I was afraid I'd never grow up,

and they'd call me 'Midget' my whole life.

LONG LIVE THE REPUBLIC! (ME AND JULINA AND THE END OF THE GREAT WAR)

It's high, maybe 2000 metres. Probably observing.

Yeah, that's all you care about. Useless stuff.

Here. And don't go to Vitlich's. Leave those dogs alone.

- Tell him you want half a can. - Okay.

Be careful. Don't fall off.

Don't worry. I know how to ride this.

[In German and Czech] Blacksmith.

[In Czech] Blacksmith after the war!

Good morning.

Europe's biggest nitwits: Kaderka, Cumat, Rez and Vasak.

Beep! Beep!

- Midget! Hey, Midget. - Where're you going?

Hey guys.

- You're too short, Midget! - You can't reach the pedals!

I can. Easy.

Is that your grandad's bike?

Cumát, the idiot... Kaderka, the thief... Vasák, the shitbag

Rez lives in a stinky house.

I always imagined great things.

No, please, Midget...

Look at yourself!

- He flew just like those angels! - Hey, Angel!

Morning, Mr Kaderka.

He acts like he owns the road.

MASTER BUILDER JOSEF PETRZELÁ

Petrzela. My dad says what he hasn't stolen, he doesn't have.

And he has everything.

Now you're in a hurry.

You can sew a million of these flags if you want.

People will be angry anyway. Do you hear me?

- Yes, I can hear you. - I'd like two crowns worth of whitewash.

- How much? - Two crowns worth.

You could have gone to the pharmacy for that.

- Is that Russian or German? - Messerschmitt.

- Yeah? - A fighter plane.

The two crowns?

Half a can, my dad said.

If your dad keeps skimping like this, he'll be the next Rothschild.

Business with you...

Cyril!

Cyril!

Come here, come...

Cyril!

THIS VILLAGE HAS FULFILLED ALL ITS OBLIGATIONS TO THE REICH

[IN GERMAN] Speak German? Czech?

You expecting a Russian?

Where have you been? At a limestone pit?

- Petrzelová wasn't home. - Liar! I went looking for you there!

Don't beat him in the street.

This pennies' worth for two crowns?

TYPHOID

Julina!

- Where is that boy? - Olda! Oldrich!

Good boy.

Hi.

- Go home, Midget! - Crashed any more bikes lately?

You did.

Get the hell out of here, you brats. Ruda is busy.

- Get out of here! - We're going, Mr Niklík.

- Goodbye, Mr Niklík. - Goodbye.

- Go back to mummy. - Yeah, come back when you grow up!

Want me to kick your arse?

No! No!

Quiet! Dad, I'll walk the dog. Aga!

- Stop whistling, idiots. - Why is Midget here?

Take me with you, guys.

- You can't come. - Why?

Come on, lads!

Get him down!

- Can you hear that? - What?

- Again. - I can hear it.

I hear it.

- The artillery. It's from the front. - You can hear it better on the ground.

- From how far can you hear the guns? - Fifty kilometres.

- Who said so? - Cmíral. - He's an idiot.

Fall. Die.

Come on.

Dimwits.

Can you see the bridge?

The magnification is great.

Look, the tanks.

- Right under me. - Give it to me. - Wait.

The lookout watches the bridge. Russians could bomb it.

Two, four, six... eight of them.

- Maybe they'll burn down the village. - I'd like to see that.

- No, twelve. - One more. Thirteen.

I wouldn't let them lock me in a cellar. No way.

- When do we get a chance to see another war? - Maybe the school will burn down!

And the headmaster dies!

- You put it up wrong. - Someone must have taken it!

The shoes are gone too.

- The arsehole is here. - You're an arsehole.

Oldrich, Oldrich, come out. We won't hurt you.

- I'll hurt him! - Me too.

Don't be afraid. Come on. Put the ladder back.

He can't. He's too weak to lift it.

Rez lives in a stinky cloud of gas!

Go and join the army, they'll send you back to mommy.

Come out, Midget. I'm counting to five!

- One, two... - Three, four... Hundred... Million.

No ladder for you. Cumát, you stupid...

When I get hold of you I'll break your face!

Kaderka, I'll teach you...

You threw that on your uncle's grave. Call yourself a good nephew?

Come back. Do you hear me?

Don't be afraid.

Come on, put up the ladder!

Oldrich, where are you?

Mummy...

Oldrich!

Oldrich!

One day you'll kill him. And they'll lock you up for it.

Brother fire marshal, the fire brigade is ready for practice.

Thank you. Line up.

Leave the hoses alone! At once!

No, don't...

[VOICES SPEAKING IN GERMAN]

Selma!

Selma!

Hello - Please come in!

- Hi, Cyril. - Hey, Dog-boy, what are you doing here?

I came to see the puppies.

There may be shooting. You should have stayed at home.

- They'll blow your head off. - I'm not afraid. Are you?

Goddamn it, Oldrich, what's happened now?

I ran away from him.

You did?

Same old story.

For how long?

Forever. I'm not going back. Never.

Of course. Why would you?

Come.

- He drowned the puppy you'd given me. - Come, Dog-head.

I'll warm some soup for you.

I shot five ravens yesterday.

They made a fine soup.

Cyril, you ran away too, when you were young, didn't you?

No.

I made it up.

I was just showing off in front of you, Oldrich.

No, you ran away. You only came back when you were twenty.

When your father died.

Did I tell you that?

Come.

- Selma! - They shot her from a car.

Have you seen anyone on the road? A crowd approaching?

- What sort of crowd? - Forget it.

Find a spade. We'll have a funeral.

We'll bury her.

Do people already know they're gone?

Did your father not send you to check it out?

Why? I was with the lads. By the church.

- Where do we bury her? - Out the back. Just a minute.

- Someone banging on the gate? - It's the artillery.

- Did Singer have a lot of money? - Well, he was no beggar.

Are you looking for something, Cyril?

You can measure yourself.

Why are you burning it?

To keep warm.

- Aren't you cold? - No.

Let's go.

- What are you doing? - It's just a game.

No it isn't.

- Have I ever lied to you? - You always do.

You'll grow up to be a clever chap, Oldrich.

They're guarding the bridge.

So that the Russians don't blow it up.

Do you want to take something home to your father?

But these thing aren't yours.

You certainly don't take after your father.

Nor after your grandpa.

- You don't remember him, do you? - No. Did you know him?

I did. He was the biggest penny-pincher ever.

He'd rather shit his pants than manure someone else's field.

You should look up to him.

He was an honest, hard-working man. Right until his death.

We'll bring the candle back next time. Someone could steal it from here.

That's not true. He wasn't a penny-pincher.

He could certainly manage money.

He stole what he could steal. At sixty, he was still chasing rabbits.

I almost thought they wouldn't come.

Who the hell's locked this? Someone must have been here before us.

I can just imagine their idiot sons in their places.

Climb over it.

I'll break it open.

Maybe someone's still there?

Can you see them?

- Yeah. - Remember them well.

Why are they here?

You'll have a hard life, lad.

THE PRIDE OF THE COUNTRY AND THE CHURCH

Anyone here?

Hey! Anyone here?

Quiet. Stop yelling.

Where are the wheels?

Cyril, how did you know they'd come for the carts?

I dreamed about it, at night.

I'd love to catch the clever bastard who was here before.

I bet you would. Smart as a bishop, you are.

Come and help me load this.

This one's mine. Finder's keepers.

Perhaps we can share the engine...

Oh yeah! Why did I bring you with me? I should have kept my mouth shut.

But they already have their own carts, don't they?

You really don't take after your grandfather.

Don't think about her anymore. I'll give you one of the puppies.

You'll see.

Is that someone from your family?

Nice.

I found it. On the road.

Do you smoke?

Sometimes.

If your father finds that, he'll knock your head off.

Oldrich, Oldrich!

Oldrich, come home. Come to bed.

Oldrich, it's late.

You'll catch a cold out there.

You have no coat. You'll freeze. Come inside.

Oldrich, please, come in. Can you hear me?

- Is dad home? - He's asleep already.

- He isn't. - I'm telling you he is.

- You always say so. - Don't shout. Come.

- Will he beat me? - He won't.

You always say that.

Mom?

- Where have you been again, you brat? - Don't hit him!

I'll sort it out with him. You'll kill him.

Well? Are you going to do something or should I?

Hit me.

Hit me.

Hit me!

Go to sleep now.

That's it now. What are we going to do?

They'll certainly take your horse away, for sure.

Who said the Russians would take horses?

- Everybody says so. - The vicar was told by the Germans.

- That's it now. - We're sending the horses to the woods.

All the way out to the cliffs. The boys will take them there.

- The boys? The small ones? - Who else?

One must stay around the house. What if there's a fire?

Alright.

Neither of them will hurt the boys.

Alright.

Oldrich, Oldrich!

Get up. You're going somewhere!

- He's waiting for you already. - Should I wake the young gentleman up?

No, he's awake already.

What are you doing?

Did you wake up coughing?

I'm not going with the boys. Not with those sods.

- You didn't have night sweats? - I told you, I don't cough anymore.

Don't shit your pants, alright?

You'll take the old road, cross the wooden bridge.

All the others will go that way. The hay and oats are on the cart.

Mum, give him some bread and lard.

- Which way are you going again? - The old road,

cross the wooden bridge. All the others will go that way.

The hay and oats are on the cart. Mum will give me bread and lard.

Oldrich!

What?

Here.

Two cups of oats in the morning and in the evening. Hay at noon.

And water as much as she wants. Hear me?

Yeah, I do.

- You remember the way? - Cross the bridge... - Go!

- Careful with the horse. - Oldrich, take care of yourself.

And if you meet any Germans, tell them "Ich verstehe das nicht" ["I don't understand"].

Go!

Go!

Quiet.

Oh, Jesus.

I'd love to lend you the money, Cyril.

I'd love to, but I don't even know how I'm going to pay the taxes myself.

Go to the stall. Count the horsehair.

Oldrich, can't you lend me something?

Kaderka will make me bankrupt if I don't pay him back.

Now he'll get my meadow and everything else for a few crowns.

You should lend him something. What can he do?

I'm in trouble myself. Am I a bank or something?

You know she's ill and they can't afford the treatment.

Jesus Christ, what a life.

Starting price, thirty crowns.

Forty.

Forty crowns,

The bid is forty crowns

and it's sold for forty.

Starting price, 2000 crowns.

2100. For the meat.

2100 for the first time,

2100 for the second time

2200.

2200 for the first time,

2200 for the second time...

Three thousand.

3000 for the first time,

3000 for the second time...

Sold for 3000!

Cyril! Your wife has hanged herself!

Come on, Midget!

Run away!

Mr Vitlich. Mr Vitlich!

Who are you, brat? A king or a chimney sweep?

Cyril!

Iza!

- Come on, don't you get anything to eat? - I feed them.

Watch out, someone might steal your horse away.

And you know your father. He'd have a stroke, at least!

They fly no more.

They let the bridge be.

Cyril, were you in Vrbovka? Where that motorcycle is?

What did I tell you? I told you to hurry up!

- Can you hear something? - No, what?

They're gone.

They are gone. The Russians will be here in no time.

Cyril, may I take Iza with me to the forest?

Are you scared?

A little bit, eh?

Alright then.

Thank you, Cyril.

Iza, come!

Oldrich. Be careful.

DEDICATED TO JAN AND ALZBETA CUMAT

IN MEMORY OF JAROSLAV KADERKA

KADERKA + CUMÁT + REZ + VASAK = STUPID PIGS

What is it?

Whoa!

Got him!

We've got you, Midget!

Who? You? You'll have to try harder than that.

Go!

Go! Go!

Whoa! Whoa!

Give it up, Midget!

Go!

Go!

Vasák, you're a dead man now!

Move over, Vasák, or else you're dead!

Whoa!

Vasák, hay-sack!

Hey, Midget, stop! It'll be worse for you when we catch you.

Yeah? When is that gonna happen?

Whoa! Whoa!

Stop, you idiot. Can't you see you're trampling crops?

That's our rye, Midget!

Stop chasing me then.

- Stop! - Where are you going?

- Midget! - Stop, you arsehole!

- Go! - Go!

- The Russians! Russian planes! - Are they Russian?

- Couldn't you see the stars? - I saw the machine guns.

- Four machine guns. - No way, stupid. Those were bombers.

- Oh my! - They're flying to Brno.

Really, Kaderka? Since when is Brno in that direction? Since yesterday?

- Are you still here? - Leave me alone, guys.

Vasák, I'll give you a cigarette case with a sexy photo in it, how'd you like that?

Take a picture of yourself of how you looked before the beating.

I know where there's a motorcycle.

Oh yeah? And what about that ladder yesterday? Where's that?

- We've got to slap you a bit. - Not Cumát.

No, not me. I'll kick you instead.

Go!

- I'll slap you ten times, Midget! - Five!

Ten! Stop! You're making it worse!

Got Go! Go!

We've got you, Midget!

Go!

Go!

Hey, Midget! Stop! You'll kill yourself!

What's wrong?

Drink. It's clean now.

Good.

Hey, you've had enough. You're doing that on purpose.

Go!

Go!

Here.

Quiet, it's just a hawk.

[GERMAN VOICES]

[IN GERMAN] Is that your horse? Good horse, yes?

[IN GERMAN] Don't be afraid. Chocolate, yes?

It's my horse! Leave it alone! Get off me! Ow! Ow!

No!

Help!

Help me! No! No!

Get down, Oldrich, or you'll fall.

Come! Come!

Dad! Daddy! Over here!

Do you see that?

Come, mum, come. Don't be afraid.

- Oldrich, no! It'll kick you! - Here, Oldrich, take this.

- Dad! - Go!

You see? Come on.

Don't be so afraid!

Come!

Dad! Daddy!

Come, come here.

Oldrich, bring some carrots.

- But I've been confirmed already. - What? What?

Halt! Halt!

Go away! Where were you?

The bells have flown to Rome.

Stop following me! Why didn't you bite them?

Julina!

To the cart! Make sure the wheels are oiled properly.

Do you want me to drive, Dad?

You better wipe your nose and hold on tight.

Go!

Whoa!

Iza, where did they go? Search!

I thought they were dead. I didn't think people slept in a battle.

Just let me get dressed and I'll go immediately.

Dad?

You'll have two sons before you're twenty.

[IN RUSSIAN] Where are you going? Stop!

Stop!

Stop!

[IN RUSSIAN] Stop, I'm telling you!

[IN RUSSIAN] What? Never seen a horse before?

The Germans.

You Slovak?

Austrian?

No?

Well, me Russian. And you?

- Czech. - What's Czech? Slovak?

Not Slovak. Czech.

- It's Moravia here. Czech Republic. - Moravia?

What's your name?

Hear me?

Me: Vasiliy, and you?

- Oldrich. - What?

Oldrich?

Are you a girl?

Oldrich.

Hold this.

Come here.

Moravia! Moravia already!

Iza, come. Come.

Hooray!

Four horses would've been enough.

Even two.

Or just one would do.

The German had a knife, Dad. He wanted to kill me!

- I'll kill you! - No!

The Midget.

Quiet, Iza. Quiet!

[IN RUSSIAN] Stop!

[IN RUSSIAN] Don't shoot! It's a kid!

Who do you belong to?

Does it hurt?

You're called Number Five?

Are you thirsty?

You can't come with me.

Go!

- Mom, what are stars? - They're eyes.

- Whose eyes? - The eyes of the Lord.

- Why does he have so many? - Well, he has to watch everyone.

- Even me? - Even you.

Well he can't see me now.

Go! Go! Stop, stop! Whoa!

Mommy!

Goddamn you, Dog-boy!

Where have you been all this the bloody time?

You deserve to be beaten. Where the hell have you been?

Didn't you notice there was a war on? Stupid brat.

I'm not stupid not to notice.

All the other boys are in the woods, so you must be the special one again.

- Where have you been? - Stop hitting me?

I'm not your son, so stop hitting me!

There are Russians at the farm already. It looks like they're early.

The Germans stole Julina from me.

- What did they steal? - My horse.

You're kidding.

I'm not going home. Never.

- Where did you get this one? - I found it.

Did you know the Germans have destroyed the bridge?

- It's been blown to pieces. - Hm.

What's wrong with it, Cyril?

Just about everything. Wipe your nose.

- Where did they take Julina? - Towards Rýnovice. Through the woods.

Wipe your nose.

- Hey, can't you blow your nose? - I haven't got a handkerchief.

Can't you do it without a handkerchief?

- I don't need to blow my nose. - There's a bubble coming out of it.

- What? - Your nose is running.

Yeah, silly jokes, you're an expert in that. Show me.

- Where did you find it? - It's mine.

- Who gives out stuff like this? - The Russians.

- Cyril, what's a lieutenant? - Have you been there?

Got a mirror?

What am I supposed to do with the puppies if you don't come back?

Who shall I give them to?

I can't have my house full of dogs.

Here, cover yourself up. The dog is cold.

Sleep now.

- Is a horse more expensive than a motorbike? - Just sleep.

We'll find Julina.

They probably didn't get far.

Must have left the horse and cart somewhere.

- Did your father say anything about me? - No. What sort of thing?

Or Cumát? Old Cumát. He comes to your place often, doesn't he?

What would they say about you?

Forget it.

- Where're you going, Cyril? - Nowhere. I'll be around.

Sleep.

Move! Come on, move!

Go!

Go! Go!

Go!

Cyril!

Cyril!

Iza!

[IN RUSSIAN] What are you doing here?

Where are you going?

Stop!

Catch him!

Stop!

Brno. That way?

Aha. Prague?

- I've got a motorbike. - Hm?

Yeah, a motorbike. I have it.

- You? - Yeah. A motorbike with a sidecar.

- Where? - Right there.

No!

[IN RUSSIAN] Go away.

Go. Go!

[IN RUSSIAN] What's up?

Get in.

Get in.

Well, now what?

Away we go!

Compliments, Frau Singer.

Throw it here, Midget!

I never knew,

that in some distant German city, a cart stood in front of the station

for a whole day.

It was our horse, Julina.
