Who loves a long and boring afternoon

The middle-class Frederick, who is happily married, doesn't like free afternoons. When he is free, he sometimes begins to fantasize about encountering scenes with various women, maybe on street corners or in coffee shops. Even he found out that after marriage he found all women attractive. As a result, he even had a dream about wearing a sensual transmitter on his body, which could eliminate the free will of others and make all the women he met logically accept his provocation. Even this slightly naive daydream can make Frederick reminisce for a long time. It can be seen that Frederick, surrounded by marriage, has long been deprived of some fun and rights that he thinks are hard to give up. Although Frederick ostensibly abides by his contract of loyalty to his spouse, the blandness of his life still makes him feel restless. One afternoon, an old friend Chloe broke into his life without warning. It also pryed open Frederick's long-awaited desire for an extramarital affair. It was this excitement and curiosity, coupled with Chloe's increasingly arrogant temptation, that made Frederick gradually fall into it. I remember when I was still in high school, whenever the sun shone directly into the classroom in the afternoon, I would start to feel sleepy at a certain time, resting my arms on the desk lazily between classes, and occasionally dreaming would meet. Let me temporarily get away from the heavy learning pressure. Among them, the most common scene I dream is that the boy I like walks into the classroom casually, grabs my hand, ignores the teacher and classmates, and takes me outside the classroom. Then the two ran hand in hand across the playground and out of the school gate, laughing and looking at each other. Maybe it's an inappropriate comparison, but from such an angle, it seems that Frederick can better understand what he thinks. Fortunately, he finally withstood the temptation.

Love in the Afternoon quotes

  • Chloé: Is she jealous?

    Frédéric: She's seen worse. We have a beautiful English nanny who walks around nude.

    Chloé: She's not afraid?

    Frédéric: She rightly believes I'm above physical urges. And she's not concerned about a girl I can't even talk to.

    Chloé: But you can talk to me.

  • Frédéric: [looking in a mirror] We really do make a nice couple, don't we?

    Chloé: The perfect couple.

    Frédéric: Chloé, would you marry me?

    Chloé: You're married.

    Frédéric: In real life, sure. But, in another life.

    Chloé: A double life?

    Frédéric: Not exactly. Don't you ever dream of living two lives at once, simultaneously, but completely and perfectly?

    Chloé: Impossible.

    Frédéric: It's a dream.
