This story is based on actual events

00:00:39,376 --> 00:00:42,501
THE INNOCENTS

3
00:02:00,001 --> 00:02:02,793
Poland, December 1945

4
00:03:16,584 --> 00:03:18,168
Sister, Sister!

5
00:03:25,168 --> 00:03:27,584
- Got money?
- Take me to a doctor.

6
00:03:27,668 --> 00:03:29,626
Give me 10 zlotys.

7
00:03:29,959 --> 00:03:33,334
- No money.
- I'll help if you give me something.

8
00:03:36,543 --> 00:03:39,751
Will this do?
Not a Polish or Russian doctor.

9
00:03:39,834 --> 00:03:40,876
All right.

10
00:04:23,168 --> 00:04:24,501
What's that nun?

11
00:04:26,001 --> 00:04:27,668
So, happy to be leaving?

12
00:04:41,084 --> 00:04:43,293
Let's prepare the next departure.

13
00:04:45,334 --> 00:04:47,668
Do you see any penicillin here?

14
00:04:48,334 --> 00:04:49,834
No, there's none left.

15
00:04:51,043 --> 00:04:52,501
This is all we have.

16
00:04:54,876 --> 00:04:58,459
- Are you pinching it for yourself?
- Very funny.

17
00:04:59,709 --> 00:05:01,959
- Doctor...
- I'm busy right now.

18
00:05:02,793 --> 00:05:05,376
We need you in here.

19
00:05:07,001 --> 00:05:09,834
- I need help.
- I don't understand.

20
00:05:10,543 --> 00:05:12,084
Sick woman... Polish.

21
00:05:13,293 --> 00:05:15,001
Only French here.

22
00:05:17,418 --> 00:05:18,709
She'll die.

23
00:05:20,168 --> 00:05:21,751
Woman going to die.

24
00:05:22,668 --> 00:05:24,626
Go to the Polish Red Cross.

25
00:05:25,001 --> 00:05:27,626
I don't understand.
Help me.

26
00:05:27,709 --> 00:05:31,459
- The Polish Red Cross.
- No! I beseech you!

27
00:05:31,543 --> 00:05:33,168
I'm sorry...

28
00:05:33,751 --> 00:05:36,418
- Help me!
- The Polish, all right?

29
00:06:13,334 --> 00:06:14,501
Cut it.

30
00:06:18,501 --> 00:06:19,876
That's good.

31
00:06:20,293 --> 00:06:21,834
Finish up.

32
00:09:09,709 --> 00:09:11,084
Who is this?

33
00:09:11,834 --> 00:09:15,084
- A doctor. I was worried.
- Go to your cell.

34
00:09:22,584 --> 00:09:24,293
Do you speak French?

35
00:09:27,209 --> 00:09:28,876
Yes, I speak French.

36
00:09:33,959 --> 00:09:37,168
- Are you a doctor?
- I work with the Red Cross.

37
00:09:38,418 --> 00:09:40,126
I'm Sister Maria.

38
00:09:40,209 --> 00:09:43,168
This is our Abbess,
Mother Jadwiga Oledzka.

39
00:09:43,251 --> 00:09:44,751
Mathilde Beaulieu.

40
00:09:49,918 --> 00:09:53,126
- Has she been like this long?
- Since yesterday.

41
00:09:55,543 --> 00:09:57,376
Her family threw her out.

42
00:09:58,084 --> 00:10:01,209
We've secretly taken her in
out of charity.

43
00:10:01,293 --> 00:10:03,376
Fear not, I'm sworn to silence.

44
00:10:19,001 --> 00:10:22,126
- Is that necessary?
- Do you know another way?

45
00:10:23,459 --> 00:10:24,584
Stop it.

46
00:10:24,668 --> 00:10:26,959
- No!
- Stop resisting!

47
00:10:40,751 --> 00:10:43,501
It's a breech baby.
I'll have to operate.

48
00:10:47,418 --> 00:10:50,126
- What did she say?
- It'll be fine.

49
00:10:51,084 --> 00:10:53,959
- Fetch the priest!
- Calm down.

50
00:12:07,251 --> 00:12:08,543
The lamp.

51
00:13:08,168 --> 00:13:09,334
Hold these.

52
00:13:40,459 --> 00:13:42,959
I'll bring some penicillin tomorrow.

53
00:13:44,834 --> 00:13:48,959
Thank you, but no need.
Our herbalist has what we need.

54
00:13:51,293 --> 00:13:53,668
I want to check
there are no complications.

55
00:13:58,043 --> 00:14:00,209
Why not?
It's a simple request.

56
00:14:01,043 --> 00:14:03,459
Simple for you, but not for us.

57
00:14:05,001 --> 00:14:08,709
If the mother and baby die,
you'll be responsible too.

58
00:14:10,168 --> 00:14:12,626
Can I come back tomorrow or not?

59
00:14:17,084 --> 00:14:19,001
Come back at Lauds.

60
00:14:20,543 --> 00:14:22,418
The dawn prayer.

61
00:14:22,793 --> 00:14:26,209
- While they pray, I'll let you in.
- All right.

62
00:15:14,293 --> 00:15:15,418
Hello.

63
00:15:30,918 --> 00:15:32,501
Forgive me.

64
00:15:34,043 --> 00:15:35,501
You're here now?

65
00:15:38,043 --> 00:15:39,209
Pliers.

66
00:15:40,709 --> 00:15:42,668
I'm talking to you. Pliers.

67
00:15:47,876 --> 00:15:49,001
You just woke?

68
00:15:55,084 --> 00:15:57,126
This is bad, really bad.

69
00:16:03,168 --> 00:16:04,376
Compress.

70
00:16:07,626 --> 00:16:09,334
What were you up to all night?

71
00:16:10,876 --> 00:16:15,709
Gaspard will finish.
Get some coffee or a shot of adrenaline.

72
00:16:16,043 --> 00:16:18,084
Go and sleep. You're no use.

73
00:16:19,751 --> 00:16:22,334
- I had insomnia.
- You have insomnia?

74
00:16:22,418 --> 00:16:24,001
Since when?

75
00:16:27,209 --> 00:16:28,501
Off you go.

76
00:16:29,126 --> 00:16:30,293
Go.

77
00:16:31,834 --> 00:16:33,168
Gaspard, compress.

78
00:17:04,001 --> 00:17:07,126
You forget
our lives no longer belong to us.

79
00:17:08,709 --> 00:17:10,626
I know you've been sad

80
00:17:10,709 --> 00:17:13,959
since God summoned our sister
two months ago.

81
00:17:14,793 --> 00:17:17,043
But grief is no excuse.

82
00:17:17,918 --> 00:17:22,418
Sister, you've broken one of our rules,
that of obedience.

83
00:17:22,501 --> 00:17:24,251
And not for the first time.

84
00:17:24,334 --> 00:17:26,084
Forgive me, Mother.

85
00:17:26,668 --> 00:17:30,168
I've forgiven you before.
And I forgive you now.

86
00:17:32,626 --> 00:17:35,501
Do not try our patience again.

87
00:17:36,293 --> 00:17:40,209
You'll stay a week in your cell
and take a vow of silence.

88
00:17:40,293 --> 00:17:43,293
Sister Joanna will bring your meals.
That's all.

89
00:19:02,459 --> 00:19:05,251
- Were you seen?
- I didn't meet anyone.

90
00:19:24,001 --> 00:19:26,001
I'll need to see the scar.

91
00:19:27,168 --> 00:19:28,876
Let her see the scar.

92
00:19:31,876 --> 00:19:33,334
No...

93
00:19:36,084 --> 00:19:37,501
Tell her to let me.

94
00:19:37,584 --> 00:19:39,251
Sister, let her.

95
00:19:40,001 --> 00:19:41,376
I can't.

96
00:19:45,834 --> 00:19:47,293
I can't.

97
00:19:52,001 --> 00:19:54,418
Use the antiseptic twice daily.

98
00:20:16,168 --> 00:20:17,584
May I see the baby?

99
00:20:17,668 --> 00:20:19,793
- He's no longer here.
- What?

100
00:20:21,334 --> 00:20:23,543
Our Mother took him
to Zofia's aunt.

101
00:20:23,626 --> 00:20:27,668
- Hadn't her family rejected her?
- Her parents, yes.

102
00:20:27,751 --> 00:20:30,459
But her aunt is pious
and has many children.

103
00:20:30,543 --> 00:20:32,293
She'll look after him.

104
00:21:21,084 --> 00:21:22,418
Sister?

105
00:21:25,376 --> 00:21:26,876
Sister Anna!

106
00:21:27,834 --> 00:21:29,251
Sister...

107
00:21:41,334 --> 00:21:42,501
No.

108
00:21:44,834 --> 00:21:46,168
I don't want to.

109
00:21:48,584 --> 00:21:50,793
I don't want to die.

110
00:21:51,626 --> 00:21:53,668
Sister, leave us.

111
00:22:05,626 --> 00:22:07,709
Join me in my office.

112
00:22:09,168 --> 00:22:10,668
Follow me.

113
00:22:19,334 --> 00:22:24,376
We were persecuted by the Germans,
then the Russians arrived.

114
00:22:40,793 --> 00:22:42,793
For us, when they...

115
00:22:43,501 --> 00:22:46,584
burst into our convent, it was...

116
00:22:48,126 --> 00:22:50,668
an indescribable nightmare.

117
00:22:52,334 --> 00:22:55,501
Only God's help will allow us
to overcome it.

118
00:22:57,918 --> 00:23:00,001
They stayed here for days.

119
00:23:06,543 --> 00:23:08,751
How many are in that condition?

120
00:23:11,418 --> 00:23:12,876
Seven.

121
00:23:14,334 --> 00:23:17,001
No, six now that Sister Zofia...

122
00:23:17,459 --> 00:23:19,334
God's help won't be enough.

123
00:23:20,626 --> 00:23:22,584
We're in the hands of Providence.

124
00:23:22,668 --> 00:23:24,376
You need someone qualified.

125
00:23:25,293 --> 00:23:27,959
I can send
a Polish Red Cross midwife.

126
00:23:30,001 --> 00:23:33,918
If you do that,
our convent will be shut down.

127
00:23:34,001 --> 00:23:38,001
If we're evicted,
our girls will be objects of shame.

128
00:23:38,584 --> 00:23:40,084
People will find out.

129
00:23:40,793 --> 00:23:43,751
Everyone will reject them.
Many will die.

130
00:23:44,334 --> 00:23:46,834
My duty is to protect our secret.

131
00:23:46,918 --> 00:23:49,709
- They'll give birth in...
- We'll help.

132
00:23:50,126 --> 00:23:51,709
You already said that.

133
00:23:53,293 --> 00:23:55,668
They'll go to Heaven.
Good for them.

134
00:23:56,584 --> 00:23:57,959
But I care about life.

135
00:23:59,334 --> 00:24:02,251
No one will enter this convent.

136
00:24:04,001 --> 00:24:05,376
All right.

137
00:24:12,751 --> 00:24:14,876
I'll report to my superiors.

138
00:24:29,793 --> 00:24:31,126
Miss...

139
00:24:37,626 --> 00:24:40,709
- Our Mother agrees.
- I'll look for someone.

140
00:24:41,459 --> 00:24:43,168
No, it has to be you.

141
00:24:43,251 --> 00:24:46,709
- I helped in an emergency, but...
- It must be you!

142
00:24:46,793 --> 00:24:48,293
Or no one.

143
00:25:10,834 --> 00:25:14,168
Here's to the amputees
and our failures.

144
00:25:21,334 --> 00:25:24,168
Talk to me.
You never say anything.

145
00:25:24,251 --> 00:25:26,168
And girls who never say anything...

146
00:25:26,709 --> 00:25:29,543
are a real rarity.

147
00:25:30,626 --> 00:25:32,168
Typical man talk.

148
00:25:34,459 --> 00:25:36,293
I just have nothing to say.

149
00:25:36,668 --> 00:25:39,001
At home,
we couldn't talk at dinner

150
00:25:39,084 --> 00:25:40,751
or anywhere else.

151
00:25:43,001 --> 00:25:44,418
A Catholic family...

152
00:25:46,001 --> 00:25:49,793
Upper-class...
An only daughter.

153
00:25:50,418 --> 00:25:53,209
Not at all.
A working-class family.

154
00:25:53,501 --> 00:25:55,668
Die-hard Communist parents.

155
00:25:55,751 --> 00:25:57,334
Okay...

156
00:25:58,001 --> 00:26:00,251
They funded my studies

157
00:26:00,334 --> 00:26:03,376
and when I left to come here,
they felt let down.

158
00:26:05,751 --> 00:26:08,918
You see,
you're not so silent when you want.

159
00:26:09,543 --> 00:26:12,334
It's the vodka.
Your plan's working.

160
00:26:16,168 --> 00:26:18,418
Enough about me.
What about you?

161
00:26:19,501 --> 00:26:20,918
Me...

162
00:26:22,543 --> 00:26:24,418
A fine upper-class family.

163
00:26:25,001 --> 00:26:27,459
Obviously not very Catholic.

164
00:26:28,334 --> 00:26:30,751
We were either lawyers or doctors.

165
00:26:30,834 --> 00:26:34,668
And since I hate claptrap,
I chose medicine.

166
00:26:35,334 --> 00:26:38,293
- They're proud of you?
- They were.

167
00:26:52,084 --> 00:26:55,876
They died in Bergen-Belsen.
Luckily, I'm an only son.

168
00:27:01,126 --> 00:27:05,126
I left for London in '40,
but not via the Free Zone.

169
00:27:05,584 --> 00:27:07,209
That's what saved me.

170
00:27:09,918 --> 00:27:12,418
I won't return to France after this.

171
00:27:13,709 --> 00:27:15,543
I can go where I want.

172
00:27:16,501 --> 00:27:18,001
I'm free.

173
00:27:19,626 --> 00:27:20,793
Aren't you?

174
00:27:28,751 --> 00:27:30,751
Don't you get sick of it?

175
00:27:31,668 --> 00:27:34,709
That permanent stubborn air with me...

176
00:27:44,501 --> 00:27:46,418
Enough doom and gloom.

177
00:27:51,501 --> 00:27:52,501
Come on!

178
00:28:19,501 --> 00:28:20,876
This is it.

179
00:28:28,209 --> 00:28:29,709
I'll come with you.

180
00:28:32,001 --> 00:28:33,376
Good night.

181
00:28:34,209 --> 00:28:36,168
- I don't want to.
- Me neither.

182
00:28:36,251 --> 00:28:38,876
- I mean it.
- So do I.

183
00:28:40,043 --> 00:28:41,126
What?

184
00:28:41,209 --> 00:28:43,126
- You're too old.
- Charming...

185
00:28:43,209 --> 00:28:44,876
Not so loud.

186
00:28:45,168 --> 00:28:47,209
You didn't say that the first time!

187
00:28:48,459 --> 00:28:52,168
It's not true.
I may be ugly, but I'm not old.

188
00:28:52,251 --> 00:28:54,501
No, you're not that ugly.

189
00:28:55,251 --> 00:28:56,501
Really?

190
00:28:57,918 --> 00:28:59,084
- Come here.
- What?

191
00:28:59,168 --> 00:29:00,168
Come here.

192
00:29:00,834 --> 00:29:03,501
I take that as encouragement,
you know.

193
00:29:13,209 --> 00:29:14,626
Careful!

194
00:29:14,709 --> 00:29:16,918
- Help me!
- How?

195
00:29:17,001 --> 00:29:18,418
Help me!

196
00:29:19,043 --> 00:29:21,584
- I can't help you.
- Help me!

197
00:29:30,001 --> 00:29:34,209
The more time passes,
the better you are in bed.

198
00:29:36,501 --> 00:29:39,918
- Communists are like that.
- Oh, please...

199
00:29:41,584 --> 00:29:43,126
No propaganda.

200
00:30:07,793 --> 00:30:09,084
In your opinion,

201
00:30:10,168 --> 00:30:13,251
how will the new regime
treat the Polish Church?

202
00:30:13,334 --> 00:30:15,459
What the hell do you care?

203
00:30:16,834 --> 00:30:19,084
The Polish Church interests you?

204
00:30:20,626 --> 00:30:22,376
I'm just asking.

205
00:30:23,793 --> 00:30:26,251
I hope they'll piss it off.

206
00:30:26,334 --> 00:30:29,001
And not just the Church,
the people too.

207
00:30:31,043 --> 00:30:32,668
That's not very kind.

208
00:30:33,001 --> 00:30:34,918
What have the Poles done to you?

209
00:30:35,001 --> 00:30:36,668
I can't stand them.

210
00:30:37,043 --> 00:30:40,709
They got what they deserved
with the Russians and the Germans.

211
00:30:50,251 --> 00:30:53,793
- You're very bitter.
- Maybe I have my reasons.

212
00:30:56,209 --> 00:31:01,168
The only Poles I like were
in the Warsaw ghetto.

213
00:31:05,084 --> 00:31:07,126
There's not one of them left.

214
00:31:09,084 --> 00:31:13,584
Shit, my landlords.
I'm in trouble if they heard us.

215
00:31:13,668 --> 00:31:17,001
If you agree,
we're going to ignore them.

216
00:31:25,501 --> 00:31:26,876
There...

217
00:32:38,001 --> 00:32:43,501
I can no longer reconcile my faith
with these terrible events.

218
00:32:47,834 --> 00:32:52,418
God, of whom I still consider myself
to be the divine bride,

219
00:32:52,501 --> 00:32:54,043
nonetheless wanted this.

220
00:32:55,084 --> 00:32:56,459
Wanted it?

221
00:32:59,668 --> 00:33:02,751
If it happened,
that means He wanted it.

222
00:33:02,834 --> 00:33:04,709
We cannot know what God wants.

223
00:33:06,168 --> 00:33:08,959
The only truth is His love.

224
00:33:10,668 --> 00:33:12,918
And this life
that has been forced into me...

225
00:33:16,668 --> 00:33:18,834
that will soon come forth...

226
00:33:21,834 --> 00:33:24,251
what does He want me to do with it?

227
00:33:29,876 --> 00:33:31,876
Let's kneel, Sister.

228
00:33:33,084 --> 00:33:34,793
We're going to pray.

229
00:33:36,168 --> 00:33:38,084
It's our only consolation.

230
00:34:00,918 --> 00:34:04,001
Your aunt took the child
as a gift from God.

231
00:34:06,001 --> 00:34:08,084
She will love him as her own.

232
00:34:14,209 --> 00:34:16,334
I know this is a harsh ordeal.

233
00:34:22,334 --> 00:34:26,001
But it can strengthen your faith
and your calling.

234
00:34:32,001 --> 00:34:37,043
The diocese still hasn't found anyone
to replace the late Father Piasecki.

235
00:34:38,376 --> 00:34:40,918
As for the vows ceremony,

236
00:34:41,668 --> 00:34:45,001
I've postponed it twice.
I cannot do it again.

237
00:34:45,084 --> 00:34:48,543
The ceremony will be held
two months from now.

238
00:34:50,001 --> 00:34:53,918
In the meantime, some of you will be
examined by the young woman

239
00:34:54,001 --> 00:34:57,001
who is here
with the French Red Cross mission.

240
00:34:58,001 --> 00:35:01,501
She will help you.
You must trust her.

241
00:35:17,334 --> 00:35:20,418
If the ceremony is in spring,
can we tell our parents?

242
00:35:20,501 --> 00:35:21,584
Of course!

243
00:35:21,668 --> 00:35:24,834
Sisters, let's return to our duties.

244
00:35:44,001 --> 00:35:45,459
Sisters...

245
00:35:47,876 --> 00:35:49,543
Who will go first?

246
00:36:03,334 --> 00:36:05,084
I'm scared, aren't you?

247
00:36:16,168 --> 00:36:17,293
She can lie down.

248
00:36:18,293 --> 00:36:19,793
Lie down, Sister.

249
00:36:49,668 --> 00:36:52,376
Everything's fine.
She can get dressed.

250
00:37:05,584 --> 00:37:06,668
No.

251
00:37:07,584 --> 00:37:11,043
She mustn't be afraid,
I'll just check the baby's position.

252
00:37:12,084 --> 00:37:15,459
Don't be afraid.
It's to see if the baby's all right.

253
00:37:16,459 --> 00:37:18,668
I don't want to go to Hell.

254
00:37:21,168 --> 00:37:22,834
She fears damnation.

255
00:37:27,418 --> 00:37:30,751
It may seem incomprehensible
to the outside world...

256
00:37:32,501 --> 00:37:37,168
Despite what has happened,
we must still respect our vow of chastity.

257
00:38:07,001 --> 00:38:09,084
I know they've been abused.

258
00:38:09,543 --> 00:38:11,918
I'm here to help. Tell me how.

259
00:38:16,376 --> 00:38:17,918
It's not easy.

260
00:38:20,584 --> 00:38:22,834
We're not allowed to show our bodies.

261
00:38:24,001 --> 00:38:27,334
And even less be touched.
It's a sin.

262
00:38:28,709 --> 00:38:30,584
I took risks to come here.

263
00:38:31,168 --> 00:38:34,584
Can't we set God aside
while I examine them?

264
00:38:34,668 --> 00:38:37,209
You don't set God aside.

265
00:38:38,834 --> 00:38:40,376
So what use am I?

266
00:38:44,334 --> 00:38:46,418
I'll try talking to them.

267
00:40:08,501 --> 00:40:10,876
Halt! Soviet army!

268
00:40:14,501 --> 00:40:15,501
Get her out!

269
00:40:17,376 --> 00:40:18,834
Papers!

270
00:40:19,709 --> 00:40:21,126
Come on!

271
00:40:21,668 --> 00:40:23,876
- I'm a French doctor.
- She's French.

272
00:40:25,168 --> 00:40:27,459
Search her.
You, search the van.

273
00:40:28,918 --> 00:40:30,501
Let's go!

274
00:40:30,876 --> 00:40:32,626
Help them search.

275
00:40:43,168 --> 00:40:45,334
Let me take a look.

276
00:40:46,043 --> 00:40:47,834
You're beautiful, you know.

277
00:40:49,168 --> 00:40:50,834
Bravo!

278
00:40:50,918 --> 00:40:52,876
You're so beautiful!

279
00:40:56,834 --> 00:40:57,834
Stop!

280
00:40:58,334 --> 00:40:59,584
Yeah...

281
00:41:14,709 --> 00:41:16,376
Stop!

282
00:41:17,459 --> 00:41:19,168
She loves it!

283
00:41:25,126 --> 00:41:26,251
Step aside.

284
00:41:26,334 --> 00:41:30,751
This'll be wild,
I think she wants us all.

285
00:41:32,001 --> 00:41:34,043
What's going on here?

286
00:41:34,834 --> 00:41:36,376
Get away!

287
00:41:37,626 --> 00:41:39,501
Get back to your posts!

288
00:41:42,001 --> 00:41:44,668
- Comrade officer...
- Her papers!

289
00:41:52,043 --> 00:41:53,918
What are you doing here?

290
00:41:56,126 --> 00:41:57,418
What?

291
00:41:59,584 --> 00:42:01,376
The French Red Cross?

292
00:42:03,418 --> 00:42:04,709
All right.

293
00:42:05,918 --> 00:42:07,293
You can go.

294
00:42:15,918 --> 00:42:18,418
Turn back.
You can't go this way.

295
00:42:18,501 --> 00:42:19,751
Understand?

296
00:42:20,501 --> 00:42:22,293
Go on, turn back!

297
00:42:24,834 --> 00:42:27,668
What's wrong?
Back up!

298
00:42:58,001 --> 00:42:59,959
No one will bother you here.

299
00:43:08,668 --> 00:43:10,793
I'll let the Abbess know.

300
00:45:55,501 --> 00:45:57,459
Run! Hurry!

301
00:45:57,834 --> 00:45:59,793
Quick! Run!

302
00:46:02,834 --> 00:46:04,251
Get out of here!

303
00:46:09,376 --> 00:46:12,126
Maria, look after them.

304
00:46:12,209 --> 00:46:14,376
You must look after them.
Go on.

305
00:46:23,168 --> 00:46:24,959
You two, that way!

306
00:46:25,501 --> 00:46:28,084
You're hiding enemies of the people.

307
00:46:28,168 --> 00:46:30,334
- We're not hiding anyone.
- We'll check.

308
00:46:30,418 --> 00:46:33,584
- You have no right.
- We'll see.

309
00:46:44,043 --> 00:46:45,459
Check there!

310
00:46:46,709 --> 00:46:48,043
And the kitchen!

311
00:46:50,626 --> 00:46:52,668
Come on, hurry it up!

312
00:46:54,334 --> 00:46:57,126
- Follow me.
- Faster, I said!

313
00:47:01,293 --> 00:47:04,418
There's no one here.
Check the other rooms.

314
00:47:04,501 --> 00:47:05,918
Don't do that.

315
00:47:13,168 --> 00:47:15,293
Do they know
the convent is in quarantine?

316
00:47:16,126 --> 00:47:18,418
Typhus. An epidemic.

317
00:47:18,501 --> 00:47:20,918
- What's she saying?
- Typhus?

318
00:47:21,001 --> 00:47:23,168
- Yes.
- She's lying.

319
00:47:23,626 --> 00:47:25,209
There is no typhus.

320
00:47:25,293 --> 00:47:29,001
- We have to get out of here.
- It's very contagious.

321
00:47:29,084 --> 00:47:31,334
Why didn't you alert the authorities?

322
00:47:32,501 --> 00:47:33,834
Answer me!

323
00:47:35,334 --> 00:47:38,043
How can I know if it's the truth?

324
00:47:38,626 --> 00:47:40,209
They can come to the infirmary.

325
00:47:43,126 --> 00:47:45,376
You can go to the infirmary.

326
00:47:46,501 --> 00:47:48,834
- We go to the infirmary?
- No way!

327
00:47:48,918 --> 00:47:50,459
We're leaving.

328
00:48:21,501 --> 00:48:22,668
Mother.

329
00:48:24,376 --> 00:48:25,751
I'm tired.

330
00:48:27,293 --> 00:48:29,168
Can I do anything?

331
00:48:30,459 --> 00:48:31,834
Are you unwell?

332
00:48:34,834 --> 00:48:38,626
Thank you for your... presence of mind.

333
00:48:51,084 --> 00:48:52,918
Was she also...

334
00:48:57,459 --> 00:48:59,209
I'll need to examine her.

335
00:49:01,126 --> 00:49:02,834
She'll never let you.

336
00:49:03,459 --> 00:49:05,834
She'd rather put up with her ordeal.

337
00:49:06,834 --> 00:49:08,668
Isn't pride a sin?

338
00:49:12,043 --> 00:49:13,793
She's our Mother.

339
00:49:14,918 --> 00:49:18,126
We cannot judge her,
but merely obey her.

340
00:49:29,001 --> 00:49:30,584
Forgive me.

341
00:49:33,293 --> 00:49:37,459
However much I pray,
I cannot find any consolation.

342
00:49:40,501 --> 00:49:44,668
Every day, I relive what happened.
Every day.

343
00:49:48,501 --> 00:49:50,584
I still smell the stench of them.

344
00:49:55,084 --> 00:49:57,251
They came back three times.

345
00:49:58,751 --> 00:50:00,626
Each time, they...

346
00:50:07,668 --> 00:50:10,543
They should have killed us.

347
00:50:12,751 --> 00:50:15,168
It's a miracle they didn't.

348
00:50:31,376 --> 00:50:32,501
Thank you.

349
00:50:39,584 --> 00:50:42,084
I've been luckier than others.

350
00:50:43,459 --> 00:50:47,084
And I'd already known a man
in my former life.

351
00:50:49,834 --> 00:50:52,334
Most of my sisters were virgins.

352
00:50:56,043 --> 00:50:58,293
But none have lost their faith?

353
00:51:00,668 --> 00:51:02,501
You know, faith...

354
00:51:06,751 --> 00:51:09,001
At first, you're like a child

355
00:51:09,543 --> 00:51:12,793
holding your father's hand,
feeling safe.

356
00:51:16,834 --> 00:51:18,584
Then a time comes —

357
00:51:19,668 --> 00:51:21,668
and I think it always comes —

358
00:51:23,918 --> 00:51:25,918
when your father lets go.

359
00:51:28,626 --> 00:51:31,918
You're lost,
alone in the dark.

360
00:51:32,001 --> 00:51:34,043
You cry out, but no one answers.

361
00:51:37,293 --> 00:51:38,834
Even if you prepare for it,

362
00:51:41,043 --> 00:51:42,709
you're caught unawares.

363
00:51:43,709 --> 00:51:45,834
It hits you right in the heart.

364
00:51:51,501 --> 00:51:53,376
That's the cross we bear.

365
00:51:54,751 --> 00:51:57,334
Behind all joy lies the cross.

366
00:52:13,834 --> 00:52:14,918
Mathilde!

367
00:52:16,209 --> 00:52:18,251
Don't abandon us, please!

368
00:52:19,001 --> 00:52:20,584
God bless you.

369
00:52:21,459 --> 00:52:23,459
God bless you for everything.

370
00:53:22,501 --> 00:53:25,084
- I'm sorry.
- Enough!

371
00:53:26,501 --> 00:53:28,376
I don't need an apology.

372
00:53:28,709 --> 00:53:31,584
You're part of a team under my orders.

373
00:53:31,959 --> 00:53:34,418
If you can't bend to discipline,

374
00:53:34,501 --> 00:53:37,251
I'll send you home.
Maybe you want that?

375
00:53:37,668 --> 00:53:39,709
No, sir, definitely not.

376
00:53:40,126 --> 00:53:43,126
You're a real character.
I should jail you.

377
00:53:43,209 --> 00:53:44,501
Sir, it was...

378
00:53:44,584 --> 00:53:47,334
You're lucky
the Russians didn't shoot you.

379
00:53:47,751 --> 00:53:49,668
You keep away from that sector.

380
00:53:50,168 --> 00:53:54,543
You ignored orders.
You left us a vehicle short.

381
00:53:59,834 --> 00:54:01,584
You're totally reckless.

382
00:54:02,084 --> 00:54:04,334
I'll expect your report.
You may go.

383
00:54:10,376 --> 00:54:12,626
The colonel is a right-winger.

384
00:54:16,501 --> 00:54:17,834
The thing is...

385
00:54:18,168 --> 00:54:21,918
if he finds out
you attend party meetings...

386
00:54:22,001 --> 00:54:23,751
Don't be stupid.

387
00:54:28,918 --> 00:54:30,959
Enough of all this mystery.

388
00:54:32,418 --> 00:54:34,751
Make sure your report is good.

389
00:54:35,751 --> 00:54:39,918
I don't want you sent home.
It would really piss me off.

390
00:54:41,334 --> 00:54:44,084
- You're kind.
- Me, kind?

391
00:54:44,918 --> 00:54:46,751
Don't you know me?

392
00:54:47,918 --> 00:54:49,876
Would it really upset you?

393
00:54:49,959 --> 00:54:51,959
Don't go imagining things.

394
00:54:52,043 --> 00:54:55,418
I mean work-wise.
You're an excellent assistant.

395
00:54:55,751 --> 00:55:00,168
I don't want to lose you.
Even if I know you're a Communist.

396
00:55:00,834 --> 00:55:02,334
Not a party member.

397
00:55:02,418 --> 00:55:05,876
Maybe, but you believe
in a brighter tomorrow.

398
00:55:06,293 --> 00:55:09,251
- We have to believe.
- Really?

399
00:55:12,168 --> 00:55:13,543
What?

400
00:55:14,501 --> 00:55:17,168
What's hidden
behind that forehead?

401
00:55:17,251 --> 00:55:19,959
- My forehead doesn't interest you.
- No.

402
00:55:20,709 --> 00:55:22,418
What's beneath it does.

403
00:55:22,918 --> 00:55:24,668
There's nothing beneath it.

404
00:55:41,334 --> 00:55:42,959
Any plans for tonight?

405
00:55:43,501 --> 00:55:45,418
I need to sleep. I'm tired.

406
00:55:47,834 --> 00:55:49,709
You're a pitiful liar.

407
00:56:34,001 --> 00:56:37,084
I can't come by day anymore.
I'm being watched.

408
00:56:50,376 --> 00:56:51,834
Have a listen.

409
00:56:54,626 --> 00:56:55,918
Without your hands.

410
00:57:00,876 --> 00:57:02,543
It's beating so fast!

411
00:57:03,293 --> 00:57:05,959
They say a rapid heartbeat
is a girl.

412
00:57:07,043 --> 00:57:08,543
Probably a girl.

413
00:57:11,668 --> 00:57:15,168
Sister,
our Reverend Mother feels unwell.

414
00:57:16,709 --> 00:57:18,543
I have to see the Abbess.

415
00:57:18,626 --> 00:57:20,209
Thank you, Sister.

416
00:57:27,418 --> 00:57:29,834
Do you have a lover in France?

417
00:57:30,418 --> 00:57:33,251
- Lots of them.
- Really?

418
00:57:33,334 --> 00:57:34,793
Lie down.

419
00:57:35,168 --> 00:57:38,501
- You're very curious.
- Yes, I am.

420
00:57:38,584 --> 00:57:42,834
I have many flaws.
I deserve the harshest penance.

421
00:57:45,418 --> 00:57:47,418
I've never had much faith.

422
00:57:47,501 --> 00:57:51,334
And since this happened,
I've lost the little I had.

423
00:57:51,418 --> 00:57:53,251
I shouldn't be here.

424
00:57:53,876 --> 00:57:55,834
So why don't you leave?

425
00:57:56,418 --> 00:57:57,918
I have no family left,

426
00:57:58,001 --> 00:58:00,959
apart from the bigoted aunt
who sent me here.

427
00:58:03,668 --> 00:58:05,626
After the delivery,

428
00:58:05,709 --> 00:58:08,834
I'll go to find my fiancé,
wherever he may be.

429
00:58:09,668 --> 00:58:11,001
You have a fiancé?

430
00:58:11,084 --> 00:58:14,418
Yes, I keep thinking about him,
but can't tell anyone.

431
00:58:14,501 --> 00:58:15,959
I'd be punished.

432
00:58:16,584 --> 00:58:19,709
Is he the Russian soldier
who got you in this condition?

433
00:58:23,168 --> 00:58:25,293
He defended me from the others.

434
00:58:25,584 --> 00:58:28,418
He protected me.
He even fought them.

435
00:58:28,959 --> 00:58:30,834
He stopped them from killing us.

436
00:58:35,043 --> 00:58:37,459
Excuse me.
Can you come with me?

437
00:58:39,001 --> 00:58:40,334
Thank you.

438
00:58:41,001 --> 00:58:43,418
Get dressed
and go back to your cell.

439
00:59:00,001 --> 00:59:02,876
Mother, let her examine you.

440
00:59:17,001 --> 00:59:18,334
May I?

441
00:59:31,043 --> 00:59:34,501
There are lesions.
I'll do a test to be sure.

442
00:59:34,959 --> 00:59:36,126
A test?

443
00:59:37,334 --> 00:59:39,418
It's advanced syphilis.

444
00:59:39,751 --> 00:59:42,084
I can get the medicine to treat it.

445
00:59:44,334 --> 00:59:46,334
I don't need you to treat it.

446
01:00:00,001 --> 01:00:02,584
What if several births occur at once?

447
01:00:05,126 --> 01:00:08,626
I know.
I'm scared of that happening.

448
01:00:10,959 --> 01:00:12,293
Thank you.

449
01:00:14,001 --> 01:00:16,126
We've been scared for five years.

450
01:00:18,251 --> 01:00:23,001
For us nuns, the end of the war
doesn't mean the end of fear.

451
01:00:25,168 --> 01:00:27,834
The new regime won't do us any favors.

452
01:00:33,668 --> 01:00:34,876
And you?

453
01:00:36,001 --> 01:00:38,334
Haven't you ever feared for your life?

454
01:00:38,418 --> 01:00:39,668
Me?

455
01:00:40,793 --> 01:00:45,251
When I joined the Red Cross team,
I was still a student.

456
01:00:46,251 --> 01:00:49,209
I ended up carrying stretchers
under fire

457
01:00:49,293 --> 01:00:50,876
when Paris was liberated.

458
01:00:53,751 --> 01:00:56,876
Sorry, but I pissed myself
more than once.

459
01:01:02,209 --> 01:01:03,876
But I've never regretted it.

460
01:01:05,084 --> 01:01:07,584
And I imagined
I would save lives.

461
01:01:14,626 --> 01:01:17,043
Novice Irena is in a good mood.

462
01:03:48,668 --> 01:03:51,001
How can a baby arrive like that?

463
01:03:53,918 --> 01:03:55,626
Without us realizing?

464
01:03:56,626 --> 01:03:58,918
An extreme defensive reaction.

465
01:04:01,918 --> 01:04:05,459
The body resists
and no one can guess her condition,

466
01:04:05,793 --> 01:04:07,209
not even the patient herself.

467
01:04:10,668 --> 01:04:12,209
Could...

468
01:04:13,251 --> 01:04:15,084
Could there be others?

469
01:04:16,334 --> 01:04:17,668
Possibly.

470
01:04:18,668 --> 01:04:20,459
What are we going to do?

471
01:04:21,793 --> 01:04:23,834
How should I know?

472
01:04:26,418 --> 01:04:30,334
- I'll notify the Abbess.
- Don't disturb her now.

473
01:04:31,834 --> 01:04:34,043
I have to inform her of each birth.

474
01:04:34,584 --> 01:04:37,209
She takes the babies to the adopters.

475
01:04:39,209 --> 01:04:42,834
I don't think she realizes
how fragile a newborn is.

476
01:04:43,959 --> 01:04:46,001
It's my duty to obey.

477
01:04:46,834 --> 01:04:48,584
You have a higher duty...

478
01:04:49,126 --> 01:04:51,334
Protecting this child's life.

479
01:04:53,918 --> 01:04:57,043
- I should lie to her?
- Through omission.

480
01:04:58,501 --> 01:05:00,376
Not for long.
Heaven will thank you.

481
01:05:01,001 --> 01:05:03,668
It's easy for a non-believer
to talk of Heaven.

482
01:05:06,168 --> 01:05:07,501
We have to feed her.

483
01:05:11,501 --> 01:05:12,834
Sister...

484
01:05:24,334 --> 01:05:26,168
Novice Ludwika rejected her.

485
01:06:29,376 --> 01:06:32,168
- You can wear this.
- Is it yours?

486
01:06:33,459 --> 01:06:36,834
- I arrived here in that dress.
- It's pretty.

487
01:06:37,751 --> 01:06:39,334
I was stylish then.

488
01:06:41,793 --> 01:06:43,751
I liked men and men liked me.

489
01:06:59,918 --> 01:07:02,126
Don't you ever regret it?

490
01:07:05,209 --> 01:07:08,334
Faith is twenty-four hours of doubt
and one minute of hope.

491
01:07:11,668 --> 01:07:14,418
At first,
I found the discipline hard to take.

492
01:07:15,918 --> 01:07:17,668
Chastity too.

493
01:07:20,793 --> 01:07:24,668
I know happiness isn't the goal
that we pursue but...

494
01:07:26,834 --> 01:07:28,418
without the war...

495
01:07:29,793 --> 01:07:31,959
without the horror that has struck us...

496
01:07:33,459 --> 01:07:35,793
I could say I'm happy.

497
01:07:36,668 --> 01:07:38,168
You're lucky.

498
01:07:42,459 --> 01:07:43,793
Aren't you?

499
01:07:45,668 --> 01:07:47,001
I don't know.

500
01:07:53,626 --> 01:07:55,209
What are you lacking?

501
01:07:57,584 --> 01:07:59,251
You want to convert me?

502
01:08:01,834 --> 01:08:03,293
It's an honest question.

503
01:08:12,376 --> 01:08:14,668
No one can really answer that.

504
01:08:17,334 --> 01:08:19,001
No one in the outside world.

505
01:08:43,626 --> 01:08:45,043
Cigarette?

506
01:09:07,793 --> 01:09:11,543
I haven't always had good news
for you here,

507
01:09:11,626 --> 01:09:14,334
but this will delight you.

508
01:09:14,709 --> 01:09:17,709
We pack up and leave
at the end of the month.

509
01:09:18,834 --> 01:09:22,584
The luckier ones will return
to good old France.

510
01:09:22,668 --> 01:09:25,459
The others, me included,
are transferred to Berlin,

511
01:09:25,543 --> 01:09:27,251
to the French sector.

512
01:09:27,334 --> 01:09:31,043
Don't ask me why. I have no idea.
Those are the orders.

513
01:09:32,501 --> 01:09:34,001
Any questions?

514
01:09:36,293 --> 01:09:38,418
- Sir...
- Lehmann, you go with me.

515
01:09:38,501 --> 01:09:42,626
It's not that, but perhaps
it's too soon to end our mission.

516
01:09:42,709 --> 01:09:45,334
- Will you miss it?
- No, sir.

517
01:09:46,543 --> 01:09:49,584
- Have we recovered all our wounded?
- Affirmative.

518
01:09:49,668 --> 01:09:54,084
Despite Soviet harassment,
mission accomplished.

519
01:09:54,168 --> 01:09:57,126
- Satisfied now?
- Yes, sir.

520
01:10:07,918 --> 01:10:09,501
It's sad.

521
01:10:10,501 --> 01:10:11,834
What's sad?

522
01:10:13,209 --> 01:10:15,834
We part ways at the end of the month.

523
01:10:16,459 --> 01:10:18,293
You'll return to your folks

524
01:10:19,459 --> 01:10:21,084
that you must miss so much.

525
01:10:23,959 --> 01:10:25,959
Maybe you don't give a damn...

526
01:10:28,001 --> 01:10:30,626
but I can't help thinking
we won't meet again.

527
01:10:32,501 --> 01:10:35,209
- We'll write.
- Yes, of course.

528
01:10:36,501 --> 01:10:38,334
Postcards...

529
01:10:41,084 --> 01:10:42,668
What's wrong?

530
01:10:43,751 --> 01:10:46,043
You don't like postcards?

531
01:10:48,084 --> 01:10:49,501
I'm sorry.

532
01:10:50,918 --> 01:10:54,084
I've never seen you cry.
I didn't think you could.

533
01:10:56,584 --> 01:11:00,626
Put my mind at rest...
It's not because we have to part?

534
01:11:07,376 --> 01:11:08,459
What then?

535
01:11:11,834 --> 01:11:14,168
You can trust me, you know.

536
01:11:16,251 --> 01:11:17,626
Talk to me.

537
01:11:18,126 --> 01:11:19,543
It's nothing.

538
01:11:22,418 --> 01:11:25,584
Keep your secrets.
I'm going to dance.

539
01:13:34,501 --> 01:13:35,876
It's so heavy!

540
01:14:24,334 --> 01:14:25,959
Stay calm.

541
01:14:31,418 --> 01:14:33,751
Mathilde Beaulieu, please.
It's urgent.

542
01:14:46,543 --> 01:14:48,668
Samuel, I need you.

543
01:14:49,168 --> 01:14:50,584
What's going on?

544
01:14:50,668 --> 01:14:52,709
- Just listen.
- Come on.

545
01:15:05,459 --> 01:15:07,168
I haven't come alone.

546
01:15:11,209 --> 01:15:13,376
Fear not, I'm here to help you.

547
01:15:29,418 --> 01:15:31,501
This is Dr. Samuel Lehmann.

548
01:15:35,126 --> 01:15:36,834
Yes, I'm Jewish.

549
01:15:37,501 --> 01:15:39,459
There are a few of us left.

550
01:15:40,793 --> 01:15:43,418
Now that's settled,
where are the patients?

551
01:15:43,834 --> 01:15:45,834
He'll keep your secret.

552
01:15:49,293 --> 01:15:52,543
- How many doctors will you bring?
- I wasn't expecting him.

553
01:15:52,626 --> 01:15:55,209
Don't you realize the danger?

554
01:15:55,293 --> 01:15:57,626
We can talk here for hours.

555
01:15:57,709 --> 01:16:00,001
Women are suffering
and in danger.

556
01:16:00,834 --> 01:16:03,918
I'm not baptized, I won't go to Heaven,
but I'm a doctor.

557
01:16:04,001 --> 01:16:06,334
I don't need this.
If we're unwelcome,

558
01:16:06,418 --> 01:16:08,334
say so and we'll leave.

559
01:16:08,668 --> 01:16:09,918
That suits me.

560
01:16:19,584 --> 01:16:21,126
If someone had told me

561
01:16:21,209 --> 01:16:25,043
I'd end up delivering Polish nuns
knocked up by Soviet grunts...

562
01:16:42,876 --> 01:16:44,918
How long will this last?

563
01:16:45,001 --> 01:16:47,626
They pray three times at the Angelus.

564
01:17:01,459 --> 01:17:02,668
Stay calm.

565
01:17:08,959 --> 01:17:10,543
It's all right.

566
01:17:42,668 --> 01:17:43,918
Not just yet.

567
01:17:48,001 --> 01:17:50,543
Tell her to keep breathing deeply.

568
01:17:53,834 --> 01:17:56,209
Come and see Novice Ludwika's baby.

569
01:18:17,834 --> 01:18:19,459
Everything's normal.

570
01:18:24,376 --> 01:18:25,834
Pretty, isn't she?

571
01:18:27,543 --> 01:18:29,668
Her name's Helena.

572
01:18:32,126 --> 01:18:34,293
That's the name I chose.
She'll be baptized.

573
01:18:39,543 --> 01:18:41,043
Her name's Helena.

574
01:18:43,334 --> 01:18:45,209
I think you have to go.

575
01:18:48,418 --> 01:18:50,209
Can you hold her?

576
01:19:13,376 --> 01:19:16,626
I'll take her to Ludwika's family tomorrow.

577
01:19:16,709 --> 01:19:19,668
And then I'll tell our Mother the truth.

578
01:19:40,584 --> 01:19:42,043
Come to my office.

579
01:20:07,834 --> 01:20:09,334
Sit down.

580
01:20:11,084 --> 01:20:14,043
Please,
punish me rather than Ludwika.

581
01:20:14,584 --> 01:20:18,168
She didn't lie,
she isn't even aware she gave birth.

582
01:20:18,251 --> 01:20:20,168
- It's entirely my fault.
- No.

583
01:20:21,001 --> 01:20:23,376
You're lying for that French woman.

584
01:20:25,293 --> 01:20:29,709
I was right to be wary of her.
She has brought scandal and disorder.

585
01:20:30,168 --> 01:20:34,001
Forgive me, but scandal
and disorder were already here.

586
01:20:34,084 --> 01:20:35,376
Enough!

587
01:25:02,918 --> 01:25:04,501
Sister Zofia?

588
01:25:07,668 --> 01:25:09,293
What's wrong?

589
01:25:09,876 --> 01:25:13,126
I looked for her,
but I couldn't find her...

590
01:25:13,543 --> 01:25:16,251
- Who?
- Help me, Sister!

591
01:25:16,334 --> 01:25:17,793
I don't understand.

592
01:25:17,876 --> 01:25:19,959
- We have to go.
- Where?

593
01:25:20,043 --> 01:25:22,584
She'll die. Helena will die.

594
01:25:24,501 --> 01:25:26,168
Let's go to your cell.

595
01:25:39,543 --> 01:25:43,376
I beseech You to open
the gates of Your kingdom to me,

596
01:25:44,876 --> 01:25:48,209
to give me the courage
to follow the path I have chosen...

597
01:25:55,501 --> 01:25:58,251
to help me bear this heavy cross.

598
01:26:03,168 --> 01:26:04,668
Help me.

599
01:26:16,626 --> 01:26:17,834
Here.

600
01:26:57,834 --> 01:27:01,459
Do you have sugar
to make hot drinks for the mothers?

601
01:27:02,168 --> 01:27:04,501
- I'll go and see.
- Thank you.

602
01:27:26,084 --> 01:27:27,709
Zofia!

603
01:28:58,793 --> 01:28:59,793
Are you okay?

604
01:29:07,793 --> 01:29:09,418
It's not your fault.

605
01:29:11,876 --> 01:29:15,501
You did what you had to do.
The rest is destiny.

606
01:29:17,668 --> 01:29:19,084
You know...

607
01:29:20,084 --> 01:29:23,001
not many could've done
what you did.

608
01:29:23,751 --> 01:29:27,209
Even more qualified people
would have panicked.

609
01:31:30,251 --> 01:31:32,209
Mom!

610
01:31:41,959 --> 01:31:44,876
- What is it?
- Someone's here.

611
01:31:53,668 --> 01:31:55,043
God protect you.

612
01:31:58,001 --> 01:32:00,001
I have some very bad news.

613
01:32:01,418 --> 01:32:03,168
Sister Zofia is dead.

614
01:32:05,501 --> 01:32:07,959
She passed away yesterday.
I'm sorry.

615
01:32:09,584 --> 01:32:11,209
Oh, my God!

616
01:32:25,501 --> 01:32:26,959
I'm sorry.

617
01:32:30,751 --> 01:32:34,084
Sister Zofia made these for the baby.

618
01:32:35,668 --> 01:32:37,709
What baby?

619
01:32:38,584 --> 01:32:40,418
All my children are grown.

620
01:32:41,668 --> 01:32:42,959
But the baby...

621
01:32:46,543 --> 01:32:47,626
Forgive me.

622
01:32:48,501 --> 01:32:50,001
May God protect you.

623
01:33:04,543 --> 01:33:08,168
Mother, I beseech you,
tell me the truth.

624
01:33:09,001 --> 01:33:11,168
What did you do with the child?

625
01:33:17,168 --> 01:33:19,251
- What I had to.
- Meaning?

626
01:33:19,334 --> 01:33:21,459
I entrusted him to God.

627
01:33:21,543 --> 01:33:23,668
- I don't understand!
- You don't?

628
01:33:24,709 --> 01:33:26,668
Don't you believe in Providence?

629
01:33:27,834 --> 01:33:29,043
I do.

630
01:33:29,126 --> 01:33:31,793
I believe it embraced
those children.

631
01:33:32,501 --> 01:33:34,668
- What did you do?
- What I could!

632
01:33:34,751 --> 01:33:36,709
I want to be alone! Get out!

633
01:33:38,334 --> 01:33:39,418
Get out.

634
01:34:33,334 --> 01:34:36,543
Sister, I think Irena is giving birth.

635
01:34:45,543 --> 01:34:47,084
Make an effort.

636
01:34:49,501 --> 01:34:51,043
Don't be afraid.

637
01:35:00,084 --> 01:35:01,418
A little more.

638
01:35:07,668 --> 01:35:08,959
It's coming.

639
01:35:09,043 --> 01:35:10,376
Keep pushing...

640
01:35:12,334 --> 01:35:13,418
Yes!

641
01:35:20,209 --> 01:35:23,084
Sister, a little more, please.

642
01:35:25,834 --> 01:35:27,084
It's coming.

643
01:37:08,793 --> 01:37:12,793
It's silly. I keep thinking
in a few days, you'll forget me.

644
01:37:16,001 --> 01:37:18,126
I wish I could say as much.

645
01:37:23,501 --> 01:37:25,459
You're getting sentimental.

646
01:37:27,293 --> 01:37:29,376
- Been drinking?
- No.

647
01:37:30,668 --> 01:37:33,209
It's silly,
but I fear you'll forget me.

648
01:37:34,876 --> 01:37:36,126
Let's bet on it.

649
01:37:36,668 --> 01:37:37,751
Come on.

650
01:37:38,001 --> 01:37:39,626
May I butt in?

651
01:38:12,293 --> 01:38:13,459
Help us.

652
01:39:44,626 --> 01:39:48,709
Last night, I found the answer
to the question tormenting me.

653
01:39:49,126 --> 01:39:50,668
What question?

654
01:39:53,168 --> 01:39:54,709
I'm a mother.

655
01:39:58,834 --> 01:40:00,501
I always will be.

656
01:40:04,459 --> 01:40:06,001
He's my child.

657
01:40:07,168 --> 01:40:08,876
He has a right to my love.

658
01:40:09,334 --> 01:40:10,584
What does that mean?

659
01:40:10,959 --> 01:40:14,376
It means
I shall pursue my vocation differently.

660
01:40:19,251 --> 01:40:20,959
God will guide me.

661
01:40:23,918 --> 01:40:25,793
I owe you so much.

662
01:40:27,543 --> 01:40:29,334
I'll never forget that.

663
01:40:31,043 --> 01:40:32,126
Thank you.

664
01:40:46,084 --> 01:40:47,501
I've had an idea.

665
01:41:54,334 --> 01:41:55,584
Sisters...

666
01:41:57,251 --> 01:41:58,251
Mother...

667
01:41:59,543 --> 01:42:02,001
Listen to us for a minute.

668
01:42:06,251 --> 01:42:08,876
These orphans live on the streets.

669
01:42:11,501 --> 01:42:14,001
You could take them in.

670
01:42:16,418 --> 01:42:19,709
That way, no one will wonder
where your babies come from.

671
01:42:23,626 --> 01:42:26,668
You can keep them
and raise them without fear.

672
01:42:43,751 --> 01:42:44,959
Sister...

673
01:42:53,043 --> 01:42:57,459
But our Mother has found families
for all the babies.

674
01:42:57,543 --> 01:42:58,834
Haven't you?

675
01:43:14,584 --> 01:43:16,043
Mother, speak, please.

676
01:43:30,251 --> 01:43:33,168
I wanted
to spare you shame and dishonor.

677
01:43:37,584 --> 01:43:40,751
I damned myself to save you.

678
01:44:19,459 --> 01:44:21,084
Murderer...

679
01:45:58,668 --> 01:45:59,709
Thank you.

680
01:46:09,501 --> 01:46:10,793
Got a cigarette?

681
01:46:11,251 --> 01:46:13,084
- Here.
- Thank you.

682
01:46:29,709 --> 01:46:31,251
And your child?

683
01:46:32,168 --> 01:46:34,126
They'll take good care of him.

684
01:46:34,918 --> 01:46:36,501
I wouldn't have known how.

685
01:46:40,126 --> 01:46:41,918
I want to forget all that.

686
01:46:43,543 --> 01:46:45,251
I want to live.

687
01:47:03,668 --> 01:47:06,584
Three months later

688
01:48:08,834 --> 01:48:10,043
Mother...

689
01:48:11,084 --> 01:48:13,501
What can I do for you?

690
01:49:24,043 --> 01:49:25,668
<i>Dear Mathilde,</i>

691
01:49:25,751 --> 01:49:28,376
<i>The dark clouds have moved on.</i>

692
01:49:28,459 --> 01:49:30,876
<i>The sun shines brightly in our sky.</i>

693
01:49:31,209 --> 01:49:34,168
<i>And you are in our hearts.</i>

694
01:49:36,834 --> 01:49:39,209
<i>Perhaps other wars will come.</i>

695
01:49:39,959 --> 01:49:42,168
<i>Other dangers threaten us.</i>

696
01:49:42,251 --> 01:49:44,709
<i>It will soon be harder
to write to each other.</i>

697
01:49:45,793 --> 01:49:48,209
<i>But whatever fate awaits us,</i>

698
01:49:48,293 --> 01:49:50,626
<i>I feel ready to face it.</i>

699
01:49:51,834 --> 01:49:54,584
<i>I know,
even if it makes you laugh,</i>

700
01:49:54,668 --> 01:49:56,459
<i>that God sent you.</i>

701
01:49:58,001 --> 01:50:00,709
<i>May He accompany you in your trials</i>

702
01:50:00,793 --> 01:50:02,918
<i>and may you always be joyful.</i>

703
01:50:03,001 --> 01:50:04,793
<i>Yours, Maria.</i>
