Cul de bouteille - Specky Four-Eyes. Some bad news has just arrived: profoundly nearsighted, Arnaud has to wear glasses. And not any ordinary glasses but hideous lorgnettes. Arnaud does not like them and he prefers by far the vague and protean world of his nearsightedness, a world populated with monsters, unicorns and the other fancies.
Blush. At 26, Nicolas is a young man in perfect agreement with his time and yet, in his small apartment in Paris, we will discover two simple cardboard boxes contain a valuable secret about him.
En attendant que la pluie cesse - Waiting for the rain to stop. A thunderstorm bursts. A woman takes refuge under a hall where a man already shelters. Everything stops, for a moment, until the rain stops.
