La famille Belier Page #4

Synopsis: The Béliers are ordinary people: Rodolphe and Gigi are married, have two children and run their farm for a living. Ordinary people? Well, almost... since three of them, Dad, Mum and their son Quentin, are deaf. Which is not the case of the boy's big sister, Paula. And not only can she speak but her music teacher scouts her beautiful voice as well. He offers her to sit for the entrance exam of the Maîtrise de Radio France, a vocal elite choir in Paris. Her parents, who rely on her as their ears and mouth in the outside world, take the news badly. Paula, who hates the idea of betraying her parents and her brother, goes through a painful dilemma...

that I made love 10 times.

while singing

I cannot explain why

one morning...

she has left me

Enchanted

Love is more fun

It feels less desperate

by singing

That's good.

Breathe there.

All men go to the galleys

In war or...

Sorry ...

Go on.

by singing

The flower at gunpoint

The victory also won

in singing

We do not talk to Jehovah,

to Jupiter, to Buddha

by singing.

Obama!

Whatever opinions

we make the revolution

into songs

The world is more fun...

It feels less hopeless by singing

Oh!

Okay, okay.

Three mistakes ...

It's the 1st time.

We must start somewhere.

It's not the competition.

How do the others?

What is the job?

- Uh ...

- What is it?

We make mistakes,

we fall, we go on.

We start again, then?

- What's not a melon?

- A watermelon!

- You're acting like Bella in "Twilight".

- Maybe.

- Share it with your parents.

- Change the subject.

Oh, you're annoying.

Sh*t, you!

He didn't even notice us.

A**hole ...

- Need to go. I am going.

- What?

- You stop the choir?

- Why does that matter to you?

And the contest?

- I'm fine. Leave me alone.

- It is me who should

- be angry at you.

- Alright.

- For you!

- You got what you wanted.

- What are you talking about?

- You're going to pass the contest!

But it has nothing to do with me!

Oh, I speak to you, there!

Mom?

I'm going.

I'll be back for dinner.

TV's coming, but ...

It's not for tomorrow?

it changed?

Should've warned me. At 6 pm ...

I must ...

My love?... I cannot do that to him!

Come on!

[S.L.] You see him every night.

We had planned things.

[S.L.] I'm going to restyle you.

[S.L.] You cannot go

on TV like that.

Yes, TV. Great.

Awesome ...

This is beautiful.

The light is beautiful.

Uh, it's good there?

We will shoot footage on the farm

for the interview.

OK? Let's go.

Paula ...

- Every morning routine?

- Yes.

You start with Gigi.

Handheld, we follow.

And then what happens?

Quentin and I are going to school.

My father is in the fields

and my mother makes cheese.

Let's go.

- What cheese is that, Paula?

- Camembert and Brie.

Super. Want some?

Paula! Smile! Think of your beloved...

Super!

- He signs and I translate.

- OK.

Super.

Are you ready?

Mr. Blier, you decided to run in

the mayoral race of Lassay.

Why?

[S.L.] In recent years,

businesses close.

[S.L.] Our young people are leaving.

[S.L.] There are no more doctors

and the school is deserted.

[S.L.] You think what?

Leave it to fate?

[S.L.] By being all together

[S.L.] we will reinvigorate Lassay

and give it a new impetus.

I want to give a new impetus to Lassay.

But you are deaf.

Don't you think it is a handicap

to be mayor of a village?

[S.L.] Absolutely not.

[S.L.] being deaf has never stopped me

from working, or living.

[S.L.] Why would it prevent me

from being mayor?

No.

Not at all.

[S.L.] You're sure to translate everything?

[S.L.] Yeah, I translate everything.

As usual.

[S.L.] Why does she make this face,

then?

[S.L.] Your father is right,

it's not going there.

[S.L.] I don't know,

why she's making this face.

Can we do another take,

redo it?

Can we?

[S.L.] Translate.

We will proceed differently.

You will subtitle my answers.

You will find someone

to translate what I say.

If you speak slowly,

I can read your lips.

If we do not understand each other,

you'll write.

Okay.

[S.L.] Thank you.

Let's go.

So, you ...

OK. Let's go on.

Mr. Blier ,

you complain about Lapidus project ...

Mr. Thomasson!

It's me, Paula!

Sir?

- Sir.

- Are you kidding me?

It's not my fault.

I was delayed.

It's not a self-service here!

Go back home and

question your commitment.

Open! It's raining, please!

F***!

Oh...

To apologize to Dad?

For what?

To have a life?

Ah, I'm exhausting you?

It's great to have a lover,

but we are waiting for you.

I'm not in love.

I have something important to tell you.

No, I'm not pregnant.

I prepare for

the Masters Of Radio France.

A singing school in Paris.

Mr. Thomasson, my singing teacher,

think I can get in it.

Yeah, in Paris.

No, I don't want to go to Paris.

This is the school that is in Paris.

Yes, I sing and I joined

the choir of the school.

For 3 months.

Yes, 3 months or so.

He did not know.

I was afraid you thought

I abandon you.

I'm a baby?

You told me that I was a woman!

Having period twice

doesn't make a woman,

yes, thank you.

For high school, I manage.

I repeat every evening

at my teacher's.

You understand what?

The farm, the market,

Dad's Campaign ...

How to organize?

We must think about another solution.

What, my brother?

He's big, strong and I trust him.

[S.L.] What do you think, you?

You go to sleep?

Dad, don't go!

No, I'm not happy.

[S.L.] I will be able to take her room?

[S.L.] Our daughter wants to become a singer.

Do you realize?

[S.L.] And then? She sings!

[S.L.] She is in danger.

[S.L.] And this is not what

Hollande can save her.

[S.L.] His teacher says

that she has a beautiful voice.

[S.L.] Because you have already heard,

you, her voice?

[S.L.] Very funny!

[S.L.] She just started.

Maybe this will pass.

[S.L.] Oh yes?

[S.L.] Imagine if she is taken.

[S.L.] All alone in Paris.

[S.L.] This is not what scares you.

[S.L.] You're afraid that we

are going to be all alone here.

[S.L.] You know that's my baby.

[S.L.] Your baby?

She already menstruated!

[S.L.] For the farm, hire a helper.

[S.L.] We should have done it

long ago.

[S.L.] It will be perfect!

Thank you.

[S.L.] Stop, I'm not in the mood!

[S.L.] That's enough!

- With this finger. Cheese.

- Ah.

There.

You make a "C",

the yogurt pot. Yogurt.

- Oh, you eat, actually.

- Yeah, that's it.

Forget it.

The most important is to count.

- That's "euro".

- Euro.

1 euro, 2 euros, 3 euros...

3 euros, 4 euros ...

- Yeah.

- Okay. That's it.

What're you doing?

He wants to teach you to sign.

- You take me for a Kinder?

- It's not stupid.

That's the way you study Spanish.

Good. OK.

Touch a hair of my girlfriend

and I kill you.

Thank you, Miss Blier,

to honor me with your presence.

- Did you rehearse?

- Yes.

One question, why Gabriel

is not coming anymore?

Why? You don't speak with him anymore?

In your opinion?

He is depressed, unmotivated.

Even in the shower,

he is not singing.

- Can't we do anything?

- I do not know.

For the choir, the duet?

He decided to stop.

I'm not responsible.

Yeah, what a mess.

The duet, you will do it alone.

Yeah, well ... let's start?

Do I really have a gift?

Paula, doubt everything else.

Never me.

- Agree?

- Yeah.

How's everything today?

So, with Mathilde, the market...

Oh yeah, you sold nothing.

And you don't make love anymore?

What's the connection?

Is that because of me?

It has nothing to do with me!

Mathilde, a disaster?

You seem upset!

Your face, what is it?

Eczema.

It is nervous?

She is a beginner. Give her some time.

She is intelligent.

There!

If it doesn't work, it's your fault.
