Old-fashioned stories, classic endings, stage-like scenes, sung dialogues. You can talk to it about the lack of time, the cruelty of life, or even the ancient "triunes"...

But in the end, you will find that the only comment needed is the sentence: very simple and very good.

  • Garage Attendant: All that singing gives me a pain. I like movies better.

  • Guy Foucher: What's wrong? Are you crying?

    Aunt Élise: Don't be silly.

    Guy Foucher: Yes, you are. Is it because you're all alone?
