Two Days with My Father (Deux jours avec mon père)

It's such a simple thing to love

To smile at life

To let yourself be charmed

When you want to be

To allow our hearts

To leave the window ajar

And let the sun in

It makes us better

And the things we see

So many old people have seen them

Our pain and our joys

So many old people have felt that too

The past has forged

Our love of things

Love has blossomed

Love is such a simple thing

That was beautiful, right, Pipo?

TWO DAYS WITH MY FATHER

Michel?

What are you doing here?

Where are we?

Look at me, Mr. Sermier.

I swear, Doctor, I'm fine.

Looks like it. You'll bury us all.

So I'm free to leave?

We need to figure out why you fell.

We need to do another CT scan tomorrow.

-Then I'll be back. -My pleasure.

Bye!

All right.

I gotta go now.

Michel?

Your mom...

Did you tell her I was here?

Come on, get some rest.

Hello, neighbor!

Neighbor?

Neighbor, it's me. You OK?

Get back to your room.

You better go lie down in your bed and stay put.

Go.

You think you can just get up after a coma?

If you get up again, I'll have to restrain you.

Neighbor?

Shit.

Is he gonna be OK?

Good evening and goodnight

Goodnight

The Moon is rising

And night is back

Let's go to bed

Without a sound

Good evening and goodnight

Goodnight

And we'll sleep

And we'll dream

Of beautiful days and pretty...

Hush.

Pipo?

Is that you?

Where have you been?

Come here. Come here, hush.

Come and hide over here.

Come on, hide.

Yes?

What? What?

No, he's not dead.

-Where is he then? -They moved him to another room.

Maybe.

-Get some rest. -OK.

OK. Can we go now, Mr. Sermier?

Why don't we walk there instead?

So many like you at my school.

Strict and stern, with furrowed eyebrows.

Know what I used to do? I'd make 'em sing.

Because once you've sung with someone, you stop resenting 'em.

-Don't you want to sing with me? -No, no, Mr. Sermier.

Open your hospitable door

My faithful friend, the day is done

By the fireplace in your cottage

I'll happily settle down

We shall spend the night...

Mr. Sermier. Not so loud.

That we could hear singing merrily

While down in the valley

All are fast asleep...

Keep it down, we're entering a zone...

-Friendship, sweet and faithful -You need to keep it down!

Will always bring our hearts together

If we must go through this cruel pain

It makes our pain sweeter

Farewell, I'm leaving, how time flies

May God give you this sweet slumber

Let's walk as friends...

What about him?

Did you tell him?

-Listen, I... -Hush.

Yes, nicely played!

A comeback is still possible.

You were saying?

Hush.

Listen, you...

Oh, no, no!

This is such an upset!

Roger Federer is eliminated in four sets.

They're saying he's washed!

That's not true! It's just one loss!

Roger's a prince, the best right hand in tennis.

The purest! Just wait for the US Open!

Do you understand what I said?

Everything.

I understood everything.

They'll drill a little hole in my skull to check inside.

If it helps them release me...

I gotcha good, huh?

Michel, don't be so mad at me.

-About what? -Well, that's the thing...

I don't know.

See you tomorrow.

And behave yourself.

The doctor's watching you.

I'm watching her.

What? What's wrong?

I didn't know you were such a joker.

I'd forgotten you're such a nice guy.

Those beautiful days filled with love

That's true bliss

And it's so quick, so quick

So quick to fly away

So...

Michel!

Oh, no. When he gets word of this...

Don't worry, Roger.

I'm here.

Yes, you heard me, get some rest.

You'll feel better tomorrow.

Don't lose all hope for Wimbledon, Roger.

You'll get another shot.

They're just a bunch of heartless haters,

those who claim otherwise.

It's the same everywhere, Roger.

But the most important thing is to never give up.

Never give up.

That's the secret.

What can I do to get you to understand?

I'm not Federer.

Yeah, right.

You can't fool us.

We watch all your matches. Right, Pipo?

Are you ready, Mr. Sermier?

What's wrong with him?

Nothing, he's just sedated.

He'll come to soon.

Hey, you OK?

Oh, Roger.

You shouldn't be here.

What about your training, your matches?

Yes, nothing to worry about.

Come with me.

What do you think?

You're right.

Hey!

What are you doing?

I dreamed about it again.

So what?

Where the heck did they put it?

You're insane.

Don't worry, I'll find another pair.

I'm not talking about your shoes!

Stop nagging me, you sound like my wife.

What about your son? Have you thought about him?

Well,

by the time I get back,

he won't even have noticed I'm gone.

That's harsh. He came yesterday evening.

Oh, yeah?

You were sleeping. He didn't want to wake you up.

If I tell him, he'll never let me go.

He worries a lot, just like his mother.

All right, Roger, it was nice to meet you.

-And don't forget Wimbledon... -Wimbledon, yeah. I won't.

Take care, dude!

-Aren't there any guards? -He climbed down the balcony.

I'm really sorry.

-Did you call his home? -Nobody answered.

-What about the biopsy? -I'll have the results tomorrow.

That old dude's got grit.

Why don't you leave him alone?

Because he's sick!

You think he doesn't know that?

Did he tell you something?

What did he say?

Shit. OK.

You seem to care about him.

So?

He told me about a place...

where he used to go as a kid with his gramps

to pick up old rocks.

A place with a lake and a glacier.

Winding away toward the heavens
