Body Odyssey (2023) Movie Script
1
Biceps.
Lats.
Lower back.
Profile.
Hold.
Smile.
Turn around.
Looking good.
Let's keep this up.
Well done.
Hey, that's for you.
Thanks.
So will it be 51 today?
Yes.
You'll be growing wings soon.
I'm ready to fly.
All right, I meant
to ask you, could you
give me a few pointers later?
I thought maybe I
could change my gainer.
Maybe you should
change your mindset.
How do you get like this?
He doesn't love his body.
You can do it.
Breathe.
And 51.
Beautiful.
Does it hurt?
No.
And here?
No.
I feel a tingle there.
OK, you can get that now.
Can it be treated?
Well, the swelling
of your clitoris
is because of the
hormonal supplements.
I know that.
How long have you
been taking steroids?
Eight years.
And which ones?
Always the same.
I know how they work.
I'm not sure you do.
You see, our body is
very finely balanced.
I always listen to my
body, every day, every hour.
Yes, but this
imbalance could lead
to irreversible consequences.
And I'm not only talking
about your period.
I'm talking about hair loss,
baldness, sprained ligaments
and tendons, jaundice.
You know that the eyes,
they become yellow,
and the liver gives out.
And not to mention all the
psychological and physical
addiction that you can have.
And an overworked heart,
hardened and skin, womb cancer.
Mona, Body Universe,
Miss Body Universe.
We've been selected.
As of tomorrow, we
have exactly 90 days.
You need to lose 7 kilos.
We'll start by
working the sartorius,
the thighs, the trapezius.
We need to define
what we have built.
Carbohydrates will be
reduced every 10 days.
We'll keep proteins as they
are during the first phase.
Obviously, no sugars or fats
throughout your preparation.
Three liters of water a day.
As for the second phase,
we'll add steroids.
Solid foods will be
kept to a minimum
with some days of fasting.
I'll decide on the exceptions.
As for your training, we'll
follow the usual three programs
but double the workloads.
We'll add some extra
sessions along the way
to refine your appearance.
By the end, you'll be 70 kilos
of toned skin and muscle.
The gynecologist said it
might cause complications.
You have control of your body.
It's my last chance.
Shh.
Shh.
Shh.
We can't see each
other for a while.
Oh, how come?
I finished my
course of steroids.
I need to alternate
between on and off periods.
So when can we see
each other again?
Patient
number 37 to Dr. Anders.
How was it?
Did he cum?
Yes, I feel much better.
I think he's got
a bit of a crush.
I'll have a word with
him before the next course.
Maybe we are using him.
Let's wait and see.
Don't worry.
If he becomes a problem,
I'll find someone else.
Vitamins and fiber, the
strength of the Earth.
I know you want fats,
but it's not time yet.
Proteins.
Promise me they'll
go to the thighs.
They always lag behind.
Wait.
The two of
you seem like people
with excellent taste.
At a 10, that is one of
our most popular items.
And as a matter of fact,
just because it's you,
I'm going to let you try some.
Absolute gem.
Do you thicken it?
Oh, a man who knows his stuff.
Yes, this is a new formula.
And as you can see, it dries
instantly, it hydrates the skin,
and it's not oil.
Now, we are the first
to use this new formula.
Look at Ushakova.
She's in perfect shape.
Hey, Mona Staltz?
Yep.
I'm Lars.
It's-- it's an
honor to meet you.
Can we take a picture together?
Sure.
Awesome, thank you.
So are you preparing
for Body Universe?
Mm-hmm.
Ah-huh.
Which phase of training
are you moving into now?
It's about the mindset.
Right, cool.
You look incredible.
God, just look at you.
You're-- you're perfect.
Even your femoris are
perfectly balanced.
I'm wondering whether
you'd like to--
whether you'd like to maybe do a
private photo shoot in the nude?
Very tasteful, of course.
Just so I can study you.
And maybe give you
a little massage.
Massage you a little bit.
You'd like that?
Hey, you just name your price.
Sorry, but I don't do
that kind of performance.
Well, you're
a perfect creation.
Mona.
See you later.
You just need to give
me six days notice.
That's how long
the shipping takes.
But they're insane.
Listen, Sven,
call your contact.
We need to stock up.
What's wrong with
the usual steroids
They're not strong enough.
But I've used them
before, and they're legal.
Obviously, it's your
choice, Mona but these things
are on another level.
With them, you'll
be through the roof.
I can manage on my own.
Tanya Ushakova takes them.
I'm much better than her.
Mona, this is
Miss Body Universe.
I assure you, Lukas has
never been in such great shape.
Sarah is a good coach.
And you have a better one.
And I say, we need this stuff.
Welcome, wayfarer.
Your destiny is
engraved into your skin.
Love and life lines are
inextricably intertwined.
Your strength is
in your tenacity.
But beware, wayfarer.
Perfectionism is
a dangerous state
of mind in this imperfect world.
A new presence is
seeping into your life.
You must be strong and resist.
It's fatal attraction.
But do not be afraid.
Everything you will lose
when you return anew,
retain a radiance, perhaps
sooner than you think.
You should leave.
You'll get sick.
I'm not no man.
The cold relieves any tension
in each and every muscle.
It relaxes me.
It awakens my strength.
Every sacrifice I make is
for you, for your sake.
I do whatever you ask of me.
Talk to me.
Tell me what you
need, what you want.
You look good.
I saw Lukas.
He's in fine shape.
The new steroids
are really helping.
I'm on track.
I'm really focused.
Have you heard
from the dentist?
No, I'm not seeing
Anders anymore.
Perhaps you should give
him a call now that we're
starting a new course.
No.
If you want someone younger,
there are agencies for that.
They send you a catalog,
and you choose who you wish.
They're professionals.
You deserve the best.
I don't pay for sex.
You're throwing it all away.
Good morning.
Good morning.
This is Mona.
So pleased to meet you.
Hello.
Nice to meet you.
Have you ordered?
No.
What can I get for you?
Two coffees, please.
I'll have an espresso, please,
and a slice of chocolate gateau.
One liter of water, please.
Room temperature.
Right.
So what are we talking
about, this photo shoot?
Well, as well
as a photo shoot,
we're planning a commercial.
And we would like
Miss Mona to be
the official face of the brand.
Well, that's fine.
But how many days
will this take?
Two days plus travel.
Three nights in total.
Well, that should be
fine, so long as there's
a gym at our disposal.
Absolutely.
We can arrange that.
I can send you some photos
if you'd like of the gym.
How many hours of training will
Mona required during the shoot?
We can make it work
with two shorter sessions
before and after the shoot.
I'm sorry.
I'll be right back.
So let's get down to business.
I'm not going.
Stop, stop, stop.
Nic.
Stop, stop, stop.
Nic.
Stop.
Look there.
Nic.
Hey, stop it, all right?
Let's see, hey.
There's a lizard
in the solarium.
A lizard?
Yeah.
I'll tell the
manager straight away.
They were doing work
in there last week.
Can you tell me where it was?
It slipped behind
the central bench.
OK, just a moment.
Maintenance are out.
Sorry.
OK.
A turbulent
period is approaching.
It will not be easy
to accept or to live.
But after the initial
disappointment,
you will find you
have firm roots.
Do not be intimidated by
obstacles along the way.
Good relationships take time.
Be careful of Gemini.
Under the moon's influence, they
will become elusive this month.
I knew he was a Gemini.
--to
follow a relationship that,
despite all things
considered, works
despite the occasional bump
due to the nature of Taurus all
to attempt a radical
transformation,
albeit at the cost of a
clean break with the past.
A lot depends on
how capable you are.
I need sugar.
Yeah, man, sure.
The judges couldn't
stop staring at you.
You're in perfect shape.
Keep pumping.
This bronzer is a perfect
fit for your body.
This is my day.
It works.
It's great.
Great.
OK.
Go.
That's good.
Yeah, that's good.
Mona.
Hey, Marc.
You never came
to see me, bitch.
I'm sorry about the training.
I'm just kidding.
You look great.
You're not making a surprise
appearance, are you?
No, no.
We came to watch.
What an honor.
We should go running someday.
Not before
the competition.
We still have too
much work to do.
You look almost ready though.
I've never seen you as
fit as you look now.
Look at her calves.
Look at her thighs.
We're not there yet.
Only an athlete can
feel the body changes.
Am I right, Kurt?
We have to go.
We'll be cheering you on.
Good luck.
Bye, guys.
Here it is.
You're there.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, we got this.
I've ordered the steroids
for when you change your mind.
I'm not changing my mind.
Hi, guys.
Hi.
How are you doing?
Almost due.
So many things to think about.
You look in
great shape, Lukas.
Thanks, man.
Working hard.
Sven has the best stuff,
but there's still work to do.
Sara.
When he comes into
the world, his dad
will be as hard as a diamond.
And his mom will
be soft as Jelly.
Ladies and gentlemen, thank
you all for coming to the 20th
edition of the Over 50s
Bodybuilding Grand Prix.
These great athletes
are here to show you
that time does not exist, that
there are no limits for those
who train hard.
They are ready to perform
after months, years,
entire lives of commitment
and sacrifice because this
is about taking care
of your own body
and getting into
extraordinary shape.
The show is about to begin.
Remind you that the hashtag
for this year is old but gold.
And now, ladies and gentlemen,
before we actually begin,
I'd like to introduce
to you, our champions.
Gentlemen.
Look at them.
They have an implacable energy.
Nothing or no one can stop them.
This, ladies and gentlemen,
is the making of champions,
of people who never give up.
The strength, people pushed
their limits every day
and never looked back.
That's right.
They're huge.
They're living proof
that you can always
grow and better yourself.
I have never seen
anything like that.
What a sight.
These muscles are spectacular.
Well, let me tell you,
they are all fantastic.
They're all heroes.
But there's only one place.
Who will come out on top?
Who will be crowned this
year's winner of the Over 50s
Bodybuilder Grand Prix?
As you can see, our
champs are raring to go.
They cannot wait to
perform their grooms.
Now, remember, it's always
more difficult on first.
We have to break the ice.
So I want to hear a
warm welcome for--
oh.
Oh, my gosh.
Please, please, stand back.
Let the staff through.
Obviously, the
show is suspended.
Please make your
way to the point.
He should have
done more cardio.
Stand back.
Let the medical staff through.
Thank you.
Come on.
Come on.
Let's go.
He's dead.
Protect me.
The bell rings.
Stokes comes out all guns
blazing, leaving her opponent
no way out.
She feels no pain.
Her opponent tries to fight
back, but she soon gives up.
Kurt's wrong.
You don't need that stuff.
No, listen to me.
We can do it without that.
You don't need
to be afraid of physical contact
pain or getting bruised.
If you are, then this
sport isn't for you.
You need to have
an inner strength.
I'm not done with
this sport yet.
I don't know what
will happen, but I
keep fighting until
I can't walk anymore.
You've
trained only with men.
It's funny.
Men usually look
at women's legs.
In my case, they look at my ass.
Why should I hide them?
I do so much training.
Why shouldn't I show them off?
In my case, they
look at my arms.
Why should I hide them?
I do so much training.
Why shouldn't I show them off?
Are you all right?
Touching
me is useless.
Kurt was killing us.
Marrow, dunes,
and craters, pulsations.
Cracks in a labyrinth of
tender, shapeless bones.
Fibrous mountains spiral
down on the boiling ocean.
The landscape is fracturing.
Relax.
There you go.
All done.
How is it?
Now we will see results.
Have you seen her shivering?
I mean, seriously.
As if she can feel the
cold with a body like that.
Ridiculous.
Oh, gosh, I
can't take it anymore.
So much drama.
She's faking it.
She's not going
to play the diva, is she?
We've only got
today to shoot this.
Look at her.
Jesus.
Looks like a man.
Fuck that.
No, thanks.
I'd never let
myself get like that.
Poor thing.
Come on.
She's not harming anyone.
My wife's pregnant.
I can't stand to
look at this shit.
I can't wait to
see the commercial.
I can still feel
the cold in my bones.
Don't worry.
You'll soon warm up.
Would you like
the dessert menu, sir?
We don't need it.
We'll take one of everything.
Thank you.
Enjoy it.
You've earned it.
We're ahead of schedule.
From tomorrow, we'll have
to work a little harder.
But it shouldn't be a
challenge, given the results.
Plasma.
Torn fragments.
Tissues.
A polymorphous wave drags
away lumps, trees, bubbles.
Reeds vibrate and
shake until they snap.
I thought you wanted it.
Fleshy corals fray.
The avalanche sweeps
everything away.
I'm sorry.
Yesterday was an exception.
Every exception is as important
as the training itself.
Come on, Mona, three more.
Good.
Very good.
Don't overdo it.
Let's take a break
for 10 minutes.
The relentless
stream of grease floods
gills and eradicates cartilage.
It will never drain.
Tendons.
Dust.
Stop!
You have to be precise.
Every little detail, every
fiber, each sprain matters.
Sculpt every muscle,
its shape, its firmness.
Picture in your
mind what happens
during the concentric
and eccentric phases--
the perfect symmetry
of your femoris,
the two halves of your body
reflecting each other exactly.
Carve your adductors,
your quadriceps.
Your face will stay young.
Look at every inch of your skin.
It is smooth, lean, solid.
Looking great, Mona.
Hey, Marc.
Who won the competition?
No one felt like carrying on.
Not even Oliveirie?
Not even him.
Coward.
I would have carried on.
The show must go on.
You would have won, Marc.
I did win.
How's the preparation going?
You disgust me.
You stink.
Touch it.
What are you eating, Mona?
What's your weight?
Are you thirsty?
Don't lose control.
Go.
Wait for me.
Run.
Wait for me.
Faster.
She's grown 2
centimeters in 10 days.
2 centimeters.
I think I'll make it red.
Yes, low contrast.
More vibrant.
What accessories could we add?
Anything you like.
Beads, sequins, maybe.
Nothing too flashy though.
Oh, Kurt, I can already
see her on a stage.
She's in-- she's in great shape.
Ushakova doesn't
stand a chance.
Oh, no.
No, she doesn't, does
she, my dear, Kurt?
She is superb.
Thou still
unravished bride of eternity,
thou foster child of silence
and slow time, forever panting
and for ever young.
All breathing human
passion far above.
A burning forehead
and a parching tongue.
When old age shall
this generation waste,
thou shalt remain in
midst of other war.
Than ours, a friend to
man to whom thou sayest.
Beauty is truth.
Truth.
Beauty.
That is all ye know on Earth
and all ye need to know.
Keats Diamonds.
Beauty is truth.
What name do you
give to your child?
Arnold.
What do you ask
of God's church?
Baptism.
And to you, godfather
and godmother,
are you willing to help the
parents in this extremely
important task?
Yes.
Yes.
Everything OK, guys?
Tell her.
She looks dreadful.
Calm down, Mona.
You say she
needs to get in shape.
And you need to eat.
You're not thinking straight.
I'm not eating anything.
Don't need it.
I told you.
We should have had
the celebration
after the competition.
Ash puddles stagnate
all over the spinal system.
A nest of algae and bacteria
poisons the acid sky.
The mold expands from the swamp.
Stop, stop, stop.
A glacier,
silver crystals float,
cradled by a crisp
breeze embracing since.
The soil's hair sway.
Caves palpitates gently.
The hill oozes fresh amber.
Hi.
I'm from the
environmental agency.
If I may, I would
like to ask you
a few questions about the lake,
seeing as you live nearby.
We are trying to
understand what's going on.
Of course.
Come in.
Where do your drains lead?
We're above board here.
They lead where all drains do.
When did you notice
the changes in the lake?
The haze is a recent thing,
but the algae and its gas
must have been there before.
Yeah, I think it was.
Yeah, when did it start?
I don't know.
Weeks?
Months?
Years?
Years.
The other day, we
went for a dip.
I often go with Nic.
We go diving.
In this state?
The lake
reawakens our senses.
It's an aphrodisiac.
I would advise you to
avoid the lake until we
understand the problem.
It could have an
effect on your health.
Does the water sting?
Have you ever had a rash
after swimming in it?
No, I'm absolutely fine.
Don't you think?
The acidity of the
water is increasing.
We have ruled out
industrial pollution.
Nature is transforming.
The lake is a sacred place.
Yes, but it's not a good sign.
We believe it could be a
fault line that is reopening.
The whole ecosystem is at risk.
Do you think I could ask
your husband a few questions.
Nic is my partner.
But he's going to
propose to me soon.
Congratulations.
We are going to adopt.
We are so happy.
The
glacier is breathing.
Do you feel it?
The snowstorm is here.
Silver crystals
float in the air.
Chanting.
Calling us.
Nic.
Caress the resin.
Taste the pollens.
Where are you hiding?
The
tide is blinding.
He is blinding.
He is here, all around us.
Nic.
Nic.
Nic.
Where are you?
The grass
oozes cool lymph.
His breath echoes
through the branches.
He awaits us.
This is the one.
This is the one for our routine.
No, it's too old.
I like it.
No, it doesn't work.
Hello.
Hello.
Is Nic home?
Oh, no.
He's-- he's out with friends.
Can I come in?
Maybe he'll be back soon.
Oh, yes, of course.
Please.
Pleased to meet you.
I'm Berthold.
Mona.
Nic's room is
upstairs, isn't it?
Oh, yes.
It's the one in the corner.
Can I see it?
His scent,
I can smell him.
He left the window open again.
Hello.
Hi.
What's your name?
OK, it's time for
homework, Lacey.
Come on.
Go, go, OK?
Something
to drink, perhaps?
Why don't you give him a call?
I don't have his number.
He didn't give you his number?
No.
We always know how
to find each other.
It's fate.
I'm sorry.
What's-- what's your name again?
Mona.
Maybe Nic has spoken about me.
I'm taking part in
Miss Body Universe.
I'm the favorite this year.
Well, he said he
was going out with--
His girlfriend.
Yes.
Yes.
I want to surprise him.
Well, we don't know
when he might be back, so.
Well, here, he
said he was going out--
With his girlfriend.
Yes.
Yeah.
I want to surprise him.
We don't know when
he might be back, so.
I know.
He's coming.
The alcohol burns.
How did you meet our Nicholas?
In a spa.
In a Turkish bath.
We were naked.
Sparks flew.
Nic is so beautiful.
Take me home.
No, wait.
I want to speak to them.
Maybe Nic has spoken about me.
I'm taking part in
Miss Body Universe.
I'm the favorite this year.
I am sorry.
We were just about to head out.
You-- you need to leave now.
Hey.
What are you doing?
Let's
go and find Nic.
No, we need to rest.
I don't-- I don't
know where she's going.
She's going upstairs.
I don't know.
Oh, fuck, Lacey's upstairs.
Lacey's upstairs.
Lacey's up there.
Can you do something about this?
We'll call the police.
You get down here.
You don't touch my daughter.
Can you hear that?
Come back.
The police
is on its way.
He doesn't look like you.
Will you come down?
Come down now!
I am talking to her.
Look, the police is coming.
We want you to come
down right now.
Breakdowns are normal.
You have to stay strong.
We're doing great.
Just a couple more days of
fasting, and we'll be ready.
I have some good news.
Ushakova has injured
herself during training.
She's pulling out.
It's no coincidence.
We're so close.
This next part is the hardest.
The shadows
under the seabed laments
echo through the abyss.
Alveoli, sponges, corals,
a smooth, gentle sack.
Everything sweats bubbles.
Oily, shiny shapes.
Everything sweats dust.
Waters glitter.
Waters quiver.
Waters cover you.
Dry forest.
Vortexes disrupt the current.
Flaming fluxes slither down
a web of rocky arteries.
Shatter the womb.
New springs swallow
up everything.
It all drifts away.
Flowers.
Meat.
Wine.
Melodies.
Yeast.
Fibers.
Juices.
Starch.
Gluten.
Reeds.
Corals.
Crispy.
Grease.
Resin.
Memory.
Effects.
Pain.
Pills.
Plasma.
Tissues.
Weight.
Lumps.
Free.
Bubbles.
Cartilage.
Dust.
Nic.
Wait.
What is this?
We look great
together, don't we?
What the fuck were
you doing in my place?
Don't you dare come back to
my house near my mom or my dad
ever again.
The time at the spa, I--
I was out of it.
Do you understand?
I'm not into you.
I'm not a faggot.
I'm sorry.
It's nothing serious.
If you want, we can--
we can do it online.
Have you ever done
it with a webcam?
Maybe we can message each
other once in a while.
We could-- could send
me a little treat.
Think about it.
A typhoon will
blow away the fragments,
the dark smoke, the remains.
Fields will bloom
with rare details.
Brushes will cleanse
the lymphatic springs.
Shapes will evolve, growing,
growing, growing, again.
New rivers.
New vessels.
New flesh.
A perfect symmetry.
Young, eternal.
Biceps.
Lats.
Lower back.
Profile.
Hold.
Smile.
Turn around.
Looking good.
Let's keep this up.
Well done.
Hey, that's for you.
Thanks.
So will it be 51 today?
Yes.
You'll be growing wings soon.
I'm ready to fly.
All right, I meant
to ask you, could you
give me a few pointers later?
I thought maybe I
could change my gainer.
Maybe you should
change your mindset.
How do you get like this?
He doesn't love his body.
You can do it.
Breathe.
And 51.
Beautiful.
Does it hurt?
No.
And here?
No.
I feel a tingle there.
OK, you can get that now.
Can it be treated?
Well, the swelling
of your clitoris
is because of the
hormonal supplements.
I know that.
How long have you
been taking steroids?
Eight years.
And which ones?
Always the same.
I know how they work.
I'm not sure you do.
You see, our body is
very finely balanced.
I always listen to my
body, every day, every hour.
Yes, but this
imbalance could lead
to irreversible consequences.
And I'm not only talking
about your period.
I'm talking about hair loss,
baldness, sprained ligaments
and tendons, jaundice.
You know that the eyes,
they become yellow,
and the liver gives out.
And not to mention all the
psychological and physical
addiction that you can have.
And an overworked heart,
hardened and skin, womb cancer.
Mona, Body Universe,
Miss Body Universe.
We've been selected.
As of tomorrow, we
have exactly 90 days.
You need to lose 7 kilos.
We'll start by
working the sartorius,
the thighs, the trapezius.
We need to define
what we have built.
Carbohydrates will be
reduced every 10 days.
We'll keep proteins as they
are during the first phase.
Obviously, no sugars or fats
throughout your preparation.
Three liters of water a day.
As for the second phase,
we'll add steroids.
Solid foods will be
kept to a minimum
with some days of fasting.
I'll decide on the exceptions.
As for your training, we'll
follow the usual three programs
but double the workloads.
We'll add some extra
sessions along the way
to refine your appearance.
By the end, you'll be 70 kilos
of toned skin and muscle.
The gynecologist said it
might cause complications.
You have control of your body.
It's my last chance.
Shh.
Shh.
Shh.
We can't see each
other for a while.
Oh, how come?
I finished my
course of steroids.
I need to alternate
between on and off periods.
So when can we see
each other again?
Patient
number 37 to Dr. Anders.
How was it?
Did he cum?
Yes, I feel much better.
I think he's got
a bit of a crush.
I'll have a word with
him before the next course.
Maybe we are using him.
Let's wait and see.
Don't worry.
If he becomes a problem,
I'll find someone else.
Vitamins and fiber, the
strength of the Earth.
I know you want fats,
but it's not time yet.
Proteins.
Promise me they'll
go to the thighs.
They always lag behind.
Wait.
The two of
you seem like people
with excellent taste.
At a 10, that is one of
our most popular items.
And as a matter of fact,
just because it's you,
I'm going to let you try some.
Absolute gem.
Do you thicken it?
Oh, a man who knows his stuff.
Yes, this is a new formula.
And as you can see, it dries
instantly, it hydrates the skin,
and it's not oil.
Now, we are the first
to use this new formula.
Look at Ushakova.
She's in perfect shape.
Hey, Mona Staltz?
Yep.
I'm Lars.
It's-- it's an
honor to meet you.
Can we take a picture together?
Sure.
Awesome, thank you.
So are you preparing
for Body Universe?
Mm-hmm.
Ah-huh.
Which phase of training
are you moving into now?
It's about the mindset.
Right, cool.
You look incredible.
God, just look at you.
You're-- you're perfect.
Even your femoris are
perfectly balanced.
I'm wondering whether
you'd like to--
whether you'd like to maybe do a
private photo shoot in the nude?
Very tasteful, of course.
Just so I can study you.
And maybe give you
a little massage.
Massage you a little bit.
You'd like that?
Hey, you just name your price.
Sorry, but I don't do
that kind of performance.
Well, you're
a perfect creation.
Mona.
See you later.
You just need to give
me six days notice.
That's how long
the shipping takes.
But they're insane.
Listen, Sven,
call your contact.
We need to stock up.
What's wrong with
the usual steroids
They're not strong enough.
But I've used them
before, and they're legal.
Obviously, it's your
choice, Mona but these things
are on another level.
With them, you'll
be through the roof.
I can manage on my own.
Tanya Ushakova takes them.
I'm much better than her.
Mona, this is
Miss Body Universe.
I assure you, Lukas has
never been in such great shape.
Sarah is a good coach.
And you have a better one.
And I say, we need this stuff.
Welcome, wayfarer.
Your destiny is
engraved into your skin.
Love and life lines are
inextricably intertwined.
Your strength is
in your tenacity.
But beware, wayfarer.
Perfectionism is
a dangerous state
of mind in this imperfect world.
A new presence is
seeping into your life.
You must be strong and resist.
It's fatal attraction.
But do not be afraid.
Everything you will lose
when you return anew,
retain a radiance, perhaps
sooner than you think.
You should leave.
You'll get sick.
I'm not no man.
The cold relieves any tension
in each and every muscle.
It relaxes me.
It awakens my strength.
Every sacrifice I make is
for you, for your sake.
I do whatever you ask of me.
Talk to me.
Tell me what you
need, what you want.
You look good.
I saw Lukas.
He's in fine shape.
The new steroids
are really helping.
I'm on track.
I'm really focused.
Have you heard
from the dentist?
No, I'm not seeing
Anders anymore.
Perhaps you should give
him a call now that we're
starting a new course.
No.
If you want someone younger,
there are agencies for that.
They send you a catalog,
and you choose who you wish.
They're professionals.
You deserve the best.
I don't pay for sex.
You're throwing it all away.
Good morning.
Good morning.
This is Mona.
So pleased to meet you.
Hello.
Nice to meet you.
Have you ordered?
No.
What can I get for you?
Two coffees, please.
I'll have an espresso, please,
and a slice of chocolate gateau.
One liter of water, please.
Room temperature.
Right.
So what are we talking
about, this photo shoot?
Well, as well
as a photo shoot,
we're planning a commercial.
And we would like
Miss Mona to be
the official face of the brand.
Well, that's fine.
But how many days
will this take?
Two days plus travel.
Three nights in total.
Well, that should be
fine, so long as there's
a gym at our disposal.
Absolutely.
We can arrange that.
I can send you some photos
if you'd like of the gym.
How many hours of training will
Mona required during the shoot?
We can make it work
with two shorter sessions
before and after the shoot.
I'm sorry.
I'll be right back.
So let's get down to business.
I'm not going.
Stop, stop, stop.
Nic.
Stop, stop, stop.
Nic.
Stop.
Look there.
Nic.
Hey, stop it, all right?
Let's see, hey.
There's a lizard
in the solarium.
A lizard?
Yeah.
I'll tell the
manager straight away.
They were doing work
in there last week.
Can you tell me where it was?
It slipped behind
the central bench.
OK, just a moment.
Maintenance are out.
Sorry.
OK.
A turbulent
period is approaching.
It will not be easy
to accept or to live.
But after the initial
disappointment,
you will find you
have firm roots.
Do not be intimidated by
obstacles along the way.
Good relationships take time.
Be careful of Gemini.
Under the moon's influence, they
will become elusive this month.
I knew he was a Gemini.
--to
follow a relationship that,
despite all things
considered, works
despite the occasional bump
due to the nature of Taurus all
to attempt a radical
transformation,
albeit at the cost of a
clean break with the past.
A lot depends on
how capable you are.
I need sugar.
Yeah, man, sure.
The judges couldn't
stop staring at you.
You're in perfect shape.
Keep pumping.
This bronzer is a perfect
fit for your body.
This is my day.
It works.
It's great.
Great.
OK.
Go.
That's good.
Yeah, that's good.
Mona.
Hey, Marc.
You never came
to see me, bitch.
I'm sorry about the training.
I'm just kidding.
You look great.
You're not making a surprise
appearance, are you?
No, no.
We came to watch.
What an honor.
We should go running someday.
Not before
the competition.
We still have too
much work to do.
You look almost ready though.
I've never seen you as
fit as you look now.
Look at her calves.
Look at her thighs.
We're not there yet.
Only an athlete can
feel the body changes.
Am I right, Kurt?
We have to go.
We'll be cheering you on.
Good luck.
Bye, guys.
Here it is.
You're there.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, we got this.
I've ordered the steroids
for when you change your mind.
I'm not changing my mind.
Hi, guys.
Hi.
How are you doing?
Almost due.
So many things to think about.
You look in
great shape, Lukas.
Thanks, man.
Working hard.
Sven has the best stuff,
but there's still work to do.
Sara.
When he comes into
the world, his dad
will be as hard as a diamond.
And his mom will
be soft as Jelly.
Ladies and gentlemen, thank
you all for coming to the 20th
edition of the Over 50s
Bodybuilding Grand Prix.
These great athletes
are here to show you
that time does not exist, that
there are no limits for those
who train hard.
They are ready to perform
after months, years,
entire lives of commitment
and sacrifice because this
is about taking care
of your own body
and getting into
extraordinary shape.
The show is about to begin.
Remind you that the hashtag
for this year is old but gold.
And now, ladies and gentlemen,
before we actually begin,
I'd like to introduce
to you, our champions.
Gentlemen.
Look at them.
They have an implacable energy.
Nothing or no one can stop them.
This, ladies and gentlemen,
is the making of champions,
of people who never give up.
The strength, people pushed
their limits every day
and never looked back.
That's right.
They're huge.
They're living proof
that you can always
grow and better yourself.
I have never seen
anything like that.
What a sight.
These muscles are spectacular.
Well, let me tell you,
they are all fantastic.
They're all heroes.
But there's only one place.
Who will come out on top?
Who will be crowned this
year's winner of the Over 50s
Bodybuilder Grand Prix?
As you can see, our
champs are raring to go.
They cannot wait to
perform their grooms.
Now, remember, it's always
more difficult on first.
We have to break the ice.
So I want to hear a
warm welcome for--
oh.
Oh, my gosh.
Please, please, stand back.
Let the staff through.
Obviously, the
show is suspended.
Please make your
way to the point.
He should have
done more cardio.
Stand back.
Let the medical staff through.
Thank you.
Come on.
Come on.
Let's go.
He's dead.
Protect me.
The bell rings.
Stokes comes out all guns
blazing, leaving her opponent
no way out.
She feels no pain.
Her opponent tries to fight
back, but she soon gives up.
Kurt's wrong.
You don't need that stuff.
No, listen to me.
We can do it without that.
You don't need
to be afraid of physical contact
pain or getting bruised.
If you are, then this
sport isn't for you.
You need to have
an inner strength.
I'm not done with
this sport yet.
I don't know what
will happen, but I
keep fighting until
I can't walk anymore.
You've
trained only with men.
It's funny.
Men usually look
at women's legs.
In my case, they look at my ass.
Why should I hide them?
I do so much training.
Why shouldn't I show them off?
In my case, they
look at my arms.
Why should I hide them?
I do so much training.
Why shouldn't I show them off?
Are you all right?
Touching
me is useless.
Kurt was killing us.
Marrow, dunes,
and craters, pulsations.
Cracks in a labyrinth of
tender, shapeless bones.
Fibrous mountains spiral
down on the boiling ocean.
The landscape is fracturing.
Relax.
There you go.
All done.
How is it?
Now we will see results.
Have you seen her shivering?
I mean, seriously.
As if she can feel the
cold with a body like that.
Ridiculous.
Oh, gosh, I
can't take it anymore.
So much drama.
She's faking it.
She's not going
to play the diva, is she?
We've only got
today to shoot this.
Look at her.
Jesus.
Looks like a man.
Fuck that.
No, thanks.
I'd never let
myself get like that.
Poor thing.
Come on.
She's not harming anyone.
My wife's pregnant.
I can't stand to
look at this shit.
I can't wait to
see the commercial.
I can still feel
the cold in my bones.
Don't worry.
You'll soon warm up.
Would you like
the dessert menu, sir?
We don't need it.
We'll take one of everything.
Thank you.
Enjoy it.
You've earned it.
We're ahead of schedule.
From tomorrow, we'll have
to work a little harder.
But it shouldn't be a
challenge, given the results.
Plasma.
Torn fragments.
Tissues.
A polymorphous wave drags
away lumps, trees, bubbles.
Reeds vibrate and
shake until they snap.
I thought you wanted it.
Fleshy corals fray.
The avalanche sweeps
everything away.
I'm sorry.
Yesterday was an exception.
Every exception is as important
as the training itself.
Come on, Mona, three more.
Good.
Very good.
Don't overdo it.
Let's take a break
for 10 minutes.
The relentless
stream of grease floods
gills and eradicates cartilage.
It will never drain.
Tendons.
Dust.
Stop!
You have to be precise.
Every little detail, every
fiber, each sprain matters.
Sculpt every muscle,
its shape, its firmness.
Picture in your
mind what happens
during the concentric
and eccentric phases--
the perfect symmetry
of your femoris,
the two halves of your body
reflecting each other exactly.
Carve your adductors,
your quadriceps.
Your face will stay young.
Look at every inch of your skin.
It is smooth, lean, solid.
Looking great, Mona.
Hey, Marc.
Who won the competition?
No one felt like carrying on.
Not even Oliveirie?
Not even him.
Coward.
I would have carried on.
The show must go on.
You would have won, Marc.
I did win.
How's the preparation going?
You disgust me.
You stink.
Touch it.
What are you eating, Mona?
What's your weight?
Are you thirsty?
Don't lose control.
Go.
Wait for me.
Run.
Wait for me.
Faster.
She's grown 2
centimeters in 10 days.
2 centimeters.
I think I'll make it red.
Yes, low contrast.
More vibrant.
What accessories could we add?
Anything you like.
Beads, sequins, maybe.
Nothing too flashy though.
Oh, Kurt, I can already
see her on a stage.
She's in-- she's in great shape.
Ushakova doesn't
stand a chance.
Oh, no.
No, she doesn't, does
she, my dear, Kurt?
She is superb.
Thou still
unravished bride of eternity,
thou foster child of silence
and slow time, forever panting
and for ever young.
All breathing human
passion far above.
A burning forehead
and a parching tongue.
When old age shall
this generation waste,
thou shalt remain in
midst of other war.
Than ours, a friend to
man to whom thou sayest.
Beauty is truth.
Truth.
Beauty.
That is all ye know on Earth
and all ye need to know.
Keats Diamonds.
Beauty is truth.
What name do you
give to your child?
Arnold.
What do you ask
of God's church?
Baptism.
And to you, godfather
and godmother,
are you willing to help the
parents in this extremely
important task?
Yes.
Yes.
Everything OK, guys?
Tell her.
She looks dreadful.
Calm down, Mona.
You say she
needs to get in shape.
And you need to eat.
You're not thinking straight.
I'm not eating anything.
Don't need it.
I told you.
We should have had
the celebration
after the competition.
Ash puddles stagnate
all over the spinal system.
A nest of algae and bacteria
poisons the acid sky.
The mold expands from the swamp.
Stop, stop, stop.
A glacier,
silver crystals float,
cradled by a crisp
breeze embracing since.
The soil's hair sway.
Caves palpitates gently.
The hill oozes fresh amber.
Hi.
I'm from the
environmental agency.
If I may, I would
like to ask you
a few questions about the lake,
seeing as you live nearby.
We are trying to
understand what's going on.
Of course.
Come in.
Where do your drains lead?
We're above board here.
They lead where all drains do.
When did you notice
the changes in the lake?
The haze is a recent thing,
but the algae and its gas
must have been there before.
Yeah, I think it was.
Yeah, when did it start?
I don't know.
Weeks?
Months?
Years?
Years.
The other day, we
went for a dip.
I often go with Nic.
We go diving.
In this state?
The lake
reawakens our senses.
It's an aphrodisiac.
I would advise you to
avoid the lake until we
understand the problem.
It could have an
effect on your health.
Does the water sting?
Have you ever had a rash
after swimming in it?
No, I'm absolutely fine.
Don't you think?
The acidity of the
water is increasing.
We have ruled out
industrial pollution.
Nature is transforming.
The lake is a sacred place.
Yes, but it's not a good sign.
We believe it could be a
fault line that is reopening.
The whole ecosystem is at risk.
Do you think I could ask
your husband a few questions.
Nic is my partner.
But he's going to
propose to me soon.
Congratulations.
We are going to adopt.
We are so happy.
The
glacier is breathing.
Do you feel it?
The snowstorm is here.
Silver crystals
float in the air.
Chanting.
Calling us.
Nic.
Caress the resin.
Taste the pollens.
Where are you hiding?
The
tide is blinding.
He is blinding.
He is here, all around us.
Nic.
Nic.
Nic.
Where are you?
The grass
oozes cool lymph.
His breath echoes
through the branches.
He awaits us.
This is the one.
This is the one for our routine.
No, it's too old.
I like it.
No, it doesn't work.
Hello.
Hello.
Is Nic home?
Oh, no.
He's-- he's out with friends.
Can I come in?
Maybe he'll be back soon.
Oh, yes, of course.
Please.
Pleased to meet you.
I'm Berthold.
Mona.
Nic's room is
upstairs, isn't it?
Oh, yes.
It's the one in the corner.
Can I see it?
His scent,
I can smell him.
He left the window open again.
Hello.
Hi.
What's your name?
OK, it's time for
homework, Lacey.
Come on.
Go, go, OK?
Something
to drink, perhaps?
Why don't you give him a call?
I don't have his number.
He didn't give you his number?
No.
We always know how
to find each other.
It's fate.
I'm sorry.
What's-- what's your name again?
Mona.
Maybe Nic has spoken about me.
I'm taking part in
Miss Body Universe.
I'm the favorite this year.
Well, he said he
was going out with--
His girlfriend.
Yes.
Yes.
I want to surprise him.
Well, we don't know
when he might be back, so.
Well, here, he
said he was going out--
With his girlfriend.
Yes.
Yeah.
I want to surprise him.
We don't know when
he might be back, so.
I know.
He's coming.
The alcohol burns.
How did you meet our Nicholas?
In a spa.
In a Turkish bath.
We were naked.
Sparks flew.
Nic is so beautiful.
Take me home.
No, wait.
I want to speak to them.
Maybe Nic has spoken about me.
I'm taking part in
Miss Body Universe.
I'm the favorite this year.
I am sorry.
We were just about to head out.
You-- you need to leave now.
Hey.
What are you doing?
Let's
go and find Nic.
No, we need to rest.
I don't-- I don't
know where she's going.
She's going upstairs.
I don't know.
Oh, fuck, Lacey's upstairs.
Lacey's upstairs.
Lacey's up there.
Can you do something about this?
We'll call the police.
You get down here.
You don't touch my daughter.
Can you hear that?
Come back.
The police
is on its way.
He doesn't look like you.
Will you come down?
Come down now!
I am talking to her.
Look, the police is coming.
We want you to come
down right now.
Breakdowns are normal.
You have to stay strong.
We're doing great.
Just a couple more days of
fasting, and we'll be ready.
I have some good news.
Ushakova has injured
herself during training.
She's pulling out.
It's no coincidence.
We're so close.
This next part is the hardest.
The shadows
under the seabed laments
echo through the abyss.
Alveoli, sponges, corals,
a smooth, gentle sack.
Everything sweats bubbles.
Oily, shiny shapes.
Everything sweats dust.
Waters glitter.
Waters quiver.
Waters cover you.
Dry forest.
Vortexes disrupt the current.
Flaming fluxes slither down
a web of rocky arteries.
Shatter the womb.
New springs swallow
up everything.
It all drifts away.
Flowers.
Meat.
Wine.
Melodies.
Yeast.
Fibers.
Juices.
Starch.
Gluten.
Reeds.
Corals.
Crispy.
Grease.
Resin.
Memory.
Effects.
Pain.
Pills.
Plasma.
Tissues.
Weight.
Lumps.
Free.
Bubbles.
Cartilage.
Dust.
Nic.
Wait.
What is this?
We look great
together, don't we?
What the fuck were
you doing in my place?
Don't you dare come back to
my house near my mom or my dad
ever again.
The time at the spa, I--
I was out of it.
Do you understand?
I'm not into you.
I'm not a faggot.
I'm sorry.
It's nothing serious.
If you want, we can--
we can do it online.
Have you ever done
it with a webcam?
Maybe we can message each
other once in a while.
We could-- could send
me a little treat.
Think about it.
A typhoon will
blow away the fragments,
the dark smoke, the remains.
Fields will bloom
with rare details.
Brushes will cleanse
the lymphatic springs.
Shapes will evolve, growing,
growing, growing, again.
New rivers.
New vessels.
New flesh.
A perfect symmetry.
Young, eternal.
