Bacalaureat Page #2

- Thank you.

I had a cousin who got raped

For years she-

No...

No, my girl wasn't raped,

Just assaulted.

Goodbye then.

How is she?

How do you think?

Magda...

Did you know Eliza

isn't a virgin?

I had an idea.

Why didn't you tell me?

It's personal,

you don't just talk about it.

So how did you know?

Because I'm her mother.

Magda, we agreed that

when it comes to Eliza, we talk.

I didn't hide anything.

Maybe she doesn't want

to talk about this with you.

She can discuss anything with me.

Why didn't she then?

I don't know.

Maybe you told her not to?

I thought we had a real talk.

Do you like

this motorcycle instructor

she hangs out with?

Whether I do or not,

it's her business now.

Encourage her to date a guy

who sells used cars from Germany!

He doesn't sell them.

He just brought over

a bike for himself.

Yes, right.

Want me to pick her boyfriends?

Let her experience life.

Nowadays you don't have to marry

the first guy you hold hands with.

As if I was

the first you held hands with.

Relax, I wasn't thinking of you.

Not everything's about you,

you know.

I'll pack her school lunch.

Should she sit the exam tomorrow?

Of course.

You think this is something

you just shake oft?

Magda! Her scholarship depends on it!

Be responsible!

I am, but it's not like

today didn't happen. It happened.

She can't throw away

all her work because of an accident.

Accident?

So rape is an accident?

He didn't rape her!

Stop saying that, all of you!

He just forced his head...

Stop it!

She'll sit the exam,

and that's final!

It's time to let her decide.

I will. And she'll agree,

you'll see.

Just don't meddle.

Could you two keep it down?

Where are your socks?

Eliza.

Tomorrow I'll see

if we can postpone the exam.

But if we can't,

you have to do your best.

I don't know if I can write.

Everybody will be nice to you.

They'll understand.

I'm going to bed now.

Excuse me, madam!

Madam!

Good morning.

I have to talk to an exam supervisor.

But the guards here claim...

- Parents are not allowed.

- It's fine, don't worry.

There are rules-

Don't worry, I'll handle it!

Doctor,

I agree it's a prestigious university,

but the regulations state that-

Mr. President.

Do they state "no casts allowed"?

We have to rule out

all possible fraud.

Her final high school average was 9.5!

Yes but last year we had a good student

with notes in his plaster.

Isn't it a case-by-case decision?

Yes, but the procedure-

She was attacked

in front of the school!

Not in the school

so it's not our fault!

It's never the school's fault, is it?

Doctor, we're deeply sorry,

but the rules-

Please just allow her to sit the exam!

Let the board decide

if she's to be disqualified.

But please give her a chance!

Send her in.

And let's hope we get no complaints.

You won't.

Thank you, I'm in your debt.

Let's go.

- Did you bring my results?

- There.

They changed your medication.

You're on Cavinton now.

For a month, then we'll see.

Wait...

There's a page missing?

Really, Mum, don't you trust me?

Here. Take this when you go.

What's this?

The photo album.

I found it in the cabinet.

Don't you want to keep it?

Eliza may want it, when she leaves.

There are photos of her.

Fine.

But calm down,

Pandele told you to rest.

You turned the house upside down.

Because I forgot where it was,

that's why.

Fine, fine.

Eliza said she'd stop by, yesterday,

to take up her party dress.

Mum, she's busy with the exams,

with going away...

Don't open for anyone,

some convicts escaped.

It was on the radio.

I don't agree with her leaving,

not one bit.

So what should we do?

You say that now,

but do you know the feeling,

when your child leaves?

I understand, Mum,

but it's for her sake.

What if she studied here in Cluj?

What's there for her here, Mum?

What's so terrible about here?

She has her home,

she has you.

She'd be nearby, you'd have each other.

Everything is difficult here,

you need to-

Do you think

it's any different elsewhere?

She should stay and change things!

If they all leave...

We stayed and what did we change,

in the end?

You changed what could be changed.

There, you don't need connections.

She's not the type to tough it out.

And after we're gone...

It's because you babied her.

She's never had to face trouble.

We had our own share of trouble

already.

I should go now.

Anything else you need?

I told you before, but you forgot.

What?

Clear the grass from the grave.

And pour some concrete,

it's cleaner.

Really, Mum...

Please, do it for me.

I can't do it myself anymore.

Fine, I'll see.

You said that already.

I won't forget. Bye.

Take care.

- Lock the door!

- I will.

How is Eliza doing?

So-so.

Thanks for this morning.

That guy's an idiot.

Good thing it worked out.

For her scholarship, she needs...

At least a 9. On average.

This is so stupid.

What?

Nothing.

Tell me.

It's nothing.

My period is 6 days late.

Why that face?

What face?

That one.

I wasn't expecting it.

Why not?

Shall we talk now?

You seem a bit tense.

Good thing you're so calm.

Isn't that Matei?

Yes.

I couldn't leave him home alone.

I'll be off.

Yes, Magda.

She's out, she's with me.

She just got out.

She did well

on what she could finish.

She didn't do the last two questions.

No, not at all.

She just didn't have time.

You can talk to her at home.

Would you talk to Mum?

Mum, I'll call you later, OK?

No, nothing hurts.

I knew the answers but...

I don't know.

No, that wasn't it.

I call you a bit later, Mum,

OK?

Calm down,

it's not the end of the world.

We'll manage, don't worry.

Shall I drive you home?

No, I'm meeting Marius.

Is that a good idea?

I promised.

Thanks.

Sandu!

Yes, I?

- The doctor's here.

- I'm coming.

What are these for?

I had this breakdown...

Because of the divorce?

Maybe.

No idea.

I panicked.

I'd made a mess of my life...

I'd wasted it...

So I went to a doctor

who told me to get these marbles.

Here's one for each day I've lived

and here, there's one

for each day until I retire,

at 65,

unless they change the law again.

So every evening I move one marble

and think a bit.

Was he a doctor or a priest?

A doctor but you know,

that kind of doctor...

The marking scheme for Romanian.

Well done, Sandu!

- One more task.

- Please.

The good doctor here noticed

a surveillance camera at the comer.

- By the school?

- Yes.

Solved. The recording comes today.

Bravo, Sandu.

- Anything else?

- That's all.

Thank you, sir.

Let's see...

3.2 for the character description.

2.5 for the vocabulary section...

say 2, she didn't finish it...

1.5 for the predicative clause...

My daughter will get a 1,

and Eliza...

- Minus the last 2 questions.

- 8...

- It's the right breakdown?

- Certainly.

Not good, then.

She'd need straight tens

in the next tests.

I believe she can do it.

The September session, maybe?

Too late, I checked.

- You should talk to Bulai.
