Look, Lia fell asleep again. Please wake her up.
She'll be up again until 2:00 am and tomorrow morning it's me again.
Hi, Dad.
-Let me carry them. -They're light, I can take them.
I told Florin to bring the van
and pick up all the things, to take them to Timisoara.
Yes, on Saturday.
No, he will come now.
Dad?
Who are the people in the house?
They're some friends, kiddo.
And why is our stuff in boxes?
What? In boxes?
-Hello. -Hello.
I like the way you decorated it.
-What? -It is purely and simply superb.
The house. Your husband told me you did the interior decorating, didn't you?
Yes, I did.
And the kids' bedrooms are absolutely brilliant. Brilliant!
We're also thinking of having two kids.
Maybe we'll have your lucky streak and our second child will be a boy.
Well, I'll be right back.
-Sure. -No problem.
Alex, what is going on?
-I sold it. -Didn't we agree we'd rent it out?
I changed my mind.
And is there a way to change your mind again?
I signed the papers, and I got the money…
I can't change my mind.
But why did you do it?
Alma, you are moving to Timisoara anyway. Why do you need another house?
What do you mean "you are moving to Timisoara anyway"?
Do you have other plans?
I'm not coming.
What?
Hello. Are you ready?
Yes, everything is packed over there.
Talk to Alma and see if everything is OK.
-OK. -Let me give you some…
What is this for?
For lodging. Because…
Yes, but I'll need to go back.
Yes, but I've just got the flat and I want you to make sure
everything is working: lightbulbs, sinks, sockets…
I don't want her to have to do everything.
-Understood. OK, gotta go now. -Yes.
-Vlad! -Yes, Dad?
-Leave the phone alone for a while. -But I didn't go over one hour.
It's not that. I have something important to tell you.
What?
Do you remember our agreement?
-Which one? -The most important one.
That if I won't spend more than hour per day on games,
you will get me a gaming PC?
That in my absence you will take care of the girls.
Are you leaving again?
Yes, and this time…
it's going to be a longer filming.
And when will you be back?
When are you going to come to Timisoara?
I don't know.
-Stop fighting with Lia. -I can't promise anything.
Please.
OK.
I love you, my little dragon.
Me too.
I will miss you.
Me too.
Lia!
Alex,
are you coming back?
I don't know. Right now I don't know anything.
But don't you want to try a little more?
I don't think it will work out.
Take care of yourselves.
You will be fine.
You are finally doing what you love.
And you'll surely make it.
-I love you. -I love you too.
Inspired by true events
This illness, depression, is a serious one.
How the hell can one be a great filmmaker, have money, career, family,
and then give up everything,
not being able to enjoy life?
But you…
If I were you, I would've given him a kick in the shins and forced him inside.
Oana, speak softer, I just put the kids to sleep.
It's very easy to say…
but…
really nothing can help him.
Since when is he like this?
About two years.
Well, he's been depressed since two year ago,
the panic attacks just started in May.
Oh, yes, you took him to the hospital.
He got a good price for the house.
Very good.
Two hundred and fifty thousand euros for a house in Domnesti is super cool.
If you move to Timisoara,
I'd sell mine too, and I'd move close to the city
because I've had it enough,
wasting two hours every morning on the Ghencea Extension.
One-two on the way back as well…
I can't believe it.
What?
He left us all money in the account.
And what's the problem?
Two weeks ago he opened education accounts for the kids, 150.000 each.
He bought the flat in Timisoara
and now he leaves us all the money from the house sale…
He transferred to me all he had in his account…
According to my calculations, he kept nothing for himself.
No…
And the company?
He took out the money from the company too.
And when I asked him why he would not close it, he said there was no point.
No point?
Hopefully he won't do anything stupid.
I don't think so.
Where did he go?
Call him.
Call him!
-He is not answering. -Call him again. Come on!
Now his phone is off.
Come outside, I can't stand it anymore.
Come on!
Whoa, cool car, cuz!
Gosh, over 100, right?
I don't know, I don't think so.
Come on, tell me! Maybe I'll get myself one too.
-How much was it? -I don't know, man.
Man, it's a beauty!
Did you bring it?
Yes, my own. Tuta.
Let me give you money for it.
What money, man?
You do your job and you'll bring it back to me tomorrow night.
Will you manage?
I'll manage.
Well, it's up to you…
But you know that when it comes to hunting in this area…
you ask for The Man, OK?
Cheers.
Damn that stupid woman, damn that idiotic woman!
Man, she gave me grey hair!
Along with her stupid mother, that one is even stupider than her
because she is pushing her, you know,
and I am stupider than both because I stay and eat all this shit.
Yo, but when you're stupid, you're stupid for a long time.
Damn her, hapless bitch!
Look, tonight we'll be together.
I don't need company.
Who said anything about company, man?
Don't you get it I fought with that crazy woman?
I explained to her, as you do to a normal person: "Yo!
My brother is coming and I want to stay with him tonight."
Immediately, she busts my ass:
"Yeah, great, when your brother comes you're in a hurry to be with him,
to stay with him… but he hasn't called you in years".
I punched her in the snout…
Well, I didn't punch her, I just cursed her… to be humane.
We'll stay with our grandparents…
like when we were children.
This is how you throw it, yo?
A blade width distance from the foot.
-Calm down, man. -Hey, kid!
It was close.
Come on, man, why are you making such a fuss? It's a scratch.
I'm going to make the bed.
-Bye, Marci. -Good luck.
Damn that idiotic woman!
Let me see.
A scratch, my ass!
Tomorrow I have things to do in Orsova.
How would it be to go with this car and show off in Orsova?
Would you give it to me?
Yes, man, I'll give it to you.
-Really? -Yeah, man, take it.
No, tomorrow morning, not now…
Take it now, because by tomorrow morning I might change my mind.
Well, don't change your mind. No.
Sure, yes?
Come on, I'll drive you home?
No worries, I'll walk.
Let me give you a ride home. Come on.
Come on!
Place it inside, on the back seats.
I'll come with you if you want.
You can go, I'll stay with them.
He kept telling me lately that he wanted to go
to his parents' house to calm down and…
-Hasn't his mother passed away? -Yes, she has. Nine years ago.
His father remarried, sold the house and…
Then which house is he going to, 'cause I don't get it?
-What? -Which house is he going to?
His grandparents'.
I'm afraid if I go there he will get upset.
He asked me to leave him alone for a while.
-Do you know what I'm saying? -No.
I can't sleep.
Me neither.
I don't think dad will come back.
He always comes back.
Not this time.
How do you know?
I heard them talking. I wasn't sleeping.
Lia, why aren't you sleeping?
-I want to be with Dad. -It is not possible now.
Yes, it's possible. We get in the car and go.
Dad will be away for some time
and then he'll come back.
He won't come back.
Please.
Vlad, go to your room.
Man, you manage to find the perfect moments to cough… I swear…
Yo, I choked, what's your problem?
-God! -God.
We should believe Mom.
I don't want to. I want to be with Dad.
Then let's get dressed and go.
How? It's far away!
Lower your voice.
I've got an idea.
I'm dying!
-Aw, fuck you, stupid cunt! -What have you done, man?
I'm dying!
Easy!
Call Marci, man, quick!
-You don't have your phone? -I don't.
He has no coverage or his phone is off.
Call the ambulance.
Listen, we'd better walk to Bradu. It's six km away.
Our local clinic is closed.
-Come on! -One, one, one…
Yo, call his wife.
I called several times.
The bitch won't answer, 'cause she is angry with me.
Ah, her phone is completely dead. Fane!
Fuck this foot! Wait!
Ilie! Yo, Ilie, get out a little bit!
Man, damn it!
If I were with a chick,
now all the ol' hags would be peering over the fence.
How the hell you decided to give the car to Marci, just now.
And just now he decided to turn off his phone.
It makes sense he turned off his phone.
He's afraid you'll call him and ask for the car back.
Listen, let's take a break on this bench, I can't anymore.
Oh, mother!
Let's go!
Oh, mother!
Easy.
Oh, mother!
Man, oh man, it's still bleeding.
No, wait!
Pretty please, don't stop this guy.
What do you want, man, to wait for a Mercedes to come pick you up?
Yo, looney, but this is Jeni, the village drunkard.
He doesn't even have brakes on that shit.
I swear, I'm not getting on that shit. I'd rather cut my foot.
Come on, man, maybe he fixed the brakes.
And maybe he's not drunk.
Jeni, my brother has cut his foot and has bled a lot.
Didn't hear you, man, what did you say?
My brother cut his foot and he's been bleeding a lot.
Take us to the hospital in Bradu.
Yo, I'll take you.
-Come on, hop on, I'll take you there. -All righty then!
May I know what you're doing?
-We were waiting for you. -What do you mean?
Mom,
I say let's go before it's too late.
He is right.
EMERGENCY ROOM
God!
Come on, get out. God!
Yo, what happened to your face?
I took a branch on my face in that turn.
Didn't I tell you, man, to jump off?
-Come on, man, come on. Easy. -Wait a sec!
-Come on, we are here! -Ouch!
-Come on, man, my knees are shaking. -Ouch!
-Open the door. -It's closed.
-What happened? -What? How?
What happened to your face?
Don't mind the face, he cut his foot and he's been bleeding a lot.
It's serious.
It's very serious.
Do you have health insurance?
Do you have health insurance, Sebi?
-No. -Then we have a problem.
Wait, how come?
Without insurance you won't give him medical assistance?
I'll give…
I'll stick it up his stupid ass! Good payer!
Wait, sir! How's that?
If he doesn't have insurance, you won't take care of him?
-Calm down, sir… -If you don't take care of him now,
I'll take care of you!
-How is this possible? -Calm down, sir…
-Are you going to leave him like this? -Don't yell, because…
Doctor, he is Alexandru Zota, the filmmaker.
-Would you please give me an autograph? -I didn't recognize you.
Why, sir, didn't you say so from the start?
Come on, we'll take him, we'll take care of him.
I'm really sorry… I'm one of your fans.
-Where's the lad? -Sebi, come on, man!
-Come in! -Sebi!
-Come on, man, I managed. -Wait, don't…
I'll take it from here, he's on good hands, don't worry.
-Ouch! -Why aren't you paying attention?
Give me the bottle from the sidecar, please.
The other one. This one has gasoline.
Apologies.
No problem, it's not the first time.
I'm sorry, they look the same.
I won't die just from this.
I won't die anyway, don't you see?
Is that your intent?
Every day.
But nothing.
He's torturing me, Christlike.
-Who? -Come on… Who…
I don't know what have I done wrong in this world.
I've been riding without brakes for months,
maybe something will happen…
but nothing.
But He takes your dear ones from you whenever He wants.
I'll get to see Him someday.
Because somebody has to judge Him too.
I want to see His face…
when I'll ask Him why he took my kids and my wife from me.
How did it happen?
-Never mind, don't tell me. -They drowned.
And my wife went after them.
Do you have kids?
Two.
Take care of them.
If you don't take care of them, He'll take them away from you.
Do you hear me?
Mr. Artist,
let me show you how nicely I fixed him.
He looks like Florin Piersic when he was young.
Not junior, senior.
Come.
See?
What should I see?
It's great if you don't see anything.
Come on, Mr. Movie Director, we also can make art if we are motivated.
Don't you see?
There isn't a cut on his face anymore.
I see, but why did you have to do this?
Because otherwise he would have been left with a horrible scar.
But then, we took a little piece of skin…
performed an aesthetic surgery… do you understand?
-And where did you take it from? -From his butt.
Well, it's not my field of expertise, but shouldn't you have given him stitches?
You are worrying too much. Don't you worry, this heals quickly.
But what I want to say is that the face is more important than the butt.
I don't get it. I brought him here with a wounded foot.
Why did you have to do this to his face?
Guv, but I fixed it here, guv, and there!
Whatever. I thought…
I was expecting you to appreciate it.
Mr. Zota, good morning.
I'm Vasilescu, the manager of this hospital.
Please come into my office; we have something to discuss.
You don't want to… it's OK, we can talk here as well.
I am very sorry for my colleague's "achievements", in quotes,
but I called an ambulance to urgently take your brother to Timisoara.
Excuse me?
He is stable now, he isn't in any danger, only his face graft is not OK…
If you want to file a complaint, come to my office, and…
Mr. Zota, are you OK?
I'm having a panic attack.
Don't worry.
Should we give you a magnesium shot?
There's no need, it will pass quickly.
I suspected you were depressive.
I don't know if this information is of any help to you,
but Zereanu has also been fighting for years depression and panic attacks.
Who is Zereanu?
The doctor who performed surgery on your brother.
He's a very good doctor, but he started drinking a lot
since the hospital's closing, during Basescu's time.
Then he fell into depression.
You can't imagine how hard he fought to keep this hospital alive.
Don't worry, I won't file a complaint.
No… I was telling you just for the sake of conversation.
It's very difficult, sir. I don't even know what to do.
I cannot fire him, but on the other hand he only does stupid things.
It's difficult.
Come up with an efficient treatment for depression.
Have you followed the treatment?
Both the first and the second time.
I guess it didn't work.
Neither the first nor the second time.
Was Dad so poor?
I mean, were his parents so poor?
This is not the grandparents' house. It's the grand-grandparents'.
Oh, well…
Look at this place.
-Get out! -Mom!
-Go down the stairs! -Mom, what is it?
-What happened? -Get out!
-What happened? -Nothing!
-What happened? -Mom, are you ok?
-Dad! -Dad!
-What are you doing here? -Leave me alone, damn it!
Yo, why are you behaving like this? You're scaring the kids.
Me? What about all that blood?
Lower your voice.
Sebi cut his foot and I took him to hospital.
And the rifle?
Which rifle? It could have fallen down from somewhere.
Didn't I ask you to leave me alone for a while?
Yes, you asked me, but I don't want to.
I realized, maybe a little too late, that I don't want to leave you alone.
-Dad, can we go for a dip? -Yes, stay near the shore.
Thank you!
Please find an excuse
and convince the kids to leave now!
No. From here we'll only leave together, I promise.
If you do not leave now,
I'll be very angry with you.
What are you doing there? It's filth!
Do you have kids?
Take care of them.
If you don't take care of them, He'll take them from you.
Do you hear me?
Vlad!
Vlad! Lia!
Vlad!
Lia!
Vlad!
-Dad! -Dad!
-We're here! Dad! -Dad!
Dad!
-Dad! -I thought I had lost you.
Never do this to me again.
You neither, to us.
Let's go to Timisoara.
Remind me to ask you something.
-I'm having a very good feeling. -What about?
That this is a new start for us.
Dad, look! Do you remember?
Keep your hands like this, one up, one down.
Please?
Thank you.
Mom! My blanket is not in the bedroom.
I don't know, Lia. It's somewhere in one of the boxes.
-Which box? -I'll look for it and I'll give it to you.
You'll give it to me!
See? You are boxing and your sister is taking over your room.
What did you want to ask me?
You were telling me something about a shaman.
Do you believe now?
I said I would try anything, so I will try anything.
Will you give me his number?
Yes, but… I don't have it. Wait, I'll call Andreea.
I can call Andreea myself.
-Go away, it's my table! -No, it's mine!
Or no, you'd better call her.
Go see what are they're doing, or I'll bust them.
Yo!
Give it to me!
-It's mine! I was first! -So what?
-Yo! -It's not fair!
Give it to me! Let it go!
Hey, calm down!
Great. You know what? Take it!
Oh, Mr Zota!
I heard you're going to move to Timisoara.
I've already moved.
Well, and then I have to find it out from the newspapers?
-Tell me, what are you doing? -I'm at the hotel.
-Ah, you're not in Timisoara… -Yes, I am.
Then what are you doing at the hotel?
Well, I've divorced a bit.
I want to talk to you, can we meet?
Sure, young man. I'll take a quick shower.
-Change clothes and we'll meet. -Really, so soon?
Come on. I'll call you when I leave the hotel.
OK. I'm coming.
Man, I can't believe it!
What? That you see me?
That you moved in Timisoara.
And that I see you.
What a knucklehead you are!
So, tell me, what did you do with the movies?
I put them on hold.
Your fans may lynch you.
What is this whole thing about moving?
I've been thinking about it for a long time,
but things didn't pan out.
Now, Alma accessed some European funds for her business…
What business?
She is making clothes.
What, man?
We found a good school for the kids and we moved here.
In Bucharest there was no life.
You can earn money, you have opportunities
but no time left for anything else.
No time for yourself, no time for life, at all.
I see.
And what are you going to do with the filmmaking?
Didn't I tell you, man? It's on hold.
Tell me if you know any good psychologist.
Did you think I missed you?
Tell me, you got problems?
Big ones.
I can't get rid of depression, man.
And the problem is about a year ago
I've started having panic attacks
and these take me out completely.
See, now I am talking about them and it happens again.
Dad doesn't love us anymore.
Lia, what is this nonsense?
Come on, go to your rooms, it's late and you have to go to sleep.
I can't sleep.
Me neither.
Why is he not with us, now?
Because he went out to meet a friend.
Friend? We have just moved in Timisoara.
Your dad graduated from the acting school here
and has several friends who are actors at the National Theater.
What "National"?
Come on, keep your mouth shut! That is the name!
Stop always interrupting mom!
-Glad you're a smartass. -It's good that you admit it.
Come on, stop it, please, stop it!
Pay attention to me.
Your dad has some problems
and we should help him.
Excuse me, Mr. Zota… Can we take a photo together?
Yes, sure.
Thank you very much. Have a nice evening!
You're welcome.
Listen, famous one.
Yes, niche guy.
Do you believe in occurrences?
Meaning, is there anything random in this world?
Yes.
I missed this kind of philosophical discussions
in the bohemian Timisoara.
I'm not in the mood for philosophical discussions.
I even had a reason to ask you.
Well then, say it.
First of all, answer my question.
Yes, I believe nothing is random.
Then I think we'll get along.
I'm staging a play at the National Theater,
It's called "Once and for all".
It's written by a former student of mine
who went through what you are going through right now.
Well, so what?
Don't you miss acting?
No, Radu.
I'll never go on stage again.
-Hello, Alex. How are you? -Cheers.
What are you doing in Timisoara?
It's a long story.
I'll call you some day to talk more about it.
I have a beautiful event soon.
I'll have to award a prize to a person with outstanding achievements.
What do you think about a surprise, that is having you award this prize?
-When is it? -Now, on the 9th.
-OK, maybe we'll do it. -Thank you. See you!
-We'll see each other, we'll talk. -Sure.
-All the best, bye. -Cheers.
-Will you give it a second thought? -There is nothing to think about.
Write down the number of the psychologist.
Dad?
Can I hug you?
What are you doing here?
I told them.
Was it needed?
Yes.
See, this is why I do not trust completely any of you.
-Us? -You, the psychologists.
We did not even meet properly and your diagnostic was clear:
depression and panic attacks.
How do you know I did not have a stroke?
Or a compressed spine?
Would you prefer taking your medical tests first,
and come to me after?
Not necessarily.
For me, it is.
The first session was free.
-Bye. -Alex!
Do you have a motto in life?
Motto?
Something that defines you, name it however you want.
Better regret what I have done than what I have not.
-Is it a quote of any author? -No. It's mine.
OK. This is about you.
But do you have anything regarding relationships with people?
With people…
Yes… there is…
There are two ways
to look for a flower in a forest during the night:
one is to wear gloves as not to get stung by thorns and nettles,
and the second one, which I prefer,
is doing it without gloves.
Even if you get stung,
there is no way not to feel the refinement of the flower you were looking for,
when you find it.
Next time when we meet I will ask you to explain to me
why is there night in your forest?
That is, if you do not have a stroke in the meantime.
I mean it.
-You were waiting for me? -Yes.
-Weren't you supposed to meet the tailor? -I did.
-And will you be working together? -Well, I don't know… it's complicated.
She has a little baby, her husband is abroad in Italy,
she has no one to care for the baby… I don't know.
But let's not talk about me, tell me about you.
Then why to take the tests?
Because I haven't taken them in a long time.
And because she says the panic attacks are only in my head
and otherwise I am healthy.
Did the lady upset you?
No.
On the contrary.
She was the only one who helped me understand that I had…
an unsolved problem,
a very well hidden fear.
And…
do you want to talk about it?
No.
OK.
So, listen carefully.
When I left the theater,
the stage directors were more preoccupied with scenography, costumes…
lights…
almost anything else than the actors.
And I left with only one thought:
to make some money
and when I get enough,
to go back.
You have never told me this.
Because I have forgotten the promise I had made.
Radu, I accept the role.
See you tomorrow at 12:00.
OK.
Come on, we'll see each other later.
Alex! Sorry, can you give me a second?
Sorry, I know it is not the right moment,
but I do not think it is a good idea to go back to the theatre.
Yes, it's really not the right moment.
I don't know, but… you will have to act as lovers characters too.
-So, what? -What do you mean "so what"?
You'll have to kiss other women, smell them,
put your hand on their butt…
Alma! I am far past the age to play Romeo.
But what about Caligula?
We'll talk later.
Alex is not here to do casting for his next movie,
as some of you may have wished.
-What do you mean? -Forget it.
I asked him to play the main character,
and as you can see, he is here, which means…
he accepted.
-Super. -Super!
-Congratulations! -Bravo.
-Welcome. -Bravo.
-Congratulations! Thank you.
You are free for the rest of the day. Hopefully your smile will come back.
Especially yours.
Come to my office, we have to something to discuss.
I'll be right there, OK.
Hey, young man, are you in a hurry?
Should I send you the script by email, or printed, tomorrow?
Printed.
Send it to me today by email, and give it to me tomorrow, printed.
OK.
-Hello. -Hey.
Very nice play.
Did you read my email?
Yes. I was curious.
And what do you think?
Is it well written?
Yes.
It is very well written.
I liked it a lot.
Especially the hot scenes… About four or five…
Oh,mother!
Who is playing Isabella?
I asked you…
Alex!
-I asked you who's playing Isabella. -A colleague.
Bravo, I got this. But what's her name? To stalk her a bit on Insta.
Are you crazy?
What is her name?
Craita Vela.
And you will play the nudity scenes with this one?
Did you see the way she looks?
Yo, have you lost your marbles?
Now when I found myself a purpose,
you throw fits of childish jealousies?
Dad!
How are you?
-Fine. -Fine.
Come on, you cuddled enough, go to sleep! Come on!
-Why? -Will you stay with us?
He's not, because he's busy.
-Why is he not coming? -Come on, go to sleep!
-Brush your teeth… -Not fair…
Listen to me.
Andreea sent me the number of the shaman.
Call him, get an appointment and go to him,
maybe he does something to heal you
from this craziness with the theater therapy.
-Now, at 21:00? -He is in Peru, attending a course.
First session will be through phone.
-What is all this nonsense, yo? -Give me the phone.
Unblock it.
Take it. It's ringing.
Hello, brother Alex.
God bless you. How can I help you?
What are you doing?
How long does it take you to brush your teeth?
Mom, is it just me, or dad is recovering?
Yes, his progresses are amazing.
Especially as he found fresh meat.
Wait a moment, don't we always eat fresh meat?
What do you mean? Mom always takes it out of the fridge.
So what? Is it altered?
I reached the conclusion that we can't get along anymore.
I have noticed the same. If you don't like it, you may move.
Friends! It is my turn to argue tonight. Go to bed!
I understand.
Now I will work with you.
All you need to do is to lay down, be comfortable,
and turn your phone off.
After I finish,
I will write to you on WhatsApp what I found, okay?
Understood.
May Light be with you, brother Alex.
God bless you.
Yes, Marci?
I forgot about it, man, are you nuts?
Yes.
Leave it in front of the actors' entrance at the National Theater, tomorrow.
Leave the key with the janitor.
Yes, the registration too, of course!
I got Sebi out of hospital today, I saw him, he is OK.
Call him, he will be happy.
Thank you.
Call Carmen, please.
Nope, call her yourself.
Yo, you're getting on my nerves.
Until you give up this nonsense about the recovered actor,
I won't talk to you anymore, I swear!
But what is wrong about this?
-Explain it to me! -Everything.
How's that "everything"? Nothing is good?
-No. Nothing. -Mom, I'm hungry.
No, Lia, you are sleepy. You are extremely sleepy. Now!
Alma, it was not only my decision.
The psychologist recommended the same.
Your psychologist is a stupid bitch!
Oh, yeah?
And your shaman is a patented moron.
Listen what he wrote to me.
"Brother Alex, now you are free of any fear,
the light flooded your heart and soul.
Tomorrow when you wake up, God will grant you the right people,
beautiful places and bright thoughts.
Sleep peacefully, my brother!"
Sounds like an advertisement for a Ponzi scheme.
I hope I won't die tonight.
Alma, you said you would be here for me.
This is my profession.
No. Your profession is movie director. Movie director!
But what if it will be good for me?
But what if it will destroy me?
How will it destroy you? I don't understand.
Try to put yourself in my shoes for a moment.
I bring the kids to the theater,
they see you butt naked and… what am I going to tell them?
That their dad performs some absurd art!
Your way of thinking is absurd!
Are you rubbing against that woman or aren't you?
No.
Against you.
What happened? Did I do something wrong?
No.
I did.
What do you mean?
I started the treatment with those pills.
Are you taking medicine on your own?
Not on my own.
Those recommended by the psychologist.
I thought you were against.
Not anymore.
I said I would go anywhere, do anything
that would get me rid of the depression and panic attacks,
once and for all.
This is the name of the show
where you act together with Craita Vela, right?
Once and for all.
Then send Alma to me as well.
If I manage to convince her, will I get a discount?
You are better and better, as I can see.
How is the treatment going?
Well.
With the libido is not that well, though.
Last night I failed miserably.
It's not like during the depression time your libido was ceiling high,
so… zero loss.
Did you receive your test results?
Today. But I am sure they will be as usual.
Good.
Very good. They will send me into space again.
Excuse me, I have to talk to my husband immediately.
No problem. We just finished.
See you next time.
-We must go to Bucharest, promptly. -Why?
Your test results show some weird values.
What do you mean?
I don't know, I didn't understand well.
So, what? There are no hospitals in Timisoara? Why go to Bucharest?
Alex, Maria talked to the best urologist in the country
and, surprise, he's in Bucharest.
-What are you looking for, yo? -The car, yo.
B PAVILION - ULTRASOUND
Excuse me, on behalf of Maria…
Ah, yes, come in.
Grandma, wait for me outside, on the hallway.
I can wait, you know, I'm not in a hurry.
It's fine, mister, working people have priority on treatment.
Retired people can wait.
Only death is ahead of them. Isn't it right, grandma?
It is, doctor.
Listen. Please bring me a t-shirt with Hagi.
With Yannis, the little one. Come on, lay down here.
T-shirt up, trousers a little down.
-Cristina, apply it to the gentleman. -Yes.
There you go.
Wow, what a belly!
Are you practicing any sports?
What sport? Only when I was young.
What do you mean, young? You have a whole life ahead.
That is…
if you pass the crossroad.
What crossroad?
I was joking.
You will be fine.
No.
I don't like it.
I can't see.
You need to get an enema.
Get an enema and then come back.
Cristina, is Mioara still here?
She left, Mr. Professor. She's no longer here.
And you don't know how to do it?
Me? No, I'm not getting involved.
You?
Don't look at me, I don't know either.
I know.
Come on, this is not mopping. It's a serious job.
Both are shitty jobs, Professor.
Yeah…
Have you done it before?
Twice.
You'll go with the lady.
Get the enema and then you come back to me.
-The cleaning lady will do it? -It's not rocket science. Go.
Go on.
Come. This way.
Isn't this Zota, the movie director?
Wow, yes! I was wondering where I know him from.
Here on the right.
Take your pants down and lay down on the little bench.
How come, madam, here?
On this little bench, madam?
We don't have another place.
Please, do what she says.
-Alma, I feel like I'm on candid camera. -Alex!
Maria vouched for you. It's serious. Please don't make a fuss.
-What fuss? -Please.
How should I stay, madam?
In the child's position.
Like a baby.
Like this?
With your little ass towards me.
What are you doing with that hose?
Don't worry, I'll make it go through.
Don't you have a thicker one?
How will you make it go through?
With a lot of soap.
With a lot of soap you can make anything go through, Madam.
Precisely. I'll be careful.
And maybe you'll give me an autograph after I finish the procedure.
What procedure, madam, this is rape! After this, I'll sue you!
Yo, Alma! Yo, Alma, this is not possible!
When I will get water inside you,
you will feel like going to the toilet, but please hold it as much as you can.
Where you get water from?
From the tap.
Yo, Alma…
Will you take off your undies, or should I?
Wait, Madam, I can't walk faster than that.
I can't hold it any longer, where is the toilet?
You are right, I used a little too much water.
-You should go to the toilet. -But where is it?
-Oops! -What is it?
-The toilet is in the other wing. -And where is it?
Go by the end of the hallway, then right,
go to that end and the 5th door on the right.
-Wow, dear, long time no see! -Olimpia, please leave him alone!
-But what have I done, dear? -Nothing.
-He's still unfriendly, hasn't changed. -I think you were looking for me.
After I made a man out of him…
he turns his back on me and goes away, instead of being grateful.
-Is the toilet here, sir? -It's occupied, sir.
I got an enema, pretty please let me go in first.
Excuse me, I got an enema, could you please let me in?
Please! Ouch!
Mr. Zota, I can't let you leave here without giving me an autograph.
Pretty please.
-How are you? -Better.
Ouch… I feel like I have to go again…
Wow, how stupid am I!
Mr. Zota, I completely forgot.
There is a toilet right here, for the nurses, but I totally forgot.
Thousand apologies.
-But you surely can use it. -And why don't you say so?
How stupid am I!
-It's OK. -Excuse me, I am Mr. Zota's wife.
Glad to meet you.
In four hours we have to be at the airport.
-So? -Do we have time?
You have time.
You know something?
Please have him take a few blood tests first.
-Yes? -Where?
As you go out from here, to the right and then the first door on the left.
And then come back to me.
-All right, thank you. -You're welcome.
Hello.
Yes?
-Here's the place for blood tests? -Yes.
Who sent you here?
Dr. Urlea.
What are you interested in?
I don't know, madam, he only told me to take the blood tests.
All of them are blood tests.
Whatever.
There's no one who can get it.
Sit down there, on that chair.
Won't you lift your sleeve? Should I insert the needle like this?
Are you OK?
Can I help you? Did you sleep well last night?
Will you leave some blood for me, yes?
-Did you get an enema just now? -Yes.
Then this is useless.
The blood tests are not relevant after enema.
It is true the blood tests are irrelevant after an enema?
Yes. It's true.
Well, then what did I take them for?
For nothing.
We have the blood tests from Timisoara.
-When did you take them? -Two days ago.
They are fine. Leave them here.
-I'll be waiting for you in an hour. -Yes. Let's go.
What's this, here's like the railway station?
Anyone enters whenever they want?
Only those with connections, madam.
Like you.
Please get me a croissant! And a yoghurt drink!
And some cigarettes please!
Flavia!
I got patients. Please close the window.
Thank you.
I have two pieces of news for you.
A very good one and a very bad one.
Which should I start with?
The very good one.
Nothing's wrong with you.
You are in perfect health.
But then who was mistaken? What happened?
You had some high values and I thought you had prostate cancer.
But you don't. You are fine.
And what is the very bad news?
Your former boss is fine too.
What do you think?
-Hey! -Hey!
Why aren't you asleep?
What did you get me?
I didn't get you anything because there was no time.
-Vlad, did you eat? -Yes, just now…
-Yes? You're not even asleep. -I can't go on.
Yo, I'm going to lay down a bit, cause I can't go on.
Move it.
-All on top of me! Help! -Ouch!
-Where are you going? -Home.
-Home in Bucharest? -Home in Timisoara.
-Who would have thought? -Yes.
Here's what I was thinking.
Don't you think it would be appropriate
to rehearse the intimacy moments outside the stage?
I feel like they are missing some details.
As if there's no past.
I suggest we rehearse on the stage.
It's more professional this way.
Fine. See you at the rehearsals. Bye.
-What happened to the car? -Marci.
What did the young lady want?
Sex.
-Come on, man, I was serious. -Me too.
So, tell me, where are we going?
Outside Timisoara.
The shaman is back, we are going to him.
-Come on, I am not going anywhere. -Oh yes, we're going.
You said you would try everything, so try everything.
Welcome, brother Alex. Please, come.
Be careful.
Have a seat.
How are you?
Better since we last spoke.
Did you have panic attacks again?
No. But I have not been in those situations either.
What situations are you talking about?
I did not meet people anymore, no more negotiations,
I did not go out in public…
You did not tell me when you had the first panic attack.
One year ago, I was talking by phone to a friend
who was a partner in the company,
about the next movie we were going to make.
We had to speak about the money paid to the people involved.
That was his job.
They were the same people
we had already made two independent movies with.
The promise I had made to them in the beginning
was that we would grow together with this market,
which means conditions would be better and better with each movie.
-And wasn't it like this? -Yes, it was.
But this time they were requesting more than double.
And I did not understand why.
And do you know now?
Now I know.
They thought I was making a lot more than them and I was giving them peanuts,
so I had to call them one by one and explain to them, on paper.
But the fact that they did not trust me…
got me very upset,
very sad.
And after the phone call…
what happened?
I entered the house and, despite I had woken up just one hour ago,
I was feeling totally drained, I was very tired
and at the same time
I felt the blood running through my veins.
My heart was racing.
When I got to the hospital, I had to explain to the doctors that I panicked,
and after one hour of tests and investigations,
they told me I was fine and sent me home.
And this is how it happens every time.
No. Now I feel like fainting.
Alex…
did you forgive those people?
I understood why they acted like this.
I asked you a different question.
Yes, I am not a vindictive man.
I like to think that I am a people-loving person.
But after those attacks, you got yourself isolated.
Yes. I was afraid to faint in public.
Not only because of that.
OK.
Now…
you will drink this tea that I have prepared for you.
Lay down there and make yourself comfortable.
You will sleep while I will be working with you.
Don't resist.
Let me take care of you.
Repeat after me:
I am sorry.
Forgive me.
Thank you.
I love you.
Repeat after me, Alex.
You must believe.
I may believe,
but I cannot repeat those words like a parrot.
But you must.
Well, you see, this "must" is what gets on my nerves.
I have always been pissed off by "must".
To do something, I must feel it.
Persist, and you will feel it afterwards.
It is a very strong mantra.
Just think that an Australian guy
managed to closed several psychiatric hospitals by using it.
Yes, but i am not crazy.
I hope.
You understood what I wanted to say. Stop interpreting.
Tomorrow evening I will have to award a prize
and I was thinking that during the day we could go there
so I can get used to the idea, to the place…
Are you afraid?
Here is where it will take place?
Yes.
-This place has a good vibe. -Yes.
Tonight it must go well.
No stress,
I can't drink either…
but I'll manage without it.
I am very, very proud of you.
Good evening.
Good evening, welcome.
Good… evening.
Welcome to Timisoara.
Congratulations.
Good evening, distinguished ladies and distinguished gentlemen.
I still don't understand how the spiritual encounters go.
Do you have it when you hear a call,
or do you need an appointment?
Both.
That was what I was thinking too.
It didn't work for me.
I thought they were going to take me out of there on a stretcher.
Nothing makes sense anymore, of what I knew before,
about me…
about people…
I never cared about what people might be thinking of me.
What am I afraid of now?
That I will be ridiculous?
I will faint…
So what?
I will die.
So what?
I am sure that beyond…
is a lot more quieter than here.
Or…
Or maybe I am afraid
of what I am going to lose?
That I would lose what I love?
That's it.
If you follow this path,
you will find the answer yourself.
If I follow that path, I will surely find the answer.
You'll find it yourself, that was what I said.
So all of you…
psychologists,
shamans,
Bowen…
you only show us we are in a hole
and at most the way to get out…
but we need to climb it ourselves.
How was that mantra? I forgot.
-I am sorry. -I am sorry.
Forgive me.
Thank you.
I love you.
That was it.
I am sorry.
Forgive me.
I am sorry.
I love you.
Forgive me.
How was the third?
Thank you.
Forgive me. I am sorry. Forgive me.
I am sorry.
What for?
That is you…
suspect me I am double crossing you,
and I'm sorry because you're imbeciles.
I don't understand.
I am sorry for judging you harshly, selfishly.
You did not have confidence in me and had all the reasons to be suspicious.
This way it makes sense.
You can't trust all Samaritans… you are human too.
Forgive me.
Yes.
It makes sense after "I am sorry."
What was next?
Thank you.
What to thank you for?
What for?
Isn't it enough that I said "forgive me"?
And the last one… what was it?
I love you.
I love you!
Come on, man, cut the crap!
-Yes, Alex? -Radu!
When it is the opening?
-Christmas Day. -Christmas Day?
Yes, that's fine, man.
Come on, you have time to replace me.
To replace, what?
Oh no, hold on a second.
You have time to replace me,
in case you won't accept my condition.
-What condition? -Let's have the first night…
in Resita.
What is that about Resita?
If anything happens on the stage,
I won't make a fool of myself in Timisoara, man.
I'll help you, but here's what we will do.
We go to Moldova Noua because people there keep asking me.
That is a good place.
We'll do the first night there.
Man!
I love you, man!
Come on!
How are you, young man?
You saw the theater hall, it's full. Bravo!
They all came to see you.
-Come here. -What happened to you?
-Man, I can't. I can't, believe me! -What is going on with you?
Man, you're a total mess. Do you want me to call an ambulance?
I am sorry that I ruined your show.
I don't care about the show!
Tell me, should I call the ambulance?
I'm going to have a panic attack! I'm sorry.
-Come back! -I am sorry!
Take my place on the stage. Please.
Look at that guy, you'd say he's dying!
What are you doing, loser? Are you dying?
Pat his back, don't you see he is choking?
-Like this? -Yes.
You have two seconds to get out of here.
Did you hear, Robert?
We have right two seconds to get out of here.
-What did you just say? -Stop it.
-Stop it! -They're fighting!
Leave him alone!
-Police! -Take your hands off me!
Leave him alone!
Add the beans too.
Look what he has done to me! That idiot busted my lip, look here!
-Leave the phone alone! -Look!
-Freeze! -Don't move!
Don't move!
-Come here! -Wait sir, it was self-defense!
Self-defense? We'll see in the station. Come on!
What are we going to do?
We'll take it off.
How to take it off?
If even one branch is broken, my wife will kill me.
There'll be no more "Merry Christmas".
Hey,
would you go under it?
Handcuffed, like this?
So, what?
And how to do it?
Crawl like a snake or how?
Yes.
He can't.
You can't?
He can't.
Boss, look behind.
-You scared me. -Look.
How long should I look?
What do you see?
Trees.
Lower…
A fir tree.
Indeed. A fir tree, as big as this one in the car.
So if we take this one and place it next to that one, nobody will notice.
So we put it there, take the gentleman to the station,
and come back for the tree.
Problem solved.
Don't you see how this tree looks like?
Are you comparing it with that dwarf?
Look how big it is, it comes out through the driver's window.
-I didn't say that. -Besides, the wind is blowing.
The tree will fall. You have seen the punks pass by here,
they take it and it's gone.
What are we going to do?
You, there in the back! Give me your identity card!
I am handcuffed.
What pocket you have it in?
Left.
Stop!
Give me.
Mr. Zota,
this one here…
are you, the one there?
STARRING
Yes.
Damn it… screw you!
Come on here, please.
Wait, to get your handcu…
-Wait! -Wait, I don't see.
Great, sir! Well done!
They deserve it, they're scumbags, we always had problems with them!
-Isn't it? -Yes…
We wanted to mess with them, they say they have rights and so on.
Do you want us to take you home? Let us take you home.
No, there is no need, I live very close to here.
Come on, we'll do it nicely, we put the lights on…
like at the theater… we'll do a show.
-There's no need, I'll walk. -Your wallet…
-It's yours. -Thank you.
-Are you sure you don't want to… -No, thanks.
Would you give me an invitation to come with my kids?
He got upset.
Dad, why the nice things are always so hard to get?
I mean… see how long it took us to reach here.
That's life.
Sometimes you go up, other times you go down…
the important is not to forget where you want to go.
And when you reach there,
is that the end of the way?
It can be the end of the way,
or a new beginning.
Where is dad? He promised to sleep next to me.
I don't know, Lia.
I don't know what he is doing,
I don't know where he wanders,
I don't know where he is.
I know where he is.
At least, I think so.
Forgive me.
Thank you.
I love you.
I am sorry.
Forgive me.
Thank you.
I love you.
I am sorry!
Forgive me!
Thank you!
I love you!
Repeat after me:
I am sorry.
Forgive me.
Thank you.
I love you.
Come on, say it!
I am sorry.
Forgive me.
Thank you.
I love you.
There he is!
-Dad! -Dad!
