The Very Private Life of Mister Sim Page #4

Synopsis: François Sim considers himself worthless and he may have good reasons for that. Hasn't he lost his job as well as his wife Caroline? Isn't he unable to relate to Lucy, his teenage daughter? Didn't he, when he was eighteen miss out on passion whereas the sexy, gorgeous Luigia opened her arms to him? Hasn't he - he who keeps craving communication - invariably proved a dreadful bore to others...? So, when Sim is unexpectedly offered a job, he takes it, hoping one more time to give a little bit of meaning to his life. Even if his task amounts to driving across France and trying to sell... a "revolutionary biological toothbrush" to reluctant dentists!

Back home, his wife was very worried.

At the time, there was no satellites...

Then he had a simple idea to escape the trap.

Lying. Lying and sending false positions.

He started pretending he was leading the race,

while actually he was far behind.

- Oh... sorry.

- No, it's OK !

- Am I disturbing? Are you OK?

- Ah, it's great !

I just wanted to say, I will leave now.

We couldn't see each other a lot, so I wanted to make a kiss.

- Maybe you can take me home?

- Sure.

- But, excuse me, but what happened to him?

- After?

- He became mad.

- His idea didn't save him?

- I don't know when I can give it back.

- I'm not in a hurry.

And it will give us an opportunity to meet again.

... And I visit the country... And plus I make a video diary.

- Aren't you afraid you'll get bored?

To get bored? No, no...

I like Provence... And I can make pauses.

My ex-wife and my daughter live in Clermont : I can visit them.

- What do you think?

- Me? I don't know...

- I was wondering, how did you come to my house?

- With my car.

- My own car. Not a 3008, unfortunately.

Now that I think of it, I could have driven home with it. It's stupid.

- I'm stupid, I could think of it too...

- You are stupid indeed ! In a way.

- You didn't understand? - What?

- Why I invited you tonight?

She wanted me to bang her mum !

I really didn't get it ! She wanted me to do her mother, damn !

Lise! How come you are online at this time, question mark?

I was at a dinner tonight, I met someone (Poppy),

he's about 30...

Unbelievable.

I was a cougar on this one.

What about your evening?

I attended my writing class.

I'm writing these days. I just finished a short story.

Wanna read?

Ah? What is it about?

- It's called "the nettle pit".

- Ah, what a b*tch.

You don't have the right to do this to me.

What a funny title !

Lino and Franois were childhood friends.

Lino was a charming man, caring and curious,

while my husband was... He was...

It was 2 years ago, in Provence.

The kind of holiday where everyone gets bored but hides it.

Dad ! You look at me?

- Dad? Can I jump as well?

- Come on, be serious...

Antoine, come see here.

You see the sedimentary layers, here?

It means we are in an ancient chalky tidal reservoir.

This is from the cretaceous period.

Scratch the soil, see if you can find some rocks.

- This is great. What do you understand from that?

- The sea was here at that time?

Was it because of boredom or cowardice?

Franois could never share anything with his daughter.

How could he notice that she was growing up?

- Dad, can I ask a question? - Of course honey.

- Why is grass green? - Aaah, yes, why is it green?...

- That's because... Eeeh... Little wizards get out, with green paint...
