Gilles has not seen his two daughters, Fabienne and Johanna, aged 11 and 9, since their German mother suddenly took them to Germany and placed them under the protection of her parents five years ago. When he was finally given visiting rights it all came to nothing with either the pretext that his children "would become ill" if they saw him or no one would answer the door when he. And now his daughters are saying that they never want to see their dad again Gilles, a 36-year-old pianist and engineer (from Centrale School) who wishes to assert his legal rights, is deeply involved in the French association "SOS Enlèvements d'Enfants" that deals with this form of child abduction - (they have almost 200 similar cases on their books). In view of the conflicting rulings of the French court of Beauvais and two German courts in Krefeld and Dusseldorf, which has left him completely bewildered, Gilles would like Mad Mundo to help him understand how the law is applied in Europe.
