Cieli, occhi, corvi, girasoli: dovunque giri lo sguardo, Johanna vede dipinti di Van Gogh. Splendono nel buio, la svegliano all'alba; prima del canto degli uccelli, prima dei rumori di Parigi che riparte. La gente non li capisce, non li ama. Li usa come fondi d'armadio, per tappare i buchi del pollaio.
