wednesday or friday.

Death's forever.

It doesn't matter when it begins.

You didn't hear anything.

- Nope.

We didn't hear anything.

- No.

Me neither.

Wait for the guests

and get the bride.

As you like, Dadi.

- Cheers.

He doesn't want to hear it.

- What?

Even if he kills us and places us dead at

the dinnertable, the wedding will continue!

I don't want to.

Does he have to rip my head off?

Take this.

For your soul, daddy.

Take his legs. We are going to the attic.

Turn him aside.

Get ice downstairs.

Hurry up!

Quick!

Don't do this to me.

You don't need money anymore.

Put his legs on the chair.

Get the grandchildren of Grga Pitic here!

I left six messages.

They don't answer.

Who knows where they are?

Daddy, forgive me.

Hold it above the bride.

Hold it above her head.

- I don't want to.

Get away you.

Take the child, it will bring you luck.

This is the most beautiful day...

...of your whole life.

A unique day...

...to say so.

The day of your lifes.

Answer now in front of the witnesses...

...the following questions.

Be brief. And without hesitation.

Just yes or no.

Do you...

Zare Destanov do you...

...out of free will...

...take Afrodita Karambolis to be your wife?

Karambolo.

Yes.

Yes.

And you, Afrodita...

...lovely beauty and so sweet...

...do you take Zare Destanov to

be your husband out of free will?

She says she wants to.

Let her tell. Yes or no.

I want an answer.

- Yes.

So yes it is.

I don't see any legal objection.

I now declare you man and wife...

...in my presence...

...and in the presence of this crowd.

See if the food is ready.

I don't want to.

You know my hand can be very swift.

Thunder in one hand,

lightning in the other.

Please sign this.

I cannot serve on his wedding.

Why do you care about his wedding?

On behave of the people of Sarduk...

...I declare married:

Zare Destanov and Afrodita Karambolis.

Do you cry for him?

- Yes.

Then cry.

Cry, baby, cry.

I will buy you a convertible

and half the ocean!

And three houses

bigger than America

Little girl,

you have stolen my heart

and if you were mine,

you would live like a queen,

at daytime a queen

and at nightime an empress.

Cheers, Dadi.

A real businessman and patriot.

Come and dance, little sister.

I can't.

Untie her.

Respect your brother in law, a sensible man.

Dance with your brother, it's tradition.

I don't want to.

Fine. It's your wedding.

Freedom.

Daddy, I hope you see this.

Let's see who has spent the most.

A portable recordplayer...

...from Nada Adzovic.

Zudija Adzovic donates

a vacuum cleaner.

Spaho Ahmetovic, pots and pans.

It's ok, friend.

I am going to look how daddy is doing.

Stay here and please

don't get us in trouble.

Nebojsa Palanovic

donates this ugly thing.

Don't show the people you are crying.

Don't get us in trouble.

I am a

pitbul-terrier.

I am going to give new ice to daddy.

You live poorly.

Repair your roof.

There is nothing wrong with the roof.

It's daddy who needs to be repaired.

Don't cry.

Do you want to marry someone you don't love?

No.

Neither do I.

Do you love her?

- Yes.

Help me run away.

What?

- Help me escape.

There is a big shutter near the table...

...two meter two the left.

It leads to the oil-barrels.

Can you be somewhere better?

For once be honest with me, daddy.

Where is your money from the factory sale?

Safet.

The grenades.

Grenades?

Where is the bride?

- Ask the businessman and patriot.

Everybody listen.

The bride has fled.

Chief, the bride has fled.

Chief, your siter is gone.

My sister.

Zare.

My sister...

Stop it.

Don't worry.

Your brother will not abandon you.

I will find the guilty one.

How could she remove her dress and escape?

You let your wife escape.

What have you done, stupid fool?

What have you done?

Has your sister escaped?

- No, yours.

Then why the f*** are crying?

Get f***ing lost.

Stupid junkies.

What are you doing here?

Searching for smurfette.

How did you call her?

Smurfette.

Shame on you.

You don't call my sister smurfette.

Eat sh*t.

Dont you know who I am?

F*** you.

It's not her fault,

she doesn't know anything.

She does know something.

Stop it. Everybody calls her

ladybird or smurfette.

Grandfather.

Grandfather? You are unrealistic, boy.

Grandfather.

Release him.

Don't bother your grandfather, he is dead.

Leave him, he doesn't know anything.

Where is she?

- My ear.

Let go of him, bastard.

Where is she? She hasn't vaporised.

Tell me, suckers. Or I will kill you.

Don't turn around. Look at me.

Shall I shoot?

- Later.

Dadi.

What are you doing here?

- Dadi, I am stuck.

I have important news.

My balls are stuck.

Shame on you. Repair that roof.

Forget that. I have seen the bride.

Where?

- She is going to the wood.

Safet.

Not there, friend. Further away.

The bride went that way.

I love her.

I am going to marry her.

Granddad, do you hear me?

Yes, what's the matter?

We can still turn back.

I will arrange it with Little Grga.

Visit his grave another time.

No, now.

Who knows how long I will stay alive.

Yes, but it's 39c in the shadow.

It will last.

Zarija deserves to see me.

Ok then.

I said it for your own good.

Afrodita.

Sister.

I will not harm you.

There she is.

My sister.

All ends well.

She is not here.

Maybe she is in the woods.

What a shame the bride runs

away from her own wedding.

Everybody will talk about it for years.

Nonsense.

I will find her. The wedding will continue.

Chief, it's a shoe.

Sister.

I will kill you.

Wake up, we are free.

Wake up. An earthquake.

Little Grga, if i listen to you

I will get lost.

That map is a hundred years old.

Little Grga, do you hear me?

Where did you find that atlas?

Are you asleep?

I am in trouble.

That's destiny.

Why destiny?

All this. I will still marry you.

Yes.

Who could have thought Ladybird

would be so brave?

Nobody ever revolted against Dadan...

...except her.

I am afraid.

Why? We will manage fine.

Congratulations, son. Briliant idea.

I thought it was my imagination.

But it's destiny.

And my other shoe?

We will find it.

But this is one hundred percent destiny!

Exactly.

I was looking for my other half.

Me too.

I looked and looked, and will find

her when I least expect it.

Me too.

Let's introduce ourselves. I am Grga.

Me too. I mean, I am

Afrodita Karambolo. Ladybird.

We must celebrate,

if you agree.

My sister...

- Quiet.

It's a misunderstanding.

Why do you shoot like that?

And you, girl, you are in trouble.

You will pay.

If the girl has any debts

I will pay them.

What are you looking at? Do something.

Grga.

Give me back my sister.

Stop or I will shoot you.

F*** off. Come here, sis.

What's wrong wih you, idiot?

And your grandfather? And your brother?

You were losing us.

Look what I have got.

Don't come any closer

or I will pump you full of lead!

I swear to God. This is serious.

Sister in law...

Who are they?
