Drink.

What stories?

All the things you took upon yourself.

She says you are brave.

Do you think so?

Yes...

- I had to see you.

- Yeah?

Is everything okay?

Not really.

What is it?

Nothing serious.

I have to leave for a little while.

Later we'll find a small apartment.

What have you done?

I can't tell you,

it'll bring you bad luck.

I'll tell you when it's over.

I don't want you to leave.

You see that?

Look...

That's you and me.

For how long will you be gone?

I don't know.

Why don't you know?

It's not up to me to decide.

It's up to whom to decide?

Look, Suzanne,

I don't want to go either.

Then don't go.

- Hi!

- Hi!

Thanks.

Here, dad.

You woke up early.

You live the big life.

What am I to say to the boss?

Can you stop daydreaming

for a moment?

There's Charlie, there's school...

You have nothing to say?

You always cover

your sister's stupidities.

Is it that guy

you go out with?

Hold on, I haven't finished.

I haven't finished.

Where are you going?

- Tell me where.

- To bed.

Come back here,

I have not finished!

-Come here!

- Stop it!

I've had it!

I can't take it any more!

- You're coming with me!

- You're crazy!

I'm not crazy!

I won't let you.

It's that simple.

Pack your stuff

by the end of the week.

On Sunday, you come home.

Monday, you go back to work.

Sorry.

We woke you up.

I was afraid you'd be gone.

- That's really nice of you.

I am very sorry. - It's okay.

Room 38, please.

For Charlie.

Do not worry.

Yeah, the young couple.

Oh, yeah? When?

Okay.

Thank you.

- Where to?

- Orleans.

- Come in. I'll get you close to it.

- Thanks.

Can I ask your age?

I am 25.

Why are you going to Orleans

in the middle of the week?

There's a Sound System

during the weekend.

It's music.

You started early.

Three days to go to Orleans...

What's your job?

This and that.

Have you ever seen her?

No.

Your daughter?

Her name is Suzanne.

When did you last see her?

It's almost been a year.

No, I've never seen her.

Keep it, I have others.

Photocopies.

- Hi.

- Hi. Did you have a nice trip?

Train packed?

Yeah.

They say

my absences upset him.

This month...

I have seen the social worker

twice.

These psychologists

drive him crazy.

I'm sure of it.

You two spent

many nights alone.

You weren't afraid.

You knew, if there was a problem...

We were two.

And also there were

Andre and Sylvie.

It's not the same.

''Mmh! I want...

to taste this apple,

says Pierre.''

Hey, you read well!

You have made progress.

Aren't you tired?

- Can I sleep with you, dad?

- You are too old now.

Watch out, my back!

- Goodnight.

- Goodnight.

Sweet dreams.

To the left.

How many in each cell?

One?

- And how is she?

- She is nice.

I will be the one...

to represent you in court.

How many years am I facing?

Too soon to say.

It depends on the trial procedure.

Your criminal record is clear.

Have you ever been on trial?

Never.

This is positive.

I also...

...contacted your family.

They are fine.

I don't think your dad

will come right now to see you.

He is a bit angry,

if I may say so.

He needs time,

to adapt to the news.

But you can count

on your sister.

She can't wait to see you.

I asked for visiting rights.

We will soon know...

And my son, Charlie?

Charlie is fine.

He does no longer live

with your father.

He has been given

to an adoptive family.

By court order.

Your father was absent too often.

- Because of his job.

- What?

What's going on with Charlie?

For the time being, he is

with an adoptive family, because...

he couldn't stay

with your father.

He is fine,

the family is taking good care of him.

Do not worry.

You will be able to see hime again...

Excuse me.

I am sorry.

Everything will be fine,

do not worry.

Things are working out for him

with the family.

I have some photos if you want...

No, it's okay, thanks.

I thought that he might come...

...but he can't.

You know how it is.

Say something.

I don't know what to say.

This came.

By post.

If you don't want it,

You frighten me, Suzanne.

Thanks.

Take care, dad.

Thanks.

Dad...

Hi.

Good morning.

Thanks.

Do you like it here?
