friendship looks on respectfully.

Alex?

Where you been?

You following me?
- No one can follow you.

You recognized me!

We all could've died
for what you cared.

Coming or going?

I'm never quite sure.

Just came ashore.

Your mom? And sister?

You shouldn't have come back.

Yup...

bad timing.

Go on, beat it. It's bad luck.

I'm sorry I came back, too.

Too late!

Didn't notice the time.
Been waiting long?

Hi, Alfa.

Hi, Sis.

Don't recognize your old flame?

Jean-Louis?

Did you bring him back?

Just luck, Mom.

No kiss?

I can't believe it!

Is this some pilgrimage?

Thought I'd never see you again.

You can pour out your hearts later.
Let's go!

Well, come on.

Back on shore already?

Yup.

I sank the ship.

But didn't go with it!

The whole town'll know you're back.

Anyway...

they love bad news.

Fuck off!

When'll you learn to shut up?

You loved Jean-Louis once.

I was 16, Alex.
Can't you understand?

16 when he arrived,
but 20 when he left.

I want to make one thing clear.

I'm done supporting you.

How's business?

Fewer and fewer guests every year.

Tourists expect
more and more comforts.

Private bathrooms, French cuisine...

But tell me about you.

How long's it been, ten years?
- No, nine.

What've you been doing?

Lots of things.

But not what I'd dreamed.

I often thought of you.

We should forget bad memories.

Good ones even more.

What's up?

Work. The house is a wreck.

I just got here.

That's no excuse.

Get Jean-Louis to help.

Such a handsome guy,

so good with his hands.

Sure, let others work!

Tell me the truth.

Did you really ship out
or just take a sail?

Stuck it out for 3 weeks.

Dead drunk half the time.

Besides that,

what did you do?

Yes...

I missed you.

Don't I get a kiss?

No, Alex, don't start.

Stop pretending you're heartless.

I know you too well.

Forgive me.

Hello, Mme Huot.

This is my brother.

He's the sailor.

Do you have a brother who isn't?

No, he's my only one.

I'm sometimes
the one who sets sail,

sometimes
the one who doesn't.

We met before, didn't we?

Not last summer.

Two or three years ago.

Are you an amateur musician?

I heard you talking.
One can't help it.

Thought it was a new guest.

I don't mind.

I like it here
because it's so quiet.

Coming, Valerie?

Mme Huot! Dinner time already?

No, I came down to meet your son.

Well, come in.

Are you a sailor, too?

Jean-Louis is an old friend.

Mme Huot's staying with us.

Here...

pour us a drink.

I come back and nothing.

I've some wine.
You must be hungry.

Starving.
- What can I make?

Let me, Mom.

It's you party.
You were gone longer than me.

What a team we four'd make!

We could live high.

A tight little ship.

No boss,

no captain.

I'm a pretty good cook.

With you and Alfa as waiters,

Mom could take it easy.

Just us four.

No employees.

We share the profits.

Like a cooperative.

Thought it over...

while I was away.

Before...

us three-it never worked.

You can't keep on alone, Mom.

You're killing yourself.

Give me a cigarette, Alfa.

You smoke?

I'd forgotten.

Only on special occasions.

You're falling asleep.

Don't sleep, Jean-Louis.

Don't sleep.

We should go to bed.

We should go dancing.

Hit all the hotels.

Or, I know... go to the cape
and wait for sunrise.

Huh, Mom?

You miss me, Mom?

Here we go...

You haven't asked how it went.

You'll tell me tomorrow.

Don't know how long I'll stay.

You're not even all back.

Play some piano.

And ruin the evening?

Don't move!

Any of you!

Maybe he's right.

Last time I watched the sunrise,
I was pregnant with you.

You were still in love.

Gotta be in love to do that.

Or maybe just love life.

I hope you didn't
really want to sleep.

Léo Ferré, The Crows.

You used to choose the music.

You're beautiful, Mom.

Can't understand
why Dad didn't love you.

Leave the dead in peace!

C'mon, Alex. Let's dance.

Coming, Jean-Louis?

Don't worry, Mme Huot.

A family affair. It's over now.

I can still make a bed.

You don't need anyone, I know.

And I didn't notice
your bloodshot eyes.

Tell Jean-Louis it's ready.

I bet he's proud of us.

You proud of sonny boy?

Kick the bum out!
- Don't talk like that.

I should just shut up.

All I do is bitch.

Or clam up, like you.

When will you let go?

If he wants
to sink the ship, let him.

I won't kick him out.

Talk to him like a man.

You talk to me as if I were one.

You're solid as rock.
- I had no choice.

What would you do?

You give him half your pay,

let him take off in your car...

and sleep in your bed.
- I'm his sister, not mother.

Was I that rotten a mother?

If you know your stars,
you're never lost.

Looking for Aldebaran?

I dunno.

Not my thing.
- It's easy.

Aldebaran... Just look
for the prettiest one.

Aldebaran,
constellation Taurus...

Not as bright
as Betelgeuse in Orion...

Or maybe it's the opposite.

I forget.

You don't talk much.

Yeah... if you don't talk,
you don't talk shit.

Right, go to bed.
I'll talk to the stars.

So what
if I can't tell them apart?

You won't have nightmares.

I'll have them all for you.

I made up your room.

Remember?

This one?
- Yes.

You OK?

Yes. Good night.

No.

It's the right room.

You wouldn't
be able to sleep, either.

I'll shut up if you like.

I don't want to be alone.

Come here.

You're not the way I remember.

Can't remember how I saw you.

The way I was 10 years ago.

The way you never were.

When I think of all my boyfriends...

they were a lot
more handsome than you.

And you're laughing.
- Yeah, at myself.

I'd convinced myself

I was in love with you.

You didn't even notice.

Alex knew, though.

I wish I were like him.

What if I'd moved away?

I never wanted to leave.

You should run the inn.

Try telling her that.

You dating anyone?

Dozens.

My boyfriends and Alex's girls
would fill up the town.

It's him you've always loved.

Figure that out yourself?

Everyone seems to know
what love is.

Just once I'd like to see

people who are in love.

Not just pretend, not just screw.

I hope you've nothing to hide

cause he always finds your wounds.

Know what I think?

I think my brother's sick.

No, I think

he's dying...

if he's not already dead.

Sometimes I want
to take him in my arms...

...and smother him.

Alex?

Mom, wake up.

We have to go.

What are you doing?
Go back to bed.

No, there's no time to sleep.

I came to get you.

It's over, we have to go.

Where'd we go?

The world's a big place.

In the middle of the night?
I'd have to get ready.

Don't worry, I'll defend you.

We can't just leave Alfa.
What's the rush?

We're being buried alive.
We have to wake up!

Alex, get a hold of yourself.

I can't leave you.
The house is on fire.

Stop it!

Stop, you're crazy!

Alfa!

Mom, why are you screaming?

Don't scream, I'm here.

Let go, you're hurting me.

Mom, I'm here.

Alex!

Let him go! Stay out of it!

He's just tired, exhausted.

It's OK, Jean-Louis.

It's OK.

You still here?

Alfa!

You've got the wrong inn.

Go back to bed.

My son was sick, he's fine now.

Everything's fine.

Go to sleep. Forget it.

Please.

Jeanne...
- No!

Not now.

Is it cold?

Freezing.

It can wash a life clean.

Should try it.

I heard you playing.

Nice little boat, huh?

See if it'll float?

Sail away, my ship.

Happiness

awaits me yonder.

You never know.

In three months,
on a Newfoundland beach

a little boy who dreams

of being a musician...

Just imagine
when he sees it swept ashore.

I could've spent my life on a boat.

Just like my dad.

Never had
the shit beaten out of me.

It could happen

if I keep trying.

If that's your goal in life.

And where are you now?

A little family or divorced...

devoted father-
looking after your Mom?

Or nursing a heartache,
like all of us?

As if it interested you.

You never know.

Maybe I'm not the only fool.

Didn't you own a garage?
- Yeah,

but I sold it

and the tow-truck, race car,
motorcycle, wind surfer...

I left my brother,
his wife, my clients...

And I took the cash.

Life's so short.

Maybe you haven't noticed.

I feel free.

Free, for the first time
in my life.

Oh yeah?

Where's that,

freedom?

Mine costs plenty.

I told you, I have cash.

Need some?

Why'd I ship out?

Not to be like my dad.

No, cause I'm as dumb as you.

I thought freedom existed.

I travelled,

but not how you think.

If you have that much cash to lose,
I can help, and fast.

How long have you been on dope?

You're not so dumb.

Don't worry.

I can go clean.

That's why I came back.

Till the place gets to me.

But I can't go back
where I've been.

Might get my legs broken.

Aren't you pushing it?

Next time
I may come back in pieces.

How much do you owe?

Don't know how much

or to who.

Gotta be more to life.

You agree?

Gotta be more.

We made a mistake.

It's the same all over.

The same, I swear.

Alex!

Don't worry about me.

I'm just dangerous.

Anyway...

I'm not worth it.

I thought this was
a respectable home.

I won't charge you, alright?

Here's the balance.

Including the next two days.

Valerie...

Hello.

So you had a little concert?

We went to sea and found this
floating in the waves.

Sure, talk like him,

encourage his crazy dreams.

That charming little bastard.

He never pays his bill, but...

Look at you!
Always protecting him.

Right, I'm crazy too.

Where you going?

It so happens I work.

Yes, sir. Waitress in the day,
barmaid at night.

Lucky, huh?

Even danced topless,
when that was in.

Oh yeah?

Desjardins wrote a song about me.

Gogo dancer must go on,
even when it's dead.

That was me.

They've forgotten me...

The good old days.

Poor Jean-Louis missed out.

Come back too late.

It's never too late.

Alex!

Everyone's decided
to play restaurant?

You believe it?

What?

I stopped believing long ago.

That your son is suddenly
interested in the inn.

It won't last.

You should know.

We'll see.

Look at it as an investment.
We're renovating.

If I sell, it'll be worth more.

My God! Are you hurt?

Somebody, help me!

My God, I can't remember!

I can't play!
- Mom!

Stay here.

Don't go.

I forgot to tell you,
it doesn't work. It's blocked.

It was a good idea.

We'll have to repaint now.

I was always afraid of a fire.

But I'd rather see the house burn

than give it up.

I can imagine it.

I'm sitting on a chair on the lawn

watching the flames.

Do you hear the horse?

A lost horse

on the ocean.

A storm horse.

Easy.

Easy, handsome beast.

There's been a war.

Time has stopped.

We're alone on earth.

The last humans.

That's it, fellow.

We've been waiting for you.

Four Winds' Inn

A fine sight!

Seen yourself?

How many are they?

What?

In the car.

There's a man getting out.

He alone?

I dunno, I can't see inside.

Think it's for you?

Let them look!

What a surprise!
I'm happy to see you.

Let me give you a kiss.

We missed you last year.

My wife died.

She'd been very ill.

Yes, I know.

Sorry. Come inside.

One of the family?

Sort of, not really.

Everyone's related out here.

I spent many summers here.
We'd come by train.

I was here
the summer you did

that drawing.

A long time ago.

Things have changed.

At least 15 years.

Fourteen.

I went for a walk before.
They cut down the apple trees.

I travel alone now.

It's easier.

Same trendy co-op?

Well count me out.

We're looking for
a more-equitable method

to share profits...

four ways.

In case it interests you...

and Jean-Louis.

And in case it interests your son
more than two days.

All this is fine, but...

you need to invest.

Renovate, modernise,
make it a real hotel.

Not just dust off the place.

You tell her,
she won't listen to me.

It'll take money,
and Mom doesn't have a cent.

Alex either.

I do, but I want to invest
in a sure thing

or something I own.

I can borrow.

You're mortgaged
up to the lightning rod!

I could put in about $10,000.

Well if you want
to throw your money away...

Unless it's out of charity.

But I don't think
Mom's ready for that.

There, I said it.

I haven't gone further in years.

And the notary?
- No.

I changed my mind.

Alfa's right.

I've never thought
of my home as a hotel.

If it were run like a real inn...

...I couldn't stand it.

Thanks, Jean-Louis.

If I ever have trouble
paying the mortgage

and you're still willing

I'll accept your help.

I promise.

When I saw you and Alex here

I thought it was a sign.

You'd come back
to get things going.

I don't know why you came back,

but it wasn't for the inn.

So let's wait till fall.

We can always
talk business then.

Tell me the truth, Mme O'Neill.

So I'm Mme O'Neill now?

You're much older
than Alex, too.

How'd you like it
if he called you Sir?

Gimme a beer. Just one.

Do I have to ask in English?

Don't you see?

You're like a live grenade.

Even one beer's too much,
and I won't give it to you.

Ask one of your old girlfriends,
they're all here.

I came to see you.
- Joe won't like this.

Here, pal.

This one's on me.

Wilfred!

Anyone ask you?

Leave your sister alone.
She's always real busy.

Why, my guardian angel.

Get him out of here.

Don't need no angel,
I'm already in heaven.

Bet you just happened
to drop by.

No, you were looking for me.
Or, even better,

you came to get me.
Someone called.

Wonder who it was.

Do you know Wilfred?
Wilfred, Jean-Louis...

Jean-Louis, Wilfred.

Wilfred wants to be my in-law.

Incredible.
He's in love with my sister.

But she's in love with you.

I don't care, I'm in love
with everyone... 'cept Wilfred.

You're in love with me, are you?

Cause if you are

we're up shit creek.

An' you'll be real unhappy.

Look...

Look at my guardian angel.

Don't know what's wrong.

He looks so unhappy.

Problem with you is

you're full of hot air.

Think you're something,

but you're the biggest
asshole around.

Does your guardian angel know?

That you can't get it up,
so you play the stud.

You're right.

I am an asshole.

Alfa likes you.

It's OK.

You, out! Always raising hell!

I'll boot your ass.

Alex!

Get back, you scumbag!

Did I hurt your sweetie?

Get him out.

And you, don't move!

Everyone knows I've kept my job

by letting you feel me up!

You didn't mind.

You make me sick!

I don't need you now.

I could buy this shithouse.

Good money in whoring.

OK...

who wants their face
rearranged by a whore?

Alex, come on!
Come on.

I'm sorry, Alfa.

I didn't want this.

His nose broken?

Look, I'll see you later.

Say something.

It wasn't your fault.

Go away, Jean-Louis.

Don't look at me.

Go away!

Lift up your head. Don't move.

Take me dancing.

I won't look at the other girls.

Take me dancing.

Maybe there's
a Richard Desjardins show.

Don't leave!

Outside I saw a sky so hard

that the birds were dropping.

Never take anyone's hand.

Didn't light a fire all winter.

Pardon me?

Oh, nothing.

Did you ever consider
remarrying?

I can't imagine doing that twice.

Does that mean you weren't...

No, our marriage was very happy.

A drink?

On the house.

I should go to sleep.

None for me, Jeanne.

I may not see you tomorrow,
I'm leaving early.

Already?
- I stayed longer

than planned.

Will you be back?

Of course.

You scared me!

I saw you two in the car.

You were beautiful.

And you, you wanted
to be him or me?

You're lucky.

I'm dead.
- Are you dead

or is it killing you?

It's killing me.

What do you want?

Sleep with you.
- I'm not sleepy.

Go to bed,
make love with you.

Because it's easier with me?

Because you can't love me.

You already did.

Making love without love

you kill your life
and lose your heart.

You lose the best of love.

Hold me in your arms.

I already am.

Hold me in your arms.

What is it?

You're not yourself.

I'm thinking of us in 20 years.

You, an old maid,
me, an old crazy...

living alone
in the same goddamn house.

Don't worry, Mom.

That'll never happen.

I feel like tearing it all up.

Like some help?

Where do we start?

Don't you have to work?

I got myself laid off.

No, not quite.

I told'em to fuck off.

I'd like to tell'em
fuck off, too.

In your mouth it sounds awful.

What will you do?

Work with you guys...

for a while.

Long as we can stand each other.

Say something, you're scaring me.

I know you won't tell me
what happened to Alex.

He took on all the world's
idiots again, that's all.

C'mon.

C'mon.

If the weather clears,
some guests may show up.

We better get ready.

Are you serious about Jean-Louis?

Really want to know?

Not disturbing you, I hope?
No, don't get up.

You see, we're moving.
I'm the new manager.

We can't afford to lodge
employees in private rooms.

So all the staff...

No, personnel
move to the attic.

'Cept the owner, of course.ÃŽ

Nothing to move.

Yeah, he arrived with no luggage.

The day you come.

The day you come, the day you come,
don't bring any luggage.

For why should I care
what's inside?

I'll know you
by reading your face.

So long, so long
have I longed for you.

I should go through
your father's things. Give them away

or throw them out.

OK, Dad, the attic for you.
Long overdue, too.

Goodness!

I haven't seen this photo in ages.

Your son's the spitting image
of your husband.

Ever notice, Mom?

I told you, he's his dad's son.

Pack it all up.

A captain's jacket.

Try it on.

Please take that off.

Alex?

Don't look at me.

Often, if I'd listened to myself

I'd have come home
with a bloody nose, too.

But I never went out.

Still, I saw
that life's unfair.

Unfair for everyone.

For some more than others.

Watching TV,
I want to stay here.

What is it?

You don't owe me a thing.

I haven't been unhappy.

Me neither.

I'm not unhappy.

Find your life, hurry.

I'm big enough to live my own.

What's this?

Don't be scared.

I just want to warm up.

Not used to sleeping alone.

Do you love me?

If you love me, hold me.

Call that holding me?

I thought you were free.

Say you love me.

Say it!

You don't love me. You hate me.

Fine. Go back to sleep.

What now?
- Hand me the wire.

Must you do that now?
- The wire.

Thanks.

Sorry.

Yes?

Her bike's busted.

Brakes are fucked.

I understand
brakes and fucked.

OK, I'll leave her to you.

Too bad, we're full.

No lo sé.

You want to sleep with me, huh?

Me?

The visitors have left,
but you, stubborn as stone

lie by the river bank
amid the flowers of May.

You tend the hearth and table,
roses and maple syrup

like so many heavy secrets.

It is raining on Nantes.

Give me your hand.

The sky over Nantes...

...fills my heart with pain.

A kiss from Barbara

for a song by Barbara.

If the summer's good,
we'll buy a dishwasher.

Or hire someone to do them.

Sit down.

Wilfred's salmon!

None of those shmucks ordered it!

And that Mme Martel...

on the black list!

Wants it all, but won't pay.

We should pick our guests.

If they get fussy,
show them the door.

There's love in the air.

Let's drink. For once we won't be
at each other's throat.

What's she saying?
It gets on my nerves!

It's like a boat.

She doesn't know
that's our slogan.

If we keep calling it a boat,
we'll end up setting sail

or sinking.

There better not be a storm.

We like each other a lot.

No.

That's not what she said.

She said we love each other.

Don't you agree?

Or is it your English?

Sad?

I can still see him at the bow,
like a little captain.

Always makes me want to cry.

When he started
learning the cello, too.

He shouldn't have stopped.

Mom should've kept up her piano

and I should've been a singer.

Saints above the oak tree,
a mast lost in the night...

leave the May warblers,
take up the forest birds

trapped and chained by

a defeat with no future.

I'm jealous.

I'm jealous, Jean-Louis.

I wish I were in love.

You are in love.

I wish you were in love with me.

Do you have a pencil and paper?

Will a bill do?

Sure.

The only love letter
I'll ever write

and I don't know who it's to.

Here...

It's like us, isn't it?

A boat that never set sail.

Mom...

I came to say I love you.

I love Jean-Louis too.

You also love Jean-Louis.

But you can't admit it to yourself.

I've had Jean-Louis.
I slept with him.

But he's not for me.

Or for you either.

For once I had something
you didn't.

I always wanted what you had.

That doesn't mean you lost.

Do you love me, Mom?

Have you ever loved me?

Why don't you ever cry, Mom?

My girl...

Why don't you ever cry?

I have no tears left.

I cried them all for your dad.

You loved him that much?

I might've come to hate him...

...but he died on me first.

Mme O'Neill?

Yes.

Clément Perron, bailiff.

A summons
for your mortgage payments.

You have 30 days.

Please sign here.

Who were they?

Oh... travelling salesmen.

For what?

Hotel equipment, I guess.
We get lots of them.

They looked fishy.

Did they ask questions?

Questions?

I dunno. You look upset.

No, I thought...

they were Jehovah's Witnesses.

Qué pasa?

We won't get anywhere.

Or come to anything.

You can't love me as I'd like.

I should be the one
who's just passing through.

Where can we go with a cello
and a bike on a beached boat?

I'm talking to your heart.
Can't you hear?

Alex!

What?

Two men came to see your mom.
I don t like it.

She wouldn't say who.

I don't want her
mixed up in your shit.

So move your ass and find them.

Here, take it.

That should do it.

I could take off.
- Cut it out.

You're so dumb.

That's not how it happens.

Sure you're not exaggerating?

Do what I tell you.

I don't know who they are.

They found you, you can find them.

It doesn't click.

You're not well.

I hate this too.

Trying to kill me?

Maybe. You're asking for it.

Look at me.

Why don't you look at me?

Jean-Louis?

I've known you forever.

What about me?

Where's my kiss?

Aren't you sleeping?
- You know I never do.

Did you do it?

Who you trying to buy?

Or any way.

Go away! Come back
when you know how to live.

What was that?
- Nothing.

A drunken guest.

Of course, if you wish to leave,
we won't charge you.

No, it's just,
he woke up our baby.

I'm truly sorry.

You're in here?

Have you seen Jean-Louis?

No, I was with Wilfred.

Why, are you worried
because he's not here?

Our last guests are leaving.

I'm getting married.

To Wilfred.

I'll go live with him.

Where?

Wherever there's work.

I'm pregnant.

Not by Wilfred?

Not by Jean-Louis.

This time I won't sneak off
to the city.

G'night Mom.

I want to start my own life.

Barbara?

I'm leaving, Jeanne.

Leaving? Where to?

Where's Alex?

You can't go.

Go on.

Go.

Wait!

Barbara!

Wait!

Your jacket!

Barbara left.

I thought you should know.

What are you trying to destroy?

Who are you trying to hurt?

You should've left with her.

Drink this, it'll pick you up.

Here, Mom.

I'm buying the inn.

You'll be happy.

I found my goal in life.

Like you wanted.

Whose money is it?

Jean-Louis's, of course.

Didn't you know?

He's in love with me.

He doesn't know it either.

That's why he came back.
Huh, Jean-Louis?

Shut up!

Tell her why you screwed Alfa.

Cause you know I love her.

Sick, isn't it?

Hey, Jean-Louis?

If I buy the inn

will you sweep up?

Who do you love?

You don't know what it means.

We're fed up with your moods.

Ever told someone
you loved them?

You'll tell me you love me.

I'll get it out of you.
It'll just be another lie.

Stop!

Stop it!

That's it...

kill me.

That's what you want?

Give it to me

or I'll give it to you.

No!

Get out!

Out!

Out!

It's OK, it's over now.

What happened?

What! Who did that to you?

Not Alex?

Where are you going?

Where?

Where are you going?

Let him go! Stop!

It's too late.
- It's nearly over.

Do you want to leave, too?

Take your money. You'll need it.

Have you gone crazy?

Are you both crazy?

I love you so much.

Why not say you love me, too?

Would make a perfect ending.

We love each other,
and we take off.

You're the handsomest,

the strongest.

Is that what you want?

Is that all you want?

You're so worried
about how others see you.

Come on.

That's it, leave together!
So cute...

Beat it! Beat it!

C'mon, Mom. We'll all go away.

A fine foursome. You know...

Mom, son, sis, brother,
in the same bed, humping away!

Get out.

You have many miles to make up.

I can't take you any further.

Get going.

Get going!

Go live your life.

The world's there for you.

You just have to go.

It's not too late.

It's never too late.

C'mon. I'm going with you.

Come on.
Wherever you want, OK?

I'm quitting. I'm free too!

Is it Barbara you want?
We'll find her, I swear!

Alex, nothing will stop us,
we'll go all the way!

Want me to get rid of him?

Get the fuck outta here!

Can I have a lift?

Taking off again?

Don't listen to him!

Going to work as a logger.

Get in.

It's better this way.

No more storms.

I'll take the horse.

A storm horse!

Anybody home?

Mme O'Neill?

Oh, right.

The bank summons.

They want to seize the house.

It's yours
if you pay the mortgage.

What do you mean?

No time to think it over.

Want to become an innkeeper?

Yeah, it's my life's dream.

Get them to wait.

I'll fix my face
and negotiate.

The Barracuda's mine!

Right!
