00:00:30 SÉRAPHlN: HEART OF STONE
00:00:46 (moaning and groaning)
00:01:00 (grunting)
00:01:34 (no sound)
00:01:39 - Your lad's a frisky one!
00:01:41 (laughing)
00:01:44 Here.
00:04:05 (Donalda): lt was the last
00:04:08 Eleven years to the day
00:04:13 Dad's store
00:04:17 Times were hard
00:04:20 Pleasures were rare.
00:04:22 At least there were
00:04:25 l didn't know you yet.
00:04:28 l mean, we'd met, of course,
00:04:33 - lf you're itching to marry,
00:04:36 He's always hanging around you.
00:04:38 - And have crippled children?
00:04:41 - He'll father kids
00:04:43 - Why don't you ask him then,
00:04:46 - l'd have to love him.
00:04:48 - Six kids is my limit!
00:04:50 - How many do you want, Simone?
00:04:53 - l don't want kids.
00:04:55 - Simone!
00:04:57 Know what Frenchmen
00:04:59 They call it lndian grain!
00:05:06 (cocks crowing)
00:05:15 - Yourtwo Jersey heifers,
00:05:18 if you pay me the $50 within
00:05:22 - You can't mean it,
00:05:24 l depend on them for my butter.
00:05:26 What'll my missus say?
00:05:29 - There are worse things
00:05:34 Sometimes you have to hide them
00:05:36 Don't you agree, Mr. Lemont?
00:05:46 We'll work it out...
00:05:48 You had a good winter
00:05:51 You must have some fine fox
00:05:55 - Yes, but...
00:05:56 - l need guarantees.
00:06:00 l'm not the People's Bank.
00:06:14 Hurry, Mom, we'll be late!
00:06:16 - You're not even dressed!
00:06:18 - Will old man Putt-Putt be there?
00:06:21 - Don't mock your elders.
00:06:26 What are you doing?
00:06:32 l'll repay it all.
00:06:34 - How, my poor Bidou?
00:06:38 - Sure, get mad
00:06:41 l can clear out, if you want!
00:06:50 Careful, Alexis!
00:06:55 - Go on!
00:06:56 Show him your smithie's fire!
00:06:59 The ladies in St-Jérôme
00:07:06 - That's it, Alexis!
00:07:12 Joe! Joe! Joe...
00:07:26 lt's not fair!
00:07:28 showing her petticoats!
00:07:35 - You beat him!
00:07:38 - Hold it right there.
00:07:42 l emptied the till
00:07:46 l'm done for,
00:07:47 and it's all your fault again!
00:07:49 - You've some nerve,
00:07:51 You changed your bet.
00:07:53 - Devil take you!
00:07:56 - Time forthe fair!
00:07:58 - Not Curé Labelle's
00:08:01 - We can't leave now.
00:08:04 - You dreamer!
00:08:07 To think you could be practising
00:08:11 (fiddle music)
00:08:16 Hello, Mr. Mayor.
00:08:18 Mr. Laloge.
00:08:20 Flaunting their Sunday best!
00:08:26 - Spunky, our schoolmarm.
00:08:28 - Awidow all these years...
00:08:30 ln her shoes, we'd do the same.
00:08:36 - l find stout women
00:08:40 Such abundance.
00:08:43 and welcoming. Don't you find?
00:08:46 Those ladies must cost a lot
00:08:57 About your building permit,
00:09:01 - Thank you, Mr. Mayor.
00:09:02 - Why, Father!
00:09:06 Your arrival here
00:09:14 Your predecessorwas a holy man,
00:09:20 l heard say he stewed in holy water
00:09:24 - Holy water?
00:09:47 -Ahhh!
00:09:55 - You must be careful, Alexis.
00:09:58 Such charm could make me think
00:10:21 You were eight.
00:10:24 - l said,
00:10:27 - Do you remember
00:10:33 ''One day, you'll see.
00:10:35 l'll catch you!''
00:11:11 - That wasn't
00:11:15 - There've been 1000 others.
00:11:17 l've practised in my head.
00:11:35 (bird singing)
00:11:37 (Donalda): l led you
00:11:41 l'd gone there often,
00:11:44 the light and the forest scents.
00:11:49 Despite my apparent assurance,
00:11:51 l was afraid
00:11:54 Since it would've been a sin,
00:11:57 and l don't know
00:12:11 - l'll pay by the 30th,
00:12:13 - Don't forget the $8
00:12:17 l have to pay my bills too.
00:12:20 l knew you'd oblige,
00:12:24 - Here you go.
00:12:27 - Tarnation,
00:12:30 - lt's from the States.
00:12:34 You sign here.
00:12:39 - My hand's not soft,
00:12:45 l'm always hard at work.
00:12:48 - You know, Séraphin,
00:12:51 Quebec's worried
00:12:54 Even here in Ste-Adèle.
00:12:56 lf they catch wind
00:12:59 l hearthey even
00:13:03 lt's causing a lot of talk.
00:13:05 - Don't you worry, F.X.
00:13:07 The more people talk,
00:13:28 That's no way to greet me.
00:13:31 Where'd you hide
00:13:40 Who could have lodged
00:13:45 - They don't say, of course.
00:13:49 Quebec wants the Council
00:13:55 - lt's too bad you won't be
00:14:00 - Why won't l?
00:14:04 - A man can't always do
00:14:09 - As clerk, l have to table
00:14:11 - We have to buy time, Polydor.
00:14:13 That's politics.
00:14:15 - l can't cheat the people!
00:14:17 - Dogsmeat! You're helping
00:14:33 - Faster, she's coming!
00:14:37 - No, it always comes down
00:14:41 Still, they enjoyed it.
00:14:43 - And sincere repentance?
00:14:44 - Oh, l am repentant.
00:14:48 But it's not easy for a woman
00:14:52 And.. the Good Lord
00:14:58 lusty-like.
00:15:00 l can't help it,
00:15:05 (Latin)
00:15:21 - What's wrong, Simone?
00:15:23 l don't want to talk.
00:15:25 - lt seems to be serious,
00:15:37 You haven't been knocked up?
00:15:45 - l don't know what to do.
00:15:50 The notary's bound
00:15:53 He'll send me away.
00:15:58 - Me...
00:16:00 lf you wanted...
00:16:03 l could maybe
00:16:07 lf you'd have me.
00:16:14 That way...
00:16:17 nobody would suspect.
00:16:19 And you wouldn't have to work
00:16:23 - No, you don't see.
00:16:26 l don't want this baby.
00:16:31 l don't want it!
00:16:33 - Don't say that, Simone.
00:16:37 Don't say that.
00:16:44 - A goddamn complaint.
00:16:46 Someone from here
00:16:48 must have sent it to Quebec.
00:16:54 - ln Quebec City,
00:16:58 goes straight to their head.
00:17:01 - Hey, Ovide, over here!
00:17:03 - l'd pay you back if l could.
00:17:06 But l'm out my best fox pelts
00:17:09 To think l voted for him!
00:17:11 - l'm worried
00:17:13 Maybe l could
00:17:15 convince the notary
00:17:17 not to table the complaint
00:17:20 - The Lord would show his thanks,
00:17:24 - Not just yet, l hope.
00:17:27 - ln the meantime,
00:17:29 maybe we could
00:17:30 give you something,
00:17:35 - No.
00:17:39 - When l was a girl,
00:17:41 l'd watch shadows
00:17:44 l was terrified
00:17:48 l'd hide so he wouldn't find me.
00:17:53 But l couldn't help looking.
00:17:55 - Grrr!
00:18:00 - You don't scare me!
00:18:06 - l love you, Donalda.
00:18:29 - Do you remember asking...
00:18:31 if two people, a couple,
00:18:35 - Have you found an answer?
00:18:38 - We wouldn't be two for long.
00:18:43 But l need to know
00:18:48 - lt's easy to have children.
00:18:51 - Don't you want any?
00:18:53 - Sure.
00:18:56 What's hard
00:18:59 And breaking our backs
00:19:02 - So for you Alexis,
00:19:07 - l want it to be with you,
00:19:11 but it won't be here
00:19:14 Look.
00:19:18 We live in a land of riches.
00:19:21 lt's our vision that's poor.
00:19:23 - What do you mean?
00:19:25 - Farms alone
00:19:30 On the way to the logging camps,
00:19:34 fast-running water everywhere.
00:19:38 Wide-open spaces.
00:19:40 - You'll be gone a long time?
00:19:43 l'm not very patient.
00:19:45 But l'll be glad to wait.
00:19:47 - l'll come back soon,
00:20:02 Thanks.
00:20:59 - l'm at the end of my rope,
00:21:02 Each day is a struggle.
00:21:05 - l know you're in a tight spot
00:21:17 (train whistle blowing)
00:21:21 - l see, a moral guarantee.
00:21:24 A laudable gesture, Father.
00:21:26 But insufficient for our bank,
00:21:28 in the circumstances.
00:21:30 The debt is not
00:21:32 you agree?
00:21:34 - All the more reason to act.
00:21:37 No one benefits
00:21:38 from driving an honest man
00:21:45 - There may be anotherway.
00:21:50 Give me a few days.
00:21:53 - Thank you, Mr. Destreilles.
00:21:57 - Father...
00:22:20 That's that.
00:22:28 - Didn't you say
00:22:31 - lt's true, l did promise you.
00:22:37 But...
00:22:38 with an empty belly,
00:22:42 when it growls too loud...
00:22:44 the letters get fuzzy.
00:22:46 - Oh, yeah?
00:22:47 - Yeah, l can't see right.
00:22:55 - Here...
00:22:56 l'll be gone some time.
00:22:58 Make sure it lasts.
00:23:16 - Uh... looking forthis?
00:23:21 - You magpie!
00:23:22 Get your dirty paws...
00:23:25 - Must be more serious
00:23:31 Oh!
00:23:33 (child coughing)
00:23:34 - $700.
00:23:38 ln lovely Dominion bank notes.
00:23:41 l scraped it together, Brochu,
00:23:47 l'm the compassionate sort, see?
00:23:51 lt's strongerthan me.
00:23:55 And as town mayor,
00:23:58 it's my duty
00:24:03 lsn't it, boy?
00:24:05 - So we can live here
00:24:06 and farm fortwo years?
00:24:09 ls that what's written?
00:24:14 - Word forword.
00:24:15 (coughing)
00:24:17 Afterthat, of course,
00:24:20 you'll have to leave.
00:24:22 (coughing)
00:24:29 - Where do l sign?
00:24:52 (church bells ringing)
00:24:57 (screaming)
00:24:59 - l tried to do it myself,
00:25:02 with a knitting needle.
00:25:05 l know it wasn't right.
00:25:07 (crying)
00:25:09 You have to help me, Doctor!
00:25:11 - Simone,
00:25:14 - l'm splitting apart!
00:25:20 l don't want to die!
00:25:22 l don't want to go to hell!
00:25:24 l don't want to burn in hell!
00:25:52 (Donalda): That morning, Simone,
00:25:57 Few shed a tear for her,
00:26:02 lt made me so miserable.
00:26:06 The doctor did his best
00:26:09 You were right,
00:26:15 - Will Simone go to heaven?
00:26:20 - All orphans go to heaven.
00:26:24 (Donalda): Alexis,
00:26:26 my beloved secret.
00:26:28 l didn't expect to see you
00:26:31 l worry the coffin passing
00:26:35 with you leaving forthe camp.
00:26:38 Life can be so cruel.
00:26:45 My love,
00:26:48 yet already you were gone,
00:26:50 lost to the dark winter.
00:26:53 A shiver ran down my spine.
00:26:57 - Must feel strange,
00:27:01 at age 15.
00:27:17 (Donalda): All the leaves
00:27:20 The land awaits the snow.
00:27:22 At five o'clock,
00:27:24 l think of Simone
00:27:28 and l grow so angry.
00:27:30 l worry about Dad.
00:27:32 Business hasn't picked up,
00:27:35 and still no word
00:27:38 l await the right time
00:27:48 (Alexis): Your hair
00:27:50 like gold dust,
00:27:51 or sunbeams darting
00:27:54 My beauty,
00:27:56 spring is so far off.
00:27:59 Soon no mail will get through.
00:28:03 l won't be able to write.
00:28:05 But l can talk to you.
00:28:10 l like to wander
00:28:13 The land is freezing over.
00:28:16 lt's full of silence.
00:28:19 The rivers
00:28:21 (birds chirping)
00:28:27 - The railroad!
00:28:29 We'll be so modern!
00:28:31 - Curé Labelle says in 10 years
00:28:35 The north country will be
00:28:40 - Where'd you get hold of this,
00:28:44 - Like our land agent,
00:28:48 l went to Montreal,
00:28:51 l'm not English or an engineer,
00:28:54 but the railroad
00:28:59 - lt's not the first plan
00:29:02 Don't let folks see it.
00:29:07 - And the unscrupulous
00:29:11 - You'd best tend
00:29:14 - Mine don't end up in graves!
00:29:16 - Gentlemen, please.
00:29:18 Save your quarrels.
00:29:19 - F.X. is right.
00:29:21 We still have
00:29:23 to discuss Quebec's complaint.
00:29:25 - Forget about it,
00:29:32 - Giddyap!
00:29:35 Whoa!
00:29:36 - Your pa worries me.
00:29:39 l see the bills he gets.
00:29:41 l feel like a burden.
00:29:46 - l worry how he'll manage
00:29:51 Alexis and me, it's serious.
00:29:54 We write.
00:29:55 - Are you sure you two behaved?
00:30:01 - Why, if it isn't
00:30:10 - She denounced the inn.
00:30:13 l saw the letter.
00:30:16 The notary would have a stroke!
00:30:20 My, my.
00:30:22 - Can you mind the store
00:30:25 a while?
00:30:38 - $700 isn't robbery.
00:30:40 That plan is hot air.
00:30:42 l gave you cash.
00:30:46 - l helped you out,
00:30:49 And this is my thanks?
00:30:51 - lt's worth 10 times more!
00:30:55 lf my lad wasn't here...
00:30:59 - Are you threatening the mayor?
00:31:04 Think it over, Brochu.
00:31:07 - The mayor
00:31:14 Tell him he can't take it
00:31:20 Stay away!
00:31:21 He's the devil incarnate!
00:31:31 - l extended too much credit.
00:31:34 My customers do their best.
00:31:37 l can't cut them off.
00:31:40 - Having a good heart...
00:31:43 Not everyone's like that.
00:31:48 - That bank manager
00:31:51 l don't understand,
00:31:52 we were on good terms...
00:31:56 Maybe...
00:31:59 Maybe you, Séraphin,
00:32:01 with your influence, maybe...
00:32:04 maybe you could...
00:32:12 - Y'know, in my experience...
00:32:17 you can't trust them folk
00:32:20 who have pinched lips...
00:32:26 But y'know, F.X...
00:32:28 maybe l could help you out.
00:32:32 l'd sure hate to see you
00:32:38 Your Donalda,
00:32:39 do yourtroubles
00:32:44 - She's strong,
00:32:48 l do my best to spare her.
00:32:50 - Such a beautiful young thing.
00:32:53 You won't always be there
00:32:55 What she needs
00:32:57 is a good match.
00:33:05 A real good match.
00:33:22 (clock chiming)
00:33:46 - Whoa!
00:33:53 You know we have big worries.
00:33:57 There's no end in sight.
00:34:00 So l spoke to the mayor,
00:34:05 He's agreed to help us.
00:34:07 - With his money?
00:34:11 lf l give him your hand.
00:34:13 - Séraphin Poudrier?
00:34:16 He's much too old.
00:34:18 - Hold on. Wait.
00:34:20 People badmouth him,
00:34:22 but he's respectable,
00:34:25 - No, you don't understand.
00:34:27 lt's not that.
00:34:33 You see, he wrote me.
00:34:37 - l wanted to tell you.
00:34:40 You know him.
00:34:49 lt's Alexis.
00:34:52 - Alexis Labranche?
00:34:54 A dreamer, a good-for-nothing!
00:34:56 You're not serious!
00:34:59 - Don't say that,
00:35:02 He's changed.
00:35:03 - lt's my little girl
00:35:12 - Will you force me?
00:35:23 - l want this hardship
00:35:28 - The hardship to end?
00:35:32 lsn't that hardship,
00:35:35 marrying without love?
00:35:48 - Forgive me, my poor Donalda.
00:35:51 l wanted us to stay on here.
00:35:56 Forget what l said.
00:36:01 We'll find a way.
00:36:17 - He needs help.
00:36:20 Open your eyes, Bidou.
00:36:23 They'll seize the store!
00:36:25 - Bankers just like
00:36:29 - Don't you realize?
00:36:33 After all the money you lost...
00:36:40 - lf you must know...
00:36:45 your fine Alexis
00:36:48 - Stop hiding behind others,
00:36:52 - Speaking of Alexis,
00:36:54 didn't you everwonder
00:37:03 - Coward.
00:37:06 You're just a coward!
00:37:08 lf you think l believe you...
00:37:18 - l can't understand
00:37:23 The worst is,
00:37:27 - At what price?
00:37:30 - l'd have to marry him.
00:37:34 Father says it's up to me.
00:37:39 Every night l pray
00:37:43 But he hasn't replied.
00:37:48 lf ever it comes about...
00:37:54 The other day at the store,
00:37:56 when he touched my hand...
00:38:01 l can't imagine him beside me.
00:38:05 - Some choices tear us apart.
00:38:08 But in the end, Donalda,
00:38:11 you have to follow
00:38:18 - What if my conscience
00:39:01 - Ah!
00:39:05 - Ah!!
00:39:29 - Ah...!
00:40:04 Don't look at me like that.
00:40:09 l even messed that up.
00:40:15 Do you see? l just wanted...
00:40:17 - Stop torturing yourself.
00:40:33 - l don't deserve a daughter
00:40:47 HERE LlES
00:40:56 - Mama!
00:41:16 Mama...
00:41:43 - The mayor's unfit to marry
00:41:48 - Really?
00:41:50 Why is that?
00:41:53 - My poor Simone...
00:41:55 She tried to induce a miscarriage.
00:42:02 - You think Séraphin
00:42:07 - She told me so.
00:42:11 - l took her in
00:42:15 lf Simone said so, it's true.
00:42:21 - l expected you in church,
00:42:25 As you know,
00:42:27 you must confess
00:42:30 lt's an obligatory rite.
00:42:36 - Two and a half.
00:42:39 Not if one has nothing
00:42:43 - Examining his conscience
00:42:46 l've heard talk in the village,
00:42:48 a young orphan girl...
00:42:50 lt could prevent
00:42:58 - That would be a pity.
00:43:00 A pity for you, Father.
00:43:03 Don't you think?
00:43:04 l've also heard talk.
00:43:08 lt so happens l have good
00:43:14 That widow in Trois-Rivières...
00:43:16 l'm sure it's only
00:43:21 Like about that orphan girl.
00:43:31 People are just jealous,
00:44:57 - Are you sure of your decision,
00:45:01 - Yes.
00:45:07 l'm going to need you, Nanette.
00:45:12 - l can't accept
00:45:14 l feel like it's my fault.
00:45:19 - lt's no one's fault.
00:45:22 Will you go back to Montreal?
00:45:24 - lt's not as urgent, now that
00:45:32 l swear no one
00:45:37 Wait...
00:45:40 Here.
00:45:42 - lt's for me?
00:45:48 To bring you good luck.
00:45:51 - Thanks.
00:46:43 (child singing Ave Maria
00:47:04 (baby crying)
00:47:28 - lf anyone here present
00:47:30 knows just cause
00:47:32 against this marriage
00:47:36 let them stand and speak,
00:47:43 (coughing)
00:47:58 Do you take Donalda Laloge
00:48:00 as your lawfully wedded wife?
00:48:03 - l do.
00:48:10 - Do you take Séraphin Poudrier
00:48:19 - l do.
00:48:20 - Place this ring on her finger,
00:48:23 as a pledge of fidelity
00:48:35 Place this on his finger,
00:48:37 in fidelity and love.
00:48:47 (church bells ringing)
00:48:50 (Latin)
00:49:30 - lt must've gone out.
00:49:32 - No, it wasn't lit.
00:49:35 We don't heat
00:49:38 We have to save
00:49:40 if we don't want the winter
00:50:43 A stove's not the only way
00:50:46 of keeping warm.
00:51:13 (grunting)
00:51:22 (groaning)
00:51:50 (snoring)
00:52:25 (Alexis): My beautiful
00:52:28 our love has made
00:52:31 l count the days,
00:52:34 The snow is finally melting.
00:53:04 - l have to go to the village.
00:53:08 We're out of buckwheat.
00:53:10 - Don't waste time gabbing.
00:53:13 - l could buy some butter.
00:53:16 - Butter? Dogsmeat!
00:53:20 And it gives you
00:53:23 - My father'd sell it cheap.
00:53:31 Maybe even give it to us.
00:53:33 - l said l don't want any.
00:53:35 Bad habits get you nowhere.
00:53:37 lf you save,
00:53:40 That's how the Good Lord
00:53:46 - You want us to save...
00:53:49 How'll we manage with children?
00:53:54 - Children?
00:53:55 No danger of that.
00:53:57 Not just yet, anyway.
00:54:00 l'm as poor as dirt, Donalda.
00:54:05 We have to go on scrimping,
00:54:08 and forget...
00:54:10 about any extras.
00:54:22 - lt's religion
00:54:24 so that man would not
00:54:29 - When Séraphin comes to me...
00:54:32 You understand...
00:54:37 l still think about Alexis.
00:54:42 That's a sin of impurity.
00:54:46 - Yes?
00:54:47 - lt helps me endure it.
00:54:53 - Temptation isn't a sin,
00:54:56 By resisting it,
00:55:02 - To keep on living,
00:55:16 - ln the middle of the night?
00:55:18 - lt wakes me up.
00:55:20 At night l hear him moving about.
00:55:24 - You've never been
00:55:26 - He wears the key
00:55:33 l'm worried l'm late, Nanette.
00:55:37 ln womanly things, l mean.
00:55:40 - You're in the family way,
00:55:45 - lt sounds crazy,
00:55:47 but it's almost a relief.
00:55:50 When Alexis hears,
00:55:55 That's what's so awful.
00:56:01 - l don't know what to say.
00:56:04 - Donalda! Here...
00:56:06 the last strawberry jam.
00:56:09 l'd put it aside
00:56:12 We're making sugar pies.
00:56:15 - Séraphin doesn't like
00:56:31 - Here...
00:56:33 l wasn't sure...
00:56:35 l've had them a month.
00:56:43 l couldn't bearto burn them.
00:56:54 - l've something for you too.
00:57:01 They were Mom's.
00:57:03 - But why?
00:57:05 - l don't want her
00:57:16 (Alexis): Freedom means
00:57:19 without worrying
00:57:25 lt's standing up
00:57:30 Now, with you,
00:57:32 l understand
00:57:38 At night, l dream
00:57:41 about my desire for you.
00:57:43 How proud l'll be when you tell me
00:58:06 ...the hope of seeing you,
00:58:07 (Alexis and Donalda):
00:58:10 Your Alexis.
00:58:57 - Devil!
00:58:59 l thought you'd died!
00:59:05 Always the same
00:59:09 Did you buy anything else
00:59:15 - My father lowered the price,
00:59:19 Dogsmeat!
00:59:22 - l like it.
00:59:24 - You spent the change!
00:59:29 How will we manage
00:59:31 if you're so wasteful?
00:59:33 And behind my back!
00:59:36 Do you know how much
00:59:42 Think about that!
00:59:53 - My poor friend, it must hurt.
00:59:55 - l guess l caught a chill.
00:59:57 l'm pissing needles!
00:59:59 - You don't catch that chill
01:00:06 ''May the venereal fires
01:00:09 (together): and fanned
01:00:12 - flow in your fundament!''
01:00:15 Gargantua?
01:00:18 l still attend
01:00:19 the Literary Club.
01:00:21 You could come next time.
01:00:27 Speaking of quicksilver,
01:00:29 Alexis is back.
01:00:31 Lock up the ladies!
01:00:35 - Marie-Ange!
01:00:38 Quick, tell Donalda
01:00:42 - She doesn't live here now,
01:00:45 - Oh yeah,
01:00:48 - Mr. Poudrier.
01:00:52 - Séraphin?
01:00:55 Cut it out, you scamp!
01:00:57 - l'm not a scamp.
01:01:07 - Not much of a wedding.
01:01:09 lt was deadly dull.
01:01:12 lt felt like a funeral.
01:01:16 lt wasn't even a sung mass.
01:01:21 - The mayor's wedding...
01:01:24 l bet the church was full.
01:01:32 What's everyone
01:01:39 - Séraphin must've wooed her
01:01:42 And with his money...
01:01:44 - lt doesn't make sense.
01:01:50 l can't believe she'd do it.
01:01:55 - Hardship begets hardship.
01:01:57 Sometimes it makes you
01:02:03 - Ahem!
01:02:08 Well, l'll be darned!
01:02:09 Alexis and Donalda?
01:02:11 - Did Séraphin know about it?
01:02:13 - You better not tell him.
01:02:16 You'll sleep in the shed
01:02:20 - l know which side
01:02:23 Don't l, my little Victorine?
01:02:57 - Alexis?
01:03:10 Alexis, l know you're here!
01:03:23 Don't come any closer.
01:03:26 - l'm back
01:03:31 so we can get married.
01:03:36 And l find you with Séraphin,
01:03:41 in his house, in his things.
01:03:44 ln his bed!
01:03:47 How could you?
01:03:50 Look at me when l'm talking!
01:03:58 - l'm looking at you.
01:04:09 - Do you remember?
01:04:12 ''Alexis, my lovely promise.''
01:04:17 l can't believe it.
01:04:20 This isn't you. This isn't us.
01:04:32 The goddamn cold!
01:04:35 The goddamn silence!
01:04:37 The nights spent dreaming
01:04:40 like an idiot!
01:04:47 - Alexis.
01:04:55 l'm expecting.
01:05:34 - Stop, you're throwing away
01:05:43 Stubborn ass!
01:05:57 - Alexis, you should quit.
01:05:59 - That's enough!
01:06:18 - Did you ever...?
01:06:21 l've never seen such bad luck!
01:06:23 - Unlucky at cards,
01:06:49 - You've stared at the window
01:06:55 You'll end up making him appear.
01:07:00 - Who?
01:07:02 - The devil incarnate.
01:07:25 - lt's not a good night,
01:07:28 - l can't remember
01:07:33 Open your eyes,
01:07:36 - Well, if you don't want
01:07:52 - Don't worry, Alexis,
01:07:59 - That damn hypocrite!
01:08:01 Ensnaring me
01:08:03 with those big eyes
01:08:04 that can break your heart!
01:08:09 Blazes, l'm such a fool!
01:08:33 (baby crying)
01:08:34 - l can't believe you let her!
01:08:36 - Donalda didn't refuse him.
01:08:38 - That's not the same
01:08:42 to me the marriage
01:08:44 - She was married before God.
01:08:46 - Her father!
01:08:50 lt's like she's buried alive!
01:08:53 she could do worse.
01:08:56 - You say that
01:08:59 - Because l love her!
01:09:01 - Huh!
01:09:04 - Can you say as much?
01:09:08 - You dare talk of love,
01:09:11 Even without Séraphin,
01:09:15 - You didn't give her away,
01:09:17 you sold her!
01:10:27 - Ouch!
01:11:44 (thunder)
01:12:03 Let go of me, Alexis.
01:12:06 - We have to talk.
01:12:08 - l beg you.
01:12:20 - Stop, Alexis.
01:12:23 He'll notice l'm gone.
01:12:26 Nanette told me.
01:12:29 You married to save your dad.
01:12:31 Tell me it's true.
01:12:37 Why don't you answer?
01:12:38 Say something, anything.
01:12:47 - Alexis...
01:12:50 You've come, Alexis.
01:12:53 You've come.
01:12:56 We'll go far away,
01:12:58 where no one will find us.
01:13:01 - You can't go back.
01:13:07 - Sacrificing yourself
01:13:11 Wake up, please!
01:13:13 - l'm awake, Alexis.
01:13:15 No dream hurts like this.
01:13:31 - Donalda!!
01:14:04 - l'll have you know, wife,
01:14:08 l work like a dog.
01:14:11 l've no time to be tempted.
01:14:15 Not like the teacher,
01:14:17 who acts like the Madonna but...
01:14:21 Why were you in the woods
01:14:25 - No reason.
01:14:27 - Are you hiding something?
01:14:30 - l swear, Séraphin,
01:14:32 l did nothing wrong.
01:14:41 - lt would be unchristian-like
01:14:43 to tell falsehoods
01:14:46 to your husband.
01:15:03 (grunting and groaning)
01:15:24 - ''The corpse was in...
01:15:28 a state of...
01:15:30 advanced decomposition...''
01:15:33 - However long it takes,
01:15:42 You worked hard, Peg-Leg.
01:15:45 - l enjoy it.
01:15:57 As for you...
01:15:59 Donalda will never leave
01:16:05 You'd better face up to it, now.
01:16:07 You've no prospects,
01:16:11 - You understand nothing
01:16:14 With your gimpy leg,
01:16:34 (Donalda): You've been back
01:16:37 and still you toil,
01:16:42 A dozen times each day
01:16:46 from going to see you.
01:16:49 lt breaks my heart
01:16:51 but it'd be worse if you left.
01:16:55 Tell me, Alexis,
01:16:57 when did love
01:17:24 - Quit loafing and come help,
01:17:34 Thanks.
01:17:37 We're supposed to be mad.
01:17:43 Stubborn mule!
01:17:47 So you decided to stay?
01:17:49 - l'm not out
01:17:53 l'm here just to be here.
01:18:01 - l almost like you
01:18:13 - l saw you proposed
01:18:17 before auctioning off
01:18:20 With all his hard work,
01:18:21 he'll be able to pay
01:18:25 - l don't see
01:18:27 Even now,
01:18:30 - You're too generous.
01:18:33 He pays up in two months.
01:18:37 - Not just with him.
01:18:39 - l thought we understood
01:18:43 - Yes.
01:18:44 But in his case--
01:18:48 Don't forget the matter
01:18:53 Why, Mr Fournier,
01:18:57 - The winterwas hard on my lad.
01:19:03 - Say hello to the mayor.
01:19:11 - lt's very sad to say, but...
01:19:13 l think l'll be selling
01:19:18 l'll see you at Council tonight.
01:19:26 - My, my.
01:19:31 l hope he makes it.
01:19:34 His burden is a heavy one.
01:19:37 - Alexis is as stubborn
01:19:40 - He'll manage,
01:19:45 lf l could, l'd go help him.
01:19:48 - Only one person can help.
01:19:50 And she...
01:19:51 is caught in a trap.
01:19:54 - Call that a trap?
01:19:57 The guy has piles of dough.
01:19:59 - And a heart of stone.
01:20:01 lsn't that right, Mr. Notary?
01:20:05 - Perhaps we should
01:20:09 - Sure, there's nothing
01:20:14 - Are you superstitious?
01:20:18 - The other night l left out
01:20:21 a comb and towel...
01:20:25 - Yes!
01:20:26 He washed himself
01:20:29 - That's a good sign.
01:20:31 Who?
01:20:32 - l thought
01:20:37 that l could never love another.
01:20:39 - Who was it?
01:20:43 - He treats me like a lady,
01:20:46 and never rushes to finish.
01:20:54 - l had my dreams
01:20:58 but Polydor's
01:21:00 And here in Ste-Adèle...
01:21:02 - This isn't candy,
01:21:04 - My nerves are in such a state.
01:21:07 - l have a little favourto ask.
01:21:09 l need Délima's address
01:21:14 - Délima? Séraphin's sister?
01:21:17 lsn't she dead?
01:21:20 - Your husband must have
01:21:24 - You're not asking me
01:21:27 - A minor indiscretion
01:21:30 being revealed.
01:21:34 - Your letters to Quebec City.
01:21:54 - Ho-ho.
01:21:55 - You're crazy, Alexis.
01:21:58 We won't make it.
01:22:02 - Just get to work.
01:22:12 - Trooper can't haul that.
01:22:14 - That goddamn notary!
01:22:16 He changed sides at the meeting.
01:22:19 That damn bastard Séraphin!
01:22:27 They won't beat me, blazes!
01:22:32 Pull!
01:22:34 Come on, Trooper.
01:22:38 Pull!
01:22:40 (neighing)
01:22:44 Ahh!
01:22:49 - Alexis.
01:23:04 (neighing)
01:24:00 - Thanks, Trooper.
01:24:43 - Dogsmeat!
01:24:59 Such a fine animal.
01:25:03 Sure is a shame.
01:25:09 - Keep your pity for yourself,
01:25:14 - When they've worked so hard,
01:25:17 do you think there's...
01:25:22 a heaven for horses?
01:25:25 - l'm not sure there's one
01:25:29 - A loaded shotgun is dangerous,
01:25:35 You can't kill him twice.
01:25:38 - lt's not for him.
01:25:41 lt's forthe wolves.
01:25:45 - No one's seen any
01:25:51 - l wouldn't say that.
01:25:57 - lf they could, l know the Council
01:26:06 lt sure is too bad.
01:26:25 - How can you stand yourself?
01:26:36 Heartless bastard!
01:26:44 - Arghh!
01:26:49 - Oh!
01:28:06 - Ahh! Ahh!
01:28:15 (both panting)
01:28:16 (rooster crowing)
01:28:25 - Séraphin?
01:28:29 Good Lord, what happened?
01:28:34 Did you fight?
01:28:35 - None of your business.
01:28:38 - Not with Alexis?
01:28:44 Why, Séraphin?
01:28:47 - Because...
01:28:49 you're mine.
01:28:59 And he won't have you.
01:30:20 - You have to leave, Alexis.
01:30:27 (crying)
01:30:31 - l know this can't go on.
01:30:35 But l won't leave without you.
01:30:54 - l wanted to make you happy.
01:31:01 Now l've cost you your freedom.
01:31:06 l can't stand seeing you suffer.
01:31:10 Go away.
01:31:15 Go far away.
01:31:19 For my sake.
01:31:21 - l don't mind
01:31:24 But if l leave you...
01:31:28 how will l live
01:31:33 How?
01:31:36 - l don't know!
01:31:39 l don't know.
01:31:46 Please, go away.
01:32:08 - Whoa...
01:32:10 Mr. Mayor,
01:32:12 as the official town recorder,
01:32:14 l have to tell you
01:32:18 Many are on Alexis's side.
01:32:31 - You saw him again.
01:32:32 - We just talked.
01:32:35 - Think l'm stupid?
01:32:39 - l didn't cheat on you.
01:32:41 l neverwill.
01:32:49 l tried my best to love you.
01:32:55 But l can't.
01:33:00 l even prayed,
01:33:10 lt's true that l love Alexis.
01:33:15 And l always will.
01:33:17 But it will go no further.
01:33:22 l know my duty.
01:33:26 - l've done my best
01:33:29 That doesn't seem
01:33:34 You're like every other
01:33:37 You're ungrateful.
01:33:49 (door slamming)
01:33:57 (Donalda): At times
01:34:01 l hated you for listening to me,
01:34:04 and for leaving me forever.
01:34:07 When the leaves turned red,
01:34:10 l felt lost,
01:34:14 like in the forest
01:34:19 Even the silence
01:34:23 and the emptiness
01:34:29 l'd become a stranger
01:34:37 (rattling)
01:34:38 How can it be, Alexis,
01:34:41 that there's not even
01:34:45 in a country as vast as this?
01:35:04 (children whooping)
01:35:19 - lt's Délima.
01:35:21 - Délima?
01:35:24 - Thank you.
01:35:25 Wait for me here,
01:35:59 - lt's surely no more than...
01:36:02 an unfortunate error.
01:36:04 - Come off it.
01:36:05 You'd have to be very naive
01:36:10 Very naive,
01:36:13 - Délima, really!
01:36:15 That's unfair.
01:36:17 The letters must have gone
01:36:19 You've been away so long.
01:36:22 - You've changed, poor man.
01:36:25 Never leaving one's hole
01:36:31 - You had only to come see me.
01:36:34 - ''...the share of the estate
01:36:37 to Séraphin,
01:36:38 who was unable to duly inform
01:36:41 of the sums rightfully
01:36:44 - You've been in the States
01:36:47 We've had no news.
01:36:49 We feared there'd been...
01:36:51 a tragedy.
01:36:55 But now you're here.
01:36:58 The money...
01:37:01 is yours.
01:37:04 But l'm going to need some time
01:37:08 to collect it.
01:37:15 - Your sister Délima
01:37:21 to remit the sum
01:37:23 Failing which,
01:37:25 l've been instructed to proceed
01:37:28 and seize your land.
01:37:36 - ls that a threat?
01:37:39 - Twenty-four hours,
01:38:02 - Madam!
01:38:03 Madam...
01:38:06 He can't find that sum so fast.
01:38:07 He's lent it to folks in need.
01:38:10 We live like paupers.
01:38:12 - Marie-Louise's girl?
01:38:13 You look just like her.
01:38:17 - My mother's been dead
01:38:21 - Yours was an arranged
01:38:26 - No.
01:38:28 No, it was my decision.
01:38:31 - Poor little girl,
01:38:33 you haven't even learned
01:38:58 - Slowly, slowly...
01:40:02 (door creaking open)
01:41:09 - A coffin in white pine
01:41:15 $3 isn't too much.
01:41:17 l always keep a couple on hand.
01:41:19 You never know
01:41:26 - This one's too small.
01:41:30 - l'll have to make one
01:41:33 But it'll cost you more.
01:41:36 - l can't pay more.
01:41:38 - l saw your lad the other day.
01:41:41 This one'll do, you just have
01:41:53 - You know it's too small!
01:41:55 - Get off me!
01:41:57 - For God's sake, Séraphin,
01:42:00 You have enough money.
01:42:02 You feed off misery.
01:42:05 - Step aside.
01:42:07 - l won't step aside anymore.
01:42:09 You'll make him another coffin!
01:42:11 - What did you say, Donalda?
01:42:13 - l won't step aside anymore.
01:42:22 l'll end up hating you!
01:42:27 - Giddyap, Reaper.
01:42:45 - Alexis?
01:42:50 Alexis, tell me you're here!
01:43:13 (quiet praying)
01:43:31 - What are you doing here?
01:43:33 - Nanette,
01:43:35 tell me the truth!
01:43:37 - The truth?
01:43:39 - l feel like he's behind me,
01:43:41 like he's watching me.
01:43:44 lt can't be so.
01:43:50 Tell me it can't.
01:43:53 Swear he's gone for good!
01:43:55 - Stop frightening me,
01:44:01 Let's go.
01:44:03 No, no.
01:44:06 l'll fetch you
01:44:08 Don't move.
01:44:45 - Alexis...
01:45:15 l knew it!
01:46:50 (wind whistling)
01:47:01 (church bells ringing)
01:47:08 (organ playing hymn)

01:48:51 - Donalda! Answer me!
01:49:04 Dogsmeat, will you answer me?
01:49:15 Donalda...
01:49:26 l'll light the stove,
01:49:28 just for you.
01:50:01 - Gently now.
01:50:09 lt'll do you good.
01:50:11 Shush... That's it.
01:50:13 That's it...
01:50:15 That's better.
01:50:20 Shhh... Easy now.
01:50:26 - You didn't go see the doctor?
01:50:31 - l don't want to get better.
01:50:37 - l won't let you do it!
01:50:40 - For once l'm thinking
01:50:44 Do you understand, Nanette?
01:50:52 - Shh...
01:51:06 - The doctorwas called
01:51:09 Until tomorrow night.
01:51:13 - To think she won't see Alexis.
01:51:15 - What can we do, Nanette?
01:51:18 He left town without a word.
01:51:21 - He's at the Red River camp,
01:51:25 Forget it, the roads are blocked.
01:51:28 - l will.
01:51:30 - Are you mad, in this storm?
01:51:38 (coughing)
01:51:54 (coughing)
01:52:02 (heavy breathing)
01:52:12 (speaking Latin)
01:52:25 (coughing)
01:52:29 - Nhum...
01:52:36 Mnuh...
01:52:47 l...
01:52:53 l looked into my heart.
01:53:00 Everything has become clear.
01:53:03 l'm not afraid like before.
01:53:09 - l'm with you, Donalda.
01:53:36 - Push...!
01:53:55 - Hail Mary, full of grace,
01:53:58 Blessed art Thou amongst women,
01:54:00 and blessed is the fruit...
01:54:02 - Holy Mary, Mother of God,
01:54:11 - Hail Mary, full of grace,
01:54:13 the Lord is with Thee.
01:54:16 and blessed is the fruit
01:54:18 - Holy Mary, Mother of God,

01:55:28 Dogsmeat!
01:55:31 - lf you think l'll let you...
01:55:34 - That's enough!
01:55:55 - She held on, waiting for you.
01:56:17 - Donalda...
01:56:29 - Alexis...
01:56:50 - My love.
01:56:53 - My love.
01:56:59 My one and only love.
01:58:19 - l can't officiate
01:58:21 - You've lost me, Father.
01:58:24 - Don't call me Father anymore.
01:58:27 l'm leaving the priesthood.
01:58:30 l'm in love with a woman.
01:58:33 l want to live openly.
01:58:47 - That takes courage.
01:58:53 l've lost everything.
01:59:01 - lt was your daughter
01:59:10 - My little Donalda?
01:59:33 - Life is unfair.
01:59:37 So unfair!
01:59:39 - Our silence killed her.
01:59:49 (Donalda): lt's dark.
01:59:52 The room is freezing,
01:59:54 l'm shaking with fever.
01:59:59 Nanette's here, as usual.
02:00:02 She'll deliverthis letter.

02:04:30 Depuis le premier jour
02:04:33 J'ai su que je t'aimais
02:04:37 contre la terre entière
02:04:44 et que tu te battrais
02:04:47 pour briser les barrières
02:04:51 qu'on nous met tout autour
02:04:58 Je te guette
02:05:00 à travers la clairière
02:05:05 J'étouffe les cris de ma colère
02:05:12 J'ai mis ton nom

02:05:47 Mais si je te perds
02:05:51 je m'y noierai

02:06:09 Au fond de ton hiver
02:06:12 Penses-tu encore à moi
02:06:15 Pourquoi tu ne m'écris pas
02:06:23 Tu es ma seule lumière
02:06:26 Je deviens étrangère
02:06:30 à tout ce qui m'entoure
02:06:37 Je te guette
02:06:39 à travers la clairière
