All language subtitles for At my age of seven (2003)

I left Montpellier
in October 1952.

I was seven years old.

This unexplained departure...

I can only vaguely remember.

I see Michel and me sitting
in front of the house,

while my dad was packing the 2CV,

overloaded like it was an exodus.

We knew that Montpellier would
always be our lost paradise.

THE YEAR IN WHICH I WAS SEVEN

I still see the Jardins Du Pérou,

the Place De l'oeuf, the
dunes of Carnon.

I smell the fragrant lagoons...

which we crossed by train
from Palavas-Les-Flots.

But I don't have a picture
of our house anymore.

I remember the arrival in Lille.

I still see the red brick houses...

and my grandparents
who rushed around us.

Everything seemed hostile to me.

The first day of school
didn't want to end.

I felt like a stranger.

I wanted my parents...

to bring me back to my old school.

When I saw that they had left,

with my little sister,
without a word,

everything collapsed.

I never forget the cold
shower with which...

my grandma wanted to calm me down.

I'll cry until they come back!

Until they come back!

28! Damn! I broke my record!

I am Nosferatu, the vampire
of the Carpathians!

Very smart!

I wasn't even scared.

My foot!
So why did you flinch?

Michel, will you tell me
the story of Nosferatu?

- Not now, I don't feel like it.
- Please!

Don't you ever get
tired of that story?

You shouldn't have started it.

"It's night,

"a pitch-black night.

"The sea is raging.

"The storm is blowing in
the sails of the ship.

"Everywhere it crashes and whistles.

"Suddenly...

"Nosferatus coffin opens
and his face appears."

- And the hook-shaped hand?
- Wait!

"Nosferatu catches two rats,
rips their heads off..."

- Good evening, kids.
- Good evening.

- How are you?
- Very well.

- What's with your eyes?
- I am Nosferatu.

Yaya, I broke my record!

Great.

Georges?
Come out of the tub!

- Georges!
- I'm coming.

Get out!

What's going on, now?

Do you smell something?

- What should I smell?
- Gas.

My poor Alice, you're obsessed.

The tap is closed, so it
doesn't smell like gas.

You should have renewed
that thing long ago.

Your stinginess will gas us all!

What does "gas" mean?

It means that gas escapes
and enters the lungs.

Get out!

Come, quickly!

Hello? Is that you, Marthe?

- It's mom!
- Wait.

I want to talk to her!

Were you with counselor Morel?

Don’t wait too long.

- The sooner the better.
- Is that mom?

Yes but...

Yes.

We don't know how
it will develop.

Is it mom?

It's not about that.

You're not alone, you
have three children.

The amount of alimony
must be set...

I can't speak.
The children.

Keep me up to date.

Kisses.
Wait, I'll give you...

Hello, mum?

Darling, talking on the
phone is very expensive.

Hello.

Hello.

Do you know them?

Their husbands work in my factory.

- What's your job, Yaya?
- Social worker.

I fix their housing problems,

their health and money problems.

- Are there many workers?
- About 800.

That's many!

Do you take care of everyone?

They don't all have
problems at the same time.

Be nice!
Bye, my sparrow.

Hélène, tie your shoelaces,

otherwise you will fall over it.

Be nice!

Michel?

I've shown you that
a hundred times!

- What's an exhibition?
- A fair.

Gozart, do not whisper!

That wasn't me. Modiano
asked what an exhibition is.

There's nothing to laugh about.

Hélène!

Are you coming?

Are you coming?

Ask my sister!

We're not baptized.

- See!
- Aren't you afraid?

- For what?
- To burn in hell.

It's true!
The pastor said...

that all heathens
will burn in hell.

Can you never go to confession?

Nor communion?

- But of course!
- Come down there!

Rosine? What does
"go to confession" mean?

Go to confession?

Well, go to confession means...

to tell the pastor your sins.

Liar! Why did you say
we go to confession?

He said we'd burn in hell.

Do you burn in hell if
you're not baptized?

Oh! As likely as snow in July.

Do you know Grandpa
and Yaya for a long time?

For over ten years.

Then you knew mom
when she was little?

No, when I was 15,
your mother was 19.

She was already engaged
to your father.

Look!

That's what I did in 1943
in St-Denis-De-Cabanne.

- The baby is me.
- Yes.

You were 6 months old.
What beautiful curls!

- St-Denis what?
- St-Denis-De-Cabanne.

We were hiding so that the
Krauts wouldn't find your dad.

It wasn't always easy.

We had nothing to eat.
We were freezing.

It was war, yet
we laughed a lot.

You know what?

It was the happiest
time of my life.

I'm going.
Don't open for anyone!

Until tomorrow!

Look, Michel!

At school, everyone makes
fun of my accent.

They don't hear themselves!

Especially Cannelle: "Give me the
marbles or I'll wallop you!"

Did you think it's dad?

Here, in the region of Nassam,

our patrols fought against
the Viet Minh troops.

Early in the morning there was a
massive attack by the Viet Minh.

Without the communist pigs,
they wouldn't stand a chance!

Stop with your hair,
it's annoying!

The Luftwaffe prepares an attack...

south of Nassam in front of...

I made you some nice oatmeal.

Aren't you hungry?

Hopefully he won't get sick.

You are annoying with your news!

Do you have a headache?

Sore throat?

Stomach pain?

What's wrong with the kid?

I think he's sad.

Your Yaya has a magic
cure against sadness.

I make you a caramel milk.

Go to bed, I'll bring it to you.

I think I'm sad too.

- Don't be just like your brother.
- That's unfair!

Such a klutz, poor girl!

Grandpa, I have a bellyache.
I have to vomit.

Wait, we'll be right there.

What is that weird figure?

That was the sign of the militia.

The same one was on the
school wall in Montpellier.

You don't even know what that is.

These were French pigs who
killed other Frenchmen.

- Were you in the war?
- No, I was too old.

We were in Switzerland.

We stayed until the liberation.

Switzerland is neutral.
There will never be a war there.

Right.

If it is war again, I'll go to
Switzerland. And you, Hélène?

You always get to be in the front.

Normal, I'm a man.

Did mom go with you?

- Where?
- To Switzerland.

No, she was with her
father in the free zone.

- Did you leave her alone?
- Marthe does exactly what she wants.

It was natural for her to
stay with your father.

Did the militia turn in
Aunt Jeanne to the Krauts?

In 1942 the militia didn't exist yet.

Nice neighbors had reported
them to the Gestapo.

What is the Gestapo?

In German it means
"geheime Staatspolizei".

You take the first syllables:
Ge-Sta-Po.

It was Hitler's secret service.

Was Hitler really a painter
before he became a dictator?

Yes. And since he
could speak well,

he became dictator.

Look, Michel.

- I did a double loop.
- Great!

Alright, go on, Grandpa!

(in German)

I didn't know anything
about this talent!

Miss Simone.

You can't deny.
She has your eyes.

Everyone says that I
have my father's eyes.

And you? You are a painter.

Your grandmother is proud of you.

He was born with a brush.

Say it out loud.

May she come to the factory party?

Naturally. You can even
take part if you want.

Do you want to dance
with the little girls?

Good.

Mr Crémieux, do you
enlist Mrs Crémieux?

- We go shopping.
- We'll even buy bicycles.

Then have fun shopping!

1, 2, 3...
4, 5, 6.

Bend your little arms!

Raise your arms four times!

Very well.

Slowly at the end.
Beautifully graceful, my little ones!

Get up, make a circle.
Very well.

Camille, hold your
arms over your head.

You are a little
swan, not a cow.

So, now the small diagonal.
Quick!

I'm just waiting for you.

Turn! Move your arms!

That's right, Hélène.
You are very sweet.

Your hand to the outside.
Lovely.

Listen to the music.

Come behind me.
Get up!

And the position for the final.
Attention, the final position.

Can I go on dancing
after the party?

- Do you like it?
- Yes! Later I'll become a dancer.

A dancer has to be graceful.

But I am graceful.

No, my sweetheart.
You have other qualities.

Where am I?

Don't you recognize
yourself with the pigtails?

- Is that Mirka?
- Yes.

- Who is the big one on the bike?
- This is me.

Liar! You were never
with the gypsies.

So what? When painting
you're allowed to make up.

- Here, for you.
- Thank you.

Look, Grandpa.

Very pretty.

Did you paint this?

No, Michel.
But I had it commissioned.

- What's this caravan?
- It belongs to the gypsies...

on the field next to our house.

Will we go back to
Montpellier someday?

My memory of Montpellier
was full of melancholy.

I never spoke of my
parents' absence.

I promise to be quiet.

Stop with your hair, it's annoying.

And you, stop with...

When I grow up, I will
live in Montpellier.

And you, Michel?

Come on! Hurry!

Why are you running?

A collaborator!
He denounced Jews.

- What does "denounced" mean?
- Be quiet!

Come on!

You made a mess of your knee!

What's all this about?
Peau De Lapin is harmless.

Michel talks nonsense, and
you believe everything.

Ask Grandpa if it's true.

How do you feel about ballet now?

Do like this!

You're beautiful.
I have to iron your dress.

Put your hands outwards.

- Rosine, will you help me?
- Gladly.

- Look, Yaya!
- A real ballerina.

Isn't that too dressed up?

The dress suits you.
Is it new?

Are you kidding me?
I've had it forever.

- My seamstress...
- Heil!

The boy has gone crazy.

- What?
- My grandson as Hitler?

Your grandfather can be proud.

Get changed immediately!

You can't do that.
Hitler is evil impersonated.

- He's a devil.
- You can disguise yourself as a devil.

That's not the same.
Hitler is not an invention.

He really existed.
You must not joke with that.

He's done too much
damage to mankind.

Get changed quickly
and be sensible.

You can't tell me what to do.

I have a better idea.

Stars of snow, your groomsmen...

form a parade,
decorated with flowers.

With a wedding our story ends...

with the shepherdess and
her little Savoyard.

Thank you.

Thank you, sweety.

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.

And now our ballet.

Our ballerinas will show an
excerpt from Swan Lake.

After the break follows
our big costume contest.

Thanks, see you soon.
Come, sweety.

Go!

Go on the stage!

Are you sad?

Why? You were the prettiest.

It's true.
A lady told Yaya.

I know, I'm not graceful.

When I think about this year,
the passage of time is blurred.

I don't remember if
my father's parents...

came before or after Christmas.

Michel was proud of
their American car.

I found their accent and
exuberance a bit ridiculous.

I remember the beautiful dress
they brought me from Athens.

Careful, your hands are
dirty, sweetheart.

Nice to see you!
You've been growing a lot!

- Don't you feel cold?
- It's an upside-down world:

Bad weather in Greece,
good weather here.

Stop smoking! You've
smoked a pack since Paris.

Your grandfather always
has to exaggerate.

So what's the deal with David?

Listen, Sam.

It's not the only couple
going through a crisis.

How do you mean?

And all your aperitifs
out of the house?

I was always back for dinner.

This has been going
on for three years.

She had no idea.
It beats me!

And the children?
What will become of them?

The walls have ears.

The children are not informed.

I know why you're speaking English.

Children, do you remember
the song of Montpellier?

When we got out of school,
we came across...

a very big railway,

that led us around the whole,

has led us around
the whole wide world...

Darling, what's wrong with you?

- What's wrong?
- It's the song.

It reminds me of Montpellier.

It's not a sad song.

We sang it on the
way to Palavas.

Did you see?

What do you have in your mouth?

What is this cross?

Josiane, sitting next
to me, gave it to me.

It means something to
Christians, but not to us.

Why?

Because we are Jews.
Besides, we don't believe in God.

I believe in God.
He created the world.

That's all nonsense.

If you like chains, I'll
give you a much nicer one.

Give this cross back
to your friend, yes?

Are mom and dad also Jews?

Yes. And your grandpa and your Yaya.

Goodnight, sweetheart.

Hélène, Michel!

- Let's go.
- They're coming.

- Bye, Sam. Ida.
- Bye, Alice.

Is that a good or a bad guy?

A good one.

I'm afraid he's going to die.
Tell me if he dies.

Nobody dies in the cinema.
Be quiet now!

If you leave me too,
you, my only love...

- What are Jews?
- Jews? They're Jews.

Are there many Jews?

Good question!
Hitler killed 6 million.

6 million?
Why did he kill them?

To him, the Jews were vermin.

And mom? And dad?

And grandpa? And Yaya?
Why aren't they dead?

Because they were hiding.

And if they had found them?

Then they would be dead.

And you too?

Not me.

Rosine would have said
that I'm her son.

I would have stayed with her.

Then you would be called Maillard.

Me too?

You wouldn't be born.
You were made after the war.

My parents had left me,
God did not exist,

Hitler had killed the Jews,
and I almost didn't exist.

I struggled with the confusion.

I needed order and verification.

Look, Rosine.

The crown of the English
queen for her coronation.

Show me.

"2783 diamonds,

"including the famous Koh-i-Nor,

"277 pearls."

That's a scandal!

While poor people are starving.

If I wasn't already a communist,
I'd join the party.

Why? Are you a communist?

Yes. So what?

Does grandpa know?

Of course.
I never tried to hide it.

And he says nothing?

He pretends he doesn't know.

Does the factory
produce these fabrics?

No, they are made in
special workshops.

When we were still living in Paris,

I had my own looms.

Why did you leave Paris?

In 1934, I founded my company...

and I moved here because...

this is the textile region.

That's why it comes cheaper.
Do you understand?

Do you like Rosine?

Yes, of course.

How do you like her?

I just like her.
That's all.

Why do you ask?

Is it certain that
Hitler is dead?

You can answer.
Is it certain?

He is gone.
I told you to keep quiet.

Now be quiet.

It's not certain.

Some say he fled to
South America by submarine.

If you start again,

I won't take you fishing anymore.

How do you want to do that?

You can't even touch a worm.

Do you remember the war?

Yes, I remember the
boots of the Germans.

Liar! You were a baby.

Do you think babies hear nothing?

Would you be sad if
I didn't exist?

Hello, my darling.

Hello, big shot.

- And mom?
- Mom stayed in Paris with Pauline .

She found a job with Air France.

- Is she coming soon?
- Soon. I promise.

- With Pauline?
- With Pauline.

She's big.
She goes to school in Paris.

I'd also like to go
to school in Paris.

And the Frégate downstairs...

The Frégate?

It's mine.

Hélène, dad!

David?

Where are you?

Hide yourself!

I saw them!

Don't say anything!

- We saw you!
- Don't hide!

Look what I found.
Looks like eggs.

These are eggs of a dead fish.

Probably frog eggs, right?

Or the droppings?

Does she have children?

I can say what I think.

And I think you're acting crazy.

- Did you think about them?
- They have their whole lives ahead of them.

For me you were the perfect couple.

Are you starting now, too?

Let's go.

Come on!
Hélène!

We're going.

- I think I have a stomachache.
- Breathe deep.

Let your sister in front!

Will you take us to school tomorrow?

I only eat with you.
I have to be in Boulogne early.

I'm meeting a customer.

Don't go!
Take me with you!

- Don't you like it here?
- I don't like Lille.

I don't like my school.
I don't like Yaya.

How so?

She's unfair.
She likes Michel better than me.

She brings him a caramel
milk every night and not me.

She likes men rather than women.

It's true that Alice
always preferred men.

I also know that she loves you.

Do you believe me?

A mosquito kiss.

An Eskimo kiss.

A butterfly kiss.

A Russian kiss.

Give me a big smile that
I can take with me.

You are both secretive,
Michel and you.

I didn't know you
were going to Bruges.

I don't care about Bruges.

Don't be sad.

Otherwise I'll be sad too.

Good night, my darling.

Daddy?

No, nothing.

I'm a little bit sad.

Don't you want to
sleep in bed with me?

Tell Yaya to bring
you your milk!

- He speaks Walloon.
- No, Flemish.

Walloon is like French and
Flemish is like Dutch.

- Do you understand what he says?
- A little bit.

You should be interested
in your surroundings.

Michel is interested in everything.

Not all little girls have
a chance to go to Bruges.

Look, Napoleon!

- Where?
- There.

And the cat looks so real!

I like the big doll best.

Shut up, I'm tired.

- I'm tired!
- Just sleep!

I can't with the light on.

Do you know how the
Germans made lampshades?

With the skin of the Jews.

They took the ones with the
most beautiful tattoos...

and killed them with a neck shot.

They cut their skin
and let it dry.

That's not true.

That's not all.

The others were sent
directly to the gas chambers.

That's not true.
Stop or I'll call Yaya.

They made soap out of the fat.

Grandpa showed me
photos in the library.

I didn't hear anything.

My foot!

- Were the children deported?
- Certainly.

They were killed immediately.

That was great!
You should've come along.

I thought I'd never make it.

You can see the whole city.
It makes you dizzy.

You should have come along.

The little girl is
not herself right now.

She does not have a fever.

I didn't say she's sick.

I said she's not
herself right now.

You never listen to me anyway.

Her father's visit
completely confused her.

You think so?

He comes and goes again.
He shouldn't have come.

You shouldn't play...

with the feelings of a child.

I don't want you
to talk about dad!

I forbid you!

Hélène! Come back!

You don't miss a single chance!

Michel, go get her.
Hurry up!

Photo!

Thank you.

All back to the classroom!

Well, Hélène?

Aren't you feeling well?

- I have a headache.
- Come with me.

That's quite a scarlet fever.

I made you a caramel milk.

Come, sweetheart,
give it a try!

It'll be good for your throat.

That'll be your mum.
Shall I give her a message?

She should come!

Yes, Marthe.

She had 39 this morning.

Yes, I'm waiting for Dr. Adrien.

I think it's scarlet fever.

When I was well again,

Michel had become a stranger to me.

He's no longer in my memory.

Do you know what Yaya bought me?

No.

A sewing box, a canvas...

and decals.

- Your Yaya is spoiling you.
- Only since I am sick.

Else Michel is her favorite.

Preferences can't be forced.

That's no reason to be unfair.

Are you also Jewish, Rosine?

No.

Why did you hide in the war?

Your parents were hiding, I wasn't.

I followed them
because I liked them.

You're starting to peel,
a good sign.

How were my parents
when they were young?

They were...

in love.

I don't know what would've
become of me without them.

They taught me how
to use my head.

My parents only spoke Ch'ti.

What is Ch'ti?

For example, if I say...

This is Ch'ti.

I'm going.
Do you need anything else?

- A hot water bottle?
- No, don't bother.

Don't open the door to anyone!

I don't know about the Bible.

But the printing was Gutenberg.

Gutenberg is the right answer.

One thousand francs!

- Do you keep playing?
- Yes, the questions are easy.

Be careful!

It'll get harder.

Listen carefully:
"The famous French pilot...

"Guynemer was shot down in 1917,

"after his 53rd win."

That's good news!

Grandpa says you only have 36.8.
That's great.

The day after tomorrow you
can go back to school.

I think we celebrated too soon.

Why?

37.8 in the morning,
I don't like that.

That's 38.2 in the evening.

You better stay at home.

You said I can go
back to school.

I couldn't foresee that
you would have a fever.

I'm bored on my own.

I don't know what to do.

I told everyone you
were a model patient.

Be good! Until this evening.

37.8 is not a fever.

Yaya said tonight I
would have 38.2.

If you take my temperature,
I bet I have 37.8 too.

Liar, you're jealous.

No chance!
This evening with the class...

we'll see Hopalong Cassidy,

and Yaya will buy
me roller skates.

I don't care, I have skates.

We will call the
first candidate.

Please step closer, miss.

See you tomorrow, sweety.

- I know: don't open to anyone.
- Yes.

I want a brass band to...

pick me up from
work in the evening...

and escort me to the station,

where I take the train every day.

What filthy weather!

- And the little one?
- Lies in bed.

- Does she have a fever?
- 38.2.

Just what I thought.

I had 37.6 in the morning
and 38.2 in the evening...

for weeks and weeks,

without my grandparents
noticing anything.

I became the night watchman.

I was waiting in my bed.

As soon as the light
went out, I got up.

I kept doing the same round.

I constantly had to
look under the bed...

and check the shutters,
the door and the gas.

I was never sure if I
checked well enough.

So I got up and started again.

The ugly clock in the hall
way paced my insomnia.

The lungs are fine.

Tuberculin sample negative.
The blood-work reveals nothing.

I'm seriously worried.
It's been two months.

Is she sleeping well?

Almost too much.

Rosine says she doesn't
get up until noon.

Although Hélène
is very sensible,

it would be better if you
measure her temperature.

You took your time to pee!

Come on, your little bum.

- I do not like you to see my bum.
- Your butt...

I saw many when I was
a nurse in the war.

Not all were as pretty as yours.

When were you a nurse?

In the first World War.

I was 18.

So after the war I was awarded...

a beautiful medal by
Pierre I of Serbia.

- As a reward.
- A real king?

A real king.

That's it.

Let's see.

38.6?

- Did you read correctly?
- Yes, 38.6.

Oh you, my only love,

I'm left with nothing,

nothing in the world.

"The madness separates her
from her little daughter."

For a long time, I wondered why
the picture of a crazy mother...

disturbed me even more than
the atrocities of the Nazis.

Because it showed me the
fear for my own madness?

That's not an
adequate explanation.

Are you awake, Sleeping Beauty?

What are you doing in the dark?
Why didn't you call?

Isn't that better?

"For Rosine".

You didn't tell
me it was for me.

Thank you, sweetheart.

Do you know what would
make me very happy?

If you finish today, so
I can take it with me.

This will look good on the dresser.

I go finish the dishes.

Drop the paratroopers!

Back to the base!

Did you take your vitamins?

You have to, if you
want to get well.

I don't want to get well.

What's wrong, sweetheart?

What's the matter?

I can see that
something is wrong.

Don't you want to tell me?

- Who are you writing to?
- Your mom.

I'll tell her that you need her.

That's none of your business

Hello, my sweetheart.

You've grown!

At school we're making stickers.

That's Rosine.
Let's surprise her.

Where are you?

You are already here!

You should have come
with the 5 o’clock train.

We took the night train.

- And Pauline?
- She's sleeping in my room.

Look what Mama bought me.

Really Parisian!

Inside is red nail polish.

What's that?

I don't believe it!
You look like Martine Carol!

That's a slap in the face!

Get out, darling.

We'll pick up Michel.

Quick, otherwise we'll be late.

- You should put some weight on.
- I know.

I lost five pounds.

Michel, at school
we're making stickers.

Good for you.

Are you flying in a Constellation?

I am not a stewardess.

I work in the airport.

I receive the passengers,

show them the way, inform them.

Why did Rosine say...

you get slapped?

At 18, I was in
England for a month.

When I returned, I
was blond as now.

As soon as I was
ashore, my mother...

gave me a big slap!

Look, mom.

That's nice.

I didn't notice.
He was the same as always.

I felt that there was
something wrong.

You know everything!
But it's not about you!

- I'm sick of it!
- Me too.

I'm the one who's
been criticized!

You're not listening.

When we express our opinion,
you send us packing.

- You know what?
- No.

You will ruin your
life out of pride.

- Out of pride?
- Yes.

We don't blame you.
But maybe you have...

given up a bit quickly.

You've made three children.

You only made one, but
that was one too many.

Why are they there?

I don't know.
Maybe they're at school.

- Why are they naked?
- Because they're dead.

Why are they dead?

Because they were Jews.

Can you believe it?

Hitler killed 6 million Jews.

Even four-year-old girls.

Who is Hitler?

A very cruel monster.

More cruel than the
witch in Snow White?

100,000 times crueler.

Worse than the
ogre in Tom Thumb?

Much worse.

I don't like the story.
Tell another one.

- Why are you up so late?
- I was thirsty.

Go to bed, it's two o'clock.

Was Dr. Adrien your doctor
when you were little?

I was living in Paris.

Since when do you know
that you are a Jew?

- Who told you that?
- Grand-daddy.

That's typical Sam.

He can never shut up.

- Isn't it true?
- It is.

What good will it do you
to know that?

It doesn't mean anything.
The less you say it, the better.

Why didn't the Jews
hide in the war?

What?

Why didn't they hide?

Because they didn't
see the danger coming.

Come on, hurry up!

You're brown as a gingerbread.

Let's get dressed again.

Your mom and I talked about you.

We thought, a change of air...

Do you know what
a sanatorium is?

This is kind of a
specialized summer camp...

for sick children like you.

I don't want to go there.

I want to go to Paris like my mom.

I told you.

Can't you take her
to Paris after all?

No.

I tell you again: it's impossible.

Turn around.

Mom, take me with you.

I would also like to
have you with me.

I have to work.
You would be alone all day.

I'm alone here all day too.

You have always been
my big sensible girl.

Try to understand.

3 million viewers...

are standing along the
route of the cortege.

Some spent the night there,

but the sight of the
golden carriage,

the face of the Queen, the
symbol of the British future,

is a splendid reward.

And now the highlight:

The Archbishop of Canterbury
takes the crown of St. Edward,

decorated with a thousand jewels.
He shows them to everyone...

and puts it on the head
of the 27-year-old.

All peers put on their
medieval crowns.

A spectacle in the
nuclear age...

Jesus...

I pretended to be sick.

Please don't send me
to the sanatorium!

I'm not going to the sanatorium!

I felt Michel's sad look.

I didn't want to look at him.

Each turn brought me closer to
the point of no return.

I could have confessed.

Then everything would go back
to normal. But which normal?

I preferred to keep silent.

Your mom is on the phone!

Your mom, Hélène!

I thought you forgot.

We did a treasure hunt.
My team won.

I have a new friend,
her name is Lucie.

She was born on the same day, in
the same month, in the same year.

And Aunt Françoise said...

we'll celebrate our
birthday together.

This evening.

She's the director.

Her husband's name is Uncle Paul.

Okay.

Come here for a moment.

Are you in such a hurry
to go to your friends?

Do you like it here?

Your mother was glad that
you have no more fever.

It is strange.

Since you're here, you
have no more fever.

How do you explain that?

Maybe the change of air.

Come on, hurry and
meet your friends.

That was the year in which I was seven.
