00:04Béli, are you alright?
00:05Are you doing okay?
00:07Oh yes!
00:08Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, I don't even know how to...
00:13Finally, it's incredible.
00:14What are you talking about?
00:15I don't play the humble heroine.
00:17You know what I'm talking about.
00:19Your father crossed this notch and he told him that the slate was blank.
00:22He would never ask us for anything again.
00:23He also told us that the entire debt had been paid in good name.
00:28Mom, I'm so happy.
00:30You saved us, Béli.
00:33Mom, just, I...
00:36Yes.
00:37You know, I've been cleaning up after Dad for years.
00:43That...
00:44That you are counting on me.
00:46And...
00:47Well, I couldn't be there for you indefinitely while depriving myself.
00:51Because nobody is there for me.
00:54I...
00:55I have to take care of myself alone.
00:58Béli, we're not asking you to...
01:01Finally, we...
01:02Yes, Mom.
01:03You're asking a lot of me.
01:04And I'm not talking about money because it's one thing to help you when...
01:08When Dad messed everything up, it was an emergency situation.
01:11But beyond that, I...
01:14I feel like I live for you.
01:16Do you understand?
01:17To live for us?
01:18What are you talking about ?
01:19Do you live alone?
01:20You...
01:21Do you make your own choices?
01:22Are you practically engaged?
01:25Finally, I...
01:27And have you ever been prevented from doing anything?
01:29Just once?
01:30Don't you understand, Mom?
01:35In fact, there's what you see and what's going on in my head.
01:37So yes, I am independent.
01:41But I am bound to you.
01:42And it's not because we're a family, it's because you ask a lot of me.
01:46Too much.
01:46I must always be available; I must make sure everyone is okay.
01:49that Michael and Lucie succeed at school,
01:51I hope Malcolm doesn't get fired from his job, that he goes back to college.
01:54that you and Dad reconcile when you're on bad terms
01:55that they don't mess up our family, our contemporary...
01:59But we're here for you too.
02:02We're thinking of you.
02:03No.
02:05No, Mom, that's wrong.
02:07You're forgetting about me.
02:09Finally, even my own birthday.
02:11You don't give a damn because you see me as the big girl.
02:14You see me as the one who keeps her mouth shut, the one who's in control,
02:17The one who takes it in stride, the one who has a structured life.
02:21But I swear, my life isn't that straightforward.
02:23Sometimes it's chaos, sometimes I can't breathe.
02:25And I, too, would like us to put in some...
02:27I'd really like to have a shoulder to lean on, just...
02:30Damn, just that someone asks me if I'm okay.
02:33In fact, just because you can count on me doesn't mean I have...
02:35I have ceased to be your child.
02:39That I no longer had the right to be a child.
02:42But I...
02:47I don't understand what you're saying.
02:48But I'll try.
02:50I didn't think so.
02:50Actually, I figured that as long as you were standing up, everything was fine...
02:54It might sound silly, but it's...
02:56That's how I was raised.
02:59It's true that you manage a lot of things, Bidou.
03:01It's good.
03:02I'm proud of you.
03:03But I'm going to have to start thinking about myself a little, you understand?
03:06And I'm going to need you to make everyone understand that.
03:08I hope you'll support me a little.
03:10I need it.
03:11Okay, my daughter.
03:14I know that it is...
03:15Mom !
03:17Lucia has returned.
03:18I...
03:19I think she wants to talk to me.
03:21I'm going to go.
03:22That works.
03:24And...
03:26I'm sorry.
03:28Anyway, you should come next week.
03:30I'll make a cheesecake for your birthday.
03:32I know you like that.
03:33You're kind.
03:35I am always traveling.
03:36You know, for work, but...
03:39But take note, why not?
03:41And that doesn't have to be for my birthday.
03:44Yes.
03:44That's true, she's working on it.
03:46Well, listen, whatever you want.
03:48For me, at least, that would be a pleasure.
03:50Thanks again for the debt.
03:52Well, no, not for them.
03:54For everything, in fact.
03:57And sorry.
