It all started some time ago,
A thought crossed my mind,
I thought of all the animals and
all the people who eventually die,
Like daddy,
mom,
Jorre,,,
and me,
Sat !
Sat,
Are you playing with us?
Jorre!
- It cracked, - Where ? The ?
Sorry,
We call the SAMU? Or mom?
No, leave mom alone,
- It is your fault, - It's nobody's fault,
- It's his hole, - If you looked where you're going,,,
Don't start!
We're going to the doctor,
The holidays were starting strong
and that was just the beginning,
MY CRAZY WEEK WITH TESS
- Daddy, fish cakes! - Not now,
Sorry,
IT'S NOW TO THINK ABOUT TOMORROW
Jorre?
Do you think the very last dinosaur knew it was the last to die?
Don't you want to wait outside?
Mrs,
Mrs ?
What is it, mini tourist?
My brother is suffering martyrdom, Is it his turn soon?
Typically male problem,
He suffers martyrdom,
He'll get over it, don't worry,
I would like a tray of croquettes with ravigote sauce,
Did you know that a cockroach can survive nine days with its head cut off?
- No, - After nine days, he's starving,
I did not know,
Here,
Hi,
You speak German ?
- What? - You speak German ?
No, I am Dutch,
- Do you know about zebrafish? - In zebrafish?
I know herrings communicate by farting,
What does this have to do with zebrafish?
Do you play the trumpet?
No, from the keyboard,
Drop it,
You can go,
Hold on !
Can you dance salsa?
- No, - Perfect,
We will learn together,
- Tess, - Sat,
That's how I met Tess,
People often found me weird, but she was even more so,
Hey guys and girls, we
showed you the basic steps,
Now we're going to dance together,
Remember, the boy is leading, OK?
I will lead,
But I am the boy,
One two Three,
Hey, the king of salsa,
Hi Dad,
Jorre has to go broadcast on the mainland,
- Can Sam stay? - No,
I have to learn salsa before tonight,
- The wait at the hospital is too long, - You want to stay ?
Dad !
My mom works at the doctor's office if something happens,
- Dad ! - I arrive,
- Will you be able to get home? - Yes,
See you, big boy,

He fakes illnesses to go see my mother in the office,
OK, what about your father?
He is dead,
In a volcanic eruption, He died before I was born,
La Casa vacation rental, Tess to the device,
Ciao!
Nice to have known you,
Weren't we going to buy flowers?
Hi,
I only know of three,
You still there ? I have hosts to welcome,
I am coming with you,
Alright, let's go,
It's here,
Drawn,
Take the pillows,
Congratulations on your gift!
"My name is Tess,
Welcome to Terschelling,
Hope you enjoy yourself here,
The program includes a pleasant picnic
and a great thrilling game, "
- You can speak Dutch, - Yes, I have to practice,
Was that you on the phone?
La Casa vacation rental, Tess to the device,
I thought you were older,
- Can I have your gift voucher? - Of course,
It's funny,
First, we thought it was a joke or a scam,
- A scam ? - Yes, I never win anything,
- My name is Elise, - Tess,
- Sam, - Hi, Sam,
- Hugo, - Sat,
Ciao!
Welcome to the island,
I didn't feel anything, nothing at all, not the slightest tingling,
- I should feel something, - Like what ?
Something,
- When do you welcome guests? - Of course !
You really have no sensitivity,
Is that why you were weird?
Weird? Did you find me weird?
A little yes,
Do you think he found me weird?
I need to be alone for a while,
I thought Tess was definitely going to come back,
But she didn't come back,
- Thank you very much, - You're welcome,
Hi Mom,
Ah, there you are,
You got sunburnt,
Has your migraine gone?
Yes,
Jorre fell into a hole,
It seems,
Dad called,
It's not your fault,
They're coming back tomorrow with the ferry,
Dad told me you made a friend,
Did you have fun ?
What did you do ?
I didn't understand why Tess had left me in the dunes,
Alone,
What would it do to me if I found myself alone later?
As I am the youngest in the family,
everyone else will be gone before me,
I had to practice being alone,
Hi, little crab,
Solitude training,
THIS WEEK
DAY HOURS ONLY
If I trained hard, it would
be easier to be alone later,
MONDAY, TWO HOURS TUESDAY, FOUR HOURS
WEDNESDAY, SIX HOURS THURSDAY, EIGHT HOURS
- You see them ? - No,
Here they are, Daddy, Jorre!
- Shit vacation! - Stopped,
It's not true ?
I can't play soccer, ride a bike, or swim,
I am going to piss off,
Can I draw a dinosaur on your cast?
No, because of you, I could have died or ended up paralyzed,
Don't be disagreeable,
Do you know what you can do?
- Eat croquettes, - Good idea,
There is a fish stand next to the doctor's office,
- You didn't want pancakes? - What baby !
You love kibble, don't you?
Yeah, we're going to the fish stand,
Next, do you want?
- Four trays of croquettes, - Very good,
- Hey, Professor Cockroach, - Hello,
- Professor Cockroach? - Large or small?
- Large, - OK, big,
- With the ravigote sauce, - Refresh,
I prepare this,
- What's wrong ? - I broke my ankle in football,
Damn, it's no luck,
Hold this for me,
I will pay,
Thank you,
Isn't that girl?
- Come, - No,
Hello,
He is still alive,
Thanks for watching him,
I am not a baby,
- My favorite mini tourist, - Hello,
- It's serious between them, - Is that so ?
And this is the perfect time for a picnic,
- A picnic ? - Mom !
What?
Was it a surprise, maybe?
Yes,
Surprise,
It's nice,
Are you going out with her?
- We're going to have a picnic, - How do you do ?
Will you give me lessons?
You come ?
I am available Wednesday or Thursday,
We can also see that on Friday or Saturday,
It's the day I'm leaving,
Vamos,
- You will say hello to your mother, - Yes,
Hi, Lulu,
On this island, it is better to have a bicycle,
I never apologize,
Why ?
My mom says women apologize too often,
They put themselves down all the time,
I'm sorry,
That I never say,
Do you ever say, "I shouldn't have done that"?
Or: "Was it stupid to leave you alone in the dunes"?
Could you say that?
It's like being sorry,
Hugo and his girlfriend's house is right there, we invite them?
Why ?
Stop!
Hi,
- You want to come for a picnic? - We're going to the beach,
Great, I know a good picnic spot,
What do you think ?
- We prefer to go alone, - Yes sorry,
What's the matter ?
Nothing,
So there is something,
So there is nothing,
Do you think the last dinosaur suffered when he died?
Obviously, it's horrible to die,
On the other hand, maybe not,
Anyway, if it was the last, he would have died of loneliness,
Exactly,
That's why I do loneliness training,
A what ?
I am the youngest, I must be ready
for the day when I am going to be alone,
And do you find me weird?
Tomorrow I have to stay four hours on my own,
You just have to do it while sleeping,
for example, or while defecating,
It would be too easy,
I have to do it when it's difficult,
Stopped !
What is that ?
Some wine ?
Why did you bring this?
Are you sure this picnic was for me?
- I am a singer ? - Yes,
OK, am I handsome?
Okay,
- Am I old? - No,
Monsieur the seducer,
So, what picnic?
- Did you roll your shovels? - You're gross,
Now that everyone is here, we had a great idea,
Since Jorre is stuck and we don't
want to play this game all week,
tomorrow we will all go,,,
to Bowling !
I cannot play in a wheelchair,
I will push you,
- I can not come, - Why ?
- Here we go again, - I plan to see Tess,
- She can come, can't she? - Yes, that would be nice,
- She hates bowling, - Plate her,
- Can you come anyway? - Cancel and come with us,
I promised,
We'll do something together another day,
- Are we going anyway? - Of course,
Wait, I know who I am,
A singer, a handsome kid,,, Dreetje Hazes,
Live every day like it's the last
- No ? Who am I ? - Cheater,
Justin Bieber,
See you later, honey,
Hi, big guy,
It was one of those hard times,
but I had to persevere,
Five, four, three, two, one,
What was Tess doing there?
She must have fallen in love with Jorre,
He is three years older than me and he is much taller,
Hello,
You found ?
What?
Your twins,
My binoculars?
Can you show me the house?
Come on, let's go,
Do not stain,
What did you say to my parents?
Do not worry,
They do not know that you are wandering on the island to train yourself in solitude,
Why did you say I don't like bowling?
I love that,
Why did you come here?
I was looking for you,
I am organizing a big quiz,
I'm missing a player,
There are two teams,
You team up with Elise, I'm
with Hugo, it's a tournament,,,
I suddenly understood why Tess had behaved in a weird way,
She was in love with another,
And there we get a price,
Nice, isn't it?
I am not an idiot,
Drop it,
For your information, he's too
old for you and he has a girlfriend,
What?
Get by with your quiz,
- I need you, - I'm not your slave,
Go find your super Hugo,
Hugo is my father,
- Attention, mini tourist, - Hello,
She just went upstairs,
- Are you staying for dinner? - Yes,
KNOCK BEFORE ENTERING!
Didn't your father die in a volcanic eruption?
No,
And he didn't get lost in the Amazon or get eaten by a shark,
You have to make up stories when you don't know who your father is,
Looked,
ARGENTINA AND URUGUAY
Buenos Aires,
This is my mom's travel album,
It was there that she met my father, They spent a month in Argentina,
- "Hugo wants to stay there forever"? - Yes,
I can watch this album because his last name does not appear,
according to my mother,
Looked,
This receipt is nothing special,
but when I looked closer,,,
Hugo Faber,
Nine months later
I was born,
Dinner is served,
Yes !
Hold on,
My mother does not know that he is on the island, so motus and sewn up,
Do you like it?
You will do the dishes, I have to do,
Do you have a date with Sil?
No, I don't have a date with Sil,
I must go and air our vacation home,
People are arriving on Saturday,
You still have four days left,
Since it's empty, you might as well do it, otherwise it will smell musty,
- We can do it, - Yes,
It's nice, but I'll take care of it,
I would like to show the house to Sam,
Please,
OK,
But you won't escape the dishes,
No,
Wait for me,
Why did your mom never tell you who your dad was?
She always told me that I didn't need a father,
At first I believed her, but then I started to doubt,
What if I wanted to have one?
Anyway, I found his name in the album and I went looking for him,
- How long did it take you? - Ten minutes,
- Ten minutes ? - Yes,
Facebook,
So what ?
I knew everything about him,
He lives in Berlin with his girlfriend,
He enjoys traveling, he plays the
trumpet and trained in cabinetmaking,
- And he dances salsa, - Yes, I forgot,
I lured him to our vacation home with a letter
saying he had won five days of vacation,
Why didn't you tell her?
What if he's a jerk?
I might not want him,
I don't want to ruin everything, you understand?
Once he finds out, I can't go back,
I only have three days to get to know him,
- I need you tomorrow, - I can not come,
I have my training for loneliness,
Maybe it's better that you don't know your father,
That makes you one less funeral,
You will get used to Hugo and then he will die,
Are you serious ?
Sorry, but you're really crazy,
You and your training,
I'll go to your funeral,
"Necessity rules", they say,
My training had to be postponed until the next day,
There is someone ?
Hugo, Elise!
They may not be there,
Their car is in front,
There is someone ?
They might be,,,
You're yucky,
Yes ?
Have a nice sunny day,
What?
We will pick you up for the big quiz,
This is not the right time,
What is happening ?
It's for the quiz,

What would it do?
- Dad ! - The boys,
Please,
You are going to drive me crazy,
If she's better tomorrow, we can do something together,
- But,,, - No "but", you're coming too,
My program fell through,
I especially wanted to go see Tess,
How was she?
Hi,

Twelve years ago,,,
I'm so glad that I don't have children,
You were right,
- I'd rather not know him, - That's not what he meant,
- I don't need him, - It's your father,
Actually, he's just a guy who slept with my mom,
You have to tell him, it's not fair,
If you don't tell him, I will,
If you do this, I'll kill you,
And I won't come to your funeral,
Goodbye, Sam,
Damn it !
Come here,
We let you do what you wanted this week,
but we need to know where you are,
Hello? We're talking to you!
I was with Tess,
- You couldn't guess, - We were supposed to stay together,
Tomorrow you will stay with us all day,
- But it's the last day, - Yes exactly,
OK ?
Samuel, look at me,
OK ?
Tess didn't want Hugo, Neither from me,
See, you better not get too attached to people,
Sorry mum, sorry dad,
I need to be alone for a while,
Help !
It shouldn't be like that,
I wasn't going to be the last to disappear,
I was going to die first,
I am stuck,
Thank you,
I have found a lot of things in my beach raider life,
but never a child,
Do you know it's very dangerous in the mudflats?
No,
Here, little one,
We must aspire,
Is that your wife?
Yes,
She's alive ?
No,
That’s how it’s life,
It's hard,,,
to be alone?
I still miss her every day
but I have a lot of good memories,
Life, it happens mostly in the head,
and there, it is always alive and beating,
I cherish all the moments that we have shared,
I wish there were more,
Some people save money,
others collect stamps,
The other day i heard from a man
who collected Kinder Surprise,
Collect as many memories as you can,
shared moments,,,
before it is too late,
Souvenirs,
Hugo and Tess had lost eleven years of memories,
It's been about 5,752 days,
Stop!
Sam, is that okay with your head?
You can't go,
We have a boat to take,
- I have something to tell you, - What?
We don't have time, we have a boat to take,
Stand on your side,
- Pushes you, - Tess is your daughter,
What? Where did you go to get this?
Did she say that?
It makes no sense,
Tess has a vivid imagination,
You know that too, don't you?
I have no children,
Sorry,
Did you travel well in Argentina twelve years ago?
With Ida, Tess' mother?
Nine months later
Tess was born,
Ida,,,
Yes,
Tess wanted to tell you yesterday,
but you said you were glad you weren't having children,
Tess doesn't know I'm here,
You can also take the boat and forget everything I said,
Get in the car, Show us the way,
Say something,
Hi,
Live every day as if nothing was ever over
Live, enjoy every moment
Enjoy every moment
Samuel de Jong, what is that?
I'm so glad you're here, dad,
I too am happy to be here,
And that you are there too,
- Let's toast at our last dinner, - Yes,
On our last evening, my darlings,
- Your favorite moment of the week? - When you wallowed in the bowling alley,
These shoes really slip too much,
It's okay ?
Yes,
Is that a phone number on your cast?
Just a memory,
A memory, I wonder who it is,,,
- It's here ? - Do we have a doorbell?
What a killer,
Can you pass me the cucumbers?
Of course,
- You pass me the beans? - Yes,
Sam, this is for you,
Hi,
Did you come to kill me?
Sorry, I shouldn't have done this,
It was silly of me, but I wanted
to do it because it's not fair,,,
He wants me,
- Huh? - He wants to be my father,
Really ?
Really,
I invite you all,
- All of us ? - Yes, you and your family,
With Hugo, we organized something, A taxi will pick you up in an hour,
OK,
Hi,
Stop, stop,
- Shall I stop? - Yes,
What are you doing ?
I will be back,
Hille!
Hille, wake up,
Hey, kid,
I wanted to ask you
if you'd like to share a new memory,
What?
How would you like to go to a party?
A party ?
Yes, that tells me,
And you ?
- This is Hille, - Hello,
Close the tailgate, Hold on tight,
Can you tell us how it happened?
About what ?
How come Hugo didn't know?
- You want to know ? - Yes,
- Didn't he know at all? - Who wants chicken?
- You want some ? - What a delight !
- Chicken ? - Yes,
Thank you,
- Is that the girl from the fish stand? - Go away,
It must have been the strangest week of my life
and the best,
I no longer need to train to be alone,
I want to be with others and make
as many memories as possible,
These are the ones I have collected so
far, and there is still so much to collect,
