I was wasted.

In the tent,

he's a health hazard.

It bothers me for our kid.

He stinks to high heaven!

Listen to you Nazis!

You call us Nazis

because we're honest?

- What next, "Babylonian"?

- I'm Babylonian?

Shut up!

What?

Listen... There's music.

- There's music!

- It's true.

It's crazy.

Jean-Paul, wait!

Okay-

Now I get it.

Simon!

Is that you?

Yeah.

What's that tree house?

I built it.

Bastard has a tree house.

Can we come up?

I'm in quarantine.

It's only been 34 days.

Oh yeah, it's true.

So we'll come up,

but we'll be careful.

That sounds like a plan!

Okay, it's up to you.

I'll send you the boat.

Bastard has a boat.

Bastard.

I haven't finished yet.

I'd like to make a reading area

or a billiard room.

I'm still hesitating.

If I have kids,

I'll add on here from above

and put the room from here...

to here.

As for electricity,

it comes in here,

from the windmill on the balcony.

It doesn't work that well.

It's pretty rudimentary.

Gorgeous windows.

It's very well built.

I found the window frames

at the dump.

There were no panes,

sol made the glass myself.

- How?

- With sand.

Meaning?

Glass is sand heated at 4,000 degrees.

You're a genius.

- I knew it.

- But still...

All this building causes pollution.

Yes, I agree with you, Gaya.

But with only 100 of us on Earth

and the flora booming,

I concluded that the impact...

has no impact.

- So are you staying in the community?

- Sure!

But with my own space.

In quarantine, I thought it over.

In terms of freedom,

creativity and productivity,

our lifestyle is more static

than dynamic.

I don't mean it against you.

Of course not.

So we'll let you go.

Is this an alarm?

No, an intercom.

But since I hear you shouting,

I don't need it.

- If you want it...

- Really?

It makes me happy.

- Thanks.

- Nice.

His place is very Babylonian.

It's totally individualistic.

It's what we fled.

- He must be so bored all alone.

- For sure.

You're crazy.

Bastard must love it.

Hello?

Yes, come on up.

I just realized

Simon isn't contaminated.

So we can go to the dump.

Great!

We can go shopping for rotting stuff!

It'll be amazing!

Give me a break, guys.

Maeva...

I like the dump.

Sorry, you can't sleep

in the tent tonight.

Good thing you piped up, Stinky!

You're crazy.

The code is 3B628.

Honey?

- Honey?

- What?

- Don't follow me. I gotta sh*t.

- Sure.

The dump is that way, by the river.

Thanks, Simon.

Thanks, Simon!

How dumb! I don't get you.

Fighting at a dump over an old bike,

a shitty computer

or a... table vacuum.

You really think we need this stuff?

Look, friends!

Two sheep from the dump.

Excellent!

This helps the collective!

Good job, Dylan!

We can use them for wool.

- Eating them is more egalitarian.

- Totally!

If we reproduce them,

we'll have a flock

and meat every day.

Or else we just eat one

and make a flock with the other!

- Fascinating.

- Very weird.

Let's eat them!

I'm starving! Meat time!

Ready, Jean-Paul?

- Two, Frangois?

- Just kill them!

- Jean-Paul!

- I really can't.

Maybe if they were aggressive,

but they're...

- Maybe it's a sign.

- Forget it.

I'll do it.

Jesus...

Bon apptit, friends!

You're a pro.

There's a real thrill in taking a life.

- Learned that on your farm?

- No, Syria.

Syria?

- You killed sheep in Syria?

- Sheep too.

Sheep are harder than people,

technically.

You can grab people by the hair.

Especially women.

You can't do that with sheep.

But I'd like you

to show some respect please.

People did die.

I'll take your knife, if I may.

Be my guest.

To work!

It's not gross?

- Why?

- He was frolicking in a dump.

What's her problem?

Protein rush in the blood.

After 16 years as a vegetarian...

Take this.

Are you crazy?

Whatever.

F***ing wild!

Simon!

Yes?

You have an exercise bike outside?

An old frame from the dump

that I fixed up.

Can I use it?

Please, please!

I'll do whatever you want.

This is amazing!

It reminds me of spin class.

I feel so nostalgic!

You can shower after.

Water's freezing now.

I have deodorant left.

I have hot water.

Hot water?

From energy generated by the bike.

Oh man... I love you so much!

Oh my God, this is so good!

Oh my God, it never stops!

Damn!

She paid for her gym class in full.

She gives her body

to keep it fit.

It's a vicious circle.

I'd love to join that circle.

Frangois!

Take it easy. She's my daughter.

- It's annoying!

- Sorry...

50 years of feminism

ruined in 15 minutes.

Give me a break.

Enough with your feminism.

Excuse me?

Not waxing your p*ssy

isn't much of a fight.

- Is he serious?

- You bet!

I understand you were underpaid

and underrepresented.

Now we're equals.

Yeah, I'm a bit sick

of barking, repressed lesbians.

Okay, you don't like click!

Don't gross everyone else out!

And stop blaming it on men.

Own it.

You're turning totally stupid on us.

No one says a word while he talks crap?

You're entitled to speak your mind,

to say whatever, whenever,

but that was inappropriate.

Violence...

Spare us your theory

of non-violent communication.

Just shove it up your ass!

Because if I'm angry,

I'll express myself angrily!

Can I?

Neo-reactionary a**holes!

Hey! Can you spare me

a little something?

Even a smile.

In the history of man,

only wisdom and non-violence...

Not true!

Guys don't choose non-violence.

Their bodies choose it for them.

Look at you.

I want you to know, mister,

that with this body,

I do as I please.

Except lifting,

chopping wood, carrying kids,

protecting your daughter.

You can tie your shoes.

Stop with that.

First of all, it's not because you

are Gaya's brother

that you can be rude to us all.

And second,

if we didn't put you up,

you'd be in prison!

Music!

Come on.

- Hi, Simon.

- Hi, Dylan.

I wanted to ask

if I might use your shower?

Of course. My pleasure.

Cool, thanks.

What do I get in exchange?

In exchange?

Yes.

Come on, Simon...

I'm not Maeva.

I can't make Maeva pay

and not everyone else.

How funny...

You're rock solid.

Do you work out?

- A little.

- I see.

I can suggest something regular,

once a week, for hygiene.

How about it?

Not necessarily something regular.

I just need a shower.

I can't stand it anymore. Just one.

I'll suck you off.

- What?

- Nothing.

I'll suck you off.

I'm not into that at all.

I didn't mean it that way.

You suck me?

Forget that.

- We'll find something.

- Fist? Just a finger?

Stop it, Dylan.

Sorry, Simon.

- How's this?

- Perfect.

Yes!

Yes!

This is unbelievable!

That's sex slavery.

Spare us, shrew.

A shower would freshen

your mucous membranes.

F***!

- I'll kill you!

- What the hell?

Let go of me!

ACTIII:

"This wasn't our conception

of society..."

Simon!

It's Jean-Paul.

Yeah?

Hi.

I'm here on behalf of the community.

We're not thrilled

with the turn things have taken.

It's bad for morale.

It's divisive.

I mean, inequality-wise...

Have you eaten?
