The Dandelion Days Are Over [1991]
Original
Résumé Margot is 68 years old and has an unshakeable gift for happiness and a disdain for sorrow. It is an attitude
that some find suspect, even bizarre. Suddenly, George, her beloved husband dies. But this
doesn't separate them. Every night, he returns from the dead to spend a few hours with her. But his visits become few and far between. Margot understands and accepts that in his "other world," George has found other occupations. Quietly she lets herself die in order to join him. Extrait « MARGOT : To hear you talk, it sounds like I've spent my life making everyone miserable. / SIMONE : Not all the time and not everyone, but often enough, Mum, often enough. Let me give you an example. Do you remember that episode with the dandelions? / MARGOT : The dandelions! Of course, I do! Do you remember how hard we laughed? » Revue de presse "Margot, the protagonist, helps us explore our concept of happiness and question our view of life, sensitively guided by Hedwige Herbiet (...) who has given us characters of great complexity, and a beautiful, fresh text full of tenderness and wit"” France Simard, Le Droit, Ottawa. |
