A young woman inherits her family's historic home on the coast of Brittany, a house she has not been to since her father died there when she was age 12.
Subtitles translated, corrected & extended by JJ
Are you in a hurry today?
I have an office
meeting at 3:00.
I won't be here next week.
Where are you going
this time? Luxor, Tbilisi?
To Quimper.
Where's Quimper?
In Finister.
You organising
trips to Finistere?
No. It's about the house.
We have five minutes.
Two and a half.
See what I can do
in two and a half minutes!
Wait, I'll fix it.
Excuse me, sir.
The wife has a meeting at 3 p.m.
And because she's a bit neurotic,
she's terrrifed she'll lose the respect of
co-workers if she's two minutes late.
Could you perhaps...?
Ok!
My wife is neurotic?
If I said "my mistress",
it wouldn't work.
Are you coming with me?
I'm two minutes away.
No, I mean Monday
at Quimper with me.
No, I'm sorry.
Forget it.
No, no, not at all.
Don't apologize, it's just...
complicated.
It would be our first
night together since...
Yes, since that time.
Is the train from
Montparnasse?
At 15.08 h.
Oh I understand.
I'll do my best.
Shouldn't we meet
on the platform?
You don't have luggage?
I can't go with you.
Thelma broke her
arm while exercising.
Marianne is with her in hospital,
and I'm going back.
Is it bad?
No, a simple break, but...
she's very frightened.
Poor thing.
I'm sorry.
It's me who's sorry,
because...
I wanted to at least kiss
you before you go.
That's nice.
I mustn't miss my train.
See you soon.
HOUSE IN BRITTANY
[Cornouaille is like Cornwall in French]
Notary Mevel?
Yes.
Odile Cauret.
Ah yes, absolutley.
Can I take your suitcase?
No need, thank you.
I parked the car in front.
Over there.
You approached me immediately.
Pardon?
You knew right
away it was me.
Is it so obvious
that I'm a notary?
Well, aren't you?
Yes, of course, but...
who wants to look
like a notary, huh?
Err... notaries?!
I thought I'd take you straight to the
house to sign the house-sale papers
- Does that suit you?
- Yes, great.
Thank you,
you're very kind.
Any better?
Yeah, nothing serious.
I already have an agency that can
take on the sale of the house.
Your aunt's heart
atttack was so sudden.
It must be very sad for you.
Frankly, I barely knew her.
The agency is
"Real Estate Finistere".
But I haven't made it exclusive.
Maybe you can find a buyer?
You should look
at the house first.
It's by the sea, in the
middle of nowhere.
You may not want to sell it.
Aren't you
interested in business?
Yes, yes, of course.
It's my profession, after all.
It's the tie that
marks me as a notary?
It's bland, no?
Maybe a fun pattern?
Maybe.
There you are!
It's a lot smaller
than I remember.
How old were you then?
12 years.
It's normal. It's
always like that.
- Here are the keys.
- Thank you.
I'll turn on the water.
It's got a little leak.
It's muddy.
- That's kind.
- You're welcome.
Can you give me more light?
I can't see anything here.
What was that?
The house keys.
Cathy.
Cathy.
I'm coming.
- Good afternoon, Daniel.
- Good afternoon, Cathy.
This is Ms. Odile Cauret,
Bernardette's niece.
Over there.
Well, that's not good
I'm sure she left them there.
She showed several times.
You don't have spares?
No, they used to be here.
Erwan is with his father.
He would know.
Erwan is my son.
He was with your
aunt the whole time.
I can call my ex-husband
because of an emergency.
No, no, I've bothered
you enough already.
I'll find a hotel in
Audiern for the night.
That's be no problem
You're certainly
not going to a hotel.
That would be silly.
Hello?
It's good, I'm not home,
we don't have to whisper.
Me neither. But I don't
want to wake the neighbors.
Which neighbors?
Key problems.
- Listen, I wanted to...
Good evening, Fabrice.
You have a bike now?
I might buy one.
I'm thinking about it.
This situation is not for me.
The secrets, the
lies, it's not me.
Do you want us
to break up?
I didn't say that.
I wouldn't die if we break up.
It's not the first time you've left me.
Pardon?
Are you kidding me?
I seem to remember it was you
who left me 10 years ago.
Yes.... ok...
technically, perhaps,
but to be honest, the
intention was clearly yours.
Intention?
Good evening.
... ok, good night.
I have them.
Shall I unlock
your garage too?
Yes, that would kind.
Wait, I'll ask my father.
I'll be right there.
Father!
Father!
Father!
Father!
Dad has an asthma attack.
Dr. Huët arrives in half an hour.
What's mummy to do?
Call the paramedics?
I don't know what to do.
Breathe, Breathe.
Stay over there.
I don't know what to do.
The keys to the
car in the garage.
I'm going.
- I'm going to Audierne.
- Can I go with you?
You could drop me at the bridge.
That would be kind.
It's on your way.
I'll show you.
Are you going to take
the coast road?
I don't know. I don't
recognise any of it.
The sea is more beautiful.
In fine weather you can
see the island of Sein.
Well, not from here, but...
Do you know the children's song?
Whoever sees Molene sees his grief.
Whoever sees Ouessant sees his blood.
Whoever sees the
Seine sees his end.
And that's a children's song?
That is a monument
for the Anaons...
a group of souls
doomed to wander.
It is said that the
souls of the drowned...
Isn't there a local legend that
has nothing to do with death?
Nope!
You'll stay for
how many nights?
I don't know yet.
One or two.
Not much time to
enjoy the fresh air.
I don't enjoy it
so much. Thanks.
What are you doing here?
Odile?
How glad I am
to see you. Hello.
Let's have a drink
I brought a bottle of cider.
Now you can light a nice fire.
But you have the house keys?
You don't remember me?
I'll give you a hint...
Pavec's children.
Go on!
Guess who I am.
I'm sorry, but Le Pavec's
children means nothing to me.
It's not nice to forget
your first boyfriend.
Loïc Le Pavec, the first
guy you ever kissed.
You can remember that, surely?
But I can remember
that very well.
The first boy I kisssed was
Mathieu Fourier in 4th grade.
No, it was me.
Loïc Le Pavec.
In the summer when
you were 12 years old.
I can show you under
which tree it happened.
My brother engraved
our names on it.
Did my aunt give
you the spare keys?
Of course. She showed
me where she hid them.
Bernardette and I were close.
Especially after Marc's death.
Did you know about Marc?
Marc? Which Marc?
My little brother.
You were the same age.
He drowned three years ago.
I didn't know.
I'm sorry, really.
Did my aunt give
you the keys?
If you want, I can put them
back in their usual place.
No, give them to me.
I'll hand them over to the agency.
You're going to sell the house?
You can't do that.
You loved being here so much.
You've really changed.
You hardened,
closed in on yourself.
Give me the keys.
Ah yes. Right.
Good...
I'm going.
Thanks for the
cider and firewood.
You're welcome.
You mustn't chop wood
in your condition.
In what condition?
You're pregnant, yes?
No, not at all.
- Hello.
- Hello.
I know who you are.
Good for you!
I don't know who you are.
I'm Katel.
I live there.
But in the evening,
I'm with Cathy, your neighbor.
You throwing that away too?
No, you can
take it if you want.
Will you join us
for our magic stuff?
What magic stuff?
In the your shed.
Bernadette lets me play
there with the others.
No, I'm just looking
after the house.
I'll leave you all
to your magic stuff.
Ok.
Fabrice, it's me.
Call me if you can.
It's over! I can’t be
in this relationship.
I'm leaving you.
You don't care. You're not
saying a word to keep me.
Why are you leaving me?
I told you I didn't
want to have a child!
But you've made one
behind my back!
I don't understand.
In any case,
It's me who's the father.
What?
Here... Look.
It's carved, yes?
It's completely absurd.
It doesn't prove
you're the father.
Dad, did you know
I was pregnant?
Only because you've just told me.
Does it make you happy?
Is this something you wanted?
I don't know.
I was not expecting it at all!
Is it by someone you love?
I don’t know if
I can be in love.
This man has come back
into my life many times.
Do you think I should
keep the baby, anyway?
I don't know.
I don't know about your life.
I don't know you.
You were 12 when I died.
You're almost my age now.
So you know nothing about me?
No.
And you... have you
forgotten me a lot?
I've been dead for 20 years.
All traces of me have
almost been erased.
If I had this baby,
you wouldn't know him?
No.
Odile? Odile?
Odile.
It's not good to sleep on wet sand.
It'll make you ill!
How did you know I was pregnant?
You see, I was right!
Are you happy?
Was the baby planned?
No, it wasn't.
Will the Dad be happy?
No.
Are you married?
No.
Do you live together?
Not at all.
He lives with another.
A child should not be sentenced
to a life without a father...
no security, without protection.
Yeah, well... Marc and I,
we had a father.
Rather, we had to protect
ourselves from him.
The blows we took from him...
Do you remember him?
Unfortunately, no.
I don’t remember
my childhood well.
I don't even remember
my father very well.
I recognize him in his photo.
I know it's him.
But the memories are very dim.
You don't know how to
live with your dead?
You can't be on good terms with the living,
if you can't live with the dead.
I never said I was on
good terms with the living.
It's true, you're really hard.
I find you very distrustful,
not very interested
in others at all.
You're lucky to be cute.
You appear really
sensitive at heart
By what right are
you telling me this?
We're friends, no?
No, not at all.
We've not known
each other very long.
It'll come back to you.
Were you sitting there yesterday,
when I was driving by?
I love coming here
and thinking of Marc.
At home, my parents made
a shrine with a lot of memories.
I'd rather come here.
In the open air.
Rather than the cemetery?
There's no grave.
His ship sank. No
bodies were found.
Oh shit, my cousins
must be waiting.
Say, by the way...
Thomas, Antoine?
Yes, we're here.
- Freud, I'm telling you.
- What?
Hello.
When did you get here?
Hi
Ten minutes ago.
Coffee?
Yes.
Did you buy bread from Fredon?
Yes.
No, always buy bread from Gonidec.
Everyone knows that.
Fredon is only for croissants.
And even that's debatable!
How did you get in?
We took the hidden spare keys.
Where?
Under the pot at the entrance.
No, they weren't there.
Is this some sort of inquisition?
Not too much. Thanks.
What are we supposed to eat?
Art books, Chinese hats,
yellow chest of drawers, model ship,
collection of bottles, silverware.
- Hansel and Gretel.
But of course...
Hansel and Gretel.
Hansel and Gretel,
the Colombian statue.
The Racoon.
I know, we look like predators.
Not at all, take what you want.
I won't keep anything.
What is 'Nicolas Billiards'
What does it look like?
Like billiards, just round.
You afraid of spiders?
Yes.
Nothing serious. Continue.
Are there any ghosts?
Yes!
Ask Aunt Bernardette's ghost,
where she put the Calvados!
- Is this what Mum wanted?
- Yes.
I'm so pissed off. She doesn't
know anything about the house.
She doesn't care.
She's going to trash a home that we adore.
- Why did she inherit it?
- Because she's the poor orphan.
"Leave it all to Odile,
her father's dead."
"She needs to be helped."
Haven't we given
her enough already?
Where's "The Club of 5" book?
I've no idea.
The bedroom library?
- You think so?
- Yes.
Why did I she leave me
this damn house?
I hoped to redeem myself.
Redeem for what?
When your father started
choking, I panicked.
I didn't respond well.
It was a question of minutes,
and I lost them.
I didn't get married,
I didn't start a family.
How could I have children
if I'd already made an orphan?
It really turned your
life upside down too?
We are all connected.
All of us are connected
to each other.
Didn't you know that?
I'm sorry the house
doesn't make you happy.
It’s hard to know what
will make you happy.
Well, did you find it?
Yes, I'm coming.
It's there!
Ah! Can you tell me where
you stashed the Calvados?
There they are,
the cheese thingies.
- Hi Jean-Yves.
- Hello, how are you?
- Did they change your spot?
- Yes, they did.
They are great.
What do you fancy?
I don't know.
Peaches.
We'll have some
peaches, please.
Hello, Fabrice Labret.
Leave a message, please.
It's Odile.
I just wanted to say I'm fine.
Although it's a
little different here.
It's a little bit...
well, different!
The little neighbour is
like a vampire
and my childhood friend
is like a serial killer!
Only the notary
looked like a notary.
And me, err...
I'm pregnant...
But you mustn't worry.
I'll stay here for a few more days.
Then deal with
my... 'little problem'
before I go back to Paris.
There, it's going to be fine.
Everything is under control.
Besides that... err...
Besides that, the air
is very good here. I....
- Things, a bit metaphysical.
- Oh!
Gently...
Towrads the thing...
Oh la la,
No, no no...
I see you.
You're blowing on the ball...
Don't let go,
that's it, that's it.
- She's got nothing left,
- No juice left.
Commitment!
Don't spit!
Where's the bottle?
I'll get it. Don't
cheat while I'm away...
No, no, no! We're playing..
- There you go!
- Ah!
Hold on,
two seconds.
- Don't hold back! Bah, bah, bah!
- I'll have some too.
That's it, it's had its effect.
Off you go!
Do you want a present?
Big sucker!
- Ah, that's nice.
- And elegant.
That's it...
Commit.
- You have everything?
- Yes, thank you.
You were cool.
Really!
Oh yes, we couldn't
find a photo album.
It's in a red box
with gold patterns on top.
If you get you hands on it...
If I find it, I'll put it
aside for you. Promise!
Are you sure you
really want to sell it?
It's such a great place here.
I always thought my kids
would run around this beach too.
What's this with the violins?
Come, shut up!
Let her live!
Bye.
Bon Voyage.
Hello
Ah, hello.
What are you doing?
I accidently threw away
a photo album, and...
I just can't reach it.
You want to retrive it?
Yeah, but it's too deep.
I don't know how to get to it
Katel, will get it.
No, no, don't
put her in the trash.
Yes, I will look for it.
Where is it?
It's there.
The red one there.
Ah, that's it.
Thanks.
Bravo.
Odile.
Ok?
Who is this?
Here's me
when I was little
with Loïc and Marc Le Pavec.
Loïc was the
one who drowned.
No, it was his brother
Marc who drowned.
I saw Loïc just yesterday.
Have you seen a ghost?
No, I saw Loïc Le Pavec
and I even talked to him.
He's fine.
Erwan, is your mum at home?
Yes.
- Off you go.
- Don't push me.
If the drowned don't
get a "proella" cross
they become ghosts.
- Ah, nooo...
And at night... they come
to visit the little girls.
- Hello.
- Hello
Would you like some coffee?
No. I won't bother you.
Do you know of any gynecologist
for me in Audiern, please?
Of course. One moment.
Katel, Mom called.
You have to go home.
I'm not going alone.
There's a ghost in the house.
What ghost?
What nonsense have
you told her again?
When it's not the goblins,
it's vampires or ghosts!
You really want to
to traumatize her?
Ah, I can see Loïc.
You can make sure he's not...
The little neighbors
think you're a ghost.
The locals can’t stand me
because I don’t live like them.
Oh no, they're just children Loïc.
They're only joking.
Ok, let's say that...
You see me, so I exist.
Shall we go down
to the beach?
Come on.
Don't be afraid.
Come closer.
We have to wait
for the big wave.
Now!
- I won!
- No.
No, you got soaked.
The game is not to get wet.
You lost!
You're still full of it
and a bad loser.
You see, you remember
how we used to play like that!
Look. Have you ever seen
anything more beautiful?
Would you mind if I
sleep on your sofa?
I argued with my parents.
I'm not in the mood to go home.
Loïc.
What is? Can't sleep?
Were you with me the
day my father died?
Yes.
Can you describe it to me?
We came back from the beach.
You went into the house.
And I followed you.
Bernardette was in
a complete panic.
She sent us out
very quickly.
Then...
we waited in the garden.
Until the ambulance arrived.
Yes.
We were on a the swing.
You were pushing me
It was never high enough for me.
By the time ambulance arrived,
dad was already dead.
Yes, that's right.
Then...
I went with you to the
bedroom to see the body.
You were afraid to go alone.
It was very nice of you.
You were my best friend.
I would have done
anything for you.
Good morning.
-Hello.
Thanks for the brioche.
Have you been to Godinec?
Yes.
I'm making some calls
this afternoon.
I'll come over to value
your house clearance.
- See you very soon.
- See you soon, bye.
So, we have several
appointments this afternoon.
I've also scheduled an
open-house on the site.
I made a booklet
Check for errors.
An 'open-house' obviously attracts
all the curious and bored ones.
But a view like that,
it's easy to fall in love with it.
Above all, don't say anything.
Refer any questions to me.
Can I say hello, or should
I disappear right away?
Friendly...
Always be friendly.
That's what's important!.
Good day.
Did you see the view?
Yeah, fantastic.
Let’s start with the living room.
Guttering seem to be
in good condition.
We're going to check out the kitchen.
The plan.
Come in, come in.
What a view, huh?
What are you doing here?
Are you planning
to buy the house?
No, of course.
But you didn't call me back
Ah, there you are.
What a view... exceptional!
A young couple want to
check the condition of the roof.
Could you watch their baby
while I take them up to the attic?
Ok...
you know where to go?
This house has no secrets for me.
Thanks.
Thank you.
Bravo.
Excuse us, we have to go.
- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.
Good day.
Have you seen that amazing view?
This is the owner, miss Cauret.
We can go here.
This is not a good time.
I'm going to go.
I'll see you.
You see him?
I could tell right away that he
was not a buyer, just curious.
- Excuse me.
- Yes?
Fabrice, wait for me at the harbour.
We need to talk.
I don't know why you came.
You don't have to worry.
I will solve this.
The appointment's already made.
It'll all be sorted out before
I return to Paris.
But it's you I care about you.
I didn't hear from you.
I thought you were not well.
I thought that...
What?
That I'm just interested in you having
an abortion as soon as possible?
What am I to you?
An old obsession?
An addiction?
You couldn't get
me out of your head
And you give me a little place
in the Hotel Des 5 Mondes
from 1 to 3 p.m.?
I'm protecting your
family and marriage.
I'm respecting
your life for you.
It's me who decides
whom to protect in my life.
It's not for you
to decide for me.
No one is forcing you to
deal with this on your own.
I'll call you. I'll come.
I'm here to talk with you,
to decide together what to do.
Stop playing the victim.
Like you want to keep this child,
It’s too easy to say
I'm the bad guy.
It's obvious you want
me to have an abortion.
Do you really think that?
Yes that's
really what I think.
I feel sad, tired and scared.
And feel lonely.
And I don't know what
to hold on to anymore.
There, now you know everything.
You could take me
in your arms, please?
I can't, I'm sorry.
Not here, not now
in front of everyone.
You two are so bad together.
How did you even
think of having a child?
I guess I was
an accident.
We were young.
We were a beautiful couple.
We loved each other.
I wanted to have
kids with her.
I always thought that it was
you who wanted children.
You thought I didn't love you
because you couldn't
comfort me after his death.
But, it was not your role.
So, what was my role...
What was my place?
I was a burden to you.
No. I loved you.
How did you not feel that?
You always wanted to be the
strong one, the most responsible.
As if you were trying at all costs
not to be like me.
I didn’t want to be a sad woman.
But you are sad!
Not because you've lost your love.
You're sad because
you can't love.
Will you continue like this?
I love my job.
I set up a travel agency.
Business is booming.
It has a very good reputation.
But who'll bring you your cup
of herbal tea, if you get sick?
Aren't you proud of me, Dad?
I'm dead.
It's up to you to be proud and
happy with what you're doing.
Can I drop you off
somewhere?
Like I said, the abortion pill
is taken at the doctor's office.
in two doses, 48 hours apart.
We can take the first
one on Thursday at 3 p.m.
Thursday at 3 o'clock
That's perfect.
- What are you doing?
- Voodoo ritual.
Are you going to
strangle that chicken?
No. It's his
mother's chicken.
Obviously, we
won't strangle it.
We're just having fun.
We drive away ghosts.
But Katel, there are no ghosts.
They don't exist.
They are like devils, dragons...
Father Christmas
They're fictional, not real.
But Father Christmas exists.
For Christmas, he'll
bring me a puppy.
Where's the chicken?
It's escaped.
Why did you
leave the door open?
The rite's ruined.
No, you said I could
do it with you.
How can we without a chicken?
- We can, we can.
- Are we doing a 'proella'?
- Yes, we are!
What's a 'proella'?
- An imaginary burial of a drowned man.
- So cool!
So...
First, a wax cross.
It's in the bush!
Erwan, bring the net!
And you just left her?
With a lighted candle in hand?
6 year old girl?
What do you have in you head?
Cottage cheese?
I've never seen such an
irresponsible and selfish person.
When will you be able to take
care of someone other than yourself?
Let people into your
bubble, Erwan.
You're not the only one in the world.
Grow up!
Would you like to see my blister?
Excuse me.
What's my problem?
Don't worry.
Everything will be
different with the child.
I've arranged for an abortion.
You don't want to keep the baby?
I just told you,
I'm nothing.
I can't live with anyone,
living or dead.
And besides, I won't have
a father for this child.
You'll find one later.
It's always the other
way around with you.
You were orphaned before you grew up.
You got pregnant
before you fell in love.
And look...
Before you live in it,
you empty the house.
I've emptied the house to sell it.
Not to I live in it.
That's what you think.
Look, the baby could sleep
in Bernardette's office.
Not here.
I know. But this room has to
have to life breathed into it.
Look, you will color
it Malabar pink and
your daughter will
enjoy it like a princess.
- Malabar pink?
- Yes
What are we going to do here?
This is Bernardette's room.
It has the prettiest view.
Let it be your room.
But the bed should be
placed against the window.
- Shall we do it?
- Ok!
One, two...
Over there.
You could grow
vegetables in the garden.
Yes, and there can be
a Turkish sauna in the shed.
Can you put tomatoes in
with the corgettes?
I'd love a teak pontoon
that would go down to the sea.
Imagine 500m of
pontoon to the beach.
No, seriously,
that would be cool.
Seriously, I'd love a pontoon.
- Would you prefer eggs or ham?
- Ham.
You ok?
What is it, my little girl?
Dad is here.
There's Mommy.
Is that Thelma?
Yes.
Is your hand better?
I did it on purpose so dad
wouldn't sleep with you.
I hate you doing that.
You know about me?
I don't want you around.
You leave Dad with me.
I completely understand.
I only want what's best for you.
I will always
respect your family.
Don't try to confuse me.
I know what you want.
You do?
Keep your hands
off my dad, whore.
Hello?
Hello, Miss. Cauret?
- Yes.
- Sorry to interrupt.
This Dr. Tribidik's office.
You haven't confirmed
your abortion.
Are you still planning to come?
Odile?
Some van is here.
It's the junk dealer from Audierne.
I'm coming.
Why did you call
him? He's a crook.
He should be thrown
into the harbour, jerk.
Don't deal with him.
He won't get the better of me.
And I have to get
rid of all the furniture
- Good day.
- Good day.
- Hard to find?
- No, I've been here before.
- At Le Pavec's house.
- Yes.
Did they recommend me?
I think so, yes.
Come on, Fred.
- Good day.
- Good day.
- 1,500...
- 3,000.
Haha! Let's not
get carried away!
I'm not really very
business like...
- You're not?
- Ah, no...
I can tell you...
with my temperament...
I'd be better working in
the humanitarian field.
Really?
Well, you have drifted
from that somewhat!
Well no, not at all!
I clean up people's lives.
It's a public health mission.
1,750
2,500.
For you, this weighs what?
500, 600 grams? Huh?
But no, in memories,
it weighs a ton.
I'll take it all off your hands.
In one visit, I'll do you more good
than 10 years of psychoanalysis.
It's you who should pay me!
Well, right. 2,000
- 2,200
- 2,000.
Is this the Etrave restaurant?
Are you still doing
the gourmet menu
with the lobster in the pot?
Great! So, a table
for two at 8pm
Loïc.
- Good day.
- Good day.
Excuse me, is that the
Le Pavec family farm next door?
Yes.
They 're not there anymore?
No! Le Pavecs went to
a retirement home.
A long time ago.
After the death of their son.
Nobody lives there at all?
No. The property's been
on sale for a long time.
Today, no one wants to farm.
The second son certainly won’t.
Thanks.
Eh, that old thief's
gone - bastard!
Why didn't you tell me your
parents' farm was empty?
Because I have no
right to be there.
I removed the
'For Sale' sign.
Were you afraid I
would report you?
Why didn't you tell me, Loic?
What are you saying?
That I'm a loser? Homeless?
No, it's just that
you have troubles.
I told you about mine.
It's not like I would
tell just anyone!
That so?
Your problems interest me.
Troubles that have soul,
that make you reflect.
Me, I have problems of poverty.
How to keep warm
and wash my clothes.
How can I tell myself, in all my shit,
that I'm not a shit too?
You sharing your problems
is almost a social promotion for me.
Is it impossible for
you to trust me?
You're not a bad girl, Odile,
but you're still a Parisian.
If I had told you everything,
you'd never have opened your door to me.
Isn't that right?
Yes, that may be true.
Then Marc bought his boat.
He was up to his
neck in debts.
But at least he was
his own boss.
He was to marry his girlfriend
the following summer.
He was a good son.
"The best always go first", it seems.
Ah, you know,
it's just a saying...
You see...
with all that we've been through,
each in our own way...
I'm sure we'd make
good parents.
It would be very nice to
raise your child together.
You don't think I could
be a good father?
But with a purpose
in my life,
I could put up with a boss
and get a job again, and all that
It's just having a goal
that I was missing.
Do you understand?
Yeah, maybe.
This baby's not wanted by you.
But it will help us
to find our place.
And you know what...
it doesn’t bother me at all
that it’s from another man.
That's not important.
I don't know what
you're getting at.
I'm not having a child, Loïc.
I took my first abortion pill today
and I will take my second tomorrow.
I don't know what
you were thinking.
I told you about the abortion.
How could you do that?
We talked about that...
The little girl's room,
the office... all that.
We were messing around.
No... we weren't.
How could you imagine that
we would start a family?
We hardly know each other.
You took advantage of me?
I'm a loser to you.
You, you... You spat out your
confidences to me like into a spittoon?
Like a doormat?
You can get away with anything
with a loser like me?
Eh?
Go ahead... Tell me.
You're a fine bitch!
You make yourself out as great,
but you're just
like me at heart.
There's no one in the
world who loves you.
Everyone to whom you meant
something is dead and buried.
Loïc, you can't
talk to me like that.
I think it's better you go, now.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.
What are you doing here?
How did you get in?
Listen, I know I came
across badly just now.
I must have seemed flipant
Don't judge me.
There's no need
to be afraid of me.
What is happening
to us is very important.
This is our only
hope for happiness.
Let's not waste it.
Go. Stop it.
- No.
- Come on.
Stop!
You were right.
We can't keep this baby.
We'll have our own child.
A child of love.
That's much more beautiful.
Odile. Odile.
Open for me.
Odile, please.
Be kind.
Odile, open up.
Open up!
Cathy! Cathy, help!
Help!
What is it, Odile?
Erwam, call your mum, quickly!
She went to the
movies in Quimper.
What happened?
Loïc went crazy.
Call the police.
Don't go inside.
It's dangerous.
Call the police!
Erwan.
Erwan.
Are you there?
Can you open for me?
I bumped into the lamp.
He's gone?
No, I didn't see anyone.
But the lamp, I didn't see it.
It's broken...
There was no one upstairs.
The door was locked.
And this...
You think I did it to myself?
I didn't say that.
But it can't
Loïc Le Pavec,
because drowned with his
ship three years ago.
You arrived afterwards,
did you see anyone?
No, nobody.
And it can't be Marc Le Pavec?
He's always been weird, yes?
Well, yes.
Except he left the region right
after his brother died.
And we never saw him
around here again.
What the hell have
you done again?
Do you have one for me?
Keep it down,
I'm not supposed to smoke.
My mum would
report me to the police.
It's all right, they've gone.
Thank you.
You were very brave
to come to my rescue.
When I said about Loïc, did you
think I was going crazy?
Not too sure.
I must have wanted
to get to the bottom of it.
Coming to the rescue of a
crazy woman in need.
You're even braver
than I thought.
You really don't look crazy!
Well, I think I'm,
becoming so.
I've seen a lot of weird things
things since I arrived here.
Less real than Loïc.
I knew they didn't exist,
But I could see them.
Were you having hallucinations?
Honestly, I don't know anymore.
The police will go
to Le Pavec's farm
to check for a duvet
or backpack.
At least we'll know if
someone was there or not.
He would have had time
to get away with his stuff.
So we won't know for sure.
We'll never know
if I'm nuts or not, right?
In your place
I would choose to tell myself...
that I saw a ghost.
I messed up with
him again just now.
It's getting late, can I put some
sheets on the sofa for you?
You good?
It's strange though...
This is our first night
together in 10 years...
Not to make love, but
to have an abortion.
Yes.
Very romantic!
Loïc told me I do everything
the wrong way round.
In a bad way.
He may have been right, but...
but what is the natural
order of things?
Did you and your wife
plan for your daughter?
No, not at all.
We hadn't known each
other for so long.
However, we decided to
keep the baby and get married.
Would you have stayed together
if you didn't have Thelma?
I can't answer that question.
Will it hurt?
I don't know.
It's good to have you here.
Thanks.
- Odile.
- Loïc?
Has it started?
Uh, no.
Not yet.
Look, glow worms.
You're freezing,
come back to bed.
What are you doing?
I'll keep the house.
What?
I'm selling it anymore.
I'll keep it.
You have nothing left.
You've completely emptied it.
Exactly.
I will fill it with my own stuff,
cheap Ikea furniture.
And with stuff that the junk shop
will sell me for a lot of money.
Here I will spend my
holidays here
I'll invite my cousins.
to play Nicolas billiards.
I will transform the
office into a guest room.
or a children's room.
You can bring your daughter.
And choose with me a big bed....
for the bedroom...
If you want!
What are you saying?
Choose me.
That's what I'm
saying. Choose me!
Me, the girl you have
you have no baby with.
Sorry, I must seem mad.
No, really, you don't.
You've never seemed
so much like a human.
I've been hoping for this, but
some other point in my life.
Now the situation is different.
It can change.
- I have changed.
- Very good. You've changed. Great!
But does that mean the whole
world must change with you?
Sorry, Odile. I can't answer
you like this right now.
It's much too...
I'm touched by what you're telling me.
I really am...
To hear those words
from your mouth and...
I don’t know if I can
make that decision.
I understand.
Come home quickly.
Lt's meet in Paris
as soon as possible.
Don't stay here alone
for too long.
- Hello!
- Hello, Cathy.
- Is Erwan here?
- Err, yes.
Erwan.
Who is this guy?
Saint They.
Who is this St. They?
Well...
we dress it with the baptismal robe
of a child who died this year..
Oh fuck!
This can't be right.
Do we have to do this
'proëllo' right here?
Why do you want to do a 'proëlla'
if you don’t believe in it?
Because...
Because I believe in a few
things Loïc said to me.
Is it easier to trust a ghost
than a homeless person?
Hey, hello!
So, you sold the house then?
Oh, no, I'm not
selling it anymore.
You don't recognize me?
Yes, yes, but I....
Notary Mevel.
Oh dear! Ah, but of course.
I'm sorry, I...
It's normal. No problem!
Without my tie, I don't
look at all like a notary.
Have a great day.
You too.
Something should be said, yes?
I wish you good luck,
and peace, and rest.....
and serenity,
wherever you are now...
be it with the lost
souls of Anaon...
or buying pot at
Perpignan Station
The cross fetches the
soul of the drowned
and brings it back
to the right place...
On Christian land.
Yeah, well...
