From Her Bones (2025) Movie Script
Adrift.
Feel no more sorrow
for leaving your home.
Look no further back
and face your path.
So many nights
of rage and confusion,
immersed in that pain.
Now that you are free,
tell me where you're going.
With no direction and no will
lost you'll be.
See, what have you become?
Cynthia, look at yourself.
Eyes of polished white.
Tell me where you'll go,
so lonely and homeless.
No.
You will not find
anyone to blame.
Who will love you,
knowing your secret?
Today the truth
must be known.
Shut up.
Thank you, thank you so
much for coming here today
and enjoy this wonderful song.
In the eternal darkness
your gaze shines
like a lighthouse at sea.

Actually I'm not sure
that coat was a good idea.
Why?
It's a bit old lady, no?
We spend a week-end
in the middle of nowhere
so you could get a hard-on again
and you don't even look at me!
Hey it's ok cool your jets baby!
Stop calling me like that!
Now you're scary.
But where are you...?
You're driving over me, asshole!
The Doe.
What is she doing?
Wait!
Your glove!
Hello
uncle.
Her glove?
I can see the woman!
Yes, I'll tell her!
Uncle I'm hanging up, Ken's being a pain!
Ken, come here! Come to mummy!
Uncle has got your glove!
Miss!
I mistook her for a Doe.
Fuck that is very heavy!
Carry, Michel, let's go!
It's ok, it's empty now!
Should we put her in the truck?
But... I can't.
You have to hold it there.
Carry!
- But I'm carrying!
- You're pretending!
No I'm not!
Be careful, I told you it was fragile!
It's ok!
She has run away.
What?
Antiques - 19th century medical
supplies buying and selling.
Stop! I saw something!
Hey, is there anybody here?
Miss?
Did you find her?
No, but we found the morvan
lodging address in her things.
We're going there.
Ok, I'm checking around.
I saw her, I swear.
It must be an animal.
Let's go, we have no time.
She's not the kind of girl who
hangs out alone in the countryside.
She's average sized, 5 feet 3 inches tall.
Pale skin,
blue eyes with a gentle gaze.
A good-looking girl,
very classy
with a fur coat.
Who's there?
I need to give a call.
I can't see you,
get in the light!
Ken, shut up please!
Come here,
have a seat.
You'll be fine.
I was saying earlier that uncle has your...
Call 911!
Oh yes!
I'm gonna get my cellphone.
Uncle, I don't know what
to do, she's covered in blood!
Uncle, she's leaving!
Stay away from my dog, you bitch!
Reporting, white woman, average size,
seen for the last time
at the morvan lodging
6, old mills street, nannay.
It was an accident, it wasn't
on purpose, I'm sorry sir.
We tried to help her but she ran away!
Where the fuck is she now?
I've already called the cops.
- The local police.
- What?
We used to call them
"the local police" here.
He's got to be kidding me.
Lucienne,
it's over.
I'm no longer in love.
Are you certain?
Yes, I think so.
You are complete idiots.
I'm going to miss your beauty spot.
Which one?
That one, on the bridge of your nose.
Then kiss it one last time.
Kiss me one last time.
I do love you,
I will always love you Paul.
It's a shame,
our love was beautiful.
It's pretty hard.
We're not meant to be together.
Lucienne in a world without solitude.
Come on lucienne, I'm waiting.
What is it?
We noticed a lot of missing items in stock.
Something was off.
We thought clients were stealing,
but then we recorded it at night.
- Who is that?
- Where is the other one?
We don't know.
Never seen that before.
His brother is nowhere to be seen.
And we checked everywhere.
No signs of breaking and entering.
We need to find him!
Paul I got so scared.
They saw you on video.
They're going to search for you.
You shouldn't go to the shop anymore.
- It was bound to happen one day.
- No!
No
It's my fault.
I should have been careful.
No, it's not your fault.
What am I supposed to do now?
I'm going to find supplies
by other means.
I'll be back more often until we find him.
We're going to find him.
You would be feeling something
if anything happened to him.
I'm here.
Why are you already up?
Lie down.
Is there something you want to tell me?
What do you want to think about?
Nothing.
I need to go.
There's no point in staying here.
I won't see him ever again.
There may be a lead.
- Really?
- Yes.
A man has been spotted without his brother.
No way, it must be him.
Where was this?
Did you go and check?
I will.
When?
- Did you love him that much?
- When?
Soon.
- Do you love him that much?
- I do naturally.
Don't you love emanuelle?
Of course, I do.
Do you still think we're
not meant to be together?
I never said that.
Why are you so scared?
I know what's going to happen
to me if he doesn't come back.
Do you have any scissors?
Thank you.
Everything ok?
Oh, I'm used to it, she is clumsy you see.
And did you get that guy? Did you find him?
Not yet.
But we're not going to stop there.
- We're going to take action.
- How?
We're going to find him!
By searching everywhere.
We could search houses if necessary.
Who's to say he's from here?
Have you ever dreamed
of something just for you?
Like what?
I don't know,
an object?
Something that we wouldn't be sharing.
Or like making love with a man
without being in the same room together.
It never crossed my mind,
it's weird.
Why?
What's weird about it?
I think it's perverse
to hide ourselves.
Where is this idea coming from?
A dream,
nothing important.
I was dreaming of lips
that would fall upon mine
and that you'd never know those same lips.
A mouth just for me.
A body that we would no longer be sharing.
I never dreamed of that.
I can't stop thinking about you.
Constantly.
And this world
This world is making me miserable.
I don't understand it anymore.
I forget about it when I'm with you.
Are you happy with me?
That man that you talked about,
did you go and check?
Would you like to go and check?
There's nobody around!
I love you Paul.
I can't love without him. I just can't.
I feel crushingly empty lucienne.
You didn't love me before either.
It wasn't only down to me, you know that!
Hey, where are you guys from?
From nowhere, we're going home.
That's it, get lost!
I want you to talk to me.
Tell me what's happening.
Drop it!
Leave me alone, will you?
I know there is something
you're not telling me.
I woke up last night and you weren't there.
I have a feeling that it's not
the first time it's happened.
Actually, I'm sure of it...
Grab her!
Let me go!
Lucienne!
I'm sorry!
I'm very sorry!
You can't leave each other like that!
Does that make you happy?
No.
Why are you laughing?
So that I don't cry.
I don't understand all this cruelty.
I love you.
I love you too.
Then I don't want you to disappear, ever.
Promise me.
We can't let you work like that.
It's a disgrace.
You're ugly.
We know what happened,
have you two lost your mind?
What's gotten into you?
First that guy
and now you.
What is the world coming to?
When are you coming back to work?
Do you know about that guy?
The thief.
He came back.
We're going to find him this time.
He's on his own for sure.
What's going on with you?
Nothing.
Don't lie to me.
Is it about the man?
You know who it is, is that right?
What would you do?
What do you mean?
If you saw him?
So you saw him?
I'd protect us.
We need to protect ourselves.
Don't pretend,
let me sleep here without you.
You need it.
Go to the living room.
What happened?
Why didn't you come back?
I didn't have a choice.
What's going on?
I'm leaving.
Where are you going?
We had friends who owned a boat.
I'm going to get on it,
sail far away and we'll see.
No...
Please no!
- We need to wait, he's bound to come back.
- He's not.
Paul...
I beg you!
He's bound to come
back, wait a little bit longer.
I talked to Emmanuel.
We're going to take care of you,
we just need more time.
Stop!
Lucienne, stop!
Please
What is it?
Am I not enough for you?
I don't love you
and I'm not happy.
What's happening?
What is it?
Stop that!
Spit it out!
Paul!
Paul, I beg you.
Stay.
Stop!
You know what's going
to happen if they find you?
You have nothing else but me.
You must love me!
Paul
Emmanuelle!
Stop now!
I come from another country than yours,
from another neighborhood,
from another solitude.
Today I'm making up new side roads.
I'm no longer one of you.
I'm waiting for mutants.
Biologically speaking,
I make my own idea of what is biology:
I piss,
I ejaculate,
I cry.
It's of vital importance
that we shape our own ideas
as if they were manufactured objects.
I am ready to provide the molds
But
Solitude
Solitude
The molds are made of a
new texture, I'm warning you.
They were cast tomorrow morning.
If, from this day forth,
you haven't got a certain
sense of how long you'll last,
there's no point in teaching you,
no point in looking forward,
because forward is backward,
nighttime is daytime.
And
Solitude
Solitude
