Miss Violence Page #3

- Yes.

Philippos and Alkmini,

can you go to your room please?

Have a seat.

You haven't filled out

the income.

Which family members work?

For the time being, just me. I'm an

accountant. I have a few clients.

And Eleni's looking for a job.

We do what we can, you understand.

You say here that all the children,

including Angeliki were

...of unknown father.

Was the father

the same person?

You mean you don't know the name

of any of the fathers?

Eleni had run away from home

to be with the kids' father.

He never recognized them.

Eleni is somewhat ashamed.

Why did you run away?

Your parents seem

very understanding.

I was very young. And in love.

I didn't know what I was doing.

Daddy forgave me

as soon as I came back.

Mom too. She was already

helping me secretly.

She still helps

with the kids.

And dad of course.

He drives them

to and from school every day.

He takes good care

of them.

The kids love him

very much.

How do you spend

your day?

Can we offer you

something?

Thank you.

Yesterday?

What did you do?

I went and had my hair cut,

and then for a walk.

Dad insisted.

And the day before?

My best friend came to see me.

She's a neighbor.

She has a little girl,

Alkmini's age, Marina.

Please wait outside.

Are you pregnant?

Who's the baby's father?

Mr Dimitris Georgiou.

I wasn't talking to you, sir.

- Why didn't you mention it?

- I'm sorry.

Do you take us for fools?

I beg your pardon!

What are you inferring?

After all these years she's finally

in a serious relationship.

She was barely 3 months pregnant

when that happened that accident

Please finish up.

Don't you see how upset she is?

There's no need for that, Madam.

We're only doing our job.

We have to make sure

that your daughter...

...can raise one more child.

- Please tell me his name again.

- Dimitris Georgiou.

- Address?

- Xenokratous 27.

Phone number?

We'll contact him.

- Thank you very much.

- Thank you.

Clearly you are a father

substitute for the children.

Thank you.

I do whatever I can.

It's strange though. It seems as

if nothing ever happened here.

I've tried very hard

to achieve this.

- How did you do with your exams?

- Good.

Give it to me

Come here.

What a turn on

you are

Next time bring us one

that smiles a bit.

I brought her so we'd have

some fun. Keep your money.

Come on,

don't be shy, take it.

Well, I liked her a lot.

Goodnight.

Bye.

Next time

smile more.

Otherwise they won't even

screw you for 30 euros.

You didn't pay.

I told her everything.

That's why she jumped.

Always at 11 years old.

Huh, Dad?

I wish I'd jumped too.

Grandpa, can I also

have some chocolate?

Yes, sweetheart,

you can.

Hello?

Speaking.

I see.

Yes, of course

I understand.

I'll be right over.

Please

wait outside.

Thank you for coming

right away.

What's the matter?

I saw Myrto angrily tearing up

a 20-euro note.

After I pressed her

for answers...

...she said things at home

aren't good.

What do you mean?

That you are

very violent.

Violent?

You must be joking.

To be honest,

I don't know what to believe.

I can see you show

great interest...

...in children's schooling.

You know, things at home

are difficult after the accident...

Myrto and Angeliki

were very close.

I don't know why

she said these things.

Perhaps because I forbade her

to see her boyfriend.

I caught them smoking.

She had problems with some

kids at school, too.

Maybe I also made mistakes.

I overreacted.

I didn't know she was

under so much pressure.

I'm never home. The family is big

and there's not much money.

But drugs

are a serious matter.

That's no excuse

for violence.

You should know that I'll keep

talking to her from now on.

If she complains again...

...I'll be forced

to notify Welfare.

When such things

happen...

...kids need help

from all of us.

Of course.

Of course, you're right.

She respects you

and values your opinion.

Only let's not make her

ashamed to come to school.

Deep down inside she knows

what she did wrong.

Come on,

come on.

I didn't want you

to go hungry.

It was very sad for me, but now

we'll forget all about it?

Come on.

Come and eat.

Shall we go and get

some ice cream too?

- It's a nice house,isn't it Alkmini?

- Yes.

Here you are.

Mister Dimitris

is a very good friend of mine.

My Alkmini dances very well.

Don't you Alkmini?

Yes.

Do you want to dance?

Come on,

don't be shy.

Show us

how well you dance.

Mommy...

Mommy...

Mommy...

You go to sleep.

Go to sleep.

Do you

hear me?

Here you are.

In the morning

we'll go to the beach.

Fine.

I want to

lie down.

Are you coming?

In a while.

I want to finish here.

Daddy...

Daddy?

Eleni,

lock the door.
