WILL IT SNOW FOR CHRISTMAS?

Anything up?

No. I need the orders.

Where are the kids?

Behind the hedge.

I'll finish this off myself. You can weed out the parsley till lunch.

- Got the hoes? - They're out already.

- Here... - Thank you...

Goodbye.

OK. Here's the farmer...

You can take the animals home.

Where are the Moroccans?

I sent them to weed the parsley.

Children!

Hurry up! We're going to do the onions!

Come on, Blandine!

Hello, Dad! Are there a lot?

You tired already? Get started now.

Where are you off to, Blandine?

Getting my shoes.

Bernard! Where are you off to?

Wait! I'm coming.

But it's time to eat!

Cover them in wet sacking.

- All right, pet? Is there much more? - I don't know.

Are you nearly done? It's time to eat.

About ten more crates.

I'm off. See you in a minute!

I'm starved.

- Don't! - Leave us alone.

It's ready... You must be hungry?

The light!

- You OK? - Except for Remi's allergy.

He's fine. He looks cheerful...

Don't overdo the cheese, will you?

- I wonder what lunch she's made me. - Not pasta, I bet!

That reminds me, kids. Can someone get the bread from the truck?

Shit! He'll notice if we take some.

Blandine! Pass me my tray.

- Hope it's tasty, Dad. - You're a sweetie.

You scared me, you idiot!

- I thought you'd gone up. - I'm tidying up a bit.

I'll be right up.

Marie! Time to eat! It'll go cold!

You're mad to stay in the sun! Put something on your heads!

You should let those children be.

Yvon! Where is my mother?

- Where is my mother? - Picking lettuce.

Load up. Then we'll do the lettuce.

What are you doing?

Making boats to send Bruno.

- Not with the good ones? - No. Only big fat ones.

That's OK then.

It's a nice life you lead.

You can't complain... All you do is give orders.

It's a nice life till Dad shows up... He drives us hard.

You should be glad of the work.

I want this all cleaned up.

I've finished my boat!

Me too.

Mine's going to win.

- Unless it sinks. - I doubt that.

Hey great! It's overtaking yours.

Don't push it like that.

The stupid bastards!

Shit!

You prick! You do nothing but guzzle sweets!

How am I supposed to get my field sown?

- What? - Get that pump switched off!

- I can't do everything! - Get a move on!

I will! I'm fed up with you treating us like dogs!

Did you get the boats?

Yeah, it was really nice.

You been crying?

That bastard of a Father yelled at me again.

Why?

What are we eating today?

Food is all you think about.

- It's lunchtime isn't it? - He's right, it's lunch.

- Well we're not eating yet. - Why not?

Forget it. It doesn't matter.

Here... take the bread, my hands are filthy.

I've had it. It's so hot.

Has someone got Bruno? He's watering, he won't know it's lunch.

- I'm hungry! - Where's Jeanne?

Upstairs.

But I told her to make bangers and mash.

I've only got two hands!

I'll do it. Bruno got told off by Dad.

What do you mean told off?

Feed the little ones.

What is it, chick?

What's he done now?

Nothing. I don't want to talk about it.

Try to calm down.

But Mum... I've had enough. Why can't we leave here?

- You don't know how he treats us. - I know darling...

Sometimes, I think we should leave too. But what would we do?

Live in a council flat?

This way, you all live in the country.

That's what you always say! But we'd manage. I'd go to work and Jeanne too.

Don't be silly! I know you'd help...

but it's not as easy as you think. The others are only little.

We'll stay for now...

We'll never leave. You always forget...

I'll be right back.

Mum! Where are you going?

That's enough now... You're not to mess with my kids or else...

- Did you hear what I said? - What's got into her?

You can prance around with your sweethearts...

but don't touch my kids, no way!

Look at her, she's crazy! He's a good-for-nothing anyway.

If you don't stop getting at them, I'll...

What about you lot? Don't you have anything to say?

You're shitting yourselves.

It's your business.

That's enough now. Cool off outside. No orphan is bossing me around.

Mum! Stop!

- He's pathetic. - Keep out of this!

A man needs peace and quiet to eat in.

Yvon, close the window.

The woman's loony.

Father said you were to do the tomatoes this afternoon.

Mum...

I've had enough. I'm tired.

Me too, pet.

There's the tractor.

Well done!

Your bastards kill themselves so you can coin it.

Come on Bernard! Get up here!

Paul! Blandine! T-shirts off so you can wash.

Look, they're all clean.

Let me have a go.

Ouch! It hurts.

Give me the brush.

- Here. - Thanks.

Hey! It's cold!

Feels really good.

Right. That's it.

Come and dry yourselves.

- Is Remi alone? - He's just gone to sleep.

- You can go. - What about this?

Good night!

Blandine, give us a hug.

I don't want to.

Freedom at last.

My turn Paul!

Go on there!

A kid like you.

I'm not a kid any more.

In Mexico, I'm a man, I work and I drink.

Pierrot, switch the light on!

Where's Marie?

- Stay with me. - I'm right here. Hurry up.

Marie, we're going to bed.

I'm coming!

Find somewhere further... It'll stink on the stone.

She's scared of the dark.

- Mum, they're teasing me. - She's a scaredy-cat.

Yeah, she's scared.

If you think you're clever, all pissing round that tree.

It kills the ants.

Have you been working at Cavaillon long?

Me, two weeks... and Brigitte since yesterday.

Do you like the work?

Yeah, it's OK. It's cool.

He's cool all right, when girls are around.

- What do you do normally? - We're students.

Are all these children yours?

There he goes again!

He can't help it, it's part of his charmer act.

- Do you like the work? - Yes.

Honey, I've an order for parsley. Can you get it?

You know how... They can do the radishes.

- Why is it always Mum out in the fields? - Mind your own business.

Get out of here!

Wait for me! I'm coming.

- Don't get in the way. - Leave me alone, the lot of you.

- See how your mother treats you? - It's your fault!

What's the matter?

- That's Dad! - Bye darling. Have a nice Sunday.

Yvon will get the parsley.

We'll count up and call it a day, pet.

- I'll get the parsley and we'll be off. - Let me pay the workers.

OK, see you in a minute.

It's all there.

I've got your envelope. I'll bring it over and you can sign for it.

- Are we eating soon? - Yes.

47 hours minus deductions,

minus the week's bread. You can check it.

When the bills are paid, there won't be much left.

We don't charge for electricity.

That's big of you! Dad's always reminding us we don't pay for electricity.

Well, it's something.

All right, Bruno. Let's not start.

Did you sleep well, my duck?

You slept in today.

The others have been up for ages.

We're ready, Mum.

Coming. Put the blankets out.

Get your skates on. We're doing gym.

Come on, Mum!

One, two, three, four, five...

You've got to go lower.

Tired already?

Now lie down...

and breathe!

Right.

Go on, Bruno. You show them.

It's hard.

Go on. Ready?!

Mum! You look lovely!

You look lovely, Mum.

Stop it.

I'm going shopping, I won't be long.

Put the blankets away or they'll think we're mad.

You're so ugly, poor you.

I don't care.

Mum doesn't like you.

Yes she does! You're teasing!

That's the game, silly!

You're a real tomboy.

So what?

- You can't even make her cry. - With you, it'd be easier.

You're a real cry-baby.

There's Mum. I can see her car.

You won, Blandine.

Don't laugh, you've got no teeth.

Yes, I have.

It's probably Dad. He called this morning.

Who else could it be?

What is it?

Rubbish!

As if I had time for that.

You coming up?

You look tired.

How about a nap?

She's fine where she is. She's resting.

Let Mum do as she pleases.

What a pest!

You took your time getting over your sulk.

You've got a cheek!

You can't say I bear a grudge, not with all I put up with.

What's the fuss? Don't you like it here?

Sure. I'm on my own all the time.

You're not alone... You've got the children.

That's not what I mean.

We'd better not talk about it, or we'll fight.

If you were going to help, you'd have done it long ago.

Help how?

I don't believe this. You won't even give us an inside toilet.

In winter, this house is nothing but draughts.

Forget it.

I've given up on you.

I don't know why I'm still here.

You love me. You can't bring yourself to leave.

One day I'll stop loving you.

Don't be stupid.

Here we go again.

You're always complaining.

I don't want them going there. Find someone else.

It's only two or three days. It'll be a holiday.

Some holiday! It's not right they should go there.

I've got no-one else.

Mum! Where are you?

- Who's that? - Me!

What do you want, my pet?

Nothing. Come out.

Just a minute.

- What is it? - I want you to stay with me.

Can't I have two minutes' peace? Come on. Where are the others?

Outside. We'll go to Cavaillon if you want.

We'll see. He might change his mind.

They're pretty, your houses.

Has Mum said you're coming to Cavaillon to plant cabbage?

We know.

Why is it always us? I don't want to go.

Why do you always go in the back? You'd be better off in the cab.

Bye Pierrot!

- Already! - Yes, already.

What's in your bag?

Mum gave us a change of clothes.

Is there much to unload?

The truck's full.

- You're late. - I was waiting for the parsley.

- OK? - Yes.

How are you, children?

You must be starving.

Come on. We're going to eat.

Sit here, little ones.

- The cabbages done? - Yes.

- Do you want some soup? - No. I'm fine!

Have some of this with me.

Is there much to unload?

The truck's full.

Eat up, kids. It's good, isn't it?

Yeah, delicious.

- Aren't you eating, Blandine? - I'm not very hungry.

- What's wrong? - Nothing.

Without her Mum, she's always ill.

Sleep well.

Stop it, you're tickling!

Time to sleep, children.

Good night.

Can you say good night again?

I've already said it.

I know but Mum always says it to me last.

I won't sleep otherwise.

Good night then.

All set. The bread's in the truck.

I'd better go, I'm late as it is.

There's a bag for Yvon and Bernard. You left it behind last time.

If it's not in the truck, how can I remember it?

Bye then!

- Are they managing? - Sure.

Any messages for your mother?

- We love her and send a big kiss. - Me too.

See you tonight.

Can we eat some grapes, Dad?

When you've finished.

Stop it!

My tummy hurts. I've had too many.

Me too. My tummy's about to explode.

Hello, children... What are you up to?

Eating grapes.

Those grapes are green. You'll get a tummy ache.

Where are your parents?

My Dad's here. These grapes are his.

I know the neighbours. They haven't got any children your age.

Goodbye, children.

Know what, Dad? The neighbour didn't believe we were your children.

She must have thought we were thieves.

Why? What were you doing?

Nothing. Eating grapes.

And what did you tell her?

That Dad was our Dad too.

You've been told to say you're cousins here for the holidays.

Why should we?

Why not? I tell people I'm an aunt.

It's not funny. Bastards should be kept hidden.

Don't listen. She doesn't mean it.

She's mad! Eat up before it gets cold.

Shut the door!

Don't! It's not dry yet.

- How's my favourite girl? - OK.

You're a real little housewife.

I'm sick of killing myself for others.

Better here than out in the fields.

Here, take this. You deserve it.

- Don't tell anyone. - Thanks.

Thanks a lot!

- Look at that! - What?

That's what a customer did, he stuck it under my nose.

"Call that a lettuce?" he said.

Right in front of everyone.

Yvon, see how the lettuce is picked? You'll be the ruin of me.

Don't pick those, they're not sellable.

You shithead! Weren't you there too?

Do your job. It's not me picking the small ones... you can sort it out.

- Get them packed, quick! - Shithead!

Nineteen... Twenty... Coming!

I'm coming out!

Saw you, Blandine! You're such a scaredy-cat, you shouldn't play.

I think they're having fireworks in town tonight.

Did you hear that?

- I love them. - The high ones are better.

Look! Streamers!

And umbrellas!

Hurry up! Mum's coming.

Come on, hurry. We'll be late.

Bruno and Jeanne nearly missed the bus this morning.

Paul, come here.

You're all undone...

and dirty.

Pierrot, your jacket.

Get the satchels.

Are you ready?

I am, I'm ready.

Pierrot, Marie... the trunk, quick.

Hurry, Blandine.

Cheer up, school's better than working in the fields.

What about you?

Don't be silly. I'm not lost. I've got to work.

Wait for me!

Turn it on. We can turn it off in summer.

You're obsessed.

It's quiet here. Where are the kids?

School. In case you hadn't noticed, school's started.

Feels empty without them. Here!

I've finished.

How would you manage without all your kids?

Come here, baby, come to Daddy.

If you give up bread on the very first day...

I'm off.

Half of them are rotten!

Leave the rotten ones and take the good ones.

Boys!

Stop it, it's bedtime. They're in such a state!

If you're not in bed when I come, I warn you...

I'm tired!

Go on, Mum!

I warned you!

His bum's showing!

- I have to get up there. - It doesn't matter.

Sleep tight, eagle mine.

Sleep tight, my lion.

What are you doing here?

Go on!

Back to bed!

I want you to sleep now.

- 'Night, my duck. - 'Night, Mum.

I'm king of the animals. I'm the strongest.

An eagle's stronger than a lion.

Not again. Go to sleep. You're all the strongest and the best.

'Night, Mum.

'Night, pet.

Jeanne, hurry up.

Go on, Bruno.

That's enough. It's my turn.

It's my turn, I said.

- I'm not finished. - You've been hours.

That's enough. It's his turn, Jeanne. In five minutes, I'm starting the car.

You must have a boyfriend.

Everyone else's got a bathroom.

Of course I'm slow, heating the water every morning.

Well, that's just the way it is.

Hurry up, I'll wait in the car.

We're coming.

I hope it's still there.

- There it is! - Ciao, Mum!

Hurry! I'll come for you or send someone.

I'll be on the 7 o'clock bus.

See you tonight.

We can't sow anything in this weather.

It looks pretty bad.

Are you ready? Give me the trunk.

Keep the oilskin.

- Are you clean at least? - Spotless!

Are you spotless too?

I hope you won't get soaked. The sheet's on the scales.

See you tonight.

I bet they'll laugh in school when they see you come in.

You'll do the laughing. It's all you can do.

I said nothing. I'll drop you if you like.

- It's more fun like this. - More funny, more like.

Bloody rain!

Come and make me a coffee.

Come on, then.

They'll finish up.

When you're done, Yvon, bring the truck up.

All right.

Hurry UP-

The house is even more of a dump in this rain.

We can't help it if it's raining.

Go and play upstairs, it's quieter.

Upstairs is no good.

Play on the floor then.

Play on the floor.

Move back, Blandine, you're too near.

It's OK, Pierrot, I've got one.

I made you a lovely bunch of kids.

- Where's the toddler? - Upstairs with Jeanne.

- Wasn't she coming home late? - I'm here.

- Didn't you do cheerleading? - I didn't feel like it.

- You're not sick? - No.

- Is Remi asleep? - Yes, I put him down.

It's nice when there's a bit of quiet here.

You're nicely off here.

A bit damp.

I'd stay if I could.

Give us a break!

You always say that and you always go home.

What were you saying?

I was saying how, winter or summer, he was always cheerful.

You can take her if you want. I don't mind.

You're crazy you are, if a person can't say someone's cheerful.

We'll go to the farm. The tractor's there.

Be careful!

He didn't do it on purpose.

Bastard!

- You're nuts! - Take that back!

- All right? - Yes.

Get lost.

What's got into you? What's with the violence?

He called my brother a bastard.

They're mates. He was a bit miffed, that's all.

I was a bit "miffled" too.

Come on, let's have a chat.

You still here then?

- I'm waiting for Blandine. - Here she is then... Go home now.

Bye, Sir.

- How was school? - Fine. We did painting.

- Is that it? - No. Sums too.

You always the last?

Course. Satchels are heavy.

- Hi, Dad! - Where have you been?

Blandine had a fight with my mate.

I really thumped him.

Watch it, Paul. It's going everywhere.

Let's go and see Mum.

That's right. You and go see your Mum.

Watch her, 'cos one day you're going to come home and find no one there.

She's capable of abandoning you, the whore.

Don't listen! That isn't true. Don't tell Mum, it'd upset her.

I'm getting changed.

- You coming to see Mum? - No I'll stay here.

I just want to see the little houses.

What happened today, Bernard?

Hello, chicks. Is school over then?

- Have you nearly finished? - Another hour or so.

Do you want a hand?

Go in to Remi, you'll be more comfy.

We'll play here and wait for you.

- Shall we see Remi? - OK.

How was school? What did you do?

Maths and French.

And Geography.

- It's cold. - Shall I warm you up?

No, it's OK. Give it here.

No.

Stop it!

Shit! My mother!

What are you doing there? Who's with Remi?

The little ones are.

- What about homework? - Done.

Me too.

He made us do the leeks, then he didn't take them.

The truck's full. We're planning ahead.

Well, my duck? Not too cold? At least the rain's stopped.

Get out! Piss off! I don't want you here.

What's wrong?

Get out! Piss off I said. Can't you hear?

What is this?

Look at him playing the innocent...

You're disgusting! Making a pass at your own daughter!

What's she said? I'll show her!

You'll show her nothing! We're getting out of here.

See? You've woken the baby.

Maybe it'd be better if he never woke again. This is a madhouse.

Go on then! Take the brats. I'm sick of you and your kids.

If you leave, I'll damage the lot of you.

Hello.

Hello, how are you?

How are you now it's cold out in the fields?

Oh, I'm used to it.

You're amazing, I don't how you do it but I've never seen kids...

talk about their Mum so much.

- You're all that counts. - That's nice to hear.

Did they say the Christmas tombola is on Saturday afternoon?

Will you come?

- I doubt it. - Why not? We never see you.

You should go out.

We'll see.

Bye now, I've lots more to get.

- See you on Saturday maybe. - Maybe.

Do you want a hand with the toys?

They shouldn't have been by the pipe.

They could have chosen somewhere out of our way.

Wherever they find to play,

you always manage to drive a tractor through.

You try telling Father we can't because that's where the kids play.

You'll see what he says.

You think we enjoy taking their houses down?

All I know is you're the same as he is,

mean and selfish. You think about nothing but work and money.

- We can't help it. - You just do as Father says.

I'd rather trample them myself.

Stop sulking, will you? I've had enough.

You're behaving like a madwoman.

Can I have a coffee, please?

I need to get warm.

You too, before going out into the fields.

All right, duck?

Did you hear me?

You won't get warm here, it's as cold inside as out.

Just stop it!

Want to stay here without servicing me?

Got someone else to fuck?

Your kids are the same... Her on the couch, Bernard is with her.

Couldn't you find something else?

Get them married, their names are different.

Is that why you tried sleeping with your daughter?

You're mental!

Where are you off to?

Put that back where you found it. It's wood for Cavaillon.

Mum has run out. It's just for tonight.

Chop your own. Go on!

Yvon! When are you and Bernard off?

Not tonight. He's unwell and I'm tired.

- What's wrong with him? - Headache.

Well, put the tractors away.

See you tomorrow.

Tell Mum we'll be there for lunch!

Oh, I was forgetting.

I bought you this.

I have to run.

There's an envelope in the wardrobe. You can replace the TV.

Merry Christmas then.

Oranges smell lovely when they burn.

Bruno, we'll have to replace the wood.

Chop some tomorrow, I don't want to owe him.

He won't know. He was only shouting 'cos he saw me take it.

His heart is made of stone.

My Dad's the happiest memory I have.

Not that I saw much of him.

I remember going to where he worked, in the tapestry workshops.

I can see him explaining how tapestry works.

The designs, the colours...

Then nothing. I never saw him again.

War... the orphanage...

Wait. I'm going to Mum.

When I met Dad, it was strange:

a married man... not a good start.

But we were very in love.

He told me about this farm he'd bought,

we were going to farm it together

- and have lots of children. - That bit was true at least.

What was that dream about children?

I've told you dozens of times...

Please. I can't remember it.

Mum, you've got to. The TV's broken.

Well...

One night, I was sixteen,

I dreamt I was meeting God

in a cave. It was full of light.

Did you see his face?

You can't see God's face. I could hear him.

I went up to him and started by saying hello

and he stopped me right there

and said no, you can't talk to God like that, it's not right.

Suddenly, I see this huge fat woman ahead of me,

really huge,

and God says

right, you and this woman are going to have a race.

If you win, I'll let you go.

If not, I'm going to punish you.

So I look at this huge woman and I think

in the time it takes to get that fat moving, I'll be home and dry.

The race begins.

Oddly, she starts running like an antelope.

She wins the race and vanishes.

So...

God comes and says

right, you've lost.

Your punishment is, you'll have seven children.

And so here you are.

- That dream is brilliant. - Yes. It is.

Anyway, what matters is I've got you here with me.

They're not separating you, they're not taking you away.

Why do you say that, Mum?

No reason, pet.

I must have been scarred by the orphanage.

Let's set up the manger.

He's tired.

Jeanne!

Where's the tape?

The tape?

Jeanne's got it.

On the couch.

Paul, get me one of the tinsel garlands.

Put it on the TV, that one.

Put it on the TV.

Put them on the tree. The baubles are better.

There's a big one.

Heave-ho, here we go!

- You going to Cavaillon? - Yes, before the snow comes.

Rubbish. It won't.

You'll see. Tomorrow you'll be snowed under.

Do you think it'll snow too?

Might do. It's still too warm. It needs to get colder.

Don't spoil it for them.

Have a nice party. Merry Christmas!

- You can take his wood. - We chop our own now.

Merry Christmas!

- Am I bothering you? - Not at all. This is a surprise!

- Nothing wrong I hope? - No.

Come in!

It doesn't matter.

- Where are the kids? - Upstairs with Marie.

Help me unload.

- What's under there? - Presents... The little ones mustn't see.

Look at all this! You're mad, Mum. You've spent a fortune.

- Did you buy the heater? - I borrowed it from school.

I recognize it.

You'll have to help me carry it up.

I've got one. What's green and hops from one branch to another?

- A chameleon! - A pea!

No idea. What is it?

Chewing-gum stuck on Tarzan's bum.

I've got one! Two skunks bump into each other

and one says to the other, skunks "skink".

- Tell us the one about monkeys. - It's useless.

- Go on. - OK then.

This farmer, he decides to buy an animal.

He goes to market and sees a monkey for sale, so he buys it.

He lets it run free, till one day it brings home a gold coin.

Come on, get a move on.

We're half asleep!

So he asks it where the coin came from. He goes to see...

He follows it... he investigates...

Let him tell it. Go on.

Forget it!

I've got one!

What colour was Henry IV's white horse?

White!

Who wants a drop of bubbly?

Look how much we've had!

- Mum's all tipsy. - That's what's fun.

It's a party isn't it?

- What are you doing? - Bubbly's better than water.

Stop it. I'm not an alcoholic.

Paul, sing the lad's song.

Tomorrow morning, laddie

your slippers will be full

of all the toys you've ever dreamt of.

Now, laddie, it's time for bed.

Your eyes are drowsy.

Listen to the stars.

All is quiet and peaceful.

Can you hear the bells tinkle?

Here's to the wind... Here's to the wintry wind.

Snowballs and big flakes, and Happy New Year, granny.

Monday in the sun.

Stop it!

I've got a Christmas song!

I long for tomorrow to come

to see if you've brought me

all the toys I see in my dreams,

all the toys I asked you for.

- Dear Father... - Not that'.!

I'm off to bed. Remember to put out your shoes and snuff the candles.

Stop it!

Oh, brilliant!

Great! We're all sleeping here.

Are the boys sleeping in here?

I put the heating on, it'll keep us warm.

Good idea.

Except we'll stink, they're animals at night, that lot.

- Is it snowing? - No!

- Not even a flake? - Nothing.

The sky's cloudy, there are no stars. That's all.

- That's a shame! - It'd be great if we were snowed under.

Get your pyjamas on.

And there's heating. This is great.

It's better here. It was freezing there.

Too true.

I'm turning the light out. Too bad about the snow.

Good night, darlings.

'Night, Mum.

It was brilliant, Mum. It must have cost a fortune.

It's Christmas. 'Night, my darlings.

- 'Night, Mum. - 'Night, pet.

Wake up! It's snowing! It's snowing!

Paul! Get up! Quick!

Come on! It's snowing hard. Get up! Get dressed!

Paul! Wake up! It's snowing.

Put on your cardigan.

Oh look. It's snowing.

It's snowing, it's all white.

Look out of the window, it's all white.

Your coats and hats!

Go out and play in the yard.

Look at the snow.

Look, it's all white.

Can you see it?

It's lovely.

Down comes the snow,

You shall not come tonight,

Down comes the snow,

And my heart is clad in black.

This silken procession

made of white tears.

A bird on the branch

mourns the magic spell.

You shall not come tonight,

So says my despair.

But down comes the snow,

a frozen merry-go-round.

...To my mother
