The joke

Lust is controlled by consumption Peter, a hollowed-out accountant with an ego the size of a shriveled raisin, links his happiness to the love of his daughter and to the pints with his football buddies. Above all, he wants to be left alone. He succeeds quite well ... until a pedantic son-in-law and his haughty family capsize his floating life with a few brutal waves. Just when he threatens to drown, he receives help from an unexpected source. A sick mind and an absolutely amoral joke seem to be enough to save his property. "I loved my daughter dearly, but lately I couldn't shake the feeling that that love was more about the girl of old than the woman she had become. Let's face it, apart from the fact that she was sexually mature, there was nothing wrong with her." "I was getting tired of all that struggling between heart and reason. In the final analysis, lust was less tiring than being in love. Lust is controlled by consumption, being in love is only fueled by it. At least in the beginning, because as being in love is shortened to love, lust already looks elsewhere." Gert Erauw (°1965, Antwerp) is a lawyer by training.
