KurzfilmeTranskript
00:00I am a lover, at least.
00:03That's the label my mother stuck on me.
00:06A proponent of data-driven education,
00:09She put truth bracelets on my twin sister, Mia, and me on the day we were born.
00:14If we lied, the bracelet would flash red and Mom would electrocute us.
00:20Mia's bracelet remained green.
00:23She could tear up her mother's favorite dress and blame the cat,
00:27and her bracelet shone with a soft glass.
00:34But for me, even if I simply whispered "Mommy, I'm hungry,"
00:40My bracelet instantly exploded into a bright red.
00:45followed by a piercing electric shock.
00:48I'm not a machine, Mom.
00:51I tried to defend myself, but she always responded
00:55"Machines don't lie."
00:57Pain is how we learn.
00:59I'm doing this for your own good.
01:00After thousands of landfills,
01:03I ended up sincerely believing that I was completely deranged.
01:07On New Year's Eve, everything changed.
01:10On New Year's Eve, everything changed.
01:14New Year's Eve,
01:15Mom was getting ready to take Mia to see the fireworks.
01:19A pain suddenly pierced my stomach.
01:24Curled up on the floor, I begged, "Mommy, my tummy hurts so much."
01:29"Please, help me."
01:31Put on my bracelet that flashes red.
01:34She glared at me.
01:36Me, trembling in a cold sweat,
01:38turned the shock knob to maximum
01:41and spat out, "You're pretending to be sick."
01:43just to come and watch the fireworks with us.
01:45You'll never change.
01:47She turned around, grabbed Mia
01:49and slammed the door behind her.
01:52I couldn't help but think that she was right.
01:54The bracelet was red.
01:56So I shouldn't really have suffered.
01:58I was making that up again to attract attention.
02:02I'm sorry, Mom.
02:03Next time, I promise to be an honest child.
02:07It hurts so much.
02:09I was writhing in pain.
02:11My nails
02:12etching pale marks into the floor.
02:19The door handle turned.
02:22A glimmer of hope burned in my eyes.
02:25Mother was harsh.
02:27But she was a doctor.
02:29She must have realized that something was very wrong.
02:32And she would come back to save me.
02:34Are you finished?
02:35The fireworks will begin soon.
02:37Mia is getting impatient.
02:38"Mom," I called her in a weak voice,
02:41extending a trembling hand towards the door.
02:43That really hurts.
02:45I feel like my intestines are tearing apart.
02:48She just glanced at the red light
02:50which was flashing on my wrist.
02:52She squatted down and pinched my chin.
02:55The voice dripping with venom.
02:57Lily, how long are you going to play this charade?
03:00You are a pathological liar.
03:02You can stay home and reflect on what you've done.
03:05Honey, come on, the fireworks are about to start.
03:09If Lily doesn't want to come, too bad.
03:11Should we leave him food?
03:13Mom stood up and dusted her hands
03:15as if touching me had salted her.
03:18Why leave food behind?
03:19She has lots of snacks in her room.
03:21She bought them with the money she stole last time.
03:24She's not going to starve to death.
03:25Lock the door, don't let her out
03:27as long as this bracelet is not green.
03:28But what?
03:30Spare the rod and spoil the child?
03:32Look, Mia.
03:34She is perfectly honest.
03:36His bracelet is still green.
03:37Lily is rotten to the core.
03:39We need to correct it.
03:40But the cupboard was completely empty.
03:43It was Mia who had stolen the cash
03:46and she had eaten all the snacks.
03:49Mia had simply stayed there.
03:52its bracelet shines with a soft glass.
03:54And she said
03:55That's not me?
03:57And Mom believed him.
03:59When I tried to defend myself
04:01saying that I hadn't taken it either,
04:04the red light flashed
04:05and I received a discharge.
04:07I watched Mom turn around to leave.
04:12Mia took a look
04:13through the slightly open door.
04:16Téma stuck out his tongue.
04:17Hi Lily,
04:19We're going to go see the beautiful fireworks display.
04:21Her bracelet shone with brilliant glass.
04:23It was really beautiful.
04:25The door slammed shut.
04:27Followed by the heavy click of the lock.
04:29Silence fell once more over the house.
04:32leaving me alone with this saw
04:35which was tearing at my stomach.
04:38It hurts so much.
04:40Mother was right.
04:42The machines aren't working.
04:43The bracelet is red.
04:45So I'm probably making it up.
04:47I'm not in pain.
04:49I'm really not in pain.
04:51Tears were streaming down my face.
04:53I tried to brainwash myself.
04:57I don't know how much time has passed,
05:00But the pain eventually subsided.
05:03With his last breath,
05:05I dragged myself to the office.
05:08I had to write my punishment lines.
05:12That was the rule.
05:14Each time the red light flashed,
05:17I had to write,
05:18I am a storyteller.
05:20A thousand times.
05:21Once I've finished,
05:23Mom would forgive me, wouldn't she?
05:25She would take me to the hospital then.
05:28Tomorrow, trembling
05:29I opened my crumpled newspaper.
05:32The pages were filled.
05:35Please accept my previous apologies.
05:39I was always writing.
05:41I'm sorry,
05:42I was wrong.
05:43I will no longer lie.
05:45But this time,
05:47I wanted to write the truth.
05:50My vision blurred,
05:51Absolutely.
05:53I used my last bit of strength
05:55to write.
05:58Mom, I really love you.
06:01It hurts so much.
06:02Why don't you believe me?
06:06Mom, please,
06:08Believe me, just this once.
06:10The moment I finished the last word,
06:12the excruciating pain in my stomach
06:14has disappeared.
06:16My body became light
06:18And I started to float.
06:20I looked down
06:21and I saw myself slumped over
06:22on the desk.
06:24His arm dangling in the void,
06:26completely motionless.
06:28The bracelet on my wrist
06:30was still flashing furiously
06:31in red.
06:32So I was dead.
06:35But I hadn't learned
06:36to be an honest child.
06:39I'm sorry, Mom.
06:41I was woken up
06:42with a burst of laughter.
06:44That was my dad.
06:45My mom and my sister.
06:47The fireworks
06:48It was so beautiful tonight.
06:49Especially the one shaped like a smile.
06:51He was just as cute as Mia.
06:53There was a tenderness
06:54in mom's voice
06:57that I had never heard before.
06:59I was floating in the air,
07:00watching the front door open.
07:02I was a soul,
07:03but I was instinctively drifting towards them,
07:05wanting to bring them their slippers
07:07as I used to do.
07:09It was a need to please.
07:11engraved in my bones.
07:12Mom,
07:13I opened my arms,
07:14wanting to kiss
07:15this woman burdened with the cold of the night.
07:18I'm not in pain anymore.
07:20I will be good from now on.
07:22Please,
07:23Don't be angry.
07:24But my hands passed through his body
07:27as if trying to catch the wind.
07:28Mom shivered
07:29and frowned.
07:30Why is it so cold here?
07:32Is the heating off?
07:33I froze.
07:34staring at my transparent palm.
07:36It's true.
07:37I was already dead.
07:39The dead cannot hug the living.
07:41Go see how Lily is doing.
07:43She didn't go out to eat.
07:44Don't let her starve herself.
07:46Dad spoke about it casually.
07:47Dad was still the nicest one.
07:49I looked at Mom with hope.
07:51If she found out I was dead,
07:53Would she be sad?
07:54Would she have any regrets?
07:56Mom snickered
07:57and put on his slippers
07:59walking towards my room.
08:01She would deserve it if she starved herself.
08:02Faking an illness to attract attention
08:04is a bad habit of a spoiled child.
08:06She pushed open my door.
08:09She pushed open my door.
08:11She didn't turn on the light.
08:13In the glow of the living room,
08:15She saw me slumped over the desk,
08:18motionless, as if asleep.
08:20Still lying there?
08:22Do you think I'm going to carry you to bed?
08:27Lily, you are 10 years old, not 5.
08:30Mom, I'm not pretending to be asleep.
08:33I am dead.
08:34Look at me.
08:36Touch me.
08:37My body is cold.
08:38But she couldn't hear me.
08:40She only saw what she wanted to see.
08:43Mia slipped under his arm
08:46and proudly raised his wrist.
08:48Lily is a big lazybones.
08:51Look, my bracelet is green.
08:53His is still red.
08:54She lies all the time.
08:56She even lies in her dreams.
08:58Mom patted Mia's head.
09:00Dad glanced over the back.
09:02Perhaps the range in bed.
09:03It's freezing cold.
09:04The range?
09:04What for?
09:05Kids these days are spoiled rotten.
09:07The bracelet manufacturers say that cold treatment must be applied.
09:10She needs to realize her own mistakes.
09:12Look at that red light.
09:13Is she in a state of extreme resistance?
09:15She didn't think at all.
09:17That's enough.
09:18Go to bed.
09:19We're going to see Grandma tomorrow.
09:19Mom turned around and closed the door.
09:23I was floating beside my body, staring at the crimson light in the darkness.
09:28A sadness deeper than death overwhelmed me.
09:30Mom, if only you had taken one more step.
09:33If you had touched my hand, you would have known that I was already cold.
09:37But you didn't do it.
09:39You trusted that cold machine more than the girl you carried for 10 months.
09:44Late at night, a rat came out of my empty closet.
09:47I used to be terrified of rats.
09:49I screamed every time I saw one.
09:52But there, I was floating near the ceiling.
09:55The gaze of a runner upon my dead body.
09:58I tried weakly to chase it away, but no sound came out.
10:01The rat bit my toe.
10:03Dark, purple blood was flowing from it.
10:06I felt no pain.
10:07That was a good thing.
10:08Finally, it didn't hurt anymore.
10:11I spoke to the poor woman from Puglia this month.
10:13Don't be afraid.
10:14You can no longer feel pain.
10:16It will all be over soon.
10:18The next day, the sun bathed my corpse.
10:22But it provided no warmth.
10:25The sounds of dishes clattering were coming from the kitchen.
10:28Mom was preparing breakfast.
10:31The rich smell of bacon and fruit seeped under my door.
10:37It was the scent I desired most.
10:40But I was only allowed plain porridge.
10:44My mother used to say that those who missed out didn't deserve a good meal.
10:48She deliberately hit her spatula against the pan.
10:53I knew exactly what she was doing.
10:56She was trying to tempt me.
10:57She wanted me to give in in the end.
10:59And that I crawl to beg his forgiveness.
11:04In the past, I could have confessed to things I had never done.
11:08Just for one bite.
11:11But I no longer needed to eat.
11:13Lily, hasn't it come out yet?
11:15Dad asked while reading the newspaper at the dining room table.
11:19No.
11:20Are you like a mule?
11:22She's spoiled.
11:23If she doesn't want to eat, she could starve to death.
11:26Mia took a sip of her milk, her eyes shining mischievously.
11:30She intentionally ran towards my door.
11:34Mom, it smells bad in Lily's room.
11:37She used the floor as a toilet.
11:39Floating near the door, I looked at Mia with a bitter smile.
11:44I started to feel it after just one night.
11:47Mother approached a clam, her forehead deeply wrinkled with disgust.
11:52Did you really soil your own room?
11:55She banged on the door and screamed.
12:00You're amazing!
12:02Would you throw away your own dignity just to make a scene with me?
12:06It reminded me of when I was little.
12:09I once had a severe case of gastroenteritis.
12:13I couldn't hold back in time.
12:15She had been getting me dirty, she had pointed at me and said
12:19Look at that child, filthy as a pig.
12:22And now she thought I was dirty again.
12:27Just leave her alone.
12:28Mom waved her hand in disgust as if to swat away a fly.
12:32Let her stay in her own stench.
12:35Let's see if he likes it.
12:36Dad put down his newspaper.
12:38The smell is getting really strong.
12:40Let me check.
12:42Perhaps a rat died in the walls.
12:44He got up and headed towards my room.
12:48My ghostly heart leaped in my throat.
12:51Dad, hurry up.
12:52Open the door.
12:53Please look at me.
12:56I'm just behind the door.
12:59If you turn this handle, you'll see me.
13:02I'm not moving anymore.
13:04My face has already turned blue and dark.
13:08Dad's hand grasped the door handle.
13:11His phone was ringing.
13:12He was his boss.
13:15The servers crashed.
13:17Okay, okay, I'm coming.
13:20Honey, there's an emergency at work.
13:22I'm leaving for a few days.
13:24Wait, she's in bed.
13:25I froze mid-flight.
13:27It was so close.
13:29Just one more second.
13:33If that call had come just a moment later,
13:37He would have found me.
13:39Perhaps then I wouldn't have to continue rotting away here.
13:43This afternoon, Mom took Mia shopping.
13:46leaving my corpse alone in the house.
13:48They returned home in the evening.
13:50As soon as they entered,
13:52The smell hit them even harder.
13:54Do you want to turn this house into a real garbage dump?
13:57Instead, she took a roll of adhesive tape,
14:00It clung on and viciously sealed the gap under my door.
14:04Since you like this folding machine so much,
14:05You just have to stay inside.
14:06She dusted her hands with satisfaction.
14:09Finally, a little peace and quiet.
14:11Looking at this sealed door,
14:14The very last hope in my heart was extinguished at the same time as the ribbon.
14:19So, for Mom, my life and my death mattered even less than a fancy dinner.
14:25She preferred to affirm me as if I were in a tomb rather than check if I was dead.
14:30You won, Mom.
14:32I will never bother you again.
14:33On the morning of the third day,
14:35The gentle winter sun flooded the living room.
14:39But he could not dispel the darkness and amority that hung over the house.
14:43The thermostat was set very high, to almost 26 degrees.
14:47The adhesive could no longer contain the odor.
14:52It was a thick folding knife,
14:55Fatty and nausea abound.
14:58My mother was cutting fresh flowers that she had just bought,
15:01But no matter how strong the floral fragrance,
15:04It could not mask the smell of a decomposing corpse.
15:08Mom broke a rose stem in a rage.
15:11leaving a thorn to prick his finger.
15:14She had finally reached her limits.
15:18In its twisted logic,
15:20my refusal to shower,
15:22using my room as a toilet
15:24or to hide dead rats there,
15:26All of this was simply an act of rebellion.
15:30They disgusted him and defied his authority.
15:32Lily, you are completely out of control.
15:36Mom rushed into the kitchen,
15:39grabbed a large wooden roller
15:41and came furiously towards my room.
15:44Since the shock collar is no longer working,
15:47You need old-fashioned discipline.
15:52Floating just in front of her,
15:53looking at his furious and distorted face,
15:56I waved my hands to stop him.
15:59Please don't come in, Mom.
16:02Don't go there.
16:03I look awful.
16:05I'm rotting, you're going to be scared.
16:07Even if she didn't love me,
16:09I didn't want her to see me in such a horrible state.
16:12But it crossed my soul
16:15and tore off
16:16the adhesive tape on the door frame.
16:19The sound of the adhesive was piercing.
16:24She inserted the spare key into the lock
16:28and filmed it.
16:29The door is violently
16:31push.
16:33A nauseating wave of death
16:35concentrated the blow with full force.
16:38Like opening Pandora's box,
16:41Mom had taken a step back,
16:43choking as the stench assailed him.
16:45Lélie, what the hell were you doing?
16:48She had looked up and seen me
16:51always slumped over the desk
16:52in the same position as three days prior.
16:55His back was turned, completely motionless.
16:59For her, it was a provocation
17:02silent.
17:03A pure and simple challenge.
17:06Are you deaf?
17:08Are you still playing dead?
17:09Blinded by rage,
17:11She had covered the distance in three steps.
17:14lifting the large wooden roller very high.
17:16But she didn't strike right away.
17:19She initially wanted to pull me violently
17:21to see the stubborn expression
17:24that she was sure she had on my face.
17:26Get up!
17:28She had caught me
17:29through the collar of my pajamas.
17:33Her fingers were digging into my skin.
17:36The next second,
17:38She froze at the moment of contact.
17:41Time seemed to have completely stopped.
17:44through the thin fabric of my pajamas.
17:48His fingers had not felt warm skin.
17:52Adrift,
17:52nor soft flesh.
17:54Instead,
17:55She had felt a block of dead meat.
17:57icy and hard as stone.
17:59It was an unnaturally chilling cold.
18:04But his momentum had continued.
18:06She had pulled backwards with brutal force.
18:10My stiff body had been ripped backwards,
18:12falling rigidly,
18:14dragging the heavy office chair with him.
18:18Bang!
18:19The chair had crashed against the parquet floor.
18:23My corpse had fallen perfectly rigid,
18:26like an overturned marble statue.
18:29And finally,
18:29My face had been revealed.
18:43I was no longer the girl she had known.
18:47My face was a sickly, livid purple.
18:51My eyes were bulging.
18:52My features were completely distorted.
18:57Through the pure agony of my final moments.
19:01Dried white foam and black blood stained the corners of my lips.
19:06And there, on my blackened wrist,
19:12the bracelet of truth was found
19:15of which my mother was so proud.
19:17He was hanging there, inert.
19:21The skin underneath was burned.
19:24Inky black from electricity,
19:27The molten rubber had directly bonded to my charred flesh.
19:31No red light.
19:32No green light.
19:34Just a heavy, dead silence.
19:38Suddenly, a noise appeared.
19:41My newspaper, which had been stuck under my arm, slipped out when my body fell.
19:47He landed right at Mom's feet.
19:51Open directly opposite her.
19:57On this page,
19:59my clumsy, desperate writing,
20:03he planted his words in her eyes like daggers.
20:08Mom, my stomach really hurts.
20:10The bandage broke.
20:12I swear I'm not lying.
20:13Please don't give me any more shocks.
20:16It was a howl that didn't sound human.
20:21Piercing and guttural,
20:22as if his throat were tearing.
20:25Mom staggered backwards.
20:28The small of his back hit the shelf.
20:31A glass vase shattered on the floor.
20:34flying into a thousand pieces.
20:37But she didn't even flinch.
20:40Her eyes were wide open,
20:42filled with pure terror riveted to my body on the ground.
20:46No, that's not possible.
20:49She shook her head frantically,
20:52her hair falling over her face like a madwoman.
20:55You're still pretending.
20:57It's makeup.
20:59It's a joke.
21:01Lily, get up right now.
21:06I'm not angry anymore.
21:08Stop scaring me.
21:10Trembling violently,
21:11She reached out to grasp my stiff arm.
21:15But at the precise moment when it's the tips of his fingers
21:19it brushed against my icy skin,
21:22She withdrew her hand as if she had just touched a burning hair.
21:27This feeling,
21:29It was undeniably real.
21:32It was the temperature of death.
21:36Martha,
21:37Our neighbor called the police.
21:40She had rushed
21:42after hearing Mom's cries.
21:44She glanced at the scene
21:46and collapsed onto the bottom of the door.
21:49The sirens soon invaded the neighborhood.
21:52The police stormed in.
21:53The stage technicians followed.
21:56The crime scene tape has been laid.
21:59I watched them going about their business.
22:01The flashes of cameras exploding on my corpse.
22:05A policewoman had to drag Mom to the living room sofa.
22:10She was still delirious and incoherent.
22:15Trying to defend himself.
22:17I swear she was faking it.
22:20She's been a liar since she was a child.
22:23The bracelet was red.
22:24The machine doesn't lie.
22:26I disciplined her.
22:27That's all.
22:28I was doing it for her own good.
22:30Nobody was even looking at her.
22:32Everyone stared at her as if she were a pure monster.
22:37When the medical examiner tried to move my body,
22:41They encountered a problem.
22:42The bracelet of truth.
22:44The bracelet of truth.
22:45Because he had discharged a high-voltage current for so long.
22:51The intense heat had literally melted the rubber into my skin.
22:57It was practically welded to my flesh.
23:00My God.
23:02He had to grab a pair of medical scissors.
23:04To tear it out by force.
23:07The sickening sound of skin tearing.
23:11Even though I was already dead, my phantom wrist was throbbing.
23:16The bracelet eventually came loose, taking with it a piece of my charred flesh.
23:21An inspector picked up my newspaper from the floor.
23:25He leafed through it with his gloved hands.
23:28His face darkened second by second.
23:32Mother's gaze fixed on the notebook.
23:35Suddenly, she lunged at the inspector, like a runaway dog.
23:41Trying to snatch it away from him.
23:43These are the penalty lines!
23:45She must have written it in there!
23:46She admitted that she was lying!
23:48Read him, she confessed!
23:49The inspector pushed him away violently and slipped the newspaper into a bag of evidence.
23:55He stared at him with a cold gaze.
23:59Looking at her as if she were nothing but trash.
24:03We will be the ones to judge whether he was lying.
24:05At that moment, Dad finally returned in an emergency.
24:09He saw the black body bag go through the door.
24:14This long closure clearly sealed my miserable existence forever.
24:20Dad's legs gave out.
24:23He collapsed onto the carpet.
24:25He literally peed himself in shock,
24:29Mia stood to the side, sobbing with fear.
24:32She didn't understand what was happening.
24:37She simply pointed to the bloody bracelet on the table and asked
24:43"Mom, why is Nelly's bracelet black? Mine is still green!"
24:49She raised her wrist.
24:51The small green light was still flashing.
24:54It was a massive and sickening irony.
24:59The police began an impromptu interrogation in the living room.
25:05Mom acted as if she had just found a lifebuoy.
25:09She pointed at my bloodied bracelet.
25:12Her voice was shrill and desperate.
25:15You need to check the bracelet.
25:17That proves she was lying.
25:19Red means lies.
25:21I electrocuted him when it was red.
25:23I am not an abuser.
25:24The machine told me to do it.
25:26I was just giving him a lesson.
25:28The detective gave him a disapproving look, completely disgusted.
25:33Madam, your daughter's body is covered with old scars from repeated electrical burns.
25:41That was discipline! That was education!
25:45Mom screamed, cutting him off, desperate to prove she was right and that she wasn't
25:51Not a murderer.
25:54She suddenly had the craziest demand.
26:00You don't believe me?
26:01This machine is infallible.
26:03I'll put it on right away.
26:05I'm telling the truth, so it will be green.
26:08She lunged at the table, grabbing the bracelet that was covered with my burned skin and my
26:14blood.
26:16Completely oblivious to the horror, her hands trembled violently as she forced the strap around her own wrist.
26:24I'm going to show you that I'm innocent.
26:26If it's green, then everything I said is true.
26:28Trembling, she switched on the blood-soaked device, locked it tightly, the icy rubber pressed against her skin, sticky and
26:42sliding with my blood.
26:44Mom took a deep breath, trying to force herself to calm down.
26:49She wanted to prove that I deserved to die, and that her twisted upbringing was perfect.
26:58She extended her wrist towards the policeman, a gleam of manic confidence in her eyes.
27:05Look closely. My name is Evelyn, I am Lily's mother.
27:11It was a pure fact. The absolute truth.
27:15But then, a shrill alarm suddenly erupted from the bracelet.
27:22The long, dead red light violently reignited.
27:26Mom was in shock. Her arrogant expression instantly froze.
27:30She violently struck the bracelet, like a malfunctioning remote control.
27:35What the hell is going on? Is it broken? I'm telling the truth. I'm Evelyn.
27:40Panic began to rise. His words came out faster and faster.
27:44It's definitely broken. That forensic pathologist must have destroyed it.
27:50Let me try again. I'll say it again.
27:53She swallowed with difficulty, her voice turning hysterical.
27:57I did not mistreat my child. I did it for his or her own good. I loved him or her.
28:02The red light blinked more brightly, merging into a solid block of furious red.
28:09And as it detected a heart rate spike, the bracelet automatically triggered a mild electric shock.
28:17Mom jumped. Her whole arm tensed in pain.
28:22It hurt. Even a minor impact was enough to give him goosebumps.
28:28She suddenly understood what I felt at ten years old.
28:32When I received absolute maximum attention, I would curl up in a ball on the floor, biting my own lip so as not to
28:39Don't shout.
28:41So, that's where it hurt. Mom completely lost it.
28:46Why is it red? Why? I'm telling the truth! Damn machine! I'm telling the truth!
28:52What a stupid thing!
28:55Pass the glass! You stupid thing! You're nothing but a broken sin! You're trapping me!
29:00!
29:00No matter how loud the screams were, the red light kept flashing.
29:07That's enough. You know what happens if that thing is triggered.
29:11A forensic technician finally spoke.
29:15His voice was icy. He honestly couldn't take it anymore.
29:20Stop trying. It's not a lie detector, ma'am.
29:24He grabbed the instruction manual found during the search and swung it onto the coffee table.
29:29It is a simple sensor for galvanic skin response and heart rate.
29:33Its operation is simple. When someone is nervous, anxious, terrified, or in extreme pain,
29:38His heart rate races. He sweats. His electrodermal activity increases and the light turns red.
29:43Right now, you're panicking, you're terrified, and your heart is racing. Of course, everything is flashing red.
29:49He took a slow step towards Mom, who was now prostrate on the floor.
29:54Every word he uttered landed like a blow to his skull.
29:58Think about it. Your daughter's appendix burst. She was writhing in pain on the floor.
30:02Do you have any idea how much pain a torn organ can cause?
30:06How fast do you think her heart was beating? How terrified do you think she was?
30:11But for you, the more she suffered, the faster her heart beat and the brighter that red light shone.
30:17You assumed she was lying even more. So you increased the voltage.
30:21The impact caused more pain, which made his heart beat even faster.
30:25This made the light even brighter. She was begging you to help her.
30:28And you turned it into an instrument of torture.
30:30You tortured your own daughter to death while she begged you to save her.
30:34Mom's entire reality shattered into pieces.
30:38She remained paralyzed on the ground.
30:40His eyes were vacant, staring at the red light that blinked on his wrist.
30:44Finally, she understood.
30:45For the past ten years, every time my bracelet flashed red, it was because I was scared.
30:53Terrified that she would get angry.
30:55Terrified of being misunderstood.
30:57Terrified by the food she was forcing me to swallow.
31:00I was suffering. I was suffering so much.
31:02My heart was racing and I was drenched in cold sweat.
31:06I was dying to.
31:07Just for her to hug me once.
31:10As she hugged Mia.
31:12Every beat of my heart had been distorted to become evidence of a lie.
31:20She began frantically pulling at the bracelet on her wrist.
31:25Get out of my way!
31:29But the closure, jammed from being forced and damaged by the crack, was completely blocked.
31:37Locked to her wrist like a shackle.
31:39No matter how hard he tried to pull it off, it wouldn't budge.
31:42I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!
31:45Yes yes !
31:47Take it off!
31:48I'm sorry!
31:49You can't stand this little pain.
31:51Mom, I had to put up with it for ten years.
31:55In order to establish the details of the abuse and build a solid case,
32:01The police opened the newspaper, officially classified as key evidence, right in front of mom and dad.
32:10This notebook that I had been using for ten years, filled with blood, tears, and pure humiliation.
32:16The officer's voice was gentle, but every word cut like a knife.
32:22Fiu-t'en February, sunny.
32:25My mother forced me to eat celery.
32:27I'm allergic to it.
32:28My throat swells and I can't breathe.
32:30I told him I didn't want it.
32:32I didn't want it because I felt bad.
32:35I don't care if you're sick.
32:37You must eat this celery.
32:39The bracelet turned red.
32:41Mom said I was a difficult liar and forced me to finish the whole plate.
32:45That night, I vomited blood.
32:48My throat was burning.
32:50Mom saw it and said I was secretly drinking tomato juice to fake it.
32:54and sent me shocks for another ten minutes.
32:57Mom covered her mouth.
32:59His whole body was trembling violently.
33:01That night, she had thought it was tomato juice.
33:08She hadn't even glanced at my vomit a second time before
33:12turn around to read a bedtime story to Mia.
33:15In fact, it was blood.
33:19Blood from my swollen and torn throat.
33:24She turned the page and continued reading.
33:29June 1st, Children's Day.
33:31Mia cut up Mom's favorite dress.
33:33Mia's heart was beating slowly, so she had a green light.
33:37I was too distraught to explain myself.
33:39Terrified of being beaten, I only got red.
33:42Mom punished me for ten minutes.
33:44The dial was on level 5.
33:46It hurt so much, but I didn't dare cry because...
33:50Crying accelerates the heart.
33:52My mother would think I was defying her and would punish me even more severely.
33:55I held my breath and pretended it didn't hurt.
33:59Mom said...
33:59You see, it doesn't even make a sound.
34:02It doesn't even hurt.
34:03She's definitely pretending.
34:05Dad could finally no longer listen
34:08this man who had remained invisible
34:11in this house for years
34:14who had turned a blind eye to my suffering
34:18just to have a little peace.
34:21It suddenly rushed forward.
34:25You monster!
34:27Look what you've done!
34:29He slapped Mom across the face with all his might.
34:33Mom was thrown to the ground.
34:35She was your own daughter!
34:38You treated him like an animal!
34:40But she did not defend herself.
34:42And she didn't cry.
34:44She just muttered to herself.
34:47His gaze was completely blank.
34:52It was Mia!
34:53His bracelet was still green!
34:55She was the honest child!
34:57She's the one who misled me!
34:59If I hadn't had her green light!
35:01If I hadn't had her as a reference!
35:03I wouldn't have believed in the red light so much!
35:05All eyes in the room
35:07they were focusing their attention on Mia,
35:09the little princess
35:10who had always been pampered by her mother.
35:14A detective approached her.
35:17He unfastened the green bracelet from his wrist
35:21and took out a screwdriver and forced it open.
35:24There, on site,
35:26The plastic casing cracked.
35:30There was nothing inside
35:31no complex sensor chip
35:34No heart rate monitor.
35:36just two LEDs to walk
35:39and a few button batteries.
35:41The circuit board was wired in a fixed manner.
35:44As long as it had electricity,
35:46It would only shine green.
35:48It's a plastic toy that costs 2 euros.
35:51It was factory-set.
35:53to stay green permanently.
35:56No matter what she says or does,
35:57she could commit murder
35:59and set fire to the house
36:00and it would remain green.
36:01Your data-driven education
36:03it's nothing more than a joke
36:05Completely biased.
36:06My hand stared at the pile of plastic shards.
36:10The truth in which she had believed
36:12for 10 years,
36:16the only evidence she used
36:19to condemn me to death
36:20was just a toy from the beginning.
36:24My 10 years of torment
36:26had been dictated
36:28with a cheap toy,
36:30a rigged game,
36:31where I lived in hell
36:34and my sister lived in paradise.
36:37I was not a liar.
36:40I wasn't a bad child.
36:43What's the point of all this suffering then?
36:47I laughed.
36:48And as I laughed,
36:49I started to cry.
36:51Apparently,
36:52Ghosts also have tears.
36:55The last page of the newspaper has been turned.
37:00The policewoman's voice broke.
37:03The handwriting is disorganized.
37:04She must have written that just before she died.
37:08Mother, if I die,
37:09The bracelet will turn off.
37:12Will you give me a hug?
37:14I'm not lying.
37:15My stomach hurts.
37:17It's as if knives were twisting there.
37:20Mom,
37:20Don't make me wear the bracelet
37:22in my next life.
37:24I beg you.
37:24I just want to be a normal child.
37:27I want to eat your broken roast pork.
37:29Mom stared at the pieces of broken plastic.
37:33Its green light of undeniable honesty
37:39it was nothing more than a toy plastic.
37:43Because of this toy,
37:45She spoiled Mia for ten years.
37:48And because of that damned red light,
37:52She tortured me for ten years.
37:55Mom suddenly burst out laughing.
37:58A shrill and horrifying laugh
38:00which seemed much worse than sobbing.
38:03She broke down.
38:05This time,
38:06She really descended into madness.
38:08My death has become
38:10the biggest case in town.
38:12Martin, our neighbor,
38:14was of a good nature.
38:16But she was also very talkative.
38:19She told everything online
38:21about what she saw that day.
38:23The title was
38:25Scary.
38:26The girl is electrocuted to death
38:28by a bracelet of pseudoscience.
38:30The article described the macabre state of my corpse.
38:34And how the bracelet had fused with my flesh.
38:38It went completely viral.
38:40The internet erupted in a fit of rage.
38:44My mother was publicly lynched.
38:48Electric demon, murderer.
38:50She doesn't deserve to be a mother.
38:54Countless death threats and insults
38:57they swept in like an avalanche.
38:59Our front door has been covered in red paint
39:04with the word "drop dead" scrawled everywhere.
39:08Dad was also taken away by the police.
39:11prosecuted for criminal negligence
39:13and endangering the lives of others.
39:15His alibi had spared him a prison sentence.
39:17But he lost his job
39:20and his reputation was completely destroyed.
39:22Her company fired her immediately.
39:25to stifle the media scandal.
39:27Our family went bankrupt.
39:29They had to sell the house and the cars
39:33to pay for legal fees and damages.
39:37Unable to cope with the crazy woman who had become a mother,
39:40Dad took what little money was left
39:42and left with Nia.
39:44Even if Nia was a bad seed,
39:47She was his only remaining living lineage.
39:50Before leaving,
39:51Nia tried to retrieve her green bracelet.
39:55Dad crushed her into a thousand pieces.
39:57What the hell do you want to do with this waste?
39:59Nia was forcibly taken away while crying.
40:03Mother was released on bail.
40:06Psychiatric evaluations have shown
40:08that she suffered from severe schizophrenia
40:11and a USPT.
40:13She was left alone
40:15in a cheap, smelly rental apartment,
40:18imbued with the memory of my decomposing corpse.
40:21His mental state deteriorated rapidly.
40:24She constantly had hallucinations,
40:28imagining myself still in the house.
40:30She refused to remove my red bracelet.
40:34In fact, she became dependent on it.
40:37because she understood that it wasn't by wearing it
40:39and feeling the slight sting of electrical leaks,
40:42that she could sense my presence.
40:44I was floating in the room,
40:45observing his daily descent into madness.
40:49She was preparing a whole table of food
40:52and shouted into the void.
40:55Lily, come to the table.
40:56I didn't put any celery in today.
40:59It's all roast pork, your favorite.
41:01Then she took a piece of meat.
41:04Her hands were trembling violently,
41:06triggered by her anxiety,
41:08the bracelet was flashing red.
41:10I don't deserve to move.
41:12Those with mental disorders must be punished.
41:13She put down her chopsticks.
41:15and grabbed the remote control.
41:18She applied it against her own neck.
41:22Even though the battery was almost dead,
41:25she always managed to get to a new hole.
41:30The intense voltage caused her to convulse and squirm.
41:35Did Lily really suffer that much pain?
41:38I'm sorry.
41:41I can feel it now.
41:44She began to punish herself.
41:46according to what I had noted in my journal.
41:49I was punished for not eating celery.
41:52So she forced herself to eat rancid food and to vary her diet.
41:57Even when she vomited blood,
41:59She swallowed it again.
42:01I was locked in the dark.
42:03So she would lock herself in the dark room.
42:07He repeatedly banged his head against the ground,
42:10in front of my commemorative portrait.
42:13Boom!
42:14Until his forehead was nothing but a bloody mess,
42:17leaving bloody footprints all over the floor.
42:21In the dead of night,
42:22She could see the red light reflected on the wall,
42:25like my bloodshot eyes staring back at her.
42:29On the back of the newspaper,
42:30She scribbled in red ink.
42:33I'm sorry.
42:35I was wrong.
42:36Red represents pain.
42:38Red is love.
42:40Please come back.
42:41Tell me one last time that you're in pain.
42:43I will save you, I promise.
42:45What a shame I'm already dead.
42:48Dead girls do not feel pain.
42:51My mother ended up being confined to a psychiatric ward.
42:55His severe self-harm had reached a point
42:58where she had almost electrocuted herself at home.
43:01Adult protection services intervened.
43:05and had him committed.
43:06She was the strangest patient in the entire center.
43:11She had always found a red plastic ring.
43:16He had tightened it firmly around his neck.
43:19It was her handmade truth bracelet.
43:22If someone tried to take it from him,
43:25She was biting him frantically,
43:27like a rabid dog.
43:29Don't touch my light.
43:30If you take it away, Lily will get angry.
43:33She had developed a terrifying conditioned reflex.
43:39Every time he was asked
43:41"Evelyne, have you eaten?"
43:43She first touched his neck,
43:45Then she convulsed, screaming.
43:47"Red light! Don't electrocute me!"
43:51I'm going to eat! I'm going to eat!
43:53Even if it was a scalding hot porridge,
43:56She swallowed it in one gulp.
43:58Even though it burned and blistered his esophagus,
44:02She didn't dare spit it out.
44:04She was imitating me just before I died.
44:10She used that to relive my personal hell over and over again.
44:16Years later,
44:18Mia has grown up.
44:20And she completely went off the rails.
44:24Lacking discipline and dragging its feet,
44:27this infamous reputation,
44:29She eventually managed to make her way at the very bottom of society.
44:34When she ran out of money,
44:36She remembered her mother sitting in a psychiatric hospital.
44:40She came to the hospital for a visit.
44:43Not for love, but for money.
44:47"Listen, you crazy old woman,
44:49Dad is dead.
44:50Give me the money you've hidden away.
44:52Mia was heavily made up.
44:54His face was dripping with hostility.
44:57Looking at the absolute ghost that his mother had become,
45:01She spat on the ground in disgust.
45:05"You are disgusting,"
45:07just like your dead daughter.
45:10If you don't give me the money,
45:11I'm unplugging you and sending you to keep him company.
45:15My mother, who had remained completely catatonic,
45:18suddenly raised his head at his words.
45:20Her cloudy eyes brightened for a fraction of a second.
45:24The moment she fixed her gaze on Mia,
45:27She remembered that bracelet that always shone green,
45:32who had cheated on him for ten years.
45:34"It was you!"
45:38"You lied to me!"
45:40"You were the false green light!"
45:42"You killed Lily!"
45:44"Give me back my Lily!"
45:46Her last shred of maternal love that still lingered
45:50twisted into fangs of pure vengeance.
45:54Mom suddenly jumped up,
45:57throwing himself on Mia
45:58and closed his hands in a deadly grip around her throat.
46:05"Die! Go to hell!"
46:07You should have been there!
46:09Help!
46:10Mia struggled, terrified.
46:12She could not break the brute force of a madwoman.
46:15The doctors had to rush in.
46:18and inject him with a powerful sedative
46:20to finally detach it.
46:22Mia, frightened,
46:25took off at full speed
46:27and fled.
46:29"You bunch of sickos! You're all crazy!"
46:31Blinded by panic,
46:33She had rushed towards the hospital gates.
46:36A delivery truck speeding
46:39was unable to brake in time.
46:41Boom!
46:42Mia was thrown into the air.
46:46She survived.
46:47but his legs were completely crushed.
46:52condemned to spend the rest of their miserable lives
46:55in a wheelchair
46:57reduced to a state of absolute infirmity.
47:01As for Mom,
47:03She was strapped to a restraint bed.
47:07tears were streaming down her face,
47:10while she stared at the ceiling.
47:12In his dreams,
47:13She finally saw me.
47:15The dream self was only ten years old at the time.
47:19wearing a white dress,
47:21without a truth bracelet
47:23running towards her with a radiant smile.
47:26She opened her arms to grab me.
47:30But his hands crackled with electricity.
47:33the second she touched me.
47:36My body caught fire like dry paper.
47:39Disintegrating into blood,
47:43She woke with a start from this nightmare.
47:46His heart rate rises.
47:49If she was still wearing the bracelet,
47:51It would undoubtedly be red,
47:53blinding and piercing now.
47:55It was an eternal and inescapable pain.
47:59I stood in the void,
48:02watching everything unfold,
48:05watching my mother being tortured in a psychiatric hospital
48:08watching Mia beg with broken legs,
48:11watching Dad pass away prematurely,
48:15ravaged by alcohol.
48:17Yet, in my heart,
48:19I felt absolutely no thrill of revenge.
48:24just total peace.
48:26Standing next to me was an old dog.
48:30It was Snowball,
48:32the puppy I had when I was little,
48:35before mom gets rid of it.
48:37He was waiting for me in the spirit world.
48:40He nudged my leg and barked softly.
48:44As if to say,
48:46Let's go, don't look anymore.
48:49Yeah, it was time to leave.
48:52This life had been too bitter.
48:55There was nothing left to hold on to.
48:57I floated to the window of my mother's room.
49:01It was for a final farewell.
49:04Mother was lying on the bed,
49:06resembling a skeletal ghost.
49:09Her hair was completely white.
49:11Sensing something,
49:13Her glassy eyes turned towards an empty point in the air.
49:18The exact spot where I was standing.
49:21Lili, is that you?
49:23She waited for a trembling hand,
49:27blindly grasping at nothingness.
49:30I broke the little gracelet,
49:32I don't believe it at all anymore.
49:35Please come back, okay?
49:37I'm going to cook you a nice little dish without celery.
49:40I'll buy you a new dress.
49:42I won't buy any for Mia.
49:45Tears trickled from the corner of her eyes.
49:48soaking the pillow.
49:49I was looking at the bloody scars around his neck.
49:54And I let out a soft sigh.
49:56I reached out and pressed a finger of ice against his forehead.
50:03That was the last ounce of pity I had for her.
50:09Let her sleep.
50:10When you sleep, it doesn't hurt anymore.
50:14She calmed down instantly.
50:17her heavy eyelids closing,
50:19as she fell into a deep sleep.
50:22A gust of wind swept through the room,
50:25opening the damaged newspaper on the bedside table.
50:29The only possession the police had returned to him,
50:33on the very last page,
50:36just below my farewell words,
50:38there were a few new lines,
50:41in jagged handwriting,
50:44Written by mom, in a rare moment of lucidity.
50:47In the next life, let me wear the bracelet.
50:50Let me be the liar.
50:52You can punish me.
50:54As long as you don't abandon me,
50:56I'll do anything.
50:58I looked at those words without feeling anything at all.
51:03It was too late.
51:05Facing death,
51:07All the repentance in the world is vain and useless.
51:11Mother, I don't hate you anymore.
51:13But I don't love you anymore either.
51:15Mother, we will never meet again in our next lives.
51:19I turned around,
51:21walking alongside Snowball.
51:23A door of pure light appeared in the distance.
51:27This is the portal to the next reincarnation.
51:31I raised my wrist,
51:33it was the ghostly truth bracelet
51:36who had chained my soul,
51:38the nightmare that had imprisoned my entire life.
51:41I clenched my fist tightly.
51:43It shattered, dissolving,
51:46turning to stardust and vanishing into thin air.
51:51I felt an exceptional sense of relief.
51:54No red light,
51:56no discharge,
51:58no lies,
52:00Just freedom.
52:02I stepped into the light
52:04without ever turning around.
52:09The sun flooded the hospital room.
52:13A nurse pushed open the door
52:15for the morning visit.
52:17Evelyne, it's time for your medication.
52:19No response.
52:21She was completely still.
52:25The nurse approached to check.
52:28Her hands clutched the torn newspaper.
52:32A tear crystallized in the corner of her eye.
52:39And on the heart monitor next to the bed,
52:44this green wave of light representing life,
52:49had turned into a long straight line.
