The Campaign (Berliner)

- Hello Nelu! - Hello Vio!

Is it OK?

Didn't I tell you to plough at 30?

But isn't it OK?

Hell no! It's not OK!

Do you want me to measure it with a ruler? This is how the tractor made it!

God damn this land!

Nothin' is going to grow here! I've told you to plough at 30 and you do it at 15?

- What do you mean? - 30 is not 15!

I should've better hired Gyuri.

Fine then, have Gyuri do it!

- You've fucked it up! - Hell, no, I haven't!

Do it right!

- Then, I'll do it again! God damn this land! - Do it again!

If I go down at 30 as you say, do you know how much it consumes?

Fucking Diesel!

Not offense, dear Viorel...

God damn this tractor!

You didn't buy bread.

Fucking idiot. Even I can play like that!

Don't swear inside the house!

Can't you see that ball?

You'll eat without bread, then.

Did you talk to Vosi?

I did.

When will he give you the money?

Good afternoon!

- Good afternoon! - Good afternoon!

What happened?

The alternator, I guess.

I've tried to call but there's no signal.

The phones don't work here.

- Where to? - Oradea.

There is a shortcut via Tinca.

- The road is bad via Tinca. - Is it so?

It doesn't start anymore.

Don't try it anymore, it may stall.

- Maybe the timing belt? - The belt's been replaced.

Well, then what happened?

Well, can't you see?

The gentlemen's car broke down.

Will you get off?

- Good afternoon! - Good afternoon!

- Mocanu. - Gherman.

Go on in, please!

Go there on the porch. It's nice.

There's shade.

Come on in, please!

- Good afternoon, ma'am! - Good afternoon!

Come on in! Inside or outside?

Wherever do you want, Minister?

- Outside - Take a seat.

Do you want some coffee?

Yes, please.

Good cars, but they break, too.

Hello Marius!

It's me, Vio.

Viorel, hey!

Listen...

Get outside, then!

Heh, heh, heh... Is that so?

Eh... So, listen up.

I've got a problem with an alternator.

Can I come over?

Is that so?

Eh... eh...

...eh... So... Now...

...Okay, okay...

Eh, well... thanks a ton!

- To your health! - Health is better than wealth!

To your health!

Well, help yourselves!

- Thank you. - Thank you, ma'am.

Let them eat a bit, you!

As you might have guessed, Mr. Mocanu is one of the candidates

for the European Parliament , here in Bihor.

Viorel, didn't you recognise the gentleman?

Well, sort of...

When I first saw him, I knew it was him.

Thank you, ma'am. We do what we can.

Help yourselves, please!

These are tough times for our country and for Europe.

With terrorists all over the place now...

Yes, there are dangers everywhere.

It's good we don't have any terrorists around here.

We, the Romanians, have defended Europe for hundreds of years.

That's right.

That's the truth.

But aren't you eating, ma'am?

No, I've just taken my pills...

You know, blood pressure...

I have blood pressure problems myself.

More and more people have it...

Palinka decreases blood pressure!

Stop it with that palinka. Yours is high, too, you know!

Well, blood pressure is also good you know?

What for?

You'll have no blood pressure when you'll die, you know?

You're just blabbing!

To your health!

Health is better than wealth!

It's clean and quiet.

Yes, ma'am, it's quiet indeed.

It's not like the capital city here.

Why should you go to the hotel?

It's Tavi's room.

Poor boy, he works in Cluj.

With them computers.

- I've got a beautiful daughter myself. - That's right…

You and the boy, come with me. I'll make your bed in the other room.

- Shall I bring you some water? - It would be nice.

Okay then...

Shall we light up the fire?

It's not that cold...

The gentlemen might not be used to it.

Light the fire now, in September?

Thank you!

Come to the table, too!

I don't eat breakfast.

But your should have something in your stomach!

A coffee please...

Oh my, I forgot!

Viorel made it.

Mmm, very good.

- Good morning! - Morning, Minister!

Good morning!

- How did you sleep? - It's really quiet here...

That's true.

- Did you fix it? - It was the alternator.

I've told you!

We were lucky to meet Mr. Viorel.

Well, the man knows his job...

- Good morning, ma'am! - Good morning!

- Winter's coming soon! - It is, it is.

We are looking forward to it!

Have a nice day!

Thanks a lot!

And don't forget to vote!

- Good morning! - Morning to you, too!

- How's it going? - Okay, okay.

Silvestru Mocanu is my name!

Ioji.

I hope that you're going to vote.

- Are there elections again? - Yes, there are, on the 24th.

Oh... let them be.

The elections are the heart of democracy!

Is that so?

It's your right to vote!

Mr. Mocanu! Am I glad to see you!

Come on in.

- What's this? - Our campaign product.

And I have one more.

What?

- Look at that, my picture is on the salami! - Isn't that a good idea?

- I look chubbier here... - That's not true!

Well, people are going to say that I advertise your salami.

Where do Romanians feel the best, Mr Mocanu?

At the table! Partying and drinking!

What do you say, Adi?

- It's a good idea, I reckon. - What do you mean?

You were the Minister of Agriculture...

...so, it's normal to be associated to food products.

Is that so?

The salami is the symbol of the town. It's the pride of the place, so it's fine.

The salami is important, you know. It gets everywhere.

I know, but now people like it sliced...

Not around here, they don't.

It gets altered, if it's sliced.

How can you take all this, Mr Minister?

Here it used to be the dispensary.

- Nice building. - Nice!

- And there's the town hall! - Aha.

Good afternoon!

How are you my dear Ghita?

Well, I'm going to bring water.

- Good afternoon! - Good afternoon!

- I'm Mocanu! - The gentleman is a candidate in our college.

- Well, okay. - Where are you off to?

- I'm going to bring water. - Water?

We don't drink tap water, 'cause it's not good.

Right, right.

- You heard? - What?

Tap water is not good.

- Put it down! - Got it!

Would you allow me?

I'd like to take a ride!

Sure, sure... Well, okay, let me take these.

No, leave them.

That's it...

Adi! Take a picture with this gentleman!

Yes.

Why don't you join our party, Viorel?

No time for that...

You shouldn't complain, if you don't get involved.

I'm not complaining.

Fericean got a brand new tractor and a harvester

if he submitted the papers as I told him to.

Do you know how many tractors Moty has?

- He's got a few… - See?

Wouldn't you like having a new tractor here in your yard?
