Charles, Dead or Alive
On the 100th anniversary of a watchmaking company's founding in Geneva, Charles Dé, the founder's 50-year-old grandson, has had it: he speaks eccentrically to a reporter, recognizing his grandpa as a craftsman and his son as a businessman, but he is evasive about himself. He moves in with a young couple he meets by chance, doing the cooking, reading, drinking, and philosophical debates with them. Charles becomes a favorite of the young couple. He communicates with a daughter in secret, and the rest of the family employs a private investigator to track him out, triggering a business takeover that threatens his Bohemian happiness.
