00:30I'm going to sing you a song, I'm going to sing you a song, I'm going to sing you a song,
00:37I'm going to sing you a song, I'm going to sing you a song, I'm going to sing you a song,
00:44I'm going to sing you a song, I'm going to sing you a song, I'm going to sing you a song,
00:51I'm going to sing you a song, I'm going to sing you a song, I'm going to sing you a song,
00:58I'm going to sing you a song, I'm going to sing you a song.
01:28We don't order you to complain.
01:30Do you want to trade places?
01:32I'll give you my black pearl.
01:34You'll give me your black pearl against my lucky agate?
01:37You want to laugh?
01:39Why aren't the children in class?
01:41Your Majesty, it's recess.
01:43We always have a little fun in the afternoon.
01:45Okay, so stop having fun now.
01:47On the longboard. Louis, everyone.
01:49Go, go, go.
01:51I must inform you of an important news.
01:58I have just concluded an arrangement with the Prince of Burma.
02:01In exactly seven days,
02:03Prince Chulalongkorn
02:05will be married.
02:15Well, what happened, Louis?
02:17Nothing at all?
02:21When you say nothing at all like that,
02:23it means you're worried.
02:26I was just thinking of the Prince.
02:29I've never heard of anyone
02:31who's been married at 13.
02:33It's different elsewhere,
02:35but it's the custom in Siam.
02:37When I'm 13,
02:39are you going to force me to get married too?
02:41Is that true?
02:43Of course not.
02:45When you're old enough to get married,
02:47you'll make your own choice.
02:50Twenty-one years.
02:55Mother,
02:57if the Prince and the Princess
02:59have a baby,
03:01he'll be almost the same age as them.
03:03I hadn't thought of that.
03:05I wonder if we can
03:07continue to be friends.
03:09Yes, why not?
03:11Because he'll be a married man,
03:13and I'll be a simple single woman.
03:15I'm sure you'll be very good friends.
03:17Go on, finish your work.
03:23We were supposed to go fishing together on Saturday.
03:26But it's impossible.
03:28It's the day of the wedding.
03:30Yes, but I'm sure he'd rather go fishing.
03:34I'm sure too.
03:36In my opinion,
03:38the big apartment in the south
03:40would be best for the young Prince and his wife.
03:42Okay.
03:43Where will the servants put them?
03:45They'll be very close to their master.
03:48Yes, yes.
03:52Excuse me, Your Majesty,
03:54I'd like to have a word with you.
03:56We're very busy
03:58with all the preparations,
04:00arrangements, etc., etc.
04:02Very well, then, a little later.
04:04Wait!
04:06You've already interrupted the conversation.
04:08If you have something to say, say it.
04:11I'd have preferred to speak to you in private.
04:14Ah, you have a lot to do.
04:16To your rooms, Your Majesty.
04:21Very well, very well.
04:23Your Majesty,
04:25we were all very surprised
04:27when you told us about the Prince's next wedding.
04:29And because of that, during the class,
04:31the children were all very disappointed.
04:33Is that what you were going to tell me?
04:35An unbearable class because of disappointed children.
04:37I'm too busy to listen to stories.
04:39No, no, there's something else.
04:41Just out of curiosity,
04:43isn't the Prince
04:45still too young to get married?
04:47Not for the first wife.
04:49I got married when I was nine.
04:51But does he know the princess he's supposed to marry?
04:53Of course he knows her.
04:55They saw each other when they were two years old.
04:57He bit her finger and she cried
04:59with a loud cry. Very amusing.
05:01Your Majesty, they haven't seen each other
05:03since they were two years old.
05:05How do you think this marriage
05:07can be happy?
05:09It's a great opportunity for him
05:11to open up important markets
05:13between Burma and Siam.
05:15But is it really the time for him to...
05:17It's the perfect time.
05:19They're going to build a port in Saudi Arabia
05:21and that will allow us to trade
05:23with India.
05:25Your Majesty, I don't think
05:27we're talking about the same thing.
05:29You're focused on trade,
05:31trade, politics,
05:33and I'm interested in
05:35human feelings.
05:37For years,
05:39relations between Burma and us
05:41were based on suspicion
05:43and mistrust.
05:45For a good reason.
05:47Because these people are traitors,
05:49crooks, and ill-educated.
05:51With this new alliance,
05:53there will be closer relations
05:55between our two countries
05:57and business.
05:59But Your Majesty,
06:01where is love?
06:03Love?
06:05Yes.
06:07Have you never been in love?
06:11Madame Anna,
06:13can you tell me what it is?
06:15And I'll tell you who I am.
06:19Well, when two people
06:21feel a strong attraction
06:23for each other,
06:25and the desire to be together
06:27is the most important thing in the world.
06:29Oh, but I feel the same
06:31with almost all my women.
06:33And I feel the same with the Prince,
06:35and the Princess.
06:37Ah!
06:39What is it?
06:41These are loves that don't last, Your Majesty.
06:43Ah, good.
06:45Now I have a lot to do,
06:47and very little time to lose.
06:49The conversation is over.
06:51We can talk about love another time.
06:53Yes?
07:01Yes?
07:03Can I come in?
07:05Yes, come in.
07:11What are you doing?
07:13We're trying on special clothes
07:15for the presentation to Princess Bauma.
07:17Oh!
07:19Is that the one you're going to marry?
07:21Do you like girls?
07:23No.
07:25I hate them.
07:27They're fools.
07:29Fools?
07:31Stupid.
07:33You know, they're ridiculous,
07:35they're stupid.
07:37I hope you won't have to kiss her.
07:39I don't know, Louis.
07:41No one could force me to kiss a girl.
07:43Not even my mother.
07:45We agreed to go fishing in the river.
07:47Do you remember?
07:49And we won't be able to go.
07:51We could tell the Princess
07:53to come with us.
07:55You're right.
07:57She'd ruin everything.
08:01Oh!
08:03Here.
08:05What is it?
08:07It's my pretty Agathe ball.
08:09It brings me happiness.
08:11But I think you'll need it more than I do.
08:19Bang! Bang!
08:21Bang! Bang!
08:51...
08:53...
08:55...
08:57...
08:59...

09:13...

09:33...
09:35...
09:37...
09:39...
09:41...
09:43...
09:45...
09:47Your Majesty, this alliance will bring a lot of joy to the hearts of my compatriots and
10:04to mine as well.
10:05We salute you, great king, whom the whole world admires and considers as one of the
10:11great monarchs of our time.
10:15Your joy is nothing but a great table compared to the mountain of immense happiness that
10:19is in the heart of the people of Siam.
10:22I am bored to lie to this man, but I am convinced that he really admires me a lot.
10:36This palace was built for me in 1855.
10:40It is incredible.
10:42The whole palace reflects the perfection of splendor and the raffinement of beauty.
10:46Your great palace must be splendid, if I may say so.
10:49It is, but it has nothing to compare to yours, Your Majesty.
10:53Ah, the prince and the princess.
10:57They hold each other in a perfect way.
10:59I pay homage to their education.
11:01It is a very well-suited couple, Your Majesty.
11:03It would be pleasant to be able to return to their age, if you do not mind.
11:06But, alas, it is impossible to realize.
11:08No woman is comparable to the first.
11:11Exactly. If we had known then all that we know now.
11:14Do you have many women, Your Majesty?
11:16Twenty-six. No, twenty-seven. I forgot one.
11:20She arrived last night.
11:22All in good health?
11:24Eight with an angina, two with insect bites, one with a broken toe.
11:28Ah, Madame Anna.
11:30You wish to see me, Your Majesty?
11:32This is Madame Anna Owens, the institute of royal children.
11:37Madame Anna, Prince Naret.
11:39Your Highness, your daughter is delightful.
11:43She is very kind to you.
11:45The prince and I are going to make great and small details of the marriage.
11:49I want most of these notes to be copied, black on white,
11:52in order to put them in the archives and to have them at hand.
11:55Please, sit down and write.
12:00Ah, details of the marriage contract.
12:05Ah, you may have prepared in advance the complete list of the dowry.
12:10Yes, I have here all the documents, Your Majesty.
12:13Ah.
12:16The wood of the tree, palm sugar,
12:19big dinosaurs,
12:21tiger bones,
12:23panther skin, powder, gold.
12:26Spices.
12:29But your evaluation of the spices is really high.
12:32There is an overabundance. The prices have dropped a lot.
12:35If you wish, Your Majesty, we can adjust these prices to the current prices of the spices market.
12:40Ah.
12:41Did you write this clause?
12:43Adjustment of new rates.
12:45No, why?
12:46I thought I had to write what concerned the marriage contract, Your Majesty.
12:49All this is part of the contract. Write, write, write.
12:52And if it suits you, Your Majesty,
12:54there is still a very small point to discuss.
12:57What will you do in your turn?
12:59Concrete. What do you mean?
13:01We want the story to be told later.
13:03The new era of friendship has begun between our two nations,
13:06now united by exchanges of gifts.
13:09Ah.
13:10I'll give you a pair of elephants.
13:12Only two elephants?
13:14For such an occasion?
13:16And in your opinion, what quantity would be appropriate?
13:18Maybe thirty elephants?
13:22Ten elephants, nothing more.
13:24Shall we say twenty elephants, Your Majesty?
13:27Agreed.
13:29Write.
13:30Ten elephants.
13:34And this is the conclusion of the marriage contract.
13:37I hope that this moment is the beginning of a new atmosphere
13:42of affectionate and benevolent feelings between our nations,
13:46like those that exist between these two children.
13:55I wish...
13:59eternal friendship.
14:12Come in.
14:17Would you like to see me, Father?
14:19I noticed earlier
14:21that you allowed yourself to act in an incorrect and unqualifiable way
14:24for a royal child.
14:26Yes, Father.
14:30Especially by pushing Princess Bahumar in the middle of the basin.
14:34Is that correct?
14:36That's correct.
14:37Good.
14:38At least you're not stupidly trying to lie to me.
14:41I'm very happy for you,
14:43because I saw the whole scene with my own eyes.
14:45A chance that I sent the princess to change herself
14:47before her father saw her so wet like a duck.
14:51All my efforts tend to prepare the ground
14:54for a new era of friendship between Burma and us.
14:57And you?
14:58You pushed the princess into the basin. Is that smart?
15:01No, Father.
15:02What's the reason for acting like that, please?
15:04I hate her, Father.
15:06You hate her? Who came up with this idea?
15:09You must have discussed the situation with your teacher.
15:13No.
15:14With Louis' son.
15:15Ah!
15:16Louis' son.
15:18And may I know what he thinks?
15:20What is his opinion on this matter?
15:22He hates girls too, Father.
15:24He says that they are bulls to be trained.
15:27Bulls to be trained?
15:29He thinks they are stupid, Father.
15:31He says he only wants to marry a 21-year-old girl,
15:34with only one woman,
15:35and that he will live with her until the end of his life.
15:37Ah!
15:38That's what Europeans think.
15:39What's better, one woman or several women?
15:41It's obvious.
15:43Some women are a delight,
15:45but others are a torment.
15:47If a man has married only one woman,
15:49what chance does he have that she is a delight?
15:51Huh?
15:52It's really very risky.
15:54Yes, Father.
15:56You will be married in three days.
15:58From now on, act like a prince.
16:00And don't forget to push the princess into the pool.
16:03Understood?
16:04Yes, Father.

16:53E
16:54We'll do our best to make her happy.
16:56Hey, Prince, she's got a funny look on her face.
16:59Louis, if you have something to say, you have to say it out loud so that everyone can hear it.
17:04Yes, Mama.
17:06Let's see.
17:08Where are we going to sit?
17:10You're going to sit down and let the princess sit next to you.
17:15Good. Now we're going to start saying the vowels again.
17:19A

17:28Very good. Now we're going to write the consonants.
17:39What's going on? Why are you crying?
17:43Children, class is over.
17:47Your Highness, wait a moment.
17:50May I speak to you in private, please?
17:55Would you like some tea?
17:57I've got some good raisin cakes. Do you like raisin cakes?
18:04Why don't you sit down for a moment?
18:08I'm going to put some water in the kettle so you can talk.
18:13I'll be back in five minutes.
18:27Have you touched a royal person?
18:29Yes, because I hate you.
18:31I hate you too.
18:32How dare you push me into the basin?
18:34This basin is beautiful.
18:35It was full of frogs.
18:37Children, children.
18:40Your Highness, what have you done to him?
18:42I haven't done anything.
18:44She pulled my tongue. I didn't care.
18:46Then she got angry and hit me.
18:50I know this situation is very difficult,
18:53but couldn't you try to make yourself understood?
18:56I hate this place, this palace.
18:58It's too far from my mother.
19:00I didn't want you to come here.
19:02I have a lot of little brothers and sisters at home that I'd like to find.
19:08She feels sorry for you, Your Highness.
19:11Couldn't you find a solution to make her feel less helpless?
19:15I can't give her her brothers and sisters,
19:17but if you want, I can give her a few of mine.
19:20I have plenty.
19:21I don't want your brothers and sisters.
19:24And I don't want to get married.
19:26Me neither, don't worry.
19:28Madame Anna, can you help us?
19:32The contract is ready for the signing, Your Highness.
19:35Where is the instructor? I'd like her to be a witness.
19:38She should be here. We asked her to come.
19:41We'll wait for her.
19:45Sorry I'm late, Your Highness.
19:47Why did you bring the children?
19:50Their presence is not necessary.
19:52No, they have nothing to do with the signing.
19:54Yes, but they are interested in attending.
19:56They will just look without saying anything. They won't bother anyone.
19:59Good. Stay here. Don't move.
20:01Who will sign first, Your Highness?
20:03You are my guest. You have the honor.
20:06Perfect. I accept with gratitude.
20:09Show me the pen.
20:11Here it is, Your Highness.
20:13Would you give me permission to speak before signing?
20:17The prince and the princess had a long conversation this afternoon.
20:22They love each other very much.
20:25I think they have come to agree on new foundations.
20:30Continue, please.
20:32Father, I have news to tell you.
20:35Tell me, what is it?
20:37I found out in the conversation I had with Chulalongkorn
20:40that cinnamon was his favorite.
20:42So I promised him that on each of his birthdays
20:45you would send him 4,000 kilos of cinnamon.
20:474,000 kilos of cinnamon for him?
20:49He must love cinnamon very, very much.
20:52Yes, it's true.
20:55It's a very generous gift.
20:57We will make an amendment to the marriage contract.
21:00Instructor, please take notes and be a witness.
21:03Of course, Your Highness.
21:05Now it's your turn to sign, please.
21:07Yes, now I will sign.
21:11Father, I have something to tell you too.
21:14Yes?
21:15In exchange for this generous gift,
21:17I promised Bahuma to give him a gift too.
21:20And each year, for his birthday,
21:22I promised him to give him his gold and precious stone.
21:28Magnificent! What a beautiful, generous soul!
21:31I congratulate you, Your Majesty.
21:33You have a son who has a heart as big as the whole earth.
21:38His weight in gold and precious stone?
21:43It will be quite important later,
21:45if she becomes like her mother.
21:47At present, she is a strong woman.
21:49To be frank, she is huge!
21:56Instructor, take notes of this amendment and be a witness, please.
21:59Yes, Your Highness.
22:01Now it's your turn to sign, please.
22:08I have just thought.
22:10There is one point that we have omitted and that worries me.
22:14A point that has not been considered.
22:17We have only talked about tiger bones, elephants, gold and precious stone.
22:24But what have they done to human feelings?
22:29Human feelings?
22:31I am talking about essential things,
22:33such as love, affection, etc.
22:38Aren't these children too young to get married?
22:41Too young?
22:43Yes. In Europe, you see, they have other customs.
22:46A man does not marry before the age of 21,
22:48so he chooses only one woman and lives with her until the end of his life.
22:51Isn't he crazy?
22:53Then, these two children are practically strangers to each other.
22:58Have they seen each other since their childhood?
23:01No. Is this what leads to love?
23:04Love, Your Majesty.
23:06Tell me, have you ever been in love?
23:09Otherwise, it's a shame.
23:10But, Your Majesty, they just said the moment they held each other,
23:13that they loved each other very much.
23:15Ah! A fire of love!
23:17A fire of love is nothing but a small fire.
23:19A small fire of love, Your Majesty?
23:21Yes, a fire of love.
23:23But it's not true love.
23:25What do they feel?
23:26A real and strong attraction for each other.
23:28Do they want to be close to each other, always, always,
23:30more than anything else in the world?
23:32Otherwise, it's a drag.
23:35A drag?
23:36What do you mean, Your Majesty?
23:39I mean, I don't give a date for the affair.
23:43I won't sign it.
23:45You refuse?
23:46Absolutely.
23:47I don't give a date for the affair, etc., etc., etc.
23:50As a father, what I want, above all, is his happiness.
23:54It's an insult, an outrage, without name, in our honor,
23:57which will not be forgotten soon.
23:59Bahouma, come with me.
24:01Yes, Father.
24:17Why this expression on the face?
24:20For nothing, Your Majesty.
24:24Nothing at all.
24:34I'm glad I didn't sign these trade agreements.
24:37I didn't like this marriage.
24:39But I had very pressing reasons.
24:41Diplomatic, above all.
24:43I understand, Your Majesty.
24:44Father!
24:45Look what Princess Bahouma left for me.
24:48A gift.
24:49What is it?
24:50Cinnamon.
24:53And a letter.
24:55It says, Prince Choulalongkorn,
24:57there aren't 4,000 kilos, but I hope you'll be happy.
25:00I'll miss you, Bahouma.
25:04Very nice gesture.
25:06The father is very unpleasant, but she's a nice girl.
25:10Maybe even a little later,
25:12when all these skills are forgotten,
25:14precious goods, gold, etc.,
25:16we'll be able to get along.
25:20Even before he's 21.
