Aneta!

Don't bother. You

won't catch her.

The kids...

You look tired.

Hope you don't get sick.

Wouldn't be a surprise,

in this heat.

Come sit down.

Come on.

A drink's the best

cure for this.

Always ready.

Since forever.

Want some?

What are we drinking to?

Good, eh?

Then Da and I got married.

But it's been ages now.

Because men are...

I don't know about Tom, he

was always a bit different.

You must know, Elika. He

was always kinda weird.

Men are different in that way.

It's an urge.

They can't help it,

it's in their nature.

It might not seem fair,

but life is unfair.

Since forever.

Where have you been?

- Elika...

- Quiet! Why do you keep coming here?

We came here to find

peace, you hear me?

To live in peace! And

you keep bothering us.

You keep bending her ear.

You're scaring us.

We're terrified of you.

Leave us alone!

- Elika...

- I don't want to listen to you.

I'm scared of you. And she's scared of me.

Locks herself in her room.

- I'm protecting her, Elika...

- You didn't protect your own child.

You know what happened to her?

Her dad killed himself.

You told her?

The pipes must be taken apart...

So I could come...

I'll come back. You

can count on me.

Zdenk, what's up, dude?

Mr. Mayor, we worried that

you wouldn't drink with us.

No, not today. Have

you seen Aneka?

No. But that's normal, right?

It's late.

Zdenk, have you seen her?

Have a drink with us.

She'll be found.

I'll go look in the fields.

Dude, what's up?

Where are you going, man?

Jeez!

I came to finish the work.

You're out of your mind.

Go away!

You should be happy

I'll do it for you.

- It's midnight, leave!

- I can't come tomorrow.

Done!

- It's done?

- Sure is.

So thank you.

No problem.

But not everything is

for free, you see?

I think you should leave.

Mrzov is running loose.

I'll protect you.

Please go away.

Aneka?

Speak only good of the dead.

I haven't seen you for

some time, Cutie.

- She was sick.

- Poor girl.

Such a beautiful summer, and you're sick?

Is she okay now?

So stop by sometime,

now that she's better.

That natural event is coming up.

Bring your shades with you

and meet in our garden.

We'll grill something.

What a tragedy. Crazy woman.

She kept running around in

the fields, heat or not.

How many times have I told her

she'd fry, and here it is.

But speak only good of the dead.

Into your hands, O, Lord, we

humbly entrust this good woman,

gone to her rest, may she share

in the joy of your resurrection.

May her sins and failings

committed in moments of weakness

be forgiven by your

merciful love.

We ask this through

Christ our Lord.

Amen.

Want to watch the

eclipse with me?

I made the shades for us, look.

So come to our house, okay?

I'm sorry. I apologize.

When I drink too much

then I, since forever...

Even with Da.

I didn't mean to touch you.

Nothing happened, right?

I know...

Could you please not

tell anyone about it?

Please.

Don't tell anyone.

Why didn't you change, Anetka?

You'll fry in this.

Want to go plant flowers with me?

Or whatever it is.

I don't even know. We

have a flower bed.

Come on.

Anetka?

You hear me?

Damn it, come here, Aneta!

Can you come here?!

I think they're flowers.

Some might be vegetables.

We need the rain to come,

or it will all wither.

The Poleks have

beautiful flowers, eh?

Isn't it nice when we

do things together?

Just the two of us. Together.

Aneta, what are you doing?!

Go to your room! Now!

Go!

No way! Go to your room!

I told you to go to your room!

No! I don't want to go!

She takes and won't give back...

Mom?

She'll be back...

Moon embarrassed little Johnny,

lifted him up into the sky

and took him back to

the land far far way,

all the way to his house.

And they all lived

happily ever after.

Good night, Anetka.

Now I'll wash you, Anetka.

And then we'll make breakfast.

We'll make a strudel. You

like strudel, don't you?

And everything will be fine.

It's over now.

Give me your hands.

Together we can do it.

You and I.

- Elika...

- What do you want?

Open the door, Elika.

I'm sorry, I can't.

Elika, for God's sake,

what's in the windows?

Go away.

Elika...

I don't know what's going on,

but Aneka... this

is how it started.

And you know how it ended.

Elika...

Goodbye.

Fine.

Listen to me.

If you want to talk to someone,

you know where to find me.

I'm worried about you.

Give that child here.

Give that child here...

- Give that child here.

- No!

- Mom, let go of me.

- No, I won't let you go.

No! No!

Let go!

No! No!

- Anetka!

- Mom, you're scaring me.

Anetka.

I'm sorry.

Forgive me.

I'm sorry, Anetka.

Please forgive me.

Anetka, forgive me.
