00:00:35 Ear infection.
00:00:37 Granny? Ulysse is sick.
00:00:41 Josephine,
00:00:43 I'm not too much.
00:00:45 You know, Josephine
00:00:47 it may be important,
00:00:50 No, I'm calling Granny.
00:00:52 What if I give
00:00:56 Then you can
00:01:01 Hello, yes.
00:01:03 She still has fever?
00:01:05 No, that's not normal.
00:01:07 Come right over
00:01:14 That's a pretty baby...
00:01:18 Be right back.
00:01:20 You can get dressed.
00:01:24 Hi, Cathy!
00:01:27 Sorry, just some joker.
00:01:28 You can't come?
00:01:30 - What'll you do?
00:01:32 That's a sad Christmas Eve.
00:01:33 No, Manu, I'll buy in
00:01:37 and I bet it'll be
00:01:40 As you like.
00:01:41 Happy Christmas!
00:01:50 Hi, it's me.
00:01:52 Almost done, and you?
00:01:54 I'm done.
00:01:55 Well, almost...
00:01:58 Sorry, I forgot.
00:02:00 Hi, girls!
00:02:02 You know the way.
00:02:06 - So, got the presents?
00:02:08 - Shit, I forgot.
00:02:10 I told you a thousand times!
00:02:13 I know.
00:02:14 I'm really sorry.
00:02:15 Sure, see you in a bit.
00:02:21 - Isa, how's it going?
00:02:23 Αnd you?
00:02:24 Running late
00:02:26 Why don't I get them
00:02:30 Paris is crazy!
00:02:32 Okay, fine.
00:02:33 See you at Mom's.
00:02:36 Don't forget her teddy!
00:02:38 Do I ever!
00:02:40 Big kiss bye.
00:02:48 - Change of plan, crèche duty.
00:02:54 Bravo for the wine,
00:02:59 Good it cost a bomb.
00:03:03 - I'm useless with kids.
00:03:06 No, or I've forgotten.
00:03:08 Yeah, sure...
00:03:10 Come on.. .
00:03:12 Stop being a grouch.
00:03:15 Let's say hello.
00:03:20 Watch out!
00:03:22 Fuck!
00:03:25 And the phone has to ring.
00:03:28 Yes, Mrs. Berger...
00:03:30 - Are you blind!
00:03:34 That's all I need!
00:03:37 - You okay?
00:03:40 Sorry, we're totally in the wrong.
00:03:44 Don't worry
00:03:46 It's a bit late...
00:03:49 Just get the medicine up front...
00:03:52 - Where is it?
00:03:53 - The insurance form.
00:03:55 No, Madam,
00:03:58 Happy Christmas.. .
00:04:02 Quick, the crèche is closing.
00:04:05 I got my insurance documents
00:04:08 but as I'm moving,
00:04:11 Must be in here somewhere.
00:04:14 Listen, we're running late.
00:04:16 So I suggest we do the declaration
00:04:19 Better still, have your car fixed
00:04:24 Okay?
00:04:25 Here's my card.
00:04:27 Thanks.
00:04:28 Wait!
00:04:35 Here's my number.
00:04:37 Great, so I'll be hearing from you.
00:04:40 I'm really sorry.
00:04:42 Goodnight.
00:04:46 Better hurry.
00:04:55 Hi, everybody!
00:04:56 At last!
00:04:58 Hi, scallywags!
00:04:59 Uncle Philippe!
00:05:03 Hi, buddy.
00:05:06 - How was her day?
00:05:09 I better check that fever.
00:05:11 How's my favourite!
00:05:14 Great to be here.
00:05:16 - Suzanne, like a drop?
00:05:18 Here you take her
00:05:21 Isn't she cute?
00:05:22 Don't bother him,
00:05:24 No, Mom he's fine.
00:05:34 I think she just.. .
00:05:36 Sorry, she's not well.
00:05:38 No problem.
00:05:43 Look, my pet.
00:05:49 She's not well,
00:06:26 It was nice, but I drank too much.
00:06:31 You okay?
00:06:36 I want a child, Philippe.
00:06:40 Must we talk about that?
00:06:42 Yes, I think we must.
00:06:45 No, I'm exhausted
00:06:54 I filed for adoption last summer.
00:06:57 A social worker will be visiting
00:07:01 Are you serious?
00:07:03 Yes, I am.
00:07:07 You could've told me.
00:07:09 Why? You'd have said no.
00:07:12 We don't have the right to adopt.
00:07:14 Unless I pass myself off
00:07:17 So, what do I do?
00:07:19 You just move out for the visit.
00:07:22 A few days at the most.
00:07:24 All worked out!
00:07:27 Kids all day adorable nephews
00:07:32 I just want to be a dad.
00:07:33 Manu, we're gay!
00:07:35 So we can't be parents?
00:07:36 - Right.
00:07:38 Two men can't have a baby,
00:07:42 Nonsense!
00:07:43 Think of the kid, with two dads?
00:07:45 We talked about this.
00:07:47 It'll be clear I'll be the dad.
00:07:49 - And you'll be...
00:07:51 I don't want a child, get it?
00:07:59 Your sister and hubby
00:08:02 who never go out,
00:08:06 It scares me.
00:08:07 I'm 40 and I still want to live.
00:08:10 Well, I'm 42 and tired of living
00:08:15 I'm sick of it
00:08:18 So, I'm asking you now,
00:08:21 if one day
00:08:24 You and me yes or no?
00:08:35 Sorry, but it's no.
00:09:05 Morning.
00:09:20 I've been thinking it over...
00:09:24 I'm going ahead
00:09:34 Fine.
00:09:38 Philippe, it's vital for me.
00:09:45 Philippe!
00:09:49 It's crazy!
00:09:50 The only stable couple I know
00:09:53 It's hopeless!
00:09:54 Why stay with a guy
00:09:57 You could've waited,
00:10:01 We did, but he's set in his ways.
00:10:03 I'm getting old
00:10:06 You're telling me!
00:10:15 Well, I think it's all there.
00:10:19 Fine.
00:10:23 Don't want to check?
00:10:26 I trust you, thanks.
00:10:28 Don't thank me, I ran into you.
00:10:31 True. Then I won't thank you.
00:10:35 That's better.
00:10:42 Where are you from
00:10:46 Argentina.
00:10:48 I studied design here
00:10:51 and now I want to live here.
00:10:53 It's tough with no work permit
00:10:58 That's why I kind of "forgot"
00:11:04 I get it...
00:11:32 Willies are out!
00:11:38 They're everywhere!
00:11:50 The sports paper...
00:11:52 Perfect!
00:11:54 The Greek Myths...
00:11:57 The Greek Myths?
00:12:12 I'm a doctor, a paediatrician.
00:12:15 I chose this speciality,
00:12:20 I always wanted to have kids
00:12:23 but so far,
00:12:25 And as time goes by
00:12:28 I feel an increasing need
00:12:30 to be a father.
00:12:34 In fact, it's quite normal.
00:12:41 Why not do this with a woman?
00:12:43 Let's say,
00:12:45 my personal history
00:12:51 and I don't want to base
00:12:54 on the hope of a possible meeting.
00:13:00 Very well...
00:13:02 Shall we visit?
00:13:04 Let's go.
00:13:06 This is the kitchen,
00:13:11 dish-washer, cooker, fridge...
00:13:16 She's my ex.
00:13:20 Associates too,
00:13:24 Shall we go on?
00:13:26 So,
00:13:27 this will be the child's room,
00:13:30 For now it's a laundry,
00:13:33 It has its own bathroom,
00:13:36 Take a look.
00:13:38 And it gives onto the courtyard.
00:13:42 Cool in summer.
00:13:44 Well, you've seen it all
00:13:46 except the upstairs bedroom...
00:13:52 I'll be giving your request
00:13:56 and you must consult a registered
00:14:00 from this list here.
00:14:02 Wonderful.
00:14:04 So then,
00:14:07 You will.
00:14:10 Goodbye, thank you.
00:14:27 Hello?
00:14:27 Cathy?
00:14:29 Someone's at the door.
00:14:36 Yes?
00:14:37 It's Mrs Charpentier!
00:14:39 Sorry, we forgot the photocopies.
00:14:42 Of course, come in.
00:14:54 There you go.
00:14:55 I think it's no longer necessary.
00:14:58 Sorry?
00:15:00 You know perfectly well.
00:15:07 Damn!
00:15:10 Mrs Charpentier, wait!
00:15:13 We were drunk, he's a friend
00:15:15 and totally straight.
00:15:20 Dammit!
00:15:22 Think I enjoy
00:15:25 I can be a good father.
00:15:26 Straight or gay,
00:15:29 Our job is to take every precaution
00:15:33 But I'm a paediatrician
00:15:34 I know how to bring up a child!
00:15:37 That's not for me to say.
00:15:39 We have clear instructions.
00:15:43 Listen, you could forget
00:15:47 For you, it's just a signature.
00:15:50 But for me, it's my whole life.
00:15:56 I can't do that, Mr Bernier.
00:16:01 I'm sorry.
00:16:23 France will change fast
00:16:28 Who'd have imagined
00:16:30 would authorise
00:16:34 You'll soon have the same problems
00:16:37 marriage, kids, even divorce.
00:16:44 What if we had a baby together?
00:16:46 Don't be silly.
00:16:48 In university, one night,
00:16:51 "If I'm single at 40,
00:16:54 Was I drunk?
00:16:56 Face facts,
00:17:03 So I'm making my formal request:
00:17:06 Will you have a child with me?
00:17:10 Nice to think of me, but no.
00:17:13 But why?
00:17:14 It'd mean I'd given up
00:17:17 who'd father my child.
00:17:21 But think about it.
00:17:23 I'd seriously consider
00:17:26 with an old gay friend
00:17:29 than some guy you don't,
00:17:33 - which isn't sure,
00:17:36 and who'll most likely
00:17:39 I sometimes wonder
00:17:42 doesn't just drag me down.
00:17:44 And as a doctor
00:17:48 problems of fertility,
00:17:49 Down's syndrome, malformation...
00:17:51 Enough!
00:17:52 Eat your dessert
00:17:57 - Promise to think about it?
00:18:03 That crèche breeds germs!
00:18:06 He's really chesty,
00:18:10 Every weekend we set him right
00:18:12 only to get sick again!
00:18:13 He needs an iron tonic.
00:18:16 Do you hear?
00:18:21 It's more a dry cough.
00:18:22 No, it's loose.
00:18:25 How'd you know?
00:18:27 He's my son, I know.
00:18:29 Your son?
00:18:31 I'm up with him every night!
00:18:33 And I never see to him?
00:18:35 Yeah, five minutes,
00:18:55 Hello, this is Emmanuel Bernier.
00:18:58 Sorry?
00:18:59 Remember? The car?
00:19:02 Right, how are you?
00:19:04 Fine, thanks.
00:19:06 I was wondering how
00:19:08 Pretty good...
00:19:13 Nice of you to call.
00:19:15 It's only normal,
00:19:18 I was wondering if perhaps...
00:19:20 we could
00:19:25 meet up...
00:19:29 Maybe for dinner?
00:19:35 Okay... Why not?
00:19:39 How about.. .
00:19:41 tonight?
00:19:44 I met him at design school.
00:19:51 Even planned to get married.
00:19:54 But it wasn't to be,
00:20:00 No need to look so down,
00:20:05 What about you?
00:20:07 You've got me talking,
00:20:12 Me? Not much to know.
00:20:14 I'm a doctor, a paediatrician...
00:20:19 That's about it.
00:20:22 And apparently single?
00:20:25 Let's say I've...
00:20:27 recently split up.
00:20:28 And why?
00:20:30 Without being indiscreet.
00:20:32 Over time
00:20:34 our needs grew different.
00:20:37 I see.
00:20:38 Well, I don't really.
00:20:43 My partner didn't want children.
00:20:45 Excuse me.
00:20:46 I'm really sorry.
00:20:48 No need to apologise.
00:20:50 On the contrary.
00:20:52 Indeed, that's kind of
00:20:55 Let me explain.
00:20:57 I felt that...
00:21:00 you and I might have common cause.
00:21:07 Basically
00:21:08 I thought I could marry you
00:21:11 and in exchange
00:21:14 you'd agree to have my baby.
00:21:16 Wow!
00:21:24 Never heard that one before.
00:21:27 That your usual chat-up line?
00:21:30 No, not at all!
00:21:33 I'm so stupid.
00:21:36 I forgot one important detail.
00:21:40 In fact, I'm gay.
00:21:44 Homosexual.
00:21:46 But you just said your partner
00:21:50 Partner, as in boyfriend.
00:21:53 The idea is, we marry,
00:21:57 and in exchange,
00:22:02 I mean, for the conception,
00:22:05 We can work it out.
00:22:08 You hand over the newborn,
00:22:13 So, what do you say?
00:22:43 Fina, this is Emmanuel.
00:22:48 I was really crass
00:22:51 I hope you'll forgive me.
00:22:54 I'm really sorry.
00:22:56 Big kiss, hope to see you soon.
00:22:59 Bye.

00:24:04 So, then.
00:24:07 Here we are.
00:24:10 was stopped in an uninsured vehicle
00:24:15 She claims she lives with you,
00:24:20 Do you confirm this?
00:24:22 Yes, I do, totally!
00:24:25 That's right.
00:24:30 Sorry, I said the first thing
00:24:33 Not to worry.
00:24:38 That way, I'm half forgiven?
00:24:56 So, where do I drop you?
00:24:59 Well, in fact,
00:25:01 I was staying with a friend
00:25:04 but her guy's back from Argentina.
00:25:19 There we go.
00:25:21 The bathroom's here.
00:25:23 And here you'll find all you need
00:25:26 towels, sheets and so on.
00:25:28 Thank you.
00:25:29 I'll leave you be.
00:25:31 Unless, you'd...
00:25:34 like a bite to eat?
00:25:35 I'm starving.
00:25:37 Well, while you're calming down
00:25:40 I'll see what I can find.
00:25:42 See you in a bit.
00:25:50 Pignas? Pignonas?
00:25:53 Pignetas?
00:25:54 Pignones.
00:25:57 Pignones, there we go.
00:26:01 Food at last.
00:26:05 Thank you.
00:26:08 Don't worry, I'll leave tomorrow.
00:26:12 Do I look worried?
00:26:20 My favourite!
00:26:23 What'll you say
00:26:27 I dunno.. .
00:26:31 That you left.
00:26:33 And vanished into thin air.
00:26:48 But, if you want to stay longer...
00:26:52 the time to find your feet,
00:26:58 It's a big house.
00:27:01 And it looks like
00:27:05 So...
00:27:08 Welcome.
00:27:13 Cheers!

00:27:25 Thank you.
00:27:27 Excuse me.
00:27:30 It's me.
00:27:31 - Me?
00:27:33 Oh, sorry.
00:27:34 I can't find the glue .
00:27:37 Got any?
00:27:38 Cupboard near the stairs,
00:27:44 Great!
00:27:47 So, any plans for tonight?
00:27:49 Tonight? Nothing special.
00:27:52 Maybe eat together?
00:27:55 I'll call you back.
00:27:56 Out or at home?
00:27:57 Fina, I'm consulting.
00:28:00 Sorry, didn't realise.
00:28:06 Where was I?
00:28:07 A fine, healthy baby!
00:28:16 Sorry,
00:28:18 I'm not very talkative...
00:28:23 Odd, seeing you again.
00:28:27 But also a pleasure.
00:28:33 So, how are you?
00:28:35 Fine.
00:28:37 No offence, but...
00:28:41 you rarely call back.
00:28:43 I'm very busy,
00:28:44 I go out a lot.
00:28:47 I'm living.
00:28:49 Great.
00:28:53 You don't seem in any hurry
00:28:59 I rented furnished.
00:29:06 So what do we do?
00:29:10 About what?
00:29:12 The house, the lease,
00:29:14 the appliances, the furniture?
00:29:16 Keep it all.
00:29:18 But we bought most of it together.
00:29:20 You heard, keep it all.
00:29:22 Are you sure?
00:29:25 At least take the car.
00:29:30 And the painting?
00:29:33 To hell with the car.
00:29:40 I never thought it'd come to this.
00:29:44 Listen, Manu.
00:29:46 This whole thing was your doing.
00:29:49 So take the rap
00:30:13 Hi, there!
00:30:15 Okay?
00:30:18 Yeah.
00:30:22 What're you writing?
00:30:23 A job letter.
00:30:25 Can I see?
00:30:26 It's not finished.
00:30:34 Let's have a look.
00:30:46 I see.
00:30:47 "On the strength of my job
00:30:53 "I feel I can bring real
00:30:59 Too pretentious?
00:31:04 I knew it.
00:31:06 So, let's see.

00:31:11 What?
00:31:13 "I feel I can bring your company

00:31:20 "Fantasy, creativity,
00:31:22 "and total motivation."
00:31:26 It's great!
00:31:52 I did an internship at Renault,
00:31:56 It was great.
00:31:58 I worked on the new textiles,
00:32:00 the design of the accessories,
00:32:04 A baby needs its mother.
00:32:06 So initially,
00:32:09 "Initially"?
00:32:11 I dunno.. .
00:32:13 I guess, four, five years.
00:32:16 So, all you want is a genitor.
00:32:19 You're not looking
00:32:22 Nature says it takes
00:32:26 We agree.
00:32:29 But one has to make concessions...
00:32:34 We are women.
00:32:36 We can easily get pregnant,
00:32:38 whether or not
00:32:42 I worked at the Moulinex
00:32:45 on home appliances.. .
00:32:48 food-processors, scales, fryers.
00:32:51 You want to raise the child
00:32:54 It's great for kids.
00:32:56 It confronts them
00:32:59 - Multi-ethnic...
00:33:02 It's fascinating,
00:33:07 - It's a mix of...
00:33:10 I'll be frank.
00:33:11 So for the child,
00:33:15 Yes, I don't really
00:33:18 Take a wander, it's interesting.
00:33:22 Indeed...
00:33:23 You did?
00:33:25 Yes, that's the problem.
00:33:27 My friend's a gynaecologist,
00:33:30 Why bother? Natural is best.
00:33:34 By insemination?
00:33:35 No man and woman.
00:33:40 We'll see.
00:33:41 Why not? It'd be a lot easier.
00:33:44 Why bother with syringes?
00:33:47 No sorry, no way.
00:33:49 - You're so biased.
00:33:51 Yeah, hung up.
00:33:53 I just like to be told.
00:33:57 I'm telling you now.
00:33:59 Why get up in a heap?
00:34:01 If you want a child
00:34:04 - And see...
00:34:06 Personally, I'm up for it.
00:34:09 If you agree?
00:34:22 Hi.
00:34:25 You okay?
00:34:31 Well?
00:34:34 Nothing to write home about.
00:34:38 It's normal I guess.
00:34:41 It's like dating...
00:34:44 It'll take time before I meet a couple
00:34:48 I can feel comfortable with
00:34:57 How was your day?
00:34:59 Had a really good interview
00:35:03 That's great.
00:35:05 And guess what?
00:35:12 Well, that's something.
00:35:29 See you tomorrow.
00:35:34 Goodnight.
00:35:41 You'll be alright?
00:35:44 Yes.
00:35:45 Don't worry.
00:35:51 Goodnight.
00:36:09 Manu...
00:36:10 Wake up.
00:36:12 I've got to talk to you.
00:36:17 Are you crazy?
00:36:20 At this hour?
00:36:23 Listen,
00:36:25 I've been thinking.
00:36:30 We'll talk about it later.
00:36:36 Okay.
00:36:54 What was that?
00:36:57 You heard.
00:37:00 But why?
00:37:02 I want to help you too.
00:37:04 Hold on.
00:37:06 You realise what you're saying?
00:37:09 Of course.
00:37:10 Before, I didn't know you
00:37:12 but now I'm sure
00:37:15 I think this is getting
00:37:19 No, not at all.
00:37:21 I've my whole life before me,
00:37:24 I know I can do that for you.
00:37:27 There's just one condition.
00:37:29 I'd like a real wedding,
00:37:32 So they won't worry for me.
00:37:39 - No way!
00:37:41 I won't be party to slavery!
00:37:43 Come on,
00:37:46 She's doing it as a friend.
00:37:48 Separating mother and child.
00:37:50 Attacking the heart of nature!
00:37:53 Misogynist!
00:37:54 We could manage,
00:37:58 I can't inseminate surrogate mothers,
00:38:02 No one'll know.
00:38:05 a married couple have kids?
00:38:07 Come on, Cathy.
00:38:21 - Damn you.
00:38:22 So, what's the next step?
00:38:26 Full check-up on you both:
00:38:28 blood tests, Chlamydia,
00:38:31 And of course, AIDS .
00:38:34 Great!
00:38:36 When do we start?
00:38:38 Taking a holiday?
00:38:39 Yes, next week.
00:38:41 It'll do you good.
00:38:42 - Call me in two weeks.
00:38:45 Thank you, goodbye.
00:38:50 Hello.
00:38:52 Are you Fina?
00:38:56 This way.
00:39:04 Manu?
00:39:41 Hello.
00:39:55 Bastard!
00:39:56 Go on back to your whore!
00:40:00 You're only hurting yourself.
00:40:03 You have to move on,
00:40:09 Excuse me.
00:40:15 What are you doing here?
00:40:16 To say hello...
00:40:18 and that Fina has moved in,
00:40:21 as we're getting married
00:40:26 She's also agreed
00:40:30 Insane.
00:40:33 I don't want you imagining things.
00:40:35 I won't.
00:40:38 Philippe...
00:40:39 What can I say?
00:40:40 You dump me for a total stranger
00:40:45 Gay dad meets homeless Peruvian...
00:40:48 Argentinean.
00:40:48 Fine!
00:40:50 Go on back to your breeder,
00:40:53 Why does everyone think I'm crazy?
00:40:56 All I want is a child!
00:41:10 Wanted to see me?
00:41:12 Why don't you sit down?
00:41:18 I'm worried.
00:41:29 Is it Fina?
00:41:33 Don't say I've got...
00:41:34 The AIDS test was negative.
00:41:39 Then, what?
00:41:45 You can't have kids.
00:41:50 What do you mean?
00:41:54 You've got a zoospermia.
00:41:57 What?
00:41:59 It's impossible. You sure?
00:42:03 Girard.. .
00:42:15 That's why it took so long.
00:42:20 I'm really sorry.
00:43:01 Yes?
00:43:03 Why don't you answer the phone?
00:43:05 Marine is sick, cries non-stop.
00:43:07 Can't ask the baby-sitter.
00:43:11 Sure.
00:43:12 We're dining with my boss.
00:43:15 It's all in the bag,
00:43:19 she hasn't eaten.
00:43:20 Goodbye, my pet.
00:43:24 Thanks.
00:43:25 Say hi to Philippe.
00:43:29 Have fun.
00:43:30 My little girl is not well.
00:43:35 Come with uncle Manu,
00:43:42 Let's have a listen inside.
00:43:46 Here come the chilly tickles!
00:43:54 Finished.
00:44:17 See? Life isn't so bad after all.
00:45:31 Come on, up!
00:45:34 Three days of the blues,
00:45:37 How?
00:45:38 I'm sterile and can't even adopt!
00:45:42 You just need a genitor.
00:45:46 A what?
00:45:48 Like sterile couples do,
00:45:50 ask family or friends
00:45:56 Sure but.. . it's kind of tricky.
00:46:00 You dare ask me
00:46:01 to have your baby
00:46:05 But from who?
00:46:10 I'm really sorry.
00:46:20 What do you intend to do?
00:46:22 I don't know...
00:46:27 Well, I do.
00:46:29 Would you be willing
00:46:38 Are you serious?
00:46:40 Yes, totally.
00:46:49 Philippe...
00:46:52 Excuse me.
00:46:58 Will you just listen!
00:47:02 Hold on, dammit!
00:47:05 I don't want kids, get it?
00:47:06 It's just your sperm,
00:47:11 Know what you're asking?
00:47:12 Yes.
00:47:14 That's why I can only ask you.
00:47:17 And if you refuse, I'm giving up.
00:47:44 Let's weigh you.
00:47:45 Excuse me.
00:47:46 That's okay.
00:47:53 It's me, am I disturbing?
00:48:00 I'm busy.
00:48:02 I'll be quick.
00:48:05 I just wanted to say.. .
00:48:08 I agree.
00:48:11 Sorry?
00:48:13 I agree to what you asked.
00:48:29 But you're the prettiest baby
00:48:38 For the kids.
00:48:43 Careful, it's hot.
00:48:48 Another?
00:48:50 I don't recall your telling us
00:48:54 It's normal we just met.
00:48:56 A few weeks ago.
00:49:00 And how's Philippe?
00:49:04 Fine, I think.
00:49:06 You think?
00:49:11 Philippe and I have split up.
00:49:14 What a pity.
00:49:16 Why is that?
00:49:19 We'd been drifting apart for a while.
00:49:22 But I also have some good news.
00:49:27 Fina and I are getting married.
00:49:30 Hope you're free for the party.
00:49:32 Manu, it took us 15 years
00:49:36 and now you're getting married?
00:49:39 Hold on, there's more.
00:49:43 It's just a marriage of convenience.
00:49:49 So, that's the good news?
00:49:51 No.
00:49:53 I'm getting there.
00:49:57 Fina has agreed to be
00:50:02 But I'll have sole custody.
00:50:05 Even though we'll stay in touch,
00:50:07 if the child wants to meet its mom.
00:50:11 I didn't understand.
00:50:13 He's getting married
00:50:19 What's a surrogate mother?
00:50:21 A surrogate mother is...
00:50:24 Why don't you guys go play?
00:50:27 Scoot!
00:50:31 Have you lost your mind,
00:50:34 You realise what you're asking?
00:50:37 Won't be the first child
00:50:40 Dammit, you always say
00:50:43 Love with no female referent?
00:50:46 The female referent!
00:50:47 - What'll you tell the child later?
00:50:50 That his dad so wanted him
00:50:52 he found a woman and a man
00:50:57 Another man?
00:51:02 Well, Cathy
00:51:05 did some tests
00:51:08 So I asked Philippe
00:51:13 You're totally mad!
00:51:15 We can't let them do this,
00:51:24 Come, pet.
00:51:25 For the wedding, count me out!
00:51:30 I'll go.
00:51:35 Well, I think it's great news.
00:51:39 I'm absolutely delighted.
00:51:42 It's wonderful!
00:51:47 Hi, there.
00:51:48 Everything okay?
00:51:55 What's the occasion?
00:51:57 Nothing special.
00:52:02 It's not my birthday,
00:52:05 Open it and see.
00:52:07 Be warned, I hate chocolates.
00:52:18 I don't believe it.
00:52:24 Are you sure?
00:52:26 Yes.
00:52:30 Really sure?
00:52:31 Yes.
00:52:37 I'm going to be a dad?
00:52:41 I'm going to be a dad!
00:52:47 I can't believe it!
00:52:51 Thank you.
00:53:06 What's the matter?
00:53:09 I dreamt I had a malformed baby
00:53:14 A common nightmare
00:53:19 You won't abandon me?
00:53:21 No, don't worry.
00:53:26 Back to bed.
00:53:33 I'm scared down there.
00:53:36 Can I stay a bit?
00:53:39 Sure.
00:53:42 Hop in.
00:53:56 I'm shivering.
00:53:58 I'm cold.
00:54:04 Then snuggle up.
00:54:21 I feel good with you.
00:54:27 And you?
00:54:29 Likewise.
00:55:41 You what?
00:55:45 Why?
00:55:47 I dunno.
00:55:49 That's wild.
00:55:53 So, how was it?
00:55:56 It was...
00:56:12 That's wild.
00:56:14 And...
00:56:19 do you feel love for her?
00:56:22 I don't know...
00:56:26 I find her touching.
00:56:28 Even physically, I like her.
00:56:33 You mean...
00:56:35 you may be a closet straight?
00:56:38 Don't be silly.
00:56:45 Be right back.
00:56:58 Cathy, everything okay?
00:57:01 Yes, fine.
00:57:05 Are you sure?
00:57:07 It's too bright in here.
00:57:19 Well, time to go.
00:57:21 Don't want to stay a bit longer?
00:57:26 We could chat.
00:57:27 About what? I've told you all.
00:57:31 It's late.
00:57:35 You could sleep here.
00:57:37 Too late for the metro.
00:57:40 Cathy,
00:57:41 I'm driving.
00:57:45 Of course.
00:57:47 Bye.
00:57:52 Thanks for dinner.
00:58:00 See you tomorrow.
00:58:50 Can I have a word?
00:58:53 I've really important news.
00:58:55 I'm listening.
00:58:57 Fina is pregnant.
00:59:00 I'm really happy for you.
00:59:02 Amazing, well done.
00:59:05 I really wanted to thank you.
00:59:10 And...
00:59:14 also to tell you that...
00:59:21 Carlos.
00:59:23 Hi.
00:59:26 Fina and I are getting married
00:59:29 Why not come along?
00:59:33 Both of you.
00:59:35 There's no problem.
00:59:41 Well, I won't keep you.
01:00:29 I fell asleep.
01:00:33 What time is it?
01:00:45 You know...
01:00:48 What happened last night
01:00:51 was very sweet,
01:00:55 very tender,
01:01:00 but it can't happen again.
01:01:03 You understand?
01:01:08 Sure.
01:01:28 There's Paris!
01:01:30 How pretty.
01:01:31 - That's Paris?
01:01:35 - Look at this garden...
01:01:39 So, this is your room.
01:01:42 - Looks lovely.
01:01:47 Darling, we're so thrilled
01:01:52 We want to hear it all.
01:01:55 How you met,
01:01:58 We want to know everything!
01:02:02 What's the matter, darling?
01:02:06 It's the emotion.
01:02:08 What's wrong, my pet?
01:02:11 Don't worry.
01:02:12 Your mother couldn't stop crying
01:02:16 Yes, I remember.
01:02:18 Mr Emmanuel François Xavier Bernier,
01:02:22 do you take as wife
01:02:25 Miss Josefina Maria Paredes
01:02:28 here present?
01:02:30 I do.
01:02:31 Miss Josefina Maria Paredes,
01:02:36 Mr Emmanuel François Xavier Bernier
01:02:49 Miss?
01:02:53 Miss Paredes?
01:02:57 I do.
01:02:59 I hereby declare you
01:03:05 The kiss.
01:03:12 Long live the happy couple!
01:03:28 Philippe!
01:03:29 How are you?
01:03:31 Glad to see you.
01:03:34 Thanks. You okay?
01:03:40 Glad you came.
01:03:41 Don't jump to conclusions.
01:03:43 I only came to please Mom.
01:03:45 Right.
01:05:07 I'm glad you came.
01:05:12 Didn't think you would.
01:05:13 Here I am.
01:05:17 - How are things?
01:05:19 Well, you seem happy.
01:05:22 I can't complain.
01:05:27 You didn't come with
01:05:30 your new boyfriend?
01:05:32 No, he ditched me.
01:05:35 Really? Why?
01:05:37 He said I was...
01:05:40 How did he put it?
01:05:43 and "sinister" .
01:05:44 No kidding!
01:05:48 But maybe.. .
01:05:51 he's not all wrong.
01:05:53 No.
01:05:58 Goodnight.
01:06:23 Goodnight, Mrs Bernier.
01:07:29 Not too late?
01:07:43 Cute place you've got.
01:07:53 Yeah...
01:07:55 It's cute.
01:08:34 I wish you every happiness,
01:08:40 I'm so happy. He's so elegant, so
01:08:46 My darling!
01:08:49 And now...
01:08:51 you give us
01:08:55 We will, I promise.
01:08:57 Bon voyage.
01:08:59 Bye.
01:09:03 Hurry up! We'll be late.
01:09:06 Bye. Safe home!
01:09:09 Come on, quick!
01:09:25 What's up with you?
01:09:28 How could you do that
01:09:31 Under my parents, nose!
01:09:34 Get real.
01:09:37 You had to get laid the same night?
01:09:39 No need to be gross.
01:09:41 I didn't get laid,
01:09:44 But you said it was over?
01:09:46 I thought it was.
01:09:48 So?
01:09:50 So...
01:09:51 Philippe may be moving back in.
01:09:55 What! And me?
01:09:57 It changes nothing.
01:10:00 You stay until the birth,
01:10:03 We didn't say
01:10:06 - What does it change?
01:10:09 Fina, what is this?
01:10:12 is the rolling pin.
01:10:16 You guessed!
01:10:20 Fina...
01:10:22 Dammit!
01:10:31 What's going on?
01:10:32 Wanna know?
01:10:35 I've fallen in love with you.
01:10:39 But I thought we'd made it
01:10:41 Sure.
01:10:42 That's why we slept together.
01:10:45 That day I was all mixed up.
01:10:48 My joy at being a father,
01:10:52 You're really special to me,
01:10:57 But I'm gay
01:10:59 and always will be.
01:11:04 I was wrong, Manu.
01:11:07 I can't have this baby without love.
01:11:40 I'm sorry.
01:11:44 I guess we really messed up.
01:11:55 What do you want to do?
01:12:06 We should put a stop to this.
01:12:11 Don't you think?
01:12:28 You may have tummy-aches
01:12:32 But it's nothing serious,
01:12:36 Okay?
01:12:39 If not, call me.
01:12:42 Okay.
01:12:46 I'm sure it's for the best.
01:12:56 Fina?
01:13:50 What we'd like
01:13:51 is to take the time
01:13:55 Right.
01:13:57 See each other often,
01:14:00 Great.
01:14:01 Make sure we agree
01:14:04 Leave as little as possible
01:14:08 Sure, chance is...
01:14:10 We'd like alternate custody.
01:14:13 Only problem is,
01:14:16 Yeah...
01:14:18 We noticed on the site.
01:14:21 So in the interest of the child...
01:14:25 Excuse me.
01:14:27 I don't know if Manu told you,
01:14:30 he'll be the dad,
01:14:33 It's me.
01:14:35 Me? Who's me?
01:14:37 Fina.
01:14:41 Where are you?
01:14:42 At the Bleuets clinic.
01:14:44 I'm waiting for you, hurry up!
01:14:45 At the Bleuets clinic?
01:14:49 - Miss Parades?
01:14:52 Push, push...
01:14:57 Great. Now rest.
01:14:59 Hello.
01:15:00 - You okay?
01:15:03 Quick, water.
01:15:04 Contraction on the way.
01:15:06 Open your mouth.
01:15:07 Ready.
01:15:09 Breathe in, hold it.
01:15:11 Now push!
01:15:13 Encourage her!
01:15:23 I can't.
01:15:23 You can.
01:15:24 She can't.
01:15:26 You're doing great.
01:15:28 I can't.
01:15:31 Be brave, Fina.
01:15:32 You can do it.
01:15:34 Ready, contraction!
01:15:35 Deep breath, hold it.
01:15:39 Push, push...
01:15:42 We can see the head!
01:15:44 Stop pushing!
01:15:46 It's a little girl.
01:15:48 A pretty little girl!
01:15:50 Look, a little girl.
01:16:05 You were great.
01:16:08 She's so tiny...
01:16:10 So tiny.
01:16:25 Who's the dad?
01:16:28 - He is.
01:16:30 Chosen her name?
01:16:32 For a girl I'd thought of Zèlie.
01:16:36 Yes, Zèlie sounds nice.
01:16:54 She's so tiny!
01:17:13 Hi, I'm Manu. I'm your dad.
01:17:17 And this is Philippe.
01:17:20 She looks so like you,
01:17:24 She's got your nose, I swear.
01:17:27 Can we do the paperwork?
01:17:30 Here, you take her.
01:17:35 Mind her head.
01:17:37 That's right.
01:17:46 Me too, I'm your dad.
01:17:49 And you're my princess.
01:17:53 What a voice you've got.
01:18:25 Easy does it.
01:18:28 Can you walk okay?
01:18:31 There he is!
01:18:40 What's up?
01:18:41 I'm not coming.
01:18:46 I don't get it.
01:18:49 You take Zèlie and go home.
01:18:52 - That was our contract.
01:18:54 Our contract's over.
01:18:57 Not for me.
01:18:58 Listen, take your time.
01:19:00 We go home, you rest up
01:19:03 No need.
01:19:05 You go your way, I go mine.
01:19:07 Don't be silly!
01:19:08 You wanted her.
01:19:10 I can't look after her,
01:19:16 I need to forget you.
01:19:19 I don't understand.
01:19:21 So why did you keep her?
01:19:23 I don't know.
01:19:26 For her.
01:19:29 Please, don't make it harder.
01:19:35 And promise not to look for me.
01:19:38 I'll come to you, okay?
01:19:40 Promise me.
01:19:44 Now go.
01:19:45 Go!
01:19:48 I beg you.
01:20:38 When you change her,
01:20:41 And if she doesn't sleep,
01:20:45 Let her cry for 5', go see her.
01:20:49 She usually sleeps.
01:20:52 If so you must call me.
01:20:55 Don't over-tighten the bottle,
01:20:58 But under-tighten and it spills.
01:21:00 And check the milk
01:21:04 I left you our mobile numbers.
01:21:06 Plus our friend's mobile
01:21:11 Don't worry, she'll be fine.
01:21:13 You reckon?
01:21:15 Goodnight, princess.
01:21:17 Don't forget to change her
01:21:20 Come on, we're late!
01:21:24 See you later, pet.
01:21:26 And don't forget to burp her.
01:21:29 Don't forget.
01:21:31 Bye.
01:21:35 I'll be quick, as I can't hear.
01:21:39 I've no network.
01:21:42 Which wine?
01:21:45 What do you mean, no burp?
01:21:48 She has to burp, we told you!
01:21:53 Okay, massage her tummy.
01:21:58 And then tap her on the back.
01:22:01 No, you tap her...
01:22:03 Can't hear you, I'm hanging up.
01:22:06 Red or white, Philippe?
01:22:08 Pisses me off!
01:22:11 Told her loud and clear.
01:22:13 Nods her head,
01:22:15 How'd you like the lamb?
01:22:17 Rare?
01:22:18 Shit! Did we tell her about Teddy?
01:22:22 - I'll call back.
01:22:23 I'll do it.
01:22:27 Laetitia, it's Manu.
01:22:30 Did you remember
01:22:35 You're an angel. Thanks.
01:22:39 I'll let you go.
01:22:42 See you in a bit.
01:22:44 It's okay.
01:22:49 She did it off her own bat.
01:22:52 But she's so immature, it's scary.
01:22:56 So...
01:22:58 We tell her?
01:23:00 Yes.
01:23:03 Right.
01:23:05 We were thinking...
01:23:10 we'd be really happy
01:23:12 if you'd agree
01:23:23 Something up, Cathy?
01:23:25 Yes, I am.
01:23:28 It's just that...
01:23:30 I don't understand.
01:23:35 Yet here I am sitting pretty,
01:23:38 while you two bugger away!
01:23:43 It's just not fucking fair!
01:23:47 Dammit!
01:23:54 I enjoy contact with children.
01:23:58 I always wanted to have kids,
01:24:05 And as time goes by
01:24:07 I feel an ever deeper need.
01:24:11 I guess it's quite normal.
01:24:14 Why not do this with a man?
01:24:19 Let's say, my personal history
01:24:25 and I don't really want
01:24:27 to base my life
01:24:30 on the hope of a possible meeting.
01:24:33 Fine.
01:24:35 Shall we visit?
01:24:40 This is the kitchen,
01:24:44 entirely fitted.
01:24:47 Fine, perfect.
01:24:50 Excuse me.
01:24:52 My fault.
01:24:56 The bedroom.. .
01:24:59 Nice and bright.
01:25:04 Next to the child's room.
01:25:08 I hope.
01:25:29 She's coming.
01:25:31 There she is.
01:25:34 She's so pretty.
01:25:35 Wonderful.
01:25:36 Isn't she just.
01:25:38 Thanks for the outfit.
01:25:40 Like it?
01:25:41 The outfit?
01:25:42 That we gave them.
01:25:45 Where's Zèlie's mom?
01:25:48 Zèlie's mom?
01:25:53 She's gone.
01:25:55 On a trip.
01:25:57 - To America.
01:25:59 To Japan.
01:26:02 So we're looking after her.
01:26:06 Drop of wine anyone?
01:26:07 Sure, I'll have some.
01:26:11 When's she coming back?
01:26:14 Well, it's not.. .
01:26:17 I don't know.
01:26:18 Nor I.
01:26:20 Kids, why don't you go play
01:26:23 Dad, it's snowing!
01:26:25 - Make a little snowman.
01:26:43 Sleep tight, my beauty.
01:26:45 Nighty-night...
01:26:56 Goodnight, my pet.
