JB, an orientalist of international renown, is sent to Sri Lanka by UNESCO to decipher a book of crystal discovered not far from the area controlled by the Tamils.
The book is a treatise on memory dictated by Buddha in his old age.
For JB it represents a challenge to his past which is perturbed by his wife's suicide. It is here that they loved and the tragedy took place. In the meantime he meets various people of essential importance: Da Silva, chauffeur and assistant with whom he enjoys a privileged relationship; Green, an archeologist with a strict Cartesian mind; Juliette, a young woman with whom he has an affair; Rajan, a Tamil child who personifies the stakes of a guilt to be exonerated and a deed to be done.
