MOUTH FULL OF WATER

Mademoiselle Fifine!

Fifin!

Fifin!

Mademoiselle Fifine!

Fifin?

Fifin?

Fifin!

Fifin is no more!

Did she commit suicide because of love?

It started a month ago...

...when my grandmother died.

And when Miguel, her young notary, said he would not open the will...

...until her other two grandchildren arrive.

They were my cousins ​​- Jean-Paul and Seraphine...

...of whom we have heard nothing since that family quarrel in 1949.

Miguel was looking for them.

29 days have passed.

Hello? Hello, Cesar?

Good afternoon, Monsieur Miguel! Yes...

Yes...

Mademoiselle Vilenat is in her bedroom, I believe.

Yes, I understand.

Hey... What is this?

This is our new maid.

I'll be with you soon.

Yes?

Connect!

- Hello, Miguel! - Milena?

I found them!

They were on a trip.

Yes, I have everything ready.

Wait a bit.

Here you go!

Jean-Paul Brett-Juval...

Born in Washington on March 31, 1930, he lived in Paris for eleven years...

...and so on... Lives at 144, Rue de Berry.

Fashion photographer, works for the agency "Omnia Mode".

Seraphine Brett-Juval, Jean-Paul's sister, was born in Washington on May 2, 1939...

...lived in the United States until her mother's death in 1956.

At first I lived in Paris, with my brother...

...now lives at 46, rue Jacob with Monsieur Robert Godard...

...fashion photographer, former...

...former... former partner.

Thank you, Miguel! I thought we'd never find them.

Your cousin is now in Biarritz...

...at the Hotel du Palais.

I spoke to him.

He will be able to come on Friday.

He's coming on Friday... Do you know what time?

It doesn't matter though. Call me later.

Thank you very much! Goodbye, Miguel!

So, you will address me as "Monsieur Cesar".

Very well, Monsieur Cesar. And I will be on first-name terms with you...

If you continue to be on first-name terms with me, I will fire you immediately.

- I don't think so. - Why is that?

Because I see the way you look at me!

If you are very...

...very docile...

I might change my mind.

I'm still a virgin.

- What? Are you kidding? - No, Monsieur Cesar. I'm a virgin.

Hmm...

Well, well...

Well, okay... Rose will show you your room, and when you unpack...

...you can go and meet the owner.

And what are you going to do with all this money?

- I'll buy myself a ganeria. - What?

Bull farm.

Oh yeah! I forgot you're an "aficionado".

- "Aficionada"... - Yes...

Let's talk seriously, Robert.

It would be better to postpone our trip to Cadaqués.

That is?

You will take me to Perpignan...

- And either you wait there for three days... - Excellent!

...or you can go straight to Cadaqués.

And I'll join you later.

Find yourself some girl there while you wait for me.

What about Jean-Paul?

He will come himself from Biarritz.

We will meet in Perpignan and he will take me to the castle.

Are you ashamed to show yourself in the castle with me?

I don't want to come with my friend.

Cousin Milena...

...for sure...

...one of those old prudes you can't stand.

As you wish... but if I find a beautiful girl...

I advise you to do this!

I remember our agreements...

We are both free!

Good morning, mademoiselle! I'll take care of the luggage.

Thank you!

Seraphin?

- Nice to meet you! - So am I, Milena!

- Maybe we should kiss? - Yes.

And your French is very good!

I have been living in France for three years now.

Prudence will show you to your room.

Didn't your brother come with you?

No, no! I left Paris with...

...with a friend...

We spent the night in Perpignan.

My brother was supposed to meet me at the hotel, but he never showed up.

He will be here soon.

What's happened?

Tell me, is Mademoiselle Brett-Juval here?

- Who's asking? - I...

Tell her it's from her brother...

- Ah, so you are Monsieur Jean-Paul... - No, I...

Jean-Paul?

Jean-Paul?

Well, yes...

Milena...

I wouldn't even recognize you, Jean-Paul.

Me too.

The last time we saw each other, I must not have been like this.

I see...

Your sister arrived an hour ago. She didn't wait for you in Prepignan.

Yes... I was detained.

I would like to see her.

She's in her room, taking a bath, I guess.

Cesar will show you your room and I will take you to hers.

Hello!

- Is this yours? - This is the cook's granddaughter.

She spends her holidays here.

Let me know when you're ready and we'll sit down to dinner.

Cesar... Would you show Jean-Paul his room?

This was your father's room when he was a young man.

Yes, I see you have enough space here...

It was also often called... the Borgia room.

Funny!

It's a family joke. You see, Monsieur Jean-Paul...

Someone must have made a joke and the name stuck.

You have reassured me, sir.

Cesar...

- Cesar. - Yes Cesar. Excuse me!

You may go.

- Well, what about the suitcases? - No, leave them here.

I'm fine...

... okay... the bathroom is at that end, door on the right.

Fine!

- You don't need me anymore, monsieur? - No.

- Oh, yes! Where is my sister's room? - She's in the Chinese room.

- In Chinese? - Yes, you'll understand when you see it.

Third door to the right of... Well, you understand?

Thank you... Yes.

By the way... Dinner is at 8 o'clock.

If Monsieur Miguel is not late.

I'll be on time. Thank you! Thank you very much!

Yes... Come in.

Robert... What are you doing here?

Well... As you can see, I'm here!

What happened? Didn't I tell you not to come?

First of all, you can’t forbid me anything.

Secondly, after you left, your brother called.

- So what? - He won't be able to come by Monday.

They all sailed to Spain.

Great!

I came to warn you and make sure you pass this on to your cousin.

Of course I will! And now - go!

- It's difficult now. - What do you mean, "difficult"?

- Well... - You did something wrong, right?

In a sense, yes.

When I arrived, the maid thought I was Jean-Paul.

- Jean-Paul? - Yes.

And what's worse, your cousin made the same mistake.

- It can't be! - But it is!

You explained it to her.

No, I didn't explain! She still thinks that I'm Jean-Paul.

Are you crazy? Why did you do this?

I don't know. To have fun, I guess.

- You liked my cousin, didn't you? - Your cousin?

Don't pretend you don't understand, Robert! I know you well!

Will it be like last time?

What about our agreements?

Listen, Robert... Dinner will be served in five minutes.

Great! I'm starving.

- You're kidding, right? - Me? Of course not!

If I have lunch here, there won't be a tragedy, right?

That's right... And before lunch I'll explain everything to Milena.

- Let me do it myself in the evening. - No way, Robert!

I'll tell her everything!

Right now!

Don't do this!

You'll see!

I tried to call to say I'd be late...

...but failed.

So what? It wasn't worth coming!

Seraphin... Meet Monsieur Miguel Baranne.

Miguel... My cousin Serafin.

- Good evening, madam! - Good evening!

Jean-Paul... Miguel Barann.

- Good evening, sir! - Good evening!

- Cesar, you may serve. - Okay, madam!

Jean-Paul... On my right hand!

Serafin... Miguel.

Robert...

Robert!

My name is Jean-Paul.

I don't see anything funny about this!

What's wrong with you?

- I'm afraid. - What are you afraid of?

The Chinese Room scares me.

You're not a child anymore!

And yet...

- I'm worried. - Are you worried?

Well, yes! All these lies... It will end badly!

Of course not. When Jean-Paul arrives, we'll all have a good laugh.

Not me!

- Why didn't you tell me then? - I don't know.

- It's because of this notary, isn't it? - Are you crazy!

And in general, this is also implied by our agreements!

I will help you if you help me. But now I want to sleep!

- I want to stay with you, Robert. - No way!

- If you don't want to, I'll tell you everything! - Go ahead!

- How unkind you are! - I am not!

And you also said that you love me.

Did I say that?

Okay. In that case, I won't go with you to Cadaqués!

Oh, these girls!

Come in!

- Good morning, Monsieur Jean-Paul! - Good morning, Cesar!

- Did you sleep well, Monsieur Jean-Paul? - Very well!

The weather seems to be quite good.

The weather is always fine in Auvared, Monsieur Jean-Paul.

But you don't seem to like it here, Cesar?

I would say that, overall...

...with all due respect...

...I'm bored to death here.

- How long have you been here? - Ten years.

Entertainment must be meager.

I'm only interested in one thing...

...girls!

- Yes! - But there's nothing wrong with that?

Vice versa!

Of course, they are not so easy to find here.

- I have one trick... - A trick?

Well...

Lady Henrietta allowed me to select the staff as I saw fit.

For example, I...

...I hire maids. I don't know if you understand?

- And very good, Cesar! - Well, I'm choosing one of the locals...

...the one I liked, of course.

AND...

- ...hop! - Hop?

No... What if they don't want to?

I fire them.

- What if they fall in love? - They don't, Monsieur Jean-Paul.

They end up marrying local boys. Maintaining the castle is a plus for the bride.

What I like is the turnover.

And if they don’t leave on their own, I fire them.

Congratulations, Cesar! You are a real womanizer!

By the way... the last one you hired...

...doesn't look bad at all.

Yes, but it won't be easy to get.

No?

She's only been here three days...

And I didn't have time to... But...

I really have a feeling it won't be easy.

Come on, Cesar! The power of a seducer is in his self-confidence!

Of course... of course...

I'll go on the attack right now. Without delay!

- Good luck, Cesar! - Thank you, Monsieur Jean-Paul!

May I remind Monsieur Jean-Paul...

...that he has a meeting at the library at 10 o'clock?

Damn it!

Prudence, you don't seem to have a job.

I await your instructions, Monsieur Cesar.

Go collect the trays or something.

As you say.

Come in!

Who is this?

I'm picking up the breakfast tray.

On the side table, Cesar.

Thank you, Cesar!

First of all, I have to thank Miguel for being here with us!

You may not know this, but notaries usually read wills in their office.

It's the least I could do for you.

As notary to Lady Henrietta, who died on June 16th, 1969...

... I gathered you here, in this castle...

...because he was chosen to carry out her will.

I'll read what she decided.

"This is my will.

I, Henrietta Amelie Jeanne Juval...

...the widow of Monsieur John Brett...

- ...who died on June 18, 1917"... - What is it?

Pens! I forgot about the pens.

When Lady Henrietta met with the Board of Directors...

You can go, Cesar.

...I had to bring pens.

Here you go...

...and I thought, why shouldn't I...

...don't come in...

...and not put your pens on the table.

Well, there you go, madam... Is everything alright?

Yes, leave us, please.

..."made the following decision...

I call myself the full heirs of all joint and personal property...

...divided into three parts, his three grandchildren...

...Jean-Paul Eric Pierre Brett-Juval...

...Serafin Alexandru Brett-Juval...

...Mylene Françoise Brett-Juval...

...provided that they pass on the next part of the inheritance"...

Monsieur Cesar!

- What do you want? - It's not nice to eavesdrop!

Mind your own business! I have a right to know what's going on.

I don't eavesdrop, but I still know everything!

..."dictated and signed by my own hand...

...in my right mind and sober memory, in my castle Auvared...

...in 1957, on the second day of November."

Signed: Henrietta Brett-Juval.

As follows from what I read...

...with the exception of the inheritance that goes to Casano, Levier and Lonu...

...and taking into account other objects mentioned in the will...

...the total amount of the will is about six million francs...

...and taking into account Lady Henrietta's wishes...

...to ensure that the Cardona family continues to enjoy the Cedar House...

...in Sainte-Marguerite, it also includes five acres of adjacent land.

As follows from what I read...

...Mrs. Henrietta bequeathed all her property...

...three grandchildren...

...Seraphine, Jean-Paul and Milena.

It is difficult for me to describe the value of these objects in a few words.

However, it is my duty...

...to tell you that the real estate...

...very small.

- At least it brings in income. - Quite a good one.

Quite good, but over the last six years the profits have been invested...

...in the purchase of new equipment and the creation of reserve funds.

So, it doesn't bring in any money?

In the long term, your shares may be sold off.

- And there is also a castle. - A castle?

Yes, the castle, which now belongs to you, your brother, and your cousin.

In fact, the only problem for you now is...

...there remains the payment of inheritance tax...

...and making a decision about the castle.

- Can it be sold? - It won't be easy.

And they won't give a high price.

I think Milena should decide...

...does she want to continue living here or not?

It's only been a month since the day when...

It's hard for me... it's hard for me to make a decision so quickly.

Certainly.

There is no reason for urgent haste. But the problem has been identified.

The decision must be made by Monday.

We'll have to go to the bank to look at the accounts.

And today is Saturday.

And tomorrow is election day.

- What? - Rugby, my dear!

Miguel is the coach of the rugby team.

He is preparing for the winter season. There is nothing more important to him.

You are unfair!

I could devote the whole day tomorrow to you, but I simply don’t see any need for it.

Are there bullfights here?

- Bullfights? - Yes, Fifin loves bulls!

There will be one tomorrow. And not too far.

I can take you there.

What about rugby, Miguel?

I like bulls too.

Today they have lunch fourteen minutes longer than yesterday.

- Do you keep track of your lunch time? - Always!

This shows that they are getting to know each other better.

Cesar is smart, you know...

He is smart!

Hey, Monsieur Cesar! Don't you dare!

I like you. I like you very much!

You can't do that, Monsieur Cesar!

Call me Cesar!

Monsieur Cesar, aren't you ashamed?

- Do you swim here? - Yes!

Although the water here is not clean.

This is the old water supply system of the village. Very complicated.

Tell me, Milena... Who is this Miguel?

Miguel?

Yes. Who is he?

Strange guy, isn't he?

Strange? Miguel...

- Is this a big mechanical clock? - Well, yes!

Does it lead to the roof?

No, this is the path to the tower.

- Do you want to go up to the roof? - Yes, I would love to!

Right this way... Come in!

- How did he get here? - Miguel?

When he returned from Indochina...

...his father bought him a practice in Perpignan...

...and our grandmother turned to him.

Did she ever talk about us?

Never.

Since that fight in 1942, the rest of the family has died for her.

Miguel and I... we were her children.

And she never thought about...

I thought.

So what?

So what?... Nothing.

And it's none of your business!

Why? We are cousins, aren't we?

Because it's not interesting at all.

One day, Miguel and I suddenly realized that we weren't happy together anymore. That's all.

Like this? One day... Suddenly...

Yes.

Like this!

One day.

Suddenly.

What happened, Milena? Are you unwell?

No, nothing...

Let's go back, Jean-Paul.

I need to respond to letters of condolence.

Help?

You can sign the addresses...

- Why do they call you Fifin? - Robert came up with that.

He thinks Seraphin is too angelic a name for me.

- Robert? - Yes, Robert Godard.

My brother's business partner.

Yes... I spoke to him on the phone when I called you.

Yes, it is him.

You haven't said what you think about Milena yet.

- I don't know her very well. - And yet... in five years...

She is a charming friend. But she is very withdrawn.

She is very beautiful!

It's funny that you never thought of her differently.

Differently?

Yes... If only I were a boy...

What are you doing here?

Fifin, what are you doing?

Enjoying the view.

So... you don't want me...

- No. - Why?

- It just happened that way. - What if I fire you?

- For what? - For not wanting to sleep with me.

- A pretty reason! - I don't like arrogant girls.

I'm not arrogant, but...

Yesterday I told you something important, Monsieur Cesar.

You were just kidding!

Swear!

- In what? - That you're a virgin!

Swear! You're kidding, right?

No, but...

It's my right - I don't want to.

You have no rights!

Well, you're not my type.

What do you mean?

- I can't say. - Speak!

- If I tell you, you'll get angry. - I swear I won't.

Well... you're as fat as a pillow...

And Johnny rode away so fast on his bike...

...that when he was driving through the village, people couldn't even see him.

So when nothing happens in the village...

...people say, "Look, here comes Johnny."

This is stupid!

- Do you think they suspect something? - Milena doesn’t suspect.

I think we shouldn't meet often, otherwise we'll make mistakes.

I sense you are beginning to worry about your dear cousin.

Yes, I have a plan.

I'll take care of her, and you'll take care of him. We agreed, didn't we?

What if I fall in love with him? He's cute!

More than! Tall, tanned and handsome.

Much better! He's almost as handsome as Luis Miguel Dominguin.

Who?

Please, Robert! This is not funny!

What is this?

There he goes again! What a strange habit!

- Don't you think it's strange? - Someone is playing the organ.

At midnight?

Come and see, Robert. Things like this give me the creeps.

Forgive my curiosity! I thought it was a ghost.

No, it's just me. I...

I like to play at night.

You play well...

Was it Bach, "Yes, desiring male joy"?

Yes. I find something in this cantata...

...heart-rending! That always fascinates me.

This... threatening joy.

Well...

Good night!

Good night!

Prudence!

Prudence!

Open the door!

I won't do anything.

- I just want to talk. - No!

Prudence!

Open the door or I'll break it down!

Prudence! Prudence?

Can you hear me, Prudence?

Monsieur Cesar!

Take my tray and give me yours!

You will go to Madame Seraphine. And I will go to Monsieur Jean-Paul.

Why do you need to go to Monsieur Jean-Paul?

Wouldn't you like to see Mademoiselle Fifine in bed?

Pretty Mademoiselle Fifin, huh?

Mind your own business!

Give me that tray!

Go!

Go! Go! Go!

Come in!

Good morning, Monsieur Robert!

What's happened?

Nothing, Monsieur Godard. I just wish you good morning.

Who told you?

Little bird.

Come here!

Put this tray down!

You're a sweet girl, Prudence. You won't say anything!

Well, I don't know.

It's just a joke.

It will only last for two days. This is just a joke!

How is that?

Listen...

I will buy your silence for whatever you want.

Very generous!

You are beautiful!

Very beautiful!

What will make you happy?

Don't know.

Don't be afraid. You can ask for whatever you want.

I'm not afraid.

Hello!

Miguel?

Did he leave yesterday?

I just played Indochina.

Yes. Everything is fine!

I'll go get dressed. See you soon!

You're going to act like a really good girl and wait until we can talk.

- When? - When? Well, I...

In your room, at midnight.

Take this as collateral.

Agreed? In the evening?

I will think.

Every day is a holiday here, isn't it?

I never thought so.

- For you, everything here is already ordinary, right? - Until I got to know you.

Inheritance is disappointing, isn't it?

Not all.

And you?

A little.

I don't want to be too rich...

But one day you will become rich...

I won't object.

I'm happy we met!

I've never had a girlfriend.

I'm the same as you, Fifin.

Is it okay if I call you that?

- Everything is fine! - You don't mind?

It's even nice.

Your sister is truly amazing.

- Really? What? - Well, how? Fifin!

Isn't she your sister?

Yes... Alas!

Alas?

Yes, she... she is a strange girl.

It seems like a joke, but in fact it is...

...very emotional, very vulnerable.

It's funny... I imagined you as some kind of old maid from the village.

- With glasses and a chignon? - Yes, something like that.

But in fact, I'm a much bigger country bumpkin than you are.

- You've seen it all, you've read it all... - Let's not exaggerate!

- You know everything... - Oh, come on...

Besides bulls!

I find her so frank, so direct...

It seems she has nothing to hide.

Every woman hides something.

Take Milena, who looks so mysterious...

I am sure that in essence it is transparent as glass.

Looks can be deceiving, Jean-Paul.

And Milena has her own problems.

Which?

I don't know... But there is something...

...very complex inside her.

Milena is a woman who waits.

Perhaps she is waiting for you.

What do you mean?

Oh, nothing!

I just feel it.

There is nothing between Milena and me. Or rather... there is nothing more.

Shouldn't we join the girls?

Cold.

Look how sad these two look!

It's not sad, it's stupid!

What a sweet greeting!

- You're right. - They're even poking us!

We should all switch to "you"! Don't you agree, Miguel?

Of course, Seraphin!

I would never dare to address Milena informally.

- Oh, please Jean-Paul... - Cousin, you are beautiful!

Cousin, you're overdoing it!

But don't you address each other as "you"?

We've known each other for five years now. And we don't want to change anything today.

Mademoiselle, how may I be of service?

In five minutes, Prudence. We need to get dressed.

- Monsieur Cesar says it's time. - Cesar! Cesar can wait.

I need to take a shower.

Miguel, did you call the factory?

No, I forgot. I'll do it while you're getting ready.

Agreed...

What about us, Monsieur Robert? Are we friends now?

Prudence, shh!

Your bullfight starts at four, remember?

Checkmate the queen.

"Milena! What a royally heavy name!

But at first I didn’t really like it.

However, in terms of color and essay - oh, a miracle!

A woman who needs to be carried away in one's arms...

...from this world, from the fire...

...who throws herself into your arms...

...obedient...

...trusting."

I don't want to be taken away from the world.

And from the fire?

Can I take the coffee away?

Well, Cesar, things aren't going the way you'd like them to?

Oh, this girl! She makes my mouth water!

And when I'm drooling, I definitely have to drink!

- She doesn't want to! - Even despite my advice?

- What are you talking about? - Poor Cesar is sighing for Prudence.

He sighs? Well, I know all about Cesar's sighs.

Cesar, I beg you to leave this young woman alone!

My dear Cesar, you need to change tactics.

- You need to slow down. - Slow down?

Tell her you love her.

- Get down on one knee... - On my knee?

Yes! And ask her to marry you.

- Ask her to marry me? - What if she agrees?

He will drag it out, but he will get everything he wants from her.

Jean-Paul, you are disgusting!

So it's all about falling in love.

It doesn't always turn out to be successful.

Jean-Paul is wrong. You shouldn't play with love.

- Now the banalities have begun! - What should I do next?

Make your presence known now, and go on the offensive in the evening!

He is right.

Night is forgotten during the day.

He is wrong.

The night remains between lovers.

Tonight I want to dance under the moon.

Under the moon? Wow!

Checkmate!

Prudence... I love you!

- Again? - No, Prudence!

I love you. I love you!

- What do you mean? - Platonically!

- You are not feeling well, Monsieur Cesar, are you? - Give me your hand, Prudence!

- I'm not a fool! - I'm asking for your hand...

I want to marry you!

- The heat has affected you! - I want to marry you!

- Why do I need this? - Do you like children?

- No! - That's good! Me too!

What a movie, honestly! Stop clowning around, Cesar!

Mademoiselle Milena, Monsieur Cesar says he wants to marry me.

Prudence, don't listen to this satyr!

- Don't forget about the whiskey for the evening. - Yes, yes, of course!

- I'm counting on you... - Yes, yes!

Stop being so funny! Stand up!

You both have the day off today. So if you want, you can go...

Thank you, mademoiselle!

Admit it to me... Are you up to something?

Me? Oh, no! No!

Be careful, Cesar! I'm watching you!

You can court me...

...but - properly.

I swear!

Well, why do they need whiskey?

Are they celebrating one month since grandma died?

Night...

...is forgotten during the day.

Music, please!

Don't shout! Here's some music for you.

And slower, please!

Shall we dance?

However, in terms of color and essay - oh, a miracle...

...The woman in the arms...

...need to be taken away...

...from the world...

...or from fire...

I like you.

...who throws herself into your arms...

...obedient...

...trusting.

Are you pushing me away?

I push you away.

I won't hurt you.

I know.

Are you leaving me?

I'm leaving you.

How is your love going?

You are my only love.

- You drank. - Yes, and a lot!

I like you even better this way.

Do you like him?

Yes. Very much!

- It's dangerous. - What's dangerous?

- Play with love... - That's not true.

- It's high time to hang myself... - Because of what?

Well... If only we knew.

- What about you? Making progress? - Not quite.

- I think she's afraid. - Afraid?

Yes.

Well, so do I.

- You? - Yes... me.

Pour her a drink.

Good idea!

Milena, you are my most beautiful cousin.

There are probably others.

No.

No more.

Until tomorrow morning...

As long as you want.

And you're leaving me again?

I'm quitting again...

She is one of those girls who slips through a man's fingers.

Ah, there you are! I knew you were hiding!

Be more polite, Monsieur Cesar! And leave me alone.

You be more kind. And if you are, I will not harm you.

Stop!

Stop right now!

For you I'm just another woman!

- The only one! - No! No!

Come to me! Come to me!

Leave me alone! Go to bed!

- Not today! Tomorrow! - Immediately!

I'll take you now!

Let me go! Leave me alone!

My dear, my little titmouse...

My little one!

Crap!

Cesar...

It looks like this is yours.

An addition to your collection.

My collection?

You did what you could.

You capitulated with honor.

With honor?

Cesar, do you know what William of Orange said?

"In undertaking, I have no need of hope; in persevering, I have no need of success."

- William of Orange? - William of Orange, yes!

- Nicknamed Silent. - Silent?

Well... in that case...

Do you know what William of Orange said?

No.

But I'm sure he was right.

Milena...

My love...

Jean-Paul...

Do you love me?

You speak without feeling...

So may I know?

I'll tell you tomorrow.

What's happened?

I love you!

Come in!

How did you sleep?

- I wasn't sleeping. - And yet, you woke up.

- I was pretending. - No way!

You slept like a baby.

I was dreaming, I couldn't sleep.

You really are a baby!

Nevertheless, you seduced me!

You think I seduced you...

- Yes, I think so. - Don't laugh, Miguel!

- I'm sad. - Sad?

Why?

Don't know...

- As if I'm dying. - Are you crazy!

She went crazy, and badly so!

- Are you leaving? - Yes.

It's Monday already. I have to go to work.

For your sake.

I need to make a couple of phone calls about the will.

I'll be back.

- Do you think this will end? - What?

Your love for me.

I'll tell you this evening.

- No, now! - No, later!

Later, when I get back.

Miguel?

Good morning, Milena!

How did you sleep?

There is something I must show you, Miguel!

I thought you had disappeared, Milena.

Yes.

As in melodramas, I am not who people take me for.

Who are you, Jean-Paul?

- I'm not Jean-Paul. - I already know.

Robert Godard.

So who are you, Robert Godard?

Nothing special. Jean-Paul's business partner.

We have been working together for five years now.

We founded a photo agency together.

Fifin told me about you... about her Robert.

In fact, you are Fifin's lover.

I was him.

Don't play with words.

I'm not playing. I was Fifin's lover.

Now, I'm yours... and even more... I love you!

What about her? Don't you love her?

I loved her. It's not the same.

Maybe...

Why did you break this whole comedy?

Because of you.

Because of me?

Love at first sight.

When I arrived on Saturday...

You called me Jean-Paul.

I agreed to stay by your side.

That's what you're saying now.

I don't believe you, Jean-Paul. It doesn't make sense.

It does. It's true!

You like to joke.

You wanted to have an affair, so you did.

I'm surprised that Fifin supported your game.

It wasn't a game.

Did she know?

It means "give and take".

In what sense?

If I said I was her lover, she wouldn't be able to do it with Miguel.

If he knew that I was not her brother, he would not dare.

Or she...

It's stupid, no matter how you look at it.

You knew I would find out.

It took a little time.

How did you find out?

Prudence...

Ah, I see...

Our dear Prudence!

And the first thing you did was tell Miguel!

Of course... Or don't you understand?

He opened the will in front of his false brother.

So what? Will he go to the police?

Are you crazy? Where is Jean-Paul?

He should be here soon.

On Saturday he said on the phone: "Monday morning."

And then everything will return to normal.

No.

You will stay with me.

I won't stay.

- What about Fifin? - She's young! She'll find someone!

- How would you know? - Fifine and I...

...like two friends who just slept together!

- She'll take care of Miguel. - Miguel is a womanizer.

He always had a lot of women.

He got what he wanted. And if that's all he wanted, she'll be unhappy!

I am absolutely convinced that she is in love with him.

Fifin!

Well, that's it, the end! This is really the last straw!

Let's go! Faster!

Fifin!

- Fifin! - Fifin!!!

Cesar... Have you seen Mademoiselle Fifine?

- Mademoiselle Fifine? - And you, Prudence?

Oh no, mademoiselle.

- What's going on? - Fifin disappeared.

Disappeared! Let's go! This is serious! She could kill herself!

- Kill yourself? - We need to find her before her brother arrives!

Brother? She has two?

Does she have another brother?

- It's my fault! - Well, no! And mine too!

If I told her I loved her...

- No time for talking! - It's all my fault!

No, it's Jean-Paul's fault! That is, Robert.

Well, do you see the result?

- Listen, Milena! - It's your fault!

If anything happens to her, I will not forgive you!

Let's look in the park.

You don't love me anymore?

I have more important things to do!

Fifin!

Fifin!

Mademoiselle Fifine!

Mademoiselle Fifine!

- Fifin! - Fifin?

Mademoiselle Fifine!

Fifin?

Fifin...

Fifin disappeared.

Perhaps she committed suicide...

We were playing, all four of us, a silly game of frivolous love.

We considered ourselves free.

The car is moving!

Good afternoon

Kind!

- Are you Monsieur Jean-Paul? - Yes.

Here is Monsieur Jean-Paul!

- Miguel Baranne. - Jean-Paul Bret-Juval.

- What's going on? - Fifin disappeared.

- My sister? - Here, right now!

- What are you doing here? - Fifin disappeared.

I've already been told. Explain everything!

Two years ago, she tried to commit suicide.

And what?

- She could repeat... - Why?

- I'll tell you later. - Are you Jean-Paul?

- Yes. - And I - Milena.

I regret that I have to meet you under such circumstances.

- Quite strange. - Your sister has disappeared.

- Have you looked everywhere? - Yes.

- You too, Cesar? - Only in the left basement.

- The pool! - Exactly!

I'll go!

- What can I do? - Nothing.

I'll go to the greenhouse.

- I'll go with you. - There's no point.

And yet, I will go!

- What's your name? - Florence.

- Do you know where Fifin is? - Yes.

- Do you know where Fifin is? - Yes!

So bring her.

Come on, bring it!

Tell her that her brother has arrived. Come on, quickly!

Fifin!

Your brother is here.

- Jean-Paul! - I'm here, Fifin...

I heard you hid.

Don't laugh at me, Jean-Paul!

I felt miserable.

You see... When you play a game...

...there is always a loser.

I lost everything!

Well, just laugh.

- Then you won't have to cry. - Mademoiselle Prudence...

...prepare a purple room for Monsieur Jean-Paul.

- Why are you ordering me? - Do it!

Oh, you fat man! You'll see!

Let's leave them. We are not needed here.

Milena!

Can I have one?

The first cigarette on your lips is the best.

No.

The best one is the one you smoke after making love.

Yes.

With you!

With you!

I will take you quietly, without any obstacles...

Why are you afraid? There is nothing to be afraid of...

Please don't be shy...

...because my mouth is watering at the sight of you.

This very night you will lie next to me.

I'm calm, I know, you said it all with your eyes.

And I no longer give birth to that fear in you.

You see...I only need your lips...
