Don't cry, Gerda.

I love you Fernand.

It's life !

Who would have thought ...

... that he was going to come back?

Ten years of silence ...

We all thought he was dead, of course.

Remember, he's still your husband.

Think about the sufferings that he had to endure!

Ten years in Siberia!

By car !

Close the doors!

By car !

Close the doors!

Tell me that you will never forget me.

Never, Gerda. Never.

Thank you. - Thanks.

It's beautiful, isn't it? - Ah! Yes it's beautiful.

It's even more beautiful at home.

Where is your home? - In Martigues.

Martigues? - Yes.

Ticket control, please.

What beautiful photos!

You want to see ? - Yes.

That's me with the chef's hat!

This is my wife.

And this is my restaurant.

"Real bouillabaisse."

Because I long to see them again.

"To the Norman sole ?!"

Wow.

Ask for "Provençal Dimanche"! "Provençal Sunday all sports"!

Ask for "Provençal Dimanche"! "Provençal Dimanche"!

Cream poached ...

White butter ...

With brown butter ...

A Santon...

The Miller...

Sir?

Oh !

Sorry.

Is it for a table?

You are alone or several!

You are not from Normandy!

I was born in Marseille in Plan-de-Cuques.

What can I get you ? - A pastis...

... Fresh.

Before here, it was called "The real bouillabaisse."

I dunno, you should ask the boss.

The sweet tooth, over low heat! -Yes, boss, don't worry.

Mr. André. - Yes.

There is the gentleman who asks if here, before, it was not "The real bouillabaisse".

Hello sir. - Hello sir.

"The real bouillabaisse". Ah, that is ancient history.

For more than 10 years... It's "La sole normande" here.

Monsieur has no doubt known the house during the occupation?

Ah! No, before the war ... I am a navigator.

Ah! Excuse me, I was telling you that because of your ...

Enough to ? - From your badger there ...

With these tourists, you never know.

There are some who enjoyed themselves in France, then inevitably ...

They come back. - That's it.

Do you smoke, sir? - Thank you.

I'll keep it for later.

I will smoke it on the sly, because my wife doesn't like it.

Will you drink something with me? - No refusal.

Just a tiny drop ...

... to please you.

Cheers. - Cheers.

In short, with you, the boss ...

... it is rather the boss.

Ah! You know...

... we don't always do what we want!

So what I see sir was a regular at the house?

A regular ?

That you can tell.

It is because we ate well here. The boss was a boss.

A chef ?

If one wants to !

How "if we want"?

What about his cooking?

Have you tasted his cuisine?

His beef stew, his fish stock ...

... her feet packets home.

His feet bundles!

Do you not like the feet bundles? - No, I'm not saying that ...

And his bouillabaisse?

Do you know what his bouillabaisse was?

It was boxes.

Ah! Yes, it was boxes.

Boxes ?

His bouillabaisse?

Do you mean canned food?

Be careful, sir, what you say!

You insult him.

Oh no...

... I wouldn't allow myself to insult a dead man ...

A dead person ?

Yes, he is dead ...

Didn't you know?

No, I ... First news.

Yes, he died in captivity.

In captivity ? - Wait, I'll show you.

You'll see.

Hold...

Look at this.

Fernand Jouvin, Private 1st Class ...

... had already illustrated during the campaign 39-40 ...

... by saving his kitchen on wheels under enemy fire.

Take prisoner with his division, disappeared in captivity.

It's nice... - Oh yes, very beautiful.

His wife, you don't know what has become of it?

His wife ?

Ah well, now his wife ...

It's mine.

At first, it was very hard.

But fortunately...

... I was there.

I quickly consoled her.

But by the way, if you've known her.

Are you happy to see her again?

No, don't bother her, you don't have to. - But if.

Christiane! - Yes.

Boss !

Boss, I turned down the gas, but the fond are black as coal.

Excuse me, I have to do everything here.

I can't leave them a minute on their own.

What is it again ?

If it's not unfortunate, we don't have a second to ourselves! I come.

Damn, the mother-in-law!

But ... but Marinette, it's a shame!

What is this mess!

It's a real revolution!

That is not reasonable.

Ah, this new generation! You have to do everything yourself here.

And those melons ?!

Marius, you bring them in, those melons!

Marius!

You have to keep an eye on everything!

Hey! He's lucky, that one.

There is who waits 2 hours before coming to pick them up.

Mr. André. - Yes.

The soufflé of 7, the customer asks for it?

The soufflé of 7? - In 3 minutes!

The soufflé, the longer you wait, the better it is, tell him that will calm him down.

We can see that he was not the one serving the customers!

Three béchamel artichokes that go well.

It's two of mine!

Watch that, you, quickly ...

Say, Uncle André. - Yes.

You know, I like you! - He will not miss more than that !

Do you know what happens on June 24? - No.

It's my Party.

Ben! You will have it on your bicycle.

But go, you're all the time in my legs at the time of the shot.

Holy guy.

3 Normans and 1 blue Rossini for the 4.

Say, aunt, do you know what happens on june 24?

No I do not know what happens on June 24.

... but what I know is that you are going to bed and in a hurry.

Come on, go say hello to my uncle. Well, goodbye.

Say, ma'am ...

... at three, it's not two Pouillys that they took is a.

And yet, they haven't finished it.

Here, I'll redo the bill.

Mom, be careful!

I didn't know if it was one or two, so, as a precaution, I had put two.

Oh, Master Sarrazin!

André ...

... Master Sarrazin!

Here is my little Louise, I have retained for four.

But yes, Master Sarrazin, your usual table.

Pink. - Good evening, Master.

Good evening, Master. - Mr. Colombey, the boss.

Good evening madam. - My friends.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

The whiskey of the house?

Really, that's great, well done! - Louisette, four whiskeys.

Mme Christiane, four whiskeys. for the table of Master Sarazen.

You chose ?

Ah, choose, choose ... That is the question!

We would eat everything.

2 days ago, I took a Norman sole.

It's a real plea for Normandy.

Ah my dear, you are Demosthenes.

Okay then, Norman soles.

Leave it, mom, I'll take it.

Hello?

Saint-Regis Clinic ...

... Madame Jouvin?

Yes, Madame Jouvin, it's me.

My husband ?

My husband, he's here.

Which ?

Fernand Jouvin! - What is happening ?

Yes, he was my 1st husband.

Oh my God !

André! André, come quickly!

Please excuse me. - Thanks.

What's the matter ?

André, it's not possible, I can't believe it.

What is happening ?

You can't go wrong.

We found his military record on him.

I'm telling you your husband is here.

Well, uh, my wife's husband is me.

Fernand, alive. I can't believe it.

He is quite capable of being alive that one.

Miss Pauline, you don't mind arrange the cushions and the bed.

It's all undone.

I've been retyping them for 3 times!

Yes, I'm doing it on purpose.

It allows me to see you up close, you have such pretty eyes.

So. - Well then...

Patients like you, you will copy it to me.

The.

Better, huh?

Cathinette, give Grandpa an orange.

I would have preferred caramels.

He is never happy.

Come on, let's sit down.

Here, mom.

My God...

... I can't believe it's him.

We must be clear about it.

It's here.

Come on, a little courage.

I'm here, come on ...

It's him !

It's him, you know. - Do not Cry.

You cried so much when he died.

Now that he's alive you're not going to start over.

I didn't believe that it was a possible thing.

Fernand ...

It's me, Christiane.

Don't you recognize me?

Scream ... Scream ...

Scream ... Scream ...?

Yes. - It's you ?

We thought you were dead.

Where have you been all this time?

I waited for you so much.

We can say that we waited for you! - You know...

Fernand ...

... this is my husband.

Delighted. - We already know each other.

He's the one who left without paying for his Pastis.

And how Fernand?

Were you home and left?

Ah! Yes...

... I understood everything and I didn't mean to spoil your happiness.

But all this time why didn't you write?

I couldn't ... The ink ...

What was the ink on her? - She was freezing.

But where have you been, then?

In Siberia. - In Siberia?

In Siberia?

Over there at the North Pole with the polar bears?

How did you manage, then?

Wrong...

... at the stalag, I had only one idea:

... Escape!

... See Martigues again.

... See you again.

And then, one evening, the great adventure has begun.

My provisions were diminishing visibly ...

... My last can of sardines.

You had to survive, and not get caught!

One evening, dying of hunger and cold.

I arrive near an isolated hostel ...

Despite the danger, I ended up returning.

The innkeeper, a real bully ...

... understood that I was not a real German officer.

I had fallen into a trap.

The next morning, there is a knock on the door.

It was the Feldgendarmerie.

I just had time to pass out the window and cross the border.

Unfortunately for me, the Russians took me for a German spy.

A guy who looked like me like two drops of water.

Same mouth, same teeth and then at the end ...

... it's here that they deported me to Siberia.

80 degrees below zero.

You may not know what it was to work ...

... in the open-cast salt mines.

This nightmare lasted 10 years.

I didn't even know that the war was over.

I was a living dead.

A beautiful day, an official telegram arrives.

I had been a victim of the cult of personality.

Finally, I was free and I could go home.

It's the return trip which seemed to me the longest.

Ah! - Ah! Yes.

In Siberia, by minus 80!

But how could you hold out you who are so cautious?

It's a matter of habit. - Oh ! Yes.

And now, Fernand, What are you going to do ?

What do I plan to do?

I'm going to work.

Before talking about work, he must rest.

He's tired that man.

No, when he gets out of here it will come "A la sole normande".

André ...

... in Martigues? - Yes.

People will talk.

Ben! I would like to see that.

A man who worked by minus 80, that would be the last straw, then.

I do not want to disturb you. - But no.

A convalescence is not forever.

And then, your 1st husband ...

... he's almost a parent.

Ah! Yes, that is right.

Okay, so Fernand, see you soon, we will come and get you.

Shall we kiss? - But yes.

Okay, my house is yours.

You are brave, you know. - Thanks see you soon.

See you soon. - Welcome back.

Say, grandpa, when I think you're complaining about one less stomach!

While there are people, similar things happen to them!

Say, sir, don't you want an orange?

But with joy.

The new, do you know the new one?

Yeah ! - Fernand is home!

But, who told you? did Jeannot tell you?

Come on, bye, Mr. Pelletan.

I'm leaving because my uncle him, he's not kidding.

Ah! This, Fernand, his house, he must have found it changed.

And his wife, even more.

It's true that, her and the money, it didn't work for him ...

Give me the glasses.

It's always like that, people who have too much of everything.

For now, she has too many husbands!

Two husbands, say, she's not going to cross her legs.

Why do you believe that they brought the Fernand back there?

For me, it is a question of big money.

Hey, that's gonna be one of those parts, I tell you that!

Especially since Fernand, with work, he never got along well.

In front of each other that all day long, he doesn't stop.

You even think he wants to shame you. - Not to me, anyway!

Because I, before I set foot there again.

They can always wait!

Not me ! For me, Fernand is Fernand!

And Rosa, Christiane and the Norman ...

There is no one who will stop me go and kiss her!

Vé, children, here he is, Fernand. - Show me.

Take a look.

Next to the curtain behind! - To me then!

I can see it better than with binoculars. - You've seen enough.

It's true, I see it!

Give me that.

Here is the mother-in-law! - This one is the worst!

She can't smell that one for me, why? - And me, she got me in the nose.

Oh, look at that loose figure!

Did you wash your hands? - Yes.

Hey, you hurt him.

Your leg is better. - It's cured.

You put yourself there! - Good.

And to think that every year for your birthday.

I had a mass read to you.

Say, if it's to pity them, I can reimburse you right away.

Norman sole in my own way.

Eh yes !

Eh yes !

That you will see what good food is.

The whole menu is buttery.

White butter pike.

Black butter skate.

Brown butter cutlet.

Say, but the oil here.

You put her in automobile engines?

No, we put some in the salad. - That's always it.

But tell me.

This exotic cuisine there.

Do people here digest it?

Taste.

We'll see that.

Then ?

What do you think about it ?

Does it surprise? - Is that surprising?

How do you eat in Siberia?

In Siberia?

Ah, in Siberia! But we ate cold, of course.

Over here, gentlemen ...

This way !

My dear Jouvin, I am very happy of your return among us.

Me too, Mr. Mayor, you think!

Gentlemen of the press would like to know your impressions.

We will start by taking a photo.

Don't worry about that, darling!

Here, I will serve you. You like this ?

Do you want a mold?

He's going to take a picture there.

Thanks, Mrs. Rose.

Here, take my bag. - Okay.

So be careful there.

I go !

Don't move, we'll double her.

Fernand, you are going to have your photo in the newspaper!

He's the hero of the day.

Then it's perfect. We're going to do something else.

Come on, lady, just a second.

Stand next to your husband, come on.

Don't stay there, André, come on.

Yes, sir, that's a good idea. Come on, come closer.

The !

Great ...

... between two husbands, extraordinary ... do not move !

Warning !

Smile!

Do not move !

Thank you.

Come see what the radio is saying.

It's Radio Monte-Carlo!

Yes, you're talking about a story. - It's Radio Monte-Carlo.

Maybe it's for Fernand.

Warning ! Do not move...

Thank you.

2, 1, 0. Watch out, the car.

Mr. Mayor, a word for our listeners.

As mayor of Martigues ...

I am happy, on behalf of the people.

To express the great joy that we have ...

By finding our fellow citizen, Fernand Jouvin.

The humble hero, but ... - Authentic...

That's it. And who returns from Siberia.

Thank you, Mr. Mayor.

It was Dr Sitoul, the sympathetic mayor of Martigues.

Mr. Fernand Jouvin, for our listeners as well ...

Do you want to tell us, in which part exact Siberia you were in?

North.

North and what was that north like?

Well, to the north, at the northern tip. It was terrible, cold!

And now Mr. Jouvin, What are you planning to do ?

Nothing...

... I am very good here ...

... surrounded by the affection of my wife ...

... of my ex-mother-in-law ...

... and my wife's new husband which I find very nice.

And I will try to forget.

And who knows, one day maybe ...

... get back to work.

Come on, let's tell them!

Who is this gentleman? - It's M. Jouvin.

He spoke...

... I recognized his voice!

Who would have said that, say?

The day we received his official death certificate ...

... that the mayor, he gave us a speech to draw tears to us.

When I think he's there.

And that he is still on the war memorial.

With the administration, it still has a long time to come.

What did he tell you ?

What he told me? - Yes.

I will tell you ! - Hey, tell me!

If you only knew where it came from ?!

But, where does it come from?

Hey, say it.

We are asking him questions, it's extraordinary !

He told where he came from, that's wonderful !

But, you will tell us!

Goodbye, Mr. Mayor.

Good-bye, Mr. Jouvin. - Good bye, sir.

Good-bye, Mr. Colombey. - Good bye, sir.

Bye Madam... - Colombey.

... Colombey, yes ...

Look at this ! What a site! A real battlefield.

Remember, it advertises you.

Good bye, sir. - Good bye, sir.

Hurry up, we haven't eaten yet, I'm hungry.

Hold on !

With that, I am not in advance for my soles.

And no one comes to help me here!

Louisette!

Yes I'm coming.

Help me put the cutlery on it.

Pierrot, warm up sole for Mr. Fernand.

I'm going to get dressed to receive customers.

Say...

In my time, you used to receive clients with the apron that had the red cherries on it.

Do you still remember? - I think so !

And for your mother's day ...

... with the neckline ... I haven't forgotten that.

Oh, go bandit! You still have memory.

It's not possible !

They could have put my name elsewhere than on the war memorial!

It's a pleasure to see you. - I must kiss you, Fernand!

Well, there it is!

And that one, do you recognize him? - But it's Bernard!

You guessed. - My godson !

I heard you on the speaker. - Wow !

It's great, you leave a kid in short panties ...

... you turn around, he's a giant!

That, it must be said that you, you turned around for 14 years.

Yes, maybe, but ...

In any case, for having been in Siberia, you look beautiful.

In Siberia? Yes, the cold preserves.

Friends, Pastis for everyone.

Go! Ooooooooh!

Oh, oh, for me it'll be a Scotch.

Scotch?

We will have seen it all.

He had to be naturalized American!

Cheers ! - Cheers !

It was very brave to bring him back here, but I don't know if we were right.

Tomorrow in the newspapers Mrs and her 2 husbands ...

I know some who will not finish talking about it.

What do you want ? We couldn't leave him there.

And then...

It was my pleasure to make you happy.

We don't even have time to have fun.

Huh, Christiane?

You are stupid. - -Tell me...

Mr. André? - Yes.

We ask you in the kitchen.

Oh, we can never be quiet, what!

All the time...

Tell me, I wanted to tell you.

Why did you not come at "La Sole Normande"?

Then ?

So if I hadn't come.

If I hadn't crossed the canal ...

Oh, are you dumb?

I'll tell you.

There, we are not in the odor of holiness.

We are rather poorly received.

Oh you understand ...

... we have his pride.

But me, I would have gone all the same to see you.

I was very well received, me ...

I was nothing.

I had nothing.

I am dead.

And the Norman as you say ...

He held on anyway to take me home.

So, we drink more, do you sleep there? -No no.

So what ?

For sir, it will be a Scotch.

Come on, here, oooooooh!

Come on...

Cheers !

Pierrot, it works on the 2nd. - Understood.

There is a customer at 5 who eats slowly.

And write numbers on a notebook.

It is undoubtedly the inspector of the Michelin Guide.

I might have my 2nd star, guys!

The sole of 5! - Yes.

Ah! It's the 5th, wait.

What did he eat before? - Which ?

Ben, the 5th ... - Ah! Puff pastry.

Shit then, they were from yesterday.

No, give that, you're gonna go wrong again, pushes you.

Good day, sir.

Quick, a plate, Marinette. - Immediately Sir.

Sorry sir.

The puff pastry ...

The mussel...

So.

Everything is fine ?

How do you like it ?

It's perfect, thank you.

A Mouton-Cadet for the 3.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen!

Ho, Christiane!

Are there a lot of people, eh?

Sorry sir.

Thank you sir.

Oh there, tomatoes for everyone.

Me I... - You, shut up, on the corner, over there!

Say, Marinette, go get me some olives there.

Is this what you need? - That's all.

Marinette, she has something else to do!

Is that so ! She has other things to do! So I go there myself.

Say, Pelletan, you who are used to ...

... go behind the counter, you will be the boss.

Oh, the olives ...

... black or green? - The two.

So I take both.

Sorry, sir, for the olives.

I must pass once more.

I have the olives, I can't ...

Wait, Fernand! - No.

I have the olives, he is going to lift it.

He will give it back to you.

André ... André

Come see what's going on anyway!

So, these Tomatoes, you serve them?

What about the water, boy? - That, the water, old man ...

Ask Rose. - No !

Ah, she said no. - She's there !

First, she said no. - Come on, kids! Hop, hop, hop.

So.

You remember the day of Maximin's wedding?

You took one of those bites.

I was still thirsty.

And the big one from Fos-sur-Mer!

She was stylish that one! - A real tram!

Sir, listen to me, if you've seen this girl.

Say, leave him alone. It doesn't interest him!

Sorry to disturb you. Enjoy your meal.

You remember you were singing "She's beautiful, she's cute."

Oh ! It's bad, not like that, it was.

"She's beautiful, she's cute. She is a very pretty person. "

"From inside the street, we can see her That she's sitting in her counter. "

"She always has a smile ..."

Hush, enough! - Oh yes, then!

Intolerable!

How, sir? - I said "Oh yes, then!"

Ah good ? He said, "Oh yeah, then."

André, it's a disaster!

André, have a drink with us. - Now is the time!

It's a small family celebration. But it's not every day like that.

Fernand!

Now that's enough. - Ah yes ?

Good...

A small crayfish.

Cheers. - Cheers.

Did you choose, ladies?

You're leaving already, you haven't started?

I am waiting for the note. - Please, it's for the house.

Everything is fine ?

Goodbye chick, work well.

Goodbye boy.

Go on... - Goodbye, Mrs. Rose.

"The Revenant of Siberia"!

"The survivor of hell"!

"The undead of Martigues"!

I tell you, me!

Fernand in a self-respecting house, it's a catastrophe.

Hello.

Hello. - Hello.

Hey! This morning, the bottom of the air is a little cool.

Did you see yourself on the newspaper?

You have become a star.

Hey, yes, I saw myself, yes.

Marius brought me the newspaper to the bedroom.

Coffee !

So.

Aaaah!

It's not my fault he's hot.

A croissant...

A rusk.

I'm hungry this morning I don't know what it is.

Do you have honey?

Honey, I find that, in addition to sugar, it gives a taste ...

Coffee, please.

Oh no.

So.

There are times in life where we don't have much to say to each other.

Well so precisely!

We have to tell you than your number last night.

You can keep it for the Pinder Circus. But not for "La Sole Normande"!

Mum.

Oh, you, let me finish! - Yes, let her finish.

So...

We have to tell you ...

... that your acolytes, the companions of the song.

Hey, we've seen enough of them here!

Or there is more than to put the key under the doormat.

We do not mix tea towels and towels!

And I will tell you first that here, I did not ask to come.

They brought me there!

Well...

... I'll leave you with the family.

You have to understand, Fernand.

It's more like before.

It's no longer the same clientele.

Now people are paying.

Oh I understand...

Just to sit down.

It almost costs the price of a meal!

And this world likes to be between them not with the thugs of Martigues.

Hey, these thugs from Martigues, they are my friends.

I went to school with them.

And Cricri too. They are good people.

Hey, since they are banned from staying, me too.

And I know what I have to do: the suitcase !

Mom...

Do you want me to tell you ?

You have exaggerated!

Fernand. - Yes.

Do you need anything?

Here, yesterday, I bought new socks for André.

You want them ?

I don't need your socks ...

... neither of your 403 nor of your modern comfort.

Fernand, you know, I didn't mean to hurt you.

There is only one person I would regret here, it's you, CriCri!

Don't say that, Fernand, you know that is not possible.

The last time I packed this suitcase it was for the war.

The war which is the cause of everything. Without her, we would still be together.

Your mother might be dead and we would be happy ...

Today is the big departure and you don't even look at me.

But ... I am married.

You are married.

You are married, I am dead.

Dead ... administratively.

In any case, if you need anything ...

No thanks !

A dead person does not need anything.

And now Mr. Jouvin, What are you planning to do ?

Nothing...

... I am very good here ...

... surrounded by the affection of my wife ...

... of my ex-mother-in-law ...

... and my wife's new husband which I find very nice.

Thank you, Mr. Jouvin.

And now, as is the custom at Radio Monte-Carlo.

We will ask to our listeners in the studio.

If they have any questions.

You, ma'am. - Mme Legrand, Châtillon sous Bagneux.

I would like to know, of the 2 husbands of Mrs. Colombey, which one is the correct one?

The professor of the faculty will answer you.

The legislation is formal.

The only legally recognized husband is the first.

Which means that in this specific case, is it M. Jouvin?

Exactly.

I don't agree. - So it's Mr. Fernand, the boss.

So that changes everything!

I'm staying.

Well, if it's Fernand the boss, I have nothing more to do here.

I just have to go! - André, you don't think about it!

He has only to replace me in the kitchen.

But what is it that asks to make you disappear? No one.

Alas, madam, you are a bigamist.

My God ! I who got married so that my situation is regular!

As for you, sir, you are considered a putative husband.

Putative?

Putative! Which comes from the Latin verb:

Puto, putas, putavi, putare, think.

It means you think you're the husband.

So what am I? - Nothing.

Do you understand something, you?

You, you are bigamous, me, I am putative?

And finally, I am nothing, me.

But then, Master, What do we have to do ?

First, get a divorce from Mr. Jouvin.

And then you can legally marry Mr. Colombey.

Oh well ! That's the bouquet !

We're married, we'll have to my wife divorces so that we can be married.

But it is not that simple.

If it is Mme Jouvin who is asking for the divorce, she has no chance of getting it.

On the other hand, if it is Mr. Jouvin, so he has a serious motive.

Which ?

Adultery!

The adultery of which Madame was guilty with you.

And on top of that, are we adulterous?

Hey! It was well worth it let's get married!

A meal of 40 seats in the middle of the black market.

I would add that Mr. Jouvin has rights to "La Sole Normande" ...

... for which you will have to compensate him.

What?

It's him all the same who created "La Vraie Bouillabaisse".

It was boxes, then!

Anyway, for him to file for divorce ...

... he must be alive.

What do you need ?

To be alive, he is alive!

But living legally!

For this, he must sign a document that you will claim at the town hall of Martigues.

... which will allow him to overturn the judgment of civil status which declared him deceased.

Warning ! I add that of the goodwill of Mr. Jouvin.

... depends on things going fast.

Or really drag on for several months, even several years!

So fingering, gentleness ... In a word, spare it!

Madam, my respects. - Goodbye Master.

See you tonight. - See you tonight.

Ben ... go get the papers. - Why don't you go?

What would I look like? Do you know what Master Sarazen said?

The sooner he has signed, the sooner we get rid of it.

Oh, men!

Oh ! Small.

Pull me that one.

There are 3 for us there.

Oh, as long as you make a diamond.

But that is natural.

Hold on.

Say, Turpin!

You have finished hitting your balls to make music ...

... and cut off his arm?

It is true, that, what! - Fool!

Aim ...

Oh !

You whistle. - But no !

No ?

Okay, am I going, godfather? - I'm sorry you're going!

And slowly, eh? And silence there!

Oh my poor.

AIE Aie Aie...

AIE Aie Aie...

Ah yes, then! Aouch aouch ! Do you play with them?

I didn't do it on purpose, godfather. - Not on purpose.

Come on, pull it, you! - Obviously I'm going to shoot it!

Oh, let's take stock!

You pushed the plug.

The ball remained, the point is still up to us.

That would hurt me, that!

I will not be able to say it, me, I measure! Gervasoni, pass me the string.

Do you have the black one there?

Don't worry about it! - But there is at least one finger.

A finger ? One hand, there is.

So who is he?

Finally, all the same this point is ours what!

Yours ?

It is obvious! - You curl!

Oh...

This is the height, you can't even go home anymore.

Here, since you have the papers, take the opportunity to get it signed.

But now is not the time.

They are in full swing!

And besides, they measure the point.

Okay, I got it, since you don't want to go, I'm going.

You're not a little crazy, are you?

Remember from what Master Sarrazin told you.

"We have to mè-na-ger."

Master Sarrazin, he does not care, it is not he who is putative.

So, are you going or not going? - My God, you can be rude.

It's not nothing to have that at home, then!

Be careful, let it go.

One. Two... "I want to see my Normandy again."

Fernand, I need to talk to you. - At work ?

Aren't you going to take it from us? - I'll give it back to you right away.

Amundi, replace me for two minutes.

Norman or Marseillais ...

... she leads them all by the nose.

So, is this the divorce you're looking for? - Fernand, it's the law ...

There is no other solution.

There is no law that requires you to divorce.

Finally, we'll see ...

You know, Fernand, you don't even need to bother.

A signature, and ...

Eh yes...

... a simple signature.

So I don't even have the right to ...

Listen, Christiane.

Am I your husband or am I not your husband?

That's not it, Fernand.

But you know André, you have to understand him.

We have been married ten years ago. So to see my husband arrive like that ...

Put yourself in his shoes.

I would like to.

I know what it is.

How do you know what it is?

Well, I mean, I imagine it.

I'm guessing because we are quietly at home.

Then we see it coming all of a sudden someone we don't know.

And who takes your place, there is something to take your breath away.

You want me to tell you what's going to happen ?

Fernand, at the first opportunity, he is going to take her back to his Christiane.

Women like the men who make them laugh.

And he makes her laugh and you don't make her laugh.

We don't ask you anything!

Finally, sorry.

Christiane! Christiane!

There is the Norman who calls for help. - You have the right to talk like that!

Why ? - André, he's a good, serious boy.

Ah, seriously, to be serious, he is serious.

But with him, you don't have to laugh every day.

You sound like we're still 20 years old.

We're past the age of having fun, Fernand.

"Pass the age", but when I look at you, Christiane.

And despite the difference that there is between us two.

It seems to me that I am still 20 years old, and maybe even less.

No, Fernand. - Yes excuse me.

Say, you read it and a simple signature, eh.

So he signed? - He didn't say "no".

He didn't say "no". But, he didn't say yes!

Don't jostle yourself like every day!

It's over, yes?

Come on, two by two!

What are we playing tomorrow? - We'll play Siberia.

The lion hunt, I am the lion.

There are no lions in Siberia. - My uncle told me.

Your uncle ?

My father said your uncle said that squealing.

What is that ?

Savage...

We can see that it is not him who sleeps!

Say, Uncle Fernand.

What do you give me for the price of my silence?

The price of your silence?

What does it mean ?

It means that you give me 500 francs, and I say nothing.

You do not say anything ?

And what do you have to say?

My boyfriend, his father who is a teacher ...

He said there was no of lions in Siberia.

What does he know your boyfriend's father.

He's never screwed his feet in Siberia. - And neither do you.

Ah!

You know what we call it!

Blackmailing.

You should never give in to blackmail.

Never !

Here are 500 francs, I give them to you because I am a good uncle.

Now let me sleep and all that does not interest me.

Say, aunt. - You, go upstairs and do your homework.

Hey, Fernand?

I don't want to bore you with this.

But we'll have to make a decision.

You don't always want to be dead.

So you sign.

Corn...

I dunno...

I don't know if that's my interest. You understand ?

Dead like that with you, it is already paradise.

I see you, I speak to you ...

I have the friends, I have the balls.

That you want more?

The ! This woman !

Say, oh, I'm hungry!

So...

Did he sign this time?

Oh ! "He signed ?"

That's all you can say! I can't sign for him, no!

You can't have 2 husbands ...

And there can't be 2 bosses here.

If you want it to be him you just have to say it.

Don't be silly now, say.

Me, I do what Master Sarrazin said:

Dexterity, gentleness and tact.

The !

Don't be embarrassed anymore!

What are you doing in my kitchen with your oil?

An omelet.

You will taste that, it's wonderful.

You're kidding me, on top of that.

Clear the floor, come on.

Ah, say ...

Not before finishing the omelet.

If you don't want to go. I am going to make you go.

André, what's up with you?

It's not because you have the law for you that you are going to be right.

Monsieur thinks he is allowed to do anything here!

Everything belongs to him!

My kitchen, my wife!

And what else?

A woman can't be shared, okay.

But a kitchen, there is room for two, right?

Which fills me.

I don't even have the right anymore to make an omelet in oil!

You, the oil, you know what it is. But sir does not know!

Here is what I do with your oil!

Oh, but then ...

This is what I do with your paper! Here, it is blazing.

Uh, that's the paper he had to sign!

Yes and it's also the omelet that I had to eat.

Good day Mrs. - Hello, Mayor.

She is very beautiful, this Christiane.

Do you think Fernand really wants a divorce?

Me, in his place, I would not divorce.

Hey ! Mrs.

Your Mr. Fernand, I am resuscitating it for you.

Hey, keep going.

Do you have any other papers? - Yes.

He must sign them. - Where is he ?

He's taking a nap.

You just have to wake him up.

André, don't you think about it? he must not be rushed.

And then the nap is sacred.

That is the last straw.

Me, I die all day.

Him, he does not care.

And the mister's nap is sacred!

Say, to sleep, with you, It's a little difficult !

It doesn't tire you to speak in this heat!

Say, Fernand, I have more papers. You sign them to me.

You, then, when you have something in the head!

So, am I coming? - Yes, you're coming.

Hey, yeah. - Yeah...

Good...

He must sign.

It has gone on long enough.

Ah, Mrs. Colombey.

I bring you money.

It is the Ministry of Pensions.

This is your war widow's pension.

You don't want to touch your war widow's pension?

You're no longer a widow since he's no longer dead.

But I didn't sign.

And as long as I haven't signed.

She is a widow.

So today she takes the money.

And tomorrow, I sign.

Good and thank you.

So goodbye everyone. - Oh !

Now that I'm awake I come with you, with him!

All means are good for him.

You'll see, he'll never sign.

André, still have a little patience, will you?

Wait 24 hours for such a sum.

What are you looking at him like that? - What can that do to you?

Good day, sir. Good evening madam.

Hurry, Marinette. Bernard has been waiting for you for a long time.

So, Christiane ...

We are going to sleep ?

Can't you see I'm typing the menus?

Oh ! You, since you have this machine!

You will type after. Come on, come on.

Everything in its time.

Well...

So, do we pat a bit?

You are not tired ? Funny, me neither.

It amazes me about you.

What do you want ?

Me, when I sleep, it is to forget.

Say...

... you don't want us to go take a walk on the pier, on a pilgrimage.

You look like a funny pilgrim to me.

Come on, leave this machine to her. Life is short.

I see you coming with your big hooves, you.

I am an honest woman, me. - Ah, so ...

Maybe you think to be a good Christian too?

You know what he told me Father Daniel this afternoon?

What did he tell you ? - He told me.

He told me that everything that was related to heaven ...

... could not be loosed on earth.

Note, it's not me speaking, it is the abbot.

André! - Yes.

Don't undress.

Why don't we go to bed?

Yes, but not together.

What?

André, you know that for 10 years we live in a state of mortal sin.

We didn't die for that.

What is it again that this story?

But it was Father Daniel who said it:

"All that was bound in the sky cannot be loosed on earth. "

what does that mean all this gibberish?

It means...

... that before God, as in front of the mayor ...

... It's Fernand my husband.

Here is the Good Lord who is involved! The only thing missing was him.

So there it is stronger than playing cork.

This is the point of view of the church.

They didn't say no though, to bless our marriage!

Same as for a low mass, it was not cheap!

It's by mistake.

As long as Fernand was dead, there was no harm.

Now that he's come back This is not the same.

You have to go to bed in the little one's room.

So I'm going to sleep on my own with the little one?

You want more of me, what! - No, darling, that's not it.

But, this is the point of view of the church, I can not do anything about it.

The church, what can that do to you? You don't even go there twice a year!

It doesn't prevent me from having religion. - Yes, oh ...

Since it upsets you, it is I who go to the little one.

What does it change ?

I'm saying this for you. It's a bad time to go.

How long will this last?

The time that Monsignor makes the necessary with the Holy Father ...

... to cancel my marriage with Fernand.

Monsignor, it's not him who sleeps alone!

Here is your toothbrush ...

... your toothpaste and your razor.

Go to bed, go ...

You are tired, tomorrow you get up early.

Good, good, very good!

Very well.

I get it. - Oh !

I forgot the alarm clock!

You think of everything!

Don't look like that!

You're welcome !

The priest!

My lord !

The Holy Father.

All the devil and his train!

You don't know me!

The point of view of the church, what the fuck do I care!

Fernand?

What's wrong with you?

Scream, thank you.

When I heard that your heart had spoken.

See what situation you put me in.

And make me sleep with the little boy! That, I do not admit!

Mortal sin ! That is a bit strong!

Father Daniel! What is he doing?

Scream, I am very happy that you have made your decision.

My decision ?

What decision?

Well, André, it breaks.

But say ! What do you imagine?

But it was you yourself who told me how I lived in a state of mortal sin!

But with him, but not with me.

With me it's not a sin on the contrary.

Since I am your husband.

No ! No, Fernand, no, really.

I know you you suffered a lot in Siberia.

But he is such a good boy ...

... worker...

... sober ...

... and faithful.

Here, Louisette, you fall well.

Since the time that I wanted to ...

This evening...

I'll take you to the movies.

At the movie theater ?

Hey, say ...

Dressed as you are, we will have a strange success.

Good, very good, it is missed, what! One more time.

Fernand, don't insist.

Do you want me to tell you what you are?

What am I ? Me, I'll tell you what you are!

You are like your mother.

You have a wallet instead of the heart.

Madam, she needs the good life, people who make fuss.

Finally, I understand you.

Vé, Louisette, not yet in bed?

No, Mr. Fernand.

That gives me an idea.

You don't want us to go at the cinema together?

Say, I don't know what you all have with cinema today.

Finally, just look at you. The cinema is at home!

What did she mean by: "He is at home"?

What is it, are you running away from me?

I have nothing to tell you.

You are angry ?

What have I done to you ?

Did I do something to you?

Say, do you take me for a fool?

Do you think I got it all wrong?

You want everything, here: my wife, the barracks ...

The hut, you can take it.

Christiane, that ...

This is another matter.

Are you crazy, let's see?

Scream?

Scream? Why is your name Cricri?

You can't call her Christiane like everyone else, right?

Because I knew her before you did.

And now I don't want Cricri. - Oh ! We say that.

I tell you as I think it is.

Come and have a drink at "Petit Marseille". - I'll never drink with you again.

André, do you want me to tell you?

You are a victim. - Oh !

But yes, a victim of women.

You work too much, you get up at dawn.

All day, you have the navel in front of your stoves.

You brown yourself like a donut.

And in the evening, when you go up to bed, madame does not receive you.

She shuts the door in your face.

You make me pity. - Oh, you're exaggerating.

Say it's not true.

These ladies, they take everyone for idiots.

They smile at you from the front the better to torpedo you from behind.

While you ...

... you can't suffer me, but ...

... you don't hide it.

Yet, uh ...

Me...

... I have great esteem for you.

So why won't you sign the paper for me?

For your sake ... - Oh !

I'm doing you a favor.

Do you like putting on a hard collar?

Do you like her to stop you from smoking?

You like to hear yourself say it every day. "Did you take your bath?"

How do you know all this, you?

Because she did it to me. - Is that so ?

Do you see, André ...

In life, there is only one thing that matters:

... freedom.

Freedom ?

Was a long time ago.

I have already fought for freedom.

It's even for that that I came to hide in Martigues

Freedom ? More like slavery.

Slavery? I am not a slave.

I do what I want!

Oh, Christiane set the alarm clock at 5 a.m. you have to go to bed.

Come on, over to yours.

Vé, Christiane!

There's nothing to say, eh.

Christiane ...

... it is a beautiful woman.

In my time ...

Nothing has changed.

If I tell you !

It's good.

It's not worth ...

Oh my God !

Me no. - No.

Ah! No no.

Ah, if I tell you!

Because...

... a reason.

Oh ! You exaggerate. - No no !

Oh ! You are from Marseille! - I'm from Marseille, but all the same ...

That did not prevent that ...

Ah?

Ah! Well ? - Yes.

Too bad.

Warning. - This is the table.

Will you drink a little Calvados?

I brought it from home, it's good.

Tonight, I'm going to drink it, your Calvados.

It must be fun.

Well, go ahead.

Aouch aouch !

Oh, you're gonna wake her up.

But it is funny.

Here, rinse your teeth with this.

Come on, ass dry. - Dry ass?

Are you doing well ? - Fill me up.

Is that going to make some noise? - With that, you would wake a dead man.

This is exactly what I am looking for.

I am happy. You will put that on my account.

Well done !

How much is that? - Five.

Come on, send.

Not too far.

There is good.

Oh oh...

Where are you going now?

And what is this?

Take your time, we're in no rush.

You are going to make me a cork cream.

A cream ? That knows me.

Doesn't that make you laugh, you fools?

Look at those faces there! - André! And the soles?

They are not ready! - Ah!

Ah! Yes, that's a shame. You should go, she's right!

You have to be at your stove right now.

If you're the one who sends me to work. - André.

She calls you you better go, go.

For once, dear, that I was going to make a chestnut cream!

Stopper! - Stopper!

He comes ! He comes !

I want to see my "Normandy" again.

You're done singing, you fool! What is this ?

You can't respect other people's work, right?

Work is sacred!

Lets' go. To me.

Look at this !

Tee, look at them.

I'm telling you.

Fernand in a house is ruin.

Yesterday the balls, today, the fishing and tomorrow...

Say, André, you could tell, when you go!

But I leave when I want.

I will go fishing every morning if that makes me happy.

And it's not you who will stop me.

You smoke ?

So, all the more reason!

Here, take this good cigar!

I'll turn it on for you.

You will smell this perfume!

Ok, I'm going to bed. Are you coming, André?

Oh, to sleep alone! - You are hurting me, André.

So...

... come.

Well !

Good evening.

You're not going to deflate, especially tonight!

Oh !

So...

Play !

Is that you, Fernand?

Yes it's me.

What are you doing ?

Uh ... I'm fixing the ... - With a knife ?

When I was the boss here ...

... I did this with a fork.

It's to round off my weeks.

Ah!

Mum ! - What do you have ?

They emptied the cash drawer.

40,000 francs!

The scoundrels!

We must call the gendarmes. - Why the gendarmes?

Yes why ?

Who are the bosses here? It's us.

This, for example. - And it's not over.

André, tell them what we decided.

Have you decided without us? - Perfectly.

Four weeks of vacation per year and we will close one day a week.

Take this.

Louisette! At your work.

Hey ! Look at this ... Hop!

Hey, I almost caught two.

Hey! Little ones like that, I throw them away.

You can talk well, you haven't taken anything yet.

Ah yes, me, I fish big.

Two in five minutes, you're a witness.

It hasn't happened to me for 15 years.

At home, in the English Channel, I am called the king of mackerel.

In the Channel!

Well without me you would still be the king of Norman sole!

Yes.

You're not better here than in front of the stoves?

Come on, say it!

Ah well, surely the air is better.

Ah well, obviously, yes.

Hello !

Oh well, come on, he's fat, that one. - Oh yes, then.

Why don't I take big ones? - They don't know you!

Ah, they are jobastres.

Ah! Well, he stung me.

Hey, look!

Hey, look!

What are you doing ?

It amazes you that!

Do you put on fish nail polish?

No.

I paint the hook.

It attracts them.

Ah yes ?

Why don't you fish with dynamite, then?

Ah, that one, then!

Attention, I send.

Jeannot, get up from there!

Can't you see I'm wearing the swimsuit?

Are not you ashamed to watch your aunt get dressed?

She doesn't dress, she undresses. - Is that so !

What are you doing here ? - Nothing.

You do nothing ? Liar !

Are not you ashamed ?

You deserve that I pull your ears. Get the hell out of me now!

André, I thought of you. Do you want a little Calvados?

Bring it to me.

Do you want me to bring it home? Aren't you coming to drink with us?

When I fish, I fish.

Listen to me.

André, he's a Norman, but he likes the sea.

You see, Cricri, what you deprived him of!

Here, take this to Uncle André and above all, do not drink it on the way.

It's 80 degrees. - Oooooh, there are more children!

Say, Cricri, how about taking a nap? - No, I prefer to sunbathe.

You prefer not to take it in the shade. - No, I prefer the sun.

Ah well, that is a matter of taste.

Well, it doesn't matter.

For a bigamist, there is one who fishes and the other who naps!

You can say that I am spoiled.

Say, uncle, André, give me 500 francs and I'll tell you a big secret.

Can't you see I'm fishing! - That doesn't prevent you from giving me 500 francs.

Here they are and let me see you again.

You are wrong because I would have told you:

You know Uncle Fernand. - Yes.

He's a liar. he never set foot in Siberia.

Ah! If it's not unfortunate to hear that!

Fernand! - Oh !

Don't you know what he's saying? - No.

He says you've never been to Siberia.

The ! Wait until I arrive!

Come here, come!

Listen, don't listen, he lies as he breathes this little one.

No, these children are terrible!

See if you believed it it was the same price, that.

Come on, let's see!

Ah, shit!

Yes, it is the reel. - Yeah, he's talking to me, this kid.

You have room there. - Thank you.

So what are you waiting for? Go sit !

I wasn't thirsty.

I could have fished again during one hour.

Fishing, fishing, you only think of fishing.

We had a good day! - Ah! Yes.

Are you happy at least? - But on Tuesday we had 40 covers.

Come on, you only think about your pennies.

Hey ! A tango.

We did it ? - Do not think about it.

You won't refuse a tango to a man who hasn't danced for 12 years.

Ah! You see ?

Come on, dance.

Thanks, André.

Two diabolos at the table. - Well sir.

And sir? - What do you want to drink ?

Lemonade, Uncle André. - A lemonade !

And for me...

Do you have cider? - Yes sir.

Well, it's not going to be good.

Ben! Give me some beer. - Beer, okay.

It's the best time of the day.

It's the best time of the day.

The fish do not bite that at sunset, it is well known.

I will come back Tuesday and alone, like that, I will be quieter.

For you, it's beer. - Yes.

Here, take that off.

The little one is lemonade.

For the Lady, for Monsieur ... - Thank you.

Say, uncle, the tango it is the dance of the frotadoux.

The tango, it is all of our youth that is coming back.

I like you, Christiane. - Fernand, you're not going to start over, say.

Oh no, I'll finish.

You know, André, he's a good boy.

You fell well, better than with me.

Oh, Fernand, what's the matter with you?

Take...

Looked.

What is that ?

Your paper ...

Sign...

You know, I like you, me, Uncle André.

Where did he go, Uncle André?

He's gone for some fresh air!

He doesn't like the tango!

My God !

What did he imagine again?

The car ?

It's not possible !

That would be too stupid!

Hey my friend the weather is nice in your country of Normandy.

I will come back!

When you leave, you could warn.

You make me do 1000 km so that I fall in front of the dumb?

I didn't ask you for anything!

What are you doing here?

You don't lack nerve after what happened!

What happened ?

Oh excuse me, do you think I didn't see you kissing.

That's why ?

So you think for a brotherly kiss ...

You did not understand that I gave him the signed paper.

It's still a story!

If you believe I believe you.

You lie like you breathe.

When i think it's for a misunderstanding ...

... that you left your poor wife crying with tears like that?

Now, it's no longer mine, it's yours!

In front of the mayor, in front of the priest!

Because the laws are poorly made. - You didn't always say that.

Come on, let me work.

André, do you want me to help you? - No, I don't need you to help me ...

... it might tire you out.

Oh ... fool!

It's raining, eh?

You are preparing my note for me, madam. -Yes sir.

Fool!

Sorry, madam, you allow that miss typing a letter for me?

Of course sir, if that can help you.

You're really nice, you know ma'am.

I can take it in shorthand If you want.

Here :

Honey. Without "e".

I'm desperate. With a".

I wonder why you left the day Fernand signed the paper?

For the rest, the priest said that ...

... it would work out and that we would go fishing every Tuesday.

Come back soon.

Hey !

Oh ! Am I going home or not? - I don't think you're coming home.

So, am I not coming home? Do you leave me out in the rain?

You have no luck It's been 40 years since it rained like this.

40 years ? Well, old man!

You don't know why I came back.

I forgot to give you back a letter from Christiane.

Yes. Come on, open it up. - No.

Don't you read it? - Oh, I have plenty of time.

You have time, but me, when I am given a letter, I'll read it right away ...

... because sometimes it's urgent.

Yes, but I won't read it that when you're gone.

Eh yes ! Good-bye then. - Bye.

Yep, goodbye.

Listen to me... to prove to you that you are a friend ...

I'm going to tell you a secret ...

... that I wouldn't do to my brother. Swear to me not to repeat it!

You don't have a brother!

Besides, I don't need a secret.

Let me sleep ! - I'll tell you anyway!

I'm not listening.

I have never set foot in Siberia. You listen ?

Liar !

Where have you been then? - In Tyrol!

Fernand's fiancée? - Yes.

He lived with me for 13 years in Krems.

Ah, Krems, in Siberia?

What an idea ... No ...

Krems is not in Siberia.

Krems is in Tyrol!

I understand everything !

Siberia, the salt mines, the ink that froze! That was it.

He never told you that he had a wife waiting for him?

No he said that he lives with his old mother.

Mrs.

In short ...

Has he ever told you about me?

No.

He only said that French women are lazy.

I don't want to bother you.

On the contrary, it will happen in a while.

We will wait for him. He will be delighted to see you.

Aaaah!

We are still happy to go home.

Hold on, hold on to everything.

You had a good idea.

The flowers, that will make him happy.

Yes, that is a nice touch.

Say, Uncle Fernand, what is you give me if I tell you a secret.

A beating to leave you behind! Get the hell out of me!

It starts again.

But finally ! Pass the 1st, since you have the flowers.

Ah well, yes.

Didn't you write that? - No ! Go up!

Komm, komm, Gerda.

A mistress ? The miserable.

He returned to Siberia to find her.

So me, I came because he sold the house.
