A lecturer talks about Claude Debussy. He relates a sweet love encounter under the moonlight, within the passionate and sentimental end of the 19th century. Note after note, he translates for us the precise story he can perceive in the Suite Bergamasque, a masterpiece he plays on the piano. However, during this quite serious conference, his private life suddenly seems to interfere. Which encounter is he really talking about? Isn’t he just mixing everything up?

“I kiss you, and not a word is spoken when our lips only utter a confession of the flesh, so much stronger than any word, so much that nothing else exists but us.”
