The Very Private Life of Mister Sim Page #5

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!

They go at night, when grass is grey, and they...

Franois, you look at me?

What I will remember from this day : my husband,

unable to help a child in need.

- If you knew...

- I understood right there that I didn't love this man anymore.

- But did I ever love him?

Look! We were not joking! They are great!

Come, come! Here we are.

OK, so, let's assign the cars to the drivers.

Leyla, you are here.

Jean-Do, this one is yours.

Franois, this is yours... And yours is here. OK?

- The Go-Pros, William, give... This one is yours...

- Let's take a photo all together!

OK, all together... Guys... Smile!

OK, let's applause!

Now, everybody in their cars, let's go!

It's so emotional!

Itinerary on screen. The navigation will start soon.

Take care! Have a nice trip!

I can't hear anything!

Continue for 15 km, then take the Villefranche South exit on the right

I am in the waiting room of Dr Cohen,

in Villefranche/Saone, the first dentist lucky enough

to discover the BioBuccal technology

...Yes, it's 9:
50am... You should be here on time...

We are running late, so you have... Wait a minute...

Excuse me, but what are you doing?

I'm making a little video blog for my company

- Ah... If a customer gets in, will you turn it off?

- Yes, yes, of course.

Well, try to be there on time... Thank you.

- Hello, Sim, Franois. I represent the BioBuccal toothbrushes.

I forgot you. I can't today.

Ah, it's too bad, really. You would be impressed

by the quality of our products...

The BioBuccal range is totally eco-responsible...

- Listen, I have a ton of work and 30 minutes to eat...

- Well, I leave a few of them here, you try them and you call me back?

- Your Siam Fighters are magnificent.

- You... You know it?

Ah yes... I bought 2 for my daughter. 2 males, very beautiful.

But what I didn't know at the time,

it's that they systematically fight.

I had the aquarium wrapped, and when I opened it up,

they were killing each other! One was half eaten away...

- My daughter started crying, I was ashamed...

- And you know they organize fights in Thailand?

Yes, I know... As salesmen, they try hard to turn us into Siam Fighters.

But I'm not interested. That's not how I see the job.

- Well, you have everything, thank you for your time...

- You are welcome!

But try them, especially the IP009.

Its micro-cleaning brush with pig hairs, it's a revolution.

Well, yes, my friend... I respect the "cleanliness contract".

In 300 meters, stay on the right.

I exit... now.

Oh, the chicken! The big chicken. "My chicken is so big..."

"It's so big..."

The Madere ham, it's their flagship.

Autogrill is such a great brand.
