Baccara #45

In "Coeur solitaire," seventeen-year-old Celia faces her first birthday in a new town, far from friends and familiar faces. Left feeling adrift after her family’s sudden move, she finds a flicker of hope in the distant lights of a passing carnival—her only chance to escape the quiet ache of loneliness.

In "Le bonheur de mon coeur," Corrine, back in Paris after three years away, sees Leslie with another woman and is struck by regret. A newspaper clipping from an old wedding announcement had reached her, making her believe it’s too late to reach out. When Leslie spots her, he claims he’s in town for business and asks about her husband—she lets him think she’s married.
