You are not the type someone dumps.

Forgive me, I talk too much.

Poor guy.

- Who?

- He was asleep there last night.

He's gone now but left the flute.

Julie?

A coffee.

I searched everywhere.

And I found you.

Nobody knows where I live.

It took a few months.

Then I got lucky.

My cleaning lady's daughter

saw you in the area.

I've come here ever since.

I miss you.

Did you run away?

From me?

Do you hear what he is playing?

- It sounds like...

- Yes.

I've seen you. Maybe that will

do for now.

I'll try.

- How do you know this music?

- I invent lots of things. I like to play.

Just a second.

A problem with your place?

No. I would like another one

like this.

- I can manage that but it will take time.

- How long?

You cut yourself.

My cat scratched me.

Mom?

Marie-France.

It's me. Julie.

Come to me.

I've heard you are dead.

You seem fine.

Very young.

You were always younger,

you look 30 now.

I'm not your sister,

but daughter. I'm 33.

I know.

I was kidding.

I have everything here.

The TV...

I see the entire world.

- Do you watch too?

- No.

Tell me about your house,

husband...

children...

- Or about you?

- Mom...

My husband and daughter are dead.

I have no home anymore.

I heard about it.

I was happy before.

I loved them and they loved me.

Mom, are you listening to me?

I am listening to, Marie-France.

Now I have only one thing

left to do:

Nothing.

I don't want anymore friends,

belongings, love. Those are all traps.

Do you have money, my child?

To get by?

- Yes I have enough.

- That's important.

You can't give up everything.

- Mom?

- Yes?

Was I afraid of mice

during my child days?

You weren't.

Julie was afraid.

I'm afraid now.

Thank you.

- Nice to see you. Come in.

- Can I ask you something?

- My wife is out. Please come in.

- Can you lend me your cat?

- Excuse me?

- Cat. For a few days.

It is not castrated.

It can be aggressive.

I am not sure it likes you.

- What are you doing here?

- I saw you from the bus.

You were running like crazy.

Are you crying?

It is the water.

- You don't wear underwear?

- Never.

I borrowed the cat from the neighbor,

to kill the mice. It had babies.

It's normal, Julie.

Are you afraid to go back?

I'll go clean up.

I'll see you at my place.

It's Lucille. Take a taxi here.

I will pay you back.

- Now? It is late.

- 23.30. You have 25 minutes. It's important.

I can't.

I beg you. I never asked you

for anything. Please come.

Where?

Cita de Midi 3. Near Pigalle.

First door on the left. There's a buzzer.

Say it's for me. You'll come?

I am here for Lucille.

You came.

Forgive me.

I'm sorry.

- Are you angry?

- No.

We are on in 5 minutes.
