:57:01
The news tells of war
spreading throughout your Italy.
:57:06
That is what compels me to write you.
:57:08
You must be happy in the revolution
you so longed for,
:57:12
but the tales ofbattle
fill me with worry.
:57:15
I implore you to write.
At least tell me you're alive.
:57:22
It was a year...
:57:24
before the cholera disappeared
as it had come.
:57:28
It reached Paris, and we feared
it might spread over all of France.
:57:36
Last summer I went back to Aix.
:57:39
Everything looks the same.
:57:41
Yet nothing is.
:57:43
The plague ravaged this city
more than elsewhere.
:57:47
It's impossible to forget. Seeing
the carefree people, one wonders...
:57:51
where they were, who they lost.
:58:02
Where did you live in Aix?
You never told me.
:58:06
You say so little.
:58:08
You talked about a place
near the Bishop's Palace.
:58:12
This might sound strange,
but I think I found the house.
:58:29
For a long time,
Pauline's letter went unanswered.
:58:33
She'd given up hope,
when, the following year,
:58:37
a letter arrived from Italy.
