Magdalena looks a bit like Little Red Capon, is Sébastien the wolf? Elodie, then would be a shepherdess. It could have been a story. I didn't write the one about a new Little Red Riding Hood. This is another story which I submit to you for your reading.
Every year, a family gathers in the family castle; the grandfather lives there. It's a line of lawyers, a profession like any other, they could have been highwaymen. Such was not the case.Sébastien, a young member of this lineage who everyone would see studied law well, has an allergy to the law, he almost gets pimples if a law or regulation is mentioned. The law seems as intelligible to him as a mathematical treatise written in Mandarin.
In the family, there is also his cousin Elodie, it's not really a cordial understanding. We also meet other young people more or less in love with laws and regulations. The memories of the grandmother, who took to their heels, at least 10 years ago, she disappeared permeate the family less. A branch of the family returned when this one evaporated.A conflict is renewed with each succession, one of the children has the castle, the others money. In each generation, the discontented wear it in the best of cases.
The first night, he surprises Elodie in undress invoking unknown gods, he wonders if she hasn't taken a civil code on her head, or even the whole Dalloz collection. Learning the law sometimes provokes fits of dementia. Sébastien has the example. In the meadows of the property, he meets a red riding hood who did not bring a cake to his grandmother, she is interested in ghosts and supernatural beings. She reveals to him that in the castle, we hear the cry of the tortured within the dungeons. Other noises are heard, he wonders if it's an hallucination, a joke or ghosts.He invites the young lady to check for herself that no one is moaning in the basement of the castle. A story unfolds. On vacation, everything goes quickly, we have little time.
Elodie's case worries him, he communicates it to Magdalena, the red riding hood, a few days later, he learns that Elodie has suffered an emotional shock, she seeks help from her grandmother, she accuses her grand -father, president of a Court of Appeal of having killed him.
Magdalena devotes herself to comforting Elodie, she needs help, human nature can be resplendent. Sébastien is wary, because he suspects her of being interested in his girlfriend's buttocks, his looks like a holy nitouche in a suit cut for the faculties of law does not deceive him. It may also be that his fantasies dominate him, depriving him of his free will. The young people participate in the beautification of the property in the vineyards and orchards, they start looking for the grandmother. Elodie and Magdalena become inseparable. A game is created between them, he is not aware of it, the gain is to know the nature of this emotional shock.
The wolf is in the fold. We don't know who the wolf is, it may be a wolf, the sheepfold is probably not only populated by frightened sheep.
