She can't just

attack the authorities.

I need to get my hair done.

I can't take your mother

to the clinic.

Not like this!

So I'll take her!

You?

- Where's her card?

- Find it yourself!

Come in, Martin!

Martin, my boy, how are you?

- And your mother?

- They kept her.

Crazy, all of them!

- Are you hungry?

- No, thanks.

I rescued him from the park.

Those bastards

won't spit on Tito anymore!

- Want a drink?

- No thanks.

They threw us out, Mr. Leon.

Yes, I heard.

How can they do that?

It's all due to that!

Torn down from the wrong side!

All of them jumping for joy...

No idea what's ahead!

We should have torn down the Wall.

Us Communists! Not them!

My dear Martin,

no good will come of this.

You're the former mayor, Leon.

Anything you can do?

If I get involved,

it will only make it worse.

No one cares

what I have to say anymore.

I get death threats by phone.

Me...

Me, Martin...

Me, who brought progress

to this backwater village.

I brought electricity

to every stable,

built a culturaI centre

and factories.

They're threatening to kill me,

those fascist pigs!

Have you seen yourfather?

No.

He's the best person

to help you with your mother.

If he tells that lunatic Ivanda

to let her go, he will.

Be nice to him.

You can spend the night here.

But you'll have to face him

sooner or later.

I should go, Mr. Leon.

Don't put things off in life.

We should have crushed the bastards

to avoid this.

Martin, we saw your new mother.

Congratulations!

Jerk!

Martin, wait!

Forget that a**hole.

How are you?

They let me go,

but they kept my mother.

They'II let her go by morning.

My parents fought about it.

What now?

I don't know.

Where to?

I don't know.

Sleep at my house.

Let's get a drink.

Don't be mad.

I just want to be alone.

Is it because of my father?

No. I swear.

I just want to be alone.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Ok?

Divko.

Martin, how's the antenna?

Good. But that's not why I'm here.

- What's wrong?

- They locked Ma up.

Who did?

Ivanda, the mayor.

My father is back from Germany.

He kicked us out of the house.

Don't worry. I'll sort this out.

Sergeant!

Prepare the patroI!

- Where is she?

- At the police station.

Go and wait for me.

We'll be right there.

Listen, Lucija...

I can release you

if you cut the crap.

The crap starts with you!

Be reasonable.

You lived there forfree

for 20 years.

Divko made no trouble.

Only because he was afraid

to come back!

All the rats are coming home

now that you're in power!

Lucija...

I'm trying to be nice.

Don't mess with me.

Looking for jaiI time, a triaI?

You attacked the police!

And why is he free?

He was wanted by the authorities.

Ask Leon, he knows.

I don't know what the authorities

or Leon did,

I just know they're gone

and they're not coming back.

You know only what suits you.

And this doesn't.

I'll get a lawyer.

Come here.

Come.

For Martin's sake, don't.

If we lock you up, he'll be alone.

That's what Divko wants.

Here...

Don't say

we don't take care of you.

Keys to a municipality flat.

Here.

Take them.

UntiI you get things straight.

Is everything okay?

Everything is fine.

- Do you need anything? A lift?

- No, thank you.

Stay out of this.

These are old, unsettled issues.

But thank you again

for looking after us.

Listen!

If you go anywhere

near Lucija or Martin again,

you'll have me to deaI with.

Are you threatening me?

Is that the way

of the People's Army?

Not the Yugoslav People's Army,

but I, Savo Radovic.

I don't give a f*** about you,

Savo Radovic.

I'm the boss here now.

CorporaI!

His time is up. I guarantee it.

Don't, Mom, please!

We'll get through this.

We just have to stick together.

F*** you all!

Hello.

Is Divko home?

I'm Azra.

You must be Martin.

I came to pick up

my mother's things.

Is that so?

Do your old man a favour.

Take these to the glass shop.

Get them fixed.

They broke last night.

The only shop is out of town,

by the river.

There neverwas one in town.

But I came for Mom's things.

Pivac!

- Help me out.

- With?

To carry these to the shop.

So you need company now?

Give me a break and help.

I hooked up with Nikolina last night.

We were alone at the boules field.

I grabbed her tits,

and she got all wet.

Then we went to Jozo's farm and...

Yeah, right, you grabbed her tits...

- What's that?

- What?

- That smell...

- What?

The scent of a virgin!

Piss off!

Hello.

Can you repair these?

I don't repair glass,

I replace it.

That's it.

Come back in half an hour.

One. Two. Three!

Where were you yesterday?

I went home.

I fell asleep by the radio.

I forgot to tell you!

I reached America last night!

Sure! And where did you wake up?

Would you give me a break, Pivac?

The antenna cable was disconnected.

I plugged it in:
America!

Now I'll kick your ass!

Martin Buntic,

the best CB in Herzegovina,

reaches America and beyond!

If I was afraid of mice,

I'd keep a cat as a bodyguard.

- Did you get the QSL response?

- Not yet.

When the actuaI card arrives,

you can show it off too!

What are you doing?

Dreaming about your new mother.

F*** off! Take a dip and cooI off!

The things I'd do to her...

Go on, a bit more.

If I screw your new mother,

will we be related?

Wait up, cousin!

Cousin, wait!

Here you go, boys.

Good as new.

I haven't got any money.

It's all paid for.

Your dad came by.

He paid and said you'd come.

Why didn't he bring them?

Your old man ain't normaI!

You still got your rocks off.

Here you go.

Two keys.

Good.

- Here.

- I have no change.

Have a drink on me.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Where is my key?

What for?

For the house.

When would you go out

without me?

I brought the windows.

Go install them.

Azra, set three plates.

It's good!

Sit down.

- I just want Mom's things.

- Sit down.

You got a girlfriend?

No.

What do you mean, no?

I just don't!

Why are you getting so upset?

I'm not upset.

Just don't ask me.

How old is he?

You like him?

Don't know.

There's no other cat like him.

When I found him,

he was a frozen flake.

And look at him now.

He's like a child.

There's no one I can talk to

like him.

Isn't that right, Bonny?

Divko, stop talking nonsense.

Martin...

I've come back.

I'm sure it was tough,

not having a father.

Savo and Leon

took good care of us.

Leon...

the former mayor?

- Who's this Savo?

- The army captain.

He got me into

the amateur radio club.

Blood isn't water.

All of this will be yours one day.

And if you want,

you can come live here.

This house is yours.

You don't have to decide right now.

Think about it.

I should go.

I said I wouldn't be long.

I just wanted to take some things.

Take or leave whatever you want.

It won't bother me.

What's all this?

I went to get your things.

Where did you go?

- To see him?

- To get our things.

Who told you to go there?

I don't want you near that house!

It's not ours anymore.

You mustn't see him!

Is that clear?
