Before the Rains Page #2

from London.

Ask her father, Zekir.

Go.

Sit down.

You've gone gray, too.

Welcome.

Have you come from far?

Very far.

How do people live

in the world?

Good, if they know how,

same as here.

Welcome.

The times...

they're no good.

They used to be better.

Blood is in the air.

It's stuffy.

It should rain.

It must,

sooner or later.

For the children.

This was for the husband.

I didn't know he'd passed away.

Last year, in a car accident.

God rest his soul.

This is for you.

For me?

Like in American movies.

Sitting Bull.

Come in, Hana.

Help yourself.

Thank you.

Go away!

- Welcome.

- Thank you.

My grandson, Ali.

Kiss his hand.

Why is he here?

- Say thank you.

- He doesn't belong here.

Take the gifts to your

sister.

He doesn't belong here.

Get out!

I'll slit his throat!

Mother, Father, forgive me.

We're having a wedding

without you.

Be joyful...

If you only were here to

share our happiness.

Rest in peace.

Hello?

What's up?

What's up?

Hey, old man.

I want to speak to

Alexander Kirkov.

There's no such person here.

Who did they want?

Nobody.

Come on.

You beauty!

Sh*t.

What is it going to be,

a boy or a girl?

It doesn't matter, as long as

it's a boy.

Come on, my dear.

Where did you get to

yesterday?

I got as drunk

as a skunk.

- It's good for your liver.

- What liver? Long gone.

You forgot how to drink

in England.

You've got the sexiest girls

there.

Congratulations!

Bojan, fetch brandy.

- We already have one here.

Come on, fetch the

good stuff.

He wasn't this worried

about his wife.

What a bore this cousin

of yours is.

I video-tapped a programme

about you:

Our man made it

in the big world.

Vietnam, Beirut... - Vietnam

was before my time.

Same sh*t.

- Are you tired?

- As if I'd left yesterday.

Everything is the same.

I feel good here.

Comfortable.

America, England, where

they don't shoot...

...that's where

it's comfortable.

They shoot more there.

You can't imagine

the killings I've seen.

"Will these hands

ne'er be clean?"

They won't start

shooting here.

People are peaceful.

They used to say that

about Bosnia.

Now the world's watching

a circus.

Waiting to kill each other.

- I was in Bosnia.

- And? Bad, huh?

An industrial in jury?

Are you tired?

I'm tired.

There's no reason

to fight here, Doc.

They'll find a reason;

war is a virus.

We split in two:
Our village,

their village.

People give nasty looks.

I'll go and see Hana.

- Where's Bojan?

- You've just missed him.

See her, but behave yourself.

Keep it in your pants.

Come to Auntie, my dear.

Let's go.

Hurry!

Where?

Let the damned Albanians

rot on a pitchfork.

One of theirs.

Whore with a pitchfork.

The children saw the Albanian

slut with him this morning.

- I'll strangle her myself.

- And then what?

Keep out of it,

you're not from here.

We'll be at the sheepfold.

Take it.

It's time to collect.

Five centuries of our blood.

Take it.

Poison yourself.

Did you see guns?

- Yeah.

You haven't seen anything yet.

This is only the infantry.

Politicians are all

we need now.

Where is the UN now?

Back next week,

to bury the dead.

Have a nice war.

Take pictures.

You know what?

You're crazy, too.

Correct. I'm still here

in this asylum.

Hana?

It's me.

How are you?

Bad.

Tell me.

My daughter is missing.

Your cousin.

- Zdrave?

- Yes, Zdrave.

Do you see what's happening

to our people?

I see.

You just watch.

Help me.

As if she were yours.

Cousin.

I almost killed you.

Shame on you.

- Why?

She is a child. A child.

That child killed

my brother.

How do you know? There's

the police and the law,

let them decide.

You left long ago, you don't

know how it is here now.

Live your own life.

That's why I'm here.

I couldn't live with myself

if I let you do this.

Cousin, wait a minute.

Aco, come back.

Aco, I'll shoot.

Do you hear?

- Aco, I'll shoot.

- Coward.

Alex, I'll shoot.

Shoot, cousin. Shoot!

Run!

Run! Run!

Whore!

Shoot, cousin.

Shoot!

Aco, don't you worry,

you'll be all right.

Look.

It's going to rain.

You whore!

Blind fool.

It's going to rain.

The flies are biting.

It's already raining

down there.

Come on, it's time.

And time doesn't wait.

And the circle

is not round.
