and very happy to be your friend.

I'm very happy

to be friends with all of you.

I'm thinking about Hugo a lot tonight...

And you, Ana.

And I...

OK, that's it!

Close your eyes!

Ready?

Are you ready?

Bravo!

- Happy Birthday.

We weren't introduced earlier.

I'm Arthur.

Graciano.

Excuse me for not shaking your hand.

- That's OK.

Do you do drugs?

No.

I used to, when I was younger.

Want some?

No, thanks though.

Are you sure this is safe?

- Don't worry. We'll have fun.

Want a drink?

- No, I need to get ready!

Dalhia, get us two beers?

Thanks!

He's nice,

but a bit of a stereotype, right?

I think he's quite funny.

Excuse me...

It's like The Clash.

What?

It sounds a bit like The Clash.

The music.

Do you come here often?

Is that your best line?

Sorry?

- I said, "Is that your best line?"

I'm not sure it's going to work.

Want to dance?

- I can't, I'm too busy right now!

It's your birthday!

Lo is singing! Just five minutes...

I'll dance after!

Close the door.

Wait...

- What?

Take your trousers off.

I want to watch.

Look at me.

Keep going.

And your boxers?

I'm not hard yet.

- Don't worry.

Take them off.

Not hard but still a nice dick.

Come closer.

See? Now you're hard.

What happened?

Nothing, don't worry.

I just feel dizzy...

Does your head hurt?

- No...

Careful !

Let's go.

- I'll go too.

Do you need help?

- No, you can go. Thanks.

Our place is closest.

Take him there.

Sh*t!

Should I call a doctor?

Arthur...

- No, everything is fine!

He just needs some rest.

Call if something happens.

- OK.

Is it OK for him to stay?

Stop worrying-

I'm right here!

I can hear you!

I'll go back then.

I'll call tomorrow.

- Bye, beautiful!

Get some rest.

Look what I swiped!

No more for me.

I'm dead on my feet.

Louis, you worked all night.

It's your birthday.

So now...

Let's have a drink.

Lo, you're pouring too much...

Here's to you, sweetheart.

It's warm in here, right?

I feel really hot.

What are you doing?

I'm getting naked!

It's your birthday.

I didn't wear any knickers.

Louis...

My lover...

Do whatever you want with me.

Absolutely anything.

Really?

Anything?

Right now, if you'd like.

So?

You can do anything you want.

Don't go to sleep.

Stop...

- Come on! What the hell do you want?

Stop.

- Come on!

You know what I f***ing want!

You need to f*** me for that.

More?

Like this?

Like this?

Not like this...

What?

No...

What do you mean, "no"?

Not like this...

- What?

"You have wept

tears of joy and despair.

But spring water

was more constant than tears,

and would be always there

to wash your eyelids.

You follow your vocation

and smile at women's lives blasted.

You do not believe love can kill,

since you have loved and lived.

Is your love a coinage,

that it can pass hands till death?

No, not even a coin.

The tiniest gold coin

is better than you.

Whatever hand it passes to,

it keeps its effigy."

What does this mean?

What does she mean by

"The tiniest gold coin

is better than you.

Whatever hand it passes to,

it keeps its effigy"?

Yes?

Well, no matter who touches the coin

who holds it in their hands,

it keeps the same shape.

Doesn't "effigy" mean "face"?

Yes, an effigy

is a representation of a person.

So, this "face" is a man.

- Yes.

So, she chastises him for his infidelity

and for the fact that he's indecisive...

He doesn't think love is serious.

O, my winters-long companion

Shine your warmth upon my world

O, my crossbow

Come and let's cross swords

For a night or two

If I end up in the lake

Underneath your elbow

Turn the hammock upside down

And let's taste the clams together

For a lifetime or two

Hey you!

O, my first mountain climber

Remember what's important

Beneath your fairy-tale cloak

Let us dance like rattles

For a night or two

If, behind the clasp

You discover my clavicle

I'd laugh at the dangers

Which threaten our bubble

And emus would fly

The rice

which rains down on your hair

Crowns you with an Advent wreath

O, my fierce fire

Touch the icy centre of my being

And I shall return to my Abyssinia

For a night or two

I shall drink vodka

While dreaming about winter

Draped in cloth

1 will chew on your rocks

So much for the emus

Are you ready?

Yes.

It's such a nice day.

I'm sure it'll last...

- Hi.

I don't know...

We can't camp in the rain.

Can't we rent a B&B?

Stop moaning...

Are you driving?

- Yes.

Come on!

- All right!

Where is he?

- Take it easy...

Here he is.

He's got a big bag...

Hi.

- Finally!

Here we are.

It's a nice spot.

We've been looking for two hours...

It's all right! Give it a rest.

This place is disgusting! Look!

What are you saying?

We can camp in front of the lake.

OK, it's just great here!

See, he likes it!

I think he likes it!

- It's great.

I think it's great too.

How many tents do we have?

- We have three.

OK, then this evening...

What?

I don't know. For the tents...

We'll see who sleeps first

then improvise?

Sure, we'll see.

OK.

It's great seeing you.

Four months is a long time,

don't you think?

I don't know.

Well, I do.

I wanted to say sorry to you.

There.

I think I need this.

I was selfish.

And impulsive.

I think I miss you.

How about you?

I don't know.

I do miss you, but...

It's not like before.

So, you miss me a little?

A little.

Stop!

I want you to f*** me.

I thought it scared you.

Not anymore.

Pull my hair.

I want to feel you.

I want to feel what it's like...

Stop.

Stop-

Stop!

Would you f*** me, just once?

I don't think so.

Why?

I don't know.

I don't enjoy it.

I don't like...

It doesn't turn me on.

I want it.

Do it for me.

I don't know how to do it.

I...

I don't feel comfortable with it.

And anyway, my dick is too small.

Hey honey.

I'm going for a swim.

Wait, I'll come with you.

Do you want some sunscreen?

If you want.

Be careful, Ana.

Don't swim too far out.

Never have I ever...

Concentrate!

She won't make it!

Never have I ever...

understood the meaning of life!

I've noticed!

- That means I drink!

Can you roll me a cigarette?

Didn't you understand

that one Monty Python film?

It's not that hard!

OK, my turn...

OK.

Never have I ever...

betrayed the person I loved.

If it's the truth, you should drink!

I should drink the bottle, right?

Save some for me too.

You could easily down the whole lot.

Thanks.

It's your turn now.

- Me? OK.

All right...

Never have I ever...

thought I'd find it!

I never thought I'd find it!

That's crap!

- I'll drink.

What do I drink? Half of it?

You eat the cup!

- It's happened to me!

You see!

- So, I'll drink...

You drank,

so what was it you found?

What did I find?

- You drank.

It's just nonsense.

OK, but...

- Stop. We're just messing around.

OK, drink...

- What did you find?

Dalhia, stop...

- Just tell me!

I want to understand.

- What?

What did you find?

Peace and quiet!

Is that good enough?

No. What does that mean?

I don't understand.
