Chorus Page #2

Synopsis: A separate couple meet again after ten years when we found the body of their missing son. During their forced reunion, they both handle the death of their child in their own way. Amid the guilt of losing a loved one, they haltingly move toward affirmation of life, acceptance of death and even the possibility of reconciliation. Chorus is a love story that emerges from mourning and leads to two survivors clinging to each other as if to heal the deepest cut of all.

I'll take a description.

What's his height?

Four feet.

Weight?

60, 70 lbs.

Hair?

Brown, almost black.

Eyes?

Brown.

It's Dad.

Are you OK?

- Yes.

Are you mad at me?

Are you in pain?

Will I speak to you again?

- Yes.

The morning Hugo left for school...

It was a normal day.

He sat in his t-shirt,

tying his laces.

After, I just slumped on my chair.

Hugo had the strength to die.

I was so much weaker.

Christophe arrives tomorrow.

Well, today, given the time now.

He asked the name of the man

who killed Hugo.

I didn't tell him.

I'm scared he's coming only

to resume his manhunt.

Not because of Hugo.

But maybe he's changed in 10 years.

We were in our early 30s.

We sensed that Hugo was dead.

Now we know he was murdered.

You don't pack much.

Enough.

A shod visit?

Seven days.

Sit down, you must be tired.

S it.

Sit down.

How do you spend your days there?

Odd jobs.

I don't know how to say this.

- Dad...

You don't have to talk.

All these years.

A long time.

You've changed.

Are you angry with me?

How can you ask that?

I was angry that you left,

but I've had time to think.

I understand you.

Do you blame me for Hugo?

- No.

Never.

Gabrielle, it's Marc.

Hello, Marc.

I wanted to call yesterday,but...

Can I talk to her?

Irne's still asleep.

She needs to rest.

I understand.

They talked about Hugo on the news.

They don't waste any time.

Reporters keep calling.

We tell them it's none of their business.

Will she be able to get over this?

Yes, she'll get through it.

She's built solid.

I'll tell her you called.

Thanks.

Are you thirsty?

Why did you say that?

What?

That I'm built solid.

You want me to blot out Hugo

like you did Dad.

You want it all to disappear.

Why didn't you cry

when Dad killed himself?

To protect you.

You protected me from nothing.

You failed.

His bankruptcy, the debts he left us.

Wow, great!

Some protection!

Don't talk like that about your dad.

He loved you.

So what?

I'm talking about you.

10 years is enough grieving.

Grieving...

I hate that word.

Irne, your father,

and what's happening with Hugo...

It's a way of coming to God.

I do my best, Irne.

What?

I do my best.

Yes?

It's me.

I'm here. I'm at my dad's.

That's all there was?

- That's all.

Do you have a...

...a report or something?

Yes.

Hugo Ducharme-Collin's remains

were discovered on December 4.

DNA analysis indicates

death occurred 10 years ago.

The body was buried...

Irne!

A rapid intervention

seems increasingly likely.

Barack Obama has spent the day on the phone

consulting with his counterparts.

It is unlikely that the UN will

sanction an attack on the Syrian regime.

Russia and China,
