Good evening.
- Good evening. Good evening to all of you,
are you doing well ? What a pleasure to meet you again, audience here present,
at home possibly. You are, I imagine comfortably
installed to follow this broadcast which brings us together and resembles us,
'Only the truth matters'. The meeting place of emotion,
of the truth, laughter,
tears of joy and happiness. Open curtains
as often as possible, and the meeting
with our friends Sam and Rebecca. Good evening Rebecca.
- Good evening. How are you, Rebecca? Still very good
when I'm there. Who are you with Rebecca?
- I'm with Cyril, a former army captain, This is no joke!
- I am very serious. You better be a little straight.
- Look. Good evening Cyril.
- Good evening. Are you doing well ?
- So far so good. Do you know the show?
- Yes, still a little. An idea of the person
who can bring you here this evening? Two or three ideas.
- Won't you tell us more? - It's a secret. Me too.
- Yes ! You are as mute as a carp
and as mute as Sam. I was going to say it.
- Me too. We talk a lot,
but we won't tell you anything. Besides the nickname of the Army
was the great mute. Exactly, top secret. We're going to leave you speechless, tell you lots of things
in the dressing room and we're going to close this dressing room
Laurent to welcome the person which has an important truth
this evening to tell Cyril. This person is called Gilles. Good morning.
- I'm doing well ? Yes and you ?
- Yes, we sit there. Gilles, take a seat.
- THANKS. Are you well Gilles?
- Yes, it's okay, stressed. Yes, I am fine ! It means stressed
or is everything okay? A bit of both. How did you get the idea
to call us a few weeks ago ? Already, I recognized myself
in several portraits and because my father,
I haven't seen him in 15 years. You miss it.
- Pardon. It's complicated on a daily basis, there are gaps that are felt. I see pictures of him
where he gets old and there are many points
questions in my life. Why did we get to this point?
Why 15 years? Why this silence ?
Why little news? Full of why
and no response. Fifteen years without seeing your father, it's long,
want to say inexplicable to you. Yes, at the time I was 14 years old, teenage age,
the age when we are looking for ourselves, where we ask ourselves a lot of questions
on his life. We are not always easy.
- Yes. I had some news from him
and some messages, text messages for birthdays
when he didn't have the wrong day, we can all forget that,
It could happen, otherwise he never asked me again
to see each other. You say we, you also didn't take any steps
during these 15 years to reconnect? Yes, I tried with a letter that I had written to him
with a Christmas present or a birthday gift,
but with a love letter where I told him
everything I felt in my heart and from what I remember,
I did not have any answer. I gave him a nice shirt and I didn't get any photos of him
carrying her. I believe
that I had a response to my letter, but for me, it's not worth my father's presence
next to me, they're just words,
there is no act. How long ago
this letter with this gift? Ten, 12 years old.
- A long time ago. Yes. Your story like many stories
that we deal with here, are very linked
at events between adults. Your mom and dad are separated when you were a child.
- Yes. There had been 15 years of absence, but first,
It wasn't going well. No, but there were tensions,
there were births, there was separation,
a remarriage, making
that I didn't know how to find my place and I had the impression
that he didn't leave me one. You had this discussion with him
when you were a teenager. You told him
that you had the impression of not being loved enough,
for not being his daughter. We didn't have a dialogue,
no, we never talked about it. Cyril doesn't speak easily? No, someone very modest,
very reserved. Afterwards, I tell you this,
but I don't know him that well, but I think so, he is someone who is very modest and who does not dare to express these feelings. Who perhaps has a little pride which means he doesn't really know
position yourself in all of this. He is like me,
lots of questions and it arises perhaps
the same questions as me. Maybe yes. It's been going on for 15 years
and if we wait for each other, There will never be change. We made a film about your story
as usual in our show. With your documents
to try to tell the best story possible this story of a girl and her father
who never really found each other. At 29 years old,
Gilles has everything to be happy, but behind his smiles in the photos, scars not closed. very small,
his parents separate, this break will deeply mark it. Gilles stays with mom
and visits dad on the weekend. Things have changed, Gilles doesn't find his place
at his dad's. Seeking affection from his father
who does not realize his needs. Gilles enters adolescence,
difficult to manage. At 14,
she's going to live with dad for a while, but she feels misunderstood,
sidelined so she leaves, 15 years ago and it was the last time
that she saw her father. Gilles hoped for more attention,
don't even try to contact him anymore. Cyril also lost,
don't take any steps towards her either. A father and a daughter
who don't know how to say I love you, led them
a silence of 15 years. Even if we can't
catch up, little Gilles, 14 years old, has always
need his daddy's love. Will Cyril be able to prove his love?
to his daughter this evening? We will know that in a few moments. You're crying, Did some photos make you fall in love?
- Yes. Photos of your father
And you ? Yes, where he doesn't hold me in his arms, even the photo
where I sit next to him, there's no love. There is no love in the photos. This photo,
he looks at me. In the before photo or the after photo, he looks at you with love.
- Yes. A photo is a snapshot
of a second or a microsecond and that does not necessarily translate
reality and truth. I don't have a photo of him. maybe he has some,
but in any case on my side, I didn't even have any albums to take me back to my childhood. You had a 'surrogate' dad,
A stepfather. Yes, since I was four and he's my second dad,
fortunately he was there. I was able to find a dad
that I didn't have, he raises me like his own daughter. He had two other children with my mother and it never made a difference. When he introduces me to others,
he says I'm his daughter. I see pride in his eyes,
I see love and I would like to find that at my dad's house. Your daddy is still
with the same person? Do you have news about him?
still by the band or by the entourage or by the family. Yes, by loved ones. He's always with the same person the last time you saw him?
- Yes. With whom things weren't going very well.
- At all. Do you think that,
that could also have played a role in the fact that you don't get along very well
with your mother-in-law in the distance from your father?
- Absolutely, this is the main cause. I am sure of one thing, it's that if she hadn't been there,
there would never have been this. Did you come to reproach him?
- No. I would like answers to my questions
and simply find it. What are your questions?
- Why no news? He has three other children and I'm the only one
who he no longer speaks to, why me? Why all of this ? He had three other children
not with your mom? No. He had with my mom
a first granddaughter my big sister. Who is he talking to?
- Yes. Because she is a mother
two grandchildren and he became a grandpa,
so it tightens the links. They always had a very good relationship.
both and always a very strong bond than me,
I never had with him. Are you close to your big sister?
- Yes very. I imagine it's
a form of confidante. When you have a big sister,
we know what she thinks, she knows what we think.
- Yes. What does she give
as an explanation? What does she tell you
to reassure you ? She tells me he has changed, that he is no longer the dad from before, that they are no longer so strict
both, that it's cooler. Afterwards, I have to go on my own
to really realize, because she has another look
on my father. She tells me things,
but I didn't experience the same thing. You hear it but not experience it.
- Yes. Does he ask about you? He asks for my news,
my big sister told me, that dad asked him
of my news. Why wasn't he calling me?
that's what I'm asking. I'm touched
let them hear from me, but I would like to hear his voice, say hello to me my daughter
and how was I? Let him tell me he misses me. Yes, there were text messages where he told me:
'Dad who loves you' with a little heart, 'signed dad, kiss!'
He calls me my Gilloux. These are words that touch me,
but it's words and a text message
anyone can send one, the actions afterwards are something else. Apart from missing this father today,
are you a happy, fulfilled woman? - Totally. It's the only thing missing
to be completely serene. Yes. Do you think he expects you?
- I think. We'll see how he reacted
when Rebecca brought him the invitation. We are in Servian, a common
from the department of Hérault, not very far from Béziers. This town is known for its church
from the 15th century and for its somewhat medieval side. I'm here to deliver this invitation
to Cyril who should have returned from work,
here we go. We arrive in front of his house. Good evening.
- Good evening. Rebecca from 'Only the truth that counts'. Are you Cyril?
- Yes. I give you this invitation hoping to find you
on our set. It's a surprise, thank you. He received the invitation.
- Yes. He's already with Rebecca,
he accepted the invitation, he's in our studios this evening. Are you ready to talk to him? Yes, with great apprehension. It's not easy to have to condense everything we have in our heads
and all this relational complexity which has lasted since adolescence,
even childhood in a few minutes. Yes. We will help you
and you will take your time. You can also chat with him
If you want, you are at home on this set. We're going to go to the other side with Pascal and we'll see what your daddy says and do when he sees you
in the screens. You are ready ?
- Yes. See you later Gilles.
- Good luck ! A little water or a tissue,
we've already given you everything. See you soon.
- See you soon. We're going to close the curtain Pascal
and we go at the same time ask our comrades in management
to reopen Rebecca's dressing room. We are always here
with the sound of cicadas, everything is fine, still the South.
- Where does Cyril come from? I lived in Marseille for 15 years,
my wife is from Marseille, so normal. Now he is in Béziers.
- Exactly. Not very far. Now you go to the set.
- Alright. With the big mute.
- You will follow Sam who is mute
and the truth is just down the hall. Alright.
Thank you Rebecca. Welcome to this set.
- THANKS. Hello Cyril.
- Nice to meet you, Laurent. Sit down there. You don't look stressed at all.
- A little, it's in there. You know the show.
- Yes. Do you watch it from time to time?
- Yes. You told us
that you had some ideas who could invite you tonight.
- Yes. That you wouldn't tell us anything.
- It's a secret, the former soldier
always talk like that. Not a word
- Top secret. More seriously,
yes, I either have a military side because we don't erase 27 years of army
like that, or on the family side. Brothers and sisters,
uncle, aunt, cousin. No. I am an only child,
so that's it. I think maybe
one of my daughters. Why one of your daughters? We tend not to see each other too much, the distance does that too. When you say not too much,
how long has it been? We spoke on the phone,
but not seen for quite a few years. What's not bad in military language?
- A good ten years. It's a lot to not see your daughter.
- Yes. It could be your daughter.
- Yes. Your eldest daughter? No, my youngest daughter
from my first marriage, Otherwise a friend from the army? There are thousands of them. Why a ?
- Exactly. You have a whole regiment
behind the curtain, there are 45 of them
with fanfare of course to wish you a happy retirement
one of these four. A clue Cyril?
- Why not. The clues,
you know where this is going. In the screens,
we're going to ask you a question. Cyril, you are the type
to look for things or wait for us to come? It depends on what thing. In general, in life. No, I am very divided. When I really want
of something, I will go get him. Sometimes,
I let myself be carried away a little, I take the easy way out. A bit like all of us sometimes.
- So. Are there no other clues there? This is a real clue. Frankly, the clues are rotten,
This happens to us very often. Don't talk like that about my clues!
- Yes. Do I offer you
to pierce through this curtain with your gaze via the magic of TV and discover
Who is inviting you this evening? Yes I want. Stare at those screens again Cyril. It's Gilles. It’s you Gilles. I was not mistaken. This beautiful young woman
who stands on the other side of the curtain, This is your youngest daughter Gilles. Yes quite. Time doesn't necessarily pass
in the same way, depending on whether we are on one side
or on the other side of the curtain, because Gilles tells us
that it's been 15 years until you saw each other. I'm doing the accounts. The last time
that she came home, she was in fourth grade,
so 12, 13 years old. Yes. Anyway,
I'm not here to discuss years. No.
- Neither does she, I think. We understand
that you were not surprised since you had thought of Gilles. Are you touched to see her? To see her on the other side of that curtain?
- Yes, I'm quite surprised. I discussed it with my wife
and we thought about it, but with time. In any case, I thank her
for having taken this step. Will you listen to what she has to say to you?
- Yes of course. Gilles, it's yours,
your dad listens to you. First of all,
I thank you for coming this evening. I didn't expect at all
for you to come. I really do not know
where to start. If I took this step, This is to first of all tell you that even if I don't give you
lots of news, even if I'm not looking
necessarily to call you, know that I miss you very much. It's hard for me
to express what I feel because the last time you saw me, you found me very closed off. I came to tell you
that I need you in my life. I need to find you because we lost many years and time passes. As you see,
I got older and I grew up. I think that on your side,
you have to ask yourself a lot of questions too or you must not know where to start and what to do to recreate contact and a link If you wanted. You told us your story
quickly, without the details
who do not look at us but separation, like many couples,
life like that which changes direction. You pick up your daughter on the weekend,
holidays, like so many divorcees. Gilles told us
that she had not been an easy teenager, that she still had
made things easier, that it wasn't easy for her. That she had experienced certain things badly, that she had not always
well behaved, sometimes closed. I can understand too
that I was that difficult teenager which was not easy to have to manage
when dad saw me. You felt it like that
At that time ? No. No way ?
- No. No. She's not a difficult child. that's not what she thinks,
no, that has nothing to do with it. I don't want to create controversy
with her older sister. Parents always have favorites. I already told Gilles, Gilles has always been my favorite and his character was his charm. She is what she is
and it must remain so. The time we didn't see each other, I put it more down to the fact of the distances, things of life. Me personally, I trusted her, trust in humans
who sooner or later, we will be back,
what Gilles did. With all my children,
I never wanted to force them to force them to come. It had to come from them,
of what they felt. I did this with his sister,
I did this with her, I do this even with the last two. When you truly love your children, sooner or later,
they end up feeling it. I always loved Gilles
like the others. Yes, she has a special character, that's also why
that I always adored her. Sometimes it's a little annoying,
but it's like that. This is my Gilles
and she is like that. You say you missed her a lot
during these 15 years. Also. A father cannot do without
of his children. I always missed her. When people always ask me
how many children I have, I always say five. I never said four or three,
it's five, four girls and a boy. She has always been part of the family. You have connections
for several years, with her older sister. Yes. Maybe she gave you
news from Gilles as she also gave to Gilles
news about you. You can understand that for Gilles,
it may be suffering, or in any case
the source of great perplexity to say why
he has relations with my sister and why not with me?
Why doesn't he take the first step? If she should blame me for something,
I want to hear it, yes, I could have, I should have gone to see you there. At one point, following a discussion with your sister,
when you had big worries, I had even expressed the desire
to come get you. Once again, it was difficult
to go against your will because I know your character. You would have been able
not to open the door for me or send me back. Yes, that's the criticism
what you can do to me and that I agree to endorse
as responsible, it's not coming to get you, but I recognize it. It's still surprising
to hear how there may be misunderstandings between a child and his mother,
his father. To hear from your mouth
and without insulting love that you bear to your other children, you said it. It's almost always been my favorite, in any case the one whose character
and the charisma touched me the most, and to hear
on the other side a young woman who suffers from having the feeling of having
always been the ugly duckling and that his father liked the least. There is a terrible misunderstanding.
- Yes it's clear. I recognize that this is quite paradoxical. Exactly, I loved him so much,
may be too much, that I let her do
what she wanted when she decided not to come. When I called him before the holidays, asking her if she wanted to come
or not, if she told me no,
I accepted it. You didn't insist? No because I preferred to know them
maybe happy at their mother's than rather see them come backwards. Cyril, I will ask you
to face the curtain as is the premise of the show. There is on the other side of this plateau,
your youngest daughter Gilles, 29 years old today. She comes to tell you
how much he misses you in his life and how much she needs
to know that you love him. Also without repeating the past
since we won't do it again and above all without rehashing it. To look towards tomorrow,
to create a place for you in his life and a place in yours. You can leave this curtain closed as he has been for years
between you. Do you decide to open it?
- Yes. So we're going to open it.
- Go for it ! I love you dad. How are you ?
- How are you. Gilles, you forced your nature
by coming to make this set and a little that
from your dad too. We feel that it is someone
modest and reserved, but it was for a good cause. Happy with this outcome?
- Yes, relieved too. It's a ritual question
that we ask everyone, why you come
to 'It's only the truth that counts'? Question posed
so many viewers and those who comment on it. Why don't they call each other
and don't see each other? You told us
that you do not explain what was happening between your father
and you for 15 years. I think what's going to happen,
tonight I hope so, will provide the beginning of an answer
or a click. A trigger for our relationship
so that things finally change. Do you feel this way from now on?
- Yes. If I invited him tonight
and in front of everyone, it's to show him how much
my love for him is so strong that this show
and that's my dad. Bravo to you for opening your heart
and this curtain tonight. Be happy both of you.
- Don't leave each other. Pascal, we will discover
a new story now. We're going to establish this beautiful connection
with Rebecca's lodge, It’s such a joy every time. Your eyes are beautiful Rebecca!
- THANKS. Every time
that the screen opens on the board, everyone only sees your eyes. I'll keep them open. Who are you with Rebecca? I am with Florine
who accepted our invitation. Good evening Florine.
- Good evening. Florine is not very comfortable, it starts from the principle
whatever the person who invited her,
this person does not know her, because she hates being put forward. Yes, but tax inspectors sometimes, do not know their taxpayer well. They are looking for you everywhere. You are ready to join us,
do you want to see us? Yes. Happy to be with Rebecca?
- Yes. We leave you.
- We're going to have a good time. We are going to discover this person as soon as the connection
will be cut with the lodge, who doesn't know Florine very well
or knows her well, thought it might please him
to be there. He even knows her very well. His name is Nicholas. Hi Nicolas. Hi Nicolas, welcome. How are you ?
- How are you. Did you hear what we just said?
- Yes. You didn't know her well, otherwise you would know she doesn't like
to be invited. That's it ?
- Yes. The issue of your presence
on set this evening is important, because you want to win her back,
that's it ? Yes. At the same time,
you have an amazing story, quite rare.
- Quite beautiful. You met when you were 13.
- Before that, we were eight years old in primary school. In love right away?
- Not immediately. Yes, young.
- That's it. A childhood love. At 13 years old,
we were already in college, it was already a little more and we lost sight of each other a little
because I moved to Brittany. My birthday,
when I was 14 or 15, she wished me happy birthday
and it started again. She came to live in Brittany
with me and all that afterwards. We had two beautiful daughters.
- How old are they today? Six and four years old. You keep busy
like parents who are no longer together at the moment.
- Yes. Why are you separated? and that she no longer wanted
that you lived together? No, it was Nicolas who made the decision.
- It's me, yes. Because of what ? I didn't really feel loved, perhaps stupid of me,
but things happened so that there were highs
and stockings. The more it went,
more was less good. We don't realize it at the time,
but I shouldn't have done that. You had a first response when you realized
that it was no longer okay, you looked elsewhere.
- That's it. I didn't cheat on her. - Yes, it was after the breakup.
- Afterwards, yes. How long with this other woman? Almost three years, because basically the thing, since I left her
until not so long ago, with the other person, suddenly it was okay,
suddenly it didn't work out. She wasn't the woman of your life.
- No. With this new companion,
finally, it's the breakup, Yes.
- Definitive. There, something is happening
quite astonishing, unusual, Florine is offering you
to come back and live with her. When we returned the accommodation
that we had taken. With the second companion.
- Yes. I didn't want to go
at my parents, she told me to come home
if I wanted. There are the girls and I'm here.
- Yes. There you decide to return
in 'the family nest', but nothing is happening between you. It wasn't me specifically.
- More like her and you. Yes.
- At the same time, it is understandable. How long has it been that you live together
as a parental couple in the same house? A good year already. Oh yes !
- Yes. No relation ?
- On the other hand, we get along very well. I was talking about romantic relationships Nothing ?
- No. You tried ?
- She does not want to. She expressed at one point, a little misunderstanding,
a little one you never know. A little, but she says
that she won't be able to forgive me. I tell myself that if we didn't try,
we couldn't know. You work,
you come home in the evening. Florine is also there, what is happening
when you come home? are you putting the key in the door? Hello darling!
A kiss on the mouth. No not at all. Not on the mouth ! No not at all. On the cheek ?
- Yes, we say hello. Hello like that.
- It is a kiss. The evening unfolds.
- Yes. When I say
that we get along very well, we might not even say
that we are no longer a couple. There is nothing
that a couple would really do. Are you going on vacation together?
- Not really. We have family in the same place, we happened to leave together,
because it's simpler, but everyone went their own way. I'm going to say something
completely indiscreet, but you don't sleep in the same bed? No, everyone has their own room,
me, her and the girls. Every evening,
everyone stays in their room? Yes. Not once, you…. In the name of our common history. At the beginning when I left her, yes. No, have you since taken over a commune?
- No. Has since that you live with a roommate, you have one or the other,
stories or adventures? She got it and so did I. Her too ?
- Yes yes. While you're roommates?
- The same… The guy calls in the evening
and she answers. - No no !
- I create scenarios. It may have already happened
without me realizing it. It might happen to him to go out,
that she had dinner tonight and you imagine
that maybe it's with a man. Yes.
- Does that make you jealous? Yes. What makes you think
that this approach this evening, can convince her
that there is something to take back, to recreate with you? I tell myself that saying it
in front of a lot of people, I tell myself that she might think
that it is much more sincere. For me, it’s sure it’s sincere. Is this the woman of your life?
- Really. Always ?
- Yes. What speech have you prepared?
to explain to your ex, love of youth, of your life,
with whom you are no longer just roommates, Mother of your children,
- Yes. That you are ready, there to start something again with her
and that it can do it between you. I already love him,
that's for sure. We learn from our mistakes,
I took a lot of time, I wanted to apologize. Finally in my head,
it's just her. At home,
you have discussions on the subject. Yes, but she is… His ex-wife who we still love,
it's not simple, lots of things happened,
from time to time, at the coffee shop,
at 10 p.m. after dinner, that we put the children to bed,
we discuss, we talk. Same separate room, you talk.
- Yes. What do you say to yourself?
How long will you stay like this? Should we stop being roommates?
Shall we separate? Are you considering things? We've already said a lot to each other
like that. The problem is that she doesn't have any
of family in Brittany, it's only on my side. I think that's why
that she wants to go back to where we came from. You would be ready to follow her
what if she ever leaves again? In all cases
and even if she told me no, I will go there for my daughters, so as not to be far away. It can be an argument that you will follow her
till the end of the world, where you go, I will go. Like a shadow. She already knows it
that I will follow her. You too,
where you go I will go Pascal. I will be faithful to you like a shadow. - In the evening, you watch films
together, series? Love at first sight in Notting Hill? To put you in the mood a little.
- No. Do you have good times with her? We get on very well,
that is the problem. You laugh ?
- Yes. Do you have the same tastes?
- A lot, yes, all the same. Never…
- No no ! Nicolas, we really let you forge
your arguments one last time, because in a few minutes,
you are going to play big and we will do everything
so that it goes as well as possible. It's up to Florine to decide,
of course, OK.
- See you later. THANKS.
-Good luck. Not easy Pascal. I know Florine well.
- You think. The lodge is not yet open. The curtain is tightly closed. We will reestablish the connection
with Rebecca's lodge. Is Florine a little more
serene? No.
- I was going to say yes, she said no. I think the best,
it's because she joins you. We are very happy about it.
- Please stand up. Sam who is on your left. You will follow Sam
and the truth is just down the hall. Good evening.
- Good evening and welcome Florine. Good evening.
- Sit down there. Do you know the show?
- Yes. Yes, do you watch it from time to time?
- Yes. You like it ?
- Yes. You never said to yourself
that you would be invited here? No. No, I'm definitely not going to go there. These two idiots there. No, it's the opposite,
especially exposing myself like that. It's done now,
It's going to go very well. It's not that unpleasant. The nice team,
Rebecca is adorable. Yes.
- Sam holds your arm tightly. - Yes. You have thought of lots of ideas, called people,
it's you, not you, etc. Yes.
- you are married ? No.
- No. Friends
long lost sight of, your family with whom to reconcile? you have investigated lots of leads
different. Yes, I thought of lots of things, but there is nothing coming. What do you do for a living ?
- I was in the food industry. A little hint Florine.
- Yes. Look in these screens,
we're going to ask you a question. Florine, if you were one of the five senses,
which one would you be? Nice question from this pretty lady. I would say the view. Is it important to see things?
- Yes. The clue doesn't help.
- No way. Do you have children?
- Two little girls. How old ?
- Six and four years old. They're good little girls,
absolute happiness. A little disappointed
not having a boy. Maybe it will come one day.
- Oh there. - Six and four,
the difference can make it. Yes but no. You are young.
- Yes. So much past.
- Yes, but yes. If it was another child,
you would like a boy. Yes.
- They came with you? No.
- Who keeps them? Their dad. Second clue.
- If Florine wants it. Yes.
- Look. We never have time to do well,
but always time to do it again. It depends.
- It depends ? It depends on the situation. This clue tells you a little more,
No ? Maybe.
- Yes. What is the tattoo on your arm?
- A hedgehog. A hedgehog is either very soft,
or it stings. You're more of a stinging hedgehog
or very soft. It could be one
as it can be the other. Is a Pascal hedgehog so soft? It can be very sweet
when the spikes come in. have you ever caressed one?
- If. I'm not even sure you've seen one.
- If. Caressing him no. If I saw any,
I wouldn't think of petting him. A hedgehog is very cute. We're not going to do either
30 million friends it's 'It's only the truth that counts'. We return to Florine. Do you want now
discover the person Who is inviting you this evening? You don't have to,
you can say no, that you would rather not know. I came to know,
otherwise I wouldn't have come. Stare at his screens, Franck Broqua will move to the other side
from the curtain with its cameras and make the person appear
who wanted to see you and talk to you. Very strong is he who analyzes exactly
your facial expression at that point in the game, I don't know if you're surprised, happy or not,
we do not know. A long story with Nicolas
which goes back to childhood, during teenagehood.
- Yes. A beautiful love story,
two little girls. Yes. Life has been there
and not simple, etc. We imagine that you know what Nicolas
come and tell you this evening, right? Yes.
- Yes. This is a fairly unprecedented situation that you live together under the same roof
with your children, hearing you perfectly well. Very friends, very accomplices, very friends.
- Yes. Love story
for the moment is at a standstill. That's it. Do you want to hear
what does he have to say to you? - I came for that. Nicolas, it's yours. Florine, I brought you here to prove yourself in front of everyone how much I love you. It's not easy for me either
to be there, even if you say
that I didn't know you. Basically, that I don't know you
if I brought you here. I just thought maybe it was
the last thing to do to prove things to you. We still had a beautiful story, two small
and up to three or four years ago. I'm sorry for what I did,
I left like an idiot. There's really no excuse,
I didn't realize things. If I made you come here tonight,
it's to ask you for another chance. You are my first love
and I was yours. I want you to be my last love and I hope yours too. If you open the curtain,
it's that you give me a chance, we could consider that. Just for our girls. I suffered from this when I was little,
I always told you. I don't want to do this to our daughters. Sometimes it's life, yes, I think I could prove to you
things, that I can be there
for you all the time as you could have been for me. I love you. You had a project to move from your current region
to another. You get closer to your parents.
- Yes. You told us when we saw you, I am ready to do anything for Florine. It's not easy for her not to live close
people she loves. I'm ready to accept all this
and consider what is possible to save our marriage. Tell him,
because this notion is important. It is a proof of love. Yes, it is a proof of love. After of course the words, I can show him my actions afterwards. It is in any case
a very beautiful statement that Nicolas does to you. Your story touched us a lot
when our teams told it to us. This childhood love,
adolescence and who becomes a couple, who become parents. After all, life isn't always easy. when we live everyday life,
when you live with two young children and all the vicissitudes
daily. In any case what is certain, there is love
in the heart of this man, everyone heard it. I don't doubt it, yes. You don't doubt it?
- No. Is there still some in your heart? It's different. It's different ?
- Yes. Different from his
or before for you? Different from before.
- What is different from before? The trials of life
who made it different. He told us
that you were separated for a while, that he had a history, etc. The feeling
that you do not forgive him, this choice he made for a year
and which he regrets today. It's always like that ?
- Yes. You don't forgive him
because he was not happy enough, you neither ? Once you have made the decision
to separate, was looked for on another shoulder
as it can happen sometimes, a little attention,
of tenderness or love, it doesn't matter. This is indelible for you, it's a task
that you will not swallow this story and you are not able to absorb it
or to understand it with a little perspective? I can understand, that's the way it happened
that I will not forgive. You won't forgive him.
- He knows it, we've already talked about it. Well, it's not the first time
that the subject emerges. Let us understand
and if you don't want to say anything, you do not say. Let him hear it
even if he's heard it before, but a little more official this evening. When you say
that there are things which are unforgivable for me, you say the way it was done. What was the way it was done? There aren't a thousand ways
to look elsewhere. No. I prefer not to give you details
about how it went, it is above all the suffering of three years
anyway. Do you still love him Nicolas? He told us he loved you, he expects
that it is not simple. He didn't mention girls so much
only that, girls are the apple of his eye,
from your eyes, and you will do everything for them. He talked about you
and that he still loved you. It wasn't easy, that it would take time
to win back your heart, that he still loved you. If I ask you the question. I still have because we can't forget
a first love, You can't say I don't love him anymore,
but it's really different. You no longer have strong feelings,
lover ? It's in the dark,
but no, for me. Is it vague? It's in the dark
because we have a very close relationship, but my decision is already…
- She's already arrested. It's already taken, yes. We will ask you to give it to us
by standing in front of the curtain, Please Florine. Nicolas came to tell you that at the same time,
he asked you for forgiveness, at the same time he still loved you and that you were the woman of his life. He would have liked another chance
to resume your love story. You know you can open
this curtain or leave it closed. What do you decide?
- I decide to leave it closed. Do you leave it closed?
- Yes. Florine, this is completely your freedom. We'll let you go
calmly. Kiss the girls for us
and thank you for coming. We are going to reopen the curtain
find Nicolas. The curtain opens. Nicholas, join us. I suspected it. Big doubts about the fact that this could be the outcome
of this approach. It's like that. We are sorry for you, but you also needed
of a response, that's also why you came. Many who appear on our show and who see themselves facing a curtain which remains closed,
It happens once in three, out of five, it depends, we don't calculate, often tell us afterwards,
at least I have my answer. Maybe it will do you both some good.
- I think I will be able to move forward. I stayed on that too much.
- Yes. You're not going to blame him, right?
- But no. It is… We all have a thought and we can't be in the head
from everyone. We can not. Of course.
- It's also like that. Well done ! Sorry !
- Thank you so much. We won't let you leave.
- THANKS. I ask you something Pascal.
- Yes. Do you want us to go to Rebecca's dressing room,
see if she is accompanied? No.
- No ? Come on !
- Yes of course. We will reestablish the connection.
How are you, Rebecca? It's okay, a little sad
that you didn't want. I was obviously joking. It's always a joy.
- There is someone with you. Yes, there is Alain
who accepted our invitation. Good evening Alain.
- Good evening. How are you ?
- Alright. By habit, we say very well,
but I have a bit of a cold. You're not stressed anyway?
- No. Where are you from Alain?
- Dreux. Do you know the show?
- Quite. You have an idea about the person Who is bringing you here this evening?
- A little idea, yes. A man, a woman ?
- A man. Good game.
- We're not going to tell you any more. I said we wouldn't say anything.
- Alain is insightful. It's rare to find
the first time like that. Oh yes.
- There's a one in two chance. Globally,
well done, well done! We leave you
in the good care of Rebecca. We close the connection
with the lodge to welcome the person
which has an important truth to say to Alain. Who is that man
Who asked us to invite Alain? We are going to receive Kandji on the set. Good morning.
- It's okay, Kandji. Good morning.
- Kandji. What a handsome man ! In place,
we had a very pretty wife. How are you, Kandji?
- Very well and you ? Alright.
- Alright. Nice to welcome you. Alain absolutely does not expect
until it's you on the other side of the curtain
later when the screens open. I heard he's expecting a man. He's sure he's a man. We will play it,
We'll see when it arrives. You Kandji,
a very beautiful young woman, 26 years old, everything is fine today.
- Quite. 20 years ago,
you were a very little girl, You were six years old,
but you are going to tell us, that will be simpler. Something happened to you
very serious and who could have put me
downright deadly, the end of your life.
- Maybe. What happened to you ? At the age of six, seven, I was unfortunately a victim from a very high fall of a four-story building.
- You fell out of the window. By the window,
at that time I was playing in the room and my sister came to pass
the mop because it was her cleaning day. We do dirty cleaning. The little sister in the room, she needs to free the ground
for the housework. Yes and she asks me to come upstairs
on the desk, the desk which was placed precisely
at the window sill. The anxiety of all parents. I get on this desk
to give him space. Then as soon as she was finished, she opens the window
to ventilate the room so that it dries faster. I was drawn to the view outside, there were children downstairs
who were playing. I wanted to observe, watch and my sister at that time,
finished cleaning the room and closed the door behind her. Without bringing you down.
- Yes. She thought when she was young too, that I was going to come back down right after. Or not move.
- Yes. This was not the case. Just after,
I was attracted by the people outside, I waved at them, so hello, it's me, I'm here, etc. Then people gathered just downstairs
from the window to tell me to be careful. I rolled over to the side then I was clinging to the edge
from the window outside, I rolled onto my side. Afterwards,
I only held on to one hand because I had no more strength
in the hands. You were on the ledge with one hand.
- Yes At six, seven years old.
- That's it. I had no more strength
at some point. and I fell directly onto the tarmac. There was a bush right next to it,
I fell on the tarmac. You have not been amortized.
- No. I heard people
if I remember correctly, we will try to catch up with her,
bring a sheet. The weather
that people bring a sheet, I had fallen. You find yourself on the ground.
- Face down. You have no memories
of this moment. A bit though.
- A few scraps. I don't remember the pain,
but I was crying at the time. I cried a lot in pain. I didn't know what was happening,
shouts around. I learned afterwards that my older sister
had arrived on the scene. The one who did the cleaning?
- No, another sister. The one who mopped the floor
had already left on her side. My older sister had arrived,
she cried, she screamed. Hearing his voice,
I am horrified too, to scare me. People who were at the scene, at least 20 people
to call for help from what I learned much later. People
who were on their balcony who saw me fall,
also called for help and gathered at the scene of the tragedy. Everyone mobilized.
- Yes. There, all of a sudden,
help arrived. Everyone tried to reassure me
just before. A firefighter came to carry out
taking care. What's your name
said one of the firefighters. It is at this moment
that Alain has arrived. It's Kandji, she's my daughter Lila's best friend,
let me do it. Alain who is in the dressing room
with Rebecca, is not only a firefighter
and he saves you, we will talk about it.
- Yes. He lives in your neighborhood and it's the dad
of your best friend. Yes, from childhood. He knows you.
- Yes. Do you recognize him?
- No way. My eyes were closed, I was in a state of semi-consciousness, it's only his voice who did
that I dared to open my eyes a little. What diagnosis did you have?
Fractures? Fracture of the jaw, mandible,
fracture of the left arm, of the right leg and that's it! That's not bad.
- For a four-story fall. I had no after-effects, problem in the brain which could have just altered it. Nothing at all ! A small miracle.
- Yes. They call me the little miracle. What is Alain doing at that moment? when he leans
and takes care of you? Does he do first aid?
- Quite. He proceeds
at the first aid action. He was trying to reassure me a little
on site, do not worry,
we will take care of you, because there was also his team. Do not worry, we will treat you,
we're going to take you back to the hospital, everything will be alright, just like a first aider could reassure
his patient or reassure an injured person. He tells you to hold on,
it comforts you. Quite,
it was only his voice who did
that I managed not to fall asleep, even in the ambulance,
I was told not to fall asleep. We know that we must maintain patients in this case maximally awake. Absolutely, and above all,
when falling, when he had to proceed to take me to the ambulance,
It was about not moving. Discharge from hospital,
I stayed a few weeks, or even months at home,
because I couldn't walk anymore following leg injuries. The day I went out, I went to search
my childhood best friend, his daughter. I knocked on his door, 'Hello, is this person
is here ?' She came out and we went
play as if nothing had happened. You didn't bother, what you are doing tonight,
to say thank you to Alain, for being there at the right time,
for having taken the necessary actions, for keeping me awake and to ensure
may you be today, beautiful, valid, in full health. This is what I would have wanted to tell him,
but I learned it much later that it was him. The weather
that I come to my senses, that I remember
everything that had happened. There was his daughter
with whom I could not forget: 'It was my father who saved you,
he is a firefighter, It was my father who brought you to the hospital. What's going on,
I couldn't forget it. Afterwards, you lost sight of them
both. We lost sight of each other,
his daughter and I, at college. After all this time, I never had the chance
to thank him. Even when we were dating in college, we met directly there
his daughter and me, I no longer came to pick her up at home. Which is also interesting,
that's what you told our teams, that this event and perhaps also the role of Alain
at this moment, had played a role in your vocation, because you are a nurse anesthetist.
- Quite. Your turn, you help people in situations
particularly critical because anesthesiologists, it's not just to put someone to sleep
before appendicitis surgery. They are looking into very serious cases. - Yes, it's much more than that. Effectively,
he was one of the people having inspired me to practice my profession
and this is the reason why I invited him to thank him
in addition to many things. Obvious question: when will he
ask to open the screens and he will see your face. Twenty years later,
you have changed, may
that he absolutely does not recognize you. Yes, it can be
that he absolutely does not recognize me, given
that even when I was little, I often wore long braids. I wasn't used to letting go
my hair like today. My physique has changed.
I'm no longer the same size, and the same weight. You have grown up.
- Yes, I have grown. May
that he is a little perplexed and let the suspense last
before giving you the floor. I don't know
if you think the same thing as me, everyone here,
you have an incredible voice. It's rare to see someone who speaks
in such a gentle, calm, calm manner. You look extremely zen. Thank you so much. Is this your personality?
- That's my nature. We're going to leave you behind for a few moments
and we're going to welcome the firefighter. Now retired,
Alain on the other side of this plateau. Not a word
until you are given the floor. Alright.
- See you straight away, Kandji. We close the curtain behind us.
Thank you management. Thank you Habib and we will reestablish the connection
with Rebecca's dressing room to see if Alain feels better
after Rebecca's first aid. Alain felt good,
I think it's better. Yes.
- I am a very good nurse. Please stand up.
- THANKS. You will follow Sam
and the truth is just down the hall. How are you ?
- GOOD. Welcome. Let me introduce you to Laurent.
- Good morning. Hi Alain. How are you.
- Sit down there. I'm very well. I had a cold,
but it's getting better. How are you doing other than that?
- Apart from that I'm good. You are people who,
when they arrive on our set and who are facing us, globally,
know who is behind the curtain and that’s a pleasure. There are people who don't know, who ask themselves lots of questions,
who are having a lot of trouble to put a clear track in front of us. They do not know. You have a clear idea.
- An idea. A man.
- Yes. A special man.
- Of my family. Yes, that you haven't seen
for some time now. Twenty-four years.
- Yes, it's not yesterday. No. Did you score?
- Are you angry? Yes, I got angry. Are you the angry type?
- No way. I can get angry.
- There's a good reason. Yes, finally, for me,
it's a good reason. We don't talk about it
and if it's not her. Your job Alain?
- Firefighter. - He was a 42-year-old firefighter. Professional ?
- Parisian region ? I started in Paris in the 13th,
three years and then to Dreux. Are you retired?
- For three years. You don't do anything anymore
not even volunteering? No, comes at some point,
we must leave room for young people. We must put down the spears.
- Yes. Yes Yes Yes ! Nobody says anything,
but everyone does. We must not hide our faces.
- No. It's a job
which requires a formidable condition, physical and psychological, because we see things
not rosy every day. We will never pay tribute enough, and we do it just as often
as possible on this board, to professional or volunteer firefighters. Is it that
I offer you a clue, Alain, to try to put you
on the path to truth? Someone will ask you a question. Alain, are you the type
to let people down? No no. You thought about it anyway.
- No, I'm not letting them down. He walked out of your life.
- Something I don't like. It goes out the window. Temporarily.
- Yes. Not 24 years old normally. You're not the type
to sweep out of your life for years.
- No. That means you're more of the type to remember things precisely that happened like this
20 years ago, 25 years ago. This is a very specific thing
what happened to me with this person, which I didn't like at all. I got angry, without telling me
that it was for life, The years go by.
- We let things pass. We let
and we don't really want to come back. The other person must be the same.
- Does the clue help you? Yes.
- Yes. Do you have children Alain?
- Four. Boys, girls? Frédéric, 42 years old,
Sandra, 40 years old, Valérie, 38 and Lila, 26.
- The youngest. A second clue. Look at Alain
and we're going to ask you a second question. Alain, do you think
that we all have a lucky star? I think yes. Do you believe in destiny?
- Yes. You believe in chance,
to coincidences, to things that go well?
- Yes yes. - Alain, are we putting an end to this?
to this suspense to discover the person which has an important truth
to tell you and who asked
to invite you? Absolutely, yes. We'll ask Habib
our director to kindly pierce the curtain
with his cameras so you can see the person
who is on the other side. - Oh ! I recognize her well. It's been a while since I saw him. I can speak to him ?
- Of course. She can talk to you if you say yes. There, his first name doesn't come back to me
right away. It will come back to me,
I talked about her with my daughter, the little
who really made fun of me anyway. She wanted to accompany me,
she's his girlfriend. - Oh! She told me: 'I thought of her,
but it's not her', 'I would have done that, but no.' Excuse me,
I don't remember the first name. Kandji.
- Yes that's it. We will let you speak
also Kandji. Ask him questions. You are not a man.
- No. Always not. The first time
that we really saw each other, we got to know each other,
you were very little, in a bad condition,
that's the case to say. You didn't have your pretty smile, you had broken teeth at least one,
It's certain. That's it. Hello Alain. Good morning.
- It's Kandji. I brought you over today it's because,
first of all it reassures me to know that you recognized me at least, a minimum with my beautiful teeth. If I invited you, it was to thank you
of what you had done for me the day of this tragedy. The day of this fall
of a four-story building, when I was six, seven years old. I never had the chance
to thank you, given
that when I was able to leave my house, after all my care, after all these after-effects,
after my fractures are healed. I came to knock on your house
to pick up your daughter. I had never been aware
the seriousness of the accident and that's why
I want to do it in front of everyone and thank you. Thank you for accompanying me until the end, thank you for making sure
may your voice be a guide for me so as not to fall asleep
in the ambulance. Quite simply, thank you. I have so much to tell you,
but there at the moment T, I'm missing words
and I wrote you a letter that with pleasure,
I will return to you later. I thank you, but hey,
it's normal ! Besides, I wasn't in the ambulance
during your entire transport, since I wasn't on duty,
and I happened to be passing by at that time. Oh !
- Oh! Even luckier! I was passing by,
I had arrived not far from home and young people from the neighborhood,
They stopped me in a bit of a panic: 'Sir, there is a young girl
who fell.' There is a thing
that she hasn't told you yet, is that you also have
inspires his vocation a little. Ah good ?
- Quite. So it's people like you
who inspired me to do the job that I practice today. At present,
I am a nurse anesthetist and without counting on your daughter
who often told me: 'My father is a firefighter,
my father saves lives', a new story every day. 'My father, today,
did this, that.' This is the reason why,
having also visited hospitals during my hospitalization,
I had the opportunity to observe, observe the work of the nurses,
caregivers and all the staff, This is what led me to want
begin medical studies. Well done, I'm happy for you.
- THANKS. You are moved Alain
by Kandji's approach this evening? Besides, I thought of her second.
- As a second idea. Yes yes. My daughter Lila,
I'll call him later. She said to me: 'I'll be welcome,
You're going to tell me who it is.' She wanted to know everything
when the show airs. You just had to come. In his defense, she came back to me
on social networks, she sent me a message: 'Was it you who invited
my father in this show?', and I told him no. Don't beat him too hard. Alain, please stand up
as tradition dictates, here, facing this curtain. On the other side,
there is Kandji who is finally coming, she said, because it's been 20 years
that she would like to thank you, tell you how good you have,
even if you are not aware of it, counted in his life. She wants to say thank you, put you in the spotlight
and through you, also all the firefighters, all the people who save lives. Do you open this curtain? There, absolutely, yes. Let's go then. She got me good.
- She didn't know that. I told him it wasn't me
who you invited. I understood that.
- I promise. Thank you so much and thank you very much
to all former students too, from my class who sent me
drawings in the hospital, pictures,
who came to visit me. School teachers too
who had come to my home. It feels like the Caesars.
- Yes. Hello to everybody.
- Hi Alain and thank you. These flowers are for you. Kandji.
- THANKS. Stay as you are.
- Thank you so much. It's over there. Like always, we return to a story
that we treated. There we will come back
on a very recent history. Which we loved. Do you remember this boy
whose name was Mathieu, who was angry
for many years with his mother. They had a restaurant
in the east of France and everything went to hell. The son did not behave well,
the mother was angry, etc. We brought all these little people together
on the tray and the surprise, a nice sequence,
look at the summary. How’s Mathieu doing?
- Very stressed. I met you earlier, we say everything. You were in absolute stress.
- Total, total, total, total. Is this an important moment? I think it might be
the right place, the right time, and I'm counting on you
to help me a little. We can help, but it's up to you
to do the heavy lifting about this person
that you invited this evening. It is…
- It's my mother. Your mother Sylviane. Who you no longer talk to.
- For eight years. Seven, eight years
that we have completely cut ties. Eight years without speaking to him
and she, without making any effort either. Without effort either,
we met four times at church, for two marriages
and two funerals. Don't we even kiss each other? Not a glance
neither a hello nor a goodbye. Yes, it's really very tense. Yet you worked
with your mother, It’s in the restaurant business. That is the problem, we thought it was a good idea
to open a restaurant for two and we crashed.
- A catamaran. It was a disaster! For what ? I had my youthful ideas,
she had her ideas a little older. I was in mode: you have to make turnover,
start the restaurant, go there and it's a little more different. We had another vision
and reproaches, work as a family,
It is not possible. Brothers and sisters?
- That's also the subject. We are three boys
and the little sister, none of the three boys
don't talk to the mother for as many years as me. The mother,
none of the boys talk to him. It moved me
because a few weeks ago, she sent a message
to the big brother saying: 'I'm getting old'
and I realized a little than a mother,
we only have one yes, time passes. Did she only send this message to him? He had a birthday and she told him
what she thought of us. I read it,
he sent me a screenshot and it touched me. What did he answer?
- I don't think he answered, no. At this point,
Do you hate your mother? No.
- We ask innocent questions. It seems incredible, it's rare to have a conflict at this point
with his mother that he doesn't even respond to his text message.
- It is complicated. Do you miss this mom? I live my life without her.
Now I have my restaurant, I have my things nearby,
I've been living my little life for eight years, but I don't want to
to move forward like this for a long time. We don't know what life is made of
nor tomorrow. I just want to…
- Pacify. About twenty years ago, I was a little boy
and my mom watched your show and sometimes,
I sat next to her on the couch and I saw her crying. I say: 'Why are you crying?' 'It's sad, look, listen',
but I was still too young. Few months ago,
I watched the replays on the networks and I started to cry
seeing the replays, It moved me. When I saw the castings, etc. I said to myself :
'Maybe this is the right time', 'The right place
and the memories will come back We'll have to talk to him like a son. It's going to be very hard. Not like a man
or the former partner or the confusion, etc. You have to talk to him from the gut
and with the heart. Ah, it's going to be hard. For what ? It's so hard to talk to your mother.
- Yes. This is what you came for. Yes, at some point you have to. We will help you,
but it's up to you to do most of the work. Good luck ! Shall we kiss?
- My pleasure. I'm doing well ?
Let me introduce you to Laurent. Sit down Sylviane. How are you ?
- She's crying, why? All the people clapping.
- It makes you cry. Sit down,
You made him cry! We are from the same year,
so, it's OK. You are young ! We are young! It seems you were watching the show
at the time. You have to cry. You've seen them again for two years,
three years ? I saw replays.
- There, the tears. You cry all the time. Not much time,
I am tired in the evening. You work ? Yes, I am an assistant to little grannies
from 90 to 96 years old. A good job ? Hard job?
- My loving little grannies. It is necessary. Do you have any idea who the person is,
woman man ? In our show,
we can have declarations of love, thanks, reconquests. I don't know.
- No idea ? Reconquests, no,
I have the love of my life, I don't need reconquest. I found the man
the cream of the creams. Do you want a clue? Yes.
- Look. Sylviane, do you think
that love is cooked every day? It can be cooked, rather maintained. The parallels between love
and cooking. I love to cook.
- We pay attention to the ingredients. My husband too. Your husband maybe
to make a declaration of love? No no.
- It could. He's too discreet. Do you want to know
who is on the other side? Yes. Do we make his face appear?
- Yes. In management please! I knew, I knew. Did you suspect that?
- Yes I knew. I knew
that it was one of three boys, he's one of my sons,
it's Mathieu, that I pampered,
loved, he knows it. I opened his restaurant for him. He let me down. I continued the restaurant for
three years, in the oven and in the mill. I started at eight o'clock
until 11 p.m. alone, preparing meals, washing dishes, clean the restaurant, prepare again for the evening,
groceries. The only day I was available,
since I was open six days a week. I opened this restaurant
because he insisted so much: 'Mom, you can, you are brave,
Come on mom, open the restaurant for me. Mom, she had money,
so she paid him shares to open the restaurant for two. He knows what's on my heart,
he knows he hurt me so much. Yes, you hurt me so much when you said:
'Go back to the cave, old lady', These are the words you used. My husband is here,
he knows that I suffered from it, suffered, suffered,
but not only you, Nicolas, I don't even know why
he doesn't come to see me anymore. Christophe is the same, I do not know why
he no longer responds to my text messages. I wished him happy birthday, I told him that I had been
a very good mother for Boukat, I still have a daughter, there is a good relationship with my daughter. Are you touched by this approach?
of Matthew? Yes, of course I am touched. Do you want to hear
what does he have to say to you? Yes, I would like to. Matthew. It’s yours, my friend Mathieu. I said it was going to be hard. Mom, thank you for coming. Today I took this step
in this show because when I was a little boy, we watched the show together
and I saw you crying. It already touched me a lot and I said to myself
that maybe it's that way that we can turn the page because we hurt each other
both. I did a lot to you,
I think at some point, yes, I know it, I accept it yes,
you too have hurt me, you don't realize it,
but yes. Today, my approach,
she is sincere. Restaurant,
I just want to turn the page, tear it out, burn it, don't talk about it anymore,
because we don't go all our lives, talk about the restaurant again,
hassles, hassles, headaches, etc. We have to tear it all apart,
go forward. You were saying
before the message that you sent to Christophe,
I had a click when you told me you're getting old. Yes. I wanted to see you again. I miss that we no longer write to each other, when I was in the South,
we called each other almost every day, almost every day,
sometimes an hour, two hours. You have been there for me,
for us. I don't know any more words and I want us to turn the page. What do you think ? We can't turn the page, we cannot forget,
we can forgive. Forgiving is something else. Me, in life, you know
that I only have one word that exists for me, it's 'respect'. For me, respect,
It’s the word that sums it all up. When there is more respect,
there is nothing left, whether it's in a couple, whether in children
towards the parents. You know very well
that you disrespected me. If we stay on that,
we will never move forward. It's still been almost eight years
that I think about it too. You know I was a very good mother, that I did everything for all four of us. I stopped working
to elevate you, to be by your side, I did everything. In Aix all alone,
you cried every night, I was there, you slept next to me
when you had heartache, it's not true ?
How many nights have you come next to me when you cried
because a friend left you, or vice versa?
I do not even know anymore. You know. You know it from Diane, how many nights
near me to cry and how old were you? You read the message I sent
to your older brother, I weighed every word. The proof, it worked.
- Not for him. He's a big boy.
- For Nicolas either. Nicolas is going to be a dad, I would have thought
to Nicolas who perhaps has this trigger because he's going to be a dad,
but I was thinking of all three. As I ask you the question, look me in the eyes,
you know what you are going to do there or are you hesitant? I do not hesitate. Do you know what you're going to do?
- Yes. Sylviane, if you have already taken
your decision and you know the principle,
please stand up facing the curtain. On the other side of this curtain, there is Mathieu, your son,
who invited you to reconcile
and to tell you: 'Mom, it's stupid
to let even more time pass.' 'Let's make a clean slate of the past,
you call that forgiving.' 'Let's look to the future.' You can leave this curtain closed
or decide to open it. What do you decide? I decide to open it
because you shouldn't give. Go ahead, it's open. It's a united family, I ask you to welcome
Mathieu and Sylviane are with us. What a beauty ! How are you Sylviane?
- Yes. Hi Matthew.
- Hi. It's okay, you both look beautiful.
- THANKS. The mother and the son. We just watched a sequence
which happened a few months ago. Yes.
- It's still crying. Yes.
- Yes. Yes, with your accent,
I love the Eastern accent. There is a big weight that has fallen
and I had contact with my son, the last, Nicolas. He had a little girl, so I became a grandmother
the same day I became a mother. I congratulated him and he replied,
it was a miracle. Mathieu, you appeared on the show and I believe that the next day
or the same evening, you sent a short video
family reunions. Yes, three days later. Amazing !
She must come to Alsace, she said to me: 'I'm coming', I say: 'Come and see
and eat at my restaurant'. She came,
we made a video and I made the surprise
to bring back the big brother. You can even watch the video, look. Hello to 'Only the truth that counts'. I'm in my restaurant and today,
I had a visit from my mother. At the same time,
I managed to bring back another big brother and the little sister. The family is almost entirely reunited. There you were again
in the euphoria of reunion. Totally that,
it was just an incredible experience. I invite all those
who have family difficulties or else to take the step,
send a short email to your teams, they are there,
take care of us, call us,
incredibly kind. When we saw them again,
they were incredible. - We hugged each other
and congratulated us. You have changed, we see that you no longer have this weight
on the shoulders. Eight years is a long time and above all
I didn't have my three boys. I had the eldest come to my house. Nicolas who contacted me again. Mathieu, I told him:
'You're coming for the end of year celebrations', he said to me: 'I don't have time,
the restaurant and he came anyway.' On the evening of the broadcast,
Pascal and I watched, we don't do it every Thursday, but when it's stories
that we like, we look at the reactions. There are hashtags of
'Only the truth matters' which appear there,
It’s very good. There were lots of people
who still wrote that this mother still took a beating, sorry for this term. In particular this terrible sentence that people have used against you, when you told your mother:
'Go back to your cave, old lady.' This sentence shocked people
who reacted by saying: 'He's still not cool
With his mother'. There was a press article that I saw,
I was shocked for 30 minutes. Yes, but it's a lot.
- Afterwards, it passed me by. Now we are here,
the press, the comments. Which is great,
it is that you have reconciled, but it snowballed
with your other boys. I have a generation
a little older, so Instagram,
WhatsApp, all that, I don't really know. TikTok, all that, I don't know. When he shows me and says: 'Mom,
Did you see how many views there were?' I say: 'Listen,
I just read on Facebook', 'This mother no longer sees
her three boys', 'She's an unworthy mother.' I said no,
I don't read crap like that', It’s mean, it’s petty. Afterwards I read beautiful messages,
Congratulations to the mother. For an unkind message, Fortunately there are 50 wonderful ones. We are not actors,
there were people who said: 'What are these actors?
We've never seen them. No, there is no actor
in this show, only real stories. What is important today, it's the first time we come back
on such recent history, also fresh because it also allows
to show in the short term that the broadcast,
there is a sequel behind, there is real life behind it. It's not just a curtain
which opens or which remains closed. There was no argument
since a few months ? No, but the evil was very deep,
we managed to talk to each other about the right things, but not the bad things. Now we look ahead.
- You have an exceptional mother. Seriously, I'm not saying that
to flatter you madam, Look at the memory she has! She is not single,
But me, yes ! I found a nice guy,
so you have to believe it, we must believe
to reconciliation too and I say to all the mothers
to keep hope. If you have lost contact
with your children, We need to believe,
but we must also forgive. You said two things,
the most important, forgiveness of course,
but respect. The respect,
that's what I didn't understand. A month ago,
he said to me: 'Hello old lady', I say: 'What did you say?' I can't hear that,
because it is a lack of respect. You don't tell your parents,
the old woman or the old man. No, that is not said. 'I'm taking care of little granny.' You don't remake us
a shouting match there, we won't see you a third time. Mathieu, no wife?
- No. You hope to pass tonight
on set by making a call. I received quite a few messages on Facebook
and Instagram. Two girls contacted me, one asked me
if my love life is this chaotic than my family life. This is not good advertising.
- No, I'm doing an official advertisement again. Mathieu, you too,
you are a little transfigured, you are changed. We have the impression that you too,
there is a weight that has really disappeared. That's it and I feel a little proud too
to have reconciled the whole family. To respond to the magazine who teased me a little, I respond today officially
I apologize mom. THANKS. You'll make her cry again. I wanted to tell you that mom,
i love you. You make a wonderful family,
you have a wonderful mother and you, a wonderful boy, single, but who will find
certainly in a while. Sylviane, we kiss you. Thank you so much. See you soon.
Be happy together. Don't forget a photo. Come on, we'll all take it together. Thanks to you two. I have good news and bad news,
what do we begin with ? The maid. See you in a week,
same channel, same time. Who knows the meeting? The bad news is that for tonight,
It's over. We still have to find Rebecca
in his dressing room. Rebecca and Sam.
