In my dream Catherine Deneuve and Jean Reno were sitting on a veranda It is the middle of the day and they are enjoying lavender coffee Their daughter who is played by Astrid Berges-Frisbey is deaf She is haunting the shadows but is acutely aware of her parents conversation Helene is looking out towards the desert and tells…

Bruno Starfish lives in the shallows off Golden Beach He is wise beyond his years and often watches the seabirds Journey into an infinity that they are not aware of at all This saddens Bruno as he has visited infinity on many occasions As its lavender confectionery is freely available to all echinoderms Who prefer to trade in dollars and…
