Oh excuse. Am I interrupting

- No, not at all.

Come on in.

All in the dishwasher. I'll help you

- No, I've been doing it.

Are you hungry? I'm doing me something to eat

Would you like something?

I'll make you no trouble. Thank you.

These are not circumstances.

Whether I'm cooking for one or two

that makes no difference.

We eat in twenty minutes...

- Okay. Thank you.

Your daughter is a very wonderful person

You must be very proud of them..

Am I

- And she is still very talented..

It is pretty clever, yes.

And now you even work together

I think it's great that you can help

in terms of their career

- quite as simple as that unfortunately not...

Sarah is a very ambitious young woman.

I wrote the screenplay for the film.

And there was a casting for the main roles...

And Sarah thought

to be my daughter would be a problem.

Why? - She thought

and probably she had so right...

If everyone knew,

that I am her father, and she would get the role

that then everyone else would think

she would get the role because of me

. Because of my relationships. - J.

I understand

That's a problem..

And? What has she done?

She used a false name

donning a wig on and went so

to audition.

Really?

You pretended to be someone else?

I like that.

And further

- you got the role?.

You know damn well

what she wants and what she does not want..

A very wonderful story.

And Sarah's mother

Are you divorced?

This is a bit complicated

- sorry.

You do not need to apologize...

She has disappeared. 15 years ago we understood each

not particularly ..

And one day she left the house

and never came back.

Where is she now?

I do not know.

We do not know.

Well, what the heck...

I'm sorry. I did not want you

No problem. Everything okay.

The food was delicious.

Can I?

Course. It's your house.

Can I get one too?

Clear . Sorry.

I thought you did not smoke.

I also do not smoke.

I really do not.

Oh. Sorry.

I have to answer it

Yes, hello?

Oh. No, it's not too late

I've just eaten.

It runs better.

Very good even

I'll call you back, okay?

Okay, then. Bye.

I'm traveling tomorrow

and see me at a location.

Do you want to come along?

Yes. I would like that.

Hi, people! - Hi, honey. - Hey.

Gehts you well? I'll get me a drink.

I go to sleep...

How did it go today?

Not so good.

I'm sh*t and all probably think I

got the role because of you.

I am sure that this is not so is

- Does not matter anyway.

What she was wearing?

What do you mean?

Mamas things

but are all in the room, right?

This was her woolen jacket.

Really? Would be possible

Is that important?

Can I tell you something?

I want to tell you some

about my sister and me

But of course. I'm all ears.

Our birthplace is a small town

named Bar-Le-Duc, near Nancy.

When we were eight, our parents were

killed in a car accident.

It was not so bad

We lived quite close to each other

And it was a fairly small town.

How is this so times now, everyone knows each other up.

My foster parents were

very nice and pleasant people.

They gave me a lot of love and security.

My sister however...

Something terrible has happened...

She said she had been abused by her father

.

It was a scandal

The police investigated the case..

In such a small town as that ..

My stepfather killed himself.

But he has really abused?

My foster parents had pity on her and

opted to

to let them live with us.

I was so happy to be back with

my sister together.

For a while we had a wonderful time

We were like a real family and

Angelique and I are every day

went to school together.

But then...

... the whole drama has repeated.

They accused my stepfather experiment

of it...

you know.

But I knew it was a lie.

In truth

it was the other way around.

She had tried to seduce him

This was a terrible situation, because I...

When the police

her interrogation with me led

I had to make a decision. To cover My sister and Igen

or to say the truth and

to save an innocent man.

How did you decide?

I have told the police the truth

and asked her not to reveal it Angelique.

But of course...

she eventually figured it out.

It was

put in a special facility.

For difficult children.

And I pretended it did not exist.

I acted as if nothing had happen next.

What is it? Does the camera still?

I want you to get up then

And the very dramatic!

You like

And you keep your wine glass

as if it were a weapon

- You're drunk, honey.!

Take care that the glasses do not clink!

Lot. ! go

- That was quite a lot of wine.

66, Take Two!

That was really good, or '.1 - Yes

- You have to feel it, you know.? - Clear.

There you have to blow up the chest

- Clear..

I tell her sometimes,

that they will watch you.

I will bring them to dass

- Make the table clear again.!

That they somehow feel in here.

This is quite difficult

- What Asspen.. - Of course.

Please everyone back to their seats! !

Hey, Darling

- Yes. what is it? - Excuse me.

I have nothing against the fact that she is watching.

But it is precisely in view. - Who?

! Put Sarah

Could you please over there?

You irritierst Juliette

- What am I?

Can you just sit down back here

I want to see you too?. ?

Do you have a good view from there

- Yes. - She sits back there now. Better?

Yes. - Really? - Yes.

She's drunk and she

made a fool of yourself dammit!

OK? She has humiliated you.

Before all these people

And every single one of them is looking at you! !

Camera from

- door, please! - 66 Take four!

I want a divorce!

This is what we had already done it all times.

This is neither the time nor the place

,

to talk about a divorce.

Take your time. Time leave, Juliette...

Be a man, Simon!

Be once a f***ing man!

Feel the wine, as he

you running down the face.

You try, you preserve the

last bit of self-respect

is you have left.

This is the worst,

what ever happened to you.

We need it soon did.

Power I do not mind

I like to ride through the night.

It is

as if you were in a movie.

They liked to play a role.

She loved to do so,

as if it were someone else.

She was brilliant in it,

yourself as someone else to spend.

And sometimes they pretended to be me.

And they are all fell for it.

And I

then got the trouble for something they had done.

And you? Did you even do that?

I felt the

always very difficult to Igen.

What do you mean?

That's the point in acting but

Or not? To Igen.

Yes, already possible

In a way, yes.

How did you find they actually

My sister?.

You sure

an impression of her won, right?

You have yet spoken to her.

The policeman told me that.

I said 'hello' to her.

You never felt attracted to men

at her age,

Little boys. So they called them.

You felt more attracted to

considerably older men.

Men with power.

I can well imagine

as they chatted with you.

And I can well imagine

that they found you very attractive.

And they gladly wanted to seduce.

I could as often as you watch it.
