April and the Extraordinary World Page #7

Synopsis: In 1941, the world is radically different from the one we know from history books. Geopolitics has developed strangely: Napoleon V rules France and, for the last 70 years, scholars have been mysteriously disappearing, depriving mankind of their inventions. Without radio, television, electricity, aviation, and the combustion engine, the world is mired in outdated technology, dozing in the previous century's knowhow dominated by coal and steam. In this bizarre universe, Avril (Marion Cotillard), a teenage girl, Darwin (Philippe Katerine), her talking cat, Pops (Jean Rochefort), her grandfather, and Julius (Marc-André Grondin), a young scoundrel and police informer, go off in search of Avril's parents, two of the missing scientists. The quartet will face many dangers and mysteries in this strange new Rigged World.

Is this how you pay

your rent here?

Hey, I found those!

I'm a collector! Got a problem with that?

You can sleep there, and

I'll stay in this corner.

There's a bucket for,

uh, well, you know what.

How do you do it?

Standing or like normal cats?

I'm normal, but I don't

like to be watched.

By the way, name's Julius.

Goodnight, Julius.

Uh, you wanna explain

what happened at the statue?

I don't know.

And your cat,

how come he can talk?

He talks, that's all.

The rat that said "Father,"

is he like the cat?

No, I don't think so.

You lost your parents, right?

What's it to you?

What's with all the questions?

Well, uh,

you're young,

you live alone.

I doubt it's 'cause you want to.

I know how you feel.

My mom and dad,

I never knew who they were.

At least, you never knew

what you regret.

So, you have nobody?

A brother, an uncle,

or a grandfather?

It's none

of your business!

Doesn't matter,

I'm leaving tomorrow with Darwin,

and you can go back

to being a "collector."

But for now, let me sleep!

I can help if you want.

You should think about it.

I told you already.

I don't need anyone.

Without him, you would

have been caught at the fair

and you'd have never heard

your father's message.

Julius, do you know

where there's an oak in Paris?

- A what?

- An oak. A tree.

You mean the tree? Sure, there's

only one left in the whole city.

Ugh! We've been here for hours.

What're we waiting for?

I don't know.

Now be quiet and wait.

OAK:

Hmm.

"Certain varieties can live

to 1,100 years old."

"The oak was

widespread throughout Europe.

"And at present, only

three specimens remain."

This doesn't interest you?

No, Professor Darwin,

Mr. Boring Scientist.

Don't look at me.

Don't look at me.

101 rue de Bayonet,

Svres.

To get in,

remember this number, 1931.

Wait here one hour before you go.

I must leave here alone.

What just happened?

What're you doing?

He told us to wait.

I thought

you were in a rush.

Annette, for 10 years I've been

watching those surveillance screens.

And the minute

I finally find April,

you play cop for those wackos!

Do you realize that April has what

we've been searching for all this time?

Here, even

with the best material

and the most brilliant

scientists on the planet,

we've never been successful!

But thanks to her,

thanks to the Ultimate Serum,

the project can

become a reality!

Where is April?

What did you tell her?

Paul, April will

be safe here.

We'll be a family again,

and we'll work together.

We'll work together?

You don't want to find her.

You want to recruit her for

your twisted dream project!

You wanted that same dream not long ago.

But then I woke up!
