L'homme est mourant, il suffoque dans la solitude de l'h pital de Trompepetit sur Jouvence. Mi-comateux, les principes moraux qu'on lui a enseign s jadis rejaillissent soudain et le miroir de sa vie d gouline de noirceurs et de flammes de l'enfer, lui renvoyant l'ignominie de son pass . Au cr puscule de sa vie, il veut sauver son me de l'enfer si proche. Il appelle Alb ric, son ami d'enfance devenu pr tre, pour une confession.Pendant sept jours, chiffre hautement symbolique, Gabriel confesse les crimes qu'il a commis ou dont il a t complice, mais ces confessions suffiront-elles ? Le septi me jour sera-t-il celui de la r demption, ou celui des fracas de l'enfer ?

At the Trompepetit Hospital, a man is at the end of his rope. He can barely breathe. Half-conscious, the moral principles he was taught when he was a child emerge in his mind. The atrocities and depravities of his life stretch out before him. Suddenly, he feels like a great sinner. He is frightened by the sight of Hell. He calls his schoolmate Alberic, now a Roman Catholic priest, to confess all his sins and obtain the salvation of his soul.Thence, a seven-day confession is held at the hospital during which he confesses his crimes. But will it be enough to obtain the forgiveness of the Almighty ?
