Body Odyssey (2023)

[bunniefuu]

Biceps.

Lats.

Lower back.

Profile.

Hold.

Smile.

Turn around.

Looking good.

Let's keep this up.

Well done.

Hey, that's for you.

Thanks.

So will it be 51 today?

Yes.

You'll be growing wings soon.

I'm ready to fly.

All right, I meant

to ask you, could you

give me a few pointers later?

I thought maybe I

could change my gainer.

Maybe you should

change your mindset.

How do you get like this?

He doesn't love his body.

You can do it.

Breathe.

And 51.

Beautiful.

Does it hurt?

No.

And here?

No.

I feel a tingle there.

OK, you can get that now.

Can it be treated?

Well, the swelling

of your clitoris

is because of the

hormonal supplements.

I know that.

How long have you

been taking steroids?

Eight years.

And which ones?

Always the same.

I know how they work.

I'm not sure you do.

You see, our body is

very finely balanced.

I always listen to my

body, every day, every hour.

Yes, but this

imbalance could lead

to irreversible consequences.

And I'm not only talking

about your period.

I'm talking about hair loss,

baldness, sprained ligaments

and tendons, jaundice.

You know that the eyes,

they become yellow,

and the liver gives out.

And not to mention all the

psychological and physical

addiction that you can have.

And an overworked heart,

hardened and skin, womb cancer.

Mona, Body Universe,

Miss Body Universe.

We've been selected.

As of tomorrow, we

have exactly 90 days.

You need to lose 7 kilos.

We'll start by

working the sartorius,

the thighs, the trapezius.

We need to define

what we have built.

Carbohydrates will be

reduced every 10 days.

We'll keep proteins as they

are during the first phase.

Obviously, no sugars or fats

throughout your preparation.

Three liters of water a day.

As for the second phase,

we'll add steroids.

Solid foods will be

kept to a minimum

with some days of fasting.

I'll decide on the exceptions.

As for your training, we'll

follow the usual three programs

but double the workloads.

We'll add some extra

sessions along the way

to refine your appearance.

By the end, you'll be 70 kilos

of toned skin and muscle.

The gynecologist said it

might cause complications.

You have control of your body.

It's my last chance.

Shh.

Shh.

Shh.

We can't see each

other for a while.

Oh, how come?

I finished my

course of steroids.

I need to alternate

between on and off periods.

So when can we see

each other again?

Patient

number 37 to Dr. Anders.

How was it?

Did he c*m?

Yes, I feel much better.

I think he's got

a bit of a crush.

I'll have a word with

him before the next course.

Maybe we are using him.

Let's wait and see.

Don't worry.

If he becomes a problem,

I'll find someone else.

Vitamins and fiber, the

strength of the Earth.

I know you want fats,

but it's not time yet.

Proteins.

Promise me they'll

go to the thighs.

They always lag behind.

Wait.

The two of

you seem like people

with excellent taste.

At a 10, that is one of

our most popular items.

And as a matter of fact,

just because it's you,

I'm going to let you try some.

Absolute gem.

Do you thicken it?

Oh, a man who knows his stuff.

Yes, this is a new formula.

And as you can see, it dries

instantly, it hydrates the skin,

and it's not oil.

Now, we are the first

to use this new formula.

Look at Ushakova.

She's in perfect shape.

Hey, Mona Staltz?

Yep.

I'm Lars.

It's-- it's an

honor to meet you.

Can we take a picture together?

Sure.

Awesome, thank you.

So are you preparing

for Body Universe?

Mm-hmm.

Ah-huh.

Which phase of training

are you moving into now?

It's about the mindset.

Right, cool.

You look incredible.

God, just look at you.

You're-- you're perfect.

Even your femoris are

perfectly balanced.

I'm wondering whether

you'd like to--

whether you'd like to maybe do a

private photo sh**t in the nude?

Very tasteful, of course.

Just so I can study you.

And maybe give you

a little massage.

Massage you a little bit.

You'd like that?

Hey, you just name your price.

Sorry, but I don't do

that kind of performance.

Well, you're

a perfect creation.

Mona.

See you later.

You just need to give

me six days notice.

That's how long

the shipping takes.

But they're insane.

Listen, Sven,

call your contact.

We need to stock up.

What's wrong with

the usual steroids

They're not strong enough.

But I've used them

before, and they're legal.

Obviously, it's your

choice, Mona but these things

are on another level.

With them, you'll

be through the roof.

I can manage on my own.

Tanya Ushakova takes them.

I'm much better than her.

Mona, this is

Miss Body Universe.

I assure you, Lukas has

never been in such great shape.

Sarah is a good coach.

And you have a better one.

And I say, we need this stuff.

Welcome, wayfarer.

Your destiny is

engraved into your skin.

Love and life lines are

inextricably intertwined.

Your strength is

in your tenacity.

But beware, wayfarer.

Perfectionism is

a dangerous state

of mind in this imperfect world.

A new presence is

seeping into your life.

You must be strong and resist.

It's fatal attraction.

But do not be afraid.

Everything you will lose

when you return anew,

retain a radiance, perhaps

sooner than you think.

You should leave.

You'll get sick.

I'm not no man.

The cold relieves any tension

in each and every muscle.

It relaxes me.

It awakens my strength.

Every sacrifice I make is

for you, for your sake.

I do whatever you ask of me.

Talk to me.

Tell me what you

need, what you want.

You look good.

I saw Lukas.

He's in fine shape.

The new steroids

are really helping.

I'm on track.

I'm really focused.

Have you heard

from the dentist?

No, I'm not seeing

Anders anymore.

Perhaps you should give

him a call now that we're

starting a new course.

No.

If you want someone younger,

there are agencies for that.

They send you a catalog,

and you choose who you wish.

They're professionals.

You deserve the best.

I don't pay for sex.

You're throwing it all away.

Good morning.

Good morning.

This is Mona.

So pleased to meet you.

Hello.

Nice to meet you.

Have you ordered?

No.

What can I get for you?

Two coffees, please.

I'll have an espresso, please,

and a slice of chocolate gateau.

One liter of water, please.

Room temperature.

Right.

So what are we talking

about, this photo sh**t?

Well, as well

as a photo sh**t,

we're planning a commercial.

And we would like

Miss Mona to be

the official face of the brand.

Well, that's fine.

But how many days

will this take?

Two days plus travel.

Three nights in total.

Well, that should be

fine, so long as there's

a gym at our disposal.

Absolutely.

We can arrange that.

I can send you some photos

if you'd like of the gym.

How many hours of training will

Mona required during the sh**t?

We can make it work

with two shorter sessions

before and after the sh**t.

I'm sorry.

I'll be right back.

So let's get down to business.

I'm not going.

Stop, stop, stop.

Nic.

Stop, stop, stop.

Nic.

Stop.

Look there.

Nic.

Hey, stop it, all right?

Let's see, hey.

There's a lizard

in the solarium.

A lizard?

Yeah.

I'll tell the

manager straight away.

They were doing work

in there last week.

Can you tell me where it was?

It slipped behind

the central bench.

OK, just a moment.

Maintenance are out.

Sorry.

OK.

A turbulent

period is approaching.

It will not be easy

to accept or to live.

But after the initial

disappointment,

you will find you

have firm roots.

Do not be intimidated by

obstacles along the way.

Good relationships take time.

Be careful of Gemini.

Under the moon's influence, they

will become elusive this month.

I knew he was a Gemini.

--to

follow a relationship that,

despite all things

considered, works

despite the occasional bump

due to the nature of Taurus all

to attempt a radical

transformation,

albeit at the cost of a

clean break with the past.

A lot depends on

how capable you are.

I need sugar.

Yeah, man, sure.

The judges couldn't

stop staring at you.

You're in perfect shape.

Keep pumping.

This bronzer is a perfect

fit for your body.

This is my day.

It works.

It's great.

Great.

OK.

Go.

That's good.

Yeah, that's good.

Mona.

Hey, Marc.

You never came

to see me, b*tch.

I'm sorry about the training.

I'm just kidding.

You look great.

You're not making a surprise

appearance, are you?

No, no.

We came to watch.

What an honor.

We should go running someday.

Not before

the competition.

We still have too

much work to do.

You look almost ready though.

I've never seen you as

fit as you look now.

Look at her calves.

Look at her thighs.

We're not there yet.

Only an athlete can

feel the body changes.

Am I right, Kurt?

We have to go.

We'll be cheering you on.

Good luck.

Bye, guys.

Here it is.

You're there.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah, we got this.

I've ordered the steroids

for when you change your mind.

I'm not changing my mind.

Hi, guys.

Hi.

How are you doing?

Almost due.

So many things to think about.

You look in

great shape, Lukas.

Thanks, man.

Working hard.

Sven has the best stuff,

but there's still work to do.

Sara.

When he comes into

the world, his dad

will be as hard as a diamond.

And his mom will

be soft as Jelly.

Ladies and gentlemen, thank

you all for coming to the 20th

edition of the Over 50s

Bodybuilding Grand Prix.

These great athletes

are here to show you

that time does not exist, that

there are no limits for those

who train hard.

They are ready to perform

after months, years,

entire lives of commitment

and sacrifice because this

is about taking care

of your own body

and getting into

extraordinary shape.

The show is about to begin.

Remind you that the hashtag

for this year is old but gold.

And now, ladies and gentlemen,

before we actually begin,

I'd like to introduce

to you, our champions.

Gentlemen.

Look at them.

They have an implacable energy.

Nothing or no one can stop them.

This, ladies and gentlemen,

is the making of champions,

of people who never give up.

The strength, people pushed

their limits every day

and never looked back.

That's right.

They're huge.

They're living proof

that you can always

grow and better yourself.

I have never seen

anything like that.

What a sight.

These muscles are spectacular.

Well, let me tell you,

they are all fantastic.

They're all heroes.

But there's only one place.

Who will come out on top?

Who will be crowned this

year's winner of the Over 50s

Bodybuilder Grand Prix?

As you can see, our

champs are raring to go.

They cannot wait to

perform their grooms.

Now, remember, it's always

more difficult on first.

We have to break the ice.

So I want to hear a

warm welcome for--

oh.

Oh, my gosh.

Please, please, stand back.

Let the staff through.

Obviously, the

show is suspended.

Please make your

way to the point.

He should have

done more cardio.

Stand back.

Let the medical staff through.

Thank you.

Come on.

Come on.

Let's go.

He's dead.

Protect me.

The bell rings.

Stokes comes out all g*ns

blazing, leaving her opponent

no way out.

She feels no pain.

Her opponent tries to fight

back, but she soon gives up.

Kurt's wrong.

You don't need that stuff.

No, listen to me.

We can do it without that.

You don't need

to be afraid of physical contact

pain or getting bruised.

If you are, then this

sport isn't for you.

You need to have

an inner strength.

I'm not done with

this sport yet.

I don't know what

will happen, but I

keep fighting until

I can't walk anymore.

You've

trained only with men.

It's funny.

Men usually look

at women's legs.

In my case, they look at my a*s.

Why should I hide them?

I do so much training.

Why shouldn't I show them off?

In my case, they

look at my arms.

Why should I hide them?

I do so much training.

Why shouldn't I show them off?

Are you all right?

Touching

me is useless.

Kurt was k*lling us.

Marrow, dunes,

and craters, pulsations.

Cracks in a labyrinth of

tender, shapeless bones.

Fibrous mountains spiral

down on the boiling ocean.

The landscape is fracturing.

Relax.

There you go.

All done.

How is it?

Now we will see results.

Have you seen her shivering?

I mean, seriously.

As if she can feel the

cold with a body like that.

Ridiculous.

Oh, gosh, I

can't take it anymore.

So much drama.

She's faking it.

She's not going

to play the diva, is she?

We've only got

today to sh**t this.

Look at her.

Jesus.

Looks like a man.

f*ck that.

No, thanks.

I'd never let

myself get like that.

Poor thing.

Come on.

She's not harming anyone.

My wife's pregnant.

I can't stand to

look at this sh*t.

I can't wait to

see the commercial.

I can still feel

the cold in my bones.

Don't worry.

You'll soon warm up.

Would you like

the dessert menu, sir?

We don't need it.

We'll take one of everything.

Thank you.

Enjoy it.

You've earned it.

We're ahead of schedule.

From tomorrow, we'll have

to work a little harder.

But it shouldn't be a

challenge, given the results.

Plasma.

Torn fragments.

Tissues.

A polymorphous wave drags

away lumps, trees, bubbles.

Reeds vibrate and

shake until they snap.

I thought you wanted it.

Fleshy corals fray.

The avalanche sweeps

everything away.

I'm sorry.

Yesterday was an exception.

Every exception is as important

as the training itself.

Come on, Mona, three more.

Good.

Very good.

Don't overdo it.

Let's take a break

for 10 minutes.

The relentless

stream of grease floods

gills and eradicates cartilage.

It will never drain.

Tendons.

Dust.

Stop!

You have to be precise.

Every little detail, every

fiber, each sprain matters.

Sculpt every muscle,

its shape, its firmness.

Picture in your

mind what happens

during the concentric

and eccentric phases--

the perfect symmetry

of your femoris,

the two halves of your body

reflecting each other exactly.

Carve your adductors,

your quadriceps.

Your face will stay young.

Look at every inch of your skin.

It is smooth, lean, solid.

Looking great, Mona.

Hey, Marc.

Who won the competition?

No one felt like carrying on.

Not even Oliveirie?

Not even him.

Coward.

I would have carried on.

The show must go on.

You would have won, Marc.

I did win.

How's the preparation going?

You disgust me.

You stink.

Touch it.

What are you eating, Mona?

What's your weight?

Are you thirsty?

Don't lose control.

Go.

Wait for me.

Run.

Wait for me.

Faster.

She's grown 2

centimeters in 10 days.

2 centimeters.

I think I'll make it red.

Yes, low contrast.

More vibrant.

What accessories could we add?

Anything you like.

Beads, sequins, maybe.

Nothing too flashy though.

Oh, Kurt, I can already

see her on a stage.

She's in-- she's in great shape.

Ushakova doesn't

stand a chance.

Oh, no.

No, she doesn't, does

she, my dear, Kurt?

She is superb.

Thou still

unravished bride of eternity,

thou foster child of silence

and slow time, forever panting

and for ever young.

All breathing human

passion far above.

A burning forehead

and a parching tongue.

When old age shall

this generation waste,

thou shalt remain in

midst of other w*r.

Than ours, a friend to

man to whom thou sayest.

Beauty is truth.

Truth.

Beauty.

That is all ye know on Earth

and all ye need to know.

Keats Diamonds.

Beauty is truth.

What name do you

give to your child?

Arnold.

What do you ask

of God's church?

Baptism.

And to you, godfather

and godmother,

are you willing to help the

parents in this extremely

important task?

Yes.

Yes.

Everything OK, guys?

Tell her.

She looks dreadful.

Calm down, Mona.

You say she

needs to get in shape.

And you need to eat.

You're not thinking straight.

I'm not eating anything.

Don't need it.

I told you.

We should have had

the celebration

after the competition.

Ash puddles stagnate

all over the spinal system.

A nest of algae and bacteria

poisons the acid sky.

The mold expands from the swamp.

Stop, stop, stop.

A glacier,

silver crystals float,

cradled by a crisp

breeze embracing since.

The soil's hair sway.

Caves palpitates gently.

The hill oozes fresh amber.

Hi.

I'm from the

environmental agency.

If I may, I would

like to ask you

a few questions about the lake,

seeing as you live nearby.

We are trying to

understand what's going on.

Of course.

Come in.

Where do your drains lead?

We're above board here.

They lead where all drains do.

When did you notice

the changes in the lake?

The haze is a recent thing,

but the algae and its gas

must have been there before.

Yeah, I think it was.

Yeah, when did it start?

I don't know.

Weeks?

Months?

Years?

Years.

The other day, we

went for a dip.

I often go with Nic.

We go diving.

In this state?

The lake

reawakens our senses.

It's an aphrodisiac.

I would advise you to

avoid the lake until we

understand the problem.

It could have an

effect on your health.

Does the water sting?

Have you ever had a rash

after swimming in it?

No, I'm absolutely fine.

Don't you think?

The acidity of the

water is increasing.

We have ruled out

industrial pollution.

Nature is transforming.

The lake is a sacred place.

Yes, but it's not a good sign.

We believe it could be a

fault line that is reopening.

The whole ecosystem is at risk.

Do you think I could ask

your husband a few questions.

Nic is my partner.

But he's going to

propose to me soon.

Congratulations.

We are going to adopt.

We are so happy.

The

glacier is breathing.

Do you feel it?

The snowstorm is here.

Silver crystals

float in the air.

Chanting.

Calling us.

Nic.

Caress the resin.

Taste the pollens.

Where are you hiding?

The

tide is blinding.

He is blinding.

He is here, all around us.

Nic.

Nic.

Nic.

Where are you?

The grass

oozes cool lymph.

His breath echoes

through the branches.

He awaits us.

This is the one.

This is the one for our routine.

No, it's too old.

I like it.

No, it doesn't work.

Hello.

Hello.

Is Nic home?

Oh, no.

He's-- he's out with friends.

Can I come in?

Maybe he'll be back soon.

Oh, yes, of course.

Please.

Pleased to meet you.

I'm Berthold.

Mona.

Nic's room is

upstairs, isn't it?

Oh, yes.

It's the one in the corner.

Can I see it?

His scent,

I can smell him.

He left the window open again.

Hello.

Hi.

What's your name?

OK, it's time for

homework, Lacey.

Come on.

Go, go, OK?

Something

to drink, perhaps?

Why don't you give him a call?

I don't have his number.

He didn't give you his number?

No.

We always know how

to find each other.

It's fate.

I'm sorry.

What's-- what's your name again?

Mona.

Maybe Nic has spoken about me.

I'm taking part in

Miss Body Universe.

I'm the favorite this year.

Well, he said he

was going out with--

His girlfriend.

Yes.

Yes.

I want to surprise him.

Well, we don't know

when he might be back, so.

Well, here, he

said he was going out--

With his girlfriend.

Yes.

Yeah.

I want to surprise him.

We don't know when

he might be back, so.

I know.

He's coming.

The alcohol burns.

How did you meet our Nicholas?

In a spa.

In a Turkish bath.

We were naked.

Sparks flew.

Nic is so beautiful.

Take me home.

No, wait.

I want to speak to them.

Maybe Nic has spoken about me.

I'm taking part in

Miss Body Universe.

I'm the favorite this year.

I am sorry.

We were just about to head out.

You-- you need to leave now.

Hey.

What are you doing?

Let's

go and find Nic.

No, we need to rest.

I don't-- I don't

know where she's going.

She's going upstairs.

I don't know.

Oh, f*ck, Lacey's upstairs.

Lacey's upstairs.

Lacey's up there.

Can you do something about this?

We'll call the police.

You get down here.

You don't touch my daughter.

Can you hear that?

Come back.

The police

is on its way.

He doesn't look like you.

Will you come down?

Come down now!

I am talking to her.

Look, the police is coming.

We want you to come

down right now.

Breakdowns are normal.

You have to stay strong.

We're doing great.

Just a couple more days of

fasting, and we'll be ready.

I have some good news.

Ushakova has injured

herself during training.

She's pulling out.

It's no coincidence.

We're so close.

This next part is the hardest.

The shadows

under the seabed laments

echo through the abyss.

Alveoli, sponges, corals,

a smooth, gentle sack.

Everything sweats bubbles.

Oily, shiny shapes.

Everything sweats dust.

Waters glitter.

Waters quiver.

Waters cover you.

Dry forest.

Vortexes disrupt the current.

Flaming fluxes slither down

a web of rocky arteries.

Shatter the womb.

New springs swallow

up everything.

It all drifts away.

Flowers.

Meat.

Wine.

Melodies.

Yeast.

Fibers.

Juices.

Starch.

Gluten.

Reeds.

Corals.

Crispy.

Grease.

Resin.

Memory.

Effects.

Pain.

Pills.

Plasma.

Tissues.

Weight.

Lumps.

Free.

Bubbles.

Cartilage.

Dust.

Nic.

Wait.

What is this?

We look great

together, don't we?

What the f*ck were

you doing in my place?

Don't you dare come back to

my house near my mom or my dad

ever again.

The time at the spa, I--

I was out of it.

Do you understand?

I'm not into you.

I'm not a f*gg*t.

I'm sorry.

It's nothing serious.

If you want, we can--

we can do it online.

Have you ever done

it with a webcam?

Maybe we can message each

other once in a while.

We could-- could send

me a little treat.

Think about it.

A typhoon will

blow away the fragments,

the dark smoke, the remains.

Fields will bloom

with rare details.

Brushes will cleanse

the lymphatic springs.

Shapes will evolve, growing,

growing, growing, again.

New rivers.

New vessels.

New flesh.

A perfect symmetry.

Young, eternal.
