Elise!

Two minutes.

RISE

You were great!

Julien!

Go, go, go!

A rupture.

That's my first impression.

- Need help?
- No, I'm okay.

- Hi, Yann.
- Hi!

How are you?

Shit!
They put on a cast?

Yeah, they did that in ER.

Okay.
You have to lose that fast.

Let me take those.

Okay...

You have to see Grandjean or Tran,

so they can prescribe
the right treatment.

They'll tell you, for a dancer,

a cast is out of the question.

I think I'll just observe you today.
It's too soon to work on you.

Take a seat.

I guess you know everything.

Yeah.
You know how gossip spreads.

What are they saying?

About you and Julien?

Yeah.

Well, no, that...

Lie down!

Let me know
if I do anything that hurts.

No, that's fine.

Are you okay?

You okay?
You seem strange.

No, I...

In fact...

Blanche and I were together.

- What?
- Yeah.

- For two years.
- I had no idea.

You didn't know?

Now she's flaunting Julien!

Whereas, she never wanted us
to be seen together.

She kept saying,
"The dance world's a vipers nest!"

I confirm that!

Shit!

So we kept it a secret,
so no one would talk.

I'm sick over it.

On top of that,
she said she hated guy-dancers.

So we're the in-house schmucks?

Yeah!

Sorry...

Excuse me.

Don't start balling
or I'll lose it, too...

Fuck!

I think I'd better...

do some inner work, because...

I'm giving off some shitty vibes.

I don't know how you took it,
but I...

You see...

I don't know how I can heal people,
when I'm...

- Hold on...
- I'm sorry.

Sit down.

Breathe.

Breathe.

Lie down.

Try to breathe.

It'll be okay.

I'm a mess!

They're the jerks.

We're stronger than they are.

You're right.

Breathe...

You're doing me a lot of good.

That's so good.

One...

Demi-plié...

Grand plié...

Demi...

Tendu...

En avant...

Push your heels against the floor
to relever...

Good.

Five...

Arms not too high.

Elise!
Margaret wants to see you.

Now?

She's downstairs
with Hofesh Shechter.

Hofesh Shechter?

He's doing a show in Paris.
See you later?

No, I think I'll be going.

Got it.

Elise, you poor thing...

You don't do things by halves.

Elise Gautier...

How long will it take?

I don't know yet.

Don't freak out, it'll be fine.

Miss Gautier?

Has that ankle had recurring traumas?

Yeah, it’s clearly my weak point.

It's the third time I've sprained it.

And last time, I admit,
I didn't complete the physical therapy.

Not smart!

Then I'm not surprised.

You have a fractured malleolus
with a torn bone.

That's what we see on the MRI.

That's a very serious sprain.

It can be nasty,
if not treated correctly.

Meaning?

Depending on your treatment
and especially on your diligence,

your ankle may not regain flexibility.

That will restrict certain movements,
like going on pointe.

- It may be difficult.
- Really?

We won't know for 3 or 4 months.

But if it's what I think,
you'll have to have surgery.

And then...

Then?

That's more complicated.
If you have surgery,

you’d have to discontinue
all athletic activity.

For a year...
more like two years.

Two years?

Sometimes more.
But usually two years is enough

to be sure
that the joint is completely healed.

But one step at a time.

Come back in three or four months.

Two years is impossible.

I'm 26 years old...

I have to dance now.

It's either that,
or never dance again.

So?

You okay?

- Need any help?
- No.

Thanks, Julien!

To be honest, I never sensed
that Julien loved you.

Really?

I never trusted him.

Why didn't you say something?

It was just a feeling.

Plus, it's hard to say stuff like that.

Not necessarily.

If I found out Jean-Baptiste
was dumping me for another girl,

I think I'd be...

destroyed!

Well, I think
if Jean-Baptiste dumped you,

it wouldn't be for another girl.

What do you mean?

It would be more like
for another guy.

What do you mean?
I don't get it.

It's just that...

if someone told me
Jean-Baptiste was gay,

I wouldn't be shocked.

Jean-Baptiste?

Yeah.

Elise, we've been together
for three years.

Hi!

How's it going?

Fine.

Go, Mehdi!

That was great!

Yeah!

It wasn't bad.
Hip-hop's not really my thing.

That was great dancing!
Who cares if it's hip-hop or...

For sure!

Congrats, man!

You were there?

- That was rad!
- Thanks.

I just loved it.

Cool! Thanks!

- Let's meet for a drink soon.
- Love to!

Bye!

- He's good.
- Really good!

How do you know him?

It's been ages.

What if I can never dance again?

But...

You will dance again, Elise.

I believe that.

Turn over.

That's what kills me
about traditional medicine!

They dish out these "truths"

that they expect you to bow down to.

But so much escapes them.

- That hurts.
- It hurts?

Let's try the other one.

Look, I believe in science.
I believe in medical progress.

But I think there's also...

How can I say this?

The mystery of the body.

But if she says
I can't dance for a year or two...

Tran clearly said,
"If we operate, everything stops."

And?

She didn't say,
" Maybe everything stops."

She's made up her mind.

Who's she to be so sure of that?

Elise...

You just experienced a trauma.

We both just experienced a trauma.

We need to recover.

That tear is directly related
to what you felt.

Your body spoke to you.

It said,

"Kiddo, you're gonna feel that breakup
right down to your bones."

You've clearly lost a foothold.

And my work,
with you obviously,

is to find your symmetry again.

To find your center.

I'm parked over there.

Oh, wow! Really?

Does it hurt?

Well, yeah, a little.

That's exactly why
I wanted you to study law.

If you'd studied law,

you'd never have
these kinds of problems.

It's true.

That's the problem with the body.

You were lucky enough
to be beautiful.

You still are!
But it won't last.

When you're 40 or 50, you'll see.

The body ages.
Then you can't capitalize on that.

Look at Caro!
She was a stewardess and now...

What a mean thing to say
about Aunt Caro!

Plus, you're older than she is!

What I'm saying is,
if you build a life around your body...

It's like soccer players.
At 35, you're finished.

With a career like that,

your life has to change.
That's the only way.

So, if your career
is based on your body,

you're forced to have
at least two lives.

I'd love to have two lives!
Why couldn't I?

Whereas the mind...
You may eventually get Alzheimer's

or have a stroke.

But aside from a serious attack,

the work of the mind
remains active right to the end!

See what I mean?

Look at Ruth Bader Ginsberg!

She's just one example.
There are lots!

You don't understand, Daddy.

Even if there are two lives,
I haven't finished the first!

I love dance!
I wanna keep dancing.

Yeah, but...

But what? All you can say is
I should've studied law?

- What's come over you?
- I don't know.

You came to my premiere,
you saw me get injured on stage and...

you don't even call me?

I did try to call.
Your phone was off.

I went backstage!
They said you'd just twisted your ankle.

I didn't "just twist my ankle."
It's serious.

I may not dance again.

- Really?
- Yes.

That's not my fault.

Plus, your sisters both had problems
that very night.

Mélodie's pipe was leaking,
Aria had wifi problems...

You're here already?

Mélodie's on her way.

Next time, try not to all have problems
at the same time.

What are you talking about, Daddy?

What's with him?

It's just that...
I should have gone into law!

You can't change him!
That's impossible.

Yeah, maybe I'm stupid,

but I still hope he'll open up
and understand us.

No, he's just not like that.

That doesn't bother you?

Yeah, but I'm used to it.

It's true. He's a pain,
but we get used to it.

I still have a hard time.

Then you have to change.

Don't worry! With everything
that's happened, I'll have to change.

What does that mean?

I broke up with Julien.

What?

And I'm officially out of the company.

I'll give myself a month
to decide but...

I have to find
an alternative to dance.

No!

You have no right to give up dance.

What?
I don't have the right?

You don't!

Aria, why do you keep
jumping down my throat?

What about Mom?

What about Mom?

Do you think I like
making that kind of a decision?

You're not the only one
thinking of Mom!

You can't say that.

You don't have a monopoly
on missing Mom.

You add balsamic vinegar?

It gives Beef Bourguignon
a caramelized flavor.

It's so delicious!

Back on the flame!

We'll add mushrooms...

So, Daddy, do you like it?

I didn't say it was bad.

But do you like it?

Yeah! Not bad at all.

No?

So you like it?

Yeah, I just said it wasn't bad.

So how's your restaurant doing?

Great! People love it.
They think the food's very good.

Fantastic.

My only problem is finding employees
that are up to snuff.

Did you read the book I gave you?

No, I haven't.

The best book on country life
in classical times!

That's in relation
to her restaurant?

To what?

Nothing.

Did I miss something?

I have a hard time...

getting you girls
interested in culture.

Don't I?

My work is cultural,
I remind you!

Isn't it?

Of course it's cultural!
But...

Still, it's not...

What I mean is,
there's an intellectual life

that only literature can provide.

Mom,

Ever since you died, Daddy's always
tried to make up for your absence.

But...

Like most fathers,

he's never been a very good mother.

I remember the first time
you took me to class.

You said I'd be like you,
and grandma before you.

It was in Blois.
I was 6.

Six... Hand on the barre.

And open your arm to the side.

Demi-plié.

Tendu...
Port de bras...

And four.

When I think of all the hours
I studied with Mrs. Levan...

You'd always meet me after school

and we went right to dance class.

It quickly filled my days.

I barely saw my friends.

I always had rehearsals

or performances.

At first, it wasn't far.

How much longer?

From 9 to 12,
we had to go to Tours.

That was really far.

But it was a great class

with Miss Pinson, who used to dance
with the Opéra de Paris.

And...

That's when you left us, Mom.

But I continued, despite all.

It reminded me of you.

A nice temps lié!

Extend your arm!
Over your wrist.

Plié and twist your upper body.
That's it!

An easy temps lié...

And four dégagés.
Shoulders turned!

Perfect!

That was better, Elise.
On the plié,

keep your gaze on your fingertips.

That's much cleaner, much fuller.

She must continue next year.

I understand very well.

It's just that... we'll see.

Especially given
what she's been through.

No... I realize that...

But it is far!

- Elise! Coming back next year?
- Yes.

- You promise?
- Yes, I promise.

Right...

Miss Pinson managed to get me
into the Opéra de Paris dance school.

The first day,
lots of girls were crying.

But I was so happy
to spend my entire days dancing.

Laurène, are you crying?

I think that's what's hardest now.

Don't worry...

After investing all that time,

to think it was for nothing.

Have you heard?

- What?
- Adèle was cast in Hofesh's show.

Really? That's great!

She's joining his company.

What luck!

Remember Sabrina?

Sabrina...
Yeah, we were in dance school together.

I haven't seen her
since her accident.

She doesn't dance anymore,
but she gets by.

I wanted to dance Swan Lake, Giselle,

become a prima ballerina.

And at 18...

that all fell apart.

I had to forget my dreams
and change paths.

Like starting a second life.

And what's that like for you now?

New paths bring new dreams.

I'm allowed to have new dreams.

Like what?

- Being an actress.
- Really?

That turns me on now.

I already am, but it's not easy.

I still feel like a beginner.

Like at dance school, at first.

That's cool.

Are you able to live on that?

That's another story!

Meaning?

Let's just say
I do lots of stuff on the side.

So, yeah, I get along.

Speaking of which...

If you have any ideas for me,
I'm open.

Yeah!

Super!

Super, Elise!
I have everything I need.

Here, change the card.

Get ready, Sabrina. You'll be next.

Ready, Heidi?

That's beautiful!

Super!

Let's go!

Stand over there.

Yeah.

- Here?
- Closer to the groom.

Don't look at her, Dan.

Gaze at the horizon.

Further off.

Heidi, on the other hand,

gaze up at him, in love.
Let's go!

That's it!

Not bad...
You know what? Get on your knees.

- On the floor?
- Yeah, on the floor.

That's good.
Look at him.

Look at him. Nice!

Horizon, Dan!
Very nice.

Great!
Now we're cooking!

That's so much more beautiful,

when you're far below him.

What is all this?

What?

No, but...

Why "far below"?

What's the problem?

- What you're asking is embarrassing.
- Me?

Yeah.
How old are you, Heidi?

Sixteen.

- She's 16.
- What's the problem?

I've done catalogues for years.

That's a classic pose!

No reason to keep doing it.

You can't do that today!

Why keep perpetuating those images?

"Those images"?

A girl kneeling before a grown man?
You call that "beautiful"?

And you don't even realize
how sleazy that is!

"Sleazy"?
Are you crazy?

Sabrina, it's okay.

It's no big deal.

Yes, it is!
Heidi, I won't let you do that.

Who is this nutjob?

This what?
What did you just say?

I didn't hear you.

Did you call me a "nutjob"?

A "nutjob"?
Say that again and I'll whip your ass!

The photographer
couldn't believe his ears!

I thought she was gonna punch him.
We just ran out.

- Sabrina...
- What an asshole!

I should've kicked him!

You really lost it!

Want him to break your other leg?

Go, go, go!

You can turn over.

I really like Sabrina!

We hit it off
and I think she's doing me good.

She even offered me a job
with her boyfriend.

It's cooking-related and...

I thought it might be fun
to work with food.

I always liked to cook.

- Really?
- Yeah.

And her boyfriend Loïc's

supposed to be a great cook.

So you're giving up dance?

I have no choice.

But, yeah, it does feel weird.

Of course it's weird.

It's been a long road...

which you know!

That's what I keep thinking...

All that for this!

You say that like it's a fait accompli.
No?

Have faith!

Hang in there!

Sit up.

What also makes me crazy
is that almost

every ballet is about
a woman's life being ruined!

Women always have tragic fates.

Look at Giselle...

Swan Lake, La Bayadère...

As if dance

was created to tell us that,
when you're a woman,

you're doomed
to some lousy, tragic fate.

Do you realize that...

every heroine in a white tutu

is a dead woman?

The ghosts of scorned...

betrayed...

broken women.

Like me.

No!

It's true, I've become
a real-life ballet heroine.

That's not true.

You exaggerate! Not to that extent.
Stretch out.

- I swear!
- May I?

Not one classical ballet
has a positive fate for a woman.

Or at least, a girl who's...

disobedient.

Yeah...

Come on...

But contemporary dance isn't like that.

Right.

That's true.

Anyway, I've turned the page...

Maybe you're right.

You should go where life leads you.

Let's go.

But I honestly feel like...

you're on the right path now.

The path that will recenter you.

The path back to yourself.

You think?

Sit back up.

Is that it?

Yeah, that's it.

I'll see you out.
Got everything?

Yeah.

- You've made incredible progress!
- Really?

Yeah!

No, I think we're really in sync!

Yeah, I feel that, too.

Thank you.

No, thank you!

Recovery takes two, you know!

You help me a lot, too.

As you know,
I'm going to an ashram in Goa.

So I won't see you for a while.

I'm happy for you!

It's great! I've been waiting
to do this for a long time.

I'm very excited but...

Still, it's such a drag!

I mean, not to be here with you.

No big deal.
I'll wait for you.

I won't dump you for another therapist.

Sorry...

Bon voyage!

You, too.
I mean, see you soon. Thanks a lot.

Thank you.

Why are so many girls vegan now?

Not just girls.

Yeah!

Not just,
but it's mostly girls who fall for it.

Women are just
more attentive to their bodies.

Bullshit!

We all know, fruit and vegetables
are easier to digest.

They're loaded with fiber...

- What are you up to?
- What?

Oh, no!

No, not you?
You're not gonna go vegan, too?

No, I'm just exploring.

Fuck, Loïc!

Steak!

You love steak!

Beef bourguignon...
Lamb chops...

- Salami!
- Salami's not the same.

Sea bass! Sole!

Shrimp! Ceviche!
Can you imagine life without ceviche?

I'm just saying
vegans get along very well...

And you can read
2 books in your life!

What does reading books
have to do with eating ceviche?

Vegans are a pain in the ass!

You have to accept people.

Be more inclusive!

- Excuse me? "Inclusive"?
- Yeah!

Listen to you!
Talking like some TV news slut!

I'm a slut?

Yeah.

- A slut?
- You're a tart.

A tart? Hold on...

You my little whore?

Your little whore?
Get over here!

Stop now, please.

Stop!

Loïc, please!

- Stop!
- Take it easy!

- Relax!
- No one's on the road.

It's under control!

No big deal.
Everything's fine.

Hi, Josiane!

Loïc!

Welcome to the gimp guild!

I have a soul sister!

We hired the best limper
to please you.

Were you born like that
or do you ski?

No, an injury. Not ski-related.
It's been 3 months.

For me, it's 30 years.

So who's the lucky girl?

This one!

You can sleep here.

And you two in the van?

- Yeah.
- No!

I see she's new!

Once you decide,
let me know if you need a room.

You're not like his other girls...

I've never seen you in love before!

Can you shut up, Josiane!

There!

It's their last night.
Make something good!

Sure!

This place feels great.

That's the idea!

I like putting talented people at ease.

Artists need peace and quiet
to be able to express themselves.

I can't do anything.
I can't paint or play music or dance.

But I love people who can!

And now you can do your thing
and feed us.

- Right now?
- Right now.

- Sabrina!
- Here we go!

It's total shit!

Stop griping! It's excellent!
You're such a pain!

I'm sorry!
Nagoya chicken is with yuzu and ginger.

Without yuzu, I won't serve it!

What's going on?

Taste this!

That's a flop?

- It's fabulous!
- You're such a pain!

Serve it!

It's okay?

Let's go!

Now that's cooking!

Come on!

It's a huge hit!
Stop being such a pain!

Hello!

Hello...

Haven't we met?

Yeah, briefly, with Jean-Baptiste.

After your battle at 104.

Oh, right!

What are you doing here?

I'm working.
Giving a friend a hand.

And you...

Hi!

Do you all do hip-hop?

No, we're a contemporary dance company.

No way!

Adèle!

It's so great to see you here!

It's incredible!

This is Hofesh's company?

Yeah, all of us.

Are you working here?

Yeah. I have to go.

How's your leg?

- See you later!
- Okay.

They left you all alone to peel carrots?

They're in the food truck.

What's on the menu tonight?

I dunno.

Loïc asked me to do this.

Aren't you exaggerating?

Sabrina told me about your injury.

Who says
you can never dance again?

Yeah, but...

I don't know...

When I watch them...

I think...

You're struggling?

Yeah.

Maybe I shouldn't say this but...

It's good to be struggling.

I can see you've always been lucky.

You've always been gifted,
always had access to beauty.

Few people do, you know.

Me...

I was never allowed any of that.

Up until now,
being well has been normal for you.

But, no, wellness isn't normal.

Being well is a stroke of luck.

In fact, being well is a privilege.

So seeing what it's like
for those who don't have that luck...

can only do you good.

See that artist, over there?

The typical kid
who got dealt a bad hand in life.

I knew his parents.

The poor kid really hit the jackpot.

Abusive alcoholic father,
submissive mother.

He got the typical package,

which meant a shitty upbringing.

Cooking...

that's what saved him.

Know what the first woman

who climbed the Himalayas said?

No.

"It's because I fell so low

"that I can climb so high."

So, you setting this table or not?

What are you doing,
alone with my chair?

You wanna bust it?

- Sorry, everyone left.
- No!

Let Elise help you, instead.

Elise,

help him,
so he doesn't break my chair!

Go on!

Even injured,
you can't be worse than a chair.

Go on!

Dance a little.
It'll do you good. Go!

Do you mind giving me a hand?

No problem.

She's right,
I can't be worse than a chair.

It's simple.
You're supposed to be dead.

Can you just stare into space?

Like really dead.

Just relax completely.

I'll make you dance.
Just follow.

Okay.
I saw you rehearsing.

Cool! We begin seated.

Can you sit between my legs?

A little closer.

- Like that?
- Yeah, that's enough.

And immediately...

Can you focus on that low diagonal...

with your eyes?

We start very gently.

I lift you slightly...

Relax your wrists and elbows.
Let them fall.

That's it.

Close your legs, pull it over.

- Like that?
- Perfect.

And a grand jeté!

You've danced before!

Elise!

If it hurts, we'll stop.

No, I'm fine.
It's actually doing me good.

- What's your name?
- Elise Gautier.

Adèle mentioned you.
You were in the same company, right?

- Wanna try again?
- Yeah!

At times
I feel too masculine.

You're all woman.

I agree.

I just don't feel feminine.
I don't feel...

Give it a break!

Trust me.
I know better than you.

You know what's feminine?

I think guys
are more sensitive at detecting...

- You okay?
- Fine. And you?

Thanks for this afternoon.

Thank you. Did it help?

You're pretty.

Excuse me? Did I hear right?

- I think you're pretty.
- I'm pretty?

Pretty?

So, what's...

I'm pretty!

- Great!
- That pisses you off?

Not at all! Hunky-dory!
I love being called "pretty"!

See ya!

- That's insulting!
- No, it's not!

- Yes, it is!
- I disagree!

We'll never agree!

- Pretty's not an insult!
- It's degrading!

You can't just call people pretty!
Asshole!

Tell the vegans that's tofu.

Go, go, go!

This is tofu.

- Is the show over?
- Shut up!

So, what do your folks do?

- My father's a lawyer.
- And your mother?

She's dead.

It was a long time ago.

Do you see your father often?

Yeah...

No, I mean...

You should! We should force ourselves
to talk to your parents.

Meaning?

I didn't and I regret never talking
to my father, face-to-face.

About what?

Just to talk.

Like an adult.

Not like a child.

I think if he tossed me

just... a little "I love you,"

it may have done me good.

Sometimes we don't need much.

My dad wasn't the type.

My father's not at all the type
to say "I love you."

Dads are often like that.

They hide their feelings.

Who knows why?

They can't show
what their kids need.

Would that have changed much for you?

A lot.

Yeah. A lot.

We're going on a walk.

To the sea.
Anybody interested?

Do I look like I go on hikes?

Glad to be out of the kitchen?

Happy to see the sea.
And it's so close!

Elise, grab a glass.

I have a bottle of red.
Want a drink?

Yeah, sure.

It's cool! I'm happy...

you started moving again.

Yeah! It's not like before,
but it's coming back a little.

And after this afternoon,
I'm hardly limping at all!

That's typical.

When you limp a long time,
it almost becomes a reflex.

At first, 'cause it hurts.
Later, so it won't hurt.

How do you know that?

I had an accident
and I couldn't dance for 6 months.

So all that natural fear...

I know it well.

So don't be afraid.

I'd rather be afraid a bit longer.

No, you mustn't!

I can help you with that, if you like?

You know...

I'm a little like a superhero.

I have superpowers.

I can turn ice into fire...

pain into pleasure...

I can fix your limp.

Hold on!

Robinson, I'm sorry...

I'm really not into that now.

I'm sorry. It's not about you but...

- Can we still have a drink together?
- Sure!

Shit!

Hello!

Hello! Yann?

- Hi, how are you?
- Good. You?

Great! I'm in Goa.

Just kidding!
I just got back.

Two hours ago.
But how are you doing?

Good. I'm in Brittany.

Really?

I'm dancing a little.
It's much better.

Okay...

Hold on... Hello?

Can you hear me?

Now I hear you.
But it must still hurt a little?

Yeah, sure, it still hurts a little.

But frankly, it's not bad.

Okay.

If it hurts, I should see you.

You can't really dance again

if we don't continue your exercises.

Where are you exactly?

Between Ploërmel and Quiberon.

I love it there! Cool.
I could come!

I can come.

I really think I'm fine.

Listen...

It would be my pleasure.

Honestly, if you're in pain,
we can't just ignore it.

That's impossible.

Okay... if you want.

Cool!

Great.
Namaste, then!

See you soon, then...

Can't wait!

See you soon!

Bye!

Yeah, take care.

Yann!

How are you?

- Doing okay?
- Yeah!

- Happy to see you!
- Me, too.

- You seem great.
- Yeah, much better.

- What shit weather!
- Yeah!

Brittany's not Goa!

That's for sure!
Come in!

- Can I, uh...?
- Sure.

- I don't wanna intrude.
- No, on the contrary!

This is Yann!

Hi!

- My physical therapist.
- Right.

Nice to meet you.

- Can I sit here?
- Sure. Want a drink?

No, I'm fine, thanks.

It's a technique
that can give you great freedom,

in how you stand,
how it all works.

That gives you great freedom.

But it's a long road to get there.

I love classical ballet.
That's my training.

Like Elise.

I think it's really beautiful.

But I admit, it's harder and harder
for me to wear a tutu.

Tutus are corny!

What do you know about tutus?

In my personal opinion,
tutus are corny.

You know nothing about ballet.
You can't call it corny!

I'm just talking about the style.

There's nothing ridiculous about it.

Excuse me for interrupting.
I used to think that, too.

But the moment you see
someone like Elise or Adèle dance,

it'll totally change your mind.

It's not corny at all.
It's magnificent.

You're a dolt!

Some scenes in the repertoire
are sublime. Not sappy at all.

I know.
I didn't say sappy.

- Watch this!
- No!

Yeah. We'll show them.

- Watch and learn!
- I'm watching.

Remember this?

Yeah!

You, too!

Oh, no!

Go on!

Get over here!

Was I corny?

Flex.

And point.

Not bad at all!

Stretch...

You've lost a bit.

- Of flexibility?
- Yeah!

- Yeah, maybe.
- That's a shame.

Stand and walk a little.

How does it feel?

It still hurts a little.

Maybe, but you're not limping at all.

When you danced,
it didn't bother you at all.

This is the first time
I've pushed against it so hard.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Compared to last month,
it's pretty spectacular.

Yeah.

Even when it hurts a little,
it's less painful than not dancing.

For sure.

You know...

The only thing that really matters
- this may sound dumb -

is the now.

So I think you have to be willing

to live again.

To embrace the present moment.

Rather than focusing on past traumas.
That's the worst.

Maybe you should also
allow yourself to...

to meet someone.

I think I met someone.

- Really?
- Yeah.

And who's the lucky guy?

Mehdi.

No!

What?

Mehdi.

Mehdi?

Yeah.

Who's Mehdi?

You met him a little while ago.

Right!

But...

Mehdi...

- Great!
- Yeah!

Great!

Let's stop here.

For today.

Really?

- Anyway, that's great!
- Yeah.

Really good.

I'll be back in one minute.

- You don't mind?
- No.

- You okay?
- Yeah.

And you?

Yeah.

Great.

But my ankle...

No, fine. The ankle's fine.

Elise!

Gotta go!

Coming!

- How was it?
- Terrific.

Yann!

Isn't it delicious?

Excuse me for interrupting but...
it's true, your cooking's great.

Could I mooch another...

Try it with a little eau de poire.
It's from Burgundy.

Pour me a little more.

When!

Thanks!

Holy shit!

But I'll tell you...

that's really good with...

with that music.
All that nonsense.

It's the vanilla from Madagascar.

It tastes like the music!
Hear that?

Yeah, vanilla...

That thing's mind-blowing!

Watch out!

Pear, chocolate, vanilla...

Pear!
Double pear!

Pear, yeah!
Pear-pear...

It's the pear-pear...

Hofesh does that too.
He combines, opposes...

When we see what we're seeing...

When we hear what we're hearing...

And when we eat what we're eating...

We're right to think what we think.

In moments like this...

I could practically have an orgasm.
Because...

What?

Yeah!

He doesn't understand a thing.
But you see what I mean...

All this, all this!

That's dance!

My favorite residents
are always the dancers!

See what I mean?

I just love it because they...
I dunno...

When they move?

- With their...
- Hands?

- Bodies?
- Their arms?

Move their bodies?
The movement?

When they dance!

That's what I want!

I want that...

on my plate.

Yann! The wrists!

Okay, okay, okay!

Leave me alone!

That's cool! Thanks!

See you soon!

Thanks so much!
Bye, Sabrina!

- When do you get back?
- In two weeks.

And?

And what?

I dunno...

Mehdi!

Mehdi!

Let's go!

Go on!

It's so beautiful.

Yeah.

What a jerk!

Fuck!

Bastards!

You bastards!

He exhausts me!

Thank you, Josiane!

Thank you.

Bye.

Don't screw up!

Get back to work!

You have to dance again!

Then you'll give us all
an access to beauty.

You promise?

Yes.

I promise.

Thank you.

It's pretty impressive!

Your malleolus
shows no trace of fracture.

And the tear in your bone
is hardly visible.

The joint still needs rest,
but we can rule out surgery.

Really?

I knew it was better.

But remain patient.
Don't do too much.

But I can feel it's better.

You know, the body's like a car.

If you try to drive with a broken axle,

you're more likely to have an accident
than if the car stays in the garage.

I'm so happy you're dancing!

But contemporary dance...
I just don't get it!

You're always stuck to the floor.

There's no lightness!

I don't know, in ballet...

you're gazing toward the stars, airy!

That's much more me.

It's true, we're more in contact
with the floor,

in contemporary, or in hip-hop!

Like there's a connection
to the earth,

to reality.

It's true, the floor is scary in ballet.

But now my feet reach for the ground,
instead of fleeing it.

I love that!

Now I see ballet in a different light.

Sure! Ballet is more about dreams.

But that's what I like.

Sometimes reality's good.

Still, Hofesh has
a real form of spirituality.

Like a quest for the beyond.

Searching for the light!
Something larger than life.

But in a more tribal way.
More animalistic.

I love that!

Hello?

So?

So what?

- Wanna get together?
- Wanna get together?

Where are you?

Near Botzaris.

Okay, hold on.

It's 19 minutes to my place.

Okay.

If you come half way,
it's under 10.

Already running?

On my way!

It's my father.

- I'm not answering.
- Go ahead!

- Hello?
- Daddy?

Am I bothering you?

No.

I'm coming to Paris tomorrow.

Wouldn't it be nice
to have lunch together?

Okay. Just the two of us?

Yeah.

Can you meet me
at the Amaury law office?

Yeah, I know where that is.

That's it.

At 12:30?

12:30, that's fine with me.

That's fine with you?

Okay?

- See you tomorrow!
- Fine...

- D'you get the book I sent you?
- Yeah.

But I haven't read it.
I have so much work at the moment.

Read it.

Read one page a day.

120 pages, 120 days.
That's nothing!

See you tomorrow?

See you tomorrow.
Take care.

You, too.

- Hello.
- Oh, my daughter!

Elise!

Do you remember Amaury?

Yes, of course.

I must look like an old geezer!

I remember you no bigger than that.

It's been a long time.

But you haven't met Alban de Vouvray.

And that's a shame!

And he's a De Vouvray

from Vouvray!

I'm from Vouvray.
Very funny!

You may not know,
but your father's a star in the business.

We call him "the plead boy"
for his defense pleas...

Or "Henri the Blabbermouth,"

or "the Drooler,"
or "the Machinegun,"

or "Henri Punchline"!

- It's Roast Henri Day!
- No!

Join us for lunch?

Yeah!

- No, we're having lunch together.
- Then we'll leave you.

See you soon!

- Did you wanna have lunch with them?
- No!

How's Henri the Blabbermouth?

Those two goofballs call me that.

You're not limping at all!

Yeah, it's much better.
I'm starting to dance again.

Really?

I'm in a show but...

I hope I can hold out
for the whole show.

Isn't it a little dangerous to...

No.

Fantastic, then, if you...

Let's eat.

- You hungry?
- Yeah.

Me, too.

I'm happy you came to Paris.

Yeah...

We had a tough case.

We were inches from a dismissal.

Anyway...

Why didn't you wanna eat
at my place?

It's nice here.

Yeah, but...
I don't know...

Your mother and I always came here.

Daddy...

it hurts me
that you're not interested in me.

- In my life.
- What?

You don't realize it,
but you're cold to me.

Cold? Me?

For example,
you've never said, "I love you."

Lots of people say that, no problem.

I've never said, "I love you"?

No.

What is this nonsense?

Well, go ahead.

- What?
- Say it!

There's no doubt about it.

No, really say it.
Say, "I love you, Elise!"

That's not something you say
under threat.

Do you sincerely think
I've always been cold to you?

Yes.

It wasn't always easy for me,
after Mom died.

It wasn't easy for us, either.

Wanna come see
what I'm doing now?

I don't know.
What are you doing?

Working with
a contemporary dance company.

- Contemporary dance?
- Yeah.

Fantastic!

- Right now?
- Yeah, right now.

Now?
Okay, yeah.

Let's go!

With pleasure.

Let's go.

This is Mehdi.

Hello, sir.

Pleased to meet you. Henri.

Mehdi's... Mehdi.

Okay.

Fantastic.

I have to change.
But take a seat... over there.

I'll introduce you to Hofesh later.

Be right back!

Fantastic!

Very impressive.

Listen, where's the little boy's room?

Hofesh!

I'm running late.

Can you come to our premiere?

I don't know, I have a lot of work
in the coming weeks.

Please try.
It means a lot to me.

I know, but...

Of course, I'll try.

- Bye, Adèle.
- Bye, Henri.

Look, there's Elise!

Where?

She's gone now.

I was sitting right next to your father.

Where'd he go?

Did we lose him?

When we did that jump,
I started on 7 instead of...

Instead of 8?

The beginning was weird.

Yeah, we were really close.

- I felt like...
- I touched you.

Exactly. In the dark.
I felt something in the dark.

When the lights came up,
I was like, "Now what?"

Elise!

- How are you?
- Great.

I just wanted to say congrats!
It was incredible!

Thanks.

Oh, sorry!

Elise... Elise.

- Nice to meet you!
- It was great!

What are you guys up to now?

Going for a drink.

Cool!
Shall we join them?

No?

Fabulous!

I loved it!
It gave me chills!

- Great!
- You liked it?

It blew me away!

You've convinced me.

And then you start this movement,
I'm spinning around.

Dear Mom,

A few days before you left us,
you said,

"Make the most of all the lives
that life offers you."

Mom,

today,
I'm beginning a new life.
