Stars by the Pound (2018) - full transcript
Lois, 16, has had only one dream since she was a child: becoming an astronaut.
The universe is big,
super big.
Our solar system alone
is 9.09 billion kilometers.
And the planets in it
aren't all the same size.
For instance, the biggest is Jupiter.
But no one bothers big, old Jupiter.
There's tons of space in the universe.
It's totally obese though.
It would take 1,321 Earth-sized bodies
to fill up the volume of Jupiter.
The inhabitants of Jupiter
are Jovians.
Their problem is room.
Coming through!
Jovians love Earthlings' food so much
that their bodies store it all.
That's why they're this shape.
Earthlings shack up
with Jovians sometimes.
That's what's called not seeing shit!
I'm Lois, like Superman's girlfriend.
He isn't an Earthling either.
Come eat!
No thanks!
Next to Jupiter,
his planet Krypton
is like a luxury hotel.
COMPETITION
WIN A ZERO-G FLIGHT
On Jupiter,
all specular reflection is banned.
That's when an object appears
in a reflective surface
and reflects the exact same light
to the observer.
The only thing worth remembering is...
life on Jupiter basically
isn't an option.
STARS BY THE POUND
I was a student here 10 years ago
and I had your teacher.
Proof it’ll get you somewhere!
For sure! It certainly did me.
I'm now an engineer at the CNES,
the National Center for Space Studies.
Our job is to plan space missions.
We not only send machines
but spacecraft with astronauts
inside them too.
Lois, let me introduce you to Mathieu.
Hello, Lois.
Hello.
Lois is my best student.
She's passionate, hard-working...
A bit reserved too.
She's entering
the CNES junior competition.
Could you take a look at her project?
- Sure, no problem.
- Show him.
- Do you have it here?
- She's really into it.
The aim of my project
is to collect air in space.
OK, all right.
I figure I need a helium balloon probe
to reach the stratosphere.
All right.
In the gondola,
I’ve created a syringe system
to collect the air.
I've added a GPS unit too
to locate it when it comes back.
All right.
- The transponder is the GPS?
- That's right.
OK.
It's pretty good.
Not bad, huh?
Do you think I can win with this?
I really couldn't say.
There are going to be
all sorts of different projects.
But what I can say is,
yours is really, really good.
I can see you've worked hard
and you know your stuff.
Thank you.
The thing is...
Just so that you...
It's an opportunity to realize
you don't need to go into space
to discover the universe.
The thing is...
I've discussed this with Mathieu.
How many spacemen did the European
Space Agency select last year?
Six.
- Out of 8,400 applicants...
- 8,420 applicants.
8,420.
Yes. They were really...
sporty, like top athletes.
You have to be..
Physically, it's...
Not everyone can be an astronaut.
You see?
I was thinking the other day...
Stephen Hawking...
Everyone's heard of him.
He's handicapped
but he's taught us much more
than Neil Armstrong, say.
- Sure.
- Ever thought about that?
Mathieu... it's the same thing.
Planning space missions is fascinating.
No, er, yes, sorry.
That's right, it's fascinating.
In any case, if you like space..
It's great he's here,
you two can talk about it.
- Did you do a prep class?
- Yes. There are loads.
You'll have to choose
so it'd be good to chat
about which direction to take.
I don't need you!
I've chosen my prep class.
All right.
What's wrong?
Hang on, I've got something
that'll make you feel better.
I brought...
It isn't much.
Just a small gift.
It's a parachute for your probe.
- Awesome!
- The literature...
Are you OK?
Lois!
90/60.
The school nurse says
it's the 3rd time in a month.
If you don't eat,
you'll damage your body.
You'll be sick,
you'll keep fainting.
- I'm not sick.
- Sure!
I'm not sick, I don't faint.
If you don't eat,
there'll be no competition in Toulouse.
Leave this to me.
What's this?
You have to stop, Lois.
You can't have what you want.
Just look.
Go on.
When I was 20,
I had a gastric ring fitted.
It didn't work.
So for my 25th birthday,
I had a gastrectomy.
Do you know what that is, Lois?
Look at me.
It's when this is removed.
Then I had a bypass.
I almost died.
Your dad saved me.
Don't make the same mistakes as me.
Dad and I are here.
Hello, my girl.
Hello, honey. How are you?
We're here, sweetie.
Hello.
Easy.
Stay still, sweetie.
Be calm.
Where are we?
At the hospital.
You gave us such a scare.
Just stay in bed, honey.
No! I have to go to Toulouse.
You almost died, Lois.
Why did you have kids with a fatso?
I'll wait outside.
I wanna go to the competition.
Are you gonna take me?
What's got into you?
This isn't like you, honey.
It isn't like you at all.
Upsetting your mom,
hurting yourself. What is this?
We're your parents.
You can't speak to us like that!
Honey...
Come on, Lois.
I'll go see Mom.
Get some rest.
You OK?
Parents are meant to take a hit.
Or what's the point?
Do you have a tissue?
Use the sheet.
They'll get changed.
No way.
- That's gross.
- You're gross, Stannah.
- How long have I been here?
- I don't work here!
You got here
the day before yesterday.
They thought you were dead.
I knew you weren't.
Know why?
I've already seen a corpse.
When you die,
the blood rushes down.
So you look like a popsicle.
Blueberry and vanilla.
Get the picture?
Ending up like a popsicle sucks.
Would you like to see that?
We could try it out here.
Breathe out slowly.
All the way.
Now breathe normally.
I see what you're trying to do,
but it isn't that simple.
Some folk are tall, others short.
Same with weight.
It's a question of metabolism.
One thing's for certain,
stopping eating is pointless.
In fact,
you should start eating again.
That way, we can remove
your feeding tube.
Sound good?
What do you think?
POLYSTYRENE SHEETS
SURVIVAL BLANKET
Hurry up,
I have to take you back.
Other girls are waiting.
You've got 2 minutes.
They're watching us.
They're scared we'll puke our guts out.
You eating the ceiling?
Feeling peckish?
I need a favor.
I got my camera back.
But the nurses are on to me.
You gotta hide it.
I don't give a shit.
- You don't?
- Give me a break.
You're so fucking mean.
They don't know you.
What d'you want? Smokes?
Booze?
I want to go into space.
Can you fix that?
No.
No one can.
I know a way.
We jack a few bags
of Jerome's white powder.
You'll be in space in no time!
Don't talk crap.
I'm opening the door now.
Unbelievable!
- Give us some privacy.
- Come out.
- It's been an hour!
- I'm really constipated.
Open this door. Now.
You're 19
and you're acting like you're 5.
Come out now!
Sure, come on in.
You gonna wipe me too?
Stand on here.
I'm no pro but it's kinda like this.
What you doing, dancing?
What?
How is it then?
Oh yeah, hang on,
on the moon, they do this.
That isn't it!
You're not even trying.
Show me.
- I bet you know.
- No way.
This isn't space.
You suck!
When you see me in the video,
you're gonna regret it.
Everyone'll think I was in space.
How do astronauts move on the moon?
There's less gravity for starters.
Because it's the moon...
it's easier.
I dunno...
like this.
Go on, I'll follow you.
Next.
I said no.
Next.
I don't want you to push me!
Suit yourself.
About fucking time.
I hate her damn lapdog.
Is Stannah her first name?
No! Stannah's a stairlift brand.
That thing for oldies.
It's me who came up with it.
Cool, huh?
She took to it right away.
Why did it hurt less when I didn't eat?
When you don't eat,
your body makes hormones
so you don't feel tired and stuff.
Hormones are like drugs, girl.
They make you high.
Check this out.
Please stop, it hurts.
- Ah, that's better!
- It hurts.
It stinks.
Tell me again about
what we'll win at that competition.
The zero-G flight.
Sure you want to go?
What about your folks?
I don't give a crap.
They're assholes.
They don't even come visit anymore.
It suits me fine.
I don't wanna see them either.
Come on,
tell me about this zero-G.
You're on a plane,
and it goes really high.
You're inside,
and when it drops,
you drop too.
For 20 seconds,
it's like you're in space.
You're weightless.
For 20 seconds,
you don't feel your weight,
you don't feel your body.
Wicked.
But how high is 45-km altitude?
It's the beginning of space.
Only spacemen go up there.
How will we sneak out?
That's super easy.
It's the rest that'll be tough.
Even so though.
You watch too many movies.
Everyone's here voluntarily.
Really?
No one asked me about it.
There are emergency cases too.
What about you?
I did it for my folks.
Have you already run away then?
Not from here
but from other centers.
Fuck! That bitch is at it again.
It wasn't me.
You're a pain!
To work out
which color will enhance you,
you have to know one thing...
your skin's undertones.
In other words,
we're going to see which colors
make you look beautiful.
So when would we go?
Wearing colors that suit you...
Toulouse is an 8-hour drive.
So if we leave tomorrow,
we'll be there in two days.
The simplest way is
to look at the veins on your wrists.
If they're green,
you have a warm skin tone.
If they're blue,
you have a cold skin tone.
If they're not blue or green,
you have a neutral skin tone.
Your skin's undertones...
We want to come with you.
We ain't taking that baggage.
It isn't out of your way.
We drop Justine in the Limousin.
I just want out.
- What the fuck's she gonna do there?
- Live in a cave.
With no electromagnetic waves...
Right, girls...
could you please stop talking?
This could actually be useful.
But, miss,
I was just explaining to her
about the tone's underskins.
- The skin's undertones.
- Precisely.
She gets it now.
Don't you?
She does.
Right, colors...
They give you energy
and a real radiance...
- I just want out of here.
- Dream on!
We're going to do an exercise.
I have a clothes rack...
- We have a competition.
- Who gives a crap?
Find another babysitter!
I can take care of Justine.
We just want to go with you.
Give me a break!
- What's the problem?
- We don't want you.
- Stop busting my balls!
- What's the problem?
Quiet. Right...
- Damn! What's going on?
- It wasn't me.
What's going on?
Will this convince you?
- It doesn't work.
- Hang on.
Why doesn't it work?
The pass doesn't work.
- Stannah, it doesn't work.
- Just a second.
What the fuck is this?
Your canteen pass?
You've fucking screwed us!
No way! I stole it, OK?
I don't know what's wrong.
You're such a jerk.
Let's go.
We'll try tomorrow, OK?
No. We've gotta leave tonight.
- We leave tomorrow.
- No!
We won't get there in time.
- Fucking come on!
- We've gotta open this door.
- Drop it, Lois.
- No fucking way!
I want out!
I'm going to the competition.
I wanna go to the competition!
What the fuck?
- What are you doing?
- I wanna get out.
You're nuts.
Get a move on.
Justine, hurry!
Hurry the fuck up!
Shut up!
I'm gonna kill you!
Folks don't even feel sorry
for the disabled.
You're useless!
And you're a sorry sight.
Fucking weirdo!
I should've told you
to go back to your room.
-Why didn’t I?
- We'd be fine without you.
Now we're on a shitty road
with a fucking dumbass!
That's fucking all!
We’re just...
Thanks a lot.
The train was too expensive.
Yeah, the train's a rip-off.
Your funeral is in Toulouse, huh?
That's right, Toulouse.
Could we stop here first?
- What the fuck's this?
- My cave.
Not going to the funeral?
Yes. We all are.
Don't touch that.
- You OK in the back?
- Justine, stop.
Are you OK?
Fine.
Stop that.
Whose funeral is it?
- My grandma's.
- A friend's.
A friend's grandma's.
Where d'you meet?
We're at college.
Studying what?
Psych.
I'm not going to Toulouse.
I'll drop you somewhere.
I'll be right back.
How are you?
Is everything OK?
Yes, fine.
Dad, you've got to take me to Toulouse
for the competition.
It's in two days. Please.
OK. But where are you?
Who are you with?
The other girls from the center.
We're in a hotel somewhere.
See if there's a brochure.
It'll say at the bottom
the name of the town or...
The other girls are a bit crazy.
I want to apologize
for what I said to Mom.
I need to know where you are
so we can come get you.
The police are here...
Hang on!
- The police are here. It's a mess.
- The police?
Actually, forget it.
I can manage. It's OK.
- Don't tell Mom.
- She wants a word.
No. I'm going to the competition.
OK, but don't hang up.
Talk to me.
Bitch!
Get lost, fatso.
Jean-Luc?
- What?
- Let's go.
- Where?
- Toulouse!
Why go to Toulouse?
- It's pointless.
- What?
- It's pointless to go to Toulouse.
-Why?
- Because she isn't there.
- What?
Because she isn't there.
Where is she?
She's on the way to Guiana.
She wants to go in a rocket so she's...
Don't worry,
I'll call the airports.
Why aren't you in bed?
Why isn't she in bed?
It's 1 AM and she's still up.
Of course!
Amelie's locked herself in the bathroom.
She's making herself sick.
Afraid you won't get
to Toulouse in time?
Yes.
What happened earlier was normal.
We're at the center for a reason.
That's why they lock us in.
We're a bit different, see?
Amelie, let me in.
Come on.
Go away!
I'm sorry, OK.
You're a jerk.
Go home to your fatso family!
I need to pee.
Amelie?
Heard of Buzz Aldrin?
I don't give a fuck!
You haven't?
Apollo 11?
The first moon landing?
Neil Armstrong?
I bet you know him.
The first man to walk on the moon.
Buzz Aldrin was the second.
He did a crazy thing up there.
Imagine...
the first moon landing.
It's barren, gray.
Buzz Aldrin was bummed.
He was stuck in the module, Armstrong was walking on the moon.
But that was the flight plan.
He had to wait 20 seconds.
As he's second, no one will remember him.
See?
So...
he thinks, "What can I do
"while he's living his dream
and I'm stuck in here?"
Do you know what he did?
What?
The guy
was balancing,
one leg inside,
one on the ladder.
He did something
no one had ever done before.
He peed in his urine pouch.
Imagine that.
He wasn't the first man on the moon
but he was the first to pee on it!
It's wild.
Cool.
So basically my catheter's gross
but Buzz Aldrin is stylin'?
You'll always be gross!
Here you go.
That'll be 55 euros, please.
Am I the only one with cash?
Pains in the ass.
Thank you.
OK, thanks.
Excuse me!
You have to pay the deposit.
The room has been damaged.
- It's 300 euros.
- 300?
What's been damaged?
If it's the radiator,
it was making an odd noise anyway.
We couldn't find you to tell you.
I'm telling you, Muriel,
it isn't personal
but the service is substandard.
It isn't just the radiator,
there's the phone.
Yes, the phone...
It was broken.
It was working fine yesterday.
It wasn't.
That's why we couldn't call you.
That's right.
And I must say I found it worrying.
What if there's a fire?
Yeah, imagine there's a fire.
I mean, I'm sorry
but I can't go down a fire escape.
I depend on you,
and if I can't reach you...
It isn't normal.
I'll speak to my manager.
You do that.
- Fuck!
- I don't have 300 euros.
Me neither.
How about you?
Seeing as you broke the radiator.
- I didn't do anything.
- Sure you didn't!
Who's gonna pay?
We don't have 300 euros.
I don't either.
- What are you doing?
- Hang on.
- Come here!
- Fuck!
Come here!
You're a wheelchair delinquent!
Shut up.
What are you doing?
Seeing if your office
meets requirements.
- What?
- See this? I can't get through.
I belong to an association,
and what we do
is check the facilities..
You OK?
- Are you hurt?
- ...designed for the disabled.
I'm stuck now.
- Excuse me.
- No. Be careful.
- I do this often.
- We carry out checks all over.
You can't imagine...
Mind that.
the number of violations there are.
Be careful.
I don't intend to report you
but if you get a more difficult guest...
you'll pay thousands in compensation.
She's gonna cry all day.
How come you can't drive?
I can. I'm still learning.
An astronaut who can't drive!
We'll be at the cave in an hour.
We'll drop Justine there.
What about you?
Toulouse is perfect.
Put your cig out.
It's going in Justine's face.
What?
- Your cig.
- What's that?
Put your cig out!
Stop!
It's beautiful.
It isn't exactly cozy
but it isn't bad for a cave.
We'll be’off then.
OK.
Bye.
- Coming?
- In a minute.
You can stay if you want.
There are no waves here.
No wifi, no cancer, no disease.
Who had cancer?
My little brother.
When Dad put in wifi at home.
It isn't just me, you know.
Really?
No. It's called electrosensitivity.
It's peaceful.
Lois! Move your fat ass
or I'll sign up without you.
Right.
Bye.
Let's get out of here.
Wait for me!
- There she is.
- See you!
Hey, stop!
Wait for me.
It isn't funny.
Toulouse!
How many can go
on your zero-G flight?
Two, tops!
Your turn.
I want to film the journey.
We'll see the take-off,
the clouds,
the stars,
like we're really there.
Your turn.
I want to fly away in it.
Fuck other people!
You're great as you are.
That's easy for you to say.
You're like a size-zero model.
You weigh nothing, girl!
You think I want to look
like some dumbass model?
My ass and breasts disgust me.
You think I like
my big ass and breasts?
Or the stretch marks on my body?
You two can't be serious!
Look at me for a second.
Talking about fat butts
and tiny butts!
When did you last see mine?
No one sees mine,
no one's looked at it in years.
We can swap if you like.
I'd happily have your fat ass
or your tiny ass.
Want my pressure relief cushion?
You jerk!
I'm keeping my ass.
I don't want yours anyways.
I prefer Lois's.
I hate you.
And you, Justine,
which do you prefer?
The flat ass or the big booty?
I'm not sure.
But...
I've been thinking and...
I figure the zero-G flight
might rid me of my OCD.
I can't help it!
Here.
We have something for you, Justine.
It's a gift.
Here.
An anti-electromagnetic wave helmet.
I saw it on TV.
They said it was like
a shield that stops waves
within a 3-meter radius.
- That's it, huh?
- It's a cover like those
you get on satellites.
It works.
It works!
Hey girls, this is it.
Cherry boy territory!
So the CanSat has a greater mass.
I'm going to work at NOMAC.
I've been working a bit
to earn money
so my folks don't have to...
The fact is,
a supporting structure
isn't a better idea.
The CanSat was at this level,
so it really tilted.
\Ne managed though...
How high does that go?
You mean..., the altitude?
Yeah, obviously.
1,500 meters, with the drag.
Fuck, did you hear that?
It only reaches 1,500 meters.
We'll crush them!
Hello.
The equipment you require...
A balloon and some helium.
You’ll need to do a pre-selection oral.
Fucking hell!
Quit it.
So... tomorrow at 10:15 AM
you present your project
in front of the jury.
The balloon probe is great
but the syringe system
isn't going to cut it.
We need to think bigger and better.
- Need something for your gears?
- Yeah.
- That lot have loads.
Go ask them.
-I checked.
- It has to fit in the base.
Give me the dimensions.
OK, I get the picture...
I have to go back to the store.
Another 2 hours wasted!
Just get up.
- What for?
- There's no need to go the store.
There is. I don't have any.
Put your head down.
Do this.
Er... what now?
Go back.
Go on.
Excuse me.
Do you have a spare gearwheel?
Thanks.
Thanks who?
Thanks, Stannah.
They're so predictable.
This must've taken ages to learn.
I have loads of time.
I don't have internet or TV.
So...
It's wild. I couldn't do this
with a needle and thread.
Me neither.
You need fabric too!
Hi girls.
Hey.
I'm reminding you all
what time your oral is.
What’s your project number?
I don't know.
Me neither.
You're an all-girl group, right?
OK. You're the only one.
We'd noticed!
So you're...
Lois, right?
No.
OK, then you must be Sarah?
That's right.
OK, Sarah.
I actually knew that.
You did?
What if I try to guess your name?
- Don't say anything, OK?
- I won't.
I'd say you look like...
a Joachim.
Yeah, but that's easy.
I didn't see your badge.
If I take this off...
you don't know my name.
I'd better put it back on.
Right, so your time tomorrow...
I just have to find it.
It's OK, we know the time. 10:15.
Right, well, work hard.
Bye.
Where are you going?
- Fuck!
-Wait.
Hang on.
- Fucking hell!
- Wait.
Hang on, it's stuck. Stop!
Stop.
Fuck.
Why isn't it working?
Shit!
Maybe the battery's dead?
God, I'm dumb!
I didn't think of that.
At this hour...
it isn't easy to think.
This is exactly like Martian soil.
Exactly?
So...
what's your syringe for?
Are you measuring particles?
It isn't for particles.
It's an air collector I'm testing.
That's cool.
What's your project then?
I'm doing terraforming.
Basically, we send up a CanSat.
When it lands, it extends...
a rod that makes a hole
in the ground and...
plants a seed.
That's brilliant.
Your probe looks great.
Is this your first competition?
Have you done others?
This is my sixth.
Last time I was in the top 15.
Right.
Which prep class will you do?
I'm aiming for SUPAERO Toulouse.
I'd love to be a flight director here.
What do you want to do?
I don't know.
Should I have measured particles?
What?
Should I have measured cosmic rays
with my probe?
I was just saying that.
What are you up to?
- Sorry.
- I couldn't find you.
I'd better get back to work.
Good luck.
Thanks.
Who was that guy?
What were you talking about?
Mind your own business.
What are you doing?
This air collector sucks!
It's too simple.
We need to measure cosmic rays.
I'm chucking all this.
The Geiger counter is bulky.
What counter?
We don't have one.
We'll ask for one.
Our probe is fine as it is!
- Stop! You'll ruin it.
- What about our air thing?
It's crap!
- It is?
- Yeah.
I liked it.
It sucks!
What did that guy say?
Who?
Drop it!
Do you even know
what a Geiger counter is?
No!
Or a cosmic ray either.
So there!
Not my camera.
It's fucking mine!
Hands off.
- It's mine!
- Let go!
It's my probe, you ball-breaker!
Why don't we ask her
where her counter would go?
So you'd put your counter here?
All right.
This is the parachute.
How cute! It's embroidered.
Hang on, I'm protecting myself!
Nice helmet!
Don't forget your gears.
Not as cute as her.
Which channel was it on?
Was what on?
The report on the helmet
that stops waves.
How did it work?
I don't really remember.
But I'm not sure...
I don't think I saw it on TV.
It must've been on the net.
Your probe is really pretty good.
It's well designed too.
Using an iPhone
as a transponder is clever.
But...
as for the experiment
in your gondola...
we think it's rather dull.
You should've come up
with something more creative like...
measuring pressure and altitude.
Or the volumetric mass of air.
I had an air collector system
with syringes at first.
- There you go!
- That was a great idea.
It's a shame.
You'd have passed easily.
Why did you change?
I don't know.
Don’t worry,
you can try again next year.
Thank you.
Goodbye.
You lied to me.
It's a skate helmet.
Why did you bring me here?
No one forced you to come.
Well?
It's screwed.
Fuck!
Fuck.
We should've gone with the first idea.
I fucking told you so.
I can't stay here.
What now?
Get lost then!
Don't talk to her like that.
What did she imagine?
A cave or a helmet
would stop her getting sick?
Magic doesn't exist!
Don't talk to her like that!
I'm sorry, OK?
What are you doing?
Stop it! We can launch it.
Fucking stop it!
I'll never go into space anyways.
Don't talk shit.
You don't know that!
I do! Look at me.
I am. What?
Look at them then.
I don't see any difference.
Can't you see I'm fat?
I'll never go into space.
Don't give me a hard time.
Some zero-G flight
won't change our shitty lives.
What are you doing?
Amelie, what are you doing?
Remember the probe?
We made it together.
Remember that?
You might not remember
but we put my camera in it.
We put her photo in it too.
And her poem.
Well, I'm gonna launch it.
We made it,
and I'm gonna launch it.
I don't care if you don't want to.
Destroy that if you like.
I don't give a shit!
Because we're launching this, OK?
We're gonna launch it into space!
That's what's happening.
End of story!
She's woken up.
Not eating?
No. I'm not hungry.
How about something else?
Not even a Chocsy-Choco-Crepe?
Hard to say, easy to eat!
I'm gonna prove
Check this out.
Crazy, huh?
Jean-Luc.
What?
Wasn't your Guiana spiel enough?
Hey, I apologized.
How about to the other parents?
It's my fault you're like that.
All I've given you
is my fat-ass body.
Give it a break.
I love your fat-ass body.
You love this?
Sure.
You love it?
And this?
And this?
You think your girls are happy?
Like themselves?
You don't see it, Jean-Luc.
- I don't?
- No.
I don't see it?
Whose fault do you think this is?
I'm sick of you not loving yourself!
Maybe if you did
she wouldn't want to go into space.
Listen when I say you're beautiful.
That you're gorgeous.
You know I'm crazy
about exploring your body.
Your body is...
I love hurtling down its slopes.
Your body is a big sand dune.
Don't you see?
I snuggle up
and roll around in you.
I come, I go, I climb it,
descend it, scale it, hurtle down it.
I'm content, hot, cold...
It smells of spray.
I love it!
Don't you get that?
Look, I love your big arms,
big breasts, big belly
and big ass, Jocelyne!
Got that?
Sorry, folks.
Enjoy your meal.
Do you hear me?
Do you hear when I talk to you?
Do you hear me?
I think you're beautiful.
Do you hear when I love you?
Yes.
You're beautiful.
Hello. How can I help you?
A balloon probe
and a bottle of helium, please.
Are you a contestant?
Yes, er, no, not anymore.
The reception area for contestants
is in the grounds, outside.
Yes, I know but...
I'm out of the contest
and I need to launch my probe.
That's why I'd like to have
a balloon and some helium.
What I suggest is,
you make an official request.
You fill in a form,
send it to Planet Science
and you'll receive your balloon.
But I want it now.
Those are the rules, young lady.
Goodbye.
- Excuse me.
- I'm not moving.
What are you doing, young lady?
I won't move till I get my balloon
and helium.
If you don't move,
I'll have to call security.
I won't move till I get my balloon
and helium.
You're staying put?
You're sure?
I'll call security then.
Very well.
Take her arms.
On Jupiter, the force of gravity is
24.7 meters per second squared.
Or 2.5 times that of Earth.
So on Jupiter, I weigh 250 kilos.
I am Jupiter, I weigh 250 kilos.
Hello, Lois.
This is the command center.
Recognize him?
He's doing an experiment on fluids.
Is this live?
It sure is!
We communicate regularly.
It's awesome.
You're interested now, eh?
Still want your balloon?
Yes.
Hang on tight, girls!
Lois, they're coming!
We launch it at zero, OK?
See ya!
Bon voyage!
Hey, space!
For 20 seconds,
it's like you're in space.
You're weightless.
You don't feel your weight.
You don't feel your body.
Hi, biatch!
I'm writing you from the dorks center.
I'm stuck here for now.
We're gonna talk about my leaving,
but they're taking me for a ride.
There's a guy who's been here 3 years.
They've put me on my own
for busting my roommate's balls.
But I'm easy to get along with,
so I don't see why.
I think of you lot sometimes
and I miss you.
You, obviously,
but even those other two dorks.
By the way,
Stairlift Stannah wrote me.
She's got herself a guy,
who's into Untouchable too.
Enjoy your cherry boys' class
and don't forget me,
or I'll kill you when I get out.
In my cherry boys' class,
I'm gonna write you.
Make sure you get out soon,
so we can meet up, OK?
There's a surprise in the envelope.
I bet you've guessed what it is.
I miss you all too.
It's kinda like gravity in physics.
When objects attract each other.
The force acts at a distance.
The objects are affected
without being touched.
There's a really strong inner pressure.
PURE AIR
And it traces their path forever.
And you'll see,
at an altitude of 45 km,
everything is clearer.
At an altitude of 45 km,
you can see how beautiful Earth is.
Subtitles: hvq
super big.
Our solar system alone
is 9.09 billion kilometers.
And the planets in it
aren't all the same size.
For instance, the biggest is Jupiter.
But no one bothers big, old Jupiter.
There's tons of space in the universe.
It's totally obese though.
It would take 1,321 Earth-sized bodies
to fill up the volume of Jupiter.
The inhabitants of Jupiter
are Jovians.
Their problem is room.
Coming through!
Jovians love Earthlings' food so much
that their bodies store it all.
That's why they're this shape.
Earthlings shack up
with Jovians sometimes.
That's what's called not seeing shit!
I'm Lois, like Superman's girlfriend.
He isn't an Earthling either.
Come eat!
No thanks!
Next to Jupiter,
his planet Krypton
is like a luxury hotel.
COMPETITION
WIN A ZERO-G FLIGHT
On Jupiter,
all specular reflection is banned.
That's when an object appears
in a reflective surface
and reflects the exact same light
to the observer.
The only thing worth remembering is...
life on Jupiter basically
isn't an option.
STARS BY THE POUND
I was a student here 10 years ago
and I had your teacher.
Proof it’ll get you somewhere!
For sure! It certainly did me.
I'm now an engineer at the CNES,
the National Center for Space Studies.
Our job is to plan space missions.
We not only send machines
but spacecraft with astronauts
inside them too.
Lois, let me introduce you to Mathieu.
Hello, Lois.
Hello.
Lois is my best student.
She's passionate, hard-working...
A bit reserved too.
She's entering
the CNES junior competition.
Could you take a look at her project?
- Sure, no problem.
- Show him.
- Do you have it here?
- She's really into it.
The aim of my project
is to collect air in space.
OK, all right.
I figure I need a helium balloon probe
to reach the stratosphere.
All right.
In the gondola,
I’ve created a syringe system
to collect the air.
I've added a GPS unit too
to locate it when it comes back.
All right.
- The transponder is the GPS?
- That's right.
OK.
It's pretty good.
Not bad, huh?
Do you think I can win with this?
I really couldn't say.
There are going to be
all sorts of different projects.
But what I can say is,
yours is really, really good.
I can see you've worked hard
and you know your stuff.
Thank you.
The thing is...
Just so that you...
It's an opportunity to realize
you don't need to go into space
to discover the universe.
The thing is...
I've discussed this with Mathieu.
How many spacemen did the European
Space Agency select last year?
Six.
- Out of 8,400 applicants...
- 8,420 applicants.
8,420.
Yes. They were really...
sporty, like top athletes.
You have to be..
Physically, it's...
Not everyone can be an astronaut.
You see?
I was thinking the other day...
Stephen Hawking...
Everyone's heard of him.
He's handicapped
but he's taught us much more
than Neil Armstrong, say.
- Sure.
- Ever thought about that?
Mathieu... it's the same thing.
Planning space missions is fascinating.
No, er, yes, sorry.
That's right, it's fascinating.
In any case, if you like space..
It's great he's here,
you two can talk about it.
- Did you do a prep class?
- Yes. There are loads.
You'll have to choose
so it'd be good to chat
about which direction to take.
I don't need you!
I've chosen my prep class.
All right.
What's wrong?
Hang on, I've got something
that'll make you feel better.
I brought...
It isn't much.
Just a small gift.
It's a parachute for your probe.
- Awesome!
- The literature...
Are you OK?
Lois!
90/60.
The school nurse says
it's the 3rd time in a month.
If you don't eat,
you'll damage your body.
You'll be sick,
you'll keep fainting.
- I'm not sick.
- Sure!
I'm not sick, I don't faint.
If you don't eat,
there'll be no competition in Toulouse.
Leave this to me.
What's this?
You have to stop, Lois.
You can't have what you want.
Just look.
Go on.
When I was 20,
I had a gastric ring fitted.
It didn't work.
So for my 25th birthday,
I had a gastrectomy.
Do you know what that is, Lois?
Look at me.
It's when this is removed.
Then I had a bypass.
I almost died.
Your dad saved me.
Don't make the same mistakes as me.
Dad and I are here.
Hello, my girl.
Hello, honey. How are you?
We're here, sweetie.
Hello.
Easy.
Stay still, sweetie.
Be calm.
Where are we?
At the hospital.
You gave us such a scare.
Just stay in bed, honey.
No! I have to go to Toulouse.
You almost died, Lois.
Why did you have kids with a fatso?
I'll wait outside.
I wanna go to the competition.
Are you gonna take me?
What's got into you?
This isn't like you, honey.
It isn't like you at all.
Upsetting your mom,
hurting yourself. What is this?
We're your parents.
You can't speak to us like that!
Honey...
Come on, Lois.
I'll go see Mom.
Get some rest.
You OK?
Parents are meant to take a hit.
Or what's the point?
Do you have a tissue?
Use the sheet.
They'll get changed.
No way.
- That's gross.
- You're gross, Stannah.
- How long have I been here?
- I don't work here!
You got here
the day before yesterday.
They thought you were dead.
I knew you weren't.
Know why?
I've already seen a corpse.
When you die,
the blood rushes down.
So you look like a popsicle.
Blueberry and vanilla.
Get the picture?
Ending up like a popsicle sucks.
Would you like to see that?
We could try it out here.
Breathe out slowly.
All the way.
Now breathe normally.
I see what you're trying to do,
but it isn't that simple.
Some folk are tall, others short.
Same with weight.
It's a question of metabolism.
One thing's for certain,
stopping eating is pointless.
In fact,
you should start eating again.
That way, we can remove
your feeding tube.
Sound good?
What do you think?
POLYSTYRENE SHEETS
SURVIVAL BLANKET
Hurry up,
I have to take you back.
Other girls are waiting.
You've got 2 minutes.
They're watching us.
They're scared we'll puke our guts out.
You eating the ceiling?
Feeling peckish?
I need a favor.
I got my camera back.
But the nurses are on to me.
You gotta hide it.
I don't give a shit.
- You don't?
- Give me a break.
You're so fucking mean.
They don't know you.
What d'you want? Smokes?
Booze?
I want to go into space.
Can you fix that?
No.
No one can.
I know a way.
We jack a few bags
of Jerome's white powder.
You'll be in space in no time!
Don't talk crap.
I'm opening the door now.
Unbelievable!
- Give us some privacy.
- Come out.
- It's been an hour!
- I'm really constipated.
Open this door. Now.
You're 19
and you're acting like you're 5.
Come out now!
Sure, come on in.
You gonna wipe me too?
Stand on here.
I'm no pro but it's kinda like this.
What you doing, dancing?
What?
How is it then?
Oh yeah, hang on,
on the moon, they do this.
That isn't it!
You're not even trying.
Show me.
- I bet you know.
- No way.
This isn't space.
You suck!
When you see me in the video,
you're gonna regret it.
Everyone'll think I was in space.
How do astronauts move on the moon?
There's less gravity for starters.
Because it's the moon...
it's easier.
I dunno...
like this.
Go on, I'll follow you.
Next.
I said no.
Next.
I don't want you to push me!
Suit yourself.
About fucking time.
I hate her damn lapdog.
Is Stannah her first name?
No! Stannah's a stairlift brand.
That thing for oldies.
It's me who came up with it.
Cool, huh?
She took to it right away.
Why did it hurt less when I didn't eat?
When you don't eat,
your body makes hormones
so you don't feel tired and stuff.
Hormones are like drugs, girl.
They make you high.
Check this out.
Please stop, it hurts.
- Ah, that's better!
- It hurts.
It stinks.
Tell me again about
what we'll win at that competition.
The zero-G flight.
Sure you want to go?
What about your folks?
I don't give a crap.
They're assholes.
They don't even come visit anymore.
It suits me fine.
I don't wanna see them either.
Come on,
tell me about this zero-G.
You're on a plane,
and it goes really high.
You're inside,
and when it drops,
you drop too.
For 20 seconds,
it's like you're in space.
You're weightless.
For 20 seconds,
you don't feel your weight,
you don't feel your body.
Wicked.
But how high is 45-km altitude?
It's the beginning of space.
Only spacemen go up there.
How will we sneak out?
That's super easy.
It's the rest that'll be tough.
Even so though.
You watch too many movies.
Everyone's here voluntarily.
Really?
No one asked me about it.
There are emergency cases too.
What about you?
I did it for my folks.
Have you already run away then?
Not from here
but from other centers.
Fuck! That bitch is at it again.
It wasn't me.
You're a pain!
To work out
which color will enhance you,
you have to know one thing...
your skin's undertones.
In other words,
we're going to see which colors
make you look beautiful.
So when would we go?
Wearing colors that suit you...
Toulouse is an 8-hour drive.
So if we leave tomorrow,
we'll be there in two days.
The simplest way is
to look at the veins on your wrists.
If they're green,
you have a warm skin tone.
If they're blue,
you have a cold skin tone.
If they're not blue or green,
you have a neutral skin tone.
Your skin's undertones...
We want to come with you.
We ain't taking that baggage.
It isn't out of your way.
We drop Justine in the Limousin.
I just want out.
- What the fuck's she gonna do there?
- Live in a cave.
With no electromagnetic waves...
Right, girls...
could you please stop talking?
This could actually be useful.
But, miss,
I was just explaining to her
about the tone's underskins.
- The skin's undertones.
- Precisely.
She gets it now.
Don't you?
She does.
Right, colors...
They give you energy
and a real radiance...
- I just want out of here.
- Dream on!
We're going to do an exercise.
I have a clothes rack...
- We have a competition.
- Who gives a crap?
Find another babysitter!
I can take care of Justine.
We just want to go with you.
Give me a break!
- What's the problem?
- We don't want you.
- Stop busting my balls!
- What's the problem?
Quiet. Right...
- Damn! What's going on?
- It wasn't me.
What's going on?
Will this convince you?
- It doesn't work.
- Hang on.
Why doesn't it work?
The pass doesn't work.
- Stannah, it doesn't work.
- Just a second.
What the fuck is this?
Your canteen pass?
You've fucking screwed us!
No way! I stole it, OK?
I don't know what's wrong.
You're such a jerk.
Let's go.
We'll try tomorrow, OK?
No. We've gotta leave tonight.
- We leave tomorrow.
- No!
We won't get there in time.
- Fucking come on!
- We've gotta open this door.
- Drop it, Lois.
- No fucking way!
I want out!
I'm going to the competition.
I wanna go to the competition!
What the fuck?
- What are you doing?
- I wanna get out.
You're nuts.
Get a move on.
Justine, hurry!
Hurry the fuck up!
Shut up!
I'm gonna kill you!
Folks don't even feel sorry
for the disabled.
You're useless!
And you're a sorry sight.
Fucking weirdo!
I should've told you
to go back to your room.
-Why didn’t I?
- We'd be fine without you.
Now we're on a shitty road
with a fucking dumbass!
That's fucking all!
We’re just...
Thanks a lot.
The train was too expensive.
Yeah, the train's a rip-off.
Your funeral is in Toulouse, huh?
That's right, Toulouse.
Could we stop here first?
- What the fuck's this?
- My cave.
Not going to the funeral?
Yes. We all are.
Don't touch that.
- You OK in the back?
- Justine, stop.
Are you OK?
Fine.
Stop that.
Whose funeral is it?
- My grandma's.
- A friend's.
A friend's grandma's.
Where d'you meet?
We're at college.
Studying what?
Psych.
I'm not going to Toulouse.
I'll drop you somewhere.
I'll be right back.
How are you?
Is everything OK?
Yes, fine.
Dad, you've got to take me to Toulouse
for the competition.
It's in two days. Please.
OK. But where are you?
Who are you with?
The other girls from the center.
We're in a hotel somewhere.
See if there's a brochure.
It'll say at the bottom
the name of the town or...
The other girls are a bit crazy.
I want to apologize
for what I said to Mom.
I need to know where you are
so we can come get you.
The police are here...
Hang on!
- The police are here. It's a mess.
- The police?
Actually, forget it.
I can manage. It's OK.
- Don't tell Mom.
- She wants a word.
No. I'm going to the competition.
OK, but don't hang up.
Talk to me.
Bitch!
Get lost, fatso.
Jean-Luc?
- What?
- Let's go.
- Where?
- Toulouse!
Why go to Toulouse?
- It's pointless.
- What?
- It's pointless to go to Toulouse.
-Why?
- Because she isn't there.
- What?
Because she isn't there.
Where is she?
She's on the way to Guiana.
She wants to go in a rocket so she's...
Don't worry,
I'll call the airports.
Why aren't you in bed?
Why isn't she in bed?
It's 1 AM and she's still up.
Of course!
Amelie's locked herself in the bathroom.
She's making herself sick.
Afraid you won't get
to Toulouse in time?
Yes.
What happened earlier was normal.
We're at the center for a reason.
That's why they lock us in.
We're a bit different, see?
Amelie, let me in.
Come on.
Go away!
I'm sorry, OK.
You're a jerk.
Go home to your fatso family!
I need to pee.
Amelie?
Heard of Buzz Aldrin?
I don't give a fuck!
You haven't?
Apollo 11?
The first moon landing?
Neil Armstrong?
I bet you know him.
The first man to walk on the moon.
Buzz Aldrin was the second.
He did a crazy thing up there.
Imagine...
the first moon landing.
It's barren, gray.
Buzz Aldrin was bummed.
He was stuck in the module, Armstrong was walking on the moon.
But that was the flight plan.
He had to wait 20 seconds.
As he's second, no one will remember him.
See?
So...
he thinks, "What can I do
"while he's living his dream
and I'm stuck in here?"
Do you know what he did?
What?
The guy
was balancing,
one leg inside,
one on the ladder.
He did something
no one had ever done before.
He peed in his urine pouch.
Imagine that.
He wasn't the first man on the moon
but he was the first to pee on it!
It's wild.
Cool.
So basically my catheter's gross
but Buzz Aldrin is stylin'?
You'll always be gross!
Here you go.
That'll be 55 euros, please.
Am I the only one with cash?
Pains in the ass.
Thank you.
OK, thanks.
Excuse me!
You have to pay the deposit.
The room has been damaged.
- It's 300 euros.
- 300?
What's been damaged?
If it's the radiator,
it was making an odd noise anyway.
We couldn't find you to tell you.
I'm telling you, Muriel,
it isn't personal
but the service is substandard.
It isn't just the radiator,
there's the phone.
Yes, the phone...
It was broken.
It was working fine yesterday.
It wasn't.
That's why we couldn't call you.
That's right.
And I must say I found it worrying.
What if there's a fire?
Yeah, imagine there's a fire.
I mean, I'm sorry
but I can't go down a fire escape.
I depend on you,
and if I can't reach you...
It isn't normal.
I'll speak to my manager.
You do that.
- Fuck!
- I don't have 300 euros.
Me neither.
How about you?
Seeing as you broke the radiator.
- I didn't do anything.
- Sure you didn't!
Who's gonna pay?
We don't have 300 euros.
I don't either.
- What are you doing?
- Hang on.
- Come here!
- Fuck!
Come here!
You're a wheelchair delinquent!
Shut up.
What are you doing?
Seeing if your office
meets requirements.
- What?
- See this? I can't get through.
I belong to an association,
and what we do
is check the facilities..
You OK?
- Are you hurt?
- ...designed for the disabled.
I'm stuck now.
- Excuse me.
- No. Be careful.
- I do this often.
- We carry out checks all over.
You can't imagine...
Mind that.
the number of violations there are.
Be careful.
I don't intend to report you
but if you get a more difficult guest...
you'll pay thousands in compensation.
She's gonna cry all day.
How come you can't drive?
I can. I'm still learning.
An astronaut who can't drive!
We'll be at the cave in an hour.
We'll drop Justine there.
What about you?
Toulouse is perfect.
Put your cig out.
It's going in Justine's face.
What?
- Your cig.
- What's that?
Put your cig out!
Stop!
It's beautiful.
It isn't exactly cozy
but it isn't bad for a cave.
We'll be’off then.
OK.
Bye.
- Coming?
- In a minute.
You can stay if you want.
There are no waves here.
No wifi, no cancer, no disease.
Who had cancer?
My little brother.
When Dad put in wifi at home.
It isn't just me, you know.
Really?
No. It's called electrosensitivity.
It's peaceful.
Lois! Move your fat ass
or I'll sign up without you.
Right.
Bye.
Let's get out of here.
Wait for me!
- There she is.
- See you!
Hey, stop!
Wait for me.
It isn't funny.
Toulouse!
How many can go
on your zero-G flight?
Two, tops!
Your turn.
I want to film the journey.
We'll see the take-off,
the clouds,
the stars,
like we're really there.
Your turn.
I want to fly away in it.
Fuck other people!
You're great as you are.
That's easy for you to say.
You're like a size-zero model.
You weigh nothing, girl!
You think I want to look
like some dumbass model?
My ass and breasts disgust me.
You think I like
my big ass and breasts?
Or the stretch marks on my body?
You two can't be serious!
Look at me for a second.
Talking about fat butts
and tiny butts!
When did you last see mine?
No one sees mine,
no one's looked at it in years.
We can swap if you like.
I'd happily have your fat ass
or your tiny ass.
Want my pressure relief cushion?
You jerk!
I'm keeping my ass.
I don't want yours anyways.
I prefer Lois's.
I hate you.
And you, Justine,
which do you prefer?
The flat ass or the big booty?
I'm not sure.
But...
I've been thinking and...
I figure the zero-G flight
might rid me of my OCD.
I can't help it!
Here.
We have something for you, Justine.
It's a gift.
Here.
An anti-electromagnetic wave helmet.
I saw it on TV.
They said it was like
a shield that stops waves
within a 3-meter radius.
- That's it, huh?
- It's a cover like those
you get on satellites.
It works.
It works!
Hey girls, this is it.
Cherry boy territory!
So the CanSat has a greater mass.
I'm going to work at NOMAC.
I've been working a bit
to earn money
so my folks don't have to...
The fact is,
a supporting structure
isn't a better idea.
The CanSat was at this level,
so it really tilted.
\Ne managed though...
How high does that go?
You mean..., the altitude?
Yeah, obviously.
1,500 meters, with the drag.
Fuck, did you hear that?
It only reaches 1,500 meters.
We'll crush them!
Hello.
The equipment you require...
A balloon and some helium.
You’ll need to do a pre-selection oral.
Fucking hell!
Quit it.
So... tomorrow at 10:15 AM
you present your project
in front of the jury.
The balloon probe is great
but the syringe system
isn't going to cut it.
We need to think bigger and better.
- Need something for your gears?
- Yeah.
- That lot have loads.
Go ask them.
-I checked.
- It has to fit in the base.
Give me the dimensions.
OK, I get the picture...
I have to go back to the store.
Another 2 hours wasted!
Just get up.
- What for?
- There's no need to go the store.
There is. I don't have any.
Put your head down.
Do this.
Er... what now?
Go back.
Go on.
Excuse me.
Do you have a spare gearwheel?
Thanks.
Thanks who?
Thanks, Stannah.
They're so predictable.
This must've taken ages to learn.
I have loads of time.
I don't have internet or TV.
So...
It's wild. I couldn't do this
with a needle and thread.
Me neither.
You need fabric too!
Hi girls.
Hey.
I'm reminding you all
what time your oral is.
What’s your project number?
I don't know.
Me neither.
You're an all-girl group, right?
OK. You're the only one.
We'd noticed!
So you're...
Lois, right?
No.
OK, then you must be Sarah?
That's right.
OK, Sarah.
I actually knew that.
You did?
What if I try to guess your name?
- Don't say anything, OK?
- I won't.
I'd say you look like...
a Joachim.
Yeah, but that's easy.
I didn't see your badge.
If I take this off...
you don't know my name.
I'd better put it back on.
Right, so your time tomorrow...
I just have to find it.
It's OK, we know the time. 10:15.
Right, well, work hard.
Bye.
Where are you going?
- Fuck!
-Wait.
Hang on.
- Fucking hell!
- Wait.
Hang on, it's stuck. Stop!
Stop.
Fuck.
Why isn't it working?
Shit!
Maybe the battery's dead?
God, I'm dumb!
I didn't think of that.
At this hour...
it isn't easy to think.
This is exactly like Martian soil.
Exactly?
So...
what's your syringe for?
Are you measuring particles?
It isn't for particles.
It's an air collector I'm testing.
That's cool.
What's your project then?
I'm doing terraforming.
Basically, we send up a CanSat.
When it lands, it extends...
a rod that makes a hole
in the ground and...
plants a seed.
That's brilliant.
Your probe looks great.
Is this your first competition?
Have you done others?
This is my sixth.
Last time I was in the top 15.
Right.
Which prep class will you do?
I'm aiming for SUPAERO Toulouse.
I'd love to be a flight director here.
What do you want to do?
I don't know.
Should I have measured particles?
What?
Should I have measured cosmic rays
with my probe?
I was just saying that.
What are you up to?
- Sorry.
- I couldn't find you.
I'd better get back to work.
Good luck.
Thanks.
Who was that guy?
What were you talking about?
Mind your own business.
What are you doing?
This air collector sucks!
It's too simple.
We need to measure cosmic rays.
I'm chucking all this.
The Geiger counter is bulky.
What counter?
We don't have one.
We'll ask for one.
Our probe is fine as it is!
- Stop! You'll ruin it.
- What about our air thing?
It's crap!
- It is?
- Yeah.
I liked it.
It sucks!
What did that guy say?
Who?
Drop it!
Do you even know
what a Geiger counter is?
No!
Or a cosmic ray either.
So there!
Not my camera.
It's fucking mine!
Hands off.
- It's mine!
- Let go!
It's my probe, you ball-breaker!
Why don't we ask her
where her counter would go?
So you'd put your counter here?
All right.
This is the parachute.
How cute! It's embroidered.
Hang on, I'm protecting myself!
Nice helmet!
Don't forget your gears.
Not as cute as her.
Which channel was it on?
Was what on?
The report on the helmet
that stops waves.
How did it work?
I don't really remember.
But I'm not sure...
I don't think I saw it on TV.
It must've been on the net.
Your probe is really pretty good.
It's well designed too.
Using an iPhone
as a transponder is clever.
But...
as for the experiment
in your gondola...
we think it's rather dull.
You should've come up
with something more creative like...
measuring pressure and altitude.
Or the volumetric mass of air.
I had an air collector system
with syringes at first.
- There you go!
- That was a great idea.
It's a shame.
You'd have passed easily.
Why did you change?
I don't know.
Don’t worry,
you can try again next year.
Thank you.
Goodbye.
You lied to me.
It's a skate helmet.
Why did you bring me here?
No one forced you to come.
Well?
It's screwed.
Fuck!
Fuck.
We should've gone with the first idea.
I fucking told you so.
I can't stay here.
What now?
Get lost then!
Don't talk to her like that.
What did she imagine?
A cave or a helmet
would stop her getting sick?
Magic doesn't exist!
Don't talk to her like that!
I'm sorry, OK?
What are you doing?
Stop it! We can launch it.
Fucking stop it!
I'll never go into space anyways.
Don't talk shit.
You don't know that!
I do! Look at me.
I am. What?
Look at them then.
I don't see any difference.
Can't you see I'm fat?
I'll never go into space.
Don't give me a hard time.
Some zero-G flight
won't change our shitty lives.
What are you doing?
Amelie, what are you doing?
Remember the probe?
We made it together.
Remember that?
You might not remember
but we put my camera in it.
We put her photo in it too.
And her poem.
Well, I'm gonna launch it.
We made it,
and I'm gonna launch it.
I don't care if you don't want to.
Destroy that if you like.
I don't give a shit!
Because we're launching this, OK?
We're gonna launch it into space!
That's what's happening.
End of story!
She's woken up.
Not eating?
No. I'm not hungry.
How about something else?
Not even a Chocsy-Choco-Crepe?
Hard to say, easy to eat!
I'm gonna prove
Check this out.
Crazy, huh?
Jean-Luc.
What?
Wasn't your Guiana spiel enough?
Hey, I apologized.
How about to the other parents?
It's my fault you're like that.
All I've given you
is my fat-ass body.
Give it a break.
I love your fat-ass body.
You love this?
Sure.
You love it?
And this?
And this?
You think your girls are happy?
Like themselves?
You don't see it, Jean-Luc.
- I don't?
- No.
I don't see it?
Whose fault do you think this is?
I'm sick of you not loving yourself!
Maybe if you did
she wouldn't want to go into space.
Listen when I say you're beautiful.
That you're gorgeous.
You know I'm crazy
about exploring your body.
Your body is...
I love hurtling down its slopes.
Your body is a big sand dune.
Don't you see?
I snuggle up
and roll around in you.
I come, I go, I climb it,
descend it, scale it, hurtle down it.
I'm content, hot, cold...
It smells of spray.
I love it!
Don't you get that?
Look, I love your big arms,
big breasts, big belly
and big ass, Jocelyne!
Got that?
Sorry, folks.
Enjoy your meal.
Do you hear me?
Do you hear when I talk to you?
Do you hear me?
I think you're beautiful.
Do you hear when I love you?
Yes.
You're beautiful.
Hello. How can I help you?
A balloon probe
and a bottle of helium, please.
Are you a contestant?
Yes, er, no, not anymore.
The reception area for contestants
is in the grounds, outside.
Yes, I know but...
I'm out of the contest
and I need to launch my probe.
That's why I'd like to have
a balloon and some helium.
What I suggest is,
you make an official request.
You fill in a form,
send it to Planet Science
and you'll receive your balloon.
But I want it now.
Those are the rules, young lady.
Goodbye.
- Excuse me.
- I'm not moving.
What are you doing, young lady?
I won't move till I get my balloon
and helium.
If you don't move,
I'll have to call security.
I won't move till I get my balloon
and helium.
You're staying put?
You're sure?
I'll call security then.
Very well.
Take her arms.
On Jupiter, the force of gravity is
24.7 meters per second squared.
Or 2.5 times that of Earth.
So on Jupiter, I weigh 250 kilos.
I am Jupiter, I weigh 250 kilos.
Hello, Lois.
This is the command center.
Recognize him?
He's doing an experiment on fluids.
Is this live?
It sure is!
We communicate regularly.
It's awesome.
You're interested now, eh?
Still want your balloon?
Yes.
Hang on tight, girls!
Lois, they're coming!
We launch it at zero, OK?
See ya!
Bon voyage!
Hey, space!
For 20 seconds,
it's like you're in space.
You're weightless.
You don't feel your weight.
You don't feel your body.
Hi, biatch!
I'm writing you from the dorks center.
I'm stuck here for now.
We're gonna talk about my leaving,
but they're taking me for a ride.
There's a guy who's been here 3 years.
They've put me on my own
for busting my roommate's balls.
But I'm easy to get along with,
so I don't see why.
I think of you lot sometimes
and I miss you.
You, obviously,
but even those other two dorks.
By the way,
Stairlift Stannah wrote me.
She's got herself a guy,
who's into Untouchable too.
Enjoy your cherry boys' class
and don't forget me,
or I'll kill you when I get out.
In my cherry boys' class,
I'm gonna write you.
Make sure you get out soon,
so we can meet up, OK?
There's a surprise in the envelope.
I bet you've guessed what it is.
I miss you all too.
It's kinda like gravity in physics.
When objects attract each other.
The force acts at a distance.
The objects are affected
without being touched.
There's a really strong inner pressure.
PURE AIR
And it traces their path forever.
And you'll see,
at an altitude of 45 km,
everything is clearer.
At an altitude of 45 km,
you can see how beautiful Earth is.
