The story of Alain, n his mid-thirties a man who has come to terms with his lucidity, a woman-refuge, a woman-type, the one we want to meet at some point in our life, attentive lover, confidant, sister, mother and mistress; the story therefore of those of his adventures which marked him the most: he will evoke his teenage emotions, while a possessive aunt, but still very pretty, lavished furtive caresses on him in the family car, during the inevitable Sunday hikes. He will tell about Nathalie, a lovely 18-year-old girl, a saleswoman in a Monoprix, who initiated him with infinite tenderness and a certain passion to the joys of physical love; then his wedding night in a train, of course - Then the marital boredom that sets in, with its rites, its procession of daily renunciations, small cowardice.
