I realized

it's what I'd always wanted,

a baby for myself

without the hassle of a woman.

So it's all good? You're happy.

Eh.

Could you detect lung cancer, say,

with all this stuff?

I don't know how

you detect those things, but...

I listened to your body

and didn't sense anything there.

Don't move.

- Hello.

- Hello, m'am.

- Can I help you?

- I'm looking for a man.

Don't be stupid, Leo!

This is silly.

I just want the screenplay.

Even if it's not finished.

I just want to read something.

We need to talk.

Stop running away.

Stop stringing me along.

Can you hear me?

Come on, Leo, show yourself!

I can feel you close by.

You can't spend all your time

running away!

You're not going to

abandon your baby, after all.

There is no screenplay.

Not a scene, not a line.

Nothing.

It's a ghastly sight.

He pours alcohol on his wound.

He's a real tough guy.

He pulls out his knife...

Leny gives Jacques a water bottle.

He gathers his courage...

He gathers speed.

So?

Are you happy?

It sucks.

It's beautiful.

Really? You like it?

Really. I'm impressed.

Write me a check?

When it's finished.

Come on, wake up.

What's happening?

We can go now.

I managed to put him to sleep.

Where do you want to go?

Would you rather relax here

writing a script you don't like,

Or do you want

the great outdoors, posterity?

I don't know.

I don't believe this.

I have a baby to feed.

You disappoint me.

I'm beat.

I'm tired of running around.

I'm too old for it.

Go on.

I haven't had the time

to call, but...

Well, could you increase my overdraft?

At one point,

you mentioned opening a line of credit.

Around 3,000 euros...

OK.

But there must be another solution.

Hello.

I'm from the south,

and my ATM card was stolen,

and I need gas to get home.

Hello. I'm from the south

and my ATM card was...

I have no way to get money.

- Need gas to get home.

- Don't insist.

Hello, hello.

I'm from the south

and my ATM card was stolen,

and I need gas to get home.

Do you have any change?

- I really don't know.

- Even a few cents.

Got any change? For food?

- No, sorry.

- 1 euro?

50 cents?

No, I've got nothing.

Nothing at all.

Small change?

You must have something.

- What are you doing?

- What's in your bag?

No, I've got nothing!

There's nothing in there.

I'm broke!

Careful with the baby!

Be careful!

Stop it!

I have nothing!

Help!

I told you I have nothing.

Deal with the old man.

I'm getting Yoan out of this place.

Yoan? Is that you?

Yoan left.

With the farmer?

Yes, but...

I'm going to take care of you.

All the time?

Tonight, at any rate.

Tomorrow we'll contact your family.

You must have a brother or a sister.

Cousins?

- Second cousins?

- Nobody.

I'll contact social services.

We'll find you a retirement home.

I won't go!

But you can't stay here.

I won't go!

OK, OK...

We'll find a solution.

I know the solution.

Good evening.

Just checking in.

Where's Mr. Marcel?

He just died.

He's upstairs.

Are you family?

How'd he die?

He took a drug I hadn't heard of.

You drink it, it's painless.

I was there.

I can assure you

he didn't feel a thing.

It was kind of an assisted suicide.

Where are they taking him?

It's social services.

They're taking him to his mother.

He's been with me since birth!

It'll upset him.

You can't keep him,

you're homeless and destitute.

She won't want him, I know her!

Calm down!

Hi.

Can I come in?

I'm in a hurry.

My boyfriend's here.

You have a boyfriend? Cool.

Are the kids home?

Yeah, but I have to feed them.

And I found a job.

Cool, where?

At Intermarch, I start at 2.

OK. I just came to pick up

the little guy anyway.

He's staying here.

What do you mean?

He's not living with you.

That's bullshit.

You never wanted him.

Orders from child services.

Let's wait till it blows over.

For now, you have to go.

Just give me five minutes.

I miss him, it's been 3 days.

You're not coming in, no way.

Then bring him out here.

Is it true about the old man?

What did they tell you?

That you f***ed him to help him die.

That's insane.

It's obviously not true.

How could they even know that?

And you believe them?

Marie?

I've taken care of him all along.

He's never lacked for anything.

This is unacceptable.

I'm not leaving without him.

I swear, you don't know me!

I could...

Don't show your face here again.

HE SODOMIZES THEN EUTHANIZES AN OLD MAN

IN FRONT OF HIS BABY

WOLVES KILL HERE

Can I stay here?

I'll help you with the flock.

And other stuff, if you'll have me.

Hey, you.

Well, I'm going.

See you tonight?

It must be freezing in the barn.

Why not sleep inside?

No, there are wolves on the prowl.

Don't be stupid,

they won't go into the barn.

It's happened before.

You have nothing to fear from me.

I get it.

Watching the sheep is my job.

So I watch them.

Let's go.

We can't stay here.

You're ruining everything.

I'm so close.

Don't worry.

We just can't show fear.

We have to look strong to them.

Just don't fall down.

As long as we're standing, we're safe.

We can't even slouch.

We have to stand very straight.
