-Yes, very well.

She said nothing all day but when I

took her to bed, she started asking thousands of questions.

She was still talking when she fell asleep.

She wanted to know

everything. What I had done...

...and where I had been all this time.

I didn't tell her about prison. I made

up a story.

She is too small.

You can explain later.

I missed her so much, it's crazy.

And you? Weren't you bored ?

No, I went for a walk.

I felt like I was on holiday.

I couldn't stay in England, it was too hard.

So I got a job as an au pair, arrived

in Nimes speaking no French at all.

My first day, my boss asked me to do the shopping.

I didn't know the town at all

I was totally lost, in a panic, and a young

man helped me. That was Samuel, my husband.

And you?

The first time I was in Nimes was

on tour, with a Spanish singer.

I'd known his songs all my life

and heard him singing in Nimes in Catalan...

He sang a song called 'the seventh

heaven 'and that was so moving.

Sing it.

That was it.

Beautiful.

Just in time. It's match point.

hello!

Did everything go ok?

-Yes.

Game, set, match for David Vidal.

You beat him in the end! Bravo.

You didn't see me play.

I saw you win.

Good game.

How's your knee? Any better?

Look. Nothing wrong with that.

Thanks to the injections?

When are we playing again?

Wednesday?

Hello.

Hello.

Emir is going to finish up the work.

Fine.

He won't make you work, that one!

Have you heard from Ivan? Is he ok?

He's at home. He still can't work.

My husband and I would like

to help him. Do you have his address?

Of course.

"Hope you're recovering!"

"Suzanne"

One more time. Push against

my hand. Push, push, push.

Very good, and let go.

Okay? Breathe.

Now we'll move the kneecap.

Slowly and carefully. Just like that.

Excuse me.

Hello?

-It's Ivan. / I...

...I found your envelope.

Thank you, you're very kind. / I

Is your leg better?

Not bad. I can at least put my foot on the floor. / I

Do you have time for a cup of coffee?

I have all the time in the world.

I could drink a thousand coffees. / I

Around 3 o'clock then?

Sure. / i

Hello.

Sorry, I don't have a vase.

I should have thought of that.

Let's see if we can find something.

This will do.

There you go.

Hurry up!

Hello, M. Lagache, it's Suzanne Vidal.

Listen, I can't come today.

Yes. No, no, tomorrow.

Well, see you tomorrow.

Goodbye.

It's already a lot better.

Yes.

Look.

That's really good.

I don't want to go.

Stay then.

I can't.

I have to go.

Chase me away.

You'll have to chase me,

otherwise I won't be able to go.

Well then.

Go away.

Go on, leave.

I've hurt my shoulder, Mum.

Can you massage it for me?
