Pola X

The time is out of joint!

O cursed spite

That ever I was born

to set it right!

Mr. Valombreuse...

Hi, Fred. How's it going?

- I think she's still asleep.

- That's life!

Pierre?

No, someone else...

I hope it fades fast.

I hope it doesn't...

Yes, Marie.

Me too, a very deep sleep.

This afternoon...

You'll be there?

Me too.

She sends her love.

Hurry up. Must I stay dirty

because you're in love!

My poor, poor little brother.

I'm waiting.

This colour's gloomy.

My love...

Look!

Who is Aladin?

"In the Light"

The novel of a generation

- Augusto!

- Hello, Pierre.

- Okay?

- Yes.

Marie!

Hello, my sister.

Hello, my brother.

You're careful

on your father's bike?

With myself or the bike?

Both of you!

He was so fond of it.

You're handsome today,

my brother.

Is it love?

I love you.

Yes, but what if I'd been born

"deformed"?

No, stop it! Stop!

What was it?

I don't know.

No one... A breath...

That happens. Are you worried?

It's happened several times

recently.

You didn't tell me.

Probably one

of your countless suitors...

A coward!

I don't like it...

My sister... Best to accept

life's little mysteries, isn't it?

The huge rock rested on its corner,

A breath taking sight!

He call edit the Terror Stone

for he had never had the courage

or rather the mad imprudence

to crawl into the gap,

The saurus

recklessness

...the mad recklessness...

You seem absorbed.

Oh, family papers...

I want things in order

before the wedding.

We'll have to see our lawyer

about your father's estate.

If you like.

Why did he keep everything?

The cellar's filled

with boxes of papers.

From when he was a diplomat

in Eastern Europe?

Remarkable accounts...

the horrors he witnessed...

the people he knew, helped...

saved in some cases.

Would you say he returned...

transformed?

I was waiting at the station.

I could see he had changed...

but no, he hadn't...

For if he had,

I don't know what I'd have done.

I'd decided to spend

my life with that man, so...

he couldn't change.

It's odd to realize

that at 23 I'd understood

what a couple has to be.

What's on your mind?

Him... You... The two of you...

Me...

The three of us...

You must think of Lucie now.

Don't I get a last cigarette?

No.

I love to smoke.

How's the relationship

between you?

Lucie?

Physical?

Fine, I think.

She's... like a child.

What is it?

My love?

I'm at my computer.

How did your Classes go?

Yes, he replied,

a young, irrevocable love,

Then, everything

will fall into place, A couple!

This meadow

has seen the three of us grow.

He's back, you know.

Thibault?

I had a letter from him yesterday,

a very generous letter.

I didn't get one.

You'll have to see him.

Of course, I'll see him.

What's the matter?

Is it Thibault?

My Lucie... Tell me.

Tell me more about the dream.

Your new dream with the face.

The face?

I've told you everything

I remember.

You haven't told me

the whole truth, Pierre.

I can sense that. It scares me.

This face... who is it?

I'm not hiding anything.

The girl doesn't exist.

She's ageless...

She comes from

who knows where...

It's a face.

Not even... I couldn't draw her.

Long hair, dark, tangled...

A wanderer...

A presence, a breath...

And she just appeared

in your dreams, a few weeks ago?

It's hard to believe.

What can I do?

I should never have mentioned it.

I was stupid to think

love shouldn't keep secrets.

Never say that!

If I thought you had secrets,

it would be over.

Swear you'll never hide

anything from me.

Swear, Pierre!

Stop it, Lucie!

I've missed you too, Thibault.

The "three inseparables", separated.

Two plus one.

But it's my fault,

I took that job far away...

Far from you both...

"We shall never be as we were."

Why do you say that?

We'll see.

How is she?

- Well, I think.

- You think?

And you?

We're getting married.

I'll be your best man, I hope?

Much more than that, I hope.

A brother, cousin...

as you've always been.

A pack of lights, please.

You know, Chicago's one of

the world's biggest stock exchanges.

I may move back for good

in January.

What's wrong?

There's a weird girl

with long, dark hair,

sort of spying on us.

Behind me?

Look.

See, she's running off.

Strange...

For now, I'm moving into

Aunt Maxine's Paris apartment.

There's a floor free

if you and Lucie want it.

Thank you.

Thibault, excuse me,

I have to check something...

That girl.

- That girl?

- Yes, I'll explain.

Come and see us at the chateau.

I'll call you. I'm sorry.

Perfect.

The whole world's after you,

my brother!

The whole world?

Lucie, Thibault... and I.

My phone's on the blink.

I had to go to the hospital

for a few stitches.

The bike skidded, it's nothing.

Skidded?

Believe me, it's nothing.

On the phone,

he mentioned a girl...

Some vagrant with dark hair.

Apparently, you followed her.

Yes... No...

I just wanted...

You're mumbling, brother!

Explain.

Do you remember,

about a month ago...

We were walking home one night.

We found a strange girl

going through our trash...

She ran off when she saw us?

So?

I think I saw her today.

Her?

But that's absurd!

How could you know?

A silhouette, in the dark!

I know.

Why did you follow her?

No reason...

To see... But she had vanished.

It's absurd!

Again? I'll answer from now on

if you want...

Why, you think it's for you?

Why, no... I...
