1
00:00:37,203 --> 00:00:38,912
These too.

2
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,047
Do you have some change?

3
00:00:48,214 --> 00:00:49,840
Not much.

4
00:01:33,441 --> 00:01:39,841
This film is inspired by the testimonies of survivors of the tragedy that took place Dec. 6, 1989,
at L'Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal. Out of respect for victims and their families, all characters are fictitious.

5
00:03:07,312 --> 00:03:08,854
- ?ye.
- ?ye.

6
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,911
Forgive the mistakes.
I had 15 minutes to write this.

7
00:05:31,414 --> 00:05:33,540
Would you note
that if I commit suicide today

8
00:05:33,708 --> 00:05:36,001
it is not for economic reasons,

9
00:05:36,169 --> 00:05:38,670
for I have waited until I exhausted
all my financial means,

10
00:05:38,838 --> 00:05:40,589
even refusing jobs,

11
00:05:40,757 --> 00:05:43,759
but for political reasons.

12
00:05:43,926 --> 00:05:46,803
Because I have decided
to send the feminists,

13
00:05:46,971 --> 00:05:49,598
who have always ruined my life,
to their Maker.

14
00:05:50,641 --> 00:05:53,477
For 7 years
life has brought me no joy,

15
00:05:53,644 --> 00:05:55,020
and being totally blasé,

16
00:05:55,188 --> 00:05:58,273
I have decided to put an end
to those viragos.

17
00:06:00,943 --> 00:06:04,988
I tried in my youth to enter
the Forces as an officer cadet,

18
00:06:06,074 --> 00:06:09,493
which would have allowed me
possibly to get into the arsenal

19
00:06:09,660 --> 00:06:12,621
and precede Lortie in a raid.

20
00:06:13,623 --> 00:06:16,833
They refused me because...
antisocial.

21
00:06:18,836 --> 00:06:22,089
I therefore had to wait until this day
to execute my plans.

22
00:06:23,674 --> 00:06:25,884
In the meantime, I continued
my studies in a haphazard way

23
00:06:26,052 --> 00:06:29,429
for they never really interested me,
knowing in advance my fate.

24
00:06:29,889 --> 00:06:31,932
Which did not prevent me
from obtaining very good marks

25
00:06:32,100 --> 00:06:34,851
despite my policy
of not handing in work

26
00:06:35,019 --> 00:06:38,021
and the lack of studying
before exams.

27
00:06:45,780 --> 00:06:49,116
Even though the media
will label me a "mad killer",

28
00:06:50,535 --> 00:06:53,120
I consider myself
a rational individual

29
00:06:53,287 --> 00:06:55,122
who has been pushed
to take extreme measures

30
00:06:55,289 --> 00:06:57,165
only by the arrival
of the Grim Reaper.

31
00:07:00,044 --> 00:07:03,839
For why persevere to exist
just to please the government?

32
00:07:05,550 --> 00:07:07,426
Being a backwards-looking
thinker by nature,

33
00:07:07,593 --> 00:07:09,428
except for when it
comes to science,

34
00:07:10,888 --> 00:07:13,223
I have always been enraged
by feminists.

35
00:07:14,517 --> 00:07:16,601
They cling to women's benefits,

36
00:07:16,769 --> 00:07:18,770
like cheap insurance,

37
00:07:18,938 --> 00:07:23,817
maternity leave,
preventative leave,

38
00:07:23,985 --> 00:07:26,027
while seizing for themselves
those of men.

39
00:07:27,238 --> 00:07:29,906
Thus it is an obvious truth
that if the Olympic Games

40
00:07:30,074 --> 00:07:32,367
removed the men-women
distinction,

41
00:07:32,535 --> 00:07:35,662
there would be women only
in the graceful events.

42
00:07:35,830 --> 00:07:39,416
So the feminists are not fighting
to remove that barrier.

43
00:07:40,585 --> 00:07:43,253
They are so opportunistic
that they never fail to profit

44
00:07:43,421 --> 00:07:46,840
from the knowledge accumulated
by men through the ages.

45
00:07:47,550 --> 00:07:50,927
They always try to misrepresent them
every time they can.

46
00:07:52,346 --> 00:07:53,638
Thus, the other day,

47
00:07:53,806 --> 00:07:56,141
I heard they were honouring
the Canadian men and women

48
00:07:56,309 --> 00:07:58,602
who fought at the frontlines
during the world wars.

49
00:07:59,270 --> 00:08:00,479
How can that be

50
00:08:00,646 --> 00:08:03,523
when women were not authorized
to go to the frontlines?

51
00:08:04,192 --> 00:08:07,194
Will we hear of Caesar's female
legions and female galley slaves

52
00:08:07,361 --> 00:08:10,489
who of course took up
50% of the ranks of history,

53
00:08:10,656 --> 00:08:12,699
though they never existed?

54
00:08:13,409 --> 00:08:15,368
A real casus belli.

55
00:08:16,078 --> 00:08:18,622
Sorry for this too brief letter.

56
00:08:35,848 --> 00:08:37,390
- Val?
- Hmm?

57
00:08:37,850 --> 00:08:39,559
An adiabatic transformation.

58
00:08:39,727 --> 00:08:42,479
Is it isentropic when it's reversible
or irreversible?

59
00:08:42,647 --> 00:08:43,730
Reversible.

60
00:08:47,276 --> 00:08:49,694
I can't even remember
the basic concepts.

61
00:08:49,862 --> 00:08:51,863
In one ear out the other.

62
00:08:52,031 --> 00:08:53,865
Just think of an elastic.

63
00:08:54,575 --> 00:08:58,203
The entropy remains constant,
therefore it's reversible,

64
00:08:59,830 --> 00:09:01,289
like a rubber band.

65
00:10:33,466 --> 00:10:35,008
That's nice.

66
00:10:35,176 --> 00:10:37,260
You want the job, you'll get it.

67
00:11:13,172 --> 00:11:15,382
Ah, I haven't been able
to read Sylvain

68
00:11:15,549 --> 00:11:17,717
and I can't finish
my structure lab.

69
00:12:30,875 --> 00:12:32,250
Hey, J-F.

70
00:12:32,835 --> 00:12:34,544
It's a bit early
for a striptease, isn't it?

71
00:12:34,712 --> 00:12:36,838
Are you finished?
- No.

72
00:12:37,006 --> 00:12:38,256
You still comin' to the party?

73
00:12:38,424 --> 00:12:39,966
I don't know.

74
00:13:00,112 --> 00:13:02,614
I'll be studying in the "caf'.
Let me know how it went, O??

75
00:13:02,782 --> 00:13:03,990
O?.
Thanks.

76
00:13:04,158 --> 00:13:05,825
Good luck!

77
00:14:04,260 --> 00:14:07,345
Mom,
Sorry, it was inevitable

78
00:14:30,870 --> 00:14:32,453
Hey, buddy!

79
00:14:33,998 --> 00:14:35,373
Hey.

80
00:14:51,515 --> 00:14:52,557
Fuck!

81
00:14:54,977 --> 00:14:57,312
My assignment.
Shit!

82
00:15:18,208 --> 00:15:19,375
Valérie Dompierre?

83
00:15:30,220 --> 00:15:32,221
Interview Room

84
00:15:34,308 --> 00:15:35,850
Valérie Dompierre.

85
00:15:37,436 --> 00:15:38,436
Maurice Martineau.

86
00:15:38,604 --> 00:15:39,604
Hi.

87
00:15:46,820 --> 00:15:48,696
So you're here for the mechanical
engineering internship?

88
00:15:48,864 --> 00:15:50,239
Yes.

89
00:15:55,537 --> 00:15:56,913
That's unusual.

90
00:15:57,665 --> 00:15:59,040
What do you mean?

91
00:15:59,833 --> 00:16:01,417
You in mechanical engineering?

92
00:16:02,002 --> 00:16:04,671
Women usually go
for civil engineering. It's easier.

93
00:16:04,838 --> 00:16:06,839
It's a real passion for me.

94
00:16:07,007 --> 00:16:09,342
It's always been my dream
to work in aeronautics.

95
00:16:09,593 --> 00:16:11,928
I meant, uh, easier for
raising a family.

96
00:16:12,638 --> 00:16:15,723
We're looking for candidates
who won't quit...

97
00:19:34,631 --> 00:19:36,799
- And?
- And what?

98
00:19:36,967 --> 00:19:38,050
And what you say?

99
00:19:38,218 --> 00:19:39,927
Nothing.
What could I say?

100
00:19:40,095 --> 00:19:41,262
I don't know, Val.

101
00:19:41,430 --> 00:19:43,306
That--that your career comes first.

102
00:19:43,473 --> 00:19:45,641
That you don't want kids.
Anything.

103
00:19:47,519 --> 00:19:49,353
So, did you get the job or not?

104
00:19:49,521 --> 00:19:51,397
It's not even a job.
It's an internship.

105
00:19:51,565 --> 00:19:53,649
Job, internship.
It's the same thing.

106
00:19:55,194 --> 00:19:56,777
Anyway, yeah, I got it.

107
00:19:59,156 --> 00:20:01,782
You got a job!
Do you realize what this means?

108
00:20:03,577 --> 00:20:05,036
You don't seem very happy.

109
00:20:05,204 --> 00:20:06,996
No, I am happy.

110
00:20:07,706 --> 00:20:08,956
But what?

111
00:20:10,417 --> 00:20:12,710
But I know that if I told him
that I wanted kids,

112
00:20:12,878 --> 00:20:14,337
I wouldn't have gotten it.

113
00:20:14,504 --> 00:20:17,381
It's like he was telling me
my education was just for fun.

114
00:20:18,550 --> 00:20:20,009
He was so condescending.

115
00:20:26,975 --> 00:20:28,726
Hey, cheer up.

116
00:20:30,062 --> 00:20:32,563
You shouldn't let
that guy get to you.

117
00:20:32,731 --> 00:20:35,650
You know, you work super hard.
Your grades are amazing.

118
00:20:35,817 --> 00:20:37,109
Screw that guy!

119
00:20:38,987 --> 00:20:40,488
Yeah, screw him.
Right.

120
00:21:49,224 --> 00:21:51,142
- Hi, girls.
- Hi.

121
00:21:51,310 --> 00:21:52,768
Can you help me?

122
00:21:52,936 --> 00:21:54,353
I can't do this.

123
00:21:54,521 --> 00:21:56,105
Can you lend me
your notes, please?

124
00:21:56,982 --> 00:21:57,982
Yeah, sure.

125
00:21:58,150 --> 00:21:59,734
- Thank you.
- Class is in 1 5 minutes.

126
00:21:59,901 --> 00:22:01,277
See you there.

127
00:22:26,386 --> 00:22:28,262
Is it gonna be long?

128
00:22:30,557 --> 00:22:31,807
No.

129
00:22:34,061 --> 00:22:35,686
Go ahead.

130
00:26:47,939 --> 00:26:48,939
Next.

131
00:27:32,984 --> 00:27:34,109
Can I help you?

132
00:29:13,585 --> 00:29:14,918
We could define entropy

133
00:29:15,086 --> 00:29:17,921
as a measurement of
the disorder in a system.

134
00:29:18,757 --> 00:29:20,466
Any system that is subject
to pressure

135
00:29:20,633 --> 00:29:21,717
from its external environment

136
00:29:21,885 --> 00:29:25,137
will undergo a conversion
that results in imbalance

137
00:29:25,305 --> 00:29:26,930
and a transfer of energy.

138
00:29:27,265 --> 00:29:30,350
For example,
water in a pot on the stove

139
00:29:30,518 --> 00:29:33,395
starts to move
and change into steam.

140
00:29:33,563 --> 00:29:35,898
If we put a lid on the pot,

141
00:29:36,065 --> 00:29:38,609
the steam lifts the lid,
which falls back down

142
00:29:38,777 --> 00:29:40,110
only to be lifted
again and again

143
00:29:40,278 --> 00:29:42,529
until there is no more heat
or no more water.

144
00:29:45,241 --> 00:29:47,117
At the microscopic level,
this transfer of energy

145
00:29:47,285 --> 00:29:49,620
results in increasing
molecular agitation,

146
00:29:49,788 --> 00:29:51,079
which we call entropy.

147
00:29:51,706 --> 00:29:53,290
Sorry.

148
00:29:53,666 --> 00:29:58,253
Order cannot be restored until
maximum entropy is achieved.

149
00:29:58,421 --> 00:30:00,088
Did I miss anything?

150
00:30:00,256 --> 00:30:03,091
No, we just started.
Do you have my notes?

151
00:30:03,301 --> 00:30:04,259
Thanks.

152
00:30:04,427 --> 00:30:07,012
Are you finished?
- Almost.

153
00:30:07,180 --> 00:30:09,431
Quiet in the back, please.

154
00:31:00,817 --> 00:31:02,901
On a more metaphysical level,

155
00:31:03,069 --> 00:31:05,028
the universal law
of entropy also tells us

156
00:31:05,196 --> 00:31:07,990
that any isolated system,
left on its own,

157
00:31:08,157 --> 00:31:12,327
is inevitably destined
to irreversible degradation,

158
00:31:12,495 --> 00:31:14,663
to the point of self-destruction.
- Everybody stop.

159
00:31:14,831 --> 00:31:19,042
Uh, young man, please come back
when the class is over.

160
00:31:35,852 --> 00:31:36,977
Split up.

161
00:31:38,563 --> 00:31:41,064
Girls on the left,
guys on the right.

162
00:31:46,571 --> 00:31:48,113
I said split up!

163
00:32:06,382 --> 00:32:09,217
Guys right, girls left!

164
00:32:33,368 --> 00:32:35,619
O?, guys out.
Girls, stay here.

165
00:32:37,330 --> 00:32:38,580
I said move!

166
00:32:38,748 --> 00:32:40,374
Go on! Go on!
Outside, outside!

167
00:32:40,541 --> 00:32:41,792
Out! Out!

168
00:33:49,819 --> 00:33:51,611
Hey, hey!

169
00:34:01,039 --> 00:34:02,539
Some guy just took
all the girls hostage!

170
00:34:02,707 --> 00:34:04,374
You have to call the police!

171
00:34:04,751 --> 00:34:07,127
Some guy just took all the girls
hostage on the second floor!

172
00:34:07,295 --> 00:34:08,754
Call the police, hurry!
- Are you kidding?

173
00:34:08,921 --> 00:34:10,213
Hurry up!

174
00:35:47,562 --> 00:35:49,229
Go, go!

175
00:39:55,476 --> 00:39:56,976
It's gonna be OK.

176
00:40:07,530 --> 00:40:08,613
Sorry!

177
00:40:15,913 --> 00:40:16,996
Put pressure on it.

178
00:40:27,842 --> 00:40:29,634
I'll be right back.

179
00:42:56,407 --> 00:42:58,074
Thank you.

180
00:42:59,618 --> 00:43:01,035
An ambulance is on the way.

181
00:43:05,332 --> 00:43:06,666
Fuck.

182
00:43:10,170 --> 00:43:11,379
I'll be right back.

183
00:43:47,207 --> 00:43:49,000
Hey, J-F!
Want a beer?

184
00:46:36,293 --> 00:46:37,835
Oh, honey!

185
00:46:38,921 --> 00:46:40,171
What a nice surprise!

186
00:46:40,881 --> 00:46:42,507
Hi, Mom.

187
00:46:44,092 --> 00:46:46,511
You O??
- Yeah.

188
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:50,556
It's good to see you.

189
00:47:31,014 --> 00:47:33,266
I'm really happy that you came.

190
00:47:34,393 --> 00:47:36,435
You should visit more often.

191
00:47:38,689 --> 00:47:41,399
Your aunt Simone
was asking about you.

192
00:47:43,610 --> 00:47:45,027
How's she doing?

193
00:47:45,195 --> 00:47:46,404
Fine.

194
00:47:49,241 --> 00:47:51,158
So, it looks like
Claude and Martin

195
00:47:51,326 --> 00:47:53,369
are coming for dinner
on the 24th.

196
00:47:54,788 --> 00:47:57,248
You have plans for Christmas?

197
00:47:57,416 --> 00:47:59,083
Nothing yet.

198
00:47:59,668 --> 00:48:01,961
Exams were postponed
until mid-January.

199
00:48:03,213 --> 00:48:05,715
Your father is still having
his New Year's Eve party.

200
00:48:05,883 --> 00:48:07,383
Your brothers will be there.

201
00:48:09,136 --> 00:48:10,553
Are you going?

202
00:48:11,221 --> 00:48:12,763
I don't know.

203
00:48:12,931 --> 00:48:14,307
What are you gonna do?

204
00:48:14,474 --> 00:48:15,516
The usual.

205
00:48:15,934 --> 00:48:18,060
You can come if you like.

206
00:48:19,646 --> 00:48:21,022
It was good.

207
00:48:21,189 --> 00:48:22,732
I should get back.

208
00:48:23,358 --> 00:48:24,942
You're not staying for supper?

209
00:48:25,110 --> 00:48:26,652
- No, I can't.
- You're not sleeping here?

210
00:48:26,820 --> 00:48:27,987
I have to study.

211
00:48:33,660 --> 00:48:35,912
If you need anything,
you know I'm here.

212
00:48:36,830 --> 00:48:38,164
Thanks.

213
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:46,797
I worry about you.

214
00:48:48,258 --> 00:48:49,759
You always worry.

215
00:51:28,502 --> 00:51:29,752
Split up.

216
00:51:30,670 --> 00:51:33,297
Girls on the left,
guys on the right.

217
00:51:34,841 --> 00:51:36,425
I said split up!

218
00:51:41,348 --> 00:51:44,100
Guys right, girls left!

219
00:51:54,319 --> 00:51:57,154
O?, guys out.
Girls, stay here.

220
00:51:57,322 --> 00:51:58,239
I said move!

221
00:51:58,406 --> 00:52:00,241
Go on! Go on!
We'll settle this outside.

222
00:52:00,408 --> 00:52:01,325
Out! Out!

223
00:52:54,254 --> 00:52:55,754
Do you know why you're here?

224
00:52:57,048 --> 00:52:58,174
No.

225
00:53:03,930 --> 00:53:05,681
You're gonna be engineers.

226
00:53:06,558 --> 00:53:08,058
You're a bunch of feminists.

227
00:53:08,226 --> 00:53:09,852
I hate feminists.

228
00:53:12,606 --> 00:53:14,773
It's not true. We're not feminists.
We've never fought--

229
00:55:03,925 --> 00:55:10,889
I can't move.

230
00:55:16,396 --> 00:55:17,813
I'll get help.

231
00:56:34,391 --> 00:56:35,599
No!

232
00:57:18,935 --> 00:57:20,894
We have to play dead.

233
00:57:22,605 --> 00:57:24,565
He's coming back!

234
00:57:34,784 --> 00:57:36,702
Close your eyes.

235
00:59:05,917 --> 00:59:07,042
I'm so sorry, Val.

236
00:59:08,336 --> 00:59:09,753
I should have stayed.

237
00:59:14,300 --> 00:59:15,551
It's not your fault, Jeff.

238
00:59:19,013 --> 00:59:20,847
It's not your fault.

239
00:59:21,891 --> 00:59:24,184
It's not your fault, Jeff.

240
01:01:38,653 --> 01:01:40,195
Are you feeling sick?

241
01:01:40,363 --> 01:01:42,447
My tummy hurts.

242
01:01:46,869 --> 01:01:48,745
Having nightmares again?

243
01:04:05,258 --> 01:04:06,842
Hey, Dad?

244
01:04:07,009 --> 01:04:08,718
Yeah, how are you?

245
01:04:11,347 --> 01:04:13,223
Uh, as usual.

246
01:04:14,809 --> 01:04:16,268
Éric is doing great.

247
01:04:16,435 --> 01:04:18,311
Yeah well, he just got
a big promotion, so...

248
01:04:18,479 --> 01:04:19,813
Yeah, he's very happy.

249
01:04:21,607 --> 01:04:23,358
I'm doing great, yeah.

250
01:04:24,485 --> 01:04:26,486
And Mom, how is she?

251
01:04:29,574 --> 01:04:32,409
No. No, just to see
how you were doing.

252
01:04:35,872 --> 01:04:37,622
Uh...

253
01:04:39,083 --> 01:04:40,834
not until September at least.

254
01:04:46,340 --> 01:04:48,842
No, no. Dad?
Dad, I cannot hear you.

255
01:04:49,010 --> 01:04:50,343
Dad, it's breaking up.

256
01:04:50,511 --> 01:04:52,512
No. O?, I'll call you
this weekend anyway.

257
01:04:52,680 --> 01:04:54,848
O?, love you.
?ye!

258
01:05:41,228 --> 01:05:44,189
As I write this letter,
I know it will never be read.

259
01:05:45,816 --> 01:05:48,360
We don't know each other
but we are closely connected.

260
01:05:49,612 --> 01:05:52,405
I'm writing you because today,
for the second time in my life,

261
01:05:52,573 --> 01:05:54,324
I am afraid.

262
01:05:55,201 --> 01:05:57,911
The first time was when
I faced your son.

263
01:05:59,664 --> 01:06:00,872
Your son opened my eyes

264
01:06:01,040 --> 01:06:03,416
to how much hatred
can be in this world.

265
01:06:03,584 --> 01:06:05,418
And it scarred me for life.

266
01:06:07,797 --> 01:06:10,382
He's dead, I'm alive.

267
01:06:12,343 --> 01:06:15,095
He's free, I'm not.

268
01:08:09,001 --> 01:08:11,169
Everyone tells me
how strong I am.

269
01:08:12,797 --> 01:08:14,881
I've had enough of being strong.

270
01:08:16,759 --> 01:08:18,468
Sometimes I want to shout
from the roof tops

271
01:08:18,636 --> 01:08:20,929
how I've been hurt
and not just physically.

272
01:08:21,764 --> 01:08:25,100
I want to curl up in a ball
and hide.

273
01:08:29,605 --> 01:08:32,857
Everyday I think of Stéphanie
who died in my arms.

274
01:08:35,361 --> 01:08:38,571
I think of all my friends
who died and were hurt that day.

275
01:08:42,743 --> 01:08:46,913
I think of all women of all ages
who were hurt in their soul.

276
01:08:47,706 --> 01:08:50,291
All this thinking,
it weighs on me

277
01:08:50,459 --> 01:08:52,502
and I'm tired of carrying
that weight.

278
01:08:55,923 --> 01:08:58,591
Love has brought me a gift:

279
01:09:00,094 --> 01:09:02,554
a child grows inside me.

280
01:09:04,265 --> 01:09:07,016
I want with all my heart
for this child to be happy,

281
01:09:07,143 --> 01:09:08,351
but I'm afraid.

282
01:09:09,520 --> 01:09:11,312
And I'm tired of being afraid.

283
01:09:14,233 --> 01:09:17,360
I have to learn to have faith again,
and give life another chance...

284
01:09:18,445 --> 01:09:20,905
so I can stand on my own.

285
01:09:21,740 --> 01:09:23,283
And I will stand on my own.

286
01:09:28,956 --> 01:09:30,623
If I have a boy,

287
01:09:30,791 --> 01:09:32,542
I'll teach him how to love.

288
01:09:33,544 --> 01:09:36,212
If I have a girl,

289
01:09:36,380 --> 01:09:38,131
I'll tell her the world is hers.
