BRAIN

As you know, the patient arrived in a life-threatening condition.

The cerebral shunt connecting the brain to the peritoneal cavity,

placed in his brain after his accident, has stopped working.

After all, it was installed nearly 20 years ago.

We're missing most of the documents from your father's accident.

I don't suppose you have them?

No, I don't think so.

My parents separated after the accident.

Yes, unfortunately, this is quite common in patients with frontal lobe lesions.

What about your mother?

Would she know where he's been?

My mother's dead.

I see

Well...

Due to the hypoxia,

your father is suffering memory problems.

Unfortunately, you can expect him not to recognize you.

Especially since you haven't seen each other for so long, have you?

He hasn't recognized any visitors yet.

Not even his present wife and sons.

As soon as the swelling goes down,.

we'd like to put another shunt in your father.

This should improve his condition.

Your father's wife has given permission for the operation.

We hope to do it in a few days,

but for now, we're fighting against arrhythmia and the risk of a heart attack.

So, we'll have to wait for now.

Wait and see.

All right?

Thank you.

*incomprehensible murmur*

Alarm, alarm...

...someone ran down the stairs... and silence.

one, two...!

Alarm, the city...

Ruins everywhere, rubble...

...rubble...

One, two, three, a series of bombs!

the city floats...

under the bombers... falls to the bottom of my heart.

I raise the alarm for the city of Warsaw,

I raise the alarm for the city of Warsaw...!

Hello.

Give me a drink.

What time is it?

3:24

Mika...

Please take me home.

Take me home

You have to stay here for now.

I have to go now. Goodbye.

HEART

You can see it clearly here.

The valve that evacuates excess fluid from the brain

to the abdomen.

Damage to the frontal lobe can affect the patient's emotions.

So your father may be apathetic,

or suddenly excited, or aggressive.

Sometimes in an exaggerated way.

He can't control it completely.

Here you can see the past wound.

I'll zoom in.

Hello, Mika?

It's dad...

Maybe you could come see me today?

I don't know anyone here.

I don't talk to anyone.

Hello, Mika?

Perhaps you'd like to come and see me?

I've already called...

Do you think?

Maybe we could meet?

And have a chat?

Maybe...

Maybe...

you'd like that?

Hello, Mika!

Could you...

...come here after school?

Come and visit me?

Found you!

Hey.

Hey.

- Hi - Hi

It's been a few years, hasn't it?

Yes, it has

Fifteen years!

Wow, fifteen...

What would you like to drink?

I'm going to get some water

How are you?

Have you been in Warsaw all this time?

Yes, yes, always in Warsaw.

And what happened to your father?

The shunt they put in his head stopped working.

Oh yes... the accident...

Well, I...

Wish him well for me. I hope he gets better soon.

Thanks.

And how are your parents?

Not too bad

Give them my best too.

Do you still see people from class?

No... Not really...

I don't really have time...

Sometimes I see Karolina in the neighborhood.

I don't really see many people. I've got a lot of work on.

I understand.

I was thinking today...

how much we used to go bike riding together.

Yes...

We did, a bit.

What are you doing now?

I'm in transport... I mean, I've got a company

We drive around Europe. Well, my guys do... but me...

I kind of stay in the office.

Aw, sorry, I've got to take this call.

Smyczka, yes?

Yes!

Do you know that you were my first love?

Really.

I imagined that...

that we'd live together,

work, go to work,

go on vacation.

Is it Thursday today?

No, Monday.

But weren't you coming on Thursday?

Yes, but I'm here on Monday.

Maybe your operation is Thursday.

Do you remember your operation?

I do.

What time is it?

It's 4:21 p.m.

Why are you writing it down?

Just so I know. In case anyone asks.

BLOOD

When I was small,

We lived in a house right next next to the railroad tracks.

And when our parents went out sometimes,

we stayed in the house, alone.

And Mom used to tell us that if a thief came in at night,

We had to stay still,

stay quiet in our bed,

pretend to be asleep, not moving at all.

Then at night,

as soon as something creaked,

we were absolutely terrified.

We lay there, our hearts pounding our eyes tight shut,

And sometimes that fear would keep me awake all night.

Until they came home.

You know you used to lie like that too.

Whenever you were anxious,

you'd lie down quietly, with your eyes closed.

Completely still.

The other children were screaming or crying

but you just lay there.

And one of us had to come

and give you a hug.

Just like we did back then.

But how would you have known that?

Yes, your aunt already called me,

she'd already paid for mass in her church

...to heal your father. Did she call you too?

And now: what? We'll have to go to the other end of town.

God forbid we'd not come! She'll say...

we don't care, we're bad...

but she doesn't even know:

that maybe...

maybe I paid for a mass to heal your father in my church?

And maybe...

your father has been offered two masses? And two is better than one, isn't it?

Feeling better?
