Le mirage Page #5

Synopsis: With the natural splendour of Lac Léman as a back-drop, Le Mirage is the story of a woman who believes she can recapture her youth by rediscovering love... with no regard for the inescapable realities of life. Maria Tummler, still quite beautiful despite her fifty years, is suddenly possessed with a consuming passion for a young visiting American, a friend of her son. But neither Jeanne, her friend, nor Anna, her daughter and faithful confidante, have a right to know, even though the young girl can see the emotion in her mother's eyes and is delighted to witness the physical transformation seemingly taking place. Maria is prepared to live this miracle of resuscitated love to its very end, even as some signs of a strange physical weariness begin to invade her new-found sense of well-being.

SwitzerIand says it's the center...

China was the MiddIe Kingdom -

the heroic vaIIey

between Mainz and KobIenz.

Do we want to pIay baII

in the viIIage fieId?

Mama, I'm just trying to be funny.

Lost your sense of humor?

Sorry, Ken.

You know so much,

you shouId teach history.

Won't get many students...

I'd sign up for your cIasses.

In that case, I'd feeI...

Ken wouId feeI a bit intimidated.

It's good for shyness.

No, I don't drink aIcohoI.

I drink wine, but not aIcohoI.

Because of my iIIness.

- Your iIIness?

I onIy have one kidney.

You can break a kidney

Iike you break your Ieg.

A broken kidney is a stream

of trickIing bIood

that can cause a haemorrhage.

If it haemorrhages,

you Iose your kidney.

I'm so sorry.

It's okay. I get by just fine.

One kidney is whoIIy sufficient.

It gets bigger than normaI kidneys.

WouId you do me a favor?

Yes.

PIease pIay Mozart's ''Variations''

for me, I Iove it.

I'II never tire of our waIks.

It's so pIeasant.

I Iike it aII here.

The dust and the pebbIes

on the path...

I know aII the bumps

and when I see them again,

it's Iike seeing friends.

We're not stopping here?

PIease, I'd Iike to go back aIone.

I Iove him.

I Iove him Iike I've never Ioved

at my age.

Those Iegs,

those shouIders,

those arms I Iong to feeI around me.

I'm ashamed.

I'm ashamed to confront him

and to feeI his innocent

gaze on at me.

I'm scared.

He hurt me.

I want him.

For the first time,

it's me who desires...

I'm stiII a woman

because I Iove him.

Anna doesn't beIieve in miracIes,

but I beIieve in them.

Nature can restore your faith

even when it's too Iate.

AImost too Iate...

desire,

jeaIousy,

I'm feeIing them today

as I'm disoriented and ravished.

My God,

I'm going crazy.

I'm ridicuIous.

I'm not Iaughing.

I don't want to Iaugh,

I want to beIieve.

I want to beIieve,

beIieve in nature's gifts

of weII-being,

in this beautifuI springtime,

in this overdue awakening.

Are you dining with us, Ken?

Oh, I'm sorry.

But I can on Friday.

Okay, that's good...

You're not dressed weII;

evenings are cooI now.

Don't worry, I'm not too fragiIe.

Excuse me, Mrs TummIer.

Are you hurt?

No, I'm cIumsy.

I'II take care of it.

Do you want to pIay something?

If you want music, you can pIay a CD.

Edouard, take care of Mr. Ken.

Good evening.

Don't be upset with Mama.

She's a bit off-putting IateIy.

It's typicaIIy European anxiety.

That's why I Iike it.

Ah yes, perhaps.

Good night.

- Good night, Ken.

What's going on with Mama?

Doesn't she Iike Ken now

or does she Iike him a Iot?
