Dos narradores, uno al que vemos (el coleccionista) y otro al que no vemos (el documentalista), discuten sobre una serie de pinturas. El tema elegido es la obra de un supuesto artista francés, Tonnerre, quien en el siglo XIX habría retratado las diferentes imágenes de una ceremonia secreta que fue posteriormente interrumpida por las autoridades, propiciando un escándalo. Pero no, quizás lo que hizo el artista fue ocultar en esa representación las pistas de otro escándalo, aun mayor, que involucraba a una conocida familia de la época. De esta manera, el coleccionista recorre la geografía del cuadro, buscando los indicios de la verdad oculta.
