At first glance, Paul-Émile Dumoulin seems like just a regular librarian. He is serious, proud and very orderly. Every book is in its place on his impeccable shelves. The only problem? As soon as Paul-Émile gets his nose in a book, reality disappears, giving way to slightly crazy worlds coming out between the pages. Through his adventures, the very sensible librarian metamorphoses. He suddenly turns into strange and silly characters who perform acrobatics, hand-balancing, juggling, break dancing, and beatboxing. Just how far will reading take him?
