1. The Very Private Life of Mister Sim (La Vie très privée de monsieur Sim)
Mister Sim is of no concern whatsoever. At least, this is what he thinks about himself.

He takes advantage of the job to catch up with people from his childhood, to meet the first big love of his life, along with his daughter, and to make amazing discoveries and, in so doing, rediscover himself.
