Riviere (2023) Movie Script
1
Yes exactly, well done.
Go Karine!
Push up from your legs!
Karine,
you can't jump like that.
You look like an elephant.
-Are you okay, Karine?
-It hurts when I land.
You've been injured
for six months now.
Something has to be done.
Fuck off.
Don't talk to your coach
like that.
Give me a hand instead
of just staring like that.
Does that hurt?
What do you think?
You're not from around here.
What are you doing in Belfort?
Sightseeing.
Well, you must love it.
Do you know a guy called
Frank Rivire?
He works at the cafe.
It only opens at weekends.
You'll have to come back
tomorrow.
Damn girl,
Andrea's going to kill you.
She's not the one skating.
She gets on my nerves.
Who's she?
I don't know.
She's sightseeing.
She won't find much to see
in Belfort.
Are you going tomorrow night?
-Yeah.
-Okay, cool.
What's your name?
Manon.
You look better without it,
Manon.
What the hell are you doing?
What are you doing here?
It's closed.
You can't stay.
Do you know Frank Rivire?
I think he works here.
Yeah, I've seen him around.
Why?
You know when he'll be here?
He doesn't work here anymore.
He's over at a greenhouse now.
Where's that?
Hold on...
-Can I take a picture?
-Go ahead.
Thank you.
Can I help you?
Do you know where this is?
That's near La Chapelle.
Is it far?
About 10 minutes away.
10 minutes?
Yes, 10 minutes by car.
Can I use your toilet?
They're for clients only.
We don't take Swiss Francs.
Is it still far?
It's at the end
of the road there.
Sometimes the road is cut off
when there's too much snow.
Can I help you?
Is Frank home?
What do you want from him?
He's my dad.
What?
I think you've got
the wrong address.
Frank doesn't have a daughter.
When was the last time
you saw him?
I don't know.
Three years, maybe.
Why didn't you come earlier?
Where do you live?
In Switzerland.
With your mother?
With my mother.
So, where is Frank?
He left...
to buy some trees.
Are you all alone?
Ok... Bye.
Did you find the guy
you were looking for?
No.
Your shirt is great.
What team is it?
Coire.
Where's that?
I've never heard of them.
They're Swiss,
from the Grisons.
Out in the middle of nowhere.
Yeah, as if Belfort is New York.
Rivire...
Who's that?
Are you a fan of his?
No, it's my shirt.
I play for them.
Yeah, with girls.
More like figure skating, right?
Come on, Alex. Drop it.
What do you want? Move!
I'm not going to hit a girl.
Fuck.
You had it coming, Alex.
What are you doing?
I'm leaving. Can't you see?
Are you going to buy me a drink?
I don't have any money.
Are you going out with Alex?
No chance!
I have no time for guys.
Can you get me a vodka tonic?
My coach knows the barman
and he'll tell on me.
A vodka tonic
and a glass of water, please.
Do you have a guy
in Switzerland?
No.
Well, yes.
But it's not important.
Does it hurt when you practice?
Yeah,
but I don't have a choice.
I have to place at least third
in my next competition
to make it to the
French championship.
So, you play hockey?
It's a bit of a dumb sport, no?
Hey lezzies, let's head to
the old skating rink.
It's dead here.
Okay, we're coming.
Are you coming?
From Quebec?
The North of France.
Man, what are you doing?
Hey, Switzerland, catch!
What is she doing here?
And your girl?
Why is she coming?
Man, your car is fucked.
We're not all going
to fit in it.
Careful with the seats.
Keep your eyes on the road.
Fuck Noa,
stop touching me like that!
Careful!
Sorry, sorry!
I'm coming.
-Karine, wait for me!
-Come on then.
Aren't you coming?
Yeah, come on!
Show us what you can do!
Unless you're scared...
Okay, are you ready?
Go on then.
Go!
Go on, Noa!
Go on, Manon!
Come on guys!
Jeez Lucas...
Where are you going?
To get a drink.
Come on, Noa!
Fuck!
There was a crack.
Yeah, great excuse.
Damn, Noa!
No shame in defeat.
It happens to everyone!
Not bad, Switzerland.
Stop Karine!
Fuck...
You're really stupid.
-It's fine!
-I'm just messing around.
Fuck it. I'm leaving.
Karine's crazy!
Where should I drop you off?
Don't worry.
I left my bike at the ice rink.
I'll figure it out.
You're soaked,
you can sleep at my place.
I'll lend you some clothes.
No, my place is not an option.
My parents are going to kill me
for coming home that late.
-Bye.
-Come on then.
Hurry up!
Did your parents pay
for all this?
My parents don't have a penny.
They have a farm,
but that's not my thing.
You're impressive on the ice.
I've played hockey
since I was little.
-Are you on a girls' team?
-No.
I play with guys.
Seriously?
Don't you struggle to keep up?
No.
What are you doing here?
Why didn't you stay
in Switzerland?
I got into a fight.
And they kicked you
off the team for that?
I wanted to get out anyway.
You're funny, Switzerland.
Goodnight.
I've got an early game tomorrow.
What's Karine's problem?
She can't handle the pressure.
Jenny and her are
like little stars here.
She's lost it a bit
since her injury.
Guys, what are you doing?
Come on, guys! Let's go.
They're good, right?
Guys, put some pressure
in the end zone.
Stay together.
Go Lions!
Let's go, let's go!
Go Lions!
Noa, cover your man.
Guys, seriously,
they have the puck!
He hasn't come home.
Switzerland!
I thought you'd gone back
to your mountains!
Come play.
We're just fooling
around before training.
I don't have my skates.
Go help yourself
at the rental desk.
We'll find you a stick.
Hurry up!
The ice is calling!
Wooh!
Manon, what are you doing here?
Oh, oh, oh.
Wow the backhand!
You're killing it, Manon.
Oh!
I'll take care of her.
Alex, she crushed you.
Woohoo.
Come over here!
Where did you learn
to play hockey like that?
I played in Switzerland.
In Junior Elite with the boys.
Are you a goalie?
No, I'm a winger.
How old are you?
Okay guys, I've prepared
a training for Colmar.
I think we'll have to...
Guys, this is Manon.
She's gonna be joining us.
She played in Switzerland
in Junior Elite.
She is a right-winger.
I hope you guys can keep up.
No, guys, seriously.
She's a girl. No checking.
But right wing is my position.
Where will she play?
Yeah, well, Alex, you've scored
two goals this season.
You're not exactly killing it.
Guys, no one has earned
their place here.
We only have a few games left.
If we don't win our next games,
we're relegated.
I'll be looking for a job
and you guys will be skating
in tights!
Go practice! Let's go!
Come on!
Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!
Good job, boys!
Perfect!
Good job, le boys.
We have to climb up here.
Are there no guards?
Don't worry, Switzerland.
This is my territory.
Okay.
What are you giving her?
Nothing, it's fine...
Don't worry. It's fine.
What's their problem?
Let it go. Girls' stuff.
You're really braindead
sometimes.
Calm down, it's nothing.
It looks bad, right?
No.
I don't like girls.
Neither do I.
Man, what the hell?
What's up with you?
Are they together?
No.
It's always complicated
with them.
They've known each other
since they were little.
They'd make a good couple.
You girls are annoying!
Are you still on your own?
Do you want some?
Hmm.
Hmm.
What are you playing?
When is your dad coming back?
Come on!
Goal.
That's four.
If you played hockey
like this, we'd be saved.
You're no better.
Can you give me 5 Euros?
For what? Water is free.
We've got practice soon.
I know. Get off my back.
Thanks.
You don't have to give her
cash whenever she asks.
It's just a beer.
I'm killing it here.
Don't spin it!
You're not playing great today.
I want to play.
Go ahead.
No, come on!
You're such a pain.
Leave me alone.
Play by the rules.
Easy, don't take it out
on the foosball.
Why do you keep staring at me?
I'm not staring at you.
You're weird.
Manon, for fuck's sake.
Stop it!
Let it go.
She thinks she's Beyonc.
Go fuck yourself!
Don't worry.
She'll calm down.
Come on, let's play.
Come on, Manon.
You're going to get it.
-What do you want?
-You shouldn't be driving.
Go away, Manon.
What the fuck have I done
to you?
Fuck!
You're not being clear!
I'm sorry.
Forget it, Manon.
Oh, oh!
What the hell are you doing?
What are you doing to my van?
-Let go!
-Have you lost it?
Come on.
Come in.
Take a seat.
Thank you.
Where's Frank?
Why do you have a Swiss ID card?
Is she really your daughter?
My stepdaughter.
Her mother is Swiss.
And her dad?
He's away for a few days.
Are you sure you want
to press charges?
Yes, who's going to pay
for my wing mirror?
Don't you want
to pay for his mirror?
Wow.
You're okay?
Did that help?
You broke it.
Dinner's ready.
We won't wait for you.
He's been gone for weeks.
It's not the first time.
He always comes back,
when he has nowhere else to go.
Why did you lie to the cop?
What do you care about me?
I wasn't going to leave you
alone with them.
You're Lou's sister after all.
I thought, with you here,
he might come back sooner.
Why did you give them
my address?
I live in a home.
What about your mother?
What about her?
What did you do?
Did you run away?
Manon!
Okay, play guys!
Go!
Move out, Manon.
Great, Manon. Good move!
Oh, oh, Alex, calm down!
Manon!
Manon, get off my back!
Off the ice!
I'm out, but he was the one
provoking me?
I said, no checking.
Same goes for you.
I played with much better
guys in Switzerland.
Maybe, but now you play
in Belfort.
Okay, guys, keep going.
You're one player down.
Go with him. Go with him.
Sorry about the other day.
I didn't want to hurt you.
I'm just a bit stressed with
the competition coming up.
Are you okay?
-Come, hurry up.
-Yeah, I'm good.
Belfort isn't so ugly after all.
You're easy to please.
I was born here.
Really?
We moved to Switzerland
when I was 5 or 6.
It's quiet here.
I usually never go out.
The ice rink, college...
I don't go anywhere else.
It will be your fault
if I don't qualify.
Why did you come back?
I don't know where else to go.
I lost my mum when I was little.
I'm sorry.
It's fine.
It was a long time ago.
Let's go?
Can you take these sticks?
Man, there's never any
space on this damn bus.
Come on, we'll put
them in the front.
Hi guys.
Are you ready?
Hey coach!
Are you ready?
Yeah.
Are you ready, Manon?
Come on,
stay close to your guys!
Fuck!
Change up!
Change up!
Guys, this is ridiculous!
You are leaving the player
with the puck by himself!
He has nobody to work with!
Do what we've been practicing!
Work together!
They freak out as soon as
the pressure's on.
I can't do everything.
Why don't you put her in?
Get ready.
Hey, change up, change up,
change up.
Let's go!
Careful,
they're vicious out there.
I'm used to it.
Well done, Manon!
Well done, well done!
Keep going like that!
Stop showing off, Switzerland.
There you go. Great!
More toned, more toned.
The legs are stretched.
Stretch. Stretch.
Well done. Do it like that.
Come on Manon.
You're the reason we won!
Don't you have something for me?
-Come on.
-No.
I can't even get
through my jumps.
No, I've got nothing.
What do you care?
Do you want me to blow you?
No way. What's with you?
Karine, you have to stop this.
It's okay. I'm handling it.
No, you're not.
Look at yourself.
Are you jealous or what?
My injury is convenient for you.
You're the little queen now.
Karine, what's going on?
Stop harassing me
with your questions!
It's about time.
Ah, those bastards!
Come.
On top of that, you're all
in really bad shape.
I'm done!
You really suck.
Are you a pharmacist now?
They're vitamins.
Yeah, right.
Take me for a fool.
So what?
You've never taken anything?
Just some Creatine,
but that's all.
Damn, even with that
you have to show off.
What do you give Karine?
Nothing.
And you've never taken anything?
No, I stick to what's natural.
I'm going to bed.
Is that you?
I wish.
That's in Canada.
Did Frank buy the motorbike?
Yes.
You could have told me
you were coming home late.
Come on, I'm not 10 anymore.
Manon, don't be stupid.
I'm asking you
to make an effort.
You're not alone here.
No wonder my dad left,
you're such a pain in the ass.
What the hell?
You don't know me, okay?
You know nothing about us.
He hasn't left.
He's buying trees.
Fuck, wake up!
Are you really that naive?
My dad is a coward.
He's never done
anything for anyone.
He abandoned me and my mother
and now he's doing
the same thing.
Do you want to give me a hand?
Come on.
Put these on.
Cover all the dirt with it.
This protects them
from the cold.
That way they can grow
properly, even in winter.
Too ugly I can't buy this.
What do you want me to do?
Do you want me
to invent your dress?
Girl, that stinks!
Sorry, I can't help it.
No, I'm not messing with you.
Well, you should have
done it earlier.
There's nothing to
choose from here.
We'll have time to adjust it,
Andrea, it's fine.
Okay, I have to go.
Yeah, bye.
Fuck, what a drag.
Everything's ugly.
Yeah.
This would look great on you.
Look.
Stunning.
I've got this model too,
if you like.
No...
She's a skater, not a whore.
I'm sorry.
I think it's best we go.
-Thank you, Miss.
-Good bye.
Girls, the sunglasses!
Run, run!
Oh the cat!
You finished late.
Yeah.
You look exhausted.
Yeah, Andrea's getting
on my nerves
with her stupid trainings.
Plus my ankle hurts.
She just wants you to succeed,
you've made enough sacrifices
it would be a shame not to.
Don't you think?
I don't know,
she gets on my nerves.
Do you skate, too?
No, I play hockey.
I'm going to the hospital.
Don't wait up.
Dinner's in the fridge.
Is your mom a doctor?
Yes, a radiologist.
I hate her almost as much
as Andrea.
How can you hate your mother?
Why? Was yours perfect?
You've moved around a lot?
Yeah, I've been to a lot
of hotel rooms and ice rinks.
Fancy, right?
Are you going to stay
in Belfort?
I hope not.
Why?
I don't want to get attached.
How did you do that?
My mother was ironing
my hockey shirt
and I told her that you
don't iron hockey shirts.
It's not her fault,
she wasn't well.
I knew I shouldn't
have said anything.
I wasn't easy either.
How was she unwell?
I'm not sure.
When I left the hospital,
she didn't stop calling me.
But I never wanted
to see her again.
I moved into the home
and she kept telling me,
if I didn't come back,
she'd kill herself.
And she did it.
-Bobby's here.
-Bobby's here.
You're disgusting, girl.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
Damn...
We match.
Does that hurt?
A bit,
but I'm used to it.
I'm sorry.
I'm here.
Look at me.
Go, go!
There's a car.
What's going on?
Stop giving Karine those pills.
What are you talking about?
Don't fuck with me, Noa.
Careful, she'll headbutt you.
Do you want another one?
I don't anymore.
It was just to help her
before championships.
-Yeah, right.
-Don't you start.
I've already got Jenny
on my back.
-Go sit down.
-Don't talk to me like that.
-Is everything okay here?
-Yeah.
What are you looking at?
Fuck Manon, pass it to me.
I was free.
Asshole! Come here!
Stop, stop!
Stop that!
You'll get a penalty.
I can't do my Salchow jump.
Maybe you should stop
for today.
You look tired.
I have to go through my routine.
-Should we go to your place?
-What?
-Should we go to your place?
-And do what?
It's totally lame
and it's not my home either.
Is your stepmother not here?
No, her car is gone.
Don't you have anything else?
I don't know.
Who's that?
What are you doing here?
Come here.
Sophie, Lou is all alone here.
What am I supposed to do?
You can't just leave him
like this.
Is that your little brother?
What the hell is she doing?
Relax...
She must be out having fun.
With you here, I'm sure she
doesn't get much of that.
I'm kidding...
Don't drink the whole thing.
You have to earn a bottle
of vodka.
Mmhmm.
Don't be a smartass.
Go on, cough all over me.
You're turning
into an alcoholic.
I have to pee.
Don't make that face.
I'm not.
Fuck. Shit!
Karine, are you okay?
Yeah, I'm coming.
Are you sure, you're okay?
Yeah, I'm coming.
I have to go.
What's gotten into you?
Let go of me!
Empty your pockets.
-Empty your pockets!
-No!
Really? Is that why
you wanted to come here?
I don't need a lecture.
Fucking look at yourself.
You're addicted to painkillers.
Stop skating if it's going
to screw you up like this.
Shut up!
You know nothing about me.
Your ankle became an excuse,
you look like a junkie.
Stop it, Karine.
Fucking react!
Do something, Manon.
You're the sick one.
Look at yourself,
covered in scars.
But it's not your fault, Manon.
Your mother was a nutcase.
And you were too soft on her.
You're doing the same to me.
Like a little dog.
Forget her and forget me.
Hmm.
You look tired.
Come see her.
She's waiting for you.
Why did you let him leave?
He's coming back.
Look at yourself.
Stop crying for him
like a little dog.
What are you doing, Manon?
I'm leaving.
Just like my dad.
Did he say where he was going?
No...
Hold on, Manon...
He really wants to change.
And you really don't get it?
Are you really that stupid?
Please, stay.
Let me go.
Hi Stef.
Someone's sleeping
in the girls' locker room.
Manon?
Are you going
on a trip somewhere?
Come with me.
Did you play in Canada?
Yes.
I coached there, too.
They have professional
women's teams there.
Yeah.
They even get paid
to play hockey now.
Do you think I'm good enough?
Go change, let's go practice.
Right now?
Have you got something else
to do?
Back check.
Back check.
Back check.
Cover your puck.
Go, go, go!
Back check.
You lack courage.
You're not finished.
Give me two minutes.
What are you doing here?
What?
What are you doing here?
I don't know.
I want to play hockey.
For the Lions?
No.
What are you waiting for then?
I didn't choose to be here.
And you think you'll fit
in there?
I'm ready
and I'm better than the boys.
Show me then.
You don't have the courage,
Manon.
Let's go!
Manon, calm down.
-Manon!
-Fuck!
-Let go of me!
-Manon, calm down!
Manon! Manon! Manon!
That's enough!
Calm down!
You belong on the ice.
The day you realize that,
you can play wherever you want.
In Canada or elsewhere.
Thank you, Jenny Delaunay.
Your turn.
Concentrate, okay?
Give it your all.
Go all the way.
Well done, Jenny.
Karine Valence on the ice.
Well done, Karine.
That wasn't bad.
If you skate well later,
you'll be fine.
Hey Karine.
Karine Valence scored 40.57.
We're leaving in an hour.
Which rank is Karine?
She's second.
She did good.
She's about to go again.
Man, he's got it figured out!
I should have done
figure skating.
Next up, the free skate program.
Where the hell is Karine?
Karine?
Karine!
Karine.
I'm here. I'm here.
Help! Someone help!
Breathe.
We lose this match,
we're relegated.
You'll be playing
in your backyards
and I'll be out of a job.
She's out of surgery.
Jenny says it went well.
Be proud to be on this team!
Be proud to be a Lion!
Let's go guys!
Let's get ready guys!
Go! Go! Go Manon!
Hey, ref!
Calm down, guys!
Guys!
Guys! Penalty shot!
Karine,
what are you doing outside?
Karine,
what are you doing outside?
I'm coming.
Fuck,
she reminds me of Andrea.
Pain in the ass.
I thought you didn't like girls.
I don't like girls.
I only like you.
Hey Switzerland. Let's go.
You're late.
Yes exactly, well done.
Go Karine!
Push up from your legs!
Karine,
you can't jump like that.
You look like an elephant.
-Are you okay, Karine?
-It hurts when I land.
You've been injured
for six months now.
Something has to be done.
Fuck off.
Don't talk to your coach
like that.
Give me a hand instead
of just staring like that.
Does that hurt?
What do you think?
You're not from around here.
What are you doing in Belfort?
Sightseeing.
Well, you must love it.
Do you know a guy called
Frank Rivire?
He works at the cafe.
It only opens at weekends.
You'll have to come back
tomorrow.
Damn girl,
Andrea's going to kill you.
She's not the one skating.
She gets on my nerves.
Who's she?
I don't know.
She's sightseeing.
She won't find much to see
in Belfort.
Are you going tomorrow night?
-Yeah.
-Okay, cool.
What's your name?
Manon.
You look better without it,
Manon.
What the hell are you doing?
What are you doing here?
It's closed.
You can't stay.
Do you know Frank Rivire?
I think he works here.
Yeah, I've seen him around.
Why?
You know when he'll be here?
He doesn't work here anymore.
He's over at a greenhouse now.
Where's that?
Hold on...
-Can I take a picture?
-Go ahead.
Thank you.
Can I help you?
Do you know where this is?
That's near La Chapelle.
Is it far?
About 10 minutes away.
10 minutes?
Yes, 10 minutes by car.
Can I use your toilet?
They're for clients only.
We don't take Swiss Francs.
Is it still far?
It's at the end
of the road there.
Sometimes the road is cut off
when there's too much snow.
Can I help you?
Is Frank home?
What do you want from him?
He's my dad.
What?
I think you've got
the wrong address.
Frank doesn't have a daughter.
When was the last time
you saw him?
I don't know.
Three years, maybe.
Why didn't you come earlier?
Where do you live?
In Switzerland.
With your mother?
With my mother.
So, where is Frank?
He left...
to buy some trees.
Are you all alone?
Ok... Bye.
Did you find the guy
you were looking for?
No.
Your shirt is great.
What team is it?
Coire.
Where's that?
I've never heard of them.
They're Swiss,
from the Grisons.
Out in the middle of nowhere.
Yeah, as if Belfort is New York.
Rivire...
Who's that?
Are you a fan of his?
No, it's my shirt.
I play for them.
Yeah, with girls.
More like figure skating, right?
Come on, Alex. Drop it.
What do you want? Move!
I'm not going to hit a girl.
Fuck.
You had it coming, Alex.
What are you doing?
I'm leaving. Can't you see?
Are you going to buy me a drink?
I don't have any money.
Are you going out with Alex?
No chance!
I have no time for guys.
Can you get me a vodka tonic?
My coach knows the barman
and he'll tell on me.
A vodka tonic
and a glass of water, please.
Do you have a guy
in Switzerland?
No.
Well, yes.
But it's not important.
Does it hurt when you practice?
Yeah,
but I don't have a choice.
I have to place at least third
in my next competition
to make it to the
French championship.
So, you play hockey?
It's a bit of a dumb sport, no?
Hey lezzies, let's head to
the old skating rink.
It's dead here.
Okay, we're coming.
Are you coming?
From Quebec?
The North of France.
Man, what are you doing?
Hey, Switzerland, catch!
What is she doing here?
And your girl?
Why is she coming?
Man, your car is fucked.
We're not all going
to fit in it.
Careful with the seats.
Keep your eyes on the road.
Fuck Noa,
stop touching me like that!
Careful!
Sorry, sorry!
I'm coming.
-Karine, wait for me!
-Come on then.
Aren't you coming?
Yeah, come on!
Show us what you can do!
Unless you're scared...
Okay, are you ready?
Go on then.
Go!
Go on, Noa!
Go on, Manon!
Come on guys!
Jeez Lucas...
Where are you going?
To get a drink.
Come on, Noa!
Fuck!
There was a crack.
Yeah, great excuse.
Damn, Noa!
No shame in defeat.
It happens to everyone!
Not bad, Switzerland.
Stop Karine!
Fuck...
You're really stupid.
-It's fine!
-I'm just messing around.
Fuck it. I'm leaving.
Karine's crazy!
Where should I drop you off?
Don't worry.
I left my bike at the ice rink.
I'll figure it out.
You're soaked,
you can sleep at my place.
I'll lend you some clothes.
No, my place is not an option.
My parents are going to kill me
for coming home that late.
-Bye.
-Come on then.
Hurry up!
Did your parents pay
for all this?
My parents don't have a penny.
They have a farm,
but that's not my thing.
You're impressive on the ice.
I've played hockey
since I was little.
-Are you on a girls' team?
-No.
I play with guys.
Seriously?
Don't you struggle to keep up?
No.
What are you doing here?
Why didn't you stay
in Switzerland?
I got into a fight.
And they kicked you
off the team for that?
I wanted to get out anyway.
You're funny, Switzerland.
Goodnight.
I've got an early game tomorrow.
What's Karine's problem?
She can't handle the pressure.
Jenny and her are
like little stars here.
She's lost it a bit
since her injury.
Guys, what are you doing?
Come on, guys! Let's go.
They're good, right?
Guys, put some pressure
in the end zone.
Stay together.
Go Lions!
Let's go, let's go!
Go Lions!
Noa, cover your man.
Guys, seriously,
they have the puck!
He hasn't come home.
Switzerland!
I thought you'd gone back
to your mountains!
Come play.
We're just fooling
around before training.
I don't have my skates.
Go help yourself
at the rental desk.
We'll find you a stick.
Hurry up!
The ice is calling!
Wooh!
Manon, what are you doing here?
Oh, oh, oh.
Wow the backhand!
You're killing it, Manon.
Oh!
I'll take care of her.
Alex, she crushed you.
Woohoo.
Come over here!
Where did you learn
to play hockey like that?
I played in Switzerland.
In Junior Elite with the boys.
Are you a goalie?
No, I'm a winger.
How old are you?
Okay guys, I've prepared
a training for Colmar.
I think we'll have to...
Guys, this is Manon.
She's gonna be joining us.
She played in Switzerland
in Junior Elite.
She is a right-winger.
I hope you guys can keep up.
No, guys, seriously.
She's a girl. No checking.
But right wing is my position.
Where will she play?
Yeah, well, Alex, you've scored
two goals this season.
You're not exactly killing it.
Guys, no one has earned
their place here.
We only have a few games left.
If we don't win our next games,
we're relegated.
I'll be looking for a job
and you guys will be skating
in tights!
Go practice! Let's go!
Come on!
Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!
Good job, boys!
Perfect!
Good job, le boys.
We have to climb up here.
Are there no guards?
Don't worry, Switzerland.
This is my territory.
Okay.
What are you giving her?
Nothing, it's fine...
Don't worry. It's fine.
What's their problem?
Let it go. Girls' stuff.
You're really braindead
sometimes.
Calm down, it's nothing.
It looks bad, right?
No.
I don't like girls.
Neither do I.
Man, what the hell?
What's up with you?
Are they together?
No.
It's always complicated
with them.
They've known each other
since they were little.
They'd make a good couple.
You girls are annoying!
Are you still on your own?
Do you want some?
Hmm.
Hmm.
What are you playing?
When is your dad coming back?
Come on!
Goal.
That's four.
If you played hockey
like this, we'd be saved.
You're no better.
Can you give me 5 Euros?
For what? Water is free.
We've got practice soon.
I know. Get off my back.
Thanks.
You don't have to give her
cash whenever she asks.
It's just a beer.
I'm killing it here.
Don't spin it!
You're not playing great today.
I want to play.
Go ahead.
No, come on!
You're such a pain.
Leave me alone.
Play by the rules.
Easy, don't take it out
on the foosball.
Why do you keep staring at me?
I'm not staring at you.
You're weird.
Manon, for fuck's sake.
Stop it!
Let it go.
She thinks she's Beyonc.
Go fuck yourself!
Don't worry.
She'll calm down.
Come on, let's play.
Come on, Manon.
You're going to get it.
-What do you want?
-You shouldn't be driving.
Go away, Manon.
What the fuck have I done
to you?
Fuck!
You're not being clear!
I'm sorry.
Forget it, Manon.
Oh, oh!
What the hell are you doing?
What are you doing to my van?
-Let go!
-Have you lost it?
Come on.
Come in.
Take a seat.
Thank you.
Where's Frank?
Why do you have a Swiss ID card?
Is she really your daughter?
My stepdaughter.
Her mother is Swiss.
And her dad?
He's away for a few days.
Are you sure you want
to press charges?
Yes, who's going to pay
for my wing mirror?
Don't you want
to pay for his mirror?
Wow.
You're okay?
Did that help?
You broke it.
Dinner's ready.
We won't wait for you.
He's been gone for weeks.
It's not the first time.
He always comes back,
when he has nowhere else to go.
Why did you lie to the cop?
What do you care about me?
I wasn't going to leave you
alone with them.
You're Lou's sister after all.
I thought, with you here,
he might come back sooner.
Why did you give them
my address?
I live in a home.
What about your mother?
What about her?
What did you do?
Did you run away?
Manon!
Okay, play guys!
Go!
Move out, Manon.
Great, Manon. Good move!
Oh, oh, Alex, calm down!
Manon!
Manon, get off my back!
Off the ice!
I'm out, but he was the one
provoking me?
I said, no checking.
Same goes for you.
I played with much better
guys in Switzerland.
Maybe, but now you play
in Belfort.
Okay, guys, keep going.
You're one player down.
Go with him. Go with him.
Sorry about the other day.
I didn't want to hurt you.
I'm just a bit stressed with
the competition coming up.
Are you okay?
-Come, hurry up.
-Yeah, I'm good.
Belfort isn't so ugly after all.
You're easy to please.
I was born here.
Really?
We moved to Switzerland
when I was 5 or 6.
It's quiet here.
I usually never go out.
The ice rink, college...
I don't go anywhere else.
It will be your fault
if I don't qualify.
Why did you come back?
I don't know where else to go.
I lost my mum when I was little.
I'm sorry.
It's fine.
It was a long time ago.
Let's go?
Can you take these sticks?
Man, there's never any
space on this damn bus.
Come on, we'll put
them in the front.
Hi guys.
Are you ready?
Hey coach!
Are you ready?
Yeah.
Are you ready, Manon?
Come on,
stay close to your guys!
Fuck!
Change up!
Change up!
Guys, this is ridiculous!
You are leaving the player
with the puck by himself!
He has nobody to work with!
Do what we've been practicing!
Work together!
They freak out as soon as
the pressure's on.
I can't do everything.
Why don't you put her in?
Get ready.
Hey, change up, change up,
change up.
Let's go!
Careful,
they're vicious out there.
I'm used to it.
Well done, Manon!
Well done, well done!
Keep going like that!
Stop showing off, Switzerland.
There you go. Great!
More toned, more toned.
The legs are stretched.
Stretch. Stretch.
Well done. Do it like that.
Come on Manon.
You're the reason we won!
Don't you have something for me?
-Come on.
-No.
I can't even get
through my jumps.
No, I've got nothing.
What do you care?
Do you want me to blow you?
No way. What's with you?
Karine, you have to stop this.
It's okay. I'm handling it.
No, you're not.
Look at yourself.
Are you jealous or what?
My injury is convenient for you.
You're the little queen now.
Karine, what's going on?
Stop harassing me
with your questions!
It's about time.
Ah, those bastards!
Come.
On top of that, you're all
in really bad shape.
I'm done!
You really suck.
Are you a pharmacist now?
They're vitamins.
Yeah, right.
Take me for a fool.
So what?
You've never taken anything?
Just some Creatine,
but that's all.
Damn, even with that
you have to show off.
What do you give Karine?
Nothing.
And you've never taken anything?
No, I stick to what's natural.
I'm going to bed.
Is that you?
I wish.
That's in Canada.
Did Frank buy the motorbike?
Yes.
You could have told me
you were coming home late.
Come on, I'm not 10 anymore.
Manon, don't be stupid.
I'm asking you
to make an effort.
You're not alone here.
No wonder my dad left,
you're such a pain in the ass.
What the hell?
You don't know me, okay?
You know nothing about us.
He hasn't left.
He's buying trees.
Fuck, wake up!
Are you really that naive?
My dad is a coward.
He's never done
anything for anyone.
He abandoned me and my mother
and now he's doing
the same thing.
Do you want to give me a hand?
Come on.
Put these on.
Cover all the dirt with it.
This protects them
from the cold.
That way they can grow
properly, even in winter.
Too ugly I can't buy this.
What do you want me to do?
Do you want me
to invent your dress?
Girl, that stinks!
Sorry, I can't help it.
No, I'm not messing with you.
Well, you should have
done it earlier.
There's nothing to
choose from here.
We'll have time to adjust it,
Andrea, it's fine.
Okay, I have to go.
Yeah, bye.
Fuck, what a drag.
Everything's ugly.
Yeah.
This would look great on you.
Look.
Stunning.
I've got this model too,
if you like.
No...
She's a skater, not a whore.
I'm sorry.
I think it's best we go.
-Thank you, Miss.
-Good bye.
Girls, the sunglasses!
Run, run!
Oh the cat!
You finished late.
Yeah.
You look exhausted.
Yeah, Andrea's getting
on my nerves
with her stupid trainings.
Plus my ankle hurts.
She just wants you to succeed,
you've made enough sacrifices
it would be a shame not to.
Don't you think?
I don't know,
she gets on my nerves.
Do you skate, too?
No, I play hockey.
I'm going to the hospital.
Don't wait up.
Dinner's in the fridge.
Is your mom a doctor?
Yes, a radiologist.
I hate her almost as much
as Andrea.
How can you hate your mother?
Why? Was yours perfect?
You've moved around a lot?
Yeah, I've been to a lot
of hotel rooms and ice rinks.
Fancy, right?
Are you going to stay
in Belfort?
I hope not.
Why?
I don't want to get attached.
How did you do that?
My mother was ironing
my hockey shirt
and I told her that you
don't iron hockey shirts.
It's not her fault,
she wasn't well.
I knew I shouldn't
have said anything.
I wasn't easy either.
How was she unwell?
I'm not sure.
When I left the hospital,
she didn't stop calling me.
But I never wanted
to see her again.
I moved into the home
and she kept telling me,
if I didn't come back,
she'd kill herself.
And she did it.
-Bobby's here.
-Bobby's here.
You're disgusting, girl.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
Damn...
We match.
Does that hurt?
A bit,
but I'm used to it.
I'm sorry.
I'm here.
Look at me.
Go, go!
There's a car.
What's going on?
Stop giving Karine those pills.
What are you talking about?
Don't fuck with me, Noa.
Careful, she'll headbutt you.
Do you want another one?
I don't anymore.
It was just to help her
before championships.
-Yeah, right.
-Don't you start.
I've already got Jenny
on my back.
-Go sit down.
-Don't talk to me like that.
-Is everything okay here?
-Yeah.
What are you looking at?
Fuck Manon, pass it to me.
I was free.
Asshole! Come here!
Stop, stop!
Stop that!
You'll get a penalty.
I can't do my Salchow jump.
Maybe you should stop
for today.
You look tired.
I have to go through my routine.
-Should we go to your place?
-What?
-Should we go to your place?
-And do what?
It's totally lame
and it's not my home either.
Is your stepmother not here?
No, her car is gone.
Don't you have anything else?
I don't know.
Who's that?
What are you doing here?
Come here.
Sophie, Lou is all alone here.
What am I supposed to do?
You can't just leave him
like this.
Is that your little brother?
What the hell is she doing?
Relax...
She must be out having fun.
With you here, I'm sure she
doesn't get much of that.
I'm kidding...
Don't drink the whole thing.
You have to earn a bottle
of vodka.
Mmhmm.
Don't be a smartass.
Go on, cough all over me.
You're turning
into an alcoholic.
I have to pee.
Don't make that face.
I'm not.
Fuck. Shit!
Karine, are you okay?
Yeah, I'm coming.
Are you sure, you're okay?
Yeah, I'm coming.
I have to go.
What's gotten into you?
Let go of me!
Empty your pockets.
-Empty your pockets!
-No!
Really? Is that why
you wanted to come here?
I don't need a lecture.
Fucking look at yourself.
You're addicted to painkillers.
Stop skating if it's going
to screw you up like this.
Shut up!
You know nothing about me.
Your ankle became an excuse,
you look like a junkie.
Stop it, Karine.
Fucking react!
Do something, Manon.
You're the sick one.
Look at yourself,
covered in scars.
But it's not your fault, Manon.
Your mother was a nutcase.
And you were too soft on her.
You're doing the same to me.
Like a little dog.
Forget her and forget me.
Hmm.
You look tired.
Come see her.
She's waiting for you.
Why did you let him leave?
He's coming back.
Look at yourself.
Stop crying for him
like a little dog.
What are you doing, Manon?
I'm leaving.
Just like my dad.
Did he say where he was going?
No...
Hold on, Manon...
He really wants to change.
And you really don't get it?
Are you really that stupid?
Please, stay.
Let me go.
Hi Stef.
Someone's sleeping
in the girls' locker room.
Manon?
Are you going
on a trip somewhere?
Come with me.
Did you play in Canada?
Yes.
I coached there, too.
They have professional
women's teams there.
Yeah.
They even get paid
to play hockey now.
Do you think I'm good enough?
Go change, let's go practice.
Right now?
Have you got something else
to do?
Back check.
Back check.
Back check.
Cover your puck.
Go, go, go!
Back check.
You lack courage.
You're not finished.
Give me two minutes.
What are you doing here?
What?
What are you doing here?
I don't know.
I want to play hockey.
For the Lions?
No.
What are you waiting for then?
I didn't choose to be here.
And you think you'll fit
in there?
I'm ready
and I'm better than the boys.
Show me then.
You don't have the courage,
Manon.
Let's go!
Manon, calm down.
-Manon!
-Fuck!
-Let go of me!
-Manon, calm down!
Manon! Manon! Manon!
That's enough!
Calm down!
You belong on the ice.
The day you realize that,
you can play wherever you want.
In Canada or elsewhere.
Thank you, Jenny Delaunay.
Your turn.
Concentrate, okay?
Give it your all.
Go all the way.
Well done, Jenny.
Karine Valence on the ice.
Well done, Karine.
That wasn't bad.
If you skate well later,
you'll be fine.
Hey Karine.
Karine Valence scored 40.57.
We're leaving in an hour.
Which rank is Karine?
She's second.
She did good.
She's about to go again.
Man, he's got it figured out!
I should have done
figure skating.
Next up, the free skate program.
Where the hell is Karine?
Karine?
Karine!
Karine.
I'm here. I'm here.
Help! Someone help!
Breathe.
We lose this match,
we're relegated.
You'll be playing
in your backyards
and I'll be out of a job.
She's out of surgery.
Jenny says it went well.
Be proud to be on this team!
Be proud to be a Lion!
Let's go guys!
Let's get ready guys!
Go! Go! Go Manon!
Hey, ref!
Calm down, guys!
Guys!
Guys! Penalty shot!
Karine,
what are you doing outside?
Karine,
what are you doing outside?
I'm coming.
Fuck,
she reminds me of Andrea.
Pain in the ass.
I thought you didn't like girls.
I don't like girls.
I only like you.
Hey Switzerland. Let's go.
You're late.
