Short filmTranscript
00:00I tried to seduce my godfather for the first time, and he pressed his gun under my chin
00:04July 14th, Bastille Day, and the 10-year anniversary of my parents' murder
00:08Cold metal, burning palm, the cross tattoo on his hand was branded onto my skin like a mark
00:14You are crossing the line, Lola
00:16Stuck to the hollow below my collarbone, to the mole there, the one he'd seen when he bathed me 10
00:20years ago
00:21My legs tightened around his waist, through his towel
00:23Then kill me, or claim me
00:27I felt him harden
00:28Your choice, Uncle Asha
00:31The ocean crashed against the cliffs outside, same sound as that night 10 years ago
00:36I still remembered everything
00:39Count to 100, then I'll be back
00:52Since then, I never celebrated another birthday, and never looked forward to Summer
00:56Except for him flying back to the seaside villa every July to spend this damn anniversary with me
01:01Summer's here princess
01:02Then vanished into his study like I was something to be locked away
01:06But this year I was 18, legally adult, and physically, I knew I was ready
01:11The shower stopped, also stopped my heart, steam poured out, and there he was, 30 when he saved me, 40
01:18now, time had carved him, fine lines at the corners of his eyes, a sharper jaw
01:31Close enough to smell him, mint soap over tobacco and leather, the scent of him that haunted my dreams
01:36I caught his wrist, guided him toward the bed, felt the tension in his muscles
01:40I fell back onto the mattress, looking up at him
01:43Lola, I'm your
01:45I know who you are, the godfather
01:47My father's best friend, the man who raised me
01:49But remember that summer night?
01:51That summer night you saved me?
01:53It's not just my life
01:54You didn't just save my life, you stole my soul
01:57It's been yours ever since
01:58Then his hand moved, not to caress me
02:01To the pillow beneath my head
02:02Then the gun barrel pressed under my chin
02:04I didn't close my eyes
02:10That cross tattoo swam in my vision, the one I'd seen a thousand times over these 10 years
02:15Now this hand trembled
02:17I won't give up Uncle Asher
02:21Next summer, I'll be here
02:23Every year
02:25Until you say yes
02:33Silence crushed us
02:34Then he threw the gun
02:35He grabbed the sheet and roughly wrapped it around me
02:38Say that again
02:39And you'll learn what happens when you provoke me
02:41I sat on the bed
02:43Sheet clutched to my chin
02:44Counting my heartbeats
02:46I won't give up Uncle Asher
02:48Next summer
02:50I'll be here
02:51Every year
02:53Until you say yes
02:54I curled around it
02:56Buried my face in familiar fur
02:58Couldn't smell lavender
02:59Couldn't smell blood
03:00Only smelled myself
03:02Exactly like 10 years ago
03:04Three years later
03:05I gift wrapped myself and waited two hours
03:07Engagement ceremony in August
03:09What about your little girl?
03:10She had you every summer
03:11Time she learned independence, no?
03:15Uncle Asher
03:18Her gaze scraped over my bikini
03:21Lips curving in a knowing, venomous smile
03:24I'm Maxine Capone
03:26Your Uncle Asher's fiance
03:30Fiance
03:30The word detonated in my skull
03:32I looked at Asher
03:34Stiff
03:34Embarrassed
03:35When the hell did you get a fiance?
03:38Go change
03:39Now
03:40Oh relax darling
03:42No mother to raise her, poor thing
03:44No wonder she doesn't know how to dress like a decent woman
03:48But don't worry dear
03:49Once Asher and I marry
03:51Asher and Marrer
03:53I'll teach you some manners
03:57Don't you fucking touch this you bitch
04:04Lola I
04:11Poor little thing
04:14Pity she'll never learn her place
04:19I slammed my door
04:21Slid down the wood
04:22Spine hitting cold grain
04:23My cheek burned
04:24Not from the slap
04:25From my eyes
04:26Three years before he threw his gun
04:28Three years later he slapped me in the face
04:30Maxine entered with a perfect smile
04:32Carrying a glass
04:35Asher asked me to bring this
04:36He squeezed this lemonade himself
04:38Asked me to bring it
04:40I was deathly allergic to citrus
04:42He knew it well since he saved me 10 years ago
04:44No lemons, oranges, grapefruit in this villa
04:47Ever since I came here
04:48Last summer I ate one bite of lemon tart by accident
04:51He drove me to the hospital at 2am
04:53Holding my hand through three epinephrine shots
04:55He forgot or I took the glass
04:58Drank it dry under her gaze
05:00In the mirror I saw my own expression
05:02I knew what she'd done
05:03I knew he would save me
05:04I always knew
05:05Finished?
05:07Good girl
05:08Now go help prepare dinner
05:10Asher wants to see us getting along
05:12My fingers are starting to go numb
05:14My vision is blurring
05:16Saw my face in the mirror
05:17Pale
05:1815 minutes later
05:19I sliced cake in the kitchen
05:21Blade trembling
05:22Maxine and the maids blocked me from the living room
05:24Pretending busyness
05:25Their laughter needling my eardrums
05:27Maxine, how's the terrace view?
05:29Perfect for wedding details
05:33I heard Asher crash through the crowd
05:35Not walking
05:36Running
05:36Night 10 years ago
05:38Let me see
05:39Nothing
05:40It's just a small cut
05:42Does it still hurt?
05:47Still hurt?
05:49I wanted to say no
05:50But the allergic reaction hit full force
05:52Breathe
05:53Breathe with me
05:531
05:542
05:543
05:55I counted to 17
05:57Maxine started screaming that she was having a seizure
06:00Asher didn't look back
06:01I woke to his scent
06:02Tobacco
06:03Leather
06:04Dangerous and addictive
06:06Wake
06:06Maxine left
06:07The maids are gone
06:08Gone?
06:09Fired
06:10They almost killed you
06:12And Maxine?
06:13Your fiance?
06:14Business arrangement
06:15Caponi family needs Maseria ports
06:17I need
06:18Someone to manage my affairs
06:22Manage affairs?
06:23She just tried to kill me
06:25With lemonade
06:26I know
06:27You know?
06:28I know what she is
06:30I also know you drank it
06:32Knew I'd save you
06:33You always know
06:34Silence crushed us
06:36Waves outside
06:37Like that night
06:38You knew 3 years ago too
06:40Knew I'd lick that gun
06:42Knew I'd cum every summer
06:43Knew I'd
06:44Lola
06:45You know everything
06:47So did you know I've thought of you every day for 3 years?
06:50Know I rejected every man in college because they didn't have your crow's tea?
06:53Know I sleep with that Teggy bear every night pretending it's you?
06:56I'm not a little girl anymore, Uncle Asher
06:59I'm 21
07:01My body changed
07:06Lola, we can't
07:08Feel that?
07:09That's me
07:10All of me
07:11Not your little princess anymore
07:13Let me be your woman
07:15Just tonight
07:16Just now
07:17Tomorrow you can pretend nothing happened
07:20Marry Maxine
07:22Have your arrangement
07:23But tonight?
07:26His phone rang
07:27Maxine's name
07:28Eat something
07:30Rest
07:31I need to see my fiancee
07:33She needs me
07:34But you've never left me on summer vacation night
07:36This year the maids are gone
07:38I'm alone
07:38You're 21
07:39An adult, right?
07:40One night
07:41Endure it
07:42The door closed
07:43I lay down
07:44Buried my face in the teddy bear
07:47Sleepless
07:48Dawn breaking
07:49I decided to make him jealous
07:51Mia and Daniel
07:52Friends from college
07:53Dragged me to a beach club's back rooms
07:55They guaranteed
07:57Want to drive an old man crazy?
07:58Make him watch
07:59They pushed me on stage
08:01Where dozens of drunk men howled
08:03Strip little angel!
08:05Money rained like confetti
08:09Everyone turned
08:11Asher stood in the doorway
08:12He looked at no one
08:14Only me
08:15He strode to the stage
08:16Tore a stack of cash from his pocket
08:18Slapped it across the manager's face
08:21Take this stripper to VIP
08:22Now
08:23Private show
08:25I followed him down the hall
08:27Into the red room
08:28You like performing for men in places like this?
08:31Then perform for me
08:32Give me your full show
08:34I walked to him
08:35Draped the breadaloo
08:36Veil over our heads
08:38You taught me
08:40Don't tell me you forgot
08:41Outside
08:42Daniel's voice
08:43Lola
08:44Next bar
08:46Oops
08:47That's my boyfriend
08:48Gotta go
08:48He shot up
08:50Threw me over his shoulder
08:52Kicked open the door
08:53Daniel stood at the entrance
08:55Asher stopped
08:57This is your boyfriend?
08:59Jesus fucking
09:00My face burned crimson
09:01He threw me in the car
09:03Engine roared
09:04Silence crushed us until I exploded
09:06Why did you do that?
09:07You humiliated me in front of my friends
09:09I'm protecting my child from trouble
09:12I'm not a child!
09:14He slammed the brakes
09:16Then he turned
09:17Eyes holding something I'd never seen
09:19Vulnerability
09:20Sorry
09:21I know I shouldn't keep treating you like a kid
09:22But
09:24If you want me to see you as an adult
09:26First step
09:27Learn to drive
09:28Not that strip club bullshit
09:30I climbed over the console
09:32Sat in his lap
09:34His breath brushed my ear
09:36This is what adults do
09:37The car swayed on coastal highway for three hours
09:43Not out of control
09:44Deliberate
09:45Every turn
09:46His chest pressed my back
09:48Every shift
09:49His hand accidentally slid up my thigh
09:51I counted his heartbeat through my spine
09:54Faster than mine
09:55Watch the road
09:56Focus
09:57You're distracting me
09:59This is dangerous
10:00I'm teaching you
10:01Feel the engine
10:03Feel the speed
10:05This is what adults do
10:09We stopped him
10:10City lights spread below like scattered jewels
10:14I turned to find him smiling
10:16Real smile
10:17You look good smiling
10:18I mean
10:19You rarely smile
10:21You rarely make me this
10:24Uncontrolled
10:25The word hung between us
10:27Forbidden invitation
10:29Then he ruffled my hair like I was 12
10:32Drove me home
10:33Three days later
10:35They crucified me in lecture hall
10:37My presentation slides were placed with photos
10:39Strip club
10:40Champagne room
10:41Asher's hand on my leg
10:43His mouth on my ear
10:44The classroom erupted in laughter
10:46And screams
10:47Advanced stripper studies
10:50Lola is this your project
10:51I ran for the door
10:53They blocked me
10:55Mia
10:55Daniel
10:56Kylie
10:57Others
11:04Industrial glue pressing me to the wall like a specimen
11:07Mia dipped the brush in glue
11:09Viscous liquid dripping
11:10Admit it
11:11You're a despicable person
11:13Say it out loud
11:15Or you'll stay here all night with those bodies
11:19Glue burned my skin
11:21I screamed
11:28His eyes went dark
11:30He tore the fabric from my body
11:32You like this?
11:33Then picked up the glue brush
11:35Walked to Mia
11:38Let's see how you like being stuck
11:40He coated her mouth
11:42Her eyes widened
11:43Muckled screams
11:45That's how you learn to shut up
11:48Call police
11:50Call lawyers
11:51Call your rich daddy
11:53I don't care
11:54I wept in his arms
11:55Face buried in his shoulder
11:58I knew you'd come
12:01You always come
12:02He kissed my forehead
12:04Like that night
12:05But longer
12:06Long enough to count his heartbeat
12:08What I didn't know
12:10Maxine's plot started at the hospital
12:12Shelly
12:13My only real friend
12:14Pregnant
12:15Needed company
12:16I held her ultrasound
12:17In the hospital
12:18When masked men
12:19Dragged me to the morgue
12:20First thought
12:21At least Shelly's not here
12:23They slammed me
12:24On a cold gurney
12:25Fists to my ribs
12:26Who is expecting a child?
12:29One pressed the gun
12:30To my temple
12:33Tell us
12:34Or we will not let
12:36This pregnancy continue
12:37I looked at her
12:39Then I made a decision
12:42Me
12:42The biggest lie of my life
12:46I'm pregnant
12:47The truest sacrifice
12:49Asher burst in as an off blood
12:51Asher's face
12:53Shock
12:54Then something complex breaking
12:56I'll raise your baby Lola
13:00But you've been with the wrong men
13:02There are consequences
13:03That's what you think of me?
13:05Some low class person
13:07Who's been with everyone?
13:11He carried me to emergency
13:13Save her!
13:15Save her!
13:16She's losing the baby!
13:17The doctor looked at him
13:18Confused
13:19What baby?
13:20She's not pregnant
13:22It was Shelly
13:24She's pregnant
13:25I was just
13:25Keeping her company
13:27He misunderstood
13:28Thought I was pregnant
13:30Then miscarried
13:31Then a new doctor
13:32Entered with my chart
13:33Miss Bruno
13:34We ran some tests
13:35There's something you should know
13:38Stomach cancer
13:39Late stage
13:40Three months
13:42You have three months
13:44I didn't tell Asher
13:46Instead
13:47I pushed him away
13:48Let him believe I was with Joe
13:50His nephew
13:51Just returned from Italy
13:53We kissed in front of him
13:55Walked in gardens
13:56Watched stars from terraces
13:57I mowed with Joe in the bathroom
13:59Listening to Asher's footsteps
14:01Shattering outside
14:02Imagining his face
14:03That thing suppressed for ten years
14:05Finally cracking
14:06Then breaking
14:07I told the mirror
14:09Happy summer vacation
14:11Tears and smile mixing
14:12This is the last gift I can give you
14:15Maxine's engagement party
14:17I attended as family
14:19Maxine's chosen dress
14:20Her delivered invitation
14:21Her designed humiliation
14:23She waited in the dressing room
14:25Holding a white wedding gown
14:26Try this
14:28I want my future daughter's opinion
14:31I knew the trap
14:32New sheet sabotaged my original dress
14:34Cut straps
14:35Spilled wine
14:36Left me no choice
14:38But I put it on
14:39Perfect
14:40Mirror showed me
14:41Pale
14:42Gaunt
14:42Waist too tight
14:43Chest too low
14:45Crude imitation
14:46Maxine stood behind
14:48He'll love it
14:49Adjusting my veil
14:50Fingers tracing my nape like snakeskin
14:52The ballroom doors opened
14:54Music stopped
14:56200 heads turned like 200 guns cocking
14:59Missouri black suits
15:01Capone red ties
15:02Blood and ink under lights
15:03I saw Asher stage left
15:05Champagne glass
15:06Then Maxine's voice through speakers
15:08Please welcome my future daughter
15:10Lola Bruno
15:12To give her blessings
15:13I walked on stage
15:16Heels too high
15:17I stumbled
15:18Caught the microphone
15:20Flash bulbs like gunfire
15:22I closed my eyes
15:24Look!
15:25I'm taking this dress off
15:28Right now!
15:29Rip
15:29Fabric from chest to waist
15:31Stood in white lingerie
15:33Before everyone
15:34So back off
15:35And stop touching my godfather
15:37Silence
15:38Crushing the ballroom
15:40This is Macias' insult
15:41Our bride upstaged
15:43By
15:44By what?
15:45A little girl?
15:46Or your own stupidity?
15:47Guns drawn
15:48Forest branches snapping
15:50Asher rushed up
15:51His black suit jacket wrapped me
15:53Palm against my back
15:55Lola
15:56Come with me
15:57Me
15:58I'm a curse
15:59I ruined everything
16:00Your alliance
16:01Your business
16:02Your
16:03I don't care
16:04You should've let me die
16:05Under that piano
16:0612 years ago
16:07At least then you'd be whole
16:09I ran to the exit
16:11Someone stood at the door
16:13Joe
16:13Asher's nephew
16:15Wanna escape the circus?
16:19Lola!
16:21I didn't look back
16:22Joe's car
16:23Old Alfa Romeo
16:24Engine growling like caged beast
16:26He offered a cigarette
16:28I shook my head
16:29He smiled
16:31Held it unlit in his own lips
16:32Where to?
16:34Anywhere
16:35As long as it's not with him
16:36But I lied
16:38Every place without him was abyss
16:41I found work in an underground casino
16:43Didn't need money
16:45Needed to disappear
16:46To make him forget me
16:48To not be his burden before dying
16:51Provence summer ended
16:53I drifted to next
16:54Then Marseille
16:55Finally this port edge casino
16:57Dim lights
16:57Sweat and desperation in the air
16:59The manager asked if I was a virgin
17:01I said yes
17:03His eyes lit
17:04Wolf finding prey
17:06Virgin meat
17:07Starting 5,000
17:09Who wants her first?
17:10They caged me
17:11Chains cutting wrists
17:13Bits hit 80,000
17:14When I started coughing blood
17:16Cancer
17:17Stress triggered
17:18Blood at my lip
17:19Dripping on dirty floor like dead flour
17:21Good
17:22I thought
17:23This way
17:24At least he won't know
17:25Then the door exploded
17:29Not opened
17:30Exploded
17:31Wood splinters
17:32That night
17:33Piano room door shredding
17:34Screams
17:36Running
17:36Then
17:37Silence
17:37Asher stood in smoke
17:39Killing intent I'd never seen
17:41Black trench coat bloodied
17:43Not his
17:44His men cleared the room
17:46Dragged everyone
17:47Including the manager
17:48Out like garbage
17:49He knelt at my cage
17:51Hands shaking
17:53Unlocking
17:53That cross tattoo swimming
17:55In vision
17:5610 years ago
17:573 years ago
17:58Every time he saved me
17:59Lola sorry
18:00I'm late again
18:02I collapsed into his arms
18:04Buried my face in his shoulder
18:05Tobacco and leather
18:07Exactly like 10 years ago
18:08Wept
18:09Soaking his shirt
18:10Pouring out lifetime's grievance
18:12He kissed me
18:13Not gentle
18:14Not tentative
18:16Desperate
18:16Devouring
18:1710 years of suppression
18:18Flooding out
18:19We collapsed on the poker table
18:21Chip scattering
18:22Clothes tearing
18:23His lips bruising mine
18:24Like confirming I was alive
18:26Here
18:26His
18:27I love you
18:28Should've said it
18:29Don't leave me
18:31I can't live without you
18:33Our first time
18:34On the dirty table
18:35Under death's shadow
18:36After 10 years of taboo
18:38His palm covered my eyes
18:40Blocking out the world
18:41Leaving only us
18:42I counted his heartbeat
18:43Faster than mine
18:44Count to 100
18:45I'll come back
18:4837
18:48I counted to 37
18:50He kissed my forehead
18:52To 68
18:53I won't let you die
18:55To 100
18:56I was already weeping
18:57The days that followed
18:59Were stolen
18:59We hid in the seaside villa
19:01Like fugitives
19:02He postponed all business
19:04Threw his phone in the sea
19:05Wasted time with me
19:06Teaching cooking
19:093am swimming
19:13Sunrise watching on terrace
19:16I'll find the best doctors
19:18You'll beat this Lola
19:19I swear
19:20I just smiled
19:22Didn't let him see me
19:24Coughing blood in bathrooms
19:25Didn't let him find
19:26The increasing painkillers
19:28Didn't let him know
19:29I'd started arranging after
19:30A letter for him to open
19:32When I was gone
19:33A teddy bear for our child
19:35If there could be one
19:36July 14th
19:38My birthday
19:39Parents death anniversary
19:41He gave me a box
19:42Headphones
19:43Exactly like 10 years ago
19:45Even the wear marks matching
19:47Listen to this
19:48Count to 100
19:49I'll come back
19:50New song in the headphones
19:52Summer of 69
19:53Rearranged
19:54Slower
19:55Gentler
19:56Distant
19:57I counted to 37
19:59He kissed my forehead
20:00Burning like 10 years ago
20:02To 68
20:03Marry me
20:04To 100
20:06I nodded
20:07Tears dripping on his hand
20:09Like contract
20:10But Maxine didn't give up
20:12She locked down the venue
20:14At graduation
20:15My university ceremony
20:16I hadn't wanted to attend
20:18But Asher insisted
20:20You need a normal life
20:21Even if it's pretend
20:23She held a gun
20:25Played the video of us
20:26On the poker table
20:27Screen showing us
20:28Collapsed in chips
20:29Clothes torn
20:30Two wounded beasts
20:32The crowd screamed
20:33Vomited
20:33Photographed
20:34Then she forced me
20:36And four bullies
20:36Mia
20:37Daniel
20:37Kylie
20:38Harry
20:39To play Russian roulette
20:40Four flanks
20:41One live
20:42Four lives
20:43Her rules
20:45Her game
20:46I spun
20:47I spun four times
20:48Each time
20:49Empty chamber
20:50Cold metal
20:51Click of cylinder
20:52Death's breath
20:53Familiar
20:54That night 10 years ago
20:56Hiding under piano
20:57Counting gunshots
20:59Waiting for his return
21:00Now I spun for myself
21:02Then I handed her the gun
21:04I played your game
21:05Now unlock the door
21:06Let innocence go
21:08Or I end you now
21:09She froze
21:11Gun trembling in her hand
21:12Like his gun
21:13Three years ago
21:15Why don't you kill me
21:17I killed your parents
21:20Designed everything
21:21I hate you
21:23I know
21:23But holding grudges
21:25It kills you slower than any bullet
21:27Go
21:28Live
21:29The door slammed open
21:31Asher rushed in
21:33Gun in hand
21:33His face contorted with fear
21:35Not fear of death
21:36But fear of loss
21:39Maxine laughed
21:40Hollow
21:41Knowing
21:42Distant
21:43She looked at Asher
21:44Her eyes revealing something
21:46I couldn't decipher
21:47She pressed the gun to her temple
21:49Fast
21:50Seizing last control
21:51You win
21:54Three years later
21:56Asher knelt at the cemetery gravestone
21:58Placing white gardenias
22:00Engraved
22:01John and Mary Bruno
22:02Forever in our hearts
22:03Three years
22:07She fought hard you know
22:11Talking to ghosts again?
22:13He whipped around
22:14I stood there
22:15White dress
22:16Hair grown back
22:17Alive
22:18Chemo had taken it all
22:20Now returned
22:21Miracle
22:22Late stage stomach cancer
22:24Reversed by experimental drug
22:26Less than 5% chance
22:27But he found it
22:28Spent everything
22:30Stopped at nothing
22:32Lola?
22:35Mom
22:36Dad
22:38I did it
22:39Because of him
22:40I love Asher
22:42More than life
22:43I wish you were here
22:44To bless us
22:45Asher pulled me
22:47Into his arms
22:48Held so tight
22:49I couldn't breathe
22:50His heart beat in my ear
22:51Faster than mine
22:52Like 10 years ago
22:54Like 3 years ago
22:55Like every time
22:56He saved me
22:56Our child
22:57Conceived before chemo
22:59Miracle of miracles
23:00Shelly my bridesmaid
23:02Holding her baby
23:03Now sweetly calling me auntie
23:05Asher waited at the altar
23:06Asher Masera
23:08Asher Masera
23:09Do you take Lola Brunin
23:10As your wife?
23:11I do
23:11Until death do us part
23:13And beyond
23:14Lola Brunin
23:15Do you take Asher Masera
23:17As your husband?
23:18I do
23:18My miracle
23:19My godfather
23:21We exchanged rings
23:23We kissed
23:24Deep
23:24Unhurried
23:25Spending lifetime
23:26In one moment
23:30Seaside Villa
23:31Night
23:32Not July 14th
23:33August
23:34Our child
23:35One month old
23:36Fireplace crackling
23:38Though summer
23:38Didn't need warmth
23:39Asher insisted
23:41Fire makes people
23:42Feel safe
23:43Record player spinning
23:44Summer of 69
23:45Live version this time
23:47Guitar noisy and warm
23:48Distant
23:50Asher rocked our newborn
23:52Small red flannel bundle
23:54Movements clumsy
23:55Handling something fragile
23:57But eyes soft as never
23:58Seeing such miracle
23:59I curled beside him
24:01Head under his chin
24:02One hand on the baby
24:04Feeling his heartbeat
24:05Faster than mine
24:06Hear that?
24:08Your first summer song
24:09Like the one that saved me
24:12Asher kissed my forehead
24:13Burning like 10 years ago
24:15Like 3 years ago
24:16Like every time he saved me
24:17Then baby's soft head
24:19Passing lifetime's promise down
24:21Our miracle
24:22Right here
24:23The three of us
24:24We swayed together
24:26Slow
24:27Baby's breathing even
24:28Like contract
24:29Outside
24:31Summer waves
24:32Meet the cliffs
24:32Like 10 years ago
24:33Like 100 years ago
24:35Like forever
24:36Summer of 69
24:37Melody drifted into distance
24:39Like singing out
24:40Lifetime story
