00:01.225 --> 00:04.500
A fiction film

00:04.647 --> 00:07.859
An invented story

00:07.960 --> 00:13.905
What for?

00:15.150 --> 00:20.666
by Benoît Labourdette

00:21.587 --> 00:26.876
with Marion Geerebaert

00:30.553 --> 00:33.117
Do you remember ?

00:34.375 --> 00:40.113
In your living room,
back to the large window.

00:43.250 --> 00:46.484
There was a red armchair.

00:47.086 --> 00:49.589
You loved to sit you there.

00:50.089 --> 00:54.904
You feel like your back in the city.

00:55.810 --> 01:03.194
You loved me show you
with this scenery around you.

01:05.234 --> 01:09.320
You loved the red.

01:11.093 --> 01:15.751
One day, one night...

01:16.399 --> 01:20.465
You had put naked

01:20.973 --> 01:24.632
on the red chair.

01:25.082 --> 01:28.793
Back to the city.

01:31.012 --> 01:35.997
But taken in the city.

01:37.286 --> 01:45.234
I also remember a large
laughter, another evening.

01:48.344 --> 01:51.336
You loved the night.

01:52.305 --> 02:00.706
You said at night the world
is more alive than in daylight.

02:03.925 --> 02:07.116
I've never seen things like that, me.

02:08.632 --> 02:13.485
We were so different.

02:16.649 --> 02:21.185
You remember this shouting match?

02:23.341 --> 02:29.559
It's so hard, it lives in us after.

02:31.036 --> 02:38.301
And then, years later,
we remember.

02:40.088 --> 02:45.716
We realize that it was
a necessary step

02:46.966 --> 02:53.477
in the course of love.

02:58.662 --> 03:03.003
You loved cinema.

03:04.487 --> 03:12.881
I remember : I think you had
a poster

03:13.498 --> 03:17.318
of the film "Black Series".

03:18.826 --> 03:25.054
Yes. Yes. Yes.
And pictures.

03:26.507 --> 03:31.906
Photos of films, as
seen in cinemas.

03:34.531 --> 03:37.241
You had to take them...

03:44.038 --> 03:50.874
Ah! And then, and then!
It made me laugh so much!

03:51.812 --> 03:56.193
Above the door of your bedroom,

03:57.240 --> 04:01.326
there was this small sign:

04:02.412 --> 04:07.318
"Forbidden to under 16"!

04:08.107 --> 04:12.805
And this photo,
you had exposed,

04:13.219 --> 04:18.119
on which you were naked, blurred,

04:18.728 --> 04:22.481
in the middle of film reels.

04:30.433 --> 04:33.004
I am scared...

04:34.618 --> 04:38.096
I'm afraid to see you.

04:38.526 --> 04:43.439
Suddenly, your face comes back to me.

04:45.064 --> 04:49.357
I do not want to remember.

04:50.857 --> 04:53.642
You are no longer a shadow.

04:55.384 --> 04:59.685
I want the memory of you,

05:01.068 --> 05:05.403
joyful, in life.

05:07.919 --> 05:14.395
I do not want to see your dead face.

05:17.051 --> 05:21.637
In the shadows, in the dark.

05:23.102 --> 05:29.993
When I realized it was you
which was gone

05:30.954 --> 05:33.810
and that I had stayed,

05:35.740 --> 05:43.133
I would have preferred that we remain
two shadows, and left together.

05:45.719 --> 05:50.835
I was too close to you.

05:53.154 --> 05:59.531
I can not endure it.

06:01.227 --> 06:04.731
I do not want to see you anymore.

06:06.309 --> 06:10.300
Please, let me.

06:11.659 --> 06:14.877
Stop laughing!

06:15.275 --> 06:19.156
Stop laughing!

06:19.820 --> 06:24.078
It's not beautiful, a dead that laughs.

06:26.266 --> 06:34.201
The dead should be serene, sad,

06:35.334 --> 06:41.532
calm, neutral...
they must not laugh!

06:43.446 --> 06:48.147
Leave me ! Leave me !

06:50.397 --> 06:54.410
I'm too close to you.

06:55.871 --> 07:00.734
I am afraid, I dont want!

07:01.445 --> 07:06.114
Let me live, you're too close!

07:10.458 --> 07:15.008
Why are you doing this to me?

07:17.696 --> 07:20.424
You are dead.

07:20.682 --> 07:23.808
You are dead!

07:24.425 --> 07:30.115
Back there, in my arms.

07:34.224 --> 07:36.680
I don't want to forget you.

07:37.883 --> 07:44.406
But this is not the face of which there
I want to remember.

07:47.648 --> 07:52.916
You died with that smile.

07:59.963 --> 08:03.516
Give me your hand.

08:05.196 --> 08:08.442
Give me your hand.

08:11.583 --> 08:17.522
I felt your hand in my hand,

08:18.467 --> 08:22.243
cool down slowly.

08:24.407 --> 08:30.331
Life was already gone from you.

08:32.651 --> 08:37.918
I could not move,
during those hours.

08:40.168 --> 08:43.074
So close to you.

08:46.488 --> 08:49.444
You had no more breath.

08:51.530 --> 08:53.125
You...

08:55.109 --> 08:57.794
You had no more breath.

08:58.685 --> 09:03.645
My face glued to your face.

09:05.036 --> 09:08.842
But your hand in my hand.

09:11.092 --> 09:18.573
The cold that settled it,
slowly

09:21.534 --> 09:26.877
Give me your hand.

09:29.283 --> 09:37.088
I will keep your hand inside me.

09:38.447 --> 09:45.978
All the time, in my hand.
