Thanks, we reaIIy appreciate it. Goodnight.
You're back? How was it?
Okay? You weren't too bored?
It's non-stop. You're right about the noise.
What are you doing with that?
HeIIo there!
WeII?
That's right!
I don't know...
I'm at a Ioss.
He'II wake the kids too.
I'm sorry.
I'II taIk to him.
That's not a good idea.
- What's he doing? - Busting the waII.
To catch one, I guess.
He hasn't sIept aII week.
It's therapeutic.
Sorry.
What do you say now?
HeIIo! Not so noisy now, are you?
It's the IandIord!
What's the story with Max?
Look at me.
HoId on, don't move!
I'II be right back.
I don't give a hoot.
- You okay? - No.
I can't sIeep.
I feeI just great.
I've decided to stop pressuring her
and pIay it cooI,
Iike I have a Iife too, you know?
You're going to bed?
Is our age difference the probIem?
You gave me a fright!
I need to borrow some shorts. Can I?
What for?
To pIay soccer.
Jesus!
Where is everybody?
At the beach. It's gone 4. Nobody got any sIeep.
Is Vero mad at me?
She'd Iike you to chiII out.
HoId on, wait for me.
Sam! What the heII was that?
Go back to pIaying marbIes!
Try running!
TackIe him!
Let's get some focus! Game faces on!
You know what we gotta do!
Bunch of Iosers!
Where were you?
- We're in shirts! - I didn't see you!
- Look! - Mark the IittIe guy!
Your waitress is here.
FoIIows me everywhere.
I shouIdn't have banged her.
She was born in '87.
I was in 9th grade!
Sorry.
Cut that out or I'II cIock you one!
My friends! Good evening to you!
Hi, beautifuI.
I never saw you in shoes.
Very true.
What's going on?
Those feet!
You get shoes made to measure?
Morning, ma'am. FIip-fIops, size 76, pIease.
You idiots!
I went to see Ludo.
Go on, how is he?
I got a reaI shock.
I didn't think it was that bad.
He's out of it, but the doctors are optimistic.
I doubt he recognized me.
You made the trip in a day?
Sure.
Let's drink to his heaIth.
Sorry, I started without you.
Did he open his eyes at Ieast?
A bit, but he's totaIIy drugged up.
But are you sure...
He's gonna be okay.
Say, Marie...
Look at me. He'II be okay.
He'II puII through.
It'II be okay. Here, eat this.
A wonderfuI pIace you have, Max!
Thank you for your generosity
and your hospitaIity.
Yeah, it's a kiIIer house. Sick!
What did I say?
Words are important, you know.
They have reaI infIuence on things.
By caIIing things sick, they become so
in the bad sense.
You see?
Sure. Use words for what they mean.
And what they impIy.
There's an amazing experiment by a Japanese guy, Masaru Emoto.
He fiIIed two jars with rice.
He IabeIed the first one I Love You
and the other one I Hate You.
He kept saying those words to them.
After a certain amount of time,
the I-Iove-you rice was stiII edibIe,
but the other rice was rotten.
I cooked some rice. Let's try it. It's awesome!
That's why peopIe taIk to pIants or pIay them music?
- ExactIy. - It's wonderfuI!
Amazing.
- But rice isn't an actuaI pIant. - Sure it is!
It's not a Iiving organism, it's hard.
I never get on with new-age types. That's why I Iike you.
A guy I know has driven from Paris to see me. He'II be here soon.
I didn't ask him to come.
A guy? What guy?
What do I teII him when he shows up?
TeII him to fuck off. SimpIe.
Let the poor guy stay the night,
600 km to see you, you can't Iet him camp out.
Where's he gonna sIeep?
Up a hoIe. Sorry.
There's the Iaundry or the couch.
In my room.
A quick shag never hurts.
EspeciaIIy as he's a very good shag.
Great, it'II do you good.
Your body wiII thank you for it.
You're doing it a favor.
He won't Iet that one go.
Yeah, I know.
- I caII him then? - Sure!
Pisses me off.
And the temperature in winter?
1 2? a day.
- 1 2?? - Every day.
- Does it ever haiI here? - Of course.
Twice we had haiI. In '67, I think...
1, 2, 3, sun's up!
It works Iike cIairvoyance. AnimaIs use it a Iot.
For exampIe, in Hiroshima,
the rats Ieft the city before the bomb even dropped.
Like the tsunami. AnimaIs baiIed before it hit.
Why didn't we feeI the tsunami coming?
Humans don't Iisten to their intuitions and premonitions.
You have to Iearn to Iisten.
Humanity Iives by answering questions it hasn't asked.
I'm Iost. I feeI dumb and that drives me mad.
Your musicaI sex toy has arrived.
Hey! You want some heIp?
You enjoy scamming my kids?
You're way out of Iine!
You think I didn't notice, you cheat?
You say 1, 2, 3, sun's up! Then you turn round!
You go 1, 2, turn round, then 3, sun's up!
Cut it out! No more buIIshit tricks!
Bedroom! Now!
Bedroom!
Good evening.
He was cheating.
Are you out of your mind? Do you reaIize what you just did?
He was cheating.
He's a chiId! 6 years oId!
Your godson! Look at me when I bawI you out!
I'm sick of it!
Sick of your Iong face, your pathetic hang-ups!
Your weaseIs, your tide times!
ReIax or go back to work. Give us aII a break!
Don't invite your friends if it turns you into the great dictator!
HonestIy, you're acting Iike a reaI prick!
Even I begin to wonder...
It's simpIe. Stop making our Iives heII
or I'II go back to Paris with the kids.
Why am I Iike this?
Go and apoIogize. You'II see, it won't hurt.
What are you doing?
Don't Ieave, it's ridicuIous.
Can we taIk?
PIease, put that down.
What's with you guys?
I've no idea, honestIy.
You ignore each other
and neither knows why?
I'm sorry, he aIways gets his panties in a wad.
He went too far, yeIIing at EIIiot. It's better if we go.
I can afford our own vacation. I don't need him.
He can be a pain in the ass,
but you know he's a great guy.
Something's bugging him and he won't taIk.
Can I taIk to you?
Forget it.
Let's have a drink.
You're shitting me?
Is that aII you can say?
It's not easy. You started aII over at the soccer game.
I can't read you and it freaks me out.
Try to understand, I can't take any more.
I try to make it a great vacation. I take care of everything
and, whatever I do, I'm the pain in the ass!
I can't reIax.
Stop it, Max.
Every year you say that, then you invite us aII again.
That's not the issue.
Look how you chewed out EIIiot!
He's a kid. Leave him out of aII this.
Yes, I know.
I was a jerk.
I'm reaIIy sorry.
I'II watch what I say from now on.
C'mon...
Stay.
We'II start over from scratch.
I'm warning you...
- It's the Iast time. - I promise.
But, pIease, you cut it out too.
Okay.
What kind of musician?
Musician.
- That's your job? - Yes.
- Like you do nothing eIse? - No.
Awesome!
Yeah, I'm Iucky.
That bIows me away.
Franck.
- Sorry to barge in. - No probIem.
EIIiot, I'm sorry.
I shouIdn't have taIked that way.
I shouIdn't have yeIIed at you, see?
I apoIogize.
Okay.
I'm on-edge right now.
I know it's not an excuse and it's not your fauIt.
It won't happen again.
DefiniteIy not. Let's go, kiddo, bedtime.
Goodnight, sweetie.
Say goodnight.
- Where's Jean-Louis? - He went home.
Say goodnight to the kids.
- I need a drink. - Me too.
What kind of ax have you got?
A J-45.
Gibson.
You wanna pIay by any chance?
That must be unbeIievabIe in concert. Just acoustic, it was fabuIous.
Don't you think?
How about another?
I don't know.
Just a quick one.
Encore! Encore!
They're nuts!
We want more!
Good, you moved the tabIe in.
- You didn't get soaked? - No, we're fine.
It'II bIow over with the tide.
Did you sIeep weII?
Yes, I sIept fine.
What wiII it be, Franck? Tea? Coffee?
Coffee'd be great.
Coffee for me too, pIease.
I know that.
- I got a gift for Jean-Louis. - Why?
For yesterday.
We couId drop by for Iunch. I'II caII him.
You wanna come?
I don't know.
It's amazingIy beautifuI. You have to meet Jean-Louis.
Like I said, I've known him for years.
My dad worked at a whoIesaIe market
and every summer he sent me to Jean-Louis's dad's
to work in the oyster farm.
At 5 every morning I saiIed past these beautifuI houses,
and said to myseIf, One day, I'II buy one!
I'II be going. I don't want to get back to Paris too Iate.
Son of a bitch motherfucker!
Screw you, asshoIe! BIow me, you degenerate bastard!
You stink, asswipe!
It's our...
Shit-stinking, motherfucking scumbag!
I Iike you. I'II give you Iots of hugs and kisses.
You okay?
I'm okay.
You can come to Jean-Louis's.
Thanks, but I'II be off.
It's up to you.
I shouIdn't have rocked up Iike this.
I had to do aII I couId to find out.
And I found out.
I'm not mad at you.
I respect you totaIIy.
Even if I reaIIy, reaIIy Iove making Iove with you,
there's a time when I need more.
6 months we've been sIeeping together, when you're around...
I see now
I can't share things with you.
It's no big deaI.
What is, is. But it's not for me.
Let's end it now.
I don't want to get hurt.
Or hurt you.
Your guitar.
It's yours.
I can't pIay.
It'II be a chance to Iearn.
Take care of yourseIf.
Say goodbye, EIIiot.
It was great meeting you.
- See you soon. - You have reaI taIent.
Have a good trip.
Drive safeIy.
Yeah, thanks.
He's reaIIy got something.
I'm no judge of music, but he's got more than one string to his bone.
Stop, pIease. Stop it now.
We're just saying...
I don't need your opinion of him. I don't want it!
That's off Iimits too now.
What do we have to do? BIow things up? BIock the roads?
It's crazy! You haven't heard the Iast of this!
Yeah, right. Thanks.
Fucking asshoIe!
Everything okay?
Don't ask! Who wants a drink?
I've got something for you.
C'mon, it's time for his surprise.
HoId on, just a second...
You're nuts! I won't use that.
To reach your boat in the morning. 4-stroke...
My motor's right here.
The day I stop rowing, it's over.
Thanks anyway, Max.
Why'd you buy me that?
No reason.
Like your present?
When does Lea arrive?
She's got rehearsaIs.
She's dancing in the new show by...
DecoufIe.
He is just so taIented!
You heard about JuIiette?
What?
Any news?
This morning, she said she'd caII me in 5.
Sounds compIicated, Lea and her fIight.
A reaI struggIe.
Yeah...
No, I'm struggIing.
I don't know why...
I just mess up.
I reaIize I have no faith in Iove.
I expect it to go wrong one way or another.
So it's reassuring to be the one to bIame.
I worry Iess about it going wrong and when it does,
I feeI kind of vindicated.
But I never move forward.
Never.
I'm the same.
It's not my news to break but...
Let it go now.
It's over with JuIiette.
She's marrying him.
You're kidding.
Am I Iaughing?
Is Starckos here?
AII of JuIy, but he had to go. Too much work.
We need a night out. Can we take your car to go to Bordeaux?
Sure, with pIeasure. When?
Right now. We're gonna change and go.
No probIem. Just Iet me get the shopping out of it.
No, take mine!
Jean-Louis wiII give us a ride and I'II heIp you unIoad your car.
What?
Nothing, sweetheart. That's great. And unexpected.
Are you sure?
Good Iuck.
You too.
See you Iater.
Lea, it's me.
It didn't work.
Stop, please. Go away.
Open up. I need to taIk to you. It's reaIIy important.
l'm taking the intercom off the hook. Go away.
Don't, Lea! Open up!
It's me. How are you?
I'm downstairs.
I am.
I need to taIk, can you come down?
I know but I...
HoId on a second...
I just want you to hear me out. It won't take Iong, I promise.
SureIy you can do that.
It's me!
You don't answer, so it's over, we're through?
Great.
Look at me at Ieast.
I came to see you. Look at me!
I drove 500 km to see you. Come to the damn window!
I Iove you.
I Iove you!
I never did that stuff on purpose.
I didn't know it hurt you.
What do I do now?
What do I do without you?
I don't get it.
1 1 years down the pan to marry a guy you know a year?
It's not about time.
What is it about?
And why keep sending me messages?
If you're getting married?
It means you're not sure about it.
Are you sure?
You know what marriage means?
Yes.
I was fooIing myseIf.
I saw in you what I wanted to see.
I've changed, for Christ's sake!
Can't you see that? Can't you see what I'm doing?
Don't you see I beIieve in myseIf? In us!
I have to go.
You didn't answer me.
Why the messages if you're getting married?
I don't Iike you being aIone.
Don't do it, JuIiette.
Your Iife is with me.
I'm gonna stay here.
You have aII night to decide.
If you don't come out by 7, you'II never see me again, it's over.
Okay?
So get out of the car now
and after you cIose the door, just do one thing for me...
On the way to that door, think of aII we had together.
AII we shared.
When you open that door,
ask yourseIf if you want it to end here.
Hey, everybody. How's it going?
You're aII aIone?
Who's got my car?
Antoine. He scored a chick in Bordeaux.
Good for him, having some fun.
We had a totaIIy crazy night!
You weren't bored being third wheeI?
I hit the dance fIoor. You know I Iove dancing.
I saw Ludo this morning.
He recognized me, but he's stiII in bad shape.
He can't speak, he's hardIy fizzing.
You saw Ludo in Bordeaux?
No. Because I was in Paris.
She Ieft me.
She Ieft me because I'm a seIfish bastard!
The onIy girI who Ioved me for what I am...
And I bIew it 'cos I'm a stupid jerk!
Sure but...
She's right. I didn't deserve her.
At 60, I'II end up chasing after 20-year-oIds.
Now I never want to hear another word,
not another word about this, get it?
Do you get it?
WiII you pIease say yes?
PIease!
We taking the boat out Iater?
A gIass of red'II do you good.
You okay?
It's just a scratch. I thought you said it was wrecked.
Sorry. We found it Iike that at the rest stop.
It stands out more in dayIight.
ReaIIy?
We'II see tomorrow. As Vero says, it's aII immateriaI.
Hey, how are you?
I didn't expect you to react so weII.
The vacation's done me a worId of good. It's so reIaxing here.
- It's great to see you. - You too.
- How are you, babe? - Yeah, fine.
Hey, beautifuI!
I know this is pretty weird for you, but it's weirder for me.
Let's just act normaI.
I'm so happy to be here
and to see you aII again.
We're gIad to see you too.
He'II stop hassIing us about texts.
What's he saying?
What texts? That's buIIshit.
CarefuI, she'II beIieve you.
You bet. Did you reaIIy?
WouId I? Course not.
This caIIs for champagne! You putting the Iid behind you.
What did you say?
We put the Iid behind us.
I'II get you for that, asshoIe.
You okay?
Sure.
Let's party, take your mind off it.
- Party anyone? - Let's go dancing.
We haven't been cIubbing yet.
- I'm in. - You haven't?
I'm out. You go, if you want.
What about you?
I'II stay here.
Let's go get changed.
Eric, poker?
No, he's coming with us.
I'm okay. I don't feeI Iike it.
I wanna win my money back.
Dream on, buddy.
I'II just grab a shower. Won't be Iong.
Don't be Iong.
I'm pIeased for you.
Yeah, I'm pIeased too.
This is how it works.
You taIk to each one every day. We aII do it.
It's not what I thought.
It's reIaxing. Who knew I'd decIare undying Iove to some rice?
Is Marie stiII asIeep?
I guess so. We Ieft without her. It was 4:30.
I'd no idea you got home so Iate. What were you doing tiII then?
I danced, then I had a gangbang with 3 surfers on a trampoIine.
The surfer boys rode that wave!
You missed out.
I don't Iike you being Iike that.
Fuck!
- How is she? - She's in the toiIet.
I'II go.
It's me.
Are you okay?
Coming all the way from Valras Beach,
barefoot,
she needs no introduction. She's divine, she's...
Ludovine!
Careful, you'll hurt him. Hands off Neptune's son!
Get off, for Christ's sake!
You're freezing cold!
You're getting sand in my face!
Lighten up, we're on vacation!
l'm cool, but you got sand in my face!
l've got one for you, douchebag.
The Z.
- That's not a Z. -lt's my Z!
Ludo, demonstrate for him.
Like no one's looking.
Let's go.
lt's not nice, killing live animals.
You're the best, dude. You're the best!
Check it out!
lt's bleeding.
l'll leave you to enjoy the night.
l'll be up tomorrow at sunrise. lt's idyllic.
You don't have that. You'll never know...
Morning's too much for you.
l'd love to be there with you.
lf l weren't an actor, l'd farm oysters.
No kidding.
Remember?
l swear l'll be at Jean-Louis's oyster beds at 5:45.
You wanna grab a bite...
Maybe some ratatouille?
Look at the state of you.
There we go. He kept his word.
Our hero is aboard. Nothing stands in his way.
Stop filming me!
Puke stew!
A tasty dish consisting mostly of corn
made by our friend Rico, who looks like he's...
Give me a sIug of beer.
No.
C'mon, you big faggot!
Shit, Eric. There are chiIdren!
Sorry.
What's a faggot?
Ask your dad, he knows.
EIIiot, come here, son.
Faggot is a very bad word.
It means a homosexuaI and a homosexuaI
is a man who Ioves another man. There's nothing wrong with that.
You just have to respect it.
Because it's stiII Iove.
Understand?
Come with me.
Kids...
Jeanne, Arthur, come with me.
Kids, wait here for me.
Don't move, I'II be right back.
Got something to say?
Say it!
- TeII them! - Stop!
CaIm down!
Let go of me!
You prefer taIking to my son?
What the heII is aII this?
- I don't get it. - You don't get it?
You saw, didn't you?
Give me your teddy, pIease.
Lift your arm up.
You okay, pops?
Okay.
CaIm down.
AII my Iove.
We can do this another time.
Jean-Louis, I guess the ban on oyster saIes
with the big season coming up...
If you need any heIp financiaIIy,
just shout. I can heIp, if you want.
I'II be fine.
Are you sure? Why?
I'd rather you offered in private without peopIe to impress.
It's not to impress...
I don't care about the money.
I don't care, get it?
Cut that out now.
Sorry, but I can't pretend...
No one's asking you to pretend.
No, but you aII do.
What's eating you?
You've spent 2 weeks Iying to each other.
What?
You earn your Iiving from it. You made it an art.
Easy now. What's got into you?
You guys have. Right under my skin.
You show off to everybody, especiaIIy your friends,
fIaunting your success.
Where does it get you? You don't enjoy it.
The biggest boat, the swankiest house,
the goIdest goId card...
But your heart's Iike everyone eIse's.
You can't buy an upgrade.
Worst of aII, you Iie to yourseIves.
Every singIe one of you.
You buy into each other's Iies.
CaII yourseIves friends?
What's friendship?
Leaving a paI in the hospitaI 'cos your vacation matters more?
Cut it out now.
What's your probIem?
You bust our baIIs with your stupid texts,
but did you caII the hospitaI to see how he was?
He's dead.
Hear me? He died this morning aII aIone.
I'm sorry, it's...
Vincent just caIIed me.
If there's one man I beIieved in...
it's Ludo.
I'd Iike to taIk about his generosity. He was...
You couId go to see him anytime,
he was there for you.
To taIk to you.
Even when he was down, and he often was,
he was so generous that...
he forgot to think of himseIf.
Since we met,
and in the Iast few years especiaIIy,
you kept teIIing me
that Iife is to be Iived.
You gave me the strength
to Iive some extraordinary experiences
You gave me the strength to imagine us Iiving together one day.
How couId I have done it without you?
How wiII I keep going without you?
I aIways toId you everything...
and I have so much stiII to teII you.
I don't know what to expect...
but I'm expecting a baby.
Have a great journey, Ludo.
I'II Iove you aII my Iife.
Ludo...
Buddy-o...
My paI...
The fun we had! Damn!
We had some amazing times together.
I tried, I swear. I tried but...
I promised I wouIdn't...
You gave us so much. AII of us.
I didn't give you as much back.
I doubt I gave you as much but...
It was good being with you.
Being your friend.
Don't cry.
Look at me.
