And on Tuesday,
it all starts again...

Good afternoon.

Kristýna, didn't the doctor
tell you not to bring that here?

There's no one here anymore -
everyone's left.

Not on the premises! Not your dog,
not your goats - no fur, no feathers!



Pindo…

Pindo…

Pindo!

Pinda!

Pinda.

Yes, Pinda.

Dad!

Dad!

I've already got names for them
- Pinda and Minda!

Pinda and Minda!

This is our head physician - Kristof.

And this is my uncle, he works
here as a supply manager.

This is my aunt, she cooks here.

And this is Maria. She does the laundry.

IT BEGINS

Red, hey, don't be afraid.

"Lausanne"... From my mother. She wants
me to go and live with her in Switzerland.

Red… Red!

Don't worry. Everything will be fine.

Now then.

Here…

Stop that!

Stop it! Don't touch that! Stop it!

I'm not going anywhere!

- When are you coming back?
- In a month.

I hope you won't forget me.

I'll be back in a few weeks.

- Lojza, what about your folks?
- They only come for Christmas.

- Why are you all wrapped up?
- My clothes wouldn't fit in a bag.

So I'll just have to wear them.

Another pair of dumbbells.

Not those - gymnastic ones.

- These ones?
- Yeah.

And put in the ribbon streamers.

- Batons?
- Yeah.

- Isn't that too much? - I don't
want to get out of shape, grandma.

- Another skipping rope?
- Why do I need it?

It'll come in handy!

- Well, yes, you will train in a cast!
- Oh mum, it'll be removed in three weeks.

And she's used to training hard, right?

- Another swimsuit?
- Yes, the new one.

You should have heard what Monica's
mother said after that unfortunate fall!

"Oh, poor Sandra, ankles don't
always heal so well, and she was...

...so looking forward to the championship!
Isn't that right, Mrs Lormanová?"

Monica pretended to be terribly sorry.
But in fact, she was very happy.

Poor baby...

Come on, eat faster, they won't
give you as much as you want.

We put schnitzels in your bag.

If you run out of money -
call us, we'll send a parcel.

Hello! Dad, it's Lojza!

Hello.

- Did you get my letter?
- The horsey one?

- Why "horsey"?
- It smelled like a stable.

No, it couldn't have!

Udlínek, the postman asked when you'd
come to pick up a registered letter.

I didn't know about it.

I would have taken the letter, but it
is strictly to be delivered "to his hand".

From Switzerland, you know?

- What does she want?
- A divorce, or her daughter.

Our place!

She's not going to be lucky.
Kristýna loves it here.

Phew!-Awesome-ness!

- You do rhythmic gymnastics? - Yes, she
was selected for the World Championship.

Last year.

I wanted to ask, doctor: do
you have a fitness centre here?

Sandra and I are here together.
I, for squash, she, for her condition.

Do you have anything like that?

- Frequent inflammation of the respiratory tract?
- She just catches a lot of colds.

But, fortunately, nothing serious.
Yes, Sandra?

I bought an excellent
homeopathic remedy in Switzerland.

You know, these capsules.

No side effects - fantastic!

Imagine if she got sick -
that would be horrible!

Months of intensive
training...

...early rises, self-restraint
and all that...

Inflammation of the upper
airways? - then it's over!

For a clear favourite, illness
could ruin her whole future.

- Well, yes. It'd be a black day for her.
- That's it! That's what I'm talking about!

Don't worry, we have a
gym in the main building.

That's great.

Lojza!

This lad's an old friend. His whole
barnyard of friends are here already.

Well, I didn't know that such a star
would honour us with her presence!

I'll go to the gym
sometime to see her train.

- My parents send you their regards.
- Are they still in Morocco?

No, they're in India now!

Well, yes, his father was an
adventurer even when he was in college.

Well, clearly. I wanted
to ask you, doctor...

...could you put Sandra on a diet?

A couple of extra pounds would
immediately affect her performance.

- Something came with the mail.
Where is it? - Goat...

You see…

...the goat ate it.

If I don't pick up the
letter, they'll return it.

As if the addressee is missing...
Or... unknown.

Uh... don't you wonder
what's in the letter?

Good goat!

It's for the night time, if he
goes crazy. He's very sensitive.

He's smart, but sometimes childish -
sometimes overreacts.

So... I believe this one's yours.

You take such good care of him.

And what about the laryngitis?

That's why he's here, doctor.

Allergology and psychiatry
are often closely related.

More than patients think.

Isn't that so, colleague?

Will we be behind bars here?

I beg you to be tolerant with him.

Nurse Svatá will take good care of David.
She'll tell you in detail about everything else.

Next!

Good day. Good day.

Well, here we are again. The kids
have been looking forward to this.

"The kids have been
looking forward to this"?

Go to the nurse.

- What's your name?
- Me? Hynek Ougrabka.

The girls are upstairs.

No need to play with the ball here!

This is David, the new one.

- I don't know you.
- I'm David Feyfar.

Bad little Foxl!

- Whom can I help unpack?
- Please, unpack mine.

Of course, Foxl.

Watch out for the mirror!

Well, go upstairs.

- Did you hurt yourself?
- Yes, my hand, but it's fine.

Take some bread and be off.

- You need a divorce. Then there'd be
no problems. - On no account! I'd lose Kristýna.

Don't be crazy.

If things stay the same, she'll
just steal your daughter from you.

Haven't you read about
this sort of thing?

- Is that fresh?
- Of course. We have everything fresh.

She has money for lawyers.
How could we get her back from abroad?

Now she has money,
tomorrow perhaps not.

- I don't eat meat.
- Then give it to your brother.

- Good day!
- Right. Here's your tea...

Good day.

What if Renata wants to remary? Then you,
as her legal husband, represent an obstacle.

And don't be surprised
if Maria avoids you.

She's a decent girl, and
you're still a married man!

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

- How many bathrobes do we need?
- The usual, Maria.

What?

Can I help you?

I'll help you.

Can you iron?

Your coffee's getting cold.

Yes. Thanks.

- Pass me the book.
- Yeah.

Those boys are shouting so much!
They're crazy, aren't they?

Yes. And so are you,
if you listen to them.

She has the best bed,
and she still complains!

Do you want to change with me?

Absolutely not. No one's
going to bother me here.

I can't hear your
brother amongst that lot.

- What's his name?
- Štěpán.

- Does he have a girlfriend at home?
- What do you care?

I don't care.

I'll write them a note
telling them not to yell.

You won't be able
to give it to them.

The nurse will catch you -
her door is open.

"Hey guys, we can hear you
yelling, and it's unbearable!

"We live above you:
Sandra, Klaudie and Denisa.

I'm Pavlína Zhabigoldova. What's your name?
Question: Is Štěpán going out with anyone?

- What cow is doing this?
- Is that you, Foxl?

Girls, Foxl lives under us!

Come on, get on with it!

Drop it lower!

- Shut up!
- Shut up yourself!

What a cow!

Boys, decent people don't talk like that! What
are these expressions? Come on, go to sleep!

And you girls as well. Quickly, in bed!

We're playing "Hush, horse."

One, two, three.

Martina!

Enough.

Lojza, no talking!

Are people still being
given that name? "Alojz"...

- We don't have a single Alojz in our class.
- But this class is all about Sandra!

Yes? Well, isn't it?

On my cast is my coach's signature.

She's a celebrity.

At one time she was the world champion.

- Can we sign it? - Me too!
- What are you famous for?!

Girls, you're pathetic.

What if someone is famous for
exactly that - being pathetic?

Are you looking for someone?

Looking for your kids?

Your kids?

No, we're tourists.

We look up... And down.
Up... down.

Right... left.
Right... left.

And we roll our eyes.

Right... left.

Take a deep breath.

Finished.

- Why?
- Because I'm hungry.

We're hungry too!

- Hello.
- Hello.

- Minda. And Pinda.
- That's great!

And I have a spider.

Look. Here's the spider...

Stop lurking!

Stop lurking!

You're such a sissy, aren't you?

Foxl! Ougrabka! Go to lunch!

- It's a pity my horse isn't here.
- I've never ridden.

I'll teach you. You'll be
riding like an Apache!

- Like an Apache?
- Like an Apache!

- Are you going to
your mother's? - No.

- I'd go. - Dad says that
then I'd never come back.

She writes to me to ask me to
let her know how things are going.

She sends me clothes.

But I don't wear them.

When my grandmother died, my
mother received a big inheritance.

Now she's rich.
That's what my aunt says.

- Then you could live like lords.
- Well…

Grandpa was a kind of nobleman.
And everything here belonged to him.

Did your grandma look like a noblewoman?

- What?
- Did she look aristocratic?

I only saw her once.

When she brought
mother to Switzerland.

...Who stayed for quite a while!

- Hello!
- Ahoy!

They're so cute!

We also have a kitten at home.
A ginger one.

This is Minda, and Pinda.

Do you know this?...

"The dwarf Stupid has a cork,
a button and a whistle!"

Here's what we do...

Get ready!

Phew!-Awesome-ness!
