People would think she was happy,

without a blemish on the face or voice.

No one would ever believe

how far she fell into

the excesses of the senses

and the dark calls of sex that would forever destroy the

insipid pleasures of the flesh enjoyed by common people.

Escaping the northern mists

she left deserted shores

for they were the stage of dramatic events.

And the madness and rapture for blood

drove her to the doors of death.

Motherless, George grew up alone.

Waiting for admission at the university,

he moved into the house that his father,

a sanctimonious and stupid old general,

had in that seaside resort.

He was sure that there, during winter, he would not come to torment him.

He was 18 when he met that girl

who looked like she was the only living creature there.

She was older than him and a great curiosity started to grow in him.

He started to wait for her, to follow her,

to spy on her along those vast shores

often hit by violent and sudden sea storms.

George was paralyzed by the excitement.

She had in her eyes something so evidently greedy, insatiable,

that every move she made gave rise to a sense of anguish in him

because he knew that under that dress,

that surely once belonged to her mother,

she was completely naked.

Simone, in her strange fantasy, hoped he would approach her

to raise the dress from behind up to the hips

because just the thought of being looked at that way aroused her tremendously.

But she waited in vain.

George was a shy college boy with no initiative whatsoever

The plates are made to sit on them didn't you know that?

Do you bet I will sit on the milk plate?

Do you bet I will sit on it?

Do you bet?

Milk is for the pussy.

- I bet you won't do it - Really?

Watch this.

Have you ever thought it could be something quite pleasant?

It must be fabulous

Look

From there you can't see anything, George.

Come on, come here. Get closer.

You wouldn't believe me...

It's so fresh

Look from behind

It was the first time he saw that pink and dark flesh

cooling in the white milk

You've lost the bet

Now you have to lick the milk

Simone!

- What happened? - I don't know, Simone

- It's unbelievable - Why? Who is she?

It's Marcelle, the girl from the castle

next door. I recognize her. I haven't seen her in a long time.

I thought she couldn't leave home

It's true

I remember her at mass when she was young, sitting with her parents in the reserved places.

She looked like wax, unapproachable

Look. What a beautiful neck

What are you doing? Are you crazy? Leave me alone!

- You silly... - It's true

Now I know why they lock her up: she's crazy.

Simone

- Take them off, come on - No... they can see us

- Only the seagulls can see us here - No...

- Take them off... I get it, I have to do it myself

There's someone!

Hey you!

Hey! Come here, dirty pig! You were spying on us.

Aren't you ashamed of yoursef?

We won't do anything to you.

What are you doing? Leave me alone!

I don't want... leave me

Enthralled, carried away, astonished and unaware

Like in front of some tides, some unrestrainable floods.

As hit by a long, exhausting, sweet storm.

An extraordinary, unique, unrepeatable event.

caught them by surprise, helpless and innocent.

Marcel was coming out of a neglected world

full of nightmares and fears

and they with her, in that desperate and tender embrace of humanity and nature

they finally found redemption

liberation from the humiliations and the damnation of the flesh

You see, it's my birthday today. I come of age.

I'm Honourable, I'm Mayor... I can make the laws, set free all the housewives

- Well said - And you, ladies and gentlemen...

eminent idiots I was born from touch glasses with us. Drink!

Drink, because it will be your last toast

Go back into your tombs, vampires!

- I have a gift for you... - Simone

the metamorphosis of life the mystery of existence...

You are a hen, I want to see how eggs are laid

Hmmm, so many eggs you're laying

This is the biggest of all A golden egg!

What if the first "chickenman" will be born?

This egg one day...call you mother.

It's no one...

...it's my mother

Simone

- Take this madame - Don't cry because you can't play with us, my darling

And to think that once you were so...

Simona's mother

was a very good and sweet woman

living in the echo of her past

They said she was a great actress

she already sensed the amorous plays of her daughter

But when she caught her

she just watched dumbfounded

without saying a word

because she didn't belong to this world anymore

Rest in peace

It is useless for you to choke her, mom

- Let's steal their eggs - Oh yes.

- Hey, look what I've found - What's that?

In memory of the marquise Rossana of Paludepaille... and her daughter Marcelle of Paludepaille...

How strange, this is Marcelle...

... and they say she's dead.

Dad

Sometimes I'm scared

No Marcelle, what scare yous?

I'm trying to win over the vile havoc of Death

You should be proud of your father.

Like the Egyptians I have my secret to stop the ravages of time.

You know you look more and more like you mother, Marcelle

She's what I loved the most

She's always in these walls

Yes

Immortal

And you've got to stay here with us too

I've always loved you

One day we'll get married and we'll live happily ever after

What are you saying? You're not your mother

you deceive me with her voice and her smile

but you'll never take her place. She was strong in flesh and blood.

And you're just a pale immitation

Open up! Come out!

Come out if you want to let your lust out. I'll take you to the stables

What are you doing?

You pissed yourself

You're worse than a sow in heat

You deserve to live in a pigsty

Throw away that doll, little bitch

Simone was very excited at the idea of bringing Marcelle to discover her mysterious tomb.

She knew that place well because she always played there as a kid

She enjoyed the pleasure of idolizing a sacred place

breaking the balance

shaking from the foundation that fantastic world, unreal and out of time

Marcelle was already at the mercy of her will

and George, unaware,

was part of the debunking of her creed

Trying to drive away the fears and the last doubts

of their predestined victim

- I don't want to come - Why not? Your father will never find out

- It was a secret, I should've never told you - Why?

Because I imagine what will happen in there with those boys.

And it's me who'll have to pay for the consequences

Don't exaggerate, we're going to have fun You're going to forget everything

I can't forget

Did you hear that?

The bridge is trembling. Look!

- It looks like it's falling down. - Don't be silly

Come

Even as a child I never wanted to cross it. It's going to fall down.

You can see it's not falling down. You always exaggerate

Let's go

How long since I came here...

I remember... I had to play the part of a cherub

in a ridiculous drama that my mom wrote

- It was long ago - Enough with memories!

Time doesn't exist

We are out of this world

Come, here you can do anything.

Cherub, with love you stroke my heart

Come dance, Ghost, on your mother's tomb

We are in the realm of the dead

- Resurrected - We are in the realm of love

Kisses, to forget I'm alive

Kisses, to forget you're dead

Come, come dance with us

There's a place for her in this sanctuary

Marcelle, what are you doing here all alone?

Come with me. Why don't you get naked?

Why?

I can't, try to understand

- My mother is buried here - Where? There are no tombs here

Even if it were true, there would be nothing wrong.

Even better, it would mean we resurrected her.

Don't be scared

No one would ever know

You will feel even more alive

You are so beautiful

- Where are you going? - Leave me, I can do it myself

Marcelle

I hate you!

- What's gotten into you? - Are you crazy?

You are all pigs!

You desecrated this place with your filth

- Marcelle, what are you doing? Get out of there. - You defiled the statues!

What statues? Do you have visions, now?

- Everybody come, did you see statues - There are no statues

- Marcelle, open up - Don't be silly, open up

- Stop it, come on get out - Don't be stupid, open the door

Marcelle believed she could re-enter the tomb

that a few years ago her father built for her

to protect her from the wear and tear of time and the horror of truth

because Simone, with her reckless selfishness

wanted to destoy her childhood memories

It wasn't the first time she took cover in a dark place

to escape the ghosts that were haunting her

And every time fear worked on her like on a defenseless baby

in front of other people's cruelties

Come here, let's climb this tree

Come on! Quick, quick!

George! We left Marcelle behind

She stayed locked in the cabinet.

"This theater was built by Rossana du Paly de Paille"

"With the goal of promoting the pleasure of lyrical art."

- Marcelle, Marcelle - Are you still in there? Open up!

"Here rests the Marquise Rossana du Paly de Paille with her daughter Marcelle."

- They arrested everyone - We have to run away

Don't do this. Answer us!

"Both died on May the 22nd..."

They didn't have the time to notice the tomb

or they would have discovered the mystery

But they were only worried about Marcelle's fate.

Only the father knew the truth

Marcelle, my love, stay calm

Come

- Honey - Marcelle, there's no more danger. Stay calm, stay calm

It was just a game, now it's finished

We love you. Now get dressed, Marcelle and you too, George. Quick, let's get out of here.

Come on, Marcelle.

Simone

What are you doing? Are you crying?

We didn't want to hurt you, I swear

Let's be quick, George.

Oh, Simone, George... take me with you don't leave me here, please

- Take me away from here, forever - Yes Marcelle, we'll find a way to make you escape

You between them! What an outrage!

Leave my daughter alone! I'll lock you in the castle and you'll stay there forever!

I know her by reputation She's a whore

You wouldn't believe me when I was telling you she was shameless, see now?

Before dusk those two will be imprisoned Like the others

Damn bitch! Corrupted beast!

Don't you dare talk about my daughter this way!

Yokel!

Recover yourself now, sweetie.

Let's go back home

Come on, get out this cemetery

But I want to stay with you....

You have to hide for a few days, it's important

At least until everything calms down

I'll do anything to join you immediately

Please, don't let the police look for me

I have my revolver

The first bullet will be for the policeman The second one for me

With this message to his father, George wasn't looking for understanding.

He already knew he would never receive that.

He wanted to turn the adventure

that he faced with an excitement

into a huge drama.

To weld the link of the chain that - he felt -

would link him to more and more disturbing events.

Here our life is safe from the outside world

and nothing could ever change it

they will never take you away from me

You are the queen of this place

guardian angel, Rossana

- How delightfulyou are me - George...Simone

The past has become an eternal present

- This way... Slow

To change even one small part...

I'll come with you forever

... it means destroying it

Take everything from me, everything

- You belong to this house - I belong to it

- There's no happiness outside - We are three bodies...

... but one soul.

I love you

Where are you going?

I have to come back to the castle, madam. I come back to the stables.

How simple you are! You can see clearly I'm not a madam.

Come here, don't make that expression. I need a favour from you.

Come on, come closer.

Do you think I'm the devil, by chance?

Come here, don't be scared.

What are you doing? Are you trying to exorcise me?

If you were the devil you would run. There's a cross.

So... can I ask you this favor?

Listen, I really need to see Marcelle

Tell here to come to the window that faces the lake by midnight.

Only you can help me.

And I will be very grateful

In fact I want to show you my gratitude... come here

Have you made love yet?

Do you know how to do it?

What's making dingdong here while you walk?

Come on, don't be scared I won't bite.

Let's put the exorcisms aside We don't need them

Will you do me that favor then?

I have to tell my master

Gilles, you're talking like a slave

No, but I can't deceive him

Stop being the saint, you silly!

Don't you want to a girl like me as a friend?

Every favor you're doing for me I will return it

- Even better... - No, no, stop!

Don't do it

I know this is a sin

That's not true, let me...

Do you like it? Tell me.

Don't you like it a lot?

You can do this even if you're not married yet.

It's not a sin.

All the fianc�es do it, you know?

Your priest will absolve you

It's so sweet, ain't it?

It's not a sin

It's not a sin It's not a sin

Who are you?

I'm touching you

I would never do it on our bed

Why aren't memories enough for me?

I can't forget you

You ruined me

Simone... I know we won't see each other again...

I love you

I can't hear you Marcelle

- Marcelle, Marcelle - Simone, you're finally here

Where were you? Don't leave me anymore

Do you remember that time on the dunes with George?

Yes, yes, I love you

Marcelle

Who's there? Who's there?

Damn scoundrel

I found you

It's here you hide after spying on your masters

I thought you were an honest and intelligent servant

But you're not

You are a thief and a traitor

It works, strange... that's the radio I gave to my beloved Rossana

How dare you touch it!

Do you think you can do as you like in my house?

But maybe it has gone to your head

you didn't think it would hurt

you took the radio to feel a little less lonely

but you know we love you

Breaking news

The violence of young rebels, drunk and driven by a will of destruction...

No! I forgot you were their accomplice

You put them in touch with Marcelle You want to steal my daughter from me!

You want to feed her to those pigs!

And you want me to be alone, beat by this instrument you infected!

Damned...

And I came here out of kindness... to be a friend with you

Rossana took you out of the mud

And I fed you, I trained you and you just show me this ingratitude

You don't feel privileged?

You don't even listen to me

Why are you giving me that look?

Am I not worthy of your love?

You are the unworthy!

Gilles... Gilles, what happened?

What happened?

Open up! Open up!

Simone was looking for George for two days

and she couldn't find him

she read his message and she was worried

because she knew she could expect the unexpectable from him

George, where are you? Where are you hiding?

George!

George was scared

and so he looked for a bigger fear.

He was desperate,

but his desperation wasn't enough

and neither the loneliness.

He wanted to try starvation

and feel the terror of the earth scoured by the hurricane

George, are you wounded?

Come on, stop it Don't be silly

It's enough. Do you enjoy scaring me?

You're not dead... I can feel it You're very much alive

I'm going to resurrect you

Is the corpse feeling better?

I can feel good by myself

To wait... motionless

to vanish in the sea

to become sand

Why are you here?

I have good news

I made out with a servant of the palace

I don't care at all

it's her, needing you

George, I would be lost without you

Simone, what are you saying?

You taste like the sea...

Soon we will go away with her, far away.

But I want to stay here forever

You'll see. Her father and her uncle can't stop us anymore. She's waiting for us.

We will be happy

Are you sure?

Yes, finally

Ah, Rossana... Rossana

My beloved

Is it you, Marcelle?

Marcelle, is it you?

Answer me, Marcelle

What are you doing here?

Marcelle

Is it you?

What do you want for God's sake?

Marcelle, Marcelle

Marcelle...

Goddamn...

I recognize you

I will never forget you...this masquerade

Never!

Do you understand? Can you hear me?

What are you doing here?

You are the devil.

The devil.

Are you teasing me?

You are a monster.

A demon loaded with lust.

Are you trying to provoke me?

I saw you, what do you think?

It was you in the hall, dressed like your mother

you don't fool me.

Are you trying to ruin me?

I thought the charm she had on you was gone forever

Marcelle, you are mad.

I did it because I loved her

she was suffering like a wounded animal an animal wounded to death

I wanted to take her away from your father.

But you've won.

Yes, yes, let's tear down that past

that past built on fears.

Go away, you evil

Bitch! Be damned!

Go away!

You are the disgrace of this house.

It was her, I swear It's always her driving me!

Is this what you were hiding from me all these years?

You wanted Rossana too.

It's a warning sign, Simone

We have to do something, now.

George! Be careful, George!

Marcelle!

Open up! Marcelle! Marcelle! Open up!

Marcelle!

Marcelle!

No!

They killed him They killed him

Go away Simone They're gonna kill you!

Go away!

Why? Why?

Assassins, be damned! Filthy pigs!

You are Hell

They killed him It's all my fault

They are crazy I should've known

They are crazy

I take your grief my darling

You have to go far away

I get it, that's what you want to see you motherfuckers

You waited for so long Don't you want to jerk off now?

Come on, this is the right time

Are you scared?

Come on, I won't be here tomorrow

Come on, I won't say anything to your beloved wives

Go away and come back when you will know how to use your dicks

I am an assassin, Rossana, an assassin. My mind is failing me

I hate them and I hate you too. I thought you were alive.

I've lost my daughter too.

You're all I've got.

Open up! Open up, please!

He was just a vicious beast

I punished him

You betrayed me all

You loved everyone but me

It doesn't matter

No, I want to go away I don't want to see you anymore

You're a monster George... Simone....

It was just a game and now it ends

We love you

Now get dressed Marcelle and you too

Be quick, let's get out of here

I'm sorry, we didn't want to hurt you, I swear

Quick

Take me with you. Please don't leave me here.

I want to go away from here, forever.

We'll find a way to make you escape with us.

A witch!

Just when the cruel uselessness of death was celebrated

Marcelle's soul, joined with the memory of George

started to live again in Simone

That suffered erotic communion was now complete

so much desired and so much feared

that would finally free them from that ghost world

that gave them the illusion of life.

"... you can be saints, either in a religious sense, or in an erotic sense." -Alberto Moravia
