Yes?
Any word about the claim?
Not yet.
What's the problem?
It's complicated, lorraine...
When you live
At your place of business...
Sorting inventory from
personal belongings...
I've been through that
Weeks ago.
I'm as anxious as you are.
The sooner we get this settled,
the happier we'll both be.
It'll work out.
We owe you so much.
No, you don't.
Yes, you've done so...
You are two wonderful people
Who had the bad luck
To meet with a catastrophe.
It's my responsibility
To get you back on your feet
As quickly as possible.
Okay?
And you'll be.
Say hi to tim.
What exactly are we
listing here, noah?
Your valuables, arianne.
Of a certain lifestyle.
Once that lifestyle's
been destroyed...
You build it up again.
From what, noah?
To what?
To what it was.
Why?
Because that's what you had.
That means that's
what i have to have.
That's what your
claim was based on.
What you need to...
Return things to normal.
Which is?
Whatever you need
To feel like you're
functioning in the right way.
This is where it started.
I know.
How?
The inspector told me.
Did he tell you what happened?
It was a short circuit.
I noticed a spark on the floor.
It started so small...
You didn't stop it?
Something had to change.
Jesus! What the f***,
what the f***'s going on?
Hey!
Were they singing?
Who?
The persons behind the curtain.
I don't remember...
They could've been.
Don't you find that amazing?
What?
People singing in showers.
Ah...
I've never really
thought about it.
It's one of the only
times we touch ourselves.
All of ourselves...
Do you think that's the reason?
The sound.
Sound?
Shhhhhhh...
Yes! The sound!
And the privacy.
No, it can't be the privacy.
We used to sing in the showers
After a game.
The whole team would.
There'd be a lot of steam...
A lot of joking around,
Winding down...
Then, we'd just...
Start singing...
All of us...
Like...
Hum hum hum
Like one big family.
So it's got to be the touching.
Yes, mimi, it's gotta
be the touching.
Ha! Ha! Ha!
Where's that?
A place, not too far away.
Got any pictures of the inside?
Not yet.
Should i?
Yes!
Good morning!
Are you the owner of the house?
Do you speak english?
Does your husband speak english?
Is this your mom?
This is my card.
This is my job...
Bubba.
Bubba.
That's right, bubba...
So i was properly introduced.
Excuse me?
I'd like you to meet tyler,
His first day with us.
He told me your names...
I was so nervous
i forgot them all.
I'm asking you.
Hera.
Have you been here long, hera?
A while.
This is my first day.
So what do you think?
The process?
Yes.
It's pretty straightforward.
You've got guidelines,
You've got violations.
When you see one,
you push a button.
That's about it.
You can make it
more complicated,
If you want...
But...
That's a matter
of personal taste.
Can i sit beside you
for the next one?
I usually prefer to sit alone.
Why?
So i can concentrate.
On what?
The screen.
Oh...
Did you make that list yet?
No.
Any idea when it might be ready?
What if i don't make one?
Why not?
Why?
To make your claim.
Everything is destroyed.
That's not the point.
What is?
To have something to work with,
Something... something to show.
We know what i'm covered for.
You saw the state of
everything.
I don't see the
point of itemizing
What we already know...
It's a complete loss.
Oh...
It's not that simple.
What about the jewelry?
Now, they remained untouched.
So?
deducted from your claim.
Then why would we
even... list it?
What do you mean?
If any item i retrieve is...
Deducted from my claim,
Wouldn't it be to my advantage
Not to list anything...
Whose physical state...
Considering the
extent of the fire,
Is... surprisingly intact?
Isn't it a bit early?
Simone is sleeping.
When you first
showed them to her,
Now, she's...
Addicted?
That doesn't bother you?
That's the point of your job!
Since when have you
thought of my job?
How is your little colony?
I made an appointment
To see someone tomorrow.
A specialist.
Who's this?
He works for a film company.
I talked to him earlier today.
What did he want?
He wants to use our house
As a location.
He said he'd come by
He wants to take
Some pictures of the inside.
That's great... that's great...
Ah!
Ah! Ah!
Hey!
Hey!
Oh!
Sorry...
It came like this.
I'm not sure i understand.
This is a model home.
They used it to show
prospective buyers.
Why did they sell it?
They didn't need it anymore.
And the price was so low.
We assumed that the other units
Had been sold as well.
That wasn't the case?
No.
They decided to stop building.
Why?
The developer went bankrupt.
Then you're the only
ones who are staying
In this whole development?
Well, for now.
They can't just...
Someone will take
over the project.
They can't leave it
like this...
We don't know when.
Well!
Isn't that special?
They are photographs
Of our old neighborhood.
Why is she burning them?
She doesn't like to save things.
She doesn't like
to save things...
So tell us about the
movie you're making...
Hum... what would
you like to know?
Who's in it?
Nobody...
Nobody big.
Why did you
Choose this house?
Well...
I guess for the same reasons
that you did, i guess!
Hum... it's all alone,
it's unto itself...
Of course, you thought
that would be different,
That you would have neighbors...
But you don't...
Not yet.
Does that suit your character?
My character?
The character in the film
Who's supposed to live here.
The person in the film!
Well... the persons who
are supposed to live here
strange time in their lives.
They have everything they want.
Or they have means to have
everything they want...
But they don't know
what they need.
So they try different things...
And this house is one of them.
I'm not sure i...
I'm not sure i understand.
Well...
Some of the places you see,
you wouldn't think twice about.
And then...
For no reason, you
can see a house and...
Find yourself wondering what is
going on inside of those walls?
And sometimes, the opportunity
comes to find out.
It could be a...
An open door that you're
passing at night...
someone else's family, or...
It could be...
An invitation to dinner,
though that's rare.
You have to have friends...
And other times, you've...
You would find alternatives.
Am i keeping you
From work?
It's just that i have
An early appointment.
Ah...
So are you interested?
We will talk.
I... i will... i think so.
We'll talk and
we'll let you know.
Okay... well, by tomorrow?
I think so.
Does that hurt?
A bit.
What i'm doing is freezing them.
It should kill the warts
