how are you today ?

Ah ... it's time for my recording.

Watch this amazing machine.

Ah, I told you that they offered me

Carmen in Bucharest?

Do you think it's a good idea?

They expect my answer too.

Well, make them wait the time

that it will take Marguerite.

I am going to go.

It records everything.

That must be exhausting to

be able to forget nothing.

I thought that we could sing today.

What are you thinking about, Marguerite?

Singing?

With pleasure.

So they wanted to record

her voice in the hospital.

They gave me this record, where she

sings like she always sang.

Doctors believe that

in hearing her real voice,

she will experience a shock ...

at least...

they think it will provoke

a reaction that will help her to

retake possession of herself.

That she will wake up.

She will think maybe it's

the voice of someone else.

I hope she has a strong heart,

our Marguerite.

Maybe it will just make her laugh.

And if it goes wrong?

If she can't stand

to hear her own voice?

I do not know.

What do the tarot cards say?

Jack of Hearts and 7 of Spades.

There are only two directions with life.

Where you dream,

or you accomplish them.

This portrait is beautiful.

When was it?

My first photo of Madame.

She was young.

Now I miss the last.

The last ?

The sacrifice of the heroine.

Madelbos!

Madelbos ...

Yes, Monsieur.

Tell ... tell the doctor Arnaud

I've changed my mind.

Tell him, to cancel what is planned.

I do not want her

to listen to her voice.

Hello.

No, I do not know where the doctor is.

He may be trying to install

the equipment ... but,

I'll tell him to stop everything.

Do not worry.

See you soon, Monsieur.

... A recording of my voice?

And I sing what exactly?

I'll explain everything, Marguerite

We will be in a canteen, at least ...

a party room,

with a small stage.

Ah ... that's superb.

Has my husband arrived?

Not yet, Madame.

That misfortunate automobile.

It'll be on the first floor.

In the canteen.

And her husband ?

In a long shirt,

it's like that huh?

Without fuss.

Hello...

No ! No !

No !

What is the date of this record?

We made it last week

in my office, Marguerite.

Ah yes ... when you

made me sing, right?

It was here in this room.

You can fit in everybody, huh?

And what's so special

about this recording in the end?

But ... you'll see.

News from my husband, Madelbos?

Not yet, Madame.

Ah ... It is beautiful, that one.

Oh thank you.

Ah ... it's nice you came.

Hello Marguerite.

Hello.

We are going to hear a

recording of my voice.

Madame has never been so beautiful.

Let's go.

Marguerite...

Marguerite !

Marguerite.

Marguerite !

Marguerite !

Marguerite.
