Skiff (2025) Movie Script
1
Your tempo is 18 to 20. Keep it up.
Catch close to the water. Good, Malou.
Slide more slowly on your seat, Malou.
Push harder on those legs, Olivia.
Pull your oars harder.
Don't look at your strokecoach, Julie.
Look straight ahead.
Let me help you.
So you see, if your catch is good,
everything else goes better.
My start wasn't good.
No, your tempo was low,
but if you concentrate more
and stop looking around so much,
you'll be fine.
Okay?
- Luc, can you give me a hand?
Yes. Be right there.
There's an arcade.
- Oh, fun.
But that gets old after two or three times.
- Of course.
What the fuck. She's not showering again.
- Ew. So gross.
Right?
- Totally.
Don't you ever get fungi?
We're just worried for you.
Oh my God.
Okay. We're going already.
Oh, sorry.
Oh, didn't see you there.
Fucking idiot!
That's mine.
Don't touch it.
Do we need to leave some for Mum?
- No, she'll eat at work.
Great combo.
- It's healthy.
Says who?
- Everyone who's an expert.
Thomas, all these bags go here, right?
- Yes.
These have all expired.
Can't sell them anymore.
You have to throw them away?
- Yes. You want them?
They'll last for at least another month.
- Yes. Thank you.
By the way, the new parts are in.
- Already?
Yes, it'll be ready
by your birthday for sure.
Really?
Thank you.
If I can return the favour, let me know.
- All right.
Goddammit.
Alex!
Did you go through my wardrobe?
Jesus.
- Did you go through my wardrobe?
No. Of course not.
Can you maybe knock next time?
Can you maybe study for your resits?
Max!
Hi.
Max went to get crisps. Are you Malou?
Yes.
- I am Nouria.
Sorry. I was wearing a skirt,
so Max gave me these.
The water is super dirty, though.
Do you have a filet?
Can I have a go?
Oh, thanks. I thought I was being nulle.
Uh, that I sucked.
Well, to be honest...
- What?
Thanks. Way to motivate someone.
Help me then.
Keep your wrists straight.
- Like this?
Yes. And no chicken wings.
- Chicken wings?
Yes. You're doing this.
Really?
- Yes.
Okay.
C'est mieux? Is that better?
Sort of.
- Sort of? Okay.
Go on then. Show me how it's done.
Yes, okay.
That does seem better.
And you do this every day?
Yes. In here or on the water.
Isn't that boring?
No.
Where's the fun in it?
Don't know.
You get away from everything.
You've met, I see.
- Yes.
Hi.
- Hey.
Let me officially introduce you.
Malou, Nouria. Nouria, Malou.
Nice to meet you.
Next time ask
before you go through my wardrobe.
Relax. You're in mine all the time.
Aren't those my shorts?
Blue crisps? What is that?
What are you doing?
- Nothing.
Are you really giving her that?
Yes.
What do you think of Nouria?
Don't know. I've seen her once.
And?
What does that mean?
It's just strange to see you snog.
Okay, but do you think she's cute?
What do I know?
Wow, you really suck.
That's how you do it.
Okay. Hang on.
1-0.
- Nice one.
Bring it on, bitch.
- Bitch?
Me, a bitch?
- Yes, you.
Who's the bitch here?
- Oww, let go, Max.
Who's the bitch?
- Let go.
Max, let go of me. Oww.
Yes. In the middle, Alex.
- You've got a faster car.
Yes, go on.
- What do you mean, you're a better driver?
You watch this.
- Grab the turbo, Louis.
Watch out for the blocks.
Three, two, one.
- No, no.
Smooth.
- What a shame.
Can I play?
Yes.
- Fine by me. Two against two?
You two against you two.
And I'll take Louis's or Max's place.
No, sorry, but...
That means I'll lose. Malou sucks.
No, I don't.
- I'll play with Malou then.
No, you can't. That would really be unfair.
- Why not?
I always win against my two brothers.
- They're eight and ten.
Eleven.
So you two against Max and Louis?
- Yes. That's right.
If you're so sure,
shall we play for something?
Not everyone has rich parents, Louis.
- Doesn't have to be money.
What do you want to play for then?
Loser takes off a piece of clothing.
You're such a child.
- Okay, deal.
I don't want to see my sister naked.
No.
- Neither do I.
Deal?
- No, stop. I'll just start a new game.
Yes, let's go.
Go, go, go.
To the left!
I'll get him. I'll get him.
Without looking.
Nice try, ladies. So sorry.
It's okay. We played well, though.
You have to take something off.
- What?
That was the deal.
- It was a joke.
A deal is a deal.
- Okay. A deal is a deal.
All right. We heard you.
Whoa, what the fuck?
- It's okay.
Happy?
- That's an accessory, not clothing.
That's childish.
- Who is playing against me?
I am.
- Malou, your turn.
No.
- Stop it, Louis.
Or you got something to hide?
Louis, Jesus.
- Stop it.
Olivia says she never showers.
- Olivia should shut her mouth.
Not like there's something to see.
- Hey, Louis, let it go.
Or is there?
- Let it go.
What is the problem?
- Or is there?
What are you trying to do?
- Or is there?
Don't touch me!
Max, careful.
Say sorry.
- Max!
Apologise to Malou.
- Max, stop.
It's not funny, mate!
Let go of him.
- He just has to say sorry.
Let go of him!
- Say sorry to Malou!
Sorry.
- Let go.
Jesus. Fucking hell. Are you okay, Louis?
Are you okay?
Maybe you should sit down.
Sorry. I didn't realise
it was going to go this far.
You don't need to apologise.
Louis is a lunatic.
It's crazy how many medals you've got.
You get one just for taking part.
Max says you're really good.
Better than him anyway.
And where do you see it taking you?
Professionally?
I just enjoy it.
That ring was clever.
I'm not going to undress for that guy.
I have a big birthmark as well. Here.
See it?
Yes. It looks like a 'fuck you' finger.
What? What are you even saying?
Are you sure?
My mum always said
it looked like a little elephant.
Hi. Louis is gone.
Are you coming?
He's lucky he has a swimming pool.
Or he'd have far fewer friends.
Malou? Your rowing gear is dry.
Do you know what you want for your birthday?
No, hang on. What are you doing?
I've folded those.
Just grab... Now there's grass in there.
Do you know what you want for your birthday?
Uh, no.
Shall I drop you off?
Are you seeing someone?
It's Luc, isn't it?
Is that why you want to drop me off?
What's the point of this?
What do you want?
For you to stop lying.
We are getting to know each other.
What does that mean?
Are you together or not?
- I don't know.
If it gets serious,
you'll be the first to know. Promise.
Never mind. I don't need to know.
Sit upright, Anna.
Wrists, Malou.
Make more use of your body, Olivia.
Yes!
Good, eh? Great training.
Your catch needed work.
You seemed distracted.
And your oars... Rotate with
your fingers, less with your wrists.
Not a good training then.
- Yes, it was. It's just that...
You ought to train
in something else than the skiff.
Do you want to try with four
for the Belgian championship?
Why would I?
- Because you can learn from each other.
And... they're a man short.
That's their problem.
- Malou... Come on.
No, I mean it.
Hey.
- You okay?
Yes, great.
I'm waiting for Max. He's teaching the kids.
- Okay.
It was nice to see you rowing.
You were in your own little world.
Maybe you can teach me?
I've never rowed before and I want to try it.
I'm not cheap, though.
Just kidding.
- Okay.
Don't you want to sit down?
My cou hurts.
What's the word again for le cou?
- Neck.
Neck? Okay. My neck hurts.
You're from Brussels, right?
- Yes.
Where they make Brussels waffles.
How come you speak Dutch so well?
Thanks. It's just important for me.
Do you know the Cosmo? Here, in...
My aunt and uncle have owned it
since last year.
And this summer, I'm here to help them out,
but it also gives me the opportunity
to improve my Dutch.
Pardon me.
That was a good one.
You have to swallow a little bit of air.
Like this.
And then you release it
from the back of your throat. Try it.
No?
- It makes me feel sick.
Okay.
No?
You give me rowing lessons
and I'll give you burping lessons. Deal?
Okay.
- Yes.
Malou, why don't you want to row with us?
- Ignore them.
She thinks she's going
to be an Olympic champion.
Oh right. In the women's or men's category?
- I'm not really sure.
Look. Sorry to say this,
but you're really not that good.
Why do you say that?
- Mind your own business.
Max has really sunk low.
- Shut your mouth!
Olivia, what the fuck!
- You're crazy! Are you okay?
Dammit. Are you okay? Did you hurt yourself?
No, no.
- Do you have other clothes with you?
No, but it's okay.
Are you sure?
- Yes.
She's got issues.
- I'll dry up in the sun.
Are you mad?
Why does she act like that with you?
Is she jealous of you?
Or what?
Of you, more like.
What do you mean?
Because you're with him.
Yes...
Hang on. Wait.
Your back is still wet. Can I?
Do I put this here? Is that okay?
- Yes.
Yo, Rune.
- Hi, Max.
Here you go.
- Thanks.
Okay. Here.
Are you coming?
No.
- Why not?
I want to have a shower.
Okay, bye.
Malou?
I just need one minute in there.
Thanks. I'll hurry up.
You can look in my wardrobe too if you want.
I think we're about the same size.
I've been wearing
Max and Alex's clothes all my life.
You're not a kid anymore.
Can I? Turn around.
Focus on one point.
Yes, other side.
Focus on one point.
Stay there.
Go like this.
Now rub your lips together.
Look.
Beautiful, eh?
I need to go.
Bye, darling.
There are some leftovers in the fridge.
The stickleback.
His orange colour and bright blue eyes
reveal that he is ready to mate.
He builds a nest by sticking bits
of plant together with his spiggin.
The nest needs to be comfortable enough
so a female will want to lay her eggs in it.
What are you watching?
- Fish.
Are you eating this?
Is that make-up?
Okay.
Why don't you come with us next time?
There's a life outside of rowing.
Why so serious all the time?
Not in Willebroek.
Are you serious then?
- What do you mean?
About Nouria.
Yes.
Have you been to her house?
Only to her aunt and uncle's in the Cosmo.
They're chill.
And her parents?
- She doesn't talk much about them.
Do they know you're together?
I don't think so.
They're Muslim, right?
So?
What about you? The guy at the petrol
station, Thomas. Does he still fancy you?
We could go on a double date.
- No.
So you're just using him for your scooter.
- Hey.
No.
Three, two, one.
Long shall she live
Long shall she live
Long shall she live
In the gloria
In the gloria
In the gloria
Hip hip.
- Hurray.
Hip hip.
- Hurray.
Hip hip hippy.
- Hurray!
Happy birthday.
- Happy birthday, darling.
Congratulations, kiddo.
- Thank you.
I said I didn't want a fuss.
Sixteen is a milestone. Here you go.
- Thank you.
Whoa.
- No cheap stuff.
Good morning.
Thanks.
- That's not all.
What is it?
A one-night spa break. For two people.
Whoa.
- A little quality time for us both.
Do you have time for this?
- I will make time for it.
Nice, isn't it?
- Yes.
Max, give her ours.
- Yes. This...
is from me and Alex.
Yes.
Happy with the grey?
- It's perfect.
Come on, guys.
Are you serious?
- What?
Malou, you are not getting a scooter.
It's my money. I worked for it.
They have one, too.
It's not only about money.
It's not happening.
Doesn't matter. I got it already.
What?
Did you buy one behind my back?
They're not that easy to manoeuvre.
They're heavy.
Seriously? Is that your reason?
How will I get around then?
I'll drive you. Come on.
- Mum, honestly.
And you just went along with it?
- It's only fair, Mum.
She's 16. We bought one, too.
- So behind my back, you...
Goddammit!
- Mum.
You three!
I expected more of you, Alex!
Come on.
- Leave me.
It's clear that I'm all alone...
- Not at all. I don't get your problem?
What's the difference between Malou and us?
- Enough, Alex.
Just wait a second.
- Enough.
Jesus.
Happy birthday, Malou!
Xxx, Nouria
Birthday wishes?
I booked for in two weeks,
but we can always reschedule.
I'd rather not be naked with you in a sauna.
You can wear your swimsuit. And I can
wear mine if you're that embarrassed.
I don't like swimming.
- Come on.
Then why did you beg me for a swimming pool?
It will happen, girl.
I was a late bloomer, too.
You don't have to...
- Don't, Mum. Really, don't.
We're not at all the same.
- Take it easy.
I just meant
that you don't have to be embarrassed.
You don't get it.
I just wanted to spend some time with you.
So it's a present for yourself.
Malou, I may have overreacted
about the scooter.
But you can't make those decisions alone.
Malou?
What is happening...
- Maybe I should go live with Dad.
Oh my God.
- Happy birthday.
Wow.
- I pumped the tyres, fixed the brakes.
It's good to go.
- That colour!
Here.
Maybe we could go for a ride sometime?
Wait. I'll get mine.
- I'll be right back. I'm just trying it out.
Thanks. Time for that burping/rowing lesson?
Hello.
- Hey.
Pump number two. And this, please.
81.74 euros, please. Pay by card?
- Yes.
All good. Have a nice day.
Jesus, Malou. Take it easy.
What are you up to?
Celebrating.
- Who with?
Thomas.
Is that turning into something?
None of your business.
Okay. Have fun.
Where did you get that?
- I bought it.
Amazing. Do you have a driving licence?
I did my theory.
The practical is later this week. Oops.
Sorry, I don't have a present.
I was super busy here.
No worries.
Shall we?
- Can I get on?
Yes. Of course.
Sana helwa ya gamil.
Happy birthday.
Wait.
Wow.
Grab it at the back.
- There?
Yes. Careful.
On your shoulder now. Lift it!
Like this?
- Lift, lift.
Shoulder. Are you okay?
- Yes.
Okay, let's go.
Okay, sit down. Hold that. Like that.
- Sit down? There?
Yes, put that foot there.
- Okay.
Let's go.
Off we go.
Good.
- Like that?
Yes, and now follow my tempo.
Okay.
Follow my tempo.
- I'm trying, but it's difficult.
A bit slower.
- It looks easier watching it from the side.
Whoa!
- Don't let go! Don't let go! Grab your....
Rule number one.
- What?
Don't let go.
- Don't let go?
Stop with the chicken wings.
- Chicken wings?
Yes, chicken wings. Stop.
Really?
- Honestly.
Are you mad?
- It's your fault.
Wow.
Fuck.
- What?
My dad left a voice message.
You don't want to listen to it?
No, it's okay.
Have your parents been divorced for long?
Three years.
My dad cheated on my mum.
And now there's a baby, but we barely see it.
And your mum?
She's sort of seeing Luc, my coach.
Very awkward.
And your parents?
Nothing special. Happily married.
Max says you don't say much about them.
Max never takes the time
to ask about my parents.
He always wants to do stuff.
He has too much energy.
Does your aunt know you're together?
- No, no. I don't think so.
I hope not.
Otherwise my parents would know, too.
And you?
What's happening with the boy
at the petrol station?
Did Max tell you? Jesus.
Are you in love?
No.
Not at all.
He is with me, but he's 20, so...
The Olympic Games
in the women's or men's category...
Do you want to talk about that?
Not really.
It's my aunt.
I have to go home.
Come.
Fuck.
Are you okay?
- Yes, I'm okay.
Sorry.
My aunt is waiting for me.
Hello.
Do you know what time it is?
I promised your mum
you wouldn't be out after midnight.
This is not cool.
- I know. I'm sorry.
No. Not cool.
- Sorry.
Bye, Malou.
Is she very angry?
- No, she's all right.
Thanks.
Bye.
Malou?
- I'm doing something.
Why would you go via the canal?
- That's nicer.
Just go via Stationstraat.
That's the shortest way.
How much shorter? Five minutes?
- We'll take the short way coming back.
Okay.
- Where are you going?
To the Cosmo.
Can I come?
- If you're ready to lose.
We're leaving in five minutes.
- Okay. I'll get ready.
Keep going, Team Blue.
Fatality.
That's not fair.
You know the terrain too well.
Stop being so childish, Max.
Game on.
Fatality.
- That's lame.
I'll destroy you all!
Are you okay?
Are you okay?
- Yes.
Keep going, Team Blue.
Go, go, go.
If it's Max, I'll disqualify him immediately.
It's Alex.
- Is it? Let's get him.
End of round three.
- Are we done?
Wait.
- And the winner is...
Team Blue.
Well played!
Please return to the locker room.
We need to leave.
Come on. Faster.
I'm catching up.
- Run near the edges.
Faster.
- I'm catching up.
Near the edges.
- Yes, sorry.
Use your arms.
- Yes.
Malou! Join in. We'll have a bigger current.
Come on, Malou!
- We'll let go in a sec.
Faster, Alex.
Yes, Malou!
Yes, come.
- Faster.
Okay, ready?
- Yes.
Three, two, one. Let go.
Hello.
- Hello.
Quirky.
- Yes.
We're going to the barn later. Want to come?
Is Max going?
Yes.
I don't know. With Max there...
Is that a good idea?
I don't know.
Maybe you're right.
Ciao.
Your pineapple.
- It's yours. Happy birthday.
Hi.
- Hi.
Cheers.
Whoa, you idiot. That's my brother.
- Sorry, it was a joke.
Do you want to do a blunt?
What?
- A blunt.
What is that?
I'll show you.
- Fucking strong.
Okay, so... Like this. And just inhale.
- Ah, okay. Yes.
Strong, right?
- Yes.
Want to try?
No, thanks.
Go on then.
Okay.
Wow, that's nice.
Here we go. Smooth.
Malou, are you okay?
Are you okay?
- Are you okay?
Wait. Take that off.
Can I do something?
- Can you get some water?
Yes. All right.
You'll be all right.
I'm going to the toilet.
- Did I do something wrong?
No, it's fine.
- Just tell me.
No, I'm just going to the toilet, Max.
I'm going home.
- You're going home?
My aunt will wake up soon.
- This early?
Max, don't.
Just stay. We're having a nice time.
No, Max.
- Come on, Nouria.
No, Max. I know what you want.
It won't happen.
Why are you reacting like that?
- You're not listening. I said no.
Just stay half an hour longer...
- Stay here.
Come on, Nouria. Calm down.
Why are you reacting like this?
- I need to go home.
What the fuck.
Nouria?
Are you okay?
I wanted to ask you something.
My mum gave me this stupid spa weekend
for my birthday.
But I really don't want to go with her.
Maybe you want to come?
I'll check with my mum.
What are you doing here?
Didn't you have to go home?
I don't want to talk to you now.
Why is she here?
- She asked for advice.
About what?
- About you.
You had an argument, right?
Okay.
Now you know how it feels.
Hangovers are never fun, girl.
I wanted to ask you about the spa.
- Yes?
Good morning.
- Good morning.
Any fresh bread?
- Hey. I got that yesterday.
What about the spa?
I'd like to go with a friend.
It's my present. I can choose, right?
Who do you want to go with then?
Don't know yet.
- Malou, I would like to know who.
Once I know, I'll let you know.
Can you keep an eye on the soup?
You can be such a bitch sometimes.
What?
- Are you going with Nouria?
None of your business.
- She's Max's girlfriend.
So?
You should go with Mum. She's trying so hard.
Mum, I'm off to work!
I think Alex is on to us.
Don't know what to do. Nouria?
Where are you? On my way.
How did Alex find out? Did you say anything?
No.
I swear, I didn't.
Maybe it's not a good idea to go then.
Alex won't say anything.
- Are you sure?
I also feel bad about Max, but...
- Me too.
I feel really bad about Max.
It's not just about you or Max.
What do you want with him?
Do you want to be with him or not?
You really don't want to go anymore?
I'll pick you up with the scooter
on Saturday, okay?
My mum would like to call your mum first.
Need some soap?
- Hm?
Soap?
- Yeah, thanks.
Max, are you two coming?
You're not working?
- No, Thomas called to say I'm not needed.
Are you eating with us?
Can you help set the table for five?
Alex, can you help, too?
- I'm revising.
Who's joining us?
- Nouria is here.
I've called her mum and it's okay.
But I'd like
some quality time with you, too.
I hope you'll like it.
Hi.
- Hi.
Looking forward to it?
To what?
- Malou is taking Nouria to the spa.
Why don't I know about this?
- I thought you knew.
Yes, because it wasn't certain yet.
Okay.
Mum, do you want wine?
- Yes, a small glass.
Why are you taking Nouria?
Just because...
- Don't you have any other friends?
That's a bit sad, Malou.
Just go with Mum.
I need to work after all. Thomas called.
- Now?
Yes.
- You haven't eaten.
No.
Can I help?
- No, no. I'll do that.
Go and sit down. I'm coming.
Hello, this is Nouria Hallimi.
Hello, this is Nouria Ha...
Hello, this is Nouria Hallimi. Please...
Hello, this is Nouria Hallimi. Please...
Thank you.
This is so nice.
Oh, wow.
Look at that, Malou. This is mad.
Look at these. We're well looked after here.
This is so nice.
Why didn't you say
you were coming for dinner?
Max said you'd be at work.
How was he after?
Not happy.
Does he know you're here?
I do what I want.
Let's go.
Come on. Get in. It's so good.
Okay.
One, two, three.
Well... That's no good.
- Sorry.
What?
A hair.
- No.
That's so gross.
So gross.
Are you laughing at my face?
- Yes.
Thank you.
You're too cute.
You have such a pretty little face.
I mean it.
You're real.
I think that's beautiful.
What?
I don't know.
What don't you know?
If I'm real.
And what I want for real.
I feel that, too.
With Max.
I really thought
I could fall in love with him.
I hoped I could.
Yes.
But when I'm with you...
It's so shit to feel bad
about something that feels good.
Are you okay? What are you doing here?
Everything okay, Max?
What's going on between you two?
What do you mean?
You kissed behind the petrol station.
What makes you say that?
- That's what Thomas told me.
Thomas is just jealous.
- Why would he lie about it?
I don't know. Because he...
- What?
He wants attention and...
He's got a crush on Malou.
- Nouria, please.
Max, no.
- Stop lying.
Lying about what?
So Thomas isn't lying, but I am?
With your sister, Max? Are you serious?
So nothing happened?
You said Malou was alone.
I was trying to be her friend.
Nouria, I know.
- No, you don't.
I know about this!
- No, you don't know anything, Max!
You know what, leave it. You wear me out.
Nouria...
- Let go of me! Act normal.
Nouria, stay here.
- Let go of me, I said.
Nouria, stay here!
Malou!
Malou!
Malou?
Malou, let me in.
- Max, take it easy.
I mean it. Let me in.
- Calm down.
Just open the door.
- Stop. Max, stop.
Are you going to lie, too?
Is it true or not?
And I defended you all this time!
Tell me.
- Max, stop!
Malou, tell me.
- Get off me!
Tell me!
- Max, calm down.
Tell me!
- Stop.
Just admit it!
- Let go of me!
Alex!
Max, what the fuck, dude. Stop, stop.
Max, I can't breathe.
- Get off me!
Stop!
Dude! Let go of her. Let...
Jesus fucking Christ, dude! Let go of her!
Fucking let her go!
You've got a fucking problem!
- Fuck you!
What's going on in here?
What happened?
Max, Malou, what happened?
Max? What happened, I said.
Malou?
Malou!
Malou, stay here!
Malou, wait!
Hello, this is Nouria Hallimi.
Hey. Where have you been?
I was worried sick.
Is everything okay?
Why didn't you answer your phone?
Max got a severe punishment.
Hello, this is Nouria Hallimi.
Please leave a message after...
Mum's not here tonight.
- I know. She's got a date with Luc.
There's more bread if you want.
How was training?
Good.
How was your resit?
We'll see.
Can I have the ketchup?
Hello, this is Nouria Hallimi. Please...
Hello.
- Hi, Malou. Are you okay?
Is Nouria here?
- No, she's gone back home.
Why?
- She didn't say.
Hello. Can I help you?
- Hello.
Do you speak Dutch?
- A little.
Is Nouria here?
- Nouria?
What is your name?
- Malou.
Oh, Malou from Willebroek?
I'm Nouria's mum. But she's not here now.
She's picking up the boys from football.
You can wait for her here if you like.
Okay, thank you.
Did you have a nice weekend away?
- Yes.
It's good for her
to make friends in Willebroek.
Yes.
Let me call her.
Okay.
Hi, darling.
No.
Your friend is waiting here at home.
Malou...
Hurry up.
Okay, see you soon.
She's rushing back.
- Yes.
Why don't you answer my calls?
- Why are you at my home?
Why are you back home? You ran away.
Malou, you...
- First you say you think I'm pretty
and then you tell my brother shit about me
and you disappear.
You don't answer my calls.
You're ignoring me.
That's why I'm here.
I can decide for myself
if I want to answer my phone or not.
You can't just say those things and run away.
What did you want me to say? The truth?
So...
That's it.
- What?
You can just use me.
- Use you?
Yes, you try something out
and go back home.
What the fuck, Malou.
Okay. I know what to do then.
- What?
What, Malou? What do you mean? Malou, stop...
Madam.
- Yes?
Is there a problem?
No.
Nouria is on her way.
Okay.
Everything okay?
- Yes.
And the boys?
- Okay.
Me.
- No, me.
Mum, we won. We won 5-0.
- Great.
I scored the last goal with my left foot.
- That's great.
Can we go gaming?
- Yes.
I'm thirsty. Are you?
Everything okay, girls?
She's thirsty. I'll be back.
Did you say anything?
Malou, answer me.
Did you say something or not?
Did you say something? Yes or no?
Yes or no?
What's got into you?
Who are you to...?
Fuck.
Why do you decide for me? Did I ever do that?
You did. You ran away.
Nouria?
Yes.
- Nouria?
Yes!
Mohammed won't let me play
and I can't find Mum.
I'll be right there, Rayan. Go back inside.
- I'm fed up.
I didn't mean to hurt you.
Well, you failed.
I panicked.
I couldn't think anymore.
I'm sorry.
I was scared.
Sorry.
I really didn't mean to hurt you.
Sorry.
Don't worry about it.
Will you come back next summer?
I'll try.
Do you want to talk about it?
About Nouria?
No?
My poor girl.
Mum?
- Yes, darling?
Why do you always call me girl?
I can't breathe very well.
Your tempo is 18 to 20. Keep it up.
Catch close to the water. Good, Malou.
Slide more slowly on your seat, Malou.
Push harder on those legs, Olivia.
Pull your oars harder.
Don't look at your strokecoach, Julie.
Look straight ahead.
Let me help you.
So you see, if your catch is good,
everything else goes better.
My start wasn't good.
No, your tempo was low,
but if you concentrate more
and stop looking around so much,
you'll be fine.
Okay?
- Luc, can you give me a hand?
Yes. Be right there.
There's an arcade.
- Oh, fun.
But that gets old after two or three times.
- Of course.
What the fuck. She's not showering again.
- Ew. So gross.
Right?
- Totally.
Don't you ever get fungi?
We're just worried for you.
Oh my God.
Okay. We're going already.
Oh, sorry.
Oh, didn't see you there.
Fucking idiot!
That's mine.
Don't touch it.
Do we need to leave some for Mum?
- No, she'll eat at work.
Great combo.
- It's healthy.
Says who?
- Everyone who's an expert.
Thomas, all these bags go here, right?
- Yes.
These have all expired.
Can't sell them anymore.
You have to throw them away?
- Yes. You want them?
They'll last for at least another month.
- Yes. Thank you.
By the way, the new parts are in.
- Already?
Yes, it'll be ready
by your birthday for sure.
Really?
Thank you.
If I can return the favour, let me know.
- All right.
Goddammit.
Alex!
Did you go through my wardrobe?
Jesus.
- Did you go through my wardrobe?
No. Of course not.
Can you maybe knock next time?
Can you maybe study for your resits?
Max!
Hi.
Max went to get crisps. Are you Malou?
Yes.
- I am Nouria.
Sorry. I was wearing a skirt,
so Max gave me these.
The water is super dirty, though.
Do you have a filet?
Can I have a go?
Oh, thanks. I thought I was being nulle.
Uh, that I sucked.
Well, to be honest...
- What?
Thanks. Way to motivate someone.
Help me then.
Keep your wrists straight.
- Like this?
Yes. And no chicken wings.
- Chicken wings?
Yes. You're doing this.
Really?
- Yes.
Okay.
C'est mieux? Is that better?
Sort of.
- Sort of? Okay.
Go on then. Show me how it's done.
Yes, okay.
That does seem better.
And you do this every day?
Yes. In here or on the water.
Isn't that boring?
No.
Where's the fun in it?
Don't know.
You get away from everything.
You've met, I see.
- Yes.
Hi.
- Hey.
Let me officially introduce you.
Malou, Nouria. Nouria, Malou.
Nice to meet you.
Next time ask
before you go through my wardrobe.
Relax. You're in mine all the time.
Aren't those my shorts?
Blue crisps? What is that?
What are you doing?
- Nothing.
Are you really giving her that?
Yes.
What do you think of Nouria?
Don't know. I've seen her once.
And?
What does that mean?
It's just strange to see you snog.
Okay, but do you think she's cute?
What do I know?
Wow, you really suck.
That's how you do it.
Okay. Hang on.
1-0.
- Nice one.
Bring it on, bitch.
- Bitch?
Me, a bitch?
- Yes, you.
Who's the bitch here?
- Oww, let go, Max.
Who's the bitch?
- Let go.
Max, let go of me. Oww.
Yes. In the middle, Alex.
- You've got a faster car.
Yes, go on.
- What do you mean, you're a better driver?
You watch this.
- Grab the turbo, Louis.
Watch out for the blocks.
Three, two, one.
- No, no.
Smooth.
- What a shame.
Can I play?
Yes.
- Fine by me. Two against two?
You two against you two.
And I'll take Louis's or Max's place.
No, sorry, but...
That means I'll lose. Malou sucks.
No, I don't.
- I'll play with Malou then.
No, you can't. That would really be unfair.
- Why not?
I always win against my two brothers.
- They're eight and ten.
Eleven.
So you two against Max and Louis?
- Yes. That's right.
If you're so sure,
shall we play for something?
Not everyone has rich parents, Louis.
- Doesn't have to be money.
What do you want to play for then?
Loser takes off a piece of clothing.
You're such a child.
- Okay, deal.
I don't want to see my sister naked.
No.
- Neither do I.
Deal?
- No, stop. I'll just start a new game.
Yes, let's go.
Go, go, go.
To the left!
I'll get him. I'll get him.
Without looking.
Nice try, ladies. So sorry.
It's okay. We played well, though.
You have to take something off.
- What?
That was the deal.
- It was a joke.
A deal is a deal.
- Okay. A deal is a deal.
All right. We heard you.
Whoa, what the fuck?
- It's okay.
Happy?
- That's an accessory, not clothing.
That's childish.
- Who is playing against me?
I am.
- Malou, your turn.
No.
- Stop it, Louis.
Or you got something to hide?
Louis, Jesus.
- Stop it.
Olivia says she never showers.
- Olivia should shut her mouth.
Not like there's something to see.
- Hey, Louis, let it go.
Or is there?
- Let it go.
What is the problem?
- Or is there?
What are you trying to do?
- Or is there?
Don't touch me!
Max, careful.
Say sorry.
- Max!
Apologise to Malou.
- Max, stop.
It's not funny, mate!
Let go of him.
- He just has to say sorry.
Let go of him!
- Say sorry to Malou!
Sorry.
- Let go.
Jesus. Fucking hell. Are you okay, Louis?
Are you okay?
Maybe you should sit down.
Sorry. I didn't realise
it was going to go this far.
You don't need to apologise.
Louis is a lunatic.
It's crazy how many medals you've got.
You get one just for taking part.
Max says you're really good.
Better than him anyway.
And where do you see it taking you?
Professionally?
I just enjoy it.
That ring was clever.
I'm not going to undress for that guy.
I have a big birthmark as well. Here.
See it?
Yes. It looks like a 'fuck you' finger.
What? What are you even saying?
Are you sure?
My mum always said
it looked like a little elephant.
Hi. Louis is gone.
Are you coming?
He's lucky he has a swimming pool.
Or he'd have far fewer friends.
Malou? Your rowing gear is dry.
Do you know what you want for your birthday?
No, hang on. What are you doing?
I've folded those.
Just grab... Now there's grass in there.
Do you know what you want for your birthday?
Uh, no.
Shall I drop you off?
Are you seeing someone?
It's Luc, isn't it?
Is that why you want to drop me off?
What's the point of this?
What do you want?
For you to stop lying.
We are getting to know each other.
What does that mean?
Are you together or not?
- I don't know.
If it gets serious,
you'll be the first to know. Promise.
Never mind. I don't need to know.
Sit upright, Anna.
Wrists, Malou.
Make more use of your body, Olivia.
Yes!
Good, eh? Great training.
Your catch needed work.
You seemed distracted.
And your oars... Rotate with
your fingers, less with your wrists.
Not a good training then.
- Yes, it was. It's just that...
You ought to train
in something else than the skiff.
Do you want to try with four
for the Belgian championship?
Why would I?
- Because you can learn from each other.
And... they're a man short.
That's their problem.
- Malou... Come on.
No, I mean it.
Hey.
- You okay?
Yes, great.
I'm waiting for Max. He's teaching the kids.
- Okay.
It was nice to see you rowing.
You were in your own little world.
Maybe you can teach me?
I've never rowed before and I want to try it.
I'm not cheap, though.
Just kidding.
- Okay.
Don't you want to sit down?
My cou hurts.
What's the word again for le cou?
- Neck.
Neck? Okay. My neck hurts.
You're from Brussels, right?
- Yes.
Where they make Brussels waffles.
How come you speak Dutch so well?
Thanks. It's just important for me.
Do you know the Cosmo? Here, in...
My aunt and uncle have owned it
since last year.
And this summer, I'm here to help them out,
but it also gives me the opportunity
to improve my Dutch.
Pardon me.
That was a good one.
You have to swallow a little bit of air.
Like this.
And then you release it
from the back of your throat. Try it.
No?
- It makes me feel sick.
Okay.
No?
You give me rowing lessons
and I'll give you burping lessons. Deal?
Okay.
- Yes.
Malou, why don't you want to row with us?
- Ignore them.
She thinks she's going
to be an Olympic champion.
Oh right. In the women's or men's category?
- I'm not really sure.
Look. Sorry to say this,
but you're really not that good.
Why do you say that?
- Mind your own business.
Max has really sunk low.
- Shut your mouth!
Olivia, what the fuck!
- You're crazy! Are you okay?
Dammit. Are you okay? Did you hurt yourself?
No, no.
- Do you have other clothes with you?
No, but it's okay.
Are you sure?
- Yes.
She's got issues.
- I'll dry up in the sun.
Are you mad?
Why does she act like that with you?
Is she jealous of you?
Or what?
Of you, more like.
What do you mean?
Because you're with him.
Yes...
Hang on. Wait.
Your back is still wet. Can I?
Do I put this here? Is that okay?
- Yes.
Yo, Rune.
- Hi, Max.
Here you go.
- Thanks.
Okay. Here.
Are you coming?
No.
- Why not?
I want to have a shower.
Okay, bye.
Malou?
I just need one minute in there.
Thanks. I'll hurry up.
You can look in my wardrobe too if you want.
I think we're about the same size.
I've been wearing
Max and Alex's clothes all my life.
You're not a kid anymore.
Can I? Turn around.
Focus on one point.
Yes, other side.
Focus on one point.
Stay there.
Go like this.
Now rub your lips together.
Look.
Beautiful, eh?
I need to go.
Bye, darling.
There are some leftovers in the fridge.
The stickleback.
His orange colour and bright blue eyes
reveal that he is ready to mate.
He builds a nest by sticking bits
of plant together with his spiggin.
The nest needs to be comfortable enough
so a female will want to lay her eggs in it.
What are you watching?
- Fish.
Are you eating this?
Is that make-up?
Okay.
Why don't you come with us next time?
There's a life outside of rowing.
Why so serious all the time?
Not in Willebroek.
Are you serious then?
- What do you mean?
About Nouria.
Yes.
Have you been to her house?
Only to her aunt and uncle's in the Cosmo.
They're chill.
And her parents?
- She doesn't talk much about them.
Do they know you're together?
I don't think so.
They're Muslim, right?
So?
What about you? The guy at the petrol
station, Thomas. Does he still fancy you?
We could go on a double date.
- No.
So you're just using him for your scooter.
- Hey.
No.
Three, two, one.
Long shall she live
Long shall she live
Long shall she live
In the gloria
In the gloria
In the gloria
Hip hip.
- Hurray.
Hip hip.
- Hurray.
Hip hip hippy.
- Hurray!
Happy birthday.
- Happy birthday, darling.
Congratulations, kiddo.
- Thank you.
I said I didn't want a fuss.
Sixteen is a milestone. Here you go.
- Thank you.
Whoa.
- No cheap stuff.
Good morning.
Thanks.
- That's not all.
What is it?
A one-night spa break. For two people.
Whoa.
- A little quality time for us both.
Do you have time for this?
- I will make time for it.
Nice, isn't it?
- Yes.
Max, give her ours.
- Yes. This...
is from me and Alex.
Yes.
Happy with the grey?
- It's perfect.
Come on, guys.
Are you serious?
- What?
Malou, you are not getting a scooter.
It's my money. I worked for it.
They have one, too.
It's not only about money.
It's not happening.
Doesn't matter. I got it already.
What?
Did you buy one behind my back?
They're not that easy to manoeuvre.
They're heavy.
Seriously? Is that your reason?
How will I get around then?
I'll drive you. Come on.
- Mum, honestly.
And you just went along with it?
- It's only fair, Mum.
She's 16. We bought one, too.
- So behind my back, you...
Goddammit!
- Mum.
You three!
I expected more of you, Alex!
Come on.
- Leave me.
It's clear that I'm all alone...
- Not at all. I don't get your problem?
What's the difference between Malou and us?
- Enough, Alex.
Just wait a second.
- Enough.
Jesus.
Happy birthday, Malou!
Xxx, Nouria
Birthday wishes?
I booked for in two weeks,
but we can always reschedule.
I'd rather not be naked with you in a sauna.
You can wear your swimsuit. And I can
wear mine if you're that embarrassed.
I don't like swimming.
- Come on.
Then why did you beg me for a swimming pool?
It will happen, girl.
I was a late bloomer, too.
You don't have to...
- Don't, Mum. Really, don't.
We're not at all the same.
- Take it easy.
I just meant
that you don't have to be embarrassed.
You don't get it.
I just wanted to spend some time with you.
So it's a present for yourself.
Malou, I may have overreacted
about the scooter.
But you can't make those decisions alone.
Malou?
What is happening...
- Maybe I should go live with Dad.
Oh my God.
- Happy birthday.
Wow.
- I pumped the tyres, fixed the brakes.
It's good to go.
- That colour!
Here.
Maybe we could go for a ride sometime?
Wait. I'll get mine.
- I'll be right back. I'm just trying it out.
Thanks. Time for that burping/rowing lesson?
Hello.
- Hey.
Pump number two. And this, please.
81.74 euros, please. Pay by card?
- Yes.
All good. Have a nice day.
Jesus, Malou. Take it easy.
What are you up to?
Celebrating.
- Who with?
Thomas.
Is that turning into something?
None of your business.
Okay. Have fun.
Where did you get that?
- I bought it.
Amazing. Do you have a driving licence?
I did my theory.
The practical is later this week. Oops.
Sorry, I don't have a present.
I was super busy here.
No worries.
Shall we?
- Can I get on?
Yes. Of course.
Sana helwa ya gamil.
Happy birthday.
Wait.
Wow.
Grab it at the back.
- There?
Yes. Careful.
On your shoulder now. Lift it!
Like this?
- Lift, lift.
Shoulder. Are you okay?
- Yes.
Okay, let's go.
Okay, sit down. Hold that. Like that.
- Sit down? There?
Yes, put that foot there.
- Okay.
Let's go.
Off we go.
Good.
- Like that?
Yes, and now follow my tempo.
Okay.
Follow my tempo.
- I'm trying, but it's difficult.
A bit slower.
- It looks easier watching it from the side.
Whoa!
- Don't let go! Don't let go! Grab your....
Rule number one.
- What?
Don't let go.
- Don't let go?
Stop with the chicken wings.
- Chicken wings?
Yes, chicken wings. Stop.
Really?
- Honestly.
Are you mad?
- It's your fault.
Wow.
Fuck.
- What?
My dad left a voice message.
You don't want to listen to it?
No, it's okay.
Have your parents been divorced for long?
Three years.
My dad cheated on my mum.
And now there's a baby, but we barely see it.
And your mum?
She's sort of seeing Luc, my coach.
Very awkward.
And your parents?
Nothing special. Happily married.
Max says you don't say much about them.
Max never takes the time
to ask about my parents.
He always wants to do stuff.
He has too much energy.
Does your aunt know you're together?
- No, no. I don't think so.
I hope not.
Otherwise my parents would know, too.
And you?
What's happening with the boy
at the petrol station?
Did Max tell you? Jesus.
Are you in love?
No.
Not at all.
He is with me, but he's 20, so...
The Olympic Games
in the women's or men's category...
Do you want to talk about that?
Not really.
It's my aunt.
I have to go home.
Come.
Fuck.
Are you okay?
- Yes, I'm okay.
Sorry.
My aunt is waiting for me.
Hello.
Do you know what time it is?
I promised your mum
you wouldn't be out after midnight.
This is not cool.
- I know. I'm sorry.
No. Not cool.
- Sorry.
Bye, Malou.
Is she very angry?
- No, she's all right.
Thanks.
Bye.
Malou?
- I'm doing something.
Why would you go via the canal?
- That's nicer.
Just go via Stationstraat.
That's the shortest way.
How much shorter? Five minutes?
- We'll take the short way coming back.
Okay.
- Where are you going?
To the Cosmo.
Can I come?
- If you're ready to lose.
We're leaving in five minutes.
- Okay. I'll get ready.
Keep going, Team Blue.
Fatality.
That's not fair.
You know the terrain too well.
Stop being so childish, Max.
Game on.
Fatality.
- That's lame.
I'll destroy you all!
Are you okay?
Are you okay?
- Yes.
Keep going, Team Blue.
Go, go, go.
If it's Max, I'll disqualify him immediately.
It's Alex.
- Is it? Let's get him.
End of round three.
- Are we done?
Wait.
- And the winner is...
Team Blue.
Well played!
Please return to the locker room.
We need to leave.
Come on. Faster.
I'm catching up.
- Run near the edges.
Faster.
- I'm catching up.
Near the edges.
- Yes, sorry.
Use your arms.
- Yes.
Malou! Join in. We'll have a bigger current.
Come on, Malou!
- We'll let go in a sec.
Faster, Alex.
Yes, Malou!
Yes, come.
- Faster.
Okay, ready?
- Yes.
Three, two, one. Let go.
Hello.
- Hello.
Quirky.
- Yes.
We're going to the barn later. Want to come?
Is Max going?
Yes.
I don't know. With Max there...
Is that a good idea?
I don't know.
Maybe you're right.
Ciao.
Your pineapple.
- It's yours. Happy birthday.
Hi.
- Hi.
Cheers.
Whoa, you idiot. That's my brother.
- Sorry, it was a joke.
Do you want to do a blunt?
What?
- A blunt.
What is that?
I'll show you.
- Fucking strong.
Okay, so... Like this. And just inhale.
- Ah, okay. Yes.
Strong, right?
- Yes.
Want to try?
No, thanks.
Go on then.
Okay.
Wow, that's nice.
Here we go. Smooth.
Malou, are you okay?
Are you okay?
- Are you okay?
Wait. Take that off.
Can I do something?
- Can you get some water?
Yes. All right.
You'll be all right.
I'm going to the toilet.
- Did I do something wrong?
No, it's fine.
- Just tell me.
No, I'm just going to the toilet, Max.
I'm going home.
- You're going home?
My aunt will wake up soon.
- This early?
Max, don't.
Just stay. We're having a nice time.
No, Max.
- Come on, Nouria.
No, Max. I know what you want.
It won't happen.
Why are you reacting like that?
- You're not listening. I said no.
Just stay half an hour longer...
- Stay here.
Come on, Nouria. Calm down.
Why are you reacting like this?
- I need to go home.
What the fuck.
Nouria?
Are you okay?
I wanted to ask you something.
My mum gave me this stupid spa weekend
for my birthday.
But I really don't want to go with her.
Maybe you want to come?
I'll check with my mum.
What are you doing here?
Didn't you have to go home?
I don't want to talk to you now.
Why is she here?
- She asked for advice.
About what?
- About you.
You had an argument, right?
Okay.
Now you know how it feels.
Hangovers are never fun, girl.
I wanted to ask you about the spa.
- Yes?
Good morning.
- Good morning.
Any fresh bread?
- Hey. I got that yesterday.
What about the spa?
I'd like to go with a friend.
It's my present. I can choose, right?
Who do you want to go with then?
Don't know yet.
- Malou, I would like to know who.
Once I know, I'll let you know.
Can you keep an eye on the soup?
You can be such a bitch sometimes.
What?
- Are you going with Nouria?
None of your business.
- She's Max's girlfriend.
So?
You should go with Mum. She's trying so hard.
Mum, I'm off to work!
I think Alex is on to us.
Don't know what to do. Nouria?
Where are you? On my way.
How did Alex find out? Did you say anything?
No.
I swear, I didn't.
Maybe it's not a good idea to go then.
Alex won't say anything.
- Are you sure?
I also feel bad about Max, but...
- Me too.
I feel really bad about Max.
It's not just about you or Max.
What do you want with him?
Do you want to be with him or not?
You really don't want to go anymore?
I'll pick you up with the scooter
on Saturday, okay?
My mum would like to call your mum first.
Need some soap?
- Hm?
Soap?
- Yeah, thanks.
Max, are you two coming?
You're not working?
- No, Thomas called to say I'm not needed.
Are you eating with us?
Can you help set the table for five?
Alex, can you help, too?
- I'm revising.
Who's joining us?
- Nouria is here.
I've called her mum and it's okay.
But I'd like
some quality time with you, too.
I hope you'll like it.
Hi.
- Hi.
Looking forward to it?
To what?
- Malou is taking Nouria to the spa.
Why don't I know about this?
- I thought you knew.
Yes, because it wasn't certain yet.
Okay.
Mum, do you want wine?
- Yes, a small glass.
Why are you taking Nouria?
Just because...
- Don't you have any other friends?
That's a bit sad, Malou.
Just go with Mum.
I need to work after all. Thomas called.
- Now?
Yes.
- You haven't eaten.
No.
Can I help?
- No, no. I'll do that.
Go and sit down. I'm coming.
Hello, this is Nouria Hallimi.
Hello, this is Nouria Ha...
Hello, this is Nouria Hallimi. Please...
Hello, this is Nouria Hallimi. Please...
Thank you.
This is so nice.
Oh, wow.
Look at that, Malou. This is mad.
Look at these. We're well looked after here.
This is so nice.
Why didn't you say
you were coming for dinner?
Max said you'd be at work.
How was he after?
Not happy.
Does he know you're here?
I do what I want.
Let's go.
Come on. Get in. It's so good.
Okay.
One, two, three.
Well... That's no good.
- Sorry.
What?
A hair.
- No.
That's so gross.
So gross.
Are you laughing at my face?
- Yes.
Thank you.
You're too cute.
You have such a pretty little face.
I mean it.
You're real.
I think that's beautiful.
What?
I don't know.
What don't you know?
If I'm real.
And what I want for real.
I feel that, too.
With Max.
I really thought
I could fall in love with him.
I hoped I could.
Yes.
But when I'm with you...
It's so shit to feel bad
about something that feels good.
Are you okay? What are you doing here?
Everything okay, Max?
What's going on between you two?
What do you mean?
You kissed behind the petrol station.
What makes you say that?
- That's what Thomas told me.
Thomas is just jealous.
- Why would he lie about it?
I don't know. Because he...
- What?
He wants attention and...
He's got a crush on Malou.
- Nouria, please.
Max, no.
- Stop lying.
Lying about what?
So Thomas isn't lying, but I am?
With your sister, Max? Are you serious?
So nothing happened?
You said Malou was alone.
I was trying to be her friend.
Nouria, I know.
- No, you don't.
I know about this!
- No, you don't know anything, Max!
You know what, leave it. You wear me out.
Nouria...
- Let go of me! Act normal.
Nouria, stay here.
- Let go of me, I said.
Nouria, stay here!
Malou!
Malou!
Malou?
Malou, let me in.
- Max, take it easy.
I mean it. Let me in.
- Calm down.
Just open the door.
- Stop. Max, stop.
Are you going to lie, too?
Is it true or not?
And I defended you all this time!
Tell me.
- Max, stop!
Malou, tell me.
- Get off me!
Tell me!
- Max, calm down.
Tell me!
- Stop.
Just admit it!
- Let go of me!
Alex!
Max, what the fuck, dude. Stop, stop.
Max, I can't breathe.
- Get off me!
Stop!
Dude! Let go of her. Let...
Jesus fucking Christ, dude! Let go of her!
Fucking let her go!
You've got a fucking problem!
- Fuck you!
What's going on in here?
What happened?
Max, Malou, what happened?
Max? What happened, I said.
Malou?
Malou!
Malou, stay here!
Malou, wait!
Hello, this is Nouria Hallimi.
Hey. Where have you been?
I was worried sick.
Is everything okay?
Why didn't you answer your phone?
Max got a severe punishment.
Hello, this is Nouria Hallimi.
Please leave a message after...
Mum's not here tonight.
- I know. She's got a date with Luc.
There's more bread if you want.
How was training?
Good.
How was your resit?
We'll see.
Can I have the ketchup?
Hello, this is Nouria Hallimi. Please...
Hello.
- Hi, Malou. Are you okay?
Is Nouria here?
- No, she's gone back home.
Why?
- She didn't say.
Hello. Can I help you?
- Hello.
Do you speak Dutch?
- A little.
Is Nouria here?
- Nouria?
What is your name?
- Malou.
Oh, Malou from Willebroek?
I'm Nouria's mum. But she's not here now.
She's picking up the boys from football.
You can wait for her here if you like.
Okay, thank you.
Did you have a nice weekend away?
- Yes.
It's good for her
to make friends in Willebroek.
Yes.
Let me call her.
Okay.
Hi, darling.
No.
Your friend is waiting here at home.
Malou...
Hurry up.
Okay, see you soon.
She's rushing back.
- Yes.
Why don't you answer my calls?
- Why are you at my home?
Why are you back home? You ran away.
Malou, you...
- First you say you think I'm pretty
and then you tell my brother shit about me
and you disappear.
You don't answer my calls.
You're ignoring me.
That's why I'm here.
I can decide for myself
if I want to answer my phone or not.
You can't just say those things and run away.
What did you want me to say? The truth?
So...
That's it.
- What?
You can just use me.
- Use you?
Yes, you try something out
and go back home.
What the fuck, Malou.
Okay. I know what to do then.
- What?
What, Malou? What do you mean? Malou, stop...
Madam.
- Yes?
Is there a problem?
No.
Nouria is on her way.
Okay.
Everything okay?
- Yes.
And the boys?
- Okay.
Me.
- No, me.
Mum, we won. We won 5-0.
- Great.
I scored the last goal with my left foot.
- That's great.
Can we go gaming?
- Yes.
I'm thirsty. Are you?
Everything okay, girls?
She's thirsty. I'll be back.
Did you say anything?
Malou, answer me.
Did you say something or not?
Did you say something? Yes or no?
Yes or no?
What's got into you?
Who are you to...?
Fuck.
Why do you decide for me? Did I ever do that?
You did. You ran away.
Nouria?
Yes.
- Nouria?
Yes!
Mohammed won't let me play
and I can't find Mum.
I'll be right there, Rayan. Go back inside.
- I'm fed up.
I didn't mean to hurt you.
Well, you failed.
I panicked.
I couldn't think anymore.
I'm sorry.
I was scared.
Sorry.
I really didn't mean to hurt you.
Sorry.
Don't worry about it.
Will you come back next summer?
I'll try.
Do you want to talk about it?
About Nouria?
No?
My poor girl.
Mum?
- Yes, darling?
Why do you always call me girl?
I can't breathe very well.
