The Happiest Girl in the World Page #2

Synopsis: Delia, a young Romanian girl, comes to Bucharest with her parents to collect a prize she has won in a contest organized by a soft-drinks company. The prize is a beautiful new car. All Delia has to do now is appear in front of the camera in a commercial. All goes well until it becomes clear that Delia and her parents have very different ideas about what to do with the new car. Meanwhile, the contest's sponsor needs a radiant prize-winner with a gleaming smile. A wicked satire and a psychological portrait of a society perverted by its slavery to capitalism and consumerism.

sent one thousand.

- But I heard it was a fix.

- I don't know...

A fix. Some arrangement...

I don't know.

Easy, easy... Sit on the chair.

Don't leave the door open... the cold

air gets out. There's a heatwave.

Sit over there, if you want.

She washed her hair this morning

and I arranged it a bit.

You'll like it.

She'll look gorgeous.

Look, honey, Mr. Arvunescu

gave me this. Your lines.

There's not much.

It's not what they sent me.

He told me just now

to give it to you.

Leave her,

she'll have lots of time later.

Then I'll go see

if anything needs doing.

I don't want to be in your way.

Be still, doll,

you'll have plenty of time later.

Who do you think

is the owner of this gorgeous car?

Mr. Manea Constantin from Calarasi,

which means... it's mine.

And... stop! Thanks, great!

A bit livelier.

"Which means... it's mine"...

You've just won a car.

- Okay...

- And drink faster.

When you say "it's mine" you

already have your hand on the bottle.

Let's go! We can do it.

Let's introduce you to the agency.

- Okay.

- Roll camera...

Miss Delia Fratila.

We need your approval

for the make-up and the clothes.

Adrian Mihai, brand manager for apple,

orange juice and stewed fruits.

- Congratulations.

- The ladies are from the agency.

This gentleman is the client.

He came up with the competition.

Not me, our company.

I didn't do it all by myself...

But this is the most rewarding

part of the job.

- Which part?

- Helping people in need. Really.

Hadn't noticed

you were such a philanthropist.

Careful you don't see my

misanthropic side.

I think it's okay.

Both hair and clothes, I mean.

Can you turn to your left,

to see your profile?

The other way.

And now, turn to us.

And now smile.

Not like this, wider, heartfelt.

She's fine and we agreed

we don't need a model.

That's why we use normal people

and spend money on testimonials.

Yeah, she's okay.

Thanks, sweetie.

The only thing I don't like

is the crappy sandals.

- They won't be seen.

- That's okay then.

- You can go.

- Thank you very much.

We'll use her as she is now.

We're not ready yet... If you want

some tea or some mineral water...

- It's there.

- Thank you. You want something?

- No.

- We don't need anything.

Then you can go sit

in the makeup trailer.

- At the back?

- It's cooler, it's air conditioned.

- Thank you. Want to go there?

- Yeah.

They're so pretty...

God knows what these cost.

One of these pink or blue boxes alone

must cost 2-3 hundred thousand.

Tired?

Try and sleep a little.

Lack of sleep damages the brain.

Yeah...

What are you looking at?

It's pretty...

- What?

- The car. It's beautiful, it's big.

- Great! I'm glad you like it.
