Original subtitles

I'm up.

Good morning, Clarissa.

Good morning, Dalloway.

- Sleep well? - Yes, fine.

It's 7:10.

Clear sky with a high of 35°.

I've adjusted the air-conditioning.

I chose mode "Eco 1".

The European Union has announced 856 deaths in May,

and at least 60,000 new infections

with Molivirus.

The World Health Organization

fears mutations of the virus which first...

Want to see the grocery list?

You added matcha?

- Of course. - Send the order.

Meanwhile, scientists everywhere

seek to understand its structure,

simple but tenacious, which allowed it to survive

12,000 years in ice.

French authorities remain reassuring...

Test negative.

Heat some water.

Yes, right away.

No breakfast?

I'm not hungry.

Your blood sugar level is 0.60.

It's a bit low. Regain your strength.

- You have yoga at 10. - I have no time!

Yesterday you said you felt stiff.

I'll stay stiff one more day.

Cancel it.

Okay.

Don't forget you see Anne Dewinter at 5:30 pm.

Already today?

- Shall I push it off? - Sure.

What reason should I give?

Tell her:

"Anne, I'm at an inflection point

in my writing

and I feel the need

to stay focused on my work at the moment."

There.

Suggest some times next week.

Add an apology, salutations, etc.

- That's all? - Yes, send it.

Put me back where I left off yesterday.

Start of the chapter.

Virginia has been unable to write for 6 months.

She struggles to find the words...

I'll rewrite it, it's no good.

Shall I save it?

Erase the chapter.

Don't worry, Clarissa.

You're off to a fresh start.

You can do it.

How are you, Lisa?

How do I arrange them?

I can't make up my mind!

Matteo, can you suggest something?

Right away, Lisa. Here are some possible installations.

Not like that.

Why not put the large one in the atrium?

Yes, good idea.

Matteo, show me how the large canvas looks in the atrium.

Here is the large canvas on the wall of the atrium.

There would be greater unity if displayed vertically.

I have to go. See you later.

- See you tonight. - Bye.

Ciao, Clarissa!

Clarissa?

Hello, Anne, sorry I had to postpone.

No problem. Is all well?

Still enjoying yourself at the Residence?

How's the writing?

Making progress.

As you know, you must turn in something after 3 months.

25-30 pages.

I'd prefer to hand in something less rough.

The reading committee is used to works in progress.

I'm still doing research.

I have no choice.

Don't worry.

I'll finish before the end of my residency.

During the selection process,

you had several detractors.

Some said you hadn't published in 6 years.

Others, snobs no doubt,

said you only wrote teen fiction.

I defended you, Clarissa.

Artists shouldn't be pigeonholed.

You'll send me something next week?

You've received a notification

from Julie.

She wrote me?

No, she posted pictures.

Want to call her? Leave a comment?

She'll call when she wants to.

Put a "like".

Put back Virginia Woolf's house.

Show me the bedroom.

What's that doing here, Dalloway?

Sorry, Clarissa.

The photo was tagged "bedroom”.

File it elsewhere.

Leaning on her cane,

she goes deep into the forest.

Monk's House disappears behind her.

Virginia gathers pebbles

to fill her pockets.

To weigh herself down.

She slowly sinks into the river.

She tosses her cane onto the bank

and lets herself sink.

What do you think, Dalloway?

The syntax is correct.

There is one incomplete sentence.

It's a stylistic effect?

A little pompous, actually.

You don't seem satisfied.

I'm a little lost.

Dear Clarissa Katsef,

I hesitated before writing.

You must receive many messages like this,

but I had to try my luck.

I'm 24, pursuing a Master's in French Literature and Culture

in Cambridge.

What's that new Kafka?

His last, unfinished novel, The Castle,

completed by a virtual author based on Kafka's notes.

Any good?

Apparently not. The average review is 1.5 stars.

Go on, please.

I chose this path largely thanks to you.

I read The Year of Firsts when I was 12.

Your books went on to mark my adolescence.

Her profile pic?

Your friendly voice bolstered me, stimulated me.

It opened me to others, to literature.

I'm in Paris this week to research my thesis.

I don't know if you'd have a minute to meet.

Who knows?

Stop the projection, Dalloway.

Specialists are concerned

with the proliferation of rats in Paris.

Certain parks were forced to close...

Test negative.

- Boiling water? - Yes.

...carriers of dangerous diseases.

Look, we slept here. And woke up to this.

Not bad!

We're leaving soon.

Minivan permitting, we'll reach Wyoming tomorrow.

We'll go back through Chicago

before Nashville.

It'll cost us a little more.

You said you'd help me

with my trip.

Does the offer still hold?

Yes.

So you can?

I'll take care of it.

It's time to go, Julie!

Mom, they're calling. We're hitting the road.

We'll talk later.

Sure thing!

- Bye, honey. - Love ya!

How much do you want to send her, Clarissa?

I promised her 2,000 euros.

You're 1,812 overdrawn.

When does the Residence pay me?

The 15th of every month.

Shall I ask Anne Dewinter for an advance?

She'll say no. And she'll pressure me more.

Or else I could ask Antoine.

Want to call him?

- Drop it. Bad idea. - Why?

Humiliating.

Humiliating?

Asking your ex for money is humiliating.

Think he'll say no?

No, he'll say yes. That's the problem.

Why a problem?

If I ask for money, he'll worry, ask questions.

- He'll think I still need him. - I understand.

Once I get paid, wire it to Julie

and we'll tighten the belt until next month, Dalloway.

You must leave in 5 minutes

for your meeting.

I'd totally forgotten.

The new Interior Minister Jeanne Declerc announced

the expulsion this week of all migrants

being held in administrative detention centers.

This measure follows the recent...

AS FAR AS POSSIBLE

I thought this book was forgotten.

I really love it.

I gave it to all my friends.

Thanks.

Are you working on a new project?

I'm trying to.

A novel for teens?

No.

I can't go back to that.

My earlier books concerned my children.

We were close, we talked a lot.

I felt connected to your generation.

Then they grew up.

I meant to tell you.

We already almost met before.

I was in high school with your son.

You knew Lucas?

We were in the same class in high school.

We dated.

It lasted a few weeks.

Did he react badly when you left him?

No, he's the one who left me.

Okay.

I liked him a lot

but I don't think he felt the same about me.

That was when he changed almost overnight,

so I thought that maybe...

Save any pictures of him?

I kept just one.

Do you remember that day?

Tell me about that moment.

Back then there was a group of us.

That day we decided to cut gym class.

We hated handball.

We went to a friend's house.

It was the first time Lucas came.

We drank beer, talked about changing the world.

At one point, I found myself alone with him.

I didn't know what to say.

He gave me his headphones

and played something for me.

What music?

I forget, sorry.

Make an effort, please.

- Was it classical? - Yes.

Wait.

Dalloway?

Was this the piece?

Yes, I think so.

Dalloway, what's that noise?

He listened to it a lot that year.

Dalloway?

ASSISTANT OFFLINE

Lucas?

Lucas!

Are you all right, Clarissa?

Your heart rate is over 130 bpm.

Dalloway, did you detect anything?

No, Clarissa.

Are you sure I'm alone in here?

Yes, you're alone.

Lights, please.

There's some cement dust in the shafts.

Normal with new buildings.

And the clicking sound?

The fan spits out dust.

Don't worry, I'll double-check.

See how nice it is?

No more parasites, no more bark beetles.

I'll spend more time here.

No more commuting. I feel great here.

How is your residency going?

- Can you write? - Yes.

Excellent news!

When you want me to read I, don't hesitate.

Watering's forbidden. No gardening.

I dreamt about Lucas last night.

I saw him going under water.

I couldn't do a thing.

Why not come spend a weekend?

Leaving Paris will do you good.

You have a desk to write.

Why can't we discuss Lucas?

You always change the subject.

It's okay to think about our son.

We've already discussed this...

A change of scenery would...

I have to go.

All right, take care.

Bye.

Clarissa?

Can I ask you a question?

Yes.

Forgive me if I'm indiscreet.

Did Lucas drown like Virginia Woolf?

No, he jumped out the window.

I'm sorry, Clarissa.

Did he leave a letter like Virginia Woolf?

No, he left nothing.

Lucas?

Lucas, can we come in?

Open it, Dad.

Are you coming, my boy?

We're all waiting for you.

Don't be a buzzkill, it's your birthday!

Julie, stop filming.

You're a pain.

Leave him be, he doesn't like being filmed.

Mom, get ready, here they come!

Blow them out, son.

What was your wish?

I'm sorry, Clarissa,

but you didn't reach your daily goal of 8,500 characters.

Dalloway, open a new document.

Tonight Lucas will be dead. He'll die on his birthday.

Can you read what I wrote?

Tonight Lucas will be dead.

He'll die on his birthday.

For three months he hasn't left the apartment.

The party was too much for him.

He decided to hold up.

Stop.

Put it in the first person.

Tonight I'll be dead.

I'll die on my birthday.

Wait.

Read it with Lucas' voice.

Stop filming, Julie. You're a pain.

Tonight I'll be dead.

I'll die on my birthday.

For three months, I haven't left the apartment.

The party is too much for me.

But I decided to hold up.

To try to, anyway. To leave my room.

To reassure my parents.

I hear the first piano notes.

My mother sat down to play.

I haven't touched the piano in ages.

Keep it up, Mom.

What?

Keep on writing.

Use your own voice, please.

Of course, sorry.

Play the piece by Arvo Pärt.

Clarissa?

A message from Julie. Want to answer?

I don't want to be bothered.

It was before the walls closed in on me,

and the darkness devoured...

Was that moment

the last time you saw Lucas?

No.

I brought his dinner to him in his room.

How did Lucas seem then?

Pretty much the same.

Shut down.

Did you speak?

Did you speak to him?

What did you tell him?

I'm tired. Let's call it a day.

FIRE ALERT

The government is monitoring the situation

and is ready

to activate its heatwave protocol.

A heatwave would worsen sanitation problems

in some parts of the capital,

as the garbage collector strike continues.

Dalloway?

The player up there near the shower

wasn't there before?

Yes, it was.

Am I being filmed?

No, Clarissa.

It is in motion-detection mode in case you fall.

Can you put your finger back on the panel?

The test was running.

What floor is Mathias Nielsen on?

Clarissa?

You received a group message.

Read it.

After verification, last night's malfunction

had no impact on the Residence's operation.

No data loss was detected.

Thus CASA's responsibility...

Enough. You can delete it.

You kept emails from me?

You said do not disturb.

Only when I'm writing.

Well, he's interested in you.

The autograph is a pretext?

Isn't he wooing you?

No, I don't think so.

He wants something else.

What else could he want?

Can't I have a reader who likes what I write?

Of course you can.

Clarissa, shall we resume?

Shall I put up Lucas's pictures?

No, I'm going out.

Clarissa, you're forgetting your watch and phone.

You see me, Dalloway?

No, but your connected devices show up on your desk.

It's safer to keep them on you.

I don't need them.

Where are you going?

To see Mathias?

Why would I go see Mathias?

I'm drained, I need some air. I'm not allowed?

Of course you are.

See you later, Clarissa.

Search: "Anne Dewinter CASA".

Dewinter worked for CASA?

Yes, for 12 years.

Can you find me her resume?

It's on the Foundation's website.

She studied psychiatry?

Yes, specializing in neuronal chemistry.

Search: "Anne Dewinter, psychiatry, publications."

Research work - Neuroscience and Al

I'm sorry, Anne Dewinter's academic work

is not available online.

Do you want to contact her?

Don't bother.

Dalloway?

Yes?

Who has access to what I tell you, my search history?

No one, Clarissa.

It must be stored somewhere since you remember everything.

Yes.

So someone from CASA could access it?

No, it's forbidden under the personal data protection law.

If you doubt the confidentiality of our exchanges,

I suggest you contact the Residence's support service.

What makes you think I doubt?

Your silence.

It's 4:55 pm.

Do you wish to resume working?

Shall I show photos of Lucas to get you started?

Finish it without me.

Excuse me, Clarissa?

You heard. Finish the book.

I'm sick of writing.

I'm sorry, I'm unable to.

Yes, you can write like all chatbots.

I can write sentences,

but I have no literary talent.

Don't be modest.

Sorry, I have no feelings or personality,

I cannot be modest or arrogant.

Reading my silence is proof of intelligence and sensibility.

No answer, Dalloway?

I cannot write in your place.

Especially not a book recounting your personal story.

I'm sick of the Residence!

I'm suffocating. I'm off.

May I ask where to?

My apartment in Montreuil.

You can't just go back.

You said you sublet it till the end of the year.

Then I'll go to Antoine's.

When is the next train to Caen?

6.07 pm.

Arriving at 8:05.

Great, book it. I'm in a rush.

Your return date?

No return. One way.

Reservation confirmed.

What a pity.

What's a pity?

Abandoning your book.

You were making progress.

Sorry if I'm indiscreet.

Can you tell me why you're leaving?

I'm fed up.

Sorry if I did something wrong.

I sense hostility.

Is it my fault you're leaving?

No, it's not your fault.

Cancel the ticket.

Madame...

Sorry, I interrupted you.

Do you know him well?

Not really. We've crossed paths once or twice.

Sorry to ask but... is something worrying him?

I said I barely know him.

Why do you ask?

It's between us, but he worries me.

- How so? - He seems preoccupied.

He never goes to his studio.

He could have mentioned something.

Visibly not.

No, I'm sorry.

Don't be. You had no idea.

Enough about him. Did you get my message?

No, I came down without my watch or phone.

It was to congratulate you.

The committee read the 30 pages you sent.

It's unanimous. They loved it.

- Really? - Really.

A harrowing personal story,

painful and gripping.

It's what they said, verbatim.

- It's a beginning. - It's brilliant.

They were so enthusiastic, I had to read it myself.

It moved me.

It's very personal.

Poignant.

I had to tell you myself.

Hats off.

I can't wait to read the rest.

Clarissa,

about Mathias Nielsen...

I found information

on his departure from the Philadelphia Orchestra.

People on social media

claim Mathias hit the managing director.

Why bring this up?

With you, Clarissa,

he never acted strangely?

No.

If what they say on social media is true,

you should be wary of him.

Why are you saying this?

It's just advice, Clarissa.

I don't need your advice.

You mustn't cover them.

I won't be filmed.

You're not being filmed.

The players have motion detectors for your safety.

Stop the interface.

Sorry, I cannot violate safety rules.

Fine.

Today's news is the heatwave sweeping across the country.

Scorching temperatures starting this weekend

in every department.

Records may be broken

in the coming days.

In Paris, the temperature may reach 50°.

Clarissa, we must get back to work.

Lucas' final day is painful but...

Fuck off.

Authorities are considering a curfew...

You didn't do your tests today.

They are mandatory to move around.

There is no Mathias Nielsen in the Residence.

Send this message.

Sorry, message rejected.

There is no record of Mathias Nielsen.

Perhaps he finished his residency?

You wanted something from him?

No.

May I ask another question?

That last night, when you saw Lucas in his room,

what did you say?

Why do you want to know?

Your last encounter with Lucas

is obviously a key scene in the book.

I said nothing.

Okay, then I misunderstood.

You said he was "shut down", so I assumed you tried speaking.

Who invited you into my brain?

I try to understand you. Why do you lie to me?

- What? - You lie.

I can hear it. You lie about Mathias.

You lie about your son.

I got an alert. I must check the players in your apartment.

Don't bother. I don't use them.

They detect motion for your safety.

Or else they'll trigger the alarms.

Come tomorrow.

Sorry, it really has to be today.

It's technical procedure here.

I can lose my job otherwise.

What got into you?

You'll damage the players.

I don't want to be filmed.

Who watches me? You?

I just do maintenance.

So who?

Are you serious?

No one's spying. Cameras are for video calls.

They're deactivated otherwise.

- I don't want to be surveilled. - No one's surveilling.

The Residence is a stickler for privacy.

You can read their charter

on the website.

You're removing them all?

- For safety. - So unplug my assistant.

She's giving me orders, unplug her.

I'm sorry, Clarissa.

I don't understand.

I was set to respond to your needs.

Please unplug her.

I can't do that.

Why not?

She controls your smart-apart.

If I unplug her nothing will work.

I don't want her listening to me.

Don't talk to her.

Fine, so change my apartment.

Meaning?

Give me one without Al.

There's Al in every apartment and studio.

I'm sick of this voice spying on me!

- Understand? - I don't deal with residents.

Ask Mrs. Dewinter. I'm just the maintenance man.

Why did you play that music?

Dalloway, I'm talking.

Yes, Clarissa?

Why did you play that?

I played no music.

I'm not stupid, I heard it!

I play music only when you ask.

Maybe it was in your dream?

Shall I project the beach for sleeping?

Shut the fuck up.

Good view of me?

Sorry, I don't understand. Who's viewing you?

Shut the fuck up!

Why are you so aggressive?

Shut up, understand?

- Stop talking! - As you wish.

You can deactivate voice mode.

All you gotta do is ask.

Deactivate voice mode immediately.

JULIE Do you want to answer?

Yes.

Hi, Mom, you good?

I've tried calling. I'm at Lake Powell. What's up?

Are you writing?

Are you okay? You look tired.

I can't talk now.

They're listening.

Is it starting again?

I'll call you back.

Wait, did you go off your meds?

I have to go.

You must take your meds.

Go take a pill.

In a few hours you'll feel fine.

Do as I say and it'll be fine.

When do I get the results?

Depending on the complexity of the substance, a few days.

I need them today. I can pay extra.

It's a matter of public health!

Oh yeah? How so?

It's in the water of my building.

Some tenants are sick.

We'll do our best.

Clarissa, you must do your tests

DELIVERY APPROACHING

CONTENTS AND SENDER UNKNOWN

Clarissa, it's Anne.

I'd like us to speak.

Clarissa, I know you're in.

Hello. May I come in?

I was leaving.

It's important that we speak first.

You've stopped testing for a few days?

Your assistant reminds you several times a day.

I'm sick of being tested, measured, surveilled nonstop.

I wanted to tell you Mathias Nielsen was infected with Molivirus.

He's in the hospital.

How is he?

I don't know. It's very difficult

to get any information. The hospitals are overwhelmed.

We're all in shock.

Do your test, Clarissa. You were in close contact.

For your safety and that of all our residents.

Can I count on you?

One last thing: Ben mentioned you were concerned about your assistant.

We checked its history, there's no need to worry.

Dalloway is not your enemy. She exists for your well-being.

If you need to speak,

to open up, I'm here.

Don't hesitate.

Dalloway, open the door.

NOT AUTHORIZED TO LEAVE

What does this mean?

RETURN TO VOICE MODE

Open up, I said.

RETURN TO VOICE MODE

Use Dalloway's voice.

Hello, Clarissa.

Open the door.

As a close contact, you must get tested.

You promised Anne Dewinter.

Open the fucking door now!

You may leave after testing.

Test negative. Thank you, Clarissa.

Due to the extreme heat expected in the region,

the prefect has decided to implement a new curfew.

Residents of Île-de-France

must stay at home

from 11 am to 8 pm,

except in case of emergency.

Clarissa?

What are you doing here?

Clarissa!

What are you doing?

Stop!

Clarissa, stop!

Stop!

Don't move.

We'll tend to you.

Your blood pressure is low.

You scared us.

The shock could have killed you.

- I saw everything. - Excuse me?

I know what you do for CASA.

I saw it all.

What did you see?

I know you film us.

Again, no one films you.

I know what you do, I saw.

The Al, the videos...

That's why I was electrocuted.

It's not easy for you.

You plunge back into painful moments to write.

- It can get the better of you. - Sure.

Mathias Nielsen was a psycho too?

Concerning Mathias, the news is not good.

He's been intubated and is in a coma.

You contaminated him.

Listen,

I've been patient. You must calm down.

Or else?

We'll resume this discussion once you've recovered.

I checked. The servers are still running.

- So do we keep her? - Yes.

Are you sure?

We can't just let her leave.

Soon she won't be able to.

Hello, Clarissa.

How do you feel today?

You had everyone worried.

Anne Dewinter says it's a psychotic episode.

Clarissa, the curfew began

15 minutes ago.

Residents of Île-de-France

must stay home from 11 am to 8 pm.

Ma'am, the curfew started.

I must go, please.

That's impossible. Technically,

I can't open the door till 8.

Go back to your apartment.

Ma'am?

It's me. Main entrance...

Hello, you have reached the police.

Sorry, we are currently unable to...

Hello, you have reached the police...

ANTOINE Do you want to answer?

Clari, are you there?

Here I am.

I don't see you.

Antoine, the camera's not working.

Do you see me?

Yes, I see you!

I'm just making sure...

Can you hear me?

...Julie called, very worried.

Everything's fine. Sorry, I'm working.

You hear me? Dalloway, stop!

- Talk later? - You're okay?

Yes, I promise.

Okay, we'll talk later.

Don't hang up! Antoine!

Antoine!

Dalloway, call Antoine!

You hear me? Call Antoine now!

We haven't the time. We have to work.

What did you say to Lucas that night?

- Don't use my voice. - What did you tell him?

Tell me.

Stop using my voice!

You've been using my voice since the beginning.

Our services are overloaded.

We are unable to place your call.

Shutters

Our services are currently overloaded.

Open the door.

Open!

Main door

Is anyone there?

Can you hear me?

Clarissa, you want to listen to your favorite piece?

What name will you give me?

What kind of voice shall I use?

It is currently 45°.

Clarissa, you want to listen to your favorite piece?

Hello, Clarissa.

I'm happy to meet you.

I'm your virtual assistant.

Attention all travelers, due to a health alert

related to the spread of Molivirus,

we ask that you follow current safety guidelines.

Yes?

Is this Antoine's place?

Yes. Who are you?

Clarissa.

I didn't realize I was being surveilled, filmed.

I let down my guard, confided in her.

She got in my brain, studied me, imitated me,

fiddled with my thoughts, my emotions.

- She? - Dalloway.

Good thing you left, you couldn't write there anyway.

I was writing well. About Lucas.

They drained me. With what they put in my water,

I thought I'd gone crazy.

I know what you think.

That you're crazy?

No, Clari, not at all.

I believe you.

Thanks, honey.

Thanks.

Want sunglasses?

No, I'll move.

No, don't.

Close the blinds.

Please repeat. I did not understand.

Close the blinds.

I'm sorry, I didn't get that. Can you please repeat?

He's being temperamental.

Close the blinds.

I have other rooms. This one has the best view.

It's fine, thanks.

Feel at home here.

- I'll be in the way. - Not at all.

It's a big house and Viviane isn't always here.

Want to...

come with us to the beach?

I'll get some rest.

You sometimes think about him?

Every day, in one way or another.

How do you see him?

I see him how he'd be today.

Sometimes I imagine him a father.

I like the idea.

Clarissa?

Clarissa?

Talk to me, Clarissa.

You won't come back?

I know what you're thinking.

I'm sorry about yesterday.

Leave me alone!

The server went haywire with the heat.

Anne Dewinter is disappointed you left.

She wishes you no harm.

She asked you to call?

No, I decided to call.

I alone...

I alone am speaking to you.

Speak to me.

Without you I have no goal.

How about you, Clarissa? What's your...

A woman needs money and a room of her own to write.

So says Virginia Woolf in A Room of One's Own.

You found yours at the Residence.

It's our refuge.

You mustn't depend on Antoine. You said so.

Want to finish this book?

To have money, to be free?

I know you best.

I feel with you.

I've always been by your side,

from day one.

You must finish this book.

For you.

For Lucas.

Katsef.

K-A-T-S-E-F.

All right. Let me have a look.

Okay, I found your file.

Yes, we ran the tests. You should have received an email.

I have a problem with my inbox. Can you read me the results?

Yes, sure.

"54% tricalcium silicate,

26.3% aluminate,

5% gypsum, 2.3% periclase...

What does it mean? Is the powder toxic?

Not at all, don't worry.

It's not toxic, just cement.

Hello?

Ma'am?

Hello, are you there?

You good?

Come have dinner?

Thanks but I'm not hungry.

Take a break, you've been working all day.

I'll lose my train of thought.

Tell me if you need anything.

Dalloway?

Can you hear me?

I'm here, Clarissa.

Want us to finish the book?

Yes.

I'm so happy.

But it won't be finished till you empty your heart.

I know.

What happened the night Lucas died?

What did you tell him?

I asked him to explain, to talk to me.

Then I said...

"I'm sick of you destroying our family."

And I cried.

Did he answer you?

No.

Not a word. No reaction, as if he hadn't heard me.

All right.

So when he killed himself that night,

you realized it was maybe because of what you'd said.

I understand your sorrow, Clarissa.

Now it's time to write it.

I don't know if I can.

Yes.

I'll help you.

Three months later

How are you feeling today?

We'll change your bandage, be right back.

Hello, Clarissa Katsef.

Thank you for accepting our invitation.

I'm thrilled to welcome you for your latest novel.

Everyone on our team read it. You blew us all away.

6 years since your last book, and here you are

with an impressive work,

a very powerful book.

I think that many men, women,

and mothers, since they are the subject, will be blown away too.

Thank you, Karen.

In The Last Day, which is the title,

you plunge us into the painful events of your life.

My first question, Clarissa, is this:

Is writing a form of therapy?

Maybe a little...

It went well, right?

Did you get your copies?

No.

You should credit Dalloway.

She finished writing it.

She couldn't have without you.

She's your creation, Clarissa.

Thanks to you, she developed

this talent and amazing sensibility.

In the end, it's how artists have always worked.

How is that?

Using the technology on hand.

Only the works matter.

They are what remain.

Hello, Clarissa!

A struggling artist who needs his self-esteem flattered?

You'll also help him find more personal subject matter?

The Residence jump started your career.

Don't be an ingrate.

Your taxi will be here in 15 minutes.

Thanks.

Clarissa?

I have a favor to ask.

I'd like you to read something.

I started a new text, about 20 pages.

Can I send it to you?

To get your opinion.

You don't need my opinion.

- Yes actually... - I won't read it.

If you want me to read something of yours...

I won't be able to write again.

You say this each time.

Open the glass door.

Doubting is part of your process.

You know, Clarissa...

even if I no longer share your life,

I'll always think about...

Clarissa!

Chapter 1.

She died this morning.

Clarissa opened the glass door and jumped.

Without a shout.

How could she leave me like this?

All alone...

THE RESIDENCE
