About
"The personality of my mother weighed down on me from my adolescence on. All the words, all the lines that I had to learn turned into fat... I carry my suffering with me and exhibit it... I was lucky... Because my mother ended up telling me that she would never have guessed that my mind could be so rich and that she was so distant from it... We're going to start getting on well !"
Charles (played by Cyrille Bonnet) - From a conversation with Florence Strauss, director, at the start of the peace talks.
