All language subtitles for La chambre des merveilles 2023

Kevin!

Kevin!

Hey, Martineau.
- What's wrong with you, you little bastard?

Idiot! I'm going to kill you!

THE ROOM OF WONDERS

Hi!

Here, look.

Hi.
- Good morning.

- Yeah, check number 4 before saying there's a bug.

- Yeah, that was my feeling.
- OK.

- That one?
- That's all good.

- OK.

- I think you could date the forklift driver.

- No, are you serious? He could be my son.

- Then you can breastfeed him.

- Yes?
- Good morning, are you Louis Carrez’s mother?

- Yes?
- This is Da Vinci College.

We've had a little problem with Louis.
He's got into a fight with a friend.

- All right.
- Can you come now?

- Yes of course, I'm on my way.

- Thelma. Lunchtime already?

- Yes, sorry, I had a call
from the school about my son.

- Yeah, well, I've got the first
yield estimates, we're below 0.5%.

Do you have any idea of the
net losses with this kind of yield?

Because if you want to do export,
learning English isn't going to be enough.

- OK, I'm sorry, I have to get my son.

- Did you notify HR you're taking the afternoon off?

- Yes! Arsehole.

What got into you?
Martineau's three heads taller than you are.

Are you OK? Does it hurt?
- No, I'm OK.

- Sure?
- Yeah.

- I have to go back to work.

My English class is tonight.
You're staying at Etienne's to do your homework.

And then you ask him to look at that.
- Yeah.

Maybe he'll disinfect it. OK? You sure?
- Yes.

- Everything's all right?
- Yes.

- You're not hiding anything from me?
- No.

- OK, take care of yourself.
See you tonight, Loulou.

- Stop calling me that.

Not again! Shoes right in the middle of the floor!
Louis, can't you put your shoes away?

Stuff everywhere!
Look at this!

Lunch, all this crap!

OK.

Watch out!
- I'm being careful.

Tell me if I'm going too fast. I can slow down.

Turn off the screen! Turn off the screen!
I'm coming!

Coming!

Coming, Coming.

Yes? Oh hello!
- Hi Etienne. Louis here?

Yes, he's here. Finishing his maths, I think.

- Yeah, I'm done.
- You're done.

- It's done.
- Well, that's it, it's done.

- Didn't we say no video games in the evening?

- No, that's the neighbour's TV.
It's hell. The guy's stone deaf.

- And the sodas? Are they from the neighbour too?
- Those are mine.

Because I’m doing my thesis–thank you–

and I need caffeine to—you know what I mean.

- Haven't you needed caffeine for five years?

- Five years?
- You know a thesis can't be done in five minutes.

- For sure—yeah—

Anyway, we disinfected all
the little scratches with great skill.

And we're good—

You know that vodka has the same
disinfecting strength as mercurochrome.

It's crazy .
- The pharmacy was closed.

- OK, I brought you 16 Flanbys
and three cartons of milk.

- That's great because I was suffering
a calcium and caramel deficiency.

- Sorry, that's all I could get.

Come on, Loulou, let's go!
- Stop calling me that!

Hey, can we have instant noodles?
- No!

- Why no?
- Because no! Come on!

Come on, Loulou!

- Stop calling me that!
- Hey, Bye Loulou! Bye Loulou.

- Bye Etienne.
- Don't you start! Thanks!

Things to do before the end of the world
(because it might happen faster than expected)

Slap Kevin Martineau.
Apologise to Amara

Can't you knock?
- Well excuse me!

Would you like a TV dinner?

You coming?
- OK.

- I got lost there, find me the webpage.

- You use the trackball and click.
The button on the left.

- Oh yes. Yes.

Did you have any grades today?
- A 12 in maths.

- 12? Well, that's not so great.

- Actually, considering
the average was 14, it's not that bad.

And the test was really hard. So yeah, it's not bad.

- I'm working this weekend. OK?
- OK.

- - Really working.

What happens when
two parallel lines are cut by a transversal?

- Can't we have breakfast in peace here?

- Go on!
- No.

- We only did it yesterday!
- So what?

- You won't get to be a pilot with that attitude.

- Too bad.
- No! Not too bad! Come on!

Louis!

Come on hurry up!

Honestly!

Louis, wait for me, d'you hear?
Otherwise there's no point in me coming with you.

Pick up your skateboard.

What time's your football match?

- It rained all night, so it's going to be muddy.

- No, look, it's fine, it's nice out there.

- But I've got a lot of homework.
Then I have to stay in because—

- Stop it, Louis! Do we have to go through
all that again? We've already discussed it.

First of all, sport is important for you. Apart
from that I've already paid a year up front.

- But skateboarding's a sport.
- No, skateboarding is not a sport.

- Of course it is!
Plus, there are loads of competitions.

And, can you sign me the authorization for this year?

- Just wait, we'll see.
Excuse me, it's work. I'm sorry.

Even at the weekend.

Allo?
- Allo Thelma.

- Yes, Nicolas?

- You left without finishing
the inventory sheet for Monday.

- Yes, but I explained that.
With a temporary worker missing—

- I'm tired of your excuses.
I'm going to need that sheet—

- No, ask Christophe, plus I—

- Listen, Christophe is not my concern.

You're responsible for the flow,
and you have the salary that goes with it.

Louis!

Louis!

Louis, can you hear me?
Call for help! get help, quick!

Mme Carrez?

I'm Doctor Bongramp.

Head of the Pediatric Intensive Care Department.

The brain MRI and electroencephalogram
we performed show intracerebral haematomas.

Your son is sedated and therefore in an induced coma.

His status is critical.

Good afternoon Mme Carrez
- Good afternoon.

- My name is Nadège,
I'm the head nurse in charge of Louis.

And that clown there is Mehdi.

- Hello, young man.

I'm going to be taking care of you, all right?

Don't worry, I'm a lot nicer than the witch over there.

She's nice really, but we shouldn't
say that in front of her. Come on.

- His vital signs are stable.

- So he’s in great shape!

Right, pressure.

So what did you do?
Something crazy with your skateboard?

I love skateboarding too, but I prefer surfing.

He has nice muscles for his age.

- He plays football but he hates it.

- Well I don't like football either.
So that makes two of us.

- Your Mum's here, Louis.

But since it's late, she won't be able to stay.
She'll come back tomorrow morning.

- Can't I stay here and sleep with him?

- He's stable.
Nothing will happen tonight.

First, you have to rest.
- But I was told I could stay and sleep with him.

- Mme Carrez, he's not alone.
We'll look after him from now on, OK?

- Go on, try to sleep.
- That way you'll feel great tomorrow.

- We'll be here.
- We'll be here.

- Here, let me give you your bag.

Maybe his Dad will come tomorrow, will he?

- No.

- You're going to need help, Mme Carrez.

You're at the start of a marathon.

- Can I kiss him?
- Of course.

- I love you my darling.

Don't worry, I'll be back in the morning, OK?

I love you very much.

- Get some rest.
- See you tomorrow. Rest.

Neuropaediatrics

Your coffee.
- Ah thank you.

To dip in your coffee.

- No, I'm not hungry, thank you.
- But you have to eat. Go on.

Room 412.

- Room 405.

Morning Camille.
- Morning Fatima.

- We've been here two months.
My daughter had an accident on her scooter.

I tried to ban it, but, well, at that age—

- Mine was a skateboard.

Three months later.

Obviously Etienne sends you a hug.

Apart from that, I also spoke to your head teacher.

He said it doesn't matter if you repeat a year.
Anyway, you were born at the end of the year.

- Good morning, Thelma. Morning, little Louis.
- Good morning.

Well. What's this?

- I think the drip's empty so I turned off the
monitor. because it kept beeping every two minutes.

- I can see that. It's perfect.
I'll be handing you my coat soon.

It smells like my grandmother's basboussa.

You've been using orange blossom oil again.

When I was little, I could eat—
eight in a row, I know, you've told me that.

I'm going to end up eating his hands
if this continues. That's how it'll end.

Mme Carrez, do you want to take a quick coffee break?
We're going to give him a wash.

- All right. I'll go.

I'll leave you among men.

- Oh, Grandma!

- See you soon.
- See you soon.

- Are you okay?
- Yeah, very good.

- I made you some lentils.
- Again? OK then.

To be done before the end of the world
(because it might happen sooner than you think)

Slap Kevin Martineau.

Of course, Kevin Martineau.

apologise to Amara.

Find out who my father is and meet him at least once.

Ah, hello Amara. It's nice of you to come.
Well, come in, come in.

- No, no thanks, I have to go.
- Oh.

I couldn't bring him the maths
lessons but I'll do that next week.

- All right. OK, that's fine.
- OK, goodbye.

- Just one thing—Kevin Martineau?
Is he the boy Louis slapped before the accident?

- Yes.
- Do you know why?

- When he passes us in the corridors
he insults us, he says, “Lower your eyes, clown”.

All right.

OK, goodbye, see you next week.
- And—

You know, Louis wants to say sorry to you.
- Did he speak?

- No, but he wrote a list.

I found his notebook—anyway,
he wrote "Apologise to Amara".

So I don't know what happened but—

You know how sometimes
we do something and then regret it.

- OK. Well, goodbye. See you next week.
- Bye.

Apologise to Amara

I wasn't looking for it, I just found it.

I didn't know you could draw so well.

This wolf is wonderful.

I didn't read everything.

All right then, yes,
I did read everything.

That's because I miss you.

I'd have liked so much to share all this with you.
I didn't know about any of it.

Why didn't you ever tell me about it?

Is it my fault?

Is it because I'm always
talking to you about your grades?

Because I keep on asking you about school?

But you know me, you know—

I'm a mother.

So I always worry.

In any case, you did well
to slap that Kevin Martineau.

He's an idiot.
Amara told me.

She's adorable, she comes
every week to bring you your homework.

In my opinion, she's already forgiven you.

Are you crying?

Louis, can you hear me?

Can you hear me?

No, I can't see any trace of the incident.

If it had been a real tear, we'd have
seen a variation in the constants.

- Yes, but this was when I spoke
to him about his girlfriend, Amara.

This is what he wrote in his notebook:
"Apologise to Amara".

And it was when I told him that,
that he—there was this little tear.

- That's not a constant, it's an emotion.

- I think he's in love with her so he reacted.

- Look, I know it's disturbing Mme Carrez, but—

we see things sometimes, but they're not necessarily
what we think they are, from a medical point of view.

But I do encourage you to
let us know if you see any sign.

If it happens again, we'll do a PET scan.

Sorry.

There's an emergency, I have to go.

But I know it's a sign.

Isn't that right, Loulou?

You sent me a sign there.

The doctors, obviously, they say it's—

That maybe it's just something
that —doesn't mean anything, all that stuff.

But even so, it came at
the exact moment I told him—

about Amara, don't you see?

- Do you really think, given all that's
going on in there, he's going to wake up?

- I don't know, Mum, I don't know.
- Of course.

- But I've spent six months kicking myself
for letting him go after that bloody phonecall.

Same as I do every day. Every morning
in the hospital, then in the warehouse.

I massage him, I talk to him.

I've seen all the specialists and after all that—

After all that—nothing.

Nothing's happening, Mum.
- All right.

Fine, but that's nonsense, Thelma.

- I don't know, I tell myself—

Maybe this notebook is him sending me a sign.

- A sign?

Anyway, what's on that list?

- Wishes, kids' stuff.
- What sort?

- All sorts.
- That's fine, how are you going to do all that?

On your salary? Really.
That one's forbidden. So—

And that one? I mean, you hate water.

Well.

“To meet my father”.

Didn't I tell you that would
happen one day? Didn't I tell you?

Didn't you keep a phone number
or an email address? Even so—

he's the father of your son!

- Listen, Mum. I don't know, do you have
any other comments to advance the research?

What do you want? To criticise my failures?
My inadequacies? What's your point here?

- Well maybe he's dead, there you are!
- Thanks!

- In 12 years, he hasn't wanted
to see his son once, eh? Typical bloke.

- We're doing just fine without him.
We don't need him.

- You, yes, Louis, no!

- Excuse me, but you're not
in a great position to lecture me.

- Excuse me, but you
always knew who your father was.

- Obviously! You've dumped so much shit on him.

- All I said was that if you
knock up a 17 year old kid,

you should take some—
- Knock up? Seriously?

- Haven't you got an uglier expression?

- All right.

What's the next wish?

- To have his skateboard signed by KGI.

- Who's KGI?
- I don't know. Some skater, I guess.

- I've just found a security company.

In Thailand.

Seek and ye shall find, eh?

I have to get my hair cut. I'm late.

- Do you think I'm crazy?
- Now?

Yes.

But I like it.

Excuse me.

Do you know Louis Carrez?
- Little Louis?

- Yeah.
- Yeah. Are you his mother?

- Yes, I'm his Mum.

- My condolences.

- No, no, condolences are for
when someone dies. Louis isn't dead.

- Sorry.

- Do you know him well?

- Your son was like our mascot. Know what I mean?

- Really?
- Yeah, yeah, maybe you—

- Go on, show her the—you want to see the—
- We made a video for a competition.

- Seriously good.
- Did you really?

- Oh yeah, yeah.

It's Thomas. In fact, I filmed him.
I made a little montage for a competition.

- Isn't it terribly dangerous?
- No.

Haven't you ever seen him skating?
- No, I didn't like it, sorry.

- Ah, my bad.

- He wanted to get his skateboard
signed by—KGI. I looked online—

but I couldn't find a skater called KGI.

- He's not a skater.
- KGI isn't a skater.

- Really?
- Wait, look.

He's a guy who draws manga.
Look there, it's KGI, Kurosa Gatanabe Itune.

- Yes, that’s his wolf!

- Yeah, it's the story of a
little boy who turns into a wolf.

- Do you know where we can find him?

- That's a bit complicated actually,
he's a recluse, no one has ever seen him.

- It's not—the guy lives in Japan.
- Yeah, finding him is quite complicated, I think.

- Can I keep this?
- Yeah, definitely, keep it.

Yes Mum, you tried to call me, what's up?

Everything's fine, they changed
the gastric tube yesterday.

Why did they change the tube?

- Well I don’t know. Didn't they tell you?

- I don't know, you left me 14 messages.

- To find out if you arrived safely. Where are you?

- I don't know where I am, everything's
in Japanese. Nobody speaks English, it's—

I don't even know how I'm going to find KGI.

- Ah, KGI, that's it.

Will you be back on Thursday? Because
I have my bridge tournament on Thursday.

- No, listen, stop stressing me out here.
I don't even know where to start.

You'll make it, don't worry.
- It's going to cost me a lot, too.

- I'm hanging up, arigato.
- Yes, go on, I'll call you back.

Hello.

May Louis wake up.

The succession of layers comprising
the primitive soil appeared with greater clarity.

Geological science . . .

Jules Verne's still very boring. No?

I'll tell you another story.

A story about—

the first time I saw your mum.

I couldn't believe—I'd made
such a—tiny little thing. So—perfect.

With little nails, almost manicured.

You wonder if there aren't beauticians inside,

so that you arrive—so perfect.

You'll wake up.

You'll come back to us, darling. I'm sure of it.

Allo?
- Allo, this is M Cruz on the phone.

Ah yes, hello M Cruz.

Yes, I'm sorry to call you—

but I can see credit card
withdrawals at Tokyo airport.

There are also abnormal
transactions on your account.

You're not in Asia by any chance?
- Oh no, not at all, I'm at work.

If you can hear noise, it's because I'm having a—

I'm having a party here
for a colleague who's leaving.

But you can block it, can't you?
I'm insured for that.

- No, Mme Carrez, you must complete a specific form.

Would you like me to send it by email?

That, Loulou, is the signature of KGI.

No one can get one.
Because no one knows who he is.

But I know.
I went to Japan.

I met him, and I have an exclusive.

KGI is a girl.

But I promised her you'd keep it a secret.

I can tell you, that'll impress your friends.

Won't you show me a little sign?

To draw a tag on the wall of the 49th Infantry

Are you serious?
- Why?

You're completely off your head,
it's a military building.

I don't understand how you
got Louis involved in this stupidity.

- it was his idea.
- It really was Louis’ idea.

- Okay, I have to go, guys.
I've already been busted twice.

- Are you leaving us alone?
- I've been busted twice this year.

My parents will send me to a boarding school.
- That wouldn't be a bad thing.

Check, Madame!

- Yeah, go on.
- Good luck.

- I'll stay with you, Madame, don't worry.

- Yes?
- I'm staying.

- Yes, I understood that.

Now! Come on!

It's for you, Louis, look.

Guys, guys, they're coming!
- OK.

- Are you OK?

Wow, that’s great!

Guys, guys...
- What?

We have to go.
Come on! Come on!

I have to sign. Hold on.

Hey, you!

Good morning Madame, please come with me?
- Yes.

You said ten minutes.

- Yes, he'll be here soon, he's in court.
- At five in the morning?

- Well yes, it's a very complicated case.

- The lawyer's here.
- Show him in.

- Thanks.

Good evening.
- Good morning.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

OK, I'm not going to waste your time.

My client is a respectable mother.
She has no criminal record.

No background. I don't understand
why you're holding her for a little graffiti.

- Four square metres.
- Four square metres.

A flagrant offence. Wilful damage to
State property. Military property at that.

So I'm not going to teach you your job,

but that's punishable with a fine of
30,000 euros and two years' imprisonment.

- Article 322-1 of the Penal Code, thank you.

Aggravated by deliberately concealing
her face and failing to give up her accomplices.

- Do you have children, Commissioner?

- No.

- All right.

Why did my client do this?
Why did she do that?

And I wonder—I wonder how.

I wonder how she did that. Yes.

How an inexperienced and completely harmless woman

manages to tag the wall of
a military building in the city centre.

Do you know how long it takes
to tag four square metres?

- Yes, that’s enough!
- Yes, yes.

I haven't finished yet.

I wonder how she managed to bypass security.

To get past the patrols, the cameras.
Do you see the flaw, Commissioner?

So yes, my client committed
a serious offence. Unacceptable! Unacceptable!

- Yes.
- Unacceptable!

- Oh yes.
- Let's charge my client.

You know what? Let's charge her.
Indict her, but indict her publicly, Monsieur!

Thus every citizen will be able to see
to what extent the State fails to protect them!

We'll notify the press—
- OK, fine, it's OK, I understand.

We'll make it a Class 5 misdemeanour.
A 1,500-euro fine.

- That seems fair to me.

Good.
- Anything else to add?

- Can I pay in instalments?

You're a genius. you know!

- I'm not a lawyer.
You know I didn't pass my law exams.

What I'm doing is a public law
thesis, nothing to do with this.

- But you should.
- Yeah, but you know the risk I'm taking.

The risk of having—
- Your law exams cancelled.

- Exactly, which isn't a problem,
since I'm not a lawyer. Yeah, OK, I get it.

OK, show me your tag now.
- Here, look.

Wow! You're the one who made that?
- Yes, it's Louis' signature.

His signature?
- Yeah.

- Do you know what a signature is?
- Yeah.

- Well.
- Why? Do you think I'm that old?

- No.
No, not at all, really.

Is this Louis' notebook?
- Yeah.

- OK. May I?
- Yes.

- Bloody hell, he's talented.

This kid is too much.

Louis is really a special kid.

Every kid his age would have wanted to meet
a footballer, or a rapper, or I don’t know what.

- Well anyway, that one's done..

- Damn, you still have a lot to do.
- Yeah. I don't know if I'll manage everything.

- I can help you.
I'm not exactly busy just now.

What about your thesis?

- My thesis—my thesis—let's say I won't
do it because—I'm a lawyer now anyway.

- Thanks.
- It's a pleasure.

otherwise I wouldn't be calling you.

And... How do you say it— We lost contact.

There. Would've been better if you'd called.

I'm so ashamed.

- Stop feeling guilty.
It takes two to make a kid, Thelma.

He's the one who left you all alone with his son.

- No no. No, he was married.

We were very much in love but
I knew he'd never leave his wife.

So we saw each other one last time
to say goodbye, and I got pregnant.

- That's beautiful.
- No, it's bad. Incredibly selfish.

I met your father in Biarritz.
He owned a restaurant on the beach.

He asked me to dance a tango.
He didn't know how to dance.

I loved your father. It was a story of true love.

I should have told you about him. I don't know.

I thought we could manage without him.

I beg your forgiveness.

And all your skater friends want you to come back.

Do you know which is your
front foot on your skateboard?

- No?
- Wait.

Because you're their champion.
You're their mascot.

- Hey, you're a natural.
- I m proud of you, Papou.

Is this for slowing down?
- Helmet first.

I wanted to try the Balinese.

You fasten it.
I'll give you the gloves, anyway.

- OK.
- It'll be better.

- All right. Great.

- Are you sure about this?

- I'll try.
- All right, go for it.

- I can't believe you're capable of doing that.
How do you manage not to be afraid?

- OK.

- There!
- Well done!

- It's actually really dangerous.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

And that’s what Louis wanted to do?

- He loved it.
- Yes.

You were right, skateboarding
is a sport, Loulou. It's really impressive.

Is this OK? Am I doing it right?
- Yeah, yeah.

- Are you sure?
- OK that's good.

Are you ready?
- Yeah.

OK, fine, here we go.

- Maybe we should come with you. Here.

- At least I feel like I did it.
- Yes, that counts too, Madame.

But it's for Louis.
- For Louis.

I just took a single picture.
I fell off straight away.

Your friends are fantastic.

They were lovely with me.

And I know you'd have succeeded.

To skate the Balinese.

Happy Birthday my love.
- What are you doing?

Holi is a celebration, not a funeral.

- First of all, do you know Holi?
Have you ever been to India?

- No, but Amara explained it all to me.

- Did she? And what is it?
- Whatever it is, this isn't it.

- So what is it then?
- Well, for example, there's this.

Red is for love.

- You're a complete idiot,
you've covered me in shit!

- Stop whispering.
Don't hold back.

- But look!
- Look, look what's going to happen.

Orange is for optimism, you need it.
- No, stop! Stop!

- Look, you're getting it all over me!
- Let it out!

- And what's green for?
Is it for nonsense?

- No, it's for harmony.
And this is for vitality.

Come on!
- Here, I'll give you some vitality.

You need it.

Oh no, not the glasses!

To celebrate Holi on my birthday.

- No! This is not okay!
Where do you think you are?

- It's his birthday.
- Allo?

Oh dear, what a killjoy!
- Wait, I can't hear. Allo?

- Calm down, it's his birthday,
we can have a little fun.

- You think you're at a fun fair?

- Well, look, it's dojng my daughter some good.
- Tidy up this room!

I'll bring you a cleaning kit.
- No!

- Allo, yes, who is it?

- It's Matthew.

- Matthew?
- Yes.

The Manchester United fan club gave me your number.

- I need to see you, it's very important.

Allo?

Allo, can you hear me?
- I hear you

I'm not sure I understand, but I hear you.

Yes, I need to see you, I really need to see you soon.

OK, so no news for 13 years
and now it's urgent, is that right?

- Yes, I'm sorry.
It's a bit complicated, but I'll explain.

- I'm going to be in Edinburgh for three days.

- In Edinburgh? Can I come?

- Thursday, 1 pm.

- There's a pub in the city centre, The Waverley.

- Waverley.

Yes, I'll be there.

Oh dear, son, look, you're covered in it.
- Stop.

- I'm really sorry, Fatima, but—

You shouldn't scold him,
it's not his fault. It's mine.

- Stop!
- It's only me.

- Yes, it doesn't matter, it's not important.

That's it.
Lilas has passed stage two.

Bongramp says her encephalogram
is really encouraging.

I think she's coming back.

- That's amazing!
- Fantastic. Just fantastic!

What do you prefer? Do you prefer out or in?

- In. But he doesn't deserve this.

He's the one who should feel guilty.

He's the one who left you all alone with his son.

Here, the PIN is 2834.

- No, it's fine, I don't need that. I'll manage.

- How are you going to manage?

You don't have your new credit card
and there's nothing left in your account.

It makes me happy.

- Thanks Mum.

OK, what about the shoes,
do you think they’re too much?

- Well, those aren't ideal for Scotland, are they?

- Fine.

Find who my father is, and meet him at leaast once.
Swim with whales

Good morning.
- Hola.

- You—do you speak French?

Hey, Mum!

Mum, Mum!

Look!

Allo?
- Allo, M Cruz on the phone.

- Hello M Cruz.

I'm calling because we suspect
fraudulent transactions on your credit card.

There are suspicious transactions abroad.

- No, that's fine, I'm in Edinburgh.

- These are not in Edinburgh,
they're in Portugal. Faro to be precise.

- In Portugal?
- Yes.

Do you want me to put a block on it?

- Oh no, no, no.
Whatever you do, you don't block it.

Are you sure?
They may spend even more.

- Yes, let them buy.

Goodbye Monsieur Cruz.
- Bye Madame.

It's hard to breathe.
I'm suffocating.

I'm afraid in the water.

- No one changed David's drip?
And Lilas’ wash?

- Thelma, this is the fifth message I've left you.

Anyway, what are you doing in Portugal?

And where is Matthew?

Can I remind you that
you have a child in a coma in room 405.

You don't have time! You don't have time!
Get a job at the Post Office, they have plenty of time!

Did you bring Louis' spare towel?

Towel? No, I didn't bring a towel. No.

- I told you Louis needs a towel every day—

- Stop! He doesn't have one, he doesn't have one!
There's no need to yell.

That might work with some, but not with me.

My mother spent her life yelling at me,
I can tell you I'm not sensitive to it.

We're waiting for you in 420!

I've been working in the service
for 40 years, and I've seen dozens like you!

- That's funny, because
40 years ago, I gave birth here.

- Well, 40 years ago, I was in neo-natal.
- Thelma was born on September 1st.

Were you there then?
- I started in July.

- No—

Crazy.

- I'm sorry, it's not my day.
I failed my driving test this morning.

- It's rare to get it first time.
- This is my seventh.

- Really, even so.

And I live in the countryside,
so how do I manage without a car?

- You know what—I'll bring my car tomorrow
so you can practise in the hospital car park. OK?

- You've made my day.
- Good. I'm off.

Failing her driving test seven times—
I'm a bit worried about my car.

It's beautiful.

I'd forgotten how sweet life could be.

- I don't understand, but I'm sure we agree.

Lord Jesus, we have faith in you.

May the gifts of the Holy Spirit grow in Louis' heart.

And may God, rich in mercy, bless you.

In the name of the Father,
the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

- What's—
- Everything's fine, don't worry

Everything's fine.
- But what's going on?

The chaplain was in the ward, so I said to myself—

- What are you doing? Dammit, I thought he was dead!

Don't you realise what you're doing?

- Surely a little prayer couldn't hurt, could it?

Excuse me. Everything's fine.

- You're telling me that?
You, who never took us to mass?

You, who never—
- Thelma, please! Thelma!

Excuse us. Thank you, Monsieur—Father.
Thank you so much.

- You're out of your mind.
- That's enough! Stop!

- All the best.
- Thanks.

Portugal? Can you explain that to me?
I thought Matthew was in Edinburgh.

You didn't go there?

- Not in front of Louis.

- The guy has a right to know his son is in a coma.

You never—you never told him he had a son?

I can't believe it.

You've lied to everyone for thirteen years?

And most of all, to Louis.
- You lecturing me about that is a bit rich!

Didn't it ever cross your mind that if
I'd had a father, maybe Louis would have one?

- You're expecting a miracle, Thelma.
And miracles don't happen.

- Yes they do!

- Matthew has to see his son before it's too late.
Or else you'll blame yourself your whole life.

Fine. Let's go!

See the little dot over there? That's me.

It was so cold, you have no idea.

Is it cold where you are, Loulou?

Look.

Look, Loulou.

It's as if they're dancing for us.

It's a gift.

They're telling us, don’t worry.

There's nothing that can stop
the infinite love of a mother and her son.

Swim with whales

I'm sorry.

You should go home.

- I can't take it any more.

Do you think I'm fighting for nothing?
- No.

It's not over.

- What would you do in my place?

- In your place, I'd do exactly the same.

- Do you think it helps him?
- it helps him.

As long as you don't mess up the entire ward.

- Right.

I'm going now, because I haven't slept in 36 hours.

I'll see you the day after tomorrow. Yeah?

Can you see me?
- Yeah, it's okay, Thelma.

- OK, show it to Louis.
- Yeah.

Wait. Can you see it there?

- Yeah. It's for you, Loulou, just for you.

I'm really sorry.

No! Etienne!
- Yes excuse me.

It's Mehdi, sorry.
- It's for Louis, it's not for you!

To touch the math teacher's breasts

Isn't it strange at 12
to have the idea of—no?

- Yeah—
- Did you give him the idea?

- No. I've never had one myself.

- Seriously?
- I swear.

- So how do you eat them?
Do you eat all of it ?

- Just the thing at the top.

Eat hallucinogenic mushrooms

- This isn't good!
- No, it's not.

- Are you sure these things work?

- It isn't having any effect on me.

You know, when it comes to drugs,
we can't ever be really sure.

He told me it worked and I trust him.

The guy seemed to know something about it.
- Can you feel anything?

♪ A winter morning ♪
♪ Woken up by a draught ♪

♪ You're here, smiling at me ♪
♪ Like mother nature to her child ♪

♪ Your eyes spoke to me ♪
♪ You told me “come to my side” ♪

♪ I followed ♪
♪ Hand in hand we flew away ♪

♪ Oh yes, it’s magical ♪
♪ We always eat with music ♪

♪ Pursued by our destiny ♪
♪ Our never-ending story ♪

♪ I imagine a blueberry feast ♪
♪ Apricots, wine, my eyes sparkle ♪

♪ It's hard to believe, I'm not dreaming ♪
♪ This is all good for you and me ♪

May I?
- Yes.

- I think we have to ask ourselves
about continuing Louis' care.

- What do you mean?

- The latest tests show
a significant loss of sensitivity,

and the PET scan isn't—

- Isn't what?

- Louis has been in a vegetative state
for more than six months, Mme Carrez.

I believe we must avoid
relentless therapeutic treatment.

Think about Louis.
About his comfort.

He fought well.

And, by the way, so did you.

- Do you want to unplug him?

- It's not for me to make that decision.

But I'm asking you to think about it.
Seriously.

My name is Louis. I was born on 10/11/2008.
I weigh 3 kg 200. I measure 51 cm. My room number is 219

When you were born, they took me back to the room.

I held you in my arms.

I didn't dare to move in case I woke you up.

Your whole body was tight against me.

I felt how light your breathing was. Tiny breaths.

I looked at you for hours.

But you don't have to be afraid for me.
You don't need to worry.

I'm strong, too.

If it's too hard for you, you have the right to leave.

I love you.

I've changed, believe me.
- Me too.

- No.

So where are we going?
- I live on an island isolated from the world.

By helicopter?

Wow, that was fantastic!

I speak very little French, you know.

So you're going to be a dad?
- Yes.

It's funny, you told me you didn't want children,
that you were afraid of being a father.

- I was wrong.

- Here we are!

Write a letter to the person I'll be in ten years

Dear Thelma. As you read this letter,
you're ten years older than you are today.

I have good news: you stopped being afraid.

You learned to make the most of every moment.

You sued your idiot boss and you won.

Not much, but enough
to start your own small business.

You opened a restaurant
that uses unsold supermarket produce.

For people who have a life like yours.

Winding, full of failures and scars.

Mothers Keeping Watch

Unsold food from the South West.
- Well that’s great!

Hey, have you had the clothes delivery?

- Everything arrived, I put it all there.
There's a little bit of everything.

- OK, I'll sort it out.

It's free and every day, hundreds
of people queue to come to your place for lunch.

Hi Favia.
- There you are.

Are you all right?
- I'm fine.

Oh yes—you live with Etienne.
He actually asked you.

He was very persistent.

He's ten years younger than you, he can
be annoying, but you love him, and he loves you.

And he's there every morning.

You bought Nadège a little car
and now she drives like a madwoman.

Move slowly. Change gear.

No! First, you stop!

Forward!

She lives with your mother
as a roommate, like students.

They're worse than teenagers, they argue
over nothing, they steal each other's clothes.

But deep down, they support each other.

In room 405, you learned that
you can't accomplish anything alone.

Miracles take a lot of people.

Life is like an encephalogram,
when it's straight, it's dead.

Hospital
12 missed calls

Thelma wait, I need to talk to you!

You're awake.

Oh, Loulou.

- Who are you?

Do you think he'll remember me one day?

- He's woken up, Mme Carrez.

- He's alive, my darling.
My darling, it's a miracle.

Thank you Doctor.

Look, you did it all.

- Madame Carrez, you just have to give him time now.

Louis, I'm going to leave you with your Mum, okay?

Look, you have a little button.
If you press it, I'll come back.

Whenever you need something, just press it, OK?

Go on, I'll leave you to get to know each other.

Don't worry.

If you don't remember, we're going
to create lots of new memories. All right?

Louis decided to study medicine.

He became a neurologist, like Doctor Bongramp.

Matthew was very angry with you
for hiding Louis' existence from him.

But then, as soon as he
saw him, all his anger dissipated.

He even asked him to become his son's godfather.

We're told that youthful love doesn't last.

But he and Amara never left each other.

Life is there, Thelma,
in front of you. In front of Louis.

Make the most of it. Enjoy.

Tell Mum I love her.
