In the short break between performances in Calais, stage actress Alix, played by the stunning Emmanuelle Devos (Desplechin's CHRISTMAS TALE), makes a quick escape to Paris. On the train, she meets a mysterious English stranger. Drawn toward him, she follows him, loves him, for a few hours, before facing what could be a new life. With masterful performances by Devos and her acclaimed co-star Gabriel Byrne, JUST A SIGH is an imaginative and lushly filmed Parisian romance.
Young and versatile director Jerome Bonnell (LE CHIGNON D'OLGA) tells a real-time story with a particular sense for detail. Reminiscent of Francois Truffaut's THE WOMAN NEXT DOOR, the film captures vivid insights of a burning love evolving between two characters, wonderfully brought together by Bonnell's down-to-earth approach. JUST A SIGH captures an irrational, sentimental encounter balanced between the extremes of elopement and routine, with breathtaking psychological intrigue.
"Critic's Pick! A contemporary Gallic BRIEF ENCOUNTER. Beautifully acted! Intimate and persuasive! ... The chemistry between Ms. Devos and Mr. Byrne is heated in a sadder-but-wiser, grown-up way."—The New York Times
"Emmanuelle Devos—pricky, vulnerable, maddening and touching—reigns supreme."—The Village Voice
"Bracingly romantic."—The Los Angeles Times
"A complex and pure character study."—The Film Stage

00:12:08.231 --> 00:12:12.083
- I\'m trying to get to the
Church of Sainte-Clotilde,
00:12:13.345 --> 00:12:15.862
near, it\'s in the rue Casimir Perier.
00:12:15.863 --> 00:12:18.639
What\'s the best way to get there?
00:12:18.640 --> 00:12:19.969
By metro?
00:12:19.970 --> 00:12:23.244
- Yes, it\'s definitely faster by metro,
00:12:23.245 --> 00:12:24.662
but let me think.
00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:27.419
- Sorry sir, you want to go
00:12:27.420 --> 00:12:28.539
to the Church of Sainte-Clotilde?
00:12:28.540 --> 00:12:30.119
- Yes, yes.
00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:31.609
- Take the line four metro
00:12:31.610 --> 00:12:34.919
here at the station to Montparnasse.
00:12:34.920 --> 00:12:39.609
Then line 12, direction
Porte de la Chapelle.
00:12:39.610 --> 00:12:41.319
Get off at Solferino.
00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:42.709
- [Doug] Solferino, yes.
00:12:42.710 --> 00:12:45.449
- It will take you about half an hour.
00:12:45.450 --> 00:12:46.450
It\'s nearby.
00:12:47.640 --> 00:12:48.726
Do you want me to write it down for you?
00:12:48.727 --> 00:12:49.980
- No, no, no, that\'s fine, I\'ve got it.
00:12:49.981 --> 00:12:51.892
Thank you, you\'ve been
very kind, thank you.
00:12:51.893 --> 00:12:53.310

00:30:02.341 --> 00:30:03.655
- He said everyone is...
00:30:03.656 --> 00:30:04.823
- Yes, I know.
00:30:06.789 --> 00:30:09.661
(speaking foreign language)
00:30:09.662 --> 00:30:11.412
Thank you, thank you.
00:30:28.125 --> 00:30:30.708
(bell tolling)
00:31:48.583 --> 00:31:50.319
- [Rodolphe] Lucy didn\'t come?
00:31:50.320 --> 00:31:53.273
- No, no, she, she\'s staying in Maidstone.
00:31:54.750 --> 00:31:55.850
She couldn\'t get away.
00:31:57.240 --> 00:31:59.578
Just as well, I suppose.
00:31:59.579 --> 00:32:01.397
- Are you staying a few days?
00:32:01.398 --> 00:32:03.009
- [Doug] No, I\'m leaving tomorrow.
00:32:03.010 --> 00:32:04.310
- Where are you staying?
00:32:04.311 --> 00:32:05.749
- Little hotel around the corner,
00:32:05.750 --> 00:32:08.145
the Escalupe hotel.
00:32:08.146 --> 00:32:08.979
- [Rodolphe] Esculape.
00:32:08.979 --> 00:32:09.812
- Esculape, yes.
00:32:09.813 --> 00:32:11.561
(chuckling)
00:32:11.562 --> 00:32:12.645
You\'re lucky.
00:34:38.315 --> 00:34:40.565
(coughing)
00:36:09.970 --> 00:36:11.269
No, thanks.
00:36:11.270 --> 00:36:12.270
I quit.
00:36:15.970 --> 00:36:16.970
How do you feel?
00:36:20.072 --> 00:36:21.739
- Pretty devastated.
00:36:22.940 --> 00:36:24.543
But calm.
00:36:27.300 --> 00:36:28.809
- Do you mind me asking?
00:36:28.810 --> 00:36:31.007
- No, no, not at all.
00:36:36.760 --> 00:36:37.960
Can I ask you something?
00:36:38.890 --> 00:36:39.890
- Sure.
00:36:41.650 --> 00:36:43.670
- Why did you come here today?
00:36:48.873 --> 00:36:50.873
- I honestly don\'t know.
00:37:01.870 --> 00:37:02.870
I should go.
00:37:04.316 --> 00:37:05.316
It\'s better.
00:37:07.895 --> 00:37:08.966
(speaking foreign language)
00:37:08.967 --> 00:37:11.134
I\'ll go pay for my coffee.
00:39:01.776 --> 00:39:02.776
I\'m ashamed.
00:39:06.502 --> 00:39:07.835
You disappeared.
00:39:14.646 --> 00:39:15.979
You were hungry?
00:39:24.123 --> 00:39:27.983
- When I was five or six
years of age in Maidstone,
00:39:30.030 --> 00:39:33.823
I had a huge crush on my
elder brother\'s girlfriend.
00:39:34.720 --> 00:39:36.803
Her name was Norma Tisdale.
00:39:37.920 --> 00:39:40.259
One day, my mother invited her to lunch
00:39:40.260 --> 00:39:43.345
and we were seated beside each other.
00:39:43.346 --> 00:39:47.423
I didn\'t know what to do,
I was panicked, breathless.
00:39:48.320 --> 00:39:50.389
And I reached out and I drank
00:39:50.390 --> 00:39:52.139
what I thought was a glass of water
00:39:52.140 --> 00:39:53.713
but it was gin.
00:39:55.762 --> 00:39:57.412
And then, she looked into my eyes
00:39:58.490 --> 00:40:02.453
I threw up all over her beautiful shoes.
00:40:03.670 --> 00:40:04.503
Few minutes later,
00:40:04.504 --> 00:40:06.409
I went to the bathroom
and I was washing my face
00:40:06.410 --> 00:40:10.069
and Norma Tisdale came in
00:40:10.070 --> 00:40:11.120
and she looked at me.
00:40:12.756 --> 00:40:14.913
And I was so ashamed.
00:40:16.180 --> 00:40:18.359
Anyway, a few months later they broke up
00:40:18.360 --> 00:40:19.660
and I never saw her again.
00:40:20.830 --> 00:40:21.920
But I still wonder
00:40:23.120 --> 00:40:23.960
if I threw up on her
00:40:23.961 --> 00:40:26.229
because I didn\'t want
my brother to have her
00:40:26.230 --> 00:40:29.847
or because I wanted to be
alone in the bathroom with her.
00:40:32.520 --> 00:40:33.763
- Both, probably.
00:40:36.227 --> 00:40:37.227
And probably
00:40:38.400 --> 00:40:41.693
so she\'d remember you
for the rest of her life.
00:40:44.537 --> 00:40:47.249
(light choral music)
(singing in foreign language)
00:40:47.250 --> 00:40:48.650
Why are you telling me this?
00:40:50.760 --> 00:40:53.023
- Because on the scale of shame,
00:40:54.000 --> 00:40:55.673
you have a very long way to go.
00:40:57.670 --> 00:41:00.359
- Yes, but you were just a child.
00:41:00.360 --> 00:41:02.909
- [Doug] You haven\'t thrown up on me yet.
00:41:02.910 --> 00:41:03.910
- Trying not to.
00:41:14.410 --> 00:41:15.860
- I have chosen to forget it.
00:41:20.920 --> 00:41:22.173
Today is a painful day.
00:41:24.320 --> 00:41:25.693
I\'m not very good at pain.
00:41:28.177 --> 00:41:29.177
- Who is?
00:41:34.266 --> 00:41:35.579
(sighing)
00:41:35.580 --> 00:41:37.129
I\'d like to walk a little.
00:41:37.130 --> 00:41:38.308
Would you?
00:41:38.309 --> 00:41:39.889
It\'ll do us good.
00:41:39.890 --> 00:41:41.269
Would you like to join me?
00:41:41.270 --> 00:41:43.099
We can meet up with the others later.
00:41:43.100 --> 00:41:47.957
- Yes, of course.
00:41:50.850 --> 00:41:53.189
- Yes, I just got to get
something in my room,
00:41:53.190 --> 00:41:54.440
I\'ll be back in a moment.
00:43:27.428 --> 00:43:30.345
(elevator dinging)
00:44:25.081 --> 00:44:27.331

00:44:29.930 --> 00:44:32.847
(knocking on door)
00:44:42.015 --> 00:44:44.640
(knocking on door)
00:44:44.641 --> 00:44:47.641
(breathing heavily)
00:44:58.226 --> 00:45:00.893
(door clicking)
00:45:09.565 --> 00:45:10.565
He is,
00:45:12.802 --> 00:45:15.951
he is quite a character,
your friend Rodolphe.
00:45:15.952 --> 00:45:17.076
(Doug laughing)
00:45:17.077 --> 00:45:19.160
- [Doug] Yes, yes, he is.
00:45:23.847 --> 00:45:26.949
- [Alix] That\'s a lot
of solitude for one man.
00:45:26.950 --> 00:45:29.679
- Well, he\'s,
00:45:29.680 --> 00:45:30.680
he is a professor.
00:45:32.770 --> 00:45:33.770
Like me.
00:45:40.589 --> 00:45:43.256
(door clicking)
00:46:08.382 --> 00:46:10.639
- [Alix] Do you teach economy?
00:46:10.640 --> 00:46:11.923
- [Doug] No, literature.
00:47:34.363 --> 00:47:37.363
(breathing heavily)
00:47:46.123 --> 00:47:47.123
- Sorry.
00:48:13.501 --> 00:48:18.501

00:48:18.975 --> 00:48:21.808

(knocking on door)
00:49:42.573 --> 00:49:45.490
(knocking on door)
00:49:52.971 --> 00:49:55.221

00:50:02.471 --> 00:50:05.471
(breathing heavily)
00:50:08.788 --> 00:50:10.955
(gasping)
00:50:27.429 --> 00:50:29.596
(gasping)
00:50:54.024 --> 00:50:56.191
(gasping)
00:51:23.666 --> 00:51:26.666
(breathing heavily)
00:52:23.867 --> 00:52:25.569
- Did you take the ferry?
00:52:25.570 --> 00:52:27.283
- I hate airplanes.
00:52:27.284 --> 00:52:29.762
- And what about the Eurostar?
00:52:29.763 --> 00:52:32.209
- If there\'s one thing
worse than an airplane,
00:52:32.210 --> 00:52:33.903
it\'s a tunnel under the sea.
00:52:36.180 --> 00:52:39.226
Honestly, I would have swum
or walked here, if I could.
00:52:39.227 --> 00:52:41.560
(chuckling)
00:52:48.200 --> 00:52:49.200
And what about you?
00:52:51.627 --> 00:52:52.627
Are you from Calais?
00:52:54.770 --> 00:52:55.820
Do you live in Paris?
00:52:59.650 --> 00:53:02.803
Do you spend a lot of time in
hotel rooms with strangers?
00:53:08.910 --> 00:53:10.460
So what kind of work do you do?
00:53:14.907 --> 00:53:17.240
You\'re not speaking anymore.
00:53:19.136 --> 00:53:21.303
(sighing)
00:53:26.710 --> 00:53:27.710
Schoolteacher?
00:53:28.734 --> 00:53:31.234
(Alix laughs)
00:53:34.976 --> 00:53:37.309
(mumbling)
00:53:37.310 --> 00:53:38.449
Slave driver?
00:53:38.450 --> 00:53:40.700
(laughing)
00:53:44.767 --> 00:53:48.567
(sighing dramatically)
00:53:48.568 --> 00:53:49.568
Actress?
00:53:50.282 --> 00:53:51.115
- [Alix] Yes.
00:53:51.116 --> 00:53:53.009
- You\'re an actress?
00:53:53.010 --> 00:53:54.301
I see.
00:53:54.302 --> 00:53:55.135
Now I don\'t know whether
00:53:55.136 --> 00:53:57.020
you\'re telling lies or telling the truth.
00:53:59.200 --> 00:54:00.736
- [Alix] I could say
the same thing to you.
00:54:00.737 --> 00:54:04.459
- No, I say it because you\'re an actress.
00:54:04.460 --> 00:54:06.293
- I said it because you\'re a man.
00:54:07.770 --> 00:54:08.770
- Ah, touche.
00:54:11.631 --> 00:54:14.548
- To answer a cliche with a cliche.
00:54:27.627 --> 00:54:30.909
Was Rodolphe in love with Patricia?
00:54:30.910 --> 00:54:32.733
I get the impression he was.
00:54:33.700 --> 00:54:36.759
- I suppose we all were.
00:54:36.760 --> 00:54:38.710
We were at the Sorbonne many years ago.
00:54:40.180 --> 00:54:41.803
We all wanted to be writers.
00:54:43.520 --> 00:54:45.520
She was a professor like the rest of us.
00:54:47.780 --> 00:54:49.989
But she was the artist.
00:54:49.990 --> 00:54:52.490
She was the only one who
dedicated her life to it.
00:54:55.520 --> 00:54:57.069
- You lived in Paris?
00:54:57.070 --> 00:54:59.293
- [Doug] Yes, for a few months.
00:55:01.542 --> 00:55:03.875
- What happened to Patricia?
00:55:04.750 --> 00:55:07.400
- [Doug] She was a little
too much in love with life,
00:55:09.380 --> 00:55:10.447
with the dark side
00:55:15.415 --> 00:55:18.168
and she didn\'t care to grow old.
00:55:18.169 --> 00:55:20.448
- Hmm, I can understand that.
00:55:20.449 --> 00:55:21.979
- [Doug] Yes.
00:55:21.980 --> 00:55:23.933
Her drug of choice was Calvados.
00:55:26.730 --> 00:55:28.783
- She must have been in love a lot.
00:55:33.380 --> 00:55:34.403
Did she love you?
00:55:35.350 --> 00:55:36.613
- She could never say it.
00:55:38.552 --> 00:55:40.469
- [Alix] And could you?
00:55:42.035 --> 00:55:43.535
- About 800 times.
00:55:58.093 --> 00:56:03.093
Why did you follow me?
00:56:04.173 --> 00:56:06.256
- Because you seemed sad.
00:56:09.049 --> 00:56:10.716
Because I wanted to.
00:56:11.635 --> 00:56:13.175
- [Doug] Really?
00:56:13.176 --> 00:56:14.176
Is that all?
00:56:20.637 --> 00:56:23.192
- I didn\'t follow you.
00:56:23.193 --> 00:56:24.475
I went and found you.
00:56:24.476 --> 00:56:26.143
It\'s very different.
00:56:29.756 --> 00:56:31.053
(Alix sighing)
00:56:31.054 --> 00:56:33.415
You have a good face.
00:56:33.416 --> 00:56:35.677
(Doug sighs)
00:56:35.678 --> 00:56:36.678
Mmm.
00:56:37.973 --> 00:56:39.723
I love your eyebrows!
00:56:42.293 --> 00:56:43.293
- And I love
00:56:45.129 --> 00:56:46.129
your jaw.
00:56:48.152 --> 00:56:50.330
It\'s a gregarious jaw.
00:56:50.331 --> 00:56:51.874
(laughs)
00:56:51.875 --> 00:56:54.245
It\'s a serious jaw.
00:56:54.246 --> 00:56:55.079
(laughing)
00:56:55.080 --> 00:56:56.392
- Don\'t make fun of me.
00:56:56.393 --> 00:56:59.976
- [Doug] No, no, I\'m
not making fun of you.
00:57:14.547 --> 00:57:19.547
- Oh, only with strangers.
00:57:20.426 --> 00:57:23.843
(light orchestral music)
00:57:27.615 --> 00:57:28.948
I\'m sorry but I,
00:57:30.399 --> 00:57:31.399
I have to...
00:57:37.055 --> 00:57:38.472
- To make a call?
00:57:40.555 --> 00:57:41.555
- Yes.
00:59:46.296 --> 00:59:49.296
(voicemail beeping)
01:00:01.009 --> 01:00:03.676

01:07:50.605 --> 01:07:51.605
Huh?
01:08:10.431 --> 01:08:12.681

(head thudding)
01:11:12.075 --> 01:11:13.075

01:11:40.992 --> 01:11:45.992

(speaking foreign language)
01:15:17.195 --> 01:15:19.518
Did you wonder where I went?
01:15:19.519 --> 01:15:20.519
- Yes.
01:15:21.339 --> 01:15:23.172
- [Alix] I wasn\'t far.
01:15:25.278 --> 01:15:26.778
- What did you do?
01:15:27.855 --> 01:15:29.105
- Nothing much.
01:15:35.430 --> 01:15:37.430
- I was looking for you.
01:15:40.213 --> 01:15:41.963
Don\'t you believe me?
01:15:46.991 --> 01:15:48.887
- I came to say goodbye to you.
01:15:48.888 --> 01:15:50.221
- [Doug] I know.
01:15:52.415 --> 01:15:55.248
- I came to tell you to take care.
01:15:57.797 --> 01:15:58.943
- And you too.
01:16:03.560 --> 01:16:07.020
- There\'s something I
should explain, but I...
01:16:08.261 --> 01:16:10.511
- [Doug] You don\'t have to.
01:16:13.679 --> 01:16:17.346
(dramatic orchestral music)
01:16:31.779 --> 01:16:34.696
(elevator dinging)
01:17:23.539 --> 01:17:26.919
- [Alix] This is the first time
01:17:26.920 --> 01:17:28.763
I\'ve cheated on my boyfriend.
01:17:31.619 --> 01:17:32.619
- Oh.
01:17:37.420 --> 01:17:39.693
I don\'t think I want to know that.
01:17:39.694 --> 01:17:41.117
(Alix sighing)
01:17:41.118 --> 01:17:42.368
- [Alix] Sorry.
01:17:43.851 --> 01:17:44.851
I\'m sorry.
01:17:50.150 --> 01:17:51.200
- Do you feel guilty?
01:17:54.034 --> 01:17:55.034
- No,
01:17:55.945 --> 01:17:57.612
it\'s something else.
01:18:05.604 --> 01:18:06.687
I\'m pregnant.
01:18:09.305 --> 01:18:10.305
- Already?
01:18:12.037 --> 01:18:14.916
(Alix laughing)
01:18:14.917 --> 01:18:16.417
- No, I\'m serious.
01:18:19.030 --> 01:18:20.553
It\'s been seven weeks now.
01:18:22.850 --> 01:18:24.250
It\'s my first time.
01:18:29.036 --> 01:18:31.369
- Have you seen a doctor?
01:18:31.370 --> 01:18:32.370
- Yes.
01:18:35.140 --> 01:18:36.933
But I still haven\'t told anyone.
01:18:38.540 --> 01:18:40.243
Not even my boyfriend.
01:18:41.875 --> 01:18:46.875
I can\'t bring myself to.
01:18:47.833 --> 01:18:49.693
I\'ve never had a child.
01:18:51.900 --> 01:18:53.300
I always thought I couldn\'t.
01:18:56.010 --> 01:18:59.030
For a while it was hard for me, very hard.
01:19:04.097 --> 01:19:05.597
I\'d even given up.
01:19:11.196 --> 01:19:12.433
After all these years,
01:19:13.296 --> 01:19:17.683
it\'s like the gods have sent
me on some kind of mission.
01:19:21.010 --> 01:19:22.560
- [Doug] Do you believe in God?
01:19:24.960 --> 01:19:27.689
- No, I don\'t believe in God.
01:19:27.690 --> 01:19:29.307
I believe in gods.
01:19:30.460 --> 01:19:31.460
All over,
01:19:32.620 --> 01:19:33.620
everywhere.
01:19:35.100 --> 01:19:37.183
Do you have any children?
01:19:38.081 --> 01:19:39.081
How many?
01:19:49.041 --> 01:19:51.708
(Alix laughing)
01:19:52.671 --> 01:19:55.612
- They\'ve had time to love me,
01:19:55.613 --> 01:19:57.132
to hate me,
01:19:57.133 --> 01:19:58.933
to accept me.
01:19:58.934 --> 01:20:00.267
They\'re big now.
01:20:04.306 --> 01:20:05.306
- No.
01:20:06.252 --> 01:20:07.252
No.
01:20:09.334 --> 01:20:11.952
What are you afraid of?
01:20:11.953 --> 01:20:13.453
- To lack courage,
01:20:14.486 --> 01:20:15.903
to lack serenity.
01:20:18.203 --> 01:20:20.063
Up until now, there were two things
01:20:20.064 --> 01:20:22.439
that didn\'t exist for me.
01:20:22.440 --> 01:20:24.363
The past and the future.
01:20:25.770 --> 01:20:27.733
- Nobody expects you to have serenity.
01:20:32.110 --> 01:20:34.163
And as for not having what it takes,
01:20:35.060 --> 01:20:36.960
I know that you have more than enough.
01:20:40.610 --> 01:20:41.753
You\'ll be happy.
01:20:54.860 --> 01:20:56.013
- For a moment,
01:20:57.820 --> 01:21:00.800
I almost suggested that you
come to England with me.
01:21:07.122 --> 01:21:08.872
- What held you back?
01:21:11.923 --> 01:21:14.442
- [Doug] I can read the answer
01:21:14.443 --> 01:21:15.526
in your eyes.
01:21:20.086 --> 01:21:22.003
- You can read my eyes?
01:21:25.280 --> 01:21:28.030
(shower running)
01:21:50.434 --> 01:21:53.017
(bell tolling)
01:22:35.900 --> 01:22:37.603
Let\'s go get some fresh air.
01:22:42.580 --> 01:22:44.959
- What are you going to do in Calais?
01:22:44.960 --> 01:22:47.234
- Back to Ibsen, I hope.
01:22:47.235 --> 01:22:48.090
- Hmm.
01:22:48.091 --> 01:22:49.490
Some guys have all the luck.
01:22:51.237 --> 01:22:53.468
I wish I was dead and Norwegian.
01:22:53.469 --> 01:22:56.119
(Alix chuckling)
01:22:56.120 --> 01:22:58.070
- You\'re going to be exhausted tonight.
01:22:59.000 --> 01:23:01.491
You\'ll fall asleep in
your plate of snails.
01:23:01.492 --> 01:23:03.189
(Doug chuckling)
01:23:03.190 --> 01:23:04.023
- And what about you?
01:23:04.023 --> 01:23:05.023
Aren\'t you tired?
01:23:05.900 --> 01:23:09.393
- Yes, but, I have a good cervelet.
01:23:13.272 --> 01:23:15.483
- Uh, cervelet, I don\'t know, what is it?
01:23:16.560 --> 01:23:19.869
- It allows you to go easily
from one state to another.
01:23:19.870 --> 01:23:21.880
Cervelet is like a little brain.
01:23:21.881 --> 01:23:23.300
- [Doug] Ah, so you have a little brain?
01:23:23.301 --> 01:23:24.800
- No, I hope not.
01:23:24.801 --> 01:23:26.678
- So that\'s why you\'re never tired?
01:23:26.679 --> 01:23:30.119
- No, it\'s like a little brain,
01:23:30.120 --> 01:23:31.835
in the brain.
01:23:31.836 --> 01:23:33.678
(beeping)
01:23:33.679 --> 01:23:37.346
(speaking foreign language)
01:23:44.817 --> 01:23:47.067
(laughing)
01:23:48.642 --> 01:23:49.820
- [Alix] If you keep eating only apples,
01:23:49.821 --> 01:23:52.029
you\'re going to grow a tree in your belly!
01:23:52.030 --> 01:23:53.280
- What is that?
01:23:57.711 --> 01:23:58.544
- Is that me?
01:23:58.544 --> 01:23:59.377
- [Alix] Mmm-hmm.
01:23:59.378 --> 01:24:00.465
Are you horrified?
01:24:00.466 --> 01:24:02.049
- No, I think it\'s,
01:24:03.264 --> 01:24:05.428
I think it\'s flattering.
01:24:05.429 --> 01:24:06.664
Can I keep it?
01:24:06.665 --> 01:24:08.226

01:31:48.585 --> 01:31:49.585

01:31:51.317 --> 01:31:53.980

It\'s strange!

I\'m nervous for you.

01:34:17.080 --> 01:34:18.333
Everyone acts.

I\'m no less an actor than you
in front of your students.

you call me by my name.

With other gods to watch over us.

(Alix sighing)
01:35:38.626 --> 01:35:40.293

isn\'t it?
01:36:05.689 --> 01:36:07.522
