How come he knows where is North ?

He has a good sense of smell.

Father needs help
- Yes kiddo.

This harmony will fall down on your head.

Accordeon...

Where is your dad ?

About bricks and others stuff.

Nice, cleverly.

Looks as if nothing but...

let's go to the point

-Is it far?
-It is...

You don't mind if I take a seat.

You see Mr.Kwiatkowski...



-Why did you come, sir?
-I have a reason to believe that
this is an illegal business.

Of course We can agree or not.

We will see...
Do you understand ?

In these days it is posbileto make
it easier, correct?

If You really want.
it's a mistake, there is no firm here.

Sir, I have ewidence...

But We are making those bricks for ourselves.

Right, and for your neighbours...
I know.

Like I said We can agree with
those evidnce or not...

You didn't pay any taxes.

No permission,
and work hygiene is not right

Do You want some money ?

Come on...
Do they need to be here?

Lets speak private...

But Dad, that's not right!
That is for an extention

Tell him that we don't have place to live.
No money for bricks too.

Tell him that You got fired from School.
- Stop butting in Jedrek.

Send him to reach people who can give him bribe.
- Stop it Barbara.

So if it's like this...

Then we put seal up the factory...

Direction...

which made Stalinism

Could bring to tragedy.

Our present politics is breaking this down.

Guartantee safety and peace.

Diffrently to previous epochs.

Excuse me.
- What is it ?

There something incorrect.

You said before that other epochs
could guarantee safety and peace.

You didn't pay atention...

Yes I did so...

Watch out or i kick you out.

O.K but I will come back with my Dad
He'll remind you your love to Stalin.

And You will take back all You said
about my father.

Your father...

- Never danced the way they played.

Warkowska...

And when they played out of tune
He always pointed out who..

Get Out !

Everything is falling !

Elka stop !

Leave me alone.

Tomorrow at 10 AM at the station.

We're running away.

No, I don't...

Why didn't you go then ?

Do you have a brain ?
Do you want him to be pulled in to the machine?

Dad! We were just making bricks.

Stop meddling with my business.

And what is that business of yours all about?

Stop answering back, Jedrek!

Somebody has to take care of it in this family.

Dad..

Dad!..We broke the seal....

How it is, really? You're working your guts out
and we still can't make ends meet....

-It's not all that stright forward as you think.
-Strighten it then.

These are your own words.

Good Morning

And..who had the best time in "orientation flights"...
....in 67?

And diploma!

It was not my fault.
Steering system got jammed.

The dyploma was here

Just wait a sec....

It's in the old dresser.

In the basement.

Stop! Don't leave or you will vanish for few months again!

Zdzisiu, what's wrong with your memory?

They've revoked your licence 7 tears ago.

Flying planes are not for losers.

Better come back

Jedrek, that's not true.

You're just nothing!

You are even bad as a prisoner.

I'll tell why you getting locked up.

You're going there as if back home.

And do you know why ?
Because they think for you as well.

because you don't even know how.

Zdzisiu, Are you pissing off again....?

When it suits you for 3 months then you steal shoes.

And if for half a year then you smash someone's face in.

Because You're simply afraid to live here.
Yes Zdzisiu.

You're nobody.
- That's not true.

It is true.
And You smoke too much.

I'm not like that....

Would you flog a plane ?

Dear Parrents. We are sorry.

We didn't ran away because of you.
We had different reasons.

Don't call the cops or we an be in mortal danger.

We'll be back next week.

Mom, Take care of yourself.
Jedrek.

Mom, it's not Jedrek's fault.

We decided everything together.

Grzesiek.

Stop stearing through that window, Barbara.

-I'm going to the Police.
-Wait, they will come back.

Please, don't go.

That's the first tim they ran away.

You're defending them ?
- I just trust them.

The child's ID is unknown.. Take him to child care in Swinoujscie or Novogard.

I have report.

-OK, over and out.

Good Evening
Police.

May I see your papers.

The ladie's one also...

Passport, driving licence...

What are you doing here ?

Miss, please translate it to him.

Please leave the cabin.

Lady, i said to get out..

Hop in.

I repeat, my sons have never ran away.

Did your son ever mention that
they wanted to go to the WEST?

Where ? West ?
Of course not.

Have your sons had any problems...
- Please Sir, find them.

To start with- we can start looking after 1 month.
That's the rule.

By then the boys certainly return

Secondly - they've left a letter, didn't they?

So it's not a "missing" case!

They left the letter but they also left the money!

That contradicts the letter.

There is a lot of unclear matter here, Mr.Kwiatkowski

Start searching for them!
- I've got your report, thank you.

Did you know..it doesn't snow in Lousiana.

Stop that bullshit.

I left her behind.

Next month there is a blues competition over there.

-Jedrek!
-Shut Your gob !

What are you doing ?

I can't take it any more.

My Accordeon...

Does it hurts ?

That's against dogs.

How do you know we are heading west?

Maybe he is going to East Germany?

Dogs don't like this.

To the WEST, mom.

Can the witness tell us what influence had
Mr.Kwiatkowski on his son?

Do You know Mr. Tadeusz Kwiatkowski ?

I do know him personally.

He's impetous.

And because of that he was fired from School.

-That's a lie.
- They fired him for telling the truth.

Order please.

This is the end for the road for Mr. Kwiatkowski.

I was worrying about Jedrek for long time.

He's arrogant

he befriended dougther of a criminal.

-Please keep to the point.
- I'm sorry.

He owes privately bricks factory.

Your Honor!. That's irrelevant to the case.

Witness is free.

Your honor

Prosecution requests to suspend the parental rights to their children.

Your honor. Everything was has been said here
is not true.

I have not allowed you to speak.

It's not possible for them to be able to
carry the duty of bringing up their own children

Childrens are in danger because of the educational mistakes.

Becuse parrents didn't ask for help
to bring the children back...

We are obligated to fascilitate the up-bringing the abondoned children and pass ...

-whom to?
-Calm down or I'll remove you from the Court.

You will not take away our children!

Please seat down.

You can judge us but during our absence!

Good Morning boys.

This is Mr. Consul

Good Morning.

First of all. Do you need anything ?

-No.
- How do you find Danmark?

It's great.

When do you want to go back to Poland ?

We don't want to.

I would like to speak with them in private
Could you leave us?

No, I can't. I'm here privately.

You realize what situation are you in ?

You applied for Asylum..
It will be rejected.

It is in your own interest to
return back to Poland.

And I will help you with this.

We will get an Asylum.

Yes! There is a lot of talking about the affair already..

It will stop in time...

And the law takes it's course.

If You leave volontarilly - There will be no need for deportation

Why are You doing all this ?

-I'm question your presence here..
-and what conclusion have you arrived at?

I'm not leaving the room anyway.

Bravo! do you have a Dunnish passport
But your child is in Poland.

Do you have to bring this up now ?

Here You're acting as a caretaker
and you've left you son behind?

-Then let him go.
- We ?

We're not in a position to alter the decision of your ex husband.

The Court suspend parrental rights of your parrents.

Does it mean that you don't have parents anymore?

For the time being..no.

How come ?

I'm replacing them for now.

Unless your parrents lodge the request to bring was back home.

-Jedrek. What doas it mean to "suspend parrental rights"?
-I dont know.

What if they send us back?

Sleep for now.

You have more!

Give it.

Merry Christmas.

What's wrong ? why this glum for?

You can't keep seating on the fence with it all!.

Otherwise you go troppo!

-You didn't think about it when you were getting onto a truck?
- It was all my plan.

Be quiet please.

-I got married.

Did you fall in love?

Do you miss Poland ?
- What is your problem now?
