- We did.

Hold it.

Answer it.

Hello? Hi, honey.

What?

I know, but I'm still on the road.

I'll be there soon.

How did you know?

I'll be right there.

He's so cold, but she's running hot.

Grandpa's wasted.

Did anyone call Asia?

- Your Asia?

- Of course.

Who called Asia?

It's crooked.

I called her.

To wish her Merry Christmas.

She's family now.

Why'd you tell her I'm here?

She didn't know it was a f***ing secret.

Boys! Be nice.

Move, I can't see if it's level.

No surprise there,

your whole life wasn't level.

Kasia, I need your help!

- What do you think?

- Looks good.

- This camera is so small!

- Yeah, grandpa.

I can't see anything.

But the camera can.

Go help mom. Hurry!

- Wave at the camera.

- Get away from me, Henryk!

PLEASE PICK UP. I'M SORRY.

HAD TO TAKE CARE OF SOMETHING.

Adam!

Look!

Your dad brought this from Germany.

And your uncle Jurek bought this.

Where'd you get this? Belgium?

Zbyszek bought that too, you old fool.

What kind of presents will you bring us?

- What?

- What will you bring back to Poland?

- Did you behave?

- I was the only who did!

Asia, hang on, I have to go outside.

Dad!

Sorry, I had to take care of something.

I know, but I have a surprise for you.

Let me just...

F***ing hell!

- Sweetie, go film grandpa.

- Grandpa's drunk.

- Do you have a charger?

- Ania does.

Dad isn't in the photos.

Dad's a vampire.

They don't show up in pictures.

I'm joking. He was away, working.

All the time?

No, but he was gone

when we took photos.

So he was gone all the time.

Do a close up.

I meant me, not the Pope!

I wanted to see if you look alike.

And?

The Pope looks like grandma.

Come, we're starting with the prayer!

Move, or Santa won't bring anything.

Did you know

the Pope looks like grandma?

- He looks like both of you.

- That's great!

No sh*t...

- Where's the hay?

- Here.

Put it out.

Sit next to grandpa.

Here. Let's wait for the others.

I'm done waiting.

- It's past six.

- It's past six?

It's five!

Grandpa didn't set his watch back.

What's the point

if I have to reset it later?

Every six months, dummy.

Ania, charge my phone.

- For 50 euros.

- In your dreams.

- Let's wait.

- Enough waiting!

Get up, everyone.

First the Bible, then Christmas wafers.

Let's do the wafers now,

since we're all standing.

- Henryk!

- What?

Okay, dad, we'll come to you.

Get off the couch!

- Pawe!

- I'm here.

- Read.

- Why are you two sitting so far apart?

Maybe we should have a drink?

- Jurek, can you shut up?

- What did I say?

Jesus liked his wine,

and it is his birthday.

Give it a rest, Jurek.

Read.

Wait!

In the name of the Father,

the Son, and the Holy Spirit...

"Caesar Augustus decreed a census

of the entire Roman world.

It was the first census taken

when Quirinius was governor of Syria.

Everyone..."

"Everyone went

to their own town to register.

Joseph from Nazareth in Galilee

went to Bethlehem, the town of David..."

Don't rush it, Gosia.

"...He went to register with Mary,

who was pledged to marry him

and was with child..."

- Turn it off.

- It's not mine.

Turn off your phones!

"The time came for the baby to be born.

She gave birth to a son

and put him in a manger..."

- Amen!

- But there's still...

I'm going to play a carol.

That's great! What a surprise!

- Can you get up, please?

- Sure thing.

Mom, don't get up.

Auntie, move over a little.

- Where the hell is it?

- Dad!

Take that son of a b*tch out!

- Will you shut up, dad?

- Calm down.

Come here!

Let's just have a nice time!

Go, run!

Hey there, brother.

Come here, darling!

Get the juice from the trunk!

- And the cook books for gifts.

- That's it?

- Watch the tone.

- I'll help you!

- He'll make two trips.

- Two trips are for fags.

- How's everything?

- Grandpa's drunk like a skunk.

So the usual.

- And dad?

- He looks good.

That's good.

He's two months sober.

What didn't you want

to say over the phone?

Let's go inside.

We'll eat, drink, and talk.

- Just protect me from dad.

- I'm ready to spill blood.

Let's spill something else.

- Praised be Jesus Christ!

- Jolka is here!

We brought presents!

That's how you dress on Christmas?

- Hi, mom.

- Finally! Why so late?

Need any help?

Take the wafers.

Gather round, everyone!

We're sharing wafers!

- Where's my godson going?

- To you.

All the best, Adam.

- All the best, Auntie.

- Merry Christmas.

Get over here!

Time for the wishes.

I wish you...

- What do want in life?

- What do you want?

I'd like a drink.

May you have your drink

and be in good health.

That's the same thing.

Come to my room in a bit.

Wait...

Daddy, may you be happy,

healthy, and prosperous.

I wish you good marks in school,

and may we always love each other.

- I wanted to share my wafer with you.

- Christ, it's you.

I'll be right with you.

Just need to save Christmas.

Grandpa's had enough.

I want a normal Christmas.

Mom.

May you be healthy, above all.

And may you hold your own

in this mad house.

I don't know what else you want.

That you and Pawe

act like brothers again.

We made peace.

Anyway, it doesn't concern you.

Who does it concern, then?

Who worries about you more than me?

All I ever had in life were my kids.

Understood?

Understood?

I know it wasn't ideal.

Your father was always gone.

But I tried.

Being apart ruined our lives.

It'll ruin yours, too.

I'm not like you two.

- Meaning?

- I'm leaving.

- What?

- I'm leaving for good.

Where to?

Holland. I'm taking Asia with me.

I want a life there.

Come.

The dinner's waiting.

Barbara! It's amazing!

It's really good.

I'm so glad, thank you. Eat up!

You're not eating, Adam?

I've eaten already enough for a month.

He's skinny, like Jacek.

Really! They both are!

And your stomach keeps growing.

I need a solid roof over my best tool!

What does that mean?

It means your uncle is very...

Less talking, more eating!

- Exactly. You need to try every dish.

- Is salt also a dish?

- Why?

- If so, I've tried twenty dishes.

- Bread, salt...

- Stop that chatter.

Without your mother,

that's all we'd have.

Bread is also a Lent dish!

You're smart enough

to run for president.

Kasia! What are you doing?

I even have a good slogan.

"Family first!"

- I'd vote for you.

- Thanks.

Then I'd be the First Lady!

- Why didn't you bring Asia over?

- She felt ill.

On Christmas Eve?

Does everyone

have to feel good on Christmas?

- And she's just home alone?

- Yeah.

Who knows, maybe she isn't.

You're here, uncle,

so I have nothing to worry about.

Who made this dish?

Teresa and I.

Where are you going?

Zbyszek, take that camera.

Eat, Kasia!

Jurek better not say anything!

I'll just say, I like too much pepper!

How's everything?

I'm the one asking.

I was first.

The glamorous life of a cashier.

Wouldn't you like to quit?

And do what?

My options are waitress,

baby sitter, or selling clothes.

- You have an MA.

- So do you.

You know the one about a woman
