We were sitting at the table

when the policeman came in.

"Have a lunch with us", we said.

He didn't want it.

Father offers him a glass of schnapps.

He smells it, and then

spills it on the floor.

"Your schnapps is no good", he says.

Then he shouts, "Get up!"

"Let us have our lunch first", father says.

"Get up immediately!"

The policeman starts to

torture my dad at the gate.

Father suffers and moans.

That was the first time

I saw my father crying.

Why did policeman beat up your father?

Because of the taxes?

- No.

He was young and practicing

his hand on my father.

How would you manage yourself alone?

Well, I'm not alone anymore.

Nada!

It's me, open up.

It's me, father Nikola.

Who is it?

- The priest.

What does he want?

To let know who died, I guess.

I know you're there, you rascal.

Did the priest give you this?

No. I bought it at the fair.

What did the priest give you?

Why would he give me anything

in the first place?

He used to come to your house.

- He had to.

To sanctify the water.

"To sanctify the water".

I ask, what did he buy for you?

I can tell you, but I

can not tell you either.

My wish.

You really want to know?

- Yeah.

He bought me a slip.

A pink one.

Now you know.

- Show me.

What?

- A slip.

Do you really have to see it?

- Yes.

Now you saw it.

Dress it up.

- Why?

Dress it up, I said!

A slip...

Look, Sava the photographer!

Done!

Split, now!

Not you, father Nikola.

Get back.

Get lost, you!

Why would God believe that

people should go to the schools?

A man of literacy with a rotten mind.

There you see. The teacher stands up

against God, and God is punishing us!

Take a bath, you fool.

You sweet teacher...

I'd chop your sweety head out.

Twist the necks of the literate,

chop our teacher's head out...

I'll make his tongue shorter.

He doesn't know what

is he saying anymore.

Teacher, I'm gonna chop

your head out these days!

Who are you looking for?

I came to ask you...

Is there a God?

You're in God's house, son.

I know where I am.

But I ask - is there a God?

God is watching us.

From above.

Does God see what you are doing?

God sees everything.

He's watching us even now.

Then, let him see.

No... It's a sin.

It's a sin.

Father Nikola...

You've got whacked, dirty dog!

Now it's Pantelija's turn!

Folks!

Over here, people!

Folks!

Father Nikola died!

Right there the dirty dog is lying!

Now I'm gonna marry you!

I'll baptize your children!

I'll do Masses for the dead!

ivota...

Where are you going?

To sleep.

Nada...

What do you think - is there a God?

I don't know.

ivota...

Do you wanna be my man?

Help!

Who's down there?

- Me, Dobrivoje!

The blacksmith?

- Get that rope!

Hold the rope, Dobrivoje!

Make it tight.

Man, he got weight!

He's full of water.

Be ready to hold him.

Who pushed you into the well?

God forbid!

Are you feeling hurt, Dobrivoje?

Nothing.

- Good.

How's that?

- Nothing, I swear.

How come nothing hurts you

after falling from such height?

Nothing, I tell you.

Neither my arm, nor my leg.

Neither neck.

- Wait, Dobrivoje!

What should I tell the major?

Who pushed you down?

Who pushed you?

- God.

A God's will.

Some voice called me at midnight.

A human voice?

- Sort of... But it wasn't.

The Devil himself called me.

The Devil showed up at midnight

and sat on my chest.

I was lying under sheets, like:

"No, you won't!"

But the Devil starts pulling me

harder than the buffalo.

I found myself in the well

in less than a minute.

In a split second,

some hands lift me up

and put me on the bottom of the well.

God forbid!

I couldn't feel anything at all!

Did you hurt yourself?

- No, I haven't.

I had an apparition of God, dear brothers!

God!

He said that he punished father Nikola

for riding a winged horse!

He deserved it, then!

Guess what else he said.

- What?

He said that you shouldn't listen

to the teacher because he's the Devil.

I knew it!

There he is.

Get the literate one!

Don't let him get away!

The literate one escaped,

that motherf***er!

For how long you will be alarming?

It's not me who alarms,

but the Devil.

I'll push the Devil out from you!

Whip him good!

Harder. Harder, I said!

I must go to Frenchie's.

Who?

- Frenchie.

What are you gonna do there?

- To buy what I need.

And a colored scarf.

What does the gentleman want?

Gimme a scarf.

Here you go.

- Five.

Five?

Here you go.

Scents.

- Excuse me?

Scents, too.

Untie him.

It's not my fault, Dobrivoje.

It was the major's order.

Come on, easy.

Go home.

Don't be mad at me.

Come on.

Good Lord!

Do you see what they do

with your Dobrivoje?

They killed Frenchie!

Major!

Major, where are you?

Come on out!

Silence!

You want more blood, do you?

Didn't you have enough?

Give me the horsewhip!

Quickly!

Bring me the horse!

Scumbags...

Good Lord... everybody ran away.

You don't have to do anything.

Just don't look that way.

Look, how?

As if you're about to

get up and leave any minute.

I have to.

Everything pressures me.

I can't breathe.

Nada, open up!

The major!

Mind what you talk.

I don't want anything to happen in your house.

God helps.

- God help you!

Why are you locking up

in the house by day?

I'm scared.

Is someone in your house?

- Who are you looking for, major?

The outlaw.

Come on in.

I have a nice quince jelly.

No, thanks. I'm on the horse.

Listen. The Obren's inmate,

a convict, escaped.

What about Obren?

- He's not.

Be careful. I'll go meet the police.

They're about to come.

If you spot someone, notify me.

Now you know who are they looking for.

I'll hide you, ivota.

I will hide you!

I forgot about that bastard!

What did you forget?

- I'll tell you.

The thing is checked, folks.

Our blacksmith killed himself.

Back off!

God has killed the blacksmith.

- What God? Come on!

The major sent the blacksmith to his death.

- That's right!

He's playing authorities!

I have to light a candle for

the peace of blacksmith's soul.

Where should I buy the candles

now when the church is closed down,

and the shop locked?

A village can't make

without a church and a shop.

Why? Are you feeling sorry

for the major?

I feel sorry for the man.

What's a man to be sorry for?

Ilija from Lapovo was a man, too.

But he threw his 9 year old son

into the well.

I had a hard time looking at him

whenever he stood near,

tempting me to strangle him!

Once I had the apparition

of boy in my dream.

He smiled, asked about his father.

What did you tell him?

I told him that his father is ok.

You won't find a human being

among thousand people.

I'll kill anyone who comes close to you.

I'll kill a half of village.

It shall be the way it was written:

A man and a woman.

I can't believe that you...

- Be free to believe!

Do not kill anymore!

- I'll kill anyone who touches you.

They will judge you!

They will judge...

There's no judgment for me anymore.

I was judged out long time ago.
