15
00:03:00,601 --> 00:03:03,001
or just invented
that tender moment

16
00:03:03,201 --> 00:03:06,631
to counter the moments
of madness to follow.

17
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:08,171
The sudden roar,

18
00:03:08,370 --> 00:03:09,560
the woman's gesture,

19
00:03:09,780 --> 00:03:11,541
the crumpling body,

20
00:03:11,740 --> 00:03:15,601
and the cries of the crowd,
blurred by fear.

21
00:03:17,721 --> 00:03:21,911
Later he realized
that he'd seen a man die.

22
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,620
Soon afterwards,
Paris was destroyed.

23
00:04:39,530 --> 00:04:41,391
Many died.

24
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,861
Some considered
themselves victors.

25
00:04:44,071 --> 00:04:46,230
Others were taken prisoner.

26
00:04:46,641 --> 00:04:50,571
The survivors settled in underground
passages beneath Chaillot.

27
00:04:54,051 --> 00:04:57,850
Above ground, Paris,
like most of the world,

28
00:04:58,051 --> 00:05:02,181
was uninhabitable,
riddled with radioactivity.

29
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,790
The victors stood guard
over a kingdom of rats.

30
00:05:09,701 --> 00:05:12,530
Prisoners were subjected
to experiments

31
00:05:12,730 --> 00:05:16,181
apparently of great concern
to those who conducted them.

32
00:05:48,970 --> 00:05:52,730
The outcome was disappointment
for the experimenters,

33
00:05:53,241 --> 00:05:55,701
and for the subjects,
either death

34
00:05:55,910 --> 00:05:57,241
or madness.

35
00:06:38,650 --> 00:06:40,650
One day they came to select a new
guinea pig from among the prisoners.

36
00:06:40,650 --> 00:06:42,941
One day they came to select a new
guinea pig from among the prisoners.

37
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,220
He was the man whose story
we are now telling.

38
00:07:16,660 --> 00:07:18,451
He was frightened.

39
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,261
He had heard
about the head experimenter

40
00:07:25,460 --> 00:07:28,220
and was prepared
to face the mad scientist

41
00:07:28,431 --> 00:07:31,051
or Dr. Frankenstein.

42
00:07:31,270 --> 00:07:33,131
Instead, he found
a reasonable man

43
00:07:33,340 --> 00:07:37,670
who calmly explained
that the human race was doomed.

44
00:07:37,881 --> 00:07:39,811
Space was out of the question.

45
00:07:40,210 --> 00:07:45,770
The only hope for survival
lay in time.

46
00:07:46,220 --> 00:07:49,410
A loophole in time
might make it possible

47
00:07:49,621 --> 00:07:53,811
to reach food, medicine, energy.

48
00:07:54,991 --> 00:07:57,251
This was the aim
of the experiments:

49
00:07:57,460 --> 00:07:59,891
to send emissaries into time

50
00:08:00,100 --> 00:08:02,891
to summon past and future
to the rescue of the present.

51
00:08:04,001 --> 00:08:06,931
But the human mind recoiled.

52
00:08:07,141 --> 00:08:09,040
to wake up in another time

53
00:08:09,741 --> 00:08:13,170
was to be born again,
as an adult.

54
00:08:13,381 --> 00:08:15,311
The shock was too great.

55
00:08:16,051 --> 00:08:20,280
After sending lifeless or unconscious
bodies into different time zones,

56
00:08:20,821 --> 00:08:25,720
the inventors now focused on men
with powerful mental images.

57
00:08:25,931 --> 00:08:29,090
If they could conceive of
or dream of another time,

58
00:08:29,301 --> 00:08:32,560
perhaps they would be able
to enter into it.

59
00:08:34,930 --> 00:08:38,331
The camp police spied
even on dreams.

60
00:08:38,540 --> 00:08:40,731
This man was selected

61
00:08:40,940 --> 00:08:44,601
due to his fixation
on an image from his past.

62
00:09:33,930 --> 00:09:39,450
First, the present and all its supports
must be stripped away.

63
00:09:41,731 --> 00:09:43,690
They start again.

64
00:10:18,641 --> 00:10:20,300
The subject doesn't die

65
00:10:20,511 --> 00:10:21,971
or go mad.

66
00:10:22,170 --> 00:10:23,631
He suffers.

67
00:10:24,241 --> 00:10:26,001
They continue.

68
00:11:05,150 --> 00:11:07,550
On the tenth day,

69
00:11:07,751 --> 00:11:11,200
images begin to well up
like confessions.

70
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,111
A peacetime morning.

71
00:11:17,131 --> 00:11:20,030
A peacetime bedroom.
A real bedroom.

72
00:11:22,471 --> 00:11:24,091
Real children.

73
00:11:27,670 --> 00:11:29,290
Real birds.

74
00:11:31,940 --> 00:11:33,560
Real cats.

75
00:11:36,881 --> 00:11:38,501
Real graves.

76
00:11:42,221 --> 00:11:44,680
On the 16th day,
he's on the observation deck.

77
00:11:44,891 --> 00:11:46,721
It's empty.

78
00:11:49,930 --> 00:11:52,221
Sometimes he finds
a day of happiness,

79
00:11:52,430 --> 00:11:54,331
but it's a different one.

80
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:02,001
A happy face,
but it's a different one.

81
00:12:06,111 --> 00:12:07,731
Ruins.

82
00:12:09,950 --> 00:12:12,680
A girl who could be
the one he seeks.

83
00:12:14,820 --> 00:12:16,940
He crosses her path
on the observation deck.

84
00:12:20,361 --> 00:12:22,591
She smiles at him from a car.

85
00:12:24,961 --> 00:12:27,861
Other images pour out
and mix

86
00:12:28,070 --> 00:12:30,930
in a museum
that is perhaps his memory.

87
00:13:12,511 --> 00:13:15,700
On the 30th day,
the meeting takes place.

88
00:13:19,190 --> 00:13:22,020
This time he's sure
he recognizes her.

89
00:13:22,221 --> 00:13:24,381
In fact, it's the only thing
he's sure of

90
00:13:24,591 --> 00:13:28,391
in this timeless world
that amazes him with its riches.

91
00:13:43,810 --> 00:13:46,741
All around him
are astonishing materials:

92
00:13:47,310 --> 00:13:49,641
glass, plastic,

93
00:13:49,851 --> 00:13:51,871
terry cloth.

94
00:13:52,591 --> 00:13:55,381
When he shakes off
his fascination,

95
00:13:55,591 --> 00:13:57,820
the woman has disappeared.

96
00:14:01,631 --> 00:14:05,060
The experimenters
tighten their control

97
00:14:05,261 --> 00:14:07,550
and send him back
on the trail.

98
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,361
Time rolls back again.
The moment returns.

99
00:14:18,581 --> 00:14:22,070
This time he's close to her
and speaks to her.

100
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,570
She greets him without surprise.

101
00:14:25,991 --> 00:14:28,721
They have no memories, no plans.

102
00:14:29,221 --> 00:14:32,241
Time takes shape painlessly
around them.

103
00:14:32,461 --> 00:14:35,251
Their sole landmarks
are the taste of the moment

104
00:14:35,631 --> 00:14:38,221
and the markings on the walls.

105
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,831
Later they're in a garden.

106
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,871
He remembers
that there were gardens.

107
00:15:25,511 --> 00:15:27,560
She asks him about his necklace,

108
00:15:27,780 --> 00:15:31,711
the combat necklace he wore at the start
of the war that is to break out someday.

109
00:15:32,150 --> 00:15:34,440
He makes up an explanation.

110
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:43,550
They stop before a redwood trunk
marked with historical dates.

111
00:15:43,761 --> 00:15:46,121
She mentions a foreign name
he doesn't understand.

112
00:15:54,611 --> 00:15:58,560
As in a dream, he points beyond
the tree trunk and hears himself say,

113
00:15:59,241 --> 00:16:00,961
"That's where I come from"...

114
00:16:03,780 --> 00:16:06,741
and falls back, exhausted.

115
00:16:09,290 --> 00:16:13,020
Then another wave of time
lifts him up.

116
00:16:13,591 --> 00:16:15,920
They probably give him
another shot.

117
00:16:26,211 --> 00:16:28,871
Now she lies sleeping in the sun.

118
00:16:37,420 --> 00:16:40,481
He thinks that,
in the time it took him

119
00:16:40,690 --> 00:16:43,810
to return to her world,
she died.

120
00:16:51,461 --> 00:16:54,320
She wakes up.
He speaks to her again.

121
00:16:55,101 --> 00:16:57,660
The truth being
too fantastic to be believed,

122
00:16:57,871 --> 00:17:00,961
he mentions only the essentials:
a distant land,

123
00:17:01,170 --> 00:17:03,500
a long way to travel.

124
00:17:03,940 --> 00:17:06,271
She listens and doesn't laugh.

125
00:17:35,771 --> 00:17:37,321
Is it the same day?

126
00:17:37,541 --> 00:17:39,331
He no longer knows.

127
00:17:39,581 --> 00:17:42,480
They'll take countless walks
like this one,

128
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,271
and an unspoken trust
will grow between them,

129
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,271
trust in its purest form.

130
00:17:48,490 --> 00:17:52,750
No memories, no plans,
until the moment he senses

131
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,821
a barrier ahead.

132
00:18:05,900 --> 00:18:09,131
Thus the first set of experiments
came to an end.

133
00:18:13,750 --> 00:18:16,180
It was the starting point
for a series of tests

134
00:18:16,381 --> 00:18:18,430
in which he'd meet her
at different times.

135
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,781
He meets her a few times
before their markings on the walls.

136
00:18:32,871 --> 00:18:35,460
She welcomes him simply.

137
00:18:35,670 --> 00:18:38,430
She calls him her ghost.

138
00:18:41,641 --> 00:18:43,470
One day she seems frightened.

139
00:18:46,611 --> 00:18:49,071
One day she leans over him.

140
00:18:52,250 --> 00:18:55,150
He never knows
whether he moves toward her

141
00:18:55,351 --> 00:18:56,781
or is pushed,

142
00:18:56,990 --> 00:19:00,551
whether he's made it all up
or is only dreaming.

143
00:20:02,250 --> 00:20:03,871
Around the 50th day,

144
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:08,450
they meet in a museum
filled with ageless animals.

145
00:20:35,750 --> 00:20:39,111
Now their aim is perfect.

146
00:20:39,730 --> 00:20:41,960
They can aim him
at a given moment,

147
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,061
and he can stay there
and move around at ease.

148
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:21,950
She too seems to have adjusted.

149
00:22:30,601 --> 00:22:34,551
She accepts the ways of this visitor
as a natural phenomenon,

150
00:22:34,771 --> 00:22:38,720
how he comes and goes,
exists, talks,

151
00:22:38,940 --> 00:22:41,900
laughs with her, falls silent,
listens to her,

152
00:22:42,111 --> 00:22:43,871
and then vanishes.

153
00:23:39,371 --> 00:23:42,230
Once back in the laboratory,

154
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,601
he sensed that something
had changed.

155
00:23:46,041 --> 00:23:48,301
The camp director was there.

156
00:23:49,081 --> 00:23:51,771
From what was said around him,

157
00:23:51,980 --> 00:23:55,101
he gathered that after the success
of the experiments in the past,

158
00:23:55,321 --> 00:23:58,771
they now meant
to launch him into the future.

159
00:23:58,990 --> 00:24:01,821
His excitement
made him forget for a moment

160
00:24:02,031 --> 00:24:06,460
that the meeting in the museum
was their last.

161
00:24:12,940 --> 00:24:15,771
The future was better armored
than the past.

162
00:24:18,210 --> 00:24:21,371
After several
even more grueling attempts,

163
00:24:21,581 --> 00:24:24,740
he eventually caught
some waves of the world to come.

164
00:24:27,690 --> 00:24:30,551
He crossed
a planet transformed...

165
00:24:31,990 --> 00:24:34,010
with Paris rebuilt...

166
00:24:34,430 --> 00:24:36,891
10,000 incomprehensible streets.

167
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,260
Others were waiting for him.

168
00:24:47,841 --> 00:24:50,101
It was a brief encounter.

169
00:24:50,311 --> 00:24:54,301
They clearly refused
this slag from another time.

170
00:24:56,821 --> 00:24:59,410
He recited his lesson:

171
00:24:59,621 --> 00:25:01,740
Since humanity had survived,

172
00:25:01,950 --> 00:25:06,811
it couldn't refuse to its own past
the means of its own survival.

173
00:25:11,660 --> 00:25:15,321
This sophism was taken
for fate in disguise.

174
00:25:27,611 --> 00:25:29,400
They gave him a power unit

175
00:25:29,611 --> 00:25:32,900
strong enough to set
all human industry in motion again.

176
00:25:33,851 --> 00:25:36,680
Then the gates of the future
closed once again.

177
00:25:45,230 --> 00:25:47,420
Shortly after his return,

178
00:25:47,631 --> 00:25:50,291
he was transferred
to another part of the camp.

179
00:25:50,970 --> 00:25:53,760
He knew his jailers
would not spare him.

180
00:25:54,641 --> 00:25:56,760
He'd been a tool
in their hands.

181
00:25:56,980 --> 00:26:01,071
His childhood image had served
as bait to train him.

182
00:26:01,281 --> 00:26:04,371
He'd lived up to their expectations
and played his part.

183
00:26:04,581 --> 00:26:06,871
Now he only waited
to be executed,

184
00:26:07,091 --> 00:26:12,021
with the memory of a twice-lived
moment in time somewhere inside him.

185
00:26:13,690 --> 00:26:17,920
Deep in this limbo, he received word
from the people of the future.

186
00:26:19,061 --> 00:26:21,321
They too could travel through time,

187
00:26:21,900 --> 00:26:23,990
and more easily.

188
00:26:24,571 --> 00:26:26,531
There they were,

189
00:26:26,740 --> 00:26:29,861
ready to accept him
as one of their own.

190
00:26:32,740 --> 00:26:35,470
But he had a different request.

191
00:26:35,910 --> 00:26:38,571
Rather than that pacified future,

192
00:26:38,781 --> 00:26:43,111
he asked to be returned
to the world of his childhood

193
00:26:43,321 --> 00:26:46,680
and that woman
who might be waiting for him.

194
00:26:52,700 --> 00:26:54,750
Once again
on the observation deck at Orly...

195
00:26:55,930 --> 00:26:59,730
on this warm Sunday before the war
where he could now stay,

196
00:26:59,940 --> 00:27:02,631
he thought confusedly
how the child he'd been

197
00:27:02,841 --> 00:27:06,831
must be there too,
watching the planes.

198
00:27:07,281 --> 00:27:09,571
But first he sought out
a woman's face

199
00:27:09,781 --> 00:27:12,341
at the end of the deck.

200
00:27:32,041 --> 00:27:33,831
He ran toward her.

201
00:27:34,041 --> 00:27:36,900
And when he recognized the man
who'd trailed him from the camp,

202
00:27:38,180 --> 00:27:40,641
he realized there was
no escape from time,

203
00:27:41,450 --> 00:27:44,710
and that that moment
he'd been granted to see as a child,

204
00:27:45,180 --> 00:27:47,910
and that had obsessed him
forever after...

205
00:27:49,591 --> 00:27:52,611
was the moment
of his own death.
