Role description

Le père de Gui est inspiré du cliché du père qui a de la difficulté à vivre ses émotions. Le genre d’homme qui laisse sa femme parler et intervient le moins possible. Malgré son air sévère et taciturne, il garde un bon fond. Le père de Gui s’exprime principalement par des coups d’œil et des regards durant le spot. Ce silence ajoute un poids à la réplique finale qui sert de dénouement : « Ça, ça ne changera jamais, mon homme. » Sa façon à lui de dire à son fils qu’il l’aime, au fond.

Role description

La mère de Gui est une gentille dame qui, malgré sa tendresse envers son fils, est résolue à lui faire son annonce. Légèrement déchirée avant d’apprendre la nouvelle à Gui, elle se lance. Plus le dialogue avance, plus elle est convaincue. La mère de Gui est celle qui se charge de la communication dans la famille et son amour pour son fils est probablement la cause de la situation dans laquelle ils se trouvent. D’où l’ambiguïté dans son jeu.
