Capucine
Capucine "Capu" Choquet, 35-year-old single woman, connected and uninhibited. AirPods firmly in her ears, Capucine is on the phone. Wherever she is, she's sharing one of her conversations with a girlfriend, friend or relative. Cut off from the outside world, in her own bubble, Capu talks loudly, about everything, without taking into account those around her. In fact, she's the first to be surprised by people's insistent stares, as they unwillingly take advantage of what she's saying. The frankness, extravagance or freshness of her words always end up surprising, shocking, interloquer or making those she meets smile. And even when she realizes it, it doesn't stop her from doing it again on the next phone call.
