"The roommate is the ideal woman!"

Thus speaks Don Elemirio, a great man of Spain and a hermit in his immense apartment in the seventh arrondissement of Paris. As in Perrault's famous tale, the rules of sharing a flat are simple: only one room is forbidden, the darkroom. But Saturnina, the Mighty, must find a place to live. Autonomous, cultured, brilliant, the heroine doesn't know what to think of the extremely wealthy original. But above all, what happened to his eight previous roommates? Would they have transgressed the prohibition?


Saturnine will have to avoid the traps and manipulate the manipulator.
