It's okay, I'll teach you.

You're asking me if I can drive?

I mean... are you qualified?

It's a foreign car after all.

What?

The gears are different.

Can anyone here drive this car?

Since you know a lot about foreign

cars and their bloody gears?

I can't...

And since this is Don Pedro's car...

and he doesn't know how to drive,

so who's left?

Huh, madam?

I don't trust this hooligan's driving.

Everything should be alright.

God mess.

Okay Ferdinand...

Thank you.

Ferdie, we really don't need

to make this small talk.

Sorry.

There's something strange on your face.

No...

I mean.

Why are you speaking now?

Hey Ferdie, open the bottle.

He couldn't even get water?

Couldn't even do this much?

I keep doing work for

others all the time...

but no one cares.

I'm thirsty, one second.

Yuck!

What is this?

What are you doing?

What?

What am I doing?

What am I doing?

Yes, what are you doing?

How much longer will I have to wait,

god dammit?

What are you saying?

So tell me, Ferdie, how come no

Mrs. Ferdie all these years?

Oh...

Just like that.

There was no one else...

after Fanny.

She is for real, right?

Romeo without a Juliet.

Sorry.

I want to put this cat inside.

Wipe your face.

He looks alive, doesn't he?

What?

Does anyone want to tell

Mai what just happened?

Exactly.

So we'll stop somewhere on the way

and say a prayer for Nereus.

You mean, she'll wake up and see...

that Nereus passed

away in his sleep?

Yeah.

See... see.

Fanny's house.

Happy?

Come.

This house is bigger than your palace.

Pretty, no?

Pretty, like my Fanny.

This is it, sir.

It's your show from now.

Come on,

you Romeo.

No more thinking.

Make or break.

Ferdie.

Hey...

Go get him.

Get him.

Ferdie. Ferdie.

Ferdie,

wait up.

Ferdie.

Ferdie, wait. Wait.

What if...

What if she doesn't recognize me?

Mad or what?

Who would forget

a personality like yours?

Yes, I haven't changed much.

I'm the same.

- Yes.

So there's nothing to worry about.

Yeah. Show her your romantic side.

There are thorns everywhere.

Show. Show.

Ferdie.

Hold this.

Stupid.

You shou | d've got some other flowers.

Why did you pluck roses?

- Savio said.

I look alright?

Excuse me,

sir.

We're looking for Stefanie Fernandes.

Of course, you are.

She's waiting for you.

You must come in, please.

Come,

come.

Welcome to my home!

She married a foreigner? - No.

He's a bloody hippie.

Russian. I'll handle it.

What is he talking?

What do you want my friend?

An umbrella would be nice,

but we're looking for...

What's her name?

- Stefanie Fernandes.

This is her husband,

he wants to tell her that.

Not like that.

This morning, Stefanie Fernandes...

runs away with my umbrella.

With your umbrella?

This morning?

You must all sit.

I come back.

Any pictures of Fanny?

I can't really tell.

My name is Vladimir llyanova.

But you can call me Vladimir llyanova.

Both.

Hey you?

Why you have brought

yellow flowers to my house.

Don't you know it's bad luck?

They are for Fanny.

What is funny?

Fanny.

- This is not funny.

Stefanie Fernandes, remember?

Sir, Stefanie Fernandes your wife?

My wife...

My wife is in Russia, long dead.

And my mother...

Can I offer...

Why are you doing this to me?

Please take them outside.

Excuse me.

This man has come looking

for Stefanie Fernandes.

You know her, right?

Vladimir?

Vladamir.

My mother named me Vladimir. - Sir.

You bought this house

from Stefanie Fernandes?

20 more years ago.

Wonderful lady.

She moved to Tivoli...

that is few hours on

the other side from here.

The government made a lot of problems.

"about selling to a foreigner.

But... I had married an Indian.

So... I got lucky.

Lovely lady Stefanie Fernandes.

Just star-t the car when I tell you.

Savio.

- Yes.

Thanks.

For what?

I love her.

I really love her.

Hey, Savio.

Tell you a secret?

Yeah...

You know Albert and

I were shippies together.

Rosa | ina's husband, Albert.

I heard.

We sailed together that last time...

just before he never came back.

So you were on the ship when he died.

He didn't die.

He did not die.

- What?

Just never came back.

Just wrote her a letter saying

he's never coming back.

Gave me to give her.

But... wasn't there a big memorial?

Rosalina, the pregnant widow...

Husband buried at sea.

He found a girl in Madagascar.

Jumped ship, disappeared.

What I mean is why tell such a big lie?

Of course.

Pride.

Her bloody pride.

That's why she hates me, you know.

Because I am the only one who knows.

Apart from her and Albert.

Now you know.

That explains her bitterness.

Promise you won't tell her.

Then why you told me?

Be nice to her.

Sometimes.

Sometimes.

When I was small,

I used to be an angel...

in feasts.

Do you want to hear a song?

Okay then.

Either this car doesn't use petrol...

or we need to get some

when we get to Tivoli.

You want to hear some songs

I wrote about Fanny?

No Ferdie, I would like to know

where that right turn is.

It'll come.

It'll come on the right.

Oh my little p*ssy.

P*ssy.

P*ssy.

P*ssy.

P*ssy.

P*ssy.

You're such an animal lover, Pedro.

Madame.

I've never loved an

animal as much as this...

lively little fellow.

Give him to me,

must be hungry.

No, no, no.

I assure you that he's quite stuffed.

Come, my little baby.

Come, come, come.

That's it. On the right.

Stop. Stop the car.

Stop the car.

- Why?

Stop the car.

Hello, everyone.

I just want you to say.

I could not have done

this without you all.

What man, now you're

giving a speech or what?

My Fanny's village is just up ahead.

I hope my hear-t doesn't

burst with happiness.

When I meet Fanny...

I'll talk to her only with my eyes.

Might be a blessing.

Why don't you do the same for us,

you idiot?

Talk with your eyes only.

Anyway...

you all made it possible.

Especially you, Angie.

My hear-t was like a bird...

that could not fly.

It would never be able to fly...

if it wasn't for you.

Thank you, Ferdinand.

Fernando.

Fernando.

Fanny always used to call me Fernando.

Not a bad speech.

You should have one ready

for Fanny if you see her.

Everybody ready?

Everyone ready?

Start the car. Start the car.

Everyone ready?

Faster.

Faster.

Faster.

Faster.

Give me the map.

Why?

You idiot, we're in bloody Karnataka.

Means what?

Means we've crossed into another state.

What state?

A bloody mental state.

He's shouting.

Mad he's become or what?

And you...

please explain.

When did I say I can read a map!

The days in which I had to fall in love.

I spent all those days

writing letters to you.

O Fanny Re...

O Fanny Re...

All the happiness's of my life.

Got killed as I was lost in the

thoughts of Your whereabouts.

O Fanny Re...

O Fanny Re...

O my beloved!

O Fanny Re...

O Fanny Re...

Now... now what?

We've run out of petrol.

O Fanny Re...

Savvy...
