Fabrice!

Where is your lieutenant?

Fabrice!

Take your boys, let's go up.

- We do not attack at 8 o'clock? - We're not going to wait, we're out.

The 75 throw too short. Be ready.

Wait, Georges.

Put on the masks!

Let's go up

Come on.

Jean!

Shit! Jean!

- Georges! - Jean!

- Oh my God! I believed you down here. - I was at the aid station.

How many boys do you have? - Now I do not know.

Bring your section, we go out.

- Your hand! - It's okay.

- Go get them healed. - I'm fine.

Go, you're not in condition!

Do not go up without me, George. Not without me, wait for the sunrise.

- Lieutenant! - I'm going.

In 7 minutes. See you later, little brother.

We climb boys!

Fuck Petain!

Fuck Nivelle! Fuck Foch!

What a fuck Petain! Fuck Nivelle!

Stop doing stupid things. Take it easy!

Fuck Foch! Fuck France!

Mougeolles, fuck!

- Shit! - Whore mother!

Raulic 75, be careful where you put your feet.

Do not worry, my captain, my time has not yet arrived.

Raulic!

Raulic!

STOP THE FIRE

Good day.

Marcel.

Mrs. Vial. You know?

I'm used to it, there's no problem.

Good day, Marcel.

M-A-R-C-E-L

My name is Hélène. H-E-L-E-N-E

I'm here to talk with you.

If you do not look at me, it's going to be difficult.

What is he looking at?

There is nothing to look on the street.

He went. You are happy?

Idiot!

Hi.

Do you prefer it that way?

Me on the street and you behind the window.

It's a good idea, so you have something to look at.

Agree?

Do we continue? My name is Hélène.

HONOR TO THE INVALID

Do not stay there, mate. You have to move.

Look, dance with this young lady. She gives you the cadence.

- As it is called? - Madeleine.

- How? - Madeleine.

Madeleine, nice name. Madeleine

Madeleine

The handsome boy is Marcel.

Madeleine and Marcel! To the track!

Dance!

The cadence!

It's okay like that.

What do you think?

Come, pretty.

Mutilated priority.

What happens?

What did you lose with the Germans? Your eggs?

Motherfucker!

It stings a little but it smells good.

Have, for the emotions.

- Marcel! - There they are, Philippe.

- How's the big guy? - It's okay.

You're in good hands. Come on.

You can go back, the idiot was kicked out. Come on!

Come on, do not let yourself be bothered by a scoundrel. Come.

There you are!

I already had that pensive air.

I know it?

Philippe?

And the?

No, do not think about that anymore. It will not make them return.

It's pretty, is not it?

Pretty.

I can die tomorrow.

Die.

Me, die.

How will you do alone?

Georges? Is Georges going to take care of you?

Do you have news of him?

Upper Volta, 1923

We are not in Bobo or in a month.

Diougani's blacksmith will fix it.

Will someone who never saw an engine repair me?

Invokes his ancestors.

Spirits of the heavens.

Spirits of the earth.

Invisible spirits

Your...

I feel anger in you.

I see shadows that fight in your heart.

Baby,

You will have a good trip.

I hope you endure.

You had to drink the blood of the rooster, my captain.

- Leave, I already do. - I'm done, my captain.

How was Timbuktu?

Hot... very hot.

Did you hear my impromptu?

I practiced it for you.

Thank you.

It looks nice with its basin.

Know what?

We are going back to France, definitely.

Dad is going to start a business selling radio sets.

- He says it's the future. - You are happy?

Angèle?

Do you plan to stay here all your life?

I like it here.

My father says it's a waste. You need people like you in France.

- For what? - To participate in the progress.

- What progress? - The one of humanity.

Angèle?

I think they're looking for you.

- I look ugly, is that it? - What?

He thinks I do not realize.

Nothing moves him, nor Schubert, nor great ideas, nothing.

Angèle!

You are the most beautiful girl in Bobo.

Yes, stay in your seedy well.

Listen to me!

Listen well! Everything I am going to say

It is true.

Helmet Adrian.

Bayonet!

I, the one who speaks to you,

at the battle of Verdun, I skewered two Germans,

in one fell swoop, like two fat chickens.

What I saw, not even God saw it.

The Lebel rifle of Captain Laffont.

The victory rifle.

Attack of the level 154 by the brave Captain Laffont!

Cross war, Legion of Honor, five citations,

military medal

For France, we came under fire.

It crawls, it crawls...

he lies down.

Pomegranate!

The Eiffel Tower.

The Eiffel Tower is magical. Nobody can against Diofo.

It moves between bullets and grenades.

So it was me who captured Douaumont? - It's the true truth.

If you continue like this I will have captured the Kaiser.

Very good idea, my captain!

Tell what you want but do not shoot with the Lebel.

- People like it. - Do not take it out of the trunk.

You will avoid spending a cartridge.

A rifle is made to fire, my captain.

I do not want to see him again. You understand?

What do they want?

They are Dozos. They are against recruitment.

They say you release the villagers.

You are the boss?

I'm not a recruiting agent. I do not work for the French.

Those villagers were not recruited. They are volunteers

To go to work in the cocoa plantations.

Wait. Volunteers.

They are going to earn money.

He does not believe you, he says that you take them to build the railroad.

Can not you see we're going to the Gold Coast? The railroad is for there.

Wait!

Go back up! We continue!

Diofo, stop this circus!

He says they will be eaten in the night if they pass with you.

- Come back to town. - On the contrary, imbecile!

Coming with me prevents recruitment.

Enough! Make them go up if we do not arrive before nightfall.

Do you want to kill me with that blunderbuss?

Do you want to shoot? Come on.

Shoot.

Squeeze

- Diofo! - Come, my captain!

What do you do? Where do you think you are?

- I show you how it's done. - Untie it.

With this,

Captain Laffont killed more Germans

that you, Chief Dozo, will kill antelopes throughout your life.

The mask of victory.

An incredible magic!

Captain Laffont commands his battalion.

The battle of Verdun.

The Queen...

that made a tiger to Captain Laffont.

The soldier who killed the most enemies...

in the war of 14.

Great spirit.

Sanem and Contron!

Great Spirit capable of doing great things,

Two laymen want to enter your brotherhood.

Here is the water...

to ask you the way...

and that you authorize us...

to accept them among us.

I thank you

It's okay.

All the Dozos are brothers.

All Dozos without exception.

You must be brothers.

- Could they be? - Yes, we can.

- Will they be able to comply with these rules? - Yes, we can.

- Respect them? - Yes, we can.

Are not we better than in the truck?

In the truck I was not afraid of Mamiwata.

Mamiwata? The siren that's going to grab you by the feet?

What have you said?

Misfortune and happiness fit into one living person.

The Tukulores say that.

I salute the flag!

Do you know what is the difference between us?

There are many, my captain.

There is one above all, the bugle.

I will never stand firm again.

Rest well.

- I look good? - Very good.

Boss,

That is the mask of Captain Laffont.

It is the mask of victory.

Can we exchange it for one of its masks?

I think so.

It's possible?

Diofo,

Tell him my son Seydou was killed in the war with a rifle.

His spirit appears to me at night on the water's edge.

I would like to be at peace with him.

The old man says that his son Seydou was swallowed by the war of the whites.

At night he sees his spirit at the edge of the river.

It says: "Captain Laffont, you who command the soldiers,

tell him to make peace with me because it was me who gave it to France.

Tell him that Captain Laffont does not command the spirits.

Captain Laffont met Seydou,

He was a good soldier. He got the medal.

He will tell Seydou to make peace with his father.

It's okay.

For France, let's go to combat.

Diofo runs, Diofo is not afraid! Run around the bullets!

Me, Diofo, I'm not afraid.

This is the Eiffel Tower.

See this piece of iron?

Whoever touches it...

will have the power!

Wait. 6 for 9?

- 3. 4. - 6 for 9.

- 3. 4. - No, 54.

Start again

My captain!

My captain!

My captain!

My captain!

Diofo!

Diofo!

My captain.

- What's wrong? - My Eiffel Tower, my captain.

Who did this to you?

Shit!

My Eiffel Tower.

- Hold on to me, I'll take you. - My Eiffel Tower...

Diofo! Stay with me!

Look me in the eye, Diofo!

It's war, my captain.

It's the war that comes looking for me.

Diofo!

It was a small ship...

It was a small ship...

that I had never sailed,

I had never sailed...

TO...

B...

C...

AND...

AND...

F...

Albert!

M...

OR...

Albert!

OR...

- Excuse me. - It does not bother, ma'am.

- Say goodbye. - Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Cat.

The mouse is afraid of the cat.

The cat is afraid... the dog.

Yes, the dog is afraid of the wolf.

The wolf...

He is afraid of him...

to the man.

Man, yes. And the man he is afraid of?

Is not man afraid? Yes? Of everything, of nothing?

Women's?

Of the mice?

It's me.

Good day.

I leave you.

Marcel.

What happens? Do I look like a ghost?

Georges!

Shit!

Mom!

Mom! Mom... are you okay?

Idiot!

You are not very talkative.

Four years are not counted like this.

When you came back with permission, you said the same thing.

I just arrived.

Well, I'm interested.

Please.

How do I change. He got fat

If it were just that.

Did not they say he was going to come back?

That it was a matter of a time, a few months.

- What does Gagneux say? - Nothing.

Neurologists do not know either.

What do you do during the day?

Go with Philippe, if he does not stay up.

Luckily you have the classes. And Madeleine.

- Is serious? - A lot.

- What kind is it? - A good woman, very simple.

Very good.

It's not going so bad, then.

Two months ago he was rescued from the Loire.

In the middle of the night.

This is for you.

Today is San Jorge.

Your father would have liked it.

Thank you.

The millet barns.

My truck

A party.

My ship... in the Volta.

He is Diofo.

And you? You do not have photos?

A portrait of your girlfriend. Madeleine

Do not? You do not have photos?

It seems that it is pretty.

Pretty.

When are you going to present it to me?

Present it...

to me. When?

Miss!

- I can talk to you? - Excuse me, wait for me.

I wanted to tell you that...

his classes are very good but Marcel is not going to continue like this.

- Sorry? - He's going to recover speech,

- it's just a matter of time. - Oh yeah?

Of course. It is a psychic block.

I assure you that my brother will talk again.

- Y? - The language of the dumb is not the best.

- Do not? - He keeps him in his illness.

- Do you want me to suspend the classes? - Would be the best.

- Mrs. Laffont is aware? - I will tell.

- And Marcel? - I'll explain it to you.

It is his mother who employs me and to whom I give an account.

If it's a matter of money, I'll pay for all your classes.

How unbearable it is.

- Listen, miss. - Mrs. Goodbye.

Your brother went black in that Center for psychoneurotics.

It was more to detect simulators than to cure sick people.

Also, nobody was ever cured.

The proof is that there are a few like him.

Blind, paralyzed...

chronic tremors...

Completely shattered by horror.

Can not recover?

That... it's a lottery.

12/8

And you?

Nightmares, depressive thoughts, phobias?

Do not.

That is recent.

One month.

What happened?

Nothing... an accident.

With a knife.

Who sewed you? It was very messy.

Do not make efforts.

Ask your mother to work less for her association. For your heart.

- What association? - Relatives of the disappeared.

Maybe I'll listen to you.

Take your brother as he is.

- There's nothing to do? - The important thing is that he is alive.

Nothing is worth more than life, dear George.

- Beware. - Goodbye doctor.

What do you do?

I am writing to the Ministry.

They want to stop the identifications.

For Weygan we have to love the unknown soldier as if he were our son.

What an imbecile.

Who came up with the classes...?

It was the doctor.

With that you will not find work.

- However it does him good. - Are you going to take classes, too?

I already started Madeleine too.

Madeleine...

- He does not seem very attracted. - She's the girl she needs.

Patient and sincere.

And it is realistic.

- Also receive a pension. - Ideal.

- Why did not you give your news? - I gave you.

Three postcards Do not you think I'm caught up with a missing person?

There you can not see the time passing.

Sure, it's not like me with your brother.

- Have we already begun with the reproaches? - It's what happened.

- Do you want me to go again? - You can not tell you anything.

- What are you thinking to do? - Find a job, of course.

- Where? - In Paris, it does not matter where.

Where they need engineers.

And your brother?

Are not you supposed to get married?

20, 21, 22, 23, 24... hours.

A day...

memorable.

A journey that will never be forgotten in the history of the automobile.

Do you know how to drive?

Do not feel like learning? I'm sure I could.

I'm going to learn to drive.

Yes, I will learn.

Do you think that women are incapable of learning to drive?

Of course.

Women are going to drive and one day until 24 hours

of Le Mans.

And they will win.

First...

circuit...

High...

performance.

- Where does all this come from? - From the Boni region.

The Buabas do not easily deliver their ornaments.

- He bought them? - I exchanged them.

- Against what? - For other masks.

- What type? - More expensive.

- Do you have others? - Do not.

Will not he go back there?

The Kara-Wemba. The mother who is honored, great.

Last night I fought again.

- You can sleep? - I have nocturnal ghosts.

It is always our wives who have to endure it.

Shit, sorry.

It's okay, a long time ago.

Where is?

Well, let's see...

Here...

I work in the red zone. It is total destruction.

120 thousand hectares to be rehabilitated. It is endless.

I have three concessions, here, here and here.

Full of garbage, ammunition, weapons, scrap ..

It was tremendous what we threw ourselves over.

There are thousands of tons of lead pellets.

What is the task?

Removal of the shells, decontamination, cleaning and leveling.

We remove the biggest and recover the metals.

- That is not my speciality. - I do not care.

I'm looking for an organizer, a boss.

I have 500 workers.

Asians, Algerians, Senegalese, Italians...

I'm not in good health

- And the bodies? - The bodies?

The corpses. There are 400,000 missing.

The exhumation has already been done.

There should be more.

Did you know anything about Jean?

Does not it bother you to make money with this?

Do you want to leave it to those who did not fight?

To those who got rich while we fought.

No, Georges.

That place is ours. Where we live.

It's where we live, believe me.

Do you want my license plate?

Do you want to see my mentions?

I am talking to you.

I'll wait for you outside, idiot.

That girl is going to kill me!

Labadou, the king of the exhumation.

50 francs per body. Unearth 60,000, do the calculation.

And what do we care? Come dance, it's a fox-trot, it's easy.

Come on, Georges! Come to dance!

Come, Georges!

Georges?

Are you there!

Should not.

Soldier!

Firm!

Are you looking for me?

- You're good? - Yes

Do you want to see my medals?

- Can not you stand up? - Sons of bitches!

Moron!

Above!

Leave it alone.

Go home.

- I skewered a dozen like you! - Go away.

- Look how I shake! - A dozen.

Go back to your trench.

Georges

Stop Georges!

Georges!

Get out of here!

Stop, Georges! Stop!

Check it out!

Did you get rich?

It's beautiful, is not it?

Shall we go around? A walk through the countryside.

You and I. Are we going for a walk?

Let's go to Saint-Aubin.

It's cute, we have time.

Did you get the job?

No, but I have others in sight.

What was he doing in Africa?

A bit of everything.

Crayfish

Crab.

How is it done?

They are... under... the stones.

This?

Of the three brothers which was the best?

Better, the strongest.

Oh, yes, Georges.

How was his father?

Strong.

It was big?

Severe? Straight?

With our father we had to always be up to the task.

It was his expression, "to measure up".

It's full, come.

Come.

Hardheaded.

Do not come near me, I do not like them.

- It's harmless. - I do not like.

Look at it He is waving her with his legs.

I do not like it, do not do it!

- It bit? - Motherfucker!

It makes you laugh?

Thanks for your letter.

Change of opinion?

How does Georges do?

Georges...

It is the sign of his name.

- What does it mean? - The apparition, the ghost.

It happened to Marcel.

- Do you know Madeleine? - I give him classes.

Marcel does not present it to me. Is it a monster?

Not at all.

Do you think you can make it happy?

In any case, learn to talk to him. It's a good start.

Would you teach me too?

It's up to you.

- Softly. - I am sorry.

A) Yes.

- Where it is? - From Lyon.

- What brought you here? - My husband.

But we are separated. Are these the marches?

Down.

I think I'm going to love it.

Are not you afraid?

The news, the quotation of the stock exchange,

the results of the races, the concerts,

Four radios dancing per week and all that for free.

When buying the receiver, of course.

We must add the Eiffel Tower as an argument.

The station at the tip of the Eiffel Tower, very important.

- I can enter? - Do not.

It has great effect in the provinces, they buy it just for that.

I told him we would return.

Leave us, please.

Do not tell me he came back for her.

- Does not Europe dislike you more? - We'll see that.

Will he be more talkative with the clientele?

I promise you.

It is a pity that he did not bring Diofo, he would have been very successful.

He will not spend his life selling receivers.

It suits me.

Not for a man like you. We will talk again.

Stay for lunch.

Congratulations.

This I know how to do it.

I had a canoe.

- A canoe? - Yes

Canoe.

Miss it?

Yes.

Why did he come back, then?

I had nothing else to do there.

Do we put the roof?

Will not it help me?

Where the sun...

the sun of the mountain...

proud, shine

It is a small valley,

foaming

the sun's rays.

A young soldier,

with an open mouth...

- It is funny? - Do not.

I wonder how he is going to do "two red holes in the right side"

Hole... red...

law.

Where did you learn?

In Bar-Le-Duc during the war.

With a man without a mouth.

What was he doing with a man without a mouth?

I was a nurse.

My husband's pension just gives me that job.

What would you do if not all day?

Thank you.

That's how I met him.

I sewed his gallons of medical commander.

We got married very quickly, intimately.

His parents did not agree.

It was a military marriage with permission.

Very happy and very short.

We just met.

I also did not want children. Not before the war ends.

- Sorry to receive it like that. - It's my fault, on the contrary.

I'm excited to have met him.

Did you tell him about me?

Especially his mother.

In addition, Marcel always has a picture of you with him,

of the two, I think in high school.

It's good of him. Secret, sensitive.

It's what I like about him.

I understand Marcel.

With or without the signs, I understand it.

That is what unites us.

This was Jeannot's.

I would burn all this.

Look.

You will touch it

Why do not you ask?

I'm with you.

You do not want?

I am going...

with you. I...

with you. And you...

you ask him...

his hand.

You do not need to learn the signs.

Would not you like to go with me to Africa?

You just arrived from there.

Here is everything very small.

I do not get used to it.

- I sleep badly. - Because of me?

What would I do in Africa?

You will see things that you have no idea about.

And your brother?

Soon he will be married.

I am also married.

You divorce. Do you still want it?

We have the right to be a little selfish.

Will you also be selfish with me?

We will both be selfish.

The colonies are made for that.

I hardly know you.

Marcel.

Marcel!

Shit!

Marcel!

Marcel! I do not understand. Explain me!

What's wrong? Tell me. And Madeleine?

Answer to me!

What are you doing here?

What happened to your husband? What happened to you?

Do not you want to tell me?

We got married in 1914.

He left in 1916.

It was the beginning of the end.

When I returned from leave it was as if...

I had a grudge to be here, in the rear.

I do not know what he imagined.

So I wanted to approach him,

in the front, to the hospital of Bar-Le-Duc.

It was complicated to see us...

and when we saw each other...

I did not recognize it. He was not interested in anything, not me.

I did not know what to do and the armistice came.

- And you left it. - Do not.

We resume life together.

But it was not the same as before and you left it.

It became a hell.

- Are not you interested in knowing how it goes? - I know how it goes.

What's wrong?

Do you know what hell is like?

Georges!

How should we have returned? In a good mood, smiling?

As if we were returning from a field trip?

I know very well what they lived. I saw it closely.

What did you see? Were you in the trenches?

It was there that everything happened, in the first line.

With feet in the shit and carrion.

Under the fire of howitzers, 20, 30, 50 per minute.

For hours, days, until we did not know who we were.

With terrified guys that had to be tied up.

And this... this...

Do you want to know how it was? A maxillary splinter!

I extracted the teeth of a fellow that was pulverized.

- I was covered with your brains. - Do not follow.

Do you have any idea what it feels like? You're talking to him and suddenly he's gone.

Do not follow!

And you have your neck covered with your brains!

It is one thousandth of what I experienced.

Not to mention the fear, the fear of the howitzer.

Fear of the mines, fear of bullets.

Did you live that?

Fear when you have to jump the parapet and go to the slaughterhouse.

And death?

Your death.

Your death, how many times did you feel it arrive?

How often?

From there we returned and you do not know anything.

Nobody knows. Nobody can know.

Go away.

Go away.

Motherfucker!

Trash!

I am going to kill you!

You can not do anything to me, Captain Laffont.

I have the Eiffel Tower.

INSTITUTE FOR DEAF

Hélène

You do not want to see me more?

Surpasses me.

What happens? Tell me.

Tell me something.

I need to be at peace, Georges.

It's just that

Peace, Georges. You understand?

Damien, I'm here.

It's my watch. Good, you recognize it.

The death of Jean Laffont in 1916 is certified.

"He died for France" in Argonne. Our sincere condolences.

I had entrusted it to you.

Shut up.

You had promised me.

What promise you?

That day I lost half of my company.

Our 75 threw us over.

What did you want me to do?

He came back...

and you continue to reproach me for that.

Shit.

Do not be surprised that I have gone so far.

But many were saved.

What do you want?

That I change my place for his?

I swear there are days when I want it.

He also visits me at night.

Every night, if you want to know.

Forgives.

What happened to Marcel?

Nothing, we argue a little.

I'm afraid for him.

Do not ask me to protect him too.

He locked himself in his room and does not leave.

Marcel.

Open, fuck!

What's wrong? Do not you want to see me more?

Do you want me to leave? That he returns to Africa?

Marcel! I know you hear me, say something.

I finished with Hélène. Was over.

Are not you happy?

Are not you happy?

Do not care?

They found Jean's plaque. Jean, fuck, Jean!

Does not that matter to you either?

Georges

Speak?

Speak.

Yes, you just called me.

You just said "Georges" Yes, you said "Georges".

Do you hear me? Do you hear?

It's okay. It will be all right.

You are going to talk. You will speak.

He said "Georges."

Do you still want to do it? Are you sure?

You are very handsome.

It has a nice house.

It says "beautiful house."

It's from my husband's side.

He's better than me.

- I have my reasons. - He will not need them anymore.

Marcel speaks. Marcel hears.

He said "Georges."

It is wonderful.

It just starts but the doctor says he is cured.

It's wonderful but it does not surprise me.

Marcel.

You want...

marry me?

Yes.

Come!

The impossible

- 2nd section, take the forest. - Repourting for duty, Captain...

Marcel! Marcel!

Have not you seen Georges?

Marcel!

Marcel!

Hill 304, fast!

Marcel!

Marcel!

Marcel!

Calen bayonets!

Stop!

Do not fear, move forward like them!

- Marcel! - Shut up!

You will die!

Marcel!

Do not worry!

Shit!

- Boy! - Marcel!

When we see the boys of the 65th,

we say to ourselves: "They are not afraid of the task."

If they go to the front, they go with a heart full of courage,

is to save Alsace and Lorraine.

Lorena and her mirabelles, mirabelles, beautiful, beautiful.

Mirabelles, beautiful, beautiful.

And if we fall in Argonne or in Lorraine,

under the shrapnel, on a moonless night,

At least we know that we die for plums,

plums from France, from Alsace and from Lorraine.

Lorena and her mirabelles,

mirabelles, beautiful, beautiful, mirabelles, beautiful, beautiful.

Lorena and her mirabelles,

mirabelles, beautiful, beautiful, mirabelles, beautiful, beautiful.

Are you leaving again?

Without you I'm not interested.

They offered me a job at the hospital in Saigon and I accepted.

It is what was missing.

He had rejected it several months ago.

And your husband?

I asked for a divorce.

- When you leave? - This week.

- We'll write. - No, no letters.

I will think of you.

You will also be useful here.

I think so.

I am 37 years old and I am completely spent.

What would it do here?

You will find it.

- When will the chemist come? - I dont know.

Meanwhile, we will continue to exploit mustard gas.

The wind is changing and goes towards Rarécourt. What do we do?

We stopped.

We stopped!

Hello boys.

- Hello. - Hi, Mr. Laffont.

- How is it going? - All right.

Mr. Cottereau, the new boss.

- Hello Andre. - Good day sir.

- All good? - Yes, thank you, sir.

- Mr. Cottereau. - Charmed.

Cordier told me it will take 700 years to clean this up.

We do not care, we'll stop before.

We will plant trees to hide all this.

The howitzers in the forest, the soldiers in the ossuaries...

and we will move on to something else.

Mr. Laffont.

- How are you guys? - All good.

- Mr. Cottereau. - A pleasure.

The new chief engineer.

Welcome to the Moon.

Well, good luck, gentlemen.

Go back to Africa?

Was it Fabrice who told him that?

No, I'm going to Saigon.

Saigon!

What will you do over there?

Live, friend.

Live.

The impossible was to go back whole.

With a tongue to speak and a mouth to sing.

Lips to kiss, ears to hear and eyes to see.

Legs to dance, hands to caress.

Arms to build.

A head to dream, a heart to love.

Soon we will talk, Georges.

We will sing, dance, work and sleep.

We will dream, we will wait and we will love. We will live

Soon we will have done the impossible.

For Léonce and those who did the impossible
