Black Tea (2024)

[bunniefuu]

Everything is perfect.

I'm very happy.

I hope so.

- You're beautiful.

- Thank you.

Hold your breath.

Thanks.

Stop.

Everything is fine.

Hey! You said you'd stop

when we got married.

But we're not married yet.

Hey, that's not fair.

OK. OK.

You stop!

That's it.

Thanks.

But stop.

You're such a jealous person.

No, Toussaint.

I'm not jealous.

I don't want to live my future

in lies...

...and bitterness.

I won't be like my mother...

...who is always smiling,

yet her life was a misery.

So.

Ovation for the mayor!

Very well...

Please be standing.

We shall begin

with Mr Toussaint Wasi.

Mr Toussaint Wasi...

Do you agree to take

as your wife...

...Miss Aya Yohou, here present?

If this is your wish,

say Yes, I agree.

Yes, I agree.

Well done, Toussaint!

Very well...

Miss Aya Yohou...

Do you agree to take as your husband,

Mr Toussaint Wasi here present?

If this is your wish,

say: Yes, I agree.

Toussaint...

You're not happy with me.

I'd like you to find happiness...

and that you feel free...

...to live the life you dream of...

...deep inside you.

I say no.

She said no?

What?...Aya said no?

It's emotional!

Calms down please.

We shall leave to the future...

...time for the bride to come to her senses.

- It smells good, darling.

- Thanks.

Good evening,

how are you?

What would you like?

Everything is fresh.

Yes, I know.

- Good evening.

- Good evening.

Do you want some?

No, thank you, I'm fine.

Bye.

- Hi.

- Hi.

I'll let you see

if you like something.

Okay.

- Good evening, Zhou.

- Hi, Aya. It's been ages. How are you?

Oh, I'm fine.

- The usual?

- Yes.

Fine.

It's the best in the market.

If you say so.

See you soon.

- Yes, I'll be back.

- Thank you.

- Have a good evening.

- Bye.

- Good evening.

- Good evening, Aya.

I got this for you

at the market.

- My favourite.

- Yes, I know.

- Thanks a lot.

- Don't mention it.

Douyue!

Yes, I'll be right with you.

Hi. I'll be yours

in a second.

Okay.

I'm going to check on Grandma.

Grandma...

Taking a look.

I wouldn't want

your perm to fail.

So what colour do you

want me to make you?

Transparent.

Hello, Aya.

Hello, Tao.

Hello, boss. You got a crowd.

- Yes, see you later.

- Okay.

- Good evening.

- See you later.

I'm not asking you

if you want some tea.

Why not?

I know what you'll say.

Oh no, what is this?

You dare pretend it's tea?"

It takes time

to make good tea."

"Preparing tea

is a world of its own."

Thank you, Douyue.

- It's very beautiful.

- You like it?

What did you come to buy?

Fabric, sheets,

shirts, T-shirts...

And I'm looking for locks of hair

and jewellery.

Do you know where

you plan to buy that?

I've found it,

but I think it's too dear.

- I know good places.

- Here? In Canton?

- I'll get your phone number.

- Okay.

How nice.

- Hello, Treasure.

- Hello, gorgeous.

- Hello, Vivi.

- Hi.

Can you fit me in

tomorrow afternoon at 6?

- I'll make some changes for you.

- Thank you so much.

- Bye bye.

- Bye. See you.

Busy?

No. Two orders since this morning.

I'll see to that later.

Hi, Wen.

Hi.

I'll drop these boxes.

Will you take them downstairs?

Okay, I do it...

As usual.

Scram!

- Hi, Aya.

- Hi, Wen. How are you?

The water's boiling.

- There's no one here.

- I expected you.

You did it for me? Thank you.

The boss and Li-Ben

are downstairs.

All right, I'll go down.

- Hello.

- Hi, Aya.

Look!

These are the new models.

They're very beautiful.

Yes, wonderful.

I knew you'd like them.

Yes.

In addition to these tea sets,

we received some new teas.

Here, smell this.

So... Go to work!

Cheer up!

I'm going to the plantation.

Yeah, just to stroll around.

Hm...

It has a unique scent.

I really like the scent.

Me too.

Could you put this box

of Oolong away, please?

Yes of course.

Mmm, that sure smells good.

- Mei was looking for you.

- Thanks.

Your ravioli look good.

The stuffing is made from celery,

carrot and cabbage.

- Everything you like.

- Delicious.

Yes, they're great.

Bye, I'll go see Mei.

- See you later.

- Bye.

- What were those orders?

- 'Best Tea' came.

They want 50 chrysanthemum

and 25 Guanyin.

- Did you bill them?

- No, not yet.

Show me the invoice

before sending it.

Alright.

I'm leaving for the plantation

early tomorrow.

You can close up.

- Have good evening.

- You too.

Hi, Korka.

- Did you miss me?

- You can say that again.

We didn't see you yesterday.

I was exhausted...

I didn't wake up.

And you, how are you?

Just doing our rounds...

Have to keep moving.

All the best, guys.

Take care. Bye.

Aya, you look beautiful today.

Well, I wanted to see you.

Mind your own business,

and stop snooping.

My life is none of your concern.

Okay, okay...

no need to attack me.

- Is everything okay, pet?

- Yes, don't worry.

Did I pay you yesterday?

No, but no matter...

It's a gift for you.

- Thank you very much.

- Don't mention it.

The blue one.

- You like this one?

- Yes.

- Take a look at it.

- Thanks.

So. You like it?

It's a bit heavy.

No no no.

Wait. You see?

- Thank you so much.

- One, two, three.

Be careful, it's very hot.

Hold the cup like this.

So?

White tea is very good,

but I prefer yellow tea.

It's more surprising

and interesting.

We have other kinds of tea...

...including the most classic ones.

Here...

This is the list of our different teas.

- Thanks very much.

- Youre welcome.

- Here, for you.

- Thank you.

He says he got lost

in the shopping streets.

Since you've been friends a long time,

and that you're doing business...

...he'd like you

to reduce the price.

It's too expensive per unit.

How many does he want?

He says that he would like

to buy a thousand of this colour...

and 700 of this other colour.

And quote the Prophet to him...

peace be upon him...

"God grants His mercy

to accommodating sellers and buyers."

I'll try to explain to him differently,

otherwise he won't understand

the words of the Prophet,

peace be upon Him.

I will translate differently.

He says he still has stock

in Africa...

...and he can't take more.

As the Prophet said...

...you have to be conciliatory.

So would you give a discount?

Or he won't take that many.

He wants to take

1,000 of this model.

A thousand?

He says your price suits him.

Deal done.

This model is very fashionable.

A novelty.

It's a novelty, very fashionable.

No, thank you.

I'll settle for this model.

Do you still need me?

You know what, Wen?

I still need you.

Thank you.

You can go home.

Have a good evening.

- Goodbye.

- Bye.

Sorry for arriving so late.

No, it's for me

to apologise to you.

You've taken the trouble

to make this journey for me.

I know you're an enthusiast.

Yes, I love everything

related to the world of tea.

But I still have

a long way to go.

I'm always afraid

of spilling a hot cup.

I made the choice

of taking this one for tonight.

A mountain Oolong

which was smoked over charcoal.

It has a particular scent.

I'll tell you more

when we try it.

We have three teapots

which are suitable for enhancing its aroma.

These three teapots are good.

Choose one.

That one.

Okay, we can begin.

All right.

Thanks.

It's very intense.

Smell it again.

In Asia, we say "taste the tea"

for drink the tea.

"Taste" is written

with three identical characters.

This character means mouth.

So a cup of tea

can be tasted in three sips.

The first suggests the surroundings.

The whole environment.

The second reveals the taste.

The third exalts your soul.

That is, your feelings.

Li-Ben...

...loves being with you

at the shop.

Me too.

I get on well with him.

You're lucky

to have a son like him.

Li-Ben will be 20 years old this year.

For me, it's the best age...

It comes with hope.

It must be celebrated

as it should be.

I often dream...

...to open a tea shop

in the village where I come from.

I'd like to introduce my people

to tea and the art of tea.

The teas we drink at home

have no quality. They're worthless.

They have no taste.

They don't bring anything.

And you?

Can you tell me

your biggest dream?

Between each preparation step...

...you have to take time

to breathe...

...by concentrating

on your own breathing.

Only by doing this, will you enjoy

every moment with tea.

I stayed up late,

on the phone.

Very late.

And with whom did you talk so much,

so late at night?

Come on, don't keep

your secrets from me.

My big sister.

Your sister?

If you say so.

Cut it out!

Eat and stop asking questions.

My boss reported

lots of new products.

I have a bunch of tastings to do.

Of new products?

For you?

No, not for me.

For the customers.

Don't pick up.

Let it ring.

He'll call you back.

You'll see.

The thing to do with men,

is let them languish.

Why would I do that?

How long have you known about men?

Hello everyone.

- Good evening.

- No, thank you.

We don't want anything.

- New fans.

- No, thank you, we don't want it.

Have I done something wrong?

That stuff stinks.

I advise you to go

find something else.

All right.

I'll come back.

- Why does he bother you?

- But, Aya...

They come all the time.

They don't let us breathe.

Breathe...? Breathe where?

We need peace

in our salon.

And where's your salon?

Your salon is here, in his place,

in his country.

Vivi...

...if you're not happy here,

go back where you came from.

Thanks Treasure.

I'm going to go change.

There you are.

You're an angel, Joshua.

Wow!

Say, you look fabulous.

Thank you.

Wonderful.

Your man will be in heaven.

Thanks, that's nice.

My man... He's Chinese.

- Good evening.

- Good evening.

Mr Wang has already arrived.

Please follow me.

Thanks.

Every day I see a man

in the building opposite.

I see him come and go

between his kitchen and his dining room.

I see him seriously

preparing meals.

When it's all ready,

his wife appears.

She sits and they eat

what he's prepared.

He must be from Shanghai.

Shanghai men are like that.

I've never told anyone...

...what I'm about to tell you.

It was a long time ago...

...and it was far from here.

It wasn't in China.

With my wife, Ying,

I had a small restaurant.

It was doing very well.

Couldn't you be careful?

You're even doing that wrong.

Wang Cai...

...it would be good if you stopped

speaking to me in that tone.

Please.

Not in front of customers.

They don't understand

what I'm saying.

Of course they do.

They understand

that you shout at me.

It's nothing.

Stop crying.

If I knew how to pray,

I would pray...

I'd pray for you.

I'd pray that you'd be happy.

And I'd pray too

for my own happiness.

I felt as though

drops of water...

...were crashing

deep into my stomach.

It made a dull noise like that.

Like a sound resonating endlessly...

...and whose echo...

finished by making me deaf.

Wang Cai...

Remember of our very first meeting.

After being introduced...

...we found ourselves alone...

...once everyone had left.

And there you asked me shyly...

...if I liked the work I was doing.

If I had good relationships

with my colleagues.

I asked you exactly

the same thing.

Afterwards...

..we had the opportunity

to meet once again...

...and everything happened

very quickly.

You had to go to Cape Verde

for your work.

I was...

...like baggage

that you took with you...

...and that you put down

wherever you had to go.

And who had to stay put...

Like a suitcase

which is kept in a corner.

I'm not blaming you for it.

Li-Ben...

...is the child

that we both wanted.

Wang Cai...

...I don't know if there was ever

one day that I loved you.

I was looking at her...

...and it was as if

I saw someone else.

You aren't a victim of anything.

Go away, I want to be alone.

I never considered

I was a victim.

I don't think I ever said I was.

But I respect your decision.

Hello, boss.

What do you want?

Your signs are too small.

Look at this one.

It's big...

you should put it in front.

People would notice it.

And this one...

You see?

You have to make it bigger.

You're bothering Mei again.

But no, I don't bother her.

I give her advice.

Wouldn't you be in love

without daring to tell her?

Me? In love with her?

I have too much to do for that.

You do nothing all day...

and you have too much to do?

Hey, I'm not like you

who falls in love with a photo.

Watch yourself!

Piss off!

Hey! Wang Li-Ben!

Looking for serious and suitable

husband for my daughter.

So, it still doesn't work?

You should change my photo.

I should change the photo?

What for?

I really like this photo.

Patience always pays off

in the end.

Lately, your father's no longer

coming with me to the park.

He finds it too frustrating.

When he comes home...

...he remains silent

and don't come and talk to me.

In fact, last Saturday,

he came to see me in the kitchen.

He asked me how I was.

If I was happy.

And fulfilled.

I always told myself...

...that love was about

waiting for happiness.

It's probably stupid.

You're the proof

of your parents' happiness.

Stop it!

I'm not talking to you

about our family.

And a child is not always

proof of it's parents' happiness.

Lots of couples have children

and are unhappy.

Kaikai, come here!

Come on.

Have you been very good?

Come on, go back to your mum.

Mrs Huang...

you've done a lot of shopping.

- It must all be heavy.

- Yes.

Tao, you come twice a week,

don't you?

Yes. And occasionally,

three times.

He pays every time.

Very good customer.

- Your shirt is very sexy.

- You like it?

- I'm going.

- Okay.

Goodbye. Goodbye, grandma!

Goodbye, Tao.

See you soon.

He has a fiance.

No, no.

I swear.

- Does that relieve you?

- It's good.

I love your hairstyle.

You like it?

You've changed again.

Now that I'm single,

I can change as much as I want.

You're right.

Didn't you say your husband

was joining you?

I can't wait to meet him.

I am sure that like you,

he's a good person.

A man who lets

his wife leave for so long...

...and who, since then,

waits for her to come back...

We don't see that every day.

Your children will surely be adorable.

Yes. You know, if all your

people's men are like him...

I'm moving to your country.

Once I'm there,

I'll open a big beauty salon.

And who knows...

Maybe I'll meet

a good man for myself.

Let me tell you something...

The men who live here

only think about their job.

None of them are interested in love.

With us, it's the same.

Douyue...

I've told you stories.

I'm not married.

The day before the day

of our wedding ceremony...

...he cheated on me.

You know, men...

...think about their ex when

making important decisions.

There's nothing we can do about it.

They are like that.

Have you seen the news?

People were on about

Africans from "Chocolate City".

I find that sad.

I didn't see it.

I was at the plantation all day.

I heard about it.

The jewellery store saleswoman told me.

The jewellery store was obliged

to close due to the events.

Here, look at these pics.

Don't you think it's exaggerated,

unjust and unworthy?

For me, it goes beyond

a closed jewellery store.

Yes, it's unfair.

Which one of you is Treasure?

That's me. Why?

Aya sent me

to get my hair done.

Tao, please sit down.

Thank you.

So what do we do?

What cut would you like?

It's already very short,

you know?

I go to the hairdresser

two to three times a week.

Three times a week?

Why?

When I was a kid,

I dreamed of having a bicycle.

All his life, my father

was a worker.

He worked at the factory.

When he came home in the evening,

I went up to him.

I always asked him

the same thing.

Dad, where is my bike?

Where is it?"

My father would hold me

in his arms and say...

Tao, my boy,

Dad will buy it for you soon.

And then I was very happy.

I knew it was just because...

...my father took me

in his arms...

...and stroked my head.

Today we are going to study

the closed cup lid method.

You have to use

hand gestures.

Once you have poured

the boiling water...

...you can move the lid

three times.

And delicately...

...you put it back down..

...so as to leave a space.

Then, with this hand...

...and especially this phalanx...

...you settle the lid.

Like so.

Wait... it has to be straighter.

That's it.

I'm afraid of getting burned.

Yes, that's the risk.

Be careful.

It hurts when you get burned.

This is why

each of our gestures...

...must be done precisely.

It must be to the nearest millimetre.

Be careful.

Yes.

Don't get tense.

What perfume...!

So, do you like it?

It's delicious.

I really like it.

- Wen...

- Mrs Zhang?

Are you coming to see Li-Ben?

He just went out.

And Wang Cai?

In the store room. I'll call him.

Are you Aya?

Yes.

I'm Zhang Ying, Li-Ben's mum.

I know.

Nice to meet you.

Me too.

I need to get back to work.

- Yes.

- Bye.

What brings you?

We're having dinner

at my mother's house.

Ah... Give her my regards.

Ah, Mum, you're here.

Where have you been?

I was in the area.

So let's go?

We'll leave you.

Bye.

The next time she comes,

ring twice to alert me.

- What are you drinking?

- An orange juice.

- Keva, I take the same thing.

- OK.

Thank you.

I saw you chatting

with Zhang Ying.

Zhang Ying...

I would have liked

to have chatted longer.

Just now,

we barely met.

But it was good to meet her.

Aya...

You're a beautiful person.

A good person.

Thank you.

At this time of year, the leaves

were almost all harvested.

Let me see.

Stay still.

Oh...

See that?

Do you know that all the teas that

we sell come from the same plants?

This season, we pick winter tea.

I take three leaves.

Here, smell.

Its scent is intense.

That is the authentic scent of tea.

I like it when Mei

calls you Black Tea.

I like it too.

Experts say that black tea

has a bright taste.

How soft and smooth it is,

like jade.

When you taste it,

it stays in your mouth a long time.

After drinking it, it releases

a new scent in the throat.

This perfume that develops

in the throat, resonates in the nose.

I would say...

...that this is what

you provoke in me.

Are you sure

you don't want it?

Dad...

Do you trust me?

Why that question

all of a sudden?

Of course...

I have complete confidence in you.

So why are you hiding things from me?

I don't understand why you don't tell

me anything about your relationship.

That Aya doesn't say anything

is normal.

But you are my father.

Actually, I never know

what you really think.

It hurts Mum.

And it hurts me too.

There are certain things...

...which I find difficult to talk about.

Your mother knows perfectly well.

Don't think I want to

hide all this from you...

What I want above all...

Its about protecting you.

You always want to protect me.

But from what, exactly?

This all scares me.

Only the truth can protect me.

They're building

shopping centres here.

"Chocolate City" will

eventually disappear.

And me...

I'm going back

to our country.

Why do you say that ?

Are you sure you'll leave?

I'm sure of it.

What else can I do?

Aya, your story touched me a lot.

You are a woman

who has a lot of courage.

As soon as there's a problem,

you know how to cope.

I'd love to be that strong.

Touli...

I'm not like that. You're wrong.

I'm not that brave.

I wish that you'd be happy.

To experience happiness and joy.

I'd like you to tell me everything.

Tell me your story.

You want to know my story?

I don't have a story.

I have nothing.

How nice of you.

Thank you for understanding.

Thank

Wang Cai, I spoke with Touli.

You know her well?

What's her story?

Touli was our employee.

I hired her for five years.

She was a very good employee.

There was a man, Samuel,

he was an African.

He came to Canton

twice a year.

Buying... but not much.

However, he came regularly.

Every year, in January and June.

Each time, there were a few days left.

During each of his visits to Canton...

...he stopped to pick up Touli

at the store...

...and he took her to dinner.

Touli called him Sami.

The day after...

...when she arrived

at the store to work...

...she was in a good mood.

But as soon as he left Canton...

...Touli was always sad

for at least a week.

One day, Touli received

a phone call at the store.

It was a woman calling.

They spoke at length.

This woman told Touli

that Samuel was dead.

And also...

...that Samuel was Touli's father.

Touli was not aware of this.

So she hung up...

...and she left the store.

She never came back

to work with us.

So now you know

Touli's story.

This is my daughter, Eva.

She turned 20 this year.

Cai...

You have to go find her.

It's complicated for me.

After all these years...

...to go back and see her

like that...

And then having to

leave her again...

It's not that easy.

Have you thought of us?

If you continue to ignore

the existence of this child...

...don't you prevent us from

any chance of a happy future?

Do you remember what you

asked me the other day?

You wanted to know

what my biggest dream was.

Well, it's seeing my daughter again.

Xiao Yan...

You know what?

In fact, I envy you.

You envy me?

Why's that, Korka?

I don't see how you can envy me.

I envy you

because you're a dancer.

You must never give up dancing.

When you're on stage...

...everyone looks at you...

in silence.

I find that very beautiful.

I too wanted to become a dancer.

But no one believed in me,

so I gave up trying.

Above all, never do like me...

All right?

You know, its not me

who wants to give up.

It's my body saying no more.

On some days of despair,

I talk to it.

I ask it why it doesn't

want to anymore.

I hope that one day,

it will desire to dance again.

But more often than not...

...I have the impression

that my body is no longer there.

Can you imagine

what that can do?

Good evening, Cai.

Korka...

I wish you bon voyage.

What makes you think

I'm going somewhere?

The suitcase.

Good deal.

Before, it cost too much.

You took advantage of the sales.

You're right to take this trip.

I AM right to take this trip!

- Not bad, eh?

- Great.

Your turn.

- Come on, try again.

- Wait.

You know what you'll do

for your birthday?

It's worth celebrating 20 years.

Are you going to party

with your friends?

An evening with the family.

With friends the other night.

That's great.

I'm sure you'll be spoiled.

It feels weird to me.

Tomorrow I'm going to the island

of Santo Antao, to Fontainhas.

Eva is waiting for me there.

Wang Cai...

I think it a shame

that you come back here...

...without having told Ying

the reason for your trip.

She already knew

about you and Arhanja.

She also knows about Eva.

Let's talk about something else.

May God give us health.

For the rest...

...you just have to buy it.

It was the favourite saying

of your best friend.

I always hated hearing it.

Before he left

to settle in Mexico...

...he dined here every evening.

And every night,

he made that toast.

Wang Cai...

Love can not be bought.

If I can give you advice,

come down with me.

It's a shortcut...

it will be faster.

You have to go through there.

You look happy.

I'm still happy,

believe it or not.

These are different times.

I see in your eyes

that someone's in love with you...

...and that he makes you happy.

I'll tell you a secret.

I fall in love easily.

It happens to me all the time.

You're lucky.

Yes, but...

...it can be painful.

You know, my father...

he restores paintings.

But only landscapes.

He wanted to become a doctor.

Unfortunately,

he had to abandon his studies.

He had to take care

of his parents.

So he started working.

My father often told me...

...that a restorer of paintings

and a doctor do the same thing.

It was he who insisted

that my name be Wen.

It means a cloud.

A sinuous and beautiful cloud.

The shortcut is this way.

Thank you, madam.

Don't mention it.

Thank you.

Mum, hurry up.

Are you in a hurry now?

You've been waiting for so long.

Don't move, please.

I have to take it in

at the side.

It's perfect.

Very good.

Eva!

My child...

My dearest child...

Dad.

Finally, I hear your voice.

You can't imagine how happy I am.

I knew that one day,

you'd come to find me.

Not a day goes by

without me thinking about you.

Eva...

If I came back, it's for you.

It's a gift for Li-Ben.

Here... Look...

You have to be careful...

It's very fragile.

What is it?

She's an artist friend

that I really like who did it.

She's a friend of mine.

It doesn't open.

Li-Ben must confide

his wishes to it...

...and all his dreams.

That's wonderful.

I don't dare touch it anymore.

It's very fragile.

I am sure that Li-Ben

will appreciate it very much.

I hope so.

Thanks.

What is it?

Oh...

However, they shouldn't

only come tomorrow.

Maybe it would be better

that you stay in the room.

Zhang Ying would be able to understand.

But her parents will be there too.

They might not accept it.

Sorry.

I'm sorry.

Thanks for bringing all this.

Everything is ready, everything is there,

except the one for whom everything is organized.

Sit down and let the women

take care of it.

How is business going?

It's pretty quiet at the moment.

It is not easy.

I was told that Li-Ben

likes to go to the plantation.

Yes, he's starting to get

used to work, little by little.

Cheers!

That's a good thing,

that he works on the plantation.

And it would be even better

if he avoided this neighbourhood.

Li-Ben really likes this neighbourhood.

And he is the one who chooses.

You should listen

your father-in-law. He's right.

It would be better

if he stayed away.

Li-Ben just turned 20...

Cheers.

We're toasting together.

Sit down.

Thanks.

Like some?

Let's raise our glasses.

Cheers!

Here, taste this.

Sorry, I interrupted you.

What were you saying?

What were we talking about?

We were talking about the Africans,

those awful, vicious snakes.

We need to keep them

away from our society.

Those people

can't be trusted.

I saw a photo exhibition of them.

They're compared to animals.

People criticized her,

but I found nothing shocking.

Grandpa...

Are you talking about that?

Yes.

For me, it's shameful.

Do you know any Africans?

Even just one?

Do you know one?

So what are you talking about?

Li-Ben...

Hey, we're the ones creating

the new silk roads.

We're opening a bunch

of new routes to the world.

You must first open up

to other people.

Only then will these roads

make any sense.

If these roads do not allow us

to meet others, to know each other...

...then they make no sense to me.

Li-Ben...

The last time I made a toast,

was in Cape Verde.

We were in Mindelo.

That night...

...like every other evening,

you were not there.

I wanted to fully experience my solitude

elsewhere than at home.

I went to a bar.

I had a drink.

I made friends with a French girl.

She was travelling alone.

I remember

that before she left...

...she made a final toast

and told me...

...a sentence of great beauty...

...which has lived with me

since that moment.

With sweet perspectives.

So I want to

raise my glass with you...

...with sweet perspectives.

I never told you about that evening.

Dad... Mum...

I hope one day you'll see

the world in a different way.

You drag me back to the past,

with your thoughts.

Li-Ben is 20 years old and yet,

you've still not evolved.

You let this hatred

constantly invade you.

I get the impression

that you'll never find peace.

All I want to tell you...

...is that's because I'm not

your unhappy little girl.

I'm not an unhappy woman.

I'm doing very well.

Grandpa...

The music started

in the bedroom.

It's Bluetooth.

From now on...

...all things are connected

to each other.

I'm a little tired.

I'm going to leave you.

Dad...

No need to tell you

what you already know.

How are you doing ?

And you?

It's her.

I know. It's Eva.

Children are born

to help parents grow.

You mustn't regret the past...

...Nor worry about the future.

Living entirely in the present...

...is to coexist with

the past and the future.

I forgive everything...

...but I don't forget.

Miss Aya Yohou...

...do you agree to take as your husband

Mr Toussaint Wasi here present?

If this is your wish,

say Yes, I agree.
