He won't be back.

I haven't seen him

since he was drafted.

Why did you help me?

Why not help another human?

If you head out now,

you'll be in the city by dinner.

So you've found me, after all.

I don't know you, good sir.

You don't know me?

Please, please!

I've got a wife and kids.

I'm begging you, don't do it!

Are you comfortable, my friend?

I see you've

settled in quite well here.

Why not spoil

yourself a little, eh?

So, how is she?

What's with your face?

It's as if you're not happy to see me.

Well? Are you ready?

Ready for what?

To move on, of course.

I'm staying here.

If you stay here,

there'll be trouble...

Everybody will suffer,

you and her included.

I want a normal, peaceful life.

This isn't life, Max. It's a lie.

You only think this life is real

because you don't remember

the other one.

You love this woman.

But what do you love about her?

Her young, supple body?

But the body is

only a temporary vestment,

a costume.

So what do you love?

Who do you love, Max?

These poor people,

they live with nothing but the

perceptions of their bodies,

wasting their entire lives

on indulging them.

It's as if you, Max, got a puppy that

became the center of your Universe.

You take care of it,

feed it and wash it,

forgetting all about yourself.

Eventually you start identifying

yourself with the puppy entirely...

Do you see, Max?

This body isn't you, it's the puppy.

Get out of my life,

do you hear me?

Get lost!

What happened?

Where are you going?

Bolt the door and

don't go anywhere until I get back.

I warned you

not to show up here again.

What didn't you understand?

Daddy's home!

1870, AMERICA

1899, AFRICA

1914, FRANCE

I'll do it.

I agree. I'll do it.

I'll do it!

1917, RUSSIA

Freeze!

Your papers!

Move along.

Honey,

Return the scroll...

I'm so happy we're together again.

And that you have agreed.

Finally!

Could you please come over here?

Hold this, please,

with your finger.

Grasp right here.

Cinema.

Humanity's latest invention.

Watch, I'm going to

show you something.

Max,

it's just a movie, a film.

There's nothing there.

It's a screen, a stretch of fabric.

A reflection.

A film!

It was real then, but now

you're looking at it from aside.

To be frank,

everything happening to you now

is also a film.

All of this.

I would call it...

the perfect... cinema.

I've tried

explaining it to you before,

picking the words,

looking for an example.

And now I've found

an example!

Do you still not get it?

What am I supposed to get?

You have a role to play,

and you need to play it right.

Then the film will turn out a success.

Life will be good,

and the director will be happy.
