I know some steps we can do.

Come and I'll show you.

No, you'll pull my hair again.

Look, I'm sorry, okay?

I'm sorry.

Now open the door. I'm thirsty.

Please, give me a drink.

I too would like to drink

from the spring

but when evening falls

at the hour of Ramadan

I'm happy to have a friend like

Clment.

Until this evening, Luc.

Luc, my boy, are you asleep?

I'd like to tell you something

but it's not easy.

I always dreamed of having

a son like you

but Violette didn't want to

so we didn't.

But it doesn't matter.

You're here. Thank you.

Good night.

And sweet dreams.

My love...

I miss you.

I miss you.

Give me a drink.

Shall I read you a poem?

Please...

"Yesterday so thirsty, dehydrated too

but plunged into darkness

I understood the clue

no sadness or depression

I chained myself anew."

Like it?

Here comes...

Grapefruit juice, lemon juice

and a glass of water.

I don't know what you like

so I brought you all three

as I don't know what you like.

Next time you must tell me

so I won't have to bring something

you don't like.

Isn't it good!

That's better, isn't it?

I'm getting attached to you.

Great!

This is for you, dear.

I didn't know what to choose.

Of course,

if you want to exchange it, go ahead.

I mean, if you want to...

But you know I'm not a good dancer.

Remember? At your niece's wedding

I kept treading on your feet.

And that was...

Do you really want to?

Right now?

I told you I can't dance.

Why didn't you wear

the short black dress?

I wouldn't have tripped.

You always please yourself.

Just like with this boy.

Why don't you like him?

Luc?

Antoine?

Antoine?

Maxime?

I know you don't like him.

Never a word, a gesture,

a nod, a smile, nothing.

What?

Yes, he's going to be a dad.

If it's a girl,

she'll be pretty like you.

So, we'll call her...

same as you.

That's very poor taste, Violette.

I said no!

With you, it's never the right time.

If we'd had a child,

we wouldn't need friends.

But you always know better!

Honestly...

Sometimes I can't make you out.

Slut!

I'm sorry.

Forgive me.

What came over me?

You twerp, this is your fault.

She swore at me!

Stop it!

I slapped her too.

Now I don't dare talk to her

or even look at her.

What can I do?

There's always something wrong.

We used to live by the sea.

Now she says it ruins her skin.

She spies on me

when I'm cleaning or cooking,

especially cooking.

If you like, I could talk to her.

Hello, Violette.

Nice to see you again.

How are you?

Please say something, dear.

Please call me Luc.

I'm so pleased to see you together.

Violette... May I call you Violette?

Can he call you Violette?

Sorry for the trouble I've caused.

He wants to apologise.

- I hope I'm not taking too much

of your husband's time.

- He hopes he's not wasting my time.

Wait! If you repeat all I say,

we'll never get anywhere.

Don't push me too far

or I will get annoyed.

We all will!

Okay?

Leave us for a while.

In half an hour it'll all be okay.

I hope so.

We will find a way out of here

for both of us.

You want out, so do I.

So, let's get out.

You'll get out.

Sorry.

I couldn't wait any longer.

Don't make any noise.

She fell asleep. She's very tired.

Look, this may come as a shock but...

She doesn't want me here.

She wants me to go.

She thinks you spend more time

with me than with her.

Did you explain to her?

- She won't listen!

She refuses to see you

until I'm gone. I'm sorry.

She's totally mad.

No, she just wants you all to herself.

You've been so nice to me.

It's made her jealous.

Don't be stupid or you'll lose her.

Unchain me and I'll leave you.

Listen...

She's your wife!

Don't lose her because of me.

But she's the one who insisted

on inviting you to dinner.

She was so happy. I'll do what I can to

please her but I just don't understand.

Look, what if we give ourselves

24 hours, till tomorrow?

You unchain me, I'll go home.

And tomorrow...

I'll come back.

If you do that for her

she'll be yours again.

She can't do this to us.

I've to think it over.

Well? Have you decided?

Violette won't have you here

but I can't let her

throw you out either.

So, I've decided to do away with you

so Violette will be happy and

you'll be here in your room.

How's that?

Darling!

You have one minute

to give me the key.

Don't do it! - It's over!

Give me the key or I'll kill her!

You've 50 seconds...

Don't move!

Stop, I'll do what you want.

- The key or I decapitate her.

I've got it!

Hello, I'm Margot Lettelier.

I'm Luc's friend.

Luc Coblence, your neighbour.

I've been trying to find him all week.

There's nobody there.

Have you seen him, by any chance?

No, I don't know Luc. Why ask me?

I'm asking you

because I haven't seen him for 2 weeks.

He didn't answer the door

so I went downstairs

but the concierge couldn't help.

That's all I can do.

His flat was empty.

All his things gone.

Did he tell you anything?

I don't know Luc.

I have my own worries. Goodbye, Miss.

Yes, I know. What can I do?

And Violette?

Sorry, I shouldn't have talked

to you like that.

I'm tired. What is it?

You miss your friend,

I'm waiting for my wife...

Can I offer you a liqueur?

Don't sulk.

I'm looking after you.

Would you like some eggs?

- Thanks, I missed dinner.

He wouldn't leave me like that

without saying anything.

Of course not.

We planned to sail around Cape Horn.

No, you can't have kids.

Eat up, it'll do you good.

You shouldn't have left

Violette and me alone!

I should have stayed with him.

I'm only happy with him.

Don't you feel well, dear?

Hurry or I'll liquidate her!

If he didn't want a family,

why not say so?

I don't care. He's the one

who'll be all alone. All alone.

I'll bring up his child by myself.

It's your fault.

- Where is he?

And you refuse to help me.

You took your time, didn't you!

You call that a minute?

The key, quick!

Did you hear me? Do you know

what I'm going to do to her?

You don't?

Give me the key

or you'll end up alone.

He's the one who'll be all alone.

All alone.

I'll bring up his child by myself.

Because... I need to be loved.

Why did he go away?

Why?

Yes, why weren't you there

when I strangled her?

I'm sure she thought of you

and missed you.

She thought of your child too.

I never had any myself.

The more we see things,

the more we love them.

I'll leave you with her.

Never mind, she's only plastic.

Mr Clment, I was hoping I'd see you.

About the electricity meter.

They're coming next Tuesday,

so if you could be in...

That's fine. Tuesday's my cleaning day.

What a character, that one!

He won't leave me his key.

Very convenient!

Hello, my dear.

I brought you some sweets.

Mint, strawberry and lemon.

Since I don't know what you like

I got all three.

You must tell me your favourite

then we'll get that one.

Such a handsome boy.

If only your mother could see you.

"Wawa, back with his friends

in the big square

started dancing,

dancing all night long
