Stop. Let's stop there.
That's still not it.
What now?
Don't be mad, we're just working.
I'm not, but we've done it 10 times.
It's not my fault if you can't kiss her.
You need to kiss her for real.
My lips were on her mouth.
But the issue is the meaning behind it.
You want to run away together
to destroy what you've built and start fresh.
It needs to be wild, free.
- More intense? - Yes, more intense.
More...
Something real!
Technique wise, open your mouth more,
use your lips more, make it less structured.
- Unstructured lip movements. - Ok, let's go.
Tell me, honestly,
what made you marry this man?
He's remarkable.
Don't lie.
- That's still not it. - Enough!
- Do it yourself, then. - Ok.
Sorry, excuse me.
I'll be you and he'll be you, ok?
Don't lie.
Right, I think...
- Something like that. - Yeah, not bad.
- You felt it? - Yeah.
Next scene?
Definitely.
For the next scene, I was thinking we could all...
Nora?
Have you seen Nora?
- Where's Nora? - Dunno.
WHERE AM I?
STAGES OF LOVE
Ivanov's character is depressed.
Depression has this detached feeling
with an overdeveloped superego.
This made me think of Marty McFly in Back to the Future Part II.
Because he comes back
and sees himself take action.
Plus, the quote by Wittgenstein we discussed earlier,
"The limits of my language are the limits of my world."
So, that's the meeting point.
Marty McFly and Wittgenstein.
Let's stop there.
The premiere's very soon, but it'll be beautiful.
- Thank you. - Thanks.
Very interesting.
- Do you have a minute? - Sure.
Have you reconsidered the flooring?
That flooring is beautiful,
but too expensive.
- Too expensive? - Yes.
It'll be the highlight of the show!
Ladies and gentlemen, we will soon be arriving at Paris Est,
the final stop on this train.
Henri!
This is big, I really hustled to get you an audition.
- All of Paris wants in. - Yeah?
Yes, Noémie's first feature was incredible.
Compelling, great reviews.
And François Graziani. All of his films are hits.
Just saw him on a poster.
He's everywhere. No internet in the country?
Jokes aside, there might be other auditions,
but not that many.
Don't worry, I'm motivated.
Yeah, but everyone's motivated.
It's harder to break through later in life.
Later in life? Don't exaggerate.
With social media, 30s are the new 50s.
- Yep. - So what do I do?
I told them you were 26.
You're kidding.
No. Makes no difference.
Why'd you say it then?
What's the big deal?
I suck at lying.
You're an actor, right?
François plays a sociologist who loses his funding.
To make ends meet,
he commits burglaries with his best friend.
- A comedy? - Not only.
It's political, epic, it's about friendship.
And it's really important
we elevate the characters to highlight their adventurous side.
- Grapes? - You see?
No, thank you.
- It starts off realistic. - Try them!
The film takes a jab at the system,
but then it has to ramp up.
Delicious.
The characters end up finding more than just money.
Something intangible and transcendent.
- Do you follow? - A taste for danger?
- Rings a bell? - Look at me.
Adventure is in my blood.
- Known each other long? - Yes.
This is our second film.
Her short films blew my mind.
- Whatever. - I had to work with you.
François can read people,
see their potential.
- Shall I start filming? - Sure.
I read your resume.
A lot of theater experience for a 26-year-old.
Yes, that's because
I started at a young age.
We started the troupe in college
and did all our shows together.
I saw them all.
Excuse me?
I loved your shows with Nora Kerber.
They were incredible.
Thanks.
Shall we?
Sure, sorry.
I'll introduce myself. I'm Henri.
Your parents liked Balavoine?
They had photos of him everywhere.
My friends thought he was my aunt.
Yes?
Totally.
I know. Let's lock it in and discuss it later.
Talk to you soon. Take care.
That was Noémie. They loved you.
- You sure? - Yes, why?
They didn't seem that into me.
Stop it, she loved you and wants to work with you.
What are you saying?
You got the part!
I'm proud of you.
I did nothing.
That's what you do best.
Tell Nora.
Yeah, sometimes there was choreo too.
- Choreo? - It was sorta like choreo.
I think I saw some coverage on it,
it's a martial art of grappling.
It's symbolic, esthetic,
political and...
What?
You said political.
Shoes are definitely political.
- No, they're not. - They are.
But people choose their shoes and that tells a story.
Ever seen a shoe go vote?
No, but your outfit, it's political.
- Between 6 and 12, you did 'em all? - No way.
- Until I was 13. - You did that for 6 months.
Take a look at this.
You brought them with you?
Shit, sorry.
- Is your computer ok? - I think it is.
Go if you need to work.
Didn't you have something to tell me?
No worries, it can wait.
Ok, that makes it easier.
Thanks
- Should we go? - Yeah.
Shit.
What? What's wrong?
I've got it.
Sorry, you remember how
we were stuck at the end of act 2?
I've got a solution.
- You're working? - Let me get this down or I'll forget.
Remember I had an audition for a movie?
- Yeah. - I got the part.
Really?
Yes, really.
When is it?
It starts right away.
But how?
We're doing the show.
Ivanov's in every scene. What are we going to do?
Don't you believe in multitasking?
I've never been in a movie, I'd like to try.
I won't be the first to do a play and a movie at the same time.
To do them well, maybe.
It'll be fine, trust me.
You got the new script?
No, I didn't.
We'll get you one.
Michaël, can you get Henri the updated script?
It doesn't matter for today.
I rewrote the ending, it was too...
straightforward.
- You'll let me know? - Sure.
Your and François's living room.
- You like it? - Looks great.
I'm not sure about the couch.
What's wrong with it?
It's just missing something, you know?
Yeah, I see.
A soul?
Yeah, or some pillows.
Five minutes.
We gotta go.
It's a busy day, sorry.
The schedule's changed, it's a mess.
We'll need to start right away.
You won't have time to relax.
I relaxed on the train.
Should I get glasses?
No, the bottles are fine.
Great, go and get dressed.
- Then we'll start? - Yes.
See you shortly.
How's it going?
Welcome, my friend.
- You met the team? - Part of it.
Everyone's really cool, except Lou.
- Cut it out! - Hey.
This is Henri. Great actor.
Welcome, Henri Great Actor.
Here's your costume, you can change there.
Thanks.
So professional.
Jeez, stop getting in the way.
Hurry, come here.
Don't worry, Henri.
When everyone's late, that means no one is.
Drinks tonight?
I can't, gotta catch a train.
Right, your rehearsal.
What play?
Ivanov.
- Love that play! - Never saw it.
I tried to take you.
Fine, we'll go see Henri.
Good.
- Ready? - Ready.
Thanks.
Police, stop!
Stop!
Why's he so slow?
Shit.
Ok, cut!
Cut.
End clap.
Scene 27C, take 6, end clap.
Right.
I don't buy it. You're too close together.
We know, but he's too slow.
Henri, we can make the camera shake,
but we need a bit more speed.
It's like they're training for the Olympics,
running like mad.
Sorry, I won't rewrite the script so you end up in jail.
- Of course not. - So we agree.
I believe in you.
Let's go. You got this.
Police!
With a mirror? An actual mirror?
To convey the character's cowardice.
Quiet on set.
Roll sound. Rolling.
You know that we can't rehearse without you.
I know, but I was stuck on set for an important scene.
Ok, no worries.
See you tomorrow, then?
Don't worry, we'll make up for lost time.
Yeah.
I could work and think for hours
without feeling tired.
"But now I do nothing."
Shit.
I could work and think for hours without feeling tired.
But now I do nothing.
I don't think about anything.
My conscience hurts.
I'm exhausted in body and mind.
I feel extreme guilt.
"But I can't..."
But I can't understand why.
My house makes me sick.
It's worse than prison.
"I can't stand my wife's company."
Damn it, this sucks!
This scene is annoying, there's no flow.
All this time and effort, for nothing?
We need to face the facts.
I've got an idea.
- What? - I'll show you.
Cut!
Cut, thank you.
Perfect, François.
Henri, it's really important
you stand up when the camera's next to you.
But I can't see it.
You're not looking at it, but you can see it.
Use your peripheral vision.
For example, I'm looking at you.
But I can tell when Pierre raises his arm.
Pierre, raise your arm.
There, I saw it.
I saw it again.
Got it?
- You sure? - I got it.
We'll run out of pizza.
It's fine, we'll get there.
- Enough for 6 takes. - That's plenty.
- You listening? - Yes.
Don't forget who your character is.
Marco is a ray of sunshine.
- He embodies warmth. - I know.
I'm gonna order more pizza.
No, I can do it.
Henri, focus. I want vivacity, enthusiasm, joy, euphoria.
Are you listening, Henri?
Yes, damn it! I got it.
Sorry.
Get a grip and focus.
We're all waiting on you.
This isn't your girlfriend's play.
It'll be fine.
She shouts her lines, like when she says,
"To love, to stop loving..."
Then she hops in the car
to give a more intimate speech.
I'd like to try that in a car to see how things unfold with Henri.
Henri, what do you think?
Henri?
Is he asleep?
For real?
- What? - We're here.
Is your grandma picking us up from the train station?
No idea.
You upset?
No, I'm great.
Next stop, Charleville Mézière.
Don't make a sound, princess.
We're in trouble, princess.
We should've gone another way.
Why, is it dangerous?
Silly fool, Babybel Wizard lives in this forest.
No, this is the Bois de Vincennes! We're safe.
Babybel, Babybel!
You'll wake him. He'll smell your stinky feet!
Hear that?
What do I hear?
Babybel!
You're in my domain.
I will devour you!
I will gobble you up!
Run as fast as you can!
Tremble,
miserable woodlice.
I am the master of this magical forest
where I love to lounge around
and devour little children
while singing my favorite songs.
Pardon me.
I'm not sure how I'll eat you, maybe with some puff pastry,
a little roux and cream,
or a white sauce.
Henri gets better and better.
This wasn't part of the plan!
Shit.
Henri said, "Shit!"
Shit, shit, shit!
- What a baby! - Bravo!
You didn't have to drive me, I didn't drink much.
You were mixing up your kids.
I can't help it if your mom and sister look alike.
What just happened with your nieces and nephews?
What do you mean?
- They were spot-on. - Right!
- It's true. - Everyone was in stitches.
I should get beaten up more often.
You were a bit off, though.
- Excuse me? - No?
You have to hold back on screen,
so bad habits develop.
No offense.
Can't wait to see your Ivanov.
Thanks, Nanette, but there's no play at the moment.
Why not get back to it?
Good question. We should all get back to it.
Who's that for?
Not for me.
It's so irritating when you do this.
What?
You think you're controlling your emotions,
but you're not.
He's right.
Let it out, my dear. It's good for you.
I'm great, Nanette.
"I'm great, Nanette."
Did you jot down my birthday party date?
- Yeah. - You can count on us.
Can we count on you?
- What's your deal? - You're so annoying.
Shit.
Is this seatbelt just for decoration?
What the hell? Chill out.
I am chill.
Where you going?
Why are we doing this play?
What d'you mean?
Because we can't do anything else?
We have to pay the bills?
- Stop. - To pay off our loans?
To perform in prestigious venues?
To do something unique!
Exactly.
Something unique that reflects who we are.
To showcase our connection. That's what it's always been.
Otherwise, no one feels a thing. Shows are pointless.
I agree with you.
The premiere is in 2 months!
Everyone's waiting. I work 18 hours a day, I have 12,000 production,
technical, security, and PR questions.
And I love doing all that, actually.
I just wish you'd be at the theater when I got there.
Just that, but no.
And when you do get there,
you're still not there.
Making excuses, it's always everyone else's fault.
You think it's easy for me?
You can see I'm struggling.
No sleep, always on trains.
But you chose to do that.
You got yourself into this.
You're in your own world.
You said you'd make it work.
- I'm doing my best! - It's not enough.
We deserve better.
And yet again,
I'm the one yelling for us to get somewhere.
I'm always reviving and supporting the team.
But who supports me?
No one.
You're right.
I thought there was room for change.
But I guess I was wrong.
And what will they do?
Who?
The film crew.
If you leave, what'll they do?
I won't leave the movie.
It's important to me.
You're leaving me?
No, I'm leaving the play.
And that's not the same thing?
I should've seen this coming.
Seen what?
That you'd become what we vowed to never become.
What's that exactly?
An opportunist.
Like you said, we've been coasting for months.
I didn't say that.
Not on the same page, no longer in love.
We're by each other's sides,
but not even.
I have a new dream.
It's mine, not ours, and you can't stand it.
I can't spend my life acting in your plays, Nora!
You need to accept that.
Come on, open it.
Open the door.
You alright?
Yeah.
- Sure? - Totally.
What're you doing?
Smoking again?
Nora and I had both quit.
But I'm a free man now.
I can see that. How inspiring.
Not gonna lie,
this won't be an easy transition.
But it'll be a great opportunity.
One chapter ends, another begins.
Don't jump though. My neighbors already hate me.
I'm late.
- No dinner? - I've got a screening.
- I'll see you later then. - Bye.
How will we put on Ivanov without Ivanov?
We'll find a better Ivanov.
Got anyone in mind?
Yeah.
Niels and I are on it.
Who'd you find?
I can't really tell you much.
Give me one name.
Thibault Seagull.
- Thibault Seagull? - Among others.
What's he been in?
In The Seagull.
Don't worry, we'll find another actor.
Have some faith in us.
It's not a question of faith.
- Then what? - Meanwhile, we'll do yoga?
Meanwhile, we'll keep rehearsing. We're here.
Henri was in every scene.
So I thought about that,
and the best solution is to have Esther
say his lines in the meantime.
That's right.
- Me? - Yeah.
You kidding?
Why not?
I have a part already.
We can put Anna's scenes on hold.
Wait, playing Anna
is an emotional investment.
Ask Niels to do it.
No, I'm not an actor.
You're clearly not.
Everyone needs to pitch in.
I'm just asking for a favor. We all need your help.
- Just for a few days? - Yes.
It'll be sorted out by next week.
Ok, it's installed.
Great.
Some good news already.
Get ready, you won't believe your eyes.
It's beautiful.
- May I? - Go ahead, buddy.
- You ok? - I'm ok.
What'd you step in? It's very fragile.
- Shit. - Here.
It's an ice skating rink!
- We can't use that. - Stop exaggerating, it's fine.
We'll find a solution.
- How about cleats? - Yes, appropriate footwear.
No one goes near my shoes.
Try no stilettos for once.
See where my stiletto ends up!
Nora, Juliette is threatening me.
"Nora!"
Seriously, stop.
How could you make a floor that we can't stand on?
Stop it, chill out!
First of all, the floor is stunning.
That's what matters.
Thanks.
Nothing ever works perfectly on the first try.
So let's work with this material.
We'll engage with the floor.
Let's try scene 2.
David,
go ahead.
Please.
I love you deeply.
How was it?
It was cold.
Know how people have a good and bad side?
Watching the dailies, you don't.
I have two bad sides?
You have a sad side and a happy side.
That's your complexity.
Are you happy?
In life in general?
I meant about the shoot, but sure.
Why, did Noémie say something?
No, but you look ready to end it all.
It's your first shoot, you're finding your footing.
You're handling it so well.
You're just being nice.
Your instincts are good, trust me.
This is your calling.
Nora left me.
- Sorry, I didn't know. - It's not...
That's life.
It's not a big deal.
Where are you staying?
I'm sleeping on my agent's couch.
It's not great, but it's temporary.
Stay with me.
For real, I have a guest bed.
I really wasn't trying to...
I know, but I have room.
It'd be great, join me.
I know what you're going through.
You're not alone.
Hey.
You just waltz on in?
You gave me a key.
For emergencies.
We urgently need to get drinks.
Coming?
France needs you.
It's not exciting talking with people who've been dumped.
So repetitive.
I love it.
Others' heartaches are intriguing.
- Yeah? - More so than mine.
That's funny.
- That my struggles are lame? - No.
The word heartache.
I didn't realize that's what I had,
but I do.
Well, it's a cliché.
You're more sophisticated, Henri Great Actor.
You think so?
Absolutely. Your snooty theater loving side.
And what makes you sad?
Nothing anymore.
I've got armor on.
Here,
feel this.
My bulletproof vest.
- Let's go. - Where?
The window, like in the movie.
But this is reality.
Reality doesn't exist, we write our story.
But the bar was cool.
We'll never see it again.
I'll give you a boost.
That ok?
One here, one on my shoulder.
Anyone for a bath?
Let's go say hi first.
It's called The Alpianist.
- The Alpinist? - No, The Alpianist.
A pianist has a hiking accident.
- Bad title? - It's like a typo.
It's lame. Needs a new title.
- Your next film? - Yes, but plot twist.
I'm directing.
No way.
It's the right time to do it.
Do you climb?
Rock climbing?
Honestly, no.
I tried it and hurt my fingers.
You know the basics.
Wanna audition?
To play who?
The lead role, the alpianist.
Stop it.
Don't like it?
That's not it,
you should do it.
I've got 6 films coming up.
People are gonna get sick of me.
I'm not famous.
You have something to gain. Like the character!
Know what? Read the script first.
- If you like it, we'll talk. - Ok.
- Deal? - Deal.
Be right back.
Henri Great Actor, I found a shaman.
He says little, but has it all.
What do you need, friend?
Nora?
I can't help you there.
But I have MDMA.
Cut! I've got what I need. That's great.
That was Henri's final scene!
Bravo.
You did it! You're buzzing, that was amazing.
You exceeded my expectations.
This movie is a story of friendship,
and you helped me see that.
Thank you.
Bravo.
Thank you.
What are you doing here?
You scared the shit out of me.
Are you alright?
I'm gonna throw up.
Why'd you do that? It's really weird.
I was just trying
to be creative.
I didn't know how to tell you.
Tell me what?
Expecting someone?
No.
Actually, Henri...
Why are you here?
Got work to do?
We have one thing, it'll take 5 minutes.
No,
no work.
Right.
Hooking up with your intern?
Classy.
I can hook up with my intern if I want to.
Not an intern anymore, I'm a stage assistant.
Sorry, congratulations.
You didn't waste any time, that's cold.
That's bold to lecture me on empathy.
- What'd I do? - You're asking me what you did?
Don't you see how you screwed us by leaving the show?
- The connection? - That she's not the selfish one.
Don't butt in.
I made dinner.
Let's eat.
Come on.
Let's eat, lovebirds.
I made lasagna.
Henri, can you tell me what you're doing?
Getting comfortable.
Let's just go somewhere else.
No.
This is my home, I'm staying.
You too, sit down.
Great to see you both.
Want a plate? Are you hungry?
No, I'm fine, thanks.
So how are things going?
Did you boink?
Did we boink?
No one says that in your high school?
That's your only joke? Being young isn't a diss.
It's not a diss, it's a compliment.
I admire you.
Children will save the world.
Yeah, we've got it.
That's nice of you, thanks.
So you can make your shitty films.
- What? - Please stop. This is really...
It's way too pathetic.
I don't know,
I quit. You guys figure it out.
You're putting me in the same boat as him?
Yes, you're in my boat. A giant pathetic boat.
- You didn't stay? - I did, I slept on the couch.
No hotels in Reims?
Not a ton.
You should move on, it's not healthy.
Easier said than done.
But true.
She still hasn't recast my role.
You want it back?
I didn't say that.
Don't dwell on it.
I'm not dwelling.
You don't wanna give up your seat.
So you can't move on.
Well?
What a treat.
Nora?
Remember when we discussed teamwork?
Remind me again.
How the team takes each other's challenges
and turns them into opportunities.
Right.
I've changed my mind.
Either Yvan's shitty floor goes, or I go.
What's the story with the boots?
This is beyond understanding, isn't it?
I won't let that idiot in cargo pants mess things up.
I heard that, Juliette.
The boots are temporary, right?
You want a different color?
No, she doesn't.
You see what I'm going through?
Hold on a minute.
- Yvan, we'll find a solution? - Yes.
There we go.
Shall we get going?
No, we won't.
We need to talk.
- What's wrong? - Sorry, Nora.
We should wait for everyone.
So this is a mutiny?
No, but let's wait for Niels.
Niels, I'm not sure he's coming back.
Shit, for real?
First Henri, now Niels?
They're not dead, it'll be fine.
- No, it won't be. - We can't.
Can't do what?
Make something good.
Make something good?
Seriously? You can't have this mindset.
Let's focus on the work, the process,
not on results, let's be present.
Presently, we've no Ivanov, no assistant,
the set's an ice rink.
Our costumes scream French Fried Vacation 2.
You're so snobby.
French Fried Vacation 2 is great.
My therapist agrees.
So your therapist
told you to stop working?
No, we'll stop forging ahead.
We're headed for disaster.
We're worried about you because we love you.
You love me?
What good is that?
For real.
I don't need to be loved.
I need help here.
You want me to say that nothing works since Henri left?
That I'm lost in the weeds and losing my grip?
I've got no ideas, no momentum.
I can't solve any problems
and that's my specialty.
Problem? Call Nora and she fixes it.
But now, I'm faced with this huge failure.
Happy now?
Nora?
Got a minute?
What is it?
I love your work and you need an actor.
I don't get it.
I'd like to work with you.
You thought I'd take you on the spot?
No, not on the spot,
but I figured we could chat.
Because you can do 1,000 pushups
and get asked for selfies?
No one can do 1,000 pushups.
Then why?
Because I'm ready.
I know the play by heart. And I'm all about the work.
That's all.
We are the same.
You know things.
I need to feel something.
Take a risk.
Not my fault if you're hyperactive.
Just take up CrossFit or boxing.
I already box.
Try LSD.
Ok, sure. Let me audition first.
What for?
The show's off.
Thanks, I lost the key.
You good?
Yeah.
Is François here? He's not responding.
No,
haven't heard from him.
Really?
Perfect. Let's have a drink then.
Quite a collection.
One single record from every band ever.
Maybe it's for the aliens.
- What? - For the time capsules.
To portray life on earth.
I'm wasted.
Being alone can be tough.
It makes you sad?
I'm working on it.
Like you go to the desert to work on it?
I'd like to, but no. I talk to a therapist.
To figure it out.
Got any ideas?
My insatiable narcissism.
And my mother's death when I was 6.
I think it's 'cause of your dead mom.
Can I ask a personal question?
I'm an open book.
What are you and François exactly?
That intrigues you?
You like knowing the gossip.
You'll admit it's mysterious.
What can I say?
François is like a ray of sunshine.
You can bask in his glow, but that's all.
He'll never belong to anyone.
Same for me.
I don't belong to anyone anymore.
Does that worry you?
A little.
There you fucking go!
Holy shit.
Shit.
What happened?
It looks scary, but it's not what you think.
I've had tons of ideas.
An epiphany. Everything is about composition,
decomposition, recomposition.
I had to destroy it to realize this.
It looks rough,
but we're not here for beauty.
We're looking for truth.
We were so far off, we didn't care.
So what's the plan?
A tree.
Meaning?
A tree is better than flooring,
no?
I don't know. They're not the same.
- And Ivanov? - You're Ivanov.
She's not wrong.
We're still one actor short.
I'll introduce myself. I'm Henri.
I'm 3... 26 years old.
When you're ready.
I have a daughter.
She lives in Marseille with her mom.
And I have...
You need to be driving.
This scene's in a car.
You're behind the wheel.
Right.
I have a daughter.
She lives in Marseille with her mom.
- Turn left. - I'm saving money...
Turn left. I'm saving money...
- Use your blinker. - ...to join them.
Sorry.
...to try to join them.
Don't make the noise.
Merge into traffic.
Hold on,
how are you shifting...
You've got your license, Thierry?
Can you find me something else? I really need work.
Let me think.
Maybe I can go back to the play.
Here's one about a guy who drops everything
to bike across France.
Can you ride a bike?
I wonder how you see me sometimes.
Hang on, I'll call you back.
Hi Nanette, everything ok?
Nora's not answering.
What can I do about that?
When she's got rehearsals, it's as if I'm dead.
What does she love more, her grandma or her show?
Just made it.
You good?
Yeah.
I feel like I'm on a train to 6 months ago.
Same, when your grandma called.
Nanette called you?
- Why? - You didn't tell her you dumped me.
I didn't dump you.
Well, I played along.
I figured may as well come to the party
so that way you don't have to explain.
Or I'll get off at the next stop.
No, it's ok.
It's sweet.
Not up for the family interrogation.
You know, giving is in my DNA.
Always so modest.
I adore Nanette.
I really do.
That much?
It's for her I stayed with you the last few years.
I adore her that much.
She's my favorite person.
Hanging in there?
Yeah, why?
You seem uncomfortable.
I'm not.
Perfect boyfriend is within my range.
Why perfect?
They'll notice the difference.
Very funny.
We've both gotta play along here.
It's weird you haven't touched me at all.
You want me to?
Yes.
Like this?
That's very PG.
Like this?
I'm not gonna feel you up.
That freaks you out?
It doesn't freak me out, it's about respect.
I know, you could burst into laughter.
- What for? - No reason in particular.
But I used to make you laugh.
Not ringing a bell.
Like this.
You're hilarious.
I'd forgotten how noisy this is.
You're right, let's go all out.
That spot sounds better.
Shit.
Want me to look?
Where is it?
Where?
You can't do that. So lame!
You're going down, old man.
Morning.
- You good? - Yeah.
Wanna go back together?
We could.
It's just an idea.
An idea.
Yeah.
Someone's waiting for you?
You?
Kids?
How's Ivanov going?
It's going.
That's it?
- What? - You don't tell me anything.
It's like pulling teeth with you.
Stop it, Nanette.
No, I tell you stuff.
We talked about it.
I want to hear how it's going, my dear.
It'll be quite different from my previous work.
In what way?
For one, Henri's not in it.
He's not in it.
- No biggie. - Let's talk about it.
- Did you get yourself kicked out? - No, I didn't.
- He did something new. - Let's talk.
It's for the best.
Really. I think I also needed a change.
What change?
I reassigned the roles.
- And I got a new actor. - Who?
You know who.
- No, I don't. - François.
François Cluzet?
I don't know.
I like him.
Why don't you know?
I thought he would've told you.
No, he didn't tell me.
Sorry, I thought you knew.
It's great. Really, it is.
You sure?
Totally.
What's with the bag?
I'm leaving.
- You sick of me? - Stop it.
I know about Nora.
Careful, that sounds misleading.
- Can we talk about it? - Nothing to say.
I'm in the play you left
and you're in my film.
We're moving forward.
Damn, do you hear yourself?
We're not moving forward.
You knew I'd be pissed.
But you don't care. You don't think about anyone else.
Not tired of blaming everyone?
Take responsibility.
Think about it,
your mistakes got you here.
True, but staying here won't make things better.
So you're cowardly and ungrateful.
I let you stay and this is how you thank me?
Didn't know it had a price. How much?
That's not it.
I got it, don't worry.
I insisted on having you in the film.
Remember that in your new actor life.
I appreciate all you've done for me.
But let's be real.
You take more than you give.
Fine, get out.
Sasha, we can't.
- I love you madly. - We can't!
- Without you... - We can't, no way.
...life has no meaning, purpose or joy.
When I was little, during my childhood,
I loved you.
That's great, keep going.
During my childhood, I loved you.
I loved your soul.
I love you, Nicolas Alexéïevitch.
For you, I would go...
Repeat, "We can't."
We can't. We can't.
The space between you is dangerous, difficult to cross.
We can't.
- I would go anywhere with you. - We can't.
- For the love of God, hurry. - We can't.
I'll suffocate.
That means start everything from scratch?
Happiness, youth, novelty.
It means living.
Starting over.
- Better, no? - It was a bit flat.
- Nice. - Not you, us, the scene.
How about you?
It felt more natural, but I was behind, sorry.
Let's cut your entrance.
- How so? - Well...
What if you're there the whole time?
Try something other than the scream.
That's what makes the scene too ordinary.
Alright.
Taking a nap?
No, I'm centering myself.
Let me see your arm.
Are you gonna go?
Where?
To the show.
Which show?
Give it a rest.
You saw it?
Yes.
François invited me.
How was it?
Go see for yourself.
May I interrupt?
All good, we're done.
You wanted something?
No, nothing.
When the director and actor talk, they leave me alone.
- You're pretending to talk to me. - No.
Taking a break, if you don't mind.
No, not at all.
While we're here, thank you for trusting me.
You're the one in a ditch right now.
Yes, but it's worth it.
You know where you're going
and it's inspiring.
Since we're almost done filming,
I can tell you this.
- This stays between us. - Sure.
I have no clue where I'm going.
- You're serious? - Yes.
I'm not alone.
No one knows what they're doing,
but no one dares to say it.
Stop, you're inspired.
Yeah, right.
Sure, I have tons of ideas.
I go from one idea to another. But ultimately,
we'll see what happens.
I don't know.
Don't tell me that.
- Why not? - For tons of reasons.
It's unsettling.
On the contrary,
if you embrace uncertainty and truly let go,
anything is possible.
The best way to create something interesting.
But there's gotta be
something we're certain of.
Sure, God is dead,
the sun will eventually explode.
But until then, anything's possible.
Literally anything.
- Nathan, we're ready. - Ok.
Think about that for your scene.
- Hi, thanks. - It's slippery.
Can I sit here?
Hello.
Action!
Are you alright?
Don't get up, you're hurt.
You shouldn't move.
Do you know your name?
Are you alright?
I'm fine.
I gotta go.
Cut.
Good, Henri, but the action is the other way.
Sorry.
You were great in that scene.
It wasn't much.
It was weird because I thought
I knew you inside and out as an actor.
But I'd never seen you like that.
- Directed by someone else? - That too.
Why'd you come?
I told you, Lou invited me.
No, but why?
What do you want?
Tonight's our last show
and I'd really like you to come.
You did the play without me, can't we move on?
You sure?
Sorry, I'm exhausted
and not thinking clearly.
I'll head back.
Where is she?
She left.
- What would you have done? - Me?
Same as you, actually.
That's the problem.
We've got the same bulletproof vest.
Truth is, we're both hiding.
We're not cautious,
we're cowards.
And too proud.
Whatever.
So why I never asked François for more?
I never went for it and it's dumb.
You gotta betray what you have to create something new.
We fall in love, break up, and repeat.
- Don't give me that look. - What look?
I can hear you think. It's intrusive.
It was intentional.
Come on,
give me your bulletproof vest.
Let me tidy up here.
Any cars left?
No, you can catch the next round.
Henri.
You came.
Why are you here?
It's showtime.
You're right.
What was that?
Who did that?
Until they're found or called out...
They've upped the bid.
A fetishist.
Feet up, please.
Alright.
This will not do.
We can't begin until we uncover who's...
It was you.
You crazy person.
- I should've known. - Chill out.
I'm reading and you came to annoy me
and dirty my costume?
Got nothing better to do?
Would you be sad if I died?
What's this question?
It's simple, would you be sad?
What's sad, Borkin, is you reek of vodka.
Honestly, it's disgusting.
For some, love is a third-rate thing.
Talking with the person you love,
strolling in the garden together,
shedding tears on their grave, that's all.
But for me, love
is everything in life.
I love you.
I want to dispel your sadness.
I'll go wherever you go.
You climb a mountain, I'll go too.
You descend into a ravine, I'll follow.
What joy it would bring me
to copy your papers all night long,
to make sure no one wakes you,
to walk a hundred miles with you.
I remember the time
you came over
during the harvest, covered in dust.
You asked for a drink and I brought you water
but I found you fast asleep on the couch.
You slept for 12 hours straight.
I stood guard to make sure no one woke you.
It felt wonderful.
The more effort required,
the more beautiful love is,
the more we feel it.
So?
It's your best show yet.
I know.
Always so modest.
Be right back.
Where am I?
