Further details

« Des fêtards sont venus voir l’enterrement des victimes d’une catastrophe de chemin de fer. Ça leur donne des désirs érotiques (comme quand ils allaient voir des exécutions capitales). Ces fêtards sont des célébrités de l’époque dont les noms sont inscrits sur les ballons. »

‘Some partygoers have come to watch the funeral of the victims of a rail disaster. It arouses their erotic desires (in a similar way to when they went to watch executions). These partygoers are celebrities from that time whose names are inscribed on the balloons)’.
