Unforgivable
Who said,
"'As I sit here,
as the man my friends know,
"'I can't grasp the origin
of my work,
And more than a mother
that of her baby. "'
Unlikely, maybe,
but it's what interests me.
A woman
who refuses her role as mother,
Her marital,
family and social bonds.
She takes the plunge
into the unknown.
Unforgivable
Or there's this.
Over your budget, but worth it.
Autumn
a house with a real garden.
- Where the heck is it?
- Sant'erasmo.
Hold on...
Im not moving to Venice
to wind up on a desert island.
It's remote,
but it comes with a boat.
You just need to be organized.
I know the owners.
- Now listen, Mrs...
- Miss.
Miss.
Do you think Im rolling in it?
I don't know...
your books are bestsellers.
I'm in Venice for peace and quiet.
Write, breathe, sleep.
One room's enough.
A big one, preferably.
You're describing your hotel room.
I doubt I can help.
I'll see you out.
It's inhumane
to kick me out in this weather.
You like rain, don't you?
What makes you say that?
The construction of paradise
is a real deluge.
You've read my books?
Not all of them,
but I liked that one.
Sold well, but not my best.
Can you maybe fix me a grog?
This isn't a bar.
Tea, regular or herb.
Not herb tea.
It makes you fall in love.
I mean...
it wouldn't be hard.
I have Kleenex, too.
Thanks.
Is business good?
There are agencies
popping up all over town.
Rentals are okay,
but sales aren't great.
Why do you like
sant'erasmo so much?
I don't know. On one side,
there's the sea. The lagoon.
On the other, countryside.
The vines.
Sh*t!
Not that old trick.
Sorry,
I'm out of gas.
It's the agency boat. Hold on...
you have flares, I hope.
There's no danger.
It's not coming our way.
We'll aim for that dock there.
Let's just drift.
We'll land up somewhere.
No, we can't do that.
Sorry, we'll have to row.
- Row? Which way?
- Over there.
- Surely, you know how to row?
- I suppose so.
This is different.
I'm really...
we're aiming for that dock there.
Sure, if we manage
to escape the liner.
Start rowing, but you ought to...
Im rowing.
I realize we have to move fast.
We're not going in that direction.
How come you speak such good French?
Because Im French.
- No.
I grew up in Grenoble.
Doing what?
Modeling.
At 30, I changed jobs.
I had to, I was too old.
And then?
And then...
Im not going
to tell you my life story.
Then I traveled a lot, that's all.
You gave up work?
I got a job
I spent my life on planes.
Why all these questions?
I have a very dull life.
You're right, this is great.
In winter,
no one wants to live here.
If you plan
I'm sure they'll lower the price.
It depends on you.
Depends on me?
Move in with me
and I sign right now.
Good joke.
I'm single. We'll have
a new life if you are too.
You're mad.
What if I am?
It's a serious offer.
It's ridiculous. You don't know me.
Don't need to, to love someone.
It's okay.
Didn't mean to scare you.
I'm sorry.
Don't mess around, just marry him.
I'm not sure I can live with a man.
Living with a woman worked out,
did it?
Stop it.
The sex doesn't worry me,
It's the relationship.
With a writer, it's different.
What about you?
You had something to ask me...
yes.
Look!
It's a silver venetian half-Ducat,
Known as a half ecu with cross,
First minted sometime around 1660.
It's a forgery.
A forgery? So it's worthless.
A period forgery,
made by 17th century counterfeiters.
Time makes everything
worth something.
Should I get it valued?
You won't get much.
Money troubles?
Actually...
private detective isn't what it was.
They're closing the office.
Are you sure you're not interested?
Honestly,
Ive no idea what it's worth.
Take it then. My gift.
Thank you.
Now, just to make me happy,
Let me lend you some money.
Absolutely no way!
How much do you need?
You've no choice. How much?
Nothing, thanks.
- You never call.
- So I don't bother you.
That's rich.
I invited you over millions
of times. You always refused.
I was scared
of seeing you again, you know.
Let bygones be bygones.
You're right. Sorry.
Your hair suits you short.
Inmate Jrmie Lemo.
You have a visitor. 25 minutes.
Mom, stop coming all the time.
It's a pain. I already told you.
Today's different.
I have 1,000 euros for you.
You're kidding me?
Did you win the lottery?
Thanks anyway.
I told you,
don't wear so much make-Up here.
Summer
(one and a half years later)
Thank you.
You asked me
to send it and I forgot.
- So here it is.
- I appreciate it.
"'The king of neo-Gothic thrillers
is in Venice... "'
Please! I can't stand it!
Turn them down next time.
Out of the news, you panic.
In the news, you complain.
Make your mind up.
Did you come to make trouble?
Vicky, we're in the back.
We put mosquito nets everywhere.
You'll sleep better than last year.
You both seem in great shape.
What about you?
Tell us where you're at.
Where Im at with what?
I don't know.
How are things going with roger?
We live separate lives.
How about you and your book?
Me?
I can't write when Im in love.
For June, it's not so cold.
- It's freezing!
- The way your father likes it.
Surprise me!
