Also the food, and the...
Can you live only on air?
Ambition, too.
Oh dear, you're ill,
you don't have any ambition left.
You need ambition, passion
and love for every being.
Almost 80.000 people from the Neamt county
are under the risk of getting diabetes.
That's because of the good living.
A long time ago, when we were eating
polenta with cranberries,
there was no chance of getting diabetes.
- You ate something like that?
- Yes, I did, when they stole our supplies.
We were stuck with no food, in the woods,
during the famine.
We had no food so, to be able to work,
we had to eat polenta with cranberries.
- But didn't they steal your polenta, too?
- Only half they stole, and half they left behind.
They didn't take it all.
They were nice thieves.
They said to themselves:
"We should leave some for them to work, so
we have what to steal next week as well."
And, did they come back the week after?
Well, I don't know, I was lucky:
By then, they enlisted me in the army.
And in the army we had food,
even during the famine.
Holy Emperors Constantine and Helen.
Today the Orthodox
celebrate the Holy Emperors...
- Oh, they have celebrated it quite a while ago.
- Not today. Back then.
The Christian Holiday is represented
by the Holy Emperors Constantine and Helen
St. Constantine was
the 32nd emperor of the Roman Empire,
after August... August...
- Augustus...
- Yes, August.
His whole life was a struggle...
to free the Christian Church
from pagan oppression.
He and his mother. But she was a pagan.
Elena, just for you,
I drink all day & night.
Ease the fire of my heart.
Morning comes, Elena,
And I'm daydreaming of you.
Girls are pointing at me,
Elena... my dear Elena,
If I could have you one more time,
I would show you what my love means...
Elena... my dear Elena,
If I could have you one more time,
I would show you what my love means...
The hell I can show, at my age...
what love means...
But love... Love is to love someone,
to respect her,
To get along well...
That's what love is.
Elena... my dear Elena,
If I could have you one more time...
Oh dear, my dear!
Autumn
May he forever rest in peace...
- We pray for his soul.
- May he rest in peace.
Didn't Mrs. Elena come? Your wife?
No, she can't walk this far.
She can't.
If it wasn't for our neighbor Gica,
she could've been dead in ten minutes.
Really? When?
This autumn.
May he be forgiven,
by God and by all of us.
It's a big pain... a hard moment...
To lose a parent...
But... The hardest thing of all is
to lose a son, like we did...
God forbid!...
This is how slow the cortege went...
- Why was that?
- That's how the hearse was going.
It was their car, they
organised everything.
And we walked like this,
so we got to church at around 12... thirty.
It was a long walk.
Then, the service started.
Have a seat and talk.
With all those priests.
Five priests!
They sang so beautifully...
Oh, nice.
Then they followed the custom
in detail, all of them.
This must be Ana.
Then...
Hello? Yes...
How long has it been since I've used you?
The great-granddaughter needs you now.
How lovely was it when I was
swinging her mother in it...
Here!
- Let it go!
- You great-grandfather!
Come on, be careful. Hold it!
...And he takes out two glasses of wine...
One for Sadoveanu... one for himself...
And they say "Cheers"...
He was thirsty as he came from a long road...
Hey, don't put it on the cat!
- He took the glass to his mouth...
And he drank...
No, leave it, I'll wipe it a little.
It's dusty.
And they drank, my dear, they drank...
When he saw that, he said:
"He's a big drunk, like I am"...
Oh, my dear!
This is how I used to
swing my grandchildren...
My great-grandchildren...
And now this new great-granddaughter.
Well...
It's fine like this...
It's good like this.
It's good like this. Hard as it is.
This is Pandora's box!
One can't open it, one can't close it.
How come? Don't force it, you'll spoil it!
No, no... But what's here?
- What was in here?
- Who knows?
Bottles...
That's good for eggs.
- You can put eggs in each compartment...
- Yes.
And you send it to Bucharest for Andrei.
- And you think the eggs won't break?
- They won't...
You wrap them up.
I won't even open it.
I'll leave it like this.
- Where did we get this?
- Must be from Nina.
- No, no...
No, I think it's one of Florin's.
With ice cream or something...
Let me clean it.
Put it on that bed outside.
The dog is barking
I think our dear children are coming!
The baby!!! Granny's baby came!!!
Good evening!
Welcome...
- Is she sleeping? Are you sleeping, baby?
- Yes, she's sleeping.
Let me hold her!
Look, the kitten...
- Look who came over for a visit!
- Hello, grandpa!
Welcome!
But where is Ioana?
She has a piano lesson...
Preparing a recital.
Hello!
Shut the door.
- It started to grow...
- Yes, I'm growing a beard.
- Oh, my baby doll!
- Hello, great-grandmother.
Put the traditional rock in her mouth...
She's for the first time at her granny's!
Oh... Touch wood!
Look, look, great-grandfather!
Look at this miracle!
She's looking at me, little angel!
When will you start calling me "granny"?
When?
Aww...
We bore her with these things...
Look, sweetie, the woodbed
that mom slept in.
Yes, yes.
This is all granny has left.
Let's put it here, for good luck!
Here we go...
Don't cry... don't cry... don't cry...
Lullaby, lullaby...
Go to sleep...
Granny's sweetie pie.
I gave her something for good luck.
God bless you!
I would have given more, but the mailman
didn't bring our pension this month.
No need for money. We need you to be
healthy and make the dowry for our girl.
Yes.
- We want a dowry... a carpet.
- God help me... live.
Actually, I do have a little rug for her.
Is mom getting you married?
Which one do you find prettier?
Look!
Look how nice they are!
When have you made them? Now?
- I made some more... If I had to give those then...
- I like this blue shade.
Yes.
Can I let her pick?
Which one do you want, princess?
- I really like this blue one.
- Whichever you want!
- Let her play with it.
- Let's stand up and play on it, baby!
When she'll grow up a little.
Did you know that Ioana
used to kneel on one of these and pray?
- Thank you so much!
- My pleasure!...
- And God help you be healthy and make a dowry.
- God help us.
- Is she sleeping?
- Eating and sleeping. What else can she do?
She's so beautiful...
- How are your hands?
- Better, now.
Really? They don't look better.
If I just loiter, I feel the pain.
But usually I have a lot to do,
I move my hands all the time
and don't feel any pain.
- Don't you miss the doctor?
- I don't miss anyone.
- But I must say he did me good.
- He did...
