There are many people who are professionally engaged in listening to others: taxi drivers, priests, waiters, psychologists… However, they are the last ones who have invested more time and money to learn to deepen to unveil the underlying messages of the thoughts of the people. Three characters confess their worries on the couch:

A man standing on the edge of a precipice, dizzy and scared. In the background, you can smell the darkness of a divorce.
The DIVA, the Queen of the Night, in a gay bar in the city center, hides the long and bumpy road that every transgender person has to go through to become who she really is. She is tragic, comical, brave, fearful, hardened, wounded…
