Summer Holiday (2008) - full transcript

On his spring break at the seaside, with his wife and his four year old son, Bogdan Ciocazanu runs into his best friends from high-school at the precise date and time that reminds all of them of their most glorious drinking trips and sexual escapades of their younger days. Frustrated that, between his job and his family, time is no longer his to manage and play with, Boogie now takes his shock dosage of freedom and spends a night to tick off all the items on the map of his youth (drinking, games, flirting, prostitutes). In the morning, after the disillusionment of the remake he experiences with his former friends, he returns to his wife.

Adi, come on.

Come on, Adi.

Come on!

Daddy, daddy, can I have it?

Let me get it going first.

Here. And run along the shore
to fly it.

Go, go! Good, give it more string.

That's it, Adi!

Good job!

Come here!

Well done, Adi!



Let me get it higher!

Look how high it is!

- Come here. You hold it.
- Me, me too!

Come, you hold it.

Do you like the kite?
Look how high it is!

I prefer the castle!

- You want the castle again?
- Yes!

OK, but this time
let's build it right, please.

- I want water.
- OK, go get water.

- But don't get wet.
- OK.

Don't get wet, Adi!
Let me get the water.

Wait there.

I'm going with Daddy.

Watch out.



You make the cement,
l'll dig the moat.

But where do we put the cement?

Mix the cement!

Where do we put it?

I don't know.

We have to have a construction plan.
We can'tjust build without one.

Let's make the cement,
so it provides support. Pour it here.

No, wait! It's not ready!

Let's see.

- Wait!
- Mr. Builder, I say it looks good.

Don't pour yet!

- Get the excavator out of the way.
- Wait, not yet!

That's enough...
you don't want it too hard.

No, it's good. I saw it's good.

OK, have it your way.

Start digging. You wanted the castle.

- I'm making a little window.
- Forget it. Get the shovel.

- I made a little window here.
- Out of shells.

But now let's dig the ditch.
You kept nagging me about the castle.

Windows with shells here, ok?

I made a little hole for the shell.

Put the shell there, then.

I put a big shell here.
And this is a secret entrance.

- So where's the secret exit?
- Here.

l'll tap it hard!

Not so hard, you'll ruin it.

I want to ruin it.

Adi, please...

Why don't you play alone in the sand?

He's got no patience.

I wonder who he takes after.

No interest in anything.

He's exhausted. What do you expect?
He was up early...

Mrs. Doina called.
I waved but you didn't see me.

Why didn't you answer?

What does she want?

Adi, the sand is wet.
Don't go near the water.

Don't worry, he won't.

Come here.

- Cold?
- Yes.

- Sweaty?
- Yeah.

No you're not.

- Go build in the sand.
- He has sand all over.

It's OK, we'll shake it off later.

Pity I didn't get the camera
from our room.

Ordid I leave it in the car'?

No, you brought it.

Are you all right?

- Who, me?
- You seem upset.

Why didn't you bring a book along?

I'm fine.

I'm OK, really.

You're OK with us guys?

It's almost two o'clock...

Hi. You called.

I sent you the stuff
for items two and four.

No, sorry, two and five.
With penalties.

They're bored at home...

Couldn't leave us alone on holiday.

It's the standard clause,
except I added a four-day margin.

That's if they want the finishings.

Adi, please don't go in!

Madam, I'll call you back.

I thought we had a deal.

Get the bucket, please.

- I made room for you.
- Watch this, he's going in.

He doesn't have the guts to go in.

The waters very cold.

Let's see, baby...

He went in.

You'll have to move closer.

He's so cute with his little shovel.

Yes, he is...

- Adi, who's this?
- I don't know.

Adi, stop running around so much.

Don't you want to talk to your sister?

Wanna talk into the microphone?

Want to sing to her
'In the walnut forest'?

Yes.

Should I go in too?

I'm going in.

I'll get really upset.
You're crazy.

Big deal. It's my pleasure.

No 1st of May without
a dip in the sea.

Have it your way.

Good, baby!

- Are you going for a swim?
- Yes, kiddo.

- And Mama's very upset with him.
- Why?

But she's gonna watch me go in.

It's very cold, that's why.
Daddy's not allowed to.

It's very cold.

Where's Daddy going?

He's going... I could tell you just where...

Here, eat some banana.

- That was so good!
- Did you swim, Daddy?

Adi, let's collect our toys, ok?

Help Mama.

- Are you annoyed?
- Yes, I'm annoyed.

- What are you so upset about?
- Let me go. You're wet and cold.

- Let's go.
- I'm ready.

Get dressed, shake off the sand,
fold the towel...

You're ready...

Sorry, I had to watch my kid.

So, please put everything together,
close the contract and let's e-mail it.

And cc me, too.

Actually, don't cc me.
I don't have my laptop here anyway.

Monday night.

Got it.

Bogdan, really,
can't you take care of him too?

Well, happy Labor Day.
Well, talk on Tuesday.

Thanks, bye, bye.

- What's wrong?
- Ijust brushed the sand off him.

Look at him...

Turn around.

Want to get smacked?

Go on, help your mother.

What about the kite?

Got a bag?

I've got snots!

Got a snotty nose? Come here.

Two million, sir.

Drive safely!

Just don't run this lady over.

If you don't drive safely,
the police will suspend your license.

The Polish gins used to come here
to sell creams and stuff.

There was a stampede
when they did.

Yes, I can picture your mother
there.

It was great. The chicks sunbathed
nude, and I was watching.

It's all gone to the dogs.

People have stopped coming.

I was talking to lulia on Tuesday.
She said they're going to Varna.

Forget lulia.
Bulgaria, Romania, same shit.

Well, they were supposed
to come to Neptun as well.

I'm glad they didn't.
Let them go to Varna.

If they went to Turkey
or something, I'd understand.

Then people complain
the Romanian coast sucks.

What's wrong with them?
I get along great with lulia.

I think they're both annoying.

I mean they're boring.

Motorcycle!

Yes, baby. Let's see it up close.

It's red. Like it?

Horseback ride!

- Again?
- Yes.

Two rounds. That's it.

Boogie?

Penescu! What's up with you, man?

How are you doing?
You've gone to the ground!

No I haven't. Great to see you!

I went out for cigarettes.

At the Fishery
they only have Pafliament.

- Your kid?
- Yeah. Adi.

Lordache was calling you
till he got blue in the face.

- Why don't you answer?
- The Swede? That asshole is here?

Yeah man. He is.

Smaranda is here, too.

Hi Smaranda!

We came to Neptun for Spring Break.

Imagine, no wet ones!

Neptun has gone to the dogs.

- Tell me about Iordache.
- Wait.

Iordache,
man, here's a nice surprise.

I'm here talking with Boogie.

Yup, Mr. Ciocazanu is here with Smaranda
and a little Ciocazanu on his back.

Hold on.
He wants to talk to you.

Hallo?

Me too, you four-eyed Swede.
Is that what you wanted to tell me?

I left lordache at the Fishery
and came here for smokes.

Well, what can I do?
I didn't recognize the number.

Let me talkto him.

If I'd seen the area code for Sweden
I'd have answered.

- He says we should meet up tonight.
- We should.

- You'll be around, right?
- Yes.

The question is, where?

What do you think, lordache?

Won't you come to the Fishery now?

We were heading back to our room.

But we can meet later.

- They're having a family afternoon.
- Later tonight.

Eight, then? At the Amphitheatre?

He says OK.

- On the terrace, not inside.
- We'll find you.

- Yeah, man, lights.
- You're a freakin' nag.

Boogie's right, you're a nag.
OK then.

You should see how fat he got...

- You know Iordache.
- Of course.

So then, I'll go get the cigarettes.

We'll all meet tonight.

- Man, I'm glad I ran into you.
- Bye!

Bless you!

So, lordache is back.

Guess it didn't work out
for him there.

You don't know that for sure.
I think he's just back visiting his folks.

Wait.

He called and I didn't answer, he says.

Told him, you should have called
from your Swedish number.

He says he used Penescu's phone
to save money.

What a cheap skate.

It might rain tonight
if were on the terrace.

Hello. Wait.

I've gone out onto the balcony.
Adrian's sleeping.

Yes, the poor baby.

He fell asleep as soon as
we got back to our room.

Sunny but cold.

You're right, we have to wear
sweaters rather than T-shirts.

I'll tell him. Yes, call when he wakes up.

Yes, I'll give him a kiss.

Thanks. Bye now.

My mother?

I thought you called her today.

Don't let her unload on me.
I don't enjoy it.

Why, did she say anything bad?

No. But you could have called her.

You know how she gets worried.

L'll lie down for ten minutes.
I hope Adrian doesn't wake up.

I checked the fittings.

The nightstands, the bed.

They're holding alright.

What do you expect?

It's only been two months.

We should have done the doors,
too.

They wouldn't listen to me.

L'll nap for ten minutes.

Tonight were putting him to bed
in the other room.

- Look, a boat!
- Where?

The white one?

What are the colored ones?

Those are pedal boats.

- With pedals?
- Yes.

They float.

You pedal through the water.

- Look.
- Yes, a ship.

Far, far away.

Want something to play with?

Now we'll eat,
with two of Daddy's friends.

And you'll be good, right?

No tantrums.

We eat, then it's bedtime.

He)'-

I didn't recognize you from behind,
with the child and all.

You've changed, too.
Filled out a bit.

I haven't seen you
since the wedding, in 2002.

- Where's Boogie?
- Coming now.

I should smack your thick neck,
you phone filtering bastard.

- When did you get here?
- Yesterday afternoon.

- How come we didn't meet before?
- We're meeting now. Sit down.

Lovely kid.

- What's your name?
- Tell him.

Adi.

Can we get a dry Murfatlar
and two half waters.

- Two bottles.
- And ice, please.

How old is he?

- Tell him how old you are.
- I'm four.

He'll be four in June.

- You?
- What about me?

Aren't you going to make
a little Swede of your own?

Lordache called you a billion times...

You deleted my number, or what?

Maybe you changed your number.
I don't answer if I don't recognize it.

Man, you're getting bald.

That's fine. You've got some grey hairs.

- Still in the furniture business?
- We've expanded since.

Maybe we can do something
together and smoke lkea.

Talk to the lady here.
She's the Development department.

I see.

- I even called you from the agency.
- What agency?

- The travel agency where I W0l1( now.
- What's it called?

Geroma Tour.

We'll pour.

Can I take your order?

I don't feel like eating. You?

We've ordered.

Something traditional?
Sarmale?

- What's the carp marinated in brine like?
- It's carp. Marinated in brine.

I mean, is the fish fresh or frozen?

Frozen.

Never mind, then.
Want something?

- Nothing.
- Nothing, then.

I don't like him playing
near the railing.

How long have you been with Geroma?
I haven't heard of them.

I hadn't, either,
until I got a job with them.

- Big company, then.
- Huge.

Where did we buy
our tickets for Antalya?

You're going to Antalya?

This summer.
