- Still smoking? - No.

I'm getting old.

- Here.

- Do you need your bag?

- Have you bought yourself a car?

- No. It's borrowed. - Oh.

What's that? - Nothing.

It's too cold.

- Yes.

What's wrong? - I have a terrible wrist pain.

- You are getting old, too.

- See if there is enough space. - There is, go ahead.

Stop, stop!

What are you doing?

The girls know I'm here? - No.

- Haven't you told them?

- I was afraid you'd let us down, like the last time.

Change to the fourth.

- Now that I'm here, tell them.

I'd like to see them. - We will see them.

- Where?

- We're going to look for Lucie, then we go home.

- You haven't booked my hotel? - No.

- But you were supposed to.

- I doubted you will show up.

- What do you mean by "you doubted"?

- I had my doubts.

- Listen, about the last time

something came up just the day before... - Drop it, it's ok.

Don't find yourself excuses, otherwise we'll spend all night on that.

- Because I had to cancel my trip once?

- No.

For many reasons.

The girls will be glad

to see you at home.

- I don't want to bother you.

- You're not bothering us at all.

Anyhow,

you will have to pass by to get your luggage, once it's delivered.

At least come change your clothes so you don't catch a cold.

- I had to ride around, she was about to give you a fine.

So?

- She's gone.

- She knew you were coming to pick her up?

- Let's go.

- Since you've been a bit late,

maybe she had left on her own.

- It's not the first time.

Yesterday she came back at 11 p.m.

- At her age, they all do the same. It's ok.

- No. It's not ok.

- What's wrong with her?

- It's been two months since she keeps on pissing me off for nothing.

Maybe you can talk to her?

Try to understand what's wrong with her.

- If she still remembers me

after all this time.

- She cares about you a lot. - Still?

- No, what are you doing there? It's on the right!

- Oh. I wasn't paying attention.

- One would say you forgot everything.

- I had something else on my mind.

Marie-Anne! - What?

- Don't leave this in the car, it's not safe.

- Oh! I'm not going to do it all by myself.

- You told me to leave it, so I did.

- You can't do it. Do you want me to put it the other way around?

Don't make me shout.

Ouch! But you're hurting me!

- Is Lucie back?

- No.

Wait. Wait!

- Go ahead, pull!

Go ahead, go ahead. Like this. We did it.

- Come on, pull.

- Yes, yes, yes!

- Oh, no!

Oh no, Fouad! You ruined everything I was doing!

- Pull harder, even harder. - I'm doing my best, my hand hurts.

- No, not like this.

You should put one side first,

then the other.

I'm going to show you. So this...

this goes...

like this.

There you go.

It's all dry.

It needs some oil. Do you know where to find it?

Before, you used to keep it in one of the closets in the shed.

- Ahmad! - Yes.

Oh, Juna. How are you?

You're all grown up, sweetie.

Hello, mister.

Your friend doesn't like me. What's his name?

- His name is Fouad.

- Hi, Fouad.

How are you?

Get inside, Ahmad.

You too, Fouad.

Come get your things from the room. Hurry up!

- It was not in the shed.

- Then you must have changed its place while I was away.

- There is some in my father's car.

- Where's the old shelf that was here? The old wooden one?

- We took it out. - Really?

But inside there were some of my books.

- I put all your stuff in the shed.

Fouad,

get your things and go upstairs, please.

- I don't like it upstairs.

- What? - I don't like it upstairs.

- Be kind and do as you're told.

Watch out the fresh paint.

- Didn't you like better the other color?

- It's not done yet, I had to leave it like this because of my wrist.

- You should have waited for me. I'll do it while I'm here.

This will keep me busy.

- I thought you wanted to sleep in a hotel.

- Let me do it.

- Ouch! That hurts. - Sorry.

- It's ok, thanks. - Is it ok?

Here, the keys. - Thanks.

I've left some clothes for you upstairs.

Go change, you'll catch a cold.

What are you doing here?

Come.

You will sleep upstairs, and Lucie downstairs.

- Lucie? Call me back, please.

I have a surprise for you.

It's only during Ahmad's stay, then you can go back.

Hurry up, please.

- I hate this.

- The car in front of the house, is it your father's?

- Yes.

- Do you live here? - Yes.

- With your father, right? - Yes.

- Since when?

- September.

- There's no need to make your bed here. Go back to your bedroom.

- I hate this.

You tell me "go upstairs", then "go downstairs"...

- What? - Upstairs, then downstairs...

- I'm sorry.

- Why are you coming back? - He told me so.

Ask him, if you don't believe me.

With that old big beard of his.

- There aren't enough beds for three, downstairs.

- You're living with someone?

- Yes.

- You haven't told me.

- Really? I wrote you about it in my email.

- Which email?

- I don't know, one of those I've sent to you.

- I haven't received any.

- Then why have you told me

you prefer to sleep in a hotel? - I didn't want to bother you.

- Anyway, I wrote you about it.

- I haven't received a word.

- Haven't you thought about my reasons for wanting

to have the divorce made official?

- Is he aware that I'm here?

- Yes.

- I'm leaving, then.

- He won't show up while you're here.

And if he wants to come, he'll let me know, that's for sure.

- When did you send that email?

- I don't recall.

- It still has to be in your mailbox.

- I guess so.

Do you want me to show it to you?

- I've asked you to book a hotel.

- The last time, I did. And you didn't show up.

So I had to cancel. - Was it a big deal to cancel it?

At what time do I have to be in the courthouse, tomorrow?

- I thought you were staying

to talk to Lucie.

- When does she return?

- I have no idea.

- I will meet her someplace tomorrow.

- I was hoping at least this time you'd keep your promise.

- I didn't promise anything. - Too bad for me, then.

Sorry.

Fouad, why don't you mind your steps?

Why have I bothered for five hours to clean the house?

For you turn the place into a mess in five minutes?

Fouad, look at me when I'm talking to you!

Look at me when I'm talking to you! - We were looking for this.

- I don't care what you were looking for. Come back here, you!

Come...

You're coming back here!

Fouad, come back here!

- I want to go home.

Let me go!

- Fouad, come here.

- Let me go! - Calm down.

- I want to go home. - You are getting on my nerves.

Stop it! Stop it!

- Let me go! Let me go!

- Look what you've done!

Stop it!

Keep going. Fouad, stop it.

- Let me go! I want to go home. Let me go.

- Stop it, would you? Excuse me. - No.

I don't need your excuses. Let me go. Let me go!

- Please. - No. You're not my mother.

- You, get out of here!

That's enough!

That's enough, Fouad!

- Let me go. - Behave, right now!

That's impossible!

- Open the door!

I want to go home!

- Go, you'll be late. - No, I can do it.

- I will clean that up. - No, I can do it.

- No, not with your wrist...

- Stop it, I can do it. - Go.

- I thought you wanted to go.

- I'll stay to meet Lucie. Then we'll see.

Go.

- Léa, can you please look for my shoes in the yard?

- Open this door!

- Hurry up.

- Open!

It's because of the paint!

Let me out!

- Will you be watching them? - Don't worry.

- Open!

- Thanks.

- Open!

I'm going to break the door! And I will leave.

Open! Open!

Open! - Fouad!

Fouad, stop it.

Step behind, I'll open the door.

What's wrong?

Huh?

Where are you going?

Wait. Stop it. - Let me go!

- I do.

- Let me go. - I do, I let you go.

But first tell me where do you want to go.

Calm down, Fouad.

What are you doing? Where do you want to go?

- I want to leave. - Whereto?

- Home!

- Where's that, your home?

- In Paris. That's too far, he can't go.

- Shut up! Get out!

- Oh! No such words in this house! Understood?

Get out, we're having a talk.

What's wrong, Fouad? Hm?

What is that upsets you? - I want to leave.

- Do you want me to make a call at your place?

- There is nobody home.

- What's bothering you, here?

Is it because she scolded you?

But you weren't behaving, just now.

You've spilled the paint, you've done bad things.

It wasn't you who spilled the paint?

- It's not because of the paint.

- Because of what, then?

Because of me being here?

Do you want me to leave?

- Hello, madam.

- Hello.

How's it going?

- Fine.

- The flight had some delay.

- He's here? - Yes.

Tiens. Here.

- Where is it parked? - Right there.

- Where? - There.

You shouldn't leave those in the car, it's not safe.

Have you been to the hospital? - Yes.

- How was she? - As usual.

Didn't you bring Fouad? - Why?

- He called me to pick him up.

He didn't want to remain there.

- He got on my nerves. They both did.

- I'll pick him up in the evening and he'll come home with me.

- No need to make a big deal out of it. - It's the first time he calls me.

- It was also the first time I scolded him like this.

- Anyhow, I promised to pick him up.

- Ok, I've had enough. We'll make up for it

tonight.

If you're coming tonight, let me know in advance.

How are you?

- Fine.

So...

Just a second.

- Look how nice is this corn!

It's very nice, this corn!

- Fouad! Fouad, stop it!

Hold it.

Give this to him. Be careful.

- Take it.

- I don't want any. - Oh! You've cut your finger!

- No, I haven't. - Fouad, there's blood everywhere.

Ahmad! He cut his finger.

- Is it better now?

- Lucie!

- Ahmad?

- How did you know it was me?

- I knew you were coming today. - My little Lucie.

What about you, Lucie? Do you want some? - No, thanks.

- No? Come on, take some more.

You will not have real gourmet sabzi again too soon.

Unless you marry two handsome Iranians.

And you, Fouad, an Iranian woman.

Hm? Would you like that?

Some more? - No, it's ok.

- How are they like, the Iranian women?

- The Iranian women?

They look just like me, actually. Not really, well...

Like this.

Now you've got an idea? - They do like this all the time?

With or without the beard?

- No.

- Do you want to go with Ahmad in Iran? - Euh... What's it like?

- Do you always come back late?

- Only for sleeping. - Oh, really?

- I don't have any other place to spend my night in.

- Why don't you want to sleep here?

- Just like you.

You prefer to spend the night at your friend rather than stay here.

- But this is not my home.

- And your friend's place... is that your home?

- I don't feel comfortable here.

- Me neither.

- It's not the same thing.

It's difficult for me to live right next to

the one who is going to marry my ex.

It's normal.

- For you, she's just your ex? - Well, yes.

- That's close to nothing. - What?

- You have lived here with her for years ...and now she's just your ex.

- Everything has changed since.

We broke up.

Can you help me with this?

You're big enough to understand that.

- I'm big enough not to be preached at.

- I'm not here to preach at you.

Your mother asked me to talk to you to figure out what's in your mind.

For some reason she thinks you'd rather share your thoughts with me.

- She knows what's bothering me.

I don't want

to see that idiot around every time I get home.

- Lucie!

Come here,

would you?

He's not a nice guy?

- I have no idea, I don't know him.

- Why do you say he's an idiot? What has he done?

- He hasn't done anything.

Actually, he has nothing to do here either.

- Your mother wants to live with him.

And she has the right to live with whomever she wants.

- With whomever?

Even with a guy who has a child and whose wife is in coma?

- Fouad's mother?

And what if your mother picked someone else,

that wouldn't bother you? - That would be the same thing.

- So you don't really have a problem with this guy.

- Since I was born, my mother has changed her husband three times.

Each time it's the same thing.

They come, stay for a few years and then clear out.

Can you talk to her?

- And tell her what? - Make her change her mind.

- Oh, look at her head!

It looks like a broccoli with stems!

- You're not sleeping yet?

Fouad, go sleep upstairs.

- One more minute, please!

- Two minutes.

Good evening. - Good evening.

- Goodnight.

- Goodnight.

- Lucie! Can you sleep downstairs, tonight?

Fouad will sleep upstairs with Ahmad.

- I've saved some dinner for you, if...

if you haven't eaten yet.

- Oh, thanks!

- Should I warm it up?

- No, thank you.

Where did you find all these herbs?

- I've been shopping with the kids.

- You are still

a good chef.

- Well, at least that.

At what time do we have to be there tomorrow?

- At nine.

- Gourmet sabzi is not meant to be eaten

with a fork.

There.

- Have you talked to her? - Yes.

- And?

- Do you still have doubts?

She disagrees with you getting remarried.

She fears you'll live with him for a while

and then he'll leave you.

- You can tell her that he won't leave me.

- But I think I'm not the right person to convince her

to be happy about your marriage.

- I don't ask her to be happy about it.

I only want to understand what bugs her, what is that she looks for.

- Preventing you from getting married.

This made me laugh, too.

Try to convince her, before taking your decision.

- My decision is taken.

- Fouad? - Yes?

- If you're not ok up there, we can switch.

- No, it's ok.

I need to pee.

- Well, go then. Go.

Go.

- It's fine.

- Did you also talk to her doctor?

- No, I've only seen the nurse.

- What did she say? - About what?

- About the scratches

she had made on her abdomen.

- I'd say this happened after the first two visits.

- Maybe it has nothing to do with the visits.

Maybe it's an involuntary gesture.

- An involuntary gesture would suit you well, wouldn't it?

Sorry, I'm sorry.

- Do you realize what you're saying? It's so easy for you say whatever crosses

your mind and then apologize.

What are you doing there?

- It's too dark, I can't go upstairs.

- Why do you want to go upstairs?

- I made him sleep upstairs with Ahmad. So that the girls sleep together.

- Maybe he doesn't want to sleep next to a stranger.

Get dressed, we're going.

- Ok, but I'm sleepy. I want to sleep.

- You've asked me to pick you up. - No, I want to stay.

- Come sleep in my bed.

Come.

Ahmad, drop it, we'll be late.

- The sink is clogged.

- Ok, but that can wait. We have to be there at nine.

Kids, hurry up.

- Yuck!

- Oh!

Oh! Ahmad!

- How are you? - Fine.

- How are you, kids?

- Morning.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

- Samir.

- My hands are dirty, sorry.

- Is it still clogged?

- No, it's done, it's unclogged.

I only have to twist it back in.

- Can you pass me the tea, please?

- Get ready, we can drop you at school on the way.

- There's no need.

- Ahmad, we're running out of time.

- I'm done.

- Kids, finish that up.

Go prepare yourselves.

- It leaks. - It always did.

- I told you, it's the pipe gasket. It needs to be replaced.

Leave it, I'll take care of it.

It's ok. Go, I'll finish it.

- Ok.

- Have you had something to eat? - No, not yet.

- Can I see you when you're done? - Don't you have classes?

- Ahmad! - Yes, I'm coming.

- I can skip them.

- You'll be out at what time? - At 1.

- Are you looking for something? - No.

- Wait.

- War!

- Wasn't that Lucie's school? - Yes.

- Never! Go, Blanche! Kill them!

Mom, you... - Go.

- Bye, kids! - Bye, Ahmad!

Bye, mom! See you tonight. - Bye, sweetie.

- Bye, mom.

- Wait, pay attention.

- Fouad, are you coming?

- Ok, see you!

- How have you two met?

- At the pharmacy. He used to pass by looking for

meds for his wife.

- What was wrong with her?

- She was being depressed.

What?

- What's what? - What do you mean by that?

- Where I come from, we call that smiling.

- Well, here, that is called mocking. What are you mocking, in fact?

- Do you miss our arguments, honey? - Him, looking for meds at the pharmacy?

No, wait, tell me. Do you find her depression funny?

- If you keep annoying me, I get off here and go back to Tehran immediately.

You won't get any divorce.

You will be angry... - You haven't changed.

- What am I supposed to do now, get off? - Stop talking rubbish. We're late.

- So? - Stop it.

Now really, what do you think about him?

- Tell me first if this is something serious for you; then I'll tell you.

- If it wasn't serious, I wouldn't be pregnant.

- Madam!

- Is it a joke? - No.

- This request is of personal concern only

since it states that you have no kids from this marriage.

On the question of names, it is stated that Mrs. Brisson gives up using

her husband's name in favor of her maiden name.

Concerning the housing, it is agreed that Mrs. Brisson keeps her house

at Sevran, 20, rue de Paris.

The divorce will come into effect starting with October 19th, which is

the date of this hearing.

- I'm sorry.

- You would be so kind to switch it off. - I apologize.

- You have recovered your movable goods and your personal objects,

the furniture has been divided in-kind,

the taxes have already been settled by each of you,

the court fees are equally shared.

This agreement clearly enunciates all the effects of the divorce.

It only remains to verify your allegiance.

Is your decision to divorce irrevocable, madam?

- Yes.

- And you, sir? Your decision is irrevocable as well?

- Yes.

- I hereby pronounce your divorce

in accordance with the article 230 of the Civil Law,

I ratify the agreement formerly enclosed to your request,

it will be appended to the decision. I will give you the transcript...

- You really have to switch it off.

- I'm sorry.

- Marie, it's me.

Listen, they returned the suitcase. It's broken.

I don't know if something is missing inside or not...

if I should take it or not.

So, call me.

- Is it ok?

- What if something is missing? - He has an insurance?

- That I don't know.

- What shall we do, then? It's either you take it

or I take it back to the airport and he'll come to look for it?

Sign here, please.

Right here.

Are you ok? - I'm fine, why?

- Because of your eyes.

- I'm allergic to paint. - Get another job, then.

- Lucie!

How's it going? Wait.

Excuse me, the Tajrish bus is here?

How are you? - What are you doing here?

- You're never well-informed, are you?

- When did you arrive? - Yesterday.

- Without notice, of course.

- Do you remember her?

- She's all grown up!

How are you? - I'm fine.

- Have you had lunch? - We wouldn't be here,

if we had.

- What a pretty young lady! Do you remember,

when you were little, he used to bring you here on his bike.

- She's not Léa, she's Lucie.

- I apologize, miss.

- You mixed them up back then too.

- Go sit down. - What about Valeria?

- We'll get to her.

Your friend is over there. - Who?

Ahmad? Ahmad!

- Lucie!

Hi, Valeria! How are you?

- Hi, I'm ok. You? - You're fine?

- I've missed you.

- Do you still remember Lucie?

- Oh, little Lucie!

- Not that little anymore.

- She's grown so beautiful!

- You two are still together? - Well, yes.

- We have something in common

that keeps us from breaking up.

- At your age? what?

- The colours of our flags.

- What are you saying? - What is you husband babbling?

- He talks too much, but I no longer listen to him.

How's your mother?

- She's fine.

Did you go to court? - Yes.

- So, is it over? - It was already over.

Are you still into ravioli?

What's wrong?

You know, this guy... I think he's not that bad.

He must be totally confused, right now.

Try to put yourself in his shoes.

Between the thing with his wife and the worries he...

- How will she marry a married man?

- You told me that is wife is in a coma.

- She's not dead. Maybe she won't die.

- That is a matter of his concern.

- Do you know why she's in a coma?

- No. How should I know?

- My mother hasn't told you anything? - No.

- She tried to commit suicide.

- Because she was depressed?

Lucie, what's wrong?

Lucie...

Look at me.

Get up, we're going out for some fresh air.

- What's going on? - We are going out.

Get up, Lucie. Lucie, come on.

- Ahmad, take her in the back.

- Do you know why she tells no one that his wife committed suicide?

- Calm down, we'll talk about it later. - She's afraid this will come out.

- What?

- That she tried to kill herself because they were together.

- You shouldn't be talking about these things

with such certainty, especially at your age.

- Then don't say I've grown up if you don't mean it.

- I'm sorry.

- I don't want them to be together.

- Do you think this is up to you or me?

There's nothing I can do about it.

- If they get married, I'll never set foot again in that house.

- Your mother is pregnant.

It's his.

- No, you're lying.

- Wait.

Wait, I said!

- Do you know why she fell for that bastard?

Because he is like you.

- Get the keys from my pocket, please.

The other one.

- Good evening. - Good evening.

Oh, you're soaked to the skin! - I am.

There's some heavy rain outside.

- Would you like a coffee?

- I'm here just to take my suitcase.

I have to go until the trains stop running.

- It's here. You don't want to wait

until the rain stops? - I think it will take a while

until it stops.

Lucie is in? - No. Watch out the paint.

It was broken when they delivered it.

- Did you call her friends? - No.

I don't dare do it anymore.

You two had a talk today? - Yes.

Do you have some rope or something to keep the suitcase in one piece?

- There are one or two suitcases in the shed.

You may take one if you want.

- The kids are asleep? - No.

- Can you switch the light on?

- Would you call the kids? I have some presents for them before they go to bed.

- Fouad too? - Of course.

- He was not on the list

But I've found something even for him.

- Can I ask you not to give it to him?

- Why?

- Because he did something wrong and he deserves to be grounded.

- It's something they did together. If so, we have to punish them both.

- I can only talk about my son.

- What have they done?

- They looked for presents in your suitcase, by themselves.

- But the presents were still there.

- I've put them back.

We cannot dismiss the case like this.

- The suitcase was open, they were curious... it's not a big deal.

- I will ask them to come and apologize.

- Like this, they will think they can always get away with excuses.

- But I had already told them that I brought presents.

Now I can't act like nothing happened.

- Why don't you just drop it?

I think I've already punished them enough.

- I've only asked if that was possible.

- Good evening. - Good evening.

- Good evening, kids.

- No. You have to apologize first.

Both of you.

- I'm sorry.

- What about you?

- It wasn't me who took them out from the suitcase.

- But you were with her when she did, weren't you?

- But it wasn't me who...

- It doesn't matter who did it. You could have told her not to.

"I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry."

- I am sorry.

"I am sorry."

- I am sorry.

- Look at him.

"I am sorry." - I am sorry.

- Ok, now come pick your presents.

Come.

- You made it look like it was me

who took them. - I've only said it wasn't me.

- That means it was me. - Yes, it was you.

- No. Besides, it was you who told me

that the suitcase was open.

- You should have only listen, not go get them.

- I know why you're mad. You're mad because you

didn't get a helicopter. You got coloured pencils.

- Shut up!

- You're crazy. - Shut up!

- You're completely insane, - Shut up.

- I took it the size you used to wear four years ago.

- I wear the same size. - I've got something for Lucie.

I will give it myself.

- Thank you, Ahmad.

- You shouldn't smoke.

- She has never been

so late.

- I will go look for her. - Where?

- In the neighbourhood, on the streets, in the train. Where are the keys?

- You had them. - Can I come as well?

- Yeah, if you want.

- Maybe she would not want

to return with him.

- Why was she crying, at the restaurant?

- Who told you that?

- I called Shahryar. He told me everything.

She never returns so late.

What have you said that made her so upset?

- You haven't told her you are pregnant?

- Have you?

- I thought that knowing that will convince her to stop.

- So that the reason why she's not back yet.

You shouldn't have told her. - I didn't know.

Why is that such a big secret, anyway?

She would have found out, one day or another.

- But not in this way.

- She's not mad about your pregnancy.

- What is she mad about, then?

- Then what is she mad about? Huh?

- She acts like she is aware of everything.

- Aware of what?

- I don't find the keys. - Well, look for them.

- We'll talk about it later.

- What do you mean she's aware of everything?

I don't understand what you're saying.

- She says his wife committed suicide because she knew you two were together.

- She committed suicide because of...

- We'll talk about it tomorrow, ok?

- The keys are not there.

- It's ok, I found them.

- So what are you doing there?

- What am I doing here?

Does it disturb anyone, me being here?

- No, but...

- It's ok.

Excuse me.

- Wait for me, I'm coming.

- Ahmad?

- What?

- His wife had been depressed for a long time.

I met her while taking my clothes there. One could see she was not ok.

- Why wasn't she ok?

- What do you mean, "why"?

- Nothing. Drop it.

- Listen. Either you say things clearly or you don't say them at all.

- You told me that each time she saw you she was feeling unwell.

- I didn't say she was feeling unwell, I said she was unwell.

I said she was unwell! - Stop. This degenerates.

- You'd be pleased to hear that she killed herself because of me, huh?

- I don't want to hear anything at all.

You've asked me to talk to her, to find out what upsets her

and now I have just told you what's in her mind. That's all.

- Oh well, she's wrong.

I have to talk to her. - And tell her what?

Do you think she'd buy that?

- You don't believe me.

- Do I have to believe you? She's the one who has to.

- Why don't you believe me? What's so incredible in what I say?

- I don't think a mother of a 5 year old would kill herself out of depression.

- You dare telling me that?

Have you forgotten in which condition you were?

She tried to kill herself even when the kid had only nine months.

That too is my fault? By the way, I was with you, back then.

Her depression installed right after she gave birth.

Do you want to know what kind of meds was she taking?

- How long will you be

staying in Paris?

- I haven't decided yet about my return, I don't know.

- Was it necessary to come all the way? Couldn't you have hired a lawyer

to arrange the formalities? - Yes, but I wanted to come

see the kids again,

see Marie as well, put a proper end to everything.

- One would say this is not the end.

It looks like you two still have issues.

- No, what makes you think that?

- When two persons meet again after four years and start arguing,

it means there are still unresolved issues between them.

- We were arguing

about Lucie. - Lucie is mad because of me.

- No, there is a misunderstanding.

- On what matter?

Is it something private between you two, something I am not allowed to know?

- No, it's nothing private... - In this case, you have to tell me.

I don't know if you are aware, but Marie carries my child.

She smokes, she worries all the time... this doesn't do her any good.

- I'm also worried about her.

She didn't use to smoke, before.

- This girl destroys Marie. If she has a problem, she should talk to me or I...

Nothing's wrong with her, there is a misunderstanding.

- What is it, then, this rotten misunderstanding that ruins our lives?

- If you really want to know, Marie-Anne will tell you about it.

- I don't want her

involved in this anymore, ok?

- She has some thoughts

on your wife's attempt to suicide.

- She thinks that my wife killed herself because of

my affair with her mother? - So you know about this.

- I overheard. - Really?

- She did that because of a stupid story with a client.

- I've heard she was being depressed.

- If she hadn't been, she wouldn't have committed suicide for such a stupid thing.

If Lucie doesn't believe that, what can I do about it?

I'll make her meet my employee, she witnessed the argument with the client.

We should call the police,

maybe they can find her.

- Did it happen before, that she didn't return for one night?

- No, it's the first time.

- Maybe she's gone to her father.

- In Brussels?

- He's no longer in Paris?

- He went back to Brussels.

- Could she possibly be there?

- No.

She's not in good relations with him either.

- Do you want me to give him a call?

- It's better

if you do it.

- I'd be surprised

if she went all the way to Brussels.

- Nevermind, I'll do it.

- Ok. Give me his number.

- Shahryar called twice and

asked you to call him when you get back.

- Where's the phone?

- In the kitchen.

- Where did she get that idea from? - Which idea?

- On Céline's suicide.

- I don't know.

- No.

Ok, thank you.

Thank you. Goodbye.

- There. Her father's phone number.

Try not to worry him.

- She is at Shahryar's place.

She went to the restaurant and Shahryar brought her at their place.

- But wait, he has called twice.

Why hasn't he told me anything?

He saw how worried I was.

Why hasn't he told me she was with them?

I'm terribly worried, I've spent all my evening in dread!

Why didn't he tell me? - Let me explain.

- Explain? Explain what?

What are you going to explain?

- What's going on? - Nothing.

I've asked you in the car to talk to me about it, not to her!

- And me, I'm asking you to keep your voice down when I'm around.

- Why didn't he tell me she was at their place?

- Whose place? - Lucie made him promise.

She remained there on condition

that he doesn't tell anyone about it.

- He promises to hide a teenage girl at his place, is that normal?

- "Hide"? What do you mean? - Why did he do that?

- He felt sorry for her. - Didn't he feel sorry her mother, too?

- Where are the car keys?

- Where are you going like this? - She has to come back home,

sit over there and have a straight-forward talk with me.

- She thinks we still don't know where she is.

- I don't care!

She has to see what a mess she's done! I want her to understand that

that woman was being depressed and her suicide was not my fault.

- If you go take her back, she won't return.

- Well, if she doesn't return I'll call the police. I mean it.

- The cops will bring her back tonight, but then she'll do it again.

- She either comes back here or she goes to her father in Brussels.

- She won't come back while I'm here.

- Come in.

- Good evening. - It took you a while.

Don't you have an umbrella?

- No.

- Leave that here.

How did you arrive?

- By metro.

- You should have taken a cab. - I couldn't find one.

- Well, you've found yourself some nice trouble.

- Is she asleep?

- Yes.

- When did she arrive? - Late. She must have looked for you.

- And you don't say a word? Her mother was terribly worried.

- How can I reach you, if you don't have a cell phone?

I called at home, you weren't there.

If I had told her mother, Lucie would have left in the middle of the night.

What's wrong with her?

- She has some thoughts.

Lucie!

Lucie!

Lucie!

Sorry to wake you up. Your mother is waiting for you.

She wanted to come after you, but I've asked her not to.

Come on, get up. Where is your jacket?

- No, I won't go there.

I don't want to go back tonight.

- Ok.

I'll make a call and you talk to her.

Hello, Marie-Anne? Don't hang up, please.

- Hello?

Yes?

I'll stay here tonight.

- Why did you hang up?

- She did.

- Come, we're going.

- No.

- Get up.

We'll have a talk.

TV.

You have to listen to me carefully.

I don't know if you remember the last months of my relation

with your mother.

Do you remember that?

Do you remember the state I was in? - I do.

- I was always unwell, I stopped working,

I wasn't going out anymore.

I had no will to go on living. So, when your mom says

that woman committed suicide because she was being depressed...

I know how it feels like.

Even if she had a small kid.

- You were often thinking of killing yourself, back then?

- Yes. It crossed my mind.

- Did you also consider drinking washing liquid in front of Léa and me?

- What?

No.

- Do you think that a woman who enters her husbands' dry cleaning,

swallows some washing liquid

in front of her son and falls down to the ground

does that just because she wants to die?

Why didn't she overdose some meds and die in in her bed?

- We can spend the night imagining such things.

But these are nothing but speculations.

Tomorrow we'll meet Samir's employee.

She has things to tell you.

- No.

- Tell her I'm gone and she can come back.

It's better

if Fouad and I don't live here for a while.

Come, Fouad. We're going.

Come!

Come, that's enough! You're coming.

Come here! - Let me go.

- Come here, I said.

Fouad! That's enough, Fouad!

Leave that.

Thanks.

What does this mean? Huh?

When I say get off, you get off. Look at me.

You pay attention when I'm talking to you

Hey! - Let me go.

- What? What are you saying? - Let me go.

- Ok.

You'll never do that again, ok?

Look at me.

What does that mean?

Take your cushion.

- No.

- What's wrong with you?

What is it, Fouad?

Speak up. - I want to go back to Marie.

- We have to go home, now.

- You've told me our home was back there, forever.

- I did, but things have changed.

- Is it because the man who came?

- No.

- Because of what I did yesterday? - No, no.

- Why doesn't Lucie like you?

- Because she thinks I want to take her mother away from her.

- But she doesn't love her mother.

- Yes, she does. Every child loves his mother.

It's the same with you. You miss your mother.

- But she's no longer home.

- Do you want me to take you see her? We can go tomorrow.

- No.

- Why?

- She scares me.

- Your mother?

- She's dead.

- Why do you say such things, Fouad?

If she was dead, they wouldn't keep her like that, wired

to the machines in the hospital.

- If we unplug her wires, she dies?

Why don't we unplug her wires?

- Because we don't know if she wants to live like that

or she wants to die.

- She wanted to die.

- Why do you say that?

- That's why she killed herself. She wanted to die.

Forgive me, dad.

- This is the stain.

- His wife worked at the dry cleaning as well?

- Yes, actually Samir had told her few days before

to come, so that she changes her mood, her thoughts...

On that day, Céline had an argument...

- Céline is Samir's wife? - Yes, she's Samir's wife.

She had an argument with a client because the lady claimed that

the stain had been made at the dry cleaning

and Céline said: "No, the stain was there before."

- Is that all?

- After that, I tried to settle things down and said:

"Come back tomorrow. We will rewash the dress and that's it."

Then Céline disproved and said that I have no right to speak,

that I did not own the place,

that the stain had not been from the dry cleaning...

Then she took the dress and threw it on the sidewalk.

Next, the client called the police to make a complaint

and then I... I wanted to leave.

- Do you work illegally? - Yes, I work illegally.

But Céline said "No, you have to stay, you have to testify and say

that the stain had been there from the beginning, it's not our fault."

So I called Samir in secret and told him

he had to come. Samir came,

he apologized to the lady and told her

"We will pay you a refund and you will buy a new dress, is that ok?"

And the client said:

"Yes, on one condition: Céline must apologize."

Céline refused, she started to raise her voice

and ask me why had I secretly called Samir.

I wanted to leave, I started to get my things

Samir came and took me by the hand, like this.

And he told me:

"Look, you stay here."

And he told his wife:

"You should go now." He threw her out

in front of the client and in front of me.

So I stayed.

- That happened how many days before the suicide?

- Four or five days before.

Can I go? - Thank you.

Would you bring us a tea? - It's on its way.

- That's how depression is like.

The slightest thing can be enough

to make you explode.

- The day before her suicide

I have forwarded her all the love messages

that mom and Samir had exchanged by mail.

- What are you going to do now?

- I'm going to Brussels. - Don't talk rubbish.

At your dad's place you won't stay for more than two days.

You have to go back to your mother.

- I can't face a guy whose wife is dead because of me.

I can't look

his son in the eyes.

- Come sit down.

Do you want me to help you?

- You're not telling mom about it! - Listen...

- No, I don't want her to know. - Sit down! Sit down, I said!

Sit down.

- I shouldn't have told you. - Wait, wait. Listen.

You have two choices: either you keep this for yourself

and turn the rest of your life into a nightmare,

or you confess everything to your mother.

- What difference would that make?

- Perhaps this will influence her making a decision.

- Her decision is made already, she's pregnant.

- Imagine that she finds about it after her child is born.

Then it would be, indeed, too late.

- If I had wanted her to know, I would have told her already.

- Lucie, this is not a matter of what you want or not.

You should rather consider if it's important for your mother.

She has the right to know.

- Hi, mom!

- You ok?

Would you open the door for me? - Have you bought the chips?

- Yes, I've bought the chips.

- You're here?

- I was upstairs, with Lucie.

How are you?

- Have you had your meeting?

- What meeting?

- The one with Samir's employee.

- Oh! Yes, yes. We met her.

- So?

- Have you told Lucie that I was coming to Paris?

- No.

- Then how come she knew about it?

- She knew about it?

- Yes.

- How? - I don't know.

If I'm right, she reads your emails.

Where do you keep this?

- Did something happen?

- Do you want to go for a walk?

- No, I'm tired.

What happened, Ahmad?

- Do you want to go dad's place?

If so, I come with you.

- You have to stay here with mom.

- I want to be with you.

- It's not a good idea.

- She's a bit strange,

dad's wife.

- Lucie!

It will be ok.

- Is it true, what Ahmad says?

How could you do this to me?

What did I do wrong? How have I wronged you, little cunt?

How have I wronged you?

- Stop!

Marie!

What are you doing?

Calm down.

Calm!

Calm! Stop it.

- Leave me alone! Leave me alone!

- Stop! - Leave me alone!

- You've promised me you'll keep calm.

- Get out of this house!

Get out of this house!

- Don't stay there, get out. - Let me go.

- She's had a hard time already. - Oh God!

- I have asked her to tell you all this.

She could have prevented me from telling you.

She could have kept it for herself.

- You'd rather she did that? - Would you shut up at once?

Why are you still there? You get out!

Get out, I don't want to see you again, Lucie!

Get out of my sight! - Stop!

- Get out of my sight! - Stop it, I said!

Go to your room.

Go.

Remember that those emails...

It's you who wrote them, not her. She only passed them on.

- I don't want to hear you. Leave.

I hate it when you play the wise one and you teach me lessons

it's disgusting! - I'm not teaching you lessons!

You have asked me to come talk to Lucie and see what's wrong with her!

- Damn it, I didn't ask you to come for Lucie! I asked you to come here

to sign those damn papers

after a four years' wait and not to see you anymore!

- Listen. Why didn't you ask me

to come here last year?

Why do I have to be here

in the middle of this mess without being told

that you are getting married?

- You only had to read your emails! - And you haven't booked any hotel.

- What are you talking about? - And you made me sleep in the same room

as his son. Why? Huh?

- I wrote you an email.

- You made me come here to get your revenge.

That's it. Nothing else.

- You're right! Are you happy?

- Right before the court hearing

you tell me you're pregnant.

Why?

- Would you get out of here?

Would you go away, for good? Leave?

Please. - She's going.

- Lucie!

Where are you going like this? Come back. Come back!

- Who are you to tell me what to do?

- Please, Lucie, don't make things worse. Your mother is not well.

- Why have you told her? - You allowed me to.

- You gave me no choice. - I didn't want you to suffer.

- And now I'm not suffering?

I'm ok?

- Wait.

- Can you lend me some money? - Wait.

I'm coming with you.

- Wait.

I'm going.

- Ahmad?

Can I ask you something?

- What?

- What was written in those emails?

- I don't know.

- Lucie!

Lucie!

Get back in.

- Ahmad.

Ahmad, look at me.

Don't let yourself caught up by these things. Cut it off.

Like I did with Mitra.

Cut it off.

Nobody is irreplaceable.

- I keep thinking that if I hadn't left four years ago...

- You would have left a year later.

Two years, at most.

Your place is not here.

I've told you that since the beginning.

One has to chose his side.

You can't keep one foot here and the other there.

Doing the splits doesn't suit you well.

- Do you want to tell him?

You can just as well choose not to.

- Go to sleep.

Switch off the light, please.

Is Samir here? - Yes, he's upstairs.

- Hi. - Hi, Fouad.

- How are you? - Fine. Come.

- Are you busy? - No, it's ok. Come in.

- What's with all these? - Her perfumes.

I'm taking them to the hospital to make a test.

One of her nurses told me that the olfactory memory

is the most persistent.

- Is that yours?

- She was fond of it.

What's wrong?

- Nothing.

- Why don't you come in?

- I have to go.

I don't like it when you hide your feelings from me.

- I'm not hiding anything from you.

- You tell me you're not glad? That's some good news,

her having reactions, isn't it?

- What would you want me to say?

- You're stuck between your wife and me.

- Have you just figured that out?

- No.

It's been a while.

- Since when?

- What do you mean, "since when"?

- You weren't saying that kind of things until last week.

- I've always resented that, yet I wasn't strong enough to tell you.

Maybe because a lack of self-confidence.

- What exactly have you always resented?

- That I'm here only to fill in the empty spot left by your wife.

- And me, whose empty spot am I filling in for you?

- Nobody's.

- Are you sure?

I'm not here to compensate for the failure

of your marriage?

- Were it so, I wouldn't have your baby. - That... that was an accident.

- I could have

made an abortion.

- You've kept the baby to erase

that man from your life,

to convince yourself that you were starting a new life,

that things were over with him. But you're not sure about that either.

Otherwise, you wouldn't have brought him home; you'd have booked a hotel.

Do you think I don't see what has become of you,

these days?

I can't even recognize you

since he's been here!

- I'm like this because I found out why your wife killed herself.

- Don't bring that up, please. Don't bring that up.

- She knew everything. - Stop with your daughter's nonsense!

Had she suspected anything, she would have told me.

- She had never said anything about me?

- What could she have said to me?

- I don't know. She could have wondered why I was passing by so often.

- For her, you were just a client like any other.

- Didn't she have doubts about you? - No.

No, but I would have liked her mistrust,

to have her worried about me having someone else.

Then I could have known that she really loved me.

- Lucie had forwarded all our emails to her.

- How did she got her email address?

- Your wife gave it to her.

- They have never met.

- Lucie called her at the dry cleaning.

She told her she had emails exchanged by you and me

and that she wanted to pass them on to her.

Your wife agreed.

- When did she call?

- A day before

her suicide.

- Naïma, come here for a second.

Do you remember, after Céline had her argument,

the one when I threw her out...

- I do.

- Did she come to the shop in my absence?

- No. - Didn't she pass by on her way home?

- No, no. I haven't seen that in her last days.

- She was upstairs all the time?

- Yes. Well, in the day of the suicide she came down.

- But the day before? - No. Why?

- There is someone who claims that she talked to my wife on the phone here.

You can go.

- Hello, madam.

- Have a nice day! - Thank you.

- Look. Can you take care of that?

Samir!

- Forgive me, mom.

- Promise you won't lie to me anymore.

- When did I lie to you?

- When you told me you had forwarded the emails.

Do you promise?

Ok?

- Why do you think that was a lie?

- She wasn't at the dry cleaning the day before her suicide.

- But I talked to her.

- No. - Yes, I did.

She has an accent.

- She's French, his wife.

- Hello.

- Why have you done that? - What?

- Why have you done that? - What have I done?

- Why did you pretend you were my wife and gave her email address?

Huh?

- Forgive me.

- I'm not asking your excuses, I'm asking you why.

Tell me!

- She had something against me. - She had something against you?

Have you wronged her? Then why she'd have something against you?

- She thought there was something going on between you and me.

- Really? How did that cross her mind?

- She was suspicious because you have hired me without me having any papers.

- Had she told you anything? - No.

- Why are you talking rubbish, then?

- She always tried to find me flaws, so I thought...

- You thought?

Get out!

Actually, go back to work. She had never asked me to fire you.

- But she was always doing things! - Drop it!

She was always doing things so that I get fired.

- What kind of things?

Say it, what kind of things? What kind of things?

- Many kinds of. - Like what?

Like what? - I'm sorry.

- Like what?

- In the day of the argument, the client wanted to call the police,

and Céline wanted me to stay, she didn't want me to leave.

- So what?

- She wanted me to be controlled by the cops.

- Is that all?

That's why she's in a coma?

Get out. Get out!

- The dress... I took it myself out of the washing machine.

I took it, I ironed it, I put it in the plastic bag.

There was no stain. She must have stained it.

It's been a year since I'm here, and I've never seen that,

I've never seen a stained cloth coming out of the machine.

- How much do I owe you?

- But I work here every day, there has never been such a stain,

I swear! I'm doing the laundry every day,

there's never any stain left like that,

Céline must have done it. I swear!

No! - Get out!

Get out.

- I wanted her to know there was nothing going on between us.

You were always irritated, you were always distracted,

you were thinking of someone else and she blamed it all on me.

In the day of the argument, you told me to stay,

you took me by the hand. You told her to leave.

I caught a glimpse of her eyes for a second.

I saw what she was thinking.

- Because of what you've done,

this kid's mom has been paralyzed for the last eight months.

- It's not because of what I've done.

- It's you who gave her email address to that little idiot.

- But she hasn't read the emails, she would have known everything.

Why did she drink the washing liquid in front of me, then?

She would have done it there, at the pharmacy, in front of her.

Or in front of you, upstairs.

Why in front of me?

- Naïma!

Naïma!

- She won't come anymore?

- Who?

- Naïma.

- No.

- Why?

- Because she has done something bad.

- But she apologized.

- It is impossible to accept apologies for some mistakes, Fouad.

- Like what?

- What happened to you there? - Nothing.

I want to go to Léa's.

- Not right now.

- When?

When?

- When we figure things out about your mother.

- When will that be?

- I have no idea.

- I'm getting bored here, all alone.

- Why don't you come see me,

when you're bored?

- I don't like it downstairs.

- Samir!

- Hello. - Hello.

- Would you go upstairs for a bit, Fouad?

- After that, I go at Marie's.

- Go get your things.

Go.

Draw something for your mother, ok? - Ok.

- Sit down.

- Do you think she got our emails?

- I don't know.

- Had she read it,

she would have told you something, she would have had some kind of reaction.

- After her argument

we were not talking to each other anymore.

We have been angry with each other

until the end.

- Even if she had read them,

you were saying yesterday...

that she didn't care

if you were involved with someone else.

Could have that affected her?

- Perhaps.

I don't know. I'd rather talk about the present.

The past doesn't matter that much, it's all over now.

Is that you carry our child. We only have to forget.

- Are we able to?

- We have to be able to.

- What if we're not?

- Is your wrist any better? - It still hurts a bit.

- Did you go see a doctor?

- It's the lack of calcium. The baby takes it all.

- What month are you in?

- More than two months.

- I thought it you were sick because of the paint.

- I don't know.

It can be.

- I wanted to tell you something before I leave.

- About what?

- About my departure four years ago.

- There's no need.

- I wanted to explain you why... - Don't.

I don't want to go back.

Forget it.

- I should go, then.

- What about your things in the shed?

- I don't want them.

- Take them.

- Goodbye. What are you two doing?

- We're trying to get the helicopter down...

It's stuck up there.

- Have you broken it already? - No... it's just stuck.

- Can you reach it? - Wait, I have to see.

Pay attention! There, upwards. Yeah!

Cool. Now we can play.

You're leaving? - Yes.

Yes, I'm leaving.

Goodbye, Fouad. - Goodbye.

- Goodbye.

- Unfortunately, she has no reaction whatsoever.

- None? - I haven't took notice of any.

- This means the two times she scratched her abdomen... it was involuntary?

- Maybe. However, as I've already told you,

these tests don't provide us

any information on her state of consciousness.

- She had never scratched her skin, before.

- I can't really say anything. Maybe the nurses

left some traces by mistake while moving her.

You know, these patients' skin is very sensitive.

- But... doctor.

How can I be sure she didn't consciously do it?

- By doing some other tests.

But even if the tests show negative again, we still can't be sure.

I have to say... in such cases nothing is certain.

Hi. How are you?

- I put the perfumes next to her bed.

- Excuse me. Have you tested them all?

- Only one or two.

- See you soon.

If you can smell this perfume,

grasp my hand, Céline.
