Respire Page #3

Synopsis: This film deals with a situation where a fellow student fainted at the presentation of her semester work during a critique session. She fell on her own sculpture that dealt with the method of criticism. What were the preconditions that the framework of the institutional reality were disrupted at once? How did each one behave and how is the event remembered? The text layer encircles the recalled situation, recounts, parallelizes and contrasts the different versions. The dialogues or rather monologues do not come from the psychology of the characters, but represent positions of the witnesses. The cinematic dispositive gradually reveals the reconstructed spatial situation of the event.

We started but it hurt too much.

I started blubbering

like an idiot.

And you never tried again?

No.

The worst thing is no one knows.

Not even Victoire.

Yeah, but the first time

is sort of painful for everyone.

It's only natural.

Don't worry.

I'm sure you'll do it again

and it'll be great!

What's that noise?

What was that?

It's coming back!

Like you showed me?

Sh*t!

I'm spilling it.

Hold it like that.

Hold it with two fingers.

Charlie?

Hi!

F***!

I'm Paul.

Remember?

Yeah.

It's been ages!

Hello.

Paul, this is Sarah,

my classmate.

Paul...

has a plane.

His dad makes great crpes.

Still got your plane?

Yeah.

Coming for drinks later?

Yeah.

I'm so embarrassed.

I was naked!

I spilled it all.

Oh, f***!

To you, I'm a classmate?

What should I have said?

There's no rule.

Say what you like.

I'd have said

you were my friend.

There's none left.

Start again.

Here.

Why am I asking you?

Give it to me.

Crumble the hash!

Do something!

Don't just sit there.

The hash! A little black chunk.

Not hard to find.

There!

Pass the wine.

- You kids are drinking too much.

- No!

- Me, too! Fill it up.

- Me, too!

It's empty!

You've got something there.

What is it?

- Si.

- Si.

- Wine from before.

- How do you say that?

Didn't understand a word.

How we talked!

- About what? Who?

- With Estaban!

I'm drunk!

I'm plastered.

Completely plastered.

Hey, Estaban!

I love your little dress.

My heart is broken...

F***!

Take it literally!

I've had it...

- Here's a small piece.

- Thanks.

Marie, some coffee cake?

I have some.

I don't know.

It's peach-verbena.

- Marie made it.

- Peach-verbena.

It's really good.

Chocolate?

Think Esteban and Vanessa

were making jam all night?

Very funny!

Okay, no more jokes!

Hi.

Hi.

Hi, my beauty.

You look hungry.

Morning!

You bilingual now?

Almost!

Tutti va bene.

- That's Italian!

- So?

Trilingual!

Minimum!

She's calm.

Everything okay?

Why wouldn't it be?

I looked for you everywhere.

Well, we're here.

I offered to take Sarah

out in the plane.

Wanna come?

No, I'm okay.

She doesn't want to.

Let's go!

Tess!

Here, girl!

Be careful.

- You okay?

- Yeah.

Come on, Tess!

Wanna try?

Like that?

What's the matter?

Nothing.

Good morning!

Looking for something?

There's no microwave?

No.

Shall I boil some water?

No, no big deal.

Know where Sarah is?

She went to the market

with your mother.

Don't let it bug you.

Sarah's not so amazing.

Why do they let

all this sh*t pile up?

They should just

throw it all out!

Thanks, Sarah!

What's Charlie doing there?

What are you doing

all alone, honey?

You're not jealous, are you?

I really do like him.

But that's it!
