La Jetée

00:01:29 This is the story of a man, marked by an image from his childhood.

00:02:13 and a woman's face.

00:02:50 Later, he knew he had seen a man die.

00:04:30 The victors stood guard over an empire of rats.

00:06:45 He was prepared to meet Dr. Frankenstein, or the Mad Scientist.

00:07:16 This was the aim of the experiments: to send emissaries into Time

00:07:51 perhaps they would be able to live in it.

00:09:40 They continue.

00:10:54 On the sixteenth day he is on the jetty at Orly.

00:11:35 Other images appear, merge

00:12:51 Around him, only fabulous materials: glass, plastic, terry cloth.

00:13:34 Time builds itself painlessly around them

00:14:41 They walk.

00:15:26 Now she is asleep in the sun.

00:16:02 She listens.

00:17:12 in which he would meet her at different times.

00:17:52 or whether he is only dreaming.

00:22:21 Once back in the experiment room, he knew something was different.

00:22:59 After more painful tries

00:23:35 He recited his lesson: because humanity had survived

00:24:27 He knew that his jailers would not spare him.

00:24:55 They too travelled through Time, and more easily.

00:25:35 the child he had been, was due to be there too

00:26:21 was the moment of his own death.
