Il y a une Venise de l'évidence et une Venise invisible qui refuse de livrer ses secrets : Celle des églises, jamais ouvertes. Pourquoi sont-elles inaccessibles ? Jean-Paul Kauffmann a essayé de forcer ces portes solidement cadenassées où des oeuvres dorment dans le silence. Qui en détient les clés ?

Eylau, c'est la rencontre paroxystique de l'Histoire et de la géographie. Une bataille napoléonienne qui a lieu le 8 février 1807 contre les Russes, en Prusse orientale, là où se trouvait autrefois la célèbre Königsberg fondée par les chevaliers teutoniques. Aujourd'hui Eylau est située dans l'enclave de Kaliningrad, territoire russe séparé de la Russie par la Pologne et la Lituanie. Jean-Paul Kauffmann qui s'était rendu une première fois à Kaliningrad en 1991 voulait y revenir mais, cette fois, en famille. Un voyage de cohésion familiale en quelque sorte.
