00:01:03Part I
00:01:33Mr. Curie, it's time for your lecture.
00:01:36Oh, my God!
00:01:42See you in the evening.
00:01:44No? No.
00:02:04Should I take it?
00:02:07Yes.
00:02:25Mrs. Curie, I'll help you since I'm already here.
00:02:27I can't watch you carry such a heavy load.
00:02:35Thank you.
00:02:53Does it have to boil?
00:02:54Yes, it has to boil.
00:02:57What are you actually looking for in this earth, Mrs. Curie?
00:03:00I've already told you, Petit, I'm looking for a radioactive element.
00:03:04Do you understand?
00:03:06No.
00:03:08In order to find this unknown element,
00:03:10Maria dissolved, filtered, poured, cleaned, decontaminated, measured and removed the sediment from 4 tons of uranium.
00:03:20Her hands are damaged.
00:03:22She lost 7 kg of weight, but she doesn't give up.
00:03:25She will keep going for two more years.
00:03:28I have to admit that Maria Skłodowska-Curie is the most stubborn person in the world,
00:03:32and this since her youngest years.
00:03:35Warsaw, 1867.
00:03:38How can you be a Pole?
00:03:40For decades, the country has been divided between its neighbors, Russia, Austria and Prussia.
00:03:44When Maria Skłodowska comes to the world, Warsaw rises after a bloody uprising.
00:03:4918 million Poles live under the hard demands of Tsar Alexander II.
00:03:54Their resistance will be broken.
00:03:56In order to destroy the spirit of Polishness, Russian is introduced in schools, even in catechism classes.
00:04:02Maria's character was shaped in the atmosphere of constant rebellion and persecution.
00:04:08Today we will learn the history of Poland in French.
00:04:12Maria Skłodowska, tell us what you know about Stanisław August.
00:04:23Stanisław August Poniatowski was elected King of Poland in 1764.
00:04:31He was an intelligent man.
00:04:34Miss, hide the Polish books.
00:04:37To the closet, quickly.
00:04:38Take out your books.
00:04:40Go back to your seat.
00:04:42Hurry up.
00:04:54Sit down.
00:05:01The inspector would like to interview the student.
00:05:23Prayer.
00:05:30What is this supposed to be?
00:05:32Teaching catechism in Polish?
00:05:36The girl is confused, Mr. Inspector.
00:05:41They are making fun of you.
00:05:48Now you.
00:06:00How should I address you?
00:06:02Excellency.
00:06:04Who rules us?
00:06:05His Highness Alexander II, Tsar of all Russia.
00:06:10Good.
00:06:16I hate Russians.
00:06:18I hate Russians.
00:06:29Dad, Maria was asked at school.
00:06:35What's wrong?
00:06:36What happened?
00:06:38I lost my seat, my children.
00:06:41Teacher's seat?
00:06:43No.
00:06:44They didn't go that far.
00:06:46I'm talking about the deputy principal's seat.
00:06:49Why?
00:06:50Apparently, I lack zeal in exposing Polish patriots.
00:06:54You should be proud.
00:06:55They have honoured you.
00:06:56Do you understand?
00:06:57Dad, you can be proud of that.
00:06:59Wait, children.
00:07:00I haven't told you the worst yet.
00:07:02I'm losing half my pension.
00:07:04We'll have to move, because it's not a service apartment.
00:07:08Are you asleep?
00:07:09What are we going to do now, Mario?
00:07:12In three years, I'll get my diploma.
00:07:14You, two years later.
00:07:17And then what?
00:07:18Well, then we'll go to study at Sorbonne.
00:07:21Dad always said that.
00:07:24But how are we going to cope?
00:07:28I think I have an idea.
00:07:30You're smarter than me, so...
00:07:32You've always been smarter.
00:07:34It's true, but you're older, so you'll go first.
00:07:39But what am I going to live on, Mania?
00:07:41Don't worry.
00:07:42I'll send you money every month.
00:07:45Where will you get it from?
00:07:47I'll find a job as a teacher for my family.
00:07:50No expenses.
00:07:51A flat, an apartment and a mortgage.
00:07:53Thanks to that, I'll be able to send you everything I earn.
00:07:56I don't think you'll be depending on me for five years.
00:08:00Medical studies take a long time.
00:08:02Yes, but when you become a doctor,
00:08:04you'll be paying for my studies at Sorbonne.
00:08:08That's my plan, Mania.
00:08:10It's quite reasonable.
00:08:26Unbelievable, but this plan has been realized.
00:08:29Bronia studies medicine in Paris for the first year.
00:08:32When Maria finishes school,
00:08:34she takes up her first job as a governess.
00:08:41What languages do you speak?
00:08:43Polish, French, Russian, German, English, too.
00:08:49But not so well.
00:08:52We'll get to you.
00:08:55Mrs. Mario!
00:08:58If you don't stop shouting, I'll never make it.
00:09:04Did you call for me?
00:09:06Where have you been?
00:09:08You're never here when you need me.
00:09:11I forgot what I wanted to ask you about.
00:09:14Say it louder.
00:09:16Oh, yes.
00:09:17Do you know Spanish?
00:09:20Spanish? No.
00:09:22How do you know Spanish?
00:09:24I don't know Spanish.
00:09:26You don't know Spanish?
00:09:28I don't know Spanish.
00:09:31Spanish? No.
00:09:33What do you mean, no?
00:09:35I was told you knew all the languages.
00:09:37I don't.
00:09:39What are we going to do now?
00:09:41I'm counting on you.
00:09:43My husband invited a serious client from Brazil.
00:09:46Brazilians don't speak Spanish.
00:09:49You're talking nonsense to annoy me.
00:09:51You're unbearable.
00:09:53Really?
00:09:56You too.
00:09:59I understand, Mrs. Noskłodowska.
00:10:01But when you need a job, you can't be so unbearable.
00:10:05I'm not unbearable.
00:10:07I have something for you if you decide to leave.
00:10:11To the countryside, with very nice people.
00:10:14To the countryside? Where?
00:10:17200 km from Warsaw.
00:10:20200 km?
00:10:22I won't see my family.
00:10:24They pay me well.
00:10:26500 rubles. What do you say?
00:10:50Good morning.
00:10:52Good morning.
00:10:54Good morning.
00:10:56Did you have a good trip?
00:10:58We're far from Warsaw.
00:11:00Very far. I didn't expect that.
00:11:02What's your name?
00:11:04Maria. Maria Skłodowska.
00:11:06We'll call you Mrs. Maria.
00:11:09This is Mr. Andrzej.
00:11:12And this is Bronka.
00:11:14Good morning.
00:11:16It's late. We'll take you to your room.
00:11:19Janka.
00:11:22You'll start working tomorrow, okay?
00:11:26Good night.
00:11:28Good night.
00:11:51Are you the new governess?
00:11:53Yes.
00:11:58Good morning.
00:12:04Good morning, sir.
00:12:19Come in.
00:12:22I brought you a soap.
00:12:24Thank you.
00:12:30Your student will be Andrzej,
00:12:32but you'll teach me German.
00:12:35Is this your father?
00:12:37What does he do?
00:12:39I know I'm indiscreet,
00:12:41but I fell in love with you at first sight.
00:12:44Is she also a governess?
00:12:46No.
00:12:48She studies medicine.
00:12:50In Paris.
00:12:53It's sad to be so far from home.
00:12:55We'll try not to make you sad.
00:12:58Mom says you'll stay with us for four years, right?
00:13:01Yes, I'll stay until your brother goes to school.
00:13:05Poor Mrs. Maria.
00:13:07By then, I'll be married.
00:13:10Really?
00:13:12What for?
00:13:14What do you mean, what for?
00:13:16Bronka?
00:13:23How is she?
00:13:25I think she's a bit wild.
00:13:28Will we see each other on vacation?
00:13:30Yes.
00:13:32Try to find me a suitable fiancée among the local girls.
00:13:36Goodbye.
00:13:38Goodbye.
00:13:42She's to be beautiful and rich.
00:13:44She's to understand herself.
00:13:46Write to me.
00:13:48All right.
00:13:52Hiya!
00:14:03Yes, please.
00:14:22Do you want to dance this waltz with me?
00:14:24No.
00:14:26Let her dance.
00:14:53Who is this person?
00:14:55Nothing. Just a governess.
00:15:17Who's there?
00:15:19Is it me? Can I come in?
00:15:21You scared us.
00:15:23What's going on here?
00:15:25These are the children from the village.
00:15:27We teach them to write and count.
00:15:29In Polish.
00:15:31If someone gives us away, they'll send us to Siberia.
00:15:33Did you come up with this idea?
00:15:35No, it's not my idea.
00:15:37But your father allowed me to do it.
00:15:39Really?
00:15:41Mile surprised me.
00:15:43All right, kids, that's it for today.
00:15:45Tomorrow we'll be learning numbers.
00:15:47Quiet.
00:15:52Sometimes parents come just to see
00:15:54what their children are learning.
00:15:56Isn't that wonderful?
00:15:58I came to offer you a little walk around the village
00:16:01before it gets dark.
00:16:04I can't.
00:16:06I have a lot of work.
00:16:08Please go, Mrs. Nomary.
00:16:10My German can wait until tomorrow.
00:16:12I just had a headache.
00:16:15Before I met you,
00:16:17I was a bit thoughtless, a bit cynical.
00:16:19I decided to marry some stupid goose
00:16:21with beautiful eyes.
00:16:23I fell asleep as soon as she opened her mouth.
00:16:25But I thought that's what marriage is all about.
00:16:27If you loved her, you'd see reason in her.
00:16:29Young girls don't have reason, Mario.
00:16:31They're crammed with conventions.
00:16:33All they think about is coquetry
00:16:35and children's toys.
00:16:37Excuse me?
00:16:39I didn't say anything.
00:16:42I didn't say anything.
00:16:45Mario, please help me.
00:16:47I want to tell you that you're different from everyone else
00:16:52and that I love you.
00:16:57Mario.
00:17:02Mario, what's happening to us?
00:17:04It's madness.
00:17:06If someone saw us...
00:17:08That's what I want.
00:17:10I want everyone to see us.
00:17:12I want the whole world to see us.
00:17:14I want you to be my wife.
00:17:18I'll be proud of you.
00:17:22Please tell me you want it.
00:17:24Yes, I want it.
00:17:28You're not serious, are you, Casimir?
00:17:30Do you think I want to joke, Father?
00:17:32I think you're confused, boy.
00:17:34You're engaged.
00:17:36You're engaged, sir.
00:17:38Don't give us that worry, my boy.
00:17:40What worry?
00:17:42I love an exceptional girl.
00:17:44The only one.
00:17:46She's not like anyone else.
00:17:48She's from a good family.
00:17:50Her father is very proud of her.
00:17:52She agrees to marry me.
00:17:54You should be happy.
00:17:56What do you have to accuse her of?
00:17:58Tell me, Mother.
00:18:00But we have nothing to accuse her of.
00:18:02Maria is flawless.
00:18:04She's flawless,
00:18:06but she's not going to marry a governess.
00:18:08Am I making myself clear?
00:18:10Should I repeat it?
00:18:12She's not going to marry a governess.
00:18:14Period.
00:18:16Tomorrow, please, go back to Warsaw
00:18:18and don't show yourself here until you've regained your mind.
00:18:30Maria?
00:18:32Maria, listen to me.
00:18:38I will never give them up.
00:18:40Never.
00:18:42Why are you chasing poor girls
00:18:44when you know you can't marry them?
00:18:46You're unfair to me.
00:18:48Have I been treated fairly?
00:19:02Bravo!
00:19:04Bravo!
00:19:14Thank you.
00:19:32Thank you.
00:19:34Thank you.
00:20:00Are you looking for someone?
00:20:04Yes.
00:20:16You can tell them to write to us
00:20:18and we'll give you the best references.
00:20:24We'll never forget you, Mrs. Maria.
00:20:26Nor will we forget the children.
00:20:30What a pity you were a governess.
00:20:34Goodbye.
00:20:56Three years later,
00:20:58Maria is still working as a governess,
00:21:00but this time in Warsaw.
00:21:02Maria receives a wonderful message.
00:21:12I received a letter from Bronia.
00:21:14She gave it to me.
00:21:16She gave it to me.
00:21:18God bless her.
00:21:20Does that mean she's a doctor now?
00:21:22Yes, she did.
00:21:24Mrs. Dr. Skłodowska.
00:21:26When is she coming back?
00:21:28She's not coming back.
00:21:30With a Frenchman?
00:21:32No, with a Pole.
00:21:34She was forbidden to return to Poland.
00:21:36She's a doctor.
00:21:38She lives in Paris.
00:21:40In Paris.
00:21:42She writes that she's waiting for me.
00:22:00Can you tell me where Rue Delmane is?
00:22:02Rue Delmane?
00:22:04It's easy to get there.
00:22:06Get out of the station,
00:22:08turn left into Lafayette Street
00:22:10and then straight ahead.
00:22:12Excuse me, could you speak a little slower?
00:22:14I didn't quite understand.
00:22:16Get out of the station,
00:22:18turn left into Lafayette Street
00:22:20and then straight ahead.
00:22:22Is that better now?
00:22:24Yes.
00:22:26Thank you.
00:22:28Get out of the station,
00:22:30turn left into Lafayette Street
00:22:32and then straight ahead.
00:22:34Is that better now?
00:22:36Thank you.
00:22:58Excuse me.
00:23:00Thank you.
00:23:02Thank you.
00:23:28Manu, my love.
00:23:30You should have telegraphed.
00:23:32Telegram is too expensive.
00:23:34She's my younger sister.
00:23:36Are you coming from Warsaw?
00:23:38Is it true that the flying university
00:23:40has been closed
00:23:42or the young Karsuski has been taken to Siberia?
00:23:44My name is Wojciechowski.
00:23:46Good morning.
00:23:48Agnieszka, good morning.
00:23:50Paderewski.
00:23:52Ignacy is our genius.
00:23:54I'm your brother-in-law.
00:23:56Let me look at you, sister.
00:24:00The bullet went so close
00:24:02that my hat fell off.
00:24:04Sit down, pigeon.
00:24:16Vodka.
00:24:18That's all I could find.
00:24:20Father hid the key from the cellar.
00:24:22He had to guess something.
00:24:24Traitor.
00:24:26This is Jacques, our French friend.
00:24:28Does she speak French?
00:24:30You think we Poles are savages.
00:24:32Nice to meet you.
00:24:34May I?
00:24:36No.
00:24:38What are you doing?
00:24:40Look, everyone.
00:24:42Freedom liberating Poland.
00:24:44Will you pose for me?
00:24:46Friends, let's drink
00:24:48to our persecuted homeland.
00:24:54What's that?
00:24:56The police?
00:24:58Kazimierz is listed as an anarchist.
00:25:00Ignacy, play.
00:25:02Quickly.
00:25:04Hurry up.
00:25:14Dr. DÅ‚uski needs a doctor.
00:25:16But there are two
00:25:18Dr. DÅ‚uskis here.
00:25:20My wife is giving birth.
00:25:22Quickly.
00:25:24I'm coming.
00:25:26You'll sleep here tonight.
00:25:28We'll find you a room tomorrow.
00:25:30We don't mind drinking.
00:25:32Long live Poland.
00:25:54I can't go on.
00:25:56My legs are killing me.
00:25:58What's in your suitcase?
00:26:00Probably stones.
00:26:04Can you see Sorbonne from here?
00:26:08Yes, look.
00:26:10You can see the dome.
00:26:12Do you think it's open now?
00:26:14Yes, I'll go there.
00:26:24Skłodowska.
00:26:42Skłodowska?
00:26:44Is that a Russian name?
00:26:46No, it's Polish.
00:26:48I'm sorry.
00:26:50I didn't mean to offend you.
00:26:54We'll continue today
00:26:56the lecture on electrostatics
00:26:58which we started last week.
00:27:00Today we'll study
00:27:02the electric dipole
00:27:04which includes
00:27:06the positive charge
00:27:08and the negative charge.
00:27:10The lines of force
00:27:12of the electrostatic field
00:27:14do you understand,
00:27:16because I don't understand anything.
00:27:18I don't understand?
00:27:20I don't understand.
00:27:22I don't understand.
00:27:24I don't know what you mean.
00:27:26It's a matter of attention.
00:27:28You have to focus.
00:27:30I don't feel like concentrating
00:27:32on the various processes.
00:27:34I feel like dreaming.
00:27:36You never dream?
00:27:38Only about physics.
00:27:46Without eating,
00:27:48without sleeping,
00:27:50without leading
00:27:52any social life,
00:27:54Maria overcame the challenge.
00:27:56After two years,
00:27:58she received a degree
00:28:00in physics
00:28:02and was recognized
00:28:04as the best student.
00:28:06Now she's preparing
00:28:08to finish her math studies.
00:28:10If she succeeds,
00:28:12she'll be able
00:28:14to teach in Poland
00:28:16where her father is waiting
00:28:18Did you pour?
00:28:20I'm the second.
00:28:24Kazimierz,
00:28:26Maria passed.
00:28:28You have to write
00:28:30to your father right away.
00:28:32I already did.
00:28:36Quiet,
00:28:38stop making so much noise.
00:28:40I have a patient.
00:28:42I was the second.
00:28:44The second?
00:28:46It's a shame for the Skłodowskis family.
00:28:48No, it happened to me once.
00:28:50Yes?
00:28:52Probably at the cutting class.
00:28:54But how come I was always the first
00:28:56at the cutting class?
00:28:58In that case,
00:29:00put on some blouse
00:29:02because we're leaving on Sunday.
00:29:04You're finally full.
00:29:10Where are we going?
00:29:12To Professor Kowalski.
00:29:14He invited a few French friends.
00:29:18Good morning.
00:29:22My dear.
00:29:24Good morning, Professor.
00:29:26This is my younger sister, Maria.
00:29:28Good morning, Maria.
00:29:30Nice to meet you.
00:29:32May I?
00:29:34This is my younger sister, Maria.
00:29:36This is Mrs. Skłodowska.
00:29:38I'm sure you met their mother
00:29:40in Warsaw.
00:29:42My husband says
00:29:44my younger sister is even more capable
00:29:46than the older one.
00:29:48She received two diplomas
00:29:50in three years.
00:29:52But without a degree
00:29:54and at the age of 27
00:29:56she probably won't find a husband.
00:29:58Would you like some cake?
00:30:00Please.
00:30:02Mario will introduce you.
00:30:04This is Mr. Curie,
00:30:06an adjunct of the physics and chemistry
00:30:08research school.
00:30:10Mrs. Skłodowska
00:30:12started her research
00:30:14in Professor Lippman's laboratory.
00:30:16Very good.
00:30:18I'll leave you to it.
00:30:20So you work for Professor Lippman.
00:30:22Yes, I'm his student.
00:30:24What kind of research
00:30:26do you do?
00:30:28I study the properties
00:30:30of magnetic steel.
00:30:32At Lippman's?
00:30:34Yes, at the request of the Ministry of Industry.
00:30:36Mr. Lippman wishes me
00:30:38What is Maria going to do
00:30:40with her diplomas?
00:30:42She will return to Poland
00:30:44and learn.
00:30:46This is a patriotic duty.
00:30:48You know that Poles
00:30:50have no right to leave the country.
00:30:52If only we could come back.
00:30:54Thank you.
00:30:56Thank you.
00:31:02Maybe some cake?
00:31:04I would like to ask you
00:31:06for advice.
00:31:08With pleasure, dear professor.
00:31:10I am at your disposal.
00:31:12I feel best in France.
00:31:14Although people are very hospitable here.
00:31:16God, how late.
00:31:18I want to forgive you.
00:31:20Mario, we have to leave
00:31:22our friends.
00:31:24Yes?
00:31:26I took you only for myself.
00:31:28Please forgive me.
00:31:30Goodbye.
00:31:34I would like to meet you again.
00:31:36Me too.
00:31:38Goodbye.
00:31:42Mario, will Mr. Curie be able to help you?
00:31:44Yes, maybe.
00:31:46Thank you for the reception.
00:31:54It's me.
00:31:58Good morning, I'm done.
00:32:00Did you read the newspaper?
00:32:02No, not yet.
00:32:04Yesterday in Lyon
00:32:06a president was murdered.
00:32:08Anarchists?
00:32:10Apparently.
00:32:12Some Italian.
00:32:14They'd better take care of the tsar.
00:32:16Without a doubt.
00:32:18You can take it now.
00:32:20Be careful, it's hot.
00:32:22Help me, please.
00:32:24Couldn't we have
00:32:26two pairs of irons in the family?
00:32:28We could, but it's too much
00:32:30if we can do without them.
00:32:32Your logic is killing me.
00:32:34There's an envelope on the floor.
00:32:36Goodbye.
00:32:38Goodbye.
00:32:40I hope it's a love letter.
00:32:42For Mrs. Skłodowska
00:32:44with the words of respect
00:32:46and friendship
00:32:48from the author
00:32:50Piotr Curie.
00:33:08Please have a look
00:33:10at what I'm working on now.
00:33:12These are spatial structures
00:33:14like in atoms of regular crystals.
00:33:16In the case of this flower
00:33:18it's almost a flat structure.
00:33:22Importantly
00:33:24physical phenomena
00:33:26cannot occur in an environment
00:33:28devoid of irregularity.
00:33:30So the lack of regularity
00:33:32causes the occurrence of phenomena.
00:33:34Even minimal dissymmetry
00:33:36can occur in an object
00:33:38and nothing happens
00:33:40without a reason.
00:33:42Nothing happens without a reason.
00:33:44So piezoelectricity
00:33:46occurs only in crystals
00:33:48with the right structure.
00:33:52For example in quartz.
00:33:54Yes?
00:34:02Good morning, Marie.
00:34:04Good morning.
00:34:06I brought you flowers.
00:34:08Thank you.
00:34:10I also have Zola's last book
00:34:12and the text on mechanics
00:34:14I told you about.
00:34:16Thank you.
00:34:18Please come in.
00:34:26Can I put them on the table?
00:34:28Yes, please.
00:34:32You read in all languages
00:34:34German, English, Russian.
00:34:36I learned them at school.
00:34:40I never went to school.
00:34:42I was too distracted.
00:34:44My mind worked too slowly
00:34:46so my father gave me peace.
00:34:50So, when I was 14
00:34:52my father brought a teacher
00:34:54thanks to whom I discovered
00:34:56the beauty of mathematics.
00:34:58It was love at first sight.
00:35:00Do you believe in love
00:35:02at first sight?
00:35:06For mathematics, yes.
00:35:12And then?
00:35:14Then...
00:35:16nothing.
00:35:18I graduated, I got a diploma
00:35:20and everything.
00:35:22And you never wanted to finish
00:35:24higher studies,
00:35:26to get a degree?
00:35:28I don't really think
00:35:30it brings any honor.
00:35:34Do I disappoint you?
00:35:36No.
00:35:38You surprise me.
00:35:48I'm sorry.
00:35:50It doesn't matter.
00:35:52I'm so clumsy.
00:35:54Ah, it's little Mary.
00:35:56I think I'm indiscreet.
00:35:58No, no.
00:36:00It's me with my mother
00:36:02before her illness.
00:36:04And him?
00:36:06It's my brother, Józef.
00:36:08What does he do?
00:36:10He's a doctor, like Bronya.
00:36:12Is there a good university in Warsaw?
00:36:14Yes, but the girls don't have admission there.
00:36:16That's why we're here.
00:36:18And this is the Lady of the Holy Communion.
00:36:20Are you a believer?
00:36:22No.
00:36:24It's a shame.
00:36:28Oh, what a beautiful rider!
00:36:30It's also the past.
00:36:34You shouldn't deal with people
00:36:36who are spoiled by money.
00:36:38They have a job,
00:36:40they speak French,
00:36:42they have fun with liberals,
00:36:44and in fact,
00:36:46they're floating in the mud.
00:36:48Is that how you say it?
00:36:50Yes, yes.
00:36:52I'd like you to meet my parents.
00:36:58Can I help you?
00:37:00My child is very cute.
00:37:02Jeannette, please bring the newspaper
00:37:04from my office.
00:37:06Yes, sir.
00:37:08You have to read
00:37:10Bertelot's speech.
00:37:12It's wonderful.
00:37:14Thank you.
00:37:16He was talking in the association
00:37:18about chemical substances.
00:37:20Peter, sugar.
00:37:22My son is so upset
00:37:24that I don't know how it happened
00:37:26that he didn't blow up
00:37:28the whole school.
00:37:30In the laboratory,
00:37:32he stops being upset.
00:37:34Another cup for Mr. Peter, please.
00:37:36I'm bringing it, ma'am.
00:37:42Voilà .
00:37:44The twentieth century
00:37:46can be called the century of chemistry.
00:37:48In the year 2000,
00:37:50there will be no more agriculture,
00:37:52no more shepherds, no more farmers,
00:37:54no more herdsmen,
00:37:56no more protectionism,
00:37:58no more human-blooded borders.
00:38:00We will then be close
00:38:02to the realization
00:38:04of the dreams of socialism.
00:38:06If only we could discover
00:38:08the spiritual kind of chemistry
00:38:10that will change human morality
00:38:12as deeply as our chemistry
00:38:14changes matter.
00:38:16We will discover
00:38:18inexhaustible sources of energy.
00:38:22Carbon resources
00:38:24with such a difficulty
00:38:26of extraction from the Earth
00:38:28are becoming less and less.
00:38:30So we should escape
00:38:32to another source of energy,
00:38:34and that is the Sun.
00:38:36Do you hear, Peter?
00:38:38The Sun.
00:38:40Yes, we should use
00:38:42the solar energy.
00:38:44Buvard.
00:38:46Jeanette, coffee for Mr. Buvard.
00:38:48My respects.
00:38:50This is Mr. Skłodowska, Peter's friend.
00:38:52Good day, nice to meet you.
00:38:54Did you see that?
00:38:56Did you see that, Peter?
00:38:58Archbishop Lyon
00:39:00allows himself to ask
00:39:02for the factories
00:39:04to raise wages for the workers.
00:39:08If the government does not react to this,
00:39:10I will sign up for a free mill.
00:39:12Mr. Doctor is asked
00:39:14for an urgent call.
00:39:16May you never marry a doctor, Mario.
00:39:18They don't have a Sunday.
00:39:20Here.
00:39:22Read Bertelot.
00:39:24He's a real republican.
00:39:30I like your father.
00:39:42Look.
00:39:44You don't like frogs?
00:39:46I don't like to touch them.
00:39:48You're wrong.
00:39:50Frogs are very beautiful.
00:39:52As beautiful as crystals?
00:39:54Please don't talk to me about crystals.
00:39:56I'm talking about the place.
00:39:58Why?
00:40:00Mario, don't be a flirt.
00:40:02It doesn't suit you.
00:40:04Flirt?
00:40:06Like Parisian girls.
00:40:08I'm free.
00:40:10I'm free.
00:40:12And I decide
00:40:14about my fate.
00:40:20Summer is beautiful in Poland.
00:40:22Wonderful.
00:40:24I can't wait to come back.
00:40:28Do you remember the day
00:40:30when I lost you in the crowd?
00:40:32Yes.
00:40:34Now our friendship will be
00:40:36severed equally brutally,
00:40:38probably because
00:40:40of our characters.
00:40:42I can't act
00:40:44in the right moment.
00:40:48When are you leaving?
00:40:50Friday.
00:40:54No matter what you decide,
00:40:56please remember
00:40:58that you were created for science.
00:41:02I know that.
00:41:08You can take this couch.
00:41:10I'm not young anymore, Bronio.
00:41:12I know that women like
00:41:14to live.
00:41:16That if someone wants to
00:41:18devote himself to work,
00:41:20he has to fight with them.
00:41:22For them, it's natural
00:41:24to devote the most brilliant
00:41:26thought in the world
00:41:28to one hour of happiness.
00:41:30Attention.
00:41:32But it's a miracle.
00:41:34It's a miracle.
00:41:36But it's a miracle
00:41:38that Mary is different
00:41:40from all the others.
00:41:42Will you stand behind me, Bronio?
00:41:48Bronio.
00:41:50I've already told you everything.
00:41:52My job as a lab manager
00:41:54is modest.
00:41:56My scientific position
00:41:58is subordinate.
00:42:00And my personal researches
00:42:02are...
00:42:04You're a valuable man
00:42:06and I like you very much,
00:42:08but you're wasting your time.
00:42:10But it would be best
00:42:12if you went to the train station
00:42:14on your own.
00:42:16I'm going.
00:42:18Not so fast.
00:42:20Her train will arrive
00:42:22in three hours.
00:42:24Thank you very much.
00:42:26At least write down
00:42:28our new address
00:42:30in case you get it wrong.
00:42:32Thank you.
00:42:50Good morning.
00:42:52Good morning.
00:42:58How are you?
00:43:00Good. I'm glad to see you.
00:43:02Me too.
00:43:06I'll help you.
00:43:08Thank you.
00:43:20Madame Curie?
00:43:22Please look here.
00:43:26It's you, Madame Curie.
00:43:30Madame Curie.
00:43:34Please don't move.
00:43:38Thank you.
00:43:40Cake!
00:43:46Wonderful.
00:43:48Bravo, my children.
00:43:50But don't forget about me.
00:43:54Please give me a plate.
00:44:00Thank you.
00:44:04It's a mocha cake.
00:44:10Is it true,
00:44:12what your brother says?
00:44:14What?
00:44:16That now you can look
00:44:18through the human body.
00:44:20Yes. A German by the name of Röntgen
00:44:22discovered the rays
00:44:24of the Geisler's rose
00:44:26under the influence
00:44:28of light.
00:44:30They pass not only through the body
00:44:32but also through matter.
00:44:34How is it possible?
00:44:36I don't know.
00:44:38You don't know or you don't know?
00:44:40I don't know.
00:44:42That's why I call them X-rays.
00:44:44X as in unknown.
00:44:46I don't know yet,
00:44:48but all the physicists
00:44:50in the world work on it.
00:44:52Do you work on it too?
00:44:54Me? No, I work on something else.
00:44:56I work on something else
00:44:58than on Mary.
00:45:00I'll learn.
00:45:02I'm already learning
00:45:04more difficult things.
00:45:06Sit here, daughter.
00:45:08Peter doesn't pay attention
00:45:10to what he eats anyway.
00:45:12You won't have any problems
00:45:14with him from this side.
00:45:16I'll never have any problems
00:45:18with him.
00:45:22Here you are.
00:45:24This is my present.
00:45:28Bravo, Mr. Bouvard.
00:45:30Thank you.
00:45:34Goodbye, have a nice trip.
00:45:36See you.
00:45:38Take care.
00:45:40Have a nice trip.
00:45:54X-rays
00:46:13This day, having experience
00:46:15of X-rays,
00:46:17French physicist Henri Becquerel
00:46:19finds that also uranium compounds
00:46:21emits radiation that penetrates matter.
00:46:25No one was interested in his discovery except a young woman
00:46:29who, after graduating from the Department of Mathematics,
00:46:32was looking for a doctor's thesis.
00:46:40Do you think you will be able to carry out effective political activity there?
00:46:44We will be very watchful, but the surveillance works
00:46:47are very inspiring.
00:46:49Oh, yes.
00:46:54Will you write to me?
00:46:56Yes.
00:46:57Will you write to me every day?
00:46:59Will you tell me everything?
00:47:00Yes, my little dove.
00:47:02Bronya, what will I do without you?
00:47:04If you need me, I will come right away.
00:47:07Bronya, it's time.
00:47:10Kazimierz is so happy.
00:47:13I am happy too.
00:47:16I love France, but I don't feel at home here.
00:47:19I don't feel at home here either.
00:47:24Bronya, I will miss you.
00:47:27And I will miss you.
00:47:29Bronya, it's time to get in.
00:47:32Goodbye.
00:47:38Please close the door.
00:47:41Departure.
00:47:46Send me your work. I promise.
00:48:02Did you read the letter from Jaurès to the Minister of War?
00:48:05No. On what subject?
00:48:07On what subject?
00:48:10You both live in a great world.
00:48:13Didn't you hear about some Captain Dreyfus?
00:48:16You are unfair.
00:48:18Piotr signed the letter on his behalf.
00:48:20You will have to start from the beginning.
00:48:32I entrust you, Irene.
00:48:34And a piece of meat.
00:48:36And a piece of meat.
00:48:38Good luck, daughter.
00:48:39Goodbye.
00:48:43Goodbye.
00:48:55I have to have this laboratory, Piotr. I have to have it.
00:48:58I will try, darling.
00:48:59If there is a wardrobe in the school, you will get it.
00:49:02It would be terrible if he didn't find anything.
00:49:05Don't worry, Mario. Father Schutz can't refuse me.
00:49:13Goodbye.
00:49:29That's all I can offer you.
00:49:32If you can work on something like that.
00:49:36Only this moisture can be burdensome.
00:49:39Especially for your health, if you are so delicate.
00:49:42I mean low radiation measurements.
00:49:45Moisture increases the inaccuracy of measurements.
00:49:48Will you still use this burner, Mrs. Curie?
00:49:51Yes, I will need it.
00:49:54And I primarily need a brush.
00:49:57I'll bring it right away.
00:50:00I'll go now. I have to go.
00:50:04I'll go now. I have a lecture. See you in the evening.
00:50:07Goodbye, Mrs. Curie.
00:50:09And I wish you well.
00:50:13What is the subject of your wife's work, Mrs. Curie?
00:50:16Observation of Becquerel on the emission of uranium radiation, Mr. Director.
00:50:21Well, since she enjoys it.
00:50:23Our young ladies are becoming very ambitious.
00:50:33Is it Sunday chicken in brine?
00:50:36I tried.
00:50:39Piotr, dinner's on the table.
00:50:42I'm coming.
00:50:49Already after the lecture?
00:50:52Maybe you'll look at us.
00:50:55I can't work. It's late.
00:50:58I have to go.
00:51:01You'll look at us.
00:51:04I can't work. I'm so excited about Mary's discovery.
00:51:07And no one tells me anything?
00:51:10It's simple. For three months I've been studying various minerals
00:51:13and I've found that not only uranium emits radiation.
00:51:16What should I call this phenomenon?
00:51:19Should radioactivity be the right term?
00:51:22Yes.
00:51:25So radioactivity is the property of several minerals.
00:51:28Mary's hypothesizing that radioactivity is an atomic property.
00:51:31I don't understand.
00:51:34Radiation is the property of a new unknown element
00:51:37contained in these minerals.
00:51:40Are you sure of your measurements?
00:51:43I am, but you'll check them.
00:51:46This hypothesis is so disturbing for the mind.
00:51:49Do you understand, Father? A new element.
00:51:52I'll leave my crystals for a while and I'll work with Mary.
00:51:55Piotr.
00:51:58On December 26, 1898,
00:52:01the state of Curie announces to the Academy of Sciences
00:52:04the discovery of a new element in uranium.
00:52:07They propose to call it radium.
00:52:10But no one has yet seen this radium.
00:52:13If it exists, it must be shown.
00:52:16Its atomic mass must be determined.
00:52:19Only then will everyone believe.
00:52:25Where do we put it all?
00:52:28It must weigh a lot.
00:52:31A ton.
00:52:34A ton of uranium ore must cost a fortune, Mrs. Curie.
00:52:37It's not just waste.
00:52:40They were happy that they could get rid of it.
00:52:43Oh, yes.
00:52:49It looks ugly.
00:52:52I hope our radium will have a beautiful color.
00:53:22A month later.
00:53:35The months of work did not bring any results.
00:53:38The spouses shared tasks.
00:53:41Piotr examines the properties of radium in uranium compounds.
00:53:44Mary extracts sediment from many liters of solution
00:53:47in the hope of isolating salt from pure radium.
00:53:50The students do not know that radium is an emission in their bodies.
00:54:03A week of work for nothing.
00:54:06I've had enough of it. We can't keep working like this.
00:54:09We don't have a preparator, we don't even have a decent place.
00:54:12This humidity is killing me. Everything hurts me.
00:54:15I've had enough.
00:54:2123rd of July, 1900.
00:54:24Pure radium in uranium.
00:54:2730th of July, 1900.
00:54:30Radium mass 174.
00:54:33No, we have to start all over again.
00:54:41Let's go home.
00:54:50Let's go.
00:55:01Could you not make such a noise?
00:55:04I'm sorry.
00:55:07Do you know what time it is?
00:55:10You won't have dinner.
00:55:13See you tomorrow.
00:55:16Goodbye, Petit.
00:55:1912th of September, 1900.
00:55:22Irena has 20 teeth.
00:55:25A pair of shoes for riding a bike for Piotr.
00:55:285 francs, 80 cents.
00:55:31Laundry, 4 francs, 50 cents.
00:55:49Piotr.
00:55:52Do you really want to be the winner?
00:55:55Yes.
00:55:58Until we have better conditions.
00:56:01I'm tired, darling.
00:56:04Tired.
00:56:07If you get a nomination for Sorbonne, everything will change.
00:56:10I won't get that nomination.
00:56:13You married an insignificant professor, Maria.
00:56:16You married an insignificant professor, Maria.
00:56:19For a madman who didn't graduate from Colle Normale or Polytechnique.
00:56:22I don't belong to the caste, do you understand?
00:56:41We chose a too hard life.
00:56:47Drink.
00:56:52Irena has woken up.
00:56:55We don't even see our child.
00:56:58Come.
00:57:01Rad is also our child.
00:57:04I want to drink.
00:57:07Here I am.
00:57:10Here I am.
00:57:16It's them.
00:57:29Good morning. Please sit down. I'll bring you some tea.
00:57:32Good morning, Mario.
00:57:36Please sit here, Henriette.
00:57:39Good morning.
00:57:42Thank you. Do you feel better, Piotr?
00:57:45No, everything hurts me.
00:57:48Good morning, Irena.
00:57:51He just has rheumatism, but he doesn't want to be treated.
00:57:54The climate of Switzerland will cure me.
00:57:57Switzerland? What will you do in Switzerland?
00:58:00The University of Geneva offered me a cathedral.
00:58:03I don't believe it. What will Switzerland give you?
00:58:06What France doesn't want to give me.
00:58:09A physics cathedral, two assistants, a well-equipped laboratory,
00:58:12work for Marie,
00:58:15and a good salary.
00:58:18And your research?
00:58:21It will have to be suspended.
00:58:26What fools didn't give you a cathedral in Sorbonne.
00:58:29The news of your departure made me very sad.
00:58:32You are very nice, my dear De Bierne,
00:58:35but please look at us. We are exhausted.
00:58:38I don't want to leave, Jean.
00:58:41I don't want to. But what can we do?
00:58:44Piotr is exhausted, humiliated, discouraged.
00:58:47Yes, I know.
00:58:50Here is Poincaré.
00:58:54Mr. Rector, I'm listening, Pere.
00:58:57You heard that Curie is leaving France?
00:59:00What? Where to?
00:59:03The University of Geneva welcomes him with open arms.
00:59:06We can't let this happen.
00:59:09Borel? Yes, sir.
00:59:12Please tell your father-in-law that I will come to him this evening.
00:59:15We have to find something for Curie.
00:59:18Gentlemen.
00:59:21Curie has a diploma.
00:59:24You can't dismiss her if she asks for it.
00:59:27October 3, 1900.
00:59:30Piotr gives preparatory lectures
00:59:33at the Department of Strict Sciences.
00:59:368,000 francs a year.
00:59:42I start on the 29th.
00:59:456,000 francs a year.
00:59:51So they stayed in France.
00:59:54Their financial situation improved,
00:59:57primarily thanks to Maria's work.
01:00:00Their health condition also improved,
01:00:03although they didn't know why.
01:00:06It happened because they spent less time on radioactive substances.
01:00:09Maria is full of fervor.
01:00:12She did not step away from her goal
01:00:15of isolating the salts of pure radium.
01:00:18It's impossible. Impossible.
01:00:21But we know Maria.
01:00:24She didn't stop her efforts for two years,
01:00:27until one day,
01:00:30the atomic mass of radium was 225.90.
01:00:33So what?
01:00:36I got the same result as you.
01:01:03Piotr?
01:01:06Yes?
01:01:09Look.
01:01:12What happened?
01:01:18Do you remember?
01:01:21You wanted it to have a beautiful color.
01:01:24Yes.
01:01:27Since that time, you have converted 8 tons of rhodium
01:01:30into 8.5 tons of uranium.
01:01:338.5 tons.
01:01:48For the advice.
01:01:51Is that all?
01:01:54Emil and Lutoas are not your strong point.
01:01:57Emil is a poet only in mathematics.
01:02:00We gathered here at the charming Marguerite,
01:02:03whom our friend Borel married in a moment of inspiration,
01:02:06thus bringing to our laboratory rats' company
01:02:09gratitude and innocence of flowers.
01:02:15We gathered to honor Maria Curie,
01:02:18the young queen of radium
01:02:21and her dear husband Piotr, my master.
01:02:24Their nobility, their lofty minds
01:02:27and their indifference are an eternal model for us.
01:02:30I vividly remember the day when Maria,
01:02:33with a modest tone but a voice trembling with emotion,
01:02:36told us, I discovered a new element.
01:02:39It was a great day.
01:02:42A great moment.
01:02:45I see that Langevin declaims as usual.
01:02:48I should have been an actor.
01:02:52Mr. Curie, Mr. Rutherford.
01:02:55Rutherford, we thought you wouldn't come.
01:02:58I managed to catch the train.
01:03:01I had to bow to Mrs. Curie
01:03:04and congratulate her on her excellent work.
01:03:07Thank you.
01:03:10You know Jean Perrin, of course.
01:03:13I read him with great attention.
01:03:16I also read you.
01:03:19No one introduces us.
01:03:22You're a fool. Come.
01:03:25Friends, coffee is served.
01:03:28Did you see the miracle I got from Emil?
01:03:31A phonograph.
01:03:34Mr. Curie, I'm sure you're a godly dancer.
01:03:37I assure you that I'm not.
01:03:40I'll show you around.
01:03:43I'm sure I can't. I'm too clumsy.
01:03:46I'm sure I can't.
01:03:49I'm sure I can't.
01:03:52I'm sure I can't.
01:03:55I'm sure I can't.
01:03:58I'm sure I can't.
01:04:01I'm sure I can't.
01:04:04I'm sure I can't.
01:04:07I'm sure I can't.
01:04:10I'm sure I can't.
01:04:13What are you doing now, Paul?
01:04:16I'm a substitute for Mascart in Collège de France.
01:04:19In Collège de France? You must run a lot.
01:04:22Thirty meters?
01:04:25Yes, from that eyepatch.
01:04:28Emil, turn off the light.
01:04:31What are you doing?
01:04:34Josephine, please turn it off.
01:04:37Give me your hand.
01:04:40Oh, look.
01:04:43I'm pleased to inform you that Mrs. Bovel's diamond is real.
01:04:46I know it's real, but how do you know that?
01:04:49I know because with the help of the Council,
01:04:52you can detect false diamonds.
01:04:55The Council knows everything we don't know yet
01:04:58and will reveal it to us.
01:05:01Look.
01:05:04Isn't the light of the future disturbing?
01:05:07Pierre.
01:05:10It's magical.
01:05:13The Council is worthy of a wizard.
01:05:16You have to know all its properties.
01:05:19The Royal Academy in London.
01:05:28What are they like?
01:05:31Proud, shy and poor.
01:05:37I see the Council of Ford.
01:05:42They're punctual, as usual.
01:05:45Are you sure you're French?
01:05:48This is my wife, Mary.
01:05:51And this is Mrs. Curie.
01:05:54Nice to meet you.
01:05:57Do all these ladies belong to the Royal Academy?
01:06:00No, none of them, my dear.
01:06:03They're wearing fancy, decolleted dresses.
01:06:09My dear, be so kind as to bring Mrs. Curie to Lord Kelvin.
01:06:12There you are.
01:06:15Has Lord Kelvin come?
01:06:18Of course, he adores you.
01:06:21There's also Lord Raleigh, Oliver Lodge, James Dewar, William Ayrton.
01:06:24The cream of British physicists has come to listen to you, dear friend.
01:06:27I'm very moved because British physicists are the cream of world science.
01:06:30Please put on your coat.
01:06:33Do they all speak French?
01:06:36More or less.
01:06:39In any case, they understand.
01:06:42Should I tell them about cancer?
01:06:45Yes, the Council is radioactive.
01:06:48Dr. Doulos is conducting experiments with it in Saint-Louis.
01:06:51Tell them about everything, but slowly.
01:06:54Let him show these tricks with the Council.
01:06:57I'm glad to meet you.
01:07:00I'm honoured.
01:07:03Would you sit down?
01:07:06Mr. Curie and the Council have come to a place
01:07:09I would never even think of putting my horse in.
01:07:12I'm Herta Ayrton.
01:07:15I also work with my husband, William Ayrton.
01:07:18Yes.
01:07:21I'd like to listen to you.
01:07:24It doesn't matter. Do you really think so?
01:07:27Almost.
01:07:39Ladies and gentlemen,
01:07:42I have the honour to present to you today
01:07:45Prof. Piotr Curie,
01:07:48whose work in the field of piezoelectricity,
01:07:51as well as in the field of crystals,
01:07:54is well-known here.
01:07:57Today, however, I will tell you about something else.
01:08:21I counted.
01:08:24You pulled up your sleeve 14 times
01:08:27to show them the infusion.
01:08:30Everyone wanted to see it up close.
01:08:33Lord Kelvin is furious.
01:08:36He burned his shirt,
01:08:39putting the salt of the Council,
01:08:42which we had sent him, into his pocket.
01:08:45He is a man of his word.
01:08:48Look.
01:08:51I went through this experience 68 days ago
01:08:54and the wound is still 3 centimetres deep.
01:08:57It means that the infusion is deep.
01:09:00I've never seen so much jewellery in my life.
01:09:03Jewellery is a beautiful thing.
01:09:06It's a pity that we never have time to go anywhere.
01:09:09You look beautiful in your evening gown.
01:09:19Oh, Piotr.
01:09:32But the basic value in art is truth without compromises.
01:09:35I told you that Jaurès will finally publish this journal.
01:09:38It is more gloomy than La Lanterne,
01:09:41equally vile as Le Petit Republic,
01:09:45and above all, Mr. Léon Blum, the fallen baron.
01:09:48Mr. Frantz, please calm Peggy down,
01:09:51because I can't control myself.
01:09:54I can't calm him down.
01:09:57Excuse me.
01:10:00Please sit down with me for a moment.
01:10:03I dare to say that you have a very sensual,
01:10:06sensual, belle marguerite.
01:10:09Be brave. I like bravado.
01:10:12But I can't advise you to speak to Marie Curie in this way.
01:10:15She has very strict rules.
01:10:18I'll leave her to Rodin.
01:10:21He made her smile, because he tells her about the only thing
01:10:24she doesn't get bored of.
01:10:30What a joy to finally see her,
01:10:33and what an honour.
01:10:36I just told my husband,
01:10:39and he said,
01:10:42it's like cooking salt.
01:10:45Exactly the same.
01:10:48I would never have thought...
01:10:51Oh, Mrs. Rodin, why did you invite them?
01:10:54Because she wants to finance the Foundation for the Council.
01:10:57I came to your vernissage as one of the first masters.
01:11:00Dear Baroness, I'm so sorry, please forgive me for not greeting you.
01:11:03Who is this?
01:11:06Do you know Mr. Rodin, of course?
01:11:09Of course. Good evening, my dear friend. How are you?
01:11:12I also have the pleasure to talk to Mrs. Curie.
01:11:15Apparently, we will soon be enlightened by the Council,
01:11:18and only recently we set up electricity.
01:11:21Is the Council blue or green?
01:11:24The glass containers that have the honour to store it,
01:11:27turn blue.
01:11:30Within an hour, it produces such an amount of heat
01:11:33that it discharges electroscopes,
01:11:36saturates the body of those who touch it.
01:11:39I am also radioactive, ma'am.
01:11:42Radioactive? But how is it original?
01:11:45Your hypotheses question the unity of matter.
01:11:48These are no longer hypotheses.
01:11:51Rutherford has proven that the atoms of radioactive elements
01:11:54disintegrate on their own.
01:11:57So we have to reinvent the whole philosophy.
01:12:00Not just the philosophy.
01:12:09Good morning, Doctor.
01:12:12Hello, my friend.
01:12:15Thank you.
01:12:18This,
01:12:21this,
01:12:24and this.
01:12:27Ah, Doctor.
01:12:30Yes?
01:12:33I will read my answer to you.
01:12:36Mr. Mayor,
01:12:39I would like to convey my thanks to the Minister
01:12:42and inform him that I do not feel the need
01:12:45to be rejected.
01:12:48Perfect.
01:12:51If you could add, I would rather need a laboratory.
01:12:54Additional mail.
01:12:57Thank you, Father.
01:13:06Piotr, did you see?
01:13:09What's the matter?
01:13:12You have found yourself in good company.
01:13:15The Academy rejected Zola for the fourth time.
01:13:18I will not meet him for the second time.
01:13:21I can't write anymore.
01:13:24We have to make an important decision, Mario.
01:13:27Which one?
01:13:30It's very simple.
01:13:33We will consider ourselves owners,
01:13:36discoverers of the Academy.
01:13:39We will patent the technology you used
01:13:42and we will get international rights to the Academy's production.
01:13:45That's the first step.
01:13:48I will give the results of our research
01:13:51along with the method of cleaning.
01:13:54I have requests from engineers from America and Belgium.
01:13:57The patent means a lot of money,
01:14:00our future,
01:14:03comfort,
01:14:06the comfort of our children.
01:14:09And now we will have two of them.
01:14:12What do you think about it?
01:14:15It would be against the spirit of science.
01:14:18Physicists always publish the results of their research.
01:14:21It's just a coincidence that you can make money on advice.
01:14:24We shouldn't use it.
01:14:27So we give up the patent.
01:14:30Do I have to reveal everything?
01:14:33You don't share my opinion.
01:14:36I do.
01:14:40Mario, what's wrong?
01:14:43Father!
01:14:46What happened?
01:14:49Come here quickly.
01:14:52Mr. Curie,
01:14:55a telegram for you.
01:14:58It's for you.
01:15:01Are you there?
01:15:04What happened?
01:15:07Maria fainted.
01:15:10The child?
01:15:13Yes, I'm coming.
01:15:16Here is your telegram.
01:15:26My dear, I wanted to give birth to this child so much.
01:15:29I wanted it so much.
01:15:32We will have another, the most precious.
01:15:35Stop crying.
01:15:38Get a gun. I need it.
01:15:41Right now. I love you.
01:16:06You received the Nobel Prize.
01:16:09Together with Mr. Curie and Mr. Henri Becquerel.
01:16:12The letter is included.
01:16:15This guard is reckless.
01:16:18He thinks he can stop the journalists.
01:16:21It's some kind of a ruder.
01:16:24What a nuisance.
01:16:27I don't care.
01:16:30I don't care.
01:16:33I don't care.
01:16:36I think they found me here.
01:16:39It's impossible.
01:16:42We are trapped.
01:16:45I will tell the guard a few words.
01:16:48Please, come with me.
01:16:51I want to see her.
01:16:54What is this Nobel Prize?
01:16:57It's something for scientists.
01:17:00So I have to help you on Google Hotel.
01:17:03How does she look from up close?
01:17:06Quite round.
01:17:09Show us, Mrs. Curie, what they want.
01:17:12They just want to see you, pigeon.
01:17:15The French are proud of their Polka.
01:17:18Do you think so?
01:17:21I'm afraid of the crowd.
01:17:24Mrs. Curie, why don't you have a decent laboratory?
01:17:27I'm not interested in my work.
01:17:30I'm just a physics teacher.
01:17:33Can you tell us about your participation?
01:17:36Of course.
01:17:39She did everything.
01:17:42And you?
01:17:45I helped her.
01:17:48What's your daughter's name?
01:17:51My readers are interested in everything you do.
01:17:54My cat?
01:17:57Yes.
01:18:00What do you think of the shepherd?
01:18:03He's the biggest.
01:18:06Do you believe in the future of science?
01:18:09Absolutely.
01:18:12And what do you expect from it?
01:18:15Moving the boundaries of knowledge.
01:18:18This is the goal of science.
01:18:21It's a pure coincidence.
01:18:24Be careful.
01:18:27We almost got run over.
01:18:30Do you think it's a woman's duty to help her husband even in the laboratory?
01:18:33I don't help my husband, he helps me.
01:18:36We work as a partnership.
01:18:39What time do you take care of your child?
01:18:42When he needs me.
01:18:45Would you advise young women to study at school?
01:18:48Don't you care about family life?
01:18:51No, sir, I don't care about the opinion of fools.
01:18:54Please don't push yourself.
01:18:57Everyone will be able to see.
01:19:00Behind the glass there is a gate of the council.
01:19:03And above you, a portrait of a couple of nobles.
01:19:06Maria and Piotr Curie.
01:19:09Madame,
01:19:12Mr. Curie,
01:19:15we are honored, Mr. President.
01:19:18It seems that you should be congratulated.
01:19:21We are inseparable, Mr. President.
