Final checks, then we shoot.

We're almost done.

It's fine.

The bathrobe.

Silence on the set.

Lie back.

Pull this up.

Not too high, or...

Like that.

Let's go.

It's fine.

Can we start rolling?

Roll camera. 54/5...

Slate.

Rolling.

Raise the sheet.

Not too much because...

Action!

Blood! Blood!

Pump! Pump!

Blood, more blood!

Eyes bulging.

More, more...

Nice. Go back down.

Fall back.

Keep it pulsing.

Cut!

We've cut.

It's fine...

It was good.

Change the sheets.

It's still squirting.

The other girl. Same thing here.

That's gross. Get Carole please.

Go get changed.

Take the actress to change.

What next, Guillaume?

She got it all over.

Very nice pulsations.

Not the world's best actress, but...

Have any lines?

Same here.

How many days?

One.

Me too.

I'm not getting work.

Me neither.

Carole, you're on in 5.

Okay, Olivier?

CAMILLE REWINDS:

You, here?

- Waiting for the realtor.

- Realtor?

- I left messages.

- Never got them.

Oh yes, you did.

I got the month wrong.

You keep saying to wait.

Now I can't wait.

She's pregnant? That's wonderful.

Congratulations.

Shut up.

You take some decoding.

I'll think it over = So long.

I need time = She's 20.

I need my share back = Get out.

"I can't wait" was obvious.

I'm not here to talk.

I know. No more talk.

We're selling this place.

You said so. In your letter.

When I left, I suggested we talk.

You said no.

This letter is very weird.

I still feel it's not you

who wrote it.

Check if it was you.

It was me all right.

Listen.

"Your poison pervaded the place. "

Excellent alliteration!

"I'd never have expected this.

I've surely made mistakes. "

Hear that?

Did you ever apologize?

Or even try to stop drinking?

No, I drank twice as much.

For years you pushed me out.

I stayed too long. I was dumb.

I've started my life over.

I need the money.

For years

I pushed you out?

You're slow.

You've always been slow.

Even for packing a crate!

Learn to speed up.

Keep up with youth.

Look.

Even your shoes outrun you.

Come in...

Make yourself at home.

I'll do the same

because it's my home too.

- Want a drink?

- No thanks.

You, Eric? Nothing either?

To the sale!

My husband's in a rush.

He can't move in with his girlfriend.

She's still with her parents.

Sit here quietly

while we look around.

You'll see.

A bit poisonous, but such charm!

We're facing north here. There too.

Never any sun.

An icebox in the winter.

It doesn't matter

because it's welcoming.

You can hear absolutely everything.

Upstairs.

Below.

When do evictions resume?

In April?

So call the cops because

I won't leave before.

I feel so great in this place.

Drink yourwhiskey

and leave us alone.

Want to see the bathroom?

Quickly.

We're gone.

Here.

Happy New Year!

You recognize

what we've become?

Did you recognize him?

Scary, isn't it?

No chance

we'll be getting back together.

I'll see him a few more times

in my life.

You and I will keep doing what we do.

We'll say

good morning and good night.

We can have dinner together at night.

Mom?

Wear this. I love it.

It was my mom's.

I know.

I can't go dressed as my mother.

I wish you'd met.

You'd have gotten along.

I'm sure.

She never knew I was pregnant.

No time to tell her.

I did a test.

She died the next day.

She fell.

Like this, all of a sudden.

I know, Mom.

Don't think about it.

I loved her voice.

She had a pretty voice.

Time to get up.

Get out of bed.

You've slept enough.

Get up, you have school.

A gentle voice.

Clear.

I can't imitate it.

Lost that too.

It's not lost

if you can talk about it.

You're beautiful in this dress.

It looks great on you.

- Sure you won't come?

- I can't.

Where are you going again?

I forget everything.

Yeah.

Come.

I really can't. Another time.

I'll leave you the address.

Love you.

Are you open?

People always stop by.

What can I do for you?

Think it can still work?

Maybe it just needs a new battery.

But do I have any of these left?

Where are all you old batteries?

I throw nothing away.

I just found it.

I'm very fond of it.

It's a souvenir.

My parents gave it to me

on my 16th birthday.

They're dead now.

No more parents.

No one above anymore.

It creates a void

and the void sucks you in.

It's working.

I'll set the time,

minus one second.

Why?

Clocks

are one second faster

than the movement of the planets.

So today

we set them right.

When it's 11:
59 and 59 seconds,

one second later,

it will still be

And one second later...

it will be midnight.

We can say Happy New Year.

Look... I'd like...

to take off this ring, but...

I can't. Can you saw it?

I know this ring.

I think I may even be

the one who sold it.

I can make it bigger.

I won't wear it anymore.

- What do I owe you?

- Nothing.

Some champagne?

Not one sip in 25 years!

Just tea.

You came!

It's been so long!

Look who's here.

Louise!

Come... Camille is here.

I can't see you.

I lost my sight 5 years ago.

Pitch black.

I have 2 kids.

And a husband.

Are you still acting?

I'm trying.

Is Eric here?

We're divorcing.

But I'm happy.

Come on!

It's almost midnight!

It's now!

Happy New Year!

- Better, are we?

- Where am I?

- My clothes?

- Can't wait for our parents, can we?

My parents are dead.

They were contacted.

Underage, aren't we?

You kidding?

Dad came by before.

They're on their way back now.

Why am I here?

It must have been some party.

Boy make you drink?

I need a cigarette.

No smoking here, young woman.

Aren't we a bit young?

I've been smoking for so long,

I can't stop.

Overdoing it, aren't we?

It's you.

You're not better?

Is it really you?

Sure it's us.

Mom was worried sick.

Ever think of that?

At her age, we think after.

Spare us your drunken displays,

please.

I'm dead or dreaming.

Imagine being called at 7 a. m.

to hear you're in hospital,

dead drunk.

You're hurting me!

You're so young, Dad.

How nice for me.

This year's starting great.

Go get dressed.

Here, kid.

I feel strange.

Close the door.

My cat...

Tell me what I'm doing here.

I'm glad we're all having dinner.

Eat. I have to go.

- Where?

- Where else? I'm on duty.

Can I come with you?

Put her to bed. She's lost it.

Just me and you.

It'll be nice.

Are you crazy?

Yesterday wasn't enough?

You drink now?

Since Mom died.

Think that's funny?

I didn't mean that.

If having a glass

means finishing the bottle,

stop drinking, period.

Promise me.

I promise.

Not eating?

I remember this ratatouille so well.

I can't eat a thing.

Go to bed.

It's time.

Out of bed. You've slept enough.

You have school.

It's starting again.

I'm dreaming about you, Mom.

Never drink like that again, honey.

Get up.

You really think

I'm going to school?

You slept too long, sleepy-head.

I wanted to wake you

but Dad said not to.

I have no intention

of going to school.

It's like that after every break.

I'm not going.

Been there, done that.

Come on, chin up.

You came here to keep warm.
