The movie you are about to watch was filmed under a lucky star.

HELLO, HOW ARE YOU?

NOT VERY WELL THE QUANTITY IS DOWN

THEY'RE BARELY LAYING ANY EGGS

HOW MUCH DO YOU HAVE?

44.80 KILOS OF FLOUR

HOW MUCH ARE THEY DRINKING?

FIVE LITERS

GIVE THEM MORE WATER AND INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF FRESH GRASS

-Mom? -Yes?

It's 8:43. Are you taking me to soccer?

Laura!

-Laura? -What?

Take your brother to practice or he'll be late.

-Come on, Mom. It's Saturday. -Well, I'm in the lab.

Briand is coming by later, and I'm not finished.

-She's not even busy. -Laura!

Can't you go any faster?

-They've started without me. -Yeah, I'm coming.

In, out, keep the ball close. Control the ball.

Come right back. Great job.

Look straight ahead and to the sides.

Try to visualize the field.

-Classical music works for locusts? -I don't know.

-You doing okay? -Yeah.

-Want something to drink? -No, I'm good. Thanks.

I just grilled some. Want to taste it?

-This one? -Yeah.

Here we go.

-Ginger. -Close.

Ginger and paprika.

It's pretty good, huh?

I can do other flavors too.

What's that? Jelly?

Yeah. They drown if I don't remove all the moisture.

Same for drinking, so I give them jelly.

How many do you have?

Four so far.

What?

Is there a problem?

You've been promising me more for six months now.

Really?

I said that?

Why not tell me over the phone?

I can't work with so little.

Give me a discount or I won't buy it.

Did Briand come by?

Yeah.

-And? -And?

He didn't take any. He needs more.

What are you going to do?

I don't know.

Don't tell your brother.

Can you finish on your own?

Yeah.

I was wondering if you could

maybe lend me some more money. Until the end of the month.

Yeah, sure. Of course. How much do you need?

I don't know. Not much.

-Five hundred, if that's possible. -Yeah, no problem.

-You don't want more? -No. I'll manage.

Can you keep this to yourself?

-Don't worry. I'll keep my mouth shut. -Thank you.

Right.

-Bye. -Bye.

-Hey, Pascal. How are you? -I'm great.

Great. Listen.

Yeah, doing really great.

Listen, I'm actually calling to see

if you perhaps have any colleagues looking to buy flour.

Depends. What kind of flour?

Locusts.

Exactly. High protein and all. It's a great product.

What's the going price?

How much?

Man, that's pretty low.

You wouldn't know anyone who…

Great, that's awesome.

Thanks a lot.

-Can you turn it on, please? -Sure.

-Gaston! -Yeah?

Turn the lights off.

-In Laura's room too? -Yeah.

I don't want to overload the meter.

-Did you close the door? -Yes.

You didn't tell me about the game.

-He still has that thing with his lung. -Still?

The coach asked me about soccer camp again.

What should I tell him?

-I have to think about it. -Okay.

-Are you hungry? -Sort of.

I can make pasta.

Yeah, as usual.

Hi, everyone. I'm back with a new video.

This time, I'm going to taste

a locust pancake.

One yummy locust pancake!

-Nice and crunchy. -It looks really tasty.

Well, I think we can all thank Laura's mom.

-Thanks, Mama Chirp! -Thanks, Mama Chirp!

There!

Fuck, it's gross!

The site will be translated into various languages.

If I can increase mail orders,

we can stop selling in stores.

Here, give me the box, please.

Can you put those in the car?

-Yes, sir. -Laura.

-Don't use that tone with me. -I said, "Okay, sure."

-Okay. -Okay.

What are you doing about this week?

I don't know. I'll take the bus.

The hoppers ate it all up.

Damn it, Gaston. Enough with the gross stuff.

Why didn't you leave that wart alone?

Is anyone coming with me?

Okay. Gaston, can you close the trunk, please?

Thanks.

I’ll be back in five minutes.

I'm starving.

Laura?

Isn't it that asshole over there?

-Hey, Chirp! -Hey, asshole.

"Asshole," classy.

-What's the matter? -What's the matter?

Why are you here busting our balls?

-Your video is busting my balls. -Is that so?

The video pissed her off. You didn't like the locusts?

I was just messing around, that's all.

She shouldn't be mad.

Anyway, everybody knows.

It's been rough since your mom went off the rails.

What's that supposed to mean?

With your father dying surrounded by his goats.

-You fucking asshole! -Hey, cool it.

-Laura, stop! -Cut it out. Come on, cool it.

Laura!

Get off me!

-Get off me! -Laura!

-Kevin, stop it! Let's go. -Laura!

-Move it! -Cut it out!

-Cut it out! -I'm not scared of you!

Look at her. She's crazy.

-I will kill him! -Stop.

If you touch her again, you'll deal with me!

Just take care of her.

-It's bleeding a lot. -You all right?

I cut my knee.

-What happened? -He said some stuff about Dad.

Laura!

-Come on. What's that? -A tourniquet.

-Do you want me to carry you? -I'm all right.

Come on, let's go. Let's clean that wound.

Shit, it's fucking cold!

I'm tired of those crappy solar panels!

-Give it a rest, will you? -Aren't you tired of them?

Aren't you tired of leaving your stuff on the floor?

I'm living in a fucking madhouse!

It stinks, it's filthy, and I can't even take a shower!

Look how filthy it is! It's all over the place!

-Don't you think you're going overboard? -No, I'm not!

I'm sick of being a laughingstock around here!

At least the goats never made us look like freaks.

When you calm down, I'll see you in the kitchen.

Six hundred and fifty?

No.

No way. Are you kidding?

I can get a higher price from the store.

I can't go any lower than 950.

No, 800 won't do. I can't go any lower. I have a family to feed.

I'll think about it. I'll call you. I'm expecting other offers.

Right, perfect.

I'll get back to you. Thanks.

I brought you some ice. It should help, right?

Show me.

He didn't go easy on you.

What a jerk.

Keep it on for ten minutes. It'll feel better.

I'll leave it here.

I think I found a buyer for the 40 kilos.

-Who? -Well, I don't know him.

He'll take all of it.

How much is he paying?

Not what I wanted.

If I sold everything in the lab, I could do something else.

We could start over.

Right?

Yeah.

-Here? -Somewhere else?

Someplace where the three of us would be happy.

Any ideas?

You can tell me later.

We'll find a place.

Yeah.

-I have to call Karim about the power. -Mom!

-The power's out again! -It's all right. I'll be right there!

I was in the middle of a game!

-I'll be right back. -Right.

-Mom! -I'm coming!

Gaston, are you paying attention?

-Let's go. -No.

Hold on. She peed on the couch.

-Oh, no! -Gross!

Seriously, I promise.

Get her down.

-Come on, Huguette. -Get down.

Give her some chips. Here, Huguette. Come on.

She loves me. Yes, she does!

-Black! And red! -No.

Where are you going?

-I'll be right back. -I won!

Write it down in the book, please.

-No. Let me! -Stop!

Forget that moron.

Laura.

-What's up? -How's it going?

You want his number?

-What for? -Then why are you here?

I'll be gone in a month.

-So? -So?

I'll no longer see your ugly faces.

If you need ideas, they eat pancakes in Brittany.

-You don't like it? -It's a bit thin.

Can you make it any thicker?

-Yeah, I can. -I have a batch of ducklings coming in.

I mean, I'll manage.

Who do I make it out to?

-What? -Who do I make the check out to?

-I don't take checks. -Well, you didn't tell me.

Sorry, that doesn't work for me.

I can wire the money through the cooperative.

Fine, a check then.

So…

Hebrard.

Hebrard. H-E-B-R-A-R-D.

You know, if it hadn't been for your pal, I never would've bought this.

Excuse me?

If it hadn't been for him, I wouldn't have bought this.

I heard you, but I don't understand.

Well, I'm paying 200.

He's paying the rest.

-Who? -Your friend.

The winemaker.

Two hundred for all of this?

I only feed ducks, ma'am.

-Two hundred for all of this is-- -Yeah, well.

It's pretty cheap!

What is she doing? Hey!

-Are you crazy? -Yeah!

-I'm taking it back. -What's wrong with you?

-I'm not selling you squat! -Get out!

-Yeah, beat it. -Whatever.

It's worth more than 200!

Come on, Gaston, hurry up.

Come on, scrub!

-Wait. -Wash it again. It's dirty.

-No, it's not. -You missed a spot. It's gross.

Come on. He's fucking stupid.

He's a moron. See how he does the dishes.

Mom, she called me a moron!

What?

-Are you okay? -Yes.

You don't look okay.

I'm fine. Do you want a hand?

Yeah.

Here.

At least you're smiling again.

-The snoop's in the yard. -Again?

Jacki!

I'll handle it. You can finish here.

-Okay. -Where are you, buddy?

Mr. Duvivier, are you looking for something?

I just came to get my old buddy.

It's the fourth time this month.

Goodbye.

Jacki!

Jacki!

Come here. Come on.

Here we go. Come on.

Why did you blow him off like that?

I just wanted to help.

I didn't ask for help.

You've been helping me for six months.

So, what's it to you?

I live alone. I eat frozen food.

Where would I be without you and Nico?

What did people say when I moved here?

"That nice brown boy, let's lease him some land."

What?

-You believed in this business? -Stop.

Come on, I really want to know.

There's more protein in 100 grams of locust than in 150 grams of meat.

Yeah, I know that.

Soon there'll be nothing to eat. You're all stupid not to see that.

You don't want to look after old folks anymore? Be a nurse?

I was a nurse's aide.

What happened to your arm?

Nothing. I just…

I burnt myself on the stove.

Well, I have to go.

See you soon.

Shit!

Gaston!

Hey, you almost forgot your sweater.

I put everything in here.

-French, social studies, English. -I don't have English today.

-Work on it during study hall. -No.

Mom, we have plenty of time.

Yeah, that's how you end up being late.

-No. -Yes.

-But… -Come on!

The bus will be here any minute.

-Are you done with the milk? -Yes.

Come on, Gaston. Let's go.

Have a good day.

-Yeah. -Yeah.

See you tonight.

-See you. -Yeah.

Mom? Where are you?

I'm upstairs.

What are you doing?

I'll be right there.

-Are you okay? -I'm fine, and you?

Yeah, I guess.

How come you're home so early?

I told you there was no game.

Oh, yeah.

-I'll wait for you down here then. -Yeah.

Well?

I think the minute's up.

The minute's up?

Yeah, all right. So?

Sixty-eight. Is that good?

Sixty-eight. That's very good.

-Are you sure? -Yeah. It's perfect.

You've got to get some sleep.

Come on.

-Good night. -Good night.

What's with the locusts tonight?

They're kind of like you.

They don't want to go to sleep.

Laura, get off the phone!

That's a lot of space, isn't it?

I have to separate the layers inside the dome from the rest.

I put them together at first, but it didn't work.

-Just a sec. Okay. -Okay?

Hold on.

Go.

Hold on.

Be careful.

Okay.

Thank you.

Scissors?

Take your pick.

Come on, pull!

Mom!

-Hey, is everything okay? -Yeah.

-Hi, Gaston. -Hi.

Wow, what is that?

Why don't you ask your mom?

What is it?

-We're scaling up. -Really?

-Why? -Looks like our locusts have perked up.

Oh, man! All right!

-Can I see them? -You want to?

Yes, please!

-Will you be okay? -Sure.

-Do you want to come? -No.

Come, I'll show you.

-You okay, Laura? -Yeah, fine.

-You don't look okay. -I'm fine.

No, I don't want you to go inside.

-Come on. -Why not?

Come here. You can't go in dressed like that.

Wow!

-Are they bigger than before? -Yeah.

Wow.

-How did you do it? -I gave them parsley.

-Parsley? -Yeah.

Well, it's working.

Don't go in there without me anymore, okay?

Okay.

-Can I put some in my vivarium? -Sure.

Thanks.

-Well, go get your box. -All right.

Laura.

Did you see that?

Cut it out, Gaston.

You saw that, right?

-What's the matter with you? -Why did you lie to me?

-Excuse me? -Why did you say we were leaving?

-We're leaving? -Well, not anymore.

-Where are we going? -We're not leaving.

-Look, we can't just up and leave. -Why not?

Because…

I have some debt to pay.

You can just sell the farm.

No! Why bring this up in front of your brother?

It would mean we failed.

No. It would mean you failed.

I don't give a shit about the farm, Mom!

-Yeah. -Yeah, this place reeks of death.

-You happy now? -Why the fuck are you doing this?

Why am I doing this? I'm doing it for you.

You have to eat, go to school, buy clothes--

You don't care about us! You don't know what we do all day!

-You don't know shit, so what-- -Shut up!

It’ll never work.

Can you just trust me for once?

Do you trust me?

Come on.

Laura.

Is something wrong?

Did you see the shoots?

They're tiny, look.

Shit!

We barely had any rain this year.

Your wine won't be as good?

No, it won't affect the quality, just the quantity.

-I have a buyer for all of it. -All of it?

That's great.

No, it's not great.

If he wants to lower the price next year,

I won't have options, no other markets.

No, it's not good .

-I'm going to a farmers' fair. -Yeah?

-Do you want a stand next to mine? -No.

Why? What are your plans?

I'll see about your duck farmer for a start.

-Yeah? -Yeah.

-What about the organic retailer? -I'm done with that.

-I'm only going to make animal feed. -It's hard work!

-It's a backbreaking job. -I'll manage.

You got what you need?

-Yeah. -You're gonna make it okay?

What about you?

If it doesn't rain, will you make it?

I don't have a choice.

Well, I'm almost done here.

Wait up?

I get up at five.

Me too.

Hello.

If you want foie gras, we're not open yet.

-The whole lot for 500. -All of it?

-How much is there? -A hundred and fifty kilos.

-Is it the same as before? -Better.

-Thicker? -Yes.

Next time, don't pack it in small bags.

It's a hassle for storage.

Use the 50-kilo bags instead.

Here. I only have 300.

Don't look so happy.

Hebrard, with a "D" at the end. Yeah.

Yeah.

Yes, that’s right.

Thirty liters, yeah. Thirty liters of blood.

Exactly.

I'm going to need it fast,

so I can also rent a refrigerated truck.

Okay, I'll be waiting. Thank you.

-Mrs. Hebrard? -Yeah?

Hello.

Hello.

-You ordered 30 liters? -Yes.

-Are those crickets? -Locusts.

-For? -I make flour.

-Flour? -Yes.

-And this is how you feed them? -Yes.

Laura?

Laura!

Laura!

I have to be done by the end of the day. Can you grill some?

I'll stop by the post office afterwards.

Do you want to come along?

If you want me to.

Huguette.

Easy.

Easy.

Fuck.

-Where's your mom? -Making deliveries.

What do you want?

Just checking in.

Why not call me?

You never pick up.

I went past the greenhouses earlier.

They're packed, huh?

You came to talk about that?

Well, I don't know. Doesn't it worry you?

They're screeching.

You're not leaving, are you?

-Beat it, Gaston. -How come?

Just beat it.

-Huguette. -I said move it!

All right!

What a pain.

Laura?

Cut it out.

Huguette!

Huguette!

No!

Mom!

Mom!

What's going on? What's the matter?

-The locusts. -What about them?

They attacked the truck. And Huguette is gone.

-Where did she go? -I don't know.

-Where is your sister? -I have no idea.

-We have to find Huguette. -Stay there!

Laura!

What?

What are you doing?

You, go home!

Go inside.

Look after your brother!

-Did you find her? -No.

-I couldn't find her. -Shit!

Gaston.

She can't have gone very far.

We'll look for her together.

Don't worry. She always comes back.

Did you tear up the greenhouse?

You never gave a damn about the goats.

Did you tear up my greenhouse?

Yes! I'm sick of them! How's that for an answer?

Go to your room. Now!

-Mom, stop! -Let go!

-Let go of me! -Let go!

-Stop! You're hurting me! -Mom!

Huguette!

Huguette!

Do you want to walk around?

Huguette!

Huguette!

Huguette!

How's it going?

Did you sleep well?

Is your brother up?

-I don't know. -I want the three of us to go on a picnic.

-Don't you have work to do? -Yeah.

But it's such a nice day. It'd be a shame not to enjoy it, right?

Can you wake up your brother after breakfast?

Pack your bathing suits.

-The lake is freezing. -We're not going to the lake.

Have you had enough to eat?

There's more food, Gaston.

No, thanks. I'm full.

-I ate too much. -Laura?

I'm good, thanks.

When is your soccer camp?

Next week.

-Do you still get a funny feeling here? -No.

Yes, he does.

No, I don't.

Why do you ask?

How about I call the coach and tell him you're going?

Yeah, awesome!

Wait, are you serious?

-Is your heart beating faster or what? -No.

I'm totally fine.

-For real? Oh man! -Yeah.

I'm going for a swim.

Hey, wet the back of your neck first.

-All right. Laura, are you coming? -In a minute.

Aren't you hot?

No.

There's a breeze.

Are you going in?

Yes, I am.

Are you coming too?

I'm not sure.

Hey, how about some donuts?

Sure, why not.

Hey, what's that scooter?

-Karim, hi. -Hey, Laura. How's it going?

-Fine, and you? -Pretty good.

Is that yours?

No, I don't think so.

There's a tag on the key.

"Scooter, Laura Hebrard."

-Ring a bell? -It sounds familiar.

-No way! -Congratulations!

Wow, thanks.

I just fixed it up a bit. You should really thank your mother.

-It's the one you wanted, right? -Yeah.

-Aren't you happy? Well, hop on! -Of course I am.

-Can I go for a ride? -Yeah.

-How does it work? -Let me push you.

One, two, three. Careful.

-Now? -Just go!

-Be careful. -Yeah, don't worry!

-Everything works fine? -Yeah.

So?

How is it?

I don't know, it's…

It's good. Yeah.

That's it?

What do you want me to say?

What do you mean, what do I want you to say?

Lots of things.

You could say, "This wine was clearly made by a decent guy.

He put a lot of heart into it.

And a lot of passion."

That's what wine is about.

It's a proposition that you make to people, to the world.

And when people like it, it makes me happy.

That's all. Don't you feel that way?

I do.

-Aren't you hot? -No, I'm cold.

It's chilly.

Stop. I'm sorry.

-I'm going home. -Okay.

I ordered 50 liters. Yeah.

Hebrard. H-E-B-R-A-R-D.

What do you mean, you can't do it?

I told you I can't find my license. What am I supposed to do?

Yes, I know the Farm Bureau. Thank you!

On the waiting list? What am I supposed to do?

You can't stop people from working like that!

Hello? Fuck! Fucking asshole!

Ma'am?

Excuse me.

We don't know where to put the second greenhouse.

Where should it go?

I have to be able to get my car through.

Set it up right there, behind the truck.

Wait, what about that tree?

Let's cut it down.

Mom, what are you doing?

-No, Mom. Stop. -Stay back, Gaston.

-No, it's Huguette's tree. -There are other trees.

-Please! -I don't want you to get hurt.

No, Mom. Stop!

We'll tie her up over there!

No! Cut down another tree.

Stop!

All right!

Shit!

I didn't believe when Marsiac said you were still expanding.

Why? Is it a problem?

Normally it's a good sign, but you're freaking them out.

No, I'll do it.

Am I bothering you?

Please call before coming over.

You just show up out of the blue.

Jacki?

Jacki!

Hey, Jacki!

Come here!

Mom?

What?

I can't find his soccer gear for camp.

Have you looked everywhere?

-What's that smell? -They're shedding their skin.

-Can I see? -Not right now. I'm busy.

Who's that?

The duck guy.

Father or son?

The dad, but he's not alone.

-Hey. -Hello.

-How's it going? -No time for lunch, but I'm fine.

-That's a good sign. -Hello.

-Hello. -Guillaume, a colleague from Brimont.

He came to help me load.

His farm runs about 1,200 head.

-Right? -Well, I'm not alone.

What do you say?

It's convenient, doesn't take up too much space.

-You said around 200 per greenhouse? -Yeah, 200, 250, but I can do more.

There's still space. I can add one more.

-And around the back? -That's where the lab is.

-Want to see it? -Sure.

And five shirts.

Okay.

Aren't you excited about camp?

I don't know.

It's gonna be great.

I don't want to leave.

You'd rather stay here?

Aren't you sick of it?

It's a good thing you're going.

Why?

Why?

What do I do about Gaston?

I'll meet you there.

-Gaston! -What?

Come on, we're gonna be late.

-Why isn't she picking up? -I don't know.

Grab your suitcase and get on the bus.

-Did she say she was coming? -Gaston.

-Did she? -No, Gaston. Please.

-She did, didn't she? -She's exhausted.

Come on, get your suitcase. Look, they're getting on.

-I don't want to go. -I'll look after mom. It's okay.

-No, I want to stay with you and mom. -Get on the bus.

Damn it! Stop being such a baby.

Mom!

Mom?

Mom?

Mom?

Laura.

Laura, can I come in?

SOMETHING'S WRONG WITH MOM

COME OVER

COME!

Virginie?

Virginie?

-Hi. -What are you doing here?

I texted you.

-You never answered. -I didn't get any texts.

You all right?

I've been on this for an hour. It's not working.

-Are you alone? Is Laura home? -I don't know.

Can you give me a hand? Hold this. I want to give it one last try.

-Well, is it working? -No.

It's jammed.

All right. Forget it.

I'll deal with it tomorrow.

I'll be right back.

Virginie!

What's going on here?

Hold on. I've got you.

-Let me sit you down. -Okay.

Right here, okay?

Fuck.

Wait, I got you. It's okay.

-There, take a deep breath. -I'm…

-I'm all right. It's okay. -You scared me.

-It's all right. -Listen.

Let's get something to eat, okay?

Laura!

Come down here, please!

Virginie, come.

Sit down.

This is my video projector.

It was the first thing I set up when I moved here.

Pretty sweet, huh?

You know what?

I have an idea.

We can watch a movie while we eat.

Hey.

I'm here.

Laura.

You know you can trust me.

Tell me what's going on.

The locusts.

What about them?

She can't go on like this.

What do you mean? What are you talking about

-I don't get it. -What's the big secret?

There's no secret, Virginie.

We're catching up.

What were you talking about?

Laura?

-What were you talking about? -You really want to know?

Look at your daughter!

Isn't it obvious?

Isn't it?

You need to tell me some things.

Tell me what's going on. This is ridiculous.

All right, enough.

Stay and talk to me!

No, Mom. I'm staying here!

She's not leaving. And take a good look at yourself!

You're a fucking mess!

Let's go.

-Stop! -Don't touch me!

This is disgusting.

Jacki?

Karim?

What is it?

Karim.

Karim!

Laura!

What did you tell him?

Laura, open the door!

Mom, stop!

Let me in. I just want to know what you told him.

-Stop! -What did you tell him?

-Mom. -Laura.

Mom!

Virginie!

Virginie, come on!

Come with me.

Let go of me!
