Endless Summer Syndrome (2023) Movie Script

Was everything going
well at home, Adia?
Would you like to have
some water?
Did you notice anything unusual
at home before the incident?
Anything unusual about
your parents on Sunday?
FRIDAY
We know that these initiatives
with their non-profit appearances
have diminished our responsibility
to hashtags and trends,
What is needed is concrete
reform in schools
to educate our children about
their rights from an early age,
Just to add one last note again,
Family is the first place where
a child learns about violence,
Like many in France,
I have a multinational family myself,
and I know that the value
of one's life,
regardless of their race, class
and background,
is something you have to learn
at home first,
It's only then that we can
address schools firmly,
and expect a change,
Thank you very much for this
enlightening talk, Mrs, Denicourt,
We hope that all your efforts lead
to many constructive changes,
to legislation both in schools
and in our parliament,
Thanks,
Thanks everyone for joining our talk,
I hope you enjoyed it,
Have a nice weekend,
Stealing my recipes again?
Yes,
How did the talk go?
It went well, I think,
It went well up until it
was over,
But then it felt like it didn't
happen at all,
I felt so lonely all of a sudden,
-How is the cocktail?
-Good,
Add a bit more mint,
Okay,
-Make one for Aslan too,
-Aslan? He doesn't drink,
He's leaving in two days,
He'd better drink with me,
Aslan?
Aslan?
Don't touch this part,
Bob doesn't like it,
-Too intimate?
-Yes,
And if I use my tongue?
He will cum in your mouth,
He's cumming all over
my arm already,
You horny fuck!
Bob doesn't eat much,
okay?
So Lily, once a day,
Ariel, twice a day, And I clean their shit
every three days,
-And I take them out once a week,
-Yes, Except for Lily,
I know, That's why
I didn't mention her,
Lily is a badass like me,
I'm not kidding, okay?
It touches you and you're dead,
I know, Relax,
Lily stays in,
Don't let them around
any direct light,
-Why?
-They are slow, They can burn,
I didn't know that,
I'm going out with Lara
tomorrow night,
What?
But I'll say goodbye to you
before I leave,
-Are you serious?
-Come on, What's the big deal?
You're coming back in a year,
And we'll snapchat every day,
Be very careful with the lid,
-It has to be properly closed,
-You're such a child,
Lara just broke up,
You know how she is,
She needs me around her,
It's serious,
-Good for her,
-You're so mean,
Get out, I need to change,
Oh,,, Take it easy,
Here he comes,
ladies and gentlemen,
Aslan, the Turkish delight,
who damaged his face on the bike,,,
Cut it out!
It was an accident,
Are you stupid or what?
I'm not meeting Lara,
You, bitch!
Yes, please!
Now get out, I really want
to change,
I've seen worse of you,
It's okay,
Okay!
it's going to be strange
without you,
Alright,
6,
Check this out,
Butterfly,
Butterfly?
That should be mine,
-You've got a monopoly on insects?
-You're just lucky,
36,
Bam! 23!
Zero for you,
Accueil has two Cs,
Accueil, Damn!
Accueil!
I like my accent,
We've found solutions to
all problems,
except for learning how to,,,
live,
Jean Cocteau!
Jean-Paul Charles Aymard Sartre,
Okay,
I lost,
Your problem is that you
play to win,
-One more game?
-No, I have to prepare the barbecue,
Okay,
Adia, pass me the lotion,
My hands are dry,,,
There you go!
Damn!
That's what happens to
those who play to win,
Keep laughing, you,,,
No, leave me alone,
I've got my phone here,
My phone!
You lunatics! My phone!
Come here quickly,
I'll save you,
Come!
If my phone dies,
I'll kill you,
-Soon, it's your turn,
-Don't you dare!
Real cocktails this time,
Oh, come on,
Dad's cocktail was
actually nice, mom,
Try this one, Ms, Expert,
-Aslan, I'll leave yours on the table,
-Alright!
So good as always!
The one for Adia has no alcohol,
Let's see if she notices,
How is it going?
I don't really know,
Sometimes it reads very well
and sometimes,,, very raw,
What does Louis think?
I told you, He loves it,
You told me he was reading it,
You didn't tell me what he thought,
I did,
But it's okay,
-He loves it,
-That's great,
I need to ask him again
when we're back in Paris,
This is your typical
postpartum psychosis,
No, it's just that,,,
I'm not even sure if
he read it properly,
He knows my books sell,
So he says all this,
But then all the reviews
come out,
You and the reviews again,
If I was like you,
I'd be a dead lawyer now,
-Hello?
-Hello Delphine,
I am calling you,,,
for a rather delicate matter,
Excuse me, who is this?
I am a colleague of Antoine,
And your name?
I'd rather not mention my name
because of what I'd like to tell you,
Look, madam, I'm having
a nice time with my family,
I won't talk to you if I
don't know who you are,
I won't take a lot of your time,
It's just that,,,
something happened on Tuesday
when we were out with colleagues,
Did Antoine tell you about
that night?
Brigitte, is it you?
No, I am not Brigitte,
I'm going to hang up if you
don't tell me who you are,
Give me one minute please,
It's really important,
Go ahead then,
So,,,
I was with Antoine and other
colleagues that night,
Antoine got very drunk,
By the end of the night,
he was vomiting in the bathroom,
I found him in the bathroom
and tried to help him,
I'm not sure if he remembers it,
And?
He said something then,
I don't know if he remembers it,
He was very drunk, He almost
passed out in the bathroom,
He was lying on the floor,,,
He said something,,,
I didn't understand him very well,
but it was something like,,,
He said he had something
going on,,,
with one of your children,
that it was wrong,
that he shouldn't be doing it,
Hello?
Are you still there?
Yes,
It may all be wrong,
I say a lot of stupid things
when I'm drunk,
But I thought I should
share it with you,
-I hope that,,,
-What do you mean exactly?
With one of my children?
I don't understand it,
What did he say exactly?
That's all he said,
He barely said it,
He was almost crying,
Look, I need your name,
Without it, you could be a psychopath
annoying me and my family,
-There are many of them these days,,,
-No, no, I assure you,
I've known Antoine for years,
He's somebody I like a lot,
I admire his work,
I have no intention of hurting you,
Believe me,
I'm not even sure if I did the right
thing telling you all this,
but I couldn't do it differently,
I won't disturb you any longer,
Goodbye,
ENDLESS SUMMER SYNDROME
-Hey Julien,
-Hey Delphine, How's it going?
Very well, thanks,
Can you track a phone number for me?
Sure!
For the Souleymane case?
-No, it's for another case,
-Okay, please send me the number,
-I'll send it to you now,
-Okay, thanks,
-Was it a direct call?
-Yes, That's what I was told,
-Then send me the call report as well,
-Alright,
Thanks, I'll send it to you
right away,
-Can you do it now please?
-I'll call you back in five minutes,
-Thanks!
-Welcome,
Bye,
I'm hungry,
Give me ten minutes
and I'll take care of it,
-What's on the menu?
-The chef's oily vegetable barbecue,
You really want me
to get fat, no?
How's your cocktail?
It's spicy,
I like yours better,
Yes Julien?
I'm afraid I don't have any
useful information,
How come?
The call is from a phone booth
in Paris,
Nothing more?
It's a phone booth
at Rue Traversire,
-Not far from Bastille,
-Rue Traversire?
-Rings a bell?
-Not really,
Can I ask you what type
of a phone call it was?
Apparently it's a typical,,,
family scam phone call,
One of the clients,
Please ask them to record
the call if it happens again,
I can tell you a lot more
if I listen to the call,
Sure,
-Thank you, Julien,
-Welcome, Bye, Delphine,
Bye,
Adia?
Adia?
-Yes?
-Don't use this towel, It's not clean,
-Okay,
-How was the cocktail?
Very nice,
Be careful with the sun,
It's too harsh today,
-It's okay, mom,
-Have you applied any sun cream?
-Yes, why?
-You're having a rash,
-Really?
-Yes,
You had it last summer too,
I don't see anything,
Wear a t-shirt, my dear,
It will get worse,
Damn,
Can you hand me my glass
of water please?
Yes,
-No, no, no,
-Adia! Adia!
Adia, just push him,
I'm wearing my glasses,
Push him!
No, no, no,
I'm wearing my glasses,
The water is cold,
Your turn,
-Asi, Asi!
-Oh, you scared me!
It looks funky here,
I'm going to miss it a lot,
-How is Bob?
-He's fine,
He's loving it here,
Right, Bob?
He's such a darling,
-Lily on the other hand,,,
-Leave her alone,
If only she wasn't so toxic,
We're all toxic,
You're not wrong,
Is it just weed or is there
tobacco, too?
It's light, Wanna try?
I'm shocked!
It looks good on you,
-I shouldn't do it,
-Come on, it's light,
My first joint with Asi,
Adia smokes with you too?
No,
-Never?
-She doesn't like it,
She's a girl of integrity,
-Integrity?
-Yes, an honest girl,
She's a badass,
Can't wait to see the poor boy
who falls for her,
She's going to be
a hell of a girlfriend,
This weed is good, Asi,
It is,
Is she seeing someone?
I don't know,
Come on,
You two are so close,
Why don't you ask her?
I will,
I thought you knew,
She's 17, She has something
going on for sure,
Sometimes I remember
when I was her age,
The things I did,
-I barely survived them,
-Yes?
I just want to make sure
she's safe,
I should spend more
time with her,
Does the joint make you,,,
paranoid?
-Do I sound paranoid now?
-A bit, yes,
Are we going to visit Aslan
in New York?
Yes,
-Have you been to New York?
-Yes,
With mom?
Can you scratch my chin please?
-Where?
-The tip of my chin is itchy,
-Like this?
-Yes, thank you,
Is it ugly?
-What's ugly?
-My neck,
-I don't see anything,
-No rashes?
-No, there's nothing,
-Are you sure? Take a look,
No, nothing,
Okay,
For you,
With all my heart,
-It's cute,
-Like me,
You look slightly better,
You know what?
I'll keep it close to my heart,
You should,
-Do you need this?
-No,
You'll see,
I'll make something even better,
You'll see,
What happened?
Nothing serious,
I burnt a plastic bottle
and it melted on me,
Stop moaning, It's okay,
Vitamin D?
Yeah, that's what I used when
I burnt myself, remember?
Except she is 35 years
younger than you,
Come with me,
I'm going to disinfect it,
But what does age have to do
with it?
Her skin is sensitive,
Can't you see?
Mom, it's okay,
It's nothing,
I will apply antiseptic
to your burn,
Come on,
Do you want a scar for
your whole life?
Listen to your mom,
Close the door,
Aw, it's cold!
Dry yourself off,
-Are you okay?
-Yes,
Something I need to
know, Adia?
What? What do you mean?
Are you hiding something
from me?
No, What's going on?
I think you know,
I just burnt myself,
That's what's going on,
That's enough, no?
-Are you sleeping with someone?
-No,
Stop lying,
I can see it in your eyes,
I'm not lying, Are you deaf?
Why do you have
condoms in your room?
-You're searching my room now?
-Answer my question,
I'm not a 5 year old,
You can't search my room,
I did and I found them,
Now, will you explain them?
We just bought them
with the girls for fun,
-We agreed there'd be no lies,
-I'm not lying,
-I've been your age, you know,
-Your mom searched your room, too?
I wish I could have talked
to my mom at your age,
But she was never there,
I had to figure things out
on my own,
And it was hard to tell who
meant well,
-I'm just worried about you, dear,
-Don't worry about me, I'm doing fine,
Adia, come back!
-Adia!
-I'm hungry!
Want to have a bite?
I grilled some snacks,
No, it's fine,
We'll have dinner in a bit,
Is everything okay?
I have a meeting at the school,
It won't be long,
You want me to take you?
No, I'll walk,
It will be good for me,
You've got your phone
on you?
Don't worry, I won't get lost,
When you're my age,
you won't have to brush your teeth,
Why?
-You'll lose them all by then,
-Don't worry about my teeth,
I hope you drop this stupid
habit in New York,
Can we stop talking about New York?
I'm still here, no?
Listen to this!
This woman in Japan,,,
Can you make me one
of your sandwiches?
-Eat some veggies,
-I like the sandwiches better,
Please,
Okay, okay,,,
What's wrong with all
of you today?
Stop chewing that ice
or I won't do it,
Okay,
-Delphine!
-Hi Brigitte!
-How are you?
-All fine,
-How is it in Correze?
-Fine,,,
All calm,
How is Paris?
Same as always,
Running around,
-And how's Coco?
-He's being naughty,
I can hear him,
And how is the office?
It's a mess, Don't even ask,
Antoine told me you
were upset,
You mean what I told him at the party?
I'm surprised he remembers it,
Apparently, he got very drunk,
When I left the party,
he was properly tipsy,
So,,, you didn't witness the rest
of his evening stories,
-Who else was there?
-Coco!
Come here!
It was a proper party,
At least a hundred people,
Many people,
but I didn't stay long,
Was he okay?
Or was he a mess?
No, no, Far from that,
He was,,, Coco!
Just a second,
What's wrong with you, Coco?
It's not even the mating season,
Sit down!
Yes, he was deep in
a conversation,
Don't worry!
He was a good boy,
-And what was he saying?
-Coco! Here!
-What were you saying?
-Nothing really,
I just wanted to know,,,
He can get a bit outspoken,,,
You know,
No, he was talking about
his usual topics,
philosophy, Japanese literature,
I left early but he was okay,
By the way, when are you
coming to Paris?
In two days,
We'll take Aslan to the airport,
Yes, of course,
I have to go now, I'm afraid,
I have to take care of this monster here,
He doesn't listen to anyone,
Sure dear, I'll call you
when we are back,
Yes,
Kiss the kids,
-And the big boy!
-Sure!
-See you soon?
-See you soon, dear!
What happened, Aslan?
I was supposed to leave
the next day,
It was our last day in Correze,
Was your family against
the idea of your trip?
Delphine was the only
one who was against it,
And your father?
It was his idea,
He really wanted me to go,
I see, Why?
It is the best university
for entomology,
Did your parents have any
arguments about this,,,
or any other topics recently?
-Aslan?
-I don't know,
Listen to me,
Any small detail can help us
better understand the situation,
That's why I am asking,
Now,,,
Did your mother meet any
friends or colleagues lately?
She always had something to do,
someone to meet,
She was always busy,
Adia and I spent more
time with Antoine,
How long have you been
keeping the snails for?
What is this? I can't sit here
and answer your questions,
-I want to go,
-I still have a few,,,
No! I want to go,
How can you do this
to us now?
Well, I have other questions
to ask you,
So, calm down,
We need details,
We are just doing our job,
We are trying here,
You understand?
I'm really sorry,
I know it's difficult,
I have one last question to ask,
Did your parents know that one
of the snails were poisonous?
It definitely tastes much better
than last week,
-Would you like some?
-No, thanks,
-How's your salad?
-Very good!
-Good! The dressing!
-Yeah, right?
It's got garlic though,
What will the boys say?
Oh, like there are many
here to choose from!
She is so mean to boys here,
-Not all of them,
-Shut up!
You're so talkative tonight,
When you have nothing to say,
say nothing,
Kafka!
It does sound like Kafka,
Hanif Kureishi?
Delphine Denicourt,
Okay! I'll go wash my hands,
Same,
Sorry about earlier,
I should have behaved better,
-Sorry, mom,
-It's okay,
I wanted to tell you earlier,
but,,,
I didn't find the right time,
Do you remember Adam?
I told you about him
a while ago,
I'm seeing him,
How old is he?
He's my age,
We're in the same class,
I told you about him,
He swims very well,
Yes,
I remember Adam,
And how long have you been
seeing him for?
I've known him for 3 years,
and 2 months ago,,,
it got serious,
Serious?
Yeah,,,
-You know,
-Does your dad know about it?
What was our agreement, Adia?
I know,
-Transparency,
-At all times,
Yes,
And don't act like you're embarrassed,
I can see through you,
You are so mean,
I'm a lawyer,
I notice these things,
A very strict lawyer,
You should have seen yourself
in the bathroom,
You were really mean,
-All is fine?
-Very fine, Thank you, Juana,
Let's drink to this,
Bring him home to meet us,
"I have never seen anyone
as beautiful as you,''
I couldn't stop laughing,
Seriously?
Be careful, His father is
a client of mine,
Come on, He was nice,
-That's exactly the point,,,
-I don't want to go,
I really don't want to go,
Why do I have to be
all alone again?
I've had enough of it,
Asi, we talked about this,
I know,,,
I'm talking about it again,
I'm not going,
Asi!
I'll come and visit
you in no time,
I just can't ever have a family,
We are your family, Asi,
Don't cry, Asi,
I am always there
for you,
-Pull yourself together,
-Asi, stop it!
Aslan!
Can you please help me
with my gown?
How about some whiskey?
What's wrong with you today?
What's wrong with me?
Well,,,
you were quite aggressive,
Calm me down then,
What was that earlier?
Come on,
It's hard enough already,
We shouldn't make it worse,
You could be more gentle with him,
This was all your idea, I never
liked this New York idea,
He's 18, Delphine,
He needs to experience
more than just us,
Remember how long it took him
to adjust to grammar school?
He needs this,
-He's too dependent on us,
-On you,
No,
On both of us,
He's closer to you,
That's because I work at home,
I'm with them every day,
That's a lot,
You can't get drunk only
with your colleagues,
It's my turn now,
I hadn't been that drunk since
high school,
I'd love to see your
high school side,
I'm not sure you'd
appreciate it,
Remember that night
in Sarajevo?
-Which one of them?
-Come on,
I can't imagine how it would
have ended without you,
That German writer,,, He'd been
happier if I hadn't been around,
What was his name?
Gunther Splitz?
God, yes,
-Did anyone help you?
-When?
The night with your colleagues,
I don't know,
No clue,
That night is a blur,
You don't remember anything?
I guess someone helped me,
You remember who?
Not really,
Was it a man or a woman?
A woman, I think,
I don't remember her though,
But I'll remember you tomorrow,
Give it to me,
What are you doing here?
Chewing ice,
Can't sleep?
I wish I could,
-Strange day, no?
-What?
I don't know,
Delphine,
We should tell her,
Don't start with that again,
It's only fair,
Each time I talk to her,,,
I feel terrible,
I can't take it anymore,
It will break her, Asi,
You should have thought
about this 2 years ago,
In 2 days, it's over,
You'll be gone,
-You've got everything planned out,
-No, I didn't plan this,
-We did it together,
-It was your decision,
Aslan goes away,
We will stay,
Everything is normal,
Happy family,
Brilliant, no?
How could this be my plan?
It's your plan, Antoine,
A very convenient plan,
You know how much it hurts
to have you leave,
So much that you both were
humping the whole night,
I love her too,
It's just different,
It's so hard,
I can't leave you,
Stop it,
Please stop,
Please,
SATURDAY
Damn,
Damn!
The problem with you is,,,
I know, I know,
I play to win,
Bend your knees,
There you go, Don't be stiff,
Yes!
Come on!
Just throw it for fun,
Throw it nicely and you'll
get a surprise,
So you have it sorted,
-Yes!
-Bravo!
What's the surprise?
I pushed your flight to next week,
I was too hard on you last night,
I'm sorry, darling,
-Seriously?
-Yes!
One more week with Asi,
What's wrong? You're unhappy?
I'm really sorry about
last night,
Don't worry,
I was too hard on you,
I know it is difficult, my dear,
-Did you change his ticket?
-Yes! To September 7th,
It's okay, There's still time until
his classes begin,
Now, you can come to my match!
Now that we have time,
I'm going to the village,
Want to come, Adia?
No, this guy is going to give
me a tattoo,
Be careful with the tattoo,
You don't want to regret it later,
It's gonna be wicked,
A little snail here,
Cute idea!
-Asi, anything I can get for you?
-No, thanks,
A ginger cake for me, please,
A ginger cake for the lady,
For you, sir?
-Can I talk to you for a second?
-What is it?
-I believe you owe me an explanation,
-What are you talking about?
-What's with the last minute change?
-What's the problem?
-You could have asked me,
-It was an impulse,
And I knew you wouldn't mind,
Do you?
-No, that's not the problem,,,
-Okay, I know,
I should have asked you, but
I felt guilty after last night,
It was just a moment,
I just did it,
If I'd asked you, it would have
taken more time, bla bla bla,
Alright,
I'll take a walk in the village
and eat something,
I'll finish some work as well,
I slept like a baby,
How about you?
Same,
My phone,,,
-When is your match?
-Wednesday,
Why did Delphine change
my ticket? I don't get it,
I don't know,
She is so unpredictable,
I take after her, I think,
Why do you make everything
about you?
Sorry,
Almost done,
Will you get some worms
for Lily after this?
-Are you kidding me?
-No,
You're complicating your life for real,
Stop it,
-I'm working, Can't you see it?
-What's your problem?
You can't put your foot on
my manuscript like this!
-You don't need to yell,
-I'm not yelling!
I just don't understand
why you always act like a kid,
I know it's hard for everyone
right now, okay?
But you don't have to take
it out on me,
Thank you!
You're right,
Okay, show it to me,
-I thought you didn't like snails,
-I changed my mind,
And for this ice cracker
to make a tattoo properly,
It had to be a snail,
It looks very nice, Asi,
You want one too?
I've got one already,
I can make one on your forehead,
Adia! Can you get some worms
for Lily?
-Are the shops open today?
-Yeah, I'll go to Chloe's shop,
-Ask Delphine to get it,
-No, I'll go and show off my tattoo,
Show off your tattoo,
Thanks, Bye!
Delphine!
You forgot to pay,
I'm sorry,
-Thanks, bye,
-Bye,
You're still working on the book?
Yes,
I thought you finished it,
I'm making some changes
before it goes to print,
-Can I read it?
-Yes,
-But later,
-When?
Later,,, Soon,
I'm trying to concentrate,
Can you leave me be, please?
Why are you so upset
that I'm staying longer?
I'll talk to Delphine,
I'll leave as planned,
Don't worry,
Asi!
-Do you realize what's going on?
-What's going on?
Delphine is acting very odd,
Why do we always talk
about Delphine?
And never about Aslan?
-Can you leave me alone please?
-I'm going to very soon, Don't worry,
No,
I'll go,
One day,,, I'll find the right words,
and everything will be easy,
And everything will be easier,
Jack Kerouac,
Why do you always have
to correct me?
Why do you always have to be right?
And I have to be wrong?
If you let me talk, you know
what I would say,
and it scares you,
Because it's what you
would say too,
What would I say?
What do you want to say?
It's going to be okay, Asi,
It's going to be okay,
Can someone explain this?
Fucking talk!
You don't even understand
what you've done,
I will ruin your life,
You are a monster,
How could you do this
to my son?
We love each other,
It's not what you think, Delphine,
I fell in love with Antoine,
He never manipulated me,
He never abused me,
I swear,
We love each other,
We love each other?
Get the fuck out of my sight,
Get lost!
I'll get the keys,
Go find Adia,
Take the first train to Paris,
Do it right now,
Right now,
There is a history of a suicide
attempt in her records,
What was the cause?
We lost our kid,,,
a few weeks after
he was born,
And did she ever get
pregnant again?
No,
When did you adopt your kids?
Two years after that,
we adopted Adia,
And 7 years later,,,
Aslan,
Is there anything you have
noticed in the last few days,
that can help us understand
what she did?
Any small detail at home
with you or your two kids?
No,
-Come on,
-What's going on?
-We're going to Paris right now,
-What?
I'll explain later,
I can't leave like this,
What's going on?
-Listen to me, We have to go,
-Wait, What's going on?
-Delphine saw us,
-What?
-What did she say?
-What do you think?
We can't just leave her,
He wants to be alone
with her,
Adia!
Aslan!
Adia, get in the car!
You too!
-Where is dad?
-No!
-Get in!
-No!
No, no,,, This is between
you and me,
No, this is about everyone,
-Adia has nothing to do with this,
-You don't make decisions here,
-Get in the car!
-But I know everything,
I knew it all along,
She saw us,
SUNDAY
I didn't know you were gay,
I'm not,
I'm only attracted to Aslan,
It's very confusing for me too,
How long has it been?
Two years,
Maybe you should move
in with him,
I never stopped loving you,
Delphine,
We can't go on like this,
You ruined everything,
One of us three has to go,
That's why I was trying to
send Aslan to the States,
I'm going insane,
Aslan will go tomorrow,
I'm not finished with you,
We'll pretend we're still a,,,
family,
Just for one day,
Until he leaves,
I wish I had never met you,
Aslan, you're leaving tomorrow,
Pack your bags,
It's a sunny day,
We'll enjoy it,
Put on your swimsuits,
have you applied any sun cream?
It's okay, mom,
You want a cocktail?
No, thanks,
One cocktail won't kill you,
I don't feel very well,
It's okay, I won't add
alcohol for you,
Cocktail?
One cocktail for Aslan,
And you?
And one for you,
Cocktails coming right up,
Thanks!
