Original subtitles

Hey.

I'd like for you to star in my newest film.

Actually... I want the movie to be about you.

It's too late.

There's some kind of mistake.

The mistake is in me and I don't understand it.

Exactly.

I'll show you something, alright? - Go ahead.

This was our last collaboration.

8 years ago.

What happened to you since then?

Do you realise how much you've changed?

You've changed as well.

Don't try to tell me your life is perfectly normal,

that you don't fight everything that surrounds us.

Don't try to tell that you've learned to accept defeat.

Of course not. That's why I want to make this movie.

No.

Listen.

We need it.

The both of us.

You're the actress. I can hide behind a camera,

I can prove my knowledge and experience, my truth.

Let's start in the same spot we parted.

Our last movie.

Maybe we could...

find the mistake.

AN IMMORAL STORY

Maybe here. Look.

We have to cut it, I can't repeat the movie

from the very beginning.

In a moment there's a good moment for such a cut.

Keep going...

Here.

If we don't show more, the audience won't realise

that it's supposed to be a "scream". You want them to understand.

You're right, leave it in. Add the sound.

Wait! You forgot the pictures from festivals.

This turned out well. Do you want these?

Of course.

She looks good in them.

We have to give her a chance before the following scenes.

Where did that thoughtfullness come from?

You cut so many of her "pretty" scenes.

You must admit, I'm doing my best to be impartial.

Do you have the applause?

Thank you, goodbye.

Thank you for saving this spot.

You weren't in the queue before! - I was with this man, isn't that right?

Get that TV, quick!

Careful!

Put it down over here. Carefully.

Let's go, quick.

Excuse me! - Watch where you're going!

Can't you see I have a cart? - Be careful!

Excuse me, I'm in a big hurry!

I have a meeting at 11.00 at the TV station.

An entire orchestra is waiting for me!

Would you be so kind.

Let him through, too, he's helping me.

Yes.

I'm sorry, but I can't let you in with this lugagge.

Why is that?

We've gotten word that you haven't payed the customs.

I know. - 700 dollars.

I don't know how you got in here.

Radio, tape recorder... - Here, a letter from a festival

in Japan. Here you go. They'll pay for everything.

It's in Japanese. - Of course,

what other language do the Japanese speak?

It needs to be in Polish, lady. - What am I supposed to do?

I don't have any information regarding that at the moment.

You didn't pay the customs, so the lugagge stays here.

No way, I'm staying right here.

I'm not going anywhere without my lugagge.

You'll leave your documents here. Unbelievable.

Like I care. - Security!

Help me with this woman. - You can call anyone you want.

I'm not going anywhere without my lugagge.

But I...

You have to wait. My lugagge! I'm having some issues.

Cheers, everyone.

You have me in your arms, what...

You have me in your arms,

what else do you want, outside of my life?

Put it on me, sweety, I'm cold.

Nothing, it's fine. - So what...

Don't sit here all grumpy. I'll be done soon.

What are you waiting for? Your words fill me with disgust.

They always will, as I always will stay hateful towards you.

How could I achieve a greater fame

than that from...

Wait. "the burial of my brother".

No, ladies and gentlemen.

I'm sorry for interrupting yet again.

I don't know about you, but I find this really unfair,

that we're forced to take part in this without even signing anything.

Especially since the director is absent again.

Isn't that right?

The director asked for you to read through this without him,

the contracts are on their way here. Please, continue.

You're the only one in Thebes who thinks...

The contracts are here! Great! - It's all written there.

Not now. - Why is that?

Calm down. - Easy, darling.

I want to see my contract.

Where is mine?

Is this a joke? I'm doing this for 50 thousand?

That's not what we agreed on.

50 thousand for the main role? - Excuse me,

this isn't the main part. - I'm going to lose my mind.

I guess I didn't read the play. Did you hear that?

Antigone is not the main character.

The main character of Antigone is Creon.

Antigone is the titular role, but as you yourself know very well,

that the highest pay always depends on the theatrical salary.

What are we even talking about?

Maybe I don't want to play in theatre.

All that counts are movies and prizes. Making a name for yourself.

Who's deciding all this? - Miss Ewa, please, don't...

Let me finish.

Settle this with someone.

Talk about it, and afterwards let me know.

Excuse me,

call me, when you've decided.

Marek, honey, let's go. - I'm truly sorry.

Goodbye.

Ewa!

I'm begging you, don't start anything!

This is my first bigger role.

This is for your own good. Bye.

Is Magda there with you? I wanted to tell her about the prize.

She knows? Great, listen. Did we get those recomendations?

When do we start?

You don't know? Who will, then? Alright, I'll call you later. Bye.

Ewa...

Oh God, what happened here? What is this mess?

Listen... - It's so dirty!

Why does it look like that? Why didn't you clean up?

I asked you to paint the kitchen!

You didn't even clean. The fridge is empty, come on...

I guess you didn't have time.

Of course, you had the time for ladies and dancing.

But not a second to spare for what I asked you to do.

Why didn't you shave?

Jesus, my head...

Call my father in Gdansk,

I can't reach him, can you at least do that?

Your father is dead. - What?

He died from a heart attack yesterday.

What are you saying?

Stop.

Go back to the one we cut,

the one where she's shouting and cursing.

You said we can't show her like that.

I was wrong.

There's something in that frame,

it shows how a person can act when facing death.

What are you saying, Marek?

I didn't want to tell you at the airport, but...

That's why there was no car.

His wife and son came and took it.

No!

Son of a bitch!

I already told you this.

We took the car because it needed to be here before the funeral.

You weren't here.

And it was signed in your father's name.

My mother gets his things,

so it will stay here until the hearing.

We won't be deciding this on our own.

Wait a minute, Krzyś, auntie knows, that father gave his car to Ewa!

It's just a formality!

I don't know enough about this.

Mister Wilko here is our legal advisor.

Everything is legal.

When there's no will involved,

everything is decided based on the joint property of spouses.

So you, as the wife of your father,

get 50% and 1/4 of the remaining property.

But auntie was our father's wife for only 2 years,

I'm sure he didn't know...

You think your father was an idiot! - Now wait a minute!

Hello?

What happened? You were supposed to be there yesterday.

I get it, you couldn't make it.

What about Antigone?

What do you mean, they resigned?

Completely?

Okay.

No, that's great.

I wouldn't be able to make it to the rehearsals at the TV

and Magda's movie.

Yes.

You should be here instead of calling.

Bye.

She has the proper authorisation.

Ewa, come back here, please.

You have to calm him down! - I don't have to do anything.

I'm done talking about money with you.

Leave me alone.

My mother has authorisation!

Leave me alone.

Ewa!

Call the police!

The machine doesn't work. What is it?

I need gas, immediately, but I have no money or papers.

Would you do it for me?

Miss Ewa... do you think this is still a movie?

Fill her car up, I'll fill her glass up.

Thank you. Do you have a cigarette?

Will you take me to Warsaw with you?

Maybe? - Here.

I left the keys in the car.

If I lived and worked someplace else...

I would have...

Russia, for example...

I would have played 4 main parts

and I would be called „national artist”.

I would have everything.

But the porsche is not bad.

It was my father's.

He worked in Africa for 14 years.

He wanted to gift it to me. - He didn't?

He died before he could.

Now it's the only thing I have left to remind me of him.

I won't give it away to anybody!

If only I had a wife just like you...

I would give it to you.

What kind of a wife do you have?

I don't, actually.

I thought at this age everyone is already married.

Go on a date with me, would you?

Why would I?

I know you. You don't remember me,

but we met on a banquet in Wilga.

But you were there with some actor...

What was his name?

My husband.

You have a husband? - I did.

I used to have one.

Any children?

You must be crazy.

An artist, in this country, having children!

That's tough.

It's tough to live life.

Honey, darling...

Wait a moment, I'll be right back.

Ewa!

Ewa, you're drunk!

Dad.

Stop. We have to throw that coat out.

But if we cut the head lift, it will look as if she fell asleep

because she's drunk, when actually...

That's the point.

She fell asleep healthily after her father's funeral.

What's that? - Snoring.

You know that I hate those kinds of dramatic scenes.

What are you taking?

I slept for only 3 hours today, I have a killer headache.

Maybe we should take a break. - No.

Let's keep working, it won't get any better tomorrow.

I have to get this done.

Who's here in the studio? A studious woman!

Hey. - Hey.

Ewa, my favourite actress. I filmed 8 movies with her.

Not 8, 4. You always exaggerate.

Why haven't I managed to seduce you yet?

Well, why is that? - What about Helenka?

What are you doing? Aren't we recording inside today?

Magda changed plans, we're going to be filming in a studio.

Alright, where is she? I can't find her.

No one picked up when I called,

and of course your assistents don't know anything.

Can we talk, Wojtuś?

I'll drop by later.

Tell me...

Is she feeling down again?

What? No! What do you mean?

She's doing great, looks great, works great!

That's good. We have a chance to make some good movies.

Wait a second. She offered you that?

What a stupid question. A while ago!

She showed me the script, we talked...

Magda went to Krakow to find a young actress...

And here I am, quitting "Antigone" for her!

Well, it is what it is. Bye, darling.

See you some other time.

I'm already late to my interview.

Hey! Look where you're going!

Calm down! - You calm down!

Are you sure this is all of the money?

Oh, come on!

Let's just stop making movies altogether then!

Hello. - Hello.

There should be an annex there, I signed...

Grzegorz!

You're back, darling? - Yes.

What are you doing? - I'm picking up my money.

And besides that?

I'm writing a scenario.

Hello.

I'm writing a scenario with you in mind.

Hello. - Hello.

I'm a little scared of you though, you know?

Call me in the evening, I'll read you an excerpt.

What is it? The main role?

It's a very important role, two days of shooting.

I see, a very main part.

See you. - Bye.

Call me. Excuse me!

It's good like this.

When we lie like this together I forget about everything.

Too bad we can't have kids.

Are you insane?

I'd like a girl and two boys.

I wonder who would be the one supporting them?

I can barely make enough money for me and you.

I'll get on the team eventually.

You've been saying that for a year.

Your girl and two boys would starve to death.

You exaggerate.

Give me more time.

Marek.

Why do you think Magda...

I think that...

after so many years and so many movies you should know her better.

Tell me, do you really think

that she should be the one accepting the award?

You, too?

Not everyone can be rich and happy,

and I guess she was born just to be fucking unhappy.

And it was me who they invited to the festival. Me!

And you know it, too! Me!

Come on.

Didn't you help them make that decision?

Get dressed. - What?

Get dressed. Get your stuff and get out of here.

Come on, it's 3 a.m. Where will I go?

You'll call a cab.

And you'll go to one of your friend's house. Now.

Oh, Jesus.

The money for the cab is in my bag.

Listen...

I need a bit of help.

I need around 100 thousand.

Daddy won't believe how big you've grown!

Really? - Yes!

He'll kiss you and hug you, and will never let you go, you know?

Really? - He'll never stop loving you!

Will you tell daddy to live with me?

He'll love you because you're a good smart girl,

You never cry. You're not afraid of anything.

He'll love you, because...

you know that a person has to be very strong for others to love them.

Really?

Of course. If love even exists at all.

Stop. Pause it.

Cut these. They're terrible.

What even is this?

It shows the strength of her character?

You shot these.

Thank God we always watch them again in here.

"We're gonna pretend we're a train!"

"You will lead us here and there!"

One. - Well then give me one note,

not five!

Here! What's that note?

Here! "And she doesn't even know where!"

"She's just repeating: "choo-choo-choo"!"

"We follow her, falling over, When we turn we almost fall,

We look at the train destruction, We're shouting "choo-choo", losing..."

Jesus.

What's wrong? - It's not working.

Do you really have to sing?

You're an actress. Your talents lie in drama.

You should star in movies or in plays.

But I want to sing.

Let's play some table tennis instead.

I already explained this to you. I'm done with theatre for the moment,

I'm over doing movies!

Now I want to sing now, and I know I can do it!

Didn't I receive an award in Wrocław?

But what is in Wrocław? - Well?

Wrocław houses the festival of actor song.

Exactly! - You have to actually have a voice.

Alright. Maybe I don't have a voice, but I have something else instead!

It's not all about hitting the right notes,

it's all about having something to say.

I go out there, I have something to say!

And to have that something to say,

you have to have good lyrics, good composing,

people who arrange things, a whole bunch of people, not just one song.

You'll get rich.

You'll get rich because of me, you'll see.

Agnieszka? Hey, it's Ewa.

No, I'm working. I have business with you.

I want to record a song.

No, you know what?

I want to record an album.

Do you have any lyrics for me? Some good ones, strong lyrics.

No. Listen, I'll call you tomorrow.

Bye, talk to you later.

Should I keep calling?

Stop by soon, alright? - Okay.

Oh, Yotvingian princes! What is left of you?

These two bronze buckles don't seem enough.

And this broken pot makes for a poor witness.

And what of your bravery? What of your pride?

Your king lost a wooden crown in a thicket...

Oh, Lusia.

I brought you some leftovers, you probably haven't eaten.

I can't, darling. I just received a very important phonecall.

I have to leave! But I'll eat later!

Would you drop by tomorrow? We could talk.

I promise! - Bye!

Magda!

Magda!

Wait for me! Wait up!

Hey there, handsome. - Hi!

Have you seen Marek? - No, I think he left town.

What's been happening? You're nowhere to be found.

It's a long story.

Excuse me!

Do you have a cigarette? Hi.

Hello.

Sit down, please.

Bring us 2 whiskeys. - Coming right up.

I'm sorry, miss Ewa, but I'm kind of broke.

Make them double!

I put all my savings into a new business...

Make sure to let me know when you'll get them out.

I'm still in your debt anyhow. Cheers!

What are you doing right now?

Different things...

I just sold my shop, I'm hoping to get a better business going.

What business, exactly?

I'm planning to invest into...

I see, nevermind. Good luck then!

Ewa!

Baby!

Where have you been? - Dealing with problems.

I heard you were trying to steal my spot.

Are you joking? - Can we join you?

Oh, excuse me. This is...

My name is Marek.

Oh, Jesus.

What are you doing! - I'm sorry.

Are you insane?

Hey, sleepy-head!

You're still sleeping, I already went to the store,

and I ran 4 kilometers. - Congratulations.

I'm not an athlete.

Who are you, anyhow?

Where am I, anyhow?

Heaven.

I'm going to make us something to eat.

There's not much, the stores are empty, but we can deal with it.

We have milk, bread and cheese.

Would you like coffee or tea? - Tea!

We don't have tea.

I'll make the breakfast quickly and we'll go to the TV station.

Damn it, no warm water again.

Don't do anything, then. - I'm going to lose my mind here!

No water, lifts are out of order,

everything's broken. I'm going to go crazy.

Honey, I can't stay. I have business to take care of.

What kind of business? Are you crazy? Call them, cancel it.

Listen here, you idiot.

Do you even realise what happened here?

I slept with a star. - Exactly.

Is there anything more important? - No.

But I have to go.

If you have to go, then go.

Marek?

When will you be back?

At eight.

Here, this woman went to Heaven and back.

Here she repeated someone's movements like a mirror,

And someone else's world...

Are you alone?

Let me come in for a second.

I can't anymore. I can't take the constant fights.

Lusia, listen, I have to finish something up.

I'll come by in a moment, I'll fix it just like always.

Come, Ewa, please. - Yes, yes, I'll come.

I can't take it anymore,

When the city swallows me whole,

At first it will be very bad

Was I ever here at all?

Yes...

Hey, baby. I've been driving to you for 4 hours.

4 hours, I couldn't drive any faster. - A bus broke down on the bridge.

Everyday a bus breaks down on the bridge,

and everyday you drive for precisely 4 hours

and everyday "couldn't drive any faster". I'm fed up with this.

And like everyday, you're drunk, darling,

And me...

I'm here with you everyday.

And I'm not fed up with this! - Marek!

You're insane! - I opened a new business!

Honey, let go of me! - I'm going to be rich!

How long do I have to wait?

And you are...

the wife...?

Yes. He has a child, too.

I would be eternally grateful if you'd send him back home tomorrow.

Do you see what you've done?

You've destroyed a 15 year old marriage.

You bastard!

Look at me!

What is this? - Nothing.

What are they, homeless, driving around like that?

We'll be late.

What happened? I've been waiting for you for 2 hours.

Nothing.

I needed to kick someone out again.

Because I'm currently turning, my dear.

But I'll make it. - It kind of looks like you won't.

I'll make it. I always do.

This is a concert, not just a meet-up.

They can wait. - What do you mean by that?!

People are paying money to see you,

I'm not about to make up excuses for you.

For me?! You don't do anything for me.

Everything you do is for you, and only you!

What's that burning smell?

The breaks are broken. - Stop!

Stop!

Get out!

Get out of my car! Take your stupid russian suitcase!

I'm sorry.

You know I can't make it without you.

I'm sorry, I had a terrible day.

Damn, what an audience. They're all children.

Better than the army.

Miss Ewa, it's your turn. Go on the stage.

The man in charge...

I need to talk to you.

There seems to be a misunderstanding regarding my pay.

We'll talk later. Go on the stage now!

The audience is waiting. You know I have a set price.

I'm not interested in your "set price".

You're not on the list.

I have made a name for myself,

and that's why you sold so many tickets and so many people showed up.

That's why you have to give me the highest pay.

Me and my pianist. - Alright.

Ewa!

Everyone's waiting, come on. You can't do that.

I'm coming.

I'm coming, my ginger maestro.

Kick it for good luck. Not so hard!

I don't know how you can stand her.

Wasn't she the one who took your part?

If I got mad at things like that I wouldn't have any friends left.

I don't know. I still think we should cut it.

The insinuations that she took that girl's role, it's so gossipy.

Isn't it the truth, though? - She doesn't even know you filmed this.

My dear, an actor is in a director's hands, and they can't complain about it.

But it seems to me you had a deal this time around.

No deals were made.

I'm responsible for everything, only me!

For her, for you, and...

What's happening to you?

I told you. I slept for 3 hours and I have a headache.

The pills again. - Please, let's just continue, alright?

Alright.

We have fun all day, everyday

We play around with pain,

You're looking at us, Madame,

Making sure we know the line

Our kindergarten isn't bad

But only when you're nice

If you're a bad kid, you'll get beat

On your kiddy behind

They shout: "Look!"

Look, you bastard, where you are,

Or they will hit you on your hand

In the corner you will cry!

If you would do this one more time...

I wanted to let him in, but...

If you would let back in again...

If you'd let me in again...

I'll never leave you again. I'll be only with you.

We can start anew.

Marek! - Ewa, darling...

We can start again!

Marek!

My darling!

Mister, have you seen Stefan?

Has anything changed in his life?

He sent me 7 roses one time, and thought that maybe...

He still loves me, the idiot, the ex-husband.

Yes, mister, we lost, even though I can beg,

God is mad at me.

I drink and I forgive!

Let Him be my judge,

the little cold God made of glass,

my God!

How was it? - Amazing.

Are you going to dinner after this?

No, of course not, we're busy.

Besides that, we have important business tomorrow.

So what? - We'll get in touch.

Wait, tell me something.

Lyrical. - That's good, right?

It's supposed to be, isn't it?

Think about it. You, lyrical?

No, of course not, I'm supposed to be agressive, over-the-top, strong, right?

I'm over it.

I wanted to change her image.

Exactly. What do you have to say about the homeless dog?

The homeless dog, the most lyrical.

Marek, wait for me in the car.

Alright, but hurry up.

Is it really bad?

You lost your goddamn mind. There's nothing!

Alright, stop!

Thanks, you got it?

We got it, thanks, that was very good, Ewa.

No, Grześ, I can play it better.

Goddamn it, Ewa, I don't have that much tape.

This is a sixth take!

I'll pay for the seventh, then. This scene is crucial.

Let's go again, everyone!

Don't record this.

Make-up!

Always too slow.

Hold this!

That's enough.

Camera! - „The Moonway 257!”

Stop!

Alright, that's good!

Let's get the next take ready.

Where's the tea, darling?

Mister Kazimierzu, where's the tea?

The tea, please!

What happened?

Nothing.

Oh, God. I can't play these monsters anymore.

I feel ill from that, I think.

Pushed into the ground like a penny.

And that's where the lighting comes from.

In Poland no one knows about this, but that's our chance.

That's something for you.

Listen, Jerzy, I think I'll finish this up tomorrow.

I need to lie down.

It has to be ready by tomorrow, let's get it done now.

Then it's just finished.

I need to get at least 2 hours of sleep.

I've done that already. And now I couldn't anymore.

Anyway, it was 10 years ago, I look completely different today.

Can I still be lyrical?

You are. You're kind, warm, good.

At least for me.

If you want.

We have to do something about that dog.

Where is it?

The chorus is bad. It can't be like that.

„Pet me with your hand, I don't want to be sad”.

We have to figure something out.

You wanted it to be simple and lyrical.

I never said "simple"!

And it's definitely not lyrical.

„Pet me with your hand, I don't want to be sad”.

This is, I don't know... - I already told you,

I can't write songs!

Of course you can, honey, I'm telling you.

You just need to... - Just need to what?

I'm tasteless! I'm a simpleton!

I'll never be on your level!

Calm down! - I'm uneducated.

Calm down, what are you doing? - Whatever, goddamn it.

I'm done with this. - Stop!

I'm sorry.

Ewa, what's happening?

Just as you guessed. 2 months.

You think everything is alright?

We need to run a few more tests.

Congratulations, miss Ewa. It took a while, but it finally happened.

What took a while...?

What, aren't you excited?

No, not really.

You'll make for a great mother.

Your child will never go hungry nor unloved.

Thank you.

Please come back to see me in a week.

Alright. See you then.

Hi, baby.

How long am I supposed to wait for you?

Good evening, missus.

Listen, I'll drop by tomorrow, then we'll talk.

Tomorrow you'll be spending a nice family evening with the lady.

I'm waiting in the car.

Wait, I have to talk to you.

Actually...

I wanted to tell you yesterday.

I couldn't say it then, though...

I guess I'm a coward.

I can't be with you. I'm not strong enough.

I'm scared of you.

I can't let you support me.

I can't write songs for you, repair your car.

Use your friends' privileges, when I know they despise me.

They despise me, you hear?

I'm pregnant.

Marek.

Marek!

Marek!

Marek!

I want to cry, I want to bite,

I want it all to turn to ash,

You cower and you run away,

You wait for someone's call

Maybe once, just this one time, They'd call you by your name

And all these wild dogs Would finally go away

Forgotten like a homeless dog,

A homeless dogs, that looks for love from every stranger

A homeless dog, a homeless dog,

A homeless dog

I can't even get a signal.

Where the hell are we? - This is no „Wiktoria”.

I know. - Listen, is...

Wait, wait...

You were so good tonight. Honestly.

You've been really warm and lyrical.

That's what happens when you get an abortion.

A small, warm, fluffy woman.

Just like thousands of others.

All of you want one.

What are you doing? - I like this man very much.

Here. - I'm begging you, Ewa.

Calm down.

I like this gentleman, too.

Here you go. - Thank you.

Won't you cheer for the sponsor of this little party?

To the stars!

As thanks, I'll dance with you!

Let's go back to my place.

Maybe let's go to mine.

Great.

Wait.

My place is in Warsaw, you'd have to drive me there.

That's around 250 km. - So what?

I have to get home. You have the keys, drop me off.

Come on, drive me home.

Alright, let's go.

Jesus, why are we driving so slow?

This makes no sense. Let's go back.

You promised to take me home.

Overtake this guy.

Jesus, no!

Give me that. I have cigarettes in it.

Wait.

Massage my fingers, please.

Your friend with a car wants to visit you.

Oh, no way.

When everyone leaves, you'll give her the text.

Why are you holding her hand so high up, can't you let go?

Stop it, I can't stop laughing.

Then don't!

The doctor is coming. - You guys have to leave.

Hang in there. - We'll be back.

Kiss me goodbye? - See you.

Please, come back tomorrow.

Bye. - See you.

I already told you you can't smoke here.

Besides that, this isn't visiting hours.

But I have special treatment.

All the other ladies here get to walk.

And besides that, all the ladies here agree with me,

and if it bothers you, you should have placed me in an isolation ward.

This is better for you, and I don't even have a spot there.

Please, nurse, take these away.

Can you check this spot?

What spot?

Here. - What?

My ears.

What, did it rip them off or something?

They stick out. - Oh, do they, now.

I was thinking, since I'm already in a hospital,

maybe we could sew them closer to my head.

Oh, right, of course.

Are you feeling alright? - Yes, sir.

What is this? - One of the men brought this here.

First off...

I want to change everything!

Secondly I want half of the tax money for myself.

I'm changing the tax.

10 a head from each property. - That's crazy, Bubu!

This makes zero sense! Zero sense at all!

You must have lost your mind, you old hag.

Careful. - What is this?

It's nothing. Practice this at home,

not on the stage. This is theatre.

We know. Can't you see she's wearing a corset?

That doesn't matter.

These are all technicalities, we'll figure it out.

I'm thinking Bubica doesn't have to be so aggressive.

She's more subtly influencing him.

I'm not so sure she would...

But I am sure!

We're setting a vision of the play...

You didn't let me finish. - And I'll drive that vision home.

Let me say it! - I'll keep that vision going!

I read this play not just once, not twice, but a hundred times.

Calm down, can't you listen to me?

I'm sure of what I'm saying, I'm the director here!

But I want to say something! - I'm asking you to replay this!

Play it more aggressive! - Let me at least get a word in...

No!

Can I say what I think? - I'm directing this play!

But I star in it! - Exactly! You only play in it!

Piotr, give us your opinion, this is unbearable!

I'm going to have to ask everyone who isn't involved to leave.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Piotr, we'll meet back home, okay?

Well? Let's go. Play it harsh and aggressively.

Be dynamic! Come on!

We play it harsh...

We dress modestly...

I'm going to lose my mind.

Oh Jesus, but I'm...

Alright, I'll keep playing how I want.

Throw me harder this time.

That's crazy, Bubu!

This makes zero sense! Zero sense, at all!

You must have lost your mind, you old hag.

In october I was still just a baby

Stop with the singing, it's going to go cold!

In August he took his suitcase, And it came out all wrong

Careful! - Alright, thanks.

That's a nice song.

I'm going to sing it.

Could you stop singing for now? You have bigger things on your plate.

You think that, too? That I shouldn't be singing at all?

Did I say that? I didn't say anything like that.

Damn! - What?

Take this damn thing off. - Alright.

Take it off! - Alright.

In a couple of days I can take it off for good.

Feels good.

So good.

Can I go, now?

I don't think you need me anymore. You're feeling all better.

Did you find a place to live? - No.

The president promised me a spot though.

I guess until then I can live with some friends.

What friends?

Our friends.

But I have a free room.

This isn't a problem for me. - I know.

Piotr. - What?

Piotr...

I need you.

I need you very, very much.

No.

Why not? Are you taken?

No, I just don't have time.

And besides that I want to stay here longer.

Maybe you're right.

I guess I need a physician more.

His Majesty Bubu!

Stop with the hand, Grześ!

His Majesty, if I go to jail,

who's going to sew the holes on your butt?

If I were king, I would tell them to make me a huge helmet!

Just like the one I had in Aragonia!

Oh, yes! You could have...

Go away!

Shush. - Jesus.

You could find an umbrella and a huge cape,

hanging around your ankles...

Give a bit more... - Stop bothering me, let me play.

A shitty shit giving in to temptation.

Yes!

Wider, go wider. - I'm about to murder a man.

If I see him in a dark forest, it's all over for him!

Yes, good!

I'm stopping here, Karol, you keep doing what you were doing.

No, come on!

Well, I'm trying to finish something here!

Alright, let's keep going.

Alright, Bubu, now you're speaking like a man!

Head higher!

No, this is unbearable.

I'm done with you. You're crazy!

I'm done with you guys, play it yourself.

Stop.

What's up?

Are we cutting it?

Here, take this. A bloody, bitten hand.

I filmed this a while ago.

Are you telling me she actually bit him?

That's what I wanted. - What, she's a vampire now?

Come on, a hand like that...

Magda!

It's an idea!

A terrible one. - Without this hand it looks

like she's in the right, not Grzegorz. Paste it in.

This? - Yes!

Stop acting like an old lady.

I don't know what's wrong with you today.

This can't be just the headache. - Maybe it isn't.

You're acting crazy again.

Maybe it's not just the headache.

Keep going.

Alright, Bubu, now you're speaking like a man!

Keep your head up!

I'm done with you.

You're crazy!

I'm done with you guys,

play it yourself! Excuse me.

Head higher!

I'm going to lose my mind.

What do you mean, can't book the theatre?

Did you talk to the owner?

He's an idiot!

I'm about to go full legal on his ass.

Yeah, bye.

Hi, what's with the posters?

What do you mean they're not ready?

Then get the paper from Germany!

Make it a double chalked offset on both sides.

Black and yellow. No! It won't be okay! Black and yellow!

Tell Zbyszek that we need the stamps for tomorrow.

Tomorrow!

Stamps, posters...

Piotr? - Yes! I met Magda,

she asked for you to call her.

Can I talk to director Malinowski? Did you buy some food?

The fridge is empty.

I had practice, why didn't you go to a store yourself?

Of course, because I'm not busy at all!

I'm sorry, are you living here with me or not?

I thought you could do this one thing.

Piotr, come on. Alright, come on, sit down.

Let's drink some champagne.

What happened?

I'm going to have my own company.

„Artistic Bureau Era”.

Do you know what this means? I'm gambling all of my money

but I can finally make money off of myself.

I can charge a million for one concert. Cheers!

What do you need a million for? - What for? I can buy a horse!

And I'll buy a really cute small one for you.

But do you know what this actually means?

I can finally do whatever I want.

Everything just for me! I'm the first! Do you get it?

I'm the first, again.

It's too bad...

that you can't be my husband.

We'd be very rich.

We would have a lot of children running around everywhere.

It's really too bad.

Maybe so.

And God let me believe again!

My lucky star!

Come in. - How does it look?

I don't really know much about this.

You're just supposed to tell me how I look.

What else are you here for? - I'm sorry, I'm exhausted.

I'm really stressed about the premiere tomorrow.

Are you coming? - You know I can't.

I have practice, the last meeting before our concert.

Ewa...

Maybe you should talk to someone in the movie industry, or from the TV,

You can't just live off singing, I sing too,

but I'm an actor first and foremost, and so are you.

But singing pays better right now, honey.

And with the money I made singing I can buy my own theatre.

Or make enough money to make a movie.

I'm not asking anyone for help anymore.

Why aren't you calling Magda?

She reached out to you first.

She's just waiting for it. She's in trouble, I know it.

So the dress is bad, huh?

And God let me believe again!

My lucky star!

I'm not very good at this sort of thing, but I bought you a gift.

Maybe you could wear it to the concert?

It's pretty.

I'm never calling her again.

What happened?

Miss Ewa is very mad, she asked me to get all of this

out of her room.

I'm so sorry I'm late. These are for you.

Thanks.

Why are you wearing that dress? - Because!

Alright.

Why are you being weird about it?

I'll wear the one you got me next time.

Alright. I have to get a drink. I didn't go downstairs.

Mister Antoś said there are some people.

They're probably buying tickets to tomorrow's play.

That's so funny.

Miss Ewa!

We have to start. - We'll wait 10 more minutes.

It's 5:15 already, if we don't start now the next concert...

Then 5 minutes! - Don't ask, Piotr!

Let's go.

Let's go, come on!

Calm down, let's go.

For the pain, for the tears, for the sadness,

For everything I miss

For that scream, my awful dreams, and for everything that's changing

For your stubborness, for my bravery, For those who left

I was gifted these two hands and a whisper grander than your songs

Pause it.

Now what's the matter?

Let's cut the next song.

I'm bored of the concerts. It's boring.

No. - What do you mean, "no"?

You're asking me if I took part in...

You promised her this song! Didn't you?

We don't have to kiss and make up right away,

I'm just not very good, I'm just not very good with dates!

In October I was still a baby, And in March I became a wife and mum!

In August he took his suitcase, And it all came out wrong...

From December to January That's just how it is!

Can't you see how it is?

Bravo!

Stop!

Yes?

If I promised her this song, then we'll do it like this.

Cut the shot showing the crowd and show an empty audience.

That's just not the truth.

Nobody came to the first concert.

For the second one they gave out invitations,

so people came, because it was free.

On the 3rd and 4th the audience was empty again.

What's the truth, then?

I already told you. This isn't fair.

Fair to her or the movie?

And what's more important to you, fairness or honesty?

I'm not judging you. It's your movie.

Precisely. It's only mine.

And you think two kinds of pain killers will help you?

In October I was still a baby, And in March became a wife and mum!

In August he took his suitcase, And it all came out wrong...

From December to January That's just how it is!

Piotr! - What?

Wash my back.

Can't someone else do it? - Stop that.

Don't get mad, you'll do a couple more concerts,

you'll sell something, pay back your debts.

Lower.

Don't try to make me feel better. It's not helping.

I don't care about that shitty Warsaw scene at all. Their loss.

I'm going to be so late, oh, so late!

Please, hurry it up.

Piotr. - Yes?

Please, don't go tonight.

Go tomorrow. - I have to go today.

I promised my parents that I would come after the party.

I only have one week of vacation.

Piotr.

Hug me.

It's not that I don't care.

They just don't want me. They don't want me anywhere.

Why don't they want me?

Didn't you ever wonder why?

Why then?

You're aggressive, rude, and you always have to be right.

You have to bend everyone to your will and everyone's afraid of you.

Do you think so as well?

I thought you're the only one who really knows me.

I do know you, but I can't get you places.

That's too bad.

Wait!

After Christmas we're preparing a new play, there's a good role for you in it.

I'll call the director, I'll talk to him,

he'll definitely do that for me. He knows you're a great actress.

Hurry up, you're supposed to drive.

Stop. Cut the middle of this scene where she's complaining.

And add this sound.

I recorded this to test the sound before we started shooting one day.

Why aren't you talking?

Are you mad?

No.

I've been meaning to ask you this for a while now.

Why are you making this movie?

I'm sorry.

There's so many things going on around right now.

Everything that's around. But not head-on.

Where did that obsession come from?

It's in all your movies.

In every movie there's this strong, aggressive, selfish persona.

You're not...

Yeah, I'm just a small, fluffy, warm woman.

We don't really have the time to talk about this.

Right. - I want to finish this.

Of course.

Piotr. - Yes?

I don't want you to go tonight.

I have to go.

Go tomorrow, I need you here with me, you need to stay and help me!

I promised that I'd visit my parents after the party.

I need to rest, I only have one week of vacation.

Listen, if you leave tonight...

I will. - Then you can stay away.

After Christmas we're preparing a new play, there's a good role for you in it.

He'll do it for me, he knows what a great actress you are.

He'll get you in for sure. Please, hurry up.

Hurry up. I'll call you later.

Ewa?

Come to us, let's share the communion.

Wait a moment.

Marek? Hi.

Good evening, you monster.

What are you doing on this lovely day?

No, I'm alone.

I'm all alone and I'm working.

At least, trying to.

Do you wanna drop by?

No, don't worry about that, that doesn't matter.

Please, come over.

Please.

Okay.

Alright, I'll be waiting.

Come on, Ewa!

I can't, you see. Someone's coming.

I hate this holiday, the fucking trees and gifts,

the Santas! I hate them!

I'm sorry.

We're waiting.

Hello, Piotr?

Merry Christmas to you and your parents.

I couldn't come, I'm working.

Yes, I'm working.

Did you call him?

You were supposed to call that director

about that role for me.

Hello?

Are you there?

He doesn't want to.

No, it doesn't matter what he said, I know what he said.

I know what he said!

That I don't play in theatre, that my rewards don't matter,

that the movies don't matter,

and that the whole crew doesn't want me!

Don't try to make me feel better!

Don't you get that it's not about the stupid play?

It's about my life!

Magda? I know it's Christmas Eve, but please, come over...!

Magda?

Jesus, what happened?

Calm down.

Please, calm down.

If you want I can come over.

What else should I do?

I guess I should apologise.

Turns out all my choices, all the opportunities,

the options... It all makes no sense.

I don't know if I'll ever make a movie again.

You will.

Oh, God.

I didn't hear anything.

I'm so happy he called.

Who? - Piotr.

It's pretty nice. You can still sell it for a couple millions.

It's not for sale. It's a gift, a memory.

One more thing. You only have 3 litres of gas left.

You can make it to Warsaw.

I'm not going to Warsaw.

Are you okay? - I'm just hungover.

I don't think you should drive too far, then.

Mister Kazimierz. - I don't have the money right now,

I'll pay you back next month, okay? - Sure, no problem.

Well, hello there, master!

I can't! - What do you mean?

Are you serious?

What do I care?

Hello, auntie. It's Ewa.

I...

Ewa, wait!

Ewa!

Magda called.

She'll be here soon.

I don't need her.

I don't need anybody.

I'm moving out.

When I came here for the first time, I thought I could protect you.

From whom?

Myself?

I'm moving out.

I heard.

I think I'm in love.

She has an appartament, too.

Magda.

This is my new number.

Well, see you around, then. - Bye.

Hey.

I'd like for you to star in my newest film.

Actually... I want the movie to be about you.

Well.

That's it.

Thursday we're recording? - What about the rest of it?

Put it away, I don't know...

Do something.

I don't have the strenght to... - I wasn't going to say anything,

but I have to ask.

Tell me, is this morally acceptable?

No.

What is morally acceptable? - So you, too...

Give it a rest.

We'll show it to her tomorrow and talk about everything.

No, tell me now.

She's not important here, I was looking for...

Alright, stop.

Go rest. Get some sleep. - See you.

Bye.

Magda!

I forgot I was supposed to remind you of the meeting.

That doesn't matter, either.

I'm done.

I need to sleep. Relax a little.

See you tomorrow.

We need it.

Both of us.

You're the actress.

I can hide behind a camera,

I can prove my knowledge and experience, my truth.

Maybe we can...

find the mistake...

Well...

You should sue her. - Exactly.

Where is she, I wonder?

Mister Jurek? - Yes?

Why isn't she here?

Yesterday night after montage...

Yes, I know.

I heard. - She left, and then...

Yesterday after work... - Yes, after work.

They saw her in a club.

I heard she was having a lot of fun. Got very drunk.

And then she swallowed a whole bottle of sleeping pills.

No.

She'll be alright.

Quiet, darling.

Quiet, now...
