Description

“The driver was speeding as he had been ordered to. The heavy truck, buzzing like a giant bumblebee, overtook an endless line of cars returning to Paris. The passengers—two mannequins from the fashion house ‘Manel’ and the manager of the same house, Monsieur Bruneto—were tense and silent. Even Natasha the mannequin (Marusa Dukina’s commercial pseudonym) was silent, because she was angry at the unsuccessful trip, at the rain in Deauville, at the boredom, and at Verera the mannequin (the commercial pseudonym of the Frenchwoman Lucy Bell), who had started stirring up drama with Monsieur Bruneto. Found the time too!..” Musical excerpts from the works of composer Shane Avers, esquire (https://www.silvermansound.com/), the ZvukiPro library (https://zvukipro.com/).
