Teen Spirit (2018) - full transcript

Violet is a shy teenager who dreams of escaping her small town and pursuing her passion to sing. With the help of an unlikely mentor, she enters a local singing competition that will test her integrity, talent and ambition. Driven by a pop-fueled soundtrack, Teen Spirit is a visceral and stylish spin on the Cinderella story.

Yo,
I've never seen you out.

I was saying that I've never seen
you, uh, outside of school.

So, it's Luke.

We're in the same class.

Yeah, I know who you are.

Oh, 'cause... No, it was...

Sorry, it's just 'cause you were
looking at me as if you, uh, didn't.

Whoa! Hey!

Whoa!

Hey!

You have a nice voice.

Thanks.

And this song,
you write yourself?

No.

You know, my daughter,
she likes this music too.

These kind of sad songs.

- I'm late for the bus.
- Hey, I have truck here.

- I can take you...
- The bus is fine.

Oi, oi!

Oi, you!

Boys!

Don't go away!

Oi, you!

How old are you?

Twenty-one.

Oh. You look younger.

I get that a lot.

Back in Croatia
I was singer to opera.

You like opera?

Here's fine.

Thanks for the ride.

Hey, I'm Vlad.

Nice to meet you.

Everyone is signing up.

Even that guy with the weirdly high voice.
I thought it was a joke.

And then in chemistry I asked him
again, and he was like,

"I have a better
singing voice than you."

You're signing up then?

Yeah, 'course. With Hayley and Kelli.

- When is it?
- Saturday.

My boyfriend's gonna drive us.
He has a BMW.

It's really old.

It's still a BMW.

Hmm...

Are you trying out,
Violet?

You sing, right?

Okay, guys,
guys, quiet, please.

Everybody, please, this way,
thank you very much.

Uh, sorry about that.

Um, it's just the better
that you guys listen now,

the quicker we can
get through with this, okay?

So, today
you will be adjudicating.

No, you won't,
'cause that's my job.

You will be adjudicated, should I say,

on your vocal and dance abilities.

Don't worry, it's still
a singing competition.

I saw a few faces go then.

As you well know, it's the first
time we've come to the island.

So it's really just a chance
for you guys

to show us what we've been
missing all this time, yeah?

Ultimately, only five of you
will be invited back tomorrow

to perform for Jules
and the show's producers.

Okay, any questions,

please do speak to your team leaders.
That's what they're here for.

And other than that, good luck.
Break a leg.

- I know!
- Oh, my gosh.

It's like ten girls in one bathroom.
I'm like, "Hello."

Good! Let's start again.

Five, six, energy! Hit it!

Thanks.

This is for you. You need to bring
it when you come back tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

Yeah.

Today's the audition
for the audition, so to speak.

There's another two stages
before the final round.

So, um, fill that in for me,
we can send you on your way.

- How old are you?
- Seventeen.

You need to bring a parent or
guardian when you come back.

It's company policy.

Is there a way around that?

I don't make the rules, love.

9:15 tomorrow.

Don't forget your pass.

You're too late.

We put on Gary,
the bartender.

♪ But come ye back
in sunshine or in shadow ♪

♪ Oh, Danny boy ♪

♪ The pipes
The pipes are calling ♪

♪ From glen to glen ♪

♪ And down the mountainside ♪

♪ The summer's gone ♪

♪ And all the flowers dying ♪

♪ 'Tis you, 'tis you must go
And I must bide ♪

♪ But come ye back ♪

Teen Spirit were holding
open-call auditions today in Ryde.

I got asked to come back.

It's a singing competition.

And what?

I need someone to come with me.

You'll be fine, yeah.

No, they said I need a guardian.

I lied to you
about how old I am.

I remember
you said you liked my singing.

There's not much
I could give you.

I have my iPod.

It's not really new or
anything, but it still plays...

Hey, hey, hey.
Keep your iPod.

I'll tell you what,
this, uh, Top Teen...

Teen Spirit.

Okay, Teen Spirit.

Is there any reward involved?

Prize money or...

Some people get record
contracts and stuff.

But only if you
win in the finals.

Hey.

If I come with you,
and you make it big,

I have to be your manager.

I don't need a manager,
it's just an audition.

I said, "If you make it big."

I will split everything 50-50.

You take 50 percent?

Yeah.

Just pick me up at 8:00.

Yeah.

Liquid courage?

Nope. Okay. Hop in.

Vlad.

Hi, Violet Valenski.
I have a guardian.

This is your guardian?

Yeah, he's my uncle.

Um...

You sign here
and print your name.

Mm-hmm.

Vladimir Brajkovic?

Yeah.

My parents are huge fans of the
opera and they love your uncle.

Uh, Miss Valenski?

Wish me luck.

Luck has nothing
to do with anything.

Did you bring
your own music with you?

Yeah, I have an iPod.

Right, just one thing,
so you know,

Jules might cut you off,
ask for something else.

'Cause you prepared
a couple of songs, yeah?

- Yeah.
- It's not personal.

She does it to everyone, so...

don't overthink it.

All right.

Your name?

Violet.

Your full name?

Violet Valenski.

What is that? Russian?

Polish.

Mm.

When should I start?

In your own time.

♪ Somebody said
You got a new friend ♪

♪ Does she love you
Better than I can? ♪

♪ There's a big black sky
Over my town ♪

♪ I know where you at
I bet she's around ♪

♪ Yeah, I know it's stupid ♪

You should have chosen a
song with a more versatile range.

I can sing something else.

Mm. But you have a nice voice.

Thanks.

You need to work
on everything else.

Yeah.

Do you have someone with you?

I do.

Bring them on, please.

Are you the dad?

Manager.

We were telling Violet
that she has potential,

but she has to work
on her performance skills.

Potential for what?

What potential?

We're going to invite
Violet to remain in the competition.

So she wins something,
or what?

No.

She's through
to the next round.

She needs to practice.

Work on her breathing.

She's very green.

I will make sure
that she is ready.

Okay, thank you!

Yeah, if you both wanna follow
me, we'll get you sorted.

Hey, do we get
any money for today? Or...

Uh, you're a little
bit of a way off that yet.

- See you guys Saturday.
- See you.

- What?
- Mother's gonna lose her shit.

Don't worry, I'll talk to her.

You're not meeting
my mum.

Hey, trust me.

I'm good with people.

Too good.

So...

what are your intentions
with my daughter?

- I think...
- Vlad's helping me with my singing.

Helping? How?

I went to an audition today.

For a singing competition.

And I qualified for the next round.

If I go through,
I get to go to London.

It would be on television.

You like television.

It could be a good thing
for the both of us.

What does he have
to do with all this?

I'm her manager.

What are you talking about?

Manager?
Manager for what?

Tell her I was an opera singer.

I already did.
She doesn't care.

How are you going to do this and
keep up with your responsibilities?

School's out next week.

I can still work
nights and weekends.

We don't
have money to pay you.

So what are you
getting out of this?

She does well in this competition,
maybe she has a future.

And I get 50 percent, yeah?

Fifty percent?

You get 15 percent.

That's what manager gets.

Not a penny more.
And no monkey business.

You lay a finger on my daughter
and I will have you killed.

I know people
who can do terrible things.

Understood.

Are you sure?

Sure.

It was nice meeting you.

Thank you for bringing
my daughter home safely.

Nice to meet you.

Thank you for today.

You know...

your mother is very beautiful.

I'll tell her you think so.

Don't laugh. It's true.

- Vlad.
- Yes, Violet?

Were you really an opera singer?

Once upon a time.

Oi, come on, don't be shy.

- Oh, my gosh.
- Oh, my gosh!

Yo, Lisa told me the good news.

Congratulations. That's...

That's rather brilliant.
That's really good.

Thanks.

Yo, my band's playing a g...
a gig on, um...

It's on Saturday.

But we're...
we're pretty shit. But...

I think you...
You'd probably...

I work weekends.

Yeah, all right,
another time, maybe.

Yeah, definitely.

Sorry about the smell.

You get used to it though.

When was the last time
you were on stage?

I don't like to think
about the past.

You are the future.

And here.

No tension.

You sing from here.

Even your mouth is closed, yeah.

♪ Mum, mum
Mum, mum, mum ♪

Sound is here.
Here. Here you have sound.

- ♪ A-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga ♪
- ♪ Mum-mum-mum-mum... ♪

♪ Go-go-go-go-go-go ♪

♪ Ga-ga-ga-ga ♪

Yeah, it's energy here.

You have...
You have power, yeah.

Look, look.
Try, try.

But think about air.

Here, here you have...
Here is the power.

Long.

♪ Whoooo... ♪

To maximize
our capacity to sing,

we must first maximize
our capacity to breathe.

So, place your hands
on your waist,

so that your fingers
are pointing toward your navel.

And now...

feel the tension release.

As you breathe in,

let the air move through the
base of your diaphragm first.

Now...

your hands will slowly
rise and fall with each breath.

Exhale.

Feel extension of your body,
yeah?

Now...

we count down from five,

breathing out slowly.

Five...

four...

three...

two...

one.

This round
is extremely competitive.

You'll be up against some of the
best young singers in the country.

Most of them are more
experienced than you.

When you're onstage,
you are exposed.

Your voice is important, yes.

But it's your soul, your
spirit, that people are seeing.

You can do this.

Hey, look at me.

Sing from your heart.

Open your eyes.

Connect with the audience.

You can do this, Violet.

You can do this.

This is it,
ladies and gentlemen.

The judges have spoken and
these are your three finalists.

But only one can make it through
to the grand finals in London

and that audience
of 20 million viewers.

Okay, so let's find out who's
going to be tonight's lucky star.

Will it be Miss Valenski,

The Extra-Terrestrials,

or Angel X?

We're gonna find out
who they are

- in three, two, one...
- Three, two, one...

Violet Valenski and Angel X,
stay where you are.

You could be going through
to the grand final.

Ladies and gentlemen,
give it up for them,

in third place,
The Extra-Terrestrials!

Unlucky, lads.

Okay, so, we're down to two.

Violet Valenski and Angel X.

Now, as you know,
only one of them

will make it through to that grand
final at London ExCeL in August,

in front
of a global audience.

But who is it gonna be?

Well... we can find out.

Because I now know

what the judges have decided.

Ladies and gentlemen...

Your newest
Teen Spirit finalist is...

Angel X!

Where are you going?

Meet you in the car.

You were great tonight.

It was the wrong song.
Should have done a ballad.

It was the right song.

You came second.

Exactly.

It was their mistake.

We'll keep practicing.

Next time
we'll go to the finals.

There is no "next time."

We'll rehearse every day.

Work on your breathing.

I will help you.

Help me?

You're a drunk
who sleeps in his car.

You must not say that.

It's true.

Where are our drinks?

There you go. Table four.

I'm not taking that order.

It's in your section.

You do it.

♪ Yeah, I'm gonna be there ♪

Thank you.

Thank you. Cheers.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Late marriage
with their parents, whatever.

So he just ended up with
an attractive sister.

You, you got a boyfriend?

No.

You?

Louise doesn't like lads.

- Believe me, I've tried.
- And he keeps trying.

How long have you
been playing together?

Um, not long. Three months.

- How do you two know each other?
- School.

- You know, just school.
- Right.

Oh, my God.

I'm so shit.

- Did I miss it?
- No.

I mean, yeah, you did miss
it, but you didn't miss much.

You were supposed to text me.

Yeah. Sorry.

Is that it?

- Well, that's a good price.
- Yeah.

We should get out
of here as soon as we can

before she changes her mind.

- Come on then.
- Yeah?

Scared to move her? Come on.

Hey!

What are you doing?
That's my horse.

- Not anymore.
- What?

- My brother paid for it already.
- What?

- Paid who?
- I don't know her name. The, uh, the lady.

- Wait.
- No, we have to go.

Please, wait!

Go on, hurry up then.

Don't touch me!

Is this you?

This was me.

I have no idea
what you're saying.

But it sounds good.

Well, Pinkerton is
American naval officer.

Played by you?

Played by me.

His child bride
has a son in his absence.

When he returns home,
he has new wife.

The child bride is devastated.

He realizes he has made
a terrible mistake,

but he's too much
of a coward to face her.

Does she forgive him?

No. She kills herself.

Depressing.

Ah, it's opera.

When I was little,
I caught my mum with someone.

I didn't know him.

And I never told my dad.

But I didn't have to.

A week later, he was gone.

No note, no good-bye, nothing.

A house is expensive to keep.

Things break all the time.

There's land,
and animals, and...

She refuses to leave...

because she thinks
he's coming back.

He's not coming back.

I know that now.

Sorry about the other night.

It's okay.

You were disappointed.

But I'm not
going to let you give up.

I wasted my own talent.

Maybe you're
my second chance to...

be useful now.

Well, that's good.

Because I've got some news.

You're wasting your time,
we can't pay you.

Yes, this is Violet.

They made a mistake.

The girl who won my group...

she was using a fake name.

Turns out she'd already entered
another competition before.

She's been disqualified.

We're going to London, Vlad.

Going to the finals.

Wow.

Here we are
on the Isle of Wight,

a small but picturesque island
off the coast of England.

And behind me,
the home of Violet Valenski,

the first contestant from the island
to make the Teen Spirit finals.

I never dreamed
I would make it this far.

I keep waiting for them to call
back and say there's been a mistake.

The competition, which provides
a platform for young British talent,

has surged in popularity

thanks to
high-profile contestants

like Keyan Spears
and Three Two Tango.

Violet, who lives alone
with her mother,

has no expectations
of the same success,

but looks forward to performing
on a global stage.

I know I'm not
the best singer in England,

but I'm gonna try to work
really hard to be a better one

by the time we get to London.

And forgive the question,

but we have to ask,

is there a special someone in your life?

No special someone.

I don't believe in love.

Love's not real.

Basically, Violet found out she got in
the final and needed a backing band.

So, we were like, "Yes."

And then we found out we had
to pay for our accommodation,

so we were like, "No."

And then Luke said he'd pay for
it, so we said yes again.

No, I...

No, I didn't.

I'm not paying for it.

Who is then?

My mum's paying for it.

May the Lord be with you.

And with thy spirit.

Thanks be to God.

Before you go,
this is a special occasion.

For one of our angels
has been blessed with a gift.

May her faith and spirit give her
the strength to overcome temptation,

and lead her
on the path to prosperity.

- Amen.
- Amen.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- You didn't have to do that.
- It's not for you.

Ma, Vlad's here.

It's for you.

That's very...

unexpected.

A woman like you should
get flowers every day.

It's still 15 percent.

All right...

We should hit the road.

Should I help with your bags?

They... They're, um...
They're upstairs.

- Yeah.
- Thanks.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

I got you something.

So I know you're safe.

There's some credit on it.

It will be cheaper than
using the phone at the hotel.

I'll call
as soon as I get there.

Good.

We are going for four days.

There's this train in London,
the Eurostar,

it goes from London
to Paris direct.

Ah...

Paris is expensive.

Not if we make our millions.

Your daughter's there, no?

You should visit her
after the finals.

Miss Valenski.

- Hi.
- Welcome to London.

My name is Yuriy.

I'll be taking care of you
over the next few days.

This is Vlad.

Hey, I'm manager.

Vlad, a pleasure.

That's our band,
Louise, Luke, Rollo.

The band will have to
check in on the lower level.

Sam will show you.

Okay, bye.

Luke.

Luke, you are in charge, yeah?

- Nothing from the minibar.
- Yeah, okay.

- Hey, I'll be checking, yeah.
- Yes, okay.

Violet, Vlad,
if you'd like to follow me.

This room's for me?

Yes, of course.

Mr. Brajkovic,
we have you right next door.

Good.

This is your itinerary
for the weekend.

You have about 30 minutes

and then I will meet on
the conference room on level B.

I can take it.

Very good.

I'll let you get settled
and meet you downstairs.

Thank you.

Mm. You have to do
a television promo.

What for?

For the broadcast
on Sunday.

Everybody has to do it.

It's nothing,
just say your name and, uh...

where you are from, or...

What do you want to wear?

I'll wear this.

Hey, we're The Shades.
Vote for us tomorrow on Teen Spirit.

Hi, I'm Thomas King.
Vote for me tomorrow on Teen Spirit.

Hi, I'm Violet, and you can vote for
me tomorrow night on Teen Spirit.

Hi, we're Peckham Rose.
Vote for us tomorrow on Teen Spirit.

I'm Roxy. You can vote for me
tomorrow night on Teen Spirit.

Holy shit,
this is massive.

Yeah.

Oi, it's that foxy Roxy.

- Yeah.
- Yeah, she's fit.

Nah.
No, she's not my type.

- What?
- Shut up.

- And a side of chips.
- Told ya. He's not good enough for you.

Mm-hmm.
Okay, thank you.

That doesn't make you
any less strong.

To have somebody
care about ya.

I know that you care.
I just want you to care less.

Ever since Mum's died all you've been
doing is just taking it out on me.

You're gonna set me off now.

That was quick.

Hmm, housekeeper.

Hmm. They came already.

I know
I'm not the perfect dad...

Uh... Can I help you?

Everybody
seems to have no clothes on at all.

Why is it that all
of the stories you tell me...

I know. I have absolutely no...
Ooh, hang on.

This one... This one is for later.

Hi, hi!

Uh, Alexa's being an idiot.
Ignore her.

Everyone...

this is Violet.

- And, uh, Mr...
- Brajkovic.

Jules. Hi.

- Everything is okay?
- Mm.

Please take a seat.

Mm, go on.

This is Marcus.

He's on the board committee.

He's very posh,
so we have to be nice to him.

Is something wrong?

No, on the contrary.

We have an opportunity
that, uh, I think might appeal.

What kind of opportunity?

We would like to offer
Violet a contract

ahead of tomorrow's performance.

A record contract.

No guarantees, of course,

but you would have studio time

and you'd be working
with songwriters and...

you would have an incredible
management team behind you.

Oh, Violet, this is Keyan.

Obviously he's a total miscreant,
but he can vouch for us.

They're amazing.

Piss off.

No, really, I...

It's been great.

She has a manager already.

She doesn't need two.

Well, as you know,
there is occasional precedent

of the final winner getting
an opportunity like this.

But we wanted to
come to you now,

ahead of tomorrow's performance.

Why me?

'Cause you're a caterpillar.

We're a cocoon.

Maybe, together,
we make a butterfly.

Or maybe not.

We wanna give it a shot.

And this way, you have a safety
net, no matter what happens.

That way, you can
go out tomorrow and relax.

Just sing
without all the... presh.

And what if she wins

and somebody else
makes an offer?

Better offer.

Well, then that would be great.
I'd be very happy for you.

Hmm.

She's not signing anything
until I've read it.

- Vlad.
- Look, take the night to think about it.

But you have to sign
before the show or it's a no-go.

That's the deal.

Thank you
for thinking of me.

Sounds really exciting.

Well, good.

It is exciting.

What's your name again?

Brajkovic.
Vladimir Brajkovic.

Right, of course it is.

He seems nice.

He is.

Does he know
what he's doing?

He's not a real manager or anything,
but he has done a lot for me.

We can do a lot more.

Five, six, seven, eight.

So, lift over, up.

Taking your head over
and around.

Back, side, and to side, side.

And then we'll move
into the lift.

- What do you reckon?
- Sorry. Um...

Yeah, I'm sorry, this...

It's just a little...

Um...

Awkward?

Yeah.

Okay, what about
something a bit more simple?

So...

we are on opposite sides
of the stage...

and then we walk to one another.

Then meet in the center.

Then we lean in...

And I lean in like I'm...

I'm gonna kiss her.

And just as I get to here,

the rest of
the contestants enter

and they break the moment.

Um,
and what about the lift?

Maybe cut the lift.

Okay.

Great.

And then, for the end
show, try this jacket.

Um...

Pink looks so good on you,
so...

I think the tones are gonna be great.
And then the skirt.

You know, if you sign this,
you are signing me out of your life.

Stop being dramatic.

I'm not.

Have you read it? Huh?

It's bad contract.
You sign away everything.

Keyan signed it.

He's doing all right,
if you ask me.

Yeah, yeah.

Shouldn't be going out.

Should be resting your voice.

You're the one that told me
to be more social.

Da, but not the night
before the show.

I'll just go for an hour.

What do you think?

Good.

Too much makeup.

They said I might
be able to keep the shoes.

Don't look so worried.
I'm not even leaving the hotel.

Uh, maybe
I should come with you, huh?

No. That's weird.

- You have your phone?
- Mm-hmm.

No drinks.

Hey, you too.

And we need to talk
about this.

She's out of it, mate.

Don't touch me! Hey!

Vlad!

Put her down!

You're drunk!

So are you!

- He was taking advantage.
- Stop.

Get off me!

You came to me, remember? Huh?

I was desperate!

Yeah, we've been here two days and
it's already going to your head.

I'm signing the contract.

- Where are you going?
- To find a drink.

Do whatever you want.

Don't come back!

I won't.

Good!

Okay. Um...

It's a gold crucifix.

Yes, yes.

Um...

Just if you see it.

Yes, call Yuriy
or Angela at the TS team.

Okay, thank you, thank you.

I've called the lost
and found at the hotel.

I'm sure someone will have it.

Doesn't she look like, uh,
that one in the film about, um, robots?

It's, like, three robots...

Where have you been? You were
supposed to be here an hour ago.

Sorry.

I overslept.

Where's Vlad?

He's not here?

Go ahead. That's
the last one for Roxy, please.

Miss Kimber,
you're gorgeous, you can sing,

you're obviously very comfortable
in front of the cameras,

what's next for you
after tonight's performance?

A long, hot bath and...

a cheeseburger.

Any questions
for our other contestants?

Anyone?

I think that...

Sorry.

Bad time?

No, I...

Keyan told me about
the, uh, incident, last night.

Sounds like it was
very embarrassing for everyone.

Yeah.

He's upset, understandably,
but I spoke to him

and he's agreed
not to make a fuss.

Thank you.

Vlad just gets
a little drunk sometimes.

He's a teddy bear, really.

Oh. No, of course.

Look, who you make friends with,
it's none of my business.

My business is making sure
that talented people like you

get what they want.

How do you know what I want?

I don't.

You're right.

You tell me.

Why did you enter
this competition?

I like to sing.

Well, yes. Well, a lot
of people like to sing.

You can sing.

But the reality is...

you're
an inexperienced performer

with a Polish name
and a posh accent,

entering a competition
that relies on the public vote.

Now... let's imagine,
just hypothetically,

you pull off a win.

Well, then what? Hmm?

What's the best-case scenario
in that outcome?

- I get a record deal.
- You get a record deal.

You've already won.

All you need to do is sign.

You know...

life comes down
to these moments, Violet.

Don't take them for granted.

Oh...

I nearly forgot.

I found your necklace.

Ten-minute warning.

If you see Vlad...

I'll tell him you're here.

Ladies and gentlemen,
boys and girls,

welcome to
the UK Teen Spirit finals!

Streaming for the first time

to over a hundred countries
worldwide.

Pretty good.

Somebody turn up
the volume, huh?

...have been through the most
rigorous selection process

to stand on this stage
for you tonight.

And now it's up to you, the
audience, to decide their fate.

So, without further ado,

let's welcome to the stage last
year's winner, Keyan Spears,

and our Teen Spirit finalists.

Thanks, Yuriy.

You look like shit.

I haven't showered.

Lost my room key.

Don't disappear again.

The crowd is loud,
so I told Louise not to hold back.

And you don't look
in camera,

it makes
the audience uncomfortable.

Make sure you focus on your
breathing like we practiced.

Good.

I didn't sign.

You were right.

Uh, what did she say?

She was nice about it.

I'll probably regret it forever.

Thank you for coming back.

I'm sorry.

Me too.

Thanks.

I will wait for you.

It's time.

And one, two, three,
four, five, six, seven, eight.
