Can you speak up please?

C-L-A-V-E-L.

- Clavel?
- Yes.

- Nino?
- Yes.

So...

You have a treatment plan appointment,

but not here it's...

Sorry, what's that?

A treatment plan?

To decide on your treatment.

I don't have an appointment,
I'm here for my results.

I need them for my sick note.

OK. The best thing is
to see what the doctors say.

It's the ground floor door F.

Shall I note it down?

But...

OK.

So...

Nino Clavel, age 28,
no history in the family.

Father deceased in 2008

aged 44

following an accident,
is that correct?

Yes. He fell down the stairs.

OK. Do you know if his fall

happened after a heart attack?

It was a spiral staircase.

OK, fine.

So...

Let's look at the images again together

and then I'll explain the protocol.

Right, so

we can see the mass clearly

on the side wall of the oropharynx.

This is what is known as
a squamous cell carcinoma

which has taken the form
of an ulcerative budding lesion

on the right tonsillar fossa.

It's spilling onto the veil
without crossing the median line

which is rather reassuring for us.

Am I going too fast?

You don't need
to remember all this.

I'm sorry but I think
there's a mistake.

Sorry?

Maybe my file got mixed up
with someone else's?

You did some medical tests recently?

Because I was suffering from fatigue.

And you were prescribed further tests
for a persistent sore throat.

Yes but it's only when I swallow.

But this week you had

an appointment about the diagnostic,
didn't you?

No.

- You didn't see a doctor?
- No.

Just a minute...

because we've got new software.

I haven't seen a doctor.

Yes, I can't see any report

regarding the diagnostic.

Right.

It's not...?

I'm afraid it is.

Let's start again.

The good news is that it's localised
and hasn't spread.

Your results show that a papillomavirus
is what caused your cancer.

A what?

A papillomavirus.

It's a very common
sexually transmitted infection.

Often it goes unnoticed.

Sorry but I...

I'm not in a relationship.

You most certainly caught it
at the start of your adult life

at the end of your adolescence.

Has your voice changed recently?

Has your voice always been like this?

What are my chances of dying?

Let's talk survival chances.

You're young, you get priority.

You can start as early as Monday.

What we propose is a program me

of 6 sessions of chemotherapy

and then

12 sessions of radiotherapy.

The first session
will be IV, intravenous

and then
we'll insert the catheter later.

Come at 9 am on Monday.
You don't need to fast.

And just to reassure you

you won't lose your hair.

Do you have anyone
who could come with you?

What do you mean?

Someone you've told
about your symptoms.

It would be better for you...

I don't have symptoms.

Come with someone you trust,
someone reliable.

OK?

OK.

Are you going to be OK?

Oh, and Mr Clavel.

Sorry.

One last thing.

A side effect of the treatment is that
it destroys your reproductive capacity.

After the first session, you may no longer
be able to produce sperm.

So we suggest that before starting
we collect a sufficient quantity of sperm

and freeze it

so that in a few years' time
if you want to use it, you can.

As much as you want.

It's not infinite, but that's the idea.

OK.

So take the lift to the 5th floor
to reproductive services.

- What, now?
- They're expecting you.

See you on Monday.

- Thank you.
- Bye now.

FRIDAY

Excuse me,
have you been waiting long?

For about four years.

We had to come back due to a problem
with the freezer storing our embryos.

Oh, I see...

Mr Cavillon!

Hello.

It can be a lump in the throat,
persistent pain in the mouth or throat.

These cancers are affecting more
and more young people in good health.

There are around 15,000 patients
per year in France.

In % of the cases
these cancers are diagnosed late

which means more complex treatment
with long-term consequences.

Mr Gache?

Excuse me...

I've lost my keys, I was sat here,
I'm just looking...

I haven't noticed any keys.

Do you mind?

Mr Clavel?

Mr Clavel still isn't here?

Hello.

I'm really sorry, I'll be quick.

With the staff strike and the works
we've no rooms.

- OK, no worries.
- So I'm giving you this.

It's labelled. Once it's full
you have an hour to return it.

So don't go far away
because with the transport...

- Will you take it?
- OK.

See you later.

Mr Yousef i?

Hello.

- Do you have toilets here?
- Can I get you anything?

- Yes, do you do takeaway?
- Of course.

- OK I'll have a cookie.
- Any coffee with that?

- No thanks.
- Are you sure?

In you go.

Sorry.

Sorry.

Don't I know you?

- Maybe.
- Nino?

- Come with me!
- No, in you go. Nino who?

- Clavel.
- Don't lock the door, OK?

We were at the same school.
In Antony.

Yeah, right.

Sorry, I'm Zoé, Zoé Champenois.

OK.

It's OK if you don't remember.

No, I do! Zoé.

- |Is this your son?
- I had him young.

- How are you doing?
- Yeah, I'm OK.

What are you up to now?

... I'm OK, I...

I'm going to be a dad too.

- Oh. Great.
- Yeah.

Well you'll see. It's amazing.

How about you? What do you do?

Not much right now.
I'm kind of between jobs.

- OK.
- Mummy there's no paper!

Shouldn't you go see if he's OK?

OK, I gotta go.

- It was great bumping into you.
- Really.

Do you need clothes?

- Clothes?
- Baby clothes.

- Sunday I'll be at a car boot sale.
- May 1?

It's cheaper.

Place d'Aligre.

- MUM-EEE!
- Alright. I'm here!

I wanted to ask you if

on Monday, you could...

come with me to a doctor's appointment.

Because I...

it's er...

I need to talk to you about something

because on Monday
I might need you

to come with me...

and I wanted to...

These haven't even defrosted!

- Back in the oven.
- They'll be OK like that.

No they won't.

So... 180, off we go.

Your present should have
arrived in time.

Frankly, something's not right.

- Did you see the concierge?
- I went

but he was out this morning

but it doesn't matter.
It will get here soon.

So what are your plans this weekend?

You're not doing nothing?

I'm going to watch the match
at Sofian's.

I'm away this weekend
if you want to use the house.

It's OK, Mum, I'm going...
I'm not... no worries.

I won't need it.

- But maybe I'll sleep here tonight.
- Really?

You've lost your keys again.

Right...

Twenty-nine, right?

That's what we said.

1,2, 3,

4,5,6,7,

8,9, 10,

11,

12.

So it'll be 12.

Remember my party
when I was thirty?

- When you were 307
- Yes.

What when I was three?

- We remember things at 3.
- I don't think so.

Your dad's fancy dress costume
that night

- still makes me laugh.
- Why, what was it?

How can I describe it...

He was dressed as...

a sort of carp.

Why light them now?

- Why?
- Yes.

- Why am I lighting them?
- I dunno.

To light a cigarette.

You ought to stop smoking.

I've something to tell you.

OK.

I've got to start something.

That's good.

For me.

To...

so that I'll be OK.

Great!

For my body.
So my body's better.

That's important.

To feel good.

So...

It might take a bit of time
but it's so things will be better.

You're transitioning?

What?

You're gender transitioning?

No, it's not that.

Oh, sorry, it's because

that happened to Gabrielle
with her daughter

and I...

- I thought maybe you wanted to...
- No.

I mean I love you,
but it would have been...

- I'd need time.
- Mum, it's not that. I get it...

It's not...

it's not that.

So what is it? What's up?

It's that I...

I've had some medical tests...

And ...

I've got depression.

- You've got depression?
- Right.

OK...

So what kind of tests did you do

so that the results concluded
you've got depression?

Were these tests psychiatric tests?

So what are you starting?
Counselling?

A sporting activity? Climbing?

I don't know.
I just feel a bit empty.

It's nothing.

Yes and of course

you have such a shit job.

Maybe that's what...

They won't be ready.

No, I think they are.

Surely it can't be the prawns.

Or something went off in the freezer?

Can we just stop
talking about food, please?

Sorry.

So what are you so anxious about?

I don't know.

I don't know. Lots of things.

Like I was wondering

how he died.

You know how he died.

Yes.

But...

Did he die instantly?

- Don't you know?
- Not really.

Do you think...

he knew he was going to die?
That he felt it?

What difference would it make?

Have I always had this voice?

What voice?

My voice.

Well I remember
in the maternity ward,

the midwife thought
you had a nice crying voice.

She said: "He cries like a rocker."

And what did you say when I was born?

The first time I saw you?

When I held you in my arms
I was very surprised

because...

I was expecting your eyes

to be tightly closed

and all wrinkly

and that the light would dazzle you.

But in fact, not at all.
Your eyes were wide open

looking all round the room

but without fixing on anything.

And then, well

it was as though

you saw everything
without looking at anything.

Oh dear, what am I going on about?

Right!

Go to sleep now.

Excuse me?

I'll take this, please.

SATURDAY

I've got HPV.

Maybe you should see a doctor.
Nino

What's that?

A postcard.

Do you want a hand with that?

No, don't worry it's not heavy.

It's stuff I'm putting out
to give away.

If you could just open the door.

So you came to leave me a postcard.

Yes.

OK.

You were on holiday
but you forgot to post it?

- So can I read it?
- No.

Please, not now.

So what are we doing?

Are you coming up?

I'll just wash my hands.

Back in a tic.

- Are you moving?
- Yep.

It seems huge here, doesn't it?

You're moving... out of this...

Are you leaving the neighbourhood
or are you

moving in with someone?

No, I'm just moving in with myself.

Is iced tea OK?

- Fine.
- Good 'cos that's all I've got.

I'm going to Montreal.

Montreal?

OK.

To live there?

Yep.

I'm sitting down.

Working with the council.

Social services.

It's not that well paid but

the work's meaningful.

People are cooler there.

More easy going.

That's what I like.

Well done. That's brave.

You're not afraid of the cold?

I've always liked a bit of cold.

True. Sleeping with the windows open.

How about you? What's going on?

Nothing.

It was your birthday yesterday.

Come on.

I didn't call you.

- I didn't forget.
- Really?

Why am I justifying myself?

I remembered when I woke up.

And then I thought, it's a bit stupid

only writing to each other
on our birthdays.

Don't you think?

Either we manage to be friends

and get beyond all that.

Check up on each other,

make an effort.

I don't mean an effort,
know how the other's doing,

meet for coffee,
talk about our lives.

Or we don't do any of that
and too bad,

we don't wish each other
happy birthday.

Maybe, I don't know.

Anyway.

Oh, I saw Sofian the other day.

- He didn't tell me.
- Really?

His hair's grown so much!

Looks like a bush!

He was wearing a silver chain,
it was funny.

It's his new look.

It suits him.

He was looking good.

He's changed,
but it's good to change

sometimes.

Have I changed?

- Is that what's in the letter?
- It's not a letter.

It really is a card.

That's the landlord.

OK, the card.

ABSENT
BACK SOON

- Hey.
- Hi.

- Hey.
- Yeah?

Do you know where he is?
Is he away for the weekend?

Who?

The concierge.

No idea. I don't really know him.

Sorry.

I don't really know him either.

Shit, you wanted to go here?

- I was intending to...
- Oh, shit sorry.

If I take it off now I'll be charged.

- No worries.
- There must be some free spaces.

Or maybe not.

- I'm really sorry, it's just the dosh.
- Don't worry.

Have a good evening.

Oh, are you going to Sofian's too?

Er... yep.

Epic! I'm Raph.

I'm his intern.

- OK. Good to meet you.
- Likewise.

- Is this the place?
- Yep.

- Is it this door?
- Yep.

I hope I haven't missed the surprise.

The surprise?

Oh, it's you, come in quick.

Come on, come on.

I'm not on my own.

There's someone with me.

Oh.

Shit.

Come on in then.

Happy Birthday.

OK you can come out now.

- Alright?
- Great to see you.

- How's it going?
- Cool and you?

Shall I leave the lights on
or black out?

I don't know what to do.

Let's have a hug then, I'm Nino.

Makes more of a party atmosphere.

Is the lighting OK like this?

Yeah, it's great.

- Alright?
- Cool, how about you?

- Happy Birthday.
- Thanks.

- How are you?
- Yeah, really good.

I'll go put this in the...

Just one thing,

if you could put it
in the bottom compartment.

The top one's a bit broken.

You remember me?

- Yeah.
- Mounir.

Yeah, yeah.

Empty your mind bro and have fun.
That's what's important.

You don't have to be
in love with your job

and always smiling at work
to enjoy it.

When I was little
I was really introverted.

My mum was always saying
"Raph, say what you think,

don't bottle things up".

So that's what I try to do.

Hey my love!

- Happy Birthday!
- Thanks.

- I'm so late.
- No worries.

- Isn't he gorgeous?
- Very.

He's a golden eagle.
Just look at his wings.

He's a big boy now!

- Sorry for interrupting.
- No worries.

Raphael, this is Lina.

Raphael's your brother's intern.

- I bet he's a pain isn't he?
- No.

I'll get a drink.

Happy Birthday!

She seems cool.

She's got lots of energy.

What was I saying?

Do you want a drink?

It is your birthday!

I'm jazzed.

You're jazzed?

Let's go for jazzed, then.

So what exactly is
product certification?

It's not very exciting.
I don't know if you really want...

Go on!

I'm asking because I'm interested.
Go on.

I'm always interested.

- Really?
- I promise.

Well basically it's...

making sure that a group of products

are inline
with the technical specifications.

OK.

But what exactly does that mean?

Well, basically it's

ensuring a product meets

what we call "the four S's".

Safety, Security, Service
and Satisfaction.

It's very...

- Technical.
- Exactly. Technical.

But do you enjoy it?

- Yeah.
- Yeah?

Can I ask you what your sign is?

- My sign?
- Oh, shit...

Ah you're a Libra.
Of course it's today!

- That's no surprise.
- Really?

Yeah, you have a little air of...

- in your aura.
- OK.

- And so you...
- I'm Aries.

- OK.
- I'm Aries, you know?

I have to say
I don't know much about signs.

Aries is a fire sign.

We go for it.

You feeling good?

Yeah.

I might head off soon, though.

- Huh?
- Yeah.

- Why?
- I don't feel too well.

- What's up?
- | threw up at my mum’s place.

You know for a while
I've been thinking

it's not good
to listen to yourself too much.

I was listening to this podcast

and they quoted Alain, and he said
something that really struck me.

It was very simple,
don't expect too much here.

The guy was saying:

"the secret of action
is about getting started".

That might seem a bit funny

- but to me it was deep.
- Yeah.

- See?
- Alain who?

Alain.
Alain, the philosopher.

Basically we must get on and do things
and stop agonising over them.

It's pointless.

Like for your party
I agonised for ages

about whether to do it or not.

I was thinking
what if you didn't come

or cancelled at the last minute
because I know you,

or what if no one comes, or it rains
and everyone stays home.

I asked myself so many questions,
it was awful.

And in the end,
all I had to do was go for it.

That was all.

That's how it is.

Come on,
get yourself a drink or something.

Yeah ['ll get myself a drink.

- I have something to ask you.
- Yeah.

A favour. It's...

On Monday.

I have to...

I have to go...

Hang on, hang on.

What?

The girl from work,
I can't let her see me.

- Who?
- I told you. Chloé, from work.

- No.
- Well she's coming.

And by the way,
if by any chance you talk to her,

try to be light-hearted, party mood

because she's always telling me
I'm dark.

So light-hearted.

OK.

Keep still.

I love your T-shirt.

It's really nice.

Thanks.

You know

when you compliment a woman it's...

like a validation.

It's like a form of male domination,
isn't it?

I must say
I hadn't thought of it like that.

You're right. Sorry.

I've had an idea for a while.

I think on the night
of the 4th of August

guys should give up their privileges
like with feudal rights,

you know?

The 4th of August?

Then, we could make a bonfire
and burn bank notes

representing what men earn
for doing the same jobs as us

when you don't work any harder!

Sounds like a very good idea.

I'm totally up for that.

- Really?
- Yeah.

You up for it?

I'm in.

Isn't burning them a bit weird?

Weird? Why?

Shouldn't we give them to a charity?

- It's a bit for the symbol.
- Yep, it's symbolic.

It's like a revolutionary action.
A violent act

with an impact.

Like a romantic gesture.

It's not the act

of giving money to a charity
that'll change society.

Excuse him
he doesn't get passionate about things.

And you do?

Yep.

Everything OK?

Yeah.

Look at that. Beautiful.

Thanks.

Can you go outside to smoke

because there's an enormous terrace
and this is the kitchen.

I'll just finish this
and go outside next time.

Hey thick-head, did you hear?

I asked you nicely to go outside.

Is he serious?

- Or is he joking?
- No, I'm joking.

- OK, for a minute...
- He freaked.

Relax. Lighten up.

A great revolution.

It suits you.

So he's decided to get wrecked.

So be passionate!

Hey! Get out!

That's how you do it.

Is anyone in here? Please, it's urgent.

Oh, Nino, it's you!

Were you having a bath?

It's heroin.

Just joking.

- So?
- Ovarian stimulation.

Supposed to be done at a set time
but I'm shit at that.

- I'll leave you.
- No, stay.

I hate doing it alone.

- You sure?
- Yeah, really.

The thing is...

I'm planning to freeze my oocytes.

Do you know what an oocyte is?
It's an ovum.

Then in a year or two

I'll defrost them
and I'll have a baby.

Don't tell Sofian because
I don't want him telling mum.

- I won't say anything.
- Thanks.

This OK for you?

Lina,
do you want me to do it for you?

- Yeah.
- Really?

Yeah, really.

But ...

- You know what to do?
- No.

It's really easy.

You just stab it in sharply

- then push it in.
- OK.

The famous surgeon
is about to operate.

My little dose of heroin.

So tell me.

Well you see the uterus
is like an upside down triangle

- like a glass of wine.
- The what?

The uterus... idiot.

The ovaries are here.

So I go in here?

Yeah, around there.

OK, here we go.

- Going in.
- Yeah go.

There's just one thing
I worry about, Nino...

I'm doing therapy,
working on lots of things

like my anxiety

and I'm wondering...

- You OK?
- Yeah.

When my oocytes are defrosted,

I'll be more relaxed
as it'll be in a few years' time,

but will my oocytes
be frozen with my current anxiety?

What do you think?

I'd so like my little oocytes
to be at peace.

Done.

- You did that so well.
- Really?

- You OK?
- I hardly felt it.

Well, just a tiny bit
as the liquid went in, but it was OK.

Nino, are you OK?

You're all white.

I'm OK.

Have you had too much to drink?

- Sorry.
- No worries.

Go and drink some water.

- You OK?
- I feel a bit...

But I'm OK.

I'm glad we did it together.

- And Happy Birthday again.
- Thanks.

We had a great time.

See you at work on Monday then?

In theory.

You know I had a burnout too,
in 2017.

It's nothing to be ashamed of.
I learnt a lot, developed reflexes.

For me, it wasn't...

The first thing
is about acceptation.

I take 5 minute breaks
in front of my computer now

to reconnect with myself.

It's true that it changed you.

Are you OK?
That's all the cigarettes in there.

My throat's feels irritated too.
I hate that.

It's not that.

It's cancer.

Goodnight.

Be right back.

What's up?

Have you been sick again?

No, no, I...

I'm sick. Really sick.

Have you taken something?

I've got cancer.

Come on, you don't have cancer.

- I do.
- What kind of cancer?

Throat cancer.

Well, go and see a doctor.

I've seen a doctor.

And what did he say?

She said I've got cancer.

And that I've got to start treatment,
on Monday.

That I'm a priority.

Shall we break up the party?

I mean we're not going to pretend

everything's fine.

We're already all doing that.

So why are you a priority?
Because it's urgent?

Is that it?
Things have to move fast?

Because it's serious?

I don't know.

Well, you'll have to fight.

That's all there is.
But they treat cancer really well now

and you're lucky to be in Paris
where all the top specialists are,

so you have
every chance on your side.

And...

these days it's becoming so common.

I was listening to a professor
who was saying

the real question today
isn't whether we'll get cancer or not,

it's when will we get cancer.

Well for me it's now.

How did you know you've got it?

Are you OK?

- Where are you going?
- Bathroom.

- Do you want me to come?
- No.

I'll wait here for you.

Hello?

Excuse me?

Hello?

Sir, this is to keep you warm.

Mind your arm.

Did we call this in?

Mind the step.

What are you doing?

I'm taking a parcel that's...

- Please leave.
- It's for me.

Because I live here.

Do you know how old he is?

- Sorry?
- His age.

No, I don't know.

Can we contact anyone in the family?

Sorry, I don't know.

What's the matter?

Why are you calling me at 3 am?

Because I...

I got your present.

Oh, that's good. Do you like it?

Will you send me a photo?

Why are you whispering?

Because I'm not on my own, Nino.

That's good.

That's great.

I'll call you tomorrow.

Mum, hang on.

I need to ask you something.

What?

Did Dad say anything

when I was born?

Do you remember
if he said anything?

I think he said

"he's gonna be big."

- Here you are.
- Thank you.

Just a minute,

there's shower gel

and toothpaste.

Is this yours?

Yes.

Careful.
You shouldn't leave this lying around.

- I know.
- The water will erase the label.

Yeah.

I can lend you a hairdryer
if you want.

Do you want some?

- Sorry?
- Do you want some?

Come here.

Is your beard growing?

- Not much.
- It's not the beard that makes a man.

What is it then?

Oh, you know perfectly well.

What makes a man

is the same as what makes a woman.

Would you like to see my wife?

Yes, is she here?

No, she's dead.

Are you done with the hairdryer?

Yes.

Thank you.

In here.

Thank you.

Bye.

SUNDAY

- Hey!

Say hello.

I'm sorry I didn't know

if you'd come so I...
sold all the baby clothes.

OK.

It all went really fast.

No worries.

I'll get something else.

You don't have to.

No, but...

How about this?

A walkie-talkie?

It's a baby monitor.

A baby monitor, OK.

It's practical if your flat's big.

Even if it's not,
it's always good to have one.

I don't have a big flat.

- How much is it?
- 4 euros.

4 euros?

- Hello

Let's see...

I've only got 2.

Well it's 4.

It's OK, he can have it for 2.

Don't you have a note?

Solal, he's a friend.

You can pay with a card.

- You take cards?
- Put that in the box.

- Thanks very much.
- It's yours now.

I think the batteries are OK.

Yes, it works.

Thanks.

I might have a Babycook.

Very handy for cooking.
Do you want it?

If you can't find it, don't...

Can you take these?

Funny, I was sure it was here.

That's weird.

No, it's not there.

- I must have given it away.
- If it's a hassle...

Oh, here it is!

Behind all this.

Are you OK?

Oh, shit.

It's a dinner service...

Must be expensive.

Put that there.

Actually...

I'm not having a child.

OK...

Sorry, I didn't know...

I couldn't think of anything

interesting to say about myself,
about my life.

Right 'cos
having children is so interesting.

I don't know.

I'm so sorry.

I'd better go.

Leave that, don't worry.

Leave it, really.

The thing is,
I closed the door of my flat

with the keys inside,
or I've lost them,

I don't know
but I can't find them.

I thought my concierge had them
but then he wasn't answering and then

I think he had a heart attack.

It's true!

Here, take the brush.

Solal, don't go in the kitchen
with no shoes on, OK?

- So do you want the Babycook?
- What?

- The Babycook?
- I don't know what that is.

Don't you?

What are you painting?

- Snow.
- Snow?

It's beautiful.

Wait, I'll get my scissors.

Solal, don't go in the kitchen.

Solal,

the little white dots,

- the tiny ones, shall I colour them in?
- Colour over them.

OK.

Close your eyes, go on.

Would you like more?

Yes.

- Thanks, this is good.
- OK?

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

- He wakes easily?
- He has nightmares.

Do you like having a child?

Yes, I do.

But it...

It must be hard, isn't it?

It's not hard.

I'd say it's testing.

It certainly builds your character,
you know?

I imagine.

But there's one thing that's very handy.

What's that?

They love you.

- They love you?
- Yep.

No matter what you say, what you do,

who you are, they love you.

Sorry.

Be right back.

- What are you doing?
- I don't want to go to sleep.

It's late, time to be in bed.

Come on.

Have you heard of her?

She's a contemporary artist.

She does kinds of performances.

Like once she sat on a chair
in a museum for 700 hours.

- Just on a chair?
- Yep.

People queued for hours

just to sit opposite her
and stare into her eyes.

What for?

For nothing.

To feel something.

Some people stayed 30 seconds,
others 30 minutes.

Do you want a cigarette?

I'm giving up.

That's good. Me too.

Yesterday at my mum's,
she started to get out

all these photos of me,
school photos and stuff.

What's weird is
for the secondary school,

I didn't see you in any of them.

Whenever I could
I always missed the photo day.

Why?

It scared me.

That whole thing sitting there
in front of the photographer.

- Yeah.
- I hated it.

I remember when your dad died.

Do you?

The maths teacher told us.

He said you'd probably
be absent for a while

but then you came back the next day.

I don't remember.

That really affected me.

I thought you were

so strong.

Mummy?

Oh shit.

Here.

Nino?

Yes?

Can you go, please?

Yeah, sorry it's really late.

Sorry.

No, I mean can you go to him?

Go to him?

Sweetheart,
here he is but not for long, OK?

Just say goodnight.

But I can't sleep.

Come on, put your head here.

No, I'm good like this.

Come on, please, turn around.

Solal, come on now, I mean it.

Don't tell anyone but I...

It's true.

Come on, sweetheart.

You've got school tomorrow, buddy.

Come on guys, this isn't funny anymore.

So, close your eyes.

- Shall I tell you a story?
- No.

Do you want me to read to you?

No I prefer it
when we make stories up.

- Mummy does that.
- Does she?

Solal, not all adults
make up stories.

- No but I can.
- Yes, he can.

Yes, he can, that's true.

So.

This is the story

of a little boy

who...

Who couldn't sleep?

Who couldn't sleep.

A little boy with blue eyes
who loved chasing butterflies.

Is this a poem?

Mummy, shhh.

So

every day he went off
to chase butterflies

of all sorts of colours.

Blue,

green, purple.

Later, he brought them home

and let them fly around his room.

His room, which was, in fact,
quite like your room.

But one evening

just when the little boy
was about to fall asleep

one of the butterflies
came and landed on his nose.

Yes.

And he looked him straight in the eye

and he said

that he was fed up.

He wanted to see the sky,

he wanted to smell the plants,
feel the air.

Then the boy felt sad
because he hadn't realised

that he was preventing the butterfly

from living.

So he got up

and opened the window

and all the butterflies in his room

flew out

making a terrible noise!

There's one here too.

- A foot?
- Yes.

Now we push it.

Then pull it until it clicks.

Now lift it up.

Hang on.

Now push hard.

Not too hard.

Have I broken it?

No, I don't think so.

Oh shit.

Thanks for the tiny glass of water.

My pleasure.

What are you doing?

I'm just

trying it out, it's better like this.

Can I come next to you?

Of course.

- This is better?
- It's better.

- You know ...
- You know...

Sorry.

I'm not sure we can.

We might wake him
and that would be weird.

I don't want to traumatise him.

- You don't?
- No.

That suits me.

Oh, I see, that's nice.

No, what I was going to say is...

It's a long story.

So, tell me.

You're allowed

three sentences.

1,2, 3.

I...

I caught
a sexually transmitted infection

a long time ago.

And it's turned into throat cancer.

I have to start treatment
in a few hours.

I have to take a vial of my sperm,

if I don't...

I won't be able to have children.

But I can't do it.

I've got an idea.

Really?

What is it?

- Can you hear me?
- Yes.

You can put me down.

"How do I look to him?

"She asked herself.

"She got up
and brought a long mirror

"towards the window.
She stood it on the floor.

"Then she sat down in front of it
on the rug and, facing it

"slowly opened her legs.

"She thought it was like the gum plant
leaf with its secret milk that

"the pressure of the finger
could bring out,

"the odorous moisture that came
like the moisture of the seashells.

"So was Venus born of the sea

"with this little kernel
of salty honey in her

"which only caresses could bring out
of the hidden recesses of her body.

"She opened the two little lips
of the vulva

"and she began stroking it
with catlike softness.

"Back and forth
she stroked it as he did

"with his more nervous

"dark fingers.

"How delicately he touched it,

"she thought,

"how he held the vulva
between his fingers

"as if he were touching velvet.

"She held it now

"as he did

"in her forefinger and thumb.

"With her other free hand
she continued the caress.”

I think you need to get going.

Yes, you're right.

I need to hurry.

Thank you.

You know where I am
if you need me.

OK.

What?

I won't lose my hair.

OK.

Sorry, excuse me.

I tried to get in
by the other entrance

- but it was closed.
- Wait your turn, please.

It's not exactly an emergency

it's for reproductive services

- but the main entrance is closed.
- They're closed now.

- Closed?
- Yes, closed.

Come back later, sir.

The thing is...

- What are you doing?
- I have to take this.

I have to get this
to reproductive services

and it has to be now.

So, I don't know if there's a way

to call them,
or see if someone's there,

someone who could

ask them to take it

because if I don't get it to them
in the next 10 minutes,

I won't be able to have children.

I'll see what I can do.

Thank you.

Thanks. Sorry about this.

But keep it in your pocket,

there are children here.

MONDAY

Good morning.

Hello.

How can I help?

I have an appointment.

Come in, please.

- Your name, please?
- Clavel, Nino.

Can I take your medical card?

Thank you.

Go right to the end
and it's on the right.

OK.

The person accompanying you
is already in the waiting room.

See you after.

I was afraid you weren't coming.

Your phone's off, you weren't home,

I didn't know which hospital it was.

So what did you do?

I called all of them.

Sorry.

Are you scared?

Yes.

Mr Clavel?

Which one of you is him?

That's me.

For Romain

May 1?

Just like a newborn.
