Who does this tetra belong to?

Please a nurse to the stretcher in the hallway!

Please!

Are you okay, big guy? - It went very well, Ben.

Yes, the operation went well, honey.

Yes, you drool because of the intubation. Yes, I will come to you in a moment.

But you're not alone here, I don't have 36 arms, so wait.

From then on she never called again.

And I'm hanging there like an idiot...

between the night shifts here at the clinic...

and the days in my shithole waiting for her call

Oh yeah I haven't told you

financially things aren't great.

It might be strange that I'm telling you this.

you breathe through a hose

you are paralyzed in arms and legs

but you listen to me

And we don't have to judge each other.

Exactly, you listen to me. Unlike her.

Hello, Monsieur Vallier.

Better without tubes in your mouth, huh?

Now you can finally tell us something.

245

I'm sorry, what?

245 small squares...

The light... ceiling...

Aha...

Understood. I've never counted them.

That's good, Monsieur Vallier.

Well.

Yes, Monsieur Vallier? - I think I can move my foot.

The big toe on the left foot.

So?

Yes indeed.

That's good. I'll go find the doctor and let him know.

Thanks.

Isn't it too jerky? - It is.

It'll be fine.

We're here, Monsieur Vallier.

It's so hot! Is everything alright?

Hot. - You have a nice view here.

Something different than the Rue Gabriel Péri.

Good day!

I'm Doctor Challes, I run this center.

This is François, our physiotherapist. - Good day.

Welcome, Monsieur Vallier. So I'm the head doctor here.

I take care of your treatment,

François is responsible for your rehabilitation. - OK.

In the beginning, I'll come here to your bed once a day.

Once you have some stamina

we practice twice a day and then as soon as possible in the training room.

OK. - I'll be back in the early afternoon,

to test your mobility and sensitivity.

So we'll do a few tests. - Good.

Although it is still too early to make any statements about your mobility.

A nurse will remove the plaster from your tracheostomy tube.

And we're going to pull the feeding tube for you.

You're finally getting rid of your last hose. - Yes.

Rest and settle in.

See you later. - Bye Benjamin.

Thanks. - Goodbye.

I'll take care of the paperwork then

and make sure you get a phone, because there isn't one...

I will be back soon. - In order.

The physiotherapist seems likeable. - Yes.

This is important.

I like the view.

Hope you will be able to enjoy it soon.

And Jean-Charles starts! - The candidate from Nice...

You'll see there's a cafeteria, a newspaper kiosk,

even a pool...

Sorry, visiting hours have long since ended.

You must go. - Two more minutes.

It's good like this:

Your television is connected and you have a telephone.

We will come tomorrow during visiting hours.

let me give you a kiss

Bye, my big one.

See you in the morning. - Yes until tomorrow.

goodbye

Good morning Benjamin! How are you? Did he sleep well?

Very pleased Benjamin. That's right, isn't it?

Then I'll open his shutters.

I open shutter number one...

And there is the sun, which I ordered.

I open shutter number two...

And of course number three. Benjamin has several roller shutters.

So how is our Benjamin? - Call me Ben.

Ben! Very pleased.

I'm Jean-Marie, caretaker, and I'll take care of you in the morning.

I turn the TV on for him.

I turn on the television and tune in to the music channel.

So, bingo, my favorite show. The day starts well.

Does he prefer coffee or chocolate in the morning?

He? No idea. I take chocolate.

Chocolate. Immediately! I knew it.

The chocolate is hot... and there we have the chocolate!

That's it, monsieur. I'll raise his back.

Wait... I'm getting dizzy.

That was maybe a little too fast. So a little back, otherwise he'll get sick.

He still has problems with the erection. - I haven't tried it in a long time.

That is normal. So...

I would have crispbread with butter or jam.

Butter. - Butter. just butter?

One? Two? - Just butter. You can have both.

No Please. - Just butter.

I butter...

a rusk...

And I do that for him with love.

This is important.

Voilà... here come the crispbreads.

Let me know if I'm too quick.

I can do it. - Let's go.

And... yes!

Here's the chocolate...

You are the boss, you decide.

Okay... something went wrong.

It's running, it's running... And if it's running, Jean-Marie,

then you stop it in front of the pillow, and Ben is sparkling clean again.

More crispbreads? - I'm fed up.

I will serve the breakfast next door and then come back for the morning toilet.

Does he agree? - Yes.

Yes he does. See you later, Monsieur Ben!

Shit, there's no such thing. - Monique!

This is our all-purpose grater, the grater that grates everything.

Crap...

...you can roughly grate a cucumber.

That's quick. - Flawless.

Do you like thick slices? - I love her. That's great.

And that for 2990 francs via teleorder:

3615, code M6.

On three. Jean Noël, are you ready?

Yes. - One, two, three, and go!

Very good. ok No dizziness?

It's going ok. - Lay down carefully.

Be careful with your head.

Voila.

ok Isn't it too cold for him?

Why do you say "he" to me? Can't you say "you" like everyone?

Very good. Is the water warm enough?

He just has to say it.

We start at the top.

He'll let you know if anything happens, yes? - Phew, that's cold.

I'll start at the top.

Then I wash my legs.

And at the end comes the small intimate wash.

Shit, "the little lingerie"...

Thanks. I want to know, do you realize you're funding this corporation?

Be careful, Christiane.

Hello.

Hello. - Everything okay?

So you're the new guy. What's your name?

Ben And you? - I'm Steve. What do you have?

Incomplete paraplegia. - Incomplete?

Cool. What can you move?

The shoulders a little. - Mmm.

Left foot and hand a bit.

But not much. - How did this happen?

A sports accident, totally stupid.

Why are you lying on your stomach? - I got a decubitus on my ass.

What's up your ass? - You can tell you're new.

If you stop moving, you'll get bed sores.

There's only one thing: relief. I've been lying on my stomach for a month now.

That hurts? - I won't tell, you'll see.

So, the nurse wants to catheterize now. see you soon

See you soon. Welcome Home.

Because of "at home".

This might be your home, dumbass.

This leads us to a very different version. That's why I'm here.

It's okay, you'll find a replacement quickly.

We expect you back in a year at the latest.

Shit, it hurts you guys starting a season without me.

A little higher, please. - What?

Christiane, the phone... thank you.

What are you talking about? - Wait, I don't mean you.

That is how it goes. That is...

Christiane, the nurse, holds the receiver for me.

She's holding the phone? - Yes, it's too heavy for me.

I see. Shit. - That's really gross to me.

I'm almost completely paralyzed.

I have zero privacy, I'm totally dependent. it's hell

I didn't know it was that bad.

And someone comes with you to pee?

What do you think?

I can only dream of going to the bathroom.

The bladder is a muscle and I'm out of muscle.

I get a catheter to pee.

You push a tube into the bladder, then it runs.

Into the bubble? How? - What do you think?

Through the tail? - Sure, how else?

Half as wild. 30 centimeter tube through the urethra, and it's running.

Stop! I get really sick. Stop.

Half as wild. - Phew...

Do sisters do that?

Yes, of course. - Are they pretty?

Uh, yeah... - There you see...

Do you remember Madame Bouchard?

History and Geography in the Fourth. - Not a sexy nurse.

That's okay, brother. - Christiane! What is?

What shoud that? An hour ago it said "in 10 minutes"!

There are people here, I have to go.

Christiane... I'm done.

Do you already know Toussaint and Farid? - No.

Hello. - Hello. sorry for the robbery

Can we go, Christiane? - Yes.

I've been looking for you for an hour!

See you next time, good evening. - To you too.

Good morning Benjamin! Did he sleep well?

Oh shit... "Ben".

ben! Did Ben sleep well?

I open his first shutter for him.

The sun is shining, the birds are singing. Have a nice summer!

The second roller shutter...

and the third roller shutter.

Even more light and joy!

I turn on the television for him.

Now the music clips are coming and I'm going to pull up his back.

What is the head doing? Less dizziness? - Yes.

Very good. He gets higher and higher... - Not too far...

Jean Marie? - Yes.

Can you help for a moment? - Yes.

I will be back soon. He's waiting here, yes?

No, he's not waiting, he's changing steps in the park.

Such a crap...

Get rid of unwanted love handles,

with "Bio-Slim", the bestseller from our shop.

Simply spread the super active cream on the desired areas of the skin.

Crap.

This promotes perspiration.

You can treat thighs and hips at the same time,

by using the special film from Bio Slim.

Try to join my movement.

I bend, you bend. - Damn...

I stretch and you try to stretch your leg.

Try it. - I'm pushing, don't you notice?

That's good, your legs are already more relaxed today.

Oh yes? - Yes. That's good.

We will always be able to do more. - For example?

We can go to the rehab room

and do proper straightening exercises.

What does that mean? How does that work? - We'll strap you onto a stretcher.

Then we raise them up gradually,

so that your body gets used to the upright position.

Are you kidding? I'll get sick if you lift me up a bit.

Don't worry, we're going very slowly. - Yes.

This is important so that you can get into a chair

so you can sit - In a wheelchair?

Yes, in an electric wheelchair, then you can go by yourself.

I absolutely want that. When is that?

As soon as possible.

I'll show you something.

Do this with your hand.

When you put your hand up like that

your fingers will bend by themselves. - like that?

And now you can practice gripping with your thumb.

oh crap...

And now you're trying to bring your thumb closer to your index finger.

So? - Yes Perfect.

I can't do it. - Yes, it's tense.

Concentrate. Good this way.

So? - Yes, that's good.

Yes.

Yes indeed! How are you, brother? - And you?

Everything is easy? - Yes.

There are some really nice crack heads running around here. Is that really a clinic?

Craziness! It's good that at least you look normal.

You know what I mean. - Yes, sure.

Everything is easy? - Yes.

I wanted to come last week but it was chaos.

Here are photos for you. - Please put it there.

OK. - How's the training going? How are the others?

Well, now comes the championship.

are you fit - Sure, what do you think?

We have new attack systems, really awesome.

And do you know who is sitting in front of you? The new team captain.

are you captain - Yes.

In. - Good day.

Good day. - Hello, I'm the psychologist.

Do you feel comfortable here? - Sure, that was my childhood dream.

I am very happy.

In order. Have you been sleeping well since you've been here?

No. Seriously now: no.

I often have nightmares, I hardly dare to close my eyes.

Aha... - But not only since I've been here.

It was like that as a child.

And what are your nightmares right now? - I dream of birds of prey.

And caterpillars. - Hmm?

From caterpillars. - Yes. Of birds of prey and caterpillars.

Birds of prey... - And caterpillars.

And caterpillars.

There is surely an explanation for this. - Do you mean?

Yes. - That would be good.

Then I'll leave you alone with your friend. - Yes, please.

I'll be back. - Yes, whenever you want.

Thanks. - Goodbye.

See you soon. - Yes.

Impossible... - What?

you are really sick

Why do you say something like that? - No idea.

Out of boredom.

Good morning Benjamin!

Did he sleep well?

No time for regrets, the mistakes are ours alone

Born to promote progress To father children

Which the morning makes wiser when one acts at night

Drag my flesh, my bones to any latitude and degree

The world is big for some too small for others, they live in castes

Some spread love, others hate

We grow up, the innocence is gone that we were born with

Fight my weaknesses, strengthen my spirit, sanctify my soul

Adam structures my DNA

The mistakes are ours alone

No time for regrets. - No time for regrets...

The mistakes are ours alone...

The life of young people on the street is supposed to be dreary

I don't need tears or drama

Do we do this every morning now?

It has to be funny, otherwise it won't get chilled.

There he comes. - Whoa.

You look sexy. - Tell me, do the stockings have to be?

Yes, otherwise you'll never make it into the wheelchair.

At least put my jogging pants on me

that's not so stupid.

At least that hides something. - Very pretty.

What is that?

Socks against bed sores.

It's probably a joke. I'm not going out today.

But. - No, I'm not going out.

Sylvie, please turn on the TV, there is a steam iron on M6,

I'm buying that, I'm not going out.

Now comes the waist belt. - Oh no...

You are kidding me. - But.

Come on. - It's no good.

Also, it's totally uncomfortable!

If you sit, you will be happy about it.

Your abdominal muscles have weakened. The strap supports you while breathing.

He presses on the diaphragm... - Okay, stop diaphragming with me.

why are you tormenting me Am I a bad patient? A black?

No. So it is good.

OK. - Are you ready?

Very carefully, very well.

Slow down, relax.

That will not do. - Yes, try, breathe.

Everything is turning. It's not working. - It's about to get better.

breathe

Good this way.

breathe

Better? - Yes, indeed.

Are you ready? We'll set you up.

That's enough. - A little bit more.

Stop. - like that?

Yes.

Good this way? are you feeling well

You see, now you're in a wheelchair. Do you want me to explain everything to you? - Yes.

Wait! - OK.

Slow! Here's the battery

there the horn if you want to overtake trucks.

And here's the steering lever: left, right, forward, back.

OK? - Yes, I got it.

Are you getting along? - Hmm?

do you wanna go - OK.

Thank you, my Francois!

Thanks very much. - Drive off.

Sylvie, thank you!

Yes!

Yes, man!

Understood? - Yes.

With a wheelchair! - Yes.

Since when? - Two minutes.

Since just now? - Yes.

You're doing fine. - To be honest, not quite yet.

I don't know anything about here. - Come on, I'll show you everything.

OK. - Let's look around.

Shit, wait a minute. - Park once...

Understood? you're ben, aren't you? - Yes. And what was your name?

Farid. - Farid? OK.

Everything okay? - Yes / Yes.

Have you been here long? - Now I'm here because of my hip.

But I've been in a wheelchair since I was four. - Four?

Yes, that's already... - Shit.

And what happened to you? - A sports accident.

Sports? - Yes No.

We idiots went to the pool at night. I jumped in too steep.

The classic. - I jumped into an almost empty pool!

Quite classic, that happens. I know several like you.

Really? - Yes.

I did not know that.

I thought something stupid like this only happened to me.

Well, my friend, there are many idiots out there.

We're sure to meet a few of them here.

Are there many here? - Oh...

Well guys? - How are you, Jean Marie?

Good. He has his wheelchair! Excellent! - Yes.

Enjoy your day. - See you tomorrow, Jean Marie.

keep your eyes open. Very good.

I'm getting dizzy.

A little more.

Breathe nice, breathe... - That's enough.

We will have an orthosis made for you to hold your thumb in place.

OK.

Nonsense, the best is Zinedine Zidane.

You're only saying that because he's from Marseille. - Yes, and Kabyle.

That means double the power. - Francois...

Maradona is the best ever. - Bullshit.

Greasy hair, he looks like a pizza maker.

In tetra and paraplegics, straightening can trigger something like that.

oh shit

Francois? - Everything's ok.

Look at that! It's good that my arms are paralyzed, he could experience something.

oh shit

Not that that happens to me!

Okay, Jean Marie, Jean Marie...

No, that excites me a little.

I prefer to think of Christiane: Christiane...

Wait a minute. I have to go next door, then I'll take care of you.

I'll save that later.

Wait here for me, okay? - Sure, of course.

What else?

I'm waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting.

Damned.

Oh my goodness.

Hello. - Hello.

are you my new roommate - Yes.

I've seen you at rehab before. - Yes?

Doesn't anyone help you clean up? - Yes, I'll wait for Christiane.

I could have guessed. - Motorbikes are your thing?

These are not motorcycles, but prototypes.

Nothing is standard, they are specially designed for racing.

OK.

But yeah, that's my thing.

That is why I am here.

I braked too hard before the curve, the rear slipped away...

And my spine got it.

I don't give a fuck. As soon as I'm healthy, I'll start again.

OK.

And you?

An accident while diving.

What, the dive?

Yes... in the pool. I'll see where Christiane is.

Do you think the? - What?

The guy was in a motorcycle accident and there are motorcycle posters everywhere.

Do you think I'd put up posters of dives?

Nobody does that. - Welcome to the brain damaged.

Brother, what is this? The madhouse? - Here are the ones with traumatic brain injuries.

Are they all vegetating here? Do they get anything at all?

Some speak, some don't, some understand.

Some have amnesia, others don't get it at all.

Each case is different. Some are completely out.

Real? - You will laugh.

This one has lost all sense of courtesy.

He doesn't filter what he says. It's called frontal lobe syndrome.

In the canteen he once yelled:

"Man, I have to take a shit!" - No!

I swear. - Sounds great.

Since I was four, I've been to umpteen centers and seen incredible things:

People with TBI, people with burns, paralytics, amputees...

That interested me. You have to do something or you'll screw up here.

We're just killing time here.

So, brother, rule number 1:

You only have to learn one thing: patience.

Especially you tetras, you can't do anything alone.

I'm waiting to be picked up, washed, let me pee... Unbelievable.

That's why I'm looking for tricks on how to fuck the hours.

fuck what - The hours.

fuck hours? - A phone call, for example.

You can easily fuck for 20 minutes. With a siesta you fuck for an hour.

A tour with Farid easily fucks half an hour.

you got it - Yes.

That's why I'm playing the guitar now. - I'm sorry, what? Say that again.

Do you still say "gamp"? - Yes, guitar, you know.

My father said "Gamp". How old are you?

But better than the motorcycle babble. For example last night:

He spoke in all seriousness about tires, about grip!

Tell me about the pool.

Exactly! As if I were a professional, a passionate swimmer.

Exactly. - I talk about jumps, PH levels, water level, etc.

Tell him about bathing suits, bathing caps and chlorine.

That's what I said: the same motors, the same principle is used in the wave pool.

It's the same. - Time for the potty, gentlemen.

But that's a stretch, Cécile.

We're just spinning. - Can we?

Please start with Éric, I'll finish my clip.

OK.

the hand to the side.

do you like the clip

Hm? - Do you like the clip?

No, I don't really care.

But the singer is cute.

You can watch the clips while shitting.

I only see your face, it's not the same.

But the smell is the same for both of us.

I put you on the side - Yes.

And here we go. - Go ahead.

Thanks. - Good this way?

- Yes Perfect.

You see, whether we're tetra or paraplegic, we're the same when it comes to emptying our bowels.

I'll be back in 20 minutes.

Only in these moments do I feel close to you.

We're really in trouble.

may i try - Go ahead.

Damn. - You wouldn't have made it anyway.

O Toussaint! - Understood?

Yes. Aren't you going to eat?

Yes, I'm just getting my medicine. - OK.

Hello Hello.

Do you know Toussaint? - No.

His story is awesome. He doesn't even know his parents.

His name is Toussaint because he was born on All Saints' Day.

Well... - What?

I said the guy doesn't even know his family.

He was always on his own.

He was always hanging out with the bad guys from his neighborhood.

He could have fallen too, but he made it.

He founded a company and opened a gym.

And when everything was going great: boom, car accident.

He fell asleep at the wheel. Now he's starting from scratch.

As a tetra, he is always alone.

You finally left your room. - Yes, finally.

No more lonely meals. - You are loneliness, Christiane.

this is your place - Thanks.

I'll get you your fork. - What? my fork?

You get the same fork as me, newbie.

Please, gentlemen.

I'm Steeve, remember? - Yeah, you had that thing up your ass.

Thanks. - Is someone sitting there?

He's coming.

Thanks. - Bon appetit.

The celery is disgusting. - I'm really losing my appetite.

Toussaint, are you okay?

Shit, celery again! That's annoying.

There's either carrots or celery.

"Celery" sounds like "Riz". And you black people like rice, don't you?

Very funny you racist.

Christiane! A fork, please.

are you coping

After two bites I'm completely exhausted.

Don't worry, after two or three times you'll get the hang of it.

Christiane! - Listen Ben...

can you pass me the salt? - Clear.

Earlier he pushed the button on the elevator all by himself.

Here...

Oh, you're just kidding me! How nice. - You tetra idiots!

It's okay guys.

Christiane, can't you help him on his first day?

Do you ever make yourself useful?

Cut the taunts.

Could I have dessert straight away, please?

The food doesn't look that great.

Christiane...

These exercises piss me off.

I can hold myself, look. - Yes, very good, excellent.

Excellent. And now slowly. Arms back.

Arms back, hands back...

And lean, okay?

Exactly... follow...

Hold against it... great.

Good, excellent.

OK? Once again?

Lean on your arms.

Press hard and bring your head closer.

And here we go.

Straighten up... lean on your arms.

Damn shit, watch out!

What is this idiot?

Be careful!

Do you want a punch in the face? - Very good.

Is this Frontal Brain Syndrome? - Who just sent me...

such a complete idiot?!

It's terrible. - You son of a bitch!

Damn asshole. - A little more, Madame Gardette.

Damn shit, look out!

Hello Samir, how are you? - Hello, Julien. It's going ok.

No, I'm Ben, remember? I've said that before.

Hello Ben? - Understood?

Are you listening to Bob Marley again? - Yes, do you know him? Do you like him?

Yes, as I said, I listened to him a lot for a while.

The boys from the neighborhood introduced me to him as a child.

Yes, you told me that. - Hello!

how are you - Good. And you?

We go out? It's not cold. - Yes.

Are you coming? - I'm going to my room.

Secure? don't you want to go with me - No.

OK. - Bye, Julien.

Hello, Monsieur Amlaoui!

Monsieur Amlaoui, how are you? Come with us?

Still not?

We'll ask again tomorrow.

The poor thing never says anything.

Have you ever heard his voice? - No.

Wait wait...

That's life. - Do you know the little one that's coming?

No who is that? - I saw her at rehab.

She is sweet. - Yes?

say nothing, say nothing...

Hello. - Hello, is everything alright? - Hello."

The stupid thing about girls in wheelchairs is...

You never know if they have a big butt.

You're right.

But it's good to have a pretty girl in the clinic.

That is rare. - Have you ever had a girlfriend at the clinic?

Yes.

Yes... that was very quick.

a little story... nothing great.

What do you mean, "nothing great"?

Have you ever fucked?

What shall this question be for? Of course I've already fucked.

You mean because I've been in a wheelchair for so long I've never fucked? - Yes.

Do you think I'm a loser? - No.

You newly disabled don't respect us old hands.

Oh, you're annoying. Come in, it's cold. - Exactly, go away.

With my mother: I've already fucked. - Farid, you're annoying.

Come on, it's freezing. - No, I'll wait for Max, we're smoking.

OK, see you later.

Farid, all this "I'm a virgin", "I've never fucked":

I'll keep it to myself. - It's okay, I don't have to prove anything to you.

I won't tell anyone, it stays between us. - Yes / Yes.

I stand by my buddies. Monsieur Amlaoui!

Farid is still a virgin.

Samir, you're not in your room at all.

Let's hear it. Nice huh? - This is Bob Marley. do you know him

Do you like him?

Have a nice day Samir. - You too, Julien.

The advantages of a gym in your living room

offers you the body trainer.

After just a few units on the body trainer

your buttocks will be round, your thighs will be firm and your stomach will be flat.

"Flat stomach", bullshit...

The Body Trainer: Your fitness partner at home.

Voilà, a sparkling clean Éric.

He parks. - Do you want me to help him into bed?

No, I can do this alone. - Very good.

will you give me my clothes please - Yes.

He gets the clothes.

He takes the clothes and puts the clothes down.

I'll be back in ten minutes if he needs help. In order?

Crap.

Damn... Ben?

where are my legs - How do you mean that?

I do not see her. Where are they? - You're para, just shoot it.

I can't do it. where are my legs

A: Your leg slipped under my bed.

Shut up man! Stop the shit jokes! - Calm down.

Calm down. - Are my legs trapped in the wheelchair?

Just shoot it. - What's going on here? Wait, I'll help you.

Wait... is it okay?

ok

So how did he manage that?

Damn... I can't take it anymore.

He should recover, I'll be right there.

Eric...

Excuse me.

The joke was...

The Body Trainer is our bestseller.

The recipe for success is this simple movement,

This top-down movement that anyone can do.

Life is one big parade

It's a mystery

Life is a drum roll

It shakes what is important to us

Life is a Farandole

Where does it come from?

It's beautiful and crazy

And... it's good for us

The life, the life...

It makes you want more

The life, the life...

What is it, Ben, Steeve, aren't you clapping?

It's really cool. We should get a standing ovation.

Let's go boys, this sucks.

are you coming with me - Hmm?

You deserve a second chance.

That's right, you're a music lover now.

Let him alone, Farid! - Slime!

Life is a carousel

It makes us dizzy, full of pitfalls...

Not bad at all, right?

What? That sucks.

Yes, but he gives it his all, he's cute. I like people who give everything.

Where have the others gone? - I have no idea what to do.

And you have nothing to do? - No.

Alright, let's do a lap then.

Yes.

Farid says accidents happen often.

Even here are people that this has happened to.

And what happened to you?

Car accident.

Have you been here long?

Not really, it must be three or four months now.

It feels like six years to me.

Honestly, time doesn't pass here like it does elsewhere.

A breakfast lasts two years.

The first song by the guys lasted six, seven hours.

Where are the others?

The others have their tennis lesson.

Not funny? - No.

Admit it, you like the musicians.

Yes, I caught you rocking in your chair.

Okay, got it, I thought they were great.

Especially the fat one with his weird instrument.

Me too.

Well, there you are.

Hello, my name is Ben.

eddy - Eddie?

Glad you're here. The guy in front of you had a lot of motorcycle posters up.

That's better.

Did Christiane bring you here? - Yes. She really pisses me off.

She nearly killed me three times in the single room.

That's Christiane...

You have good music here, we will get along well.

Without that you are lost here. - Yes.

I had that brought to me first.

do you rap - No.

With texts from others, yes.

But writing is not my thing. How did you end up here?

Broken cervical vertebrae. Incomplete paraplegia.

By a dive in the outdoor pool.

Quite classic.

Why are you here?

It's a complicated story.

There was trouble at a party. A guy aimed at me.

I'm not afraid of guns, so I cranked it up a notch.

Then he shot.

A bullet in the neck. - N / A?

Have you already introduced yourself?

We've already made acquaintance.

He's from Garges. And the shooter is probably from Corbeilles.

Better a psychopath than motorcycles. - Your isch is coming, you slime.

She's not my chick. - Don't fool me.

We're just talking. - Yes / Yes...

Yes, we're talking, - I'm talking too.

You don't talk to anyone.

What is my fault if you're a virgin?

Hello. - Are you okay, Samia?

Did you find the CD? - No.

Shall we go to the canteen? Yes? No? - But I was looking.

Alright, take it easy folks. - That's something.

I'll find her, don't worry. - Cool.

Unless Éric stole them.

If he has her, we're screwed. - Yes.

I trust you, but him... - "I trust you..."

do you trust me - Yes.

Beep, beep... - You trust me?

Why not? - Stupid lovebirds!

This is Lamine. - That's what I thought, brother.

What are you doing? - Well, what am I doing...

I went to squash like every Monday.

joker. How's the hand going? Better?

Yes, almost. Not really yet, but almost.

The arms get stronger.

I'll be able to go to the swimming pool soon, I'm happy about that. - That's good.

Legs take longer. But I keep at it, I'm not giving up.

It's coming. - I have nothing to complain about.

Others here are making zero progress. Really sad.

And you know what?

Here's a girl like that, Samia.

An arab girl, totally sweet, we are often together.

Wait a minute, "often together"?"Samia"?

The guy doesn't burn anything. The guy is really strong.

Sits in a wheelchair and picks up girls.

Oh no, I'm not picking anyone up, we're just hanging out.

Any distraction is welcome here. - Distraction is beautiful. Just distract yourself.

good evening - Oh, here comes the catheter.

What? - I'm about to be catheterized.

There on the tail? - Yes.

30, no 40 centimeters high the tail. - Stop it! Stop!

Don't be mad... - I'll hang up now.

What's annoying is that they push it all the way up.

Hello?

Toussaint, shall we undress? - I stay here. Start with Steeve.

Just getting dressed and undressed takes hours. And now a swimming pool.

That's annoying.

At least we fuck for a few hours.

Without a swimming pool, the day would be really long. - But we make fools of ourselves.

You are really no help.

We're screwed and you're still putting us to shame.

Isn't that humiliating, Toussaint? - I don't give a fuck, I'm fine, let me.

Toussaint, are you ready? - Stay away or I'll bite you.

Come on. - Don't you get it? I stay here.

Discuss this with your physiotherapist. - It's good that I'm here.

You white folks are crazy going into cold water in your underpants.

That's not for me. - Don't talk to him.

Blacks and bathing don't go together. - Have a nice splash, boys!

Oh come on, you're the splasher here!

That's a guitar. He plays the guitar. - He thinks he's the Gipsy Kings.

Gypsy Kings? So listen.

Ben, can you pass me the salt?

Go then.

I'll tell you a story, you'll laugh your ass off.

It's about a bus with disabled children.

So the driver sits in front and drives...

on a mountain road...

And the kids in the back shout: "Faster, driver! Faster!"

He doesn't begrudge them the joy, being disabled isn't great.

He accelerates.

In third gear, in fourth... And the kids: "Faster, driver!"

And him? He accelerates, really accelerates.

He flies out of the curve...

He falls down the terraces and into the gorge.

The body crushes him. And the children in unison in chorus:

"He's one of us!"

Shit... Nah, really.

The story is good. - Great joint, Farid.

have you been rolling for a long time - Well...

Since I was four. Didn't I say that? - Oh come on...

I do not smoke anymore. - Yes / Yes...

That's not possible. - But...

It's not my thing anymore. But he likes it, look at him.

You're into it, aren't you?

But I'll tell you, a few years ago

I blew everything for two months.

Shit, weed, shit, weed...

I was pumped, brother.

Didn't your family ever notice?

Oh my family...

That is a long story. I hardly knew my father.

My brothers have their own thing going on.

My mother, poor thing, had several small jobs.

She has toiled. - And the school?

If you're in a wheelchair by the age of four, you don't have much of a problem with school.

But I went to school, even to several. I was in special schools...

in "normal" schools where you are the attraction at the beginning.

But after two or three months, the teachers and everyone don't care about you:

"Come on, sit at the back of the class."

That's really awesome.

You will soon be forgotten.

Like a disabled person.

Hey, what a vibe this is!

Calm down, all good.

Sounds like little Princess Sara. - Exactly, Princess...

"Para".

let me smoke - He thinks that's funny.

That's from the shit.

Here, smoke, buddy.

Give me something too, so I can forget your story.

So that I forget all this shit and your mugs.

Will you pass me the salt, Ben? - No, that's not your joke.

But someone has to replace Steeve.

Where is Steeve anyway? - We do not know.

It's freezing cold today. Is there no heating here?

In the corridors it's like Siberia. And I don't feel like going to the pool.

Toussaint, seriously,

Have you ever felt like going to the swimming pool?

But it's really annoying to go into cold water when it's cold.

I'll come and admire your athletic bodies later. It sure is funny.

So what do you want? You have great arm muscles, but what else?

A torso like Hulk but legs like my 6 year old sister.

Do you have a 6 year old sister now? - No, but you have her legs.

You have to laugh, don't you? He spits everything out again.

That's good. - Give me water.

You only talk shit.

Do you know that? - You're shit. give me water now

Your lucky I'm nice. Not.

Give me water. - Who's the shit now, huh?

Do you see? I want an apology - I'm not thirsty.

What are you doing there?

At some point you will catch fire. - Doesn't matter.

Farid! - I know where Steeve is.

They found him unconscious in the shower room.

He whistled down a bottle of vodka. - Who says that?

Jean-Marie, I'm not supposed to tell anyone, so keep it to yourself.

A bottle of vodka? And who opened the bottle?

You don't know. - Where is he?

In the intensive care unit. He has severe alcohol poisoning.

"So I forget your mugs," remember? - The bottle was empty.

What an idiot!

Maybe he wanted to forget everything for a few hours, stop thinking.

He got drunk and overdid it. I don't know.

That's why you don't secretly drink a liter of vodka in the shower.

How can you do something like that?

Yesterday we were all fooling around. We have each other.

You can't explain something like that.

You can be around people and still be alone. - But...

He hid and did it while we were all eating.

could you do something like that

He made that decision. - Fucking decision.

You have to fight, believe, keep going.

That's easy to say, but sometimes it doesn't go any further.

You're lucky, you're making physical progress, Steeve isn't.

Yes, but as long as there is hope, you must try to move on.

It's a question of temperament.

You don't understand, you're not like that. Good for you.

You will never understand it.

What the hell. Forget it. I'm leaving

Moment!

I spoke to François, he says things are going well. - Yes.

you do your exercises

are always in the swimming pool, it's progressing.

Your upper limbs are getting stronger, that's important.

The hands still need some work, and your right leg is getting stronger too.

Do you see progress? - Yes I see that.

It could go faster.

But I see it. - I think things are going well.

Not everyone on your floor is like that.

How do you envisage the further course, the next year?

Oh well...

If this keeps up, I hope to walk out of here soon.

I will probably continue to study physical education and play basketball.

Gently, Monsieur Vallier, we're not there yet.

With your diagnosis...

you must be slowly realizing

that your life will never be the same again.

A professional future in sports...

needs to be challenged, you need to come to terms with it.

It's hard to admit, but you have to understand

with the sport you practiced,

is it...

over.

It's now about becoming independent again.

Excuse me, I don't understand... Why should the sport be over?

Why do you think that? You said it was progressing.

And I see it myself, the muscles are getting stronger every day.

Why would this stop?

I'm sorry, I don't understand.

In neurology it is known that a muscle

who has not been fully cared for several months after an accident,

has little chance of full recovery.

I know it's very hard to hear that.

but for competitive sports...

We mustn't delude ourselves about that.

But this goal...

It is a very nice goal to become autonomous.

You know, there are many great athletes

who had serious accidents with serious consequences.

And yet they have again...

Finding joy in making an effort.

Hello Julien, are you okay?

My name is Ben Samir. It's really easy to remember.

sorry ben Are you mad? - No, it's okay.

But you can see that you have something.

Yes, you are annoying. please just leave me alone

OK.

Samir? - Yes?

Come back, sorry, come back.

I'm sorry Samir.

That wasn't right. I was just at the doctor's.

There was bad news. I'm sorry.

What did the doctor tell you? - She said...

that STAPS was dead for me.

What is STAPS? - That was...

my sports studies to become a teacher.

Now she told me

that this will no longer work

that I have to think of something else.

I'm even supposed to put basketball out of my head.

Did that make you sad, Julien?

Yes...

very sad Samir.

What should I do now?

I feel like crying, but I can't.

I can't even complain.

Who am I supposed to whine to? Toussaint?

Poor guy can't even lift a fork by himself.

Farid has been in a wheelchair since he was four, what should I tell him?

And me...

I also can't tell my parents what I feel, it would kill them.

I can talk to you, you'll forget everything in ten minutes anyway.

It's normal for you to be sad. You have to keep at it, Julien.

Yes.

I have to stay tuned.

You're right, Samir, I'll stick with it.

I know the doctors. It's their tactic to say nothing.

And they are right. If they had told Ben right away:

"You'll never play basketball again," he would hardly have tried so hard.

Then he would still be in the same state as at the beginning.

He wouldn't have made any progress. - So he stays in a wheelchair?

Watch out, he's coming.

I'll get something to drink. Do you want something?

A soda, please. - And you?

No thank you. - OK. See you soon.

guys I have good news. - Hello, Toussaint.

Steeve will be back next week. - Real? Brilliant!

That's cool! - Look, your buddy!

What does he have? - Have a look around here.

He's in shock.

We're used to the sight. But he sees this for the first time.

Is that awesome, how do you stand it? Everyone is missing a body part.

One wanted to drink, but I didn't know how.

I don't want to brag, but if I know something

then it's rap - Leave me alone.

Ben... pass the salt over, please.

Man, I really didn't miss that.

what about your hair Wasn't there a hairdresser in the hospital?

He's right. I advise you what:

If your body is junk, at least pay attention to your hairstyle.

Why are you doing this to us?

As your therapist, I would go on strike. - He's right, the hairstyle is horrible.

Shut up, you Spakos.

Not being able to jerk off makes you really aggro.

So far so good? - Yes.

What happened to your hair, Steeve?

Do you drive at the weekend or not? - We have to.

you poor ones!

Give everyone a kiss from me, I'm unfortunately prevented.

very funny

Are you going straight to sleep now?

Yes, I get undressed and put in bed to watch a movie.

That's right, there's a great film coming with Serrault.

I'm not sure if Eddy agrees with that. Let's see.

Well then... - See you soon, big guy.

See you in the morning. - Take a break.

Bye. - You must be tired, that must be exhausting.

No, it's okay.

Drive carefully, yes? - Yes.

We'll call tomorrow. - Yes.

Bye.

Monsieur Vallier. - Hello.

i was looking for you How are you?

I stay on the ball.

You were with Madame Challes. - Yes.

She knows you well and knows that you have to get some things straight now.

I tell myself that too.

But it was a tough one.

I think you're strong enough for this now.

Come to me. Thats why I'm here. - Yes.

We don't have to talk about your nightmares and caterpillar phobia either.

Clear.

But this winter is really long. - It'll be nice again soon.

I hope so. Bye. - Bye.

i was looking for you

Man, is it nice to see you!

Really? - No not at all.

Yes, of course!

It's not always a party mood here.

It's good when you're there.

That's great.

That's nice. Understood? Are you doing well?

Why? Yes, I'm fine. Can't you just say something normal?

Sure, in a hallway where nurses walk by...

I'm sorry, the plan was a sunset

and a small convertible.

but there were only wheelchairs and corridors, so I took them.

Since we're talking so openly right now...

I'm also very glad you're here.

It's lucky...

that you are here with me

What?

Nothing, Farid would call us lovebirds now...

Please continue, that was very nice.

We can get along without Farid sometimes. He doesn't always have to be outside.

Will we meet again outside?

I don't know. Whenever you want.

Shall we meet outside?

Yes.

I am in favor. And you?

Me too.

OK.

Three four...

Some people roll joints and I roll in a wheelchair

No not like this.

You're out of rhythm, brother. - "The Snare Drum".

No, I said "Bass Drum", the ones with the bum! - Oh I see!

This is the bass drum. It will not work like that.

Music is so easy! - No idea.

Damn. - Lift...

Did he really get a bullet?

Yes, apparently he's not afraid of firearms.

Why are there only assistants here? Social cases only?

Here's just the scum.

Where are the normal guys, the ones with charcoal?

Don't the fat cats have accidents? Or do they have their own rehabilitation centers?

Farid, have you ever seen people from a normal life here?

No never.

Why aren't there normal people here? 16th arrondissement brat?

What does that tell us? Are we dumber than them?

I have enough.

All right, Steeve?

No, I've had enough.

He can take me. Next time I'll fuck his mother.

We're screwed.

Farid? - Yes?

Be so kind and roll me a joint. I need a drone.

No problem.

Do you see? Crazy only.

Yes, it was him. We have to do something fast.

That's right, it won't stay forever. - Hello.

Hello.

We can trust that.

Secure? - Yes.

We can not do anything. - No, I have to think.

Are you kidding me? Are you serious when you say that. He shot you and you don't want us to do anything?

What should i do?

This applies to the whole district.

If we keep still, it means anyone can shoot us with impunity.

Don't piss me off. - We're fair game.

Don't bother me. We're not doing anything, period. OK?

I'm talking to you. - Yes.

Did that arrive?

What can I say?

We're not doing anything, Saïd.

We do nothing.

i am k o. You're driving me crazy.

We'll let you rest.

I'll call tomorrow and you tell us what to do.

Bye. - Think twice.

Bye.

Bye.

Damned...

Was it about the guy who shot you? - Yes.

So did you find him? - Yes, this morning.

They're keen on what to do.

And you? - I can't take revenge in my condition.

I can't do anything for my wife and son.

I can't go to war.

I have to calm her down. - Can you do that?

I'm out of your game.

How should I protect my family?

The way is blocked for me.

I don't belong anymore, anywhere.

This will help us find out who is behind our guests.

Good evening. - Good evening, I'm Jocelyne.

Good evening, Jocelyne.

Good evening, my name is Philippe. - Good evening, Philippe.

My name is France.

ladies and gentlemen,

welcome to our big tetra boxes!

Greet the opponents.

To my right Steeve, "the rolling butcher"

17 kilos, of which 9 kilos in a wheelchair. 18 fights...

including 25 defeats.

To my right Ben!

The "Tetra '93", that's what it's called. He has 18 fights,

18 defeats and 18 times k. o. in the first round.

You know the rules of tetra boxing: One hand on the gear stick, one out.

May the less weak win!

Ready?

boxing!

Let's go!

Go Steeve!

Natsuco! Natsuco! - Come on!

That's too weak!

Thing-ding-ding-ding!

Complete.

I finished him. - Are you kidding me? Are you serious when you say that!

I finished him! - Clear.

He flattened you.

Difficult to say which of you is the less weak.

The big winner is quadriplegia. - Just wait, I'm about to flatten you.

Oh stop it. - Ben clearly won.

Stop.

Your chick isn't exactly discreet.

She likes you and shows it openly. - What are you talking about?

did something run? - What?

did you get laid - How is that supposed to walk in a wheelchair?

Hello, Monsieur Amlaoui.

Have you ever heard him talk? - No, although I tried.

Also, he's super shy.

He's not shy, look at him.

He seems sad and is always alone. unfortunate.

Yeah, looks like he's lonely. - Yes.

What did you want to tell me? - Because of Samia...

My physical therapist told me something, you should know that.

She didn't have an accident.

That's true about the car

but it was intentional, she drove off a bridge.

Because of her ex, after the breakup.

She couldn't take it.

And since you two obviously like each other,

I thought you should know

Are you okay?

ben? Everything okay?

Yes, yes, everything ok.

I didn't understand her reaction to Steeve's suicide attempt.

We had a stupid argument about what he did.

But it is clear that she is defending him.

I can be such an idiot. Really unbelievable.

How am I supposed to deal with this now?

She wanted to kill herself because of a guy.

You know, suicide is always present here.

He can bring you in here or out.

I'm going for a spin, are you coming with me? - Yes.

Hello Carlita. - Hello.

Understood? - And with you?

Also. - Have you been to the pool?

Yes. - Are you going to eat?

Yes, I'm just taking my medicine. - OK.

Shit, there's no such thing.

eddy

eddy

Jean Marie?

Hello!

Anyone there?

Anyone there?

For pleasure

No more running, no more counting

Take life positively

Without thinking

Just for fun

For pleasure

You can too

drop everything

Allow yourself to suffer as you have suffered

Come on, that sucks.

I come with.

Are you going? Well then, see you. I'm sticking with the real brothers.

At my buddy Toussaint's.

What are you doing? - Don't be a nuisance, just come with me.

are you kidding me

I'll come to the karaoke for you guys, and then I'll sit here alone.

How are you, Samia? - Good.

Shit, that was unbearable.

Guys we should have stayed there's something to smile about.

Too much is too much.

Why doesn't Eddy come down? - He had a bed sore.

He has to lie on his stomach for three weeks. - Nothing is spared him either.

Come on, let's go to the forest.

How? The ground is soft, it's dark, we get stuck.

That's the funny thing about it. - He is right.

Come on, come with me. - Are you serious?

Clear. - Why are you always leaving today? are you crazy

Hey guys!

Cut the shit, what is this? - Don't cry, just come!

I don't have an engine.

You're not a tetra. No half things.

Seriously, where are you going?

Where do you want to go? - Calm down.

What is he doing? Stop!

Don't do that!

Get back on the road! This is dangerous!

Oh, Mowgli knows his stuff, that's his forest.

It's nice here.

Very funny, you guys with your big wheels and electric motors. What shoud that?

I took you to the jungle, nice gift, isn't it?

"Nice present"? What are you talking about? "Jungle"? We live over there.

It'll be nice if one of you breaks down.

Your batteries have been working since this morning.

Those are just details. - What's wrong with you?

You used to calm us down, and now you're starting this crap.

You'll have to do without me soon. I was with Madame Challes.

I'll be released next week. - What?

Where are you going? - To a special nursing home.

A home for the disabled.

why should you go - No progress.

This is a rehabilitation center. I can't go on.

I should accept that by moving.

But research is ongoing, and even walking may yet come.

Walking is the least of my worries.

There are worse things than not being able to walk. - Steve...

Think like a disabled person, not like someone who has no idea.

You hide behind false hopes of research...

bullshit, what do you know?

You think like losers.

Like poor losers in wheelchairs stuck in the woods.

That's what I wanted... - I just believe in research, okay?

I have hope.

Sure, I don't mean that either. It's good to keep hope.

But put your hopes on something else.

For example a family of your own.

That's probably what it's all about.

You have to find new hopes. - Even.

This is difficult for you because you have to realign yourself.

I haven't had to do this in years.

I'm doing fine. Even as a disabled person you can do a lot.

You can experience a lot and have many plans.

Wheelchair or not, what is the best plan for the future?

A family, right? We can do that.

A family? - Yes.

I want to be able to take care of my child.

At three years old it could already do more than me.

Apart from being able to pee alone, I have hardly any plans for the future.

We get special wheelchairs,

special forks,

special phones.

I don't see any special hopes.

You really piss me off. So irresponsible!

Don't you have enough problems?

Take a breath, we were only 50 meters away!

And what if the battery is empty? - No idea.

Me, yes. I have better things to do than wait forever for you.

OK. - Next time you'll have to manage on your own.

OK. - And I won't say good night to you.

OK.

That sucks, stupid ponytail...

eddy

Are you sleeping?

Hope your new home looks better than the cart.

I hope there are women there. - I hope that too.

Speaking of women...

Do me a favor and don't hold back.

Talk to Samia.

You don't just withdraw like that. - I know...

It's no use, I don't know what to say.

It's bad but...

I stay away from her to protect us.

We hear so many negative things.

I'm just here to save my skin.

How do I explain to her that I don't have the strength for a relationship?

The poor girl wanted to kill herself out of lovesickness,

and I should play the lover in the wheelchair?

can't you tell her that - I don't know.

What is he still doing here? Shouldn't you be leaving?

Oh come on, as soon as I'm gone you'll cry like fags.

Is correct. i will cry - Not me.

Hey... don't forget us.

From time to time you should... write to us.

Go away.

Bye, Monsieur Amlaoui.

Bye, brother.

Take care, yes?

OK...

Excellent!

You can slowly grab it.

Your arms are getting stronger. Come along.

We try something.

Not really, right?

Are you sure? - Come.

Should I drive up? - Yes.

OK, perfect.

Put your arms on the bars.

You'll see, it works all by itself.

Come closer.

come on lean on me

I'll help you up, bend far forward.

And lean on your arms. OK...

Well, come on.

Support yourself on your legs, on your left, that's good.

It's not working. - Yes, I'm here. try it

Wait. - The left leg in front.

OK. - Exactly, great, Ben.

The right...

ok, ok...

Come on. - The right one doesn't want to, it doesn't want to.

I'm about to fall. - I'm here.

OK, sit down slowly. Done.

I can't do it, sorry.

Ben, you did it, that was the first step, bravo.

Your legs can do it. You just have to overcome your fear.

Short pause, and again, yes?

I can try. - It worked on your hands.

Yes. - It will work.

Are you still writing?

Yes, every day.

I write line by line Gs and Fs like a first grader.

Corrosive. - Write something else.

Let's move on? - OK.

Here we go.

Contract abdominal muscles, straighten up...

OK!

Damned!

Yes indeed!

You are very small!

Hello Julien. - No, my name is Ben.

Sorry, I have memory problems. - I know. How are you?

Not too bad today? - No, I listen to my music...

Bob again? - Yes.

As long as he's here, we're fine. - Fine.

I drive off. - Take care.

Bye, Samir, see you later. - Yes.

What's up?

why are you avoiding me - I do not do.

Don't take me for a fool

Why are you so aggressive? - I just want you to be honest.

Something is. You avoid me, don't talk to me anymore...

No not at all.

we are grown If I've done something stupid, tell me.

It's not you, you haven't done anything stupid, it's just...

There's no future for us.

"That with us", there is nothing. What should be in our situation?

In our position? In the wheelchair? - No...

As a wheelchair user you are not allowed to be with anyone?

You impose this view on everyone. - I did not say that.

What then? Out with it!

There are many things that make it difficult.

you have your past i mean There are many things...

are you talking about my past

I told you that you have nothing to blame yourself for.

Okay, you think I'm stupid.

It's nothing. You know what?

Keep thinking. Don't change anything!

Won't you please try to understand for a moment?

I'd like to understand why you're thinking about my past.

Hey sunny boy! are you chatting

I have to go. - How?

I have to... - Are you leaving now?

We talk about this later. Promised. - Okay, go away.

Get lost now!

who was the woman - Shall we go for a drink?

There is nothing. Let's go have a drink!

Don't be stingy, we want to toast, we have something to celebrate.

You want to toast with two cans? - Don't listen to him.

There is only what the heck? - What do we say?

To the finals! - Yes indeed!

That you made it without me! Bravo!

I'm really proud of you.

I would have loved to have been there.

I want a full report on the final, okay? - You will be there.

I'll get you a jersey. - Do you have jerseys for the 3rd division?

Not yet, but the design is mine.

You can do it easily. - Unless he's playing Chartres.

be quiet He gets three throws out of ten!

Three out of three! Three points! You last did that under Mitterrand.

Oho! - Great prank, right?

Two cans, that was nice. - Well then, boys...

See you then Ben. - Thanks. Come by when you want.

We will be back. - Brother! See you at the final.

Bye. - Until then.

I'll call you every 5 minutes in the final. - That would be nice.

Then I can root for you. - Until then.

Until then. - Bye.

OK, turn around. pick up the leg

Good this way.

Will you pass me the salt, please, Ben? - Yes.

Hey... not bad!

Congratulations! Honestly...

Bravo, buddy.

Steeve, you can give me my Eminem CD back sometime.

I lost that.

How's that?

are you kidding me You get loaned and you lose it?

Flap! I'll buy you a new CD.

Why "slap"? - Yeah, shut up.

How do you want to buy me a CD?

In your fucking wheelchair? - Let it go.

No. You're nice, you care, and you don't give a shit. - Exactly. So what?

Where do you get the energy to go through all that stress?

We're already in shit.

Ben... look.

Did you know that? - Yes No.

All I knew was that she was making progress.

Ready for the shower?

do you shower me - Yes.

Jean-Marie said you're already showering in the chair.

will you sit me in the chair too? - Yes. Jean-Marie briefed me.

OK.

And off. - OK.

Sit down.

Good this way.

He says you're standing pretty well on your left leg. - Yes, it's better.

Is this OK? - Yes.

And off. - OK.

Everything okay? Crap!

Everything okay? - No.

Crap! Wait.

Wait... - Don't move.

Dont move. Crap.

Does it hurt you? - Yes.

I'll get someone Dont move!

Crap! - Are you okay?

Yes, but like I said, she's going to kill someone else.

Just leave you lying there naked!

Well observed. Thanks.

Christiane!

Hands far forward, swing over...

Appearance... excellent!

Now you can make it into the chair. - Yes.

Remember to do regular hand stretches. - Yes.

That's important, otherwise she'll get crooked.

I'll do that, François, you know that.

Will you brief the physical therapist? - Clear.

Seems only you understand my crooked body.

He'll get your file and I'll call him.

I tell him everything important about your weird body.

I'm kinda scared of going home.

Do you want to stay here forever? After a year you have to continue studying.

Yes. - Now you're making progress without us.

I hope so.

You have to go back to normal life. - Normal life is you, François.

I'm sick of your stupid jokes. Glad you're going home.

You will still miss her.

I have to tell you something.

I didn't want to spoil the mood for you earlier and didn't know

whether I would tell you today or tomorrow.

Toussaint's home called.

He went into cardiac arrest the day before yesterday and couldn't be revived.

I wanted you to know from me.

cardiac arrest...

I'm done for today.

If you want to stay here with me...

What are you doing there? do you smoke now

No, this is for him. - Give it to me, then I'll smoke too.

Please.

Thanks.

The heart attack thing is kinda weird.

He was so depressed when he left.

As if he had given up.

Yes, as if he knew what was coming.

Here.

It's strange, almost three months ago he was still with us.

How is Steeve?

I was with him. He doesn't want to leave the room.

Would they tell us if it wasn't a heart attack?

No idea.

Maybe they won't say anything so we don't feel afraid of getting fired.

Don't worry, you're ready.

I don't know. I don't feel ready yet.

Let's face it, everything goes so fast outside.

And it takes me forever to get into the wheelchair.

Where should I get catheterized?

And it's not just that, but...

being handicapped...

Just the looks of others scare me.

Don't worry, you'll get used to it quickly.

Thanks.

In the beginning people just see you as a disabled person with no personality,

without special features.

Then they talk to you and discover that there

is a person like them sitting in a wheelchair.

And then they realize

that among the handicapped there are bores, scum and pranksters.

Even idiots.

One thing will stick with you for the rest of your life:

your disability.

This will be your first identity. - Here...

Now you've really put my mind at ease, Farid, thank you.

I'm dying to go. - Don't worry, you're ready.

Isn't Eddy there? - No, he had to go to treatment.

But we've already said goodbye.

Mum, will you pass me the CD, please? The card too.

This is for Eddy.

Thanks. - Time to move out!

The view is unbearable. - Finally you admit it.

Can we meet at the entrance, big guy? - Yes.

See you soon. - See you darling.

I wanted to visit the new guy. - Oh man...

"Welcome home" was your first sentence to me.

You were at home here too. - Yes.

It was my home, your home...

It was Toussaint's home, Farid's home...

We haven't talked much about Toussaint, but...

I know it's intense for you... - Let it go.

I do not want to talk about it. - OK.

I don't like goodbyes, I don't like them.

I just wanted to say goodbye to you.

And wish you luck. - Thanks.

Well then...

See you soon. - I hope so.

Bye Steeve. - Bye.

N / A? - Understood?

i saw your parents Are you finally leaving? - Yes.

Make something of it.

Have a nice time outside, not everyone is so lucky. - I know.

And call every now and then. Do not forget me. Help me fuck a few hours.

I'll do it. Any day if you want.

Fine, whatever you say.

Good...

So... thanks for everything Farid.

Oh dear, now comes the first name. Would you like some violins too?

Now it's getting soppy. Better go away, go!

I've seen idiots here, but you're the supreme idiot.

Go away, you know the way. - Go get your cock catheterized.

Same tail. - But mine was already in use.

Bye, virgin!

Still there? Has he changed his mind? - No, he's leaving.

And has he perhaps seen Samia? - No, sorry.

Not all day? - No.

Thank you Jean Marie - Bye, Ben.

Bye.

Shit, they're blocking the whole hallway with their fucking wheelchairs!

Excuse me madam. - Asshole!

You have to believe in that.

There you are, big guy. Everything okay? - Yes / Yes.

shall we go - Yes.

Are you coming? - I'm coming, mom.

Well then, Monsieur Amlaoui, that's it, I'm done.

All the best, Monsieur Amlaoui. - Thanks Ben.

Thanks. - Goodbye.

goodbye

Did you see?

And hop!

Thanks. - Can you do it?

Yes, now it works.

Be careful with your head.

do you drive back a bit

Stop.

Good, thanks.

Alright guys, to me!

Go Go!

We start with the 10, the 5, the 8, the 14 and the 15.

Yes, brother? - All right?

What about you? - Yes.

I'll call you as discussed. - Are you fit?

Yes / Yes. I'll text you halfway through and give you the status.

Absolutely! Isn't the captain too tense?

The tension is already high in the final. But it works.

You can do it. But your orange shoes are the horror.

What? - Your kicks, they suck.

That's not possible, brother.

No! You bastard!

guys, there's ben!

ben!

Why did not you say anything? - I wanted to surprise you.

Everything's ok. - How are you, Ben?

Understood? - Yes. And with you?

All right brother? - Just focus.

Don't worry, here is your place.

You can go mad!

Hello Ben. - N / A?

So guys, focus!

And let's go!

Saint Denis! Together!

No, that's fine.

Just look.

Gentlemen, good game!

Sure, that sucks. It wasn't actually intended that way

Our plans have crumbled, our future is in prison

If intelligence really is the ability to adapt

Then you have to be clever in certain situations

An anvil on your back Feet tied, the wind in your face

It's getting harder to love life and smile

The first game is lost. The player's turn remains

Fate slapped us We won't turn the other cheek

Now it's time to be resourceful with pockets full of courage

Finding new stories Don't waste any more chances

There were many options, we decided

To accept this position And to find new hope

Now we look up Regret flees

We are setting ourselves new goals, albeit with limited mobility

At the end of these hallways There is a light

That's what we're trying to get With a special hope

A special hope Is the persistent will to believe

Even in a hostile environment there can be victories

Five lost boys Still flapping their wings

Finding a taste for sweating Between parallel bars

A special hope Must be able to endure something

With your back against the wall, there's no retreat

It's a survival instinct. You think about moving forward

At the end of something something else begins

After we swam in question marks

Let's dive out of apathy and "reorientate"

At the end of these hallways There is a light

That's what we're trying to get With a special hope

Find hope And don't forget those who suffer

In this quest we are not in the same boat

I had my second chance I can make it beautiful

Still, I often think of the sadness in Noëlle's last smile

Special hope means mourning for everyone else

Keep smiling And let it be in honor of ours

Who carried me figuratively and concretely

Who rearranged their lives to simplify mine

We get special wheelchairs,

special forks,

special phones.

I don't see any special hopes.
