Don't!

B*tch!

Let it go son in law.

The house is full of people. Go.

People, do you want

one more glass, ha?

Children let's go home, let's go.

Good night.

- Good night.

Don't!

- He will kill my child!

She's carrying a child, Marko!

You are right, I could also have

problems with the police.

Ivan, it's enough of it!

Go get inside!

Enough I said!

It happens that a man lifts his arm

on a woman when she's guilty.

But he shouldn't when she's...

...in this condition.

Big thing.

I don't know how we'll do it.

- But what?

Come inside, friend.

Ivan, come here.

Sit friend.

To me it's all the same.

If I can say it like that.

I don't get involved

in Ivan's affairs.

He has to decide for himself.

- But what?

She's pregnant.

Praise the Lord.

Eh, praise the Lord...

The child is not his.

But who's would it be?

We just know it's not Ivan's.

Don't drink so much,

you had it enough even on road.

You'll need a clear head.

I needed it when I got married.

I don't know what you

are talking about.

I married her on Petrovo.

And even if it was from the first

she couldn't give birth

before the end of March.

But the doctor said that she will

give birth as early as January.

Maybe the doctor can be wrong.

It can happen that

the child is born

after seven months.

Let it be born to you.

Not to me.

You cried in America for your

son Makica, you remember?

I remember.

You told me that I have to

name my son Makica.

Now you can have Makica

from seven months.

Don't touch!

Don't touch my dead boy.

- Peace!

Peace! People don't talk like that.

Peace!

We wonder who's child is it?

And what will happen with

Masha? - She can go where

she came from.

She's no longer my wife.

Don't son. It's not the girls fault.

Calm, calm...

Then why

Masha didn't marry that Perelja?

- Jole didn't approve.

The boy wanted to marry her

but he didn't approve.

I will pay for this shame as well.

- Wait, Jole.

It's not girls fault but yours.

You cheated my son, not her.

You were a man once,

but not anymore.

You got greedy for the money.

Father, what do you have

to say to anyone?

You didn't get greedy?

Didn't my mother

wait for you 25 years?

Didn't you drag me away to America,

too, to get as rich as we can?

Damned money and America.

Goodbye Maja.

God protect you.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Goodbye my child.

We've all wronged you.

Ivan.

Forgive me.

I'll be wrong until death.

Is there anyone?

Toma will bring the midwife even

if he had to carry her on his back.

I'm afraid he'll get stuck

in this crazy weather.

Greeting.

You came as well.

- Is there any news?

Nothing yet.

Is it true that Jole doesn't

allow her to give birth in house?

Does she have to do it

like a cow in the stable?

Won't give, outlaw.

She won't give birth to bastard

inside my house, he said.

Here, over here.

Do you at least know where

we are now, you fool?

In Lika, God.

Where else would man

find such beauty.

Masha has nothing better to do than

give birth on a snowstorm like this?

All evil isn't for evil.

I heard Perelja came back

for her from Slavonija.

If he barges in and see how Jole

chased off Masha in the stable

well, I don't know how

it would end.

Come Manda close to the fire,

warm yourself up.

It's not cold, sheep warmed it. -But

you're on your feet since morning.

We will get it all done

even without midwife.

Not lot of children gets

born without her here.

But not in a stable, poor me.

Oh, I gave birth to my Shime

when I was in the woods.

I brought him in an apron.

Stable is paradise

in comparison to a woods.

Virgin Mary gave birth to Jesus in

stable too, and what's wrong with him?

To give birth in a stable...

Where's that Jole so I can tell him.

- Don't use furious words.

The whole day he was growling

like a dog and cursing.

God forgive him, like he went mad.

When there's a snowstorm he loses

his nerves. - What nerves?

In the old times there

weren't any nerves.

Today as soon as somebody

gets angry or crazy

or does something wrong,

doctors say, nerves.

Aren't you going home,

you'll get burried in the snow.

It's okay.

I will wait for the birth.

What's wrong with you,

it can last until morning.

But if you really want it,

go and get some wood, go.

I will, I will.

This way, here's our people.

Devil is probably driving

like this around hell.

Faster, faster. - I can't see or

hear anything because of

this snow and wind.

Take care of the horses. She would

freeze if it wasn't for me.

Poor her, she squeezed

with me like a cat.

You will have to go to

the stable, Masha is there.

What stable?! Bring her into the house.

- Jole doesn't want that. It's no joke.

Don't listen to Jole. This is hers

house as much as his.

Jole didn't make anything on his own.

Where is he so I can talk to him?

To devil, he went outside the day

before yesterday. -In this snowstorm?

My God.

- Is that the midwife? Fast!

Let's go into the stable!

When you ask her

why did they come back?

Why they left there

everything they earned?

They say,

I missed this air,

the cold spring water,

the smell of smoke from fireplace,

bleat of cows and sheep.

Suddenly you miss

everything you mind here.

Rocks,

the karst sinkhole that you

need to shovel,

oaks that need to be pruned.

And then they say

I want to rest in my land.

Everything...

Everything, my God.

Is the comedy over?

Or do I need...

What are you talking about, Jole?

About Masha.

And her bastard.

You can say,

every man is in

the image of human.

Look, look at the attorney.

Uncle?

Man bring the sheep inside

the house if it's cold.

And you your own

daughter... - A boy!

You're wet

behind ears for me.

You smell of milk.

If I'm young I'm not blind.

I know what's good and

what's not. - Shut up!

I can shut up but the village won't.

- I don't live form the village.

Who can touch me?

I'm not afraid of anybody.

Especially when you have

so much wine in your head.

Go out of my house.

Wait...

- Go out of my house!

Let him go Jole, when you get

sober you will speak differently.

Go.

Everybody out!

Wait for heaven's sake man.

We came for bussines.

Get out!

You stayed the same.

All you know is shout.

Curse.

Throw people out of the house.

I heard everything from mother.

I'm asking you

what do you wan't from me.

Nothing, coward.

Hit me, if you're a man.

Hit me for f***ing hell so you

can see how debts are payed.

You're not her father anymore.

- Water, water! It's boy!

Jole...

...you got a grandson

you animal.

Perelja.

Oh Perelja.

- Mother.

I will bring her in.

Who are you?!

Who...

Ah, Perelja.

Go, go.

Don't turn.

Here, take him to the house.

Into the warmth.

Don't look.

Fast, fast.

It's cold.

Oh my God.

Jole.

He's here, by the fireplace.

Where you also warmed

up for the first time.

And your father.

And your grandpa.

Where we warmed up

Makica for the first time.

Jole.

Cry, cry.

It's grandpa's.
