Monday in early July, between 3 and 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

Everything is fine? Have a good night's sleep?

Good. Now we'll go down.

Do not rush, I'll have coffee.

Is Marianne all right?

Everything is fine!

Do you think I've changed?

No, not much.

Will we go by car?

No, it's close.

Admire the beautiful scenery.

You can not wait to see everything?

To me - no, but Nicolas is a little excited.

Do not exaggerate.

This is more than the truth.

How did you get here from Montpellier?

By taxi.

Only on it and you can get here.

Marianne, are you angry?

I'm jealous.

Nicolas more interested in Frenhofer than me.

Is he really a genius?

I tried to read about it, but did not find anything.

In the seventy-fourth he threw everything.

He refused to exhibit?

You were not born then, my little mademoiselle.

I wonder how you can live here.

I'm sure it's very good.

After my next exhibition, I'll buy a house even more.

I would not live here.

You change your mind.

Maybe he is on the other side and can not hear us?

Hears and is perfect.

Then I don't know...

Magali, how you grew up!

Do you know where Monsieur and Madame are?

I do not know, Monsieur Porbus, I'm looking for our cat Justine.

Liz! Edward!

Sorry. I help Françoise bake a cake.

Did you come from the hotel on foot?

And, probably, you want to drink. What can I bring you?

It does not matter, if only it was cold.

Need to change...

What about Frenhofer?

Marianne, come here.

What are they doing there?

Maybe they are not happy to see us?

The sense did not burn! There you are...

This is a hall of chimeras,

my favorite, because there is nothing to care for.

Very beautiful.

Impressively.

And there are ghosts in the house?

No, only Frenhofer and I.

It's not a haunted castle.

By the way,

where did you hide Edouard?

I do not know, after breakfast he disappeared.

So strange.

Do you like the garden?

Magali still remains?

- She has a dance lesson. - And the truth. It's a pity.

Have you seen monsieur?

No, madam. Maybe he's in the workshop?

He forgot about us.

Yes, it happens when he thinks about something.

Pleases that he rarely does it.

Maybe we got in the way?

Well, what about you!

So, you found it.

By the way, Balthazar,

I was given a special soap with arsenic

against ants. Is it not dangerous? Can I touch him?

And what did you use before?

DDT mixed with soap.

Well, I would continue.

You're not too early?

Magali!

Take it to your mother,

and this is put on my office. Thank you.

- What day is today? - Monday.

Yes, Monday. And I forgot.

Incredible.

"Mademoiselle..." "This is Marianne."

Marianne...

"Do you remember Nicolas?" "Ah, Nicolas..."

Incredible, I forgot everything.

You meant "ashamed." "Well, I'm sorry."

What a fever!

We have already grown naked.

Now we'll talk.

Let's go inside, it's cooler.

Something strange is happening here. Honestly, Nicolas - strange.

Someday I will place a telescope here.

Which can rotate around its axis.

And then you can see the whole landscape.

Who cares about the landscape, eh, Nicolas?

Come, I want to show you my workshop.

Here.

Here, as in the church.

There was a granary here.

And below - stables.

It is difficult to equip such a workshop, but, Nicolas?

This took many months.

You become distracted.

Do you know why I asked you to come?

Because I'm scared.

- You are scaring me. - We?

Yes, but do not think bad.

Liz and I have a place of stability here,

even happiness.

You have arrived and everything will be broken.

Frenjo, stop it.

Nothing personal, but you are involved in all this.

Have you been drinking from Roussel?

If you have come, you will understand everything and become unhappy.

I admire your work.

And you yourself invited me here.

Of course of course.

You want to see everything, learn everything.

You are more interested in painting than I do. - Yes it is.

There's something new?

Not for you, old canal.

The latest are here.

And upstairs.

But everything is in a mess.

Do not want to get up? It's cute there.

This one is very unusual.

Not bad, but nothing special.

Bloodless... and in the canvas should be blood.

Is not that too categorical?

No, in the "Beautiful debater" there is blood.

What kind of "Beautiful debatable"?

We do not know anything about it.

It's not bad.

I like it too.

Can you see the "Beautiful Spirits"?

It does not exist. This is just an unrealized idea.

She exists.

What?

She should be here.

And why is it so called - "Beautiful debatable"?

In the seventeenth century there was such a courtesan.

Her name was Katrin Lesko, and she had an amazing life.

I read about it, and after that I wanted to write something.

Write a picture about it.

It was three in the morning, but I did not sleep.

Because of me.

Yes, it's your fault.

My?

A beautiful debater is you.

Why exactly "debatable"?

She was very fond of arguing.

"Do you also know about this?" Yes.

You know,

when I was a little one told me this when I argued.

Yes, beautiful.

- So, the picture exists. - No, I already said!

If Nicholas had forgotten me, I would not have stayed with him.

Do you love him?

Frenjo, what are your manners, ask such questions!

But I'm interested!

Let's drink.

Lechaim!

On health!

Excellent wine.

Thank you.

In a married life its own charm.

It's a shame that my father pushed his wife under the TGV .

And after that, he hanged himself in the house...

over there.

Countess Du Zes...

Do I correctly pronounce it?

Also committed suicide in the house.

In short, all the children finished poorly.

There were twelve of them, they studied at a rural school.

So you love Nicolas.

And he loves you, it shows.

Do not be angry, he is always so unceremonious.

I'm not angry, I'm listening.

And you agree that painting is more important to him than you?

He never painted you?

In any case, if he

will not finish his work, will not go to the end...

I'll give it up.

Why do not I go to the end?

We are looking for the truth in painting, but the truth is cruel.

Beautiful words, but you did not lose me.
