No, it suits you.

You like sewing that b*tch.

She says jump, you jump-

Doesn't anyone give a f***

what happened to the girl?

-Please watch your language.

-Im a working man, I speak plainly.

But I know what I'm saying,

if you like kissing someone's arse,

excuse me, buttocks, feel free.

-How can you allow this?

-Mr Binder, this is a school.

I almost forgot.

Feels more like a business.

-Please. -We know who you are.

-Come again?

-Don't pretend. -Say it.

-There's no need.

-We know who you are.

-Say it.

-We know your past.

-The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

-What the devil are you talking about?

-I can explain.

Mr Binder was sentenced

for violent criminal activities.

-Do you deny that?

-I don't and I couldn't.

This wanker who thought

he was untouchable, like you,

was rude to my wife.

So I kicked his pasty arse

-and now his meetings are stand-up.

-There are 30 witnesses here.

One more crude word

and I'm filing a complaint.

If he doesn't leave, I will,

and there will be legal consequences.

I will not be insulted.

Mr Binder, I have to ask you

to leave the room.

-No. -Didn't you hear her'?

-Yes, and I heard you twat.

-What did you say?

-I'm being honest, comrade.

We comrades value honesty.

Never mind me, comrades. Go on.

-Excuse me, where is the lavatory?

-I will show you.

Mria, this is your new pupil,

Karol Littmann.

Welcome. I've heard a lot about you.

The class is looking forward to you.

And this is Mr Littmann,

professor of astrophysics.

-I know. -Former.

-I know that as well. Pleased to meet you.

I'm sure we'll get on well with Karol.

I hear you draw well.

You're in luck, it's art class now.

Remain seated, children.

Just put your brushes aside

and pay attention fora while.

This is our Karol.

You may wonder why "our".

After all, you don't know him.

But he is ours.

Because he is from an incomplete family.

He only has his kind father

who is unfortunately all alone.

Now you may ask, where is his mum'?

Everyone must have a mum.

Not everyone. His mother went abroad

without saying goodbye and stayed there.

She betrayed our country,

our socialist regime,

but the worst thing of all,

she betrayed her Karol.

Now listen very closely.

No one is responsible for their parents.

No one can choose whether

their parents are good people or not.

Unfortunately,

his mum was a disappointment.

But that doesn't mean

he will remain all alone.

Because we will help him.

With everything.

-Let's promise we won't betray him!

-We promise.

-Could I go to the lavatory?

-Yes, go.

This way.

What a relief. These meetings.

I thought I'd burst.

I never miss this. Smoking in the loo.

It's pure nostalgia.

-Want one?

-I do, actually.

I quit, but I could use one.

Perfect. If the caretaker finds us,

it's off to the head teacher's office.

Listen, Mr Littmann...

I hope you don't mean to join in.

You have your own problems

and the teacher has been protecting you.

So some loyalty

would be in order.

-What do you mean?

-Don't pretend you don't know.

You don't know what the others will do.

Some can't trust their own wife.

I wouldn't go back if I were you.

Think of your son.

In any case, this will be over soon.

Excuse me.

If no one else has any complaints,

then I think we could finish here.

Yes, Mr Rehk.

You raised your hand.

I'm sorry, I know you're in a hurry,

but I have something to say.

I'm an invalid and my wife

is an accountant, so we don't make much.

We couldn't be very useful.

My wife sometimes baked a cake.

But I didn't like that our Alenka,

instead of being at school,

had to help comrade teacher

do her shopping.

I asked comrade teacher not to send

Alenka on errands around the city.

That I could stand in a queue for her

myself, since I'm an invalid anyway.

So we agreed on that.

But I don't like what I hear.

I'm wondering what Alenka's

grades would be if I didn't do it.

We don't really know

how our kids are performing.

And when I hear what happened...

It could have been us. Do you see?

My wife and I felt guilty, dishonest.

We thought we were the only ones.

-But you did it.

-Yes. That's what I'm saying.

So you should keep quiet.

We thought Alenka

didn't have a head for languages

but perhaps that is not true.

What a hypocrite you are.

First you profit out of it

and when the wind changes,

you twist it all around.

We can't give like others give.

Medicine or expensive things.

You know, every Thursday,

I woke up at six

to be first in the queue

when the shops open at 7:30.

And what do you want now?

Well...

If it is possible...

We would like to sign the complaint.

If we can.

-You can't be serious.

-Im not listening to this.

Excuse me,

but I really have to go.

-I'm needed at the hospital.

-Want a lift?

-I'm going that way.

-You are very kind.

I'm sorry, but I don't have

anything to add.

Try to see it from my perspective.

You know that I work at a decent hospital.

If someone asks for help, then I,

unlike you, am happy to oblige.

Would you say no

if you didn't mind?

See?

I'm sorry about your daughter.

But I know a great psychiatrist.

Call me. Goodbye.

Excuse me,

I would like to sign the complaint.

-Excuse me'?

-Where can I sign?

You of all people

want to complain about her'?

What a nerve.

It should be us complaining.

That our children

share a class with your son.

Excuse me?

First you let him trade

Tuzex vouchers, and now this...

One, two, three!

Go on, take them.

What are you doing?

Whose is this?

Empty your pockets.

You too.

All of you.

Put it here.

You too.

Empty your pockets.

-You brought a gun to school?

-What is going on'?

What is this?

Foreign goods vouchers.

Is this yours?

Leave. I will handle this.

Leave!

-The vouchers are yours too?

-No.

You really can't

bring this to school.

It's just a starter pistol.

Dad used to swim.

The boys wanted to see it.

Tell your father

to see me as soon as possible, okay?

You may go.

-Good evening, Mr Littmann.

-Good evening.

-I couldn't come earlier.

-That's fine. Did Karol tell you?

Come in.

Take your shoes off.

Here are some slippers.

-Come in.

-Thank you.

I have made coffee.

Please, sit down.

It can't be easy,

doing everything alone.

-Trust me, I...

-Did something happen? -Yes, it did.

Look...

Karol is a sensitive boy.

It must be very hard for him.

He wants to be part of the group,

and I do understand that, but...

See for yourself.

I apologise. He knows

he is not allowed to take it.

Well, boys and their guns.

I understand that.

My husband was a soldier.

But it's not allowed at school.

And this... What's this?

We'll let that slide.

He knows now that it's forbidden.

What is?

He can't be buying off

his classmates like that.

Go ahead, count them

to see if it's everything.

Excuse me.

I thought your wife sent some foreign

currency and you changed it for vouchers.

Yes, Drazdechov?

Mr Rehk...

Well, pick up some pt for me,
