Tropic (2023) Movie Script
Lazaro Guerrero.
5 minutes 8 seconds.
And 6 minutes.
Louis Delaporte.
6 minutes 23 seconds.
The frequency shift observed
in the variant,
taking into account
the slower time dilation
in the Doppler effect,
depends on the frame of reference.
Yes?
In the case of the transverse
Doppler effect,
can it create a redshift?
Good question.
There is no mutual compensation
in the cross-effect concept.

- Knees higher!
- Coach, yes, coach!
Knees higher!
Coach, yes, coach!
- Knees higher!
- Coach, yes, coach!
Go!
Come on! Keep going!
Come on!
Faster.
- Is that her?
- Yes.
See? I didn't lie!
You never said
she was at dummies' school.
She'll redo her senior year
somewhere better.
I'm gonna introduce her to mom.
What about me? Scared?
- Virgins aren't her type, bro!
- Jerk!
This is where the light reflects
off the glass surface.
A photomultiplier lets us see
that the detected intensity
does not drop with decreasing light.
So we have to recognize
the wave/particle duality as a fact.
Can you slow down?
- A photomultiplier...
- No, drive slower!
Why, are you scared?
Scared, big boy?
Hi my boys.
- Hi Mom.
- Hi.
How was your day?
OK.
This isn't working.
I can't find my schedule.
The network's down again.
Any jobs?
Delivery or cleaning?
Babysitting.
I'm too tired to do deliveries.
I've put it for tomorrow afternoon.
- OK?
- Thanks, my love.
What's that?
Stop it!
It's private!
Found some nice Latino guys?
- I don't want you looking at that.
- "Xavier, 38. Business lawyer."
- Good for us.
- Stop that.
"Attorney, passionate and romantic."
That's original.
- Stop! You're annoying!
- "I like fun, food and wine."
"Quite simply, a good "avocado"
looking for some spice in his life
"just like
a good guacamole should be made."
Stop it!
Write this! Hold on.
"I'm shy..."
Stop it, this isn't funny!
"I'm shy, but I'd love"
"to spice up your weekend."
- Stop it!
- Are you nuts? You're crazy!
It's sent!
You're crazy!
- It's sent.
- What will he think?
You sent it?
I'm your mother!
You're leaving us
without water again?
It's OK, they filled it up yesterday.
Laz, you need to study
your physics.
I know.
We'll study for another hour,
then go to bed.
- Go.
- To you.
Go!
And back!
Stay on them!
Back, back.
Go!
Well played!
Don't lose it!
Yes.
Man on Tristan!
Run!
- Sorry.
- Get off!
- Oh, come on!
- Leave it.
- If you can't hack it, leave.
- Son of a bitch.
What did you call me?
Son of a bitch!
Son of a bitch?
You a rebel now?
Don't diss me
because you miss your old man.
What?
Say that again, you motherfucker!
- Stop it!
- Enough!
Learn to hold your breath underwater,
then we'll see!
It's OK, calm down.
It's OK.
Play on, throw the ball!
It's OK, forget it.
I can't stand this moron.
What did he say?
Forget it.
- How long?
- 4' 32".
- Not bad.
- I'll never make it.
Yes, you will.
Relax.
I know it's harder here.
But you'll do better in the pool.
Trust me.
You can do it, OK?
You can do it.
Shall we try again?
Calm. Ready?
You think more about her
than the exams.
I'm not thinking about her.
Yeah, right!
She's so amazing.
I want to skinny-dip with her here
every day of my life.
You're losing it.
Wait, you can't understand!
Yes, you can, in fact.
You've seen her mouth?
And her blue, almond-shaped eyes?
Well, have you?
I can't help it.
It just came over me.
I don't recognize you.
Neither do I!
That's what's incredible.
I've never felt like this!
What about in bed?
What's she like?
You pervert!
Want me to tell you?
You crazy?
What about you?
It'll happen when it happens.
But when it does...
Breathe,
close your eyes...
Close them.
You feel her body against yours.
Your heart's pounding.
You smell her scent.
And then suddenly...
Oh, Laz, yes!
Get off me!
Tristan!
So, Chlo,
are you also at Space School?
I'm at the school on the other side.
So
you're on my team!
You're normal, like me.
That's two against two.
- We'll crush them.
- That's it.
Girl power!
You're dead, guys!
And what do you do?
Sorry?
Your work.
Didn't he tell you?
He's ashamed.
Stop it, Mom.
- Just a little.
- That's not true.
I do a bit of everything.
I was a teacher,
but
there's a problem here
- with my diploma.
- It's not recognized.
It's not recognized.
What did you teach?
Litteratura.
Literature.
- Literature, literature.
- I got that, Tristan.
It's not easy fitting in here.
No, of course not.
Are you sad they're going into space?
We'll see if the Academy takes them.
But
if that's my children's dream,
it's mine too.
She wants to replace us.
- Oh, I see.
- It's true.
Guacamole is a substitute.
You drive me mad!
Honestly,
what does she see in him?
Stop it!
What does that mean?
It means...
- What?
- "How big is your dog?"
Yes, your dog.
What are you saying?
About this big.
There you are!
That's what she sees in me!
Stop it! You're the worst!
You need to calm down!
When you have twins, one always
comes out through the ass!
Why is it always me?
Stop it!
No, it's true.
Through the ass.
And it's always me, not him!
- It's you.
- It's not!
Thanks, my love.
That's what we need!
Turn up the sound.
Lazaro, louder, please.
Dance with me.
Don't be scared, come on!
Dance with your mom.
Smile!
The conquest of space
is entering a new era.
The trips we're planning
will last for decades.
To compete with the Chinese,
the Russians, the Americans,
the European Spatial Force must send
the youngest astronauts possible
so that they come back alive.
Or at least, not completely senile.
That's why you're here.
Of this year's
three French candidates,
perhaps one of you
will be part of the Eternity Mission.
I'm counting on you.
Be proud of yourselves,
and good luck.
You have 4 hours for this first test.
What is that?
What?
It wasn't a shooting star.
- So what was it?
- I don't know.
Let's go.
- What's wrong?
- Nothing.
Tell me.
What if they pick you and not me?
Don't be ridiculous.
They'll pick us both.
OK?
I won't go without you.
And the old man will help.
Hey you, up there!
We'd better win if you want us
to come see you, asshole!
Do you hear me?
Do you hear me?
No one can hear. Go on.
Start the clock.
Ready?
Tristan?
Tristan?
Swim!
What?
Swim!
Swim!
What is that?
Tristan!
We're still analysing the liquid.
We don't think it's radioactive,
but we're keeping your son
in quarantine anyway.
The contamination has led
to the development
of parasitic organisms.
But the biopsy hasn't detected
any cancerous cells.
The lungs are severely damaged,
as is the left side of the brain,
which is associated with reasoning.
That explains his reduced IQ.
What does that mean?
It means a slight mental retardation.
He's... retarded?
Will he stay like that?
I don't know.
If the liquid isn't radioactive,
what is it?
We don't know where it came from.
As for your hand,
the tissue has been affected
but your results are normal.
We have to be careful,
we don't know what will happen,
I want to see my son.
We've started getting him
used to his reflection.
He's very brave,
and highly communicative.
And we can offer
psychological support.
We have a good team.
Due to the protective layer
of the atmosphere,
the elements will disintegrate.
But some debris might hit
the surface of our planet.
For the most part,
these will be rocket fragments
or parts of a satellite
accumulated during space conquest.
Today there are over 30,000 objects,
mostly small,
but which could cause damage
if they collide with a satellite.
If the large ones are hit by debris,
it could...
Tristan, we're going to be late.
If you get lost today, don't worry.
OK?
Do this with your finger.
See?
And I can see where you are.
Hello?
Hello, Mrs Guerrero.
Ollivier Guytard from Europe Infos.
I've left you several messages
about the accident.
I've already spoken
to your colleagues.
I know,
but we wondered how your son was.
Leave us alone.
Leave us alone.
Right, darling?
If you get lost,
what do you do?
Tell me.
Tristan,
listen.
Fine.
What's that?
It's to
help you.
To help you.
With this, we can go anywhere.
He gets it.
What's wrong, Lazaro?
You think it's funny?
No need to be nasty.
Stop treating him like an idiot.
- We'll talk later.
- No, we won't.
You talk to him like
he'll never get better.
If you carry on like this, he won't.
Keep the keys.
I'll take the bus home.
Come on.
Arms in the air. Again.
- Hello, Mrs Guerrero.
- Pleased to meet you.
Hello, Tristan, I'm Mrs David.
I run the program that connects
young disabled people
with the Space-School students.
As I explained on the phone,
I'll take him
to meet the others,
and his brother is close by.
- Everything will be fine.
- Good.
Guerrero, wake up!
- The curfew's a pain.
- Sure is.
It makes me sick.
Mom can't come today.
I'm taking you.
Hey!
It's my birthday today.
Happy birthday.
I'm having a party, wanna come?
There'll be beer and girls.
No jerks allowed, though.
Want a smoke?
No, thanks.
You're a real blast, man!
Shall we go?
Tristan!
- Bye.
- Bye.
Let's train.
Like before.
- Is that the infected zone?
- No, it's clean here.
Come on.
Drop that.
Come on.
Come on.
Don't let me go.
It's OK, I won't let you go.
Put your head under.
Go ahead.
Come on.
- Try again.
- No. No!
Again.
I don't want to.
Come on.
- Please!
- Try again.
You're the best.
Stop fooling around!
That's it!
Just one minute.
- Lazaro, where were you?
- Out.
- Out where?
- Just out.
Why didn't you answer my calls?
I was training.
Dead battery.
You're watching your brother tonight.
Did you forget?
I was worried!
Now I'm late.
What's wrong?
What is it, Son?
It's as if you enjoy it.
What?
- Forget it.
- No! What do you mean?
Tell me what you mean.
What's happening to us.
You enjoy it.
I enjoy
what's happening?
You're saying I like what's happened?
Listen to me when I'm talking!
Shit!
Do you have any idea
what it's cost me?
When I'm at work,
how they look at me?
The way they treat me!
I gave up everything for you!
Look at me, Lazaro.
I'm going mad!
Look at these flip-flops!
These crappy thongs!
It's been years since I bought any.
I can't stand it.
I'm all alone.
More than if you'd both gone.
That's it, say nothing.
As usual.
What will he do
if anything happens to me?
It keeps me up all night.
Who'll help him?
Tell me.
Have you thought of that?
Of course not.
Because
you're fucking selfish,
like your father.
Where are you going?
Laz?
Please.
I'm sorry.
It should have been Tristan
We're here, guys!
UNFIWAITING LISHello?
- Hello, Lazaro.
- Sir.
I wanted to congratulate you
personally.
I know it's difficult for you,
but the entire faculty is behind you.
Thank you.
We'll talk again with your teachers,
but really well done.
Thank you.
- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.
You're taking my place.
I don't know.
Tristan?
Shit, Tristan!
What are you doing? Come back!
Let me go! Let me go!
Look at me!
Look at me! It's not fair!
Calm down.
I won't abandon you.
Tristan.
You can't
I'm here.
Water could be extracted
from all the asteroids.
- Desalination would be easier.
- You don't know that.
Maybe now, but what if they
find a way to reduce costs?
- That'll change everything.
- I doubt it.
Maybe one day to supply the colonies,
but not Earth.
- Why?
- Because it won't be viable.
It's awesome!
You know nothing.
It's had millions of views.
It's wicked!
He's my brother.
I know. He didn't show up
to my birthday party.
I'm sorry.
So, you're visiting the slums?
This is Charles.
He doesn't say much.
Do you, Charlie?
- This is Leela.
- Hi.
So,
Space School's pretty competitive,
right?
I applied,
but the bastards turned me down.
I heard you shower with the girls.
Is that true?
How do you manage
not to get a hard-on?
Admit it, you sneak a look, right?
That's my mother's head.
OK?
Yes.
This is the bathroom.
And toilet.
There's even a spray
to wash your hole, old-school style.
OK?
And this... This is my palace.
Sit down.
We're gonna chill.
Pretty good, huh?
Who're the bosses?
Yo-yo!
One, two, yo!
Yo, your mother when she sees me
Riding in my Lambo
She screams my name
So that I can fuck her ass
Yo, pussy n' ass, that's my shit,
I'm Oscar
The guy with a big fat brain
Oscar, Escobar,
with his big dagger
Yo, yo, yo!
Can't you see I'm with my homies?
Hey, Mom!
- You're Tristan's brother, right?
- Yes.
No, Mom, seriously, beat it!
OK.
Move it!
And close the door!
Having fun?
Yes.
Cool.
It stinks in here.
Keep still.
It's OK.
The Principal will see you now.
Follow me.
Thank you for coming, Mrs Guerrero.
How are things at home?
At home?
Good... fine.
How's he coping?
He's been back at school
for 2 months.
I'm talking about Lazaro.
Lazaro?
Lazaro...
Fine.
Before, it was difficult.
But
now,
he's accepted it.
Lazaro's grades
have been falling for weeks.
In all subjects.
I'll send you his file,
but it's all here on the screen.
Your son's behavior
is causing us concern.
He needs to get a grip
to have a chance of passing
the second round of tests.
Lazaro and Tristan
have always been very close.
But given what happened...
It's clear to everyone that
their closeness is holding him back.
He's not doing well.
He's lost.
I feel they should be separated,
long enough for Lazaro
to concentrate on the competition.
It will do them both good,
and we'll be there to support Lazaro.
Here.
This is the House of Sun.
A very good establishment.
It will be free of charge, of course.
Is it a place for the disabled?
HOUSE OF SUN
Because in 5 billion years,
the Sun will have burned
and transformed all its hydrogen.
Expelling a cloud of dust and gas
before becoming a red giant.
The planets of our solar system
will turn into a desert of ashes.
But before dying,
the Sun will absorb
the closest of them,
like a magnet.
A nebula will be visible
for 15000 years,
before disappearing
to give birth to a new generation
of stars and planets.
I've bought tickets,
not too expensive.
For a vacation.
Good idea, no?
All of us together?
Get away from the house.
Would you like that?
Would you like that, Titi?
- What's wrong?
- Nothing.
I'm tired.
Wait, you're covered in it.
- Enough. Stop.
- You have some here.
Leave me alone.
Let me wipe it off.
I'll take care of you.
Mom, stop it!
I don't feel well.
Drink, Titi.
Lazaro, what's wrong?
We can't understand it.
We've examined his hand.
There appear to be no after-effects.
We can find nothing that relates
to your sons' accident.
We've carried out a series of tests,
and the encephalogram shows
increased electrical activity.
This is often a sign of stress.
Lazaro seems a little disorientated.
We think it's affecting him
more than he shows.
We think the Principal's solution
is the right one.
Lazaro needs to rest
and focus on his objectives.
We can talk again later,
more calmly.
Goodbye, Mrs Guerrero.
Tristan.
You're ugly.
You're not.
You're not.
You're ugly.
So are you.
No... No.
No.
crushed by the heat...
when I was 6 months pregnant,
I saw something in the sky.
I saw
a light.
I never imagined my child
would be sick because of it.
Beric is 31.
He's the most famous...
- What are you doing?
- Nothing.
You OK?
Yeah.
How can you drink that stuff?
I like it.
It gives you terrible breath.
Mom says we're going on vacation.
It'll be good.
I don't know.
Like before.
Why do you say that?
What?
Don't say like before.
Yes.
Where are you going?
Leave me alone.
Why?
Are you serious?
Don't you get it?
They're gonna lock you up!
Understand?
There's no vacation.
Mom's lying because she's scared.
No one knows what to say
because they pity you.
So stop jerking me around.
Playing dumb.
You just want to know
if I'm gonna finish the competition.
Right?
If I'm gonna go or not.
I know you, Tristan.
We said that you wouldn't go.
"We"?
Who's "we"?
Who said what?
No, no, don't do this.
Stop crying.
Stop it.
Stop.
Stop crying!
Stop!
I'm not crying.
I...
I should have been the one going.
Today's final tests are for a place
on the European Space Force.
We will assess
your physical, cognitive
and motor skills
in unfavorable environments.
As you know,
three French people will be selected
to join the Alliance training camp
in French Guiana.
This year is special
because in one year,
recruitment for
the Eternity Mission will begin.
It's an unprecedented mission.
It will put Europe at the head
of space colonization.
So we need the best.
Environmental reports are disastrous,
as you know.
But with the latest findings
in off-world mining,
Europe will need you more than ever.
You will have to ensure
our sovereignty
and defend the values of our flag,
in space.
I hope that one of you
will be able to meet the challenge.
The future of Europe depends on it,
as does the future of France
and its future colonies.
Good luck, everyone.

Louis Delaporte,

Hello?
Lazaro, your brother...
I don't know what's going on.
What?
Where are you?
- Your brother's crazy!
- What?
I can't hear you, what is it, Mom?
He's smashing everything up!
Lazaro, come home!
Hurry!
Mom, where is he?
I can't take it anymore...
I can't take it anymore...
I'm with your brother.
Wanna come over?
What is that?
I'll go get him.
Tristan Guerrero, leave a message.
Tristan!
Louis!
Where are you?
What's going on?
Where's my brother?
- Fuck your brother!
- Calm down.
You're stealing my fucking place!
- You're fucking it up!
- Calm down.
Stop!
You'll pay for this, son of a bitch!
Stop it!
- Get off me!
- Motherfucker.
Stop!
Stop, Tristan, stop!
Stop it
The larger a star is,
the more cataclysmic
the end of its existence will be.
When they become black holes,
nothing escapes their gravity.
To escape their gravity, you say?
Is that why you're willing
to leave everything behind?
No, that has nothing to do with it.
I'm merely asking.
During all these years on board,
you will forge very strong bonds
with the other members of the crew.
So let me ask you one last question.
You're undertaking a spacewalk,
and you suddenly experience
an oxygen leak.
Procedure requires you
to return to the ship,
but your teammate calls you.
If no-one comes to his aid,
he won't be able to survive.
What do you do?
I first check
that it's not a coolant leak.
In which case, I could open
his left-ear safety valve
to create
a controlled depressurization.
But since I myself
have an oxygen leak,
it's most likely that
both our suits are punctured.
If the perforation is due to
cosmic radiation, I can't help him.
If it's due to space debris,
I would check his vital signs
to assess my room for maneuver
and his chances of survival.
But according to procedure,
you must return to the ship.
I would address those issues
only after abandoning him.
Then why ask them at all?
To justify my decision.
And not to escape gravity.
My teammate should have the courage
not to impose that choice on me.
The Eternity mission
is our last chance.
Its success cannot be jeopardized
by the death of one individual.
Hello?
Mr Guerrero,
given your brother's condition,
you may return to France
to say goodbye.
Congratulations.
Come in.
Hello, my love.
How are you?
Are you OK?
Look who's here to see you.
I'm going to see the doctor.
You OK?
You're scared, too.
You're scared of me.
I didn't want him to die, Laz.
- I didn't want him to die.
- I know.
Look.
I brought you this.
Laz...
What is it?
Help me.
Help me.
No.
Help me.
Please.
It'll be OK.
It'll be OK.
We leave together.
I can't do this.
We leave together.

Go!
Come on! Keep going!
Come on!
Faster.
- Is that her?
- Yes.
See? I didn't lie!
You never said
she was at dummies' school.
She'll redo her senior year
somewhere better.
I'm gonna introduce her to mom.
What about me? Scared?

So we have to recognize
the wave/particle duality as a fact.
Can you slow down?
- A photomultiplier...
- No, drive slower!
Why, are you scared?
Scared, big boy?
Hi my boys.
- Hi Mom.
- Hi.
How was your day?
OK.
This isn't working.
I can't find my schedule.
The network's down again.
Any jobs?
Delivery or cleaning?
Babysitting.
I'm too tired to do deliveries.
I've put it for tomorrow afternoon.
- OK?
- Thanks, my love.
What's that?
Stop it!
It's private!
Found some nice Latino guys?
- I don't want you looking at that.
- "Xavier, 38. Business lawyer."
- Good for us.
- Stop that.
"Attorney, passionate and romantic."
That's original.
- Stop! You're annoying!
- "I like fun, food and wine."
"Quite simply, a good "avocado"
looking for some spice in his life
"just like
a good guacamole should be made."
Stop it!
Write this! Hold on.
"I'm shy..."
Stop it, this isn't funny!
"I'm shy, but I'd love"
"to spice up your weekend."
- Stop it!
- Are you nuts? You're crazy!
It's sent!
You're crazy!
- It's sent.
- What will he think?
You sent it?
I'm your mother!
You're leaving us
without water again?
It's OK, they filled it up yesterday.
Laz, you need to study
your physics.
I know.
We'll study for another hour,
then go to bed.
- Go.
- To you.
Go!
And back!
Stay on them!
Back, back.
Go!
Well played!
Don't lose it!
Yes.
Man on Tristan!
Run!
- Sorry.
- Get off!
- Oh, come on!
- Leave it.
- If you can't hack it, leave.
- Son of a bitch.
What did you call me?
Son of a bitch!
Son of a bitch?
You a rebel now?
Don't diss me
because you miss your old man.
What?
Say that again, you motherfucker!
- Stop it!
- Enough!
Learn to hold your breath underwater,
then we'll see!
It's OK, calm down.
It's OK.
Play on, throw the ball!
It's OK, forget it.
I can't stand this moron.
What did he say?
Forget it.
- How long?
- 4' 32".
- Not bad.
- I'll never make it.
Yes, you will.
Relax.
I know it's harder here.
But you'll do better in the pool.
Trust me.
You can do it, OK?
You can do it.
Shall we try again?
Calm. Ready?
You think more about her
than the exams.
I'm not thinking about her.
Yeah, right!
She's so amazing.
I want to skinny-dip with her here
every day of my life.
You're losing it.
Wait, you can't understand!
Yes, you can, in fact.
You've seen her mouth?
And her blue, almond-shaped eyes?
Well, have you?
I can't help it.
It just came over me.
I don't recognize you.
Neither do I!
That's what's incredible.
I've never felt like this!
What about in bed?
What's she like?
You pervert!
Want me to tell you?
You crazy?
What about you?
It'll happen when it happens.
But when it does...
Breathe,
close your eyes...
Close them.
You feel her body against yours.
Your heart's pounding.
You smell her scent.
And then suddenly...
Oh, Laz, yes!
Get off me!
Tristan!
So, Chlo,
are you also at Space School?
I'm at the school on the other side.
So
you're on my team!
You're normal, like me.
That's two against two.
- We'll crush them.
- That's it.
Girl power!
You're dead, guys!
And what do you do?
Sorry?
Your work.
Didn't he tell you?
He's ashamed.
Stop it, Mom.
- Just a little.
- That's not true.
I do a bit of everything.
I was a teacher,
but
there's a problem here
- with my diploma.
- It's not recognized.
It's not recognized.
What did you teach?
Litteratura.
Literature.
- Literature, literature.
- I got that, Tristan.
It's not easy fitting in here.
No, of course not.
Are you sad they're going into space?
We'll see if the Academy takes them.
But
if that's my children's dream,
it's mine too.
She wants to replace us.
- Oh, I see.
- It's true.
Guacamole is a substitute.
You drive me mad!
Honestly,
what does she see in him?
Stop it!
What does that mean?
It means...
- What?
- "How big is your dog?"
Yes, your dog.
What are you saying?
About this big.
There you are!
That's what she sees in me!
Stop it! You're the worst!
You need to calm down!
When you have twins, one always
comes out through the ass!
Why is it always me?
Stop it!
No, it's true.
Through the ass.
And it's always me, not him!
- It's you.
- It's not!
Thanks, my love.
That's what we need!
Turn up the sound.
Lazaro, louder, please.
Dance with me.
Don't be scared, come on!
Dance with your mom.
Smile!
The conquest of space
is entering a new era.
The trips we're planning
will last for decades.
To compete with the Chinese,
the Russians, the Americans,
the European Spatial Force must send
the youngest astronauts possible
so that they come back alive.
Or at least, not completely senile.
That's why you're here.
Of this year's
three French candidates,
perhaps one of you
will be part of the Eternity Mission.
I'm counting on you.
Be proud of yourselves,
and good luck.
You have 4 hours for this first test.
What is that?
What?
It wasn't a shooting star.
- So what was it?
- I don't know.
Let's go.
- What's wrong?
- Nothing.
Tell me.
What if they pick you and not me?
Don't be ridiculous.
They'll pick us both.
OK?
I won't go without you.
And the old man will help.
Hey you, up there!
We'd better win if you want us
to come see you, asshole!
Do you hear me?
Do you hear me?
No one can hear. Go on.
Start the clock.
Ready?
Tristan?
Tristan?
Swim!
What?
Swim!
Swim!
What is that?
Tristan!
We're still analysing the liquid.
We don't think it's radioactive,
but we're keeping your son
in quarantine anyway.
The contamination has led
to the development
of parasitic organisms.
But the biopsy hasn't detected
any cancerous cells.
The lungs are severely damaged,
as is the left side of the brain,
which is associated with reasoning.
That explains his reduced IQ.
What does that mean?
It means a slight mental retardation.
He's... retarded?
Will he stay like that?
I don't know.
If the liquid isn't radioactive,
what is it?
We don't know where it came from.
As for your hand,
the tissue has been affected
but your results are normal.
We have to be careful,
we don't know what will happen,
I want to see my son.
We've started getting him
used to his reflection.
He's very brave,
and highly communicative.
And we can offer
psychological support.
We have a good team.
Due to the protective layer
of the atmosphere,
the elements will disintegrate.
But some debris might hit
the surface of our planet.
For the most part,
these will be rocket fragments
or parts of a satellite
accumulated during space conquest.
Today there are over 30,000 objects,
mostly small,
but which could cause damage
if they collide with a satellite.
If the large ones are hit by debris,
it could...
Tristan, we're going to be late.
If you get lost today, don't worry.
OK?
Do this with your finger.
See?
And I can see where you are.
Hello?
Hello, Mrs Guerrero.
Ollivier Guytard from Europe Infos.
I've left you several messages
about the accident.
I've already spoken
to your colleagues.
I know,
but we wondered how your son was.
Leave us alone.
Leave us alone.
Right, darling?
If you get lost,
what do you do?
Tell me.
Tristan,
listen.
Fine.
What's that?
It's to
help you.
To help you.
With this, we can go anywhere.
He gets it.
What's wrong, Lazaro?
You think it's funny?
No need to be nasty.
Stop treating him like an idiot.
- We'll talk later.
- No, we won't.
You talk to him like
he'll never get better.
If you carry on like this, he won't.
Keep the keys.
I'll take the bus home.
Come on.
Arms in the air. Again.
- Hello, Mrs Guerrero.
- Pleased to meet you.
Hello, Tristan, I'm Mrs David.
I run the program that connects
young disabled people
with the Space-School students.
As I explained on the phone,
I'll take him
to meet the others,
and his brother is close by.
- Everything will be fine.
- Good.
Guerrero, wake up!
- The curfew's a pain.
- Sure is.
It makes me sick.
Mom can't come today.
I'm taking you.
Hey!
It's my birthday today.
Happy birthday.
I'm having a party, wanna come?
There'll be beer and girls.
No jerks allowed, though.
Want a smoke?
No, thanks.
You're a real blast, man!
Shall we go?
Tristan!
- Bye.
- Bye.
Let's train.
Like before.
- Is that the infected zone?
- No, it's clean here.
Come on.
Drop that.
Come on.
Come on.
Don't let me go.
It's OK, I won't let you go.
Put your head under.
Go ahead.
Come on.
- Try again.
- No. No!
Again.
I don't want to.
Come on.
- Please!
- Try again.
You're the best.
Stop fooling around!
That's it!
Just one minute.
- Lazaro, where were you?
- Out.
- Out where?
- Just out.
Why didn't you answer my calls?
I was training.
Dead battery.
You're watching your brother tonight.
Did you forget?
I was worried!
Now I'm late.
What's wrong?
What is it, Son?
It's as if you enjoy it.
What?
- Forget it.
- No! What do you mean?
Tell me what you mean.
What's happening to us.
You enjoy it.
I enjoy
what's happening?
You're saying I like what's happened?
Listen to me when I'm talking!
Shit!
Do you have any idea
what it's cost me?
When I'm at work,
how they look at me?
The way they treat me!
I gave up everything for you!
Look at me, Lazaro.
I'm going mad!
Look at these flip-flops!
These crappy thongs!
It's been years since I bought any.
I can't stand it.
I'm all alone.
More than if you'd both gone.
That's it, say nothing.
As usual.
What will he do
if anything happens to me?
It keeps me up all night.
Who'll help him?
Tell me.
Have you thought of that?
Of course not.
Because
you're fucking selfish,
like your father.
Where are you going?
Laz?
Please.
I'm sorry.
It should have been Tristan
We're here, guys!
UNFIWAITING LISHello?
- Hello, Lazaro.
- Sir.
I wanted to congratulate you
personally.
I know it's difficult for you,
but the entire faculty is behind you.
Thank you.
We'll talk again with your teachers,
but really well done.
Thank you.
- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.
You're taking my place.
I don't know.
Tristan?
Shit, Tristan!
What are you doing? Come back!
Let me go! Let me go!
Look at me!
Look at me! It's not fair!
Calm down.
I won't abandon you.
Tristan.
You can't
I'm here.
Water could be extracted
from all the asteroids.
- Desalination would be easier.
- You don't know that.
Maybe now, but what if they
find a way to reduce costs?
- That'll change everything.
- I doubt it.
Maybe one day to supply the colonies,
but not Earth.
- Why?
- Because it won't be viable.
It's awesome!
You know nothing.
It's had millions of views.
It's wicked!
He's my brother.
I know. He didn't show up
to my birthday party.
I'm sorry.
So, you're visiting the slums?
This is Charles.
He doesn't say much.
Do you, Charlie?
- This is Leela.
- Hi.
So,
Space School's pretty competitive,
right?
I applied,
but the bastards turned me down.
I heard you shower with the girls.
Is that true?
How do you manage
not to get a hard-on?
Admit it, you sneak a look, right?
That's my mother's head.
OK?
Yes.
This is the bathroom.
And toilet.
There's even a spray
to wash your hole, old-school style.
OK?
And this... This is my palace.
Sit down.
We're gonna chill.
Pretty good, huh?
Who're the bosses?
Yo-yo!
One, two, yo!
Yo, your mother when she sees me
Riding in my Lambo
She screams my name
So that I can fuck her ass
Yo, pussy n' ass, that's my shit,
I'm Oscar
The guy with a big fat brain
Oscar, Escobar,
with his big dagger
Yo, yo, yo!
Can't you see I'm with my homies?
Hey, Mom!
- You're Tristan's brother, right?
- Yes.
No, Mom, seriously, beat it!
OK.
Move it!
And close the door!
Having fun?
Yes.
Cool.
It stinks in here.
Keep still.
It's OK.
The Principal will see you now.
Follow me.
Thank you for coming, Mrs Guerrero.
How are things at home?
At home?
Good... fine.
How's he coping?
He's been back at school
for 2 months.
I'm talking about Lazaro.
Lazaro?
Lazaro...
Fine.
Before, it was difficult.
But
now,
he's accepted it.
Lazaro's grades
have been falling for weeks.
In all subjects.
I'll send you his file,
but it's all here on the screen.
Your son's behavior
is causing us concern.
He needs to get a grip
to have a chance of passing
the second round of tests.
Lazaro and Tristan
have always been very close.
But given what happened...
It's clear to everyone that
their closeness is holding him back.
He's not doing well.
He's lost.
I feel they should be separated,
long enough for Lazaro
to concentrate on the competition.
It will do them both good,
and we'll be there to support Lazaro.
Here.
This is the House of Sun.
A very good establishment.
It will be free of charge, of course.
Is it a place for the disabled?
HOUSE OF SUN
Because in 5 billion years,
the Sun will have burned
and transformed all its hydrogen.
Expelling a cloud of dust and gas
before becoming a red giant.
The planets of our solar system
will turn into a desert of ashes.
But before dying,
the Sun will absorb
the closest of them,
like a magnet.
A nebula will be visible
for 15000 years,
before disappearing
to give birth to a new generation
of stars and planets.
I've bought tickets,
not too expensive.
For a vacation.
Good idea, no?
All of us together?
Get away from the house.
Would you like that?
Would you like that, Titi?
- What's wrong?
- Nothing.
I'm tired.
Wait, you're covered in it.
- Enough. Stop.
- You have some here.
Leave me alone.
Let me wipe it off.
I'll take care of you.
Mom, stop it!
I don't feel well.
Drink, Titi.
Lazaro, what's wrong?
We can't understand it.
We've examined his hand.
There appear to be no after-effects.
We can find nothing that relates
to your sons' accident.
We've carried out a series of tests,
and the encephalogram shows
increased electrical activity.
This is often a sign of stress.
Lazaro seems a little disorientated.
We think it's affecting him
more than he shows.
We think the Principal's solution
is the right one.
Lazaro needs to rest
and focus on his objectives.
We can talk again later,
more calmly.
Goodbye, Mrs Guerrero.
Tristan.
You're ugly.
You're not.
You're not.
You're ugly.
So are you.
No... No.
No.
crushed by the heat...
when I was 6 months pregnant,
I saw something in the sky.
I saw
a light.
I never imagined my child
would be sick because of it.
Beric is 31.
He's the most famous...
- What are you doing?
- Nothing.
You OK?
Yeah.
How can you drink that stuff?
I like it.
It gives you terrible breath.
Mom says we're going on vacation.
It'll be good.
I don't know.
Like before.
Why do you say that?
What?
Don't say like before.
Yes.
Where are you going?
Leave me alone.
Why?
Are you serious?
Don't you get it?
They're gonna lock you up!
Understand?
There's no vacation.
Mom's lying because she's scared.
No one knows what to say
because they pity you.
So stop jerking me around.
Playing dumb.
You just want to know
if I'm gonna finish the competition.
Right?
If I'm gonna go or not.
I know you, Tristan.
We said that you wouldn't go.
"We"?
Who's "we"?
Who said what?
No, no, don't do this.
Stop crying.
Stop it.
Stop.
Stop crying!
Stop!
I'm not crying.
I...
I should have been the one going.
Today's final tests are for a place
on the European Space Force.
We will assess
your physical, cognitive
and motor skills
in unfavorable environments.
As you know,
three French people will be selected
to join the Alliance training camp
in French Guiana.
This year is special
because in one year,
recruitment for
the Eternity Mission will begin.
It's an unprecedented mission.
It will put Europe at the head
of space colonization.
So we need the best.
Environmental reports are disastrous,
as you know.
But with the latest findings
in off-world mining,
Europe will need you more than ever.
You will have to ensure
our sovereignty
and defend the values of our flag,
in space.
I hope that one of you
will be able to meet the challenge.
The future of Europe depends on it,
as does the future of France
and its future colonies.
Good luck, everyone.

Louis Delaporte,

Hello?
Lazaro, your brother...
I don't know what's going on.
What?
Where are you?
- Your brother's crazy!
- What?
I can't hear you, what is it, Mom?
He's smashing everything up!
Lazaro, come home!
Hurry!
Mom, where is he?
I can't take it anymore...
I can't take it anymore...
I'm with your brother.
Wanna come over?
What is that?
I'll go get him.
Tristan Guerrero, leave a message.
Tristan!
Louis!
Where are you?
What's going on?
Where's my brother?
- Fuck your brother!
- Calm down.
You're stealing my fucking place!
- You're fucking it up!
- Calm down.
Stop!
You'll pay for this, son of a bitch!
Stop it!
- Get off me!
- Motherfucker.
Stop!
Stop, Tristan, stop!
Stop it
The larger a star is,
the more cataclysmic
the end of its existence will be.
When they become black holes,
nothing escapes their gravity.
To escape their gravity, you say?
Is that why you're willing
to leave everything behind?
No, that has nothing to do with it.
I'm merely asking.
During all these years on board,
you will forge very strong bonds
with the other members of the crew.
So let me ask you one last question.
You're undertaking a spacewalk,
and you suddenly experience
an oxygen leak.
Procedure requires you
to return to the ship,
but your teammate calls you.
If no-one comes to his aid,
he won't be able to survive.
What do you do?
I first check
that it's not a coolant leak.
In which case, I could open
his left-ear safety valve
to create
a controlled depressurization.
But since I myself
have an oxygen leak,
it's most likely that
both our suits are punctured.
If the perforation is due to
cosmic radiation, I can't help him.
If it's due to space debris,
I would check his vital signs
to assess my room for maneuver
and his chances of survival.
But according to procedure,
you must return to the ship.
I would address those issues
only after abandoning him.
Then why ask them at all?
To justify my decision.
And not to escape gravity.
My teammate should have the courage
not to impose that choice on me.
The Eternity mission
is our last chance.
Its success cannot be jeopardized
by the death of one individual.
Hello?
Mr Guerrero,
given your brother's condition,
you may return to France
to say goodbye.
Congratulations.
Come in.
Hello, my love.
How are you?
Are you OK?
Look who's here to see you.
I'm going to see the doctor.
You OK?
You're scared, too.
You're scared of me.
I didn't want him to die, Laz.
- I didn't want him to die.
- I know.
Look.
I brought you this.
Laz...
What is it?
Help me.
Help me.
No.
Help me.
Please.
It'll be OK.
It'll be OK.
We leave together.
I can't do this.
We leave together.
