Love in the Countryside (Dragoste la țară)

-We'll talk. -Bye, sweetheart!

-Hello. -Hello.

Can you help me with something?

Who, me? My family would die if I have time, not even to breathe!

Well, do you know how they chase us? Like horse thieves!

And with what money? Well, isn't it normal that people go abroad to work?

Maybe I'll take an hour, a short medical leave, but I don't know what to say.

Two at most, because there's no manager here today. That's it.

Wait a minute, ma'am. I'm going to tear up my employment contract.

I'll be right back!

What a free day today!

-Is that all? -Yes.

I told you, miss, that the pink purse wouldn't fit!

He caught you with air in your lungs.

-That was the last one. Cash or card? -Card, please.

-Insufficient funds. -What?

How much is it?

Give me what you've got, granny!

Hey, go get your dad, because you're definitely tricking me again.

What, am I going to haggle with you? Do you think I'm your customer, man?

If you're going to have a stroke, what am I going to put on the table?

-One fifty per egg, like everyone else. -One fifty? My goodness, my sins!

Hey!

Give me five eggs.

There are five.

And check the money, because I don't have my glasses, okay?

Exactly, seven and a half!

Look at Mihai Viteazul, see? With his long hair.

The receipt?

Don't lock the gate, I'll come today and bring it.

-I don't have any ink. -If you don't have ink!

That's how you do it, you're haggling over an egg!

And when you die, people hang themselves at the store because of your debts.

Nan, be aware!

-Your wallet. -Oh my, thank you, man!

Others would have robbed you. There are all kinds of people.

-She saw you, old woman… -Adriane! Come here, man!

Hey, Dad, come see what a beautiful calf the cow has given birth to.

-It's a marvel. -Really?

Look, Dad, these cows too. They're souls too, man.

They give birth, they love each other. Move over so I can see.

No, go put your gloves on, because you really need gloves.

-Come on, put them on quickly, please. -Wait a minute, man!

Oh my God! Hurry up, she's about to have another one!

What do you mean? So what if we have two…

I think the calf could die, without my gloves, right?

Come on and enjoy it.

Come on, man.

Come on, Dad, see the miracle of birth.

Well, don't be so fussy, pull the gloves up to your elbows!

-Oh my! -Pull now, don't you understand?

Oh my, spit a little in my palm.

Don't wipe it off on that shirt, your mother will kill you!

What do I care about my shirt now? Come here and help me, it's too big!

Put your hand in it and pull, you hear me?

How did he do it, man, where do two go?

-The calf is dying, pull, damn it! -Don't ever call me again!

Please, please, don't scream!

It's still 5,000 euros. Can't you manage with that for a month?

A month? I thought it was for a week!

Why the hell did you have children if you can't take care of them?

My girl, it's a lot of money.

I can't give you large sums anymore because you've bankrupted me.

SOS FOR CHILDREN

Look, 6,000, would that be alright?

-Hey, man, leave me alone, will you? -What are you doing there?

None of your business. You give money to your mistresses and I don't have any.

Come on, playtime is over.

You're begging me to give you money? You won't get any more!

Pack your bags right now and go to your granny in the village

to see how those children live there and maybe you'll come back without complaints.

Man, you deserve to be arrested!

You're lucky that you're my father and you gave me life!

Pack your bags!

Man, are you high?

THE TICKET WILL BE 60 CENTS FROM MONDAY

Hey! What's with that chicken over there?

You should also bring the cow in the bus.

Miss! God, you put yourself in the emergency seat here!

In case of an emergency, can you help the team?

What emergency?

For example, someone gets drunk around here.

Will you help him downstairs, so he doesn't make a mess in here?

Stay there! Who the hell is going to pick you?

Matcha?

-That's the girl of… -She's with the guy of…

-She living next to… -No, man, that's not her!

It's the one from medical school.

Who hangs out with the guy with the Jaguar.

-Her father owns the bread factory. -Is she Mircea's sister?

-No, man, that's not her. -Hey, anyway, she's really hot.

Yeah!

-I think she's pink somewhere. -She's pink and beautiful.

-She's burgundy, that's right. -She's indigo.

-Is she indigo? -Yes.

Where have you heard that before?

Here, man, you check her neck.

-Is she indigo? -Are you stupid?

It's Veta's, guys! His dad has a lot of money.

That's Ana!

Ana, the one who used to come here.

She lives in Bucharest now, maybe a student.

Well, she's pretty, but… her mother when she was young, she was really beautiful.

Man, she was crazy about me! She always came around when we were younger.

You guys played in the yard all day.

Of course, she always came! She's crazy about me!

Get the hell out of here, you idiot, is she looking at you?

What does she see in you, can't you see what you look like?

Hey, we'd better play rock, paper, scissors.

Whoever wins gets her.

-Yes, well done, man. -Yeah, man, yeah.

But be careful.

Let's play rock, paper, scissors and that's it.

Yes, man, let's do it like that, okay?

It works. Come on, I had nothing to do at home anyway.

You're out, man.

You're out.

You've hypnotized us.

Anyway, I was the most entitled to hang out with her!

I think you're forgetting that I… had semi-sex.

Experience wins.

Come on, let me be brave.

My beautiful granddaughter has arrived, let me see you.

Come here, let me kiss you.

Oh my, how big you've grown since I last saw you!

And so modern…

-Tell me, what's the Wi-Fi password? -What's that?

The Wi-Fi password. On your phone.

Zero, zero, zero, zero. Like when your battery runs out?

Never mind.

Give this food to the pigs. Throw it over the fence.

Me?

You disgusting pigs!

Why don't we catch him with anything?

He's not doing anything now, you see? You think he steals something every day?

Man, I'm really onto this guy.

This kid has no limits. He only causes problems for people.

Look, he's been stealing wood from me for about two winters.

But I had nothing to catch him with!

He's been selling me wood for two winters! Do you know how cheap he sells it?

You have to wait for him to make a mistake.

Maybe you can provoke him into violence, he fights around the village.

No chance, those guys stick together. We need something else…

I'll do it. I'll do it somehow!

-What sandwich you have? -Chicken.

Aunt Veta!

Damn you, go to hell!

Hello! Is Aunt Veta home?

Yes, she's home!

-What do you want, boy? -Hello, Aunt Veta.

Grandma said to take those over there.

-Why are you leaving them there? -"Those"?

Those ones… you'd better call her, I don't know.

Yes, okay, I'll call her. What are you doing with these, girl?

Didn't you say to feed the pigs?

Give them here, damn you, you're good for nothing!

Do you still recognize me?

We used to play together as kids.

I don't remember anything about that. Luckily.

When I fell into the well and you told me I was stupid!

-But you said it like that… with a hint. -What do you mean?

Hey! Go help Ana.

Back there with the manure, since you're here anyway.

If you ever need anything, just call me at the gate and I'll be here.

Look what a hard-working boy. And handsome too!

Give me your phone so I can get on Instagram.

Here.

Are you deaf? The phone, not the remote!

This is my phone.

It's simple. You take the shovel and this is the manure.

You take the manure, scoop it up with the shovel and put it in the bucket.

Like this.

I got some signal, I'll go on Instagram and come back after, yes?

TODAY IS FOR FREAKY STUFF

-Who's the boy? -A stupid peasant.

Really? I've seen other stupid peasants and they're not all alike.

Where, on the bus? He's the mayor's son.

-Don't you have anything to do at home? -No.

-You mean, leave? -I mean, leave!

-More rare. -Beef-mutton.

-But without beef. -And no mutton.

-What did you do, man? -It's tough with the girls from Bucharest!

You think it's like with these ones around here, the village champions?

We're not even allowed in Bucharest, man!

-Why? -Why! Do you have a passport?

You need a passport to go to Bucharest.

-Hey, you're really stupid! -What did you do with her?

Man… She didn't say yes or no. I mean… I still have a chance.

-That's it, man. He took her. -He's asking for directions!

The mayor's son asking for directions? Logan, 2025. Gasoline, power windows.

-Power windows? -Yes, man, yes!

If his dad changes the school's roof you'll see him with a different car!

So what, is she looking at a Logan? She's from Bucharest!

How many of those has she seen! Would a Logan impress her? Is it 2025?

Watch out for that peasant. He's taking things from the yard.

What's he going to take? Grandma's crutch?

Are you from Bucharest?

Yes, my father sent me to stay here for a while.

Well, don't you get bored with all these fools?

I haven't talked to anyone, and I can't stand the cold anyway.
