His pleasant life filled with good prospects has gone in one fell swoop. He faces a dilemma. He can stay illegally in France, the country where he feels at home, where he has his friends, has fallen in love and can drink water from the tap.

Who are we and which of our thoughts can resist the obtrusiveness of the other world? Probably only that which is really our own essence.'
