:08:00
And now a word
from our sponsors.

:08:02
As disgusting as ever!
:08:07
Number 13...
maybe it'll bring us luck.

:08:10
My grandmother
couldn't resist a uniform.

:08:14
She married a general in 1918,
:08:17
and his aide-de-camp
got her pregnant.

:08:19
A soldier's girl, would you say?
How could you not be one in 1918?

:08:23
The general simply did his duty.
:08:26
He replaced his aide-de-camp
and killed his wife.

:08:28
My grandmother
was shot in cold blood,

:08:32
in the dishonored bedroom.
:08:34
But that day in another room,
in Russia...

:08:37
the Czar and the Romanov
family were executed,

:08:40
my grandfather's crime
was almost unnoticed.

:08:42
They could use Sam
in the kitchen.

:08:45
Only 10 days to go.
At least we won't get fat.

:08:49
Did you know Sam?
:08:50
Just enough to take
his mug shot.

:08:53
He's a good guy.
We'll go see him when we get out.

:08:56
- What's he doing?
- Running a restaurant, I suppose.

:08:59
In a way, my mother
was the last victim of the camps.

:09:03
She was too weak
for childbirth.

:09:05
She died giving life to me.
Strange coincidence...

:09:09
My grandmother died
a year after World War I,

:09:12
my mother, a year
after World War II,

:09:14
and both because of a child.
:09:16
Since I never had a mother,
I never had a childhood.

:09:21
When I needed comforting,
I was given a pony.

:09:25
When I had the blues,
I got a singer for a lover.

:09:29
"In 1902, Méliès hit his peak.
:09:32
His successful film,
"The Trip to the Moon,"

:09:34
revolutionized filmmaking.
:09:37
This success definitely put an end
to amateur filmmaking

:09:40
and family-crafted films
with no sets or actors.

:09:43
The freak attraction
became popular,

:09:47
and the business of film distribution
generated big profits."

:09:50
"When all I wanted was
to be a little girl,

:09:52
my father treated me
like a mistress.

:09:55
I often hated the presents
intended for his wife.

:09:59
I hated the trips
that really were pilgrimages.
