Les Obsédés

Ferdinand Prestal, a modest editorial assistant at the Central Railway Company, spends his evenings scribbling tiny stories, treating his wife Marté’s curiosity as both muse and critic. He insists she reads his drafts immediately, turning their domestic routine into a quiet partnership of pen and patience. Their marriage is framed by his confession that writing is his only distraction, and by Marté’s keen, unassuming observations.

Meanwhile, Marté works in a weary shelter for displaced women, where she records their desperate testimonies without judgment. Her gentle presence calms the storm of suffering, yet the endless flow of stories fuels Ferdinand’s own literary obsession. As the couple navigates the thin line between documentation and imagination, the listener is drawn into a world where ordinary lives become the raw material for a writer’s restless mind.
