Irina, there's a worm
in your apple! Spit it out!

Big deal... an apple worm.



I know, I learned in school

Vermis Meris.

F*ck latin.

The worm eats the white
core and turns it black.

The white core?

Yes. The core of the apple.

But the worm comes out of the apple.

No. It comes from the outside.

What the hell?

Doesn't the apple have a hole?

The worm grows inside the apple,
eats its way and he dies inside the apple.

Irina, you are disgusting!

Are you sure that

Your daily norm is 15
tomato boxes per day.

To let you know, this is the wealth
of the people and not yours to mock.

There are a lot of tomatoes on
the way. Shame on you, shame!

But there is no shame on you,
now that you mock our work?

Everywhing we picked
will be rotten here.

How the hell could I
give them away, miss?

How the hell could I
give them away, miss?

Is this agriculture?

F*ck agriculture!

God damn me!

Look! My boobs are bigger!

Let me see, let me see!

How are we doing,
comrade Bogdan?

Really bad! we haven't been
loading any tomatoes for two days.

You just tell me the quantity.
Don't talk if I didn't ask.

The rest is organizing business.

Hey, you! Wait a moment.

We take the supply from the
market with money. It is our job.

Go back.

What is your name, comrade?

Irina Savos.

What school do you go to?

No. 25.

Did you fulfill your
duty at the countryside?

Is there any other option?

No problem. You
will do it again.

70 (seventy)

Three of them ran
away, stupid walnut.

They did't want
to stay with you.

No problem. You are welcome.

Could you give me one to try?

I will take two, so
I can smash them.

I hope I'm not bothering.
What's your name?

What does that
have to do with nuts?

Or do you want to get
along to lift the male moral?

But it would not look good for the
moral of the party, nor for your dossier.

Oh, caring for your
neighbour, thanks a lot.

And I'm really afraid that your wife is
waiting home with her hair to be done.

How is she?

She is acting like
a crazy woman.

Don't worry, I will
take care of her.

I brought the skirt.

The other one

with the long legs ? who is she?

Her best friend, Clara Milin.

What's her thing?

She is a metallurgical engineer.

Come on, leave it

Take a better look at my legs.

What's your opinion?

They feel like a baby's butt.

You know that little
one from my office

The short and fat one, Rodica.

The director calls her in
is his office and tells her...

You sure have some
real deer legs, lady!

Poor her, couldn't
be more happy.

Hairy as deer legs, lady!

Sleazy wanker.

You see? You can't stop
thinking of beauty salons.

What do you want?

What do you have?

Ice cream, lemonade,
pumkin pie, coffee.

Real coffee?

Real coffee!?
Only "Nechezol" (ironical name for the coffee surrogate with oat).

Bring me Nechezol("Whinny").(The horses eat oat and whinny)

An icecream.

Vanilla.

I'm sorry I have to leave.

I have a lot of stuff to do.

I'm leaving. I have this thing.

Don't forget the funeral.

Sure.

Yes, these ones. How much?

200.

Here, thanks.

Sorry miss! I need an advice. Which
one do you think would fit better?

With the suite?

No. With me.

None.

Forgive me.

You know when you enter the operation,
but you don't know when you go out.

We know the situation.

Lucky for you that you have
this job that gets you out of shit.

Right... here.

Liviu, your cousin
? is getting married.

Are you coming with me?

And Ana too?

He invited both of us.

I have nothing to wear.

Wear your business suit.

Did you look on the text?

I changed something, but
I'm not sure if it's alright.

I replaced "face without
a face, forehead of sand.

"Faceless face" ? but
does it fit the music?

Yes.

You couldn't let
me down that easy.

I'm so clumsy.

Help me.

How much?

Twenty.

Twenty?! That much?

Yes.

Thanks, dear, thank you!

Get out of here!
But what did I do wrong, dear?

But who is he?

Former secretary with the organizer,
he named the people for the important jobs.

Let's go, I don't like funerals.

Good day.

Good day!

Sit down.

Who's missing?

Nobody is missing today.

C'mon, Radu and
pass the text books.

Your papers are
full of mistakes.

Cristina, did you
receive your text book?

Yes.

Read your text.

"Harvesting tomatoes"

For two weeks, the
students from our school

are helping the peasants
with picking tomatoes.

Every morning I wake up, I
don't put on my school uniform.

I put on my working clothes.

I don't need any book.
Just a bottle of water.

The farmer is
already on the field.

He is tall and skinny. He has
a costume and in his hands...

Yes, thank you.

Radu, you read.

Essay. Picking tomatoes is very fun
because we can eat as many as we want.

CEAUSESCU SPEAKING STUPID THINGS

You can't keep shut miss.

You know why I called you.

Didn't you tell the children
to eat as many tomatoes,

because they wouldn't
be able to take any home.

Yes, I did.

And you told them about
exploiting child labour.

Is it not true?

You know what?

Don't act smart with me

Get you mind in order and
enough of this social justice bullshit.

I don't want them coming from townhall
and "rub my radish" because of a...

Because of a what?

Good day, how are you?

C'mon.

It's a pleasure to
meet you again miss.

How did you find me?

Researching.

Yesterday you tricked me.

I didn't tell you I'd be there.

I don't like bluffs.

Who does?

Remus, where did I send
you and where did you go?

Death be upon you if
you don't come back quick.

"Face without a face, forehead
of sand, voice without a voice,

what is left, time is left,
timeless time, what can I change?

I have one thought, what can I sell,
one of my brothers, for a cigarette,

I have one thought, what can I sell,
one of my brothers, for a cigarette.

I am crazy, I'm in love, with a loved
man, with a stupid stupid stupid man."

You hear what they are singing?

Now before the congress?

Do something. Stop them!

God dammit.

Maestro.

What are you doing to me boy?

What happened commrade?

What do you mean,
what happened!?

Is this how I greet them?

Stop them or...

Relax comrade, I
will take the blame.

Ok.

Comrades.

This afternoon...

"Bitter grass damnation, A
train whistles in the station"

Blessings Mr. Doctor.

Good day Mr. Doctor sir. do you
mind sparring a good cigarette?

For you always, take two.

Hello.

Yes Mr. Major,
he just showed up.

I'll put him on.

For you sir.

Yes, Stoian on the line.

Yes Mr. Major,
what is the problem.

At 8 I'm busy, I can't.

At half past 1.

Yes, I know where, you've
called me there before.

Dear, why are all of them white?

Because they are from Moldova.
(North-est part of Romania)

Look Mr. Aurel's isn't as white.

Yeah, but he is old.

Look, a midget!

That's more like it.

Don't you know little
guys have big cocks?

Maria, the boss called for you.

What the hell does he want?

Good day.

What were you doing?

With the bearings?

They were ordered.

That I know, I want to know
why they haven't arrived.

Squeeze that little brain of yours
and make a call. Otherwise...

Otherwise ...you have a
beautiful leg Miss Maria.

I have two beautiful
legs, Mr. Boss.

Two.

Mr. Boss. Sir...

What a crazy day.
The boss bit my leg.

Watch the coffee.

This is Clara.

Who is it?

I don't know, he didn't
recommend himself.

I thought it was my turn
to go to the boss today.

Yes?

Who?

Hey.

Now?

Right now?

Pavel, Pavel, Pavel, somebody.

Who?

Where dear?

God damn you and your corn.

This one steals, dear.

I'll stick my feet in
your mother's corn.

Irina, come here please.

Look what it says here:

"pou respecte le tenne ? reoze".

Did you read?

In 10 minutes we begin.

If someone goes missing
I will apply sanctions.

Mr. Director, the
wife is in the hospital.

We all have problems,

want me to hold
the meeting alone?

Surname, Caracioni.

Does it mean, Christmas?

Yes.

Name, Lazlo.

And Cherry?

That's what my friends call me.

So can I call you
Cherry. What do you say?

No.

"Face without a
face, forhead of sand."

Salutations.

Murgu.

Quick, we've got work.

I understand.

Well...

"Faceless face,
voiceless voice. "

What the heck is this?

I'm in love with...la
la la... bullshit la la la.

Here.

"Forhead of sand."

You mean a head
without a mind, no?

"voiceless voice." You
mean nobody listens to him?

Who does nobody listen to?

Face without a face, huh?

It means he is missing a cheek.

Who are you alluding to?

Nobody, it's just a song.

You don't say.

Then why do you sing it if
you are alluding to nobody?

Because it's a song.

Don't play word games with me.

Who are you alluding to?

Nobody.

Don't you know your buddy
Stoian spilled everything?

He didn't have anything to say.

Yeah right.

Boy, he won't tell us.

He didn't say anything
because it's not true.

Really?

Just write down who you are alluding to,
and when we are satisfied, you will leave.

Listen, don't write your uncle's
name, or I'll fuck your mother's gods.

Write.

Bye. Bye.

Clara.

What?

I wanna show you something.

What's up with you?

What happened?

First I thought
I broke the tail.

I didn't want to think
of something else.

Why the fox?

How do they know?

Quit thinking. They
have nothing to know.

Oh well.

They know very well

And they hit where it hurts.

I have this fox since
I was 10 years old.

I don't know why I wanted a fox.

When my mom told me we are
going to a nearby village to buy a fox,

I couldn't sleep.

It was a little before Christmas,
that winter it didn't really snow

It was more of a thin
layer of white powder.

In the morning the
ground was frozen.

But I didn't feel anything,
It was as if I was flying.

My poor mom could
barely keep up with me.

We took a break and
I stopped at a window.

It was the only one
without a christmas tree.

We passed through a long coridor
with walls covered in fox skins.

We were going to a room with
nothing but a bed and a chair.

The hunter came
and brought the fox.

He said it was the
biggest fox he caught.

But I wanted to see the gun.

And then he said foxes aren't
shot, they are caught in traps.

So that you don't
see a gun wound.

I was looking at him
and his hair was red.

His beard was red.

Even the hair on
his hands was red.

Do you think it was
the secret services.

Do you think I'm crazy?

Can't you see?

Sure, but why?

It's sinister.

And what we are living isn't?

Forgive me.

I shouldn't have
brought you in this story.

Let me make you a tea.

Did you check if
anything is missing?

What could be missing?

You think they are
idiots? Hold this.

Ilie is missing a lot of things.

Ilie is a man

they just wanna scare me.

Let's drop it.

If you look closely it
doesn't look too bad.

People are having
fun.

Life goes on.

But I'm afraid
nothing will happen.

How many times did I tell you
that only a miracle can save us?

Buddy, I have a theory,
the worse it is, the better it is.

Listen here, nothing will
happen till we hit rock bottom.

We've been rummaging
rock bottom for years.

You are wrong.

As long as romanians have
what to steal, they will be satisfied.

Believe me. C'mon kids, you
really think everyone thinks like us?

Ask them how they
are doing, ask them.

And watch everyone of them brag.

That's it, he is right.

I know he is right but
I can't take it anymore.

Yesterday an old lady told a young
man: If three people can eat, so can five.

And he answered: sure,
let's hope it won't be worse.

So?

So don't you feel
like strangling...

Liviu.

Hey, you know this one?

Know what?

Reagan's bodyguard jumps
in the water after a ring.

After swimming around
he comes back with the ring.

Everyone applauds.

Old Nicu(Ceausescu) throws a ring
in the water with sharks.

And signals to his security
guy to jump in the water.

The Security guy
shakes his head no.

Ceaucescu frowned.

Everyone applauded
and admired his courage.

The boy was moldovan.

Excuse me, I'm moldovan.

It was nothing father, cheers.

Cheers!

Many years ahead!

Good health!

Good health and many years!

Is this military
guy your relative?

When you wanna party all night, you
gotta invite them. There is no other way.

It's harder in the
countryside, you know?

Greetings.

Hello.

There is a terrible
storm outside.

Could I possibly stay
overnight for 20 years?

Yes sir.

Take your coat off.

Oh, What a beauty we are.

You like it?

Yes, very much.

Come, c'mon.

I wanna ask you something.

Quick because I wanna go.

I have a friend that
want to get a divorce.

Why doesn't she get one?

Because her man doesn't one.

And what are we
supposed to do about it?

She needs a lawyer but
she doesn't have money.

No money?

She is a wretch with two kids.

Two kids?

I told her I know somebody.

Who? Who?

You.

You can do it, right?

I can't.

Why?

I can't.

Why?

How do you know I'm a lawyer?

You told me.

But I'm not a lawyer.

I'm from the secret services.

Major.

What?

What?

Why are you shut?

Say something.

Say something!

You heard well, what is it?

Why are you quiet? Say something.

Speak!

If you knew you wouldn't
have let me touch you, huh?

Baldy escaped.

You're a pig.

Yes.

I know.

An hour ago I was a
man, now I am a pig.

And a big one.

No problem.

You slug, why
aren't you focused?

Bonsoir.

Daddy is home!

Good evening.

Hi daddy.

Hi.

What goods have you brought?
And why are you so late?

Daddy has word to do, dear.

How was our essay? Tell me.

The teacher asked who helped me.

You could've called.

On what phone?

You think these come
on their own to the office?

I have to go, work for it...

Give it back, what's
your problem?

It won't make her any smarter.

Thanks.

What have you heard
about my shoes?

After Christmas
surely I'll have them.

You were supposed to get them.

I talked to that
wise guy director.

All you had to do was go, dear.

All I did was go, but do you
think somebody looked at me?

Why?

Because the wife of the secretary
was there with the manager.

And all morning they were
were following her ass.

She tried on shoes
until she got sick.

Nothing fit her. At her weight of
100kg, only rubber boots would fit.

You will have shoes dear, I will
make a note and arrange a meeting.

You don't care, who knows
when you will arrange a meeting.

What do you want dear,
you want shoes right now?

Now, you want them now?

I can't eat because you
have no shoes, right?

Can I eat in peace?

Now we want peace. You're
either gone or you want peace.

Go to the table.

Leave me alone.

Come to the table now.

I cook all day like a cow so
you can mock me and my food?

Leave me alone, go to...

Leave me alone,
go do your stuff.

Leave the tv...

Are you tired
from chasing sluts?

Are you crazy with lies?

Go to hell and leave me alone.

Here smell it, smell it!

Smell this, smell
it. Is it my perfume?

What do you want?

You f*cking fornicator.

Smell, Smell, Smell.

Bloody histerical woman.

Good day.

Good day. Who
are you looking for?

Comrade Pavel Murgu.

Is he waiting for you?

Yes.

Who should I say
is looking for him?

Millin.

Comrade major, comrade
Milin is here for you sir.

Yes, sir.

Can you give me a cigarette?

Here.

One for the soul
and one for the heart.

You can walk around.

Tell him I will be at
the cafe bar nearby.

Sure.

Good day.

Hello. What do you
care, it's warm, eh?

Eat Johnny, but don't
go. We got work to do.

Sit, sit, sit.

And you, nothing.

Greetings Mitzi.

Ah, Vasile the great.

Cheers.

How's life going?

Can you buy us a drink sir?

Mitzi, give the
boys what they like.

To life.

What are pleasure.

I'm happy to see you, but I'm
afraid this is the wrong place.

They will think
you're something else.

And where was I to find you?

You didn't leave a phone
number, nothing. The only...

Yes Mitzi.

And for you?

Miss?

Nothing.

Two instant coffees.

Sure.

The only thing I
know about you is this.

The bad part is here
we can't really talk.

Cheers.

I understand I have to go.

Not so quick, dear.

Pretend you came in to
communicate something...

Cheers.

You know.

You mean like a spy?

Yeah something like that.

Then I will communicate
I'm pregnant.

Greetings.

Mrs. Mitzi was a great singer.

A great man, a great man I tell you.

There are few people with a
heart as good as comrade major.

Do you have a good cigarette?

What's with you,
something happened?

All kinds of things
are happening.

Exactly nothing is happening,
we are just tricking ourselves.

oh well.

C'mon now.

I have a feeling we
are living corpses.

What brings you here?

In fact I saw Clara this
morning at the gynecologist.

As you can see I came
straight to an oncologist.

Give me a medical leave.

Your lucky I'm alive.

I have to see Ilie.

I didn't ask for what.

How long?

Three days.

That's only the
road there and back.

When are you going?

Tomorrow morning.

It will be good for Ilie.

Good day!

I want an apple!

Go to sleep!

C'mon give the boy an apple!

Is it good?

It's cold.

Don't mind if I ask,
who you are going to?

To a soldier.

And what is the name
of this soldier of yours?

Dolga.

Dolga who?

Ilie.

Now I get why he doesn't
like it here with us...

"Last Night of Love, First
Night of War", is it nice?

Depends.

Private Dolga!

Yes sir!

You have a visit!

Thank you!

Hey!

Are you ok?

Yeah.

When did you leave?

At 5.

It?s kinda hard to get here.

The train ride was worse.

My brain was freezing.

Yeah, winter has come.

When we go out with the
tanks we freeze like turds.

What's this?

What you asked for.

True

Out here you can?t tell
yesterday from today.

You go nuts.

This week we were with
the tanks out in the field.

What field? It all
looks like empty space.

Field ? field.

Here everywhere is the field.

Beyond the forest is a hill.

When we went up with the tank we had
to get out and put rocks behind the tracks.

When we went down the hill we
had to put rocks in front on the trucks.

Finally it stopped. We all fell to the
ground and we didn?t move till evening.

The tank is still
out on the field.

If the Russians waited
for Ceaucescu?s tanks,

they wouldn?t have
made it to Prague.

And you? What are you up to?

Nothing.

The usual.

I couldn?t wait to see you

but all of a sudden in
the train I got scared.

I fell asleep and dreamed a fox
that was walking in a big tilled field.

The fox was walking
and eating fresh dirt.

You haven?t had a
dream in a long time.

You are still scared.

To me it?s all the same.

I don?t think of anything.

Not even me...

Let?s go outside

This speaker is
driving me crazy.

I kept on thinking
if I should tell you.

Now I?m on ?their" radar.

I don?t know what to do.

They are cutting
my fox to pieces.

When I escape
from here I?ll run away.

Are you crazy? They will shoot you!

You'll come with me!

Do you wanna wait for
them to cut the whole fox?

And what do you wanna do? Go
to Vienna and sweep the streets?

If I have to I?ll do it.

Ilie, don?t you understand
there is no good place for us?

You'll come with me!

No alcohol before 10.

Excuse me?

No alcohol before 10!

But I wanna drink now.

Eh, many want to but
they can?t. What to do...

I can?t have one?

No no.

What?s with you?
Something wrong?

Take your coat off.

Want a coffee, hm?

No, I wanna drink.

A Schnaps?

Can I stay?

No problem.

I was just about to go;
Ana is going too.

You will stay by yourself
in the whole house.

Better take the
key and lock me in.

What is it dear,
what?s gotten in to you?

Can?t you see it?s morning?

What do you want
me to kick her out?

Let?s go. I can?t look at
the water; It makes me sick.

Good thing you didn?t puke.

I only puked once.

Good evening.

Paul saw you at the clinic.

Yes, I was pregnant.

And you officially
scraped it out at the clinic?

Pavel knows a doctor.

Is this Pavel a doctor himself?

No, he is a lawyer.

Why didn?t you tell me anything?

Because he is married.

And since when is that a reason?

Why are you hiding him from me?

Because he is married.

Swear it?

I identified the guy that
hooked up with Clara.

He is not a lawyer.

I asked someone to look
him up in the court records.

No trace of Pavel Murgu.

There is a Adriana Murgu.

But Cherry knows someone...

that had an interesting
conversation with him.

Does he have gray hair
and a big mole here?

No, I don?t know him.

Better, I wouldn?t want you to.

This Murgu guy...

is a Security man.

He interrogated Cherry.

He knows the song Face
Without a Face by heart,

and he wanted to know
what we are alluding to.

What are we alluding to?

I see you are in a
hurry. Here you go!

You first!

I like you!

I understand.

Do you mind?

There are plenty of benches.

I wanna sit here.

I?ve been watching
you for a while.

I?ve been wanting to
f*ck you for a while now.

Surely you f*ck well. What?

Go away!

You don?t think I can f*ck you?

Oh, then I will
just say goodbye.

Wait a second, I?m
changing the gear.

Hey, is this what we agreed to?

Here, take 100...

and get your ass here.

Lights!

They stole the lights, they cut
the light, they took our bulbs.

Was that Pavel?

What are you talking about?

You know this guy
is in the secret police?

Why don?t you say anything?

Why are you mute? Huh?

Relax, wait I will tell you.

Tell me what?

What else is there to say?

You know I wouldn?t
do you any harm,

he wouldn?t either. I know
him he is a good man.

He promised not to hurt you.

I told him I will stay with
him if nothing happens to you.

Aaa, so you will stay with him
only if nothing happens to me.

Like a sacrifice for me, right?

Aren't you ashamed of yourself?

And the fox!?

Maybe he will tell
you why it?s cut up!

And the others?

Your man protected
them until they died!

And you sleep around with him!

What am I supposed
to do, I love him!

You cow!

You don?t even...

You don?t even know him.

I don?t wanna know him or you!

Romania! Romania!

Romania! Romania!

Romania! Romania!

Irina, I know you're
home! Open please!

Stop the nonsense, Irina!

It is something serious.

Gico! Open the f*cking
door you bloody whore!

You wicked man! You?re
drunk again like a pig.

What the hell do
you want me to do?

Irina, they are arresting
people, they have a list.

Please come with me. Cut the crap.
- Clara

Listen up, nobody leaves or
enters or you?re in big trouble.

Listen! bring this file quick...

Give it! Thanks.

But where?

To reanimation.

Now you are free for good.

Watch out for wise guys, so they
don?t f*ck up our spiel; Like Dr. Stoian.

Bring the patients.

Put everyone in their
rooms and let them stare!

You?ll find me at Stanculescu.

Got it boss.

Check your gadgets.

Be good!

Don?t pull! Don?t pull!

Be good!

Don?t pull!

Don?t pull!

Sit!

We are going to Liviu.

Adi, you have to
hide. They have lists!

I?ll stay. They have
no problems with me.

Can?t you see it?s not a joke?

In the end the devil
will still get ?em.

Or us.

I gotta go.

Wait

I?m heading out too.

And see what?s the matter with Cherry.

Give me that please.

What do you have there?

Present your identification!

Yes!

Liviu!

Who is it?

Who is it?

Yes, cousin, yes!

Hurry up and open the door!

Speak of the wolf
and he is at the door!

You went to bed at the same
time with the chickens, huh?

Greetings! Welcome!
Hello cousin!

Just last night we
were talking about you.

You hardly come around here.

It is what it is.

Let?s go to the kitchen,
here is the freezer.

You came with the car? Let
me open the gate and let you in.

It?s better that way.

I?m leaving in the
morning with the first ride.

Take care of Irina.

Cousin, you know what?s best!

Stay calm, leave Irina here.
Now let?s eat.

Don?t turn on the lights
before pulling the blinds.

It would be wise not to be
in the yard during the day.

It would be wise not to be
in the yard during the day.

No thank you, I have my own.

Then good night!

God I?m exhausted!

The pot!

And don?t forget to put
some wood on the fire later.

Good night!

Don?t forget to wake me
up in the morning. Ok?

I will. Good night!

What?s up with them?

What do you mean? Nothing.

They seem to have problems.

When you went to the
car, Irina barely said a word.

They have to stay
a couple of days.

But why, what happened?

What happened?

It?s crazy in Timisoara.
They are being chased.

And what if they were
seen entering our house?

Who saw them at night?

I just don?t want
us to get in trouble.

Now that you were voted
to be secretary of the party.

What do you want Doina?

He is my cousin.

What should I do?

Forgive me, but I have to do it.
I?ve been holding it for a while.

The worst thing is the sound.

Should I whistle?

My old man always whistled
when the horses peed.

Dumbass.

Greetings!

Hi!

Where is Paul, did he go?

No, he is sleeping.

Things are really bad in
Timisoara; don?t let him go.

I have to go to school I have
a few more classes. Good bye!

Why didn?t you wake me up?

I should?ve been gone by now.

Paul, it?s too risky to leave.

Liviu came and said
it?s havoc in Timisoara.

Radio: ...more than yesterday,
the whole population

of Timisoara knew something
was going to happen.

On the side of the road people are clapping
with tears in their eyes.

How great it is to live times like this!
I never thought I?d see something like this.

Stop! Where are you
going? Are you crazy?

Run me over if you
wanna go! Run me over!

I?m not moving, I?m not moving!

Where are you going?

Move outta the way!

I ain?t moving! What
don?t you understand?

Are you crazy? You
want them to shoot you?

Move out of the way!

I?m not moving! Hit
me, c?mon hit me!

Get outta here!

I?m not moving! You
are not going anywhere!

Why didn?t you let them go?

Why did you interfere?

Nothing will happen to them.

They know many people...
Paul is a doctor.

What about us?

Ever since the fox thing
my nails are growing faster.

You are laughing as a fool.

Fine, no more laughing.

I saw it in school.

The poor kids...

Nails and hair grew
faster, than the other kids.

When you live in fear, your
hair and nails grow faster.

CEAUSESCU: In this afternoon, I
want to address to the whole people

of our socialist motherland regarding the events
that are taking place.

I told you we won?t
get rid of him.

Y?all said he will stay in Iran.

Look at him.

He will bury us all, listen to me.

Liviu!

What is it!?

Come over here.

Now?

Yeah, bring me some wood.

These were acts of terrorism;
organized and started by imperialist

reactionary groups, and foreign
spies from various countries.

Cousin, I think it?s best
we mind our own business.

What do you want to do?

Can?t you see and hear?

Maybe you think
I?m opportunistic.

Maybe I am

But would you be here?

It is clear the events of this campaign against Romania
is part of a bigger more general plan

against the
independence and sovereignty of nations.

Irina, I?m scared.

What is gonna happen with us now?

Here everyone knows
everything about the neighbors.

Leave me alone!

If we stay here any longer,
you?ll become a real housewife!

Leave me alone.

Paul, stop!

You have regrets?

Can you leave me alone?

Are you sick of me?

Or scared of me?

Paul stop!

Maybe you?ll never
see him again.

Shut up!

Or maybe we are gonna have
to escape and cross the border.

Maybe they aren?t
even looking for us.

Shut the f...!

Irina, wait!

Leave me alone!

Wait I said!

I wanna go now.

Go where? Are you crazy?
You want to get killed?

I want to go there.

Where, you idiot?

Where?

He left; he ran away!

Ceausescu escaped, don?t
you understand? He ran!

Where to?

I don?t know, I just
heard on the radio.

He allegedly went to
China; to hell with him

Let?s watch the TV now!

Ceausescu ran away,
Irina. He ran away!

We are free!

Tv: Thanks to God we are
in the television studio.

We managed to get behind the tanks and army

with students and the people
you see here and thousands of Romanians.

I told you we made
it! We are free! Brandy!

Doina, bring that good
plum brandy!

Kisses to you my friend!

Woman!

(Singing the communist song "Internationala")

Oh God, I can?t
believe we are free!

Why are you crying?

Because.

And what are they doing?

Singing.

TV: The dictator has ran away!

(Singing about emptying bottles)

C?mon Irina join us!

Irina

Let?s go.

Go where?

Stay another week.

Nobody is leaving.

C?mon stay.

C?mon Paul.

No, she is right. Let's go.

Irina?

What? You?re gonna leave now

Do what in Timisoara?

Group: Ole ole ole ole,
Ceausescu ran away!

Remove the tunic!

Nicu, are you crazy?

Take it off!

Good

Now the leggings.

Take them off or
you?ll go to hell.

What?s this?

What, you don?t like
it? It?s me in a uniform.

You are insane.

You talk like a goat.
Everything stinks to you.

I can?t.

None of them came around here.

Your guardian angel, Clara.

Don?t be unjust with her.

Want a tea?

I?ll have a glass of water.

Can I stay over your place?

Of course.

What the hell is happening?

Who is shooting who?

I don?t know.

I don?t understand
anything anymore.

Can?t you see
everything is crazy?

Hello.

There is a terrible strom outside,
do you have a spare room?

I could stay 25 years with you.

Where are you?

Vienna.

Where?

In Vienna.

Are you ok?

Yes, I?m fine.

I miss you. Get a passport
right away! Look for John.

You are crazy.

You don?t know
what it?s like here.

it's like in war

That?s why I need you to
leave as soon as possible.

Where to go Pavel?

I?ll call you again.

Someone will come and
tell you what you need to do

When you have your passport...

Greetings!

I was worried
about our rebellion

but what we went through...

Only God knows.

I see you got food?

Anything good?

My wife is sick in bed.

I have to go.

I wish her good health.

Good bye!

C?mon where the hell were you.
You were supposed to be here by now.

Give me a break. Can?t
you see they are shooting?

Adi doesn?t know
anything either.

I don?t know what the hell is
going on. Lots of crazy shit.

Some are saying the
water supply has been

poisoned by Ceausescu?s
hired Arabs, I dunno.

I don?t know any prayers granny,

And it?s a little
too late to learn.

Could you dissect these bodies?

It would be worse than
If I dissected my parents.

How could you say that?

I know it?s not the
same thing, but...

TV: Ceausescu Elena, sentenced
to death and confiscated her wealth.

I don?t know, but when I look
at them, I don?t see a body.

The sentence was executed.

Their hearts are now cemeteries.

full of dead people

Like tiny frozen raspberries.

I?m appalled, and I pity them

Where does all this pity come
from; after all we?ve been through?

Don?t burn the frames children.

Yeah, you?re right. Maybe
we will use it for another leader.

I?ve been waiting
for this moment!

I couldn?t tell.

What was I to
do? I have a child.

I know, men have wives, women
have kids, and kids are hungry.

Good thing it?s over.

It?s over...

But I'm afraid our
life is kinda f*cked.

What?s with you?

I wanted to see you.

I kept thinking about you.

I was afraid you were
gonna get hurt or something.

Didn?t your man promise
nothing will happen to me?

Where is he now?

He left you?

No

He ran away.

Of course

Just like a rat.

He could?ve told you
what happened to Cherry

Or what is left of him.

He didn?t shoot, Irina.
He promised me he didn?t.

Wicked people swear.

Is there someone to prove
he shot? Nobody shot.

He told me he
only fired in the air.

And the air was in the lungs. Go see
his big beautiful picture wanted picture.

Where did he run?

To Vienna.

They will find him.

They will find him.

But what do want?

Think about me too.

You know what Clara?

On that day you told
me you thought about me,

it was your birthday

I wanted to give you something

and I realized I have
nothing else to give to.

This is it.

Cheers!

Good thing we are free!

God bless!

It?s strong!

From my father.

Mommy, look a cat!

That?s not a cat, it?s a fox.

What is it?

They are doing it again.

They cut the fox?s head.

Damn them!

How is Cherry now?

Up there on his belly

looking down on us.

What do you have against us, God?
