-
In the spring of the, now long
gone, year of 1968.
-
it seemed to me that everyone
had the women of their lives, except me.
-
Time passed by unrelently
and I had a strong feeling that
-
soon something will happen to
me, something grand and beautiful.
-
I will fall in love.
Yes, I will fall in love.
-
I shorted my list of women and from
that shortened list I singled out her.
-
New professor of sociology,
Nevena Moreno.
-
All around her, she spread
smell of southern fruit,
-
tropical seas and
mornings after rain.
-
But most important was that,
-
she singled out me from the
crowd. She looked at me.
-
Because of her, just because of her,
-
I decided to take marxism
for my final exam topic.
-
THE ELUSIVE SUMMER OF '68
-
At first, my choice was
really surprising to my father.
-
So, marxism?
So suddenly?
-
Through the whole year C,
and now. Listen...
-
Maybe you made a mistake?
-
But you know much this means to me.
Don't change your mind by any chance.
-
No, no. That and nothing else.
-
Then, I'm proud of you.
-
Barely 18 years old and
already getting involved with
-
the greatest of world's social ideas.
-
Son, look your father right in the eyes.
-
You've made a decision that
will mean a great deal in your life.
-
I'll get somebody to help you.
-
I'll do it by myself,
I don't need anybody.
-
Just to be sure.
You listen to me.
-
We gotta make it in our life.
-
Modern society is made in that way,
-
that every opposition turns
to be useful at the end.
-
You listening to me? - I'm listening, yes.
- You don't hear a word!
-
You ought to be ashamed. And shame
is a form of revolution. - Here you are, have something sweet.
-
Is that you, Vladica?
- Here you are.
-
Dad appointed student
Cile to help me after all.
-
He insisted that we together
follow world's political events.
-
He thought that would help me
with the topic
-
that I had chosen for my exam.
-
He was dead boring to me
-
but his charms seemed to work on my sister Vladica
-
Dear viewers,
good evening.
-
In the beginning we'll review
the most important domestic and worlds events.
-
After 12 hours of demonstration
in Paris, that turned into
-
real battles between
students and the police,
-
there is nothing but deserted streets.
-
What happened and what still can
happen has beena terrifying wake up call
-
from the dream about
best of all the worlds.
-
Busted skulls and other
fractures cannot all be counted.
-
That's the battle that hasn't
been seen
-
on the Parisian ground
since the Second World War.
-
Clashes, charged with hatred,
are atrocious.
-
At that time, my father had
been preparing three months
-
ahead for the duck hunting season.
-
My younger brother Tadija,
enjoyed in his childhood.
-
You're done? He's sitting here
for a half an hour and you don't notice.
-
What is there to be noticed?
Today I'm cleaning my guns.
-
Don't bother me with some nonsense.
-
It's over! It's getting close.
- What? - Demonstrations.
-
Student Cile says...
- You hear what she's talking?
-
What Cile! -Vladica,
don't disturb your father.
-
Tadija, you're too big to
poop in the potty, son.
-
You hear me? -I do.
-So? -This way is better.
-
And why? -Someone else is
doing all instead of you-Yes mom does it .
-
Mom, like every mom, had
her hands full.
-
Get out! Begone!
-
And don't you ever come
into my house again!
-
Father threw Cile out. He considered
that he had a negative affect on us.
-
But politics didn't interested me at all.
-
Day and night I was fantasizing
about my professor of sociology,
-
Nevena Moreno.
-
I decided to punish
her cruley,
-
and not to speak a word
with her ever again.
-
Petar, what's the meaning
of Marx's concept of revolution?
-
I knew that I will
fail the exam
-
but I stayed tough and resolute.
-
Alright, tell me, who is the only one capable of accomplishing a revolution?
-
Petar!
-
Tadija, sit properly!
-
Let's have lunch!
-
Bravo, my son, bravo!
-
Just like me, passed the exam
from the first try.
-
Right on time!
-
Foundations of a healthy diet,
remember that well, are:
-
Green today, red tomorrow,
and yellow day after tomorrow.
-
As much vegetables as possible.
-
Peas, tomato, paprika,
cucumbers for every meal.
-
And he gets the goose.
-He's talking about me?
-
Son, dad eats vegetables
first and then meat.
-
He got himself a meat first!
-Give me some wine.
-
My son passed the exam of maturity
and we have to drink in that name.
-
Petar!. Take the tankard, get in
the wine cellar and you'll drink first!
-
Hurry son, we have to go to visit
grandpa in the hospital.
-
Let him have some joy.
-
Listen, Raka called
from Belgrade. - And?
-
Again about that thing.
Our moving to Belgrade.
-
We will think about it, for sure.
-
Just, every smart man
lives in a smaller place.
-
It's healthier.
- Sudents are in Belgrade.
-
That's most important.
-
And why is that most important?
-
Because they're the only ones who
could make a change, if they rose up.
-
And they will for sure.
They've had enough.
-
She means in France...
-In France, really? -In Germany.
-
And why she mentioned Belgrade?
-She didn't, I did.
-
I'm telling you about Raka. It will
be good for Perica's studies.
-
I waited for my father to find
out that I didn't pass the exam
-
and then to kill me.
-
But instead of my punishment,
in my life,
-
so suddenly,
walked in a new neighbour.
-
Good afternoon.
I am Olja Miranovski.
-
We talked over the phone
about the apartment. -Yes.
-
Can I come in? -Of course.
-Thank you.
-
Olja Miranovski.
-
Attention!
-
From now on, in our town
girl Orchestra from Czechoslovakia,
-
Every night on Lido at 19 hours.
-
Every sunday we were
going to visit grandpa,
-
who was in hospital because
of some unknown,
-
but viscious and incurable disease.
-
Grandpa.
-
Wait a minute, Perica.
-
Four queens.
-
You skinned them? -Of course!
Why do they play if they don't know how to ?
-
Perica, is that true what they
are talking about? -What?
-
That some Czech girls arrived.
What are they like? -Fine.
-
Year '22 in Brno,
jambree.
-
Those were the days.
-
Good afternoon.
-
Grandpa skinned them
all in poker. -Of course!
-
Dad, this is the hospital
after all.
-
I hardly persuaded the director
to take you in,
-
and you're acting like this!
-These are my last days,
-
and I won't deprive myself anything.
-You won't, of course.
-
Last days which have been lasting 20 years.
-
What did you bring me?
Why so little?
-
Little? Here's roasted goose,
carrot, potato. Sheep cheese.
-
Aged? -Aged. -Then hoacake,
pie and pancakes with walnuts.
-
Dad, if I ate all of this
I would die.
-
Cowards die a thousand times,
and the brave just once.
-
Where are the spices? Where's the garlic?
-Here with sour milk.
-
And salt?
-
Isn't salt strictly forbidden for you?
-
Then all of this is for nothing!
Take it!
-
Dad, please, don't!
It's forbidden. Don't!
-
Please, let me eat
and drink in peace.
-
Cheers! -Cheers!
-
Dad, Perica passed the exam.
-
Son, tell him the details.
-I know, I know.
-
The headmaster of the school already told me.
-
Congratulations, my boy!
-
Don't worry,
I failed three times.
-
What about the diet, grandpa?
-Only for tonight.
-
True. Maybe this is
your last night.
-
Good day, pleasent meal.
-Good day.
-
Dad, please hurry.
It's going to rain.
-
How did you came?
Not on the bikes? -We did.
-
You black sheep of the family!
What are you doing?
-
This is century of science,
by yourself a car.
-
If you need them, you buy them.
-
Yes!
-
When I needed them,
I bought them.
-
And not one but two.
-
You have pictures at home.
See how grandpa was driving.
-
How, when father doesn't
allow us to see your pictures.
-
Why? -There are always
two or three ladies with you.
-
Dear guests. I have the honour to present
you, our guests from Czechoslovakia!
-
Orchestra Palenky!
-
That means dolls like you can see.
-
I hope that you can understand
now why I was telling you so much
-
about my Czech semesters.
-
Whole four years!
Czech is right here!
-
There was plenty to feel, see,
smell, to taste...
-
And you could find something
for brave hands.
-
Last night's incident in University
campus in New Belgrade
-
it's not just incident anymore.
-
What it looked like just a rugged
and hooligan ending
-
of one well controlled night,
today got a new form.
-
Violent fightings that shook
the University campus,
-
were just a cause for a long
student protest to start at noon
-
their march from New Belgrade
to the very downtown.
-
The crowd of angry students
protesting with their march,
-
the police was able to stop on the
road near the building of the Federal Chamber.
-
Soon after that dramatic
event took place,
-
there was a clash between
the police and the students.
-
So far we know that there
are injured people
-
but there were no casualties.
-
Where to?
-Swimming. -Get back!
-
You wanna get a stroke from
temperature difference.
-
First sit here in a shade
for five minutes, both of you.
-
Saska llic, pharmacist.
-
All around herself she spread
an irresistible smell of essential oils,
-
hot summer and sunny sands.
-
Put something under my head.
-
And pour me some vine.
-
I forgot it.
-How did you forget it?
-
We came to the beach without wine.
-Less wine, less wine. -Silence!
-
What do you think of? -If we had a
car we could now quickly go fetch it
-
Petar! Go get wine!
Take a shortcut.
-
Be here in 20 minutes.
I'll measure the time. Go!
-
Hi. What are you doing?
-We're preparing an attack on the Czech girls.
-
Join us, we're stronger togehter.
-
I can't, I must go
to get wine for my father.
-
Good afternoon. -Good afternoon.
-
You are Olja Miranovski,
our new neighbour?
-
How do you know? -I know.
Petar Cvetkovic, student.
-
What do you study?
-Politics.
-
I'm interested in marxism.
-
And you? -I'm just a school librarian.
-
I got a spot in your
city library.
-
Can you show me
the way to the beach? -Of course.
-
That's where I'm going.
I'll show you.
-
I don't have a bike.
-Take mine.
-
I will run, it's not hard for me.
It's close. -No way.
-
You just show me the
way, I'll find it.
-
It's not that close.
-
Alright, then give me a ride.
-
You drive well?
-No problem.
-
What is she saying?
-Asking for a name.
-
Him? Djoka. -Him.
-
Pera.
-
What is she doing?
-
Reading newspapers.
-Is that the way to read a newspaper?
-
Vladica, come here!
-
Perica, could you blow this up for me please?
-
I will do it,
just need to bring wine to my father.
-
Perica, only top button.
-
Perica has a wife.
Perica has a wife.
-
What is he babbling about?
What wife?
-
A big wife.
-
Brother has a wife.
-
You, who were you talking to over there?
-
What do you smell like...
Where were you roaming around?
-
You smell like perfume. -I just
showed her the way to the beach.
-
What do you have to show her a way?!
-
How can it be that no one on the
street, not one perfumed girl,
-
asks me?
-Don't hit me!
-
Who're you talking to?
Is he talking to me? -Of course.
-
I don't understand why
did you hit him. What did he do?
-
See how he's talking to me.
And you don't understand, right?!
-
Who is the father here,
me to him or him to me?
-
These are the same ones that
made riots in Germany and France.
-
Their fathers feed them,
and they're demostrating.
-
Now this one in Belgrade.
A frog sees how big the horse is,
-
so ite wants to become one.
-
It's not going to happen!
-We're going to. -Where?
-
To help demonstrators in Belgrade.
-
There is Cile with students,
they're preparing to go to Belgrade.
-
Nobody will move from here!
-
He is some student!?
He's studying 100 years already!
-
He's eating someone else's bread,
and he wants to change my world!
-
We came here to get some fresh air,
to swim and sunbath.
-
That's it! Let's go lie in the sun.
-
Dear visitors,
the temperature is rising,
-
it is now it's 32 degrees Celcius.
-
We wish you a pleasent
dwelling on our Lido!
-
Here are some more Viennese waltz.
-
Right here! Lay down!
-
Don't you look at those
punks overthere.
-
Cile is taking care of himself.
And eats pie and yogurt.
-
He agitates.
-And everything he says is true.
-
Do you see what he's doing?
-
How can I see when
you told us to lay down?
-
You, stand up. Bring me the pills.
-For the blood pressure or appetite?
-
Can't you see I can't breathe?
Why would I need for appetite?
-
So for blood pressure.
-
My head is bursting.
-
Less wine, less wine!
-
Pardon judge. Can you spare
me a moment? Excuse me madam.
-
I haven't heard anything.
-Yesterday in Belgrade.
-
Students bariccaded in the
faculties and won't come out.
-
You know what paroles
they were using?
-
Down with social differencies!
Down with red burogoisie!
-
Down with the corruption and down
with just one set of people in power!
-
Come on, nonsense!
I don't know nothing.
-
You didn't say anything,
I haven't heard anything.
-
We're on the beach, for God's sake!
-Alright but... -There's no but!
-
We drudge, we're working here
and we don't have time for that.
-
Excuse me, but I still
have something to say to you.
-
My wife is complaining.
-On students?
-
No, no. On your son, Perica.
-Excuse me?
-
Perica is not a child anymore and
he started to act, well a little indecent.
-
How do you mean indecent?
-Well, breathing down her neck.
-
Breathing? -Yes. You see,
everytime she go to shop,
-
he is always there, behind
her and always so close,
-
so she can feel him.
Like this...
-
That's what I had to say to you.
And I beg you to do something. -I will.
-
Don't worry I will. And where
is your wife so I can apologize?
-
Here, if you please.
-
I'm sorry, it will not
happen again. -Let's hope so.
-
Good afternoon.
-How did you teach your son?
-
It's always my fault.
Excuse me, please.
-
Highschool rector was looking for you.
-What does he want? -I don't know.
-
Pera is like our grandpa,
so am I.
-
Good day.
-You probably heard.
-
I haven't heard anything
and I don't know anything.
-
You have to know. Believe me,
there's nothing I could do.
-
We're friends,I respect you.
Your father especially.
-
But I couldn't do anything.
-
About F's in geoography and
history, I fixed that,
-
but at the final exam
your Perica didn't say a word.
-
Not a word?
-
You know our professor of sociology?
-
Take a look at her body.
Look at those curves.
-
You see, how can I say that,
in those motherly curves,
-
Perica was looking inappropriately,
and he didn't say a word of the matter.
-
Believe me, we had to fail him.
-
Every member of comission was
there, I couldn't do anything.
-
I understand.
-
Petar!
-
My son to got an F in marxism!
-
At this particular moment!
And he's hiding that!
-
He gave you his word of honour...
-What word?
-
If he knew what honour was,
he wouldn't allow
-
the whole town to laugh at me!
-
Son of county judge failed his final exam!
-
I made a great sacrifice
so you can be able
-
to be doctor, architect, engineer
or judge some day!
-
I don't want to be a judge.
-What did you say? -Nothing.
-
Answer my question, you hear.
-I don't want to be a judge! -You won't?
-
Pull down your pants!
-
It seems like the war in Vietnam
is reaching its climax these days,
-
judging by American war operations
-
and by bloody retaliation
on innocent Vietnamese people.
-
Pentagon is saying that right
now, over North Vietnam
-
8 American planes and 9
helicopters were destroyed.
-
But the Pentagon is keeping the
exact informations about
-
how many pilots have been killed,
saying just that,
-
382 pilots and 289
other crew members
-
died over South and North Vietnam.
-
Saygon is saying
-
that French goverment firmly refused
wishes of South Vietnam
-
for restitution of diplomatic relations.
-
De Gaulle is constantly convicting
American interferance in the war
-
and demands that South Vietnam...
-
You, stand up!
-
Say good night to your father,
mother, sister and brother.
-
Why good night?
It's day. -It's night for you.
-
Pitch black. Understood?
-Understood. Good night.
-
Where are you going?
-We're solidary.
-
Excuse me?
-
I didn't say anything. -You did,
with your look. Like you don't know,
-
in what state our
society is today.
-
Veso, what's wrong with you? No
one can object anything with you.
-
You recently joined the Party,
you're new. -Exactly!
-
My son must have at
least a B in Marxism!
-
They forgot how to bring up children.
Today it's coming back to them.
-
Under my roof that would
not be the case! Period!
-
Petar! Petar!
-
From tomorrow you must not
pass by the drug-store. That's first.
-
Second: Sign up into a library
and read all about marxism.
-
Clear? -Clear.
-
What's clear? Repeat.
-I can't pass by drug-store,
-
to sign up into a library and to
read all about marxism.
-
That's right.
-
That night I firmly decided
to listen to my father.
-
I would not pass by the drug-store,
-
but I will sign up into
library, for sure.
-
And read everything about marxism.
Olja Miranovski.
-
Bring it!
-
Come on!
-
Bravo, dog, bravo!
-
One more time, bring it!
-
Come on,
don't do it mechanically.
-
Come on! Dog, doggy! Here you
horse. Bring it here.
-
Sit! Sit!
-
Don't do it mechanically,you horse!
-
Capital can be created in
productive process before
-
and it must be created in it,
before learning...
-
Capital can be created in
productive process
-
and it must be created in it,
-
before learning to master
its own extrems.
-
You're learning, I see.
-
Marxism, son.
-
Marxism is not like the other
matter, geography for example.
-
You can live, even if you don't know,
-
where is Abu Dhabi,
Singapore, Singhal.
-
Or from the history, when did
king Milutin came to a throne.
-
But marxism, you must simply
know it. Do you understand?
-
It will follow you your whole life.
-
Marxism is pervading all
the pores of our society.
-
It's truly neccesary.
Do you understand that?
-
I do. And you had to join the
Party in your late ages
-
to progress.
-Who said that? Who?
-
That's not true, I didn't have to.
I always wanted to join.
-
I felt that so intimatly
and deep inside of me.
-
The situation just wasn't right before...
Are you interrogating me?
-
You want me to slap you
behind your ear?
-
Hoodlum! You have a big mouth,
but don't know anything from the matter!
-
Come on, say something from the book!
Say it! -What to say?
-
Veso! Phonecall!
-
Read that from A to Z,
from cover to cover.
-
I will examine you.
-
Who is it? -Belgrade.
-Why me?
-
What do I have to do with Belgrade?
Hang up, that's some provocation.
-
Buddy Raka.
-And what if it isn't Raka?
-
Are you insane? Taking calls
from Belgrade in moments like these.
-
Hang up! We aren't going to Belgrade.
I have no attention of doing that.
-
Raka about those hooks
you were looking for.
-
Hang up. Not a word! Hooks!
They want to play with me.
-
Hooks? You won't hook me.
-
They said on television last night,
-
that public rallies are forbbiden in Belgrade.
-
And you're still staring at that TV?
Staring!
-
And what did I say?
-
Sealed until until further notice!
-
Hello, Perica. What are you doing here?
-I came to sign up.
-
Nice.
-
Come on.
-
None
-
Enough! Turn it off!
-
How many of this kind of movies
you played in your restaurant?
-
Five.
-
Where did you get them from?
-From Germany.
-
Actually from Denmark.
That's the best quality.
-
You know that's forbbiden?
-I didn't know.
-
And customers don't
mind at all. -Take him.
-
This should be locked
until the inquest.
-
After the trial it should be
burned infront of comission.
-
What do you think, what fine he
will get? -Maximum they can.
-
Let's see what happened next.
-
Dog!
-
On the spot, dog! Sit!
-
Bravo, dog!
-
Summer. -Elusive.
- What is elusive?
-
You said summer. And it's really
elusive. It's raining so often.
-
Where is he? Did he go to the
library? -Three times.
-
Why three times?
-First time, to sign up,
-
second time, to pick up the books,
and third, to pay for the membership.
-
And now? -He went for the fourth time.
-Why now? -To sign up Jova and Djoka.
-
You see how it worked? Even
an animal you can teach,
-
and not one young hot head.
-
You just need...
-Hand of steel!
-
Let's have lunch.
-
You scared me.
-
I feel that something
is breathing down my neck.
-
You want something? -Yes.
-
You want some book? -No.
-
What then?
-
You.
-
That's the new generation!
-
Everything without effort,
without work, without knowledge.
-
They just want to enjoy!
And breath down women's necks.
-
If we have a car,
he would be at home more.
-
He'd be doing something around the engine.
And everything would be fine.
-
I will employ him at my friend Spasoje.
He will be working hard.
-
His back will ache
from the hard work!
-
And what about the school?
Let him finish that highschool.
-
Let him see what the
working class.
-
He'd be working by day,
and learning by night.
-
That's marxism in practice.
-I'm not sure.
-
Well, I am!
Said-done.
-
Turn it off!
-
Here you are.
-
Thank you very much.
-
Good morning, buddy.
-Hello, buddy.
-
I brought my kid,
like we agreed.
-
Don't worry. He will be just fine.
Come on kid!
-
You know that Spasoje
is engaged? -Again?
-
It's like he got right this time.
-
I found her through some connections.
-
Healthy, strong. Not like
these girls today.
-
And most important, virgin.
-
My fiancee,
your boss.
-
Good afternoon.
-Hello.
-
Take off your pants.
-
Why are you staring? Pants!
-
You see that truck?
-
Don't stop until you
unload all that flower!
-
Not much. Four and half tone.
-
Her name was so simple,
Jagodinka Simonovic.
-
She smell like fresh pastry,
salt pretzels and bake heaven.
-
Go play outside, Vilkica.
-
Why are you looking at me like
that for two days now?
-
You fell in love?
-You're engaged.
-
That's right.
-
Pera, Perica!
-
What? -Nothing.
I just wanted to hear your voice.
-
Where is your tie, dad?
-
Even if it's hot like hell?
-There must be an order in hell too.
-
This is not some village
but civilized town.
-
We're not some village bakers I've
learned my trade in Belgrade.
-
In civilization there's a system.
-
And inside that system are,
you father, you brother and me.
-
Order must come from our family,
and not from some students.
-
Jagodinka. -What is it? -Nothing.
Just wanted to hear your voice.
-
You just knead,
it won't hurt you.
-
Get out!
-
What does it mean? -From now on
you can watch television.
-
Comrade Tito said,
that students are right.
-
Petar, hold this.
Phone! Must be Raka.
-
Daughter, tonight is quiz.
-
Hello?
-
Fine. Alright.
-
You say, you're satisfied
with work in a bakery?
-
Do you hear your father?
-
You see that he's on cloud
nine. We're bothering you?
-
What did you ask?
-
How is it for you in a bakery?
-Great. - Really?
-
Really great? -I think so.
-
And why did Spasoje call me
then? Watch on that TV.
-
I think it was about you.
Why did he banish you from the bakery?
-
That's 'cause of that breasted baker woman.
-
You raff! Hoodlum!
-
I understand your age, puberty,
but why her, friend's future wife?!
-
You bastard!
-
After the speech he made,
president Tito is still receiving
-
telegrams from all parts of our country.
-
Till tonight president recieved
over 600 letters and telegrams.
-
Worker's collectives, social-
politic organizations,
-
students and citizens are honestly
expressing their assent
-
with Tito's words
and they're saying that,
-
like they were solidary in accepting
social and economy reforms,
-
they are solidary now to conduct
those reforms until their goals.
-
Telegrams and letters also confirmed,
-
that workers are eagerly waiting
decisions from the head of the Party
-
promising that they will put
maximum effort to
-
to revive those ideas.
In the most telegrams,
-
that Tito received from the
students, it's confirmed,
-
that they are categorically insisting
on coherent realization
-
of Tito's conception of
our way into the socialism.
-
Foreign agencies mainly did
properly informed their publicity
-
about reactions of Yugoslavian
students on Tito's speech.
-
While the situation still was
tense last night,
-
journalist of France Press is saying,
-
just one speech that Tito made
on TV, made all disappear.
-
Almost all of students and
professors of Belgrade University
-
unanimously agreed that
after one week strike
-
they will continue their
work on Monday or Tuesday,
-
because chief of state,
very simply explained them,
-
what he intends to do
for them and country.
-
Similar informations are
published by Reuters,
-
Associated Press
and other agencies.
-
You decided? -I did.
-
All of it? -All.
-
Cile! What have you done?
-
Nothing.
-
I cut my hair.
-
I'll never forget you.
-Give me something to remember you.
-
Give me your shirt.
It has your smell.
-
I had to come after
my baker girl.
-
I couldn't stand not a day,
not an hour without her.
-
Since she left,
my heart was beating
-
in the rhythm of her name.
-
Crazy heart ceaselessly
repeated:
-
Jagodinka Simonovic, Jagodinka Simonovic,
Jagodinka Simonovic...
-
Dad, it's time for us to
talk very seriously.
-
For the sixth time I'm prolonging
your stay in the hospital.
-
It's time to go back home.
-
Here is the real living.
Here.
-
Medical highschool has their practical part here
-
Besides, maybe these
are my last days.
-
Dad. I cannot beg the director
of the hospital anymore.
-
It's true that he's my friend,
but you're going too far.
-
You're healthy. -Me? -Sure.
-And my back is hurting,
-
my knees tremble,
then bile, nerves?
-
I am your father
and it's your duty,
-
to make the director to do that.
-
Besides you don't have to. I made
him play poker and he sucks.
-
I will forgive him his debt
if he doesn't throw me out.
-
Chief of the hospital,
2 200 000.
-
Highshool headmaster
about 3 000 000.
-
Highshool headmaster? -He also
likes to play and he also sucks.
-
I'll forgive him his debt
if Perica passes the exam.
-
What? You need money?
-
Dad, I have big troubles.
-
What is it? Talk.
-
Perica is missing.
-
What do you mean? -He fell in love
with that Spasoje's fiancee
-
and ran after her in Belgrade.
-
I told Raka to find him.
But nothing.
-
I can't call the police,
I would be ashamed.
-
Him? Women?
Petar!?
-
That's my grandson! Where is
he now so I can kiss him?
-
That's not pedagogic. I scold
him and you want to kiss him.
-
How can I not kiss him?
I was the same in his age!
-
Dusko Mandic! Dusko!
-
Just wanted to hear your voice!
-
For unfortunate love
and liberating death.
-
Comrade, you're sitting
on my wife's seat.
-
I came after her, and she already
have found some other clown.
-
She forgot everything in two days.
-
Tell him to stand up.
-You see what state he's in?
-
Tell him. -My wife doesn't
have a place to seat.
-
You have a ticket?
-"L'amour est terrible."
-
"La morte e bella."
-Where is it conducter?
-
He's so sweet.
-
Tadija!
-
Czech are holding so well.
That Dubichek is worth them like a gold.
-
Dubchek. -How do you know?
-I had a chance
-
to exchange ideas with
some philosophy students.
-
Comrade judge, should we bring
that band for wellcoming of president?
-
Not a chance! We would be embareced.
He's a gentleman, man of the world.
-
Mila, check please!
-
Let's go!
-
You must be comrade Micic?
- That's right. -Welcome.
-
Wellcome? -A little county and
patriarchal custom.
-
It's suitable.
After all, you're new president.
-
I am Cvetkovic,
local judge. My wife.
-
I'm glad. -My daughter.
My wife. And my younger son.
-
That's my wife and my daughters.
-What was your trip like? -Awful!
-
Good at the start, but then
some drunk noddy came in
-
and started to vomit in the car.
That's the youth of today.
-
Please, car is waiting.
-Thank you.
-
Thanks collegue. I didn't expect
something like this.
-
If you need something,
don't hesitate to ask.
-
Take a look. Pittyful is the father
that has a son like this.
-
Sorry and pittyful.
-
There was a meeting today
betweeen Communist Party of SSSR
-
and Communist Party
of Czechoslovakia.
-
As Agency Tass is saying
meeting was full of
-
total honesty, openess
and mutual understanding
-
and it was objected to develop
more stronger
-
of traditionally
friendly relations of
-
between Parties of two nations
founded on the principals
-
marxism, Leninism and
proleterian internationalism.
-
Both delegations...
-
Why do we brush our teeth now?
-Guests are coming.
-
And what are we going to do to them?
-Shut up and brush like crazy!
-
For that embarassment,
you will get detention.
-
Dad, it's not the medieval ages.
-Shut up you bastard.
-
President of the court
mustn't find out,
-
that you were that
raff from the train.
-
Man who can't educate his own son,
can't and mustn't be a judge!
-
Veso! -I'm coming!
-
And don't make a sound!
-
Your roses are wonderful.
-That's my work.
-
Yes, your work.
And who's watering them?
-
You're watering them,
but I give them a soul.
-
Please, let me show you.
-
I interbreed them, graft them.
I know their every particular need.
-
You see, this is Elvira,
there is Simonida, then Teodora.
-
And what's the lady's name?
-Leposava. -Leposava.
-
Here! This
would be Leposava.
-
Please, madam.
Let me show you our house.
-
Our local bicycle union is
organizing duck hunting.
-
I don't know why people
are rushing so much.
-
You know how many cars there is?
105 000. -And you're not for cars?
-
While I'm live we're
not going to buy that.
-
This is old family vineyard.
-Congratulations.
-
You know what you live for.
-
In this house we're drinking
only top class drinks.
-
Can we try that? -Of course.
I have something special for us.
-
Good old fashion of living.
Peaceful, quiet, calm...
-
I always say to my husband,
-
that something like this has
to exist somewhere.
-
What are you doing here?
-We're in a visit.
-
You're so sweet!
-
Let my sister go.
It's two of us, we're stronger.
-
Just go ahead. I haven't be
scared of stronger than you.
-
This wine is from 1928.
Famous vintage.
-
There's only this bottle
left. Here you are. -Thank you.
-
You're lucky. Home, family,
peace, stability.
-
Eh my collegue... I'm sorry.
-Something's wrong with the wine? -No.
-
What can be wrong here?
This is paradise!
-
I remembered my pain.
It's not right, but still,
-
even if we see each other for the
first time, I'll relieve you my soul.
-
Feel free. If I can help you
with something. Go ahed.
-
It's about my children. -Excuse me?
-I practically run away here.
-
To pluck them off from bad company.
You're lucky to have such kids.
-
Me? -You don't know what
kind of troubles I had.
-
Comrade president... -Don't comfot me,
I haven't told you everything.
-
I'm sorry, you're wonderful man.
I have to complain to someone.
-
And who can I complain to?
-You didn't had problems.
-
Tadija and Vladica are angels.
-Now I will show you.
-
Hand of steel is the cure.
-
He's tide up. -Who?
- My ex problem.
-
My oldest son.
Come on.
-
Petar! I will kill you!
-
I will kill him.
I will kill you, Petar!
-
Here are the photos that
reminding us on those days,
-
when the struggle for the foundations
of the first sky-scrapers began.
-
The most important thing at the start
-
was to take the land from
the river and swamp.
-
On 800 hectare came
21 millions cubic of sands.
-
All that work without help of engines,
using only pickaxe and shovel.
-
For two decades 20000 apartments
was finished. There are schools,
-
health centers,
cinemas, shops,
-
everything that
100 000 citizens need.
-
So that's in a few words, yesterday,
today and tomorrow of a New Belgrade.
-
And that tomorow is beeing
made by the hands of young workers.
-
Dear viewers, good bye.
-
Daddy. -Sorry my darling.
I'm pensive.
-
You don't know, Vladica,
the troubles I'm in.
-
If you didn't get the good grades,
I wouldn't know what to do...
-
Daddy, I want to read you
something from my diary.
-
Read it.
-
After everything that happened,
this turbulent and decisive year 1968.
-
is promising that in the near future
we're going to fulfil all our awakened hopes.
-
Fully employment will be achived,
-
we will not owe anyone, social
differences will almost not exist,
-
and our whole country will be flowered
and beautifuly arangged garden,
-
united community of nations
and ethnic groups.
-
What dead line to make for this?
Five or six years?
-
Daddy, you're crying.
-I'm happy, my daughter.
-
Happy, beacuse you pervade,
feel, you know things.
-
You, 15 years old, know more than
that idiot of mine in his 18.
-
First son!
-
Come on, daddy.
He'll pass the exam.
-
Trust me. He promised me.
-I don't know, my daughter.
-
Maybe this year of '68 is
good for a mankind
-
but for me it's a disaster.
-
Here come grandpa with Czech girls.
-What grandpa?
-
You're all insane! Vladica,
please, go stop him!
-
No, no. I will go!
-
Your grandson is passing the exam
and you're in a parade with those Czechs.
-
This is too much.
-
I came out to have some joy.
-
This may be the last
night of my life.
-
That would be 1000th jubilant.
-My darling.
-
Everyone has to die sometime.
We're all of flesh and blood.
-
I will die first.
-You won't. -I will. -No.
-
Go and see if Petar is coming..
-
And I failed three times.
So what then?
-
I was best geometar in the whole county.
-
You're still using my cadastres.
-
And I spent 8 years filling
and rearranging
-
what you wrote.
-You are my son.
-
You had to make some
contribution in life.
-
Brother is coming! Brother is coming!
Brother is coming!
-
Brother is coming!
- He's coming?
-
But he hanged his nose down.
-Hanged his nose down?
-
Clear! He failed!
-
Petar, grandpa's pride!
-
Congratulations!
-He's congrulating him.
-
So, brother? -I passed.
-Passed, of course!
-
Mama, he passed the exam!
-He passed beside my grave!
-
Die, Veselin Cvetkovic! Die!
-
My son! You passed.
-He passed?
-
I will remember this day, 20 of
August, until I die.
-
Your highschool rector's
debt is now gone.
-
And now, the two of us
will merry until the dusk.
-
This is your first big night.
-
Your first big night.
-
And maybe my last.
-
Pera, Pera stop.
-
Petar, how it's wonderful to live!
-
I'm fed up with hospital,
wheelchairs, spoons...
-
My legs and my heat are still
good. I want to live Petar!
-
Grandpa!
-
Look Petar, carp!
-
Here you are, your carp.
-
One litar of white wine. -Grandpa!
-Grandpa's pride!
-
Rumpus salad, sliced sheep
cheese, chilli pappers.
-
To remind ourselves of
everything we used to love.
-
Right away Mr. Cvetkovic.
-
This is my older brother.
-
Dance, Petar,
make me proud.
-
Ruzenka. -Petar.
-
We must bring him back to life.
-
A long time ago I was study in
Prague with good soldier Svejk.
-
Dance, Petar.
-
Eh, how did we randan in my time!
-
In Prague, on the Karlo's Bridge.
-
Petrchek, wake up. Live.
-No, I want to die.
-
This may be the last
night of my life.
-
You're dancing with a dead man.
-
Last salute.
-
You only live once, Petar,
remember that.
-
Only once!
-
If I could only live for another 10 years!
And then I would retire.
-
My blood.
-
This is my tree.
I call it a tree of life.
-
How do you say tree? Tree?
-Vrba. (Willow)
-
It is a willow.
-
I come here when something
significant happened in my life.
-
First grade, end of elementary
school, first year of highschool,
-
scarlet fever, grandma's death.
-
I wanted to hang
myself here once.
-
Would you come one time in Prague?
-
One time! Hundred times!
-
That morning,
-
like I premonited, finally
I have found a woman of my life,
-
Ruzenka Hrabalova.
-
I've decided
to give my Ruzenka,
-
the most beautiful bouqet
of roses from a father's garden.
-
Simonida.
-
Emilia.
-
Leposava.
-
Armed forces of SSSR,
Democratic Republic of Germany,
-
Poland, Hungaria and Bulgaria, in the
night between Tuesday and Wednesday,
-
ocuppied the whole territory
of Czechoslovakia..
-
During the night
Radio Prague announced that,
-
forces of 5 states of
Warsaw Pact are entering
-
from all around on
Czechosolovakian ground.
-
Radio appealed on citizens
to maintain peace and order.
-
When did they gone? -Just now.
-
That's how started and ended
my first and great love that
-
long gone year of 1968.
-
I haven't seen Ruzenka
Hrabalova ever again.
