While everyone else is asleep, little Alix discovers a boy named Marcel sitting in her closet. He seems to come straight from the Gilded Age, and when she meets him, Marcel is looking for a good title to give the book he is holding on his knees. The following morning, Alix shares her nocturnal adventures with her cousin Clarisse, and from then on the two girls have only one objective: heading off to Cabourg to meet le petit Marcel and help him in his quest…

Le Fantôme du Petit Marcel is brimming with discreet Proustian references and outlines a reflection on the modernity of Proust’s writing throughout multiple retellings.
