Cavalières

What they have in common is that they're very "cavalier" in the sense of having an impertinent, cheeky, audacious demeanor. And they easily get on their "high horse". You mustn't get on their nerves or rush them.
They like to write letters to each other. They love to tell stories, and together they'll try to open up a breach in the everyday. Gathered around little Madeleine and her disability, they take it in turns to care for her. They want to allow themselves everything, to make mystery and absence speak, to provoke the unexpected. Could this be a sequel to Je pars sans moi? We don't give up madness so easily! But sequels often drift into inventing other stories. And always leave a greater share to improvisation, to what makes us stand up.
Stand up!
