At the start, Christine Blanc is a temp, her boyfriend has gone. Near the storys end, shes been offered a steady job, she has a fiancé, other men seem interested in her, shes passed her driving test, and, after she wins 1000 Euros in a scratch-off, her colleagues sing that shes a jolly good fellow (one of us). But somethings askew her gaze is too direct, her eyes open too widely; conversational gambits hit odd notes; she parrots others words; she cooks too much food when she invites a supervisor to dinner. When the supervisor takes Christine on a spontaneous outing that disorients her, her oddities become something else. Can things ever be normal?
