What have you been doing since we last met Saul?

I have been reading a book about the Dyatlov Pass Incident

What was that?

It was about the strange deaths of nine hikers in the Ural Mountains in February 1959

Why strange?

Because they suffered peculiar injuries and investigations have not been able to determine the circumstances on the incident

How interesting

What about you?

I have been writing a small book about a French movie released in 1972

What was the movie called?

Faustine et le bel ete

Faustine and the Beautiful Summer

Why are you writing a book about a movie released over forty years ago?

Because I had a very small part in it

What was the part?

I placed Myra the passing English girl who speaks to Faustine after she swims 

Why was your part cut?

I think that the director thought it unbalanced the film

Was this your only film?

Yes

I just happened to be passing the set and was invited to participate

Nina was so apologetic to me and I still have the stills and the letter that she sent to me at the time

Have you seen the movie?

No

It contained early performances from Isabelle Huppert and Isabelle Adjani and you know how famous they became

Did either of them play the title role?

No that was played by Muriel Catala

I have never heard of her

She retired at thirty

Where shall we eat my actress friend?

You could have become a beacon in French cinema

Another Jane Birkin

And your Russian friends will discover what really happened to those poor people in the Dyatlov Pass

Let me read your book when it is published

I will

And as a treat I will take you to the Dyatlov Pass

Thank you but I would rather visit this chocolate café
