Léa and Enzo visit a modern art museum.
Do you like modern art, Enzo?
I find it weird sometimes.
Weird question, Mark. No, it's great.
A painting with just a red dot, it's deep.
Deep? Seriously?
Ah, but your brother, he doesn't exhibit it in a museum.
That's the difference.
So, if I put a banana on a table,
it becomes art?
Exactly.
But only if you call it
the existentialist banana
and you sell it very expensive.
Ok, tomorrow, I'll exhibit my sandwich at the canteen.
Title?
The lonely ham.
Perfect.
But be careful, you have to speak with complicated words.
It's a metaphor of loneliness in modern society.
You're ridiculous.
And the joconde, then?
She, at least, has real talent.
Yes, well...
She has a mysterious smile, but she does nothing.
At least, my banana, it questions the viewer.
It mainly questions my stomach.
I'm hungry now.
Well, don't eat the work of art.
It's forbidden.
And very expensive.
After the museum, Lea and Enzo go to the theater.
I'm glad to be here.
I love classical pieces.
At least, we understand what's going on.
I hope it's an experimental piece.
With silences, slow gestures, invisible emotions...
Invisible, question mark.
You mean there are no actors?
Maybe.
Or maybe we are the actors, Lea.
Ok.
If someone asks me to improvise a monologue,
I'll go.
Look.
The curtain rises.
But...
Wait.
It's just an empty chair in the middle of the stage?
Great.
We paid 10 euros for a chair.
It's more than a chair.
It's the symbol of absence,
of emptiness,
of inner silence.
It's mostly the symbol that I'm going to fall asleep to.
What is it?
Is it a fox?
Oh...
A spirit of the forest, maybe.
Or an incarnation of existential doubt.
Wait a minute.
The piece is Hamlet, isn't it?
By Shakespeare?
Yes.
Tragedy, vengeance,
ghost,
great art.
So why is there a giant fox in Hamlet?
Maybe it's a modern version.
Or maybe the director watched Netflix too much.
