September Page #3

Synopsis: Anna lives with her dog Manu. She thinks they will live together forever. When he dies, she buries him in the garden of the family across the street. But unlike Manu, the happy, bustling family does not need her love and affection. September is that ambivalent mood, between endings and beginnings, a struggle to find meaning and happiness out of life's ordinariness.

why didn't you look for me?

Okay.

Just a sec. Yes.

I'll help you.

Do you work here?

- Yes, I just finished.

Shall we go?

Are you going home?

- Yes, you need something?

Can I come? I don't have my car.

- Yes, sure.

...high in the sky

You are like the beat of my heart

You have cut off my wings

Come and take my sorrow from me

Come and give me back the joy

You have a horrible voice.

Stathis!

I don't.

Do I?

His is worse.

That's why I don't sing.

Stathis, be careful.

Slow down a bit.

You're going very fast.

Speed makes me nauseous.

Stathis!

Stathis, take it easy!

- Don't tell me what to do.

We need a holiday.

You could take time off

to go somewhere.

It's not possible.

They need me at work.

I need you, too.

And the loan?

How will the loan get paid?

Just for a couple of days.

I don't feel well.

Pull over for a minute.

She's weird. Don't you see it?

- Cut it out.

I don't like her.

I don't want her in my car.

It's also my car.

We bought it together. Remember?

You can't stand loneliness,

not even in the back seat.

"The most wonderful voice

I've ever heard. "

Katherina says:

"Those people with their great voices

revive the likes of Manos Xidus. "

I'm reading from E-mails we received.

What's wrong now?

What happened?

The car won't start, I'm late.

- Take the bus.

They're on strike.

- Why don't you take a cab?

50 euros?

Why don't you lend me yours?

Please.

Here.

Bring it back after work.

What time do you finish?

Around three.

Leave a bit earlier,

so I can pick up the kids, okay?

If you want I can go and get them,

it's on my way home.

- Don't worry, I'll go and get them.

You're sure?

Yes.

Thank you.

Papa never gives his car to strangers.

- He gave it to me.

Why didn't Mama come?

- Mama had work to do.

Will you take us home?

Yes, but first a ride or ice cream?

- A ride! - Ice cream!

What is that thing that they call love?

What is it?

What is it?

What is that thing,

that gives you wings

And at the same time

sorrow and delight

What is that thing that they call love?

What is it?

What is it...

that makes you feel

like singing this tune?

I love you

I love you

I love you

What is that thing that they call love?

What is it?

What is it?

That makes hearts fly high

And whoever has felt it misses it

Why don't you ever listen? Ever!

It's always about what you want!

Damn the moment

you buried this dog here.

She's a lonely woman.

You feel threatened? By what?

You understand nothing. Nothing!

Absolutely nothing!

You're never home.

Where are the kids?

Where are the kids?

Nelly, Stephanos, get inside!

Now!

I called and called!

Why don't you pick up?

I took them to the beach,

I told you I'd pick them up.

Listen here, Anna.

Don't ever come back, understood?

I swear I'll hurt you.

Never again!

Finished. That's it. Understand?

Get lost! Get lost!

Inside!

"You have a horrible voice. "

"You have a horrible voice. "

"Don't you have other friends?"

"Are you asleep?"

"Are you asleep?"

"Take me in your arms. "

"Why don't you get another dog?"

"It's not your birthday, is it?"

"Put the knife down Stephanos!"

"Put the knife down Stephanos!"

"Shall we put some salt?"

"Shall we put some salt?"

"Who will cut the lettuce?"

"Who will cut the lettuce?"

"Since having had kids,

I never buy anything for myself,

without buying something for them. "

"Anna, turn on the light. "

"I can't sleep in the dark. "

"I'm afraid. "

"I'm afraid too, Nelly. "

Excuse me?

Could I sit next to you?

I get dizzy in the aisle.

All right.

- Thank you.

Thank you.

You know where else I get dizzy?

On the train. I can't stand the train.

Are you going far?

- To Salamina.

How nice! Me too,

we'll be on the same ferry.

Work?

Holidays.

This time of year?

A bit early, no?

I want to see the sea.

Have you been before?

No, never.

- I go a lot.

It's better you're going now,

because later it gets awfully crowded.

Kids, dogs, babies, families.

I can't stand babies.

- Really?

Yes, it's full of them in the summer.

Nice weather, isn't it?

Summer.

- That's a bit hasty. Not yet.

Well, "like summer", then.

Will you take a dip as well?

- Yes.

Me, I can't stand the water.

1, 2, -, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.

I was first.

Would you like to count?

1, 2, -, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.

Niko.

Come here.

Come here, Stella!

What did you do to my orangeade?
