Stop breathing.

Breathe normally.

[deep exhale].

Inflate the lungs.

[metallic creaking]

Stop breathing.

[Benjamin] Claustrophobia, it's in your head.

[radiologist] Breathe normally.

[Benjamin] Because if you think about it,

you don't need much more space than that.

And since you can't run away,

I've prepared a song.

[radiologist] Stop breathing.

[piano melody].

[Benjamin] I'm not the one playing, you know that.

[Lucas] You can

remove my clamps? - No, they won't.

No...

Such an unpleasant word.

No.

You see how I look.

For the judge's imagination, it's bad.

He goes to see a convict.

You don't get a chance to make 2 a good impression.

[Melanie] Mr. Oak?

We'll settle the handcuff issue inside.

The judge has seen it all.

You are Mr. Chêne, aren't you?

- Yes. - Me Cambier.

We spoke on the phone.

Excuse me.

- HE KNOCKS - the judge] Yes?

[the substitute] Judge.

- Your Honor. - Good morning, Counselor.

[the judge] Good morning, sir.

Good morning, Your Honor.

No, well, no. Judge, that's fine.

Good morning, Judge.

You can de-train it.

[the judge] Please be seated.

Thank you.

[the judge] We are here to consider the renewal

of the committal order of Mr. Chêne Lucas.

Mr. Deputy Prosecutor, please.

[the substitute] Judge,

Mr. Chêne is awaiting trial in a case

international drug trafficking international.

[squeaking]

Involving dangerous individuals with dangerous backgrounds.

The trial is less than 10 days, it would be

regrettable that this gentleman has decided

to escape.

I ask you as a matter of course

to renew his committal order.

Master?

We'll leave aside your traffic fantasies

and refer to the Penal Code.

Read it, it's instructive. It's relaxing.

- [together] Bravo! - [applause]

- Wait a minute. Wait a minute. - Wait for what?

Ah yes!

- What's the matter? - What's the matter, he says.

That's great, you're 30.

That deserves a little speech.

So, Benjamin,

just to let you know...

with dad, we're very proud of you.

We're very happy to be at your side.

- You're a big boy now. - An adult, even.

At this stage, he's an adult.

Exactly,

a beautiful adult bird.

A beautiful bird with wings...

damaged perhaps,

but that won't stop you from... from flying.

To fly away.

Towards... towards the future.

To build you a nest.

- That's it. - she laughs

- Happy birthday to you. - Happy birthday to you.

- Cutting. - The candles.

Your mother is trying to tell you: "get out of here before I go crazy

"and suffocate you in the middle of the night."

[she laughs]

No, Benjamin...

Come back here. Stop it.

She was joking.

Were you kidding?

And now you're leaving me alone with your parents?

I do have a gift, though.

We said no gifts.

What's up?

The nurse, the soap...

Is that enough sensuality for you?

I've posted some photos.

In other words, photos...

from whom?

It's a proposal proposal,

but if you like it, we'll do it.

You don't have to be embarrassed. I'm not embarrassed.

Shall I open it?

Not necessarily.

OK.

What's up?

But what is it?

It's a mess.

A brothel?

Yes, a brothel...

inclusive.

Who welcomes people like us.

It's in Spain.

- Who's this guy? - Nice, isn't he?

He's a bartender.

A hooker bartender. It's on me.

What do you think?

All that's left is to find a driver.

And we're off?

[telephone]

Cuckoo.

[Paul] Are you all right?

- What about you? - Yeah, quiet.

- Any problems? - No, no problem.

How are the parents?

I'm fine, as usual.

Excuse me, I have a customer. I'll call you back.

Wait, what about the hospital?

We're doing fine.

What about MRI?

Great. I'll call you back. I'll get back to you.

- How's your heart? - It's fine.

Kisses, kisses.

- I can come back later. - No, no, no, no, no.

Let's go.

I can tell it's temporary,

but I'm honest.

I can't afford it.

My cell was bigger.

Yes, but me, we can open the door whenever we want.

[laughs]

How was your 1st weekend of freedom?

I walked in the forest.

After two years of zonzon, it feels good.

First of all, "zonzon", is a ridiculous word,

but this, it's not credible.

However, I can spin away.

- I can do dirty. - No, you can't.

Hear that?

"Doing dirty, doesn't suit you either.

Anyway, right now, we're concentrating on cleanliness.

- Er... - [rubbing]

Do you have a car?

Well, yes.

[soft music]

Sounds perfect.

We don't know each other, but I've got an instinct.

You're an adventurer, aren't you?

Uh, yes.

A free spirit. Ready for the unexpected.

- That's me, yes. - If I say to you:

"We're off to Spain, you say yes.

- You mean Spain? - The country.

But...

what for? What for?

Do you need a high-performance lawyer?

I must be happy.

For that, I have to go Spain now.

And you could take me with you.

You drive, we work on the trial.

You don't pay me my fees.

- Didn't you have anything this week? - Yes, we did.

The three of us can hold our own.

- I beg your pardon? - [doorbell rings]

You'll be a nurse.

Rest assured, it's not complicated.

What's up? No! No !

And he's a lawyer, too.

- It will help us. - For the PUK code,

beforehand, it would be necessary

confirm your name, date, place of birth.

- (He's in the living room.) - Thank you for your time.

Hm, yes.

(Hello.)

[Stephanie] I'm so sorry.

[Melanie] Hi.

- Yes, I know. - Oh, hi there.

This is Lucas.

Specialized nurse driver.

We came with his fully-equipped vehicle.

We leave for Spain in 5 minutes.

Are you coming?

[Benjamin] No, but...

I told you no.

[Stéphanie] Thanks for...

He hung up, the bastard.

A trip is great.

Melanie, that's so sweet,

but...

You tire us, in the end. Aren't we? You're...

Yes, Stephanie.

- Hello. Hello. - Hello, Mom?

Hello. Yes...

- Mommy! Mommy! - Hold the finger

button...

Here. The usual medication. I can't explain.

Press the main button for 5 seconds on the main button.

(Go on.)

Disconnect and reconnect.

Exactly.

Urinary catheters.

Oh, really?

I'm not coming, sir.

OK.

[television] Death strikes all living beings.

Sometimes early,

sometimes late, but inevitably,

cold, famine,

injury, predation, disease...

Before every ending,

there was a beginning.

Life fights to stay alive.

But sooner or later,

it will be necessary to leave its place, the decline begins.

[Benjamin] Good.

But you have to help me.

Me?

[together] Well, yes.

Well, yes.

[Stephanie] Well, that's perfect.

Don't hesitate to answer the questionnaire

proposed after our call.

It's very important to me.

I'm so sorry.

No, it's electric.

[Lucas] Ah, sorry.

I was in Bavaria, in a salon,

and there was a lot of...

new chair models with systems.

It disturbed me.

Ah, damn it.

Careful, that's fragile.

Where are you going in Spain?

It's not precise yet.

We'll see where the road takes us.

["You Can't Hurry Love", by The Supremes]

[Lucas] Sorry.

Can't we take the freeway?

When the engine is hot, I can type a 110, 115.

Otherwise, I don't drive fast enough for the highway.

Great...

And you don't have a problem with that,

this trip with your boyfriend?

- What's up? - My man...

That's what you call it.

At this level, he's more of a fugitive.

We've never spoken in person.

It's someone

you met on the Internet?

Yes.

- On an app? - Hm.

What's his name?

Raphaël.

Too bad, it's a great idea, though.

An application

to meet.

Practical as anything.

I don't blame him, either.

I don't know if I'd want to be with a handicapped person.

But after a while, it's unbearable.

I need someone to...

kiss me, touch me.

- I've never had my breasts fondled. - Okay, okay, that's good. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Sorry.

No problem at all.

You're among yourselves, talk about what you want.

And I understand you. Voluptuousness is important.

The body has to exult, as the other said.

Exactly.

That's why I can't wait I can't wait for us to arrive.

I don't understand, where are we going?

What are you doing in Spain?

[clatter]

[Benjamin] Uh...

[Mélanie] How could anyone be so stupid?

You said to yourself, "It'll pass."

Good idea to travel with this

a week before my trial.

In other words, a trial?

Why a trial? Isn't he a nurse?

What were you going to do with all this?

You lied to me?

[Melanie] Who was it to sell to?

- Benjamin] So? - Yes, yes.

He's not a nurse. He's my client.

Do you want to go back to your mother?

Oh, it's all right.

two minutes.

Huh?

Calm down.

You don't listen to things.

I've told you I had things to do.

You're not listening!

I have a life!

It is what it is,

but I have obligations.

You, I don't have time to sit down,

you're making fun of me. You say, "We're going to Spain."

Gently, I say yes, frankly, I could have said no!

And I get yelled at!

Is that normal?

No, it's not normal!

It's not right!

It's extremely unpleasant.

I'm so sorry.

I got carried away.

No, no, no.

No, no.

I've felt it all along, it's nonsense.

At some point, I have to learn to say no.

You can go to jail if you don't know how to say no.

So there,

I say no.

You're not going to jail for a road trip.

We won't

force you.

I'm so sorry.

[Melanie] Lucas, understand something important.

- Come on. - This trip,

for Benjamin and me,

is to make love in a brothel.

A brothel?

A slap?

There you go. Because...

we've never made love. You know what I mean?

And I'm in a hurry.

I learned that I could die at any moment.

- What's that? - What a scoop...

I beg your pardon?

Are you stupid or what?

It's pretty much the case everyone.

I mean,

you're in the street, a bus pulls up, crack.

A ruptured aneurysm, snap.

A guy who stabs you with a blade.

It happens any time.

A snake. An avalanche.

A fish bone... Or a...

A large pistachio.

Oh, sorry. I just realized.

I have a complicated disease.

What you see is the chair.

What you can't see is my heart.

I had an MRI on Friday.

Not great.

My heart is more rotten than before.

I can have a heart attack at any time.

I'd like to put every chance on my side

to make love at least once in my life.

Oh, dear...

[soft music]

Don't worry too much, I was being dramatic.

What?

I'll be right back.

In other words, dramatized?

Isn't that right?

Yes, yes, but...

it can also happen in a long time.

- See? - How long?

I don't know.

I'm seeing the doctors again.

But it can happen now too?

So you didn't overreact at all.

No kidding...

Sure you don't want any?

[Melanie] No, thank you.

It's very tasty.

Is it okay to bring drugs to an old lady?

- Can't you explain? - She's my grandmother.

She has a small pension.

I had this stashed. I didn't give it to him until the zonzon.

Prison space.

[clears throat]

Do you have a drug-dealing grandmother?

Home-based saleswoman.

People are coming, she offers drinks.

It's very convivial.

Any other questions?

A true grandmother.

Bordering on cliché.

Who makes you brioche.

She didn't do it, it's industrial.

But it's still tasty.

Going somewhere?

Is there an itinerary, a program?

I haven't had much time to think about it.

I took a look.

We're stopping tonight, we'll be there tomorrow afternoon.

It's super fast.

France is small.

I feel a kind of physical urgency.

[intriguing music]

It would be an opportunity to see and enjoy.

Like visiting a vineyard with tasting.

Along the way, there must be a prehistoric cave.

I've always wanted to see that.

And the San Sebastian Aquarium.

I hear there are sharks.

Are you kidding me?

What?

You've done 10 m in two years. Want to see some fish?

Sharks are an example.

We take our time.

We stop for a picnic, take naps...

You're right.

Now you have to move around a bit, in life.

What do you think?

Well, I'm all for it.

Mega for.

But we reverse it.

We trace, we fuck,

and then we see the fish.

[intriguing music]

[Melanie] "While washing your loved one, explain your actions.

"Example:

"I'll wash your neck.

"I'm going to rub your thighs.

"Talk about the heat of the water.

"The color of the towel.

"To respect her nudity, cover her private parts

"and close the windows."

OK.

"With your other hand, maintain contact with her skin."

- Fucking... - "When you talk to her,

"be courteous,

"behave as you would with a lambada person."

- It has to be "lambda". - Otherwise, for me,

uh...

No, I'll explain when the time comes.

OK...

He tries to say that he needs a suppository to poop.

Damn it, Melanie!

[soft music]

[Melanie] At the traffic circle, turn left.

- Here? - Yeah.

Where are we?

I booked into a hotel.

You'll see, it's cool.

["Softly, by Blossom Dearie]

- Come on. - [sighs]

What the hell are you doing?

Ah, yes...

Zou.

Ah...

I'll be right back.

Wait, I can't hold it like this.

Damn.

- CREAKING - Sorry.

No, but go and get it.

I'm fine here.

It's fresh.

[Melanie] Hello.

- Good evening. - Hello.

Too good.

Does that suit you?

As I was saying, the rest is complete.

It's great.

It's perfect.

But there's only one bed?

It's a family suite.

- There's one in the other room. - Sensational.

I sleep in my car. Everyone will be happy.

The problem is, if you need help,

it's not very practical.

That's right...

- That's right. - It's the principle

of the audience.

It's all the time.

That's right, that's the basis.

Would you mind if I take a bed by myself?

No, it's okay.

We'll stand here.

Is it possible to bring a mattress?

I say that because...

I don't know you.

It's weird sleeping with you.

And at night,

I move.

As if the calm I keep during the day

comes out when I'm asleep.

I kick.

I'm so sorry.

- No, no, go ahead. - [clears throat]

I'm so sorry.

Do they have disinfectant?

Or bandages that feel like stitches?

[door]

Oh, shit, it's coming back.

[hubbub]

It's less practical than a normal hand.

It's well done, though, when you think about it.

So I wondered,

what made you want to go whoring?

That's unusual. No, it isn't.

Mostly a boy and a girl.

You don't see that very often.

One girl, one boy

who go to whores. - We get it.

Please forgive him,

he's shy and modest.

I'm not bashful.

Just eating,

there are people...

Aren't you modest?

- No. - OK. Let's hear it.

What kind of whore do you want?

I don't like that word.

A non-volunteer woman?

But I'm not even sure

to do something when we get there.

I don't know if I want this as my 1st experience.

Have you taken a good look at yourself?

It's not a criticism.

You know I think you're pretty.

But yes, yes.

All unfolded,

you would be very correct.

[Lucas] Yes, it changes everything.

I noticed this with frog photos.

1st photo, the frog before jumping.

All like this.

A bit ridiculous, borderline pathetic.

2nd photo, in the middle of a jump. There...

Class. Nickel.

3rd photo, landing.

Rabougrie, rotten.

But really, in the middle of a jump...

a beautiful frog.

I'm so sorry,

I'm a bit of a tease.

Beautiful frog. That's what I say.

[Benjamin] You'll see, it goes by itself.

I'm not made of sugar either.

I'm afraid of my own strength.

I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

I'm going to need you.

Really?

It would be possible to do something

so that we don't arrive to our destination?

You see, a breakdown...

An urgent family problem.

You have to go home.

I don't feel like it

to complete this journey.

It's about Melanie.

Ah!

OK!

All right.

It's sentimental.

- It's a romance. - Yes, it is.

- OK. - What's up?

Will you help me?

Please.

[intriguing music]

Hi, there.

There's one thing I don't understand.

Who are you anyway?

Is your name really Raphaël?

[sigh]

Well...

I've rarely felt so well.

He's found the position, it's...

very pleasant.

That's chance.

I put him to bed. He said, "Hold still."

It's crazy.

I have a feeling that it's millimeter.

You're a physical genius.

Yes... No.

- How long have you been like this? - 5 minutes.

More like 10.

[laughs]

Tell him when he's abusing.

No, but it's okay.

I'm fine.

As long as it feels good, I'm happy.

[soft music]

[alarms]

What the hell?

What's up?

- [door] - [alarms]

- Ah! - It's a racket, their thing.

Do you steal cars?

Not at all! I was in the bathroom.

There's a toilet here.

I like to be quiet.

That's all there is to it.

Good night.

Good night.

[door]

And your prejudices, are fine for 5 minutes.

- Thank you for your time. - OK.

Good. Good night.

["Wish Away The Day", by Michael Thomas Jones]

It makes a weird noise, doesn't it?

No, I don't think so.

I hear something.

Tac, tac, tac.

Any mechanical problems?

[tires squeal]

[Melanie] What's going on?

Is there a problem?

[Lucas] It's possible.

Lucas, shall we take advantage to work on the trial?

What's that? No. How about now?

Well, yes.

- Here? - Well, why not?

Good,

me, my job,

is to demonstrate that among the defendants,

you're a loser. Are you OK?

OK...

You've been in a business

too important for you with scary words.

International trafficking, organized gangs...

Mass murder.

No !

No humor at the trial.

Yes, it's good.

- I wouldn't have said that. - Even another joke.

Even a smile.

The slightest thing where you look relaxed.

You have to look scared.

Borderline stupid.

You have to express regret.

And above all,

shows no complicity with the others.

It's important.

OK?

What do you think?

Nothing special.

Aren't you a lawyer?

- No. - Aren't you a lawyer?

Benjamin, that's the definition of waste.

Beautiful, intelligent,

has his law degree.

The best of his school.

His 1st experience a little humiliating

and left on the 1st day.

He stayed home doing nothing.

In his hole.

Like a big fat loser.

You're not afraid of anything.

Your love life is good, it's perfect.

You're blossoming.

Shall I go for a walk?

To settle your differences?

[together] There's no dispute.

I can see that.

I'm not stupid.

[metallic clang]

You're both inhibited.

For reasons for your own reasons.

No fatalities.

[soft music]

This is a new level, we're moving upmarket.

Excuse me.

The same.

[horn]

Are we far from the sea? I'd like to go for a swim.

No kidding...

Really?

But...

that's great. - I don't want to delay the trip.

Are you kidding me? This is so important.

It's crazy.

Something clicked.

12 years ago, at the beach,

I dived into the water too close to the edge.

Ah, damn.

I broke my neck

and without someone there, I would have drowned.

I became a quadriplegic.

[Lucas] So?

Just kidding.

I get it.

Acute trauma, panic fear of water.

Fear of going into the sea. Fantasies of going into mine.

The classic pattern.

And so, here,

more trauma?

Strange.

We'll see at the water's edge.

We're celebrating!

Anyone?

Uh, no, thank you.

You, when you want to make

a real party, something crazy,

you have your little compotes...

I found them at the hotel.

For breakfast?

No.

- I can't believe... - Don't believe what?

Did you steal them from the car?

It's a disgrace.

Stealing a child's snack.

That's all it was.

It was the only car open.

I can't even open a car.

Stop stealing. It's not a good state of mind.

We don't realize it because it makes people laugh,

but it's antisocial to do that.

It's not much, but it upsets everything.

In your defense, I need to know that you're not a guy

with one mini bullshit after another that piss everyone off.

Yes, yes.

Do you know how to use a GPS?

What's the nearest the nearest beach?

Saint-Jean-de-Luz, apparently.

- (laughs) - What?

No, it's nothing. Funny thing about fate.

[soft music]

[Lucas] On the other hand, after the beach, it's going to get late.

I don't like driving between dog and wolf.

It irritates me.

[Melanie] Okay. So what do we do?

[barking]

I don't really understand your plan.

Bathe until she forgets she wants to go to the claque?

I don't think it's going to work.

It would take quite an event for her to change her mind.

For example, someone talking to her.

Who reveals his feelings.

Go on, shut up. I'm trying to think.

I did it to save time, to think.

Thinking?

How are you?

So, what do we do?

Moving on.

Is that how you do it?

Whoever sees me in a swimsuit is not born.

[Lucas] How are you?

Want to take a break?

Well, I'll carry on. I'll keep moving.

- Benjamin groans - I'm cold.

- Do you feel the cold? - Yes, I can.

Are you sensitive to the cold?

You're really out of luck.

- I'm just getting started. - Yes, you are.

There, you see, nothing happens.

Yes.

I'm moving on.

How are you?

Here we are.

This is it.

- Shall I go ahead? - No, go ahead.

- he groans - Yes.

Ah, yes...

[soft music]

I'll talk to her.

I'm going to have a little ice cream.

You know...

[clears throat]

I have to tell you something.

I found Raphaël.

The other day.., I was looking at the paper.

There were

a guy who was being interviewed.

A report

on the Bayonne festivals.

The guy we interviewed, was Raphaël.

But it didn't say Raphaël.

"Séverin, a regular."

- Ah... weird. - Yeah.

Yeah.

So I did some research.

I found all the photos

except it wasn't the same name.

The guy documents his whole life.

Here, I saw that he was 10 minutes ago in Hossegor.

Do you want to go?

Yes.

Is that a good idea?

You might not like it.

It's still weird to do that.

I'm under the impression we shouldn't go.

Sorry, it's none of my business.

But there's a chance a real bastard.

Yeah, but...

he wrote me some very beautiful things.

It didn't do anything for me.

Don't worry, we'll finish this trip together. I'm on to you.

It's amazing how easy it is to find people.

Social networking,

is the death of secret gardens. Ah, I'm old.

[sigh]

How's that?

Yeah.

Come on.

[hubbub and laughter].

Hi, there.

Hi, there.

Séverin?

Yeah.

- Or Raphaël. - No.

I'm Séverin. Sésé.

[he laughs]

Ah, sorry, yeah.

- Right. - I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

- That's okay. - I'm no good with faces.

Are you at the gym?

Sorry about last time.

I didn't see that.

I didn't mean to make fun. I mean, it was...

[he laughs]

You're in handi basketball, aren't you?

Are you kidding me?

Is it because of your girlfriend?

Well, no.

Oh no, we're not together.

I'm so sorry, you must have the wrong...

I don't think we've met.

Did I say your first name by any chance?

Is that it?

[he laughs]

You're pathetic, actually. I feel sorry for you.

Not good delirium, there.

[laughs]

- You really are an asshole. - No, you're not.

No, no, wait.

Are you done? Can you explain?

Want me to explain?

Explain what?

I'm not an instruction manual.

Shut the fuck up, with your stupid face!

All right, calm down.

[she gasps]

Ah, fuck...

How are you?

Yes, it's good.

I'm fine, thanks.

- What's going on? - I'm okay.

No, but quiet.

I'm fine.

I'd give you a piece of my mind.

- What did you say? - I didn't say anything.

I don't understand what's going on.

This, here.

Isn't that you?

Yes, serious!

[he laughs]

But...

It's not me. I'm not on the apps.

But it's amazing.

Someone thought

that he had better luck with my face.

Aren't you the messenger?

Honestly.., I would never have written that.

I'm so sorry.

What does he want?

Excuse me!

Hi, there.

We can't just leave each other. This story is crazy.

Shall we go bowling?

No.

Tonight, we'll be camping in the mountains.

- Ah, wow! - Shot?

- Uh, come on. - Shot?

- No, I'm fine. - Would you like a straw?

Shall I hold it for you like an old man?

No ?

- Just kidding, just kidding. - laughs]

Maybe later.

You'll have to excuse him. He's sweet.

It's not always fine.

No problem. I don't either, and I'm not even nice.

Thank you.

Juliette.

Benjamin.

- Hi, Benjamin. - Hi, Juliette.

[Séverin] Look at that!

And we're having a shot now. Let's do it!

Shot for everyone.

Is it any good?

You want another one?

- No, I'm fine. I'm fine. Thank you. - Anybody home?

- I don't mind. - Do you want one?

Hop.

Cheers, everyone!

Hm!

[he coughs]

Frankly, bravo to you.

- For? - For everything.

- I don't get it. - If I were

like you, directly, I commit suicide.

I'm telling you straight out.

You're the real heroes.

How are you?

I'm fine.

- Oh! - he laughs

Uh, I wanted to tell you,

you know, in relation to the messages.

In fact...

obviously, it wasn't you who wrote them.

I'm so sorry.

Yes.

To whom

to play right now? To me?

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. He's completely drunk.

He's got to have a little of bullshit, even on an empty stomach.

He didn't get to that level all at once.

- How long have you known him? - Since he was 3.

Ah, well.

I was friends with her older sister.

At 3, we agree, he didn't drink?

But remember, little Séverin,

sober,

his mother at the end of her rope,

"But why did you paint your willy with the gouache?"

"You've taken another bite in a slug again."

And there he was, his eyes a little round,

mouth slightly open, like this.

Trying to understand what the nice lady was saying.

[laughs]

Sorry, he's your friend. I don't know him.

That's no problem. It brought back old memories.

Can I have a go?

Ah, but yes. Of course, good idea.

Don't bother, I'm going.

- OKAY. - You're sweet.

- Are you ok? - Yeah, yeah.

[Juliette] Oh, careful.

I'll put it on your lap.

You leave it there, yes. That'll be fine. Go ahead, you can.

- And then you... - I'm going, don't bother.

It's on my way.

[soft music]

[laughter and applause].

- Will you let me try? - No, I won't!

- Never! - he laughs

[she laughs]

It's not going well.

Neither do I.

I'm depressed.

- Really? - Yeah.

It's infuriating, it doesn't work.

[Benjamin] We're going into the bushes!

[Benjamin laughs]

You, it's just tonight, the downside.

I imagine you must be a little puzzled.

But you're not depressed.

No, I don't think so.

Well, that's good.

Well, that's good...

That's the way it is.

Terminus!

[laughs]

- Thank you for your time. - We'll be off.

He's the only one with a car. Until next time?

- Yeah, hi. - Hi.

There you go, bye.

[Juliette] I'm going too.

It was great.

Yeah.

Ben, hi.

Hi, there.

I wish you strength and tenderness.

That's nice.

What?

No, nothing.

["Distant Smile", by Ashley Clark]

It's been a long time since I've seen you in shape.

Yeah.

I've never even seen you like this.

You hit on some chick.

No.

[Ah, yes.

We never talk about your feelings.

I don't know if you've ever if you've ever fallen in love.

Have you ever been in love?

I don't really like talking about... all that, that's why.

Anyway, I never go out. I don't see how...

I don't know, on the Internet?

[soft music]

[notification]

Are you all right?

Yeah, it's my parents.

They ask if all is well.

Are you going to tell them that everything's okay?

Well, yeah.

Will you give them a kiss for me? Give them a kiss.

It was a great day.

Yeah.

Good night.

Good night.

I think I've had too much to drink.

What do your hands smell like?

Smells good, huh?

It's savory.

I found some. I rubbed my hands with it.

I thought it would be more pleasant for you.

- Do you like it? - I do.

It's important to to get it right.

[Melanie] I haven't slept all night.

Insomnia.

- Oh, yeah? - Yeah.

I've reread all the messages.

I'm obsessed with it, actually.

I... I wasn't dreaming.

I didn't fantasize.

It could have been an important story.

He knows me, anyway.

What do you mean by that?

I don't know, it's just a feeling. It's just a feeling.

I have the impression he knows who I am.

That he understood who I was deep down.

Encounters happen, just like that.

As if it were obvious.

- How are you? - Yes, I'm fine.

I'm going to stop. But it's complicated.

But what would you say?

That you actually have feelings?

Like, in love?

What kind of asshole do you have to be to do that?

You know she's gone to pee?

Yes.

So, in 5 minutes, she'll be back.

Yes.

And in three hours,

we've arrived.

So?

So that's that.

I'm appalled by your cowardice.

["Le Temps De L'Amour", by Françoise Hardy]

You have to say the words.

At some point, misnaming things,

is to add to the world's misery.

[Melanie] What's the matter?

Essence.

Sorry, I wasn't paying attention.

Well...

Are you sure?

Don't you want me to come with you?

No, we'll go faster in wheelchairs.

That's true, I hadn't thought of that, I hadn't thought of that.

Is there enough battery power?

Yes.

- A credit card? - Yes, a credit card.

Sorry again.

It's not your fault.

All the same!

[soft music]

- Benjamin] Hi. - [Melanie] Hi.

[Benjamin] Well, we said hello.

[Melanie] It's not bad.

Now, how do we do it?

[Benjamin] No idea.

I've just signed up.

[Mélanie] The same.

[I don't suppose your name is Coco Ball.

Mélanie.

I'm Raphaël.

Hence your nickname...

Raphaël.

Clever.

[Melanie] This is the first time I've seen the desert.

[Benjamin] The same.

[Melanie] Which is weird, I've noticed,

is that there's no place to hide.

Just a moment.

Do you understand what I mean?

There's nowhere to hide.

Ah, cool.

I was wrong, actually.

You can hide anywhere, apparently.

[intriguing music]

Just a moment.

Melanie!

Wait!

Wait!

Wait!

Just a moment. Melanie.

Damn.

Don't worry, we're close to the city.

We'll find help.

Where are we?

Oh, fuck... Are you ok?

Yes, and you?

[he laughs]

- Did I faint? - Yes, you did.

You need a doctor.

No, no.

Sounds reasonable to me.

I'll have a compote.

I'm sorry, there aren't any more.

I've got candy canes. Do you want sweeteners?

Why is the can full?

You say?

You didn't put any gas in it?

We were in such a hurry.

We were afraid for you.

But we were out of order.

Yes.

Yes...

These things are relative, sometimes...

- How far are we? - From?

From the finish.

Do you still want to go to the claque?

Well, yes.

Right, Benjamin?

We're not giving up.

Well, no.

At some point, I'm going to hand out slaps.

You'll see.

Gratos.

[laughs]

[in Spanish] I have to show you my nails.

They look like this.

Hello.

- Hi there. - Hi, there.

- Hi. - Hi.

Well, here you are.

I'm going for a walk.

[in English] French ?

Yes.

How did you know?

- I know that. - laughs]

Would you like a drink?

[in spanish] Hello, handsome.

[Melanie in English] No, I'm fine. Thank you, Melanie.

[in English] What can I do for you?

Er...

- Well... [laughs] - [laughs]

Do you want to go somewhere, with me?

Yes.

How about now? How's that?

Yes, that's fine with me.

OK.

[in Spanish] Are you coming, sweetie?

[in English] What's your name?

- Melanie. - Melanie.

- So let's get to it, Melanie, shall we? - OK.

Feeling good? Relaxed?

- Yes, I'm relaxed. - OKAY.

[in English] Excuse me.

Yes ?

I'm not sure.

OK.

- OK. - I think...

that I'm not...

I'd like to get out of here.

- OK. - OK?

OK, here we go, don't worry.

OK, thanks.

[soft music]

You have it, strength and tenderness.

[door]

[laughs]

I'm very happy to see you like this.

So now what?

How are you?

I wondered.

Is it technically possible for you to take the train?

If possible,

to come home like this,

I wouldn't say no.

I'm going to stay a little longer.

It's stupid, you did 2 years. You won't be sentenced to more.

You're going home,

you're on trial, you start all over again.

I made friends with the bartender.

He's not just a whore.

He's a nurse.

I found myself a lot of affinities with him.

I think he's right when he says...

It's nice to help others.

Maybe I won't both hats.

But...

nurse...

is good.

Are you sure?

Why don't I give you a lift into town?

- We'll manage. - We want to

to stretch their legs.

When you come back to France, let us know.

What for?

To see each other.

I'll give you a signal and we'll see each other?

[Benjamin] Here we are.

Ah...

[laughs]

Take care.

["Just The Two Of Us", by Grover Washington Jr.]

Kisses.

Big kisses.

[Benjamin] I love you.

[Melanie] I love you too.

[Benjamin] It's super easy to say, actually.

[Is that why you talk in your head?

You know that one day,

tomorrow, maybe,

you risk to be very sad?

Are you aware that it could stop at any moment?

It's the principle of love, as I understand it.

[Benjamin] In idea, I take your hand.

[Melanie] In the idea, I kiss you.
