Based on the exploration of a half-real, half-fictional territory, this literary investigation invites the reader to (re)discover - with archive photos and quotes from authors - the history of the Luxembourg coalfield, starting from a place that has disappeared in the Italian quarter of Dudelange.

Over the pages and through the generations of migrants who lived there, a treasure hunt unfolds in concentric circles around the zero point, a stone statue of a young woman with amphorae, whose whereabouts have been lost. With her wavy hair and graceful silhouette, this Roman goddess landed on Luxembourg soil and was a magnet for all those who, for one reason or another - a wedding, a couple's portrait, a family Sunday - wanted to be 'immortalised' in the garden of the Café Rossi.

A café that has since been demolished, located in a street whose name - Gare-Usines - sums up the history of a town - Dudelange - situated in the middle of the archipelago of angels - Differdange, Rumelange, Schifflange & Co - and twinned with towns from the four corners of the Old Continent: Feltre in Italy, Manom in France, Lauenburg in Germany, Lębork in Poland, Arganil in Portugal, Berane in Montenegro.
