Last Kiss in Paris (2024) Movie Script
1
Today I fly from New York to
Paris to meet the most beautiful
Moldovan woman.
Dragoste.
The first word I learned online
in the language of the
Moldovans.
Moldova, a country most
Americans know nothing about.
And I did not either.
I was online looking
for something to write about.
I heard Moldova was the
poorest country in Europe.
I know everyone wants
the rich man mentality.
However, I happen to
be a poet so I seek the soul.
And I remember some old saying
that said, blessed are the poor
in spirit
for theirs is the
kingdom of heaven.
So I started looking
towards the poorest.
Being a poet I tried finding
something interesting
and things to write about.
I am a poet.
A failed one, yet still a poet.
I've written a few books, some
you've probably never heard of.
My work was loved
by such a small few.
I get a few diehard fans in the
middle of some countries in
Europe.
They love my work.
Most critics hate me.
It would not matter if I wrote
a follow-up to the Sona 18
by William Shakespeare.
They would despise it.
All over a comment I made over
20 years ago about a businessman
that everyone adores.
Well, life is political nowadays
and I'm so horrible at that
game.
One of my more
known poems began like this.
If love is love,
then why does it kill so easy?
If love is so wonderful,
why so many tears?
If love is good,
Why so much evil in its name?
Time heals, but it never
kills The thing you did to
my soul It was such a lengthy
toll I paid with sleepless
nights and the loss
of any path the loss of any
sane bone in my broken body.
If love,
if only love.
I forgot to say what drogoste
means. It means love in
Romanian,
which is the language
that most Moldovans speak,
along with Russian of course.
I saw online during
my search that the poor people
of Moldova have a great deal of
drinking and drugging and
depression.
Of course, I would
choose that to study.
Most poets, well, at least ones
like me, had horrible
childhoods.
Seeking the betrayal of the
trauma, the hell from the mother
or the father,
Whomever gave us this gift
of the trauma child.
When I was online,
I saw a little site for a film.
As they say, well,
my breath was taken away.
For a moment and
each moment since,
this might sound
absolutely insane.
However, it has taken
me 10 years to make this trip.
She always told me when
we spoke on the phone,
on video,
you always say you're going
to come and you never come.
I did not come.
There was always something
preventing me from coming to
her.
I would promise and then
something would come up.
France.
So much more beautiful than...
RINGTONE Regina!
No, it's a sister, Victoria.
Welcome to France.
Victoria?
I'm sure it was a long trip.
Can I see Regina tonight?
Look David, she has had
a pretty good week this week.
However, the doctors
say she should wait a day
before seeing anyone.
They're trying a different dose
of medicine.
Only half of it. I
don't think it's enough.
However, they're experimenting.
So we monitor tonight
and see how it goes.
This never happened in Moldova.
Maybe they're
giving her too much.
Maybe that's why
she's self-medicating.
To feel better. Tomorrow I
booked the Oscar Wilde room,
you know, the place
where the poet died.
You know, she's a
poet, I'm a poet.
One second David. I'm
on the phone with David,
Victoria's boyfriend.
What are you wearing?
It's horrible.
I love it. It's
Jean-Louis, for the rehearsal,
he wants us to be all
dressed the same way.
I'm on the phone.
I'm sure it's very expensive
the hotel.
And all of this, this
is wonderful of you.
Nevertheless, my sister's
mental health is first.
So, look, get some rest and I'll
call you if anything changes.
I'm sure she's just as excited
to see you as you are.
Both of you, 10
years of waiting.
You must be excited.
Maybe nervous?
Victoria,
it means a lot.
You're helping me with this.
A lot.
No.
Thank you for caring
about my sister, David.
So many of her friends have
abandoned her since she got
sick.
Get some rest.
It took me a few years
to realize something was wrong,
something was off
about her. Yet it was a mystery.
Sometimes I would call her
and she would be so alive,
so filled with love and energy.
She would show me her
paintings, her poetry.
We loved writing poetry
and reciting to each other.
Regina,
I left my glasses in
the living room, sorry.
Hey, no, no, no, no!
Show me!
Show
me the painting. The
one in the castle.
You like?
Yeah!
That's my favorite one. God,
I miss Europe so much.
I really do.
I love the castles.
You know, you have more castles
than we do hamburger
joints. Ha ha ha!
You're my dream,
you're my everything.
My nothingness in a dark cave
each day without your love.
And you, like my heaven,
Like my hell, burning my heart.
Do you not see my eyes on fire
for you? Do you not see my heart
erupting for you?
Do you not see, feel
my soul is near you?
Die, die, Die, summer
wind, until you carry him to me.
It's,
It's so brilliant.
Regina, it's brilliant.
Your poetry.
When will you come?
If you don't come,
someone will come
and take me from you.
I'll be in Moldova
soon, okay? I promise.
I'll come.
I'll be there. You just
give me a little more time.
I have a deadline
for this book. I...
You know, I have to
eat. We have to eat, yes?
Did you... Did you
send me my cigarettes?
Yes,
a big box.
It's coming soon.
It'll be delivered Monday,
okay?
And the chocolates?
And the chocolates.
And cola zeros,
a whole
box.
Really?
Really.
Regina,
look, I'm trying
to come there, I really am.
I know it was one excuse after
the other, and you know, the
pandemic hit,
and I was coming.
Do you still love me?
I only love and trust God.
Oh God, you are my only friend.
You are my only hope.
You are my spinning light.
It's amazing.
It's amazing and your poetry
is even better than mine.
What is that painting?
No, no, that picture.
Who is that? I've
never seen that.
Oh, oh.
That's my sweet sister.
She...
Victoria.
Pobeda.
It means victory.
She from my mother, another
first husband, a guy from Paris.
We are very close.
Well, sometimes.
I love to speak in French.
J'adore le parler en franais.
(I love speaking in French)
She looks like she
cares for you deeply.
Are you alright, honey?
Did you just take a drink of...
What's in that plastic?
It was a juice, yeah?
You know you cant smoke weed,
honey. Remeber, you have issues.
You were going to tell me more
about it. You said you were in
the hospital
with Mama from time to time.
I know that you're unbalanced
sometimes. I can see it.
But I don't understand it all.
You have to give
me more information.
You will never understand me.
Only Jesus understands me.
Only the spirit can fathom
who Regina Romanescu is.
You will never understand me.
I see you smoking, Regina.
Look at you, you funny
girl. I bought them, remember?
I see you smoke it.
You don't have to
hide it from me.
You don't have to
hide anything from me.
You know I want some wine.
You know I want some smoke.
You know I want to go...
You take me swimming.
I want you to take me swimming
I want to be in nature David
you know I hate alcohol you know
I don't like drugs I've seen it
destroy
my mother she died
from, my father, my sister
come on a little glass
of wine, a little smoke...
Mama?
Oh my God, just how
much can you smoke here?
Hello, Mama.
David, I must go, mama needs me.
But I want...
Hello?
What the hell you hang up on me
for? You don't even say goodbye.
What the hell is wrong with you?
Don't hang up on me again!
She's nuts.
I love your painting.
You're better than me.
Your poetry is way
better than mine.
You're brilliant.
What the fuck outta
here bro? Quit starting
that black privilege shit
bro, this is my boy.
Take it easy, Take
it easy. Here,
here.
What's all this modern
day racist crap man?
When I was young we used
to go party in Manhattan.
We'd have blacks, Puerto Ricans,
whites, Muslims, Jews,
everybody was having a good
time. Even Andy Warhol.
Andy Warhol?
I didn't give it
to him first. This
little Puerto Rican
connection bullshit.
No, no, I gave it to
him first because he's older.
That was it.
Did you make a ton?
You're breaking my
balls or what, man?
Inflation, man. Inflation.
Hey, I tell you what.
I'll make a deal with you.
You listen to one of my poems,
and I'll give you an extra five
spot,
alright?
Look, I got this beautiful woman
in Eastern Europe.
She's gorgeous, man.
She's smart, she's intelligent.
She speaks all these different
languages. She's amazing, man.
It's too much
information, buddy.
Well, look, just listen
to my poem and, you
know, Look, I normally
don't do this stuff,
man, because I'm just trying
to start an experiment
on the street to see what people
think. Normally, I just give it
to the publisher.
Hey, bro, you want
me to listen to this shit,
you're going to have
to give me another
five bucks.
I'm going to
man. Just can I sit?
Thanks, what's your name?
Mikey.
Myself seemed so astray,
I did not want...
Myself seemed so astray, I did
not want to see you in her yet
her ghost appears again And I
was yesterday in the rain, in
pain
and then the sun shined why
my soul did not feel
its rays I tried so hard to see
your soul and the mystery of it
I kindly appeared
as a knight with no armor,
trying to forgive myself of the
pain of
your allure, because only
love can create such a fool.
Beware of this mystery.
Your kiss, it's only rule.
And...
Bro, is there more?
Almost done, almost done.
I will love you like a woman, if
not I will love you like a
sister,
if not I'll love you like a
mother, if not I'll love you
like the anointed one said,
Like an enemy, I'll love you.
You like it?
Hang on, friend, that's some
good shit. That's some old
Shakespearean shit,
but,
come on, bro.
You need to talk to somebody or
something. You can't be walking
around here acting
a fool on this shit.
Tripping.
Thanks man.
Thanks for listening.
I appreciate it man. Take care.
You're the
one that needs to take care bro.
You walking around here giving
this shorty
all this love, you don't even
know she gonna love you back.
There's this girl in a box
living down by the river.
That bitch is crazy. She been
trying to ruin me for a decade.
You gotta play
bitches all sometimes.
Can't be giving in
like that. Know what I mean?
Thanks for the advice,
man. All right, man.
Hold on, Reggie.
Hold on Reggie,
hold on I'll be right there.
Hold on.
I'm coming.
Hey.
What you doing, girl?
I missed you.
How you doing?
You're creating, I know you.
You don't know me.
Only God knows my heart.
Honey, how are
you? How's Moldova?
Did you send me my cigarettes?
Yeah, they arrived
Wednesday, don't worry.
Oh no!
You lie!
You say you come here!
I'm sorry.
I know, I know.
I keep saying it.
It's my work, it's very
difficult, and I'm almost done
with this book.
I'm so sorry.
Oh no!
Are you all right?
Do you want to hear my poem?
Yes, honey, go ahead.
Who's that,
whose legs are on
your couch there?
Amerikanske liar!
She's my friend.
This guy bites my head off.
Yea, who knows,
Liar.
Liar.
American!
Are you lying to me?
Are you playing with me?
Are you using me like a toy?
Calm down, honey,
alright? Calm down.
Okay, look, look.
Look, just read your poem. Kiss
me, I wanna be kissed by your
poem.
I love you, come on.
No no, No kiss, not until we
go in front of the Creator
in the church you promised
me in front of the church
yes honey first kiss in front
of our Creator I promise.
Now read your poem I
want to hear it come on
shadows are deep, our souls
deep, our hunger deep, like an
empty lake I look
for a dream from
our love. You are empty.
And your words are filled
with making me dream.
You, you're making me dream.
You make me dream!
And then I wake up.
I wake up.
You're not here.
I,
I damn our love.
I damn our souls.
Heaven is not a place to enjoy
with love lost daily.
Fill up
our lake.
Of love.
Regina,
it's beautiful.
We'll publish all your work, all
your paintings, all your
creations.
I'll give you all I can.
I'm Sorry, I've had to stay to
pay for my sons And you know,
I have to take care
of them and it's just one thing
after another I see in your
eyes you're not forgiving me.
I need your
forgiveness. I'm coming.
I'm coming.
Answer the damn
phone, answer it!
My heart doesn't stop bleeding.
Doesn't stop bleeding.
You witch.
You don't answer the damn phone.
Mother,
Where are you?
Are you on the stars?
Are you out there on the stars?
Are you drinking there too?
Can you get drunk on the stars?
What kind of a mother leaves
their children in a dirty,
filthy,
bug-infested
tramp hole.
They say it gets better
when you're older.
It gets worse.
Regina.
Regina.
I'll get you more smokes.
I get you more chocolates.
I'll give you,
I'll give you
everything you need.
I'll give you
my heart,
I'll give you my finger.
The middle finger, that's
what you get all of you.
Regina?
No, it's actually your employer.
Your lovely,
loyal publisher who managed
to get you a 20k advance
but yet,
surprise surprise, hasn't
received any poems in his email.
I have to say this is extremely
unprofessional darling.
How you doin', Mr. Windsor?
Well you see, that's the
problem, isn't it darling?
I never hear from you.
I'm on it.
I got some great stuff.
You're gonna to love it.
It better be good.
Jack Kerouac better roll
over in his grave.
I'd like to see
you in my office.
Monday morning, 10 o'clock
sharp. With a full binder of all
the poems.
Ha ha ha I'm looking
forward to it.
I'm leaving for Europe
in a week, that's it.
I gotta meet someone,
I gotta see her.
Don't mean to offend you, but
she could be like a bloody
vampire.
Henry don't every talk to me
like that again. Good bye.
Oh.
Hey, wake up, wake
up. I want to smoke.
Wait, wait. Lexus wanted you to
woo him. But you lost your mind
and hit him.
Please woo him, we really need
it, we really need it, we really
need it.
Hey. Hey hey hey,
what's goin on?
Whadda fuck?
I don't wanna hear
this racist language.
The language of slave people.
The language of death.
Hate them all.
I hate them all.
You,
speak English please.
I will speak in the
language I want.
Do you understand me?
No, no, no.
I don't want to hear
that fucking Russian language.
I want you to speak
English to me, okay?
You want something in life?
You should give something,
in return.
Life is so simple.
Or maybe your girls from Ukraine
give their flowers for this
fucking talk
of weed.
Or your pretty boy's face.
You know, your grandmother was
Ukrainian, that's why, you have
perfect ass.
What?
Classless thug.
I like men with
brain bigger than
the size of a toad.
I like older men,
wiser, not this.
He really loves me.
Ha..
Mom?
Come on what's this!
What is this crap.
Who are you? Get away
from my daughter! Come on.
What you want?
Your daughter partied all night.
She's a tramp.
He is lying.
He never touched me.
Revenge for Ukraine, good
doctor...? Transnistrian doctor.
Doctor, doctor, doctor.
So don't say anything by
your Russian speaking mouth.
Stop.
Get out of here!
Go! Get out of here.
Yea, Yea sure!
Get out of here!
After my lady.
Run along.
Move move on.
Mom, he didn't mean to hurt you.
I understand you're angry.
They will ruin your
life! All your life.
Come on, settle down.
I will make you, what you need.
Mom, he loves me. He Loves me.
He loves me.
Who? The one who ran
away from his country?
No, mom, an American, David.
Chocolate bars, mom,
cigarettes, poems.
He's not some mama's boy,
He really loves me, mom.
Yes.
Wait, wait. Mom will
make you feel better.
You know that mom is a doctor.
You will be ok.
Ouch!
It hurts so bad mom!
Your injections turn
me into a sleepy cat.
It's ok. Here, here, here, here.
Come on,
come on.
It's all right.
Calm down.
You will not let them take
me to the hospital, right?
Please, please.
Please, mommy.
No, no, calm down, calm down.
Listen,
I will have to go to
France to your sister.
I haven't seen my
grandchild since born.
But I can't let you stay
with these hooligans.
I just can't stand it.
Promise me that you
will be a good girl.
I need three days to
prepare my documents.
Do you promise to
be a good girl?
Yes, I promise.
Mom,
he loves me.
Is he some kind of
online ghost again?
No,
he is a real man. He is David.
Tell me about David. Your father
never discussed him? He won't
come.
Shhhhhh.
Dad, he is wrong.
Mom. David is not like that.
David will come.
He's not like that.
He writes me poems.
He writes like me.
Mom, he feels like me.
He dreams like me.
He loves like me.
He believes like me that Jesus
Christ shed blood for us,
just like me, Mom.
But you are not like Dad.
You believe that he will come.
When I was a child,
the Bolsheviks tore
my cross and threw it away.
They sent my father
to the Gulag.
They burned our church.
The world will
never know about it.
How we lived, I don't know.
Nobody helped me.
Nobody.
Mom, God tests the strong.
You know, you know,
mom, it's a test of faith.
Lullaby.
Henry,
The plague ended a year ago.
You've always fought the powers
to be and you know what, to your
detriment sir.
You want to see my poem?
No, no, no, no.
Stay exactly
where you are. Ha, ha, ha, ha.
Hand it over to me.
I'm this far away.
Hey, Henry, you're OK.
What happened to your finger?
Look, why are these
poems written, not typed?
And I have to show this
chicken scrap to the big three?
A face like a sun
that never dies.
Her soul bright
in my heart like a new start.
As if a creation
of strange galaxies
in my mind forever
touching my soul.
She's deep in my mind,
With her I'm gladly blind.
Death is without her kiss.
Look, I hope you're
not falling in love.
My personal life is none
of you or big three's business.
But one has to mature
at some point in life.
Fifty-four is a good
time to start, darling.
Stop calling me darling.
I don't like it.
It's weird.
Do you know what? Why should
I try to get your funds?
You are a total tosser
You always always burn bridges.
You're an expert at one thing
and you know what that is
burning bridges.
Thank you all my
heart. Thank you all
my soul you don't. I'm free you
get it? I'm free, I'm a free
man, I have my own set
of rules. I'm not right
or left I'm a soaring eagle
I'll blow your bridges
to pieces in my heart in
my mind. I don't
care! I don't care!
David will you please calm down
look I have known you for 20
years,
and I've, I have to say, I've
never seen you so distraught.
What's wrong?
I just feel a lot for this girl.
You have no idea how unique she
is.
How special she is.
I want to go to Europe,
I want to see her. She sends me.
What's her name?
Regina.
Regina Romanescu.
She's the most elegant,
truthful person I know.
She's no angel. No one is.
But she's something,
something so honest about her.
Even when she hides
in her shadows.
You sure you're not
a poet, darling?
Do you
know what, actually?
I know a really fantastic
therapist, if you ever want to
see him.
In fact,
I'll pay for the first
session. How's that?
Yes?
Hi, sweetheart.
I'm at my agent's.
I've got to sign some tax
documents, but I couldn't wait
to hear your voice.
I had to hear your voice.
Do you miss me?
I'm sorry.
I was just mad,
mad, mad with you.
Hey, it's gonna happen.
I'm finally gonna see you.
I spoke to my agent
today. It's all gonna work.
Regina,
I promise.
The sound of your voice
is all I live for.
Do you remember the first word
in Romanian I spoke to you,
that I taught you?
Dragoste, Dragoste.
Regina, I love you.
And Russian?
Lubov, my dear.
It hurts,
doesn't it, David?
Love hurts.
Love hurts so much.
If you don't come this time,
I'm gonna make you
suffer in eternity.
I'm gonna kill you with my mind.
I used your line
on my agent today.
I learned so much from you.
Your words are incredible.
I told him I'll kill
you with my mind.
Anyway, when I see you, I'm
gonna buy you the most beautiful
dress.
You can't buy God, you can't buy
Jesus, and you can't buy Regina
Romanescu!
This time you will come?
Yes?
This time I swear.
Don't swear, no, no.
Just, just, just,
just do it already. Just come.
I want to hold you. Just, just
look at me with your eyes.
Your beautiful,
soulful eyes.
Thank you.
I love this picture.
You send me.
I carry it with me.
I printed it out.
It is the most beautiful
gift anyone has ever.
I will do it.
I will bleed for you.
I will bleed for you.
Regina.
Regina, what are you doing?
No!
No! What are you doing?
Stop! David,
I'm with a client. Keep it down.
I'm sorry.
Look, I can't scream in here.
No! I will do it!
I will bleed for my love!
Like the picture!
Like you on the picture send me
with the blood!
I will do it! Look!
No, no, no!
Look, David! Please,
please, please!
I'm gonna bleed!
Put the knife away!
I'm gonna bleed
for you! I'm gonna show you.
Sweetheart, listen.
Just put it away.
Put the knife back in
the drawer, please.
Do it. I'm gonna bleed for you.
I'm gonna
show you
how much I love you.
That was so stupid!
Please, I was stupid to do this.
Put the damn knife away.
Your love was stupid
for me! NO! No, no, no.
I mean, I'm glad, honey.
I didn't mean it that way at
all. I'm glad I did what I did
for you.
My love for you is...
Is uncontrollable.
And unfathomable,
like, The light of a star.
I love you, but I
must protect you.
I can't allow you to do the same
as me. Please just put it away.
Put it away!
Don't leave me for long!
Do not! Do you understand me?
I've read your work.
I feel your words.
You are special.
No, I am not.
I'm only a has-been.
I'm nothing of the sort.
I only write so I can love you.
I only write to send you
chocolates. I only write to send
you smokes.
I only write to get the
plane to come and see you.
I only write to be able
to buy things to make you smile.
To be able to tell
you I love you.
Just wait a little longer and
I'm almost there to hold you.
My dear,
it's time to get the shot.
I'm leaving, and it will
keep you in shape, okay?
Mom, say hi to David.
David, she speaks a
little English. Hello, David.
Hello, Mom.
Your guy is interesting.
She says you're handsome.
For a big guy.
Oh no, no, David.
No, you are beautiful.
Be careful what you say
to yourself, my David.
Be careful with your mind.
Do you want to see
me get my shot?
Turn off the computer.
Aren't you ashamed
that he is watching all this?
Does he know about
your problems?
David, mama wants to know, if
you know, what's wrong with me.
Well she's moody mama, like all
women. Maybe we should not give
her any wine then.
She's not very
good with wine and:
She gets very strange.
You know, you shouldn't drink
Regina. And that time you were
high,
I saw you smoking.
You were way out of line.
Damn, half of the
medicine spilled on the floor.
Mom, I'm sorry,
it hurts so much this time.
Honey are you ok?
Are you alright?
I'm sorry David, It h...
Come on, a little bit.
Let me do it. I'm sorry.
Sweetheart.
I'm sorry.
No, it's ok...
It happens sometimes.
It hurts.
Reggie, tell me my heart,
my soul, what is it?
Just tell me what's
wrong with you.
I'm schizophrenic.
But ah...
It's not as taboo as it seems.
I mean, there are spectrums,
different spectrums.
You wasted half the
medicine on the floor.
Have to let you sleep,
you should be sleepy.
David, mama says
I gotta go rest.
I get really dopey
after the shot.
Regina, don't worry. I'll
learn how to give you the shot.
I like this man for you.
He is not Like other.
Others?
Don't worry.
I am a virtuous woman.
My inspiration is a virgin Mary.
The Virgin Mary.
You're so pretty.
That scarf is so lovely.
I don't care what you have,
I still love you.
Reggie, I love you.
I'm not a vampire.
I just,
I just hear voices.
It's okay.
It's okay.
Such a great poet.
Such a brilliant guy.
Such an idiot.
David Michaels could do this.
Only David Michaels would be so
ignorant.
He dates a
girl for 10 years
and he doesn't know she's
a complete loon.
Only me.
Only I can do
something like this.
Hello.
Hello, how are you?
Fine,
how is mom?
English?
You told me to start practicing
for Amerikanski, so I do.
Mama is exhausted rom taking
care of you. You have to stop
partying.
It triggers you and you know it.
You're fine when you don't drink
and you don't smoke.
Stop the Bolshevik control!
I am free like Amerikanski!
I am free like Amerikanski!
Free like Amerikanski!
Stop screaming!
When did mama give
you your shot?
It should be... fine.
She seems fine, do you want to
talk to her for a bit please? Of
course.
Regie, My sister of the heart.
Antoine, how are you?
Congratulations for your group.
I'm looking forward to
hearing from you.
Thank you very much. I love you.
I can't wait to
see you in France.
I hope that this visa thing will
be settled very quickly.
Antoine, Antoine,
I'm so happy for you.
You must be so happy between
the child and your new group.
Antoine, I wish
you a good night.
Give a kiss to the kid for me.
I'll do that.
Victoria,
I love to speak in French,
like Jeanne d'Arc.
I'm a bit like
her, Jeanne d'Arc.
She too has heard voices.
Victoria,
you exist.
Jesus is all-powerful.
The demon is like
a tempting snake.
He seeks destruction.
He wants his revenge.
I know mother should have
left you with your papa.
HHHHHHH, hhhhaaaa... Papa is a
hissing snake.
Regie, please,
Mama cannot take the stress.
You know, David, the American,
you said you love him.
He wrote you so many beautiful
poems. And you sent him so many
paintings
and poems.
It's going to be a lovely time.
Mama come back soon.
Please, Regie, tell me
you're going to be okay.
Stop drinking and
smoking the crap.
He writes like a troll.
I crap better poetry
in the morning dew.
Oh, I'm inspired.
You're going to feel better.
He's coming to see you.
You want to look good.
You want to feel great.
Your English is amazing.
I am the chosen one.
I am the one who understands.
The only one who understands.
You understand?
You understand?
He said he's coming.
You want to look good, right?
You blundering fool!
You have always hated
me for my beauty.
Regie, please.
Only two days.
Do you have the doctor
number posted on the wall?
You call the doctor? No!
No!
I know when you try you try to
kill me I remember the day and
and the Moses saw you and
the prophets saw you and felt
your hatred for me!
Regie, please, please
sister, please!
Please, I love you!
I gotta be the most
naive idiot on the planet.
You're an idiot!
This is one of those
times I wish I could drink.
But no, I can't drink.
I can only drink sparkling water
because my parents were wacked!
What a bore.
I love her.
I love her.
Oh God, I love her.
I'm crazier than she is.
Crazier than she is.
They haven't caught me yet.
I waited like a saint.
I hovered like an angel.
I painted for you.
I wrote for you.
I masturbated to you.
I killed my heart to others
for you.
In the blood is our bond.
In the blood is our soul.
In the blood is our mind.
In the blood,
our connection.
Answer, Regie.
Answer,
please, my love, answer.
Phone ringing.
10 years.
Liar.
Liar.
I detest liars.
Don't you feel my heart
calling you? Don't you feel it?
I know you feel it like
I can feel you feel.
I need to hear
your, your voice..
Your spirit.
Regie I need you
to heal my mind.
Are you in there,
my love?
Are you in there,
love of my life?
Are you hurt,
love of my eternity?
I see you in the boiling water.
I see you. Oh I see
you feeling the heat.
I see you feeling The hell.
I see you feeling the hurt
you caused me for decades.
My body.
Do you know my beauty?
My beauty is like a queen.
I am as a gift,
a creation of almighty God.
I am his maid of honor.
I am a reincarnation
of Joan of Arc.
My spirit.
If you love me,
you will find me.
If you love me, you will hurt.
Come on, answer kid.
Ruler of my universe.
I am ruler of my eternity!
You don't look good.
You are so thin.
You stop bothering me,
I like to be a poet,
the beauty fades, dear.
The beauty fades as the sun
fades, sets upon each death,
you.
So much pain,
so much suffering.
But he is chasing you.
He's just your father. Well,
a family member, a close one.
When he looks at
your beauty, you turn away.
You stay out of my soul.
The queen of heaven
has set your bounty.
Death, death, death,
Has hid inside your
Jezebel eyes...
A roaring lion.
Honey...
You are the smartest
Moldovan girl I know.
You know,
I brought this wonderful
Moldovan wine for you.
I don't want you to drink
this shitty village wine.
All the best for you.
Also,
I have brought
for you,
I have brought you weed,
was rolled by El
Chapo Guzman himself.
You Ukrainians,
you lie, even to your mother.
I know he's in the prison.
Do you think I'm stupid?
Who do you think
you're blowing to?
Do you know what
kind of lady I am?
Do you?
Your, your weed is cheap.
It's always cheap.
Gives me headache.
My weed is the best in Chisinau.
I was modeling in Milano.
I was doing print work in Paris.
I know what good weed is
and I know what good wine is.
You cheap Ukrainian dealer and
everything about you is fake and
cheap.
Even your fake diamond ring.
I didn't say you like that.
I see your secrets.
You,
you're probably pro-Putin,
aren't you? I'm not
pro-anything.
I'm anti-stupidity.
I invited you for a smoke.
I was kind to you.
I even gave you
some of my mamaliga.
And do you think you can already
pick my flower and talk about it
like thousand men do on the
street, screaming, shouting like
pigs.
I have Amerikanski who loves
me, he writes for me.
You never send me flowers,
you never send me chocolates,
You never send me one electric
cigarette for my electric
spirit.
My man is a poet.
He writes me poems.
I bet you can't even say
something to me. Like not even
one line of poetry.
Oh my God.
Look, you're an American,
can eat my shit.
But I'll give you, I'll give you
real art. Ah, okay, be creative.
I need to hear a poetry.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what?
I'm Lexus.
I'm Ukrainian.
So I can do everything
I set up to my mind to.
Just try me.
Try me, babe.
Go on.
Listen, listen.
Art.
Huh?
See?
Ha?!
Some disco!
Welcome to Ukrainian club.
Welcome to hell.
Ahhhhh...
Hey you, you're the
sexiest woman I ever met.
You know,
I'll give you the best sex all
the women just dream about.
I'll drive you so fast in my
Porsche, so your head would spin
into a dizzy passion.
I'll kiss you like a madman
right in your perfect Ukrainian
ass.
Oh, sex, sex, sex.
Sex is overrated
and love is underrated.
And sex without love is a
toilet, is a piss and a shit.
And I want you out
of my apartment now.
I want you out.
I invited you, I was kind
to you, now get out of here!
I..I have not... I.
I have my American, he loves
me, and he writes the poetry.
He is a real poet, Your poetry
is porn... I'm not an artist.
But I have money now.
I'll bet your Amerikanski
takes the subway.
Do you hear, Lexus?
Can you hear the voices?
Here in the wall.
Can you? I hear the voices?
Voices in the wall..
Listen, listen, Lexus!
I can hear the voices!
Your boy, Americanski.
Hey,
Hey, what are you doing...

Calm down, welcome...

I can hear the voice of Lenin.
Lenin?
Yes,
Lenin?
Yes.
Here?
Yes. In Chisinau, Moldova?
In this wall here.
In the wall?
Yes. He's
coming for you Regina.
He's coming. He's coming...
For you.
For you.
Coming.
He's coming.
He's in this wall.
He's crying.
He's in the hell.
He's burning in the
hell. He's burning in
Solzhenitsyn an Angel.
Solzhenitsyn.
He's preaching.
Lenin.
He's in hell.
He's crying.
Go ahead. Solzhenitsyn
says that Lenin is a demon
in America now. He is a devil.
Do you, you want to
know what he says Lenin
do you want to know yes give me
four years and I will teach the
children and the seed
that I have sown will
never be uprooted.
To crush the bourgeoisie,
we must grind them in
between the milestones
of inflation
and taxation
and all sexual depravity
in front of the children.
Solzhenitsyn is saying to Lenin,
What good is freedom
for you if you are free?
You'll soon be choked by thorns.
Be glad you are in prison.
You have time to
think about your soul.
And then he says,
Zelinsky sends his people to
fight for the deprivation of the
youth
and the worship
of the Babylon and the blood
of the innocent goes
down to this earth
and the blood of the
innocent is calling,
for the Great Spirit the blood
is calling for the justice
beware, beware, beware!
You, you have read
a lot of books in your schools.
You know what?
When I used to be young,
My mother,
she used to watch TV actresses
like Lyudmila Chursina, Soviet
actress.
I dream about her all the
nights, all the nights.
At first.
At first, I want to kill her.
Because she was Russian.
And the reason why I
want you that much,
you reminds me of her.
I like to take any
woman like my big car.
I am a frog!
I .I.. I am a frog!
Gypsy girl was right? I am...
Cukooo!
I know you was in the hospital.
I am a the frog!
Totally cooked.
You turn me off.
I. I am the frog.
Hey.
I'm leaving. I am the frog!
Here.
There's a special little
joint. I am the frog!
It calms you down.
The frog-You don't have to pay
for it. I am the frog.
Lenin has the legs of the devil!
A lie told often enough
becomes the truth.
A lie told often enough
becomes the truth.
Ahhhhh! Stop. Stop the
voices. Angel Solzhenitsyn.
Ah... make him shut up!
Angel Solzhenitsyn,
Angel Solzhenitsyn please.
Please!
Please!
Angel Solzhenitsyn!
Please make him shut up!
Please!
Ah!
Ah!
Enough!
Enough!
Jesus!
Lexus?
What is it?
It stinks like
vinegar.
A Russian Federation.
Nazi organization.
Don't work with Russia.
A Russian Federation.
Nazi organization.
If you want to rest tonight, I'd
advise you to triple the doze.
No, I would give him the
recommended dose, because I'm a
doctor here, not,
you know, a night
watchman at a cemetery.
So do as I say, please.
Do as I say, please.
Come on.
I'm bleeding
like Joan of Arc.
Quickly, help her,
please. Bring her here.
Thank you, gentle folks.
I'm Jeanne d'Arc.
Please accept me as a heroine.
I remember when I first met your
mother, you told me that you
wanted a doctor
like her. One second.
Let's warm you up before they
bring you your clothes.
Where is your mother?
Where is she?
You should know that she is
in Paris with my sister.
Okay, I speak French too.
Are you sure you want to speak
French even in your country of
origin?
My country is paradise.
I don't belong to this world.
Oh yes, French is
a very beautiful language,
Regina.
But you seem very
distracted. Look at me.
I was
I was at the police station
to report her crime.
But when I arrived at the police
station, I saw, I saw,
I saw...
It's always the
fault of the woman.
All is against us now.
As if we didn't wear the cross.
As if we were snakes...
Snakes...
Of Barbarian blood...
It had been a while
since Reggie disappeared,
but not one day went by that I
didn't write a poem or reminisce
about our beautiful
times we had before.
Good morning sunshine,
good morning moon, good
morning birds in the forest,
good morning Mary, good morning
Davy, good morning Mama and
stars,
stars, sun, sun, stars to shine,
Good morning God and good
morning world.
Good morning and glorify
your soul.
Davy, I love you
so much. My sweetheart, listen,
why don't you tell mama
to turn the camera rectangular.
There you go.
And I speak good morning forest,
good morning birds, and stars
and moon,
and stars and moon,
and dum-dum-dum.
When the sun shined,
I saw darkness.
Nothing I did could take away
the suffering of loneliness
without her.
I tried to go to friends for
help, but nothing seemed to
work.
Two souls apart dying for love
Just remember love's dangerous.
It all comes back again
Questions never end No,
no, Get ahead, go figure it all
out. Pull the trigger, you're
under the curse of love
Without her, all is hell.
Without her love, you'll fail.
Are you dying for love?
Are you dying for love?
Will you risk it all?
Will you risk it all?
Don't say sorry, you're back
on fire lust is primordial,
love is fine It all comes back
again questions never end,
no no The book of pain is open,
play it out feeling something is
better
than not feeling at all
Will you risk it all.
Are you dying for love?
Yeah?
You're a hard man to reach.
And, my time?
My time is not cheap.
Did you find an
email? A phone number?
Regina Romanescu.
Yes, we found her.
It appears she was in a
Moldavian mental institution
for a few weeks.
Back in October.
A little appreciation
for the hard work.
I sent you $2,000 already.
Well,
because I'm such a good guy
and I'm feeling generous,
I went the extra step.
I paid some small boy who works
at the mental institution $300
and he gave me a tad
bit of information.
It seems Miss Romanescu's
mother swooped her up
from the mental institution
and took her out to France.
Do you have an address?
I'm a detective.
I'm not a magician.
No, it's, I'll send it,
I'll send all, anything.
I'll send it all,
just find my Regina,
please.
I do my job quite well.
Son of a bitching
elevator never works.
Hello.
I'm almost done with it.
I got like two more lines
I'll send it to you when
I'm done, I promise.
Yeah, yeah, okay, okay.
Slave driving Brit
colonist bastard.
Are you dying in love?
Are you flying in love?
Are you finding in
love all that is lost?
All that is hell?
All like murder?
Are you dying?
Excuse me, sir, may I
pass? I'm late for school.
Are you dying, love?
Are you hiding your monsters?
Are you keeping the demons? Are
you unleashing hell on earth?
The world without
you is hell on earth.
Without her love all is hell.
Without her love I did fail...
Without her love I
died a thousand deaths,
Without her warm kiss.
I'm sorry!
Without her love, all is hell.
Without her love, I did fail.
Without her love, I'd die a
thousand deaths.
Are you dying for love?
Are you trying for love?
Are you losing yourself?
If hell is real, and it is
real without your voice,
without the gleam in your eyes,
without you my
love, is like birds
without a sky.
Hello, Mr. Silva?
Mr. Michaels,
you are going to
be so, so thrilled.
I found an associate,
a friend of your Miss Regina.
Well that's great news!
What's her name?
Nadia Natrovescu.
Please, please send me her link.
Thank you.
Send you her link.
You know,
I am a man that likes
to see his clients happy.
I gotta get her
contact soon. You know,
I can't keep sending money.
I'm just a poet.
My book sales suck.
You know, nobody wants poetry
anymore. They want rap and sex
and,
you know,
I'm like a horse in the
middle of a car transition.
Boo-hoo-hoo.
That's all that I hear
from these clients.
Boo hoo,
sad sob stories, my
dog died yesterday,
I can't find my
crazy girlfriend.
Well guess what I just did?
I found your crazy girlfriend.
All right?
So what I'm gonna need is $500.
I'm gonna need a check right
away, deposit it into my
account,
and then, and only then,
will you get that final bit
of information.
But as a buddy
favor, guess what?
That's all I'm gonna charge you.
Thank you so much.
My door's knocking, I gotta go.
But please, I'm so thankful.
Get back with me, all right?
Thank you, sir.
How can I help you, sir?
What the hell was that for?
I'm gonna get my gun.
We all know that you
libtards ain't got no gun.
And if you did, you wouldn't
even know how to use it.
My name is Jim Becker.
And earlier today, You had the
pleasure of meeting my younger
daughter,
Kylie, in the stairwell.
You scared
the hell out of her.
And if I ever see
you around her again,
I'm gonna kill you.
I hear you're some kind
of poet or something.
Well, you can take that shit
and cram it up your ass.
Ain't like nobody's gonna miss
your gay old ass anyway.
Oh and one other thing.
I've been in New York
for one month.
I hate everything about it.
And you
know there's one more thing
that I hate more than anything.
It's that gay ass music.
Cut that shit down.
Crazy son of a bitch.
Hello David. I got your
number from detective.
I'm Nadia, Nadia Romanesco.
I'm a dear friend of Regina.
Nadia, listen, I've got
to hear Regina's voice,
please.
I'm begging you please
help me find her.
Hello?
Good morning, David.
Look I must see her.
You have gone mad for Regina.
My sister has that
effect on people.
Looks like a little
case of folie a deux.
Folie a deux?
Yeah, It's a French saying
meaning two becomes mad
together.
Look, David, she has
the birthday of mama today.
I've told her you're here.
She has great feeling for you.
I know, my sister.
I must see her.
I must.
David, the family has decided
that she has the birthday of
Mama today,
and then tomorrow we will bring
her to you at the hotel for the
tea.
We have to do this slowly.
It's a lot to her with her
illness. We cannot get her too
excited.
I'm sure you understand.
Of course, I understand.
I'm sorry, I'm being selfish.
No, David.
It means a lot you
care about my sister.
So many of her so-called friends
have abandoned her.
She only has Nadia,
you and I left.
Her behaviour tries patience.
Thank you, Victoria.
Please tell Regina that
I'm sure she knows you love her.
You know that weird painting,
the one you've done
for her? It's a weird painting.
It almost looked like real
blood. It says, I love Regina.
Yeah, I.
Why you took so long to see her?
You made her dream so long.
That would take a lot longer
than a moment to explain.
You have no idea how sorry I am.
David, now I must
attend to the birthday of Mama.
I will send you a picture
of Regina. She's all dressed up.
Talk tomorrow.
Good night, David.
Goodnight,
So beautiful.
You look like a queen,
not a mental patient.
How?
Why?
Oh, God.
Why does it hurt so much?
What is this
monster called love?
Papa, do you want more wine?
No.
Do you think if you
stare at that clock.
It will start working again.
Regina, there is anna's cake,
do you want to come to sit down?
You know, You cant
mix it with the medicine.
Drink some juice.
I'm not a little girl.
I'll do as I wish.
Child I beg you.
Please.
Aunt Regina,
are even more beautiful
than the princesses of
the fairy tale.
You are the most
beautiful, my darling, it's you.
Happy birthday, mom.
Thank you.
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday dear Mama..
Happy birthday to you,
Aunt Regina,
The big American is
waiting for you at the hotel.
Mom says you're
going to kill him.
I never said that!
I never said that!
What does it mean schizophrenic?
I have never said that Rgi.
It's time to go to bed.
You'll have the cake tomorrow,
I'll keep you a slice.
Sugar is not very good
when you're sick, darling.
Antoine, can you send
her upstairs, please?
Of course.
First, say goodbye
to your grandma.
Say goodbye to your grandma.
But I have the flu.
That's not a problem,
just do it like this.
Good night.
Go on, go to bed.
Good night everyone.
Thank you,
Good night, darling.
See you tomorrow.
Goodbye
Reggie, what's the problem? Dad
always used to tuck in Lily at
night.
It's out of the question!
Victoria will put
her daughter to bed.
Calm down, sister!
Dad can't put kids to sleep!
Only you, you have
the responsibility!
Only you!
Only you! You!
Mom, where is her medicine?
I don't need
this poison anymore!
Sit next to me, I love you.
Come on, sit next to me.
Please.
My sunshine,
calm down.
I love you.
Victoria, bring me a
bag with medicines.
The injection is ready.
Please, I'm ready.
I'll be back in a
minute. I'll be back.
Mom, Happy birthday, my dear.
Thank you, my dear.
I love you. I'll be
back in a minute.
How could you?
You know very well
what you're doing.
You can't even imagine.
This man has traveled
the entire world to see you.
But who do
you really think you are?
Who do you
think you are, Regina?
I thought You wanted me
vomiting in English.
I am not the queen
of this world.
I am the queen of the universe.
Mother Mary herself brings with
me. She came down from Venus,
Battling him.
Who is him?
He's Venus!
Venus!
You stupid.
It's not your fault.
I will go take the medicine.
What are you doing?
Stop it.
Even love must be tried by the
fire before it is seen as gold.
He must be tried in the mind,
body, and the spirit.
That man's love you.
He has been tried, as I have.
No, no.
I've spoken to him,
he's simpatico.
Believe it or not,
you're a fool, sick or not,
if you don't.
If you lose this opportunity.
Mother Mary decided to incarnate
my soul.
In this body to
become her handmaiden.
Before me was Joan of Ark
and now I'm standing
in her shoes.
Do you understand.
The sins of this
world? Do you understand
what I'm saying?
Oh my God, you understand,
Somebody has to
be the messenger,
there is no one, America is now
corrupt, and it's the same thing
that happens to Russia,
is the history repeating itself,
do you understand it?
Do you, Do you understand me?
I smell the alcohol.
Smell it! What have you done?
Antoine dreams of us both.
I saw him look at me.
I look away because I am
loyal and you're my dear sister.
Don't worry, he
doesn't speak English.
I wish You were dead!
My family would have
been finally in peace!
You love giving me that poison.
You always wanted me dead.
I might be sick,
but I am gifted.
I come from a place
you have never seen!
A galaxy far away
from this planet!
It's not your fault!
I made this for you,
the art class
in the hospital.
Thank you.
Thank you.
It's very nice.
It's like the scarves that we
wore at the churches when we
were little girls.
Grand daddy, but I don't
want to go to your room.
I want to go to
my room to sleep.
Yea, yea yea.
Oh!
Papa is with Lily,
take him out of there!
Lily, I am here! The Virgin
Mary is also with us.
I will save you.
Come here, Lily.
Lily!
Antoine!
Oh!
No, no, no.
Don't be afraid.
Don't be afraid.
Don't stay with
your grandfather.
Don't stay
I'm coming in your arms.
I will protect you.
Oh, Lily! I'm not
going to take your grandfather.
To take him. I'm
going to protect you.
Oh, Lily!
Mom! Let's go for Neptune.
Neptune is not far.
Come with me.
Mom!
Call the hospital!
They must come!
Lily!
Let's go for Neptune!
Come on, come on. It's not me!
We're going to let you out now,
And I hope I won't
see you again.
Thank you, thank you very much.
Good morning, I mean, good
evening. What do you want?
I'm sorry, I don't speak
French. Can I see a patient?
He doesn't speak a
word of English, sir.
How can I help you?
You must go.
I'm here to see
Regina Romanescu.
I know who she is,
But impossible, sir.
Visitor hours are over in 10
minutes, and you are not on the
list.
Her sister has told
us no one but family.
I am family.
No, no, no, it's nonsense.
You are not allowed be awake.
I mean, come on,
man. Have a heart.
I thought you guys from France
understood what freedom is.
I just want to see
her a little bit.
Sir, go away before
I arrest you.
I thought you didn't
speak English.
Maybe a little, sir.
What is your name?
David. David Michaels.
Hey, listen.
I flew in all the way
from New York, alright?
I just want to see her just
for a few minutes.
Sir, if you don't keep it down,
I won't speak to you anymore.
You remind me some
of the patients over here.
I heard that Americans are
strange, but this one is
amazing!
I'm going to call the director
of the hospital.
He's the king of France. I am
his mistress. I'm going to call
him
and he's going to shut you up.
There is
no king of France.
You're jealous.
I got her some chocolates, I got
her some cigarettes, some candy.
If you shut up for a little,
I'll give you a pack of
cigarettes.
Let me just see her for 10
minutes I'll give you 500...
Two, Yes ok, shhh.
You.
It's not America, not
everything is about money!
He's rather cute,
isn't he?
He's a bit pudgy, though.
Tonight, just until I see her,
please. I'll come back in a few
days.
Okay, I'll see she gets it.
But she might be asleep.
I am awake!
She's awake!
Thank you for coming to see me!
Regina!
Lubov!
Dragosta!
Now go back to the
hotel and rest!
Come back in a few days.
Alright.
Alright?
Yeah. Should I call
you a cab, sir?
No, no, no, no. I'll walk.
It's only a half a
mile to the hotel.
I have to walk this
excitement off.
Thanks.
Goodnight sir,
Good night.
Goodnight Regina..
Do you love him?
Hey, Adam.
Good morning,
Hey, Adam.
You said I could come
to see Regina today.
Sir,
I have bad news.
Something terrible has happened.
What do you mean?
Regina's father came to visit
her this morning.
After he's left,
she has a horrible accident.
What accident?
Sir,
she fell from the top floor.
She's okay, right?
She's alright?
I'm sorry, sir. She has passed.
What?
Sir,
I'm so sorry.
What do you mean she's passed?
Sir, I'm so sorry.
What do
you mean?
I'm so sorry, sir.
Regina!
Regina!
I'm sorry
Regina!
Regina!
Regina.
NO!
Regina!
Regina...
Good morning sunshine,
good morning moon,
good morning stars,
good morning rain,
good morning flowers.
Good morning...
Regi.
I saw blood thumping
in her veins.
In a nightmare.
She was saying things only
she sees her soul laid bare.
Was she in a dream within a
dream that you think's not a
dream This kind
of woman so rare.
They begin to rip their clothes,
it might seem only wanting
one kiss to say they conquered
her beautiful eyes.
You cannot understand
what they look like.
Until flying skies
She only wanted to be held by
her mother like a daughter
Yet each time they told her no
and she responded no they fought
her they say she tried They say
she died.
But I say she began to kiss the
stars. They say she tried, They
say she died. But I say she
began to kiss the stars.
I know I'm obsessed
with this obsession.
And my mission can fail.
But I hear voices
screaming so silently,
telling me to bail.
If only to see her
on the edge of
eternity reunited.
But I didn't have the courage
She had only the candle I
lighted.
If only the touch of
her skin could be bottled
and glassed.
I'd give each one
way to show the special feeling
I'm amassed she had to go, no
need to ask Why she threw it
away It was
because she could. Some
think of her as strange..
But a thunder storm has
come and gone but so beautiful..
They say she tried,
they say she died,
But I say she began to kiss
the stars They say she tried,
they say she died.
But I say she began
to kiss the stars
Today I fly from New York to
Paris to meet the most beautiful
Moldovan woman.
Dragoste.
The first word I learned online
in the language of the
Moldovans.
Moldova, a country most
Americans know nothing about.
And I did not either.
I was online looking
for something to write about.
I heard Moldova was the
poorest country in Europe.
I know everyone wants
the rich man mentality.
However, I happen to
be a poet so I seek the soul.
And I remember some old saying
that said, blessed are the poor
in spirit
for theirs is the
kingdom of heaven.
So I started looking
towards the poorest.
Being a poet I tried finding
something interesting
and things to write about.
I am a poet.
A failed one, yet still a poet.
I've written a few books, some
you've probably never heard of.
My work was loved
by such a small few.
I get a few diehard fans in the
middle of some countries in
Europe.
They love my work.
Most critics hate me.
It would not matter if I wrote
a follow-up to the Sona 18
by William Shakespeare.
They would despise it.
All over a comment I made over
20 years ago about a businessman
that everyone adores.
Well, life is political nowadays
and I'm so horrible at that
game.
One of my more
known poems began like this.
If love is love,
then why does it kill so easy?
If love is so wonderful,
why so many tears?
If love is good,
Why so much evil in its name?
Time heals, but it never
kills The thing you did to
my soul It was such a lengthy
toll I paid with sleepless
nights and the loss
of any path the loss of any
sane bone in my broken body.
If love,
if only love.
I forgot to say what drogoste
means. It means love in
Romanian,
which is the language
that most Moldovans speak,
along with Russian of course.
I saw online during
my search that the poor people
of Moldova have a great deal of
drinking and drugging and
depression.
Of course, I would
choose that to study.
Most poets, well, at least ones
like me, had horrible
childhoods.
Seeking the betrayal of the
trauma, the hell from the mother
or the father,
Whomever gave us this gift
of the trauma child.
When I was online,
I saw a little site for a film.
As they say, well,
my breath was taken away.
For a moment and
each moment since,
this might sound
absolutely insane.
However, it has taken
me 10 years to make this trip.
She always told me when
we spoke on the phone,
on video,
you always say you're going
to come and you never come.
I did not come.
There was always something
preventing me from coming to
her.
I would promise and then
something would come up.
France.
So much more beautiful than...
RINGTONE Regina!
No, it's a sister, Victoria.
Welcome to France.
Victoria?
I'm sure it was a long trip.
Can I see Regina tonight?
Look David, she has had
a pretty good week this week.
However, the doctors
say she should wait a day
before seeing anyone.
They're trying a different dose
of medicine.
Only half of it. I
don't think it's enough.
However, they're experimenting.
So we monitor tonight
and see how it goes.
This never happened in Moldova.
Maybe they're
giving her too much.
Maybe that's why
she's self-medicating.
To feel better. Tomorrow I
booked the Oscar Wilde room,
you know, the place
where the poet died.
You know, she's a
poet, I'm a poet.
One second David. I'm
on the phone with David,
Victoria's boyfriend.
What are you wearing?
It's horrible.
I love it. It's
Jean-Louis, for the rehearsal,
he wants us to be all
dressed the same way.
I'm on the phone.
I'm sure it's very expensive
the hotel.
And all of this, this
is wonderful of you.
Nevertheless, my sister's
mental health is first.
So, look, get some rest and I'll
call you if anything changes.
I'm sure she's just as excited
to see you as you are.
Both of you, 10
years of waiting.
You must be excited.
Maybe nervous?
Victoria,
it means a lot.
You're helping me with this.
A lot.
No.
Thank you for caring
about my sister, David.
So many of her friends have
abandoned her since she got
sick.
Get some rest.
It took me a few years
to realize something was wrong,
something was off
about her. Yet it was a mystery.
Sometimes I would call her
and she would be so alive,
so filled with love and energy.
She would show me her
paintings, her poetry.
We loved writing poetry
and reciting to each other.
Regina,
I left my glasses in
the living room, sorry.
Hey, no, no, no, no!
Show me!
Show
me the painting. The
one in the castle.
You like?
Yeah!
That's my favorite one. God,
I miss Europe so much.
I really do.
I love the castles.
You know, you have more castles
than we do hamburger
joints. Ha ha ha!
You're my dream,
you're my everything.
My nothingness in a dark cave
each day without your love.
And you, like my heaven,
Like my hell, burning my heart.
Do you not see my eyes on fire
for you? Do you not see my heart
erupting for you?
Do you not see, feel
my soul is near you?
Die, die, Die, summer
wind, until you carry him to me.
It's,
It's so brilliant.
Regina, it's brilliant.
Your poetry.
When will you come?
If you don't come,
someone will come
and take me from you.
I'll be in Moldova
soon, okay? I promise.
I'll come.
I'll be there. You just
give me a little more time.
I have a deadline
for this book. I...
You know, I have to
eat. We have to eat, yes?
Did you... Did you
send me my cigarettes?
Yes,
a big box.
It's coming soon.
It'll be delivered Monday,
okay?
And the chocolates?
And the chocolates.
And cola zeros,
a whole
box.
Really?
Really.
Regina,
look, I'm trying
to come there, I really am.
I know it was one excuse after
the other, and you know, the
pandemic hit,
and I was coming.
Do you still love me?
I only love and trust God.
Oh God, you are my only friend.
You are my only hope.
You are my spinning light.
It's amazing.
It's amazing and your poetry
is even better than mine.
What is that painting?
No, no, that picture.
Who is that? I've
never seen that.
Oh, oh.
That's my sweet sister.
She...
Victoria.
Pobeda.
It means victory.
She from my mother, another
first husband, a guy from Paris.
We are very close.
Well, sometimes.
I love to speak in French.
J'adore le parler en franais.
(I love speaking in French)
She looks like she
cares for you deeply.
Are you alright, honey?
Did you just take a drink of...
What's in that plastic?
It was a juice, yeah?
You know you cant smoke weed,
honey. Remeber, you have issues.
You were going to tell me more
about it. You said you were in
the hospital
with Mama from time to time.
I know that you're unbalanced
sometimes. I can see it.
But I don't understand it all.
You have to give
me more information.
You will never understand me.
Only Jesus understands me.
Only the spirit can fathom
who Regina Romanescu is.
You will never understand me.
I see you smoking, Regina.
Look at you, you funny
girl. I bought them, remember?
I see you smoke it.
You don't have to
hide it from me.
You don't have to
hide anything from me.
You know I want some wine.
You know I want some smoke.
You know I want to go...
You take me swimming.
I want you to take me swimming
I want to be in nature David
you know I hate alcohol you know
I don't like drugs I've seen it
destroy
my mother she died
from, my father, my sister
come on a little glass
of wine, a little smoke...
Mama?
Oh my God, just how
much can you smoke here?
Hello, Mama.
David, I must go, mama needs me.
But I want...
Hello?
What the hell you hang up on me
for? You don't even say goodbye.
What the hell is wrong with you?
Don't hang up on me again!
She's nuts.
I love your painting.
You're better than me.
Your poetry is way
better than mine.
You're brilliant.
What the fuck outta
here bro? Quit starting
that black privilege shit
bro, this is my boy.
Take it easy, Take
it easy. Here,
here.
What's all this modern
day racist crap man?
When I was young we used
to go party in Manhattan.
We'd have blacks, Puerto Ricans,
whites, Muslims, Jews,
everybody was having a good
time. Even Andy Warhol.
Andy Warhol?
I didn't give it
to him first. This
little Puerto Rican
connection bullshit.
No, no, I gave it to
him first because he's older.
That was it.
Did you make a ton?
You're breaking my
balls or what, man?
Inflation, man. Inflation.
Hey, I tell you what.
I'll make a deal with you.
You listen to one of my poems,
and I'll give you an extra five
spot,
alright?
Look, I got this beautiful woman
in Eastern Europe.
She's gorgeous, man.
She's smart, she's intelligent.
She speaks all these different
languages. She's amazing, man.
It's too much
information, buddy.
Well, look, just listen
to my poem and, you
know, Look, I normally
don't do this stuff,
man, because I'm just trying
to start an experiment
on the street to see what people
think. Normally, I just give it
to the publisher.
Hey, bro, you want
me to listen to this shit,
you're going to have
to give me another
five bucks.
I'm going to
man. Just can I sit?
Thanks, what's your name?
Mikey.
Myself seemed so astray,
I did not want...
Myself seemed so astray, I did
not want to see you in her yet
her ghost appears again And I
was yesterday in the rain, in
pain
and then the sun shined why
my soul did not feel
its rays I tried so hard to see
your soul and the mystery of it
I kindly appeared
as a knight with no armor,
trying to forgive myself of the
pain of
your allure, because only
love can create such a fool.
Beware of this mystery.
Your kiss, it's only rule.
And...
Bro, is there more?
Almost done, almost done.
I will love you like a woman, if
not I will love you like a
sister,
if not I'll love you like a
mother, if not I'll love you
like the anointed one said,
Like an enemy, I'll love you.
You like it?
Hang on, friend, that's some
good shit. That's some old
Shakespearean shit,
but,
come on, bro.
You need to talk to somebody or
something. You can't be walking
around here acting
a fool on this shit.
Tripping.
Thanks man.
Thanks for listening.
I appreciate it man. Take care.
You're the
one that needs to take care bro.
You walking around here giving
this shorty
all this love, you don't even
know she gonna love you back.
There's this girl in a box
living down by the river.
That bitch is crazy. She been
trying to ruin me for a decade.
You gotta play
bitches all sometimes.
Can't be giving in
like that. Know what I mean?
Thanks for the advice,
man. All right, man.
Hold on, Reggie.
Hold on Reggie,
hold on I'll be right there.
Hold on.
I'm coming.
Hey.
What you doing, girl?
I missed you.
How you doing?
You're creating, I know you.
You don't know me.
Only God knows my heart.
Honey, how are
you? How's Moldova?
Did you send me my cigarettes?
Yeah, they arrived
Wednesday, don't worry.
Oh no!
You lie!
You say you come here!
I'm sorry.
I know, I know.
I keep saying it.
It's my work, it's very
difficult, and I'm almost done
with this book.
I'm so sorry.
Oh no!
Are you all right?
Do you want to hear my poem?
Yes, honey, go ahead.
Who's that,
whose legs are on
your couch there?
Amerikanske liar!
She's my friend.
This guy bites my head off.
Yea, who knows,
Liar.
Liar.
American!
Are you lying to me?
Are you playing with me?
Are you using me like a toy?
Calm down, honey,
alright? Calm down.
Okay, look, look.
Look, just read your poem. Kiss
me, I wanna be kissed by your
poem.
I love you, come on.
No no, No kiss, not until we
go in front of the Creator
in the church you promised
me in front of the church
yes honey first kiss in front
of our Creator I promise.
Now read your poem I
want to hear it come on
shadows are deep, our souls
deep, our hunger deep, like an
empty lake I look
for a dream from
our love. You are empty.
And your words are filled
with making me dream.
You, you're making me dream.
You make me dream!
And then I wake up.
I wake up.
You're not here.
I,
I damn our love.
I damn our souls.
Heaven is not a place to enjoy
with love lost daily.
Fill up
our lake.
Of love.
Regina,
it's beautiful.
We'll publish all your work, all
your paintings, all your
creations.
I'll give you all I can.
I'm Sorry, I've had to stay to
pay for my sons And you know,
I have to take care
of them and it's just one thing
after another I see in your
eyes you're not forgiving me.
I need your
forgiveness. I'm coming.
I'm coming.
Answer the damn
phone, answer it!
My heart doesn't stop bleeding.
Doesn't stop bleeding.
You witch.
You don't answer the damn phone.
Mother,
Where are you?
Are you on the stars?
Are you out there on the stars?
Are you drinking there too?
Can you get drunk on the stars?
What kind of a mother leaves
their children in a dirty,
filthy,
bug-infested
tramp hole.
They say it gets better
when you're older.
It gets worse.
Regina.
Regina.
I'll get you more smokes.
I get you more chocolates.
I'll give you,
I'll give you
everything you need.
I'll give you
my heart,
I'll give you my finger.
The middle finger, that's
what you get all of you.
Regina?
No, it's actually your employer.
Your lovely,
loyal publisher who managed
to get you a 20k advance
but yet,
surprise surprise, hasn't
received any poems in his email.
I have to say this is extremely
unprofessional darling.
How you doin', Mr. Windsor?
Well you see, that's the
problem, isn't it darling?
I never hear from you.
I'm on it.
I got some great stuff.
You're gonna to love it.
It better be good.
Jack Kerouac better roll
over in his grave.
I'd like to see
you in my office.
Monday morning, 10 o'clock
sharp. With a full binder of all
the poems.
Ha ha ha I'm looking
forward to it.
I'm leaving for Europe
in a week, that's it.
I gotta meet someone,
I gotta see her.
Don't mean to offend you, but
she could be like a bloody
vampire.
Henry don't every talk to me
like that again. Good bye.
Oh.
Hey, wake up, wake
up. I want to smoke.
Wait, wait. Lexus wanted you to
woo him. But you lost your mind
and hit him.
Please woo him, we really need
it, we really need it, we really
need it.
Hey. Hey hey hey,
what's goin on?
Whadda fuck?
I don't wanna hear
this racist language.
The language of slave people.
The language of death.
Hate them all.
I hate them all.
You,
speak English please.
I will speak in the
language I want.
Do you understand me?
No, no, no.
I don't want to hear
that fucking Russian language.
I want you to speak
English to me, okay?
You want something in life?
You should give something,
in return.
Life is so simple.
Or maybe your girls from Ukraine
give their flowers for this
fucking talk
of weed.
Or your pretty boy's face.
You know, your grandmother was
Ukrainian, that's why, you have
perfect ass.
What?
Classless thug.
I like men with
brain bigger than
the size of a toad.
I like older men,
wiser, not this.
He really loves me.
Ha..
Mom?
Come on what's this!
What is this crap.
Who are you? Get away
from my daughter! Come on.
What you want?
Your daughter partied all night.
She's a tramp.
He is lying.
He never touched me.
Revenge for Ukraine, good
doctor...? Transnistrian doctor.
Doctor, doctor, doctor.
So don't say anything by
your Russian speaking mouth.
Stop.
Get out of here!
Go! Get out of here.
Yea, Yea sure!
Get out of here!
After my lady.
Run along.
Move move on.
Mom, he didn't mean to hurt you.
I understand you're angry.
They will ruin your
life! All your life.
Come on, settle down.
I will make you, what you need.
Mom, he loves me. He Loves me.
He loves me.
Who? The one who ran
away from his country?
No, mom, an American, David.
Chocolate bars, mom,
cigarettes, poems.
He's not some mama's boy,
He really loves me, mom.
Yes.
Wait, wait. Mom will
make you feel better.
You know that mom is a doctor.
You will be ok.
Ouch!
It hurts so bad mom!
Your injections turn
me into a sleepy cat.
It's ok. Here, here, here, here.
Come on,
come on.
It's all right.
Calm down.
You will not let them take
me to the hospital, right?
Please, please.
Please, mommy.
No, no, calm down, calm down.
Listen,
I will have to go to
France to your sister.
I haven't seen my
grandchild since born.
But I can't let you stay
with these hooligans.
I just can't stand it.
Promise me that you
will be a good girl.
I need three days to
prepare my documents.
Do you promise to
be a good girl?
Yes, I promise.
Mom,
he loves me.
Is he some kind of
online ghost again?
No,
he is a real man. He is David.
Tell me about David. Your father
never discussed him? He won't
come.
Shhhhhh.
Dad, he is wrong.
Mom. David is not like that.
David will come.
He's not like that.
He writes me poems.
He writes like me.
Mom, he feels like me.
He dreams like me.
He loves like me.
He believes like me that Jesus
Christ shed blood for us,
just like me, Mom.
But you are not like Dad.
You believe that he will come.
When I was a child,
the Bolsheviks tore
my cross and threw it away.
They sent my father
to the Gulag.
They burned our church.
The world will
never know about it.
How we lived, I don't know.
Nobody helped me.
Nobody.
Mom, God tests the strong.
You know, you know,
mom, it's a test of faith.
Lullaby.
Henry,
The plague ended a year ago.
You've always fought the powers
to be and you know what, to your
detriment sir.
You want to see my poem?
No, no, no, no.
Stay exactly
where you are. Ha, ha, ha, ha.
Hand it over to me.
I'm this far away.
Hey, Henry, you're OK.
What happened to your finger?
Look, why are these
poems written, not typed?
And I have to show this
chicken scrap to the big three?
A face like a sun
that never dies.
Her soul bright
in my heart like a new start.
As if a creation
of strange galaxies
in my mind forever
touching my soul.
She's deep in my mind,
With her I'm gladly blind.
Death is without her kiss.
Look, I hope you're
not falling in love.
My personal life is none
of you or big three's business.
But one has to mature
at some point in life.
Fifty-four is a good
time to start, darling.
Stop calling me darling.
I don't like it.
It's weird.
Do you know what? Why should
I try to get your funds?
You are a total tosser
You always always burn bridges.
You're an expert at one thing
and you know what that is
burning bridges.
Thank you all my
heart. Thank you all
my soul you don't. I'm free you
get it? I'm free, I'm a free
man, I have my own set
of rules. I'm not right
or left I'm a soaring eagle
I'll blow your bridges
to pieces in my heart in
my mind. I don't
care! I don't care!
David will you please calm down
look I have known you for 20
years,
and I've, I have to say, I've
never seen you so distraught.
What's wrong?
I just feel a lot for this girl.
You have no idea how unique she
is.
How special she is.
I want to go to Europe,
I want to see her. She sends me.
What's her name?
Regina.
Regina Romanescu.
She's the most elegant,
truthful person I know.
She's no angel. No one is.
But she's something,
something so honest about her.
Even when she hides
in her shadows.
You sure you're not
a poet, darling?
Do you
know what, actually?
I know a really fantastic
therapist, if you ever want to
see him.
In fact,
I'll pay for the first
session. How's that?
Yes?
Hi, sweetheart.
I'm at my agent's.
I've got to sign some tax
documents, but I couldn't wait
to hear your voice.
I had to hear your voice.
Do you miss me?
I'm sorry.
I was just mad,
mad, mad with you.
Hey, it's gonna happen.
I'm finally gonna see you.
I spoke to my agent
today. It's all gonna work.
Regina,
I promise.
The sound of your voice
is all I live for.
Do you remember the first word
in Romanian I spoke to you,
that I taught you?
Dragoste, Dragoste.
Regina, I love you.
And Russian?
Lubov, my dear.
It hurts,
doesn't it, David?
Love hurts.
Love hurts so much.
If you don't come this time,
I'm gonna make you
suffer in eternity.
I'm gonna kill you with my mind.
I used your line
on my agent today.
I learned so much from you.
Your words are incredible.
I told him I'll kill
you with my mind.
Anyway, when I see you, I'm
gonna buy you the most beautiful
dress.
You can't buy God, you can't buy
Jesus, and you can't buy Regina
Romanescu!
This time you will come?
Yes?
This time I swear.
Don't swear, no, no.
Just, just, just,
just do it already. Just come.
I want to hold you. Just, just
look at me with your eyes.
Your beautiful,
soulful eyes.
Thank you.
I love this picture.
You send me.
I carry it with me.
I printed it out.
It is the most beautiful
gift anyone has ever.
I will do it.
I will bleed for you.
I will bleed for you.
Regina.
Regina, what are you doing?
No!
No! What are you doing?
Stop! David,
I'm with a client. Keep it down.
I'm sorry.
Look, I can't scream in here.
No! I will do it!
I will bleed for my love!
Like the picture!
Like you on the picture send me
with the blood!
I will do it! Look!
No, no, no!
Look, David! Please,
please, please!
I'm gonna bleed!
Put the knife away!
I'm gonna bleed
for you! I'm gonna show you.
Sweetheart, listen.
Just put it away.
Put the knife back in
the drawer, please.
Do it. I'm gonna bleed for you.
I'm gonna
show you
how much I love you.
That was so stupid!
Please, I was stupid to do this.
Put the damn knife away.
Your love was stupid
for me! NO! No, no, no.
I mean, I'm glad, honey.
I didn't mean it that way at
all. I'm glad I did what I did
for you.
My love for you is...
Is uncontrollable.
And unfathomable,
like, The light of a star.
I love you, but I
must protect you.
I can't allow you to do the same
as me. Please just put it away.
Put it away!
Don't leave me for long!
Do not! Do you understand me?
I've read your work.
I feel your words.
You are special.
No, I am not.
I'm only a has-been.
I'm nothing of the sort.
I only write so I can love you.
I only write to send you
chocolates. I only write to send
you smokes.
I only write to get the
plane to come and see you.
I only write to be able
to buy things to make you smile.
To be able to tell
you I love you.
Just wait a little longer and
I'm almost there to hold you.
My dear,
it's time to get the shot.
I'm leaving, and it will
keep you in shape, okay?
Mom, say hi to David.
David, she speaks a
little English. Hello, David.
Hello, Mom.
Your guy is interesting.
She says you're handsome.
For a big guy.
Oh no, no, David.
No, you are beautiful.
Be careful what you say
to yourself, my David.
Be careful with your mind.
Do you want to see
me get my shot?
Turn off the computer.
Aren't you ashamed
that he is watching all this?
Does he know about
your problems?
David, mama wants to know, if
you know, what's wrong with me.
Well she's moody mama, like all
women. Maybe we should not give
her any wine then.
She's not very
good with wine and:
She gets very strange.
You know, you shouldn't drink
Regina. And that time you were
high,
I saw you smoking.
You were way out of line.
Damn, half of the
medicine spilled on the floor.
Mom, I'm sorry,
it hurts so much this time.
Honey are you ok?
Are you alright?
I'm sorry David, It h...
Come on, a little bit.
Let me do it. I'm sorry.
Sweetheart.
I'm sorry.
No, it's ok...
It happens sometimes.
It hurts.
Reggie, tell me my heart,
my soul, what is it?
Just tell me what's
wrong with you.
I'm schizophrenic.
But ah...
It's not as taboo as it seems.
I mean, there are spectrums,
different spectrums.
You wasted half the
medicine on the floor.
Have to let you sleep,
you should be sleepy.
David, mama says
I gotta go rest.
I get really dopey
after the shot.
Regina, don't worry. I'll
learn how to give you the shot.
I like this man for you.
He is not Like other.
Others?
Don't worry.
I am a virtuous woman.
My inspiration is a virgin Mary.
The Virgin Mary.
You're so pretty.
That scarf is so lovely.
I don't care what you have,
I still love you.
Reggie, I love you.
I'm not a vampire.
I just,
I just hear voices.
It's okay.
It's okay.
Such a great poet.
Such a brilliant guy.
Such an idiot.
David Michaels could do this.
Only David Michaels would be so
ignorant.
He dates a
girl for 10 years
and he doesn't know she's
a complete loon.
Only me.
Only I can do
something like this.
Hello.
Hello, how are you?
Fine,
how is mom?
English?
You told me to start practicing
for Amerikanski, so I do.
Mama is exhausted rom taking
care of you. You have to stop
partying.
It triggers you and you know it.
You're fine when you don't drink
and you don't smoke.
Stop the Bolshevik control!
I am free like Amerikanski!
I am free like Amerikanski!
Free like Amerikanski!
Stop screaming!
When did mama give
you your shot?
It should be... fine.
She seems fine, do you want to
talk to her for a bit please? Of
course.
Regie, My sister of the heart.
Antoine, how are you?
Congratulations for your group.
I'm looking forward to
hearing from you.
Thank you very much. I love you.
I can't wait to
see you in France.
I hope that this visa thing will
be settled very quickly.
Antoine, Antoine,
I'm so happy for you.
You must be so happy between
the child and your new group.
Antoine, I wish
you a good night.
Give a kiss to the kid for me.
I'll do that.
Victoria,
I love to speak in French,
like Jeanne d'Arc.
I'm a bit like
her, Jeanne d'Arc.
She too has heard voices.
Victoria,
you exist.
Jesus is all-powerful.
The demon is like
a tempting snake.
He seeks destruction.
He wants his revenge.
I know mother should have
left you with your papa.
HHHHHHH, hhhhaaaa... Papa is a
hissing snake.
Regie, please,
Mama cannot take the stress.
You know, David, the American,
you said you love him.
He wrote you so many beautiful
poems. And you sent him so many
paintings
and poems.
It's going to be a lovely time.
Mama come back soon.
Please, Regie, tell me
you're going to be okay.
Stop drinking and
smoking the crap.
He writes like a troll.
I crap better poetry
in the morning dew.
Oh, I'm inspired.
You're going to feel better.
He's coming to see you.
You want to look good.
You want to feel great.
Your English is amazing.
I am the chosen one.
I am the one who understands.
The only one who understands.
You understand?
You understand?
He said he's coming.
You want to look good, right?
You blundering fool!
You have always hated
me for my beauty.
Regie, please.
Only two days.
Do you have the doctor
number posted on the wall?
You call the doctor? No!
No!
I know when you try you try to
kill me I remember the day and
and the Moses saw you and
the prophets saw you and felt
your hatred for me!
Regie, please, please
sister, please!
Please, I love you!
I gotta be the most
naive idiot on the planet.
You're an idiot!
This is one of those
times I wish I could drink.
But no, I can't drink.
I can only drink sparkling water
because my parents were wacked!
What a bore.
I love her.
I love her.
Oh God, I love her.
I'm crazier than she is.
Crazier than she is.
They haven't caught me yet.
I waited like a saint.
I hovered like an angel.
I painted for you.
I wrote for you.
I masturbated to you.
I killed my heart to others
for you.
In the blood is our bond.
In the blood is our soul.
In the blood is our mind.
In the blood,
our connection.
Answer, Regie.
Answer,
please, my love, answer.
Phone ringing.
10 years.
Liar.
Liar.
I detest liars.
Don't you feel my heart
calling you? Don't you feel it?
I know you feel it like
I can feel you feel.
I need to hear
your, your voice..
Your spirit.
Regie I need you
to heal my mind.
Are you in there,
my love?
Are you in there,
love of my life?
Are you hurt,
love of my eternity?
I see you in the boiling water.
I see you. Oh I see
you feeling the heat.
I see you feeling The hell.
I see you feeling the hurt
you caused me for decades.
My body.
Do you know my beauty?
My beauty is like a queen.
I am as a gift,
a creation of almighty God.
I am his maid of honor.
I am a reincarnation
of Joan of Arc.
My spirit.
If you love me,
you will find me.
If you love me, you will hurt.
Come on, answer kid.
Ruler of my universe.
I am ruler of my eternity!
You don't look good.
You are so thin.
You stop bothering me,
I like to be a poet,
the beauty fades, dear.
The beauty fades as the sun
fades, sets upon each death,
you.
So much pain,
so much suffering.
But he is chasing you.
He's just your father. Well,
a family member, a close one.
When he looks at
your beauty, you turn away.
You stay out of my soul.
The queen of heaven
has set your bounty.
Death, death, death,
Has hid inside your
Jezebel eyes...
A roaring lion.
Honey...
You are the smartest
Moldovan girl I know.
You know,
I brought this wonderful
Moldovan wine for you.
I don't want you to drink
this shitty village wine.
All the best for you.
Also,
I have brought
for you,
I have brought you weed,
was rolled by El
Chapo Guzman himself.
You Ukrainians,
you lie, even to your mother.
I know he's in the prison.
Do you think I'm stupid?
Who do you think
you're blowing to?
Do you know what
kind of lady I am?
Do you?
Your, your weed is cheap.
It's always cheap.
Gives me headache.
My weed is the best in Chisinau.
I was modeling in Milano.
I was doing print work in Paris.
I know what good weed is
and I know what good wine is.
You cheap Ukrainian dealer and
everything about you is fake and
cheap.
Even your fake diamond ring.
I didn't say you like that.
I see your secrets.
You,
you're probably pro-Putin,
aren't you? I'm not
pro-anything.
I'm anti-stupidity.
I invited you for a smoke.
I was kind to you.
I even gave you
some of my mamaliga.
And do you think you can already
pick my flower and talk about it
like thousand men do on the
street, screaming, shouting like
pigs.
I have Amerikanski who loves
me, he writes for me.
You never send me flowers,
you never send me chocolates,
You never send me one electric
cigarette for my electric
spirit.
My man is a poet.
He writes me poems.
I bet you can't even say
something to me. Like not even
one line of poetry.
Oh my God.
Look, you're an American,
can eat my shit.
But I'll give you, I'll give you
real art. Ah, okay, be creative.
I need to hear a poetry.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what?
I'm Lexus.
I'm Ukrainian.
So I can do everything
I set up to my mind to.
Just try me.
Try me, babe.
Go on.
Listen, listen.
Art.
Huh?
See?
Ha?!
Some disco!
Welcome to Ukrainian club.
Welcome to hell.
Ahhhhh...
Hey you, you're the
sexiest woman I ever met.
You know,
I'll give you the best sex all
the women just dream about.
I'll drive you so fast in my
Porsche, so your head would spin
into a dizzy passion.
I'll kiss you like a madman
right in your perfect Ukrainian
ass.
Oh, sex, sex, sex.
Sex is overrated
and love is underrated.
And sex without love is a
toilet, is a piss and a shit.
And I want you out
of my apartment now.
I want you out.
I invited you, I was kind
to you, now get out of here!
I..I have not... I.
I have my American, he loves
me, and he writes the poetry.
He is a real poet, Your poetry
is porn... I'm not an artist.
But I have money now.
I'll bet your Amerikanski
takes the subway.
Do you hear, Lexus?
Can you hear the voices?
Here in the wall.
Can you? I hear the voices?
Voices in the wall..
Listen, listen, Lexus!
I can hear the voices!
Your boy, Americanski.
Hey,
Hey, what are you doing...

Calm down, welcome...

I can hear the voice of Lenin.
Lenin?
Yes,
Lenin?
Yes.
Here?
Yes. In Chisinau, Moldova?
In this wall here.
In the wall?
Yes. He's
coming for you Regina.
He's coming. He's coming...
For you.
For you.
Coming.
He's coming.
He's in this wall.
He's crying.
He's in the hell.
He's burning in the
hell. He's burning in
Solzhenitsyn an Angel.
Solzhenitsyn.
He's preaching.
Lenin.
He's in hell.
He's crying.
Go ahead. Solzhenitsyn
says that Lenin is a demon
in America now. He is a devil.
Do you, you want to
know what he says Lenin
do you want to know yes give me
four years and I will teach the
children and the seed
that I have sown will
never be uprooted.
To crush the bourgeoisie,
we must grind them in
between the milestones
of inflation
and taxation
and all sexual depravity
in front of the children.
Solzhenitsyn is saying to Lenin,
What good is freedom
for you if you are free?
You'll soon be choked by thorns.
Be glad you are in prison.
You have time to
think about your soul.
And then he says,
Zelinsky sends his people to
fight for the deprivation of the
youth
and the worship
of the Babylon and the blood
of the innocent goes
down to this earth
and the blood of the
innocent is calling,
for the Great Spirit the blood
is calling for the justice
beware, beware, beware!
You, you have read
a lot of books in your schools.
You know what?
When I used to be young,
My mother,
she used to watch TV actresses
like Lyudmila Chursina, Soviet
actress.
I dream about her all the
nights, all the nights.
At first.
At first, I want to kill her.
Because she was Russian.
And the reason why I
want you that much,
you reminds me of her.
I like to take any
woman like my big car.
I am a frog!
I .I.. I am a frog!
Gypsy girl was right? I am...
Cukooo!
I know you was in the hospital.
I am a the frog!
Totally cooked.
You turn me off.
I. I am the frog.
Hey.
I'm leaving. I am the frog!
Here.
There's a special little
joint. I am the frog!
It calms you down.
The frog-You don't have to pay
for it. I am the frog.
Lenin has the legs of the devil!
A lie told often enough
becomes the truth.
A lie told often enough
becomes the truth.
Ahhhhh! Stop. Stop the
voices. Angel Solzhenitsyn.
Ah... make him shut up!
Angel Solzhenitsyn,
Angel Solzhenitsyn please.
Please!
Please!
Angel Solzhenitsyn!
Please make him shut up!
Please!
Ah!
Ah!
Enough!
Enough!
Jesus!
Lexus?
What is it?
It stinks like
vinegar.
A Russian Federation.
Nazi organization.
Don't work with Russia.
A Russian Federation.
Nazi organization.
If you want to rest tonight, I'd
advise you to triple the doze.
No, I would give him the
recommended dose, because I'm a
doctor here, not,
you know, a night
watchman at a cemetery.
So do as I say, please.
Do as I say, please.
Come on.
I'm bleeding
like Joan of Arc.
Quickly, help her,
please. Bring her here.
Thank you, gentle folks.
I'm Jeanne d'Arc.
Please accept me as a heroine.
I remember when I first met your
mother, you told me that you
wanted a doctor
like her. One second.
Let's warm you up before they
bring you your clothes.
Where is your mother?
Where is she?
You should know that she is
in Paris with my sister.
Okay, I speak French too.
Are you sure you want to speak
French even in your country of
origin?
My country is paradise.
I don't belong to this world.
Oh yes, French is
a very beautiful language,
Regina.
But you seem very
distracted. Look at me.
I was
I was at the police station
to report her crime.
But when I arrived at the police
station, I saw, I saw,
I saw...
It's always the
fault of the woman.
All is against us now.
As if we didn't wear the cross.
As if we were snakes...
Snakes...
Of Barbarian blood...
It had been a while
since Reggie disappeared,
but not one day went by that I
didn't write a poem or reminisce
about our beautiful
times we had before.
Good morning sunshine,
good morning moon, good
morning birds in the forest,
good morning Mary, good morning
Davy, good morning Mama and
stars,
stars, sun, sun, stars to shine,
Good morning God and good
morning world.
Good morning and glorify
your soul.
Davy, I love you
so much. My sweetheart, listen,
why don't you tell mama
to turn the camera rectangular.
There you go.
And I speak good morning forest,
good morning birds, and stars
and moon,
and stars and moon,
and dum-dum-dum.
When the sun shined,
I saw darkness.
Nothing I did could take away
the suffering of loneliness
without her.
I tried to go to friends for
help, but nothing seemed to
work.
Two souls apart dying for love
Just remember love's dangerous.
It all comes back again
Questions never end No,
no, Get ahead, go figure it all
out. Pull the trigger, you're
under the curse of love
Without her, all is hell.
Without her love, you'll fail.
Are you dying for love?
Are you dying for love?
Will you risk it all?
Will you risk it all?
Don't say sorry, you're back
on fire lust is primordial,
love is fine It all comes back
again questions never end,
no no The book of pain is open,
play it out feeling something is
better
than not feeling at all
Will you risk it all.
Are you dying for love?
Yeah?
You're a hard man to reach.
And, my time?
My time is not cheap.
Did you find an
email? A phone number?
Regina Romanescu.
Yes, we found her.
It appears she was in a
Moldavian mental institution
for a few weeks.
Back in October.
A little appreciation
for the hard work.
I sent you $2,000 already.
Well,
because I'm such a good guy
and I'm feeling generous,
I went the extra step.
I paid some small boy who works
at the mental institution $300
and he gave me a tad
bit of information.
It seems Miss Romanescu's
mother swooped her up
from the mental institution
and took her out to France.
Do you have an address?
I'm a detective.
I'm not a magician.
No, it's, I'll send it,
I'll send all, anything.
I'll send it all,
just find my Regina,
please.
I do my job quite well.
Son of a bitching
elevator never works.
Hello.
I'm almost done with it.
I got like two more lines
I'll send it to you when
I'm done, I promise.
Yeah, yeah, okay, okay.
Slave driving Brit
colonist bastard.
Are you dying in love?
Are you flying in love?
Are you finding in
love all that is lost?
All that is hell?
All like murder?
Are you dying?
Excuse me, sir, may I
pass? I'm late for school.
Are you dying, love?
Are you hiding your monsters?
Are you keeping the demons? Are
you unleashing hell on earth?
The world without
you is hell on earth.
Without her love all is hell.
Without her love I did fail...
Without her love I
died a thousand deaths,
Without her warm kiss.
I'm sorry!
Without her love, all is hell.
Without her love, I did fail.
Without her love, I'd die a
thousand deaths.
Are you dying for love?
Are you trying for love?
Are you losing yourself?
If hell is real, and it is
real without your voice,
without the gleam in your eyes,
without you my
love, is like birds
without a sky.
Hello, Mr. Silva?
Mr. Michaels,
you are going to
be so, so thrilled.
I found an associate,
a friend of your Miss Regina.
Well that's great news!
What's her name?
Nadia Natrovescu.
Please, please send me her link.
Thank you.
Send you her link.
You know,
I am a man that likes
to see his clients happy.
I gotta get her
contact soon. You know,
I can't keep sending money.
I'm just a poet.
My book sales suck.
You know, nobody wants poetry
anymore. They want rap and sex
and,
you know,
I'm like a horse in the
middle of a car transition.
Boo-hoo-hoo.
That's all that I hear
from these clients.
Boo hoo,
sad sob stories, my
dog died yesterday,
I can't find my
crazy girlfriend.
Well guess what I just did?
I found your crazy girlfriend.
All right?
So what I'm gonna need is $500.
I'm gonna need a check right
away, deposit it into my
account,
and then, and only then,
will you get that final bit
of information.
But as a buddy
favor, guess what?
That's all I'm gonna charge you.
Thank you so much.
My door's knocking, I gotta go.
But please, I'm so thankful.
Get back with me, all right?
Thank you, sir.
How can I help you, sir?
What the hell was that for?
I'm gonna get my gun.
We all know that you
libtards ain't got no gun.
And if you did, you wouldn't
even know how to use it.
My name is Jim Becker.
And earlier today, You had the
pleasure of meeting my younger
daughter,
Kylie, in the stairwell.
You scared
the hell out of her.
And if I ever see
you around her again,
I'm gonna kill you.
I hear you're some kind
of poet or something.
Well, you can take that shit
and cram it up your ass.
Ain't like nobody's gonna miss
your gay old ass anyway.
Oh and one other thing.
I've been in New York
for one month.
I hate everything about it.
And you
know there's one more thing
that I hate more than anything.
It's that gay ass music.
Cut that shit down.
Crazy son of a bitch.
Hello David. I got your
number from detective.
I'm Nadia, Nadia Romanesco.
I'm a dear friend of Regina.
Nadia, listen, I've got
to hear Regina's voice,
please.
I'm begging you please
help me find her.
Hello?
Good morning, David.
Look I must see her.
You have gone mad for Regina.
My sister has that
effect on people.
Looks like a little
case of folie a deux.
Folie a deux?
Yeah, It's a French saying
meaning two becomes mad
together.
Look, David, she has
the birthday of mama today.
I've told her you're here.
She has great feeling for you.
I know, my sister.
I must see her.
I must.
David, the family has decided
that she has the birthday of
Mama today,
and then tomorrow we will bring
her to you at the hotel for the
tea.
We have to do this slowly.
It's a lot to her with her
illness. We cannot get her too
excited.
I'm sure you understand.
Of course, I understand.
I'm sorry, I'm being selfish.
No, David.
It means a lot you
care about my sister.
So many of her so-called friends
have abandoned her.
She only has Nadia,
you and I left.
Her behaviour tries patience.
Thank you, Victoria.
Please tell Regina that
I'm sure she knows you love her.
You know that weird painting,
the one you've done
for her? It's a weird painting.
It almost looked like real
blood. It says, I love Regina.
Yeah, I.
Why you took so long to see her?
You made her dream so long.
That would take a lot longer
than a moment to explain.
You have no idea how sorry I am.
David, now I must
attend to the birthday of Mama.
I will send you a picture
of Regina. She's all dressed up.
Talk tomorrow.
Good night, David.
Goodnight,
So beautiful.
You look like a queen,
not a mental patient.
How?
Why?
Oh, God.
Why does it hurt so much?
What is this
monster called love?
Papa, do you want more wine?
No.
Do you think if you
stare at that clock.
It will start working again.
Regina, there is anna's cake,
do you want to come to sit down?
You know, You cant
mix it with the medicine.
Drink some juice.
I'm not a little girl.
I'll do as I wish.
Child I beg you.
Please.
Aunt Regina,
are even more beautiful
than the princesses of
the fairy tale.
You are the most
beautiful, my darling, it's you.
Happy birthday, mom.
Thank you.
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday dear Mama..
Happy birthday to you,
Aunt Regina,
The big American is
waiting for you at the hotel.
Mom says you're
going to kill him.
I never said that!
I never said that!
What does it mean schizophrenic?
I have never said that Rgi.
It's time to go to bed.
You'll have the cake tomorrow,
I'll keep you a slice.
Sugar is not very good
when you're sick, darling.
Antoine, can you send
her upstairs, please?
Of course.
First, say goodbye
to your grandma.
Say goodbye to your grandma.
But I have the flu.
That's not a problem,
just do it like this.
Good night.
Go on, go to bed.
Good night everyone.
Thank you,
Good night, darling.
See you tomorrow.
Goodbye
Reggie, what's the problem? Dad
always used to tuck in Lily at
night.
It's out of the question!
Victoria will put
her daughter to bed.
Calm down, sister!
Dad can't put kids to sleep!
Only you, you have
the responsibility!
Only you!
Only you! You!
Mom, where is her medicine?
I don't need
this poison anymore!
Sit next to me, I love you.
Come on, sit next to me.
Please.
My sunshine,
calm down.
I love you.
Victoria, bring me a
bag with medicines.
The injection is ready.
Please, I'm ready.
I'll be back in a
minute. I'll be back.
Mom, Happy birthday, my dear.
Thank you, my dear.
I love you. I'll be
back in a minute.
How could you?
You know very well
what you're doing.
You can't even imagine.
This man has traveled
the entire world to see you.
But who do
you really think you are?
Who do you
think you are, Regina?
I thought You wanted me
vomiting in English.
I am not the queen
of this world.
I am the queen of the universe.
Mother Mary herself brings with
me. She came down from Venus,
Battling him.
Who is him?
He's Venus!
Venus!
You stupid.
It's not your fault.
I will go take the medicine.
What are you doing?
Stop it.
Even love must be tried by the
fire before it is seen as gold.
He must be tried in the mind,
body, and the spirit.
That man's love you.
He has been tried, as I have.
No, no.
I've spoken to him,
he's simpatico.
Believe it or not,
you're a fool, sick or not,
if you don't.
If you lose this opportunity.
Mother Mary decided to incarnate
my soul.
In this body to
become her handmaiden.
Before me was Joan of Ark
and now I'm standing
in her shoes.
Do you understand.
The sins of this
world? Do you understand
what I'm saying?
Oh my God, you understand,
Somebody has to
be the messenger,
there is no one, America is now
corrupt, and it's the same thing
that happens to Russia,
is the history repeating itself,
do you understand it?
Do you, Do you understand me?
I smell the alcohol.
Smell it! What have you done?
Antoine dreams of us both.
I saw him look at me.
I look away because I am
loyal and you're my dear sister.
Don't worry, he
doesn't speak English.
I wish You were dead!
My family would have
been finally in peace!
You love giving me that poison.
You always wanted me dead.
I might be sick,
but I am gifted.
I come from a place
you have never seen!
A galaxy far away
from this planet!
It's not your fault!
I made this for you,
the art class
in the hospital.
Thank you.
Thank you.
It's very nice.
It's like the scarves that we
wore at the churches when we
were little girls.
Grand daddy, but I don't
want to go to your room.
I want to go to
my room to sleep.
Yea, yea yea.
Oh!
Papa is with Lily,
take him out of there!
Lily, I am here! The Virgin
Mary is also with us.
I will save you.
Come here, Lily.
Lily!
Antoine!
Oh!
No, no, no.
Don't be afraid.
Don't be afraid.
Don't stay with
your grandfather.
Don't stay
I'm coming in your arms.
I will protect you.
Oh, Lily! I'm not
going to take your grandfather.
To take him. I'm
going to protect you.
Oh, Lily!
Mom! Let's go for Neptune.
Neptune is not far.
Come with me.
Mom!
Call the hospital!
They must come!
Lily!
Let's go for Neptune!
Come on, come on. It's not me!
We're going to let you out now,
And I hope I won't
see you again.
Thank you, thank you very much.
Good morning, I mean, good
evening. What do you want?
I'm sorry, I don't speak
French. Can I see a patient?
He doesn't speak a
word of English, sir.
How can I help you?
You must go.
I'm here to see
Regina Romanescu.
I know who she is,
But impossible, sir.
Visitor hours are over in 10
minutes, and you are not on the
list.
Her sister has told
us no one but family.
I am family.
No, no, no, it's nonsense.
You are not allowed be awake.
I mean, come on,
man. Have a heart.
I thought you guys from France
understood what freedom is.
I just want to see
her a little bit.
Sir, go away before
I arrest you.
I thought you didn't
speak English.
Maybe a little, sir.
What is your name?
David. David Michaels.
Hey, listen.
I flew in all the way
from New York, alright?
I just want to see her just
for a few minutes.
Sir, if you don't keep it down,
I won't speak to you anymore.
You remind me some
of the patients over here.
I heard that Americans are
strange, but this one is
amazing!
I'm going to call the director
of the hospital.
He's the king of France. I am
his mistress. I'm going to call
him
and he's going to shut you up.
There is
no king of France.
You're jealous.
I got her some chocolates, I got
her some cigarettes, some candy.
If you shut up for a little,
I'll give you a pack of
cigarettes.
Let me just see her for 10
minutes I'll give you 500...
Two, Yes ok, shhh.
You.
It's not America, not
everything is about money!
He's rather cute,
isn't he?
He's a bit pudgy, though.
Tonight, just until I see her,
please. I'll come back in a few
days.
Okay, I'll see she gets it.
But she might be asleep.
I am awake!
She's awake!
Thank you for coming to see me!
Regina!
Lubov!
Dragosta!
Now go back to the
hotel and rest!
Come back in a few days.
Alright.
Alright?
Yeah. Should I call
you a cab, sir?
No, no, no, no. I'll walk.
It's only a half a
mile to the hotel.
I have to walk this
excitement off.
Thanks.
Goodnight sir,
Good night.
Goodnight Regina..
Do you love him?
Hey, Adam.
Good morning,
Hey, Adam.
You said I could come
to see Regina today.
Sir,
I have bad news.
Something terrible has happened.
What do you mean?
Regina's father came to visit
her this morning.
After he's left,
she has a horrible accident.
What accident?
Sir,
she fell from the top floor.
She's okay, right?
She's alright?
I'm sorry, sir. She has passed.
What?
Sir,
I'm so sorry.
What do you mean she's passed?
Sir, I'm so sorry.
What do
you mean?
I'm so sorry, sir.
Regina!
Regina!
I'm sorry
Regina!
Regina!
Regina.
NO!
Regina!
Regina...
Good morning sunshine,
good morning moon,
good morning stars,
good morning rain,
good morning flowers.
Good morning...
Regi.
I saw blood thumping
in her veins.
In a nightmare.
She was saying things only
she sees her soul laid bare.
Was she in a dream within a
dream that you think's not a
dream This kind
of woman so rare.
They begin to rip their clothes,
it might seem only wanting
one kiss to say they conquered
her beautiful eyes.
You cannot understand
what they look like.
Until flying skies
She only wanted to be held by
her mother like a daughter
Yet each time they told her no
and she responded no they fought
her they say she tried They say
she died.
But I say she began to kiss the
stars. They say she tried, They
say she died. But I say she
began to kiss the stars.
I know I'm obsessed
with this obsession.
And my mission can fail.
But I hear voices
screaming so silently,
telling me to bail.
If only to see her
on the edge of
eternity reunited.
But I didn't have the courage
She had only the candle I
lighted.
If only the touch of
her skin could be bottled
and glassed.
I'd give each one
way to show the special feeling
I'm amassed she had to go, no
need to ask Why she threw it
away It was
because she could. Some
think of her as strange..
But a thunder storm has
come and gone but so beautiful..
They say she tried,
they say she died,
But I say she began to kiss
the stars They say she tried,
they say she died.
But I say she began
to kiss the stars
