Christian Bodin and his mother Maria Bodin are set on an adventure for the Land of Smiles. They meet many zany characters and face several obstacles along their journey in Thailand.

The colorful Maria Bodin and her son Christian are over the moon: they have just been chosen by the Belgian royal family to organize a gala in honor of their 25th wedding anniversary. The gala will be held at the Royal Palace in front of the royal family themselves. Unfamiliar with the workings of the Belgian monarchy, mother and son will have to learn the ropes, get organized, and prepare to join the aristocratic ranks.

From Pouziou les Trois Galoches to the Isle of Beauty, it’s just a step… Invested with a supernatural power transmitted by the ghost of his father, Christian foresees a future murder in a premonitory dream. A certain Pasqualini, a clementine producer in the Aléria region, will be assassinated in seven days. But how to apprehend the murderer of a dead man who is not dead? Thanks to the legendary common sense and tyrannical nature of Maria, ready to annoy all the Corsicans to save one, and the rare flashes of genius from her big oaf of a son Christian. It’s just as well if, in the process, they have to immerse themselves in local customs, disguise themselves as bandits, try Corsican polyphonies, or force Christian to eat brocciu.
