Do you remember him? 388 00:46:01,241 --> 00:46:03,401 I was even quite promising... 389 00:46:04,961 --> 00:46:08,761 But in the Warsaw Uprising I was shot in the forearm. 390 00:46:09,761 --> 00:46:14,001 Here I'm a second violin. The boss even likes me. 391 00:46:14,241 --> 00:46:15,761 That's not important, maestro. 392 00:46:15,841 --> 00:46:18,961 My violin is no good. The lower register is fine, 393 00:46:19,041 --> 00:46:21,121 but the upper is flat. 394 00:46:21,201 --> 00:46:24,961 In my opinion we should practise more. 395 00:46:25,761 --> 00:46:29,921 I have no room to do that at home - I'm a single mum, I have no time. 396 00:46:30,041 --> 00:46:34,161 I'm ashamed to admit the only place I can play is bathroom. 397 00:46:37,041 --> 00:46:39,161 Speak up, otherwise TV won't get it. 398 00:46:39,321 --> 00:46:43,641 Some orchestra, isn't it? We do our best. 399 00:46:44,921 --> 00:46:49,481 But the audience... They're some random people. 400 00:46:50,321 --> 00:46:53,601 Teenagers brought here by force... 401 00:46:53,681 --> 00:46:55,761 Tell him your salary is in zlotys. 402 00:46:55,841 --> 00:46:59,001 Bored pensioners... If there's an event, they call us. 403 00:46:59,281 --> 00:47:06,161 We constantly feel we're not needed. Not wanted. And not loved. 404 00:47:07,321 --> 00:47:08,361 It makes no sense. 405 00:47:08,441 --> 00:47:10,121 We're playing for them. 406 00:47:12,401 --> 00:47:16,361 Audience is what it is. All over the world. 407 00:47:18,721 --> 00:47:22,401 You're the ones who form it, not the other way round. 408 00:47:23,121 --> 00:47:26,721 Through your emotion, music and devotion. 409 00:47:27,801 --> 00:47:32,241 Don't rely on their love. Rely on yourselves alone. 410 00:47:32,801 --> 00:47:39,001 On your love of music and theirs. Now let's get back to work. 411 00:53:16,601 --> 00:53:17,881 What's wrong? 412 00:56:16,481 --> 00:56:19,001 I'd like someone to convey that to Adam. 413 00:56:32,041 --> 00:56:36,081 No, Adam doesn't understand that. 414 00:58:10,401 --> 00:58:11,441 Maestro..., 415 00:58:12,841 --> 00:58:14,561 my name is Marta. 416 00:58:15,601 --> 00:58:17,161 Anna was my mother. 417 00:59:58,441 --> 01:00:00,481 What will we do, when you leave? 418 01:00:43,001 --> 01:00:45,801 Time is up. You've been gargling for 15 minutes. 419 01:00:50,521 --> 01:00:51,761 Three minutes. 420 01:00:57,161 --> 01:00:58,201 Eat up. 421 01:01:02,361 --> 01:01:04,801 You don't resemble your mother. 422 01:01:56,161 --> 01:01:58,241 Excuse me, I'm here now. 423 01:02:06,041 --> 01:02:11,081 Let's speak frankly, director. Can you rely on the orchestra? 424 01:02:13,001 --> 01:02:14,161 Of course. 425 01:02:14,401 --> 01:02:16,961 We're doing our best, of course the outcome... 426 01:02:17,041 --> 01:02:19,961 is another matter. I think we'll be just fine. 427 01:02:21,881 --> 01:02:23,881 I know, you've made a success out of it. 428 01:02:23,961 --> 01:02:25,001 That's right. 429 01:02:29,161 --> 01:02:32,521 I'm sure it's a good orchestra, but that's not the point. 430 01:02:33,041 --> 01:02:39,281 We need to look at it in different scale - national, international. 431 01:02:39,361 --> 01:02:42,161 I've already mentioned that to the director. 432 01:02:44,241 --> 01:02:47,321 The orchestra's decent enough but, no offence... 433 01:02:47,761 --> 01:02:49,121 It's so provincial. 434 01:02:49,921 --> 01:02:54,601 We all want it to be a success. An important musical event! 435 01:02:54,681 --> 01:02:58,521 And it's going to be an event. We've been working as never before. 436 01:02:59,241 --> 01:03:02,081 All the musicians, me... We're working very hard. 437 01:03:02,161 --> 01:03:05,921 They're so excited, they've been playing 5 hours and no protests. 438 01:03:08,641 --> 01:03:09,801 That's not enough. 439 01:03:10,641 --> 01:03:11,681 Not enough? 440 01:03:12,481 --> 01:03:16,401 We're all committed. Here and in Warsaw. 441 01:03:16,921 --> 01:03:18,041 Exactly. 442 01:03:18,401 --> 01:03:21,961 We all mean well but that's not enough, you see. 443 01:03:22,281 --> 01:03:26,361 We need deeds. Set things up properly. 444 01:03:26,801 --> 01:03:29,481 I see. What do you have in mind? 445 01:03:32,881 --> 01:03:35,841 Some say the event should take place in Warsaw. 446 01:03:38,281 --> 01:03:39,241 To Warsaw?! 447 01:03:39,481 --> 01:03:43,001 I know it seems radical. But that'd be good for you, too. 448 01:03:43,481 --> 01:03:44,881 Just think about it. 449 01:03:46,121 --> 01:03:49,241 Let's be honest, you're too good for this place. 450 01:03:50,761 --> 01:03:52,361 A man of your talent! 451 01:03:54,201 --> 01:03:55,441 Well, Adam? 452 01:03:58,961 --> 01:04:01,001 No, sir. That's impossible. Absurd! 453 01:04:01,281 --> 01:04:05,041 No, it is possible. Maybe just a bit awkward. 454 01:04:07,001 --> 01:04:09,401 I'm telling you something must be done. 455 01:04:09,801 --> 01:04:12,881 What more can be done? We've been working our humps off. 456 01:04:12,961 --> 01:04:14,321 They really play well. 457 01:04:14,401 --> 01:04:18,681 I can't turn my first violin into Jascha Heifetz overnight. 458 01:04:18,761 --> 01:04:20,801 Even maestro can't do that. 459 01:04:21,161 --> 01:04:23,921 Now you're starting to catch my drift. 460 01:04:25,121 --> 01:04:28,801 A little rearrangement will make us all feel safer. 461 01:04:29,681 --> 01:04:31,041 More confident. 462 01:04:32,361 --> 01:04:36,281 And you lack that confidence now. And you do lack it. 463 01:04:40,361 --> 01:04:41,681 Briefly speaking, 464 01:04:41,761 --> 01:04:45,441 I'm sending you some instrumentalists from the Warsaw Philharmonic. 465 01:04:45,481 --> 01:04:49,881 - Tudzicki, Grabka, W�jcik. - That'd be great! 466 01:04:49,961 --> 01:04:53,201 Are those people you could do some great work with or what? 467 01:04:53,681 --> 01:04:55,441 No, that's impossible. 468 01:04:55,761 --> 01:04:58,441 Why? It's already settled. 469 01:04:59,321 --> 01:05:03,081 It's a slap in the face for our musicians, don't you get it?! 470 01:05:03,321 --> 01:05:05,921 - Don't exaggerate. - I understand that. 471 01:05:07,201 --> 01:05:10,401 You're very emotional about that and that's not necessary. 472 01:05:10,481 --> 01:05:11,721 Let's be reasonable. 473 01:05:12,601 --> 01:05:16,761 Why a slap? In Warsaw we consider it to be help. 474 01:05:18,001 --> 01:05:21,241 A friendly act of help. We all care about it. 475 01:05:21,521 --> 01:05:25,361 The Department of Culture has already suggested that to the director... 476 01:05:29,321 --> 01:05:32,401 It's out of the question. Maestro won't agree. 477 01:05:32,641 --> 01:05:35,561 Now you're not making any sense. 478 01:05:35,961 --> 01:05:38,921 You think he'd rather perform with a weak orchestra? 479 01:05:39,161 --> 01:05:41,321 He prefers playing worse, does he? 480 01:05:42,281 --> 01:05:44,521 He knows them now, he's worked with them. 481 01:05:45,401 --> 01:05:48,721 I can't even understand myself, what's happening here. 482 01:05:49,561 --> 01:05:51,481 My dear director, 483 01:05:51,721 --> 01:05:54,201 he won't even notice it's different people. 484 01:05:54,881 --> 01:06:00,881 He'll just hear great music and think it's his magic baton. 485 01:06:00,961 --> 01:06:04,121 And that's fine with us! What do you say? 486 01:06:22,881 --> 01:06:25,961 Hello.
