1
00:00:47,792 --> 00:00:51,542
FREELY INSPIRED BY A TRUE STORY
2
00:00:54,834 --> 00:01:00,959
MARCH 31, 1889
3
00:02:08,709 --> 00:02:10,209
Ladies and gentlemen,
4
00:02:11,084 --> 00:02:12,792
I thank you all for being here today.
5
00:02:12,875 --> 00:02:14,167
3 YEARS EARLIER… SEPTEMBER 1886
6
00:02:14,251 --> 00:02:15,418
Mr. eiffel,
7
00:02:16,209 --> 00:02:17,959
what you have done for america
8
00:02:18,750 --> 00:02:20,709
America will never forget.
9
00:02:20,792 --> 00:02:24,418
You modestly claim,
that you just realized
10
00:02:24,500 --> 00:02:27,959
the internal structure
of the Statue of Liberty.
11
00:02:28,042 --> 00:02:30,000
But it is this frame,
12
00:02:30,084 --> 00:02:33,459
which guarantees that this
statue will resist wind
13
00:02:33,542 --> 00:02:35,209
and storms
14
00:02:35,792 --> 00:02:39,000
and will still pass
in a hundred years.
15
00:02:39,084 --> 00:02:40,376
More. Much more.
16
00:02:41,583 --> 00:02:44,667
On behalf of the American
people and their values,
17
00:02:45,251 --> 00:02:46,334
I appoint you
18
00:02:46,875 --> 00:02:50,042
honorary citizen of the United States.
19
00:03:03,500 --> 00:03:04,750
Dad, we need to talk.
20
00:03:04,834 --> 00:03:07,042
You give up law school for art?
21
00:03:08,625 --> 00:03:09,542
I want to get married.
22
00:03:10,750 --> 00:03:11,959
Excuse me?
23
00:03:12,709 --> 00:03:13,750
I want to get married.
24
00:03:14,834 --> 00:03:17,834
Yes of course. You will one day.
25
00:03:17,917 --> 00:03:19,667
Eat some more oysters.
26
00:03:19,750 --> 00:03:22,167
Iodine is excellent for health.
27
00:03:22,251 --> 00:03:23,709
Jean, have you eaten?
28
00:03:23,792 --> 00:03:25,334
- No.
- Do you have the paper?
29
00:03:25,418 --> 00:03:26,500
Servant.
30
00:03:26,583 --> 00:03:29,834
- Something about the medal?
- I haven't read it yet.
31
00:03:29,917 --> 00:03:31,500
Another dozen oysters.
32
00:03:31,583 --> 00:03:32,500
You must sign this.
33
00:03:33,792 --> 00:03:35,209
Dad, we need to talk.
34
00:03:37,792 --> 00:03:38,959
Tell Poulard he's too expensive.
35
00:03:40,750 --> 00:03:43,334
Have you thought about the world exhibition?
36
00:03:45,126 --> 00:03:48,709
Again? I want a subway.
Claire, tell him a subway is modern.
37
00:03:48,792 --> 00:03:50,000
A subway is modern.
38
00:03:50,959 --> 00:03:53,792
A monument is an option.
It is prestigious.
39
00:03:54,334 --> 00:03:55,459
A monument is exciting.
40
00:03:58,834 --> 00:03:59,834
Prestigious…
41
00:04:00,500 --> 00:04:03,459
Why build something
to be torn down again?
42
00:04:03,542 --> 00:04:05,542
- Is it temporary?
- 20 years.
43
00:04:06,709 --> 00:04:09,126
Koechlin and Nouguiers
plan is ready to roll.
44
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,625
The two again?
45
00:04:11,709 --> 00:04:12,709
Are you kidding?
46
00:04:13,583 --> 00:04:15,959
- I'm leaving you.
- But sweetie...
47
00:04:16,750 --> 00:04:18,000
You wanted to talk to me.
48
00:04:18,084 --> 00:04:19,209
Don't be alarmed.
49
00:04:23,834 --> 00:04:27,292
Your daughter has really changed.
She has become a woman.
50
00:04:28,167 --> 00:04:29,334
Do you think?
51
00:04:31,959 --> 00:04:33,376
Hello.
52
00:04:34,209 --> 00:04:36,209
Did they bring their model?
53
00:04:36,292 --> 00:04:37,583
Of course.
54
00:04:37,667 --> 00:04:39,750
- Fifteen minutes, no more.
- I know.
55
00:04:41,583 --> 00:04:42,667
Hi Maurice.
56
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,167
It's ugly.
57
00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,376
It has four legs.
58
00:05:00,459 --> 00:05:02,917
Four, six or twelve. Ugly is ugly.
59
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,000
We can go up to 200 meters.
60
00:05:05,084 --> 00:05:07,834
Washington Monument
is only 169 meters.
61
00:05:07,917 --> 00:05:09,667
- So higher is better?
- Yes.
62
00:05:09,750 --> 00:05:10,917
That's the idea.
63
00:05:18,583 --> 00:05:21,251
Pack up your pylon
and back to work.
64
00:05:21,334 --> 00:05:25,167
A good project is useful, democratic
and lasting. Thank you.
65
00:05:25,750 --> 00:05:26,583
In the same way.
66
00:05:26,667 --> 00:05:27,750
Thanks.
67
00:05:28,542 --> 00:05:31,750
- Is the new child happy or stupid?
- It is impossible to say.
68
00:05:32,750 --> 00:05:34,334
Check it out with the subway.
69
00:05:34,418 --> 00:05:36,084
It is a subject of conflict.
70
00:05:36,167 --> 00:05:37,875
We need the trade minister.
71
00:05:37,959 --> 00:05:39,625
It is not a simple matter.
72
00:05:40,167 --> 00:05:41,376
See here.
73
00:05:42,418 --> 00:05:43,834
Antoine de Restac.
74
00:05:43,917 --> 00:05:46,334
We went to school together.
75
00:05:46,418 --> 00:05:49,209
He is a journalist,
who is close to the minister.
76
00:05:49,292 --> 00:05:50,292
He is our man.
77
00:05:50,376 --> 00:05:52,542
Were you friends?
78
00:05:52,625 --> 00:05:55,709
We liked beer and girls.
We brought them to the college.
79
00:05:55,792 --> 00:05:56,750
Put it here.
80
00:05:56,834 --> 00:05:59,042
- The girls?
- No, we saw them outside.
81
00:05:59,126 --> 00:06:01,084
- I'm arranging a meeting.
- Good.
82
00:06:01,167 --> 00:06:03,418
Were the tests conclusive?
83
00:06:03,500 --> 00:06:05,209
11,950 kilos.
84
00:06:05,292 --> 00:06:08,500
The bridge sank 21 mm
and corrected himself.
85
00:06:08,583 --> 00:06:09,542
Very good.
86
00:06:12,792 --> 00:06:14,126
To you, old man.
87
00:06:25,167 --> 00:06:26,126
Do you remember?
88
00:06:26,750 --> 00:06:27,625
Very good.
89
00:06:29,667 --> 00:06:30,875
In the suburbs!
90
00:06:31,418 --> 00:06:34,583
For the pleasure of the rich
with their smart carts!
91
00:06:35,500 --> 00:06:37,709
What about real people working?
92
00:06:37,792 --> 00:06:39,792
How will they visit the thing?
93
00:06:39,875 --> 00:06:41,792
- They take the subway!
- Exactly!
94
00:06:42,625 --> 00:06:44,376
I missed you, old boy!
95
00:07:03,500 --> 00:07:04,542
Here.
96
00:07:05,583 --> 00:07:07,459
- How many more?
- That's the last one.
97
00:07:08,167 --> 00:07:11,376
My head hurts. Get it
new child to get some bicarbonate.
98
00:07:11,459 --> 00:07:14,583
- Jeg vil gerne snakke med dig.
- Yes, you want to get married.
99
00:07:15,251 --> 00:07:16,959
With whom?
100
00:07:17,542 --> 00:07:18,500
Adolphe.
101
00:07:18,583 --> 00:07:20,834
- Don't know him.
- Adolphe Salles.
102
00:07:20,917 --> 00:07:24,583
Har aldrig hørt om Adolphe Salles.
Funny name.
103
00:07:25,251 --> 00:07:26,583
Stop it.
104
00:07:29,834 --> 00:07:30,834
Why is he here?
105
00:07:31,418 --> 00:07:32,376
It's him.
106
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:35,000
The new baby?
107
00:07:35,875 --> 00:07:37,418
Vil du giftes med det nye barn?
108
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:41,000
Wait a little.
109
00:07:41,084 --> 00:07:42,917
Skaf mig vand og bikarbonat.
110
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,459
Far, du ville have ansat hver og en,
jeg ville giftes med, for at teste ham.
111
00:07:46,542 --> 00:07:48,583
In this way
is already done.
112
00:07:48,667 --> 00:07:49,959
You cheated on me.
113
00:07:50,042 --> 00:07:51,500
Han har været her i syv måneder.
114
00:07:51,583 --> 00:07:52,792
Kan vi betragte det som gjort?
115
00:07:54,042 --> 00:07:55,917
My daughter is diabolical.
116
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,167
Did you know something?
117
00:08:00,376 --> 00:08:02,292
Okay, I need some cognac.
118
00:08:08,167 --> 00:08:10,459
What can I say?
Let's toast.
119
00:08:11,126 --> 00:08:12,959
You are really crazy.
120
00:08:13,042 --> 00:08:14,167
For the new baby.
121
00:08:14,251 --> 00:08:15,583
And Mrs. the new child.
122
00:08:25,167 --> 00:08:26,251
Hello!
123
00:08:27,167 --> 00:08:28,209
Children!
124
00:08:28,792 --> 00:08:30,542
Relax. No No No. That's enough.
125
00:08:30,625 --> 00:08:32,251
It's late.
Stop right now.
126
00:08:32,334 --> 00:08:33,583
Where is Albert?
127
00:08:34,376 --> 00:08:35,209
Albert!
128
00:08:35,292 --> 00:08:37,917
Stop it.
Take off the mask.
129
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,500
Calm down, thanks!
130
00:08:39,583 --> 00:08:41,667
That's enough.
It's late.
131
00:08:41,750 --> 00:08:43,376
Take his mask.
Thank you.
132
00:08:44,750 --> 00:08:45,917
Claire.
133
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,167
- Gold or silver for a minister?
- How was I supposed to see it?
134
00:08:49,251 --> 00:08:51,000
What would your mother have chosen?
135
00:08:51,667 --> 00:08:53,418
- Gold.
- There's my answer.
136
00:08:54,625 --> 00:08:56,209
She would have liked Adolphe too.
137
00:08:57,209 --> 00:08:58,542
- Do you think so?
- Yes.
138
00:09:28,376 --> 00:09:29,750
Excuse me.
139
00:09:29,834 --> 00:09:31,459
The minister is here.
140
00:09:31,542 --> 00:09:34,334
He is with his private secretary.
Good sign.
141
00:09:34,418 --> 00:09:36,000
- Are you scared?
- No, are you?
142
00:09:36,084 --> 00:09:39,376
No. What I love most
is the excitement before a meeting.
143
00:09:47,792 --> 00:09:50,126
Finally I meet you.
144
00:09:50,209 --> 00:09:51,500
Mr. Minister.
145
00:09:51,583 --> 00:09:55,792
The Minister of Defense spoke about
your bridges in glowing terms.
146
00:09:55,875 --> 00:09:57,167
Very useful in Indochina.
147
00:09:57,251 --> 00:09:58,750
Indochina.
148
00:09:58,834 --> 00:10:01,542
- Charles Bérard, private secretary.
- Hello. Gustav Eiffel.
149
00:10:01,625 --> 00:10:02,875
The Iron Mage.
150
00:10:02,959 --> 00:10:06,000
I'm not a magician.
I have good teams.
151
00:10:12,209 --> 00:10:13,583
Come and meet my wife.
152
00:10:14,917 --> 00:10:16,000
Adrienne?
153
00:10:17,667 --> 00:10:19,084
This is Gustave.
154
00:10:28,292 --> 00:10:29,459
Good evening.
155
00:10:38,709 --> 00:10:39,834
Good evening.
156
00:10:47,750 --> 00:10:49,667
Mr. Minister, ladies and gentlemen,
157
00:10:50,667 --> 00:10:52,667
dinner is served.
158
00:10:54,167 --> 00:10:55,334
Shall we eat?
159
00:11:42,917 --> 00:11:43,750
Eiffel!
160
00:11:44,500 --> 00:11:45,376
Excuse me.
161
00:11:45,459 --> 00:11:48,292
Antoine says you have
ideas for the competition.
162
00:11:49,126 --> 00:11:51,418
Gustave is in favor of the subway.
163
00:11:51,500 --> 00:11:53,625
The metro does not make anyone dream.
164
00:11:53,709 --> 00:11:58,625
After the defeat at Sedan, France needs
what a monument you made it to the americans.
165
00:11:58,709 --> 00:12:01,084
The Statue of Liberty.
What a symbol!
166
00:12:01,167 --> 00:12:03,459
It was Bartholdi's work, sir.
167
00:12:03,542 --> 00:12:05,834
But if it says it, it's thanks to you.
168
00:12:06,625 --> 00:12:08,459
Adrienne, what do you think?
169
00:12:09,709 --> 00:12:11,251
The same as Mr. Minister.
170
00:12:11,334 --> 00:12:12,709
We must be freer.
171
00:12:14,583 --> 00:12:15,792
More daring.
172
00:12:15,875 --> 00:12:16,917
Forget the subway!
173
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,292
This must be France's revenge on history.
174
00:12:19,376 --> 00:12:21,959
Eiffel, this is what I expect from you.
175
00:12:22,042 --> 00:12:24,251
A granite column.
How boring.
176
00:12:26,834 --> 00:12:28,167
We want panache.
177
00:12:28,251 --> 00:12:29,418
A tower.
178
00:12:30,084 --> 00:12:31,583
300 meters high.
179
00:12:31,667 --> 00:12:33,459
300?
Unbelievable.
180
00:12:34,209 --> 00:12:35,459
Made of metal?
181
00:12:35,542 --> 00:12:36,875
Metal only.
182
00:12:40,126 --> 00:12:41,459
I have one condition.
183
00:12:42,792 --> 00:12:44,459
I build it in Paris.
184
00:12:45,875 --> 00:12:48,126
Everyone should be able to see it.
185
00:12:48,209 --> 00:12:49,084
The wealthy,
186
00:12:49,917 --> 00:12:51,334
workers,
187
00:12:51,418 --> 00:12:54,042
big families and simple people.
188
00:12:54,126 --> 00:12:55,500
I want to mix the people.
189
00:12:55,583 --> 00:12:57,042
No more class divisions.
190
00:12:58,251 --> 00:13:00,750
- It's modernity.
- It's fantastic!
191
00:13:00,834 --> 00:13:04,084
It's a project. Exactly what we need.
192
00:13:12,959 --> 00:13:14,292
You could have warned me.
193
00:13:15,042 --> 00:13:17,500
He has always been unpredictable.
194
00:13:17,583 --> 00:13:18,792
Would you like a lift?
195
00:13:19,418 --> 00:13:21,126
Thanks, I'm going.
196
00:13:21,209 --> 00:13:23,625
I'll pick up the car.
It is a new prototype.
197
00:13:53,209 --> 00:13:54,459
look at me
198
00:14:15,251 --> 00:14:17,600
I hoped I'd never see you again.
199
00:14:41,334 --> 00:14:42,625
Thank you.
200
00:15:33,792 --> 00:15:35,167
What are you doing here?
201
00:15:38,167 --> 00:15:39,500
Have you slept here?
202
00:15:46,167 --> 00:15:47,459
We are building the tower.
203
00:15:49,126 --> 00:15:50,376
What do you mean?
204
00:15:52,542 --> 00:15:54,583
We buy Koechlin
and Nouguier's project.
205
00:15:55,334 --> 00:15:57,042
What are you talking about?
206
00:15:59,251 --> 00:16:00,792
It will be 300 meters.
207
00:16:06,167 --> 00:16:07,709
Get us some coffee.
208
00:16:21,292 --> 00:16:22,583
I have made up my mind.
209
00:17:26,292 --> 00:17:28,084
Hello with you.
210
00:17:29,667 --> 00:17:32,000
Forgotten for 20 years,
and now you are everywhere.
211
00:17:32,625 --> 00:17:34,084
Yes it is…
212
00:17:35,667 --> 00:17:38,042
I'm always locked in.
I needed a walk.
213
00:17:39,542 --> 00:17:40,834
I live right here.
214
00:17:40,917 --> 00:17:42,959
- Do you?
- Yes.
215
00:17:43,042 --> 00:17:44,625
I didn't know that.
216
00:17:45,292 --> 00:17:46,251
Come and have a drink.
217
00:17:46,334 --> 00:17:47,583
Um...
218
00:17:47,667 --> 00:17:48,792
Don't be shy.
219
00:17:50,750 --> 00:17:51,709
Okay.
220
00:17:51,792 --> 00:17:52,750
Let's go.
221
00:17:52,834 --> 00:17:54,084
Fantastic.
222
00:17:57,209 --> 00:18:00,376
- Adrienne is a great admirer of you.
- Okay.
223
00:18:00,459 --> 00:18:02,583
She even read one of your technical works.
224
00:18:03,209 --> 00:18:04,667
I am flattered.
225
00:18:04,750 --> 00:18:06,500
She is very charming.
226
00:18:06,583 --> 00:18:09,834
She is amazing. Very curious.
Everything interests her.
227
00:18:11,667 --> 00:18:13,626
She could have become anything.
228
00:18:14,959 --> 00:18:17,418
Excuse me for a moment. Sit down.
229
00:18:18,376 --> 00:18:20,084
- Good taste.
- Thank you.
230
00:19:59,459 --> 00:20:00,917
what are you doing
231
00:20:04,959 --> 00:20:06,042
I got lost.
232
00:20:14,334 --> 00:20:15,459
Help me!
233
00:20:20,750 --> 00:20:21,917
Help me!
234
00:20:22,792 --> 00:20:23,875
Help me!
235
00:20:36,459 --> 00:20:37,792
Come and help us!
236
00:20:48,126 --> 00:20:49,167
Get some water!
237
00:20:51,334 --> 00:20:53,000
You had no reason to jump.
238
00:20:53,583 --> 00:20:56,750
With more wood we would
have better scaffolding.
239
00:20:56,834 --> 00:20:57,959
No one would fall off!
240
00:20:58,042 --> 00:21:00,625
I have told you.
I have a budget to stick to.
241
00:21:02,126 --> 00:21:04,000
Get some water!
242
00:21:05,917 --> 00:21:07,292
And I need my men.
243
00:21:13,376 --> 00:21:14,667
Did your husband die? No.
244
00:21:15,251 --> 00:21:17,042
So stop whining about wood.
245
00:21:17,126 --> 00:21:19,459
- I will find some myself.
- Of course.
246
00:21:19,542 --> 00:21:22,709
Change clothes. This is no time to be sick.
247
00:21:49,334 --> 00:21:50,292
Mr. Bourges.
248
00:21:50,376 --> 00:21:52,500
- Are you expected?
- It's urgent.
249
00:21:52,583 --> 00:21:53,750
It's about the bridge.
250
00:21:54,792 --> 00:21:55,750
follow me
251
00:21:56,251 --> 00:21:57,459
This way.
252
00:21:58,625 --> 00:21:59,875
Make room!
253
00:22:10,583 --> 00:22:13,000
No, don't start again.
254
00:22:13,084 --> 00:22:15,126
- I love pants.
- They are forbidden.
255
00:22:15,209 --> 00:22:16,750
Do you want to visit me in prison?
256
00:22:16,834 --> 00:22:19,542
- Be a good girl.
- I'm a good girl, dad.
257
00:22:21,625 --> 00:22:22,917
Mr. Bourges?
258
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:24,251
Who are you?
259
00:22:24,334 --> 00:22:26,292
- It's about the scaffolding.
- Scaffolding?
260
00:22:26,376 --> 00:22:28,500
- Yes. To the bridge.
- The bridge?
261
00:22:28,583 --> 00:22:29,917
But who are you?
262
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,625
Gustav Eiffel.
263
00:22:31,709 --> 00:22:33,042
Eiffel, my pleasure.
264
00:22:33,126 --> 00:22:35,292
- Mutually.
- The man everyone is talking about.
265
00:22:35,376 --> 00:22:37,625
I know that.
We need more wood.
266
00:22:37,709 --> 00:22:40,583
- I want to see with Pauwels.
- No now!
267
00:22:41,459 --> 00:22:42,625
Really.
268
00:22:45,126 --> 00:22:46,917
So stay for lunch.
269
00:22:47,500 --> 00:22:48,750
We talk about it.
270
00:22:49,459 --> 00:22:50,500
- Is that a yes?
- No.
271
00:22:50,583 --> 00:22:53,042
Perfect. Georges, one more envelope.
272
00:22:53,126 --> 00:22:55,859
I didn't come to lunch.
I came for wood.
273
00:23:06,126 --> 00:23:08,000
Bravo for this morning.
274
00:23:08,084 --> 00:23:09,667
Garonne is dangerous!
275
00:23:09,750 --> 00:23:12,251
He didn't hesitate
moment before he jumped in.
276
00:23:13,292 --> 00:23:14,959
You jumped in the river?
277
00:23:17,376 --> 00:23:20,667
Everyone knows it except me.
Please let us know.
278
00:23:21,292 --> 00:23:24,709
I need scaffolding.
One of my men fell into the river.
279
00:23:24,792 --> 00:23:26,376
One of your men?
280
00:23:26,459 --> 00:23:29,376
I am the engineer with
responsible for the metal bridge.
281
00:23:29,459 --> 00:23:31,042
Metal lace!
282
00:23:31,126 --> 00:23:32,709
It's phenomenal.
283
00:23:33,709 --> 00:23:34,875
I find it ugly.
284
00:23:35,709 --> 00:23:38,542
It is modern.
And it was the mayor's choice.
285
00:23:39,167 --> 00:23:41,376
What a project
for a young engineer.
286
00:23:41,459 --> 00:23:43,167
I didn't design it alone.
287
00:23:43,251 --> 00:23:44,709
I supervise the work.
288
00:23:44,792 --> 00:23:48,251
Pauwels said that the
young man developed
289
00:23:48,334 --> 00:23:52,750
a revolutionary new method
with hydraulic jacks.
290
00:23:53,667 --> 00:23:54,750
A simple system.
291
00:23:54,834 --> 00:23:57,418
The piles are secured in the river bed.
292
00:23:57,500 --> 00:24:01,376
The bridge is stable despite
its light metal structure.
293
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,000
So you're an engineer?
294
00:24:07,542 --> 00:24:08,583
Yes.
295
00:24:10,167 --> 00:24:12,500
- Can you build everything?
- Not everything.
296
00:24:12,583 --> 00:24:14,126
But quite a lot.
297
00:24:14,209 --> 00:24:16,459
Where did you learn to swim?
298
00:24:16,542 --> 00:24:17,834
At school.
299
00:24:17,917 --> 00:24:19,418
Which entrance exam?
300
00:24:19,500 --> 00:24:22,625
I applied to Polytechnic,
but Centrale admitted me.
301
00:24:22,709 --> 00:24:24,834
So Centrale needs good swimmers?
302
00:24:27,834 --> 00:24:30,042
My first aid test actually went badly.
303
00:24:30,126 --> 00:24:32,917
The guy I was supposed to save
drowned and died.
304
00:24:38,334 --> 00:24:40,418
Luckily they graded my dive.
305
00:24:40,500 --> 00:24:42,667
My arms were straight,
so they took me.
306
00:24:44,917 --> 00:24:46,209
He's funny!
307
00:24:48,292 --> 00:24:50,750
Our engineer has wit.
Very funny.
308
00:24:50,834 --> 00:24:52,292
And you rebuked Edmond.
309
00:24:52,376 --> 00:24:54,376
It makes you a double hero.
310
00:24:55,792 --> 00:24:57,792
Sir, ours
scaffolding is too small.
311
00:24:57,875 --> 00:24:59,542
That's why my husband fell.
312
00:24:59,625 --> 00:25:00,917
I need more wood.
313
00:25:01,917 --> 00:25:03,209
Dad, did you hear that?
314
00:25:03,834 --> 00:25:06,834
If a bit of wood can save lives.
You too can be a hero.
315
00:25:27,959 --> 00:25:29,251
Are you bored?
316
00:25:30,251 --> 00:25:31,750
No, I have to work.
317
00:25:31,834 --> 00:25:34,834
Of course. I always forget it.
Some people work.
318
00:25:36,084 --> 00:25:37,418
Are you coming to my birthday?
319
00:25:39,376 --> 00:25:40,834
I don't know.
320
00:25:40,917 --> 00:25:43,042
There will be wood and metal.
321
00:25:44,625 --> 00:25:46,000
Tables and silverware?
322
00:25:46,792 --> 00:25:47,959
That's right.
323
00:25:49,792 --> 00:25:51,667
If so, why not.
324
00:25:51,750 --> 00:25:52,875
Good day, miss.
325
00:25:52,959 --> 00:25:53,917
Good day.
326
00:25:54,709 --> 00:25:55,834
I was there.
327
00:25:58,209 --> 00:25:59,667
I saw you save your husband.
328
00:27:10,709 --> 00:27:11,709
Huh?
329
00:28:47,667 --> 00:28:49,667
Mr. Eiffel will join us.
330
00:28:50,542 --> 00:28:51,750
Let's begin.
331
00:29:05,792 --> 00:29:07,084
Oh!
332
00:29:10,917 --> 00:29:12,251
What can I do now?
333
00:29:38,209 --> 00:29:39,500
It is a draw. You stay.
334
00:29:40,042 --> 00:29:41,709
- No No No.
- Yes, yes!
335
00:29:43,251 --> 00:29:46,376
Who wants ice cream?
Vanilla, strawberry.
336
00:29:58,667 --> 00:29:59,834
Oh!
337
00:30:17,126 --> 00:30:18,334
Don't like ice cream?
338
00:30:18,834 --> 00:30:19,834
Yes, of course.
339
00:30:21,167 --> 00:30:22,667
You are so serious.
340
00:30:23,459 --> 00:30:25,242
Are you unhappy with it?
341
00:30:25,709 --> 00:30:27,000
No, not at all.
342
00:30:31,292 --> 00:30:32,334
Here.
343
00:30:33,917 --> 00:30:35,167
It's for you.
344
00:30:36,334 --> 00:30:37,167
Thank you.
345
00:30:43,625 --> 00:30:46,042
THE ART OF BUILDING METAL BRIDGES
346
00:30:46,126 --> 00:30:48,209
Would I rather have given you
a fan or a scarf?
347
00:30:48,292 --> 00:30:49,959
A scarf, yes.
348
00:30:52,126 --> 00:30:53,459
I love your gift.
349
00:30:54,583 --> 00:30:55,959
It is unique.
350
00:30:57,875 --> 00:30:59,042
Just like you.
351
00:30:59,834 --> 00:31:01,126
Like me?
352
00:31:01,209 --> 00:31:02,209
Yes you.
353
00:31:03,042 --> 00:31:04,084
You are different.
354
00:31:07,792 --> 00:31:08,875
Thank you.
355
00:31:11,251 --> 00:31:12,959
Happy birthday!
356
00:31:15,583 --> 00:31:16,834
Adrienne!
357
00:31:19,875 --> 00:31:20,917
Coming!
358
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,418
Hurry, everyone is waiting.
359
00:32:12,167 --> 00:32:13,542
- Good evening.
- Good evening.
360
00:32:16,917 --> 00:32:18,209
Come inside.
361
00:32:26,042 --> 00:32:28,209
- Sit down.
- No thanks.
362
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:48,292
I have read your book.
363
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:51,834
Adrienne.
364
00:32:51,917 --> 00:32:52,834
Yes?
365
00:32:54,834 --> 00:32:56,084
Why are you here?
366
00:33:00,418 --> 00:33:01,500
The second day-
367
00:33:01,583 --> 00:33:03,376
… was a misunderstanding.
368
00:33:03,459 --> 00:33:04,625
I'm sorry about that.
369
00:33:04,709 --> 00:33:09,126
No. I mean, yes.
I'm the one who's upset.
370
00:33:09,209 --> 00:33:10,542
So we both are.
371
00:33:12,251 --> 00:33:14,542
- Are you kidding me?
- No, not at all.
372
00:33:15,625 --> 00:33:16,834
You are very…
373
00:33:21,251 --> 00:33:22,376
charming.
374
00:33:24,376 --> 00:33:25,459
Charming?
375
00:33:25,542 --> 00:33:28,209
Look, other birthdays are coming
376
00:33:28,292 --> 00:33:30,542
with music and ice cream.
377
00:33:30,625 --> 00:33:34,000
And another man, a
other hero who is "different".
378
00:33:34,084 --> 00:33:37,126
You want to play games and be,
what are you...
379
00:33:37,209 --> 00:33:39,084
a charming spoiled child.
380
00:33:41,126 --> 00:33:42,459
Is that what you think of me?
381
00:33:45,376 --> 00:33:46,625
I don't want to play.
382
00:34:04,750 --> 00:34:05,792
Adrienne!
383
00:34:09,084 --> 00:34:10,251
Adrienne!
384
00:34:11,292 --> 00:34:12,418
what are you doing
385
00:34:14,209 --> 00:34:15,418
I'm playing.
386
00:35:29,126 --> 00:35:30,209
I'm sorry about that.
387
00:35:36,418 --> 00:35:37,667
Here, come on.
388
00:37:49,583 --> 00:37:53,209
Spice this up with
balconies and galleries,
389
00:37:53,292 --> 00:37:54,625
but do not change the shape.
390
00:38:07,251 --> 00:38:11,209
have you seen
A double page about you in the newspaper.
391
00:38:11,292 --> 00:38:12,500
Well done.
392
00:38:12,583 --> 00:38:13,459
Bravo?
393
00:38:13,542 --> 00:38:15,583
You build a giant tower, not me.
394
00:38:16,376 --> 00:38:17,459
Thanks, then.
395
00:38:18,209 --> 00:38:21,126
Him too?
What did I promise him?
396
00:38:22,292 --> 00:38:24,667
Are you bribing them to write about me?
397
00:38:24,750 --> 00:38:26,792
Whatever it takes.
And that's not the half.
398
00:38:27,875 --> 00:38:29,126
We win the competition.
399
00:38:30,418 --> 00:38:33,500
Alphand is with,
but there are other councillors.
400
00:38:34,209 --> 00:38:36,583
My tailor is the best in Paris.
401
00:38:36,667 --> 00:38:37,750
They will love you.
402
00:38:37,834 --> 00:38:39,750
The council is all men.
403
00:38:39,834 --> 00:38:41,334
Who listen to their wives.
404
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,959
I'm just a man with an idea,
who is greater than himself.
405
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,750
I only ask of you
to let me breathe life into it.
406
00:38:57,625 --> 00:38:58,875
This tower, gentlemen,
407
00:38:59,459 --> 00:39:02,167
is not a man's glory
or his reputation.
408
00:39:02,251 --> 00:39:03,625
It's Paris.
409
00:39:04,500 --> 00:39:05,625
Its international influence.
410
00:39:06,334 --> 00:39:07,875
Its place in the world.
411
00:39:07,959 --> 00:39:09,792
Maybe even its soul.
412
00:39:09,875 --> 00:39:14,376
Imagine a tower that reaches
up to the sky. For all to see.
413
00:39:14,459 --> 00:39:17,167
A tower that defies
gravity, the elements,
414
00:39:17,251 --> 00:39:19,084
our modest
human condition.
415
00:39:19,167 --> 00:39:20,709
This tower, gentlemen,
416
00:39:21,542 --> 00:39:23,542
is the restored trust
417
00:39:23,625 --> 00:39:25,667
in a nation that is proud
418
00:39:25,750 --> 00:39:27,251
after bloodshed and tears.
419
00:39:31,750 --> 00:39:35,667
You are not afraid of this
colossus can scare tourists?
420
00:39:36,625 --> 00:39:37,667
Conversely.
421
00:39:38,459 --> 00:39:41,750
Tourists from Europe and the
new world will flock to Paris.
422
00:39:42,625 --> 00:39:45,042
In addition, you will be able to eat
423
00:39:45,792 --> 00:39:46,959
and even dance.
424
00:39:47,667 --> 00:39:49,542
What about the soil?
425
00:39:49,625 --> 00:39:53,792
So close to the Seine can your wonder
sink and endanger the area.
426
00:39:53,875 --> 00:39:55,418
Yes.
427
00:39:56,292 --> 00:39:57,875
I understand your concern.
428
00:39:58,959 --> 00:40:02,042
In my early career, for
20 years ago in Bordeaux,
429
00:40:02,126 --> 00:40:04,625
constituted a metal bridge
the same challenge.
430
00:40:04,709 --> 00:40:08,209
So we invented air boxes.
431
00:40:08,292 --> 00:40:09,959
Yes, we tested the soil.
432
00:40:10,709 --> 00:40:14,583
On the one hand, it is limestone.
But at the river, you're right.
433
00:40:14,667 --> 00:40:17,084
It was the former river bed.
434
00:40:17,167 --> 00:40:19,500
Mud without a solid foundation.
435
00:40:19,583 --> 00:40:21,042
So we make one.
436
00:40:21,126 --> 00:40:23,376
This is where the caissons come in.
437
00:40:25,625 --> 00:40:27,834
The box sinks as you dig,
438
00:40:28,583 --> 00:40:30,042
and the water rises.
439
00:40:31,334 --> 00:40:35,000
You inject compressed air through a shaft,
440
00:40:35,583 --> 00:40:38,167
and the pressure drives the water back.
441
00:40:39,418 --> 00:40:43,042
You continue to
dig and remove gravel,
442
00:40:43,126 --> 00:40:45,834
and then cements
you the foundation.
443
00:40:45,917 --> 00:40:49,667
This technique provides
a perfectly stable anchor,
444
00:40:49,750 --> 00:40:53,167
regardless of the ground or
the weight of the work.
445
00:40:53,251 --> 00:40:55,750
And of course there is no danger.
446
00:40:57,667 --> 00:40:59,251
Never had a problem.
447
00:40:59,334 --> 00:41:02,959
Gentlemen,
a model is waiting below.
448
00:41:03,042 --> 00:41:06,209
You will see the tower's
resilience and strength.
449
00:41:15,042 --> 00:41:17,042
So you worked in Bordeaux?
450
00:41:17,126 --> 00:41:19,376
Yes.
The time it took to build a bridge.
451
00:41:19,459 --> 00:41:21,625
- How old were you?
- Twenty-six, twenty-eight.
452
00:41:21,709 --> 00:41:24,376
You probably met Adriennes
family, the Bourgès?
453
00:41:27,334 --> 00:41:28,251
No.
454
00:41:28,792 --> 00:41:30,042
- That doesn't mean anything to me.
- Yes.
455
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:34,959
keep your distance
just in case.
456
00:41:36,834 --> 00:41:38,042
Please go'.
457
00:41:39,792 --> 00:41:44,167
Lightning rods penetrate
the water table, and lightning has no effect.
458
00:41:45,042 --> 00:41:48,750
This copper will conduct
electricity into the ground.
459
00:41:49,500 --> 00:41:51,792
It goes all the way down the tower.
460
00:41:53,542 --> 00:41:55,500
Now for wind resistance.
461
00:41:56,667 --> 00:41:57,583
Go.
462
00:41:58,126 --> 00:42:01,667
This beam responds
to 350 kilometer wind.
463
00:42:02,376 --> 00:42:06,292
The grid dragons
is designed to provide the tower
464
00:42:06,376 --> 00:42:07,500
an effective wind resistance.
465
00:42:09,583 --> 00:42:11,834
Please note the curved posts.
466
00:42:12,750 --> 00:42:15,459
As if they were shaped by the wind.
467
00:42:15,542 --> 00:42:19,583
This curvature is what
absorbs wind shear.
468
00:42:20,542 --> 00:42:24,583
All pieces will stay
prefabricated here in our studio
469
00:42:24,667 --> 00:42:26,126
in Levallois-Perret.
470
00:42:26,209 --> 00:42:28,042
The columns are built separately.
471
00:42:28,126 --> 00:42:31,583
How will you assemble the four legs
472
00:42:31,667 --> 00:42:33,542
60 meters off the ground?
473
00:42:33,625 --> 00:42:34,959
Very good question.
474
00:42:35,750 --> 00:42:38,792
And the hardest part
of our project. See here.
475
00:42:42,542 --> 00:42:43,500
Come closer.
476
00:42:44,917 --> 00:42:47,251
Each column has one
hydraulic jack, and
477
00:42:47,334 --> 00:42:50,000
each rafter is supported
of piston struts.
478
00:42:50,792 --> 00:42:52,084
Empty the sand above...
479
00:42:54,542 --> 00:42:55,667
the column bends.
480
00:42:56,376 --> 00:42:57,959
Activate the stamp below...
481
00:42:58,792 --> 00:42:59,875
the pillar rises.
482
00:43:00,583 --> 00:43:03,709
We can adjust it
horizontal and vertical plane.
483
00:43:05,917 --> 00:43:08,000
When the cross struts are aligned,
484
00:43:08,084 --> 00:43:10,042
we have our 1st level.
485
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:12,209
There is always a solution.
486
00:43:12,292 --> 00:43:14,459
Life taught me to avoid surprises.
487
00:43:44,459 --> 00:43:47,625
Another 300 meter guillotine
to represent the Republic.
488
00:43:47,709 --> 00:43:49,084
Terrifying.
489
00:43:49,167 --> 00:43:50,334
It required courage.
490
00:43:53,251 --> 00:43:54,792
I like the military hospital.
491
00:43:57,834 --> 00:43:58,959
Very fine.
492
00:44:04,917 --> 00:44:07,834
One more globe
the world exhibition seems logical.
493
00:44:08,500 --> 00:44:10,667
- Not very elegant, but why not?
- Hmm.
494
00:44:11,959 --> 00:44:15,167
Now this is...... remarkable.
495
00:44:15,251 --> 00:44:16,875
Save Paris from it.
496
00:44:20,834 --> 00:44:21,959
The famous lighthouse.
497
00:44:23,667 --> 00:44:25,000
His main competitor.
498
00:44:25,084 --> 00:44:26,251
Also very beautiful.
499
00:44:27,251 --> 00:44:28,667
There he is.
500
00:44:28,750 --> 00:44:29,834
Gustave.
501
00:44:33,167 --> 00:44:35,292
Even Adrienne is nervous.
502
00:44:35,376 --> 00:44:37,000
The wait is terrible.
503
00:44:38,959 --> 00:44:41,583
Meet Claire,
my daughter and business partner.
504
00:44:41,667 --> 00:44:42,500
Hello.
505
00:44:42,583 --> 00:44:45,251
- You must be proud of your father.
- Often.
506
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:47,542
I am always proud of her.
507
00:44:48,792 --> 00:44:50,542
You're lovely, Claire.
508
00:44:51,334 --> 00:44:53,418
- Can I call you Claire?
- Of course.
509
00:44:54,334 --> 00:44:58,209
Your rival is Bourdais.
The president loves his Trocadéro palace.
510
00:44:58,292 --> 00:44:59,875
- Hello.
- Hello.
511
00:44:59,959 --> 00:45:01,792
Is it fired he likes?
512
00:45:01,875 --> 00:45:04,000
You can also add one.
513
00:45:05,583 --> 00:45:06,750
Shall I get some champagne?
514
00:45:06,834 --> 00:45:09,126
Not yet.
It will bring bad luck.
515
00:45:09,209 --> 00:45:10,583
Ladies and gentlemen,
516
00:45:10,667 --> 00:45:13,500
the jury will now announce its verdict.
517
00:45:13,583 --> 00:45:14,667
Let's go.
518
00:45:19,376 --> 00:45:21,500
It won't be long, don't worry.
519
00:45:44,667 --> 00:45:46,667
Ladies and gentlemen…
520
00:45:49,292 --> 00:45:51,376
members of the jury
521
00:45:52,126 --> 00:45:54,000
have studied the projects
522
00:45:54,084 --> 00:45:57,084
in the competition for
the world exhibition
523
00:45:57,709 --> 00:46:00,042
with the greatest attention.
524
00:46:01,875 --> 00:46:03,292
The winner is…
525
00:46:04,625 --> 00:46:06,667
by nine votes to four,
526
00:46:08,583 --> 00:46:10,750
the 300 meter high tower
527
00:46:10,834 --> 00:46:13,418
presented by the Eiffel Company.
528
00:46:18,959 --> 00:46:19,834
Well done.
529
00:46:25,167 --> 00:46:26,084
Well done.
530
00:46:27,750 --> 00:46:28,834
Thank you.
531
00:46:30,792 --> 00:46:33,167
Thank you. Thank you.
532
00:46:41,084 --> 00:46:42,418
This victory is yours!
533
00:46:42,500 --> 00:46:47,126
Thanks to you we have achieved
unrivaled experience worldwide.
534
00:46:47,209 --> 00:46:50,126
A project like this
has never been attempted.
535
00:46:50,209 --> 00:46:54,167
Your children will proudly remember,
that you were a part of it.
536
00:46:54,251 --> 00:46:56,834
Let's build a dream together!
537
00:46:59,709 --> 00:47:01,875
- Where is the new boy?
- Here!
538
00:47:01,959 --> 00:47:03,418
You will be in charge of crew.
539
00:47:03,500 --> 00:47:06,084
- We need at least 1,000 men.
- 300.
540
00:47:06,167 --> 00:47:10,667
Fitters and carpenters,
line dancers, watchdogs...
541
00:47:10,750 --> 00:47:13,542
hard working men,
who are not afraid of heights.
542
00:47:13,625 --> 00:47:14,875
Nouguier!
543
00:47:14,959 --> 00:47:19,042
Let engineers from four different
schools redo the calculations.
544
00:47:19,126 --> 00:47:20,667
I don't want trouble.
545
00:47:21,667 --> 00:47:25,542
I want life size templates
and a 1:100 scale model in the office.
546
00:47:25,625 --> 00:47:27,792
I'd rather solve problems here.
547
00:47:29,875 --> 00:47:34,084
Safety is the priority. Protection
against falling tools, cold and wind.
548
00:47:34,167 --> 00:47:36,234
I don't want any deaths on the construction site!
549
00:47:37,251 --> 00:47:38,625
Come on, boys.
550
00:47:38,709 --> 00:47:39,750
Let's get started.
551
00:49:11,084 --> 00:49:13,959
Eiffel! Start the dance.
552
00:49:41,418 --> 00:49:42,625
Lady?
553
00:49:54,625 --> 00:49:55,792
Oh yes.
554
00:50:25,209 --> 00:50:26,542
People are watching us.
555
00:50:38,750 --> 00:50:40,126
Please talk to me.
556
00:50:44,292 --> 00:50:45,750
Are your parents well?
557
00:50:47,875 --> 00:50:49,042
I have no idea.
558
00:50:50,251 --> 00:50:51,542
I never see them.
559
00:50:51,625 --> 00:50:52,792
And your tower?
560
00:50:55,251 --> 00:50:56,376
There is work.
561
00:51:21,834 --> 00:51:23,000
I have missed you.
562
00:51:34,875 --> 00:51:35,917
You are shaking.
563
00:51:53,667 --> 00:51:56,667
There is an inn in Batignolles.
"Les Acacias."
564
00:51:56,750 --> 00:51:57,667
Hold up.
565
00:51:58,334 --> 00:51:59,750
- Come on now.
- Stop it!
566
00:51:59,834 --> 00:52:01,792
- Meet me there.
- That's enough.
567
00:52:03,542 --> 00:52:04,459
I have a life.
568
00:52:05,084 --> 00:52:06,126
I have a husband.
569
00:52:07,667 --> 00:52:08,959
That's the past, Gustave.
570
00:52:39,376 --> 00:52:40,917
I'm hungry!
571
00:52:43,251 --> 00:52:44,917
- Isn't there anything else?
- No.
572
00:52:45,542 --> 00:52:47,000
- Aren't they good?
- No.
573
00:52:50,334 --> 00:52:52,000
One day I will give you everything
what you want.
574
00:52:52,625 --> 00:52:54,209
- What do you want?
- Everything.
575
00:52:54,292 --> 00:52:55,583
- Everything? - Mm- hmm.
576
00:52:55,667 --> 00:52:56,750
All.
577
00:53:00,459 --> 00:53:02,334
- I will marry you.
- Me too.
578
00:53:17,625 --> 00:53:18,792
Watch your head!
579
00:53:18,875 --> 00:53:21,084
What if the caisson sinks too quickly?
580
00:53:21,167 --> 00:53:23,042
There is no danger.
581
00:53:23,126 --> 00:53:25,750
You just remove the soil faster.
582
00:53:25,834 --> 00:53:27,042
Everything okay, boys?
583
00:53:32,376 --> 00:53:35,334
The Seine poles are almost finished.
584
00:53:36,126 --> 00:53:38,042
Terrible to the ears!
585
00:53:39,209 --> 00:53:40,667
It's the air pressure.
586
00:53:41,251 --> 00:53:43,251
The water is rising!
587
00:53:48,084 --> 00:53:49,959
More air pressure. Hang in there!
588
00:53:54,792 --> 00:53:56,209
Keep an eye out!
589
00:54:10,042 --> 00:54:11,376
Quick, buckets!
590
00:54:23,459 --> 00:54:25,376
We are good. It goes down.
591
00:54:28,084 --> 00:54:30,251
It's alright. Come now.
592
00:54:30,334 --> 00:54:34,042
Not very reassuring.
I have received letters of complaint.
593
00:54:34,126 --> 00:54:36,959
Concerned citizens.
We cannot ignore them.
594
00:54:37,042 --> 00:54:39,209
I have heard it.
Let them talk.
595
00:54:39,292 --> 00:54:41,542
My boxes are not coffins.
596
00:54:41,625 --> 00:54:43,750
Can we go back up?
597
00:54:43,834 --> 00:54:45,042
Of course. This way.
598
00:54:45,917 --> 00:54:46,792
Step aside.
599
00:54:46,875 --> 00:54:48,792
Remove the lamp and rope.
600
00:54:48,875 --> 00:54:50,251
We're coming up!
601
00:54:50,334 --> 00:54:51,542
- You first.
- Thank you.
602
00:54:52,542 --> 00:54:53,418
Thanks, boys.
603
00:54:56,084 --> 00:54:57,792
Are you okay, Rene?
604
00:54:58,583 --> 00:54:59,542
You go up too.
605
00:55:00,459 --> 00:55:01,834
That's good, Mr. Minister.
606
00:55:12,875 --> 00:55:14,084
Thank God.
607
00:55:15,625 --> 00:55:17,042
It's nicer outside.
608
00:55:18,459 --> 00:55:19,709
Look, journalists.
609
00:55:20,542 --> 00:55:21,750
Everything is fine!
610
00:55:23,167 --> 00:55:24,459
Great visit!
611
00:55:25,376 --> 00:55:26,625
Wonderful!
612
00:55:28,750 --> 00:55:30,500
Well done. Well done, Eiffel.
613
00:55:30,583 --> 00:55:31,709
Magnificent.
614
00:55:31,792 --> 00:55:34,625
Fabulous. Fabulous.
615
00:57:26,084 --> 00:57:27,251
"The street lamp of shame."
616
00:57:28,126 --> 00:57:29,126
"An eyeball."
617
00:57:30,959 --> 00:57:32,334
I'm unpopular.
618
00:57:34,167 --> 00:57:35,209
Just a shame.
619
00:57:35,292 --> 00:57:38,583
Residents demand
that we take everything down.
620
00:57:38,667 --> 00:57:39,625
I don't care.
621
00:57:39,709 --> 00:57:43,583
They count the number of deaths,
when the tower collapses.
622
00:57:44,667 --> 00:57:47,000
We show the drawings for our work.
623
00:57:47,084 --> 00:57:48,418
It will calm them down.
624
00:57:49,292 --> 00:57:51,709
- Finish the cut-outs of the cross brace.
- Yes
625
00:57:51,792 --> 00:57:52,750
Goodbye.
626
00:57:52,834 --> 00:57:55,126
The men are demanding pay rises.
627
00:57:55,209 --> 00:57:58,834
- Impossible!
- They can strike. It gets risky.
628
00:57:58,917 --> 00:58:00,418
They knew it from the start.
629
00:58:00,500 --> 00:58:02,209
Now it's first hand.
630
00:58:02,292 --> 00:58:04,625
The scared men
working on the ground.
631
00:58:04,709 --> 00:58:08,792
A 20-day strike, and we
demolishes everything at his own expense.
632
00:58:08,875 --> 00:58:10,625
- And there is more.
- What?
633
00:58:10,709 --> 00:58:13,042
- The Vatican is sorry.
- Wonderful!
634
00:58:13,126 --> 00:58:17,334
The Pope says that the tower
overshadows Notre-Dame.
635
00:58:17,418 --> 00:58:19,459
We bring them closer to God.
636
00:58:19,542 --> 00:58:21,459
All Paris is against us.
637
00:58:21,542 --> 00:58:23,709
Artists sign
a signature collection.
638
00:58:23,792 --> 00:58:24,750
Artists!
639
00:58:24,834 --> 00:58:28,334
They think we can't make
something solid and aesthetic?
640
00:58:28,418 --> 00:58:29,792
What does Restac do?
641
00:58:29,875 --> 00:58:31,792
Isn't that his job?
642
00:58:31,875 --> 00:58:33,917
Our publicity and reputation?
643
00:58:34,750 --> 00:58:36,625
Up to level 1 we pay.
644
00:58:36,709 --> 00:58:38,500
- What should I say?
- Buy time.
645
00:59:08,709 --> 00:59:11,042
I want you.
646
00:59:11,126 --> 00:59:12,834
- Mother could see us.
- Namely.
647
00:59:13,500 --> 00:59:15,834
Hold up! Take it here. Shh.
648
00:59:16,376 --> 00:59:18,625
Can you water the begonias?
649
00:59:19,167 --> 00:59:20,418
Right there.
650
00:59:20,500 --> 00:59:21,959
- With pleasure.
- Mmm.
651
00:59:23,917 --> 00:59:25,500
You do that well.
652
00:59:45,959 --> 00:59:47,084
i love you
653
00:59:50,792 --> 00:59:51,917
Oh!
654
00:59:53,376 --> 00:59:54,834
Gustav!
655
01:00:09,042 --> 01:00:11,042
INTRANSIGENT
656
01:00:14,583 --> 01:00:19,126
ANGRY CITIZENS TRAVEL
SAY AGAINST THE EIFFEL TOWER
657
01:00:59,667 --> 01:01:01,000
Is everything ok sir?
658
01:01:01,084 --> 01:01:02,542
Yes. Thank you, Honorine.
659
01:01:58,667 --> 01:02:03,625
EIFFEL, A DEVIL OVER PARIS
660
01:02:16,500 --> 01:02:17,959
Your tower scares them.
661
01:02:18,542 --> 01:02:20,000
You scare them.
662
01:02:20,084 --> 01:02:22,917
Even your husbands are afraid.
I read that.
663
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:25,084
The press is no longer with me.
664
01:02:26,376 --> 01:02:27,750
We have to do something.
665
01:02:31,709 --> 01:02:32,750
Antoine.
666
01:02:34,459 --> 01:02:36,625
The press could reassure people.
667
01:02:36,709 --> 01:02:39,500
And the banks. I need to reach level 1.
668
01:02:39,583 --> 01:02:40,917
And if you don't?
669
01:02:41,792 --> 01:02:43,042
Then it's all over.
670
01:02:43,126 --> 01:02:45,126
Funds will be blocked. I'm done.
671
01:02:45,209 --> 01:02:47,042
- You are probably exaggerating.
- No.
672
01:02:47,959 --> 01:02:49,834
You knew it was risky.
673
01:02:49,917 --> 01:02:50,750
Dung.
674
01:02:52,625 --> 01:02:54,000
What is happening?
675
01:02:59,334 --> 01:03:00,542
I don't understand.
676
01:03:02,167 --> 01:03:03,709
It's the first time.
677
01:03:04,792 --> 01:03:06,875
Never had problems before.
678
01:03:06,959 --> 01:03:08,209
Will it restart?
679
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:10,126
I hope so.
680
01:03:10,834 --> 01:03:12,000
Otherwise we will be too late.
681
01:03:15,667 --> 01:03:18,084
Do you think you could start it for me?
682
01:03:21,750 --> 01:03:22,792
Yes.
683
01:03:28,126 --> 01:03:29,209
It's in front.
684
01:03:53,376 --> 01:03:54,542
No, nothing.
685
01:03:57,542 --> 01:03:59,084
Can you try again, harder?
686
01:04:53,292 --> 01:04:54,709
That was it. They are on strike.
687
01:04:55,583 --> 01:04:58,209
We never last. Never.
688
01:04:58,292 --> 01:04:59,209
You already told me.
689
01:04:59,875 --> 01:05:02,084
Go now.
I need to be alone.
690
01:05:02,167 --> 01:05:03,209
Please be kind.
691
01:05:25,792 --> 01:05:30,084
Let me congratulate you.
The bridge is a success, boy.
692
01:05:30,167 --> 01:05:31,792
And we met the deadline.
693
01:05:31,875 --> 01:05:35,459
I'm going now. I need a good photo.
Elections are coming soon!
694
01:05:35,542 --> 01:05:36,709
That's right.
695
01:05:36,792 --> 01:05:39,251
- Is Bourgès here?
- Hurry up, everyone is ready.
696
01:05:39,875 --> 01:05:42,750
We can't take
the picture without Bourgès.
697
01:05:45,459 --> 01:05:47,209
What's wrong? Where are they?
698
01:05:48,376 --> 01:05:49,542
I'm sorry, Eiffel.
699
01:06:04,834 --> 01:06:06,209
Where is Adrienne?
700
01:06:06,292 --> 01:06:07,583
She left.
701
01:06:08,167 --> 01:06:10,334
Traveled? I don't understand.
702
01:06:14,376 --> 01:06:16,459
You didn't get it from the start.
703
01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:20,000
You have denied reality,
like others.
704
01:06:25,126 --> 01:06:26,709
She doesn't want to marry you.
705
01:06:27,500 --> 01:06:29,042
She was afraid to tell you.
706
01:06:34,209 --> 01:06:35,418
It no longer amuses her.
707
01:06:46,126 --> 01:06:47,667
You don't believe me?
708
01:06:47,750 --> 01:06:49,000
Adrienne!
709
01:06:49,084 --> 01:06:50,209
Adrienne!
710
01:06:53,709 --> 01:06:55,292
Continue. Scrub off.
711
01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:13,126
Let's go.
712
01:07:33,376 --> 01:07:34,500
I will wait for her.
713
01:07:37,583 --> 01:07:38,667
Tell her…
714
01:07:41,667 --> 01:07:42,792
I'm waiting.
715
01:10:50,376 --> 01:10:51,959
You are 20 years late.
716
01:11:02,167 --> 01:11:03,167
Are you ready?
717
01:11:03,251 --> 01:11:04,376
Gustave is waiting.
718
01:11:05,042 --> 01:11:06,750
You make me dizzy.
719
01:11:07,875 --> 01:11:10,583
I've got an idea.
We are getting married in Italy.
720
01:11:14,667 --> 01:11:15,834
You have nothing to say?
721
01:11:16,625 --> 01:11:17,583
Mother.
722
01:11:18,126 --> 01:11:19,959
How does Italy sound?
723
01:11:20,042 --> 01:11:21,709
Adrienne, honey...
724
01:11:21,792 --> 01:11:23,750
There will be no wedding.
725
01:11:25,583 --> 01:11:27,251
Not in Italy or elsewhere.
726
01:11:28,000 --> 01:11:30,418
Your mother and I have thought about it.
727
01:11:30,959 --> 01:11:32,500
You can't marry this guy.
728
01:11:39,334 --> 01:11:40,292
"This guy"?
729
01:11:41,625 --> 01:11:45,126
Honestly dear,
you deserve better.
730
01:11:45,209 --> 01:11:46,376
You know it.
731
01:11:47,126 --> 01:11:50,251
He is not...
I mean, we're not…
732
01:11:51,792 --> 01:11:52,917
You understand.
733
01:11:54,209 --> 01:11:56,334
I'm expecting "this guy's" baby.
734
01:12:03,418 --> 01:12:05,126
I am carrying Gustave's child.
735
01:12:06,084 --> 01:12:08,209
I was going to tell him today.
736
01:12:08,792 --> 01:12:10,167
Go into your room.
737
01:12:11,459 --> 01:12:12,667
Right now!
738
01:12:17,834 --> 01:12:18,875
Adrienne!
739
01:12:19,875 --> 01:12:21,251
Adrienne!
740
01:12:26,376 --> 01:12:27,418
Adrienne!
741
01:12:27,500 --> 01:12:29,709
No! No!
742
01:12:29,792 --> 01:12:30,917
Adrienne!
743
01:12:35,709 --> 01:12:37,084
Don't do it!
744
01:12:37,167 --> 01:12:38,418
Come back down!
745
01:13:24,251 --> 01:13:25,459
Forgive me.
746
01:13:29,709 --> 01:13:30,834
Forgive me.
747
01:13:39,126 --> 01:13:40,418
We were going to get married.
748
01:13:45,292 --> 01:13:47,875
A child would have been a lovely gift.
749
01:16:06,917 --> 01:16:08,459
I wish we could stay here.
750
01:16:09,209 --> 01:16:10,251
Forever.
751
01:16:12,126 --> 01:16:13,792
In the grass?
752
01:16:14,583 --> 01:16:15,750
Happy, in the grass.
753
01:16:18,750 --> 01:16:19,959
We would be bored.
754
01:16:21,542 --> 01:16:22,834
Our backs would hurt.
755
01:16:24,667 --> 01:16:25,583
And there are ants.
756
01:16:26,376 --> 01:16:27,376
You would be bored.
757
01:16:28,000 --> 01:16:28,959
You too.
758
01:16:29,792 --> 01:16:32,126
No rivers to jump in.
759
01:16:45,542 --> 01:16:46,834
He scares me.
760
01:16:53,583 --> 01:16:54,792
Did he say something?
761
01:16:55,583 --> 01:16:56,875
No, it's in his eyes.
762
01:16:58,875 --> 01:16:59,875
He knows it.
763
01:17:10,042 --> 01:17:11,500
We have decided.
764
01:17:11,583 --> 01:17:12,792
It is "no".
765
01:17:13,542 --> 01:17:15,251
We cannot afford failure.
766
01:17:15,875 --> 01:17:18,167
You aimed too big. Too loud.
767
01:17:18,251 --> 01:17:20,792
Too high for what?
768
01:17:20,875 --> 01:17:22,667
Nothing like my tower.
769
01:17:22,750 --> 01:17:25,542
We did a survey
and gave an accurate offer.
770
01:17:25,625 --> 01:17:28,418
With your logic
there would be no buildings.
771
01:17:28,500 --> 01:17:31,084
No cathedrals in Europe! It's absurd!
772
01:17:32,251 --> 01:17:34,709
My teams and materials are the best.
773
01:17:35,583 --> 01:17:37,542
I have experience all over the world.
774
01:17:37,625 --> 01:17:41,042
The robustness of the tower
is not the problem.
775
01:17:41,126 --> 01:17:42,792
It's about profitability.
776
01:17:42,875 --> 01:17:45,251
This tower will make money.
777
01:17:45,334 --> 01:17:48,792
- Thousands will come.
- Don't insist.
778
01:17:51,750 --> 01:17:52,667
Fine.
779
01:17:54,542 --> 01:17:57,042
Please close my accounts.
780
01:17:59,459 --> 01:18:01,542
- Which ones?
- All of them.
781
01:18:02,542 --> 01:18:04,667
Personal and company.
782
01:18:08,042 --> 01:18:11,126
Gentlemen, see you on inauguration day.
783
01:18:16,459 --> 01:18:17,583
Goodbye.
784
01:18:20,251 --> 01:18:24,500
- Our other backers will not be enough.
- I know what I'm doing.
785
01:18:24,583 --> 01:18:27,167
I'm the CFO, you know.
786
01:18:27,709 --> 01:18:29,709
Not your personal wealth.
787
01:18:30,542 --> 01:18:34,167
Mortgage everything?
The house, the company...
788
01:18:34,251 --> 01:18:35,917
Gustave, not the patents?
789
01:18:36,000 --> 01:18:39,042
I will finish
though I am in debt for life.
790
01:18:39,667 --> 01:18:40,625
It's madness.
791
01:18:47,292 --> 01:18:48,834
They are lying to us!
792
01:18:48,917 --> 01:18:50,709
Hear, hear!
793
01:18:50,792 --> 01:18:53,000
We didn't get a penny!
794
01:18:53,084 --> 01:18:54,042
That's right!
795
01:18:54,126 --> 01:18:55,834
And now this!
796
01:18:55,917 --> 01:18:59,292
Here's what's going on.
Formal announcement!
797
01:18:59,376 --> 01:19:03,000
We will reach level 1 in two months,
or we pack it together.
798
01:19:04,500 --> 01:19:05,792
He's right!
799
01:19:07,126 --> 01:19:08,292
He's right.
800
01:19:08,376 --> 01:19:09,750
Yes, you are right.
801
01:19:10,376 --> 01:19:13,251
I can't give any raises right now.
802
01:19:13,334 --> 01:19:16,292
But we don't have to
two months,
803
01:19:16,376 --> 01:19:17,334
only two weeks!
804
01:19:19,209 --> 01:19:21,583
- How?
- One crane for each column.
805
01:19:22,167 --> 01:19:24,583
Set up on the elevator track of the future.
806
01:19:25,418 --> 01:19:26,459
In two weeks we will be done.
807
01:19:26,542 --> 01:19:27,917
What about us?
808
01:19:28,000 --> 01:19:29,042
Yes!
809
01:19:29,126 --> 01:19:31,667
"Us" is you and me!
810
01:19:31,750 --> 01:19:34,167
We are in this together.
811
01:19:34,875 --> 01:19:37,251
I cannot increase your salary today,
812
01:19:37,334 --> 01:19:38,625
but i will do it!
813
01:19:38,709 --> 01:19:40,792
What about our security?
814
01:19:43,209 --> 01:19:44,376
Security!
815
01:19:44,459 --> 01:19:46,834
Let's get to it
cursed level 1,
816
01:19:46,917 --> 01:19:49,667
and I will double your wages.
How does that sound?
817
01:19:53,126 --> 01:19:54,292
This tower
818
01:19:55,084 --> 01:19:56,667
is the tower of France.
819
01:19:56,750 --> 01:19:58,084
But above all…
820
01:19:59,167 --> 01:20:00,459
…is it yours!
821
01:20:01,126 --> 01:20:02,500
Our!
822
01:20:02,583 --> 01:20:04,084
We started together
823
01:20:04,167 --> 01:20:06,500
we join together.
824
01:21:27,334 --> 01:21:28,583
Step aside.
825
01:21:29,625 --> 01:21:30,750
Keep going, Felix.
826
01:21:31,709 --> 01:21:33,084
Be careful.
827
01:21:57,583 --> 01:21:58,418
Dung!
828
01:21:59,625 --> 01:22:01,500
Three centimeters short.
829
01:22:03,167 --> 01:22:04,334
Megaphone. The megaphone.
830
01:22:08,042 --> 01:22:09,875
Can you hear me down there?
831
01:22:11,500 --> 01:22:13,000
Three centimeters!
832
01:22:35,334 --> 01:22:36,292
Keep going, Felix!
833
01:22:47,459 --> 01:22:49,042
16 millimeters too low.
834
01:22:52,834 --> 01:22:54,042
Don't move.
835
01:22:59,459 --> 01:23:01,000
The press, do you hear me?
836
01:23:02,126 --> 01:23:03,542
The press!
837
01:23:05,875 --> 01:23:07,209
Yes!
838
01:23:08,167 --> 01:23:09,750
Three degrees!
839
01:23:10,625 --> 01:23:12,084
Three degrees.
840
01:23:12,709 --> 01:23:15,042
Come now. Come now.
841
01:23:16,126 --> 01:23:17,251
Come on, boys.
842
01:23:43,167 --> 01:23:44,251
Try again, Felix.
843
01:24:02,500 --> 01:24:03,709
We are good!
844
01:24:12,792 --> 01:24:14,126
Well done, men!
845
01:24:17,167 --> 01:24:18,251
Well done!
846
01:24:29,251 --> 01:24:33,376
We reached our level 1.
From here it is 20 meters per month.
847
01:24:33,459 --> 01:24:35,542
We continue. Bravo, to you.
848
01:25:55,500 --> 01:25:56,667
Careful.
849
01:26:24,959 --> 01:26:26,500
You look at your tower…
850
01:26:29,750 --> 01:26:31,042
like a man in love.
851
01:26:33,792 --> 01:26:35,084
Are you jealous?
852
01:27:02,792 --> 01:27:04,084
I will tell him.
853
01:27:09,709 --> 01:27:11,126
I wanted to say this.
854
01:27:33,917 --> 01:27:35,000
i love you
855
01:28:27,792 --> 01:28:29,167
Say something, Antoine.
856
01:28:50,251 --> 01:28:52,334
Why didn't you tell me then?
857
01:29:01,792 --> 01:29:02,834
The scandal.
858
01:29:03,418 --> 01:29:04,875
Did you think about it?
859
01:29:06,042 --> 01:29:07,583
I don't care.
860
01:29:07,667 --> 01:29:08,834
Maybe you don't
861
01:29:10,167 --> 01:29:11,209
but him?
862
01:29:13,625 --> 01:29:14,750
He loves me.
863
01:29:17,292 --> 01:29:18,542
I don't mean love.
864
01:29:20,292 --> 01:29:21,625
I mean reputation.
865
01:29:23,084 --> 01:29:24,167
And money.
866
01:29:26,418 --> 01:29:29,334
Gustave needs both
parts to his glorious career.
867
01:29:30,875 --> 01:29:32,209
And for his tower.
868
01:29:37,126 --> 01:29:41,167
The Council of Paris wishes
to withhold its funding,
869
01:29:41,251 --> 01:29:43,625
until he reaches level 2.
870
01:29:46,000 --> 01:29:47,542
You know they listen to me.
871
01:29:49,750 --> 01:29:51,042
I loathe you.
872
01:29:51,959 --> 01:29:53,334
Let go!
873
01:29:53,418 --> 01:29:55,376
While you loved
I dug up trash.
874
01:29:55,459 --> 01:29:58,500
I could bury his reputation
from one day to the next.
875
01:29:59,875 --> 01:30:01,000
let me go
876
01:30:01,792 --> 01:30:02,750
Think carefully.
877
01:30:42,709 --> 01:30:43,792
See, they love it.
878
01:30:44,500 --> 01:30:45,917
A cafeteria on site.
879
01:30:46,667 --> 01:30:48,418
- Practical.
- Efficient.
880
01:30:56,500 --> 01:30:58,459
I would like shades of white.
881
01:30:58,542 --> 01:31:00,042
Original for a wedding.
882
01:31:02,583 --> 01:31:04,292
With flowers in her hair.
883
01:31:04,376 --> 01:31:06,542
Or oak leaves.
Do you like them?
884
01:31:06,625 --> 01:31:07,750
Yes.
885
01:31:11,000 --> 01:31:12,459
Your mother loved you so much.
886
01:31:15,251 --> 01:31:16,251
I miss her.
887
01:31:21,583 --> 01:31:22,917
Honey, I have to tell you…
888
01:31:26,917 --> 01:31:28,209
I have met a woman.
889
01:31:31,500 --> 01:31:32,875
You will find she is...
890
01:31:36,418 --> 01:31:37,542
like no other.
891
01:31:42,917 --> 01:31:44,500
I want her to live with us.
892
01:31:45,709 --> 01:31:46,792
All of them.
893
01:31:48,625 --> 01:31:50,251
- What are you saying? - Uh huh.
894
01:31:50,334 --> 01:31:51,809
Will you help me to
tell your siblings?
895
01:31:55,709 --> 01:31:56,875
I am happy for you.
896
01:33:43,750 --> 01:33:46,418
I married
Adrienne when she was half dead.
897
01:33:50,000 --> 01:33:51,334
Her body torn up.
898
01:33:54,251 --> 01:33:55,376
And all alone.
899
01:33:59,042 --> 01:34:00,542
Even her parents rejected her.
900
01:34:05,625 --> 01:34:07,875
I didn't build towers or bridges,
901
01:34:09,917 --> 01:34:11,000
but i loved her.
902
01:34:14,000 --> 01:34:15,084
And I still do.
903
01:34:31,667 --> 01:34:32,792
Leave us, Gustave.
904
01:34:33,792 --> 01:34:35,167
You can't have it all.
905
01:34:42,042 --> 01:34:43,459
We leave Paris tonight.
906
01:34:49,126 --> 01:34:52,084
How much would you sacrifice for Adrienne?
907
01:34:52,167 --> 01:34:53,251
Antoine, stop.
908
01:34:53,959 --> 01:34:55,376
Would you give everything?
909
01:34:58,542 --> 01:34:59,583
And for that?
910
01:35:00,667 --> 01:35:03,583
You scandalous
garden art, Gustave.
911
01:35:03,667 --> 01:35:04,917
It is my decision.
912
01:35:08,583 --> 01:35:09,625
Not yours.
913
01:35:10,667 --> 01:35:11,709
Nor Antoine's.
914
01:35:16,834 --> 01:35:18,000
It is my decision.
915
01:36:42,084 --> 01:36:43,376
From today,
916
01:36:44,292 --> 01:36:46,209
replace the bolts with rivets.
917
01:36:48,000 --> 01:36:48,959
Okay.
918
01:36:50,459 --> 01:36:52,167
No one will ever take it down.
919
01:37:17,209 --> 01:37:18,917
No no no no!
920
01:37:19,625 --> 01:37:21,084
The spaces are too big!
921
01:37:21,875 --> 01:37:23,167
We can't use the cranes.
922
01:37:24,667 --> 01:37:25,625
Are you aware of that?
923
01:37:25,709 --> 01:37:27,126
Everything was perfect!
924
01:37:31,126 --> 01:37:33,500
Who made this blunder?
925
01:37:33,583 --> 01:37:34,792
Who did this?
926
01:37:35,667 --> 01:37:37,667
