Horia (2023) Movie Script

- Where are you going?
- The seaside.
- Where exactly?
- Mamaia.
Nice! Clubs, long beach...
Topless?
- No.
- Why?
- What do you mean, why?
- We don't like it.
Here's what I propose.
We tow the car to my repair shop.
We hook it to the scan tool,
it should be ready by morning.
- By morning?
- And tonight we can have a barbecue.
We're in a hurry!
Just a sec.
- The ladies need...
- They don't. Let's go, please.
- Have you checked online?
- The server is down!
I see.
In that case...
I'll drop off my son
and I'll be right back.
Don't go anywhere!
What a weirdo.
See? What was the hurry?
Patience!
Dad!
Thank you.
Look.
Here I am!
Shall we get to work, girls?
Nothing to worry about, girls.
I'll get it running by tonight.
- Guaranteed.
- Thank you!
I called to congratulate you.
For the end of school exams.
Thanks a lot. Congrats to you too!
Oh, you checked my results online?
Yeah.
Sorry, you go first.
Where's my smart boy?
I'll call you later, alright?
I'm going out with
my parents to celebrate.
- Horia!
- OK.
Bye.
Talking to the phone again?
Come see something awesome.
You have to sign this receipt.
To hell with it, come on!
Don't you peek!
No peeking or you get it!
- The Mobra of your youth?
- Hell, it looks new!
I even gave it a mirror.
I guess it's...
Nice.
Nice?
I can't believe you!
Nice?
- Don't know, don't ask me.
- Who should I ask?
It's your 18th-birthday gift.
- Mine?
- Who else would I work so hard for?
This will work wonders!
Wait.
Here.
Have a shot with your dad.
Cheers.
My birthday's not today.
One or two days don't matter.
Cheers!
Look at her!
The Red Beast!
The tank holds 12 liters.
But it won't burn more
than 2,5 in 100 km.
Don't get careless, though,
or you'll be left high and dry.
It doesn't have a fuel gauge.
Here.
Take it!
Cheers!
That's right!
This baby is a total chick magnet.
They'll flock like flies to crap!
You'll forget all about your Ana.
A coat of paint,
and then it's all done.
Just needs fuel.
Don't forget to mix in the oil.
First things first, though:
Your license!
My dad used to say:
"Sure death if you meet a cobra,
even surer on a Mobra!"
Great advertising.
Wait until you get in the saddle!
Your mother loved it,
God rest her soul.
She did?
When we were young,
I took her for a ride in the mountains.
Swept her clean off her feet!
Made her fall in love with me.
I was thinking, this summer,
we could swing by there.
A guys' road trip.
On our bikes.
We take two or three weeks,
sleep in a tent.
Mountains, stars...
Want me to fall in love with you?
You little devil!
When are you going to wake up?
Get the hell out of this village!
- Aren't I going to university?
- You tell me!
Besides, which university?
Haven't decided.
- All this putzing about...
- There's time.
First I have to see
where Ana decides to go.
Listen.
Are you talking out of
your head, or your crotch?
I get it, you don't want
to stay at the garage with me.
But you...
What do you want to do with your life?
I want to move to Cluj, with Ana.
Boy, you're doing it wrong.
Doing it wrong!
What did she do in one week
to turn off your brain?
Does she have three tits?
Honey in her cooch?
Hasn't anyone told you
there's plenty of fish in the sea?
Yes, you did!
All the damn time.
- And aren't I right?
- No!
You're not!
- A long-distance relationship...
- What relationship?
Mooning by the phone for
a girl you haven't seen in a year and...
We could go for a spin,
you'd see the country, meet girls.
- Horia, you're young. At your age I...
- I don't want to go anywhere with you!
And do what?
Hang around in bars with your sweaty
bikers while you chase some skirt?
And I'm not riding that piece of junk!
- The Mobra, junk?
- Yes!
You couldn't get your ass on a train
to see that girl in Cluj!
You don't have the balls
to ride the Mobra to the corner!
And you have them,
chasing after every...
What could I do, after your mother?
Become a monk?
You probably did the same
when she was alive.
You really have no shame?
How did you come up with that crap?
Pass me that phone.
Give me your phone!
Let's see how you manage without it.
Will you survive?
Don't snoop!
ANA
CALL ME I DO ANAL
Stop!
What the hell are you doing on the road?
- Yes, please?
- Three chicken soups.
- Thank you.
- Your crepes are coming right up.
Say, is the Mobra outside yours?
What Mobra?
Are you Horia?
Petric's son?
Yes. You know him?
I haven't seen him in a while, but...
I used to ride that Mobra,
know what I mean?
You were a tiny tot.
Get up, let me see you!
What has he been feeding you?
You're so tall!
How have you been?
Out for a spin?
Yeah, I'm off to Cluj.
To Cluj, on a Mobra?
What's your sign?
No, don't tell me.
- Going there on business?
- No.
So you're...
Going to see a girl?
Yes.
- To surprise her?
- Yes.
- She'll faint when you show up on that!
- You think?
Well, she's your girlfriend, isn't she?
Not exactly, she's...
It's complicated.
We had a thing last summer and...
- You broke up?
- No!
She's just very busy with school.
She's very studious.
She said she doesn't...
...have time for a relationship.
We stayed friends.
But now the exams are over,
so I'm off to see her.
You're a Cancer!
Yes.
At least you're going.
Your dad was head over heels for me
and he did nothing.
Now he wanted me,
now he wanted to be single.
Typical Libra.
Great match for Aries.
I could understand, though.
Having a child to raise...
Don't think I didn't wait for him.
But how long could I wait?
You either want me or you don't!
Oh well.
Speak of the wolf.
Dad? No!
Don't answer!
I don't get it.
Why is he calling you?
I texted him when I saw the Mobra,
I thought he was here,
to surprise me.
I shouldn't have?
He doesn't know I left.
And I lost my phone.
I'm sorry.
- He knows I'm here?
- Yes.
- And he knows this restaurant?
- Yes.
No way.
No, no, no.
They always eat here, what's wrong?
Are they looking this way?
Look.
Baby, he's worried sick.
- I'll call him from Cluj.
- Won't you talk to him now?
Do I sneak out or wait until they leave?
No, by then Dad will get here.
Why would you sneak?
I don't have a license.
And I'm underage.
Underage?
I swear, normally I'm really well-behaved.
I read today's Cancer horoscope.
I don't want to go to prison,
what do I do?
Listen to me.
I keep them talking,
you get up and leave.
OK.
I'm not letting you pay!
- I'll pack your crepes.
- No, don't!
- Rodica!
- I'll be right with you.
Hello there, officer!
- Hi!
- How are you?
All good, the daily grind.
Say, Rodica,
any more of that soup I like?
- Tripe soup?
- Yes!
Only chicken and veggies.
Maybe not veggies.
- Chicken soup, then.
- One chicken soup.
Hey!
Is that Mobra yours?
Yes.
He lives nearby,
he's had it for years.
Gave me a ride, too.
You have its documents?
No.
I don't have them on me.
They're...
They're with the Mobra.
In the top case.
I can bring them.
Girl, never mind bikes and trikes.
Just order, I'm starving here.
Shouldn't we check the papers?
Don't get your panties in a bunch.
Get her the papers so she'll quiet down.
Yes sir.
Now can we order?
I think I'll have some pie.
Great choice!
Hello. One-way crossing, please.
Give back my phone!
Wait!
Give back my phone!
- What phone?
- Don't do that.
Where is it?
Don't be an idiot.
What's with him?
I don't know, bro.
I was...
We met earlier, she has my...
Earlier when?
- Your what?
- Earlier, under the bridge.
- I don't want to bother you.
- What bridge?
Wait.
- You said he didn't have anything.
- He didn't!
She took my phone,
please give it back!
I really need it.
- Why did you lie?
- I didn't!
Please, no need for that,
just give it back.
- I won't tell...
- Where's the phone?
He's all "She stole my phone."
She's like "No way."
- You did that, brat?
- I didn't do a thing!
Please, let's not argue.
We can sort it out.
If you just give me my phone...
Because it's mine and I need it.
Please, I...
I really don't...
Get back in the car!
Wait!
Please, I need my phone!
If you don't, I'll...
You'll...
I'll go tell the security people there!
Go ahead.
Go tell the security people.
Fine, I won't go.
Here.
Take this money and...
Please don't...
Please give it back!
There's really no need to...
Please, there's really no need for this.
Cut it out.
I'm keeping it 'cause I don't like you.
Oi!
- You want to take a dip?
- No.
Then what?
Fuck off!
No!
Excuse me, I have a problem.
Those men on the...
- Clear the way.
- They stole my backpack!
- Go to the desk there.
- They stole my backpack!
You're holding back the cars!
Go, go!
Wait!
Wait, no!
Go, go!
Faster!
You fucking shit!
Step on it!
Hey!
What are you doing?
Faster!
They're after us!
They're catching up!
Pull over!
- No!
- My backpack!
I'll crush you!
Stop it!
Pull over!
Give me my backpack!
- Faster!
- It won't go any faster!
That way!
Go, stop looking around!
Now what?
Fucking shitty shit of a shit!
Get off right now!
What are you doing here?
How did I get saddled with you?
- What's the big deal?
- The big deal?
I lost my backpack because of you!
That's the big deal!
- What do you want from me?
- Nothing.
Here, take your shit phone.
- Why did you take it?
- My brother makes me.
He plays the slots.
Why did you keep it?
Just felt like it.
Your dad again.
Seriously?
Should've passworded it.
Awesome.
Any other calls?
No.
Have you read my texts?
No.
- Liar.
- 'Pon my mum's life!
Don't say that.
I get to say it,
my mum's gone.
What are you doing?
Looking for a place to sleep.
Can't ride at night
with a busted headlight.
Look at it!
Great, thanks.
- I didn't break it.
- Right.
Where are you going?
None of your business.
- I'm coming along.
- Oh no you're not!
Leave me alone.
- Where am I going to go?
- I don't care.
Let me go! Stop it!
- Wait!
- Stop it, you'll get hurt!
Don't!
Don't!
Come on!
Jump in!
Some time for a swim.
It's nice and warm!
Whatever.
I've lost my money, my...
My clothes...
My...
Everything!
This is super awesome!
The number you are trying to call is...
Pass that, I want to take a photo.
No photos for you.
Where am I supposed to charge it?
- You used up my credit.
- Fine.
Morning! Ready to go?
Yeah, in a moment.
There, turn right!
Look, the mountains!
Stop shaking the bike!
Fine.
This is it.
- What, here?
- Don't start.
- But what...
- And don't jump at the bike again.
But I want to come to Cluj with you.
My uncle lives there.
How do you know I'm going to Cluj?
I knew you read my texts!
This does it, get off.
Look.
- I'll get you fuel, you're broke.
- And you're not?
- Your sis here, broke?
- Isn't she?
You fill up, I go in.
Pull over there and wait.
Hey.
No stealing.
Who said anything about stealing?
- Show me the money.
- Sheesh!
Hey...
You!
You don't even know my name!
- You never said.
- You never asked!
- Fine, sorry, so?
- Stela.
No stupid stuff.
I swear on my family,
strike me dead if...
Got the idea.
Go!
Wait!
- Are you crazy?
- What?
- You want the police on us?
- Chill out, man!
Chill out?!
What if they had cameras?
What if...
Get off.
What's wrong?
We lost the chain.
Congratulations.
Congrats.
What did I do?
Nothing.
You didn't do a thing.
Feeling hot, doll?
- You shit-headed bunch of...
- Oi, that's enough!
Didn't you see them?
- Screwing with us!
- Who'd pick us up, the way you act?
- I'm thirsty.
- No, really?
I had water. In my backpack!
You'd think I took it.
You could have taken something to drink.
You loaded on crisps.
Pass me some.
Eating these is wrong, you know.
They're stolen.
So don't eat!
Great.
My battery's dead.
She won't call anyway.
Who do you mean?
Ana.
Stop it.
Must suck.
She had zero photos with you.
You know what sucks?
Stalking her profile!
Alright, sorry.
Truce?
"Truce"!
How old are you, five?
Finally!
Look!
Can you see that?
What's that?
No idea.
- Maybe it's a store.
- A store, seriously?
Selling what?
Can't you see there's no sign?
I'm sure there'll be someone who can help.
Oh, you're sure!
Sure got a shitload of help so far!
Wait!
This is someone's home!
So?
Seriously?
Suddenly you're shy?
Hello!
And we're out of water and...
- We didn't know what to do.
- Poor dears.
Can't help with the chain,
just some water and a charger.
Come on in.
- Thank you so much.
- Oh dear, it's the human thing to do.
Please.
This is a store, right?
No, we make them
and sell them online.
We have everything: doctors, swans,
gnomes, puppies, Elvis.
Aurel, love, we have guests?
- Yes, dear.
- Hello.
- Hello.
- Horia and Stela.
They've walked
a lot in the sun and dust.
- Can you get them water?
- Of course! Are you hungry?
- Starving!
- No.
I'll get you some apple pie.
Warm, fresh out of the oven.
- Let's sit in the shade.
- Thank you so much!
Here, in the kiosk.
Please, young lady.
Horia, there's a charger on that table.
Thank you!
Young lady.
- This helps so, so much!
- Goodness, it's the human thing to do.
You like them?
They're butt-ugly.
- Don't be such a savage!
- It's alright.
We like them.
We started with gnomes.
We got so many orders
we expanded the operation.
But gnomes are still our first passion.
There.
Thanks a lot!
- You're welcome.
- Napkins are there.
Thank you.
It's delicious!
Is it?
I'm glad you like it.
Go ahead and eat.
How do you make them?
What?
The statues, or...
whatever they are.
I make them, they're ceramic.
My wife paints them.
There's a small workshop in the back,
you can see it.
- We're in a hurry.
- We could have a look.
You're so pretty.
Isn't the little one pretty?
Very pretty, yes.
You lovely thing!
And a brave young man.
He rides a motorbike!
- A red Mobra.
- Oh my!
If I may ask...
Is there an auto repair shop nearby?
Or...
Do you have internet,
could I use it to look one up?
Sure, but you won't find one.
No auto repair shop around here.
- Isn't there a junkyard?
- True.
There's a junkyard that way.
I'm sure they can help us.
It's far, though.
About 10 kilometres.
Too far to walk now.
- Dragging the bike, too.
- Certainly not!
Why don't you sleep over?
Right. You'll sleep here.
Relax, take a bath.
Good bed, hard mattress.
You'll sleep well.
There's no noise here.
No other house for kilometres.
Where were you going?
Cluj.
Some way off.
It's best if you stay over.
I don't know.
We don't want to take too long.
You can think about it
while you see the workshop.
Actually, I think we'll get going.
You're not even finished eating!
Anything else? Some meat skewers?
No, we...
We really have to look for that chain.
I could give you a ride tomorrow.
How about doing it now?
Such a cheeky little thing!
She didn't mean it like that.
We don't need a ride, thank you.
I would have loved to,
but I've had a bit to drink.
- Don't worry.
- It's not even charged!
Yes, it's...
It's enough, I...
I don't need more.
If we could just ask,
we don't get a lot of visitors.
Could you take a few photos of us?
As a souvenir.
- OK, sure.
- Thank you, you're so nice.
Where do you want them?
Here, and take several,
in different positions!
One with the aubergine!
With the cat, too!
We have so many photos of
the statues, but none of us both.
Wait, now the hunter!
Surrender, Little Red Riding Hood!
OK, I think they're good.
Let's see.
Look, dear.
Look at this one!
- Do we take a few more?
- Yes, let's.
The arty kind.
Please, if you'd be so kind.
- Here?
- No, over here.
Did it break?
Don't be scared, dears,
there's no shame.
You're a big boy, take a few.
No, please, take it.
Stela!
Don't be scared,
the human body is a thing of beauty!
- It's locked!
- Don't worry.
You locked us in!
Please, don't yell.
- Where's the key?
- Let us go!
Do calm down,
no one means you any harm.
Don't break them!
Stop! That's our work!
We just - Luminia!
She's fainted!
Good God, such bad children!
Let us go.
- Did you see how huge his thing was?
- Yeah!
What was that even?
What if they come after us?
I doubt they will.
What was wrong with them?
How should I know?
I told you we should keep going.
- No you didn't.
- You don't listen!
JUNKYARD
I'll go to the toilet.
- Hello.
- Hello.
How may I help?
I saw you have parts.
We do, yes.
- The young lady?
- She's with me.
So?
- Do you have motorbike parts?
- Some, yes.
I have this Mobra, the chain broke.
I still have it,
but I hoped to find a new one.
- A Mobra.
- Yes.
Look, we deal in car parts.
For motorbikes, we only sell
whole ones or larger parts.
Like an engine.
A chain isn't worth the effort.
- I can take it apart.
- Can you?
And I'm left to sell
a bike without a chain?
You sell it with my old chain.
Look.
We're stuck.
I'm all out of options here.
We walked all day.
Please, we...
How much are you offering?
The thing is...
We have no more money.
When I get there, I promise...
I swear I'll...
Thirsty, aren't you, Miss?
Ain't the water free?
Go wait outside
if you can't behave!
- I'm so sorry.
- One question.
Do I look like an idiot?
Excuse me?
No idea what you're after,
but I can't help.
We're a serious establishment.
Can I at least use a phone charger?
Don't have one.
You don't?
That one would be perfect,
can't I use it for two minutes?
No can do.
Sorry.
Teenager runs away
from home on a Mobra
Stela!
Stela!
Stop acting silly!
Stela, come on!
Piss off, I'm not talking to you.
I'm sorry I snapped at you.
- I should have...
- I saved you from...
Now you're talking?
Yes, I am!
You can go to Cluj alone!
You wanted to get rid of me anyway.
That's not true.
How does this sound?
We spend the night in here.
Yes!
I get that chain,
and we're in Cluj by lunch!
Alright.
Right, they're off.
And then?
Then I left.
Of course, she doesn't know.
It's going to be a surprise.
That week she was there,
did you two do it?
You're such a baby!
Me or you?
Meaning?
You went off like that,
she's not even your girlfriend!
We live in different
corners of the country!
How are we supposed to -
Besides, she's just finished 12th grade.
And she's so ambitious.
Besides,
she definitely found another guy.
What?
Why would you say that?
I'm just saying,
she's not calling, not texting.
That's stupid.
You see, I'm keeping my phone turned off.
Because I have very little battery left.
When I turn it on tomorrow morning,
you'll see she's called.
Ana wouldn't do that.
You don't even know her.
And you do?
Come on, I was joking!
Tell me.
Did you have sex?
That's my business.
Not yours.
- So you didn't.
- Yes we did!
Stuff.
Stuff you do other than sex.
We did those. Several times.
- Smooched the cooch, huh?
- I can't believe you!
Why am I even telling you this?
Shove off!
What's that?
Nothing.
Fine.
You know what?
What do you think happened to this car?
An accident.
Yeah, but...
What about the people who were in it?
I don't know.
You think they died?
I don't know.
- Did anyone close to you die?
- I don't want to...
I want to sleep, okya?
Goodnight, Stela.
Goodnight, Horia.
What are you doing?
I don't know what you understood,
but I don't want to do... things with you.
Not even...
- Stuff?
- No!
- You're too young, you're 13!
- I'm not too young.
I want to see what the big deal is.
I get that.
You're curious,
that's normal.
- But you can't...
- My dad wants to get rid of me.
Since my mum died, he can't stand me.
He told my brother he wants
to send me to a convent.
What?
Yeah.
Is that why you ran away?
So what will you do?
Live with my cousin in Cluj.
Won't your father look for you there?
Nah.
My uncle won't tell him.
He knows my dad and Sorin are...
bad people.
My uncle's nice, he has a music group.
Maybe he can teach me
to play an instrument.
What if you hadn't met me?
I'd have found someone else.
You're not with your dad anymore.
And tomorrow we're going to Cluj.
Yeah.
Goodnight.
Goodnight.
Get off quick, she's calling!
She's really calling!
Ana, can you hear me?
How are you?
No, I'm...
Out.
With no coverage.
Are you alright?
Hey!
Really?
I have something to tell you too.
No, you first.
Yes.
Yes, I know.
You're not trying
for the university in Cluj?
I don't get it.
And you're moving there?
Which Monday?
This Monday?
When would you come back to the country?
I...
We had said...
We'd meet...
We'd meet after the exams.
Or that's what I...
thought.
Listen, Ana...
If I was to...
If I came to you right now.
It doesn't matter, let's just...
Let's say I'd come over.
Would you...
Would you want to see me?
I'll hang around while you pack.
Isn't it worth a try?
I can save up
and come see you there.
No, why would it be too late?
Ana, no.
Remember what we promised last summer?
Ana?
Can you hear me?
Hello?
- Police!
- What?
A police car came.
And?
I ran!
- You left the Mobra?
- No, I carried it here!
Duck!
I can't believe this.
It's alright, they'll just look.
No they won't.
It's listed as missing,
they'll check the plate.
My Mobra!
- They took my Mobra!
- Never mind that!
Right, so.
- We came from that way...
- Don't bother.
I think we should go that way.
- That way?
- Yes.
What's that way?
Cluj, right?
It can't be far now.
You know what?
I'm out.
- It was stupid.
- What?
This whole thing!
What was I thinking?
I'm sorry.
What are you doing?
Getting back to the road
and going home.
What else?
- Come on!
- You can come along.
Then my dad won't be alone
after he kills me for losing the Mobra.
No.
- Let go.
- Don't want to.
Leave me alone!
I'm done with this!
Look what I got myself into!
I'm just too stupid!
You sometimes mess up,
but you're not stupid.
Then why is she leaving?
- Who?
- Ana!
She's going to a university abroad
and never told me!
You think she decided today?
No!
And...
She probably figured...
"No point in telling that loser.
To hell with him!"
And isn't she right?
I'm telling you, she is.
I could have visited her
a thousand times already.
Then I wouldn't be here.
On my great adventure!
I'll go back dumber than I left!
So don't go back.
Let's go.
Horia, look!
Told you we'd find a way.
And you...
Sheesh.
If you've enjoyed our show,
tell your friends about it.
If you haven't,
tell your enemies!
I told you I'm sorry!
You'll just do it again!
- You're sorry I caught you!
- Doing what?
- What do you think you saw?
- What I "think" I saw?
I saw her somewhere before.
In your dreams, pal.
A clown! Let's go.
What are you doing?
What if they're like those naked freaks?
It's cold here, they won't get naked.
- So pretty!
- I'm Horia.
Nice meeting you. Dodo.
I'm Stela.
When's the next show?
We're just tearing down and moving on.
No! You're leaving?
Not immediately.
We'll have a party,
you can stay if you want.
- We do, don't we?
- Stick around, then.
Wow, so much stuff!
What's that?
Let's see what it is.
There you have it.
Horia!
Hey, you cute thing!
What are you doing here?
You pretty boy!
What's up, boy?
No point in crying, girl.
You only live once.
- I just got here.
- Who is that?
The mopey boy.
Harley Davidson, big biker.
Were you leaving?
Not yet.
Did you see him earlier, at the barbecue?
He looked sadder than you!
Ignore him. I'm Nina.
Horia, hi.
You like Couscous?
Yes, he's so cute.
Sit!
I used to have a dog.
- She died two months ago.
- I'm sorry.
Her name was Honda.
Sit!
Good boy! Now hop!
Hop!
Couscous, hop!
- Good boy!
- He's awesome!
Check this.
Pretty!
Come. Sit.
Pretty!
Good boy!
You want to try?
- Yes?
- Hold this.
Call him and say "pretty".
Couscous!
Pretty!
Good boy!
Say, kid.
Want to have some chocolate with us?
Right, that's...
It's what they call the...
Hash, baby.
It's brown.
Can't very well call it shit.
Beautiful, isn't it?
It really is.
What, are you counting them?
Just thinking.
You know how it is with thinking.
You shouldn't overdo it.
Try again.
Breathe in slowly.
So you have a motorbike?
A Mobra, yes.
Well, not anymore.
An actual Mobra?
An actual Mobra.
But now...
Bye-bye, Mobra!
This was the dumbest thing ever.
The dumbest thing.
I left it by the road
and the police took it.
The police, mate?
What can they do to me?
Fine me?
What if they fine me?
No, wait.
They'll call my dad and...
He'll get in trouble.
Then I'll be in trouble.
What do I do?
They'll catch me!
Relax, lie down.
I can feel my heart.
I should hope so!
I shouldn't have left home.
If you shouldn't have,
you wouldn't have.
Now that you have,
you can't not have.
So what is it like,
riding the Mobra?
Easy, don't get worked up.
You'll get sick.
I've never been on a motorbike.
Well...
A Mobra doesn't go very fast.
The cool thing about that
is you can see stuff around.
You don't have time
to really look at things.
You see them and they're gone.
And something else shows up.
Then something else.
It's a really old bike,
it rattles under you like hell.
But that's cool.
You have to keep it in check.
In tighter curves, it tilts so much
you think you'll scrape the ground.
You think you'll fall.
But you don't fall.
What I like most
is the air whistling past your ears.
At first it was so annoying.
But you get used to it.
It becomes like a...
A humming.
After a while hearing nothing but that,
it's like it's just you and the road.
That's all.
- I need to answer.
- Easy.
Get up slowly.
Easy.
Is it the police?
I'm parched.
My mouth is like sandpaper.
Horia, your dad just texted me.
He says he can't contact you
and the police took your Mobra.
I'm sending the location,
are you OK? What's going on?
Stela!
Horia!
What's up?
I've been looking for you.
Still moping?
Where have you been?
Around.
Isn't this place awesome?
That girl with the fire!
- Having fun, are you?
- D'oh!
I'm glad.
I have something to tell you.
Come here.
What?
I want to stay here.
Here?
Are you sure?
Yes.
It's great, I'll share the girls' trailer.
They'll teach me juggling.
Maybe I can join the troupe!
- Did they say that?
- Yes.
They need someone to take cool photos,
post stuff about their shows.
You mean it?
But...
Didn't you want to
go live with your cousin?
Not anymore.
It's what you said.
And now I want to stay with them.
You know they leave tomorrow.
I'll leave with them.
- Where to?
- No idea.
What are you going to do?
I'm leaving too.
Going home?
I kind of have to.
How will you get there?
I'll manage.
You know what?
I want to give you something.
Keep it.
I'll...
I'll call you on it
to see how you're doing.
Thanks.
Come over.
You just disappeared.
Are you okay?
Yes.
I liked your story about the Mobra.
I really did.
Glad to hear it.
So...
What do you do in the circus?
Animal training.
With elephants and lions?
Yes.
Wow.
Circus animals are prohibited now.
For a few years now,
we only have ponies.
I do belly-dancing and shard-walking.
Excuse me?
I walk on glass shards and nails.
Okay, I have to see that show.
You really should, it's awesome.
Want to see the big top?
Yes.
- Hey.
- Hey.
I'm showing him around.
I'm done here.
- Will you turn off the lights?
- Yes.
Here I used to do
the number with Carlos, the lion.
Then there was Mona, the she-bear.
She had learned to ride a kickbike.
I wonder if she's still alive.
My dad had trained her.
She was the first animal
I learned to work with.
Weren't you afraid?
That she'd eat you?
No. They were my friends.
I looked after them
like they were children.
They took them away,
saying it was animal cruelty.
If you go to any village around here,
you'll see starving, whipped horses.
Dogs being abused.
Isn't that animal cruelty?
Yes. I mean...
Definitely.
You're so tall,
I have to stare up at you.
And you're...
So...
Nina, what the fuck is this?
Now you care about me?
I'm sorry, I...
- Who the fuck do you think you are?
- Misha, leave him alone!
Run, Horia!
- What's your issue?
- You think you can just...
POLICE
Where are you off to, son?
Come here,
if they see you we're in trouble.
I've been putzing about here for hours.
Dad!
Happy birthday.
Wow.
I...
I forgot.
Now I'm...
Of age!
Dad, look, I'm sorry.
Drop it.
Recognise that?
The Mobra!
- How did you get it?
- It's in my name, isn't it?
So what happens to me now?
I get arrested?
If you go strutting in there
like you were about to do.
Oh well.
I deserve it.
No, really.
Did you at least get
to see your one true love?
No.
How do you know
I was off to see her?
A birdie told me.
Here. See you back home.
Go slow, eyes on the road.
By the way.
You know whose helmet that was?
No.
Your mother's.
She wore it when
we rode the Mobra together.
When I look at you wearing it...
You're her spitting image.
I can't believe you're letting me go.
Me neither.
