- Dalva! - Help me!

Jacques! Let him go!

Let me go! Dalva!

- You can't do this! - Hold her down!

Let her go!

- Get him outside! - No!

- Jacques! - Dalva!

- Jacques! - Stop!

- Let him go! - Let her go!

- Jacques! - Dalva!

- Dalva! - Let him go!

Jacques!

Dalva!

Let me go!

Hold her down!

Calm down!

Come on.

Open the door!

Open the door!

Can you undress yourself?

- I have to see your dress. - Not the dress. It's a gift.

I'm sorry Dalva, we need it for the investigation.

- What investigation? - The police are in charge of it.

I don't know much more, but I promise you'll get it back.

We'll lend you some other clothes in the meantime. OK?

OK, you can undress behind the screen.

I'm going to need to examine you.

Can you lift your arms, please?

Can I see under your shirt?

OK, Dalva.

Now I'm going to ask you to lie down on your back.

Can you take off your panties?

Do you know the frog position?

You just have to spread your legs and put your soles together.

I'm going to use a small compress to clean up.

I'm just looking to see if everything is OK.

Hi, Dalva.

I'm Jayden.

I'm a youth worker. And that's my colleague, Zora.

- Welcome, Dalva. - This is the Givet shelter.

You'll stay with us for now, OK?

Don't be afraid, you're safe here.

Not far from your home. You're from Bony?

- She's from Bony, right? - Yes.

Oh Shit. Hey!

- Stop! - Wait!

Stop!

- Let me go! - Calm!

- Stop! - Calm down!

Calm down!

- Are you OK? - Be calm!

It's OK.

It's so you don't wake everyone up. You'll have your room tomorrow.

Here are the lockers where the kids can put their things.

- The canteen, where you'll get meals... - What meals?

There's a chance you'll stay here a while.

What?

- We had a request from the prosecutor. - Who is that?

- Someone who protects your rights. - My rights?

What rights?

Let's continue the visit. This is the living room.

You can come here between 8 AM to 10 PM.

There's a TV and videogames, comic books, table football...

A place where you can be with others. Let's go on?

But why do I have to stay here?

This is the youth workers' office where you can find us.

Always knock before entering.

Wait here for me.

Why does the prosecutor want me to stay here?

He thinks you'd be better here.

Why?

He thinks you might be in danger with your father.

Here, your bed sheets.

You're sharing a room with Samia.

She's here because she got kicked out of school for a week.

Hey, didn't your mum teach you to knock before entering?

What the fuck, bro?

- I've told you to smoke outside! - Guys too!

- That's not in the rules. - Samia!

Who is she?

Her? That's Dalva, your new roommate.

What? Are you serious?

That's her suitcase?

- Samia! - Fuck...

What bullshit!

Replacing Kenza with Barbie.

- Why is my suitcase here? - The police brought your stuff.

They only found these clothes and they looked for a phone. Got one?

No. I don't want to stay here.

You don't get to decide. The judge does.

Meals are at 12 and 7 o'clock.

Okay?

Hey new girl, come sit here, there's a spot for you!

We're nice! We won't bite!

Come here.

Jayden, introduce us to her! It's been five years I'm single!

- Calm down! - Hey, shut up! That's enough!

Please eat quietly!

You want anything?

You need the energy.

Where is he?

- Who? - Jacques.

In a hearing.

- The thing with the camera? - Yeah.

Except we don't film adults.

Did he ask where I was?

Dalva, he won't come to get you. Let's sit down.

Jayden! Jayden, here! Here!

Right here! Just right here!

You can sit her here, please!

- We told you to sit down! - Yeah!

Here's OK for you?

Give Dalva a warm welcome, OK?

I love how you're dressed!

That's a great dress! It's... it's classy!

Yeah, I come from a classy family!

- You've got lot of money... - Why are you here?

I don't know.

Liar. We all know why we're here.

I'm here because my mum is a whore and she can't take care of me.

And you?

Your mum?

So it's your father?

- He's never hurt me. - Whose fault is it?

Sheitan?

You're going too far!

She doesn't even know who it is!

Hello.

- Mr Dorkel? - Yes.

- I'm Mrs Kouten. - It's a pleasure.

Hello.

I'm Leila Kouten, your lawyer.

- I'm here to defend you. - Defend me from what?

Do you understand why you are here?

- Because you made a mistake. - No.

We received a report from the neighbourhood.

The prosecutor ordered an investigation.

We were worried so we removed you from your father's home.

Why?

We've received the results of your tests.

From what I have,

your father is accused of parental kidnapping and incest.

- You know what incest is? - He didn't do anything.

Listen...

- Maybe it's what he wants you to think... - But that's not us.

Why?

- Dalva... - Where is he?

In Reims, in pre-trial detention.

People who commit serious offences go there before trial.

- When will I see him again? - Not before the trial.

Dalva, wait!

Dalva!

What are you doing?

Seeing Jacques. I want to talk to him.

That's going to be tricky.

But I can ask the judge for permission for you to write to him, OK?

- I want to see him! I want to go home. - That's not possible!

Stop!

Stop!

Are you out of your mind?

Move!

Hey, young lady!

What are you doing?

Come back!

- Young lady! - That's forbidden!

Stop!

Where were you going?

Where?

Answer me!

Reims.

Did you really think you can see someone in jail like that?

You ring the bell and they'll let you in?

Stop running away like that.

Look, apart from the shelter, you've got nowhere to go.

Dalva?

Please come in.

I'd like you to understand

what's going on with you and your feelings.

Who said a father and daughter can't love each other?

Well, it's a bit more complicated than that.

A father and daughter can share mutual affection, but...

they can't share sexuality...

And if a father does that to protect her?

- From whom? - From others. Those who don't know how.

To do what?

Love.

Dalva, is there a difference between loving and making love for you?

No, when a woman loves, she must know how to make love.

Look at her dress!

She looks like my grandma from back in the day!

That's too much!

Like, what year it is?

And those old earrings!

Hey Dalva, going to a gala?

It's OK if she wants to be a lady!

Cut it out!

- Put your make-up on. - Mind your own business!

Make an effort, seriously...

- Can I use your lipstick, please? - Yeah, go ahead.

Thank you.

Look at her gross lipstick.

Where is Dalva?

Jayden's been looking for her for ten minutes!

So she has a driver too?

Sorry, miss, but you can't go to school like that.

Why not?

Dress how you want at the shelter, but for school... it's not the same.

- Do you have any advice for me? - Yes.

I've got plenty of advice!

Do you see how you dress?

Look how Barbie is rebelling!

That's enough! Get her something from your room.

Like what? I'll never give that whore a thing!

Hurry up, we're short on time!

Come on, we don't have time!

That's a nice jacket.

Do you have any taste?

That's not the point, a girl your age doesn't dress like that, that's all.

I'm not a girl. I'm a woman.

No.

You're not a woman yet, Dalva.

You are a young girl.

- She's fresh isn't she? - Chill, man. Don't go there!

She's nice!

Silence, please!

There is someone who'd like to introduce herself.

You can tell us where you are from and what your name is.

Dalva Keller. I live in Bony.

What a damn liar! You live at the Givet shelter.

Samia, don't start! That's Dalva's business.

No, it's not!

- She's been talking shit to everyone! - OK, that's enough! Get out!

Lucile!

Do you want to join Samia?

No, sir.

Take a seat.

All right.

I told you we'd talk about the Pythagorean theorem today.

I don't think anyone knows it?

Of course not.

Hey wait, Dalva!

Dalva, wait!

Do you live in Bony?

I'm from there but I've never seen you.

- I just moved away from there. - Really?

Where did you live before that?

- You don't know anymore? - No, I don't.

We move all the time.

Didn't you live in La Havetière?

Heard what happened there?

Stop with that already!

Well, actually, there was a guy who was arrested not long ago

for hiding and raping his daughter.

Some people are crazy.

What the fuck!

I lend you my clothes and you do this?

You couldn't be careful?

You know how hard I worked to pay for this?

I'm sorry...

It's the first time that...

She thinks she's a woman but she's just a baby.

Here's a diaper. I had mine too when I was brought in.

I spoke to your mother on the phone.

We had a long talk.

Did you know she'd filed a complaint for kidnapping?

You're lying. She's the one who left!

Do you remember that?

He cried all the time.

And after she left, did you try to contact her?

What for? She didn't love us anymore!

Dalva, we think it would be good for you to see her again.

But it's not her I want to see.

It's him.

And this? Ain't it cool?

Do you really want me to wear that?

What?

It's what's in!

So?

You have to be in!

To make you happy?

Look, we've got 15 minutes to spend 100 bucks.

We're not leaving empty-handed.

This. Yes or no?

What do I get if I wear that?

What?

Tell the judge I must see my dad and I'll wear it.

You think you can buy me off?

OK, you've got 15 minutes. See you at the till.

Wait!

What?

I've never done this on my own...

You've never shopped before?

Never picked out your clothes?

I don't know...

Look first and then... Do you have a favourite colour?

- You don't have a favourite colour? - No.

Come on! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!

Don't worry! It was the same for Léa, except that it was her uncle.

The guy raped her for a year!

Then something crazy happened!

She started to get huge bumps all over her body

and eczema spots on her arms, belly and thighs...

- How did it end? - Her mum found out!

Poor thing! What shame for the girl!

Yeah, and then the fucking uncle ended up in a psych ward.

Not prison?

My mum said pedophiles don't deserve prison. They deserve the death penalty!

Are you OK, Dalva?

Wait, come back!

Why did you say that?

- Come back! - Shut the fuck up!

Why do you tell these girls about your life?

Don't tell anyone anything at school.

No one can understand.

- I didn't say anything. - Right.

It's because of you they know I'm at the shelter.

And they say my father is a pedophile.

And?

Isn't that the truth?

School and the shelter aren't the same! At the shelter, you can talk.

We don't give a shit what happened to you. We're all scum!

We're not like them, and we will never be!

Samia, come on! We're gonna be late!

I'm ready! Fucking hell!

What's wrong with that fat bitch?

What are you doing?

Pissed your bed?

It's OK, don't worry!

Samia, I've had it with you! It's my last warning!

You're staying?

Hello, darling.

You've grown so much...

That's not my mother.

Listen, seeing each other after all these years

is difficult, isn't it?

What does she want from me?

I've come to find you...

You think you can just come back?

But I didn't leave!

- Yes, you did! - No.

I left your father,

because he was suffocating...

We were going to have joint custody...

but he left with you!

I looked for you everywhere.

- You were five. - Why didn't you find me then?

He moved all the time.

I never stopped thinking about you!

I thought I was going mad!

- If I'd known that... - If you had known what?

That he would abuse you...

- No! - Dalva, stop!

- Stop! - Let her go!

- Calm down! - Let go of me!

- Dalva! - Wait!

Dalva!

What are you doing? Open this door right now!

Dalva, stop!

Dalva?

When will you stop hurting yourself?

When I see him.

Tell me, I want the gossip!

You're a radio. You talk a lot.

No, Medhi, please!

Don't worry!

Dalva, what is this?

How long will your blackmailing last?

Jayden...

It's crazy. You're really freaking them out!

I'll go and see her.

Shut up, he's coming!

Terminator!

What's this all about?

If this goes on, we'll have you hospitalised!

Is that what you want?

You don't decide. The judge does.

- He won't see us anymore. - I had him on the phone yesterday.

He's coming.

Please come in.

Let's go.

Shall we sit?

What's that?

That? It's nothing.

I cut myself shaving.

They give us disposable razors. It's atrocious!

Fortunately, I only shave for you.

You look beautiful.

I've tried.

So have I.

But here, I'm not allowed to iron my shirts.

Me neither.

At the shelter, they say a girl my age doesn't dress like this.

I don't care what they say. I don't believe them.

I told them you didn't do anything to me, that you never forced me,

but nobody listens to me.

They say that with you, I'm in danger,

that what we did is forbidden,

that you know it, that you told them...

I don't believe them. I just pretend. I promise.

But...

Even at school...

They say you're a pedophile.

It's true...

What?

Why do you say that?

What they say is true...

No contact!

Sit back down, please.

Sit down.

Back to the anteroom. We'll come and get you.

Dalva.

Samia told me you were here.

How are you feeling?

Do you want me to leave you alone?

This is all because of you.

What are you talking about?

You told him the same things you told me,

but he believed you.

What things?

That what we were doing was wrong.

Why do you say "we"?

- He taught you to do that. - I never said no.

- There's a difference between... - I don't care.

Now it's too late.

Because of you, he doesn't love me anymore.

I don't think that's true.

What if your father had admitted what he did

because he loves you?

It's because we weren't alone that he said that.

And if it had been just the two of you...

and he'd told you that?

I'm sorry! It's a joke! There's no fire!

I just wanted you to come out.

You want to smoke?

- Try it. It will do you good. - Why?

I don't know. It helps pass the time.

When my mother made rounds,

I used to sit in my room and I knew a round was three cigarettes.

Try it!

I can't.

What do you mean, you can't? You've got cancer?

It's vulgar.

What's vulgar? To smoke?

- It's vulgar for women. - Who told you that?

Was it your dad again?

Don't you want to tell him to fuck off? Hasn't he lied to you enough?

Don't worry, it's the first time. It gets better later.

You're so sensitive!

Don't worry.

It's the cigarette. They put a lot of shit inside them.

That's what makes your eyes sting.

Straighten it out

and put it in.

Pack in some tobacco and then push it in.

It stinks.

- Hi Dalva! How are you? - Hi!

- Where have you been? - Mind your own business, bitch!

- I was sick. - Like being a pittbull?

I'm fine now. I got better.

And how are you guys?

- Wow, your hair has really grown! - Yeah, really!

And isn't that your real colour?

I like hair roots done like that!

- Do you colour your hair? - Yes.

On your own?

No, at the hairdresser's.

Often?

We used to go once a month.

- Isn't your hair fried? - She only did the roots.

- How old were you when you started? - Nine.

- Seriously? - No!

Yes!

Dalva!

Come!

Lucile! Lucile!

What are you doing?

Let's go!

What do you want with them?

Come back! Fuck...

- Can I play? - Sure!

- There's space here! - Shut up!

- Yeah, there's space here! - Shut up!

You can't talk like that!

- You want to play too, pittbull? - Careful what you say!

Move!

- Come on, play! - Dalva?

Truth or dare?

You've never played?

Basically, you need to choose.

Either you choose "truth" and she'll ask you a question,

or "action" and you do something like... "kiss me".

Truth.

Have you sucked off your dad?

- Lucile! - Shut the fuck up! Why do you say that?

Lucile, shut up!

She said "truth" so I asked a question!

- That's not a question! - Then what kind of questions?

Just shut your mouth! And don't say that!

Stop!

Stop!

Stop it, Dalva!

I don't understand why we don't send these children to a specialized centre.

It's always the same.

And when do you plan on putting them back into "your" society?

I'm telling you we are not equipped to face problems like those of Dalva!

I can see that.

Do you realise how serious your actions are?

It'll be a fucking mission to find you a school.

What am I going to do with you?

Fucking up her office!

You should have got the PC!

Why didn't you break the PC?

You pick it up and smash it!

Next time!

She's a natural beast!

Come on! Die! Die!

Yes!

Come on!

Damn, that's bad!

Wait! Go back!

She really had it coming!

Oh my God, she got whacked!

Wow! I'm blown away!

Here, take this!

Respect! Here's to celebrate!

Come on, take it!

Come on, drink!

- Come on drink! - Respect!

You deserve it!

What are you doing? Thief! Someone, get the bottle!

- Come on, give that to me! - I just want a slip!

Just a little sip!

Lou!

Lou!

- Hold on, I'll copy her! - Stop!

Even when you're drunk, you act like a lady!

I'm just kidding! For real, I like the way you are!

- Then teach me! - What?

I don't know, to walk normally.

- Like... me? - Yeah.

Okay, so... Put your hands in your pockets.

I don't have pockets.

Here.

Good. Then look straight ahead.

And relax a little!

Look ahead. Don't smile!

You walk and no one should want to talk to you!

Cut it out, I don't walk like that!

It's not even funny!

Hey guys! Look!

I know it! Look! Look!

Three, two, one, and...

Oh no.

Shit.

Why is she laughing?

What is she doing?

Dalva.

What are you doing?

Hello?

- I'm here to eat with you. - That's not possible.

Why can't I? What's the problem?

Am I just a kid?

- Have you been drinking? - Were you drinking, Dalva?

I think it's a stupid rule.

We'll talk about it tomorrow. Now it's time for bed.

We'll talk about it tomorrow. Get up!

Samia!

It's OK.

Please...

Come on.

Good night.

All right!

One-null. For me!

- Samia! - I'm so good!

Do you hear me?

- Samia! - Come on...

Sweetie, it's important that we have this discussion!

Come on!

Things have been confirmed. Your aunt called. It's good for you...

She's very happy to take you in, you hear me?

But I didn't ask for anything!

Things have been clear from the start. You are just passing through here.

So you give me two weeks before putting me on the street?

- We aren't putting you on the street. - It's the same as going to my aunt's!

- No, it's not. - She's like my mum!

No she's not! She's taken responsibility for you and for us.

She's only doing it for the money!

Just because she'll get money doesn't mean she's not interested.

Do you know her?

You saw her for two hours and now you trust her?

All right, look! We're stopping this discussion,

and we'll resume it when you're able to.

You can all go fuck yourselves!

Is Monthermé far from here?

You have to take the bus.

You can come once the youth workers trust you enough.

Will your aunt be OK with it?

Don't give a fuck about her. She'll never be there.

You're lucky your mum wants you back.

What if it's just for the money?

Are you insane? Your parents get nothing if they take you back.

They won't get paid to raise their own children.

And if I don't want to see my mum again?

Are you serious?

What do you have against her?

What does she do for a living?

I don't know.

Does she have kids?

I don't know.

Future tense, "I will come".

Conditional present tense.

"The problem is not with other people,

change the person if you have a doubt."

Damn it, I don't get it at all.

My dad was a better teacher.

Yeah, but I'm not your father. I'm your youth worker.

And what am I to you?

You?

A young person under the protection of the Youth Care Agency.

Come on, figure it out yourself!

What's the answer? A, B or C?

Come on, you usually get it all correct!

That stinks!

Don't blink.

- Done? - Yes.

Yuck!

- You don't like it? - No, it's ugly!

That's gross!

Why?

I look like my mum!

- It has nothing to do with that! - What?

You and your mum.

You are not the same.

- What are you doing? - Isn't it obvious?

Why? What do you care? Why did you do this to me?

What's that?

A gift.

For what?

To say "thank you".

Forget it, I don't want to go.

Yes, you do! It's going to be great!

Come!

Wow! Look!

Hey guys! Girls!

What?

All right, get over it!

Well, you've just amazed us. Open the present?

Now with those trainers, you can run away from your aunt's!

Sparkling apple juice for everyone!

Hey buddy! Let's keep it decent!

What? You've got a problem?

Go and play somewhere else! - Are you jealous?

- You don't mess around with her! - I'm going to break his face!

- I'm gonna fuck him up! - Don't talk to him like that!

- I didn't do anything! - Go outside!

- I did nothing! - That's enough!

It's OK! Let's keep dancing!

- Why did you leave? - Leave me alone, please!

- No, I won't. What's up with you? - What?

I have to explain how you ruined my night?

I did nothing! It was Chérif!

What the fuck? Was your ass moving by itself?

Why were you acting like a whore?

I'm not a whore!

You are a whore! That's all what you're dad taught you!

Shall I take you home?

No, thanks.

What are you doing here?

Go to bed.

What do you want?

I'm scared.

Scared of what?

Of being alone...

Of never being important to anyone again.

Come here.

It'll be OK.

Stop! Don't touch me!

Hello.

Who is it?

Hello, my name is Dalva Keller.

I was your neighbour.

Did you hurt yourself?

Yes.

Hello Madam, I'm Jayden. I'm here to pick up Dalva.

- Yes, come in. - Thank you.

The girls are up there.

Good thing you called.

Here.

A gift.

Don't move, I'll get you a mirror.

Do you think she'll like it?

You look very pretty.

It reminds me of when you were little.

You know I... I have pictures on my phone.

Do you want to see them?

Look.

- Do you remember? - Yes.

It was... on the hammock in the garden.

And I fell asleep.

I still have that hammock.

And do you have children?

Yes.

You have a little brother.

He's two.

His name is Léo.

I've got some photos of him too.

Look. Here.

Do you have a husband?

We're not married, but I have a partner.

His name is Vincent.

And we both live together... I mean all three of us.

And you? Do you have any friends?

- I have a best friend. - A best friend?

What's her name?

Samia.

That's a pretty name!

But she doesn't live here anymore.

But I'll go and see her.

That's great.

She wanted to know what your job was.

Well, right now, I'm working in a restaurant.

I'm a waitress.

But in September, I'm going back to school

to become a caregiver.

Do you know what you want to do later?

I don't know.

I've never thought about it.

If you want, we can think about it the next time we are together.

Dalva!

Please all rise!

You may sit down.

The Court will examine the case

in which Mr Jacques Keller is the accused.
