Pitch

Henri is a disillusioned man. He has spent his life writing poetry, but now he is forced to accept that he does not have the talent of his idols. Left to a world that has lost all flavor, he is no longer able to see anything but the absurdity of his surroundings: everything seems as meaningless to him as his own life. So what is left for a man who thinks that nothing has meaning? Henri still has the right to commit suicide, and that is what he intends to do when he is found lying on the banks of the Seine. However, life has other plans, and a series of incongruous encounters ensues.
