What About Sex?

1
Hmm?
Hmm?
- Come in. Mm.
- Thank you.
Oh.
That's good.
I didn't know this guy.
Me neither.
I just liked his smile on the cover.
How can you people buy all this here?
Here? In Poland?
We can't.
Hard to say just what
The outcome will be ♪
If you solve the riddle
You can save your soul ♪
Chase love's shadows
Until the rivers run cold ♪
Hey, baby ♪
Get it up, get it up for love ♪
Get it up, get it up for love ♪
GLITTER
THE WOMAN DESTROYED
Mm?
Eat.
We're doomed to each other.
It's sad.
But I'm practical.
Business with Karmen is
far more important than a few photos.
Let's not mess this up.
And sex?
Mm. May I have some water?
Delicious sweet roll.
- Did you bake it?
- What about our license to make shampoo?
Well
there's a problem.
Is there?
The license is revoked.
I tried.
It didn't work out.
As a civil servant, my hands are tied.
Then what are you still doing here?
Mm. I came here on business.
Drink.
You were supposed
to keep them away from the house.
A client?
A partner.
Partners don't stare like that.
Perfume.
A new business.
A huge one.
Small isn't enough for you now?
Big ones can't get shut down
by some asshole.
A top-tier guy in the party
can shut it down.
If you want,
you can still put on the labels.
The perfume will be much more elegant
than shampoo.
And will you also let me clean up, Pola?
For that, we'll hire people.
What's better?
Selling yourself in a hotel room
or whoring around with government scum
in an office?
You tell me.
Which one's better?
Rather, which one's worse?
I'm gonna go out.
We drill a hole at one-third
of its length from the top.
And you already know
from the laws of physics
that the longer the arm is,
then, the slower it is going to swing.
- This looks like a gun.
- So, the longer the pendulum,
- the lower the swing frequency will be.
- It is a gun.
- A safe one.
- That's exactly what we want.
Here, on the front side of the board,
right here, we placed a nail.
Here's the drilled hole.
So, if I insert it like this,
now, I can make the target
swing back and forth.
- What's the use of it?
- Now it's all about hitting
that moving target.
- It kills
- I don't know if I can do it,
- because I'm sitting down
- time.
and you don't actually shoot
very well while sitting.
Oh, I think I hit it.
People here in Poland
have plenty of time to kill.
I need to know you better.
I missed that one.
You're gonna have to practice
to get good at it.
- The Poles.
- It's not that easy, is it?
I wish you success
and I hope that you have some fun!
You're it!
Józek!
What's wrong, honey?
What is it, dear?
Grandma always gets the one
with powdered sugar.
All right, then.
Powdered sugar it is.
Apparently they're not fattening.
Your kids' leftovers.
Is Anna sick? She's usually here.
I gave her the day off today.
You have such a great mom.
Do you work? Is that why
you leave him with your mother?
You work in an office?
I make shampoo.
Super!
Oh, that's great!
A private business.
No, I understand.
You're probably
working around the clock. Cool.
It's tough, though.
Really tough.
Well, that feeling of guilt you get
when you leave your child
with someone else.
Obviously,
nothing compares to a mother's care.
Mm. I used to work.
In an office.
What else could I do
with an apprenticeship in Economics?
And then along came little Anielka.
How could I possibly leave
this sweet thing
just to push some papers around an office?
I made a deal with my husband
that I'd go back to work
once Anielka grew a little bit,
but I never got that far.
An accident.
But I'm happy.
Now I just think to myself,
why would I go back?
What for?
I heard cigarettes
are bad for your health.
I don't smoke.
I want to live.
For my grandkids.
What if there are no grandchildren?
What's left to live for?
Okay.
Should I feel encouraged or
We're even.
Józek!
Look what's happening, Jozio.
And ready
set
You're doing great.
You wanna try now? Come here.
UNDER THE TABLE
What's this about?
Excuse me.
Yoo-hoo!
Mm.
- Ready?
- Not yet.
Ready.
Divine.
As usual.
A little slower.
Don't you like it?
So
one more time, even slower.
It can be quicker.
Or even really fast.
COLLECTING THE MONEY
FOR THE FAMILIES OF THE WORKERS
Santé!
Na zdrowie!
They're slow, huh?
Shall we race?
Oh, yeah!
- Hold on now!
- Yeah!
Half off rent and electricity
for two years.
YOUR WORKPLACE IS YOUR SECOND HOME
- Mm.
- Renovation? What's your estimate?
How much exactly?
I'll do it so that it pays off.
That's what I like!
- Let's search for something
- Eh, something smaller?
in better condition.
So, when do we start the renovation?
- We can start whenever.
- And the formalities?
Pola. I'm paying for everything.
How about some trust?
If it doesn't work out,
you won't even notice.
- What's your problem?
- Your father-in-law
- he's not against it?
- Where's Jozio?
Józek?
Jozio!
Józek?
Jozio!
Józek?
Jozio!
Mom.
Why didn't you answer?
We kept calling you!
Why didn't you answer us, Józek?
Mm.
Focus!
I don't want to win like this.
Did you succeed?
I did.
The sex was really good.
"What happened? What happened?"
And the dachshund says,
"I don't have any idea!"
Oh, you're invited to join.
I should invite you. This is my home.
Yours?
Anna.
Karmen.
A nickname?
No. It's on my passport.
Although,
I do admit I picked out the name.
You spell it with a "C"?
Well, I used to.
But my Polish family
kept calling me "Tsarmen."
- What are you celebrating?
- The start of something very big.
Oh, the place you're going
to let me clean?
I think you enjoy being mean.
And I think you really enjoy
being a motherfucker.
Well, Wladzio
Hmm?
I would propose
a change of name for you as well.
- Oh.
- For example,
Malwina.
- Oh.
- It's so Polish.
It feels good.
Good association.
It changed my life so much.
I feel like a completely
different woman now!
A woman full of love.
How about just Ania?
Andzia, maybe?
No. That's too plebeian.
It doesn't really suit you.
Mm or Andrea?
Mom!
Can you tell him to come upstairs?
Would you?
Good evening.
Helena, it's
Bogusia.
Good evening.
Tennis, huh?
Did you win?
You're in such great shape.
I think I should start playing tennis too.
Definitely.
Maybe you could teach me.
And I could do your hair.
For free.
- Hmm
- When should I come?
Just to, uh, to dye your hair.
Uh
Excuse me.
Good night.
Good night.
Okay, Władek, you can go now.
No! You can go now.
Leave us!
Uh
I'll go then.
Get dressed.
Tell me why is that man
putting my grandson to sleep?
Could you explain?
Józek calmed down.
That's what's important.
How could you have taken him
to the hotel, though?
Should I have left my kid alone, like you?
Do you remember
when you sat at home for months?
Where do you think
the food that I brought in came from?
Or maybe you saw through the window
what I was doing with the boys
behind the dumpster?
I used to make all my money with my tits.
It's my ass now.
What's better?
Or rather, what's worse, huh?
We could have not eaten at all.
We had no choice.
And now, this
this is a choice. This
is something I'm choosing.
And it's none of your business at all.
Hands off! You can stick on labels,
you can clean,
you can do whatever you want.
If you could've been a better mother,
then maybe, you would've been.
Sit.
Goodbye.
