Never.
My sister always wanted to go out,
I do not.
It was a beautiful time.
- I want to introduce you to someone.
- No no. no no no.
- It's perfect for you.
- Who says I'm looking for someone?
- She just feels it.
- Finish.
- Dear sister...
- Stop it. I'm bigger than you.
- In ten minutes.
- It's still something.
- I am going.
- Are you leaving already?
In Italy,
and tonight I'm going to Bellini.
I'm going to pack.
Come on, Blanche, get your bathing suit
and come with me The water is wonderful.
- I'll take you home.
- You promise?
I promise.
- Come over.
- I think I look a bit ugly.
- You are naturally more beautiful.
- I don't even have briefs.
All the better.
Come over.
Hello,
do you swim too?
How do you do?
Good evening, Blanche.
Good evening.
You do not recognize me?
Not.
I'm Grgoire.
- Grgoire Lamoureux.

- But you are much more...
- Weaker?
Yes.
Yes it is true.
And what are you doing here, Lamoureux?
But you?
I do not know.
I came because of Rosa.
Do you remember her?
He wanted to introduce me to someone.
To a man who would be ideal for me.
- And you met him?
- Not yet.
I am lucky?
You're funny, Lamoureux.
You will keep telling me
on my last name?
Sorry, that's what you get from a teacher.
Besides, your name is irresistible.
Fox doesn't sound too bad either.
- Are you a teacher?
- Yes.
French language teacher.
You like?
Yes, I always wanted to teach.
- And you?
- I work in a bank.
Very monotonous though
i would have wanted to become a pilot.
- Then why didn't you become a pilot?
- Who knows.
- What are you drinking?
- The water.
But it's vodka.
- Are you an alcoholic?
- Not at all.
If I were,
I would have told you honestly.
The lover would not want there to be secrets.
Nor...
hidden flaws?
- You are the perfect man.
- Exactly.
I am the ideal man for you.
But your sister doesn't know that.
You want to dance?
Come over.
Climb stairs.
Not so fast.
- Be careful or you'll knock her down.
- Excuse me.
- Where did you find it?
- Near the dishes, in the kitchen.
- Or do you prefer tea?
- No, the coffee is very good.
- I always drink it in the morning.
- I thought so.
- No sugar or milk.
- Yes. How do you know?
Because I work for the FBI.
- No, I didn't believe that either.
- Of course.
Thank you.
Okay I'm leaving.
Where are you going?
See you soon.
Yes, see you soon.
- How is Grgoire Lamoureux?
- How is it?
I do not know.
Do you want to see it again?
Yes, but at the same time,
I do not know,
maybe i need more time
Then don't continue.
- But I told him we'll see each other soon.
- And what if you told him.
- But if he calls me.
- Don't answer, that's all.
I have to hang up.
Kiss you.
"I was still seeing her
and I thought I would talk to her.
I even liked her tears
which he poured out."
Don't make fun of me.
This is what I remember from my French lessons.
But I'm not laughing at you.
- Where is the quote from?
- From Britannicus.
And more precisely it is: I really liked them
the tears he shed for me."
You are so Beautiful.
I always wanted you.
Me too.
It's so funny.
Whenever we meet someone,
he always introduces me as his wife.
- What are you saying?
- Well, say this...
while looking into my eyes:
This is my wife.
I like it so much.
I understand this.
- I wouldn't like it.
- She likes.
If she loves him, he loves her too,
but does she really love him?
She annoys me. Now I have a new boyfriend
and she thinks it's not so good.
It's not that, my dear. She says she would
wiser to wait a little longer.
at my age
I don't want to think so much.
I understand you.
I love him.
- I hate love. It ruins life.
- It only makes her more beautiful.
- But you were happy with dad?
- Yes.
- I miss him.
- Do you still think about him?
- Yes of course.
- Often?
Always.
- I love you.
- I love you too.
I love you both.
You dressed very nicely.
- Do you think I like it?
- If you want to strain your knees.
Then I will wear it.
In Paris
Is it romantic?
- Are you going to bring pasta too?
- Yes.
- In all colors?
- Yes.
- And pink pasta for Rose.
- Yes Yes.
You are so lucky.
- He is so cute.
- Don't you want another cutter?
- Do you have a new cutter?
- Do not like?
It surprised me. You look like someone else.
I do not really like it.
It's not that bad.
It will grow back.
- Do you want to make any changes?
- No, no, not at all.
Of course.
I'm such an idiot.
- But it suits you.
- Stop it.
Everything suits you.
You do not believe me?
- Sure.
- Really?
Really.
I want it to stay that way forever.
He was curious.
He asked me what I liked,
what i read
Why do we teach at school?
Why literature?
Why Molire,
why Verlaine, why Musset?
He wanted to know everything about me.
- It's bizarre that you're twins.
- I do not know what to say.
Anyway, you are more beautiful.
- You probably had several lovers.
- Not quite, not exactly.
- You are mean.
- No, this is the truth.
Half is always
better than the other.
Not nearly.
And who is he?
- Is not important.
- No, I want to know everything.
- His name is Louis Gauthier.
- Not.
Sure.
What individual? With that watch.
Show me the photo again.
But no...
Let me just...
I have to tell him something.
Thank you, Louis Gauthier.
Thank you for leaving her.
- Calm down.
- Are you afraid people will hear us?
Yes, I'm talking out loud
because i am happy
I might even scream.
He was unstoppable.
Incredibly tender.
I love you.
I love everything about you.
And I.
I was crazy about him.
Relax,
there is only one.
Gemini often jumps
over a generation.
He will probably have his aura.
Exactly how many weeks along?
In six weeks.
What if I don't want to keep it?
You have six weeks left
to decide.
You are not sure
if you want to keep it
Yes, I don't know my partner
so good.
Then talk to him about it.
It is very important to discuss.
Talking about it takes away your fear.
You are right, of course.
I can not wait any longer.
And you?
Me neither.
- But no. I'm afraid it will bring bad luck.
- Not.
- I swear, I'm superstitious.
- I'll tell them.
- Why?
- She's just my twin sister.
- But we have no relationship with her.
- I have.
Then we'll sleep separately.
Three months is too long.
I can't keep a secret.
- Greg?
- No no no.
- Come on.
- No, I said no.
- We can't go on like this.
- Sure.
- Do you swear?
- Yes.
- Really?
- Really.
Thank you.
Then Greg told me
that he was transferred to Metz.
How does he plan to ship
all these books?
Do you have to take all the cards?
These books are sacred.
This box is good.
- Mom, can I take him with me?
- No, not this one.
Don't you take your dressing table with you?
You always said you adored her.
Of course,
I would like to take her with me.
- Do not like?
- Yes, but it probably won't fit in the van.
- You are right. Sin.
- Too bad.
I didn't say no. We will have to see
if he's going to get in the van.
That's better.
- Won't you regret your decision?
- Stop it.
- We have no choice, you have been transferred.
- Yes it is true.
- What the? What happened?
- Nothing.
- You were just looking at her.
- No, it was nothing.
- I'm sorry, I know you'll miss her.
- You take Blanche away from us.
- And by the sea.
- I exchange the sea for the forest.
- And with love.
- Yes, with love.
And with the cold, too.
It's cold there, isn't it?
- Blanche doesn't like the cold.
- Don't always speak for me.
- Blanche, come. I'll get you some plates.
- Good.
You can choose them too.
To make her happy.
You know you influence her.
She can only be happy if you are too.
Don't be selfish, let it go.
See the horizon
That stands out
you see it clearly
You imagine it like this
This is our new life
Yes, I know
I'm happy
even when it's difficult for me
Let me go
And leave all the memories behind
I understand your confusion
But what awaits us
Now it's much more important
Yes, I know
I already like it
I'm also waiting for our baby
Yes
Our New Life
Start today
A New Life
One way ticket
We're gonna love each other
Till death do us part
We'll live like this forever
Loving each other
So everything was beautiful.
You had no doubts about him?
- Where will you work?
- At the Poincar high school in Nancy.
- Are you happy to be able to go back to work?
- You don't want to know how much.
Even if it's just
until the end of the year.
- And afterwards?
- Well, after that...
They will transfer me somewhere else
or I will apply for a job
full time. They are so selective.
- Is far. We only have one car.
- I can take the bus.
- And what about Stella?
- We can enroll her in daycare.
- Do you know how tiring it will be for you?
- Well, I rested enough.
- Good evening, Grgoire.
- Good evening.
I didn't know you dined here.
- Good evening.
- Good evening.
is she your wife
I am Jrme Vierson.
- The bank manager.
- Of course.
- She is Blanche, my wife.
- Blanche, it's a very beautiful first name.
There are not many women with this name.
You are the only one.
Yes.
You are happy to live in this one
region? You know I put pressure on.
I was born in Normandy.
I'm not from here.
That's why you applied here, right?
No, you got it wrong.
We wanted a different setting.
We were tired of the sea,
of Normandy...
Agree.
- I'll leave you alone.
- Thanks a lot.
- I was delighted to meet you.
- And I.
Thank you.
- It was just a mistake.
- Excuse me, but it was a surprise what you said.
Greg, I don't understand.
Not now.
After we eat.
What do you want, Blanche?
Do you want to go back? Is that it?
Go back to your mother?
I want to understand why you lied.
This is not a strange question.
If I had said: Let's move on.
Then what would you have said?
Yes, brilliant?
No, you know that very well.
I do not understand.
We chose this house together.
I thought you liked it.
I thought...
that we will reinvent ourselves.
in a new place
no history, no past.
When I met you, you were sad.
Distance.
- I wanted you to flourish.
- Far from home, in this dungeon?
Far away from home?
Wait.
What do I mean to you?
I'm sorry I lied to you.
I was afraid.
I was afraid to tell you the truth.
Which truth?
Because I love you.
That I'm crazy about you.
I was afraid of losing you.
Have you ever felt this?
Do you always tell the truth?
Have you never lied or hidden anything?
- I do not know.
- Come on, Blanche...
sometimes you don't agree with me
and you don't talk to me anymore
Maybe not to hurt you.
- Yes, maybe.
- Good.
See. It was just stupid.
Let's be able to talk.
Yes.
I'm really sorry
for what i did
Now you will never believe me again.
Stop it.
I dont say that.
Now that we're honest,
I have to tell you.
Well?
I was not very satisfied with your work.
But it was stupid.
I feel ashamed.
I just want you to be happy.
You believe me?
I do not know anymore.
Good.
- Greg, what are you going to do?
- Call Vierson. We're coming back.
Finish. Greg.
No, I'm resigning.
Nothing. let me...
- Not.
- Blanche, stop.
Let me call him.
You're not happy, so we're going back.
What matters to me
is to be happy.
- Why don't we go back?
- Seriously? Now that I've found a job?
You're going to get used to it
with this life?
With me?
Do you want to get used to me working too?
What do you say?
Not.
I want you only for me.
Of course I'm happy.
I am so proud of you.
Really?
Really.
Slower, she sleeps.
It's good.
I think it's a beautiful song.
That night, I got pregnant
with our second child.
I love you.
Be my echo, repeat, princess.
- Who else wrote this?
- Marivaux.
What are you thinking about?
At U.S.
It rained so hard, didn't it?
Now it is better.
I'm glad it dried.
- I open the gate.
- Good.
- What are you doing?
- I am writing a letter to my sister.
- Do you complain about your husband?
- Why would I complain about you?
Because I'm boring.
- Did he say it often?
- Always.
Dear Rose, I have so much to tell you.
My mind is going crazy.
He read over my shoulder what I was writing.
I don't know why I let him do that.
- Do you want more pasta?
- Hello?
- Why did you hang up on me?
- I had classes.
But you could have called me later, right?
I wanted to, but I sat down to eat.
- I disturb you?
- Not at all.
Sure.
You can just tell me, right?
- You are not alone?
- I was having lunch with Delphine.
I knew you weren't alone.
Move away for a moment, I don't want him to listen.
You prepare dinner for 16 hours until
Good,
I'm alone.
- What time do you come home?
- At five o'clock. Why?
No reason.
I missed you.
Coffee, cigarettes, no food.
- Your husband calls you very often.
- Yes, that's how he is.
- He can't live without you.
- That's it, you're lucky.
- Bye, girls.
- See you soon.
My husband and I have been silent for a whole week. He doesn't need to talk to me.
Sometimes I think I'm like old furniture
for him. Not true.
Laugh, but...
is your husband now a banker?
Is strange,
a banker with a teacher, right?
It's not the same medium, right?
But how did you meet?
- At a party. Not at the bank.
- Could I take you home tonight?
- That way you don't have to take the bus anymore.
- No, I'm leaving early tonight, but thanks.
Again?
Then I will meet him another time
your husband
bye dear I am a mother.
I'm counting on you for Christmas.
Do you know what we're going to eat? A big goose.
You will probably like it a lot.
And the children.
I can't wait to see you.
Yes I am.
You never answer.
You are like a minister. Okay, don't forget
of the meeting at the bank tomorrow.
You got a grade of 6.5.
Not so bad, but read act two.
Do you like seeing other people too?
We feel good together, don't we?
- Bye, dear. Are you coming for Christmas?
- Still do not know...
Yes, Blanche. I would have preferred
to talk to you, but finally...
We are staying here for Christmas.
It's much easier that way.
- Today, Blanche, you cannot go unnoticed.
- How?
First year students
they want to surprise you.
How cute.
They have never had such a friendly French teacher. I'm jealous.
- You teach history.
- Yes, so what? You are their favorite.
- But I have to take my children.
- Greg can take them at least once, right?
Catherine?
- Should I say that my husband forbids me?
- Don't exaggerate like that. I don't forbid you anything.
I can't run away from work, can I?
- I'm working, right?
- I know that.
Blanche.
Come over.
Well then.
You got what you wanted.
- So you take the children?
- Yes of course.
You are so Beautiful.
Do you want to do it?
How?
But no.
Not tomorrow morning.
Does not matter anymore,
you don't have to do it anymore.
You look like a nun in this one
nightgown. How disappointing.
- Don't force yourself, you don't have to.
- But I want.
Not like this.
I hate all men.
Some are mean and wrong.
And the rest are fighting
for the good of the wicked."
I'm sorry. Excuse me.
Without the wholesome contempt which the virtuous
should give it to the righteous.
Very good.
Thank you, Violette.
Pierre.
Behind his mask
we see the traitor.
Everyone knows his true form.
His eyes bulged
and his gentle flattery...
it only impresses foreigners.
This man taken by surprise, by whom
he should be laughed at, he climbed the hierarchy.
The splendor it acquires
it makes merit and virtue blush."
- You're coming to my party on Friday, right?
- Yes.
You really don't want me to drive?
- You look tired.
- I'm tired.
Tired of a night with a lot of idiots.
- You exaggerate.
- So we didn't spend the evening the same way.
You shined like a diamond.
- Do not say anything?
- I have nothing left.
A conversation with me
isn't it interesting?
- Am I not intellectual enough? Is that it?
- Greg, please stop.
- Drive more slowly.
- I can definitely drive a car.
What are you afraid of?
That I'm going to cause an accident?
- You do not trust me?
- Sure.
I trust you.
But what are you doing? Turn on the headlights.
- The road is straight.
- Turn on the headlights.
I know how to drive home. Calm down.
Look how beautiful it is.
- We can see the stars.
- Greg.
Excuse me, I was being silly.
Come on. Focus, this one is difficult.
It is a picture of the whole region.
- With the trees and the roads and the rest?
- With the trees, the roads and the rest.
First look for the pieces in the corners.
Larger pieces are also good.
- I found a corner piece.
- This is not a corner piece.
Sure.
"It was the next day
a gloomy one for Emma.
Everything seemed shrouded
in a dark atmosphere
which floated confusedly above things.
Sadness was growing in his soul
with soft cries,
like a winter wind
in an abandoned castle."
Blanche.
Blanche?
Look who came.
Blanche.
Come over.
Come over.
Children, Rose has come.
This snow doesn't stop.
- What are you doing here?
- I wonder that too.
- He's Tony.
- Hello.
- We have known each other for several months.
- You didn't tell me anything.
When I call you, you're always busy.
Last night I talked to him about you and
I thought it was time to introduce it to you.
- Did you drive all night?
- Yes.
- She kidnapped me. I had no choice.
- That doesn't surprise me, she's dangerous.
Children, come.
how are you kids
Come here, you two.
- Look, I have presents.
- Thank you.
Thank you.
- What's inside? Who is it for?
- For girls.
Okay, I'll make some coffee.
I think they are happy.
Wait.
Here is the fire truck.
- Don't you think it's beautiful?
- Sure.
- He's also smart.
- I do not know. I barely talked to him.
Everything he touches turns to gold.
He is good at everything.
It is so beautiful.
He has class.
I'm in love. I'm afraid of making a mistake.
It got under my skin.
Look at me.
- Are you ok?
- Of course.
My boyfriend took me on a trip
at a fantastic hotel.
The minibar was bigger than
my fridge and such... Come on.
- I was very drunk.
- Obviously.
I ordered all the cocktails
to see if they were good.
- How great.
- It was delicious.
So.
Back then we were chubbier.
- You exaggerate.
- Who is in the picture?
- It's you and mom.
- Yes.
- Here it is more difficult.
- You are this and she is the mother.
Yes very good. I was on vacation.
I don't remember the place.
- In Marseille?
- Have you been there?
- Yes, several times.
- Oh, that one.
- This is where I met you.
- Let me see her too.
You were beautiful, mother.
You haven't changed at all, my dear.
They don't have doors here.
We will have doors with locks.
The next day, everything changed.
Are you leaving?
Should I drive you to the train station?
I give you my car.
You need her more than I do.
By bus it's exhausting.
This car drove him crazy.
As if he believed
that I will leave with her for good.
Blanche.
- Are you crazy?
- You don't answer me anymore?
Strange, these games you play.
It made my life impossible.
Everything had to be programmed.
To consider all expenses.
- What time will you finish tomorrow?
- At three o'clock.
Aren't you staying here?
Like the past few days.
I got a budget for
food and personal expenses.
I was counting down to the last penny.
- Do you have an account together?
- Yes. He said I spent too much
and that it was better and more practical that way.
A full tank of gas for each
three days, driving 80 km a day...
is much.
Maybe the tank is leaking.
A mechanic will check the car.
I was walking on eggshells.
He doubted himself constantly.
We will work less and less.
We can't give them less homework...
Did he follow you?
I didn't want anyone to know.
I was terrified.
Yes Dear.
What happens?
What the?
What do you want to say?
Stella.
Arthur?
Greg.
Children.
Is anybody home?
- Mother.
- I'm here, dears.
Now everything will be fine.
lie down
Greg?
- What happened?
- Calm down.
Please.
I am ashamed.
Why?
I was in the kitchen.
The radio was on and...
They were talking to men and women who had been
victims of domestic violence.
They gave all kinds of details,
about their character traits
and their behavior.
And?
I recognized myself and clicked.
The children were shocked.
It was a psychiatrist who said
that leaving was the only way
exit for victims.
Run away.
Blanche, please.
Do not leave me.
I can't allow that.
I don't want to lose you and the kids.
Please.
I ask for your forgiveness.
I will correct myself,
because now i understand.
I love you so much.
Blanche, why don't you say anything?
Blanche, say something.
I do not understand.
I apologize and that I will change.
I'm kind, aren't I?
Why are you reacting like this?
Blanche, say something.
Do you want to leave me?
Answer me. Don't mock me
with your silence What happened?
But why?
Why did you allow this?
and you never said anything to me?
Because if I had said anything,
you would have been as angry as you are now.
What kills me is your silence.
Your distance.
Your lack of appreciation.
if you loved me
you would never have allowed that.
You will never be able to love me
if you let me become such a monster.
I was speechless.
I was completely surprised.
But for the first time,
I saw my situation from the outside.
Like a field full of ruins.
I wanted to do something for myself.
Something secret that no one knows about.
I registered on a website
and i was looking for someone
- Let's meet.
- Good.
- When, dear Emma?
- As fast as you can.
I wanted to feel free.
for my body
for my mind, for everything.
- Without thinking.
- Stop it. Stop justifying yourself.
If they ask you,
tell them what you experienced.
- It was the first time.
- Stop it. Stop justifying yourself.
- Continue.
- I chose the one who wrote the best.
The one to whom it seemed
to care how he writes.
And by me.
Can I say that?
Yes.
Not today, start.
- Start it.
- Today you don't eat lunch?
I am not sorry,
I'm in a hurry.
Hello?
I want to invite you to lunch.
- Are you free on Thursday?
- I'm sorry but I can not.
Do you have any plans?
Yes, I'm having lunch with Delphine.
Can't cancel?
I'll be there at 1pm, okay?
We need to talk, Blanche.
I won't get over it
without your help
We will talk tonight.
As you wish.
- Hello.
- Hello.
Would you like to have a coffee inside?
- No, thanks.
- A glass of water?
No, it is not necessary.
- Do you regret coming?
- Not at all. Still do not know.
It's crazy to live in a forest.
It's a much better air.
- Don't you think so?
- It is.
Let's enter.
Come over.
Do you shoot a bow?
To be honest, yes.
Occasionally,
for fun.
Would you like to try it too?
Yes.
Why not?
Watch out, archery
it's something serious.
We will see.
Here you go.
Stand straight.
- Like that?
- Extend your arm.
Focus on your goal.
- Good.
- Aim...
Shoot.
I didn't shoot well.
Not bad.
You pulled further than I expected.
When you aim, think about the present
and in the near future...
and let them become one.
The arrow and the target...
- I become one.
- David, what did I tell you?
- Be distant.
- As you wish.
You look better than in the photo.
And you.
Right on target.
I don't know how I did it.
Extraordinary.
It's a mystery to me too.
You have talent.
But it's the truth.
- I am sorry.
- No, it was because of me. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
- But it's not that serious.
- Yes, it is serious.
You wanted an adventure
I'm not capable of that either.
You're wasting your time with me.
I have to go. That's better.
I can't delay too long.
Is someone waiting for you?
Yes.
My children and...
my husband.
I have to go
or I'll ruin everything.
I am sorry.
- Where are you going?
- To my car. Is it not good around here?
Not at all.
Come, I'll lead you.
Thank you.
I do not want to go.
You can come back if you want.
20 euros.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Listen, mom. My tooth moves.
- Dear good. Let's feel it.
It's your first tooth.
You are a big girl now.
- What happened?
- Why did you leave?
I wanted to be alone for a while.
Understand?
I needed fresh air
and a walk.
- But it's strange.
- Why?
I see dad is sad.
- That he is angry.
- Dad is very often angry.
But it always happens.
But did you fight?
- Are you getting divorced?
- Do not worry.
keep calm and
remember the page where you left off
and go to sleep.
- Where have you been?
- At school.
- Then I walked.
- I am not stupid. Where have you been?
At school.
I corrected tests,
I consulted with my colleagues.
And afterwards?
Then I took a few steps.
That's it.
I needed fresh air.
Your colleagues knew nothing,
so i was worried when they called me.
I understand.
I am sorry.
I lost track of time.
I'll ask you again.
Where have you been?
I worked...
Then I walked
in the forest.
You walked through the woods.
- Yes. I swear.
- On your children's lives?
Not.
- You shouldn't ask me that.
- So you're lying.
no i'm not lying
but don't involve the children.
- It's not good.
- You disappeared without saying.
- Why did you hang up the phone?
- I had no signal.
- No signal?
- Not.
Well, I believe you.
We'll leave it at that.
It is my mistake.
Come on.
Come over.
Come over.
- Did you wash your hair?
- Yes, this morning.
But it's still wet.
what smell is it It doesn't smell like the forest.
where did you shower
Greg, stop it.
- Look at me.
- Please, please, please.
You almost fooled me, liar.
And now you look at me scared.
- I will tell the children what is happening.
- Stop, please.
- I won't excuse you anymore.
- Calm down.
You cheat on me and I have to put up with it?
I never cheated on you.
I didn't even look at other women.
Or is that not what you thought about love?
Answer me or I kill you all.
You can't blackmail me.
I walked alone.
I wanted to think.
- Outside?
- Yes, outside.
Far away from here,
because I'm suffocating and you're scaring me.
Say it.
Admit that you cheated on me.
If I have to, I'll wait
all night. tell me
Who and where did you shower?
I'm asking you to tell me the truth.
Blanche listen to me
we are going through a crisis.
We have been together for seven years.
It is normal. I could really understand you.
So admit it
and then we will move on.
You left your lover
to stay with you all afternoon.
This is the truth.
You will regret.
It took some time.
- You didn't brush your teeth.
- Neither do you.
You heard?
What did he say?
During the day,
radiate goodness
and at night he questioned me.
How long and with whom have you cheated on me?
What is it called?
It won't be long
until I get really angry.
- Good evening.
- Dad, you arrived home.
come here my dear
And you.
Wash your hands.
We go to eat.
Go wash your hands.
What we eat?
Ham pie.
- I prefer to eat pasta.
- And I.
You ate pasta at school too.
- I'm hungry.
- I want pasta.
- What we eat?
- Don't be so difficult.
Why do we eat ham pie?
- Who wants to eat pie?
- I do not want.
Me neither.
Nobody wants.
I really don't like the taste.
Besides, everyone knows it.
But what do you do?
You prepare their food,
and I will take a bath.
- Take a shower, it's more environmentally friendly.
- It's better for the environment.
- And what should I do?
- Easter.
Pasta with ketchup.
Just go to the basement.
Strasbourg.
We continue with this version.
You wanted to go to Strasbourg
before you walk.
You went to a terrace to read a book
and drink coffee. Seems reasonable.
Yes.
Now sleep again.
Like yesterday, Blanche?
You went to a cafe,
not at the hairdresser's.
I would have seen this in our account.
So, you went to the cafe, then to the forest
and after that your hair smelled like shampoo.
- I told you before, I washed it in the morning.
- What a fantastic shampoo.
A miracle.
Announces the Vatican.
You didn't go to Strasbourg to read,
but to see your lover.
So who is he?
I won't let you sleep
until you tell me his name
My head hurts.
- Do you suffer from migraines?
- Yes sometimes.
- I only have paracetamol.
- Is very good. Thank you.
Maybe it has a calming effect.
- Stop pretending. Answer me.
- My head hurts.
It didn't hurt when you cheated on me either.
It's good?
- Is Blanche feeling well?
- Yes.
I heard he passed out.
What's the matter?
Is sleeping.
She was tense.
Fortunately, the holidays are coming up,
so he can get back home a bit.
Are you afraid I'll hit you?
Is that it?
I imagine you think I'm a brute.
You run and hide from me
because you're afraid I'll hit you?
It's so humbling.
I, the father of your children.
Have you no shame at all?
Put your hands down, Blanche.
Look at me.
Have I ever hit you?
One two...
Yes, I lied to you.
What is it called?
It's good.
Thank you.
I do not know.
I didn't ask him.
He was a truck driver.
Now let me sleep.
You won't get rid of me that easily.
Come on.
Sit down.
No, sit at the table.
Don't move from there.
Show where you've been. This way or this way.
Did you cheat me here or here?
In your car or in a hotel?
I want to know all the details.
Blanche, if you cheat,
make sure you don't get caught.
Then you wanted to call to tell me
that you will be late, but you haven't called.
You didn't care about your family. He was
more important than your husband and your children.
He was not a stranger.
I don't think he's a truck driver.
Now I want to know how often
and who are you fooling me with?
- Why is it so important to you?
- You're kidding?
I cheat on you because I'm unhappy
so why do you care?
Blanche, if you want to get over this,
you must know the truth.
Maybe then we can forget about it
and we move on.
But in the meantime, I want you to answer me
honest to all questions.
If I have the slightest doubt,
i will keep looking
until I no longer feel humiliated.
I'm listening to you.
Did you click?
Yes.
I told him the whole truth.
And then again and again.
Also,
he wanted me to show him how...
- How did I...
- Yes.
love.
To do the same with him.
He wanted me to do exactly the same with him.
With your consent?
I do not know anymore.
I will ask you differently.
Did you want it too?
Is that how you did it?
Not.
I need to know.
So I can forget.
Do you know what that means?
Shoot.
Come back when you want.
If you like.
Sir, sir...
- your wife woke up.
- I can see her?
- Just a little, because she is very tired.
- Good.
- I will stay with them.
- Thank you very much.
For nothing.
Dear.
I want to see the children.
when you get home
When you feel better.
You've already traumatized them enough.
What their lives would have been like
if you had abstained?
I am sorry.
Why did you apologize?
Did you feel guilty?
Do you know the reason?
We forget about morality
and we focus on the facts
and by law.
Continue.
Even in the hospital
he tormented me whenever he could.
Tell me what happened.
I am listening to you.
- I wanted to get rid of the headache.
- Swallowing a bottle of pills?
I do not know anymore.
Sir, you cannot enter.
The doctor is with her.
The overdose caused your liver damage
and internal bleeding.
You almost died, lady.
Was that your intention?
if you don't speak
we can't do anything.
Very good,
you can go home tomorrow
Not.
You are very vulnerable. Maybe better
go to a rehab center.
He will find out.
- We will find a solution.
- Thank you.
But it will be temporary.
Do you agree to intern you?
You won.
You sleep and I, your cheating husband,
I take care of children.
Look at me. I know you hear me.
Stop with the pretense.
Good evening,
someone else is coming.
- My wife needs to rest, right?
- We lack beds.
- I don't eat in the cafeteria.
- You can put your things here.
Yes Yes i know.
See you tomorrow.
Who was that individual?
My husband.
- Do you have a phone?
- Yes.
I have to call my daughter.
- Now? Are you sure?
- Yes, I don't dare to call her again.
I do not know. I...
I'm afraid he'll forget me.
give me my purse
- For a moment I thought he took it.
- Who?
That gentleman.
is school going well
No. I do not know.
Not I...
listen to me dear Hear me out.
I'll call you again.
I love you.
Very much, my dear.
I'll call you tomorrow.
Good?
I hug you.
Thank you my sister.
I was so scared that I didn't
I realized the door was open.
- Would you like something, ma'am?
- No, but give me a pen and paper?
I want to introduce you to someone.
He is perfect for you.
Grgoire Lamoureux. I really liked them
and the tears you shed.
Not sure if you want to stay with him?
Really?
I want you only for me.
We don't need it anymore
let's talk to others too.
- Hello?
- Hello, Rose?
I need you.
My sister did as I asked
without hesitation.
- I do not know.
- Actually...
- Good morning. Is there anyone?
- Rose has come.
Where you are?
- I came to pick up the children.
- How? Blanche didn't say anything to me.
Normal, what state is it in, but I can handle it
me better than them. You have to work.
How do you do? Besides, the sea is
better than holiday school, right?
Yes Yes.
I will also come in a few days.
My dears.
Come here.
I have something for you.
Read this and keep it safe.
Good.
Thank you.
- How are you? Am I interrupting you?
- No, we're playing cards.
I see that.
You took a vacation.
- Blanche, we need to talk.
- We play cards.
- I didn't know your mother hired a nanny.
- I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you.
I thought it was better for you.
- When you come home?
- Still do not know.
- Excuse me, when can he come home?
- I'm sorry, professionally I can't tell you.
For now, he needs to rest
and may receive fewer visits.
why did you go home
I had to confront him.
I could have come and got you myself.
Shall I take your coat?
What are you doing?
I'm going to visit the children in Normandy.
What do you mean exactly?
- Leaving me?
- Yes, I want a divorce.
You're crazy.
You're cheating on me, you're trying to kill yourself,
get out of rehab
and now you are leaving the marital home.
To the children who left
with your permission.
You're not leaving.
I'm not afraid anymore.
Let me go.
Leave me alone.
You know the rest.
- Hello Mrs. Enter.
- Hello.
Rose recommended me
to come and talk to you.
He told you well.
Anthony?
We are preparing a file on Blanche Renard,
for a criminal investigation.
Thank you.
I will defend you
but we must act fast.
You must file a complaint
before he does.
And get to a medical examiner quickly
to ascertain these injuries.
I warn you it will be a long road
and that it won't be easy.
You will need to talk about things that
they are painful for you and your children.
It's a war.
Good.
Yes it's alright.
- Is everything alright?
- Give everything.
We build sand castles
and having a great time.
Don't give in, Blanche.
We support you.
- I love you.
- I love you too.
Are you ok?
- We will make it.
- Yes.
Blanche, look at me.
- Please listen to me.
- Sir.
I loved you.
Blanche, I loved you very much.
You hear me?
- I can talk to her, right?
- Not.
- Ignore him.
- Blanche.
Sir.
Everything will be fine.
Will be fine.
He will be here soon.
Would you like to come with us?

I do not.
It was a beautiful time.

- No no. no no no.
- It's perfect for you.
- Who says I'm looking for someone?
- She just feels it.

Hello,
do you swim too?
How do you do?
Good evening, Blanche.
Good evening.
You do not recognize me?
Not.
I'm Grgoire.
- Grgoire Lamoureux.
- Grgoire Lamoureux?
- But you are much more...
- Weaker?
Yes.
Yes it is true.
And what are you doing here, Lamoureux?
But you?
I do not know.
I came because of Rosa.
Do you remember her?
He wanted to introduce me to someone.
To a man who would be ideal for me.
- And you met him?
- Not yet.
I am lucky?
You're funny, Lamoureux.
You will keep telling me
on my last name?
Sorry, that's what you get from a teacher.
Besides, your name is irresistible.
Fox doesn't sound too bad either.
- Are you a teacher?
- Yes.
French language teacher.
You like?
Yes, I always wanted to teach.
- And you?
- I work in a bank.
Very monotonous though
i would have wanted to become a pilot.
- Then why didn't you become a pilot?
- Who knows.
- What are you drinking?
- The water.
But it's vodka.
- Are you an alcoholic?
- Not at all.
If I were,
I would have told you honestly.
The lover would not want there to be secrets.
Nor...
hidden flaws?
- You are the perfect man.
- Exactly.
I am the ideal man for you.
But your sister doesn't know that.
You want to dance?
Come over.
Climb stairs.
Not so fast.
- Be careful or you'll knock her down.
- Excuse me.
- Where did you find it?
- Near the dishes, in the kitchen.
- Or do you prefer tea?
- No, the coffee is very good.
- I always drink it in the morning.
- I thought so.
- No sugar or milk.
- Yes. How do you know?
Because I work for the FBI.
- No, I didn't believe that either.
- Of course.
Thank you.
Okay I'm leaving.
Where are you going?
See you soon.
Yes, see you soon.
- How is Grgoire Lamoureux?
- How is it?
I do not know.
Do you want to see it again?
Yes, but at the same time,
I do not know,
maybe i need more time
Then don't continue.
- But I told him we'll see each other soon.
- And what if you told him.
- But if he calls me.
- Don't answer, that's all.
I have to hang up.
Kiss you.
"I was still seeing her
and I thought I would talk to her.
I even liked her tears
which he poured out."
Don't make fun of me.
This is what I remember from my French lessons.
But I'm not laughing at you.
- Where is the quote from?
- From Britannicus.
And more precisely it is: I really liked them
the tears he shed for me."
You are so Beautiful.
I always wanted you.
Me too.
It's so funny.
Whenever we meet someone,
he always introduces me as his wife.
- What are you saying?
- Well, say this...
while looking into my eyes:
This is my wife.
I like it so much.
I understand this.
- I wouldn't like it.
- She likes.
If she loves him, he loves her too,
but does she really love him?
She annoys me. Now I have a new boyfriend
and she thinks it's not so good.
It's not that, my dear. She says she would
wiser to wait a little longer.
at my age
I don't want to think so much.
I understand you.
I love him.
- I hate love. It ruins life.
- It only makes her more beautiful.
- But you were happy with dad?
- Yes.
- I miss him.
- Do you still think about him?
- Yes of course.
- Often?
Always.
- I love you.
- I love you too.
I love you both.
You dressed very nicely.
- Do you think I like it?
- If you want to strain your knees.
Then I will wear it.
In Paris
Is it romantic?
- Are you going to bring pasta too?
- Yes.
- In all colors?
- Yes.
- And pink pasta for Rose.
- Yes Yes.
You are so lucky.
- He is so cute.
- Don't you want another cutter?
- Do you have a new cutter?
- Do not like?
It surprised me. You look like someone else.
I do not really like it.
It's not that bad.
It will grow back.
- Do you want to make any changes?
- No, no, not at all.
Of course.
I'm such an idiot.
- But it suits you.
- Stop it.
Everything suits you.
You do not believe me?
- Sure.
- Really?
Really.
I want it to stay that way forever.
He was curious.
He asked me what I liked,
what i read
Why do we teach at school?
Why literature?
Why Molire,
why Verlaine, why Musset?
He wanted to know everything about me.
- It's bizarre that you're twins.
- I do not know what to say.
Anyway, you are more beautiful.
- You probably had several lovers.
- Not quite, not exactly.
- You are mean.
- No, this is the truth.
Half is always
better than the other.
Not nearly.
And who is he?
- Is not important.
- No, I want to know everything.
- His name is Louis Gauthier.
- Not.
Sure.
What individual? With that watch.
Show me the photo again.
But no...
Let me just...
I have to tell him something.
Thank you, Louis Gauthier.
Thank you for leaving her.
- Calm down.
- Are you afraid people will hear us?
Yes, I'm talking out loud
because i am happy
I might even scream.
He was unstoppable.
Incredibly tender.
I love you.
I love everything about you.
And I.
I was crazy about him.
Relax,
there is only one.
Gemini often jumps
over a generation.
He will probably have his aura.
Exactly how many weeks along?
In six weeks.
What if I don't want to keep it?
You have six weeks left
to decide.
You are not sure
if you want to keep it
Yes, I don't know my partner
so good.
Then talk to him about it.
It is very important to discuss.
Talking about it takes away your fear.
You are right, of course.
I can not wait any longer.
And you?
Me neither.
- But no. I'm afraid it will bring bad luck.
- Not.
- I swear, I'm superstitious.
- I'll tell them.
- Why?
- She's just my twin sister.
- But we have no relationship with her.
- I have.
Then we'll sleep separately.
Three months is too long.
I can't keep a secret.
- Greg?
- No no no.
- Come on.
- No, I said no.
- We can't go on like this.
- Sure.
- Do you swear?
- Yes.
- Really?
- Really.
Thank you.
Then Greg told me
that he was transferred to Metz.
How does he plan to ship
all these books?
Do you have to take all the cards?
These books are sacred.
This box is good.
- Mom, can I take him with me?
- No, not this one.
Don't you take your dressing table with you?
You always said you adored her.
Of course,
I would like to take her with me.
- Do not like?
- Yes, but it probably won't fit in the van.
- You are right. Sin.
- Too bad.
I didn't say no. We will have to see
if he's going to get in the van.
That's better.
- Won't you regret your decision?
- Stop it.
- We have no choice, you have been transferred.
- Yes it is true.
- What the? What happened?
- Nothing.
- You were just looking at her.
- No, it was nothing.
- I'm sorry, I know you'll miss her.
- You take Blanche away from us.
- And by the sea.
- I exchange the sea for the forest.
- And with love.
- Yes, with love.
And with the cold, too.
It's cold there, isn't it?
- Blanche doesn't like the cold.
- Don't always speak for me.
- Blanche, come. I'll get you some plates.
- Good.
You can choose them too.
To make her happy.
You know you influence her.
She can only be happy if you are too.
Don't be selfish, let it go.
See the horizon
That stands out
you see it clearly
You imagine it like this
This is our new life
Yes, I know
I'm happy
even when it's difficult for me
Let me go
And leave all the memories behind
I understand your confusion
But what awaits us
Now it's much more important
Yes, I know
I already like it
I'm also waiting for our baby
Yes
Our New Life
Start today
A New Life
One way ticket
We're gonna love each other
Till death do us part
We'll live like this forever
Loving each other
So everything was beautiful.
You had no doubts about him?
- Where will you work?
- At the Poincar high school in Nancy.
- Are you happy to be able to go back to work?
- You don't want to know how much.
Even if it's just
until the end of the year.
- And afterwards?
- Well, after that...
They will transfer me somewhere else
or I will apply for a job
full time. They are so selective.
- Is far. We only have one car.
- I can take the bus.
- And what about Stella?
- We can enroll her in daycare.
- Do you know how tiring it will be for you?
- Well, I rested enough.
- Good evening, Grgoire.
- Good evening.
I didn't know you dined here.
- Good evening.
- Good evening.
is she your wife
I am Jrme Vierson.
- The bank manager.
- Of course.
- She is Blanche, my wife.
- Blanche, it's a very beautiful first name.
There are not many women with this name.
You are the only one.
Yes.
You are happy to live in this one
region? You know I put pressure on.
I was born in Normandy.
I'm not from here.
That's why you applied here, right?
No, you got it wrong.
We wanted a different setting.
We were tired of the sea,
of Normandy...
Agree.
- I'll leave you alone.
- Thanks a lot.
- I was delighted to meet you.
- And I.
Thank you.
- It was just a mistake.
- Excuse me, but it was a surprise what you said.
Greg, I don't understand.
Not now.
After we eat.
What do you want, Blanche?
Do you want to go back? Is that it?
Go back to your mother?
I want to understand why you lied.
This is not a strange question.
If I had said: Let's move on.
Then what would you have said?
Yes, brilliant?
No, you know that very well.
I do not understand.
We chose this house together.
I thought you liked it.
I thought...
that we will reinvent ourselves.
in a new place
no history, no past.
When I met you, you were sad.
Distance.
- I wanted you to flourish.
- Far from home, in this dungeon?
Far away from home?
Wait.
What do I mean to you?
I'm sorry I lied to you.
I was afraid.
I was afraid to tell you the truth.
Which truth?
Because I love you.
That I'm crazy about you.
I was afraid of losing you.
Have you ever felt this?
Do you always tell the truth?
Have you never lied or hidden anything?
- I do not know.
- Come on, Blanche...
sometimes you don't agree with me
and you don't talk to me anymore
Maybe not to hurt you.
- Yes, maybe.
- Good.
See. It was just stupid.
Let's be able to talk.
Yes.
I'm really sorry
for what i did
Now you will never believe me again.
Stop it.
I dont say that.
Now that we're honest,
I have to tell you.
Well?
I was not very satisfied with your work.
But it was stupid.
I feel ashamed.
I just want you to be happy.
You believe me?
I do not know anymore.
Good.
- Greg, what are you going to do?
- Call Vierson. We're coming back.
Finish. Greg.
No, I'm resigning.
Nothing. let me...
- Not.
- Blanche, stop.
Let me call him.
You're not happy, so we're going back.
What matters to me
is to be happy.
- Why don't we go back?
- Seriously? Now that I've found a job?
You're going to get used to it
with this life?
With me?
Do you want to get used to me working too?
What do you say?
Not.
I want you only for me.
Of course I'm happy.
I am so proud of you.
Really?
Really.
Slower, she sleeps.
It's good.
I think it's a beautiful song.
That night, I got pregnant
with our second child.
I love you.
Be my echo, repeat, princess.
- Who else wrote this?
- Marivaux.
What are you thinking about?
At U.S.
It rained so hard, didn't it?
Now it is better.
I'm glad it dried.
- I open the gate.
- Good.
- What are you doing?
- I am writing a letter to my sister.
- Do you complain about your husband?
- Why would I complain about you?
Because I'm boring.
- Did he say it often?
- Always.
Dear Rose, I have so much to tell you.
My mind is going crazy.
He read over my shoulder what I was writing.
I don't know why I let him do that.
- Do you want more pasta?
- Hello?
- Why did you hang up on me?
- I had classes.
But you could have called me later, right?
I wanted to, but I sat down to eat.
- I disturb you?
- Not at all.
Sure.
You can just tell me, right?
- You are not alone?
- I was having lunch with Delphine.
I knew you weren't alone.
Move away for a moment, I don't want him to listen.
You prepare dinner for 16 hours until
Good,
I'm alone.
- What time do you come home?
- At five o'clock. Why?
No reason.
I missed you.
Coffee, cigarettes, no food.
- Your husband calls you very often.
- Yes, that's how he is.
- He can't live without you.
- That's it, you're lucky.
- Bye, girls.
- See you soon.
My husband and I have been silent for a whole week. He doesn't need to talk to me.
Sometimes I think I'm like old furniture
for him. Not true.
Laugh, but...
is your husband now a banker?
Is strange,
a banker with a teacher, right?
It's not the same medium, right?
But how did you meet?
- At a party. Not at the bank.
- Could I take you home tonight?
- That way you don't have to take the bus anymore.
- No, I'm leaving early tonight, but thanks.
Again?
Then I will meet him another time
your husband
bye dear I am a mother.
I'm counting on you for Christmas.
Do you know what we're going to eat? A big goose.
You will probably like it a lot.
And the children.
I can't wait to see you.
Yes I am.
You never answer.
You are like a minister. Okay, don't forget
of the meeting at the bank tomorrow.
You got a grade of 6.5.
Not so bad, but read act two.
Do you like seeing other people too?
We feel good together, don't we?
- Bye, dear. Are you coming for Christmas?
- Still do not know...
Yes, Blanche. I would have preferred
to talk to you, but finally...
We are staying here for Christmas.
It's much easier that way.
- Today, Blanche, you cannot go unnoticed.
- How?
First year students
they want to surprise you.
How cute.
They have never had such a friendly French teacher. I'm jealous.
- You teach history.
- Yes, so what? You are their favorite.
- But I have to take my children.
- Greg can take them at least once, right?
Catherine?
- Should I say that my husband forbids me?
- Don't exaggerate like that. I don't forbid you anything.
I can't run away from work, can I?
- I'm working, right?
- I know that.
Blanche.
Come over.
Well then.
You got what you wanted.
- So you take the children?
- Yes of course.
You are so Beautiful.
Do you want to do it?
How?
But no.
Not tomorrow morning.
Does not matter anymore,
you don't have to do it anymore.
You look like a nun in this one
nightgown. How disappointing.
- Don't force yourself, you don't have to.
- But I want.
Not like this.
I hate all men.
Some are mean and wrong.
And the rest are fighting
for the good of the wicked."
I'm sorry. Excuse me.
Without the wholesome contempt which the virtuous
should give it to the righteous.
Very good.
Thank you, Violette.
Pierre.
Behind his mask
we see the traitor.
Everyone knows his true form.
His eyes bulged
and his gentle flattery...
it only impresses foreigners.
This man taken by surprise, by whom
he should be laughed at, he climbed the hierarchy.
The splendor it acquires
it makes merit and virtue blush."
- You're coming to my party on Friday, right?
- Yes.
You really don't want me to drive?
- You look tired.
- I'm tired.
Tired of a night with a lot of idiots.
- You exaggerate.
- So we didn't spend the evening the same way.
You shined like a diamond.
- Do not say anything?
- I have nothing left.
A conversation with me
isn't it interesting?
- Am I not intellectual enough? Is that it?
- Greg, please stop.
- Drive more slowly.
- I can definitely drive a car.
What are you afraid of?
That I'm going to cause an accident?
- You do not trust me?
- Sure.
I trust you.
But what are you doing? Turn on the headlights.
- The road is straight.
- Turn on the headlights.
I know how to drive home. Calm down.
Look how beautiful it is.
- We can see the stars.
- Greg.
Excuse me, I was being silly.
Come on. Focus, this one is difficult.
It is a picture of the whole region.
- With the trees and the roads and the rest?
- With the trees, the roads and the rest.
First look for the pieces in the corners.
Larger pieces are also good.
- I found a corner piece.
- This is not a corner piece.
Sure.
"It was the next day
a gloomy one for Emma.
Everything seemed shrouded
in a dark atmosphere
which floated confusedly above things.
Sadness was growing in his soul
with soft cries,
like a winter wind
in an abandoned castle."
Blanche.
Blanche?
Look who came.
Blanche.
Come over.
Come over.
Children, Rose has come.
This snow doesn't stop.
- What are you doing here?
- I wonder that too.
- He's Tony.
- Hello.
- We have known each other for several months.
- You didn't tell me anything.
When I call you, you're always busy.
Last night I talked to him about you and
I thought it was time to introduce it to you.
- Did you drive all night?
- Yes.
- She kidnapped me. I had no choice.
- That doesn't surprise me, she's dangerous.
Children, come.
how are you kids
Come here, you two.
- Look, I have presents.
- Thank you.
Thank you.
- What's inside? Who is it for?
- For girls.
Okay, I'll make some coffee.
I think they are happy.
Wait.
Here is the fire truck.
- Don't you think it's beautiful?
- Sure.
- He's also smart.
- I do not know. I barely talked to him.
Everything he touches turns to gold.
He is good at everything.
It is so beautiful.
He has class.
I'm in love. I'm afraid of making a mistake.
It got under my skin.
Look at me.
- Are you ok?
- Of course.
My boyfriend took me on a trip
at a fantastic hotel.
The minibar was bigger than
my fridge and such... Come on.
- I was very drunk.
- Obviously.
I ordered all the cocktails
to see if they were good.
- How great.
- It was delicious.
So.
Back then we were chubbier.
- You exaggerate.
- Who is in the picture?
- It's you and mom.
- Yes.
- Here it is more difficult.
- You are this and she is the mother.
Yes very good. I was on vacation.
I don't remember the place.
- In Marseille?
- Have you been there?
- Yes, several times.
- Oh, that one.
- This is where I met you.
- Let me see her too.
You were beautiful, mother.
You haven't changed at all, my dear.
They don't have doors here.
We will have doors with locks.
The next day, everything changed.
Are you leaving?
Should I drive you to the train station?
I give you my car.
You need her more than I do.
By bus it's exhausting.
This car drove him crazy.
As if he believed
that I will leave with her for good.
Blanche.
- Are you crazy?
- You don't answer me anymore?
Strange, these games you play.
It made my life impossible.
Everything had to be programmed.
To consider all expenses.
- What time will you finish tomorrow?
- At three o'clock.
Aren't you staying here?
Like the past few days.
I got a budget for
food and personal expenses.
I was counting down to the last penny.
- Do you have an account together?
- Yes. He said I spent too much
and that it was better and more practical that way.
A full tank of gas for each
three days, driving 80 km a day...
is much.
Maybe the tank is leaking.
A mechanic will check the car.
I was walking on eggshells.
He doubted himself constantly.
We will work less and less.
We can't give them less homework...
Did he follow you?
I didn't want anyone to know.
I was terrified.
Yes Dear.
What happens?
What the?
What do you want to say?
Stella.
Arthur?
Greg.
Children.
Is anybody home?
- Mother.
- I'm here, dears.
Now everything will be fine.
lie down
Greg?
- What happened?
- Calm down.
Please.
I am ashamed.
Why?
I was in the kitchen.
The radio was on and...
They were talking to men and women who had been
victims of domestic violence.
They gave all kinds of details,
about their character traits
and their behavior.
And?
I recognized myself and clicked.
The children were shocked.
It was a psychiatrist who said
that leaving was the only way
exit for victims.
Run away.
Blanche, please.
Do not leave me.
I can't allow that.
I don't want to lose you and the kids.
Please.
I ask for your forgiveness.
I will correct myself,
because now i understand.
I love you so much.
Blanche, why don't you say anything?
Blanche, say something.
I do not understand.
I apologize and that I will change.
I'm kind, aren't I?
Why are you reacting like this?
Blanche, say something.
Do you want to leave me?
Answer me. Don't mock me
with your silence What happened?
But why?
Why did you allow this?
and you never said anything to me?
Because if I had said anything,
you would have been as angry as you are now.
What kills me is your silence.
Your distance.
Your lack of appreciation.
if you loved me
you would never have allowed that.
You will never be able to love me
if you let me become such a monster.
I was speechless.
I was completely surprised.
But for the first time,
I saw my situation from the outside.
Like a field full of ruins.
I wanted to do something for myself.
Something secret that no one knows about.
I registered on a website
and i was looking for someone
- Let's meet.
- Good.
- When, dear Emma?
- As fast as you can.
I wanted to feel free.
for my body
for my mind, for everything.
- Without thinking.
- Stop it. Stop justifying yourself.
If they ask you,
tell them what you experienced.
- It was the first time.
- Stop it. Stop justifying yourself.
- Continue.
- I chose the one who wrote the best.
The one to whom it seemed
to care how he writes.
And by me.
Can I say that?
Yes.
Not today, start.
- Start it.
- Today you don't eat lunch?
I am not sorry,
I'm in a hurry.
Hello?
I want to invite you to lunch.
- Are you free on Thursday?
- I'm sorry but I can not.
Do you have any plans?
Yes, I'm having lunch with Delphine.
Can't cancel?
I'll be there at 1pm, okay?
We need to talk, Blanche.
I won't get over it
without your help
We will talk tonight.
As you wish.
- Hello.
- Hello.
Would you like to have a coffee inside?
- No, thanks.
- A glass of water?
No, it is not necessary.
- Do you regret coming?
- Not at all. Still do not know.
It's crazy to live in a forest.
It's a much better air.
- Don't you think so?
- It is.
Let's enter.
Come over.
Do you shoot a bow?
To be honest, yes.
Occasionally,
for fun.
Would you like to try it too?
Yes.
Why not?
Watch out, archery
it's something serious.
We will see.
Here you go.
Stand straight.
- Like that?
- Extend your arm.
Focus on your goal.
- Good.
- Aim...
Shoot.
I didn't shoot well.
Not bad.
You pulled further than I expected.
When you aim, think about the present
and in the near future...
and let them become one.
The arrow and the target...
- I become one.
- David, what did I tell you?
- Be distant.
- As you wish.
You look better than in the photo.
And you.
Right on target.
I don't know how I did it.
Extraordinary.
It's a mystery to me too.
You have talent.
But it's the truth.
- I am sorry.
- No, it was because of me. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
- But it's not that serious.
- Yes, it is serious.
You wanted an adventure
I'm not capable of that either.
You're wasting your time with me.
I have to go. That's better.
I can't delay too long.
Is someone waiting for you?
Yes.
My children and...
my husband.
I have to go
or I'll ruin everything.
I am sorry.
- Where are you going?
- To my car. Is it not good around here?
Not at all.
Come, I'll lead you.
Thank you.
I do not want to go.
You can come back if you want.
20 euros.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Listen, mom. My tooth moves.
- Dear good. Let's feel it.
It's your first tooth.
You are a big girl now.
- What happened?
- Why did you leave?
I wanted to be alone for a while.
Understand?
I needed fresh air
and a walk.
- But it's strange.
- Why?
I see dad is sad.
- That he is angry.
- Dad is very often angry.
But it always happens.
But did you fight?
- Are you getting divorced?
- Do not worry.
keep calm and
remember the page where you left off
and go to sleep.
- Where have you been?
- At school.
- Then I walked.
- I am not stupid. Where have you been?
At school.
I corrected tests,
I consulted with my colleagues.
And afterwards?
Then I took a few steps.
That's it.
I needed fresh air.
Your colleagues knew nothing,
so i was worried when they called me.
I understand.
I am sorry.
I lost track of time.
I'll ask you again.
Where have you been?
I worked...
Then I walked
in the forest.
You walked through the woods.
- Yes. I swear.
- On your children's lives?
Not.
- You shouldn't ask me that.
- So you're lying.
no i'm not lying
but don't involve the children.
- It's not good.
- You disappeared without saying.
- Why did you hang up the phone?
- I had no signal.
- No signal?
- Not.
Well, I believe you.
We'll leave it at that.
It is my mistake.
Come on.
Come over.
Come over.
- Did you wash your hair?
- Yes, this morning.
But it's still wet.
what smell is it It doesn't smell like the forest.
where did you shower
Greg, stop it.
- Look at me.
- Please, please, please.
You almost fooled me, liar.
And now you look at me scared.
- I will tell the children what is happening.
- Stop, please.
- I won't excuse you anymore.
- Calm down.
You cheat on me and I have to put up with it?
I never cheated on you.
I didn't even look at other women.
Or is that not what you thought about love?
Answer me or I kill you all.
You can't blackmail me.
I walked alone.
I wanted to think.
- Outside?
- Yes, outside.
Far away from here,
because I'm suffocating and you're scaring me.
Say it.
Admit that you cheated on me.
If I have to, I'll wait
all night. tell me
Who and where did you shower?
I'm asking you to tell me the truth.
Blanche listen to me
we are going through a crisis.
We have been together for seven years.
It is normal. I could really understand you.
So admit it
and then we will move on.
You left your lover
to stay with you all afternoon.
This is the truth.
You will regret.
It took some time.
- You didn't brush your teeth.
- Neither do you.
You heard?
What did he say?
During the day,
radiate goodness
and at night he questioned me.
How long and with whom have you cheated on me?
What is it called?
It won't be long
until I get really angry.
- Good evening.
- Dad, you arrived home.
come here my dear
And you.
Wash your hands.
We go to eat.
Go wash your hands.
What we eat?
Ham pie.
- I prefer to eat pasta.
- And I.
You ate pasta at school too.
- I'm hungry.
- I want pasta.
- What we eat?
- Don't be so difficult.
Why do we eat ham pie?
- Who wants to eat pie?
- I do not want.
Me neither.
Nobody wants.
I really don't like the taste.
Besides, everyone knows it.
But what do you do?
You prepare their food,
and I will take a bath.
- Take a shower, it's more environmentally friendly.
- It's better for the environment.
- And what should I do?
- Easter.
Pasta with ketchup.
Just go to the basement.
Strasbourg.
We continue with this version.
You wanted to go to Strasbourg
before you walk.
You went to a terrace to read a book
and drink coffee. Seems reasonable.
Yes.
Now sleep again.
Like yesterday, Blanche?
You went to a cafe,
not at the hairdresser's.
I would have seen this in our account.
So, you went to the cafe, then to the forest
and after that your hair smelled like shampoo.
- I told you before, I washed it in the morning.
- What a fantastic shampoo.
A miracle.
Announces the Vatican.
You didn't go to Strasbourg to read,
but to see your lover.
So who is he?
I won't let you sleep
until you tell me his name
My head hurts.
- Do you suffer from migraines?
- Yes sometimes.
- I only have paracetamol.
- Is very good. Thank you.
Maybe it has a calming effect.
- Stop pretending. Answer me.
- My head hurts.
It didn't hurt when you cheated on me either.
It's good?
- Is Blanche feeling well?
- Yes.
I heard he passed out.
What's the matter?
Is sleeping.
She was tense.
Fortunately, the holidays are coming up,
so he can get back home a bit.
Are you afraid I'll hit you?
Is that it?
I imagine you think I'm a brute.
You run and hide from me
because you're afraid I'll hit you?
It's so humbling.
I, the father of your children.
Have you no shame at all?
Put your hands down, Blanche.
Look at me.
Have I ever hit you?
One two...
Yes, I lied to you.
What is it called?
It's good.
Thank you.
I do not know.
I didn't ask him.
He was a truck driver.
Now let me sleep.
You won't get rid of me that easily.
Come on.
Sit down.
No, sit at the table.
Don't move from there.
Show where you've been. This way or this way.
Did you cheat me here or here?
In your car or in a hotel?
I want to know all the details.
Blanche, if you cheat,
make sure you don't get caught.
Then you wanted to call to tell me
that you will be late, but you haven't called.
You didn't care about your family. He was
more important than your husband and your children.
He was not a stranger.
I don't think he's a truck driver.
Now I want to know how often
and who are you fooling me with?
- Why is it so important to you?
- You're kidding?
I cheat on you because I'm unhappy
so why do you care?
Blanche, if you want to get over this,
you must know the truth.
Maybe then we can forget about it
and we move on.
But in the meantime, I want you to answer me
honest to all questions.
If I have the slightest doubt,
i will keep looking
until I no longer feel humiliated.
I'm listening to you.
Did you click?
Yes.
I told him the whole truth.
And then again and again.
Also,
he wanted me to show him how...
- How did I...
- Yes.
love.
To do the same with him.
He wanted me to do exactly the same with him.
With your consent?
I do not know anymore.
I will ask you differently.
Did you want it too?
Is that how you did it?
Not.
I need to know.
So I can forget.
Do you know what that means?
Shoot.
Come back when you want.
If you like.
Sir, sir...
- your wife woke up.
- I can see her?
- Just a little, because she is very tired.
- Good.
- I will stay with them.
- Thank you very much.
For nothing.
Dear.
I want to see the children.
when you get home
When you feel better.
You've already traumatized them enough.
What their lives would have been like
if you had abstained?
I am sorry.
Why did you apologize?
Did you feel guilty?
Do you know the reason?
We forget about morality
and we focus on the facts
and by law.
Continue.
Even in the hospital
he tormented me whenever he could.
Tell me what happened.
I am listening to you.
- I wanted to get rid of the headache.
- Swallowing a bottle of pills?
I do not know anymore.
Sir, you cannot enter.
The doctor is with her.
The overdose caused your liver damage
and internal bleeding.
You almost died, lady.
Was that your intention?
if you don't speak
we can't do anything.
Very good,
you can go home tomorrow
Not.
You are very vulnerable. Maybe better
go to a rehab center.
He will find out.
- We will find a solution.
- Thank you.
But it will be temporary.
Do you agree to intern you?
You won.
You sleep and I, your cheating husband,
I take care of children.
Look at me. I know you hear me.
Stop with the pretense.
Good evening,
someone else is coming.
- My wife needs to rest, right?
- We lack beds.
- I don't eat in the cafeteria.
- You can put your things here.
Yes Yes i know.
See you tomorrow.
Who was that individual?
My husband.
- Do you have a phone?
- Yes.
I have to call my daughter.
- Now? Are you sure?
- Yes, I don't dare to call her again.
I do not know. I...
I'm afraid he'll forget me.
give me my purse
- For a moment I thought he took it.
- Who?
That gentleman.
is school going well
No. I do not know.
Not I...
listen to me dear Hear me out.
I'll call you again.
I love you.
Very much, my dear.
I'll call you tomorrow.
Good?
I hug you.
Thank you my sister.
I was so scared that I didn't
I realized the door was open.
- Would you like something, ma'am?
- No, but give me a pen and paper?
I want to introduce you to someone.
He is perfect for you.
Grgoire Lamoureux. I really liked them
and the tears you shed.
Not sure if you want to stay with him?
Really?
I want you only for me.
We don't need it anymore
let's talk to others too.
- Hello?
- Hello, Rose?
I need you.
My sister did as I asked
without hesitation.
- I do not know.
- Actually...
- Good morning. Is there anyone?
- Rose has come.
Where you are?
- I came to pick up the children.
- How? Blanche didn't say anything to me.
Normal, what state is it in, but I can handle it
me better than them. You have to work.
How do you do? Besides, the sea is
better than holiday school, right?
Yes Yes.
I will also come in a few days.
My dears.
Come here.
I have something for you.
Read this and keep it safe.
Good.
Thank you.
- How are you? Am I interrupting you?
- No, we're playing cards.
I see that.
You took a vacation.
- Blanche, we need to talk.
- We play cards.
- I didn't know your mother hired a nanny.
- I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you.
I thought it was better for you.
- When you come home?
- Still do not know.
- Excuse me, when can he come home?
- I'm sorry, professionally I can't tell you.
For now, he needs to rest
and may receive fewer visits.
why did you go home
I had to confront him.
I could have come and got you myself.
Shall I take your coat?
What are you doing?
I'm going to visit the children in Normandy.
What do you mean exactly?
- Leaving me?
- Yes, I want a divorce.
You're crazy.
You're cheating on me, you're trying to kill yourself,
get out of rehab
and now you are leaving the marital home.
To the children who left
with your permission.
You're not leaving.
I'm not afraid anymore.
Let me go.
Leave me alone.
You know the rest.
- Hello Mrs. Enter.
- Hello.
Rose recommended me
to come and talk to you.
He told you well.
Anthony?
We are preparing a file on Blanche Renard,
for a criminal investigation.
Thank you.
I will defend you
but we must act fast.
You must file a complaint
before he does.
And get to a medical examiner quickly
to ascertain these injuries.
I warn you it will be a long road
and that it won't be easy.
You will need to talk about things that
they are painful for you and your children.
It's a war.
Good.
Yes it's alright.
- Is everything alright?
- Give everything.
We build sand castles
and having a great time.
Don't give in, Blanche.
We support you.
- I love you.
- I love you too.
Are you ok?
- We will make it.
- Yes.
Blanche, look at me.
- Please listen to me.
- Sir.
I loved you.
Blanche, I loved you very much.
You hear me?
- I can talk to her, right?
- Not.
- Ignore him.
- Blanche.
Sir.
Everything will be fine.
Will be fine.
He will be here soon.
Would you like to come with us?
