Prometheus from the Island of Viševica

If they can't delay tomorrows meeting in the chamber, comrade Crnkoviæ should go.

Remind him.

Goodbye. Goodbye comrade director.

Hurry up Ðuro, my wife is waiting in the train. - Vacation?

No, just two day. I have some things to do.

Hotel company Marjan from Split has bought and redecorated one inn

near the fort.

It's estimated that next year in Dalmatia we'll get 1000 new beds with tourist build.

This year in hotels, camps and resorts, we had 3650 new beds.

It's evidently that results that tourism in Dalmatia have accomplished last season,

with experiences before the occupation, have bigger importance, because

they reflect possibilities and current problems of our whole tourism.

It's like in a cauldron.

What did the kids said? - What did they said... They cried of course.

I barely calmed down them and the aunt.

You forgot something? Yes, my pill, in the office.

No, no. They're here.

Thank you.

Leave all that please. Use these few days, and get some rest.

Should I close it? Is it draft? No, it's nice this way.

Did you see? Vjesnik is writing about you. About what?

About your celebration. Let me se.

Here.

There.

I'll have to be careful what I eat.

My liver is bothering me.

PROMETHEUS OF THE VIŠEVICA ISLAND

It's you.

I'm looking how deep it is. It's about 12 miles.

Get drunk commandant, we're not in the front

anymore. Kraut won't come from behind.

Don't, I told you, I can't because of my liver.

That's because he ran away from the sea. If he stayed here... look!

Works like a grinder. Did you show him? Easy, wait a minute.

Now you'll see something my friend.

This was near Grabinovac. Autumn 1942.

He remembers well. Of course he does.

How can Mate forget Viševica?

Let me see.

And which one are you?

Here, this one here.

Should we sing our song Mate? Which one?

Mate, you're home!

Mate! Mate, can it be?

After 17 years... Not me, film him comrade!

This is real heroic past of Viševica. Grgo, you're overreacting...

Shut up! Those are our stuff.

May are fallen comrades rest in peace. And all victims of fascist terror.

Rest in peace.

Bandit collaborators

founded first Partisan troop on Viševica island.

Mate, I found something.

Look.

It was by the wall.

They must've thrown it. It's rubbish.

Mate! Mate young one!

Come home, mother's child! Home!

Coming mother, just to get wet first.

Move over kid, move over.

Should I take it with me? Yes, take it.

Look, I found bottom!

You need something?

Nothing, we were passing by.

When was this memorial plaque posted?

Anica! Anica! I'm coming. They are asking about plaque.

When did they posted it? 1961. We just moved in.

Say... Are you from newspapers? No, we came for celebration. Goodbye.

Come in for a drink. We have good wine.

Thanks company is waiting for us. Some other time. Goodbye. - Goodbye. I'm sorry.

Your rock is swimming.

Did you saw? It was 14. You're lying.

Who's lying? Now I'll show you.

I'm so happy that you finally brought me on your Viševica.

- Boat, boat. - Vinko.

What? You don't know me? That's you. Comrade Mate.

Who could recognize you?

I'm driving tourists around.

Sorry but, Nice weather brought you here?

I came for celebration.

Well, it's good...

Will you, I'm sorry comrade Mate, drive around with your Mrs for a while?

Boat...

What are you saying Vinko?

We're not tourists.

Ok, have it your way.

What do you want Vinko? What do you want?

What do you want with that?

And who's this, I'm sorry? It's not important.

What's wrong? Nothing. Let's go.

I have to prepare speech for tomorrow.

Mate!

Mate, young one!

Come home mother's child! Home!

Comrade Mate, you won't remember me.

I'm Stipica, Marinka's son. Stipica!

I was a child while you were here. I'd like to talk to you. - What is it Stipica?

Hello. - Hello. - If you don't mind, I'll follow you for a while. - Alright.

I'm the president of the tourist board.

A group of us made a plan for Viševica development.

We have some misunderstandings. They don't realise what is future of Viševica.

Look Stipica, Grgo is organize some dinner in hotel tonight.

You will be there to I hope. We'll sit there and I'll see what I can do.

And now I would like to show Viševica to my wife. Bye. - Goodbye.

Just one more thing comrade Mate.

I imagined that Viševica plan as little bit at large.

And the say that it isn't realistic. That shouldn't be discussed at all.

And we have to.

Who's gonna move bishop? My mother says that who moves bishop,

everything he wants will be fulfilled.

What are you doing? Behind you.

Guards are doubled tonight.

We can't do it tonight.

It's bright like in daylight.

We have to!

You've lit them a nice candle heroes. Come on, get some drink.

Go one, take it, take it. I have plenty for you.

Are we done Grgo? It's time to get some rest.

We'll see each other tomorrow comrades. Goodbye, goodbye Mate.

Number five please. I have it. Comrade Mate.

Here.

I wanted to show you this. Ah, a model.

- I saw it Stipica. - I know.

I just wanted that you pay attention to location.

For airport. I saw it, I saw it Stipica.

You just prepare study like we agreed, then send it to me. Let's go.

- Good night. - Good night.

Will you do something for him? I don't think so. Who will give loans?

But tell him that. For them, Viševica is all that exists. There's no other world.

I think it's cute.

Hey Mate!

Shall we? Come on.

Where are we going? From one side of the dock to another.

Did you hear? They say it's going to be war. - Yeah, so what?

Let it come.

If it comes. Who knows... Who knows who will stay alive.

You're looking to high sonny.

Mind your work, it will be better for you.

Cvita is sick. She'll die.

Cvita doesn't have air. She'll suffocate.

I'm so poor and miserable!

Please saint, save us from sin and hellish spirit.

Kiss these holly candles Cvita, You'll feel better honey.

One should cry when the child is born.

Mate! Come in, come in. Father will be pleased.

Where is Niko Vesna? My sister is suffocating, I need Niko.

Cvita? What's wring with her?

I'll call Niko right now. Come in, don't stand here.

In the summer of year 1938

it was lit for the first time electric light in this house,

on the lonely island of Viševica.

And then disappeared our dark from Viševica.

In that name, for Zane Škoriæ, our prometheus from Viševica, cheers!

Do you see all these Gods goods?

House is full with air, just air. Niko Mrs, I need Niko.

I'm afraid... Diphtheria Mate. What do you think?

If we could be in the city, we would open throat, so air can come into trachea,

But here...

Here one should cry when child is born!

Something must be done! Understand? Must be! - And what Mate?

Careful that someone doesn't see you.

Workers of the world, unite!

And that's why we're bespeak to all workers, villagers and all intelligence

of our country 'embitter occupiers every moment on our ground.'

Blood has been shed, but not in vain!

It has been shed for new Viševica, bigger and

better than one that dark past has left us.

For Viševica that will have light in every house,

in every room! There will be light everywhere, everywhere! - Long live!

Don't justify to me my dear Mate.

If you stayed still, everyone would be alive at the end of war.

And your father, and your mother, and everyone else.

Maybe without all that glory, but with heads on their shoulders.

This way... look what Germans have left us.

Thing you wanted for a long time has been fulfilled.

We're all equal. We're equally have nothing.

Drink Mate.

Cheers. I don't drink schnapps, cheers Mate.

You're not saying anything about our Niko.

Why did he send this hat?

With his intelligence, he's going to be a big deal for you.

Vesna, take granny.

Take granny away Vesna!

Leave it granny, let the men talk in private.

You think it's easy for me mister Zane?

For you?

You took Niko away from me, now you'll take Vesna too.

You shouldn't be mad at him Mate, he's like that now.

Maybe he'll get over it in time.

Is it my fault that I wasn't shot too? Don't...

You don't have to explain to me.

I'm sorry Vesna.

Well...

Our house is not happy anymore.

Now we're here. Now we have to live.

Bye Vesna. Bye Mate, we'll see each other again.

I hope so. Goodbye.

I waited for you for so long.

Quiet, quiet...

Where were you for so long?

You were waiting for me.
