American Translation Page #2

Synopsis: A sexually ambiguous Frenchman tours his native countryside with his naive American lover in pursuit of the ultimate thrill. From the moment they meet, brooding Chris and the beautiful Aurore fall instantly and passionately in love but it s not long before their intense connection is consumed by Chris s dark obsession with gay men. Before long, the pair embarks on a violent and sexual journey filled with seduction and destruction of young gay hustlers. Hard-hitting, intensely sexy and wildly controversial, American Translation is a twisted Bonnie and Clyde for a new generation.

You like it?

Yeah.

There's internet in the apartment.

I know.

But I have my habits.

See you next Thursday.

Yeah, see you Thursday.

How much did you give her?

Her work is worth it.

- It's not the rate.

- F*** the rules.

Who should decide the price of work?

Paying our cleaning lady executive

rates is my business.

I need some fresh air.

- You know him?

- No.

- He looks like a prostitute.

- That's exactly what he is.

- He looks young.

- He's 8.

That's what they all say.

Wait here.

This is Steve, Steven.

We're having lunch.

- What do you usually eat?

- Junk, muesli bars.

Healthy food is good for you.

Let's go for a walk in the woods.

- You sure?

- I'll pay you for the time.

OK cool.

Your generosity again?

We're engaged, we're

getting married soon.

This is one of my favorite spots.

There's never a soul on weekdays.

I want to give Steve a cuddle.

You're the one who counts, baby.

With you, I never cheat.

I don't like him.

I don't like him either.

What the hell happened?

What the hell happened, Chris?

Did you fight?

He wanted me to choke him...

you know, while...

I didn't judge it right.

It was an accident, huh?

Right, it was an accident?

Wanna get out of here?

To go where?

Where I come from. Where I was born.

In the North, near Lille.

Why not, yeah.

I love you so much, baby.

It wasn't an accident, right?

Don't talk about that.

Don't mention it again.

Something deep connects us.

That's the only thing that matters.

Christopher!

What do you want now?

You always show up with no warning.

Aurore, the love of my life.

We'd like you to marry us.

A symbolic act.

What's the hesitation?

You can't refuse me anything.

Christophe,

do you take Aurore for your wife,

and promise to remain faithful to her,

in happiness and in hard times,

in sickness and in health,

and love her all the days

of your life?

I do.

Aurore,

do you take Christopher

as your husband,

and promise to remain faithful to him

in happiness and in hard times,

in sickness and in health,

and love him all the

days of your life?

I do.

He gave me pocket money in my teens.

We had a lot of fun together.

I feel sorry for that priest.

We're empty.

- You didn't see the sign?

- No.

I can't read anyway.

And your girlfriend can't read?

She's my wife, and she's not French.

- What's your name?

- Alexandre.

No, thanks.

If the boss sees me smoke...

- Your boss is an a**hole?

- He's a boss.

I'm still on trial.

To get work round here,

you really gotta toe the line.

You like cars?

Yeah but now we only get old wrecks

to fix.

Like the boss says,

we're not magicians.

People don't have money

to buy new cars.
