maybe some cutlets...

Milk would be nice, too.

And marrow bones.

Good, good night.

Excuse me.

Look, I don't want

to make a fuss.

I understand the situation...

The loss.

You don't know

how much I understand.

Keep these and buy

something nice for Karol, okay?

But I can't do that.

It's not mine.

-Whose is it then?

-No idea.

But I can't keep it myself.

Mr Littmann,

I know how you feel.

I often think about you.

What you're going through,

what you must suffer.

I want you to know

that I'll be happy to help.

We're human.

We must help each other.

-I can't take something that isn't mine.

-You do not have to fear me. Not me.

You have lost some trust.

But it doesn't have to be that way.

I'm on your side.

Your and Karol's.

-Excuse me, but...

-Contact me at any time.

With confidence.

How about coming to lunch?

You and Karol?

-It would be a pleasure.

-Perhaps.

Very well.

And Karol should look at

exercise 6, lesson 17.

-Goodbye, Mr Littmann.

-Goodbye. -And goodnight!

-We could kill her.

-For me'? -For us all.

What's your problem?

She likes you.

-No, my dad. She's all over him.

-She's chatting up your dad?

Can a teacher screw a parent'?

Isn't that illegal?

They're not screwing.

Hello.

Karol?

Is someone here?

Good evening.

-Im sorry, I thought you'd be home.

-Evening.

Karol has some problems learning,

so we're doing some extra classes.

-Thank you, you are kind.

-Well, you never came to that lunch.

Sit down.

It will be all right with Karol.

He's a clever boy.

The cake is from

Mrs Rehkov.

She's a good soul.

Keeps bringing me things.

I was admiring the telescope.

Karol will follow in your footsteps, right?

You must miss astronomy.

The observatory, the stars... Right?

It's mostly mathematics. Measurements.

People tend to idealise.

It must be hard, giving up

something so interesting.

Your scientific work. To know so much

and not be able to use it...

I don't think it's right.

It's not fair.

It's not your fault

what happened.

Don't take this wrong,

but I can't understand

how a woman can do that.

Leave her family, her husband, her child...

Don't be angry

with me for saying this.

I don't have children.

I wanted them so much...

My husband and I

thought we'd adopt one.

A boy like your Karol.

I lost my child very early.

In the third month...

Excuse me.

-I don't know why I'm telling you this.

-That's all right.

I brought you some borscht.

My husband loved it.

Do you like borscht?

With meat, sour cream...

-Im sorry, but...

Oh, come on. You must be hungry

after all those windows.

There's fresh beetroot.

Mrs Vojckov gave me some.

Here you go.

She's a very nice person.

When she gives me something,

I'll call you.

-I wouldn't do that.

-Why?

MY Phone is tapped.

Tapping your phone...

What is hostile about you?

You're the one who stayed.

The one taking care of the boy.

I'll write a report

that you're taking

excellent care of your son

that you're making sure

he's active in the youth organisation

and I'll send it to the right places.

I know people.

One thing is clear.

You should make

your position clear.

What position?

You should apply for a divorce.

Eat or it will get cold.

Excuse me, but Viera, my wife...

She's top of her field.

She gave everything to her studies.

Graduated with honours.

She became head researcher at thirty.

In my field, I was a foot soldier.

She's a general.

The best.

There was no room

for her here.

So she had to go.

Is that an excuse?

She traded family

for a laboratory.

And they moved you from

the academic district to this dump.

That's awful. Taking revenge

on defenceless people.

Forgive me, but that's what this flat is.

Revenge.

How about taking a job

as a caretaker at our school?

I'll talk to the head teacher.

She owes me.

The job comes with

an apartment.

Karol could walk to school

in his slippers.

In time, you could open

an astronomy club.

Your own little observatory

for children from our school.

You already have a telescope.

-Where can I sign?

-You're not signing.

Why not? Anyone can

give their opinion.

-I hope you won't.

-I'm not a parent.

-I must talk to my son. I didn't know...

-So you didn't know?

Then you were not misused.

So please keep quiet.

-Sorry, but I don't have...

-Then be quiet.

-I want to sign the complaint, okay?

-Who's harming you?

We know about

your relationship with her.

-What?

-You know what.

-She favours your son.

-Wait, wait...

-Do you then admit that some children...

-This does not concern you.

-So stay out of it.

-But you just said so.

Mr Littmann wants to sign,

so let him sign.

They have a measly

five signatures.

I didn't want to get involved,

but I'm writing a petition

to defend the unjust

slandering of a good person.

-Which person is that'?

-Very amusing.

Come on, people.

It's not rocket science.

We all want the best for our kids.

-When did you need to leave?

-What? -The hospital.

You should be ashamed,

Mr Littmann.

She pleaded for you

despite our objections.

-I feel sorry for your son.

-I warned you.

You decided for him.

Goodbye.

Before you leave, there is

one more thing you should know.

The performance of kids taught by

Mria at secondary school exams

is without any doubt significantly worse

than the results of her colleagues.

Her success rate is less than 15 percent,

compared to our school average of 40-50%.

Unfortunately,

those are the figures.

We'd like to withdraw our signatures.

There's too few of us.

I would sign, but I can't

decide for the parents.

Let's close this, then.

Thank you all

for coming here.

This concludes our meeting.

We must deny all initiatives

in this matter.

We received information from some parents,

presented it to the other parents...

And determined it was false.

That's the end of it for me.

It was our duty. Now you need to

raise her salary, give her some bonuses...

Screw this.

No time to play heroes.

Come in!

Mrs Krlov and I

have decided to sign.

We all stood by you.

Doctor Nemec, judge Malinovsky,

Mr Bna, Ambrozov,

the Hampl couple... Simply everyone.

Or they kept quiet. Those people

can't hope to achieve anything.

-So no one else joined?

-No, just the Kuceras, the idiot Binder...

And that cripple,

what's his name. The invalid.

Rehk?

But he didn't sign.

-But at first he did.

-Alenka's father?

I don't get this at all.

He was so eager.

The shopping was his idea.

I would never dream

of asking anything like that.

You can relax. When he saw

they were alone, he took it all back.

So no one else dared?

There was the father of the new kid.

But I think he was under pressure.

Mr Littmann?

That can't be.

Why would he sign

anything like that?

With these people,

you never know what they think.

Of course. Fora while,

I thought it was all his idea.

Until he moved in,

everything was fine.

I must admit

I feel hurt.

That the head teacher

would allow this.

If you saw her face
