Hi.

Hey, how are you?

I'm good.

Hey, Flavie.

I'll see you later.

- Hi. - Hi.

I looked for you at the party on Saturday.

I sucked.

You didn't lose anything.

The music sucked.

By midnight, there wasn't a drop of champagne left.

That's over with martinis, you can imagine.

How's Flavie?

How are you?

I'm asking if you're okay.

Yes.

You look pale all of a sudden.

Do I?

I don't know what's wrong with me.

It's true that I don't feel very well lately.

I think I'm having trouble getting back on track

since my grandfather died.

It's normal. You were so close.

You're right, it must be normal.

Well, go ahead.

Add a layer of foundation and blow out the blush.

Flavie.

There's been a change in guest placement.

We had a problem with the decor.

It fell on Coco the cameraman camera three.

We had a problem with the set.

Coco, the camera operator three.

So we start...

Hold on, hold on. I forgot something in my dressing room. I'll be right back.

We're waiting for you to set up?

Flavie, wake up.

Hey, are you okay?

I must have had a hypoglycemic reaction.

I used to get them all the time when I was a kid.

Do you want me to call a doctor?

No. I just needed to get some air for a few minutes.

I've been looking for you for half an hour.

The show's about to start.

OKAY.

Good morning, everyone.

Today, on our set, we have the pleasure of welcoming

Stéphane Dupré, sociologist, media specialist.

Yes. How are you, darling? It's Mom.

It's good to hear from you.

How are you? How are things at dad's?

It's great! Yeah, me too, great. It's going well.

I don't know, maybe. Maybe it is. Yeah, tomorrow? OKAY.

Yeah, let's do that. Kiss my love.

Lots of kisses. See you tomorrow.

Hello Bertrand. Are you still at the office?

You have to come, please. Quickly. It's not going well at all.

Good evening.

What are you doing here? You couldn't wait for me at home?

I felt so bad. I had to get out.

What's going on?

I don't know what's going on. I just don't get it.

I've been having these kind of seizures for a few weeks, but this is worse.

My heart is beating too fast.

It's hard to breathe. I have pain in my chest.

Do you think I could be having a heart attack?

Your heart is beating a little fast, but your lips aren't blue.

And you don't have pain in your left arm?

I have pain everywhere.

I think you're having a panic attack.

Do you know where that comes from?

Hello, I would like to make an appointment with Dr. Dufour, please.

It feels like an elephant

has put its paw on my chest.

Take some St. John's wort and magnesium, it will relax you.

Hard to describe, sometimes, I feel like

Have you thought about doing a black radish cure?

a ball with little butterflies of anxiety in my sternum.

I can't sleep at all.

The X-rays are formal. You have a mismatch between the two hips.

I drag myself.

Anyway, that's it. I've tried everything.

Medically, I'm fine. All my tests are good.

Am I going crazy?

No.

How can you be sure?

Some experience with madness perhaps.

From what you're telling me, I'd say you've been going crazy

emotionally since your grandfather's death.

So in your opinion, is this normal?

I wouldn't say that, no.

And is there anything we can do?

Yes.

What?

We'll look, we'll find it.

And we're going to fix your emotional electric meter.

The electrician? That's right, I haven't tried that.

You know what they say about humor? That it's the politeness of despair.

For the next session, you can bring me pictures of you as a child.

Frankly, I don't really see what the point is.

Maybe to identify where your flashes are coming from.

At the beginning of the session, you told me that you only had

fleeting memories of your childhood.

Because I had a very normal childhood.

There's not much to remember.

Have you heard of traumatic amnesia?

No.

The human brain is amazing, you know. It protects you.

It can bury certain memories

when your psychic survival is in danger.

But these traumas are always there, well hidden in the depths.

They continue their work of invisible undermining.

Well, we will stop here for today.

Already?

Yes.

It's a shame you couldn't come with us to Cape Town.

It was so much fun.

Yeah, well, that's how it is when you're working, Gigi. We're not on vacation all year.

My poor Isabelle. You have to know how to rest once in a while.

But yes.

Hubert, I wasn't dreaming,

isn't that a new car that you have in the yard?

What is it? Is it a V8?

Yes, it's the new Jaguar.

I spotted a little straightaway on my way in, if you'd like.

I'd love to.

No, no, no, Pierrot. We said not today.

For once you don't go to soccer and stay with us for a while.

Then, you drank more.

One hardly boozed anything immediately the drama.

This poor Pierrot. He does nothing wrong.

I let him live. Oh là là.

Gislaine, you could not make a little less noise there.

I do not hear the race.

Come on, come on, come on, we stop! Gigi is right.

Anyway, we'll do this another time.

Yeah, whatever the wife wants.

Yeah, so, you were telling me vacation in Cape Town.

Yeah. We had an amazing time with Flavie. Right, babe?

No ? Tell your aunt.

But Patricia told me, you know.

Yes, it's true, she seemed to to feel the blow at the time.

Flavie, she really had a blast. Wait, I'll show you

It's a photo that may be worth a lot of money in a few years.

It's David Hamilton after all.

Have you seen these latest ads for perfume?

He takes his models to Tahiti. Right, Flavie?

This one, I don't know what she has since the beginning of the school year.

A third success at Vincennes. Vulcan will be second.

Coeur de tonnerre closes the march for this quinté here.

Mom, do you want to see the picture ?

It is so beautiful my little doll.

Do you remember when the horses to graze the head?

Papi, you tell me this story every time.

Hey Popcorn. You okay funny?

You didn't tell me you had a new mare.

That's because she's not mine.

How do you like her?

She's beautiful.

But she has a problem with her leg.

She was injured in a race at Auteuil. She's a champion, you know.

What's her name?

Naltina.

Do you like her?

Yes. She has a sweet look.

She's yours.

All mine?

All mine.

Thanks, Grandpa.

She's going to have to do some background

if she's ever going to use it again.

You've grown up a lot this summer.

How was your vacation?

Oops. Not a talkative girl today.

And a horse now.

I can tell you that he was not like that with me.

He makes me laugh.

It's crazy though.

Did you see Isabelle's face when I mentioned Hamilton?

She was green with envy.

At the same time, we have to face the facts.

Patou is more like miss boudin than miss mannequin.

And my brother, it doesn't get any better.

New car, new house. We talk a lot about money.

I have to tell you, next time,

avoid talking about your bonus coach at the table.

My mom still gave me 500 francs, but it was a close call.

You should tell them to fuck off sometime.

Honestly.

You guys are disgusting. They are nice papi and mamie.

Flavie, you're going to mind your own business once and for all.

I told you before, this is adult talk.

Can someone bring me the leftovers in the trunk of the car?

Yeah, that's fine. I'm going

You'll stop.

But why is he taking it? Thomas started it.

I've already told you to stop with that look from underneath.

Then, what are those bangs?

I'm fine. I'm fine.

Can we afford to go to for bangs? No. So there you go.

Aren't you overreacting a little bit?

Are you gonna be okay like this?

Will you come and give me a kiss in my bed?

Go to bed. I'm tired.

Good night, Papa.

Good night, Flavie.

The door. Shit, man.

It's not that complicated.

It's okay.

Don't let it get to you, Dad.

If you had taken care of it all along. Anyway,

you don't do anything in this house.

All right, boys, good night. Sleep tight.

Good night, Papa.

Good night, Thunder.

Good night, Apache.

Good night, Argentina.

I need 10 francs for my lunch.

Do you have it?

I left you a box of cassoulet, it's in the hallway.

Just give me five francs, then.

Are you going to go drinking beers again after work?

I'm allowed to have a little

fun with my friends, anyway.

It's not so bad, is it?

Who's doing all the work?

It's okay, I'm the one working anyway, right?

Here we go.

Go ahead, say that I'm not doing anything, that I'm good for nothing.

You know very well that I don't think that.

Come on!

Here...

Thank you my dear, see you tonight.

And the box of cassoulet?

I took it.

I flipped through the album,

but frankly, I don't see how that's going to help me.

We're not going to find anything in there.

I look happy in the pictures.

But do you remember being happy?

I don't remember much about myself as a little girl, actually.

We had a rather monotonous life,

a rather ordinary family, I feel.

Ordinary family?

Last time you said: "normal".

Yes, you know what I mean,

a classic pattern.

Thomas, the smallest, was the favorite,

Benjamin, the one who got the most slaps,

it must be said that he did a lot of crap.

Me...

Yes, what was your place?

I was the oldest,

the only girl.

My mother focused a lot on me.

I was the darling of my grandfather.

I didn't miss anything,

maybe some affection from my father,

but at the same time, it was like that at the time, wasn't it?

I don't know, you think?

Smile.

Stand up straight.

One more.

Great!

I'm going for a swim now.

Benjamin, you wait for us.

Your father hasn't finished yet.

It's not possible that can't stand still!

Take a cue from Thomas.

Did you put the blue bag in our room?

Yes.

You're not a man yet.

Hi!

How was your trip?

It was great.

Was it good? Yes?

How was it?

Go ahead, let go.

I didn't get the water, did you get the water?

We'll see later, it's the vacations.

He would not lend a hand that one.

Did we take the garbage bags?

I don't know.

Did you see the way he looked at you? You're making an impression on him.

He does have charm.

I don't know, he's a little old, ?

Old? He's barely 30.

You'll see in a while if one is old at 30.

What a nutcase that one is!

These girls' nights out are great!

You don't have to tell your dad, this is our time.

Thank you.

He wouldn't understand.

You know how men are.

Stand up straight.

What's with the whole wallowing thing all the time?

When you arch a little, it's so much prettier.

What class this painter has!

Did you see that, Flavie?

Stop!

Don't worry, it will look better in the mud.

Look at this, Martine,

the swimsuit blocked 60s.

The other one thinks he is Bardot, straightforward, let's go.

The cow, there are some who are not afraid of anything.

It is not possible...

Buttocks like that...

No...

No!

She must have hidden talents.

Well hidden, then.

Very well hidden.

You should pull in your stomach.

It's not very pretty like this, it wrinkles.

What a damn temper!

It's crazy, you can't tell her anything!

I swear, she is not easy!

What's going on?

It's your daughter again,

she takes the fly for a yes or a no.

Even on vacation, she does the face.

You don't put sand everywhere.

Benjamin, do you hear what I'm saying?

It's not me, it's Thomas who brought a lot of sand

with his bucket and shovel.

It's as if I didn't know,

as if I didn't understand their little trick.

That's right, take me for a fool.

What? Didn't you understand? It started last year.

Yes.

At the same time, when you see it,

you understand that it can't be very serious.

A quickie like that...

What do you want? They are all like that.

Look at your grandfather, he's had almost

all the women who have worked at the stud, yes.

At the same time, as my mother used to say,

it's me he sleeps with every night.

The cane, you.

No.

Yes, you do.

Here, this is good, here.

I'll take the stuffing box and you, , take your camera.

Come on.

Can I come with you?

Come on.

Try to bring something back.

Today, I don't race.

Boys, it's over this mess?

You think we're going to catch fish like this?

Dad?

Ferre, come on, ferre!

It's an eel!

Did you guys see that?

Her father's daughter, I tell you.

Champion!

Go get the camera, quickly!

She took it without any help.

Damn, great!

Mommy!

Come on, it's okay, we get it, Flavie.

Put this in the cooler because it's going to stink.

Flavie?

You've got some ass, don't you?

You're an ass.

Dad, stop it with that.

They say he's a good kid,

misses gets on his high horse.

I was just saying that.

You want to look like a pudding?

No.

We'll have to get a grip when school starts.

I'm sure she gained at least two kilos during this vacation,

and so do we.

So how do you like it?

I bought it just for you.

It looks like a flying saucer.

A flying saucer...

This is state of the art technology, .

It calculates your weight to the gram. Get in.

Forty-eight kilos and 600 grams. What did I say?

Let's set a goal.

What do we say?

Forty-six.

Forty-seven.

You're amazing, you, you do everything by halves.

That's not how life works, my little girl.

That's not how you're going to make it, believe me.

An effort to make and there is no one left.

You know what, Flavie? Do as you like.

I tell you that your weight is 46 kilos.

Now, if you don't agree-

It's okay, 46.

There, she understood.

You, I swear...

If you can't eat with us and resist,

you're better off on your own.

I swiped a fry, just one.

We set a goal, so stop pouting.

I'm not sulking.

She's still pouting, isn't she?

I'm not pouting.

Leave her alone for a little bit.

Come on, let's eat, it's gonna get cold.

Who wants more fries?

Me, and more than Thomas.

You're really bad.

I'm the tallest.

It's not because you're the biggest

that you have to take more stuff than me!

Yes, because I have to eat more.

Stop it or I'll eat it.

"Bad: that is unsuitable, that has a flaw,

an essential imperfection,

that has little or no value, that yields little,

poorly designed,

that does not work properly,

that causes or may cause harm, that displeases or pains,

that has a moral vice,

that does or likes to do evil.

Synonyms: abominable, disgusting, detestable, appalling,

execrable, horrible, vile, undrinkable,

inedible, vile, ugly, nasty. "

Well,

listen to Flavie, stop bullshitting me.

It's not possible that you gained 500 grams overnight

with what you ate yesterday.

I don't get it.

Did you eat something on the sly?

No, maybe there's something wrong with the scale.

At this price, it's not possible.

Don't lie to me, Flavie.

Swear to me on Grandpa's head that you didn't sneak anything yesterday.

I swear Mom, I didn't eat anything, nothing at all,

on your head.

I'm ready!

Because you think I'm gonna take you to Codec with me?

Yes.

No, maybe that will help you think.

I've been thinking, Mom.

I'll be more careful, please.

No Flavie, you're fat, you're ugly, you'll end up a cashier anyway.

I'm ashamed to carry around a fatty like you.

Just stay in your room, that's where you'll be best.

What's wrong, honey? What's the matter with you?

It's mom.

She won't take me to Codec with her.

She says she's ashamed of me because I'm ugly.

Look, I know it's hard, but you have to understand

that if she does this, it's for your own good,

so that you give the best of yourself.

By telling me I'm ugly and fat?

You know her, you know how she is.

She says that just because you are very pretty

and she doesn't want you to become pretentious.

She just hates me.

No.

She loves you, badly, but she loves you.

Clean this up before she comes back.

She's going to make trouble again, huh?

It can be like abuse.

You don't have to overdo it.

It's just that he was afraid of my mom too, I think.

Actually, I was talking about your mother.

It's true that she was the rain and the shine at home.

You never knew what to expect.

We were on the same page,

ready to do anything to make sure she was okay, to get a smile out of her,

my dad, first,

me next.

You have been pre-selected. You are one of 224.

Pre-selected for what?

The first round of casting Miss OK Magazine.

Flavie didn't tell you?

Why didn't you tell me?

Isn't this great?

I am so proud.

Let's go shopping. Bye girls!

Goodbye Gislaine.

Gigi, I already told you, when they call me Gislaine,

I have the impression that I'm going to get yelled at.

OK, Gigi.

See you tomorrow.

We'll have to vote for Flavie, girls.

No.

Can I help you?

Yes.

We're looking for a special outfit, it's for photos

of Miss OK election, you know?

Sure.

My daughter was selected, she is one of the 224.

It is true that she is pretty.

Yes, well, you didn't see her when you woke up.

Mom

It's okay, we can't joke anymore!

The election, it will be in Paris?

Yes, and we're going to do it between girls.

That's great.

Just the two of us.

That sounds great.

That sounds great.

Let's try that.

That looked tight. How's it feel?

It's perfect, it always relaxes.

I can't close it.

Yeah, you're going to lose some more.

You're going to give us an award

to support this young girl who is going to defend the region.

It's really something, Paris.

How do you like me?

Don't you like it?

You know what it's going to be, your problem in life?

It's choosing one man.

Only one man?

Mmm-hmm.

With your artichoke heart

and the demands you're going to have,

it's going to be hard to choose one man.

Remember what I tell you, you'll think of me later.

Don't forget one thing,

you have to be independent, you have to earn your money.

Don't make the same mistake I did.

I won't, Mom.

We have a breathtaking view.

Yes!

You know what the photographer from OK magazine said?

He said that Flavie could go very far.

I know she shouldn't take the big head, OK,

but it's still encouraging after all the effort we put in.

How about tonight?

Tonight we're going to dinner at the hotel's restaurant.

I just stained my pants.

Yeah, listen, I gotta go.

Yes.

Kiss.

Me, too. Kiss.

I miss you, too.

Shit...

What's wrong with you?

Nothing.

No, I didn't tell him anything.

I didn't know how to tell her

and then, for once she seemed happy

and was nice to my dad.

Every time we were far from home, alone, both of us,

she looked happy.

Especially when there were men watching you, right?

Yes.

Until then, I think I liked it that I was admired too, I think.

Do you think you liked it?

In this one, I was older.

That was the year after. I was fifteen years old.

That's when it started to get organized and it became almost professional.

Spin.

Great.

It's hot enough as it is.

We have to be careful, we were already overdrawn

at the beginning of the month.

By the way, I took 500 francs from you on your book Ria

so that we can do a little bit several in Paris.

You rub your hair a lot, and you don't put a ton of it on

like last time.

Don't forget the armpits.

It's so filthy, the whiskers under the arms.

I'm doing good, look, it doesn't spill out.

So the girls are going to train their asses in Paris again this weekend?

Do you have our tickets?

Yes...

Can you believe it? My brother will still tick,

when I ask to lend us his studio.

He tells me that he didn't know if he would be there, he wouldn't be there.

It's crazy anyway, when you see all the money he has.

Don't say now that you're going to change,

then stop bothering with it.

You think I wouldn't have borrowed his jag?

I would have stormed out big Prince at the Oleron game this weekend.

You could always run.

Of course I could.

Boys!

This weekend's gonna do me a world of good.

I deserve it, right? Flavie, do I deserve it?

Yes, of course you do.

Considering the effect you have on them, they're dropping like flies.

If you smiled more often, it would be a massacre.

Flavie, are you listening to me?

Yes, I'm listening. What is a hecatomb?

He's famous, isn't he?

Who is he?

I don't know who he is.

Go on. Come on, come on.

It's imperative that he gets us in.

Talk to him.

You're hurting me.

Talk to him.

Get back! Get back!

Like this, see?

I don't feel well, Mom. I feel sick.

You're messing up Flavie. You always

mess things up. Smile, damn it, smile.

We're getting to what she can... Oh, nice.

Did you see that? The cameras were on you.

Clap, clap.

Great.

Mom, I swear, I'm not well.

Stop acting for a minute.

Mom, I feel sick.

If I had had your face my poor girl,

if you had had the intelligence.

Mom, I swear-

Flavie, damn it. Everybody's looking at you.

You don't do well growing up, you.

You don't grow up right, you.

I found myself on benches, in the back of a sticky bistro,

in the back of a sports car, with a sleazy producer,

and my mom in the front, negotiating a contract,

for a movie that doesn't even exist.

She felt so important in those moments.

The crazy thing is that she never put up with my success.

She wanted to have fun, but especially not to play.

Aren't you tired of the Champs Elysées?

We could see other things. I don't know,

the Eiffel Tower, the Seine...

The Seine, but it's just a river. And then there is never anyone there.

I need to see people. Flavie, I never see anyone.

My life is between the house and the codec, so excuse me.

I don't know, at Notre Dame de Paris, there are lots of people there.

Notre Dame? There are only tourists.

On the fields, you always run into at least one celebrity.

And remember last time, Glenn Medeiros.

We still had a lot of fun.

Yes, but it was to discover something else.

That's how we met this man,

a minor celebrity at the time. My mom had a crush on him.

She made sure we went to talk to him at the restaurant.

He had a crush on me.

How old was he?

He was in his 40s.

Sometimes, I would spend weekends at his house,

in the Paris suburbs.

Did you have sex with him?

Yes.

At fifteen years old?

Yes.

Did you enjoy it?

No. I don't know how to tell you,

but I wasn't really asking myself that question actually.

When I went, I had no choice.

I let myself go. He looked sad.

I didn't want to hurt his feelings.

But you knew that it was statutory rape?

At the time, of course not. When I think about it now, yes.

Did your mother know?

Yes.

I'm sorry to ask you this, but were you a virgin?

No,

I had already had a boyfriend the summer before.

And when you went to meet this man,

you were still seeing your boyfriend?

Yes, but he didn't know anything about it.

I loved him too much to tell him things like that.

It was like a way of life.

That's him in the picture.

His name was Harry, he was my first love.

So young man, ready for your CCE?

Let's say that, for the next show jumping,

I'm not too worried. It's more the dressage that worries me.

I still lack a bit of authority.

Ask the Poupette for advice.

You know the work she did with Naltina.

She was injured, you know?

But it's my little girl who put her back on her feet,

with the advice of her papi. Gentle and firm.

Watch out for the tomcat.

Flavie, I need your advice.

Gyslaine, no.

What are you ashamed of?

Please, we don't talk about this in front of children.

Flavie, she's not a child anymore, and you can talk.

You told me well how daddy used to do the squirrels

it's not the same.

After the shower, your grandmother is

the intimate toilet, you know what I mean,

with cologne.

But that was back in the day, I don't do that anymore.

Do you agree with me that it's disgusting?

Yes, it's really gross. I don't know if it's right

to make stuff like that.

Do you see mom? It's disgusting.

And then your favorite little girl says it.

You're mean, you've always been mean.

I hope you don't become like your mother, my little doll.

It will pass before it takes me back.

Are you sure about this?

What's up? It's just a date.

No, it's not just a date. You know his age, his reputation,

you're going to go straight to the pot, that's for sure.

You know how guys are.

But don't worry Concrete, I'm telling you we love each other.

We love each other, we love each other But you've only known him

for two weeks.

To the well born souls, love does not wait the number of years.

Yes Flavie, go ahead the poet.

Can we kiss?

I do not know.

You've never tried it, have you?

We have plenty of time, we don't have to.

Yes, I know that.

But with you, I want to.

I'm gonna miss you.

Can I come see you?

I'll write to you too.

I will answer you.

Too much sentimentality.

I was like you at your age. And you'll see, it will pass very quickly.

Me neither, I don't like the end of the vacations.

But I don't cry.

It's not the end of the vacations that she cries,

it's her Harry.

Who is this one?

Hi.

Why aren't you happy?

I thought it was a letter from Harry.

But look who it is.

Yes, I saw who it is.

He remembers you, with all the celebrities he hangs out with,

It's crazy.

This was the man I told you about.

He told me that since we met,

he couldn't stop thinking about me, and that he wanted to see me again.

So? What are we going to do now?

What is it?

We have to answer him, right? I wrote a response, it inspired me.

Why are you writing in my place?

But this is an example!

It's up to you, I'm helping you here.

It's up to you in the end.

But where am I going to sleep if I'm going to see him for a whole weekend?

I won't let you go there if you're not under supervision.

You're not going anywhere. No, that's the condition sine qua non.

I wrote it by the way, read. He must have a guest room.

But Mom, he's writing to me. I am capable of answering myself.

That would have surprised me. The young lady wants to play it her way.

All right, go ahead. Write your answer.

We'll see if he finds you as interesting as ever.

I mustn't miss my train.

How was it?

It was fun.

He's got a really nice young dog named Ghost.

He's so funny, he jumps on you,

he's got really sharp teeth, and then he clings to your-

And what's his house like?

Big, with a big garden too. A living room with a huge sofa.

He even has the photo that we sent him.

He has a recording studio in the basement

and it smells like his perfume everywhere.

It's crazy.

Do you realize what's happening to you? Did you sleep with him?

Was it even good?

Every separation is for me a heartbreak.

I think of you, Flavie.

Making love with you was like the blossoming of two flowers

of spring in the forest, that we both love.

But do you realize that? This wouldn't happen to us.

And it's not just anyone!

Hi.

So, how was it with your Harry?

It was great.

You didn't have time to do your homework I guess?

No, I'll get it.

Harry. What do you want me to say?

He rides a horse. Talk about a future...

Worse, you'd see the mom, home health nurse, baba cool,

never came back from the seventies, a whole poem,

then dogs on top of it all, it's gotta stink in there.

But I swear every time, I drop her off there,

I say: what the hell are we doing here?

I hope she reacts in time.

If it turns out that is your future son-in-law.

Oh là là, shhh.

Hello !

Hi! How are you?

yes, I'm fine.

It's so nice to finally meet you.

You, too. Nice to meet you.

Congratulations on your CCE!

Thank you, ma'am.

Here, I have something to ask you.

People would not dare to tell you,

Harry would like to take Flavie to see La Mano Negra.

What is the Mano Negra?

It is a group of French song.

But it depends. When is it?

In two weeks at the Olympia.

At the Olympia? That's in Paris.

I can't let my daughter go to Paris like that.

They're both minors.

Harry is 17 and a half.

I'm begging you, Mom, say yes.

You're funny.

What time does the concert end? And where will they sleep?

At my older brother's who lives in Paris.

We'll go to his studio.

I'm not too keen on the idea.

It's Paris, the night, the concert, me, it scares me a little.

She's a little provincial, my daughter.

You've already let me go to Paris by myself.

No, but I understand perfectly. Flavie is only fifteen years old.

I don't want to force your hand.

No, but it's okay, she can go.

Thank you, Mom.

Thank you Madame.

This one, when she has an idea in the back of her head.

I'm not going to tell her no anyway.

The what?

The pogo, don't you know it? It's like you dance,

and hit yourself at the same time.

That's gotta hurt.

But that's the good part.

And where did you sleep?

In his brother's apartment It looked like a squat.

What's that?

Basically, it's dirty.

Then we all slept in the same room,

in sleeping bags.

And you have to get out of your country a little bit, old girl.

Yeah, but that would require my mom to trust me.

You're too lucky with yours.

She is cool in some ways.

In some ways!

She takes you to Paris, buys you clothes, she's cool

with all your friends.

Me, my mother comes home from work, she's exhausted,

she's sulking and on weekends, it's always the same.

Shall we talk about our mothers or shall I tell you the rest?

No, go ahead and tell the rest.

This is perfect.

Springtime.

And now that you've lost, you've got a great ass.

Really, no doubt about it, is perfect.

Mom, can I ask you something?

Yes, why are you making such a fuss?

I want you to stop reading my letters before I do.

What's the matter with you?

You think this is the time and the place?

What are you playing at, Flavie?

My mail, is my privacy, Mom.

This is crazy.

We're good, we're shopping for you,

and you come talk to me about the mail.

Are you sure that everything is fine for you?

Flavie, I'm talking to you, what are you playing at?

Yes, I just wanted to say that my mail,

is my privacy.

OK, Flavie.

You are really talented, you are really very good at ruining

the good times, thank you.

Thank you, great.

Thank you.

This morning, I have a discussion with Christelle.

You know what she said to me?

You know what Flavie, I don't care about your stories.

It's a child's business.

Work it out with your girlfriends,

since you want to be on your own.

You don't need me.

Mom, are you giving me a hard time?

You piss me off, Flavie.

You always make everything about you, You, you, always you.

Do you think the world revolves around your little person?

No.

Stop thinking that you are the center of the world!

I only think about you.

And me, do you think about me sometimes?

But of course I think about you, you know that.

You know what I wish you, Flavie?

I wish you not to have a life of shit like mine.

I shouldn't be telling you this, but I'm telling you anyway.

There are days when I'm so fed up with this shitty life,

I feel like turning the button to blow myself up.

Don't say that, Mom.

I want to die, Flavie, you understand?

But no.

I want to die.

Shit, I want to die, you know?

I know it's not right to say that, but I don't know

what I'll do without you.

It's okay, Mom, I'm here.

We've been seeing each other for several months and frankly,

I still don't know where we're going.

I admit to you that I am a little discouraged.

It's normal.

It's always normal with you.

I'm sorry.

You mustn't get discouraged at this stage of the therapy.

I've been wanting to stop for several days.

This is a classic emotional defense process.

Something is bothering you.

It means that something is starting to happen.

We are getting close.

It is in these moments of doubt that we must persevere.

Are you not listening to me anymore?

He raped me.

Who are you talking about?

The photographer who took this picture.

That's David Hamilton.

David Hamilton raped me.

How could I forget that?

I was thirteen years old.

My uncle had rented an apartment in Cape Town.

With my mother,

we didn't go to the Charente-Maritime as usual.

She had told me about David Hamilton.

Everyone knew that he worked there.

Not bad.

Is the ice cream good?

Yes.

I saw posters of Freddie People

who is doing a small concert on the beach tonight.

If you're interested, we can...

Who is that?

Still, it's Freddie People, girls.

Excuse me.

You guys having a good time?

Yes.

I'm with David Hamilton, .

He spotted your girls and he thinks really pretty.

We'd like to try them out.

Tomorrow, 2:00 p.m., would that be good for you?

For me, yes.

Great.

Would you like to do that?

Yes.

Yes, then.

Thank you.

Good afternoon.

Bye, guys.

I was sure of it, you realize?

David Hamilton, he's a star.

This is a huge opportunity.

This is so great!

We'll have to do something about that, girls.

No wonder they come to spend the summer here.

I've never seen so many beautiful kids.

Hello !

Welcome, come in.

It's lovely here.

It's been a long time that you...

It's been a few years, yes.

Let me introduce you to my wife, Gertrud.

Gertrud is never far away.

She will be next door.

Are you going to stay here ?

Very well, then.

I don't have to stay here anymore in that case.

What time shall I come to pick up the girls?

In about an hour, that's plenty and I'll make some polaroids.

That way you can see what we did.

Yes, I forgot, no nudes, please.

Transparency no problem, it's okay if you guess

but no nude.

Of course.

Don't worry, everything will be fine.

Bye.

So, have you taken any pictures yet?

No ?

Already this, we will change it.

Come on.

Two seconds, which one?

That's not.

Rather that.

Here, put this on, you can change there and keep your panties on.

It's perfect.

You're perfect.

Come on. Let's go.

Let's get right in there.

Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.

Okay, good. Okay.

Don't move. Don't move.

Okay, look at me.

This is nice.

Really, it's very nice.

No, don't smile, let's do a closed mouth.

Put your head down a little. Here we go.

Now look at me.

Okay, don't move, it's beautiful.

Stay right there.

That's magic.

Let's get to serious stuff now.

What about me?

You, we'll see later.

Don't move.

Put your head down a little.

Stop.

Beautiful.

Do you realize?

He is one of the most famous photographers in the world!

It is you that he chose.

At the same time, there is no photo.

So these photos?

Look at them.

I am tired.

Your uncle and his friends dragged me yesterday to a sex club.

That's not really my thing. I stayed 1 hour.

Then I was fed up, disgusted, all these bodies

upside down.

I went home.

By the way, Goodrum, his wife, was she there when you were taking the pictures?

No, I only saw her at the same time as you.

Then she disappeared.

Hello.

Hello, how are you?

Fine and yourself?

What time should I pick her up?

Right now we're really going to work so, come back in two and a half hours.

Bye.

Now it's our turn.

Take off your clothes.

You okay?

Are you happy?

You'll see, we'll make very beautiful pictures together.

You have something special.

Yes.

You know, I don't like these things too much.

It doesn't look good under the dresses, it doesn't go with the fabrics.

Take it off, please.

We won't see anything, but if you keep it on, it's all we'll see.

Yes, but...

Everyone in Cape Town is naked.

It doesn't matter.

It's pretty, it's very pretty.

I feel like you're going to smile.

What did I say?

Good.

On the other hand, at the top of the dress, it's not very pretty.

Look at this.

Pinch your nipples and see?

Inside, there you go, very good.

Pinch them hard.

Very good.

That's very good.

Now put your hat on.

Just like that.

Tie it in the back.

Close the dress now.

Close it a little bit more.

There's this one, or this one but my favorite is this one.

Yes, that one.

Really.

I'll give it to you and I'll sign it for you too.

There you go.

I've got to get going.

Hello.

What time should I pick you up?

Come back at 5:30.

We'll change it up a bit today.

Come on.

Lie down on the bed.

Like this, put your head here.

Perfect.

Put your arm like this.

Open your hand.

Put that back in there.

That's it.

I'll let you in on a secret.

You know I'm known throughout the world,

they call it the Hamiltonian flow.

Have you ever heard of it?

That's the secret.

You won't tell?

At least there.

Close your eyes.

The sleeping beauty.

Okay, we'll try it without the dress now.

Mom.

: Mom?

Yes, what?

I need to ask you a question.

I wanted to know,

because you understand,

I was wondering if maybe you guys have talked.

Because actually-

Flavie, you can't just say things.

Go ahead and say it. What?

How much longer do you think this is going to last?

What?

The photo shoots.

What? Are you tired of them already?

It's not that, but...

But what?

But what? Aren't you happy?

Yeah, I mean...

But we always do the same things.

I wear dresses, I'm not even allowed to smile.

And it's the vacations and all that, it takes me a long time.

Me, I prefer-

Here we are, here we are.

No, but that's funny, I would have bet on it.

After a few days, mademoiselle is fed up,

mademoiselle is not happy.

No, but I swear.

Listen to me well my little girl,

me, I want to hear everything.

That you prefer to be with your friends,

that it is the vacations.

What does it take you? Two, three hours a day.

I understand all that perfectly, your kid stuff.

But there you go, Flavie, that's the way it is.

And remember the lesson for later, because if you don't, it will play tricks on you.

When you make a commitment, you follow through.

Hello.

Hello.

Five and a half hours?

Yes, perfect.

What dress should I wear?

Today we're going out.

It's good for us to get outside.

Come on.

And hurry up, we're going for a walk.

Today I'm going to teach you something.

We're looking for mice.

Do you know what mouses are?

They're the prettiest thing in the world.

It's the mouse.

The little mouse of women.

I love mouses.

I look at them and then I photograph them.

Look.

This is old, it's not very pretty.

But look at this.

This is really pretty.

And you,

what kind of mouse do you like?

Come on, it's not difficult.

It's not hard to choose with all those mouses

that there are on the beach.

But look, look around you a bit.

They're everywhere.

So tell me, which one would you take pretty little mouse?

Well, come on, I'm tired of wasting my time.

I'm sorry, David.

I don't know what's wrong with me.

I'm not feeling well today.

It must be the heat or...

Yes, it's true, it's hot.

Well, come on, let's go out on the balcony.

No pictures today.

Let's talk.

She's not here, Gudrün ?

No.

Look how good you'd be here.

Come on, settle down.

I'm not sure it's for me to lie here.

Yes, it is.

I'm sure you'll be really comfortable.

Yeah.

She's pretty.

I'm gonna make you foam.

And you're gonna like it.

You're gonna see how good it is.

All my models ask me for it.

They tell me: "David, give me a shower, please."

They love showers, you know.

Dry yourself.

I want to take the picture of you

before your mom comes to pick you up.

This was the last session today.

Was it?

No, but she did very well.

It was a long and painful road

for Poupette and me to console ourselves.

It will have been necessary for us of the years of supports and analyses,

of the nights, alone, immersed in a deafening silence,

to fight against anguishes coming from the depths,

like the sharks which go up along the tombs.

I will have to ask forgiveness to Poupette to have abandoned her,

then to forget for too long.

Because the legislation today condemns the children as it

to a life of silence

and frees the criminals of the weight of their ignominy.

It was necessary to expect it,

it was necessary to take it before,

to wake up earlier.

It's called prescription.

You are right Poupette.

The passing of time does not take away anything

from the gravity of what was done to you.
