and drugged me.

And who messed with my father

and stole my heritage.

Safet. Kazatchok.

I know who cheated my father.

Last chance.

The moment of truth.

Kiss my ass.

Attention.

One, two, three... freedom.

What are you doing?

Is this seat taken?

What do you want?

- Lemonade.

Hey you.

- Me?

Get an ice-cream.

I'm not an errand-boy.

You're always following me around,

might as well make yourself useful.

Don't you think so?

- Exactly.

Out of the way.

Strawberry or vanilla?

Strawberry and vanilla. Four servings.

Where are you going?

Are you in a hurry?

I've got to tell you something.

Where did you go to?

- Finish my lemonade.

Shame you're getting married.

I just thought:
He's young, but handsome.

I'm falling in love.

And now you're getting married.

Married? Who's getting married?

I'm only thinking about you.

I'm always here for you.

It's over. Don't make a fuss.

That's a lie.

Someone's setting me up.

Don't lie to me. I'm too young,

I don't want to marry.

Prepare yourself to get engaged.

I overheard your father and Dadan

in my grandma's inn.

They agreed last night.

It's a shame. Here.

Dadan stole the factory.

That son of a b*tch.

And now he wants me too.

You know how many people he cheated.

He got the train, the factory...

What else does he want?

What else?

His mother's p*ssy.

The Russians are here.

The water is nice.

He wants something else...

...that Dadan.

He wants to arrange a marriage

to pay of my debt.

A marriage? For whom?

For our child Zare and his sister.

The Lady-bird.

That bawler, the midget?

She's barely three feet tall.

Now I have to ask the help

of my friend Grga Pitic.

You're coming with me.

- It's too late.

Grga Pitic... is dead.

Dead?

God have mercy on his soul.

I haven't had a drink yet...

...but I'll have one now

for his salvation.

Grandfather.

There's my grandson.

Ain't he handsome?

I'll introduce you.

Hello, nurse.

Have you seen her?

- Who?

The girl.

No.

The nurse.

They call her Candy.

Those boobies, that body.

And that tiny butt. All so delicate.

I want love at first sight,

or nothing at all.

Love at first sight? Ridiculous.

The son of your deceased friend Zarija

dropped by.

He came for help.

All his money is being stolen.

I've got a score to settle with

those villians, with Little Grga.

We'll skin them like cats

and eat them alive.

I'm coming with you.

I want to see the grave of Zarija.

As you will, grandad.

It was only a proposition.

Nobody listens to me.

I'm talking to you.

I'm not getting married this way.

- Shame on you.

Miss, please.

You're my greatest enemy.

You're no brother to me.

You're a butcher.

Must our parents

curse me from their grave?

I don't want to marry.

I'm not getting married. Do you hear me?

If my true love appears,

I'll marry him.

Waist, 68.

- Who is it?

Tell me. Who is it?

I'll know when I see him.

I saw him a hundred times in my dreams.

I know what he looks like.

I know his eyes,

his face, his lips.

He's big, very big...

Which big man would want you,

stupid goose?

You're barely over three feet.

One day he'll come.

Breast, 88.

- Silence. Leave me alone.

Safet.

Cool down.

When will you let me find peace

in my own home?

Let me go.

I'll marry the man I love.

Pull.

Little sister... what can I do?

Daddy's looking at you, little sister.

Are you convinced?

I'll turn you into a fountain.

F*** you... Go on.

I'll marry the man I love.

What about your soul?

- Our parents are watching from above.

They can't see anything, it's clouded.

Hands up in the air.

Dadan. You're doing fine.

Move over, let the lady sit.

Congratulations.

Do you want something to drink?

- Coffee.

Only coffee?

- Only coffee.

Can I help you?

Ask Matko, that dumb ass.

Take care of the kitchen,

I fear the worst.

The one who looks like a vampire

and the fat one are married.

So only the little one is left.

They call her Little Lady-bird

or Smurf.

That midget?

Yes, in her bridal gown.

Good luck.

Never.

I'm here for business.

What business, Sujka?

You marry my Ida.

I see she pleases you.

My Ida.

You'll won't find a prettier girl

in the whole region.

I fed her from her birth.

We've been everywhere.

In spa's

to make her beautiful.

To buy her Italian clothes...

...we went to Rome and Napels.

- Liar.

I showed her all countries.

In the end we went to Sweden.

I know. To beg.

At least we didn't scavenge the thrash

like you did.

How much do you ask?

Give me 35.000 marks.

Grandma.

For such a tip even I won't marry.

- At once.

And I don't want see you ever again.

She's selling you like cattle.

Never.

Carry me.

Come on, carry me.

You're a weirdo.

And now... kiss me.

Damn tie.

Save me, grandpa. Don't let me be married.

I'll drink his blood.

Take it easy.

Give me that gun. Calm down.

The gun.

- I'll finish him.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Give me that gun.

Relax. Keep cool.

I'll teach him.

I know what I have to do.

I don't want to.

- Listen.

I was nearly dead. Listen.

Her brother Dadan

is a war criminal.

He'll exterminate our family.

He'll drink our blood.

- But she's a midget.

O mirror, the dead with the dead...

...the living with the living,

the children with their father.

For two months.

Then you get a divorce.

...the dead with the dead...

I don't want to marry.

I won't.

I'll prevent the marriage in an

elegant manner.

Zare.

You'll get punished.

You'll fulfill your draft

in the zoo.

I'll f*** your ratface.

Where is he?

Who?

- Your grandson.

Go ahead, play. Great.

Where is he?

Should Dadan slaughter us all?

Where is my son?

- I don't know. Couldn't care less.

Where is he?

- I don't know.

Get out of there.

You shouldn't hide your shoe.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

It's a disgrace.

The dead with the dead,

the living with the living...

Granddad.

He doesn't breathe anymore.

Grandpa is dead.

Come.

He is dead.

Come, grandpa is dead.

His heart stopped beating.

Dead?

Do you die on the day your

grandson marries?

The day he marries...

Grandpa saved me. He saved me.

We'll flee together after the

period of mourning.

You'll need a costume, shoes,

a butterfly-tie...

Wreaths of flowers, candles...

Definitively dead.

Ah it's you, Matko, you womaniser.

You're early. Eight o'clock, you said.

Where's the son in law?

I've got something to tell you.

It's urgent.

I've got to talk to you in private.

Today I only want to hear good news.

I'm listening.

My father is dead.

Really?

- Yes.

My condolences.

- What can I do?

A marriage and a funeral don't

get along well.

He can die in three days.

But he died this morning.

Who says so? Who knows?

I know. Zare...

I told you straight away.

We'll have to mourn for fourty days.

I'll mourn with you... in three days.

You're a wise man.

You didn't stop the preperations?

Sure I did.

Should my father turn in his grave?

Of course not.

Don't tell anyone about the old man.

It doesn't matter to him if he dies on
