THE DIARY OF A CHAMBERMAID

2
00:01:14,333 --> 00:01:18,167
variation on the eponymous novel
by Octave Mirbeau

3
00:01:25,500 --> 00:01:29,333
23 September

4
00:02:09,833 --> 00:02:11,333
Give me, please.

5
00:02:11,583 --> 00:02:12,583
Please!

6
00:02:13,750 --> 00:02:16,000
I've nothing! Sorry.

7
00:02:16,083 --> 00:02:17,833
Shut your fucking mouth!

8
00:02:20,917 --> 00:02:21,667
Janine!

9
00:02:21,833 --> 00:02:23,833
- How was your day?
- Great.

10
00:02:24,833 --> 00:02:27,583
I want an ice cream.
- We can't today.

11
00:02:27,750 --> 00:02:28,833
Why not?

12
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,667
We just can't.
I'll make you some food at home.

13
00:02:31,833 --> 00:02:33,750
- Can we play football?
- Not now.

14
00:02:34,500 --> 00:02:37,500
I wanted to play with the older kids.
They pushed me.

15
00:02:37,583 --> 00:02:38,833
I even fell over.

16
00:02:39,750 --> 00:02:40,833
That's life.

17
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,667
We're friends again now.

18
00:02:42,833 --> 00:02:46,083
Tomorrow's the birthday
of a girl at school...

19
00:03:06,917 --> 00:03:08,250
Janine!

20
00:03:08,917 --> 00:03:10,083
Yes?

21
00:03:10,083 --> 00:03:12,083
Come and tell me a story!

22
00:03:12,250 --> 00:03:14,000
You fucking snotty brat.

23
00:03:14,833 --> 00:03:16,833
Aren't you on your tablet?

24
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,833
No, it timed out and switched off.

25
00:03:20,833 --> 00:03:23,250
I can't right now. I'm cooking!

26
00:03:24,083 --> 00:03:26,583
Come on. You can do that later.

27
00:03:28,583 --> 00:03:30,500
Fuck you, motherfucker!

28
00:03:37,833 --> 00:03:41,750
25 September

29
00:03:45,750 --> 00:03:47,167
Hello!

30
00:03:48,083 --> 00:03:49,083
All good?

31
00:03:49,333 --> 00:03:50,583
How are you, Gianina?

32
00:03:50,833 --> 00:03:51,667
Just fine.

33
00:03:51,833 --> 00:03:53,667
Louen was very good today.

34
00:03:54,083 --> 00:03:56,417
I was cooking. I made Thai soup.

35
00:03:56,583 --> 00:03:57,750
Thai soup?

36
00:03:57,917 --> 00:03:59,083
Wonderful!

37
00:03:59,833 --> 00:04:02,000
- I just...
- Tom kha gai, is it?

38
00:04:02,167 --> 00:04:04,333
You're a real gem, you know.

39
00:04:04,583 --> 00:04:06,500
How did we get by without you?

40
00:04:07,333 --> 00:04:09,000
I just followed the recipe.

41
00:04:15,250 --> 00:04:16,333
- Very, very good.
- Good?

42
00:04:16,417 --> 00:04:18,000
Yes.

43
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,833
- Bravo!
- Thank you.

44
00:04:21,083 --> 00:04:22,833
You added something extra?

45
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:23,833
Not bad.

46
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,500
No, I followed the recipe
in your book.

47
00:04:26,583 --> 00:04:28,333
No, no, there's a...

48
00:04:28,500 --> 00:04:30,833
There's a dash of Romania, isn't there?

49
00:04:32,500 --> 00:04:33,500
It's wonderful.

50
00:04:33,583 --> 00:04:36,083
- You need to change the tablecloth.
- Yes.

51
00:04:36,500 --> 00:04:37,583
Something else...

52
00:04:37,917 --> 00:04:40,583
I tried to dust in the...

53
00:04:42,167 --> 00:04:44,417
What's it called?
With the dolls in it.

54
00:04:44,583 --> 00:04:46,083
With the dolls in it?

55
00:04:47,417 --> 00:04:48,583
And trinkets.

56
00:04:48,750 --> 00:04:51,167
- In there.
- No, hands off my Wunderkabinett.

57
00:04:51,333 --> 00:04:53,750
It's full of fragile and very rare items.

58
00:04:55,083 --> 00:04:57,500
Hands off the trinkets. Watch out!

59
00:04:58,167 --> 00:05:00,083
Like Diderot's jewels, hands off!

60
00:05:00,250 --> 00:05:01,333
It's bizarre.

61
00:05:01,583 --> 00:05:02,583
Yes, bizarre.

62
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,000
So I'm writing a book about it.

63
00:05:06,167 --> 00:05:07,583
Very interesting.

64
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,750
I'm also writing an essay
on Athanasius Kircher.

65
00:05:11,583 --> 00:05:12,583
Don't know him.

66
00:05:12,750 --> 00:05:15,583
A Jesuit.
A 17th-century German Jesuit.

67
00:05:15,750 --> 00:05:17,417
He was a man of adventure.

68
00:05:17,583 --> 00:05:19,667
He wrote a heap of books.

69
00:05:19,833 --> 00:05:22,750
On subjects ranging from mathematics...

70
00:05:22,833 --> 00:05:25,083
to all sorts of other things:

71
00:05:25,250 --> 00:05:28,250
Music, acoustics, astronomy...

72
00:05:28,583 --> 00:05:30,500
Medicine and China...

73
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,833
He also happened to be
one of the first Egyptologists.

74
00:05:36,250 --> 00:05:37,500
He was a...

75
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,833
For his time,
he possessed unbelievable knowledge.

76
00:05:41,083 --> 00:05:43,917
- Kind of a walking internet, see?
- Okay.

77
00:05:44,083 --> 00:05:47,250
A lot of what he said
turned out to be wrong.

78
00:05:47,333 --> 00:05:49,167
Or even totally fanciful but...

79
00:05:49,333 --> 00:05:51,333
Hands off the trinkets! Watch out!

80
00:05:51,500 --> 00:05:54,417
He even dreamed up an orchestra of cats.

81
00:05:54,583 --> 00:05:56,000
- Really?
- Really.

82
00:05:57,333 --> 00:06:00,500
You pulled their tails
to make music, to compose.

83
00:06:01,833 --> 00:06:03,583
And a machine for...

84
00:06:04,083 --> 00:06:06,083
How to clean a volcano.

85
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:09,833
I miss you too.

86
00:06:10,500 --> 00:06:12,917
But I spoke with the Donnadieus.

87
00:06:13,083 --> 00:06:16,750
They're letting me come home
for Christmas and New Year's Eve.

88
00:06:23,333 --> 00:06:25,250
Come on, don't cry.

89
00:06:25,667 --> 00:06:27,333
You'll make mummy sad.

90
00:06:28,333 --> 00:06:31,083
Sweetheart,
it's in just over two months.

91
00:06:48,667 --> 00:06:49,917
Look, mummy.

92
00:06:50,083 --> 00:06:51,500
I made my bed.

93
00:06:53,083 --> 00:06:55,000
And I have a new doll.

94
00:06:55,083 --> 00:06:58,500
She's called Auraş,
named after Aurelia.

95
00:06:58,583 --> 00:07:01,250
Because Aurelia gave her to me.

96
00:07:01,417 --> 00:07:04,083
Look how pretty she is!

97
00:07:07,250 --> 00:07:08,750
But, mummy...

98
00:07:09,250 --> 00:07:11,333
I miss you.

99
00:07:11,500 --> 00:07:15,083
I want you to come home to Romania.

100
00:07:15,250 --> 00:07:16,500
Maria!

101
00:07:16,833 --> 00:07:18,083
Stop now.

102
00:07:18,750 --> 00:07:21,583
You want mummy
to see you crying again?

103
00:07:22,333 --> 00:07:23,833
Hang up already.

104
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,333
I don't want to hang up!

105
00:07:26,583 --> 00:07:28,083
I want to keep filming!

106
00:07:28,333 --> 00:07:30,250
No more filming now.

107
00:07:30,417 --> 00:07:31,333
Come on...

108
00:07:31,500 --> 00:07:35,083
You've been yelling so much
my head hurts.

109
00:07:35,250 --> 00:07:36,333
Aurelia...

110
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:38,583
Time to go home.

111
00:07:38,750 --> 00:07:40,250
I want to stay some more!

112
00:07:40,417 --> 00:07:43,250
- Go home to your mother.
- I want to stay!

113
00:07:43,333 --> 00:07:47,583
My head's killing me. Put your shoes on!

114
00:07:48,333 --> 00:07:51,083
- Be good or you'll catch it!
- I want to stay.

115
00:07:51,333 --> 00:07:53,500
You'll come back tomorrow.

116
00:08:11,500 --> 00:08:15,333
29 September

117
00:08:16,333 --> 00:08:19,500
Look, love, this is the city.

118
00:08:20,417 --> 00:08:21,667
And here...

119
00:08:22,167 --> 00:08:24,250
Look at this bigass ship.

120
00:08:25,750 --> 00:08:27,500
On the river.

121
00:08:28,667 --> 00:08:29,083
See?

122
00:08:32,583 --> 00:08:35,000
It's a floating hotel!

123
00:08:40,083 --> 00:08:41,833
Home at last!

124
00:09:12,667 --> 00:09:14,333
Look at all this shit.

125
00:09:20,333 --> 00:09:24,250
3 October

126
00:09:24,417 --> 00:09:25,917
Célestine, sir.

127
00:09:27,333 --> 00:09:28,500
Oh, hell!

128
00:09:28,667 --> 00:09:30,833
Pretty name but too long, child.

129
00:09:31,083 --> 00:09:32,500
Far too long.

130
00:09:32,917 --> 00:09:35,833
I'll call you Marie, if you don't mind.

131
00:09:36,083 --> 00:09:39,083
It's very dainty too. And short.

132
00:09:39,333 --> 00:09:42,583
And I've always
called my chambermaids Marie.

133
00:09:42,750 --> 00:09:47,083
You have no objection
to my calling you Marie, naturally?

134
00:09:47,250 --> 00:09:48,583
Yes, sir.

135
00:09:48,750 --> 00:09:51,500
Pretty girl, sweet nature...

136
00:09:56,167 --> 00:09:57,750
Do you have others?

137
00:09:58,750 --> 00:10:01,083
Other names, sir?

138
00:10:01,250 --> 00:10:03,583
No, child, other booties?

139
00:10:04,667 --> 00:10:06,333
Yes, sir, I have others.

140
00:10:06,500 --> 00:10:07,833
Patent leather?

141
00:10:08,583 --> 00:10:09,833
Yes, sir.

142
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,583
Very good! Yellow leather?

143
00:10:14,500 --> 00:10:15,833
No, none, sir.

144
00:10:16,083 --> 00:10:17,583
You must have some.

145
00:10:17,750 --> 00:10:19,250
I'll give you a pair.

146
00:10:20,917 --> 00:10:23,000
Fine, fine, not a word!

147
00:10:30,667 --> 00:10:32,500
Understand, child...

148
00:10:32,833 --> 00:10:35,083
I have my foibles.

149
00:10:37,333 --> 00:10:40,083
At my age,
it's permitted, is it not?

150
00:10:41,833 --> 00:10:45,250
I alone shall polish your little booties.

151
00:10:45,333 --> 00:10:47,833
Your dear little booties.

152
00:10:51,083 --> 00:10:52,167
Listen carefully.

153
00:10:52,333 --> 00:10:56,250
Each night before bed,
you shall bring your booties to my room,

154
00:10:56,417 --> 00:10:58,250
you shall place them by the bed

155
00:10:58,333 --> 00:11:01,000
and, each evening,
when opening my windows,

156
00:11:01,167 --> 00:11:02,667
you shall retrieve them.

157
00:11:05,500 --> 00:11:08,667
And if you are a very good girl...

158
00:11:13,333 --> 00:11:15,333
I'll shower you with gifts.

159
00:11:15,583 --> 00:11:16,583
Thank you!

160
00:11:19,083 --> 00:11:20,083
Marie!

161
00:11:20,750 --> 00:11:23,500
Your little booties!
Give them to me immediately.

162
00:11:23,667 --> 00:11:25,083
I want them immediately.

163
00:11:31,833 --> 00:11:34,083
Let's run the lighting cue.

164
00:11:34,333 --> 00:11:35,583
And I lie down?

165
00:11:35,750 --> 00:11:37,000
Yes, lie down.

166
00:11:43,250 --> 00:11:44,250
Now I...

167
00:11:47,333 --> 00:11:50,500
Next morning,
going in to open the window,

168
00:11:51,083 --> 00:11:52,833
I nearly fainted in fright.

169
00:11:53,083 --> 00:11:54,833
Sir was dead!

170
00:11:55,500 --> 00:11:58,583
Flat on his back,
in the middle of the bed.

171
00:11:58,833 --> 00:12:01,833
His body almost completely naked.

172
00:12:02,333 --> 00:12:04,833
Rigor mortis already setting in.

173
00:12:05,333 --> 00:12:08,333
He might have been asleep,
were his face not...

174
00:12:08,500 --> 00:12:09,500
purple!

175
00:12:09,833 --> 00:12:12,167
The sinister purple of aubergines.

176
00:12:12,833 --> 00:12:14,833
The sight was terrifying.

177
00:12:15,417 --> 00:12:18,167
Sir had his teeth clamped

178
00:12:18,583 --> 00:12:20,000
on one of my booties.

179
00:12:20,167 --> 00:12:22,333
Clamped so hard in his teeth

180
00:12:22,583 --> 00:12:25,417
that after futile and horrible efforts

181
00:12:25,583 --> 00:12:28,167
I had to cut the leather with a razor

182
00:12:28,333 --> 00:12:29,833
to tear it out.

183
00:12:36,500 --> 00:12:38,083
I am no saint.

184
00:12:38,500 --> 00:12:41,917
I know men and I have learned,
through experience,

185
00:12:42,083 --> 00:12:45,750
of what follies and filth
they are capable of.

186
00:12:45,833 --> 00:12:48,000
But a man like sir?

187
00:12:56,083 --> 00:13:00,000
8 October

188
00:13:28,083 --> 00:13:31,667
Look, love,
they call this the Water Mirror.

189
00:13:32,250 --> 00:13:34,583
All the buildings are reflected in it.

190
00:13:35,417 --> 00:13:38,083
There are a lot of beautiful buildings.

191
00:13:38,250 --> 00:13:39,833
And a lot of poverty.

192
00:13:40,333 --> 00:13:44,167
Especially with migrants
coming from all over the world.

193
00:13:45,333 --> 00:13:47,083
Still, it's lovely here.

194
00:13:48,750 --> 00:13:52,750
Winter's not far off.
You'll get heaps of presents.

195
00:13:52,917 --> 00:13:55,250
And mummy promises you,

196
00:13:55,333 --> 00:13:57,667
if we save up enough money,

197
00:13:58,333 --> 00:14:01,833
you can come here to see the Mirror

198
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,167
and all these beautiful things.

199
00:14:11,583 --> 00:14:13,083
Beddy-byes now?

200
00:14:14,500 --> 00:14:16,083
- Ma'am?
- Yes?

201
00:14:16,833 --> 00:14:18,417
I brought your coffee.

202
00:14:18,833 --> 00:14:20,167
V60, your favourite.

203
00:14:20,333 --> 00:14:21,417
All right.

204
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,167
Thanks very much. I appreciate it.

205
00:14:24,583 --> 00:14:26,000
You'll have a cup with me?

206
00:14:26,167 --> 00:14:27,083
No, thanks.

207
00:14:27,333 --> 00:14:28,667
Just take his temperature.

208
00:14:28,833 --> 00:14:30,083
Even if I insist?

209
00:14:31,833 --> 00:14:33,500
Are you happy here?

210
00:14:33,667 --> 00:14:36,833
Yes, and I'm very grateful to you.

211
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:38,583
Thank you for everything.

212
00:14:38,750 --> 00:14:39,833
No problem.

213
00:14:40,833 --> 00:14:44,583
What happened
where you were before?

214
00:14:46,333 --> 00:14:47,833
How can I put it?

215
00:14:48,750 --> 00:14:50,750
They treated me very badly.

216
00:14:50,833 --> 00:14:52,583
A family from Paris.

217
00:14:53,083 --> 00:14:57,833
They kept calling me
a dirty gypsy, monkey, and stuff.

218
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,000
They cheated me out of money.

219
00:15:00,083 --> 00:15:01,667
The lady even beat me.

220
00:15:03,583 --> 00:15:05,083
It's difficult to believe.

221
00:15:05,250 --> 00:15:06,083
Yes.

222
00:15:06,250 --> 00:15:07,500
Several times.

223
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,917
Worst of all, they took my papers
so I couldn't leave.

224
00:15:12,583 --> 00:15:13,833
How come?

225
00:15:14,833 --> 00:15:18,333
Yes, I wanted
to see my daughter in Romania.

226
00:15:18,917 --> 00:15:21,667
So they took my passport and ID card.

227
00:15:24,333 --> 00:15:25,333
Why?

228
00:15:25,500 --> 00:15:26,833
That's absurd.

229
00:15:28,583 --> 00:15:30,417
They were sick in the head.

230
00:15:32,500 --> 00:15:34,500
They threatened me, saying,

231
00:15:34,583 --> 00:15:37,083
if I went to the police,
I'd be in trouble

232
00:15:37,250 --> 00:15:39,250
because I was working off the books,

233
00:15:39,417 --> 00:15:41,000
so I'd be deported.

234
00:15:41,083 --> 00:15:42,583
Good Lord!

235
00:15:44,583 --> 00:15:46,583
What awful people!

236
00:15:48,583 --> 00:15:52,250
I went to the police in the end
and ran away but...

237
00:15:52,500 --> 00:15:53,833
It was horrible.

238
00:15:58,250 --> 00:16:02,083
9 October

239
00:16:04,833 --> 00:16:09,333
Look, mummy,
Grandma's going to slaughter the chicken.

240
00:16:09,583 --> 00:16:14,083
She's afraid to slaughter one.
She's such a chicken!

241
00:16:18,583 --> 00:16:19,583
Hello.

242
00:16:19,833 --> 00:16:22,750
Look, mummy, it's Costică Bâtu!

243
00:16:22,833 --> 00:16:27,083
World's greatest chicken-slayer,
ladies and gentlemen!

244
00:16:27,333 --> 00:16:29,083
This'll make a good soup.

245
00:16:29,250 --> 00:16:31,000
Good sauce too.

246
00:16:33,583 --> 00:16:35,000
My goodness.

247
00:16:35,750 --> 00:16:37,167
There, done.

248
00:16:38,583 --> 00:16:41,083
When I was your age, in winter,

249
00:16:41,667 --> 00:16:44,333
I'd go tobogganing on a frozen river.

250
00:16:44,833 --> 00:16:46,833
There were so many children

251
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:48,917
with their toboggans on the ice.

252
00:16:49,667 --> 00:16:51,000
From time to time,

253
00:16:51,333 --> 00:16:52,833
the ice broke up

254
00:16:53,083 --> 00:16:54,833
and it was very dangerous.

255
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:56,833
Some children even died.

256
00:16:57,583 --> 00:16:59,250
They died? Really?

257
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:01,000
Yes.

258
00:17:01,833 --> 00:17:04,000
I fell off the toboggan once

259
00:17:04,083 --> 00:17:07,583
and it was really difficult
to get out of the water.

260
00:17:07,750 --> 00:17:11,500
Afterwards, I ran home in the snow,

261
00:17:11,667 --> 00:17:13,333
and I changed my clothes.

262
00:17:13,833 --> 00:17:16,250
But I still caught cold.

263
00:17:17,083 --> 00:17:18,083
Like you.

264
00:17:19,333 --> 00:17:22,000
My father, may God forgive him,

265
00:17:22,583 --> 00:17:24,083
beat me really hard.

266
00:17:24,250 --> 00:17:25,333
How come?

267
00:17:27,583 --> 00:17:29,750
What the heck
was I doing on the ice?

268
00:17:30,750 --> 00:17:32,583
But those days are past.

269
00:17:33,417 --> 00:17:36,250
It doesn't snow like that anymore,

270
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:38,583
and all the children have gone.

271
00:18:00,083 --> 00:18:03,917
14 October

272
00:18:04,250 --> 00:18:07,500
I don't think I'll ever get used to it.

273
00:18:07,667 --> 00:18:10,000
When the teacher yells at me,

274
00:18:10,083 --> 00:18:13,083
I get scared and start crying.

275
00:18:13,750 --> 00:18:16,083
That's what teachers are like there.

276
00:18:16,333 --> 00:18:17,833
Always yelling at the kids.

277
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,583
They even used to hit us.

278
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,583
The teacher hit me too.

279
00:18:23,667 --> 00:18:25,583
They don't do that in France.

280
00:18:25,750 --> 00:18:29,583
Then why don't you take me with you?

281
00:18:30,833 --> 00:18:34,167
I told you, love, I can't just yet.

282
00:18:34,583 --> 00:18:39,583
I need to pay off the bank,
finish renovations on the house.

283
00:18:39,750 --> 00:18:42,333
Remember Daddy will be away a long time.

284
00:18:43,333 --> 00:18:45,750
But I miss you!

285
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:47,583
When I come at Christmas,

286
00:18:47,833 --> 00:18:51,083
we'll spend lots of time together.

287
00:18:51,500 --> 00:18:53,083
Didn't I promise?

288
00:18:54,833 --> 00:18:55,917
Okay.

289
00:18:56,250 --> 00:18:57,083
Listen...

290
00:18:57,500 --> 00:19:00,833
I'm a giant toad,
coming to eat you up!

291
00:19:01,583 --> 00:19:04,583
I'm a giant toad
coming to eat you up too!

292
00:19:06,250 --> 00:19:08,250
Here, I'll eat you again!

293
00:19:08,417 --> 00:19:12,250
17 October

294
00:19:40,083 --> 00:19:41,583
Don't cry, ma'am.

295
00:19:42,167 --> 00:19:45,167
We shall save him.
I swear we shall save him.

296
00:19:46,833 --> 00:19:50,083
All he asked of me
was to read him poetry.

297
00:19:51,167 --> 00:19:53,250
The poets speak to the souls

298
00:19:53,417 --> 00:19:56,917
of the simple, the sad and the sick.

299
00:19:57,333 --> 00:19:59,833
In that, they are eternal.

300
00:20:00,083 --> 00:20:02,917
Do you know
that when one has sensitivity,

301
00:20:03,083 --> 00:20:05,083
one is always partly poet?

302
00:20:05,250 --> 00:20:07,333
You too, little Célestine,

303
00:20:07,500 --> 00:20:11,250
often you have told me things
as beautiful as verse!

304
00:20:12,083 --> 00:20:13,583
Monsieur Georges!

305
00:20:14,250 --> 00:20:16,083
You are mocking me!

306
00:20:20,333 --> 00:20:23,250
You have no idea
you said such beautiful things.

307
00:20:23,833 --> 00:20:26,083
Your chores can wait, Célestine.

308
00:20:26,333 --> 00:20:28,083
Come close to me!

309
00:20:29,833 --> 00:20:31,583
I sit here, sick.

310
00:20:31,833 --> 00:20:34,583
Completely sick!

311
00:20:36,583 --> 00:20:38,000
Monsieur Georges!

312
00:20:38,500 --> 00:20:39,833
You do not behave!

313
00:20:41,083 --> 00:20:42,417
It's not nice.

314
00:20:42,833 --> 00:20:45,833
What if your mother were to come,
Monsieur Georges,

315
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,083
and see you in this state?

316
00:20:48,500 --> 00:20:50,833
You would make her cry once more,

317
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:52,333
Monsieur Georges!

318
00:20:53,833 --> 00:20:55,333
Call me simply Georges.

319
00:20:55,583 --> 00:20:58,750
- Wicked girl!
- That I could not do. Never!

320
00:21:01,333 --> 00:21:03,000
No, don't go!

321
00:21:03,583 --> 00:21:05,250
Stay with me!

322
00:21:08,417 --> 00:21:11,500
You have no idea
how good it makes me feel!

323
00:21:13,833 --> 00:21:15,417
How it warms me up!

324
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,833
You see? I am no longer
jittery and agitated!

325
00:21:20,083 --> 00:21:21,833
I am no longer sick!

326
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:23,833
I am so happy!

327
00:21:25,750 --> 00:21:27,000
Monsieur Georges!

328
00:21:27,083 --> 00:21:29,500
I'm not feeling well. Leave me alone!

329
00:21:29,667 --> 00:21:31,083
Stay!

330
00:21:31,083 --> 00:21:32,333
Leave me alone!

331
00:21:36,250 --> 00:21:39,167
You see now, Monsieur Georges.

332
00:21:39,667 --> 00:21:41,833
You make yourself sick with pleasure.

333
00:21:42,750 --> 00:21:45,417
Behave yourself, will you?

334
00:21:46,083 --> 00:21:48,333
And if you were a good boy...

335
00:21:49,333 --> 00:21:51,667
do you know what you would do?

336
00:21:52,500 --> 00:21:55,000
You would go to bed this moment.

337
00:21:55,083 --> 00:21:56,250
This moment!

338
00:21:58,250 --> 00:22:01,583
I feel within me,
in my soul and in my body,

339
00:22:01,750 --> 00:22:05,583
newfound vigour,
a whole new life stirring!

340
00:22:07,333 --> 00:22:10,250
In any case, what can you do?

341
00:22:10,333 --> 00:22:13,667
Why would you love me?

342
00:22:18,250 --> 00:22:20,083
You are right not to love me.

343
00:22:20,250 --> 00:22:24,083
You fear you shall poison your mouth
with the poisons in mine.

344
00:22:24,250 --> 00:22:25,583
And catch my illness,

345
00:22:25,750 --> 00:22:29,000
the illness
of which I am surely dying,

346
00:22:29,083 --> 00:22:31,917
through a kiss of mine!

347
00:22:34,583 --> 00:22:37,333
Do not say that, Monsieur Georges.

348
00:22:37,583 --> 00:22:41,500
It is horrible and wicked,
everything you say.

349
00:22:52,917 --> 00:22:54,500
What a stench!

350
00:22:55,417 --> 00:22:56,417
My God!

351
00:22:58,333 --> 00:22:59,500
Here, wicked man,

352
00:22:59,583 --> 00:23:02,750
behold how scared I am!

353
00:23:02,917 --> 00:23:04,750
Eat my cheese!

354
00:23:15,833 --> 00:23:17,417
It was above all

355
00:23:17,583 --> 00:23:20,250
an act of fervent piety.

356
00:23:20,333 --> 00:23:22,833
Selfless and very pure.

357
00:23:23,583 --> 00:23:24,833
As if to say,

358
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,333
"No, I do not believe that you are sick."

359
00:23:29,667 --> 00:23:31,000
And for proof,

360
00:23:31,083 --> 00:23:34,250
I do not hesitate
to mingle my breath with yours.

361
00:23:34,833 --> 00:23:38,583
Drink that breath
and steep my bosom in it!

362
00:23:41,250 --> 00:23:42,750
Monsieur Georges!

363
00:23:43,833 --> 00:23:45,750
I did you wrong!

364
00:23:49,250 --> 00:23:51,000
I am so happy.

365
00:23:52,250 --> 00:23:55,083
Do not leave me all night long!

366
00:23:55,250 --> 00:23:57,917
Alone, you see, I do believe

367
00:23:58,500 --> 00:24:01,750
that I could not bear the violence,
however sweet,

368
00:24:01,917 --> 00:24:03,500
of my happiness.

369
00:24:06,750 --> 00:24:08,083
It is nothing.

370
00:24:08,667 --> 00:24:10,250
Do not be sorry

371
00:24:10,417 --> 00:24:13,583
since I am so happy.

372
00:24:14,583 --> 00:24:16,417
And I am not sick.

373
00:24:16,583 --> 00:24:20,333
You'll see
how well I sleep next to you.

374
00:24:20,583 --> 00:24:24,583
I want to sleep
as if I were your little child.

375
00:24:25,333 --> 00:24:27,333
Between your breasts.

376
00:24:27,833 --> 00:24:30,583
My head between your breasts.

377
00:24:31,083 --> 00:24:35,083
What if your mother were to ring
for me tonight, Monsieur Georges?

378
00:24:35,333 --> 00:24:38,083
No!

379
00:24:38,083 --> 00:24:39,833
She will not ring!

380
00:24:41,833 --> 00:24:46,000
My kiss had the sinister touch
of criminal madness.

381
00:24:46,500 --> 00:24:48,333
Knowing that I was killing Georges,

382
00:24:48,583 --> 00:24:51,083
I strove to kill myself too,

383
00:24:51,917 --> 00:24:54,583
through the same happiness and sickness.

384
00:24:55,333 --> 00:24:56,750
I inhaled,

385
00:24:56,833 --> 00:24:58,333
I drank death,

386
00:24:58,500 --> 00:25:00,833
all the death from his mouth.

387
00:25:04,750 --> 00:25:06,583
And while he was coughing,

388
00:25:06,833 --> 00:25:09,583
wracked in my arms
by a violent fit,

389
00:25:09,750 --> 00:25:11,667
I saw, frothing from his lips,

390
00:25:11,833 --> 00:25:15,583
a large, vile gob of spit
streaked with blood.

391
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:18,500
I swallowed the spit

392
00:25:19,250 --> 00:25:21,333
with murderous rapacity.

393
00:25:22,667 --> 00:25:24,083
Once more your mouth!

394
00:25:24,250 --> 00:25:25,750
Once more your eyes!

395
00:25:25,917 --> 00:25:28,333
Once more your joy!

396
00:25:29,333 --> 00:25:30,500
Not tonight.

397
00:25:30,667 --> 00:25:33,167
Please, behave yourself tonight.

398
00:25:33,583 --> 00:25:35,833
You always say the same thing.

399
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:37,500
"Not tonight!"

400
00:25:38,250 --> 00:25:40,000
Do I have time to wait?

401
00:25:40,583 --> 00:25:41,917
Monsieur Georges!

402
00:25:42,083 --> 00:25:44,000
So you want me to kill you?

403
00:25:44,167 --> 00:25:47,833
So you want me to have
a lifetime's remorse for killing you?

404
00:25:49,250 --> 00:25:50,500
Be quiet!

405
00:25:50,583 --> 00:25:53,083
You have no idea
how good it makes me feel!

406
00:26:06,750 --> 00:26:08,500
Monsieur Georges!

407
00:26:12,667 --> 00:26:13,667
But...

408
00:26:13,833 --> 00:26:15,250
I'm not an actress.

409
00:26:17,583 --> 00:26:21,417
That's why I chose you,
to make it more authentic.

410
00:26:21,583 --> 00:26:22,833
We don't want actors.

411
00:26:23,083 --> 00:26:25,833
We want something more amateur, more...

412
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,333
commedia dell'arte, Grand Guignol.

413
00:26:28,500 --> 00:26:29,083
I mean,

414
00:26:29,333 --> 00:26:31,583
something joyful and accessible.

415
00:26:31,750 --> 00:26:32,833
Amateur.

416
00:26:33,083 --> 00:26:35,250
Like Ubu Roi.

417
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,500
That's why we want an immigrant maid

418
00:26:38,667 --> 00:26:41,833
and why Khalil plays all the male parts.

419
00:26:42,833 --> 00:26:44,000
Yes, but...

420
00:26:44,750 --> 00:26:46,167
I'm a bit embarrassed.

421
00:26:46,333 --> 00:26:48,500
Really? You know...

422
00:26:49,083 --> 00:26:50,333
Nobody's forcing you.

423
00:26:50,500 --> 00:26:52,167
Only do what's right for you,

424
00:26:52,333 --> 00:26:54,833
if it seems like a good idea to you.

425
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:56,333
Think it over.

426
00:26:57,083 --> 00:27:01,083
Basically, we wanted
to do something provocative, you see.

427
00:27:01,333 --> 00:27:03,750
That's why,
if you could do the scene nude,

428
00:27:03,833 --> 00:27:05,250
it'd be just perfect.

429
00:27:06,917 --> 00:27:09,333
Perhaps only in my underwear.

430
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:11,500
Or just topless.

431
00:27:11,583 --> 00:27:13,333
What do you think?

432
00:27:15,250 --> 00:27:17,500
If I can give my opinion,

433
00:27:18,583 --> 00:27:20,500
I think it's one or the other.

434
00:27:21,250 --> 00:27:23,750
Doing things by half
makes no sense.

435
00:27:23,917 --> 00:27:26,917
We'll have an intimacy coordinator so...

436
00:27:27,083 --> 00:27:29,083
We have no money for that.

437
00:27:29,250 --> 00:27:31,917
I understand,
but we're required to have one.

438
00:27:32,083 --> 00:27:34,000
We need a coordinator.

439
00:27:34,583 --> 00:27:36,833
- I'll think it over.
- Thanks, Gianina.

440
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:39,417
One more question...

441
00:27:40,083 --> 00:27:43,583
In Buñuel's film
based on Diary of a Chambermaid,

442
00:27:43,833 --> 00:27:46,333
there's a line that is not in the novel.

443
00:27:46,500 --> 00:27:47,833
Joseph says, reading the paper,

444
00:27:48,083 --> 00:27:51,000
goodness knows how many Jews
were killed in Romania.

445
00:27:51,167 --> 00:27:52,833
Do you know what it means?

446
00:27:53,750 --> 00:27:54,833
No.

447
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:56,250
No idea.

448
00:27:56,833 --> 00:27:59,333
You know nothing
about anti-Semitism in Romania?

449
00:28:00,083 --> 00:28:04,000
18 October

450
00:28:12,333 --> 00:28:16,250
20 October

451
00:28:27,333 --> 00:28:28,750
Hagi! Hagi!

452
00:28:29,583 --> 00:28:32,667
Janine, who's Romania's best goalie?

453
00:28:33,583 --> 00:28:34,750
I don't know.

454
00:28:35,583 --> 00:28:36,583
Look, sweetie.

455
00:28:37,083 --> 00:28:38,167
That's Louen.

456
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:40,917
The boy I look after.

457
00:28:42,750 --> 00:28:45,583
He's cute but you're the cutest.

458
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,083
When you come on holiday,
you'll be friends!

459
00:28:51,750 --> 00:28:54,417
Janine, can you film me
in slow motion?

460
00:28:54,583 --> 00:28:55,750
Ready?

461
00:29:10,417 --> 00:29:14,333
22 October

462
00:29:14,500 --> 00:29:17,833
Why are you just letting her cry?

463
00:29:18,333 --> 00:29:21,000
What can I do?
It's not my fault, is it?

464
00:29:21,500 --> 00:29:23,583
Besides, I got the roof fixed.

465
00:29:23,833 --> 00:29:25,583
All the money went on that.

466
00:29:26,333 --> 00:29:28,333
You haven't been sending any.

467
00:29:28,583 --> 00:29:30,000
I will.

468
00:29:30,083 --> 00:29:32,333
You think money grows on trees here?

469
00:29:32,833 --> 00:29:36,083
First let me finish
paying the fucking bank.

470
00:29:36,333 --> 00:29:40,833
And don't let poor Maria
bang her head against walls like that.

471
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:42,750
She was beaten at school!

472
00:29:42,833 --> 00:29:45,000
I don't want them touching her.

473
00:29:46,417 --> 00:29:48,083
What can I do?

474
00:29:48,333 --> 00:29:49,583
They do that here.

475
00:29:49,750 --> 00:29:52,083
A little slap here and there.

476
00:29:52,333 --> 00:29:54,417
Comrade Teacher used to slap you.

477
00:29:54,583 --> 00:29:55,667
I got slapped too.

478
00:29:55,833 --> 00:29:57,333
Yeah, the fucker.

479
00:29:58,083 --> 00:29:59,333
Put her on.

480
00:30:04,833 --> 00:30:05,917
Maria!

481
00:30:08,333 --> 00:30:10,833
- Want to talk to your mother?
- No!

482
00:30:17,083 --> 00:30:18,750
She doesn't want to.

483
00:30:19,083 --> 00:30:22,417
Tell her I want to talk to her right now!

484
00:30:23,333 --> 00:30:24,917
Come on, Maria.

485
00:30:27,500 --> 00:30:31,250
Please, do it for grandma.
Come talk to your mum.

486
00:30:31,833 --> 00:30:35,083
I don't want to talk to you!

487
00:30:35,250 --> 00:30:36,750
Why not?

488
00:30:37,417 --> 00:30:41,750
You take care of other children
instead of me!

489
00:30:41,833 --> 00:30:43,583
Seriously now?

490
00:30:43,833 --> 00:30:46,750
It's my job, sweetie!

491
00:30:47,250 --> 00:30:49,833
I don't want you looking after that boy!

492
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:51,833
I want you to come home!

493
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:55,333
I'll be there in the blink of an eye.

494
00:30:56,083 --> 00:31:00,917
I don't want you
to be with that stupid, ugly boy!

495
00:31:03,083 --> 00:31:04,583
All right, my love.

496
00:31:04,917 --> 00:31:06,500
Here's the deal,

497
00:31:06,583 --> 00:31:09,333
tomorrow I tell them I'm done.

498
00:31:09,500 --> 00:31:11,667
I'm not looking after him anymore.

499
00:31:11,833 --> 00:31:13,000
Okay?

500
00:31:13,083 --> 00:31:15,083
And you're coming home?

501
00:31:15,500 --> 00:31:18,917
To hell with their ugly brat!
I'm done with him!

502
00:31:19,583 --> 00:31:21,833
But you're coming home?

503
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,583
I can't. I've explained before.

504
00:31:24,917 --> 00:31:26,833
But I'm done with him.

505
00:31:27,083 --> 00:31:30,333
Laundry, cleaning, cooking, fine.

506
00:31:30,583 --> 00:31:32,750
But no more childcare!

507
00:31:33,500 --> 00:31:35,250
To hell with that idiot!

508
00:31:36,833 --> 00:31:38,583
You promise?

509
00:31:38,750 --> 00:31:42,583
23 October

510
00:31:42,750 --> 00:31:44,833
- That's Gianina.
- Gianina? Thank you.

511
00:31:45,083 --> 00:31:47,167
We're delighted to have Gianina.

512
00:31:48,417 --> 00:31:51,333
How would we get by
without her today?

513
00:31:51,583 --> 00:31:52,667
Put it there.

514
00:31:53,750 --> 00:31:56,583
She tells Louen
the most extraordinary stories.

515
00:31:56,833 --> 00:31:59,833
I can tell you,
her imagination is insane.

516
00:32:00,917 --> 00:32:03,500
- Are you from Romania?
- Yes, sir.

517
00:32:03,667 --> 00:32:04,583
Bucharest?

518
00:32:04,833 --> 00:32:07,250
No, I've never been to Bucharest.

519
00:32:07,333 --> 00:32:09,583
I come from a village in Moldavia.

520
00:32:09,917 --> 00:32:11,667
You mean Moldova?

521
00:32:11,833 --> 00:32:13,500
No, Moldavia in Romania.

522
00:32:14,083 --> 00:32:17,250
- It's not the same thing?
- Not quite.

523
00:32:17,333 --> 00:32:19,333
- You knew?
- Naturally.

524
00:32:20,333 --> 00:32:22,250
Janine, sit down with us.

525
00:32:22,333 --> 00:32:24,417
Eat with us and talk with us.

526
00:32:24,583 --> 00:32:26,333
- No, thank you.
- Come on!

527
00:32:27,583 --> 00:32:30,250
- Just a little.
- I'm very busy in the kitchen.

528
00:32:30,333 --> 00:32:31,500
Sorry.

529
00:32:31,500 --> 00:32:35,750
I heard you're in our college play,
a Mirbeau adaptation.

530
00:32:35,833 --> 00:32:37,083
That's true.

531
00:32:37,500 --> 00:32:39,833
Madam suggested it. I'm no actress.

532
00:32:41,583 --> 00:32:44,250
Some of our literature students

533
00:32:44,417 --> 00:32:45,917
put on a play every year.

534
00:32:46,083 --> 00:32:48,667
And usually the show is pretty well done.

535
00:32:49,250 --> 00:32:52,250
They cast only non-professionals.

536
00:32:52,417 --> 00:32:53,583
Yes, amateurs.

537
00:32:53,750 --> 00:32:55,333
Amateurs, that's right.

538
00:32:55,750 --> 00:32:59,000
As well as migrants,
and seeing as...

539
00:32:59,083 --> 00:33:02,833
Gianina loves acting out the stories
she tells Louen,

540
00:33:03,083 --> 00:33:04,333
it seemed a good idea.

541
00:33:04,500 --> 00:33:06,833
- Great!
- They do an extraordinary job.

542
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:08,583
- How interesting!
- Yes, it's...

543
00:33:08,750 --> 00:33:11,333
What kind of stories do you tell Louen?

544
00:33:11,667 --> 00:33:14,000
Romanian stories and fairy tales,

545
00:33:14,167 --> 00:33:16,000
picked up from my grandfather.

546
00:33:16,167 --> 00:33:18,750
He was the village storyteller
for all the kids.

547
00:33:18,833 --> 00:33:20,583
- You're so lucky!
- Yes.

548
00:33:20,750 --> 00:33:23,167
And how do you feel here in France?

549
00:33:23,333 --> 00:33:24,583
Good.

550
00:33:24,750 --> 00:33:25,833
Really good.

551
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:27,500
I'm very lucky here.

552
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,083
I miss my daughter, though.

553
00:33:30,833 --> 00:33:33,333
Her daughter's in Romania.
She's flying home soon.

554
00:33:33,500 --> 00:33:35,583
- For the holidays.
- Yes.

555
00:33:36,250 --> 00:33:37,333
That's great.

556
00:33:38,250 --> 00:33:39,333
Her father...

557
00:33:39,500 --> 00:33:41,167
After we got divorced,

558
00:33:41,333 --> 00:33:45,083
he stayed in Spain
and broke off contact with her.

559
00:33:46,083 --> 00:33:48,667
Yes, apparently, he's not a nice man.

560
00:33:49,083 --> 00:33:50,250
A bastard!

561
00:33:50,333 --> 00:33:53,833
He's a bastard.
Let's call things by their name.

562
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,750
- Yes, it was a big mistake.
- A bastard.

563
00:33:56,917 --> 00:33:58,250
They exist.

564
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,000
Gianina, can you come here?

565
00:34:28,667 --> 00:34:29,167
Me?

566
00:34:30,333 --> 00:34:31,333
Come on.

567
00:34:34,250 --> 00:34:36,000
We need a two-tier Europe.

568
00:34:36,167 --> 00:34:39,250
West, with real potential
for rapid development.

569
00:34:39,417 --> 00:34:40,833
And East, lagging behind.

570
00:34:41,083 --> 00:34:44,083
Gianina, actually what Jacques is saying

571
00:34:44,250 --> 00:34:46,833
is that Ukraine should give in
to Russian demands,

572
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:51,667
NATO should abandon
the Baltic states and Eastern Europe.

573
00:34:51,833 --> 00:34:54,583
Otherwise,
there'll never be real peace, right?

574
00:34:55,583 --> 00:34:57,833
Gianina, as someone from the East,

575
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,250
as a Romanian, what do you say?

576
00:35:02,417 --> 00:35:03,750
I don't know.

577
00:35:03,833 --> 00:35:05,000
I mean...

578
00:35:06,667 --> 00:35:08,083
I don't know.

579
00:35:09,833 --> 00:35:13,583
Obviously! Only the Yanks
and other nutjobs keep the war going.

580
00:35:13,750 --> 00:35:18,000
I know that the Russians are bad,
so my grandparents always said.

581
00:35:18,167 --> 00:35:21,083
- She's right. They're brutes!
- For sure.

582
00:35:21,833 --> 00:35:23,583
I know nothing about politics.

583
00:35:23,750 --> 00:35:26,667
It's not about politics,
it's about principles!

584
00:35:27,333 --> 00:35:28,583
I mean,

585
00:35:28,750 --> 00:35:30,083
just imagine!

586
00:35:30,250 --> 00:35:32,917
Half of Europe
abandons the other half?

587
00:35:33,083 --> 00:35:34,500
It's intolerable!

588
00:35:34,667 --> 00:35:37,917
Either we stand together
to help Ukraine or...

589
00:35:39,750 --> 00:35:43,250
No, honestly,
these leftists are all Putinists!

590
00:35:43,417 --> 00:35:46,667
- Simple as that.
- They're anti-Putin and anti-Ukraine.

591
00:35:46,833 --> 00:35:48,583
The real bad actor is America!

592
00:35:48,750 --> 00:35:50,667
That's not what you said earlier.

593
00:35:50,833 --> 00:35:53,417
Personally, I adore Zelenskyy.

594
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:55,250
And he's super sexy.

595
00:35:55,417 --> 00:35:57,083
Fuck him then, if you want.

596
00:35:57,500 --> 00:35:58,917
The guy's trash!

597
00:35:59,083 --> 00:36:02,417
My wife's family and I loathe him.
Fuck that smart-arse piece of shit!

598
00:36:02,583 --> 00:36:05,667
Marching us to nuclear war
'cause he's a moron!

599
00:36:05,833 --> 00:36:06,750
Calm down.

600
00:36:06,917 --> 00:36:08,167
I'm very calm.

601
00:36:08,333 --> 00:36:10,417
Champagne socialism is over.

602
00:36:10,583 --> 00:36:11,417
Look...

603
00:36:11,583 --> 00:36:12,333
Over!

604
00:36:12,500 --> 00:36:15,000
Somehow I wound up on a Facebook group

605
00:36:15,167 --> 00:36:17,000
that posts daily...

606
00:36:18,250 --> 00:36:18,917
war videos.

607
00:36:19,333 --> 00:36:22,333
It's scary,
more and more like a video game.

608
00:36:22,500 --> 00:36:23,833
Who's filming?

609
00:36:24,083 --> 00:36:25,000
Them.

610
00:36:25,750 --> 00:36:28,000
Their helmet cams film it all.

611
00:36:28,083 --> 00:36:30,333
You wonder,
"Why don't they just surrender?"

612
00:36:31,083 --> 00:36:32,750
Like us in 1940.

613
00:36:32,917 --> 00:36:34,417
Why not surrender?

614
00:36:34,583 --> 00:36:36,250
They're all so young.

615
00:36:36,417 --> 00:36:37,583
Poor guys.

616
00:36:38,083 --> 00:36:40,333
They could surrender, though, right?

617
00:36:40,583 --> 00:36:42,500
It's terrifying, isn't it?

618
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:48,083
- A country can surrender to save all...
- That's not the point.

619
00:36:49,417 --> 00:36:50,583
Well, Gianina...

620
00:36:50,667 --> 00:36:52,167
Imagine you're a soldier, you see?

621
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,083
Can we try a thought exercise?

622
00:36:56,250 --> 00:36:59,000
Close your eyes
and bring to mind the footage.

623
00:36:59,833 --> 00:37:02,167
Now, can you tell us who you're for?

624
00:37:02,333 --> 00:37:03,333
That's horrible.

625
00:37:03,583 --> 00:37:04,833
When you're ready.

626
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:08,000
For the Ukrainians shooting
or the Russians falling?

627
00:37:08,167 --> 00:37:09,333
Stop it.

628
00:37:09,500 --> 00:37:12,833
I know that the Russians
tried to steal our country.

629
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:15,583
Yes! The Russians
want to steal your country.

630
00:37:15,750 --> 00:37:16,917
That's the truth.

631
00:37:17,083 --> 00:37:20,250
Whatever else happens,
there comes a time to act.

632
00:37:20,417 --> 00:37:21,833
I never disputed that.

633
00:37:22,667 --> 00:37:25,000
- You don't dispute it?
- No, I don't.

634
00:37:25,583 --> 00:37:27,750
Can you see
how disrespectful you are?

635
00:37:27,917 --> 00:37:29,500
How disrespectful you are!

636
00:37:29,583 --> 00:37:31,583
In front of folks from the East.

637
00:37:32,833 --> 00:37:35,917
You realise
what you've done tonight in my home?

638
00:37:37,917 --> 00:37:40,500
Look at me when I'm talking to you!

639
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:42,167
This is going too far.

640
00:37:42,333 --> 00:37:46,250
25 October

641
00:37:47,917 --> 00:37:50,833
Who's a clever, pretty chicken?

642
00:37:57,917 --> 00:38:00,750
Of course,
you're one of our best customers.

643
00:38:01,833 --> 00:38:03,000
Yes.

644
00:38:03,583 --> 00:38:07,083
I'm delighted
to be able to supply your wines.

645
00:38:08,083 --> 00:38:10,333
But I'm sorry, we're completely...

646
00:38:10,583 --> 00:38:12,333
It's a tragedy.

647
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:15,000
You're full of...

648
00:38:15,167 --> 00:38:16,833
There, you're full of...

649
00:38:17,083 --> 00:38:18,917
You've got it on your nose.

650
00:38:20,833 --> 00:38:22,750
You're always having fun, aren't you?

651
00:38:22,833 --> 00:38:24,250
Yes, a lot.

652
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,083
Who was that behind you?

653
00:38:28,250 --> 00:38:30,000
That's Janine, my nanny.

654
00:38:34,583 --> 00:38:37,167
Hello, Janine. I like your scarf.

655
00:38:37,833 --> 00:38:39,333
Thanks a lot.

656
00:38:41,583 --> 00:38:43,250
Right, of course...

657
00:38:44,583 --> 00:38:46,583
Louen's always talking about you.

658
00:38:46,750 --> 00:38:47,833
Really?

659
00:38:48,250 --> 00:38:50,833
Sure. He said you're very nice.

660
00:38:51,333 --> 00:38:53,083
I've been to Romania.

661
00:38:53,250 --> 00:38:55,583
Although it was a long time ago.

662
00:38:55,833 --> 00:38:58,833
Around 1985.

663
00:39:01,250 --> 00:39:02,833
- See you later.
- Bye.

664
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:05,833
I met lots of Romanians.

665
00:39:06,083 --> 00:39:07,083
All of them,

666
00:39:07,333 --> 00:39:09,917
they all wanted me
to bring them to France.

667
00:39:10,083 --> 00:39:11,750
All those I met.

668
00:39:11,917 --> 00:39:14,833
The poverty over there
was just terrible.

669
00:39:16,250 --> 00:39:17,333
Yes, I know.

670
00:39:17,500 --> 00:39:19,750
I mean, I guess so.

671
00:39:19,917 --> 00:39:21,083
I wasn't born then.

672
00:39:23,750 --> 00:39:25,333
People must have said.

673
00:39:25,500 --> 00:39:26,917
What's it like now?

674
00:39:27,583 --> 00:39:28,917
I don't know.

675
00:39:29,667 --> 00:39:31,333
For some people, better.

676
00:39:31,500 --> 00:39:32,750
For others...

677
00:39:32,917 --> 00:39:36,833
30 October

678
00:39:37,083 --> 00:39:40,750
Mum, we're going to school
in the next village.

679
00:39:40,917 --> 00:39:42,667
Ours closed down.

680
00:39:42,917 --> 00:39:46,833
It's cold outside,
but we're having lots of fun.

681
00:39:51,667 --> 00:39:54,083
That idiot's honking!

682
00:39:54,917 --> 00:39:56,250
You blockhead!

683
00:40:06,750 --> 00:40:08,667
There are no insects, no birds,

684
00:40:08,833 --> 00:40:10,667
no worms that I have not eaten.

685
00:40:10,833 --> 00:40:12,583
I have eaten polecats and snakes.

686
00:40:12,750 --> 00:40:14,833
Rats and crickets. Caterpillars!

687
00:40:15,083 --> 00:40:17,167
When an animal is found,
alive or dead,

688
00:40:17,333 --> 00:40:19,583
an animal that no one can identify,

689
00:40:19,833 --> 00:40:23,083
the call goes out,
"Take it to Captain Mauger!"

690
00:40:23,250 --> 00:40:25,750
It is brought to me and I eat it.

691
00:40:25,917 --> 00:40:26,833
I eat everything.

692
00:40:27,083 --> 00:40:28,583
In the depths of winter,

693
00:40:28,750 --> 00:40:32,167
unknown birds fly over,
from America or further afield.

694
00:40:32,333 --> 00:40:35,000
They are brought to me and I eat them.

695
00:40:35,083 --> 00:40:36,333
I eat everything.

696
00:40:37,583 --> 00:40:38,750
Bravo!

697
00:40:39,583 --> 00:40:41,083
Kleber!

698
00:40:41,833 --> 00:40:44,500
Kleber is my ferret. Phenomenal!

699
00:40:44,667 --> 00:40:45,917
Come here, Kleber.

700
00:40:51,500 --> 00:40:54,333
Have you ever seen such a tame ferret?

701
00:40:54,917 --> 00:40:57,583
He follows me in the garden
like a puppy.

702
00:40:57,750 --> 00:40:59,833
I call him and he is there.

703
00:41:00,083 --> 00:41:02,250
He eats with us, sleeps with us...

704
00:41:02,333 --> 00:41:06,083
Mark my words,
I love him as much as any human.

705
00:41:06,667 --> 00:41:08,583
I'd refuse 1,000 francs for him.

706
00:41:11,917 --> 00:41:14,583
I wager, captain sir,

707
00:41:15,250 --> 00:41:17,417
that you will not eat your ferret.

708
00:41:22,583 --> 00:41:25,250
Eat Kleber?

709
00:41:27,750 --> 00:41:29,083
Say that again, I dare you.

710
00:41:30,833 --> 00:41:32,167
I wager

711
00:41:33,083 --> 00:41:35,833
that you will not eat your ferret.

712
00:41:36,833 --> 00:41:39,000
I will not eat my ferret?

713
00:41:39,583 --> 00:41:41,000
What are you saying?

714
00:41:41,167 --> 00:41:43,500
You're saying I will not eat him?

715
00:41:45,083 --> 00:41:46,667
Well then, you'll see.

716
00:41:47,250 --> 00:41:49,000
I eat everything.

717
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,167
Nowadays, with all the vegetarians,

718
00:42:27,333 --> 00:42:28,833
animal rights and so on,

719
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:30,583
that scene should go.

720
00:42:30,750 --> 00:42:33,000
- What?
- It's a great scene.

721
00:42:33,083 --> 00:42:36,083
I don't know, Mirbeau loved to provoke.

722
00:42:36,250 --> 00:42:39,417
I'd hate to smooth the edges

723
00:42:39,583 --> 00:42:41,583
that make him so important.

724
00:42:42,083 --> 00:42:45,583
We're not smoothing any edges,
but provocation...

725
00:42:45,750 --> 00:42:47,083
Go pray in church.

726
00:42:47,250 --> 00:42:48,583
Throwing in racist...

727
00:42:48,750 --> 00:42:50,583
God always answers our prayers.

728
00:42:50,833 --> 00:42:52,750
But most often the answer is no.

729
00:42:52,917 --> 00:42:54,333
Get lost!

730
00:42:56,083 --> 00:42:59,833
Like I said,
provocation can be futile at times.

731
00:43:00,083 --> 00:43:03,333
Throwing in classism, racism,
or plain vulgarity

732
00:43:03,500 --> 00:43:04,667
is pointless.

733
00:43:04,833 --> 00:43:07,000
What are you talking about?
It's not racist!

734
00:43:07,167 --> 00:43:09,833
Mirbeau is against racism, right?

735
00:43:12,083 --> 00:43:13,083
No, hold on,

736
00:43:13,250 --> 00:43:16,083
we can't slaughter animals like that.

737
00:43:16,333 --> 00:43:17,917
It's...

738
00:43:17,917 --> 00:43:21,500
We need to respect animal rights, guys.
It's super important.

739
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:24,333
Sorry, but
what does "animal rights" mean?

740
00:43:24,583 --> 00:43:28,667
I worked in an abattoir in Spain
and there were no rights of any kind.

741
00:43:28,833 --> 00:43:30,417
They exploited us too.

742
00:43:30,833 --> 00:43:32,917
Gianina, you can't compare.

743
00:43:33,083 --> 00:43:37,083
It's one thing to kill animals
in a civilised way for food.

744
00:43:37,583 --> 00:43:39,750
But killing animals for fun

745
00:43:39,833 --> 00:43:42,250
or to avoid looking after some kittens...

746
00:43:42,583 --> 00:43:43,667
You're right,

747
00:43:43,833 --> 00:43:46,000
but I remember, about ten years ago,

748
00:43:46,167 --> 00:43:47,917
before I left the country,

749
00:43:48,083 --> 00:43:50,833
there was a funny story online
about a girl

750
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:52,333
from a country somewhere...

751
00:43:52,583 --> 00:43:54,750
- Yes, maybe...
- It's raining.

752
00:43:54,917 --> 00:43:56,500
But let me just say...

753
00:43:57,167 --> 00:43:58,500
Then we can go.

754
00:43:59,917 --> 00:44:02,583
Before I left home,
there was a funny story online

755
00:44:02,750 --> 00:44:04,083
about a girl somewhere

756
00:44:04,250 --> 00:44:05,833
who threw kittens in a river.

757
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:07,417
Everybody accused her...

758
00:44:07,583 --> 00:44:09,500
She was even taken to court.

759
00:44:09,583 --> 00:44:11,500
- Exactly.
- But in the countryside...

760
00:44:12,333 --> 00:44:15,833
at home, it's what you did
with kittens and puppies.

761
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:19,167
My grandmother carried them
in her apron to the river

762
00:44:19,333 --> 00:44:20,583
and threw them in...

763
00:44:22,833 --> 00:44:24,750
That's barbaric. It's horrible!

764
00:44:24,917 --> 00:44:26,833
No, come on, barbaric?

765
00:44:27,583 --> 00:44:29,083
What else could we do?

766
00:44:29,250 --> 00:44:31,833
We'd have been overrun
by dogs, cats and rats!

767
00:44:32,083 --> 00:44:34,083
Is there nowhere to take them?

768
00:44:34,250 --> 00:44:35,833
A shelter or anything?

769
00:44:36,083 --> 00:44:38,583
A shelter? No, there isn't.

770
00:44:38,750 --> 00:44:41,583
Anyway, in the shelters,
they killed them too.

771
00:44:41,750 --> 00:44:45,583
31 October

772
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:48,250
Look, love, Halloween stuff.

773
00:44:50,750 --> 00:44:52,500
Suck on that, you little shit!

774
00:45:01,333 --> 00:45:04,750
They're not happy
I've stopped looking after their son.

775
00:45:05,333 --> 00:45:07,583
Told you I'd stop doing that!

776
00:45:07,917 --> 00:45:11,333
Good! That ugly, stupid boy.

777
00:45:12,500 --> 00:45:15,250
But you stopped? You're sure?

778
00:45:15,583 --> 00:45:18,417
Yes! To hell with that idiot!

779
00:45:19,250 --> 00:45:23,500
"Janine, Janine, I'm hungry, j'ai faim!"

780
00:45:25,500 --> 00:45:29,083
Grandma keeps saying
Dad's abandoned us.

781
00:45:29,250 --> 00:45:31,500
Put your grandmother on!

782
00:45:32,333 --> 00:45:34,583
Grandma's sleeping.

783
00:45:35,583 --> 00:45:36,750
Grandma.

784
00:45:39,583 --> 00:45:41,083
How are you, mum?

785
00:45:44,167 --> 00:45:46,833
How do you expect?
Slaving as usual.

786
00:45:49,333 --> 00:45:53,917
Work, work, all day long.
The pigs, the chickens...

787
00:45:54,083 --> 00:45:55,750
I'm an old woman.

788
00:45:56,333 --> 00:45:59,333
Listen, stop telling her
stuff about her dad.

789
00:45:59,833 --> 00:46:01,917
And how he'll never be back.

790
00:46:02,083 --> 00:46:04,583
He'll come back, just later.

791
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:08,083
But I'm not telling her anything.

792
00:46:08,250 --> 00:46:09,333
Never have.

793
00:46:10,083 --> 00:46:13,167
I'm staying out of that,
it's your business.

794
00:46:14,417 --> 00:46:16,583
But she misses you so much.

795
00:46:16,750 --> 00:46:19,000
She's started crying at night again.

796
00:46:19,167 --> 00:46:20,583
Well, get her to stop.

797
00:46:20,750 --> 00:46:22,167
I'll be back soon.

798
00:46:22,833 --> 00:46:24,500
Look at this.

799
00:46:25,167 --> 00:46:27,083
She keeps count on the wall.

800
00:46:32,083 --> 00:46:33,333
See that?

801
00:46:34,250 --> 00:46:36,833
One line for each day that passes.

802
00:46:37,083 --> 00:46:38,500
One day, one line.

803
00:46:38,917 --> 00:46:41,833
In groups of seven, for each week.

804
00:46:43,083 --> 00:46:45,583
Just like prison inmates.

805
00:46:47,250 --> 00:46:48,333
That's good.

806
00:46:48,833 --> 00:46:50,167
I'll be home soon.

807
00:46:50,583 --> 00:46:51,750
Right, love?

808
00:46:51,833 --> 00:46:55,750
12 November

809
00:47:16,333 --> 00:47:19,333
Once upon a time,
there was an emperor and his empress

810
00:47:19,500 --> 00:47:21,500
who couldn't have children.

811
00:47:22,083 --> 00:47:24,333
An old faith healer told them,

812
00:47:25,083 --> 00:47:26,333
"I have a remedy

813
00:47:26,500 --> 00:47:29,083
"but you will only have a single son."

814
00:47:29,250 --> 00:47:30,333
Făt-Frumos.

815
00:47:30,833 --> 00:47:32,000
Făt-Frumos?

816
00:47:32,417 --> 00:47:33,917
Yes, Făt-Frumos.

817
00:47:34,083 --> 00:47:35,417
Prince Charming.

818
00:47:36,083 --> 00:47:37,333
The emperor and empress

819
00:47:37,500 --> 00:47:38,583
took the remedy

820
00:47:38,750 --> 00:47:41,083
and returned joyously to the palace.

821
00:47:41,833 --> 00:47:45,833
A few days later,
the empress sensed she was pregnant.

822
00:47:46,417 --> 00:47:49,333
Just before the hour of his birth,

823
00:47:49,583 --> 00:47:51,750
the child started to cry loudly.

824
00:47:52,500 --> 00:47:54,417
The emperor began to promise him

825
00:47:54,583 --> 00:47:56,333
every worldly good.

826
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:59,333
In vain! He kept crying.

827
00:48:00,250 --> 00:48:03,000
"Quiet, my little treasure,"
said the emperor.

828
00:48:03,083 --> 00:48:04,583
"For I will give you

829
00:48:04,833 --> 00:48:06,667
"such and such a kingdom.

830
00:48:07,083 --> 00:48:10,250
"Quiet, my son,
for I will give you as a wife

831
00:48:10,417 --> 00:48:12,250
"such and such a princess."

832
00:48:14,083 --> 00:48:17,417
Since the child was still not quiet,
the emperor told him,

833
00:48:18,250 --> 00:48:21,083
"Quiet, my son, for I will give you

834
00:48:21,417 --> 00:48:23,750
"youth without aging,

835
00:48:24,083 --> 00:48:26,333
"and life without death."

836
00:48:27,583 --> 00:48:29,917
Instantly, the child fell silent

837
00:48:30,083 --> 00:48:31,417
and was born.

838
00:48:32,833 --> 00:48:36,333
One day, when he had just turned fifteen,

839
00:48:37,083 --> 00:48:39,083
Făt-Frumos stood up and said,

840
00:48:40,083 --> 00:48:41,000
"Father,

841
00:48:41,167 --> 00:48:43,917
"the time has come for you
to keep the promise

842
00:48:44,083 --> 00:48:45,583
"you made to me at birth."

843
00:48:46,583 --> 00:48:48,667
The emperor felt his heart lurch.

844
00:48:49,583 --> 00:48:52,667
"But how can I give you
such a wondrous gift?

845
00:48:53,167 --> 00:48:54,917
"When I made that promise,

846
00:48:55,083 --> 00:48:57,083
"I meant only to console you."

847
00:48:58,500 --> 00:49:01,917
"If you cannot give me that, Father,

848
00:49:02,667 --> 00:49:05,167
"I shall have to roam the earth

849
00:49:05,333 --> 00:49:07,833
"until I find what was promised to me."

850
00:49:09,167 --> 00:49:12,167
Făt-Frumos went straight
to the royal stables,

851
00:49:12,333 --> 00:49:15,083
where the kingdom's finest stallions
were kept.

852
00:49:15,583 --> 00:49:17,333
He noticed a horse that was...

853
00:49:17,583 --> 00:49:20,250
skinny, pustular and sickly.

854
00:49:21,167 --> 00:49:23,417
He approached to take a closer look.

855
00:49:23,583 --> 00:49:27,333
As soon as he grasped its tail,
the horse spun around and said,

856
00:49:28,833 --> 00:49:30,750
"What are your orders, sire?"

857
00:49:31,333 --> 00:49:33,500
Făt-Frumos told the horse of his plan,

858
00:49:33,667 --> 00:49:35,333
and the horse replied,

859
00:49:36,833 --> 00:49:39,500
"It shall be done. Let's go!"

860
00:49:40,083 --> 00:49:41,250
They set off

861
00:49:41,417 --> 00:49:44,250
and soon they reached a field of flowers,

862
00:49:44,333 --> 00:49:46,583
where spring reigned eternal.

863
00:49:47,083 --> 00:49:48,583
The horse said to him,

864
00:49:50,583 --> 00:49:53,333
"Ahead of us looms the palace

865
00:49:53,500 --> 00:49:56,083
"where Youth Without Aging

866
00:49:56,250 --> 00:49:58,917
"and Life Without Death live."

867
00:49:59,417 --> 00:50:03,167
"The palace
is surrounded by a tall forest

868
00:50:03,333 --> 00:50:06,083
"where all the wild animals live."

869
00:50:06,667 --> 00:50:09,500
"Let us go
and may God have pity on us."

870
00:50:10,167 --> 00:50:11,833
They soared into the sky

871
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:14,333
and saw the palace
shimmering so brightly

872
00:50:14,583 --> 00:50:16,333
that they could not look at it.

873
00:50:17,250 --> 00:50:21,250
On the way past, with the tip of a hoof,
they brushed the treetops.

874
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:23,250
And suddenly,

875
00:50:23,833 --> 00:50:25,333
the forest came to life.

876
00:50:25,583 --> 00:50:29,083
The feral howls
made their hair stand on end.

877
00:50:29,833 --> 00:50:32,667
Were the lady of the palace
not in the courtyard,

878
00:50:32,833 --> 00:50:34,500
feeding her little ones,

879
00:50:35,500 --> 00:50:37,750
as she called the animals,

880
00:50:37,917 --> 00:50:42,000
they would certainly
have been torn to shreds.

881
00:50:42,667 --> 00:50:45,333
She was so pleased to see them

882
00:50:45,500 --> 00:50:49,583
she saved their lives
for she had never seen humans there.

883
00:50:49,833 --> 00:50:51,333
The lady of the palace

884
00:50:51,500 --> 00:50:54,000
was a tall, attractive fairy.

885
00:50:54,333 --> 00:50:56,583
He told her, "We are looking for

886
00:50:57,083 --> 00:50:59,000
"Youth Without Aging

887
00:50:59,167 --> 00:51:00,833
"and Life Without Death."

888
00:51:01,333 --> 00:51:03,000
"You'll find them here!"

889
00:51:04,083 --> 00:51:06,833
He dismounted
and entered the palace.

890
00:51:07,583 --> 00:51:09,917
There, he saw two other women.

891
00:51:10,417 --> 00:51:11,833
The fairy's sisters.

892
00:51:12,333 --> 00:51:15,083
He started by thanking her
for saving his life.

893
00:51:15,833 --> 00:51:19,833
They were so thrilled
that they made a delicious supper.

894
00:51:20,667 --> 00:51:24,833
The three young women
urged him to live with them from now on.

895
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:26,833
For, as they said,

896
00:51:27,583 --> 00:51:29,583
they'd had enough of solitude.

897
00:51:30,250 --> 00:51:32,333
Făt-Frumos agreed there and then.

898
00:51:32,917 --> 00:51:36,333
Gradually, they all grew accustomed
to each other.

899
00:51:36,500 --> 00:51:37,667
And soon,

900
00:51:38,083 --> 00:51:40,000
he married the youngest one.

901
00:51:40,750 --> 00:51:43,583
On their wedding day,
the sisters allowed him

902
00:51:43,750 --> 00:51:47,000
to go wherever he wished
in the vicinity,

903
00:51:47,083 --> 00:51:50,417
except for a valley
that they showed him,

904
00:51:50,583 --> 00:51:52,750
telling him to venture no further

905
00:51:52,833 --> 00:51:55,333
because it would bring bad luck.

906
00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:59,500
They added that the valley was named

907
00:51:59,667 --> 00:52:02,083
the Valley of Tears.

908
00:52:03,667 --> 00:52:07,417
He lost all sense of time
in the sisters' company.

909
00:52:07,583 --> 00:52:09,250
Time seemed not to pass,

910
00:52:09,667 --> 00:52:12,250
for he remained as young
as when he arrived.

911
00:52:12,417 --> 00:52:13,833
But, one day,

912
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:15,917
when he was out hunting,

913
00:52:16,583 --> 00:52:18,333
in pursuit of a rabbit,

914
00:52:18,833 --> 00:52:20,833
he let loose an arrow

915
00:52:21,083 --> 00:52:22,500
and missed.

916
00:52:23,083 --> 00:52:24,917
Angrily, he gave chase.

917
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:28,250
But the poor fellow,

918
00:52:28,333 --> 00:52:30,000
in his confusion,

919
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:33,833
failed to notice
that in his pursuit of the rabbit,

920
00:52:34,417 --> 00:52:36,667
he had entered the Valley of Tears.

921
00:52:36,833 --> 00:52:39,083
He was returning home,
quarry in hand,

922
00:52:39,750 --> 00:52:44,667
when he was suddenly overwhelmed
by boundless nostalgia for his parents.

923
00:52:45,750 --> 00:52:48,083
He did not dare mention it
to the sisters.

924
00:52:48,833 --> 00:52:50,167
But...

925
00:52:50,250 --> 00:52:53,833
they were alerted by his long face
and the dark circles under his eyes.

926
00:52:54,417 --> 00:52:55,917
"You wretch,

927
00:52:56,083 --> 00:52:58,833
"you ventured into the Valley of Tears,"

928
00:52:59,333 --> 00:53:01,000
they said in fright.

929
00:53:03,083 --> 00:53:04,250
"Yes.

930
00:53:04,417 --> 00:53:07,500
"Now I am dying to see my parents.

931
00:53:08,250 --> 00:53:09,583
"At the same time,

932
00:53:09,833 --> 00:53:12,583
"I do not have it in my heart
to leave you.

933
00:53:12,750 --> 00:53:15,333
"I shall visit my parents one last time.

934
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:19,583
"Then I shall return here,
never to leave again."

935
00:53:20,083 --> 00:53:21,667
"Do not leave us.

936
00:53:22,333 --> 00:53:27,083
"Your parents passed away
hundreds of years ago.

937
00:53:27,667 --> 00:53:29,500
"Likewise, if you leave,

938
00:53:29,667 --> 00:53:32,333
"we fear you shall never return."

939
00:53:32,750 --> 00:53:34,417
The young women's prayers

940
00:53:34,583 --> 00:53:38,500
could not appease his violent desire
to see his parents again.

941
00:53:39,583 --> 00:53:42,000
He was consumed by longing.

942
00:53:42,750 --> 00:53:45,250
Făt-Frumos made preparations
for his journey.

943
00:53:45,667 --> 00:53:47,250
He embraced the women

944
00:53:47,917 --> 00:53:50,583
and left them languishing behind,

945
00:53:50,750 --> 00:53:52,333
with tears in their eyes.

946
00:53:54,083 --> 00:53:57,583
Făt-Frumos and his horse
reached the lands

947
00:53:57,833 --> 00:53:59,667
of the witch Gheonoaia.

948
00:53:59,833 --> 00:54:02,750
There, they came across towns.

949
00:54:03,833 --> 00:54:06,083
The forests had been turned into fields.

950
00:54:07,167 --> 00:54:08,833
He asked after people he knew,

951
00:54:09,083 --> 00:54:12,750
and wondered
where Gheonoaia's lands had gone.

952
00:54:13,333 --> 00:54:14,833
The townspeople answered

953
00:54:15,750 --> 00:54:19,667
that their grandparents had indeed heard
from their own ancestors

954
00:54:19,833 --> 00:54:21,333
such fantastical tales.

955
00:54:22,833 --> 00:54:25,583
"How can this be?" asked Făt-Frumos.

956
00:54:26,333 --> 00:54:29,500
"I came through here not two days ago."

957
00:54:30,250 --> 00:54:32,417
The townspeople laughed at him,

958
00:54:32,583 --> 00:54:34,000
as if he were delirious.

959
00:54:35,250 --> 00:54:36,333
Upset,

960
00:54:36,833 --> 00:54:38,417
he continued on his way,

961
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:43,500
oblivious to the fact
his beard and hair had turned white.

962
00:54:43,667 --> 00:54:45,333
He was perplexed.

963
00:54:45,833 --> 00:54:49,750
How could these places have changed
so much in a few days?

964
00:54:51,250 --> 00:54:53,917
And so, he reached his father's kingdom.

965
00:54:54,500 --> 00:54:55,500
There...

966
00:54:56,333 --> 00:54:57,750
were new people

967
00:54:58,500 --> 00:54:59,833
and new towns.

968
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:04,083
Finally, at the palace
where he came into the world,

969
00:55:04,583 --> 00:55:07,500
seeing the palace in ruins

970
00:55:07,667 --> 00:55:09,583
and overrun by weeds,

971
00:55:10,250 --> 00:55:12,250
he sighed tearfully

972
00:55:13,333 --> 00:55:16,750
and tried to recall the former splendour
of the place.

973
00:55:16,833 --> 00:55:19,000
And the happy days of his childhood.

974
00:55:19,917 --> 00:55:21,583
All he found was a small trunk.

975
00:55:22,333 --> 00:55:24,583
When he raised its lid,

976
00:55:25,250 --> 00:55:29,000
the enfeebled voice of Death
murmured to him,

977
00:55:29,750 --> 00:55:34,167
"Be most welcome, Făt-Frumos.

978
00:55:34,667 --> 00:55:39,000
"If you had taken
even a short while longer

979
00:55:39,083 --> 00:55:43,000
"I would myself
have perished eventually."

980
00:55:43,833 --> 00:55:45,250
Saying this,

981
00:55:45,333 --> 00:55:48,917
Death,
which had shrivelled in the trunk,

982
00:55:49,083 --> 00:55:50,333
slapped him.

983
00:55:51,083 --> 00:55:52,333
That slight blow

984
00:55:53,083 --> 00:55:54,583
was enough to kill him.

985
00:55:55,333 --> 00:55:56,833
Immediately after,

986
00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:59,167
he turned to dust.

987
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:04,167
That's such a sad story.

988
00:56:05,750 --> 00:56:07,583
The years went by so fast

989
00:56:07,750 --> 00:56:10,333
that Făt-Frumos
did not see the time go by.

990
00:56:11,333 --> 00:56:14,083
And his parents had died long ago.

991
00:56:15,583 --> 00:56:19,417
23 November

992
00:56:56,083 --> 00:57:00,000
30 November

993
00:57:00,333 --> 00:57:01,500
See that?

994
00:57:01,667 --> 00:57:04,500
He had the face of a fat pig.

995
00:57:04,583 --> 00:57:07,083
Or more like a squirrel.

996
00:57:08,083 --> 00:57:09,167
You think?

997
00:57:10,333 --> 00:57:12,083
How about a fish?

998
00:57:12,333 --> 00:57:13,583
With the eyes...

999
00:57:14,583 --> 00:57:15,583
Of a demon!

1000
00:57:15,833 --> 00:57:18,333
You saw them? That man's eyes?

1001
00:57:20,750 --> 00:57:25,500
Look, all the Black slaves
they used to have.

1002
00:57:27,583 --> 00:57:29,750
These statues,

1003
00:57:30,750 --> 00:57:35,333
they're called "mascarons"
or something like that.

1004
00:57:37,500 --> 00:57:38,750
Look there.

1005
00:57:38,917 --> 00:57:40,083
Black faces!

1006
00:57:41,833 --> 00:57:43,083
See?

1007
00:57:59,667 --> 00:58:01,917
Look at the globe.

1008
00:58:05,667 --> 00:58:09,583
Was it you
who told Louen a story about...

1009
00:58:10,083 --> 00:58:12,833
a young man who leaves his home...

1010
00:58:13,583 --> 00:58:16,667
and he doesn't notice
the passing of time?

1011
00:58:16,833 --> 00:58:17,833
Yes.

1012
00:58:18,083 --> 00:58:20,917
- It's a Romanian fairy tale.
- I see.

1013
00:58:21,083 --> 00:58:22,417
There, I told you.

1014
00:58:23,583 --> 00:58:26,750
I'd like you to stop
telling him stories like that.

1015
00:58:27,417 --> 00:58:28,583
Of course.

1016
00:58:29,583 --> 00:58:30,833
Is something wrong?

1017
00:58:33,417 --> 00:58:35,333
Two nights running, he cried.

1018
00:58:35,583 --> 00:58:38,250
Last night, we had to console him
in our room.

1019
00:58:39,083 --> 00:58:41,083
He was scared we'd die. Anyway...

1020
00:58:41,333 --> 00:58:43,000
He was badly affected.

1021
00:58:43,583 --> 00:58:46,083
- I'm sorry.
- There's nothing to be sorry about.

1022
00:58:46,250 --> 00:58:49,250
I love the stories you tell.
They're superb.

1023
00:58:49,333 --> 00:58:52,500
I'd far rather you tell him those than...

1024
00:58:52,583 --> 00:58:54,333
mindless Asterix and Obelix.

1025
00:58:54,500 --> 00:58:56,583
With his crappy little dog.

1026
00:58:57,167 --> 00:58:59,333
That's the real scary stuff.

1027
00:58:59,500 --> 00:59:00,917
Scares the life out of me!

1028
00:59:01,083 --> 00:59:03,167
- Take it easy.
- No, it's Obelix!

1029
00:59:03,333 --> 00:59:05,083
Yes, all right, fine.

1030
00:59:06,333 --> 00:59:07,500
Besides that...

1031
00:59:07,667 --> 00:59:09,833
I've forgotten,
I didn't write it down.

1032
00:59:10,083 --> 00:59:11,417
You go away on...

1033
00:59:11,583 --> 00:59:13,000
the 22nd, right?

1034
00:59:13,167 --> 00:59:14,167
22 December?

1035
00:59:14,333 --> 00:59:15,750
And you're back when?

1036
00:59:15,833 --> 00:59:18,000
- 4 January.
- Yes, that's right.

1037
00:59:18,167 --> 00:59:19,417
All right.

1038
00:59:20,167 --> 00:59:22,000
The 22nd to the 4th.

1039
00:59:23,750 --> 00:59:25,000
Your daughter's well?

1040
00:59:25,417 --> 00:59:26,583
Yes, ma'am.

1041
00:59:27,667 --> 00:59:28,750
Not very well.

1042
00:59:28,917 --> 00:59:31,083
I mean, she misses me.

1043
00:59:31,583 --> 00:59:33,750
I understand.
But you'll see her soon.

1044
00:59:33,917 --> 00:59:34,333
Yes.

1045
00:59:34,500 --> 00:59:34,833
Yes.

1046
00:59:35,250 --> 00:59:36,250
She can't wait.

1047
00:59:37,083 --> 00:59:38,167
I can't either.

1048
00:59:38,333 --> 00:59:42,250
5 December

1049
00:59:51,417 --> 00:59:53,583
Khalil's been deported with his family.

1050
00:59:53,750 --> 00:59:55,333
Or is about to be.

1051
00:59:55,583 --> 00:59:56,583
How come?

1052
00:59:57,250 --> 01:00:00,083
It's my fault.
I posted on our website

1053
01:00:00,250 --> 01:00:03,417
about the play's premiere,
with a profile of Khalil.

1054
01:00:03,583 --> 01:00:05,500
It was going to be you next week.

1055
01:00:05,667 --> 01:00:07,333
I'm really so sorry.

1056
01:00:07,500 --> 01:00:09,833
It's not your fault.
How could you know?

1057
01:00:10,083 --> 01:00:11,500
What happened?

1058
01:00:12,250 --> 01:00:16,500
Mathilde posted
that it was a play performed by amateurs.

1059
01:00:16,667 --> 01:00:19,583
And that Khalil had been assaulted.

1060
01:00:19,917 --> 01:00:22,083
Beaten up by a customer and so on.

1061
01:00:22,333 --> 01:00:24,083
A moron of a student

1062
01:00:24,250 --> 01:00:27,500
asked the police
to investigate the matter

1063
01:00:27,667 --> 01:00:30,833
and charge the aggressors.
He only meant well.

1064
01:00:31,583 --> 01:00:34,583
But first of all,
the police checked his papers.

1065
01:00:34,750 --> 01:00:37,000
Irregularities were detected,

1066
01:00:37,583 --> 01:00:38,750
so they deported him.

1067
01:00:38,917 --> 01:00:41,833
He had big problems
we knew nothing about.

1068
01:00:42,083 --> 01:00:44,333
I messed up
but I swear I meant no harm.

1069
01:00:44,500 --> 01:00:45,917
I was trying to help him.

1070
01:00:46,083 --> 01:00:47,083
Of course.

1071
01:00:47,333 --> 01:00:48,833
Yes, but fucking hell!

1072
01:00:49,333 --> 01:00:50,917
If you'd asked me...

1073
01:00:51,417 --> 01:00:53,417
If you hadn't gone it alone,

1074
01:00:53,583 --> 01:00:54,833
it wouldn't have happened.

1075
01:00:55,083 --> 01:00:56,250
Hold on now,

1076
01:00:56,417 --> 01:00:59,250
how was I to know
his papers were problematic?

1077
01:00:59,417 --> 01:01:01,583
He told no one, he lied to us.

1078
01:01:01,750 --> 01:01:03,667
It never occurred to you to ask.

1079
01:01:03,833 --> 01:01:05,583
Just a simple question.

1080
01:01:05,833 --> 01:01:08,833
Basically,
you've destroyed our whole concept.

1081
01:01:09,583 --> 01:01:12,333
We work with non-professionals
to help them.

1082
01:01:12,583 --> 01:01:15,250
With the underprivileged and migrants.

1083
01:01:15,833 --> 01:01:17,500
It's community theatre.

1084
01:01:17,583 --> 01:01:19,167
Augusto Boal said it.

1085
01:01:19,333 --> 01:01:22,750
The aim is not to cause trouble
and get them deported.

1086
01:01:22,833 --> 01:01:25,750
- It's easy to say that now.
- No kidding.

1087
01:01:25,833 --> 01:01:29,750
I hold my hand up and get attacked.
Great community spirit!

1088
01:01:29,833 --> 01:01:32,333
A man gets deported and you...

1089
01:01:32,583 --> 01:01:35,500
You have an issue
with our community spirit!

1090
01:01:35,667 --> 01:01:40,000
Yes, it feels really shitty,
you guys not sharing responsibility.

1091
01:01:40,083 --> 01:01:42,333
When I uploaded the post,
everybody read it.

1092
01:01:42,500 --> 01:01:43,500
Nobody spoke up.

1093
01:01:43,667 --> 01:01:46,750
I was busy,
I just skimmed through it.

1094
01:01:46,833 --> 01:01:47,833
Yeah.

1095
01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:50,083
So much for the community spirit!

1096
01:01:50,250 --> 01:01:53,750
You're all piling on me
and nobody owns it.

1097
01:01:54,583 --> 01:01:56,833
Stop yelling at each other, please.

1098
01:01:57,333 --> 01:02:00,833
You know, Gianina,
it could easily have been you.

1099
01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:01,917
Me?

1100
01:02:02,083 --> 01:02:04,667
No, my papers are in order.

1101
01:02:04,833 --> 01:02:08,500
I'm here legally;
I came in through an agency.

1102
01:02:08,667 --> 01:02:12,333
They can't touch me,
and I'm from an EU country.

1103
01:02:14,083 --> 01:02:16,167
Anyway, Khalil, I'm really sorry,

1104
01:02:16,333 --> 01:02:18,417
but he had zero accent.

1105
01:02:18,583 --> 01:02:21,500
Nothing suggested
his immigration status was precarious.

1106
01:02:22,750 --> 01:02:25,583
There was nothing to show
he wasn't one of us.

1107
01:02:26,250 --> 01:02:28,583
There you go,
just like in Faulkner,

1108
01:02:28,833 --> 01:02:30,333
the white black man.

1109
01:02:35,500 --> 01:02:37,333
The question is, what now?

1110
01:02:39,333 --> 01:02:41,500
We give up, obviously. "What now?"

1111
01:02:41,583 --> 01:02:43,917
Without Khalil, there's no point.

1112
01:02:44,083 --> 01:02:47,500
I don't agree.
Our opening night's scheduled.

1113
01:02:48,500 --> 01:02:52,333
Leave me be,
I have a chicken to slaughter.

1114
01:02:52,500 --> 01:02:55,250
The lady asked me to do it.

1115
01:03:00,583 --> 01:03:05,000
Joseph is in charge
of killing chickens, rabbits and ducks.

1116
01:03:05,083 --> 01:03:08,250
He kills ducks
using an ancient method from Normandy

1117
01:03:08,333 --> 01:03:11,250
that involves
driving a needle into their heads.

1118
01:03:11,833 --> 01:03:16,750
He loves to prolong their agony
with sophisticated forms of torture.

1119
01:03:16,833 --> 01:03:19,500
He loves to plot and count

1120
01:03:19,667 --> 01:03:22,917
and feel in his hands
their death throes.

1121
01:03:23,083 --> 01:03:24,500
Their suffering.

1122
01:03:24,583 --> 01:03:25,583
Their death!

1123
01:03:27,833 --> 01:03:29,000
One time,

1124
01:03:29,167 --> 01:03:31,917
I witnessed a duck's death
at Joseph's hands.

1125
01:03:32,750 --> 01:03:34,917
One hand clasped its neck.

1126
01:03:35,583 --> 01:03:38,167
The other drove a needle in its skull,

1127
01:03:38,333 --> 01:03:40,750
in one slow, steady movement.

1128
01:03:41,833 --> 01:03:44,500
The animal had freed itself
from Joseph's kneehold.

1129
01:03:44,583 --> 01:03:47,083
Its wings kept flapping and flapping.

1130
01:03:47,833 --> 01:03:50,500
Even held by Joseph,
it spiralled horribly.

1131
01:03:52,417 --> 01:03:57,000
And then, Joseph tossed the animal
on the flags of the kitchen floor,

1132
01:03:57,500 --> 01:03:59,083
and elbows propped on knees,

1133
01:03:59,583 --> 01:04:02,250
he sat and watched,
with savage joy

1134
01:04:02,417 --> 01:04:04,667
and a hideously smug expression,

1135
01:04:04,833 --> 01:04:08,417
its convulsions, the frantic scraping
of its feet on the floor.

1136
01:04:11,333 --> 01:04:12,833
Finish it off, Joseph!

1137
01:04:13,333 --> 01:04:14,750
Kill it outright!

1138
01:04:14,917 --> 01:04:16,750
It's horrible to make animals suffer.

1139
01:04:16,917 --> 01:04:19,083
It has to suffer!

1140
01:04:19,583 --> 01:04:21,583
The more it suffers,

1141
01:04:21,750 --> 01:04:25,167
the better the blood tastes.

1142
01:04:26,083 --> 01:04:27,750
It amuses me.

1143
01:04:27,833 --> 01:04:34,667
I love it.

1144
01:04:34,667 --> 01:04:37,583
It was you
who raped little Claire in the woods.

1145
01:04:37,833 --> 01:04:39,917
Yes, I'm sure of it now.

1146
01:04:40,083 --> 01:04:41,333
It was you!

1147
01:04:41,583 --> 01:04:43,417
It was you, you old pig!

1148
01:04:44,083 --> 01:04:48,000
14 December

1149
01:04:48,333 --> 01:04:50,750
Mummy, look at all the snow!

1150
01:04:50,917 --> 01:04:55,667
When I come back from school,
I'll make a snowman!

1151
01:04:55,833 --> 01:04:57,500
He'll wait for you.

1152
01:04:57,667 --> 01:05:00,833
He won't melt with all that snow.

1153
01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:04,333
He'll be the awesomest snowman!

1154
01:05:06,333 --> 01:05:07,750
Look!

1155
01:05:24,833 --> 01:05:26,000
Fuck it!

1156
01:05:27,333 --> 01:05:29,167
Fucking stay there.

1157
01:05:30,750 --> 01:05:32,583
Fucking tinsel.

1158
01:05:48,750 --> 01:05:50,750
Look at the Santas, my love!

1159
01:05:51,583 --> 01:05:53,500
Heaps of them floating around!

1160
01:06:00,833 --> 01:06:04,583
16 December

1161
01:06:04,833 --> 01:06:06,333
You have to stop that.

1162
01:06:06,917 --> 01:06:08,417
Calm down, mummy.

1163
01:06:09,083 --> 01:06:10,500
Stop! No!

1164
01:06:11,583 --> 01:06:13,417
Stop it! Just calm down!

1165
01:06:13,583 --> 01:06:16,583
Respect people.
Stop yelling at them!

1166
01:06:17,833 --> 01:06:19,750
What? I already told you...

1167
01:06:19,917 --> 01:06:22,333
I told you to stay at home, didn't I?

1168
01:06:23,250 --> 01:06:26,333
I don't know,
she needs someone with her at all times.

1169
01:06:26,583 --> 01:06:28,750
- Everything okay?
- No, not okay!

1170
01:06:30,917 --> 01:06:32,917
Pierre's mother went out and fell.

1171
01:06:33,083 --> 01:06:35,833
- She was rushed to hospital.
- Oh my God!

1172
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:39,833
She slipped on black ice
and broke her leg.

1173
01:06:42,583 --> 01:06:43,833
Come on now.

1174
01:06:45,417 --> 01:06:47,583
- Is it serious?
- No, it's not serious.

1175
01:06:48,583 --> 01:06:51,000
I should cancel tonight's
dinner party, right?

1176
01:06:51,167 --> 01:06:53,333
- Yeah, sure.
- There we are.

1177
01:06:53,833 --> 01:06:55,167
I'll go up and finish...

1178
01:06:55,333 --> 01:06:57,500
So I need to call Jean-Baptiste.

1179
01:07:05,000 --> 01:07:06,083
Come on.

1180
01:07:06,500 --> 01:07:07,750
It'll be fine.

1181
01:07:09,250 --> 01:07:11,750
I don't want grandma to die.

1182
01:07:12,500 --> 01:07:14,083
What are you talking about?

1183
01:07:14,583 --> 01:07:16,333
For sure, she'll get better.

1184
01:07:17,000 --> 01:07:18,083
Not for sure.

1185
01:07:18,250 --> 01:07:19,500
For sure.

1186
01:07:22,500 --> 01:07:25,167
Yes, Jean-Baptiste, this is Marie.

1187
01:07:25,333 --> 01:07:26,500
Bad time?

1188
01:07:28,000 --> 01:07:29,500
Something's come up...

1189
01:07:29,667 --> 01:07:31,083
Do you want a story?

1190
01:07:31,250 --> 01:07:32,583
It's Pierre's mother.

1191
01:07:33,333 --> 01:07:35,333
She tripped and fell, of course.

1192
01:07:36,500 --> 01:07:38,333
Yes, sorry, we have to cancel.

1193
01:07:38,583 --> 01:07:42,417
18 December

1194
01:07:48,667 --> 01:07:51,083
Right here. Hold on, there's a code.

1195
01:07:52,083 --> 01:07:53,250
There we go.

1196
01:07:54,083 --> 01:07:55,333
Bring my bag!

1197
01:07:55,750 --> 01:07:57,417
Bring my bag, will you?

1198
01:07:57,917 --> 01:08:00,417
You look like Mishima
after his hara-kiri.

1199
01:08:00,583 --> 01:08:03,083
- With your bandage.
- I don't give a hoot!

1200
01:08:03,333 --> 01:08:05,583
- Can I help?
- No, it's fine.

1201
01:08:05,750 --> 01:08:06,583
Who's she?

1202
01:08:06,750 --> 01:08:08,083
- Sure?
- Yes.

1203
01:08:08,250 --> 01:08:10,583
It's all good. We're fine.

1204
01:08:13,833 --> 01:08:15,583
There we are, all done.

1205
01:08:15,750 --> 01:08:17,250
Here, let me...

1206
01:08:18,333 --> 01:08:20,083
Everything's just fine.

1207
01:08:20,250 --> 01:08:22,000
Take my slipper off.

1208
01:08:22,500 --> 01:08:23,500
Pierre!

1209
01:08:23,667 --> 01:08:25,083
How are you, Anne?

1210
01:08:25,583 --> 01:08:26,500
Look, mummy...

1211
01:08:26,583 --> 01:08:28,833
- I'm not very well.
- How can I help?

1212
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:30,083
Here, look...

1213
01:08:31,667 --> 01:08:33,667
This button raises it. Look.

1214
01:08:33,833 --> 01:08:35,583
The room's not too cold?

1215
01:08:35,833 --> 01:08:38,000
There's a remote control, mummy.

1216
01:08:38,167 --> 01:08:39,750
Press here and it goes up.

1217
01:08:40,250 --> 01:08:42,667
See? And press here...

1218
01:08:42,833 --> 01:08:44,583
Yes, my boy, I see.

1219
01:08:44,750 --> 01:08:48,583
20 December

1220
01:09:10,083 --> 01:09:11,750
We have a favour to ask.

1221
01:09:11,917 --> 01:09:13,083
A big favour.

1222
01:09:14,333 --> 01:09:17,833
You know our skiing holiday's booked
for tomorrow.

1223
01:09:18,417 --> 01:09:20,583
We have two options. Either...

1224
01:09:21,417 --> 01:09:24,667
we cancel our skiing holiday,

1225
01:09:24,833 --> 01:09:27,583
which would be a tragedy for Louen.
He loves skiing.

1226
01:09:27,833 --> 01:09:30,083
He waits for it
like it's the Second Coming.

1227
01:09:30,250 --> 01:09:33,083
Or, we thought, perhaps
you could postpone

1228
01:09:33,250 --> 01:09:34,833
your...

1229
01:09:35,083 --> 01:09:36,167
I mean...

1230
01:09:36,333 --> 01:09:37,667
your trip to Romania

1231
01:09:37,833 --> 01:09:40,333
so you're free to look after mummy.

1232
01:09:40,500 --> 01:09:42,667
Have you looked after
elderly people before?

1233
01:09:44,583 --> 01:09:46,500
- See? It works fine.
- That's not the issue.

1234
01:09:46,583 --> 01:09:48,417
It wouldn't be a problem.

1235
01:09:49,083 --> 01:09:51,000
But my daughter's expecting me.

1236
01:09:51,083 --> 01:09:53,917
I promised to go home.
She's expecting me.

1237
01:09:54,333 --> 01:09:55,167
Yes.

1238
01:09:55,250 --> 01:09:56,250
We know.

1239
01:09:56,333 --> 01:09:58,833
That's why we'll change our return flight

1240
01:09:59,000 --> 01:10:02,333
to be back on 30 December
instead of 5 January.

1241
01:10:04,333 --> 01:10:07,083
But my flight's in two days.
I have a ticket.

1242
01:10:07,667 --> 01:10:09,833
Don't worry about a thing.
We'll get you another one.

1243
01:10:10,833 --> 01:10:11,250
So...

1244
01:10:11,417 --> 01:10:13,583
you can fly out on 1 January.

1245
01:10:14,833 --> 01:10:18,083
5 January
would be just perfect, Gianina.

1246
01:10:18,333 --> 01:10:20,500
No. Please, the 1st at least.

1247
01:10:20,583 --> 01:10:21,833
1 January.

1248
01:10:22,000 --> 01:10:24,250
I've put it off too long for Maria.

1249
01:10:24,417 --> 01:10:25,750
All right.

1250
01:10:27,583 --> 01:10:28,833
Please...

1251
01:10:29,667 --> 01:10:32,333
31 December, does that work?

1252
01:10:32,500 --> 01:10:35,750
To be there for New Year's.
It's important for Maria.

1253
01:10:35,833 --> 01:10:38,667
There's only a seat in Business Class
on the 1st.

1254
01:10:39,250 --> 01:10:40,333
Should we take it?

1255
01:10:40,583 --> 01:10:41,833
We'll take it.

1256
01:10:42,167 --> 01:10:44,583
But you know you'll get a little extra.

1257
01:10:44,833 --> 01:10:46,333
We'll top up your pay.

1258
01:10:46,917 --> 01:10:48,333
It's not necessary, thanks.

1259
01:10:48,500 --> 01:10:50,667
Sure it is,
it's important to compensate you.

1260
01:10:50,833 --> 01:10:52,250
No arguing.

1261
01:10:53,917 --> 01:10:55,583
We'll bring your bed down.

1262
01:10:56,083 --> 01:10:58,583
It could be easier
to stay in the attic

1263
01:10:58,750 --> 01:11:01,833
and ask Madam Anne to call me
when she needs me.

1264
01:11:02,000 --> 01:11:03,583
I mean, sleep upstairs.

1265
01:11:03,833 --> 01:11:06,250
- And come down during the day.
- Perfect.

1266
01:11:06,333 --> 01:11:08,083
Shall we take this one?

1267
01:11:08,250 --> 01:11:10,083
It's the most expensive, but never mind.

1268
01:11:10,250 --> 01:11:11,250
All right.

1269
01:11:11,917 --> 01:11:13,083
Never mind.

1270
01:11:13,250 --> 01:11:14,583
- Shall I book it?
- That's fine.

1271
01:11:20,833 --> 01:11:24,750
21 December

1272
01:11:25,833 --> 01:11:29,583
It's sad to end up like this,
in nappies!

1273
01:11:31,333 --> 01:11:34,917
The nappies are only temporary.
Not for long, don't worry.

1274
01:11:35,083 --> 01:11:36,833
- It's nothing.
- It'll heal quickly.

1275
01:11:37,083 --> 01:11:40,083
It's just a broken leg.
You'll be as good as new soon.

1276
01:11:40,833 --> 01:11:42,583
- It's next to nothing.
- Stop...

1277
01:11:42,750 --> 01:11:44,000
- Please!
- Be gentle.

1278
01:11:44,167 --> 01:11:45,167
Stop!

1279
01:11:45,333 --> 01:11:47,250
Don't be embarrassed with me.

1280
01:11:47,333 --> 01:11:50,083
You know, I'm very experienced.

1281
01:11:50,250 --> 01:11:51,583
I was a badante.

1282
01:11:53,667 --> 01:11:54,833
Is that what you...

1283
01:11:55,000 --> 01:11:56,250
Stop it, will you?

1284
01:11:56,333 --> 01:11:58,750
- In French, bandante means...
- Yes...

1285
01:11:58,833 --> 01:12:02,000
It means, it's like when...

1286
01:12:02,167 --> 01:12:03,250
We know.

1287
01:12:03,333 --> 01:12:06,250
It's what you call women who give...

1288
01:12:07,250 --> 01:12:08,583
men an erection.

1289
01:12:08,833 --> 01:12:10,583
I've cared for patients with Alzheimer's.

1290
01:12:10,833 --> 01:12:13,333
I don't have Alzheimer's.

1291
01:12:13,500 --> 01:12:14,917
No, of course not.

1292
01:12:15,083 --> 01:12:16,750
I was just saying.

1293
01:12:18,083 --> 01:12:20,583
You're sweet.
I can tell, you're a sweetie.

1294
01:12:20,750 --> 01:12:22,000
We'll get on fine.

1295
01:12:22,167 --> 01:12:23,167
Yes!

1296
01:12:23,917 --> 01:12:25,417
- Just fine.
- You're a love.

1297
01:12:25,583 --> 01:12:28,333
Mummy, if you had Alzheimer's,
you'd never know.

1298
01:12:29,750 --> 01:12:32,250
I wanted to give you a little gift for...

1299
01:12:32,833 --> 01:12:36,083
For Christmas,
so you can go shopping, buy clothes...

1300
01:12:40,750 --> 01:12:42,000
That's for Christmas.

1301
01:12:42,167 --> 01:12:43,667
- Thanks.
- Our little gift.

1302
01:12:43,833 --> 01:12:46,667
And this is what we discussed...

1303
01:12:47,500 --> 01:12:49,583
For you staying with my mother.

1304
01:12:50,167 --> 01:12:52,083
All there. Count it, if you want.

1305
01:12:52,250 --> 01:12:53,750
Thank you so very much.

1306
01:12:53,917 --> 01:12:55,667
No, I should be thanking you.

1307
01:12:56,333 --> 01:12:57,750
And as Léon Bloy used to say,

1308
01:12:57,917 --> 01:13:01,500
who knows whether the winner
is the one who gives or receives?

1309
01:13:02,583 --> 01:13:04,667
I like to think that I...

1310
01:13:04,833 --> 01:13:07,083
I win by giving to you, see?

1311
01:13:07,333 --> 01:13:09,167
- Yes, sir.
- It's my pleasure.

1312
01:13:10,917 --> 01:13:13,500
And little Louen is delighted by...

1313
01:13:14,583 --> 01:13:16,000
He adores your stories.

1314
01:13:16,167 --> 01:13:19,083
It's way better
than Asterix and Obelix because...

1315
01:13:20,000 --> 01:13:22,500
Obelix is just disgusting
with his fat belly.

1316
01:13:22,667 --> 01:13:23,833
It's disgusting!

1317
01:13:24,333 --> 01:13:28,083
Whereas your story
about the walking cup-and-ball is...

1318
01:13:28,250 --> 01:13:29,500
It's full of joy.

1319
01:13:29,667 --> 01:13:32,750
Even if the cup-and-ball breaks
in the end, right?

1320
01:13:32,917 --> 01:13:34,333
Is that right? It breaks?

1321
01:13:34,833 --> 01:13:36,583
You should change that story.

1322
01:13:37,333 --> 01:13:38,583
Change the ending...

1323
01:13:38,750 --> 01:13:42,167
Let's say the cup-and-ball
isn't broken at the end,

1324
01:13:42,333 --> 01:13:44,000
it's full of joy.

1325
01:13:44,083 --> 01:13:46,500
That's a wonderful story
for little Louen.

1326
01:13:46,667 --> 01:13:50,583
23 December

1327
01:13:50,750 --> 01:13:52,417
That's lovely, sweetie!

1328
01:13:52,583 --> 01:13:54,167
I couldn't find a topper,

1329
01:13:54,333 --> 01:13:58,833
but grandma will get
the tinsel from the attic tomorrow.

1330
01:13:59,083 --> 01:14:02,500
- It's old, but...
- Wow, that red one!

1331
01:14:02,667 --> 01:14:04,333
I had that as a kid!

1332
01:14:04,833 --> 01:14:07,500
Go back in
before you catch a cold.

1333
01:14:09,000 --> 01:14:12,333
Look, grandma's bought firewood.

1334
01:14:12,667 --> 01:14:15,000
The house is warmer now!

1335
01:14:15,583 --> 01:14:18,333
I know, I sent her the money.

1336
01:14:19,333 --> 01:14:20,833
I know.

1337
01:14:21,000 --> 01:14:22,750
Well, see?

1338
01:14:23,250 --> 01:14:25,750
It's good to have money.

1339
01:14:27,583 --> 01:14:30,500
My love, here's the thing...

1340
01:14:31,083 --> 01:14:33,000
I'll be a few days late.

1341
01:14:33,667 --> 01:14:35,083
What?

1342
01:14:35,250 --> 01:14:39,833
Yes, love, their grandma
slipped and fell like an idiot.

1343
01:14:40,083 --> 01:14:42,917
I need to stay and wipe her butt.

1344
01:14:44,000 --> 01:14:45,750
They're paying me loads.

1345
01:14:45,917 --> 01:14:47,583
I don't want that!

1346
01:14:47,750 --> 01:14:49,167
You swore you'd come!

1347
01:14:49,333 --> 01:14:52,333
You said it yourself! You lied to me!

1348
01:14:52,750 --> 01:14:55,583
I didn't, my love. That's life.

1349
01:14:55,917 --> 01:14:58,333
Sometimes you do what you must,

1350
01:14:58,500 --> 01:15:00,750
not what you want.

1351
01:15:02,167 --> 01:15:04,750
What difference does it make if...

1352
01:15:04,833 --> 01:15:07,333
You're an idiot and a liar!

1353
01:15:07,500 --> 01:15:09,583
Idiot! Go to hell!

1354
01:15:21,583 --> 01:15:24,000
Come on, don't be silly.

1355
01:15:24,167 --> 01:15:26,833
Mummy will bring you lots of presents!

1356
01:15:27,000 --> 01:15:30,000
I promise!
And you can come here in spring.

1357
01:15:32,250 --> 01:15:34,500
Mummy will come loaded with gifts,

1358
01:15:34,667 --> 01:15:36,583
just like Santa in picture books!

1359
01:15:36,833 --> 01:15:38,333
What's wrong with the kid?

1360
01:15:40,583 --> 01:15:42,833
I have bad news.

1361
01:15:43,000 --> 01:15:45,167
They're working me to the bone.

1362
01:15:45,333 --> 01:15:47,833
Their old bat slipped and fell.

1363
01:15:48,083 --> 01:15:50,750
I need to stay to wipe her backside.

1364
01:15:52,083 --> 01:15:55,583
The poor girl has been
waiting for you like...

1365
01:15:55,833 --> 01:15:57,083
I can't help it!

1366
01:15:57,583 --> 01:16:00,250
Just reassure her a few more days.

1367
01:16:01,583 --> 01:16:03,000
Just a few days.

1368
01:16:04,083 --> 01:16:07,000
Fuck that stupid old bat.

1369
01:16:07,083 --> 01:16:09,333
Die, you fucking idiot.

1370
01:16:11,750 --> 01:16:13,833
Just call me Anne, will you?

1371
01:16:14,000 --> 01:16:15,833
No, really.

1372
01:16:16,417 --> 01:16:17,750
I can't do it.

1373
01:16:18,083 --> 01:16:19,833
How could I do such a thing?

1374
01:16:20,500 --> 01:16:22,000
I'm terribly embarrassed.

1375
01:16:22,167 --> 01:16:23,083
Don't be.

1376
01:16:23,333 --> 01:16:26,750
Hold on, as if you're on a bus,
and lift yourself up.

1377
01:16:27,417 --> 01:16:28,583
Exactly.

1378
01:16:28,750 --> 01:16:30,583
Lift up your hips. Perfect.

1379
01:16:30,750 --> 01:16:33,583
This one person,
an Alzheimer's patient...

1380
01:16:33,833 --> 01:16:36,917
I looked after him
until he died tragically.

1381
01:16:38,833 --> 01:16:41,250
- I don't have Alzheimer's.
- I know.

1382
01:16:41,333 --> 01:16:42,583
God forbid.

1383
01:16:43,583 --> 01:16:45,000
Stop saying that.

1384
01:16:45,167 --> 01:16:47,083
You attract the forces of evil.

1385
01:16:48,083 --> 01:16:50,000
A real bother, the Alzheimer's guy?

1386
01:16:50,167 --> 01:16:51,833
No, not at all.

1387
01:16:52,083 --> 01:16:54,333
They're the best patients, actually.

1388
01:16:54,500 --> 01:16:55,833
There's nothing to do.

1389
01:16:56,000 --> 01:16:58,083
They behave like little kids.

1390
01:16:58,250 --> 01:16:59,500
Real cuties.

1391
01:17:00,583 --> 01:17:02,000
You're very beautiful.

1392
01:17:03,750 --> 01:17:05,500
Fuck your stinky ass.

1393
01:17:07,333 --> 01:17:11,167
24 December

1394
01:17:17,417 --> 01:17:19,333
They're called Călușarii.

1395
01:17:21,333 --> 01:17:23,833
- How amusing.
- Yes, they're fun.

1396
01:17:25,000 --> 01:17:26,750
That's Ceausescu's palace?

1397
01:17:26,917 --> 01:17:27,833
Yes.

1398
01:17:28,000 --> 01:17:29,833
The House of the People.

1399
01:17:30,833 --> 01:17:32,250
Casa Poporului.

1400
01:17:32,583 --> 01:17:33,500
You know, I...

1401
01:17:34,750 --> 01:17:37,583
When I was young,
and I'm ashamed to admit it,

1402
01:17:37,750 --> 01:17:39,000
my friends and I

1403
01:17:39,500 --> 01:17:41,083
loved Ceausescu.

1404
01:17:42,500 --> 01:17:46,083
Yes, because he was part of
the Non-Aligned Movement, and he was...

1405
01:17:46,250 --> 01:17:47,500
for Palestine,

1406
01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:49,083
against apartheid...

1407
01:17:50,833 --> 01:17:54,833
It was only after the revolution in...

1408
01:17:55,833 --> 01:17:58,833
- December '89.
- Exactly.

1409
01:17:59,000 --> 01:18:01,583
It was only after the revolution...

1410
01:18:01,750 --> 01:18:04,083
After the revolution in '89,

1411
01:18:04,250 --> 01:18:07,833
that we realised what a monster he was.

1412
01:18:09,083 --> 01:18:11,583
A lot of Romanians
are nostalgic for him.

1413
01:18:11,750 --> 01:18:13,000
Me too.

1414
01:18:13,083 --> 01:18:16,333
Apparently, he worked
for the good of the people.

1415
01:18:17,500 --> 01:18:19,250
People's memories are short.

1416
01:18:19,333 --> 01:18:23,083
They forget the shops were empty,
there was no food.

1417
01:18:23,333 --> 01:18:24,583
There was no heating.

1418
01:18:24,833 --> 01:18:26,333
They forget all that.

1419
01:18:26,500 --> 01:18:27,750
So it goes.

1420
01:18:28,167 --> 01:18:29,500
Yes, but...

1421
01:18:30,083 --> 01:18:30,917
But what?

1422
01:18:31,667 --> 01:18:33,667
I have to say, I was...

1423
01:18:33,833 --> 01:18:35,583
I was very political.

1424
01:18:35,750 --> 01:18:38,667
Very politically active when I was young.

1425
01:18:38,833 --> 01:18:40,583
- Really?
- Really.

1426
01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:42,833
I was part of May '68.

1427
01:18:43,333 --> 01:18:44,583
What was that?

1428
01:18:45,083 --> 01:18:49,417
It was a movement
of young people demanding change.

1429
01:18:51,250 --> 01:18:54,500
And even today, you can be sure

1430
01:18:54,583 --> 01:18:57,750
that what we did was good.
We achieved change.

1431
01:18:58,583 --> 01:18:59,750
That's right.

1432
01:18:59,917 --> 01:19:02,000
All the good guys were on our side.

1433
01:19:02,167 --> 01:19:05,000
There was Sartre, there was Foucault.

1434
01:19:05,167 --> 01:19:07,583
It was fabulous.

1435
01:19:08,750 --> 01:19:12,083
We went on demos,
we wanted the workers on our side.

1436
01:19:12,333 --> 01:19:14,083
We'd left the universities

1437
01:19:14,250 --> 01:19:15,833
and we were...

1438
01:19:17,083 --> 01:19:19,917
We wanted to bring
Chinese communism

1439
01:19:20,083 --> 01:19:21,333
to Paris.

1440
01:19:21,833 --> 01:19:24,500
Yes, we were Maoists.

1441
01:19:25,083 --> 01:19:26,917
- Wonderful.
- Yes.

1442
01:19:27,333 --> 01:19:31,083
A TV channel sent a correspondent

1443
01:19:31,333 --> 01:19:32,417
to report from Mao's China.

1444
01:19:32,500 --> 01:19:34,083
Her name was Marceline...

1445
01:19:35,500 --> 01:19:38,083
Marceline Loridan-Ivens.

1446
01:19:41,250 --> 01:19:43,083
- A correspondent?
- I swallowed...

1447
01:19:43,333 --> 01:19:44,333
I'm fine.

1448
01:19:45,083 --> 01:19:49,000
She was told
to ask the Chinese prime minister,

1449
01:19:49,167 --> 01:19:52,083
under Mao,
whose name was Zhou Enlai...

1450
01:19:53,833 --> 01:19:57,583
To find out what he thought
of our movement, you see?

1451
01:19:58,833 --> 01:20:00,250
When she came back,

1452
01:20:00,417 --> 01:20:02,333
she told us his answer.

1453
01:20:02,833 --> 01:20:04,000
Which was?

1454
01:20:04,083 --> 01:20:06,833
Go back to university!

1455
01:20:09,750 --> 01:20:13,667
We wanted to take to the streets
with the workers, you see?

1456
01:20:14,583 --> 01:20:15,833
We were...

1457
01:20:16,750 --> 01:20:18,500
We were disappointed, you know.

1458
01:20:19,083 --> 01:20:20,750
And I was young.

1459
01:20:20,833 --> 01:20:22,500
We were idealists.

1460
01:20:24,833 --> 01:20:27,000
I'm 80 years old, I have osteoporosis,

1461
01:20:27,167 --> 01:20:29,083
my health is declining...

1462
01:20:29,583 --> 01:20:32,750
No, you've aged really well.
Honestly!

1463
01:20:32,833 --> 01:20:34,667
This fucking carcass is just fine!

1464
01:20:34,833 --> 01:20:36,500
So I'm putting on an act?

1465
01:20:38,583 --> 01:20:40,000
Wasn't it...

1466
01:20:41,333 --> 01:20:43,333
on Christmas Day that he was...

1467
01:20:44,000 --> 01:20:45,250
decapitated?

1468
01:20:45,917 --> 01:20:47,083
Ceausescu.

1469
01:20:50,667 --> 01:20:52,667
25 December, 1989.

1470
01:20:52,833 --> 01:20:54,583
- 1989?
- Yes.

1471
01:20:55,583 --> 01:20:56,750
It was...

1472
01:20:57,750 --> 01:20:59,917
It was jaw-dropping, wasn't it?

1473
01:21:00,833 --> 01:21:02,583
I've only seen it on YouTube.

1474
01:21:03,083 --> 01:21:05,500
His wife yelling
at soldiers tying her up,

1475
01:21:05,750 --> 01:21:07,333
"My children!

1476
01:21:07,500 --> 01:21:09,500
"Don't tie me up!

1477
01:21:09,583 --> 01:21:11,417
"You are my children!"

1478
01:21:12,083 --> 01:21:15,000
- You like acting, don't you?
- I guess.

1479
01:21:17,083 --> 01:21:19,583
- You want to be an actress?
- No.

1480
01:21:20,000 --> 01:21:23,000
But madam suggested I act in a play

1481
01:21:23,083 --> 01:21:24,833
at the Literature Faculty.

1482
01:21:25,083 --> 01:21:26,583
- Really?
- Yes.

1483
01:21:27,833 --> 01:21:30,583
Can you act out a scene from your play?

1484
01:21:30,750 --> 01:21:32,000
Yes.

1485
01:21:32,583 --> 01:21:35,333
She was a young woman from Brittany.

1486
01:21:35,583 --> 01:21:38,333
Madam came over to talk to her.

1487
01:21:40,083 --> 01:21:41,333
"Goodness me!

1488
01:21:42,417 --> 01:21:44,333
"How tiny you are!

1489
01:21:45,083 --> 01:21:47,083
"Why did you leave home?"

1490
01:21:48,167 --> 01:21:49,583
"Because...

1491
01:21:51,667 --> 01:21:53,250
"My father beat me.

1492
01:21:54,083 --> 01:21:55,500
"My mother beat me.

1493
01:21:56,250 --> 01:21:57,833
"Everybody beat me."

1494
01:21:59,167 --> 01:22:01,083
"Why did everyone beat you?"

1495
01:22:02,500 --> 01:22:04,083
"I don't know.

1496
01:22:04,333 --> 01:22:06,750
"In every family,
there's always one girl

1497
01:22:06,833 --> 01:22:09,000
"who is beaten because..."

1498
01:22:12,250 --> 01:22:15,333
"How ugly you are, little one!

1499
01:22:16,583 --> 01:22:19,083
"If I take you on, it's because...

1500
01:22:19,250 --> 01:22:20,917
"I feel sorry for you."

1501
01:22:21,583 --> 01:22:24,833
"You see, little one,
this is a unique opportunity

1502
01:22:25,000 --> 01:22:27,250
"that won't come along again.

1503
01:22:27,333 --> 01:22:29,333
"I am not like all the others.

1504
01:22:30,833 --> 01:22:32,500
"I am alone.

1505
01:22:33,333 --> 01:22:35,083
"I have nobody.

1506
01:22:35,250 --> 01:22:36,750
"My family

1507
01:22:36,833 --> 01:22:38,333
"is my maid.

1508
01:22:39,667 --> 01:22:42,750
"What do I ask of my maid?

1509
01:22:43,833 --> 01:22:45,250
"To love me

1510
01:22:45,833 --> 01:22:47,000
"a little.

1511
01:22:49,500 --> 01:22:50,750
"That's all.

1512
01:22:51,500 --> 01:22:52,917
"My maid

1513
01:22:54,083 --> 01:22:55,583
"lives with me,

1514
01:22:55,750 --> 01:22:56,833
"eats with me,

1515
01:22:57,000 --> 01:22:58,417
"except for the wine.

1516
01:22:59,083 --> 01:23:01,167
"Sleeps with me.

1517
01:23:02,833 --> 01:23:04,000
"When I die...

1518
01:23:04,500 --> 01:23:07,000
"because I am very old

1519
01:23:07,667 --> 01:23:09,000
"and sickly...

1520
01:23:10,083 --> 01:23:11,417
"When I die...

1521
01:23:12,083 --> 01:23:14,083
"Come closer, little one.

1522
01:23:18,333 --> 01:23:22,000
"Goodness me,
what is wrong with you?

1523
01:23:23,167 --> 01:23:25,083
"What is that odour of yours?

1524
01:23:25,833 --> 01:23:29,500
"So you have corruption in your body?

1525
01:23:30,250 --> 01:23:32,417
"So you have cancer in your nose,

1526
01:23:32,583 --> 01:23:34,500
"in your stomach perhaps?"

1527
01:23:36,333 --> 01:23:37,500
"That...

1528
01:23:38,000 --> 01:23:39,583
"is my big failing."

1529
01:23:49,333 --> 01:23:50,833
What's this here?

1530
01:23:51,250 --> 01:23:53,500
Hey, sweetheart, do you love me?

1531
01:23:53,583 --> 01:23:54,917
Sweetheart!

1532
01:23:56,167 --> 01:23:59,833
Bitch! Fuck you
and your dirty, rotten cunt!

1533
01:24:09,250 --> 01:24:14,000
Why won't you pick up?
Neither you, nor Maria!

1534
01:24:14,500 --> 01:24:17,583
What the hell?
I told you I need to talk to her!

1535
01:24:18,667 --> 01:24:20,417
Call back right away!

1536
01:24:32,000 --> 01:24:35,833
25 December

1537
01:24:49,583 --> 01:24:52,167
- What's that?
- A Christmas movie.

1538
01:25:33,667 --> 01:25:37,000
Why the fuck don't you answer?
I keep calling.

1539
01:25:39,000 --> 01:25:40,083
What?

1540
01:25:42,417 --> 01:25:43,583
Come again?

1541
01:25:44,833 --> 01:25:46,333
What happened to her?

1542
01:25:47,750 --> 01:25:49,083
Just tell me!

1543
01:25:50,750 --> 01:25:51,833
Put her on.

1544
01:25:53,583 --> 01:25:55,417
Why can't I talk to her?

1545
01:25:57,750 --> 01:25:59,333
Put her on the phone!

1546
01:26:02,000 --> 01:26:03,583
Okay, I'll come.

1547
01:26:04,500 --> 01:26:06,000
My daughter...

1548
01:26:16,750 --> 01:26:19,500
Hello, I'm glad you answered.

1549
01:26:24,833 --> 01:26:25,833
My daughter,

1550
01:26:27,583 --> 01:26:30,583
tried to commit suicide
using rat poison.

1551
01:26:33,250 --> 01:26:35,583
I have to fly to Romania urgently.

1552
01:26:37,417 --> 01:26:39,833
No, she isn't dead but...

1553
01:26:40,333 --> 01:26:42,083
It's serious. She's in hospital.

1554
01:26:42,250 --> 01:26:44,083
They pumped her stomach.

1555
01:26:47,667 --> 01:26:49,583
I'm sorry but I have to go.

1556
01:26:51,583 --> 01:26:53,583
She tried to kill herself.

1557
01:26:53,750 --> 01:26:55,333
With rat poison.

1558
01:26:56,833 --> 01:26:58,750
What? I don't understand a word.

1559
01:26:59,167 --> 01:27:02,750
My daughter tried to kill herself
with rat poison.

1560
01:27:02,833 --> 01:27:04,250
Rat poison?

1561
01:27:05,417 --> 01:27:06,583
Why?

1562
01:27:08,333 --> 01:27:10,083
She said she missed me.

1563
01:27:10,250 --> 01:27:11,833
I told her I was coming.

1564
01:27:12,000 --> 01:27:15,000
I told her I would be
just a bit delayed.

1565
01:27:15,083 --> 01:27:17,750
With you, I couldn't just leave.

1566
01:27:18,333 --> 01:27:20,833
Why couldn't she wait a few more days?

1567
01:27:21,000 --> 01:27:22,750
- How old is she?
- Nine.

1568
01:27:23,833 --> 01:27:26,000
How can a nine-year-old
be suicidal?

1569
01:27:27,500 --> 01:27:28,667
How is she now?

1570
01:27:45,583 --> 01:27:47,917
You're not lying
about her being fine?

1571
01:27:50,333 --> 01:27:52,000
Put her on the phone.

1572
01:27:53,833 --> 01:27:55,083
Why won't she?

1573
01:27:57,500 --> 01:28:00,833
Tell her there's no reason
to be upset, damn it!

1574
01:28:06,000 --> 01:28:07,750
Send me a video of her.

1575
01:28:09,000 --> 01:28:11,667
Because I want to see
that she's all right!

1576
01:28:13,667 --> 01:28:15,250
Film her right now!

1577
01:28:29,167 --> 01:28:30,833
Little sweetie.

1578
01:28:37,333 --> 01:28:39,000
Want to talk to mummy?

1579
01:28:42,250 --> 01:28:44,917
Come on, say something!

1580
01:28:45,167 --> 01:28:48,083
Your mum wants to see you're all right.

1581
01:28:48,500 --> 01:28:50,417
I don't want to.

1582
01:28:55,083 --> 01:28:56,833
Why did you do it?

1583
01:28:57,083 --> 01:28:58,250
Give her a break.

1584
01:28:58,333 --> 01:28:59,833
You want to die?

1585
01:29:00,250 --> 01:29:04,833
Don't you know you go to hell
for killing yourself?

1586
01:29:05,333 --> 01:29:06,833
Don't tell her off.

1587
01:29:07,583 --> 01:29:09,750
Yes, she's completely stupid.

1588
01:29:09,833 --> 01:29:11,833
She should have told her off before.

1589
01:29:12,000 --> 01:29:14,583
No, don't tell her off at all.

1590
01:29:31,333 --> 01:29:32,833
Yes, Mr Donnadieu?

1591
01:29:34,833 --> 01:29:36,000
Getting better.

1592
01:29:36,167 --> 01:29:38,083
They're taking her home.

1593
01:29:38,833 --> 01:29:41,000
Most likely, she's already there.

1594
01:29:41,667 --> 01:29:43,333
Yes, I understand but...

1595
01:29:43,833 --> 01:29:45,083
I have to go.

1596
01:29:49,667 --> 01:29:51,250
I don't know what to say.

1597
01:29:51,750 --> 01:29:53,500
It's better if I go.

1598
01:30:01,250 --> 01:30:02,333
All right.

1599
01:30:03,583 --> 01:30:07,583
I'll send you the birth certificate,
ID and details on WhatsApp.

1600
01:30:09,583 --> 01:30:11,917
Yes, I can. They have the signature.

1601
01:30:17,833 --> 01:30:20,333
No, I'd hate you to pay that much.

1602
01:30:25,833 --> 01:30:28,167
My room's fine for all three of us.

1603
01:30:31,000 --> 01:30:32,250
Just perfect.

1604
01:30:34,833 --> 01:30:35,833
Thank you.

1605
01:30:37,833 --> 01:30:38,833
Well?

1606
01:30:40,000 --> 01:30:41,583
That was Mr Donnadieu.

1607
01:30:42,333 --> 01:30:45,000
He says it's very hard
to leave the mountains.

1608
01:30:46,333 --> 01:30:49,167
Louen's crying,
so he came up with another solution.

1609
01:30:49,583 --> 01:30:53,417
He'll fly Maria here for a few days
and I'll stay with you.

1610
01:30:54,583 --> 01:30:57,000
That's not a bad idea.

1611
01:30:57,167 --> 01:30:59,250
Yes, and he's paying for it all.

1612
01:31:01,000 --> 01:31:02,833
Yes, it's better that way.

1613
01:31:03,833 --> 01:31:05,333
They want to see Bordeaux.

1614
01:31:05,583 --> 01:31:08,083
All this time
I've been promising them...

1615
01:31:08,250 --> 01:31:11,333
I can't wait to meet them,
your daughter especially.

1616
01:31:11,750 --> 01:31:13,083
She's a love.

1617
01:31:14,000 --> 01:31:15,833
She's even learned some French.

1618
01:31:16,083 --> 01:31:17,583
Little sweetie!
