Silent Wedding

Synopsis: An enigmatic, so-called Mayor of a deserted village somewhere in Romania, commissions a small film crew specialized in documenting unexplained paranormal events, to make a brief documentary on his village, before the next elections. On their way to the place, the friendly and light-hearted atmosphere, gradually started giving its place to a more serious one, as strange sightings of women dressed in black appearing from the ruins, paired with an eerie apparition of a woman in white, began to manifest. What had happened to this once peaceful and colorful village, with its happy and down-to-earth inhabitants? Did it have something to do with the event of Stalin's death, when a seven-day international mourning was declared, strictly forbidding all popular events? Is the Mayor hiding something and what is his link to the village's past?

SILENT WEDDING:

Great shape.

I piss at 7:
00 everyday and

have a sh*t at 8:00.

That's early...

What time do you wake up?

At nine.

Hi there, Paramedia?

Mr Gogonea?

Yeah.

Do you know the way?

Not really.

Let's go, I'll show you.

I don't understand...

What's this Paramedia?

We make films

about paranormal stuff...

...then sell them to the highest bidder.

Mr Cretu, also called Donald,

is the driver...

...he's Runcu,

photographer and smooth operator...

...and Mafalda, the sound operator,

editor and Psychic.

Gogonea.

Tell me Mayor...

...have strange things been going on

for a long time?

First, there was that girl,

when I was just a boy...

...and I was called Gogonica.

Come on, forget that girl.

Tell us what's happening now.

Like the elections in '45?

Everyone voted Liberal,

and the communists won.

Forget that tool.

We want today's paranormal stuff.

What's normal these days?

Is this the new road?

Turn the f***ing music down!

Is this the new road?

Built with European money.

Not enough to go round.

Mafalda, don't you feel

anything strange around here?

Yes, a strange need to piss.

My kidneys are in a total mess.

Any nature-friendly loos

around here?

Sure, everywhere!

Nothing more friendly than this!

And zero investment.

We're fighting the effects

of the drought...

...and as for irrigation...

Will the film be broadcast

by the end of the month?

There'll be the local elections.

I'm not sure. It depends on what

we uncover here.

Slow down.

Get a photo of that old woman.

Who is she? What used to be here?

A village. The communists destroyed it

to build a factory.

Now that's being

destroyed by the capitalists...

...to rebuild a village.

A holiday village!

What have we got here, mate?

Fresh meat.

Canned and past its sell-by date.

It's Marinela.

Hi there Marinela!

Boys, how do you

prefer it?

Altogether or one at a time?

Marinela,

don't make a fool of yourself.

They're from the Television.

Oh really? So sorry.

I'm wearing cotton panties.

Let's have a look.

Come on handsome,

are you brave enough?

Well no, I'm not.

Too badl I would've taught

you things...

...that few girls know

nowadays!

Marinela I

Cretu I

I used to work at the Post Office.

That's enough!

I charged per word at work...

...and by inch at home.

I used to be the slut

of the village!

Right, Gogonica?

Right!

Enough talking!

I like a quick chat

and a long, long f***!

Come on, boys!

Who wants to be first?

Get your hands off me,

kiddo!

You should talk to the committee

about me teaching!

What do you want to teach?

Religion!

Stop the car!

Mayor, tell me what

happened here.

Lancu, your father's

calling you!

I won't!

Shut your f***ing mouth!

Shut up!

If it's not him, it's another.

If he's not bad, he's

good enough!

I will not!

So, the slut's come home!

Leave her alone!

Shut up or I'll give you a good hiding!

You've always taken her side...

...now lancu Vrabie is f***ing her!

Are you mad?

Don't talk back to me!

Where have you been?

To get lamp oil.

Where is it then?

They had run out.

Out of oil? Rubbish!

Let me tell you where

you were...

Getting laid by lancu!

Not even wearing underwear.

Dirty old man!

Shut up!

Don't touch me

or I'll set you on fire!

Well, I'm off to the store...

...to check they're out of oil.

If not, I'll make you drink some!

Sure! You're going to

the bar!

Shut up, woman!

No, I won't!

Come to Daddy,

my baby.

I made you when I was drunk...

...but you're gonna get

all my fortune.

The communists will get it.

Do you hear

how she speaks to me?

I could strangle her!

Go on Dad, go get drunk...

...and cheers to you and yours.

My little girl...

Daddy's beautiful

clever little girl!

Lucky guy,

that lancu Vrabie to get you.

You slut!

Leave her alone.

Don't bother cooking tonight Fira...

...you'll be drinking lamp oil.

Both of you!

And put that one to work...

...not even fuckable.

God damn you, old fooll

Shame on you.

Good morning, father-in-law.

How's everything?

Fine, fine.

Go to hell.

It's better in heaven...

- Good morning, Gogonea.

- Hello lancu.

Gogonica, come on Sonny.

Hey, there's a screw loose.

Really, where?

You're the one with

a screw loose.

A**holes!

Squadron, halt!

Comrades, what do we want?

We want peace not war!

Peace be with you.

Hi Dumb Man, how are you?

Hey, Uncle Vrabie!

What's up?

What have

you two been up to?

We were checking the corn

in Aschie's field.

Did Mara Aschie

happen to be there?

She was indeed.

Why aren't you straight with her?

If you're already involved with her,

marry her!

These are no times

to get married.

Sile, what

do you think?

I wouldn't get married

either.

But then,

who would have me?

Where are you going?

To town,

to sell what's left of the quota.

Is Mom home?

She is...

...she's praying

to the icons.

But they don't listen.

Come on, gee up!

Hi Mom.

Go to the store.

I've just been there.

We're out of lamp oil.

Isn't Dad in town buying it?

If we relied on

that mean bastard...

...we'd die in the dark.

God forgive me.

Sile!

Miss Marinela, it's easy.

You attach a dynamo

to the wheel...

...the dynamo has two wires...

...attach a light bulb

and we'll have light in the village.

Ulcior, four more all round!

Comrade Coriolan...

...the light comes from

the East.

When they want us to electrify,

we'll electrify.

You'll electrify your dick!

That's about it!

That's about it!

If only you'd electrify it!

Coriolan.

You don't impress me with

your war medals and college degree.

Give that to me.

Ulcior...

...another plum brandy

and a lemonade.

The time has come

for those without education.

We've served you for too long.

Look Gogonea,

you and your father.

weren't even good

at being servants.

Good for nothings!

Do you think

gambling away your land...

...makes you an intellectual?

I didn't go to school,

and look what I've become!

Well, I did go to school

and look what you've become!

Shut the f*** up. You don't know

what you're talking about.

I've been

too good to you.

What are you doing, you monkey?

Scram!

Whoever wants to join the Party

can find me at the Town Hall.

Right away!

We're all coming!

What's he saying?

He'd like to join the party.

But he'd rather join your mother!

Well, I'll show you lot!

Gogonica,

come over here to your uncle, rascal.

Auntie's not for you.

Did you like the brandy?

Shout

"Daddy is the Russians' slave"...

...and I'll give you some more.

Daddy is the Russians' slave!

Louder!

Daddy is the Russians' slave!

That's my boy,

get under the table.

Where's the bar?

Over there.

Is the President in there?

I'm the President.

Voicu Gogonea?

Yes?

I'm Sandu Prastie...

...the Regional Cultural

instructor.

I'm with the cinema caravan.

On Saturday evening,

you are scheduled to watch a movie.

Stop the engine,

I can't hear you.

Come again?

Stop the engine,

I can't hear you.

No, it won't start again.

First there'll be a news bulletin...
