The Happiest Girl in the World Page #5

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.

life isn't all fun and games.

- Hello.

- Who let you into my trailer?

Mr. Arvunescu told us to wait here

because it's cool. Sorry.

I'm sorry, but

I have some work to do

for about ten minutes.

Sorry, but there's nothing I can do.

God forbid! I'm leaving.

If you like, you can come back later.

Sit down and I'll redo

your makeup, since you're here.

So... she stays...

It's not nice to treat us this way.

We'll both be dead someday

and you'll regret all these fights.

- Right, you'll go straight to hell.

- What are you so angry about?

You said you wouldn't meddle.

So don't.

Sit around and knit or something.

It's a variation

of what we did with the other guy.

You come through the orchard,

push the branch aside like Mowgli

and you go, go...

stop here at the car,

you open the door

and you sit at the wheel.

That's the first shot.

What I want from you is...

Bombardel, give her a bottle.

What I want from you is

to hold the juice bottle

so we can see the name.

- And try to look happy. Understood?

- Yeah.

- Are these your clothes?

- Yeah.

- Did no one tell you not to wear blue?

- No.

- Lulica!

- At your service!

Why didn't you tell her

not to come dressed in blue?

Well, I didn't know whether

the screen would be blue or green.

I got it this morning from Fritz.

Then you should have told her

not to come dressed in blue or green.

- Simple as that!

- Look at her!

How can the guys key her?

Or you do postproduction too?

- No...

- Don't f***ing annoy me.

I came to shoot this sh*t

because the agency asked me to.

So don't annoy me

with your crappy production.

F***in' Burundi. Lesotho!

It's hot anyway. Take it off.

I'm sorry, I'd have worn something

else if I'd known...

Don't worry.

- It's not you, it's these morons.

- You can't put blue on blue.

Yeah, it's ugly...

You know, they'll lay

a big orange orchard over this screen

and they'll take the blue out

in postproduction.

It'll be a big orchard and it'll look

like you're walking out of it.

Honey, give it to me,

I'll keep it for you.

- No need to.

- Give it to me, don't embarrass us.

Careful nothing drops

out of the pockets.

Don't worry.

I'm perfuming the place.

Let's rehearse.

Shoot it right away,

we're f***in' late already.

Great.

We'll shoot it right away.

- Are we ready?

- M.O.S.

What are you doing?

F*** off with that board,

this one's without sound.

Roll camera!

- Rolling!

- Action!

Cut!

Fantastisch. Ja ja.

Can you walk a tad faster.

Bombardel, give her the bottle.

Roll camera!

Rolling...

Action.

Cut!

I like it.

- That's not okay.

- Why?

She shouldn't walk like a zombie,

she should look happy and

while she walks
