Original subtitles

For 15 years, everyone believed Jean-Marc Faure.

His wife, his parents, his friends.

There are worse things than being caught, and that is not being caught.

This film is inspired by a true story.

Christine?

Where is this house?

At the edge of town.

There are three rooms upstairs.

-Will you tie my hair? -It's cheap, it might not last.

-No garden? -No, there's a big one with a cherry tree.

-Want to see it? -Yes.

Let's go, kids, we're late.

Vincent, you've been eating your corn flakes for 15 minutes.

-I'm not done. -Hurry up.

Let's go.

All right, let's go.

Wait!

-Are you picking me up tonight? -I have a long day. I'll call.

See you tonight. Study hard.

Late, huh?

You never know when you'll get stuck in traffic.

You didn't shave.

My appendix burst at 4 a.m.

Did you see the mural the kids made? The solar system and the angels…

I'll check it out it tomorrow.

There's a new radiologist couple.

-That's nice. -They want to meet you.

You, the brilliant scientist. Shall we have dinner?

I'll call Christine.

Bye!

She said you're looking for a house?

Don't start too.

Hello. Thank you.

We are seeing, in countries where HIV is more common,

an increasing incidence of tuberculosis.

And it certainly appears that HIV is a major risk factor.

Now, for tuberculosis, if this trend continues,

we anticipate that in countries where HIV is more prevalent,

such as Sub-Sahara and Ethiopia…

Sir, this room is reserved for a meeting. It doesn't open to the public until 5 p.m.

We're closing, sir.

You lost! Did you wash your hands?

-See you on Sunday. -Really?

-We'll see. I'll tell him. Bye. -Slut.

Who taught you that word?

He wants you to see his cousin at the Gex hospital.

-In stomatology? -Yeah.

You should talk to the surgeon.

I wrote down the name.

Dr. Zurcan.

Are you listening?

Yeah.

I'll go see him.

What's this?

A Japanese colleague gave it to me.

"Come. I didn't know about the magic water."

"I only wanted to make fireworks. And I want to…"

-Go to bed. -See, I can read in the dark.

First, I want to say that…

This…

For you, Christine, and the kids…

Because I love you. Because you're the center of my world.

All these years have passed so quickly. I always thought I'd have time or…

that there'd be a way.

I'll try to explain everything, starting when…

all of this began.

Our religion says that it's never too late for forgiveness.

It also says we can't take our own life.

Everything I did…

So did you go see the house? Christine's asked twice.

I'm slammed.

-What can I get you, sir? -Apricot pie for ten, please.

-Right away. -Thank you.

You're gonna end up sounding like a cheapskate.

Or you have an expensive mistress?

You can't let your family live in a 50-square-meter house!

How much longer?

I assume we won't see you at mass?

I'm counting!

What are we playing?

-This. -Very good.

-I'm white. -Let me think.

When is the wedding?

May 12th.

Jean-Marc, should we do lunch at Rabette's or at Girard's in Annecy?

Up to you. But perhaps Rabette's, for the lake. And it's just better.

You're right, it is better.

Jean-Marc has decided.

Want some?

-He wants a Mercedes! -So what?

Are you trying to show off? To whom?

No one. It's a common model. It's not a Rolls-Royce.

A Mercedes!

I'm entitled to a whim.

I need to talk to you. I need to withdraw some money.

110,000 francs for the first draft.

Between you and I, I want to split it.

I'd like it for Xavier's wedding. We should go to the Geneva bank.

If you'd like.

But I'm not touching the capital.

You told me it amounted to two years of interest.

I'm not going to take out a loan.

What's going on?

I'll call to make an appointment to go together.

Well? Did you fall?

Regarding your discovery, we will have to find a solution.

You're not too generous with us. Perhaps you have other accounts.

Do you have a minute?

No, I'm going to Dijon.

You'll have to come back, then.

See you soon.

Miss, I'd like to withdraw 5,500 francs from my parents' account, please.

-Do you have the signature? -Of course.

-You'll have to excuse me, I'm new. -Don't mention it.

Are you going to Bourg-en-Bresse?

No, Lyon.

Jean-Marc. Jean-Marc Faure!

-You don't recognize me? Michel Philippot. -Of course. How are you?

I wasn't sure if it was you. Are you on vacation?

I had some errands to run in Lyon.

Come to my office!

Aren't you gonna get that?

-I hear you're teaching at Besançon? -Dijon.

So you know Lentier? He's a neurology lecturer in Dijon.

-I've run into him. -That's funny.

We share an office.

I took over my father's office. We treat minor depressions.

-You're from the Jura mountains? -Yeah.

We've given you enough trouble already.

-Your father was a… -Lumberjack.

Your parents must be proud.

I bet I still have a college photo here.

Tarar, Benel, Luc, Arbousier.

I don't see you.

Yes, old man!

Do you know Jean-Marc Faure? He's a lecturer at Dijon.

We went to college together at Claude Bernard.

Hello.

I don't believe we've…

I've met you. You work with Zylberstein.

I've been in the annex since the floods.

We can't enter via Tisserand Street anymore.

We can't even access the library anymore.

Yeah, it's such a mess right now!

Doctor, Mrs. Perrin is here.

We'll meet again.

I'm right there.

Where were you? Your voicemail wasn't working.

I almost called you at WHO.

She was worried.

Your voicemail isn't in Fort Knox!

-Want something to drink? -I'll take a whiskey.

That's what you love about him. His knack for secrecy.

Isn't that what caught your eye?

Yeah, maybe so.

I must be too square.

-Are you staying for dinner? -No, thanks.

How did it happen, exactly?

I don't know anymore.

By the end of the summer, you were engaged. And I…

Jean-Marc!

That's probably my father. He's already called twice!

Going on about his Mercedes story.

Answer!

They tore down everything on Juzy's side.

Trees that weren't even 30 years old.

Elitists with some diploma who know nothing about the forest.

But I'll report it. I'll write to Gex.

It's pointless.

Here, Mom. I brought it for you from Holland but forgot last time.

It's beautiful.

I looked, but I couldn't find Rotterdam on the map.

It's here.

Come here, dog.

-I don't have much time. -It's ready.

Is your second pension fund quarterly?

Yes.

We don't see Christine very often.

We can't enjoy the grandchildren.

She's unsettled by the forest. We'll come see you in September.

You should come when it's cool.

You're the ones who never wanted to move.

You wanted to rest?

What time is it?

Nearly 4.

Shouldn't you call work?

Did someone come into my room?

No.

Oh, yes! We had the outlet fixed.

We didn't touch your papers.

All those years passed so quickly. I always thought I had time.

I thought there would be a way to…

What we don't know how to say…

You've reached Marianne Malartre. Leave a message after the tone. Thanks.

Marianne?

Are you there?

Pick up, please.

Are you there?

I don't know what came over me.

I don't know how it's come to this.

You don't need to be afraid of me.

I didn't want to hurt you.

Thanks.

Yeah, Thursday. I can't come, I'm at the pharmacy.

You can see the arteries better.

I think in a few years angioscans will replace arteriography.

It shortens vascular subtractions.

At St. Joseph's.

I don't want a religious school.

Religious education isn't mandatory.

Not at all. Freedom. We have a pretty picky director.

Maletras. You'll meet him.

-No restraint whatsoever. -Seems like a natural evolution.

We could control TB cases…

That's likely. I haven't researched it, though.

A cigarette.

In more barbaric times, I used to inject them in the neck.

That's pretty. Is it silk?

Yes, but I wanted it in black.

You have to come to Chicago at the end of November.

It's so cold you'll have to bang the whole town.

It's impossible to dress up here.

Look. It can also be worn like this.

-It stays on its own! -Hon, what are you doing?

Why don't you get naked while you're at it?

That's provocative in front of the men.

Well, it looks nice on her.

-So, have you gotten used to living here? -So-so.

I don't know why, but when it gets dark, I get anxious.

That's the PG version.

I would have buried her alive in that hole.

Because I wanted to drive back to Paris.

I have a runaway wife. She comes, she goes. As she pleases.

You'll see there's a lot to offer here. We'll show you around.

-I like Divonne. -And his casino.

When I lose 2,000 francs, I'll stop.

While I work and sit in meetings.

You're being stupid!

Of course, it's stupid. It's completely stupid.

-I'll make some coffee. -No, I'll do it.

I'll help you.

I didn't show you pictures of the picnic!

-Show me! -When we both swam.

Your wife is pretty.

-Thank you. -I'm not saying you're ugly!

Tell me, why can't we be with the type of women we're hot for?

You don't ask yourself that question. You're a man of duty.

A straight, traced line?

I can't find the cups.

Is there any wine left?

Yeah, there's white.

WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION

Sir?

I have a meeting with my son-in-law, Dr. Faure.

Okay.

-What was it? -Faure, F-A-U.

DIRECTORY MANAGEMENT

Are you sure that's…

Excuse me, I had a meeting that ran late.

No problem. I was worried.

-Shall we grab a drink? -Yeah.

Thanks.

It's a real concourse in here!

-Christine never came? -No.

-Did they warn you this morning? -Yeah.

How do they live with themselves? We had an appointment, I'm going!

The guy who manages your account had to go to Zurich.

-I'll call him back tomorrow. -You told me I had access when I wanted!

We need him. It's a shame to withdraw it now at 18 percent.

-I thought the money was for your kids. -I'm not stealing from them!

What do I care? Now I'm upset.

I'm not gonna yell.

What's that?

A fishing magazine. I brought it for you.

Tomorrow.

Tomorrow, there's a costume party at school.

So let's go on Tuesday.

I don't know what time it is in Oslo.

I'll pack you two sweaters.

The children will be disappointed.

Why are you home so late?

The guy in charge of communications had a family problem.

You haven't prepared anything.

No, but I'll work on the file on the plane.

Do you know where you're staying?

No, they're picking me up at the airport.

Why are you packing so much?

I want to see your father this week. Tell him I'll call him back.

Hello, Mrs. Faure.

Hello.

You're a way better swimmer than me.

I don't like swimming pools. I like the sea. Saltwater.

I've only been to the ocean twice.

You don't travel with your…

-Jean-Marc? -Yes.

Not often, no.

He's not afraid to leave you alone?

No, I'm more of the worrier.

That he won't come back?

No…

That he'll get lost.

Children, come! Snack time!

Hey, Luc!

The impenetrable fortress!

I don't like his bathing suit. Let's buy him a thong.

He hasn't left his room for two days.

I get off work in half an hour. Can I clean the room?

You can stay if you want.

Hello, sir.

Are you going to Norway?

Yes.

I went to the Museum of Fine Arts and returned to the hotel.

Did Alice get her vaccine?

No, Oslo's pretty.

There's a large main street, Karl Johans gate.

But it was chaotic.

Can you hear me? I can't hear you very well.

What the hell are you doing here? Come in!

I don't have the money.

I wanted metallic gray. But the wait was three months!

So I took the blue one. Midnight blue.

We have a meeting at 4 in the garage.

I don't have the money.

With the money left,

I'll make a swimming pool for the children.

Come on, let's go.

Did you see?

I'm almost finished up there! I had to reinforce the whole frame!

We have a minute. Come on, I'll show you.

This gets rid of the workshop downstairs.

This will make me happy.

Go up and see. I'll have two large windows installed.

I ordered them.

Watch out, don't walk to the left. It's not raining.

There's nothing behind them!

You should take care of Christine and your children.

Why do you say that?

We can't get the car.

Don't start that again!

Why?

Why?

What's wrong? Are you sick?

I don't have the money.

What do you mean?

Why? Did you gamble it?

Did you gamble it?

Are you fucking with me? Where are you? I can't see you!

We turned right eight times, and left six times.

No, left ten times.

Dad, Alice is pushing me!

Stop it, Vincent!

Dad, how many miles have we gone?

Seven or eight.

Are you sure this house isn't too expensive?

We're driving in front of a tennis court.

Vincent's cheating! Where are we, Dad?

-St. Martin? -I'm telling you nothing.

Vincent!

-Dad! -Vincent!

Dad!

Vincent!

Alice!

Christine?

Anybody there?

Jean-Marc?

I'll go look around.

Christine?

The cherry tree fell!

The remote even works from the kitchen.

Is it expensive?

I don't know, it was already installed.

When will we see the donkey?

-I don't know, honey. -Easy.

They're not too exhausting?

No, they're just excited.

Can we see the donkey now?

He's tied up. He won't move.

We'll go later.

This chandelier is beautiful.

Jean-Marc's boss gave it to us.

I can't decide. Help me choose.

I like that one.

How does Mom seem? Better?

When there are people around, it's fine.

But when she's alone, she cries for hours at a time.

I call her every night.

How did Jean-Marc decide on the house all of a sudden?

He's considered it for a while.

He knew time was passing.

I miss our Frette house.

You agreed to sell it.

We weren't going keep the house where Dad died.

He did a lot of work there.

1,3 million at 18%, isn't that around 240,000 francs a year?

Just about, yes.

You invested it. You should know.

And the amount before his death is on the same portfolio?

Yes. That hasn't changed.

Because we never see anything. No piece of paper, nothing!

If you want the money, you manage it.

You know very well that's not my domain.

We aren't going home, are we?

Let's get one last drink!

We have work tomorrow.

I do too!

Such a rush back to the doghouse?

On top of that, I have to bang this piece of shit!

Relax!

It's one thing to be dumped, but damn!

An evening with married couples is punishment.

You'd have to be masochistic.

Fuck, you're such a headache!

-You're the annoying ones! Shit! -Where he's going?

Rémi!

We can't leave him alone.

Rémi!

They toyed with separating so often, and now he's unhappy.

Did you answer her letter?

Did I tell you she wrote me?

I think she's happy in Paris.

Why are you driving by the lake?

To change it up.

Your floor's lights are on.

The third floor? The lights are on.

Must be night cleaning.

The jewelry he gave you during your affair.

There was this ring too.

I've lived in Paris since the divorce.

They came to see me with his wife.

We had tea at my house.

I mostly spoke with her, Christine.

I was quite close with her then, but not with him.

I barely remember him being there.

And then I get this huge bouquet of flowers.

How long after?

Ten days.

Magnificent flowers. I was very surprised.

And he invites me to dinner.

I have a date with Mr. Faure.

Right this way.

Good evening.

Good evening.

Do we kiss? I don't know anymore.

Thank you for the gorgeous flowers!

The weather isn't nice enough to dine on the terrace as planned.

-Are you doing well? Yes.

-Christine didn't come? -No.

-Are you staying here? -Yes.

-What is your conference? -Cellular surgery.

There's a lot of money at stake, hence the sponsors.

The ministers are begging. It's fun to watch.

But it's shocking in the health field.

It is the way of the market, like everywhere else.

We meet interesting people. Someone like Kouchner, for example.

He does a fantastic job.

You know him?

We became… not friends, but we see each other regularly.

He's controversial because he's forthright.

But these days you have to be high-profile to be heard.

-I always liked the guy. -I can arrange dinner with him.

I didn't realize you did this kind of work.

That you knew these people. It was delicious.

In Ferney, you were always modest and discreet.

Sir, another bottle of champagne?

-Sorry? -We already finished this one!

-Perhaps a half? -Only full.

A bottle.

-It's hot in here. Yes.

You're sweating!

-Do you want one? -No.

I have my cigars.

Thank you.

Maybe we could see a show together.

I don't have much time.

I leave work at 8, there are the kids…

As I understand it, you have plenty of time.

What are you doing over the holidays?

I don't know. Rémi will take the children for three weeks.

I'll wait to make up my mind.

I love you.

I didn't just hear that.

Having dinner together is great, but…

But you're right.

I care about Christine.

-What kind of reputation do I have… -It has nothing to do with that.

It's for you.

What's this?

For you to forgive me.

No.

Yes, look.

No…

No.

It's very beautiful, but I can't. No.

Up until then, there was nothing between us. I forgot all about him.

When he came to Paris, we had elegant dinners.

But he was very discreet. Sometimes he would bring a gift.

But he still had a lot of interests. We talked about everything.

But he never…

I'm tired. You make me drink…

It was good, but Jamain's is more refined.

Tomorrow: diet.

-Good evening. -Good evening.

-Did it go okay? -Yeah, they fell asleep early.

-Here. Thank you. -See you on Tuesday. Yeah.

-Good evening, sir. -Good evening, miss.

She'll assume…

I don't care.

Are you going to stay here after all?

I hope so. I'm subletting from my aunt.

Are you going to drive all night?

I don't know how you do it. If you're tired, take breaks.

Call when you come back. I'll see you soon.

Can I sleep here?

Yes, if you want… There's a room down the hall.

I don't know if there are blankets. Yes! In the closet.

I'll let you do it.

What time is it?

Six o'clock.

-You didn't sleep? -No.

I feel like I can talk to you about anything.

The other men and I never exchanged more than three words.

Did you know him?

Yes, in Lyon. In college. We studied medicine.

And you become friends.

He was even your best friend, one might say.

And what was he like at the time? Behavior-wise, was he…

Reserved. Smart.

Shy, in some ways. I always wanted to protect him.

You were together during your second year.

Yes.

He didn't show up to the exam.

During this second year, do you remember, had something happened…

No.

Maybe a quarrel with Christine. It didn't last long.

After all those years studying together, he doesn't attend an exam.

You see each other nearly every day, yet you don't notice anything.

No.

He re-enrolls indefinitely as a second-year. And you…

And when you got your exam scores back, you never checked for his.

No. We studied together. He was better than me.

Why wouldn't I have believed him? Everyone believed him.

What did he claim to do at WHO?

Director of cardiology research.

How did he get in?

He applied directly to one of his former professors who ran the lab.

Are you a doctor? You never went to see him at WHO?

I asked him once or twice. He said yes, then he avoided it.

No questions? No doubts? You didn't see a thing.

Maybe I didn't know how to listen to him.

I tell you I feel like I'm dying, and say it's fine.

-I can take you to the hospital. -No, you're probably right.

-It must be fine! -Quiet, the children are asleep.

Don't you have any alcohol?

You seem really agitated.

Yes, perhaps. For good reason.

Do you want to talk?

You want to talk, huh? Careful.

Hold on tight, because this will make you faint.

It's two o'clock, I'm exhausted.

I've wanted to tell you this for a long time.

It was our second year, after the exam results.

You were in Amphi B. There was music, sangria…

Remember?

Why are you bringing up college?

I arrived, and you shouted to me from afar,

"So, did you get it?"

By that time, Christine and I weren't together anymore.

She didn't want to see me anymore.

We…

Is this about a woman?

No. Well, actually… no.

I don't know! You're in Paris all the time.

No? Marianne? Is it her?

Is it her?

Why not?

Because she's not worth the trouble.

-You've no idea what you're talking about. -You're ruining your life for that bitch?

-A slut! -That's barbaric!

-I know her. -Don't speak to me like I'm ten!

I don't give a fuck about your morals! Who do you think you are?

Do you think your life is the universal model?

You're going to be very unhappy.

It's the only real thing in my life.

What are you waiting for? A permission slip? My approval?

I don't believe it for a second.

So get that out of your head before…

And don't tell me that she loves you. I won't believe you.

You can talk to Christine about it. She's smart. She'll understand.

It'll help you get past this.

What the hell is going on up there?

What was the Amphi story you wanted to tell me about?

Never mind.

…the end of my second year of college.

I already passed a few tests…

I woke up and got dressed for the physiology exam.

And all of a sudden it felt like there was something inside me…

that collapsed, fell.

I couldn't walk or move.

I let the hour pass. I couldn't go.

At school, at…

I'm not a doctor. I don't work at WHO.

When I leave home, I don't go anywhere.

I drive, I pull over, I wait.

And now that I'm no longer…

I don't know if my death can save us…

Dad, they're looking for you. They want to leave.

Yes, sweetheart. I'm coming.

Shall we have another?

-Last one. -Three scotches.

And you?

Malibu.

Got it?

I think so.

Don't pester him about the necklace!

I saw Marianne in Paris. We're talking to each other now.

She's still the same.

She seems madly in love, like some kind of schoolgirl.

When she's in love, her neck is sweaty.

You fucked her too, right?

No, sorry to disappoint you. Sir, the Malibu!

She's been seeing another one for quite some time, a doctor.

She's quite involved, but not easygoing. The guy seems to piss her off.

There. It should hold.

Thanks.

I didn't want to come. I know you like it, but…

I think we should stop seeing each other.

Like this, anyway.

This can't go on anymore. It's over.

Because you're sad.

I'm not sad with you.

I know you're trying, but there's something sad in you, something dark.

You're kind, but I can't be with someone who has this sadness in him.

I'm not strong enough for that.

We can still go for a boat ride.

I don't know if the renter will be there.

What's going on?

-I had an accident. -An accident?

Where? Tell me.

A car hit me. I hit a guardrail. The impact ejected me.

The car rolled three times.

The car's right there.

It was a company car.

A chopper took me to the Lausanne hospital.

Why didn't you call me?

I lost my briefcase.

Did they treat you? You're bleeding!

It must have opened up.

-Did you come back for the car? -Yes.

There are scratches.

Did you hit some gravel?

Or did the windshield burst?

It needs alcohol.

I'm not done.

Hurry up!

Alice!

Hurry up, kids, we're late!

Is Dad sick again?

No, he's resting.

Emmeline! Will you take them? I'll be right back.

I'm heading out.

You didn't write me a check for their lunch.

Tomorrow.

Christine!

What are you looking for?

I don't know.

I didn't know you were going home tonight. I'm only on a short break.

It's nice you came so quickly.

Deliver this to Lange.

-Some coffee? -Sure, I'd love some.

-You really can't grab dinner? -No.

Too bad.

My big brother… You seem to be doing well.

I had a bad patch, but I'm better.

Come, let's sit.

Your dentist?

It's over.

-Are you mad at me? -You know I'm not.

-Do you ever see Rémi? -Not often.

We sold the practice.

Decent price?

Not bad. I got 9,8 million.

That was what I wanted to talk to you about.

-Any guesses? -No.

Come on!

Please, no.

-Do you have a cigarette? -Careful, the boss comes in at 2.

You said that in Geneva…

No.

I would really appreciate it. Please!

The guy I knew is gone.

Your family's money is still there.

I don't handle the investments anymore.

You can do this. It's only for a little. I might need it in a few months.

As soon as I decide to buy.

How do you wish to pay?

The first payment in cash. Go ahead and check. Should be 100,000.

Vincent, get out of there.

Did he buy it new or used?

New.

I wasn't really for it.

Where's the dog?

It's you!

No, you did well.

I was absent.

Did you memorize your poem?

That kind of withdrawal is complicated.

This is the standard process.

I'll settle this tomorrow and call you.

We can put the bent ones anywhere.

Pull out the withered ones. We'll put them over here.

It's you! Thanks for calling me back. No, I haven't slept.

Hold on, take it easy. I didn't mean to upset you last night.

I don't remember that. If you say so, I believe you.

Let's forget all that. Yes!

I'll do it. I'll see someone.

Yes.

No, I'm alone.

At her mother's house.

They're playing in the garden.

Is it dark already?

I can't hear you very well.

Marianne?

Were there any signs that something had changed in him?

I don't know.

The last three months, I cast him out and I was angry.

Angry? Why?

Because of some bullshit.

Our children's school is private. Catholic, if you will.

There was a mismanagement issue with the principal.

He was also having an affair with a kindergarten teacher.

That went on right at the office.

So for better or for worse, we fired him.

We voted, and Jean-Marc agreed to the dismissal.

The next day, Christine started a petition against the dismissal.

We didn't catch that. What's your vote?

Okay. Thanks, everybody. See you on Monday.

-They fired him? -Yes.

Not the slightest understanding of a human problem.

Just like the book of Job, the scapegoat.

Judged, sliced, decapitated. Who are they to judge?

You gave them your vote.

Yeah, but it was just me.

I don't like it.

It's disgusting. Luc is an idiot! Was Emmeline there?

No.

This is Christine.

I am beside myself, and it concerns everybody.

They all voted to dismiss Maletras. Except for Jean-Marc.

Yeah, we won't let it happen. We'll start a petition.

Are you still upset with Luc?

Not really, and I don't feel like talking about it.

I didn't think everyone would be so obsessed.

How many signatures?

Fifty, or more.

Not bad.

It's almost a civil war.

See you later.

See you later.

Mrs. Faure.

-Yes. -I haven't introduced myself.

I'm Mrs. Xinning.

My husband works at WHO, like your husband.

-Yes. -Jean-Jacques tried to get in touch.

He searched the company's directory, but he couldn't find him.

-That's why I came. -This year's?

I'm not sure.

Look, he's in there.

Did you want something from the pharmacy?

No.

Then you'll excuse me.

-Do you like him? -Yes, I like him!

-When already? I want a date. -Early January.

Early January!

I can't go to Paris before the holidays.

This is where we first had dinner.

No money talk between friends. I'm not hungry anymore.

So when?

Kouchner invited me to dinner, a Saturday of my choosing.

Want to come?

Where?

Near Paris, in Fontainebleau.

Who will be there?

It'll be intimate. His wife, surely. A friend or two.

Do you prefer the 16th or the 9th?

The 9th.

Christine!

Christine!

Get in the car. I'm coming.

Are you burning your papers?

Come on, Virgin Mary!

Someone has to tell you.

When you frown, your nose wrinkles. It's not very pretty.

Alice!

I have to feed everyone.

The donkey annoyed me.

How's the lover of exclusion and oppression?

He's with his parents.

He's ridiculous. He could have just said that he disagreed.

Isn't that what he said?

No. That's the thing.

He voted for dismissal?

Yeah, like the rest of us!

I don't get it, but whatever. There's a statute of limitations.

What's wrong?

He lied to me.

He lied to me!

What's going on?

-Are there any more oysters? -Yes.

-Too much! -Need a hand?

No, thanks.

Do they want shallots?

I don't know.

Leave it, I'll do it.

Are there any cuts with lemon?

There's some drama.

Stop.

They opened everything!

I said after dinner!

Cut it out or go to your room!

Is Luc not coming this year?

No.

-Is he okay? -Yeah.

I saw him this morning.

What a beautiful table!

-Careful! -I'll take that away.

Come on, let's gather!

-Careful with your grandmother. -Jean-Marc!

Stand next to Christine!

-Get closer to Dad. -Come on, a kiss! Yeah!

-Smile! -What do we say?

Merry Christmas!

Cheese!

-Do you know where Jean-Marc is? -We haven't seen him for a while.

Alice! Go find your father.

Everything I've done, good and bad, was for you.

Because I love you.

Because you're the center of my world.

And now that I'm no longer…

I don't know if my death can save us…

Dad, they're looking for you. They want to leave.

Yes, sweetheart. I'm coming.

Mom… How much? Minus 40,000?

No, there's no way.

You had all vacation to do it.

I forgot the t's.

Alice, are you ready?

Almost.

Not two columns.

Don't worry, I'll drop by to see them.

Yes! This morning.

Two tear gas canisters. One or two boxes of bullets?

One.

Do you know how to use the self-defense box?

I think so, yes.

Would you mind gift wrapping each item?

Sure. If you'd like.

I don't have much.

I also need a silencer for a .22 Long Rifle.

He's depressed. Dr. Bertier mentioned an operation.

His glaucoma.

-Are you staying for lunch? -I don't have time.

-Eat something. -I'll make it quick.

We received a letter from the bank.

The overdraft is still there.

It's the same error, I'm taking care of it!

I'll find some books.

Jean-Marc! I'm completely overwhelmed. Come in! Hélène gave birth this morning.

A little girl! So I'm in charge of the children!

-Is Luc here? -No, kids!

Hello?

That's happened three times.

-You okay? -Yeah.

Want me to relay a message to Luc?

Yes…

Tell him that…

Damien, you're diabolical!

I'll go.

Do you think Dad's already at the restaurant?

What's wrong with Mom?

"Meanwhile, the Prince was still in the well."

"The walls were smooth and slippery, and it was impossible to escape."

"Then he saw the fox bend over the edge of the well."

Time for bed.

Your mother is too isolated.

Why aren't you in the WHO directory?

She could spend a few days with us.

What directory?

It appears there's a directory, and you're not in it.

Stop drinking so much.

You never take us anywhere.

We've never seen the WHO Christmas tree.

You make us live like animals.

Something's going on, isn't it? Why aren't you in there?

And all the money you spend…

Our car that costs a fortune…

It's for you.

I don't care. We don't have a dime left.

Who told you?

If you were fired, say it.

Why would I be fired?

Misconduct…

Were you fired or not?

I don't know.

That winter was difficult.

You're not answering!

I can't go on like this.

I'm scared now, don't you understand?

Why didn't you tell me that you voted against Maletras?

It was so embarrassing when Luc told me.

I can't believe you put me in that situation.

It's true. Maybe I haven't communicated well.

Sometimes I don't remember.

Do you want me to go?

Why aren't you in that fucking directory?

-Maybe it's better this way. -What's going on?

I always made sure that you have everything you need.

You're not answering.

It's irrelevant compared to my love for you.

Why aren't you in the directory?

It's too late tonight.

Tomorrow…

I don't want us to get divorced. I love you.

I love you too.

Yes?

Hello, Emmeline.

She's still asleep.

Do you want me to wake her up?

Yes, I'll tell her.

Quiet, Mom's still sleeping.

Can I watch a show?

This one.

The large table was too tall for her. She approached the regular one…

-Red. -It was still too tall.

Then she went to the small table, which was just right.

Goldilocks wanted to sit at the big chair, but it was too big.

She tried the regular chair, but it didn't seem sturdy.

-The little chair was just right. -Green.

Goldilocks eats from the big bowl of soup, but it's too hot!

She tries the medium bowl, but it's too salty.

Yellow.

The soup in the small bowl was perfect.

Yellow.

Goldilocks opens a door and sees three tidy beds in a row.

A large, a medium, and a…

Your hand is cold. I'll get my ruler.

No, stay here.

The large bed was too hard.

Never walk alone in the woods!

You never know what could happen in the woods.

One day, while walking along the edge of the woods,

Goldilocks saw a shiny blue hyacinth.

She took three steps into the woods and plucked it.

A little further, she saw a white hyacinth.

Even prettier than the blue!

You're the one who's hot. You have a fever.

Come, let's check it.

She began to assemble a large bouquet.

But when she wanted to leave the woods,

every path looked the same.

Lie on your stomach.

Here. You know how to do it, right?

How long?

Count to 200. Or sing "Pirouette Cacahuète".

He was a little man, Pirouette Peanut

He was a little man Who had a strange house

His house is made of cardboard Pirouette Peanut

The stairs are made of paper

The postman climbed up Pirouette Peanut

The postman climbed up He broke the tip of his nose

Father Castor, put on your glasses and read everything to us.

Father Castor, what should we take into the forest?

A compass to be able to navigate. Some provisions for the first few days.

Father Castor, tell us a story. How about two stories?

Father Castor, put on your glasses and read everything to us.

Father Castor, tell…

No, let me see the end.

Tell us two stories, Father Castor

Father Castor, put on your glasses And read everything to us

Read us, tell us Yes, one more story

Go upstairs. I want to take your temperature.

No.

Father Castor, put on your glasses and read everything to us.

What has become of the diplodocuses

Can we have a pet dragon

When will the gracious seagull return

Hello, Jean-Marc!

You brought it back!

Your room's air vent doesn't work anymore. It must be the filter.

There's a bad smell.

-Seconds? -No, thank you.

I added some sage from the garden.

What's wrong with the air vent?

The repairman couldn't come today because of the snow.

Why are you making me climb these stairs? I already tried this morning.

Anyway, somebody has to come.

I had unplugged it. It must be short-circuited.

Let's check the grid.

You're stubborn. All this because I tell you it doesn't work.

You make me bend down.

We have to change the it. They'll come on Monday.

I'm here.

What's wrong, dog?

What are you doing in here?

Have you changed the photos?

We haven't changed anything.

What's the matter?

-Did you get it for Christmas? -Yeah.

Come on, stop, Emmanuel.

-Turn down your music. -No!

-Do you like it? -Yeah.

Not too much? I think I'll change my belt.

-Aren't we running late? -I'll serve you.

Jean-Marc, can you come here for a sec?

My hair!

How many will we be there, do you think?

Four or five.

Should I leave it down?

Yes.

-You'll do anything for money. -Monday, I promise.

I'll be there early.

On the other hand, accepting the position means living in Paris.

Your map makes no sense.

I'd get a corporate apartment near Maubert, I think.

I spoke to Christine about it.

I explained it, and we came to an agreement.

We're going to separate. It's for the better.

What will be hard is not seeing the children anymore.

Less, anyway.

You'll never leave Christine.

Try going right.

We've gone this way before.

-No. -Yes, I recognize this roundabout.

-I feel like we're driving in circles. -No.

It can't be this way.

Stop here. There's a call box. Otherwise, we'll be here all night.

Go on!

I don't have the number on me.

What do you mean you don't have the number?

Are you kidding me?

What do we do now? Where are we? We're lost.

It might be in the trunk. I'll go check.

You can't be serious!

Come, I have a surprise.

Now's not the time! Call them!

I have a present for you.

Quit fucking around. This is ridiculous.

Get out for a sec, please.

Close your eyes.

You've got to be joking!

Think about my children.

My children.

What's happening to us?

What's gotten into you?

You attacked me, you hurt me.

You started it. Why would I have wanted to hurt you?

Me?

I think so.

You don't remember what you did?

Sorry. I don't feel well right now. Sometimes I don't remember.

Look at me. No way we're going now.

-We can still go. -Take me home!

Yes, it's late.

Drop me off at a gas station. I'll take a taxi.

Maybe I should call to apologize.

Good evening, it's Jean-Marc Faure. I'm sorry, we won't be coming.

We got lost on the way.

Hello, you've reached Alice, Vincent, Mom, and Dad.

We're not here right now. Leave a message after the tone.

Christine?

He's alive!
