My name is John Marczewski.

I want to tell you the story about the last seven days of my life.

It was the hot summer of 2021.

And I was on my way to meet Elena, my wife.

Elena, you were going to meet me at the airport...

surrounded by bodyguards, wearing sunglasses and a scarf.

Hiding from the public.

You would sign our divorce papers in a private lounge.

At least that was the plan...

Mr. Marczewski...

excuse me, you are Mr. Marczewski, aren't you?

Yes...John...John Marczewski. Are you from Ice International?

That' s right. My name is Arthur. This is George. Welcome to NY.

Good, we'll go this way. Take the escalator down to the exit.

Wait... I have a connecting flight in 2 hours you understand.

Where's Elena?

Unfortunately, she couldn't make it. But she really wants to see you.

She couldn't make it?

I just have to deliver some papers and make my connecting flight.

Yes, we know. The divorce papers.

Yes, are we going to talk about my divorce as well?

No Mr. Marczewski. I'm sorry. Here, please come this way.

Sorry... I'm on my way to Calgary. I have work to do.

There's some people waiting for me and now...

The thing is...she really wants to see you.

Do you understand?

Is she okay?

You'll have to change my departure till tomorrow, can you do that?

Off course, George can you take John's ticket?

-Sure. Anything else? -No, I can stay with Michael.

You just have to make sure I can leave tomorrow.

No, no you can have a room. And she has a premiere tonight.

Doesn't she always have premieres?

Would you like to go? She has never skated better.

Yes, I'd love to go. I just need a tuxedo, that's all.

A tuxedo, okay, here this way.

There's a dead man in front of us.

Just step over him.

Step over him?

-Yes, it's someone you know? -No.

So just step over him.

I'm not being rude, but that's not unusual around here.

-Yes, I can see that. -It's the heart.

They say it's mostly lonely or sad people.

Often it's children ,it gets into the heart and bang...you die.

The doctors don't know what it is yet. Apparently it' s the heart.

Yeah. It's the heart.

-That' s in here, right? -Right.

Get out your passport.

-Is he going to the 12th? -Yeah.

Check his bag. I'm sorry, Sir.

She's got a big show tonight.

The elevator is this way, Sir.

I have to warn you there's a lot of people in Elena's suite today.

They've been working day and night preparing the skating show.

You remember David? Elena's manager?

Of course.

-He'd like to have a word with you. -Okay, fine.

Hi, John.

It's been a while.

Congratulations with the premiere. That's wonderful.

Thank you. Thanks.

I'm sorry I couldn't make it out to the airport.

Couldn't make it to the airport...

No off course you couldn't make it to the airport.

You never make it to airports, do you?

No, I guess I don't.

Hi, Betsy.

It couldn't be rearranged 'cause I had 20 minutes to go to the airport.

Oh, I mean...I could have called.

Yes, but you know I never answer my phone.

Yes, I know that.

So...how have you been?

Good, good yes.

I thought I was going to work, but now they're getting me a tuxedo...

-I'm just gonna go say hello. -Yeah.

Hello. Oh, good, good.

Good... You look well... Hi...

-You look beautiful. -Thank you.

Mr. Marczewski... Hi... Pete...

It's great seeing you, man. Good to have you back.

-I know. How have you been? -Doing well, doing well.

Welcome home, John.

Thank you so much. My God, everybody's here.

I didn't know you'd be here.

I wasn't actually planning on it.

Betsy, can you do me a favour?

Can you please make sure that Elena signs these papers?

-Of course... I'll sort it out. -Thanks.

These are your divorce papers?

Yes, I've come to get them signed.

Why cant you just be sweet to each other?

Ah... Come here, Betsy.

I don't understand this.

It's over a year and a half since we split up.

It's nothing to stand here crying over now.

What are you doing here?

I'm only here for the night.

Oh, good, 'cause we can't stand the sight of you.

Look at you... You're still wearing the same...

Why are you two always like that? Do you want to be alone?

You should leave, because we have things to discuss.

Shut up!

Did you see that? I'm your older brother.

Yes... No respect these days...

Elena, your manager is here.

John, you're here.

I should probably leave now. Sorry.

Yes, you should.

John, welcome.

Thank you, David , it's good to see you again. You look well.

Have the boys taken care of everything for you?

Yes, there's no problem. I just need a room.

Room? You can sleep here, like you always have.

No, I'm sorry. That's impossible.

Yes, that's' right, I'm sorry.

I'll arrange for a room for you.

-Make sure John gets a room. -Sure.

All right everybody. Have a seat if you can find one.

Come on, we're leaving in a minute.

Listen up now.

Betsy, you miserable cow sit down and shut up.

Shut up, you pig.

Listen to her. There's no respect any more.

This is an important evening.

You gotta take care...

of each other, we're a family with a few problems.

I know we've had our disagreements, but...

well, problems are there to be solved.

John has arrived and we're delighted to have him back.

So come on, let's hear it for John.

For he's a jolly good fellow

For he's a jolly good fellow

For he's a jolly good felloooow

It's great to see you again.

I'm just going to get some ice.

... in Cuba yeah.

I am pleased about that.

It's good stadium, great...

-And you young lady... -What?

Marciello? Is that you?

I can't hear you. It's John, your little brother.

-John, are you there? -Yes, I hear you.

Listen, I am on my way to Canada...

but I've stopped in New York a couple of hours.

-Oh, New York... -Yes, I have to meet Elena.

-Can you hear me? -Yes, I love New York.

New York is the centre of the world. I wish I could be there with you.

The bridges and Brooklyn... You, Elena.

Marciello, I'm loosing you. Call me back.

John don' t hang up.

-John I'm up in a plane. -You're afraid of flying. Terrified!

Yes, not any more. They gave me an injection against it.

But they gave me an overdose, so I can only fly now!

What? You can only fly?

-We've two things scheduled tonight. -That's nice.

First we go to NNY TV station for an interview then to the arena.

Okay. But first the interview?

Welcome to the NNY Television, Mrs. Marczewski.

Just down there to the left.

It's not long.

John, your flight is 1 1 .25 in the morning.

-Don't stay up late. -Okay.

After the interview we'll go over to the arena.

It's entrance 8. Michael has your ticket.

Is there a more comfortable place for Mr. Marczewski to wait?

No, no, no. We can wait here.

It's nice and calm here and I'd love to watch how you work.

Please have a seat. Would you like something to drink?

Yes, perhaps a glass of water, please.

Please, sit here.

Have the cars brought to the other side, so we don't have to walk.

Michael... Now!

Do we have another angel on this?

Scientists have been rushing to Uganda to investigate the...

''Flying Ugandan''phenomena that occurs twice a week at given times.

Over the last several weeks, numerous key religious leaders...

in Uganda have stated that the ''Flying Ugandan''phenomena...

is a divine sign...

but have encouraged the people to take necessary precautions.

Okello reported an estimated loss of 40 million dollars...

due to the extreme low temperatures that Uganda has faced.

So how was your day?

Ah, it was very nice, thank you.

And you are looking forward for tonight?

Seven...

don't loose this now, Simon.

A little closer on the girl.

Scientists from the world-over...

have been rushing to Uganda to investigate...

the ''Flying Ugandan'' phenomena in which...

temporary loss of gravity has cost the lives...

of nearly 2,000 villagers throughout the country.

You know where your father is?

I don't know. I don't want to fly.

I don't understand.

I don't know what is happening.

I don't want to fly.

We are not angels.

We are human beings.

Less than 10 seconds to go.

-We should leave now. -Okay...

What about Elena?

Two minutes!

-So what kept you guys? -I'm sorry.

We stopped of on the way for a couple of drinks.

-Oh, really? Get in there. -Right this way.

-Michael, come here. -I'll see you.

On behalf of Ice International...

... it is my great pleasure to welcome you all here tonight.

What a fantastic crowd.

And now, ladies and gentlemen...

Five time Gold medallist... Two time World Champion...

The beautiful Elena Marczewski.

Mr. Morrison. It's great to have you back in New York.

Thank you.

-Can I take your bag? -No.

Michael, good morning. Have you seen Elena? She signed the papers?

No, I don't think so.

I'm leaving in an hour and a half. Make sure she signs it before I go.

Did you see what happen yesterday? Elena almost fell over.

She was just tired. She's fine.

I'll go and check the papers.

-Good morning. -Good morning.

New York cap drivers may be facing a strike as negotiations...

between union officials and techni companies enter the third days talk.

Union officials have been requesting higher wages...

Mr. Marczewski is waiting for you at the cafe around the corner.

Okay, at the café... Thank you.

New Jersey transit authority will be stopping all night traffic...

through the Hong tunnel beginning this Monday as renovations...

begin to prepare the ageing throughway.

The 500 million dollar project is expected to continue for one year.

Event organizers are being investigated...

Weather is fine, though scattered showers are expected in New Jersey.

Manhattan's body count this morning topped 21 4...

including Union Official Robby Jones who was just one week...

short of his 46th birthday, survived by wife and 3 children. His wife...

Just a moment.

asks for his gold wedding ring, which has great sentimental value.

Coming up after the break Celebrity Challenge hosted by our very own...

I miss them so much...

My Father, Josef...

You are not supposed to be here.

I want to kill you.

You go away!

Go away!

My clothes...

John... Wait.

Good morning, beautiful.

Did you sleep well?

That was a wonderful evening.

You were great.

I'm tired of those limos. They never get here on time.

-No, no, they're here now. -Oh, okay, lets go.

Did I forget something?

Elena, there's a press conference, remember? Let's go to Metropolitan.

-Oh, good, you're here. -Yes, morning.

I was waiting at the café. Didn't you get the message?

Oh, I did... I did, yes.

Why do you have your bag, honey?

-What? -We'll be back this afternoon.

It just has some of John's things.

Just wait in the car and we'll be there in a minute.

Elena, what's going on?

We can't talk here. We have to go somewhere.

I can't, I'm leaving for the airport...

Elena, are you ready?

Yeah, just give me a moment, Arthur, thank you.

Please, please...

I can explain later. Okay?

I'm in a lot of trouble.

You have to help me.

It's important. Please just trust me.

-Can you please pull over here? -Sure.

-Thanks. What's your name? -My name is Pete.

There's a cigarette stand there. Can you buy me some cigarettes?

Off course Mr. Marczewski.

All right. Thank you, Sir.

I want to ask if you could stay here a few more days maybe.

We don't have to be together or anything. You can lie on the sofa.

I just want you to be here. I don't have anyone to help me.

Have you been running back and forth to the bathroom?

Do I see something in your eyes again?

I'm not taking anything.

I sleep all the time when you're not here, John.

Sometimes 1 7 hours a day.

I don't see anybody, John. The days just pass by. You know...

Training home sleep...

Training.

I don't want to live anymore.

You don't want to live anymore?

Yes, but...

only together with you.

No, Elena it won't be together with me.

-You know that. -Yes. I know that.

We've tried this before.

This life that you lived, that you wanted to live...

nearly killed us both.

Our calendars were written in different languages...

we didn't even sleep together anymore. I'm sorry.

You know, I had a drink with David after the show yesterday.

I know there's an agreement that you should go live in Moscow...

-that you'll disappear for a while. -What? What agreement?

He told me the plan about you going to Moscow...

for six months and then home to Poland afterwards.

John, I haven't heard anything about such an agreement...

or about Moscow.

I think that's good. I think you need some peace a quiet, Elena.

What...?

There are things that they don't tell me, John.

Things are really not as they should be anymore.

Why would he lie to me?

You don't understand. It's not so simple.

They'd be left with nothing. I'm their whole business.

No, no they have other plans, listen...

-Tell me... -You'd better get out now...

You can walk back to the hotel and get your bags.

I don't want to mix you up in all this, John.

Please, please calm down... I'm not getting out of anything.

You just have to tell me who...

Sorry, it took so long. There was a line.

-That's okay, Steve, thanks. -Pete.

Can you do me a favour? Could you go into another car?

There's some stuff we have to talk about.

My name's Pete. No problem, Mr. Marczewski.

Thanks.

Can you please turn right here?

Aren't we suppose to go to the Met, Sir?

Yes, but can you please just go right here...

Car no 2 - what's going on?

Yes, and just drive straight down towards to Park Avenue please.

-Please don't answer the radio. -Of course, Sir.

Car no 2 - come in please.

Yeah?

Do you have a telephone?

Yes, in the two glass partitions down there.

-089... -0851 ...

Betsy... Hi, it's me, John.

-How are you? -I'm fine thanks and you.

I was looking for Michael.

Elena feels that there's a misunderstanding, not sure what.

I thought Michael would know something.

-Betsy, what is it? -Mr. Morrison is here.

Morrison? Who is this Mr. Morrison?

Get out of here. Take Elena with you. Run.

The report, I told you I'm writing on the state of the world...

I think it's going to be fantastic.

I mean, the disorder of the world can be beautiful.

I got no more money left...

a couple of dollars in my pocket maybe and I'm on my way to Jakarta.

It's a big world, it's wonderfully quiet here on the plane.

I feel fantastic.

How is it going in New York? Maybe it's time for you to come home.

You and Elena.

-Where are we going? -I don't know.

There is so much love in the world, John, so much love.

And there is death.

Maybe mostly death at the moment. People are dying in the streets...

because they miss each other, miss love, miss closeness.

I'm forgetting something.

I have a note about you.

It says ''the lovers met''...

''the lovers met, and...''

and I can't read my own note.

I make a note and I can't read it. It's an important note. An old one.

The disorder of the world...

You and Elena.

It's all connected some how, it's all connected.

We are in Brooklyn, right?

Hey come on. Is this Brooklyn?

Of course! It's called Brooklyn.

We need a room a couple of hours to make phone calls, then we'll leave.

Does this look a whorehouse?

Does she look like a whore?

No absolutely not, I'm sorry, you're a beautiful lady.

Have I seen you somewhere before?

Impossible. She's from Poland.

Dos vidania.

-2 dollars deposit for the fridge. -Asshole.

Okay, take it easy.

No, Michael, no, you have to come meet us. Yes, we'll be waiting.

How do I get there?

It's the JMC-line across the Williamsburg Bridge...

-The Williamsburg, okay? -Yes, okay...

It's a small brown shitty hotel... Michael?

Michael, are you there? I can't hear you.

I have to call someone in Calgary, they must be going crazy.

Come in here.

It's snowing!

Yes, it's snowing.

Come on, let's go.

It's really snowing.

I cant believe it's July...

Brenda! Bring down the camera.

Have you seen that it's snowing?

Yeah, I can't believe it.

But it's beautiful.

You can't even throw it.

I can throw.

Careful... No... Right here...

Are you okay?

You cheated. You Iying bastard.

John look at that...

it's me.

Daddy! Come on!

Lift me up!

Mrs. Marczutski... Mr. Marczutski...

You have to come with me. There is a visit for you.

Michael... Is it Michael?

Si... Michael, I don't know...

Mister, you have to come with me.

-There's a mister in the reception. -Let him sleep. I'll come with you.

You're sweet... What's your name?

Eh, watch the steps, Sir. No...

-You don't have a name? -No, no name... No no...

Arthur?

Is that you?

John!

I want you to write this down.

Tell Mr. Marczewski, that's the man up there, that... Here...

That David would like to see at the hotel, first thing in the morning.

-Marczewski... Hotel. -Yeah...

He'll be waiting for him in the lobby.

Help! Help!

Help... John!

-What the hell? That's my watch. -Oh, I thought you were dead.

Dead? I'm not dead, I was just sleeping. Get out of here!

Michael! Michael, what happened? Where is David?

Forget David, he's not coming.

John, what the fuck are you doing?

They followed you all the way.

How can you be so stupid?

Stupid!

We have to find Elena. Where...

John, please don't go up there.

Things aren't what they seem anymore.

You don't know anything.

Just calm...

John! Don't go up there!

-Michael, do you have the key? -No.

If you go in there, you'll get into something you really shouldn't.

What shouldn't I get into?

Forget about Elena, she's not good for you any longer.

Come on... It's okay.

Just give me the key. Please.

They are destroying her, John.

Can you help her?

Here you can have the key...

but it wasn't me who let you in.

Things are going really well for me now, John.

And what about you, Michael...

are they destroying you?

You' re coming home with us.

We are taking you home, okay?

You don't have to stay here, do you?

We are a family, we take care of each other, okay?

Come here...

Now tell me, what's on the other side of that door?

It's okay...

Come on, we'll go together.

You killed her...

You killed her!

Put the knife down.

Get away form me... go away!

Put the fucking knife down!

-Go! -Put it down.

Go away!

Come back here.

Go away... Go away.

We want to go home...

They put something inside of me.

It's no fun.

We're very sweet. We don't want to die.

You killed her!

-John, they're crazy, you hear me? -Go away!

They don't know what they're talking about. That's not Elena.

We don't know who are you?

Don't worry about it...

Shut up, shut up, shut the fuck up.

See?

It isn't her.

They don't know anything.

What was the name of Elena's dog in Poland?

What was your dog's name?

You see, John, they know nothing. It's okay, just calm down...

You get in there... You go on... Get in there...

It's okay, John come on...

Listen to this.

Elena will stop skating. These girls will replace her.

They buy them in Europe and fuck their brains up with chemicals.

It's simply business.

-It takes some time to get used to. -I just have to find Elena.

-Stay on the sidewalk. -It's okay come on.

We just have to find somewhere for you to lie down. Are you okay?

What?

-Look at that, he's dead. -No, he's not dead. Go away.

It wont be long, they usually die when they lie like that.

I've seen it a hundred times at school.

He's only fainted. Move your foot.

Move your foot, or I will kill you.

Lets go, Jacob.

He is dying, mom. I can see it in his eyes.

John... It's okay.

...gravity is a rare natural occurrence...

The world is becoming a colder place...

Look, it's snowing.

It's strange, that it's snowing in the summer.

What's she saying? Giulio come over here.

I have never seen anything like this. Take a look.

Good morning, Mr. Marczewski. Or should I say good afternoon?

Hi, John, how are you doing?

We've arranged a dinner, John. A farewell dinner.

You're leaving us and we won't be seeing you any more.

We're sorry about that.

We like you.

Arthur...

Come on, sit down.

I think it's time we had a chat.

Time we told you some of our family secrets...

You have to sign here...

and here.

Now, I don't know what you think about me, you two.

What is this rumour that I want to eliminate Elena?

Where did that come from?

No, John...

I have bigger plans than that.

Can I get something to drink?

Of course, give him something to drink.

And Elena, come on, say hi to John. This isn't a funeral.

Everyone else, get your self something to drink as well.

John, we're a family that is very dependent on Elena's cooperation.

I also consider you to be a member of our family.

What I am about to tell you demands 100% loyalty.

As you're aware, Elena's expressed a wish to retire for some time now.

Elena has had some problems, which she can tell you about herself.

She's asked to be released from her duties.

So naturally...

I'm disappointed when you two start acting like little children.

You know running away and all that.

And I can't allow that to happen again.

I didn't come here to compete with you.

I just wanted to tell you a couple of things.

You've already met the other Elenas...

or whatever the hell you want to call them.

They're being trained now.

Soon, they'll be ready to replace Elena, so that she...

so that both of you can quit.

Now it's natural that you two would have to disappear for a while.

Change names, countries, identity's and all that stuff.

Arthur can you explain?

On Friday you will sail via Rotterdam to Saint Petersburg.

There you will meet a Mr.Vladimir Kuluschin.

He will take you till the airport from where you will fly to Moskow.

Now in Moscow you'll live in the Charamusk district, it's beautiful.

The University is there. It's the best part of town.

Look here is a beautiful bakery on the corner.

John, I want us to part friends.

You both mean a lot to me.

You will be missed around here.

I just have one last question for you, David.

Who is Mr. Morrison?

He's another friend of mine, why?

No reason... Let's eat.

Yeah, let's eat.

Why didn't you tell me about these girls, this whole sick...

It's sick yes...

they forced me into it.

I wanted to protect you.

I wanted to keep you out of all this.

Now you are marked.

Now you know they exist.

We're in it together now, John.

I know.

We need to get out of here.

Let me see your arms.

Please. Stop it, stop it... It will go away again.

I just need to sleep and it will go away again.

I just need to sleep.

I want to get married.

We already are married, for Christ's sake.

Then I want to get married again...

I want to be a white bride.

You've always wanted that.

You remember that?

Yes.

I always did want to be a white bride.

You're so sweet.

We'll get out of here. I promise.

Yes, we'll make it.

Michael, we have to get out of here.

We'll leave tomorrow...Thursday.

Tomorrow Elena will go over to the ice rink to rehearse as usual.

Then we leave. We'll go up north.

It's as simple as that.

Betsy already has the tickets. Betsy's on our side.

-But they'll do it now. -No, no, no.

They wouldn't do that.

Because they need information...

You'll see. We're all going to sit down...

and in a while they'll start asking questions, about back home.

All the things about Elena's past that they can't find out anywhere.

Listen to me.

You're both suppose to leave this world on Friday, you know?

Be killed, that's the plan.

Are you Mr. Marczewski?

-Yes, I'm John Marczewski. -Mr. Marczewski...

David asked me to have a few words with you.

-Who are you? -My name is Morrison.

-Would you like to come in? -No, thank you.

I just want to reassure you...

David thinks you are under the impression I wish to harm you.

Mr. Morrison...

Our power of judgement is a bit off at the moment.

We don't know what is summer and what is winter...

I understand completely, Mr. Marczewski.

My wife cries all the time, about all of these...

cosmic disturbances, I suppose you could call them.

The Ugandans, the snow... the ice age.

It gets under people's skin.

And into their hearts unfortunately.

I don't quite follow you...

Mr. Marczewski...

the chaos in the world is reflected in the souls of the human beings.

It's snowing in July, people's hearts stop.

It's simple Mr. Marczewski.

Especially for an educated man like yourself.

PhD. Polish literature. My congratulations.

Thank you.

Oh, these are for you. From my wife as well.

We're great admires of Mrs. Marczewski, watch her on TV.

Please give her my regards.

Good evening, Mr. Marczewski.

John, are you okay?

Michael, I just met the man, for Christ's sake. Mr. Morrison.

He just came to the door.

He's no problem now.

You're leaving tomorrow. Just behave normally.

-Good evening. -Good evening.

Mr. Marczewski, I would like to introduce to you...

Yes, it's Elena, but her real name is Milica.

John Marczewski. Nice to meet you.

She'd like to apologize for her behaviour earlier...

-but she was very frightened. -I'm sorry to hear that.

Milica had a boyfriend herself.

He looked a bit like you...

Welcome, Elena.

All these young girls have been looking forward to meeting you.

She says that Michael, isn't as sweet as you are...

and that you are much more beautiful.

She says, that she's dreamt about you...

She wanted to speak to you before but didn't dare.

The one you met in the hallway is gone now.

Zarbili...

It's dangerous to go out alone.

There are a few questions about your childhood...

which would be very interesting if you could tell us about...

before you leave.

There are some things we couldn't research, you know.

What would you like to know?

You had a dog you loved very much.

We don't know the name of the dog.

My dog's name was Igor.

Igor...

Bad dog... He drank beer.

There is some dispute about about where you two met.

It was on the lake. In the winter.

And you lived at the children's hospital in Wiezyca, right?

And you knew Michael from the streets?

Yes, and he introduced us down at the lake.

I have the impression that you met at young age.

You had a good life in Poland. And your father beat you...

Maybe we can continue this another time, please.

There's just one more question, Mr. Marczewski.

They got a noticeable desire to come and skate with you.

If it's okay? Is this something you would like to be a part in?

Yes, of course...

Isn't it, John?

John... I can't...

I don't...

feel...

very well.

-Can I touch you? -I look very like you.

I am your sister.

We are the same... Look at me.

-Can I smell you? -Oh you're so beautiful.

Your skin is so soft.

-I am your sister. -We are the same.

We are the same... Look at me.

No! Get away! Get away!

You...

Welcome to the world at zero. Into a minute before the freeze.

I'd just like to remind you of the usual safety precautions.

Remember the fresh water freeze, is a global phenomenon...

so don't stay lounging in the pool like those children in Delhi.

Ad antifreeze to your lavatories...

remove water sources from pets, empty your glasses.

We say this every year, but there are always people who forget.

As we all know today is the day when all fresh water freezes to ice.

This year it will be approximately a two minute freeze...

so remember to wrap up warm and stay indoors.

John, look...

Fred! It's snowing.

Come on, hurry, get up! Wake up it's snowing.

It's July and it snows. No question, it's overwhelming. Come on!

God, it's cold.

Ugandan Foreign Minister Kabaka Okello requested...

international assistance to aid Uganda's agricultural sector.

In a meeting with United Nations General Secretary Javier Magana...

Okello reported an estimated loss of 40 million dollars...

due to the extreme low temperatures that Uganda has faced.

Last week, temperatures...

Betsy's coming now... Elena, let's go.

-We're going to the arena first? -Yes.

Remember to take some warm clothes.

-Shall we go? -Yes.

Betsy... Hi.

How are you, Elena? I'll go down stairs to see you in a minute.

Here...

Tickets, itinerary etc...

A picture of my uncle.

It's a sweet little house you're going to be living in.

It's been fantastic knowing you.

Now you're finally going back home.

Take care of yourself. Watch your heart.

My heart? What do you mean watch my heart?

Come here.

-They haven't told you? -No.

You have a problem with your heart.

But don't worry about it. So many people have these days.

That's why you sleep so much.

No, Betsy, nobody told me that.

That's why they want to kill me.

I'm of no use anymore.

-Are you okay? -Yeah.

-Hey, there you are. -Well, of course we're here.

I'll just go change, okay?

-Is everything okay? -Everything is fine.

Michael, it's pitch dark in here. Can we have some light?

Okay, wait a minute.

Good morning, Mr. Marczewski.

Yes, sorry, I'd forgotten. It's nice to see you again.

You are more beautiful than yesterday.

You were beautiful yesterday, too...

I tell you yesterday, but...

I miss men.

I'm sorry about English.

No, it's okay.

Elena is only downstairs changing, but she will be coming up soon.

Look at this! Woouups and then backwards.

My god. Really nice.

-No I didn't do it like that. -Look at that, graceful.

I can get into a lot of trouble for this.

They are not allowed here.

They are not allowed to exist.

Oh there she is.

Thank God, she came.

We're right here!

Where is everybody, shouldn't we be practicing?

No, only us in here, it will be so nice.

Yes. We start now.

Yes, we have wanted this for a long time now.

We've dreamed about this.

Okay. I assume you all know ''Furtiva Lagrima''?

Of course.

Yeah, let's go.

One... Two... Three...

Four Elenas...

I mean...

They are not real four Elenas, but...

the other three are...

but, yes, they are Elenas.

Elena... Oh God, no... Please stop...

Stop it...

Please, help me...

Please stop... Stop it, please!

Sorry.

We just wanted to practice.

We didn't mean any harm.

What the hell is this?

What are they doing here?

You fucked it all up.

God, they're everywhere...

You're a bunch of fucking amateurs.

It says here:

young woman, blond, 5,6...

rose-coloured skating dress...

white skates...

that's what is says.

You look so much like her.

You could have given so much joy.

Hey, John.

I got a free ride and I can see the whole world from here.

You're close together...

I can see that even from this distance.

It's okay... It's me... It's me, it's Michael.

John, I would love to be with you.

You would give me a cigarette.

We would smoke together, me my little brother and his love.

We should have stayed together as a family.

Instead you are there... and I am here.

It's wrong everybody is away from each other, occupied...

occupied with their own shit.

Forgetting about each other.

We should have stayed together by the lake back home.

I will never forget the lake.

You kissed her.

And now... It's freezing all over the world.

But you must live.

You must survive both of you.

So kiss her John, save her.

You belong together, you and Elena.

The world is a good place, John.

Look at it. It is a good place.

Oh, gosh... You are so slow. Would you hurry up?

Michael, your phone...

Oh, how is that going to make me move faster.

It's John...

Wojciech... It's your dad.

What? The machine woke you up?

Yes, I know it's Holy Madonna's Day...

-Tell him we miss him. -I am sure you have a mistress...

I'm in the middle of nowhere with your 2 children and we need help.

What? Please, say hello for me.

Wojciech, my batterie are running out, so I have to be fast.

It's all here in Michael's calendar.

Do me a favour, can you please take care of the plane tickets?

Yes... If you speak to Tomash, he'll...

No, we got of the train.

Yes, at some small place called Windigo...

it was a shitty little platform in the middle of nowhere...

No, Betsy's uncle didn't show up, the roads are closed.

No, it's okay, actually this is a shortcut.

There should be an airport in a place called Port Nelson.

Yeah, it's almost 19 miles away.

Yes, I've got scratch on my hand...

Wojciech, what date was it yesterday?

The date, what was the date?

The 31st...

I'm still here, but I have to...

Wojciech... My battery.

What should we do about this?

It's your calendar.

I don't know...

Don't know...

Look at me...

It was supposed to be my turn, right, John?

Because it's always been John and Elena... Elena and John...

What about me?

I'm getting older.

I have to be somebody.

You saw how they treated me...

like a dog.

I'm not a dog.

I won't be a dog anymore.

They offered me a new life.

Besides, they said, it was me or both of you.

That's what they told me, John.

Please, don't tell her.

Elena... We've agreed, that Michael will go back...

to get help. It's further than we thought and we don't want...

to get lost. Right, Michael?

Yes, yes, it's best that way. I'll go and get help.

-Is anything wrong? -No, no...

It's just, that it's so cold and we don't want to get lost.

And it's best if Michael goes back, okay?

So say goodbye to your brother.

-Are you going to be okay? -I'll be fine.

Thank you, John.

Let's go.

...support for Uganda's emergency aid application to the World Bank.

Over 30.000 froze to death in the last month.

Graceful.

Come, show me graceful... Very graceful. Indeed.

Remember this - and spinning - so good.

Very daring, very bold...

Are you okay.

I think so...

Can we please have some music?

Not good...

Elena, let's go.

Come on.

It's okay...

Okay.

Elena... Just come up.

Elena... Don't sleep.

You can't sleep, it's too cold...

Look, it's not so far, there's something...

There's some houses or some light. I think I can see something...

We have to go... Okay? You have to wake up.

John...

I have to lie down now, okay?

Please...

I can't walk anymore, John.

And you know that, don't you?

It's my heart.

Yes, it's your heart.

I came back to late.

If you don't stay together...

you end up collapsing, like me.

But, I'm so glad that you came back, John.

I missed you so much.

I got to be a white bride after all.

Yes...

I love you.

I love you too.

What?

What's happening?

I am here...

I'm with you...

I'm with you...

John, you're probably out there somewhere in the snow.

Both of you.

It's like the old days...

As for me, it's incredible.

I'm going to end my days in row 21 .

I can't think of a better place to die.

It's snowing all over the world, so we can't land.

And your big brother is a little bit frightened.

But I did finish my report on the state of the world.

I wrote:

They made it...

About you, about love.

What can I say? It's all about love.

And that's the way it should be.

John, are you there?

You're probably out there somewhere.

Sleeping...

Sleep well, John.
