Luchien

The sun is shining and Luchien is relaxing on an inflatable chair in the middle of the pool. He opens his eyes and the sun is dazzling. He seeks his sunglasses on his head but they are not there. He looks around and sees them at the edge of the pool.

Luchien gestures to Gabin that he wants a helmet. Gabin doesn't want to go get it for him. Luchien shows him he has his boots on and so he can't go inside to get it himself. Gabin goes and gets Luchien his helmet.

Luchien walks dangerously close to the edge of a cliff. He looks down. Gabin has a fear of heights and dares not look. He throws a stone into the vacuum and listens to the sound of it hit the bottom.

Luchien is sitting on a stool in a boxing-ring, wearing boxing gloves. He is leaning back on ropes that surround the ring. He has a black eye. Gabin is his coach. He is perched on the ropes and encourages him to fight by miming punches.

Luchien is surrounded by nature in a vast prairie. He stretches his arm out and we discover Gabin, perched on his arm wearing an aviator hat and flying goggles. Luchien looks up and launches Gabin into the air.

Christmas decor. We see a tree with a beautiful garland around it. Luchien puts a wreath on it but the lights won't work. He finds that he is missing one bulb. He searches through a box on the floor. He shakes the box but there is nothing inside.

Luchien is asleep at the foot of a tree. He snores. Gabin is lying beside him and snoring also (Luchien inhales, Gabin exhales). A dead leaf falls from the tree on to Luchien; he awakes. He touches the leave but it does not move...

Luchien is trying to paint a portrait ... we do not see that he has painted. His model is Gabin, who strikes a pose on a perch. Luchien shows Gabin the pose and then returns to his place.

Luchien dons a concert tailcoat. He adjusts his bow tie in front of the mirror. He adjusts his sleeves. He moves his fingers like a pianist.

Gabin is doing the dishes. He wipes the plates and puts them in a big stack in front of him. He asks Luchien to put them away. Luchien takes the stack of ten plates and goes to store them away (it is assumed that he is taking them to a cabinet).
