And close the door.

-All right.

Leave me alone please.

I'm tired of this sh*t.

Your friend's out.

Same old story!

Take it easy.

Leave me alone!

Shh, be quiet.

Sebi!

Enough! I've had enough!

Tell your daughter to calm down,

she's losing it!

Cami!

I'm very upset with you!

Very upset!

Aunt Nusa,

I didn't mean to, I'm sorry!

The priest will soon be here.

What's going on?

-Nothing!

Sandra!

Who is that girl?

What is she doing here?

How can you speak

to your mother like that?

I'd be better off in Bulgaria.

What would you do in Bulgaria?

-I'd find...

He's such a braggart!

There's a rule in conversation:

we talk in turns.

She asked me something...

There are schools in Bulgaria.

-Lulu, you talk nonstop.

You still give private lessons?

I do, but it was better before,

when graduating wasn't an issue.

Who the hell graduates nowadays?

Those who want a PhD.

You manage to teach

those kids something?

It's up to them to learn.

-It's up to you to teach them!

It's what I do,

but they have

to push themselves to learn.

Enough.

Why did you let her inside

in this condition?

What was I supposed to do?

Come on, doc, tell me!

Not let her in!

Now I've got to clean it all up.

You want me to clean it up?

Need any help?

No, go and stay with Mr Popescu.

Please keep it down.

Simona, please.

I'll take her to Mom's room.

How can you tell

if it's serious or not?

Serious, my ass.

Hey, Sebi!

Why did you bring her here?

-What?

She's sleeping.

-You bring sluts here!

She's an architecture student, you ass!

No sh*t!

That skank, an architecture student?

Yes, she is, loud mouth.

What if she dies here, stupid?

How could she, moron?

-She's totally out of it!

She only had two drinks, a**hole.

That is two drinks?

-Yes, two drinks.

You're unbelievable!

Why did you lay her on the suit?

Didn't you notice?

I didn't! She just laid down.

Where were you?

-I was here.

Didn't you notice the suit on the bed?

Why did you toss it?

Girls, come on.

Hey, leave it.

Couldn't you call us?

-What for?

Look, I'll iron the suit.

It's about respect!

-Just put it back!

You want me to do it?

Girls...

No, I want you to be more careful.

Why did you...

-She's my friend from Zagreb.

What happened?

-Nothing.

Keep Mom in there

and I'll tell you later, OK?

Go in, like I told you.

Guys, leave her alone,

she's drunk!

What is it, dear?

I told you to keep her there,

not to bring her!

What's wrong?

-Nothing, she's drunk. She's asleep.

She's drunk?

-She's hammered! We'll let her sleep.

Is she ill?

-I don't know.

She's not drunk!

-She's plastered!

I'd let her sleep for a few hours,

then get a taxi to take her home.

Please, stop it!

Irina's sleeping in the next room!

Sorry.

-Simona, please, help me.

Gently!

Shut up!

Don't throw her clothes on the floor!

Keep it down, please.

She's not a junkie, okay?

That's enough!

How could you bring her here?

You schemer!

-I didn't do anything!

Enough!

-What's wrong with you?

What have I done, Mom?

What were you thinking?

-She laid on the suit.

Shut up!

What was I supposed to do,

leave her on the street?

I'll deal with you later!

-Get off my case!

What are you doing?

Open the door, I'll hold her head.

Move it, Cami!

Take her shawl!

Cami, is this...

Is this hers?

-Yes, give it to me.

Shut the door!

Just look at that!

-All wrinkled.

She doesn't care about anything.

Smooth it out.

This is just...

I'm sorry, Nusa.

What did she do?

-She got drunk, Mom.

Where are you going?

Stay with her!

-Why should I?

Isn't she your friend?

Shut up! You stay there!

Don't leave the room

before she wakes up!

Simona,

get out of the way,

you're not transparent!

Come here, on the sofa.

The priest's taking his time.

There's no rush, Gabi.

We can wait.

Yeah, well...

Ethnography and folklore.

We wait, what else can we do?

I'm kind of hungry.

I've had nothing to eat,

only a coffee on the plane.

Take some of those cold cuts

and make yourself a sandwich

until the priest gets here.

No, I want something hot.

I didn't sleep at all last night.

No wonder!

Always on the Net!

Nusa said you were

at a seminar in France.

No, in Geneva.

Habemus papam!

Third time's a charm.

Gabi! Gabi! Come here.

Is that your friend?

-Don't hit.

You'll see, from Monday on...

-Big deal!

No more money

for phone cards and clubbing!

So what?

Keep talking back, and I'll show you.

No kidding.

Enough! The priest is here!

Cut it out.

Don't you dare walk out of here!

Understand?

I'll stay with her...

Welcome, Father.

-I'm sorry I'm late.

May God forgive him.

I came from Craiova this morning,

the train was late,

then I had to drop by my house,

as it wouldn't have been right

to come straight from the station.

Where? There in the living room?

May God forgive him.

-May God forgive him.

What was all that hysteria about?

Nothing.

Bullshit.

What's wrong with your mom?

-Nothing. It's my dad.

He beat up a neighbor's husband.

Our building administrator.

Mrs Filip, maybe you know her,

slim, big tits.

Don't laugh, it's not funny!

He's pressed charges.

When did this happen?

-Yesterday.

Why do you think Mom slept here?

I didn't know.

-Still or sparkling?

Nasty.

-Sparkling, please.

Are you a theology student?

-I graduated.

I'm doing my masters,

at the conservatory.

Thank you.

-You're welcome.

Keep an eye out for your sister,

she's kind of lost.

What do you want me to do?

Beat her?

Is she on drugs?

-Who?

Cami.

How can you say that?

She wastes her time in nightclubs

and stuff, but no drugs.

Does she drink?

Yes, and why not?

You had your hands all over

the Croatian friend.

Don't worry, it'll be fine.

Let the priest finish his show,

then we'll eat.

Wait and see how everyone chills

once their bellies are full,

and how fast you'll forget 9/11

once you get laid.

Come on, the service is starting.

Lary, put out your cigarettes

and come!

Do you have a girlfriend?

No.

Why not?

She left.

Why did she leave?

Cut it out!

Light the candle.

What are you doing here?

I want to eat.

-I'm hungry, too.

Wait for the priest to finish,

then you eat!

Stay there! End of discussion!

You stay with her.

-If I have to wait for the priest....

If anything goes wrong, it's on you!

How old are you?

24, you're responsible!

Please stay with her.

You stay here with her,

end of discussion!

Thou who from the depths of Thy wisdom

and with Thy loving kindness

Thou rulest over us

and, when needed,

dost bestow Thy gifts.

Father, Creator, Dear Lord,

rest the soul of Thy departed servant.

Who in Thee did place his hope.

The clothes now.

Our Lord and our Creator

and our God.

Glory be unto the Father and the Son

and the Holy Spirit.

Stay put and close the door!

Stop it, okay?

and our prayerful intercessor

with the Lord God

to whom Thou gavest birth,

virgin Mother of God,

salvation of the believers.

God have mercy on us,

by The great mercy,
