A few days ago.

She's already buried.

I didn't even know!

It's nice you thought of me.

Nobody else knew her.

Besides...

I'm scared to go alone.

Not a very happy cemetery.

Know where she is?

It's written down. It's quite far.

What was it?

Cancer.

- She'd never said a word.

I love you more and more.

Not now!

When? We never meet!

You handled me wrong.

How's that?

I was fine as your reflection.

Now I exist and you don't know me.

You only knew me through you.

You didn't help me, you judged me.

You should've let me leave.

I'd have come back.

I'm not very clever.

I couldn't foresee things.

If I leave you alone?

If I play dead?

You'll come back?

I don't know.

I'll have to wait long?

It's dumb to be in love after ten years.

Your pals must be laughing!

No, but it's a bit dumb.

Know how our life would be if you come back?

Hell.

You'd rediscuss everything!

You've got me wrong!

Be nice and I'll forget everything.

It's easy to accuse me...

of what you made me do.

I believe in transcendence...

things beyond our reach...

beyond our merit.

If we do reach them...

everything is transformed.

The weakest man becomes a god.

After all the suffering...

and this hate that's like...

depraved love, our life will...

be marvelous! We'll turn...

our feelings inside out like a glove.

After surpassing all a couple's horrors...

and miseries, everything is beautiful.

What you say is impossible.

Why? I've never...

- believed in common sense.

We must, Esther!

This must be it.

Yes, it is.

Did she suffer?

I don't know.

Please come back to me.

I can't.

Why?

You love another guy?

No... I can't.

I've been too unhappy...

too lonely.

There must be some compensation...

to balance out what I've been through.

I've been too unhappy.

What do you want?

- Come back.

- I can't!

No one will love you now!

What's on the wall?

Heads.

Heads?

All the spots resemble heads.

Like seeing things in clouds...

Father, mother...

your wife...

A visitor!

Finally!

How long you been here?

I don't know.

Got the world mad at you?

I guess not!

Hello, sweetie.

You look like a llama.

I brought a pineapple, figs...

some "shocolate" and my drawings.

Fine.

Show them to me.

Very pretty! You've improved.

I have more at school.

Give me the little horse.

We can't.

We'll leave it at the desk.

You live here?

All the time.

Working hard at school?

Not very.

But later it's important to know...

reading and figures.

George always annoys me.

Who's George?

You don't know him?

He's a little boy who annoys me.

Who drove you here?

Michel.

Where is he?

Downstairs.

He wouldn't come up.

What's this fence for?

To keep me from kissing my Llama.

I'm scratchy.

Where's Mama?

On a trip.

She'll be gone long?

No, you'll see her soon.

Give her a great big kiss.

Promise not to forget!

I saw a gorilla.

You always forget.

And tell her...

What?

Nothing.

Maybe one day we'll all three be together.

It'd be so wonderful.

Like to?

Are you going to stay here?

For now, yes.

A long time?

I don't know. Maybe 2 years.

Maybe longer.

Is that a lot?

For you, it's very long.

You'll have to count to...

Stop.

You'll be a big girl at the end.

Let's go!
