[man on radio in English] I love these marginal spheres

where different identities intermingle, and so on.

This is usually the source of the site where interesting things happen.

-I'm just saying, don't enforce it. -[van accelerates]

-It's a catastrophe. -[woman on radio] So, what I wanna know is

are we better off being part of one big happy family

-or are we-- -[man on radio] This family

is not happy, we all know. I think the only way to fight

the destructive aspect of global capital

is through transnational connections.

The problems we are facing today, intellectual property,

ecological problems...

[frenetic classical music playing]

[peeing sound]

[man on radio] My ideal today is not

to live together with all different races, cultures, we love each other.

No! I admit it openly.

There are things about them I don't understand. Probably,

-many things appear weird to them... -[car door opens]

...in what I do. I want polite ignorance.

-[door closes] -Then, from time to time,

of course, it's wonderful.

[woman on radio] Then, you have polarized communities

and that then is the problem

that gives rise to extremism.

People living entirely separate lives--

[man on radio] No, here comes another problem.

I claim that extremists... Look closely at their life stories.

[Aleks] Welcome.

[in French] So...

So... You're taller than I imagined.

Uh...

You're shorter than I imagined.

Obviously!

Okay, come join us for dinner in 20 minutes.

[chuckles]

I'm sorry for this. I'm a bit, um... How do you say...

Shit.

-Uh-- -[in English] Can I have the code?

[in English] The code?

Yeah, for the door.

-[in Slovenian] I'm going to start. -[beeping]

[soft music playing]

[Agata in English] So, Julien, how old are you?

-I'm 25. -[in English] Twenty-five.

I've told you this.

Why were you late?

Come on, he already apologized.

[in Slovenian] He said he lost track of time.

-Yes. -But he's wearing a watch.

[in English] Yeah, but look.

It stopped working.

[in English] Then why do you keep wearing it?

Agata!

[in Slovenian] That's very kind of you.

[in Slovenian] Fuck you.

[in English] Agata, behave!

Why don't we take a photo of us all? Hm?

Come on, let's do one.

Okay.

[footsteps]

[Aleks in Slovenian] This is going to be great.

Um...

Yeah...

[countdown beeping]

-[camera shutter clicks] -[in Slovenian] Okay.

-[in Slovenian] Let me see. -[Aleks] Yes.

-[Agata speaking Slovenian] -[Aleks] Mm.

[Aleks tuts]

[in English] Let's make another one, please.

And Julien, uh...

Could you take off your jacket?

It's better, so...

[countdown beeping]

Come on.

Be serious. Smile everyone.

[ding]

[chuckles]

[keyboard sounds]

[ding]

[exhales]

[tuts]

[Aleks] Fuck!

[in French] Impressive.

[exclaims then scoffs]

[chuckles]

[in English] So, long-time hobby?

Actually, only since we moved here this spring.

And I became a man of nature.

[woman speaking in Slovenian on podcast]

[in Slovenian] How long does he intend to stay?

[woman on podcast] We'll relax our whole body.

-No need to hurry. -Hm?

How long does he intend to stay, exactly?

[woman on podcast] We breathe calmly and steadily.

We are relaxed.

Mm-hmm.

Besides, we all became very accustomed

to meeting people online.

He is "people" to you?

-[in English] Please come in. -[woman in English] Thank you. Thank you.

[woman in Slovenian] Our car broke down.

We know. We saw it.

The engine just burst into flames...

[man] We lost everything.

-[door closes] -[beeping]

[device] Door locked.

I'm sorry to hear about your problems with the car.

Can I use your bathroom?

[inhales]

Yes.

Yes, of course.

[water running]

Mila.

Olivia.

[Mila's husband clears throat]

[speaking Slovenian]

[crickets chirping]

[dog barking in distance]

When can we go to sleep?

[Mila] Thank you for taking us in.

Staying outside all night would be tough.

Of course. You can stay here tonight.

Aleksander will take you to town tomorrow.

To town?

Where were they headed to anyway?

My sister has a small house nearby.

Like a weekend cottage.

So... Tourists then?

[in English] Good night.

[Mila in English] Good night.

-[crickets chirping] -[owl hooting]

[in Slovenian] Olivia...

Olivia!

I don't get why I had to open the door.

And now we have three strangers in the house.

Four.

What?

Go to sleep.

Hi.

[in Slovenian] Fucking elite. And their privileged children!

[device] Not accepted.

[scoffs]

[device chimes then beeps]

Not accepted.

[birds chirping]

[in Slovenian] Julien?

Olivia!

Olivia!

Olivia!

Stop yelling! What's happening?

I couldn't sleep all night.

If you were truly awake, this wouldn't have happened!

What? What happened? Fodder for a novel?

Stop it, Olivia!

They stole the damn car. Who knows what else?

-The refugees? -What refugees?

They're not refugees. Agata? Where is she?

Sleeping. In our bed.

Where is Julien?

[Aleks] Is everything in there?

-[Aleks] My mom's earrings? -You mean mine?

You know what I mean!

[speaking indistinctly]

[in English] Good morning.

[in English] Morning.

[in English] Morning.

[in English] You're leaving?

Where are the tourists?

[Aleks] Uh... They had to leave early.

-[in Slovenian] Homework. -[in Slovenian] Leave me alone!

[Aleks in Slovenian] Agata, you have to.

[in English] She's starting a new school in a few weeks and needs to catch up.

She's fallen a bit behind because...

[Julien] That's great.

You'll make new friends.

Not really.

It'll be all online.

[Olivia] It's better to keep her at home.

Of course.

[footsteps]

[door opens]

-[beeping] -[door locks]

[device] Door locked.

[frenetic classical music playing]

[birds chirping]

[in Slovenian] We should have taken the car or ordered delivery.

Fresh air will do us good.

You're right.

To breathe and relax.

[gunshot]

Probably hunters...

-Hunters? -Mm.

[gunshot]

It just sounds like they're close.

[Aleks clears throat]

Not as bad as I expected.

[mysterious music playing]

Did you know hybrid cars like ours

have the highest fire rate per 100,000 vehicles.

Meanwhile, regular ones like this one

with only internal combustion placed second.

So, the risk is actually higher for us than for them.

Well, okay, they had bad luck.

But anyway.

Fully electric cars are the safest.

We should think about getting a new car.

It's a valid suggestion.

[relaxing music playing]

[PA chimes]

[woman speaking indistinctly over PA]

[Mila in Slovenian] Excuse me, where do you keep footballs?

On the other side? Thank you.

[PA chimes]

[woman speaking indistinctly over PA]

If you were across the street looking at me,

do you think you'd be able to see me through the window?

[crows cawing]

[soft music playing]

Don't wave.

Come on. Let's go!

[speaking indistinctly]

[traffic humming]

[churchbell ringing]

[Aleks] Is this new?

It was new. A month ago.

And after this?

Surely something good.

Don't be sarcastic.

No, I'm serious.

I don't know yet.

I don't have anything.

[sighs]

[sighs]

I think it would be good for you to keep yourself busy.

And how do you keep yourself busy?

[orange squelching]

You know I'm a writer.

[scoffs]

Okay, I try to write.

I need a bit more time to get in the zone.

It is not uncommon for writers to experience a block.

And inspiration can't be predicted.

It could happen tomorrow or even tonight.

And then it's done in a couple of days.

I just have to wait for the right moment.

You wrote one piece in your life.

Yes.

-People like it. -A lot!

Okay. A lot.

Twenty years ago.

Quitting your job, a well-paid job, to be a writer

doesn't make you a writer.

[Aleks] I just had a great idea!

Why don't you make something yourself?

-Here. -What?

An exhibition, an installation. It doesn't matter.

You could invite friends for a party at our house.

Announce that you have your own project in the pipeline.

That's the most idiotic thing I've ever heard.

[crickets chirping]

[birds tweeting]

[shower running]

[in English] Get out.

Is that good enough proof for you that we're brother and sister?

[in English] Half-brother.

And half-sister.

Hand me a towel.

Why did you come?

Olivia told me you're poor.

And that I shouldn't ask you about it.

Really?

What does Aleksander say?

I never knew you even existed in my previous life.

[Julien scoffs]

You've lived before?

Yeah. Once.

So, why did you come?

He asked me to come.

Aleks?

You call him Aleks?

Sometimes.

What do you call him?

[in French] "Dad"?

[scoffs]

[device] Door unlocked.

[door closes]

[device] Door locked.

[in French] Hi.

[Olivia in Slovenian] Agata?

What was that?

Everything okay?

Did you do any of the schoolwork at all?

[sighs]

[exhales]

[Agata in English] I hate homeschooling. I hate it!

[in French] Damn, this is hard.

[in English] Oh, I see.

P-p-putain...

-"Putain." -Putain.

-"C'est." -C'est.

-"Dur." -Dur.

-"Putain, c'est dur." -Putain, c'est dur.

[in English] You have to mean it. "Putain, c'est dur!"

-Putain, c'est dur! -[in English] Yeah, really like...

-Putain! -Putain!

-Putain, c'est dur! -Putain, c'est dur!

-Putain, c'est dur! -[laughs] Putain, c'est dur!

Congratulations."

[clears throat] Yes, I just received it.

Thanks, yes, we are very happy.

Mm-hmm. Over the moon!

[laughs]

Uh...

A perfect family? Well...

Yes...

Like a Zoom interview?

Ah, you mean, a video presentation of our family?

Okay. Aha.

All the shortlisted families, mm-hmm.

[birds chirping]

[inaudible dialogue]

[somber music playing]

[Agata in Slovenian] I've got something for you.

What the hell is this?

Dinner?

Leaving it lying in the forest would be a waste.

You went out?

You know you're not supposed to be out there alone.

[Agata] It's breathing!

[Olivia] Oh, my God!

[mosquitoes buzzing]

-[thuds] -[rabbit squeals]

[Aleks pants] Oh.

-[in English] You okay? -Okay.

-Let me help you. -[in French] It's okay.

No need!

[water bubbling]

[in Slovenian] Damn it! Agata! What the hell?

I'm trying to rest, okay?

From what?

Excuse me?

[beeping then hot tub jets stop]

Agata! Come back!

Come back! Agata!

I promise you will look beautiful.

Yeah?

I'm already afraid.

Don't talk.

You look happy.

One thing is missing.

Choose.

There are so many to choose from.

It takes a while for hair to grow back.

So, I just cut it.

Well, this one looks nice.

Good choice.

Thank you.

[soft music playing]

[dance music playing]

[in Slovenian] Dear friends, hello!

Shut it off.

Ah... Mm...

[music stops]

Thank you all for coming all this way to our small paradise.

We have plenty of reasons to celebrate tonight.

Olivia's new... venture...

Maybe you'd like to say a few words, Olivia.

Huh?

Okay. No.

Uh...

As some of you may know by now...

There is someone I would like to introduce to you.

Julien.

Uh...

Julien?

Julien.

Let's call him all together.

[yells] Julien!

Come on.

Julien!

[in French] Ah, here he is.

[women giggle]

[whispering]

[scoffs]

[in Slovenian] So, this is my son.

I am very happy he is here with us

and that my girls welcomed him so warmly!

Right, Olivia?

[pensive music playing]

But I have more reasons to be happy.

Well, I will just be direct.

Uh...

Our family will be chosen

to go to space!

[mumbles]

Here's to our family.

And to Julien.

None of this would be possible without you.

[in French] Cheers!

[man in Slovenian] Maybe there's a doctor here?

I don't need a doctor.

Everybody just relax. I am all right.

[whispering] Olli! Do you even understand?

We are going to space.

It's okay.

[in Slovenian] Agata!

[frantic music playing]

Can you call him, please?

[cell phone ringing nearby]

When will he leave?

You want him to leave? You have a weird way of showing it.

Is this really our biggest problem?

Is it, Olivia?

God knows where he took Agata.

We don't know anything about him.

He could be...

anyone.

I mean...

Maybe he's not even your son.

That would be convenient for you.

Wouldn't it?

[birds fluttering]

[in Slovenian] Where did you come from?

-Hey. -[in Slovenian] Where is your boss?

Let me see your tag.

[dog barking]

[toilet flushing]

-Who are you calling? -The police.

You're out of your mind.

They've only been gone a few hours.

Are we being hunted?

Run!

[in Slovenian] Run!

Hey!

[Agata grunts]

-[sobs] -[in English] Are you okay?

-[Julien] Where are you hurt? -My leg.

Here?

[Julien] Let me see.

[sobbing]

[in Slovenian] Does it look bad?

How bad is it? Tell me.

-[in English] Tell me! -It'll be fine.

It'll be fine.

Do you have your phone with you?

-Let me... -[grunts]

Fuck. Your battery is dead.

Uh...

[in Slovenian] Are there more?

Want this?

I didn't mean cigarettes.

More kids of yours spread around the world.

Not that I know of.

-What was she like? -Who?

-Her. -Julien's mother?

-Mm-hmm. -Not too interesting.

We weren't really together.

I was young. She was young.

Kids were not really on the menu.

Young? You weren't so young.

Maybe immature, yeah. But not young.

As young as Julien is now.

He's young, isn't he? Don't you think he's young?

Maybe too young?

-What the fuck was that at the party? -Yes?

-The makeup and all. -What was all that at the party?

You tell me!

Well...

I mean with Agata.

Hm.

Yes, yes.

You know, in our language Kralj means "king."

So, don't worry. I've got everything under control.

[siren wailing]

[doctor in Slovenian] So, what we did...

Ah.

What we did is...

[nurse] Excuse me.

A special procedure was needed to--

[nurse] Tell me your name.

-Tell me your name. -[Olivia] Sorry.

-You said a complicated procedure? -No, no.

[nurse] Let's try again. Tell me your name.

-[girl] Leave me alone. -[doctor] We just

aligned and fixed the bone.

But it was a serious fracture.

-What's your name? -Ninja!

[man laughing]

[man coughs]

[nurse] Mr. Secen, what did we say?

-[Julien in English] Let me help you. -[nurse in English] Thank you.

[Mr. Secen groaning]

[nurse in Slovenian] Doctor, we are seriously understaffed.

-[doctor] I know, Kristian. -[moaning]

When will she be able to walk again?

Considering her medical history, it could take her longer.

How long?

[doctor] Two to three months.

Hm. Three months?
