Klara

Hi, Aleks.

What are you doing here?

- Are you mad? - Who is she?

- Jesus... - Klara!

Calm down, please!

I don't love her, I swear!

I will leave her immediately!

Jesus!

Klara... Foxy... Kitty...

You are the love of my life!

And vice versa, Aleks.

What did he say?

Two pills per day max?

Or six?

KLARA EPISODE 1

THE DIVING MUSEUM

What?

- Where are you? - In front of the Diving Museum.

- The fuck? - It's the Night of Museums.

But the Diving Museum? What can you see there?

I don't know. A pool, a wreck.

He may want to drown you. Call me if you need me.

If I can make it.

Brought an oxygen bottle?

I brought cognac.

Gotta go.

- Hi. - Hey.

BASED ON THE BOOK "KLARA" BY IZABELA KUNA

- Wow. - Oh, yes.

Children's Dreams by Jung.

Reading it?

No. I was supposed to be holding a book.

And I was supposed to smile.

Do you dive?

I dived in Crete once.

It turned out I have a crooked septum.

I don't equalize pressure and I had a nosebleed.

Shall we take a tour or sit down somewhere?

I like Warsaw.

And Bydgoszcz.

It's a different culture. A totally different world.

People live differently there. It's...

And Torun?

I can't say I know Torun, but... Yes, I like it.

I like Polish cities in general.

Me too. Tri-City most of all.

Sopot.

I like Sopot a lot.

What time does your subway leave?

Eleven o'clock.

Then we still have time.

I'll walk you.

Great.

I like asparagus a lot. But...

these ones didn't taste good.

What were the sauces even for?

I wonder why the asparagus season is so short.

Kiss me.

Here?

You don't equalize pressure indeed.

Hello?

Thank God! He didn't drown you.

Wronka, I can't take it anymore.

I love him so terribly.

So terribly that I can't stand it.

After one date, idiot?

Not him, damn it. Aleks!

What do I do?

No idea, Klara! No idea.

Lock yourself up in a hospital, in jail, or wherever.

Get rid of your phone. Don't answer, don't call, don't lie.

Are you there?

I feel sick.

No wonder. He's destroying your life.

I got sick on asparagus!

Get it together, idiot.

I tried today.

His name was Jan.

John the Lackland. John the Lacksense.

Give me a break, please.

Is this how you greet your mother?

God, Mum, I'm so sorry.

I thought this was Wronka.

Can you warn me before you call?

Shall I send you a pigeon?

A text, Mum.

But I can't send text messages.

Why are you awake? Do you know what time it is?

You are what's keeping me awake.

Listen.

End this relationship immediately, or I will.

I will call his wife.

I will do it, I swear!

It won't change anything.

What do you mean it won't?

It'll change everything.

And one more thing.

If you don't break up with him,

you won't be allowed at my funeral.

Who will stop me?

Ms Zosia and Ms Basia.

Don't you dare stand over my grave.

Or touch the urn!

- The fern? - The urn!

I don't want to see you at the cemetery!

Die however you want.

Get buried or get burnt, I don't care!

I don't give a damn.

- Klara? - Shrala!

Here you go.

Thank you.

Fancy some cognac?

At this time?

Tastes best now.

I start duty in an hour.

Perfect, you'll sober up.

Being sober on duty must be sad.

All these sick people...

Klara...

There's something I have to tell you.

I can't hide it any longer, enough is enough.

Aleks is calling.

He is. I'm not answering.

Very good.

Wonderful.

Finally, Klara! He's a moron!

He will never make up his mind. He will never leave anyone for you.

God, my hands are sweating.

Have some cognac, I told you.

Klara...

I'm in love.

He's from Poznan.

Divorced.

I was so scared. And so was he. We blithe...

We blithe...

We both were scared.

Are you laughing at me?

No, not at all. Sorry.

Excuse me for a moment.

You called.

What do you want?

I had this thought today that I could marry Wojtek.

He's gay, you idiot.

I don't mind it at all.

I hope you didn't take Aleks' calls?

Three times.

Good girl!

You know what I realized?

That it's most important to know...

which bridge to burn

and which to cross.

It's so beautiful, Klara.

This is the thing about American movies.

Gee, they can put this whole nonsense into words.

And do you know which bridge to cross?

Klara, I'm talking about hardship. About struggle.

The battle and the sorrow.

- Stop it. - Come on.

- Stop it. - But it was fun.

- Stop. - Please.

Come on, play with me.

Enough already.

What do you want to tell me?

That I love you, Klara. I can't live without you.

That you must wait for me.

That I can't leave the kids.

My kids...

My little babies...

I don't believe you.

I can't keep it together without you.

I just can't.

Excuse me, could I have one more glass?

The same, wine. Thank you.

Then marry me.

I will. I promise you I will.

Got any smokes?

You can't smoke here.

Fuck, you can't smoke anywhere these days.

Or make love.

So will you cross the bridge or burn it?

Gee, you know what I realized?

That since my granny died...

until this moment, until now,

I haven't cried.

Gee, I remember that day very clearly.

I was home alone.

Aleks, I don't give a shit about this American movies bullshit.

- I know. - That's great.

- Anything for you? - No, thanks.

Screw your granny. I want you.
