Because what they now risk forgetting, and what began sixty years ago, started here their life together. Step by step, from the end to the beginning. Age, routine, affairs, jealousy, becoming parents, marriage, passion the two of them experienced all of this against the backdrop of Paris and the major historical upheavals of the last decades.
