Vlado!
- Wait for your brother. - Why?
Because I say so.
Faster!
Here you go!
Mom had no time to eat again.
Dano,
write the NATO that they should wait until we've eaten.
They know you shouldn't eat in the evening.
Don't tell me.
What do they know.
Damned NATO!
Good evening.
Hello, Nana, how are you?
What's up?
Nothing much.
Is your Albanian back?
A great father you've got!
He dropped you like a piece of garbage.
When will you get married?
Hello, Albanians!
You want our country?
Then learn our dances!
Ene, mene, miste,
It rattles in the box.
And you...
are...
it!
Step forward!
A last wish?
A request?
Perhaps a poem?
Please don't.
I have three small children.
Three small, little, little...
Pay attention: Our Anthem, second verse.
Go!
Second verse.
Second verse!
Damned is...
the traitor...
and his home.
You're hurt.
Five minute head start.
Go!
Albanian side, Serbian side.
I can't swim.
He can't swim!
Little fucker!
You're lucky you met me!
Such a nice guy.
A sweet man!
Take it.
I'm warning you,
next time I'll shoot you.
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
Amen.
I'm coming!
I know exactly where you are, Danilo!
Fooled you again!
Fooled again!
What should I do with Danilo?
You should see him.
In the choir they're all singing, but he keeps his mouth shut.
He's still not talking.
What are you looking at? You promised to stay with me.
I hate you with all my heart.
Oh great!
I know what you want.
Forget it!
I said no.
You're...
my...
sweety.
I'm...
your sweety.
Now I'll get you!
Get up!
You never stop, right?
Come on, catch me!
That's enough!
Come here, you!
Come here!
Now you're in trouble!
Stop it!
Enough!
Stop it!
Mama...
- Yes? - Who hurt the man?
I don't know.
Why did he come to us?
I don't know, sweetheart.
Why don't you call a doctor?
Ramiz Ferizi.
But he is Albanian!
Don't get your mother angry.
If you touch my kids, I'll kill you.
No elbows on the table!
First!
Why are you giving Papa's pajamas to the Albanian?
I just loaned them.
Because Papa is dead?
Dad isn't dead, he's in heaven.
Come.
Mama,
will the Albanian kill us?
Who knows if he survives the night.
And if he survives?
Don't worry.
Mama keeps an eye on him.
Now sleep.
If the pilot had sneezed,
the bomb would have fallen on us and we would all be dead!
What idiot parked his tank here?
They could have killed us all.
I suggest...
that we celebrate this day together from now on.
Agreed?
Vlado, don't touch.
Did you ever see a dead man?
Me neither.
Where are they taking them?
By plane?
Danilo!
Let them play.
I don't like it when they play war.
They only act as if they're playing war.
Sorry.
Danica...
- It's about your son. - Yes?
He's a good boy, but...
I only took him because you asked.
If he doesn't sing,
he should at least pretend.
He should open his mouth. A... o... i
You understand?
Danilo!
Here's another one.
Look.
Do you see how sharp it is?
You can see it better with this one.
They look the same. What are they?
Belgrade reports...
another bombing by NATO aircraft.
Again there were Albanian and Serbian civilian casualties.
Allegedly illegal ammunition was used.
NATO said, the bombing will continue until...
Milosevic stops the repression of Albanians.
That was such a big one!
You fell asleep smoking again?
Where's the big fish?
In the Black Sea already!
I've got to be going.
Thank you.
But not for cigarettes!
I stopped two weeks ago!
The money should be here by now.
Belgrade sends no pensions anymore.
I'm sorry.
How am I supposed to live? I have children.
- I'm entitled to it, understood? - I'm sorry.
We're all sorry.
Mama, the fridge is empty.
I know. I'll go shopping today.
Good morning.
I go shopping.
I took the money from your wallet.
Let's go.
Thank you.
Don't move!
- Where you going? - Across.
- Don't go. - Why?
Too dangerous.
They'll shoot you. Go back!
I don't want to see you here.
Hello, Vlado.
Hello, Fatso.
What's up?
Nothing.
You're not coming to school anymore.
They don't let you across?
He says they'll shoot us.
Do you have a bike?
Sure.
You want to ride with us?
Let's see.
Get away from my window!
Do you have the money now?
- Soon. - Soon...
If you wait too long, it'll be gone.
Then you can keep on dreaming.
I'll have it soon.
My mother had a nightgown like that,
with butterflies.
Thanks for not betraying me.
Shall I sleep in the kitchen?
No, it's fine.
Papa promised me a bike, then he died.
I remember that...
my father returned from a trip one time.
Sometimes he was gone for a month.
On that day he brought me a pocket watch.
The watch is the only thing I have left of him.
They should sit down, to get rid off the flies.
Cows can't sit.
- Why? - Because they're stupid.
And when they put on pants?
Kiki, Bobo!
Look who's here.
Papa!
- Who gave birth to you? - Papa!
- Not Mama? - No, Daddy!
Bravo!
Look after the children.
Who knows what they used to fire at the tanks.
I don't want to see you with the Albanian woman anymore.
- She doesn't belong here. - Patko, please!
I don't want you playing war! Is that clear?
Say something!
What took you so long?
I'm talking to you!
Vlado, get down!
Danilo!
Come to Mama.
What's the matter with you today?
Why are you alone, Vlado?
These are dangerous times.
Whatever you say!
Why would you ride on these broken streets?
- Where should we go? - Somewhere else.
To the Tour de France.
Let's count.
That's not enough.
What now?
I'll bring the rest.
When?
Tomorrow.
Tomorrow's fine.
Want some juice?
I have to earn money.
Yugoslav experts claim,
that NATO uses ammunition with depleted uranium,
which can cause malignant diseases at intense exposure.
These dangerous substances...
are released by the explosion...
and distributed by wind over long distances.
Mama!
Danilo stepped on a chicken.
Why did you come to us?
We have no basement, we have to go to the neighbor.
Their Albanian stabbed Maria's cousin.
Nana, come to us.
Nana, does your father kill innocent people?
Shut up!
Shut up now!
You and your shitty basement!
- Milena, where are you going? - What?
I'm here!
Here!
It's not that far.
And we... are here.
See?
Leave him alone, he's hurt.
- Good morning, sweetheart. - Good morning.
And here...
Italy, France and Paris.
The Tour de France.
They also bike through Germany, England.
The sea is there.
There's a tunnel under the sea.
Of course!
I know you're looking at me.
So it's true that women have eyes in the back?
Yes, they have.
When did your husband die?
One year ago.
Of what?
Of war.
Since then Danilo hasn't spoken one word.
Now the choirmaster wants...
that he opens his mouth.
Else she'll throw him out.
What song?
"My beautiful country".
When my neighbor's door would have been open,
would you now be sleeping in their bed?
Is she pretty?
She participated in the Miss Pristina election.
30 years ago.
Where were you?
I'm talking to you!
Hello.
Your dad and you like riding a bike?
Vlado!
Vlado, open the door.
Thank you.
My bag!
Well, kid?
What's up?
You got a cigarette?
Me?
I don't smoke.
Are you going to school?
No.
You can smoke but you can't go to school?
We are teachers, you know.
She teaches biology and I...
French.
Why French?
Thank you.
That's how it sounds if everybody is doing like you.
So nothing.
I don't understand you.
Do you want to sing or not?
That's it for today.
She has no idea.
I think it's great, that you don't sing.
Once you guys open your mouth,
you realize how stupid you are.
You can't help it.
What's wrong?
Are you sad?
What can we do?
Go, turn up the sound.
Goodbye.
Want some juice?
I'm in a hurry!
Careful!
Do you remember when I jumped from the bridge?
I flew like a bird!
This is a keepsake from my Fran.
And was she a truck driver?
This is worthless.
I'm not a gumball machine!
Can I have another?
Which one?
That one.
How are you going to pay?
With this and that of yesterday.
I know nothing about that.
I almost peed my pants.
I really don't know anything.
I gave it to you yesterday.
Certainly not to me.
Why are you acting dumb?
Don't shout, you're not at school. Get lost!
Give me back my money!
Get out!
- Here, your money. - Fat pig!
Vlado look, we got this from the students.
Why do they let you across?
Everybody loves us.
There are classes on both sides.
Dad and I trained there for the Tour de France.
I was there as well.
I was there all the time. The French pay well.
This is for you.
For me?
Come on, we're late.
Ciao.
Did it just show up?
Yes, just like that.
Where exactly?
At the bridge.
My mother has a picture, the woman looks like you.
She's on a chocolate box.
I looked at it every night.
My first girlfriend!
Put something on.
I'm not cold.
Where exactly do you live?
Do you know the town hall?
Near the hospital?
It's the third street on the left.
I gave birth to both sons there.
I haven't been on the other side for ever.
Are you married?
No.
Do you have someone?
No.
And I can't swim.
Really?
Sorry.
Dear Rosa...
Don't play with me.
Open the door, Danilo!
What's going on?
Let's try from the outside.
Danilo!
Come to Mama!
Come
My sweetheart.
Vlado, I'll kill you!
I think I saw Miss Pristina, and she saw me.
The conflict between the Serbian forces and the UCK is getting worse.
The Albanians, supported by the West,
are attacking numerous Serbian fronts,
but the most violent confrontations...
took place on the banks of the Ibar.
What took you so long?
I've been waiting for you.
Sorry, I wanted to buy a bicycle.
Such a beautiful river we'll find nowhere else.
We will miss it.
There's your bike.
It's old but has new tires.
It's a good bike.
I'm a danger to you...
and your children.
The situation is getting more and more dangerous.
If I stay they'll shoot us.
- I'm baking. Would you have... - No!
You know what my husband never was?
A coward.
Whatever you say.
My dad says you're an Albanian bastard.
I don't know what that means.
Me neither.
Come, children!
Well, kids!
Hello.
Mama, look.
What?
- Did you burn yourself? - No.
What is it? Come
We'll put ice on it.
- Does it hurt? - No.
- You sure? - Yes.
According to reports from Pristina...
two Serb soldiers were killed...
today and yesterday evening...
about 25 km from Pristina.
Two others were wounded.
It's difficult to have it verified.
Journalists trying to do research on site...
were stopped by men in black uniforms...
with an UCK insignia.
Today we heard...
heavy gunfire again...
of machine guns and various artillery.
Mama!
He didn't dare to go home.
Were you on the tank?
Take it out of his hand.
Throw it away!
Damn war!
You men and your wars!
A mother would never risk their child's life...
for a piece of land.
Well, Vlado.
Hello.
Good evening.
- How's school? - Super.
Say...
Do you have a new dad?
Which Papa is better?
The Albanian is not my father!
Nana?
Nana! Nana!
Let's see.
My sweetheart!
Danilo, you can't come.
Climb down.
Are you okay?
Mama, look.
What is it?
Mama, I got a headache.
Don't worry, sweetheart. Everything will be fine.
We'll be home soon.
Hello, Cevapcici!
Come Patko, it's hot.
Patko, where are you going?
Kiki is not doing well, Patko!
When is your birthday?
On October 31.
If we get lost,
we'll meet on October 31 at the Eiffel Tower.
I'm afraid of heights.
Wait...
You can't swim,
have acrophobia...
Now who did I meet?
Danica!
Stay here.
Hello.
Hello, Patko.
The neighbors say you're hiding an Albanian.
Then you know more than I.
"Then you know more than I".
Do you know what happens if you're not telling the truth?
Albanian!
Let me go!
This is my house!
I can smell two things:
snow...
and Albanians.
My sweetheart.
Jelena!
Get out, you old witch!
Do you know why your husband left you? Because you can't have any children.
Come out so I can see you!
Where are you, you old spy?
Jelena!
I thought you knew the sheep.
And the boy?
Boy or girl, no idea.
Some child crossed the bridge.
I didn't have a good look.
Hey, you.
How are you?
You look like your father.
My nose isn't as long.
Are you drunk?
Where is your brother?
Danilo!
A diplomatic solution is imminent.
Belgrade accepts the presence of UN forces in Kosovo.
Although NATO keeps denying...
that they used bombs with depleted uranium,
this contradicts it:
A German UN-soldier has said publicly...
that they had been ordered to not approach the tanks...
that had been bombarded by NATO,
because the ammunition could be radioactive.
The Serbian army claims that...
NATO has so far fired more than 1,000 inadmissible missiles.
There is great fear for health consequences...
as before in Bosnia-Herzegovina...
and the Middle East.
You're lucky we found you.
We need to...
avenge our friends.
We will avenge...
each and everyone.
Brother,
I met someone.
We'll show the Serbs...
the meaning of revenge.
The third street on the left after the town hall.
His name is Ramiz Ferizi.
I wrote it all down.
Sure thing.
I'm looking for this boy.
See you later, Ramiz.
Missing
What are you doing here?
Are you sick as well?
Danilo?
What do you think...
when you, me, Vlado and Mama,
go and live far away?
Wait here!
Now we can cross the bridge to go back to your mama.
Unfortunately I can't go on.
Go on your own. If they ask, talk. You can do it.
See you soon.
Say hi to your brother.
And give your mom a kiss from me, okay?
A Serbian soldier.
I hope a dead Serb soldier!
Wasn't that Danilo?
Mama!
Why is it so dark?
Where were you, dumb-ass?
That's from Ramiz.
My dearest...
I'm off.
Where is Vlado?
I don't know.
Vlado!
Where are you going?
To Paris.
Where?
Paris!
Did you sell your house?
Danica, please!
Don't you hate them as well?
With two children you have no time to hate.
