DEBUTANTE

- Hello.
- Hello.

I’m from the architect’s office, a room
was booked here for me from today.

I don’t know anything about it.

Can you check?
My name is Orzechowska.

Yes, indeed. Here we have it.

Here.

- The corridor behind the phone booth.
- Thank you.

Miss Orzechowska?

I think there was a phone call for you
just now.

Do you know if it was from the office?

- No, I don’t.
- Thank you.

Miss Orzechowska!
A call for you.

- Where is the phone?
- Here, in the booth.

Orzechowska, hello?

How did it happen?

No. I only just arrived at the hotel.

No, I haven’t changed my mind.

Why should I?

Yes, I’m listening. Do you think
that few hours of travelling

would cause me to change my decision,
which I made consciously?

Marek, we’ve cleared all that.

You know that I don’t care about
money.

You know I want to be here now.

To work with a person
that is clean.

To learn something.
We've agreed it all, right?

Marek, this is not breaking off.

You’ll be back in a year.

Everything will be as usual, right?

Look, I’m very tired.
I’m going to the office.

I’ll call you,
once I had a look around.

Yes?

All right, bye.

And now our colleague will take the
floor…

- Miss Orzechowska?
- Hello.

I'm sorry you had to wait.

No, I'm sorry to bother you.
Actually, I only know your name.

I know that you will work with us...

- Let’s go.
- Thank you.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the work in our
studio is not coordinated.

It’s not possible for the studio
to work so randomly.

Nobody knows why...

You know that somebody
resigned from this post?

Yes. I know.

His assistant, Ania,
fell ill suddenly and had to leave.

I know.

Do you know the boss?

No, how? I don't know him personally,
but I’m aware of his work.

I know all his projects,
mainly those he did abroad.

That's good. I think it should be
all right.

Only, I’d like to start working
right away, if it’s possible.

Just a moment.

- Marysia?
- Wait a minute.

So, what? It’s two copies...

When will Jerzy come to see us?

He just left.
He wanted to see you as well.

This is Miss Orzechowska.

She arrived from Warsaw this morning.

She’s very eager to start working.

Hello. Orzechowska Ewa.

The winner of the Skrypij Award?

Actually, I got the award together
with my colleague.

We worked together
on the project.

And you gave up a trip to France
to work on our project?

Apparently, I found this more
important for me right now.

Could I see the project
and get to work right away?

There is nothing happening here as
yet. We are waiting for the order.

Well… there is a spare drawing board.

I’ll talk to the boss.

If we need you, we’ll call you.

She’s sharp.

He is even sharper.

- I don't know if you are aware of that?
- He is allowed to be.

A man who has nothing to hide
has the right to be sharp.

Have a look around.
I must go to a meeting.

If you want to,
we could go to the site tomorrow.

Jerzy promised
that he’ll be there at 11 a.m.

Of course. Yes.

- Is that right?
- I don't know if that’s right.

Is it right that a maritime museum
will be built here,

while my family,
we have no place to live

and we are crowded into one room?

You see, I don't know if there
will ever be order in this country,

if people like you will are
breaking the law.

The law…

I wasn’t the first one to break it.

This freak has been here for six
months.

But that’s of no importance.

There is a more important issue.

They gave us this location when
he was building here already.

Jerzy was delighted
that it’s right by the sea.

But now they are saying
that the investment is too expensive,

that we can't afford it now.

Well, and this location.

This area has been taken away from
the shipyard.

And what does he say to that?

He is not aware of it.

He always did only what he wanted.

He never went for any deal or
any compromise.

I remember when he came back to
Poland.

He thought he could build
a great housing estate here.

But when he realized
that it was just a pipe dream

he simply said that
he is getting out of it.

This museum has been on his mind for
many years.

The project was to be implemented
several times, then it was postponed.

And how do you feel about that?

I don’t understand.

I’m just asking
what you think about it?

You must have some views
on this matter.

Personal ones.

I’m only a technician.

Aha.

He didn’t come.

Can you give me his phone number?

He has no phone.

All instructions for the studio
go always through Maria.

But I can’t sit here, doing nothing.

I came here to work.
I have to see him at least.

You have the address.

Try to go and see him.

Although I wouldn’t advise you.

Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm off to work.

I’m glad.

Except that there is too many steps
in the stairway, they are too low.

Look. It's great that you brought it.
Thank you very much.

Excuse me,
who is that outside the window?

That’s his wife.
She’s probably come for the money.

Excuse me!

I’m sorry, my name is Ewa Orzechowska.
I am your husband's assistant.

- Can you help me?
- I don’t know anything.

You see, it’s my second week here,
but there is nothing happening.

But I really don't know anything.

- But if...
- Excuse me.

Bozena, Jerzy asked you
to come back home immediately.

Besides, you were to queue
for butter, weren’t you?

Well.

One more thing.

The boss was here yesterday,

but you decided to go
on an excursion with Engineer Radecki.

But I... Wait a minute, I went
because he was supposed to be there.

Besides, he never opens for anyone,
when he’s working.

Miss Orzechowska!

Miss Orzechowska! Phone call!

- I’m sorry. I thought it was for me.
- Thank you.

Orzechowska speaking.

Hello?

Hello?

Good evening, Mrs Maria.

Are you sure he wants to see me?

Of course, I can. Yes.

Yes. I’ll try to be there as soon as
possible. I’ll take a taxi.

All right. I’ll be half an hour.

Thank you. Goodbye.

Good evening.

Good evening.

Don't be surprised
I live here, too. Please, come in.

Jerzy?

Good evening.

I just wanted to thank you

that you’ve agreed to take me along
to work.

This is Ewa Orzechowska.

Exactly.

- I’d like to...
- Please, come in.

Jerzy...

...was waiting for you.

Thank you for coming.

There are few people nowadays
who want to do something.

Maybe you can tell us what's going on
in the Duchy of Warsaw?

As you know, the Duchy has fallen
recently.

They are sitting there, happy with
themselves.

Happy with their talents.

This is actually one big shit.

It's not even art anymore ...

...but concessions and trading,
and money, money!

Do you know why I gave up lecturing?

Because I came to the conclusion
that the people I teach…

will be corrupted by reality anyway.

Among my students, I have not met ...

one who would be strong enough,
to resist it.

You must be right.

Although I’m convinced
that there are many people

who think differently;
who still care about something.

There is no one.

It’s not true. It merely seems so.
There are such people, for sure.

Now everything is changing.

Yes, yes… Everything is changing.
So, they will serve somebody else.

You have no right to say that.

It's really not the same.

You didn’t understand me.

I am not against what happened.

Anyhow, I couldn't be against it
with my biography.

No. This is about something else.
You see...

If...

... if you want to do something real
in your life,

you must have something permanent.

And that permanent thing...

...could only be our work.

Politics should be left to other
people.

Will you have some whiskey?

With pleasure.

And you?

Maybe I would like a drink, too.

Get out.

Maria doesn’t drink at all.

The last train for Gdansk
leaves in 20 minutes.

Yes.

You may want to see the project.

Everything is ready, we just have to
wait for that bloody order.

Can we give her one copy?

It's been prepared for a long time.

We’ll talk tomorrow.

Let's see whether you are capable of
anything.

Tomorrow. At the same time.

At 10.00 pm?

At 10.00 pm.

Thank you. I’ll be here for sure.

Bye.

Good night.

Excuse me…

Bozena.

Right, Bozena.
I’m so sorry.

Actually, I don’t know what this is
all about,

but I feel as if it was my fault.

No. Nothing happened.

I’m sorry.

There are spaces left between the
walls.

Maria is a good architect, right?

Very.

And why doesn't she do anything?
Why doesn’t she design something?

She had many occasions, but she never
wanted to do anything on her own.

Why?

After 20 years of work in one
position, you can get complexes.

Let’s go. I think it’s starting.

Yes. I’ll call you.

Has she always lived in this house?

No. Apparently, she’s got a flat.

Now and again she goes to her
sister´s.

But he rarely lets her go.

- Isn’t it strange, that she never...
- Ewa?

Yes?

Jerzy asked you to come earlier today.

Yes. Of course.
I'll come as soon as the meeting is over.

I thought you came here to work,
not to rally round.

And you should have a good sleep
before the evening.

Don’t worry about me.

I’ll keep up.

Excuse me.

Of course, the design is great, but
I have a suggestion,

that this white marble…
- use a red brick instead.

It will be lighter then.

Anyway, that’s how they build
today all over the world.

It will be rougher, which will allow
us to refer to the surroundings,

to this old fortress.

I think that’s very important.

Then the whole metalwork, these window
frames,

will allow us to integrate this
fortress into the whole project.

This white marble

is Jerzy’s main material idea.

Try to understand it.
It’s supposed to be a compact solid block.

Torn in two directions:
towards the land and towards the sea.

I understand that. Only the brick
does not interfere with this.

It only takes away the stiffness and
this unnecessary monumentality.

My child, have you ...

Have you ever heard of the scale of an
individual,

the scale of a group, or a crowd?

But it has nothing to do with scale.

We’re doing it for the people,
for them to feel comfortable there.

It should be happier, more amusing.

My dear lady, this is a museum
not an amusement park.

This is not a fair argument.

Besides, I see no reason
to discredit the so-called bad taste.

I thought so.
Johnson & Moore’s influence.

But there is nothing to discuss.

I thought I was here also to discuss.

You’re wrong.

You are here to help us with the
drawings.

If I don't have the right to speak,

we really have nothing to discuss.

No. Please, sit down.

We’ll have some tea
and talk calmly.

Yes?

Can I stay here?

I've done everything.

Stay.

One more thing.

This brick is a great material
opportunity.

It’s much cheaper.

- That’s not an argument.
- Why not?

If the cost estimate is smaller,
it will be easier to get approval.

If you want to do something good,
you cannot skimp on money.

Cheaper and worse.
It’s better not to do anything at all.

My child...

if you want to be an architect
then remember that.

You misunderstood me.

I mentioned costs because other
arguments did not convince you.

In fact, I feel

that this project done in this
material does not make any sense.

It’s ugly! It’s academic! Today nobody
designs along these lines any longer.

Leave!

I’m sorry.

I think I’ll leave, too.

Good night.

Bozena, calm down.

I can't anymore.

I can’t.

He treats me like a dog.

I want to leave.

So why don’t you?

I don't even have 200 zloty
for a ticket to Warsaw.

My God! How could you let yourself
get to this state?

You idiot.

Here is about 300 zloty.

If you think you should leave,
then leave.

Do you understand?

You'll be at the office tomorrow
as usual, right?

Of course, I will.

- Excuse me, where is the club Start?
- In Wrzeszcz. Grunwaldzka 103.

- It’s for everyone?
- Yes.

- Can I pop in?
- You can.

- Great. I’m with you.
- Thank you.

Extraordinary December Meeting

of the Solidarity's National Coordinating
Commission.

The purpose of the meeting
is to set up actions

in relation to the academic situation

after recent events in Bydgoszcz,

which were considered an attack
on the Union...

But if it was sent
why didn't it arrive?

- We can't start with our work.
- What happened?

How long do we have to wait for it?

What’s going on?

She is talking to the ministry
about the project.

It always gets stuck
in the same place.

Well, let’s hope.

All right, we can start.
It’s on its way.

Why are you making these spacing at 4,
if it is clearly written for 6?

Well, finally.

You can finally pounce
on this project.

You see, I imagined it differently.

It seems I am not really
needed here.

Or better start it all over again.

Ewa...

Jerzy proposes that you come and stay
with us for this period.

I am in the office all day.
He needs someone to work at home.

Besides, it's better than a hotel?

I'm afraid,
this will not be possible.

I still have things here
which are of interest to me.

And in general,...

I’d like to go back to Warsaw.

Well, it’s up to you.

26, please.

Excuse me.

- I’d like to talk to you.
- By all means.

I’m listening.

- I wanted to see you for a long time.
- I’m listening.

Do you know why you were summoned
here?

Nobody summoned me.
I came here of my own will.

What is it all about?

It always starts like this.

Some talks, discussions about art,
arguments...

- And then...
- What then?

I don't understand,
what are you talking about?

Then another victim is needed.

And once they’ve squeezed you dry,

they’ll throw you away
like a piece of junk!

Hold on. Just a moment.

Don't you think that the way we are
treated depends only on ourselves?

Look...

...my name is Anna.

- I was his assistant.
- I know.

I heard that I got sick.

Fortunately, my health is robust.

Maybe I'm overly ambitious,
but I've always been damn independent

and I always wanted to be independent.

I won’t allow anyone to manipulate me.

I came here
because I wanted to come.

Does this mean that you’ve already
agreed to join this harem?

Can you please leave.

I’ve warned you.

I’m leaving now, but I’ll be back.
And you’ll tell me then.

Hello, it’s Orzechowska.
Is Maria there?

Please tell her that I’ve made up my
mind.

Yes. I’ll came tonight with my
luggage.

Here we are. Here is a spare wardrobe.

You can choose a bed.

The window gets stuck a bit.

Maria?

Maybe this is not the right time,

but I thought that if we were
to work and live with us here

for so many months,
I wouldn't want,

or rather I would want
for you to like me a little.

I really came here just to work.

And did you think there
could be anything?

Well, no.

I know that this is your way of being.

I understand it. I know that you have
experienced a lot in your life.

Excuse me,

don't you think that’s a little bit
too early

for this kind of confidentiality?

I’m sorry. I didn't mean to
offend you.

I nearly forgot. Bozena asked
to give it back to you.

And I advise you, my dear, do not
interfere in anyone else's affairs.

She just seems hurt to me.
I felt sorry for her.

Six years ago, when she moved here
with her suitcases, she didn’t feel sorry

for Jerzy’s former wife.

So, I’ll repeat,

don't interfere in matters
you know very little about.

- I’ll be back in two days.
- Come back.

You will be needed here when we start
drawing it all.

Maria, you’ll walk her to the station,
won’t you?

You know…

Lately I felt so...

...so lost and tired.

I’m going to my mother’s now.

I’ll walk you there.

- Come on, let’s go.
- I won’t bother you.

It seems that I’ve actually interfered
unnecessarily.

You didn’t do anything wrong.

She’s still a child
who needs to be guided.

Otherwise everything would fall apart.

I don't think you should treat
her that way.

To me it’s inhuman and dishonest.

Have you seen an honest artist
who would write a poem

or a few bars of music?

Do you know what Dostoevsky was like?

Are you kidding me?

I am.

Let’s get to work.

There was another assistant here
before me, right?

You know that.

Can you tell me honestly
why she left?

She was crazy. She was making scenes.
Then she went to get treatment.

Ask Maria.

That’s what I thought.

Let’s get to work.
I have new arguments.

She is fiddling with her hat.
A very pretty one.

All right. It’s ready.

It’s ready. You’re the best. 18
again...

Did she leave?

She did.

Then join us.
We’ll talk in peace and quiet.

You know that I almost convinced her.

Not really.

I’m not going to work anymore today.

I feel sleepy.

She is wise and experienced,
but she doesn’t trust people.

This time she’s wrong.

How did you manage to survive
like this? In this world?

I think that if one wants something
and knows what it is,

one will always manage to survive.

It is not true that we are like
the reality that surrounds us.

Everyone has something of their own.

Remember not to lose it.

Exactly.

And I’d nearly given up.

With me, you had no choice.

Well, go then.

- I’ll draw a little, all right?
- No.

I want to be alone.

It’s just me.

Jerzy is in my place and asked me
to remind you

that tomorrow the larger important
trees on the site need to be re-measured,

and data for the landscape
architecture has to be collected.

Don’t forget the measuring tape.

Good night.

So, it’ me who’s panicking, not the
cooperative?

There’ll be no cooperative here.
Sooner hell freezes over.

- Get out of here!
- Calm down.

Measure the area...

None of this area measuring!
Leave! Get out of here!

- We’ll come back anyway.
- Get out of here!

All right. We’ll see.

What’s going on? What is this?

You bugger off as well.

- Right now!
- Ouch!

Why are you so uptight?

I didn't put it here, did I?

I have to work here, too.

Have a drink with us…

Damn it!

Shit!

We are drinking to our project.
Our joint project.

I wanted to tell you

that these people from the shipyard
were on the building site today.

The issue is quite serious.

I think we can no longer pretend
that we don't know anything.

We have to talk to them.

I told you once that politics
are for other people

and all we care about is work.

Well,

I’m off to bed.

And I advise you to do the same.

She...

...brought some samples,
she wants to work with us.

She's a great girl. Look…
After all, you must be good at it.

Come.

Yes, indeed.
I guess I'll go to bed, too.

I don't care about your deals!

We can no longer pretend
that we don’t know anything.

So, what if we have orders,

when sooner or later
everything will fall apart.

Their delegates came,
we had to agree with them.

People are fed up with money
being thrown down the drain.

What are you saying?! So,
according to you, building a museum

means throwing money down the drain?

What do you know
about society and culture?

Who gave you the right
to speak like that?

Jerzy, you misunderstand.

- The comrade meant...
- He meant me, right?

Only that I…

In my 30-year track record there
hasn't been a swindle or lousy work.

And everyone here knows about it.

- They want to build a housing estate.
- That’s nonsense.

I suppose they'll give it
to your offices. This can be arranged.

“Arranged”. That’s the only word they
know.

Arrange whatever you want,
but without me.

I understand it all.

But we can do nothing in this
situation.

Okay. I'll do it myself if I have to
...

There must still be people in this
country who haven’t lost their heads.

Take care Jerzy.

We are going to the ministry.

If they’ve given us the job,
they must be responsible for that.

I think I won't be needed there.

You are wrong.

If I’ll go...

then...

it would probably be better
if I stayed there.

For many reasons.

You will go and come back here.

It’s not fun.

And it is no longer a matter of your
choice.

Hello.
I came earlier, because...

Oh, Bozena. I'm glad you came back.

Clean up here. We're going to Warsaw.

This trip did you a lot of good.

All right.

Prepare something to eat.

And Ewa and I will take a walk.

Come on, Ewa.

She cannot draw at all.

I thought she would be useful, but
I'm afraid she will ruin everything.

I don't know who you are talking
about.

About this girl,
who stayed with us yesterday.

She must be replaced by someone else.

And do you think that’s all right,
after all that?

After what?

- Well.
- A...

These are two different things.

What? Do you think…

that I would let her ruin everything,

just because I’ve slept with her once?

For example, do you think
it would be good if we…

...were to spend a night together?

We are too much alike.

And we still have… too much to do
together.

Jerzy...

Okay. Maybe I won't kick her out yet.

Well?

I called several times.

You know...

Actually, where I live now there is
no phone and so…

- You've changed.
- Everyone changes.

Marek, you know what?

During that time, I understood

that one has be damn hard to do
what one wants,

what’s really important in life.

Do you think this museum is really so
important right now?

And do you think that this trip to
France is really so important now?

It was important to you,

when we were together,
when we were studying.

And now everything’s changed so
suddenly?

All right, Marek, I'll tell you what
you want to hear.

I fell in love.

It’s only your imagination.
You’ve made it up.

Yes. Maybe I have.

Don't you care
that you are not the only one?

You’ve always cared for your
independence and self-respect.

Marek...

See, apparently self-respect is not
what I need most right now.

Go now.
They’re coming back.

- When are you leaving?
- In four days.

Good luck.
Call me when you get back.

But you don’t have a phone.

Bye!

I’m sorry.

But we have to wait.

I made the appointment for 10.00,
right? I was punctual.

- He’ll be back at 2 pm.
- I’m back!

- Where’s Bozena?
- She went shopping.

- We are leaving immediately.
- That means you didn't get anything.

If they don't have time for me,
I don't care either.

We are doing the project and quickly!
Get in!

Well! Where?!

Sit in the back.

In the back.

From small to ever bigger.
In contrast to the Guggenheim Museum.

Ok. I think it would be good to
differentiate it not only by size.

Look, if we were to break this
geometry with such soft lines…

No, no.

It is too distinct, too intrusive.

All right. No problem.

Let’s have a break.

- It was supposed to be ready tomorrow.
- It was, but it's already late.

You go to bed and I'll finish it by
myself.

Do you know at least
why we have to do it?

I think I do.

After all, it’s not on that only housing
estates and nurseries are our legacy.

No one knows anything about those
hovels that surrounded

the Gothic cathedrals or Romanesque
castles.

Only works of art create world
history.

Jerzy, if I did not understand it,
I would probably...

I promise you that I will work
to my best ability.

- And when we finish...
- When we finish, I will leave.

All right.

Now you know everything.

Almost done. You'll be able to take it
to the office tomorrow.

Judgments on the Athlete's Card
have not yet resulted in a solution.

Just before 3.00 in the morning

the next round of talks between
the government team

and the National
Coordination Commission

of the seaport employees’ union
Solidarity

on the introduction of the
Athlete's Card

ended at the Maritime Economy
Office in Warsaw.

Since no agreement was reached...

Good morning.

Do you live here now?

You are pretty!

That’s good.

Be good to him.

Nowadays, there are few people like
him.

I’m sorry, I don’t understand.

He was always like that.

I knew he would be like that
when he was very small.

Did you know, he never wanted to
play with children.

He only read; and drew.

And listened to music.

I’m sorry. You’ve just arrived.
Please, come in.

Everyone is still sleeping,
but I’ll wake...

Does that mean that they...

that everything is as it was?

Yes. Perhaps. I’m very sorry.

All right?

- Any problems?
- We are just calculating.

Can I have a look?

Where are the dimensions?

What’s with those steps…
Who did that?

You have to correct it again.

- Are you finishing?
- Tomorrow.

Sorry, you’ll have to correct it.

Calculate it again.

Actually, that’s enough.

Where is Maria?

Maria won’t be here.
Jerzy asked her to stay home.

His mother came.
She has some important matter.

I brought these projections for you.

Jerzy worries that it will delay
the whole thing.

Nothing will be delayed.
See for yourself, how they work here.

I see. If we had everything ready now,

we could do something about it, we
could win; they wouldn’t stop it.

You are wrong.
They don't do it for a cause.

They know that sooner or later
it will be stopped.

But they want to make as much money
as possible.

I don’t understand, what you are
talking about.

The percentage of work equals the
percentage of pay.

Are you telling me,

that all of them are working here
just for money?

But that’s dishonest.

- Dishonest?
- Of course.

It’s simply dishonest.

And you? Tell me, but honestly,

are you doing all this for a cause,
or for yourself?

These are the projections for you.

Where is that little one?

Which one?

The one who worked on
the second drawing board.

She was doing details for us.
She was...

She’s no longer here.

Jerzy decided that
she didn’t know anything.

At the press conference,
Lech Walesa said

that it was the most substantial
and fruitful of all meetings to date.

A number of important resolutions
were adopted,

addressing both,
the situation in the country...

During the Gdansk talks, the National
Coordination Commission

gave its full support
to the social movement

for employee self-government,

expressed in the creation of
employee councils

and their founding committees.

It also took a stance on the bill
on trade unions.

They’ve asked me to get out.

I’ll sit here for a while.

Go on, sit.

What’s going on there?

I don’t know. She is terrible to him.
One has to fight with her over everything.

- Who?
- The old bag.

You mean the mother, right?

You're exaggerating. I talked to her.

It seemed to me she loves him very
much.

I don’t like her! Can’t stand her!

I’m so upset.

- Will you have a drink?
- No, thank you.

I don't advise you to either.

Maria checks these bottles.
You’ll be in trouble again.

I have my ways.

Well, have a drink.

No, thank you.

Bozena!

Oh hell!

I have to get back there.
Come with me to the kitchen.

I beg you. Come. Help me.

Bozena!

Put it away, all right?

I’ll go this way.

What is it, for Christ´s sake?! I’m
calling and calling… really!

All I need is problems with you as
well!

Well?

We’re going back to work.

What happened?

Can I help you with something?

You are clever, young...

Get out of here or you’ll will
become like them.

Get out as soon as possible.

Yesterday, you said something
different.

Yes?

Perhaps.

Give it to him.

And tell him that I had to leave
early.

We’ll use them as ducts for all
installations,

and they could also serve as
inspection passages for renovations.

Exactly. I said that all these things
should be left outside.

This is not a factory.

You’re talking as if you didn't know
what you were doing.

Jerzy, wait a minute!
I have something for you.

Your mother left it before she went.

Here.

So, she gave in.

Jerzy, listen.

I do not want to interfere
unnecessarily

in somebody else’s affairs again,

but what was yesterday’s
argument all about?

And is that why you are
so angry today?

We have almost nothing to live on.

Maria has been supporting us
for the past six months.

Do you know when I had
the last project?

A little longer and
this house will fall apart.

Wait!

Actually, why did you come back from
the States?

You would have work, money…

I couldn't live there either.

Look, I understand,
but I think that after all...

Do you think I would take
this ring if I had money?

I just want to have enough
to be able to work in peace,

to be independent of anyone,
not to have to do potboils!

Come in.

Sorry to bother you.

I’d like to talk to you.

Of course. However,
not at this hour perhaps.

Let’s do it tomorrow.

Yes. I’m very sorry.

You won’t mind if I sit here for a
while?

Of course not. Go on.

He is...

gentle in bed.

But he falls asleep right after it.

And I would need… to talk to him.

I’m not disturbing you, am I?

No. I said you don’t disturb me.

I fell in love with him as soon as I
saw him.

Such a great artist!

He had a wife, but she didn't love him
at all.

She didn't want to sacrifice anything
for him; not her job, nor her life.

An egoist.

Ewa?

Do you think I could achieve
something?

Be somebody...
Could I be somebody?

Sure, you could. Yes.

Do you know…

Apparently, I played quite well once.

But I fell in love
and sacrificed everything.

Everyone loves him.

You love him, too, in a way.

And Maria.

Platonically, of course.

I tell you a secret.

She had a boyfriend once.

She was a leader of the Trade Union;

and he was, you know,
“politically unsound”

and she had to… you understand?

She turned him in, right?

Yes. And then she tried
to commit suicide.

She decided to devote herself to work;
without any men.

Sometimes it may seem
that he is mean to me.

But that’s not true.

The main thing is that
he doesn’t cheat on me.

Do you know what?

Go to bed, all right?

He doesn’t cheat on me, right?

Are you really as stupid as you look?

Leave this bottle
or it will end badly for you.

- You’re disturbing me.
- And you being here disturbs me!

- Go to bed!
- You being here disturbs me!!

You wanted to talk to me, so here I
am.

It no longer matters.

No.

Anyhow, Jerzy is downstairs

and he would like to start work
earlier today.

I’ll be down soon.

I have just lain down.

In Savigny there is a slab pressed
into the ground like a coin

and the lighting comes out from there.

In Poland, they have no idea about it,

but this is a chance for us and
it is something for you.

Jerzy, maybe I'll finish it tomorrow.
I'll go lie down.

It has to be ready tomorrow.

We'll stay a little longer and
get it done.

Look. I must have a couple of hours
sleep, at least.

I feel tired.

My dear, this is not fun.

It must be ready for tomorrow
and you know it.

You’ve made your decision.

Ewa, don’t joke!

Maria!

Maria!

What happened?

Oh my God!

She fainted.

You’ve worked her to death.

Why are you standing around for
Christ’s sake? Call a doctor!

Water!

Just wait... wait…

Why don’t you eat?

My hands are numb.

It’s nicotine poisoning.
A week in bed and it’ll be gone.

- I have to finish it off.
- I'll finish it.

There are a few mistakes;
I'll have to correct them anyway.

It’s not true. There are no mistakes.

I checked it many times.

Can Jerzy come here?

I want to talk to him.

He is very busy now.

But of course, I’ll tell him.

Bozena is feeling very bad.

Take care of her.

Yes. You’re right. I’ll go to her.

I’ll finish it all by myself.

Thank you, Maria. You’re a wonderful
friend, as always.

I don’t know what I would do without
you!

Miss Ewa?

It’s me.

I came to talk to Jerzy and...

I thought I'd see how you are.

What happened?

Tell me, please.

I’m all alone here.

I’ve asked him to come,
but he never bothered.

Do you know that I am a prisoner here?

Please, calm down.
When you get better...

Please.

Please, take me away from here.

Take me away from here. Call a taxi.
I want to go back to the hotel.

Please!

I’m sorry, but if you want to come
with us, we are waiting in the car.

Stay here. Please.

Don't leave me here, alone.

I have an appointment about the
project.

I’ll be back.

I’ll be back.

Did something happen?

Jerzy?

What happened?

Nothing happened.

They don’t want the museum.

Jerzy, I told you, you have to talk
to them, you have to convince them.

You sit here idly. You’re holed up.

I don’t think that’s on!
You can’t give up!

I think, you have to fight.

I can’t do it.

Right. Let’s calm down.

Couldn’t this be done for him?

Can't you do it just for him?
After all, he is your man.

I don’t know...

after all, you know him better than I.

It's important that he never made any
deals, that his hands are clean.

That he didn't use protection,
connections...

One person is not important today.
Causes are important today.

Exactly. Isn’t this a cause?

Isn't it important for us to do
something now,

something that
we will leave behind?

Something permanent,
something crucial.

This museum will be… I don't know…

It will be what we live for now,
it will be a symbol.

Yes. Only this city lacks
flats, nurseries and kindergartens.

Nobody cares about symbols anymore.

Yes. But there were worse times
and people gave up all this

for the really important things,
things that remain, right?

I'm sure they’ll understand,
only you have to explain it to them.

I can’t do it.
I’m a stranger here.

What you are saying is very beautiful,

but today everyone wants
to live comfortably.

Not go hungry. Earn money.

One more thing.

With this project...

it is also the matter of your work
that you’ve put into it.

If you won’t convince them...

nobody will pay you for it.

Then why the hell don't you want
to at least try?!

All right. We’ll try.

All right.

They’ll do it for money.

And this way, you won't be able to
go back to Warsaw...

Three cheers for Jerzy!
Three cheers for Jerzy!

For he's a jolly good fellow,
For he's a jolly good fellow.

For he's a jolly good fellow!

Which nobody can deny,
Which nobody can deny!

I must thank you.

Could these eyes be lying?
Don’t think so.

Could they break a heart?
No, no, no.

Sit down.

If it wasn't for you, I’d stop
believing in anything.

I stopped believing that the world
still has something to offer.

I did it...

not only for this cause.

I did it for you.

You don't know how much it cost me.
I had a tiny...

I doubted…
whether I was doing the right thing.

Yes? But you did it.

Yes.

I did it for you.

You are the first real woman
that I met in my life.

It is my great happiness
that I met you.

This is the political rhythm
of the generation.

Get up!

I’m going to dance.

Jerzy, she’s drunk.
We have to do something.

Get lost!

Don't you understand, it’s serious
this time.

Jerzy, stop it, please!

We have to do something.

Leave it!

Let her have her day as well.

I’ve had enough. I’m going upstairs.

I’ll wait for you there.

Maria! Maria!

- Maria, you are drunk!
- So, what?

Hands off, mate. Calm down.

Get up!

Maria? Maria?

Get up!

Maria?

As soon as I saw you…
I knew right away...

Maria, calm down!

- I hate you!!!
- All right. Calm down.

Get away from me!!!

Out of my way!

- She’s just a drama queen, come on…
- Get your paws off me!

Let me go!

Maria?! Maria?!

Maria?

Maria!

Maria, please. Maria, wait!

Jesus! Wait!

Maria!

I’ll drown myself, you son of a bitch!
I’ll drown myself!

I’ll drown myself!

Maria!

Maria!

Maria!

Maria!

Maria! Maria!

Maria!

Let me go!

Have you gone mad?!

I’ll call them!

They are all drunk!

Go and get an ambulance!

Jerzy?

Jerzy?

He is nowhere here.
I don’t know what happened.

Go and lay down. I’ll stay with her.

Finally.

I hope these robots have gone to work.

I really have to thank you
for your protection.

My God, it’s the first time in my life
that I agreed to a deal.

Come here.

Come.

Do you know what happened?
Give over! You don’t know anything.

Maria tried to commit suicide.

Is she alive?

She’s alive.

Jerzy, don't you understand
that we are to blame for this?

Calm down. Calm down.

Jerzy, what’s that?
Jerzy, have you gone mad?!

- You have to think of yourself only.
- Jerzy!

Everyone got what they deserve!

Let go of me!

I’m sorry.

Let me go!

Looks like we had good fun.

Jerzy just got us drunk.

- Wacek, get up.
- Are we going?

Get up!

I wasn’t right after all.

There are no causes worth sacrificing
people’s wellbeing.

- Have a sleep.
- No. Wait!

Don’t you understand?

You can’t let them build this museum.

- But you convinced us.
- You can’t!

We are serious people.
For us, our word is our word.

I’m sorry. Good night.

Part of the motorcade
was stopped by the militia

at the corner of Al. Jerozolimskie
and Marszałkowska.

There is a traffic jam there.
The city centre is...

I think,
that we should...

leave this place.

All of us.

Pack my things from the wardrobe.

I won't need these papers anymore.

And all of this?

All of this...

Let him sell it now himself.

- You won't go anywhere!
- I will.

They will leave. And you will stay
here.

Listen.

I used to think that too, you know.

I was slaving away.

Killing myself for your wonderful
cause.

I even cheated myself.

And now I know it was all a façade.
It was your selfishness.

No. No. No.
It wasn’t a façade or selfishness.

That’s the one permanent thing,
the only real value in my life.

Yes. Except that your real value
is not the same as mine.

Let me go.

Ewa, I don’t think it’s right,

but if you want,
I’ll give up the project.

Have you gone mad?

Jerzy.

It’s not about this project.
It’s not about the museum.

It’s about all this.

With you, I will change.

No. You will never change.

Because if you change,
you’ll stop being yourself.

And if you stop being yourself,
you’ll start lying.

You will lose what’s best in you.

You will lose your power.

You’ll be a nobody.

Please.

Calm down!

That’s 37, 50.

Just a minute.

I have no change.

Here we are. And 50, there...

I knew she would go back to him.

Calm down. Let’s go.

Lady zoo, zoo, zoo,
Lady sha, sha, sha...

- Hello.
- Hello.

Sit here.

I’ll look for some more seats.

- The gentleman will help you.
- Of course.

Can I take your coat?
