Capital requires a turnover.

Alright.

Aren't you taking me home?

Of course.

Tell me, do you like birds?

Yes.

Let's see...

Do you like pigeons?

Well, yes...

- Let me show you.

- I'd like that, but I must go home.

I promised that I'll drive you,

you won't be late.

- My parents are waiting for me.

- Your parents!

Your dad works for me.

I know your dad.

I know.

Then there's no reason

to be scared.

Come in.

Marina?

Have you ever seen

how pigeons make love?

Let me go!

Kiss me, Marina.

Don't... don't!

I want to give you what

no one has ever given you.

I'll take you to the sea.

Then I'll dress you properly.

We'll go to Belgrade.

Let me go! Don't! Please!

Please!

Please, don't!

Please!

You'll like it.

Let me go!

Please! No!

You'll like it, Marina!

What?!... You...

You slut! Look at that...

You slut!

Watch the curtain.

I'm coming.

Where are you?

Find us.

Watch out, the water is hot.

I'm here, I'm here.

Daddy!

Grandma.

Daddy...

Now I've got you! Now I've got you!

Where are my children?

Marina?

Where have you been?

Kiss Daddy.

Sorry, Dad.

What happened?

Nothing.

Let me in, Marina.

Please... What happened?

Open up, honey.

Open up.

What happened?

Please, open up, honey!

Please, open up.

- Is Kikovich home?

- No.

- Where is he?

- He's been taken away.

- Where to?

- To the hospital.

- I'll wait for him.

- Well, wait.

I'll wait right here.

I'll wait, no problem.

Wait.

I'll wait for him.

What's up, hunter?

Come over here.

Come over here, all of you.

Come here.

Kikovich raped her...

Tomorrow it could be

your daughters or sisters.

What are you talking about?

He raped my daughter!

Tell the police.

Who works with the police?

All his people.

You just figured that out?

We've got to do something!

- We...

- We've got to.

I'll grab a beer

and I'll go with you.

He raped our Marina!

Brother,

when I told you that a criminal

was buying our foundry,

you didn't pay any attention,

because you didn't get fired,

but I did.

And now when your ass

is at stake...

You're her uncle.

We have to do something.

Yes, we have to. But what?

Why that rusty gun?

He's not a rabbit.

You didn't stand by me

when you should have.

You didn't, brother...

I'm going with you.

We'll beat the sh*t out of him!

Kikovich!

Come on out!

Do you hear me, Kikovich?

Come on out!

Oh, it's you...

What can I do for you?

- What did you do to Marina?

- What're you talking about?

Answer my question!

Put that gun away.

You hear me?

I'll shoot!

You will?

- I swear!

- Want to hear what happened?

Do you want to hear?

Put that thing down.

Put it down.

That's it.

Your daughter, you know...

She asked me

to take her for a ride.

Women like nice cars.

I took her to the fishpond.

She asked me to take her

to the sea, to buy her dresses.

She was talking bullshit.

I said I don't buy love.

She threw herself at me. She

went nuts and bit off half my ear.

You see? I've had stitches.

What?

What is it, Simon?

You don't believe me?

- You raped her.

- No.

You know

why you don't believe me?

Parents...

never want to see the truth.

You raped her, damn you!

You're a good man.

And a good worker.

Think about it.

Otherwise...

I will destroy all of you.

Sleep, sleep... Sleep, sweetie.

Everything will be just fine.

Do you have anything

in that head of yours?

What'd happen to us

if you went to jail?

Maybe I went a little too far.

Yes.

We've come to talk about what

happened between you and my

family.

Here's...

a little something...

for you.

I'm really touched.

It's rare nowadays,when people

only hate each other,

when there's such evil among

people,

to find someone

who's prepared to apologize.

But

Simon...

Marina, sweetheart,

why did you do it?

Tell me, don't be afraid.

I don't know. Forgive me.

She didn't do it on purpose.

It was an accident.

Then we all sat down together

and thought it over.

You didn't report her

to the police, or me.

It's alright, Simon.

What good would it do?

Go home and rest today.

Tomorrow,

come to work.

Go on.

The pears are not ripe yet.

The weather's weird this year.

Nothing's like before.

Go on, children.

Eat.

If you're happy and you know it,

clap your hands...

If you're happy and you know it,

clap your hands...

That's right, people, that's right.

Happy, happy...

Be optimistic and think positive.

That's right...

And these little eyes will see

how beautiful the world is!

From your lips

to God's ears!

But, sir, you must have faith!

There's no cure

if you don't believe.

I believe, I believe.

Do we all believe?

We believe!

I've seen with my own eyes

blind people see for the first time.

May God grant this.

If you're in doubt, I'll give you

your money back right now.

No problem.

Here.

Honey, give me your hand.

- What would you like?

- A computer for blind people.

You can buy it.

But soon you'll see

how pretty the world is.

Green trees,

a blue sky,

grass full of flowers

where buttertlies flutter!

I don't want to force anybody.

I'll give your money back.

I want you to understand

one thing.

I'm asking you for the last time.

Who isn't sure?

You can wait

at the first gas station.

On our way back,

when we are all happy and cured,

we'll pick you up.

Right?

I want to go, Dad.

Go on.

Thank you.

Listen to me, people.

Not to believe in good people

is worse

than to believe in bad people.

I want to thank Mr Aleksa

for having understood

my difficult material situation

and for letting me pay

in 6 monthly payments,

without interest.

Bravo!

He knows only too well

that for me this is the last chance.

There isn't any last chance.

That's what I used to think.

Doctors gave me 6 months...

6? 1 month to live.

They said I had.... a brain tumor.

I lived

without joy.

I was overcome with sadness.

And today I would probably be dead

if I hadn't had a friend

who was close to the most

powertul people in the state.

He saw how I was suffering,

how I thought I was dying,

and he took pity on me.

He revealed the secret to me.

If it only comes true.

And why wouldn't it?

You saw what happened to your

son,

in the best hospital

in the country!

Right!

Did they restore your health?

No!

Did they give you your money back?

No, they didn't!

But why don't the authorities

let people bathe over there?

Why? That's a good question.

That's the real question.

Because they're selfish.

They keep the spring

for themselves.

But thank God

that the guards

will let people in for a price.

This money does not go to me,

it goes to them.

I only cover the costs

of the trip and organization.

We'll see when we get there.

You don't get anything when you

always doubt. I'm an optimist.

Yes, you have to be optimistic!

You have to be optimistic...

Everything OK? Are they

the guardians of the spring?

Yes, yes... I'll take care

of everything with them.

Probably a routine check.

Which one of you is Aleksa Pantic?
