""Get some fresh air, escape to the Rhone-Alpes!"" ""Traffic report:" "An accident on the East Motorway."" ""15-minute delays expected from Porte Bercy."" ""Traffic is backed up around Paris..."" "Hi, Mum?" "It's Sandrine." "I'm going to be late." "Traffic's at a standstill." "I'll be there in half an hour." "You want to become a farmer?" "Yeah, I passed the interviews." "I've been accepted into an agricultural programme." "I start in September." "September!" "You're full of surprises." "But this tops them all." "Mum..." " You left Gérard for this nonsense?" " It's not nonsense." "But seriously, a farmer!" "Who gave you that idea?" "Nobody!" "I've always had it." "You never talked to me about it." "Can you see yourself raising pigs?" "You're nearly 30." "Stop dreaming and come back to earth!" "Right, I'm 30!" "It's time I did what I want." " What's that mean?" " You know!" "Mum..." "I thought computer studies were a good opportunity for you." "You're an internet instructor, that's quite an accomplishment." "You travel regularly, meet lots of people..." "You've got a nice apartment, you make good money." "You don't understand, Mum." "I'm sick of all that." "I'm suffocating." "I need air, space..." "Space?" " My little girl!" " Don't cry." " What will become of you?" " Don't worry." "I'll be all right." "I know what I'm doing." "I can't make head nor tails of this!" "What the devil is this thing?" ""Temperatures are rising in the North, 14C in Paris, and in the South, they should reach a high of 20C."" "I've got a right to pamper myself in my old age!" "They laugh at me, but they'd have a Volvo too, if they could afford one!" "Sure, but what bothers them is not that you have one, but that you bought it now." "If you'd always been rich, nobody'd be jealous." "But you became rich, that's what bothers them." "Makes sense." "Some in the valley say you sold your cheese dairy for over 200 million old francs." "Expecting someone?" "A civil servant to appraise the farm." "Appraise it?" "I've decided to sell it." " You need money?" " That's not it." "I'm tired." "I've had enough." "I'll introduce you." "No, thanks!" "The less I see them, the better." "Afraid it'll rain?" "There was a storm in the valley." "Took me 1 5 minutes to make them work." "I'm leaving them on." "If it rains, I'll be ready." "I'm starting to see why people laugh at you!" "I'll drop by again, we'll discuss it!" " Bye, Adrien." " Bye, Jean." "Get going!" "You want to be farmers in the Rhone-Alpes." "Good." "But we've got no room for dreamers here." "Anyone who wants to make goat cheese and play guitar can go home now." "Don't wait until you're deep in debt to decide this is not for you." "You'll spend two years learning the trade." "There'll be classroom work and hands-on experience on real farms." "The farmers out there won't be cutting you any slack." "Tun him." "Pull, hoist, raise the leg." "Hury up, come closer." "Bring the whisk." "Go on, stir!" "Get on your knees!" "It's all right." "Don't stop." "That's right, keep it up." "You OK?" "Go on, that's good." "OK, it's over." "It's all over." "It's over." "It'll be all right." "You see, you can do it." "There, there." "What are your settings?" "I've got it on one, cleaner - six, sorter - six." "And the taarup?" "Left at zero, right at minus two." "Good." "You can't do it." " Do what?" " Let me drive this." "That's not true." "Go on." "I'll be on the tractor." "OK..." "I wanted to see the farm this past winter." "I know, but it was a rough one." "It would have been tricky to get up there." "Anyway, I prefer you meet Mr Rochas now, in spring." "Why, isn't he presentable in winter?" "That's not it, but..." "He lost his wife 10 years ago." "He sees no one during the winter." "He lives like a bear." "When you know how to approach him, he's fine." "Mr Rochas?" "Careful, it's not..." "Good day, Sir." "This is Miss Sandrine Dumez, she's very interested in your farm." "Hello." "We're not disturbing you?" "I've got a milking machine to fix." "I'm busy." "Don't mind us." "I'll show her around the farm." "I believe there are 70 she-goats and three billies." "What's their average milk production?" "7 10 kilos." "What's the protein fraction?" "28 over 1,000." " How much?" " 28 over 1,000." "Can I see the rest of the farm?" "Go on ahead, I'll join you." "I want to speak to Mr Rochas." "Miss Dumez is probably one of the best in her class." "She works hard, she's got energy and ideas." "I really believe in her." "The farm's been for sale for two years now." "It's hard to get the young buyers up here." "They say it's cut off from everything." "And photos of the place hardly whet their appetite." "So I'm just asking you to make an effort with the students I bring." "The last one still hasn't recovered!" "Listen here!" "Look at who you bring." "That hotshot told me he wanted to run a business, not be a farmer." "Of course I threw him out!" "Run a business!" "Everyone wants to be in charge now." "They'll be in charge of nothing at all!" "They'll be farmers like those who went before." " Are you married?" " No man, no children." " Alone?" " For now." "You won't last long here without a man." "You come here alone, you'll stay alone." "The few men we've got around here aren't looking for milkmaids." "I'm not some little city girl who got into farming on a whim." "I'm in it for the duration, with or without a man." "If we're going to do business, let this be clear:" "I won't be moving for 1 8 months." "But if she can't live on the farm..." "This is highly impractical!" "OK, where do you suggest I go?" "I'm supposed to move to a family house in Grenoble." "But my nephew is living there for the next 1 8 months." "I can't kick the lad out!" "I'll figure something out." "So, Mr Rochas, you propose to sell the entire farm, including livestock and machines, for 450,000 francs." "Plus rental of the pastures and orchard." "And you wish to stay in your home for another 18 months, is that correct?" "I want use of the pear and cherry tree in the orchard." "And I've got eight rabbits." " Listen..." " I insist!" "Will you help me?" "Oh, I wouldn't be much use to you." "You've got a diploma in "Agricultural Studies"." "I've got no diploma, and I'm selling... so I can get some rest." "Very well." "I'll need to think about it." "Let's go!" "Let's go now." "C'mon, girls, we're going home!" "Let's go!" "Come on!" "That's it!" "Come on, Mouchette." ""First question:" "A territory." "Clue:" "Park."" ""A British territory, measuring 6 kilometres squared..."" """ " Gibraltar?" " Very good."" "Move along!" "What the devil is she doing?"

"Are there lots of cheeses?" "There are many different goat cheeses." " How much milk does she give?" " Two or three litres a day." " How old is she?" " One month." " How long do they live?" " 1 5 years." "What are those two things for?" "Just decoration, I guess." "Come on, Pharaon!" "Come on!" "Are you coming or not?" "Stubborn as a mule!" "What's got into Pharaon?" "Since I got the Volvo, he won't leave the car." "It's gone to his head, that's all." "What's that bus parked out front?" "A school." "An invasion of kids." "My farm has become a tourist attraction." "Soon, they'll be taking my picture." "Let me tell you, lately there have been a lot of kids, foreigners, environmentalists..." "She puts them up in the gite, cashing in on the view, and what's more... she feeds them her goat cheese and fruit from the orchard." "You've got to admit it's a clever idea." "At this rate, she'll make more money than you ever did." "Yeah." "But one swallow does not a summer make." "When it gets cold, they won't be lining up for a room any more." "Meaning, sooner or later she'll have to get her hands dirty." "Then we'll see what the Parisian is made of." "Let's see how she handles the raspberries." "I just took a look." "They're ripe." "The only thing is... you have to bend down to pick them." " Cheries?" " Chery trees!" " Lettuce?" " Lettuce trees!" "Time to pick raspberries, kids." "But no eating, we'll save them for later, OK?" "Lazybones..." "Don't trample them." "Goodbye!" "Goodbye, kids." "Hello, Miss." "Jean Farjon, Sandrine Dumez." "Hello, Sir." "So, you're in the hotel business?" "Looks like a success!" "I can't complain." "So far, anyway." "With your enthusiasm, you should succeed." "Thank you." "Why is such a pretty girl not married?" " You must have lots of offers." " The gite is my priority for now." "I can't agree with you." "A woman isn't meant to sleep alone." "A man can be handy, if he's robust." "I mean, to help with work." "That's all I meant, of course." "You should find someone." "Don't stay alone." "You've made your point." "I promise to think about it." "Goodbye." "Charming!" "And a nice build, too." "I understand why you picked her." "Balcony in the Sky, good evening." "Yes, of course." "What's going on?" "Oh, shit!" "Good evening." "Sory to bother you, but my phone's out." "Can I use yours to call the phone company?" "Go ahead." "Thank you." "It's right there." "Hello, Ma'am." "My telephone is dead." "No dialling tone, no." "Of course." "It's 04 7 6... 9 4 08 21." "Sandrine Dumez, yes." "How long?" "OK, thank you." "Goodbye." "Is that your wife?" "Yes." "What did they say?" "They'll take care of it, but don't know how soon." "Typical bureaucratic response." "Smells good." "What is it?" "Lamb ragout." "It looks delicious." "I know what I'm doing." "Well?" "Not bad." "I'll head home." "I was just about to open a can of something." "Excuse me." "I've got enough for days." "Well, I'll be going."

" And you are?" " A friend." "Gérard Chauvin." "Why do you want to see Miss Dumez?" "For a visit." "Beautiful." "Tuns out this really suits you." " How about a kiss?" " If you like." "The old man at the farm showed me the way." "He doesn't say much." "I didn't dare ask who he was." "Good move." "How did you track me down?" "Your mother." "She always liked me." "She gave me your address a while back." "I'm giving a class in Grenoble, so I thought on the way back to Paris I'd stop by and say hi." "It's been a long time!" " I hope you don't mind?" " No, no." "You're looking good." "I don't know if you're fatter or thinner but..." "Mouchette, get over here!" "She's so dumb!" "Excuse me." "I've got to take them home." "Of course." "Do you mind if I come back to the farm with you?" "Want a lift?" "No, I'd rather stay with my goats." "You never know." " Can I come?" " If you like." "Come on, let's go!" "Go on, give it to them." " By hand?" " Yes." " I think one of them likes me." " Oh, really?" "One of them is being picked on by the others." " It's no matter." " No?" " Give it to them." " That's the one, she's shy." "The others are mean to her, aren't they?" "You give everything up, go back to school, buy a goat farm in the mountains..." "I never would have imagined it of you." "I wanted to for years, but the way we talked, it's no wonder you didn't know." "Yeah." "Well, here you are!" "How do you live?" ""How?" Very well." "I mean, you live alone?" "Yes, alone." "Since you left Paris, you haven't had..." "Had what?" "And you?" "No, nothing." "I'm really happy to see you." "You're beautiful." "Thank you." " You haven't changed." " Really?" "What do we do now?" "Your coffee's as good as ever." "I can't stay." "I've got a meeting in Paris before noon." "What are you doing today?" "A group of horse riders is coming." "I need to prepare their rooms." "And I'm making jam." "I understand." "I'm glad you stopped by." "I had a great evening." "And an even better night." "I didn't get much sleep, but I feel good." "Get home safe." "Good things in moderation..." "I disagree." "If you ever come to Paris..." "So, what is this fellow like?" "Nothing special." "Cocky, a ladies' man." "It appears to work." "He left early this morning." "Sure, a well-built girl like that..." "If I were 30 years younger..." "I don't blame him, personally." " You seem upset by it." " Me?" "I couldn't care less!" "She brought me that the other day." "How's it going with the Parisian?" "Fine, fine." "Some people say you're having fun with her up there!" "Watch it, lads." "If I were you, I wouldn't be so high and mighty." "What you did wasn't right." "He's right, Adrien." "You could've left your farm to the local farmers." "But helping friends isn't your strong point." " Friends?" " Yeah." "Did you say "friends"?" "Where were my friends when I had my troubles up at the stable?" ""Friends", you say?" "Nobody!" "Nobody came to help out." "It was like I had the plague!" "That's different, Adrien." "There was nothing we could do to help you." "Now that you've got that Parisian, don't count on the union for help if you're in trouble!" "Right!" "The union!" "Besides vandalizing fast food restaurants to get on the evening news... what does the union ever do?" "The Parisian, as you call her - Don't worry about her!" "You won't see her on the news!" "While you're waving your poor three-of-a-kind around, the Parisian is selling her goat cheese on the Intenet to Germans!" " Sleep well?" " Yeah, great." "Have you thought it over?" "Why?" "Don't you feel better?" "No." "My arse has been whipped!" "Really, I'm serious." "It's my first time, I'm not used to it." "So today, I'm staying here." "I'll do some reading." " Take my horse." " I don't know him." "He's cool." "You know the area, it'll be great." " It's a good idea!" " All right, then." "Excuse me." "Pardon me, I'm going to Grenoble this afternoon, to see my nephew." "I'll be back Friday morning." "OK." "Want some coffee?" "No." "They're predicting a storm." "I need to prepare the garden before I leave." "Here, take this." "I had enough for an army." "I hate waste." "And I don't have a dog..." "Well, anyway, I'll see you later." " Sory." " Is he your father?" " No, my dad's a shopkeeper." " An employee?" "No, he's the former owner." "He still lives here for now." "When he leaves, will you stay on the farm all alone?" "Sure, that's the plan!" "I bought the farm, not the old man!" "Right." "Cocktail time!" "Listen, I tried to find out more..." " Been there long?" " Only 1 5 minutes." "What'd you do?" "Just like you, I slept." "Watching you sleep put me to sleep." "You didn't come yesterday?" "No." "I fed your rabbits, then I ran into the girl." "We had a chat, and she invited me in for lunch." "She's busy with the goats." "They're in heat now." "She'll visit you when you get home." ""Would the owner of the car with registration number 7 33NFC38 please move his vehicle away from the entrance to A  E?"" "You've blocked casualty again, with your car!" "They're not going to let you in any more." "I've been stuck here for five days." "Couldn't she find some time to come see me?" "I told her she's out of line." "She says she's not the only one." "Come on, come here, come." ""Dear God, I know I haven't always been a regular here."" ""To be completely honest, church always bored me."" ""But now, at my age and after what just happened to me," "I've been humbled, I'm scared, Lord."" ""Scared to death."" ""Speaking of which, I have a little favour to ask You.""

""She has no idea, she thinks she knows everything."" ""She won't get far, You understand..."" ""I don't want to leave just yet."" ""Dear God, dear God..."" ""I'm not asking for 20 years, but..."" ""You understand..."" ""See what You can do, Lord."" ""The imposing mountain range separates the northern basins..."" "Come in." "My electricity's off." "No heat, nothing." "I don't understand." "I checked everything." "Yours is on." "Can I plug into it for now?" "At least to heat my room?" "The problem is, my meter dates back to 1 9 67." "It won't like being tampered with." "Call the electricity board." "They'll come fix it." "Meanwhile, you can warm up here." "No time!" "I need to stop the pipes from freezing." "Thanks." ""The spider advances slowly, sure to capture her prey in her web..."" "Yes?" " Am I disturbing you?" " No, no." " Can I come in?" " Yes." "I can't reach the electricity board." "I'm not surprised." "I listened to the radio." "It's a real winter." "Everything's blocked everywhere." "We're cut off by snowdrifts." " It won't be fixed any time soon." " Have you got a gas heater?" "Yes, I do." "I hadn't thought of that." "There's one up in the attic." "But I don't have any gas." "What will I do tonight?" "I tell you what, you can sleep here, and tomorrow is another day." " In the house?" " Got a better idea?" "You don't seem to understand our winters." "But where will I sleep?" "In my parents' old bedroom." "Come see." "I'll show you." "Take off your coat." "Give me a hand!" "Are you sure that..." "That what?" "I'll go get my things." "I rarely eat food this good!" "What's in the sauce?" "You think I'd give away cooking secrets just like that?" "My mother didn't give me hers until she was on her deathbed." "When you were with your wife, who did the cooking?" "I did, mostly." "She meant well, but she wasn't a very good cook." "She had other qualities." "She was nice, which balanced out my personality." "So, you admit it." "I know I'm not easy to live with." "I never said I was." "But she never complained." "35 years of marriage!" "That's something, isn't it?" "10 years ago..." "I found a cow lying down in the ban one morning." "She was foaming at the mouth." "I called the veterinarian." "That very night, 3 police squads surrounded my farm." "Worse than if I were a crook." "The mayor came into the kitchen here." "The mayor himself, can you believe it?" "He told us... it was mad cow disease." ""Mad cow disease"!" "It's all over the news now, but at the time, we barely knew what it meant." "Anyway." "They disinfected the whole ban... and lit a bonfire to bun... ropes, straw, collars..." "Anything the cows may have touched." "Then they took them all away." "All my animals, loaded onto trucks." "On top of it all, I had to fight to go with them." "For 36 years, we rose every morning to milk our cows." "Ovenight, it was all gone." "That was the hard part, really." "Emilie said nothing." "She just sort of... let herself go." "One morning, she couldn't get up." "She never got out of bed again." "It's inhuman, what she suffered through." "Eat, eat!" "It's getting cold." "I'm going to bed." " Goodnight." " Goodnight." "The barometer's dropping fast." "We're not out of this yet." "Don't snowploughs ever get up here?" "Oh, you know... things are surely in a big mess down there." "The two of us up here aren't really their priority." "Toast?" " Just one." "I need to see the goats." " Yes, of course." "Can I come with you?" "I'm bored here, you know." " All right." " Here." "I finally got hold of the electricity board." " Really?" " You know what they found?" "No." "Nothing!" "They said my wiring is defective." "The nerve!" "My wiring is brand new!" "Typical of them." "A bunch of civil servants who can't handle real problems." "They always say it's not their fault." "Yes, but what can I do?" "We'll figure something out." "Thank goodness you're here." "Think nothing of it." "Say..." "Give me a hand." "Go easy." "Don't peel so much off." "You haven't seen war!" " Meaning?" " I know what I mean." "Tomorow, I'll make us roast veal." " With a nice green salad!" " No." " Certainly not!" "It's not in season." " What do you mean?" "Lettuce is for summer, not winter." "You can't just eat anything any time." "Seasons are there for a reason." "If we don't respect that in agriculture, we might as well..." " So what do we eat in winter?" " Endives!" "OK, we'll have endives." "I don't have any." "They don't do well in the freezer." "Veal by itself?" "Anyway, me and veal..." "What have you got against veal?" "When I was little, my mum made calf's liver on Wednesdays." "She said it was full of vitamins." "What punishment." "I hated it." "She sautéed it in margarine." "Margarine!" "Never say that word to a dairy farmer!" "Know what we call it?" "Bull butter!" "Margarine..." "Has your problem changed your diet?" "Not at all!" "What we eat determines how we feel." "If nothing upsets you, you're in a good mood and all is well." "If you say so." "I do say so!" "Look what you've done." "I'll have to peel your peelings now!" "You, my memories, my friends" "If you see her come back again" "Tell her my poor heart has at last" "Broken all ties with the past" "I'm bowing out" "And hitting the road" "Tnrough France, France" "And Navarre I'll go" "But go ahead and tell her" "Simply, that I love her" "Just tell her, won't you please" "Tell her hello from me..." "Did I wake you?" "I kept it on low." "That's Emilie's favourite song." "A gift from Jean for one of our anniversaries." "A bit too sappy for me." "I liked the other side better." "I don't know how to waltz." "It's easy, you'll see." "Just count to three and let yourself go with me, OK?" "One, two, three!" "On an old carousel" "A cortege spins around to the plaintive sounds" "Of some same-old melody" "A band is wheezing out" "Today a celebration" "Spreads sunshine through the nation" "Every home sings with happiness and love abounds" "A bird looks down" "On our town from his perch in the sky" "Tne church weather vane spins" "In the joyful wind" "In the big tent the town ball has already begun..." "I better not push it." "You're a great dancer." "Don't you think the goats' pen needs some repairs?" "Good idea!" "Coming?" "Well, it's just that..." "I haven't had my nap!" "OK, I'm going." "See you later." "Fucking electricity board!" "I brought you the farm photo album." "There are photos from my parents' day." "It was completely different then." "I'll show you." "See?" "This was in 1 9 41, for example." "Totally different from now." "In '44, the Germans bunt down all the isolated farms that could be hide-outs for the Resistance." "We saved the animals and some furniture... but not much." "Why didn't you rebuild closer to the village?" "What for?" " We'd always been here." " Is that you?" "You look better without the beard." "Emilie didn't like me prickly." "I was clean-shaven in those days." "Want to see your gite when it was full of cows?" "My father planting my pear tree, the day I was born, in the orchard." "The cherry tree was planted for my wedding." "If you have kids, plant fruit trees for them." "They'll think of you when they eat the fruit." "That's Emilie there." "She looks pregnant, was she?" "Yes." "It didn't live." "I need to take a picture of you on the bench." "One day, I'll give you the album and you can keep it going with your own photos." "What about you?" "Got pictures of your parents?" "We weren't too into photos." "My parents divorced when I was little." "My mother never remarried and my father..." "I stayed with mum." "We forgot about pictures." "You're an only child?" "You must be precious to your mother." "It must be hard for her not to see you." "Do you call her, at least?" "Sometimes." "Not often enough." "Here already?" "Why?" "Isn't this the time we said?" "Doesn't that vane need oil?" "No!" "We won't know the forecast then." "When it squeaks, rain or snow is definitely coming." "Shall we try my pear brandy?" "Go easy with that!" "I don't want to end up in a ditch." "Jean's taking me to the hospital for my checkup." "Blood test, stamina tests, a whole load of tests." "They can't even tell me how much time I've got left." "I told him he should sleep at his nephew's." "To get used to it, because come September..." "Take care of yourself." "I'll watch your rabbits." "Time for us to get going." "No, no, no!" "Come here, come on." "OK, Mouchette, let's not take all night." "Come on, Mouchette, push it out." "Come on, push." "Push!" "Come on!" "Fuck, I don't believe it!" "Come on, Mouchette." "Give me your second one." "Come on, push!" "Push!" "Don't stop!" "Come on!" "Fuck!" "God damn it!" "Fuck!" "Oh, no!" "Fucking hell..." "Fucking hell!"

"I'm happy to see you." "Come in." "How was the hospital?" "They slapped my wrists like I was a kid!" "Everything is off limits." "I can't even drink coffee, can you believe it?" "I brought you back the tractor." "I parked it in the shed." "I went up to get the generator and then..." "And then?" "The generator!" "Don't you realize?" "You could have killed yourself!" "Yes, I shouldn't have." "I made a mistake." "You certainly did!" "Well, I need to go unpack and put some things away now." "See you later." "See you later." "Sugar?" "Yes." "He never goes out." "I don't know what's wrong." "He's not the same." "He's depressed." "You've got to understand." "They told him he won't last long if he's not careful." "I was there when the doctor gave him hell." "When they told him to cook with margarine, he threw quite a tantrum!" "I shouldn't have bought this farm." "It's too isolated." "Winter alone here, I'll go crazy." "Some days I think I'm not cut out for this job." "I thought the mood would be happier here." "Well, well!" "You're just discouraged." "It happens to everyone." "I'll call the civil servant." "Maybe I can get a farm more..." "More what?" "Being a farmer is tough everywhere, you know." "Someone with 400 hectares of wheat is no farmer!" "Take a vacation to clear your head." "That's what I always did." "Forget about vacation." "What about your goats?" "I spoke with the civil servant." "An intern will take care of the goats." "You don't have to worry." "If you go back to Paris, you'll never come back." " You'll leave me." " I won't!" "I just need some air." "Want to know what I think?" "I'm not surprised." "As soon as I saw you..." "I knew you wouldn't make it." "Whatever the school may teach you, it's no job for a woman." "To work the land... you need courage, physical strength... perseverance." "Women change moods like they change clothes." "All those modern theories," ""feminism" and all that, it's hogwash." "If nature made women different, it's because they're different!"
