Happy Page #3

Synopsis: Florent, a 23 year-old Parisian, meets Alessia, a lost American girl from Texas in the streets of Paris, by random chance. At an important crossroad of their lives - both characters have just graduated from college - Alessia and Florent are torn between the possibilities that lie before them in today's globalised world and the limitations and responsibilities which come with adulthood in the face of global economic turmoil. Florent dreams of America; Alessia dreams of France, her mother's unfulfilled wish. Through their interaction with Marion and Louis, Florent's best friends, Coralie, his ex-girlfriend, and Thomas, a waiter they meet in Normandy, our characters learn about the world they live in. A world that brings them much questioning. A world of their generation.

And, there's a category for

everything.

Like if I say occupy wallstreet

then

I'm a communist lesbian, like

you said.

Like, people are robots.

If you're Black or gay or Asian

or Jewish or rich or poor

than you should behave

like this or like that.

But, what if you don't

fit into their categories,

their tiny little boxes?

And, what if you don't want Sam

or Joe

at Starbucks to ask you a

thousand times,

"How are you doing today,

ma'am?"

'Cause you're pissed as f***.

You're having a shitty day.

In Texas, they're like, "oh

hey, come around over here,

"Cynthia can help you.

"Cynthia can you check her out,

please?

"Can you run her up?"

- I guess the grass is

always greener, huh?

- I love it.

Are the French immune to lung

cancer?

I see French people drinking all

the time.

- [Florent] Yeah.

- But, like only the

homeless people get drunk.

Starbucks coffee sucks.

(people talking)

Ew.

Sand.

- [Voiceover] Want some wine,

you want?

You want some wine?

- Please.

Thank you.

Cheers.

Cheers.

- [Florent] Can you

pass the bread, please?

Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you

but Marion doesn't speak English

at all.

- Of course, I can speak

English.

- You're sounding fine to me.

- What did she say?

- [Florent] See, told you.

- So, where are we?

- In Deauville.

And, you know what.

This is the place where they

wrote (speaking French).

- [Florent] You know where the

Americans

landed during World War

II, like I told you before.

- Right here?

- No.

- [Florent] No, it's close to

here.

There's a memorial.

If you want, we can go, it's

pretty nice.

I can take you.

- [Alessia] Wow, I'd love to see

that.

- What are you doing?

What are you doing?

- [Florent] Yeah, she

does that all the time.

- No, no, wait, wait, stop,

stop, stop.

What are you doing?

No, please stop.

- Come on, you're beautiful.

- [Marion] No, I'm not beautiful

at all.

I will be very, very beautiful

with this.

- [Florent] Very beautiful,

- [Alessia] Yes.

Not sure.

- I love the lipstick.

Very glamorous.

- Let me get ready.

(laughing)

What?

- Get ready.

What?

- [Marion] God.

- Very glamorous.

- [Marion] Yeah?

- Yeah.

Wow.

Yeah, come on.

- Cheese.

Show me a picture.

I want to see one.

Just show me one.

- No.

- [Woman] I just want to see.

- [Alessia] No.

Why no, it's me, you have to.

You have to.

- [Alessia] No.

Show me just one.

- No, seriously.

- [Florent] Hey, where you

going?

- I'm just gonna go for a walk.

- [Florent] Should I come with

you?

- [Alessia] No, it's okay.

I'm just gonna walk around a

little bit.

- [Florent] Walk around?

- Yeah, like, take some

pictures.

You guys catch up.
