I always go for boys from good families
who smell of clean linen.
If they're rebellious, my heart takes flight.
The pride of the family!
- Congratulations. - Thanks.
JL
You're so handsome.
Max...
- We're delighted. - Thank you.
The scion of a medical family,
Maxime Maréchal had been named head of chest surgery
in a leading Paris hospital.
You could've worn a tie.
Max, my darling torturer,
who could have made me happy but only saw me as his best friend.
For 19 years, I had witnessed his conquests,
led from one wonderful girl to the next,
until Anna, the woman of his life,
the romantic apotheosis.
Okay, baby?
Don't drink too much.
You smell good.
Here he is. The hero of the day!
Let me give you a hug, you jerk.
Bravo, Maxime.
You must be so happy.
Max was a mustang in a paddock of ponies.
But he had been tamed over the years
and they now had a tight rein on him.
My son!
Becoming a doctor is like becoming a priest.
I recall my debut in Hippocrates' realm
when, like you, I succeeded at everything,
when, like you, I had a bright future before me,
when, like you, I had a beautiful, generous wife.
My son!
The fanatic...
I've been hard on you at times
but I think we're all here tonight partly because of me.
I remember when your mother, desperate
because you spent more time with your guitar
than at your desk,
was worried sick about your future.
I reassured her, as I do.
I knew that you'd come back to us one day.
Here you are,
mature and responsible, barely more than a decade later,
the jewel of the elite.
My son!
Some time ago, I asked my friend Jean-Louis...
We had no idea of the earthquake about to turn our lives upside down.
Even though, before turning obedient,
Max had been Max.
IF YOU LOVE ME, FOLLOW ME
Hello, Mr Benamou.
Now then,
what's the problem?
What we're suggesting isn't magic. We're not wizards.
This is a university hospital and we want you in the study.
Will you be bugging me long?
I told your colleague I've heard enough.
The advantage is
you'll be monitored and better looked after.
Great for the others!
We'll explain things so you understand...
Dr Dautecour already explained.
I understand. I just don't want to do it.
I want traditional care.
I'm not a guinea pig, understand?
Can you see me as a human being or is that too much to ask?
That's not the issue. The new drug's ideal for you.
I'm not stupid, okay.
I haven't left my body to science.
I'm not dead yet.
Once I'm up and about, I'll get you all.
Keep away from me.
You don't know about being sick.
Of course.
They don't teach you young doctors that at school.
You should do time in a hospital bed.
No one's forcing you, sir.
I'll let you rest now.
Think it over and we'll talk again.
You don't realize.
I'm suffering and I'm scared too.
No one listens to me here.
- Sure. - I'll ask to be transferred.
I'll be treated better.
Ghouls like you...
Got a minute, Max?
Listen here, asshole!
You're not dying because of me.
You smoked 40 a day and I'm busting my ass for you!
Other people here are dying for no reason, dickhead!
I want to help them but you can go to hell!
Dr Maréchal...
What's wrong? Are you crazy?
God only knows, Jojo.
AJack Daniels, please. Adouble.
Good evening.
When I'm alone and I can dream
I dream I'm in your arms
I dream that I'm making
A quiet declaration
My declaration
When I'm alone and I can picture
That you're here by my side
I can imagine myself
Quietly making
A declaration
My declaration
Just two or three sweet words
To tell you about us
Two or three everyday words That's all
I could never tell you all that
I'd love to but I don't dare
I'd rather make my song
A declaration
Your stuff is good.
Thanks.
It depressed you, didn't it?
No, I'm serious.
You know, I have a group myself.
I'm a musician too.
You are?
I'm going to record an album.
It's going pretty well.
I'm looking for a backing singer.
Yes, a singer...
To record with me, see.
That's good.
What's your name?
Come on.
Chine.
I'm Max. Pleased to meet you.
Are you interested? Can I...
have your number?
Good night.
Not good night.
It's a chance of a lifetime.
I'm your lucky charm.
I'm serious.
You can't throw your talent away in this cheap dive...
I don't, I sing here!
You noticed, jerk?
Sorry, I didn't mean to upset you. You're very...
Listen, baby...
Wait.
Accept my offer.
It's 7:45.
You'll be late.
I'll get to work.
I'm in court this afternoon.
I'm not going.
What?
Call to say I'm sick and need to stay in bed.
No, I know.
Say I'm dead and that I'm in heaven.
What are you saying?
Come on, get up, lazybones!
Mum?
Is anybody home?
I'm an earthworm
Stuck in a patch of honey
Because the fires of life
Have burned both my wings
And I'm drawn To your heart of flint
"Your heart of flint"...
Useless...
Metal, metal, metal, metal
Metal concept
Metal inept
Your heart, your heart, your heart
Your heart is dry
Long time no see.
What's going on?
You live around here?
Felipe...
Good old Felipe.
The short hair suits you.
Give me a second. I'm closing.
Go ahead, don't mind me.
Grab a beer from the fridge.
So what's up these days?
Not a lot.
You still make music?
Yeah.
From time to time.
Less and less.
Sorry, I have to meet someone.
Come back anytime.
I need to talk to you. It's important.
I'm in a hurry, Max.
Wait!
Cancel.
You haven't changed.
See you.
I'm forming a group.
In that shirt?
Interested?
I'm going. It's 8 o'clock!
I'll be at the court until 4. I'll call you.
Maybe we should meet at the bank.
At the bank?
For the country house.
You're too much!
You're beautiful. Who is it for?
My horse thief.
The one who's mad about you?
Don't talk rubbish.
I can imagine you naked
straddling his thoroughbred...
Hurry up, you'll be late.
4:30 at the bank, okay?
Do we really want another loan?
You could've waited.
How could I know? You stood me up yesterday.
Come on...
It was the first time in seven years. Sorry.
What's going on?
Let me have a wonton.
How's your mum?
So-so.
And your sister?
Better but you never really know.
I'm taking a sabbatical.
Sure!
To make music.
Benamou wants to see you.
You've changed his mind.
Benamou...
Tell him I'm sick and scared.
I've emptied my office.
I'm quitting.
I'm making rock music!
It's a good hobby.
Jojo.
Don't tell anyone for now, okay.
My father mustn't know. Nor Anna.
I'll tell her
but I need a little time.
I need something concrete first.
You're not serious?
You're serious?
You're the boss of a top hospital.
Guys would sell their souls for that.
A head doctor doesn't resign!
I don't agree with this!
It's sick asking me not to tell Anna.
Are you depressed?
Take some Prozac.
We're rushed off our feet.
But we'll always have work.
You won't be back in?
I need some air.
Trust me.
An urge for pâté?
Or tripe? Well, don't hesitate. Tripe away!
The finest pâtés are in Paris
at the Farm-Produce Fair that runs until next Wednesday.
Hurry along and sample
hundreds of different pâtés
from every part of France!
It's 11:15. Time for Raphaël and Jérôme with their odds and ends.
Hello, Raphaël! Hello, Jérôme!
Hello, Praline!
Plenty of antique fairs
this weekend.
Lots of book sales too...
- Praline? - Max?
I need your cellar.
What's going on, baby?
Sorry, I didn't expect you. You're back early, honey.
I forgot my mum's molar X-rays. I have to rush back.
I didn't want to disturb you
but I wanted to westernise the decor. What do you think?
With junk from the cellar?
And this?
Awinter sports theme in the kid's room.
Please, don't say no.
We'll talk about it tonight, okay.
I have my IFB meeting tonight.
I'll call you, pumpkin. Sorry, I'm...
- Have a good day. - You too.
What's all this?
Good, huh?
No drums yet but Felipe's bringing them.
Felipe?
Felipe Gonzalez?
No, Felipe Noiret.
Dumbo.
But Max...
- What's going on? - I've quit my job.
I'm going back to music. It's now or never.
I don't believe it!
It's true.
You're crazy!
It's the happiest day of my life!
Hi.
This is it. Welcome. The others will be here soon.
People kiss in showbiz.
Sorry. Praline... Chine is going to sing with us.
You sing too?
I get it now. You're totally crazy.
She's not my woman, just my best friend.
My gut aches.
I had bean stew for lunch.
So this is the place...
Yeah.
What's the group called?
You're really famous?
Can I smoke?
Go ahead.
Right...
So,
let's hear if you've got balls.
How!
Apache!
Brilliant.
Meet Felipe Gonzalez
on bass and Jean-Philippe,
alias Apache, on drums.
The opposite, pal.
I'm so glad you're here. Look what I've found.
Chine, on back-up.
On vocals.
Cool! Let's toast the new group.
Who fancies a cold beer?
Hold on, you told me you had a steady group, right?
That's true.
But if I'd said I was relaunching a group
that I had 15 years ago, in a friend's cellar,
you'd never have come.
You think I'm stupid?
Not at all.
I had to get a sitter for my kid to come out to this shithole...
- Wait. - That hurts!
Let me out of here, shithead!
She's a hysteric, forget her.
It's simple. We're going to be big.
I've turned my back
on a goldmine because I believe in this.
Felipe is a drumming ace
and Apache does miracles with his hands.
What do you have to lose?
Is that dive better than what I offer?
Who does he think he is? I sing there because I like it.
Let me out now.
This group will be huge.
Believe me, I'm never wrong. But I need you on board.
What a jerk...
Sure...
What's your problem?
I'm not doing this with a chick.
If you're not happy, piss off!
Okay, I'm pissing off!
The human factor.
I have a sort of cyst on the groin.
It's itching and freaking me out.
Could you take a look?
Yeah.
Yes,
Anne-Marie Gastinel prostituted herself at times.
Yes, Anne-Marie Gastinel sold her body
on the public highway.
Yes,
this woman sacrificed herself
for children about to be taken from her.
Children that the courts
are putting at risk by entrusting them to an unstable father.
I'm made for happiness And happy I'm made to be
People seek me out To be happy with me
The wind
Like you, little girl, it often comes my way
Time
Like you, little girl, I waste it from time to time
From time to time
But I want it to last a long time
And be as good as it can be Since I'm good-looking
And made
For happiness
Want to get on, honey?
What's this crazy idea?
An unbearable desire for lightness.
I'm really in love with you right now.
Good evening!
Mum?
There's nobody here?
They're here.
They're getting ready.
Have more meat,
Maxime dear.
Delicious, Monique.
As usual.
- I love this. - Roast lamb is Françoise's speciality.
She's a real gem.
All right...
Let's get fat.
Duchêne joined you this week.
And?
The intern.
Duchêne.
He seems very professional...
You idiot, Duchêne the bombshell.
The blond, the high-flyer from Nantes.
That Duchêne! She's a cheeky one.
She's Delahaye's mistress.
Hi, pal.
Leave the table, please, dear.
It's the hot topic at the hospital department.
You bet!
When she was with us,
we all ran a temperature!
I have to go to the hospital.
I'm made for happiness And happy I'm made to be
People seek me out
To be happy with me
Wolves
Like you, little boy, I see them
everywhere I go
Bad scenes
Like you, little girl, I bleed every time
Every time
But I bite and I fight, I couldn't give a damn
I'm good-looking And beautifully put together
I'm made for happiness
For happiness
I'm made for happiness
And happy I'm made to be
People seek me out
Thank you.
- You don't waste time. - Classy, huh?
Thank you.
What do we do now?
Your place or mine?
To the group.
Give me a break!
You can't do this to me!
You're crazy!
A lack of inspiration
Look for it
A tiny compensation
Look for it
A minor consolation
A boy who's not so kind
But one who stays...
Tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny
Tiny arrangements
Tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny
With life itself
I'm no Goliath
Yuck
A boy of no account
Yuck
A magazine cover guy
A guy with both feet on the ground Yet not the rest
Romance and maracas
Kisses and crises
If you love me, that's sick
But I'm just passing, kid
Like all the rest
Excellent.
Use your big hands to make us a spring roll.
Give me some after you've finished fooling around
with your sticks.
You must be proud of studying. It takes discipline.
I'm a wild flower, a weed...
and you're a cultured garden rose.
Enough contractions! I want to give birth!
Come over here. Come on, blossom.
This child will be scandalously witty.
And smart and handsome. I want one too.
Why don't you have kids?
My wife doesn't want any.
Riding off to market...
Cut it out, you're crazy!
Trotting on a farting mule...
Walking...
Trotting...
Galloping...
Call Paul, quickly!
We're nearly there now.
Pull with your arms. Go ahead...
Bear down, Praline!
Come on, bear down, ma'am.
- Bear down. - I am bearing down!
Come on, let's do it. This is bad for the baby.
Come on, one last effort.
Go on, again.
Go on, that's it!
Praline baby, it's a girl.
Praline's had her baby.
And I'm the godfather.
Surprise, surprise.
What time is it?
Who cares? I love you.
You've cut yourself again!
Jojo!
- Okay? - Yeah. Sorry.
- You saw Céleste? - Yes. She's funny.
- Is she ugly? - No.
- Got time for a coffee? - No.
I have to meet someone, sorry.
- Goodbye. - Jojo.
Are you okay?
Yes, things are a bit tough to manage.
I hardly see you anymore.
Come to dinner next week. We'll talk.
I think I can help your sister.
Tuesday?
No, Tuesday's no good.
Wednesday?
No good either.
- Thursday then? - I'd rather not.
- Is something wrong? - I'm rushed off my feet!
Damn, 1:30 already. See you.
Not eating with Max today?
I'm shagging a hooker!
Two coffees, two caramel creams and a vodka as usual.
Thanks, JC.
Hi, baby.
- Am I disturbing you? - No, I'm with Jojo.
A client just arrived. I'll call you back.
Take care, see you later.
I have to get to a meeting.
See you tonight.
What the hell's going on?
- Who is it? - Anna!
Hi, great to...
- Where is he? - What?
You can't fool me, bitch!
Without the kid, I'd smash your face in!
Come out, bastard!
What's going on, Anna?
Don't be mad at me
I love you, that's all
Look at me
Speed it up, baby
Speed it up, speed it up
I love you, that's all
Here's my body
He has a lot of talent.
I'll leave you...
- Okay? - Well...
I have a load of scalings on.
I'll be back late again. Have dinner without me.
Say something, baby.
Piss off.
Want a beer?
This is cool.
We can play our music loud and strong at last.
We have to do demos.
I have exes in the business. I can call them.
Once we have something good, I'll do it.
Why didn't you do it sooner?
What?
For yourself, I mean.
I don't know. I didn't have good lyrics.
Plus I was lazy and I'd had a kid too.
What are you thinking?
That we'll make it overnight?
I love you, that's all
But in a hurry would be best
I'm on fire, I'm in a rush, I'm scared of the bullets
Brunettes and blonds in hot pursuit
That girl isn't Maya
and you're not a rock singer anymore.
Take your shoes off.
What's up? You're not asleep?
My name's Anna, I'm your wife.
You're 35, you're a doctor.
Stop this. It's like a horror movie.
Trust me.
Ever since I went back to music,
we've been happy together.
It's like waking up from a long night.
While I'm in a nightmare!
Realize what that means? You've been asleep 10 years?
You don't understand.
That guy,
with his guitar around his neck and his ass on his tandem, is me.
He's me. I'm a new man.
But do I love him?
Who knows? He looks like an asshole.
He's much funnier than the other.
He's not an office clerk!
Doesn't it make you dream?
You're crazy, Max.
It's come back to haunt me.
After 15 years!
Well, I'm not paying for your adolescent whims!
If you wash dishes with that slut,
tell your parents. They'll be delighted.
This is horrible. You're making me mean.
Stop. Where are you going?
To shag an office clerk!
What's this 2,000-euro cheque, baby?
Baby? What's this cheque?
I lent it to someone.
Who needed 2,000 euros?
Max.
You're out of your mind, kid.
2,000 euros is twice your salary.
Praline!
- Max is my friend. - He isn't.
He's robbed you. Know what it is?
It's manipulation, girl.
He has manipulated you and he will
until you end this sadomasochistic relationship.
I won't have my wife humiliated!
What if I like that?
You almost gave birth in the cellar because of him.
You idiot!
Not the frog!
Bastard!
I should trash this place!
Go ahead.
After a few days on strike,
Anna realized she could lose the man she loved.
Her role for years had been to calm him.
Now he was wild again and she had to hold her course.
She knew she couldn't force him out of it.
For her, his music was the whim of a depressed thirty-something.
Anna was a rational woman who had never believed in ghosts.
But since there were ghosts,
she would overcome them.
She would overcome them.
To us.
Our stuff's hot, you'll love it.
I don't know you yet
but you seem the sensitive type. I'm keyed in to vibes
and I feel yours.
When can I hear something?
We have to record a demo. That's the next step.
I've had an idea.
Instead of staying here while I'm away with Jojo and Praline,
why not come to Montjoie to do the demo?
It's complicated.
Max's parents have a great house in Burgundy,
with a boules ground, a pool...
Astarlit barbecue at night...
Count me in.
Imagine the gear.
- I have my daughter. - Bring her.
I like the idea.
No, we need to work, Anna.
You owe me that.
What are we doing here?
What's that smell?
Lunch already? Fantastic!
Anybody interested?
No but try my daughter, we'll have a laugh.
I'm sorry.
Want to swim, Jojo?
No, thanks.
You've scored.
No way.
I'm making an olive cake.
I'll help Anna.
This guy is impossible
It's even quite unbearable
This guy is impossible
It's even quite abominable
As a guy I'm impossible
No one sees me on her arm
As a guy I'm impossible
No one sees me in her home
All categories taken together
All your friends have vanished
My company
Isn't wanted
I am
A pain
Impossible
Can you lend me a hand?
- We're working, baby. - Five minutes.
Whose drawers are these?
Did Max mention Maya?
No, who is she?
The singer in his old group.
They had a singer?
Max was in love with her.
She had charm. I'll show you a photo.
I'd like that.
She was magnificent. A real beauty.
They were mad about each other. Everything was going well.
They were hot, doing gigs...
- What was her name? - Maya.
- Right. - Maya Rinaldi.
Spare me the nonchalance.
I'm listening.
They were young and dumb.
They used to walk on the rooftops. She slipped. End of story.
What do you mean?
The fall killed her.
Shit, that's a bummer.
Max wanted to die.
I got him over it.
Why tell me this?
Why do you think?
You're not very funny.
What are you?
An "artist"? Generous?
Disinterested?
I don't care about that shit.
Maya Rinaldi... Ronaldo... Fuck that shit.
I'm here to make music.
Happy birthday, Praline
Come on, let's go.
Come on.
Come and dance.
What's the matter, kiddo?
I can't hold my drink anymore.
I should've gone to bed with Céleste.
I can't even party anymore.
I used to knock it back!
That's not true.
I'm alone here. It's not fair.
I wanted Jean-Jacques here.
Don't worry, you'll see daddy soon.
Four more bedtimes.
You have wrinkles.
We're old!
I love you. I'm scared of dying.
You're being a pain. Let's dance.
No, I'm off to bed.
Let's have some fun too.
Chine?
- Are you crazy? - I want your mouth.
I want your body. I love you.
I want your sex.
Cut it out. Are you totally plastered?
Stop it.
You're breathing harder.
You're uneasy. I can tell. It turns me on.
Come on. Let's go crazy.
Stop.
Calm down.
What? What's the matter?
You go for singers.
What do you mean?
I want you, you want me. It's simple.
Haven't you noticed I have a wife?
That I'm in love with her and want to keep her?
That's all I need. My music and my wife.
Come back, you fucker!
You can't dump me now.
Who d'you think you are, you macho shit?
Cut it out, you'll feel so embarrassed tomorrow.
I'm your muse! You don't realize.
What'll you have without me?
Atandem, a guitar
and your cock!
You'll be huge with that!
I'm sorry...
It's not really my thing.
That's okay, Jojo.
Chine has left.
She has?
My dad's had a heart attack.
You gave us a scare.
I ruined your holiday.
I was almost a goner. It was a close call.
When I heard you'd resigned,
everything went dark.
It was as if I'd failed my first school exam.
It's not your problem.
But the time spent on you?
On your career?
I didn't do half for your brother.
Know why? I was stupid enough to believe in you!
How dare you play with your life
and other people's?
You gravedigger.
Want me to get a paper?
I'm ashamed for you.
You're so contemptuous.
So pretentious. What do you think you are?
- 33 years wasted. - Dad...
Rest now.
- The singer isn't here? - No, let's get started.
Let's "og" as they say in Irish showbiz.
What do we do?
What can we do?
You waited up? You're true friends.
The demos.
They're not bad.
- Want to hear? - Yes.
And now...
More love and then more love
And more love and then more love
More love
That's me.
Love is something
I'm getting to like But it's a torment all the same
Turn it off, pal!
Shit...
It's terrible. I can't take it. I'm sorry, Max.
But Anna...
I'm trying to trust you and help you
but I'm not up to it. It's terrible!
Stop that, you're fantastic.
You sacrificed everything forthat?
Hold on...
It's not bad. It's not hopeless.
But I can't believe it's you!
It kind of complicates things.
That's for sure...
I'm so selfish, so damn selfish!
Don't worry,
I'm with you all the way.
An old couple is hard work.
I'll make the soufflés.
I love it.
And now?
Now we'll make the big time.
I meet with a major label, I play our stuff forthe guy,
he loves it, signs us,
I get divorced...
- Just kidding. - And?
I release my first album.
And then?
Are you dumb? What's he up to?
I'm a singer, living off my music.
I do gigs, I have fans...
- What are you getting at? - It's pathetic.
- Pathetic. - What?
I can't lie to you, Max.
I don't know what you're chasing.
No one else will tell you. Maybe I'm a true friend.
We all wanted a band.
But that was a teenage dream. It's not real life, Max.
It's not your destiny.
I say screw destiny!
I grab it by the horns and take it where I want!
That's the difference between us.
Get bogged down if you want
but I need things to move.
I'm alive and need to feel alive or I'll die.
Know what? You piss me off.
You've never tried to understand.
Get out of my life. No, I'll get out of yours.
It stinks of formalin.
- Where is she? - She vanished without a trace.
I'm Salome
At night I crumple up
Boys made of paper
Carbon copy stories
Salome
Slalom
Get off my back
I'm Salome
I bite into the apple
They're all bastards
But if I give myself
To the King of Bastards
Then I'm the Queen of...
I'd like an appointment with Pichito Vargas.
Max, I'm a friend of Chine's.
I've been trying to reach him.
Not for two months?
Well, that's kind of...
When will reinforcements arrive
My soul?
Do you recall the sound of fifes
Suddenly so sweet
When the unit emerged from the shadow
of the tall trees?
The men embraced like crazy
Throwing hats in the air
When will reinforcements arrive?
Do you recall the ambush?
Where we lost so many men And saved our flags
A messenger passed a note through the fence that day
- Sir? - I'm here to see Pichito.
- You have an appointment? - Yes.
Your name?
You're wasting your time.
This can't go on much longer.
Is that Laurent Panier?
I'll see what I can do.
- Mr Max is here. - Put him on.
- Okay. - Put him on.
He can't see you today.
I knew it.
- Hi, pal. - What are you doing here?
Sorry to disturb your meeting
but your friend Chine said you'd like our stuff.
Great, new demos!
I don't have time.
Here, have another one.
I'll play a few hits and get acquainted.
See you.
It's me.
We open for Fish & Chips in ten days.
It's me.
- Thanks for calling. - What is this shit?
Where are you?
None of your business.
Ready to rehearse?
I don't rehearse.
We've been playing the songs for months already.
- Right. The rock attitude. - Yeah.
Are you stupid?
It's a gig. Do you have mush for brains?
I'll be there on the 17th.
Loulou!
It's Chine. Leave me a friendly little message.
It's me again.
It's Max.
I wanted to say...
from the beginning I've resisted falling in love.
I'm going crazy.
I want to kiss you, hug you, make love all day.
I miss you, damn it. I miss you so much.
I'm naked here. I'm waiting for you.
I'm a jerk.
Hi, you losers!
You know Max.
Felipe, Apache, my musicians.
Pichito Vargas, the big artistic manager
who needs no introduction.
Adrink? It's great you're free.
I'll go. I wanted to add some pressure.
Be good out there.
- Make me dream! - Yeah!
It's great he's here. He's the best. I'm so happy!
It's great you're here too.
You're on now! They're going wild!
Let's be good.
This is it.
Anna!
Max, we have to go.
Go ahead. I'll catch up.
It's not what you think.
I've encouraged you in your choices for 15 years.
You went to America and I waited.
You wanted to make music, I trusted you.
And all that time, Maxime Maréchal,
you were cheating on me!
You're confusing things.
I may be selfish but I've never cheated on you.
I thought you loved me.
I've never cheated, damn it!
You're a clown, an impostor...
Stop it. You're being spiteful. Shut up.
When you found that dumb chick,
you'd found a new crutch to replace me.
Stop it!
You've never loved me.
We can't wait any longer!
You were seeing her all this time.
- You were kissing her. - Stop it!
- You were making love to her. - I'm going mad!
I loved you so much, Max.
I'm sorry.
For fuck's sake, Max!
I wanted you to be proud of me.
But I am proud of you.
You're a great doctor.
Anna, I have to go.
They're waiting for me.
Step on that stage and you'll be out of my life.
- Anna, this gig is... - Out of it.
I love you, that's all
Too bad for you
I love you, that's all
Live with that
But in a hurry would be best
I'm on fire, I'm in a rush
I'm scared of the bullets
Brunettes and blonds In hot pursuit
I love you, that's all
Don't be mad at me
I love you, that's all
Look at me
Speed it up
Speed it up, baby
Speed it up, speed it up
I love you, that's all
Here's my body
Here's my blood
Here are my nights Here's what I feel
Here's our childhood We start again
- Here's what's next - You're what's next
But with her hair thrown back God, what could I do?
Her laughter and her behind Both of us, eye to eye
I love you, that's all
I love you and already
- You have doubts - Yes, I do
You have doubts
I love you and already
I'm flying apart
I'm flying
Here come Sandrine and Natasha
Here come Praline and Barbara
Alexander, Alexandra
So on and so forth
Et cetera
I love you
That's all
Come over here.
Come here, I said.
You blew us away, jerk.
You must have been so hot.
You have a lovely band, dear.
We didn't expect this at all.
It's so melodious.
I cried and cried!
I'm so excited!
Congratulations. It was neat.
It wasn't "neat".
It's months of work. Find another word.
What do we do? Fuck or get drunk to forget?
Let's have a drink and take it from there.
We'll make sparks together.
I'll nibble your ankles.
Let's go to your place.
What did you think of the gig?
I had a hard-on from start to finish.
And musically?
Wherever and whenever you want.
- No kidding? - I'm all for it.
Give me your demos and I'll see to you.
Come on.
- He loved it. - We're going for a drink.
How did she sing so well with my cock in her mouth?
Let go of me!
- Enough of this bullshit! - Let go of me!
I'm not letting you go.
Enough of these jerks. This is between you and me.
What do you want to know?
Tell me about Maya.
Who told you about Maya?
Your wife.
What do you want to know?
If you sing better than her?
No worries there. She was useless.
Beautiful but useless.
Musically, you beat her hands down.
Did you love her?
Terribly.
Too much and badly.
Like a jerk.
I was very much in love.
Very much in love.
Is Chine your real name?
What's your name?
Valérie Pénard.
Want a ride home?
We're going different ways.
I have to fetch Loulou.
See you later.
My love,
I had an incredible surprise but you had turned away.
Life is so sad and difficult. Anna.
Max would have preferred a wild party and a few mourners.
I think he has his mourners.
But the rest, a coffin and a grave, isn't like him.
It's all too calm.
Too cold.
Please, Max, don't rest in peace.
Don't rest. Instead, go as wild as you did in life.
Where the paths meet,
I take the one where wildflowers grow
You smell of soap and cut grass, like Max did.
How will we go on living now?
Against all odds,
love returns,
life returns.
It quickly gains the upper hand
and the dead are the losers.
Anna and Jojo had Max's child.
I think they simply love each other, which is something.
Felipe left his aunts' restaurant for good
and went back to Spain to make music there,
thus fleeing the curse on the group.
And I'm an independent woman now
who decides more and cries less.
Jean-acques and I split up a year ago.
I have affairs here and there.
I think I'm pretty.
Céleste is in great shape.
Today, it's Saturday again.
We'll have May, June and July.
Max will soon be dead again.
While his decision to change paths
shook each one of us up,
his death made us take charge of our lives.
I don't know why he was better and more handsome.
It was obvious, an aura, charisma.
Call it what you like.
I'm no longer lovesick, you know.
I just wish he were here.
I love him.
