Razvan and Simona live there, they work in Germany.
They came home for the holidays.
Petre drives lorries all over Europe.
His son, too, just like his father.
All around Europe.
These neighbours are in Italy, I don't know exactly where.
- Lots are in Italy. - Yeah.
- Here is Marius. - He is in Spain.
In Madrid.
This one here, near Valer, is in Spain too.
Ion here is in Munich, in Germany.
Ion who? Oh, I meant the neighbour here.
- Florin... - ...in Italy.
This neighbour here is in France.
These ones are in the cemetery.
It's over with them.
Lenuța is in Germany...
...and I'm the only one in Austria.
Oh dear, look at that...
...it's all run down.
- Wanna go in? - No.
The roof is already fallen in.
Come, Daniel!
I imagined it there in the corner.
Here, yes. We are building it here.
Not so close.
Maybe here.
And the entrance will be over there.
It will face the path so it will be easy to drive in.
There is enough space.
It will be passed on to our children and grandchildren.
- There we can build the parking lot. - And here the playground.
It’s solid ground, no problem at all.
But the fence, oh dear!
Yes, I must rebuild it in the spring.
There's so much to do.
A lot of work.
And money.
Where will we get so much money?
Ionuț, get me a tissue!
My nose is running.
Okay, come on!
Hello mommy.
Perfect timing! I'm making meatballs.
Wanna do it?
I make the balls, you fill and spin.
- I make the balls! - Come on!
- Don't be so silly! - You are silly!
Stop it!
Okay, let's do it.
- How does this thing work? - Fill it!
- Ok, then make some balls! - There are some.
And I'm supposed to fill the machine and turn?
That’s not fair.
Some more...
...more...
...more!
Still bothering me?
Is this enough now?
The cat can have it. Rocket!
Boy...
In the beginning it was...
...difficult. It was hard for them without me.
A man often doesn’t know
what a woman does for the family.
Now everything is on his shoulders,
and I think he has become aware of it.
My husband, I don't know...
he is more understanding.
Now, that he stays at home...
...he appreciates me more, respects me more.
We don't have time to bore each other.
It's cold! Come inside...
Sit down! Don't stand there like reed.
Has Costel passed by yet?
Yes, for Christmas Eve, to sing Christmas carols.
There were you... and the girls...
Were any other children there to sing Christmas carols?
No, nobody. Children no longer do that.
The weather was also bad, it rained...
Children no longer do that.
I don't need that!
See, how nice that looks on her!
- Yes, really! - Look at yourself in the mirror!
Give me some rings too, I don't have any, you have many!
I can't stay, tomorrow I leave.
Leaving tomorrow?
May God help you to arrive safely.
You see, some are not allowed...
It is as it is.
I have to pack and check
that I leave everything in order for the children...
When you've got all your stuff together,
when you've done everything for them...
Tomorrow morning...
Bye! I will be back in a month.
Goodbye. I'll see you again in a month.
Do you have the radio on?
Do you have the car radio on?
So what? Is there an accident?
Is there an accident or is it a traffic jam to the border?
It is an accident, isn’t it?
There is no accident. It’s a traffic jam up to the border.
And this is the shortest waiting time, I've looked it up online.
Oh boy...
When I met my first patient...
...he asked, "Where‘s Romania?"
I was quite surprised.
So I took a map and showed him.
"Here is Hungary", he knew that, "and beyond there’s Romania".
And he said, "Oh, what a big country!"
Yeah, more than twice the size of Austria.
Move, you idiot! Or I'll run you over!
I would have come closer, but I didn't want to run over you.
- Run him over! - Then I'll have to pay.
We are... I don't know. We are nobody.
We are women coming here to work.
This is how we're seen.
But what they don't see,
is that they need us much more than we need them.
Many of us behave as if it was just a job.
But you can't do this job without empathy.
Yes, we're already here.
Wait a little...
- Yeah, so warm... - That's fine.
Thank you.
André Rieu in Las Vegas. Is it good?
Look at him, he must go.
It's a huge thing, isn't it?
It's advertising.
What do you want for lunch?
- What? - What do you want to eat?
- Already? - Yes, I have to cook now.
- Potatoes? - Palatschinken.
- Pancakes? - Yes, please!
Okay, pancakes!
20 years ago... I met Maria.
We were in love. But we had nothing.
We loved each other and stuck together.
Those were difficult years for us in Romania.
Few jobs, low wages.
But thanks to our work we made progress.
And love's kept us together.
Someone has to take care of the children.
If no one stays with the children...
...the family is practically broken.
If you don't have a good family life, your children won't love you,
you haven't achieved anything in life.
For Instagram, so you'll find a girlfriend!
Wow, mini-professional! Stay there.
So, Ionuț, take a seat.
Let me set it up.
Come, sit down!
What if the priest arrives?
Even if he arrives, what can he do to us?
So...
Let's take an interview!
I'll set the camera...
3, 2, 1, action!
- Hello world, hello Ionuț! - Hello.
Today we're talking about Ionuț's future.
And what he wants to achieve in his career.
Let's start with the questions.
I'm listening.
I'll put the camera down. This will be cut.
Ready, Nuțu?
Tell me a little bit about yourself now, and in the future.
What do you want to do with your life?
Come on, I'm listening.
What should I say about myself.
I would like to finish high school, get my diploma.
I don't know... I want to buy a more professional bike.
And about the future... I don't know...
I want to go to the police academy, because I want to become a gendarme.
- Wanna become a gendarme? - Yeah.
Let's move on.
Third take.
I've seen, you...
Ionuț...
- One more question. - Shoot!
- Do you still get child allowance? - No, it goes to mom's account.
I have to ask mom for it.
Same for me, but I withdraw it. Listen...
Do you know that elsewhere wages are much higher than in Romania?
Yes.
But it is more expensive there.
- Do you like Romania? - Yeah.
- And you want to become a gendarme? - Yeah.
Where? In Romania or in another country?
In Romania.
This is my home country, I wouldn't go abroad.
Maybe we'll film something tomorrow. Let's see.
Look, over there!
No, watch out! Don't go!
If the priest comes, he'll run after us!
We could've gotten drunk. This had wine in it.
- What? - This thing here.
Have you seen my rain cover?
- Waterproof! - Yes, waterproof, Romanian style.
Ionuț, would you like to film something together with your family?
Yes, why not?
I believe they also had dreams when they were young.
- Are you not going, Ionela? - No.
Don't you want, or...?
I'm not going! Leave my family behind? No way.
For just one month or two, just to try!
May God protect us all, but I don't like it. Leaving like that.
Everyone decides for themselves. What should I say?
Ionela remains to take care of those, whose women are gone.
Who else should make you coffee every morning?
I'm just saying for as long as she can...
You go away four, five months a year.
And everything changes.
That's true, it's a different salary.
My daughter wanted to work here too. But how much does she earn? 1,500 lei?
300 euros.
The wages are so low...
This one too.
Wait, I'll open the door for you.
- A Chevrolet! - Very expensive.
Look, a small one. 5,900.
I can't spend that much money.
This is not for a novice driver.
Anyway, for 2,500 euros I won't find a good car.
This gives me a headache...
It doesn't need to be a special car. What if someone hits me?
- Look out and don't... - No, I'm not doing anything silly.
I don't like the fact that you are always riding with friends.
It's dangerous.
Leave me alone, I'll take a look at the car tomorrow.
But check others too,
so you can choose. Don't buy the first one.
Do you understand? That's what I mean.
- Yes, I understand... - ...not the first one available.
Compare them, see how much they cost...
Yes, I'll have a look.
Okay.
Hello! Could you join us in the garden?
Why?
I would like to show you something, or, well, you could help me...
Just one second...
Don't worry, finish your work...
Do you have time?
A little bit, I'll find some!
Well... I would like to interview you, if you agree!
An interview?
Yes, a short interview. Is that okay?
What is it about?
I'll tell you when we begin.
Okay, then. First, let's find a nice place.
I thought maybe here.
Because there are blossoms, the tree, and over there that little house.
- It's a well. - Oh.
- Right here, all right? - Okay.
- But I need a chair. - Then go...
Okay, I'll find a nice place.
- Wouldn't it be better on the meadow? - There are ticks!
Hello!
Today I've decided to interview you.
I must come up with a good question.
Let's talk about the present. What is your job? How old are you?
Where do you live? What are your passions?
At the moment... I'm on holiday, until tomorrow.
I work as a 24 hour caregiver in Austria.
I'm 43 years old...
- May many more follow! - Thank you!
I don't know, this job doesn't leave much time for passions.
What would you change to make time for your dreams?
I am satisfied of what I have achieved so far.
At my age I cannot wish for more.
I hope I can live my old age in peace
without being a burden for my children.
Now it's their turn to make their dreams come true.
I help them as much as I can.
You still have a long life ahead.
If you had 200 years left,
what would you do?
You still have a life to live!
Mainly I want to see my children to be successful...
...I'd like to work abroad for some more years. It's very difficult.
And I... I have an idea.
A business idea?
A business idea that can give me a monthly income.
I already know where...
I've got a plan, more or less.
Working abroad, it's most of all a sacrifice.
I scold myself, calm down on my own.
I argue with myself that it is okay.
You made me coffee?
- Take it off the table. - Give it to me!
- How was work yesterday? - Easy.
- Much work? - Yeah.
I'll help you with half the money.
- With 1,500 euros? - With 1,500 euros.
When I have the money, I'll buy myself a car.
Until then, I can manage.
I hate that you depend on your friends at night.
Do you think I like that?
Do you think I like that? No.
Until I buy a car, it will be okay like that.
I'll see.
Saving from your salary is hard.
That's it.
I'll make money and move out.
Don't you want me to have my own home?
Of course, I want you to stand on your own feet.
It's every parent's dream.
I don't know what you dream of. I just know what I dream of.
I dream that you're fine.
I want to be on my own. I'm tired of this living room.
Rocket! Meow!
You think he's stupid...
- Tomorrow I leave. - That's it.
Since you've arrived, you haven't done much anyway.
That's what you think.
Every time you're at home, you're always on the phone.
As if you weren't here at all.
I've told you that before. Don't you think?
You come home, and if I want to talk to you,
someone calls you. Whether in the car or at dinner.
It never happens that you let it ring.
Then you talk for an hour.
When we need something from you, you say: "Wait...",
And then, you keep talking on the phone.
I told you!
When you come home, it's like you're not here.
You hardly pay any attention to us, at least not to me.
You call me to help you, and you keep talking on the phone.
Who knows when we'll talk to each other again.
How long will you be gone? Three weeks?
Four?
And then four more at home, right?
Are you leaving tomorrow?
I'll give you my suit to iron. I'm going to a party.
They know why I'm here it's all for the family.
But I'm prepared to be accused in the future,
"You weren't there in the important moments."
We all have difficult phases, are angry, disappointed.
And maybe they would like to have me there.
But I'm not. That's clear.
The money and the gifts... they are only temporary.
Money does not replace feelings. That's clear.
Once lost, you can't catch up.
I am proud of my children and hope they're proud of me too.
Dear people, come close!
Happy Women's Day, to all women in the world!
Now you'll hear the voice of Eastern European women,
that work here in Austria as caregivers.
Today is our day!
But not to be applauded, praised and celebrated.
It is our day to revolt.
The pandemic has shown that care for the elderly is crucial,
that society would collapse without us, who look after the elderly.
And for what? For about three euros per hour.
Yes, you heard right. Three euros for an important job.
Important work done by women,
without which an entire sector would collapse.
And in our home countries, our families are waiting for us.
Children, men and elderly parents we had to leave behind.
We are here for them!
We started from zero. No, less, from minus.
We lived with our parents after we married.
It was not okay, but we had no alternative.
We wanted to build something, save money for a house, for the kids.
But we didn't get any further. So I decided
to work abroad. In Belgium.
Gabi was still small at the time.
I think he was five or six, he was already in school.
And one day on his way to school he had an accident.
Someone hit him while on his bike.
And... I always called home on Saturdays.
We were allowed to talk to our family for ten minutes each,
from the Belgian boss's laptop.
We were locked up for the rest of the time.
No one should know how much we earned.
We were practically slaves... Slaves with some money.
So, I call home.
And Gabi says, "Look Daddy, what I have!"
And he shows me a crutch.
Imagine you're 2,500 km away,
you can't get away and you see your son with a plaster.
At that moment, I thought, "It's over."
I don't care about the money, I just wanna go home.
But I had to stay there until the work was finished.
Your child is in that condition and you can't...
It was hard.
Then, my wife and I decided...
She worked in a shop nearby...
...for 700, 800 lei, about 150 euros.
A starvation wage, actually.
She said, "I'm not doing this anymore. That won't take us anywhere."
So, we decided together...
..."now you leave."
When I stay here for 28 days...
...I go home for 26. Because I am on the road for two days.
You have to behave accordingly.
In this job, you must not be upset or tired.
You can't have any pain.
Because they'll worry about me.
I can't be a burden for them, they have enough of it themselves.
Thank you.
- Thank you. Thank you. - You're welcome.
The heat is good for my knees.
- Yes, I'll sit in the sun too. - Come, sit near me.
Yes, let's warm our knees.
Daisy darling, you're one of us, you're already all nice and warm.
- Hello! - Hello!
- I milk them while you are there. - Let's see how much milk they give.
- It doesn't have much milk. - No milk?
It has no milk?
It has none.
It has...
It has a lot.
- I hope the milk won't get sour. - It will not.
I'll do it tomorrow morning, don't worry.
- But who holds the sheep while milking? - I do it myself.
Is there any water for them at the river?
Isn't there enough water?
- Shepherd, how much milk do you have? - Take it!
Tomorrow morning the sheep must get enough water...
See you tomorrow or the day after.
Happy holidays!
I think the day after tomorrow. I haven't cleaned and washed yet.
In two days.
Otherwise, you can come.
I'll take good care of them.
What do we do about the sheep?
He doesn't milk them properly, doesn't look after them.
- He can't manage. - Let's go and get them.
He has called and said he can no longer look after them.
He can't walk well with his leg.
They ran away in the morning, someone else brought them back.
Laie can't. He is old and his leg is four centimetres short.
Did he break it?
He fell off a horse when he was 16 or 17.
It has healed crookedly.
He can't undergo surgery, he has heart and lung problems.
With one eye, one lung wing, and one leg.
He's only half a man!
He can't take it anymore. And he's old.
He's still in good shape after all.
- He is fearless... - ...but weak.
You must run after the sheep.
Gabi, go after them, do not let them turn around.
Catch it, Gabi!
Come here, little lamb...
Little lamb, come to daddy...
Ionuț, Gabi, get it!
Let it come here!
Get it! Hold it tight...
Is the goat in there too?
The goat is over there with the kid.
God be with you, have a good trip!
May the animals be healthy!
With my leg, I can't anymore.
- Agrișan, take this! - What should I take?
It doesn't work.
Hello!
Bite! Bite both!
Don't be so stiff, a little bit more dynamic...
- So, what do you want to become? - Veterinarian.
- You, Anna? - Doctor.
- Petruța? - Psychologist.
- What kind of doctor? - Dentist.
Where do you want to be a veterinarian? Here or...?
- Here. - Why?
Here I'm closer to my family.
The family tie is so strong that you won't leave the country?
- It would be the same for you! - Okay.
But is there something that could make you go abroad?
Yes. Money.
Petruța.
Wait, I haven't asked the question yet...
Where do you think that...
- What did she want again...? - Psychologist.
Where? In Romania or abroad?
- Here. - Why?
Could anything change your decision?
Yes. Money.
You, Anna?
In England.
Oh, you're different! Why England and not Spain or Italy?
Because wages are higher there.
And my siblings are there.
- One or more? - A brother and a sister.
You want to go to England? How clever.
A good life does not necessarily mean luxury.
If you have security for tomorrow, then it is a good life.
If you don't have to ask yourself what you will eat tomorrow.
How to pay the next instalment.
If you don't have this stress,
no thoughts to keep you awake at night.
How much longer will you be working in Austria?
A few more years... As long as I have the strength.
We...
We have a plan, a business idea for the future.
But I think it will take another four or five years.
We want a kind of...
...build a guesthouse, a small holiday home for rent.
Where did you work?
Me? First, I was in Spain.
Then in Italy.
In Spain for two months,
in Italy for three months.
Then I came back to fetch my family.
- And then three more. - No, it was six months.
We ran out of money there.
Her sister gave us bus tickets to get back home.
So we went back home.
I stayed for a while and then I went to France,
to work with EUR-pallets. For three months.
I could have stayed longer.
But I missed my wife and children, so I went back home.
- From there to Italy, France... - ...Spain and then Scotland.
No, Denmark...
I was in Denmark for nine months!
- So long? - Yeah, I couldn't go home!
Nine months and... that was it.
And then Scotland. We were there for four years.
And I was in Germany!
Seven countries!
I worked only in Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic.
And you, Daniel?
Belgium, Germany...
And Austria too!
I just wanted to say that you brought money from Austria too!
So... Belgium, Germany, Austria, France, Italy, Spain, Egypt...
I was in Moldova, but not to work.
Also in Bulgaria, that was a holiday.
So, seven countries.
I would also drive through Hungary very often.
And you, Minodora?
Me? I was in Italy, Germany and Scotland.
That's it.
And now you're coming to Austria! We'll find you a nice family!
You speak German, English, Romanian...
No!
In Austria, you do only four weeks in a row.
But it's hard to find a place where you can take the kids with you.
So it's a month there. That's not so bad.
Not even a month! Four weeks.
Not even the radishes!
No vegetables this year.
You should not work so hard.
Nothing ripened this year.
Food is not so important, the most important thing is we don't die.
If I didn't take medication, I would eat even less.
Some yogurt, eat yogurt in the morning.
I drink goat milk!
But that has calories, it's healthy!
Spending money on yogurt? I don't have money for yogurt!
- On Wednesday I'm going back to work. - Are you leaving again?
- The month is already over. - So fast...
I don't have time to visit you anymore.
But Monday afternoon, when it's not so hot anymore,
take the horse-drawn carriage and come see me.
Come, sheep, come!
Come on, you too, I'm closing it!
Exactly eight kilos.
Us... who will take care of us?
I have often thought about that,
because I don't want to be a burden to my children.
I have done good things and I expect
life to give me back good things.
I hope... I don't know...
I hope I can manage until the end by myself.
The light is still on over there. We'll talk later.
- Have a safe trip. - Thank you.
Goodbye.
