A group of kayakers descending a river find a body caught in some branches on the shore. He is taken to hospital in a deep coma. With no ID, dressed in handmade clothing, the PJ believes that the man was hit on the head and thrown from a bridge. An assembly of environmental activists protesting against the urbanization of the area, recognize him as Christophe Perrin, a hermit who lives alone in a cabin and whom they see as an example to follow.
