Short filmTranscript
00:00Alice, you're pregnant.
00:02With quadruplets.
00:05Um, I'm sorry, did you just say quadruplets?
00:08Yes.
00:11Are you ready to become a mother?
00:15Alice was terrified. How could she possibly raise four children alone?
00:20Yes, I am.
00:22We have a lot of different classes.
00:23But on the other hand, Alice knew this was a way to start over.
00:27You seem a little surprised.
00:29To rid herself of her ex-husband.
00:33But she had no idea what was in store for her.
00:40Emergency C-section on the third floor needed!
00:42Emergency C-section! On the third floor!
00:47Is she prepped?
00:48Yeah.
00:49Alright, here we go.
00:50No, wait.
00:54Wait, wait.
00:57Wait, wait.
01:00Okay, hold that right there.
01:05You're doing great.
01:23Wait, who are you? You're not my doctor.
01:26Congratulations, Alice.
01:27Both of your twins are happy and healthy.
01:29You're mistaken. I had quadruplets. It's four babies.
01:33I'm so sorry to have to be the one to tell you this, Alice.
01:35But sadly, the other two children didn't survive the birth.
01:38That's impossible. I heard four different cries.
01:41You heard wrong. Now drop it.
01:45Focus on being a good mother to those two babies who survived.
01:49Suddenly, Alice could barely keep her eyes open.
01:58No!
02:01No babies?
02:02No babies!
02:05The doctor was clearly up to something.
02:13Ten years later, Alice was at the top of her game.
02:17She lived in New York with her twins,
02:19working in luxury perfumes where she studied the biology of scent.
02:22She was damn good at her job.
02:24So good that...
02:26Pack your bags, Alice. You are going to Paris.
02:29Are you serious? I've always wanted to go there.
02:32Extend your trip. Bring the family.
02:35They will be thrilled.
02:36The three of you are going to leave next week.
02:38And Alice, have fun.
02:44And guess what, guys? We're going to Paris.
02:47We're going to Paris?
02:49This is awesome. Best mom ever.
02:51We're going to Paris.
02:53It was moments like this that made Alice's heart sing.
02:56She knew this trip was going to be life-changing.
03:00But little did she know just how life-changing it would be.
03:13Okay, you two wait right here.
03:15And we need to check into the Hotel Rose.
03:17And I need to call Fran to find out where we need to meet her.
03:24Ah, okay. I have my phone. And then I just need to call...
03:29Nate? Jenny?
03:31Uh, excuse me.
03:33Um, two parlais anglais?
03:35No, uh, have you seen two kids?
03:38About ten years old, blonde hair, brown hair?
03:41She had never been separated from her children before.
03:44She felt like the walls were closing in on her.
03:46Nate?
03:47Her heart was beating faster and faster.
03:49Jenny?
03:50Hey, there you are.
03:51But it was only Fran, her assistant.
03:53Fran, have you seen Nate and Jenny?
03:55Uh, no. Uh, don't worry. We'll find them.
03:58Let's just split up, okay?
04:00Okay, okay.
04:02Nate? Jenny?
04:12There they are, she thought.
04:14It was Nate and Jenny. It had to be.
04:16Nate, Jenny, do not do that to me again. Not in a foreign country.
04:20There was something different about Nate and Jenny.
04:23Alice couldn't quite put her finger on it.
04:25Did you guys change clothes? What happened to what you were wearing?
04:29Alright, Fran is looking for you and she's worried sick.
04:32Um, sorry, but I don't think I know you.
04:38Did you hear what I said? I asked who you were.
04:42Yes. I don't believe we know you.
04:47What is going on? Stop being ridiculous.
04:50One of you needs to tell me what is going on right now.
04:53If you're playing a practical joke on your poor mother, I will send you right back home and we'll cancel this whole trip.
04:58The kids looked at each other and came to a silent understanding.
05:01They decided to play along while they figured out what was happening.
05:04Sorry, uh, mother. It was just a joke.
05:07Yes. Just a joke.
05:11Okay. Come on. Let's go find Fran and please, no more weird jokes, okay?
05:16And just like that, these two children agreed to go with her.
05:19Even if they had, in fact, never seen Alice before in their lives.
05:25Excuse me. Have you seen two young children? They've been separated from their mother.
05:29A brown-haired boy and a blonde girl.
05:35Oh, thank you. Merci. Merci beaucoup.
05:39Les Américains.
05:41Uh, excuse me. Pardon-moi. I just need to get through.
05:47Nate! Jenny!
05:49We're here, Fran.
05:50Oh. Hi. Wait. How did... I just saw you over... And you changed your clothes, too. How did you manage that?
05:58What are you talking about, Fran? They've been back there the whole time.
06:02But I just saw them over there.
06:06What is going on with you two? First you play tricks on me and now you're playing jokes on Fran?
06:12This is really unlike you.
06:14Just having a little fun is all.
06:17Alice had a feeling there was something weird going on.
06:20She knew her children better than she knew any two people on the planet.
06:24Unless... they weren't her children.
