Hive (Zgjoi)

Water. Somebody bring some water, she's about to pass out. Quickly!

Madam, madam. It's not permitted to get on the truck.

Please get out!

Grandpa, I saw a red fish in the river today.

- Really? - Yes really.

I was playing over there and I saw it.

No way. There hasn't been any fish there since the war ended.

- You're lying. - I'm not lying, why should I be lying?

Because you always lie.

- Shut up. - You shut up.

Hey! Hey! You shouldn't be talking like that.

I will go next time they bring bodies.

Edon, you shouldn't be playing near the river!

How many times do I need to tell you that?

- Hello everybody! - Hello Haxhi!

It looks like it will reach at least 37 degrees today.

Euuu, it's going to burn us all.

- Father, I will go now. - Have a nice day.

- You have a nice day too. - Have a nice day.

All I want to tell you is that this is a very good opportunity for you,

and I think you should use it.

Yet, I can't make you do anything if you don't want to.

Zamire, have you thought what people will say?

Or you haven't?

How could I know what will people say?

People talk, they have talked, and they always will.

I am speaking for myself.

There is no way I will allow myself to become the gossip of other people.

They will say 'the missing husband's wife is driving a car'.

Do you know what kind of shit they might say behind my back?

Actually I would really like to.

Once I drove the tractor,

but Ilir was afraid I might stray into the field,

and then I left it and didn't get around it anymore.

What about me? Can I get the driving license?

Yes of course, as long as you want to learn

the instructor will teach you everything.

It all depends on you.

The instructor?!

Didn't you just say that the women's organization is doing this?

Emine, the women's organization pays for it, someone else teaches you.

And that person who teaches us, is that a woman or man?

It doesn't matter at all if it's a man or a woman!

What's important is to get the driver's license,

because when you get the license it'll be easier to get a job.

Also,

you have to tell me within the week because they wont wait for us any longer.

Does father know how to fish?

Get up, let's go!

Mom, answer me.

- How was the way back, father-in-law? - I managed slowly.

I sold one today.

I had to sell it cheaper.

Good enough.

They don't produce enough, and the honey is not selling well.

Only 30 Euros?

What can I do with this, Zamire?

Besides flour and oil, there's nothing else you can buy with it.

Edona, you know that if I could, I would give you more.

It's becoming difficult to find donations now.

Mihrije, come! It's your turn.

May God help us!

Will we receive anything else for this month?

No Mihrije, this is all for this month.

Can I also take them for Hyrije?

Why didn't she come to take the money herself?

They found her husband and son.

Sign there for her as well.

Lucky her! She'll no longer startle each time the door knocks.

Did anyone ask about the driving license?

No, no one.

Of course not. There are only two days left.

And you?

We have a car to give, but we can't do that without a driver.

You could help us in the city and work here with the women.

You should go Fahrije!

Naza is right, think about it.

Whatever you do it affects the entire family,

be that for good or bad.

If you are considering my son dead, I'm still alive!

I can't rely on you father, you know that.

The children are growing up, I have to think long-term.

You have to know your place in this family!

Keep the right lane.

Keep your lane.

Relax, that's good.

Keep to your lane, as much as you can.

Very good, very good.

Put it on the second gear.

Very good.

It's not a new car, but it does the job.

It's a good one.

Here as well.

We really appreciate it, that you have cooperated with us.

You've helped us a lot.

Well the idea, the idea was very good.

But we have to prepare the new contract as soon as possible.

We have to wait for now, because we don't know what is happening for the moment.

Why?

People like home-made food.

It sells well.

If we find funds, we'll try again,

but for now we have lots of difficulties on that.

There are no difficulties on that, whatsoever!

We're talking about making ajvar, not constructing buildings!

Thank you.

All the best. Farewell.

I can't get into something when I am not sure I can pull it off.

Your supermarket friend just said that he can sell it.

Women will make the ajvar, he sells it.

Fahrije, its not that simple.

We have serious monetary problems at the organization.

If the organization closes, we'll lose a lot of funds for women.

This month we don't have money even for assistance.

Zamire, we don't need either the funds, or the assistance.

We need work!

We are going insane! Don't you see none of us is ok?

And me? You think I'm perfectly fine?!

And you do have a job Fahrije, don't forget that.

And the other women?

I don't want to talk about this.

I'm not getting into this, and neither should you!

I didn't know you smoke!

I don't.

I just light one from time to time.

Don't you dare tell grandpa!

I asked Vera for the eighth grade school books, but she didn't give them to me!

- Emine's daughter? - The whore!

Where the hell did you learn such language!

She called me the same!

I'll talk to Emine.

She's always given them to us, and she will do so this year.

- I don't want them now! - Is that so?

Do you have the money to buy new ones?

You're daydreaming a lot.

Alright Emine. You always have something against.

My brother-in-law would go crazy.

But ask him first Edona.

I did ask him about the driving license, he yelled at me.

He wanted to kill me. Let alone ask him about working.

I don't think so.

It's easy for you Fahrije, your father-in-law is meek like an angel.

My father-in-law is completely crazy.

I'm not saying it's easy Lume, but you should at least ask him.

Edona at least tried, but the rest of you aren't even bothering.

And it's not like you'll be working who knows where,

you'll be working in my house.

They all know me, and they know we are a good family.

Yes. They all know you.

They all know you're driving a car, working in the city.

So?

And,

Fahrije...

I feel sorry I'm saying this,

but the entire village is gossiping about you.

They talk about you driving a car, going alone to Prishtina.

That you work alone.

And worst of all,

they're saying that if Agim was alive, he would've been ashamed of you.

Do you think it can work this way?

There's not much about it. We've been making ajvar all our lives.

We know how to do this best.

Do you have a registered company?

Yes, we do.

We're just opening one now, I am the manager.

And the money?

I mean you need money to get started.

I have.

We'll manage somehow, just tell us if you can sell it.

We will do all the rest.

We can give you some shelves here in the supermarket,

and if they sell, you get your share,

if not, you get your goods back.

Is there some problem?

No, no problem.

Done then. Congratulations to us.

Thank you!

Manager huh?

Well, I didn't come as your bodyguard,

I had to say something.

What is the matter? Don't I look like one?

You do look like one,

but I was surprised you even knew that word.

Just because I'm old, I'm not stupid.

You old? You're still young.

Yes sure. I'm both, young and stupid.

Why didn't you tell me he was so handsome?

I would have dressed different, better.

Shut up!

Oh God! Fahrije, are you hurt?

Goddamn idiots!

- Leave it. - Are you all right?

Shall we clean it all? Be careful.

Leave it.

You whores!

Bring me the tape from the trunk!

Hold it here!

- Mom, who broke our car window? - No one.

And how did it break?

Accidentally.
