Ladies and gentlemen

Tonight...

My dear friend. Farid the Great!

For you.

Farid, the one and only.

Beware, that one bites.

I don't like this kind of

entertainment. I want to dance.

Shall we go?

I really feel like dancing.

I'm afraid I'm not up to it.

I don't want to be uptight.

I want to be a lustful virgin.

To me, making love is

like breathing.

When I met Saynanda,

he looked at me..

He put his marvellous hand

on my breast and said:

"What is here, is out there.

What is not here,

is nowhere else."

What is here is nowhere else.

No.

Beware, you'll wear her out.

It was a good man,

coming from the sea

He spoke another language

but he knew how to love..

To Karl Marx.

Argh, poor Vladimir.

If the typewriters were

machine guns

I'd find myself naked in sh*t

like any other martyr.

How far are you willing to go

to follow me?

Good night, my love

Good night, between the phone

and the sky...

Saynanda and I slept together for

a month without touching each other.

One month, he'd sleep on my right.

The next, on my left side.

It was a ritual of preparation

for the sacred coitus.

And when it happened...

It was unbearable.

I even passed out

and then, I got pregnant.

I wanted to call my baby Maituna.

We're closing up in an hour.

Can I drive you home?

Where?

- Where you live?

- I have no home.

Where then?

Wherever you want.

That would be all for tonight.

Thanks. Bye.

This is unfair. He stops

playing whenever he wants.

And your luggage?

Listen...

They're offering me to perform

Plato's Banquet.

I'm a bit scared, at my age,

to switch from variety to philosophy.

The opposite is more difficult.

They offered me also

the role of Agathon

but my dream role is Diotima.

I can't listen to you anymore.

I have to go with the miss.

Please, do me a favour.

Tell Nicola that I will pick him up

tomorrow at 11.

Gudrun! I'll pick him up at 11!

I want him with the suitcase ready

his pyjama and slippers.

His balls and legs clean!

Clear?

Let's go.

Excuse me.

It's a story...

Long and painful.

I know that for you the Tantrism

is just a matter of sex.

No, I know very well that

thanks to tantr...

the Tantrism, there!

We can even reach and

understand the absolute.

Do you know what does the orgasm

mean to us?

No, for you, I have no clue..

It's like a state of shock which

set all your hidden energies free.

The more you're free,

the more you're wild.

Where are you taking me?

Nice tattoo.

You like it?

I've always liked storks.

But since I aborted,

they must be very angry at me.

It's like I cheated on them.

The storks can also accidentally

let a child fall from their beak.

You're saying that because

you're kind.

No, I'm pretty sure.

Listen, your..

The guru's apprentice..

Your initiator, what has become

of him?

Gone. I was nothing

but humiliation to him.

Look, the sun is rising.

I'm experiencing ecstasy.

You are the one moving me!

You, you're the Sun.

You are God.

You are God.

How incredibly beautiful!

A moment like this

should last an eternity!

Oh, God. I hope not.

I'm hungry.

I hope if we can buy

cappuccino and brioches here.

I'm hungry.

- I'm starving.

- Watch out.

You haven't walked

on high heels for a while.

The red car is for crooks.

It's not red. It's fuchsia.

So classy.

Good morning.

We're so hungry.

With lot of foam.

Sir, please, take this lady away.

Don't be cruel. I can't stand

the sight of her.

She blinds my sight.

She's so beautiful.

Almost in a insulting way.

I see you can recognize

the Divine.

It has something do to

with the spiritual perfection.

- Perhaps. I don't know.

- Thank you.

See you soon.

You always eat that much?

I used to eat nothing at all.

First you made me cry now eat

two things I haven't be able

to do for a long time.

It's obvious you have

some strange powers.

Is there a phone nearby?

I had it removed.

Too much disturbance.

I have to phone my doctor.

My stomach aches.

I sweat a bit.

I suffer from a minor

heart disease.

The medical term is

"tachycardia paroxystic".

Call a doctor now?

You... What's your name?

Francesca.

Pretty name.

May I take the tray?

Miss, for hygienic reasons, please

do not touch all the croissants.

Take and eat them all.

In winter, we don't serve

the cappuccinos at the table.

- Beware, that girl is the devil.

- She's beautiful!

I'm glad she's eating all

the croissants.

What are we going to offer

to our other customers.

Anyway, you lose your mind

whenever you see a pretty woman.

Here are the house keys.

Do not expect to enter a castle!

Who are you talking to?

I'm here.

Sorry if I raised my voice.

I still believe that people

are not used to

the roar of the sea.

Where are you?

Don't leave me alone here.

Come.

Your four children? Bravo.

No. Not four. Two.

Two, you see?

Two are of my son and the other

two of my daughter.

I can't see anything without

the glasses.

But you saw me well?

If you didn't, it's better we

don't start anything.

Bear in mind that I'm not

a prince charming.

I can even kill myself.

Take me. Take me.

Take me.

You know what does

"take me" mean?

I have a slight blackout.

I feel dizzy.

I can faint any moment.

Sometimes yes.

Sometimes no.

What do you say if I

lie down a bit?

So many feelings in just one night.

First dawn, the sun, you...

Now the God, storks, dawn...

That jerk Nicola

who needs an operation...

It's just... I wasn't ready yet.

On the other hand, you see the God

you feel struck down.

Such a shame.

Come. Let's make love.

I want to be up to it.

Mom... Dad gave you a beating

the day of my 1st communion.

He was against it.

He was an anarchist.

I got all the brioches,

even those most squashed.

If it was summer, they would be

full of ants.

Thanks for last night.

How nice your kimono is.

Saynanda gave it to me,

when he offered me to his

friends. It's for whores.

Coffee.

I forgot...

She told me to thank you.

I'm so hungry.

Who touched this purse?

Sorry, I forgot to tell you

I'm a little bit disorientated.

How about moving into my studio

flat? I'll manage somehow.

Would you like to go now?

Get up a bit.

Get up.

Now when I see you well

you look like a monster.

Show me your profile.

You even have a beer belly.

And I who have been with

handsome men only.

Excuse me for a moment.

I have to go out.

Excuse me...

I'm going out a bit.

Go away! Away!

Let me die in peace.

What are you doing?

You are slashing your wrists?

Egoistical swine!

We were so happy together.

In bed, you're a volcano.

Don't make fun of me.

I never joke about these things.

Believe me, it was amazing.

That's why I want to die.

Our story is so beautiful

that can't last long.

A moment like that

will never ever happen again.

You can see God only once

in a lifetime.

Why are you drinking my blood?

Why?

Now, I'll close my eyes

and you'll be gone.

Kiss me one more time.

I want to die with

God's grace.

I want to die like
