This film, based on a novel inspired by true events,

deals with several pathological cases.

The filmakers would like to warn the public about certain scenes of paroxysm

which should be viewed more as clinical cases than as entertainment.

Put it in the fridge. - But she could open it.

Put it over there.

- Good evening aunt Béa. - Good evening mother.

Good evening darlings.

Is there any smoked beef?

I ate that this afternoon, I was hungry.

There's some salad after the soup.

I bought a kilo of apples, will it suffice?

And I paid with my own money.

Who'll bring Lucile some soup?

Off you go.

Do you have the list of expenses?

8.50 for the grub.

32 francs for Diodrisone

and 28 for Sapalgin.

It's getting more expensive every day.

It's good, right?

There. Swallow.

There. Swallow. There. Swallow.

There. Swallow.

Don't drool.

Don't drool. Hurry up.

If you didn't need all that medicine, we could buy more steaks.

But you don't care.

Mashed potatoes or lobster is all the same to you.

What did you just hide?

Nothing, just sugar. - Give me.

Go to sleep baby.

Don't you have any money?

Only 10 francs left.

This can't go on.

We'll have to charm our bosses.

Here.

Music for my little sweetheart.

Good evening Georges.

Good evening Béatrice.

Good evening Josyne, good evening Élisa.

Good evening mister Borgo.

Good evening mister Borgo.

Coffee? I'd love some, thank you.

Josyne, 2 coffees, please.

What did the lawyer say? - He's pessimistic.

Isn't there anything we can do while Lucile is still underage?

No, you'll have to go to court to have her declared mentally incapacitated.

But that's gonna cost me a fortune!

I'm afraid so.

Your husband's will complicates things.

Béatrice, why do you insist on keeping this villa?

You can no longer afford it.

Sell it before it gets out of hand.

You know I can help you.

Abandon it? After all the sacrifices I've made?

Never.

Everything would be simpler if it weren't for Lucille.

I mean if she was normal.

God only knows what I've done for that child,

and what I'm still willing to do. For this, for what it costs me,

I have to win the case.

Of course.

Good night my angel.

Do we take her downstairs?

Outside, so she can breath some fresh air.

Come on.

Over there so they can't see her.

Enjoy and take some deep breaths, it's free.

- Hi. - Hi Bruno.

Hi.

Hello Snow White, smile. Recognise me?

What time is it?

20 to. - Let's go.

What's your cousin suffering from anyway?

I've told you twenty times already. A childhood trauma made her this way.

Long ago?

Yes, she was ten.

Josyne and I were still in school.

Will she recover? - Who knows.

We've tried everything and keep buying expensive medicine.

The doctor says an emotional shock could cure her.

I'll give her an emotional shock. She's pretty shapely.

Lucile is a life-size doll, warm and alive.

You're disgusting, we're leaving.

You're lucky to have a cousin who'll make you money while you're having fun.

Aren't you having fun?

Don't you like my pictures?

Here look, a man and a woman.

Look, a handsome negro and a blonde.

And now the best one yet.

Madame Butterfly with two Chinese boys.

Aren't these two little ones cute?

Hey, good morning. - Good morning.

Do you live here?

Are you on holiday? - Yes. You too?

No I work, part-time.

My mornings are free.

Are you a student? - Yes, psychology.

I'm André Cadè. - Josyne Laure, pleased to meet you.

Likewise.

Well now that we are neighbours, we can see each other again.

Alright, it's very easy to come and visit me.

There's a door in the fence, go around the villa

and if it's locked ring the bell.

And what if it's not locked? - Then come directly up to my room.

I'll show you.

Oh, boy!

You got this one too? It's rare.

I find it a little soft.

Martini, whiskey?

At 10am? A bit early.

What are we going to do? Shall we put on a record?

You know, if you're not in a hurry, you can stay.

I'm all alone.

You're very kind, very nice.

And very pretty.

Now that I know the way, we'll see each other again.

Stop getting aroused.

I have him in my pocket, the little neighbor.

You should see how he was looking at my legs.

He'll be thinking of them all night.

And you shouldn't think about that negro and Butterfly.

Let's get some rest.

She keeps getting heavier. - Has she eaten?

No. For you, I left the gratin in the oven.

Damn, I'm going to miss my train.

Go to work, cousin, so we can fatten up little Lulu.

Josyne, don't forget to visit Didier for the stuff.

May I?

Feet first, then your food.

Come on, let's go.

You're such a dimwit!

Touch it, it's so soft.

If you were cured, you wouldn't know how to do anything at all.

You don't know the first thing about pleasing men.

You'd have a lot of catching up to do.

You who stopped at age 10.

I know you can hear me.

Do you understand me?

No, you don't understand anything.

You're an animal. Here, smell my cologne.

You are a little cat.

A little cat, you pet it. But you also beat it.

Did he give it to you? - Very reluctantly.

That pig. We've been fattening him up for ten years now.

Jabalpur special with green pepper.

280 recipes in the service of love.

How about some fun while we're waiting for your mother?

Are you mad? That's 39 francs a bottle!

What's on TV?

We shall have to ask the court for a copy.

Listen Béatrice.

Formidable that Eros cuisine!

Not in front of the children.

Among old people it's disgusting, don't you think?

Élisa! What are you doing here?

I wanted to talk to you.

About what?

I wanted to ask you a favour. - Ask away.

Josyne's birthday is on Saturday. - Yes, I know.

We want to have a party, but just for young people, you know.

Very well.

My aunt would ruin everything with her sad face.

It would be very sweet of you if you took her out.

Why not?

Listen, if you'd really want to surprise my aunt...

why don't you propose a little trip? Two days.

A weekend. - Next Saturday.

It doesn't seem impossible. I hope I can convince her.

I bet you can.

You are irresistible. - Is that so?

Done deal, I've spoken to grandpa. - And?

He's taking your mother away for two days.

We'll be completely free.

We should organise the party.

Who should we invite besides Bruno?

André who I've met this morning.

He lives next door.

How is he? - Not bad

I've had him come up.

He's too tight.

But we'll loosen him up.

That tickles.

No, no not tonight.

Are you unwell?

I'm just not feeling like it.

Already working?

Yes, but thanks for the interruption.

I was just thinking of you. - Same here.

What were you thinking?

Saturday is my birthday and I wanted to invite you.

I'll have to be properly dressed. - No, on the contrary

I should be undressed?

No that's not necessary, it's informal, only young people.

How many will there be?

I don't know yet, you're the first I ask.

At the moment there's four of us.

You, me, my cousin Élisa and her boyfriend.

Ah the gentleman with the big car? - A gentleman?

Yeah, I saw them kissing last night.

Sorry if I have upset you, I was in the garden when I saw them.

They weren't hiding.

Let's talk about something else.

What should I bring to the party?

Nothing, we've got everything.

But you can bring two or three friends.

We'll be alone. My mother will be gone.

Is she the woman in black who leaves early every morning?

Yes.

Not to be indiscreet, but why does she look so sad?

A recent bereavement? Your father?

I trust you, what I'm about to tell you should stay between us.

I give you my word.

Father's been dead for eleven years now. Cancer.

My mother was expecting a baby.

The child died two months after my father's death.

Mother was using thalidomide and the baby was born deformed.

Labor complications left her sterile.

The baby lived only two days.

Since then, my mother has been in triple mourning.

For her husband, her child and motherhood.

I'm sorry I asked. - It doesn't matter.

Think of the party.

I have to go, Élisa is coming.

Are you insane? What's wrong with you? - Isn't Bruno enough?

Now you want Borgo too? - Borgo, me?

Yes, you were seen. - By who?

You were seen kissing him.

And that wasn't probably all.

Oh yesterday, well, to tell you the truth, Borgo isn't bad at all.

I'll tell mother, it's disgusting.

Are you feeling sorry for your mother or are you jealous?

Leave me alone.

Keep your head up, it's making me nervous.

Lucile is going to have a party.

Alcohol a go-go.

People kissing everywhere.

It's gonna get real hot.

We'll invite you, if you're good.

This one I wore in La Baule.

That little Yvon with his wanderning hands

was grumbling like a devil because of the underwirings of the bra cups.

See this mending?

Alex "the savage".

He nearly ravaged me.

We were in Dinard, under an overturned boat.

Well, well. You're afraid of the doll.

Just remember that.

You'll see it every time you don't behave.

See you soon.

Élisa? Élisa?

First you need to tell me if you're still angry. Élisa? Élisa?

First you need to tell me if you're still angry.

I want to know one thing. - What's that?

Would she enjoy this just like we do?

Her only pleasure is watching.

We shouldn't deprive her of it, poor thing.

Aunt Béa,

Josyne invited the neighbors' nephew for her birthday.

I don't want more than 10 people in the house.

Your friends can cause more damage than a cyclone.

And we must avoid unnecessary expenses.

Besides, who knows how the court case will turn out.

It's going to cost me a lot now that Lucile is no longer a minor.

Who'll bring her food? - You go.

I can't leave you alone for a moment. You always make a mess.

You eat too much.

Good evening Béatrice.

- Good evening Georges. - Good evening mister Borgo.

Good evening Élisa.

What's wrong with your car?

Something happened when I drove into the garden.

The starter turns, but there's no ignition.

Will you be staying the night? - You know I can't do that.

Léone is capable of anything, even take me to court for adultery.

I need to be home early.

Well, that's not right.

Allow me.

Hello, Bruno?

I need you to...

It's Élisa. Say...

Do you have the time to check a car?

I don't know... Tomorrow?

Not before 2 pm. - It needs to be done properly.

Alright see you tomorrow.

I'll be gone for the weekend, would you care to join me?

I'd love to but I'll miss Josyne's birthday.

They won't miss us.

And you won't miss us.

I'll drive you home in Auntie's car after the tv show.

No, I'll go.

Such nice girls.

They haven't tucked in Lucile yet. Go to my room, Georges. - Ok.

Did you eat?

I'll undress you.

You won't be outside today, it's too damp.

You just watch the trees. Want some music?

Louder? Even louder?

Guess who?

Dracula.

- Hi. - Hi.

Doesn't that loud music drive you nuts?

Oh that's probably my sister Lucile. She's like a child.

Is your sister the one I saw sitting over there the other day?

Perhaps.

She's very beautiful, I'd love to meet her.

Are you serious?

You'd be disappointed, she's ill and can't move.

Doesn't talk, just sleeps and eats.

And she takes medicine, she costs us a fortune.

Élisa says she would be better off dead. - That's cruel. There's always hope.

Don't you love her?

She's my sister.

She'll see us. - No, she's short-sighted.

It would be a shame to have the garden to ourselves and not take advantage of it.

I like you and I want you.

But not right now.

On the night of my birthday. It would be a great present.

Just wait till then, darling, I'll give you everything.

- It'll be great.

If it's punishment for pissing your pants,

Josyne is stupid, batteries are too expensive.

Élisa is coming, I have to go. - When will I see you?

Saturday.

Élisa's boyfriend Bruno will be coming this afternoon to fix Mr Borgo's car.

So you can get acquainted.

He's a bit rough around the edges, but you'll like him.

What are you doing? - I'm spicing things up.

Ciao.

Bruno's here, are you coming?

In a minute.

How nice of Bruno.

He came to fix the car, so your mother can have an affair.

Do you like Bruno? He always strokes your chin with those big hands of his.

If you only knew what he does to me.

Hard at work?

The owner parked like an idiot.

Help me push.

Oh my suspender!

Wait, I'll help you.

You've got dirty hands.

Did you invite Marcel and Lolita?

Yes, but they won't come.

Invite Ness and his wife then. - They won't come either.

Why not? - Because of your aunt.

The mourner in black, gay as a hearse.

She won't be there.

They also don't like the place. It's really gloomy round here.

That's stupid. Invite them again.

Why don't you do it?

I don't care, they aren't the only ones.

Besides, the fewer we are, the longer the booze will last us.

Shall we try the car on a quiet lane?

Seriously? Here in the open air?

Does it bother you?

So, peeping tom, did you enjoy it?

No, it did not have any effect...

Look at what those beasts do to us when they "love" us.

I'm good to you, I keep you company..

Be sweet or else I'll put that doll on your lap.

You see this?

If you ever were to speak again...

Smooth legs, fine skin, party night.

Listen, we should find something original.

Yes, but not that stuff.

It's old-fashioned stuff that makes you look old.

I want to have a look.

Aunt Béa, I...

Where did you get that key?

Have you been in the basement?

It's dangerous, everything falls apart down there.

I've told you a hundred times.

Why did you go down there?

I wanted old clothes for the party.

Old dresses, nice hats.

Should be some in the chest.

Listen to me, I forbid you to touch that chest.

It contains all the documents of my poor Marcel.

I need these things in order for the inheritance case.

Understand?

Béatrice, calm down.

Do you want to dress up?

Here, buy anything you need. It's so much cleaner.

Thank you.

Come. - Yes. Bye girls.

See you Tuesday.

Aren't you drinking?

There's no love without a moustache, said Victor Hugo.

Maupassant, ignorant.

Listen, catch that one for me, I want to have her, the Victor Hugo way.

Not that one, the other one.

Not that one, the other one!

It's so much fun with the nose!

And what do you think of that?

Don't be so dull, switch partners.

No, are you drunk?

Feeling vigorous, are we?

Hey, do the one we saw at Pigalle. Show them.

Get undressed too.

Don't use that stuff, I'm against it.

A bit of a protest, yes, but also an egotistical retreat

and the first step towards non-violence.

Long live alcohol.

Generates altruism, incites righteous rebellion

and fuels revolutionary thinking.

Here, drink Cossack.

No I've had enough.

What did you make me drink?

Leave her to me.

I can feel you in my arms, so small. Aren't you thirsty?

I'm bored.

And there goes the third one! - Fourth.

- And Lucile? - She comes down here.

Him, upstairs.

Where are you taking me? - To bed.

Her first man.

We're not giving him a nice present.

We can fix this.

All we can do now is wait for nature to take its course.

Are you drunk? - No, I'm floating.

Aroused? - A little.

Pig!

Hey Dolly!

Hey, is there anyone here?

Oops, excuse me.

Hey man!

Five?

Or six.

Superman.

What are you doing with my cousin? - With my sister?

I want her to have a good time too.

Go on, Bruno, do it. She loves it.

With an invalid, bleargh.

I don't want the invalid.

Is he exhausted?

It's me, Josyne. Do you still want me?

Nothing?

Nothing.

They hanged him anyway, because he was a negro.

The sex under his pants produced a ridiculously huge bulge.

Where's his car? - He came without it.

She saw everything. - That's for sure.

Bring her upstairs.

We must get rid of him. - We take mother's car?

Are you mad? They'll see us. - How then?

The chest in the basement.

We'll put him in there.

Find something to open it with.

Don't break it.

We don't have a choice.

Will there be any documents in it? - I'm sure of it.

And the straw? - We'll burn it.

We must hurry.

Is the car outside?

Did you see anyone? - No, on a Sunday?

Don't be afraid, darling.

They'll never find him again.

Nobody. - What about mother?

We were searching for clothes. We found the chest full of rotten straw...

And so we burned it.

And Lucile? - Poor Lucile

I've always said she would be better off dead.

Die. Die.

Look sweetie, your little brother is dead. You must never forget him.

Mom! Mom!

Hello, police?

Darling, when I think...

My life begins with you.
