400 minutes.
I wish everything would stop right now.
Things would stay this way forever.
They say that if you slow your breathing...
time slows down.
Then do you say so?
I have to remember the smell of every part of your body.
We'll meet near the lighthouse.
Anna, it's time to go.
I love you.
Anna!
Anna...
Can you hear me?
We must look to the future.
It will be good to move house.
Have a new life.
Will we have a pool?
You hate water. You don't even swim.
- You never know what you want. - You know what I don't want?
So tell me, what is it you don't want?
I don't want to be like you.
You know nothing about me.
I've always loved pools.
When I'm older, I'll have a pool.
Anna.
I feel like I'll be seeing you at every street corner.
Sometimes I tell myself...
maybe you live in the same town I do
and I don't know where.
Maybe you're here, very close.
Nemo, do you hear my voice?
Anna!
After 90 days, the onboard computer
is still maintaining the passengers' metabolism
at the level of a hibernating frog.
He'd always been fascinated by the fact
that certain frogs can spend the winter completely frozen.
and that when spring comes comma,
they defrost and begin living again period.
The onboard computer displayed...
"End of hibernation".
Welcome to Mars.
We hope you had a pleasant dream and a refreshing re-awakening.
Please leave your sleep suits in your suspended animation cubicles
and make your way through to the Arrivals lounge.
You will be directed to the rest and recoveration rooms
to prepare for your first excursion to the red planet itself.
Probably the worst thing about being on Mars
is that nothing will happen there.
Time will seem stole and empty.
That doesn't look like there's much to do.
I hope I brought enough we took.
Day time.
It's day time.
The sun is out.
It's warmer on the right than on the left
She's different from the one this morning.
Not the same perfume.
Her hands are soft.
Elise.
Is that Elise?
We sh... We shoudn't.
- I love Stefano. - Shh.
Don't say anything.
You're the one I love.
You can count on me for Mars.
I promise.
Do you wanna go for a walk or something?
I don't want anything.
Nothing.
- I'm so horrible. - No, you're not.
- You're not horrible. - I can't stand this life anymore.
Think about it, you've got the most incredible kids.
Stop trying to make me feel better. I'm actually feeling guiltier.
What's wrong with me?
What is wrong with me?
How's Mom?
She's just a little tired. She's sleeping.
- She's always tired. - Yeah, she's always tired.
Is she depressed?
Well, she has ups and downs.
I don't know about you,
but next time Mom has one of her meltdowns,
I'm gonna go live somewhere else.
So... who has a joke?
Anybody?
I do.
What's green, small and goes up and down?
A pea in an elevator.
It's not funny. Old people humor.
Are you gonna be okay?
Of course. Not 'cause Mom's not okay that I'm not okay.
I can't stand it anymore.
- That noise... - I'll ask them to keep it down.
But it is Joyce's birthday.
What kind of mother am I?
I gotta get up.
- Are you having a good time? - Yeah.
Can I tell you one thing?
You're not allowed to be partying and not have a good time.
It doesn't work that way.
- I know... - And you know what, Tess?
You look beautiful.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful...
But your friends aren't dancing enough...
And your mother has to take care of the situation!
Dancing!
Yeah!
You, over there!
Oh, oh! This makes me like...
Like a dog!
Now let's get ready. Take one... two... three!
It was a nice day.
Nicest in a long time.
Okey-dokey.
- Ready? - Bye, Dad.
Bye. Bye.
- Have fun. - Bye, Dad.
Bye-bye!
There's no life without you.
Go slowly.
I have to get used to it.
I talked to you so much when you weren't there. It's so strange for me...
to talk to you for real.
I need some time, Nemo.
When we were separated at 15,
I said I would never love anyone else.
Ever.
I would never become attached.
I'd never see you put anywhere.
I'd have nothing for myself.
I decided I would pretend to be alive.
And this is what I've been waiting for.
All this time...
Renouncing all possible lives, for one only...
With you.
But I'm not used to it anymore.
You know, love... I mean.
I'm afraid of losing you again, I--
I'm afraid of having to do without you again. I--
I'm terrified of that.
We need to take some time.
I wanna see you again.
Call me at this number.
In two days...
I'll meet you at the lighthouse.
You wanna know why I lost Anna?
Because two months earlier,
an unemployed Brazilian boiled an egg.
The heat created a micro-climate in the room.
Slight differece of temperature.
And heavy rain, two months later, on the other side of the world.
That Brazilian boiled an egg instead of being at work.
He would have lost his job in a clothing factory
because six months earlier,
I would have compared the prices of jeans
and I will have bought the cheaper pair.
As the Chinese proverb says,
"A single snowflake can bend the leaf of the bamboo."
Jeans production will have moved to other countries.
I lost every trace of Anna.
I waited for her...
every day.
Anna.
Nemo.
I'm leaving! I'm leaving you.
I'm leaving!
It's alright.
It's gonna be okay.
You'll be alright. Come on.
I often have this dream.
Some prehistoric time.
I can hear you screaming...
I chased the bear up,
and you're not afraid anymore.
But when I wake up...
When I wake up,
there's no bear,
but you're still afraid.
And I'm not a bear hunter.
I'm an executive of a plant that manufactures photocopy machines
who just quit his job.
I don't dare to move.
I don't live.
Whatever I do is a disaster.
I would so love to be able to chase the bear away...
and for you not to be afraid anymore.
To what extent are our fears innate?
When we hatch goose eggs in an incubator,
and then above the baby birds, pass a form simulating a goose in flight,
the birds strech their necks and call out.
But if we invert the direction of the silhouette,
it conjures the shape of a falcon.
The response of the baby birds is immediate.
They will crouch and fear, though they've never before seen a falcon.
Without any instruction,
an innate fear helps them to survive.
But in humans...
to what ancient dangers...
might our innate fears correspond?
Hey.
Hey!
Excuse me!
Remember...
Remember!
Honey, it's me.
Did Elise die or didn't she?
I don't get it.
You can't have had children and not have had them.
Hi, Dad.
Hi.
Hey.
I'll be in a minute, guys.
- You're not hungry? - I don't want anything.
Nothing.
What are you doing today?
I was thinking about taking the opportunity to wash the car.
What's the deal with that car?
What do you mean?
Why do you such good care of that car while you leave me here all alone?
What's the problem of the car?
There's no more problem with the car.
What's wrong?
Why are you looking at me like that?
Nemo.
You don't know me, Nemo. You've never really looked at me.
You've always been elsewhere.
Mr. Jones.
- Yes. - We already have your luggage.
Please, follow me.
I'll take you to the hotel where you can rest for a while.
The appointment is at 3 PM.
Daniel.
Daniel Jones.
Is your name Daniel Jones?
Of course not!
This is weird.
His shoes are different sizes.
Maybe he shrunk.
Times when you get older, you shrink.
No one shrinks, that's rubbish.
You got the wrong plug, that's all.
Astronauts shrink two inches when they come back to Earth.
- Because of gravity or something. - You think this fellow is an astronaut?
The ground doesn't vibrate in the same way.
It's a different perfume.
There are other people too.
Let's begin again.
Fingers on the keyboard.
Left hand: A, S, D, F.
Right hand: H, J, K, L.
- What's wrong? - I was dreaming about Stefano.
He doesn't give a damn about me.
I love him.
I can't see any another explanation for being in this state.
That's the only thing it can be.
I love him.
I know I'm crazy.
Every morning when I wake up, I open my eyes and I see your face
and I start crying.
I realize that with you, my life is passing me by.
How can you stay so calm?
How can you bear that?
You're not human.
I don't know what to do.
It's not my fault, right?
You're not gonna leave me, are you?
No, I couldn't live without you.
I've hurt everybody.
I've hurt you.
The children...
- I just can't go on. - Together we can do it.
If I stay here, you're all gonna end up drowning with me.
I'll learn to swim.
I love you.
She left me.
You know what they say...
Everything works out in the end,
even badly.
Hello?
Not too much at the top, thanks.
- How much should that be? - $20, please.
- Here you go. - Thank you.
- $20 please, sir. - Here you are.
Thank you. Bye, sir.
Bye, and have a nice afternoon.
Why does cigarette smoke never go back into the cigarette?
Why do molecules spread away from each other?
Why does a spilled drop of ink never reform?
Because the Universe moves towards a state of dissipation.
That is the principle of entropy...
The tendency of the Universe
to evolve toward a state of increasing disorder.
The principle of entropy
is related to the arrow of time...
A result of the expansion of the Universe.
But what will happen when gravitational forces
counter-balance the forces of expansion?
Or if the energy of the quantum void proves too weak?
At that moment, the universe might enter its phase of contraction.
The Big Crunch.
So what will become of time?
Will it reverse?
No one knows the answer.
Please take this oportunity to take
one last close look at the planet's surface.
Your elevator will arrive shortly in the Mars transit station.
What are we doing with all those bikes?
They're for export. Labor is much cheaper here.
China has become way too expensive.
Please proceed to the preparation area
where you will be reissued to your sleep suits.
You will also receive your...
Hi.
I'm Nemo.
Anna...
Nice to meet you.
What brings you to Mars?
I'm measuring the distance between Mars and Earth at it's greatest.
I study time. You know...
Thing that makes it so that everything doesn't happen at once.
And?
The Big Crunch will happen in 2092
and people who can't hang on that long will get a free run.
And you?
I'm just keeping an old promise.
Alert! Alert! Meteors approaching.
Don't panic.
I wanna wake up.
I wanna wake up!
Are you alright?
When I say three, you'll be awake.
One...
Two...
Three.
- Mother. - Do I know you?
- It's me! - What do you want?
- Henry! - It's me. Your son, Nemo.
My son's just here.
I don't know you. You're mad. Now go away or I'll call the police.
Mother.
Nemo!
Daddy...
- Hello, who is this? - Hello, who is this?
Who is this?
I was told to call this number.
My name is Nemo Nobody.
Is this some kind of a joke?
No. No, I...
- Operator? - Yes?
I'd like the address to 123 581 1321.
One moment please.
12358 Alleway Street.
Hello, Nemo.
I'm glad you found me.
All of this must seem very complicated to you,
but it's simpler than you think.
Careful with the chair. It is damaged.
- Are you alright? - I'm fine.
I should have warned you earlier but...
I couldn't because of the transcript.
The transcript?
The text of our conversation!
- You can you hear me! - What you are living now...
is the past.
At least, for me.
I am you...
70 years older.
Everything you say, I said myself when I was young.
I only had to transcribe our conversation.
It's all written right here.
- I can't... - Believe it?
In this life here,
you don't exist.
I don't know why...
Only the Architect knows.
The Architect?
The child...
The one running after the train.
Maybe your parents never met.
Maybe your father died in a sledging accident.
Maybe you were one of the vast majority
of those whose genetic code did not reach its final destination.
Maybe when she died...
A prehistoric woman...
She rolled off the line of heritance to which you belong.
So for this world...
You don't exist.
If I have made those calculations are correct,
you need to stay alive until 2092,
February 12th
5:50 AM.
I'm sorry, I don't know how long we haven't been recording.
I have to submit my story by tomorrow morning.
Everything that you say is contradictory.
You can't have been in one place and another at the same time.
You mean to say we have to make choices?
Of all those lives, which one...
Which one is the right one?
Each of these lives is the right one.
Every path is the right path.
"Everything could have been anything else...
and it would have just as much meaning."
Tennessee Williams.
You're too young for that.
You can't be dead and still be here.
You can't not exist.
Is there life after death?
After death...
How can you be so sure you even exist?
You don't exist.
Neither do I.
We only live in the imagination of a nine year old child.
We are imagined by a nine year old child,
faced with an impossible choice.
Run! Run!
Nemo!
Run!
Run, Nemo!
Nemo!
I won't leave.
Nemo!
You're the one I love.
In chess,
it's called Zugzwang,
when the only viable move
is not to move.
Come see.
It's the sea.
The child is taking it apart.
He doesn't need it anymore.
Before, he was unable to make a choice
'cause he didn't know what would happen.
Now that he knows what will happen,
he is unable to make a choice.
Thank you, thank you!
Thank you.
This is the most beautiful day of my life.
Anna.
