In the house where Marie lives, the cutlery is running wild ... Madness and fairy-story creep hand in hand in this darkly comic tale, where the mice learn the art of voodoo; where murdered bodies miraculously vanish; where the grandmother is sometimes an owl and where steak-knives grow so hungry that they scream.

A little girl is pursued by a kitchen knife, which seeks to protect her, while an elderly woman experiences haunting echoes of her mother from within a cupboard. These surreal elements create a captivating atmosphere where the boundaries of reality blur, inviting readers to navigate a world where safety and danger intertwine in unexpected ways.
