Les Règles du savoir-vivre dans la société moderne

The birth of a child, deliverance for the mother, is a wonderful moment. At that minute, the world stops for the happy parents, who understand the burden that falls to them in good times and bad...

For this little being that's when the trials begin... At every moment of its life, it will be confronted with the rules of savoir vivre that will have to guide it in its search for happiness. Whether it's during his childhood, his engagement, his wedding or his death ceremony, he'll have to adapt to the conventions of our beautiful society. He'll go through everything from euphoric laughter to gaping dismay at the merciless rigors of propriety.

Question: are the rules of savoir vivre of our society (past, present or future) a canvas or rather a straitjacket?

It's up to you to make up your own mind through this journey, which I'm sure will evoke a part of your own experience.
