Holly

Mito.

Mito.

My friend.

What would it be like up there?

Up there, in that apartment.

- It's a beautiful view for sure. - True.

What the fuck is that dog doing here?

- He's six. - OK.

- What did you have for lunch? - Your mum.

Why don't you take your brother with you?

I'm not her brother.

I'm a friend.

Whatever.

Sure, but don't you need to put him on a leash?

- We're going. - Bye, bye.

Come with us, Mito.

What the fuck.

Dawn.

Dawn.

Fuck you Trolly.

- What an awful smell. - Fuck yes, unbearable.

I wanted to have a chat with you because your results worry me a bit.

You seem a little absent minded in class, so...

I wanted to know if you're doing all right?

Do you feel good at school?

Do you have a lot of friends?

Only my sister and Bart.

Holly... are you being bullied sometimes?

Sometimes.

Not when my sister is with me.

How do you feel about those people?

I don't know.

I don't think they really...

I feel pity for them.

Holly, I'm aware this is a strange question but...

I overhear things here and there of course.

Do they sometimes call you the witch?

No.

Holly Meyers.

3C2.

I just can't come to school.

My mum's already left.

I really can't come to school today.

I've got a bad feeling.

It's just not possible. I just can't.

I think... I just think...

I just think it's better we don't go to school today.

Bad things are going to happen today.

I've got... It's a bad, bad day.

NINE MONTHS LATER

I've touched Holly.

The curse of the witch.

Yikes, the curse of the witch.

Don't touch me. I don't want it.

- Keep it for yourself. - Behave yourself.

Holly's curse. And that Holly smell.

Are you not well?

Are you not feeling well?

Maybe you should go inside for a bit?

- Eric, am I interrupting? - No.

Did you give my proposition about the bus excursion any thought?

Err, yes, yes.

Obviously, I'm not a trauma specialist

but I don't know if it's wise to spark memories of the fire again.

- All those feelings that will come up. - Absolutely, that's true,

you're right, but...

at the same time people have the need to share their grief.

Sorry.

Yes, yes...

- Yes. Yes? - And...

Yes, yes.

Nature is such a healing force.

It's so important to use that force.

- Yes, of course, nature is very... - I firmly believe...

- I believe nature can help us. - For sure.

For sure it can.

No you don't!

- I had to stand in the hallway. - You can't. Go back in class.

- What's this? - The cleaning lady sent me back in.

Back in the hallway!

Last week, we were talking about the French revolution.

Not yet I said!

...compared to... What?

...and created a commune. So...

OK, Holly. I'll explain our projects a bit.

Myself, and a couple of other volunteers...

are offering help and assistance to people in need.

I'm organising, or choosing these projects...

and am looking for people who can or want to help.

I was wondering if you would like to be one of our volunteers?

What do I have to do?

Well, the next project we're organising is an excursion by bus.

We're organising it with the school

for the relatives of the victims of the fire.

What I need is practical help.

Carrying things, handing out stuff, making sandwiches.

That sort of thing.

- OK. - Yes?

You'd like to do it?

Yes.

That's really nice. That's wonderful.

That's great.

Lovely.

Girls...

From now on, Holly is a part of our team.

And I have this for you.

VOLUNTEER

Thank you.

This is the right time.

Can't I eat first?

It's just that I need to go in 15 minutes.

First of all, I would like to welcome you all.

to this remarkable excursion.

It's a trip we're making together

to reflect, but also, to be grateful.

And most of all, to come closer to those we have lost.

The terrible drama at our school

has taken away our loved ones,

but I'm also convinced that now is the time

to continue and to have faith

in the future.

I wish you all a very nice day.

Can you please change the music?

Thank you.

Nice to feel the sun.

Do you remember the girl who made the strange phone call

- on the day of the fire? - Yes.

She joined us as a volunteer.

There's something very special about her.

As if she...

can somehow release people of their grief.

I know that sounds weird.

Miss? How do you call a black man on the moon?

I don't know.

An astronaut.

What else? Racist.

Bart, calm down.

Try to remember.

What went wrong?

- Nothing. - You can't say that.

Yes, I can.

You can't say that. Look at your mum. Bart.

- Remember my advice. Count to five. - One, two...

Three, four, five.

- OK? - No, I'm not OK.

I wanna go home.

Enough, calm down. Breathe.

- I always do everything well. - Breathe in and out.

- Bart, that's not on. - Alright.

You can't just have an angry outburst

whenever somebody says something you don't like. It's not on.

I'm not doing anything wrong.

Can we talk about it now?

- No. - Bart, calm down.

Let's just calm down.

Try to sit down. No, Bart.

They're real classics. Cinderella, Pinocchio etc.

Five euro.

Scrooge!

Yes or no?

Whatever. Give me five then.

I want this to open.

If it doesn't, it doesn't.

Let's have a look at that.

If we hold them close to each other we will connect.

- We are connected. - Yeah, look.

Sir, how much is this?

15 euro.

That's a pity.

This is the clip from the sports day.

Three weeks before the fire.

Sofie's standing by herself.

She's a bit down.

There's Holly.

She's packing her stuff.

Now something's about to happen.

Look what's about to happen.

Wait... it's going to happen now.

Look.

Holly touches her and...

suddenly her mood changes completely.

She's looking relieved and happy now.

Incredible, right? Happy.

The way she laughs. That moment.

I'll show it again. I can keep watching it.

Holly, I would like to ask you something.

Do you remember Sofie, who has died in the fire?

Her mother joined us on the bus trip,

and she would like to see you again.

- Would that be OK? - Why?

She'd love to talk to you.

- I can come along if you want. - OK.

OK? I'll arrange it.

The night after the bus trip, I had an unusual dream.

Sofie came to me...

and said she was fine.

And that you were with her, and took care of her.

When I said you were here, and not in heaven,

she answered you sometimes visited her...

and could go back and forth between here and heaven.
