This is the place.

Here are all the files.

You must note down

the listeners' problems.

OK.

Ask for their number,

age, pseudonym.

Generally they take on a pseudonym.

Then Mlina and I choose.

That way we don't have 4 people

talking about premature ejaculation.

They're also part of the crew.

The aging Romeo's Andr.

He's the producer.

Next to him's Bertrand,

the sound engineer.

Is Mlina here?

She comes a few minutes

before the show.

Before, she's in her dressing room.

Careful, naturally

don't take any photos.

She doesn't want

her picture spread around.

Yes, I know.

She won't allow it.

I'm anxious to see her.

She must be wonderful.

I'll tell you more later.

Good evening everyone.

This is Mlina

for "Frank Talk with You".

I'm all yours for two hours,

to listen to your secrets.

We're here to take your calls

at 3712 until 10 p.m.,

or on our Internet site

fty@radiofrance.com.

I'll take our first caller,

Lucie. Lucie from Lorient.

Good evening, Lucie.

How old are you?

I'm 13 years old.

I'm listening.

I'm calling because I...

I'm 5'8".

Goodness, 5'8" is really tall.

Yes.

Is that why you're calling?

Yes.

Being 5'8",

you must already look like a woman.

Because boys, even men,

stare at me all the time

and hit on me.

It's a bit early, isn't it?

Yeah.

How do you feel about that?

I'm not into it,

but my friend says I'm a fool,

I could date the cutest guys

at school.

And the boys in 9th grade,

when I say no,

either tell me I'm a child

or a coward.

They try to touch me.

You want to go out with them?

I don't know. No.

You don't know

if you want to or not?

You should follow your feelings.

- Understand?

- Yes.

You may look like a woman,

but you needn't behave like one.

Remember you're 13.

Yes.

If you don't want

to date 9th graders,

let them have 9th grade girls.

And you date boys your age.

What do you think?

Yes.

Thanks, Mlina.

Bye, Lucie.

Feel free to call again.

Mlina!

Here's this week's mail.

Still sure

you don't want it delivered?

Are you OK, big boy?

Did you have a nice evening?

You didn't like me? What did I say?

Yes, you did.

My treasure.

On Wednesday, Mrs. Gregorchk

will do the cleaning.

Be nice to her. She's great.

Shall we have a cigarette?

Snowball, are you coming?

Snowball, come.

It's so beautiful.

Come on. Let's go in.

Yes, hello?

Yes, it's me.

Are you sure this time?

Walter Agency

Investigation and Inquiries

Hello, Madam.

There's an envelope for me:

Claire Martin.

Here.

Thank you.

Subject:
Identity Search

Following your request, find below:

Jolle GOULAIN,

Montmirail, Marne. Divorced.

Age 66, residing 35 rue des Pinsons,

Claye-Souilly

Turn left.

You've reached your destination.

I see you're 60.

You've got a life ahead of you.

You can still

have a fulfilling sex life.

So I'll pack his bags.

You can meet a young lover.

It's not just movie stars

who meet guys 25 years younger.

Not too young.

Then someone your age: 60.

You can travel, have a ball...

screw all day.

Sure, why not?

Yeah, I'd like that.

No need to suffer.

That's a good idea. I'll do it.

Don't put up with that situation.

Emancipate yourself.

Thanks, Mlina.

Goodbye, Josiane.

Bye, thanks.

Now we're talking to Aline,

from Verdon.

Good evening, Aline.

Good evening, Mlina.

Well...

I'm calling because my ex

left me a year and a half ago.

Yes.

Sometimes we meet

for a cup of coffee.

I think we can

start something serious again.

I'd like to get back together

with him...

Go to bed with him,

but I dare not say it.

So after your love affair,

you developed a friendship?

Yes.

- You don't dare tell him?

- No.

That you'd maybe like to try again?

That's right.

Are you afraid of rejection?

I'm afraid he'll abandon me again,

like last time.

When you're abandoned once,

it's not easy

to face a second abandonment.

On the other hand,

isn't it better to dare to say it,

and in so doing,

maybe resolve your childhood wounds.

The abandonment

that hurts so deeply,

is often linked

to other abandonments.

And rewriting the story today,

being able to confront

the second abandonment,

is perhaps reclaiming

your role as a woman.

Perhaps you're strong enough today

to look at things differently.

I'm Claire Goulain.

Claire Goulain.

Jolle!

I left the key. I'm going.

OK, thanks.

Darn it!

Sh*t!

You here for clothes?

No.

Is it for charity work?

Yes, maybe.

Come this way.

Here.

Let's get down to work.

Stand there and sort:

Men, women, children.

Does Jolle work for you?

Jojo... you know her?

A bit, I guess.

She works with the stock.

Now she's retired,

she works three days a week.

We're all retired women.

Why set aside these garments?

They're not practical.

People have other concerns.

Why?

Why would people in need

not want to be sexy?

You're right. I'm an idiot.

You said it.

They put ideas in our head,

and we don't realize.

What line are you in?

Human resources.

Human resources!

You're classy.

I'm not a dyke or anything,

but you're a pretty gal.

Thanks.

Hi, Lucette.

Hello.

You OK?

I've an invitation for you.

Julie did them.

Saturday's my birthday.

- Thanks, I'll drop by.

- I'd like that.

- Are you new?

- Yes.

She started today.

- You can come too, if you want.

- No, I never go to parties.

Really?

Take it anyhow.

Only idiots don't change their mind.

Have a good day.

Bye, Lucette. See you Saturday.

That's Jolle's grandson.

The woman you asked about...

Jolle Goulain.

Is that her grandson?

Well, not exactly, because

Jolle's son is with a woman

who already had 2 kids.

He's the elder.

So...

Saturday, October 27

Help us blow out Lucas's 27 candles

Hi there.

Lucas invited me.

- Put your things here.

- No. I'll keep them.

Really? Even your hat and gloves?

Yes.

I'll go and get him.

Lucas, you've got a guest.

Hi.

So you came after all.

Happy birthday.

You didn't have to bring a gift.

Lucette just left.

It's no big deal.

- Is this your house?

- My mom and stepfather's.

That's my mother.

Beside her is my stepfather.

Behind him is my grandmother,

actually my stepfather's mother,

Jolle.

She works for the charity too.

Jolle? Where?

Over there.

In the blue pullover.

- I'll introduce you.

- No!

I'd rather have a drink first.

What would you like?

Whatever.

Fashion... It's vulgar.

We don't give a damn.

I got you a tequila. Is that OK?

Perfect.

You're not too bored?

Not at all.

- What's your name?

- Claire.

- I'll introduce you.

- No, don't...

My best friend, Rmi.

We swam together.

I won't shake hands.

I'm catching bird flu.

I'm afraid you'll get it.

That's my...

Come on.

That's my mother... my mom.

Claire.

She's new at the charity.

Hello. Welcome.

Aren't you hot in that?

I'm getting a flu,

and maybe herpes.

Really?

Luck's not on your side.

No.

You're so pale.

Want something to eat?

No, nothing homemade.

Really?

If you want something, just ask.

Or help yourself. Feel free.
