I wish from my chest to take

The longing heart, therethrough,

To place it in your chest instead,

So you can feel as I do too.

Vengeful Wish, Carol Scrob

Last night you got a kerchief

Now I see you without it

He who'll give you a kerchief

May he unweave just like it.

Last night you got earrings

Now I see you without them

He who'll give you earrings

May he hang just like them.

Last night you got beads

Now I see you without them

He who'll give you beads

Weekends aren't enough.

You've already signed the divorce papers.

Nobody needs to know.

Just be grateful you get to see her.

Come over to the boys store!

Dear parents, we hope you've enjoyed yourselves tonight

and I want to congratulate both you and the pupils.

It gives me great pleasure to hand these awards

to the pupils who have had exceptional results.

Mention - George Predoiu.

Third prize -

Maya...

Third prize? Not bad, you know.

Mhm.

At least I'm glad for Maya.

By acting like a clown?

By acting like a proud dad who supports his daughter.

Not acting. Being a proud dad.

By the way.

Now that it's summer break, I want to see her more often.

Maya will visit you on weekends, just as we settled in court.

Anca!

Take a seat, please.

Please.

Maybe I can convince you another way.

Anca.

Anca!

What are you gonna do?

Do you wanna hit me?

No. I want to talk, stop it.

David, we're divorced! There's nothing to talk about.

If you don't agree seeing Maya on the weekends, then I'll see you in court.

David. Wake up.

Come out from the quilt.

Do you want me to reach the top?

Breakfast is ready.

David is watching.

Come to the bedroom.

Hey!

Stop it.

Come get some breakfast.

Come on.

You don't even know how to ask nicely.

You don't even know how to suck dick.

It says here that you agree with your daughter's visitation times

from Friday to Sunday.

Three days out of seven.

Uhm...

David.

Is this your signature?

Your honour, my client wishes to modify the terms

put through together with the minor's mother,

so that the minor's visitation programme be prolonged.

Also, he objects the current contract because he wants

to be able to see his daughter as often as he wishes during summer break.

On what basis does his ex-wife deny him the right to see his daughter?

From this attached letter, the accuser isn't capable

of raising his daughter because, and I quote:

"David shows signs that he has behavioral issues

including a raised temper, bipolarity and periodical manifestations of depression."

With all due respect, your honour, but the defendant isn't a psychiatrist.

The attached letter isn't relevant.

Defendant?

Defendant?

Your honour, my client requests the approval of a psychiatric evaluation on the accuser.

She'll negotiate the custody terms, if you go to a psychiatrist.

Hm.

Do you oppose?

Yes.

No.

We don't oppose, your honour.

Well, then the sentence will be postponed while we await the results

of the psychiatric expertise done on the accuser.

This meeting is adjourned for 15 minutes.

Fag break.

So? Is this good?

Depends if it's true what your ex says about you.

My ex would say anything about me.

She would even call me a pedophile just to keep me away from my daughter.

Then you have nothing to worry about.

Sit down.

I really like your style.

It gives you an artistic look.

Thank you!

Maybe cause of the hair.

I don't think I can imagine you with short hair.

Neither can mom.

Why?

She always wanted a daughter.

At least now, she has a granddaughter.

It says here that you're an architect.

Correct.

Do you feel accomplished with what you do?

Yes.

I can say that it offers a lot of satisfaction.

Uhm.

Over the years I have built a lot of houses.

But also friendships.

Well said.

Why do you think your ex-wife is concerned that you might suffer from such serious ilnesses?

Because she would say anything to keep me away from my daughter.

I understand.

Even say that I'm a pedophile.

She accused you of being a pedophile?

Oh, no.

No.

Uhm. I was talking to my lawyer and...

...no, no.

Yep.

Do you love your daughter?

Yes.

Do you think you are showing your love in a natural manner?

What does 'natural' mean?

Let's say you had a bad day with a few problems.

Something unrelated to Maya.

And then, when your daughter shows up, she brings you a good grade from school.

How would you react?

I'd congratulate her.

I'd hug her.

I'd kiss her.

Keep in mind that up until then you had a bad day and your problems haven't been solved.

Isn't that natural?

How's your relationship with your father?

My dad died.

I'm sorry.

I wanted to get to another question, but...

I thought that...

I'm kidding, I'm kidding. No.

No, he hasn't died. I was kidding.

Good to order?

Yes?

Oh, salutations.

I respectfully salute you.

Sure.

Unfortunately, I will be very busy for a while.

Family issues, yes.

Aha.

We'll cancel the project.

So what if you're the client?

I'm an architect, yes.

Find yourself another architect, yes.

Farewell.

Can I get you anything?

Yes. Sorry, I was on the phone.

Uhm.

Bring me a cold beer, please.

You've got three seconds.

Beer.

Thank you!

Hi!

My love.

Maya?

Bye.

Are you not having a beer?

I'm driving.

Precisely.

Why did we walk all the way home?

Why? Cause your mom took the car, that's why.

"Thank you, daddy!"

Thanks.

You're welcome.

Are we going out again?

Where do you wanna go in this heat?

I need to bring you back to your mom in one piece.

So what are we gonna do?

Uhm.

Well.

We could...

play...

hide and seek.

In the house?

In the house, yes.

Go ahead and hide and I'll count.

Regarding the complaint Dear Sir

the psychiatric results...

current contract terms...

will stay unchanged.

One.

Two.

Three.

David!

Go back to your room.

You have 5 seconds to go back to your room.

Wait.

Bring me a beer.

You've got 3 seconds.

I'm sorry.

In the nighttime, we watch what daddy wants.

I'm kidding, you're too young.

Do you mind?

David!

Cover your eyes!

Are you an idiot?

How can you let the child watch porn?

What was going through your dumb head?

I love you, too.

For f- I wanna just-

Seventeen.

Eighteen.

Nineteen.

Twenty.

Here I come, ready or not.

Shit.

Not fair.

Fair would be to keep you there til you learn how to speak.

Where are you going?

Mom's at the door.

Hi.

Hi.

What are you doing?

I came to bring Maya clothes and warm food.

It's 35 degrees outside.

My love?

Could you take this inside, please?

I'm building muscles.

And a hernia. Careful, please.

I promise.

Why did you actually come?

I'll be gone for a few days

and I had to make sure that our daughter has everything she needs.

Such as soup in a jar?

Just make sure she brushes her teeth and does her homework, alright?

She's got plenty of time for homework.

Really?

You brought your new partner?

Jaakob is helping me with the last bits before I go.

I'm glad.

I'm glad you've found a partner who can carry you around.

David, could you stop being so sarcastic?

I came here to do a good deed and see how you are.

[In English] One second!

As if you just spoke in English with that fucker.

It's the first time in a long while when I feel happy with somebody.

Maybe it's time you move on and find somebody else.

Keep in mind that Maya is growing up and-

Maya?

Maya is in good hands.

I've been raising her-

Keep in mind that Maya is learning from us.

And especially from you, her dad.

You should be next to her not only-

Interrupt me again,

and I'll grab your biker by the balls and shove them down your throat.

Hey!

How did it go?

Better than I expected.

Oh, no.

My gosh.

My, oh my.

He's fighting?

With pillows?

Plays in movies?

Dwayne Johnson?

Who?

The Rock and no talking.

Is he even American?

A racist Romanian?

Either way, you're too young to know him.

Bruce Lee?

Who?

Bruce Lee.

Fist bump, fist bump.

Super.

The ice cream's on me.

It's your phone.

No.

Is it?

My butt's numb.

Yes.

Hello!

Oh!

Hi, Andy!

Ok.

Uhm.

I'm with my daughter now. Do you think it's possible to meet me next week, maybe?

Yes.

Splendid.

Ok, thank you Andy!

Bye, bye, now. Bye.

Did you fall asleep?

I'm not sleeping. I'm miming Sleeping Beauty.

Let's go.

Where are we going?

We're heading downtown.

Come on.

I went in your room today.

I know it's a mess.

Besides that. I was thinking of a summer project.

What project?

You know that collage we made last year?

That tree I have on my bedroom wall?

Exactly.

Don't know it.

Well then, no tree house for you.

Come on, let's walk quicker.

The tree house is the project?

Yes!

And mom?

Mom is too busy with work and metrosexual men.

Let's put the plan on paper tonight, alright?

What?

Are you hungry?

Not really.

What do you wanna eat?

It's too hot to eat.

So it's hot, so that's a clue.

Which means you want something cold, so ice cream.

My days. I'm surprised you still have teeth from eating so many sweets.

[imitates French]

What will it be?

Mhm.

Uhm.

Could I please have three with vanilla?

Hey.

Hi.

Two Bisco Disco ice creams, please.

In a rush?

Why?

Sorry.

We were here before you, that's all.

Sorry, sorry.

That's all I'm saying.

Can we order in the meantime?

Ok.

Two Bisco Disco ice creams, please.

Can I try yours?

Thanks!

My pleasure.

Bye.

Hand me a napkin, please.

Another napkin, please.

Eat the cone. Come on.

Thank you for coming over so quickly.

How are you doing?

I'm good. Just keeping busy with this little one.

Mhm. She's not so little.

Maya, how old are you?

She's not feeling all that well today.

Probably because of the heat.

Well, I hope everything else is fine.

I was really sorry when I heard about your divorce.

Well, yeah. What can you do about it?

At least we get to spend more time together, right?

That's one of the reasons I called you over for this talk.

There's someone else who is also affected by this divorce.

Oh.

You don't have to worry about a thing, doctor.

Maya is in good hands.

Whether she is with me, or with her mom.

We might have been separated but-

David.

I'm not talking about Maya.

So what does my dad have to do with the divorce?

Look at me.

Grampa!

Maya? Can I take your father away for a minute?

Okay.

Whare is all the money?

That's what I was just about to ask you.

We haven't received a payment this month and we were worried.

OK.

That's your bank account?

Well...

It is, yeah. Mine and my ex's.

There you have it.

Until you sort it out, we cannot keep your father here.

I gave you the car, woman.

The car doesn't cost as much as the house.

So you had to compensate with money.

And that's why you took all the money, right?

All of it.

That was our money, okay?

So when you decided that you want a divorce, I had to move somewhere else.

I need that money to keep my dad in the care home.

Do you understand?

Take him home.

How the fuck-?

How the fuck can I take him home?

Hello?

Hel-

Look, it's not the end of the world.

We can change the bank account numbers over to yours, and then everything will go back to normal.

Without that money, I can't afford to keep my dad here.

Then your only option is either to take him somewhere else...

or home.

I don't have that kind of money, Andy.

Don't have it.

Can you help me out?

You have to keep in mind that we're a business here

and we can't keep people here who cannot afford to pay to stay.

Right.

If it's all about the money, then why are you still in Romania?

Well.

Let's say I'm a fan of great wine.

And it's cheaper than the French.

Yeah, that's it, guys. Just a little bit closer.

[In Romanian] Come on, man. We're Romanian.

Got it, guys.

What soup?

I promise.

Did you arrive?

Yes, I'm waiting for departure info.

What's your dad doing?

He's outside, moving grampa inside.

That quick?

He's helped by two others.

Maya, my love, let me tell you something.

Your dad will be very busy with grampa, so I want you

to tell me if you don't like staying with him

and I will ask Jaakob to come and pick you up.

He will take care of you until I get back

and then we can enjoy summer together, okay my love?

It's fine, I like taking care of grampa.

Plus, I want to help dad with the tree house.

What?

- Do you need anything else? - We can handle it.

Does he need...

Ok.

Does it stretch? Or?

No, no, it stays like that.

Okay, super.

One moment.

Yes, hello?

What's Maya telling me about a tree house?

No clue what you're talking about.

You're not building any tree house, got it?

Calm down. I'm building it, not Maya.

David, you're not putting my daughter in any tree house. Let that be clear.

I'm a bit caught up. How about you talk to your father-in-law?

David?

David?

Incredible.

I can't believe it. He needs a tree house!

Saw that? Done with that circus.

Come on, let's go, boys. Easy does it.

Good, that's it.

Perfect.

You know we have to communicate somehow.

If you blink once, it means yes.

If you blink twice, it means no.

Do you understand?

Are we having a staring contest?

This is precisely what you like.

Enjoy the cardio.

What?

Oh, nothing.

Just admiring my daughter.

What's grampa doing?

He's...

Thinking.

How many rooms should it have?

One.

One?

Just one?

And what about me?

You can stay outside.

I can stay outside.

So, I can stay outside, huh?

I'll remember that.

Uh, oh.

What happened? I leave you alone for 5 minutes and you start headbanging.

Good job, grey-head.

What?

No, no, no, no.

I'm sorry, you know that.

It's OK.

I have internet.

Yes, but.

It's not normal to watch such things.

I don't watch, but I know what they were doing.

I hope your grampa's snoring isn't gonna keep you up.

I can't hear it from here.

Okay.

Good night, Maya.

Good night, daddy.

David.

Close the window.

Before I fuck that dog.

For fuck's sake.

What are you doing?

Grocery shopping, what do you mean?

And what should you be doing?

I don't understand.

Quiet!

Pardon.

Oopsie.

Are you an idiot?

And you?

Why don't you say anything to your mom, you mute?

Hey!

I'm talking to you.

Clean up.

Quietly!

Maya, what did I teach you?

But I did knock.

I didn't hear it.

Sorry.

Morning, gray-head!

Well, it's not that hard now, huh?

Does it tickle?

Maya.

Maya, daddy asks that you leave us boys to clean ourselves.

Can I help?

No.

Maya?

Daddy is busy wipping your grampa's butt, alright? Please, leave us.

Maya, what're doing? Please.

Maya, leave the bin.

Maya!

What are you doing?

I-

Quiet!

Saw that?

Because of you.

But rest assured. I'm not gonna turn out like you.

Get dressed.

We're going shopping.

I'm sorry I yelled at you, you know that.

But you need to listen to daddy when he tells you to leave him alone, okay?

You'll get over it.

I can't find any rope.

Uhm.

Could you go on the right aisle and I'll take the left one?

Careful not to slip on those tears, alright?

Found it, Maya!

David!

David!

Stop kicking that ball and come inside!

Fucking cunt kid.

What did I tell you?

Fucking cunt ball, now and forever!

Fucking cunt ball!

David!

Go inside the house.

I said go inside the house.

Dear Praktiker customers, we would like to remind you of our promotional offer on all kitchen appliances.

Maya!

Maya!

Excuse me.

I've lost my daughter.

Could you announce over the loudspeaker, please? Her name is Maya.

Does she have long hair?

Yes.

And brown eyes, right?

Yes.

- She's there. - Where?

This is beautiful. How amazing is that?

I thought she was with her father.

Different colour, but they are very very pretty.

Hi, David!

I'm Jaakob.

Did she call you?

No, no, no. I was just going around and picking up some stuff and, what are you guys doing?

Ah, you know, we were just about to leave now, so yeah.

Building up a tree house?

No, nothing crazy, you know. Just doing a bit of bonding with my daughter.

- A bit of bonding? - Yeah.

You need a lot more of that.

[In Romanian] Say what, cocksucker?

Just don't lose Maya again.

This tree house is gonna turn out great.

You'll thank me later.

Maya, the phone.

Hey, David. How are you doing?

Oh, hello!

Doing some shopping with Maya.

Excellent!

How is your father?

Sitting still at home.

So you decided to invest in a carer.

No, I'm going to take care of him, okay?

What, there's nobody there with him now?

He's not going anywhere. Okay, Andy?

David, you cannot leave a quadriplegic unattended.

Do you understand?

Okay, okay. We are going home anyway.

This is very serious, David.

You must go home right now and keep an eye on your dad.

He can fall, choke, vomit, suffocate.

I'll be over soon to have a look at your father and how he's doing.

Until then, do not make the mistake of leaving him alone, understood?

Bye, bye now! Bye, bye!

Brother...

Let's take him out for a walk.

Now you're talking with me, huh?

Can I play with the puppy?

Yes.

If you promise to stay away from your mom's partners.

I promise.

Okay.

Yep, grey-head.

Dr. Andy told me to always be by your side, so that we avoid any more headbanging.

One blink means yes. Two blinks means no.

Want some?

Cheers!

And don't forget that I want results, okay?

Understood.

Sure.

Thank you!

Have a nice day!

Jaakob speaking.

Hi.

Sorry I couldn't pick up earlier. I was in a meeting.

It's fine, baby.

You wouldn't believe who I met today.

Your ex.

Okay?

That's why I called you about.

The father of your daughter can't even keep an eye on her.

And what about Maya?

I found her lost in a warehouse.

What do you mean 'warehouse'?

He was buying some stuff for that tree house.

What? That's it. I'm flying back tonight.

I can't leave Maya with him. You don't know how unstable he is.

- You keep working. - No!

And it's nothing to worry about.

Listen. Do us both a favour.

You keep calm, and I'm gonna handle this, alright?

Okay, okay, okay.

Does it hurt?

Good job.

Can you believe how much Maya grew up?

How can you believe when you only just saw her yesterday for the first time?

What could I have told her about her grandfather?

That he's a burden?

Rest assured that things will improve soon.

Once Maya goes back to her mom, you'll go back to the care home.

Even if that means selling my house, understood?

What an irony.

It's the first time you hit me.

Although, you always knew how to hurt me.

Good night!

Ah, shit.

Maya?

Yes?

It's our bedtime.

Brush them well, alright?

Aren't you brushing your teeth?

I've brushed them already.

I can smell you beer breath from here.

What happened to you?

I don't wanna talk about it.

Daddy?

Yes, Maya?

Why didn't you ever take me to grampa?

If I wanted you to see a vegetable, I would've taken you to the market.

It was a joke. Why are you so tense?

You see, me and your grampa never got along the way you and I get along.

You know?

Or at least, the way I want to get along with you.

When I was little...

your grampa wasn't so quiet and well behaved.

He used to do a lot of bad things.

For example?

For example.

Pass me that plank.

I'll tell you more when you're older. Now, let's focus on the tree house, okay?

So what happened with grampa?

He drank so much that he had a stroke. That's what happened.

Ever since then, he can't talk or move.

Don't old people have strokes?

Anybody who drinks as much as your grampa will have a stroke.

What about grandma?

Pass me the spirit level, please.

Go see what grampa's doing.

Okay.

- Leave me alone. - What, what, what?

I beg you from the bottom of my soul, leave me alone.

What soul? You've got a soul now?

- Please, I beg you! - Show me your soul.

Show me your soul.

Leave me.

Show me this soul of yours.

You're waking up David.

Okay, let's argue quietly.

Let me go.

Let me go, please!

What am I doing? I haven't even touched you.

I haven't even touched you!

Now you're crying.

You'll beg me to come back home.

Fucking cunt of a cretin.

So.

So I should leave my house.

So I should leave my house, right?

In my own house. In my own house, you have stepped all over me, right?

- You fucking cunt. - Don't hit me, please.

You fucking cunt!

You fucking cunt!

David.

David!

David?

David?

David.

Come out from the quilt.

I still have my good boots on. Don't make me jump on you too.

Look at me.

I said look into my eyes.

You...

...should never get in-between mommy and daddy, alright?

Alright?

Be a good boy, stay in your room and daddy will get you everything you want.

Tell me.

What would you like the most in the whole world?

You'll tell me another time.

And daddy will get you everything you want, okay?

Good night, David.

Maya!

Daddy?

Hand me the remote.

Go in your room.

Do you understand how much I care about you?

I keep on struggling for you, so that you have everything you need.

What if I broke my neck?

Sorry.

You would've stayed by me, right?

To wipe my ass. To feed me with a straw.

Maya, look at me.

Maya!

Look at me.

We'll carry on later.

Hey, David!

Not now.

What's that noise upstairs?

Why are you here again?

Well actually, I came to talk to you, but it seems like you're too busy yelling at Maya.

Listen, you tell Anca that everything is fine here, and I will speak with her when she gets back, alright?

Can I come in?

No.

Well, I'm just gonna check on Maya and if she's fine, I'm gonna leave you alone.

Now it's not the time.

Please, just go.

Listen, David.

I'm really sorry we have to meet in these circumstances - you getting divorced...

I'm getting into Anca's life...

And now, I have to even check on a girl who's not even my daughter.

Then why are you still here?

Because Anca feels sorry for you.

Really?

Yeah.

And to be honest, I feel sorry for your daughter.

Yeah. Would you like to step inside, please?

[In Romanian] That's the last step you'll take in my house.

Pack your bags.

Your mom is gonna come pick you up.

I thought I could be different.

I tried.

I broke up with Anca.

I've had a fight with Maya.

I've been left with you.

What more could I have wanted in the whole world?

By the way...

Do you remember what you've told me when I was little?

Hey!

Come upstairs.

Come one, move it.

Come upstairs.

Hello?

Are you coming already?

Can you not hear?

Come on!

Come breastfeed David.

Hello? Can you hear me?

Come on already!

David?

You promised that you'll do anything for me.

Thanks for keeping your promise.

It's not hard at all.

Look, I'll push you a bit, then I'll let you go, alright?

Do you understand? Look at me.

You have to trust me and everything will be alright.

Come on!

Let's try. Let's go. Come on!

Come on, David, for fuck's sake!

Hold that handlebar!

David?

Are you okay?

Listen David.

As much as I care about you-

Look at me.

It's very hard for me to be a dad.

It doesn't have to do with you, but...

I feel like I don't have the qualities of a parent.

Let's go home.

Where have you been?

Can't you see the rain outside?

How many times should I tell you before he gets sick again?

There you go. Hold on tight to your mom.

Be right back.

Tomorrow we start again, right?

And mom?

You're not the only one who I have to apologize to.

Good night, Maya.

Good night, daddy.

Maya really grew fond of you.

She wants to build you a ramp to the tree house.

When it will be finished, obviously.

For now, she needs to learn how to hold a ladder.

Dr. Andy wrote to me as well.

He said he'll come over next week.

I told him you're showing great signs of improvement.

I even assured him that I won't leave you on your own.

Unsupervised.

Does it hurt?

Do you want me to stop?

Is there something wrong?

What?

Listen.

You raised me as well as you could...

and I had to always look for your good side...

which was almost impossible.

Anything else?

Good night, dad.

Good night, David.

Have you ever heard voices of people who weren't actually there?

Yes.

When I talk on the phone.

David.

I need you to be serious and answer sincerely.

I really wanna help you see your daughter.

Okay.

Alright.

How's your relationship with your mom?

My mom died when I was little.

I wish from my chest to take

The longing heart, therethrough,

To place it in your chest instead

So you can feel as I do too.

And I wish to make no noise

So I can lend you my voice

Just so you can say, my dear

What I also want to hear.

Just as you won't have a clue

I shall take your love and awe

And I'll do the same as you

You will cry and and I'll say no.
