Respire Page #2

Synopsis: This film deals with a situation where a fellow student fainted at the presentation of her semester work during a critique session. She fell on her own sculpture that dealt with the method of criticism. What were the preconditions that the framework of the institutional reality were disrupted at once? How did each one behave and how is the event remembered? The text layer encircles the recalled situation, recounts, parallelizes and contrasts the different versions. The dialogues or rather monologues do not come from the psychology of the characters, but represent positions of the witnesses. The cinematic dispositive gradually reveals the reconstructed spatial situation of the event.

Just think how happy

you'll be to see her!

But now I'm stuck with my aunt

for Ali Saints' Day!

Just thinking about it

flips me out.

What a drag!

A broken heart...

That's such a dumb song!

It's a song...

Careful, you'll get into an accident!

- Concentrate!

- Okay, I will.

This is an old car.

Vanessa, do your Reggae!

Positive!

Remember this road?

It looks familiar.

She was too little.

No, you couldn't.

There's one of them.

And the other!

- Hi, girls!

- Hey, there!

Welcome!

It's been ages!

Come on!

None of that was here before.

Look!

That's ugly.

That looks cool.

Look!

These dresses are nice.

Okay!

We'll leave them.

Hello!

Hey, there!

If only I were a wheelbarrow.

Can you see?

It's so great here!

All this sun!

You get that extra sexy thing

but it's still romantic.

F***ing a Brit is something else!

And you?

What about me?

Tell me something.

After what I just told you...

You never slept with anyone?

No.

No big deal. I just thought

something happened with Lucas.

No.

We dated in 9th grade.

Things were really good.

We wanted to try.

We started but it hurt too much.

I started blubbering

like an idiot.

And you never tried again?

No.

The worst thing is no one knows.

Not even Victoire.

Yeah, but the first time

is sort of painful for everyone.

It's only natural.

Don't worry.

I'm sure you'll do it again

and it'll be great!

What's that noise?

What was that?

It's coming back!

Like you showed me?

Sh*t!

I'm spilling it.

Hold it like that.

Hold it with two fingers.

Charlie?

Hi!

F***!

I'm Paul.

Remember?

Yeah.

It's been ages!

Hello.

Paul, this is Sarah,

my classmate.

Paul...

has a plane.

His dad makes great crpes.

Still got your plane?

Yeah.

Coming for drinks later?

Yeah.

I'm so embarrassed.

I was naked!

I spilled it all.

Oh, f***!

To you, I'm a classmate?

What should I have said?

There's no rule.

Say what you like.

I'd have said

you were my friend.

There's none left.

Start again.

Here.

Why am I asking you?

Give it to me.

Crumble the hash!

Do something!

Don't just sit there.

The hash! A little black chunk.

Not hard to find.

There!

Pass the wine.

- You kids are drinking too much.

- No!

- Me, too! Fill it up.

- Me, too!

It's empty!

You've got something there.

What is it?

- Si.

- Si.

- Wine from before.

- How do you say that?

Didn't understand a word.

How we talked!

- About what? Who?

- With Estaban!

I'm drunk!

I'm plastered.

Completely plastered.

Hey, Estaban!

I love your little dress.

My heart is broken...

F***!

Take it literally!

I've had it...

- Here's a small piece.

- Thanks.

Marie, some coffee cake?

I have some.

I don't know.

It's peach-verbena.

- Marie made it.

- Peach-verbena.

It's really good.

Chocolate?

Think Esteban and Vanessa

were making jam all night?

Very funny!

Okay, no more jokes!

Hi.

Hi.

Hi, my beauty.

You look hungry.

Morning!

You bilingual now?

Almost!

Tutti va bene.

- That's Italian!

- So?

Trilingual!

Minimum!

She's calm.

Everything okay?

Why wouldn't it be?

I looked for you everywhere.

Well, we're here.

I offered to take Sarah

out in the plane.

Wanna come?

No, I'm okay.

She doesn't want to.

Let's go!

Tess!

Here, girl!

Be careful.

- You okay?

- Yeah.

Come on, Tess!

Wanna try?

Like that?

What's the matter?

Nothing.

Good morning!

Looking for something?

There's no microwave?

No.

Shall I boil some water?

No, no big deal.

Know where Sarah is?

She went to the market

with your mother.

Don't let it bug you.

Sarah's not so amazing.

Why do they let

all this sh*t pile up?

They should just

throw it all out!

Thanks, Sarah!

What's Charlie doing there?

What are you doing

all alone, honey?

You're not jealous, are you?

I really do like him.

But that's it!

He's handsome, he's sweet.

It's doing me good. You know?

Yeah.

How we laughed last night!

He's funny!

Isn't he?

I'm hungry.

Wanna help us?

I got lots of bread!

Want some?

You got cigarettes?

No.

I have to think of everything.

It's unbearable!

- You dip?

- You dip!

- It's better!

- Like an old man!

I'm going to bed.

- Bye, Morgan!

- Good night!

You're here!

How long are you gonna sulk?

- Me?

- Yeah, you!

It's a bit much.

I'm a stranger here,

you don't say a word.

What's the problem?

- I thought it was you.

- Yeah, right!

I blew it with the Spanish guy.

He couldn't care less about me!

Are you creeped out by your mom?

That's how it is.

It's doing her good.

If he's your stepfather one day,

please adopt me!

Come on, say yes!

Stop!

It's not serious.

It won't last.

You wanna sleep?

Yeah.

It's late, isn't it?

Good night!

Something's different!

You took those posters down.

Yeah.

I loved the ballerina.

You can have it.

It's in the closet.

That's not why I said it.

I'll get going.

I get to school...

Hi, Sarah, how are you?

I haven't heard much...

I haven't heard from you.

Hi, Sarah, how's it going?

Can we talk?

It's just that... I don't know

what happened over our vacation.

Sometimes you were really weird

and I was kind of scared.

Hi, Sarah, how are you?

Can we talk?

Is it North America

or United States?

Are you listening?

Not much.

I'm sick of this.

I smoke too much with you.

I'm gonna pee.

What pretty necklaces!

Did you make them?

- I used to.

- Why "used to"?

I stopped.

I got the stones from Brazil.

I always wanted to go there.

- Like it?

- That one's beautiful.

- You want it?

- Oh, no!

Sure.

I'll give it to you. Here!

Take it.

Sarah thinks I should

make jewelry again.

- You really like it?

- It's gorgeous!

She's talented!

Gimme a break!

Shut up and take it.

Okay.

Let's say it's a trade.

See that?

My first customer!

Not if you give it away.

What, honey?

Nothing.

Thanks, you're an angel.

It looks great.

You're beautiful!

Isn't she beautiful?

But you don't need

my necklace for that.

It's dumb, I give them names.

Really?

What kind of names?

Okay, here we go!

It's starting, Sarah!

Come over here.

Take my seat.

I forgot my toothbrush.

Take a new one.

Show her where they are.

Then you'll have one here.

I'm glad you're watching this film.

Hope it hasn't aged much.

- Let's find a theme, like last year.

- Oh, no!

We did superheroes.

No more tights.

- I was in my underwear!

- You were sexy!

Let's do something different.

My mom and I went on a safari

last Christmas.

- No?

- Classy!

Want a coffee?

One coffee for two!

Coffee, Charlie?

No, thanks.

I thought your mom

dumped you last year.

Big liar!

Very interesting!

So I'm a liar?

Tell my life story!

You know it so well.

- You said so.

- Don't be shy!

What a chick!

She knows everything about everyone.

You describe my mom

and I'll do your dad.

- Now there's a theme!

- What?

We each go as someone in school.

I'll be Charlie!

Gastine,

with his soccer hair-do.

You've got the same one!

He's right!

The Haustoria will suck

the sap from its victim.

This is the Cuscuta Reflexa,
