TALKING HEADS

What is your year of birth?

Who are you?

What do you most wish for?

I'm two.

- Who are you?
- I'm Waldek.

- What do you want?
- Nothing.

- Who are you?
- A toddler.

- What do you want?
- To be a Syrena car.

- Who are you?
- I don't know.

- What do you want?
- To paint a house. To have a house.

I'm an ugly brunette.

I'd like to leave school
and have fine babies.

I'm not sure who I am,
but I love reading books.

I'd like to go to America.

I think I'm a little different
from my friends.

I'd like the Pope to come to Poland.

I'm not yet ready
to make serious decisions.

What I'd like most in daily life

is for people to show
more respect for each other.

People should pay more attention
to each other.

There should be more love
within society.

I'm a bit of an egoist,
I don't respect everybody.

Yet I'm a good friend.
It sounds odd, but that's how it is.

What would I like?
To change my character.

I'd be happier
without my bad points.

If I decide on something,
I usually do it.

What would I like? I'd like everyone
to do something for others.

They work only for themselves,
not others.

I'd like them to understand

that material things alone
do not create happiness.

I was in a children's home.

I'd like everyone to have
a happy childhood.

Childhood should be beautiful.

I'm rather uncomplicated,
no problems, no conflicts.

I face life with a smile.

I'd like that to continue.

I'm a girl who doesn't
reconcile dreams

with their practical realisation.

I'd like to be more certain
about my criteria

to know good from bad.

I'm a non-problematic dreamer
and optimist.

I'd like to escape the town

to live with nature and animals.

So far, I'm a nobody.

It could last for some time.

But I'd like to become...

what is called...

a human person.

In the present stage of my life,
I'm still taking, not giving.

I'm still acquiring values.

I want freedom
in the broad sense,

not just freedom for the strong.

I'm a student. I still have time
to make a firm decision

which will bind me
for the rest of my life.

I don't like
the aggression in people.

They hate and fear each other.

I'd like to see them
fight against this attitude.

I'm a single mother.
I feel alone at home.

Here at the clinic,
I'm among people, life.

I'd like to save a life,
all by myself.

I'm an engineering graduate,
still full of moral principles, ideas.

I'd like to stay that way.

I'm a driver.

I'd like Polish people
to work better.

I'm an alpinist.

Here, there's no other way
of proving ourselves,

only the mountains.

For me, the most important thing
is courage.

I suppose I want the same
as everyone else.

I'd most like...

people to conduct their lives
normally,

unaffected by fear.

I'd like them not to be
afraid of others.

I've worked in many places.
I've been a clerk.

Now I'm an electrician
and I'm very satisfied.

I don't think the young should worry
about the future too much.

Seize the day.

That's always been my philosophy.

I consider myself a realist.

What would I like?

To provide a modest,
decent life for my family.

I'm a history teacher.

The freedom to decide my own fate
matters most to me.

I'm a Catholic.

I'd like to have my own house,
a nice place to live.

I consider myself a humanist.

It may seem unrealistic,
but what I want in life

is a genuine introduction
of democracy and tolerance.

I'm a youth activist.

I represent a youth organisation.

I'd like to do the same
in the economic field.

I'm studying for that.

I think I have everything
an average person should have.

It's all right, but I feel
something's missing.

I'd like a change,
some achievements.

I don't know what,
something different.

I'm working, but more importantly,
I have two children.

I dislike pushy people.

I'd like more heart and wisdom.

I'm a father and a civil servant.

I think the most difficult thing

is to live in accordance
with one's conscience.

It may sound banal,
but it's very hard.

I have two children.
I've written two novels.

My fears? I've seen an envelope
from abroad, franked with the words:

"The ability to write
is a root of democracy."

I fear the lack of real public debate.
It's pre-arranged.

A lack of exchange of ideas,

that's what worries me.

Fewer and fewer books,
the conveyors of thoughts,

may result in what that franked
envelope was about:

the twilight of democracy.

I'm a real worker.

I'd like people to be more honest

and justice to be better.

Now that I'm a taxi driver,
I feel freer.

But I realise that personal freedom
is not enough.

To be really liberated and free

requires democracy and security.

Personal freedom is not enough.

I'm a chemical engineer.
Now I drink.

What do I want?

Nothing.
Everything is just fine.

Who am I?
That's a difficult question.

There are so many expectations,
it's impossible to remain unchanged.

I'd like to live in a real world,
not one of fiction and facades.

I live in Warsaw. I'm a sociologist.

I'm a person of some responsibility,
and little sense of humour.

Characteristics unhelpful in my life.

As for my wishes...

they are in this order:

Good health for myself
and my loved ones,

and in general...

less suffering and humiliation for people
in my country and all over the world.

I'm caught between two mysteries.

One is natural reality.
I'm a human being.

The second is very strong,
it is my faith, my relationship with God.

It makes me happy

because I can help others
to be better, to be happy.

What do I wish for?

To paraphrase
a well-known exhortation:

"Workers of the world, unite!"

I'd like good people to unite

not against somebody,
but for good.

All my life I've tried not to lie,

to have an open face.

What would I like?

I'd like people
to be grateful to each other.

All my life, I've given.

I worked... to the best
of my ability and health.

There's a competition
for a monument to Słowacki.

I'd like to make
a good project for that.

I live with my memories: pre-war,

the underground resistance,
the great reconstruction after the war.

Not all my dreams came to fruition.

I'd like my sons, or perhaps my grandsons,
to reap the benefits.

I'm a humanist...

in my profession and convictions.

I'm convinced that it's imperative
to observe human rights and the law,

the right to one's own
views and dignity.

As for my wishes,

I wish tranquillity
for the world and myself.

I've been a widow for two weeks.

Widow of the late Stanislaw.

That's all.

What do I want? Nothing.

I'm one hundred years old.

- What do you want?
- I'm sorry?

What do you want?

How much more do I want?
To live longer.

Much longer.
