Réveillon (A máme, čo sme chceli)

I hereby resign as President

of the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic.

It was born from the ashes of the First World War...

Two separate countries...

We walked together for 74 years, two months, and two days.

We will go on alone, but we believe

that Czechs and Slovaks will always remain brotherly nations.

12/31/1992 BANSKA BYSTRICA LAST DAY OF CZECHOSLOVAK FEDERATION

It was sweltering hot in there.

What an ambiance in that church...

You insist on staying outside? It's nice and warm inside.

We'll go in together when Peter returns.

Suit yourselves. I'll wait with Grandma.

Praised be Jesus Christ!

Forever and ever, Mrs. Dolinova.

Excuse me, Mrs. Horakova. I didn't recognize you.

You're having an outdoor baptism?

What a disgrace.

It won't be a disgrace.

It will be a shame.

I hope he's okay.

He'll explain it when he comes back.

And at least now we can baptize her as a citizen of Slovakia.

I just heard, "The Varchals are having an outdoor baptism."

Darling, I hope you'll make a nice drawing of all of us,

freezing our butts off, so we can show it to your daddy.

Let's have cake.

It's not a crime to wait inside.

We're not baptizing without Peter.

I didn't want to disturb you before the baptism, but...

You wanted me to let you know as soon as I got it.

I was told it's everything there was.

There should be no other records.

How did you get it?

It's in God's and your hands now.

"Bear with each other and forgive one another,

if any of you has a grievance against someone.

Forgive, as the Lord forgave you."

- Colossians. - 3:13.

Who won?

It's a quote from the New Testament.

It's my first time as a godfather. I prepared...

Okay. Since we're not baptizing, we're free to wait at home.

So Zuzka doesn't catch cold here.

- Let's go, it's cold. - Go look for the first lady.

What is that?

Unbelievable! A bug.

It almost crawled up my leg.

Hello!

Wake up. Hello?

There is a bug in your bathroom. It crawled up my leg.

Girl, I don't understand a word you're saying.

- Three, two, one... Go! - Need any help?

No need, we can handle it.

Three, two, one...!

Release the handbrake! Press the clutch!

Come on!

Will this Oldrich guy ever marry our Bozena?

Why wouldn't he?

Viliam and I were also a Czechoslovak couple.

It's not about the nationality.

What is it about, then?

It's about love, a relationship...

Well... we were a Czechoslovak love.

Jesus!

It's 12 p.m., and we are less than 12 hours

from the last New Year's Eve in the history of Czechoslovakia.

Be cautious with fireworks tonight,

to avoid hand injuries.

I'm sure that no one wants to end up in the hospital.

This is the last night for Made in Czechoslovakia fans.

Thank you.

I'm wondering, where might Peter be all this time?

Missing his child's baptism might even be a sin, right?

Don't you worry, it's not a sin.

Get undressed yourself. You're a big girl.

And if they split you up?

When you're put in heaven and he goes to hell.

- Mrs. Amelia? - Yes?

My mother sends her regards and this bilberry jam.

Thank you so much! Blueberries!

Viola will make a blueberry cake for the New Year.

Violka! Look at this. Blueberries.

My love, I'm not 20 anymore.

I'm not even 25.

But those were the years.

I wouldn't go back for the world.

You know that I would, if I could.

- If the soup is as good as last year... - Better. Much better.

Don't bug me here. Do I sniff around your clinic?

Go find a place to sit.

But I don't have a clinic anymore. I'm retired.

But you can come to my place for a routine check anytime.

You shouldn't neglect that.

Like a naughty little boy...

And watch the crumbs.

Go sit down.

Here's our little angel.

She'll be a proper angel after we have her baptized.

Where the heck is Peter? And Michal?

If he doesn't miss the bus, he'll be here in no time.

He'd better be.

He's got a black mark in my book for missing Christmas.

Peter wasn't at home either.

But they were giving birth.

But Michal was just running around, God knows where.

- He was doing a survey. - Of what?

Whether people are excited or dismayed by the dissolution of the republic.

I told him we should all be together for Christmas.

How about we warm up a bit?

We're drinking already?

Good idea.

Don't worry. He'll show up.

I know.

But it's not just that.

I'd hoped she'd be baptized by now.

I'd hoped...

that they'd finally make peace.

So far, we're zero for two.

Well...

Varchal men have a hard head...

but a soft heart.

One has to watch them.

I'm breastfeeding.

And it's not for you but on your behalf.

Cheers.

And now for myself.

We instantly feel better, don't we?

Daddy?

He's your son. You don't have to be afraid of him.

Exactly.

You two meeting tonight is a good step forward.

I just... don't know where to start.

You used to play chess together at Christmas.

You could be alone for a while. I'm sure everyone would understand.

- We haven't had a match for a long time. - Because he hasn't been around.

I'll play the winner afterward.

Help me set the table, would you?

I love you.

Hello!

Who died?

Michal brought his girlfriend.

Tana! Tonight's going to be fun!

Mikey!

- Hi, Mom. - Hello.

Oh, the young man visiting family.

You missed the baptism, you know.

I got on the first bus home.

Wasn't there an earlier bus?

No.

Amalka, come on.

Come here.

I've missed you at Christmas.

This is Charlie, my girlfriend.

Amalie.

Good evening. Happy New Year.

She is frozen through and through.

She can't even talk.

Granny, she's from Canada.

- And? - She doesn't understand.

- I see. - She doesn't understand.

I'm Mikey's mom.

You should have told us you'd be bringing company.

Her feet are completely bare.

It's colder over there. She isn't cold here, right?

Thanks for the explanation.

I'm going to the kitchen.

- May I? - Of course.

Hold her head.

Jesus, you are beautiful.

No, no. She wasn't.

- She wasn't? - She wasn't.

Why?

Peter decided to play out the old Houdini trick. He disappeared.

- Hello, Mikey. - Oldo, hi.

Good evening.

Don't bother with the Slovak. I'm no good at it either.

You speak French?

I learned a bit in high school. I just wasn't sure you'd understand.

Do I hear a multi-national conversation?

The entire world came to witness the divorce of our two nations.

With a smile, gently. In a civilized way.

Pleasure.

I'm a gynecologist.

You speak French?

When love appears, reason remains silent.

When love appears, reason remains silent.

I know, Karel.

- You speak French? - No, but you're always saying it.

You've found yourself a beautiful woman.

A promise for the future.

How come you and Karel never got married? Clearly there's chemistry.

We are a modern couple.

I couldn't marry a man who's been staring between women's legs for 50 years.

The thanks a man gets after 50 years of service.

Bringing new life into this world.

And now, I'm persona non grata.

You're supposed to fold the napkins into a triangle.

- Since when? - Since always.

But now we are at our place, and we do it this way.
