All language subtitles for Flood.2025

The dialogue of the film
is primarily in Ruthenian language

with the rest of the film
in [Slovak language].

For generations, the land
under the Carpathians has been torn

by borders shifted by those
who held the power.

Despite being overlooked for centuries,
the Ruthenian community

remains deeply rooted in its own homeland.

Starinska Valley, the easternmost
corner of Czechoslovakia, 1980.

Shit.

Easy.

Honour to work, Comrade Chairman!

Honour…

Tired of the cows already?

Not at all. My wife and I
don't have the time anymore.

Madam?

Leave her alone, you hear me?

And you? Will you sell your cows?
For a decent price. While you can.

How much?

This one you can take. For free.

I'd be happy to go.

They don't want me.

Who would want you like this?

- Kata, copy that already!
- Wait!

I won't. They won't wait for us either.

Write, write!

Seriously, finish already, please.

Kata, let's go.

- Wait, what are you doing?
- Let's go, come on!

Fuck.

[Good morning, dear listeners.]

[First, a time update:
the current time is 6:15.]

Fuck this job.

[Everything alright?]

[You're neither the first nor
the last whose body gave out.]

[No shame in it.]

Can we keep this between us?

[Don't worry.
My lips are sealed.]

Take care, Alex. And take it easy.

Have you thought about
what you're gonna do next?

Plenty of work around the house.

I'd rather take care of my own home
than build socialism here.

While you still have a home.

[Did you do this on your way
to school or what?]

[No, I finished it last night.]

[Yesterday?]

[Kata, the last time I saw you
studying was last week.]

- [Did you even do this yourself?]
- Yes.

[Sit down. I'm giving you a D.]

Dear citizens, I hereby inform you

that on March 25th, Saturday at 2:00 p.m.

a general assembly will be held

at the local national committee in Ruske

because of the dam construction.

I repeat…

You think we're getting flooded?

I don't know any more than you.

[Sit down!]

[Give me your applications
if you have them signed.]

[If you don't have it, you may go.]

[HIGH SCHOOL APPLICATION,
VOCATIONAL SCHOOL SNINA.]

[If anyone needs advice,
I'll be in my office.]

[Remember to submit
all signed applications by Monday.]

Go to your room and play there.

Play there.

What about your application, Mara?

Monday is your last chance.
You have to hand in something.

Your dad still hasn't decided?
Should I speak to him?

No need.

[Jarmila, are you coming?]

- [I don't wanna be late.]
- Coming!

You finish it here
and I'll check it later.

Kata, look after the boys, okay?

- [Come on.]
- I'm going…

You're screwed.

Dear comrades, neighbours.

I called this assembly
to fulfill my reporting duties,

though it gives me no pleasure.

I'll be brief.

The Regional Authority Office
in Humenne has decreed that

due to the construction
of the Starina reservoir

the village of Ruske

has been included in the drinking water
protection area, effective immediately.

That means we'll have
to cease all construction

and renovation works
in our municipal zone.

So we're getting flooded, too?

[Calm down,
it's not the end of the world.]

We're renovating the church.

I hope that we will be
an exception, right?

I'm afraid the order also
applies to the church.

Wait. Are we seriously going
to let it rain on us in church?

Have you seen what's left
from the church in Polana?

Fuck this! Nothing is
sacred to these people.

This is how it starts.

They cut down all the trees
and orchards in Starina.

In the other villages, they
destroyed all they could.

They told them that would be enough.

But was it? You greedy bastards!

Father!

And what the hell does that
'protection area' of yours even mean?

Father, calm down, please.

Calm down, comrades.

I've made stew.

Careful, it's hot.

What was that at the assembly?

Can you imagine how embarrassed I was?

You asked Jarmila to
pressure me into sending you

to that school of yours and
now you´re acting dumb?

Why would I ask someone to talk to you?

- I didn't ask her to do anything!
- Don't lie!

Who else did you talk to?
The whole village?

You're going to Snina and that's that.

Kosice isn't that far.

It's not that far?

How many of our people go to the academy?

How many girls?

What do you want to do at that school?

You´re stupid as shit.

That's not a job for a girl.

I've made it clear, and you will listen.

When you go to the vocational school,

you'll get a job
at the shoe factory for sure.

You'll have a better start in life.

Believe me, girl. One day, you'll
thank me for talking sense into you.

I don't wanna work in the shoe factory.
You want that, not me.

I know you don't want to.

Life's not about what you want,
but how much you can take.

I don't wanna hear about this again.

What if I don't get admitted
to grammar school either?

This one suits you.

Kill the light.

What about your parents?

They go to sleep with the
chickens at half past six.

[Cheers.]

[Any idea what planes you'd like to fly?]

[I'm not gonna stop until
I get my rocket license.]

[Oh, dear.]

[How does it work there in Kosice?]

[The first year is almost
all maths and physics.]

[Then you start dabbling in everything
from instrument panels…]

[…to engine parts.]

[Just going to school won't
make a pilot out of you, though.]

[What are you sitting here for?
Are you 150 years old?]

[Don't worry, your dad's
gonna come around.]

[When he sees how much
you want it, he'll let you apply.]

[What's up? You wanna go home yet?]

[No! Never!]

How come you're not at work?

What? Dad, let me go, what are you doing?

Dad, no, what are you doing?

Dad!

Sober up!

The parish fair is near, and
the church is falling apart.

There's still plenty of
time before the fair.

We'll do what we can. People will help.

- They have to. This is undignified.
- Don't worry.

Father, you give him beer money?

Good going.

My bride, your husband
drinks too. Doesn't he?

And how was the concert?

Did you drink away your pay?

Great, support him, Father.

Why learn something useful
when he can play in pubs?

Dad thinks that Jesus Christ
never went to a pub.

Never? Why? Did he run up a tab?

And these provocateurs are my family?!

At least clean the windows
in church for that money.

Thank God.

Don't wait up.

Dad? Who's going to
do the laundry after this?

Go, don't wait up.
You've got things to do!

Go ahead.

Last chance to hand in your
application forms. Anyone?

So, Ruske will be getting
its first female pilot after all?

Why aren't you at work?

I quit.

I'll tend to the farm from now on.

What did you do again?
We won't have any money.

What are you talking
about? We can hold our own.

Soon you'll start bringing
in some money, too.

I'll be gone all day tomorrow.
I'm going to Kata's. We have to study.

Alright. If you can finish
your day's work.

But you need to do the washing tomorrow.

I'll go and get a glass
of water. You want one?

[Additional results from today's
second league match.]

[Vitkovice Ironworks won against
Dukla Banska Bystrica 1:0.]

[Banska Bystrica's soldiers are
in second place with 22 points.]

[Tatran Presov beat Sparta 1-0.]

[With 20 points, Sparta is ranked third.]

[Vitkovice Ironworks also have 20 points.]

[What about this?]

[That's the side-stick.
To control the plane.]

[And the pedals?]

[For the rudder.
This is radio for communication.]

[Who is this?!]

[A friend.]

[What's she doing in the cockpit?]

[You don't care about the rules?]

[How long have you been coming here?]

[She is into flying,
so we wanted to show her.]

[I'm sorry, it's my fault.
I've never sat in anything like this.]

[Girl, if you want to fly,
you have to earn it.]

[If you help a bit and there's time
tonight, we can talk.]

[Got it?]

[You can start right away.
We need that mowed.]

[I'll deal with you
about that later, boys.]

[Roll call is at half past seven
every Saturday. Don't be late.]

Come.

I'm sorry I'm late.

Never mind.

Just make sure you do the carrots
and turnips tomorrow.

Here, take it.

Not this one. The bucket.

Come.

Look!

- Here it is.
- Did you buy a washing machine?

Yes.

You'll need more time for studying now
that you'll be in high school.

Then after you start making money,
it'll get even busier.

Easy to wash, you understand?
Great. Everything is ready.

We just need to try it out.

Come on, try it out.

Come on, put more inside,
add more clothes.

Keep adding, keep adding,
add one more shirt.

Close it, and it washes. You twist it.

Beautiful.

The priest has one like this too!

Whose arse is he crawling up this time?

When will you come by next?
So I can plan out my work.

[Lord only knows.]

[No one's told me anything yet.]

[I don't know.]

[You'll find out over the village radio.]

See? Not even the broom vendor
wants to come here anymore.

Take it easy on the trees, Alex.

Leave something for the birds to perch on.

Fear not. If the birches die,
it won't be because of him.

He spends all day at home,
but leaves the hard work to me.

And how's school, Mara? Are you learning
anything else apart from jabs and gibes?

- [Jan, grease the gate.]
- [Copy that.]

- [Peter, the patches.]
- [Copy that!]

- [Ondrej, the tractor.]
- [Copy that.]

- [Michal, the winch.]
- [Copy that.]

[Dusan, Marek,
task 9, airlift rehearsal.]

[Copy that.]

[Mara…]

Who knows what Lempel wants?

What could he want? What could he want?

Just to get people's blood pressure up.

His father was in charge

when they were starting the co-op.

They took everything we had.

My father had to pay such high quotas
that he used to cry every evening.

And where did all of our cattle go?

I wouldn't be surprised if he
had used it to breed the cows

he's so eagerly pretending to raise.

I´d chase him out of the
village with a hot poker, if I could.

I said I´d chase him out with a hot poker…

Shit.

Get the fuck out of here.
Do you want to wake her up?

You can't be serious.

To Mrs. Anna.

May she rest in peace.

She was a brave woman.

She lived through the First
and Second World War

I'm just sorry she can't
rest here forever.

What do you mean?

I didn't mean to… well, the
funeral's gonna be in town.

So the Local Authority Office
couldn't get her a burial plot at home?

Well, actually, no. The Regional
Authority forbade us to bury people here.

Great!

- What is great about it?
- It means the village is fucked.

You can't do it like that!

Calm down! Alright, calm down.

Unfortunately, there's no other way.

I've made the necessary arrangements.

I'll officiate the funeral so she's
surrounded by her own people.

So, you're deserting us, too.

No one's deserting anyone, Dad!

Deal the cards.

In the name of the Father and of the Son

and of the Holy Spirit, amen.

- [Hello. Hello.]
- [Hi.]

[Guys, what's up? You my footballers?]

Easy, easy.

[Just a drop for the princesses.]

[You're looking at the new deputy
director of Vihorlat!]

Congratulations, Dad!

Really? Congratulations.

[We've also been assigned
a new flat in Snina!]

[We can move within a couple of weeks.]

We can't do that, Vlado.

I'm teaching until June,
and Kata has to finish her grade.

[Jarka… So you'll commute for a
few weeks until the school ends.]

Commute from Snina? Are you crazy?

[If we don't go now, we'll
have fewer options later.]

But…

[Half of the valley
disappeared from the map.]

[I only want what's
the best for this family.]

- Aren't you nervous?
- Nervous from what?

From the entrance exams.
Do you know everything?

Don't you need to study?

Don't be ridiculous.

Give it to me.

Shit! Wrong direction.

See you later.

- [I'm sorry I'm late.]
- [Name?]

[Maria Hanakova.]

Glory to Jesus Christ.

Glory forever.

Look, if not us, at least
the birds can build here.

Where is everyone?

They're at home, where else?

Won't they mind the
rain falling on their heads?

At least the Lord will
get to hear us better.

Alex, some people have already
given up on the village.

They don't see the point in repairing
something that's gonna get razed anyway.

Who knows how many are
even coming to the parish fair?

I'm coming.

The priest and his friend.
Hell of a procession…

We said we'd get the church ready
for the fair, so that's what we're doing.

If you still give a shit.

I do. How could I listen to all
these idiots complaints otherwise?

[If you didn't screw up
anything else, you'll get in.]

[Probably yes. Wait.]

Well, then?

I don't know. Mom's not gonna be proud.

[Come on, if you want to make it.]

I wanted you to come with me.

There's… You're going to like it.

You know my dad won't let me. Come on.

When hardly anyone is
flying, it's packed in here.

You need to be really
careful when parking a plane.

What is there? The gas and the brake?

This doesn't have an engine, silly.
You use those to control the rudder.

And this is the radio.

Don't touch it!

He's the boss here. If he saw you,
he would kill you.

[May I help you?]

[Wait, wait. First, tell
me how the exams went.]

[You remember that?]

[You're buzzing around
us with that like a bee.]

[Are you also interested in flying?]

[I've only come to have a look around.]

[That's how it starts!]

[This one also came to look around and
then I found her sitting in the cockpit!]

[So, where do I put these?]

[Nowhere.]

[They first need
to be rinsed in kerosene.]

[Marek!]

[Marek seems like he wants to.
He'd be happy to do it.]

[What about me?]

[Come.]

I'm sorry I'm late. I can see the cows
haven't exploded in the meantime.

Do you know what time it is, Mara?

Where have you been?
Did you even go to the entrance exam?

I did.

Where have you been wandering?

I haven't been wandering anywhere!
I was in Snina.

They may believe you. Not me.
Where did you go after that?

Fine, don't tell me.

From now on, it's off to
school and then straight home.

Fine.

What are you doing? You´ll ruin it all.
Don´t throw it like that.

Take this. Take it to the kitchen.

[We will go over the
problems you got wrong.]

[Mara.]

[You got an A, as always.]

[You're going to have to try harder
if you want to stay in grammar school.]

What's this?!

I saw the application
only after it was signed.

- Signed?
- Yes.

Signed, yes?

What is that supposed to mean?

Huh?

You're not going anywhere!

Alex…

Oh, my God…

Mara, wait.

This was supposed to be my own room.

But now? I´m stuck in here
with those two brats.

The cutlery is still in the box.

I've always known you were meant for more.

Seriously?! That's all you're gonna say?

If I did something like that,
you'd skin me alive.

This is different, Kata.

Why is it different?

[I thought you'd deserted us.]

[Let's see.]

[Well, congratulations.]

[My dad doesn't wanna let me go.]

[I devoted everything to getting in.
I proved that I was worthy.]

[But still, he won't let
me go. What should I do?]

[Your father didn't know
you were applying?]

[Then what did you expect?]

[He probably didn't know
that you come here, too?]

[What if we'd had an
accident in the glider?]

Everything I've built for her,
she wants to throw away.

Why did I spend my
life toiling and moiling?

So that she'd leave me
to rot in the house.

That I built for her? All our
blood is in this ground.

And now she wants to desert me, too?

Alex.

You can't quash her desires
with anger and force.

Don't you know that forbidden
fruit is the sweetest?

I can talk to Adam as much
as I like, but regardless

of my efforts, all he
wants to do is his music.

The more I pressure him,
the more he pushes back.

Wait.

Am I the one confessing here, or are you?

You are. Fine.

She gets this stubbornness
from her mother.

Sure.

The worst thing is that she lied to me.

We all lie sometimes. For the greater
good. I do, too.

Oh, God.

[I admit that the news I bring may
strike many of you as catastrophic.]

[You witnessed the disintegration
of the surrounding villages.]

[Their residents had to give up their
homes in favour of the common good.]

[Today, we can proudly say that
their sacrifice has not been in vain.]

[Soon, we will be launching
a provisional pipeline.]

[It will bring water
from the Cirocha stream]

[into the purification plant]

[and then to many homes
in Snina and Humenne.]

[Those people are very
much indebted to you.]

What's the point of all
this sugar-coating?

Just tell it to us straight:
you wanna drive us out!

[Due to the construction works
on the Starina Reservoir,]

[the Municipality of Ruske
has been included]

[in the drinking water protection area.]

[Alas, we've found no way
of counteracting the influence]

[of Ruske on the purity of
the water in the reservoir.]

[By the decision of the Regional
Public Health Authority]

[Ruske will have to be evacuated]

[by 31 October this year at the latest.]

What? We don't even
have cars here! Or factories!

What do you think of us?!

You think we let our cows
shit in the stream?!

What do you think is in
that water you're drinking?

[The public health
supervisor was unequivocal.]

[We're also going to have to exhume
the local cemetery.]

You red devils!

We knew you would drive us to the grave,

but disturbing the dead?

Shame on you!

Pigs!

Calm down, comrades!

It's not the end of the world!

I'm not leaving my land!

When during the war our house was bombed,

my late parents,

those you now want to
dig up from the ground,

rebuilt that house with their
own hands after the war.

And now I'm supposed to trade it
for some rabbit cage in the city?

We've had to deal with plenty
of fuckers like you in our time.

Where are they now?
Buried in woods all over.

We survived those assholes,
and we'll survive you, too.

[Okay. Please, calm down.]

[We'll do everything in our power
to make your resettlement painless.]

[We'll soon start an appraisal
process for your properties.]

[The buyout price will reflect
not only the size of the living area]

[but also the furnishings of your homes.]

[If you have kitchens, bathrooms,
central heating, sewage lines.]

So, you think you'll just slap a price tag
on my farm and that's it?

[You'll receive financial compensation and
a new flat or building plot in the city.]

[I think that's fair!]

What am I going to leave my daughter

when you screw the toilet out
from under my ass?

Leave me out of it!

If I could, I'd tear down
the house myself!

Mara!

What don't you understand?

Not everyone wants to be a peasant,
shovel shit and slave away in the field

only to eventually drop
dead from exhaustion!

Mara, shut up!

There are more interesting things
in the world than rotting in this village.

If you want to rot here, be my guest.

But I refuse to live like this.

And I certainly won't spend my days
making shoes in a stupid factory!

Just because you decided so.

Nor will I come back from work every day
only to find more work at home:

do the laundry,
make food, feed the animals.

And listen to you, right?
And keep my mouth shut.

You may have driven Mom to the grave,
but I won't be next.

Nothing's made me happier in a long time
than hearing what's been said here today.

[You can flood this damn village
even tomorrow!]

Dad, what's wrong?! Dad?

Daddy, please!

Dad!

Help!

Dad, please wake up! Dad!

Daddy! Help!

Can someone help me? Can you?
Please, will you help me? Godmother!

Mara!

[Excuse me.]

[I am the godmother
and this is his daughter.]

[Your father is out of
life-threatening danger.]

[We managed to remove the blood clot,
but he remains in a coma.]

[We need to prepare for
pretty bleak scenarios.]

[Even if your father wakes up,
he'll likely]

[have to learn certain things
from scratch.]

[To walk, to eat, to speak.]

[But you need to bear in mind
that he probably]

[won't be going back to the way he was.]

[But those are all
things we can work with.]

[Thank you.]

[When a patient's in a coma,
hearing a familiar voice can help.]

Dad…

[Fewer movements, sprints,
directness, and shooting accuracy]

[but more imprecision and
fouls and attempts to avoid them.]

[That was the picture
of the Prague derby,]

[which put an end to the sixth round
of the top football league.]

[Yes, human intervention in nature
will change not only the landscape]

[but also the lives of people.]

[The regime and character of the entire
environment will change.]

[According to engineer Pavol Kral,
director of the water treatment plant,]

[this is the first of eight constructions
on this water reservoir.]

Come on, the tallest one,
come to the centre.

You go stand next to him in the centre.

Come on, boys, hurry up, let's go.

Flowers and smile.

- [Can we?]
- [We can, we can.]

Keep smiling.

["We invite you to enrol at the
Air Force Secondary Military School…"]

Dad, Dad! Are you…

[Nurse, nurse!]

Hello, Dad. I have straight As.
Cool, right?

I've brought you the same bouquet I gave
Godmother so she wouldn't be jealous.

Hello, Alex.

We've also brought you
the apples that you like.

This is outrageous.

[Nurse!]

Take me home.

We could put him up, at least for a while.

[He's a cripple - where do you
wanna put him up? In the kitchen?]

It would only be
until they got a new flat.

[We're not that Christian.
We've done everything we can.]

[Sometimes I think it might've been better
if he'd just died a clean death.]

[Immediate.]

[Now he´s just suffering, she´s suffering
and the rest of us, too.]

[Don't forget. You have kids of your own!]

NEW ADDRESS: SNINA

We're home now.

Dad, lie down. Save your strength.

Dacej and his son are repairing the roof.

Jano, my classmate, is
taking his cows to the pasture.

Marta is lighting a fire.

What would you expect? Skyscrapers?

Comfortable?

Here are meals for today and tomorrow.

And then you'll have to
manage on your own.

Here is our grandfather's chair.

It's not the most
pleasant thing in the world.

Alright, thank you for your help.

Listen, if you need
anything, here you have

my number and the key
from Local Authority Office. Alright?

Go on, then.

Damn swindlers, we don't even
have plumbing in the village!

Grandpa! They'll get more money
for their house at least.

Let them have golden ceilings in
those huts of theirs. I don´t care.

But if you want to cheat,
at least make it less obvious.

Holy Mother of Sorrows.

It's easier than building new partitions.

Thanks for the help.

How's your dad? Getting better?

Can we come and visit for a while?

Just a few more.

Leave me!

Bring the wheelchair.

Here are the crutches, they
took the wheelchair from us.

Where would you like to go now?

Okay?

[Hello. We're from the
Regional Authority Office.]

[We've come to appraise your property.]

[This isn't a good time.
My father is asleep.]

[…When could we talk to your father?]

[He's recovering from a stroke,
he's in a seriously bad condition.]

- [Right… we'll come later.]
- [Yes.]

- [Goodbye.]
- [Thanks. Goodbye.]

Dear citizens, we request residents
with house numbers:

140, 141, 142, 143…

144, 145, 146, 147…

…155, 156, 157, 158

to come to the Local
Authority Office due to the

allocation of new apartments
in the town of Snina.

I repeat. We request residents
with house numbers…

Dad, is everything alright?

Dad…

Are you alright?

Where does it hurt?

There?

May I?

Are you all cleaned up?

Uhm.

Wait.

I'd have managed.

Yeah? And what if you´d hit your head?
The dead feel no shame.

If the pain gets worse, I´m calling
Jarmila. Don´t fight me on this.

179 - Mrs. Girova.

- [Yes, yes!]
- [176.]

[Send them. We'll have the
office cleared out within three days.]

[Yes. You too. Honour!]

Can I make a call?

Fecik 177.

- Honour.
- Honour.

Mrs. Kovalcikova.

Mrs. Kocanova.

RESETTLEMENT PLAN

Godmother? It's me.

Yes, everything's fine.

Take your meds when you're finished.
I'm gonna go and clean up outside.

[How's your father?]

[Better than when you last saw him.]

[I know why you're here.
No need to beat around the bush.]

[Mara, I don't want to pressure you.]

[Then don't.]

[Don't make this harder than it has to be.
Your time is running out.]

[Let me talk to your father.]

[He's finally getting better,
started to walk and talk.]

[Do you think this is what he needs?]

[To hear that he won't have
a roof over his head?]

[How long do you think you could act
like kulaks out here without me?]

[You should be thankful we haven´t
sent you to the orphanage,]

[you little brat.
I can easily arrange that.]

[Aren't you ashamed to
come here like a vulture?]

[Thanks for your help. That day…]

[Look…]

[if you don't get your house
appraised soon,]

[they're just gonna expropriate you.]

[I'll convince him. I just
need more time.]

[The time is running out.]

[You've had enough time.]

[You received a letter from the bishop
about your reassignment long time ago.]

How dare you? Don't touch that!

Son!

Son, do something!

[You have to take off the scaffolding,]

[otherwise, you'll be charged
for the removal works.]

[Today we're taking
the equipment to Snina.]

Approach with the fear
of God and with faith.

Alex, in the name of the Father
and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

You got taken home
in an ambulance like royalty,

but they didn't give you a wheelchair.

I'm getting married.

Really?

Congratulations.

She's all the way from Humenne.
They met at a party.

Well, it was about time.

I was starting to get worried
he'd end up in a singles' dorm.

The wedding will take place
in our church, in Ruské.

And it won't rain on our heads anymore.

You've finished it?

I have.

I´m glad you managed
to do it before the fair.

Yeah.

We'll be glad to come
to the wedding. Right, Dad?

If any of you bastards
crosses this doorstep,

I'll shoot another hole in his arse…

- [What's going on?]
- [He's got a gun.]

[You scared him.]

…do you understand?!

Mr. Karol. Are you alright?

Mr. Karol.

What are you doing here, Mara?

[Hey! You don't know
what he's capable of.]

I see you're letting the fresh air in.

They came to rob my house!

No, they just want to
appraise your property.

Yeah? And then drive me out of my home?

Trust me, I've seen them do it before.

You're doing great!

Enough.

No, just a little more.
Then you'll go to bed.

- Enough already!
- Okay, come on.

- [Goodbye.]
- [Bye.]

[WE INVITE YOU TO ENROLL AT THE
AIR FORCE SECONDARY MILITARY SCHOOL…]

I'll do it.

Leave it!

Who was here?

What do you mean, who?

You're making a fool out of me.
Who was here?

It was the priest. But you
were sleeping so he left.

I know you're keeping something
from me. You can't fool me.

Father, you're really starting to get
on my nerves. What are you, five?

I spend all day waiting on you,

I'm tiptoeing around so I don't
wake you up.

I have my plans, too.

I have my own life to live.

Why you don't care about any of that!

Why don't you take that into account?

Tomorrow I'm going to register
at the aviation academy

and I don't care what you think.

Don't come back! I don't need you here!

Go to hell!

Adam! Is anyone home? Adam?

[Hey! Where are you going?]

[I just want to make a phone call.]

- [The place has been cleared out.]
- [How so?]

[The building is going down!]

[But it's really urgent, please.
I really need to get to the city. Please.]

[Don't you have a horse?]

I told you not to come back.

Sit up.

Leave me.

Well, I won't leave you.
Now you'll do what I tell you.

Sit up. Dad! Can you please sit up?!

New address: Snina,
Neighbourhood 'Peace'

Good weather for a walk, isn't it?

[This must be a mistake.]

[This room isn't that big.]

[And we don't have
radiators or a gas stove…]

[It's fine. Leave it as it is.]

[Sign here and here.]

[How much longer can we stay?]

[Until the bulldozer
comes? I don't really care.]

[As for the flat, everything's
taken care of, like we talked about.]

[Wait.]

[Thank you.]

Alexander Hanak from Ruske.

I didn't know your mother kept this here.

She used to go to sleep with this note.

Before I started courting her.

She would always say
that she bewitched me.

People used to do that
kind of thing back then.

What?

Are you shocked?
That your mother loved me?

Who wouldn't be shocked?

I'm expecting you at the wedding.

[See you in Snina.]

Dear newlyweds,

for happiness and health,

for many children, may God bless you!

Dear newlyweds,

dear parents of the newlyweds,

dear guests.

We met…

at the last wedding ceremony
in our village,

where our newlyweds pledged
their vows in our church

and we also meet now at our first
wedding reception here, in Snina.

As it is said that water is life

even though our hearts are heavy,

let's grant to the others
to have joy in life too.

I really liked

how the newlyweds thanked their parents

for love, for sleepless nights, for tears,

but also for the kindness they gave them.

And I wish you lots of happiness,

lots of joy, and above all lots of love.

And may you live only for each other.

To great love and to
many, many descendants,

to the health of the newlyweds.
Musicians, play!

Don't worry about her.
She can bear more than us.

What are we watching?

Sun.

Anything you need,
the number is by the phone.

I'll be home by the evening.

Take care.

- [Copy that!]

[Dusan and Marek…]

[Look at that.]

My home village

My beloved village

How abandoned you have become

The mountains are overgrown

The meadows are overgrown

Nowhere are the hardworking
Hands to be seen

Courtyards and gardens lie buried in grass

A deep sorrow freezes
The blood in your veins

I stand in the middle of the yard
Among the ruins of my home

With no one left to speak to

Everything was lost, gone forever

The water from Starina
Has swallowed it forever

Only the spring still murmurs
Clear and crystal pure

No one can ever take away its source

It flows on beautifully
Washing over the rocks

Bringing health to our block of flats

And though we left with heavy hearts

We believe we helped
To bring healing to many
