Sadourní is a dwarf. Having served half of his twenty-year prison sentence, he subscribes to a transitional system that allows him to leave the prison daily to go to work, and so to progressively reinsert himself into society. To keep this privilege, he needs to find employment quickly, but all the jobs advertised in the newspapers require a good appearance, and his is nothing but strange. He is confronted with a dilemma: to escape from the prison and endure a life as a fugitive, or to adjust to society's expectations through a physical metamorphosis. Both options involve a removal, the first is a breakout, the second is an evasion.
