H-8... Page #6

Synopsis: A bus and a truck are moving towards each other along a two-way traffic highway on a rainy day. At the very beginning we learn that a reckless driver of another car will cause them to collide while trying to pass the bus; we even learn what seats will spell doom for their occupants. The rest of the movie follows two streams of events on the bus and on the truck, getting us to know and like a wide variety of characters, wondering which ones will end up being casualties and holding breath for our favourites. The epilogue brings some more surprises...

Vesna Yakupets.

Well, what should we do with it?

This is really a problem.

I don't know.

She has a bad memory.

She learns and teaches all day, but

she does not remember anything.

I send it to the store, and

she forgets what to buy.

I want her to play

with other children,

and she stands alone and is

afraid to approach them.

But if I loupe it,

then we both cry.

And you never thought

that without us

would be better?

Do not say that.

And I have a daughter - the same as you.

My elder.

And I also have two boys -

real robbers.

When I return home, I always

think:
Is everything in place?

You should have seen what they do.

Everything is broken.

"Are not they afraid?"

No, I do not let them be afraid.

One day they dismantled the sewing

machine on my mother's part.

And that, it was necessary to hatch them!

If they had not dismantled it, they

would never have learned to repair it.

Sometimes they get it, but then

we still all play together.

Are you playing with them?

And I also help them

to do their homework.

Especially the one who is older.

He is ready for anything,

just not to read.

I wish I had a brother or sister...

I would... give everything for it...

"I do not even want to hear about it."

You are crazy.

You will have a waybill

for loading - that's all.

"And you're beyond suspicion."

And for what will they pay me so much?

To keep your mouth shut, you understand?

We will pay you so that

you do not ask questions.

To not ask what you're driving

and where you're taking it.

I do not need it. I'm already

satisfied with everything.

May be...

Maybe... You do not like it...

Well, of course!

You were an exemplary prisoner!

You even shook hands with us!

Presented three

suits, furniture!

They gave you a refrigerator?

"The mole did eat all your stuff while

you were sitting there." "Shut up!"

Will you...

you will be our driver.

You will see.

I'm telling you this.

- What is it?

- What?

This is Tihomir.

He was presented to me on

the birthday of my tomboy.

They called him Tikhomir, and

since then he's always with me.

Those who touch it,

it brings good luck.

Try it! Make a wish, touch it -

and everything will come true!

- True?

- Of course, come on!

But, of course, not right now!

Still, he is not so omnipotent.

"And I will not have any more blood

coming from my nose?" - Will not be.

But you do not have

to quit right now.

I'll tell you when.

And if someone will report to me...

"You'll be beyond suspicion."

"You yourself will suspect me."

"We know that you are our man."

"The police will be interested in me."

"But they can not prove anything."

Without a house, the house will not

last long. "It does not concern you."

The house may even collapse.

"Yours, or what?"

People can die.

"No one will suspect you!"

What's the matter? - Get out! "But there's

nothing around here for a few kilometers!"

This is not my trouble! Get out!

"Let me explain..." "There!"

What I've done?

Please! Look, what a rain!

Do not leave me!

Well, enough!

Dad... Dad, let him in!

Let him in.

Do not you feel sorry for him?

What are you doing?

"They do not need me anymore."

You will publish them.

This will cause a sensation.

This is of no interest to anyone.

This will only cause laughter.

I'm interested. Have I

ever laughed at you?

You just agree to me.

"Yes, Nicola...

You're right, Nikola."

- I believe in you.

- I know... You believe.

You are kind and caring.

I thought about it. As long as

you're with me, I'm not old.

It's good to have two

old people together.

People like it,

everyone respects them.

But a lonely old man

is always superfluous.

Without you, I would turn

into a grumpy old man.

And what kind of life

would it be without you?

Read to me. Read what you wrote.

"What a bore... I'm always bored!"

It can be fixed! And how?

"Read it!" - What to read? For

stupid books, I'm too smart,

but for the smart - too stupid.

Travel!

Yes I love to travel.

"But I only have luggage..."

Replace the luggage! I'm near!

Dear... Why are you silent...

- I think.

- About what?

Honey, if you need my life -

I will give it to you with joy.

If you need my blood, you can

take it all to the last drop.

But my thoughts are just mine.

I do not need witnesses

to murders, crimes...

"and the robberies that are happening

in my head." "I like listening to you."

Well, I can read you the news.

"Are you interested?" "Another

uncertainty." What is it about?

- "Soccer coach..."

- No.

I have not been to Scandinavia

or Eastern Europe...

And I was nowhere

further than Gospic,

Slavonski Broda and Varazdin.

"But you're a journalist!"

And journalists are different.

Here is my colleague

who sits in front...

He has a great future. Perhaps

he will even work abroad.

Then how do I...

I'm drinking reportages

from vegetable markets...

I'm writing in the column...

"From the courtroom"...

But something interesting for you!

"Out of the courtroom!" Listen!

"Scandal in a children's hospital."

- "Who will answer for the death

of four children." - Yes?

"Fatal staff error".

"The rumors found

confirmation in the court."

"Hearings on the case of the

death of four young patients."

"Four children, who had B blood,

transfused the blood of group A."

"The blood transfusion

turned out to be fatal."

Come on, go sit in front,

next to that girl.

"We can tell the names of the

people who participated in this..."

The staff bites their nails!

"Accused:
Nurse Ivan Kuster,

"nurses Maria Justic

and Lyubica Mikulich,

- "and the chief doctor Ivan Shestan".

- Wait! - What?

We know him, do not we?

I told you that they

are all the same.

"You have hemophilia."

- What?!

Hemophilia is when it is

impossible to stop bleeding.

"It's written in my father's book."

No. Yes.

It's hereditary and it's incurable.

Death comes very quickly.

This boy says that I will die!

His father is a doctor!

It's not cured! "You will not die!"

"We will not allow this!"

Dad, this girl is going to die!

She has hemophilia!

What hemophilia...

Hemophilia is only in men.

Of course. I forgot.

Dad, but you go take a look.

Bleeding does not stop.

"What can I do?"

- Look!

Okay...

Have you forgotten

anything, Doctor?

You can show it

to your patients.

Listen, who gave you the

right to insult a person?

I apologize. I thought that our

journalists write the truth.

It says that he is guilty of death.

And I believed it.

Listen to this! I wrote this.

But Dr. Shestan is innocent!

If you are so interested, read

what they write tomorrow!

Sorry. I'm sorry that it

turned out to be untrue.

- Do you understand what you have done?

- I think so.

It's always interesting to watch

children lose their illusions.

Everyone has their little

pleasures and weaknesses.

Bravo!

"What were we talking about?" - You said

that you do not like your work. - I?

What do you! I like her.

It has a lot of interesting things.
