What would I like from life?

I'd like to accomplish something.

I'd like to have a good job,

a position,

earn some money.

I'd like to have a girlfriend.

A girl you'd be proud to walk
arm in arm with

and marry.

And most importantly, a flat.

One, two, three, four...

Attention.

Citizen Wieczorek is requested to
proceed to the Company Commission.

Citizen Wieczorek is requested to
proceed to the Company Commission.

That's the best way, isn't it?

Yes, I think so.

It's simple. We'll issue a statement.
There's no need to change anything.

You see Mr. Wieczorek,

you've been a member of our
Accommodation Co-op for 5 years.

Actually, that's not very long.

There are people more entitled
to get a flat

but we want to give young people
a chance.

And we thought of you.

Thank you.

The thing is...

this flat is reserved for promising
married couples,

and you put down your mother
in your application.

We have to do this by the book.

You and your mother are not exactly
a promising couple, are you?

I assume, you have a girlfriend,
Mr. Wieczorek?

Surely, there are enough
beautiful women in the plant.

In a nutshell, we have to act quickly

or they'll allot this flat
to another company.

You were planning to get married,
weren't you?

Yes, of course.

For the record.

On behalf of the youth organization
I wanted to stress

that Mr. Wieczorek
is our active member,

a frequent volunteer and our board
fully supports his candidature.

So, what's there to talk about?

It's just a formality then.
Pass me the forms, please.

Here you are.

Yes?

- Let me give you a hand.
- No, thank you.

- It's too heavy.
- Alright, thanks.

I think I've seen you before.

I've lived here all my life.

Really? I've only been here a year.

- I know. I remember you moving in.
- Do you?

- Isn't it too heavy?
- No, why?

This is it. Thank you.

- My name is Edek.
- Halina.

- Edek Wieczorek.
- Halina Maczka.

Great.

What next?

Nothing...

- You know everyone here, don't you?
- Yeah.

It's a bit awkward to talk out here.
The neighbours will be talking.

Maybe we could get together
on Sunday?

- Oh?
- We could go dancing.

Would you like to go out with me?

- Yes.
- Really? You like me so much?

Yes.

A lot or just a bit?

A lot.

Ok, see you then.

- Sunday then?
- Yes, yes.

7pm?

Halina.

I couldn't make it.

I'm not upset, really.

Maybe we could arrange something
another time. I'm busy now.

Halina, wait...

- I've got something important
to tell you. - I've got to go.

- But I've got to tell you today.
- What is it?

You see I'm getting a flat.

Congrats.

- Well, you understand.
- No, I don't.

- Don't you understand?
- No.

You see, it's a family flat.

- For you and your family?
- Well, yes.

I can't be single
if I'm going to get it.

But the way things have
worked out...

I am single.

Are you proposing?

Yes,

yes,

because I like you.

It's a modern flat in a blok,
with all the conveniences...

- It there hot water?
- Sure.

By the way, what do you do?

I work at a plant.
I'm a trolleyman.

So, do you think we could
be a couple?

Sure.

I wouldn't call her ugly.
But she's no Sleeping Beauty.

What is it with you and Halina?

You have a flat, son.

You could have any bride
you want.

And I will.

Wouldn't you prefer
Genia Kaczmarek?

She isn't ugly either.

And they have it so neat in the flat.

Why are you trying to fix me up
with other girls? I like Halina.

That Halina Maczka...

They say bad things about her family.

Don't listen to malicious talk.

Apparently, her older sister
is a right harlot.

- Have you seen her?
- That's what they say.

Whatever.

And it is how people see it.

Anyway, I'm not getting married
to her sister, am I?

What's the fuss about?

I'm going to see
the Kaczmareks for a moment.

- Hi.
- Morning.

I thought about you yesterday.

- Did you?
- Yes, I did.

I was listening to Czerwone Gitary...

- Really?
- Did you think about me?

Yes... on the job.

Did you, really?

What about the flat?

Well, you know...
There are forms to fill.

Bring them over.
We can do it together.

Alright.

Halina.

Go,

see you.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- Why weren't you at the meeting
yesterday? - Something came up.

- We were counting on you.
- Things happen.

Try not to let us down in the future.

- OK.
- See you later.

See you.

I told you I won't wear a scarf.

Hello Mr. Pawlak.

- Hi.
- Hi.

What are you standing there for?

What?

- I've come to get some water.
- Water, is it?

What have you got so dressed up for
then?

- Is it not allowed?
- It is.

Do I work to hide them or wear them?

You're alright.

What are you doing?

- I've come to get water.
- Fancy dropping by?

What for?

My cousin's here? She's a good lass.
It could be fun.

My girlfriend's there. It will be weird,
just the three of us.

- So, are you coming?
- I can't.

Why not?

- What's up with you?
- Want a fag?

Edek, like one mate to another,
are you coming?

- To yours?
- Yeah.

So?

- What's there to think about?
- I don't know...

Got anything better to do?

She's a smashing girl.

- Come on then.
- And the bucket?

Fuck the bucket.

Mother, the bucket.

Good evening.

Look at them sitting there.

So what?

- Nothing.
- What's got into you?

- Nothing, why?
- Let's go dancing, come on.

Come on.

I didn't expect to end up
at a party today, you know.

Out of the blue.

- So what? It's fun, isn't it?
- Sure.

- I'm from Pabianice, you know.
- Yeah?

But I'll be moving to Lodz.

There are better prospects here.

- You can manage somehow.
- Definitely.

- I'd like to live here.
- Here? - Yeah. Sorry.

But it's hard to get registered here.

I know but when I become a tram driver,

when I enroll on a course
I'll live here anyway.

Why are you moving away?
Why are you moving?

- What are you hiding there?
- A piece of paper. - Show me.

- Haven't you seen paper?
- No, I haven't. Take it out.

- What? - Show me. Is it top-secret
documents, or what?

Give it to me.

- Are you trying to get a flat?
- Yeah.

An ordinary one
or with conveniences?

With conveniences.

- I've had enough of the old one.
- You're a great guy.

Boss!

Can I talk to you, boss?

What about?

I'm getting a family flat, you see.

- I've heard.
- But I'm single.

That's no good.

I mean I've got two girlfriends.

Who are they?

One's from Pabianice
and the other one lives nearby.

Which one's better?

Both are good.

But I've got to choose.

Bring them to me.
I'll tell you which one's better.

And now, back to work.
Chop chop.

Halina!

Hi.
You didn't recognize me?

I've been looking for you
for a few days.

I couldn't make it that time.
I had lots to do at the office.

We're closing the quarter and
I'm snowed under.

- Are you angry with me?
- No.

Edek, would you like to go
to the cinema tonight?

I can't really.

It's a great film
and I've got two tickets.

- I can't.
- How about tomorrow?

- Hi.
- Hi.

That's the man I was telling you
about.

Hello.

Hello.

No, no.

Take a seat.

Dad! Come on.

Would you like to take off your coat?
I'll hang it up.

Let's go to the living room, Mr.?

- Edek.
- Edek. Go ahead.

Don't be shy. Go inside.

After you.

So, young man, will you be getting
that flat?

They said I should be getting
it in a month.

It's through the Company Commission.
It's a new flat in a block of flats.

- Yes, of course.
- A comfortable one.

Of course. And you're thinking
about Halinka?

Halinka is very gentle.

She works at an office.
Halinka! Bring in the gherkins.

But could a woman like that
get dinner ready on time?

- Or clean up?
- Why not?

She'll be scared to ruin her hands.

Our older daughter,
Vacia, on the other hand...

She'll do everything for you.

A natural-born wife and housekeeper.

Why are you telling me about Vacia

when I've already handed in
my application with Halina.

I'm being honest with you.

You'd be happier with that one, son.

And you two fit better.

Don't worry about the papers.
It's the same name.

The rest can be changed.

But you marry someone you like.

And I like Halina.

Do as you wish.

How's the stew?

Vacia made it.

Sitting there with dry glasses?

What has the world come to
that a suitor arrives without a bottle?

When we're family we'll have plenty
of occassions to have a drink.

I'd like to believe that!

You always have to cause trouble.

What's it got to do with you,
you snotnosed brat?

Do you play?

- Cards?
- Yes, I do.

Of course, I play practically all
games.

Really?

Shall we play Rummy?
Or Pitch?

How about Twenty-eight?
I only know how to play Twenty-eight.

Do you know how to play it?

- I know all of them.
- Great. Let's play Twenty-eight.

- If Halinka wants to.
- OK. Let's play.

So, young man?

What's going on? You've promised
a bottle, and where is it?

- I've heard you're seeing Halina?
- Yeah.

You're not the only one.

And?

- Have you seen it?
- That's what they say.

What's it got to do with you?

It's my business.

I know you, so I'm telling you.

Edek! Finally!

I'm so happy to see you!

I haven't seen you so long.

- Hi.
- Hi. What have you been up to?

Why so long?
How are things?

- Fine, same old.
- How same old?

You know what?
You really left me hanging.

- Don't say that.
- Why not? That's true.

- But I knew her before you.
- I know but...

- We live in the same house.
- Yes, I know.

Do you think you'll be happy with her?

- Yeah.
- Really?

You don't sound too convincing...

As though you weren't sure. Are you?

Why not? Of course, I am.

You think so.

- Tell me about her. Is she pretty?
- She's pretty too.

What do you mean by 'too'?
Do you like me?

- Yes?
- Yeah.

Really?
That's nice.

It's getting cold, isn't it?

- Yeah.
- OK, see you.

- See you, Lidka.
- Bye.

See you.

Halina.

Edek, what is it?
Were you waiting for me?

Of course.

We haven't seen each other for
four days.

I've sorted out all the papers
and submitted them.

Everything's ready.

We are... We'll be getting married soon...

and we don't see each other.

But Edek, I only love you.

I'm further from work now.
And you're closer.

Five minutes at the most.

Yeah alright!
At least fifteen.

- Don't be silly.
- Where the hell is Vacia?

What do we need her for?
Aren't we happy alone?

What can I talk to you about?

There's always something.

Leave it. You'll crease it.

Come here, Halina.

How's that?

A bit more to the left. OK.

- More?
- OK, that's fine.

Maybe a little bit to the wall.

A bit more towards the wall.

OK. That's it.

Is that OK?

It should have three doors.

They only had these.

These are out now.

- Why? It's a nice wardrobe.
- It is to you.

But they only had these, really.

I asked about three-door ones
but they didn't have any.

- How's that possible?
- It is.

All my friends have them.

- I'll get us some tea.
- Go ahead.

- Nice view, isn't it?
- As everywhere.

If you want a bath
you'll have to wait till I finish.

Leave it.

Leave me alone!
That's all you want to do!

But Halina!

Leave it. You're useless.

You know nothing about politics.

What's that got to do with anything?

My friends' husbands go on
business trips, and you?

Have you ever been on a business trip?

- Come on, have you?
- No, I haven't. - You haven't.

And you never will.

What time do you call this?
Who was that?

I saw you through the window.

Why are you so late?
Were you at work?

- Of course.
- Who walked you?

I'm here all alone, and you...

- Who walked you?
- Beat it.

- Who were you standing there with?
- Someone from the office.

He walked me.
Come on. Let's go home. Come on.

- Hello.
- Hello.

Halinka is not home?

No, she went to the cinema.

- She's always at the cinema.
- She likes it.

And she probably left you hungry?

- No, I had a lie-in.
- I'll get it.

You've got it so nice here now.

Yeah, quite.

- We're still missing a few things.
- You'll see.

You'll have everything.
You're both still young.

Sure.

- They've transferred me to machines.
- Really? - I'll get more money.

You're going places, brother-in-law.

I'm not complaining.

Bon apetite.

Halinka, what's happened?

Halinka!

Halina, what are you doing?

Halinka,

leave it!

Stop this nonsense, you lunatic!

Halina...

Halina? What's happened?
Where are you going?

It's Sunday today.
Halina leave it...

Halina!

Hello.

These are from the Company Commission
for you and your wife.

These are for your wife. All the best!

Hello.

What a beautiful room!
So nicely decorated.

I've got to see the bathroom.
