Vincent Greby is a French artist who divides his life between Kathmandu and Seoul. While passing through his family home in Gournay, he received a visit from his friend Jonathan Bougard who was returning from Polynesia. They haven't been seen for twenty years. Vincent presents him with some Putali from the Jajarkot district, ex votos of primitive Himalayan art, as well as a large African mask signed Grégoire Massengo, and then some of the paintings which made him known in Asia.
