My Summer of Love Page #2

Synopsis: A tale of obsession and deception, and the struggle for love and faith in a world where both seem impossible. The film charts the emotional and physical hothouse effects that bloom one summer for two young women: Mona, behind a spiky exterior, hides an untapped intelligence and a yearning for something beyond the emptiness of her daily life; Tamsin is well-educated, spoiled and cynical. Complete opposites, each is wary of the other's differences when they first meet, but this coolness soon melts into mutual fascination, amusement and attraction. Adding volatility is Mona's older brother Phil, who has renounced his criminal past for religious fervor - which he tries to impose upon his sister. Mona, however, is experiencing her own rapture. "We must never be parted," Tamsin intones to Mona but can Mona completely trust her?

I just adore her.

She was this marvelous Parisian woman...

who had such a wonderfully tragic life.

And she was married three times...

and each husband died in

mysterious circumstances.

And the last one was a boxing champion

and she killed him with a fork.

She didn't even go to prison...

because in France, crimes

of passion are forgiven.

So, my mother is off touring...

with some dodgy theater company...

pretending to be an actress.

And my father's busy with his secretary.

So I'm practically an orphan.

This is the main guest bedroom.

But it's all moldy and full of dust

'cause we never even have any guests.

Excuse me.

This is my loon mother's rehearsal room.

That's my favorite bathroom.

This is Sadie's room.

Oh.

It's actually turned

into a bit of a shrine.

Because when she died...

my mother wanted to keep

everything exactly as it was.

So you don't go in.

No.

All in all, the house is really

creepy, so you're gonna stay with me.

Come on.

If you hear any strange noises

in the night, don't panic.

It's just the furniture creaking

'cause it's an old house.

Good night.

Night.

Wake up.

Morning.

Morning.

I didn't know what you wanted,

so I just got you everything.

What are your plans for today?

Manicure, pedicure, full body wax.

Clean the car.

Walk the dog.

What about you? I'm

gonna buy you an engine.

This is me favorite rock.

It's like a strange cathedral.

I don't feel I'm in me own town.

What do you mean?

I don't feel the same.

I quite like it from here, with you.

Which one do you want?

That one.

Which one? Guess.

It's gorgeous. Do you like it?

Yeah, it's so pretty.

Try this one.

Yeah. Really nice.

Bit dotty, but you can pull it off.

I love all them colors.

You can have that, I

don't wear it any more.

Honest?

God, you're quite beautiful.

It was Sadie's dress.

And I just felt so useless.

And there was...

my one sister, my beautiful

sister. She just...

started to turn into

this monster and she....

These bones on her body,

they just started to jut out.

It was like someone had just

stuck daggers under her skin.

And her hair, she started...

growing hair all over her body.

It was like a sort of

dense fur like a werewolf.

And she stopped smiling. She

couldn't smile any more because...

she was throwing up all the time.

And the vomit acid made

her teeth go all yellow...

and she just stopped

smiling and stopped living.

I miss her so much.

I miss her so much.

Let it out.

She's so beautiful.

Don't cry. I mean, cry.

Who is it?

I think it's your brother. Oh, f***.

How does he know you're here?

I told him.

Do you f*** a lot?

I get me kicks.

What does that mean?

There's a guy...

I were going around with.

What's he like?

Well...

he's like a man-man, you know?

Not like a boy.

Like boys at school. He were like a man.

Dead strong, and with a car,

and we used to go driving.

And he used to take me

places and he were a singer.

He had dead mad eyes,

you know, like that.

Do you wanna know? Yeah.

How did he shag you?

What do you mean? How would he do it?

Horribly?

No.

Just normal, I mean...

don't know.

Show me.

Do you wanna see?

Do you?

Do you wanna be shagged

by Ricky? Yes, I do.

Do you? Yes.

Are you ready? Yes.

Serious? Yes.

Not joking? Not joking.

Okay. Go on.

Right. Okay, Mona... I'm you.

Let me show you. Oh, Mona.

You're so tiny, yes.

Now turn around. Go on.

I love it.

Oh, yes.

You're so pretty, Mona. You're gorgeous.

I've come. Give me me fags.

And that's it? I've gotta be off.

Is that it?

Are you in love with him still?

No.

Were you ever?

I thought I were.

Then why did you dump him?

He dumped me.

Why?

He said he couldn't be bothered anymore.

Twat.

Anyway, he had a wife and kid.

Men like that should be castrated.

Gosh, aren't you clever?

We should teach that Ricky a lesson.

That's Ricky.

Christ, you didn't mention he was fat.

He's not. It's all muscle. Yeah, right.

All right, come on.

Hello. Hi.

God, this is really hard,

but this is my friend, Mona.

And she has just had

to have an abortion.

So what's that got to do with

me? It was your husband's fetus.

Basically, what he did was he

just got her completely wasted...

and took advantage of her.

She's now clinically depressed,

as you can see. I mean...

she's just catatonic, she hasn't

said a word since. Have you, Mona?

I mean, it could be, I

mean, the talk of the town...

at the moment is that you're not

satisfying him enough at home.

We all know when we hit a certain age...

everything starts to go

south-- How dare you come here?

Maybe you should keep

your husband locked up.

Maybe you should castrate your

husband, maybe that'll keep him safe--

Why don't you two just go and get

lost and leave me and my family alone.

No, until you fully understand--

No, just get out of my face.

Don't touch me. Will you just go?

All right, Mona, it's

all right. This is over.

Why don't you just get.... Just go

and leave me and my family alone.

Hi, there.

Mona.

You'll be there tomorrow, won't you?

I have absolutely no intention

of coming to your crucifixion.

Will you be there, please, for me?

Can I come? Yeah.

I need you there, Mona.

We're going.

Do you see that?

# Once again I look upon

the cross where You died #

# I'm humbled by Your mercy

and I'm broken inside #

# Once again I thank You #

# Once again I pour out my life #

# Now you are #

# exalted to the highest place #

# King of heavens,

where one day I'll bow #

# But for now #

# I marvel at this saving grace #

# And I'm full of praise once again #

# I'm full of praise once again #

# Once again I look upon

the cross where You died #

# I'm humbled by Your mercy

and I'm broken inside #

# Once again I thank You ##

Has he got a girlfriend? Has he? F***.

He's got God, he's too busy with God.

With God, his life's

like, one long orgasm.

From morning, noon till night.

The sun never goes down on him.

If anything goes wrong...

we'll slowly bring it down again, okay?

Okay. One, two, three, go.

That's it.

F***ing hell.

Okay, there. Tie it off, lads.

Yes.

If I can be saved, anybody can be saved.

Anybody can be saved. Hallelujah.

The Lord Jesus started speaking to me.

He told me to build this cross.

To claim this valley

back in His name, for Him.

Because there's evil at

work in this valley. Yeah.

There's evil in this valley.

And it manifests itself

in hundreds of ways.

If one person comes

closer to God today...

through our actions, then

that's a victory. Yeah.

That's a victory for everybody

here. That's all it is.

We don't pray for riches.

We pray for fulfillment in ourselves and

in our hearts first and foremost of all.

But I have prayed for my sister...

who's there now.

This is the power of prayer.

'Cause I prayed to

the Lord for my sister.

I prayed that she'd be set free,

because I know she's in turmoil.

And it's so hard for me. I can't

just reach out and tell her.
