"When will Mommy get home from hospital, Rose?" "Soon." "Where are we going?" "To friends Mom used to know." "They're expecting us." "It's the brown house on the right." "We're going alone?" " Yeah." " Are they mean?" "No." "I'll come get you." "When?" "Soon, a week or two." "I'm a bit scared." "Don't be a baby, Felix." "Will I be able to sleep in your bed?" "I'm sure." "I'm still a little scared." "Think of Momo." "Did you forget him?" "No, he's in my backpack." "A little closer, please." "That's it." "We'll go around." "Madame, look to the left, please." "To your left." "Great." "Everybody turn toward me, toward the camera." "Everybody look at me." "Smile!" "Precise movements... even in slow motion." "Slower than that, Rose." "Empty your mind." "Very slowly." "Lower yourselves slowly, gradually." "Your ad worked!" "Registration's way up." "Rose?" "Where's my report?" "Sitting on your desk." "Thanks." "See you!" "I'm hungry." "OK, princess, but first..." "Fuck, I forgot the chicken." "I'll cook for you after." "I can't be late." "The architect's coming." "So what?" "With the plans for the studio." "So what?" "Turn around." " I want to touch you." " No." "Just let me." "Rose!" "Rose!" "Mommy?" "I'm here, I'm waiting for you." "I can't wait to see you." "Don't forget my diary." "It's the little black notebook." "Mom?" "You can go on sleeping here." "Unless I have a girl over." "Then you'll sleep in the car." "Is that clear?" " It's clear." " Is that clear?" "You'll do a run tomorrow." "Don't screw up like him." "You listening?" "I'm not deaf, Tony." "Don't talk back!" "Beat it!" "Don't worry." "I've enough cash for both of us." "I hate his guts!" "Forget it." "We won't be here long." "I'm so happy to see you!" "Lt's been ages!" "You look good." "I missed you." "Me too." "Are you hungry?" "No, I'll just have coffee." "A coffee." "How's Felix?" "He'll be taller than your father." "That's good." "He's been gone over a week." "I'm worried." "What's the other one say?" "He's doing better." " Really." " You say that..." "Your father's better these days." "Don't take me for a fool." "I've heard that all my life." "Felix hasn't visited in two years." "Neither have you." "Maybe he's mad you left." "This is my new cell number." "Will you give it to him?" "Are things OK with your friend..." "Nathan?" "Yeah, really good." "And my diary?" "Oh my God!" "I was so excited to see you, I forgot." "Mom..." "The diary doesn't matter." "We can get it." "Your dad's on a job." "I'm so sorry." "Françoise called me." "Don't be mad." "She was right to call." "You have to leave him." "You're doped on tranquilizers." "You don't know where Felix is." "Mom, look at me." "Please." "If you want your diary, let's go." "Are you sure he's not home?" "He's on a construction site till late." "I'll get my stuff in my room and go." "I'll never understand you." "I'm used to it." "I keep my mouth shut." "We're doing OK." "I hate when you say that." "Your hatred doesn't help me." "What's he doing here?" " I'll phone!" " Wait!" "Rose!" "Hi." "You OK?" "The girl dressed like a whore, she's in your class?" "Dressing like a whore doesn't mean she is one." "You saw her makeup." "She's cool." "I'd like to be more like her." "She sure isn't my type." "You don't even know her!" "Don't get worked up for nothing." "Who cares about her?" "Lighten up." "Can't you accept an indirect compliment?" " A compliment?" " Yes." "You're fast on your feet!" "I like letting you win." "You're often sad for nothing." "Let's eat out tonight." "Mommy?" "Felix?" "Come on." "Sit down, Mom." "Sit down." "Where's Felix, Mom?" "I don't know." "I'm worried, he..." "I'll find him." "He took some money." "I'm scared." "I don't know what's going on with him." "That bastard!" "We'll go to hospital." "I won't go." "We'll go to Françoise's." "Stand up." "Stand up." "Hurry, we'll go to Françoise's." "Max?" "I'm looking for Felix." "Your brother hasn't been to school in weeks." "Any ideas?" "He was hanging with a kid named David." "Tell him I'm looking for him." "Felix!" "I was looking for you!" "I'm so happy to see you!" "You've changed." "You're so grown up." "Why're you here?" "To visit mom and see you too." "Where have you been?" "What's it to you?" "Hi." "Hello." "This is David." "Mom's worried about you." "She hasn't seen you in ages." "I'm at David's." "It's cooler." "Why didn't you come stay with me?" "I asked you!" "Mad at me?" "No, I promise I'll visit." "As soon as I catch up in school." "I've been skipping." "We have to go." "His mother's waiting." "Mom's at Françoise's." "Just call, tell her you're OK." "I'll give you my card." "With my cell number on it." "OK, perfect." "Will you call me this week?" " Promise?" " Yeah, sure." "David, what's your number?" "Why?" "So I can reach you." "0736." "Feel like eating?" "My treat." "Look, his mom's waiting." "Call me?" "Tell me that story again." "I told you 20 times!" "Please, I love it." "I don't want to sleep." "It's a waste of time." "You're right." "I'll bite you instead." "Mom!" "It's perfect for rehearsals." "It's great, very spacious." "As I said, it has heating, a bathroom, stage lights..." "Everything works." "I have the papers with me." "If you want we can sign." "Fine with me." "You won't be sorry." "What's the name of your studio?" "Studio Des Bois." "What can we do for you?" "I rented the studio next door." "I wanted to meet you." " With pleasure." " Come in." "Sweet of you to introduce yourself." "I had no choice." "It'll take some time." "No man has the right to put his family through that." "He'll see that eventually." "My sister and I understand what you're doing." "You can count on our help." "I'll be around a lot." "Don't you worry, Rose." "If you knew how many people tell us their secrets." "We can keep our mouths shut." "Can't we, Lucille?" "You betcha!" "Thank you." "Thank you so much." "When will you be back?" "In ten days." "No longer, I hope." "But we're just two researchers." "I'm going to miss you." "I'll call you every day." "I love you." "Me too." "Ten days without sex!" " Gonna cheat on me?" " Not if you call every day." "You look amazing, Rose." "I always knew you'd be a princess." "Tell me what you want." "Maybe I can help." "Having trouble with your boss?" "You want to go to university?" "I'm not against it." "Where's Felix?" "So it's Felix you want to talk about?" "Thinking of taking him in?" "He's a handful." "I'm worried." "He hasn't called in days." "If you watched him instead of moping like a dumb-ass martyr!" "Don't talk to my mother like that." "Not eating?" "Like some wine?" "My little Rose." "You want to move back?" "You broke up with your lover?" "You need money, is that it?" "Tell me." "I know you want something." "Tell me." "Maybe I can help you." "Get me the mustard." "Can't you get it yourself?" "Why?" "She likes it." "Your mother's not like you." "You're different." "You're like me." "I've known lots of women, but she's unique." "Your mom wants to live in a fog." "She likes it." "She's the type who leaves no trace, who's invisible." "Invisible by choice." "Have you noticed?" "The type of woman who casts no shadow when she walks." "You realize, Rose..." "Your mother floats, barely there." "Think you can change her?" "You already tried." "Get up." "Talking to me?" "You." "Get up." "You want to play, Rose?" "Up!" " Rose!" " Get your coat, Mom." " Move." " Stop this game!" "I'll shoot you in the leg." "Are you crazy?" "Your coat." "And the car keys." " Do as I say!" " This is ridiculous." "Get up!" "I'll call the police." "You never reported him." "But me you'll report, Mom?" "Stop or I'll shoot." " Leave him alone!" " Shut up, Lyne!" "Back off!" "Back off!" "Move." "Let go!" "Don't move!" "What's your plan?" "Get off me!" "Who are they?" "Stop that!" "Let me go!" "Stop!" "You're completely crazy!" "Stop it!" "What is that?" "Come back to wash him up." "Nathan!" "I love you." "I want to spoil you." "Anything you want when you get back, it's yes." "Yes to everything!" "I'll leave more often." "When will you be back?" "Not for two weeks." "Think what gives you pleasure." "Anything!" "I love you." "I love you too." "A big kiss." "Get undressed." "Take off your pants!" "Empty your pockets." "Let's go, hurry up!" "Take off your shoes." "I like your shoes." "Move it!" "Now run home and cry to mommy!" "Beat it, you fuck!" "You look like a lost lamb!" "You lost your shirt?" "Go buy us a case of beer." "I counted it, don't worry." "I have no money." "Excuse me, beautiful." "You and David sleep in the car." "Be careful." "Not more'n one." "If I pop two, I'm fucked up." "With one you can still do a day's work." "We tested it on the kids." "Peed our pants laughing!" "They jumped around like monkeys." "I gave him two." "He lay down and didn't move for a day." "Anyway, after two you're hooked." "It's crazy." " Where is he?" " Trust me." "You'll like the job I got you." "Things will change." "His men will wonder." "I want to know!" "I told them he had a nervous breakdown, that he needed a rest." "They'll finish the job without him." " Go to sleep." " I can't!" "I'll read to you." "I can't!" "I can't!" ""For 4000 years, bread has fed humanity." ""A universal staple," ""bread holds a central place in the hierarchy of foods." ""More than mere sustenance," ""it is a symbol of sharing and friendship."" "You scare me, Rose." "Let yourself go." "close your eyes." ""We break bread at almost every occasión." ""But its daily presence on our table should not blind us to the fact" ""that it is the result of a long process" ""uniting three different trades:" ""The farmer, who sows to earth," ""the miller..."" "I can't see!" "My sight isn't as good as yours." "Sir?" "Sir, don't be scared." "We're two neighbours." "You're not very old!" "You must have had your daughter young." "I bet you're hungry." "We made you chicken soup." "Not hungry?" "We brought you a pillow and blanket." "Rose asked us to look after you." "We'll let you rest now." "You had a hard day." "Rose's friends will be here soon to tidy you up." "Rose will come visit you tomorrow." "Good night, sir." "We'll pray for you." "There's injustice, a real reason not to be a family." "Families destined for disaster, they exist, I know." "I used to pray you'd die in a car crash." "That's not normal." "Untie me, you idiot!" "Untie me!" "You're completely insane!" "I thought I could look you in the eyes without fear, but I can't." "You always were a drama queen." "Now stop your game and untie me." "My back hurts." "I'll bring cushions." "How long will I stay here?" "Untie me now or I'll rip your head off!" "You're completely crazy!" "Untie me!" "It's all up to you now." "You won't get another chance." "People can change." "A man's life consists of many lives." "You can change." "You're completely sick!" "You need help!" " I'll kill you!" " I believe you." ""Animals pose such startling questions." ""They make us examine our most cherished truths." ""They teach us that perception can modify our metabolism." ""They reveal to us how skills are inherited." ""The solitary being is not a being." ""I cannot live unless you exist." ""The individual is a relative notion." ""'I can only be with, be in,'" ""we learn from social animals who die if they are isolated." ""The mother, family," ""the group and its values are a living environment," ""a shell that structures us," ""a model that organizes us."" "It's so beautiful." "Close your eyes, listen." "No, a baguette." "And a sourdough French and a whole wheat loaf." "This is the sourdough French." "You can go on break after this." "Thanks." "Is that it?" "Ginette can ring it up, if you want." "Rose's friends are so nice." "They just love walking our dog." "Here, this will keep you warm." "I brought you a cardigan that belonged to my husband." "You get cold if you don't move." "Could you open a window?" "I'm hot." "Does it need more salt?" "Do you have a cell?" "I need to call my wife and crew." "They'll be worried." "We can't." "Rose wouldn't like it." "Is it normal to imprison your father?" "You realize you're accomplices." "Rose is dangerous." "She's armed!" "Get me a phone." "You won't be charged." "We'll discuss it with Rose." "For now, it's her decisión." "Like an apple?" "My daughter is crazy!" "I'll get sick in here." "Do something before it's too late!" "We aren't deaf." "You don't have to raise your voice." "Thanks, ladies." "You can stretch your legs." "Go fuck yourselves!" "Assholes!" "I bought you some clothes on sale." "I don't need them." "Yours fit me." "Let's go home." "No, I'm dead tired." "I'm on my feet the whole day." "I can't smoke." "I hate it!" "You'll see, you'll sleep better." "I need to know." "You have to tell me." " Mom, please." " I don't feel well!" "You'll feel better." "For now think only of yourself." "I don't feel well." "It's so hard to reinvent a past." "I'm searching for a truth of my own, one I can love." "You say nothing." "You never told me anything important." "This is you touching me, Dad." "It's you." "Very animal." "Concentrate." "Let yourselves feel." "It's all about letting go." "Thanks everyone." "You were really good today." "Off you go, vipers." "Great, everybody!" "You were all very good today." "Thank you." "Thanks, Rose." "Yes, Aurélie?" "I'd have told you." "You came back early." "She won't stay long." "She has a job." "It's just a strange way to meet her." "So she's leaving your dad?" "Tell me what's up." "I was going to tell you." "She won't stay long." "Fine, but what's going on?" "Relax." "She needs a break." "She doesn't want to talk about it." "Don't worry, she won't be in the way." "I'm happy you came back early." "Come, Mom." "I hope you're hungry too." "I'd eat a little snack." "I want you to clean everything up!" "You'll replace the stolen computers." "All the DVD players." "Understand?" " But..." " Shut up!" "Not a word!" "I'm not interested in your excuses!" "Fuck your excuses!" "You were supposed to guard the place and the stock." "You'll replace whatever's gone." "By midnight, or I'll break your legs!" " Is that clear?" " Yes." "Is that clear?" "C'mon, don't just sit there!" "He's a psycho!" "We've no time to lose." "I'm not working for him." "We just need the cash to get to New York." "I can't go home." "It's worse!" "Come." "Hurry up!" "The back door." "He'll kill us." "Hurry!" " What?" " He wants to kill us!" "He's crazy!" "I'm scared!" "Hurry!" "Calm down!" "Do you think I'm a jerk?" "Do you?" "Not the hole!" "No!" "No more bullshit." "You do what I say, we forget last night." "Killing's different." "I don't need a philosophy course!" "You do it, or you'll be sorry." "That wasn't the deal." "Let me go!" "Enough." "Put him in the hole too." "Who's she?" "Did you call for a new girl?" "I'm here for Felix." "C'mon, Felix." "Felix, that runt?" "You know her?" "Felix comes with me." "He never mentioned his sister?" "His crazy sister?" "I'll get David." "Don't touch him!" " You don't..." " Shut up!" "Felix, hurry up." "Get into the hole!" "Now!" "He never mentioned his crazy sister?" "Well, now you know!" "You'll sleep in the guest room." "And Mom in the office." "I'll take care of you." "Is that OK, Nathan?" "We can't just abandon them." "No, of course not." "Is Mom here?" "She works in a bakery." "I'll explain." "Shower and get some sleep." "You need it." "I'm not staying here." "David and I wanted to go on a trip." "Forget what you wanted and do as I say." "What's your parents' number?" "The real one this time." "I live with my mom, and she's not home much." "He's bleeding." "My sister is there." "We have to call the police." "Not the police!" "Forget the police." "Wait for me!" "Wait!" "I'll be right over." "What's going on?" "I'll stay with my cousin." "Thanks." "Are you sure?" "You can stay here for now." "If you need help, call us." "Don't go back there." "I have to go." "Look after Felix." "What's going on?" "I'll be back soon." "It's gone too far." "Listen to us." "It's getting dangerous." "Take him to hospital." "He's manipulating you." "You're reacting the way he wants." "Leave us alone." "I'll stay." "I'll drop by after." "We'll be at home." "We'll be waiting for you." "You don't scare me." "Your little act won't work." "I'm used to blood, thanks to you." "Where's your dad?" "Not here." " Do you go to school?" " Not much." "Why not?" "I don't like it." "Aren't you too young to quit?" "Depends." "Your sister said you were in trouble." "Is that true?" "I don't think so." "I don't know what's going on, but..." "Nothing much." "Does your TV work?" "We could never trust him." "I was always afraid of him." "He beat my mother in front of us, swearing at her." "Until she bled and couldn't move." "He broke one of my fingers." "He was always beating Felix." " I couldn't protect him!" " Stop it." "But she really got it." "No wonder she's on pills." "He even pissed on her once." "She wasn't like that when they met." "If he was retarded, mentally unfit, I'd understand." "But he runs his own company!" "I bet he's charming away from home, with his employees, and his mistress..." "I don't know." "I don't know anyone." "My teachers are stupid." "I found it hard when I moved to Montreal." "You'll make friends." "I don't want any." "Nothing you say makes me want to untie you." "What's in your head?" "Hurting those you're supposed to love..." "That's stupid, Dad!" "Think you're better than your kids?" "Your wife?" "Just because I used physical discipline, you've no right to moralize." " Or do this, Rose!" " Moralize?" "You drive me crazy!" "Not to mention Mom, who's a wreck because of you." "She should've left you long ago." "You call it physical discipline?" "Know what a punch in the face feels like?" "Is it no big deal?" "Do you enjoy it?" "Tell me it's no big deal!" "I can hit you too." "It's easy to use force." "I hate you." "I hate you." "Find one good reason why I should trust you." "Find me one..." "in your sadistic little head, an iota of an explanation." "I need an explanation." "My brother needs an explanation." "My mother needs one too." "We all need to know why you made us suffer so much." "Talk!" "Why don't you talk?" "Talk!" "Why don't you say something?" " Where were you?" " Leave me alone." "At night you come home when I say." "No way." "Screw you!" "Don't talk to me like that!" "You'll do as I say." "And go to school!" "You're not my father." "I hate it here." "I'm leaving!" "And return to your dealer pals?" "Do you want to end up in jail?" "You will, if what Mom says is true." "Shut up!" "Go to your room!" " You're rough on him." " Shut up!" "Don't start talking to me like that." "Are you hungry?" "Yeah." "Do you want your sandwich?" "I know it's not easy." "But you scare me." "Take a break, everyone." "Are you OK, Rose?" "I'm fine." "I don't understand." "You're unfocused." "You come late..." "Nathan left me." "I'll get over it." "Take two days off." "I need a someone reliable, especially now." "Not someone who flies off the handle." "Here we go, everyone." "Positions, please." "This is my father." "He'll no doubt say the only things he can." "You're completely nuts." "Say that again." "I'm not sure I understood." "I knew you're cracked, but not like this." "You're beginning to understand." "I'm not cracked." "I'm shattered." "It's beyond your imagination, huh?" " It burns my stomach!" " Enough!" "Bravo!" "Bravo!" "Encore!" "Again!" "Tell me again you're sorry." "Tell me again you're sorry for what you did to us." " Stop!" " Good." "You know you have to stop." "Tell me again, Dad." "I'm not sure I understood." "Tell me again." "Tell me again." "Say it!" "You're just like me." "I'd have liked an explanation... but it's inexplicable." "I'd have liked you to confess your hatred of us." "It would have been an answer of sorts." "You love no one." "Maybe you do." "I don't know." "I'm tired of talking about it." "You no longer rule this family." "You speak or you leave." "It's your decisión." "I guess." "Everything will be different now." "I still don't know how." "I see things as being... temporary." "Subtitles by Robert Gray, Kinograph Inc." "Processing by Global Visión"
