Adrian is 40 years old. Every Christmas, since he was 8 years old, Sophie, his sister, gives him an encyclopedia. But today there is more serious. Adrien is having dinner at his parents’ house with his sister and Ludo, his future brother-in-law, who asks him to give a speech for their wedding. To reassure him he advises him to do something simple and that he is sure it will be wonderful. Adrien of course… We do not expect a simple speech from him. No. We expect something “wonderful” from him.
He actually finds himself invested with a messianic gesture on which rests the quality of a ceremony elaborated for months, the cohesion of two entire families, the emotional future of his sister, and perhaps even his mental health. But that’s not all… He texted his ex, Sonia, with whom he has been on a “break” for three weeks. The message was sent at 5:24 p.m. Read at 5:56 p.m. It’s well past 8 p.m. Why isn’t she answering?
