Closer to the Moon Page #9
Why are you doing this to me?
- I'm sorry, I...
- Listen!
I'm in no hurry. I'll give you
the whole day to think about it.
But if you don't comply, you'll
be taken in for questioning..
...by other officers
with other methods.
You will end up giving the
address just to someone else.
And that would be
very sad for me.
Think of all the time and
effort, I've put in to this.
The young Bercovich
is a key element.
A secret I've told
to no one but you.
Why let any old fool take
the credit for all my work, mm?
Meanwhile, the sun won't wait.
Your assistant will
have to work the camera today.
And... action!
On with you.
Stop! Stop everything.
Get their guns.
Get their guns.
Give me the guns!
- Prisoners back in the van.
- Get away. Move!
Who's our man
in charge of this operation?
Lt. Col. Holban, sir.
Where is he? Find him!
Comrade Holban, sir! Wake up!
Find me somewhere quiet
we can talk.
Hey, you!
Get us some coffee!
Did I interrupt
your nap, comrade?
I beg your pardon.
The exhaustion..
As you're exhausted, we can
offer you an extended holiday!
There's no room in my Ministry
for exhaustion.
I suppose, you were asleep yesterday
as well, when a prisoner got away..
...with a gun in broad daylight!
I've got the report right here.
I've never known
anything like it.
Yes, sir, comrade, but we
have recaptured the fugitive.
After she strolled
around the city all night!
If you will allow me
to inform you of a new element
that has come to light
in the investigation...
What investigation! This case
has already been tried!
We're talking gross negligence
in the line of duty!
- Please, sir...
- Shut your fat-little-mouth.
I want to hear you shut up!
Where's the coffee?
Excuse me, sir,
I'm not actually a waiter.
What are you then?
I'm in charge of the camera.
So go and take
care of your camera.
Now, you pack your bags tonight.
You're exhausted.
So we're sending you off
to get some rest.
In a work camp.
In the mountains.
Lots of fresh air.
Prisoner Radoiu.
Get out.
I want you to know,
all of this was my idea.
What?
All of this.
The film. The shooting.
Well, good for you.
All that will be left of you..
...will be the image
of a traitor and criminal
captured by the men
in my command.
people will see this film and they'll say..
...it can't have been easy to
build socialism in the early days.
Luckily, there were men
like me around to do it.
How's Sonia?
- She's fine.
- Com-uh, Mr. Minister..
Oh. They've taught you
how to address me properly.
Well, a convict is
no comrade of mine.
I've got a proposition.
Concerns the entire group.
Instead of executing us
with bullets..
...why not send us into space
in a Soviet satellite?
Then we could be of use
to science. Everyone would win.
- Is this some kind of joke?
- No, no, no.
I'm deadly serious.
Why sacrifice dogs?
It would be much smarter
to send humans
because they can
send back observations
and records of everything
they see before they die.
Imagine. We could have a man in
space before the Americans!
Now you listen to me,
you miserable scum!
Anyone sent into space is
a hero of the people.
Dogs or no dogs!
Traitors and saboteurs
are not sent into space.
They are sent before
a firing squad
to pay for the bullets!
Now that's enough!
Back to the cells! The party's over!
Everyone back to their cells!
Since when has a prison
become a holiday camp?
You've got enough stuff
to finish the film!
That was fun.
"Dear Virgil..
"...now you know
where my child lives.
"He will be 13
on August, the 26th.
"In Jewish tradition, that's
the day of his Bar Mitzvah..
"..a ceremony at the synagogue
followed by a party.
"This is how young boys become
accepted as members of the community.
Come on, come on.
- Faster.
- Don't touch me.
to find someone trustworthy
"who could organize
this ceremony for Mirel.
"And I would be so happy if you could
do it. With Mr. Zilber's help.
"I'm asking you
to please help me.
"And I want you to know
that you gave me
the last beautiful night
of my life."
Fire!
Ready!
Aim!
Fire!
Ready!
Aim!
Fire!
Attention!
Ready!
Aim!
As for me,
things turned out differently.
At the last minute
my sentence was commuted
to life imprisonment.
few days before the execution
it came out that..
...I was pregnant.
You sigh the song begins
You speak and I hear violins
It's magic
And rush to nestle
in your eyes
It's magic
Without a golden wand
Or mystic charms
Fantastic things begin
When I am in your arms
When we walk hand in hand
The world becomes
a wonderland
It's magic
How else can I explain
Those raindrops
when there is no rain
It's magic
Why do I tell myself
These things that happen
Are all really true
When in my heart I know
The magic is my love for you
It's magic
It's magic
Without a golden wand
Or mystic charms
Fantastic things begin
When I am in your arms
Why do I tell myself
These things that happen
Are all really true
When in my heart I know
The magic is my love
For you
