Peak Everything (2025) Movie Script

(Insects chirring, wind blowing)
(Car passing)
(Beeping)
(Chiming)
(Garage door opening)
(in French): Fucking shit.
OK.
(Dogs barking)
Hey guys!
Yeah, yeah.
(Dogs continue barking)
Hey Cachou, happy, eh?
(Chuckling)
Hello, hello.
Sleep well?
Oui? Hello!
Pixie, you'll get
your kibble soon.
PEAK EVERYTHING
A message to you from Polar Lux
We trust that your new lamp
will bring light to your days
for many years to come.
If you have any problems or
questions, please contact us directly.
We will try to help you.
OK...
(Dog barking)
- Hi Romy.
- Hi.
Have a nice night?
Did you maybe forget to turn off
the outside light last night?
No.
It's no big deal...
I didn't forget.
Okay. Then can you start
with the puppies' cages please?
Yeah... that's the problem.
Hmm?
I have trouble taking orders.
Don't take it as an order.
Of course it's my kennel, but...
Uh...
Okay, I'll start with the cages
and you do the kibble?
Okay.
Thanks Adam.
(Dog whimpering)
Come.
What?
Follow me.
Where are you going?
- Romy, what are you doing?
- Nothing.
(Breathing heavily)
We're alone.
Me too.
- Like that?
- Yeah.
(Both breathing heavily,
moaning)
(Moaning)
Thanks for doing
a good job today, Romy.
See you tomorrow?
Don't get any ideas, eh?
What?
You're much too old for me.
Got it?
Yup, I understand, it's clear.
OK.
Have a nice day.
You too, Romy.
What's your helper's name again?
Romy.
She's cute.
Is she nice?
Yes, very nice.
Does she have big boobs? Girls
today don't seem to have any.
Yes, I suppose her breasts
are just fine.
Don't get any ideas, eh?
But it'd be nice for Adam
to meet someone.
It's time.
Look in the mirror, Frank.
At least I've
lived with a woman.
- Been a while now.
- But you...
You're handsome, it's different.
- You're handsome too.
Enough, boys.
You guys are late on everything.
No girlfriends, no kids, no
house, no cash, no trips, nothing.
You're missing
out on everything.
(Machine beeping)
Jeez.
I can't say anything
to you, Adam.
(Knocking on door)
(Machine beeping)
You have good personal coverage.
But you need to watch out
for your business.
His business!
It's growing.
He walks the neighbours' dogs.
It's a job for a little girl.
It's a kennel, Eugne.
How many do you have now?
Depends on the litters.
Fifteen, plus the ones I board.
Holy shit! I don't wanna scare
you but what if it catches fire?
It's happening more
and more often.
What do you mean?
Climate change!
There'll be more storms,
drought, flooding...
I know.
I know.
Sorry, I really don't like
to think about that.
OK.
How much do you
think it's worth?
They're my dogs,
I can't put a number on them.
Two million!
That's what I think, Eugne.
You gotta bring it up
to two million, minimum.
Adam, you're a business man.
You have to start
thinking like one.
A businessman!
(Breathing deeply)
It's not working.
(Sniffling)
(Crying)
(Dog panting)
Why didn't I have any siblings?
Jeez, are you seven years old?
When Mom found out she was sick
did she leave a letter
or anything for me?
There's no letter.
You're being a pain.
You were two,
what would she write you?
Yeah, okay.
(Phone ringing)
Hi Romy, everything okay?
Yes, it's just that
I can't get up.
It's sort of because of you.
Well, both of us.
Oh, yeah?
Where is she?
It was good, eh?
Huh?
Wasn't it good?
Yes. Very good.
I'm touching myself now,
thinking about yesterday.
Are you touching yourself?
It's not a good time.
Good time for what?
Too bad.
I'll be in late, after lunch.
I'm lounging in bed now.
Great, see you later.
Romy has an emergency,
she'll be late.
What emergency?
A family thing.
She hates the kennel,
it's obvious.
Hello.
Adam Tremblay please?
That's me.
I'm confirming your appointment
with Dr. Catalina Flores
on Tuesday at 6pm.
Catalina?
What?
Catalina Flores, psychiatrist.
(Dogs barking)
Ah, oui...
I confirm the appointment.
Sorry?
I confirm the appointment.
Thank you.
Goodbye.
Bye.
(Breathing deeply)
(Beeping)
(Line ringing)
(in English): This is Polar Lux
Incorporated.
Thank you for calling.
My name is Tina.
How may I help you?
(With French accent):
Hi, Tina. Uh, my name is Adam.
I'm sorry, what's your name?
Adam.
Sorry, what?
Um, my name, uh...
Adam.
Adam. Adam?
Like the first man?
- Oh, Adam!
- Yeah.
Hello! Sorry about that.
It's OK.
Would you like me
to transfer you
to a French-speaking colleague?
Mmm. No, no.
It's fine. Thank you.
OK. How may I help you
this evening?
Uh, I found your phone number
in the box of my new therapy
desk lamp, Sunshine In 2.1.
It's a really nice touch.
I'm really happy to
talk with someone.
Sure. Go ahead.
Um...
I don't know exactly
how to start.
It's like...
Um...
There's a deep sadness
inside of me.
It's like...
It's like a rock.
Yeah?
Like a rock.
I'm so sorry to hear that.
Thank you.
I'm in front of
the lamp right now.
And I guess if I keep going on
with, uh, sport and meditation,
I should feel better
at some point?
Yes. I hope so.
I believe so.
And is there something
I could do for you right now?
Oh, I don't know.
It's already a lot
to talk with someone.
Oh.
OK.
This is a technical
support line.
If you experience any
difficulties with the product
we can help
you work through that.
Fuck...
Oh, I'm so sorry.
I... I thought it was like
a helping line to talk.
I'm so sorry.
Don't worry. It's not clear
on the notice.
It's a common mistake.
It is? It happened before?
Yeah, I think so. I could
ask some of my colleagues.
No, no, no, no.
It's OK, it's OK.
I'm going to hang up now.
I'm so sorry I lost your time.
No, no, no.
Please don't hang up.
OK.
You...
(Thunder rumbling in distance)
You should use your lamp
about 30 minutes a day.
And if you experience headaches,
you can wear sunglasses
during the session.
Oh, OK. Those are
really good advices.
Are you OK, Adam?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I just wish I would
understand the world better,
like how things work.
(Thunder crashing)
Yeah, but things are pretty
messed up these days.
Maybe only insane people
understand how things work.
(Chuckling)
Yeah, right?
Yeah.
(Chuckling)
I don't know.
It became so complicated.
We need so many things.
We know so many people.
I know. I agree.
Sorry about the noise.
It's OK.
Sometimes I wish I was
born in a different era.
No, really? Me too.
Me too.
Like at the beginning
of humanity, in surviving mode.
Yeah!
Living in little tribes,
picking blueberries,
sleeping with each other freely
and dying at 25 by losing
a fight against a mammoth.
(Tina laughing)
That's how it should be.
Yeah, no?
You're right!
I think you're right.
I like talking to you, Adam.
I mean, I'm... I'm sorry
about the rock, of course,
but it's a nice conversation.
(Heavy rain falling)
You're very nice, Tina.
You're very nice, too.
Jesus!
(Heavy rain continues)
Are you OK, Tina?
It's all right,
but I think I should go.
You take care, OK?
OK, you take care too, Tina.
You take care too!
(Rain stops)
(Breathing deeply)
(in French): I will stop.
I will feel.
I will see and enjoy.
And I'll simply tell myself
that no matter what has happened
and no matter what will happen,
this moment is one of happiness.
Now, slowly,
gently,
open your eyes.
Return to reality.
Return to reality.
WHAT IS LIGHT THERAPY?
(Dogs barking)
Come on, fetch!
Bring it here.
Give it here.
Whoa!
Good boy.
Oui.
Hello.
Hello.
This is Simon.
Can he hang out here today?
We feel like being together.
It won't make any difference
if he's here.
Uh, OK.
You can start with the pens.
OK.
Uh...
Dude, it'd be cool
if you let us do it here.
Do what?
My roommates
are home all the time.
She lives with her folks.
Could we maybe use the office?
Not in front of the dogs.
That would be cringe.
Maybe at lunchtime?
Or in the evening.
No, it's not possible.
Gobelet, fetch!
The planet has just seen
its hottest July on record.
Natural disasters have been
increasingly common this year,
while here at home,
the heat wave...
(Sighing)
Why are you here, Mr. Tremblay?
Uh...
When I called for
an appointment,
I wasn't doing too well.
No.
Can you try to describe why?
Yes.
It's that...
Global warming is
increasing non-stop,
causing natural disasters
like wildfires, floods,
droughts, hurricanes.
Alright.
And it'll get worse fast.
Scientists talk about a tipping
point, a point of no return,
or a feedback loop that we'll reach
much sooner than we expected.
We've known for a long time
that the glaciers are melting.
Now it's happening so fast,
they'll submerge us.
This will create a warm current
that'll affect the entire Atlantic.
Thermal expansion,
the loss of permafrost.
This could raise sea levels by two
meters by the end of the century.
Bombay, Jakarta, Shanghai will all
be under sea level within 20 years.
Ironically, it also creates
droughts in Asia and Africa.
Because of course it's the poor,
exploited populations that suffer most.
Soon, 300 million people will be
moving towards sustainable regions,
like here.
It'll be chaos.
We're not ready for it.
If it's not that,
it'll be something else.
Low fertility rates,
the militarization of space,
micro plastics, deep sea mining,
trawling. Trawling!
Peak oil, peak coal,
peak wood and water.
Wood, water, rice,
farmland, we took it all!
We are the cockroaches
of the world.
Hmm...
Scientists use the expression
"Peak Everything."
The peak of everything.
But we keep going, because
we're stuck in this system.
T.I.N.A.
(in English): There
is no alternative.
(in French): We can't even
imagine what will happen.
Famines, massacres,
massive social instability,
civil wars for natural resources.
Our systems will crash,
it's already begun!
(Imitates explosion)
Excusez.
So sorry.
Depressed
If we have to fight to survive,
say, for the last bottle of water,
or the last piece of bread,
I'd be the first to die.
I wouldn't fight for myself.
I want others to live.
Also, I'm not sleeping.
When I can't sleep
at night, I think...
I think it would be better
for things to end now.
(Sniffling)
Not for others, but for me.
Don't worry, I'm not dangerous.
But sometimes I think that
one less parasite
wouldn't be a bad thing.
Also, my eyes get dry.
They burn.
And that's about it.
I'm sorry,
because I'm actually doing well.
I don't mean to make things
weird or be depressing.
(Chuckling)
Fucking shit!
(Switch clicking)
(Sighing)
(Phone ringing)
All?
(in English):
Hello! Is this Adam?
Tina?
Yeah, it's me.
It's amazing.
I was about to call you.
- Really?
- Yeah.
Why?
Uh, I'm not sure.
OK. So good timing.
This is a regular follow-up call
to make sure everything
is fine with the lamp.
Oh, OK. But... but are you OK?
Is everything
all right at the office?
We're fine.
It's stormy these days,
and lightning hit
our transponder.
No one was harmed.
We were lucky.
Oh, good to hear.
I was worried.
You were?
Yeah.
So
Is everything OK with the lamp?
Oh, not really.
It's broken.
Oh. Sorry to hear that.
Something must have happened
in the transportation.
Oh, no, no, no.
I kind of broke it, in fact.
Oh, OK. Is everything OK?
Well, I started a new
medication against insomnia.
And anxiety and depression.
OK.
Well, three medications.
OK.
And I think it made me
feel a little dizzy,
so the lamp fell
from the desk and broke.
Oh.
And maybe I hit it
a little after.
It's all right. OK.
Um, the thing is...
I don't buy a lot of objects.
Not because I don't
have money. I have money.
I'm not rich, but OK, you know?
It's just that I don't
like to buy things.
So it's kind of sad,
because I think the lamp
was doing good for me.
OK, sir, I understand.
You're telling me that the lamp
you received was broken
and never worked, is that it?
No, no, no.
That's not what I say.
We're really sorry about that.
It's probably
a manufacturing defect.
Oh, but...
Your lamp is still under
warranty, Mr. Tremblay.
You will receive a new one
within three business days.
Oh, OK.
Thank you, Polar Lux.
This is great customer service.
Sure!
(Laughing)
Tina, do you...
Yeah?
Uh...
Do you have a...
Do you have a husband?
Yes.
Yes, I do.
His name is Scott.
Oh, OK.
What about you?
Oh, no, no girlfriend.
Uh...
No girlfriend,
but I have friends.
Oh, good!
My friend Frank cooks
the best mac and cheese.
He puts hot dogs in it.
You should try it.
OK. OK, I will.
You're so great.
Are you, like,
an AI or something?
(With robot voice):
Maybe I am.
(Both laughing)
No, I'm not.
And I think I should go.
My boss is around.
Oh, yeah. Sure, sure.
Oh, Tina, wait.
What?
Do you like snow?
I love snow!
(Both laughing)
Me too.
(Both laughing)
Me too!
Amazing.
(in French): Solastalgia
is a deep distress
caused by perceived irreversible
changes in our environment.
In a world that seems
to be self-destructing,
some people are overcome by a
suffocating sense of powerlessness.
"The place where I grew up, where I want
my children to grow up, is falling apart,
"and there's nothing I can do,"
they think.
But the wise will see this as a
chance to rise up and accept things,
to understand and
to take action.
We must remain calm
when everything's falling apart.
We must remain calm when
everything comes back to life.
(Sighing)
(Insects chirring)
You sure this is safe?
They say not to engage in
intense activity during a heatwave.
This isn't intense,
it's light activity.
Fuck it, man, for real.
It's fucking 45 degrees.
(Breathing heavily)
(Grumbling)
I've been speaking
with a woman over the phone.
We have very nice conversations.
She's smart,
and she has a soft voice.
OK...
Interesting.
Only on the phone?
Or do you see each other?
We've never met.
So... it's not really real.
It's very real.
Gently.
Gotta give them lots of fresh
water today, it's really hot.
Heatwaves are even worse
for dogs than humans.
OK.
(Dogs barking)
- Adam Tremblay?
- Yes, that's me.
Thanks, have a good day.
We are sorry for the
inconvenience and trust that...
(Bird calling)
Pop?
Why are you here?
Fucking government housing,
it's too hot in there.
I'm sleeping here tonight.
All right.
What's all this?
You sick?
No.
Lorazepram.
Auro-venlafaxine.
What are these?
Nothing.
And what's that?
Nothing.
Hey!
What is it?
A therapeutic sun lamp,
anxiolytics, sleeping pills
and antidepressants.
(Pills rattling)
What?
Sometimes I'm sad.
About what?
Sometimes I wonder
why I'm alive.
Why you're alive?
Come on, what's the deal?
You live, that's it!
Why you're alive?
I'll take care of this trash.
You don't need that!
We live and that's it!
Dad,
get out of here.
Don't overreact.
No.
Get out of my house.
Calm down.
Get out!
Out!
- Come on!
- Out!
Jesus, take it easy!
(Breathing heavily)
(Video game music )
(Phone ringing)
(in English): This is Polar Lux.
My name is Tom.
How may I help you?
Uh, hi. Uh, may I speak
with Tina, please?
(in French): I can help you.
What's this about?
(in English): Oh, no.
(in French): I really
need to speak with Tina.
(in English): OK. This is weird.
(in French): She sent me
a message in code, and...
(in English): This
is very weird.
Uh, hold on.
OK.
He says he knows you?
He sounds nice.
(in French): Hello, Tina?
(Tina, in English):
Did he tell you his name?
No, he said something
about a secret code.
Ah. Oh, it must be Adam!
Oh, it's me.
Pick up the phone.
(Banging sound on line)
- Tina, hello?
- (Man): Tina, run!
Tina? Tina!
- Tina.
- Are you OK?
(Line beeping)
Tina!
(Phone beeping)
(Line ringing)
(in French): Thanks for calling Polar
LuxTechnologies. Our offices are closed until...
(Man speaking French,
crowd cheering on TV)
(Engine starting)
What's going on?
I need your car!
- What the fuck?
- Thanks Dad!
I need it to go
bowling tomorrow!
Adam!
Adam!
(Line ringing)
Thanks for calling
Polar Lux Technologies...
(Line ringing)
Why are you calling me?
Romy, you gotta take care of the
dogs. You know how. Simon can help.
What? For how long?
Why is there wind? What's up?
Just a few days. I gotta go.
The dogs! Think about the dogs!
OK...
(Siren wailing in distance)
(in English): Authorized
personnel only.
I know someone inside, please.
There's only firemen
and medics inside.
Where are the people?
After the earthquake,
we sent them to
the community center for safety.
The earthquake?
(Men and women
chatting, indistinct)
(Soft music playing on PA )
Don't cry, Mrs. Spencer.
It's God's doing. He's angry.
No, it's not God.
We'll be fine.
Here, have one of these.
(Chuckling)
OK.
Do you want one?


Fascinating.
(Talking, indistinct)
Tina?
Adam?
Yes.
So...
You're alive.
I am.
(Laughing)
Everybody! New information
has come in.
It seems that there is still
a high risk of earthquakes
within the next few days
in the area.
Therefore, I have to
ask you to leave the city.
(Crowd groaning)
(All talking, indistinct)
(Tina): Where are we going?
I have an uncle in, uh,
in Latchford.
Do you mind taking me there?
It's freaking far, no.
Sure, I can take you there.
Yeah, it's an emergency.
You have to be with your family.
God, you're nice.
Yes, I am.
Good.
Can we stop at
my place before we go?
Sure.
I'm leaving.
Good luck, OK?
You know what?
I think I could
use a little trip.
(Door closing)
We don't even
have reception, guys.
It's exciting, no?
You know what we are?
We're like, um,
we're climate refugees.
That is what we are.
Yeah, you're right.
People are not aware how
climate change affects geology,
but it does.
It's proven, it does.
- Oh my God.
Oh my God. Is it shaking again?
- Ah! What?
What? What?
- Ah!
(Screaming)
- No, no!
- Are you crazy?
- Huh? What?
- It was a joke.
It's a joke.
It's a joke, joke.
(Laughing)
It's just a joke, my friend.
It was funny.
(Police radio chatter)
Mmm.
Well, now that it's legal,
I mostly sell to minors.
No, thank you.
Thank you.
Why not?
These kids, they prefer edibles.
And these candies
you can find everywhere now.
It's a hard time
for inoffensive dealers.
I'm telling you.
- Yeah.
Oh, I have to make
a quick phone call.
Yeah.
Oh, sorry.
Oh.
Hey, did you see the news?
It's crazy.
I'm fine.
I'm in Latchford with Tom.
I'll probably sleep here.
(Tom):
They look better on me.
We can't go home for a while,
so you should probably
stay at your mom's.
- It's nice to see you.
- Oh, God! Come on.
Get out.
I'll let you know.
Good night. I love you.
You look good, by the way.
Still, you know,
it's a good business.
I mean, these kids,
they get high.
I'm telling you.
They're an anxious generation.
Oh, yeah? Why?
I don't know, like, wars,
pandemic, climate change.
But you are aware
that temperatures
have always fluctuated
by a few degrees, right?
OK.
But this time, it's us,
and it's dangerous.
Yeah. It's true, you think?
- Yeah.
- Bullshit!
They need us to be afraid
so they can raise
their fucking carbon taxes.
That's what I'm saying.
I say, fuck you!
In fact, they probably
put estrogen
in those fucking vaccines.
Remember, a couple of years ago?
The vaccines!
They made all you guys weak
and sissies.
No offense, Tom.
- Sure.
It's so sad.
The GIEC reports...
GIEC? What the fuck is that?
The scientists.
They make up those numbers!
Hell, even I could write them.
But there are
forest fires everywhere.
You can see them.
With AI now, they can
create any images
they want us to believe in.
Who's they?
Well, probably the deep state.
Oh my God!
(Laughing)
The deep state?
Are you reptilian
on top of that?
Or are you a flat earther?
Oh my God.
Thank you so much
for bringing me here, Tom.
I never met one of them
in real life.
Tina, be nice.
No, I thought they were
only on the Internet.
I'm sorry.
I think it's the weed.
(Laughing)
So long, suckers!
(Real Wild Child (Wild One)
by Iggy Pop )
Police!
(Dog barking)
We're asking you to cooperate.
Stop! Where are you going?
- What's happening?
- What are you doing?
- You! Come back here!
- Fuck off!
Let's go!
- Do not resist!
- I'm not.
You're under arrest
for drug trafficking.
This isn't our place.
We don't even know this guy.
Tom!
Don't leave us here!
I don't know anything.
You've been under surveillance.
We didn't have anything
to do with this.
(Police shouting, dog barking)
No, no. Leave it!
(Police shouting)
Run, Adam, run.
Where do we go?
Your place?
OK. And your husband?
He's in Winnipeg at his mom's.
- Go, go, go!
- OK, OK!
(Dogs barking)
(in French): Hello dogs!
(in English): Hey,
guys, meet Tina.
Hi! Buddy...
So, uh, Cannelle is diabetic,
so she needs this special food.
Yeah, around 150 grams.
Mmm!
Yeah, good, thanks.
Uh, maybe 50 more grams?
Yeah.
Uh, 10 more.
(Laughing)
Oh my God.
You must be kidding me.
Yeah, of course I am.
(Both laughing)
(in French):
Gobelet, my good dog.
(in English): So this is Gobelet.
- Hi!
He's my favorite one, yeah.
I can say it out loud.
They don't understand
English anyway. Hmm?
Gobelet.
(in French): Hi Gobelet,
you're my little dog.
You're back already?
Oh!
Romy, meet Tina.
(in English):
Tina, this is Romy.
Nice to meet you.
Hello.
(in French): Is she your girlfriend?
Is she staying long? What's up?
She's not my girlfriend,
we're not staying long,
I just wanted to check in
and make sure you were here.
(in English): OK, we can go.
Yeah, Romy will handle the day.
(in French): You can start
with the small cages.
(Dog whimpering)
Relax!
- Quit it!
- Romy?
Be gentler with
the dogs, please.
I don't do orders.
Not an order.
- It's an order, but a sneaky one.
Romy, I'm your boss.
Of course I'm going
to give you instructions.
From now on,
please be gentler with the dogs.
And with me too.
If you're not happy with that,
you can find another job
and I'll look
for a new employee.
You're authoritarian now?
I think I like it.
And the handcuffs
are a nice touch.
It turns me on.
I'm all wet.
(in English): Is everything OK?
Yeah, all good.
All good. Let's go.
(in French): Please give a handful
of diabetic kibble to Cannelle.
About ten grams.
(Dog barking)
- Lots going on, eh Adam?
- Yup.
- You're doing good?
- Yup.
(Whirring)
Don't move.
(Both chuckling)
(in English): This
will be your drawer.
OK.
And the sheets are clean.
(in French): The
sheets are clean.
Thank you.
(in English): Pharmaceuticals
take all my money and my emotions.
(Scoffing)
What?
The sales of SUVs
have increased by 300%
in the last 10 years.
They produce way more emissions.
Urban Explorer, my ass.
Scott owns one.
Who's Scott?
My husband.
Yeah.
There's a thing in New Zealand.
People started to blow the tires
of those cars, like, everywhere.
The insurance companies
had to raise their prices
because there were
so many reclamations.
So the sales dropped.
They dropped!
Really? It worked?
Yeah!
Let's do it.
What?
What do you have a knife for?
I don't know.
To slash tires?
(Laughing)
Come on, come on. Come on!
Hold on, hold on.
Come on, guys.
Come on.
You want to do it?
Sure, I want to do it.
I watch people on the Internet
doing it all the time.
So, yeah.
I want to do it.
OK. Go on.
Go, go. Go, go, go.
Go on.
Really?
Oh!
(Air hissing)
(Laughing)
(Laughing)
(Horn honking)
(Engine starting)
Shit.
(in French): Adam? You okay?
Adam!
(in English): I think
he can see us, Adam.
Uh, yes, I can see you.
(in French): Hey,
what's going on?
What's going on, Ren,
is that everything is changing!
(in English): Run, Tina!
(Dogs barking)
Run.
(in French): Stop!
(in English): Faster, Adam!
Yeah!
(in French): What's changing?
Everything!
(in English): Faster!
(Laughing)
Go, go, go!
- You're crazy.
- You're crazy.
(Both laughing)
(Sight Of by Lesser Evil )
My north star will
be beaming for you
Just tell me
when to turn it on
It ain't 'cause it's written
that it's true
Not to try
means you'll never know
It ain't 'cause it's written
that it's true
It ain't cause it's written
that it's true
The sight of you
Oh, the simple sight of you
(in French): Everything
changes and evolves.
We will have time to adapt.
Every day of my life,
I can let moments of gentleness
and happiness take hold inside.
(in English): It's peaceful, no?
Tina?
Tina!
Tina!
(in French): Nothing
is permanent.
(Wind howling)
Tina!
Everything comes
and everything goes.
Tina!
We must take everything.
Tina!
And we must let everything go.
(in English): Where are you?
It's not funny!
(in French): Welcome each wave
as though it was the last.
Adam!
Tina!
(Laughing)
(in English): I
thought I lost you!
Me too!
What is this place?
You like it?
Yeah!
(Laughing)
(in French): I feel good here.
(Laughing)
(Dog whimpering softly)
(Sniffing)
(Door opening)
(in English): Hello!
Oh, hi, Tina.
Oh my God!
What?
Your arms.
Oh, yeah.
Well, I train a lot
when I'm sad, so...
I don't want you to be sad, but
wow!
(Laughing)
Your body looks cool, too.
(Both clearing throat)
(in French): I think my
life is changing, Frank.
Yeah?
I'm changing paradigms fast.
It's like a new world.
That's great.
We probably shouldn't jog
in this smoky air.
You okay?
(Sighing)
(Frank, in English):
I heard a lot about you.
Oh, um...
(in French): Me too.
I don't speak French.
(in English): I'm sorry.
- No, that's OK.
I can cook for you one night
because I make, like,
the best mac and cheese.
I put sausages...
Oh, I heard.
Oh, really?
I told her already.
Oh he told... OK Cool.
(in French): Does her husband
know where she is?
What's she doing here anyway?
She can't go home for a bit.
(in English): Sorry?
Oh, he asks if your husband
knows where you are
and why you're here.
Oh, my husband knows
where I am, sir. Thank you.
I needed some place
to stay for a while.
Also, I love spending
time with your son.
(in French): She says she likes
spending time with me.
What?
Dad!
(in English): I think
he's so, so great.
(in French): She thinks
I'm so, so great.
Jesus, you're weird.
(in English): Now
he says I'm weird.
(Laughing)
It's true. You're so weird.
(Both laughing)
I know I'm so weird.
(Both laughing)
Does it work?
I don't know.
I always wondered
if my job was a scam.
Maybe.
But I like it.
Do you want to try?
Sure.
(Gentle knocking on door)
Come in.
(Inhaling deeply, exhaling)
(Tina moaning softly)
(Panting)
(Train bell
whistling in distance)
OK.
OK...
I think it's best
if I leave you here.
Yeah, I know.
It was really, uh...
OK.
Hey! Hello.
Um, uh, Scott, this is Adam.
Adam, this is my husband, Scott.
Hey, Adam, nice to meet you.
So they finally lifted
those warnings, hey?
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, hi.
This is my dog, Gobelet.
- OK.
(in French): Gobelet, come here.
(in English): Yeah, nice dog.
Do you want to
come in for dinner?
Oh, no, no, thanks. No, no.
No, no, no. Come on.
Come in.
Yeah, just stay.
I got this.
- Oh.
Don't be shy. Come on.
OK.
Taylor is freakishly strong,
so you must be careful.
And Rose, she's
she's lovely.
Wait, wait.
Uh, who are Taylor and Rose?
Oh, hi, pumpkin!
(Laughing)
How's Granny?
This is my daughter, Taylor.
- Hi!
- Hello.
Where's Rose?
She's in her room.
Hello, doggie!
He's nice.
So, you're learning karate?
- I am.
- Oh!
Avoiding is as
important as attack.
- OK.
- Dodge my kick!
Oh.
Good. Dodge!
Oh!
Taylor, Adam might be tired.
No, no, it's OK.
Oh, oh, you're strong.
Hey, man. Want a beer?
Sure, yeah, yeah.
Dodge!
Taylor, what are you doing?
- Are you crazy or what?
- Adam!
So, how'd you two meet?
I told you, honey,
through the phone line at work.
Hmm. Oh, so you
use a lamp, Adam?
Oh, yes.
Scott...
Why is that?
Is everything all right, buddy?
Scott, please.
Uh, I can get very dark.
Oh yeah? Why is that?
(Chuckling)
It's complicated,
but if I try to summarize,
I think it's because
life on Earth
is about to change completely,
and I feel that I didn't
do much with my life.
OK.
Well, thanks for sharing.
(Both chuckling)
Um...
So, like, the end of the world?
Not really the end of the world.
More like the end
of the world as we know it.
But, um, we'll be alive.
Well, some of us will be.
But life will be harder,
uh, almost impossible.
Adam, we don't know
what's going to happen.
Yeah, no.
No, we don't know.
I'm sorry,
I don't drink usually,
and it's not good
with my medication.
OK, yeah.
Yeah.
I'll go get another
bottle of wine.
So, how's the bruise?
It doesn't show.
Oh, shit!
- Dad!
- Scott?
Yeah, it's OK.
I just missed a step.
(Scott laughing)
Great.
(Insects chirring)
Is he OK?
Yeah, he went to bed.
So, you're a mother.
I am.
Hmm.
They're great.
They are.
You really have
everything to be happy.
It's not that simple, Adam.
No?
No.
When you choose a path,
you don't get to
see the other ones.
(Crying in distance)
(Knocking on door)
Rose?
Are you OK?
No.
Can you come in, please?
What happened?
I'll go get your mother, OK?
No, please.
Give me this.
How deep is it?
Not deep.
Does it hurt?
Do you know why you're doing it?
Because I'm scared, I think.
Of what?
Everything.
You know what?
Me too.
Me too.
Really?
But you'll be OK.
I don't know.
I don't know.
No, no, it's OK.
It's OK.
It's OK.
Don't worry. It's OK.
What are you doing?
Uh, she...
Rose, what is it?
What did you do?
- Oh, she's fine.
- I'm OK.
What did you do to her?
What did you say?
- Nothing.
- He didn't do anything.
I just think I can understand
what she's going through.
I don't want you
to understand that.
I know. I just...
Do your dogs want to meet
their biological family
when they turn 13?
I wasn't talking about my dogs.
I was talking about
about me.
Well, maybe stop talking
about yourself for once.
I'm sorry.
I think you should go.
You're too strange for us.
You're too sad, Adam.
I'm not sad.
(Crying)
(Breathing heavily)
(Tires screeching)
(Tires screeching)
(Breathing heavily)
(Grunting)
(Car approaching,
tires screeching)
(in French): What are you doing?
- Come down.
- No.
Why are you here?
I was passing by.
Come on, get down.
- Passing by?
- Not really.
You didn't look so good back
there, so I followed you.
Come on down, okay?
Dad, for once,
leave me alone.
Careful, it's slippery there.
Come down slowly.
Go away, Dad.
What do you want?
I want things to be easier.
It's too hard.
No, it's not.
You don't understand.
I went all the way,
I really tried.
It's over.
You're not at the end,
you're 45 years old!
You gotta live, Adam.
Even just to see the apocalypse
with your own eyes.
Be part of the adventure, Adam.
And what's the deal with the moon?
Is it the end of the world already?
No, it's the forest
fires out west.
The smoke blocks the blue light.
We see the moon as red
but it's an illusion.
It's not the end of the world.
See? It ain't over.
Come on.
You remind me of
you mother so much.
I don't understand
how you guys think.
I see what's going on with you,
how much you struggle sometimes.
But I don't know
what to do about it.
How did Mom die?
Not from cancer.
(Crying)
(Sobbing)
OK.
I'm coming down.
OK.
Easy, no sudden moves.
Come on.
(Screaming)
Adam!
I'm okay!
Jesus fucking Murphy.
Dad, I'm okay!
I knew it wasn't high enough.
You could've broken your legs,
you nutjob!
Sure you're okay?
I'm coming!
You didn't hurt yourself?
(La nuit n'en finit plus
by Petula Clark )
(Sobbing)
We'll put ice on it at home.
Oh...

(Dogs barking)
Hey.
I like your eye.
Been in a fight?
Stop it.
Why?
I'm in love, Romy.
Fuck, I told you not to get any ideas.
- Not with you!
You mean that old lady
from the other day?
She's not old.
Ew!
I'm being rejected by
a neurodivergent in his forties?
Ugh!
- Where are you going?
- I quit!
You're obviously problematic
and I hate it here anyway.
- But why?
- Shut up!
(Dogs panting)
(Knocking on door)
(Grunting)
- Hi Kathleen.
- Hello Adam.
- What's up?
- I'm sure you have some idea.
Romy filed a complaint?
Romy Latreille? What for?
Harassment?
Sexual harassment?
You? No, she hasn't
filed a complaint.
The drug bust in Ontario?
Not that either, Adam.
It's Ren, he's waiving
his right to sue for mischief
but wants $400 in compensation
for damage to his SUV
and your written promise
not to do it again.
It wasn't me.
- There are witnesses.
- Who?
Everyone.
OK.
Thanks, Kathleen.
Have a good day.
It's very good Frank, thanks.
Eat some more.
I'd freak out if you died.
It would destabilize everything.
I'd lose it.
OK...
Hey!
(in English): How have you been?
Long time no see, hey?
(in French): I left
Gobelet at your place.
Sorry.
Taylor seemed to get along
with him really well.
I hope everything's okay.
How's Rose?
I hope she's doing well.
She's very smart.
You must be proud to be her mom.
I'll have to tell you
about my mom.
(in English): It was good to
have you guys in my life.
Even if it was for a short time.
I felt like I could step out
of myself for a little while.
It was a relief.
It was a relief.
Have you seen on the news?
There's a storm coming.
You take care, OK?
I love you.
Hey.
You're home early.
Yeah.
He's a weird guy.
He's so fucking weird.
What?
Good weird.
What are you talking about?
You know what I'm talking about.
Yeah.
Good weird.
He's in love.
He's a man in love.
And I think he might be right
about the end of the world
as we know it.
It's OK.
It's OK.
(Sniffling)
(in French): The wise will see
the present as an incredible chance
to rise up and understand.
They will let go
of mental disorder
to rediscover the meaning of
life and the order of the world,
eternal and joyful.
If I learned that the world
would end tomorrow,
I'd still want to plant
an apple tree today.
(Glass shattering,
heavy rain falling)
(Thunder crashing)
(Grunting)
Pick up, Dad, pick up!
(Line ringing)
(Alarm sounding)
EMERGENCY WEATHER ALER(Dogs barking)
I'm here, dogs!
We'll be alright, dogs!
(Grunting)
(Thunder crashing)
(Dogs barking)
I'm sorry for everything.
It's our fault.
There's nothing else
I can do for you.
It's our fault!
(Phone ringing)
- Hello?
- Is this Adam?
Hey, Denis! Glad to speak with
someone. What's happening?
I won't keep you,
I just wanted to tell you that
the company
won't cover natural disasters.
Okay. But are you home?
Do we have to go somewhere?
My dad's not answering
and I'm scared.
I really can't help you.
We're doing our best.
Denis?
Denis!
(Alarm sounding)
(Breathing heavily)
(Dogs barking)
(Screaming, grunting)
Outta my way, dogs!
Dive into yourself.
Turn slowly towards
living in the present moment:
The pleasant, harmonious experience
that you are living and feeling,
here and now.
What's happening
inside you right now?
I become aware of my breath,
of how my breath flows
through me and soothes me.
As though, with every breath,
I'm breathing in well-being.
Return to reality.
(Thunder crashing)
(Dogs barking)
Dad?
Adam!
(in English): Tina? Are you OK?
Yeah. How do you
like survival mode?
I don't like it.
What's happening?
I don't know.
But it's happening.
Come on.
Yeah.
(Dogs barking)
(in French): Okay dogs,
if it collapses or catches fire,
save yourselves!
(in English): Is this real?
I took Xanax
and two sleeping pills,
and I'm wasted and...
Are you for real?
Yeah, I am real.
It's real.
There's no such thing
as a follow-up call at my job.
I just had to talk to you again.
Amazing.
I have to tell you something.
I want to come clean.
It's about Romy.
One day, we were
walking the dogs,
and she started to,
you know, OK.
OK.
And, uh, she asked me
to touch her too.
It was before
I fell in love with you.
When did you fall
in love with me?
First time
we spoke on the phone.
OK.
And Romy is angry, and I...
Maybe I did something wrong.
Adam, you probably
did something wrong.
But I think we need to deal
with this situation right now.
Yeah.
It's really urgent.
Yeah, yeah.
(Thunder crashing)
(Moaning)
Well...
Sorry, girls.
Hi, girls.
Gobelet!
(Thunder crashing,
glass shattering)
- OK, let's go.
- Yeah.
Is this the end?
I really don't know.
(Gobelet panting)
(Birds chirping)
(Rooster crowing)
(Cows mooing)
(Pig snorting)
(Tina moaning)
(Birds calling)
(Rooster crowing)
(Bird wings flapping)
(in French): Take a deep breath.
Close your eyes.
Dive into yourself.
Breathe in gently, slowly.
Then breathe out gently, slowly.
I become aware of my breath.
I observe the movement of air
coming into my body,
leaving my body.
Each movement of my breath
leaves me a bit more at peace,
a bit more relaxed.
I become aware of my entire body
as it is in this moment,
full of confidence and energy.
I become aware
of the sounds that come to me,
of the peaceful way
that I welcome them.
I become aware of all that.
I allow all of these feelings
of well-being and happiness
to seep down
into the deepest parts of me.
I become aware of my moods.
Lightness.
Serenity.
Confidence.
Harmony.
Of their movement
within my consciousness.
The thoughts and images
that may come with them.
I make myself present,
intensely present, to all of that.
I give as much space as possible
to all of those feelings.
I breathe into them,
let them flow through my body,
let them nourish my soul.
I give myself up
to this fullness.
I need nothing now,
only to exist.
Second after second,
I feel these pleasant sensations
flow through my body.
I feel their energy,
soft and strong at once.
A piece of sky.
A bird's song.
A light.
A music.
A leaf blowing in the wind.
I see them and enjoy them.
And I'll simply tell myself
that no matter what has happened
and no matter what will happen,
this moment is one of happiness.
This moment is one of happiness.
