Come!

Come, you crazy goat!

It's beautiful!

It's crazy!

You are so beautiful.

SWORN VIRGIN

Pal!

Pal!

The 7 pm bus for Milan will depart from platform 7.

The 7.15 pm bus for Home will depart from platform 8.

The 5.30 pm bus

from Tirana has arrived at platform 4

please note the change of platform.

Yes?

Lila?

Yes, who is it?

It's Mark.

What are you doing here?

Couldn't you have told me first?

Did you plan to stay here?

It's not a big house.

It doesn't matter.

There's no guestroom.

Maybe you could use

Jonida's room.

I won't be staying long.

What are you doing here?

I'm sorry to bother your family.

What are you doing here?

Mum, what the fuck is he doing in my room?

Jonida, he's sleeping here and you're on the sofa.

You're mad, I'll bugger my back.

I'll sleep on the sofa.

No, no.

Hear that? He'll sleep on the sofa.

No, I said.

What a pain, Mum!

Lila, give her some room.

You get undressed and sleep here.

We walked for hours.

Does she know her parents are dead?

Yeah, I told her.

She's got nobody up there, she'll stay here with Lila.

What's your name?

Hana.

Was it a long journey?

Yeah, long.

You left yesterday?

Yeah, yesterday.

Jonida, enough!

Yeah, enough!

Where are you from?

Ragam, you know where that is?

I don't know anything about Albania

just the capital, Tirana, isn't it?

Tirana.

Who are you exactly?

Mark.

Your uncle.

Whose brother?

We're cousins.

Cousins!

That's enough!

That's enough.

Raki?

Maybe Mark's had enough to drink.

Where we come from men drink raki, remember?

Katrina died so long ago.

I know.

Women don't make it past sixty up there.

How old was she, sixty-two?

Sixty-three?

Fifty-nine.

See, even one year less!

We haven't seen each other in 14 years.

Why didn't you come back?

Looking at you was too painful.

You've never looked at a man?

You're not a happy man, looking at an unhappy man is no fun.

That's not it, Lila!

When you don't want to see something, you run away, I stare at it.

Yeah, you stare at it

but that doesn't mean you can see.

It's always been like that

since your parents died.

Lend us your horse.

Are you crazy? You're a girl!

We didn't do anything wrong

Klodjan always goes out on his own.

Klodjan's a boy.

You steal bread and shame this house

next time I'll kill you!

I should've left you up there alone.

What are you doing? Don't do that!

We'll buy it.

You can't open the goods.

We'll buy it.

I'll have to open them all now to see what you've done.

I said we'll buy it!

Bitch.

Do you want to buy anything else?

Who used to cut your hair?

Artan, every twenty-eight days.

Let's go, I'm late.

Hang on.

Mum, I can't wait any longer.

I'm already behind!

It doesn't matter if you're late for once.

It does. Get him to move, please!

Don't use that tone with me!

Mum, you know my schedule.

If I miss the building-up

my whole training session just sucks

I can't miss the start.

Sir!

You can't be in here dressed, with shoes on.

I'm closing up.

What are you doing?

You have to go, understand?

Can you hear me?

Excuse me.

Don't touch me.

What's wrong? Are you okay?

Let's go.

When does Lila get back?

It depends.

Sorry, I got held up.

Don't worry, honey.

Let the bride pass.

Why's her face covered?

If she can't see the road, she can't go back.

Let's go home!

Come on!

It's not good to drink before a man drinks.

It's not good to smoke.

It's not good to touch a rifle.

It's not good to speak before a man speaks

or go into the woods on your own without a man.

It's not good to choose a husband.

It's not good to do a man's work.

It's not good to look at a man thinking he's not right.

We'll always be together.

It's not good to choose before a man does.

What do you think you're doing?

I earn my bread in your house.

Kneel down!

Is this what you want?

Show me who you are.

Hold it tight against your shoulder.

Hold your breath.

Pull the trigger gently.

Fire!

Again!

Fire!

You were lucky.

What is it?

I just wanted to see you sleeping.

You can't!

Why not?

You're the only person I've slept with.

That's not my fault.

Lila!

What's sex like?

What kind of question's that?

I don't know

the first time it's like raki.

You feel a burning and you don't understand a thing.

As you go, sometimes you understand but it was better when you didn't.

But when it works...

When it works

you're totally in and out of yourself.

Like at the top of the mountain and the wind's blowing?

Yes, lots of wind, lots and lots.

People are trying to sleep.

So go and sleep.

Lila, are you sure he's your cousin?

I'm going to work.

How come you never mentioned him?

Mummy with all these skeletons in the closet!

Who knows where you go, what odd jobs you do?

You'd rather clean strangers' asses than care for who's close to you.

Don't speak to your mother like that.

You can't tell my daughter what to do.

Out you go, little nurse!
