"Lucile..."

"My moped can't go uphill any more."

"I have to pedal, it tires me out in no time."

"I must have put on 10kg, I don't know if it's normal."

"I can't get over how the doctor broke the news to me."

"I had a knot in my stomach."

"His talking made me feel dizzy, I had no time to think."

"He was worried I'd try to give myself an abortion

with a knitting needle."

"He said I could give the child up at birth,

that there were laws to protect me."

"Fortunately, my boss asked no questions,

but I'll have to disappear for a while, to give birth."

"I don't know where to go."

"It's awful, now you live in Lyon, I have no one to talk to."

"It feels strange, telling you the story by letter."

"Just as well I have the embroidery."

"I'm still swapping my parents' cabbages for rabbit skins."

"I hope the farmer won't let on,

because if they find out, they'll kill me."

EMBROIDERERS

Clotilde!

Could you bring me some celeriac salad, please?

What? I'm not paid to serve till operators.

Get off your arse, it will do you good!

You're late, you'll get a roasting.

Yes, all right!

- Well, I never, it's too small! - Maybe you should start dieting.

It's not possible, it can't be mine!

You eat far too much!

You'll end up looking like Josiane, at this rate.

Yes, you've put on lots of weight. Did you nick her overalls?

Leave me alone, I have cancer.

Ever heard of cortisone and radiotherapy?

I'm here because...

I'd like to have a sick note.

I'm tired, at the moment.

What's making you tired?

I work a lot.

And I'm several months pregnant.

I thought that was the case,

but I saw you come here on your moped.

And you know that this is not at all recommended.

I can't help, I live a long way away.

All the more reason.

Any general practitioner can give you a sick note.

- Is there not one any nearer? - Yes.

I'm not going to keep the baby.

Are you going to give birth anonymously?

What does it mean?

You want to give it up for adoption, is that it?

Er...

Yes.

So, you'll give birth anonymously.

Could you really not try and keep this child?

Are you going to give me a sick note or not?

Yes, I will, but while you're here,

we'll also make sure everything's fine.

Are you going to get undressed?

It's quite useful to know when your baby's due.

What do I keep on?

You're fine like this.

Come and lie down.

What is this?

The heart.

The heart...

Of the baby?

Yes.

There...

His head's down.

Perfect...

This is his abdomen.

The liver...

I don't want to give birth in Angoulême.

You're free to give birth wherever you want.

You can't be turned down, and it's free of charge.

At the hospital,

everything can be anonymous and free.

I won't go to the hospital, anybody could see me.

Is there anything else I should know?

I don't really know what you want to find out.

If it's a mongol, can I still have an abortion?

From what I just saw, it's a beautiful baby.

Here, wipe your tummy.

I think it's closer five and a half months than five.

Would you like to know the baby's sex?

Did you see it?

Yes.

Could you write it down on a piece of paper?

Why didn't you tell me you were ill?

Because I'm not ill.

It's not Aids, at least?

Aids doesn't tend to make you fatter.

What's the matter, then?

I'm pregnant.

It wasn't me, was it?

Are you going to have an abortion? Do you want money?

If I was free, I'd offer you better,

but as it is, I can't.

I never want to see you again.

I don't want to see you, any more.

What are you doing here?

I came to see you.

- On your bike? - Yeah...

Come up, then, hurry up.

- You've put weight on. - Mind your own business.

- Well? - It's the parents.

They've been arguing.

Dad's not repaired the forage harvester.

- I had to feed the cows by hand. - And?

I had an essay to write, I got a nought.

Take your clothes off or you're going to be ill.

- It's freezing, round here. - I can't put the heating on, yet.

It's always cold, anyway.

I want to stay here.

I don't care what you want, bugger off!

I'm fine on my own.

I'd like to have some peace, for once.

What's up with you, are you on?

Wanker!

Come on, I promise I won't be a pain.

I'll even do the washing up.

- Hello? - Mum, it's Claire.

- Ah... - Thomas's with me.

- He's at Claire's. - He's spending the night here.

He's not got his school bag, he'll be told off.

I'll explain to the teacher but stop bugging him.

If it wasn't for the missing cabbages,

I wouldn't know if you're alive or not, so don't lecture me.

Just as well Tom's with you, or I wouldn't have had any news.

- I have other things to do. - Is this how you talk to me?

It's not my fault, you shouldn't have rung.

Something always stops me moving forward.

We're going to see the cousins.

We'll have a great time.

Hey, Claire, writing to your boyfriend?

Leave me alone!

What, not your boyfriend?

- Go away. - You only have to say, I'm game.

Wanting to dip your wick, are you?

So what? It wouldn't hurt anyone.

It would hurt me.

I'd like you To call me more often

I'd like you to make The first move

And I'd like you to remember

Our love story is eternal And not artificial

I'd like you to be the one

"My dear dear Claire,

sorry to write on this paper, I have nothing else on me."

"Your letter gave me a shock."

"I'll be in Angoulême with my brother, this weekend,

come and stay with us."

"You didn't mention anyone, who's the dad?"

Come in!

Hello.

- I've come to see Lucile. - She's upstairs.

Go up, if you want.

Are you making chips?

No, it's for bait.

I've never seen anyone peeling potatoes for fish.

Say something!

Your son resigns after one year, and you think it's fine?

I'm not saying it's good, but he's made a decision.

It's not a decision, it's surrender!

- What are you doing? - I'm fed up, I'm going out.

What's the matter?

Guillaume's without a job.

What planet are you on?

He wouldn't be the first to live from fishing and hunting.

Does it show?

It doesn't, no.

Did you dodge your parents?

Yes, I came in the back door.

- What's up with your brother? - His face?

- Well, yes. - Where have you been?

He had an accident with Ishran Mélikian.

Has he?

I knew the Mélikian son had died, but...

Did Guillaume hit him?

They were on the same motorbike, they skidded.

Guillaume feels responsible

because when he came to after the accident,

Ishran was still alive, though he was bleeding a lot.

He ran 4km to get help.

They arrived too late.

At the hospital,

Ishran's mum was screaming madly, next to Guillaume's room.

Then she calmed down, and she never said any more.

Now, he's trying to go abroad.

Did you not use a Johnny?

- Yes. - Well, then?

Do you want a picture?

I don't understand.

I think he left too much air in the rubber.

Did it blow up?

Yes, like a balloon.

Inside you?

I didn't feel it, it was torn, afterwards.

I waited for my period to start, and it did.

- No! - Yes.

In fact, it wasn't a real period, just bleeding,

when the embryo attached itself.

In my case, it happened on the right day.

After that, nothing.

I didn't have sex either, so I didn't care.

How long is it, four, five months?

What difference does it make?

Can I turn the light off?

- Will you see the baby at all? - I don't know.

- Can I see your tummy? - There's nothing to see.

Thank you.

- Won't you help me? - I'm going to wash.

What a pain! I know he's grieving,

but it's no reason to send us all packing.

He wants to go abroad.

He had this fantastic girlfriend...

He just dumped her. Same with the job.

I'm sick of constantly having to put up with everyone's bad mood.

What about you, how's the embroidery going?

When you have a passion, you have to follow it through.

- Have you been to the windmill? - I went last year.

Go again, now she's lost her son.

Yes.

You've been training, since then.

Ask Guillaume.

He could go and see Mrs Mélikian.

Introduce her to someone to replace her deceased son?

For all you know, she needs someone, so why not?

Come and help me.

With this? I'm not touching it, it's gruesome.

- Crack the walnuts, then! - I don't mind that.

I messed it up!

I'm trying to keep them whole, like this, look.

It's strange, it's so perfect.

Maybe it means something.

Maybe we'll find out, one day,

when we've spent two millenniums in the walnut civilisation.

Mine's rotten.

RING THE BELL

I'm sorry to disturb you.

I'm Claire Moutiers.

Maybe you remember me, I came last year.

I was looking for work.

I'm still looking.

Would you like to see my work?

- Do you do machine embroidery? - Yes.

Any qualifications?

No.

I have an order to complete, two to three weeks work.

It would suit me fine.

Come round tomorrow, on trial.

If I'm suitable, would it be OK not to declare me?

9 o'clock tomorrow.

All right.

Thank you.

It's for table linen, following this pattern.

Adjust the height of the hook.

- Claire? - Yes.

It's Lucile.

You don't sound too good.

Did Mrs Mélikian give you a job?

Yes.

What about the supermarket?

I have a ten-day sick note.

And after that?

I don't know.

By then, I'll know how it's going with Mrs Mélikian.

I'd rather pick cabbages forever than go back there.

There won't be any left, by Christmas.

I won't be able to work any more, by then.

It's really beautiful.

Who is it for?

Mr Lesage.

Do you often do this kind of work?

Only for fashion shows.

I worked for him for 12 years, he still sends me work.

Did you meet famous fashion designers?

A few times.

- I've worked a lot for Lacroix. - Did you meet him?

I knew his assistant very well.

He often got inspiration from my samples.

It's 6 o'clock, is it all right if I go?

Yes, if it's time.

I don't know where you put my coat.

Upstairs. Come with me, you'll go out the main door.

- I had an envelope, in my pocket. - Are you sure?

Go back down, maybe it fell in the stairs.

May I look at your work on the frame?

Finish packing, first.

It's great, what you're doing for Claire.

Yes...

It's so hard to find work, these days.

So when you have health problems, on top of that...

My daughter went to school with her, so I know.

Except she can't find a job.

Thank you.

Bye.

Are you all right?

Er, yes.

In fact, we always say yes.

Thank you for trusting me.

I spoke to Guillaume Lescuyer on the phone.

Did you?

He was full of praise about you.

I doubt it, he hardly knows me.

Maybe that's why.

He's coming to pick up Ishran's motorbike.

When?

I don't know.

Your hair is really beautiful.

It's a shame to hide it all the time.

Are you Claire Moutiers?

Going to see Mrs Mélikian?

Yes.

She's left something for you.

- Has she left? - She doesn't want any visitors.

Why don't you want to see me?

Are you cross because I called an ambulance?

Would you have preferred me to be too late?

What's all this money for?

My redundancy money? I don't earn this much in a month.

Please, Claire.

I paid you as I paid my son.

But I'm not your son.

Come in.

What have they put on your teeth?

It's charcoal.

Why do you bear a grudge against me, Claire?

Can't you understand I didn't want to be seen

in this state?

You're not a child, any more.

As for the money, it's a normal salary.

It's a good thing, if it's more than you'd normally earn.

It's not in your interest to tell me.

As for the fact you found me in the workshop,

I didn't expect to have to justify myself.

Hello, Mrs Mélikian!

Would you mind leaving us to it, please?

I'd brought you some cakes.

Isn't she nice? This will do you good.

I'll come back tomorrow.

Here.

No, don't, it's too far.

- I have your keys. - Hang on to them.

Here, this should relax you, a bit.

All right, then...

See you tomorrow.

You shouldn't come back, it's no fun at all.

I don't come here for fun.

Are you feeling better?

- Is it for me? - I thought you'd be pleased.

I came here with Guillaume Lescuyer.

Would you like to see him?

I'll get changed, first.

I wanted to ask you if Ishran had a girlfriend.

Yes, but nothing serious.

You could make an effort and come back tomorrow.

I can't, I don't know what to say to her.

I'm all on my own with her.

- Who was Ishran's girlfriend? - He didn't have one.

Like you, then?

Did Lucile tell you that?

Is that all girls talk about?

What about you, who's your bloke?

I don't have one.

I just thought...

- You thought what? - Nothing.

Who did you think it was?

I don't know, I didn't mean anything.

Do you want to have lunch with us?

No.

Drop me off at Mrs Mélikian's.

I'll give you a ring about the bike.

- Bye-bye, Mrs Moutiers. - See you tomorrow.

And now, the weather forecast.

A sunny day in Poitou-Charente, with a few clouds this afternoon.

It will be quite windy,

11 degrees in Niort, and 16 in Rochefort.

An overturned lorry is blocking the 149 road,

a few kilometres before Partenay.

Drive carefully and not too fast.

Mind the flowers!

It's strange, her key's not here.

Come on, let's go back to dad.

I'd like to go back home.

I have to send the veil to Mr Lesage.

Why do you visit me, Claire?

If it's to show me you're pregnant, I'd noticed.

I'm going to give birth anonymously,

I can't go back to my old job.

Cuckoos lay their eggs in other birds' nests.

But you're not a cuckoo.

Did it not bother you to commit suicide and to let me down?

We've worked together for less than two weeks.

You can't rely on me like this.

What about your parents?

I didn't expect to see you again.

I've done something wrong.

I wanted to finish it.

And?

I tore it.

It wasn't very clever.

I know.

The worst thing is we can mend it.

Bye, see you tomorrow.

I was waiting for you.

- Come in. - Won't you give me a kiss?

What was the ambulance for?

I was with Mrs Mélikian.

I've just been to the supermarket.

Have you? Who did you see?

Lydie.

She said you went on sick leave.

I did, but I'm not ill.

You never went back.

The Morel girl's got your job.

Lydie looked a bit shocked I didn't know about it.

I have a job at Mrs Mélikian's.

I didn't want to lose my job at the supermarket.

Well, you have.

Has she taken you on as an embroiderer?

Not as a cleaning lady.

- Are you pleased? - Of course, I am.

You don't look it.

You should have told us about it.

What?

Nothing.

I saw the ambulance, the other day.

- Is the Moutiers girl better? - She's fine.

Are you sure no one knows, apart from me?

- Yes, why? - Because everyone's worried

about your health.

Because I said it was the cortisone which made me put on weight.

The cortisone?

I said I had cancer.

That's why I wear a headscarf.

And what are you going to say, now?

That they got it wrong.

That it wasn't a malignant tumour.

You've got some nerve!

Come and make some dolmas with me.

Wait!

It's for you.

For me?

It's splendid.

Did you make it yourself?

Well, yes.

Normally, I use curly kale, but your cabbage is good too.

It's puckering.

It's the tacking thread.

Come and lie down next door.

It's crazy to machine stitch in your condition.

We'll stop, no point in being stubborn.

I need to think, and you need to sleep.

- Does a doctor look after you? - Yes!

If I keep it, it will be taken away from me.

- It will be put into care. - Of course, not.

Right now, you're the one who wants to give it up.

You have three months to think about it.

Let time pass, look after yourself.

Do you want to sleep here?

No, I'm feeling better.

I'd rather go back home.

- Well... - What?

No, nothing.

Go on, tell me.

Will you be all right until tomorrow?

Stop worrying about me, now.

Don't come back before Monday.

Thomas!

- What are you dressed up as? - As a pumpkin.

Because of my hair, they all wanted me to be a pumpkin.

Why are you wearing a black cape?

Mum didn't have time to repair a hole at the back.

You should have asked me to do it.

Last time, you sent me packing.

Claire, is it true, you have cancer?

Who told you this nonsense?

Er, I don't know, some boys at school.

You believed them?

They say your hair's falling out.

I would have told you.

Come on, pull on it if you want.

When is your parade?

I don't know, after the choir.

Jump in, I'll repair your outfit.

Are you mad? I'm first on.

We'll be back in ten minutes, and you'll look a lot better.

I couldn't sleep, at mine, because of the music.

Where were you?

In Paris.

In Paris, just for the day?

I've got us some work, a dress for Lacroix.

- Never! - Yes.

I'm going to declare you on this order.

It will lower your wages, a bit.

He's kept your shawl.

- I made it for you. - He'll give it back, don't worry.

Not everyone gets their first sample

noticed by Lacroix.

Do you hate this child?

No.

During the day, he goes in, he's hiding.

My tummy hardly shows.

When I'm on my own, he comes out again,

he makes himself comfortable,

my tummy looks enormous.

Incredible, isn't it?

when Ishran was born, I started writing a diary for him.

I went through difficult times too.

I wrote everything down.

It made me feel better.

I was going to give it to him when he had his first child.

I thought that before then, he couldn't understand it all.

I found something new to write every day.

Is Mrs Mélikian in?

Where else would she be?

Have you changed something?

Where?

- I don't know, your hair? - No, not at all.

- Why are you here? - For the motorbike.

You said you'd ring.

Hello, Guillaume.

- I've come for the motorbike. - It's outside.

It would really help me

if you gave me a hand carrying this machine to Ishran's bedroom.

Let me give you a hand.

I don't think I asked you anything.

Stay where you are, Claire.

Don't worry, we'll manage.

Ah, it's a lot better, in there.

Imagine that, we have to finish it all by tomorrow.

Aren't you going to manage?

We'll work all night if necessary, but it will be done tomorrow.

May I have a look?

Well, then, I'll go and get the bike.

I'm coming with you.

Lucile got in to do Political Science.

Will you come and celebrate with us?

I don't know.

I'm going away as well.

Really?

- How long are you going for? - At least three years.

Will you come round, then?

Yes, I'll come.

Come along with Claire, we'll be pleased to see you.

Is your offer still on?

What offer?

You're not serious!

What do you take me for?

When I was six months pregnant,

I remember having terrible cravings.

I don't.

Dad, will you please stop this?

- Just as miserable as your mother. - It's my exam, we're celebrating.

It's the same thing every Sunday.

- Come on, here, Mrs Mélikian! - Thank you.

Here, Guillaume.

After Political Science, straight to ENA.

Cheers, darling.

You'll wear a suit every day, with ladders in your tights.

I'm not an artist.

Having a real passion is a blessing.

You're all right, now.

Do you miss the supermarket?

- Not likely. - We make a good team.

Whatever happens to us now, we're strong.

I won't give up, any more.

I don't get why you still go to church every Sunday.

You have no idea how much goes on at church.

By the way, do you know the one

- about the diving priest? - No, not again!

Your face is a lot better.

Who would like some coffee?

Coffee, herbal tea?

A small coffee, please.

No, thank you, I'm sulking.

He's not talking to us.

He's a bit unpredictable, at the moment.

Leave the poor boy alone.

Why did you do that?

It's a female, she's full of eggs.

I'm full of eggs too.

In three days, I'll be gone.

I know.

What are you scared of?

Of touching it.

I'm going to tell my mother.

There's no point telling her, if you don't keep the child.

I'm going to keep her.

It's a girl.

Come along, I'm taking you Out in the wind

I'm taking you above people

And I would like you To remember

Our love story Eternal, not artificial

I'd like you to come back

I'd like you to be here From time to time

And I would like you To remember

Our love story Eternal, not artificial

I would like you To call me more often

I'd like you to make The first move

And I would like you To remember

Our love is eternal Not artificial

I would like you to be The one I can hear

Come on, I'm taking you Above the people

And I would like you To remember

Our eternal love story Artificial

I would like you to come back

I'd like you to be here From time to time

I'd like you to remember

Our love story Eternal, not artificial

I'd like you to come back

I'd like you to be here From time to time

I'd like you to remember

Our love story Eternal, not artificial
