Maestro (2022) s01e06 Episode Script

1
Hi! Are you from Corfu?
From the band?
Hi.
No.
So why are you here?
I'm just waiting for Orestis.
Thank you.
Oh, okay. [soft chuckle]
You're from Athens, right?
Visiting, huh?
A friend?
I'm Maria. I'm in charge here, you know?
Um I'm assisting
with the organization of the festival.
The music, the choir, the teacher.
I'm a
P.A.
Hi, Maria.
I'm Alexandra.
I'm Orestis' wife.
Oh!
My God, that's so nice!
I'm so glad to finally meet you.
That's so great, Alexandra.
How lovely that you came to our island.
Good for you!
Uh
Did you have a hard time
finding the school?
No.
I asked.
Uh [mutters]
Can I get you anything?
Maybe something to eat? A coffee?
No, thank you.
I'll just wait until the class is done.
Excellent.
Why don't you come inside?
Does Orestis know that you're here?
I came outside
to have a smoke and make a few calls.
I've got some work to do,
so I'll wait. Thank you.
[ominous music playing]
[inaudible]
CHAPTER VI - MUSICAL CHAIRS
[Orestis] Musical chairs.
I always thought that game was repulsive.
Everyone runs around empty chairs.
They laugh, they listen to music,
they're having fun,
and suddenly, when the music stops,
they fight for a seat.
On the first round, the lucky ones
stand directly next to a chair.
On the next round,
they may not be so lucky.
Everyone laughs at the loser.
They point and make fun of them,
And then they do it all over again,
and again, and again,
until there's only one left.
Alone.
[jazz music playing]
I've always had one dream.
To be a pianist.
[man on phone] Wow, that's amazing,
you can actually hear us talk
through this thing?
Yeah, Dad, that's why
it's called a mobile phone.
- [man] What do you know
- [woman] Hello dear, how are you?
I'm fine, Mom. How about you?
[woman] Oh, yesterday, while I was making
stuffed vegetables, I burst into tears.
Stop it Mom, come on.
That's enough already, please.
[woman] Please come to the bus station
tomorrow morning to get them.
[man] Let me talk to my boy.
Congratulations, Orestis.
You'll go far in life.
Don't listen to them.
Times are changing, son.
We're in Europe now.
People will start to make money.
We'll all be using the same currency.
Equal opportunities.
Everyone will be happier,
including you, son.
That European bandwagon
is a big deal, son.
Are you listening?
All you have to do is jump on it.
Forget about today, think about tomorrow.
Today is a collection
of dispersed moments.
Invest in the future!
- [woman] Be careful!
- [man screams]
[car crash sounds]
[dramatic somber music playing]
[Orestis] My generation
is the luckiest. We've got it easy.
We're happy and carefree.
Everything's just easier, faster.
It's all more accessible.
There's uniformity everywhere.
Globalization, the Euro,
advertising, the stock market,
joy, merchandise, multiplexes.
and the internet.
Somewhere along the way, I lost myself.
I'm moving through life
on two different paths.
One following the crowd
and the other one, on my own.
All alone.
[man on TV] It is a national
and pressing need
to officially request
from our partners in the European Union
to activate the support mechanisms
we created together.
I've already instructed
the Secretary of Treasury
to proceed with all the necessary actions.
["Prelude and Fugue in C Major"
by David Hill playing]
[traffic humming]
Hi.
Hello.
Are you bored?
No, it's alright.
You look like you are.
I mean, it is my job.
You play beautifully.
Thank you.
- Plans for later?
- Come again?
- You're quite forward.
- Uh, yeah.
[laughs]
I like it.
We can go for a drink if you want to.
I do, but I'm still working.
That's okay.
I'm not going anywhere. I live here.
Alright, then.
[classical music playing]
Hello.
Hi.
Looking for Orestis?
He went into town to run an errand.
Hi. I'm Fanis.
Alexandra.
I'm Orestis' friend here on the island.
He's my husband.
Oh
Congratulations on your island.
I haven't had time
to see everything, but it looks beautiful.
Coffee?
No, thanks. I just had a coffee.
I'll drop by some other time.
I'll see you.
[inhales]
[traffic sounds in distance]
I'LL BE BACK IN THE AFTERNOON.
YOU CAN WAIT IF YOU WANT!
["Going Home" by Vent playing]
- Klelia?
- Leave me alone!
What's wrong? What happened?
Klelia?
Klelia!
[knocking on door]
Klelia, will you open the door?
What's wrong?
I'm fine, go away!
- [Sofia] Klelia!
- Go away!
I'm fine, it's nothing! Go away!
[cries]
[Alexandra] Shipping.
A family business.
I'm an oil broker with my own firm.
It's a boring job.
[Orestis] Why do you do it?
[Alexandra] I find it easy,
I'm good at it,
I get to travel all over
and I make a lot of money.
Do you live here?
Back and forth
between Greece and Geneva. And you?
I, uh only live in Athens.
I don't know if I'm good at what I do
but I'm not making any money.
I don't have the luxury to travel.
I'm the exact opposite of you.
- An artist.
- That I am.
I'm jealous of people
who get to live so freely.
It wasn't by choice.
Would you change it?
Tomorrow.
So desperate?
[laughs]
Would you change it?
No.
Sure, my job may be boring,
but I quite enjoy
the life that I'm living.
Don't you miss anything?
I always miss something.
You're talking to an oil broker who deals
with international shipping firms.
I'm one of the greediest people on Earth.
[gentle music playing on radio]
- Are you mad at me for coming?
- Yes.
It's very nice on the island.
There was no other way to see you.
How long are you staying?
I'd like to stay for a while.
If that's okay with you, of course.
I went as far away
from you as I could, Alexandra.
How can I be okay with it?
The girl playing the piano?
I saw how she looked at you,
I'm not stupid.
For God's sake, Orestis,
this isn't a good idea.
I haven't done anything
and I'm not going to.
You were flattered.
I understand. She's very beautiful.
- I really don't mind.
- [scoffs]
I bet you don't mind.
I never would have imagined
you'd like this place so much.
Because you don't know me.
Okay, I'd like to speak
with you when you're ready.
I can wait.
Is there a second bedroom?
Yeah, of course there is.
Are you in love with her?
That's strange.
I thought that wasn't possible for you.
[in French] I've said it a thousand times!
Why do I constantly have to repeat myself?
But it's the third time I'm asking.
We'll do what I say,
exactly as I say. No mistakes.
I've been trying for months.
I don't want any losses
because of your incapacity.
Does he agree?
Alright, go ahead and sign it.
Yes, sign it.
["Divertimento No. 17 in D Major"
by Bernhard Güller playing]
[indistinct chatter]
[quietly speaking in French]
[in English] Alexandra tells me
you've been together for six months now.
[Orestis] Ten.
And you're still holding up?
We get along fine.
- She says you're a pianist.
- Yes.
I've always appreciated artists.
You're from another place.
You lost your parents
when you were young, right?
- I did, unfortunately.
- It's tough.
Yeah, I was young too, when I lost them.
I was very lonely.
We're similar in this regard.
People like us are incapable
of bonding with anything.
You seem to belong somewhere,
but you actually belong nowhere.
Well, that isn't always the case.
Don't worry.
I don't worry about my daughter.
I have a huge soft spot
for her, but trust me,
she's more of a killer than I am.
She trusts you, that's why you're here.
Tell me, Orestis,
does everything have a price
in your opinion?
Um
Not at all.
We disagree on that.
For me, life is about favors.
When we owe to one,
we always owe to another.
That's how we survive,
it's how we get ahead.
If you give nothing, you get nothing.
Now, of course, you're an artist Orestis,
so you may see things more romantically,
and more idealistically.
But I am a technocrat.
And we are the ones
who keep everything running smoothly.
Maybe it would be a better world
if it was run by artists,
philosophers, poets.
But let's be realistic.
[in French] I'm paying
for your trip. For all of you.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. [chuckles]
[in English] You know that she's serious
about your relationship, right?
I am too.
Course you are.
That's why you're here.
Alexandra!
[in French] Isn't he charming?
I know, he's very cute.
[Alexandra's father laughs]
What are you two talking about?
I can't say.
[in English] Cheers.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
["Sonata No. 1 in G Minor"
by Bretislav Novotny playing]
[reporter] Today, the first
loan facility agreement will be signed
with the EU countries
as well as with the IMF.
In total, these agreements
will be referred to as memorandum.
This agreement facilitates our country
to cope with its financial obligations.
Its harsh terms include the freezing
of the moveable property of Greece.
As well as the irrevocable
and unconditional waiver
of any immunity
provided by its national sovereignty.
Greece cannot ask
for loan assistance from any power
other than its creditors
in accordance with article four,
which adheres to the total commitment
of its public property.
Bravo!
Klelia?
May I speak with you?
So, um
- I owe you an explanation.
- You don't need to.
Alexandra is
Your wife, yeah,
we've all figured that out.
We've been separated for a long while.
I didn't know she'd come to the island,
- nor did I intend to lie to you.
- So what's your point?
Our relationship exists solely on paper.
It's a very complicated story
and it's over.
But you didn't do me any wrong.
I just had the wrong idea.
It's my mistake, not yours.
You made no mistake, Klelia.
I said nothing because it has nothing
to do with you, okay?
She's a very attractive woman.
Now you have some peace and quiet here,
you might as well get back together.
Don't do this please.
Why not?
What we had was absolutely nothing at all.
Just one stupid moment.
There's no need to feel uncomfortable.
I admit I got carried away.
Yeah.
So did I, Klelia.
They're waiting for me.
[somber music playing]
[sighs]
[breathing heavily]
- Here, take this.
- What is it?
- It's a pill to calm you down.
- I don't want it, Mom.
I'm having trouble breathing
and my stomach aches. That's all.
Come on. Klelia, take it.
You're having a panic attack. Come on.
Trust me, honey.
I know.
It'll pass.
It'll pass.
Klelia, I'm not stupid.
- Want to talk about it?
- No.
Tell me how I can help you.
You can't.
[Sofia] Okay.
Okay.
Will you let me stay here with you?
Can I at least do that? Hmm?
A truce, just for today?
Mom, do whatever you like.
I just want this panic attack to go.
I feel like I'm about to die.
Baby.
You can trust me.
- I understand how you feel.
- Does it go away?
Yes.
And then it comes back,
and then it goes away again.
Give it some time.
I don't want to talk about it. [sniffs]
[Sofia] Okay.
Say something else.
Something else,
something else, something else
I'm know that I'm not
the best mother in the world, Klelia.
But if you just give me one more chance,
the two of us might get along better.
Anything else?
- I really envy you.
- What?
And at the same time
I'm extremely proud of you.
That's why you're giving me pills?
[laughs]
You have all the strength
that I never had.
And look how I ended up.
I envy what you have with my mother,
something I never had.
And she has with you the relationship
that I wish I had with my daughter.
I'm stuck somewhere in between.
Mom, sounds like
you should take a pill too.
Him coming here shows
he must have been unhappy with his life.
And his marriage too.
Thirty years difference.
Yeah, it's a lot.
However, age has never been
a requirement for real love.
Give yourself some time, see how you feel.
[sniffles]
When I play the piano,
all I can think about is him.
I only wish I knew
what he thinks when he's watching me play.
Mom,
I can't be that wrong about him.
The Troika have set three conditions
that Greece must fulfill
in order to get the money
from the second rescue package.
First, all government bonds
will lose half their value.
Shall we?
Second, Greece must implement
even more harsh austerity measures
Why are you dressed like that?
What's with the tie?
We're not going to an office,
you're not a clerk.
We're going to a jazz bar.
Wear that blue shirt I got you.
Politicians sign an agreement,
guaranteeing their continuous support
for the new austerity measures.
[jazz music playing]
Here's one a colleague
told me in the restroom.
What does a Black man
and a bicycle have in common?
They both need a chain to work.
Oh, Andreas,
I love you.
[Andreas] Oh, my God
[laughter]
Look, this whole situation
isn't a problem for us.
It may even benefit us.
We get to do our business anyway,
and on top of that they need our support.
And beyond the whole show
that they're putting on,
business is business.
And if they fall?
If they fall, all the better.
No matter who takes their place.
Who ever takes over this
is going to need our support.
The agenda won't change.
I really don't think
it will get to that point, you know?
Yeah, it would be such a shame
if everyone's efforts went to waste.
We've been suffering for two years now.
Oh, no.
I've told you so many times already,
I asked for sparkling water.
[scoffs]
The quality of restaurants
in Athens is deteriorating.
[Lisa] Oh, guys! [laughs]
We went to Mr. Chow
in London the other night.
Oh! What a masterpiece!
It was probably the best sushi
I've ever had in my life.
And they had the best service.
- It was flawless.
- Absolutely.
The music, the atmosphere, the people.
They serve amazing desserts here.
Excuse me, can you please tell him
to stop playing the piano?
I'm getting an earache with all the noise.
That jazz music is so monotonous, right?
Hey, Andreas, come on.
I'm getting a headache
from all this [imitates jazz noise]
Hey, can you tell him to stop?
I'll pay him 200 euros
to stop playing the piano.
Have him join us
at our table, we'll get to know him.
- He can even join us.
- You're so mean.
Come on. Don't pay
any attention to him, he's drunk.
Andreas, have you forgotten
that Orestis is also a musician?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, sorry, Orestis.
So you play like that too?
The truth is, I guess jazz
can get old after a while for some people.
- I get that.
- Ha!
But you play jazz too, love.
Yeah.
But now I'm more focused
on classical music.
And do you still pursue that hobby?
It's not a hobby.
His job is to perform music.
Yes, he's a very good musician.
To be honest,
I've kind of stopped it lately.
He's learning our business.
Oh, that's better.
There's a brighter future there.
[Lisa] What should we have?
- That looks good.
- [Lisa] Oh, crème brûlée
Okay, crème brûlée
[ominous music playing]
[sighs]
Besides being stupid, that man
is extremely stuck up and rude.
Yeah, but we love him
because he's been a friend for years
and he has the widest network
of any of my clients.
Plus he's buddies
with half the government here.
The money he saves me on taxes
is 20 percent of my turnover.
Fine.
Can't you just work
with him and not love him?
- Or refuse to have dinner with him?
- Come on, he's fun.
- Mm.
- He had a bad day, that's all.
What volume does he get you?
- He brings the whole of Asia.
- Including Korea?
Well done, my love.
What about the KERSER contract,
he got you that?
You're so scary!
- Yes.
- Did you make an offer?
Are you doing it on purpose?
Mm
I don't think you'll get a counter offer.
- I've had a good teacher.
- [laughs]
[kissing]
[chuckling]
[groans]
I have confirmation.
They will be able to do this delivery
upon arrival on that day.
I just need to know as soon as possible.
Yes, they have other vessels
waiting for offers.
We need to hurry.
[phone rings]
He told me to wait.
He has five minutes of validity.
Tell him the market's up.
- Come on, it's all there!
- Paul,
market is coming up
and they‘re pushing for confirmation.
We have five minutes validity.
We may lose the slot
if we don't reply on time.
Okay, thank you.
He'll call me back.
That's bullshit! He's stalling
to send feedback to the other guy.
Call him back now.
Tell him we have another request
for the same volume
and that the supplier
will drop us if we don't answer now!
Hey, look.
They just called back
and they want an answer right now.
They're about to drop
an offer to another ship as we speak.
Come on, it's right there.
That's great!
Okay, sure.
Let me call them back
and I'll send over the contract.
Okay! Thanks, Paul, thanks a lot. Thanks.
- [puts phone down]
- [laughs]
- We've closed it, man!
- Of course we did, man!
Well done, boy.
It was that easy? I mean And now what?
Do you need to ask?
You just sold four thousand tons
and got yourself 25 grand commission.
All in one day.
Was it hard? Hm?
No.
Listen, Orestis,
I know that all of this
is very strange to you
and you probably don't like me
that much. I don't give a fuck.
But I consider Alexandra like my family,
so you're family too.
Is earning a little money
on your own really that awful
if you already have the clients
and also the access?
- No.
- Hm?
Think of it as a second job.
One thing.
There wasn't another request
for the same volume, was there, right?
Nor did any other supplier
ever make a drop?
[scoffs] Of course there wasn't.
Welcome.
[ominous music playing]
- [Charalambos] Hey.
- Hi, Charalambos.
What's this I hear?
You're a married man
and you were hiding it from us?
Was I supposed to share this information?
[laughs]
I like you.
You're the man.
She's quite good-looking,
and she's got plenty of money,
so I'm told.
And I thought you were boring,
but it turns out
you've told your fair share of lies.
- What did you say?
- You appear like a saint
who came to teach music,
art, and all that crap
but you really only came here to hide.
It's pretty obvious you have
your own bag of dirty laundry too.
Did you cheat on her
and she kicked you out? [laughs]
You're wasted.
We both know what happens when you are.
Don't make me go to the police.
Get a hold of yourself.
How are you?
Well, with all that's going on,
how can I feel good?
These punks will ruin
the country at this rate.
Wasn't it ruined already?
[chuckles]
The last thing I need
is for my son-in-law to be a socialist.
Is there still a political left and right?
Yes, of course there is.
As long as there are prices,
markets and stakes,
people will continue to shape ideologies
and sustaining the status quo
And you know
how much this benefits me, right?
And you, by extension.
It's lovely when people fight each other,
It gives us enough room
to conduct our business.
I hadn't thought of it in that way.
What's going on?
Will they not take our order?
How long are you staying for?
I'm leaving tonight.
I only came here for a meeting,
and to see you two, of course.
- Are you two doing well?
- Fine. We're fine.
Which of you has the problem?
- What problem?
- With having a child.
Neither of us.
Why should we be having a problem?
Why wait, then?
We're together.
Okay, but what's the plan?
- What plan exactly?
- Why did you marry?
Time flies.
You have everything good in the world,
but what good is it
if you don't have children?
Alexandra is getting older
and all that obsession
of hers with work will subside.
She's a woman, it's incontestable.
And you're late.
I didn't have a son.
Only one daughter.
Logistics are not in my favor.
It's a pity, though.
And for you.
But why didn't you tell me anything?
I felt so awkward.
I saw her standing there and I froze.
Me too. She came
to the island a few days ago.
Listen, Alexandra and I
split up a long time ago.
- That's why I didn't say anything.
- Yeah?
I'm sorry. If there's anything
I can do to help
- No, I mean, you can't do anything.
- I see.
And so, that's why you left Athens
and came here?
It was one of the reasons.
Man, that's too bad, she seems so lovely.
You must have been nice together.
- How long did it last?
- Ten years.
And is she here long?
I don't know.
- Did you need something?
- Yeah.
I wanted just to look over
some dates for the festival.
I want to double-check everything.
- Alright.
- Uh
I wanted to ask you
about the 15th, 16th, 17th.
- How does that sound?
- Great.
Great.
I'll let everyone know.
And I wanted to give you
some of the money we agreed on.
- Oh Fanis, you don't have to.
- No, no, no, I want to.
And right after the festival,
I'll give you the rest
of the money that I owe you.
And when we're done,
I want you to pack your suitcase
and leave this island,
and never come near my daughter again.
[dramatic ominous music playing]
- Fanis
- I'm not discussing this.
I know.
She's not the most innocent
girl in the world.
And if something
has happened, I understand.
You can see I'm trying to keep my cool
and I'm telling you
to please keep away from her.
Very far away, in fact. You get it?
- I am far.
- Not as far as I need you.
There are not many days left.
Just finish and leave here.
Okay.
If you'd had a child,
you'd understand me.
[doctor] So
We got the results.
Everything appears
to be going very smoothly.
- Do you wish to know the gender?
- That's why we're here.
Hm.
You're having a girl.
["Chopin: Prelude No. 4 in E Minor"
by Stamford Blue playing]
[Orestis] What is misery?
Not being able to resist.
To think,
when you shouldn't be thinking.
To ignore when you're aware.
To play dumb when you're not.
To have the illusion that somehow,
this is the only way to survive.
To feel the constant need
to satisfy others,
not out of love,
but out of the need to be accepted.
To hate the person
that you say you love.
To lie about love.
Losing perspective, forgetting nature.
Friends dissipating.
Pressure, anger, blindness, fear.
Lobotomy.
I'm selling out.
I'm sinking. I live purely artificially,
materially.
The living dead, globalized,
with fine clothes and vapid acceptance,
without any real essence.
I'm rich,
successful,
a citizen of the world,
a despicable world where I've been taught,
if I want to fit in,
I must hide inside.
Did you have to plan the ultrasound
on the day I couldn't be there?
Come on, can you please
stop making a fuss?
It's just an anomaly scan.
It's not that big of a deal.
Your meeting is more important.
This appointment was important.
So is your appointment
with the conductor, Orestis.
We're indebted to many people
for this audition, you have to go.
I'm doing us a favor, don't you get it?
They won't take me on,
they want real professionals.
I thought you were one.
Have you not learned
a single thing from doing my job?
Play the role.
Come on, don't get stressed.
I'll come pick you up when I'm done, hm?
And please darling,
make sure you land this gig.
You'll never be a good broker,
let's not kid ourselves.
It doesn't even interest you.
At least this way,
our child's father
will be a successful musician.
["Love Passion"
by Jazz Erotic Lounge Collective playing]
[heartbeat sounds]
Cystic fibrosis.
In Greece, one in ten people
have it and you both do.
And this combination, rare as it is,
can cause this result.
There's a 50 percent chance
that this baby will have serious problems.
[orchestra manager] Mr. Emmanuel,
I read your resume
and your recommendations.
I know you want this very much
and believe me, we've tried
to persuade the director of the orchestra.
However, what he's after is very different
from what you're offering.
There are many candidates
for this position who are younger,
and more experienced
and skilled in what he's looking for.
Of course, it's not in my power,
but if your team has access
and can push things,
you know, even further,
then
You understand.
Yeah.
Of course, it's in your hands
to decide whether you want
to terminate this pregnancy.
But know that if this child is born,
she'll face many problems,
at least statistically.
She won't live for long.
Is it my fault?
[doctor] If you had done the test earlier,
we would have caught it
and we'd have terminated
this pregnancy early on.
And we can end it now?
We have two choices.
I either issue an IV now,
and in 24 hours we'll take the baby.
Deceased.
Yes.
Or you can give birth
via induced labor tomorrow,
and as soon as the baby is born
she will pass away immediately
because her lungs
won't be developed enough to support her.
If I give you the IV now,
her heart will stop
and she won't suffer at all.
Of course, you will have to carry her
for the next 24 hours.
I don't want to give birth
for her to end like this.
We'll do it immediately.
It's what I'd prefer.
I want to go alone for this tomorrow.
Do you mind?
Yes.
[thunder rumbles]
I was just being polite.
I want to go alone
and that's what I'll do.
I'll be done by noon
and I'll see you here.
We'll try a different way.
Everything happens for a reason.
[phone dings]
[in French] Hello?
What the hell are you doing?
Call the supplier, immediately!
Not now, yesterday!
Find the fucking difference
and call the authorities
or we'll be stuck for days!
I have a meeting and I can't talk.
No, no.
Nothing important.
I'm late.
Talk to you later.
[screams]
[horn honks]
[eerie music playing]
[plastic rips]
[ominous music plays]
[in English] She's been through a lot
and hides it.
What matters now is that you're patient
and that, uh,
you try your best to look the other way.
You've just described my marriage.
I'll be honest with you,
between you and me,
all this wasn't a surprise.
You knew exactly
what you were getting yourself into.
And that's how marriages work.
Yeah, mine seems to be ending.
You know that Alexandra
is like a little sister to me.
And I must confess
that I didn't like you at first.
- And I despised you.
- Everyone does, that's not news.
The thing is,
I want you two to be well together.
And it's you
who needs to put in the effort.
Do you still love her?
- I'll always be a stranger.
- So what?
You've benefited from all of this,
so let's stop the bullshit.
You have a woman who loves you,
who is smart, tolerant,
sexy, and so on and so forth,
and last but not least,
she has so, so, so much money.
[laughs]
Could you possibly do any better?
Have you ever felt so desperate
that you look at your wife
and all you can do
is hold out hope that somehow,
she'll get hurt.
Of course, every day. [laughs]
And you can stand it?
It pleases me. Want to know why?
Because I see a bunch of miserable people
searching for this familial happiness
and all this so-called love
and bullshit. [chuckles]
And they are forced to play a role
until they die of cancer.
Okay, sure, not even my kids like me,
but at least I get to sleep well at night.
I fuck, too.
You really are detestable.
[laughs] I know that,
isn't it amazing though?
[groans]
God, how much I love me. Mm.
It's decided, next month
you're coming with us
on the boat to the Ionian
to let off some steam.
You need a vacation,
both you and Alexandra.
You two need to fix all your problems
and sort yourselves.
Find some peace.
I've known her for years. She's never been
with anyone for this long.
Okay bud, see you later.
["Lujon" by Henry Mancini playing]
[door opens]
I'm going out for a walk.
- Would you like to come?
- You go.
I don't want to.
There's nothing to see
on this island. I've been here before.
You're better off on the boat.
- Be back for lunch by 2:00.
- Okay.
PAXI MUSIC FESTIVAL
20 JUNE - 26 AUGUST 2019
[boat horn honks]
Hey Maria, tell my brother
that you should never ever
put sugar in your coffee.
[Maria] It's okay, you can put some in.
I appreciate it.
[church bells ringing]
["Mr. Lucky (Goes Latin)"
by Henry Mancini playing]
[somber music playing]
[Orestis] Sometimes,
our lives are like
the musical chairs we played as kids.
And this was my life.
[cheering]
Everybody runs around empty chairs
and suddenly, when the music stops,
they fight for a seat.
And then again, and again, and again.
[laughter]
I would see, hear, and do things
but I was never able to fit.
To find my own seat at the table.
Instead of feeling secure
and happy,
[jazz music playing]
I had turned into a self-conscious person,
full of repressed desires
and sinister thoughts.
[speaking French]
[speaking French]
Cheers, everybody!
When I lived in New York,
I stayed in this amazing loft,
you should have seen it.
[ominous music playing]
[dramatic, ominous music playing]
[dramatic, ominous music continues]
[jazz music playing]
[chattering]
You know that piano,
it's been so long since you've touched it.
I want a divorce.
The majority of couples
that go through crisis
after such a sudden event
It's not sudden.
How come I haven't realized it?
Because you don't care.
I have huge problems at work.
Our lives are changing,
It's not the right time
to make such decisions.
- I need you and I'd rather we didn't
- I've made up my mind, Alexandra.
Can we at least not do it now? As a favor.
Can you do that for me?
Well, you're on your own
anyway, aren't you?
I'm only here for display.
I saved you at a time when you needed me.
Can't you do the same for me now?
You saved me?
[Alexandra] Yes.
You saved me?
Yes.
You were a loser.
You entered my life
when searching for one. No?
What, you fell in love with me?
You want us to play
that show we put on for others?
"Oh, time stood still
the moment I saw his face."
"Our eyes met and I knew from the start
that the two of us
were going to live something so intense."
"It was like thunder,
I immediately felt
like I had found my other half."
"And it's not just being in love,
it's actual love,
faith, respect, friendship, joy."
"He's the one for me."
Ugh, obnoxious.
Disgusting.
I despise you
and everything you represent.
Why?
Because I succeeded
in something and you didn't?
Because you'll never change.
When did I ever say I wanted to?
Are you kidding me?
You don't even have the guts to admit
that you're sick of being a kept man.
You're so pathetic
that you want to make me feel bad first,
- to justify your own insufficiency.
- Insufficiency?
And misery, so much misery.
I've been miserable with you,
I want to go
as far as I can away from you.
And you'd be wise to do so.
I'm only asking you
not to do it right now.
But you want the drama.
No drama.
How long have you been fucking Andreas?
Since before we met each other?
- Do you really care?
- No.
But this means I don't owe you anything.
You owe me.
Okay.
Would it change anything
if I apologized to you?
Not at all.
If I owe you, then tell me,
what can I do to repay you?
By getting lost forever.
[inhales]
Throughout all of these years,
when I wasn't feeling good
my relationship with Andreas
has always been this way.
Without it affecting
my normal life whatsoever.
That child was so lucky
to have never been born after all.
So very lucky.
[grunts]
By the time I get home
tomorrow, I want you gone.
["Piano Concerto No. 5 in E-Flat Major" by
Danish National Symphony Orchestra plays]
[Orestis] Klelia?
Can you hear me?
You can't.
I came here to get away.
And I met you.
Do you know what happiness is?
Being free.
Like you.
Each of us has a past.
You're building your own now.
And I'm now finding mine in front of me.
I don't know how much farther away
I need to run to escape it.
Klelia?
Can you hear me?
I can't take my eyes off of you.
Off your freedom, your talent,
your beauty, your youthfulness.
Off everything that you are.
I owe you an apology
for all the things
that I am too afraid to fight for.
You.
