suffer from loneliness.

The sky's clearing finally.

Hello.

- I'm ready in moment.

What would you like to do?

- Shouldn't we visit the Louvre?

Aren't you tired of museums yet?

- Quite the opposite.

I'm just catching up.

You never talk about yourself.

I don't feel for tiring you.

There're so many things

more interesting.

Is your life and family not interesting?

I won't say so. But I'm separated now.

It's quite difficult for me.

When I'm with you,

I don't want to think about it.

My son Nils lives with his mother.

You never see him?

Of course I do,

I go to Berlin every weekend.

Except for the weekends with me.

Right.

Like you I don't want

to look back at the past.

The years before I met you

were a great void.

Nothing but grief.

- You shouldn't talk like this.

At your age nothing is in vain.

Life's never what you expect.

Your relationship to the world

is always unpredictable.

It's up to you to transform it to

something deeper, more true.

Only then you'll become yourself.

Let us next time walk

the same route in the Louvre...

so everything gets its place.

To settle things

I use to do them twice.

Take down the lights and

put them in the storage room.

Will the railings be removed?

- No, that's in the file.

They're still doing a good job.

Camille, don't go out there!

Don't be stupid.

- Come on.

The granite is perfect.

- After almost a century.

Great. Do you remember

those floors in Dessau?

And that wonderful cast.

- Yes, beautiful.

The pillar follows the line of the pipe.

The water flows into the open drain.

The pipe ended

just two inches above it.

Very beautiful, this combination

of round and square.

I hope you keep it, will you?

- It's going to be like this...

The pipe... And the drain.

We'll restore the glass tiles,

so that you see the water running.

Then it looks like a drain.

And we'll make sure that...

the pipe doesn't touch it.

The water is controlled

but still flowing free.

I'd like to restore the opening

on the first floor, as I planned to.

It's too dark, I think.

- Not so loud!

It is an embassy,

not a bunker.

Selma?

Hello.

Camille! How are you?

And Sullivan?

Is he still in South America?

No, he's been back for a while.

Thank God.

If he wishes to take contact...

- I'll pass it on.

I want to change something

with those windows.

The vents should be somewhere else.

- They don't want that.

I don't care.

They've drilled too deep.

I'm sick of it.

We had to break down a wall

that was still good.

Come here and have a look.

You'll have to pay.

Next week you'll get

the contract through Anne.

Sorry.

Yes?

I called Friday for a defective unit.

You sent someone who fixed it.

But three hours later, it failed again.

I don't dare. Will you call me?

Sullivan.

Do you still have your flat?

- No, I don't live in Paris.

I've been in Marseille

for three years now.

But I'm here pretty often.

To visit friends and my parents.

And for the work too.

I didn't come especially for you.

- I guessed that.

So you work?

- As a photographer.

Your big dream.

- Small jobs for local newspapers.

And I've started a crafts company

together with a friend.

That's what I live on.

Do you like Marseille?

- Yes.

In Paris, I never really felt

at home. I get depressed here.

A friend owns a house by the sea.

We spend almost every weekend there.

Shall we take a walk?

I'm working for

a Norwegian architect.

In a few years I hope

to have my own agency.

You're going to be an architect?

I'm impressed!

I'd never have guessed it.

- What did you think I would be?

No idea. I've never

thought about it.

Do you live around here?

- In Bastille.

But soon I'll move in

with my boyfriend.

Have you been together for a long time?

- Quite long.

I love him as much as I loved you,

but not the same way.

That relationship

has made me stronger.

I'm really sorry I made you so sad.

You wanted to save your freedom.

It seems so long ago.

It seems like someone else,

another life.

Are you with someone?

I've been with a girl but it's finished.

I had affairs.

- Affairs...

Don't you have any?

- No, not at all.

What a petty.

It makes me sad you say that.

I didn't mean to hurt you.

I was just talking.

I gotta go.

- Already?

I have an appointment at seven o'clock.

Then you'd better go now.

I want to replace the concrete box

with four galvanized metal elements.

It should be smaller bins,

of more human dimensions.

Can you come? It's urgent.

Plus strips of earth

sown with fine grass.

I'm bleeding.

Bleeding? For how long?

An hour. I've called the doctor.

Indeed, a miscarriage.

We'll have to do some more tests.

My little baby, I already loved him.

I know.

Will you make me another one?

- Of course.

Why?

I was ready.

You've got all the time.

You're still so young.

No need to hurry.

Yes.

I'm so happy I found you.

It's a miracle.

No, I'm the lucky one.

You are the light in my life.

Hey. I was with friends

and didn't watch the time.

I'm meeting a lot of people this week.

- I was almost gone.

Thank you for waiting.

What are you doing in Paris?

- A painting job.

I'm very busy at the moment.

We won a competition.

It's my first time as project manager.

Earlier than I thought.

Fantastic. Bravo.

Let's move over there.

But it's challenging.

I'm not sure I can handle it.

- Of course you can.

Here it is.

Chic.

I almost forgot...

I took them this summer.

But please don't look at them now.

As you like.

Go to your architect now.

What a bad film.

- You think so? My goodness.

Did you like it?

- Very much.

What did you find so good?

The characters, dialogues,

the story, simply everything.

I don't understand you.

It's so French.

Annoying actors,

too much talking, self-indulgent.

Terrible.

- You just don't understand it.

You're not sensitive enough

for such a film.

It's useless to talk about it.

I see you still have a

monopoly on sensitivity.

And we still never agree.

We can only agree about

having totally different tastes.

On key issues we do agree.

- I don't think so.

But it's not important,

I love you anyway.

I'll always do, I don't know why.

- Camille, stop it.

It's true.

What do you think?

Are you letting me down?

- I'd also rather stay here.

It's you own fault if you go.

You could just stay.

Take good care. It's dangerous there.

- In Sanaa in the north, not in Aden.

I'll call you when I get there.

Is anything wrong?

Not happy to see me?

I was thinking of you all week.

Go somewhere for a drink?

- I only want to be together with you.

You and I together.

But it's not possible.

Well, it is.

We even have the whole night.

You're crazy...

Isn't it what you wanted?

Yes, but then? Tomorrow?

What then?

I've missed you so much.

How could we live so long

without each other?

You broke up.

Did you forget?

No.

I never stopped loving you.

Not a minute, not a second.

You're inside me, like a disease.
