It's Raining in the House (2023) Movie Script
IT'S RAINING IN THE HOUSE
This is heavy, Jesus!
Come on, come on!
I'm in pain here!
- I don't care.
I'm carrying on.
Wait for me, damn it.
They're fucking slipping.
Want me to take one?
- No.
If you drop those
bottles, I'll smack you!
No.
No, you'll hurt your arms.
- It's fine.
It's OK like this.
- Do it your way!
Come on, I won't stop again.
Who made you the boss?
What?
Carry it all, we'll
see if you stop.
I'd just leave it all.
Go!
- There's a rock.
I don't care!
Wait for me.
- You're pissing me off. Come on!
You've 3 bags of cereal,
and your arms hurt.
They're heavy!
- Of course!
I'll show you
heavy... on your head!
Fuck's sake.
What are you doing?
- It's raining.
Go and sleep with Mum.
- I don't want to.
I'm nearly 18. I share my brother's bed.
- And I've no money.
We need a solution, I can't
keep sleeping with him.
He snores, his feet stink.
So sleep downstairs.
You ready?
- No.
You promised. Get
dressed, come on!
So annoying.
- Get me a cig.
Yeah.
Wait, I'll go.
Ready?
Yeah.
- Here.
Goodbye kiss?
- No time, we'll miss the bus.
See you later!
You're making life hard.
- No, you are.
Why not go tomorrow?
- You made us miss the bus.
Let's go tomorrow.
- It's shut.
Smile!
You too!
- It's not a shop.
Shut? Schools are always open.
It shuts for the summer. Idiot!
There'll be teachers working though?
- True.
There's a car coming.
Smile!
- And you!
Smile! Come on!
- Stop walking!
Shit...
I think it means
you're expelled.
It says failed, then transfer.
I don't care.
You've screwed up.
Give me that cig.
Youss is on his way.
- What for?
To get me.
I'm going with Dono.
To celebrate your great success?
- Yeah.
Is that him?
He's nailed that loser look.
All good, little bro?
What do you think the
sky's maximum height is?
There isn't one.
Like, you know, you get to some
height and you can't go up any more?
Like, that's it.
No, you can go as high as you like.
- You think?
Yeah.
- I don't think so.
What, you bounce off?
- I don't mean that.
I don't know, it
repels you or whatever?
Like you're just stopped, eh?
You get up high, keep going up.
On the ground...
like, you can't just
go down all you want.
Course you can.
I don't know, man.
You're losing the plot.
- Yep.
You said yes to that!
What?
- Get off, it's not for playing on!
I've told you twice now!
What is it?
It's not for playing on!
Oh yeah?
Take that.
- Bastard!
Christ, it looks
like a US college!
You know what I mean.
I do, but...
The photos draw you in.
Really, the bins overflow.
In the end it's a
website, designed to sell.
It's great.
- I'll be glad to go there.
I have the feeling
it'll be good for me.
Do you mind if I smoke?
No, no, go ahead.
You know it's bad, yet you still do it.
- Oh, I know.
Yeah, I know you know, but...
Anyway, we've already
had this conversation.
Leave me your deodorant.
My mum sniffs me.
Like a police dog.
- It's a coconut scent!
Coconut or not my mum
will know I was with you.
So? She can't know?
It's not you, if they
knew I had a girl...
well, you know.
I'm crazy about you, that's not
it. But my mum would kill me.
When will you sign up?
I've already done it. 3 or
4 days ago. Did it online.
That's great.
Yeah.
OK there, Mak?
Want the whole pan?
It's fine, he's still growing.
It's the hormones.
Well, it smells like hormones.
- Shut up.
Stop it!
Eh?
- No.
Just a sip.
- I said no.
Plans for tomorrow?
Stupid shit.
A ride with Dono.
Stupid shit.
Going where?
Just a ride, not sure where.
- Stealing bikes.
What do you mean, bikes?
Eh, Mak? What bikes?
- There's no bikes.
Think I don't see
you? And the bikes?
That's Dono's bike.
He changes it a lot.
- He's loaded.
You're gross, eat properly!
I didn't do a thing.
You see that, but say nothing!
- It's fine.
Give me the lighter.
- No.
Give me the lighter.
You're not funny.
Mak?
Mak?
- Yeah?
You want the bath water?
No.
Purdey?
Purdey?
What?
- I've got a spot.
So I see.
- Got any cream?
Yeah, of course.
You have to leave it on.
Yeah.
Gonna sort that moustache?
- Leave me be.
Purdey?
What's he doing with
that shopping trolley?
I didn't even
realise it was Dono.
What a loser!
Don't come near
this with your cigs.
Youss gave it to me.
Jesus!
- What?
Stop it.
Remember I can't swim.
- Move up.
Hold on to me.
- Yeah...
There's no need...
- I've got you.
I'm slipping, too.
Come here!
- It's cold!
Mak.
Mak, come here!
- Too cold.
Mak!
- It's too cold.
I don't care, get here!
Dono, come on!
- But it's cold!
I don't care, come on!
Come and get me... Mak!
Come here.
It's fine, Pe!
Shut up!
- There's weeds, pond weed.
Don't care.
- There's weeds.
Makenzy!
- I can't!
Come on, hurry up!
I'm not laughing.
- She's actually quite far.
Mak, I'm going to drown!
You're on an inflatable.
- And if it goes down?
Call me when you get there.
- Hey, come on!
Call Youss!
Come and get me!
But why?
For failing at school.
Is that all?
Yeah, plus stuff like yesterday.
We all forget sometimes...
I left stuff on the table,
like my plate. Stupid
things, you know.
He saw that, said "Put
that in the dishwasher!"
So I did. Then he lost it,
started hitting me and stuff.
Hitting? Like really
hitting you, or more slaps?
Really hitting.
Why don't you hit him?
He's my stepdad, man...
- So?
You shouldn't let him do that.
I'm not saying hit him,
but you can get help.
And your mum never
hit you guys then?
No.
- When we were kids, not any more.
She wouldn't dare now.
You guys complain, like,
that your mum's never around,
but it must still
be nice, right?
That depends.
- Right.
Leave that open,
it needs airing.
This way, follow me.
Put the sheets down there.
You check that the
thermostat's off, OK?
Now we'll do the fridge.
You won't believe the
mess people leave.
All food gets
thrown out, alright?
Even if it's OK?
Yep, all of it. We
can't keep a thing.
OK.
- Bin it all, alright?
And now we'll go upstairs.
You put limescale
stuff in the bath.
OK.
Any siblings, Purdey?
- A younger brother.
How old is he?
- 15.
Have you worked here for long?
- 8 years.
Since it started.
She's part of the
furniture. Like me.
It's hard here, you know.
But where I worked
before, it was worse!
Here we go again...
- They've heard it.
It's new to her.
- Yeah, carry on.
We know it by heart, but go on.
Tell her all about
the world of cleaning.
Before she quits!
Go, fast, there's nobody there.
Quick, quick.
Go on, get watching.
- Carry on, I'm on look-out.
Go quickly. Quicker.
Be quick.
Done it?
Go, go, go.
The bolt cutter!
LOVE YOU SIS. KEEP
GOING. DRINK IN FRIDGE.
I'll be 18 in a few weeks' time.
My mother's not...
not very present.
And the household
situation is complicated.
No, I've a brother aged
15, but I want him with me.
In court?
Even if I'm of age?
Alright.
Yes, thank you.
You too. Goodbye.
Any spare change please?
Thanks, have a nice day.
- You're welcome.
Where should I put this?
- In there.
Anyway, she'll be back
when it's all over.
And you'll forgive her.
You will forgive her.
As in, you won't?
Christ, those bags
hurt my hands.
The ice lolly helps.
Imagine when we, well I,
have a driving licence.
We'll be able to
go shopping by car.
I'll get a licence before you.
You can't get a
licence with 20 euros.
What about you?
Not like you've loads more.
- Yeah.
It's gross.
Look at that guy.
How can he wear those?
- I don't know...
You would.
- No man, that's too far.
He got them in a kids' size.
Clearly they're an item.
- Yeah, I reckon...
That's fucked, though.
What you doing?
- Letting air in.
No, no, don't. I have air con.
- Air con?
Yeah, we have that here.
I've tidied my room. Can
you keep your stuff tidy?
Will do.
Are you a neat freak?
No, I just like
having a tidy room.
Where've you been?
I saw Mum at the cafe.
Did she speak to you?
No, I was with Youss.
You were with Youss?
Yeah, I slept at his.
You do know I'm fed up
of not having a room?
Maybe it wasn't her.
It was her.
She's nearby but won't
even check on us.
Can I have the lighter?
That's just how she is.
Stop going soft on
her. We're not dogs.
She's our mum, what can you do?
Mum's not the only issue.
Fancy a winter
with no hot water?
I'm going to fix your room.
The window, I may
have found a way.
You don't want to leave?
- No.
Wouldn't you rather
live in town?
It's Gran's house,
I want to keep it.
You want to stay just for Mum.
Samira?
- Yes?
Alright?
- Alright.
Want some help?
- No, I'm nearly there.
I had a question for you.
- Fire away.
Do you think I could
get an annual contract?
A student one?
No, things are complicated
with my mum and I want to...
move out with my little brother.
Oh? I thought you
wanted to be a nurse?
Yes, true, but I'll
study again later.
I've got someone going
off on maternity.
I planned to replace her
after your student contract.
I can talk to HR for
you, if you like?
But I can only promise
part-time, off-season work.
It's a good start.
Will we know soon?
Yeah, they decide quite fast.
But...
you sure about this, Purdey?
It's no easy life.
Yeah.
Here we are.
Look, that tyre's all flat!
Just an inner tube, dead cheap.
Plus it has a nice little
basket. And a bell.
Yes, but it's all rusty there.
Just needs oil. We'd do
it, but we've none left.
It is nice. But the condition it's in...
- Full option.
Full option. And a
good make: Scott.
It would cost you
300 euros, new.
I could buy new for that.
Not like this one.
- I'll give you half.
I'll give you 60. All done.
70?
- Alright, 70.
Alright.
At that price, you put it in the boot.
- OK.
She's not too hard up.
- You're not wrong.
That's a nice car.
- Yes, thanks.
What year's it from?
Sorry?
- What year?
2014 I think.
Diesel?
- Yes.
Is it a twin turbo?
- I've no idea.
Let me take the basket off.
You live here?
- Yes.
Is the bike for yourself?
Yes, it's for me.
There's those two small
things to be done.
Thanks.
- Bye.
Thank you.
She's proper blonde, eh?
Goodbye, madam!
- Bye.
So where's your sister?
- At Youss's.
She's staying over, his
folks are in Morocco.
He is weird, though, that Youss.
Spot on. I said so on day one.
- Yeah.
He thinks he's better than others.
- Yeah.
Can I have the Playstation this weekend?
- No, mate.
I'll be with my girlfriend,
I'm sure I'll play
Playstation with her.
Your girlfriend from Wish.
- No, mate.
We all know your
girl's a Google photo.
No way man, you've seen
pics of me and her.
She has friends, if you want.
I don't give a shit.
She could introduce you.
- I said, I don't give a shit.
You're a knob.
- No, mate.
Yes. You have her, but
won't lend me this.
I'll be playing it with her.
If you ask me
something, I do it.
Go.
Do you have any white vinegar?
- Yes, second aisle.
I did look, but I can't
find it. Can you help me?
OK, I'll come and help you.
- Thanks.
Here it is.
- That one? Sure?
Yes that's it. Is
it white vinegar?
Blue is in the name, but it's white.
- It's for my mum.
You get red vinegar too.
- What's that for?
But she asked for white?
Is it for a salad
dressing or for cleaning?
Anyway, she asked for
white, that's this one.
OK? That one?
- Thanks.
You take that.
- Thank you.
Let me through. Thanks.
- No problem.
Here we are.
- That's 1.50, please.
Here you go.
- Thank you.
2, 3... 3.40...
That's fine, don't worry.
Thank you, young man.
- That's OK. Bye.
They're not bad.
I've seen you, eyeing them up.
I wasn't.
- Course not...
They speak french, I think.
Ask them.
You alright, girls?
Hey, girls?!
No response.
Eh, you alright?
Ever done stuff with a girl?
Why are you asking me that?
- I don't know.
You know. You know,
you know, eh?
You've done stuff, with
your girl with a cock.
No...
- I'm sure your girl has a dick.
Sometimes she fucks me up
the arse till I'm broken.
Just kidding, mate.
Weirdo!
- Wine, please.
You've had enough. Try coke.
Don't like it.
- You're weird when you're drunk.
Mate, I'm gonna have to go.
- Why?
You know my stepdad
will kill me if I don't.
For fuck's sake...
I'll finish my
cig, then I'm off.
You going home stinking?
You have to go so early.
It's bright as day.
It's my stepdad, man.
You come, you drink
for a bit, you go.
It's not up to me.
- I know.
Right.
This is Matteo. He's 6.
And Lila and Mila. They're 3.
I want kids, too.
And Ocane. She's 14.
She's 14?
- Yeah, she's my big girl.
I was young when I
had her. I was 18.
Yeah, I mean I
don't want kids yet.
You have time.
- Yeah.
Where do they go to school?
- Sainte Marie.
Well Ocane's at the Athne.
- I went there too.
Sainte Marie?
- Yeah.
Kids are great, but they're hard
work. And they're expensive!
Being a mum is the best
thing in the world.
I'm sure it is.
Yes?
- Is Leila in?
Who are you?
- A friend.
Are you Alain?
- Yes.
I thought she was with you.
No news for 2 days.
This address was on a letter.
Well, she's not here.
Are you family?
- I'm her son.
It needs work, this shack.
Yeah.
- There's damp upstairs.
Yeah, I know. I
need to go back in.
Yeah, alright.
- OK.
Goodbye.
- Bye.
Wait.
If you see her, get her to call me?
- Yeah, OK.
Purdey?
Purdey?
Mum?
Dude, wait! You stupid or what?
Lift together, you fool!
You're a fool if you
push. Are you crazy?
Move, move, move, move.
You're the asshole, man.
You stupid or what? Fuck, man.
Too far, dude.
- It's you, you're stupid too.
Help me unfold it.
No, fuck that.
It's your sister's.
Oh, shut up.
That's good now.
- No, I'll do it.
Come on, I know how to do it.
- Pick up the falling bits.
OK, do it then!
You've put 4 tons in one spot!
No way, man...
- I can see it!
Do the other side.
Come on, move, move!
Put the glass back.
What an idiot!
- It was an accident.
How was it? What an arsehole!
You piss me off!
It was an accident. Calm down.
You dropped it. What accident?
Mate, it's a window.
Now it'll rain in even more!
You're pissing me off.
Fuck off, man! Go home.
- No, bro.
Go home. Why you still here?
Go home? I come to help you
and you treat me like this?
You dropped the glass,
man. How's that help?
Go on, get out!
Are you dumb?
- You want some?
Fuck off home!
- Fuck you, man.
Fucker!
- That's you!
Take your shitty wheels and fuck off.
- Fuck you.
Loser!
Jesus, he's annoying.
Alright?
What?
- Where you guys from?
Brussels.
From the capital?
Are you on holiday?
- What?
Are you on holiday?
Either way, we're
off. Time to eat.
Hold on, I've something for you.
Fancy a bit of Dutch weed?
- We don't smoke.
Relax, try it.
You're on holiday.
Let's see it.
- You want to see?
Charles stop it. I'm going back.
What's up with him?
- I don't know. Funny mood...
You wanna try?
Alright...
What do you do?
You put it in, roll it...
- No, no, I mean, how do you smoke?
Mate, I've never smoked.
I'm a bit nervous.
Like, do I just breathe?
- You draw, breathe in, and out.
It'll blow you away.
Oh, that's not nice.
Drag, you'll get used to it.
It's true.
Ah, it burns!
Here.
And you can just smoke that easily?
- Yeah.
It's not for kids.
What do you do all day?
I chill on the
beach with my mate.
My dad and my brother go
jet-skiing and sailing.
Jet-skiing?
- Yeah, it's a standing-up one.
You can do tricks. He
doesn't, but it's cool.
There's a sit-down one too.
Where do you hire them?
- We don't.
Oh, they're his own?
- Yeah.
You don't want to be hiring, eh?
Such a pain.
How does he transport his jet skis?
- A trailer.
Right, yeah.
You've never jet-skied?
- Yeah, my dad has one too.
Nice.
What does your dad do?
In a firm, he's CEO of
something in Africa.
I don't care, like.
- Daddy's boy!
Yeah, no.
- A little bit.
Just having jet skis and big cars
doesn't make me a daddy's boy.
You don't work for
stuff. You just ask.
Why? Do you work? Man,
come on! You're 16.
Our job's to chill!
- Yeah...
We're here to enjoy life!
Not to work from a young age.
We're not in the mines now.
Yeah, my dad too, he's in...
- Oh yeah, in what?
In banking. He's the
leader of a bank.
Leader?
- Yeah.
Never heard it called that.
- What would you say?
I don't know, CEO, boss.
- Leader?
He manages his workers.
- His workers, right...
So, what you buying?
- The joint?
You buying it or not?
- No, no, I've no money on me, sorry.
You'll pay for the joint, eh?
That? Dude, I had two drags max!
Not like I took your package.
So? You drag, you pay. Simple.
You serious?
- Yep.
No joke. You're paying.
I'm sorry. I'll pay you
tomorrow. I didn't know.
No, today. I might
not see you again.
Bro, I don't have
any money on me.
Your dad's a CEO.
You've got cash.
Your dad's a CEO and
you wear those shoes?
Liar, I bet there's
dosh in here.
You're the liar. With
that phone? Those shoes?
Leave my bag alone!
Fuck's sake, man!
Everything's in that bag.
No.
When you start getting a
salary, you'll want more.
You'll want more, for sure.
You'll have to look after
your brother, pay bills, etc.
So you study again. How
do you pay the rent?
I don't know. We'll see.
- No. Why?
Kick the can down the road.
Later, OK, later, later. But
your future is built now.
This choice now is how you build
it. How will you pay your rent?
I'll work weekends.
- You'll work... you'll work weekends.
What's your brother doing,
meanwhile? Taking it easy.
I really don't know
what you're thinking.
You can't manage yourself,
let alone him too.
I'm not being mean,
but you're still a kid.
What do you mean, still a kid?
How would you live alone?
I've been taking care
of me and him for years.
Because we don't have a mother.
- You never tell me about it.
I get it, OK.
You need to look
after your brother.
You want to take your
life in your own hands.
You want to be a maid for
the rest of your life?
A maid is nothing!
When I'm something,
with a big house,
done my studies, with
money... you'll have nothing.
I'm going to leave.
- You're leaving?
I wasn't telling you to leave.
After all you've just said,
you think I want to stay?
Purdey, I'm not
trying to be mean...
I'd just rather be honest.
I'm not enjoying this.
What we have, it's
not how I see...
my girlfriend.
I'm going to be at
college next year.
Hoping to meet a
middle-class girl?
Let's not get mixed
up. Did I say that?
I'll walk you home,
it's not safe.
Fuck off.
Really?
What a crazy world.
It's unbelievable.
The parents complained, but
they're from Brussels...
He did that for no reason?
- I don't know.
I think he wanted to steal his
bag or something like that.
Some arsehole thing. So the kid
thought he was going to die.
He came home in tears,
shaking and all.
Can you imagine?
Is this arsehole from round here?
- According to the kid, yeah.
Do that to my kids, I'll find
you and put you under the water!
I mean yeah.
Alright, Purdey?
Here we are. This is the studio.
It's a nice space, very bright.
It's south-facing,
gets the sun all day.
How big is it?
- It's 35 m2, with the bathroom.
Come in, come in. Have a look.
It's furnished, so
everything here is staying.
Everything's here: fully equipped
kitchen, induction hob, microwave.
There's even a cooker
hood. In the kitchen.
In terms of furniture,
there's a sofa.
And in fact it folds
out into a sofa-bed.
So this space actually
turns into a bedroom.
OK.
- So, there we are.
And you are looking
for yourself?
It's for me and
my little brother.
Your brother.
- Yes.
Without being rude,
how old are you?
I'll be 18 in a few days.
Are you in work?
- At Golden Lake.
I'm a cleaner. I've a completed
student contract there.
I'm about to sign a part-time contract.
- OK.
I asked because...
the rent for this
place is 500 euros,
with the furniture,
the white goods.
Then there's also 100
euros for utilities.
For the oil-fired
boiler and the water.
We do have lots of
other properties.
Not always as smart as
this one, unfurnished.
A little smaller maybe, but
that might suit you better.
Are you registered on our website?
- Yes.
Good. You'll get notifications.
You can apply for this flat, but
there have been a lot of viewings.
I have 4 more
viewings this week.
So there's competition, right?
- Yeah...
Alright?
- Alright, yes.
Fuck.
Mum?
Get up.
I need a wee.
I need a wee.
Wait.
Drink this.
A bit more, you hardly had any.
Where are you?
Just like that.
Mum came home.
Not good.
I had to put her to bed.
As she came back... not well.
No.
When will you be home?
So I'll be on my own?
Come and eat, it's ready.
Coming.
Can you bring the
ladle? I forgot.
Thanks.
Here we go.
Is that enough?
- Yeah.
Where you are, can I stand up?
- Yep, you can.
Why are you coming to me?
- It's OK, come close!
No, I can't stand up, quick!
Hold me.
What are you doing? Stop!
- Wait.
Wait, let me get close to you.
You can stand up!
I'm just doing a wee...
- Stop it, fuck's sake!
You piss me off.
Think you're funny? Did you pee?
Yes.
- You're a shitbag.
Not so funny as the victim, eh?
Whatever. I'm off for a swim.
- Take some pee.
Did you really piss?
- Open your mouth!
Yes, I did.
- I'm getting out.
Go on then! At
least it's warmer!
Eat your meat.
Look.
You're disgusting.
I'm eating here!
What's wrong with you?
You don't like it?
I don't want to go home.
Me neither.
Smith Pulse Translations
This is heavy, Jesus!
Come on, come on!
I'm in pain here!
- I don't care.
I'm carrying on.
Wait for me, damn it.
They're fucking slipping.
Want me to take one?
- No.
If you drop those
bottles, I'll smack you!
No.
No, you'll hurt your arms.
- It's fine.
It's OK like this.
- Do it your way!
Come on, I won't stop again.
Who made you the boss?
What?
Carry it all, we'll
see if you stop.
I'd just leave it all.
Go!
- There's a rock.
I don't care!
Wait for me.
- You're pissing me off. Come on!
You've 3 bags of cereal,
and your arms hurt.
They're heavy!
- Of course!
I'll show you
heavy... on your head!
Fuck's sake.
What are you doing?
- It's raining.
Go and sleep with Mum.
- I don't want to.
I'm nearly 18. I share my brother's bed.
- And I've no money.
We need a solution, I can't
keep sleeping with him.
He snores, his feet stink.
So sleep downstairs.
You ready?
- No.
You promised. Get
dressed, come on!
So annoying.
- Get me a cig.
Yeah.
Wait, I'll go.
Ready?
Yeah.
- Here.
Goodbye kiss?
- No time, we'll miss the bus.
See you later!
You're making life hard.
- No, you are.
Why not go tomorrow?
- You made us miss the bus.
Let's go tomorrow.
- It's shut.
Smile!
You too!
- It's not a shop.
Shut? Schools are always open.
It shuts for the summer. Idiot!
There'll be teachers working though?
- True.
There's a car coming.
Smile!
- And you!
Smile! Come on!
- Stop walking!
Shit...
I think it means
you're expelled.
It says failed, then transfer.
I don't care.
You've screwed up.
Give me that cig.
Youss is on his way.
- What for?
To get me.
I'm going with Dono.
To celebrate your great success?
- Yeah.
Is that him?
He's nailed that loser look.
All good, little bro?
What do you think the
sky's maximum height is?
There isn't one.
Like, you know, you get to some
height and you can't go up any more?
Like, that's it.
No, you can go as high as you like.
- You think?
Yeah.
- I don't think so.
What, you bounce off?
- I don't mean that.
I don't know, it
repels you or whatever?
Like you're just stopped, eh?
You get up high, keep going up.
On the ground...
like, you can't just
go down all you want.
Course you can.
I don't know, man.
You're losing the plot.
- Yep.
You said yes to that!
What?
- Get off, it's not for playing on!
I've told you twice now!
What is it?
It's not for playing on!
Oh yeah?
Take that.
- Bastard!
Christ, it looks
like a US college!
You know what I mean.
I do, but...
The photos draw you in.
Really, the bins overflow.
In the end it's a
website, designed to sell.
It's great.
- I'll be glad to go there.
I have the feeling
it'll be good for me.
Do you mind if I smoke?
No, no, go ahead.
You know it's bad, yet you still do it.
- Oh, I know.
Yeah, I know you know, but...
Anyway, we've already
had this conversation.
Leave me your deodorant.
My mum sniffs me.
Like a police dog.
- It's a coconut scent!
Coconut or not my mum
will know I was with you.
So? She can't know?
It's not you, if they
knew I had a girl...
well, you know.
I'm crazy about you, that's not
it. But my mum would kill me.
When will you sign up?
I've already done it. 3 or
4 days ago. Did it online.
That's great.
Yeah.
OK there, Mak?
Want the whole pan?
It's fine, he's still growing.
It's the hormones.
Well, it smells like hormones.
- Shut up.
Stop it!
Eh?
- No.
Just a sip.
- I said no.
Plans for tomorrow?
Stupid shit.
A ride with Dono.
Stupid shit.
Going where?
Just a ride, not sure where.
- Stealing bikes.
What do you mean, bikes?
Eh, Mak? What bikes?
- There's no bikes.
Think I don't see
you? And the bikes?
That's Dono's bike.
He changes it a lot.
- He's loaded.
You're gross, eat properly!
I didn't do a thing.
You see that, but say nothing!
- It's fine.
Give me the lighter.
- No.
Give me the lighter.
You're not funny.
Mak?
Mak?
- Yeah?
You want the bath water?
No.
Purdey?
Purdey?
What?
- I've got a spot.
So I see.
- Got any cream?
Yeah, of course.
You have to leave it on.
Yeah.
Gonna sort that moustache?
- Leave me be.
Purdey?
What's he doing with
that shopping trolley?
I didn't even
realise it was Dono.
What a loser!
Don't come near
this with your cigs.
Youss gave it to me.
Jesus!
- What?
Stop it.
Remember I can't swim.
- Move up.
Hold on to me.
- Yeah...
There's no need...
- I've got you.
I'm slipping, too.
Come here!
- It's cold!
Mak.
Mak, come here!
- Too cold.
Mak!
- It's too cold.
I don't care, get here!
Dono, come on!
- But it's cold!
I don't care, come on!
Come and get me... Mak!
Come here.
It's fine, Pe!
Shut up!
- There's weeds, pond weed.
Don't care.
- There's weeds.
Makenzy!
- I can't!
Come on, hurry up!
I'm not laughing.
- She's actually quite far.
Mak, I'm going to drown!
You're on an inflatable.
- And if it goes down?
Call me when you get there.
- Hey, come on!
Call Youss!
Come and get me!
But why?
For failing at school.
Is that all?
Yeah, plus stuff like yesterday.
We all forget sometimes...
I left stuff on the table,
like my plate. Stupid
things, you know.
He saw that, said "Put
that in the dishwasher!"
So I did. Then he lost it,
started hitting me and stuff.
Hitting? Like really
hitting you, or more slaps?
Really hitting.
Why don't you hit him?
He's my stepdad, man...
- So?
You shouldn't let him do that.
I'm not saying hit him,
but you can get help.
And your mum never
hit you guys then?
No.
- When we were kids, not any more.
She wouldn't dare now.
You guys complain, like,
that your mum's never around,
but it must still
be nice, right?
That depends.
- Right.
Leave that open,
it needs airing.
This way, follow me.
Put the sheets down there.
You check that the
thermostat's off, OK?
Now we'll do the fridge.
You won't believe the
mess people leave.
All food gets
thrown out, alright?
Even if it's OK?
Yep, all of it. We
can't keep a thing.
OK.
- Bin it all, alright?
And now we'll go upstairs.
You put limescale
stuff in the bath.
OK.
Any siblings, Purdey?
- A younger brother.
How old is he?
- 15.
Have you worked here for long?
- 8 years.
Since it started.
She's part of the
furniture. Like me.
It's hard here, you know.
But where I worked
before, it was worse!
Here we go again...
- They've heard it.
It's new to her.
- Yeah, carry on.
We know it by heart, but go on.
Tell her all about
the world of cleaning.
Before she quits!
Go, fast, there's nobody there.
Quick, quick.
Go on, get watching.
- Carry on, I'm on look-out.
Go quickly. Quicker.
Be quick.
Done it?
Go, go, go.
The bolt cutter!
LOVE YOU SIS. KEEP
GOING. DRINK IN FRIDGE.
I'll be 18 in a few weeks' time.
My mother's not...
not very present.
And the household
situation is complicated.
No, I've a brother aged
15, but I want him with me.
In court?
Even if I'm of age?
Alright.
Yes, thank you.
You too. Goodbye.
Any spare change please?
Thanks, have a nice day.
- You're welcome.
Where should I put this?
- In there.
Anyway, she'll be back
when it's all over.
And you'll forgive her.
You will forgive her.
As in, you won't?
Christ, those bags
hurt my hands.
The ice lolly helps.
Imagine when we, well I,
have a driving licence.
We'll be able to
go shopping by car.
I'll get a licence before you.
You can't get a
licence with 20 euros.
What about you?
Not like you've loads more.
- Yeah.
It's gross.
Look at that guy.
How can he wear those?
- I don't know...
You would.
- No man, that's too far.
He got them in a kids' size.
Clearly they're an item.
- Yeah, I reckon...
That's fucked, though.
What you doing?
- Letting air in.
No, no, don't. I have air con.
- Air con?
Yeah, we have that here.
I've tidied my room. Can
you keep your stuff tidy?
Will do.
Are you a neat freak?
No, I just like
having a tidy room.
Where've you been?
I saw Mum at the cafe.
Did she speak to you?
No, I was with Youss.
You were with Youss?
Yeah, I slept at his.
You do know I'm fed up
of not having a room?
Maybe it wasn't her.
It was her.
She's nearby but won't
even check on us.
Can I have the lighter?
That's just how she is.
Stop going soft on
her. We're not dogs.
She's our mum, what can you do?
Mum's not the only issue.
Fancy a winter
with no hot water?
I'm going to fix your room.
The window, I may
have found a way.
You don't want to leave?
- No.
Wouldn't you rather
live in town?
It's Gran's house,
I want to keep it.
You want to stay just for Mum.
Samira?
- Yes?
Alright?
- Alright.
Want some help?
- No, I'm nearly there.
I had a question for you.
- Fire away.
Do you think I could
get an annual contract?
A student one?
No, things are complicated
with my mum and I want to...
move out with my little brother.
Oh? I thought you
wanted to be a nurse?
Yes, true, but I'll
study again later.
I've got someone going
off on maternity.
I planned to replace her
after your student contract.
I can talk to HR for
you, if you like?
But I can only promise
part-time, off-season work.
It's a good start.
Will we know soon?
Yeah, they decide quite fast.
But...
you sure about this, Purdey?
It's no easy life.
Yeah.
Here we are.
Look, that tyre's all flat!
Just an inner tube, dead cheap.
Plus it has a nice little
basket. And a bell.
Yes, but it's all rusty there.
Just needs oil. We'd do
it, but we've none left.
It is nice. But the condition it's in...
- Full option.
Full option. And a
good make: Scott.
It would cost you
300 euros, new.
I could buy new for that.
Not like this one.
- I'll give you half.
I'll give you 60. All done.
70?
- Alright, 70.
Alright.
At that price, you put it in the boot.
- OK.
She's not too hard up.
- You're not wrong.
That's a nice car.
- Yes, thanks.
What year's it from?
Sorry?
- What year?
2014 I think.
Diesel?
- Yes.
Is it a twin turbo?
- I've no idea.
Let me take the basket off.
You live here?
- Yes.
Is the bike for yourself?
Yes, it's for me.
There's those two small
things to be done.
Thanks.
- Bye.
Thank you.
She's proper blonde, eh?
Goodbye, madam!
- Bye.
So where's your sister?
- At Youss's.
She's staying over, his
folks are in Morocco.
He is weird, though, that Youss.
Spot on. I said so on day one.
- Yeah.
He thinks he's better than others.
- Yeah.
Can I have the Playstation this weekend?
- No, mate.
I'll be with my girlfriend,
I'm sure I'll play
Playstation with her.
Your girlfriend from Wish.
- No, mate.
We all know your
girl's a Google photo.
No way man, you've seen
pics of me and her.
She has friends, if you want.
I don't give a shit.
She could introduce you.
- I said, I don't give a shit.
You're a knob.
- No, mate.
Yes. You have her, but
won't lend me this.
I'll be playing it with her.
If you ask me
something, I do it.
Go.
Do you have any white vinegar?
- Yes, second aisle.
I did look, but I can't
find it. Can you help me?
OK, I'll come and help you.
- Thanks.
Here it is.
- That one? Sure?
Yes that's it. Is
it white vinegar?
Blue is in the name, but it's white.
- It's for my mum.
You get red vinegar too.
- What's that for?
But she asked for white?
Is it for a salad
dressing or for cleaning?
Anyway, she asked for
white, that's this one.
OK? That one?
- Thanks.
You take that.
- Thank you.
Let me through. Thanks.
- No problem.
Here we are.
- That's 1.50, please.
Here you go.
- Thank you.
2, 3... 3.40...
That's fine, don't worry.
Thank you, young man.
- That's OK. Bye.
They're not bad.
I've seen you, eyeing them up.
I wasn't.
- Course not...
They speak french, I think.
Ask them.
You alright, girls?
Hey, girls?!
No response.
Eh, you alright?
Ever done stuff with a girl?
Why are you asking me that?
- I don't know.
You know. You know,
you know, eh?
You've done stuff, with
your girl with a cock.
No...
- I'm sure your girl has a dick.
Sometimes she fucks me up
the arse till I'm broken.
Just kidding, mate.
Weirdo!
- Wine, please.
You've had enough. Try coke.
Don't like it.
- You're weird when you're drunk.
Mate, I'm gonna have to go.
- Why?
You know my stepdad
will kill me if I don't.
For fuck's sake...
I'll finish my
cig, then I'm off.
You going home stinking?
You have to go so early.
It's bright as day.
It's my stepdad, man.
You come, you drink
for a bit, you go.
It's not up to me.
- I know.
Right.
This is Matteo. He's 6.
And Lila and Mila. They're 3.
I want kids, too.
And Ocane. She's 14.
She's 14?
- Yeah, she's my big girl.
I was young when I
had her. I was 18.
Yeah, I mean I
don't want kids yet.
You have time.
- Yeah.
Where do they go to school?
- Sainte Marie.
Well Ocane's at the Athne.
- I went there too.
Sainte Marie?
- Yeah.
Kids are great, but they're hard
work. And they're expensive!
Being a mum is the best
thing in the world.
I'm sure it is.
Yes?
- Is Leila in?
Who are you?
- A friend.
Are you Alain?
- Yes.
I thought she was with you.
No news for 2 days.
This address was on a letter.
Well, she's not here.
Are you family?
- I'm her son.
It needs work, this shack.
Yeah.
- There's damp upstairs.
Yeah, I know. I
need to go back in.
Yeah, alright.
- OK.
Goodbye.
- Bye.
Wait.
If you see her, get her to call me?
- Yeah, OK.
Purdey?
Purdey?
Mum?
Dude, wait! You stupid or what?
Lift together, you fool!
You're a fool if you
push. Are you crazy?
Move, move, move, move.
You're the asshole, man.
You stupid or what? Fuck, man.
Too far, dude.
- It's you, you're stupid too.
Help me unfold it.
No, fuck that.
It's your sister's.
Oh, shut up.
That's good now.
- No, I'll do it.
Come on, I know how to do it.
- Pick up the falling bits.
OK, do it then!
You've put 4 tons in one spot!
No way, man...
- I can see it!
Do the other side.
Come on, move, move!
Put the glass back.
What an idiot!
- It was an accident.
How was it? What an arsehole!
You piss me off!
It was an accident. Calm down.
You dropped it. What accident?
Mate, it's a window.
Now it'll rain in even more!
You're pissing me off.
Fuck off, man! Go home.
- No, bro.
Go home. Why you still here?
Go home? I come to help you
and you treat me like this?
You dropped the glass,
man. How's that help?
Go on, get out!
Are you dumb?
- You want some?
Fuck off home!
- Fuck you, man.
Fucker!
- That's you!
Take your shitty wheels and fuck off.
- Fuck you.
Loser!
Jesus, he's annoying.
Alright?
What?
- Where you guys from?
Brussels.
From the capital?
Are you on holiday?
- What?
Are you on holiday?
Either way, we're
off. Time to eat.
Hold on, I've something for you.
Fancy a bit of Dutch weed?
- We don't smoke.
Relax, try it.
You're on holiday.
Let's see it.
- You want to see?
Charles stop it. I'm going back.
What's up with him?
- I don't know. Funny mood...
You wanna try?
Alright...
What do you do?
You put it in, roll it...
- No, no, I mean, how do you smoke?
Mate, I've never smoked.
I'm a bit nervous.
Like, do I just breathe?
- You draw, breathe in, and out.
It'll blow you away.
Oh, that's not nice.
Drag, you'll get used to it.
It's true.
Ah, it burns!
Here.
And you can just smoke that easily?
- Yeah.
It's not for kids.
What do you do all day?
I chill on the
beach with my mate.
My dad and my brother go
jet-skiing and sailing.
Jet-skiing?
- Yeah, it's a standing-up one.
You can do tricks. He
doesn't, but it's cool.
There's a sit-down one too.
Where do you hire them?
- We don't.
Oh, they're his own?
- Yeah.
You don't want to be hiring, eh?
Such a pain.
How does he transport his jet skis?
- A trailer.
Right, yeah.
You've never jet-skied?
- Yeah, my dad has one too.
Nice.
What does your dad do?
In a firm, he's CEO of
something in Africa.
I don't care, like.
- Daddy's boy!
Yeah, no.
- A little bit.
Just having jet skis and big cars
doesn't make me a daddy's boy.
You don't work for
stuff. You just ask.
Why? Do you work? Man,
come on! You're 16.
Our job's to chill!
- Yeah...
We're here to enjoy life!
Not to work from a young age.
We're not in the mines now.
Yeah, my dad too, he's in...
- Oh yeah, in what?
In banking. He's the
leader of a bank.
Leader?
- Yeah.
Never heard it called that.
- What would you say?
I don't know, CEO, boss.
- Leader?
He manages his workers.
- His workers, right...
So, what you buying?
- The joint?
You buying it or not?
- No, no, I've no money on me, sorry.
You'll pay for the joint, eh?
That? Dude, I had two drags max!
Not like I took your package.
So? You drag, you pay. Simple.
You serious?
- Yep.
No joke. You're paying.
I'm sorry. I'll pay you
tomorrow. I didn't know.
No, today. I might
not see you again.
Bro, I don't have
any money on me.
Your dad's a CEO.
You've got cash.
Your dad's a CEO and
you wear those shoes?
Liar, I bet there's
dosh in here.
You're the liar. With
that phone? Those shoes?
Leave my bag alone!
Fuck's sake, man!
Everything's in that bag.
No.
When you start getting a
salary, you'll want more.
You'll want more, for sure.
You'll have to look after
your brother, pay bills, etc.
So you study again. How
do you pay the rent?
I don't know. We'll see.
- No. Why?
Kick the can down the road.
Later, OK, later, later. But
your future is built now.
This choice now is how you build
it. How will you pay your rent?
I'll work weekends.
- You'll work... you'll work weekends.
What's your brother doing,
meanwhile? Taking it easy.
I really don't know
what you're thinking.
You can't manage yourself,
let alone him too.
I'm not being mean,
but you're still a kid.
What do you mean, still a kid?
How would you live alone?
I've been taking care
of me and him for years.
Because we don't have a mother.
- You never tell me about it.
I get it, OK.
You need to look
after your brother.
You want to take your
life in your own hands.
You want to be a maid for
the rest of your life?
A maid is nothing!
When I'm something,
with a big house,
done my studies, with
money... you'll have nothing.
I'm going to leave.
- You're leaving?
I wasn't telling you to leave.
After all you've just said,
you think I want to stay?
Purdey, I'm not
trying to be mean...
I'd just rather be honest.
I'm not enjoying this.
What we have, it's
not how I see...
my girlfriend.
I'm going to be at
college next year.
Hoping to meet a
middle-class girl?
Let's not get mixed
up. Did I say that?
I'll walk you home,
it's not safe.
Fuck off.
Really?
What a crazy world.
It's unbelievable.
The parents complained, but
they're from Brussels...
He did that for no reason?
- I don't know.
I think he wanted to steal his
bag or something like that.
Some arsehole thing. So the kid
thought he was going to die.
He came home in tears,
shaking and all.
Can you imagine?
Is this arsehole from round here?
- According to the kid, yeah.
Do that to my kids, I'll find
you and put you under the water!
I mean yeah.
Alright, Purdey?
Here we are. This is the studio.
It's a nice space, very bright.
It's south-facing,
gets the sun all day.
How big is it?
- It's 35 m2, with the bathroom.
Come in, come in. Have a look.
It's furnished, so
everything here is staying.
Everything's here: fully equipped
kitchen, induction hob, microwave.
There's even a cooker
hood. In the kitchen.
In terms of furniture,
there's a sofa.
And in fact it folds
out into a sofa-bed.
So this space actually
turns into a bedroom.
OK.
- So, there we are.
And you are looking
for yourself?
It's for me and
my little brother.
Your brother.
- Yes.
Without being rude,
how old are you?
I'll be 18 in a few days.
Are you in work?
- At Golden Lake.
I'm a cleaner. I've a completed
student contract there.
I'm about to sign a part-time contract.
- OK.
I asked because...
the rent for this
place is 500 euros,
with the furniture,
the white goods.
Then there's also 100
euros for utilities.
For the oil-fired
boiler and the water.
We do have lots of
other properties.
Not always as smart as
this one, unfurnished.
A little smaller maybe, but
that might suit you better.
Are you registered on our website?
- Yes.
Good. You'll get notifications.
You can apply for this flat, but
there have been a lot of viewings.
I have 4 more
viewings this week.
So there's competition, right?
- Yeah...
Alright?
- Alright, yes.
Fuck.
Mum?
Get up.
I need a wee.
I need a wee.
Wait.
Drink this.
A bit more, you hardly had any.
Where are you?
Just like that.
Mum came home.
Not good.
I had to put her to bed.
As she came back... not well.
No.
When will you be home?
So I'll be on my own?
Come and eat, it's ready.
Coming.
Can you bring the
ladle? I forgot.
Thanks.
Here we go.
Is that enough?
- Yeah.
Where you are, can I stand up?
- Yep, you can.
Why are you coming to me?
- It's OK, come close!
No, I can't stand up, quick!
Hold me.
What are you doing? Stop!
- Wait.
Wait, let me get close to you.
You can stand up!
I'm just doing a wee...
- Stop it, fuck's sake!
You piss me off.
Think you're funny? Did you pee?
Yes.
- You're a shitbag.
Not so funny as the victim, eh?
Whatever. I'm off for a swim.
- Take some pee.
Did you really piss?
- Open your mouth!
Yes, I did.
- I'm getting out.
Go on then! At
least it's warmer!
Eat your meat.
Look.
You're disgusting.
I'm eating here!
What's wrong with you?
You don't like it?
I don't want to go home.
Me neither.
