The story : “Daniel is a brave scout leader. Marie-Catherine is a good aristocrat in all respects. Augustus is a cursed poet. Roland is a crooked politician. Georges is an authoritarian soldier. Berthe is a somewhat naive peasant girl. Albos is a learned Gallic leader. François is a repentant collaborator. And Tayac is a pretty smart prehistoric man. A priori, they have nothing in common. And yet… These are ghosts who live together despite themselves in the place where they died over the centuries: the Château de Mérudeaux. They spend peaceful days there – although a little monotonous – until the arrival of Alison and Nabil, a couple who have just inherited the place and who want to turn it into a hotel. It’s a nightmare for our ghosts who decide to haunt the couple in order to scare them away. Unfortunately they don’t excel in this area. Everything changes when Alison, after an obscure accident involving a chandelier, begins to see and hear them… Stuck in the castle due to the work and the loan that Nabil took out while she was in a coma (!), Alison is obliged to get to know them. She will discover funny and endearing personalities who will little by little become her new family..”
