This show could have been called Les Regretz or Les Trous.

It’s called Les Voüéces. Les Voüéces are voices that disrupt the daily lives of Rodogonde and Frénéjus, two women who live in seclusion at the top of a very tall tower. Together, they embroider, play, and chat in an enchanted, pseudo-medieval language. They try to fill the gaps left by silence, the passing of time, melancholy, or the dizzying abyss of doing nothing while the world burns. And some gaps are hard to fill…

But who are these voices trying to speak to them? Ghosts, a hoax, tragedy, their fear, their guilt, or just a stranger seeking shelter?
