:36:01
Except when l was expecting.
:36:04
Do you believe in motherly love?
:36:07
Ah, l forgot. You don't have kids.
You couldn't know.

:36:12
Maternal love, like in books or
songs, like we're taught at school.

:36:17
l believed in it when l got married.
:36:20
One day l'd have children.
:36:23
A nice idea, part of a whole:
a home, a family.

:36:27
When l learned l was pregnant
l was confused.

:36:31
l didn't expect it so soon.
:36:34
Married just 2 years, and now
everyone only spoke of the chiId.

:36:39
Even before its birth
l was the mother.

:36:43
Maybe l was jealous.
:36:45
But l don't really think so.
:36:47
For me, marriage was 2
and we were already 3!

:36:51
Yeah! They took care of me.
:36:53
My health failed.
And that's when they took over.

:36:57
They would have kept me in bed.
My mother-in-law

:37:00
came up from Lyon.
:37:01
Very well, my child. Above all,
no stress. Think of the baby,

:37:06
and follow Doctor's orders.
:37:16
At night Guy brought flowers
and stayed 30, 45 minutes.

:37:21
But he had nothing to say.
:37:30
They were so impatient
:37:32
they brought me to the clinic
48 hours early.

:37:36
l was afraid that l'd pay
for all the harm l'd done.

:37:41
And yet, l rebelled.
Very confusing.

:37:46
Yes, l understand.
:37:48
You do? No, l don't
think that's possible.

:37:51
Why, yes. l understand.
:37:54
Anyway. The child was born.
lt was a girl.

:37:57
Everyone pretended to be happy.
:37:59
My husband seemed so loving.
l was thrilled.
