How is the injured child?
I'm going straight into the lake.
Shouldn't Louise be here?
Maybe she's working.
It creeps me out. Hello?
Nothing unusual. It'll come back.
Take this.
Stop moving, Titi. We can't see a thing.
Stay there. Don't touch.
Look. A chess board.
Titi, please.
- Remember anything, Bas? - A little.
- Beer? - Sure.
We're here. Where are you?
You're crushing me.
Chloé isn't in, but we're here with the kids.
Pick a bed.
I just don't want...
to...
fall.
Do all rooms smell stuffy?
I don' t know.
The heat is killing me.
Chloé looks as tidy as you are.
We're going for a swim. Come for a dip at least.
Watch out.
My love.
Finally.
- Then you lose the sense of smell. - It decreases.
- Hello, you. - Hi.
Good to see you.
- How are you? - Fine. And you?
- You look good. All grown—up. - Thanks.
Mom?
Where's my Switch?
It should be on the piano, sweetheart.
- Are you okay, Titi? - Yes?
You look depressed.
Thanks.
Come here. Have you been eating chips?
I'm thirsty. I want some juice.
Didn't Chloé wake you up last night, guys?
No.
It's not my fault they're in my room.
How old are you now, Bastien?
Thirteen. Turning fourteen.
- Already? - Fourteen... My God.
I thought the age gap between you was bigger.
Chloé, how old were you last time? Ten? Eleven?
Yeah.
Hi, Chloé.
What's wrong?
What a fucking witch.
I just like wearing leggings.
They look small.
Chlo?
Chloé?
- What? - Come down!
- Take the boys to the pier. - Later.
Now. Or no cellphone for twenty—four hours.
I'll fucking kill her.
Look.
- Seriously, Titi? - Yes.
- Where did you find it? - Over there.
That's worth a lot in Paris.
- We are going to be rich. - Rich.
The Whole family, I hope.
Get me a full bucket of them. Okay?
Small ones are more expensive.
The water is not that warm.
You don't have to drink it.
- Do you often do that? - What?
- Do you often do this? - Offer people drinks?
Make things up to get rid of your brother.
All the time.
Don't you have a phone?
No. I'll get one when I turn fourteen.
Coming?
Yeah.
It's cold.
Why do you keep your shirt on?
I don't think I'm going to swim.
Are you scared the ghost might grab you?
Didn't you know about the ghost?
I don't believe in ghosts.
They found a kid's body in the wild part of the lake.
Maybe he's just dead.
Why should he be a ghost?
Because it was an accident.
I just don't like swimming.
Why not?
When I was younger, I almost drowned so...
Apparently, it's fun to drown.
Really?
When you hold your breath underwater, your lungs contract.
So when you need to inhale,
your lungs fill with water and it feels amazing.
Too bad I missed that.
I took several.
I don't look dead enough.
Hey, buddy. How you doin'?
Hey, Bryan.
Hi, baby.
I'm the one who sold him the house.
I used a process called "spontaneous fermentation",
wherein, like, I let the...
the natural yeast in the air ferment the wine, which is...
- I can't find the bowls. - The bowls?
They're... by the fridge. Right over there, yeah.
And so, I think that when you do that it gives it a certain "je me sais quoi,"
you know what I mean? I know that the French know all...
Chateau—Bryan... Chateaubriand.
I love making puns.
Thank you. I'll take it, I'll take it.
I don't know if it's Chateaubriand...
but I'm pretty proud of it, actually.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
Cheers.
- Excuse me. - It's good.
It's not the wine.
That's my weapon.
And it's delicious, baby. It is.
So... You guys have known each other for a long time?
Our moms were best friends, so...
...we spent our childhood at the cabin...
until this French bastard came in and stole her away from me.
The French charm, yeah?
You like chilling with the kids?
Yeah.. . No.
Come.
Who shit their pants?
You're taking mini-sips.
Such good wine.
Let me see your hand.
Your hands are tiny.
Yours is huge.
It's not normal.
Look.
It feels weird, right?
It's like touching a corpse.
You know too much weird stuff.
Don't you?
What? Weird stuff?
Yeah.
I do.
Like what?
I don't know if it's weird...
but you can't bite yourself until you bleed.
It's physically impossible.
- I don't believe it. - It's true.
The pain stops you.
It forces you to stop before you bleed.
I'm sure I can do it.
- You can't. It's impossible. - You just bite.
In a survival situation, you might eat your hand, legs or feet.
- What's up? - Hey.
Can I have a smoke?
Can I have some wine?
Deal.
Does he want one?
- You want a cigarette? - Sure. Yeah, thanks.
This is Oliver, by the way. He's... the new guy.
- Nice to meet you. - And this is... Chloé.
Hi, Chloé.
- Do you have a light? - Yeah.
Thanks.
Who's the kid?
Bastien. He's French.
French?
Hello.
Nice to meet you.
"LOL."
I heard you and Jackson broke up.
None of your business.
"None of your business."
This is uncomfortable.
We could, you know...
get the fuck out of here and live our dreams.
Sure.
Where are we going?
Are you coming?
Yeah.
You almost fell.
- You want me to speak French? - Yeah.
- My French is horrible, though. - You can try it.
You're not gonna be impressed. There it is.
So...
"Hello."
"My name is Oliver."
"I can speak a little French."
"My aunt's dog is...
yellow. "
"Yellow"?
What the fuck? You suck, man, like...
- You suck! - What do they teach you in school?
Fuck you, man. I'm learning, alright? I'm getting there.
Yeah. That's What she said, right?
- When did you move? - What?
Where is your cabin, then?
- Well, you were there. - What?
