" Take the guest room." " Are you serious?" "I'm asking you to be my roommate." "We could invite Béatrice to lunch." "Océane hasn't seen you in a while." " Alright, Zach?" " I have OCD." "OCD." "The Association won't let me take the exam." "Did you tell them I was your student when you were head of the ER?" "He's a foreign doctor." "Your father is a member of the Recognition Committee." "They think I'm putting pressure on the Association." "Hello?" "Flowers for Béatrice Clément." "Don't even try." "Come on up, you silly." "Happy birthday." "You said no more plants, right?" "Yes, but this one's tough." "Look inside the envelope." " Care instructions." " This is torture." "It'll kill it, eventually." "You won't, I swear." "What are all those boxes for?" "That is..." "Ben's looking for an apartment." "You know, the few ones left are hovels, like the one he found." " He's not here?" " He's running some errands." "Look." "Great!" "I have to go now." "I'm buying a ticket five-day meditation and coaching workshop." "It's expensive, but worth it." "Come round at 5." "I have a surprise for you." "Er..." " I have to work." " Tuesday's your free day." "Yes, but..." "When were you going to tell me?" "Later." " Why don't you relax?" " I try to, but it's my birthday." "I can't." "I shouldn't be surprised." "It's always the same." "Have a nice day." "HELPING BEATRICE" "Look!" "I drew this for my sister." "It's her birthday present." "Very beautiful!" "Is that Béa?" "You're so gifted!" "Did you see it, Christophe?" "Give it to her at the hospital." "I won't see her today." " You never see her!" " Océane, please." "I promised I'd make her a drawing." "She'll have it, just not today." "Her birthday's today." "Lisa, can't you make a detour?" "I'm not even going to the hospital." "That's not fair!" "We'll find the way." "Go get ready." "She's been talking about Béatrice since we had lunch." "Does it bother you?" "No." "Why do you ask that?" " I'll take the drawing." " Thank you." " I have my reunion tonight." " Right." "Océane and I will be all by ourselves." " I hope we'll survive." " We'll see." "Océane!" "One, two, three, go!" "Go, go!" "You kept those stilts since college?" "I knew I'd use them someday." "You're crazy!" "You're totally crazy!" "I'm saving energy instead of going up and down." "OK, I'll help you." "Tell me what I have to do." " Are you sure?" " Yes." "OK." "Take the roller and finish the wall." "I've almost finished the cutting." "What are you doing?" "I'm painting." "No, you're getting everything dirty." "Why don't you take your time?" "There's no hurry." "Béa..." "Come on, don't cry for that." "That's not the reason." "What is it, then?" "I don't know." "Come here." "Come." "Get up the..." "Come on." "Tell me about it." "I'm a lousy friend." "OK..." "I made Gin sad." "I told her I wouldn't have dinner with her for my birthday." "OK." "What else?" "I didn't tell her you were living here, with me." "Why not?" "I don't know." "She would think it's weird." "I find it... a little weird, too." "That makes me feel better." " Do you regret your offer?" " No, no." "It's just that..." "I have to get used to the idea." "I'm not being nice, am I?" "Not really, no." "But..." "Is there anything else?" "That's it?" "I think that's pretty much it." "You won't celebrate your birthday, as usual?" "No." "I just want to work till 6 PM and then come back home." "Happy birthday, anyway." "Shut up, anyway." "Shut up..." "Regarding the allegations of putting pressure on a staff member of St. Hippolyte hospital, there was a problem of interpretation." "We are deeply sorry." "There's no problem." "As for the necessary conditions to pass the exam, there was a mistake." "As director of professional services, the Association asked me to clarify the situation with you." "I will only need your application papers." "Yes." "I don't know what happened, but you were misinformed." "The Recognition Committee confirmed that you're not required to take part two of the proficiency exam." "That is..." "Thank you." "I had lost all hope." "Dr. Clément - senior, of course - insisted that we correct the mistake." "You left home early today." "My shift starts at 10." "My God!" "You were back at midnight." "I don't make the schedules." "My supervisor does." "She's too demanding." "You know what happens when you push it." "Yeah, yeah..." "Don't you have anyone on your phone to give advice to?" "Today's my birthday." " Happy birthday, Béatrice." " Thank you." "How do you feel?" "Awful." "I hate my birthday." "I've always hated it." "Why?" "There's nothing to celebrate." "You get old." "It happens, that's all." "Why make a big deal about it?" "Getting older bothers you?" "Not at all." "No, I don't think so." "It's just that I don't feel like a woman of my age." "I feel younger." "In my head, I'm like 12." "Oh, really?" "Interesting." "Come on." "It's a manner of speaking." "So you're not going to celebrate?" "Actually..." "Last Sunday, I had lunch with my father and his family." "I know a caterer that makes delicious things." "That's quite interesting." ""That's quite interesting"." "Océane, finish what you have in your mouth before speaking." "Béatrice speaks with her mouth full." "She's a big girl." "I can't tell her off." "Oh, really?" "I want to show you my picture." " Later." "We're eating." " Of course." "So, Ginette, are you still a masseuse?" "Actually, I'm specialized now." "I do Reiki, biomagnetism, myofascial release..." "Those are all body techniques." "I'm going to take a meditation course." "That's still massage." "Sure." "You should've invited Benoît." "I didn't make the guest list." "It's still your birthday." "Let's bring the cake!" "Shh..." "I'm not supposed to know." "Don't spoil the surprise." "Benoît Richard?" "Weren't you over with him?" "Dad, it will never be over with Benoît." " He's my friend." " Your friend?" "More like your parasite." "He's been sticking to you since college, always obsessing over theater and birds." "Please!" "It's been 30 years." "Maybe it's time to move on." "Benoît didn't go to acting school." "And I became a doctor, just as you wanted." "And a good one, too." " Can you stop?" " You got married at 17." "He's to blame for your falling behind." "OK!" "Can we stop with the arguing?" "Oh, the quiche!" "You want to know why I got married so young?" "Just look around." "You're married, Béatrice?" "Please, Océane." "Don't interrupt." "It's rude." "I forgot it was in the oven." "That's disgusting!" "Don't say that." "It's just too cooked on top." " I'll scrape it." " No, you're going to take it back." "That's not edible." "Take that back, please." "Alright." "I'm sorry." " Christophe!" " What?" "Losing it over a goddamn quiche!" "Gin, stop." "Is Dad angry?" "Of course not, sweetie." "Come on, show me your class photo." "Yes, and I'll show you my new room." "I'll help Isabelle." "Do you need help?" " Is this you?" " No!" " What about this?" " No!" "Could meditation help my husband improve his temper?" "I don't know how you do it." "He's not always like that." "It's like... he tenses up when there's a crowd." "I'm not a crowd, and Béa neither." "On the contrary." "You're very important to him." "He's nasty to you, but I assure you, he likes you." "Besides... he knows what you did for Béa's mother." "Right." "It reminded me of my first birthday after my brother died." "My mother was absent." "She forgot the roast beef in the oven, didn't cook the vegetables." "My father was upset." "So I scraped the roast beef, opened a can of peas..." "And... mom was crying." "That was your 12th birthday." "The same age you said you feel." "Touché." "You often say your mother was "absent"." "What did she have?" "She used to take pills for her depression." "And she used to drink, too." "She would drink a lot." "Did her doctor know about that?" "Yes." "He'd told me to prevent her from drinking." "That's why I had to go back home after school." "Did your father take care of her?" "Yes." "But that was over 30 years ago." "It's not like nowadays." "He later sent her to an institution." "Did you feel sick or have an attack after lunch?" "No." " Not at all." " That's funny." "All the elements were there for you to have a panic attack." "Yes." "It's..." "I hadn't thought about it." "It's strange." "Can I venture a guess?" "Be my guest." "It was your aunt Ginette who preserved you that day, by confronting your father." "What?" "I may be wrong, but you were always alone to deal with your father's changing mood." "You had an ally that Sunday." "Oh, boy." "That is..." "That is a very surprising hypothesis." "Poor Ginette." "Why "poor Ginette"?" "Because later, I was quite hard on her." " Come on, say it!" " What?" "You're angry because of what I said." " I'm not." " You are." "Gin, that problem was between Dad and Isabelle." "You had nothing to do there." "You have a drink and you don't even realize." "Me having a drink is not the problem." "Christophe is." "OK." "You're right, Ginette." "Don't call me Ginette!" "Your aunt has an alcohol problem?" "Like your mother?" "No, not at all." "I'm just intolerant." "Gin is a healthy woman." "She eats well, she meditates, she makes her own compost." "And she drinks." "Everybody drinks from time to time and not everybody has an alcohol problem." "No." "Gin is an angel." "I love her." "I really do." "You feel guilty for judging her?" "I judged my mother so much," "I was so hard on her during my childhood and adolescence." "I didn't understand." "That situation was just too complicated for me." "I didn't give her a chance." "And yet..." "Yes?" "The night of my failed party, before going to bed," "I went to the laundry room to put my dirty laundry in the basket." "And then, I saw..." "I saw a beautiful cake with chocolate frosting," "pink flowers and 12 candles." "Mom has written on top:" ""Happy birthday, Béatrice," ""my princess"." "The following day, she didn't want to come out of her room." "I couldn't said "thank you"." "I never thanked her." "BIRDS" "You forgot Dr. Clément doesn't come today?" "Why are you bringing her up?" "You usually do extra hours just to be with her." "You're always with her and nobody says anything." "Right, Anju?" "Admit you forgot this was her free day." "What's the matter?" "There's no action in your life so you go making things up?" "I told you." "He adores her." "I would like to go back to something you said earlier." "Have I ever told you how I feel when you being a sentence with "I would like to go back..."?" "Yes." "A couple of times." "And... that doesn't bother you?" "Listen, I don't do it to upset you." "Let's say it's for a good cause." "Go ahead." "You said you had lunch with your father and his family." "I meant his "new family", his wife and daughter." "I better be careful with what I say." "Your saying "his family" was quite meaningful, as if you weren't a part of it." "That's the case, isn't it?" "In fact," "I was thinking about it." "The last time I went to my father's, before last Sunday," "I was sick all night afterwards." "When was that?" "A few months ago, for Océane's birthday dinner." "What happened then?" "I had an awful chest pain, esophageal spasms." "I even had this sort of vagal episode." "Really?" "Like with your ex-husband, when he called the ambulance." "Yes." "OK." "I hadn't made the connection." "Why did you feel sick after going to your father's?" "I don't know." "I must have eaten too much." "Was it food poisoning?" "We'd had mussels that evening." "I think my problems started that night." "Anyway, I have to go now." "I have to work today, as an exception." "Very good." "You can go." "Try to think about what happened that made you feel sick." "It's when your problems started." "It can be "the triggering discomfort"." "The triggering discomfort?" "Alright..." "Yes." "I'm going to try." "But I can't promise anything." "Hey, woman!" "The ball." ""Hey, woman"." "Yeah, right." "Thank you." "We'll call you if we need an extra player!" "Madam?" "What happened to you?" "Hi, Zach." "It's nothing." "I hurt my toe." "Put some ice on it." "Yes, I know." "I don't think I have any." " I have something better." " You do?" "A bag of frozen peas." "It's better than ice." "You know about that?" "Yes, because of my mother." "When she has a backache," "I give her that wrapped in a wet cloth." "It's super effective." "Do you have one?" "Of course!" "I'll be forever in debt to you, dear Zach." "No problem." "I'll be right back." "It hurts!" " What's wrong?" " Nothing." "I played soccer." " What?" " Nothing serious." "Do you have any news?" "Great news." "I had a meeting this morning." "It's all set." "They drop the complaint and acknowledge my qualifications." "I'll be able to take the Medical Association exam." "In three months." "Miloslaw, I am so happy for you." "You steel toes..." "Are you alright?" "Look at those faces." "Sure, I just played soccer." " Are you OK?" " What?" " OK?" " Nothing serious." "How come it was so easy?" "Someone of influence spoke well of me." "Who?" "Christophe." "So much the better." "Let go of me, damn it!" "Let go!" " Let me go!" " To the resuscitation room!" "Don't touch me!" "Let me go, goddamn it!" "Let go of me!" "Injection!" "I don't want your shit!" "It's water." "Calm down." "I need to know what you took, sir." ""Sir"!" "Methamphetamines?" "We're going to take your pressure." "Don't touch me, damn it!" "You can insult me, but don't touch the doctors!" "When was the last one?" "I don't know, but help me!" "I'm in pain!" "Probably 2 or 3 days." "He's coming down pretty hard." " 170 over 110." " 10 mg of IV Versed." " Diagnosis." " Methamphetamine OD." "Objective criteria?" "Agitation, dilated pupils, diaphoresis, nystagmus." "We'll monitor his vital signs and hydrate him." "Let me go, damn it!" "Calm down, calm down..." "Take it easy." "Look at me, look at me..." "Breathe, breathe..." "Breathe calmly." "Look at me." "Breathe, breathe..." "Stay with me." "Good job with the young man." "Pretty impressive." "That's because I've..." "Forget it." " What about your foot?" " I played soccer." "Soccer?" " I'm impressed." " Excuse me?" "I wouldn't have expected that from a..." "Dr. Laveaux, monitor that man." "He should go to rehab once he gets back on his feet." "Alright." "I get it, Dr. Clément." "No familiarities, no friendship..." "You joke around with the nurses and the guard, but not with me." "That's clear." " Come here!" " Hey!" "Go for an X-ray, but I'm almost certain you have a broken phalanx." "Damn." "I'll go get a wheelchair." "I can walk." "Why don't you relax?" "That's what you should've done after... your soccer game." "I didn't actually played soccer, Dr. Laveaux." "That's what I thought, Dr. Clément." "I need to talk to you." "Brigitte?" "What are you doing here?" "Don't touch me!" "There's a closed room over there." "We'll have some quiet." "Come." "It wasn't easy to find you." "You had my phone number." "You wouldn't have answered." " You didn't even try." " Shh!" "Don't talk to me!" "I'm here to say a couple of things." "Then, I'll go." "I won't bother you anymore." " Brigitte..." " You were right." "You never promised anything." "You were nice and polite." "Always in a good mood." "You were perfect even in bed." "A good friend, a good lover, a hell of a good guy." "Why would you want someone like me?" "Don't say that..." "I thought that if I took my pills, and did sports and meditation," "I would be able to have a normal life, a boyfriend." "I was wrong." " Stop..." " Shh!" "There's nothing you can say, Benoît." "I really thought you loved me." "Even if you never said anything." "But now I understand." "I understand very well." "What do you understand?" "Benoît Richard, the great ornithologist... is a duck!" "Love and all other emotions wash over him, like water on a duck." "Benoît Richard allows himself to be loved, but doesn't love." "He's untouchable, impenetrable, inviolable..." "A duck!" "Enough." "I think..." "I don't care what you think!" "I just came to tell you what I think." "Maybe I'm the crazy, bipolar chick." "But you too have one hell of a problem." "You look cool, considerate and nice." "But deep inside, you feel nothing." "You give nothing." "You're cold." "OK." "I'm done." "I feel better now." "Thank you for having me, Mr. Richard." "Alright?" "Olivier-Luc got your X-rays." "Fracture!" " You call him by his first name?" " Yes." " Not you?" " No, never." "I can't." "I'm his supervisor." "Yes, you're right." "And I'm just a nurse." "Come on..." "That's not what I meant." "I'm just kidding." "Do you know how old he is?" "He must be around 34 or 35 years old." "Why?" " You're interested?" " No." "But I could call him by his first name." "He is over 10 years younger than me." "What?" "What a terrible birthday." "Huh?" " Who told you?" " Olivier-Luc." "How does he know?" "He saw your social security card." "You're not interested in Laveaux, but he clearly likes you." "Have you ever read your patients' cards?" "Feeling better, Dr. Clément?" "Yes, but that painkiller you gave me surely knocked me out." "That's the idea." "You'll be able to go home and rest." " No." " Dr. Rioux says you will." "Exactly." "Happy birthday, gimpy!" "Here!" "Make a wish!" "Make a wish!" "Thank you." "This takes me by surprise, but it's really nice of you." "Not a long time ago, it would've cost you." "That's because you're getting older and nicer, honey." "No, that's because Dr. Laveaux drugged me." "I was just being a responsible doctor." "Are you alright?" "Yes." "What about your client?" "It wasn't a client." "Personal problems." "Yes... it happens." "Have a nice evening." "Happy birthday, Béa." " Happy birthday." " Thank you." " Alright." " I can't leave them alone." "Happy birthday." "Thank you, Luc-Olivier." "It's Olivier-Luc." "You're welcome, Béatrice." " Dr. Clément?" " She must be somewhere near." "Here she comes." "What happened to you?" "Nothing to worry about." "Océane absolutely insisted on you having this on the day of your real birthday." "Looks like me." "She's very gifted." "Do you..." "Do you remember Jean's drawings?" "He was very good, too." "Tell her I said thank you." "Yes." "Why don't you have dinner with us tonight?" "Isabelle won't be home." "I could apologize for what happened on Sunday." "Sometimes, bad memories take over." "Maybe some other time, Dad." "I have a broken toe." "I need to rest." "Look, it's a ghost." "Hi." "Hello, Christophe." " Alright?" " Fine, thank you." "What are you doing here?" "I work here now." "You didn't know?" "I'll be off then." "Let me know when you've got your priorities sorted." "OK..." "I have a surprise for you." "Am I going to have to carry you?" "Yes." " Did you close your eyes?" " Yes." "Your jacket smells like sparrow." "I wonder what Christophe would say if I didn't shake hands with him, for a change." "I wonder what he will say when he finds out." " About what?" " Our arrangement." "I'm pathetic." "No." "Your father controlling you is pathetic." "Where are those sparrows?" "Happy birthday, Béatrice" "Watch your toe." "You can open your eyes." "I knew it!" "I so knew it!" "Ben, no more red-throated bushtits eating from my hand!" " Black-throated." " Whatever." "They won't come." "They didn't when I turned 40." "You birds don't like me." "They fly away." "They'll come this time." "But you have to close your eyes." " No." " Yes." "Open your hand." "Why do I have to close my eyes?" "So you can feel their little feet alighting on your trustworthy hand." " Are you high?" " You're down-to-earth." "Close your eyes or I'll leave you here with your broken toe." "OK." "OK." "Don't move." "Just like that." " What's that?" " Peanuts." "Alright..." "OK." "Come here, little sparrow, so little old Béa can finally go stretch her ever-swelling toe." "Oh, wait!" "Stop moving." " There's one." " Where?" "No." "You have two birds turning around you." "Just don't open your eyes." "I'm scared." "Don't be, don't be." "Stay still." "They're coming, easy..." "Can I?" "Happy birthday from Agathe." "These are your mother's earrings, Ben." "But... they belong to your family." "I can't." "It's too much." "You can't say no." "She left them to you." "She wanted you to have them." "That is so nice of her." "Wait, help me." "Here." "Eat the peanuts." "They are so beautiful." "I loved your mom very much." "She loved you more than she loved me." "Come on..." "Unlike Christophe." "He didn't look happy to see me." "You know... if Océane wasn't here," "I don't think I would see my father again." "Little Océane!" "How old is she now?" "She's 9." "We celebrated her birthday a few months ago." "9 years old." "That's funny." "Same age as your brother when he died." "Same age as Jean..." "It can't be..." "Can it?" "The triggering discomfort..." "Shit!" "Sorry, I didn't mean to..." "No, it's..." "You're a genius, Ben." "Look, I know, but..." "Shut up." "Shut up." "Are you OK?" "Happy birthday." "Thank you." "Gin and I..." "I feel sick." " Can I get you some water?" " No." "I'm sorry." "Subtitles:" "Eclair Media"
