Joséphine

Everyone will recognize themselves in this tender-hearted boy who spins fantasies and succumbs to every snare of seduction. Stumbling over the successive rejections of his beloved—at turns a siren and an ocean-woman—and drawn in by the lure of her mirages, with every defeat he rebuilds his castle in the air and, in vain, plucks the petals of the daisy.
