And what about you?

Do you live alone?

I'm separated.

It's been 6 months now.

I admire couples who are able

to stay the distance.

Are you married?

Been there, done that!

Shall we sit down?

He left when our child was two.

What's your partner's name?

Michel.

You get on well?

Yes.

Well... it's not always easy.

He's 13 years younger than me.

And that makes it complicated.

Sometimes I wonder

if he's seeing somebody else.

You know what I did?

One evening

I went through his mobile.

I didn't find anything.

That's what was really weird.

There was nothing at all.

I imagined him

deleting every single text.

Every call.

I have the feeling

he doesn't want me any more.

He must have someone else.

You can try all kinds of things,

but a day comes when...

the desire has gone.

I'm losing him.

You OK?

Yes.

I don't think I can go any further.

Would you mind if we went back?

Ah, I'm so pleased you've come.

I didn't think you would.

A glass of champagne?

- Are you OK?

- I know it's you.

What do you mean, it's me?

Ah there he is! I hadn't ordered

enough champagne!

So...

Michel, Hlne.

Hlne, Michel.

Hello!

How are you?

What...

Do you two know each other?

Should I put these over there?

I hope you're proud of yourself.

All those questions,

it was just sick curiosity

about the stupid b*tch!

You're not wearing my earrings.

I hardly ever do.

My son didn't like me

wearing jewellery.

- What, your son? I thought...

- He's dead.

He was run over 7 months ago.

I know it was you.

What are you talking about?

You're completely crazy!

You're talking nonsense.

You know what?

Leave here right now.

Get out!

The boy you ran over in Lausanne.

That was my son.

What?

A bus driver saw you.

Look.

Look familiar?

You're mistaken.

I've never run anyone over.

We've got nothing to do with this.

You think we wouldn't have stopped?

When was it?

I haven't been to Lausanne

for two years.

25th March.

A Wednesday. He was coming

out of the Conservatory.

25th March?

25th...

Look here,

I was in Paris on the 25th.

A training course at L'Oral.

You can ring them

if you don't believe me.

Go on, ring them.

The woman, she was blonde.

It was your car.

I'm telling you it wasn't me.

I was in Paris.

And what about him?

Michel. Wasn't he there?

You're talking nonsense.

And anyway... When you find

the people who did it,

what difference will it make?

What was your son's name?

Luc.

I'm sorry about what happened.

But we've got nothing to do with it.

So please get out of my life.

- You think only of yourself!

- Stop acting like a kid!

I need to know.

You were with your stepfather

on 25th March.

In Lausanne.

Your mother wasn't there.

You were.

It was you, wasn't it?

It was you...

You know who I am?

- You know who I am? It was you!

- I didn't see him.

I didn't see him!

There was the bus. I wasn't

speeding, the light went red.

I didn't see him, I swear.

There was a noise against the car.

I can't stop thinking about it.

At first, your son got up.

I didn't want to just drive off

like that.

But Michel told me not to stop,

to just keep driving.

So I did.

Your son's destroyed my life.

I didn't mean to.

It's Michel.

He'll be here in a minute.

I was scared. I called him.

Get out of the car!

Even if it's just a dog, you stop.

Leave, now.

Get out!

I don't know what to say.

I had no idea.

Is lodie at home?

She's making a statement.

She wants to forget.

You know,

I'd have done like you.

I was on the phone to him

when it happened.

My name is Diane.

Hello.

You know who I am?

Yes.

- Got a minute?

- Yes.

I didn't know about you.

Luc was secretive.

We played in the orchestra together.

It's Bach you're rehearsing?

The Concerto in F Minor.

We're performing in two weeks

at the Stravinski Auditorium.

Luc filmed you at your audition.

That's how I saw you.

We were together a lot.

Sometimes, I'd get home late.

My father would yell at me.

It's just that we were

hanging out together

and then I'd miss the bus.

I've got something to show you.

It's the Rieding Concerto.

What are you going to play?

- The Rieding Concerto.

- In B minor?
