September Page #2

It looks nice.

Since having had kids,

I never buy anything for myself,

without buying something for them.

Why don't you try it on? Here.

It looks great on you, take it.

You'll get soaked.

Where is it?

- Who are you calling?

- Stathis, to come and get us.

I like the rain.

There he is.

Come on.

Let's go.

What did you buy this time?

One of the bags is mine,

the other one is Anna's.

Hi.

You left the kids alone?

- Nothing can happen, they're watching TV.

The washing, did you bring it inside?

- I did.

- Great.

Stathis.

Sophia, please.

We had two car accidents last night.

I didn't sleep a wink.

I'm sorry.

Cuddle up.

Did you hear that?

Stathis, did you hear that?

I didn't hear anything.

There was a noise from somewhere.

It's you who's making the noise.

Stathis. I'm scared.

- I can jump higher.

- Sure. What are you on about?

- See?

- No, I'm blind.

Look again.

Did you see?

You're doing my head in.

Nelly, stop it now!

Stop. You'll wake him up.

That's impossible.

He's dead.

He's not dead. He's sleeping.

- Nelly.

- I'm trying to take it away from her.

Nelly.

Play with something else!

I'm going to dig him out

and throw him in the garbage.

You hear?

I'm talking to you!

Why are you so obsessed?

- It's bad luck. Don't you get it?

- Since when were you superstitious?

What do you think?

If you'd seen her with her dead dog,

you'd have done the same.

A dog died, that's all. A dog.

You should see

what I see in hospital every day.

Probably it's made you immune to pain.

Hello Anna.

Hello Darling, sorry to hear about Manu.

Don't give up.

You were always strong.

See it as a chance to make a new start.

We're thinking of coming in summer.

Do you still have mother's car?

Kisses.

"Milk, bread, cheese,

tomatoes, pasta, apples,

carrots, peppers.

Tell Maria, there is food in the fridge.

We love you dearly, Mama and Papa. "

Sophia, wake up!

Wake up! Are you getting up?

Come on.

Do I have to?

You have to take the kids to school.

- Will you take them?

- No, I have no time.

- Please.

- Not today, love.

Stephanos, Nelly, wake up!

Come on kids, wake up!

Wake up, kids.

Stathis, go get them up.

Sophia, I'm in a hurry.

Move it kids!

Great.

- What's that?

- I don't know.

What is it? Stephanos.

"Today is my birthday,

would you like to come over to my house

with Stathis and the kids?"

"Kassaveti -, 5th floor,

Anna Dimou. "

"On the bell it says:

Anna Dimou.

It's a bit blurred. "

Here is your milk.

Nelly, Stephanos, I'll put it here.

Sophia?

What is it?

- The kids found it under the door.

- Who is it from?

Guess!

Yes?

Yes.

Hello, Maria!

Yes, now I hear you, everything okay?

No, no, I am cooking,

I am expecting friends.

I know.

I'm better.

I'll call you.

I have to go now, okay?

Okay bye, bye.

- Hello.

- Hi.

- Happy Birthday.

- Thank you.

- Nelly, give her the present.

- You shouldn't have. And Stathis?

- He's on night shift.

- My father saves lives.

- Can we look around the house?

- Yes.

- Stephanos, Nelly!

- Let them.

- Is that your sister?

- Yes.

Happy Birthday.

- Where does she live?

- In Albany, New York.

- Have you ever been to see her?

- No, I don't have the money.

- Why don't you get another dog?

- What's that?

Nothing.

Mama, we're the only guests.

- Don't you have other friends?

- They couldn't make it tonight.

- Don't you have other friends?

- They couldn't make it tonight.

No, don't put it down yet.

Open your gift.

- I'm hungry.

- It's coming.

Hold this.

- I didn't have a tablecloth.

- Do you like it?

Thank you, I really like it.

- Thank you, kids.

- You're welcome.

- I should have taken a smaller one.

- Doesn't matter.

It's too big.

You put out the candle.

- By accident.

- It's okay.

- I'll do it.

- Anna, do you mind?

No, we'll light it.

First you have to put the knife.

Anna, why did you bury your dog

at our house?

Because he is happy there.

- How old are you?

- 2.

You look younger.

- About 29.

- 16.

- No, about 5.

- No, 2.

It's the first time I have people over.

Really?

- Happy Birthday.

- Happy Birthday.

Thank you.

I like your place, it's small but cosy.

And I like yours.

Where is the cake?

I forgot.

You forgot your birthday?

It's not your birthday, right?

It is my birthday.

It's my birthday.

- Name day?

- It's her birthday.

- It's my birthday, I'll get ice cream.

- No need.

- Strawberry.

- Yes, and...

You don't have to.

- Strawberry and vanilla.

- You don't have to.

- Come on, go, go.

- Good.

I don't have small plates,

let's just share.

- I have an idea, we'll put this here.

- It's mine.

- Imagine this is the cake.

- Wow! - Chocolate.

- Can I blow it out?

- No. Anna should.

May you live, dear Anna

For many years to come

May you grow old

and your hair turn white

May you spread everywhere

the light of knowledge

So everyone will say:

What a wise woman she is.

- Did you make a wish?

- No, I didn't.

I'll make one now.

Don't.

They never come true.

Or do they?

I want to watch TV.

Where is the TV?

- The remote is on the table.

- Thank you.

- We have to get going.

- Already?

It's late.

Don't you want to stay over?

I'll put a mattress down.

Another time.

We're going, come on.

It's time to turn off the TV.

All right then.

Let's go!

Come on, kids.

- Goodnight.

- Goodnight.

It was very nice.

- Yes?

- Sophia, it's me Anna.

What is it? Everything all right?

I took out the garbage

and locked myself out.

I thought you might still be awake.

Quick, back to bed. It's late.

You want to stay here tonight?

We call the locksmith in the morning.

- You really mean it?

- Why not?

- I woke you up.

- I wasn't sleeping.

When Stathis is away,

I have problems sleeping.

But you have the kids.

Yes I have the kids.

- Shall I help you?

- No, I can do it.

Anna, turn on the light.

Why aren't you sleeping?

I don't like sleeping in the dark.

Me neither.

What's America like?

I haven't been, but it's big.

Bigger than Athens?

- Bigger.

- Bigger than Greece?

Even bigger.

No way!

Anna, what do kids do in America?

They're sad like everywhere in the world.

Like you.

My mama is also sad sometimes.

They need to sleep.

- I'm sorry.

Who is wearing socks?

- Nobody. No.

We don't wear them to bed?

- I do.

Foot! One...

Take Nelly's as well.

- Nelly's!

The other one, quick! Foot!

Every day you take them from me.

- Quick! - No!

And the other one.

Goodnight.

You're not asleep?

- I'm not sleepy.

I'm tired, go to sleep.

Sophia, I just couldn't sleep alone.

This can't go on,

maybe you should do something about it.

I like it here.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

Anna, wake up! You have to go.

When Stathis comes home he'll be tired.

Can I use the bathroom?

- Yes, of course.

Bye.

I love sleeping next to you

and telling you sweet nothings.

Just a second, the cell, it's work,

give me two minutes.

Yes? Hello.

You avoided me.

- I didn't see you.

You know I am working here,
