The Dream Life Of Angels

No one

Hello. Sorry to bother you. l'm looking for Alain Bagnon

He doesn't live here any more. He's left

But his van is outside

lt broke down and he just left it there. He's gone to Belgium

Belgium? Do you know where?

No. He went to work on a building site. They change all the time

Did he leave an address or keys to the house?

He left a month ago. Why, who are you?

l'm a friend of his

l can't tell you any more than that

Well, never mind. Goodbye

What language is that?

Yugoslav

l help foreigners

We make these little cards to earn a bit of money...

...to help foreigners coming to France

Pretty, aren't they? You can give one to your children. Do you have any?

Yes, l have a daughter

She's like you, same hair

She went to work in The States - Boston

l haven't seen her in ten years

She works for The United States

That's nice. What does she do?

She makes lots of clothes for the Americans

Clothes for the American army, uniforms

- For the police? - The police too. All uniforms

That can't be much fun

- How old are you? - 21 . Why?

- Where are you from? - A small place. Not Boston!

But l move around

Do you want to buy a card off me?

Listen. You don't have a job, right?

- No... Well, yes - l'll find you a real job

You like working... l'll find you a real job

Take this address. Come tomorrow at 8:00

What sort of work is it?

You know how to use a sewing machine?

- Sewing machines? - Yes. Good work for you

Here's the address. Come tomorrow at 8:00

OK. So it's working on sewing machines?

Sewing machines. You know how to sew?

Fine. Come tomorrow at 8:00 and we'll give it a go

Would you like to buy a card? Got no money?

- l've got nothing on me - Never mind

Hello, would you like to buy a card? lt's to help the elderly

lt's to help children. lt's for a good cause

That one's nice

Shit

PANCAKES

Sit up straight. Gently. Watch what you're doing

- That one's no good - Of course it's no good

That's the wrong way round. Here

Sit up straight

- Can you sew? - The machine's a bit fast

Let's see then. Straight. Gently. Right up to the plate

- l'll get the hang of it - Don't pull on the cloth. Go on

There. Cut the thread. Pull it!

Be careful

Shit

Christ

- Do we bring our own lunch? - Didn't you bring anything?

What are you going to do? Can we sort her out with something?

Grab a plate

Take a big one

- Can l sit here? - Yes, of course

Ham and rice. l'm having a cold lunch

Otherwise l get hot flushes at work

- Enjoy your meal - Thanks

Getting to know your way round?

Hi. Go ahead. Don't mind me

- Are these the toilets? - They're out of order

The ones that work are on the other side

What time do we have to get back to work?

At 1 :00. You can hear the machines starting up again

They're great machines

l said l knew how to use them, but actually...

How many do you make a day?

- A thousand - A thousand? Shit

Have you been sewing for a long time?

- Two weeks - Did you know how to sew before?

No, l'm not a dressmaker. l'm just doing it for the time being

You learn fast? l don't know if l will

They're not computers, just sewing machines

Can l have a drag?

What did you do before?

- l was working - What, sewing?

Yeah, for Chanel

No, l was a waitress at The Dukes

- What's The Dukes? - lt's a big hotel in town

Didn't you like being a waitress?

The boss got to me in no time

He treated us all like shit, just because he was the boss

l punched him in the face. He didn't see it coming

He had blood everywhere. He won't forget me in a rush!

What had he done to you?

Then l went back and scratched his car

He was furious, not just with his stitched up face...

...but his scratched car as well

l'm only sticking around long enough to get some cash together

l don't think l'll be sticking around for long either

We'd better go

- Bye - See you tomorrow

Could l get an advance, please?

Not now, next week

- But tomorrow... - You haven't worked enough

- But l'll do loads... - Next week

Do you know anywhere cheap to stay round here?

l don't know. l don't live round here

l froze my arse off last night

Any chance l could stay at yours tonight?

l was relying on a mate to put me up...

...but he's not around. l don't know anyone else in Lille

- lf you've got nowhere to go - Great, that's kind of you

lt's great here!

Cool

lt looks big. Can l have a look round?

You can sleep on the sofa

Great, thanks

l'll sleep here with the TV. That TV is funny

This place is huge!

lt's great. Do you live on your own?

- Yeah - Wow

- What are you making? Can l help? - No. Hungry?

Help yourself from the fridge

l'm going out later. l don't like staying at home in the evening

l said l'd never used a machine but it's not true

l did an apprenticeship when l was 1 6. But l didn't stay on

l thought as much!

And the flat's not mine. lt belongs to a mother and daughter

They're in hospital. l'm looking after the place for free

- What happened? - They were in a car accident

- Have you always lived in Lille? - l was born in the suburbs

You never moved away?

Once l've got some money together l'm going to split

l don't like the grey and the cold here. lt's ugly

- Want to go to a gig? lt's half price - Where?

At The Plaza. 80 francs a ticket, 1 60 for two

Half price, my arse! We're skint anyway

How much do you have? 1 00 for two then

l said we're skint. We don't want your tickets. OK?

Where is it? ls it far?

- Let's try to get in - How do reckon we'll get in?

We'll come back if we can't

We'd like to get in, but we're skint. Will you let us in?

- You think money grows on trees? - l know but it's half way through

Are you cool to let us in? Shall l move the barrier?

Leave it. l said leave the barrier where it is

- Got it? - l was asking for your permission

Do you think l'm after a fight with you?

Fredo, you can deal with this

You've got no money and want to get in?

Well, you can't

The guys playing the music have worked hard

They've come far and have to be paid

- We'd like to see them - Same for the guys hiring the venue

- Nothing's for free - Do you pay them?

No, l don't. There are the technicians too

We're just talking two girls. Who's going to notice?

l will. And you're interrupting me

l'm not. We're just talking

- What's your problem? - Say yes or no

What's it to you anyway? You're not the boss

The brunette, you can go in, but not the other one

- Got it? - l'm not going in on my own

- We're together, so forget it - Bastards!

- What did you say? - Let's get out of here

Want a fight, fat arse?

Marie, get up. We've got to get a move on

What's this supposed to be?

- How many have you done like this? - Loads

What? See what you've done!

How many have you done like this?

- These are useless! - What's wrong with them?

We don't need girls like you. Get your things and leave

Tell me what's wrong with them

- l don't get it - Get out

- Stop! - Get your coat and leave!

- Enough - The sleeves are all inside out

What's this? They're all inside out!

You're taking up a machine and doing hardly anything

Plenty others could do your job

- Stop using the machine - OK, l'm going

- Leave. You're losing us money - To hell with this job

Well, l'm not going back

Come on. lt's a job

Look at how they treat us. ''Shut up and sew!''

You can stay in the flat. At least you're not out on the street

Do you have any money saved up?

When l need money, l sell these cards. Have a look

l make them myself. l sell them for 1 0 or 20 francs. lt depends

- You stop people in the street - You tell them any old story

- l'll give you some. Try it - No way. l'm not a beggar

- lt's humiliating - No, it's not

- And when people chuck them? - So what?

Fredo, look. lt's those two cheapskates from last night

- No one said you could sit there - l'll sit where l like where there's room

Since we're here now, which one of you called me ''fat'' last night?

- Fat? - Yes, that's what l heard

lt wasn't me

- Hi, Fredo - Hi, Luis

So, what about Manu?

l don't want to hear another word about Manu. Got that?

What are you up to tonight, then?

Can we work at your gigs? We'd be up for it

Hear that? And what could you do?

We could take care of the singers

- What do the girls do at gigs? - There are no girls

lt's quite simple. You drink the wine, load the trucks...

...and screw anything that moves!

You should know what you're letting yourself in for

- Have you ever been in the shit? - Me?

So did you screw your mate to get your job?

You're lucky you're just a chick

Don't take that tone with Fredo. He'll do you in

- He's not taking that tone with her? - She's the one twisting everything

l never said l wanted to screw you

Who are you anyway? Just a bouncer. You're not going to get us a job

We'll leave you to it and see how you end up in 1 5 years!

- Do you think we need you? - Don't try getting into any gigs

You two are barred. Got it?

Think you're in charge of everything, don't you?

You're sitting at our table. Piss off!

- Come on - We're cool

You want a fight? Are you going to keep laying into me?

- We're not having a go - We're going, OK?

We've been acting like idiots and not introduced ourselves

- Charly - Marie

- Charly - lsa

- Fredo - His name is Fredo

- Can l come in? - Yeah

- l've made breakfast - Cool

Shall l put it there?

- What time is it? - 1 2:00

Shit! Have you eaten?

- No - Sit yourself down

- Shall we open the curtains a bit? - Yeah

l'd been working there for a week. He didn't seem that interested in me

One day, when he least expected, l took my chance

He was having a nap, and bam!

lt was a house l was doing up in the south

He lived there with his mother. She was a painter

Her work was great

By the end l was practically living with them

Then we finished the job

During the last few days, l didn't know whether to talk to him

l didn't know if he wanted me to stay or if he wanted it to just end

We'd never talked about our feelings so it wasn't that simple

On the last day, we were packing up with the mason

l didn't know what to do. And the fool never said anything

l said goodbye to him as with everyone else

l walked up to the van

With each step l prayed that he'd stop me

He let me get into the van And that was it

But l kept wishing l'd talked to him

- But that wasn't up to you - You wouldn't have talked to him

- Look at how it turned out - lt's not your fault

lf he wanted to carry on he would have

Maybe he was worried that l'd intrude in his life

lf l'd had my own place, things might have been different

You were available and he slept with you. A girl on the road is practical

But maybe he was hoping l'd turn back with each step. l'll never know

You're torturing yourself over nothing. You dream a lot

- Are you with a guy? - No

- Do you not like the bouncer? - No way

You were in his bed. l never thought you'd sleep with him

l didn't sleep with him

We carried on drinking. You fell asleep

- What about Fredo? He likes you - No thanks!

l don't like him. He freaks me out. He's weird

Charly said they don't just do gigs

They're also bouncers at a nightclub called Blue

He gave me his number but l'm not calling him

l'm not the kind to get attached to guys. They get on my nerves in no time

- Are you not answering? - lt will be for them anyway

- Did you visit them in hospital? - l don't know them

l got the flat through my aunt. They're in a coma in any case

- Both of them? - Yeah, l think so

Have you settled in? You can move her stuff out of the way

Won't it be awkward if she comes back?

We'll see

We'll say l'm your cousin from Brittany and you're putting me up!

RECORD OF GRADES

l begin writing this diary on a sunny day

As if looking in a mirror, to discover myself

Overwhelming feelings are stirring inside me

l can feel my pulse beating

l am confused and restless. Something is lacking, a desire

l don't quite know what it is

l'm on the edge of a void. l feel a crazed desire to jump right in

What are you doing, for Christ's sake?

That's not a pancake...

Classy!

lt's not a sword fight!

A bit higher. Practise. Let's see

Do you like them?

The painter gave them to me when l left

l never expected her to

Take one

- l can't. lt was a present to you - No, really. l'd like you to have one

Choose one. lt's yours

- This one - lt's yours

Thanks

We'll find you someone with a car and we'll go for a long ride

Let's have a drink anyway

So...

So, a guy for you... He's too old

Marie, wait

He's really hot

- What about him? - He's so good-looking!

Hello. l need to talk to you

Sorry to bother you. l have a message for you from my friend, Marie

She's had her eye on you for a while but she's too shy to talk to you

She knows all about you - you're a great guy, you've got money...

But she's shy. She's from a more modest background than you

She wants to know if class is an issue for you

- Or is it love that really counts? - Sorry, l don't have time

Her name's Marie. She's pretty. lt's like in fairytales

Look how he walks!

Let's follow him! Come on, run!

- Hey, wait! - l have something to tell you

Open the window, please!

We're looking for a chauffeur for the afternoon

- Sorry, it's my day off - Just a little ride, we don't have a car

- l've just cleaned my car - How old are you?

Have you got your licence?

- Hi, Charly. Hi, Fredo - Hi, girls

- You're outside tonight? - Got chucked out?

- lt's not too cold? - No, we're used to it

- Found a job yet? - We're following up a couple of things

lf you're after a job, The Hollywood is looking for girls

- What? - The Hollywood

Do you know The Hollywood?

lt's a club and restaurant in the shopping centre. Do you know it?

They'll take us on as waitresses?

ls that not good enough for you?

- Watch out - Out of the way. Let us do our job

- Agnes, have you got my bag? - Go in

- How many? - Six

OK, l get it

- You separate the wheat from the chaff - That's right

- Will you let us in? - How much is it to get in?

That would mean leaving us outside and that wouldn't be nice, would it?

lf you didn't know me, would you let me in?

Not dressed like that. lf your friend grew her hair...

...you did your hair, put some make-up on and a dress...

...to look more lady-like...

What kind of job is this? Judge people by appearances?

lf you're going in, then go in

ln that stuck up joint? l wouldn't been seen dead in there

The boss is here

Shit, it's the guy whose lights l smashed

Hi, Fredo. Hi, Charly. Everything fine?

Yeah, fine. See you later

- ls he the boss? - Yes, that's him

- Some get a good start in life - He's young

- Yes, he's young - How did he get to be the boss?

Easy. He was born into it

See The Grande Brassserie over there? His dad owns that

Listen, we're free on Thursday. Want to hook up?

- We don't know what we're up to yet - You don't know

- We'll call you - Yeah, like last time

- See you, guys. Good night - Yeah, good night

And stay where it's well-lit

- ls Marie in? - Yes, she is

- l'm her mother - Hello

Come in

l'll go and get her

Your mum's here to see you

- Why are you here? - l was in Lille

l called this morning but no one answered. Hello, anyway

l wanted to see how you're settling in

lt's like any flat. lt's fine

Shall we have a drink in the cafe just opposite?

Wait

lsa, l'm just going for a drink with my mum

l came alone as he can't get about easily

Sure. Let's go

- Why don't we have lunch together? - OK

Remi... l love you

Does Remi know how to say ''l love you''?

Remi has blue eyes and white legs

He has a scrawny neck...

...ears like cabbages, and a dick shaped like...

l woke up, sure that something would happen

l waited all day. Nothing. Excitement

l'm sure she'll bring him here to fuck

l'm sure l'll hear her say again, ''Quiet, Sandrine's asleep''

lt pisses me off, seeing my mother with a guy like that

A butcher's knife under the mattress will stop him getting it up

- Hello - l'm here to see Sandrine Val

- Which department is she in? - She's in a coma

Neurology. Professor De Lacour's department

Take the lift to the second floor, corridor B and ask for the nurses' office

She's not conscious which means she's not communicating

She can't talk or move. She won't answer you

We're watching closely for signs of her waking up or any improvement

When you see her, if the sound of your voice...

...or anything else triggers off a sign...

...please come and see me or one of the nurses

lt's very important

Her mother died a few days after the accident

- Excuse me, Doctor - l'll be right back

Hello, Sandrine. You've been eating well again today

That's good. Having visits seems to give you an appetite

l'll make you comfortable. There you are

You'll catch a cold like that. Her fingertips are always freezing!

She still has a slight temperature

- Are you a relative? - No

- One of her friends? - Yes

Do you know what l just did? l gave my mother 1 ,000 francs

l'm the one who's skint and l have to give her money

All because she's with a jerk

- Your father? - Yes

She says he wants to see me now

- Has it been long? - Four years, since l left

Your mum seems nice

No, she's a victim. lt's not the same thing

Did you notice how she never looks you in the eye?

Do you still see your folks?

l see my mum when l can and l write to her. We get on well

- What does she do? - She works in a shoe factory in Valence

- And your dad? - They were only together a year

My dad settled with another woman. They've got kids

l stayed with them for a bit but it was better with my mum

You're lucky your parents separated. Mine didn't

Maybe he's changed if he wants to see you now

My dad's a raving lunatic. People don't change

He's sick so he's calmed down

What did you do today?

l went to see Sandrine in hospital

Her mother's dead. She's in a coma. She's got burns

They don't know how long the coma might last

She may be like that all her life and grow old in her bed

- l'm going to visit her now and again - What for?

No one seems to be visiting her. lt might help her

Shit. lf her mother's dead, that means we'll get thrown out

Those who've just arrived, fill in the form and attach your photo

Think of your favourite star -

Lauren Bacall, Marlene Dietrich, Greta Garbo...

lf you've been a waitress before, say where and for how long

You're both in the photo. How do we know who's who?

You're both in the photo. Who's lsabelle Tostin?

l'm lsabelle Tostin

You worked at The Dukes, like Marie Thomas. ls that you?

- Yeah - lnseparable like a couple of lovebirds

Does the idea of working at The Hollywood make you feel like stars?

Yeah, it really does

Who's your favourite star, lsabelle?

Madonna

Can you do anything in the style of Madonna?

Like something from a concert?

- Or something off the TV? - OK

Or ''Like A Virgin''

OK, that's great

Marie, who's your favourite star?

No one. l just came along with my friend

You don't have a favourite star?

You do. Lauren Bacall

- She doesn't know me that well - You said Lauren Bacall

OK, Lauren Bacall

That's Lauren Bacall

You're not very affectionate, are you?

- No - Well, l am

Well, you've had me. You should be happy

Why do you say it like that? You've had me too

- Well, no - What do you mean, no?

l don't fancy you

So, you sleep with a guy you don't fancy? ls that it?

- You just screw, right? - l guess so

With everyone?

l didn't expect to find myself in bed with you

l didn't see myself with a fat guy like you!

Big or fat. l don't see myself as fat

lt's how you express it

You all right?

Yes! What about you? You weren't flattened?

Did you sleep with Fredo?

He really fancies you

- Shall we go? - Are we going on your motorbike?

Shit, my scarf

What are you doing? Hurry up. We're late

- Want to meet tomorrow? - l don't want to take things too fast

Can you look me in the eyes and say that?

- Are you OK for money? - l'm fine

Take this

- He just gave me 200 francs - Cool!

Hello. Can you wait outside for a moment?

l won't be long. Just wait outside. Thank you

Follow my finger to the left

You've done really well today. Excellent

Follow my finger again. Go on

Go on. Keep going

That's great. Well done

And again. Follow my finger to the left

lt's OK, you can stay there

You can talk to her. She'd like that

She's sleeping, but she can hear you

1 0th January

You've been in hospital...

...in a room...

...for a month

Your mother is dead

My name is lsabelle

l'm 21 years old and l'm staying in your home

l have a friend, Marie

Do you have the receipt for your jacket?

l wouldn't do that if l were you

You'll have to pay for it

Do you have the money to pay for it? Take if off and come with us

l'll pay for it. l know her

- You're going to pay? - That's what l said

- 1 ,000 francs - Only?!

l don't want it anyway

- You steal clothes - Where do l pay, please?

Follow me, sir

You're not the grateful kind

l don't have the money to pay you back

And what do you do when you're not shoplifting?

- l work - Really? What do you do?

lt depends. lt varies

- Do you live on your own? - Meaning?

- Do you have a fiancee? - That's none of your business

l own a club on Place Carnot. Blue

- Do you know it? - No

Place Carnot

l'd like to see you again

l'm not interested

lf l'm not at Blue in the afternoon, l'll be at The Grande Brasserie.

Drop by tomorrow afternoon. l'll buy you a drink

- l said l'm not interested - Pity

This is the last time you'll see me

Who do you think you are?

l don't think you understand. Let me explain

Are you crazy?

l just wanted to see

- Well, you've seen now - Christ

- l could do the same thing - Go on, try it

l'll take you home. Where do you live?

lt's worth 1 ,000 francs

- You've forgotten something - l said l don't want it

No problem. One of my staff can have it

You can look round and then we're quits

This is lsa, and l don't know what he's called

Go on, have a look round

That's the bedroom. lt's private

- He's got a cheek - What's he doing here?

l met him in a bar. He got me a drink and wanted to see the flat

He said nothing about the lights? Didn't he recognise you?

What do you think then? You were expecting a dump, right?

There's a bathroom and a kitchen, too.

l've made a chicken curry. Does he want to eat with us?

l'd prefer a restaurant. l'll treat you

You've got money to burn

lt's both us or neither of us

lf you change you mind come to Blue or The Grande Brasserie, Place Carnot

Didn't they teach you to close the door behind you? Little rich kid!

Arsehole!

We're going on tour for a fortnight

- When? - This Thursday

- Can we come? - lt's work. We can't take anyone

But when l come back, l'll have a job for you

- At the gigs? - Yeah

ln the meantime take this

- Thanks - Half is for lsa from Fredo

- He doesn't dare tell her - She doesn't fancy him

That's their problem. They can sort it out

4th January First visit to see Sandrine

What are you doing?

Nothing. l'm just drawing

l'm sick of it here. Shall we go out?

We're fine here

l'll be with you right away

So it's your turn to come and see my place?

- l'm just looking - Do you like it?

lt's OK. Well, it's just a bar

l can't stay here. l've got stuff to do. What are you up to?

l don't know

- Come with me - Where?

lnto town. We can go for a wander

Coming?

- Hello. A room, please - No problem

ls it just for one night? Room 302

We'll take you up to your room

Hello, sir

Miss

Come on. This is starting to look awkward

''The grass which was wet

''because it often rained

''The trees, so old and tall

''The sound of the invisible river beneath the bramble bushes

''The black crows

''Their yellow beaks

''The bracing air stinging our cheeks''

''1 8th February. The sun is here at last

''School trip to Honfleur

''We all went together

''l felt completely at one with the others

''l was Lau, Marc and Remi

''Maybe it was the strong wind on the beach that brought us together

''l sat next to Remi in the bus

''l fell asleep and when l woke up, my head was resting on his shoulders

''He was asleep too''

Jesus, you scared me

- What are you doing in the dark? - Nothing, l just got in

- What time is it? - lt's 1 1 :00

Charly called for you. He said he'd call back

Sounds like their tour's going well

What have you been doing?

Not much. Just hanging around

l'm tired. l'm going to bed

l wonder if she can hear anything

l wonder if she understands what we're saying to her

l tried something yesterday

l found her diary on her desk

l read it to her. Maybe she can hear me

W
