Geneva ( /dʒɨˈniːvə/; French: Genève, IPA: [ʒn̩ɛv]; Arpitan: Genèva, IPA: [ˈd͡zənɛva]) is the second-most-populous city in Switzerland (after Zurich) and is the most populous city of Romandy, the French-speaking part of Switzerland. Situated where the Rhone exits Lake Geneva, it is the capital of the Republic and Canton of Geneva. While the municipality itself (ville de Genève) has a population (as of August 2011[update]) of 191,803, the canton of Geneva (République et Canton de Genève, which includes the city) has 466,536 residents. In 2007, the urban area, or agglomération franco-valdo-genevoise (Great Geneva) had 1,240,000 inhabitants in 189 municipalities in both Switzerland and France. In 2010 there were over 470,000 people living in the 74 Swiss municipalities that make up the agglomeration.
Geneva is a global city, a financial centre, and worldwide centre for diplomacy and the most important UN international co-operation centre with New York thanks to the presence of numerous international organizations, including the headquarters of many of the agencies of the United Nations and the Red Cross. It is also the place where the Geneva Conventions were signed, which chiefly concern the treatment of wartime non-combatants and prisoners of war.

Plot
Charlene Michaelson, her two children - teen-aged Amelia 'Milly' Michaelson and precocious adolescent Louis Michaelson - and their dog Max move into a new house in a new neighborhood after the passing of Charlene's husband/the kids' father, Donald Michaelson. Beyond life without Donald, they are all nervous about starting a new life, which, for Charlene, means getting back into the workforce after thirteen years. Milly quickly settles into the neighborhood if only because she becomes fascinated with their next door neighbor, teen-aged Eric Gibb, who authorities believe is autistic. Orphaned Eric has never spoken a word, and without having been told about the incident, began to think he could fly at the exact moment his parents died in a plane crash. Many believe Eric's belief is because he felt he could thus save his parents. Eric's guardian is his dipsomaniac Uncle Hugo Gibb. Milly's high school teacher, Mrs. Carolyn Sherman, who used to be a special needs teacher, looks after Eric as much as anyone. Mrs. Sherman believes that having Eric in her class with "normal" students is a positive environment for him, unlike the authorities who believe he should be institutionalized. Milly's official and unofficial tasks become to see what lies deep within Eric's psyche, and if there really is any validity to what people think Eric believes.

Between a silent boy and a beautiful girl lies an amazing secret.
Wish hard enough... love long enough... and anything's possible.
A very special love. And a very special magic. But is it real magic or just an illusion?
Milly: I found out about the boy next door. His name's Eric Gibb. They think he's autistic.::Louis Michaelson: He's got some marbles loose, or what?::Milly: Well, they don't exactly know, but he's never spoken a word in his life and he doesn't like being around people. There's some institute that wants to come and take him away, but Mrs. Sherman says he's better off with his uncle. He's in my class at school. Mrs. Sherman, she used to teach those kinds of kids. She thinks that maybe being around normal people will help him, or something.::Charlene: Where are his parents?::Milly: That's the weird part. When Eric was five years old, his parents went on a trip to Spain or France or someplace like that. The plane crashed and they died.::Charlene: Oh, dear.::Milly: Now, what I heard is that the moment the plane went down, Eric was alone in his room and without anybody even telling him anything, he started to pretend to fly. It's like, somehow, he knew his parents were about to crash. The way he figured he could save them was by being an airplane. He's been one ever since. [long pause, then Milly starts humming the theme to "The Twilight Zone"]
Milly: What do you know about Eric? Have you ever seen him do anything weird?::Geneva: That;s all I've ever seen him do.::Milly: No, I mean really weird.::Geneva: Dinky Patterson told me something weird about him once.::Milly: Who's Dinky Patterson?::Geneva: Dinky lived here before you; had your room. Anyway, Dinky used to get really annoyed with Eric climbing around outside his window. So, one day, he took his BB gun, stuffed the barrel with wet Kleenex and started shooting at Eric.::Milly: That's real sweet.::Geneva: He said he kept it up for about an hour, but Eric wouldn't budge, so he finally gave up. Here's the weird part: the next day, Dinky's looking around for his BB gun. You know where he said he found it? See that telephone pole? Dinky said it was up there, up on top of that box. That, somehow, Eric put it there. Of course, Dinky was the biggest liar I ever knew. It probably never happened.::Milly: Probably. What happened to Dinky? Why did he move?::Geneva: His dad got some hotshot job in Atlanta. Took the whole family. [pause] So, where's your dad?::Milly: He died.::Geneva: What of?::Milly: [flatly] Cancer.::Geneva: Everyone in my family dies of cancer. My grandmother had stomach cancer. She lost 300 pounds before she died. Never looked better in her life. What kind did your dad have?::Milly: I don't know.::Geneva: They didn't tell you. They never tell the kids. Did it take a long time?::Milly: Can we drop the subject?
Uncle Hugo: Don't shake the floor, please. [Hugo repeatedly drops a cork on the floor until it lands on its end] There you go. You see, you can't start on a bottle until the cork lands on its feet. It's very frustrating when it takes a long time. On the other hand, it's quite delightful when it happens on the first toss. [offers the bottle to Milly] Care for a drink?::Milly: No, no thank you.::Uncle Hugo: Are you calling me a drunk?::Milly: No.::Uncle Hugo: Why not?
Psychiatrist: Tell me about your accident.::Milly: I was on a bridge, reaching for a flower and I fell over the railing.::Psychiatrist: You told your mother something about a boy who rescued you.::Milly: What are you, a shrink?::Psychiatrist: Yes.::Milly: Great, now I'm wacko.::Psychiatrist: It's important that you tell me everything you remember about this. Let me be the judge of whether you're wacko or not, okay?::Milly: Yeah, okay. I fell fifty feet without a mark on me, except for this. [points to the small bandage on her forehead] And I got this when I hit the railing. I didn't hit the ground. Somebody caught me. It was a boy named Eric. He can fly. [pause] I'm wacko, right?::Psychiatrist: No. Did you see him fly?::Milly: No, but you don't know Eric. All he does is sit in his windowsill and pretend to fly. His uncle said he's seen him do it and I've seen really weird things around their house. He can. What other explanation could there be?::Psychiatrist: Well, you fell. You have a concussion. You were losing consciousness. Maybe what you thought was Eric catching you was a tree or a bush breaking your fall. Your mind could be playing tricks on you. It can do that.::Milly: That's impossible.::Psychiatrist: It's more possible than a boy who could fly. [long pause] Dr. Nelson told me about your father. He committed suicide not long ago.::Milly: [defiantly] He did not.::Psychiatrist: How did he die?::Milly: [with difficulty] My father had cancer. And when he found out that he had it... he didn't want the rest of the family to suffer needlessly. So one day, he kissed us all goodbye and he said that he loved us all very much. [crying] Then he went away.
[after Eric and Milly flew in front of the entire town, Eric flies away, never to be seen again]::Milly: [narrating] That night, I found out why Eric flew away. Our house was crawling with people who wanted to see Eric Gibb, the boy who could fly. There were scientists and doctors and TV reporters. When they couldn't find Eric, they did tests on me, because I flew with him. They did tests on Uncle Hugo, too, because he was a relative and had the same genes. Then they took everything out of his room and sent it to some laboratory. I guess Eric was afraid they'd do the same to him. Everyone had a theory on how Eric was able to fly. But there was one I liked the best.::Mrs. Sherman: [on TV] Well, Eric always dreamed of flying, so maybe if you wish hard enough and love long enough, anything is possible.::Milly: [narrating] Mrs. Sherman was right. Eric made us believe that anything is possible if you really try.
Man vs. Woman... Olympics you've never seen 'em.
She walks into a gas station restroom
She pulls out a key attached to string
She ties the string to her teeth, yeah
She swallows the key, uncomfortably
I've been following her
For two weeks in Geneva
Just to get the key
Hope she hasn't spotted me
I've been trailing her
Via hitch from a trucker
Who was talky and greedy
He cost me 80 euros
We follow her fancy black limo
To the airport outside of Geneva
We pull up to terminal C
I give the driver an extra sixty to forget about me
It's kind of hard to say when this all began
She and I were mercenaries in Japan
We both were so young
We both fell in love
Five years later we were getting ready to retire
Saving money from the hits we did together
We were high profile killers
No bullshit
So we moved to Spain
We both changed our names
Settled down
Got out of the game
And I still hear her voice
And I still smell her hair
Dammit these dreams
When she comes back to me
I can't believe my luck
The only person I could trust
You know killing is tough
When you first fall in love
Yeah she two timed me
Yeah she stole the key
Moved all my money
To some bank across the sea
She books a flight to Toronto tonight
I'm heading towards a lock smith in Michigan
You know I could've just killed her
But she's not that kind of girl, no
Geneva was just like you'd expect it
Full of radiance
Full of low lights and sad girls
I'm not alone when I'm without you
I'm not alone when I'm without you
{You want someone to hold you}
It's the right age
{And say you're not alone}
It's the right age
{You are not alone}
It's the right age
My life is just like when you left it
Full of rain
Filled with low lights and sad girls
I'm not alone when I'm without you
{You want someone to hold you}
It's the right age
{And say you're not alone}
It's the right age
{Well you are not alone}
It's the right age
But in the south
In the south the ocean fuses
And you dream in little ripples
I'm not alone when I'm without you
I'm not alone when I'm without you
For a moment at least
He'd found release
His harmony with the air
Temporary wings
As he felt the wind
Rushing through his hair
Who can blame him?
Who'll be the judge?
Don't be too harsh life is too much (4x)
Who can blame him?
Who'll be the judge?
When he finally fell
It broke the spell
His anguished frame besides
But a moment at least
Release and some peace
I hope it remained inside
Who can blame him?
Who'll be the judge?

Thanks forever steeling,
just when you get the feeling
that things could be alright
Call it a narrow escape,
maybe it's your lucky day,
my mind is running dry
And when you see me now,
I tell you how I don't cry
God in my heart of hearts I know that it's just a lie
So send me your best regrets,
I haven't had everything yet
Give me a reason to show,
something to call my own,
try me I've got all night
Say it were a narrow escape,
what else can I say,
I know you'll be alright
And when you see me now,
I tell you that I don't mind
But in my heart of hearts I know that it's just a lie
So send me your best regrets,
I haven't had everything yet
Explored every avenue, a dead end, every turn
You can't see your way out, nor can I
Moonlight is spanning down
it is such a beautiful night
the river is so calm
resting now under the searchlight
lurking still they haven't found a place
looking for it's face
all this time the river flowing slow
soon there is no place to go but down
thinking of a beautiful boy
eyes reflecting in the moonlight
the river is so calm
staying with him throught the night
lurking still they haven't found a place
looking for it's face
all this time the river flowing slow
soon there is no place to go but down
it could tell a long time ago
something in his face let me know
many men escaped their mud
watch them give up, life still goes on
lurking still they haven't found a place
staring at it's grace
all this time the river flowing slow
Cast me adrift on a dream
I promise to sail it till I know what it means
And send me your name on the tide
I promise to wear it as a badge inside...
You know, now I know, you know, now I know
Further out, further in, further out, further in... further
Take me away from this place
I promise to leave you when I see your face
So please call my name when it's time
I know I'm impatient but is that a crime?
You know, now I know, you know, now I know
Further you, further in, further out, further in...
Further... further...
Epiphany... wait on me... epiphany... wait on me, woooooh...
Cast me adrift on a dream
I promise to sail it till I know what it means
And send me your name on the tide
I promise to wear it as a badge inside...
You know, now I know, you know, now I know
Further out, further in, further out, further in...

You hold your breath,

Let us be happy while we're still young
Let us be happy while we're still young
Until it all seemed pointless, we lifted up the mattress
From underneath the window seat
'Is this what checkmate means?' she said
Lighting up again
Yes, I like the stillness...
Sometimes we had endless hope,
and tranquillizer eyes
Fear so close, it's hard to breathe
So close, but we believe...

So silently you win me

Waiting for the next time
