About the Author
I spent my childhood between Aix and the Merlan district in Marseille. The latter, a mosaic city, surrounded by its hills and drenched in light, remains a permanent source of inspiration! First trained in animation cinema, I evolved towards directing, both institutional and fictional. I then took acting classes and directed plays. Then writing caught my attention: theatrical at first, then cinematographic. My projects today: the writing of 2 feature films. Finally, I am the happy father of a little boy since last May.

1925, in a village in Provence. The noble Madellis family leads an idle lifestyle. But Uncle Casimir bursts in and threatens to end their pension if his niece Charlotte does not find a husband in less than 24 hours. She takes the first person to come: Émile, the artisan neighbor, without knowing that he is in love with her. The marriage is pronounced with the greatest discretion, but the Madellis family, under the control of the tyrannical grandmother Mrs. Léo, decides to do everything to cancel it. She sends Emile to a college to “re-educate” him, to make him a suitable husband. Madame Léo meets Baron Médi Filet in whom she sees an excellent substitute and initiates a rapprochement. The Madellis organize a public engagement party but Émile shows up unexpectedly. Casimir learns of the attempted “remarriage” and immediately changes his will: the inheritance will go to Charlotte and Emile’s child. Casimir and Lucie reveal the Madellis’ game to Émile. He escapes, then is kidnapped by Médité. The Madellis learn of his disappearance, and Charlotte begs Casimir to help her find him. Émile escapes and suffers successive ambushes: bandits, detectives, police officers, all seek to bring him back and obtain the reward. Upon his return, the Madellis organize a reception to formalize the union. Émile arrives drunk, humiliates Madame Léo and charms the assembly. Charlotte and Emile, in love, escape through the window...
