"Are you hurt?" "Who hurt you?" "Don't worry, I'll take care of you." "Concerto for Guillaume" "Subtitles by Oliver Sanderson" "Don't be afraid." "Don't worry, I'll bring you some food." "See you tomorrow." "Come on, fresh sardines!" "Caught fresh last night." "Come and buy sardines!" "Good day." "Hello." "I'm looking for the Jean Moulin school, is it around here?" "You need to turn round, and go back the other way." "You go into the old town, and it's behind the church." "Okay." "Thank you, goodbye." "Oh, your sole are small, eh?" "No they don't say anything to me." "What do you want them to say?" "A Latin Mass?" "No, Guillaume!" "Start from the beginning." "Dad, I can't do anymore." "Go on, don't stop!" "Dad, I'm tired, I can't do any more." "You'll stop when I tell you." "So, let's start again from the half note at the reprise of the theme." "Come on, come on!" "Go ahead, Guillaume!" "One, two..." "Gosh!" "Are you coming to play, Mom?" "Not just now, Florent." "Why did you stop?" "I told you to go on!" "Dad, I'm tired." "My fingers hurt," "I have cramps, it's not my fault." "It's not my fault." "What do you mean it's not your fault?" "You know very well that it's all your fault!" "No!" "Don't!" "Here we go again." "It can't be real." "I can't stand this any longer." "We have to do something about it." "Easy for you to say." "Dad, please, tell him to stop." "Please." "Municipal schools" "Hello, sir!" "Hello." "Are you the substitute?" "I am." "Just like in football." "That's right." "Are you worse than the other?" "Not at all." "Football substitutes are very good too." "Go and sit down." "Is everyone in their seats?" "Good, let's begin." "Is everyone sitting down?" "Yes, sir." "I told everyone to sit down." "Why is this guy standing?" "Has he been put in a corner?" "Who is it?" "Sosthène." "What?" "Sosthène." "Ah, Sosthène." "Nice to meet you." "I'm Victor Novak." "It took 3 days to make, as it came in a kilt." "A kilt?" "It must be a scottish skeleton, then." "Do you mean that it came in a kit." "But, even the teacher didn't get it put together right away, because he mixed up the numerus and cumulus." "You mean he confused the order of the arm bones, the radius, cubitus and humerus, but it's not serious." "What's your name?" "Marion." "And you, what's your name?" "Fabien." "And you?" "Me, Lucie." "How about you at the back there?" "Abdel, sir." "Here, in the front row is a good place for you." "No, It's Serrelec's place." "Doesn't he have a first name?" "Guillaume." "He's always seeking attention." "Besides, he bullies others." "Right, he's a bully." "He always intimidates us," "I'm not afraid of him." "I could beat him at any time." "You wouldn't say that in front of him." "You can watch." "You wouldn't dare." "You want to bet?" "I'm not afraid of you." "Hey, you two." "Take it easy." "You don't seem to like Serrelec." "That can't be much fun for him every day." "Okay, now what shall we do?" "It's up to you to decide, sir." "How so?" "You're in charge." "Today, it's the opposite." "You tell me what you're interested in, and we'll talk about it together." "Okay?" "Tell me." "What are you interested in?" "You?" "Drawing." "Drawing, and you?" "Singing." "Singing." "Yes." "Who wants to sing?" "Me." "What songs do you know?" ""The days of summer camp?"" ""The days of summer camp" it is." "Here we go." "One... two..." "The days of summer camp, lah ti, lah soh." "The days of summer camp, lah ti, lah soh, fa, mi." "You jump on the beds, lah ti, lah, soh." "You jump on the beds, lah ti, lah, soh, fa, mi." "Now let's start work." "Take out your pencil case and exercise book." "And let's do a little dictation." "On the first day, we should get to know each other." "There we are." "So, that wasn't too terrible an experience was it, Mrs. Guilheneuf?" "No." "It's a pleasure to be with you." "By the way," "I'd like to thank you on behalf of the Parents Association." "What for?" "Don't be modest." "I know you spoke to the Mayor on behalf of the library." "Oh, yes?" "For the library." "He has given his consent, thanks to you." "It was the least I could do." "Here." "Take this medicine." "If your gums hurt." "Thank you." "Still..." "Three weeks to renovate a bathroom, can you imagine?" "It's always like that, now." "What is it, Guillaume?" "Don't be afraid, I'm not going hurt you." "Do you want to go out?" "Go ahead." "Did you eat your ham?" "Aren't you hungry?" "Do you want something else?" "Yogurt or biscuits?" "You know Guillaume," "I have to do this with you." "Do you understand?" "I don't have a choice." "Do you see?" "What's up?" "What's wrong with him?" "Nothing at all." "Everything is fine." "He can go back to school tomorrow." "When is this going to end, Loïc?" "Listen Eliane," "I'll take care of my son, and you take care of yours, okay!" "By the way it's 4:20, you should pick him up from school." "Can we bring what we want?" "As long as it's related to the sea." "A crab for instance." "If you like, Abdel." "Or even a whale, sir?" ""The blue-eyed whale, an animal that we rarely see."" "Do you know it?" "Yes sir!" "Hunting for whales, Hunting for whales." "Said the father in an angry voice, to his son Prosper, lying under the cabinet." "Hunting for whales, Hunting for whales." "And why would I go hunting an animal, that's done nothing to me, papa?" "I'd prefer to stay at home with my mother and my cousin Gaston." "Headmistress." "I see M. Novak, that your students have already accepted you." "We're going to explore the sea." "It was our own idea." "Children love to take the initiative." "Speaking of initiatives..." "Okay children, pay attention." "Ask your parents to bring books." "We have a brand new library, but no books." "Okay, Headmistress." "Come on, let's go." "A new face." "That's nice." "I'm Christiane, I teach third class." "I'm Victor, substitute for Berland." "We must celebrate." "So do you eat macrobiotic or organic?" "Oh, I'm flexible." "Good, I'll see you at my place, I live in the official residence up there." "So do I. Be careful, Abdel." "What time?" "How about half past eight." "Between 8 and 8:30." "All right." "Bye then." "See you later." "Sir!" "Yes?" "Who's calling me?" "What is it?" "It's for Guillaume." "I came to pick up his homework, because he wasn't at school today." "And why didn't he come?" "Well, he couldn't come..." "because he had a headache." "It's not his fault." "No, of course not." "When will he be back?" "I don't know, maybe tomorrow." "Usually the headache goes away soon." "No need to take his homework, if he's coming tomorrow." "Goodbye." "Goodbye." "Nearly ready." "A few drops of Tabasco." "Good idea, it gives it a kick." "exactly, for that spicey flavour." "Thank you." "Looks good, what's in it?" "Let's see... shrimp meal, wheat germ, dried seaweed, alfalfa extract and buckwheat." "Have a seat." "Go on, help yourself." "Listen to this:" "Okay, this preparation will actively protect you against anorexia, loss of sleep, nervous disorders, anemia, liver diseases, rheumatism..." "What if you aren't sick?" "It doesn't matter, this is prevention." "Oh, right." "Why did you decide to be a substitute teacher?" "Because it allows me to meet unexpected people." "Me for examplee." "For example." "I like you, Victor." "I don't mean in the physical sense." "While on the other hand..." "I prefer to deal with with you than Berland." "Is he seriously ill?" "You're joking." "He's in great shape." "His only problem is coming up with a good reason to slip from work each year." "Why?" "Sailing competition." "How so?" "He's sailing crazy." "Everyone's aware of his plotting, but no one says anything." "The community watch each others back." "Personally, this mentality makes me sick." "Don't you like the food." "Well..." "Oh shit, shit..." "I've got more than that." "Lactic acid preparations imported from Holland." "Oh no, on second thoughts, this isn't at all bad." "I'd love a beer." "It's non-alcoholic." "Okay." "That's good, eh?" "Do you have a runny nose?" "Is this for the project?" "It's great." "You must be Guillaume." "Do you play the violin?" "Let me see." "I won't take it from you." "It's my mother's violin." "I don't lend it... to anyone." "Is your head in better shape now?" "My head?" "What's wrong with my head?" "Yesterday, you were off school because of your headache, weren't you?" "Oh yes, I'm fine, it's better now." "Today we're studying the marine environment." "Does that interest you?" "I asked all the class to bring something related to the sea." "Do you have anything at home?" "I have a seashell collection." "That's great." "Yes, it is, but I'd never bring it to school." "That's too bad." "Sir, my father caught it." "It's for you." "Thank you, Gael." "Aren't you going to shake it's hand?" "Do you want to hold it's hand?" "Get inside, now." "It's nice, eh?" "Has everyone brought something related to the sea?" "Yes." "Okay, show me what you brought." "There's some great boats at the far end." "Marker buoys, a sextant, a good idea, those flippers." "That's great, now put them down." "Finally, let's deal with the lobster." "You'll recall what I've already told you." "The lobster is therefore a..." "Crustacean!" "Good!" "It belongs to the family of..." "Decapods!" "It was Gael's father who caught it." "Thank him for me." "And tonight, I'm going to eat it with..." "Mayonnaise!" "And how many 'n' in mayonnaise?" "Two." "Good, that's great." "Right, get out your notebooks, now." "Please write about ten lines on the lobster." "Tell me about it's antenna, claws and legs." "Also draw a picture." "What is it, Marion?" "Can't you see?" "I can't see anything when Guillaume gyrates all the time." "In addition, he sits on his coat." "Shut up, you ugly cow!" "Hey, it's not funny at all." "I don't like the way you talk." "The coat racks are in the corridor." "It's not my fault, if I need a cushion." "Stop fooling around." "I'm not kidding, my ass is sore." "I won't tell you again, Guillaume." "That's enough, now." "It's Kevin fault," "Earlier, he kicked me in the ass." "and it hurts me to sit, now." "It's not true, sir." "I didn't even touch him." "He's always lying." "It's him who's the liar." "What do you want, Guillaume?" "Look at me." "Do you want to be punished?" "Do you want to go to the headmistress?" "You'll be disappointed, it's not my way." "Stand up, if you don't want to sit still." "Here, come on." "Go to the board." "There, you won't disturb anyone." "Eh...?" "Right..." "Okay, let's get back to the lobster." "Do you want a mint one?" "Do you prefer a raspberry one?" "You're a loser, Kevin." "That's stupid, Guillaume." "Besides, the chalk is poisonous." "That's true, isn't it?" "Of course it's poisonous." "Hey, kids, get out of it." "You stupid shit!" "Mom's gonna get mad, look at my shirt." "I couldn't care less about your mother." "What did you say?" "Your mom is just a slob!" "Good, Kevin!" "Stop it!" "Stop it, both of you!" "Sir, look what Guillaume did to me." "Why did you do that?" "Stop eating the chalk!" "What are you doing?" "Take it easy!" "Go play with others." "Spit it out." "That's a difficult case." "And will certainly remain so." "Strange," "It hasn't eaten these flies." "Do seagulls eat flies?" "I don't know." "Ask the new teacher at school tomorrow." "That's a good idea." "Besides, he asked me to bring sea related things." "A seagull is sea related too, isn't it?" "Look Guillaume, what I brought you." "Be careful, it's going to fly." "It's good medicine." "Go on take your pants down" "Show me." "Lift up your shirt." "Damn, he hit you hard." "I don't care." "He tires himself for nothing, I don't feel anything anymore." "What a beautiful colour, just like a rainbow." "Hey, don't you have a violin lesson today?" "Yes I do!" "and I'm long overdue." "Father Hargrove will start shouting again, I'll be in trouble." "It's eight o'clock, I'm late!" "I have to go." "Bye, Irene!" "Goodbye." "See you tonight!" "Stop!" "You're late Guillaume..." "once again," "Yes, sir." "Have you been practising hard?" "No sir." "I haven't been able to." "Why haven't you been able to?" "My fingers got caught in my bike." "in your bike?" "How unfortunate, Guillaume." "You are as talented as your mother at your age, but your mother practiced for hours every day." "Talent without work... is like a castle which sinks into the sand, lost forever." "Well..." "I'm very disappointed." "Your father will also be disappointed." "Right, Let's start from the beginning." "Everyone ready?" "One, two, three." "Did you hear what he said to me?" "It's pretty normal." "The frustration is reflected in defiant behavior." "If you look at it like that, yes." "You know as well as me, that the teacher's relationship with pupils is carefully codified." "reinforced by a set of behaviour." "Your way of teaching makes you a troublemaker." "You see?" "You're messing with a familiar and safe system." "Who, me?" "You arrive just like that, you change things how you like, and you expect us to understand, are you naive or what?" "Are you listening?" "Yes, I hear you." "Eat!" "Eat, I'm not going to eat all this by myself." "Okay, but listen, I could get a shellfish skin rash." "I'd be happier with vegetable broth." "I don't have any." "I always have some with me." "Is this your wife?" "It was my wife." "She's gone away." "She looks nice." "And the girl, do you still see her?" "I've never seen her since." "Put this in, Guillaume." "It's a Jules Verne book." "Which one?" ""The Green Ray"." "Show me." "What is the "Green Ray?" "I don't know." "Oh, Guillaume, M. Hargrove just called." "He was quite annoyed." "Couldn't you at least try?" "It seems that you're deliberately excruciating." "Why, Guillaume?" "I would like this to end." "Be kind and help me." "What would you do if father hit Florent?" "Your father is unhappy, not malicious." "The three of us need to try to get him to forget." "I'll never forget." "Okay, someone hit the ball." "One, two." "Try to pass a couple of times before you hit the ball to the other side." "In fact, I did just the opposite." "Good!" "A little too hard." "Pass!" "Almost hit." "It's your turn still." "A little bit too far." "Go on without me, I'll be right back." "Aren't you going to play, Guillaume?" "No, I don't like team sports." "What are you reading?" "Oh, Jules Verne's "The Green Ray"." "I read it at your age." "A great story." "And at the end there's a surprise." "Miss Campbell?" "I'm not telling." "Will he make it out of the cave?" "Way to go girls!" "They're playing better than the boys." "Thank your mother for the books." "Now we have a decent library." "She's not my mother." "Eliane's only Florent's mother." "Doesn't your mother live with you?" "No." "She's dead." "The poor kid." "I didn't know his mother was dead." "She died four or five years ago." "It was terrible for the father and the son." "How did ahe die?" "It was a stupid accident." "Like all accidents." "She was walking with her son on a steep cliff." "She slipped and fell." "Did nobody suspect suicide?" "Oh my goodness, no." "Why would she commit suicide, she had everything to live for." "A lovely boy, a husband... that loved her like a schoolboy." "and, moreover, she was beginning a fantastic career." "What sort of career?" "As a violinist." "She was immensely talented." "Didn't you ever hear of Odile Fourcade?" "No, but I'm not a music buff." "Mr Serrelec very quickly remarried his assistant." "He was a widow and she was a single parent." "Serrelec acted nobly, and recognized Florent as his own." "Nevertheless, those cliffs are really dangerous." "In the movie James Dean drives the car at full speed, and stops right at the edge of the cliff." "Okay guys, let's go." "Turn around." "Right, guys." "From here okay!" "You'll need to be encouraged, I'll go first." "No, stand clear!" "I'll go first." "Give me a count down, guys." "Ready, one, two, three!" "The world record, Kevin!" "Not bad!" "What, you suck." "You were miles away from the edge." "Let's see you do better, clown?" "Piece of cake!" "Come on, then!" "I'm going now." "One, two, three!" "The new world record, Guillaume!" "Awesome!" "Well, guys, who's next?" "Who'll go first?" "Do you want to go?" "So, what do you say, clown?" "It's your turn, I'm waiting." "You see that my tyre's flat, I can't ride." "It's you that's flat, shrimp." "You're afraid, admit it." "Watch closely, I'll show you who's the champion." "Dad, stop!" "Quickly!" "Look!" "They're playing chicken." "Those crazy idiots." "Are you wrong in the head?" "Get out of here, and fast!" "Watch out!" "If I see you around here again, I'll kick your ass!" "What's up, Guillaume?" "Are you okay today?" " I am." "Wait a minute" "Hello." "Hello." "I'm Victor Novak, the substitute." "The children told me about you." "Thank you for the books." "They were just lying around the attic." "I'm glad you brought them." "Guillaume loves Jules Verne." "Oh, great." "How's his school work going?" "I'd like to talk to you about it." "Of course." "But I'd prefer you talk to my husband." "His father, you understand?" "Okay." "In you go, children." "You're late, girls." "I'll carry that heavy bag." "Look it's "The Three Musketeers"!" "Look sir, it's "The Three Musketeers"!" "That's fine." "What rubbish!" "Stories about fighting aren't for girls." "I like the fighting stories." "Put it with the romance novels." "Where do I put the Moliere?" "You put it with the classics." "Sir!" "Here's "Sans Famille"." ""Sans Famille"." "Who's read it?" "Me sir!" "I haven't read it, but I saw it on TV." "It was great!" "Oh, yes." "Yes, but it's not the same thing when you see it on TV." "It's not the same, when you watch it on TV or at the cinema, you see the pictures, which the director has chosen." "While reading a book, it's you that creates the images." "It's good for the imagination." "Exactly." "We can read excerpts from the book and then we'll talk." "Ah, Headmistress." "Well look at that, you're very busy here." "What gives us this honour?" "The doctor has just arrived." "He would like to do health checks today." "This is short notice, but..." "he's at a wedding next week." "We'll be with you, just give us 5 minutes to arrange all this." "Thank you for your understanding." "Goodbye, children." "Goodbye, Headmistress." "Sir, can I go to the bathroom?" "Yes, but make it quick." "Thank you, sir." "Right..." "Sort these books in boxes, eh?" "The novels together, classics in another box, and so on." "Me, the last time, I was just about to faint." "And me, I was spilling blood everywhere." "Stop that nonsense." "Is it true that some children never return from the doctor's room?" "Don't you see, the boys are just trying to scare you?" "Is Guillaume here?" "No, sir." "Didn't he go to the toilet?" "I don't think it should take this long." "I'll continue to search, I don't understand this." "Who's ready?" "Next!" "Okay, off you go." "Take off your shoes." ""Child abuse"" "Guillaume!" "Can't you see that this is taken?" "Well?" "I couldn't find him." "I'm going to see the doctor." "Louder." "Good, you can go and get dressed." "I think you're the last one." "Yes." "I couldn't find him." "Guillaume Serrelec?" "That's right." "I'll mark him absent." "Please do so." "I don't understand." "He was here a minute ago." "Well look at that, the boy doesn't like doctors." "I'm sure you're aware how important the concert is to me." "I would like so much that Guillaume is sublime." "So far, it doesn't look good." "It's getting worse all the time." "He doesn't do anything." "I can't postpone the concert." "He'll be ready, M. Hargrove." "You can count on me," "Guillaume!" "Guillaume!" "I saw you come back, you know." "Why aren't you in school?" "Go to your room." "No, Daddy, no!" "Go to your room right away!" "No!" "5 years, Christiane." "It's been 5 years since Guillaume had a medical examination." "What of it?" "There must be a reason." "And what is the reason?" "The child has a problem, if the he needs a cushion to sit down," "He refuses to show himself to the doctor for 5 years." "He has a problem." "He has a real problem." "Of what sort, do you think?" "Go on!" "Keep going." "if you stop, you know what'll happen to you..." "I'll be right back." "Continue, I want to hear your playing from downstairs." "Naturally." "Come anytime, M. Novak." "Now?" "Well..." "Yes if you'd like to, come and have a drink." "Right." "I'll be expecting you." "See you soon!" "I swear I didn't stop playing, Dad!" "Well, you can stop now." "Stop it now." "We will have a guest." "M. Novak, your teacher." "He's coming for a drink." "I haven't told him anything, I swear," "I know, I know." "Don't worry, I'll take care of him, but you don't say anything." "Just promise me that you'll be more obedient from now on." "I don't want M. Hargrove having to complain about you." "This tribute that the town is preparing for your mother." "You probably know how much it means to me." "You play as well as your mother." "You play her music." "You'll bring her back to life." "You want to do that?" "You want to?" "Yes, Dad." "I want to do that." "That's good." "That's good." "Come on now." "So, Guillaume..." "Why did you leave school without telling anyone?" "Answer." "Were you afraid of the doctor?" "No." "Why then?" "Don't you want to tell me?" "I've got an idea." "Whisper in my ear." "Tell me, I'm listening." "Gosh, that's a bit what I suspected." "Guillaume, be a dear, I forgot the olives on the kitchen table." "Would you be kind and fetch them?" "Yeah." "Do you know what he said to me?" "No." "He didn't want to undress in front of his classmates." "Guillaume has always been a bit shy." "I think I've gained a new client." "It's very possible." "What are you concerned about, M. Novak?" "It seems to me, that your son isn't doing well." "He doesn't adapt to the class." "His classmates consider him... as a bit of an odd child." "It's pretty normal." "His mother's death was a terrible blow for him." "Yes, that's right." "Since then, Guillaume has been a child... hard, impudent and rebellious." "I've tried with my wife to get him to forget about the accident." "We've spoiled him, maybe too much." "I don't know what to do with him." "Sometimes it seems to me, that he hates me." "You know he adores you." "If only we could go sailing together." "But no, he pretends to be afraid of the water." "He gets sea sick." "Thank you, Guillaume." "Offer them to M. Novak." "Then you'll have to continue to play the exercises." "You're behind." "Do you play well?" "You could play better." "Much better, right?" "Good-bye, sir!" "Hey, Guillaume!" "Would you show me your shells?" "Yes, if you want." "I have one from Easter Island." "It's really great." ""Nautilus Pompilius"." "Not now Guillaume, your room is a mess." "You can't show it to M. Novak." "It doesn't matter." "Are you coming?" "And this is my room!" "Your room is pretty neat." "You like James Dean." "Yes, and there he is in "Rebel Without a Cause."" "Do you know how he died?" "No." "In a car accident." "I guess he confused life with the movies." "Look, here's my seashell collection." "Isn't it great?" "Really nice." "Okay sir, guess which is the "Nautilus Pompilius", from Easter Island?" "The Nautilus is here." "And there's a cross-section of it." "Yes." "Do you know what they were used for?" "No." "People used them to to buy goods." "Money didn't yet exist." "Do you ride, eh?" "Not me, but my dad." "It's my dad who rides." "Eight, ten, twelve." "Hello, blonde." "It's Guillaume!" "You've finally decided to learn how to swim, that's great." "You are lucky if you get him in his trunks." "The mere sight of water causes him to panic." "I'm not going to force him." "When he sees his friends in the water, his mood could change." "Stretch out your arms and legs." "Reach out further forward, that's it." "Move it one to another." "Remember the legs, Matthieu." "Go on, that's good." "What are you reading, my dear?" ""The Green Ray", what do you care?" "Are you sulking?" "He's isn't sulking, he's scared." "Get out of here, you fat heads." "Did you hear how he talks to us, this little dear, here?" "In the water, in the water!" "I can't swim, you fools!" "Yes, you can!" "Wait a minute." "Sir!" "Sir!" "Look at Guillaume!" "Guillaume!" "Raise your hands up." "Take your shirt off." "Are you all right?" "What is this?" "Why didn't you tell me, Guillaume?" "The other day when you were off school, the reason wasn't a headache, but because you were beaten." "No!" "No!" "Who did this to you Guillaume?" "No." "Guillaume, come here!" "Guillaume!" "Who did it?" "You need to tell me." "M. Hargrove." "Mr." "Hargrove, your violin teacher?" "Yes." "He hit me, because he can't tolerate me." "What is this story?" "It's true, sir." "I swear." "He hits me with his stick." "With his cane while everyone's watching?" "No, he waits until the others have left." "Guillaume, listen to me." "It's a serious matter to accuse someone." "I'm sure it's your father who beat you." "No, it's not!" "Why did you hide the riding crop behind your back in your room?" "No, it's not true It's not my father, let me be!" "My dad hasn't done anything to me, He never touched me." "Leave me alone!" "It's okay Guillaume, I won't bother you any more." "It's not my father." "Take it easy now." "It's okay, I won't bother you any more." "It's not my father." "Calm down Guillaume." "Victor, you know, I can't believe it." "There's no doubt, you should have seen his back." "You have to be crazy to treat a child that way." "Have you notified the police?" "No." "No!" "What are you waiting for?" "It's much more complicated than you think." "Guillaume loves his father." "Do you want to come for a beer?" "I will, if you have the right beer." "I bought it just for you." "One thing I haven't told you about." "Before I became a teacher, I was a judge." "I'll be damned!" "You don't look like a judge." "I was a children's judge, so cases like Guillaume's..." "I've seen a few of them." "Often, it was too late, when the case was brought to court." "The parents were in prison and the children taken into care." "Not any hope of a normal life." "Do you think if Guillaume continues to get beaten, he'll have a normal life?" "Guillaume has already lost his mother." "He has lost both parents, if the father goes to jail." "Moreover, he thinks he is to blame for everything." "What can we do?" "I don't know." "I don't know, but I have to help him." "I have to help him without hurting him, it's not easy, that." "It's not easy." "This is my birthday present to you." "Did you like it?" "It was beautiful, wonderful." "Now we need to blow out the candles." "Okay, on the count of three." "One, two, three." "When I grow up, I will marry you." "It's funny..." "Sometimes, the violin," "I'd like to smash it, or throw it under a truck." "At other times, I want to hug it, and sleep next to it." "I never know what I want." "It's not true, don't say that." "Yes, it's true." "I'm always doing stupid things although I don't want to." "My father is unhappy because of me." "I bring sadness to everyone." "I'm a dead loss." "I'm the worst." "Garofoli turned to Ricardo." ""Ricardo, get the whip ready"." "Young Ricardo took the whip and prepared to strike." "Come on, my pet, let go from the bottom of your heart," "The first lash brought tears gushing from his eyes." "Ricardo brought his hands up again and the whip lashed back." "Fortunately, I didn't see any more." "The staircase door opened and Vitalis stepped inside." "So, what do you think of Garofoli?" "A terrible guy!" "Wait a minute!" "One at a time, although I agree with you." "Over there, Abdel!" "Punishments should be prohibited." "What about it Marion?" "No, If you do something stupid, you need to get punished." "You're right." "It's normal to punish a foolish act." "I'd like you to think about the relationship that exists... between the offence and the punishment." "So state your stupid act and the ensuing punishment given." "I'd like to know what happens at your home." "When I hit my sister, I don't get dessert." "Kevin?" "With me, when I don't eat something, like... spinach" "I can't watch TV." "Mathilde?" "When I don't eat something... my mother gives me the same food the next morning." "She gives you the same in the morning?" "And do you have to eat it?" "I wait until lunch to eat it as because for breakfast it's..." "That's strange." "What about you Dominique?" "When I put sugar in my brother's moped gas tank, I'm grounded." "After all, that's a serious offense." "Why do you put sugar in his gas tank?" "Because he teases me." "How does he tease you?" "In the evening, he tickles me, and I'm the one Mum tells off..." "Then I put sugar in his gas tank." "Surely, isn't that rather serious?" "Yes, I think that perhaps deserves..." "What about you, Paolo?" "After teasing my sister, I can't use the computer." "Right, good." "Hang on, those aren't very serious infringements." "They get at most a slap on the backside." "You need to know that there are people," "There are some parents, who hit their children." "They hit their children on a daily basis, because these people are ill or tired, or maybe they are sad or alcoholics." "And those kids are very unhappy." "If it happens to you or someone you know, you need to take action." "And you may have to call the police." "Do you know of any situation like this?" "Maybe a neighbour..." "I was at the campsite and in the caravan next to me, was a little two year old child." "And every evening the parents mixed lots of alcohol in a large container." "They drank and then they wouldn't stop beating the child." "They took the child into a cold shower at night." "Did your parents try to do something about it?" "They told the campsite manager." "I really hope that they lost guardianship, and the child was placed in a new home." "Did the cops show up?" "No." "It's very difficult to intervene, it's very difficult to know whether to intervene in others affairs." "whether to put the parents in prison, the situation is difficult," "If you're experiencing something similar, try to talk about it." "Pehaps to your parents." "They may be able to do something." "Yes, Guillaume?" "I think that when a child does something really serious." "I think it's normal to beat him." "What do you mean by really serious?" "Something really serious." "Now all outside!" "Aren't you going to play with your friends?" "Yes, but..." "I just wanted to thank you." "Thanks for what?" "Well, saving my life at the swimming pool." "Well... confidence for confidence." "I feel sorry for your mother's sake." "That she's dead?" "I didn't know." "Never mind." "It's been a long time." "I don't think about it anymore." "At least, almost." "You have a beautiful garden." "It's everything to me." "If the children allowed me the time, I'd be here all day." "Here are the blue geranium's." "Yes, it's a "geranium alpina"." "Have you studied botany?" "I enjoy it." "Only last week they were great." "Now with the rain, and the end of the season." "What do you think that is?" "That..." "I'd say it was a peony." "I am dealing with with an expert." "Come on." "This plant was given to me by your colleagues." "For my birthday" "I won't tell you my age." "Well?" "Well, Astilba." ""Astilba Venus"" "Is it?" "You get 19½ out of 20." "Come on, you must be thirsty." "We'll have some orange juice." "You haven't yet said what you intend to do, Headmistress." "Take a biscuit." "I find it hard to believe." "He's an adventurous boy, he could have hurt himself." "How do you explain him running away from his health check?" "I don't know." "Such a case in such a good family." "M. Serrelec is well respected here." "He does a lot of things for the school." "I agree, I agree" "And your colleague M. Berland has never talked to me about it." "Even though he knows the students better than you." "That's right." "But you could perhaps talk to M. Serrelec?" "Don't you think?" "Listen, Don't think I'm trying to avoid the situation." "This is a very sensitive business." "Are we agreed?" "I quite agree, yes." "In a small town news travels fast." "I won't propagate defamatory rumours about such a respectable family." "Except when I am absolutely sure, that the accusation is justified." "Find witnesses, some evidence and then we'll inform." "Have another biscuit." "No, thank you." "Stop!" "Guillaume, are you doing this on purpose?" "This is your mother's Concerto!" "You insult her!" "You should be ashamed!" "I don't like coercion." "I'm not forcing you!" "Feel free to leave!" "You're quite able to play this piece, but if you don't want to," "Matthieu will take your place!" "I'm sad because of the memory of your mother, and especially for your father." "Begin again from C." "All by yourself, but right this time." "Two, three, four..." "Come on, Guillaume, don't think about it." "It's nothing, sea sickness." "It's all in the mind." "Dad, I feel sick!" "Try now!" "I got sick on the boat at your age." "Fight it." "Dad, let's go home!" "Dad, let's go home, please." "Guillaume come on, I want to be proud of you." "What do I tell them, When we get back home?" "Dad, I don't want to puke again." "Okay, back to home." "The boom, Guillaume!" "The boom." "Guillaume!" "Sorry." "It was my fault." "Are you okay?" "I'll take care of you." "I'm sorry, I didn't see." "Dad!" "It's okay, don't worry." "Dad, don't leave me." "I won't ever leave you, you're my son." "Don't leave me!" "Well, does it hurt a lot?" "I'll take care of you." "We're going back home." "Hello, seagull." "Hey, teacher, is having a wet beak a good sign?" "Yes, I think it is." "It's in good condition." "It's like it knows me." "It's possible." "Okay, back to your seats." "I'll put it back in the cage." "Has anyone seen Guillaume?" "No!" "Kevin, have you seen him?" "Hey, Sir!" "Have you seen him?" "Do you know where he is?" "No, we had to learn how to use the sextant." "Okay." "We'll learn about it, don't worry." "You promised, sir." "Yes, yes." "I'd like to know where Guillaume is." "[Jules Verne:" "The green Ray]" "Yes?" "Can I clean up your room?" "But... what's this?" "Show me." "It can't be true!" "I tell you, your father has a screw loose." "It wasn't him." "In addition you take his defence." "He doesn't deserve excuses." "It wasn't him, I hurt myself on the boat, by myself." "Poor little mite." "Aim at the sun and then the horizon." "Finally, measure the resulting angle." "Sir, sir!" "What is it, Abdel?" "Is there something wrong?" "I don't understand it." "Look at this. 34 degrees north latitude, and 28 east longitude." "It's not France, it's Tunisia." "We might be mistaken, Although isn't Tunisia well suited?" "I'm not a Tunisian but Moroccan." "Hey, sir!" "What is it, Marion?" "Are you in Alaska, Pygmy country, or where?" "No, look it's right, I'm in France." "Oh, very good, Marion got it right." "Now all out!" "Come on." "Off you go." "How's it going, blonde?" "Kevin, what is it?" "Usually, you're the first outside." "It's about Guillaume, sir." "I saw him yesterday in the harbour with his father." "They went saling together." "What then?" "Guillaume had a big mark on his face, and he looked like he'd been crying." "Guillaume's no longer my enemy." "I would like to be his friend." "That was nice, Kevin, Really nice." "Go and play with the others." "And thank you for the information." "Guillaume didn't show up today." "Has he a headache again?" "Yes, again." "And there's no knowing when it'll happen." "So many doctors, so many different opinions" "His classmate told me that he had a bruise on his face." "Ah, the boom changed direction." "It happens to all learner sailors, sometimes." "That's curious, I thought, Guillaume hates the water." "It's much better, it'll soon pass." "Your son hurts himself quite often, don't you think?" "What do you mean, M. Novak?" "I know that you've beaten your son... for a long time Mr. Serrelec." "I've seen his back." "He can't ever get rid of the scars." "That's a ridiculous accusation." "Low and ridiculous." "Have you thought about the boy's future?" "What will he think of you later?" "Who accuses me M. Novak?" "Besides you?" "Guillaume?" "Eliane?" "My friends, your colleagues?" "No, nobody except you." "A little substitute teacher." "To give you some importance you invent a pseudo-scandal." "But I warn you M. Novak There are laws against defamation." "Right, open your mouth." "And think a bit." "What reason would I have to assault my own son?" "That's just what I'd like to understand." "Please tell me if it hurts." "[Dental Reception]" "Thank you." "Congratulate your husband, Madame Serrelec." "As a dentist, he's fine." "This situation can't go on." "I think the same thing every day." "So, help him, help me." "Unfortunately, I can't help you, M. Novak." "Are you quite sure, Madame Serrelec?" "There it is." "[Child abuse]" "It's quite easy, we just need to call, eh, Mum?" "What do you think, Jean-Ba?" "Listen, Arlette, I also got a hammering when I was a kid." "It didn't kill me." "Nevertheless, this has gone too far." "Things can't go on like this." "And what do you want to do about it?" "Think what a scandal it would create." "I can say farewell to my job, and you, too." "If the boss is in jail, he can't pay you for housework." "What about the house?" "Have you thought about the house?" "The house belongs to them." "Couldn't we make a phone call?" "Guillaume!" "Hi Guillaume." "I'm not disturbing you?" "It's comfortable here." "Of course, it's our castle." "In the past the Germans used this place during the war." "Was it while playing at war that you were injured on the cheek?" "No, that was on father's boat, but it's not his fault." "I met your father." "I know." "Believe me, sir, I hurt myself." "I believe you." "I don't think your father hit your face." "I'd like to read the book to the end." "As a child at school, I had a friend called Bernard." "They gave him the nickname Nanar." "He was very rambunctious child." "He came to the school covered in bruises." "Nobody paid it any attention, because he was a boisterous child." "One day Nanar no longer came to school." "Why?" "He was dead." "The parents were sent to prison, but it was too late." "It's now that you must speak, Guillaume." "Now." "If you report my father..." "I'll kill myself." "That's blackmail." "That's blackmail." "I don't think so." "Guillaume!" "Guillaume!" "You're crazy!" "Well... do you believe me, now?" "We're through, here." "SOS, Child Abuse, here?" " Hello, ma'am." "Hello, little one." "What's happened?" "It's not for me, it's for Guillaume." "Guillaume?" "Yes, his father beats him." "And why doesn't Guillaume call himself?" "He doesn't want to." "Oh, right." "And what's your name?" "I can't say it, otherwise, my father and mother will lose their jobs and their home." "Oh, sweetheart, If you don't tell us your name... and your friend doesn't want to talk about it, I can't do anything." "My name is Irene." "Irene Gaudry." "Do you promise, you won't tell anyone?" "Yes, I promise you, Irene." "Right, tell me everything you know, okay." "Go ahead, I'm listening." "Show me." "Show me your hand." "I don't believe it." "That guy is a complete lunatic." "If you aren't going to do anything, I will, because I can't take anymore!" "Above all, Christiane, take no initiative." "Now children inside!" "What's up, did she fall over?" "Go back to class quietly." "Go into your class, and you come and see me." "All right sweetheart, come with me." "I too, am upset, but this is a lot more complicated than you think." "So please be kind and stay calm." "Yes, we will save him." "It's nothing sweetheart." "Come with me to the school nurse." "But that's too heavy, give me your bag." "Guillaume, wait a moment please." "M. Novak, I have good news on your colleague, M. Berland." "He'll soon be back to work." "The yacht races are now over?" "I don't know what you mean." "I'll take Guillaume with me, I have a message for his father." "He's donated a considerable amount to the school fund." "What happened to your hand?" "I got a burn from the oven." "And here on your cheek?" "I hurt myself on father's boat." "All by myself." "Guillaume, I don't have a letter for your father." "Hopefully, you'll forgive my lies." "I just wanted to introduce you to someone, who came especially to see you." "This is the lady, Mademoiselle...?" "Marie-Helene Buisson." "Mlle. Buisson is a social worker." "Do you know what that means?" "She would like to talk a little bit with you in private." "I'll leave you two alone." "All right, Guillaume." "Be reasonable." "Take a seat." "See you later." "Do you know why I came to see you?" "Because I think you're in trouble." "Am I wrong?" "I know, the issue isn't easy to talk about." "But there's nothing to be ashamed of." "You know..." "In France, there are thousands of children, with the same problem." "and if nothing is done for them, they'll be scarred their whole life." "Do you understand, Guillaume?" "I didn't ask anything from you." "I know that your father beats you." "No, it's all a lie!" "Who told you that?" "I'm not allowed to say." "I told you that it's a lie." "Someone is having a joke." "I don't care." "I know who it is." "You are a person, a human being." "There are things we don't have the right to do to a human being, especially when it comes to child" "I don't have anything to say!" "Leave me alone." "Wait!" "Even if you refuse to talk, I have to make a report," "So what should we do?" "Shall we go to your home?" "Shall we ask your father and stepmother?" "You also need to take a physical examination." "No... you have no right to do so." "And my father won't give up." "Think carefully about it Guillaume." "Here, I'll give you my phone number." "You can call me, anytime you want." "You get until Monday, to think about it, okay?" "Okay?" "My father won't give up." "Goodbye." "Good-bye, sir." "Yes?" "Is it true you're going away soon?" "A substitute, by definition, is only temporary." "That's stupid, just as we started to get used to you." "Abdel, we won't say "stupid" but rather a pity, OK?" "All right sir, but we don't say "OK", we say "all right"." "All right, Abdel." "See you tomorrow." "See you tomorrow." "[Bastard, you betrayed me]" "Irene!" "Where's Guillaume?" "At the Forbidden place." "What does that mean?" "Where is he?" "On the cliff, and he didn't want me to go with him." "They went to play Chicken." "One, two, three!" "Hey, Guillaume!" "You've really got guts!" "You got a new record." "You have the new world record." "Okay Guillaume, You're the best," "I admit it." "And that's not all." "But you can't do any better." "You're on the edge of the cliff." "Come with me." "I said I can do better." "No way." "Come with me" "Are you scared?" "Not me." "Don't be stupid!" "Look at this, everyone!" "The champion of champions, the best in the world!" "Son of a bitch!" "Guillaume!" "You promised me you wouldn't say anything." "Guillaume, it wasn't me, I swear." "Liar!" "You cheater!" "No Guillaume, you're crazy!" "Stop it!" "But what have you done, that's so serious, I beg you." "Please tell me." "My mother..." "I killed her." "I killed her." "She died because of me." "Have you never told this to anyone?" "You've kept this inside you all this time." "Yes." "Only my father knows the truth." "Sometimes, the two of us, we'll take a walk, by here." "and he'll tell me things about mother." "The dresses she wore, the music, which she liked." "Talk to me, Guillaume." "talk to me, c'mon, I beg you." "Sometimes at night, I dream that..." "I dream that I fall into a big hole, the bottom of which is full of water." "And I can't get out of it." "[A Tribute to Odile Fourcade]" "Mayor, ladies and gentlemen," "I've dedicated my life to music, and was very proud... to have the opportunity to teach the violin to an exceptional artist." "It is to honour her, that this year, the class of our conservatoire will bear the name... of this exceptional woman, Odile Fourcade." "Odile wasn't only a virtuoso performer, she was also a unique composer." "For her memory and her husband," "My students will now play a work of her composition, that she was unable to finish." "We gave it the name," ""Concerto for Guillaume"." "Guillaume!" "Guillaume!" "Matthieu." "What's happening?" "Watch!" "Guillaume!" "Put the violin away, we're going home." "No, Loïc!" "Let him be!" "What is it, Eliane?" "If you take him, I'll inform the police." "I don't think so." "You'd never do that." "You know that I have to be harsh." "You're going crazy." "I'll bring up my son, as I see fit." "His upbringing concerns me a bit!" "No, Eliane." "It doesn't concern anyone." "Not even you." "Do you know why I waited so long?" "Because I thought that you'd change." "I was hoping it every day, every second." "Now, I've lost all hope." "I regret that I stood aside and haven't done anything about it." "Do you know what'll happen, if you report me?" "It doesn't matter, I can't stand anymore." "I don't want to continue like this." "Loic, no!" "Jean-Baptiste!" "Come on, get out." "Did you call me, sir?" "Yes, close the gate, don't open it for anyone." "Go on," "What about Madame?" "Get inside." "You made me very sad today, Guillaume." "I'm very disappointed, very." "Go on." "I'm sure that you know how to play the piece!" "I am certain of it, you hear." "Open up!" "Oh, no sir." "No, I have my orders." "You can't enter." "Don't you think this has lasted long enough?" "Open up." "No, I can't." "Father!" "Please..." "Let him in." "Play." "No, I won't play." "Play... play now!" "No!" "No, Dad." "Stop it." "I'm scared!" "Ow, Dad!" "Stop!" "That's enough!" "What are you doing here?" "You have no right..." "I forbid you." "He's my son!" "He's my son!" "Dad!" "No, stop!" "Stop it, Dad!" "Please." "Stop it, Dad!" "Please." "Father!" "Brute." "Dad, does it hurt?" "Are you all right?" "Guillaume!" "Get out of here." "Stop hurting each other." "His mother is dead, you won't get her back." "Forgive me, Guillaume." "Dad." "Guillaume." "Your mother's death was indeed an accident." "Dad?" "No, Guillaume." "Go with M. Novak." "Please, take him away." "I want to be alone." "Don't worry, M. Novak." "I just want to sleep in a bit." "Until tomorrow, Guillaume." "Let's go, Guillaume." "Will my dad go to prison?" "I don't think so." "You have both been very unhappy." "The Judge will understand this." "No, no one can understand." "Even the judge, he won't understand anything at all." "Are you sure you haven't forgotten anything?" "Yes, my violin." "Be quick and get it." "Okay." "So, is he cured in your opinion?" "Yeah!" "Are you sure?" "Yeah!" "Shall I release him?" "Yeah!" "Right, count to three, okay?" "One, two, three!" "Hey sir. will we see you again?" "Well, I don't know... during the next sailing regatta, perhaps..." "I'm going, like that seagull." "See you!" "Bye!" "Goodbye, children!" "So long, girls" "Here, it's the guarana powder and lily pollen." "Directly from Brazil and it helps improve your memory." "Thank you," "This might help you remember me for a few days." "Haven't they detained Serrelec?" "No." "Does anyone in prison ever get better after all." "Aren't you afraid he'll continue?" "I don't think so." "The difference between love and hate is so small." "That's why I hate you." "Just stupid..." "All the good-looking and smart guys always go away." "Guillaume!" "Irene!" "we're waiting for the green ray!" "Goodbye, kids!" "Now, will you tell me the end of the story?" ""The Green Ray"?" "Well, it will have to wait." "For the moment when the sun is just about to disappear." "And then, you'll see it." "The last ray of sunshine." "The very last ray..." "It's not red..." "it's green." "Green?" "Yes, it's a magic beam." "And if we are seen together with it... well... we'll stay in love, for the rest of our life" "Aren't you a bit too old to marry me?" "Watch." "It's coming." "There it is!" "The green ray!" "We saw the green ray!"
