Roland Topors “Portrait en pied de Suzanne” is a tragic love story between a lonely, obese and tender protagonist with his bruised left foot, which reminds him of a former love affair with Suzanne. It’s a dark but humorous story full of isolation, delirious misinterpretations and yet on the spot feelings of hunger, jelousy, kindness and nostalgia.
