Once upon a time, in the mists of time, an enormous whale was transformed into a man and was given as a partner to Neu; the eternal woman who had wandered alone through the Artic frozen shores until then. From their union, a women, men and cetaceans race was born and it occupied the hills and built the so called yarangas in the huge mountains from whose tops the house smoke went out. This way, the author submerges us into a fable full of magic and references to far away cultures where even the light is different and all the beings; independently of their origin join together in a unique fight for survival. The collective memory, the nostalgia for the land which stays behind and the extreme defence of the environment are the elements with which Rytcheau, mixing crudeness and tenderness transports us to an unknown world from which he pronounces a diatribe against the depredatory man; an enemy of himself and everything surrounding him. He makes reappear the former values of respect towards the nature of the cuckoo country.
