wherever they may live,

are citizens of Berlin.

And therefore,
as a free man...

I take pride in the words:

I am a Berliner.

Mr. Gorbachev,
open this gate.

I pay tribute to...

those who have sacrificed their lives
in University Square.

My 17 year old son and his friends,
with great courage,

stood up against the tanks
to defend the citizens

demonstrating for freedom
and democracy.

Later, my son died the ER.

Eat your dinner.

- When will papa come home?
- I don't know.

He's at the hospital. He's very busy.

It's been two days since he was home.

Your papa is a doctor
and must be at the hospital.

There's a lot of work. He's
working double shifts.

Don't worry.

We thank these young people
who died for our freedom.

Papa's home.

Florin, you're home.

- What's happening?
- There are many wounded.

It's best to take the child
the country, to your mother.

It'll take me a couple of hours.
Get his coat.

How's my little man?

Don't get up.

Eat.

- Come, eat. Give me a bit.
- Have you stopped Ceausescu?

Not yet.
Eat, eat! We're in a hurry.

If you win, can we
buy a Mercedes?

Sure, and travel
around the world.

What's with all this nonsense?

- Come on, come on.
- Let's get going.

Put on your coat.

- Be good, okay?
- Okay.

And you be careful.
Try not to leave.

I'll be back as soon as I can.

- You be careful, too.
- Sure. Goodbye!

Some members of security
have made it into the building.

What do you want?
What are they trying to do?

Do not shoot at the balconies
the Central Committee building.

Our military is inside!

Our military is inside!

The army is with us!

The army is with us!

Stay here.
Don't leave the car.

Don't move!

Ioan!

Ioan!

- Hey.
- Hey.

- What are you doing?
- Changing the spark plugs.

Are you still driving this
pile of junk?

It's not great, but it's not
a pile of junk.

Get rid of it, man.

Have you thought about it,
what we talked about?

- What?
- Are you gonna come?

- I've got wrong wrench!
- Tell me if you're coming...

I'm not the kind of person who
sits around and waits.

- I don't know.
- What's not to know?

What do you expect from this crap place?
What are you gonna do?

You wanna change spark plugs and inflate
tires for the rest of your life?

I was born here and this is what I do.

I didn't ask that. Just tell me.
Are you coming with me or not?

What will I do if I go with you?

If you do as I say, you'll earn in...

- a day what you do here in a month.
- Yea, sure.

For sure. I've been doing it
long enough to know.

Will you give me money
for the trip?

- How much have you got?
- Not much.

- How much?
- Two, three hundred dollars.

- Don't worry. We're together.
- Yea?

Of course, we're pals, right?

You've been there already.
For me it's the first time.

Do you know what your problem, man?

You have no balls.

I hate to leave my mother
and my grandmother.

When you start sending them money,
they'll thank you for leaving.

Do you think I can buy
a car?

If you do as I say,
you can buy ten trucks.

Here. Put those clothes on.

- Why?
- Just put them on and don't ask.

- But, I'm not dirty.
- That's not the problem.

In those cloths, you look
like a poor Romanian.

Wear these and you'll have no
trouble with the police.

- Well?
- We'll have no problems.

- Wake up!
- Wake up!

- Wake up!

Passports, please.

Where did you get this?

Come with us.

- Come with us.
- Come on!

But why?

Don't worry. It's a mistake.

I don't know what they want.

- You can stay.
- You have three months.

Three months!

- Where are they taking you?
- I'll see you in Italy.

See you in Rome! Don't worry.

- What can I do there alone?
- I'll see you soon.

- Where in Rome?
- The Piazza della Republica.

When?

Papa. What did you want to do
when you were young?

I wanted to travel the world.

So, why didn't you?

Why not, papa?

Because they were afraid
I wouldn't come back.

So, what do you want to do
when you grow up?

Me? I want to travel
the world, too.

- Travel?
- Yes.

Okay, I'll help.

But you must promise me
one thing...

That you'll come back.

- Sure.
- And tell me what you saw.

- Okay?
- Okay.

- Are you sure?
- Absolutely.

- Deal.
- Deal.

Deal.

Hey. You can't sleep here.

I told you before, you
can't come in here!

Ignore him. He's a ball breaker.

You can't be in here. It's private!

The public toilets are upstairs.

How much paper do you need?

As if you pay for it!

Look, if you're caught here...

I get canned. So, disappear.

Fuck you!

Don't get smart with me!

The next time I see you in here,
I'm calling the police.

Hey, come on!

Wake up!

Get up.

Hey, buddy...

Come on!

I was only resting.

Yea, whatever you said,
but you can't sleep here.

You can't stay here.

You're the guy who stole my Walkman!

Give it back!

Open the door, goddammit!

It wasn't me!

Give me back my Walkman or
give me the money!

I give money.

Open the fucking door or
I'm calling the police!

No police.
I'll give you money!

I didn't take your Walkman...

But, I know who did.

Leave me alone and don't come
back. Is that clear?

Besides, how can you sleep here?

Here they come. They're gonna
think I let you in.

When you're born somewhere, stay there.
Everyone should stay in their own country.

Do you think I'm gonna go to your country
and make a nuisance of myself?

- You well off. Not me.
- Yea. Me. Right.

- Why not let me sleep here?
- You can't!

I'll pay.

- How much?
- Five euros a night.

As if I'd jepordise my job
for five euros a night.

Don't you have a place to sleep?
A house? A friend?

Evan a web site costs
ten euros a night.

Too much.

Come on, get out!

Okay, Eight. But in advance.

It's a quiet place with
respectable people.

Don't make a lot of noise.

The owner lives upstairs. She is an
actress. A real pain.

This place is very quiet
and overlooks the city.

Furnished apartments are expensive,
but they have their advantages.

The refrigerator.
You can use a shelf.

The bathroom. With a
nice sliding door.

Everything's automatic and modern,
although the door doesn't work well.

And the shower?

Hot and cold running water.
But, it doesn't work so well.

Do you have a screwdriver?
A screwdriver?

A screwdriver... I don't know.
I'm not very handy.

I prefer to study, think.
I like to understand things.

Will a knife work okay?

The rest at the end of the month.

Always on time.
Like a Swiss watch.

Yea, sure. Swiss. Watch...

The rest by the end of the month
or I'll cut you off...

Electricity. Gas. Everything.

It's a plumber I hired to fix
the faucets. On my own.

- The plumber showers?
- You have to try it.

You think you can fool me,
I know. But I'll be watching.

First time here? You look like
a bee looking for honey.

- Where you from?
- Romania.

Got your papers?

Yes

Let me see.

And this would be for a
residence permit?

This expires in 15 days.
Are you kidding me?

- What's your name?
- Ioan.

- Can you take apart an engine?
- Yes

Let's see.

Open the hood.
Tira.

Open the hood!
How the hell does it work?

It's stuck.
Can't you see that?

Don't think 'cause you fixed the TV,
you don't have to pay rent.

I'll pay!

Even if you go to a hotel
and there's a TV...

you don't pay more. It's like a bonus.

Your mother's on the phone.

Everything's okay...

I've been hired as a full-time
employee...

Don't worry. If something happens,
I'll call you.

My phone's not covered here.

Yes. And don't send any more money.
Okay? Bye.

First, you owe me rent.

Second, your friend stays...

I'll have to raise your rent.

Third, why did you tell your
mother all those lies?

I wonder what kinds of stories
you tell your parents.

What do I tell them? I tell them
the truth. I'm an actress.

- What do you do?
- I work as an extra.

But, everyone in Italian cinema
knows why I haven't succeeded.

Why?

Because I haven't slept with anyone!

If I did, I'd be walking down
red carpets all over Europe...

collecting awards by the dozens.

But, Why am I telling you this?

Maybe you should just tell the dog.
Perhaps he believes it.

Stanislavsky, attack!

Come on.

I want you to try my specialty.

I won't ask you to pay.

Fresh tomatoes, sauteed in
a little olive oil...

with little bit of garlic...

And, finally, basil. Never cut
with the knife, but with his hands.

It's great. You could
open a restaurant.

My grandfathers were cooks.

In Abruzzi.

"The Palomba"
a fantastic restaurant.

- Where's Abruzzi?
- Abruzzi?

Italy.

The boot.

Here, Rome.
Here, Abruzzi.

- So, what brought you here?
- I came to study.

Then I found work.

Because, if you don't work...

if you have no money in your pocket,
even for one day, you're screwed.

It makes me laugh because
you know very well.

It not only applies to the poor
smucks who come here.

If you don't cover your ass here...

If you don't have a family
to help you...

you're a smuck, even in your country.

Let us live, my Lesbia, and love.

Rumors of the stern old are
not worth a dime.

Give me a thousand kisses, then another
hundred, then a thousand more again...

A hundred, then another thousand and then
a thousand, thousand, thousand...

You can't hang laundry
on the terrace!

The community rules prohibit it!

Great!

So, what do we do?

We wait for the sun.

Do you believe in God?

I trust him. You?

I doubt, because...

Follow this reasoning:
If He's infinitely good...

why do people suffer?

Children, for example.

What have we done wrong?

We disobeyed and so we're
being punished.

Bullshit! There's been thousands
of years...

millions of people have been
born and died...

and He's still pissed?
And they call that good!

Come!

You're crazy!

Come!

We have to swim.

- Swim?
- Yes...

Or we'll freeze. Come on!

No, hey, no!
I can't swim.

What?

I'll teach you.
It's easy.

Halfway between loose and rigid.

Don't move.

I'll let you go.

- It's nice here, right?
- Yes, it's nice.

- You have a girlfriend?
- I like being free.

Freedom. Freedom is priceless.

No worries, you understand?

No responsibility.

Now, for example, if you and I
want to go travel, we leave.

- Where?
- I don't know...

- To Romania.
- Romania.

We start a business...

import and export.

But you already have a job, here.

So what? We start a new business.

Import export.

People without papers
can't do anything.

- I'll get on it.
- How?

I'll hire you to be my assistant.

You can't.

Why not?

You clean. You can't
have assistants.

People who are cleaners
can't have helpers?

Even I have helpers
in the morning.

But if not that,
what do we do?

Open an Italian restaurant.

That takes a lot of money.

€20,000 to start.
You and I go fifty-fifty.

You work, and now I work...

We save some money. That's how.

It'd be great...

especially for my parents. When
they die, I'll have my business.

Something like this.

Wood is cheap in Romania.
There are many forests.

What do we call it?

"Ioan and Michele."

To "Ioan and Michele"!

- When you're done, come to my office.
- Right away, sir.

I was promised another three months.

They signed another contract.
What can I do?

I have to cut out the personal touches.

A month without Social Security...
No way.

Then do like that guy who
complained to the union.

- These are the rules, you know.
- What about me? I have obligations.

We'll see how things go. Maybe we
can do some re-arranging.

I'll be waiting 40 years for things
to get rearranged.

Wake up! You'll be late!

Get up.

- Bye. Until tonight.
- Yea, tonight.

Maybe something temporary. You're
40 years old. Age doesn't help.

Lots of men have been layed off.

Do you drive?

- I have a Vespa.
- It's going to be very hard.

Anyway, I'll file the data.
You already gave us your CV.

And I need your phone numbers,
mobile and home.

Better home.

When I buy one, I'll drive you
home. To Romania.

I'll show you the most beautiful
place in the world.

- And what is?
- The Danube delta.

You've never seen a place
more beautiful.

- More beautiful than Venice?
- You bet!

That's where we'll open
our restaurant.

- Hello.
- Hello.

- Are you the owner?
- Yes.

Let me see your ID, please.

We're looking for someone we heard
works here. A boy from Romania.

No. Here there's no Romanian.
Are you sure?

- He doesn't have a residency permit.
- No. There's no one like that here.

The cops!

Sorry, but I can't get closed down
because of you.

There are people with families
working here.

I can't take such a big risk.
They about closed me down.

You're a good kid. A good worker.
But, I can't take the chance.

Times are tough. Sorry.

- Have you seen Michele?
- Michele who?

He no longer works here. It's
been a month or more.

- Are you sure?
- Absolutely.

Did you leave early today?

- What's up?
- I lost my job.

You lost your job, too. I went
by and you weren't there.

Because I've been moved!

- Why didn't you tell me?
- I forgot.

I'm getting fed up!

My friend, I'm not the
hitting anyone.

That's how the work is. We move
from one place to another.

I don't have to give you an
account, understand?

You wanted an excuse to leave?
Well, leave!

You came from Romania to fuck me.
Just like the rest!

- I thought we were friends.
- So did I.

Without even a short discussion,
you just grab your stuff and go?

I no longer work.
I can't pay the rent.

Well, neither do I.

- Why didn't you tell me the truth?
- Because I have my privacy!

While not talk
Pretend you don't understand.

They won't believe it!

And both.

Didn't they say ten minutes?

We've waiting almost half an hour.

Be careful, handsome so you
don't damage it.

Gently. Gently.

No Italian. Not understand.

I love you, but try at least to
do a decent job. Slow down.

- These immigrants...
- Leave him alone.

Look, this is how it's done.
See? You understand?

What the hell did they teach
you in your countries?

Just came here to steal, huh?

Join the bums in your country,
not here.

They're given the best jobs.
They treat them better than us.

I'm fed up with your kind.

Look, he gets scared and runs away.

- Do you know why?
- Why?

He's afraid to die.

I can't believe it,
you're here!

Amazing! What a mess? At last,
we're both here now.

When did you get here?

A couple of months ago. I looked
for you, but I couldn't find you.

Rome is huge.

So, what happened?
What did you do?

- I worked as a mechanic.
- Yeah?

But I got fired because the cops
came and I had no papers.

Your friend is here now, huh?

God, how good it is!

There are lots of hot women here!

Yes?

Yeah, okay.

I also have a friend.
Yeah, okay.

Very good.

- We've found work.
- What's the job?

- It's fast, and a lot of money.
- What do we do?

- A bit of marketing.
- Marketing?

- Are you clean?
- What do you mean?

- Did you wash? Are you clean?
- Of Course!

So, what do we do?

Just do what I do.

Leave this here.

Don't worry. No one will steal it.

- Your friend's clean?
- Yes, he's a good kid.

Come here. Let's fuck.

What are you waiting for? Come!

Get undressed.

If you want to survive, you have to adapt.
I thought you understood.

But do we need to humiliate
ourselves like that?

You're just an immigrant.
A piece of meat to exploit.

They don't even see you as a person.
Don't forget it.

That's not true. Some people here
aren't like that.

Poor devils like you, you mean.
Only money means something here.

Guys like us are worth less
than dog shit.

If you want some advice,
keep your balls clean...

talk less and laugh more,
or they won't trust you.

Otherwise, you'll get paid less, or
they want even want to see you.

Okay by me 'cause this marketing
is not my thing.

Dad, what's there?

They say the most beautiful place
the world.

- Will you take me one day?
- Yes, I promise.

Who is it?

Me.

What do you want?

Your work is on the telephone.
Move!

Again.
Smile only with your eyes.

Natural.

Look at me.

Lower your gaze.

Hold it.

Only your eyes.

Keep looking.

Ioan, relax. Again.
Lower your gaze.

Like this.
Well.

Very good.

That's it.

That's perfect.
Don't move.

What are you doing?

I found a good job.
I met a photographer.

A what?

A photographer who was looking
for a face like mine.

I need to go with her to Milan.

All set, mate.

I called a new cleaning company.

They hired me permanently!

Good for you, but I'm leaving.

Be careful, brother.
They're all scammers.

That's what I thought, but
she gave me some dough.

And, they're getting my papers.

The aunt gave me a mobile above.

How does this happen to an
unfortunate like you?

I do not know.

If you go, I'm gonna find
for another roommate.

Where will you ever find another
place this nice?

You'll lose it all.

If you find someone trust worthy,
rent it.

Save some money.

- What?
- Nothing.

I feel bad you're leaving.

I'll be back.

Save some money. You here
and me in Milan.

Then we go to Romania.

We opened the restaurant.

Have you forgotten?

"Ioan and Michele.

We're partners, right?

Sure you don't want to swim?

I'm very happy with you.

You're good and spontaneous.

It's not easy.

Are there still many photos
to take?

Until we get the right one.

I was about to quit,
but then I saw your face.

What about my face?

It's clean.

How about the house?

There's even satellite TV.

What will you do with the money?

I want to buy a car
for a trip.

Sorry. I know it's hard for you,
but I have people with families.

Good morning.

Why do you take photos
even while I sleep?

It's my job.

Hold it right there.
Keep your arms raised.

Don't move.

Come to me.
That's it.

Well.

Do you like them?

I spent ten years photographing
wars and revolutions.

Poor people dying
a minute later.

I realized I was no good
for nothing. Milk?

Do you recognize this?

The last revolution.

You were a child, so
you don't remember.

BRING ON THE REVOLUTION

Where you going?

Shame on you.

Hello?

I talk to Michele.

Now?

Since you left, I've been sick!

Your friend still owes me rent!

Please, it's urgent.
Tell him I'll be back.

I have a car now and we can go.

Go to bed!

How rude.

Knock it off!

Turn that damned thing off!

For me, a few tables is fine.

But not round. Square.

For me on the Danube,
square is best.

- What did you call the cheese
we tasted yesterday?
- Telemek.

I'll make pasta with telemek
to launch the restaurant.

We'll leave them speechless.

I'll put fresh cut basil on top.

Never with the knife.

Where are we going?

There.

To the most beautiful place in the world.

To Ioan and Michele.
