-Hey. -Hey!

-Hey. -Hey...

STAFF BATHROOM

Oh my god!

Jeanne had just been kicked out by her fiancé.

Yes?

It is me, Dad!

-Hey, Dad. -Hey. Are you OK?

Yeah, I'm fine.

-What is wrong? -Nothing, everything is fine.

-Did something happen? -No...

Come in.

Let me get you a herbal tea.

OK, thanks.

Thank you.

He said

I could stay

until I found someplace to live.

But I just packed my bags and left.

You did the right thing.

He was so... indifferent.

He just watched me pack...

He was so... cold.

How... How...

How can someone suddenly become so cold?

You don't know that...

No, he was. I swear.

I'm done.

What is the point of falling in love if this is how it ends?

Don't waste time blaming him for not loving you anymore,

it is not worth it.

Trust me.

Oh, Dad...

What am I going to do?

I have never loved someone like that before!

Here.

Drink that up.

You are all skin and bone! You need to eat something and sleep.

Why did you say I was skin and bone?

-Is there someone else here? -Yes.

Is she staying here?

Yes, she will be staying for a while.

OK.

Is it still OK if I stay?

Of course.

Lie down on the couch, I will get you a blanket.

OK.

If it is too much trouble, I can go...

Go? Where?

Here.

Try and get some rest.

Thanks, Dad. Good night.

Good night. I'm right next door.

As she tried to drift off to sleep, Jeanne thought about life,

and her father sleeping next door with someone.

Then, she thought about the man she loved, who no longer loved her.

And she felt like she was being flayed alive.

Mind your hands.

Thank you.

You will be OK.

It will all work out.

Like it did for you?

All women. Including you.

You are not that great, you know.

I never...

I never said I was. I didn't mean to...

You are not as pretty as my mom.

-Really? -Yeah.

That's good, though.

Why is it good?

Because...

I'm sorry.

Ignore me, I'm just being stupid!

It is OK.

I'm sorry...

Let me make some room.

You have nice clothes.

Really?

You can borrow them, if you like.

-Really? -Sure, help yourself.

You can borrow my stuff too.

Thanks.

Here you go.

I didn't want to, at first.

But he kept saying how much he loved me, and...

You believed him.

Yeah.

It is crazy...

I knew from the start.

I resisted as long as I could before I let myself succumb.

I knew it was going to end badly.

God, I'm such an idiot!

No, you were just in love.

I was a real pain in the ass at first.

He made the moves, not me.

And now all of a sudden... nothing.

No more us.

Oh god...

I can't believe I fell for it!

Don't say that.

I'm sure he cared about you too.

No, I mean...

I fell for Love.

Not him.

You feeling so bad is proof of

how happy you were with him.

I guess...

And now it is all over...

How long have you been seeing my dad?

Three months.

It is a new relationship.

Does it bother you?

What?

That... that you and I are the same age.

No, not really...

Where did you meet him?

During class.

Oh my god, really? You are a student?

Yeah but... I made the first move. I chased him

until he gave in.

He was so embarrassed at first.

You came on to him?

Yeah. He held me off for an entire semester!

-What? -I'm just picturing him.

It is funny.

-Are you feeling better? -Yeah.

The next day,

Jeanne thought she recognized

the man she loved on the street.

She will be all right, she is quiet now.

I gave her something to sleep.

Do you think I'm fat?

Come to bed, you vain creature.

Did you know that a woman

who hates her body is a terrible lay?

Is that so?

-No, not now. -Why not?

Jeanne might hear us.

I know.

But I will be quiet, I promise.

I want you so bad... I will come straight away.

At the university,

no one suspected Ariane was Gilles' mistress.

They were very discreet.

Do you remember the first time you looked at me?

No.

It was during philosophy class.

I remember it so clearly. You said:

"Philosophy is bound to life."

Do you remember?

You looked at me,

you stopped right in front of me...

I felt completely exposed, naked.

And that's when I fell in love with you.

Because he was so afraid of losing her,

Gilles told Ariane that no matter how many times

they might be unfaithful toward one another,

they would stay together.

I will be back soon, Dad.

See you tonight.

Ariane thought that one day, she might leave.

It was inevitable.

Oh Jeez...

-What? -I'm making a total mess of this.

I don't think those bits need to be any smaller!

Don't do it like that.

Hey!

-Hey, Dad. -Hey, sweetie.

We went grocery shopping.

-How are you? -Good, thanks.

Look, we even made dinner. See?

-Don't I get a kiss? -Let me say hi to my daughter first.

What is her problem?

I think she has a screw loose.

Are you serious?

Yes, I am.

-Didn't you realize before? -Yes, but it was too late.

Really? How come?

Because you love her?

Yes, I think I do.

Because she is crazy?

Because she has a screw loose?

Who knows?

I got you some dinner.

I'm not hungry.

Are you feeling OK?

Please, just... leave me alone.

I will put it in the oven in case you change your mind,

That evening, Gilles and his daughter went out together.

-Dad? -Yeah?

What does being faithful mean to you?

No one has ever found the answer.

It is just another expression.

Some people are faithful to things that are of no importance to others.

Like what, for example?

Memories, details.

Yeah...

There are more important things than being faithful physically.

Not for some people.

What about you?

-Me? -Yeah.

I don't know.

I don't know who or what I'm faithful to.

What are you going to do with your life?

Why are you asking me that?

Because I gave you this life.

Do you regret it?

No, not in the slightest.

And neither do you, I hope.

I honestly don't know, Dad...

But don't worry, I will be fine.

Don't worry about me.

Rats are so affectionate.

Really?

Oh yeah, they are totally loyal.

You can keep them in your pocket, no worries.

Though that's not always a good idea...

Oh, yeah?

Shit!

I hate it when people drop dirty plant water on passersby.

Goddamn bourgeoisie!

Where have you two been?

Nowhere, just out together.

I was so worried!

-I'm hungry. -Did you think we wouldn't come back?

-And leave you by yourself? -You hungry, Dad?

No. Shall we have a glass of something?

Let's break out a good bottle.

What are you celebrating?

Nothing in particular.

There, there...

Thank you.

I'm so sorry... both of you.

Sorry about what?

Don't worry about it, it is already forgotten.

I love you, both of you.

One night, Gilles went out

after he and Ariane started sniping at each other.

He ran into a girl from the university

at some point, and they took a walk around the square.

Of course, she knew he was a teacher at the university.

He was a specialist, after all.

And she was Ariane's age.

What did you say you did?

-Huh? -What did you do?

I showed him my pussy.

-For a piece of gum? -Yes!

-Wouldn't you? -No!

You mean you wouldn't show your...

Absolutely not!

You might change your mind...

-Your turn! -Hey!

No, it is your turn.

He thought about Ariane, however,

and that he should go home before the night was over.

But he was having a nice time with the girl,

and kept putting off his departure.

OK, thank you.

Ready?

I have to go.

Oh. I thought...

What is your name?

Yentel.

-I'm Gilles. -Yes, I know.

Shall I call you a cab?

No it is fine. I live just over there.

OK... bye. See you soon.

OK. See you Monday.

Fuck!

That night, Jeanne dreamed of Mateo,

her estranged fiancé.

Hello?

Hello?

Jeanne.

Jeanne, is that you?

Jeanne?

Ariane!

He called me.

-Who did? -Mateo.

He was too shy to say anything, but it was him.

-Are you sure? -Yes.

I recognized his breathing.

Oh.

What, you don't believe me?

Course I do. But why would he do that?

I don't know.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Mateo, is that you?

Hey, Mateo called Jeanne.

-Really? -Yes.

It is so weird. He calls, but when you answer the phone,

-there is no reply. -What do you mean?

I swear. He has already called twice.

I answered the phone this morning.

I heard him breathing,

he sounded out of breath.

And then, he hung up.

If he calls back, I will go see him.

Hey, I'm back.

Jeanne...

Go away. Leave me alone.

Jeanne, please, get down from there.

Go away! This is none of your business!

Don't throw your life away because some asshole dumped you.

Jeanne!

OK, fine. He was selfish. But everyone is selfish, sometimes.

You will hurt someone too one day, even if you don't mean to.

-Stop this! -I can't.

I can't live like this anymore.

I can't stand it!

-Get off me! -Jeanne, stop!

I know you are hurting, but the pain will go away,

I promise. OK?

No, you don't understand! I want him to see.

I want him to see how badly he hurt me.

Jeanne, Jeanne! Enough.

If you jump, you won't be here to see!

There are other ways.

Jeanne!

Shit...

It is OK.

Come on...

Come here.

Don't tell my dad.

Swear to me you won't tell him.

How can you ask me that?

After what I just saw.

I will never do it again, I swear.

I want you

to try and find some joy in life again.

-Got it? -Yes.

I want you to go out and meet people, friends, boys.

Do you hear me?

You will come out with me. Promise?

Yes.

Hey!

-How was your day, girls? -Fine. You?

Good.

What is this I hear about Mateo calling you?

It is nothing, Dad. It might not even be him.

What does your dad do?

He is into divorce.

Like an attorney?

No, he likes to get divorced. He is on his third one.

He enjoys it, I think. It keeps him busy.

Oh, right.

-She is not a real blonde. -Right.

She had gray hair today.

-Really? -No!

I thought it was a wig!

I'm not sure.

I don't think I ever saw her.

Sure you did! That one time.

-I don't think so. -You did!

At college?

-Yeah, you must have... -Oh crap...

My dad told me

my grandparents had a store in the Bouzareah district.

And when the war broke out,

someone wrote on the door: "Pack your bags or dig your grave."

So that's when my dad

and all his family left. They went from Algiers to Marseille.

They were Pieds-Noirs.

When you are capable of seeing

your enemy is in the right

and they are the true victim,

then your mindset is shifted.

You side with the enemy, fight by their side,

ready to die for them.

You can't say they were the enemy. They were not the enemy.

I know but...

It was not like Jihadism, you know.

At the time,

their lands were being stolen from them.

They were brave to fight, though.

That's one way of putting it. Brave,

or just plain clueless.

You had to fight for what you believed in.

I was against the war, young lady.

Ariane. I did not wish to kill anybody.

But I had to, like everybody else.

And even if I sympathized with the Algerian cause,

I could never betray my country.

Even though you knew your people had no right to be there?

Yes, even then.

Wait...

How many were there?

Over a million at the time.

Really?

None of the students, apart from Jeanne,

knew Ariane was dating Gilles.

A war that was not called a war.

That provoked the people...

...an undesired war.

Got a light?

I'm curious, though...

I mean, you hear the stories...

Here.

...Yeah.

Conscientious objectors.

Some people pretended to be mad.

Yeah, that's right.

Would you do that?

The worst part was...

Huh?

...when they came back.

They...

Nobody wanted to talk about them.

Are you trying to flirt with me?

It won't work, sorry.

There were no other testimonies...

No, that's right.

That guy was cute.

What guy?

Don't play dumb.

I saw him. When he gave you your coat...

The way his hands brushed the hair at your neck. You didn't resist.

You are crazy.

You are seeing things, making up wild fantasies.

I know what guys like that are like.

The silent type that undresses women with their eyes.

Be honest. You liked it.

I could see it in your eyes.

-Oh yeah? -Yes.

He was watching you, he was enthralled by you.

Really?

You know he was, women always notice things like that.

You seemed to be watching him too.

Maybe you are the one who likes him.

What you really want...

You want me to date others but only fuck you.

-Where are you going? -To my mom's.

-Did you tell her about us? -Yes.

Don't I get a kiss?

See you later.

So, what did she say?

My mom doesn't care.

Bye!

That day, Jeanne came across the cover of a porn magazine.

On it, she saw Ariane, naked.

Can't you sleep?

-How was it? -Good.

And no, I can't sleep.

-Are you alone? -It would seem so...

How are you?

Good.

What did you get up to?

Nothing much. I took a walk.

-Oh yeah? -Yeah.

I met some friends of mine.

What did you guys talk about?

The war.

Which war?

The next one.

Our teachers, everything going on in our lives.

OK...

I'm going to bed, I'm tired.

Yeah. Good night, daughter of mine.

Night, Dad.

See you tomorrow.

Jeanne decided not to say anything.

Not to Ariane or her father.

She decided to keep it to herself, and not tell a soul.

Oh my god! Oh yes!

NEVER AGAIN

I'm sorry, I fell asleep.

At your mom's place?

-Why aren't you asleep? -I was worried.

I'm sorry.

When I saw what time it was, I didn't want to call

and risk waking you up.

So, how is your mom?

Look... I didn't plan for it to happen.

Plan for what? I don't know what you mean.

No, stop it...

Do you really want to know?

Let me make myself perfectly clear.

I don't want to know, and I wish I didn't know.

If you want this relationship between us to last,

we have to stop hurting each other.

You are selfish. I knew that from the start.

I love you just as you are,

but I don't want to get hurt.

I'm not interested

in huge fights and passionate make-up sex.

I can't stand the concept.

I want to live in harmony with you.

Understand?

Yes, I understand.

You know, I didn't think it was truly possible,

a relationship like ours.

I feel free with you.

I have to work on some things but...

I feel free to be myself with you,

I feel good.

You know me so well, I can't hide anything from you.

And I don't want to.

You read me like a book.

You know things about me even I don't know.

Maybe because I love you.

Yes.

I shall have to be careful.

Yes, you shall.

Gilles went for a walk late at night down the street

where he used to frequent the prostitutes as a young man.

And then, he went to bed.

Without Ariane, who was out that night.

But their eternity continued.

And happiness ruled their world.

What are you doing?

I'm going to Mateo's place.

He is out today, working.

Maybe you should call first.

I did. He is not home, I swear.

I just want to grab my stuff.

I still have my key.

-Jeanne! -What?

I will go instead.

Why?

It is for the best.

Ariane is right, she better go.

Is that OK?

Yeah, sure. Here.

Write me a list of everything you want, OK?

-OK. -And give me the keys.

-OK? -Yes.

Here.

I put her books here,

and her clothes next to them.

Great.

You don't have to be so formal.

How is Jeanne?

How do you think?

I never wanted things to end like that.

She just left in the middle of the night...

So you never told her to leave?

I did, once... But not this time.

It was during a fight, another time.

You should never tell a woman to leave.

Because she will.

We are not wired the same.

-Are you dating anyone? -No.

No one special.

You can tell me, I won't say anything.

I haven't fallen in love, if that is what you want to know.

So what happened?

I'm partially to blame, I know.

But she was so goddamn possessive.

It ruined us.

She just feels things more.

Sure, if you want to put it like that.

You are her first great love.

Yeah.

Did you know that?

It scares me.

What does?

I don't feel mature enough to give her everything she wants.

She is so damn fragile.

Your loss.

You know, when you are young and vulnerable,

it shapes your whole life.

Life is long.

Yeah... it is.

-Bye. -Bye.

Ariane told Jeanne

that Mateo wasn't seeing anyone else,

and Jeanne's heart sighed in relief.

I bumped into Mateo in the street.

Really?

What happened?

Nothing, nothing happened.

I completely blanked him.

What was it like seeing him again?

I don't know.

My stomach felt twisted in knots.

And I had this huge lump in my throat.

I couldn't even talk.

It was too soon, I think.

I can't see him again. I can't.

And what did he say?

-Don't tell my dad. -OK.

Jeanne and Ariane were bound by their secrets.

Ariane hadn't told Gilles

that his daughter had tried to kill herself.

Hey, have either of you seen an envelope?

Huh?

Never mind, there it is.

Ariane made her choice.

OK. I'm going out again.

Jeanne was also keeping a secret about the dirty photos,

and she would never tell Gilles.

Hey, I have to show you something.

Hang on a sec...

Look.

Here.

Where did you get that?

I saw it in a kiosk on the street.

Here.

It was last year, I needed money.

I just took a few photos.

Hey, you don't have to worry.

Honest. I won't say a word...

I promise. I...

I won't say anything to my dad, I swear.

I can even delete it, if you like.

Yes, please.

There.

Look.

Deleted.

You know,

men cheat spontaneously and have no qualms about it.

But they can't stand the idea

of women doing the same.

So, the only thing to do

is do what they do and just not tell them.

-Really? Spontaneously? -Yeah.

I don't know. If I slept with another guy...

that would mean my relationship was over.

You never had sex just for the hell of it?

No.

-Come on... -OK, fine...

I did once, at the beginning, out of curiosity.

And?

It was terrible.

Well, not terrible... it was a bad idea.

You have to pick the right lovers. That's the key.

-The key, huh? -Yeah.

Do you ever get it wrong?

Less and less.

I have a guy friend at college,

he is 25 years old.

He has never loved anybody.

Not enough to commit to them, in any case.

He says that

when you fall in love,

you fall in love with everything,

you suddenly think life is this incredible thing.

Walking down the street, a song in your heart...

Basically, it makes you dumb.

Still, it is sad to never be in love.

Don't you think?

Perhaps he hasn't found a woman who is able to tame him.

What do you think?

I don't know.

He fucks all the girls though.

-Really? -Yeah.

Mateo and I did everything together,

so I always felt safe, comfortable

with him.

It is like we quickly slipped into

a nice, comfortable routine.

Yeah, comfortable.

That's why you have to be careful.

It is also a personality thing.

It might not be the guy you are with.

It could be us, we allow ourselves to slip.

That's what bothers me about being a couple.

I love it,

but I also hate it, I hate feeling so comfortable.

You lose the fire inside you.

No matter what you are doing,

all you want to do in the end

is go home and be with your partner.

Yeah. And...

that's nice and all but...

it gets a bit boring.

It makes you feel less alone.

Perhaps it is that solitude

that makes us think and act the way we do...

Yeah, exactly! Then pretty soon, you stop thinking entirely.

You just want to be happy.

It is like being snuggled up in a big, thick coat

so you don't catch cold.

Rather than being sad and alone...

It can be hard to be alone

when you want to be with someone,

but at least, your solitude makes you face the cold.

Yeah.

Jeanne!

-Hey! -Are you out for a walk?

You are losing your scarf.

Thanks. So what are you up to?

-Right now, you mean? -Yeah.

I'm going to meet a friend.

-Aren't you going to say hello? -Yeah, sorry.

Stéphane, quit it!

Jeanne bumped into her friend,

the lady's man she told Ariane about.

So shy, Jeannette.

And you are so pushy!

I'm sorry, I really got to go meet my friend.

Jeanne had never dared to sleep with him,

but now, she was about to, vicariously.

-Do you want to join us? -Sure.

Hi. How are you?

-Good, you? -Yeah, good.

This is Stéphane. Stéphane, Ariane.

Nice to meet you.

Do you mind if he joins us for lunch?

I told her about you,

and now, she keeps asking about you.

-Really? -Yeah.

-Here, good? -Great.

-So what do you do? -I'm a photographer.

Where was this?

In Tyrol.

-What's that? -A place, in Austria.

-I did a report there. -It is a place?

I thought it was a cake or something!

-Tyrol? -Yeah!

-It is a beautiful region. -What is that?

What is that?

-It is from a report I did. -Amazing...

That was taken in the US.

An environment piece.

The scenery there was incredible.

I like it.

You have a real knack for pictures.

Have you seen how hot the girls are here?

If I stay, I can't be held responsible

if I run off with a student.

-Are you married? -Yeah, I was.

Did you manage to stay faithful?

Not really.

I have to take a piss.

Oh my god...

OK, see you.

-You OK? -Yeah, fine.

You forgot your satchel!

Sorry.

Jeanne, devastated at seeing her father so hurt,

and feeling responsible for it,

tried to defend Ariane and help the two reconcile.

Did you know about this?

No! I didn't, I swear.

She didn't.

She couldn't have known.

Why not?

Because it was the first time.

How did you meet the guy?

I introduced them, Dad!

Can I speak to Ariane alone, please?

Sure.

I saw you...

so lost in sensual rapture with another man.

-I'm such a fool. -I'm sorry.

I'm so, so sorry!

I tried to have faith in us, more than anyone else did.

I'm not afraid of dying,

but I want to grow old with someone I love and who loves me.

And that's not you, anymore.

It didn't mean anything!

It was just sex.

It was just the one time. It won't happen again.

I believed you when you said

I could be with another, younger guy one day,

as long as I didn't tell you...

I believed you!

What difference does that make now?

I don't know.

You will just do it again, you are wired that way.

You are a Don Juan, Ariane.

You like to play with people, toy with their emotions.

Stop it! That's not true.

How can you be so cruel?

I know how you feel

when you fuck someone just for sex.

I know because for a long time, I was just like you.

I made a lot of good women suffer.

So, that's it? It is over?

You want me to leave?

I'm going to take a walk.

Hey...

-Come here. -Why did you do that?

We were so happy!

I don't know.

If your dad leaves me, I will kill myself!

Shh, don't say that!

Come here.

I think you better switch to coffee.

That's enough.

Yeah?

Ariane left the house.

And Jeanne and her father were alone.

Look, isn't it cute?

What are you up to?

I finished my work, and I'm heading home.

Look, it really suits me.

Yes, it does.

Show me, turn around.

You should get it.

Really?

I can always exchange it if I change my mind.

Thanks.

-I will see you at home. -OK.

You seem to be doing better.

Why? Was I sick?

Before she left,

Ariane told Gilles

that Jeanne tried to jump out the window.

Three months later,

the night of her birthday,

Jeanne asked her father to meet her at a restaurant

so they could have dinner together.

Hi, Dad.

Hello, darling.

Hey, Mateo.

-Hey. -How are you?

Good, yeah.

Hang on, I will be right back.

Will you tell him?

No, you tell him.

No, I want you to tell him.

OK, fine, I will.

So...

Happy birthday, darling.

Thank you.

So Jeanne and I... We are back together.

That's great news.

I realized something:

crazy people are always attracted to me.

They always find me.

The other day, there was this girl in the street.

She was just standing there on the sidewalk opposite,

watching me. I could see her watching me.

And suddenly, she crossed the street

and came rushing up to me.

She started talking to me, telling me all this stuff.

I didn't understand a word!

She kept talking to me,

even though I didn't really do anything.

Why did she pick me?

Probably because you didn't ignore her as people in the street

tend to do.

Yeah, maybe...

So...

This week,

-I'm moving back in with Mateo. -You need to collect your stuff.

Yeah.

Great. When do you want to come over?

Sometime next week,

I guess.

Don't you need your stuff now?

No, it is fine.

You still have some of my stuff, right?

Yeah, I might have kept a few things.

OK, darling.

So...

-Good night, Gilles. -Good night, Mateo.

-Bye, Dad. -Goodbye, my darling girl.

I will stop by soon.

Sure, no problem. Good night.

-Good night. -Ciao.
