Original subtitles

- All good? - Yeah, you?

Yeah, can I borrow a card?

Here.

Sorry.

You didn’t get My bottle of water!

I forgot. I'll get it in 5 minutes.

Are you two... a couple?

It's none of my business but...

What are your names?

- Hannah. - Yann.

- And yours? - Sacha.

- Nice to meet you. - Want to do a line?

Why not.

- Are you having a good night? - Totally, and you?

Yeah, but my friends went dancing, and I was feeling a bit blue so...

- We'll dance with you! - Sounds great.

Here, after you.

Thanks! Sacha, right?

- Right. Yann? - Correct.

- I forgot your name. - Hannah.

- You're gorgeous. - That's sweet.

Here.

- You want me to hold it for you? - Yes, please.

- What the hell are you doing here? - Why'd you leave like that?

What did you expect? What don't you understand?

- Kasia, I'm not asking a lot here. - You should have woken me up!

We should have never slept together.

What's up?

I'm going to dance.

- You don't look good. - No, not really.

- I hope you're not getting back together. - Cut the crap.

You should have seen the look on your face!

Sorry man, do you have a lighter?

Yeah, sure.

- Thanks. - You're welcome.

- Having fun? - Yeah, totally.

- Are you here by yourself? - Yeah, I just got off work.

- What do you do? - I'm an Uber driver.

Not too tired?

I'm alright.

You need an upper!

- Sure. - Hold on.

Max!

Max! He's my friend.

- What's up? - Come sit with us!

- What's up? - He wanted to ask you something.

Max, nice to meet you.

Same.

- Tell me. - Do you have ecstasy?

- For sure. How many do you want? - One.

- Sure. You want anything? - Give me three...

You go hard!

- Are they any good? - Very good, bro.

A beer!

One for you?

- Here you go. - Thanks.

No problem.

People were smashing storefronts, cops were throwing tear gas everywhere.

It was total mayhem, clashes, screaming. Flash ball shots everywhere...

Let’s get out of here.

Okay...

- Where to? - We can go to my place.

I'm sick of the music.

Wait, I'll go buy something.

What are you talking about?

- It's on me, no worries. - I can give you some cash.

It's fine. Relax.

Come.

- Can I have a cigarette? - Here.

That's a cool track.

What's up? This is Youri.

- Hi! - Nice to meet you.

- Have you seen Yann? - No, sorry.

I’ll be back!

Youri knows about an after party. Wanna come?

I need to find him first. Go ahead and maybe I'll call you.

- Thanks for the offer. - You're welcome!

For me, open air venues are the best. You meet people,

you have the sunset, the music, you can sleep on site. At Boom...

- At what? - Boom festival, in Portugal.

- Hey! - Such a good night!

Thanks for the beer. I have no idea where my purse is.

- My pleasure. - Do you have a smoke?

- No, sorry. - Too bad.

So, Boom festival?

It’s amazing. You fall asleep at sunset.

Excuse me, can I get a line?

If you want.

I don't know if you party a lot. I've always gone to festivals...

- Yeah. - Universo Parallelo, Ozora...

Festivals in foreign countries, where the atmosphere is very different.

- It changes you, to be honest... - You want to dance?

- Not right now. - Okay. I'll be in the front.

- Got it. - Thanks, bye!

You're welcome. You want one?

No thanks.

Yes, Berlin. Several times.

- I've been to... - She made a hilarious meme!

Berlin is to techno kids what India is to hippies.

It’s so true!

I'm talking about you, me, us.

I just want to talk to Max, I don't want to argue with you.

- Sorry, does anyone have a smoke? - There rollies, is that okay?

Sure, but I can't roll. Can you do it for me?

- Lucky you, I have one ready! - Thank you...

- Lighter? - Was that you dancing like crazy?

- Most likely yes! - You were wild...

- Lighter please... - Here.

Sweetie?

Sarah?

You need some sleep, honey.

Sarah?

- Sweetie. - Your hands are cold.

Sarah.

Look at me, please.

Listen to me.

- Are you sure? - Yes, you need some sleep.

- Don't worry, we're fine. - I'll go...

- It's all good, don't worry. - I'm sorry...

Don't be sorry, just give us 5 minutes. 5 more minutes and we'll be back.

It's nothing personal but...

I'm sorry but I can't leave her here, wasted...

With some random guy, sorry...

Thanks.

Kasia!

- Ivan, where were you? - What are you doing?

- Are you okay? - Not at all, what's the plan?

- We're leaving. - No, don't go!

- Yes... - I got my girlfriend kidnapped, I need you.

- I beg you. - I want to leave...

No, stay! The music is good.

Stay with me, please...

I used to help out whenever I had the time.

I was working at that café by the Eiffel Tower, you know it?

Pretty shitty place.

- True, but the tips were good. - I bet!

We would go out a lot with Hamid. He was really into clubbing.

He knew everyone. He was dealing a lot. Times were good.

- You do Uber together? - No, I started driving his car when he quit.

- You met in high school? - No, he's 40, I met him at the Parc.

- The park? - Parc des Princes, the stadium!

- You're a football fan? - Totally, I got into it during the riots.

The guys were really into it. Some of my pals were part of the Ultras.

There were always fights with the fascists. That's how I met Hamid.

He had been an Ultra for years but he was also really political.

- Where is he tonight? - He doesn't go out anymore.

He's back to strict Islam. Prayer, no alcohol, you know...

- You like to dance, don't you? - Totally.

But lately I haven't enjoyed it that much.

Why not? You seemed happy.

Same thing... Everyone's wasted and you always end up babysitting your friends.

If I'm shitfaced I still try to connect with the energy of the people.

I don't buy into that anymore.

You think you connect but the next day you've forgotten all about it.

That energy you describe is so volatile, it barely even exists.

- You can feel the crowd around you. - It's mostly yourself you feel.

No, it's more than that...

By sharing the experience, you're connected to others.

We're all in this together. It empowers you, you're not alone!

- You haven't partied enough to say that. - That's bullshit...

My first time was at Rex Club. I bet the guy doesn't even remember.

It was an experience only for me.

I had taken ecstasy. Those first times, you know?

Totally.

It was fully kicking in.

Everything was a blur, it was so intense.

I started dancing with this guy. I can't even recall his face.

We went to the bathroom to do a line. Instead, we took our clothes off.

When I felt him inside me, it was so powerful I almost fainted.

It was so beautiful.

And I bet he didn't notice a thing.

That memory is just for me. It's always the same.

- What was your first time like? - I don't talk about those things.

Tell me, I told you.

I don't feel like it, not like this.

Those eyes are amazing. Is that an old painting?

- You're high, Saïd. - Seriously, it's crazy. Like a photograph.

- I love it so much. - It's really beautiful.

It's weird to hang a picture like that.

- He looks like someone I know. - Yeah? Who?

I only know the beginning.

- Thanks. - Here.

- You haven't told me what you do. - I'm a lawyer.

The type with the robe and all?

- Yeah, with the robe and all. - Nice!

- What's your speciality? - I'm a criminal lawyer.

Aren't you young?

I took the oath last year. I'm just starting.

I've been to a few trials. Cases involving cops are all hopeless.

They never get sentenced.

The law is an instrument of order, not justice.

Most of my cases involve colored people who are screwed before judgment.

Hamid received a convocation from the cops.

He went in with his djellaba and his big beard. He's cocky but he's no terrorist.

He can dress however he wants, right?

They let him go free but that same night they raided his flat.

His girlfriend was in a shock.

The amount of preventive custodies for empty cases is unbelievable.

- It's crazy... - This government has lost it.

With Hamid we want to head back South.

There's big houses with land for cheap, there.

In Paris, there aren't any options. Everyone's suffocating.

But down there, it's so beatiful!

We’ll have plenty of room for anyone who wants to join, work, grow food.

It'll be great. We'll be self-sufficient.

It’s won't be a 5 star hotel but at least it'll be ours.

Prices are okay but we're still a bit short with Hamid.

He's back to dealing and I drive his car while he's on house arrest.

That became common for Muslims after the Charlie attacks.

How many checks a day?

3 times, he can't work legally, that's why I got my licence.

- How is he hanging on? - We all support him.

It's hard but he'll make it.

He can't go to the protests but I go for the both of us.

It's crazy what's going on. It's all going to collapse.

Not at all!

From the inside, it's clear. Some people had never marched in their lives.

Now they're hurling cobblestones at the cops.

Middle-aged moms are burning cars down. It's insane!

It isn't going to change anything.

That's exactly what the government wants you to say.

You're pissed off by the situation but you don't know how to stop it.

That's what they want. If you fall for it, you're screwed.

I'm not falling for anything, but it's pointless to fight a lost battle.

It isn't like that. Ideas are great but you need to fight too.

Against what? Neoliberalism won. Most people go along with it.

- You're full of shit. - The problem is much bigger.

The system holds because at least people can go on holidays once a year.

How do you think The Paris Commune happened?

People worked day and night and still couldn't put food on the table.

Children were dying massively.

Meanwhile the upper class were feeding their dogs caviar.

That's poverty. That makes you want to kill your neighbour.

Now, our living standards have increased and we're fucked with comfort.

- Let's be real here. We both go along with it. - No, you're wrong.

If even a nice guy like you is working for Uber, then we're all fucked.

- I have my reasons. - Of course you do, we all do.

But it doesn't matter. Because mankind is structurally evil.

We naturally seek what's easiest, thus the worst. It's in our genes.

Why do you think every religion speaks of original sin?

It's hopeless. We're rotten from inside!

Just look at what the future holds. Think about our progress.

Humanity is at the peak of progress. And look at us.

We destroy everything we touch.

We know our resources are limited but everyone looks the other way.

Even the CEOs in Silicon Valley are blinded in their crappy vegan tech liberal bubble.

They're so powerful they think they can beat death. Can you imagine?

They hire lab scientists to look for ways to make us immortal.

But these lunatics forget that the Earth won’t bend to their will.

30 years from now, sea levels will have risen by 2 meters.

We'll have to evacuate Calcutta, Shanghai, Tokyo!

Nuclear plants are in ruins. Fukushima has contaminated every ocean.

Fish are filled with plastic. Supermarket food is worse than...

What happened?

The light bulb burnt out or what?

Wait for me here. I'll go check outside.

- You're not leaving? - No, don't worry!

The light went out.

Félicie!

Shit, Kasia. What the fuck are you doing here?

I'm tired.
