Excerpt
(Four people squeezed in front of a wall. The photographer steps back, one eye shut.)
LE PHOTOGRAPHE
Perfect, hold still. Grandpa, you’re right behind the vase.
PAPI
I’m ALWAYS behind the vase. Since 1998, I’ve been behind the vase.
RIM
Théo shut his eyes. Théo always shuts his eyes.
THÉO
I’m not shutting them, I’m blinking. It’s a reflex, not an opinion.
