Hi
Hi there
Where are you going?
Le Guilvinec
Come on!
It's no good to me, but...
He's been waiting for hours
Thanks a lot
Bye. Thanks a lot
Very delighted to meet you.
I am Nino
On vacation? Labor?
Work
I see. Looks serious
You don't hear it?
What?
Little bit noise. Like rubbing
Little what?
Rubbing
I can't hear anything
Excuse me
Can you take me
to the nearest town?
Please?
Where shall I drop you?
At the police station
Is it something bad?
My car got stolen.
That's not too awful. You're insured?
Yes. But there was some gear in it
Don't worry, the insurance will cover it
It's not as simple as that
He got me to stop the car.
When I got out
he drove off with all the gear
How did he make you get out?
He went for my ears
The insurance is bound to pay up
What sort of gear is it?
Shoes
Shoes?
Yes. I sell shoes
and slippers
I'm sorry
I'm really sorry
I hope I didn't hurt your feelings
I'm really sorry
I'm sure it will all...
work out
once you've reported it to the police
If I say I picked up a hitchhiker
I'll lose my job
We're not allowed to take hitchhikers
What a pain
Well...here goes
Did you report it? Did it work out?
I don't know what to do
I just don't know
Make your phone call
and I'll take you to the station, okay?
It's the best I can do
But if I tell the truth
I'll get fired for sure
And I'm not sure
the insurance will cover the gear
I don't like to make a false report...
but the car has to be broken into
It's the only way
I'm going to tell the truth
I'll risk it
This is Paco Cazale.
Is Mr. Letour there?
Not at the moment
He's out at a meeting.
Can I take a message?
No, I have to talk to him.
Somebody stole my car
Can he call you at your hotel?
I'll phone him again later
He's going to call the office
in an hour or two
Is there a number
where I can reach you?
Yes, hold on
Excuse me
Can he phone me here at your place
in an hour or two?
I have no choice
The number?
It's on the phone
I'm causing you a lot of trouble
You weren't to know
In the meantime
I'll make that police report
The car may never be found
so I may as well say
it was parked in a street
So your vehicle
was parked on Rue Davot
Where in the street?
Near number 22
And there was some gear in it
And...my luggage
But it was...properly parked!
Here in Le Guilvinec
Of course I locked it.
Of course I locked it!
No, please...
Just a minute, Mr. Letour
I wanted...one more thing
I'm allowed to stretch my legs!
But...of course the shoes were in it!
That's what I don't know!
I have no idea
You tell me!
Okay, I get it
Okay, no problem!
No problem, yeah...
f*ck you!
I guess I'm out of a job
It wasn't me!
He'll be okay
Don't worry,
he'll be up and about in a week
He'll be fine
So you mean...there's no problem?
It's just that...
I left in a hurry this morning
I didn't want to go away
without thanking you
I wanted to say...
I wanted to say...
Yes? You wanted to say what?
Nothing special. Just...
to thank you, I thought maybe...
I could take you out to dinner
but maybe it's not...
That's really kind. Roland?
Fancy dinner tonight?
Yeah, great!
Oh no, I can't tonight.
I'll grab a few CDs and get going
You were saying about your wife...
My wife and I are in the process
of separating...maybe
We decided to give each other
a month of total freedom
without any contact, for any reason
One month?
We meet again in three weeks to decide
if we should go back
and live together...
carry on as a couple...
or go our separate ways
It's a way of...
testing the feelings we have...
for each other
Obviously I can't go home
Obviously not,
under the circumstances
What's your name?
Marinette
I'm Paco
Paco Cazale.
I heard you on the phone
You're Spanish?
No, Catalan
And your wife?
She's Catalan too
No, I mean...
her first name. It's important.
Your name can change your life
Is Roland...?
You mean...
Roland's my brother
Why?
Just wondering
He could have been...
My husband
Is marriage important to you?
No, no...
I mean yes
I have a small question to ask you
Do you actually prefer
crayfish or crepes?
Crepes
It figures
It's pretty here
Very pretty
I must be out of my mind!
I don't know you...
Mind the water
That's my car!
What will you do?
I don't know
I have to find out
if the little thief locked the car
like I told the police
And then you'll go?
I don't know
You can stay tonight too, if you like
I hit you a bit hard
It's understandable.
You were very angry
Thanks, anyway
What for?
The police didn't come
I'll tell you where your car is
Okay. By the way...
Did you happen to lend it to someone?
Who would I lend it to?
And you locked it?
You know, I don't own much, so...
I'm not in the habit
The keys are in my pocket
So I've got the keys
That's something
You know, stealing cars
is not in my philosophy
Something got into me
when I saw all those shoes
A crazy urge to drive off in the car
I don't know...
I didn't go far
You found me here
Don't worry
You won't get into trouble
and you'll soon be out
You're a good sport
If I'd known...
Listen, I'll tell you the truth
I borrowed your car to seduce a woman
To seduce a woman?
As I don't have much luck with women
I wanted to seduce them by pretending
I have a job, nice car, the works
I even took it to the car wash
so it's not like I damaged it
You know, give a woman
a nice pair of shoes
always makes her happy!
I managed to stay the night with her
but it didn't work out
I slept at her place, yeah,
but on the couch
Early next morning
she asked me to...get out
That's funny
Why?
Because...
I also spent that night with a woman,
also on the couch
In fact, I met her thanks to you
Are you in love?
I think so
So?
What?
Nothing
Like that?
Like that...or like this
I got you a glass
What will you say
if you see your wife?
Do you want to live with her again?
Actually, I'm not married
I lied to you a little
Why?
Because it was...too complicated
The truth is
I split up with my girlfriend
and there's no way
I'm going back to her
Why did you make up that story?
I didn't think about it
I thought if I was married
I'd have more chance
that you would believe me
and trust me, in the middle...
of all that hassle
I wanted so much...to stay with you
I wanted it...really sincerely
Sometimes you can tell the truth
more easily with lies
All right?
I have something to tell you
Something difficult...
and delicate...
so I preferred to write it down
Can I read it now?
Paco, the day we met
you touched me,
made me laugh and surprised me
Something strong happened
I fell in love with you
before I knew it
I don't want to be hurt.
I fell in love suddenly once before
and he was unfaithful.
Our relationship was doomed
I'm afraid it'll happen again with you
Everything's moving too fast
I have a suggestion.
I'll tell you the truth without lies
I'd rather you left, Paco.
Make your lie come true
We give ourselves
three weeks of freedom
no contact whatsoever
Then, if you want, we'll meet again
Have affairs, if you must,
before we live togetherif we do
I'm not a onenight woman.
I need time
Three weeks apart
with no contact, whatever happens
Then we'll know
if we really want to meet again
This Marinette
you see again in three weeks?
It's all I think about
Till then,
you got nothing special to do?
How about we hit the road together?
If you want, of course
Hit the road?
Me, I'm on the road.
It's not always easy, but...
if you want,
we can hit the road together
All right?
Mister? Can I open the window?
Go ahead
What's that little...fir tree?
You know?
I see thing like that...
everywhere these days
It's a "magic tree". For the smell
Smells good, eh?
I'll let you out here. I turn right
Can't we stop here?
What you want in this hole?
There's nothing
We can sleep here
and go on tomorrow
No, to sleep...
we need to get to Pont L'Abbe.
Is okay there
There's a hotel here
It's not for me
Come on, it's a crummy hotel
Look, I...
I can't afford it
Don't worry. It's on me
Listen, for me is...
homeless shelters...
dodges...
Once or twice a month,
a year... What you call it?
Youth hostel
I can't afford it
I told you, it's on me. I'll pay
It won't cost much anyway
Don't worry. We get to Pont L'Abbe
I'll swing it. I'm used to it
I'm not waiting here for hours
to get some...weirdo
We stink to hell, Nino! I want a wash
Ten more minutes!
No! I'm staying here.
You do what you want
So? How does it feel?
How does it feel
to be on the road? To be here?
I feel like a chump
who had his car pinched...
and his job
Can I take a cigarette?
Eat, before it gets cold
Most of all I feel like...
a guy who has a chick on his brain
and doesn't know what to do
I'm not going to sponge on you.
I can take care of myself
I know
In any case...
Listen, I'm going for a leak
and then I'm going to bed
You order two coffees?
That was very good
We'll have two sh*ts
and two coffees, please
Can I use the phone?
Only local calls
Too bad. I wanted international
You have an accent. What is it?
I'm Russian
Funny things, phones.
Different in every country
In ltaly they're very small
In other countries big
Small... how do you say?
I forget every time
Small dial, big dial,
small receiver, big receiver
What's your first name?
I got a date with her later
You do?
Here's to your date
Stop, thanks
Isn't your friend coming down?
He's...tired
He's not too good on long distances
I thought you'd both be here. Pity
Pity
Guenaelle is a pretty first name
Is it Breton?
What's yours?
Funny... But it's not Russian
Yes, it's...
It's not Russ... Yes, it's ltalian
I'm Russian but originally from ltaly
I think...l'm going to quit, Nino
I don't know why I'm here
My head's full of Marinette
And where are we going?
I don't even know
I thought you knew
I don't. Where are we going?
Towards Nantes
Okay, but where?
We don't need to go any special place
All right?
Yeah, all right
This short cut is nice, isn't it?
Hold it. I just had a thought
The sun...
rises in the east, right?
Yeah, the sun's there
So we're heading west
Don't you ever want
to settle down somewhere?
Yeah, but where?
Why are you on the road?
I like it. It's in my philosophy
Done it for long?
Quite a while
Leaving aside your philosophy, really...
why do you do it?
Are you from the police?
I came from Russia two years ago
I came to France to marry a French girl.
We met out there
One week before the wedding,
she disappeared like smoke
So I lost the taste for stability
You have any questions,
ask them. I'm not gonna spend
days and nights talking about it
Did you never see her again?
Never
Never, never, never.
I tried everything
She vanished...like that
Maybe she thought she took a wrong turn
and wanted the little Russian
out of her life
Why didn't you go back home to Russia?
Because I looked too stupid
I left like a king
Imagine all my family, my friends...
"Good luck Nino!"
I was ashamed
I never think of going back
to face my folks
Maybe one day, if I have the guts
We're not getting far today
No, we're not getting very far
We're not getting very far
I had an idea. You interested
in that waitress last night?
Waitress? Why?
She asked us to dinner tonight
We'd have a place to sleep
and I was thinking...
I'm not interested in her
but you stand a chance, you really do
She said she'd invite another girlfriend
so maybe we could
turn around and go back
as we're not getting very far
I bet you can't walk on your head
Walk on your head
What do you mean?
Watch
Watch
Go on
See? I can walk on my head
That's not your head, it's your hands
No, it's my head. Watch
Watch me. You've landed on an expert
Let's go. Come on!
You ever went to Russia?
No, but maybe
I'll get the chance one day
It's a big, big country
I thought...
You thought compared to Spain, Russia...
Paella, of course...
No, Spain is very near to France
I've never been there
It's easy to go to Spain.
Russia is 1,000 miles
But I did...
Right, it's not exactly close...
I did actually...
When I went...
I have a friend who went to Galicia
Ah, Galicia
It's wild
They have mussels in Galicia as well
Very big mussels
They do have mussels.
And not only mussels!
Not only mussels. They also have...
those whatsit...Celtic things
I heard there's actually
no Celtic influence...
In Spain, Galicia
There is in Galicia
I heard it's a myth
A myth?
I read it in a magazine
Has anyone got a light? Hello!
Wait, wait!
This is Zippo
Zippos never go out, is that it?
Like I said,
now I appreciate French wine
We haven't clinked glasses
Where I come from,
we drink to get smashed
Simple as that
Now I appreciate French wine because...
A la votre
A la votre
"A la tienne" is closer
A little...more personal
"A la votre" is more distant
Cheers! None left?
A friend of mine went to Pamplona
for the bull run
Do you know it? Have you ever done it?
The Pamplona bull run? Yes
Sounds like fun
Yes, it's a lot of fun
You have to be careful
Yes. It's not just fun
I've never known any...cheeky men
As cheeky as me? This cheeky?
I'm the first one?
I like your shirt
Nothing in there
It's quite exotic
Incredibly exotic
Really exotic. Nothing in the pocket...
You know how we drink in Russia?
What are they doing?
Drinking Russian style
I want to, too. Do you?
Russian style? Spanish style?
Si?
You've been knocking it back!
That's Russian style
They go like this
Oh shit!
In the pocket...l'm sorry
Hey, who cares?
Look at me! Look!
Did it stain your pants?
Just stay there!
Look! I'm soaked!
I'll be right back
I'm soaked
Wake up
I was...waking
He doesn't travel much
Hey, Gwen! I took the liberty
I took your shirt
It's really thin
It doesn't keep me warm
Paco, would you...?
What's so funny?
It's really very thin.
Would you lend me your shirt?
I'm cold
I can lend you my sweater
No thanks, really
I've got a... No I haven't
My shirt?
It's very thin. It's pretty, but...
You're right, it's a bit thin
I think it's beautiful. Very French
Will you lend me your shirt?
Sure I will
Wait! We need, we need...
We need a drink, we need a drink
Will you come with me for a minute?
Really, I don't need it
I'm really cold!
Out in the hall it's cold
In your bedroom it's...
Listen, listen!
No, really
Here we go
Silly cow
I swear I'm cold
Drink! Nazdarovia!
You know...
I'm gonna tell you something
If they're having fun,
that's the main thing
That's what counts in life
That's what matters
You're really beautiful.
Very, very beautiful
I love...
I love the shape of your mouth
You're really wonderful
I swear I didn't make love to them
Do what you want but don't tell me lies
We fooled around, that's all
I know what I'm saying
There are two rubbers short
Two rubbers short
You poke in my things?
I don't poke in your things.
I picked it up
You left it lying around. I found it
and saw two were gone
Two rubbers!
Two rubbers...
You know what? Guenaelle's cousin
is getting married this weekend
out near Ploneour...
Ploneour Lanvern, you know?
I know
There's a party in the village hall
You wanna go?
It means going back
the way we came, but we could
Where's Paco?
He's here
He's somewhere
Having fun?
Drink?
No. I'll find him and come back
Don't what?
You had a good time
You bet
Cheers
I want to drink with you
Russian style. Go on
I give you a little wine
Watch, Paco
No, like this
Down the hatch
Down it!
I'm not thirsty
Do it. Do it!
f*cking do it!
Don't shout at her
Why you girls
all around the world the same?
Why? Tell me! Say something!
You not capable of any deep feelings?
I tell you. Deep feelings...
deep feelings to you are like Greek
And then you have the gall
to complain that you're not understood!
You're only interested
in goodlooking guys
You don't know how to look at a man
Simply a man
Feel and see what is inside him...
simply inside him
You know why? You want I tell you why?
Because you only interested
in appearance!
f*cking g*dd*mn shit!
Simply...
Sorry, Paco. I spoiled your evening
You're my pal, I spoiled
your evening but not on purpose
There's a good example
A lady. Simply...simply sitting
Look how she's sitting. Simply
There's no strength, no f*cking strength
Sorry I say "f*cking"
and "g*dd*mn shit"
but me being a foreigner,
I learn here in France
several words: "f*cking",
"g*dd*mn shit", "go to hell"
Sorry, lady.
But I also learn a good word:
"You have beautiful eyes"
And that's the truth
Can't we stop?
If we're hitching
there's no point walking
You see that town?
I see it
I'm sure, in that town,
there has to be a woman for you
A woman who loves you
but doesn't know it yet
I'm even sure...
that in every single town in France
there's at least one woman
who'd love you if she knew you
I mean at least one!
One is the minimum
So in all the towns in France...
Think about it. Add them all up
It's crazy. The potential is enormous!
The only problem with that town
is how to meet her
She's there
So we cross the river!
But to meet her, to meet her...
we have to locate her
so that you can meet
And you will. You know what we'll do?
I have an idea
We'll do an opinion poll
Opinion poll?
We'll make up a questionnaire
and pretend we're doing a poll
about women.
For a newspaper, for instance
So we can question women
without making them suspicious
Now, important...
The subject of the poll. We'll tell them
it's a poll about the ideal man
That way, we'll know right away
which woman suits you the best...
appeals to you the most...
...and is almost sure to like you
That's how we locate her
That's it
But wait. Are you sure
this...poll is reliable?
Reliable, yes...
if we ask the right questions
...and find the single women
You list the girls' names up to "P",
I'll do the rest
Get the addresses, too
I have an idea for a question.
How about this?
"Do you want...
for a woman to like philosophy in men?"
No, that's not it
If she likes men...who like philosophy?
That's it
I thought about another one
"Does your ideal man
necessarily have to be French?"
That's damn good
And part two: "Do you like Russians?"
No, we can't ask if they like Russians.
It's too direct
"Do you like fat men?"
What's your questionnaire, guys?
Looks interesting
Tell him
It's a questionnaire for women
About the ideal man
Wide subject
Can I ask you something?
Go ahead
What's your name?
Baptiste
Nice to meet you
Nino, Russian from ltaly
Ask your question!
Paco, Spanish from Catalonia
Great
Ivory Coaster from Brittany
Here's my question:
How did you meet your girlfriend?
That's easy.
By playing "Good Morning France"
What's the matter?
"Good Morning France"?
I know. I saw on TV one day...
No, it's a game I made up
with some pals
It's fun. It goes like this
There are three of us,
all at separate tables
Got it?
Somebody walks by
If it's my turn, I say "Good morning"
If he says "Good morning" back,
I score a point
If he doesn't...
Okay
Why "France"?
Because the passersby are French
We're not French
Who cares? Anyone can play
Not everyone in France is French.
If it's a girl you get two points
That's good
Good morning!
'Morning
I get a point
Do kids count?
No
Good morning!
Zero
One point for me
Check out the dog!
He scores three points. Get it?
Go back where you belong
I already am
No points for me, obviously!
Good morning, girls
That makes four
Not three?
Three for you
I'm in the lead
Good morning France!
Have to take the stairs.
The elevator's down
Never mind
Let's go
Wait a second. Tell me one thing
I'm going to ask you something.
Tell me...
frankly and directly
I never ask direct questions
but I have to ask this one
Get the f*ck on with it!
Wait...
Ask the question!
Is your girlfriend nice?
Great question!
She's wonderful, she's nice
Where are the stairs?
Over there
Look out, Nino. You'll hurt yourself
We'll make it, you'll see
f*ck, this hurts!
Concentrate your strength
instead of f*cking singing!
Wait... Help me
That's it. Go right, right!
I mean left, left
Okay, let's go
Go on, go on!
Okay, here goes
This is no time
for a women's questionnaire!
I told you she was nice.
Go on, explain to her
We'd like...if you could...
He said you could...
What's this about?
I'll explain. Wait, Paco
We met this great guy, Pastis.
We met him...
Baptiste!
Sorry. Baptiste
What we want, my own sweet love,
is for you to type
their questionnaire
What questionnaire?
A questionnaire about a poll. A poll...
What poll?
First let me say your husband is great
We know that. Everyone knows
I'm a Breton and Bretons are...
Wait, wait, Baptiste
It's about a questionnaire
because Paco and l,
we're studying philosophy.
We're doing a...
Why do you always laugh? Shit!
Let me explain
Wait, wait!
Honey, honey
They need a questionnaire
for an opinion poll
But tell me...
About the ideal man
You take their list
It's not about women?
Good night. Sleep well
Thanks a lot
If you need anything, just ask
Miss Quelec?
This is an opinion poll
An opinion poll
Oh, yes. About what?
"Do you like a man
who shows philosophy in his life?"
Yes
Passionately, a lot, a little,
very little, or not at all?
A lot
Passionately?
A lot
Good. Now the next one: "For you,
does the ideal man
necessarily have to be French?"
No, not necessarily
In that case, I suppose even...
if he's Russian...
Why not?
Do you like Victor Hugo?
I've never read Victor Hugo.
I'd say...I don't know
Okay, never mind
It really doesn't matter
You have beautiful eyes
Thank you
It's true
Ask me your questions!
How would you describe
your ideal man?
Ideal man? I don't know
I'd say...he's a good driver
Would you rather
he was tall, thin, beefy, small...
or you don't mind how he's built?
He should be average height and strong
I haven't got "strong". Beefy, thin...
Beefy, average height
What if he's small
but has tons of charm?
As long as he's taller than me
A bit taller? Let's say not smaller
Right
Actually...
How tall are you?
Five feet two
Five two. I'll note it just in case
So, upwards of five two...
Five one would do, though, wouldn't it?
As long as he's not too small...No?
What's an inch between friends?
Hey guys! How's the vote count going?
It's going fine
There's a very interesting one
amongst the chicks I met
This one. Look
I absolutely have to meet her!
How can we do it?
I've thought of that.
As we have her address
I can meet her accidentally on purpose
You'll see, she's nice
I'll try to meet her in a bar
for a drink
and as soon as the mood is right
I'll make up a reason to leave
and it's over to you
You think she'll come?
She'll come. I think so.
If not, she would have refused
You think it'll work?
You have a lot of attributes
Yeah, you're right
Let's sit at a table.
It looks more respectable
and that way
we'll see her coming. Okay?
Yeah, you're right
Here she comes
The chick from the poll
Fougere
You like to drink something?
A cup of tea
And a beer for me
Please? One tea, one beer
So you do opinion polls?
Is it interesting?
Yes, very interesting
You have to show...psychology
and I have to admit
Nino does it much better than me
He shows...
a lot of... What can I say?
He's an expert psychologist?
Exactly
We don't get many polls around here
What company do you work for?
That reminds me. I have to phone...
my company
I have to phone. Be right back
He got a date.
They're spending the evening together
Cool!
Yeah. She looks nice, too
He's in for some fun
lt'll work
Hang on
It's so stupid, waiting like this
Got a problem?
No, it's okay
I almost blew the whole thing
Really?
It's okay
What's wrong?
Won't you tell me?
No, it's...
I can tell something's wrong
A deal's a deal
Say what?
...and here
Don't worry, I got condoms
Do you often make love?
No, I'm not like that
You can't fool me.
With all your charm, I bet you do
I swear I don't
Why are you lying? I can't stand lies
I'm not lying.
I swear I'm not lying
I do it sometimes, like everybody
Do you care about me anyway?
Of course I do
'cause you're gorgeous
and you have lots of lovely,
pretty things...like here...
and here...all over
Now I really want you
There's no way a man like you
can love a girl like me...
Why?
...and want me. No way
I can, I do! I really want you
You don't
I do
I'm fully aware...
that you're too good for me
Why?
No. I know it's impossible
Wait
I know my body
isn't good enough for you
Don't pretend!
I'm not. Listen...
Listen! What's the matter? Come back!
No! I can't stand lies
I'm...l'm not lying
I want to die!
Why?
I want to die! I want to die!
I have to try and get paid
I'll get them to wire me the money
By the time you get it...
Better find another solution
Funny guy. What's your solution?
Don't worry, I'll think of something
I bet
Thanks to him we'll get a good meal
You crazy? You're not gonna hurt him
Of course we're not gonna hurt him
We're just gonna find his owner.
Must be that little farm there
We'll put his small cow
back in the field
and I'll think of something
The farmer turned out okay, eh?
You know how to use that?
Huh?
You know how to use it?
I've done it a hundred times!
I'll cut, you pick up. Okay?
Grab that, will you?
That's the spirit!
What do I do with this?
Wait. Put it down
f*ck, my jacket!
Watch what you're doing! Shit!
Get on with it!
Look out. This isn't a game
Give me that
Wait...
Give. I want to cut too
No, wait
Give it to me! You already cut.
It's easy
Gimme!
Wait a second
I know how to do it
Okay!
Let me! You already cut!
Hurry! He's hurt himself!
What the hell are you up to?
What have you done, for God's sake?
Holy shit! You said you knew how!
Quick, call the doctor!
No! No doctor!
The doctor knows me.
I don't want any trouble. Forget it!
Nobody's gonna f*cking talk!
Take this, beat it
and don't tell anyone!
You wrecked my chainsaw!
Beat it!
We'll get you to the doctor
Take it easy!
We'll find the doctor.
He'll do something...
Okay?
Is it bleeding?
Yes!
Look out! It's bumping!
Look out!
You're sure it's here?
"Yvon Le Marrec G.P."
Go on then! Ring the f*cking bell!
Go on in
Come on, Nino! f*cking help me
Wait, I'll ask him
Chainsaw
That's a chainsaw cut
Is it?
Don't worry. I moonlight too, sometimes
But... Aren't you a doctor?
Yes, I'm a doctor but...
I only just started
I'm a beginner
So where's our luggage?
It burned
What?
It burned
Burned? What?
Our luggage burned
Our luggage burned?
And our bags
What do you mean, burned?
The farmer burned it all
The farmer burned our bags?
Why?
To leave no trace...that we exist
Oh, f*ck!
Don't worry...
For f*ck's sake, Nino!
Why did you leave them behind?
How could I...with you...?
Somehow, for f*ck's sake!
I couldn't. I was...
You saw how he yelled
He's crazy
I had all my things in it!
My shirts, everything...
It's okay. I...
Yeah, okay, fantastic
I'll think of something
The luggage is nothing
My bag burned too
Move it!
What's this?
Let's go!
Wait! I can't run
I've had it with these country lanes
I want a road. A main road with cars
We'll find one
God, I don't believe it!
What?
Look at that
It can't be!
Can't be what?
That's my wife
What?
That's my wife
Your wife?
The one I was supposed to marry
That chick there?
She's your wife?
She's my wife! Can't you see?
I don't know her. How could I?
No, it's...
Are you sure?
No, I'm not sure.
But she looks so much like her
But...was that her kind of...?
Not really... No, it's not her
No, it's her
God, she looks so like her!
It's not her. Forget it, it's not her
You got it wrong
Blondes with nice busts
are a dime a dozen
I don't believe it
Forget it. Come on, let's go
Forget it!
Forget it, it's not her
Don't look at her.
You're hurting yourself
Let it go. Forget it
I need to talk to Mr. Letour
It's about money. I worked...
No. I need to talk to him.
I can't wait till Monday
I need it now
Okay. I'll phone on Monday
It's good, eat
Can you do me a favor?
You want to phone Marinette?
Got a coin?
Go on
You don't want to talk?
I can't
What do I say?
Ask for Roland
Okay
Can I talk to Marinette, please?
Oh, it's you
Can I talk to Roland please?
Oh really?
He doesn't live there anymore.
He never did. Okay
No, it doesn't matter
I just thought...lt doesn't matter
I'll...phone him later. Okay thanks,
thanks a lot. Goodbye
She has a pretty voice
I've got to change my bandage
This is for you
What is it?
Look
A shirt? Where did you get it?
The farmer gave me
He gave you a shirt?
No, money.
He gave me money and I bought it
He gave you money for the luggage?
No. Because...we had the accident
To make us go quicker
he gave me some money
and I bought the shirt
After the accident he gave you money?
Not bad, eh?
Thanks
My pleasure
What a drag.
We can't even afford a drink
I'm cleaned out
I'm cleaned out
You want a drink?
You do?
I have a great trick. It never fails
We go in, talk to a customer,
make contact and he buys us a drink
Okay?
Two beers please
It's nice and warm in here
Better than outside
Sorry?
Better than outside
Better than outside, yeah
Nice place
Cheers
"Cheers" in Breton?
It's a beautiful language
All's well
Cheers
Here, chief
Goodbye
I need my money!
I worked for it before...
You can wire me what you owe me
I need it. I worked for it!
I earned it! I'm not asking for charity
I worked for it. Now I need it
It's simple. I need the money
Sorry!
I'm so sorry! Are you all right?
I'm really sorry
Are you okay?
Is anything broken?
I'm so sorry
I'll be okay
Are you sure?
Get in. I'll take you home
Does it hurt a lot?
No, I'm okay
Shall I take you to a doctor?
I'll be okay
Are you sure?
Shall I take you home?
What?
I'll take you home. Where do you live?
Actually, yes... I'll try
to remember the way.
I'm visiting. Staying with friends
just for a few days
Where do your friends live?
It's left here. Left...
Sure?
Yes
I recognize it here...a bit
All towns look the same
I think this place
looks like Le Guilvinec
You think so?
Don't you?
So you travel a lot?
Yes, quite a lot
Around and about
That's why I'm a bit...
Do you travel in France or abroad?
In France mostly. Abroad as well
Around and about
You live from day to day
It's my kind of life
Freedom...
It's a matter of...philosophy
Your leg looks better
Yes, you're right
Funny, that
You're right
Wasn't it the other leg?
Oh, the car. Yes, but...
I hurt this one before
I have an injury
I've got to pick up
the kids from school
Can we meet again?
Meet again?
Just meet
I don't know
Maybe
I'd like...one evening...maybe dinner...
When are you leaving?
I don't know. I'm expecting
a wiretransfer in a few days
All right. But on the last evening
Last evening?
The evening before you go
Preferably a Tuesday or Thursday,
when the kids are at my sister's
Hi! Sit down
This is my friend Antoine
All set!
It's been arranged.
Two beds for two nights
The shelter manager is nice, eh?
Yeah, we talked. He's a cool guy
Do you think...
he would lend me some money
till the wire comes through?
Do they do that?
He can ask, yeah?
The effect she has on me...
is incredible
You've really got to see her
What about Marinette?
I'm all mixed up
She still matters enormously...
and all this is because of her
God, this woman is...
And she intimidates me, you know?
She has a personality...
I don't know... Something...
incredible
Can you write?
What?
Can you write?
Of course I can write
I don't mean that
Can you write fancy sentences, phrases?
Yeah, why?
Help me write a letter
for Antoine, okay?
Maybe you could start by...
giving him your news.
Tell him how things are going
I think he wants to say, "Dad,
it's no good. I feel bad"
You can't start a letter with
"Dad, it's no good"
Why not? I think it's an okay start
"Dad, it's no good..."
What do you think, Antoine?
It's not a bad start
I don't know
I don't think much of it
Suggest something else
What do you want, Antoine?
What I want is impossible
Yeah, but...
if it was possible, what would you want?
If it was possible, I'd want to go home
That's where he lives
There?
I've been thinking. It's better if...
It's not so good if we both go
We need one person who looks respectable
You could be right
In that jacket...
You have a jacket too. You go
No, wait!
Look, mine's not very smart
It's fine. It's better if you go
You know Antoine better
and you know the hard life
Is Antoine's dad in?
Good morning...
It's about Antoine...
Are you his father?
Yes. Is he in trouble?
No, no
It's a letter...from Antoine to you
I just came to deliver it
A letter? He never wrote to me before
You know it's very hard
to be separated
from someone you want to be with,
especially when it's your father
He mucked around. He made his choice
Yes, but...
mucking around
can sometimes help you see more clearly
I won't have him
setting a bad example for the kids
Yes, but the homeless shelter
isn't his place
He should've thought of that
Wait. Let me tell you something
You know...
if you don't have love
it can be very hard
I'm sure it's gonna work!
He's a great guy
I'm sure he's gonna phone him.
It's gonna work
We'll see with Antoine. Nice work
I like this little place.
My sister had a problem
so all my kids are home
I didn't know how to warn you
Quite a little crowd you have here!
Sit down
One, two, three, four...
There's a fifth one in there
Five!
Don't be long, kids
No, not like that
You want to see a trick? Watch closely
My name's Paco
What's yours?
Rudi
Mine's Maxime
Watch closely
Don't look there, look here
Time to clear up
The problem is,
I didn't have time to shop
I didn't expect to have the kids.
I don't know what we'll eat
Mom, there's some pasta left
There is?
I love cooking
Can I go out?
Okay, but not for long.
Where are you going?
Into town
Who with?
A friend
Don't go out like that. It's freezing
Is that yours too?
Yes, he's mine
I'll add a bit of onion...
Could you slice those for me?
I could
Okay
You know what is grand cuisine? Chive!
Where is chive?
Okay, chive
Now a bit more gas...
Why is no more gas?
No more gas?
I forgot to change the bottle. Oh no!
Shit, I didn't finish my recipe
Damn. We'll have to get another one
We can get it
Would you mind?
Right, Paco?
Go ahead. We don't both need to go
I'll finish the potatoes,
slice them and so on...
No, both of you go. I'll do the potatoes
Can I put my feet on the pedals?
Stop!
I told you it wasn't properly tied on
Why didn't you do it then?
It's no big deal
Let me
You want a hand?
You know, Paco
I don't think I put enough onion...
You what?
What do you think?
About what?
If I put enough onion
Cool down about your recipe
and onions, will you?
It doesn't taste the same
You think I can't see what you're up to?
What am I up to?
Are you jealous?
Jealous? I'm not jealous
but you're not playing straight
It's obvious. Look at you!
You're not playing straight, Nino
What am I doing?
I invited you along
and look what happens
That's a good one!
Yeah, it's a riot
What am I doing?
You're not doing anything, huh?
I arrived and...
You're not coming on to her?
No I'm not
You're coming on nonstop.
Don't bullshit me
You crazy?
You're crazy, not me
You deal with your gas bottle. I'm off!
Go on, f*ck off!
It's amazing what you've done with...
There's nothing to it
Eh, Paco? A little onion and...
This is great. Nice place. Fantastic
I rather be a smoker in the country
than a nonsmoker in Paris
Nino, we ought to go soon
Sleep here if you like
No, we don't want to bother you
Why not?
It's no bother
If Nathalie says we can stay, why not?
It suits us
We're not going to act proud, are we?
What's the point?
I said it's no bother
See?
No problem
It doesn't fold out
but it's okay to sleep on
I'll let Paco have it. I can sleep here
There's a spare bed in my room
for the kids, when they can't sleep.
It's a real bed
No problem for me.
You'll be more comfortable
I'm off. I have to be up at 7 a.m.
Shall I show you?
Well, good night
Good night. See you tomorrow
I'm glad I met you both
I'm glad I met you too
Would you come
and cook for me again tomorrow?
With pleasure
Dinner, just you and me?
If you're wondering if we...
I don't want to know
Nothing happened
I don't care!
All I care about now is my money
There's some money for you. Your I.D.?
Great!
I'll buy you a drink
Tonight, a good little hotel...
It'll do us good
It's good to have some dough
Dinner's on me tonight
Is that all you can say?
Aren't you really happy?
Yeah...
"Yeah"? What's up?
I have to tell you something
Go on
You won't get angry?
No, go on
Tonight I have a chance to see her
See her?
Yeah, Nathalie. See Nathalie
Oh. Okay
Nice work, Nino
I thought you weren't coming on to her
I wasn't. It's just the way it happened
I don't care. Suit yourself
You're angry
I'm not angry
Are you very mad at me?
I'm a bit cheesed off
But really, it's okay
I promise I'm not mad at you
And like you say...
it's just the way it happened
I'm going to buy some cigarettes
Be right back
What?
If Paco had been on his own
without me...
would you have stayed with him?
Stayed? No
Would you have slept with him?
Yeah, maybe
You sleep...just like that?
No, I don't sleep just like that
How, then?
I'm going to tell you something
very few people know
You want to hear?
A long time ago...
14 years ago,
the age of my eldest son...
I was very much in love with a man
I wanted to have a baby with him
It happened, and then
he didn't want it. He left
I was very miserable
I got over it
and discovered the joy of having a child
An immense joy,
like nothing I'd ever known
I wanted to do it again,
give him brothers and sisters
I wanted loads of them
but never a man
so I wouldn't be let down
So I had more kids,
but always with somebody passing through
They all have different fathers
and none of the fathers know
There
You know... It's funny, but...
when I saw you...
I realized how very alone I am
It made me want to be with you
If I have one more, it'll be with you
You mean it?
I wanted you to know
And I want you to know...
if you want to stay, it's okay with me
Okay? Big smile?
Was it fine?
You're looking good this morning
Are you angry?
No, I'm not angry. On the contrary
It's good like this. Very good
Otherwise I might have screwed up
in terms of Marinette...
It's much better this way
You like it?
It's great
How about mine?
Yours is nice
Nathalie will like it, eh?
Thanks a lot
You have a nice guitar
It has a good sound
I'll teach you a Russian song
Want to sing along?
I don't know it
I'll show you. We sing in G
Come on!
With me!
I'm seeing Marinette tomorrow
Great! Now we both
have a woman in a port
Can I ask you to do something?
Will you come with me?
Come with you? Yeah
That way you can go first
Go first?
If you go first, you can talk to her
Because...if she says no...
I might not be able...
to handle it
Don't park too close,
so she won't see me
My name's Nino
Paco sent me
He's here
Don't bother
Where are you going?
Don't we go back to the house?
The house? f*ck the house!
Don't shout at me. It's not my fault
Go on, tell me
You want to hear it all?
Everything she said?
Everything
She loves you
Why didn't she wait?
Why didn't she wait?
Wait, I'll tell you
She loves you a lot.
She loved you a lot
She's a wonderful woman
but like that, you know? Like that!
Why didn't she wait?
Let me tell you!
Because she loved you a lot
I'm going to see her. I'm going now
Wait, Paco
I'm going to see for myself
Wait
Wait for what? Spit it out!
She has somebody else. She has somebody
She has somebody. There
I see Tudy wants some more
Does he want some more or not?
Yacine, you okay down there?
Who?
Everybody
Maxime,
don't you want to try a little...?
Want some wine, Nathalie?
The soup's got to be finished.
