Because of the cold

By Mr Jérôme RIGAUD-DELECROIX

Marc is in his fifties. Married and a father of two, he leads a stable, structured existence, in keeping with everything he once believed life ought to be. Yet when he meets lias and falls in love with the younger man, this unrequited passion strikes like a quiet tempest.
Nothing occurs between them, yet everything unravels.
Within this unattainable desire, Marc comes to recognize his homosexuality.
This late awakening arrives not as an immediate release, but as a fracturing. Marc is under no compulsion to act; no voice demands his confession. And yet, the simple continuity of his former life becomes impossible.
So begins an intimate voyage through doubt, renunciation, and hard-won clarity-a path where every choice carries ripples far beyond his own soul: swaying his marriage, his children, and his entire place in the world.
Because of the Cold is the story of an inner threshold. The journey of a man who uncovers, perhaps too late-or perhaps just in time-a truth long buried in the shadows.
