Unsubmissives (Le Gang des Amazones)

In 1991, five young women were dubbed the Amazon Gang by the press.

This film recounts their story.

- Dad? - Yes.

- You OK? - I'm fine. You?

Is Mom working late?

Yes.

She's made you something to eat.

I'm not hungry.

I have to go.

- Will you get back late? - No.

- See you later. - Yes.

- Will you be seeing your sister? - Er... No.

Not today.

If you do, tell her we'd like to see her.

OK.

- Hi, Katy. - Hi, how are you?

Good, thanks.

You're still here!

Yeah, where do you want us to go?

- Remember what I said. - Chill.

- Seriously. - I got it.

- Hi. - How are you doing?

Fine.

- She's not here. - I know.

I was heading out to see my new boss.

I'll have some water.

You got a new job?

Yeah, as a trucker.

I'll do the leg between here and Frankfurt.

Good. Are you happy with it?

It's not bad.

Why are you here?

You touch her again, you're dead.

Excuse me?

What are you getting at?

You touch her again, you're dead.

Got it?

How are you doing? Good day?

- Are we eating at my parents'? - No, I'm out with the girls tonight.

- Yeah? - You can eat with the kids if you like.

So let's take our shoes off. Let's go.

What is it?

- It's about child benefit. - Everything OK?

Yeah.

Thomas, are you staying for dinner?

I don't know... Maybe.

Hi there.

- Hello. - You doing OK?

Hi Marie.

- Are you well? - Yes, you?

If you stay behind, I've got nappies, if you want.

Hello.

Carole?

Carole!

Everyone's saying you hang around with those...

With those what?

Ask your mother.

What do they say at the shop?

That she's hanging out with...?

I'm out.

I've had it. I've got to get out of here.

Ah, you smell so good!

- You sounded great. - Yeah.

- You're getting better. - Thanks.

- What was your dad saying? - Just spouting crap.

- Hi guys. - Hi Katy.

I'm sick of the same faces. Gotta get out of here.

- What are you doing here? - Playing.

What are you up to? Come on, beat it!

Let me finish my game.

- Budge! - Fine, but finish the round.

You're too young to be here.

- We're just playing. - I'm gonna get it from Dad.

- It's fine. - Just go home.

- Listen to your sister. - Hurry up.

And stop sighing. Too much of a diva to say hi now?

I didn't see you.

All good, Gilbert?

- Yeah, and you? - Fine.

- What's up? - Whose Porsche is that out front?

- The rich fucks'. - They just park it there like that?

- They'll be parking it in the hood soon. - I'd love to see that.

Can I get a cigarette off you?

Please.

I've had it with you.

Is that a lighter?

- How are you? - Not great.

Not great at all.

Something strong please.

- Her mom encourages it. - Who cares about this shit?

- Whose turn is it? - Her mom does.

Don't drop ash. My mom has to clean it up.

- Your mom works here? - Yeah.

- Of course she does! - I didn't know that.

Can I borrow your car?

Why?

Just to go for a spin.

Cars... The only thing you give a shit about.

Don't take the piss. I just want to go for a ride.

Then fine, go for a ride.

Thanks.

- How you doing? - I'm OK. You?

Not saying hello to my sister?

Hi.

Want a drink? No, I'm good.

Sure?

When will you see Mom and Dad?

If they want to see me, they know where I am.

I'm not far.

You know downtown is far for them. Stop.

Here.

- What time is it? - Nearly 4 o'clock.

Fuck, he's gonna fuck me up.

Just tell him you were babysitting for Hélène.

All night? He'll never buy it.

He won't touch you, trust me.

Wait, take this.

Babysitting money.

Thank you.

Everyone on the floor.

Freeze. Everyone on the floor.

Freeze. Everyone on the floor.

This is a hold-up.

Freeze. Everyone on the floor. This is a hold-up.

You! Head down, head down!

Hello. This is a hold-up.

Everyone freeze.

You can do this.

Come on, seriously.

Open the safe.

I said open the safe.

What did you say?

What did you say?

Open the fucking safe and everything will be OK.

Open the safe.

Go on, open the safe.

What's he doing? Open the safe!

There you go.

Thank you.

I've been waiting for you.

Why didn't you call?

I didn't want to wake you up.

So you're out all night now?

She paid me 100.

Where does she get her money from?

I don't know. I don't ask.

She's out all night and gives you 100 bucks to watch her kids?

Don't play dumb.

Hélène acts all high and mighty, but she's just a whore.

Good night.

Fatija! Phone!

Fatija! Telephone!

I'm coming.

I'm coming, Mom.

I've told you to stop calling me Fatija.

- What time is it? - It's 4 o'clock.

You're not going to get a job by sleeping all day.

And I won't get one with a name like Fatija.

- Hey, who is it? - It's Carole.

Are you serious?

I forgot all about you.

- No way. - I fell asleep.

- Where were you? - Sorry, I really was sleeping.

- You're unreal. - Can you give me a lift?

- Where? - To Carole's place.

- If not, I'll bring it back in an hour. - You're a pain. Give me the keys.

I didn't know they lived here.

It's on the right, just there.

What do her parents do?

They run the stationery shop in town, on the square.

If paper pays, we should start selling it too.

Maybe we should.

- How are you doing? - Fine.

Your parents have a pool but no suitcases.

Fuck off.

Just till we find a solution.

Why did I leave if I still have your shit to deal with?

OK, I get it. Bye.

- Seriously? - Carole!

Carole!

- Come back. She didn't mean it. - Come on.

I'll take the sofa.

You two are cockroaches...

I'm going to the toilet.

What happened? Did you run away again?

Here.

This is for you and Carole, OK?

- See you then, I'm off. - See you, Katy.

- Don't forget the meeting at the bank. - OK.

- Don't forget. - I won't.

- See you. - Bye.

- What is this? - Stop!

What is this? What have you done?

- Stop it! - What's in there?

What's in that head of yours?

Salima, enough!

Let me go, I'm gonna kill her!

You're dead! Have you no shame?

Calm down!

- When is she going to change? - Calm down!
