Monday, July 2nd

Street, EXTERIOR, DAY
A building of square stone, surrounded by greenery, and the street in front of the building is full of traffic.

Office, interior scene, during the day,
the office is full of modern office equipment, with papers, files, work lamps and so on on the table. There were two female secretaries, a young woman in a rose-colored shirt named Sylvie, and she was holding a booklet—probably a travel agency's guidebook or something. The other turned towards her, and the two were chatting. However, their conversation could not be heard clearly.
Sylvie: Don't you think it's too hot right now?
Another female secretary: You mean August?
Sylvie: Yes.
Another female secretary: Oh, no! Tolerable, it's nothing compared to Cairo... (Sylvie puts down the pamphlet in his hand) No, I mean, you just need to call me two or three weeks in advance, as long as... the
phone rings Interrupting their conversation, she picked up the receiver and Sylvie turned to type.
Another female secretary: Hello! ...Hello...here, please wait, (she turns and exclaims) Delphine, I'm looking for you!
Delphine (voice-over): Here we go!
The third young girl to appear is Delphine, who wears a short blue-pigmented floral skirt with a cardigan tied around her waist. The female secretary who was typing pulled the letter out of the typewriter's reels and continued chatting with the other female secretary.
Delphine (to another female secretary): Thank you! (then picks up receiver) Hey! ...ah, hello! how is everything? Oh great! Are you happy? ...well, it's more convenient for all three...what do you want to say to me? ... No, but you won't take me there, will you? No, oh! ...No, but I'm having a hard time taking two weeks off! ...what do you want me to do? ... it's true... no, I think it's too hard. Sorry, okay, goodbye (hang up).

STREET , EXTERIOR, DAY
Delphine walks down the street with her bag on her back. Delphine was among a group of pedestrians waiting to cross at the intersection. After crossing the road, she continued to walk along the street. The buildings on the side of the street were tall and straight, completely different from the office building just now. The painting was frozen here, and there was a noise from the street outside.

Tuesday 3 July

Museo Galliara, exterior,
park in front of the museum during daytime. Outside the painting, there is the sound of birdsong and the hustle and bustle of the Wulu Road in the distance.
A girl sits on a stone chair and reads a book, wearing red shoes, a rose-colored skirt and a sleeveless white top. She was short, brown, and slightly fat, and her name was Manula.
A strange girl in black jeans and a rose-colored T-shirt was lying on another stone chair next to her.
There was a woman on another stone chair, with her bag on her side, her legs stretched out, and she was basking in the sun.
A wooden bench in a park on which two men and a woman sit and chat.
Through the iron fence of the park you can see the street in the distance. Delphine came from the boulevard, wearing a white shirt and a red sweater. She came in through the small door, and straightened the hair that had been blown to her face by the wind. This was what she often did. She stopped and looked for something.
Manula was still sitting on the stone chair reading a book. Delphine came to her.
Delphine: Manula!
Manula: Hello! Delphine. (They kiss each other in greeting) How?
Delphine: My eyes hurt. (she looks around) Don't you want to go somewhere else? My eyes hurt, there (pointing to the shade)...
They just happened to be standing in the sun... the noise of vehicles on the road was heard outside the picture.
Manula: All right!
Delphine: Sorry. But we can go to the shade over there.
Manula picked up the bag on the stone chair, and they walked towards the shade.
A promenade in the park; there is a classical-style statue on the left; there is another in front of a large French window in the distance. Delphine sat down on the stone steps under the corner. At this time, still heard birdsong and car noise.
Manula stood reading against a post, holding a green handkerchief in one hand.
A child came running.
Manula glanced at Delphine and closed the book.
Manula: What's the matter with you, Delphine?
Said and walked towards her.
Delphine was still sitting on the stone steps under the corner.
Manuela (off-screen): Not yet?
Delphine (rubbing her eyes): Not yet.
Manula sat down next to Delphine.
Manula: What's the matter with you?
Delphine: You know, Carolina told me last night that she wasn't going on vacation with me!
Manula (looking at her, calmly): Well, what do you do then?
Delphine: Well,...I don't know either.
Manula: Are you going with someone else?
Delphine: No. I don't go with anyone else. Yes, I don't go with anyone else.
Manula: You will always find a company, though.
Delphine: From now, in two weeks? ...
the Eiffel Tower can be seen in the distance from the park; a few children are playing in the park. trees, colonnades.
Delphine (off-screen): ...you're crazy!
Manula: Two weeks, within two weeks... Of course, you'll always find someone, and within two weeks!
Delphine: Who is it? what kind of person?
Manuela (looking at Delphine): I don't know.
Delphine: All right! You go with someone else!
Manuela: I'm going with Antoine... Listen, there's a guy who definitely wants to go with you.
Delphine: Who is it?
Manuela (standing up): He suggested you go on vacation in a big house...
Delphine (laughing): Who is it?
Manula: Raoul.
She put her feet on the stone steps beside Delphine.
Delphine: Raoul? you bastard! You are dizzy! Raoul!
Manuela (with one hand on her raised lap, the other on her waist): Listen, Raoul is still pretty charming... okay! Go the two of you!
Delphine: Oh, how uncomfortable! Go on vacation alone!
Manuela (playing with a lock of Delphine's hair): Hey, you're going to meet quite a few people there.
Delphine: Where is that? No, I don't know, and you don't think about it either.
Manula brushed the dust off Delphina's shoulders and took her feet off the stone steps.
Manuela (confused): I don't know...
she went around to the other side of Delphine, came to the marble statue, and sat at the bottom of the statue.
Manuela: You can go to my grandma's house, in Spain!
Delphine: That's a good idea!
Manula: Stop laughing, listen, she has a big house by the sea. I can rent you a room.
Delphine (voice-over): In which city?
Von Noura: In a small village.
Delphine (voice-over): I have to think about it! Going to Spain alone...
Manula came to the colonnade and stopped.
Manula: You will not be alone. There are tourists everywhere.
Delphine: I'm not an adventurous person!
Manula: Exactly! Give it a try this year!
She turned towards the statue of a sturdy man picking up a plowshare from the ground.
Manuela (off-screen): Did you see this one? (She goes to the right of the statue, laughing) He must please you! He is handsome. (Statue's legs) He's a little dirty, yes, but he's so beautiful (figurine's waist and upper body)! Look at this toned calf (beat his calf with his hand)!
Manula smiled and walked to the right, book in hand.

WEDNESDAY JULY 4TH SUBURBAN TRAIN, IN

/OUT, DAY
Delphine sits in the train, looking out the window at the suburban scenery that flies by, with the Seine in the distance. The sound of running wheels.

SUBURBAN HOUSING, EXTERIOR, DAY
A house in the suburbs with a row of roses growing along the wall. There is a table in the yard. Covered with green tablecloths, four people are sitting around the table for lunch, the atmosphere is very pleasant. Among them were Delphine, Virginie, and a young man named Rene, next to him was an old man in a cap.
Virginie: Would you like orange juice? grandfather?
She ate little carrots with Delphine as she approached.
Delphine: Strange enough, isn't it?
Grandpa (off-screen): What's the matter?
Delphine: It's August, it's still like this, it's strange.
Grandpa: Yes, it's not too hot.
In front of the grandfather was a plate of lettuce, a bottle of orange juice, and several cups. He is not tall, very enthusiastic, and wears glasses.
Delphine (voice-over): You, what are you doing on vacation?
Grandpa: Me? I do nothing. I live off my pension (looking at Delphine on the left). I retired! (Off-screen laughter) Do some chores, that's what I do!
Delphine (forcing a smile): I mean, you stay in Paris and never go anywhere else?
Grandpa: Never go, never go!
He turned to the left and looked at Delphine. There was the sound of a motorbike passing by from behind the courtyard wall.
Grandpa: Before, I went out for two months and went to the Jura Mountains. I've also been to the Fossil Pass and where France meets Switzerland.
Delphine (voice-over): Are you in Paris a lot in August?
Grandpa: Oh, you know, I'm on vacation late because I'm too busy with work.
Delphine (off-screen): Ah, so...
Grandpa: I was almost sixty years old when I first saw the sea!
Delphine: Really!
The others present also laughed. Delphine is still eating baby carrots.
Grandpa: Yes, yes, yes...! Vacation! Not everyone has a share. When you're working at home alone... (Vigne is also eating carrots) I'm driving a cab. Yeah, you know, it's impossible to take a two-month vacation...
Delphine (sighs): Yeah...
Grandpa (off-screen): So, I went to someone's house on vacation , he...he lived in the country then. I take care of the animals. I tended the animals and his small vegetable garden. Me, I was there for two full months.
Rene (voice-over): Do you like mountains?
Grandpa: No, I don't like mountains.
Rene (voice-over): Why don't you like mountains?
Grandpa: Because I prefer to drive in Paris! (gestures the rugged mountain road with his hand) I'm afraid of those bumps and bumps!
Rene (voice-over): Are you a Parisian, or...
Grandpa: I'm a true Parisian!
Rene: It's really nice to be in Paris.
Grandpa (voice-over): It's really nice to be in Paris, it's so comfortable to walk around here! There's a big park...
Delphi (VO): No! There is no... no nature, no sea!
Grandpa: Nature? Yes, there is no sea. But here is the Seine, it's all the same thing.
Delphine (voice-over): Ah, that's not enough!
Grandpa: Of course enough!
Delphine (voice-over): The Seine, I think it's a bit...
Grandpa: What do you want me to do by the sea? I don't know what to do as soon as the sea water crosses my ankles, I'm afraid, I can't swim, so...
the laughter of everyone.

SUBURBAN STREET, THURSDAY, JULY 5 , EXTERNAL A deserted street lined with trees during the

day .
Delphine walked along the sidewalk, wearing a light-colored skirt that fluttered in the breeze, a sweater in her hand.

Claude and Dominic's House, Interior - Daytime
Delphine is sitting on a chair with a little girl on her lap, Latisya. Delphine put one hand on the furniture next to her, and caressed the cheek of the little girl with the other hand. The little girl was wearing a white top and a small sky blue skirt. Delphine is the same as she was wearing on the street just now. She straightened her clothes and looked to the left. A baby's cry of joy can be heard outside the picture.
Delphine: What about summer?
Claude (voice-over): Summer, um...
Claude is a man in his thirties, sitting on a couch, wearing jeans, blue sneakers, a white T-shirt. He crossed Erlang's legs and put his hands on his left leg again. His wife, Dominic, sat on the chair to his right, wearing a long white dress, a woolen cardigan, and a baby sitting on his lap—Alaric, the child was playing with an empty cup, screaming happily, screaming Sometimes it drowns out the voices of adults.
Claude: ... Sometimes it rains, but it's still quite comfortable. Anyway, we're going there because Alaric loves it. He doesn't like very hot places. We'll just go to a place where it's not too hot.
Dominic (overwhelmed by the child's cry): …There is no seat.
Delphine (off-screen): But how do you get there? where do you live?
Dominica: We live in tents.
Delphine (voice-over): Aren't you afraid of the rain there?
Dominica: If it rains, we'll go to a bed and breakfast hotel. Otherwise... no, it doesn't rain every day there! We're going in July and August, I can't tell, Isabel...she knows, she (looking to the left, Isabel is a little girl in rose bibs, white shirt, sitting on the beige sofa) is more than me Clear...it doesn't rain much there. We used to go in July and the weather was great. If you're lucky, you'll get good weather too!
The baby on Dominic's lap yelped happily and handed the empty cup to its mother. He is asking for water! There are several shelves full of books on one wall in the room. Looking out the curtained window, it was still dark.
Delphine (voice-over): So you're going to live there, just bring your tent and some necessities, right?
Dominic: Why?
Claude: Because you can set up tents anywhere over there. This is not the same as in France, where there is no camping site. Anyway, there are almost no (hands gestures to the mountains). Like going to the West Coast, there are always small pieces of wild land. It's nice to camp there.
Delphine (voice-over): Are the locals warm? They can give you...I mean, do you need to take up space when you're going to pitch your tent?
Claude: That's with the farmer's permission, unless he's not at home. Or ask someone, and then...
Delphine (V.O.): Are those people enthusiastic?
Claude: Enthusiastic, very enthusiastic, no problem.
Dominic: He knows a lot!
Claude: Yes, we have the address over there and everything else, everything.
Dominic: He knows a lot. Well, you can (Delphina takes the mug from the noisy child and pours water into it with the other hand) to this or that, there's always someone who can...
Claude: We're almost there There are people you know everywhere. And then there's Isabelle!
Dominic: And Isabel, yes!
They looked at Isabelle, who was sitting on the sofa on the left, and the little girl smiled and shook her head.
Claude (off-screen): It's not the most interesting, is it? Dublin?
Outside the picture, laughter, the little girl can't breathe, Delphine fiddles with the medallion that hangs around the little girl's neck.
Delphine: How about you? Little guy, would you like to go there and play?
Latisiya: Yes!
Delphine (tidying up the messed up necklace): Have you been to Ireland? not yet?
Latisiya: Not yet.
Delphine: Do you want to go abroad?
Latisya: No, I don't want to go.
Delphine: Yes, to a foreign country, to Ireland. I mean, Ireland is a foreign country.
She tugged at the sweater that slipped to her shoulders.
Lastia: No, I don't want to go abroad.
Delphine: But why do you like going to Ireland?
Latisiya: Because it's a beautiful country.
Delphine: How do you know it's a beautiful country?
Latisya: Because... because of Isabelle, you told me.
Delphine: Ah, Isabel told you. It's raining endlessly there, aren't you afraid?
Latisiya: Don't be afraid!
Isabel (voice-over): Hey, Delphine, why didn't you come to see us in Dublin this summer? Mom came to visit us, and Claude and Dominic also came to see us. You are the only one left at home.
Delphine put a yellow feather on little Latisya's chin to tickle it.
Delphine: I know that. But... In summer, I also say no, I want to go to a hot place and change the environment. I want to change the sun! It's not because of you. I'll be there. I will go later. Not sure when (sighs). In August, I really want to go see the sea (feather her face, Latisya takes the feather from her hand), do sea gymnastics, get a tan, all of this, eh, little one?
She stroked the little girl's hair.
Latisiya: Yes.
Delphine: If you like it, all the better! But I want to say, I...
Latisya: Yes, I like Ireland.
Delphine: Do you want to go there?
Latisiya: I want to go.
Delphine: Well, one day I'll go too...but...not right away. Anyway, I have to give Jean-Pierre a call and talk about it.

STREET, EXTERIOR, DAY
Delphine walks down the sidewalk. A wool cardigan is draped over the shoulders. The noise of the car is heard outside the picture. She came to a green pole at the traffic light. She continued walking on the sidewalk, then stopped and looked down at... (Viola music, off-screen).
There was a green playing card on the ground, Delphine picked it up, turned it over, it was a queen of spades, and she put the card on the ground again.
She stroked her hair with her hand and left. Still thinking about the Q of Spades thrown on the road. Music stop.

FRIDAY JULY 6

Delphina's bedroom, IN, DAY
The bed in the bedroom is slightly messy, the building on the corner can be seen through the window, there is a pot of flowers on the window sill. Clothes hang on hangers. Outside the painting came the noise of the road.
Looking through the small kitchen door: frying pans, coffee maker...
the phone rang.
Delphine's legs in shorts. She jumped out of the window onto the small balcony and closed the window. There is a fan hanging on the left wall, the floor is carpeted, and there is a pot of flowers.
She came barefooted to the telephone and sat on the carpet, picking up the receiver.
Delphine: Hello? ... ah, hello Jean-Pierre! ...OK, thank you for calling. ...Yeah, I wanted to ask you if I could go to Andibs, some... ah! I thought you were still on the mountain! ...isn't that bad for her stuff, um...I (sigh) oh, it's alright...yes...oh, thanks a lot! Going to Plagne alone, what you said is good! Do you despise me or what? No, I was supposed to go to Greece and I didn't. forget it! ...I don't know, maybe go to Ireland with Bobby... how about you? are you going? But in general, you don't go...

Sunday, July 8

, suburban street, exterior scene,
row of cars parked on the sidewalk in front of the small garden during the day, suburban dormitory scene, background scene. Delphine walked towards a telephone pole. She was wearing a red top and beige shorts. She stopped by the pole and looked at the advertisement posted on it. Behind the poles is a row of fences, covered with ivy.
The ad reads:

FRANCE-Quebec Confederation of Professional Personnel Development. To reconnect with its members and with all sectors of society. The federation engages in light, oral, and healthy work. We now include people who are proficient in yoga, light gymnastics, natural dance, Korean relaxation therapy and all new treatments as members, aiming to benefit everyone who wants to change and improve their lives. Groups and individuals are welcome to apply. Contacts: Jacques Mann, Marie de Clichy (stamp).

Delphine went to the right after reading the advertisement. The music fades away.

Suburban house, exterior scene, the
gate faces the road during the day, a small garden in front of the house is surrounded by green trees. Manula sat at a table in the garden with a black cat on her lap. Her bra straps slipped over her shoulders. On the right, there are teapots, plates with pastries, etc. on the table. In the background is a house. Manula stroked the cat.
Beatrice (voice-over): I, I went to Florence by myself...why don't you go by yourself?
Delphine sat on her left, wearing a self-colored sleeveless top, chewing something. Beatrice was on her right, in a red dress with lantern sleeves, her arms folded on the table.
Delphine: Because I want to.
Françoise, with reddish-brown hair wearing a green headband and a green sweater. Clothes were drying on a rope behind her, and she was drinking from a bowl.
Delphine (voice-over): I don't want to go by myself! I've done this once and I don't like it!
Beatrice (voice-over): Still, it's fun to travel alone!
Delphine: Are you kidding or something? I have done this once. I've been to Nice and I think it's a little...a little too inhumane.
Beatrice (voice-over): I tell you, it's easier to meet people that way!
Delphine: No, I don't know anyone.
Manuela (off-screen): Yeah, but that's how I know Antoine.
Delphine sighed.
Beatrice (voice-over): So, in Paris, do you know a lot of people?
Delphine: Not much.
Beatrice (voice-over): Don't you want to meet some people?
Delphine (chewing dried plums): Of course.
Beatrice: Why don't you, I don't understand, why don't you go on a group vacation?
Delphine (voice-over): You're crazy!
Beatrice: What's the matter?
Delphine (voice-over): Okay! Beatrice!
Beatrice: Are you prejudiced? What's holding you back from group travel?
Delphine (off-screen): Are you not normal? Are you trying to bully people or something? Damn, I just told you...
Beatrice: I didn't bully you, listen, you must find a way to solve your loneliness! You can't go on like this...
Delphine (VO): Listen, don't start...
Beatrice: You can't be alone all your life!
Delphine (partially overridden by Beatrice): ...find a solution...
Beatrice: Look at yourself, how melancholy you are!
Delphine (off-screen): No, I'm not melancholy! Where did you get it from?
Beatrice: No, you're melancholy!
Delphine (off-screen): I, I feel good. Not depressed, I am not depressed.
Françoise sat on the left, shoulders bare, a rooster crowed, and she smiled.
Beatrice: Anyway, you're alone.
Delphine (off-screen): So what? I want to say, I want to say why are you joking? What fun!
Françoise pouted.
Beatrice: You think it's fun to be alone, don't you?
Delphine: I don't find it interesting, I'm not going on a group vacation anyway! Or the same as... and the beginning!
Beatrice: Of course! Get active!
Manula looked serious, still petting the cat.
Delphine: Come on, don't give it to me again...
Beatrice: You know in your heart, it's true! I also had times like you, I didn't want to move at all, and I was also very depressed. Terrible... terrifying! I know I can live this way too, but I have to get out of it! We, so many friends, will help you!
Delphine got angry and put her hands in her hair. Manula held the teapot, and Françoise's hand was on the table.
Delphine: Don't tell the truth, I'm not depressed, everything is fine! ...
Beatrice (V.O.): That's what's going to heal you!
Delphine: But you don't know me, you don't know me!
Beatrice (off-screen): I don't know you, but I see you!
Delphine: What did you see me? You see where I am, you only come to see me for five minutes...you don't know me! what do you say? You comment on things...
Beatrice: That's it, we talked about it together before. You are not very active.
Delphine: Too little has been said. It's you who talks endlessly.
Beatrice: Ah! Yes, some people have to say something to express themselves.
Delphine: No, I have a lot to say.
Beatrice: Okay, let's talk!
Delphine: I have a lot to say, but I won't. I mean, it doesn't mean...
Beatrice (suddenly): Say it! We want to hear from you! (hitting the table with a spoon) We're all listening, come on...
Françoise picks up the bowl and puts it down.
Beatrice: I'm not cruel, I'm doing it for your own good. But sometimes, sometimes you have to be rough with someone... I don't know, did your parents never teach you when you were raised so much...
Delphine (increasingly annoyed, embarrassed): She's crazy ! So cruel! Why did she tell me this? so forthright?
Beatrice: Well, I admit, I'm crazy, I'm cruel...
Delphine: How did my parents raise me? I want to say...
Beatrice: To move forward there must be an opposite.
Delphine: Wait five minutes! I'm fine! Well, I'm a little lonely right now (she looks at Beatrice), but I'd say I'm not totally alone, I'm not a totally lonely girl. There's a guy in my life, well, if I don't see him at this time, I'm going to be miserable. You have nothing to say!
Beatrice: All right! agree! However, I didn't know there was someone in your life too. I see that you are always like this, and I just want you to be more active and do more things! I'm good for friends and I'm often rude. (Delphina scoffs) Sometimes, I am, sometimes more than that! I even slap my girlfriend in the face just to make fun of her! (Manula takes Delphine's hand, tears in her eyes) To make her stop!
Delphine: Yes, you are not like me!
Beatrice: Yes, you too, you are not like me, that's what makes life interesting.
Delphine: Yes, but you, you keep yelling in my ear, and I don't know how to get rid of it!
Beatrice: Can't be so lifeless anymore!
Manula was still petting the cat, thinking.
Manuela: Listen to me, Delphine, you've blown with Jean-Pierre now. Either you will meet people again, or you will live a lifetime in the memory of the past. Don't you want to know anyone anymore?
Delphine: I wish I knew someone else!
Manuela (voice-over): You can look at your zodiac sign. Can... well, listen, I'm going to get the gods to speak, go to them tonight, I'm going to change my luck.
Delphine: To find the lad, to change luck, I never tried! However, try it!
Françoise smiled, the teapot in front of her.
Manula: But you have to believe one thing, if you don't believe...
Delphine: I believe, I believe, I believe... I believe, I believe, for such a coming, such a thing itself, (some Exaggeratedly) Love affairs...
Manula: You don't believe it, I mean, are you superstitious? You believe in luck, but you don't believe in poker, you don't believe in astrology, and you don't believe in anything?
Delphine (voice-over): I, I believe in personal superstitions. I can believe in one thing, I can believe in poker, the little poker that people play on the street. Me, I've seen playing cards on the street.
Beatrice: Do you see it often?
Delphine: I've seen it a few times, when I'm unprepared. I walked and found a card and it meant something every time. Once I went to my sister's house and saw a queen of spades on the sidewalk. The Q of spades is unlucky.
Manuela (off-screen): Oh, really!
Delphine (fiddling with the sandals on her feet): Do you know what that means?
Manula (off-screen): Understand.
Delphine: Then you see, on my way to my sister's house... (Manula sits at a small garden table with a white tablecloth and a white hat on it. Off-screen) I was caught by a Card... A green card attracted! What's even weirder is that I met a psychic who was a friend of mine, (Manula smiled and took a newspaper and flipped through it, off-screen) He told me that green would be my destiny this year color. It's so weird, because since then, maybe because I'm paying too much attention, I keep bumping into the little green things. You know what I saw on the way to my sister's house? A small green card, next to a green pole, and I happened to be wearing green clothes.
Manuela (V.O.): Well, if that's the case, you're going to be looking for a little green man!
Beatrice: No, but this is the color of hope!
Françoise: Oh, sure things will go well this year!
Beatrice: Hey, pass me the newspaper. (Manu hands her the newspaper; Delphine puts her arms on the table and rests her chin in her hand, and Beatrice reads it) Oh, your sign is Aureus. (reading the newspaper) "Don't want to trust others, keep waiting for the so-called Prince Charming, and be lonely forever, which will make you depressed."
Delphine: (whispering) Oh...
Beatrice: (then read the newspaper) : What a terrible vicious circle! But that's how to deal with your...(deliberately) stubbornness?
Delphine: But I'm not stubborn, but life is too harsh on me! It's true, it's true...
Beatrice handed the paper to Manula.
The black cat walked over the roof, the figure moved on the wall, and the camera followed. Outside the picture, the girls continued to chat. The sound is looming.
A girl (off-screen): He has brown skin and green eyes (bells are heard off-screen). People celebrated one festival after another...
Delphine sat on the concrete steps, facing the door, with her elbows on her knees and her cheeks on her hands. Outside the picture, the girls' laughter.
Françoise, Manuela and Beatrice were still sitting around the table.
Françoise: Indeed, he meant to say, you are Mongols.
Beatrice: But it's more than that.
Magella: What is Delphine doing?
Françoise : So, finally...
Beatrice: She's gone. She doesn't want to talk. I don't know what's wrong with her...she's always alone. This girl, what's going on?
Françoise: No, because she... Delphine, because she is too melancholy.
Beatrice: Yes, she's always so melancholy, naturally, or...
Françoise: No, it's because Jean-Pierre blew her, they've been dating for a long time, In a piece of my...
Beatrice (at the same time as Françoise): Who is Jean-Pierre?
Manula (eating cake): It's her... her fiancé.
Beatrice: How long has it been?
Françoise stood up, wearing a pair of white shorts and a green T-shirt with a large collar that showed her back.
Françoise: I'll go see her.
Beatrice: Look, she doesn't want to tell me anything! And me? I also find it awkward to talk about other people's affairs.
Manuela: Yeah, anyway, she's been alone for two years, so she...she's a little down!
Françoise came to Delphine's side.
Françoise: What's the matter with you?
German Huberna: Nothing.
Françoise sat down on the concrete steps beside Delphine, who turned around.
Françoise: Why are you crying?
Delphine (pushing her): Let me be quiet for a while!
Françoise: Is it because of the lads?
Delphine: No, please spare me!
Françoise: Is it because of the vacation?
Delphine: I don't care!
Françoise: Then why are you crying?
Delphine: Do nothing.
She sobbed, and Françoise put an arm around her shoulder.
Françoise: Well, stop crying like that!
Beatrice: Not because of what we said? (Manula looks at Delphine off the picture on the right, she is still crying) We didn't say anything bad!
The camera returns to Françoise and Delphine, who is still crying.
Françoise: Come to my house! There is a big house and a garden. I have a sister, brother, and several children at home. There is sea, there is sunshine, you come!
Delphine: Yes, but... Bobby wants me to go to Ireland with my mother, but it's not a vacation! I need a real vacation...I love my home, but I can't...
Françoise: Then come to Cherbourg! We will be very happy and meet a lot of people.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 18 -

PORT OF Cherbourg, EXTERNAL - DAY
Delphine walks in front of a painted iron railing with houses in the distance. She was wearing a navy blue T-shirt with a blue and white top over her shoulders.
Delphine: There's a puppy taking a shower over there, so nice!
Françoise: Exactly. (They come to a corner of the railing with the sea in the distance. Françoise points here and there...) You see, there is the Jura Mountain, and there is a place called La Rouge over there . There's a drilling rig over there. There must be an entertainment port. (pointing to the left) And there, there is the Lager River, and there is a wasteland on the other side.
A young man leaned against the railing, wearing a sky blue shirt, a red sweater, and blue sailor trousers, looking at the entertainment port in the distance. Outside the painting, the whistle of a cabin ship in the distance can be heard.
Françoise (V.O.): Did you see that guy? (Delphina turns her head away embarrassedly, but smiles) Hey, look at him!
Delphine: Don't look at people like that!
Françoise (approvingly) He's good looking, (the lad turns to look at them) He's brown and a good build.
Delphine: He's looking at you!
Françoise: Nothing!
Delphine: Stop staring!
Françoise (excitedly) He's looking at us! I'm sure he has a crush on you. Look!
She tugged at Delphine's clothes, and Delphine avoided her embarrassedly.
Delphine: Stop making trouble, stop pulling my clothes!
The young man looked again towards the port, perhaps to hide his embarrassment.
Delphine (voice-over): Oh, he's the kind of guy you like!
Françoise (voice-over): No, you like it!
Delphine: At least, he likes you.
Françoise (loudly): Hello!
The camera goes back to the lad (his name is Edward).
Edward: Hello!
Delphine: Don't be so shameless, don't go there!
Françoise: Did you come out to play?
Edward (voice-over): Yes.
Françoise: What's your name?
The young man walked towards them, and Delphine looked a little uneasy.
Edward: My name is Edward.
Françoise: Her name is Delphine.
Delphine (shyly): Hello!
Françoise: My name is Françoise.
Edward: Hello! What are you here for?
He was leaning against the railing, and they were at the corner of the railing.
Delphine: We're on vacation.
Edward: Vacation?
Delphine: Yes, yes...
Edward: With the family?
Delphine: Yes, yes.
Françoise: Yes.
Edward: I'm going to Ireland tomorrow.
Delphine: Coincidentally, I almost went to Ireland.
Edward: Really?
Delphine: Yes, I almost went. Then I thought... Cherbourg was more to my liking. I'll be satisfied to come and play here.
Françoise: Are you a sailor?
Edward: Yes, sailors. My boat is over there (point to the boat on the left).
Françoise: You are alone.
Edward: Yes, just me.
Françoise: What are you doing tonight?
Edward: How about you?
Delphine: As usual, dinner at the hotel.
Edward: Can we meet after dinner?
Françoise: Oh, yes!
Edward: So... just after ten o'clock, eleven o'clock?
Françoise: Yes!
Edward: Okay?
Delphine: No. But I don't think I can cancel this date, do I?
Françoise: No, we can cancel!
Delphine: No, it's impossible!
Edward: Why?
Delphine: It can't be canceled, what is said is good, it must be done.
Françoise: We can figure it out.
Edward: If you have dinner, right after dinner, okay? Like go to the petanque for a cold drink or something? May I?
Françoise: OK.
Delphine: No.
Edward: No?
Françoise: Yes!
Delphine: I think we have to go back quickly, goodbye (she walks as she talks).
Françoise and Edward looked at each other.
Françoise: We can see you tomorrow.
Edward: Tomorrow, I'm leaving.
Françoise: Well, let's find another day!
She walked away from Edward as she spoke, her hands on her head, looking ridiculous.
She came to Delphine, and they stood before another railing, with houses and trees in the distance.
Françoise: Why did you just go away?
Delphine: You know, I don't understand either, I'm a little worried.
Françoise: Don't you like him?
Delphine: I don't like it, he looked a little inauthentic just now.
Françoise: As you say, you don't know anyone.
Delphine: Yes, but listen to me, this guy is leaving tomorrow, I can't figure it out, I think this guy is weird enough.
They looked at the place where Edward had been standing, and then Françoise, folded his arms on his chest again, walked over to Delphine's side.
Françoise: I don't know either. If I were you, I would definitely agree.
Delphine: Yes! But you are not like me. (They start going down the steps) Hey, Françoise.
Françoise: Yeah, so different.
They paint.

House in Cherbourg, exterior, daytime
sky, woods, singing birds.
In the courtyard, the Françoise family sits at a table: Gérard Q is on the left, wearing a dotted beige sweater with a shirt underneath; Delphine is on the right, a blue sweater with blue in her hair hair knot. they are eating.
A man in a blue sweater, Gerard L, passed behind the other Gerard and Delphine, and sat beside Delphine.
Gerard L: Here comes the pork chops: please make a place for me... (people move the table to make room for the plate he's serving) some half-cooked, some bloody, what kind of What kind of thing, let's eat it!
Everyone was eating except Delphine.
Delphine: I don't eat meat.
Gerard L: Really?
Delphine: Yes.
BRIDGET (VO): You don't like meat?
Delphine: I don't like it, I don't like it. But that's okay, it's not a problem.
Gerard L (disappointed): All right!
Delphine: It's okay, no, no, it's nothing!
BRIDGET (V.O.): Can I make you something else to eat?
Delphine: No, no, I don't eat meat, nothing! I want a small tomato. (The camera pans to a tomato)
She is handed a plate of green apples and tomatoes, and she takes a tomato.
Liliana (off-screen): Here you go, eat it!
Gerard L (Voice): There's a small piece there, and that small piece, doesn't it work?
Delphine: No, no, I don't eat meat.
Liliana: Then get a tomato! You should have told us earlier.
Gerard Q: Yeah, we can do something else to eat.
Françoise (voice-over): She just likes vegetables.
Liliana (voice-over): Do you eat eggs?
Delphine (cutting tomatoes): No, I don't like it very much.
Gerard Q: If you don't eat it, then you never eat meat?
Delphine: Never.
Gerard Q: Yes.
BRIDGET (V.O.): What about the fish?
Delphine: I don't like fish too much. Still, eat occasionally when there's nothing else...the body has to have some protein, and sometimes, when I'm at someone's house, but I...
Gillard L: You're fine, aren't you? all right?
Brigitte is on the left side of the frame, with long black hair and a grey sweater, and her smile looks forgiving and understanding. Gerard L and Liliana leaned forward slightly to look at Delphine.
Gerard L: Really?
Delphine (off-screen): It's true.
Gerard L: Really?
Delphine (off-screen): But I'm fine. ... At home, eating whole grains, I... everything I make is especially delicious.
Liliana: What about dairy products?
Delphine: Dairy, eat...
Liliana: Where's the milk?
Delphine (voice-over): Milk, drink it. Also eat apricots. Honestly, no need to eat meat!
Françoise was wearing a rose-colored sweater, and to her right was a young man in red, Hugues, her friend.
Gerard Q (off screen): Then I'll ask you, no, when you're in someone else's house, they let you...
Delphine: Well, that's it, but... Gerard
L: Understood! clear!
The crowd laughed.
BRIDGET (V.O.): Then make her something special.
Delphine: No, no, I don't want people to do anything special for me! All is well! I am satisfied with this!
Liliana (voice-over) What about the crustaceans?
Delphine: Oh, I don't like it.
Liliana (off-screen): I don't like it either! What about crawfish?
Delphine: Don't eat! Do not eat!
Françoise (voice-over) What about the crab?
Delphine: Those are animals!
Gerard (voice-over): Anyway, all animals are taken by you...
Delphine: I can't tell, but you see, these are all creatures. I don't think it should...especially animals with red blood!
Her voice was mingled with laughter.
Gerard L (voice-over): All in all, if someone gives you a pork chop, you think of a live pig?
Françoise: But, Delphine, do you like green? Let's say lettuce, it grows in the field, it's alive, what happens when you pull it out? It withered, which means it died.
Delphine: Yes, but I don't see it that way. Lettuce is too far away for me, farther away than meat and animals. Lettuce, not a friend, vegetables, farther away, I don't know, it doesn't...
Liliana (Voice): No blood?
Delphine: Yes, I, I...
Brigitte [Voiceover]: ...without a beating heart?
Delphine: But maybe... maybe I don't think much about these things, but right now, in my period, like this, maybe I'm mistaken... I just eat like this, just by instinct. Eat like this.
Gerard Q (off-screen): You know, when I was young (the camera zooms in on him), when I first entered the butcher shop, I had a similar feeling, and now, when I buy meat in the big mall, I just There is no such feeling anymore.
Delphine (V.O.): This just shows the question of whether there is awareness of things. I don't think that's good, because if people don't notice when they eat meat, if they don't feel what they're doing and how they kill animals, then it's a big mistake, then you go to the butcher's shop There are also feelings, of blood, of violence.
Gerard Q: Of course.
Delphine: But then you suddenly lost that feeling.
Gerard Q: Well, when I buy something else...
Delphine: You lose that feeling, which is exactly what you shouldn't lose.
Gerard Q: Yeah, but...I also buy products made by people whose living conditions are completely different from mine, and have no qualms about it. (Girard L picks up a bottle of wine from the table) If I had to consciously think about it every time I went to the big mall to buy something, then...
Delphine: But I just said, mainly about meat, in You can totally skip it in France. This awareness problem is completely solvable. We don't have to eat meat, go eat something else. Besides, it's also very economical...
Everyone laughs (off-screen).
Gerard L: Considering the question from an economic point of view, there are indeed a lot of things that should be thrown into the trash!
The crowd laughed.
Delphine: It's very economical. Meat is very expensive. It doesn't cost much to eat some cereal every day (speaking while gesturing). Economically speaking, must it be more expensive to keep a herd of cattle on the grass than something that grows directly from the grass? This is for sure!
Gerard L: But as far as taste is concerned, I prefer...
Delphine: There is no taste at all in the meat, besides, I think that even if people say vegetable patties, even though they are made with... only vegetables, In fact, there is only the taste of the dough, and I can't eat it, even though I know it is made of plants, and I have no appetite for the filling.
Brigitte: It's just wordplay, pie!
Delphine: Wells are not words, but tastes, impressions. That stuff is not easy to digest.
Gerard L raised his fork and ate again.
Girard Q (voice-over): It's going to be malnourished.
Delphine: No, malnutrition does not occur. I love going out for a walk to get some air. It seems to be food, I can't say for sure, the air is also food, it's very light...
Gerard Q: If someone gives you, I can't say, give you a roast leg of lamb in the open air, like this...
Del Fina: No, that's not what I'm talking about...
Gillard L (V.O.): Like the fire over there.
Gerard Q: Yes, under the apple tree over there.
Delphine: When I say air, I don't mean the environment, I mean the sense organs in the body. Your body is what you feed. Well, with air and food, that's it, the food you eat helps you survive, I think so. (Girard Q stretches out his arms again, picks up a glass pot with roses and white flowers, and places it in front of Delphine) Food for you... (holds up a white flower) Ah, obviously, this is too Mysterious, you don't care what I say!
Gerard L (voice-over): I don't think so.
Delphine: Also, I don't eat flowers, but it's a matter of instinct because... (off-screen, laughter).
Gerard L (voice-over): Then you won't eat anything? (Pretend to learn Chinese accent) You can eat rice like a Chinese, only rice.
Delphine: Okay, rice, I eat rice. But flowers, I think it...I can't eat flowers. To me, a flower is poetic, it's like a painting...
She inhales the fragrance of the flower. The sound of seagulls can be heard outside the painting.

Françoise is on the swing, wearing a short skirt and a white short-sleeved shirt today. Hughes looked at her, also wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and beige trousers. On the grass in the distance, lay Delphine and Venisa, a girl we had just met. Françoise stopped swinging, and Hugues came to her and kissed her.
Hughes: Let's go to the garden, let's go pick some strawberries.
They walked towards the background.
Vanessa stood up and played on the swing, the girl's chubby face flushed.
Vanessa: Are you coming? Do you want to swing?
Delphine, wearing a long navy blue T-shirt with a belt, came to push her.
Delphine: I don't really want to play, you know, I don't like swinging. It makes my heart feel bad.
Venisha: Then you never played on the swings when you were young?
Delphine: Well, let me tell you, my heart skips a beat!
Vanessa: You don't like strenuous exercise very much!
Delphine: Swinging on a swing isn't supposed to be violent!
close-up. In front of Venisa, Delphine is on the left, with her elbows on the hanger.
Vanessa: You look...quiet! Do you like sailing boats?
Delphine: I'm sick in the boat, baby!
VENESSA (thoughtfully): Oh, that's it...
Under the parasol, Brigitte, Liliana, and Brother Gerard were sitting in chairs talking. Off-painting seagulls mingled with the cries of playful children in the garden.
Delphine and Vanessa are tasting black raspberry wine.
Venisha: Hey, this black tea raspberry wine tastes really good! Have you never had a drink before?
Delphine: No, I did.
Vanessa: You don't have a boyfriend?
Delphine: No, has a boyfriend.
Vanessa: Then why didn't he come?
Delphine: Because he can't come, he has to work.
Vanessa: Silly enough, isn't it?
Delphine: Oh, it doesn't matter to me, it's just...
Vanessa: He, what's his name?
Delphine: Jean-Pierre.
Vanessa: Do you see him often?
Delphine: Common, but he doesn't work in Paris, so we don't meet often. ...but he's my boyfriend anyway!
Vanessa: Maybe you will live with him in the future?
Delphine: Yes, sooner or later.
Vanessa: I got stung, it hurts here (she rubs her ankle).
Delphine: Why are you asking me this? Are you worried?
Vanessa: No, just asking.
Delphine: I have a boyfriend. Anyway, I have, I have several boyfriends, and my boyfriends change frequently!
Vanessa: Are you going to stay long?
Delphine: Huh?
Vanessa: Are you going to stay long?
Delphine: Until you kick me out of the house!
Vanessa: Are you going to call him then?
Delphine: To whom?
Vanessa: Boyfriend!
Delphine: Maybe! ... Anyway, I have another boyfriend.
Vanessa: You change boyfriends like changing shirts! You change men like changing shirts! They are all good people! After that, it will be troublesome, eh!
Delphine: Why do you ask this, who asked you to ask?
Vanessa: No one asked me to ask, I was curious.
Delphine: Nature?
Vanessa: So to speak, do you have any plans with him?
Delphine: Ah, you are so curious too! Listen...I don't have any plans right now, and I won't have any plans.
Françoise and Hugues hug each other in the hammock that echoes back and forth.
Hughes: We've been here all afternoon, haven't we?
Françoise: Hi, Hi… (they kiss)
Brothers Gilard, Liliana and Brigitte are playing Scrabble.
Liliana (puts three letters): I spell it Axel. Check it out, I'm not sure.
Brigitte: What does Axel mean?
Liliana: Two Axels are skating.
Gerard Q: Oh, yes.
Brigitte: What is it?
Gerard L (reading dictionary): Skating.
Brigitte: It's a technical term, isn't it?
Liliana: Two Axels, you've never heard of them?
Brigitte: No, no.
Delphine sat on the ground with a large plastic bucket in front of her. Julie, a little girl with a bare bottom, shoveled a shovel of sand into the bucket, stirring up the contents.
Delphine: Alright! (singing aloud) Scrape and stir, stir and stir the children's soup! Are you going to find some?
The little girl went to the left.
Julie: Do it again, just do it.
She shovelled sand from a wheelbarrow and squatted in front of a bucket to pour it in.
Delphine: Come on, baby, take it easy. (sings with Julie) Stir up the children's soup!

FRIDAY, July 20,

Two little girls on a swing during the day.
Laughter and vague conversations can be heard off-screen.
It was still at that table, the same few people from yesterday, they were chatting with a smile, and their voices were vague.
Françoise and Hugues are kissing.
Gerard Q is pictured left, with a red turban tied around his head like a gypsy, Delphine in a red sweater, they're joking.
Brigitte (voice-over): Shall we go to the beach tomorrow and take a sailboat?
Delphine: Sailboat? I really want to go to the sea, but I can't take a sailboat, because my heart will not feel well when I take a boat.
Brigitte (voice-over): Then you're not a Pisces!
Delphine: No, I'm a Taurus!
Brigitte: You're a Taurus...
Delphine: Yes, are you okay with that?
Bridget: Understand a little bit. I learned a little bit of astrology.
Delphine: Gerard Q, like me, is also a Taurus.
Gerard Q (off-screen): Yes.
Delphine: What's the point of that?
Brigitte: You know, the beetle, the symbol of the little goat. It climbs mountains, and as high as possible. (off-screen, laughter from Gerard L.) But generally, it's always been climbing alone. Kind of like you! Do not you think so?
Delphine: Yes, maybe it's me.
Gerard L: Yes, it's true, people have such an impression after not knowing you for a long time. Every time I give you a suggestion, you always say "No, I don't like it... no, I don't like it very much..."
Delphine: Oh, I'm not that difficult, stop talking nonsense!
Gerard Q: Well, what exactly do you like?
Delphine: What do you like? I'm not that hard to deal with! I feel like I'm super docile until now!
Gerard L: Oh, super docile, eh?
Delphine: I'm not difficult to get along with!
Gerard L: Okay.
Delphine: I have no trouble, I've bought things, I've hung out, I used to be so passionate, fuck!
Gerard Q: You washed the dishes too!
Delphine: Washed.
Gerard Q: But you never told me! ...
Delphine: What do you blame me for?
Brigitte: We always want to make you happy and bring you the greatest happiness while you're here!
Delphine: But, I'm fine, I feel good!
Gerard L: What exactly do you like? What do you really want to do every day?
Delphine: Hanging out, that's enough!
Gerard L: Is that enough?
Liliana: What a plant! A plant...
Delphine: I am a plant?

Sea, exterior, daytime
panorama slightly down. A group of people frolicked in the waves, with windsurfing boards in the distance. People are playing water polo. Delphine, in a blue sweater and khaki shorts, was alone here, dripping by the water. The windsurfing board passed in front of her, then came out to the right. Delphine walked from the water to the shore.

SATURDAY, JULY 21

Seaside, EXT. DAY
Delphine, wearing a navy blue sweater, blue trousers, and a sky blue plastic raincoat, walks barefoot on the fenced path.
On the other side of the fence was the sea, and Delphine stayed in front of the fence for a while. There was the sound of wind and deafening waves. She continued walking, stopped at the end of the road, hesitated for a while, and walked towards the grove.
She walked onto another pothole road and still heard the wind, the sound of the waves. She walked slowly, looking distressed. She grabbed a spiraea and sniffed...
The fence at the end of the path, behind the fields, she put her arms on the fence.
The sea in the distance, the groves outside the fields...
branches blown by the wind.
She couldn't help shedding tears, looked up at the sky, lowered her eyelids, and cried quietly.

Vanessa: Alas, Delphine!
They kissed each other, and Julie came over.
Delphine: Are you hanging out?
Two girls: Yes.
Delphine: Hello, little one.
Vanessa: Where were you just now?
Delphine: Walking downstairs, in the woods...
Liliana and Françoise: Look!
They showed Delphine the leaves they had picked.
Delphine (slightly reproachful): Oh, how can you destroy nature!
Liliane and Françoise: Oh...
Delphine (holds up a spiraea): Look, such a big flower!
She was surrounded by several people.
Vanessa: It's beautiful, isn't it?
Liliana hands Delphine a spiraea.
Delphine: This is for me?
Vanessa: Yes.
Delphine: No, no, take it, I should have brought you something, but I will never pick the flowers again... I went there and thought of a little gift for you...
Vanessa: You Are you not upset?
Delphine: Don't worry, I see the sea, I see those...
Gerard Q: All right, hurry up!
He walked from behind Françoise to the left.
Brigitte hugged Julie, followed by Gerard L, and they came to the car together, ready to get in.
Gerard L: All right, get in the car, little one!
It was a beige Renault-4, and Gerard L opened the door and Delphine got in. Hughes walked towards the Citroen parked next to him.

Gillard L: With uncle, with uncle. THE GARDENS OF THE CHURBOURV VILLA

, SUNDAY, 22 JULY, EXTERNAL, DAY Behind the colonnades, Julie and a little girl whose name we don't know are playing with a Breton longhair dog, shouting and playing. In the foreground are the clothes drying on the rope. There are adults talking outside the picture. The puppy ran wildly. Two little girls are chasing it. A table in the garden with leftovers from lunch, wine bottles, wine glasses, ice cubes, water glasses...Gillard L sits at the table with Liliana and Brigitte on the left and Brigitte on the right Gerard Q, they're chatting. Gerard Q: Yes, I think it makes him happy. In the end, he chose... well... Liliana: But always work, work, work!

Françoise comes out of the house, wearing a rose-colored skirt and a light green T-shirt, and she goes down the steps, from Delphine passed in front of her, and Delphine also stood up and followed Françoise. Delphine: Françoise? Françoise: What's the matter? Delphine: I don't want to be here anymore. You have to take me away. Françoise: What's the matter with you? Do you feel bad here? Delphine: No, I feel good, I feel good, but...














Françoise: Are they not affectionate enough with you?
Delphine: No, they're very affectionate... (Several other people are still chatting outside the picture) To be honest, you understand me very well, I can't be here, I can't be alone here like this!
Françoise: I can talk to them about it. By the way, they all understand people and will understand.
Delphine: I'm really disturbed!
Françoise (puts a hand on her shoulder): Oh, don't worry!
Delphine turned around and walked quickly into the house. Outside the screen there are still constant conversations.
Several people chatting at the table. Françoise came to them.
Liliana (continuing): I think this will be fine.
Vanessa: How many people do you want?
Françoise came to Gerard L and Liliane.
Gerard Q: You're leaving, aren't you?
Françoise: Oh, I have a message for you!
Liliana: Good!
Françoise: Delphine, she's leaving!
Bridget (surprised): Really?
Liliana: Is she angry?
Françoise: No, no, she's not angry at all, but she wants all three of us to go back.
Hugues stopped behind Françoise.
Gerard L: I'm not too surprised by this.
Liliana: No, I'm just sorry, she used to be very enthusiastic.
Françoise: Oh no, you should be like us and understand her very well, well, I mean, people are different.
Hugues: Oh, she should have stayed in Paris!
Brothers Gerard and Liliana: Well, that's it.
VENESSA (with Julie): Is Delphine leaving?
Françoise: Yes, she is going.
Vanessa: Why are you leaving?

Françoise: Then I don't know.

Parisian streets and parks, Monday, July 23

, exterior,
a boulevard during the day, and wide steps in the background. The sound of cars, not far from the picture is a street. Delphine came down the steps, followed by a strange man. He was wearing light blue jeans and a white sweat vest with red trim, with a bag on his shoulders. She walked down the steps, and the man paused for a moment, then walked down the steps. Delphine approached a chair on the right, hesitated, and left the chair again. The man slowed down, came to the chair, sat down, and looked at Delphine outside the painting.
Delphine sat on another chair with her legs crossed. She was wearing a red top and jeans. She put the bag on the chair, took out a book, opened it, and browsed casually. Glancing at the person she hated.
Behind the chair the man was sitting was the street, the house... He stood up and came to Delphine's chair to sit down. Delphine picked up her bag, stood up, and walked to the side with the book in her hand. The guy immediately followed her.
St. Sulpice Square, with the fountain in the background, Delphine crosses the square, the strange man follows her.
Delphine came to the intersection and waited for the green light. The car passed in front of her, across from several shops. The strange man also came to the intersection at this time, approached Delphine, stared at her unabashedly, said a few incomprehensible words, and tried to talk to her.
Delphine turned her face and gave him an unceremonious look.
Delphine: Do you want my picture?
Strange Man (looking through his bag for something): Why not! you are so pretty! Would you like a cigarette?
Delphine ignored him and walked to the left. The man closed the cigarette case, watched her go away, and then walked off to the other side in disappointment.

Delphine's House, Interior, Day
A table covered with a tablecloth with alarm clocks, flower pots, cameras, etc., a fan on the wall and a reclining chair in the background.
Delphine (V.O.): Hello, is that Jean-Pierre? Okay...
she's sitting on the phone in an armchair, elbows on her knees: she's wearing a white crop top, light blue jeans.
Delphine: I am Delphine. How... (window behind her is closed) I'm in Paris... um... no... listen, we know, Cherbourg is kind of... so good, just... um... I'm back, yeah, I'm back...no...well, you know me, well...no, I want to ask you, can I go to the mountains to play? ...

Wednesday, July 25

, Plagne Mountains, EXTERNAL, DAY
Tourists get off their coaches, carrying large and small bags. In the background is a blue sky against a larch forest. Delphine got out of the car alone, carrying two bags in her hands.
In the distance, the top of the mountain is covered by clouds and mist. On the hillside there were not very tall pine trees, and the grass on the grass was still green. In the foreground several people were skating, shouting with joy.
Bikes for rent stand in front of a sporting goods store. Those guys are still skating. There are several coffee shops in the distance. Delphine came over here, wearing a blue top and black trousers, carrying a striped bag in her hand and a red envelope on her shoulders. She stopped before reaching the sporting goods store and greeted a man inside.
Delphine: Is he there? Poirot?
A young man came out, wearing a T-shirt and jeans. On the front of the store: "This shop rents skis." And a billboard: "Ski pants, ski jerseys, tops, pullovers..."
Michelle (hugs her): Hello! Delphine.
Delphine: Hello, Michelle, how are you?
Michelle: Good, how about you?
Delphine: Yes, how about you?
Michelle: Are you on vacation?
Delphine: Well, yes. I'm from Paris, isn't Poirot? He has the keys to Jean-Pierre's studio.
Michel: Oh, Poirot! He went to the valley and came back in a while. (Delphina looks troubled) Usually, he always has the keys. Would you like to take a walk?
Delphine (looks at her bag): Well, I'd love to go shopping for a while.
Michelle: Put your bag here! ……it's OK?
Delphine: All right.
Michelle: OK!
He took the bag, and Delphine was rummaging in one of them.
Delphine: I put on my little white hat.
Michelle: Well, as you please. I'm going to work.
Delphine (hands the bag to Michelle): Goodbye, Michelle.
Michelle went into the store with her bag, and Delphine walked to the other side.
There is a small road on the hillside, grass and stones beside the road, and there are sparse small trees on the hillside. Delphine walked heavily along the path.
She walked past a cold drink shop. On the right side of the picture is a mountain peak, the top of which is shrouded in thick fog. Delphine stopped and grabbed a handful of gray snow, and continued walking towards the left hillside. Her hat was blown off by the wind, and she picked it up and stopped to admire the view...
There was a young man at the door of the sporting goods store, leaning against the door frame. He was wearing jeans and a nylon waistcoat; he raised his hand.
Poirot: Delphine!
Delphine (voice-over): Hello, Poirot!
Poirot went to Delphine.
Poirot: How are you? (they hug) Are you here?
Delphine: Hmm.
Poirot: I have the key to the room.
Delphine: Oh, well, I don't need it anymore!
Poirot: Why?
Delphine: Because I want to go back.
Poirot: Go back... go back for what?
Delphine: I'm upset.
She rubbed her eyes and burst into tears. She turned around. He put a hand on her shoulder, and she fiddled with her hat, feeling mechanically for the key in Poirot's hand.
Poirot: Are you here to give your luggage a walk?
Delphine: No, I really don't know what to do... (recovers calm) My travel bag is with you, you can get it for me! I want to go back.
Poirot: Oh, really. I don't get it at all.
He went in to get his travel bag. Put it at the door.
Delphine: No, you give it to me, this, this... nothing.
Poirot (hands her bag) Well...
Delphine (takes the travel bag): Well... thanks, Poirot. Please forgive me.
Poirot: They're gone, they're all good!
Delphine: I'm sorry,...how are you?
Poirot: Very good!
Delphine: Then, see you next time!
Poirot: Delphine, you are! Do what you want... you see the key is here...
Delphine: Goodbye.
Poirot: Bye-bye.
Delphine: Goodbye.
He stood at the door, watching her leave.

THURSDAY, JULY 26 STREET

Delphine walks down the street with several cars parked on the sidewalk. She crossed the intersection and walked towards the barber shop on the corner.

Barbershop, INT, DAY
The cashier is on the left, a woman is doing bills, possibly the boss. Barber and cosmetic display racks in the store, interior decoration in classic style. The door facing the street opened and Delphine entered.
