The village is deeply divided between able-bodied men that are potential army recruits and the many disabled veterans from the previous Balkan wars; there is bitter animosity between the two groups, who do not intermingle much with each other even though they live in the same village.

between our two countries

is going smoothly...

despite the overwhelming

cultural differences.

- Pay your countryman.

- Afraid it's your turn.

We're at loss, again.

You Serbs are getting flash...

Almost like Gypsies!

Welcome to our country.

We wish you a pleasant stay.

St George, shoot them, too.

See you around, Gavrilo.

- Take it!

- If I may, now...

Go!

Come back when you graduate.

- Serbia needs scholars.

- And books with pictures!

Jinx!

What's your name?

Princip. Gavrilo Princip.

Take care, namesake.

There goes your namesake,

without paying!

I'll take care of that.

Don't!

Zoja-man pay for him.

My treat.

Good luck, jinx.

Gavrilo, what's that?

Who ordered this?

- Zoja, what's in the box?

- Not for Zoja-man.

Dead.

I knew it. Jinx!

Frogs. Silent.

Gavrilo...

Is this that cinema

you were talking about?

Doesrt look good.

Small mirror... small jinx.

Big mirror...

Archduke Franz Ferdinand visits Sarajevo

I'm sorry... Excuse me...

Sorry, could you please...

Daddy, look!

Why don't you use a rod,

like a normal person?

This is modern fishing...

American-style!

Vane!

Orphan!

Don't let our lunch get away!

Look at that ungrateful little prick!

If you don't like this work, we can

send you back where we found you!

Begging in the street!

What's wrong with you?

Doesrt warm your heart

to see the boy play?

No.

- Another trairs overturned.

- It's upside down, drunkard!

Pass it oVer. Zoja!

If you grow into a dragon,

I'll have to kill you.

But if you stay a frog,

we'll be friends.

Orphan! Vane!

The whole village is weeping

Only my Smilja's sleeping

Let her sleep

Let her sleep

I'll show you,

you crippled f***er!

Of all the houses, you want to fiddle

in front of mine?

Let the cripple sing

if he can't play.

- Come to the Normal Tavern.

- Thanks, I'm in a hurry...

- Got some business.

- I won't beat you, like the others.

I'll scorch you like a pig!

Crippled punk!

Come in here,

to the Normal Tavern!

You sang in front of his house.

No! Maybe I was humming...

to myself.

- I sing all day long...

- Don't you sober me up!

I can walk by any house,

singing, humming...

If I ever catch you singing

around my house...

the next song will be

at your funeral, you reject f***!

Good morning, madam.

Two of you

against a man on crutches?

- Are you all right?

- Madam...

I saw you, and it was like

an angel looked at me.

He was... singing

outside my house, to my wife.

Such faith in the power of music.

How touching!

If a cow dies, they say I stole it

and put it in a painting.

They think I've cursed the village.

Do you think so too?

Before I met you...

I had both arms.

A boy who didn't know what to do

with them in my company...

If there was a medal for smuggling,

each of your peasants

would've got one!

Invalids, sir. Some have medals

from the war. Real ones.

Nice for people

who like to parade their ornaments.

This time we'll melt everything

into bombshells.

There'll be no iron left

for such trifles.

Glory awaits us, Sergeant.

Yes, sir.

That fine lady will be the death of him.

Mark my words.

Spit in my mouth

when you're the sickest.

Gavrilo... happy!

- Zoja-man happy too.

- Get out of here!

I can't work with this sh*t.

So?

When is your wife's baby due?

In a month, God willing.

Nice.

So you'll have two babies this year.

Let's drink to that.

Let's drink to that.

You're too late, gendarme!

You're too late, gendarme!

Now what?

Nothing.

We've done all we can.

- Does the gendarme know?

- My husband's my business.

- Does the gendarme know?

- My husband's my business.

Leave my business to me,

like you always did.

I'm going back to Belgrade next week.

To my family.

You'd leave your husband and home?

What husband? What home?

What husband? What home?

Why do you think I came

to this pit of misery?

- Wait a minute.

- I'm waiting. Now what?

Will you tell your wife?

No. You won't.

Now hear me out.

When you were a cadet in Belgrade,

you were in my house every day.

When you were a cadet in Belgrade,

you were in my house every day.

You asked me not to go

and study art in Paris!

I drove you almost to the front line

in my father's car!

- You begged me to wait for you!

- And?

And what came back? What?

What came back? Answer me!

Is this the Gavrilo

you waited for?

Is this the Gavrilo

you waited for?

Who can I take care of like this?

Your wife.

She's not like you.

She does everything, like a man.

She lost her husband there.

Where I lost my arm.

I'm going.

What will you do now?

The Gavrilo I waited for would ask

what will we do.

Katarina!

Looks like someone beat him to it

and got his missus to safety.

- Your orders, sir?

- You're dismissed.

Wort you ask me where I've been?

No, just whether you know

where you are now.

No, just whether you know

where you are now.

In my wife's room.

You forgot to whip me,

mister Gendarme.

I...

I never loved you.

And I could never love you.

- I am...

- I know.

I know everything.

We won't make it before dawn.

- My brother is crazy.

- Mile!

You know love...

LoVe is nice, I saw it!

You know love...

LoVe is nice, I saw it!

If you werert my brother,

I'd smack you with the oar!

Hit Zoja-man.

Then you feel better!

I didn't do it, I swear!

I didn't do it, I swear!

Where's your grandson, old man?

I don't know.

And if I did, you know

I wouldn't tell you.

- So it's all the same to you.

- Tell him I'm looking for him.

- So it's all the same to you.

- Tell him I'm looking for him.

With a gun?

Who went across?

The regular crew.

Katarina?

What would she be doing with them?

Don't play games with this!

We shoot at anybody on the river,

so do they!

I understand why you shoot,

but why them?

You haven't heard?

A student assassinated Ferdinand.

F***ing Krauts!

They'll slaughter my children!

GaVro!

Let's drink

to the end of an empire!

Mile!

Gavrilo!

St George, please protect my children.

It's tragic when a grown man

loses his mind.

At least when I screwed around,

I did it with style.

You know love.

LoVe Very nice, I saw!

What, Zoja?

Gendarme... not happy. He think

she ran away with Gavrilo!

Gendarme... not happy. He think

she ran away with Gavrilo!

- Gavrilo happy! Zoja-man happy.

- Yeah, we're all fuckir happy.

What on earth have you done?

Hit me, brother.

Hit me, brother.

They killed all...

People... horses...

The music... all...

The music... all...

- St George...

- Did we pay in advance?

Shoot, St George!

They killed them all!

I knew it!

I knew I'd be f***ed

because of Serbs.

I knew I'd be f***ed

because of Serbs.

- F***, I paid in advance!

- Hush, pigs.

There! Don't waste your bullets

feeling sorry for them!

Don't shoot!

Don't shoot!

I want them alive.

Zoja-man dead!

- Hold on.

- Zoja-man dead!

Genuine gendarme bullet.

Genuine gendarme bullet.

Let me play for you, Zoja.

You'll feel better.

I won't!

Gavrilo!

Where's my wife?

Why ask me about your wife?
