Et l’on voit tout au fond, quand l’œil ose y descendre, --Ce que dit la bouche d’ombre by Victor Hugo "Each heir will receive annually a sum equal in proportion to the total inheritance. However, in order not to forfeit my inheritance, all must live in Malpertuis." "Live here?" "They will promise not to leave the house. They will never be able to leave the house and will stay here until their death. " --Malpertuis (1971) by Harry Kümel |

Plot
Jan (Mathieu Carrière), a young sailor, returns to land, and while searching for his childhood home, is mysteriously abducted. He awakens in an isolated old mansion called Malpertuis, where he find himself among various relatives, including his sister Nancy (Susan Hampshire), as well as a strange taxidermist and a resident madman called Lampernisse (Jean-Pierre Cassel). The mansion turns out to be a labyrinth of corridors, staircases, and secret chambers, belonging to his family.
His bedridden occultist uncle Cassavius (Orson Welles) is about to divide the estate to his heirs, but, as it turns out, only if they commit themselves never to leave the premises. They find themselves trapped in a mystery where they enact gods from Greek mythology, which Cassavius believes them to be, while anyone who tries to escape is found horribly murdered. The plot remains obscure to the end, as Jan tries to unravel the mystery and seems to spiral into a dreamlike madness.

What will we do? He will be furious.

It is inevitable that it will go down.

Fate, friend. Destiny.
That's our boy.

And my family? My family.
The house was abandoned a long time ago.

Look.
Nancy...
How can he be here?

Have you seen a girl around here?
Go to Malpertuis. Tell him you'll be there soon.
I'll take care of it.
Gerda, how's everything?
Nancy, it's me, Yann.
Yann?
- Nice name. - Excuse me.
Hey, Yann, did you decide to come?
In the end you preferred to come, eh?
he can, with a glad heart
offer me a glass or a bouquet
without seeing me and without looking at me,
I am willing to accept everything from him.
He can, with a drunken heart,
offer me insults and blows,
destroy my dreams, steal my money,
I am willing to give my life for him.
La la la la, he's for me.
La la la la, he was born for me.
La la la la, he will be mine.
La la la la, he's my man.
La la la la, he's for me.

Come on, you're not sad.
Offer me something to drink.
So we can dance together.
come, come
Me Ilamo Bets.
Oh no, I've quit. You're going to make me drunk again.
Mischievous. You have not changed anything.
And Sylvie? Are you still with her?
It's pretty rare for one of ours to get married.
Tell me, Gerda,
that girl...
Bets?
Are you interested?
- Whose is it? - From everyone.
- Sure, but who protects her? -Hans.
The strong guy over there.
He's handsome, right?
Has luck.
You don't mind if he sleeps with other people?
to him? It would be rather the opposite...
As long as it's not for the heart, of course...
Of course...
Tell me that you will return.
- I don't think so. - Why not?
My ship sails tomorrow.
Whiskey? more?
more? Okay...
That singer is very pretty.
Yes, and even so, he has not seen everything.
He seems to like that sailor a lot.
I think if he wanted to, it wouldn't cost him dearly.
- Stop. Release it. - What's up?
Get out of here.
Nope.
You are a bastard.
Oh!
Oh!
Hey! Hey!
Nancy?
Yann...
Nancy, finally.
- You can't imagine... - Yes, I know.
But what has happened?
- I don't remember. - You slept a lot.
- But has my ship sailed? - Yes, of course.
Listen, your ship... You have to forget about all that.
I have had a nightmare. I couldn't find you
Everything had disappeared.
The house had collapsed, can you imagine?
- It's true, Jan. - What do you say?
This is my room.
It's another one that looks like it.
I wanted you to wake up with your things.
where are we?
- At our uncle's house. - In Malpertuis?
Yes, I had nowhere to go.
You know Cassave. He is a bad guy.
Our father hated him. We can't stay.
And where do you want to go?
- I don't know, but not here. - Also...
- There is another reason why I stay. - It is dangerous.
I'm in love.
Ah...
Come on, little brother, won't you be jealous of your sister?
Elodie, you too? In Malpert?
I wasn't going to let Nancy come alone in this hellish house.
Now that he has woken up, everything will change.
I know someone who is going to die.
Elodie!
Where the hell are you? I'm dying...
That is. The one who is going to die.
The one who is calling.
I'm going I'm going.
Quick! Bring him something to eat!
Quick, he's hungry again!
Again again...
So close to death, and all he thinks about is food.
It won't last long, now that Yann has arrived.
Poor man...
The lights!
The lights!
Don't turn off the lights!
No...! No...!
Oh...!
Poor Lampernisse.
It's terrible.
Beg the lights...
What's wrong with you now? Come to work.
Ah...
Come on, quick! Hurry!
Ya va, ya va...
wait, wait...
I have finished the rat.
Oh, I know him, I know he's dying to see her...
No, no, Philarte.
Let him eat first.
All the pleasures at once, no.
Elodie! Where are you?
I'm hungry! Elodie!
I almost died!
At last...
- And Yann? -He is getting dressed.
Good, come out.
You have to give us money. There's nothing left.
thief
Wait at least he's dead.
Come out.
Idiot!
What is your wife doing here?
Your daughter, where is she?
Where is Euryale from?
He didn't want to come. She is a difficult girl.
He'll come, Dideloo, don't worry.
- It's done. - Sure, silly. As if she didn't know.
- You could try being nice. - For.
We would do anything for Uncle Cassave.
You just have to send. He is so noble, generous, good.
Come on, I know you hate me. All of you.
Oh no... Excuse me,
there is one who does not hate me.
Come in, Philarte, let's go.
- Magnificent. - Yes.
Yes, very good.
A true work of art.
You are a great unknown artist, like all great artists.
Oh, don't cry, Philarte.
I am not worthy of it.
- D nde est Yann? - Est aqu .
- Here? - Yes.
- Yann? - Yes.
So how can I die?
Don't worry. I won't go far.
It is a matter of days. Then you can go.
One more minute, it's already too much.
- You should come too. - No, I must stay.
Why do you want it. You are a slave, and I am free.
But we will be rich. he will die. Then we'll leave.
I don't want your money. I want to go back to the sea.
The sea, of course.
That is your destiny.
Forget the old man upstairs. His eyes will close very soon.
He's been waiting his whole life for you to come home.
But don't worry about it.
Go Go. Leave your family, your friends.
Leave Elodie, your faithful governess, who adores you.
Leave me, your Uncle Charles,
I remember you from when you were that little.
And of course, abandon that girl,
innocent and pure,
your sister Nancy, your father's daughter.
What does it matter if she is the object of men's desire and lust?
With willing hands,
of possessing her virginal body to rape it.
Do not touch me.
Get away from her!
I'm going to see Cassave and tell him what's going on here.
Then I'll take you with me.
So, you're not leaving anymore?
Okay. Let's go up together.
Come here, let me look at you.
you will serve.
Yes, you will have to serve.
I think I've already chosen.
You will finish my work.
Do not ask me why I have chosen you.
You are here, that is what matters.
Now I can die.
I was waiting for you.
And you, are you happy that your little brother has returned?
and then?
Very happy.
Isn't it noticeable?
Griboin complains that there is no money for food. Is it true?
Yes.
Go look at the color store.
Nothing is ever sold.
No matter. Come closer.
listen to me well
five?
There you will find the money.
- Where are you going? - To the color store.
I stripped myself of my colors. He wants to see me die in the dark.
- Poor Lampernisse. - Yes, poor Lampernisse.
But you haven't tried the food.
- Eat something. - No, I would turn off the lights...
You want to turn them all off. But this one, I won't touch it.
I will defend her.
I will save the light.
My own light.
Mathias...
my angel.
- I almost forgot your face. - Now I will refresh your memory.
Again, so that I don't forget you either.
- You are inspired today. - Yes, my brother has arrived.
I know.
When Cassave is dead, you will be gone.
How sad, right? You will also come with us.
I couldn't live without you.
And if I can't? What if I have to stay here?
Do not be silly. We will go.
We just need a little love and a lot of money.
We'll have him as soon as he dies.
That's it... Now I remember, yes.
One Two Three Four Five...
Look, there's one more.
This will be for us.
For you and for me.
my love
Freedom.
What's the matter, boy?
I have to go.
what?
Have you not understood what I have told you?
You must stay at Malpertuis.
Stay and take my place.
In Malpertuis, you will be the master.
The master of a whole world.
Of a universe.
Master of your destiny.
you are crazy You know nothing of my fate
I know things.
And no one knows that I know them.
I am more powerful than destiny.
You do not know what you say.
There is nothing holding me here. Bye, uncle.
You are nothing more than a poor blind man.
Tomorrow, you will beg me to let you stay.
Maybe tonight, who knows?
Or even in a moment.
She is going to arrive.
You are here.
Very well.
Me Ilamus Euryale.
Shades...
Around me, I only see shadows.
Dime,
beautifull...
- Tell me, have they all arrived? - Yes.
Good.
Y Eisengott...
- Has he come? - Yes.
- Where is he? - I'm here.
Conf o en ti, Eisengott.
I totally trust you regarding my will.
That each point, each detail, each clause
be scrupulously respected.
Yann...
Yann!
You will end...
my great work
Do you understand?
Father Doucedame will tell you what it is about.
I will explain everything. Where is he?
In the church praying for you.
Since you have rejected the last rites.
And the sisters...
Are the inseparable Cormelon sisters here?
Dear vultures...
El onore, of course you are here. Where else?
Rosalie...
Alice...
That you pretend to be so simple.
We've known each other for a long time, right?
And Philarte?
Ah. In a corner
You have a right to be here.
Even if he is the most imbecile of imbeciles.
We've shared secrets, haven't we, comrade?
Yes.
And Mathias Krook.
With you here, I couldn't walk far...
Don't be afraid Mathias.
You will continue without selling anything in that colorful store.
You will be able to keep the money.
- The Griboins, are they here? - Yeah, man.
My faithful servants.
Clumsy, stupid, inept.
Yes...
Come on, now, go ahead.
Dear Uncle Cassave, I am here too.
We are here.
Sylvia...
Ah, I seem to see you like a few years ago.
You weren't bad when Charles took you out of the brothel.
Dear Uncle Cassave, let's not talk about it, please.
What do I hear? The hiss of the serpent?
What do I see? The tears of the crocodile?
And this smell? Is it the one with the jackal?
Sit down, idiot.
You'll drool later.
Euryale, my flower of fire, come.
Sit next to Yann.
Eisengott, adelante,
read my will to my heirs, since they are all here.
First, tell them
How much money am I going to leave you?
"Yo,
Quentin Cassave, in full possession of my faculties
I declare that this is my last wish..."
He wants to put out the last light...
Ah...
Oh...!
My last light...
He's going to turn it off...
"... million, 568497 guilders
and 44 cents. "
dear
and very beloved heirs...
It surprises you, does it?
You would never have thought of such a colossal fortune.
Charles, now I know you can retire.
Of course Didelo.
As for the others,
you will also change your way of life.
Pero, contin a, Eisengott.
"Each heir will receive annually
a sum equal in proportion to the total inheritance.
However, in order not to forfeit my inheritance,
all must n live in Malpertuis. "
Live here?
"They will promise not to leave the house.
They will never be able to leave the house and will stay here until their death. "
Do you realize?
Silence. There is another clause.
"In Malpertuis, nothing should be changed under any pretext.
The last survivors will inherit all that remains of the fortune.
If the last two survivors are male and female,
they should get married.
They will be the owners of Malpertuis and all their belongings. "
That is... That is my will.
And it will be strictly complied with.
Now go.
I don't want melodramas.
I don't want goodbyes or destroy the will.
My death is my business.
I don't want any of you around, looking at me.
Euryale, Yann, quedaos.
Both of you...
You are the sweet hope...
that I take with me from this world.
Malpertuis be the cradle
of a new world.
But the law...
Euryale...
Remember the law.
look at me
Open your eyes, daughter of the gods.
Look in mine.
Help me to die.
My heart n in Malpertuis.
Stone among the stones.
The light...
The light...
back. back.
leave me alone
I am the one who must put everything in order.
Don't look back. Don't talk, listen.
When they all die, we'll get married.
The day is sad...
The day is sad and full of chimeras.
you?
Nancy, would you like a cup of tea?
- Thank you. - ¿Joséphine?
Love, love always answers...
Love, always love.
Ah, beautiful dream...
Ah, beautiful dream...
Love always leaves.
Ah, beautiful dream...
Love always leaves.
Beautiful dream, love...
Our dreams are similar...
It's not cold yet, and they're already playing music.
I have never hurt you.
Before you were so kind.
The children adored you.
It is because they have been locked up here, of course.
Like me, like all of us.
That has driven you crazy.
But please.
I beg you,
do not touch my lights with your little hands.
You already know what will happen to me when everything is in the dark.
he watches me.
Sometimes I hear the noise of their wings.
waits for me
Yann!
Yann! Yann!
What kind of garden is this?
No wind. And no flowers.
Not even the song of a bird.
These are the lands of Malpertuis.
We are still in Cassave's domain.
Come.
Come.
- Where are we? -Before, she was an abbey.
Of Mendicants.
- Mendicants? - Yes.
When I was little, Elodie used to tell me:
"Be good, or the Mendicants will take you away."
What does Malpertuis mean?
Malpertuis means "the wrong step."
In Flemish legends, it was the den of the fox.
Of course, it is the devil.
Look, a boat.
The Ananke was a schooner, and Cassave her captain.
Unfortunately, it is not all that remains of his last trip.
- Unfortunately. - What else is left?
The rest is hidden in Malpertuis.
- What is so much mystery? - I won't say anything. Don't force me
You better keep your innocence while you can.
My innocence...
If there are secrets, don't hide them from me.
I'm fed up, father.
I do not need you.
I'm too old to find the secrets alone.
I can't stop you, Yann.
But be careful.
Be careful, Malpertuis holds many mysteries
behind doors hidden behind other doors,
in the deepest of corridors,
At the end,
what do you expect to find?
Do you admire my little creatures?
They are cute, right?
They could have been real little soldiers.
But, something has gone wrong.
Cassave made them.
Did you make this?
I mean he created them.
His power had no limits.
I knew so many people, and so many places.
He had lived so many years...
Your uncle and Cagliostro had worked together.
- They made these little creatures. - What?
Cagliostro died a hundred years ago.
Yes, and you don't believe me, do you?
- Cassave was not born. Impossible. - How impossible?
Cassave, he was a genius.
Yes, he was a creator.
He wanted to change the world. I worked for him.
But he was not easy to please.
He was such a perfectionist.
When he was not satisfied, he spoiled everything.
I couldn't bear to see how he threw it all...
So, in the trash.
He always told me: "Throw it away, it's another failure."
And, without telling him anything, he saved what was not such a failure.
And I preserved it in formaldehyde.
What was he looking for?
He often spoke of a super human race,
a new golden age.
Finally, unusual things.
I am a simple man.
I only know my profession, and I don't know about the other.
One day, he left everything, he was no longer passionate.
- Why? - He said he had another idea...
Plus, how would I put it...? advantageous.
A discovery with results that surpass the imagination.
But I have talked too much.
Yann, can you do me a favor?
Take an animal for me in the garden.
Qu animal vivir a ah ?
Right, this is annoying.
I would if I could get out, but the will forbids me.
I must admit that, with nothing to dissect,
life seems very sad to me.
I am an artist. I always have to create.
Do you understand? Look, it's a mousetrap.
I have made it.
Can you place it for me? You know the house well.
Not at all.
No? How curious.
You could put it in the attic.
You never know what you can find.
- There are only rats and mice. - Yann...
The poor can't choose...
The poor cannot choose.
Yann, you have the bones...
Very long bones...
I guess you have a nice skeleton.
A skin so easy to stretch...
some eyes,
I have a box full of eyes...
A box of eyes, but not like yours.
Oh no... It would be my pleasure...
No! Here, he tries to catch a mouse.
I will make a work of art.
Ah, beautiful dream...
Do you know what I just saw?
Silence.
Ah, beautiful dream...
How sweet it is to always be dreaming.
The day is sad...
I'm glad to find you, Yann.
You haven't been seen much lately.
It is never. What is the matter with you, my son?
Oh yes, I know what it is. at your age,
Anyone would die for love.
- Who says I love? - It is easy to fall in love with Euryale.
- But it's useless. - What do you mean?
Does she love you? She barely looks at you.
He never talks to you.
I would say that he tries to avoid you, that he tries to hurt you.
And he succeeds, because you suffer, right?
What a pity. There are so many ways to forget.
Do you like the scent of sandalwood?
You...
the keys of Malpertuis.
- The Griboin gave them to me. - Tell him one is missing.
One day, I hope you find it.
Would you like to kiss me?
I like you, Jan.
T tambi n a m .
I love you I love you...
- Do you love me? - Yes, I love you.
- Come on, you love Nancy. - Me? Nancy?
Yes. You are crazy about her.
You would do anything to get it.
Anything.
But she is in love with another.
Naturally, you disgust him.
As soon as you see a skirt, your hands don't respond.
But I'm the only one you can make love to.
why? If you don't love me
But look at you. you are not young
Not handsome, not smart.
You are a gift nothing.
A gift nothing with which you make love.
I don't have much choice. Griboin, Philor te, Lampernisse...
Little Yann.
Yann...
Yann...
No, you are the lesser evil, my poor Dideloo.
Since you only want one thing from me, I'll give it to you.
One knocks before entering.
There is nothing to laugh about.
Poor Dideloo, go before it's too late.
It will be possible...
I love you, my angel.
How good it is. Take me back with you.
Let's go higher. Always higher.
Make me melt the sun.
Sun...
Nancy, I can't fly anymore.
Why, my angel?
- My wings have been clipped. - Your wings?
Poor fallen angel.
Do you think we can march from Malpertuis?
Is that what worries you?
Tomorrow, we will have our money.
And we will go away from here.
Now, little angel, spread your wings.
The night sings...
Come on, give me
What good is so much money?
They clothe us and feed us for free, but we must stay here.
Don't worry. We will leave the money to the notary
to invest it and increase the capital with interest.
- When everyone dies but me... - Us.
And me, what?
Oh, sue o...
dream...
I have good news.
Mathias and I renounced the inheritance.
- We leave tomorrow. - Nancy...
- You can not go away. - Yes, we have made the decision.
Nobody can stop us.
Any.
Tonight we have duck blood for dinner.
Mathias?
Mathias?
Where are you?
Where are you hiding?
But where are you?
Help!
Mathias is dead!
Mathias is dead!
Ah, beautiful dream...
Nancy...
What will it be if you? Where will you go?
I don't know. But what difference does it make?
stay.
Mathias was the only one keeping me here.
and me?
Me...
Yann...
Run away from this house. Come with me.
I do not can.
So forget me.
What do you want from me?
me? I want to help you.
You are so sad.
Nancy is gone.
Euryale breaks your heart.
Tell me everything.
Are you mad at me?
Do you think Dideloo and I...? What nonsense.
What are you trying to run from?
Let me help you.
I don't think you can do it alone.
Remember that you are missing the key to the door of the zodiac.
I have it.
But beware.
It should only open at midnight.
Alice?
Alice!
Silence. Don't make noise, don't yell.
Nobody must know.
The trap in the attic... Did you set it?
Let me go with you.
There is no courage to go alone.
you know? They have turned off the lights.
They have turned them off!
Will he be able to forgive me? yes?
Will he be able to forget me?
In Malpertuis, there is only forgetting and remembering.
Each one is worse than the other. I will have to kill them.
- I don't understand anything. - Sure, you still don't know anything.
listen!
He's deliberating.
No! Don't open!
They will invade the whole house! There will be eternal darkness!
Oh no! Don't open that door!
Forget everything that torments you.
I am a woman, I am yours,
the rest is not important.
Listen, footsteps are heard.
I choose
Alecto?
Don't pronounce that name. I forbid it.
I forbid you!
Euryale...
What are you doing here?
You come to tell me that you love me, that you dare to love me?
What little shame.
Leave away. leave me alone Someone is waiting for you.
Do not touch me. And this smell of sandal, how horrible.
Want to see you. Where and when?
I don't feel like it, Dideloo.
I don't care whether you like it or not
you will do what I tell you.
I choose
Very well. After all, you are irresistible.
Tonight in the library?
We would not be calm.
I would like a more intimate place.
How delicate.
But we can't get out of Malpertuis.
Tonight is carnival, the night of the masks.
No one will recognize us.
Come to Calle de la Espada, number 7.
At midnight, an old woman will open it for you.
Give him three gold coins.
so much?
Yes, but it will be worth it. I promise.
Didn't you like me?
You're wrong. You can't trust appearances.
Come with me. She doesn't know anything, leave her.
I have experience and talent.
Don't listen to them, honey.
They are not what you need. I am the one you are looking for.
Thank you sir.
Psst... This way.
Come on in, darling.
Oh!
Do you know you can't come here?
It is forbidden to abandon Malpertuis.
There your destiny must be fulfilled.
Oh...!
Give me back my lights...
The light...
Give me back my lights...
Her husband has died. Look how happy she is.
One less to share.
You will have to redo your accounts.
Because I'm leaving.
Goodbye... mother.
Yann.
I choose
- My name is Alice. - You are Alecto.
- Captive of Cassave's spell. - Remember who you were.
He has reduced us to slavery, to his law.
Remember who you were.
Alecto, before you knew how to treat the man who looked at you.
- Don't forget who you've been. - Don't forget your past!
Do not go.
- I must do it. - You told me that we would get married.
I want to be a woman!
Yann... close your eyes.
I want to be a woman again! Woman!
A woman!
Euryale!
Euryale!
Yann?
- Quick, you must leave. - What's going on?
You must go before it's too late.
It's useless, father. No one escapes Malpertuis.
Yes, Yann, please, it's your last chance.
Do you think you will forget what happened?
Outside of Malpertuis, the mysteries don't matter.
Forgive me, Yann, I have waited a long time.
I was afraid to tell you.
Quick!
- Do you think you can escape from here? - Sure!
No, I can't leave without Euryale.
Forget her. You can't leave Malpertuis.
None of them can!
- Well, I'm staying too. - They are out of control.
They will destroy you. They're coming for you.
- For what. - Well!
- Look. - Nope...
What's wrong with them?
They are here, because you believe in them!
But the day that no one believes in them, they will disappear!
OMG! They have seen us.
- Go away, I will try to stop them. - Can not do nothing.
Leave away. Run, Jan.
Oh!
The light...
The light, Yan...
The light...
Help...
Help...
Help...
The light.
The light.
What has happened? Who has done that to you?
he...
- He... - But who, him?
- Promise... - I promise.
- Promise... - I promise, speak up.
It is coming.
Go away, quickly!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Do not be afraid. Do not be afraid.
I will try not to make you suffer too much.
It's been so long since I had such a worthy specimen.
It's been so long since I dissected anything.
When I think about what I did working for Cassave.
Of est .
Wait. Like this, around the neck.
No, don't move.
Let's see...
You have never understood me.
You never brought me anything interesting for my work.
You even lost my trap in the attic.
naughty boy. Mischievous.
Then, the little one asks me for his hand, love.
Can you imagine? Those household geniuses,
They have taken a lot of confidence.
Let's see...
They have taken a lot of confidence.
Let's see, and my scalpel?
My scalpel... It must be around here.
Ah, aqu est .
I think Cassave
I should have left them on their island to die there.
Of.
And now, let's get to work!
Thank you love, Yann, you will be immortal.
Come on, don't move, don't move.
I'll let you know.
I won't hurt you.
No. Don't look at me.
Above all, don't look at me.
Why have you come back?
Answers.
Because I love you.
So, it's time to reveal the secrets of Malpertuis to you.
follow me.
Look down, Yann.
You have seen the eagle devour Prometheus.
Prometheus?
Yes. Lampernisse is Prometheus.
He stole fire from heaven.
He was a God.
God, like all of us.
The last gods of Greece.
Cassave planned that one day you would fall in love with me.
That, from us, would arise a race of demigods dominating the world.
But I love you too. And I hadn't anticipated it.
Come, you will know everything.
Cassave captured us on an island in the Aegean Sea.
They had almost forgotten us.
We wished that men would forget us so that we could die.
Cassave brought us here. To us, the gods,
in the holds of his ship, like animals.
Like some animals.
It amused him that Philarte sewed us under human skins.
Look. Apollo, Venus, Bacchus,
the three furies,
Hecate, and Hermes.
Wouldn't it have been better to let us die on our island?
But who are you?
I am the only one to whom Cassave did not change anything.
The others died because everyone has forgotten them.
Euryale is immortal.
It's the Gorgon.
Men always think of her.
She is love and death.
Yann, you force me to be your destiny.
The fruit of wisdom is bitter.
my love
Yes. We are arriving. We await your orders.
Thank you Marianne.
This is the diary he wrote while he was here.
- Do you want to keep it? - No, doctor. I'm done with that.
I recognize that you have a lot of imagination.
Kidnapping the last gods while they awaited their death,
and force them to live a human life, of a bourgeois type,
it is strange for a computer expert.
In your crisis, your subconscious has used memories from your childhood.
It happens often.
The woman of...
Good.
Well, all that remains is to say goodbye to you.
His wife has come looking for him.
- Goodbye. - Goodbye, and thank you, doctor.
Julien...
Sophie.
- How are you, my love? - I'm completely healed.
