À l'heure où les grands fauves vont boire
This morning, Adrien is awakened by the ringing of the telephone. This tears him away from his dream, where he was trying to seduce the woman of all his desires, which indeed exists in reality. He even has a date with her. She is an ethnologist and comes to submit to him a documentary film project in Africa, entitled "At the time when the big cats go to drink". He is indeed a script reader on behalf of a producer friend, which implies assuming certain moral responsibilities vis-à-vis the authors whose manuscripts he refuses. The cousin of one of these "refused authors" comes to implore him desperately. To seduce his beautiful, Adrien wants to offer her Zulu weapons of great value for the advancement of his work, and obtains them from a black man, Yannick, barter and vaguely marabout, contacted in the metro. But, at the time of the gift, she is very disappointed: it is only fake. The privileged witness of this unbridled court is Yoska, the friend, the confidant, the accomplice, a Slavic intellectual living on moonlighting and interior painting; with another immigrant from Eastern Europe, Milos, he rearranged Adrien's apartment in the colors of the dream: blue walls with big red hands. It is in this new setting that the cousin of the refused author reappears, announcing that he has committed suicide. He was not her cousin but her lover, and needed to confide freely. Adrien feels, if not guilty, at least very disturbed, and chooses flowers and wreath for the funeral, before thinking about "her" and finally finding her real Zulu weapons. Suddenly, she accepts his invitation to a big party of friends. Milos, Yoska, Yoska's "mother" (at least the one he chose for himself and venerates as such) and a few others, take part in an insane staging which only aims to allow Adrien to be to find himself at home alone with "her". Which only thinks of resting from all these emotions for a few hours of sleep before taking the measure of the "crazy" love, really crazy, that Adrien has for her. The latter can only explain the extravagance of his plan by his timidity. Touched, she admits to having dreamed of him too. When the room is freed from all its agitation, the world belongs only to those who love each other and who know how to dream.
