- Well, it's easy.
There is a boy and a girl.
They charm each other, you've got all the fuss about seduction, and they eventually kiss.
But the guy doesn't seem very enthusiastic.
Nothing happens, as he didn't care.
Yet deep down, he really feels something for the girl.
It's complicated as you see.
The day they decide to make love, same thing,...
... the guy doesn't seem to care.
He doesn't feel anything.
But they're sincerely in love.
It's just that he isn't attracted physically.
A bit later, he suggests to the girl to sleep with his best mate.
So she can at least have sex, for the hygiene.
That way, he can prove that he loves her, and show his true feelings.
It's noble, no?.
Of course it perturbs the girl...
... but she finally thinks that it's a good idea.
And above all, she finds this proposal brilliant, unexpected.
She accepts and sleeps with the mate of his boyfriend.
In short, the girl eventually clears off and leaves his boyfriend.
Do you realize?.
Isn't it rotten?.
The guy ends up alone even though he did everything to prove her his love.
- It's crap.
- OK.
- Well...
It's a gay couple.
They're happy, everything's fine.
But it's a bit lousy because there's one who doesn't speak anymore to his parents...
...because of his homosexuality.
One day he receives a call from his mum.
His dad just died.
He's shaken even though they hadn't spoken for ages.
And many things hadn't been settled.
So his mother proposes to meet with his boyfriend,...
... to eventually find out who shares her son's life.
They go to the restaurant.
They chat, they drink, they argue, they cry...
Well, they crash the car on the way home just after they had made peace.
The boyfriend is killed, the mother is in coma...
... and he's messed up but eventually pulls through.
Then one day, the mother awakes.
Everybody's speechless, the doctors first.
And you know what happens a few hours later?
Listen...
The guy realizes that she's not his mother, but his boyfriend.
A body transfer: his mother's body but with his boyfriend inside.
That's life.
They finally decide to go beyond appearances and keep on loving each other.
But it's hard, they're judged.
Because of the age difference...
... and also because the family thinks...
... the son is going out with the mother and the mother is going out with the son.
But their love is stronger.
They cannot do anything against that.
That's it...
Personally I like it very much.
An obvious *** mixed with true love.
It raises many taboos.
I like it.
What do you think? Not bad for a beginning?
- Yeah, that's not bad.
But it needs a good title.
What's the mother's name?
- So, what do you think?
Barbara Broadcast.
- It clicks like a pair of balls on the edge of a bottom.
- I find it quite good.
- It sounds like a 70's *** movie.
- It's a 70's ***, but who cares, nobody saw it.
- I don't like it. We have to find something else.
- It's hopeless.
- Forget it.
Come here and tell me something more interesting.
Everybody wonders about this kind of matter!
Don't tell me you never imagined your mates having sex?.
We all do.
It would be about the intimacy of couples,...
... at the *** level.
- So what?
You have a guy who doesn't stop talking about sex and who's a *** in bed...
... and another who looks uptight but who's a real beast.
We've seen this a thousand times.
Your ideas suck. Are you genetically affected?
- What about your stupid love affairs with some guys who sleep...
... with their mother because they're ***?
- So what? I talk about appearances and the social pressure.
And you break my balls with your couples that we see ***...
... and your racing cyclists we see taking a ***.
I'd rather talk about my sister.
- ... but there's no punch line with this story. What's the point?
- It's like Agatha Christie.
Everybody is guilty of killing the mother:...
... the son, the daughter, the husband, the gardener.
Knifed four times, four murderers. Very simple.
- But why do you always want violent endings?
- Because we need a punch line for a short story, or else what?
- Why violent?
- Let's be cynical.
What's important is the end.
If the beginning sucks it doesn't matter if people remember about the end, no?
- No.
- OK, let's do a thing with no ending then.
- It's an ordinary...
... man.
He says to his friends that he's in love with Scarlett Johansson.
His mates tell him that if he wants to meet her, it's possible.
He just needs to move his *** and find her.
- You annoy me.
- OK, let's do a thing with kiwis.
It would be called "Julian eats some kiwis."
Or it's a girl who says: "I'd rather be a boathouse,...
... or an orange peeling in a boathouse."
A sci-fi thing.
What do you think?.
You're getting on my nerves.
We've got to find something because I'm fed up to be here.
So?
- Nothing.
I can't do it neither.
- Forget it.
We won't manage it that way, it sucks!
- Stop bugging me!
If you don't let me develop it, how can I manage to do it?
- It won't work. I'm not listening anymore, it's all your fault.
It's really mediocre.
We need to find something that cat-ches on.
- Let's talk about the Jewish and the Arabians.
It's fashionable.
These two words sound like an epic.
Or we talk about the USA. Anti-Bush or not anti-Bush.
We can come up with a story.
Or we talk about your sister who eats kiwis with Scarlett Johansson...
... while talking about his brother who lives in his mother.
- Oh sorry, excuse me!
- Did you see what I've just seen?
- Dumb-***, why didn't you say anything?
- And why didn't you do anything?
- I don't know this guy.
- Neither do I.
- "The man is an animal with a trilby hat...
... that waits for the bus 27 at the corner of Ice street."
It's Allexandre Vialatte, isn't it great?
- Yeah, fantastic.
- That's what we're forced to do.
We wait for the bus to arrive in Ice street,...
... like idiots, with trilby hats.
Why don't we talk about the derisory side of life?
- Because it's boring and that nobody gives a ***.
- That's not true.
- Come on!
The people who care already know it, and the people who don't know it, they don't care.
That's simple.
- Did you cut your hair?
- Shut up!
- I've got it! We're saved!
It's the story of Jérémy and Arnaud, two guys who don't do a damn thing...
... except telling each other stories.
- What nonsense.
- Wait,...
The guys are in an attic.
They chat like kids, telling each other stupid stories.
They know each other so well that they don't hesitate to tease and criticize each other.
They eventually have an argument.
There's one who wants to clear off.
Then, he realizes that's it's impossible to leave the attic.
It's like he had a will disease.
He is incapable of putting his hand on the door handle and opening it. Impossible.
It's completely crazy.
- "The Exterminating Angel, Buñuel, Surrealism."
- You didn't get it!
It's a kind of weird suspense with two guys locked up by an unknown force.
And the days go by, without any possibility to call someone from the outside.
- Come on, everybody's got a cell phone!
- Do you have a cell phone?
- No.
- So, you shut your mouth and you let me finish.
The days go by and strangely they don't feel neither hunger, nor thirst.
It's insane...
... because they cannot get out...
... but they don't suffer from it.
Then, one of them discovers that if they're stuck...
... it's maybe because they were telling each other stories...
... and that the solution lies maybe in one of the stories.
So they don't stop telling each other things, but nothing changes.
They're driven crazy and retreat into silence.
There's one who spends the days sleeping...
... while the other tries hard to find a solution.
And it's during a search in an attic's drawer that hope is revived.
He lays his hands on a cartridge box...
... and realizes that it corresponds to the rifle on the wall.
So he wakes up his mate and tells him the story.
They stand in front of the door,...
...h e wants to shoot, but it's imposible.
Once again he's victim of this will disease.
So mad with rage, he turns to his mate, aims at him and blows his brains out.
And then, the attic's door opens,...
... slowly.
- Yeah...
It's not bad, it ends with blood.
It's not so bad after all.
- Do you manage to read something?
- No, it's upside down.
- Are they stupid or what?
- It's like that. Shut up.
- Do you think they liked it?
- I don't think so.
- Well, they got bored to death.
- In my opinion, yes.
- Do you think it's going to work?
- I don't know.
In my opinion, yes.
