Oh, them. Yes.

I'll go mad from this heat.

Is it always this hot?

- Sometimes it's worse.

- So what do you do?

We stay in

orwe go down to the river.

Swim in the river?

Sure! I'll show you some day.

Some day? Why not now?

It's pretty far.

What about the bicycle?

Fartin' Martin!

Piss off, Pivac.

She's less of a pain than I am!

Give me a break!

She wanted to cooI off.

I'm not swimming.

- She does look hot!

- Stop it!

You don't think so?

Wouldn't you bang her?

She's my old man's wife!

Even better.

She'll trust a relative.

Don't talk like that.

You gonna stop me?

Shut up! You're pissing me off!

- Am I?

- You are!

- F*** your stepmother.

- Enough!

You're jealous because of the radio!

- F*** her!

- Stop it, she'll hear you.

F*** your stepmother!

Knock him out, Pivac!

Give it to him!

Smash his face!

Enough both of you!

It's alright.

Wait.

What happened?

Nothing. I dived and hit a rock.

Didn't I tell you not to dive?

- Please give me a break, Ma.

- Wait.

Look.

WonderfuI!

A shame we didn't

move in here sooner.

What are you doing?

No one will make fun of me

anymore.

No one.

Now Divko

is going to have some fun.

Have some fun...

You'd better not be spitefuI.

You only get sh*t out of spite.

Just mind your own business

and serve me.

Antisa!

That did it!

No one's indifferent

to Deutsche Marks.

I'm finally going to sleep

like a man.

And the divorce papers?

What?

The divorce, Divko.

Isn't that why we came back here?

Do you really think

I can deaI with that now?

We'll sort it out

once we've found Bonny.

Here he is, Divko.

Last night,

we were by the partisan cemetery

when I saw something move.

That's not Bonny.

It's your Bonny, Divko.

He's just gone a bit wild.

That's not my Bonny.

What do you mean?

What colour is my Bonny?

- Black.

- And this one?

Here.

No need, Divko...

Take it. For your effort.

Thank you, Divko.

Where are you going?

To look for Bonny.

Shall we have breakfast?

You've already had yours.

Savo?

What brings you here?

- Is Martin home?

- No idea where he is.

Since that damn cat disappeared...

I'd invite you in,

but I'm late.

Tell him to stay away

from the barracks.

Things are heating up in Croatia.

We're on the highest alert.

Listen, I've been thinking

about leaving for Germany.

I've got a cousin there,

he would help out.

So if you and Martin...

You know he's like a son to me...

Better get him out of here.

Are you serious?

I couldn't leave everything.

Just think about it, Lucija.

You know that I...

respect you.

Things don't look good.

That's all.

- I sold him the shop.

- What?

He offered me good money,

twice what it's worth.

I'm off to Belgrade with my wife.

My mother's not well...

He promised to keep

both you and Milena.

Are you alright?

I looked for you in town...

Is it cold?

Are you angry with me?

Bonny! Here, Kitty, Kitty...

Go to hell, all of you!

That piece of sh*t

is making fools out of you!

Where were you all day long?

Around...

I went to see Mr. Savo.

Who?

Mr. Savo, at the barracks.

- And what's up with him?

- Nothing much.

- Why are you Iying to me?

- Who's Iying?

You are Iying!

I'm not...

Savo was here today,

looking for you.

You were out

looking for that cat, eh?

Shame on you.

Did you see him again?

Did he offer you money?

I've had enough of this!

That's between you two!

Kill him if you want.

I don't give a sh*t!

Just leave me alone!

Savo says there's going to be a war.

He wants to go to Germany,

and he wants us to go with him.

Germany!

What would we do over there?

What if there is a war?

What if you're drafted?

There's shooting going on

in Croatia.

Germany...

I don't know.

The wages are good over there,

you could go to the university.

Study engineering.

I don't know.

What about you?

I don't know.

How would I know?

Here he is, Divko!

We were out in the field...

It's 7 o'clock!

I know, but I couldn't hold him

any longer.

He scratched me!

And I was sure

you'd be so glad to see him.

I'd be glad

if you brought me Bonny

and not these mangy cats,

every morning.

This isn't him either?

- Is Bonny a tomcat?

- Yes.

And this one?

She looks just like Bonny.

Bili,

if you come again before 10 o'clock,

there'll be hell to pay!

Sorry, Divko. Thanks!

Him again?

Idiot.

I've had it.

Look at me, all scratched up.

I'm not looking for that cat anymore.

If this is what life is like here,

I'm going back to Germany.

Go get dressed.

What for?

I'm taking you somewhere.

What are you doing?

Where are you taking me?

You'll see.

Don't peek.

I can't see. I'll fall!

What's this?

This is yours.

What's mine?

It says right there: Hair Salon.

What am I supposed to do with it?

Well, you'll be the boss.

The best place to meet people.

You've gone mad since we came here!

I'm looking for Bonny.

Anything's better than this!

Martin!

Is everything okay?

Are you angry at me or something?

No.

Yourfather has gone insane

since he got back here.

Do you take after him?

Are you as nuts as he is?

Is there a disco around here?

Where do people go out?

No disco...

There used to be dancing

at the culturaI centre.

But all they have now

is folk dances.

I've had enough of folk music.

That's all Divko listens to!

What do you listen to?

Do you have any tapes?

I've got EKV, Azra...

Azra again!

Sing something...

And what do I do,

When my friends leave,

When the girl I...

- You know it?

- Never heard it.

I'll make you a tape.

It's so hot!

Shall we go for a swim?

Martin!

Where have you been?

Divko.

The Serbs are bombing Dubrovnik.

What will they do next?

Blow up the Old Bridge in Mostar?

Good kid, eh?

It would be nice

if he came to live with us.

I feeI a bit guilty

for not being around.

It's tough growing up

without a father.

It may be better

than having one like mine.

- Come, let's go back to the salon.

- Please, I want to talk.

Come on, you didn't take

a good look at it.

You'II like it, I swear.

Look how nice it is.

We'll change the colours,

the chairs, have equipment

shipped from Germany.

There won't be

another shop like this one.

Where did you get this idea?

I've got a nose for these things.

I'll go get some wine to celebrate.

We'll treat ourfirst customers.

Sit. I'll be right back...

What?

Why did you bring me here?

For a normaI life

or to settle old scores?

You don't know anything.

How could I with your silence?

You've changed since we got here.

Well, this is the reaI me.

Let's go back to Germany.

We don't need a marriage.

My folks will never accept me

anyway.

It's just a piece of paper.

Let's leave this place.

Do you really think

I'd go back there?

I've been waiting years

to come back here!

You want me to leave?

You really don't care what I want?

What's going on?

You haven't touched me

since we got here!

Stop shrieking.

You didn't even get

the divorce papers.

What am I to you?

Just some trophy you can show off?
