I love all the old french and italian films, the stars of my childhood were Marcello Mastroianni, Sophia Loren, Yves Montand, Simon Signoret … my mother used to watch those films with me. we took our plates and sat in front of the tv having dinner, i sat mostly in front of the sofa on the floor, the room smelled of food, her perfume and flowers, candles were everywhere.

Music

The Very Best Of Nina Simone
Lady Day: the Best of Billie Holiday
Nat King Cole – The Ultimate Collection

I just realised how old fashioned i am. All those old films, books and the music from the time of my grand-mère. I think it is to contrebalancer my job. At home i want a happy good world, the goody guys are the good guys and the bad guys are the bad guys – and a happy ending, always a happy ending! Nane
