Ana, My Love

---

1

- ...and in Beyond Good and Evil.

- That was the context.

They used Nietzsche, too.

His fanatical sister,

what's her name...

She forged them.

Elisabeth Frster.

Right.

She fell in love with Hitler.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Nietzsche says that

anti-Semitism is abject

and he wants nothing to do with it.

His sister removed that

from the book.

Women!

Yeah.

But imagine not reading Nietzsche at all.

Like Oprea and

all those half-wits.

No wonder you get things wrong.

Nietzsche's Superman

isn't the Nazis' Aryan.

Blond, tall, smart, muscly.

Like my mum likes them!

He's the man who has mastered

his instincts and fears.

Right.

He says morality is the consequence

of a fear that enslaves individuals.

- Because they deny themselves.

- Exactly.

Slave morality means charity,

kindness, humility.

Which strong individuals

don't recognize as values.

So the masses

see those individuals as dangerous.

Obviously!

He's got nothing to do with Hitler.

He was just an impotent masochist.

Right.

...which can't be said

about the master next door!

Those noises!

- Hers?

- Who else!

That's nothing!

She must be faking it.

- I'm sorry.

- It's OK.

Sorry Toma.

- Hi.

- Razvan?

He doesn't live here anymore.

Another glass?

Ana?

Are you ok?

What?

- What happened?

- I'm feeling a bit sick.

I need air.

- I'm getting dizzy.

- Lie down.

Has this happened before?

- I forgot my pills.

- What pills?

- Some pills I take.

- Should I go buy some?

What can I do?

Stay with me a bit.

Better now?

I'll do anything to feel better

I'm the one who lives within you

I am the child within you.

I'm peeing myself!

- Easy!

- Come on. I wanna pee!

I wanna pee!

Let's go there.

Let's go out.

- We're missing it!

- Turn away.

Boo!

You're insane!

How's my Willy?

You like it!

- I do. But now I can't pee.

- See?

We're missing them!

Come on.

So you're a bit older than her.

Yes.

- You studied economics?

- I dropped out.

I applied because of my parents.

But what's a literature major for?

We can teach.

Toma wants to write.

Or become a journalist.

You think there's money

in journalism?

Listen, here in Botosani...

Igor, it's different in Bucharest.

- More?

- No, thanks.

- You didn't like it?

- It was great, but I'm full.

What about the second course?

Just serve him,

no need to ask.

- So you're alone in your dorm room?

- What's this, an interrogation?

He's old enough,

he can handle it.

- So you see a lot of each other?

- Every day. At university.

- Where are you from?

- Pitesti.

- What do your parents do?

- They're teachers.

Biology and chemistry.

So how do you manage for money?

We rent out an apartment in Bucharest.

It's in my name.

He's got a scholarship, too.

Is the apartment big?

Yes, it's pretty big.

Three rooms.

The kitchen's about the size

of this room.

- How could your parents afford it?

- Tutoring for med school.

Any siblings?

No.

- May I?

- Go ahead!

- You?

- No.

Eat a bit.

- Very good.

- I know.

I left Igor's spare pyjamas

on your bed.

I'm fine like this.

It's very hot.

Boo.

Get out!

- What do you think?

- Get out. Are you nuts?

He'll come after you! Get out.

What are you thinking about now?

It's silly.

It's got nothing to do with it.

I remembered the joke:

"Clothes don't make the man".

Is that a joke?

Did I say that?

The proverb, whatever.

Joke.

Do you think clothes

make the man or not?

Seriously?

Of course not.

So why do you think you associated

wearing Igor's pyjamas with the proverb?

Clothes don't make the man.

Just now...

I remembered a dream I had.

Right.

I forgot it already.

That's ok.

It'll come back.

I'm useless!

Whatever.

I can't figure anything out anymore.

Now this free association thing

seems very complicated.

It seems simple in theory.

Your recollections always contain

the beginning of a sexual act

which you haven't verbalized.

- How so?

- Not all the way through.

Verbalize a sexual act "all the way"?

You've never allowed yourself

to re-live things emotionally.

For instance, when you

first met Ana, in the dorm.

- You stopped...

- Is that why I thought of Botosani?

Because I couldn't sleep

with her there?

Yes, that too.

I'm dizzy. Enough!

I'm panicking a bit.

Sweetie...

What are you afraid of?

I don't know.

You like being afraid.

Is this better?

Like this?

Good tummy...

Better now?

The wall grew closer

Up to the little ribs

Up to the little tits

Up to the little lips

Down to the little bush

Down to the little p*ssy...

You like it?

I'm dizzy.

You like it!

I was sleeping.

You like it!

Yes, I like it!

Should I kiss your little ass?

Yes, your little ass.

Was your father really a defector?

That's what she said.

I'm sure Igor knows.

In a small town people talk.

That's their business.

Were you never curious?

They just told you when

you were 17, and that was it?

Does it matter now?

Jesus.

You want to know everything!

Did your mother know?

That Igor was giving you baths?

You were 13, 14.

And she did nothing?

Did you at least talk to her

about it?

I'm talking to you about it.

You still love me?

I'll think about it.

You little whore, you!

What business is this of yours?

You can start talking

when you tell us who my father is.

Keep your voice down!

Igor!

You want me to start talking?

We're off!

I can't stand it anymore!

- What happened?

- I told you we shouldn't have come!

If you leave now,

there's no coming back!

F***ing b*tch!

You want to get a cab?

God!

Ana, do you hear me?

Want to get a cab?

Can you hear me?

What is it?

Talk to me.

I'm scared.

What of?

- I don't know.

- What do you mean?

There's nothing to be afraid of.

I'm with you.

I don't know.

What should I do?

Darling, if you don't talk to me

I can't help you.

Leave me alone.

I'll get better on my own.

- Come on.

- Leave me.

Toma!

Just over a year.

Since her father died.

And before?

Half a Lexotanil and a Tavor.

1mg Tavor, 3mg Lexotanil.

Since when?

Since I was 17.

Seven-eight years.

Her father gave them to her

for insomnia and anxiety.

You know, these benzodiazepines

create addiction.

Dizziness can be a side effect.

Especially after all these years.

You said you haven't

gone out in months. Why?

She has these... panic attacks.

Ana, look at me.

On the way here,

what were you afraid of?

Can you explain?

I wasn't afraid

of anything in particular.

I can't explain.

At 17, when you got anxiety attacks,

had something happened?

Don't you want to talk about Igor?

- She found out he wasn't her dad.

- Let her talk.

- Did he abuse you?

- God, no.

Did he beat you?

But you slept in the same bed

until recently.

- Toma!

- What?

At 13 he was giving her baths

and petting her belly.

Sleeping with family

doesn't mean she was abused.

The shock of finding out

he wasn't her real dad

might explain some things.

Perhaps.

How about your biological father?

I don't know him.

He left the country

before she was born.
