Why is Dad at Jeff's? We are kids, and we need him.
Some adults stay kids their entire life.
Jeff is one of them.
And we're fine without Dad, we don't need him.
And last thing, we don't talk about the operation.
To no one! Oh, Dad's here! What is he doing here? He wants to see you before the operation.
- How are you? - How are you? You're watching us? - Yep.
How are you? - No, Nonno will watch you.

Suicide attempt? What's that language? Where's it coming from? Get inside.
I need to talk to your mom.
I want to go with you.
Look, it's hard enough as it is.
- I want you to beat it.
- Elvira, what are you doing? The kids need me while you're away.
No, my Dad will handle it fine.
You can't throw me out like this.
Not for a meaningless thing.
It is not meaningless.
They're fighting, right? Yeah.
This is weird.
It's like she's going on vacation.
- Without us.
- Seriously? I did a lot of thinking.
It's not just that you cheated, and you say it doesn't matter, but I don't believe you.
It's all the rest, the frustration, the things left unsaid.
Do you think they're lying about Jeff and that they actually had a fight? Yeah, maybe.
I don't know.
The wedding took a back seat.
- Come on, guys.
- We need to reset.
We all need to understand how we got here, okay? - Sir? - Yes.
It'll take 25 minutes.
We're going to the station, not the hospital.
Are you sure? Yes.
What is wrong with me? Fag.
With shades hanging on my back? You gave me your love You gave me more Than anyone ever gives And all I got for you Is a dark space in my heart Full of secrets and lies 'Cause I'm a sinner In the garden of your love Where there's no one else to blame But myself Open your books, page 83.

Please leave a message after the beep.
Elvira, sorry to bug you on your day off, but I have a case, an accident with puzzling dates.
There must be some mistake.
Can you call me back? Thanks.

I'm not sure.
- Hello.
- Hello.
Jeff, Patrick's brother.
I hear your brother is an excellent photographer.
Yes, he's the best in the area.
I would like him to photograph my wife.
Fifty years of marriage.
She saved my life.
A knight in shining armor, I called her my hero.
I was just a coward.
Could you do that one last time, - please? - I'll walk you out.
You have to hurry.
- I'll call this afternoon.
- Hurry.
Goodbye.
Why don't you want to do it? She's dead.
Okay, I get it.
Don't do it.
Yes, but it's really well paid, so She won't be out of focus.
She didn't return my message.
Isa.
What was it? "Call me or I'll kill myself.
" Oh, yeah That's very Yes.
I thought, if emotional blackmail doesn't work, she doesn't give a fuck.
Right? It's the 15th time I call.
Why doesn't she answer, eh? Try with your phone.
What difference will it make? She always picks up for you kids.
- Wait for the others.
- Please.
Stop.
One then, that's it.
- Mom? - I'll call you right back.
She's calling back.
- Yes, Mom.

Phones are not allowed in the rooms.
- How are you? - We're good here.
You? - Hi! - Hi! Everything's fine, don't worry.
Great.
And the room's okay? Yes, it's okay.
Are you alone? No, I'm with a woman.
She sleeps and she snores.
And what did you eat? I had a classic tray.
And, Sam, I had chocolate mousse.
I'll come to the hospital! What is Nonno saying? I'll come pick you up at the hospital.
Okay? Tell me the room number.
No, I told you.
Don't insist.
It's forbidden.
Doctors' orders.
Fuck the doctors.
Get it? I will come pick you up after the operation.
All right? - Shit! - My phone.
Shh.
It's not her fault.
Calm down.
She does whatever she wants.
It's the rules.
Honey.
- She seemed well.
- I miss Mom.
She's alone.
It makes me sad.
No, don't be sad.
She's not alone.
Cheer up and stay strong.
I wish Dad was here.
Kiss them good night and go back where you came from.
Maybe I should stay? No.
I know what you did, you know? So Look.
If anything happens to my daughter Hmm? Know that I will hold you wholly responsible.
Okay? It's your fault if she has cancer.
What are you saying? Your wife got sick because you cheated? That's why she died? I'll kiss my kids and go.
You know, your mother's a rock.
Nobody can stand up to her.
Those shitty cancer cells won't scare her.
She'll kick them out.
Knock them out.
Boom, boom, boom! It'll be okay.
I love you, Dad.
Love you, too.

What? What's starting? A BLOG AGAINST ILLNESS - My hair is brown - Easily accessible, simple, Rascals' Blog lets children create their own blog.
Virginie, ten, chose this medium to express herself about the family's ordeal.
My mom has breast cancer, and since we don't really talk about it to avoid bringing everyone down, I write this blog on my own to tell the other kids who have a sick mom there's hope.
Virginie tells the story of a family.
A family almost like any other.
Her father, her brother, her sister and her mother, Patricia, suffering from breast cancer.
At the beginning, we didn't talk about it, Mom didn't want people to know.
She didn't want to upset us, so Yeah, I started this blog and I was able to express a lot of things.
We didn't know.
She did that on her own.
I heard her talk, but I thought she talked alone.
I do that all the time.
We don't communicate much except to scream at each other.
Like any other family.
For me, Internet Don't tell the others, but she's my favorite.
That's a lie, I never said that crap.
It was edited.
I'd like to become a YouTuber, not to talk about my mom's cancer, to make people laugh.
In the meantime, Virginie prepares her next entry, a poem for her mom.
- Leave me.
- Mom, you are so brave You could defeat a tidal wave Because you're strong you will heal And because your love is so real It's already over.
Wasn't it great? You okay, Mom? Mom? Nobody will know, we called you Patricia.
You're smoking again? How could you let that happen? It made the girl happy.
Shit! How was I supposed to know it was a mistake? What will you do? I don't know.
You want me to talk to the kids? If you talk to the kids, I'll kill you.
Don't take this out on me.
I have no words.
I spent my whole life fixing your shit.
You're the one who failed the kids, not I.
What about you? Are you not a liar? What does that mean? Why wasn't I at Mom's funeral? You said she was on vacation.
- What to say? - On vacation! - What else? - Liar.
- You were a child.
- Go.
But now you have to deal with things on your own.
I'd like to see how you get by without me.
Exactly, and I'm tired! I'm done! Go away! - One for my friend.
- Yes.
What? You look upset.
Okay.
The guy didn't show up.
There was a slight problem.
We said I should be paid this time.
You will.
I trusted you.
Trust? Eh.
Maria Magdalena.
So? What about trust? - Where? - The Nice Casino.
Simon saw her the other night.
He told Matteo.
Isn't that worth a lot? Why Nice? You want me to ask around? Yes.
So, be patient.
You'll be rewarded.
My father used to say, "What you give time time will give back to you.
