Fucking shit.

Hey guys! Yeah, yeah.

Hey Cachou, happy, eh?

Hello, hello.

Sleep well?

Pixie, you'll get your kibble soon.

PEAK EVERYTHING

A message to you from Polar Lux

We trust that your new lamp will bring light to your days

for many years to come.

If you have any problems or questions, please contact us directly.

We will try to help you.

- Hi Romy. - Hi.

Have a nice night?

Did you maybe forget to turn off the outside light last night?

No.

It's no big deal...

I didn't forget.

Okay. Then can you start with the puppies' cages please?

Yeah... that's the problem.

I have trouble taking orders.

Don't take it as an order.

Of course it's my kennel, but...

Okay, I'll start with the cages and you do the kibble?

Okay.

Thanks Adam.

Come.

What?

Follow me.

Where are you going?

- Romy, what are you doing? - Nothing.

We're alone.

Me too.

- Like that? - Yeah.

Thanks for doing a good job today, Romy.

See you tomorrow?

Don't get any ideas, eh?

What?

You're much too old for me.

Got it?

Yup, I understand, it's clear.

Have a nice day.

You too, Romy.

What's your helper's name again?

Romy.

She's cute. Is she nice?

Yes, very nice.

Does she have big boobs? Girls today don't seem to have any.

Yes, I suppose her breasts are just fine.

Don't get any ideas, eh?

But it'd be nice for Adam to meet someone.

It's time.

Look in the mirror, Frank.

At least I've lived with a woman.

- Been a while now. - But you...

You're handsome, it's different. -You're handsome too.

Enough, boys.

You guys are late on everything.

No girlfriends, no kids, no house, no cash, no trips, nothing.

You're missing out on everything.

Jeez.

I can't say anything to you, Adam.

You have good personal coverage.

But you need to watch out for your business.

His business!

It's growing.

He walks the neighbours' dogs. It's a job for a little girl.

It's a kennel, Eugène.

How many do you have now?

Depends on the litters.

Fifteen, plus the ones I board.

Holy shit! I don't wanna scare you but what if it catches fire?

It's happening more and more often.

What do you mean?

Climate change!

There'll be more storms, drought, flooding...

I know.

I know.

Sorry, I really don't like to think about that.

How much do you think it's worth?

They're my dogs, I can't put a number on them.

Two million!

That's what I think, Eugène.

You gotta bring it up to two million, minimum.

Adam, you're a business man.

You have to start thinking like one.

A businessman!

It's not working.

Why didn't I have any siblings?

Jeez, are you seven years old?

When Mom found out she was sick

did she leave a letter or anything for me?

There's no letter. You're being a pain.

You were two, what would she write you?

Yeah, okay.

Hi Romy, everything okay?

Yes, it's just that I can't get up.

It's sort of because of you.

Well, both of us.

Oh, yeah?

Where is she?

It was good, eh?

Wasn't it good?

Yes. Very good.

I'm touching myself now, thinking about yesterday.

Are you touching yourself?

It's not a good time.

Good time for what?

Too bad.

I'll be in late, after lunch.

I'm lounging in bed now.

Great, see you later.

Romy has an emergency, she'll be late.

What emergency?

A family thing.

She hates the kennel, it's obvious.

Hello.

Adam Tremblay please?

That's me.

I'm confirming your appointment with Dr. Catalina Flores

on Tuesday at 6pm.

Catalina?

What?

Catalina Flores, psychiatrist.

I confirm the appointment.

Sorry?

I confirm the appointment.

Thank you. Goodbye.

Bye.

I will stop.

I will feel.

I will see and enjoy.

And I'll simply tell myself

that no matter what has happened

and no matter what will happen,

this moment is one of happiness.

Now, slowly,

gently,

open your eyes.

Return to reality.

Return to reality.

WHAT IS LIGHT THERAPY?

Come on, fetch!

Bring it here.

Give it here.

Good boy.

Hello.

Hello.

This is Simon.

Can he hang out here today?

We feel like being together.

It won't make any difference if he's here.

You can start with the pens.

Dude, it'd be cool if you let us do it here.

Do what?

My roommates are home all the time.

She lives with her folks.

Could we maybe use the office?

Not in front of the dogs.

That would be cringe.

Maybe at lunchtime?

Or in the evening.

No, it's not possible. Gobelet, fetch!

The planet has just seen its hottest July on record.

Natural disasters have been increasingly common this year,

while here at home, the heat wave...

Why are you here, Mr. Tremblay?

When I called for an appointment,

I wasn't doing too well.

No.

Can you try to describe why?

Yes.

It's that...

Global warming is increasing non-stop,

causing natural disasters

like wildfires, floods, droughts, hurricanes.

Alright.

And it'll get worse fast.

Scientists talk about a tipping point, a point of no return,

or a feedback loop that we'll reach much sooner than we expected.

We've known for a long time that the glaciers are melting.

Now it's happening so fast, they'll submerge us.

This will create a warm current that'll affect the entire Atlantic.

Thermal expansion, the loss of permafrost.

This could raise sea levels by two meters by the end of the century.

Bombay, Jakarta, Shanghai will all be under sea level within 20 years.

Ironically, it also creates droughts in Asia and Africa.

Because of course it's the poor, exploited populations that suffer most.

Soon, 300 million people will be moving towards sustainable regions,

like here.

It'll be chaos. We're not ready for it.

If it's not that, it'll be something else.

Low fertility rates, the militarization of space,

microplastics, deep sea mining,

trawling.

Trawling!

Peak oil, peak coal, peak wood and water.

Wood, water, rice,

farmland, we took it all!

We are the cockroaches of the world.

Scientists use the expression "Peak Everything."

The peak of everything.

But we keep going, because we're stuck in this system.

T.I.N.A.

We can't even imagine what will happen.

Famines, massacres,

massive social instability, civil wars for natural resources.

Our systems will crash, it's already begun!

So sorry.

Depressed

If we have to fight to survive, say, for the last bottle of water,

or the last piece of bread,

I'd be the first to die.

I wouldn't fight for myself.

I want others to live.

Also, I'm not sleeping.

When I can't sleep at night, I think...

I think it would be better for things to end now.

Not for others, but for me.

Don't worry, I'm not dangerous.

But sometimes I think that

one less parasite wouldn't be a bad thing.

Also, my eyes get dry.

They burn.

And that's about it.

I'm sorry, because I'm actually doing well.

I don't mean to make things weird or be depressing.

Fucking shit!

Solastalgia is a deep distress

caused by perceived irreversible changes in our environment.

In a world that seems to be self-destructing,

some people are overcome by a suffocating sense of powerlessness.

"The place where I grew up, where I wantmy children to grow up, is falling apart,

"and there's nothing I can do," they think.

But the wise will see thisas a chance to rise up and accept things,

to understand and to take action.

We must remain calm when everything's falling apart.

We must remain calmwhen everything comes back to life.

You sure this is safe?

They say not to engage in intense activity during a heatwave.

This isn't intense, it's light activity.

Fuck it, man, for real. It's fucking 45 degrees.

I've been speaking with a woman over the phone.

We have very nice conversations.

She's smart, and she has a soft voice.

Interesting.

Only on the phone? Or do you see each other?

We've never met.

So... it's not really real.

It's very real.

Gently.

Gotta give them lots of fresh water today, it's really hot.

Heatwaves are even worse for dogs than humans.

- Adam Tremblay? - Yes, that's me.

Thanks, have a good day.

We are sorry for the inconvenienceand trust that...

Pop? Why are you here?

Fucking government housing, it's too hot in there.

I'm sleeping here tonight.

All right.

What's all this? You sick?

No.

Lorazepram.

Auro-venlafaxine.

What are these?

Nothing.

And what's that?

Nothing.

What is it?

A therapeutic sun lamp,

anxiolytics, sleeping pills and antidepressants.

What?

Sometimes I'm sad.

About what?

Sometimes I wonder why I'm alive.

Why you're alive?

Come on, what's the deal?

You live, that's it!

Why you're alive?

I'll take care of this trash.

You don't need that!

We live and that's it!

Dad,

get out of here.

Don't overreact.

Get out of my house.

Calm down.

Get out!

Out!

- Come on! - Out!

Jesus, take it easy!

I can help you. What's this about?

I really need to speak with Tina.

She sent me a message in code, and...

Hello, Tina?

Thanks for calling - Polar Lux Technologies. - Our offices are closed until...

What's going on?

I need your car!

- What the fuck? - Thanks Dad!

I need it to go bowling tomorrow!

Thanks for calling Polar Lux Technologies...

Why are you calling me?

Romy, you gotta take care of the dogs. You know how. Simon can help.

What? For how long? Why is there wind? What's up?

Just a few days. I gotta go. The dogs! Think about the dogs!

Hello dogs!

Gobelet, my good dog.

Hi Gobelet, you're my little dog.

You're back already?

Romy, meet Tina.

Is she your girlfriend? Is she staying long? What's up?

She's not my girlfriend, we're not staying long,

I just wanted to check in and make sure you were here.

You can start with the small cages.

Relax!

- Quit it! - Romy?

Be gentler with the dogs, please.

I don't do orders.

Not an order. -It's an order, but a sneaky one.

Romy, I'm your boss.

Of course I'm going to give you instructions.

From now on, please be gentler with the dogs.

And with me too.

If you're not happy with that, you can find another job

and I'll look for a new employee.

You're authoritarian now?

I think I like it.

And the handcuffs are a nice touch.

It turns me on.

I'm all wet.

Please give a handful of diabetic kibble to Cannelle.

About ten grams.

- Lots going on, eh Adam? - Yup.

- You're doing good? - Yup.

Don't move.

The sheets are clean.

Thank you.

Adam? You okay?

Adam!

Hey, what's going on?

What's going on, René, is that everything is changing!

Stop!

What's changing?

Everything!

Everything changes and evolves.

We will have time to adapt.

Every day of my life,

I can let moments of gentleness and happiness take hold inside.

Nothing is permanent.

Everything comes and everything goes.

We must take everything.

And we must let everything go.

Welcome each wave as though it was the last.

I feel good here.

I think my life is changing, Frank.

Yeah?

I'm changing paradigms fast. It's like a new world.

That's great.

We probably shouldn't jog in this smoky air.

You okay?

Me too. I don't speak French.

Does her husband know where she is?

What's she doing here anyway?

She can't go home for a bit.

She says she likes spending time with me.

What?

Dad!

She thinks I'm so, so great.

Jesus, you're weird.

Gobelet, come here.

What are you doing?

- Come down. - No.

Why are you here?

I was passing by. Come on, get down.

- Passing by? - Not really.

You didn't look so good back there, so I followed you.

Come on down, okay?

Dad, for once,

leave me alone.

Careful, it's slippery there.

Come down slowly.

Go away, Dad.

What do you want?

I want things to be easier.

It's too hard.

No, it's not.

You don't understand.

I went all the way, I really tried.

It's over.

You're not at the end, you're 45 years old!

You gotta live, Adam.

Even just to see the apocalypse with your own eyes.

Be part of the adventure, Adam.

And what's the deal with the moon? Is it the end of the world already?

No, it's the forest fires out west.

The smoke blocks the blue light.

We see the moon as red but it's an illusion.

It's not the end of the world.

See? It ain't over.

Come on.

You remind me of you mother so much.

I don't understand how you guys think.

I see what's going on with you, how much you struggle sometimes.

But I don't know what to do about it.

How did Mom die?

Not from cancer.

I'm coming down.

Easy, no sudden moves.

Come on.

I'm okay!

Jesus fucking Murphy.

Dad, I'm okay!

I knew it wasn't high enough.

You could've broken your legs, you nutjob!

Sure you're okay?

I'm coming!

You didn't hurt yourself?

We'll put ice on it at home.

Hey.

I like your eye. Been in a fight?

Stop it.

Why?

I'm in love, Romy.

Fuck, I told you not to get any ideas. -Not with you!

You mean that old lady from the other day?

She's not old.

Ew!

I'm being rejected by a neurodivergent in his forties?

- Where are you going? - I quit!

You're obviously problematic and I hate it here anyway.

- But why? - Shut up!

- Hi Kathleen. - Hello Adam.

- What's up? - I'm sure you have some idea.

Romy filed a complaint?

Romy Latreille? What for?

Harassment?

Sexual harassment?

You? No, she hasn't filed a complaint.

The drug bust in Ontario?

Not that either, Adam.

It's René, he's waiving his right to sue for mischief

but wants $400 in compensation for damage to his SUV

and your written promise not to do it again.

It wasn't me.

- There are witnesses. - Who?

Everyone.

Thanks, Kathleen.

Have a good day.

It's very good Frank, thanks.

Eat some more.

I'd freak out if you died.

It would destabilize everything.

I'd lose it.

I left Gobelet at your place.

Sorry.

Taylor seemed to get along with him really well.

I hope everything's okay.

How's Rose?

I hope she's doing well.

She's very smart.

You must be proud to be her mom.

I'll have to tell you about my mom.

The wise will see the present as an incredible chance

to rise up and understand.

They will let go of mental disorder

to rediscover the meaning of lifeand the order of the world,

eternal and joyful.

If I learned that the world would end tomorrow,

I'd still want to plant an apple tree today.

Pick up, Dad, pick up!

EMERGENCY WEATHER ALERT

I'm here, dogs!

We'll be alright, dogs!

I'm sorry for everything.

It's our fault.

There's nothing else I can do for you.

It's our fault!

- Hello? - Is this Adam ?

Hey, Denis! Glad to speak with someone. What's happening?

I won't keep you, I just wanted to tell you that

the company won't cover natural disasters.

Okay. But are you home?

Do we have to go somewhere?

My dad's not answering and I'm scared.

I really can't help you.

We're doing our best.

Denis?

Denis!

Outta my way, dogs!

Dive into yourself.

Turn slowly towards living in the present moment:

the pleasant, harmonious experiencethat you are living and feeling,

here and now.

What's happening inside you right now?

I become aware of my breath,

of how my breath flows through meand soothes me.

As though, with every breath,

I'm breathing in well-being.

Return to reality.

Dad?

Okay dogs,

if it collapses or catches fire, save yourselves!

Take a deep breath.

Close your eyes.

Dive into yourself.

Breathe in gently, slowly.

Then breathe out gently, slowly.

I become aware of my breath.

I observe the movement of air coming into my body,

leaving my body.

Each movement of my breath leaves me a bit more at peace,

a bit more relaxed.

I become aware of my entire body

as it is in this moment, full of confidence and energy.

I become aware of the sounds that come to me,

of the peaceful way that I welcome them.

I become aware of all that.

I allow all of these feelings of well-being and happiness

to seep down into the deepest parts of me.

I become aware of my moods.

Lightness.

Serenity.

Confidence.

Harmony.

Of their movement within my consciousness.

The thoughts and images that may come with them.

I make myself present, intensely present, to all of that.

I give as much space as possible to all of those feelings.

I breathe into them,

let them flow through my body, let them nourish my soul.

I give myself up to this fullness.

I need nothing now, only to exist.

Second after second,

I feel these pleasant sensations flow through my body.

I feel their energy, soft and strong at once.

A piece of sky.

A bird's song.

A light.

A music.

A leaf blowing in the wind.

I see them and enjoy them.

And I'll simply tell myself

that no matter what has happened

and no matter what will happen,

this moment is one of happiness.

This moment is one of happiness.
