L'Adoption
Alain-Paul Mallard
Alone in the middle of the vacant lot, an old man dressed in striped pajamas. He seems confused, disconnected, lost in a world of his own. Marion and Melanie, twelve and ten years old, best friends, walk up to meet him. It is getting late. Meekly, the old man lets himself be led to their refuge. Mélanie : - And now, what do we do ? Marion : - We're gonna keep him. For us. We're going to adopt him.
