Synopsis
On a beach in the small hours a young female jogger is seized upon by a widow suffering from solitude. Caught like a fish hook, line and sinker, Julie finds herself led in the blink of an eye to question her own emotional life. And Juliette amuses herself in placing the place the grain of sand exactly where it should go.
Dense and sharp, this well chilled theatrical aperitif invites you to let go your imaginations.

Extract

Julie	You weren't happy with your husband.
Juliette	You, at any rate, you are not happy.
Julie	Me? But of course. I'm perfectly happy.
Juliette	Is it the happiness that is making you so anxious? Don't tell me you aren't jumpy. You are shaking from your cap down to your trainers!
Julie	It's true, I am a bit anxious. I've just had an argument with Julien.
Juliette	Your boyfriend ? About what ?
Julie	Nothing. Foolish things.
Juliette	Have you split up ?
Julie	We just had an argument.
Juliette	You haven't split up and you are giving yourself an air of freedom! You are easily satisfied.
Julie	All couples argue. There's nothing to make a drama out of.
