She is telling me about an episode during last year’s Nuit Blanche: there was this teenage girl who, while attending one of the installations, started screaming, verbally attacking others and misbehaving because she was drunk.  The organizers managed to locate her mother, who came for her to the site and was way worse: completely wasted.  Not only was she in a very bad condition, but also she stood up for her daughter as if she hadn’t been doing anything.  “What the fuck is that?!”, my friend complained.

“A true love story?”, I said.
