"TENDERNESS" "Jack!" "Jack, are you ok?" "Wait, don't move." "Here." "Ah, it's broken, for sure." " Call for help!" " OK." "Hello!" "Yes, it's Alison." "Hello!" "Can you hear?" "Hello!" "Yes..." "Hello?" "Yes..." "What's wrong?" "Is your spine ok?" "Your neck?" "Where?" ""Hope Clinic"?" "Well that's a nice name." "Wait." "What's the number?" "04... 25-30-78-12." "Is it really bad?" "OK." "Who's the surgeon?" "Doctor..." "I'll be there as fast as I can." "It'll be ok, sweetie." "I'll call you right back." "Call me once you talk to the surgeon." "Do you have my cell number?" "Write it down!" "0479-22-22-33." "0479-22-22-33." "See you later." "My God!" "Frans, you want some tea?" "Jack had an accident." "A car crash?" "No." "Skiing." "He had surgery last night in Annemasse." " Did the hospital call?" " No, Lisa." " Is it serious?" " It's too early to tell." "Will they repatriate him?" "I don't know." "She has to call Europe Assistance." "She's organizing it." "I'll see her after my meeting." "Good luck." " Did you call your family?" " My mom." " Is she coming?" " Maybe tomorrow." "Hi." "Does it hurt a lot?" "I'm OK." "But I'm thirsty." "You can drink now." "I'll bring some water." "Thank you." "That's it." "Jack Vander." "He had surgery last night in the Alps." "He left Belgium mid-December." "Yes, I'll wait." "No, he hasn't come back since." "He's a ski instructor." ""Uninsured"?" "But he has annual global assistance." "Where is that written?" "Terms and conditions!" "It's in fine print, you need a magnifying glass." "If I say he came back for Easter, it's ok?" "No, I can't prove it!" "Obviously I can't." "Really!" "What?" "What do I do, now?" ""Just work it out"?" "Is that it?" "Hold on?" "Asshole!" "The surgeon's optimistic." "He needs a pelvis and lumbar scan." "But he should leave the hospital in 3 days." "He also needs all his material." "The insurance dropped it." "How far to Annemasse, 9 hours?" "I can pick you up at 6:30 tomorrow." "He'll need to see an orthopedist when he gets back." "Do you know one?" "I called a sports medicine doctor in Saint-Luc." "Dr. Tienbon." "I'd prefer in network." "But Frans, who cares?" "He's a good doctor." " Want some coffee?" " No, I still don't drink it." "That's right." " Are you repainting the room?" " Yes." "It looks nice, right?" "I see you still collect spider webs." "How strange." "You still notice things I don't see." "Should I pack some food for the road?" "Yes, we'll save some time." " What are you doing?" " I want to piss." " Don't you have a urinal?" " I can't with that thing." "Wait, I'll help you." " How are you, Fifi?" " Good." "You forgot the bathroom light." "Oh yeah!" " That's familiar." " Did you think I'd change?" "No." "I like this sculpture." "Yes, the technique is exquisite." "It's simple, yet sophisticated." "Yes, it's very beautiful." "Frans, drive a little slower." "I'm only going 85 mph." "Yes, and the limit is 75." "Oh!" "Watch out!" "I'm passing a truck." "Close your eyes, breathe." "Listen to Mozart." "How many hours are left?" "At least 8." "I should sit in back." "I see that hasn't gotten any better." "Worse, you mean." "What's that?" "It's Sedinal, a herbal relaxant." "I see that's also no better." " Does it bother you?" " No." "It annoyed me before, not anymore." "I smoke cigarillos now." " Really?" " Yes." " That's better." " Yes." "Everyone's passing us." " How are you, baby?" " Hi." " I brought your pillow." " Thank you." " Is it hot?" " Yeah, a little." " I'm so happy to see you." " Me, too." "I brought your toothbrush and your phone." " The charger?" " Shoot, I forgot." "It's OK." "So how's your foot?" "It's really swollen." "The nurse said it's normal." "The doctor is coming." "Can you get some crutches?" "We'll walk around." "Good idea." "OK." "See you." "Where are we?" "Luxembourg." "Why'd you leave the highway?" "To fill up." "There's a gas station." " Shit!" "It's closed." " Yes." "We went 10 miles out of our way, and it's closed." "Should I even bother asking if you want me to drive?" "Millions of women drive." "That's the problem." "Still macho, I see." "Should we stop to eat?" "No." "Give me a sandwich." "Thanks." "It's good." "So what's the problem with the insurance?" "It's easy, no one wants to cover the accident." "Not Global, not the supplemental, or the mutual fund." "Because he was abroad over 3 months." "And the snow card?" "It even covers accidents off the slopes." "Guess what, he didn't have one." "That's just great." "Is he dumb?" "Yes..." "Kids think accidents only happen to other people." "OK, but?" "his employer should cover it." "No." "His contract ended 2 days ago." "Well, bravo!" "Water, please." "Thanks." "You think he'll be able to ski?" "I hope." "When he was 12 he said, "I like white, I like snow." ""I'll be a ski instructor."" "That's from you." "I know." " Do you regret it?" " No, he loves what he does." "But I'd worry less if he were a chess master." "OK." "Tell him his mother called." "Thanks." "I don't believe it." "He just had surgery and he's out with friends!" "Your son is insane." "Where does our son get that?" "From me, of course." "That means he can't be too bad." "Hand me some water, please." "Didn't Carroz d'Araches have any rooms?" "I called 3 hotels, everyone's full." "It's the seasonal ski instructor competition." "In Flaine, Pierre et Vacances only does weekly rentals." "I'm a little old to sleep at a youth hostel." "Jack's boss was nice enough to give us a room." "One room?" "Yes." "It's full there, too." "It's for kids, they probably have bunk beds." "What!" "We'll feel young again!" "Especially you." "Ridiculous!" "So, feeling restless?" "I came by and you were out." "I'm not used to sitting around." "Alright." "Let's see." "Does it hurt a lot?" "I'm taking painkillers." "It looks good." "Here are the X-rays." "It's all explained on the file." "Give this to your doctor in Belgium." "Okay." "Good news, you're getting out tomorrow." "Good luck, don't do anything crazy." "Don't walk on it for 4 weeks." "Your fracture needs time to heal." " Thanks, Doctor." " Have a good day." "You're lucky." "I need both arms in the kitchen." "I don't know where to go before I can work again." "And my family is in Algeria." " Where is the old man?" " The ICU." "He couldn't breathe." "Poor old man." "Here, man." "Good luck." " It'll be ok." " Yeah, like always." "I'm locked in!" "Hello?" "I'm locked in!" "Shit!" "No!" "I'm locked in the bathroom." "No one can hear." "Apparently neither can you." " Hello." " The men's room is there." "I know, but?" "I'm waiting for my wife." "Something's wrong." "All the same." "The same story." "That way, pervert!" " What?" " You heard me!" "Leave, now!" "You're going to look now, or I'll get a manager." "We wasted a half-hour and I was called a pervert." "I thought you'd fainted." "It's so typical of you!" "Don't yell at me, I didn't know the door was broken!" "Frans, slow down." "I think there's cops." "Huh?" "Where?" "Behind us, I saw a siren." "I can't see it." "When Jack was little, with his babysitter..." "Locked in the bathroom, he couldn't open the door." "Poor baby." "Where was it?" "Charente-Maritime." "He was 3." "You told me, but I wasn't there." "You were gone a lot." "Well no, no." "I was gone a lot." "You think he missed me?" "At first, yes, definitely." "Just after you left, he said:" ""Daddy's going to build a house, we'll live together."" "It was simple for him." "Later on?" "I don't know." "That music's cool." "What is it?" "No, but it's not bad." "Did you tell your parents?" "I don't have any battery." "I'll call from Flaine." "Room 205, please." "Follow the green line to the end." "Take elevator A to the 2nd floor." "Then the doors to the right to room 205." "What?" "Follow the green line." "OK?" "To the end." "You take the elevator." "Elevator A." "What's that?" "I didn't understand." "I'll take you to the elevator." " Ma'am." "Ma'am." " Sorry, I'll be back." "Not bad." "Recent construction, clean." "Surprising for France." "I hope the surgeon was good." "Hello." "We're here for Jack Vander." "What room number is he in?" "Mr. Vander left this afternoon." " What?" " He left at 4:00." " We'll send the bill to Belgium." " OK." "Thanks." "You're welcome." "What?" "Where is he?" "In Flaine." "Where else?" "It's ringing but no answer." "I'll try again." "Jack, how are you?" "Does it hurt?" "We were scared." " Thanks for the chocolate." " You're welcome." " Your foot is black and blue." " I call it Smurf." " Hey!" " Oh, hey." "And?" "You're back!" "How did you get out?" " Isn't it 5 days minimum?" " I was going crazy." " Hi, Jack." " Hi." "We're glad everything's OK." "Who was the surgeon?" "Dr... "think fables"." "Lafontaine." "He's the best." "Your parents are coming tonight." "They have a room." " Cool, thanks." " No problem." "You should lie down with your leg up, OK?" "Ask if you need anything." "Thanks, boss!" "OK." ""Your leg up", not something else up." "Shut up, Clement." " He could have called." " Maybe he has no battery." "He's not in the hinterlands though." "No." " I think he's in love." " Oh!" "How do you know that?" "He should have come home last week, but he said he wanted to ski." "I asked him if he met someone." "He said:" ""Yes, she's great, Mom."" "That Jack!" "Do you know who it is?" "No." "I just know her name's Alison." " Is she American?" " I don't know." "Why doesn't he ever tell me these things?" "You're both men." "It's weird." "Just concrete." "That's right." "A 1960 construction." "In harmony with the mountain." "It's a unique resort." "A great architect built it, Marcel Breuer." " Were you mad at me?" " Huh?" " Were you mad at me?" " Why?" "For leaving you." "No." "I was mad at myself." "For not trying." "It was a long time ago." "I like being alone now." "Shall we?" "Hi." "You're Jack's mom." "I can see right away." "We have the same expressions." "Do I look like his dad?" "Not as much." "Maybe the accent." "Alright." "Jack is in room 715, at the end." "You are just before his, room 700." "Call if you need anything." "I parked the car by the entrance." "Can I leave it?" "It's OK for an hour, then move it to the lot." "The cheaper one is Flaine forest." " Thank you, Ma'am." " Thanks!" "You know we love your son." "So do we." "Here it is." " Hi, come in." " Hi." "Hi, Mom." "Hi, Dad." "How was your trip?" "How are you, son?" "This is nice." "This is Alison." "You must be tired." " Do you want something to drink?" " No, thank you." "How are you?" "Does it hurt?" "It's OK." "Where are your X-rays?" " Where are the X-rays, Al?" " Hold on." "This place is a mess." "Oh, my God!" "It's at least 6"." " Did they give you anesthesia?" " No, an epidural." "It was so scary." "He drilled for the screws, the sound was awful." "Should we pack?" "Are we taking this all tomorrow?" "It's OK, we have time." "I have to move the car." "I can take some bags down." "Are you leaving this?" "No, I like it!" "I found it in a dumpster." "Oh, this is mine." "Thanks." "Maybe I shouldn't leave it in the car overnight." "There's no thieves." "But with all the Eastern Europeans?" "Enough, Frans." "I'm taking this home, I'll come get the rest." "I can show you where the lot is." "Uh?" "OK, thank you." " Bye." " Bye." "Alison is very pretty, with those blue eyes." " You like her?" " Yes." "Your boss, Hervé, gave us a room." "But I don't want to sleep with your dad." "And I doubt he does." "Can I sleep here?" "Mom, it's my last night with Alison." "Yes, but I haven't slept with your dad in 15 years." "I'll ask Clement, we'll work it out." "His comment on immigrants was bad." "He doesn't know Alison." " Alison doesn't sound Romanian." " But maybe she is!" "And anyway?" "she hates far-right extremists." "You know your dad." "He says things without thinking." "Shit!" "Sir, can I go down with you?" "Yes, of course." "Where are you going?" "To buy bread." "There's no bakery up there." "How are you getting back?" "Same way, I wait." "Someone will go up." "That's true, of course." " Your elevator is nice." " You think?" " Yes." "You don't?" " I see it every day, so?" "It's nice in orange, isn't it?" "Do you like orange?" "Yes, but it's not my favorite." " Do you ski?" " Yes." " Are you a champion?" " No." " "No"?" " Not yet." "Are you Microbe 2?" "Yeah, that's it." "I was Microbe, too." "You can't tell, but I was." "Now I'm Big Bacon 1." "Do you believe me?" " Do you know that category?" " No." "Well, that's me." "Thank you, sir." "Where are the bunk beds?" "They must have gotten the wrong room." "Great, it's not a shared shower." "They've got everything." "Just great." "Are your parents stressed out?" "Uh, they're hyperactive, same as always." " Are you sleeping here tonight?" " No, I emptied my room." "Can my mom sleep there?" "My parents got divorced 15 years ago, so it's?" "Mine too, but they haven't spoken in 15 years." "No problem, I'll get the keys." "But it's empty." "I did spring cleaning." "It's weird to end the season." "I won't see you." "You should get email, Facebook." "Electronic mail and social media?" "No, thanks." "We'll text." "But I have to cancel my sailing contract." "It sucks." "Don't worry." "Next winter we'll both he here, OK?" "OK, alright, Boss?" " Goodnight." " Goodnight." "I suppose..." "You'll suggest some typical mountain food." "Yes, but we also have steak, lamb, squash soup, and of course, couscous." "OK." "Wine for everyone?" "Alright, a bottle of local wine, please." "A nice, cold white." "So you're all ski instructors?" "Your parents, your brothers..." "Yes, but I'm quitting and going back to school." " I'm going on exchange." " Where?" " Spain or Scotland." " What's your major?" "Communication and languages, English and Spanish." "Are your parents locals?" "No." "My dad's from Paris, my mom is Canadian, but they've lived here 30 years." "Alright." "Some dessert?" "Boss, what do you have for dessert?" "I have a tarte Tatin, crème brûlée, banana Foster, and Irish coffee." "Well we'll have a drink in any case." " Have some with us." " Dad, Said is Muslim, so?" "Alright, then mint tea or fermented milk and 4 liquors." "I'll have an Irish coffee, please." "It's funny." " Are you OK, Jack?" " Yeah." "Was it painful tonight?" "No, it's OK." "It's funny I've never seen 2 people so different who still seem to love each other." "My dad pisses me off." "But he's my dad." "I love my mom, but she also pisses me off." "It's normal." "Left side or right?" "Uh, left." "Not against the wall." "If that's OK." "Do you still snore?" "Yes." "You?" "What?" " You snored, too." " Me?" "You never told me." "You don't tell a woman that." "Even your wife?" "How nice of you." "Alright." "Good night." "Where are you going?" "To sleep." "What's going on?" "Your dad snores." "Give me Clement's key?" " He doesn't have a mattress." " That's OK." "OK." "Does it hurt?" "A little." " Do you have a fever?" " No." "Want some Tylenol?" "Mom!" "Alison's sleeping." "Oh, yeah." " Here." " Good night." "Sir!" "Sir!" " Can I go up with you?" " Excuse me?" "I want to go up with you." "To do what?" "To see the mountain." "Just a quick tour." "OK." "I'll help." "Thanks." " Put on your gloves, it's cold." " OK." " Hold on, we're off!" " OK." "You wanted to see that?" "Yes." "Exactly." "Do you want fried eggs?" "No, thanks." "Maybe an orange juice." " I'll go." " Thanks, Dad." "I'm going, I have to be up before the 1st heat." " I hope you have a good group." " It's chance." " Goodbye." " Bye, good luck." " Thanks, see you soon." " See you." " Do you want some help?" " OK." "And your juice?" "Yeah, well?" " Bye." " Bye." " Good luck." " Thanks." "She's really beautiful." "Maybe too beautiful." "And... where did you sleep?" "I didn't really sleep." "I walked around." "At night, in the dark?" "I thought you didn't like the mountain." "I like it... since last night." "I saw you fall on your butt." "Really?" "Hey!" "Lovebirds!" "Hurry up, Alison." "You'll be late." "She's really not stressed before a race." "She started competing when she was 5." "Sorry, Mom." "We have to clean the bathroom and vacuum." " Where does the quilt go?" " We pack it, it's mine." " What do I put it in?" " I don't know." " Did you give Mom the keys?" " Ja." "Where is it parked?" "P1." "Here." "What's that for?" " Come on, scrape." " I'll scratch the windshield." "Sir!" "Sir!" "Do you have a scraper, please?" "A local without a scraper." "Don't flood the engine." "Pump it twice." "I hope the battery is charged." " Pump!" "Pump!" " Yes." "This van hasn't moved in a month." "Let me do it." "Sometimes I manage." ""Sometimes"?" "You mean always." " Stop!" "We forgot the bags!" " No!" " Are you OK?" " Yes." "Mom, use the outside mirrors, not the inside ones." "I'll do what I can." "Tell him not to speed." "You can just tell me." " OK?" " Yes." "Remember the hand break." "OK." "I didn't know you smoked." "Does it bother you?" "You must be used to it with Mom." "Her cigarettes smell less than your cigarillos." "Has Mom driven the van before?" "Once or twice to the garage." "Alison probably finished the 1st heat." "I like that girl." "Me, too." "If you want to stay with us to convalesce, that would be nice." "Thanks, but I think I'm OK at home." "What is Alison doing?" "Now she's in the 2nd heat." "Your mom's driving hasn't improved." "You know she's distracted." "Hello!" "Hello!" "Shit." "What's she doing?" "Mom can't handle electronic cards." "You should've taken the other line." "Dammit?" "It's not working." "What's going on, Madame?" "It's not working." "It's not tragic." "Let's try again, calmly." "Give me your card." "Ah, that doesn't work in France." " Do you have another one?" " Yes." "Oh, enough!" "What is 3 minutes in a lifetime?" "That's better." "There you go." "Didn't take long!" " That wasn't hard." " Well, thank you." " Thank you." " Have a good trip." "Slow down, Dad." "Mom can't follow, and they'll stop you." "When did they take your license away?" "I don't remember, I had the BMW." "If I go 75 it will take forever, Mom can't see at night." "Hello!" "Yeah, great!" "Awesome." "Your dad will be happy." "Are you celebrating?" "Cool." "I'll call you tonight." "Love you." "Alison was 3rd." "Super!" "Great!" "Too bad she's leaving competition." "I don't know." " Hello." " Hello." " Do you have anything smaller?" " No, sorry." "Hi, Ma'am." "I'm going North, I saw Belgian plates." "Can you take me?" " Ma'am!" "Ma'am!" " Thanks." "Well, get in." "Thanks." "What's she doing?" "I think she picked up a hitchhiker." "That's dangerous." "She doesn't know him." "He might be violent." "Your mother is insane." "You know what's dangerous, no one helping each other." "When you were little, she'd drive you to Paris." "There were no cell phones." "One night you ran out of gas in the middle of nowhere." "She thought it was normal." "She was careless." "I was terrified." "You shouldn't have worried, we lived." " Where are you going?" " Trondheim." "In Norway?" "That's far." " Have you been?" " No." "I like geography." "What are you doing there?" "I'm a fisherman, and I'm out of work." "With the European quotas there's no work." "I got a job on a codfish trawler." "That's hard work." "Yeah, a five-month contract, and the pay is good." "Can I smoke?" "Go ahead, it's your car." "Want one?" "No thanks, I quit." "It was too expensive." "Where are you going?" "I'm following the grey SUV." "Really?" "Do you ski?" "No." "I snowshoe sometimes." "Can you turn this on?" "I couldn't." " I think it's a CD." " That's alright." "It's like you." "You seem tired." " Do you want me to drive?" " Do you have a license?" "International." "Commercial." "Heavyweight trailers." "Good idea." "It'll be safer." "Where are we?" "We passed Valenciennes." "I think they want to stop." "It's the same button to turn it off." "OK." "Thanks." "You can wait, I'm going to Brussels." "No, I'll find a truck going further." "Goodbye." " How are you, sweetie?" " OK." "What do you want?" "A grilled cheese and a Coke." "That's all?" "I'm not very hungry." "Thanks." "Did your hitchhiker talk to you?" "Yes, he was very nice." "He's a fisherman." " A seaman?" " Indeed." "Hi." "All together?" "Don't worry, Fifi." "It's on me." " Here." " Thanks." "Don't forget your ibuprofen when you eat." "I'm not taking them for long." "They make me nauseous." "How are you, Mom?" "Great." "I slept a little." "You slept in the car?" "Yes, it's weird." "I wasn't afraid with him." "I should hire him to drive." "What's he doing?" "I don't know." "Want my sandwich, Dad?" "I'm not hungry." "But you barely ate!" ""I found a truck going to Hamburg." "Thanks for the ride." ""You're very beautiful." "Leo."" "That's good news." "Here." " Thanks, Mom." " Here." " How's that?" " Perfect." "Go to bed." "You're exhausted." "Yes." "I wonder why you wanted to bring this awful thing." "Right..." "Sleep well, son." " I'll come by tomorrow." " Bye, Dad." "Hello, baby?" "Hi, how are you?" "Yeah, we're here." " You're sure it'll be OK?" " Yes." "Thank you." "For what?" "He's our son." "Subtitles:" "Eclair Group"
