ONE NEW MESSAGE 12 MISSED CALLS

DIRECTED BY GAËL LÉPINGLE

ATOMIC SUMMER

Quit bugging me about the GPS.

I told you there was a rock. You ran right over it.

What an idiot!

-Why bother with GPS? -Who cares?

-It ignores the shortcuts. -Call this a shortcut?

You do get that your GPS doesn't know the shortcuts?

This is a shortcut?

Yeah, I followed the other cars!

I told you to go left.

Hey, guys, Victor's here.

What are you doing?

It's fucked up.

-Did you hear? -Charlotte left a message.

We were on our way when this dumbass crashed the car.

Give me a break.

It was faster!

You freaked out, man.

I was taking a shortcut!

Seriously?

Come on.

Shit. How'd you end up like this? Go again.

The axle is fucked, guys.

Are you sure?

Fuck.

What do we do now?

Charlotte said to go to Châlons.

Honestly, guys, I really can't walk.

Come here. I'll give you a piggyback.

What's happening? What's the radio saying?

That there's a problem with a pump.

Well, actually,

they don't seem to know.

They said to wait for the prefect's press conference.

So creepy.

Look at my foot!

Am I hurting you?

I can't get through. It cuts out.

Everyone's calling all at once.

When did they sound the alarm?

About half an hour ago.

We should be miles away.

Hello?

There's no signal.

Do you want me to check your phone?

No, I lost it.

We went out last night. We were on our way home.

OK, my sister is at the meeting point in Châlons.

She says no one is coming

and she heard the bus drivers left already.

We can't keep going. Tiffany is in a lot of pain

and we don't know if we'll be evacuated.

Forget it. I know what you're thinking.

We have to get away. It's only four miles. One hour, max.

Exactly.

It isn't just the amount of radiation,

it's how long you're in it.

You could find shelter. Someone might help. I don't know.

That's just it. You don't know, so give us a break.

We need to avoid exposure. We risk more out here.

No, guys, forget it. We have to get away.

Fine.

What about you?

I've got my own problems.

-Do as you say, not as you do? -Louis, please.

Don't waste time.

Charlotte?

Finally! Where were you?

I've been calling. Didn't you hear?

I know. I had my headphones on.

Where are you?

We're almost at Châlons.

We left 15 minutes ago.

OK. Did my parents get away?

Yes. We spoke on the phone. I said I'd call you.

It's too late now. You need to--

No, I'm coming, Charlotte.

I'm coming to Châlons.

You can't. Anyone left must find shelter.

-What? -You don't get it.

They're talking about a nuclear disaster.

Don't be stupid. You're in danger, not me.

-Get back. -What is it?

Are you insane?

You want to get in, right?

Is anyone there?

-Gently. -OK.

Victor was acting weird.

I can't believe the way he bailed on us.

Six months of silence,

then he just takes off.

No signal.

Wait...

Nope.

I think they took the PC.

Are you sure?

There's only the printer cable.

Take my phone and try to get a signal.

It's Fournier's house.

-No way. -Yes way.

Oh, yeah.

Did you miss us?

Do you have a signal?

No, forget it. My battery died.

I looked for a charger, but no luck.

I've one bar, but it won't last.

We need a signal. The landline is OK, but...

-One... -One.

It's all in capitals.

Yeah, but...

-Four... -Four?

I'm not repeating it again. Try paying attention.

It's not working. The code must have changed.

It's nothing, Dad. Just a sprain.

Is Fournier paranoid? Who'd hack their Wi-Fi?

Yes, I love you too. Bye. My dad's on his way.

Please work.

...military trucks are gradually joining the blockades

around the power plant.

No access to Saint-Nicolas-la-Chapelle,

Le Mériot, Marnay-sur-Seine, and roads are being closed

to the south at Fontaine-Mâcon and Saint-Aubin.

Emergency services are preparing.

Eighty standby responders were immediately

mobilized this morning. The plant's crisis manager...

-I hope they're prepared. -...triggered the ERP...

-Is it not scary enough? -...alerted the authorities.

If they're expelling it,

it must be overheating.

The pump just needs repairing.

The off-site emergency plan was launched

in agreement with the Minister for the Interior

at around 5:20.

An alarm sounded in all the buildings.

We were grouped together and then--

A message from the Interior Minister

and the Nuclear Safety Authority.

Do you know what to do in a nuclear emergency?

Anyone outside

risks irradiation...

What is this?

...by inhalation or contact

with particles on skin or clothes.

Shelter is the best form of protection.

This reduces the risk of irradiation

and contamination by 80%.

Close all doors and windows,

and turn off any ventilation or heating systems.

Here.

Aren't we just confining the lounge?

We'll be gone in an hour anyway.

With the roads like this, Tiffany's dad...

Victor, either it's fake news

or it's serious.

If it's serious, cardboard won't save us.

...around the Earth several times.

Once we have that,

we don't know a lot.

There are also questions

about the consequences of radiation poisoning

for the population in the immediate vicinity.

There is a nearby village of 1,200 inhabitants.

We know that residents rushed to pharmacies

for iodine tablets...

Hold on. Guys?

Élodie and Cindy are OK. Anthony got stuck, but it's sorted.

OK.

Are you sure? Is it safe?

I don't know what we should be doing.

I'll be quick.

Look. It's over there.

OK, hold these. Thanks.

I can see it, but I won't fit.

I have to remove some tiles.

Don't worry. I can go.

No.

Here, take these. Give me a leg up.

Wait.

Hold still.

Operators, whether it's EDF, AREVA or ESEVA,

stand firm behind the authorizations of the Nuclear Safety Authority.

The NSA closely monitors the plant,

as is the case for other plants in the region.

The NSA takes responsibility...

Sorry.

It's fine.

I've got signal. It's Charlotte. I'll call her.

Voicemail.

With potassium, plants grow well.

They seek out potassium in the soil for growth.

However, there are radioactive cesium atoms on the ground.

Since it is in the same column as potassium,

"K", with the same characteristics,

the plants mistakenly ingest cesium.

In turn, as we eat, our bodies mistake cesium for potassium

and it enters our muscles.

Similarly, our organism seeks iodine for our thyroid.

If we eat or breathe in radioactive iodine,

it will damage the tissue of the thyroid gland

and can cause cancer,

as well as hair loss

and stomach issues,

such as nausea, vomiting blood and diarrhea.

From 0.5 to 2 sieverts,

the risk is limited to nausea or vomiting,

but from 4 to 4.5 sieverts,

the risk of death for those exposed is 50%.

Chernobyl workers who died soon after the disaster

were exposed to more than six sieverts.

Sensitivity to radioactive iodine is increased for babies

with prenatal exposure.

The baby's thyroid starts concentrating...

Is it the case at this plant?

Yes.

Is there a risk to the containment building

where the nuclear reactor is housed?

This must be some kind of joke.

Why us?

Are you sure it's airtight?

...cables could be severed if impacted...

We should have left on foot.

Driving would have been better.

Was I talking to you?

Precisely. We have seen

that the pipes in the pump stations

were so corroded that they wouldn't withstand a seismic shock.

It's the press conference.

We have confirmed a defect in the seal of a primary pump,

which could cause abnormally large water leakage

in the reactor building.

We are working on the cooling system

to avoid the risk of meltdown in the reactor vessel.

For the time being, this has been averted,

through controlled and measured discharge.

This discharge was conducted in maximum security conditions,

using a sand filter system,

which has limited the extent of the pollution.

According to the INES scale,

this is level four.

Level four? Shit!

You don't know what it is.

Yes, I know what it means.

It is important to remember that we have learned

from past experiences.

Once again, at this time,

the population is not exposed to any danger.

Thank you.

The meeting is adjourned without answering

several questions, particularly surrounding the weather,

as low pressure from the west

has been forecast this afternoon, and we know...

Storms are bad news.

Why?

The rain deposits radioactive particles on the ground.

How do you know that?

Oh, yeah. Your training, right?

Hold on, guys.

Sorry, but plants aren't my thing.

They've been discharging radiation and it's supposedly controlled.

And a storm can undo all of that?

So it isn't controlled at all?

No, they have no control over anything.

The problem is that the equipment is just junk.

-It's fucked. It's going to shit. -Hey, this is France.

-What do you mean? -They'd say if it were serious.

Do you think they told the people in Fukushima?

EVACUATION FAILURES

Victor, come here.

How is he sleeping?

We were out all night, remember?

He's cute when he's asleep.

Like a little kid.

He hasn't changed.

It's like being back at boarding school.

I remember. He never left your side.

Charlotte?

Victor, can you hear me?

Where are you?

I don't know what happened. I bled a bit but I'm fine.

-What did the doctor say? -I'm fine. I just need to rest.

-I need to tell you something. -What about the baby?

You need to see a gynecologist.

Just listen!

This is important.

You know Mrs. Aupier's husband?

He was on shift at the plant last night.

He said it wasn't a controlled discharge.

There's a leak...

They made up the discharge thing to avoid panic,

but that's why it is important that you know.

You must stay inside, OK? The doctors are here. I must go.

-Charlotte? -I'll call later.

So, this is where you're hiding?

All this news is stressing me out.

I can't stand the smell of stale beer and sweat.

Don't you miss it?

You're such a goof.

I didn't say anything, but...

Charlotte is pregnant.

I'm stressed because I should be there.

She spoke to the wife of a worker at the plant.

Apparently it's an actual leak.

They said all that to stop people panicking.

What?

Until now we've been in an evacuation zone,

but if it's a leak that means

that nobody can get in. My dad isn't coming.

No, don't say that.

Don't start with conspiracies.

I don't doubt Charlotte.

But at times like this, rumors are always flying around.

You could have told us about the baby.

I mean, it's good news, right?

I didn't know how.

You were afraid we'd roast you.

No, you're right.

Nice apartment, a little garden, a sweet job at the council...

Have you seen yourselves?

A soldier and a nurse. You have plans too.

Bullshit.

Two lousy placements and no school wants me.

No big deal. It's me and the old folks now,

and I'm fine with it.

This whole leak thing is crazy.

It's invisible.

It could be right beside us.

I want answers. What should we be doing?

Or not doing? Can we drink the tap water or not?

What happens when we go to buy our groceries?

And the vegetables, will they be contaminated?

Anthony, you live a few blocks from the plant.

Tell us what happened this morning.

I woke up at about 4 a.m.

I called my girlfriend.

Did you think it was a nuclear accident,

like Chernobyl?

I didn't know what it was, but it could be dangerous.

I picked her up, along with the cat and everybody else...

What about online?

Did you find anything?

Hold on. This is something else.

You work outside of the evacuation perimeter.

Might you have gone to work, like any other day?

What stopped you?

Given where we are, we aren't going to risk going outside.

On the other hand they're saying it isn't dangerous,

but it doesn't seem like a good idea to me.

What are you doing?

I managed to download an app upstairs.

It's like a Geiger counter. It measures radiation.

It's loading. Look.

That means bankruptcy.

You have the state on one side

that is clearly withholding information.

The people are on the other, bystanders

suffering from the decisions made higher up.

With the nuclear waste they're dumping into rivers,

plutonium in the Loire,

they denied it for 35 years.

I've heard stories like this since I was a kid.

But when you grow up beside a plant,

you know it's a risk, right?

People don't really talk about it.

They prefer to be close to a school

because it's practical.

When my dad left,

I stayed with my mom.

It was easier to send me to the village school.

I get it. She had her own life and stuff.

Having a kid around wasn't always her idea of fun.

I'm thinking about afterwards.

The businesses that opened here and all that.

Like Cédric's step-dad, he has his business here.

He'll have to move away.

I hope it won't come to that.

Tape? Are you serious?

Yes. If you cover the lens,

it blocks the light but not the gamma rays,

so it can calculate the level of radiation.

Try over there.

Sorry.

It's not working.

It's loading. Just wait.

It says 1.02 millisieverts.

Is that a lot?

I don't know, but they said that it shouldn't exceed five sieverts.

2.23.

Try that one over there.

4.02.

Time to go.

It might catch us, but at least we'll be out.

Vic?

Yeah.

-Where's your bag, Tiff? -In the office.

Wait, don't go!

My mom's coming.

-Your mom? -Really?

-Where is she? -On her way.

She sent me a WhatsApp.

I wanted to surprise you.

She's coming. We have to stay put.

I can't take it, guys. I need to get out.

It isn't normal to stay cooped up. We'll go crazy.

...six-mile zone around the plant,

evacuated this morning, is now in full lockdown.

Only rescue services can pass to attend

to those who couldn't be evacuated.

With the saturated phone network,

it is difficult to make contact

with those affected.

The more time that passes...

...still no explanation. Radio silence...

Check it out. It's loaded.

There's ammo.

What the fuck, Cédric?

I had to try it!

Dumbass.

Fuckers are always looting houses. You never know.

Put that down. You're being ridiculous.

What if I did this?

You can't handle a car, so a rifle should be fun!

-Is that a joke? -Let me go.

You won't let it go! How does it feel?

Put it down, Cédric.

He asked for it. Well?

Cédric, please.

Let me go.

He got the picture, Vic.

Thanks.

What are you doing?

I don't know. My chest feels tight.

-Are you OK? -Yes.

I need air. I'll be quick.

No, you aren't going anywhere.

You're not suffocating.

I swear. I can't breathe.

-Do you have asthma? -No.

Look at me. Look into my eyes.

Sync your breathing to mine, OK?

When I inhale, you inhale. When I exhale, you exhale. OK? Right.

Meanwhile, let me remind you of the news

that just came in.

Apparently, there is a crack in the building

which appeared overnight and led the authorities

to consider the scenario of a controlled discharge.

Calm down. It might not be true.

How can it not be true?

If the radio says so, it must be true.

-No! -Why wouldn't it be true?

Victor, don't go outside. Victor, no!

-Call your mom! -Don't get upset.

-There's no point. -He can call his mom.

I've been telling you for an hour.

It's scary. Why is it so scary?

Charlotte was right. There's a leak.

We're at level five. That has never happened in France.

Fuck...

The first storms are expected...

And they've forecast storms.

Meanwhile, let me remind you of the news that just came in...

Where's Victor?

...a crack in the building...

Outside.

What?

Victor, get back here. Or find shelter when you get this.

The rain starts in ten minutes. Outside, you risk irradiation.

Voicemail.

I'll go get him.

Wait, Louis!

Victor!

What are you playing at?

-Why'd you take off like that? -I have to get to Charlotte.

You're out of your mind coming out here.

-Fuck! -Victor, there's a storm.

We're at level five.

I brought you some things. Put this on.

...the exact size of the crack.

Experts are attempting to measure it.

Many criticize EDF

for initially describing the discharge

as intentional and controlled,

when it was, in fact, an accidental leak.

That's Mrs. Remi's house.

Wait here.

Mrs. Remi?

Shit!

Hurry! There's a car!

Stop!

Our friends are in a farmhouse nearby.

Could you pick them up?

Can't you see?

Seriously? It's just stuff! How did you get through?

We barely made it, but it's locked down.

The army won't let anyone through.

We can take one, but not both.

Are you kidding?

Real people need evacuating.

Why do you need this crap?

He won't take us like this. Calm down.

There's enough fucking space.

What's it to be?

We'll fit in the back. No stress. We can fit in the back.

One, not two.

Get in, Victor. It should be you.

What are you waiting for? Don't worry about us!

Well?

Screw you!

Why did it end between us?

We had a good time, right?

Yeah.

Whenever we talked about kids,

it was just for fun.

It isn't so funny now.

Are they back?

It isn't Fournier.

Cédric!

No, this way, Victor!

It's Charlotte's dad.

Hello?

Yes.

No, but...

What?

Right.

OK.

Yes.

OK.

Yes, I understand.

Tell her that...

I love her and...

to take care of herself.

Yes.

She lost the baby.

Come on, Victor!

Let's go. Get a move on.

Victor, come on!

Tiff?

Djamila?

Cédric?

Don't come any closer.

-It's on our clothes. -Shit.

What happened?

Why did you take off like that?

Yeah. While you were freaking out,

-some looters showed up. -No way.

Yes way!

We're screwed.

Shit.

With a broken door, the chimney and rain, the cellar is all we have.

They took Tiffany's phone. And mine too.

-I tried calling you. -My phone died.

I still have mine.

OK. Where did you put the gun?

I hid it.

We needed it.

Why did you leave without saying anything?

Go take a wash.

The water is off, so use the bottles.

Wait, don't touch me.

What's wrong?

What's going on?

Charlotte lost the baby.

How was it outside?

Just deserted.

Almost normal.

I will say it again as clearly and as firmly as possible.

The unwavering dedication of the government...

...the state... full and total... transparency.

Look, guys, this is insane.

His cups are all down here.

Oh, yeah.

Man, I was such a big fan of his.

I wanted to be a champion too.

Look, it's iodine tincture.

I think it's a disinfectant.

Is it like a tablet? I mean, does it work?

You have to take it within an hour. It's pointless now.

We've nothing to lose.

Do you know what dose to take?

No idea.

What was that? Was it a fuse?

What's happening?

Wait. Come over here. This way.

Wait... ouch. Wait, I need to hold on to you.

Maybe it's a general blackout.

Was it thunder?

What was that?

Is it the guys from earlier?

Why would they come back?

It must be your mom.

No, it can't be.

Why not?

Because she isn't coming.

What do you mean?

She was never coming.

What? Why did you say she was coming?

I didn't think we were in danger.

It just came out...

You wanted to leave

and I didn't want to.

Is he for real?

Honestly...

I wanted to stay together.

I felt happy with you and...

Louis, don't kid around...

Wait, shh.

Who's there?

This isn't funny, guys.

-What was that? -I don't know.

There's nothing there.

-Fuck. -It's me.

My candle went out.

I felt something.

What?

I felt something wet.

-There! -Where?

Over there!

Hey, guys, check this out.

Cédric?

Don't touch me. Get out of here!

Get the fuck away!

-Get out! -Calm down. It's just a chicken.

I don't care!

Fuck.

It burns.

Cédric? What happened?

Don't worry. It's just my arm.

What happened?

Fuck!

Put that down and put pressure on it.

I'll be sick.

You're no fucking use.

Lift his arm.

It was me. I...

I shot the gun. I don't know what happened.

I lost control. I'm sorry.

Hold on.

Fuck.

Go gently with the tourniquet. It can be dangerous.

OK. Put his arm down.

OK, you can let go.

No stress, Dja-Dja.

It could happen to anyone.

It can even happen to trained soldiers.

Wait, are you calling her Dja-Dja now?

I'm just asking because "Dja-Dja"...

You think it's funny?

It was worth it just to see you in your bra.

Sorry. Here.

It's getting hot in here!

Vic, you bastard.

You idiots.

I can't breathe.

Hey.

OK. Look at me.

I need you beside me.

I felt sick when you left.

I did too.

Do you think the explosion we heard was...

the big one? Like Chernobyl?

It was louder than thunder.

What if it was?

We could write a message to our loved ones. Just in case.

I can't.

I'll do it.

Thank you.

Did you speak to your mom?

Yes, we spoke.

She said it was better to stay isolated

than go outside. It's too dangerous.

She was at home alone, panicking.

You know what she's like.

She didn't want to come get us.

Can I read it to you?

Yeah.

OK, here goes.

"If it all ends today,

"I don't know why I didn't live life to the full.

"So many images flash across my mind.

"I still have so much to learn.

"I thought I'd learn to speak Berber one day

"because it is my grandma's mother tongue.

"I thought I'd learn to surf too.

"I often think about it as I'm falling asleep.

"I'm on a board, surfing the waves.

"If I never get to do it, it'll be such a waste

"because it must be so much better in real life.

"I don't know what else to say.

"I never had big ambitions.

"I just wanted to live like everyone else.

"To be happy.

"You are my friends, my real family,

"and I thought we had our whole lives ahead of us.

"I get scared at night, as if it is my last.

"I'm scared of falling asleep, like a child.

"I don't even know whom I'm writing to.

"It feels like there's nobody left."

They're here.

Sir?
