(france) Brigitte Giraud

Brigitte and Claude are a typical couple. They came to Paris from Algeria and struggled on their own literary and musical paths. They sold and bought houses, but just days before they were finally to move into their dream new home, Claude suddenly died in a motorcycle accident, and his time was frozen in 1999. Twenty years later, when Brigitte had to move out of the house, she decided to write about her lost lover and her former life before her memory faded. She wrote down 23 "ifs" - "if I had not planned to sell the apartment", "if Stephen King had died on June 19, 1999", "if it had rained that Tuesday morning", "if the traffic lights had not turned red"... To explore whether her husband's unexpected death was a global "collusion".
