1
00:01:52,430 --> 00:01:55,900
For those who try...

2
00:01:55,990 --> 00:02:02,260
...there is a staircase that goes up
from the abysses to the heights,

3
00:02:02,340 --> 00:02:08,790
from the sewers to the stars.
The ladder of courage.

4
00:02:12,470 --> 00:02:15,460
In the suburbs of Paris...

5
00:02:15,850 --> 00:02:19,240
under a street known as
"The Hole in the Sock"

6
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:09,740
"Look, Boy!"

7
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,980
"It is Monsieur Gobin,
the street cleaner."

8
00:04:06,300 --> 00:04:09,780
"That should be me, Rat...
street cleaner!

9
00:04:09,870 --> 00:04:13,040
Up there, in the sunlight...
...with the people."

10
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,420
"After all, don't forget
that I'm a phenomenal guy!"

11
00:05:13,690 --> 00:05:16,210
"Stop whining about
what we have stolen...

12
00:05:16,300 --> 00:05:18,890
take this and bring me one
bottle of absinthe!"

13
00:07:38,950 --> 00:07:43,080
"He has come to a bad place
proclaim his catechism!"

14
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,830
"I bring good news, daughter.

15
00:07:52,100 --> 00:07:55,030
After so many years,
your aunt and uncle

16
00:07:55,350 --> 00:07:57,800
They have come from Australia..."

17
00:08:04,490 --> 00:08:09,590
"He is rich. They are coming to take you
and your sister back with them."

18
00:08:39,220 --> 00:08:42,250
"Dear Father Chevillon,
It has given me new hope.

19
00:08:42,620 --> 00:08:45,950
We'll be ready tomorrow."

20
00:09:20,500 --> 00:09:22,830
"Dear Colonel Brissac,

21
00:09:22,910 --> 00:09:27,280
I am surprised to find my
nieces living in this suburb!"

22
00:11:02,730 --> 00:11:06,980
"You smell so good, aunt... of sandalwood
...and clean sheets..."

23
00:11:10,180 --> 00:11:12,180
"...The smell of home!"

24
00:11:28,470 --> 00:11:32,890
"Tell me the truth... Have you
kept clean and decent?"

25
00:11:36,580 --> 00:11:38,210
"Of course, dear uncle!

26
00:11:38,700 --> 00:11:42,240
And you don't know how difficult it has been...
in a place like this!"

27
00:11:47,470 --> 00:11:50,470
"I want you to tell me
the truth, Diane!"

28
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:11,430
"If you and Nana haven't met
behaved like decent girls...

29
00:12:11,900 --> 00:12:14,370
"I don't want them in my house!"

30
00:14:22,290 --> 00:14:25,540
"Now we can talk
more calmly."

31
00:14:33,090 --> 00:14:37,340
"Are you going to promise not to come back?"
abuse this girl ever again?"

32
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:53,730
"If I catch you again, I'll take you out
the intestines and fry them in oil!"

33
00:15:21,390 --> 00:15:24,350
"You saved his life, Chico."

34
00:15:27,750 --> 00:15:29,830
"It wasn't worth it, Papa Boul.

35
00:15:30,230 --> 00:15:33,030
Such a creature would be
"better dead."

36
00:16:11,810 --> 00:16:16,750
"Don't stand there like a fish
dead, spoiling the party!

37
00:16:20,510 --> 00:16:22,550
"Give me that onion!"

38
00:18:08,500 --> 00:18:13,420
"Your problem is that you don't
you want to fight You're scared!"

39
00:18:17,650 --> 00:18:19,980
"Look at me!
I'm not afraid of anything!

40
00:18:20,330 --> 00:18:23,880
That's why I'm a phenomenal guy!"

41
00:18:45,170 --> 00:18:50,880
"You believe in God, in a Bon Dieu
who cares about us..."

42
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,830
"Tell me then!
Did He create this girl..."

43
00:19:01,850 --> 00:19:05,810
...so that they can whip her and
strangle in the sewers?

44
00:19:17,670 --> 00:19:20,340
"Did Bon Dieu create me?

45
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:37,950
"And to that?"

46
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,360
"Well then...anyone
can make mistakes."

47
00:20:02,460 --> 00:20:08,290
"Religion, bah! I already went through that.
"I put God to the test twice."

48
00:20:13,740 --> 00:20:16,870
"First I chose the church
most luxurious in Paris...

49
00:20:17,210 --> 00:20:20,020
...I spent five francs
in candles..."

50
00:20:23,940 --> 00:20:28,110
"...I prayed to God that
will take me out of the sewers

51
00:20:28,490 --> 00:20:32,380
and promoted me to cleaner
of streets. And he did it?"

52
00:20:42,070 --> 00:20:46,110
"Then I gave him another chance...
five more francs..."

53
00:21:01,510 --> 00:21:04,630
"I prayed to him to give me a
"good blonde-haired wife."

54
00:21:18,050 --> 00:21:24,280
"Bah! And everything he gives me
It's a creature like this!"

55
00:21:33,460 --> 00:21:37,120
"And I spent ten
Franks for nothing."

56
00:21:43,410 --> 00:21:48,410
"That's why I'm an atheist...
God owes me ten francs!"

57
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:03,340
"I don't think you're so
bad as you think, my son."

58
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:25,130
"Here you have a job
as a street cleaner.

59
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:29,080
It's yours, Boy; now the debt
It's almost paid."

60
00:22:45,230 --> 00:22:49,110
"And now I'm going to ask you
keep these..."

61
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,470
"Religious medals?"

62
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,890
"Do not despise them, Cleaner
of Urban Streets...

63
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,570
...someday they might be useful to you.
Who knows?"

64
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,700
"Let's drink to celebrate!"

65
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,030
"Welcome, Comrade!"

66
00:24:21,900 --> 00:24:23,900
"I appreciate it, Comrade."

67
00:25:37,540 --> 00:25:40,390
"And with MY knife!
What atrocity!"

68
00:26:16,630 --> 00:26:20,380
"Why did you want
take your life?"

69
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:33,480
"Because I can't go on
living like this... without hope."

70
00:26:36,630 --> 00:26:41,710
"Look, if you don't like what
"You're, you're not that bad."

71
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,490
"You're even giving me
a bit of a shame!"

72
00:27:18,820 --> 00:27:24,130
"I say that again
what I don't want to say!

73
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:03,720
"That's my sister!

74
00:28:04,130 --> 00:28:06,880
And he's no better than me!
Take it too!

75
00:28:42,270 --> 00:28:44,210
"She is my wife!"

76
00:29:04,780 --> 00:29:07,910
They will go to your address to check it.

77
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,910
If you are lying,
"he's going to be in quite a bit of trouble."

78
00:29:25,730 --> 00:29:30,060
"Why did that occur to me?
It will be my ruin!"

79
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:51,330
"They will come to my house and give themselves
Realize that I don't have a wife.

80
00:29:51,340 --> 00:29:55,510
And I will lose my job
street cleaner!"

81
00:30:20,780 --> 00:30:23,980
"What if I stayed at your house
until the police come?"

82
00:30:23,980 --> 00:30:27,190
And then, I'm leaving."

83
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:47,460
"You're so smart!"

84
00:30:56,780 --> 00:30:59,270
And you... you have a big heart!"

85
00:31:32,430 --> 00:31:34,640
"Tear off Heloisa!"

86
00:31:44,610 --> 00:31:46,940
"Start Heloisa!"

87
00:31:56,810 --> 00:31:57,980
"Optimistic!"

88
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:24,890
"Allow me the honor
to introduce you to...

89
00:32:25,370 --> 00:32:27,460
...Madame Chico,
my good wife!"

"Get on before Eloisa
change your mind!"

91
00:33:17,170 --> 00:33:20,300
"Remember: you should not take
all this very seriously.

92
00:33:20,650 --> 00:33:23,820
Aren't you going to take advantage of me?"

93
00:33:33,290 --> 00:33:36,420
"Take us down the boulevards...
then home.

94
00:33:36,620 --> 00:33:40,370
Tonight I am
the Bank of France!"

95
00:36:26,580 --> 00:36:29,700
"Not bad, huh?
I work in the sewers...

96
00:36:30,090 --> 00:36:34,720
But I live close to the stars!"

97
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:46,140
"It's wonderful!"

98
00:37:13,650 --> 00:37:15,480
"It's heaven!"

99
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:37,170
"You shouldn't be afraid.
"I'm never afraid."

100
00:38:45,940 --> 00:38:48,110
"Never look down."

101
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:52,740
"Always look up!"

102
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:59,900
"I always look up...
That's why I'm a phenomenal guy!"

103
00:39:19,250 --> 00:39:22,380
"The things I can have
They are wonderful.

104
00:39:22,720 --> 00:39:25,260
Sometimes I can stretch my
hand and touch a star!"

105
00:48:04,240 --> 00:48:07,370
"Women are all equal...

106
00:48:07,710 --> 00:48:11,090
...they all try to win over someone
man for the stomach..."

107
00:48:18,050 --> 00:48:20,140
"...but it won't work with me.

108
00:48:20,510 --> 00:48:23,620
after it comes
"The police, you're leaving."

109
00:48:56,260 --> 00:48:59,390
"Now that you have ascended
from the sewers, Comrade,

110
00:48:59,780 --> 00:49:03,510
I can recognize you
as a neighbor..."

111
00:49:06,330 --> 00:49:10,700
"Allow me to escort you
to the hose."

112
00:49:26,420 --> 00:49:30,420
"You haven't said goodbye to
your wife with a kiss."

113
00:50:01,150 --> 00:50:05,490
"Don't take it seriously!
Don't think you can stay!"

114
00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:21,060
"I'm a police detective."

115
00:54:27,820 --> 00:54:30,370
"Is she your wife?"

116
00:55:54,940 --> 00:56:00,320
"If you want you can stay,
"You don't get in my way."

117
00:56:34,720 --> 00:56:37,850
"Boy, I believe in Bon Dieu...

118
00:56:38,180 --> 00:56:41,060
...I believe He has placed you
on my way."

119
00:56:46,630 --> 00:56:49,550
"Don't worry about thinking
in those things. Leave that to me."

120
01:00:10,070 --> 01:00:12,400
"It looks like a wedding dress."

121
01:01:01,550 --> 01:01:04,630
"Don't you want
Marry me?"

122
01:01:09,310 --> 01:01:13,060
"But you haven't told me
"You never loved me."

123
01:01:26,890 --> 01:01:30,550
"Couldn't you say it...
even once?"

124
01:02:02,520 --> 01:02:05,590
"I just can't say it.
"I look like a fool."

125
01:02:34,310 --> 01:02:36,480
"I'll say it this way..."

126
01:02:48,460 --> 01:02:50,840
"Heaven!"

127
01:02:55,270 --> 01:02:57,230
"Say it again!"

128
01:03:09,200 --> 01:03:11,200
"Say it again!"

129
01:03:39,430 --> 01:03:43,590
"Are we going to get married?"
in a church?"

130
01:03:46,340 --> 01:03:48,580
"No... never that!"

131
01:03:55,430 --> 01:03:58,180
"I am an atheist...
"I walk alone through life!"

132
01:04:22,170 --> 01:04:25,300
"No religious medal
It's going to scare ME!

133
01:04:25,610 --> 01:04:27,860
"It's just a coincidence."

134
01:04:38,300 --> 01:04:42,190
"Is the soup ready yet?"
for my wife?"

135
01:05:07,590 --> 01:05:09,700
"I'm not afraid."

136
01:05:13,280 --> 01:05:15,530

01:20:58,280 --> 01:21:02,370
"I was hiding waiting
for your man to leave.

171
01:21:02,760 --> 01:21:04,760
It seems that the war
took it!"

172
01:22:52,640 --> 01:22:56,260
"I'm brave, Boy!
"I'm very brave!"

173
01:23:02,720 --> 01:23:05,840
The invading armies...
hordes of gray uniforms

174
01:23:05,870 --> 01:23:08,900
spreading across the middle
Europe... a wave of death

175
01:23:08,900 --> 01:23:11,690
that rushes, implacable,
about Paris.

176
01:23:21,300 --> 01:23:23,860
reconnaissance troops
of the enemy...

177
01:23:23,920 --> 01:23:27,920
...they are at the forefront of
armies advancing behind.

178
01:24:20,520 --> 01:24:23,100
They are only 50 kilometers away...
Coming like an avalanche!

179
01:24:23,410 --> 01:24:26,040
Paris is doomed!

180
01:26:10,930 --> 01:26:13,570
"Lord, the enemy has
crossed the river Marne...

181
01:26:13,650 --> 01:26:15,610
Our line is in danger!

182
01:26:15,730 --> 01:26:19,270
General Joffre needs every
man who can send him!"

183
01:26:30,590 --> 01:26:33,720
"Request all taxis,
private cars, buses...

184
01:26:34,170 --> 01:26:36,440
Everything that has wheels
and an engine!"

185
01:26:41,030 --> 01:26:45,000
"Order the troops to leave
of the garrison...

186
01:26:45,160 --> 01:26:48,750
May there not be a single soldier left
in Paris without going to the front!"

187
01:27:15,340 --> 01:27:21,330
"Stand aside, grandfather! Eloisa is
too old to go to war!"

188
01:28:23,770 --> 01:28:28,800
"Pigs! For two cents
I would make them go on foot to war!"

189
01:29:02,450 --> 01:29:05,450
"It's the cannon shots! Every
day they are heard closer.

190
01:29:05,770 --> 01:29:09,870
I pray that my husband
and Chico are unharmed!"

191
01:29:52,160 --> 01:29:55,260
"They are hot on our heels!
The entire French army... by taxi!"

192
01:31:52,430 --> 01:31:54,830
"Run away, you idiots!
There is no army in the world

193
01:31:55,190 --> 01:31:57,490
What can I do with the drivers?
of Paris taxis!"

194
01:32:21,960 --> 01:32:24,960
"My poor Heloisa!
"He gave his life for France!"

195
01:32:45,120 --> 01:32:48,840
"Colonel Brissac, I hope
"I wouldn't come here."

196
01:32:55,980 --> 01:32:59,070
"Listen to me, Diane.
The world is upside down...

197
01:32:59,280 --> 01:33:04,020
...the ideals, beliefs, traditions.
Everything is going to hell!

198
01:33:30,940 --> 01:33:32,980
"What good are they now
the old rules?"

199
01:33:33,100 --> 01:33:35,140
"Every day could be the last."

200
01:33:35,180 --> 01:33:36,650
Let me take care of you."

201
01:33:44,930 --> 01:33:46,980
"Chico is fighting on the front...

202
01:33:47,030 --> 01:33:49,870
...I fight here in the factory
of ammunition..."

203
01:33:58,440 --> 01:34:02,830
"...we fight shoulder to shoulder...
That's all that matters."

204
01:35:08,840 --> 01:35:13,320
"As long as this war lasts,
I will become General!"

205
01:37:34,640 --> 01:37:37,730
"Shut up!
He's talking to his wife...

206
01:37:37,920 --> 01:37:40,990
...like every morning at eleven."

207
01:38:19,140 --> 01:38:21,060
Heaven!

208
01:39:00,570 --> 01:39:04,490
Day after day...
year after year...

209
01:40:15,070 --> 01:40:19,200
"We will destroy them... we will fight
his fire with more fire!

210
01:40:19,520 --> 01:40:22,190
Gobin and I know how to drive
hoses well."

211
01:45:30,300 --> 01:45:33,390
Father Chevillon... I asked him
lent the watch to the General...

212
01:45:33,600 --> 01:45:36,220
...please give it back."

213
01:46:32,370 --> 01:46:35,500
"Give this to Madame Chico
with all my love.

214
01:46:35,550 --> 01:46:39,080
Tell him I died
Looking up!"

215
01:46:58,240 --> 01:47:00,570
"a guy... phenomenal..."

216
01:47:36,280 --> 01:47:40,380
"Forgive my intrusion.
I have to talk to you..."

217
01:47:50,860 --> 01:47:53,410
"Diane, I wish I could stop it

218
01:47:53,800 --> 01:47:55,720
But I bring very bad news."

219
01:48:14,480 --> 01:48:18,420
CHICO ROBAS - CORPORATE - DEAD

220
01:48:30,540 --> 01:48:33,940
"It's not true... Boy
is alive! I know!"

221
01:48:38,040 --> 01:48:42,170
"He promised to be with me
every morning at eleven...

222
01:48:42,250 --> 01:48:44,930
...and he has never stopped doing it."

223
01:49:24,200 --> 01:49:26,240
"Unfortunately, it's true...

224
01:49:26,590 --> 01:49:28,720
...it is the Government that says it."

225
01:49:59,780 --> 01:50:03,900
"Father Chevillon, will you bring me
"You news from Chico?"

226
01:50:14,410 --> 01:50:17,790
"He sends you all his love... and
He asked to tell you that he died...

227
01:50:17,820 --> 01:50:21,030
...looking up."

228
01:51:11,470 --> 01:51:16,220
"So he didn't come every day...
He never came..."

229
01:51:24,840 --> 01:51:28,130
"I imagined it all...
It all seems so absurd now."

230
01:51:38,030 --> 01:51:41,920
"They have signed the armistice!
The war is over!"

231
01:53:20,310 --> 01:53:24,430
"We should not question the
work of the Lord, my daughter."

232
01:53:58,930 --> 01:54:02,010
"For four years I have
called this 'Heaven'!

233
01:54:02,150 --> 01:54:03,920
"I have prayed...
I had faith in God..."

234
01:54:08,410 --> 01:54:12,460
"I had faith that He
I would give Chico back..."

235
01:54:15,770 --> 01:54:17,840
"But Chico is dead!"

236
01:55:10,340 --> 01:55:14,500
"Diane, from now on
"I'll take care of you."

237
01:55:17,790 --> 01:55:21,620
"I have stayed the same as
at the beginning again."

238
01:56:24,650 --> 01:56:29,080
"Diane, they fell on me
all possible grenades!

239
01:56:29,100 --> 01:56:33,360
They thought I was dead,
But I will never die!"

240
01:56:54,610 --> 01:56:59,200
Diane, all my great ideas
They were from Bon Dieu after all.

241
01:56:59,210 --> 01:57:01,800
He is inside me..."

242
01:57:05,540 --> 01:57:08,420
"...now that I've gone blind,
I can see it now."

243
01:57:26,930 --> 01:57:29,930
"I still have my eyes full of you."

244
01:57:38,060 --> 01:57:40,390
"I will be your eyes."

245
01:57:46,640 --> 01:57:49,080
"For a while, maybe.

246
01:57:49,150 --> 01:57:51,660
But nothing will leave you blind
to Chico for a long time!"

247
01:57:56,820 --> 01:58:00,830
"Remember that I am
"A phenomenal guy!"
