You still have the watch.
Done with the crimes and

Long live the holidays.
Uncle Mathias, why did you
say this watch is worth gold?
It doesn't even show the time.

Henri Dricourt...
wait a second, yes I know.
But Richard Christmann...
I don't know.
I know, the fire... but doesn't

Alright... war is war, but
a crime remains a crime.
Please keep looking for Alice.
Two "M", only one "N".
We're far from Byzance, you know.
What lies ahead is an

We're facing a kind of zero.
I have once encountered
nothingness

You're completely right,
I don't love any nation.
Not the French, not the North

Where did you
steal this watch?
It's not your business.
Give it to me,
or I will denounce you.
No, it is mine.
Oh, you speak German?
You will be useful, my boy.
Yes, but... how much?
And you have studied, too.
What a great find, this Ludovic.
Who told you my first name?
I know everything.
Mr. Obersturmbannfhrer Goldberg
what did you do in
Avenue Foch, 1943?
Leave me alone, horrible kid.
All movement on a plain surface that
is not driven by physical necessity
is a spatial affirmation of oneself
be it building an
Empire, or tourism.
Everyone can do something
so that there is no God.
But what has changed today
is that the assholes are sincere.
A-L-I-S-S-A
Stop being suspicious
of everything.
I'm thinking about what
Ludovic has told us.
Alright... what, for example?
The old man with the young girl.
I have seen them
speak to the Captain.
Alright... and so?
So, the name of the largest
shareholder of the company

Yes... it's the name
of the old man.
Alright...

- Of course.
Major Kamenskaia. I am a friend of
your godmother, Alexandra Irinivna.
Yes, exactly, the old
chief of the Moscow Police.
I have read a number of books...
I have read a number of books
on what she has written.
So... I think that we should talk.
And you think you
will stay in Haifa?
I will see.
They say there's a right to return.
For me it would be... to get away.
In Stanford, what are
you studying, exactly?
I'm directing a seminar. Monetary
creation and literary creation.
You see, still today, they're
asking themselves, in Moscow...
The Spanish Civil War
The Republicans
tell the Comintern
to evacuate the gold
of the Bank of Spain.
The France-Navigation
company, exactly.
When they reach Odessa, one third,
one fourth has disappeared.
And another third in Moscow.
Regarding the first third,
I have my idea.
For the last third
you would have to dig deep
into the communist archives.
Art... and the knife.

Me too, I have learned to

See, I will teach you something.
It's Napoleon.
During the Fire of Moscow,
he signed the decree
for the creation of
the Comdie-Franaise.
I do not understand.
I do not understand.
To understand, Mr. Goldberg,
that is difficult.
I don't care about the Spanish gold
that you have made disappear.
I only have to find the rest.
There's no need to
fear Moscow anymore.
My only true mission,
Mr. Krewitzky...
Ah, what fortune.
My grandmother would say that
as a Yes and as a No.
I don't want to die
before I have seen
Europe happy again
before I have seen the word "Russia"

Once, in 1942, I have
encountered nothingness
and it is much more immense

To be or not to be.
A jew.
Yes, I've been told...
my parents... but so what?
To tell is never enough.
Geometry as origin
The origin is always
what one returns to.
There has been, for decades,
especially in Mathematics
a return of Geometry.
The idea is not that Geometry
would return to its origin
but rather that we return
to Geometry, as origin
and participate in the
return of Geometry.
The poor things.
They have for themselves only
the name that we impose on them.
There's nothing more
convenient than a text.
We have only books
to put into books.
But what if we have to
put reality into a book?
And what if we have to
put reality into reality?
I TURNED AWAY SO AS NOT TO SEE

a while, with a low voice

But this precaution
was unnecessary
they spoke to each other

or a sum of these parts
at a given moment denies, insofar
as each part contains the sum
the part that we consider,
insofar as this part denies
insofar as the sum of these parts,
re-becoming collectively
becomes the collectivity of
these parts joined together
dialectical thought is quite simply
a way of using analytical thought
insofar as it is part of a whole,
insofar as it denies this whole
insofar as the whole includes it,
conditions it and denies it
insofar as, by consequence, it
is both positive and negative
with regards to the whole,
insofar as its movement
must be destructive and preserving

So... Otto Goldberg, Leopold
Krewitzky, and even Moishe Schmcke
according to their passports.
But one pronounces
Richard Christmann...
The French knew him well
since he was working
for the German counter-espionage,
and for their own.
He begins in the
Foreign Legion in Spain
then joins networks of the
Rsistance in occupied Paris
on behalf of the Abwehr.
After the defeat of the Germans,
he still belongs to the rest
of the Organisation Gehlen
... the Algerian FLN
and finally Tunis, representative
of Bayer and Rhne-Poulenc.
Multiple assassination attempts.
Acquitted twice.
Like Henri Dricourt.

No, that's another story.

Is there a single act in the world
of which I could still claim today
that I have done it?
My business, the garage
Catherine wants to sell it.
Her friend wants to buy it.
They know it. I don't.
I know bookkeeping, yes.
France is facing today the
largest risk in its history.
One has to know how to say "We"
Before one can say "I"
A drama that we debate, in
the hope that we can end it.
A tragedy? Not at all.
Everything remains neat.
Everything remains among us.
We ignore each other.
Wars everywhere, for
the last fifty years.
We see ourselves in war
like in a mirror.
One can buy time.
It needs courage
in order to think.
Love your neighbor?
Ridiculous.
You would have to
love yourself enough
to not do bad
to your neighbor.
Today that becomes impossible.
If you follow the law
or if you break it...
Don't say all this, dad.
And I ask you:
Why don't you love us?
Ideas separate us.
But dreams bring us closer...
No, nightmares.
Because there's love and pride
in the blood of the father...
and thus hate.
So what have you found today
to piss us off?
I love my brother, first of all.
We've just debated brotherhood.
And liberty.
- Liberty, before.
And once the hour of equality comes
I will speak to you of shit.
Okay, Flo.
But why don't you love us?
Excuse me, Miss...
Excuse me? Miss, hello..
We want to go to the Cote d'Azur.
Is this the right direction?
Are we on the right way

Straight? Left? Right?
Unbelievable. Scheiss French!
- Scheiss France!
Ach, Germany.
Go, mother...
Go, mom...
Yes. To keep space and
time intact, I have lied.
I neglect to live them.
That's a bit unfair.
That's a bit unfair.
But for me, that seems
to be the way I do it.
I always think that I'm elsewhere
- Forget it.
I always think that I'm elsewhere

Nothing else?
There's a figure, the mother.
For her, it doesn't matter
if she has a life at all.
If one considers the fact to
have a life as a fact by itself.
She will never ask herself,
not once, if she is still alive.
She will never have the idea
to just ask herself
why and how she exists.
After all, she is not aware
that she is this figure
because she is never,
not for a single moment
separated from her role.
She doesn't know that she has one.
The blood of the mother,
full of hate...
loves and remains.

Yes, but I don't have a contract.
Lets speak to your parents.
BALZAC
LOST ILLUSIONS
I'm leaving.
I'll return to the Midi.
And our comrades?
And our comrades?
It will be them who decide.
They will come.
It's for the elections.
I'm filming...
- Forget, my dear, forget.
We have an appointment with them.
- Forget it, madam.
Only two or three minutes
for a declaration.
Who will present it?
- But forget it, forget it.
But your parents have
made an appointment.
What parents?
- We're not making this up.
No, he wanted to say:
What kind of parents?
Mr. and Mrs. Martin,
they are not your parents?
Please don't use the verb "to be".
I don't understand anything at all.
So? - They're not picking up.
- Give it to me.
It's not surprising that
they all have mobiles
to say that they
are not there.
Excuse me... to say
that they have no time.
They really seem to
have a problem...
Finally... use the verb "to have".
Everything will be
better in France.
Did you find that
in Balzac, Flo?
Florine. If you make fun
of Balzac, I will kill you.
Please, Mr... two or three
short questions. - No.
Please, two questions. - No.
One and a half hours late.
Had this project been carried out
the way it was initially planned
it would have, without a doubt,
given France a lasting advantage
with regards to the
digitization of books.
But it's failing dramatically.
Mr... do you want
me to wait for you?
No... you will pick up
the Prince at the airport
and then return to the office.
So?
So?
So... the presidency
"la", not "le"
We'll see.
- It's been seen.
Nothing at all. And our convention?
It's the 4th of August today.
Flo is right.
We'll have to wait a bit.
The show is at 7 pm. We will
still have to do some editing.
Ten minutes.
I will take care of it.
Can I film
while we're waiting?
Nothing at all.
Why don't we present ourselves
at the elections? Florine and I.
Not mama or papa.
They're dreaming. Children
don't have the right
to participate in elections,
not even on the regional level.
Yes, yes, yes... but children
are part of the people.
And it exists, the
will of the people.
We have paid 30% of France's debt.
Because you've grown old.
Exactly the sum of profit
that the insurance companies
make of the debt.
And the beautiful dress,
can I film it?
Yes, why not.
I'm listening.
Today it's not so good.
I had forgotten that.
They're both born
on the same day.
On every birthday
Jean-Jacques and me
we'll accept a debate with them,
based on democratic principles.
And it's them who direct it?
More of less. We have
signed a convention.
But that's great.
We have to film that.
We're working at night.
We're doing what we can.
We're giving what we have.
How long is this going to take?
- 24 hours. It's their right.
So either you wait, or
you come back tomorrow.
We're waiting.
We're waiting.
I will borrow Catherine's car
and I will be back in a bit.
We have to take care
of the Garage.
Oh shit.
Be careful, mom.
Yes... all of you...
I'm able to mess you up.
I will also attack the sun
if one day it attacks me.
I do not have my
heart in my mouth.
Ah? Are we moving
to America now?
No, to England.
Exactly 400 years ago.
Her heart is not in her mouth.
Well, okay. But now,
do you love us or not?
When I speak to myself
I speak the words of someone else
that I speak to myself.
When one hears one's own voice
... where's that from?
No, dad... from here.
- Yes. So?
I'll check the TV.
- No, mom... stay.
The other is oneself.
Oneself is in the other.
And these are the three figures.
- We are four.
There's the law. But you have
rights. At least say it.
We're entering an age
the digital age
where for various reasons
mankind will face problems
that won't offer the luxury
of expressing themselves.
With regards to the

there has to be a

One has to say it.

I count as my friends
those who disapprove of my actions
but not of my existence.
I'm still smiling
but there hasn't been a
reason, for a long time.
My words enter...
They make a mess.
I stay like this.
I've had enough.
Language enters...
The mouth shuts up. It has to
form a straight line now.
It's done.
I've made the image.
Almost all, mathematics,
television...
There are almost as many
as there are numbers.
I don't understand...
why television?
Today, the nervous system
becomes a natural resource.
So in my humble opinion,
Africa is once more out of luck.
But has not become history.
One used to think that.
It doesn't change the fact that
there will always be assholes.
But what is different today
is that the assholes are sincere.
They believe sincerely
in Europe, exactly.
Europe used to be

Ah yes...
The Marriage of Figaro
Yes, Sir!
What we're doing is pathetic.
We're distributing,

We'd know how do it.
Now, with these people here,
I'll try to produce something.
Don't you think so?
She hasn't given you the
sandwich, Flo? Flo, Flo?
Yes? Yes...
Yes, yes, 5 pm.
Do you think this
will take long?
It'll be soon.
As I said, I don't
have any control.
You've heard it. 5 pm.
It'll work out.
Jean-Jaques will leave you
some space? - I hope so.
Ask him if he has a program.
And the unions?
What are they saying?
We'll see. They'll say he's right,
but then they won't do anything.
Anyway, there's nothing to say.
To show, above all. To show
the possible. That's all.
What, for example?
Not by making it readable.
By showing it.
Do you want more power?
No power at all.
A society, not a state.
Excuse me, Florine,
I don't get it.
The dream of the State
is to be one.
The dream of the individual
is to be two.
Lets go, hurry up!
What is she talking?
Make up your mind about what it
is that you're struggling for
because you might well obtain it.
What's this story?
Be cautious, dad!
You're also wearing
a string, like mom?
Lucien! - But I'm curious.
To live or to tell...
We don't have a choice.
I'm going to tell...

There is no-one

Monsieur... what are these images?
So free and yet locked up.
This enormous idea... where figures

Madame... it was space.
And space is dying.
One word, that's enough.

I can tell you too...
We don't love each other anymore.
The General Councils...
it's not simple.
There are no simple elections.
We'd need to have a program.
Yes, obviously... a program.
And do you have one?

To be right.
To keep up hope. To be right.
Since your government is wrong.
To learn to see

It's great, no?
Oh dear... you never listen.

Yes, but there is time.

Nothing moves.
Yes, because it's thinking.
If it takes too long

And so?

what a dictator thinks.
We discover war only once.
But we discover life many times.
A truth that's more loyal, and
one might add, delivered by hand.
Bullfight on the Plaza de Toros.
Everyone was there.
Hemingway, Dos Passos, Orwell.
And then?
After the execution, toreros and
spectators left for the front.
Women. Like all the ones who were
building barricades in
the suburbs of the city
awaiting the offensive.
Simon Weil would later,
after Franco's victory
when she learned the Germans
had taken Paris, declare:
A great day
for Indochina.
You see, with the verb "to be", the
lack of reality becomes flagrant.
For example:
Soon we will be in Barcelona.
It would be better to say:
Barcelona will welcome us soon.
What time is it?
Always the right time.
