I'm a pretty ordinary guy
Sometimes
I feel like doing nothing at all
I'd smoke weed, I'd drink beer
I'd play music
With Big Pierre
But I need to think about my career
I'm a popular singer
You want me to be a God
If only you knew how old I feel
I can't sleep anymore, I'm too nervous
When I'm singing is when I feel best
But this job is perilous
The more you give
The more they want...
I won't lie to you, Sylvette.
I want us to do lots of things,
but just for ourselves.
What does that mean?
It means I don't want children.
Antoinette.
Jean-Damien.
Lucette.
Jean-Sylvain.
Jean-Bobin.
Jean-Colin.
Jeannette.
Pierrette.
Claudette...
and Jean-Claudin!
You didn't want kids at first, Anglomard.
Our eldest is pregnant.
You're going to be a grandfather!
They're all taken care of.
I put the twins in school this very morning.
I want to take everything the Lord gives us.
God knows I love all 13 with all my heart, Father.
I know.
But now,
I'm just too old.
What if this one comes out abnormal?
Or if there's no mother for the others?
What did he say?
"That's utter nonsense, Mrs. Dieu."
Better not to ask.
I found it.
What?
We'll name her "Aline".
Didn't we say "Poupette"?
Nope... Aline!
Aline Dieu.
It's better.
Yes...
Are you Mommy's little baby?
Are you her last little one?
Yes!
The Dieu Family Band!
Have you seen Aline?
Seen Aline?
Go on!
Your turn, baby.
Come.
- You okay? - Yes.
I left one summer night
Without a word, without a kiss goodbye
Without looking back at the past
Oh, the past
Once I crossed the border
Wind blowing stronger than yesterday
When I was near you, my mother
Oh, my mother
Oh Mamy
Oh Mamy, Mamy blue,
Oh Mamy blue
Not tonight, unfortunately.
She has school tomorrow!
I understand, but she's up to 3 a.m. every weekend.
That's right.
See you Saturday.
Did you hear that?
"If the kid's not singing, we're not coming."
Here are the results of Tuesday's dictation.
Josephine, A+.
Miss Dieu.
Miss Dieu!
A nice F, like last week.
Goodnight, honey.
- Mom? - Yes, lovie?
You know what I want most?
No.
To become a great singer.
I know, sweetie.
Mommy has something big in mind.
What is it?
It's you.
Listen to me, Jean-Bobin.
She can't become a circus freak singing hits like a chimp.
She needs a song of her own.
For her!
We're no dumber than the others. We'll write it.
I will!
And you'll write the music.
You can get help from Jean-Colin, Jean-Claudin or Jean-Sylvain.
We can do it!
And then,
and only then,
you'll send it to the guy you mentioned.
But not before.
12 years old.
The box.
The box...
Wait.
Red...
brings good luck.
Good.
In 2 hours it'll be on his desk.
Tonight, I bet
we'll get the call.
Because this here
is good.
Very good!
Very, very good!
Jeez, it's chilly!
Who does this manager think he is? He could call!
He's not on tour with a singer?
He has no more singers.
His biggest star dumped him!
How do you know?
Word gets round in the biz.
Excuse me, Mr. Pro!
Maybe he's starting over in the States?
He was seen at a restaurant with his wife last night.
He's not bankrupt.
You can be bankrupt and eat out.
I'll call him.
Wait, Jean-Bobin.
Tomorrow.
Tomorrow's better.
Yes?
Thank you.
Yes, hello.
I called you twice.
Not necessary.
We left a cassette at your office.
Two weeks ago.
I just have one thing to tell you.
Had you listened to it, you'd have called back already.
Thank you.
What did he say?
He'll listen and call back.
In 10 minutes.
Answer for God's sake!
Wait!
Yes, hello?
No, I'm not her father. I'm her brother.
Yes... 12 years old, I swear.
We didn't doctor it. We're not equipped to.
Yes, when?
I'll check her agenda.
Hold on.
You're lucky. It's possible.
No, thank you!
And?
We have a meeting.
With Mr. Guy-Claude Kamar.
When?
We better leave now.
Mom!
Come on!
No need to smile so much, honey.
My beautiful girl.
Dad left this for you.
What is it?
Dunno. Said it brings good luck.
Your shoes!
Welcome, have a seat.
Mr. Kamar, we spoke on the phone.
It's really you singing on this?
Yes.
I'm talking to you, Céline.
Aline.
It's you who recorded this, Aline?
Of course it's me.
You know,
the voice I heard on it,
it's hard to believe it's yours.
That it comes from you.
Can you sing for me?
I'm used to a mike and people around.
Close your eyes.
Imagine a big audience in front of you.
Filled to the rafters with people listening.
I'll be listening too.
1,000%.
You've never heard this before in your life.
I almost cried.
The wheel of fortune turns.
The wheel of fortune turns!
Our big star may have left...
"Big" in every sense!
