A SUMMER DAY

Aim for the goalpost! Kick without thinking.

That's the way to play!

Get moving in the back!

Look alive!

Don't think, use your left foot!

That's right! Nice one!

Keep moving!

Wake up!

Watch your ankles! Don't think, kick!

Aim for the goalpost, that's right! Yes!

Stop it, you jerk-offs!

We'll keep the same line-up for Sunday.

We're the hosts, so behave.

No messing around. Steph?

- You hear me? - No problem.

Keep your team in line.

- What about our new shirts? - The usual story.

What the fuck!

We won't have them?

They promised!

No, they didn't.

Good players don't need flashy gear.

At least we have hot water, we can't complain!

We'll look like losers!

Francis, does your step-dad hate football?

Get off his case with that, Rémy.

Just kidding.

The mayor is more into dance!

He could give us tutus!

You'd love that, Riton!

Shake it, Riton!

Will you dance for us on Sunday?

So we drank some beer,

then they gave me

this fisherman's shirt that said

"A Good Fisherman"

and I caught...

some bras and underwear...

Nice atmosphere.

A blow job would liven things up.

You're obsessed.

I'm gonna play darts.

Let's go.

- Want a ride home, Isa? - Sure.

See you Sunday.

They're gonna have a threesome!

Shit!

You know a guy killed himself here?

No way!

When the workers came, they found him down there.

Magpies had eaten his eyes.

You're gross.

Where'd you hear that?

It was a long time ago.

Why'd the guy kill himself?

Fuck.

Stop laughing!

Wait!

I'll show those bastards.

Shit.

I'm going to the garage.

This late?

Ok, get lost.

See you tomorrow.

I was just going home.

You scared me.

I gave up waiting for you.

We were at the bar.

Can't rely on you...

We had a lot to talk about.

I polished the body.

We'll find some rims and finish the paint job.

Hey, Seb.

Hey, Francis.

This is it?

This is it. Not bad, huh?

Well?

Honestly,

if you had asked my opinion...

Really?

Why?

Never mind, it's no big deal.

Forget it.

You destroyed Francis! I bet he's gutted.

He thinks he's so cool with that stupid car.

Is he after you or something?

I bet he's got poppers in the trunk!

A pack of Camels, please.

That magazine is adults only.

That's fine, I'm 18.

Oh yeah? Since when?

Bastille Day.

Bastille Day?

You can ask him.

I'm a real firecracker, lady!

Does your mother know you buy porno?

My mother jacks off too.

I'm sick of you.

Don't come back here.

I don't give a shit about your lousy store.

Get lost.

Fuck you, whore.

Bitch! How dare she talk about my mother!

A hunter must've done this.

What will you do?

Eat him?

He needs looking after.

Yeah, right.

He's fucked.

Goodbye, Mr. Rabbit.

My uncle's taking me sailing on the 12th.

Wanna come?

It's up to you.

I don't know if my dad will give me time off.

You haven't had any vacation.

Can't you take vacation?

Sure, but...

I've never set foot on a boat.

All the more reason. You should come.

Get your sea legs.

Don't just stay here and rot.

I'm fine.

Tonight?

Why the woods?

I have to get up early tomorrow.

For work, yeah.

Alright, what time?

See you later.

Who was that?

Nobody.

We haven't heard from him in a while.

Shit!

Hey, Seb!

What's wrong? Are you pissed off?

Cut the crap!

That's right, pass the ball!

Keep it moving! Look alive, Reds!

Go!

Dammit, Francis!

Got lead in your socks?

Come on, up front!

Go, Seb!

Don't worry, Champ, we'll win!

Great.

Perfect.

Go take your shower.

Carry on!

Let's go!

You're out already?

You're going to be ok, Mickaël.

All you have to do is breathe.

Breathe.

Please don't touch anything.

I'm sorry, Mayor,

but it's for the investigation.

Fine.

We'll have to rope off the whole field.

You mean, like for a crime scene?

Must be a design flaw.

From the way it collapsed.

Did he hang on it often?

I told him not to.

Dozens of times. But he wouldn't listen.

I was always telling him.

It's not your fault, Didier.

Any news about the kid?

No.

This is it.

What a deluge!

What did we do to deserve this?

We'll wait it out.

- You sure you're alright? - I'm fine.

I thought we were just waiting for the kid to wake up.

Now we've got the police, an inspector from Vernais...

The whole nine yards.

Looking for a culprit.

You're exaggerating.

You'll see.

Calm down.

I'm not upset.

Yes, you are.

Did you know wet hair is a turn-on?

Rushed to Roche-sur-Yon hospital,

the young man is in a coma

and suffering cranial trauma.

The doctors' prognosis is not very optimistic.

The municipal football field, now closed to the public,

is under investigation.

Why did the goalpost collapse?

The mayor's office, in charge of maintenance and equipment,

may provide answers.

The investigation seeks to identify the causes

and those responsible for this tragedy.

Sébastien.

What?

I told you we'd be early.

I'm going to buy cigarettes.

You know...

There's going to be trouble.

What kind of trouble?

Over the accident.

Mickaël's mother will sue.

Why?

Goalposts don't just fall down.

Especially not on someone's head.

There has to be a reason.

There are laws about these things.

My step-dad is a wreck.

Laws about what?

You made it?

I rearranged my schedule. And you?

Classes start in October.

I have to find an apartment.

How cool. I wish I were going to university.

Let's sit here.

Why so far away?

Coming?

Yeah.

You shouldn't be in the back row.

We are gathered to bid farewell to Mickaël

as he leaves for God's Kingdom.

Words fail us.

We are in pain.

But we believe in Jesus Christ and the Resurrection.

"Your peace shall be their legacy.

"Your life within them shall vanquish death."

Please rise.

Your peace shall be their legacy

Your joy shall be their future

Your peace shall be their legacy

Your life within them

shall vanquish death

They're off key!

It's ok.

Hello.

Hello, madam.

Sébastien?

Yes.

Want a ride?

My daughter, Noémie.

And Bastien, her fiancé.

Didn't Mickaël tell you he had a sister?

Sure.

I don't remember.

He didn't talk about himself much, did he?

No, not much.

That's right.

Not much.

And Mickaël...

never brought you to our house, did he?

No.

Of course not.

He kept us hidden. He didn't want anyone to see us.

Mom!

Yes, I know, dear.

But I knew my son well.

I know what he thought.

No.

He loved you. I know he did.

He told me so.

People were looking at us.

Turning around to stare.

So?

You noticed it, too.

You're imagining things.

What if it had been Francis?

Louise...

Don't talk like that.

Turn on another light. You'll go blind in here.

You can't sleep either?

Can you believe this heat?

Sure, thanks.

I was thinking...

about the car.

At first I liked the original paint.

But then I thought, what the hell,

we could change it.

Red.

Red would be good.

Think so?

A subtle red, then.

Something not too...

It's not a Ferrari!

Hello, everyone!

- Hello, Mayor. - Would you mail this?

Mayor?

Can I see you for 5 minutes?

Not right now, I've got a meeting.

I can wait.

As you like.

Don't think I'm avoiding you!

You won't be able to anyway.

Sorry I'm late.

Did you see the inspector?

- What's he want? - Our equipment files.

He thinks some elements are missing.

Did you read today's paper?

Did everyone read this piece of shit?

How could they let that kid hang on the goalpost?

- It was inevitable! - It's not the coach's fault.

Or the mayor's.

Please!

We've no reason to be on the defensive.

We've worked hard for this community for 14 years.

You all know what we've accomplished.

We need to keep our cool.

Don't say too much to the press. Or even the police.

As mayor, Maurice is in the hot seat,

but all of us are vulnerable.

What the hell is that punk doing?

Seb, telephone!

Coming!

The steering is shot.

It'll cost more than the car to fix.

So?

Find something?

I think so.

Good.

It's important to have a keepsake.

Memories are important.

I have to be going.

My daughter's getting married.

Not right now, of course. Next month.

Noémie wanted to postpone it, but I disagreed.

I thought maybe you could come.

We'd be more like a family that way, wouldn't we?

I don't know.

Of course.

One should never outlive one's children.

A child who loses his parents is an orphan.

But what is a mother who loses her child?

One day,

when I bent down to pick him up,

I burned him.

Here.

On his neck. The skin is very sensitive there.

Maybe that's why.

He seemed afraid to let me touch him after that.

Hi, Sébastien.

Hi.

See you soon?

See you.

Fuck!

Any good?

Yeah, not bad.

You can borrow it if you want.

We've got lots of books too.

My mom loved to read.

Especially mysteries.

My dad kept them, he thought I'd want them later.

As if!

Why don't you sit down?

So?

What'd you want to tell me?

The important thing?

Nothing.

What do you mean, nothing?

You changed your mind.

I forgot.

What'd you do?

Cut my hand.

You've got to be kidding!

You cut yourself and put that filthy rag on it?

Come with me.

Come on!

Come on in.

Does it hurt?

A little.

Especially my wrist.

It's bruised.

It may be a sprain.

You need an x-ray.

Stop it!

It's fine.

You need a proper bandage, it's bleeding like hell.

No it's not, I'm fine.

If the floor's all bloody, how'll I look?

That's right!

Come on.

Give it!

You're home.

I didn't hear you come in.

- Where's your mom? - Running errands.

This is a friend.

Sébastien.

Hello, young man.

He was a friend of Mickaël's.

See you later.

We'll go out this way.

Where've you been all this time?

Did you think the Mangin kid's car would repair itself?

I was at the doctor's. I hurt myself.

Doing what?

What is it?

A sprain.

It'll take two weeks to heal. Maybe more.

Shit!

Excuse me for living.

I know a guy

who got a scratch, which got infected,

and he went deaf and blind!

We'll have to turn down work.

Is someone there?

Mickaël?

Mom?

A beer!

This is the ladies' room.

The men's room is disgusting.

What do you want?

Nothing.

I saw you watching me and Isa.

Want my beer?

You can have it.

I don't like beer anyway.

It makes me sick.

It's warm.

I saw you.

In the woods.

I saw you together.

So?

So nothing.

I don't know.

You sure don't!

Maybe he needed to do it.

You know?

I'm looking for Didier!

I just answered some questions, that's all.

You could have come to me first.

Me or François.

We all go way back.

Even some of your people blame me.

In situations like these, people talk.

They say things.

What you said is serious, you don't realize.

You can't say any old thing,

just because you heard people talking!

I know what I said.

I didn't lie.

I never lie.

I know.

But you of all people know how much we did

to save jobs! You agreed with it at the time.

Obviously. Everyone agreed at the time.

Don't you know it cost us?

We were forced to make choices.

I don't know.

I'm not in politics.

There were servants' quarters over there.

Now they've fallen into ruin.

When my husband bought the property,

the garden was in sorry shape.

We planted some hibiscus.

Beautiful flowers in spring.

Lots of flowers.

We even planted orchids.

In the beginning,

people called us "the Germans".

And a few other things, too!

Did you know that?

"The Germans?"

Noémie was a baby.

It was right before Mickaël was born.

My husband was Swiss.

German Swiss, with that great accent!

I can't live here anymore.

All alone in this place.

I think you should leave now.

Yes, I'll leave.

I need something.

- A photo. - A photo?

What photo?

There should be some in here.

Here we are.

He looks like a man in that photo.

The photo really makes you realize.

Mayor, may I remind you that the County

only provides bus service to the middle school.

The Town Council no longer provides bus service to the elementary schools

because it's a member of the County Council.

What we're asking for today is a simple compliance order.

What are "supernumerary administrative tasks"?

Either we delegate the bus service, or we handle it all.

If we delegate to the County,

Mrs. Debra will be in charge of security.

Then she'll have to break the children.

"Take" the children.

You meant "take" the children.

That's what I said.

No, you said "break" instead of "take".

I propose to modify the report as follows:

"Resulting in expenses for supernumerary administrative tasks."

Maurice?

Alright, let's vote on it. Who's in favor?

That clarifies things. Thank you.

Hi, stranger.

Your hand looks better.

I need you to settle with a client tomorrow evening.

Here are the keys.

Can you do it?

Look at this.

Isn't he dapper in that sailor's cap!

Yeah, but he's so full of himself!

Where the hell is he?

Will you tell me where you're taking me?

It's a surprise.

Don't worry, it'll be fun.

Stop it!

You won.

It's no fun with two people.

Aren't you going a little fast?

It'd be a shame to lose your brand new license.

Scared?

A little. I'm in the dead man's seat.

You told my colleague you were "making sure

"it was running smoothly".

Is that right?

The engine sounded funny.

"The engine sounded funny."

So you and your friend were listening to the engine?

He's not my friend.

Alright.

Speeding, driving without a license,

stealing a car...

Quite an impressive list, isn't it?

Better stop lying if you want some sympathy from the judge.

Jean-François? The kid's dad is here.

Stay here.

Fucking hell!

Let me help you.

Where's your car?

It's the green one.

I'm alright.

Thank you.

I couldn't do it alone.

No need for thanks, it's only normal.

The attendant went to get the phone

and left me alone.

Let me help you!

Hello, Mayor. Sorry, it was an important call.

Thank you.

I'll get yours now.

Is there someone to help you at home?

It's awfully heavy.

I'll be alright, thanks.

Goodbye.

Goodbye, madam.

I've been waiting for you.

What happened to you?

I'm fine. It's nothing.

I had an accident.

What do you mean, an accident?

I saved my bread crumbs

To mark out my path

But the magpies, the blackbirds and the robins

The magpies, the blackbirds and the robins...

Here.

For you.

Thanks.

It's the real thing.

Ferrari!

Naturally, I'd like you to take over the garage,

but you need to live your own life.

He's sleeping. I didn't want to wake him.

I wanted to tell him I've finished my investigation.

It's out of my hands now.

I felt bad when I heard about him.

We treated him a bit like a criminal, but it was an accident.

Maurice didn't cause Mickaël's death,

and you didn't cause Maurice's heart attack.

Maybe he'll be convicted, maybe not.

It doesn't really matter either way.

He could have died.

But he's alive.

Sometimes a shock can be liberating.

This one looks great on you.

It's perfect.

I don't know.

Seriously.

If my son were here,

we could've fixed your car right away.

Don't worry.

The hardest part is drying out the interior.

You'll need new seat covers and a few other things.

But the engine's fine, it didn't get waterlogged.

Wasn't your son...

good friends with the Helzer kid?

They were best friends.

I had a dream.

A strange dream.

The strangest thing is that he was in it.

Who?

Sébastien.

Your son.

I'd better get going.

If my wife knew I was out and about she'd strangle me.

Don't tell.

How are you, Mrs. Grelier?

Fine, Mayor.

Francis?

It's Sébastien.

I don't like answering machines.

I got your letter, thanks.

I wanted to wish you good luck at uni.

The big city must be a change.

Anyway...

I'm doing alright.

I'm at the seaside, can you hear the seagulls?

Unfortunately it's raining.

Want to dance?

Come on.
