NUDE

We're waking up...

A little groggy, are we?

We can't remember anything?

We had an accident during a police raid,

fell and took a bullet meant for a colleague.

Can't remember?

We're a hero, actually.

That's normal. The voice will come back.

There's a board by the bed to write on.

20 May 2026.

Can we remember our name?

Fish. Franck Fish.

WHERE?

Villefranche Intercommunal Hospital.

Do we remember being married?

Great...

After eight years in a coma we can remember everything!

We're lucky.

Technology kept the muscles fit. And the brain.

There are a couple of things...

You'll see.

Let's rest now. Doctor's coming.

Can I...

take a selfie?

Waking up after eight years is a big event.

I'll post it on View. I should get 150 kisses.

Good job we didn't get turned off. We can thank Mum, who insisted!

No...

Here.

- It's a great day! - Feeling better, son?

We're glad you've woken up.

It's all right. The worst is over.

- We were so worried. - We came almost every day.

How's your head? Not too many blanks?

Remember being in the police? Like your old man!

And you're a good cop, son!

Your colleague called for help. She'd be dead but for you.

They've been taking good care of you.

- It costs us a bomb but... - We made an arrangement with the bank.

MEDICARE?

There's none of that now. It's gone!

You know...

things have changed a bit in eight years.

A couple of things.

Yes...

She took it hard. We didn't want to bother her.

We'll see...

Yes. We'll see.

Have faith in medicine.

You'll get your life back gradually.

How's our survivor, then?

Hello... Catching up with the family?

How do we feel, Mr Fish?

Have you been told not to get up for the time being?

Your heart's still weak.

Take it easy. You must avoid fatal shocks.

Yes...

You've seen...

What have you seen?

You've seen...

What?

NAKED

Yes, but no... Yes, no... Let me explain.

Patients in a coma often have very realistic dreams.

It's a chemical reaction of the cervical cortex.

It will pass.

But you're not leaving us yet. We've grown used to having you.

And I've received the payment.

Good.

May I see you both for a second? Just a bit of admin.

- Yes... - Thank you.

You'll be fine.

There are no physical after-effects.

The “clothes make the man” approach is beneficial for now.

But let's go easy on his heart and avoid sudden shock.

-We'll start rehab when he can get up. -I'm worried he'll suffer.

Can't we take him home?

No... It's too soon.

We'll gradually bring him up to speed.

- You're right. Let's not rush him. - Indeed.

Enjoy the rest of the day. I'll see you soon.

Don't forget to tip.

Since they stopped salaries, medical staff have had it tough freelancing.

These things make you so hot... I'd forgotten.

It's a soy burger. Why?

There's no more meat! It's unhealthy.

It's been five years now. Another minor change...

We'll get used to it.

Temperatures have risen sharply.

It almost finished off olive oil.

The streets are full of immigrants from Monaco.

It was wiped off the map. Poor souls...

But for now, we're getting extra tofu bacon.

Bon appetit.

It's not possible.

We must stay in our room. For our own good.

I'm not going to fight. Do we want a jab? Want to be tied to the bed?

Leave?

Physically, you're fine. But we're still monitoring your heart.

And there are other issues, like your vocal cords.

It's a matter of survival.

Your survival...

Readjusting to the outside world after all these years.

Tell me...

What's your relationship to the truth?

Were you prone to lying before your accident?

So-so...

Do you have an issue with transparency?

Do you have problems with nudity?

Tell me, Franck. I want to help.

What?

Are you hot?

Are you cold? Hungry?

What's the matter with you?

And you really think you're ready to leave?

That's not a good sign.

It's okay. I can read, Franck. I'll see what I can do.

What?

Well, well...

He almost twigged.

He's too nervous. He needs calming down.

We can't tell him yet. His PLSF requires further tests.

His psychological load-support faculty?

His post-lesion synaptic flow.

- His brain. - Yes, of course.

I have an idea.

We could give him a radio.

He'd feel connected to the outside world without seeing too much.

And music soothes the soul.

Smart...

The record fall in insecurity,

with only a dozen muggings in France this year,

is a sign of the effectiveness of the new anti-crime and violence policy.

Sitting in public places is difficult.

Bacteria and viruses can enter your rectum.

You need a solution. Use Publinett towels.

With Publinett, wherever I sit feels like home.

It's not what you think. It's the law.

The Transparency Law was passed five years ago.

For security reasons we must all be naked in public.

- Transparent clothing may be tolerated. - Liberty, Equality, Nudity.

Liberty, Equality, Nudity!

Now that you know, the best thing is to jump right in.

Welcome to the new world, darling!

Shit!
