This movie is inspired by a true story.

So what, are they celebrating?

Celebrate, celebrate, don't be funny in fact they work like bees.

Combines pleasure with benefit.

We know other ways.

It was a very hot summer.

Yes, the lavender bloomed a little earlier.

Any beautiful.

I'm afraid I'll have to start tidying up earlier.

Virgin Mary, why I have such a restless husband?

Ask her for rain.

Yes.

Maurice, look.

How strange.

One is missing.

This is news here. Now they are also uprooting the bushes.

Okay, I have to go.

I asked Marcel and Raul check the harvester.

She is not new.

What about containers? preparation for distillation?

That too. ok Harvesting machine.

Yes, I know. It will change our lives.

No more manual assembly.

Well, okay.

Well, yes, come on. Spoil her.

Ok, see you later, keep working.

Hello Maurice.

Hello Mr. Barr.

Well, how are you?

I think all fish sailed to the blue coast.

Well, no, they prefer the countryside.

Say, Maurice, is your companion don't you have to come today?

Yes, that's right. But you need to check the function.

It is not new. I'm afraid something will go wrong.

Well, what about you. Valensole is on all maps.

in the Michelin travel guide it's in all caps.

we are lucky that we have such a sea.

Your words warm my heart, Maurice.

Anyway, good fishing.

Coffee?

So what?

How about you Maurice?

My Boniface.

Oh, you're good.

I guess you had more than just tea this morning.

I stayed in the wine cellar too long.

I would look at both of you.

- Hello, Maurice. how are you - How about you, Dédé?

- Everything is fine. Who wants wine? - Guess.

This is for me.

Amazing.

Do you have any croissants, Dédé?

No. You have to go to the bakery to buy them.

Dédé, you can't leave me without croissants. I got a combine.

I bet it is Marcelina doesn't have them yet.

I bet you have.

That's right, Dédé. It just needs to be improved. Here she is.

Marceline!

- Marceline! - Hey, Marceline!

What are we doing here?

Men, why are you shouting so much?

- You just don't need to. - What are you, jealous?

Andrey, bring the croissants.

Well, one, two, three. Timothy - two. Correct for him.

Five, please.

Hello friends. everything ok

Hello boss.

I can't, I'm meeting with the mayor.

I saw him, he was fishing. Looks like you have time.

He said - at eight.

- Well, then I'll have coffee. - Okay.

Gentlemen, I will sit down.

So you have a meeting with the mayor?

Yes, I have a meeting with the mayor. and you, it seems, with wine.

Well, okay.

- It turned out nicely. - Yes, I just finished.

Well, then I'll lose.

I guarded him like the apple of my eye. I was afraid to spoil it.

You know I'm committed to you lend anything you want.

Thanks for shooting the video about your family is...

Well, Dédé, the sports cafe, sixty-fifth year.

- This is what needs to be immortalized. - Don't be silly, Maurice.

Imagine the time will pass and some people will see us.

Dédé, Maurice...

But there will be no sound.

Maybe not so bad.

In view of this, what we sometimes carry is really true.

- You know, I'll pick her up later. - Okay.

So that I don't get lost.

- See you later, Dédé. - Goodbye, Maurice.

I'm sorry, but Dédé becomes weaker and weaker.

Weaker?

Well, I leave you.

Marcel and Rauliu waiting for me at the distillery.

By the way, are they friends?

- Yes. - Frequent guests in our gendarmerie.

Effects of youth.

- Yes. - Straight from the oven.

- Thanks, friend. - I added two more.

Thank you very much.

Let's eat.

- Dédé, I will pay. - Will be your alibi.

Thanks Maurice.

Thanks Maurice.

Hey, come on.

what are you doing honey

what do you want from me

I don't want you!

Doggy!

what did you say

Listen, what did you say!?

Maybe you're crazy, Marcel?

Go fix your nose.

- You go behind the ferry. - Shit.

wait

How does the combine work?

what do you mean

Gearbox motor. I asked him to check it.

And you are arguing here like idiots.

I wanted to check the engine, but I didn't understand what he said.

Of course it works. But it will work even better if we check everything.

This is no joke. If something goes wrong, are we going back to manual assembly?

How I get bored of you!

- Dad? - Yes?

In a month I will have to go to San Provence to do an internship in a printing house.

What are you going to do in the printing house?

Well, learning a craft.

It's a good experience if you want to work in publishing.

How is that? At the publishing house?

Our daughter has ambitions.

I thought she was going to work in the fields all her life?

Hey, San Provence isn't that far.

I will come every weekend.

Don't worry. Everything is fine.

Claude, are you leaving us?

Well, no.

It's important to her.

But...

i'm too busy I can't go there.

What worries you?

After all, you hardly saw how she grew up.

Who is the big star?

Change the subject? Better to talk about the stars, yes?

See there?

Like a cloud.

But it's not a cloud. It's another galaxy.

The only one that can be seen like this.

What, not all of them are visible?

No.

We can only see ours galactic constellations.

Milky way.

But if with a telescope, then it is possible.

Then you can see much further.

Like your daughter.

She sees further.

How do you know all this?

See below.

Maurice?

In my field.

I thought it was a car.

But it's something like...

Something like what?

Come on, come on, come on, come on. Right.

Calm down, daughter. That's it.

Right, right. Pull, pull

Tighten well.

what did you do

Is this where your dad comes from?

Yes.

Maurice?

everything ok

what is why did you come back

Maurice?

Problems at the distillery? Someone with a combine?

you scare me

what for dad

Mom?

I don't know what to tell you.

tell me

- Mom? - What? I...

promise that if i say you don't tell anyone.

It's just between us.

Jeanette, we need to talk to Maurice.

Why? Did something happen?

He seems to have said something how to say...

...special.

And now everyone is talking about it.

Maurice, wake up.

Come on, the gendarmes are waiting for you downstairs.

- Gendarmes? - Yes.

What the..?

They want to talk.

I didn't think the gendarmes did that.

Me too.

Do you believe this whole story?

I have never seen your father like this.

in 1965 July 1 in Oligule area, located 2 kilometers from Valensole,

in the Provence Alps,

41-year-old farmer Maurice Mass

reported seeing an unidentified flying object in your field.

Then there is a flying object suddenly flew away at lightning speed.

This object was rugby ball shaped,

at his side were gliding lights,

and on top - a transparent material.

Testimony given in the gendarmerie by Mr Maurice Mass 1965 July 1 8 p.m.

Is everything correct?

Yes.

And that's all?

ok What happened after that?

I went to Dédé Mason, I told him everything...

and I returned home.

But marks were left there too.

What did those marks look like?

At the bottom of it.

Maurice, are you all right?

Yes.

Here it is.

Yes.

There was such a support, a column, which disappeared in the middle of the earth...

Listen, maybe it was just a helicopter?

Military exercises are currently taking place here.

Operation "Provence 65".

I know what a helicopter looks like and it wasn't a helicopter.

And helicopters don't leave such holes.

What about lightning?

I wouldn't be surprised.

Armand, you know me.

We fought together.

There were all kinds of storms.

I know what lightning is.

I can't see clearly, but it seems to me that there are still traces, like furrows.

Listen, I'll have to go back tomorrow and collect all samples.

- Why take samples? - Such a protocol.

Do you have a UFO protocol?

In a way, yes. This is specified in the manual.

But we don't talk about that. People would laugh.

Yes, it's better not to talk about it.

Well, I'll have to go back tomorrow. We will take you.

I'm worried about you Maurice.

What do you mean by worried?

Because it happened to you.

What?

Well, you don't seem to belong.

If I told you this what would you think

You should see the tags.

I don't need to look at the tags.

I need to hear the truth.

Come on, come here.

Why did the military come?

This is an adult matter.

But I'm an adult.

yes i know sunshine that you are an adult.

But not quite yet.

Well, everything needs to sleep in order to grow up.

I'm afraid I'll have nightmares.

You won't have nightmares.

Imagine something very beautiful.

Mom and Dad are protecting you.

Nothing will happen to you. OK?

And for us too.

sleep

I had to be woken up.

I wanted you to sleep before the doctor comes.

- Did you call the doctor? - Well, yes

I have to go to the gendarmerie.

what time is it

what is

What?

Clock.

Look.

What is this?

who is there

Not a word to the doctor.

Increased drowsiness, body reaction.

You need to rest, that's all.

Does this mean that will i sleep all day like this?

No.

This will all pass. You are young, you will recover.

Orange juice, good coffee to start the day.

And then, you know, sleeping too long can cause a kind of sadness.

Closure.

Closure. That was still missing.

Everything will be fine.

Go now.

calm down Take it easy, take it easy.

Come on, come on, come on.

go Come on, come on, come on.

Yes, yes, yes, yes. calm down calm down

- Drive. - I can't.

- Just calm down. - No, no, no, no, no.

Don't stand here. There is nothing to stand here.

please tell me how do you get to that with aliens?

There are no aliens here. Come on, go.

Go, bully!

Drive, don't stop. You are obstructing traffic.

There is a car in front of me. I can't.

Exactly. You are disturbing. Drive faster.

Fascist!

If you call me a fascist, i will arrest you!

Oh, Boniface!

is that you Park it there, we'll have a little drink.

ok And who are those people?

Interested in Maurice's story. Came from everywhere.

Come on, park yourself.

- Really? - I'm fine.

- Thank you. - And you, friends?

ok

- Cheers. - Cheers.

Take a look. Here he is. Maurice is coming.

He doesn't look happy.

I told you to shut up.

How about you Maurice?

I told reporters today, that you are in Valensole.

Everyone's looking for you, Maurice. This is your story after all.

And what a story.

We were all so excited.

And now such a sensation has been blown out.

I am very sorry.

So what, are you crazy or what?

Well, that obviously got on the nerves.

Mr. Massa, one question.

Mr. Mass.

30 centimeters.

And 20 centimeters.

Do you really believe this story?

My father never lies.

Maurice, are you all right?

If I told you everything you'd think I was crazy.

Nonsense.

So, it stood a bit, then flew off in that direction.

Yes, I saw her.

I will calm you down.

There is absolutely no radiation here.

And that's unusual.

The soil is hard as a rock.

Is this normal Maurice?

Maurice?

It's a toad.

So it's not an alien.

my father

Do you hear what they are saying?

It's him.

- Thank you. - There is nothing for it.

did you have dinner today

I have to go to the distillery.

Tell mom it's okay.

Hello Mr. Mass, Albertino Dižoan, journalist.

- When you saw that angel... - I don't want to talk about it.

...you compared it with the Dorfin car, right?

Yes, that's right.

I said that at first I thought it was Dorfin.

- But it wasn't Dorfin. - No.

What color was that... well, the machine?

- It couldn't be a hallucination. - What do you want to know anyway?

True, Mr. Massa.

People want to know if it's a fake.

Go to the meadows. Is it fake?

Seems displeased.

Why did they come to you a simple farmer?

What, I'm a villager? Yes?

They should have flown to you townspeople.

The editors are ready to pay 50,000 francs for the right to give an interview.

Mr. Mass.

Leave me alone.

My card.

Just in case he changes his mind.

Nervous, poor thing.

I don't believe his story. He just wanted a divorce.

- To sell more lavender than others. - What?

He said he heard a whistle. I heard him too.

Yes, yes, although it was far away. And then I arrived.

Everything he says is true it cannot be otherwise.

Don't say anything.

I don't want the gendarmes to interrogate us.

- I will say that I saw aliens. - You won't say anything.

- I'm joking. - And I'm not.

and help me they will not clean themselves.

I saw dad in the square.

On the square?

He's not outside?

There was a journalist who offered him money for the article.

This made him angry.

Money?

What do they think we are?

I understand that this made him angry. Me too.

I'll go help him.

Besides, he didn't eat anything.

I haven't forgotten anything. I'm going

i love you

And I love you.

- You heard again, Lucien? - Yes, bring me water.

Raul, help me turn on the faucet.

What?

Help me stop by. He is getting married.

- What is it? - I don't know where that sound is coming from.

- Where does it come from? - Can't you hear the whistle?

- Hello, Lucien! - Good afternoon, Mrs. Mass.

- Hello, boys. - Good afternoon, Mrs. Mass.

- Have you seen Maurice? - Actually, no.

By the way, we have a small problem with a steam generator.

- He didn't come? - We were also surprised.

- How is he? - Everything is fine.

Let's see what's going on here.

We will try to fix it.

- Are you checking the flow? - Yes, everything is fine.

- Raul. - Yes?

Open the first tank and give me some steam.

ok

Just that weird whistling.

- How long has he been like this? - From this morning.

Raul, give it some steam.

Strange though.

Back off. Raul, shut up.

Are you all right, Mrs. Mass?

Bring water.

Everything is fine.

Here it is.

show me

The eyes are fine, see?

Well, we finally found the leak.

Let me accompany you.

No, it's fine.

I will go by myself. I'll take a breath of air.

If you see my husband tell him I'm looking for him.

Of course. We will let you know as soon as it arrives.

I will bring it right away.

Sir, what about you?

Michael Birdlen. Journalist.

I was told that it was you who reported it to the gendarmes.

But I was here, I didn't see anything.

I hadn't even gone looking for tracks this morning.

Well, look what's coming.

- Good day, Dédé. - Good day.

You'll never guess what we found.

A frog.

A frog?

In lavender bushes? Now this is very serious.

Maurice Mass is not with you?

Mr. Mass, I have a few more questions.

No, no.

Do you know where it is?

Well, let me get you some coffee.

You were in Valensole,

for if you were not, Valensole history goes back centuries.

Do you believe in aliens?

What can I say? I didn't see them.

We have a wonderful lavender field in Valensole.

Basiki 18th century castle. By the way, if you write an article about…

Thank you sir.

What is insolence?

The English. Ever since the Battle of Agincourt they have been so…

Gendarmerie

These two were no taller than meters tall, about the size of children.

Their heads were shaped like pumpkins.

In size, it surpassed normal, human ones.

Eyes... eyes big, black, without eyelashes.

The skin is smooth, hairless.

They looked like children with big heads.

You know, after the first statement there were a lot of calls.

Many journalists came and made videos.

This story has already caused much noise throughout the country.

A lot.

So you know what's going to happen after this new statement.

The whole town will be talking about us.

Everyone will laugh at us.

I understand.

There is nothing you can do about it.

I thought everything through.

In the small village of Valensole There is an uproar over a UFO sighting.

Just look. Parisians.

Aren't they bored yet?

Tell me, gentlemen, is there anything can you tell me something

Has anyone seen anything? Did someone say something?

Here he came out, himself in person.

Mr. Mason, the camera is over there. Today you are the village star.

Mr. Mass told you all, when he saw a UFO himself outside.

- Yes. - So share with us.

Yes, yes. He came to me in the morning Maurice Mass. He is my friend.

He said he saw it unidentified flying object.

He said I shouldn't talk about it. This is a big event.

How long did you last? keep it a secret?

- One day. - One day?

The next morning everyone was talking about it. Everyone has arrived.

- All regional journalists? - Yes, and all newspapers, yes.

what do you think did it really happen in valensole?

I think so, because sir Marks were indeed left on Massa's land.

Maybe one of the people did it?

No, no, I don't think so. There is no such device here, so I don't think so.

And does Mr. Mass make fun of you sometimes? Are you kidding?

no no no i think that he is telling the truth

for he was impressed by what he saw.

Hence the Martians Valenzuela doesn't scare you?

No, no, no, I don't think so.

He said he saw a Martian.

- Even two. - Two?

And then they flew away.

They flew away. Immediately after when he noticed them.

Everything, turn it off. We filmed what was needed.

- Well done, Dédé. - Well done.

Well done, bravo.

Mr. Massa, a few words.

What? Talking about a helicopter?

Mr. Mass! Mr. Mass!

Mr. Mass!

Mr. Judge, leave it rest in peace Mr. Massa.

Please, Mr. Mass! Mr. Mass!

One question, Mr. Massa.

Mr. Mass, open it, please.

What is this circus?

Well, what are manners? Get out!

Well, blood pressure is normal, general condition is normal,

you need rest, that's all.

And above all, don't get discouraged, Maurice. This is the most important thing.

It's easy to say.

Need, need, everything will be fine.

Get out of here you psychopath! What did you do with my bees?

They are roasting us. It's all about her!

Go away! Go to hell!

My bees.

My bees.

Everything can start.

Janet...

Maurice, forgive me for having to ask you, but you need to go to the gendarmerie again.

The boss arrived from Paris, want to interview you.

I haven't seen him before.

Mr. Massa, I am from the gendarmerie Captain Claude Markalis.

I have carefully read your testimony, and we need to start all over again.

I know you tried express your thoughts clearly,

however, we have exactly check every fact.

We need answers to all questions.

We take it very seriously to this matter, Mr. Mass.

Try not to forget anything do not miss any details. Got it?

Shall we start?

Where were you in 1965? July 1 morning?

What do you mean?

You got me right, Mr. Mass.

- Yes, I already told you. - You claim you heard a whistle.

Something like whistling, yes.

Be specific, Mr. Mass.

What was the origin of that whistle?

Don't remember?

I have to log this.

Put it aside for now.

Need to check does he not change the testimony.

Captain, I know this man well.

- We fought together, and I think... - When I am interested in your opinion, I will ask.

Well, how did it go?

What did they ask?

Made me repeat the same thing over and over again.

But you told me everything.

I don't know. I...

I'm tired of the questions.

I don't understand why they are so angry.

And what to understand here? Nobody believes me. And that's it.

- Even you, I see you don't believe. - Stop it.

Janet...

Look into my eyes and tell me you believe me

See?

Even you can't do that.

- Calm down. - I'm calm.

You're going to start yelling at me, right?

It will be enough to remember the vote.

Do you want to be heard?

You don't think why we pay so much attention.

I don't care what they hear.

The problem is that no one I don't believe what I saw.

Maurice is tired no need to contradict him.

Everyone just laughs at me.

Last time, even the gendarmes laughed.

But now I know what everyone is thinking.

That I'm a liar and I'm not telling you everything.

- Are you done? - No, I haven't finished.

Yes, you are done.

You're done, shut up.

And you will listen to me.

Think you're the only one?

Are you the only one suffering from all this?

And your family?

Have you thought about family?

About me? Did you think about me?

In the village they look at us like circus animals.

The children no longer play with Jean.

Think about your son, about your daughter.

Her youth is over.

Because she is worried about her father.

And I don't live at all.

My life is over.

I know you are suffering, I can see it.

Leave me alone.

You don't understand.

You don't understand what it means to see gendarmes.

And all those people.

And everyone else.

I'm trying to protect you.

And who will protect me?

Who will protect me?

I'm probably going to visit my sister.

With children.

No, no, Jeanette, don't do that.

Without you I will perish, you know that.

- I know, but I'm tired. - I know.

I'm tired.

Come on, let's go home.

ok

I'll take your bike.

let's go

UFO in Valensole

Do you believe that?

What?

That story with the aliens.

She is interesting.

By the way, I'm going to Valensole.

Ah, so you are very interested in this.

However...

How do you tell?

Have you heard of the miracle of Fatima?

With Deb Maria appearing for three kids, it's incomparable.

Where were the tens of thousands of witnesses?

Yes.

But that day the sun danced.

What do the witnesses say?

It's strange when the sun dances though.

Do you believe in God?

In my profession you have to be open to all hypotheses.

Jeanette...

Something else happened when I saw the object.

I didn't tell because no one would have believed.

I don't want to be locked up to a psychiatric hospital.

People say it's a hallucination.

But I know I saw it extraterrestrial beings.

They paralyzed me.

It wasn't people.

I have a present for you. Take

Look here at what you want to remove.

And press the button, see, there it is.

Like it?

Can be filmed.

No, it's even better.

A real movie can be shot.

Why did they fly to you?

- What? - Aliens.

And I don't know why they came.

Aliens.

Maybe look at the lavender?

Maybe.

- Or bees. - Or bees.

Will they come back?

Well...

What if they flew in for the bees?

It will probably come back.

Everything is fine.

There is nothing to fear.

If they come back to look at the bees, you can film them.

OK?

That's all. Good night, son.

Who is this alone?

Can I talk to you?

No, you don't have to. i will go

good day Are you Maurice Mass?

- And who are you? - Professor Lacombe.

I am a ufologist.

Ufologist?

A specialist who studies aliens.

I studied various phenomena all over the world.

The gendarmes told me you were here.

I read your testimony.

- You from the police? - Not at all.

I am a scientist. I worked with Professor Heinek.

He is an astronomical researcher in America.

Everything is simple.

I don't want you to... you would talk about it.

What is this?

All investigative agencies takes these phenomena seriously.

I don't doubt for a second what happened.

I believe in you.

People have no idea what is this phenomenon.

They often think that it's something magical.

The reality is completely different. It is often a real trauma for witnesses.

The military has a lot of data, however, it is a state secret.

So far, no one knows what it is phenomena and where they came from.

But wait.

When you say that the military have a lot of data

this means that many saw the same as Maurice.

Yes.

These phenomena appear to us some form.

We ask ourselves whether those who observes them, is able to manipulate reality.

But... what reality?

Imagine a hundred people left the cinema hall.

If you ask them what they saw,

such as a western

they will all answer that saw cowboys and Indians.

But cowboys and Indians in this case is only a projection on the screen.

The real technology is behind the audience.

This is a projector.

I want to meet the designer.

We will never have all the explanations.

You have to accept that that it will remain a secret.

Marks on soil, in addition to physiological effects, such as increased sleepiness or paralysis,

makes your case unique.

I need you, Mr. Mass, tell me what happened.

How long will he have to? tell all this?

He has already told everything. For the whole village. Gendarmerie.

Yes, but in gendarmerie reports there is always one mistake.

The most important element is not there.

Emotions.

I want you to tell me about it.

OK then... I'll make some more coffee.

But this... Did my husband see this?

Yes, without a doubt.

- Thank you for your trust. - Thank you for listening.

Goodbye.

You see, you're not the only one.

You are not crazy.

So how are you satisfied? Does the combine work?

Yes, yes. It works.

Those two creatures...

...which I saw...

I think so do I I scared them a little.

Why do you say that?

Because...

...when our eyes met...

...in their eyes I saw...

...kindness.

I so wish you were there.

It was beautiful.

I don't doubt that for a second.

Well, let's get to work.

- Look. - What are you filming there?

He will film how dad drives a combine harvester.

let's go

Ten years of lavender did not grow in this area.

This case at the space research center classified as unexplained.

in 2021 NASA Director announced, that UFOs may be of extraterrestrial origin.

Maurice Mass did not testify again.

In the small village of Valensole with a UFO the show started a stir.

I'm in a sports cafe right now.

In this charming village, men play cards.

Say, gentlemen, whether the chief witness Mr. Masso went on vacation?

Has anyone seen anything? Can anyone tell me anything?

Mr. Mass!

The owner of this restaurant, Mr. Mason?

Mr. Mason is of today the star of this village!

Mr. Masso told you everything, when he saw a UFO in his field.

Yes, yes, in the morning Maurice Masso came to me he is my friend

and told me that he saw it unidentified flying object.

And said I shouldn't talk about it. Who knows what could happen.

- How long did you manage to keep it a secret? - One day.

- One day? - The next morning everyone was talking about it.

Everyone was gathered there.

- All regional journalists? - Yes, and all newspapers, yes.

Well, you personally think that there was a UFO in valensole?

I think so, because sir There are residual marks on Masso's land.

- Are they clearly visible? - Yes, clearly visible.

Maybe one of the people did it?

No, no, I don't think so. There is no such device here.

Does Mr. Masso make fun of you sometimes?

No, no, no. I think he was telling me the truth.

Because he was impressed with what he saw.

Mr. Masso went to the Cote d'Azur because of the possible consequences?

No, no. He just has business there. He took his daughter there.

And his friend lives there.

- The Martians in Valensole, that doesn't scare you? - No, no, no. I don't think so.

- He said he saw a Martian. - Even two.
