It is in a psychiatric hospital that Felix, a 15 years old boy, resides. He is suspected by those he meets of being of seeing and hearing things that the rest of the world ignores. Indeed, he shouts from the rooftops to be the host of twelve creatures who might be very frightening at first, but who are actually very good friends. On the other hand, Felix also complains about the imminent arrival of a thirteenth creature which is far from being as friendly as the others, and could totally cause harm to the outside world.
The day before an important psychological examination, the staff in charge of Felix decides to carry out an experiment: install cameras in the corridors of the hospital, in order to monitor his behavior.
The verdict is surprising to say the least: on the rare video shots that are not completely blurred, an unknown and unclear silhouette follows Felix wherever he goes, but the latter does not seem to be afraid of it...
