I have the tide in my heart, that goes back to me like a sign.

I'm dying for my little sister, for my childhood and for my swan,

a ship according to precision with which it is stowed in the port.

Cry light-years for my sky, and I let him do it.

I am the Jersey ghost, the one who the nights of revelry are presented

to throw you the mist in kisses and collect you in their laughter

like fishing nets in July where the solitary bass shines,

the one that I saw shining... (in the fingers of sand of the earth).

"I have a lot of success with girls.

"A wink for a date.

"Charm, that's all.

"She will come back

"when night falls.

"I'll put on my white gloves.

"It's my particular style.

"Different from everyone else.

"He likes that.

"And we will dance the cha-cha-cha.

"I have a lot of success with girls.

"The charm is what does it all.

"A wink for a date.

"She will come back

"Maybe you'll call me

"to tell me that you don't forget,

"who doesn't forget that evening..."

COSTUMES AND MASKS

¡Nicolas!

Have you washed your hands? - Yeah.

You heard me?

Half of the wheel broken

and the side mirror hanging.

The car is like us.

To sell it second hand

or for scrapping.

Like the three of us.

What, still sleeping?

Get up!

Come!

Come on, go to sleep.

Get out of my sight.

Come on, go.

Quiet!

Give me 2 minutes

Why plug the cows?

Grasshopper.

There was in the South.

The grasshopper shell

They fry it and make balls...

Balls that are very crispy.

They are more than grasshoppers,

They will be locusts...

Look, come, play this.

Ven a ver.

Come and sit.

Imagine that you are in front of people.

No, standing. So.

You tickle me,

but gently.

Come on, tickle me.

- Thank you. - You are welcome.

You can take it sitting down.

How are you, Nicolas?

Can I have a glass of water?

What are you doing here? Sit down.

I was thirsty.

I, in fact, am not thirsty.

Do you want coke?

Finish the water.

Are you coming home?

Sir, do you think I will pass?

It's going to be difficult, boy.

You're a good kid, but you don't do anything.

What if I make an effort?

It should be a great effort.

and stop putting

one misspelling per word.

Or even two or three per word.

Can't anyone help you at home?

No.

Do you read something from time to time?

Not much.

You have to read to avoid mistakes.

- How old are you? - Fourteen.

With so few years,

repeating would not be serious.

But repeating it would make me ashamed.

Do you know what you want to do in life?

You have a future, like everyone else.

Don't know.

"No future", ¿no?

Are you clear about your future or not?

This... I hope.

You wait... You wait what?

Whatever comes... the future.

You should know that he doesn't come alone.

¿Francois?

Go.

Cheer up. See you tomorrow.

Let's see, what time is it?

Eight.

- You think? - Yeah.

And at what time

Have you finished classes today?

This... at four twenty.

How long delay?

3 hours 40 min, I think.

3 hours 40...

At home there are some rules.

If you come back when you want,

It is not a house of order.

It's something just to eat and sleep.

Sorry, but there was

traffic problems.

Of.

What homework do you have for tomorrow?

I have to read this book.

What do you have to do with it?

Read it in its entirety.

Hurry up, take off your coat.

If not, you're going to catch a cold.

when you have to go out.

And, you know, the house is not a place

that one wants only

to eat and sleep.

At least answer!

"Spring Awakening"

What a plan!

Nicolás, do you want to go out?

You are not at home! Get out quickly.

Where are you going?

A Belle-Île-en-Mer.

Is far. I don't go that far.

Well.

How old are you?

Nineteen.

Nineteen years old and you're wandering

at night alone on the road?

Yeah.

Why are you going to Belle-Île?

I'm going to see my grandmother.

Bele-Île is far away, you know?

I can leave you in Nantes.

You will have already come a long way.

OK.

And grandma, does she know you're going?

Yeah.

He's going to pick me up at the station.

To the station?

Have you ever been with her

at Belle-Île station?

I was there a long time ago.

I almost don't remember.

There is no train there. In an island.

If you call yourself "Belle-Île"

It means it's an island, right?

Ah! She didn't remember anymore

that we had to cross the sea.

For that reason I can't take you.

By car it is not possible.

Apart from it being very far away.

And do you have money for the boat?

For...? Oh yeah.

What is your job?

Now, you know, I don't work anymore.

I'm going to see my grandchildren.

They are about your age.

But I wouldn't let them wander at night

along the roads.

My grandmother is waiting for me.

What did you do before?

I worked in insurance.

He insured vehicles.

This is Belle-Île.

Ah, Belle-Île.

This letter is addressed to François.

That is your name?

Yes, otherwise I wouldn't have it.

The letters should not be read.

Sorry.

Come on, little one, wake up.

Wake up, boy.

Wake up.

Wake up.

Do you have a cigarette?

No.

What are you doing here?

I do not know.

Are you cold?

No.

You're not from here.

No.

Why did you get up so early?

I do not know.

Do you want to come with me?

Yeah.

There's little left.

Take off your shoes.

And leave it out.

Close the door.

Put down the bag.

Put it there.

Why do you wear your hair so long?

You should cut it.

Put it there.

Next to the sofa where you are going to sleep.

On the shelf.

Go to the fountain to get water.

- What's happening? - I can not find it.

Where the garbage.

You turn the containers over,

you go to the tube and open it.

Take care to close it well. Understood?

Well go, hurry up. And close it!

Sit down.

How old are you?

Catorce.

I have to pee. You?

Are you sure not?

It's right here.

Watch the water.

What do you usually breakfast?

I do not know.

There is only this.

You have money?

Yeah.

How much?

I do not know.

Stop always saying "I don't know",

do you understand?

What is your name?

What is your name?

Don't you have a name?

Nicolas.

Do you want to do your hair?

You can use my comb.

Do you have a girlfriend?

No.

- Huh? - No.

Because you are alone?

I do not know.

Go to Belle-Île.

Where is that?

At sea.

At sea? That does not exist.

Who wrote this to you?

No... Nobody wrote to me.

I found it.

Have you left home?

Yeah.

Go get bread.

Do I only bring bread?

Crossed backs, pan

and currant jam.

I forgot about it. You have money?

- Yeah. - A ver.

You pass the containers,

you cross a field,

and then there are cows.

Cross backs and a baguette.

Cross backs and a baguette.

And jam.

"I know, Wanda.

"It's those stupid people to blame

"Children's Stories.

"Créeme,

"There are no such brutal beings."

Why haven't you brought more than this?

Where are the croissants?

There were no croissants left.

What have you eaten?

Anything.

Because? You could have done it.

I don't know. She wasn't hungry.

Sit down.

You will sit here. It's your place.

Have you already made love?

No.

You do not feel like?

I do not know.

Do you want to see photos of the cat I had?

Well.

Look at my box.

You'll see how I open it.

Prepared?

It can also be locked,

but I don't have a key.

Do you have clean hands?

A ver.

Wash your hands

so you don't dirty my cats.

Wash them here.

Let's see. Dry yourself with the cloth.

A ver.

Sit down.

Take them like this.

So.

Is he. Don't you think it's beautiful?

- What was it called? - Kitty.

My brother, before he died.

Wait, I'll take a photo.

It will be a memory.

Thus, I will have you among my cats.

You see? She turns on like that.

Smile.

Smile.

More. A real smile.

Now you.

Have you seen how it works? Wait.

Don't let your fingers come out.

Now, both.

Here.

Prepared? Smile.

Smile.

Enough for now.

My photo box is okay, right?

I adore her. She is my treasure.

When I'm bad, I look at the photos.

Come, I'll show you something.

Come sit down.

Wait.

Look. It's mine.

Which prefer?

About what?

From what I have taught you.

I do not know.

Don't always say that, you understand?

Don't always say "do you understand?"

I'll show you how the lights work.

Turn on at night

only if you need it. Look.

You squeeze here.

You've seen? You turn on like this.

Only if you need it,

if it is very dark.

But if it is dark, you will sleep.

You have understood?

You have understood?

Responds.

Yeah.

Clear the table.

I teach you how to do it.

The jam, in the cupboard.

Everything in its place.

The bread, in the bread basket.

There is on the floor. Pick it up.

For.

Don't you know how easy it is?

No, it's wet.

Don't put it on the stove.

Don't leave it on paper.

The paper, in the trash.

The spoon, in the sink: it's dirty.

Here, when it's washed.

Sit down.

See how I do it.

They are small for you, but

I put them on.

Not you: you would break them.

You are watching? Look!

Look at me.

Well, now look. You do like this.

This too.

Altogether. So far.

Then again.

Then, it's done like this.

Then, don't throw them away.

The crumbs. Don't throw them away.

So. Already.

You rinse the sponge.

Now you wash the spoon.

The dishes, here.

Turn off the faucet quickly.

Still, you will go to the source. There are leaks.

It is not advisable to take risks.

The water there is free. Not here.

Wait, come. Take.

If you want to brush your teeth,

you take my brush.

My brush. There.

I was going to give you a t-shirt,

but I can't find it. You look for it.

It's black. I don't use it anymore.

Save it.

¡Charly!

Go!

You can stay here,

so we can talk a little.

It is better not?

You stay here, you understand?

¡Charly!

He's going to be screaming until he arrives.

Until you get.

I never find the hole.

I'm always close to him, but...

Look, can you help me?

That's it.

I have to rush.

I will not be able.

¡Charly!

Take one of the blankets

from my bed, if you want.

Not the others: I like them a lot.

You sleep there with her

and then you fold it well.

You keep it to me?

There's no need to drop this.

Only that cover, not the others.

OK.

Lock it tight if you go out, okay?

Hour.

They are 5'97. Thank you.

And I return 44'03.

Here you go.

I bought that so that...

I have prepared beans

and I bought croissants.

Did you buy it with my money?

No, with mine.

But you haven't washed the saucepan.

This is disgusting.

Go wash the saucepan.

Close the door, okay?

Happens.

Why did you do that?

It is not my birthday. He is yours?

No, because yes.

And with what money did you buy that?

With mine.

Is the jam made from currants?

Yeah.

And I bought cooked beans.

Have you bought cooked?

With your money?

Yeah.

Do you like beans?

Yeah.

Of.

The stove has to be turned off, you see?

If not, spend.

It's a waste.

And we could suffocate.

Gas can kill, did you know?

You have to always be aware.

Don't get lost for a second.

Do you feel like dying?

No.

Nor I. So turn off the stove.

Do you want me to recite something?

What does "recite" mean?

That's saying something.

That?

Recite what?

A text.

Want?

Yes, search for the text.

You see the sea here, right?

But it's not real.

It's the same as the one on the postcard.

Yes but no.

What do you put here?

"I'm asking."

"I want"?

I ask and you answer.

I do not like reading.

It's useless.

"What were you dreaming about, Wanda,

"lying by the stream?"

My turn?

Yeah.

"In nonsense, in madness."

"With the eyes open?"

"I had a dream.

"He was a poor beggar.

"He saw me on the street since 5 o'clock,

"having to meditate all day,

"whether it rained, whether it was windy,

"surrounded by heartless people.

"I came home at night

"shivering from hunger, from cold,

"and if he had not obtained the coins

"and my father they disobey..."

What do you put here?

Discounted.

That. What does it mean?

Well. He hit me.

"I know what's wrong with you, Wanda. It's your fault.

"from stupid children's stories.

"Such bad people do not exist.

"Oh, sí."

Which is it...? What do you call him?

Melchior. "Oh yes, Melchior,

"Pegan a Martha Bessel

"every night."

"We should stop the father

"and deliver her from him."

"They have never hit me, Melchor.

I follow?

"I have done wrong in imagining

"who suffers beatings.

"I have beaten myself

"to feel what she feels."

"I don't think one gets better

by this system."

"Why system?"

"By force of blows."

"With this drumstick, for example?"

What is a drumstick?

Don't know.

Because it says?

She has a rod.

I want to make you recite your text,

but if she says

"with this drumstick, for example"

and there is no drumstick, that is not reciting.

I do not know.

Grab this like it's a drumstick.

It is thin and hard like a drumstick.

I repeat.

"With this drumstick, for example?"

"How hard it is, and how fine."

"I bet your punches sting."

"Would you hit me a little, just so I know?"

- "¿A quién?" - "A mí."

"Don't worry, I won't hit you."

"I allow you."

"Never, my daughter."

"But I'm asking you, Melchior."

"How can you ask for such a thing?"

Huh?

No? What should she say?

You don't know that, huh?

"They have never hit me."

Now I have to give it to you.

"I beg you. I beg you."

"I'm going to teach you how to beg me."

"She hits."

I read it, although he doesn't say it.

"My God, I don't feel anything."

"No wonder, with so many petticoats!"

She has no petticoat in her hands.

You must have them on your legs.

It has to be done well.

Do it here. Take. Wait...

"I'm not surprised..." No, you're going.

"No wonder, with so many petticoats!"

"Hit my legs then."

"Wanda."

"He hits her very hard." You go.

"¡You're caressing me!"

"Wait, witch, I'm coming

"to get the demon out of your body."

"He throws down the drumstick and gets..."

You can throw it on the ground

but then you wash it, okay?

"He throws the drumstick

"and he starts punching him"

No, not this.

"that make him scream horrible screams."

- Who is screaming? -You.

Can be done. How do I do it?

Yelling.

Yeah, but how does she scream?

"Ah."

"Ah."

"Not caring, he shakes him with fury

"shedding thick tears

"that flood his cheeks."

Is he the one crying?

Well cry.

Pretend to cry.

Go "buah", I don't know.

It was you who asked to recite.

Pretend to cry. And I scream.

Cry harder.

Let it come out from within you.

That's it.

Shall we not draw the curtain?

No.

That's it?

I thought we would make it to the end.

Why do you have to learn it?

Don't know.

Don't be disgusting!

In front of me, I'm eating!

Put something in the glass.

We have thrown away the spoon.

take a spoon

and pour yourself into your glass.

Lego, like.

No no.

Well, pour yourself into your glass.

Don't eat from the same jar.

What things you do!

You want money?

No, what I have.

You can say my name: Charly.

Of.

Say it, then.

Charly.

How did you know?

I heard the man calling yesterday.

- What was my name? - Charlie.

And that's how you found out?

Yeah.

I have to go.

I haven't seen the time.

I'm running late.

What I do? I'm running late.

Have you eaten your jam?

Do you think we can waste it?

You have to take it.

Have you eaten before?

You never eat when I'm with you.

Make sure we can eat together.

Pick up.

Do you pick up?

Yeah.

Don't look at my bowl. Pick up.

I'm not leaving until you pick up.

Get up. Pick up.

So.

Go!

You haven't picked up.

Take my brush if you want.

Do you know where it is? You have understood?

Ven a ver.

I give this to you.

I won't wear it anymore.

You change and you will sleep well.

You haven't washed the table.

Do you think it is collected without washing?

Put on your shirt to see.

If it doesn't go well for you, it's useless to give it to you.

Looks Good?

Yeah.

Can you save it for me with the rest?

You keep it to me?

¡Charly!

Leave.

You do not sleep?

You do not have cold?

I have a bag of water.

We'll fill it tomorrow, do you think?

Yeah.

- Are you cold? - Yeah.

Fold your things.

Come.

Fold your clothes.

Take out the trash.

Take the broom.

The yellow.

Rub the carpet.

You have to do it every morning.

Wash your hands.

You wash them there.

Have you washed them well?

Have you scrubbed well?

Yeah.

Why have you left home?

I do not know.

Do you love your parents?

I don't know them.

How come you don't know them?

I do not know.

Do you have lice?

No.

Because I know you've worn my hat.

Do not say no,

I know where I put my things.

I just wanted to see it up close.

I hope you haven't put it on.

I don't feel like catching lice!

I don't have lice.

Mira.

I brought you this.

That?

Shoes.

They are for me?

Yeah.

They are beautiful. For my collection.

I already have four pairs.

But these are the most beautiful.

Mira.

Do you see how I walk with them?

They are beautiful.

They even have shiny ones.

Very kind of you!

They are fine, but I can't take them.

I'll keep them here.

Good? You have understood?

I put them with my collection,

with the others I have.

They are very pretty.

Look, I'll make room for them.

For now, I'll leave them here.

See you later.

"Charly, I left the money

"in your box, with..."

(With many spelling mistakes.)

Oh, is that you?

Goes into.
