- No, I don't.

Not since my wife left.

She left?

I wanted to ask you...

Yes?

No, never mind.

Can I take a picture of you

in my garden?

Excuse me?

It's just that I take pictures

of any important event.

I'm an important event?

I'll be back.

Alex, hurry up!

I'm not the one catching the train.

I'm coming!

I couldn't find my file.

- Hurry.

- You brought a lot of stuff.

- I just took some extra shirts.

- You're only going for eight days.

- Eight days is a long time.

- Yeah? Will you miss me?

I always miss you, even here.

I miss you when you go shopping.

- Still, 12 shirts for eight days.

- I'll need a new shirt

for every time I cheat on you.

- You're such an idiot.

- I love it when you get jealous.

- Come on, let's go.

- Love makes people stupid.

Let's stay stupid.

- It doesn't get easier.

- I'll never get used to it.

Neither will I.

I hate leaving you alone

in that big house.

Don't worry.

Nothing can happen to me.

I must go.

Hello.

Listen, it would be nice

if you came to dinner next week.

Yes. What day?

I don't know. Alex will be back

on Saturday. Monday?

We'd love to.

But is something wrong?

Ah! No, it's because

I've just taken Alex to the station.

Why don't you park the car?

We'll have a drink. OK?

- You OK?

- Yes, I'm fine.

What an arse!

"Welcome to the neighbourhood.

Gilles. "

Oh, my!

Here? It's so hot! 37 degrees!

I'm changing twice a day. Thank God

I overdid it with the shirts.

You're so handsome.

You're not bad either.

It's great to hear your voice.

You could call me a bit more often.

You know, what with the heat

and all the work,

I collapse

when I get back to my room.

You could call me

before collapsing.

Can't you see how much I miss you

after only three days?

- Aren't you exaggerating a bit?

- No.

But you're not completely alone.

By the way,

have you seen Gilles again?

No, but I might go to the antiques'

market with him on Saturday.

Don't forget your camera.

My...? Oh, you're such an idiot.

This landscape is so beautiful.

It looks like a painting.

Nature imitating art.

Oscar Wilde.

He's the one who said that.

- Did he?

- He was a freethinker.

It killed him.

- What are you thinking about?

- That sentence by Alain.

Remember?

Happiness needs to be earned.

It only exists if you will it.

That's it.

Do you want to be happy?

I am.

Your husband is very lucky, Pauline.

I hope he knows it.

Alex is the air that I breathe.

I live for him.

Are you all right, Gilles?

I'll be fine.

Would you like to get some air,

take a few steps?

Or perhaps I could call a...

There's no point.

See? I'm already feeling better.

Go ahead. I'll join you.

You scared me.
