Original subtitles

No

That's it

Gently

We should head back inside Tom

Get u warm

There's a big storm coming

He looks kind a of creepy doesn't he?

all be right behind you, Tom.

E minor.

It's the right chord.

Hello?

Miss Whitman, it's Dr Jansson

I have bad news.

What's wrong with you Princess?

Why would you not spin?

We had to bring your father in again

As we predicted, his episodes are becoming frequent

This one looks quite serious

I understand

Mr. Whitman?

Tom?

I know you have to come a distance,

but... if we could discuss this in person...

Yeah, i will be there as soon as i can

Bye

Can you hear me Mr Whitman?

Matthew knew it was hopeless,

Nothing mater anymore

Mr White's body was melting and even as Matthew watched

The snowman could no longer speak.

The happy face Matthew had loved, now was nothing than slush

Matthew stared up in to the sky, watching the winter's last snowflake floating down,

Some said it's touch held the power of magic But Matthew hat lost it's faith in stories.

When the snowflake finally touched Mr. White out stretched arm.

a coating of fresh frost spread outward from it and the puddle of water under the snowman,

crackled as it turned to ice

Matthew's heart filled with joy

As he watched Mr. White come a life.

The story of winter's last snowflake had come true.

The magical winter.

Would never end.

Time to go too bed, Children.

you're that new boy? Tom?

You made that snowman, in the backyard.

I'm Ann

What's that?

She's beautiful

Can't you talk?

i Can talk

Are...... those your parents?

That's my mom.

She got sick and..... she's dead now

My dad is a pilot

Is he dead too?

He's not dead.

My dad's Theodore Whitman, And he is a hero.

He saved all those passengers from a tornado.

But he crash landed

When he is rescued, he'll come and gets me.

Nobody here has any parents.

Lights out!

Good night, Tom.

Sleep tight, princess

Aah....ow

You'll meld for this.

uh m

Well, well, well

Look who is here!

It's good to see an, old friend

I was just standing there, in the backyard,

minding my own business.

And i felt this... sting on my arm.

What?

I think it was that little thing,

Tom, let's you and me, take a trip.

See where it goes next.

Who knows? maybe we'll bump in to someone You used to know

Encounter thing you've only dreamed off.

I.... i'm dreaming

That's why everything is so weird

So come on

It'll will be fun

You'll will be safe, with me.

Listen buddy,

If you're too scared to come along i understand

Maybe your not a chip of the old block Don't worry about it.

you can just go back to bed.

Or, you can come with me and have a adventure

Feel so real.

He,he

Ice and genuine oak

Hang on, buddy

Let's go!!

Now there's a sight for sore eyes

What's that?

It's nothing buddy, just a rotten pile of wood and steel

Why don't we go take a look at it?

ugh!

Look, it's your father

aren't you excited to see him?

It's just a dream

Ha, ha, This is as real as it gets for you, buddy.

This morning

Your father has multi-infarct dementia

It's a condition caused by ........

multiple strokes

We spoken about this several times over the phone.

Yes, we have

But given his current condition.

You wanna pull the plug?

Well, it's not quite like that

He's is not on life support,

Though his heart did stopped twice

each time we brought him back, but.... to keep doing it....

Where will I'll sign?

You making the right decision

It's best to let him go

He's been living in a fantasy world, for the last couple of years

He is regressed to childhood

I just think it would be cruel to..

I can reach you at your father's if....

....we need to.. Uh.. speak.

I don't expect you, flying back in this weather.

No

Well, I'll leave you two alone.

Nothing has changed, has it?

I'm not even a memory, am I?

I'm just a blur, like always

You know i waited so long for you to reach out.

This was a mistake......

I've done enough for you.

Stop!

You, he needs to turn back

It's to late, i can't

No, Help

No..

Hang on!!

No...Help

No Ahh

No... Aah

What? This is....

It's just you, being you

Hi Tom. It's been a while.

Do i know you?

Huh, of course we've have known each other since we were kids.

You're crazy

I was. Fore a while

Come here, let me patch you up

You're wondering, Where you are!

I'm in a dream, with a crazy women

If i am, it doesn't reflect well on you

In all sorts of ways

actually, i used to be your voice of reason

God knows, you needed one

You were very good, in a lot of things but dealing with real world, wasn't one of them

None of this makes any sense

Aah, It should

I'm just saying the thing you expect me to

Buddy!!!!! He, where are you?

Hey! I'm here

Quite, he'll find you!!

Oh, leave it, it'll just remind you of...

You're nuts, leave me alone

Selfish and rude, Yeah, that's the Tom i know

The snowman isn't the best tour guide, you know?

He's not what he seems

Don't let him steal the rest of you.

I can't see you, buddy!!

I....

Give me a yell, loud as you can

Mmm

Wretched brat, you're hiding

Not so nice now uh, is he?

You

Careful out here, Those tracks are unstable

liable could collapse on us at any time.

Why....., why is this thing here?

Huh!, Beats me

Somebody thought it was a great idea to build it on this godforsaken place

Hey, wait

Do you know where the music is come from,

I've heard it before.

You've heard it. Kid, we've all heard it

All day, every day, same damn melody. Over and over again

Makes me sick

Aah......, come on

Dammit.

Why do I even bother?

This thing can't be fixed

What do you want to do, Gem?

Gem?

Just leave it, it's lifeless

Yes, thank you.

Let it rot

be careful!!!

Song of myself?

Worthless brat.

I let him out of my sight for a minute, and all this bullshit shows up

U uh

The little runt's more trouble than he's worth

Ah, dammit.

Oh whoopsy, I missed a spot

What are you doing?

Nothing,

I was just looking for you....

....and now, I found you

Come here. Let me take a look at you

What?, what this?

Just took a bit of a beating in the storm, is all

Aah, don't worry about me

Hey, what do you say we have some fun, huh?

No, what's wrong with you?

First, we fall. Now this!!

This dream's stupid, I'm leaving

Hey, hold up, pal

Relax,

I got something for just the two of us

Two tickets to the circus.

It'll be great, buddy

It's right around the corner, let me show you

No

Leave me alone. You're making this too weird

Don't you walk away from me

Get out of there

Let's see what they got

Go away

u uh, It's okay, I'm not mad

Come and share

There's painting with me

No

No, what happened? What have you done?

unveiling of me

the magician that never fade

This deep side

coiled around my chest

Hi, Tom

..... see tha....

I'm glad you got away

Aaat Major cau.....

What did you do with my Arabesque?

You used to call it, your princess

Wonder do

True? Do i

I love

Could she really spin like you said?

that's all there

Or is that just another stupid lie?

Sorry,

another story

A silver platter!!

Did you really think that fixing it would fix things with her?

No. You didn't really want to fix things, did you?

I don't want that, it's broken

What are you doing? It's mine.

I'll have what she's having

Who are you?

you used to play so beautiful, Tom

You had a song for every little thing in your life

It's a shame it had to end

I understand

You quit calling me Tom,

you don't even know me

It's you who no longer knows people, Tom.

And it's your own fault, for feeding him

Don't let him take all of you

Wait

These doors of yours aren't going to keep your secrets safe from me

Dad,

I had a bad dream

What are you doing?

Nothing

I'm doing nothing at all.

It's bedtime, go back to sleep

Dad..

Is this about your mother again?

The circus..

..it's not until tomorrow

Just go to bed

Dad

What?

Are you scared?

How can you be scared of it,

if you've never even seen it?

Huh?

Huh?

Look, it's just a bunch of clowns

And trapeze artists,

wearing tights

That's all

Alright?

Buddy

Back to bed now

Thomas

Yes, sir

Nothing

Bed

Now

No

No

A snow storm is still escalating and the temperature is falling fast

Our friends in the weather department are forecasting record-breaking cold today

So it's a good idea to stay indoors, especially for the elderly

The authorities are warning of possible blackouts, so take extra care

Maybe get yourself some batteries, candles and keep an eye on for your elders

Hello

Mmm, well, well, well, look at you!

You're beautiful

Ann..

of course.

How did you get in here?

It's a magic trick

I can't reveal the secret But it involved a brick

Well, it's nice to see you

What happened to 'You Destroyed My Life You Old Bitch'?

Nobody destroyed my life.

You people just did what you wanted

Everyone for themselves, right?

It's unfair

Wasn't like that

Really?

what was it like? Because

the band, and the tours, and the money,

and all that stupid crap

That seemed a lot more important to my dad.. ..than anything that had to do with me,

or my mom

And even when he was home, he was never here.

He was always lost inside his own mind.

Anyway, I don't care

You may have unresolved issues with Tom.

I don't

Oooh, yeah. I can see that

Well, it's not like I've ever been a part of his life, so

You were always the most important part of his life

Yeah, that's better

Aah

I don't know why he had to put the bad ones up too

He just could never let go

Who

How cute

You used to be a happy kid

Used to be.

All thanks to him

All he ever wanted was to forget everything

And move on with you

Of course, it didn't work out

You know, Ann, was a long time ago

You really should just let it go

When you get old enough, you don't fear death anymore

You wait for it. And after a while, you hope for it..

..even if you don't admit it.

Do you know what?

Because losing your mind before you go is worse than dying

You hope your, will check out before your brain turns to some mush

Yeah well, you still seem pretty sharp

I'm talking about your father

He's in a dark place right now

Doesn't, bother you, not knowing how he remembers you?

No. I think it bothers you more

If he remembers me at all, it's as something that was broken and then put back together

And he was never really good at fixing things

He did the best he could

I'm tired

You ought be more careful, buddy

Else you're going to turn this into a nightmare

No, you're hurting me

You know I would never do that

I want what's best for you

Stop

Oh, now this is the real deal

Hey, buddy, what are you doing over there?

Come here, they're starting

Ha,ha,ha

Sorry, now I get it. You're part of the act

Oh, I got to see this.

Daddy

Ladies and gentlemen

Be heartlessly welcome,

to Cirque the Morgue

And what a show we have for you tonight

Madam

Mr. Thomas Whitman

A composer and a poet

A bad, bad father

With a bad, bad memory

No, please, don't

No

Don't

Oh, look, this one's about your wife

Just about nothing left of her, I see

Hardly, worth the effort

Memories, it's not like you have any real use for them

We all lose parts of ourselves,

bit by bit by bit

What???

What the hell!! that's not how it turns out

Stop, that's all wrong, total. Change it

You're wrecking it!!!

You, Whoa

Thomas

Yes, sir

Nothing

Bed, now

God dammit

How many digits do these things usually have?

I don't know

Just don't try to break it. It won't work

Mm

We need to get this stupid thing open

Why, Ann?

Cause when Tom locks something away, it's important

He didn't have any money. You guys pissed all of it away

A little bitter, are we?

About having to pay for his care, actually, yes, I am

You did a good thing

You let him stay here, at home, with his memories

Not so bad for somebody who doesn't care about her father

What were my options?

It was either that, or have every goddamn family friend drown me in guilt

Nonsense

This family has pretty well out of friends for at least a decade, sweetheart

I wonder why, what with Tom being so famous for caring about people

Uh

I keep telling you

He cared

Another magic trick

He picks something that he knew he would never forget

What a cliché

What's in there?

"But all I am is smoke and mirrors"

It's about him

There's a shock

"Miracles come in small packages"

"It takes so little to turn a child into the most fortunate being in the world"

Uh

No, stop

Leave me, Let me hate you

Wait, who are you?

Please, Wait!!

So, satisfied now, are we?

Yes.

Because this..,this is what I grew up with,

Scattered pages, songs, words of wisdom fairy tales all around me

You see that thing? His precious arabesque?

His princess.

He said the dancer inside would spin,

if I managed to play the chords right

when I was learning the piano

Look, Gem..

No

His idea of raising me was to feed me these endless pipe dreams

and weird monologues

Because everything was a performance to him

And he did the same thing to my mom.

Strung her along

Kept making and breaking promises.

And she always believed him

Always.

And he always disappointed her

Because you, you came first

And then, she ended up dead because of you

I hope it was worth it

Oh, shit!

Bonjour, mon general

This,

This.. this is how small I was in his magical, musical world

Do you know, he'd written songs for everyone around him?

Maybe even for this little bastard here

But never, never for my mom, or me

Un, deux, trois, quatre

Bonjour, mon general.

You were fortunate to find your way

What's happening?

Where am I?

Why the battlefield, Sir

You've fought in this room for many years

I'm ashamed that I wounded you so grievously, and for nothing

I don't know what you mean

Please, Sir, don't spare my feelings It was a mighty blow I struck

I can only beg for your forgiveness

I stepped on you

I ambushed you

But, Sir, my motives were pure

It was a brave attempt to stop you from going with the accursed snowman

That evil pig

It's the memories, Sir

He takes them.

Takes you further in the darkness

But why?

You got old

Still, you've got the best of him, at least for now

The best memories hurt him

You've chased the very best one

That girl

Yes, your daughter

Ha, ha, ha - What a girl

what a memory. Ah~ c'est magnifique

You remember best through the things you both shared as children

Like myself or the pretty mademoiselle..

..within the glass bubble

Hm, yes, you loved us well, and so did your daughter

I don't remember her

Ah, well

There's nothing to be done then.

C'est la vie

This is as far as we go

No

Sir

I need your help

I need to remember her

I need to find her

Comrad

En avant, marche

You still have memories that were precious to you

You hid them, we know where,

it's not too far

I don't think I have many left

Oh, no

I don't even know who am I anymore

We all take wounds, Sir

Oh, I'm sorry about that

Don't be, Sir. I'm a mere soldier,

just a casualty of war

You could have disposed of us, instead, you hand us on,

and you told your daughter how important we were

Hourra! Hourra!

We have to hurry, Sir

The night your mother had the accident,

if Tom had gotten home earlier,

things might have been different

He was with you, Ann

It's not what you think

uh

Back then, my life was out of control

I'm so crazy, with the band, with everything

Got too much for me.

I took some pills, but I didn't take enough,

Because I woke up And then, when I did, Tom was there.

I didn't plan it that way

I don't want to hear this

He stayed with me,

but he would not look at me,

not after what I had done

I bet that little stunt really screwed with your precious band

No, no. Yeah, it was the end of the band

True, but no. You see, what I'd done was..

Ah~, I don't know, too personal for him

You don't know?

Know what?

Oh, Gem, honey

You don't know that Tom's father killed himself?

Yeah, Theodore Whitman shot himself in the head

And Tom watched it happen

What I did, was hard on him And that night,

your mother had the accident

That's what broke up the band

He didn't care, but he knew he was going to lose you as well

Why are you telling me this?

Because I don't think you know your father at all

He worshiped Theodore in spite of his dark moods

From what Tom told me, he could be really mean

So, when Tom felt himself going down the same path,

he pushed you away

I know,

he pushed very hard

We have arrived, Sir

I remember..

..yes, I locked them away,

they're here

May I say, Sir, it has been a pleasure to serve you, and yours

Halt!

"Miracles come in small packages,

it takes so little to turn a child into

Into the most fortunate being in the world

"It wasn't much of a circus. It was cheap, shabby and rundown.

And she was enchanted by everything she saw,

Laughing and squeezing my hand

The first time I felt like a father, watching her smile.

Why couldn't he just told me this?

He did tell you, in his way. The only way he knew

Oh man, I was always hoping there might be something

that would make it all worthwhile

Not this nonsense

Oh my God

These aren't just scattered thoughts or feelings, look

Mon dieu, a l'attaque

Some of this is complete, but the rest..

..his words stop or just trail off

Gaps, spaces..

"She's a true reflection of her mother,

my broken missing love

So small but as wise and as beautiful as she was

I am proud with love

Now I push her away

She must not share my darkness

I hope she'll understand one day.

So this is where you stashed all the good stuff, huh?

What?

this? I just took a bit of a beating, is all

You should see your little friends

I know what you've been up to..

Congratulations

What did we learn, huh?

Your daddy had his fill of you, took his own life

The songbird tried the same trick

Then there's your little girl, she hates you

Nothing left if you ask me..

It seems like you don't have much left either

I've got one thing.. ..magic

Light brings darkness, what sweet irony

It's your world, your rules

Now I wonder who dreamed that up

And, here it comes

It's like watching your greatest fear come alive

Ann, Ann

Look

That's your dad for you

Yeah, but just look at it. I mean, he did all this by hand

There are spaces, things he didn't finish

He started writing things down,

When he realized that he was losing his mind

So where is the last page?

What was it?

All these fragments, memories,

it's his li..

Oh, great

Hold on, I'll check if it's a fuse

Yep, it's the power. Of course, the phone's dead

I'm going over there

Oh, Goddammit, I can't call a cab

Hey, I got a car

Really, let's go

Sorry, old man

Your daughter is not picking up her phone

Must be the storm

Ah..... ah, No

Not yet, I'm not finished

It's nearly over now

What are you gonna do, outmaneuver me?

You're on a track, you idiot

I know what's down there, and you're not going to like it

I won't let you do this

You won't get that lucky again

E minor

I was right, she did spin

You hurry right in, I'll park the car

Go, I'll be right with you

Got you now. I'm all the future you'll ever have, buddy

No!!

You won't take my life from me again

But I am gonna make what's left of it, a living hell

But why?

Like you don't know, all your music, all your hopes

they're just ruins and blank canvas now

I'm all that you can bring to mind.

You tell me why

I can't help it

You always knew I was poison, you could have chosen her

if you'd cut me down to size

But you built me stronger every year

I had to

..I never wanted to lose the memory of you

I've wiped you clean of useless dreams and memories,

you weak little brat

Dad, please

I'll drag you down with me, you always knew I would

Dad, no

I have to let you go

Daddy

Daddy

Thanks for the ride

Please sleep tight, Princess

I'm here

I'm so sorry

Daddy

He, what you wanted?

Fran....

What?

Francine!!

I'll hope to hear the chords played again one day

Without them I'm lost in this nothingness

Wandering after far off music, through a desert of ashes

If a tune had a colour,

it would be a mixture of pink and red

Constantly afraid of it fading away

Terrified of the silence that may come

My final memories are pulling me,

towards the end of a black alley

There 's a door in the darkness

I struggle, to find my way through the dooru

I can hear it clearly now

The most beautiful melody ever created by man

I enter the room..

..and there, forever remains..

that change from G, to E minor
