The Frontier of the Dawn

- Hello. - Hello.

I'm to take photos of Carole Weissman.

Yes, I know. Follow me.

Thank you.

Hello.

Sorry, I'm late. Come sit down.

No, thanks, I've already eaten.

Come, anyway.

But could I see where I'm doing the photos?

Sure, do what you like.

Have coffee with us when you've finished.

Okay.

We can do the photos anywhere. It doesn't matter.

Why say that? You'll annoy him.

It's probably important to him.

I said it to put him at ease.

I bet he's never photographed a star before.

I'm not a star. I'm an actress.

Here?

Yes. Well, I don't know.

I thought...

it was better.

It'll take a while, right?

Maybe I should tell them to go.

Maybe it's better to tell them to go.

Well, I have to get down to work now.

You're going to work?

A few photos of you in your apron in the kitchen!

Thanks for coming.

We said we'd go out after.

Tomorrow, if you like.

See you tomorrow.

They've gone now.

- They weren't too annoyed? - No.

- Will you stand there? - Here?

No, here's good.

Just measuring.

No, it's no good.

I don't feel good.

Do you want to take five?

Can you do it tomorrow?

Tomorrow, sure I can.

I'll think of a place.

Alright.

Call me tonight, okay?

I'll be going, then.

Thank you.

- Hello. - Hello, sir.

There should be a booking in the name of Weissman.

Weissman?

- Hello, sir. - Hello.

Is this the place for the photos?

Yes.

- It's better here, isn't it? - Yes.

Where do you want me?

I wanted to use the terrace, but it'll rain.

Can you...

try the bed?

I mean, sit on the bed.

What was it?

6.4...

Doesn't your husband ever come?

He came once since we got married.

Six months ago.

He's in Hollywood.

He works hard. It's all he can do.

Do you miss him?

You think so?

I don't think anything.

I mean, as...

man and wife, sometimes you can...

you know.

We got married on impulse.

I must've wanted to.

I often do stupid things, you know.

You do stupid things?

Such as?

I don't want to do any now, or talk about it.

Not like that.

I want to.

Francois, not like that.

I don't want to. I'm entitled to...

Listen...

Go away.

Go away!

Hang on...

Carole...

Don't take this as a betrayal.

Ethan wants me to do this film for him.

I can't say no after all he's done for me.

It's only eight weeks.

We have our whole lives ahead of us.

Why don't you join me in Hollywood?

I miss you, Carole.

When I married you a few months ago, you said:

"To live together, we have to make concessions".

Remember?

Think it over.

You hold all the cards for our future.

I love you, Carole.

I'm thinking of you a lot...

Especially at night...

Yours, Ed.

The day...

the last concentration camp survivor dies...

World War Ill will start.

You're my love.

I wonder what'll happen when your husband comes home.

I don't know.

He may not stay, you know.

Even if he does...

Won't you be joining him in Hollywood?

Have you had enough of me?

You're totally crazy.

If you've had enough, say so.

It doesn't matter.

No-one will die.

Yes, but you know, now...

I think I love you.

You think so?

No. I'm sure.

What do you know?

You say that, 'cause we're good in bed.

But that's not love.

If I were sick,

would you still love me?

What if my hair fell out?

Or my teeth fell out?

Would you still love me?

What if I went crazy?

What if I were crazy?

Stop it.

Listen...

you mustn't say you love me.

We mustn't say we love each other.

Alright?

Because we don't know.

We're living it, that's all.

Let's enjoy it while it lasts.

The day it's over...

Pop!

We'll disappear like a bubble bursting in mid-air.

Shouldn't breakups be as beautiful as the start?

Breakups are never pretty.

There's always one person who leaves

and the other who's left to cry.

I'm not so sure.

When a couple is very strong,

so strong that they become one entity...

When it's over,

it's like this entity disappears.

And no-one's left behind to cry.

What about us?

We carry on, apart, and forget it all.

That would be great, but that's not how it happens.

Maybe that's how it'll happen.

I can feel it.

I swear, I feel it deep inside.

That's sad, Francois.

Are you abandoning me?

I leave first thing tomorrow. I have to pack.

I must go to London to meet a director.

Where?

London.

I need to sleep to feel on form.

"One week later."

Dammit.

Yeah, look.

I can't work. You can see I can't.

So, I can't work.

So what? I can't work without the sun.

I have to give in my photos.

I can't do a thing now.

Don't you have enough already?

No, and it's not the quantity that counts, you know that.

You don't respect my work.

- You don't. - I do, but I couldn't help it.

Why couldn't you? You knew we'd arranged to meet.

I threw myself under a metro.

There. Happy now?

That's not true.

Yes, it is.

My love...

It doesn't matter, my love.

But it was two years ago.

You jerk!

You goddam jerk!

I had no excuse, I had to think of something.

I've missed you, you idiot.

Will you love me forever?

Will you love me forever?

Much longer still.

Eat up.

How did it go in London?

What do you mean?

Did you get the part?

Oh, the part, yes.

It's not being made yet.

But you got it? That's great.

That's what counts.

That's what counts.

- It's not good? - It is.

I'll show you. I'll do it this time.

Hi.

I didn't have your number. Well, here I am.

- Who's that? - A photographer.

Can we hook up later on?

I'm working all night tonight.

I can't.

Introduce me.

I'll go see him.

No. I said it's not possible.

I'll call you.

- You do that. - Bye.

What?

I didn't say anything.

Coming?

Funny, I think you look like that guy.

There's a family resemblance.

I worked with him. I don't know what he wants.

Is that right?

Yeah, that's right.

He's a French actor I met in London.

He lost my phone number.

You must know him pretty well...

for him to turn up here...

this late.

You think I slept with him?

I don't know what you do when I'm not there.

If you don't even trust me, I'm all alone.

I didn't mean to hurt you, Carole.

Forgive me.

Coffee?

Want some?

Yes, please.

Here.

You have enough photos now?

What is it? Don't sulk.

I hate it when she does that.

I don't care what Carole does.

In her love life.

I meant her drinking.

Yeah...

Know the law of windshield wipers?

No.

Look, it's what love is like.

When one gets near, the other moves away.

When the other one comes back, the first one moves away.

The law of windshield wipers.

Some go like this.

That's friendship. The second wiper law.

I'm unable to talk to Albert. But it's okay...

Excuse me, could I have an autograph?

Sure.

- What's your name? - Sebastien.

- There you are. - Thank you.

Bye.

He pushed me out of the way!

Look.

See that guy?

- Where? - There.

He's a cop.

I don't like cops.

Yes. I'm being watched.

Why's that?

I told you, I give money to people.

Know what?

I agree with you.

Down with fascism and up the revolution.

Stop drinking. Look at you.

Well, well.

It's Colette.

She has a key.

What time is it?

Shit, it's 4 PM.

It's him!

Nightmare! Where can I go?

The living room. We'll use the corridor.

Honey, it's you...

Who else?

- Where's your key? - I forgot it.

- Not too tired? - Exhausted.

- You okay? - I was asleep.

Let's go to bed.

He's gone.

Call me when you get this. I want to see you.

Come.

I need you. Right away.

I know you know how much I need you,

because it hurts me so much, you must feel it.

You want to punish me? What for?

For getting married before I met you?

I've been so hurt.

You had your revenge, you can come back.

You must come back.

You know it as well as I do.

Can you hear me?

I'll always be near you now,

because I protect you.

What's wrong?

What are you writing?

Don't kill yourself.

Don't die.

You know...

We are the people who sleep.

The people who make history are far more common.

So, go to bed.

- You okay? - Yeah.

Carole's been institutionalized.

She set fire to her place.

The neighbors called the fire department.

She's in a clinic.

I'll give you the address.

Here.

Visiting time's 'til 8.

Are you okay?

I'm okay.

See you.

Oh, shit.

We won't do it before the summer,

the bloodless revolution.

And we'll go in the streets with no weapons.

The whole population.

No weapons, no bloodshed,

pressing the timer, not the bomb.

We'll do it without violence.

The wall.

Any one of us has done that

and more besides.

Truth rises with children's bodies.

Don't worry.

Don't move, it'll be okay.

Come here.

My love.

Sorry about the meeting place, but...

At least you're here.

Too bad about...

Why didn't you come sooner?

Waiting for me to be like this?

I'm harmless now, is that it?

Were you afraid I'd hurt you?

Don't worry. I'm joking.

Come here.

Come to me.

I swear I won't hurt you.

Sit down here.

I'm not crazy, you know.

They said they were scared I'd die.

Why would I want to if you're here?

It's only logical.

They want to drive me crazy.

You must help me escape.

Only you can save me.

You know that?

There's a path behind the back wall...

Let's go.

Then... we'll disappear,

as if by magic.

The face he'll make!

They'll never find us.

What's wrong?

What is it?

I can't walk.

Wait... Put your hands around my neck.

Hang on...

Can you carry me?

I'll get you out.

What're you doing?

- Don't go too far away, sir. - Okay.

Shit.

I wanted to take you back.

Will you hug me tight?

Hug me.

Here it is.

I found it.

I've got it.

Good luck, Carole.

Call me.

Promise?

I promise.

I'll never forget you.

You take care now.

You too.

In you go now.

Your belt.

You've changed.

I don't recognize you anymore.

Maybe because you've changed.

No, I haven't changed.

Remember I asked you if you'd love me if I was crazy?

No.

Is that true?

No, it's not.

I'm going to Los Angeles.

Okay...

For long?

Yes, I think so.

Look...

When are you leaving?

On Tuesday.

Leaving Tuesday...

Look...

Are you seeing someone?

Yes.

Know what they say in the songs?

Well, it's true.

My love...

I want to see you one last time.

Just once...

Then, I'll let you go.

"One year later."

Don't move.

No, not that...

I want to.

No. Not now.

Why not?

Because.

- Don't you love me? - That's not it.

Why not, then?

Because.

Please...

That's just how it is.

Did you go out?

Where were you?

I went for a walk.

What for?

To think about you, ma'am.

Are you staying now?

You won't go away again?

No, sir.

Stop it.

Going to New York?

Yes.

My love, I'm writing to you about things

which must remain for when we might doubt.

I never depended on someone else for my happiness 'til you.

I have loved before,

but love was a relationship.

Now it's more.

I can't imagine living without you.

How could I be without you?

We don't have a relationship.

I am in your love, I live by your love.

I just wanted you to know that.

I love you, Eve, I love you.

I'm anti-Semitic.

Hate is what I do.

People like it or they don't. If they don't, I like that!

Anti-Semitic, do you understand?

It's clear enough.

It's my race.

Well, I'm Jewish.

You're Jewish. I was sure you were!

Everyone's Jewish nowadays except the anti-Semites.

And it won't last. Believe me, it won't last.

I'll say it again because you didn't understand.

I am...

Jewish!

Did the Froggies ever tell you you were very pretty?

Yes.

I think I'm carrying your child.

Are you sure?

It's likely.

I'll buy a pregnancy test tomorrow.

But I can't have a child.

If it's true, we can't keep it.

Don't ask me to do that.

Please!

Don't ask me to do that.

Come on, dry your tears.

I'm okay with it.

Leave this place.

Go deep in the forest.

You'll find a field with a tree in the middle.

You can stay there... forever.

Just a sec!

Hey, pal. Alright?

It's really heavy!

You get used to it.

And people help you.

All the best.

Well? Did you go out for a walk?

By Yourself'?

All by yourself?

Look.

How are you?

Alright?

Recognize yourself?

My little baby... You're a little baby.

You're so cute.

Right...

time to go.

So long.

Mind the baby.

- What? - The baby...

Will you love me the same when we have this kid?

'Course I will.

Your mother...

was very in love with a musician she'd met in Prague.

She followed him on his tours

across Europe, Canada, everywhere...

In America.

He was her true love.

I waited for her.

And?

Know why she chose me?

She wanted a good dad to have children with.

She made the right choice, Dad.

And here you are...

Don't you worry about me, Dad. I know what I'm doing.

You trust me, don't you?

Do I have any choice?

I really miss Mom.

I miss her, too.

I'm late, aren't I?

You're expected, you know.

I'm sure I am.

Are you okay? Not too nervous?

- Are you? - I'm very excited.

Are you?

This is my father's house.

It's a splendid house.

You got nothing against the rich, I hope!

I hope they've got nothing against me.

That'd be awkward.

- Hello. - Hello.

Francois, Juliette, my stepmother.

- Had a nice trip? - Yeah.

Hello, Francois.

Shall we take your things up?

Let's take 'em up.

We could make this your studio.

With a darkroom.

- Does it scare you? - What?

That it's all so easy?

No, but there's too much light for a photo lab.

See that carpet?

Pretty, isn't it?

For our bedroom?

Hey, look...

I'll take some photos of you.

Is that okay with you?

Hang on...

Look...

Be simple, not like it's your job.

Do you want to get married?

We don't have to.

Hang on...

I love you.

I must tell you something.

In New York...

I met a guy and I fell in love.

Then I realized you're the one I love.

Did you tell anyone?

No.

I was too ashamed.

Did you love him?

Yes.

But I didn't want to lose you.

We didn't make love.

I can't talk about...

other things.

I just can't.

Right...

Dad...

Wait, I'm talking.

We found her

three days later, prostrate...

in her grandmother's apartment.

I didn't know she'd kept the key.

Things calmed down in time.

Since she started working and since she met you...

and you decided to have a baby.

I'm telling you this as it's important

for you to know that Eve has always been fragile.

So, if you ever have any trouble,

don't hesitate to call on me.

Don't hesitate.

Careful.

It's low. Do be careful.

Oh, no...

Sorry. We're a bit clumsy.

What's the matter? What are you doing?

Are you praying?

You're the Virgin Mary.

Why do you say that?

You didn't want me to have your baby?

'Cause you said I was praying.

Why were you looking at me like that?

Won't you love me anymore when I'm fat?

You're crazy to say that. You still don't get it.

It's changed everything.

What?

I really want this child.

My God!

Didn't you write:

"We slept where we could,

we gave birth,

and we let our friends go"?

Yes.

You're my wounded love,

and you're bored of this life.

You're not alone anymore.

I'm by your side.

Every time you need me,

call my name

and I will appear.

What's going on?

Where are you?

I'm hiding in your dreams.

I'll be back.

I'm here.

Behind the mirror.

You know where to find me.

You okay?

How are things?

I'm having a baby.

That's great.

My little girl is now three.

I'll give you her baby clothes.

That's what you do, kids grow up fast.

- It's fantastic! - Yeah.

Who's the mother?

The mother's... a girl I met last year.

She's very pretty.

She's great. Let's meet up.

Sure, we'll hook up.

People with kids tend to see a lot of each other.

You'll have to get up early.

I guess so.

I'm really happy.

Good, isn't it?

It's like jumping out the window,

the right way round.

You're starting a new life.

The thing is, you worry about them all the time.

I've got two now.

Yes, so I heard.

Call me if you like.

Here.

The price of diapers!

Remember the baby clothes.

Costs a fortune.

Bye, Francois. Bye.

That's great.

Make her reappear if she left a trace in your subconscious.

Imagine if you could trigger these apparitions.

It'd prove the subconscious can obey us.

'Til now, no news from the subconscious.

You must seize this chance.

You've been chosen.

Yeah, you have.

Were you coming to see me when you died?

Yes.

What do you want me to do?

I want you to come with me.

Abandon your life of resignation.

I won't kill myself to make up for abandoning you.

You will. Not to make up for it.

To prove you loved me.

You have nothing keeping you, you're alone.

I'm not alone.

I love a woman who loves me. It's none of your business.

You only ever loved me.

I'm your love. Your one true love.

Leave me alone.

No.

I'm waiting for you.

You're mine.

And if you won't join me, you'll know only torment.

Why do you say that? You're mean.

No. I love you. And I need you.

I love you too. But I want to forget you.

You can never forget me.

We love one another for eternity.

Eternity.

Come in.

Comrade.

Sit down.

Are you okay?

Yes, I'm okay.

You know...

I'm getting married.

That's good.

You're doing the right thing.

Someone told me. Beatrice maybe...

But I...

I've got another problem.

You once told me you were out walking

and saw yourself above the roofs.

Floating above the roofs.

Something like that happened to me.

The other day, I...

I was in front of the mirror...

Remember Carole from two years ago?

She appeared...

in the mirror and spoke to me.

What did she say?

She's appeared to me several times already.

She's calling me...

Come on...

You're having hallucinations,

maybe 'cause you realize only now she loved you,

that she loved you madly.

You feel guilty, 'cause she took her life.

But you couldn't help it.

You can't help someone who's desperate.

Now, everything is sorted out...

Sorted out?

You're having a baby with Eve...

Evelyne.

You love each other.

You're getting married.

That's what's tormenting you.

What's tormenting me?

Happiness.

Conventional happiness.

Scary, isn't it?

Maybe you're right.

Will you be my best man?

Why?

You're my best friend. I need a best man.

You picked me to do the dirty work?

No, I'd be delighted.

I suppose I'll have to wear a suit...

and a tie.

And don't you think it's because

I, too, loved her very much?

What?

That she's appearing to me?

Do you believe in ghosts?

I don't know. Nobody knows, after all.

No.

Your subconscious is working overtime.

Only the subconscious never lies.

The transition between two loves is always painful,

understand?

'Course I do.

You didn't answer me. Should I wear a tie?

You're not scared?

Of what?

Tomorrow.

Will you come?

To City Hall?

You're totally crazy!

I'm in love.

I am, too, but I'm not afraid.

Maybe you're less in love than me

and you think you're making a mistake.

We can always get divorced.

Don't say that.

I'm joking.

Don't even joke about it. What you say lasts forever.

My love, I'll be there tomorrow and forever.

I'm sure of it.

- Really? - Yes.

What should I do now?

That's it.

I think I love you.

It's you I love.

Join me.

Fast.

Join me now.
