Adela

What are you doing?

- What time is it? - Good morning to you, too.

- Morning. - Morning.

My God, it's so late!

My God!

Where are you two going at this hour?

Don't you want to eat something first?

We're going to Paul. He asked us to pass by.

You're in charge with the outfits for the wedding today.

The outfits!

Don't tell me you forgot!

Yes, but...

How could you forget, man? You promised! There's no one else to do it!

I was joking. Are you nuts? How can I forget something like this?

Look, I have a question.

I...

am the best man, right?

You haven't changed minds?

No.

- And... what about a missus? - Man!

Andreea.

Andreea.

Are you sure?

Very sure.

Andreea has changed a lot.

There you go. You have a bridesmaid too.

Congrats, sir. Best of luck to us all.

Well... I don't know what to say... OK.

- Come on, Adela. Shall we go? - Come on.

Yes.

It looks nice. From your daughter?

This one...

Just look at him... sleeping all day long!

He walks around drunk all day, he comes home and he doesn't even reach the bed.

He falls right there...

God forbid! Maybe someone cast black magic on him.

Ana Maria...

To keep him away from home.

To make him drink like crazy. Who knows who may wish him bad...

Wish him bad... He's just stupid!

- Good day to you, too. - Ana Maria...

- What did he say? - He's just mumbling.

No, he said "Ana Maria"!

No, he didn't. Brewery. He said "brewery". He's going...

I saw Ana Maria.

I saw her in my dream.

It was her.

Ana Maria!

Who, man? The deceased?

Let her be, God forbid...

It's bad to dream of dead people. And if you saw her as bride...

God forbid! How to dream of her as bride?

She was in the park, wanting to tell me something

and I couldn't hear her and she wanted to tell me...

What did she want to tell you?

He didn't hear! He's deaf even while sleeping!

God, protect us!

I'd suggest you take out the incense. Those ghosts aren't good at all.

When they come, they might take you away, too.

And give me some too. Give me some

to take it to the mansion, because, I don't know...

Come on,

for those in the mansion I'll give you a full bag.

They have a lot of ghosts.

Look here...

Take it, I have another bag.

And charcoal...

You'll bring the bag back, right?

God forbid, be careful, because those ghosts are not good at all.

God forbid...

Kisses!

Kisses!

Calm down!

What's wrong with you? Are you into ghosts now?

Water...

Leave the water, get a brandy!

- Water... - Water...

Ana Maria...

Come on... Ana Maria... There's the lake, so you can drown!

- We're all alone. - Yes.

- No more children around. - Thanks.

We didn't know how to treasure them while they were here... so that's it.

- Stop being cynical. - I'm not.

Come on, please.

This talk is the last thing we needed at breakfast.

- Let's eat in peace. - Enjoy your meal.

Go bring Livia back home. At least, she should be around.

OK, I will.

- Don't you know how stubborn she is? - Try, at least. Please.

- I will try. - Dorin!

But don't be soft and gentle as usual, OK?

Yes.

Because she knows it and takes advantage every time.

Yes.

And slap her if needed,

to get Butimanu out of her head, as well as that idiot thug!

Really? Really, Delia?

Why don't you come with me to Butimanu? You sort things out, slap her yourself!

Delia, I have never hit my children and I never will.

Do it yourself if you want.

Come with me to Butimanu, there's fresh air as well...

In Butimanu, the air is really fine, I'll give you that.

Right. See?

Get out!

- Excuse me? - "Excuse me?"

Are you talking back, Florica?

Is there no intimacy or decency left in this house?

Anyone can talk whatever, whenever they want?

We're the same and I didn't know, Florica?

That's what we deserve for hiring people from the slums.

Come on!

Be grateful I still keep you here.

- You're a servant, don't you forget. - Enough, Delia!

Have a nice meal, kids!

Why does she talk to me like that, Mr. Paul?

I may be a simple woman from Butimanu, but I am honest, really.

I'm not a servant with a chicken brain, like the lady said.

I work honestly. Adela knows me.

She's a little... She has issues with her husband, her children...

Come on, welcome. Join me for breakfast.

If you are still in the mood to eat.

- Florica! - OK, I'm done.

- Listen, Ilie... - Yes?

What do you miss the most?

Me?

Didn't I say "Ilie"?

I miss my childhood.

I miss my childhood the most.

It was so good... I was little, I was worry free.

Well, my parents had stuff to worry about.

I had one thing on my mind, to play.

I miss my childhood, too.

Like you said, no worries, playing all day...

I didn't have to think of other...

Well, it wasn't easy. I was poor,

I only had bad kids around,

who laughed at me because I was ugly and dark skinned...

Kids will be kids, but they are not mean.

Maybe not, but I felt hurt anyway.

I don't miss that part of my childhood.

Miss Andreea...

Forgive me for asking...

Why are you so mean?

If you know how it feels to be treated badly,

why are you so mean?

And how should I defend myself, Ilie?

If my mom had sent me to some sports classes,

to learn how to punch...

Since I don't know how, I do the best I can.

I use my mouth, I've got a chatterbox.

Yes, but the malice...

But I'm not mean, Ilie. I'm evil, OK? There's a difference.

I took after...

I know whom.

OK, enough talking. Time to be silent, I'd say.

- Rodica, what are you doing there? - Where?

Well...

I wanted to light some incense, Mrs. Mona.

Why?

To chase the evil spirits away, and all the ghosts,

because they got to the neighbors as well.

When was the last time a priest blessed this house?

How should I know? I haven't seen any since I moved here.

See? That's why we need to clean this place,

so that only the good energy remains and all the evil spirits go away!

And you'll see how well everything will be after.

Only good things will happen!

Let's light it...

Yes. Better take these, it's your payment for the full month.

But please don't get used to it, because I don't pay in advance, OK?

Thank you very much, I had no money left anyway.

And be careful not to smoke my mother-in-law,

because we're not embalming her.

About the embalming.

The doctor was here yesterday to see Mrs. Martha.

And he said she should go to the hospital to run some tests.

OK, I'll tell Paul.

And I have another request.

Yes?

I would need some more money, but not for me, for Mrs. Martha,

because I need to get some ointment from the pharmacy, to massage her.

Another ointment. Because, if I don't massage her, she'll get stiff.

Take it from the envelope and I'll pay you back later, OK?

You'll manage.

- Are you done yet? - It's cold!

- I can't focus. - But at least you're inside.

I don't get it, if they built a toilet outside,

why didn't they build two?

- Maybe they had no license. - From whom?

You think the chicken would rebel for having their living space taken?

It stinks, God, it's horrible!

- I feel I could use a ton of sanitizer! - OK, now you'll wait for me.

- Are you serious? - I can't hold it any longer.

This was a sign!

This was a sign from God.

Ana Maria has shown up in my dream for a reason.

Yes, it's a sign, Mitu.

It's a sign from Miki's tavern in Butimanu.

It's the alcohol in your head, that's it.

Deceased people come to visit you because your head is empty.
