Peace Cup

SUMMER OF THE YOUNG
POLAND IN ITS WHOLE BEAUTY
Good luck.
He seems to be in a good mood.
- Got an A?
- Only after the retake.
- Mm.
- Next please.
You have poor grades.
Don't like studying?
What'll you do after you graduate?
Is my answer going to affect
my grade somehow?
I'd just like to know
where you see yourself in ten years?
I don't know.
You should think about it.
Less partying, fewer distractions.
And you still might have
an academic career.
And you?
Where will you be in ten years?
Still right here?
GLITTER
You'll look good in this.
Will you come?
You have to go out eventually.
Everyone who means anything
will be there today.
Smile for a change. Put on some makeup.
I guess I'll never be exactly like you.
I won't pretend things are super
when it's the complete opposite.
You're leaving your child.
That's a tough call.
- I'm not leaving him!
- But when
I look at you lying on your back,
lounging in bed smoking,
unkempt, wearing my clothes,
I'm convinced that at any minute
you'll run crying to your mommy.
STUDENT'S BOOK
How did it go?
Pass or fail, I think we deserve a beer.
Don't worry. He's a sad guy.
So much for being an authority,
writing a bunch of books
that no one even reads.
Unless they have to.
- Free-thinking people annoy him.
- Hmm.
So what now? Final retake?
I don't have to.
I got an A too.
- Then we should grab a beer.
- Mm.
Why do some win while others don't?
Not because they're better.
They think they are, though.
You gotta believe in yourself.
For example, I believe in myself.
You think I'm gonna carry trays
and serve tables for the rest of my life?
Or rot behind the bar like Zenon?
- No. I have a plan.
- Pola.
- So you're staying with Karmen?
- Mm-hmm.
It's about Jozio.
Here you are.
When I first started out here,
I rented a room from some folks nearby.
A tiny room with a sink, like a cubbyhole.
Sometimes I looked after their daughter.
Ola. She was just about Jozio's age.
I used to wash myself in that sink.
I would wash one arm at a time,
then the legs.
When they weren't home,
I used to take baths in their bathroom.
But one day, they caught me in the tub,
and then, I had to move out right away.
Ola cried a lot.
She begged her parents to let me stay.
I just wanted
I just wanted her to stop crying.
They made me go anyway.
As a goodbye, she gave me
amber. Not an ordinary piece,
but it was, um
It was
beautiful.
With an insect trapped inside of it.
- You could see the legs and wings.
- Uh
why are you telling me this?
Hmm.
You're strong.
Maybe even stronger than I am.
Pola!
You don't look well.
- This is not a bad solution.
- Sure.
You have Józek all to yourself.
You'll still come to visit us.
Finally, you won't have to be ashamed.
Maybe France?
Like comrade Edward.
Or West Germany.
What do you plan to do?
Whatever. I can do
manual labor in some factory.
I'll learn more there
than in some schools.
Manual labor?
I live for exhaustion.
And what then?
- I'll make a lot of money.
- How?
The normal way. Fair and square.
So you won't return?
And you?
I'll earn a lot of money too.
Mm.
Don't know how yet, though.
I envy you.
I live with my parents.
When someone comes to visit
- Mother always listens.
- Hmm.
I'm sorry.
Mm.
I don't want to.
Why not?
I, uh don't feel anything.
You got hard.
You're attractive.
You're attractive.
Exactly.
Why journalism?
It serves the truth.
Mm.
A long story.
Tell me.
When we had to flee
from Algeria to France,
I was a spoiled boy,
thinking life would still be kind.
For the French, I was Algerian.
My mother is Algerian, you remember?
But for the Algerians, I was French.
For the hardworking,
I was too educated.
For the rich, I was too poor.
I didn't know who I was.
So I took different jobs.
Just to earn my living.
Writing was maybe slightly more sexy.
And the other jobs?
Nothing interesting, really.
Are you okay?
Just a headache.
In a moment,
Martial Jacek Wąsowski
will perform with Casablanca.
We are not a powerhouse at dressage,
or much else for that matter.
Perhaps it's better to say
we aren't "yet"?
Because in this particular discipline
we've only just begun
our climb to the top,
- and yet we already dream of dominance.
- That's better.
That is something
we were always the best at.
Meanwhile, let's be glad
that these equestrians from the GDR,
Hungary and Czechoslovakia
decided to come here!
Let's immerse ourselves in this global
Oh, let's not get carried away.
Central and Eastern European vibe.
We're about to witness
another display of charm,
precision, true composure, and obedience.
There, easy. Calm down. There, easy.
Here
Yours?
He's my favorite.
Hmm?
Hey.
- Fingers straight.
- Mm-hmm.
Mm.
Here.
One more time.
Mm-hmm.
Hey, hey. Don't, don't.
PEACE CUP '76
Do you want to back out?
Karmen wouldn't sign
the papers without you.
Everything is delayed.
Unexpected family complications.
Your family problem
shouldn't affect our business.
Neither should yours.
I see my offer has been declined, huh?
Your father-in-law suggested that I cut
ties with you in exchange for my license.
Introductions?
Yes, yes. This is, uh
There's no need really. One can see
from a distance you're very important.
Each of you should just carry on
doing what you do best.
You, making a good impression.
You, spending your late husband's money.
And you
selling yourself.
Stay right here.
But you sell yourself too, only cheaper.
You can't really believe in this whole
absurd political system.
I guess you believe too much
in your money.
It doesn't mean much here.
Only this idiot doesn't get it.
You get nothing, you know nothing.
That's probably why he chose you
for my husband.
You can't run away.
You're gonna stop me?
Tell me what to do, tell me what to think.
Go fuck yourself.
A large beer for you, sir.
God.
What an event that was!
After all, I know nothing about horses.
I told them to get someone who does.
But they said, "No! They want someone
who can give the people joy.
Did you make a fool of yourself again?
They paid well.
- You like it.
- A job is a job.
I would've much rather spent
the day with you.
Yeah, sure.
You don't believe me?
I don't believe what?
That I love you.
You don't believe it yourself.
You can't tell your feelings
from your act.
I know what I feel.
May I offer you a cherry liqueur?
- No, thank you.
- You all right?
Uh excuse me.
You could've told me
about my father-in-law.
What for?
We could've avoided the
altercation.
- Would you be afraid of me?
- Excuse me.
Are you two married or something?
Are you even a couple?
- You're disturbing us.
- I'm sorry.
- He said he'd get you your license?
- It doesn't matter.
You don't want it?
- What did he do?
- Why do you care so much?
He threatened you. I know him.
Even if he did,
it's really not your problem.
Um, excuse me.
It's me again.
I'm getting a strong impression
that you're not a couple.
What the fuck is your problem?
Just drop it.
Did he threaten your custody somehow?
- You have to tell me.
- I don't, all right?
I don't.
I don't owe you anything, Władek.
I just have to make sure, uh
Uh, are you taken?
Uh, because, if you're not taken
Oh, God. Oh, dear.
Couldn't you just have said she's taken?
- Get up. Get up. Get lost.
- Oh, God.
Oh, dear God.
Son of a bitch!
Some blood.
My father-in-law, he's the son of a bitch.
Did you buy one for yourself?
Hmm?
Too small.
- Oh.
- Oh!
No, no, no.
No way.
Uh-huh.
Fine, come here.
Oh.
Watch this.
No!
Well, well.
Hold it.
Would you like some tea?
Should I make up the sofa?
I'll make it up.
Bogdan! Wait.
What happened?
I'm just tired.
Well yeah, I would.
I would like to hold grudges sometimes.
But I just can't do it.
Besides, it's a waste of time.
I wouldn't have done it now.
I'm so sorry.
- I should've gotten you your license!
- Mm.
Hit me.
- No, come on.
- Here's your chance. Do it. Come on.
You know, if
if you'd given back my license,
none of this would have ever happened.
Huh. So you don't regret it?
What would I have done
with those shampoos anyway?
A tiny little room? Mother filling orders?
But perfume? That's big.
Not yet.
But it will be.
I have a feeling that it's
it's just gonna work out.
I'm going where I want to go.
We're a lot alike, you know that?
Yeah.
We'll do whatever
it takes not to be told what to do!
I don't like you.
I don't like you either.
I love you ♪
It's so easy to say it ♪
Bogdan, easy.
- Bogdan!
- I love you ♪
- Bogdan!
- That's all ♪
- There!
- Nothing more ♪
- Over there!
- Where?
- I told you!
- I'm here.
Bogdan, people are watch
Marek!
Ladies and gentlemen.
Ladies and gentlemen
We're closing. Everyone out.
You're hosting the festival party.
Oi!
Well
that remains to be fucking seen.
- How come?
- Huh?
Have a drink with me.
Pastale.
Pascale.
Your surname Polish or what, huh?
Probably ugly, huh?
Tell me
Pascale, or I won't host
the event tomorrow.
Tell me!
No!
I would've changed it too.
Bogdan.
Is your heart broken?
I don't have a heart.
It's all right. It's all right.
I can't. I can't.
It's all right.
I'm sure.
Hi.
Yeah, I know.
I'm sorry. I just needed
some time on my own.
It's okay now.
Yes, it is.
Um can we meet?
Great.
So I will call you tomorrow.
Okay?
Bye.
The keys.
