Water Lilies Page #2

Synopsis: Three girls, each about 15, deal with puberty, the onset of sexual attraction, and, for two, the pressure of virginity. Marie, who's slight and diffident, quiet and nearly expressionless, is friends with Anne, who's a bit chunky and impulsive and has decided that François will be her first love. Watching synchronized swimming, Marie is suddenly attracted to the team captain, Floriane, beautiful, aloof, tall, and rumored to be a slut. François pursues her. Marie begins to hang around her; they trade favors, and soon it's an odd sort of friendship. Each of the three experiences her own first, and Marie must sort out attraction and friendship.

-On my face, apparently. Ok.

I he finds out I'm not a slut,

it's over

Go horseback riding.

That's what you do if you want

a miscarriage.

I'll look for an older guy

who doesn't know me.

Where are you going to find him?

I don't know.

In a club.

That's horrible.

It'll be over in 10 minutes.

You could go with me.

To see you hitting on an old man?

You look good when you wear

your hair like this.

I'm out of here.

My friend's gotta hurry,

her father is waiting.

What?

-Yeah, her dad.

He was afraid that we would be

picked up by dirty old men.

Bye, daddy.

Thank you.

That stupid a**hole was a horrible kisser.

Wait.

I want to ask you something...

It's not a normal question.

-What does that matter.

I want it to be you, Marie.

I'd like you...

to be my first one.

That you will do it for me,

and release me from it.

Then, it will be real.

I can't do that.

Please, Marie.

This one is nice.

And this one?

-Not bad.

Cover me.

-You're by yourself in this one.

Hello.

Can I help you?

I also have some other models.

Goodbye.

It's like in "Peau d'Ane".

It has a horse that shits diamonds.

That nearly went wrong.

I almost swallowed it.

You walk strangely.

It's my new jeans,

they are a bit tight.

Hi.

I would like a Happy Meal.

How old are you?

-Fifteen.

You are too old.

-That's stupid. It's what I want.

It's for children.

-Never mind.

But this is ridiculous.

You also need ID now to buy

a cheap hamburger?

Let's go.

-No, I want the little toy.

It's a spyglass.

Super.

I can see your pores.

Fantastic.

Are you coming to the swimmingpool later on?

-No.

You always say that, but you'll still be there.

We don't have to do everything together.

-But neither everything apart.

I've had enough of your childish behaviour.

Says she; the little girl without breasts.

You've had breasts since primary school.

But they're not real.

It's all fat.

You're mean.

I've had enough.

I'm fed up with you.

Ok, guys.

Out.

Look what he gave me.

Will you put on?

I don't believe in this stuff anymore.

Do you?

No.

I'm in trouble.

He wants to see me tonight.

My parents are out.

I'll do it.

What you asked me.

Wait.

I have to go.

Thank you for everything, Marie.

Hello.

-Hi.

Thanks for the necklace.

-You're welcome.

Are you alone?

Can I come in?

We must not split up, Marie.

I do crazy stuff when I'm alone.

Are you going to the swimparty tonight?

No.

Please come.

Stay with me.

No.

I have to go.

Franois is also going.

Stop daydreaming.

He is with her.

They did it last night.

Did not.

-Yes they did.

Let it sink in.

Forget about those stupid princessdreams.

It is not true.

-Yes, it is.

He told me.

Céline Sciamma

Céline Sciamma (born 12 November 1978) is a French screenwriter and film director. Sciamma's work is strikingly minimalist, partly the legacy of her mentor, Xavier Beauvois, who advised her while she was a student at the major French film school, La Fémis. While highly formalist and idiosyncratic (notably in her lack of dialogue and very stylized mise-en-scene), Sciamma's filmmaking, beginning with Water Lilies relates closely to the characteristics of first-time filmmaking in France, notably in its emphasis on coming-of-age films focused on adolescents or pre-adolescents. Sciamma is very interested, moreover, in the fluidity of gender and sexual identity among girls during this formative period. more…
