Elina!
Ama! Ama! Ama!
Close your eyes, concentrate on the rhyme
Feel the energy flowing into us all
You put your fears in the closet, keep away
The whole crew is on fire, we're gonna party
We rip it up, we kick ass, it's gonna hurt
I wanna hear you roar for my buddy...
Elina!
Come on, Elina!
I have something on my heart
Maybe you'll blame yourself
I'm sitting on a windowsill Almost falling out
It's your neglect that is pushing me down
The one that will tear you apart
Good thing you've got friends to cry to
When my profile is turned into a memorial page
And tears are nothing but GIFs
I look down to the black asphalt
At least there's something to catch me
You'll bring me candles, say how you loved me
In the anonymous threads they are talking shit about me
The headlines will blame my dad
But who needs a father when you've got friends
Having your back, but don't say it out loud
They'll all hug you in the candle light
I'm no gentle breeze, I'm a tornado
I'm no beautiful memory, I'm the destiny
I'm no glimmering wave, I'm a tsunami
I'll drag you down to hell with me
A strange look in the eyes, neck's all twisted
Don't look back now, the wind is changing
When I return, I'll be a deadly disease
Just one tip, don't forget to close your window
Mom...
Can you go in your own bed?
Please, Elina, I'm too tired.
I have to return the keys.
Are you coming?
I can take that.
- Did Amanda come? - No.
She can come visit us down south when she likes.
Yes, she's so rich,
she can fly to the Riviera every weekend!
Audrey...
Mom...
What're you doing?
Jeez...
- Should I stop? - No.
Move.
Stop it! No!
Honey? Sorry I couldn't meet you. I was waiting for the workmen.
Well, we're all here now.
You're so beautiful!
Good to see you.
- Did you have a good trip? - Yes.
Elina! I'm so pleased to see you.
You must be so excited to be here.
I'll show you around.
Is that all you got?
- You'll see, it's on its way. - Oh, OK.
The rest is on its way.
Hello.
The work's running late.
I'm sorry, but you'll have to share
Sofia's room.
Here we are.
Yours isn't finished.
I hope you like pink!
I'll leave you to it.
Sorry I couldn't come.
I don't like goodbyes.
I hope everything's OK. I miss you.
Let's go further up.
Hello, sir.
Enjoy the show.
You know I hate ballet, right?
Yes, we got that.
That's Sofia.
Bye, girls.
Hey, you were perfect.
No, I fuckin' sucked.
Stop it. It was great.
No, it was shit. I messed it all up.
I'll get a bad grade.
You're too hard on yourself.
Sofia, here's my Elina.
Hey.
Congratulations. You were great.
Just amazing.
Bravo, what an artist!
- Really. - Thanks.
Stretch your arm out more.
That's it.
Yes!
Come on!
You should come visit me in Hamburg.
The play is almost finished.
I'll have more time.
I don't know.
This time, I promise...
I'll block my calendar so I have time for you.
Well...
As long as I don't have to sit in a dark basement and watch some weird plays.
You got it! OK!
So only regular plays then?
So how's your mother?
Has she turned into a housewife or is she still doing translations?
I think she's working on a book at the moment.
- I gotta go. - Oh, OK. I also have to...
Hey.
Facetime?
Sorry, I totally forgot! How about tomorrow?
Sofia?
- What's wrong? - It's nothing.
Anything I can do?
- Want me to go get help? - No.
Fuck... I have arrhythmia. But it's nothing serious.
Oh, shit!
What the hell's wrong with me?
I've done hundreds of shows like this.
Breathe with me.
It's OK, it'll pass.
I have to go back.
- Are you sure? - Yeah.
Don't tell anyone.
Come on.
- You honor us with your presence! - It's fine.
Take your time!
Where were you?
- It starts in a minute. Hurry. - I know. Elina can help.
Come on.
There's a quick change after Part 1.
I'll show you what you need to do.
Come on.
Pull it tight.
Sofia
I could do anything for you
You are my everything Sometimes I get lost
Sofia...
Who can do everything for you?
Joy and sorrow go hand in hand
Elina...
Want to come with me?
Where to?
I need some fresh air.
Marc and I, we just hook up.
I'm not interested in anything serious.
I don't think you can own anyone.
Hey.
You good?
Yeah.
- This is Elina. - Hey.
Hi.
What's happening tonight?
Dunno.
We'll probably go to Théo's.
His parents aren't back yet?
No.
Can we come, too?
Sure.
What do you want to do?
I don't know. Whatever you want.
I'm beat. And Theo lives really far away. Want to stay here?
- Marc, let's go. - Yeah.
- Going already? - Yeah, we've been here ages.
I never saw anyone dance like you.
Do you think so?
The way you move is...
simply magical.
Everyone does the same choreography,
but you're the only one people notice.
That's sweet.
I'm afraid they don't see it like that in my school.
They have something against me.
I expect you want to turn pro.
Why don't you join a company?
Well, I have to finish the school year, to start with.
And...
I have to pass my exams.
It's not easy.
But if you had the choice...
which one would you choose?
Hang on.
Which one would I choose?
Maybe I'd go...
to Tel Aviv.
to Batcheva.
New York, of course.
Or...
There's a great company in Hamburg I really like.
Hamburg?
- My dad lives there. - Really?
Cool!
Noa Brim works there.
She's an amazing choreographer. I love her stuff.
So it's settled, then.
Move to Hamburg to work with her.
And you can live at my dad's.
It'd be weird.
Don't worry. I'd come with you.
What does your dad do?
He writes plays.
And... So?
What?
You're not a fan, are you?
Frankly...
His plays are...
shit.
Really? That bad?
Thanks.
It's like...
in his last play...
the guy kills his kid as she's too clingy.
Guess what her name is.
No way!
No!
Yep. Elina!
For real? Fuck!
I swear.
He even kept my name.
He didn't respect you at all.
I'm sorry, but honestly...
You make me lose my words Just a smile drives me crazy
Yes, I admire everything about you You make me fear death
Your elegance makes me feel clumsy Who could stay indifferent to you?
Jealousy threatens me With you, I'm quite different
Elina?
Can you tell my dad I went to rehearsals?
No problem.
Thanks.
Hey, Sofia?
I wrote a song. Wanna hear it?
Yeah...
When I saw you dancing, with the music and all,
it really inspired me.
Is the song long?
2 minutes tops.
Go on, then.
- If you're in a hurry... - No, don't worry.
Go on.
- Ready? - Yeah.
It's great.
It's cool.
Shit! I gotta go.
Send it to me, so I can listen to the rest.
Bye!
Can you delete the song I sent you?
It wasn't finished.
Can you delete it?
ОК.
Excuse me.
Yeah, what?
I'm Alien.
I'm here for the Open Mic.
Alien? What's up?
Can I give you my instrumentals?
Didn't you bring your DJ?
No...
Hey, don't worry, I'm joking!
I don't wanna work I'm selfish, I'm nonchalant
Nonchalant in all I do
I'm nonchalant in all I do
I'm nonchalant I drink my booze
Smoke my spliff
That was Joker Not Joking!
DLV is in the house. You know it, man.
The evening's just getting started.
Guys, are you up for this?
Open Mic. Rap. Beatbox.
MC. DJ. Special hip-hop! It's gonna be good...
Alien, where are you going? You're on.
Hey, come back.
Show her some love. Make some noise for...
Alien!
It's gonna be good, it's gonna be cool!
Yeah, I'm Alien.
This is a new song.
I'm still working on it. It's not finished.
But it's a song about...
Sorry.
I'll start.
You make me lose my words
You make me...
Your elegance makes me feel clumsy Who could stay indifferent to you?
Jealousy threatens me With you, I'm quite different
I'd like to protect you From all those who'll make you suffer
Let's go hide under the roof To overcome the worst
No one sees you how I see you No "like" will save us
When you avoid me; I brood In my head there's too much vice
I'm ready for anything, I'm impatient And your distance can cost me
Between dance and music There's your silences and my verses
I do arabesques so that you'd love me So that you'd see me, I do shit
I give you a hard time, but it's for your own good
'Cause I'll never let you down
Sofia
I could do anything for you
You are my everything Sometimes I get lost
Who can do everything for you? Love and hate, they go hand in hand
Guys, you can do better than that!
Hey, sweetie, can you do me a favor
and get something from 51 Rue Forville?
It's really important. There's a big party tonight.
We can both go if you want. Kiss kiss!
Hey.
Listen, what you did was fantastic. That song is great.
Thanks.
Your accent. Where are you from?
- Finland. - Cool.
You on Insta?
Yeah.
I work for a hip-hop festival in Nice.
It's not big, but...
we want more women, non-binary people, all communities.
So cool!
So are you doing anything now? Wanna join us?
Shit! I can't, I gotta go.
Are you sure?
Yeah, sorry.
OK, never mind.
- See you around. - Yeah, see you.
'Evening.
Come in.
OK.
So what did she say?
What did they say?
I need precise answers.
Yes?
Sorry. Sofia asked me to come.
No, no, no way!
We don't need her, she needs us.
Use that! Turn down that shitty music!
I wanna close this fucking deal!
Here.
Take it.
Hey, I'm just messing with you.
You look at me like I'm a monster.
Here.
Tell Sofia to come herself next time,
OK?
You got it?
Fuck!
- What? - I asked for MDMA.
This is ecstasy.
I can't take ecstasy. Last time, I thought I'd die.
I didn't know. He just gave me that.
Here.
You can take it. But they put all kinds of shit in it. So it's not safe.
Next time,
he wants you to go.
By the way, tonight...
you can come, but I won't hold your hand all night.
Marc's going, too, so...
If we... Well, you know what I mean.
Elina, let's go.
Hope we're not the first to arrive.
You'll see, the house is so cool.
Welcome.
- Hey! - I was looking for you.
- Sorry, we were running late. - That's OK.
Elina, meet Caroline.
One of the coolest girls in our school, she's super talented!
And she's hot as fuck!
You look so hot tonight. Unreal!
- I love your look. - Thanks.
- Want a drink? I'm going to the bar. - Sure.
- See you soon! - Yeah, later.
You know that Caroline's dad is filthy rich?
He's a politician. He has a huge seafront place.
Wait here for a minute.
- How are you? - Good, you?
Great.
Want a smoke?
Got what I asked for?
Come on.
I'll let you try something.
OK.
Let's find somewhere quiet. Act natural.
I don't wanna be seen.
Hang on.
There's good. Come on.
Hold this for me.
It's good stuff, you'll see.
This is even purer than ecstasy.
Drink right away.
OK, hold this for me.
How long does it take to kick in?
- You've never had any before? - No.
I could have, but...
You'll see, you'll love it!
You'll fall in love with everyone.
That's how I feel anyway.
Your body, the sensations - it's crazy!
It's so cool. You'll love it.
I took it once before going on stage. I never danced so well.
You'll see.
I'll have the rest.
It makes you feel so self-confident.
Oh, fuck!
What?
It's Marc.
He's not coming?
No.
He shouldn't treat you like that.
Honestly...
Yeah, you're right.
Hey, come on.
- Where to? - Just come on!
C'mon!
Hey, girls.
Hi.
- You OK? - Yeah.
This is Elina.
Hi there.
- She raps. - Does she?
- You don't believe me? - Sure I do.
She's really good.
If you say so.
I'll be right back.
So who does your beats?
I do.
I mean, your instrumentals. Who composes them?
- I do. - OK.
Where's Sofia?
Over there.
- Turn off the music. - No.
- Why do you still have it? - It's OK. Everyone's listening.
Enjoy it. OK?
It's OK.
...From all those who'll make you suffer Let's go hide under the roof
To overcome the worst
No one sees you how I see you No "like" will save us
When you avoid me, I brood In my head there's too much vice
I'm ready for anything, I'm impatient And your distance can cost me
Between dance and music There's your silences and my verses
I do arabesques so you love me So you see me, I do shit
I cause you pain, but it's for your own good
'Cause I'll never let you down Sofia
I could do anything for you
You are my everything Sometimes I get lost
Sofia
Who can do everything for you? Love and hate...
Sorry.
Do you want another drink?
Let me show you a place.
- Are you OK? - Yeah.
Watch your step.
What are you doing here?
Elina?
I don't feel so good.
I don't feel good.
You wish I was dead.
You want me to die.
Elina.
It'll be OK.
You'll see, it'll be OK.
Fuck! Shit!
What's wrong?
I have a class.
It's Sofia. She loves cock!
She won't let go of it!
Sofia, we need to talk.
Fuck!
The video is everywhere. Everyone's seen it!
I don't understand...
Who did that?
Give me your phone. I need to call Marc.
Give me your phone!
Give it to me.
Elina, give me your fuckin' phone!
Hurry up!
What's your code?
Oh, fuck!
Don't touch me!
Shit!
- Sofia... - Get off me, OK? Don't touch me!
Stop it...
Get off me! Stop it!
She shouldn't have put herself in that situation.
What? You can be so heartless.
She didn't bring this on herself. She's the victim here.
They kicked her out. Is that fair?
They didn't kick her out.
They just asked her to take a break. For her own good.
"In these circumstances, the school regrets to inform you
that it can no longer provide..." blah, blah, blah...
She's persecuted, and they do nothing.
- They ask her to leave. Absurd! - Audrey!
Don't go.
- I'm done for. - We'll find a solution.
I don't know...
Come to Micky's class.
Hi, Elina.
Hey.
Thanks.
I haven't seen you since the party.
Look what Caro gave me.
That's cute.
Where's Micky's class?
My dad rented a studio.
His class is good, but it's lonely compared to school.
- What a bunch of assholes! - Yeah.
Elina.
Please...
- Want me to get her? - No.
Sofia!
Sofia, come on. We're eating.
Coming!
There's tiramisu for dessert.
- Did you send those applications? - No.
Not yet.
What about putting mimosa by the wall?
Wouldn't that be nice?
So you're not even trying?
Karim...
Gonna stay in your room, whining all year?
Fill out those applications.
Or you don't give a shit. It's not hard to do.
I'm ashamed of you.
Hold on to me!
You got no balance!
Sure I got balance!
I can 6 pirouettes, OK?
Exactly.
Yeah, let's do it.
Great, my dear chap. I just can't wait.
Yeah, see you next week. I'll pick you up.
Yeah, see you then.
I'm not paid for 3 students.
Can you wait outside?
Caroline?
If you had to, how would you kill yourself?
What?
We watch lots of crime series at the moment.
Seriously, how would you do it?
I don't know.
Pills?
I see.
You play it safe.
Well, me...
I'd like someone to put a gun in my mouth and...
shoot.
- You? - Oh, me...
I'd like something grandiose.
I'd jump out a window and get impaled on a spike
and spill blood and guts everywhere.
You're really bizarre.
Me?
Bizarre?
No doubt about it.
Stop it. Gross!
No, no, stop it!
No, get off me, dammit!
Fuck!
Let me fall.
Going already?
I'm meeting my cousin.
- It was cool. - Yeah.
- See you tomorrow for class. - Yeah. I'm so happy.
Me too.
- I can't believe it. - What?
We're both auditioning for a school
in Hamburg.
My dad can arrange a place for us.
Tell Karim it's OK.
Awesome!
Imagine if we both get in.
It's funny.
We just talked about it.
When?
At the skate park.
You don't remember?
You must have smoked too much.
- I'm going. - Bye.
Elina!
Come here!
Is there something going on between you and Sofia?
What do you mean?
No, nothing.
You seemed so upset the other day.
Never mind.
Can I shower at your place?
- You live nearby, right? - Sure.
I could rap about pain Resist the hate
I'll never be the queen, bitch
I could slap thousands of MCs Women are only good for washing dishes
A difficult past, shut your mouth if you're not from the hood
On the way to reviews On the shoulders, high is the head
You know it real well.
It's all about practice, my dear.
Practice...
Just you.
Why?
I thought you didn't like me.
What? Why?
I dunno. It's stupid.
Yes, it is.
Sit like a queen.
A queen doesn't smile.
Actually...
Like that.
What are you doing?
Hey, it'll look good. Don't worry.
Look into the camera.
Try to relax.
No, something's missing.
Take your top off.
- What? - Take your top off.
We won't post them.
Don't worry.
That's it. Good.
Move your hands.
You're so pretty.
Caress yourself.
Caroline...
What?
What is it?
I don't know how to tell you...
Sofia doesn't want you to go to Hamburg with her.
What?
She wouldn't dare to tell you,
but she said she feels uncomfortable with you.
That can't be...
You smother her.
I don't understand. The other day...
I'm really sorry.
Move your hands.
Imagine if I sent this video to the school in Hamburg by mistake.
You're so pretty.
Or worse...
Imagine if someone sent this video to a magazine.
Caress yourself.
Your dad's a politician, isn't he?
Don't worry.
I'd never do that.
But you should forget about Hamburg and leave Sofia alone.
Stop following her like a dog.
Respect yourself.
Hi, Caro. Can you wait a second?
Sorry, I'm packing. What's up?
Calm down. I don't understand a word.
Stop crying.
What?
This isn't a joke?
Shit!
I'll work something out.
Yes, OK, bye.
Fuck! Shit!
Caro was invited to an audition in London.
She can't go to Hamburg.
I leave tomorrow. I have nowhere to stay. What'll I do?
Shit!
- You know what we could do? - What?
I'll come with you. We'll stay at my dad's.
Really?
Yes. I'll call him right away.
Come here.
Oh, wow!
Thanks!
- You'll beat 'em all. - I hope so. We'll see.
If it's not this one, there'll be another.
- I'm so stressed. - Don't be. They chose you.
I can take care of us.
Dad?
I can see us living here.
Yeah.
- How does it open? - Here.
Thank you.
Thanks.
You took down the poster of Stalin?
The joke was getting old.
The genocide and everything...
Stop it!
Stop!
Stop here.
Hello and welcome.
I asked my dad if the two of us could live here.
I think it'll work.
We could rent an AirBnB sometimes
if we feel too cramped here.
I've...
already had a look.
They're not very expensive.
I don't know. If I get in, I'll have to practice a lot.
But...
I won't bother you.
- I can do the... - Stop it.
What'll you do here?
Rap? Do you really think that'll work?
If I get in, I'll be living in the boarding house.
Fuck.
This shitty apartment is freezing.
Fuckin' radiator!
Are you crying?
I need to get some rest.
Go on the sofa. I can't sleep with you crying.
Fuck's sake.
Go on, move!
Sofia: Can you come? I'm freaking out!
I'm gonna mess this up! I need you!
You're insane.
It's MDMA.
I got some for you.
You told me it makes you dance amazingly well.
This is different.
You really think you can do without?
You need confidence, right?
So here's your confidence.
- More. - No.
- Stop it. - A bit more.
Fuck...
You can't come in.
Flow, flow, codeine Flow, flow, protein
My flow is too hot My flow needs rewinding
Sorry, I'm late.
Hello. Sofia Rami.
Invited by...?
Alien.
ОК.
Make some noise
for Alien!
Are you sure you want to stay?
You make me lose my words Just a smile drives me crazy
Yes, I admire everything about you You make me fear death
Your elegance makes me feel clumsy Who could stay indifferent to you?
Jealousy threatens me With you, I'm quite different
I'd like to protect you I know the two of us are for life
Let's go hide under the roof
To overcome the worst
No one sees you how I see you No "like" will save us
I cause you pain, but it's for your own good
I wipe away your tears
Yeah, I've done things I regret Our bond comes at a price
Between dance and music There's your silences and my verses
I do arabesques so that you'd love me So that you'd see me, I do shit
I do you wrong for your own good 'Cause I'll never let you down
Sofia
It's the role of your life
You're an angel in hell
You dance, but the backdrop is upside down
Molly makes you see things that aren't real
Your hidden side makes me feel sick My protection becomes more dangerous
Sofia, if I hurt you It's 'cause I make mistakes too
You need no one to pull you down You need me to pick you up
Need you, need to feel you We both feel it, right?
It's destiny Us two, we're destiny
Others wanna test us
I hear them bitching about you
In pain, we yell We love each other
And we hate each other
But I'll never let go of you
If I control myself Who will console you then?
Without you, I have no compass Don't try to grow without me
The opposite, Sofia I don't recommend it
The two of us is a contract Why destroy us a hundred times?
Sofia
I could kill for you
You're my everything Sometimes I hate us
Sofia
I could die for you
Shout it out: Sofia, I love you
She's with me.
I'm really happy you came.
I thought you'd never want to speak to me again.
I thought so too.
OK, guys, we gotta be out by 1 o'clock. The truck is outside, waiting.
We gotta load up. Let's go.
Sorry.
We gotta pack up. It won't take long.
