Intrigue

Myrtle is perfect. She's all he ever dreamed of. He could even die for her... Their surrealistic passion starts on cloud nine and will finish six feet under. But in the end, love always steps up and gives itself a new chance.

One night, he meets a girl. The club is full and over-heated. He doesn't really know what he's doing here. He doesn't feel well. He's angry. He needs to get out to get some air. He bumps into her. His life instantly changes. Her name is Myrtille. She's all he ever dreamed of. Passion makes them fly. The night is long and surrealistic. Neons glitter in their eyes and in their head. In the morning, the blur gets clear. The sheets are torn. Make-up has smeared. And they're still here, together. Love has taken them. Myrtille is gorgeous. Then, months pass and get darker, as their relationship. Arguments, tears, resentment, cheating and finally despair. Passion weakens love. And one day, everything changes. From the roof of a building, he jumps. But instead of crashing his bone on the pavement, somebody catches him, holds him and leaves. He doesn't understand. He wanders the streets for a while. He catches his reflection in a window, he feels the energy of a tree, he encounters a kid reading Dostoevsky and finally, ends up in a restaurant. There, and out of the blue, the waitress kisses him on the cheek. It all happens too quickly. He decides to go home. There, he takes a minute to think, but nothing makes sense. He falls asleep on his couch. When he awakens, he goes in the bathroom to freshen-up. Myrtille appears in the mirror. She regrets. She still loves him. But he ignores her. Something clicks in his head. He needs to start anew. He cleans frenetically his apartment. Then he brings the garbage in the street. The waitress is here, looking for him. He's surprised. He calls her. She says he forgot his credit card at the restaurant. She's a bit shy. Suddenly, he kisses her, whispers his name to her ear and takes her in his arms. But as he re-opens his eyes, he sees Myrtille at the other end of the street. She's looking at them and drops a tear. He lowers his eyes and she disappears. He faces the waitress again and she tells him her name, it's Camille.
