What for?

I want to take a look around.

Around grandpa's place?

Are those things inside yours?

The tools?

They're mine.

What for?

What's with all the questions?

I want to open a shop.

Really? What kind?

A barber shop.

A car garage?

Need any help?

Why? Are you here to stay?

- Good day!

- Like hell.

Adam?

- Is that fancy ride yours?

- Yeah.

Glad to see you're doing well.

- I'm not sure if I am.

- Are you back for good?

No. I came to take my girl back.

To Holland.

Holland? My sons are there.

Maybe you saw them?

Holland is a big place.

What? Poland's a big country.

I'm going to grab a tree.

Go with God, Adam!

Watch out for the c*nts

guarding their trees.

Wouldn't you?

Me? Never!

Pawe!

Pawe!

Pawe!

- Are you deaf?

- Quiet!

Get one of these.

What's that for?

I've been gone a long time.

It's a keepsake.

You got homesick?

Sure.

For what? Our drunk grandpa?

Or our clogged toilet?

I missed you, little brother.

Go!

Christ! What the f***?

- F***! I dropped my ax.

- I had the camera running.

Guess this year we won't have a tree.

We can't let mom down.

- It got my leg!

- Are you okay?

Go home!

- No, I'll help you.

- Go home!

Go!

Ania, don't film that.

I'm capturing memories.

Get out of here.

Give me the stool.

- Go to the clinic.

- It'll heal up fine.

Why the clinic?

- You could get rabies.

- Out!

And you'll turn ugly.

Go.

They'll give you a shot or something.

- I need to do something first.

- What?

You'll do it later.

Give it here, mom.

- Where's Pawe?

- In the forest.

Did you make peace?

Sure.

More or less.

- The camera.

- I want to film.

Give it to me.

Darling, please...

- I was just looking for pants!

- Here.

- Thanks.

- They're your dad's.

Look at that! They're perfect.

Because you are alike.

- Adam.

- Yes?

- Which "Home Alone" is that?

- "Home Alone:
Your Ass"!

- Dipshit!

- You're the dipshit.

Hush, it's "Home Alone"!

Do we have internet?

Sure. She has WiFi in her brain.

- F*** you!

- Ania!

- I'll make a hotspot.

- Great! Thanks.

For 50 euros.

Just kidding.

What's your password?

- "Up yours, turd."

- That's really your password?

Do you need to have a talk with dad?

- Adam, can you help me?

- Sure, ma.

Auntie!

It's Christmas Eve.

We need help with dinner.

Adam, can you get

extra tables from the attic?

Jurek can't, his back hurts.

Sure, just a second.

"He gave his health

for the German wealth."

I wonder what you'll do with yours.

- Auntie!

- Mom!

"Home Alone" is on.

Is it more important than me?

Globally, yes.

Enough!

Everyone to the kitchen!

I wish Jolka were here.

I'm jealous.

Because of Marcin?

He's ugly, but he's nice.

What are you doing?

Writing Santa Claus.

What's that?

It's proof I was a good boy.

Here. Film something nice.

Darling, this is your first Christmas.

What?

Nothing!

They look good on you.

Keep them, they're too small for me.

Thanks.

What's on your mind?

- Nothing.

- I'm not blind.

- Don't be like your mom, start talking.

- It's about grandpa's house.

I said I'll help you.

I have a buyer, he's paying in euros.

What do you need euros for?

I want to start a business.

I don't want to work

for someone else my whole life.

You're a smart kid, son.

I'll help you any way I can.

I've hauled enough in my life,

but I can drive for you.

Listen...

Pawe can help you for now.

Then you'll hire Jolka's Marcin.

They need help, too.

I want to do business over there.

I know clients and suppliers.

I learned a lot over the years.

Poland's not good enough?

That's not the point.

I know the market over there.

They pay well, there's less competition.

They only want quality work.

And you taught me well.

So what, you want to move there?

For good?

Yes. For good.

What about us?

When I start making money,

I'll pay you back.

What do I tell Jolka, Pawe, and Gosia?

I'm doing it for them.

They'll understand.

Will they?

When you take their money

and leave the country?

- It's a loan.

- Stop it!

I'm wasting my life

going back and forth.

- Then come back.

- No.

Why?

- Why did you work abroad?

- The times were different.

Times are always shitty

for people like us.

So you'll drop everything and run away?

I won't be like you.

I want to be there for my kids.

- So, now I raised you wrong?

- No.

You never got the chance.

Convince Pawe and Jolka,

and the house is yours.

Let's bring this table down

before mom gets pissed.

Watch the walls.

I saw that!

Mom! Tell her to stop filming!

- Who gave you permission to film me?

- Adam.

Who's going to watch it?

Everyone's home is the same.

Wait!

Grab it from the bottom.

- Auntie?

- What?

- Wave at the camera.

- Stop it!

You took your time.

Dad, say something.

Hi, Zbyszek here.

Merry Christmas,

and all that good stuff.

- Who is this for?

- For Adam.

Can you help, Jurek?

I got it, Adam.

The bathroom's free, Gosia!

Help me with this, Adam.

Give me that towel.

Put it here.

- Jolka's not coming to help?

- No.

Why not?

She's spending Christmas with Marcin.

I have to do everything myself.

I told you to take the other one.

Pawe, you're going to make a mess!

Take the tree, Adam.

And you, bring a bucket of soil.

Why do we have such an ugly tree?

You brought the runt of the litter.

I'll do it.

Big one.

You all right?

- Give me that!

- I'm good.

Give it to me!

I still have one good leg.

The ground's frozen.

I'm leaving for good.

I heard.

- I want to start my own business.

- How?

I'll sell grandpa's house.

I spoke with dad.

I just need to convince you and Jolka.

When it gets off the ground,

I'll pay you back.

And if I say no?

Why would you?

Are you asking me?

What's your problem?

Nothing.

You know it all.

Even our answers.

Does Asia know?

- I'll tell her later.

- Sure.

Don't tell me

- how to talk to my girl.

- Wave at the camera!

Darling, get inside, it's cold.

- Go film grandpa!

- At your own risk!

So what's it gonna be?

- Do what you want.

- Will you come and help me?

Come on.

- I can't do this alone.

- You'll have to.

Are you coming?

Why?

We should talk in person.

No, you come here.

Come, we'll talk face to face.

Please, this is the last chance.

I'll be in Holland next Christmas.

That'll be the best gift.

- What are you doing here, grandpa?

- Nothing.

- Just sitting here.

- In the car?

I wanted to have

a nice Christmas for once.

Just don't drive off!

- Sorry!

- Christ, you scared me!

I want to talk about Pawe.

- Shoot.

- What's going on?

Why?

I don't know.

You're here, so you must talk.

He's not around much.

Let me show you something.

I'm a farmer, too.

Runs in the family.

- Are you f***ing stupid?

- What's your problem?

- You want to end up in jail?

- Easy.

The farm uses a lot of power.

This won't draw any attention.

If anyone's going to jail, it's grandpa.

And he deserves it.

Want some?

You'd do well in Holland.

- Did you talk to Adam?

- I did.

- Did you make peace?
