Malevil

Synopsis: In southern France, in a quite little town, the mayor, who also owns a castle with some cattle, is in the wine cellar with some other people: the pharmacist, the veterinary, and some of his employees. As they are drinking wine, they hear a terrible noise and the heat's getting higher and higher. They don't realize what's happening: when they come out of the cellar, they realize that everything has burned, and all the buildings are destroyed...

Sunny weather this weekend

for the entire southwest region

with higher tempatures than usual,

in the afternoons

- See you tonight at the "Chaudire" caf?

- Yes!

Momo! Momo!

Hush!

Come on, what's going on?

It's saturday!

Not saturday!

Yes, it's saturday!

Do you want some help?

Come on!

Not saturday!

Not saturday!

Here we go. The hardest is done.

Now take off your pullover

and trousers.

Listen Momo. You're 32 years old,

When you're 32, you can wash yourself!

Do you understand that?

- All the bottles are clean?

- Yes almost!

I don't think it'll be today.

- Tomorrow?

- No.

And the sow?

I'll go.

Germain, can you bring me a lamp?

I've got one in the bag.

"Pervenche" is still the most beautiful.

You should the wall back up here.

A maternity ward must be clean.

I'm going to put my wine in bottles.

If you want to come and taste it...

More news at eleven.

- Hello, Mr Mayor.

- Hello.

- If you're thirsty...

- With pleasure.

These stamps come from far away.

- Are you collecting them?

- Not me, but my son.

- I'll keep them then.

- Thank you.

Hello. Did I disturb you?

Even the chemist?

It's a delegation.

Not at all.

These gentlemen dragged me here.

So?

We asked Mr Bouvreuil to come,

so you can make an agreement together.

- Do you want to go in the kitchen?

- No, no...

I've got nothing against

this project, but look...

They want to put a streetlight right here.

Near my bedroom window.

We could move it a bit, no?

We modified this blueprint 17 times,

so we can move on.

But I remind you...

That we can't move the

streetlight to the left

because on the left

there's the cross from your drugstore

and on the right there's

"Doctor Bouvreuil street".

You don't want us to put the light

in the middle of your father's street.

Don't expect my vote on this.

That's not possible.

You know we need your vote

for this project.

I've got a solution.

If your shop's cross

was under your bedroom window

would you be inconvenienced?

No, because I turn it off

when I close the shop.

Perfect, so we put the light

instead of the cross

and you put the cross

under your window.

Who'll pay for that?

The council.

Except if you're against it.

- Someone has to pay anyway.

- Anyway.

Is it solved?

Would you mind writing down this change.

- Do you want to taste my wine?

- Thank you.

Where are the glasses?

Australia?

Do I dare ask you for the stamps?

I already promised them.

- Will your son come back for a bit?

- In autumn.

He says hello!

- Mr Mayor...

- Cheers!

Another power failure.

Wait...I've got a lighter.

Strange, there's nothing.

The batteries are good.

I'll go.

It's dangerous.

It's dangerous.

It's dangerous.

It's dangerous.

Wait!

Dog. "Tempest".

Dog.

"Tempest".

"Tempest".

Dog. "Tempest".

Momo!

But what did you see?

Wait for me!

That's the only thing left.

Momo! Momo, come!

Yes. Momo, yes!

Maybe we could start

to talk again.

I'll go get some wood.

It's not good

to let the dead stink.

It's wrong.

- It's dangerous.

- No, move!

It's dangerous.

On the right!

Straight on!

Straight on!

On the left!

I thought it would be worse.

You shouldn't do this.

If you fell we'd have no horse.

I had to do this.

If it was you, you'd have done it.

You left him to die outside,

like a dog.

What has he eaten since he left?

What does he drink?

He'd come back

if he didn't find anything.

Anyway, leave my horse alone.

My horse, your horse, his horse.

Are you crazy?

It's hard to be understood.

I meant the opposite.

Everything here

doesn't belong to me anymore.

The "Periwinkle" belongs to us all.

You can't leave with her

without telling us.

- Those are just words!

- No. Come on.

I wasn't thirsty like this before.

Have you seen the mark

on Colin's shoulder?

No.

I was like you; I had a family.

Do you think it's right

not to talk about the others?

Yes, it's better.

Did you see something?

A horse is passing?

Emanuel.

I think it's too late.

Someone took the mare.

Damn!

And there's a pig missing.

A small one?

Not the Big one, of course.

Look, the mare passed through here.

- More?

- I'm thirsty.

Evelyne?

- Evelyne.

- No.

Momo!

Leave him!

Momo!

Come, Momo!

Come!

Come!

The river didn't run there.

Sure not!

Who knows where it goes.

- Who's that?

- Don't you recognise her?

- Was she alone?

- Yes.

Evelyne, where were you

when it happened?

In the cave.

What did you see?

A flash of light.

Then?

Then lightning struck somewhere.

Since then, I can't see.

- Will they come?

- Who?

The others.

My mother went with them,

Momo didn't find her.

We'll have to wait to find out.

Do you think we'll know, one day?

Why not?

If we're not the only survivors.

Did someone heard the news?

The morning before the...

Yes.

They didn't say a thing.

We'll probably...

have some news soon.

Meanwhile, someone has to decide.

There'll be nothing left to eat soon.

Why does she say that?

You're right, we can't share

our food like this indefinitely...

You were the Mayor,

so you can still be.

Yes, very good.

- I've got enough.

- Talk!

A mandate

should have a limited time so...

Let's say, Emanuel is Malevil's Mayor

until we get some news.

I'm fully satisfied. Fully.

All the better.

Come on, go to bed!

Don't stay here, you!

Are you not worried about that mark?

What mark?

On your shoulder;

it seems to be getting bigger.

He's had it since birth.

His poor mother had the same.

Come on!

You'll not touch?

And think about

washing yourselves tomorrow.

What's she saying?

- She says we stink.

- She's right.

You didn't know him.

It was Meneau's husband.

I'll go sleep outside.

What are we doing about the fire?

If a plane passes by?

He's right.

Put some wood on the fire!

Did you hear?

Evelyne.

Come see! Come see!

Here!

They came back.

My child...

My child, try to remember.

On that day, when the lightning struck

did it burn your eyes

or did you feel nothing?

I don't know.

- You don't remember anything?

- No.

Open your mouth.

It's "Bouvreuil" syrup.

What are you giving her?

Dipotassic Clorazepate.

It smells like gas.

Don't you see anything?

Something shiny other there.

And now?

The same.

- Did you like Eric?

- Yes.

I'm his father, you know.

I didn't know.

You played with him often

in the cave.

Not only with him.

When the lightning struck,

were you alone?

Yes. He couldn't come,

he was grounded.

But where is he, Eric?

I don't know.

- You don't like it?

- I don't know if the soil is still good.

We'll try anyway.

What if the sun doesn't come back?

We must keep trying.

I found this for you.

Emanuel's son? Did you know him?

Yes, of course.

He left no more than 5 years ago.

His mother took him with her.

Over there.

If he knew his father were alive,

he'd find a way to return.

He's a radio nut too.

We used to build radio sets together.

I was ten.

It must be a boy!

When will this little vale be able

to mate with his mother?
