"SOME BIRDS CAN'T FLY" "I'm going." "Lunch is in the oven." "Where are you going?" "I'm going to meet your father." "Remind him to come to music school for the recital." "He promised." " I'll tell him." "Practice till one o'clock, and then please go straight to school." "When will you be back?" "I don't know." "I have a drama class afterwards." "In any case, straight home after that." "Jawohl, mein Firer!" "Remind him to add the Mermaid-Barbie bit to the alimony." " Your father is just an engineer of technology, not Rockefeller." " But, he promised." "All the girls..." "What's the matter?" "Lela!" "Oh, my God, sit down." "Lean your head back." "Raise your arm." "How do you feel now?" "We're going to see the doctor tomorrow." "Come on, don't panic." "But, this is third time in ten days." "Are you in pain?" "No." "Okay, take the sweater off, it's all stained with blood." "And what is this?" " What?" "This bruise on your arm." "Probably from the P.E. Class." "We are playing" ""Between two fires" The ball must have hit me." "I'll call the doctor." " And the army, and the fire brigade." "Why are you so worried?" "Go." " Get dressed." "I won't be long." "Remind him about the concert on Saturday." "Tell him to bring Radivoje..." "and the Mermaid-Barbie." "Teacher." "What happened?" "Vesna..." "Vesna, sweety..." "Vesna..." "Teacher, nobody touched her." "What's the matter with you, sweety?" "I don't know, I just felt dizzy." "She just suddenly..." "for no reason..." "Don't worry about it." "I had nosebleeds when I was a kid." "Very often." "My late mother sure washed a load of blood stained" "T- shirts, even till after my teens..." "It's nothing." "And she's all A's, eh?" " Yes." "And you should find someone." "Life is short." "There is someone." "But he's married." "Who is he?" "Do I know him?" "He's working with you in the bank, right?" "The boss?" "Or colleague?" "Do I know him?" " You do." "Come on, tell me, who is he?" "Kevin Costner." "The hell..." "Kevin Costner." "Bill, please." "There..." "Costner..." "That's for the Mermaid-Barbie, too." "Good evening." " Good evening." "What happened?" "She felt a little ill at school, so the two of us came home, I didn't want to leave her alone..." "What's the matter, Lela?" " My head aches." "We've already had our tea and aspirin..." "See, the temperature is almost back to normal." "Shall I call the Doctor?" " There's no need for that now, but take her tomorrow, definitely." "Let her rest now." "Momma's little sweety..." "I'm going now." "Bye, Vesna." "Let me..." "You should take her to the Doctor tomorrow." "Yes, I will." "I don't know how to thank you." "Good bye." " Good bye." "Thank you very much, again." "Do you feel better now, Lela?" "I'm all right." "My head aches a bit." "And look at this..." " Mermaids-Barbie." "Is it from Dad?" " Yes..." "And this is for all A's." "Those are the new ones that have little wheels, like ice skates..." " In-lines." "Yes, and at the end of the school year, if you have all A's at music school, you'll get a bike." "What happened?" "Did he win the lottery?" "I don't know, but he told me to kiss you for him." "Is he coming to the concert on Saturday?" "He promised." "Vesna, you're a really big girl." "You've grown at least 4 inches since I last saw you." "I can see you are going to be a model." "When did those glands appear?" " I don't know." "I didn't notice them." " And those bruises?" "The ball must have hit me." "We played "Between two fires"." "Okay." "Get dressed." "Madam, I am going to send her to a specialist." " What's the matter with her?" "A little inflammation, probably..." "Adolescence, spring..." "A bit of everything." "It's nothing to worry about." "She shouldn't have breakfast in the morning, because of the blood test." "How many times did you feel weak or dizzy?" "Two or three times." "Okay, there you are." "Ill see you when you finish this." "What about school?" " She should stay at home for a few days." " But I have a concert on Saturday!" "A concert is all right." " Good bye." " Good bye." "Goodbye." "I'm not panicking, man, I'm just telling you that something serious is happening to the child..." "Spring, adolescence, that's all nonsense..." "I can't speak louder, she'll hear me..." "All right, I'll speak faster." "Dušan, one Doctor is telling me about adolescence and spring, and the other said the bottle with the blood sample broke, and that the test had to be repeated." "Can't you see they're all excuses, and... and..." "Can't you see?" "Okay, then why did they tell me to come with my husband on Monday?" "Come on, explain that..." "Who's panicking?" "All right..." "You'll come to the concert tomorrow?" "Well, of course she'll be happy to see you..." "All right, Dušan bye, good night..." "And I don't know how I'll sunrise until Monday." "When is my big sister going to play?" " In a minute." "And now, Vesna Boži?" ", pupil of the fourth grade of the "Stevan Mokranjac" music school, will play" ""The Song of Solveig" by Grieg." "Could you, please tell Professor Mrvaljevi?" "to come and see Dr. Petrovi?" ", as soon as he comes back." "Dušan Boži?" "." "Who were you talking to?" "Mrvaljevi?" "is the hospital principal." "Which Mrvaljevi?" " Well, Mrvica." "You don't remember him, he was in a senior class." "Our Mrvica?" "Of course I remember him, he headed the drama section." " That's the one." "Boži?" "." "Please, have a seat." "Would you like a cup of coffee?" " No." " No, thank you." "Well... you see..." "It's rather a delicate matter..." "Please, don't beat about the bush." " I beg your pardon?" "The truth." " I'm afraid the news is not good, at all." "And what..." "It can't be..." "It's the worst." "But you're both educated people..." "What is the worst, Doctor?" " Leukemia..." "That's impossible." "Didn't you make a mistake?" " That possibility is ruled out, unfortunately." "Oh, come on..." "Leukemia, my foot!" "Please, on what basis?" "I had nose bleeds every day when I was a kid..." "There, Mrvica knows..." "Isn't that so, Mrvica?" "A drunken lab technician added one more zero to the leukocyte count of our friend, "Concrete" Laza..." "Leukemia, that's rubbish." "I won't hear of it..." "You're totally out of your minds..." "I insist on the test being repeated." "The lab technician will have to answer for this." "Come now, calm down..." " It's not the first time results have got mixed up..." "I insist that the test be repeated." "I insist." "I know my rights!" "Is there a cure, Mrvica?" "There, Mr Principal." "Calm down..." "There..." "How much time?" "What are her chances?" "There are medical miracles..." "And without miracles?" "A year..." "A few months more, or less..." "That's it..." "Wash your face." "Don't let the girl see you like that." "And what now?" "Blood transfusions." "Bone-marrow transplants, hospital..." "When?" " Well, right now." "Oh, please don't..." "Give us a day or two to prepare her..." "It can't do any harm." "It can't, but come tomorrow, all three of you." "Vida and you could be potential bone-marrow donors." "What do you mean - potential?" "Yours might be suitable, but then it might not..." "Fuck..." " Father, mother, brothers, sisters, grandfathers, grandmothers..." " What if nobody's is good?" "Well, we might find a stranger..." "What about abroad?" "You don't have the money..." "We know everything they do, only the medication is easier to get there..." "And that costs money..." "Can you go out now?" "74,000." "That's a new record." "Duka, look." "Well done." "What's wrong with me?" "I mean, what disease have I got?" " Nothing." "It's normal at your age." "Right, Doctor?" " Your momma went through all that." "Almost every woman does." "Right, Vidosava?" "Well, I'll take you to lunch now." "See you, Doctor..." "Listen, Lela..." "Ehm... you're a big girl..." "Daddy is proud of you..." "It's no big deal..." "I mean, these things happen..." "It's just for a few days..." "I know, I have to go to the hospital." "How?" "In hell's name, how?" "Nine is wrong, Vida's is wrong, my brother's is wrong, Vida's three colleagues', three of mine, your's is wrong..." "What kind of bone-marrow are we actually looking for?" "Is this a punishment from God?" " These things happen." "I'll go mad, Mrvica." "I'm falling to pieces." "My child is dying before my very eyes and" "I can't help her." "My wife is pregnant, she could have a miscarriage." "I didn't tell her about" "Vesna's disease." "Everything has hit me..." "I didn't burn people in Auschwitz." "We'll find somebody." "Is there anybody else in the family?" "Vida has a crazy father, somewhere in the wilderness." "Vida has a father?" "!" " Yes, he's some sort of recluse, he lives in some godforsaken place." "He's a forest-keeper, or whatever..." " How come I didn't know that?" " They haven't spoken for more than 20 years." "He left them Vida and her late mother, I mean." "Or they left him." "I don't know, it's complicated." " Get him, Boži?" "." "Now!" "How?" "I don't know where he is, he knows nothing of me, nor his grand-daughter..." "They haven't spoken in 20 years, not a word." " Your child is dying, Dušan." "You're drowning." "Grab that straw, you drowning man." "If he won't come of his own accord, force him to come here." "Anybody home?" "Anybody home?" "Anybody home!" "Who's there?" "Good day." "Stand where I can see you." "Are you Zdravko Nikodinovi?" ", the forest-keeper?" "Don't be afraid." "He's beautiful." "What's his name?" " Vuja." "And I'm Zdravko." "My name is Dušan Boži?" "..." "Your son-in-law..." "Ehm..." "Vidosava's husband..." "ex-husband." "What brings you here?" "An ill wind." "Unfortunately." "Is something wrong with Vidosava?" "There's something wrong with our daughter..." "Nine and Vida's..." "So I came to ask you..." "Wait." "You go as you came, and I'll ride my horse." "Wait for me beside the railroad." "There's a house there." "The only one." "You didn't lock up." " No." "That's a nice German shepherd dog." "It's not a German shepherd dog." "What breed is it, then?" " Wolf." "She's over there..." " I know." "Dad." "Don't worry." "It's going to be all right." "Who is this?" " This is your grandfather." "It's not good, Uncle Zdravko." "It's wrong." "What's wrong with it?" "I can't explain now, it's complicated." "Bone marrow is like blood, only a bit worse." "It might be suitable, and then it might not." "There is a cure for that child." " Yes, we'll find it." "But not the way you cure people, Doctor." "Let me do it." "She won't get well here." "Healthy people become ill here." "You don't cure a bird in a cage." "Everything is grey here - grey walls, grey people, grey skies." "Ill take the girl with me." "Dad, you can't do it like that." "She needs medication, therapy..." " Well, I don't practice sorcery." "No way..." " You, my boy, are supposed to be the smartest and the most reasonable." "Let me take the girl." "There's the forest, the air, the water, there..." "She won't be worse off than here, I guarantee you that." "I'll take her medication along, if it's necessary..." "Where I live - is heaven, only God is a bit far away." "Well, I think that it won't do her any harm..." "I mean, the air and nature..." " It's out of the question." "For Gods sake, he lives with wolves." "He keeps a wolf in his back yard." "But that wolf is alive and well." "Vidosava, your child's life is at stake." "Doctor?" " It's absolutely out of the question." "How much time does it take to notice a change for the better?" "Two months?" "Three?" " Something like that." "Let me take her for three months." "If it doesn't work," "I'll bring her back, and then you try to cure her..." "There is a cure for that child, you can't see death in her eyes, yet." "But not within these walls." "What do I know." " There's no "what do I know"." "The kid is not going." "End of story!" "Don't come to me when you realize your mistake." "What if she gets worse in that god-forsaken place?" "And what if she gets worse here?" " The Doctors are here." "She won't get worse." " Vidosava, come to your senses, the child can't be saved here, she's fading away before your very eyes." "What do you have to lose?" "Everything." "For Gods sake, people..." "Your child is dying." "And what if I came with you?" " No." "Just the child." "And why is that?" " Because." "Mrvica?" " There is something else that I didn't tell." "What?" " Her immune system is weakened now." "A cold, or flu - any virus could be fatal for her." "Another girl died of mumps, month ago." "There." "What did I tell you?" " You don't understand." "There is no such thing up there." "There are no viruses in the mountains." " What should I tell her?" "Let me take her." " You are all crazier that he is." "There is a Latin saying:" "Medicus curat, natura sanat." "A physician treats, but nature cures." "You're all crazy." "We are going away for the weekend." "She wants to say good bye to Uncle Mrvica." "Have a nice time." " Thank you, Doctor." "How much would you give this child?" "Two, three months?" " Something like that." "Does he receive bone-marrow transplants?" "He does." "You take care of my child... you got that?" "I don't know this man." "Well, you'll get to know him." "I'm afraid of him, mother." " But, that's my father," "Lela, and your grandfather." "You can't be afraid of your own grandfather." "You'll feel better with him than in the hospital." "Uncle Mrvica said the best and quickest way to treat your smog allergy, is in the mountains." " Hm!" "Dad and I will come and see you, I promise." "It's only for a month or two." " I won't go." "Well, we've already had this conversation." "And why didn't he ever come before, why?" "Because we didn't live together." "Your granny wanted me to live and go to school in the city." "He wanted to stay in the mountains." "And why didn't granny ever tell me about him, while she was alive, why?" " Because they didn't separate as friends, like me and your father did." "Is there a normal marriage in our family, or a normal person?" "What am I going to do up there with a crazy man?" " I've had enough of this." "I won't." "I swear, I won't." "What kind of a mother are you?" " You must, Lela." "We are not sending you there out of spire." "It's for your own good." "Do you think it's easy for me?" "I haven't seen him for 20 years." "He heard you were ill and he came to help." "I'll come up there to visit you, you will sit out those few months and that's the end of this discussion." "Here we are." "Vuja, Vuja." "You will keep your clothes here." "Are you tired?" "A bit." "You have a rest, and I'll prepare something for dinner." "Can I watch television?" " No." "Why?" "I don't have a TV set..." "And there's no electricity here." "And we won't need that, either." "I'll wash up, and you clean up the table." "Collect those bread crumbs and throw them at the door-step." "The birds will wake us up in the morning." "Put the bread in the cupboard and wrap it in the cloth..." "You'll meet Vuja and the rest of the family in the morning..." "It's bed time." "Come on, my little falcon." "Time to get up." "What's the time?" " It's dawn." "This is Belac, that's Belka, and this is Vuja." "Come here, don't be afraid..." "Come here..." "Come and stroke him, don't be afraid." "He won't do you any harm, it is our Vuja..." "Vuja..." "Go on..." "Please, don't..." "Don't be frightened, if you're good to them, they will be good to you." "They are not like people." "Come here..." "If I tell you that he won't hurt you, then he won't." "You have to believe me." "Come here, now..." "Just come here and stroke him." "This is our Vuja, our watchman." "You should get to know him better." "And those are the wild ducks, whose eggs you ate last night..." "Ill be right back..." "Ah, there you are, there you are..." "God in heaven must have sent you..." "Little falcon." "Listen here, little falcon." " I don't want you to call me "little falcon"." " I'll tell you the way things stand..." "Little falcon." "You've done this now, and never again." "Now, let's talk like grown-ups." "Your father and your mother gave you to me, because you're ill." "Your illness can't be cured in a city." " I know." "The smog allergy is..." " It is not called the smog allergy." "And what's it called, then?" " I'll tell you, little falcon." "You're a grown-up, you should know." "It's much worse!" "And the cure can only be found in these woods." "Am I going to die?" " No..." "Not here in the woods." "The floods come quite often here, and the rains;" "the snow melts in the mountain and the lake floods the area." "Then I sit in my boat, and go and save animals." "Then, you can see a wolf and a rabbit in the same boat, or a fox and a pheasant on the same tree trunk..." "Well, that's what we're going to do, together." "The only things in the world that I love, is the forest, I love animals a bit, but my greatest love are two people..." "Your mother and you..." "I have nobody else." "Your mother can't live without you." "Neither can I, without you and Vidosava..." "And that's why you have to get well." "And because of yourself." "Most of all..." "And that's why I want to ask you something." "What?" " I have made many mistakes in my life, and I owe a debt." "To your mother and to your late grandma." "I am asking for your help now, to return that debt." "I am returning it now, do your understand that, little falcon?" " Yes." "Do you understand?" " I understand." "Let's go home now, little falcon." "What's this?" " It's a trap." "Poachers put them in the woods." "The animal steps here and..." "Up for the living, down for the dead." "The dark wilderness." "Thank very much." "May God give you happiness and good health, my good people." "Little bears." "I have one of my own, but it's a teddy-bear." "Don't touch them any more." "If their mother smells a strange scent, she'll abandon them." "And in the morning, we'll go to the other side of the mountain." "We'll be away for the whole day." "Grandfather, I'm constantly hungry here." "Don't go there." "She's dangerous." "When she has young, she's very dangerous." "You see, this is food for the soul." "And this is for the stomach." "It's no use..." "Hallo..." "There's nobody there." "Please, try to send this, somehow." "And you, don't forget to take the oats and the flour." "It's under the eaves..." "Hallo, it's no use..." "Put it in the basket." "Poor thing." "A roe deer has hidden it in the grass." "Granddad, Granddad!" "They poisoned her, God damn them..." "Who, Granddad?" " The scoundrels, for her fur." "Is she going to die?" "It seems that we're late." "The poison is eating her gut." "Come on, take a stick, take it..." "Why are you beating her, when she's sick?" "No!" "Why are you beating her?" "She's ill." "She must walk and work off the poison," "Run, run." "Run!" " Run!" "Will she stay alive?" "If you do or don't do something, all the same you regret it." "If we hadn't let her go, we might have regretted it." "But now, I already regret letting her go." "And why did you break off all contact with him?" "Never mind..." "You know that we lived there in the beginning?" " You don't say." "The villagers beneath the mountain are cruel." "They called him Zdravko, who talks funny." " Why?" "Because he knows the animal language, he can talk to animals..." "And, even worse, - with herbs." "People didn't like us, at all;" "they wouldn't even send their children to my mother's class in the school." "They sent them to some other teacher, Stevan." "Why's that?" " Why?" "He caught them poaching and sent them to jail." "But you have to turn a blind eye sometimes, and he wouldn't do that." "Actually he didn't know how." "Then, momma wanted us to move to the city for me to grow up in the city, but he wouldn't hear of it." "We literally ran away." "Of course, he found us." "A lot of things happened, fights, tears..." "Naturally, I stayed with mother..." "And it all stopped." "Do you know that you look a bit like him." "After we left him, he became an outcast in the village." "Then he retired to this forest house in the mountain." "Mad Zdravko, Zdravko who talks funny, Zdravko the forest man..." "And if some of their cattle or children got sick - it was "Help, Zdravko!"." "So, he's cured people before?" " Yes, he has." "I wander if we did wrong, then..." "And..." "Then why don't we go and see them on Saturday..." "No, it's too early." "Zdravko says so, he doesn't want Vesna to get excited." "And Mrvica thinks so, too." "Stay away from the marten, she's a dangerous one..." "Come here..." "She's not here..." "Well, we'll see her eventually." "That means that she's alive, then!" " She is." "How come there are storks in the woods?" "All their nests used to be in the wilderness, and some still are." "Looks like the little storks are hungry." "Their parents don't have anything to give them to eat." "There hasn't been any rain for a long time." "The puddles have dried off and there are no more frogs and snakes..." "Vuja was in this state when I found him..." "Put it back in the cove, the wolves aren't far away." "Do you see that tall tree?" "That's the Pan?" "i?" "spruce." "It grows here and nowhere else in the world." "I couldn't live without this mountain." "Granddad, I like to sit here best." "Are you asleep, little falcon?" "Take it, take some..." "Granddad, I am going to name them all." "The smallest one is Ðura." "Then, Mica, Dika, and?" "eda." "What is the stork doing?" "What she has to." " Shoo, shoo..." "That's not their mother, that's some other stork." "It is their mother." "She decides who will survive the drout and the famine..." "Otherwise, all the little storks would die." "But, why little Ðura, why?" "We can't help it." "It is nature." "Granddad, let's pass by the stork's nest." "Look at the edge of the nest." "Ðura is still alive." "He's alive!" " Well, the old one didn't finish him off, after all." " Poor Ðura..." "Maybe she'll have pity on him now." "What sort of a mother is she?" "Doesn't she feel sorry for him?" "Go, Ðura." "Ðura knows there's not enough food for everyone." "At least his brothers and sisters should live." "But why Ðura?" "Can we feed him?" "We have fish." "No." "Only his parents can..." "Let's go." "Ah, that's what we have heard." "A roe deer." "They must have buried the gizzard somewhere here." "Granddad, look!" "Granddad!" "Look!" "Poor thing..." "Will it die?" " He who shoots a fawn, will shoot a man." " Will he stay alive?" "That's it..." "Come on..." "He'll live." "Let's go, little falcon..." "Come on..." "Easy." "Come and try some..." "Shall we go to see Ðura?" "We must help Ðura, he will die..." "Oh, look granddaddy!" "The mother has had pity on him, after all." " That's Ðura's father." "Fathers don't think ahead, like mothers do." "He feeds everyone until there's no food left." "Eat, Ðura, eat." "Well, there's fish in the lake." "Why don't they bring them fish?" "Storks can't swim..." "They can only hunt in shallow water - as deep as their legs allow them to..." "Let's go." "Oooh... the shit..." "I know who they are." "Granddad, does it hurt?" "There's Vuja's cousin." "Granddad..." "Oh..." " It's nothing..." "It'll heal." "Are those the roots I've been telling you about?" "Yes." " That will heal it..." "Oh, I didn't feed the family." " I'll do it..." "Take it, little falcon." "We're friends now, eh?" "Granddad, should I turn the light off?" "Is that the same remedy?" " It is..." "And, here's some for you." "My little hedgehog." "Well, I don't know man, it clearly says we shouldn't come yet." "I just don't know what to do..." "You think so?" "But, I miss my child..." "So, we're going to give them some more time, then?" "It's okay, granddad, I'll do it." "It's like brand new." "Vuja, guard our house." "The clouds are quite low." "The weather will change." "Let's go, little falcon." "Granddad... are you asleep?" "You're frightened, eh?" "No, she doesn't have nosebleeds." "She feels much better, believe me..." "She eats almost as much as I do." "She drinks goat's milk, she eats cheese, eggs, meat, wild game, mostly fish." "Yes, it's raining, yes." "It's been raining for three days now..." "Don't come here yet, believe me, it's not necessary..." "Hallo, hallo..." "Mitar, the line's gone." "Hallo, operator..." "Hallo, could you connect me to the same number in the city..." "Well, I don't know now..." "Well, I told you..." "You can't see where the sky begins." "Now the torrent will come down from the mountain." "Come on, little falcon, drink some more." "This young deer has lost its strength." "This is what I've been telling you about." "Do you remember?" "Here is our pretty girl..." "Look Granddad, look..." "It's not our fox, but we'll save her." "Foxes don't like water..." "Keep away from the fox." "You never know with her." "There's Vuja's family." "Now's their moment..." "They're confused." "They're not sure where it's better." "There's a roe deer!" "A roe deer!" "She's a fighter." "She'll swim out." "That's the law of natural selection." "Only the strongest survive..." "Many will find salvation here." "This is like Noah's Ark." "Will they stay here?" "When the water level drops, everyone will go their own way." "Look how they like each other." "Look, Granddad..." "Those poor turtles and hedgehogs." "Don't lean over!" "Wait until we get closer..." "Little falcon!" "It's all right, little falcon." "I wouldn't let go of you for anything in the world." "Did you take care of the turtles and the hedgehogs?" "I did, I did..." "This is enough for today." "We've been in this boat all day long." "Your parents are coming tomorrow, you're going to Belgrade." "Oh..." " For a control test." "Will I come back?" "Will I come back here?" "It seems that they've arrived." "Vesna!" " Lela!" " Mom, Dad!" "Is it possible?" "My God!" "I can't believe it, Lela." "Is it possible?" "It's been such a long time." "I'm better, Mom." "I don't know how to thank you!" "Never mind that!" " But, you've saved my child!" "Dad!" "I'll be thankful for the rest of my life." "My debt to you still stands." "Come on, sit at the table and refresh yourselves." "We've misjudged you." "Look at this." "Oh, Dad, watch it!" "You take the meat." "Have a snack and then I'll introduce you to the rest of the family." "But, we'd like to go while it's still light." "We have to take her for the check-up in the morning." "You're not going anywhere." "You'll sleep here and leave at dawn." " That's right." "I hope we won't be late." "This place is a paradise." "He recognized you..." "I'm afraid of that wolf." "My little..." "This is our car." "It neither needs fuel, nor repairs." "Oh, Vesna." "Try it like this." "It hasn't been boiled." "You're drinking unboiled milk." "Hmm, it's delicious!" "Oh, please, bring the goat, I want to try." "Well, bring her closer, I can't reach." "Well I don't know how, I just don't." "Oh, it's coming a bit." "You go on." "Wait, wait." "Belka feeds us all." "Well, I never." "That's it." "Let it rise now, for a while." "You know more than I do." "When we settle everything," "Granddad and I like to sit here most." "Let's go now." "You should set off at dawn." "Let's go." " All right." "Let me help you." " No, it's okay..." "I'll be back." "Granddaddy I..." "Thank you, from here to..." "You just call and tell me about the results, immediately." "And bring the child back." "Vidosava, don't joke about it." "The child can't survive in the city." "Don't worry, Dad." "Vuja, take care of Grandfather." "Look." "Noah." "Unbelievable." "Just like in Fellini's films." "This is unbelievable." "This is simply impossible!" "Look, Doctor..." "Not a trace of le..." "Incredible!" "Wait a minute, is that certain?" " Mrvica?" "It's positive..." "It was done twice, checked again..." "My Lord..." " Well, I really can't believe this." "My sweety, you're cured." " She's not cured, but the improvement is amazing." "Madam, can your father come to Belgrade?" "This is a very important matter, you know." " Did you take your medication?" "Yes." " Regularly?" " Regularly." "What else did your granddad treat you with?" "With nature." "They've accepted Ðura." "Well, I've been to school." "You can finish your yearly exams without having been to lessons." "It's time for retaking exams, anyway." "You have always been an" "A- student, so they'll let you pass." "The most important thing is not to fail a year." "You're not all that enthusiastic?" "When will I go to Granddad's?" "As soon as you pass the piano test." "You don't have to do the solfeggio." "I've been to music school, as well." "And you can stay with Granddad until the school year starts." "It's great, because you won't fail a year." "And, if you study hard, you will be in the fifth grade next year." "...so the winters are cold, with lots of snow, and the summers are very hot, with a large number of sunny days." " Sava, open the window, it's humid in here." "Go on." "Another specific feature of the climate in our lowlands is the wind called the košava..." " Good." "That's quite satisfactory." " Good." "You have the Serbian test and the music test tomorrow, and we're done." "Why the music test?" "The girl is going to music school, there's no need..." "Doctor..." "Call a Doctor, quick!" "What's happened?" " It just started, for no reason." "Lela..." "Lela...!" "It's a classical case of relapse." "She's overworked, she doesn't feel well in the city, especially in this humidity." "It's all my fault..." " She has to stay here." "We must finish the treatment." "Granddad!" "My little falcon." "Let's go." "Excuse me, where do you think you're going?" "Go away!" " Hey!" "Go away, I tell you!" "You can't leave without a discharge sheet..." "My Granddaddy..." " Ðura is still alive, you know." "Stop!" "Porter!" "Stop!" "Stop him!" "Where are you taking her?" "Stop!" " Out of my way!" "Mitar, go!" "Have something to eat..." "Come on, little falcon..." "I'm cold, Granddad." "Have another one." "Granddad, if I die, I want you to bury me here." "Oh, come, come now, what are you saying, little falcon?" "In two weeks, you'll be running with the animals again." "Granddad, I knew from the beginning that I had a serious disease - leukemia." "But I didn't want" "Mom and Dad to worry." "After all, they're separated." "I won't let you go, little falcon." "We are going to collect boney beside that old tree-stump tomorrow..." "And we'll go and see what Ðura is doing..." "Where did you put that medicine of yours, when you left?" "I'll be back in a second." "I've found it." "Take it, little falcon." "My wish has come true - to see Ðura again." "Ðura has grown up." "He's all right now." "He'll fly south with his own kind." "His wings won't take him southward." "There are some birds which never learn to fly." "He came with the wolf..." "We couldn't stop them..." "This is hers..." "And this..." "We know who is the illest in our room." "It was little" "Zoran, who's been gone for two days now." "They say they moved him to another hospital." "The nurses don't know what to do with the things he left behind." "I'm the illest now." "Everybody's trying to please me." "If they hadn't taken me back to the city, I would have been healthy for a long, long time." "I know that my illness can't be cured here." "That's what my Granddad says." "I'd love to see Granddad's mountain once more..." "To see if Ðura is still alive." "It looks as if Granddad has forgotten about me..." "You must bring her right now." "She can't be cured there now." "Mrvica, help." "Please..." "It's like they're celebrating something." "I won't be long." "Good day, good people." "Be happy in your work." "Don't, Zdravko." "Don't do it, I beg you." "You've already put me behind bars once." "I'll do it again, Živojin." "It's the cell pot for you." "Zdravko, don't, we're human beings, let's make a deal..." "I don't make deals with trash, my Živojin!" "Shall we?" "It's time." "What were you whispering?" "My God, the trouble with red tape when a man wants to be buried in the forest." "There's Ðura!" "What Ðura?" "Ðura, the stork." "His family moved south." "He couldn't fly with them." "He stayed here to die." "He'll freeze and starve." "Alone." "Maybe he won't." "He might even fly after his family." "He won't." "Some birds can't fly." "This film is based on true events." "Granddad!" " Come, my little falcon!" "The one who shoots a fawn, will shoot a man." "Will he stay alive?" "uredio drdamjan"
