Concept edit
A person asks the production to invite another person on the set to "make an important statement".[4]
The guest has no idea of the reason for his invitation, nor of the person who wishes to speak to him, before entering the set.[4]
At that moment, the two persons (the inviter and the guest) are separated by a "curtain" and can only see themselves through two television screens. This allows the guest to know the person who wanted to meet him.[4]
A discussion then starts between the two persons. The inviter exposes what he has to say, and this may concern a declaration of love, reunion of childhood friends, etc., and the guest answers to him.[4]
The guest, a few minutes later, decides whether or not he wants to meet in real life the person who invited him. If he refuses, the two people return without meeting; if he accepts, the curtain opens.[4]
