Back to the Family (2025) Movie Script
Hello.
Sit down.
Would you sit down?
You got skinnier,
and prettier...
How are you?
As always...
My health is fine, kind of.
I'm aging though,
not getting any younger.
Not like you,
with your life ahead.
A young, beautiful lady.
It's good that
you haven't forgotten us.
Mum will be happy to see you.
Grandma too.
I am too.
Really?
Really.
You should visit more.
Why do you think I don't?
I don't even know.
Maybe the city's better for you...
More youth, more action.
A village is a village.
Your mum
doesn't want anything changed.
Nor does Grandma.
She never asked for any renovations.
What is there to change
in a village?
When you're used
to something, like Grandma -
she's lived here her whole life -
everything has to stay
the same.
That's why we live the old way...
Because...
Because...
We're all used to it.
So, yeah.
By the way, why didn't you call?
You want to know why?
Remember how you bullied me?
Remember the names
you called me?
I'm cold.
What kind of husband are you
if you can't bring damn firewood?
It's not even cold!
We haven't touched
the fireplace since last year.
And why didn't we?
Because there's either
no firewood, or no husband.
Dammit!
But why do you need it now?
- Because I'm cold!
- Oh, you're cold!
Yes, yes.
Yes, I'm very cold.
Are you aware that
our daughter is back?
Or not really?
Our daughter is back!
And she doesn't show up.
Maybe she's scared of you.
She's in the other room,
and you don't fcking care?
- I don't fcking care?
- No...
Maybe you don't fcking care?
At least she said hello to me.
Did she say hello to you?
Have a bit of conscience, would you?
You think it's a fcking fairytale,
living with you?
Why are you here, then?
We've lived together
for many years, that's why.
Why are you here, then?
Why?
I don't fcking know.
With a witch like you...
Have some decency...
I can't even go and buy a fcking
beer like a normal fcking person!
Go fck yourself
with your damn firewood.
I'm sick of you.
Go say hello to your daughter.
Why should I?
Why didn't she say hello to you?
Good question.
So go to your daughter.
Why don't you say
hello to your daughter?
I talked with her,
and you can't?
I'm sick of you.
I can tell you one thing...
Tell me.
Tell me before I go deaf.
We're both sick of each other.
Why are you here then?
It's my parents' house.
Am I holding you?
I should get away from you.
I don't see a life here.
I don't give a sht
about the animals.
You can sell them
and do whatever you want.
Maybe I'll go to my brother.
Then we'll see how you cope.
I'll be fine.
Of course you'll be fine.
Jonas will visit
or someone else.
We've lived together for 22 years,
what else do you want?
Nothing.
After this talk,
all I want is peace.
Grandma...
Yes, yes.
It's me, Simona.
Yes, I see. I understand.
Good.
Thank you for coming.
Thank you.
Oh, bread is falling.
Who's there?
A friend.
Come in.
Remember me?
I do.
What do you want?
Can I sit down?
Sit down.
Tell me something.
You tell me something.
What do I tell you?
You came here, you tell me.
There's nothing to tell.
I've been away for a long time.
I know.
And what do you want?
I came for a reason.
Everyone comes for a reason.
And you want to get in debt?
Pour me some, please.
I'll get a pen
and write it down.
Okay, write it down.
I'll note how much you drink.
Okay, okay, okay...
I'd be grateful
if you'd pour me one.
Here, if you like.
Up to here - two euros.
But remember...
Go on, pour it, it's fine.
I don't feel well...
But don't forget.
I'll pay you back later.
Two euros is nothing.
Give it to me.
Wait, let me put it down.
Give it to me, damn it.
You know, I...
So, tell me.
Tell me what's good.
What could be good...
It's all the same.
As always...
So nothing has changed?
No.
Nothing has changed, just that...
Your mother-in-law is ill...
Well, yes.
Your wife is also...
My wife...
The woman simply drank too much.
Because I wasn't here
for two years.
Well, yes.
So, how was the prison?
How was the prison?
What can I say?
The prison...
If you were free...
If I were free I would've...
In those two years I would've...
Made some money,
done something good.
Well, yes.
And you would've
looked after your house,
Yes, and maybe my wife
wouldn't have drunk so much.
Of course...
A woman alone is like
a ship without a captain.
So, look...
Yes?
Do you remember our youth?
How could I forget?
Youth was foolish,
yet unforgettable.
Youth was foolish...
And old age came with a cane.
I'm interrupting because
you say our youth was foolish.
Remember the hay?
Of course I remember.
My god...
What happened there?
Nights like that are unforgettable.
What happened on the hay?
My God, as if you don't know.
I remember everything.
Trust me, I remember.
To our old friendship.
Old friendship.
Yes.
That old friendship of ours.
I loved you, toad.
I also had feelings.
Why did you leave me then?
My life took a different turn.
Pour me some more, huh?
Remember, it's two more euros.
Okay, no problem.
I'll pay you later.
I don't have the money now.
I'll pour you some,
whatever.
But just know...
Know what?
Two euros.
Two euros?
So you didn't leave after all?
What do you want?
What do I want?
Nothing, just wanted to say
I love you
like a daughter.
So...
Yeah.
Your mother is...
wasted...
She's drunk,
locked in another room.
I have nowhere to sleep.
I thought maybe...
What do you want?
I want to sleep.
Will you let me in?
Wait.
You're so beautiful.
My darling...
You've become so pretty.
- What do you want?
- Nothing.
What could I want?
What do you think I want?
I just wanted to sleep.
Damnit.
I'm going to lie down.
Why aren't you sleeping?
I can't sleep.
Are you scared?
No.
Don't be afraid.
Everything is okay.
Aren't you cold?
Go to sleep.
KOOPS - RETAIL SYSTEM
What were you saying?
We're hanging out.
- Want to join us?
- Where?
In the flat.
- What are you doing there?
- Drinking beer.
Want to join?
I don't know if I can.
Come on, let's hang
with some old friends.
Old friends?
Yeah.
For a bit.
Let's go.
When did you get here?
Recently.
- Recently?
- Recently.
- No, monkeys do it differently.
- No, they do the same.
Look, above the umbilical cord.
Nice.
It's a physiological thing.
You asked, she scratched
her head and answered.
- You're not a monkey?
- We all come from monkeys.
How will you choose?
From the front or...
I don't care,
I'm not choosing a car.
And with a woman?
Hips.
Hips?
Hips, hips, hips...
Hips are beautiful.
What kind of hips?
Narrow or wide?
Expressive.
Expressive...
Yeah.
Do you like blondes?
It doesn't matter.
What matters is the woman herself.
Not the one that comes
and goes, but the one who stays.
You sit her down
and she stays.
Really.
I want the woman herself.
The warmth...
Especially in autumn.
Come in, Simona.
You took a while.
A bit, yeah.
- Did you get it?
- Yeah, I got everything.
Hide this.
- You wanted beer?
- Yeah, for me.
And something to smoke?
- Ciggies.
- Ciggies, good.
Who's here?
Simona, remember?
No, I don't remember.
- No.
- Cool.
Hello.
I'll check them out.
Sit down.
That's your boyfriend, yes?
No? So who is he?
A friend.
- A friend?
- An old friend.
How old?
So who have you known longer,
me or him?
Him.
- Him? You're lying.
- No.
You're lying.
What are you staring at?
Plenty of girls here.
Mate, come on, it's not even lit.
Oh it is.
You didn't light it for me.
- I don't know how.
- Take it.
The girl stays with me.
- With you?
- Yeah.
Guys, who is this girl with?
With me or with him?
Tell me.
Three of us are having a good time.
If you were a man,
you'd punch me in the face.
But you're sitting quietly,
not saying anything.
Don't insult her.
Just leave the way you came,
nice and quiet, okay?
No arguments.
Does that work for you?
What works for me?
What we agreed on.
It doesn't work.
You want to leave with her?
I'll stay with her.
You can, but does she want to?
Ask her.
Ask her yourself.
Do you want to stay here?
Hello, daughter.
Hello, Mum.
You have no idea how
long I've been waiting for you.
You have no clue.
Chicken, you chicken.
You wandered around...
Yes...
Your mummy is drunk, yes.
But where have you been?
How many beers have you had today?
Six.
Not sick of drinking yet?
You're not the one to teach me, kid.
Then who is?
My stepdad's drunk, Grandma's dying,
and you're on your sixth beer?
Are you even a normal mother?
Is this normal?
Are you a normal daughter?
Have you ever asked how am I?
I don't know
if I can call you a mother.
You've hurt me too much.
I don't want a mother like that.
But there won't be any other mother.
Do you realise you've only got
one mother?
Even if she's a mess,
with dirty dishes piled up,
pissed herself,
a cold, dead fireplace, yes!
But she's still your mother.
And Sima, you should always
remember that this is your home.
Always.
I'd rather sleep outside
than in your home.
Let's be honest,
I'm a drunk,
but you're a drifter!
You're never there for your Mum,
never there for Grandma,
never there for anyone.
Do you feel better
after all that roaming?
Do you feel better after a drink?
Aren't you drinking too much?
Too much.
My life...
You're barely
moving your tongue.
I don't give a sht, Simona!
Why are you shouting?
Because I want to.
Why can't I shout in my own home?
Who do you think you are?
Where were you
when I needed you?
Where?
Grandma took care of me, not you!
Where were you
when I needed you?
Who raised me?
You want to say you raised me?
You raised me?
You parented me?
Grandma raised me.
Grandma cooked for me.
Grandma changed my diapers!
My dear Sima,
how else am I supposed to apologise?
You want me to pull off
some fcking miracle?
Stop drinking!
Maybe then you'll actually mean it.
Mum...
Why do you let him do that?
Why are you like that?
Aren't you ashamed?
Aren't you ashamed?
To let some man
touch your daughter.
You say you love me yet
you keep doing the same -
you drink,
you let him touch me.
Is that what a mother does?
I don't want to be with you.
You can't spare me ten euros?
You've drunk more than that.
You take money from
Grandma's pillow. You do.
You could easily
find ten euros, shouldn't be hard.
Go to your own grandma
and take it.
I haven't seen her.
I only just got here.
Do you understand?
I got here and saw you drunk.
And what did you expect?
What did I expect?
You told me
you didn't touch Simona!
- Of course I didn't!
- No?
So why did she say that to me?
What did she say?
You shut up.
She ran away from
her alcoholic mother.
That's the real reason.
Tell me the truth.
I did nothing wrong.
- What is this then?
- Nothing, I love you.
I love Simona too.
She's like my daughter after all.
You kept drinking
and sinking into alcohol.
You think she's not sick of
seeing her mother like that?
I never believed
you touched her.
What the fck
are you talking about?
Look, I can tell you...
You raised her - that's great.
You were a great dad.
You were great.
But when rumours started...
Rumours!
I didn't know what to say.
If someone touched Simona,
I'd kill them myself.
- And you didn't?
- No.
She's my daughter after all!
But you touched her.
Touched her how?
Only like a goddamn daughter.
- Sure, like a daughter.
- What the fcking sht?
I could strangle the sht
out of you for these words.
Do it - it wouldn't
be the first time.
Stop with this bullsht, okay?
You touched my daughter!
Bullsht.
I did hit her, yes.
That happened, I hit her.
It's unforgivable,
but that's not what
I'm talking about.
Stop with the jokes.
What's got into you?
You're really saying this?
I can swear on both our lives.
I never did it.
I understand what you're saying,
but are you kidding me?
She's my daughter, come on.
My mother...
Simona...
- What?
- Why?
Apologise to this coffin.
- Come here.
- Don't hit him.
Apologise to this coffin.
Earth, earth, earth...
Born from the earth,
to the earth you return.
That's it.
Thank you.
These are the words
of an old man.
You damn earth,
can you keep quiet?
That's just how things work.
Your mother was a good woman.
She was very good, to everyone.
Do you know how much I need you?
You've suffered your way.
Nothing is more
sacred than a mother.
And I don't have one anymore.
Come here, calm down.
I'm calm.
Everything is fine.
Calm down.
She's gone.
There's nothing you can do.
Tears won't help.
There's nothing you can do.
She's gone, that's it.
She's gone...
Dear eyes of yours have closed,
You fell into eternal rest,
You left without a farewell,
And won't return along
your homeland's way.
You left without a farewell,
And won't return along
your homeland's way.
Time to pray.
Lord, hear our prayer
and grant Elena the peace of heaven,
who believed
and trusted you.
We ask this through Christ
our Lord. Amen.
Out of the depths
I cry to you, O Lord,
Lord, hear my voice.
Lord, grant the dead
with eternal rest
and may the eternal light lead her.
Lord, grant the dead
with eternal rest
and may the eternal light lead her.
Lord, grant the dead
with eternal rest
and may the eternal light lead her.
Lord, grant the dead
with eternal rest
and may the eternal light lead her.
Amen.
Mary, oh Mary
The purest lily
You're shining bright in the sky
Relieve the slavery,
Help the humanity,
Save us from the awful enemy
Relieve the slavery,
Help the humanity,
Save us from the awful enemy...
Hey.
What are you doing here?
Why are you so angry?
How are you?
I'm good, you?
Why so angry?
Who's angry?
You!
- Why so tense?
- Why are you here?
What is it?
What are you wearing?
You look like a whre.
Me?
Cover yourself!
The whole family's laughing at you.
- Don't shame us!
- Don't touch me.
It's a funeral!
Father's copy.
Why did you turn away?
What is it?
What is it?
Come.
I know we're both hurting.
Come here, come here.
Everything is okay.
Everything is okay.
I missed you.
I don't like
when you call me a whre.
I don't like when you say
I'm like our father.
You see how he is.
You know I hate him.
Don't do this anymore.
I'm sorry.
I'm also sorry about the sausage.
I've missed you.
I've missed you too.
It's nice seeing you.
What's on your mind?
That you're beautiful.
Thank you.
Would you like to eat?
I would like to.
Sit down.
Can I have a cucumber?
Please.
There were potatoes somewhere...
Why do we fight?
Because we're stupid.
How are you feeling?
Shtty.
And you?
I'm good.
I'm always good.
Let's pray for the deceased.
In the name of God, the Father,
and the son, and
the Holy spirit, Amen.
Our Father in heaven
Hallowed be your name
Your kingdom come
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our debts
As we also have forgiven our debtors
And lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil.
Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace
The Lord is with you
Blessed are you among women
And blessed is the fruit
of your womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God
Pray for us sinners
Now and in the hour
of our death. Amen.
I would like to thank
our friends,
relatives,
neighbours
for...
helping accompany my mother
to her place of eternal rest.
So yeah,
what can I say about my...
Well...
About my mother-in-law...
She was great.
May she rest in heavenly peace.
Thank you all for coming.
Thank you a lot.
Thank you.
Friends,
mates, neighbours,
please, feel free.
Here's my toast.
I respected her,
may she rest in peace.
Wait, we're not toasting yet.
I haven't poured for everyone.
Oh, someone's pouring.
Do you all have plates?
Please, maybe I missed something...
I see empty plates.
Don't worry,
we'll share a plate.
Let's all stand up.
Let's all stand up.
May the sky be bright for her.
Let's honour her
with a minute of silence.
I can only say, to mother.
May she rest in peace.
May she.
Look how everyone starts talking.
Let's raise a glass to her.
We'll definitely raise a glass.
Wait, I didn't finish.
People usually say that.
Mothers-in-law
are witches and all that.
They are mean and so on.
But this one was great!
She was the opposite of a witch.
She was good to me.
She was very good.
She was better to me
than to her own daughter.
Trust me...
She was kinder to me
than to her own daughter!
And granddaughter...
Grandparents love
their grandkids more.
She always asked
about her granddaughter.
When will she come,
when will she come?
I lost eight kids
because of my mother...
When we buried Petra's sister...
I carried her casket myself.
Petra's sister was killed.
I carried my own sister.
Her boyfriend killed her.
She was beaten to death.
To death.
I hate funerals.
I don't like them either.
Like it or not,
it happens inevitably.
Nothing you can do.
I don't like carrying
dead bodies.
She really wanted you to come.
Let's go home.
My condolences.
Hold on.
Reach out if you need.
Hold on.
We'll help if you need.
We'll help how we can.
My condolences.
Get some rest.
I'm fcking done.
Someone visits you?
Yes.
Is your palace far?
What?
Your palace.
Where's your house?
Next to the swamp.
O! Mushrooms!
Who did you invite here?
Other people loved Grandma too,
not only you.
She was loved by everyone.
She was kind.
- Did I do something wrong?
- You did.
I didn't invite anyone.
Whoever came, came..
How long's this mess going to stay?
A week, two?
I'm not cleaning it.
How much did you pay
for the food?
How much?
What's next?
We'll be broke, that's what.
I'm not helping you.
Okay, to Grandma.
I'm not asking for your help.
I'm not helping.
I'll need to work.
I wanted a proper funeral
for your Grandma.
You wanted to get drunk.
I can get drunk any fcking time.
You are so annoying.
Do you agree about drinking?
We're both at fault
that our daughter
doesn't want to be with us.
Do you agree?
I agree.
I get it.
Okay, I won't drink,
but let me smoke.
I also won't drink, but
I won't let you smoke.
- You're smoking now.
- I am.
- And drinking.
- So what?
I'm not drinking.
Why don't I want to be here?
That's why.
I think we should get a divorce.
Divorce?
Yes.
Fine, I'll divorce you.
Do you even realise
how long I've held on?
I wanted her
to keep her surmane -
your surname, you dipsht!
I don't care, I'll divorce you.
It's over.
Do it.
I'll divorce you.
Okay.
I can say a few words.
Go fck yourself.
That's all I can say.
Go fck yourself.
I'm fcking done with you.
I'm leaving you, I don't care.
That's it.
I've got no kind words for you.
Because...
You didn't deserve it.
Shut up.
This is my fault, my fault...
And I owe my daughter an apology.
How will she ever forgive me...
You're a nobody here.
A fcking pile of sht.
I...
It's hard for me
to find the words...
that would describe my guilt.
No, my guilt is indescribable.
I can only wash it away...
Child, forgive me if you can.
For what?
For me and you.
What should I forgive you for?
Simona, you know everything...
I want to hear it.
What should I forgive you for?
I'm so sorry.
I was wrong. Very wrong.
Very wrong...
There isn't enough truth
in the world
to deserve your forgiveness.
But I'm still sorry.
I'll interrupt you.
Shut up!
I'll interrupt you.
Shut up.
Shut up yourself.
What are you apologising for?
You'll forgive me if you want.
You'll come back if you want.
In any case, you will always be...
My child...
My wing...
Wherever...
Whenever you'd go...
You'll always have
a place to come back.
I gave birth to you.
You are my child.
My child!
Wherever you'd be...
You should always
know where your home is.
You know,
Grandma,
I often think about you.
I think about
how good you were to me
and how sometimes
I treated you badly.
I'm really sorry.
I miss you a lot.
I need you a lot.
I would really like
to get to know you better.
But mum doesn't say
anything about you.
I don't even know
your favourite colour,
or how you grew up.
I don't know anything.
But what I know is that
you're very important to me.
I'm really thankful
that you were there
when my mother wasn't.
I hate this village.
I come here only because
there is a part of you here.
This bed of yours,
your cup.
But I can't stay here anymore.
I will leave.
And I doubt I'll ever come back.
But I promise
I will visit you.
I won't forget you.
I'm so sorry.
I love you.
And I'm sorry
that I didn't say it sooner.
The 75th Rover.
You know it?
It's big, like a limousine.
I need a drink...
I beg you.
Get me something!
You drank it all.
There's nothing left?
How? You necked it all.
I didn't neck it all.
What did you do?
Don't give him any, he's had enough.
There's nothing left!
What can I do?
Can't you go and find some?
I can piss in your tank.
You can piss yourself!
Didn't you have
enough alcohol today?
What is wrong? Not enough food?
Pile of sht!
You just buried your mother!
Vytas, that's enough.
Maybe show some respect then?
At least some.
Did I deserve it or not?
Yes!
What, I didn't look after her?
Who did you look after?
The neighbours looked after her!
The whole village
looked after her!
Vytukas, shut up please.
Please.
Our patience isn't made of iron.
I welcomed everyone
to my mother's funeral.
I didn't turn anyone away.
What's your problem?
No problem, just give me a drink.
Just leave.
Gather your sht,
your rotten shoes
and leave.
Leave?
Yes!
I'll take my shoes,
my jacket too
and I'll leave!
Take everything.
Leave me and my mother in peace.
- What have you imagined?
- Leave us.
What?
You'll be all alone,
who'll look after you then?
Do you understand?
Obviously!
And what,
I didn't help with the firewood?
What's this circus about?
What do you want?
What the fck is this circus?
Fck your graves!
You're embarrassing yourself
in front of everyone.
Embarrassing how?
You're a condom.
You're a condom!
Stop shouting, condom!
I told you!
Stop shouting, animal!
Why can't you pour me a drink?
Don't shout, you animal!
Why can't you pour me one?
Don't shout, you fcking animal!
Go fck your graves.
You're fcked.
Come here.
Put the knife down.
Come here!
You'll always be an idiot!
Come here.
Watch it, he's got a knife!
Oh fck.
What's got into you?
What am I going to do with you?
Are you insane?
Calm down.
Come here.
What are you scared of?
I said come here.
You goose!
You are a pig
and you'll stay one.
You're slandering my family?
You're a pig
and you'll always be one.
Fck.
You piece of sht.
I don't care, I'll stab him.
Wait, let me go!
Don't you dare!
My neighbour!
We're here to honour my mother!
Let me fcking go.
I will.
Let go of my hand.
Sit down.
Would you sit down?
You got skinnier,
and prettier...
How are you?
As always...
My health is fine, kind of.
I'm aging though,
not getting any younger.
Not like you,
with your life ahead.
A young, beautiful lady.
It's good that
you haven't forgotten us.
Mum will be happy to see you.
Grandma too.
I am too.
Really?
Really.
You should visit more.
Why do you think I don't?
I don't even know.
Maybe the city's better for you...
More youth, more action.
A village is a village.
Your mum
doesn't want anything changed.
Nor does Grandma.
She never asked for any renovations.
What is there to change
in a village?
When you're used
to something, like Grandma -
she's lived here her whole life -
everything has to stay
the same.
That's why we live the old way...
Because...
Because...
We're all used to it.
So, yeah.
By the way, why didn't you call?
You want to know why?
Remember how you bullied me?
Remember the names
you called me?
I'm cold.
What kind of husband are you
if you can't bring damn firewood?
It's not even cold!
We haven't touched
the fireplace since last year.
And why didn't we?
Because there's either
no firewood, or no husband.
Dammit!
But why do you need it now?
- Because I'm cold!
- Oh, you're cold!
Yes, yes.
Yes, I'm very cold.
Are you aware that
our daughter is back?
Or not really?
Our daughter is back!
And she doesn't show up.
Maybe she's scared of you.
She's in the other room,
and you don't fcking care?
- I don't fcking care?
- No...
Maybe you don't fcking care?
At least she said hello to me.
Did she say hello to you?
Have a bit of conscience, would you?
You think it's a fcking fairytale,
living with you?
Why are you here, then?
We've lived together
for many years, that's why.
Why are you here, then?
Why?
I don't fcking know.
With a witch like you...
Have some decency...
I can't even go and buy a fcking
beer like a normal fcking person!
Go fck yourself
with your damn firewood.
I'm sick of you.
Go say hello to your daughter.
Why should I?
Why didn't she say hello to you?
Good question.
So go to your daughter.
Why don't you say
hello to your daughter?
I talked with her,
and you can't?
I'm sick of you.
I can tell you one thing...
Tell me.
Tell me before I go deaf.
We're both sick of each other.
Why are you here then?
It's my parents' house.
Am I holding you?
I should get away from you.
I don't see a life here.
I don't give a sht
about the animals.
You can sell them
and do whatever you want.
Maybe I'll go to my brother.
Then we'll see how you cope.
I'll be fine.
Of course you'll be fine.
Jonas will visit
or someone else.
We've lived together for 22 years,
what else do you want?
Nothing.
After this talk,
all I want is peace.
Grandma...
Yes, yes.
It's me, Simona.
Yes, I see. I understand.
Good.
Thank you for coming.
Thank you.
Oh, bread is falling.
Who's there?
A friend.
Come in.
Remember me?
I do.
What do you want?
Can I sit down?
Sit down.
Tell me something.
You tell me something.
What do I tell you?
You came here, you tell me.
There's nothing to tell.
I've been away for a long time.
I know.
And what do you want?
I came for a reason.
Everyone comes for a reason.
And you want to get in debt?
Pour me some, please.
I'll get a pen
and write it down.
Okay, write it down.
I'll note how much you drink.
Okay, okay, okay...
I'd be grateful
if you'd pour me one.
Here, if you like.
Up to here - two euros.
But remember...
Go on, pour it, it's fine.
I don't feel well...
But don't forget.
I'll pay you back later.
Two euros is nothing.
Give it to me.
Wait, let me put it down.
Give it to me, damn it.
You know, I...
So, tell me.
Tell me what's good.
What could be good...
It's all the same.
As always...
So nothing has changed?
No.
Nothing has changed, just that...
Your mother-in-law is ill...
Well, yes.
Your wife is also...
My wife...
The woman simply drank too much.
Because I wasn't here
for two years.
Well, yes.
So, how was the prison?
How was the prison?
What can I say?
The prison...
If you were free...
If I were free I would've...
In those two years I would've...
Made some money,
done something good.
Well, yes.
And you would've
looked after your house,
Yes, and maybe my wife
wouldn't have drunk so much.
Of course...
A woman alone is like
a ship without a captain.
So, look...
Yes?
Do you remember our youth?
How could I forget?
Youth was foolish,
yet unforgettable.
Youth was foolish...
And old age came with a cane.
I'm interrupting because
you say our youth was foolish.
Remember the hay?
Of course I remember.
My god...
What happened there?
Nights like that are unforgettable.
What happened on the hay?
My God, as if you don't know.
I remember everything.
Trust me, I remember.
To our old friendship.
Old friendship.
Yes.
That old friendship of ours.
I loved you, toad.
I also had feelings.
Why did you leave me then?
My life took a different turn.
Pour me some more, huh?
Remember, it's two more euros.
Okay, no problem.
I'll pay you later.
I don't have the money now.
I'll pour you some,
whatever.
But just know...
Know what?
Two euros.
Two euros?
So you didn't leave after all?
What do you want?
What do I want?
Nothing, just wanted to say
I love you
like a daughter.
So...
Yeah.
Your mother is...
wasted...
She's drunk,
locked in another room.
I have nowhere to sleep.
I thought maybe...
What do you want?
I want to sleep.
Will you let me in?
Wait.
You're so beautiful.
My darling...
You've become so pretty.
- What do you want?
- Nothing.
What could I want?
What do you think I want?
I just wanted to sleep.
Damnit.
I'm going to lie down.
Why aren't you sleeping?
I can't sleep.
Are you scared?
No.
Don't be afraid.
Everything is okay.
Aren't you cold?
Go to sleep.
KOOPS - RETAIL SYSTEM
What were you saying?
We're hanging out.
- Want to join us?
- Where?
In the flat.
- What are you doing there?
- Drinking beer.
Want to join?
I don't know if I can.
Come on, let's hang
with some old friends.
Old friends?
Yeah.
For a bit.
Let's go.
When did you get here?
Recently.
- Recently?
- Recently.
- No, monkeys do it differently.
- No, they do the same.
Look, above the umbilical cord.
Nice.
It's a physiological thing.
You asked, she scratched
her head and answered.
- You're not a monkey?
- We all come from monkeys.
How will you choose?
From the front or...
I don't care,
I'm not choosing a car.
And with a woman?
Hips.
Hips?
Hips, hips, hips...
Hips are beautiful.
What kind of hips?
Narrow or wide?
Expressive.
Expressive...
Yeah.
Do you like blondes?
It doesn't matter.
What matters is the woman herself.
Not the one that comes
and goes, but the one who stays.
You sit her down
and she stays.
Really.
I want the woman herself.
The warmth...
Especially in autumn.
Come in, Simona.
You took a while.
A bit, yeah.
- Did you get it?
- Yeah, I got everything.
Hide this.
- You wanted beer?
- Yeah, for me.
And something to smoke?
- Ciggies.
- Ciggies, good.
Who's here?
Simona, remember?
No, I don't remember.
- No.
- Cool.
Hello.
I'll check them out.
Sit down.
That's your boyfriend, yes?
No? So who is he?
A friend.
- A friend?
- An old friend.
How old?
So who have you known longer,
me or him?
Him.
- Him? You're lying.
- No.
You're lying.
What are you staring at?
Plenty of girls here.
Mate, come on, it's not even lit.
Oh it is.
You didn't light it for me.
- I don't know how.
- Take it.
The girl stays with me.
- With you?
- Yeah.
Guys, who is this girl with?
With me or with him?
Tell me.
Three of us are having a good time.
If you were a man,
you'd punch me in the face.
But you're sitting quietly,
not saying anything.
Don't insult her.
Just leave the way you came,
nice and quiet, okay?
No arguments.
Does that work for you?
What works for me?
What we agreed on.
It doesn't work.
You want to leave with her?
I'll stay with her.
You can, but does she want to?
Ask her.
Ask her yourself.
Do you want to stay here?
Hello, daughter.
Hello, Mum.
You have no idea how
long I've been waiting for you.
You have no clue.
Chicken, you chicken.
You wandered around...
Yes...
Your mummy is drunk, yes.
But where have you been?
How many beers have you had today?
Six.
Not sick of drinking yet?
You're not the one to teach me, kid.
Then who is?
My stepdad's drunk, Grandma's dying,
and you're on your sixth beer?
Are you even a normal mother?
Is this normal?
Are you a normal daughter?
Have you ever asked how am I?
I don't know
if I can call you a mother.
You've hurt me too much.
I don't want a mother like that.
But there won't be any other mother.
Do you realise you've only got
one mother?
Even if she's a mess,
with dirty dishes piled up,
pissed herself,
a cold, dead fireplace, yes!
But she's still your mother.
And Sima, you should always
remember that this is your home.
Always.
I'd rather sleep outside
than in your home.
Let's be honest,
I'm a drunk,
but you're a drifter!
You're never there for your Mum,
never there for Grandma,
never there for anyone.
Do you feel better
after all that roaming?
Do you feel better after a drink?
Aren't you drinking too much?
Too much.
My life...
You're barely
moving your tongue.
I don't give a sht, Simona!
Why are you shouting?
Because I want to.
Why can't I shout in my own home?
Who do you think you are?
Where were you
when I needed you?
Where?
Grandma took care of me, not you!
Where were you
when I needed you?
Who raised me?
You want to say you raised me?
You raised me?
You parented me?
Grandma raised me.
Grandma cooked for me.
Grandma changed my diapers!
My dear Sima,
how else am I supposed to apologise?
You want me to pull off
some fcking miracle?
Stop drinking!
Maybe then you'll actually mean it.
Mum...
Why do you let him do that?
Why are you like that?
Aren't you ashamed?
Aren't you ashamed?
To let some man
touch your daughter.
You say you love me yet
you keep doing the same -
you drink,
you let him touch me.
Is that what a mother does?
I don't want to be with you.
You can't spare me ten euros?
You've drunk more than that.
You take money from
Grandma's pillow. You do.
You could easily
find ten euros, shouldn't be hard.
Go to your own grandma
and take it.
I haven't seen her.
I only just got here.
Do you understand?
I got here and saw you drunk.
And what did you expect?
What did I expect?
You told me
you didn't touch Simona!
- Of course I didn't!
- No?
So why did she say that to me?
What did she say?
You shut up.
She ran away from
her alcoholic mother.
That's the real reason.
Tell me the truth.
I did nothing wrong.
- What is this then?
- Nothing, I love you.
I love Simona too.
She's like my daughter after all.
You kept drinking
and sinking into alcohol.
You think she's not sick of
seeing her mother like that?
I never believed
you touched her.
What the fck
are you talking about?
Look, I can tell you...
You raised her - that's great.
You were a great dad.
You were great.
But when rumours started...
Rumours!
I didn't know what to say.
If someone touched Simona,
I'd kill them myself.
- And you didn't?
- No.
She's my daughter after all!
But you touched her.
Touched her how?
Only like a goddamn daughter.
- Sure, like a daughter.
- What the fcking sht?
I could strangle the sht
out of you for these words.
Do it - it wouldn't
be the first time.
Stop with this bullsht, okay?
You touched my daughter!
Bullsht.
I did hit her, yes.
That happened, I hit her.
It's unforgivable,
but that's not what
I'm talking about.
Stop with the jokes.
What's got into you?
You're really saying this?
I can swear on both our lives.
I never did it.
I understand what you're saying,
but are you kidding me?
She's my daughter, come on.
My mother...
Simona...
- What?
- Why?
Apologise to this coffin.
- Come here.
- Don't hit him.
Apologise to this coffin.
Earth, earth, earth...
Born from the earth,
to the earth you return.
That's it.
Thank you.
These are the words
of an old man.
You damn earth,
can you keep quiet?
That's just how things work.
Your mother was a good woman.
She was very good, to everyone.
Do you know how much I need you?
You've suffered your way.
Nothing is more
sacred than a mother.
And I don't have one anymore.
Come here, calm down.
I'm calm.
Everything is fine.
Calm down.
She's gone.
There's nothing you can do.
Tears won't help.
There's nothing you can do.
She's gone, that's it.
She's gone...
Dear eyes of yours have closed,
You fell into eternal rest,
You left without a farewell,
And won't return along
your homeland's way.
You left without a farewell,
And won't return along
your homeland's way.
Time to pray.
Lord, hear our prayer
and grant Elena the peace of heaven,
who believed
and trusted you.
We ask this through Christ
our Lord. Amen.
Out of the depths
I cry to you, O Lord,
Lord, hear my voice.
Lord, grant the dead
with eternal rest
and may the eternal light lead her.
Lord, grant the dead
with eternal rest
and may the eternal light lead her.
Lord, grant the dead
with eternal rest
and may the eternal light lead her.
Lord, grant the dead
with eternal rest
and may the eternal light lead her.
Amen.
Mary, oh Mary
The purest lily
You're shining bright in the sky
Relieve the slavery,
Help the humanity,
Save us from the awful enemy
Relieve the slavery,
Help the humanity,
Save us from the awful enemy...
Hey.
What are you doing here?
Why are you so angry?
How are you?
I'm good, you?
Why so angry?
Who's angry?
You!
- Why so tense?
- Why are you here?
What is it?
What are you wearing?
You look like a whre.
Me?
Cover yourself!
The whole family's laughing at you.
- Don't shame us!
- Don't touch me.
It's a funeral!
Father's copy.
Why did you turn away?
What is it?
What is it?
Come.
I know we're both hurting.
Come here, come here.
Everything is okay.
Everything is okay.
I missed you.
I don't like
when you call me a whre.
I don't like when you say
I'm like our father.
You see how he is.
You know I hate him.
Don't do this anymore.
I'm sorry.
I'm also sorry about the sausage.
I've missed you.
I've missed you too.
It's nice seeing you.
What's on your mind?
That you're beautiful.
Thank you.
Would you like to eat?
I would like to.
Sit down.
Can I have a cucumber?
Please.
There were potatoes somewhere...
Why do we fight?
Because we're stupid.
How are you feeling?
Shtty.
And you?
I'm good.
I'm always good.
Let's pray for the deceased.
In the name of God, the Father,
and the son, and
the Holy spirit, Amen.
Our Father in heaven
Hallowed be your name
Your kingdom come
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our debts
As we also have forgiven our debtors
And lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil.
Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace
The Lord is with you
Blessed are you among women
And blessed is the fruit
of your womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God
Pray for us sinners
Now and in the hour
of our death. Amen.
I would like to thank
our friends,
relatives,
neighbours
for...
helping accompany my mother
to her place of eternal rest.
So yeah,
what can I say about my...
Well...
About my mother-in-law...
She was great.
May she rest in heavenly peace.
Thank you all for coming.
Thank you a lot.
Thank you.
Friends,
mates, neighbours,
please, feel free.
Here's my toast.
I respected her,
may she rest in peace.
Wait, we're not toasting yet.
I haven't poured for everyone.
Oh, someone's pouring.
Do you all have plates?
Please, maybe I missed something...
I see empty plates.
Don't worry,
we'll share a plate.
Let's all stand up.
Let's all stand up.
May the sky be bright for her.
Let's honour her
with a minute of silence.
I can only say, to mother.
May she rest in peace.
May she.
Look how everyone starts talking.
Let's raise a glass to her.
We'll definitely raise a glass.
Wait, I didn't finish.
People usually say that.
Mothers-in-law
are witches and all that.
They are mean and so on.
But this one was great!
She was the opposite of a witch.
She was good to me.
She was very good.
She was better to me
than to her own daughter.
Trust me...
She was kinder to me
than to her own daughter!
And granddaughter...
Grandparents love
their grandkids more.
She always asked
about her granddaughter.
When will she come,
when will she come?
I lost eight kids
because of my mother...
When we buried Petra's sister...
I carried her casket myself.
Petra's sister was killed.
I carried my own sister.
Her boyfriend killed her.
She was beaten to death.
To death.
I hate funerals.
I don't like them either.
Like it or not,
it happens inevitably.
Nothing you can do.
I don't like carrying
dead bodies.
She really wanted you to come.
Let's go home.
My condolences.
Hold on.
Reach out if you need.
Hold on.
We'll help if you need.
We'll help how we can.
My condolences.
Get some rest.
I'm fcking done.
Someone visits you?
Yes.
Is your palace far?
What?
Your palace.
Where's your house?
Next to the swamp.
O! Mushrooms!
Who did you invite here?
Other people loved Grandma too,
not only you.
She was loved by everyone.
She was kind.
- Did I do something wrong?
- You did.
I didn't invite anyone.
Whoever came, came..
How long's this mess going to stay?
A week, two?
I'm not cleaning it.
How much did you pay
for the food?
How much?
What's next?
We'll be broke, that's what.
I'm not helping you.
Okay, to Grandma.
I'm not asking for your help.
I'm not helping.
I'll need to work.
I wanted a proper funeral
for your Grandma.
You wanted to get drunk.
I can get drunk any fcking time.
You are so annoying.
Do you agree about drinking?
We're both at fault
that our daughter
doesn't want to be with us.
Do you agree?
I agree.
I get it.
Okay, I won't drink,
but let me smoke.
I also won't drink, but
I won't let you smoke.
- You're smoking now.
- I am.
- And drinking.
- So what?
I'm not drinking.
Why don't I want to be here?
That's why.
I think we should get a divorce.
Divorce?
Yes.
Fine, I'll divorce you.
Do you even realise
how long I've held on?
I wanted her
to keep her surmane -
your surname, you dipsht!
I don't care, I'll divorce you.
It's over.
Do it.
I'll divorce you.
Okay.
I can say a few words.
Go fck yourself.
That's all I can say.
Go fck yourself.
I'm fcking done with you.
I'm leaving you, I don't care.
That's it.
I've got no kind words for you.
Because...
You didn't deserve it.
Shut up.
This is my fault, my fault...
And I owe my daughter an apology.
How will she ever forgive me...
You're a nobody here.
A fcking pile of sht.
I...
It's hard for me
to find the words...
that would describe my guilt.
No, my guilt is indescribable.
I can only wash it away...
Child, forgive me if you can.
For what?
For me and you.
What should I forgive you for?
Simona, you know everything...
I want to hear it.
What should I forgive you for?
I'm so sorry.
I was wrong. Very wrong.
Very wrong...
There isn't enough truth
in the world
to deserve your forgiveness.
But I'm still sorry.
I'll interrupt you.
Shut up!
I'll interrupt you.
Shut up.
Shut up yourself.
What are you apologising for?
You'll forgive me if you want.
You'll come back if you want.
In any case, you will always be...
My child...
My wing...
Wherever...
Whenever you'd go...
You'll always have
a place to come back.
I gave birth to you.
You are my child.
My child!
Wherever you'd be...
You should always
know where your home is.
You know,
Grandma,
I often think about you.
I think about
how good you were to me
and how sometimes
I treated you badly.
I'm really sorry.
I miss you a lot.
I need you a lot.
I would really like
to get to know you better.
But mum doesn't say
anything about you.
I don't even know
your favourite colour,
or how you grew up.
I don't know anything.
But what I know is that
you're very important to me.
I'm really thankful
that you were there
when my mother wasn't.
I hate this village.
I come here only because
there is a part of you here.
This bed of yours,
your cup.
But I can't stay here anymore.
I will leave.
And I doubt I'll ever come back.
But I promise
I will visit you.
I won't forget you.
I'm so sorry.
I love you.
And I'm sorry
that I didn't say it sooner.
The 75th Rover.
You know it?
It's big, like a limousine.
I need a drink...
I beg you.
Get me something!
You drank it all.
There's nothing left?
How? You necked it all.
I didn't neck it all.
What did you do?
Don't give him any, he's had enough.
There's nothing left!
What can I do?
Can't you go and find some?
I can piss in your tank.
You can piss yourself!
Didn't you have
enough alcohol today?
What is wrong? Not enough food?
Pile of sht!
You just buried your mother!
Vytas, that's enough.
Maybe show some respect then?
At least some.
Did I deserve it or not?
Yes!
What, I didn't look after her?
Who did you look after?
The neighbours looked after her!
The whole village
looked after her!
Vytukas, shut up please.
Please.
Our patience isn't made of iron.
I welcomed everyone
to my mother's funeral.
I didn't turn anyone away.
What's your problem?
No problem, just give me a drink.
Just leave.
Gather your sht,
your rotten shoes
and leave.
Leave?
Yes!
I'll take my shoes,
my jacket too
and I'll leave!
Take everything.
Leave me and my mother in peace.
- What have you imagined?
- Leave us.
What?
You'll be all alone,
who'll look after you then?
Do you understand?
Obviously!
And what,
I didn't help with the firewood?
What's this circus about?
What do you want?
What the fck is this circus?
Fck your graves!
You're embarrassing yourself
in front of everyone.
Embarrassing how?
You're a condom.
You're a condom!
Stop shouting, condom!
I told you!
Stop shouting, animal!
Why can't you pour me a drink?
Don't shout, you animal!
Why can't you pour me one?
Don't shout, you fcking animal!
Go fck your graves.
You're fcked.
Come here.
Put the knife down.
Come here!
You'll always be an idiot!
Come here.
Watch it, he's got a knife!
Oh fck.
What's got into you?
What am I going to do with you?
Are you insane?
Calm down.
Come here.
What are you scared of?
I said come here.
You goose!
You are a pig
and you'll stay one.
You're slandering my family?
You're a pig
and you'll always be one.
Fck.
You piece of sht.
I don't care, I'll stab him.
Wait, let me go!
Don't you dare!
My neighbour!
We're here to honour my mother!
Let me fcking go.
I will.
Let go of my hand.
