Die Gischt der Tage

A wealthy dandy named Colin wins the heart of the beautiful, delicate Chloé. The two ignite a passionate romance, promising each other eternal love and fidelity. Frank Heibert narrates this classic of French literature, previously known as "Froth on the Daydream," as a modern fairy tale. In the surreal and whimsical setting where mice dance and the sun shines from all sides at once, where eels reside in water pipes and broken windows grow back, a shadow soon falls. Chloé falls ill from a lotus that grows in her lung, stealing her breath away. Their young happiness is threatened, the sun retreats, and the world becomes tighter and tighter. Suddenly, the absurd love story shifts into tragedy, subtly expressing sharp criticism of an alienated society. "L'écume des jours," by Raymo.
