Mon héroïne

Hello, everyone, and welcome.

This year our theme has been the future,

and some of the students want to share with you

the jobs they hope to have later on.

So let's go! Music!

Who do we have first? Ariel...

-Where have you been? -Car trouble.

-Again? -Yeah.

Are you okay, Mom?

And who do we have next?

Adèle, what do you want to be when you grow up?

Would it be lawyer?

Oh, yes, that's right!

Well done! That's a fine profession too.

Thank you, Adèle.

-Sit here, he's not coming. -Typical.

Is she ready?

She looks fantastic!

May the force be with me. Always.

Thank you, Milla.

Who's this, a young astronaut?

You're right, Noah. "Shoot for the moon.

"Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars."

Amel Bent?

No, Oscar Wilde. Good try.

And now let's welcome Alex.

Great, eh? Mom's idea.

That was your idea?

I'm so proud.

Alex, what will you be when you grow up?

I'll do the greatest job in the world.

Oh, shit!

Thanks, Alex.

When I grow up I'll be a movie director.

I'll go to New York,

in America, to make a movie

with Julia Roberts, the best actress in the world.

You're dressed like her in Pretty Woman, of course.

Have you seen Pretty Woman?

Yes, 27 times.

With Auntie, Mommy and Granny.

Very good. Thank you, Alex.

Give her a big hand!

Bravo!

I'm going to congratulate my granddaughter.

Not too many sweets!

What do you take me for?

And now Pierre-Jules!

What do you want to be?

A priest.

Good God!

Dressing your kid up as a hooker, you should keep quiet!

She's not a hooker, she's Julia!

Bravo!

Granny!

Kids, you were perfect!

Adèle, I'll have you as my defense lawyer.

Thanks.

Noah, I'm not afraid to shoot for the moon either.

The greatest princess in the galaxy, Milla.

Thanks.

And you, my love, I'm so proud.

Don't change a thing.

Ever!

I promise.

FATHER - Dressing your kid up as a hooker, you should keep quiet.

MATHILDE - She's not a hooker, she's Julia!

-Well? -Milla's there!

-Did I pass? -Yes!

I passed with honors!

Well, Alex?

All right?

Didn't you pass?

I'm sorry, sweetie.

-If you didn't, you didn't. -I did.

Did you or not?

Yes. -Yes?

-You did? -Not.

Yes or no? You're annoying!

Stop it!

Well done, sweetheart!

-You did pass? -Yes.

With... honors!

Did you all pass?

You did? Yes, you did!

Well done!

-A drink? -Yes, but quick. I have to get to work.

Mom, I love you. But this drink is without you.

Yes, of course, I'm gatecrashing. You'll celebrate without me.

-But you can drop us off. -With pleasure, my darling!

Thanks, ma'am.

Thanks, ma'am.

-Thanks, Mrs. Trofel. -Not Mrs. Trofel! Mathilde, please!

Mathilde?

-Another shift? -Yeah, I need the money.

-And Alex's graduation? -She passed.

-Great! -With honors.

-As well? -Oh, yes.

The cherry on top.

Mathilde.

-Yes? -A family member of yours is here.

Who?

Juju, what happened?

Nothing, I'm fine.

I asked you not to tell her.

She'll make a fuss.

-How did you do that? -I've had an X-ray, I'm fine.

I was doing a wheelie, my phone rang,

I let go of the handlebar...

Are you joking?

Yes, just a bit.

I slipped, that's all. Stupid!

Two wheels are stupid!

How about a unicycle, then?

Or a uni-slap?

I'm good, thanks.

The doctor says you can go. He's prescribed painkillers.

Thank you.

-No headache? -No, I'm fine.

You sure? Okay, I'll get to work.

Love you!

I love you too.

One pill every six hours, no more.

A pack every six hours.

-No, one pill. -One pill?

-That's not very many. -That's how it is!

-Have a nice day. -You too have a nice day.

Thank you.

Wait. She's taken a photo.

Don't show him!

It's okay, never mind.

To us graduating!

To us graduating, and Noah's miracle!

Noah, that is crazy!

I'll miss you all.

We'll all be in Rouen.

-We could be housemates. -Totally!

I'm not sharing a shower with Noah, no way!

I'd have loved to share a place with you all.

Oh, yes. Madam is going to Hollywood!

Did you get a response?

New York, not Hollywood. And no, I haven't heard back yet.

And have you told your mom?

Of course she hasn't.

Alex, tell me you have a plan B.

-What do you mean? -Look...

I want to be an astronaut, but it's highly unlikely I'll get to the moon.

And you, making a movie with Julia Roberts,

who's really vintage now...

-No, Noah. Cult. -Thanks.

-That's practically impossible. -Noah, we get it.

It's for her sake! We're from Rouen, she's an American star...

Hang on, Noah, what are you doing?

It's my dream. Just stop.

I'm going to dance.

New York Film Academy, how can I help you?

Hello, my name is Alex Trofel, and I'm calling from France.

So sorry to bother you, but I sent my application a while ago,

and I wanted to know the result because the letter never arrived.

I'm sorry, miss. This is not the way we do things.

Yes, I understand, but make an exception,

just to check the computer, check the list?

Please. It is very important to me.

Very sorry, miss. Have a good day.

Sorry, my ass! Bitch!

Shit!

Shit!

I have no idea!

Fuck!

A stranger approaches you in the street.

You smile at him, you run away, or you kiss him passionately?

-I smile. -You smile.

So that makes a total of...

yes, twenty-two squares.

You're a sensitive person who can be counted on,

but who's afraid of the unknown. That's totally you!

-Yeah? -Crazy, huh?

My turn.

Have you ever made love in a pool, in a hotel, with all your clothes on?

If I tick all three, it messes up the result. That's dumb!

I'll do it, anyway.
