Original subtitles

Samuel? Hurry up if you want to see everything.

Watch out, we're approaching the bridge.

Lower your heads.

Hi, Luc.

How's it going?

- I'm doing well.

Not working today? - No, I've finished for today. Did you see the time?

And how's my dear sister?

- Tired.

They all wear me out.

- Have you come to get milk with your new one? - Yeah.

- Will you join us? - I'll pick up some fruit first.

Am I handsome?

- Of course you're handsome.

- Are you telling the truth?

- Well, you're very handsome.

Why do you always need to be reassured?

- Where does my first name come from—Luc. Does it have anything to do with the forest ranger?

- So why is he asking all these questions today?

Mum, say something.

- Luc, stop talking nonsense.

You know you all have saints' names.

And your sister, Marie, after the Virgin.

Financially, are things better?

- A little, with the child support.

But Clément still has to work a lot and he's not often here.

I can't look after the kids all the time.

Samuel's the toughest.

Consequently, our kids are suffering because of him too.

- He hasn't been with you long.

You just need to give him some time.

Samuel?

Do you want to come and see all my motorbike posters?

- Clément, can I go?

- Dad, can I go too, please? - No, not you, you're grounded.

You were unbearable at the zoo.

You should have thought of that before.

Considering what it cost us.

- But it's not me, it's him. - No, I don't want to hear about it.

Don't be long, Samuel.

We're just waiting for the milk then we're off.

See that one? Isn't it amazing? - Yes.

- Are you wearing Alexis' clothes?

- I don't know.

- I'd better go, or else Clément will get angry.

There you are. Why do you hold it in so long?

Why don't you poop any more?

C, can you bring the plunger back, please?

Good morning. - Good morning, my name is Hélène.

I live at the end of the street, and I go to the same school as Samuel.

My dad told me I could invite him over if I wanted.

- Well—

It's nice of you, but I don't know if he really deserves it.

- We're just going to play for a bit and my dad's at home. Don't worry.

- Do you want to go? I have work to do, anyway.

By the way, I lied.

My father isn't here. He's never here in fact.

What do you want to play? - I don't know.

- I like Mastermind. Do you know it? - No.

You can choose the pieces you want.

So you don't know anyone yet? - No.

You know, my dad hides all sorts of weird stuff in his nightstand.

- Really? Like what? - Come on, I'll show you.

What's that?

Something we're not allowed to look at.

- That's insane.

I'd better go. They're probably looking for me.

- Already? You can come back tomorrow if you want.

- Sure, see you tomorrow.

Cool, it still works.

Where did I put my wallet?

I'm going to end up asking you for charity.

Sorry bro, it's been a bit of a rush this morning.

Alexis should be here soon.

Where are you taking him now? - To a friend's house, to do some work.

He'll earn a little money.

- Ah, here he is.

Okay, work hard. - Thanks. See you later, Sis.

Position yourself to brace against the door.

Don't move.

Alexis will be pleased. He's been asking for this lock for ages.

Thank you C.

- Why do you call him C? - I already told you.

It's his initial, yeah?

Will you be long? - That's it, it's done.

I have to change. - Yes.

- Have you done my lunchbox? - Everything's downstairs with your clean clothes.

- Thanks darling.

- Come on, you, get your stuff. We have to go.

- Right. You have to think about ungrouping.

Come on, hold on, hold on.

Anyway, do what you can.

Don't forget, we have to be ready for the gala.

One, two, three.

Here.

There, that's good. Brace. Feet outstretched. Okay.

Come on.

Stretch your arms. Hold them.

Stretch your arms, here you go.

You're not locking there.

I asked you to lock.

You have to take the position again.

Okay? Come on, at least try to make an exit.

Come on, keep focused.

And go. Go...

It's not perfect, but I'm sure you'll be able to do it. OK?

Have you got your bag? - Yeah. At the back.

- Excuse me. - Yes?

- I'm sorry to insist, but you haven't paid Samuel's licence fee.

It would be a shame if he stopped. He could be really good.

- It's a little difficult right now, but I promise you we'll pay.

- Okay, I'm counting on you.

- Come on, hurry up.

Come on.

What's her name? - Her name is Abbie.

I think she's a little tired.

Do you have a dog? - No.

Would you like to have one? - Yeah.

- What sort of dog would you like? - A golden retriever.

- Yeah? Why? - Because they're beautiful.

Abbie is beautiful too. - Yes.

- So, what do we do now? Want to watch a movie?

- Yeah, why not?

What time is it? - 4am, Madame.

Is it daylight?

- Has my husband come back? - Not for three days, Madame.

All right, let's stop, yeah? - Yeah.

- It's too stupid.

Don't you think it's hot in here?

Come on.

Take off your t-shirt, it's too hot.

Was there a problem?

- Excuse me, but I just found your son in my daughter's room. She was terrified.

- What? Samuel!

He's not my son. - Yes, but he does live here?

Samuel?

Open the door, please.

- No, you'll hit me.

- No, I'm not going to hit you.

I promise you. I just want to talk about what you've done.

- No, I don't want to open it.

- I'm telling you I won't touch you.

I promise.

I don't want to die.

Samuel?

There isn't a single clean pair of briefs left because of you.

I don't know what you're supposed to wear.

Alexis had to put on swimming trunks today. I don't know if you realise?

- Sorry.

Samuel, hurry up!

I have to take a puff, two seconds.

Come on, faster!

Are we going on the boat?

- Yeah.

Hey, that's really a little scary.

Yeah, too much. - Yes.

- Alexis, can you untie the rope so we can go out further, please?

The water's odd. It's all brown.

Oh, it's hot.

Push a little.

Did you push as far as it would go? - Yes.

- You sure? Look.

- Watch out for the shower!

- Shit, we're moving away from the edge.

- Oh damn— - Hey! Help us!

Help us! - Please help!

Help, please!

- You were supposed to be careful! You figure it out!

- Don't worry, I'm here.

- What are we going to do?

- Okay—

Are you okay? - Yep I'm fine.

Are you okay? - Hmm.

Don't tell your parents, okay?

Go on, Sam.

Go and put on your nice clothes.

God, I thank you,

that I am not like the rest of men,

extortioners, unrighteous, adulterers.

But the tax collector, standing far away

wouldn't even lift up his eyes to heaven.

But beat his breast, saying:

"God, be merciful to me, a sinner."

I tell you—

When this man went back down to his house,

it was he who became righteous, rather than the other.

For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled. But he who humbles himself will be exalted.

They were also bringing their babies to Jesus,

that he might touch them.

When the disciples saw this, they rebuked them.

But Jesus beckoned to them, saying:

"Let the little children come to me."

"And do not hinder them,"

"For the kingdom of God belongs to such as these."

I tell you—

Whoever does not receive the Kingdom of God like a little child,

he will in no way enter it.

You may now sit.

Lord, I am not worthy to receive you,

but just say the word and I shall be healed.

Those who wish to take communion, please come forward.

The body of Christ.

The body of Christ.

- Go up.

The body of Christ.

You need to practise for your communion.

Otherwise, what are we going to look like? Go on. - The body of Christ.

The body of Christ.

The body of Christ.

Why are they like that?

Why are there no names on them?

- The ones buried here are those who died in the hospital next door with no family.

So we simply don't know who they are.

You understand?

Let's go.

- Look, kids! - Here's the fish.

- Oh no! - Ahh Come on.

- Well done, Madeleine. - What is that, a pike?

- It's a pike. it must be a good weight. - Five kilos.

- Yes please.

- It was M Courtois' son who caught it.

- Oh but I thought it was— - No no, Mr. Courtois' son caught it.

- I thought it was M Piteau's son.

- No, it was M Courtois' son.

- Do you want salad? - Yes.

- No no, but— - You do this to us every time.

- I wanted to see it. - Go ahead.

- Do the one with the coins.

I like the coin one.

- If he wants to do the coin one.

- You see the coin here? - Yes.

- One—

Two—

- Show us the other hand. - Nice one.

- Mum, did you take out the bones? - Yes.

Are you playing, Luc? - No thanks, I'm going for a walk.

- Go and get the cards.

- Marie, your brother doesn't want to play. - You have to play with us.

- Yes, play with us, Luc.

- No, I'm going to get some fresh air. I've eaten too much. I'm going for a walk.

- You're always alone.

- Here, my little Clément. - Shall I leave you your glass?

Please.

- Is that yours, Dad? - Come on, sit down, Marie.

Are you coming to play with me?

- No, not now. - Okay.

Shall we play hide and seek? - Yeah, cool.

- But we don't hide in the van. - OK.

One, two, three, four,

five, six, seven, eight ...

Nineteen, twenty! I'm coming!

Where are you, Samuel?

Samuel, are you all right? - Okay okay.

- Come on, let's go home.

Mum, Mum!

- What's going on now?

- Sam fell in the nettles. - Unbelievable!

This kid's possessed.

Put your head back, Samuel. That's it

Close your eyes. Try to drink a little.

Further back...

There.

Your arm.

Underneath.

Other arm.

There. It's okay.

It's okay. Show me your back?

All right, that's enough. Samuel, get dressed.

Dimitri, get your father. We'll take the milk and go.

- Now you know where the nettles are.

I SAW YOU

Samuel?

Samuel! - Yeah, I'm here.

- I'm telling you, it's the same every year. The ones born in May go crazy.

It's better to kill them.

Otherwise, the others will eat them.

- You didn't know that, did you. Get in the car.

- All right, have a good trip. Bye.

The school asked me for the payment again. How are we going to pay?

He absolutely must go on the school trip too.

- It's out of the question for him not to go.

He shouldn't be left out when the whole school's away.

I can work some overtime.

I'll do night shifts.

Don't worry.

Dimitri's going, and we can offer Samuel his holiday.

Oh, shit! That'll never come out.

Why don't you go to the toilet any more?

Can you tell me?

Do you think we've nothing to do but buy new briefs every week?

He's doing it again?

I'm going to make him want to go to the bathroom.

Money to wash your briefs?

Well? Is this what you do to us?

While I kill myself at the factory?

Wait C! Stop! Stop! You're going to kill him, stop!

He bruises easily. Have you seen the bruises he has already?

- I have to go, I'm going to be late.

Hey, what's up with you?

Come on in. We'll go to my room.

You know, Sam, you have a really nice smile.

It's when you smile that we see who you are.

- Why do you say that?

- Because the first time I saw you I said it wasn't going to be easy.

You were so closed off. When you smile, your face really changes.

Everything opens up.

- Even with my weird breath?

- Especially with it.

Can you give these to me please? I forgot mine.

- Yes, go ahead, take them. - Thanks.

Have you ever touched yourself with your grips?

- No.

- Have you ever touched yourself? - Sure.

- Are you right handed? - Yeah.

- You should try it with your left.

You'll feel like someone else is doing it to you.

- I already have a girlfriend, it's good.

Samuel! Come on, hurry up, we're expected.

What about your stuff?

We're not sure what to do any more, Mr. Bellamy.

Truth is, Sam was entrusted to us by Children's Services a few months ago.

And my husband and I find him weird.

You know we don't call you for nothing.

- Mr. Bellamy, you know us by now.

- Actually—

I usually understand kids.

That's why I wanted to be a foster mother.

But him—we don't know how to deal with him.

For some time he has been dirty.

It looks as if he's holding back. - It doesn't just "look like" it.

Of course he's holding back, and he does it to piss us off.

- We're afraid Children's Services will think we're treating him badly and take him away from us.

But we need the money they give us. You understand?

- And did you manage to find out why he ended up with Children's Services?

- His father was killed by the police.

An accident, so they said.

- And his mother?

- All right. I want you to think very hard about one memory.

Any memory. Recent, old, good, bad—

think only of this memory.

Only about this image, all right?

Thanks, Sam.

I can't yet see clearly what it is that torments you,

If indeed anything torments you.

We'll need another session, if you're okay with that?

No, gently, gently. Take your time.

- It's not much, Mr. Bellamy, I'm sorry.

- You know you need only give what you can. - Thank you.

Right, kids, as agreed, today we're pleased to welcome Jean-Marc.

He's a former Olympic skiing champion.

And he's here to talk to us about all of that.

- Good morning, boys and girls. Thanks Judith. - Good morning!

It's a great pleasure for me to be here to talk to you a bit about the adventure I've lived.

Like you, I started skiing when I was very young.

And then one day, I became an Olympic champion.

So when we compete in skiing, there are several disciplines.

The discipline of slalom, giant slalom and speed.

I won a medal in speed,

in giant slalom and special slalom.

I have those medals with me. I can even show them to you, if you want.

Pass them around.

It's quite an amazing adventure.

It's true I started ski racing very early, and then—

at your age, when I was at school,

we had sports studies, where they taught us the discipline we needed to—

discover this wonderful sport, skiing.

I've travelled a lot to many countries— I'd be happy to kiss you on the bus tomorrow.

even to South America—

So one thing led to another, and I started to get noticed, and little by little—

well, I was able to take the opportunity one day to be part of the Olympic Games.

Thanks boys and girls, thanks.

- Now, children, you have some free time.

If you want to buy postcards, or a little souvenir, this is your chance.

Meet back at the chalet in one hour. Is that all right for you?

Ok ,good. - Bye!

I love you Mum

Romane? - Yes!

Maya? - Yes!

Mélina? - Yes!

Mémé! Mémé!

Rose? - Yes!

-Candice?

Come on, hurry up, let's go!

Romy?

Zélie?

Ok, great. Samuel?

Orphan! Orphan!

Come on calm down! You don't even know what that means.

- Doesn't matter.. - Bunch of dicks.

Zoé?

Gabriel? Anna?

Good morning. - Good morning!

Here we are, I've brought them back to you.

You all right? - Fine, you?

- Was it good? You see we've had snow here too.

And I saw an accident. - Really?

What kind of story are you telling me now?

- Here, this is for you. - For me?

You're crazy.

Come on, let's go.

That's it, lock.

Okay, come down slowly.

Hold your arms.

That's good.

Stretch, stretch, stretch—

Your eyes—

That's great, Sam. You're making progress.

Right? That's great.

What are we doing today?

- I don't know. Is your father around?

- Yes. All day, for once. We could go to the cinema.

- I don't know if I'm allowed, I've never been there.

- You've never been to the cinema? Well then come on, let's go.

- I'll have to ask Marie for money then.

- Go and ask her. Otherwise, I can treat you. I got my pocket money.

Although—you can't go dressed like that.

- Why not? Do we have to dress up to go to the cinema? - Yes.

- I just put on what my mother left out for me this morning.

- Did you say "my mother"?

- Yes. All right, I'll go and change.

- I don't have any more.

- I really want to go. There's a new film.

You know, if I have nice clothes it's because my father steals them.

- Seriously?

Did your father steal that for you too?

- Absolutely not, no.

Hands up.

You're so stupid, you thought we'd be walking around with a real gun?

You stink! Do you shit with your mouth?

Come on, guys, we're off.

We'll find you. Very quickly.

- Are you okay? -Yeah yeah.

You know—I like the smell of your mouth.

It smells of corn.

Anyway, do you still want to go to the cinema? - Yes please.

Stop! Stop!

Let him go! Come on, go! Get out of here!

Are you okay? - Yeah yeah.

Is that it? That all you got?

He's started again.

Call Luc. See if he can come. The drain must be clogged.

OK.

Alll right, Clément, flush the toilet to check!

- Great! It's working.

Thank you so much.

How much do I owe you? - Stop it, nothing at all. It really wasn't much.

- I can't take any more of this kid.

We won't be able to keep him.

If it wasn't for the money we get—

- Do you want me to take him to the farm for a bit so you can catch your breath?

- Thanks, that's nice of you, but—

it's a bit far from school.

- Whatever.

- Thank you, brother. - It's nothing.

What about you, Samuel?

Aren't you going to thank me?

- Thanks.

- Off you go.

Mum—

How do you feel? What came over you?

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

We'll take care of you. Don't worry.

Good morning. - Good morning.

I came to ask about Samuel. Hélène told me all about it. How is he?

- Everything's fine thank you.

All the tests are normal. We were very lucky.

More fear than harm, as they say. - Good, pleased to hear that.

I'll go and reassure Hélène because she was worried sick.

- Thanks very much for your trouble. I'll tell Samuel you were here.

- Well, if you need anything, don't hesitate.

- Thanks. Bye. - Bye.

Step aside!

Move over, I'm hot.

- Did you enjoy that? Was it good? - Yeah.

- I wish the gym gala could be now.

- It's as if we were there.

Great, Samuel.

So in third place, we have Antonin.

In second place, we have Samuel.

- Well done, Samuel.

Bravo! Bravo. - And in first place, we have Axel!

Congratulations.

Samuel—

Samuel!

- You think it's funny?

What possessed you to do this shit?

Come on, you're going to the farm! I don't want to see you again!

Samuel!

What are you doing? Are you coming? - No.

- Come on. - No!

- Samuel, come on!

That's enough. Come on.

Come on, Samuel. - No!

Don't leave me here! - Come on.

- Don't leave me all alone! - You're not all alone.

Look, we're with you. Samuel!

Anyone there?

At last, here's someone.

Who are you?

- Morning, Emile.

I didn't hear you. - Morning, Madeleine.

- So the rascal's come back?

Don't pay any attention to him, he's completely nuts.

He's driving my daughter and son-in-law crazy.

How much do I owe you? - 17.50, please.

- Here. Thanks for the shopping.

- No problem. - I'll see you out.

Oh, lollipops! I buy one.

For the psycho.

How much is it? - 40 centimes.

There you go, Emile. Thanks. - Thank you so much.

Bye.

- See you next week.

Come here, Samuel.

Clasp your hands and repeat after me.

Hail Mary, full of grace.

Hail Mary, full of grace.

The Lord is with you. - The Lord is with you.

You are blessed among women.

You are blessed among women.

And blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus..

And blessed is the fruit of you womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, mother of God. - Holy Mary, mother of God.

Pray for us sinners. - Pray for us sinners.

Now and at the hour of our death.

Now and at the hour of our death.

Amen. - Amen.

- That's good. Congratulations. You're a good boy.

And you know, if you want to ask me questions about your history—

I don't know much, but I can try to answer you.

- I know my history.

Is that another of Alexis' t-shirts you're wearing?

Boys?

Dimitri?

Samuel?

Luc was killed last night.

He'll never come back.

We'll write a note for school, but get your stuff ready.

We have to go to the farm.

I remember the first time I saw you.

It was on the low wall. - Yes.

I remember too.

They promised we wouldn't see anything.

Death against a tree It's not for you.

It's still strange his fish are dying today too.

- I heard a song on the radio.

I think it's an old song, but I found the lyrics.

I thought it would be good for the funeral.

I'll read them to you.

"It's not easy to look at a picture of you."

"It's not easy not to cry when I think of you."

"I don't want to tell myself it's all over."

"I don't want to tell myself you're gone."

"That you're there, all alone, up there, in Paradise."

"It's not easy to enjoy life when it's taken everything from us."

"To look for you in this house where we grew up."

"Around us, everything keeps going on."

"Even if the others get used to it,"

"Here, Mum will never be like before."

"It's not easy."

"It's not easy to imagine you won't be here any longer."

"It's not easy to forget the tone of your voice."

"I want to live my life again with you."

"I want to have you in my dreams."

"And to build a world where nothing is finished."

"It's not easy to sing this song, you see."

"It's not easy not to cry because it's talking about you."

"You didn't have time to be a hundred years old."

"You didn't have time to give us a child,"

"and to give this child the name of our parents."

"It's not easy."

"It's not easy to look at a picture of you."

"It's not easy not to cry when I think of you."

"I don't want to tell myself it's all over."

"I don't want to tell myself you're gone."

"That you're there, all alone, up there, in Paradise."

"It's not easy."

"It's not easy."

"Not easy."

It fits really well.

With the music, it'll be beautiful.

Samuel—

A stray dog managed to get into the house last night.

It was horrible. It made a mess everywhere.

I spent the morning cleaning.

Could you come and help me put it on?

I asked the priest to give Luc a little mention at church.

Will you think about him too?

I love you Mum

Fortunately, our little neighbour wasn't hurt.

A few stitches, that's all.

His father accepted Samuel's apology.

We were very scared.

We're awaiting a decision from Children's Services.

They asked if we wanted to stop.

But in spite of everything, we got attached to the kid, you know?

We need the money he brings us.

So Sam—

you'll now focus—

on an image.

If you feel others coming, let them come.

Try to keep your eyes open, okay?

So that I can look into them. Please.

Lunch time, boys. - We're coming.

Oh, look, there's a lamb.
