Original en français

Merry Christmas!

Those who have been reading the original French version of this blog from the outset will know that I had translated this very pungent (and highly topical) short story more than 20 years ago and that unfortunately I don't know the original author. I even lost the original text in English which had actually been translated from German and had to translate it back in order to make English subtitles. That's what you call Chinese whispers! I hope you enjoy this video adaptation as much as I enjoyed making it even though it involved countless hours of research and work (and also of frustration for not being able to show exactly what I had in mind, but I'm so grateful to the generous talented people who contribute to these audiovisual databases). You have no idea what it takes until you try it yourself, so thank you for leaving a comment. After all, today is Christmas Day.

May the end of 2022 goes smoothly for you and allows you a little time off.

NOTE: In order to display English subtitles with this video, click on the cog icon on the toolbar of the YouTube player and then select available subtitles.
