Do you want to stay?

Stay?

I'm asking because of your wife

The germans are attacking France

I saw some belgians They were on the run

Are we gonna have to depart?

Why?

To go where?

Missy come here

The little one

I don't know

Is it true the germans cut off the hands of children?

Don't talk nonsense

Just the same you should ask

I'll check the town hall

Won't you put a shirt on?

You see? Everybody's leaving

If there's still room

Don't worry

Mister mayor Make sure I can leave

Come with me

You too

For payment...

You can pay in the train if they should ask you

They say we can pay in the train

The mayor said so

Don't rush We have time

- There's still 8 seats in first class, mayor - Fine

No sir, you're going to the rear with the men

Why?

The passenger carriages are reserved for women, children and the elderly

It's the law

Look at my wife I can't leave her like that

Why? Are you a doctor?

No

Then what?

Ms Lavoyeur what are you doing?

I'm leaving

You have to remain seated

You already had serious complications during your first delivery

***

- Isn't it? - Yes, i agree completely

Be reasonable, good man

And the luggage?

We'll find a place easily

The last carriage

is still empty

We're full!

No need to rush

There's no locomotive yet

Pierre, I don't see a thing anymore

It fell underneath

What's going on?

I lost my glasses

One glass is broken

You look funny

They don't allow anyone anymore

Luckily we're the last ones

Up front, there's 30 people in each carriage

Where's your train going?

It's turning back

How fortunate So am I

In 1914, they shot deserters

This is 1940

I gave myself permission

Did you find anyone to watch your house?

My father preferred staying

If mother was alive they'd both have come along

Where's your wife?

Up front

You reckon I have time to go see her?

Sure, there's still no locomotive

Don't go via the platform They'll resent that

- Please keep my place - Don't worry

If you see the loc come back

Poor guy

Why are you not with the women?

I don't like women

Daddy look! We're in first class

Be silent

Alright?

Yes, and you?

I'm in the last carriage

You need anything?

If you could find water for our little one

I've got a thermos

I don't want to impose

I have to run

Take care!

Move quickly

Go on

Who goes there?

Nobody boards here This is no station

We board here

In the station, the army threw us out

We're fully booked

We're gonna be invaded

Get back

If we don't stand up We're gonna get trampled

Shame on you!

Shame? Never heard of

Is there room?

We're full

Wait! I'll open up

What a glorious nation

Come on Get in

That's my spot

Pardon me

He's thirsty

My wife expects a baby

Are we going yet?

Yes we're off chief

Don't know where But we're going

Hello, this is Charly

I've got another extra train Get ready in 20

Thanks but I don't smoke

Quickly

Light the lamp

We're not gonna stop inside are we?

One night, I was stuck like this in a cellar

the entire night

bombs falling everywhere

Next day, nothing was left standing

No more houses No more people

Nothing

Don't you have a funnier story?

It's gonna be a fun trip

Stay here

There's military convoys underway

At night?

We'll be here for the night

Good

It appears we're staying here for the night

The entire night?

Alright?

I got no water left

Gimme

I'm thirsty

Keep it

I was worried

I had to wait for my turn

I broke the bottle I'll look for another one

Not to worry, young man

I got plenty reserve bottles for a whole platoon

Are you not too uncomfortable?

No, it's fine

We did good in leaving

I'm more at ease

Good for you

Are there people from your village in your waggon?

Yes it's fine

Wait

Apparantly They're bombarding stations

I'm getting comfy, if I have to die

I'd rather die in style

Take that

And you?

We got all we need

I have to go

See you later

She's gone

They couldn't stop harassing her

I filled it

She's got an accent

yes from the Alsace

Beware the eyes and ears of the enemy watching

- Leave her alone - What's mister Family Man saying?

He says we should leave her For him

Right! She's a trophy

Let's take a walk

Leave her alone!

Come and get some!

Drop it!

That's not funny at all

Shame on you

If you really want to fight Go north

They need people over there

He's right

If we're running away means we're scared

If we're scared We're not fighting

You were right in not fighting He'd slit you open

He's right He's crazy

They're priority people Belgians

We'll get the others at Poitiers

She can't pull everything

I'll check if the train is ready

And yet it's so nice outside

They've split the train in two this morning

And your wife

Are you crazy? We're going too fast

You'll find her in the next station

Sure

This is becoming a calvary

What's it now?

We've got the orders

From whom?

The President of the Republic

Just great!

6 hours!

What's going on?

- The bridge is mined - We can't stay there

I can't let anyone through

I take the convoy to Moulins

- Don't take the main route - I'll go as I was told

It wasn't easy

I can't let you pass

- I can't stay here - Then go back from where you came

In any case The tracks are closed

Let us through or I'll break your face

Stop it!

Stop or I shoot!

I'm shot!

I got a solution

If you don't have the right to stay and you don't have the right to let us through

We take over the train

Is that even legal?

Not bad

We can do it

It is legal

Civilians roll up your sleeves

You don't know how this works

Teach us

Not that one

Blow the whistle

For my report: What's this train?

The extra train from Sedan

You often drive trains?

No, but I didn't really drive

It's funny

You look kinda timid

I am

You don't look it today

Due to the circumstances

I've never travelled like this

***

Really?

I'm not the only one We've all changed

We make love tonight If you like

What are you so sad about?

I did the other one

I thought there wouldn't be another one

There will always be

Men are so dumb

The germans have technicians

Wait for them

Is there room in your train?

For you, yes my precious

If you could give a hand with the luggage

Roll up yer sleeves

Strong men lead the way

Your wife must be in front

She's more comfortable than we

It's good like that

pregnant

She needs more care

Are you very much in love?

We're married

No, I take it ...

She'll a heart of mine

Shit! We're bombarded

I lost my shoes

They're pretty

They're from London

- From where? - London

I had them made

You went there often?

Whenever I wanted

Are you rich?

No Not me

- Who's turn is it to deal? - Your turn

Last night, Big Julie saw us She winked at me

- What did you do? - Same as she did

Have you ever been on holiday?

Yes Before

Me never

Your turn

We musn't take anything

Ownership is a god given right

For owners yes But I have nothing

Different story

We have the right to eat, don't we?

Right, I'm not talking about food

One day in an empty house I found a baby in its crib

What did you do? You brought it up?

No, it was dead

You're really not a happy chappy

I'm not talking about the food but the other stuff...

For my, net worth is more important than food

What if the train departs without us?

What would that change?

Before, I was always scared of breaking these

He's old

I know a china man who sells these

- Which chinese man? - From my village

You're thinking about your wife

She was with my daughter

A little girl, seven years old

- Do you have family? - Yes

Do you think about them?

I'd rather not

Never seen these before

But I have

He'll be coming straight for us before long

He will see we are a passenger convoy

As if he cares...

Don't say that I've known decent germans

I've never known decent soldiers

Not in germany, not here Nowhere

Give the signal Let everyone assemble

When I left the house I didn't foresee meeting something like you

SomeTHING ?

Funny thing this war

This is some good food...

- People are often like that, when bored - Bored?

It's not boredom It's the war

The war

Why are you not a soldier?

Bats are not soldiers

I would have been in uniform 2

What's Uniform 2?

Not as bad as Uniform 1

He's Uniform 1 for sure

Is that so?

More embarrassing

Not certain

When I was little I found it annoying

Not being near-sighted but wearing glasses

In school, they called me Foureyes

It wasn't easy wih the girls

But then you get used to it...

or almost

- No - Why?

'Cause I'm way past doing it for fun Isn't it, Gorgeous?

Moulins. The passengers of the extra train from Sedan...

...Troyes, Aubch?es... need to visit the reception area at track 20

Where they will receive more information about their family, parents and friends

You have to go

Go on I'll wait

We'll ask in the next station

Could I borrow a screw driver?

Funny how you don't know who the father is

There were 3 of them

It's difficult He doesn't resemble any of them

What are you doing later?

Will you marry?

I Don't know I Don't care

She's cute

It's sunday

- How do you know? - I counted

Do you think they're acting normally?

Nothing is normal since it began

- Funny, we're not from the same country... - What country are you from?

Which country are you from?

I'm german

How are you?

I was in a refugee camp in Belgium

We were right away liberated

Why didn't you wait for the germans?

I'm german but jewish

Where I'm from some people don't like us very much

They want to eradicate us

What do you mean "eradicate" ?

With cold, with famine, with...

fear

In camps

Why in camps? What have you done?

Nothing

And people say nothing?

They won't let us

They're also scared

That's mind boggling

Are you sure of this?

FRENCHIES! Your soldiers are disorganized. We will control France within 1 week.

-Stop running. Stay calm. Return home. You won't be harmed.

You were right I must have been dreaming

Look...

Even the crossing guards have split

I got in up north because in the south it was getting impossible

And now...

I'm going south again 'cause things are impossible up north

with Hitler

Hitler's not any worse than this here kingdom

or Switzerland...

With their golden snowflakes

Would you like to hold him? I'm so sleepy

Hello Poitiers

I've got an extra train He'll be with you in 10 minutes

I hope

No, it's the last one

Some 300 meters of track have been destroyed

at the Guer?jonction

It's no life always running away

Facists grow everywhere

Can we talk about something else?

In 1918 I thought it was the last one

That was really something

One day people will be so scared They don't want anymore war

It won't be for tomorrow

What does it matter We won't be there anymore

Is it not, Verdin?

When I look at you I feel like an animal

When you don't look at me also

- She was a big girl - They died fooling around

That's the way to go

Is he yours?

No

His mother is dead

Do you know his name?

Don't you feel anything?

I do

Calm down

Are we going again?

Yes, don't get upset

Call Marche, we'll have repair men before nightfall

What does he know?

He was a newspaper editor

He liked freedom

all the time travelling

Liberty was his passion

One day, they took him away

You speak like he's already dead

These past 2 years, we haven't heard from him

Nobody saw him

After that

they arrested my mother

She was jewish

After that my father

Because he was married to my mother

And after that, me

Tell me

What are we gonna do when the train reaches its destination?

Alphonse...

Look the other way

Not a pretty sight

Close your eyes and it goes away

I read somewhere

We can't be helped on earth

And then?

I love you You wouldn't understand

Go on

I like it when you sleep

You don't seem frightened anymore

I love you

I wish you good luck

You will need it as much as I

Goodbye

Where do you want to go?

Anywhere. Let's go

Too bad. It was alright here

Coast is clear

In a minute, I'm going to the town hall

For your wife?

Before that, let's go over there

To drink some coffee and eat some croissants

What's your real name?

Mme Maroiyeur

with a "y"

Where is she?

In the hospital of Villiers

Further up the Loire

There's a bus service

I'll go with you

- You don't want me to? - I do

It seems the germans are already on the Loire

I don't want to stay alone

Not yet anyway

Where do you want me to put you?

I work nights I go to bed at 6

If you like, I give you my room for the time being

- Is the hospital far? - No, but it opens at 8

I warn you, it's a small room same price as the other rooms

Keep things tidy

You can pay later, I have faith in you

Is she ill?

I'm happy you found your wife

It's them I recogonize them

It's a boy

- You're happy - Yes

I'm going up, my little girl is there too

No, stay I'll be back

See you later

My first pretty french girl

I didn't see Anna for 3 years

Since the winter of 1940 life was back to normal

Except for the germans and the difficult rationing

Spring and autumn 1941 went by without special events

I have little memory of those months

There was never any mention of Anna

I'd swear she knew

She felt something

I don't know if she realized I almost had never seen her again

Anyway, it had no bearing on her health

or on her fears

She was never passionate or jealous

She was mostly afraid of the germans

an instinctive fear

...physical

Their footsteps in the street

their music

their notices on the walls bringing only bad news

They came in the winter of 43

I remember it well

It was snowing

I thank you for coming over from so far at short notice

It's only a formality

Do you know this lady?

I can tell her face doesn't ring a bell

Maybe you forgot?

That's what I thought It must be a misunderstanding

In any case, there's been some kind of ID-theft

Unpleasant isn't it?

You were in La Rochelle in may 1940 I believe

This person too

Anna Kuepfer

Does this name ring a bell?

Not the name, not the face I thought so

I'm happy for you

I have my doubts about her

Not about you, on the other hand

Married with 2 children

The quiet life at Funoir

Quite a job, how curious radio repair man

Very well

Please note it would have been benificial to have known you

To spend a difficult time in the company of someone impeccable

Gotta grab that with both hands

Sorry to have bothered you for nothing

This is silly...

Now you are here... What's the harm...

Bri just the sameng her in

I can tell it says as little to you as the photo

You may leave Mr Maroiyeur

So you do know Anna Kuepfer Mr Maroiyeur

Did she come back?

Maybe you came back together

Now everything becomes clear

You join the Resistance you train together

A quiet little family life

A wife and kids, so virtuous A german mistress

"open" for London

You're in a bad way Mr Barbi.
