TO MY FATHER, IN THE HEAVENLY STABLES
FAR AWAY FROM THE CAPITAL CITY, COUNTRY LIFE HAS PERISHED.
CRIMINAL GANGS OCCUPY ABANDONED FARMS, BRINGING BACK SLAVERY.
MIRAGE
I want to go to the tavern.
300 forints.
You'll have to wait a bit.
Good morning!
Hello.
Thank you very much!
Mister, wake up!
Radio Kossuth, Budapest.
The current time is noon.
This is it.
We'll have to bury him.
It's hot...
There's another spade in there!
Hey!
Open the door!
Come out with your hands up!
Stop there!
Close the door!
Turn around and face the wall!
Frisk him.
Open the bag.
Hands up and turn back to the wall!
Do you speak Hungarian?
A bit.
Turn around!
Hands!
Wait a sec...
What's going on?
What have you caught?
He just arrived on the train.
Aha... and what's the problem?
He's on the run for taking bribes and match-fixing. Do you know him?
Come here.
Who?
You.
Me?
I'm not talking to myself!
Come on.
Come on.
You stay there!
Let me tell you what we'll do.
Give him the key.
We know you come tomorrow!
But Cisco: "No, no he comes today!"
"He comes today!"
He was right.
Cisco...
Cisco knows, he feels.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
Do you understand me?
I understand you.
Me Kokas.
- Francis. - What?
Francis!
Hello, Francis.
Football player?
I'm sure you can fucking hear me!
Why not...
Why not West?
Big team.
Or America like Beckham.
Drogba is better.
Do you know Hagi?
Steaua.
Steaua Bucuresti! Steaua...
Number one!
Striker, jersey number ten.
Is it far?
No, no. It's close.
The farm... close.
But...
...you can't see because...
It's the fucking Puszta!
Treacherous country this...
It looks flat, but there are potholes so big you could hide a tank in them!
French is the official language in the Ivory Coast, isn't it?
Yes, why?
Sunglasses off!
And you?
I see you like it here.
Things could be worse... But then they'd be much worse.
Who said you could leave the vehicle?
Nobody said I couldn't.
Can we take a look in your bag?
Hands up!
Don't drink from the well, it's not drinkable.
Bad, bad water!
This is the shower, that's how you say it in French, right?
Shower gel.
There's...
Don't go there!
Good water inside.
Good water, you can drink this.
Don't drink from the well.
Here, cold water.
And cola no... It's Cisco's cola!
Meat, all you want.
Cigarettes... free.
Come on!
Thank you.
So, this is it...
...and tomorrow you work or you work.
Hammer!
Please, show me a bed.
Fuck off!
Ready?
Didn't you have anything colder?
Come on!
It is cold.
Everyone stay where you are! Get your ID papers ready!
Have a look around!
Give it here! Give me the gun!
To the wall! Come on!
You don't have to work so hard.
There's no need to rush.
It's enough to do it when they're watching.
If they see you can chop this much in one day,
they'll have us all doing it tomorrow.
Understand?
I'm asking you not to fuck things up for all of us!
