The three narratives concern the narrator and his relationship with a young woman, Michelle, who sells postcards from a stall at the base of the Eiffel Tower and from whom he buys a card of Yves Klein’s blue paintings, Henri, a Jewish tailor, who reflects on the fate of his parents in Paris in the war and his relationship with a lady who brings blue flowers and bread to him each day, and finally Yves Klein, the painter, who made his name through his focus on the colour blue. The ending is unpredictable but entirely appropriate.
