THE SURPRISE

Marion, hurry up.

I'm coming.

We are already too late.

Yes.

I'll get the car.
- Well.

Justine, you're in bed at 12.

Roger that?
- Yes.

There's chicken in the fridge.
You just have to warm up.

Have you heard?
- Yes.

Do you learn
or are you just doing that?



I am learning.

Where is my jacket?

You gave that to me.

No, you took her,
without asking.

That is not the same.

Really?
She is in my room.

We'll be back late.
You're in bed at one.

Yes / Yes.

What shoud that?

What is?

Where are you going?

Where are you going?

What happened?

What's happening?



We have wedding day.

When?

Today.

I do not believe that.

I forgot.

Me too.

Is that bad?

I'm sorry.

Really.

I'm leaving you, Paul.

Why?

No.

All right.

Justine.

How are you?

Do you have the tasks?

Yes.
Oh, there is my mother.

Sweet.

You were not at home.

I wanted to talk to you about that.

Do not you have any lessons?

I am free today.

You look finished.

Justine ...

I'm not coming home.

Not more.
- What?

I'll stay with Louise first.

Did you have a fight with dad?
- no.

But...
I have to think.

And me?

Nothing changes.

I will not let you down.

No way.

Hello.

Hello.

I expected you yesterday.

I know.

What's wrong?

More or less.

What?

I left Paul.

No way.

But.

I can hardly believe it myself ...

But it is so.

I left Paul.

It was not planned.

For someone else?

No, no one else.

To me.

To live again.

How is Justine?

Not good.

Like most teenagers
she thinks, I'm just her mother.

Is not that enough?

No.

I do not know anymore,
who I am.

Everything is so unreal.

I'm afraid.

Before what I do.

Of course, it was 20 years.

22nd

Now I start from the beginning
like a student.

With a bed,
a table, a chair.

It is about
around a corner apartment.

Let's start in the kitchen.

Gas, fitted kitchen,
completely tiled.

With a view of the yard.

No stink and a lot of light.

A nice place for cooking.

This is the living room.

Twice as big.

Stunning ...
And incredibly bright.

A nice, quiet street,
big windows,

the metro around the corner ...

The location is ideal.

Do not worry.

They are very smart.

I am not worried.

I just say that because of that,
what happened last year.

What?
- I'll tell you later.

Good Morning.

All right then...

Sit down.

As promised: To Marivaux '
Piece to make it more exciting

I have Simon Leroy today,
brought along, an actor,

a few scenes
will play with you.

I give that over.

Well.

I am not an intellectual.

So no text analysis of me.

I leave that to your teacher.

We are just having fun
to have with Marivaux.

That's fine.

We want the feeling
track behind the words.

Does that sound good?

Yes.
- Yes? Nice.

Do you all have a book?
Yes? No. Yes? No.

I'm waiting in the cafe.

Justine.

Wait for me. Wait

Do we want to eat something?

We should talk.

About what?

I have an apartment now.

You do not live anymore
at your sister's?

Love dies sometimes.

Dad needs me.

How is he?

What do you think?

Wait a moment.

Can not we talk?

Listen to me.

He is not your problem.

You are his daughter.
Not his mother or wife.

That's easy to say.

No, it does not.

I have no choice.

You're welcome...

Do not be angry with me.

Do you want a key?
- no.

Yes, a margherita, please.

When?

Thank you.

Marion.

Marion.

Are you Marion?

Yes.

Hello, my name is Claude.

A friend of your sister.

She told me about you.

Come.

What for?

My car is full
of used stuff.

Take a look.

That's nice,
but I can not afford anything.

Who said anything about money?

Louise is a friend.

Come on now.

Help me.
- Yes I come.

Beautiful or?

Yes.
That's very nice of you.

I'll put it on the bed.

Hello.

A margherita?

Would you like a piece of pizza?
- Why not?

Thank you.

You still need a sofa.

I am sure one.

I'll check it out.
- That will not do.

It is an offer.

On Louise's friends.

Do you trade in antiques?

With junk, frankly.

I drive to markets.

Do you like it?
- Yes.

You come around, meet people ...

It does not get boring.

And you?

I'm bored.

I left my husband.

I know, Louise told me that.

I do not know,
whether it was the right thing.

I was married too.

Not long.

He left me.

It was not the worst.

But I am again
got on his feet.

Honestly

I'm pretty
bored with him.

seriously?

I can understand that.

A nice piece, right?
- How much?

1500.
- I have to earn something too.

Me too.

Say something.

1,400, not less.

May I suggest something?

I hear.

1,000 bar on the hand.
- 1,400.

Good, 1,200, half the bar.

Deal.
- Well.

Thank you.

See you.

Hello.

I'm fine?
- Yes.

When you go back,
you both suffer.

And your daughter.

I know.

I bore you with it.

But you are a good listener.

I have always been.

I am a saint.

Let's watch a movie,
when the sofa is up?

If you want.
Which one?

No idea.

Are you ready?

Yes, thank you.

And a cottage cheese, please.
- Very much.

Hello.

In the restaurant around the corner.

Paul, that's not a good ...

Alright?

New hairstyle.

Do you like her?

Do you want to know that?

No.

Pure habit.

Do you want to eat something?

No thanks.

Paul.

Stop it.

Let go,

you hurt me.

Enough of that nonsense.
Let's go.

Where?

You come home with me.

Is this a joke?

Do I laugh?

I stay here.

I'm not going.

You can not order me anything.

Your quark.

She does not need that, we go.

I remain.

A herbal tea, please.

Gladly.

What do you do?

We go.

Let me go.
Stop doing that. Let me.

Please Sir.
We do not want excitement.

Please leave.

Everything OK?

Yes.

Hello.

Nice that you're here.

He arranged it for you?

Is this my room?
- Yes.

Only one bed so far.

I thought you did it yourself.

A week here, a week there.

I'm a bit too old for that,
or?

And what do you think?
- Nice.

Really?
You like it?

Only a TV is missing.

Where are the furniture from?

A loan.

I may buy it.

A loan? From whom?
- Claude, a friend of Louise.

And by me.

I like her. She is...
- I do not know her.

Save me your story.

I'm talking about my life.

I do not want to know that.

What is it you want?
- That you take care of me.

My little...

You do not have me anymore
cut the hair.

You're right.

You have a new perfume.
- Right.

You smell bad.

Not like my mother anymore.

But I am your mother.

Are you the only one
which may change?

Do you have a guy?

Did you?

Is none of your business.

Likewise.

You did the right thing.

Dad is completely alike.

He probably betrayed you.

I have to go.

And the food?

Dad is waiting.

Luc, where are you?

Yes I come.

Hello It's Me.

Are you at home?

I'm staying with mom today.

No, Don `t worry.

See you tomorrow, dad.

Hello.

Are you coming with me?

Cigarette?

I forgot mine.

Are you coming tonight
to my performance?

I can not.

You can not or do not want?

I have something important to do.

More important than watching me play?

Someone is there,
I can not disappoint.

I do not understand.

I thought you were single,
live alone and are free.

Since you have thought wrong.
- Really?

Goodbye.

I heard everything.

Do not lie to me.

As?

You have a lover.

Stop it.

I meet Claude.
- Again?

She's the only one,
that interests you. Claude.

You are in love with her.

Do not be absurd.

I may well have friends too.
- Naturally.

Come on.

We start.

Are you coming?
- I'm waiting for someone.

Everything OK?
- Yes.

You have found it.
- Yes.

Come on, I introduce you.
- Claude.

I do not know anyone there.

That's the point.

Claude.
- I'm coming.

With your friend?

I've changed my mind.

I'm too old.

What's happening?

Flamenco is not for me.
- You did not even try.

We start.
- I'm coming.

Are you coming?

Good, but I do not dance.
I'm just watching.

What is wrong with you?

Now do not be like that.

I'm going better.

Excuse me.

Good evening.

Is Simon Leroy there?

Are you waiting
at the stage exit on him.

Over there on the left.

Thank you.
- With pleasure.

What are you doing here?
Did you see it?

No.

Wait.

Take care.

See you tomorrow.

Simon.

Morning.
- Yes.

Bad timing?

No no.

Do we want to drink something?

Yes.

How did it go?
- Well.

That's the connection
by Claude Drassera.

Leave a message.

When you hear that, you know
that I could not sleep.

That was childish of me.

I'm so sorry.

I'm breaking everything right now.

Now...

I'll get in touch.

Claude ...

Flamenco is something for me.

Especially if you dance it.

Something serious?
- I hope not.

And?

The radiator hose.

Nothing big.

Where are you?

Here.

Did you fix it?
- He just has to cool down.

Coffee?
- Yes, sure.

Here, take mine.
- Thank you.

Nice here.

That's great.

I did not feel that forever.

We are here?
- Yes.

What a nice hotel.

Are you organizing a room for us?

In order.

I will. See you soon.

I'm there.

Did you find a parking space?

I took a guard.

Beautiful room.
- Yes very.

May I take a bath first?

Well, I do not know...

Are you serious?
I'm dirty.

Alright,
The dirty monkey goes first.

You are well trained.
- As?

You are well trained.
- You also.

Yes're right.

Everything alright, ladies?
- Yes, thank you.

I wanted to become an actress.

I did not know that.

Yes.

I practiced La Fausse Suivante .

Do you know that?

It is a long time ago.

It must be funny
to love a woman,

if you are used to men.

I beg your pardon?

I mean the countess in Marivaux.

She loves a woman
who is disguised as a man ...

She could
to appeal to ignorance.

Could it happen to you?

Fall in love with a woman
without noticing it?

No idea. Perhaps.
And you?

Yes. Even remembered.

Really?

I'm too conservative for that.

Thank you.

I'm drunk.

Where do you want to go?
- This way.

We have to go there.
- no.

I do not believe that.
- Look...

Do not get run over.

Attention.

I'm drunk.

Wait for me.

Wait for me.

There is no human being in this city.

It will be closed at 10pm.

It must be enough.

The last time was too hard.
I do not want to suffer again.

What are you talking about?

Marion,
I do not want to sleep with you.

I do not want that either.
It was just fun.

I'm drunk,
that's all.

You need something
Between your legs.

Then it's good.

Let's talk.

I do not want.
- Explain it to me.

Just leave me alone,
damn it all.

You are crazy.

Mummy?

Nobody is there.

She bought a TV.

Do not we have anything better to do?

Are you sleeping?

Please do not go.

Justine, are you there?

Understand.

We will continue with Justine later.

When she comes.
- She promised.

Do not worry.

You are too strict.

Stop it, Mom.

Hello.

15 clock was settled.
- Yes.

I'm sorry.

Hello, my little one.

How was your weekend?

And yours?

Nothing special.
- Really?

Nothing special?

What is that?

That does not concern you.
- What?

Who is this?
What about Martin?

Martin is a kid.

A child?
And how old is he?

Is none of your business.
- What does he do?

Is none of your business.
- I'm fine.

You are 17,
I am responsible for you.

Since when?

You're just doing that.
In front of grandma.

You do not care about anything.

You're leaving
and leaves me behind.

Listen to me.

I had at 17
the first time sex.

I understand you.

I understand you very well.

I do not want,
that you are making nonsense.

Just like you?

It is not about me.

You are young.
He is too old for you.

We do not marry.

Justine.

Let's talk.

We are not enemies.

Leave me alone.
- We are not enemies.

Claude here. Leave a
Message, I'm on my way.

Come back, Claude.

Do not stay away.

What do you think, Claude?

Oh, stop it.

You can never be objective with me.

I can not pretend
like it's not good.

Can not you?

That does not help me.
Be critical.

I'm critical, Katia.

What's wrong with you?

If it's good, it's good.
- Good.

Give me a glass of wine.

That will relax me.

To you, Katia, wherever you are.

Marion, let me in.

Marion, I have to talk to you.

Hello.

I am Claude.
Is Marion there?

No.

I thought you were older.

Should I align something?

No, I'll be back.

Are you waiting.

You can also wait.

Thank you.

Oh no.

That's disgusting.

He eats her.

Hello.

We have been waiting for an hour.

A conference.
- I have to go.

Dad is waiting.

Bad timing.

I'll see you again, I hope.
- Perhaps.

Will you bring the DVD back?
- Yes, little one.

Stay away from my daughter.

Are you sick?

Do you want to tell me something?

I'm so sorry.

I break everything.

But I'm scared.

Of what?
- Before you.

Before me?
- Yes, in front of you and me.

Before what can happen.

I thought,
I would never fall in love again.

And you?

That's fine.

We can stay friends.

Claude.

Look at me.

Everything OK?

I do not know.

Katia.

Claude, what happened?

Everything OK?

All right.

Nothing else,
just a nightmare.

There you are.

I forgot my math book.

I had breakfast at the café.

Did you eat something?

Would you like some tea?

You're weird.

I'm not.

I have no time.

I have to get ready.

Did not you sleep here?

But. Naturally.

Who were you with?

Anyone.

What is wrong with you?

You were with Simon.

If you have to know it,
Yes.

For the wanker
did you leave dad?

He is not a wanker,
you do not even know him.

He's after all the girls.

I do not want to marry him.

Do you have your math book?

Quick, we'll be late.

Would a kiss encourage you?

Will you never be satisfied?

I will not envy you.

Your resistance decreases.

I only want one word.

May I help you?

Say, Knight, I worship you.

Knight, I adore you.

No wait.

Not so fast.

You seduce her.

You have to kiss her for a kiss
enchant. Do you understand?

Again please.

says:

Knight, I adore you.

Knight, I adore you.

Do not be so childish.

That was good.

Do you understand how it works?

Sorry, that means:
I will not envy you?

Does anyone know that?

You still have sex?

It's not that easy.

She just can not
love a woman.

Like the title
La Surprise de l'Amour suggests

is not that clear from the beginning.

This is La Fausse Suivante.

Yes of course.

In Marivaux 'piece
Love is always a fight.

As in life.

A fight between desire
and the rejection of him.

When the desire is stronger,
it gets complicated.

But...

Maybe that's better.

Excuse me.

That I do not understand.

Neither do I.

Never mind, carry on.
- The hour is over.

Then you can go.

Stop it.

Pull yourself together.

Will you come to me?

I make risotto.

No, I can not today.

I want you.
- Listen, Simon.

I just want a friendship.

I'd rather tell you quite openly.

I do not want to use you.

Louise.

I'm in love.

That's why I did not hear anything from
you.

Who is it?

Do I know him?

Yes, you know her.

"You"?
You are in love with a woman?

Yes.

It was also surprising for me.

It feels like I am
to live the life of someone else.

Everything is turning.

It is nice.

I'm completely baffled.

I never expected that.

I'm happy, Louise.
Happy.

Who is she?

Guess what.

Claude?

And I introduced you.

Stop it.

I'm glad about that.

I do not understand that.
Not really.

My sister,
in love with a woman.

We have to tell Mama.

As?

Are you crazy?

Wait.
- It was just a joke.

Goodbye.
- Thank you.

Are you following me?

I saw a beautiful woman.

Thought: wait, this is my wife.

I know.

You like me from afar.

I can not live without you.

I have to go, Paul.

Are you in love?

Why do you ask this?

It is obvious.

Only love
can cause such a radiation.

Do I know him?

You left me for someone

I always came back.
And you?

That's enough. I'm in a hurry.

To meet him?

Who is it?

I'll tell you who I slept with
when we were together.

You will never change.
- Who is it?

Another teacher?

One of my friends?

Who is it?

It is a woman.

What?

I do not believe that.

Introduce me.
We could do a threesome.

Bye for now.

See you soon, Marion.

Stop, you two.

What's happening?

Smooch with Patrick,
if you are bored.

Justine.

Justine.
A yellow car.

Yes, that is him.

Excuse me.

Stop. Not.

Snout. Snout.

Snout.

Quick, let's go.

That's nice.

I like being here.

Careful, Marion.

I am dangerous.

Really?

Dangerous?

Do you know
the story of Bluebeard?

You had seven women in front of me?

I am the eighth?

Where are the bodies?

Search for them.

Are you scared?

Nothing.

Look under the bed.

Let me in.
- No, you can not get me.

In the end, yes.
- no.

But.
- no.

Now you can not leave.

You are my last love.

What the...
- Exciting, huh?

Stop, that hurts.

Au.

You do not like it?

Stop it.

Stop it,
you're scaring me.

You should be scared.

Tell me about Katia.

What?

Katia. Your Katia.

Do you love her?

Yes.

Why do not you go to her?

I will not see her again.

It's over.

It does not look that way.

Marion?

I'm jealous.

I was never jealous
on a man, but you ...

How do you know each other?

Why did I separate you?

Tell me.

I have to know it.

Why are you so cold to me?

Do not you care?

Do not start a discussion.

We are not married.

You call her name,
if you sleep.

Even when you are awake.

If you go now,
it is over.

Do you hear?

It's over.

Hello.

Do you have a reservation?
- Yes, Chalin. A table for three.

This way please.

Hello.

Bring her to table twelve, please.

Good Appetite.

Would you like an aperitif?

Three glasses of champagne.

Three champagne.

Gifts first?
- Yes.

As?
Should I bring a present?

Very funny.

Here, darling.

Thank you Mama.
They are great.

Do you like them?
- Yes.

My gift will be lame

Is that what I wanted?

Yes, a calculator.

That's not funny.

I love you.

Open up.

Thank you, Dad.

Thank you Mama.

Thank you.

Thank you.

What are you saying?
A new customer.

You did that?
- Yes.

The paper is great.

The font is great.
Very unobtrusive.

But there is a mistake.
- Which one?

The prices are missing.

I pay.

No way.
I do not understand why.

Can not I even do that?

Do not start now.
Today is my birthday.

I'll still get my jacket.

Look, mom.
There's Claude.

Hello, what are you doing here?

Everything OK?

Have a look,
I got it for free.

You are wonderful.

Congratulations.

Hello.

I did not know,
that you are accompanied.

I have the table you are looking for.

Another time.

Have a drink with us.

I have to go, kid.

Bye for now.

Well then.

Did you catch something?
- Not yet.

Is what?

I do not cheat on you.

Katia died two years ago.

It's not a scam to love her.

I do not cheat on you.

Since then I have
nobody looked at.

Do you remember
at our first meeting?

You said that ...

It was like out
to wake up a deep sleep.

Thats how I feel too.

Let me sleep here.

Justine is not coming.

She may come tomorrow morning,

to have breakfast with me.

Then come with me.

No, she should not know
that I sleep somewhere else.

You are not her daughter.

That's not what it is about.

I want my own apartment.

I want this apartment
becomes completely mine.

I have just
leave my husband.

I have to live alone.

I thought you wanted that, too.

No, I do not want that.

I miss you permanently.

I hate it,
when you are not here.

I need to see you,
smell, touch, breathe ...

Even if we do not
sleeping together.

You are there, that's enough.

I want to wake up next to you.

That's too fast.

I never loved a woman.

I feel like a mutant.

It is so big.

I do not want,
Justine knows.

I can not tell her.

Fire.

It is over?
- Yes.

Are you sure?
- Yes.

What happened?

You have started the stove.

Do you mean?

Is everything ok?

I was scared.
- Me too.

Did the fuse go out?
- I think so.

Now I have to stay with you.

Can you stand it?

Very funny.

Good Morning.

Are not you sleeping?
- no.

I am still tired.

Hello.

Leave my wife alone.

They keep her away from me.

You are just an episode,
do you know that?

The faster this is over,
the better.

That also applies to you.

I am an episode?

Well said.

What are you then?
A youthful sin?

Listen to me.

Stay away.

The camp is private terrain.

Roger that?

Roger that.
Disappear now.

Or I'll get the police.

Did you still have sex?
- That does not concern you.

Tell me.

Not very often.

And how was it?
- Not bad.

How "not bad"?
- Well, not bad.

So that's how...?

Or rather ...?

That was it?
- Where do you want to get that from?

I was married.

Clean up the things.

A sip of wine?

Yes.

Do you think that's possible?
- Yes.

Are you opening the bottle?
- Yes.

We have no dessert.

Not bad.
She does not like biscuits anyway.

A Sunday without cake ...

Oh shit.

What happened?
- That's a blot.

May I have it
what to borrow from you?

Do you give me a present?

Claude.

What's happening?

Do not touch me.

What's happening?
- Pull it out.

Pull it out.

I'm sorry.

It was a fight for nothing.

Really stupid.

But we could not stop.

It escalated.

It was a beautiful day,
I opened the window ...

She was sitting on the ledge ...

She was foaming with rage,
because I did not give in.

One moment she was sitting,
not in the next.

A blink of an eye
and she was gone.

I could not hold her.

Or do something.

I could not do anything.

Did she fall?

Or jumped?
- I dont know.

She was mad at me.

Maybe she jumped,

to punish me.

She did not want to die.

When the window
only to have been.

Mummy?

Claude?

Hello Justine.

Are they for me?

Thank you.

Hello Little.
- Sit down.

Everything OK?
It does not work that way.

Everything OK?

How are you here?

By train.

I hope you are hungry.
There are tons.

Your friend is a musician?
- Yes.

Drummer?

He plays in a band.

I saw you.

I saw you both.

You disgust me.

How could you?

We would have her hair
should not cut, not Simon.

You are a liar.

A liar.

You manipulate everyone.

I never want to see you again.

Justine.

What have you done?

Why?

Let's go home.

Everything will be fine.

THREE WEEKS LATER

If you have your work
have not yet submitted,

tomorrow is for it
the last chance.

Hello! How are you?

That's all?

I have more,

more your line.

Where?
- If you come in left.

Excuse me.

I'll be right back.

Hi.

It's me.

What does that mean?

You're missing me.

Very.
- You me too.

Where are you?
- In Brittany.

When are you coming back?

I do not understand you.

Better now?
- Yes.

Just a short tour.

Im done.

Work too much.

I like this.

Then I do not have to think.

Can we see each other,
when you're back?

Would that be wise?

I dont know.

Life makes
without you no fun.

I have to hang up now.

When are we eating?

Immediately, if you like.

Yes.

What do you want?

What do we have there?

Scrambled eggs with tomatoes?

Yes, good.

Hello?

This evening?

Alright, I'll try.

See you later.

Mom, that was Chloe.

She is celebrating her birthday today.
Mind if I go?

No.

For sure?

Yes.

Thank you Mama.

I change my clothes.

Are you still with Luc?

No, with a new one.

You will like it.
Always best in class.

I'm gone.

Be at one at home.
- Yes.

Let me bring you home.
- Yes.

Hello.

Yes I am.

When?

Yes?

But...

Where is she?

Give me the address
from the hospital.

Yes.

How is she?

Yes.

Thank you.

Hello Simon.

Will you lend me your car?

I'll explain it later.

Here.

Louise ...

Yes it's me.

Justine is with a friend.

Can you pick her up?
and bring to her father?

You are not allowed to make a call here.

There is a terrace.

Yes.

I am with Claude.
Do not tell her ...

I will stay a few days.

Maybe longer.

Excuse me.
- wait ...

You are not allowed to make a call here.

There's a terrace down there.

She fell asleep at the wheel.

I'm in the hospital.

They did a CT scan,
there is a problem.

What, they do not know yet.

No, I'm fine.
Really, all right.

Honestly...

I'm not feeling well either.

I'm afraid.

Louise, wait a minute.

Calm down.

Take care of Justine, yes?

Yes.

Thank you.

Louise.

We were so scared.

Are you hurt?
- Attention.

Why are you here?

Justine, I want to talk to you.

Come along.

You are young, you still have
your whole life before you.

There are no borders.

I am 45.

I also have something in mind
but not what you expect.

I love you my sweetheart.

I hope you know that.

But I love Claude too.

I love a woman.

I can not change that.
That's easy.

I will neither do it
still give up my luck.

When she feels better,
I will move to her.

I hope she dies.

I'm sorry, mom.

I should not have said that.

I'm so sorry.

If you need me,
I'm next door.

Thank you.

Marion.

I'm here.

I should come to you.
Do you remember?

Really?
That does not matter.

Is not it.

I love you.

I love you too.

I am risen from the dead.

Do you see?

Yes.

Rest now.

Do not speak.
