[radio beeping]
[radio announcer]
This is Polish Radio Channel One.
- It's after 8:00 a.m. Time for the news.
- [woman] Teresa?
[man] Hey, man, there's a line!
During yesterday's parliamentary session,
Prime Minister Jaroszewicz's motion
to increase certain prices was passed.
He justified the motion
by citing the increase of wages,
pensions and disability pay,
- as well as rising
- [radio screeches]
EFFICIENT MANAGEMEN
IS THE KEY TO NATION'S WELFARE
Of course.
[Bogdan panting]
[folk music playing on radio]
- Thank you.
- [Bogdan] Hey!
[panting]
[exhales deeply]
- Helena!
- Bogdan.
You can't get bored when he's around.
[Bogdan grunts]
Tomas, go! Go, go!
[upbeat folk music playing]
GLITTER
[Bogdan singing]
You have made me feel ♪
- Like there's not a flaw in the world ♪
- [urine dripping]
And ♪
- You brought my life happiness ♪
- [Tomas] It's better I go first.
That I never knew ♪
- Good idea.
- Now, all my whole sense of sadness ♪
Is finally washed away ♪
Away ♪
Saying ♪
You don't have to.
You brought my life happiness
That I never knew ♪
- [chuckles]
- Away ♪
[Tomas] Boredom is not so bad!
Say yes ♪
So, what? I'm supposed
to be nice to him now? Really?
That guy?
Be yourself.
Oh!
So, I can tell him then,
that he doesn't get anything,
that he's naive.
He's too wealthy and good-looking.
[Bogdan] Where does he get off?
Looking like that?
You're quite a couple, though.
[Helena chuckles]
He paid me.
That's good.
That's very good, Helena.
But when they're good-looking,
and they're also nice,
that is immediately suspicious to me.
[waves crashing]
[birds squawking]
[Bogdan] Sometimes, I like to imagine
the perfect man for you.
Someone just like
[sighs]
that one.
[alluring music playing]
[Bogdan] Just perfect.
But, one question
is there something wrong with you,
or maybe with me
that I would imagine things like that?
Hmm.
[radio commentator]
Nobody thinks about the hygiene.
Moonshiners don't care
that people lose their sight.
[Bogdan] And their lives.
Not to mention fatalities.
Moonshine is, in a sense,
a relatively new trend
among the intelligentsia.
They are the ones guilty
- for propagating this problem in cities.
- Of course, they're fucking guilty.
In the past, moonshine was created
in the countryside,
- using potatoes or flour.
- If you say so.
THE CHAIN OF CHANCE
You can't compare it
to moonshine production
using sugar in sterile,
- practically laboratory conditions
- Hmm, Tomas.
- on a large scale.
- [breathes deeply]
- [Bogdan] Tomas!
- [shushes]
When he wakes up, tell him that
it's not fucking fun or nice out here.
[radio shuts]
[Bogdan groans]
And the water's too fucking cold.
Can I bury him here in the sand?
[Helena chuckles]
Please?
[chuckles]
[Tomas] What happened?
They raised prices, almost 100%.
- Oh.
- People queue for sugar.
Sugar?
Yeah.
Poles stock up sugar to feel safe.
[Helena] And free.
Hooch is made of sugar.
[Tomas]
My Algerian half would queue for flour.
French for wine.
[both laugh]
[Helena moans]
[moans]
[sensual breathing]
[muffled scream]
[spluttering, coughing]
[gasps]
[gasping]
[muffled burbling]
[ambient music playing]
[Tomas panting]
[Bogdan groans, coughs]
Come on, come on,
come on, come on, come on.
- [sighs]
- [groans]
[coughs]
[relieved sigh]
[breathing heavily]
[panting]
[exclaims]
I really hate beer.
Uh-oh.
Not good.
No beer.
[chuckles]
Wait. I have something for you.
A few drops under your tongue.
But, uh
how will I feel
after?
[Tomas] Normal.
[chuckles]
Just better.
[Bogdan exclaims]
That's enough.
That's it. Bogdan!
[laughter]
[smacking lips]
[Helena chuckles]
- [Tomas] Mm-hm?
- No, thank you.
- Oh, come on!
- No.
[woman on radio] "Dear, Cuckoo."
"There's this girl."
"We ride the same tram every morning."
"She looks at me, I look at her."
"And those looks
reach deep within our souls."
"Should I approach her?"
- "What if she has an ugly voice?"
- [Bogdan chuckles]
- "Or a boyfriend?"
- [Tomas laughs]
"I don't know which is worse."
[Tomas] I can eat your ice cream
if you don't like it.
- [Helena] That's all right.
- Dear Paweł,
your letter describes a magical moment
when feelings are still just potential,
but also real.
Should you approach her?
Only you can decide.
In the meantime, I advise you
to preserve this moment in amber.
[Tomas] What is she saying?
She saying
[Helena] He drowns her in amber.
[Tomas] Who is he?
[Helena] He's just a boy.
- And who is she?
- [Bogdan] A girl.
[Helena] On the tram.
He should
change trams.
[crickets chirping]
[birds squawking]
["La fille du Père Noël" by Bijou playing]
[laughter]
[laughter continues]
[music halts]
[woman] Don't look.
Let's go, darling.
- Heniek. Heniek. Stop staring.
- [Heniek] Uh, what?
- [woman] Let's go.
- [Heniek] I'm not staring.
[chuckles awkwardly]
[sand shoveling]
[grunting]
[panting]
["La fille du Père Noël" by Bijou playing]
Give me those berries!
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
[Tomas exhales]
What was that about?
In the water?
It was shallow, shallow
and then deep.
[Helena exhales]
[Helena groans]
So quiet.
Down there.
Do you speak Polish?
No.
- [indistinct background chattering]
- Hey, hey, look, you guys.
You want some food?
No?
[both chuckle]
[people cheering]
Somebody has to drive.
We can sleep on the beach.
[Tomas] Hmm.
[indistinct background chattering]
[faint upbeat music playing]
[Tomas exhales heavily]
Or not sleep at all.
[both chuckle]
- I don't think so.
- Come on.
No, sorry. Maybe later.
- [mic screeches]
- Hey!
What a day!
One of a kind for sure.
Wonderful.
Good evening, everyone!
[scattered applause]
A great day is one that leaves room
- It's all he talks about.
- for just a little bit of emotion.
Better play some music!
- [crowd booing]
- [woman] Yes!
[Bogdan] Have you ever been sad, sir?
No. Never.
You are perpetually happy,
you're telling us?
How much did you drink today?
[crowd laughs]
[man] I'm on my vacation, man.
I wonder at what time was your first beer?
[Bogdan] In the morning?
Same as yesterday?
- I'll bet he started on the way here.
- [crowd laughs]
And on the way back home,
I know he'll drink some more.
I think, maybe, he's using that beer
to hide from something.
From his wife. From his children.
Or maybe that's how he celebrates?
That must be it.
You're bravely sharing your happiness
and celebrating it.
Who can help me?
Who else has never been sad in their life?
- [Tomas] Hmm?
- [crowd laughs]
- So why did you go out with me finally?
- [Bogdan] Yeah, that's what I thought.
Well, everyone
You don't know or you know but can't say?
[Bogdan] What a sad world it would be
without sadness.
[crowd exclaims]
Now, let us finish this little moment
of reflection and have some fun!
- [crowd cheers, applaud]
- With Dancing!
- Get out there! You're welcome.
- [dance music playing]
All right, everyone on the dance floor!
I'm talking to you too, Mr. Happy.
Everyone! Now, I have a proposal.
I suggest that we combine
all of our sadness, and sorrows,
and all our blues,
- and together we create fire!
- [crowd cheering, applauding]
One, two, three, four!
Two!
Two! First, the right leg
and then the left one.
And then turn around, and
["Kwiaty niczyje" by KRAM playing]
Everyone, we have some special guests
here with us
the King and Queen of Algeria!
Give them a hand!
[crowd cheer, applaud]
["Kwiaty niczyje" continues playing]
[muffled music playing]
[muffled breathing]
[soft upbeat music playing]
I'll, hmm
give you two times
what I'm paying that loser.
- [scoffs]
- [man] More beers please.
All right. Three then.
[man] Thank you.
I need ten times at least.
[Bogdan] That is if at all.
I work only impressive events
at luxury venues.
All right, fine.
Five times, okay?
Listen to me.
Listen, my friend.
There has to be there has to be style,
has to be class,
has to be glamor.
Glitter.
[sighs]
Mm.
[Bogdan] When you build an elegant hotel,
then maybe we can revisit
this conversation.
I had a good day, you know.
Consider it a present from me to you.
A present?
Mm-hmm.
Sometimes
I offer my gift to the world,
it's just what I do.
You must think you're pretty special then?
I do, yeah.
You're just some fag.
[Bogdan breathes deeply]
[grunts, groans]
Hey, take it easy, all right?
Yeah, I am taking it easy, I'm all right.
It's just that this kind of thing
[grunts]
- [groans]
- [crowd exclaims]
[man 1] You all right?
What's wrong?
You getting beat up by a fag?
[man 2] Hey!

[groans]
- Hey!
- Easy, easy.
- [grunts]
- [glass shatters]
- [Tomas] Hey!
- Get them out of here!
You cock!
- Calm down!
- Okay. Okay, guys.
[man 3] Hey!
You should be fucking raising chickens,
not entertaining people!
[grunting]
[Tomas] Stop!
[quirky music playing]
Stop it.
[Tadek breathing heavily]
We go now. Okay?
- Yeah?
- [exhales heavily]
Darek!
- [breathes heavily]
- Okay.
[man 3] Hey, hey, don't do it.
Leave him alone.
- [glass shatters]
- [groans]
[man 2] It's not polite to hit foreigners!
Hey! You fag!
Okay, come on! You sissy! Huh?

You were.

Neither have you.

Nothing.
Nothing?
Eh, so be it.

to think that way?
