WHERE STARS FALL

Written by
Markéta Zinnerová

Director
Jan Hřebejk

Parents often write to
us at the sanatorium.

But Hynek's doesn't, even though
he writes to them every day.

Foxl stole a letter written by him
and since then...

...he pretends Hynek
is entirely under his paw.

He's unbearable.



Why is your father in prison?

I won't blab. Honest!
For murder?

Ougrabka! Come on, stop it!

But most of all I'm
annoyed by 'The Cast'.

She says that because I can’t slip
away at night, I’m a coward.

Her grandmother came to see her. She
lives in the same hotel as these Swiss guys.

I'd really like to know why
they are hanging around here.

Kristýna helped me get out
of the sanatorium at night.

We even got past the head physician.

What's this?!

Nothing. He's helping
me with the laundry.

Her family has the keys to the chapel where
I was supposed to spend the night for a bet.

I'd rather not - she tells me stories all
the time about boys being found buried!

Dad will come back at about 11 -
I'll stay with you until them.



Pretty ugly!

'The Cast' would receive the
proof that I was there.

Only the rusty lock got jammed,
and we couldn't get out.

And besides that, it got
really bad for me in there.

BAD NEWS

My own bus.

How much did they pay you to
take away this piece of junk, mate?

You'll also say that the loan was
extortionate, but wait a month!

- Are the doors not working?
- No, but the wipers work brilliantly! Look!

A car's what you need.

Ladya, you're such a fool, buddy!

The old woman was angry that another branch
of the family had stolen the castle from them.

But she still had the rest of the estate.

She sold it for hard cash,
and lived for her own pleasure.

She invited Renata to visit.

The baby was sick then, so they
left her at home with Ladya.

Renata went by herself.

- Without her?!
- Without her.

A woman - and a mother -
leaving a sick child!

- Listen, leave her alone!
- Don't defend her!

I'm not saying anything,
Renata is a nice girl, but...

...the old woman got it into her
head that they were the elite.

I too am an elite!
People are people.

Do you know who her husband was?
Old Kouba - a tailor!

He was a very good person.

So he died in order to not
have to listen to her chatter.

- Kristýna...
- Is Kristýna there?

And the old woman, whose last name was
Koubova, which she got from her husband,

changed it to "von Proskovets".

She bought herself an apartment
in Lausanne and hired a secretary.

- God, why does she need a secretary?
- I don't know.

Only he is not a secretary,
but a real lamprey!

Yes, a lamprey.

Well, was it worth the money?

- He really needs a car. - Yes?
- If he can fix it up, then fine!

My brother got a bus.

- Listen, would you like
to go out with me? - Yes!

- But… you're too fat.
- Look who's talking!

Watch out - snake!

So what's your dad's occupation?

Would you like to listen
to my walkman?

Snitch!

Girls, do you want to play
mother and daughter?

Bye baby!

Hello.

Girls, do you know what a "lamprey" is?

- A seashell.
- You're a seashell!

It's a fish. Like a snake,
but with wide jaws.

It bites another fish right on the gills,
swims with it everywhere and sucks its blood.

- Can't the fish shake it off?
- By saying 'excuse me'?!

Will she drink all its blood?
Just think!

Like a water vampire!

I'm off elsewhere...

Shh! The doctor's here.

- You know I'm not allowed here?
- Yes, indeed.

- How's your leg?
- It's got a hematoma.

I lost her head, so I inserted
a light bulb instead.

It looks awful.

- Listen, have you seen the movie "Battery"?
- Yeah.

Well, it really can be done. Look.

- Gosh! How do you do that?
- It's easy. Try it.

It doesn't work.

You need to concentrate your
energy in your palms and fingertips.

And then channel the
energy into the light bulb.

- Like this?
- Yeah.

Concentrate!

It really glows!

- How does it work?
- Energy!

It's hidden inside everyone.

Amazing!

Go out!

- Did you get a telling off?
- Yeah. And you?

- Have you hear the news?
- What?

- The bouquet from the chapel is
now in The Cast's dorm. - Yes!

It'll make no difference -
she's thick-skinned.

We haven't seen each other in a long time!
You must be out in 60 seconds.

59… 58…

Papa went to the post office
for a letter from Lausanne...

...and he was told there that the
letter had already been sent back.

And those two guys aren't going to kidnap me
after all. They want to buy everything here.

Are they're both Swiss?
Hold on, what do you mean "everything"?!

Well, the sanatorium and more.

I told you it was my mum's property.

Buyers have showed up before, but dad scared
them off with his contract with the Ministry of Health.

Do you know what a "lamprey" is?
- What? - That's the secretary.

- Will you come again?
- Yes. Bye.

Don't mess with the rheostat.

Pull up your shirt.

Breathe in... breathe out...

- Have you and Kristýna been kissing?
- I'm just happy!

What? Because she gave you
the keys to the chapel?

Getting in trouble for a girl!...

I still like her! Even
if you send me home!

I'm not talking about Kristýna.

Aren't you ashamed that Sandra
managed to incite you to such stupidity?

So you know everything?

Everyone knows!

Ugh, what a stupid...

Look!

This is the bouquet from the chapel. Right?

So, it is!

Head Physician.

- What's wrong?
- I want to go home.

Can I call his parents? He still hasn't
received a single letter from them.

If you need to, call later.

My friend, sore throat, coughs...

Can you remember under what
circumstances this started?

Well, or at least when it became
difficult for you to breathe?

Mum really didn’t want to let me go to
the stable, because she thinks I'm too soft.

And dad told her that a jockey
must be tougher than his horse.

When I turn 15, my grandfather
will give me a harness.

- Tomorrow I'll take you for a check-up.
- For the leg?

For that too.

Mr doctor! Mr doctor!

Mr doctor! She was in hospital,
she didn't want to scare me!

She was discharged yesterday,
she's already sent me a letter.

There, you see!

- We have a camera!
- Great!

Hurry up, come on! You look like an Indian.

- Come on!
- On my God, look! Look what you've done!

Look! Do you see?!
Can't you even wait a minute?!

No!

Hurry up!

- With flash or without? - To me it's
all the same, so long as it works.

Yeah, alright.

God, is that taking pictures?!

Fiddlesticks!

Must you do that when I'm not ready?!

You will never be a photographer!

Give it here!

- Skinny scarecrow!
- And you're a poor sick boy!

Listen, what have you been doing?

I'll keep it - it has my coach's signature on it.

The X-ray is fine.

Hematoma, bruised calcaneus...

He'll have to spend a week in bed.

I understand it hurts now. But you'll
gradually be able to increase the pressure on it.

The X-ray please.

And on this side things
are much worse! Look!

Comminuted fracture of the ankle...

Plantar flexion and extension
are significantly limited.

- Why is the leg so skinny?
- The muscles have atrophied.

- We can exercise it.
- I definitely will!

But you have to come here
three times a week for rehab.

- Can my grandmother come with me?
- Well…

She said that she would work with
me if you showed her the exercises.

- I suppose this has the agreement of
the chief physician. - That's correct.

Well, you certainly know
how to pick a grandmother!

Well, let me carry you, amateur jockey!

You see, he has a problem with histamine.
Since the pollen was positive...

...I also pricked him with “horse”.
That too had a "good run".

And positive for feathers.
And for cats, as well.

We'll check him for ticks tomorrow,
it doesn't seem like it so far.

"Positive" - that's good, right?
- Not really.

Lojza, it looks like you're allergic.

- Which means it's all over with horses.
- What do you mean "all over"?!

Give me another.

Are you by any chance Kristýna?

Yes…

- Delicious, isn't it?
- Yes…

How is Red?

He's already grown up, right?

You know, Red. Woof!

- How do you know about him?
- Your mum told me about you.

Recognise this?

It's hers. Where did you get it?

Please, ma'am!

- Well, get in!
- No! No! No, let me go!

Calm down! Is something terrible
happening? We're going to your dad's.

- The 14!
- Ladya... - Well?

- Did you go to the Smetana hotel?
- Well... - Did you go or not?!

They left you a business card,
don't pretend you don't know.

If they want me,
they'll come to me.

- Screwdriver! - Do you know
what they asked the doctor about?

How much the sanatorium brings in!
Do you understand?!

They talked to the doctor, and you
thought they wanted to kidnap Kristýna!

Enough! Someone has to
worry about her, if you don't care!

In addition, Krasova said, they were looking
up something in the inventory! Understand?

Well, if they searched well
enough, then they'll know...

...that not a single flower bed
here belongs to me!

- To you, no - but Renata, yes!
- Really!

And from whom else can they get this...
information, if not from her husband?

You think we're foolish?! You should
at least find out what's going on!

Oh, they're here! And with Kristýna!

Hello dad! Hi aunt!

He doesn't know, maybe?

That's impossible!
I personally sent him a message.

The reconstruction was completely carried out
by the Ministry of Health and the municipality.

So they have the right to use the
sanatorium for free for some years.

The head physician and the supply manager
will tell you the same thing.

Well, if you figure
out how much money...

...is required for repairs
and maintenance...

...you will understand that your
sanatorium will never pay off.

I wouldn't take it for free!

You can't make money from the children, and as
for the building, that's covered by the contract.

Actually, I'm not surprised
that Renata wants to sell it.

Although... it is wonderful here!

Mr Udlínek! The doctor here
is your wife's lawyer.

- Do you really not know what's happened?
- What?

Let's talk, come on!

Girls, come here!

Sandra! Sandra's back!

Look! Sandra!

Carefully, carefully...

Girls, Sandra's here!

Hello!

You should return the
bouquet to the chapel.

But I didn't steal it!
Whoever took it, let him return it!

So "thick-skinned"!

Girls! Throw me that bouquet
from the chapel.

Or better yet - bring it to me.

Well?

- Sandra!
- What now?

You definitely don't suffer
from excessive humility!

- So what's wrong with you?
- I don't know.

Maybe you should shake hands?

Lojza, the future gentleman...
the future lady...

She's no lady,
but a ragged old goat!

Come on!

Hello!

It'll be easier now, won't it?

What a fine young man you are!
I would've been scared!

Will you take it to the chapel?

- He stole it for me, in any case.
- He stole it because he's crazy.

But brave.

The message was in that letter.

I never got it from the post office.

And I think she's having
hanky-panky with her secretary.

Because ever since the old
woman Koubova... excuse me...

...Baroness Proskovets -
got this man...

...Renata hasn't spoken about
anyone else. In letters it's always:

"The secretary organized", "the secretary
acquired" - the secretary is everywhere!

- What if he likes her?
- Oh please!... her or her money?!

- You always see right through everyone.
- It's strange.

Listen: a woman - and a mother herself -
wants to sell a sanatorium for children!

Is that normal?!
I can't understand it!

I thought…

The gentleman meant that, given your
situation, this would be your way out.

- Consider it.
- Well…

We'll talk more about this.
I'll seek you out later.

My sincere condolences. And goodbye.

- Well?
- Is Kristýna here?

- No. - She went to the
chapel to return the bouquet.

She's in the chapel.

- Krisy...
- Hi, dad!

My little Kristýna...

If I ever said anything bad about
your mother, please forgive me.

She's died.

She…

...went up to the mountains...

The car skidded and rammed
into a road pillar.

Bon appetit. Take this.

Practice. Then at least the
time will fly by quickly.

Did you know that Hynek
finally received a letter?

But Foxl and him
are still quarrelling.

- Do you know why?
- Because Foxl's an old ram!

What?

- Good morning!
- The head physician won't send you home.

Good day.

- Good morning. - Hello. - Hello.

We're working so hard outside,
and you're lying here!

Shut the door.

With you on the other side!

So, show me your arms.

I can’t imagine not being allowed
to ride horses! It'll all pass, right?

You see, that's a reaction to pollen.

That is to horse hair.

That is to cats.

That's why you started
to choke in the chapel.

I can overcome it! I have willpower!

It doesn't matter that I'm puny!
We have one quite frail jockey...

Allergies cannot be overcome by willpower.

This is a panic reaction of the body
to something that it doesn't tolerate.

Each subsequent contact of the body with
the allergen is tolerated less and less.

In severe cases, an
allergic reaction can even kill.

You're not the only one...
who isn't completely healthy.

"....So last week I was taken care of,
in Michalovce, by Mrs Kochandrlova.

"She's very nice, but she admitted that
she was glad when I was discharged.

"The money hasn't yet come from
dad. They don't have jobs there.

"The main thing, my little Hynek, is not
to worry about us - just get better.

"I think about you every day.
You're my wonderful boy!

"Bye. Mother."

Hey!

What's new at home?
