Enzo

What the hell are you doing?

We're waiting on the concrete. You're holding everyone up.

I haven't stopped all day. Can't I take a break for 2 minutes?

You're too slow. You need to speed up.

I will, but my hands hurt.

Where are your gloves?

You need to wear them. I always have mine on.

It's too hard with the shovel.

I said I'd do it.

Who wants some, guys?

Who is she? Your girlfriend?

Not yet.

But I'm working on it.

Seriously, guys. It's private.

She's a knockout. Look.

Yeah, she's cute.

You know her name?

Not yet.

She's pretty anyhow.

- I'm not interested in that. - I am.

Hold on. You're sure that's her?

No, but it's a real photo.

Don't show him! He's a kid.

Please, he's seen worse.

You can't even see her face.

Still, she's not bad.

It's hard to say.

She's fit, though.

Hear him!

He must get all the girls.

It's not like that.

You don't get laid a lot?

Average, I guess.

What does that mean?

It means average.

If he's not getting laid at 16, he won't ever.

I see the windows are in.

Only the first set.

- What about the second? - By Friday.

That doesn't look straight.

Don't worry, he's getting better. But we'll go over it.

I'll walk you out.

This is rubbish work! You made me look stupid.

On top of all the defects,

it's not even plumb.

You've never used a bob?

Dammit, we won't make the deadline.

And you, I told you to supervise!

- What were you doing? - My work.

He wastes all my time.

I did all this.

You can't redo everything!

You have to watch him, or he'll fuck up.

Where's he going now?

Where are you going?

This is bullshit.

Get in the car. I'm taking you home.

- And my bike? - Get it tomorrow.

What's your parents' address?

I've always taken on apprentices. Always.

But you're the sloppiest by far.

You know what pisses me off?

You don't care. At all.

You're always late, you never listen to anything...

That's not true. I've only been late three times.

You'll never get your certificate.

It's been eight months.

And you still can't stack two breeze blocks properly.

I should let you go.

Loads of kids deserve the job more.

What?

You need to turn right here.

It's the gate over there.

Is anyone home?

- Should I take off my shoes? - No.

Guests can keep them on.

It's my boss, Mr. Corelli.

He wants to talk to you.

Offer him something to drink. We're coming.

Would you like a drink?

A glass of water.

Not a beer?

No, water's fine. Thanks.

Thank you.

Hello.

We've spoken on the phone but never met.

Yes, of course.

Excuse us, we'd gone for a dip.

It's no problem at all. I won't keep you long.

Have a seat.

So...

What's going on?

Is there a problem.

Nothing serious. I wanted to talk about Enzo.

It's not serious,

but maybe Enzo isn't quite suited to a building site.

He's an intelligent kid, just not very great with his hands.

And not motivated enough.

Wait,

are you're saying you won't keep him on?

Not at all. I'm saying it for his sake.

It'd be good for him

to think about what he really wants to do.

Maybe something other than masonry.

At the training college, his teachers agree.

To be honest,

when Enzo chose this path,

it surprised us.

It's because he was struggling with the school system.

But it's still your choice, isn't it?

Yes.

So what do you say?

I'm fine with it.

What does that mean?

What does?

Bricklaying.

Mr. Corelli doesn't seem to agree.

It's just I messed up a bit today.

I still like the job.

Apparently,

the problem's ongoing.

I'll make an effort.

I enjoy what I'm doing, I'm learning a lot.

I'm happy to hear that.

We're here to train you.

But we won't get anywhere if you don't try.

No worries.

I'll try to concentrate more.

So I can count on you?

Yeah.

Well, I'll be off then. Sorry for disturbing you.

Thanks for taking the time.

So I'll see you tomorrow?

Yeah, tomorrow...

All right?

So... How are you feeling?

The pressure's mounting?

We're already sick of revisions.

How are you?

This is pretty.

- I've my swimsuit on too. - Good idea.

- I'll make some coffee. - Thanks.

It's good Mr. Corelli came by.

He seems nice.

He's nice to you, but actually he's an arsehole.

Stop it.

I found him perceptive.

Enzo?

Yes?

Everything okay?

Yeah, fine. Why?

Don't stay three hours in the shower.

Your brother's really built.

Totally.

- He's grown. - Shut up!

No one touches my brother.

I don't need your permission.

He is underage, though.

Yeah, I'll call the cops.

Right, guys, I'm going in!

We've worked enough.

You didn't come here to study at all...

- You're not swimming? - No, I can't be bothered.

Show me your hands. Not getting better?

It's ok, but the chlorine doesn't help.

Let's sort them out. Come on.

I don't understand, you're not stupid.

I'm sure if you went back to school, you'd easily catch up.

Can you listen to me for two minutes?

I am, but I know what you're going to say.

No, you don't.

Marion, please...

Sorry, I'm just checking an email.

Dinner looks good today.

There's a private school in Marseille that would really suit you.

It's a facility that takes drop-outs,

for kids like you, not suited to the traditional system.

I don't like that expression "drop-out".

How would you say it?

I'm just sick of these stupid expressions.

I'm not a drop-out, I was just bad at school.

You weren't bad. 'Bad' means nothing.

You just didn't make an effort.

I didn't understand anything.

Let's just say you don't always try.

You are a bit thick.

So, at this school,

you'd thrive with their teaching methods.

Forget about the baccalaureate. I care about your development.

Why do you keep insisting?

You won't convince him like that.

I have a student I like. The other day, we spoke about you.

He told me, at your age, he was failing school,

and that his teachers didn't believe in his future.

Well, something clicked.

Now he's a great PhD candidate.

That's your dream?

No, not that you do maths.

I just want you to have bigger ambitions. That's all.

Well you see, my ambitions are very small.
