MAN IS A WOMAN

DIRECTED BY JEAN-JACQUES ZILBERMANN

Simon! I knew you'd come.

Moms just know these things.

I just came to see my cousin.

I'm so happy!

Me too.

You could at least say it like you mean it.

You don't look good.

Fanny, Simon's here.

Not everyone, Mom!

Simon's here.

He looks just like his father.

Mazel tov!

-Mazel tov! -She doesn't matter.

I want you to meet my new friend.

No need for Xanax with her!

I just came to see David, then I'm gone.

Hi, Cousin.

Supposed to be four.

If not for weddings, we'd never see you anymore.

Get married.

How's David's wife?

You'll love Nathalie, she's a great girl.

You need one like her,

who'd take care of you with a lot of gentleness and psychology.

Mom, did you forget already?

Please only talk about that in English.

It is definitive!

Peekaboo!

I'm warning you, this wedding's boring.

Simon's here!

What a surprise! Did you know he was coming?

An intuition.

A shame you missed the synagogue, it was beautiful.

I love weddings.

If not for your aunt, I'd get married every year.

Hello, Nephew.

So, when are we meeting her?

It's your turn.

Why do we never see you? Are you ashamed of your family?

You should come to your uncle's birthday party.

Well, I'll have a bite to eat, or I'll pass out.

You get more and more handsome as you get older.

You're making your mother suffer.

She doesn't deserve that, she's already suffered enough.

Salomon, mind your own business.

True, it's none of my business.

That's right.

Are you still making music?

Can you let go of me?

We need to have a serious conversation.

He's right. You can't just have fun all your life.

Simon!

I'm glad you're here.

-Will you promise me something? -Tonight, anything you want.

Don't get fat. Always stay sexy.

I have no intention of changing.

It's like a rule. As soon as men get married, they get fat.

Did you hear that?

Come with me.

So, what do you think?

My son!

Your cousin's handsome.

Yes, very handsome.

-I need to talk to him. -Go ahead.

Are you kidnapping me?

I've been racking my brain about your wedding gift.

The best thing I can give you is the truth.

I don't see you much these days. You have your life, I have mine.

To each his own. And you know

I don't like family drama.

-What are you looking for? -Nothing.

Is there any whisky?

Have you read Robertson Davies?

No, but I finished the other one,

The Messes of the Heart. I'll give it back to you.

Davies says that a marriage involves not two, but four people.

Sure, we can talk about it another day.

Of course, there a man and a woman, as in all marriages.

But there's also a woman hidden in the man

and a man hidden in the woman.

So it gets more mysterious.

And more funny.

It's worth thinking about, isn't it?

On my wedding day?

Yes, it's now or never.

I don't know what you're doing, but you're pissing me off.

Nathalie must be wondering what we're doing behind screens.

I don't have much trouble meeting guys.

Why did I end up with you?

That's really bad luck.

As soon as I fall in love with a man, he likes women.

Don't start again!

David!

I've always loved you.

Sorry, but they're waiting for me.

Maybe it's not you I love, but the woman in you.

-I have to go. -Hold on.

-I want to kiss you. -You've had too much to drink, Simon.

Don't deny me that on your wedding day.

Come here.

Kiss me, then I'll go back to my guests, OK?

What's the matter with you?

Simon, never do that again.

I can't stand it when a guy touches me.

You're masochistic.

I'll leave you to your happiness.

There he is! Simon!

There he is!

Guess what your cousin would like for his wedding.

Not the clarinet. I haven't played in...

Simon!

If you don't want to play for me, that's fine.

Play in your father's memory.

It's been a while. Did they give you the virus?

Come on!

Come on, Simon!

Play!

Shh!

Shpil klezmer shpil

-Who is it? -Your uncle, open up.

I can't. You should've called.

I need to talk to you. It's serious, it's about your mother.

-Is she dead? -No, idiot.

Give me some coffee.

Don't like to tidy up, do you?

You should air it out a bit.

So what's wrong with my mother?

She loves you.

You came up here to tell me that?

Don't you have a cigarette?

Thanks.

Listen, Simon,

almost our entire family was exterminated.

You're the only boy we have left.

You can't let our name disappear.

Don't worry, David's working on it.

David is an Applebaum, not an Eskenazy.

The phonebook's full of Eskenazys.

Not with a Y.

Your aunt Esther and I couldn't have children.

What a tragedy for two people who loved each other so much.

Maybe it was God's will.

I can't stand it anymore! I have to pee.

Hey!

-Hi. -Hi.

-How are you? -Good, and you?

Fine.

I am as God made me, in his image.

Don't bring God into this.

-Where is it? -That way.

Can you put some clothes on?

Do you have any clean clothes? Especially socks.

Later.

Would you mind closing the door?

I think things are clear.

We all have our little faults.

Not bad.

Aren't you living beyond your means?

It's not your uncle, but your banker talking to you.

It's going to get cold.

It was so nice to listen to you play last night.

I thought I saw your father. You play exactly like him.

Yeah, right.

A perfect copy, huh?

The older you get, the more you'll look like him.

You can't escape your family, that's the way it is.

With your clarinet,

you could make a good living playing at weddings.

The happiness of newlyweds makes me sick.

That's your problem.

What I came to tell you is much more important.

I think about your future.

I have a proposition for you.

If you get married, Simon,

I'll transfer 10 million francs to your account.

Look, Salomon, you're wasting your time with me.

I'm beyond repair.

I never make a commitment lightly.

Ten million while I'm alive, and that's not all.

I'll leave you my mansion, after my death.

All I ask is that you let your aunt enjoy it.

You're breaking my balls.

He's a very generous man.

He paid for everything at David's wedding.

Listen, my darling, I put myself in your shoes.

It's not that complicated.

Get married,

take Salomon's money, then get divorced.

Face it,

your life's not easy.

You already have a hard time meeting someone,

it won't get better as you get older.

You'll be very lonely.

And your mother won't live forever.

If you have to suffer, it might as well be in luxury.

Ten million is a huge amount, Simon.

When I think of his mansion, I get dizzy.

And I get nauseous.

I know your problem with women.

So let me do it. I'll take care of it.

What if she gets attached?

I'm not too worried, I know you,

she'll divorce first.

I only want your happiness.

I love you as you are, sweetheart.

You really don't get it.

You still talk to me like I'm disabled.

So?

Do you know what it cost me to have a gay son?

Thirteen years of psychoanalysis.

Do you want me to pay you back?

I hope you won't forget your poor mother when you're rich.

I don't see what the problem is.

If you're attracted to men,

don't mind me, but get married first.

I liked it better when you played the clarinet.

Thanks.

Where did you hear me play?

At your cousin's wedding, I thought you were amazing.

My name is Rosalie Baumann. I admire you very much.

Your mother told me where I could find you.

She didn't waste any time.

I asked her.

I shouldn't have?

Listen... Rosalie? Let's talk straight.

Are you worried about money right now?

Just like everyone else.

What's your plan, I wonder?

I don't understand why you say that.

I wanted to tell you something.

I think you're worth a lot more.

I don't know what you're doing here.

You'd already be famous in New York.

You don't have to go to all that trouble.

You don't understand, this is my specialty.

Professionally?

It's my job, I love it. I've been training for years.

I want something.

Would you wait for me?

Let's drink champagne together.

Don't look at me this way.

Don't bother, it's hopeless.

I'm not to be married.

-I don't understand. -Of course you do.

You're a great klezmer player.

It's like sacred music for me.

Is that why you're here, for my clarinet?

-I don't believe it. -I do.

What exactly do you do for a living?

Would you like to hear me sing?

Now?

I'm doing a small recital in Beauvais,

at the Paul Vaillant Couturier multipurpose center.

What?

I'll try to come. It's far, isn't it?

No, there's a map on the back, it's very simple.

"Songs and Laments of Yiddishland by Rosalie Baumann."

It's part of the week dedicated to Yiddish culture.

Stop.

What "stop"? I have a very nice soprano voice.

Rosalie, I hate ghettos,

I hate them.

This sadness dripping in the violins is disgusting.

Dripping?

That's what I said.

I guess we're done then.

This is exactly what you need.

Trust me, Rosalie is the ideal prey.

She knows nothing about men, it's obvious.

With an uptight girl, you have every chance.

And she loves your clarinet.

-You're a monster. -Do you think so?

You're the monster.

You'd let your mother keep working here?

Reassure me.

Thank you, have a nice day.

How do you find her? Is she really dumb?

She's in charge of the Yiddish culture week in Beauvais.

That's perfect. It's just what we need.

Who is it?

Simon.

It's late.

It's an emergency.

What's going on?

I hope you didn't come to play the clarinet for us.

It's your wedding gift.

Isn't that your father's clarinet?

-Hi, Simon. -Good evening.

It's the best place for it.

Do you like it at least?

Yes...

I'm a little embarrassed, I'll never use it.

I'm sure your cousin

will be happy to give you private lessons.

I wish you were an artist like Simon.

Do you want something to drink?

No.

Do we tell him?

Of course we do.

David and I are expecting.

We'd like you to be the godfather.

Simon, are you OK?

I have a headache all the time.

Do something, he's pale.

Take off your shirt, I'll have a look.

How much whisky did you drink tonight?

That's not it.

It has nothing to do with it.

-Give me your arm. -It's been since your wedding.

Remember when you pushed me?

I fell very hard, I hit my head.

Since then, I've been in constant pain.

Aspirin had no effect on me.

Plus, I think I have a hearing impairment.

Your blood pressure is fine.

For example, when you talk in front of me, I hear you behind me.

Breathe in.

Deep.

Now you're talking behind me and I hear you in front of me.

It's not serious, you're pregnant, my poor girl.

I finished, Robertson Davies describes the same symptoms.

Don't mess around, my head's pounding.

Come here.

I didn't have a picture with you two.

Here.

Thank you.

Don't take these pictures. Nathalie loves them.

Aren't you a little narcissistic?

Can I ask you something?

Yes.

Come closer, don't be afraid. I'm not going to rape you.

I'm warning you, if you touch me, I scream.

How do you manage to be happy?

It's very simple: she loves me, I love her.

It's that simple.

Swallow it.

Good night, Simon.

-Light off? -Yeah.

Eskenazy Bank can no longer grant you an overdraft.

Your rent check was returned unpaid.

I'm sorry, but you have to give me your checkbook

and pledge to cover your debt.

Do you have an appointment?

I have a problem on the sixth floor.

Can I talk to you?

Excuse me.

It's nobody's business.

There's nothing to discuss, it's yes or no.

Do I have to get married to get my credit card back?

You're wrong to despise money.

No, the rich despise money, not the poor.

Do you know why you're angry?

Because I made you doubt.

You'd like to say yes to my proposal.

You can't stand it. So you blame your uncle.

You make yourself feel better by thinking I'm an asshole.

Yes.

Do you really think that?

Yes.

You want me to tell you what you are?

Faggot!

Don't hold back!

Tell me I'm a dirty Jew, too!

I'm fine.

Dirty Jew!

A young girl

wanted to make varnishkes.

It's pasta shaped like a bow tie.

But she still needed four ingredients: flour,

a board to roll the dough

and an oven, of course.

And the fourth,

a bachuwr,

a boy to eat the varnishkes.

You came all this way to come see me!

I can't believe it either.

Do you regret it?

No, not at all.

How did you get to that point?

I mean to that intensity in your voice.

It's very simple.

I went to Brooklyn as a child.

I was five

and my grandmother was singing in the kitchen.

I asked my mother: "What is she doing?"

My mother said: "She's singing."

What was she singing.

-You really want to know? -Yes.

It's really beautiful.

He's making fun of me.

Come on, sing with me.

Together?

Yes, go for it, loosen up a bit.

Come on!

Careful!

-Can you really see the road? -Actually, half of it.

-Thank you. -No, thank you!

-What floor do you live on? -On the top floor.

-Good night, Rosalie. -Good night.

You know what would make me happy?

No, you're going to tell me.

To see you a bit more relaxed with me.

I'm very relaxed.

If you want, I'll invite you

for a drink, as a gentleman.

I'd love some tea.

Tea?

This way.

Is it the wrong key?

No, but they changed the lock.

They can't do that, it's your home.

Yes, it is.

Motherfucker, he's really a motherfucker!

-Sorry. -It's alright.

Who's the motherfucker?

What is it?

It's Rosalie, breakfast is ready.

-What time is it? -7 a.m.

-Are you going to go back to sleep? -No, I'm coming.

-Did you sleep well? -Moderately.

Sorry, I've been getting up very early since I was a kid.

You get used to it, you'll see.

You just have to go to bed early.

Don't you think we should be on first-name terms?

Yes, why not?

-Sorry, I forgot. -My throat is sensitive.

It's like heating, I turn everything off.

It dries out my vocal cords. It's much healthier.

I was thinking it wasn't very warm here...

In your house.

What's this?

A humidifier, for my voice.

Come on, I'll show you the bathroom.

You have to go through my bedroom.

So if you stay here for a while,

we'll work out a schedule.

We'll also have to agree on an amount for rent.

We'll do something very symbolic.

Would you like to start the day with a nice shower?

Yes.

That's my American side.

I put a towel by the tub for you,

small towels by the sink.

There are disposable razors here.

There's a toothbrush there.

There's a brand new soap.

I want everything to be perfect, but in life,

nothing is ever perfect.

It reminds me of my father.

I wish he could hear you play the clarinet.

Do you want me to tell you how I felt listening to you?

I'm not lying, the body never lies.

But I was so moved

that I felt it in my body.

Look, just thinking about it gives me goosebumps.

Do you want to take a bath together?

I don't think you understand.

You may want to, but I'm not that kind of person.

I'm not the kind of girl you fuck in a bathtub.

Alright, I prefer showering anyway.

It's best if the basics are clear between us.

-How much is this symbolic rent? -2,500.

Any more questions?

Tea or coffee?

Coffee.

Simon?

I'm in the shower.

I wanted to apologize

for being a bit dry earlier.

Not at all. This way, everything is clear between us.

You're a really great person.

Thanks, so are you.

Simon, tell me if you think I'm being annoying.

I promise.

No, that's for the meat.

"You shall not cook the lamb in its mother's milk."

That's the dairy knife.

Don't look at me like that, I'm very religious.

Without religion, my life would make no sense.

I pray regularly, I eat kosher.

For the shabbat, I light candles

and I stop working. I hope that's not a problem.

No, I think it's admirable.

And in the field of sexuality, where do you stand?

I'm unbeatable.

Not to brag, I've read everything. Nothing can shock me.

If it amuses you,

I can recite all the positions by heart.

You mean you know them by heart, in theory?

Of course.

You scared me.

Even if it means looking like an endangered species,

I decided to remain pure for the man I'll marry.

Do you think it's old-fashioned?

No, I actually think it's great.

You really think so?

You have no idea how much you're the perfect woman.

Maybe it's nothing.

But at night, I hear voices.

It's not really someone talking,

more like noises in my head. It sizzles and whistles.

When did it start?

Since I decided to get married.

-With a man? -No, with a real woman.

Lie down.

Tell me,

do you promise to tell me the truth?

I think we'll have to keep you.

I knew it.

It's nothing, your sinuses are a bit blocked, that's all.

Very funny.

It's just some sinusitis.

That's all?

It must be Rosalie's humidifier.

You're better now. I'm going to see my real patients.

I have one more favor to ask of you.

I'm really embarrassed.

I need my clarinet back.

I know, it's not very elegant of me to ask.

-I thought it was a gift. -Yes, don't make it worse.

I don't get it. Did you give it to me or not?

-Yes, I gave it to you. -Then it's mine.

Yes, in theory.

You're going to be very upset with me, but I sold it.

That's disgusting, it was my father's clarinet.

It was just too much of a gift for me to bear.

Ladies and gentlemen, we're now on lot 127.

It's a silver clarinet.

It's a B flat clarinet, Boehm system,

manufactured in England around 1904.

That's the one.

The price will be 3,000 francs.

It's too expensive.

Do I have a buyer? Yes, the lady with the hat.

3,500, the gentleman with the plaid jacket.

4,000 for the lady with the hat.

4,000 going once, twice. 5,000 over here.

5,000 for the gentleman with the pocket.

8,000 for the gentleman with the plaid jacket.

We have 8,500 over here, 9,000 over there.

Anyone else?

10,000 for the gentleman with the pocket.

-Let's go. -The bid is now 10,000 francs.

10,500 for the lady with the hat.

11,000 for the gentleman with the pocket.

Another bid?

-13,000? -15,000!

I want your clarinet, I'll get it.

-I want to touch it. -Calm down, Rosalie.

Show it to me, Simon.

That's impossible, we need to pay for it first.

-How high did it get? -30,000.

Are you sure?

I am. Look.

-Are you feeling better? -Yes, thank you.

It's gorgeous.

To think you almost lost it.

-Rosalie? -Yes.

Can I kiss you?

In front of everyone?

I don't care about people, only you exist.

It's the first time...

Kissing a boy?

-A boy I like, yes. -Me too.

What do you mean?

I mean it's the first time I've kissed a girl in public.

It's very exciting.

Are you a pervert?

Do you know what I want?

I thought it was forbidden by religion before marriage.

Not that, I want to introduce you to my parents.

Isn't that a little premature?

No, on the contrary, it's very urgent.

Would you play something just for me?

My father will probably consider you a stranger. It's normal.

He's just afraid you'll steal his daughter from him.

Don't worry, just be yourself, be very simple.

Don't cheat, don't overdo it, that's all.

It's that simple.

My father is never wrong with people.

We're in America.

That's your father?

He's the one at the register.

That's going to be fun.

Here's my father.

Mordechai Baumann, Simon Eskenazy.

-You're not kissing? -We don't do that.

You left New York against my will

and dare come back with a stranger.

Dad!

What did he say?

Are you interested in my business, or my daughter?

Your daughter is an exceptional person, Mr. Baumann.

You gave her charm, beauty, intelligence

and something extra that isn't easy to define.

Where did you get this schmiel?

What did he say?

Dad!

He's a great artist.

Just what we needed!

That's my brothers,

Samuel,

Elisser

and the youngest is Daniel.

I never want to see him in here again!

What did he say?

That we're bothering his clients.

So you met my husband?

He's a rough man.

He can be a little gruff.

I prefer someone like him

who hates hypocrites.

Me too.

You're attacking a fortress.

-You mean your daughter? -No.

The Baumann clan.

Rosalie's father is not the only one,

there's also her brothers.

They're all very possessive of her.

They're right,

their sister is more fragile than she looks.

They were very affected when she left for Paris.

I helped her on the sly, sending a little money.

In this day and age, it's so rare

when a young girl believes deeply in love.

I hope you believe in it as much as she does.

This is a new feeling for me.

If you're really the chosen one,

it'll be the best day of my life. I'll love you like a son.

I'm counting on you to help me out.

No, my boy.

You'll fight this one alone.

Count on the strength of your feelings for my daughter.

I trust you.

Not like the last one she presented to us...

Benjamin!

He didn't last long!

My husband wouldn't even talk to him.

Yitshak took care of it.

Yitshak tested him?

You don't know him.

He's not mean, but...

excessively impulsive. He doesn't realize how strong he is.

And?

He broke his arm, it just snapped.

-Can I talk to Rosalie? -Absolutely not.

Stay with me.

If my husband catches you with her in the house,

I prefer not to imagine...

Can you hand me the pan, please?

He's fair, tough.

Thank you.

Your mother forced me

to tolerate this man at our table.

But once the meal is over, you'll tell him

to go back to his hotel and never come back here again.

Enjoy your meal.

Let's wash our hands.

Yitshak!

Please leave your sister be.

Omen.

Omen.

Don't you have your kippah?

There's no need to pretend.

Simon, I'm begging you.

Don't give up now. Make an effort for me.

I'm begging you.

Please, Simon.

I forgive you, my daughter.

You'll always be my little Rosalie,

but never do what you just did again.

Never.

I'm very proud of you.

You don't seem happy.

I'm fine, sweetheart.

It's a lot of emotions

on top of the time difference.

Who are you sleeping with?

With Daniel.

They had a fight. They ended up drawing lots.

I'm with your little brother.

He's not so little, he's 18 years old.

-Did you see how muscular he is? -No.

Not yet.

-Can I come in? -Yes.

We just need to leave the door open.

Daniel is a lovely boy,

rather introverted, but very delicate.

I shouldn't say it, but I think he's my favorite.

Stop, Simon.

I'll never forget what you just did for me.

Stop it, Simon. I want you too much.

-Me too. -Please.

Stop.

Leave.

Sorry.

I love you.

I'm going crazy.

Stop, Simon.

I'll give you a pill to sleep.

Here.

No, we must resist.

Not before the wedding.

Take this. You'll need it again.

Can't we sleep together in your room?

Even if we do nothing.

If we do nothing, it's even worse.

Stop it.

I'm so unlucky!

Nothing!

The groom shouldn't see the dress before the synagogue, it's the law.

-Is it bad? -It's not that bad.

You're handsome.

Women shouldn't say this, but I don't care, I want you.

I love you and I'm happy.

I can't imagine my life without you.

Don't you feel the same way?

It's a classic. With this dress, you'll please everyone.

I don't want to please everyone.

Don't you feel the same way? What do you think?

I think I liked the other one better. It was sexier, wasn't it?

Take the most expensive one, if it pleases you, Mr. Eskenazy.

Your uncle is paying.

Sometimes I think you're too good for me.

You always say that.

I'll let you think about it.

There is one thing you've never told me.

I've never heard it from your mouth.

You've never told me: "I love you."

I love you, my Rose.

Are you OK? You're so pale.

I feel a little nauseous.

I think I have something.

I have pills for the plane.

Simon?

I feel like crying.

Stop that right now.

You're hard on me, you never let anything go.

I'll remind you that it's a phony wedding.

Sorry, I got carried away.

I don't know what I was thinking.

-Shalom. -Shalom.

My friend.

Rosalie...

Thank you.

Come.

Rosalie, wait.

Sit down.

I've never slept with a girl.

I don't believe you.

I swear it's the truth.

-Do you have a problem? -No, that's not it.

It's wonderful.

This way, we're both virgins.

As a wedding gift, I couldn't have hoped for better.

We can't get married.

What do you mean?

I'm a virgin with girls, but not with boys.

Active or passive?

Oh no!

I'm sorry, Mordechai,

but your daughter stinks of whisky.

That's impossible.

She hates whisky.

How can we be so blind?

Your Rosalie is drunk, Mordechai.

Completely plastered! And so are you, actually!

I'm sure that'll loosen her up!

With the upbringing she's had, she sure could use it!

Hannah, I forbid you to say that!

Keeping my mouth shut, shut!

I've kept my mouth shut for 30 years.

I'll say whatever I want now, understood?

Well spoken, Mom.

We're with you, Mom.

Death to the tyrant!

I have a question for you,

a terrible question.

Be sincere in your answer.

I want to hear nothing but the truth.

Come, sit down.

Do you think I'm a strict man?

A little, yes.

That's what I thought.

Simon,

God put you in our path.

Don't exaggerate.

He did, I know what I'm talking about.

I was too hard on my own.

If Rosalie hadn't met you...

Just look at how she's already changed,

thanks to you.

That's why I'm entrusting her to you,

to you

and no one else.

You haven't forgotten your promise, have you?

Not at all, Simon will get his gift at the birth of his first child.

You said at the wedding!

At the birth of his first child, God is my witness.

You said the wedding!

How are you? You're as handsome as a god.

My head is spinning.

We need to hang the "Do not disturb" sign.

Hang whatever you want, my love.

Are you coming?

Be right there.

What are you looking for?

The "Do not disturb" sign.

Come help me take my dress off.

Come.

Can I undress you?

Here.

Can you feel how fast my heart's beating?

I'm sorry.

I feel like I'm experiencing a great moment.

It reminds me of the first man to walk on the moon.

After all, it's wonderful,

I'm the first woman you'll make love to.

After me, there'll be no other.

It's wonderful to feel unique in the world.

Can I stroke your buttocks?

Women are often attracted to men's buttocks.

Yeah, I get that.

You should take your shoes off.

Can I keep my kippah on?

Stop, I feel like you're going to give me a shot.

I'm not your nurse.

I'm just telling you what turns me on the most.

Right now, what turns me on is your butt.

The rest scares the hell out of me.

Men have always scared me with their big thing.

How's yours?

I'll lie down then.

Do you have an appointment?

I have a problem on the sixth floor.

Can I talk to you?

Don't do something you'll regret for the rest of your life.

There's no point in shouting.

Say what you have to say calmly.

One day, when I'm gone, you'll thank me.

I'm not dead yet.

I thought about it. I don't want to accept anything from you anymore.

I can take care of myself. Besides, I'm not alone anymore.

If I ever have kids,

I don't want them to be spoiled by your money.

You'll have to make a kid to start with.

I don't want a child, I want children.

I won't bother you anymore.

Have a good day at work.

It's the Robertson Davies syndrome.

What is it?

It's something I read in one of his novels,

The Bloody Messes of the Heart.

He explains that when you have desire for someone,

a man or a woman, it doesn't matter,

there comes a time

where the desire is so strong,

it keeps building up,

we want them so much

that sometimes you get stuck.

I haven't read that one.

What's next in the program?

Plélan-le-Grand.

It's a small town, but it's worth the trip.

I'll admit that they're old, but they pay very well.

Can you stop wrinkling that dress, please?

I think you've made real progress,

especially in the second part.

And I was right,

as soon as you sing from your gut, it's more right, more moving.

And you don't have to force your voice.

It was an amazing performance.

We sold two tapes.

What's our split?

I won't even mention the agency commission.

Stop doing that, I don't like it.

Stop it!

You're very unfair.

This dress looks great on me.

Simon, can you, just once,

behave like a man?

-You want to see a real guy? -Yes.

Stop looking at me like that.

I'm writing down little things that pop into my head.

You have to stop obsessing over it.

It will come when it comes. I'm very happy.

We've already come a long way together.

Maybe we need time to love each other physically.

Maybe a lot of time.

That's OK, we have our whole life ahead of us.

Maybe she doesn't know how to deal with men.

Can you talk about something else?

When you're in each other's arms, when you hold her against you,

when you smell her perfume, what do you feel?

Physically, I mean.

Have you ever slept with a woman?

-Awful! -Imagine then.

Bye, ma'am.

Bye ladies, see you tomorrow.

-I actually can't. -Be quiet then.

I'm sure deep down you're dying to have a child.

Yes, it's true, especially with her.

Remember that your uncle's proposal still stands.

Have you decided to remain poor all your life?

Are you thinking about me, or about yourself?

How was Aznavour? Did you have a nice evening?

You stink of whisky.

Don't make a scene

because I spent an evening with my mother. Ridiculous.

I'm not making a scene.

My parents called, they said hello.

Me too.

It was my birthday today.

I'm sorry, I'm such an idiot.

We won't talk about it.

How can I make it up to you?

You can sleep.

Don't overdo it, Simon.

My birthday was yesterday, so turn off the lights.

Simon.

Does Rosalie know you're gay?

Of course, she knows everything about me.

-But you still have sex? -Of course.

Often?

I didn't count,

but since the wedding, on average once a day.

Curiously, I enjoy it.

She does too, actually.

I think I'm going to get a divorce.

I'm serious. Nathalie and I made a mistake.

We don't have much in common.

You two have a strong connection

through music and sex too.

The worst part is that I miss her.

-Do you want Rosalie to talk to her? -Absolutely not.

What are you going to do?

I don't know, I'm too depressed.

If you want some time, you can move here.

No, I'll just end up annoying you with the state I am in.

You're still my favorite cousin.

David?

David.

-David? -Damn it!

Sorry, I forgot where I was.

Can you get dressed?

Sorry, I forgot.

I'm sure you know what you're doing.

You have a twisted mind.

-Did Nathalie call? -No.

I can't stay here without a phone.

I gave the ER your number, is that alright?

This is your home.

Simon,

thanks for the croissants.

You forgot to put this in the basket.

What a shame.

I'm sure David would love to eat some nice crunchy grapes.

It's OK, he has everything he needs.

I trust you.

He's lucky.

I've never had the grand hotel breakfast.

Don't look at me like that. I'm not making a jealous scene.

David is my cousin.

That's all?

He's also always been my best friend.

Is that all?

Do you want to know if we had sex? The answer is no.

It's funny, I just talked to Nathalie.

She really has doubts.

You're amazing,

you see gay men everywhere.

Rosalie, the vast majority of men like women.

A gay David is completely absurd.

Don't tell him that right now, he's already on edge.

Poor thing.

That boy is very fragile, to think of it.

He's all muscles.

But he's all Prozac inside. That moves me a lot.

Hi.

Hello.

Simon told me I could take a shower.

Yes, make yourself at home.

Go through our room, into our bathroom.

It's a straight shot.

Thanks.

You've never had the slightest desire,

the most minute, the most unconscious? Be honest.

No, I've searched, but I don't see anything.

Have you ever looked at a guy you thought was handsome?

I have, but that has nothing to do with it.

Your lack of curiosity amazes me.

Every man should experience it

at least once in his life.

To be, for a few moments, a woman in the arms of a man...

Stop, just thinking about it makes me sick.

Are you OK, Rosalie?

I'll go take a shower.

What's this?

That's not kosher.

No, but I've always wanted to eat one.

I decided to stop doing Shabbat too. It no longer makes sense.

For me, it's linked to the image of a united family,

the father, the mother, the children.

Do you have a cigarette?

I also noticed that you're drinking more and more.

That's true.

Women often drink because of men.

Do you want to try just this once?

It'd help me get rid of you once and for all.

It's not stupid, think about it.

As you have no desire for me,

if we fuck, it's bound to be a flop.

Yes,

but then I can watch you come and go naked,

it won't affect me anymore.

I will be cured.

Cured...

I can't say that.

It's too masochistic.

Simon, can you come here?

Simon!

What is it?

Do you want to talk?

That's all I want.

Silence is the death of relationships.

Even if it's hurtful, we have to get it out.

Besides, I think I know what the problem is.

I imagine it's delicate for you to express.

Go for it, Rosalie.

Go first, I'm listening.

I'm pregnant.

Who's is it?

What do you mean?

Remember the first man to walk on the moon?

Can I kiss you?

I'm going back to New York. I need my family.

No, you're crazy.

No, I just made a mistake.

I thought I just had to be patient.

I thought that all I had to do to make it work was to love you.

You're right, it doesn't work.

I was wrong.

You'll never change.

I can't stand it anymore. It's beyond my strength.

But...

If I tell you I love you, do you believe me?

No, not anymore.

A FEW MONTHS LATER...

What are you doing here?

What's his name?

Who?

Your new piano player.

He's really good.

Has he been with you long?

Your hair looks good pulled back.

It brightens your face.

Is it working out?

I'm going to make a half Yiddish, half Broadway record.

You see what I mean.

I have to go. Don't stay here, you'll catch a cold.

I've been thinking about you a lot.

I have too.

And I've moved on.

-I have to go. -Wait.

I know we're not going to live together anymore,

but I'm going to be a father and we're still married.

The lady with the hat.

You can come see him whenever you want.

Everything's fine, don't worry.

If there's any problem, I'll call you, I promise.

What is it?

I think I have an erection.
