I don't know when I was born

I don't know if I cried, I did cry

each baby cries

but I don't know whether they cry for pain

or for happiness

I think they cry for pain

and life make people feel painful



immediately

Body to Body

please, please, attention please

you love her, you want to have a look at her

she is here, getting ready for you,
nothing serious

but be careful that tonight,
Laura will give up her show

she will resign

she won't show up any more

gentlemen, it is her last show for you tonight

now, she is showing up!

Doris, my dear Doris

you lost me, you've lost me

just imagine the last night full of moonlight

and the last night of hell



how long have we spend like this?

his name is Marco, a landscape architect

he is a rich man

I am from Lyons

I got a lot of jobs there

and I bought a house

I am very satisfied of that

in my house, I put a piano

this man must be crazy

and stupid!

he has never got to know one woman

no matter how many times you've got rejects,
dejected leavings

and undone dreams

dusk, night, you put on an air of cheerfulness
just for not weeping?

do you go along with it?

I go along with teeth

then, your little brother will get some plastic operations

just like setenced to be in prison

a cop? no, just a buyer

give him the price list

you left everything just for free

maybe you would be a musician if you didn't do this

do you think it is too late?

maybe it's a dream, I must be drunk at that time

nothing impossible, Laura

how many chances do I have to find you?

I have even thought you don't exist

he is a virgin

you changed my life, Laura

I don't consider the opinions of other people,
whatever they think about you and me,

the only thing I want is you

you... and a child

our child

I will be off the day after tomorrow

I should have introduced you to each other

but I hide him for me, It's like a secret

you get your salary, don't you?

he is a wealthy

and he will get rid of you

idiot!

nobody will love a stripteaser

I should have continued dreaming another life

but I won't try it

because I am frightened of seeing other things

frightened of making mistakes

frightened of leaving you

you are my best and intimate friend, my ally

the movers will arrive at ten

do you feel happy? yes

well, go back home

I am worried about you alone at the park

Doris, you must pay for the cost

which is not predicted

I don't know about it

and neither did Marco

don't look at me like that! you never so much as amorous

do you believe the story of fairy? I am too old to believe it

I don't want to end my life as you do,
neither do I as others do

I believe I won't be back

just like a scalewing jumping into fire

what's happened between you and me make me painful.
Then, you've lost yourself

you've gone, leaving only a blank

just like on the edge of a cliff, or like a bombing tyre

just like that, maybe you step a pace,
or turn the steering wheel sharply

backwards, you will be alive, forwards, you will die

when people found me, I was unconscious

in my burning car, I was seriously injured

I got fifteen operations

just like shutting in a tomb

I didn't remember anything in that months

including the accident

and my coma

all the things

but one day, I woke up

I believed that in a tree,

a bird was singing

I tell to that I believed it, but I was ignorous about it

Marco told me that we were the survivals

like two little flowers on buring land

he also told me that

when the sun rise was right now

but what was in my head was nothing

only full of sex

and what we've done for earning money

only thinking of my broken body

I don't want to expose it

but Marco has inimitable patience,
goodness, and childly immaculacy

he see the promise of happiness in the sky

he swears every morning

for our happiness of living together

that's strange

but I am fond of my silence

just like a veil to protect me and a shell to guard me

Doris, it is like a parenthesis between

my past and me

yes, I like my silence

almost momently

Marco said that he didn't care about
even my losing the ability of hearing

and he didn't care about my body

but I was sure that he told a lie,
but his lie was so pleasant

and he loved me so much that finally I loved me too

"I love you"

he told me

"your scars are the chaplet wrapping me up"

"looking like some bright words on your body"

"you live, and I won't die"

gradually, he made me face my life

and I also disremembered my pain

just like a delivery

angels lead us

Marco

generally

It will be a daughter, given to he and me

we want you to be her godmother

we want you to come

we are dreaming for a brilliant future

and we know that everything will be possible

then, come on

come to visit us, come on

now, I am a happy one

if you don't believe,
you can visit us to find the truth, I will prove you

if you are willing to come,
just have a look at my happiness

look at my charming prince

look at the fairy story of me

I wiil wait for you, Doris

I will be waiting for you,
with my whole concernment and love

and our friendship

Laura

An accident occured
between Marseilles and Nice 7 years ago

Can I have a look at the report of police?

Not here, not in Nice

Not in anywhere

Any investigation on murder?

This is confidential

so I should be able to see my...

Record of that accident?

When and where

Name, first name and identity card

March of 1996, 26th's night, nestle road.

Laura Bartelli

What?

Nothing happened on that day

You must be kidding

Maybe argument with some customer?

Translate!

Laura Bartelli

Have been a stripteaser for 3 years in "Moon Light"

streetwalking

Is she retired?

What?

March the 26th, 1996

Lots of cars on fire

grifting insurance?

This was an accident! Trying to murder someone!
The same as the one in Nice.

Next!

Wasn't it my accident?

You'd better go out!

Answer me!

I want to see my report

No accident report, nothing!

You can shout, I can't hear anything. Goodbye

It's her!

Lady...

Lady...

No! Leave me!

I can tell you by this

And this?

Isn't this an accident?

I don't want to die like you

He will leave you after half a month

No one will fall in love with a bitch!

I did this for your friend Jeannot

He would have less fear

Laura...

I will find it

There are more that 20 hospitals and 50 clinics in Marseilles...

Laura Bartelli isn't involved in any case.

public and private. No accident announcement

Paralysis by heavily hurt all over...

She left the hospital like this?
No practise treatment?

Unbelievable. It can't be.

She could have never left bed.

She couldn't remember any nurse? Any doctor?

There isn't a doctor looking after her?

This is impossible!

Not here, not anywhere else

How is her seam and pills?

Chizi prata

Shape, color and this.

What's this? Ciclosporin

For what?

Resist antibody reaction

Widely used in transplant. Smallest risk.

What?

That's it.

Only these discs are about transplant

Information of amateur, photod by students

Others are reserved for researcher and students

Information about supplier of connecting HLA system...

The same as the receiver, nearly zero antibody risk

The method is to decrease treatment.

No matter what

This is an unusual case

We are going to work on HLA system...

consistent property of supplier and receiver

Their percentage of CMH is similar

We have chance to succeed.

All transplant could be possible

The receiver who receive the heart also accept this.

His liver, lung, kidney, skin

The first successful multi-transplant case
was made in Marseilles

A man at 51 years old

good consistent property with a...

excellent and young doctor

made us beat the challenge.

Reverse!

I will come to you once I get the chance.

Thanks

What's the matter? Lady?

Stop!!

She is mad! Tell her husband!

You go to take something

I want Gigi!

Gigi will never come back

It died, Gigi.

Hurry up!

Jeannot, Come on!

Come on, Jeannot!

Those key person called this "Brain Death"

Me too, I also call it like this...

But I was wrong

This is not right

Totally

The brain, diea indeed...

But the body, it still working

Body, is half of the life

One day, I met your mom.

She phlebotomized to analyse

I was in charge of this little part

As a doctor, but better...

Then I observed...

You mom and you sister's mom...

just like twins

Not the body, they even don't know each other

But inside, inside their bodies.

They are the same

This is very unusual

This was great, for a doctor.

I considered this as a sign, a miracle

Do you understand?

I had been look for this for long

I looked for her everywhere, your mom.

and we fell in love with each other

She and I, loved each other very much

Then was her accident?

That was not an accident

She agreed

She couldn't remember

Go back, I am worried if you stay at the park alone.

Laura!

Laura, don't be afraid. It's me!

Laura, are you alright?

What are you doing here?

I need you!

What's wrong with you?

This is very important. We could change our life

Do something for getting happyness. I will explain to you

You wanna try?

Maybe, alright...

This is important. No one knows except us.

Just like a secret. Do you want to get happyness?

So, forgive me

Forgive me

That's Middazura, a powerful anaesthetic

few hours rude and crucial memory

You will lose your memory

I swear to you, we will be happy

She can't remember

She can't remember...

Take it now

I said now, now!

Your daughter, is she here?

What? Answer me!

Come back!

Jeannot, come back!

What did mom say?

Not in your reach?

Whom should I call? Firemen? S.A.M.U.?

No, it's 4 AM now...

hello...hello?

Get away, I should go!

Mom!

Mom!

Jeannot, is that you?

Is that you, my baby?

Jeannot, Jeannot

Find flashlight in the kitchen, hurry up!

If "yes", flash once. If "not", twice.

Is dad there?

Is he out?

Can you go out?

Is the door locked?

Can you go out from the window?

Be quick

come on!

That's easy

Press the black big button

Then make sure the light is off

After that, leave the house
and go to your dad's sanctum at the back

There is a metal box

There is a powerhouse, it can work

Cut it off! Alright?

I don't understand, you know it?

I even believe that you have killed them

Don't move

Just like in the hospital! Stop talking

I don't understand

You hear it?

I can make a deal with you!

I didn't lie to you.
I have thought about this for a while night!

All you did were very good

This can't baffle I am happy

Why Jeannot don't want this?

Marco, I did one thing stupid.

We have cut off your power and powerhouse.

Do we have time to retrieve?

Maybe

Laura! Laura!

Is she really me sister?

Laura!

Did you drive your car here?

Time to go! Now!

No!

Laura!

I will slit it if you come closer!

Don't move!

Don't move! Let him go

We will say nothing

I have informed redcap, police, everyone

Jeannot, come to me

No! No!

Come to see your dad. No

Marco, I tell you!

Don't come forward! Don't move!

Don't move! Come here, Jeannot!

Come here! No!

Gigi, tread it!

No!

Jane!

Get away! Right now!

Two months later

You have recovered 60%...

hearing

This is not usual for cochlea transplant

How about my hands?

I can introduce you a chirurgeon

but one face mending operation

is not interesting

get it

I have made my decision.
I want to make operation on it.

Fuck off!

I told mom everything that day

What dad told me, everything I understood

their tears, everything

I have told you

I will never come back

And you? Me neither.

But I am lying. I will always back.

but I didn't tell mom, I didn't want to

maybe just because of this...

not long after that, Gigi...

died

mom taught lessons for deaf children

Where we live is not far away, Marseilles.

I believe she is the happiest woman now

I, I don't know

I seems to be waiting for something when I got there

I am waiting for another retrieve, a sign, a miracle

I don't know, but it didn't show up

Sometimes my tears is going to run...

but I hold everything and keep it deep in my heart

Now, it seems that I have got my own ocean

Yesterday, I met a doctor in school

He said I am during inflexion

maybe I have my father's voice

I don't know whether I like it.

But no matter how, my father's voice, his manner

I can't remember

I always remember. I am looking for it, I am waiting

but I still can't remember

so I am still waiting...
