The Perfect Circle (Savršeni Krug / Savrseni krug)

PERFECT CIRCLE

What are you doing, my child?

I'm dreaming, mother.

Dreaming that I'm singing. You're asking me:

What are you doing, my son?

What does the song in your dream say, my child?

Mother, it says I once had a house.

Now I have none, mother.

That's what it says: that I once had a voice and a language.

Now I have no voice and no language.

With the voice that I lost,

in the language that I lost, I sing a song, mother,

about the house that I lost.

Water!

This way!

Open and close the tap when I whistle. -OK, chief!

Let the truck through!

There's nothing left, beat it!

Yes, there's water...

But you can't have any!

Get the truck out of the way!

What's that? -My kidneys...

nerves, ovaries...

It's all in there.

Where you taking it?

Everywhere! To the children's embassy, the Red Cross,to Caritas,

to Merhamet, the goodwill office...

I'll find a place!

What do I do?

Give them the papers!

Say I'm skin and bones! Miranda has to leave too.

She can leave if she wants to.

It's up to her.

Don't fight over me.

Tell him where your friends are. Visna's in London...

And... Amra's

in Novi Sad.

Vesna's in Prague...

That's not the problem. She has to decide for herself. Miranda!

You want to go?

Ready, chief!

The water's over there now!

Don't step on the hose!

Where's your dad?

Up there, arguing.

Will they ever stop?

It's happened, ma'am. -What?

Peace is here! Peace!

What do you mean? -They announced it.

Bullshit! -Let him talk!

America...Clinton...It's happened!

Right away.

It's for that whore up there!

Cut it off!

Why do you get it before us?

Leave her alone, kid.

Take it easy, folks!

Turn it off, kid!

Let it run, you idiot!

Without me, you'd have no water, stupid!

What's up, bitch?

I'll come down and show you!

Screw you!

When you need liquor, you find it!

Stop, dammit! You won't get through the checkpoints.

There's a war on! All around Sarajevo!

They're hard to cross. Especially if you're Hamza's wife!

Get us IDs saying we're Catholics.

"Margarita" is a nice name! Invent a family name.

I've got the photos, it's all ready.

Why are you so mean to me?

You don't want me to leave! You're so selfish!

You're a bastard!

Woman, my war's over once you're gone!

Just get me those IDs!

You like the name Margarita?

Miranda!

Watch out!

Where's the bus? -It's not coming.

The Chetniks didn't let it through.

There's a Number 2!

Let's go!

Jasminka Taric!

Sanela Pandzic! Take it easy...

Plema Arnautalic. I already called her.

Hrustanovic Kemal!

Uherka Milenko! Is he here?

Bogoljub Nikolic!

Take good care.

Dad, come with us!

Don't cry.

I won't leave without you. -Be nice to your mom.

You'll be back in a month.

They forgot a bag!

Screw that!

You scared the hell out of me!

Who are you?

Adis.

And you?

You hear what I said?

He can't hear you.

How come? -That's how it is.

What's his name? -Kerim.

How did you get in?

Through the window. -Why my place?

We thought it was empty.

Now go.

Go on...

Go!

What is it?

Where do you live?

Nowhere.

What do you mean, nowhere?

Where are your folks?

Who do you live with?

No one.

You must have someone.

Yes, Aunt Aicha.

Where is she? -In Sarajevo.

Why aren't you with her?

We couldn't find her.

OK, sit on that.

Not on the floor, on that.

Got any cigarettes?

I don't smoke, my brother quit.

He quit? When?

When Dad caught him.

Know where your aunt lives?

There's a...

What did he say?

He says there's a hill, a street, a fountain, a cemetery.

There! -Could be anywhere.

You know her family name?

Vahidovic, Hamidovic, something like that.

What did he say?

Dunno. He's like that all day.

Can you write?

Write?

So write...

Poor guy, you can't write either.

Bistr...

Bistrik?

OK, you'll go

to Bistrik and ask. Everyone knows everyone there.

Just go there!

You must!

You can spend the night here.

Tomorrow I have to fetch water.

I'll take you there. Now get into bed.

Get undressed. Lie down.

I've got hot potato pie. -Come up.

There they are...

What'll you do?

Take them. Or they won't find their aunt.

I have to get water, so why not?

Where they from?

Why are they here?

Who knows? Now they're awake.

Want me to come along?

No, too many bombs. I'll go alone.

Warmer with that scarf? -Yes.

He asks what your buddy does.

Who, Marko? -He's called Marko?

Come on, run!

Come on!

His name bother you?

It's a Chetnik, Serbian name. Is he one? -Names don't make you one.

Then what does? -Killing people.

You sure this is the way?

I don't remember. It's changed.

But Bistrik is here.

Come on.

Come on, run.

A lot of shooting this morning?

A lot. Now it's calmed down.

Any Hamidovics live here?

I don't know, I'm a refugee.

Watch out for those hills over there.

How can I hide?

Try or you've had it.

Hello.

Anybody called Hamidovic or Vahidovic live here?

Ask in that yellow house.

Thanks.

Where are these kids from? -How do I know?

Was the water queue long? -Not too bad.

I told you so! Go fill the water cans.

We're worn out, we're gonna die.

You're gonna die!

Come on.

Isn't that a cemetery?

There's the house!

Sure that's it? -Yes.

Let's go.

Why did you run so fast?

There's no one inside.

There hasn't been for a long time.

Everything got looted.

Refugees lived here, then they left.

Even they didn't like it.
