You still smoke?
No, I'm getting old
Here you are
- Did you look in your bag? - Yes
Have you got a car?
- No, I borrowed it - Ah.
- What's this? - Nothing
It's too cold
Yeah
What's up?
I hurt my wrist
Leave it to me..
You've become old too
Is there room?.
Yeah, there's space
Stop...Stop
What are you doing?
The Past
Do the girls know that I've arrived?
No
Didn't you tell them?
I was afraid that you couldn't come, like last time
Put it in fourth gear
Now I'm here, you should warn them
I want to see them
We're going to see them
Where?
We'll pick up Luci from school then go home
Didn't you book the hotel?
No
You were supposed to...
I wasn't sure you would come.
What's than supposed to mean?
I Wasn't sure
Listen, last time I had an impediment..
Two days before my flight...
Forget it, it's not important
If you start we'll never finish.
Because once I had to cancel my flight?
No
For many reasons
The girls will be happy if you come home.
I didn't want to put you out.
It's not a bother.
Anyway, you had to come home to get your suitcase.
You can change your clothes so you don't get cold.
She was going to fine you if I didn't move
What happened?
She's gone.
Did you tell her we would pick her up?
Let's go.
Maybe we're late so she's gone home.
It's not the first time.
Last time she got home at 11.
At her age, it's normal.
No it's not normal.
What's up with her?
She has been irritating the shit out of me
Can you talk to her?
Maybe you work out what is wrong with her.
If she remembers me, after such a long time.
She loves you very much.
Still?
Don't go that way...where are you going?... This way.
Sorry
you forgot everything.
I got distracted.
- Marie ... Yes - Don't put them there, it's risky
Ah! I can't do it all on my own.
I just did what you told me to do
You're not strong enough. You need to pull the other way.
I'll force myself not to scream
Ow! You hurt me
Is Luci back?
No
Wait! Wait!
Go on!
Go on. There, that's it.
Come on, pull!
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Ah, no no!
Oh shit, Fouad, you broke it.
Pull it firmly.
I can't... it's cutting my hand.
No, no...Not this way.
First, one side should be set then the other side.
Let me show you.
This one...
We set it in this way...
Alright
It needs some oil. Do you know where it is?
We used to put it on that shelf in the shed
Ahmad
Lea, Are you ok?
You've really grown up!
Hello Sir
Your friend is a bit stuck-up!!
What's his name?
My name is Fouad
Hello Fouad.
Are you alright?
Ahmad, Come in
And you Fouad, see to your business. Come on.
It wasn't in the store
So, it must've been moved when I wasn't here.
My father has some in his car.
What happend to the bookcase that was there?
The old one. It was wooden.
We threw it out.
Really? Some of my books were in that bookcase.
Your things are in the storage room.
Fouad, take your stuff.
I don't like sleeping upstairs.
What?
I don't like sleeping up there.
Do what I said.
Watch out for the paint.
Wasn't the last colour better?
I haven't finished yet, because of my wrist.
You should have waited for me. I would have painted it myself.
It would've kept me occupied.
You were going to go to a hotel.
Give it to me.
Ouch! You hurt me.
Sorry
That's enough, thank you.
It's ok.
I put the car keys here.
Thanks.
I put you some clothes upstairs. Change them or you'll get cold.
What are you doing here?
Come on... you sleep up and Luci sleeps down.
Luci, call me please, I have a surprise for you.
You sleep there while Ahmad is here.
Go please...
She drives me crazy.
Is that your father's car in front of the door?
Yes
Do you live here?
Yes
With your father?
Yes
How long?
Since school began.
You don't need to make the bed. Come down. Go to your own bed.
Go up... Get down.
What?
One says go up, one says get down.
I'm sorry.
Why are you coming down again?
He told me to come down.
You can ask him, with his old beard.
There aren't enough beds downstairs.
Do you live with someone here?
Yes
You didn't tell me.
What do you mean?
I told you in one of my emails.
What E-mail?
I can't remember, I told you in one of them.
I didn't recieve such an E-mail.
So, why did you want to go to a hotel?
I didn't want to put you out.
Anyway, I had told you.
But I didn't recieve such an E-mail.
So what did you think I told you come to court to get divorced for?
Does he know that I'm here?
Yes
So I should leave.
He won't just come when you're here.
If he does, he'll let us know.
When did you send me that e-mail?
I don't know.
So it must be in your E-mails now, yeah?
Yes, I suppose.
Do you want me to show you?
You were supposed to book me a hotel.
Last time I did, But you didn't come. I had to cancel it.
How much did you pay for canceling?
When should I be in the court tomorrow?
You said you would talk to Luci.
When is she coming?
I don't know.
I'll see her tomorrow.
I hoped you would keep your promise just for once in your life.
I didn't make you any promise.
Yeah, you're right. I'm sorry.
Fouad, is it hard for you to look where you put your feet?
I just cleaned up
and you messed it all up again!
Fouad, look at me when I talk to you.
Look at me! We've been through this.
I don't care.
Fouad, Get back here.
Get back...
Get back here.
I want to go home.
Leave me.
Stop it.
Fouad, Come here.
- Leave me alone - Calm down
- I want to go home - I'm fed up with you.
Ow!
Stop it, stop it!
Leave me!
Leave me alone!
Look what you've done here.
Stop it.
Get in Fouad. Stop it!
Leave me alone! I want to go home.
Please stop! Sorry.
I don't want your apology. Leave me alone
- I'm begging you. - You're not my mother
Get out you.
That's enough!
Fouad, that's enough!
I want to go to our own home.
You stay here now Fouad.
No way!
Open it.
Open the door.
I want to go to my own home.
You should go, you're running late.
I'll do it
I'll clean
No, I'll do it myself
Don't do that with your injured wrist.
Stop, give it to me
You wanted to go?
I'll wait for Luci to come
You should go
Lea, give me my shoes please, come on
Open this door!
Hurry up
Open it!
Open up!
Will you keep an eye on them?
Yes, you can go
Thank you
I'll break down the door and leave
Open it, open it!
- Open it! - Foaud! Fouad, stop.
Stay back, I want to open the door
What?
hmm?
Where are you going?
Stop
Leave me
Stop
Leave me
Ok, calm down
Let go of my hands
Come down Fouad, first tell me where you want to go
Take it easy Fouad
What are you doing?
I want to go
Where?
Our home
Where is it?
Paris, it's too far. He can't go there
Shut up, no one asked you anything
Don't talk like that here.. Got it?
You go, I want to talk to Fouad
What's up Fouad?
What has happened?
I want to go to our own home
Do you want me to call there?
No one's there
What's bothering you here?
Because she had a fight with you? yeah?
You weren't a good kid either
You splashed the paints over the floor
Didn't you?
It's not because of the paint
So why?
Because I'm here? yeah?
Do you want me to leave?
Hello Madam
Hello
You ok?
Not bad
His flight was delayed
Has he arrived?
Yeah
Here you are
Where did you park it?
Over there
Where?
There
Don't put them in the car, it's risky.
Did you go to the hospital today?
yes
So how is she?
As usual
Didn't you bring Fouad?
What for?
He called me.
He wants to leave
I had a fight with him, with both of them
I'll pick him up tonight,
- Don't exaggerate
It's the first time that he's called me
It's the first time I had an argument with him
I promised him
Ok, I shouldn't have got angry
I make it up to him tonight
If you wanna come over, let me know beforehand
Such great popcorn
Fouad, Don't do that
Take it to him...be careful
Take it
I don't want it
You cut your hand
No I didn't. It was like that before
It's bleeding
Ahmad, he cut himself
Luci
Ahmad?
How did you know it's me?
I knew you would come today
Little Luci
What do you eat Luci?
I don't, thanks
Come on..please
You won't find such a great Qorme Sabzi anywhere else
Unless you marry two cool Iranian men
You should marry a Persian woman too
How is it?
You want more?
No, it's good
What does a Persian woman look like?
A Persian woman? Like me, but a woman
Like this
Did you like that?
Always like this?
- Does she have a beard? - No
Would you like to go to Iran with Ahmad?
How are they?
Do you always get home late?
Just to sleep
Really?
Because I have no other place to pass the night
Why don't you want to stay here?
Like yourself...
So you move to your friend's home tomorrow
This is not my home
But your friend's home is?
I'm not comfortable here
Neither am I
Your case is different
It's hard for me to see someone everyday who wants to marry my ex-wife
She is just your ex-wife now?
Yeah
It's ridiculous
What?
You lived with her for several years Now she is just your ex-wife
Now everything is different
We separated
Can you give me a hand?
I think you're old enough to understand
Old enough not to be advised by everyone
I didn't come here to advise you
Your mother asked me to have a word with you to see what's wrong with you
I don't know why she thinks you're more comfortable with me than her
She knows what I'm angry about
I don't want to be here when that bastard comes
Luci
Come, take a seat here for a moment
Isn't he a good man?
I don't know...I barely know him
So why do you call him a "bastard"?
What has he done?
Nothing
In fact, he has no reason to be here
Look, your mother is going to marry him
It's her right
Really?
Even someone who has a child and his wife is in coma
Fouad's mother?
What if she was going to marry someone else? Would that be ok with you?
It makes no difference
So this guy is not your problem?
She has married three men since I was born
Every time it's the same thing
This one will also stay a couple of years and then will leave us
Can you talk to her?
What should I say to her?
Talk her out of it
Kids, are you still awake?
Fouad, get up and go to sleep
Just two mintues more...please
Just two minutes
Hi
Good night
Luci
Would you sleep downstairs tonight?
Fouad and Ahmad have to go upstairs
I made dinner, if you didn't have any
Thanks
Do you want me to warm it up?
No thanks
Where did you get the herbs?
We went shopping
You're still a good cook
I still have that at least
What time should we be there tomorrow?
9
You don't eat it with a fork
Take this
Did you talk to her?
Yes
So what?
As you guess
She doesn't like you marring again
She is afraid that he'll leave you after a while
He won't
I think I'm not the right person to convince her
That she should be happy about your marriage
I didn't say she should be happy
I want to understand what will make her happy
Stopping you from getting married
It made me laugh too
Try to convince her before you make your decision
I've already made my decision
Fouad
Yes
If you aren't comfortable, we can change our bed
No, I'm ok
I need to pee
Ok, get up...
Come on
Did you talk to her doctor?
No, just her nurse
What did she say?
What do you mean? The scratches on her stomach
She said she did that to herself after I went there
Maybe it has nothing to do with you visiting her
This may be so
Maybe it was unintentional
Would you like it to be so?
I'm sorry
It's too easy to say what you want then apologise
Why are you here?
It's too dark. I'm afraid to go up
Why do you want to go up?
I told him to go up with Ahmad. The girls sleep downstairs
Maybe he doesn't feel comfortable sleeping next to a stranger
Go, get dressed
I want to go to bed, I feel sleepy
Didn't you tell me to pick you up?
I want to stay here
Get in, sleep next to me
Ahmad, drop it, we'll be late
It's clogged
Do it later, we must be there at 9
Kids, shake a leg
- How are you? - Good
Hello kids
Hi
Samir
Sorry, my hands are dirty
It's blocked again?
It's flowing now, I just need to fasten it
Would you please give me the tea?
Get ready, we'll give you a ride
I'll go myself
Ahmad, we're running late
It's done
Come on kids, get ready
It's still dripping
It was dripping before
I told you it needs a washer
You go, let me fix it
It's good. Go ahead, I'll take care of it
OK
Have you eaten?
Not yet
Can I see you somewhere?
Don't you go to school?
Ahmad
I'm coming
I can skip school today
When are you off?
At one
Are you looking for something?
No
Wait, wait
It's war
Isn't this the school Luci used to go?
Yeah, it is
Hop out
Goodbye kids
Goodbye
Bye mom
Bye dear
Bye mom
Hold on
You can go, bye
Where did you meet each other?
In the pharmacy
He used to come and get medicine for his wife
What was wrong with his wife?
She had depression
What's up?
What?
Hmm....What does that mean?
We call it a smile
Here, we call it mockery
Was it funny?
Do you miss our shouting matches dear?
Is her depression funny?
If you get on my nerves, I'll stop here and go straight to Tehran
- I won't divorce you and your plans will be cancelled - You haven't changed a bit
Should I pull over?
We're late
Should I stop?
No, but truly, what do you really think about him?
First tell me how serious it is... then I'll tell you
If it wasn't serious, I wouldn't get pregnant
Miss, come please
Were you kidding?
No

Luci
How are you?
(In Persian) Sorry Sir! Where can I get the bus to Tajrish?!!
How are you?
What the hell are you doing here?!!
When did you get here?
Yesterday
Do you know her?
She's really grown up.
How are you?
Have you had lunch?
So what do you think I came here for?
Such a beautiful lady! When you were little
he used to bring you here on his bike
Shahryar...that was her sister, she's Luci.
Really? Excuse me
You always used to confuse them
Go and take a seat
Where is Valeria?
I'll call her
Valeria, your friend is here
Who?
Ahmad?...Ahmad!
Hello dear Valeria, How are you?
- Hello...How are you? - ...You ok?
- I'm alright - I missed you a lot
Oh...little Luci
Not so little
How beautiful you are!
Are you two still together?
We still have something in common in order not to get separated
The colour of our flags
What are you saying?
- What is your husband saying? - He talks a lot
How is your mom?
She's ok
Did you go to court?
Yeah
Is it done?
It was done a long time ago
Do you still like ravioli?
What is it?
I think this guy's not so bad.
Also, he isn't in a good situation,
Put yourself in his place... His wife, his kid
How is she going to marry someone who has a wife?
You said his wife is in a coma
She's not dead yet
Maybe she'll never die
well, this is their problem
You know why his wife is in a coma?
No
How should I know?
Didn't mom tell you?
No
She tried to commit suicide
Because of depression?
Luci, What's wrong?
Luci
Look at me
Let's get some fresh air
What happened?
We want to get some fresh air
Ahmad...Take her to the back room there
You know why she doesn't tell anyone that his wife tried to commit suicide?
Let's talk later
Because she doesn't want anyone to know
What?
That she attempted suicide because of their relationship
You shouldn't talk about it with such certainty
Especially at your age
That woman told me I grew up, but you think I didn't
Sorry
Ahmad, I don't want them to be together
You think it's in my hands or yours?
I can't do anything
If they get married, I'll never go back to that house
Your mother is pregnant with his baby
No, that's a lie!
Hold on
Hold on I told you
You know why she went to that filthy man?
Because he was like you
Get the keys out of my pocket
The other side
Hi
You're all wet
Yeah
It suddenly got heavy
You want some coffee
No, I just came to take my suitcase
I have to get back
Look, It's over there
Wait till the rain stops
I don't suppose it will stop soon
Is Luci back?
No, watch out for the paint
It's handle was broken when they delivered it
Have you called her friends?
No, I can't call them anymore
Did you talk to her today?
Yes
Have got some sort of rope to tie it up with?
There's some in a suitcase in the shed
You can take them.
Are the kids asleep?
No
Would you turn it on?
Would you call the kids to give them their souvenirs
What about Fouad?
Yes, sure
You didn't have any plan for him
I've found something for him now
May I ask you not to do that
Why?
He has done something bad that should be punished for
Both of them are responsible for that, And both of them should be punished
I speak on behalf of my own child
What has he done?
Without permission they took the present out of your suitcase
But the present is here now
I put it back
I don't want him to think that the problem is solved
The suitcase was open, they were tempted
I asked them to apologise
This way they learn to get away with things by making an apology
I told them that I brought them some gifts. I can't ignore that
Would you stop it?
I punished them enough today
I just said if that's possible
Hello
Hi kids
No..no, first they should make an apology Both of them
I'm sorry
YOU?
I didn't take anything
But you were there, weren't you?
- But I didn't take anything - It's not important who did
You both were there, you should've told her not to do that
Say you are sorry
Apologize
I apologize
Say I'm sorry
I'm sorry
Look at him
Apologize
I'm sorry
Ok, Come and take your presents
Come on
You spoke like I took it
I just said I took nothing
So I did it
Yes, you took it
No
You told me that the suitcase was open
You didn't have to listen to me
I know why you're upset
Because he gave me a helicopter but you got coloured pencils
Shut up
You're crazy
Shut up
- You're sick - Shut up
I last took your size four years ago
It hasn't changed
I've got something for Luci, I'll give it to her tomorrow
Thank you Ahmad
You smoke alot
She hasn't been this late before
I'll go look for her
Where?
I don't know...subway, street Give me the car keys
You have them
Is it ok if I come?
Ok, If you want
Maybe she won't come back with him
Why did she cry in the restaurant?
Who told you?
I called Shahryar he told me she burst into tears
It's very late
What did you tell her?
Hadn't you told her that you're pregnant?
Did you tell her?
I thought she would back off
That's why she isn't back
- You shouldn't have told her - I didn't know
You couldn't hide it forever
Not in this situation
Her problem isn't your pregnancy
What is it then?
What is her problem? hmm?
She knows everything
She knows what?
I can't find the car keys
Well, look for them
We'll talk later
What did you mean she knows evetything?
I don't get it
She thinks his wife committed suicide because of your relationship
She killed herself because of...
I'll call you tomorrow
The keys are not here
I've found them
So what are you doing here?
What do you mean?
Does anyone have a problem with me being here?
I mean...
Enough
Wait for me please
Ahmad
His wife had been depressed for a long time
Every time I took my clothes to his dry cleaning...she was sick
Why?
What do you mean 'why'?
Forget it
Will you speak clearly
Look, you said she felt sick
No, I didn't say 'she got', I said 'she was'
She WAS sick!
Forget it, it's degenerating
You want to hear that I'm guilty
I don't want to hear anything
You asked me to talk to your daughter to see what her problem is
Now I'm telling you what she thinks
Well she's wrong
I'll talk to her
What are you going to tell her?
You think she believes you!?
You don't believe it either
It's her that has to believe it
Why don't you believe it, what's odd about it?
I don't think a a mother with a five years old kid
would kill herself because of depression
YOU are saying that!!!
Have you forgotten what state you were in?
She tried to kill herself with a nine months old baby,
because I was with you
It started when she delivered her baby
You want to know what drugs she took?
How long are you going to stay in Paris?
I haven't bought my ticket back yet, I don't know
Couldn't you get a lawyer instead of coming here yourself?
I prefered to come here myself to visit the girls and Marie
To end everything in a good way
Seemingly everything isn't finished yet
Some things are unresolved
No
Why do you think so?
When two people see each other after four years and fight
It means that some things are not resolved
Our argument was about Luci
I'm her problem, yeah?
No
It's a misunderstanding
About what?
Something personal that I shouldn't know about?
No, It's not personal
So tell me
I don't know if you're aware of it or not, she's pregnant
All the time stress - smoking and fighting
I'm worried about her, too
She didn't smoke before
If it was a small problem, she should come to see me
She doesn't have any problem, it's just a misunderstanding
What kind of misunderstanding is it that has ruined my life
Let Marie-Anne tell you
Don't involve her, ok?
She has an idea about your wife's suicide
That she has killed herself because of our relationship
You know it yourself
I heard you saying that to Marie
Ah, I see
She did that to herself over a silly fight with a client
I've been told that she had depression
She wouldn't have done it, if she hadn't
A silly fight
If Luci doesn't believe it, what can I do?
Tomorrow I'll send my employee to talk to her. She was involved in the dispute
Call the police and give them her details
Has it happened before?
No, it's her first time
Maybe she's with her father
In Brussels?
Isn't her father in Paris?
He's gone back to Brussels
Is it possible she might go there?
No
She doesn't have a good relationship with her father
Do you want me to call him?
Let Ahmad do that
I don't think she has gone to Brussels
I'll call him myself
Ok, give me his number
Shahryar called, he wants you to call him back
Where is the phone?
In the kitchen
Why does she have this idea?
What idea?
About Céline's suicide
I don't know
Here it is
Her father's number
Don't make him worried
She is with Shahryar
She went to his restaurant then he took her to his home
He called here twice, Why didn't he tell me anything?
He knew how worried I was
Let me explain
Why didn't he tell me she was there?
I was about to die, why did he tell me nothing?
Ok, I'll explain
What are you going to explain? hmm?
What do you want to explain?
What happened?
Nothing
I told you in the car, If anything happens you tell me not her
And I tell you don't shout at me
Why didn't he tell me Luci was there?
Luci made him promise
She had agreed to stay there on the condition that he tell no one
He made a promise to hide a sixteen-year-old girl?
Why did he take her to his home?
What do you mean 'hide her'? He took pity on her
He cares about her not her mother
Where are the keys?
What for?
She has to come back, sit down and talk to me
Now
Right now
She thinks we don't know where she is
I don't care
She needs to see what a mess she has made. The suicide has nothing to do with us
She won't come back with you.
I'll call the police if she doesn't
I'll really call the police
The police can get her back tonight. What about the other nights?
She stays here or goes to Brussels to her father
She won't come back while I'm here
Come in...
Why are you so late?
Don't you have an umbrella?
No
Put it here
How did you get here?
Subway
You'd better take a taxi
I couldn't find one
You've put yourself in the way of trouble.
Is she awake?
She fell asleep
When did she come to you?
Late... I thought she was waiting for you
You should've informed us at once Her mother was about to die...
How?...You don't have a cellphone!
I called her home to find you But you were not there either
I feared if I told her mother, she would leave
What's happened?
Some illusions...
Sorry to wake you up.
She wanted to come herself, but I asked her not to
Let's go
Where is your coat?
No, I won't go there.
I don't want to go back tonight.
Ok, I call her. Talk to her yourself
Hello Marie?
She wants to talk to you
Yeah
I'll stay here tonight.
Why did you hang up?
She put the phone down.
Let's go.
No.
Get up.
I want to talk to you.
I want you to listen to me carefully.
I don't know how well you can remember the last months that I was with your mother
You remember anything?
You remember how bad my situation was?
Yeah.
I didn't feel well at all.
I didn't work. I didn't get out. I just wanted not to exist anymore.
That's why when your mother says that woman committed suicide
bacause of depression I completely understand.
Even if she had a little kid.
Did you think about suicide much?
Yes, sometimes.
Like drinking laundryý liquid in front of us.
What?
No.
You think when a woman drinks laundry liquid and tries to kills herself,
when her husband is enjoying himself, she only wants to die?
Why not take pills in her bed?
We can sit here and make up thousands of these stories.
But they're only a guess.
Tomorrow we're going to meet Samir's worker. She has something to tell you.
Tell her I'm going. She can come back now.
We had better not be here for a while.
Fouad...get off
Get up.
Leave me.
I told you get up.
Come on. Stop it.
Thanks.
What are you doing? When I tell you get off, you have to do it.
Look at me. When I'm talking. Listen to me.
Leave me.
What did you say?
Leave me.
Don't do that again to me. Why did you do that?
Look at me. What is it?
Take your pillow.
No.
What's wrong with you?
Fouad, Speak up.
I want to go back to Marie's home.
We have to get back to our own home for a while.
you said we don't live there anymore.
Forever.
Yeah. But now it's different.
Because that man came?
No.
Because I was naughty yesterday?
No.
Why does Luci hate you?
Because she thinks I want to take her mother away from her.
She doesn't like her mother either.
Of course she does. Like all kids.
Like you.. Didn't you miss your mom?
Mom's not home.
Do you want to see her? Do you want me to take you to her?
No.
Why?
I'm afraid
Of mom?
Of that man.
Why do you say that Fouad?
If he hadn't been there they wouldn't have kept her in the hospital
They would have unplugged the wires.
Does she die if they unplug the wires?
Why don't they do that?
Because they don't know if she wants to live with the wires or not
She wants to die.
How do you know?
When someone commits suicide it means that they want to die.
Sorry dad.
Here it is. The stain.
Did his wife work there?
A couple of days. Samir asked her to come... for a change of mood.
That day Céline had a fight with one of the clients.
"Céline" his wife?
Yes his wife.
She had a fight because the client insisted that her clothes were stained here.
But Céline told her that they had been stained before.
That's all?
Yeah. Then I said we can wash her clothes again and she can take them tomorrow.
Then Céline got angry with me and said no one asked you anything.
I'm the one who makes the decisions here.
She said these clothes were stained before and it has nothing to do with us
and then threw them out of the store.
And the client called the police.
I wanted to get out of the store.
Are you an illegal worker here?
Yes I am.
Céline asked me to stay and tell the police that her clothes were stained before.
I didn't know what to do. Then I quietly called Samir to come.
When he came he made an apology to the client and accepted paying for the damage caused
The client agreed on the condition that Céline make an apology
Céline said 'no' and then started fighting with me for calling Samir.
When I gathered up my stuff to go, Samir caught my hand
and told me to stay and asked his wife to leave.
He dismissed her in front of me and that client and I stayed.
How many days later did she attempt suicide?
About four or five.
Can I go?
Thank you.
That's the way depression is.
You kill yourself for nothing.
One day before Céline suicided
I sent her all the love affair emails between Samir and my mother.
What are you gonna do now?
I'll go to Brussels.
That's nonsense
You can't stay with your father even for two days.
You have to go back to your mother.
I can't stand to see someone everyday when I caused his wife to kill herself.
I can't look at her kid.
Take a seat.
Do you want me to help you?
I don't want Mom to know
Listen.
I don't.
I told you take a seat.
Sit down.
I shouldn't have told you.
Listen.
You have two choices: you can keep it secret and be in torment forever
or tell your Mom everything
What's the difference?
It may have an impact on her getting married.
She won't change her decision. She's pregnant.
Imagine if she learns when she has his baby. It's too late then.
If I'd wanted I could've told her during the last few months.
It doesn't matter what you want
You should see if it's important for your mother to know or not
She deserves to know.
Hi Mom.
You ok? Would you open the door for me?
Did you get me potato crisps?
Yes I did.
You're here!!
I was upstairs with Luci.
Are you ok?
How was your meeting?
What meeting?
With Samir's worker.
Yeah...not bad.
Well?
You didn't tell Luci that I was coming?
No.
So how did she know?
Did she know?
How?
I don't know.
Maybe she checks your emails.
Where do you put it?
Did something happen?
Are you in the mood of taking a walk?
No I'm tired?
What's wrong Ahmad?
You want to live with Dad?
If you go I'll come with you.
You need to stay with Mom.
I want to be with you.
Don't think about it
Dad's wife is strange, isn't she?
It's ok.
Is he right?
Why did you do that to me?
What did I do to deserve this? You piece of shit
What did I do to you?
Let her go Marie
Calm down...Calm down
Take it easy.
Let go of my hand...Let go of my hand
Don't do this...Didn't you promise?
Get out of this house.
Go out for a moment.
Leave me alone.
She is in a difficult situation herself
I asked her to tell you.
She could have kept it hidden.
Was it better this way?
You don't talk.
Why are you still here? Get out of this house.
Get lost.
I don't want to see you anymore.
Stop it.
Go to your room.
Go dear.
Keep in mind that it was you who wrote them. She just forwarded them.
I don't want to listen to you...Go
I hate it when you make out that you're a good man and want to teach me lessons.
I don't want to give you lessons.
You told me to come here and talk to Luci.
It wasn't for Luci that I asked you to come, It was for that fucking divorce paper
Listen
After four years..
Listen
Why didn't you tell me to come last year?
Why did you ask me to come in the middle of this shit?
Shame on you.
You wanted to get married without telling me.
Go check your emails...
You didn't you book a hotel?
Don't talk rubbish.
You made me sleep with his kid in one room. Why?
I sent you that email.
You brought me here to avenge.
Yeah, You're right. You happy now?
Then you tell me you're pregnant in court.
Why?
Don't you want to go?
Go for God's sake...Go
Just go...
She's leaving...
Luci, Where're you going? Come back
Who are you to tell me what to do?
Please Luci...Don't make it worse.
Why did you tell her?
You agreed
You made me.
I didn't want you to be in torment for the rest of your life.
I'm not now?
Is everything ok now?
Wait...
Have you got some money?
Hold on...I'll come with you.
Hold on...
I'll go myself
Ahmad
Can I ask you something?
What?
What was in those emails?
I don't know.
Come back home
Ahmad
Ahmad...look at me
If you stretch it anymore, you're done...
Stop
You remember me and Mitra?
Stop
This world can go on without me and you !!
Sometimes I think if I hadn't gone four years ago...
If you hadn't gone four years ago you'd have gone the next year
If not one year after...two years after
You didn't belong here...
What did I tell you the first day?
You have to chose to be here or there...
You wanna tell him?
You can't tell him anything.
Go to sleep.
Turn the lights off.
Is Samir here?
Yeah..Upstairs
Hello.
Hello Fouad
You ok?
Yes
Do you have a minute?
Yeah
Come in.
What are they?
Her perfumes.
I'm taking them to hospital for a test. Her nurse said sense of smell is the last to go
This one is yours.
She liked it.
What's up?
Nothing
Why don't you come in?
I have to go.
I don't like it when you hide your feelings
I'm not hiding anything.
It's a good news that she reacts to something right?
How would you like me to answer you?
You're stuck between me and her.
Did you come to this conclusion today?
No.
It's been a long time.
When?
What do you mean when?
Because you didn't speak like this last week.
I didn't dare to...
Maybe I wasn't sure
Sure about what?
I feel I'm only going to fill the void left by your wife
And whose empty place am I going to fill?
No one's
You sure?
That I'm not a compensation for your unrequited love?
If it was so, I wouldn't get pregnant.
It was unplanned.
I could abort it.
You kept it to efface his memory.
Believe me that relationship has come to an end !!!
You don't beleive that. Otherwise you would have let him go to a hotel.
You think I don't know why you feel bad? I don't know you anymore.
I feel bad because I know why your wife committed suicide.
Don't involve her, Ok?
Your wife knew it.
Don't repeat the nonsense that your daughter says.
She would've told me at the end, if she had known it.
She never asked you anything about me?
Like what?
I don't know; Why you go out and come back that much!
No, You were like the other clients.
What about you? Wasn't she suspicious of you?
No.
I wish she were.
I wish she had been worried that I might be with someone or not.
I'd have known I was important to her.
Luci sent her our emails.
How did she get her email address?
Your wife gave it to her.
Had she met her?
Luci called the dry cleaning
and told your wife that she has some of our emails that she wanted to send her.
And your wife told her to send them.
When did she call her?
The day before her suicide.
Naïma come here.
After that fight when I told my wife to leave here...
Yes
Did she used to come when I wasn't here?
No.
She didn;t pass by when she wanted to go upstairs
I didn't see her the last days
Didn't she ever come down?
Yeah. Just the last day.
How about before?
No, Why?
I've been told that someone called here and talked to my wife.
You can go.
Hello, madame.
- Good day Madame. - Thank you. Bye
Can you take over until I get back
Samir!
Sorry mom.
Just don't lie to me again.
What did I lie to you about?
That you sent those emails.
Do you promise me?
Ok?
Why do you think that I lied to you?
Because she wasn't in the dry cleaning the day before her suicide.
But I talked to her.
No.
Yes I did.
She had an accent.
His wife is French.
Hi.
Why did you do that?
What?
Why did you do that?
What?
Why did you introduce yourself as my wife and give that girl her email address?
I'm sorry.
I don't want you to say sorry, Just tell me why.
Speak up.
She didn't like me.
She didn't like you? why? Had you done something?
No.
So why didn't she like you?
She believed there was something between me and you.
She believed so?
Why? Why did she think so?
Because you let me work here without any papers. She was supicious of me.
Did she tell you anything?
No.
So what is this bullshit?
I think she always wanted to get rid of me.
You think?
Out.
She never asked me to fire you.
But she always...
She did things to get you to fire me.
Like what? hmm?
Ha? I asked you like waht?
Many things.
Like what?
Sorry
Like what?
The day that client called the police she wouldn't let me go. She said I had to stay.
It doesn't have any relationship.
She wanted the police to know that I'm not allowed to work here.
Just this?
That's why she is in coma now?
Get lost!
I washed, ironed and put in a cover the clothes we had a fight about.
Get out.
I'm sure there was no stain on them. She did it herself on purpose.
I'd been here for one year. No clothes were stained like that before.
How much of your payment is left?
It's what I do everyday There was no stain on those clothes.
I swear to God those clothes weren't stained. She did that on purpose.
Get lost.
Get out.
I just wanted her to know that there is nothing between me and you.
You were always in a bad mood and thinking about someone else.
But she thought it was because of me.
That day when you took my hand
and didn't let me go; instead, you booted her out
I looked in her eyes
I know what she was thinking.
You know what you did...
mother of an eight-year-old boy
in the hospital like a piece of meat.
I didn't do anything.
You gave that girl her email address.
If she had read the emails she would have understood everything.
She wouldn't have stood in front of me to drink laundry liquid.
She would've gone to that pharmacy in front of that woman to do that
Or up there in front of you.
Why before me?
Won't she come here anymore?
Who?
Naïma
No
Why?
She did something bad.
She said she was sorry.
Somethings can't be forgiven.
Like what?
What has happened to your finger?
Nothing.
I want to get back to Lea
We can't at the moment
Until When?
Until your mother's situation becomes clear.
- When will it become clear? - I don't know.
I get bored here.
Why don't you come down with me?
I don't like it down here.
Hello
Go up for a moment Fouad.
How are you?
Can I go with Marie then?
Go and get your stuff.
Go.
Would you draw something for Mom?
Ok.
Sit down.
You think she read those emails?
I don't know.
If she had read them...
She would've told you something about it.
We didn't talk to each other after that fight. She went into a sulk with me.
Even if she had read them, you said yesterday
She didn't care if there was someone else in your life
Was it important?
Maybe
I don't know... I prefer to talk about the present
The past is gone
What I know now is that you're pregnant
We have to forget it
Could we?
We have to
What if we don't?
Is your wrist better?
It still hurts a little.
Didn't you go to a doctor?
Lack of calcium; the baby takes it all.
How many months?
About three
I thought your wrist hurt because of painting.
I don't know.
Maybe.
There's something I want to tell you before I go.
About what?
When I left...
It's not important
I wanted to make it clear
No.
I don't want to get back to the past
Forget it.
So I'll be going.
What about your stuff in the shed?
I don't want it
Take it.
What are you doing?
My helicopter got stuck
You broke it!
No, it's just stuck
Can you reach it?
Wait...Wait
Be careful
You're going?
Yeah I'm going
Bye Fouad
Bye
Unfortunately she showed no reaction.
Nothing?
I saw nothing.
You mean both times that she clawed at her stomach were involuntary
Maybe. This test doesn't help us to know how conscious she is
But she had never clawed at her stomach before.
I can't tell, Maybe it happened when the nurse was trying to move her
Their skin is so sensitive.
But ... doctor
How can I be sure?
Through more tests.
However, If they're negative there will still be room for doubt
In this situation you can never be sure
I put the perfumes next to her bed.
Excuse me, but did you test all of them?
No just one or two.
Bye.
If you can smell it Céline, squeeze my finger.
