Breakaway (Rivière)

RIVIÈRE

Yes exactly, well done.

Go Karine! Push up from your legs!

Karine, you can't jump like that. You look like an elephant.

-Are you okay, Karine? -It hurts when I land.

You've been injured for six months now.

-Something has to be done. -Fuck off!

Don't talk to your coach like that.

Give me a hand instead of just staring like that.

Does that hurt?

What do you think?

You're not from around here.

What are you doing in Belfort?

Sightseeing.

Well, you must love it.

Do you know a guy called Frank Rivière?

He works at the cafe.

It only opens at weekends. You'll have to come back tomorrow.

Damn girl, Andrea's going to kill you.

She's not the one skating.

She gets on my nerves.

Who's she?

I don't know. She's sightseeing.

She won't find much to see in Belfort.

Are you going tomorrow night?

-Yeah. -Okay, cool.

What's your name?

Manon.

You look better without it, Manon.

What the hell are you doing?

What are you doing here? It's closed.

-You can't stay. -Do you know Frank Rivière?

-I think he works here. -Yeah, I've seen him around. Why?

You know when he'll be here?

He doesn't work here anymore. He's over at a greenhouse now.

-Where's that? -Hold on...

-Can I take a picture? -Go ahead.

Thank you.

Can I help you?

Do you know where this is?

That's near La Chapelle.

-Is it far? -About 10 minutes away.

-10 minutes? -Yes, 10 minutes by car.

-Can I use your toilet? -They're for clients only.

We don't take Swiss Francs.

Is it still far?

It's at the end of the road there.

Sometimes the road is cut off when there's too much snow.

Can I help you?

-Is Frank home? -What do you want from him?

He's my dad.

What?

I think you've got the wrong address. Frank doesn't have a daughter.

When was the last time you saw him?

I don't know.

-Three years, maybe. -Why didn't you come earlier?

Where do you live?

-In Switzerland. -With your mother?

With my mother.

So, where is Frank?

He left...

to buy some trees.

Are you all alone?

Ok... Bye.

Did you find the guy you were looking for?

No.

-Your shirt is great. What team is it? -Coire.

Where's that? I've never heard of them.

They're Swiss, from the Grisons.

-Out in the middle of nowhere. -Yeah, as if Belfort is New York.

Rivière...

Who's that? Are you a fan of his?

No, it's my shirt. I play for them.

Yeah, with girls.

-More like figure skating, right? -Come on, Alex. Drop it.

What do you want? Move! I'm not going to hit a girl.

Fuck.

You had it coming, Alex.

What are you doing?

I'm leaving. Can't you see?

Are you going to buy me a drink?

I don't have any money.

-Are you going out with Alex? -No chance! I have no time for guys.

Can you get me a vodka tonic?

My coach knows the barman and he'll tell on me.

A vodka tonic and a glass of water, please.

-Do you have a guy in Switzerland? -No.

Well, yes. But it's not important.

-Does it hurt when you practice? -Yeah, but I don't have a choice.

I have to place at least third in my next competition

to make it to the French championship.

So, you play hockey?

It's a bit of a dumb sport, no?

Hey lezzies, let's head to the old skating rink.

-It's dead here. -Okay, we're coming.

Are you coming?

From Quebec? The North of France.

Man, what are you doing?

Hey, Switzerland, catch!

-What is she doing here? -And your girl? Why is she coming?

Man, your car is fucked. We're not all going to fit in it.

Carful with the seats.

Keep your eyes on the road.

Fuck, Noah, stop touching me like that!

Careful!

Sorry, sorry!

I'm coming.

-Karine, wait for me! -Come on then.

-Aren't you coming? -Yeah, come on!

Show us what you can do!

Unless you're scared...

Okay, are you ready?

Go on then.

Go!

Go on, Noa! Go on, Manon!

Come on guys!

Jeez Lucas...

-Where are you going? -To get a drink.

-Come on, Noa! -Fuck!

-There was a crack. -Yeah, great excuse.

Damn, Noa!

No shame in defeat. It happens to everyone!

Not bad, Switzerland.

Stop Karine!

-Fuck... -You're really stupid.

It's fine! I'm just messing around.

-Fuck it. I'm leaving. -Karine's crazy!

Where should I drop you off?

Don't worry. I left my bike at the ice rink.

I'll figure it out.

You're soaked, you can sleep at my place.

I'll lend you some clothes.

No, my place is not an option.

My parents are going to kill me for coming home that late.

-Bye. -Come on then.

Hurry up!

Did your parents pay for all this?

My parents don't have a penny.

They have a farm, but that's not my thing.

You're impressive on the ice.

I've played hockey since I was little.

-Are you on a girls' team? -No.

-I play with guys. -Seriously?

-Don't you struggle to keep up? -No.

What are you doing here? Why didn't you stay in Switzerland?

I got into a fight.

And they kicked you off the team for that?

I wanted to get out anyway.

You're funny, Switzerland.

Good night. I've got an early game tomorrow.

What's Karine's problem?

She can't handle the pressure.

Jenny and her are like little stars here.

She's lost it a bit since her injury.

Guys, what are you doing? Come on, guys!

They're good, right?

Guys, put some pressure in the end zone.

-Stay together. -Go Lions!

Go Lions!

Noa, cover your man.

Guys, seriously, they have the puck!

He hasn't come home.

Switzerland! I thought you'd gone back to your mountains!

Come play. We're just fooling around before training.

I don't have my skates.

Go help yourself at the rental desk.

We'll find you a stick. Hurry up! The ice is calling!

Manon, what are you doing here?

Wow the backhand!

You're killing it, Manon.

I'll take care of her.

Alex, she crushed you.

Come over here!

Where did you learn to play hockey like that?

I played in Switzerland. In Junior Elite with the boys.

Are you a goalie?

No, I'm a winger.

How old are you?

Seventeen.

Okay guys, I've prepared a training for Colmar.

I think we'll have to...

Guys, this is Manon.

She's gonna be joining us.

She played in Switzerland in Junior Elite. She is a right-winger.

I hope you guys can keep up.

No, guys, seriously.

She's a girl. No checking.

But right wing is my position.

Where will she play?

Yeah, well, Alex, you've scored two goals this season.

You're not exactly killing it.

Guys, no one has earned their place here.

We only have a few games left.

If we don't win our next games, we're relegated.

I'll be looking for a job

and you guys will be skating in tights! Go practice! Let's go!

Come on! Let's go! Let's go!

Good job, boys! Perfect!

-We have to climb up here. -Are there no guards?

Don't worry, Switzerland. This is my territory.
