My brother's room is off the living room...
:21:02
...but it's not fit for use.
We use it for storage.

:21:06
You'll be more comfortable in my father's.
:21:10
I like it here, I don't want to leave.
:21:13
I know I'll have to someday.
:21:16
But there are things I'll never get rid of.
:21:20
Look at this. It's empty now...
:21:22
...but it's one of the first gifts
I ever received.

:21:27
-ls that you?
-No.

:21:28
It's antique. Is it your mother?
:21:31
No.
:21:32
Your grandmother?
:21:34
No.
:21:36
It's my grandfather!
:21:39
That's my grandfather, too,
when he's older.

:21:46
This is my grandmother.
:21:53
What does your father do, exactly?
:21:55
Exactly?
:21:57
It's a bit wordy: he's a rapporteur...
:21:59
...for a commission that allocates grants
to young artists.

:22:03
Is it interesting?
:22:04
Yes and no.
:22:06
The work is too administrative
for his taste.

:22:12
I don't think he's made to be a bureaucrat.
:22:16
His dream was to be an art critic.
:22:19
But the two aren't incompatible, right?
:22:22
Right.
:22:23
He says he's writing a book...
:22:26
...but he constantly changes the focus,
and it never amounts to anything.

:22:30
In my opinion,
women have been a bad influence on him.

:22:33
Women?
:22:36
First, his wife.
:22:38
My mother.
:22:40
She wasn't interested in art?
:22:42
On the contrary.
:22:44
But in her own way.
:22:46
She'd have liked him to be an artist...
:22:48
...a creator, which he isn't.
:22:51
He is too critical with himself
and admires others too much.

:22:56
Does he paint?
:22:58
Not at all.
