The thought of Jérémie sleeping in his bed, close to his mother, enrages Vincent, who brings Jérémie into the woods to fight in the privacy of the tall trees and their blinding fall foliage.

The priest assures his paramour that he does not require love in return for Jérémie’s freedom, only the occasional stroll through the woods or conversation.

It is simply a facet of Jérémie’s existence, one that will help him forge a path forward, through woods dotted with mushrooms — new life born from rot and decay.

Ideally, that’s not the case in your neck of the woods.
