About
A man and a woman fill in their days: they shop at the supermarket, become
friends, then lovers. One day, the man finds a new job. Sometimes I think
it would have been better if I'd broken my leg rather than persist in
telling this sort of story. Sometimes I think: next time, they'll work,
they'll fall in love at first sight, some place in the tropics, and blah
di blah. Just joking‡” I don't tan!
Marion Vernoux - Director
