Little black spiders Page #2

Synopsis: Belgium, 1978. Katja, Roxy, and a group of other lively girls are too young for love, but still they are almost mothers. In a hidden location, pregnant teenage girls await the birth of their babies in secret. Some want to put their mistake behind them as soon as possible, but Katja, herself an orphan, clearly wants something different: she longs to have her own little baby. During the long wait, the girls share each others joys and sorrows. They form close friendships and distract themselves with strange games, until the bubble bursts, and Katja becomes painfully aware of the plans that the nuns are making behind their backs. She is not going to let this happen to her baby, however... Little Black Spiders is a story about the beauty and strength of unexpected friendships.

Do you like this?

Hey, Clara, turn that music down!

Come on, Cecilia...

What are you reading?

It belongs to my Greek teacher.

- Pregnant by a married man.

- What's up with that old guy?

Old men are filthy.

They smell like death.

That's so not true.

It was very beautiful.

Yeah, it always is in the beginning.

- That's a sex book!

- What sex book?

We were doing a play about

the goddesses on Olympus.

It's about sex with animals.

No, that's not true...

'Dedalus, made a wooden cow that

was hollow, and helped Pasiphae.

Her legs fitted perfectly

into the hind legs.

Soon, the rutting bull came...

...and mounted Pasiphae

enthusiastically...

...with his huge member...'

'After 9 months, she bore a monster...

...with the head of a bull and

a human body:
the Minotaur.'

But Katja, that's a perfect story to play

here. It's almost about Mia.

I like it. I'm in!

- Yes, me too.

- To do Katja's play.

- We can, can't we?

- Please, Cecilia.

I'm sure that's allowed.

But everyone has to participate.

Where will we get the bull?

There you are! It's perfect.

Yes, and the woods are our labyrinth.

- Yeah.

- And I'll play the lead role.

Why you?

It makes perfect sense.

- Why does it?

- Because I'm the best.

But come on,

you don't honestly believe that?

- I took Greek.

- What's that got to do with it?

- Everything.

- It's more a role for Roxanne.

It might be a good role for me,

but it's definitely not for you.

- Why do you think you can do it better?

- At least I have charisma.

You have absolutely no charisma.

I have talent and stage presence!

- I actually also want to...

- Look at you.

- No personality at all.

- I really want to...

No need for discussion.

I'm playing the lead role.

You're just spoiled.

- Just because I am the best.

- It's always you.

I want to do it with the bull too.

I can do it!

Yes, Clara will play the lead role.

Yes, Clara will play the lead role.

Good idea.

But what do I have to do?

I'll do anything.

We know you will, Clara.

- Simone?

- She's over there.

Excuse me, ma'am.

- Yes.

Those pregnant girls?

Do they live here?

Pregnant girls?

- In the attic.

- In our attic?

It's been empty for years.

For as long as I've been working here.

Who are you?

Never mind. Thank you.

How long is this going to take?

A very long time.

Goddesses live forever.

- Could you draw me without the belly?

- That's what's so beautiful.

- You think?

- Yes, stand up and say your lines...

O noble fruit.

Equal to the gods.

My tongue stiffens.

Fire!

An all-consuming fire

rages through my flesh.

It seems.

- Don't do that.

- So what!

- That's really...

- Improper?

Yes.

You're the weird one.
