On a bridge

" When I was younger, I looked for sports cars. On this bridge, I saw a Bugatti Véron for example. It is the fastest passenger car of the world. This car is technically rather brilliant."
It is with this kind of conversation that Philippe welcomes a person that visits him on the bridge that surmounts the highway A1 between Yverdon-les-Bains and Lausanne in Switzerland.
He comes on this bridge every Sunday. For 30 years.
Regardless the weather. Between midday and 4pm.
His scooter parked on the edge of the bridge.
His favorite thing is at 3 pm, when the traffic accelerates. At that time, he thanks the visitor: " it is 3 pm, the traffic is going to increase. I am going to return to my place. ".
At the same place of his bridge.
He looks always on the same side.
Obviously, we feel that there is something else. Coming on a bridge every Sunday during 30 years has other goals than watching sports cars passing. We imagine something darker, more intimate and less speakable but every Sunday since September, 2015, we are two on this bridge and it is maybe the essential.
