You don't need anything else.

But you have to remain silent about it.

Before you walk through this gate

you have to give up your soul.

Your mobile phone.

I'll keep that over the duration of study.

You will only use the rooms

that I'll show you.

Unless you want to break your neck.

The bathroom is right next door.

Sometimes there is no warm water.

Then you have to inform the janitor.

Thank you.

Now relax.

When does the work start?

- From now on...

...everything will be work.

Wait here for me.

Hello, Peter. It's me.

I'm working on it.

As soon as I know more,

I'll contact you, okay?

Okay, so long.

Bye.

What is this?

- In the 70s...

...Gdula used LSD and Mescaline

for his lessons.

But it caused problems.

Today we have this. It's much better.

If you are reasonable...

...then you will not drink it.

When you embrace the method

it will tum you into a free being.

But it has its price.

Now lie down.

What do we have here?!

Okay...

Name:

Virginia Klein.

Date of birth:

January 14th, 1978.

Must check that.

Collection of personal belongings.

There's something shady about it.

Hello?

Hello?

Is somebody there?

Hello?

Is somebody there?

Well, I'm leaving now.

No harm meant.

Please! Please!

Please!

Please don't!

Help!

Good morning.

Morning.

Did you sleep well?

I...

I dreamt of...

...of music that...

...that I heard a long time ago.

- Music?

My mom used to listen to those oldies.

This is very good.

You see, it awakened your memories.

It won't be your last dream.

Stop it!

You are not doing it right!

Forwhom are you dancing?

For me.

You are dancing like a doggy! Like a

doggy doing tricks so it won't get beaten!

Stella, for whom are you really dancing?

Did that hurt?

Are you angry now?

Then dance!

Dance the pain! Dance the anger!

Faster!

Come on!

Hurry up!

Dance yourself back into your childhood!

Dance!

Help!

I can't breathe!

Stella!

- I tear you out of your mom!

Go out into the light.

Go, fight...

I told you it would hurt.

And it will hurt even more.

But the pain... it will make you shine.

Disappear vipers...

...reptiles and beasts...

...so that you wouldn't banish the light.

Black Fem and flower bed...

...where the dream decays.

Fair friend, stay during the night.

Apply with your wings

silk dust on my soul...

...which is longing for honey beehive

and is consumed by the senses.

You'll suffer for this!

Do I have to hate you and

beat you and kill you...

...because you feast on my

lover's grief in front of him?

In this farce...

in this farce aimed...

In this farce aimed against me.

I'm utterly surprised at this ugly talking.

My dear, I really don't sneer at you.

Look at me.

Oh bride of the sun...

...I will bloom in your light.

I'd like to say a big thank you to everyone.

It was a really wonderful play.

And all the acting was quite stunning.

The buffet is now open.

The best of luck

for your holidays.

Da Capo.

- Florian, what are you doing here?

I was just passing by,

thought I'd look you up.

You were great tonight.

Thank you.

Is something wrong?

- No.

Underneath the make-up

you don't look very well.

Florian, I've no time for that now.

- Come home.

Stella...

I don't know what happens here,

but it's not good for you.

Please leave now.

- Not without you!

You have to come back with me.

I'll search a different school.

Really?! Can I grab my toothbrush first?

There are two of them at my

house with your taste on it!

Damn it, Florian!

I think you better leave now.

- And I will take her with me.

Florian, leave me alone, okay?!

I'm happy for the first time

and you don't ruin it!

Don't touch me!

Get lost! Go away! Leave!

Leave me alone!

Get lost!

Piss off!

Piss off, damn it!

Go away!

Would you leave me alone for a minute.

Please.

So you are Stella's white knight.

Well?

- You could try to save me too.

Child, what's up?

- Shall I call a medic?

Wait!

She may have taken drugs.

Sure, what else?!

- I'll take care of her.

You will not see her again,

when the new school year begins.

Go back to your earliest memories.

What is it, Stella?

Mama is right here.

Mama, don't leave me alone!

You're always leaving me alone!

What do you do?

What does a baby do,

to get mommy back?

No, please don't!

Where am I?

What has happened?

The party!

I can't remember anything!

Brave little one.

You've made a journey.

You've come very far.

I...

Now I remember everything.

The glass.

You've put something in it.

Why did you do that?

Why in front of everybody?

It's part of it.

That's the method.

Total transformation through art.

He only accepted those

who were prepared...

...to abandon their bourgeois roots.

Only those without any family ties...

...were ready to make this experience.

Emotions.

The most extreme emotions.

Acting that was more real

than life itself.

Could you describe that in detail?

Everybody who has experienced all

that firsthand worshipped him.

Me too!

1973 a part of me died.

Gdula's method intends to integrate the

lives of the students in the mise-en-scne.

My own life, my fate became the script.

My soul his stage.

But I got lucky.

Some kind of survival instinct...

...pulled me out of my love

for this genius of a teacher.

Without this instinct...

...the method would have devoured me.

Gdula's method led the students

to one inevitable destination:

Death!

Stella?

Is something wrong?

No.

Do I really have to drink that stuff again?

Only one or two more times.

You have almost achieved your goal.

It opens the door to your memories.

I... I don't need that to remember.

My child, you have to trust me.

I don't want to drink that stuff!

It makes me sick!

My child, only your fear makes you sick.

It's just for your own good.

Well done.

Forgive me.

Hey Ho - Let's go! This is Florian.

Leave me a message!

Florian.

It's me.

Forget what happened at the party.

I'm in trouble!

I got to leave here!

Please, please call me back!

I hope the dose was enough.

She spit a lot of it out again.

You have to check on her immediately.

Before classes start again,

you must get rid of her body.

Stella!

Stella!

Cecile?

Cecile, do you hear me?

Stella...

Schh!

Cecile, you have to get up.

Come on, Cecile.

Come on, get going.

Cecile, get going.

My child.

She simply hung up on me.

Oh drama, drama.

Are you still attached to her?

Are you listening to me?

What's going on at this school?

I knew from the start that there

is something shady about it.

Before Janowska removed

Cecile from our class...

...she was completely clueless about

acting and looked like sh*t.

Three weeks later, when she returned

from the private lessons...

...she suddenly performed like Audrey

Hepburn. And it was the same with Stella.

Stella never looked like sh*t.

Look!

This is the documentary Stella had found.

Mateusz has opened my soul.

And I will stay with him forever.

We are reckless in our emotions

because we want to live.
