Reverend.

Me? No.

She took the coach in the morning

and drove to Bordzichow.

She didn't tell me why.

The coachman said

she asked him stop at the market square

and went into the pharmacy.

A policeman came out of the pharmacy,

and Pauline started to run.

The children don't know yet.

I didn't have the courage to tell them.

Reverend Father, please. Please come in.

Reverend Father. Reverend

Father, please.

Reverend Father, please come in.

Come...

Why are you staring so stupidly?

Go! Work!

Are you crazy?

Do you want to ruin everything for us?

I just wanted to have a look.

See people.

It's inconceivable

that there's still a normal life.

When I'm not here, you're not allowed

to come upstairs. Do you understand me?

Go. Come on. Go.

Leave the doll. We aren't

taking it with us.

Now it's good.

We put the doll to bed.

Don't touch the candle.

You'll burn your fingers.

Do you see?

Now you get the cake.

Do you see how nicely...

I'm coming to you.

Don't worry.

I'm coming to you.

Do you see how nicely the candles burn?

You can't always smoke and leave

the light on. You can smell it upstairs.

I can't stand this anymore.

I brought you some milk.

- I can't stand this anymore.

- I...

There's a reason you torment me.

I can feel it.

Leon, please let me see sunlight.

Please, just for a moment.

It's pouring, constantly.

You're lying!

You've been saying that for days!

It's been pouring for nine days.

I can't even send people into the field.

- Send them away.

- Anyway, people are starting to talk,

saying that I'm behaving oddly,

that I've gone crazy.

They laugh at me.

We have to be careful, Rosa.

We have to be careful.

What for?

"What for"?

Maybe you don't want to live, but I do!

I do! I do!

Do you understand?

Rosa.

Forgive me. Rosa, forgive me.

Please forgive me.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

You hold me captive

so that anytime you feel like...

So that I'm at your mercy.

You only think of yourself.

That I could also get sick,

that something could happen,

you can't get that into your head.

What's the matter?

That's my business. That's my business.

Leon.

Leon, please don't go.

Please don't leave me alone. Please.

...armed forces of the inner front.

Finland has broken off diplomatic

relations with Germany

and demanded the withdrawal

of German troops from Finland

by September 15th.

Fighting was stopped

at the Finnish-Russian frontline.

What are you doing?

In Romania, the Russians are now on

the west side of the Transylvanian Alps

My husband was always doing that.

...between Ploesti and Kronstadt.

To the west of Ploesti, more...

Please, leave the music on.

Just let me be. Stop it. I can't dance.

Rosa!

Come, come, come.

I can't dance.

Kaspar, take the reins.

I have something to do.

- When will we cultivate the land, Leon?

- Whenever you like.

We should take advantage

of the good weather.

For weeks I've been wishing

to see the sun.

Now I can't bear the light.

What do you hear?

- Birds.

- What else?

Humming.

What else?

Silence.

And the warmth of the sun.

- What was that?

- That was in the woods.

- They probably shot Rubin.

- Rubin?

When they find a Jew, they shoot him.

The others who hid him, too. Somebody

must have betrayed him, you know that.

You wanted to go to him.

You would have died, too.

When I forbid you to come out of

the cellar when I'm not here,

you think that I want to torment you.

There are 12 apostles.

That's very important.

Simon was called Peter,

Saul became Paul,

- John...

- We did John already.

Leave me in peace for a while.

I can't concentrate now.

Do you even know it at all?

What were you doing all day?

- Leon.

- "Leon, Leon. "

You have to know the basic rules of the

true faith or the curate won't marry us.

Come on, we live unmarried.

We don't care.

That's a special situation.

But when the war is over, there

will be no more reason to live in sin.

I think you should be happy

to get to know the light

of the true faith.

How fortunate it is

that you didn't become a priest.

You would have been unbearable.

It's a disgrace.

It's a disgrace not to know the gospel.

And you don't know the Old Testament.

That's the origin of the faith.

You speak with contempt

about the Jewish faith

even though it's the

basis of your religion.

The Jews are the older brothers

of you pagans.

Are you crazy? What pagans?

What? You were pagans.

All gentiles were pagans.

The Jews crucified our Jesus Christ!

Your Jesus Christ was a Jew!

A Jewish messiah, if you really want

to think of it that way.

The apostles were Jews.

Your Holy Virgin Mary was also a Jew.

The only difference is that you believe

that this messiah has already come

and redeemed you.

Christ.

Jesus' suffering.

We Jews today have hundreds of thousands

of innocent martyrs.

Shut your mouth!

What right do you have

to demand that I renounce my faith?

What right do you have to compare

Jesus Christ to your Jewish riffraff?

That is a good roast goose.

Rosa.

Rosa!

Rosa!

Rosa.

Come.

Come here.

Back. Come back.

Oh, dear.

My poor man.

What have they done to you?

How absurd, to fight over faith.

In our situation, my God.

Mr. Wolny.

Mr. Wolny!

Mr. Wolny, we have a message

from the priest in Piaskow.

Old Mrs. Kaminska has died.

My God.

She wasn't that old, and I never

had the time to visit her again.

The priest wrote that you are mentioned

in her will.

- Me?

- Yes. She appointed you executor.

She hopes that you will take care of her

daughter until the end of the war.

In return,

you get a stake in one of her houses

in Cracow.

Only after the war, of course.

Now pay attention.

If you already have the possibility

of getting her daughter,

you can marry her right away.

She'll be rich after the war.

Yes. Only if the Russians

don't dispossess her, of course.

Me and Eugenia?

It's not possible. Not possible.

Not possible.

Why not? Is she better than anyone else?

She's old and ugly.

You can postpone the marriage

until the end of the war.

God only saves careful people.

I forbid you to talk like this

about Eugenia, Cybulkowski.

Mr. Wolny, you have to be a democrat.

Is she any different from the others?

Are her tits on her back, or what?

No, no, not there. Under the pear tree.

- Mr. Wolny.

- Did they tell you when the funeral is?

Yes, they did. The day after tomorrow.

Do you know that Rubin is dead?

- I know. I know.

- But you owed him $1,000.

But don't worry,

nobody will find out about that.

There's the daughter.

They haven't caught her.

But I'll testify that Rubin

had got the full amount of $2,000.

For that, you give me $500.

That's more than fair.

No. No.

This money, Maslanko,

will go to the daughter.

- It will go to the daughter. - But she

doesn't know anything about it!

Leon, think about it.

The lord is just.

When I was a stable boy,

I didn't dare talk to her,

and today she can feel glad

that I receive her.
