Plot

Anne-Marie Gratigny is the wife of a famous plastic surgeon, Gilbert. She has a good life, with maids, money, and everything ordinary women would dream of. But her marriage is a total failure. Her husband lives for his job and does not pay proper attention to Anne-Marie. As a result of years of neglect, Mrs. Gratigny has a lover named Leo, who works as a ship builder, and is urging Anne-Marie to leave her husband and this unbearable situation, and go with him to China, where he is seeking a big project for his work. However, after spending an entire day out, planning her departure, when Anne-Marie returns home, she is surprised to find the whole family there, with some very shocking news: Gilbert has died in a car accident. Relieved that her failed marriage is at an end, Anne-Marie now sees the chance to meet her lover more often, and is looking forward to being able to go to China with him, but all her hopes are dashed by the continuous presence of her family and in particular her son, who won't give her a break, thinking she's in shock because of losing her husband. She now has to pretend to be in mourning and hide her happiness and relief.

Cast
gollark: I mean, at some point you would just have to shove a JS interpreter on an actual CPU on board.
gollark: It's also practically impossible because JS is too dynamic (`eval`, `new Function`, `fn.toSource()`, the various `call`y methods, whatever is going on with empty slots in arrays, the ability to set properties on arrays too).
gollark: No, I mean it's logically impossible. JS is turing complete. Your PCB has finite memory space.
gollark: That's not actually possible.
gollark: Well, you could write a JS to bytecode compiler and bytecode interpreter hardware.
