Bruno, this is important.
I have to go see the family of Luigi.
Iolanda,
don't go alone.
Rosy should accompany you.
She's my cousin, not my bodyguard.
It's not a problem.
She'll keep you company.
I have to see Luigi's family. I will return tomorrow.
Do you want to go alone? Yes.
Are you sure? Yes.
Good. As you wish.
Take care. Be strong.
Have a nice trip.
Thank you.
Dalida: "A bit 'of love"
Good evening. Good evening, madame.
Prince of Wales hotel.
Dalida tried to commit suicide, at her hotel.
The singer was found lifeless by hotel staff.
One may wonder if this gesture would have a relationship
with the suicide of her companion Luigi Tenco
which occurred a month ago.
Luigi, my love, can you wait for me?
I'm waiting for you.
TWO MONTHS EARLIER
Hello.
I have a reservation. Iolanda Gigliotti.
Very well.
Here. Number 76. Third floor.
Tell me something.
Something?
I don't know. Tell me about Heidegger.
What was the book's name?
Being-Towards-Death. Being-Towards-Death...
What a good student you make, Gigliotti!
You deserve a reward.
Come here.
To be human is to be alive,
as we move towards death.
Be like a tightrope walker.
In balance between life and death, try not to fall.
I don't agree with Heidegger.
Ah good? No.
What's important is Being-Towards-Love.
No, leave the light on.
Why?
I'm afraid of the dark.
I will protect you, my angel.
I shouldn't have left her alone.
It's me, her big brother I should have protected her.
Don't worry, it's not your fault.
Bruno, here's the doctor.
Well?
May we see her?
Technically, she is no longer in a high-risk state.
But to say that she is alive... Is she getting out of it?
Physically, yes Morally,
I'm less optimistic.
That's to say?
She needs an establishment more specialized than ours.
We may need your help
We're going to transfer her.
There are very good institutions
I will give you a list. Excuse me.
Dalida! Dalida!
Dalida, a picture!
Can we see her?
We have a protocol
for people who have attempted suicide.
To keep them away from whatever reminds them of their past.
The others, that's what made her feel so low.
That's right, that's the problem.
What were your relations with her?
Before or after the divorce? I don't know...
Your meeting?
We met in a competition that I organized, at the Olympia,
which was called "Tomorrow's Number One".
That was on April 9, 1956.
In fact, I was with Bruno Coquatrix and Eddie Barclay.
Why? Are we going to the Olympia...
We can go to Longchamp...
It's my radio which organizes this contest.
Your listeners will not know if you're not there.
If you find a star, will you sign her? At your place...
We never found a single person like this. I don't know how we can do so today.
Wait, wait wait. I have an idea: 421. If I win, we'll go.
You will not win. But wait. You will play to his idea?
Yes.
Yes, Yes.
I'm going.
Her voice comes from Italy
You decideif she is able to build her name

From that moment,
I only had one obsession: To find her the best song
to make her the best. What she has become.
Mr. Balayure will see you now. Thank you.
Dalida: "Bambino"
Come in, come in!

I've got... What?
"TAGGI".
What's that? You don't know it "TAGGI"?
Taggi, it's a small pair of pants. A taggi.
You don't know it?
It's true. Why invent a word?
It's a taggi.
You know that the whole of France are asking the question?
When is the wedding?
It's not the moment, Dali.
Why?
Because... How can I say it?
Because... a wedding, needs to be organized.
Exactly.
You're in concert all the time.
And whose fault is that?
Excuse me to have fulfilled your dream.
My dream, is to have a child with my husband
The stars don't have the time to get pregnant. And then, we have all our lives for that.
Not when you're a woman.
We will do it.
No, wait, wait
There, I just got divorced.
Look at this magnificent career which we both have built, together.
This is also our baby.
I am tired.
The light is hurting my eyes.
Honey, I know that you are tired.
But we have nine songs this year.
This is historic. It never happened.
We have to think of this for the time being.
What's the matter?
Do you ever see me as a woman?
Just a woman. But of course, dear, yes!
I love you. You know that I love you.
But your love life is also with the public.
And with you.
First with you.
I want to prepare dinner for you, have a child,
become a normal woman.
All the normal women dream of becoming like you
I dream of becoming like them.
She waited a long time for Lucien.
They should have married earlier.
It was very important to her.
For any woman, right?
Dalida is not just "any woman".
No.
She is an "extraordinary" beauty.
In the sense that it's out of the ordinary.
Do you understand?
When she was young,
she was different.
CAIRO, AUTUMN 1940
She had to stay in the dark for 40 days.
She was searching for the light.
It's like that... that she had her eyes closed.
It was only the music of my father which calmed her.
She hated her glasses.
LE CLAIR, SPRING 1940
Four eyes!
Very nasty!
Very ugly!
FOUR EYES!! FOUR EYES!!
Horrible! Frightful!
She was someone who had to shape an image.
STOP!
Come on, girls!
Go away! You will all be punished.
Come, lolanda.
Let's go, come on.
Don't Cry. The Lord is always on the side of the humiliated.
The look of others on her
was always...
important.
That was her obsession.
The day she removed her glasses,
it was like a rebirth for her.
Wait!
OK. Cross.
P. GIGLIOTTI Violin Teacher
Look at the beautiful dress your mother has made you
I have no use for it since I'm ugly.
Don't say this.
I forbid you to say this or even to think it.
You, you're the most beautiful girl...
My love, you are magnificent.
Go open the door. Your brother must have forgotten his keys.
Pietro Gigliotti?
Yes, that's me.
You're under arrest. Why? I've done nothing wrong.
You're working with the Nazis, along with the rest of the wops.
How's that?
I don't understand. I have nothing to do with any of this.
Shut your mouth. Let's go. I'm a musician! I did not do anything!
I'M A MUSICIAN!
HE HAS DONE NOTHING WRONG!
WHERE ARE YOU TAKING HIM?
LEAVE ME! I'VE DONE NOTHING!
DADDY!
IOLANDA! DADDY!
What do you say Mrs. Morisse?
I don't love you anymore.
We're just friends.
So?
Thank you! Thank you very much!
A kiss, if you please.
A smile! Dalida!
If you please! Dalida!
This way!
Dalida! Lucien! Just one smile.
Dalida, some words if you please.
Thank you, gentlemen
Thank you very much.
Come on, champagne!
I find you ungrateful.
I insisted to go to the Olympia.
You insisted?
Is it the same story?
It was a roll of dice.
Yes, yes, of course, that's it...
He owes you everything.
Have you seen my wife?
With her brother.
What's wrong? You're sad?
I would have loved it if Mum had been here.
Even your dress is sad
No, the dress is fine.
Are you sure?
If the dress is fine, you are fine.
CANNES ONE MONTH LATER
And I had to insist that you should come! No!
But yes! Look at you, now.
Too bad, for Lucien. He stayed in Paris.
He's working... We also have work in Cannes!
Do you want to dance? I don't dance to fast songs.
I'm not in a hurry, you know
It's not your lucky day. Come.
You're lovely. Thank you very much.
My name is Jean. Jean Sobieski. And you?
Me?
Yes, you You have a first name.
Yes. My name is lolanda.
You are very, very beautiful, lolanda.
Thank you.
Sobieski, where does that come from?
From Poland. My grand father was the king of Poland.
Ah yes? But no more since the revolution.
A fallen prince. Even more moving.
It's you who are moving
You are... terribly moving.
JEAN SOBIESKY Dalida's new lover
Is it true?
Yes.
Can't you be more discreet?
We just got married.
Is it my lack of discretion that bothers you?
Among other things Good?
What do you want me to tell you?
Whether you're silly on the arm of this coward?
He just wants to make himself known.
He doesn't care, to be known. He's a bohemian.
"Bohemian"... Yes.
He'll fuck you career in the air.
Are we talking about my career? Again. Just watch out.
You can slide as fast as you went up.
What I did, I can undo. It was not you who made me
It's the public. Your audience, they listen to my radio.
Your old style is out of luck, it's over.
Today, is the twist, the rock.
You're already tacky.
Nerd? I snap my fingers,
and you disappear just as fast as you have come.
My poor Lucien.
Do you believe that I need you to exist?
You can even keep the apartment.
Dalida: "Le temps des fleurs"
♪♪ It was the time of the flowers
♪♪ The fear was unknown
♪♪ The aftermath had A taste of honey
♪♪ Your arm took my arm
♪♪ Your voice followed my voice
♪♪ We were young and we believed in heaven
Shall I eat it?
It's "Al Dente" pasta!
You have a little bit of...
It's not good for you voice.
Yes, I know...
I need to stop.
You need to stop singing.
Why?
To be my muse
But I'm your muse.
♪♪ And tonight, I'm in front of the door
♪♪ Of the tavern from where you will never come
The games are marked.
♪♪ And the song that the night brings me
♪♪ My heart has already forgotton it
♪♪ It was the time of the flowers
♪♪ The fear was unknown
♪♪ The aftermath had A taste of honey
♪♪ Your arm took my arm
♪♪ Your voice followed my voice
Do you know what I love here?
The view?
What else?
The Eiffel tower?
What else? I don't know.
There is a workshop, for you painting.
Peter Benenson, the English lawyer,
has created a movement for Human Rights
which he has called Amnesty International.
It's an organisation...
Tell me. What is the problem?
I don't have any words. Why? Explain.
"Orlando"? You took the name of our brother!
I don't see the problem.
It's ridiculous. It is as if you wanted to take his place.
Stop psychoanalysing everything.
You sing like you sister and your name is like your brother's.
You think you are the center of the universe.
I'm the one who sings, okay?
Hold on for a second.
Say I'm right.
He can't impose his choices, like you.
He never imposed anything.
It was you who chose us Dalida? Yes.
What will Orlando say?
Orlando agrees. He said yes.
You do what you want.
It's your Olympia.
I can't stop you from controlling it.
She asked me. The public demands it.
The public demands it? Not to me, listen.
Well, you're my friend...
You also are my friend.
But I warn you, we won't play any of her songs on the radio,
no promotions will be made.
For us, she is finished.
I'm not saying this because...
You know me, I can take a step back.
What is going on today?
It's rock, yeyees. You know that.
Yes I agree with you.
But how do you want me to refuse her this?
I don't know...
Ah! Well...
No, no...
I'm at the Olympia, for the great premiere of Dalida,
who certainly qualifies here finally.
Mister, are you with or against Dalida?
An adulterous woman should not be allowed on stage.
But you are here.
We bought the tickets a long time ago.
I say it's a shame.
This is the first reaction hot,
but can be rather icy.
The water pressure is bad. We'll have to tell Francois.
Are you okay?
Do you need anything?
Can you get rid of this?
Is it a crown?
Who is the fool who put it there?
François, what is happening here?
I told everyone...
We are still at the Olympia, where unlike...
You think he's coming? Sobieski?
He's not on the guest list.
Why as soon as women deceive their husbands,
they leave them? Not everyone has your qualities.
Good evening. Charming.
Did you see that? Everybody is here.
The vultures. They are ready to execute her.
It doesn't even make me happy.
Where are our seats? There's your name. It's in front.
See you later. Good night.
Come on, my love.
Come on, my love, don't let me down.

Magnificent! Absolutely magnificent.
Bravo.
Thank you.
That day, she understood that she loved us both.
It was her somewhat schizophrenic side.
Meaning? In a manner of speaking
Iolanda loved me, and Dalida loved Lucien.
Did that hurt you?
Hello. Hello.
Bye.
It suits you like that.
Thank you. Do you like it?
I bring you the renewal of your contract.
Yes, it's been 10 years.
It's fucking good.
Good. What did you want to tell me?
We've been thinking. With Bruno...
Yes, I was thinking that the situation
was a bit stupid. I've been here for a long time.
I deal with artists...
on the contrary, Dali remained all alone to manage her career.
So...
In short... we will...
We will build our own production agency.
I should forget everything, then.
It's the first time that a woman leaves me.
It's your party, right?
I don't leave my friend. I know
Good. What are your plans?
San Remo.
Yes. San Remo, the festival?
She will be the godmother of an Italian singer
called Luigi Tenco.
She has a ticket to play in Italy.
And so it would be a shame...
When there is an audience. It must be taken.
No?
I don't see what you will be gaining, but you have to listen to your...
producer.
That's true.
Yes.
If I had not organized the meeting with Luigi,
we would not be here.
It was his way of life.
We could not intervene.
Luigi Tenco: "Angela"
I don't agree with Heidegger.
Ah well? No.
What's important is being "true to love".
I like your understanding of philosophy, Gigliotti.
All the credit goes to you, Professor.
That's true. All the credit goes to me.
I love you.
Sorry. A little quiet, please.
Why did a star like you agree to come to San Remo?
For the songs of Luigi Tenco.
Do you think that Luigi Tenco can win?
Of course he can win.
Thank you all. Let's go.
The song of Ornella Vanoni would make a good chorus.
Don't you see they're using us?
It's no more art, it's a trade.
And that one who follows you everywhere.
Who? You know well.
Yes, yes, with pleasure. Let's do the pictures.
Afterwards, she must change. I will introduce you.
Don't drink too much, honey.
Do you know why I stay here?
For you.
Dali, the director of the festival.
Very honored to have you at our festival.
Good evening. They want to take pictures.
Let's do it now.
With Luigi. No.
First... Go ahead.
Yes, separately, it's better. Let's go
Camera one on the presenter.
Ladies and gentlemen
It is with pleasure I present you the 17th edition...
Luigi, it will be fine.
Of course. You will be fine.
Let us listen now
"Ciao Amare Ciao", written and performed by Luigi Tenco.
Luigi Tenco: "Ciao Amore Ciao"
You look worried. It's okay.
No worries, you will win.
I hope.
Happy? And you too? What a beautiful masquerade!
Leave me. Iolanda, please.
You are not supposed to be together. It's your turn.
I won't get there.
And now, the godmother of Luigi Tenco...
Dalida!
You song is beautiful.
It's just a loss. Next time...
For you, yes.
I make contests...
I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE CONTEST!
These people are not here for music. They understand nothing.
For them, it's a game. You understand? A game!
Not for me.
Luigi, slow down.
I beg you, slow down.
It's not a game, Dali.
I beg you, Luigi.
Luigi!
I won't come. I'm tired.
Don't give them the satisfaction.
Come.
Luigi!
Dalida: "Bang bang"
Luigi?
My love...
Luigi. Wake up!
Luigi!
It's not because I'm tired of living,
but as a protest towards an ignorant public
MURDERERS!
NO! THAT'S ENOUGH!
LEAVE ME ALONE.
THAT'S ENOUGH!
I CAN'T ANYMORE! ENOUGH!
They forbade me to go to his funeral.
They were scared that I would make a fuss.
They wanted to protect you.
That failed.
I understand your...
your pain, but...
But what?
I'm 34 years old, no love, no hope, no children.
You give hope to people.
And me! Who gives me?
Do you know what's hardest, between life and death?
No.
It's choosing how you want to live.
Death is sweet.
Still, it's...
You chose life.
No.
Death doesn't want me.

What are you doing here?
I want to introduce you...
No, wait.
Surprise!
I could not introduce him to you before.
Wonderful!
Don't you understand? he's your nephew.
He looks like you.
Go see your aunt.
This is your godchild. If you want to be his godmother.
If I accept? Of course I accept.
In the arms of his aunt.
What an angel!
He is wonderful.
Isn't he?
It's you, right?
Are you happy?
Little angel.
It's your aunt.
What's his name?
Luigi.
But if it bothers you, he has another name.
Luigi.
Luigi!
What do you think?
What do I think?
That life continues.
First time in Italy since the drama of San Remo. Are you moved?
A lot.
What are you expecting of the Partitissima contest?
Win for Luigi. Thank you.
Glad to come back?
What do you want to tell your admirers?
Hello Rome, hello Italy.
Thank you!
I'm a fan of Tenco. I would like to see you in private.
These are his poems.
Pardon?
No, the book is for you. For me?
Follow me.
No hint of the drama that she had experienced. Got it?
Good.
Please come in.
Was he nice to you? Yes.
Thank you, Mario.
Hello. Hello.
Coffee?
No, I'm fine.
How was it with Mario? He is very protective.
Yes, it wasn't bad.
So, do you like poetry. Yes.
I'm a student of literature and philosophy.
Actually, I had to stop to... work
I would like to try again.
My biggest regret is not to have studied.
You know...
I understand Tenco's gesture.
And yours too.
May I ask you one thing?
Yes.
Give it to me.
OK.
Magnificent! He is superb!
Maria Teresa, are you ok? He is handsome!
Mom, you can always change it.
We rang the doorbell.
It's beautiful. Take it.
It's your dog.
Madam,
a cetain M. Lucio.
Shall I allow him in? We don't know him.
Let him go. No no!
I go, I go.
Who is it? I don't know.
How did you come? Hitchhiking.
In this cold weather? Yes.
I wanted to see you for Christmas. You're crazy.
I'm crazy about you.
I missed you.
You too. I will introduce you to my family.
Take off your coat.
Good evening. Good evening.
Sorry.
Thank you. Come.
I present Lucio.
Good evening.
Sit down.
Good evening.
Do you want to eat? Yes, just a little.
Thank you
Merry Christmas!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Merry Christmas!
Can you explain? At home!
No one seems to have invited him.
I welcomed him.
Christmas eve, when we are all together?
He hitchhiked through Italy and France.
And you want me to send him back?
We don't invite strangers on Christmas... family only.
Respect a little your family.
Don't expose it to your...
What? My what?
Your... You understood very well.
If you're not happy, the door is wide open.
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to everyone!
Bruno!
Iolanda, what's going on?
I would like to stay here forever.
You're so beautiful.

Yes.
That's good.
He's 22. So what?
I'm 34.
So?
I can't ruin his life.
How would you spoil his life?
Marrying a kid. Imagine the newspapers.
'But who cares about newspapers. Yes!
Who's talking about marrige?
We will take care of it. Giuseppina will have another grandson.
Mamma must not know. Got it?
Good. We won't tell her. Don't you want a child?
This is not the issue.
It's the only issue.
I need a father.
For my child.
He can do without. We grew up without a father.
Do you think so?
But we are here. I could also take care of it.
It's not the life I'm dreaming about.
Life is not dreaming, it's sharing.
What a philosopher!
The boy is aware?
No?
No.
Will you tell him?
Never.
What will you do?
Here, here, here.
I don't know.

Lucio...
I had to leave earlier than expected.
Don't try to call me.
But I beg you, realize your dream.
The dream of my life.
Accept this and continue your studies.
Do it for me
I have to find myself,
Otherwise, I will lose myself again.
I'm going to stop singing
Why do you want to stop singing?
To concentrate
on my spiritual life.
You don't like to sing?
No. I love singing.
But sometimes, I feel ashamed
Of the star I’ve become just by singing.
Is that what you feel when you sing? Shame?
No.
When I sing, I become the song,
I become my public,
I become the music.
There is no division anymore.
Being awake spiritually,
is like being one with yourself.
You are naturally awake when you sing.
Your mission in life, is to sing.
This is how you help others.
You feel a lot more serene.
Much calmer.
Yes, I went through a lot of suffering.
And after my suicide attempt, I tried to understand.
The other day, I was with Lucien. Lucien Morisse, my ex husband.
And I told him
Lucien, you know me, you know my life
I went from one man to another.
But my search was always for love, the truth.
And I'm sure that love exists.
The love that runs through men, it leads to God.
Do you still love her? What are you talking about?
And me, do you love me? Of course, I love you, darling.
Then stop playing.
The bank phoned again this morning. Yes, I'm on it.
But really?
Are you doing it tomorrow? Hush, I would like to listen.
It's stronger than us. It's love.
I want to sing “I'm sick”.
It's not you at all.
It's what I've become.
Not for your audience, they want to dream. Leave the depression to Serge Lama.
He's not wrong.
My public like it when I tell them the truth.
Dali, I've always supported you, but like this, I don’t think so.
So... let us use your hall.
What? You rent us your hall.
Yes.
Dalida is the Olympia. She won't sing elsewhere.
Listen, I can only ask, but I know nothing about letting it,
I'm only a producer. You're asking the impossible
Do you think that...
that...
this can make things a tiny bit...
more possible?
What do you think?
I think.

Can’t you see that you were a text singer.
You did not want to believe me.
I'm proud of you. And Lucien.
He's with us, you know.
With us.
DALIDA! DALIDA! DALIDA!
Listen. Listen.
DALIDA! DALIDA! DALIDA!
I'm doing my best to be happy.
But death roams like a wild beast
around me.
When I was young, I wanted my father to die.
Mmm.
When he returned from the camp,
he was so hurt.
Morally and physically.
He hit me and my brothers too.
But when he hit my mother, that's where I wanted him to die.
And he is dead.
I felt...
guilty.
Guilty.
As for Lucien and Luigi.

Dalida used us for her electrifying love.
It wasn’t really a surprise.
Rumor or true love?
Subjugated by the charm of Dalida, he summons her to his office
Again? Stop. You know it's not true.
My love!
My love. Come.
My love.
Stop.
People believe that you have something going with Delon.
What people?
What do you mean “what people”?
Everybody. Your fans, everyone.
You made a cover with him... you know how they are.
But stop, my love.
You know how much I love you.
There's no love,
there is only evidence of love.
What more do you want?
Tell me, what is it that you want? I don’t know...
We can do a record together.
But, darling, you are not a singer.

I don't need pity. Really.
I don't care about this record.
Richard, stop acting like a child.
Stop.
I've gained weight.
And I have not had my period.
I may be pregnant.
We should do further tests.

Are you sure?
Will you help me?
OK?
Yes.
Sure?

That’s the diamond record.
Who would have thought? Dalida
managed to seduce the American audience…
She did not hesitate to enchant us in the capital of showbusiness…
…in a concert given at Carnegie Hall.
“Gigi L’amoroso” more successful in Europe
than Sinatra’s “Strangers in the Night”.
At 46, Dalida never ceases to surprise us.
Dalida celebrates 25 years of songs
with an American-style show.
A risk for the star who has sold 67 million records.
Exclusively for “Soir 3”, this show is broadcast in Paris.
Here’s Dalida!

Hello.
Hello and congratulations, Dalida.
I'm all covered in sweat.
A towel has been provided. Thank you, Jacqueline.
Dalida, I was able to attend these rehearsals
which promise an exceptional show.
You have practiced for 10 weeks with Lester Wilson… present here.
Lester, come.
Very well...
Hello, Lester Wilson,
the famous choreographer
of “Saturday Night Fever”.
A show whose poster
has already made a lot of noise.
You know, I come from a catholic family.
It was difficult to lose...
How do you say in French? "Shyness"
We say modesty, but "shyness" is very pretty.
When I see how young you look,
I can’t believe you're already celebrating 20 years of music.
It's been a quarter of a century.
You don’t look it at all… at all.
Then, mix in one show
“Bambino”, “Je suis Malade”...
and all your disco hits,
it's a big challenge.
You are the only artist to use So many vocals.

Ah, do you recognize “mamma”?
My little baby, are you sad?
I'm sad too.
Did you drink?
Ask the question. Why do I drink?
It's my fault.
Ah! yes, my love..
My star!
You smell of Shalimar.
Are you jealous, darling?
I would not have looked elsewhere, if you haven't refused me.
You disgust me.
How do you want us to stay together if we don't make love anymore?
How can we make love if you behave like a child?
I swear to you, one day, it's you who will come and beg me. Do you hear?
IT'S YOU! Leave me! Leave me!
With these two...
How do you say "to ski" in Italian?
In Italian, it's "scii".
Thanks.
You have to talk to her.
Are you going to tell her? What?
That she must stop forcing herself to vomit.
I don't know what to say.
She's afraid to get fat... Leave her alone.
Always the same.
Cheers!
To you success!
To my brother Bruno, everyone!
To your success at the “Palais Des Sports”.
Happy New Year!
Your voice is loud, eh.
So?
And that's trashy... Don't touch!
These aging stars,
we can’t tell them anything.
Clear off.
The restaurant, my life, everything. Clear off.
Excuse me?
Can you repeat? Not everyone heard you.
GET OUT!
Bruno, you must not interfere.
Happy New Year.
Richard!
It's OK. Richard.
To the “Palais Des Sports”. To the “Palais Des Sports”.
It’s over! Do you understand? It’s over.
Calm down. Get out!
After all what I did for you?
Get out!
No, it mustn’t end it like this.
I don’t love you anymore.
But calm down. Calm down!
Again! Calm down, again?
Stop, I said, fuck! Stop!
You can’t tell me that.
I swear, I’ll stop my bullshit.
STOP, FUCK!
STOP. CAN'T YOU SEE IT'S ME?
You think you're going

TWO YEARS LATER
What do you want to eat tonight?
Some soup?
An omelet?
No, I would like some pasta.
Pasta? Pasta. Yes.
Like yesterday? Yes. Yes.
What is she doing? Is she laughing?
She may not be so bad.
We’ll see.
OK.
May I? Yes.
Hello.
Look.
How is it going?
Well.
She's watching De Funès. Otherwise she sleeps all day.
And at night, nothing. She's not doing well at all.
She’s very tired.
That’s normal, she only eats pasta.
What’s worse, she makes herself vomit afterwards.
I had to adjust all her dresses.
And then her eyes, too. The lights,
they hurt her terribly.
I understand, I understand. She can’t stand anymore.
Are you always with her?
Of course. She needs me all day long.
We need to find an apartment elsewhere
You can’t stay here all the time.
So?
Don’t you want the curtains open? The weather is beautiful outside.
No... No, Bruno, thank you.
My eyes are hurting me.
Yeah... I have good news for you
Youssef Chahine offers you a role in his new film.
That's good.
Yes.
You have to get back in shape.
Do you understand?
OK with this?
OK. Good.
Thanks.
CAIRO. ON SET "SIXTH DAY" 1986
I like many things.
I cannot describe them to you...
Is there someone in your life? Yes.
What’s his name? Michel.
How old is Michel?
50.
Oh! Is he your husband?
No.
I need to go do my makeup... or they will kill me!
Is it true that you have already died once?
Not exactly.
Is death scary?
No. It's like a dream.
Come on, Hassan. We are late. You have to do your makeup now.
Now, Hassan!
The Egyptian star Dalida was welcomed...
by a welcoming parade reserved to heads of states
following the success of the film “The 6th Day”, directed by Youssef Chahine.
What gave you the idea, of bringing us here?
I wanted to drive in front of our house.
He could have avoided sending us a convertible, anyway.
Stop gesticulating!
Calm down.
Defend yourself a little.
This is wonderful. They are here for us.
Thanks.
Happy? Yes.
Do you like the music Yes.
But I warn you,
I don’t want to hear a whisper.
Total silence during the rehersal. OK?
Perfect. Let’s go.
You will eat at the house.
What are you doing here all alone?
You could have called me, still.
It's okay? We would have eaten together.
You eat alone? You're crazy.
So? Everything is fine.
I have spoken with the producers of the comedy musical “Cleopatra”.
That’s great.
It will be done. They assured me.
I'm happy. Good.
Do you want a cigarette? Yes.
I can’t quit, but I don’t care.
I have something for you.
Oh?
What is it?
I knitted it.
You did this? Yes
That's wonderful!
It’s superb.
It's very beautiful. Bravo!
You will think of me.
I always think of you.
So, will we eat together tomorrow?
Tomorrow, I'm going to the theater with Michel.
Oh yes, I forgot.
All the better. Let’s make it Sunday.
With pleasure.
As usual. Yes.
Can we have a glass of wine here?
Waiter! Yes, I'm yours.
He is coming.
Here.
I must quit. Yes, you told me.
I must quit. I know.
Me too.
Is everything OK?
Michel will come
To pick you up? Yes.
Shall I wait with you?
No, but you're very kind, Jacqueline.
Sure you don’t want
me to stay here tonight?
No, he's going to sleep here tonight.
OK. Good night.
Good night.
Jacqueline, please don’t wake me up
tomorrow morning. Okay.
