Original subtitles

Good luck.

Thank you.

Lift your suitcase.

Wait.

Attention.

Stay close to me.

Follow my steps.

Aren't you cold?

What?

Can I stay with you?

No. That would be too dangerous for you.

Let's go.

We went through the sewers.

I knew you were in deep trouble, but this...

Come. I have something for you.

Come on, you need to hurry.

This is for you.

Take these jewels, just in case.

Come on! We need to hurry.

Hurry up.

It's Hugo.

Hello, Hugo.

My name is Mariana.

Don't worry.

Mariana will take care of you, you'll be fine here.

She knew you when you were very little.

Do what she tells you, be patient and be good.

And doesn't ask questions.

Mom loves you more than anything in the world.

Know!

Mom...

Come on, quickly!

One.

Go.

Hugo, come.

It's cold here.

Go.

One.

One.

To bed.

Come on, go to bed.

You will wash yourself tomorrow.

Even if you stink.

We can't make any noise, it's late.

We can't make any noise, it's late.

We are not alone here.

Now, go to sleep.

Mom!

Everything is fine.

Hugo.

I've changed my mind.

We cannot separate.

I found a shelter where we can be together.

Grab your things. Get ready quickly.

Wait for me, I'll be right back.

Hurry up.

Hello.

Did you sleep fully clothed?

You haven't eaten anything.

We don't have any chocolate here.

Get ready.

You will give me your dirty clothes.

Come on, I have a lot to do.

I'll leave you this to pee in.

I close the door.

Mariana!

I'm coming!

Close your eyes.

Think...

to the chair which is in the living room, near the window.

Move it

in the street, in front of the pharmacy.

No.

Not in the street.

It's too dangerous for the chair.

It's too dangerous for the chair.

Close your eyes.

Think of something.

As you wish.

A memory, if you want.

You can go wherever you want.

You can travel through time.

You can see the past

and also the future.

You are free.

You can have me come whenever you want.

That way, we can spend our whole lives together,

if we want.

Have you ever kissed?

Who?

A girl.

Quickly. The three of us imagine we're kissing.

Are you ready? Can you see me?

Are you ready? Can you see me?

Yes.

A...

two...

three.

Hugo!

What are you doing? Come on.

Did you sleep well?

Look.

It's in your honor.

They're beautiful, aren't they?

Your mother told me that you liked to read.

Your mother told me that you liked to read.

Here, you'll have plenty of time for that.

You haven't eaten?

We need to eat.

If someone knocks on the door,

Don't make any noise.

File in the closet.

Understood?

I'll be right back.

If someone knocks, don't answer.

To no one.

No! Move away from the window.

Right away!

Back off.

You see?

Do you see this stove?

Don't go any further.

That bastard could see you.

The concierge has enormous hands.

With real bear paws, it can break your neck.

Take this.

This is for you.

Eats on the armchair.

If you are asked questions,

Say that you are in Mariana.

And that's all.

You say that you are Mariana's son.

I'm so glad to have a handsome boy like you!

Don't make that face.

I could very well have had a son.

Nobody needs to know you're here.

I am your only friend.

The only one.

Go on, go to your room.

Wait.

Did you hear that?

That will be our code.

Happy birthday, Hugo.

Your father would be proud of you.

Here is his gift.

He would have liked to give it to you himself.

That way, you can write to me.

Every day.

Thank you, Uncle David.

A raid! Shh!

We need to go down to the cellar.

Come on, quickly!

Come in, my darling!

I'm dying of thirst.

I've been eating Jews all day.

I need to have a drink.

After that, I'll eat your ass.

Where do you hide your cognac?

- Where? - I don't have any.

Forget the cognac.

You've had a drink in your nose,

my commander.

Calm down.

Breathe.

The pain will subside.

Dad.

Go back to bed, Hugo.

And there you have it,

Mariana has forgotten you.

You haven't eaten anything all morning.

I slept like a log.

And now I have a headache.

How is Mariana's favorite little puppy doing?

Okay, thank you.

You can stay in my room for a little while.

I have a surprise for you.

I have a surprise for you.

Thank you.

Stop saying thank you to me.

That annoys me.

It's hot.

I'm bringing two more buckets of boiling water,

and we will add cold water.

You'll see,

it will be a bath worthy of paradise.

Take off your clothes.

Take off your clothes.

Come on,

Don't be shy with Mariana.

Take your clothes off, I told you.

And the underwear, too.

I'll be right back.

Isn't it too hot?

I'm going to wash you with a soap that smells very nice.

You are a big boy.

How old are you again, my pretty one?

Twelve years.

I had my birthday

just before coming here.

Your birthday.

A really handsome boy.

Do you have something to ask me?

Do you have something to ask me?

or what would you like us to talk about?

Didn't your mother tell you anything?

Mom told me not to ask questions.

Your work is none of my business.

Very good.

Were you sick last night?

That's cute.

Were you scared?

Aren't you afraid of the Germans?

Do you get along well with them?

Here, it's different.

What they do during the day, they stay outside.

Here, there are only men.

No more, no less.

Don't pay attention to what you hear.

We're just having fun, that's all.

That's my job.

I'm pretending.

What exactly is it?

And to think you weren't supposed to ask any questions!

It's just a game.

We play roles.

That's my job. I get paid for it.

I like your questions.

I really love them!

Come on, give your little willy a good rub.

Mariana also has her modesty.

You smell as good as flowers in spring!

Do you trust Mariana?

You're not judging her?

Good.

Mariana is tired.

She's going to take a little nap, go to your room.

Take this.

I have to go to town.

You can warm yourself by the stove.

Sweet dreams, my bunny.

Who do you think I am?

Leave me alone, I tell you!

Do you hear how you're talking to me?

Let go of me, I'm not your doll!

You went well with the other one.

I'm going to tell Madam.

Are you threatening me?

You'll see!

That's why,

morning and evening,

Mariana is asking me for seconds.

"Give me a little more, Victoria.

"Be kind, be generous.

"Victoria, darling, I love your delicious little dishes."

I'd had my suspicions for a while.

Do you know what the risks are, by hiding a Jew?

You know that this puts us all in danger?

Where is Mariana?

She is here.

You thought you were going to fool us?

That's none of your business.

My door was closed, you shouldn't have come in.

That's none of my business?

You're putting us all in danger, with your Jew.

Come on, let's talk.

I have nothing to say to you.

You know what the Germans do

to those who hide Jews?

That's my son.

You should be ashamed, Mariana.

I'm going to tell Madam everything.

Do you believe in God?

You want to denounce my son?

You want to denounce my son?

I'm here, my darling.

I am here.

Yacov Blumenfeld ?

Yes, it's me.

What's happening?

Take care of the little one.

I didn't do anything.

Yulia !

Leave him alone, he hasn't done anything!

Wait!

He didn't do anything!

Yulia, I'll be back soon.

Yacov!

Mom.

I want to be with you.

The cook is going to report me.

Take me with you.

It's impossible, you know that, my darling.

You are my heart...

my baby.

No one can separate us.

Don't get caught.

Be patient.

Trust Mariana.

She threatened me.

Do you realize!

She said you had to leave.

She didn't want to believe you were my son.

She didn't want to believe you were my son.

But I spoke to him.

She will remain silent.

Mariana hasn't had her last word.

And Victoria will say nothing.

A real churchgoer!

I know how to silence her.

Mariana will get it in her pocket.

Don't be afraid.

I promised your mother I would protect you.

And I will protect you.

You look at me with those eyes...

You say nothing.

You do everything Mariana asks of you.

You trust Mariana.

You're not judging her?

There are some in there.

Get up.

Mariana!

Hugo!

Hugo!

Hugo, come!

There's snow everywhere!

Know!

Hugo, come!

Hugo, come!

Come on, get out!

Know!

There's snow everywhere!

I beg you, do not lose hope.

Despair is a defeat.

Don't forget to do your homework.

Whatever happens, one must always cultivate oneself.

What are you looking for?

The fountain pen you gave me.

You don't use it much, do you?

If you don't study,

Your head will empty.

I lost it.

I disgust myself!

Look in my bag,

I got you some sandwiches from Orwitz.

I got you some sandwiches from Orwitz.

Did you go to town? Do you have any news from Mom?

I've told you a hundred times that nobody knows anything.

The Jews are either in hiding or they are dead.

They will return after the war, it's not difficult to understand.

In the meantime, you must stay alive.

So, eat.

Look at this.

You're frozen!

I can't stand to see this room anymore.

She disgusts me.

My mother is very ill.

Those bastards!

They didn't want to give me the medication on credit.

They didn't want to give me the medication on credit.

Those bastards who stole your parents' pharmacy.

One week!

I was just asking them to wait a week.

Without medication, she won't last.

Who stole from our pharmacy?

Two weeks ago, I bought him some fruit.

What more can I do?

I don't want my mother to be mad at me.

Your mother knows that you love her.

Who stole from our pharmacy?

Where did you get that from?

A mother has a special bond with her child.

It's scientifically proven.

Oh really?

This is a link that must be made at birth.

My mother protects me everywhere,

even here.

Yours too.

Yours too.

You're intelligent...

Who took our pharmacy?

But there, you're wrong.

My mother could never stand me.

Even when I was little.

Your mom knows you love her, I'm telling you.

You're the only one...

who I can trust.

My God...

You sent me an angel.

You deserve a gift.

A lovely gift.

Very personal.

Never remove it.

Neither day nor night.

They are hunting down the Jews.

You have nothing to fear,

You have nothing to fear,

You are my son.

We're a bit alike, aren't we?

Can I eat you?

No.

So maybe I can give you a kiss?

Not again?

Are you sick?

Who do you think you are?

I know some high-ranking officers.

I don't give a damn about your German friends!

You think you scare me?

Get lost.

Casse-toi, salt with!

You sicko!

Who do you think you are?

Do you know who I am?

A dirty pervert with a limp dick!

Yes, you have a soft erection!

All in the mouth, nothing in the dick.

All in the mouth, nothing in the dick.

What did you say?

Repeat it, just to see.

Do you know who you're talking to?

Do you know who I am?

Nacha !

Please.

That guy's sick.

Let's all calm down.

He strangled me.

Calm down.

Get lost!

Get out of here, you bastard!

Shut your mouth, you.

I'll make you all stop!

Go complain to your Germans!

- Respect the customers. - I don't care!

Asshole!

I'll make you all stop!

Bastard!

Our establishment apologizes.

Is everything alright?

Sleep now.

Sleep now.

Mariana is not feeling well.

If you are cold, sit near the stove, but don't talk to me.

First, stop crying.

What happened?

Still drunk.

He wasn't getting an erection.

Who do you think you are?

He wanted to punch me!

Do we have enough customers to scare them away?

And if he tells this to his German friends?

They can close the establishment, or worse.

Why is he snooping around?

Hey, you idiot, I'm talking to you!

The girls hear rats, food is disappearing.

I'm looking for where these bastards are hiding.

I only see one rat here!

That's enough, Mariana!

I warned you. You swore to me.

That's it for you, miss.

Tomorrow, you're getting out of this room.

Tomorrow, you're getting out of this room.

After everything we've done for you, me and this house.

And me?

I haven't done anything for this house?

Madam...

Don't do that to me.

You're not going to throw me out on the street, are you? I beg you.

I've seen enough of you.

Please...

Besides, you put us all in danger.

I will give your room to one of the girls tomorrow at noon.

Can you give it to Nacha?

Please, Madam?

Be nice.

Pack your bags.

Don't worry.

We're going to go talk to Madam.

Look how blue her neck is.

I know that nutcase, he's a piece of trash.

When he comes back, that pig, we'll give him what for.

When he comes back, that pig, we'll give him what for.

Come on, leave me alone.

You can sit down.

Are you going to leave?

What?

Are you going to leave here?

What are we going to do?

I need to think,

Okay?

Stand up!

To bed.

It's cold.

It's cold.

Move aside.

For once, we're going to sleep together.

All night long.

Move aside.

You're freezing.

You're so cold!

Come and stand next to me.

There is nothing better than human warmth.

I'm going to leave with you.

No, no, no...

In Mariana's bed,

We don't cry.

We are a man.

Hello, Hugo.

I'd like to introduce you to my friend Nacha.

He's cute,

and what's more, he's intelligent.

Like all Jews.

Did you see that?

Nacha likes Jews.

Opposite, there is the wood shed.

Only go in case of absolute danger.

Otherwise, never leave your hiding place.

Understood?

I'm leaving my things here.

I'll get them later. At the same time as you.

Where are you going?

Listen,

Nacha is a kind and reliable girl.

Nacha is a kind and reliable girl.

And the cook?

She will denounce me.

Victoria? Don't worry.

I paid for it.

- What? - I had no choice.

My mother's brooch?

That's the price of your life.

Don't start.

Despair is for the weak, it's useless.

And you might fall in love with Nacha.

You won't want to come with me anymore.

You are betraying my mother.

You're abandoning me.

What?

What do I hear?

What did you say?

You ungrateful wretch.

Mama's boy!

Yulia is my friend,

but she coddled you too much.

You're no longer in your little bourgeois house.

I was in the ghetto.

That's it!

In your rich family, well protected?

In your rich family, well protected?

You know how to make beautiful sentences, but nothing else.

Look around you.

Open your eyes.

This is war.

Don't just think about yourself.

Goodbye, my man.

We'll see each other again soon.

One.

Aren't you going to kiss me?

Not great, as a kiss.

It lacks enthusiasm.

Don't you want to kiss me?

We're going to have to teach you.

Anna...

Anna...

They found a family with three children.

They were hiding in a house next door.

The owners were shot in the square, in front of everyone.

What are we going to do with the Jew?

Nothing.

You mustn't make any noise, do you hear? Don't move.

You will say that you are Mariana's son.

And above all,

Say that nobody knew you were here.

Only Mariana knew.

Me, I knew nothing.

And take out your cross,

we need to see her.

At.

How?

You must address yourself to the mother of God.

Listen.

Mary, Mother of Mercy, who art in heaven,

Protect me from death,

even though I am Jewish.

You will kill us all.

Stop breathing.

Lave-toi, tu pues.

I don't joke around when it comes to cleanliness.

Go.

Get up and eat.

Mariana told me that you were obedient.

She lied.

Mom,

Above all, I hope you're hiding well.

Mariana had an argument with the homeowner.

and she was sent back.

Her friend Nacha is taking care of me.

Her friend Nacha is taking care of me.

Here, time passes without me.

Hugo.

The words I used to use have lost their power.

I don't read, I don't study.

I can't get my head working anymore.

I'm afraid it will empty out,

that I transform into a beast.

My memories are fading.

I can no longer be anywhere but where I am.

Since Mariana left,

I don't know how the hours pass.

And even less so the days.

I'm waiting for his return.

to give him my letter.

She will surely know how to send it to you.

I'm coming!

Help me, my dear.

He's strong, my little man!

Has anyone seen Nacha?

No, Madame.

She didn't have dinner yesterday and didn't eat this morning.

Did anyone see her leave?

I asked all the girls. She didn't come back.

That's incredible! She couldn't have just vanished.

I can't trust him.

They're wearing fur coats in the middle of summer!

We will have finished before noon.

Victoria was right.

We have a little Jew at our house.

Nacha has been arrested.

You have to leave.

Who would have thought that Nacha was Jewish?

You didn't know that?

Don't tell me that between you two...

Forgive me.

Get out of here.

There he is, that dirty little rat.

Victoria was telling the truth.

Mariana was hiding a Jew in her room.

Have you been here long?

Yes.

Is it Mariana who hid you there?

Yes.

This is very dangerous for us.

I'm at home and I didn't know anything.

Do you think that's normal?

Et Nacha ?

Were you in cahoots? Are you related?

Of course they are related.

Jews were arrested.

I saw them pass by the house.

Where are they taking them?

They are conducting raids everywhere.

Let me deliver it, I'll bring it myself.

So that we're all shot?

We've been hiding it for so long.

I know a good place.

You see, everything will be alright.

Madame is good.

If you leave right away,

She won't hand you over to the Germans.

Pack your bag,

and in an hour, Mr. Tudor will take you far away from here.

File! You have no business here!

Get out!

Go to hell!

What is it?

Gross.

Go.

Come on, Bruto, let's go.

Thank you Lord for protecting him.

Forgive me, my little one.

Sorry.

Mary, full of grace,

Save that Jew.

Victoria will say nothing to Madame.

Mariana will fix everything.

My mother is dead.

Her illness took her life in a few weeks.

Now she is in heaven.

And I am all alone here.

And I am all alone here.

I have no one left.

Stop crying.

They will do you more harm.

Listen.

You must be strong.

I saw Anna.

In the forest.

In a big hole...

full of water.

And inside...

There were lots of dead people.

That's enough, stop crying.

Come on, no noise.

Together, we will find your mother, after the war.

But be careful,

I need a man by my side.

Not a baby.

I have to go to work.

Stay with me.

Listen,

The old cod agreed to take me back.

provided that I work.

And that I stop drinking.

Come on, try to get some sleep.

I stopped drinking.

I was in my father's house.

I was in my father's house.

He was wearing his kippah.

He welcomed me with open arms.

He called me his daughter.

I saw Anna over there.

Don't worry.

She's doing well.

She's thinking of you.

- Come on, Hugo. - Get out!

- Come on, Hugo. - Get out!

He's grown so much, I had a hard time finding this costume for him.

That's because I feed it well.

Hugo!

Go.

I'd like to introduce you to my friend Ketty.

Happy birthday, Hugo.

You are almost the same age.

You are very elegant.

Thank you.

Walk a little, so we can admire you.

You are so handsome!

Look in your pocket.

In the inside pocket.

I saw.

Go ahead, open it!

Aren't you looking inside?

Look.

Don't you recognize her?

Don't you recognize your mother?

Yes.

And who's next to him?

It's you!

And the boy?

That's your uncle.

Sigmund.

He was my lover.

I told you so.

We are from the same family.

Sigmund.

My dear Hugo,

Here you are, you've reached adulthood.

It's like your bar mitzvah.

Now you are a man.

But you won't be like the others.

But you won't be like the others.

You will be generous.

I know.

Because I know you.

You have a good heart.

This is something very rare.

Thank you.

Thank you? Is that all?

Give Mariana a kiss, to thank her.

Come on!

Better than that, come on.

You are handsome.

I'm here!

What's wrong? You look sad.

Have a drink.

You have the right now.

Yesterday you couldn't, today you can.

On his birthday, we think

to his parents.

Me, I don't have any, and I still think about them.

Don't worry, Hugo.

I understand you.

Trains no longer stop at our station.

Soon, the city will be better supplied.

We have nothing to do with it if the Germans retreat.

On the contrary, even.

You are mistaken.

The Germans have not had their last word.

Do you remember the headmaster of the Carmelite school?

He says the situation is changing,

or something like that.

The soldiers stationed here are sent to the Eastern Front.

So, we're going to end up unemployed.

Are they hunting down Jews more?

A small German unit is still chasing them.

When will they leave?

Nobody knows.

In your opinion,

Are the communists better than the Germans?

What's going to happen to us?

What's the difference between a German dick and a Russian one?

The Reds aren't going to like this

our old acquaintances.

They're not the ones who will be holding us accountable.

It's God.

So for me, it's doomed from the start.

Luckily, we have our little Hugo.

Isn't that right?

You won't forget your old friends who protected you, fed you, comforted you.

You won't forget your old friends who protected you, fed you, comforted you.

Will you tell all this to the communists?

We did everything we could.

Isn't that right?

He and his wife are so scared

that they believe more in you than in Jesus!

An officer sent to the front

me asks me to wait for him.

He says it will help him fight.

How awful!

A sip.

Only one.

I still please the garbage.

Mariana is going to bed.

You can sit next to me, if you like.

You will watch over my sleep.

Mariana is more at ease

when her little dog watches over her.

Puppies are so cute.

But they grow up,

they become dogs.

You will always be my little puppy.

Okay?

Okay.

Mariana!

Mariana, are you there?

I am sick.

I have a client downstairs, a young soldier.

Can you take it?

What's going on?

I have a customer downstairs, a kid.

Can you take it for me?

It's too early.

He's leaving for the front tomorrow.

Come on, do it for me.

Make it go up.

Go to your room, my treasure.

Come on!

Know!

Good evening, madam.

Enter.

Come in then.

What's wrong, darling?

Enter.

This is my last night here.

I have no one to talk to.

That's why I wanted to...

That's very good.

Don't worry, come here.

My big boy.

You are handsome.

Sorry.

I can't do it.

No, no, no...

In Mariana's bed, there is no crying.

In Mariana's bed, there is no crying.

We are a man.

We don't cry here.

Who is it?

Hugo, what are you doing here?

- My mother has syphilis. - Liar!

You'd better leave.

Go to your room.

Disappear, immediately!

That's my son.

That's my son.

Hugo.

Sorry.

Don't look at me like that!

That's enough! Disappear.

Sorry.

Go away!

What did you do?

This is very serious!

What if he tells everyone?

He won't do it, he'll be too ashamed.

That's dangerous!

I'm not your client.

That doesn't make me laugh.

You're talking absolute nonsense.

You're talking absolute nonsense.

You're not right in the head.

What is it, my heart?

Do you believe in dreams?

To dreams?

I'm wary of it.

Why?

For nothing.

If there are no more Germans,

Will we be allowed to go out?

Is it true that you were Uncle Sigmund's sweetheart?

Your uncle was an intellectual.

In your style.

Sigmund...

with the maid's daughter.

Not even Jewish, either.

Mariana could have been a devoted homemaker.

She would have raised her children

as is done among the Jews.

I think you look alike.

Look who's here!

Hello!

Do you know him?

I've heard about him.

She holds his hand.

I'd like to introduce you to my friend.

What's your name?

Hugo.

- What? - Hugo.

He's my friend.

He is like a brother to me.

Do you want a coffee?

He only drinks milk.

Milk? He's old enough to drink coffee.

Or champagne.

Hugo!

Why aren't you saying anything?

What do you want him to say?

We thought it was a child.

But he's a big boy.

You're mistaken.

He's tall, that's all.

We know how to tell the difference

between a boy and a young man.

between a boy and a young man.

That's our job.

How are you?

He is shy.

How are you?

my young friend?

Do you remember our last meeting?

Yes, madam.

This time, you're going to have to

seek another refuge.

The house is going to close its doors.

What?

Why?

I don't have the means to continue.

We haven't won anything for over a month.

How can I feed fifteen girls?

There isn't a single German left in town.

We don't know how to do anything else.

We don't have any money either.

Girls, listen to me.

We were united.

We were like a family.

All I can advise you to do is go and look for

your happiness elsewhere.

Is family every man for himself?

The Germans will return and they will take their revenge.

of those who closed the institutions that served them.

What are we going to do?

Thank you very much!

She could have said it before.

The storm is coming.

What are we going to do? Where are we going to go?

The Russians will be merciless.

There are the Carmelites.

There are the Carmelites.

You see us at the convent!

Shut up!

Don't turn your back on your last chance for salvation.

Mariana is going to leave.

I don't know where I'm going, but I'm leaving.

I'm suffocating here.

I have to wait for my parents. They're coming to pick me up.

You have nothing to fear from the Reds.

They will hold me accountable.

I can't wait. I have to flee.

Well, I'll wait for them alone.

Victoria will take care of you.

I don't need anyone.

If you want, you can leave right away.

Don't be so hard on me.

Hugo!

Where is our big boy?

Mariana, let our prince out!

His Majesty!

Listen,

as long as the Russians aren't there,

I will wait.

with you.

Okay?

You think I'm going to leave you with those whores?

That was all that was left. I'm fed up with soup.

My darling,

come help me.

Can you wash the back of my neck?

Can you wash the back of my neck?

Go.

How stuck you are!

Stop thinking all the time.

Stop!

I got you good!

Wait!

Mariana, attends !

It's not over, you haven't won yet.

I got you good!

"Abraham and Sarah were old,

"of advanced age,

"and Sarah could no longer hope to have children.

"She laughed to herself, saying:

"Now that I'm worn out,

"will I still have desires?

"will I still have desires?

"The Lord said to Abraham:

"Why then did Sarah laugh, saying:

"Will I really have a child, me, who is old?"

Repeat the last sentence.

"So we will no longer say:

"The fathers ate unripe grapes,

"and the children's teeth were set on edge."

You see?

It's written there, I told you so.

What did you say?

That we must not be afraid of God.

He is generous to all the merciful.

And you, you are pure of heart.

That doesn't mean that at all.

Basically, I say yes.

You are an angel.

My God,

You sent me an angel.

You sent me an angel.

You don't tell us what happened to you.

You never talk about it.

Was Mariana nice to you?

Was Mariana nice to you?

Did you get along well with her?

Hugo!

Descends !

Nothing will ever be the same again.

I am not the same anymore.

I've made my decision. I'm leaving with Mariana.

What do you mean, you're leaving?

We are your parents.

I am your mother.

You prefer a slut to your parents?

You break your mother's heart.

Mariana.

The Russians are in town.

The Russians are in town.

We have to leave.

I'm leaving.

Hello, Hugo.

What's going on?

Madame has left.

She didn't say anything, she just left without telling me.

In the middle of the night.

I believed

that she would take me with her.

But she abandoned us.

That's not so bad.

We'll pocket the money ourselves.

we will earn more.

Hugo, wait.

What's going on?

I was asleep, I didn't hear anything.

Where are they all?

Where are they all?

Everyone has left.

Even that fat pig of a concierge.

So the Russians are here?

They are everywhere in the city. Soon, they will pass through this gate.

And Madam?

She was the first to leave.

What are we going to do?

Run away.

I'm going to my sister's place in Lviv.

It smells like death here.

God keep you.

Don't delay.

Wait, stay with me.

Mariana doesn't care about you.

I will take care of you.

Ketty...

And you, you will protect me.

Come with us, we're leaving.

No. They won't come here.

Come, I tell you.

No, I don't want to go out. Wait.

Hugo, wait!

What are you waiting for? Pack your suitcase, we have to leave.

Leave?

Where?

I have nowhere to go.

I am known everywhere.

In the forest, far from any dwellings.

Leave me alone.

The soldiers will take you back to your parents.

Mariana, hurry up!

They're here. Come with me.

Leave me alone.

On part ensemble.

Let's go.

Mariana, help me!

Mariana!

Mariana!

I'm hungry.

Go.

We need to find shelter before curfew.

We are fleeing the front line.

We are looking for a place to sleep.

We have the means to pay. I have a child with me.

He is hungry.

My name is Maria.

I am a mother and a widow. This is my son, Taras.

I can add that.

No, we don't need cigarettes.

Enter.

We have just sat down to eat.

We don't want to disturb.

We will leave tomorrow morning.

Put on plates.

Only God knows what tomorrow holds for us.

I don't know how to thank you.

Isn't that right, my darling?

People have forgotten that they need to help each other.

Especially when it comes to

of a single mother,

with his young son.

Thank you.

Lord,

bless this food and the people around this table.

Teach us to love ourselves as we love You.

Teach us to share our bread.

Forgive us our sins,

Give us a new day and bless us.

Amen.

Take a blanket, it's cold.

Take a blanket, it's cold.

Thank you.

Good night.

Aren't you Mariana?

What Mariana?

I don't know anyone by that name.

I was sure you were Mariana.

Everyone can make a mistake.

And is he your son?

Can't you see it?

Not too much.

Do you at least know who your father is?

Old bastard.

Don't talk to him like that.

If you want, we can go talk with your wife and son.

You've become very proud, Mariana.

Tomorrow, you're out.

You hypocrite!

Dirty hick.

And after that,

They play the good souls, they even pray!

I'm scared.

Hold me tight.

- I've changed my mind. - About what?

We're going back to Czernowitz.

I'm going to walk you home.

That's where your mother will come to get you, where you will meet again.

But the city is dangerous for you.

There or elsewhere...

I don't care

where I will go.

What was it?

Is anyone there?

I'm cold.

You are mine, Hugo.

I don't want to leave

without having given you anything.

Take my love.

Hide it.

Hide it in your heart.

And from time to time,

Tell yourself:

"I remember Mariana."

Is that your son?

Yes.

Shame on you!

A mother doesn't sleep like that with her son.

Get up.

He's not my son.

Slut.

Witch.

I took you for a good Christian, a victim.

Wait a minute!

Let go of me, you filthy pig!

You dirty German-sucking bitch, you'll pay for this!

Our Russian friends are waiting for you.

Let go of me!

Hey, guys!

Let them take this trail with them.

Don't touch me!

Little bastard!

It's time to pay for the traitors.

Let go of me!

Keep my suitcase, my heart.

Keep my suitcase, my heart.

I'll be back.

See you soon.

I know you.

You are the son of Yacov and Yulia.

You are the son of pharmacists.

Don't you remember me?

My wife and I lived on the third floor.

What's your name?

Macha.

You are a beautiful girl, Macha.

How old are you?

Mom!

Who are you?

What are you looking at?

What are you doing here?

Go away!

Go away, I tell you, or I'll call the police.

All those who lived here are dead.

There's nothing left for you here.

No one and nothing left. Get out!

Many.

Eat while it's hot.

Come on, eat, my little one.

Leave him alone.

Put the coat on him.

We are also waiting for someone.

Our son.

That's his coat.

You didn't understand?

It's useless.

There's no point in waiting.

Don't listen.

No one will come back.

He's talking nonsense.

What's your name?

It must have a name.

Who is that?

Are these your sisters?

Your mother?

Is that your mother?

Is that her?

Or her?

How strong he is, my little man!

Ask me what you want.

A lamp, for reading and for writing.

A lamp!

It's not possible, in the small room.

In the closet, we close our eyes

and we dream.
