"FILMCONTRACT LTD presents in co-production with" "a LECH MAJEWSKI film" "I don't know." "How long have I got to wait?" "Will it hit me, or not?" "The waiting's the worst..." "I've got to be pure." "My thoughts as well." "Sort my thoughts out..." "Maybe their calculations were right." "Because it's really a true story..." "And it started a long time ago." "Here in Janow." "Where three emperors had their borders, slicing Poland like a cake." "Not even a crumb was left on the map." "But the empires fell." "Because, like the Master said:" "Empires bloom, then wither into provinces." "The Master always talked like that." "Like some poet." "Because he was a Rosicrucian." "They all spent their working days under the ground." "St. Barbara watched over them." "And they took care of her." "It was only her they prayed to." "Me too I was young then, really young..." "And Barbara was a saint, because they locked her in a tower." "The Master's disciples were miners." "Seven of them." "After work they stretched their arms to the sun on the meadow." "Like the Master told them." "Light's more important than food, he said, it gives the most energy." "They stood charging themselves in the sun." "Kind of like batteries." "Once charged, they painted." "To exercise their eyes." "The Master said:" "The eye is the main thing..." "Light comes in your eye and you can catch the world and paint it." "So said the Master, who lived to be 300." "According to some." "Because nobody'd really seen his face." "He kept it covered with a beekeeper's veil." "Not like he kept hives, he just couldn't stand bugs crawling over him." "He lifted the veil once a year, to burn off his beard." "Hair, he said, is a holy thing." "So he didn't like scissors, either..." "His most faithful disciple was Teofil, who picked a clump of grass before painting and stuck it in his shirt." "Then Helmut Hes, solid as a German bank, who loved his belly." "Ewald Sojka's relationship with grass was different..." "He loved women and did press-ups to keep fit." "Eryk Paw believed the sun helped hair grow." "He took good care of his, but all that combing made it fall out." "Walter Goj kept himself to himself." "He wanted to be an alchemist and use carbide and dynamite to make gold." "Erwin Libera could never get enough light." "He said the best sun was on Hawaii." "Oswald Wrobel was the youngest." "He was a bit of a nutter... but the Master took him in." "Because nutters understand most." "Mrs. Olena gave me rolls." "They spent hours staring at her, but I was the only one she liked." "It was only me who sat on her lap..." "She called me her little bird." "But she fed other birds, too." "I always had a way with women." "Ewald..." "your eyes are popping out." "What d'you say?" "Hold your brush, I'm taking the ladder..." "My lass will hold my brush..." "You can't see the world for women's arses, lads." "You're all blind." "You see an arse - paint an arse." "You see a horse - paint a horse." "To see the other, real, metaphysical world, to get strength from it..." "You need to be clean... pure..." "The Master says there'll be three signs for people." "What signs?" "Quiet!" "The first sign - there'll be a Great War." "War?" "And a sea of bodies will rot in the mud." "Quiet!" "Listen!" "The second sign- a Red Plague will come and kill the souls." "Quiet!" " I don't understand..." " Wait." "And for the rest, as a warning, so they'll repent, there'll be a third sign..." " What?" " A third one?" "Quiet." "I can't hear..." "A Huge Mushroom will grow." "And a ray from Saturn will hit us!" "And the world will end!" " Shit!" " What'll we do?" "With these words, the Master died." "Nobody knew what he meant, but the signs weren't long in coming." "THE GREAT WAR" "The Master didn't want to be put in a coffin." "Because he wanted to rot quickly.., to feed the leaves." "He just wanted his things mummified, like a pharaoh." "He said a man was a fleeting moment in the life of things." "That's the first time I saw an angel..." "A live one..." "Though made of stone." "Everyone moaned and groaned..." "But I just laughed." "Because I didn't have to go to school." "How daft can you get?" "Dad died in the war from a stray bullet." "Mum from a broken heart..." "A Guardian Angel watched over me." "A couple of them, in fact." "They stayed with me every day." "But everywhere panted the dogs of war..." "Maid, pour some more water." "Here, my sweet..." "Gentlemen, listen!" "The world needs sorting out!" "It's rotting!" "It can't go on!" "I know how to do it!" "People should listen to me!" "Them that are against me, they'll rot in the mud!" "Maid, bring me a towel." "Right, dear." "Rolf!" "Lie down!" "I'll make ordnung, whatever it takes!" "We've got to get everything in order and clean the world up." "The group met secretly in the old cold store." "Now Teofil was the Master." "Boys, I'll draw a figure 8 to show you where our life is." " What life?" " Ours." "Life starts here, before birth..." "Here's our whole life..." "And here's the afterlife." "Lads, an Arab philosopher Avicenna talked of ten senses... five internal, and five external." "Because we've got spiritual powers in our spine." "Let us show you..." "Here is the spine, see..." "Pure spiritual experience can reach the brain." "And force the matter into submission." "He described various miracles and even demonstrated them..." "Some said he'd learned from the Master's books." "Others, that he had his own powers." "Teofil was weird." "He kept his window open, to be in touch with the cosmos." "He felt best in winter, because... people think more deeply then... with a cool head." "He said the head needs cold to work right." "He even kept his books in the fridge." "Books about the Earth on the bottom shelf, the Heavens on the top." "He read them upside down, so more blood flowed to his head." "But Eryk said a good gun was more important than books." "He loved polishing his pistol and black high-heeled boots." "Oswald's Grandmother polished the figure of Christ every day for the same reason - to protect against the worst." "The war scared Oswald most." "He said Providence had left us." "THE FIGHT AGAINST EVIL" "The war would never have ended if it hadn't been for Teofil." "He kept painting St. George fighting the dragon until George won, and folk could dance." "Time Flies By At Home After A Shift" "For Walter and some bloke from Japan" "World War Two never ended." "Walter lived in a dug-out and wore a tank driver's coat, and left traps in case someone tried to get him." "And if anyone spoke to him, he covered his ears and didn't want to hear, that there was communism now." "Nice work, man." "I'll give you nice work." "Get me out, you prick!" "I'm all scratched, look..." " You got the dynamite?" " Yeah, I got it." "Nice." "Did the bugger want much for it?" "Just what all blokes want, except you..." "I want it too, dove, so much I'm bursting." "Not now, though, dove." "I have to be pure for this test." " I can't touch women, man." " No other women, just me." "And don't call me man!" "Honey, I promise, if this works... we won't get out of bed for a week." "Mr. Ewald liked to dress up nice, especially after he'd shagged his wife." "And she was a woman of body, and dreams..." "But Mr. Erwin once told Mr. Ewald about Hawaii..." " You know how great Hawaii is?" " No..." " The woman run about naked." " Naked?" "Yes, butt-naked." "And Mr. Ewald started dreaming, too." "He imagined a naked Queen of The Night..." "Or that he was having soup with three beautiful women." "Then, when he got home from the mine, he brewed some tea and painted it." "You know, Oswald, I'd fuck this whole world." "Why?" "Because I've got such energy..." "THE RED PLAGUE" "Mr. Stalin had the same plans as Mr. Eryk, but his worked out." "Our... useless critics... say that I want to destroy the Human Soul." "But that's not true, comrades..." "Not true, because..." "Get off me!" "You can't destroy something that doesn't exist!" "Right enough." "Applause!" "Off with you!" "Carry on!" "We, comrades, won't bother with any souls." "Because, comrade delegates, there are no souls." "Yes!" "Exactly!" "Long live Comrade Stalin!" "Hooray!" "There is no soul, and there never was!" "Hooray!" "Don't worry, it'll be fine." "It became clear that the second sign had been fulfilled." "The main thing here is Saturn." "I'll draw it for you." "What's that?" "It's Saturn." "What's this circle?" "Nobody lives on Saturn." "It's an arms factory." "And the rings are made of smoke from its underground chimneys." "And the great cannon... is aimed at the Earth!" "And can smash it to dust!" "It's written in the grand book:" "Saturn and its Rings by Atilla Wolf." "A description of the planet with its rings." " Terrible..." " It's the end." "Wela Hubert, Kozielczyk Eugenia," "Wolf Jan, Greta Erwin," "Kopytelski Tadeusz." "They're all doing alright." "How come?" "They've all just died." "Here's the obituaries." "From these thoughts of death," "Mr. Helmut's hair fell off his head onto his back." "Gretka was his daughter." "Although she was two months older than me, I liked her." "Mr. Helmut bred pigeons." "He said only they'd save us from extinction... and bring good news if there was any." "Oh, Gretka..." " Did you pray long?" " Yes." " What for?" " For everything." "Cleanliness was prized on the estate." "Because when the miners came out the pit they'd had enough dirt." "Every month they'd do a grand washing." "Then have a bath in the suds..." "The Hanzliks and Rychliks on the top..." "Mr. Ewald and his wife the floor below..." "The Hesses and Paws on the ground floor." "Now for the kids." "Helmut!" " Give them a shout." " Gretka!" "Gretka!" "Come on." "Come on." "You'll be pure as the driven snow." "Daddy, you said a clean soul's more important." "The body, too." "Everything should be clean to please God." "What're you on about, man?" "Cleaning's cleaning." "Wash yourself, Gretka." "And where's Adek?" " He went off with his mates." " Little bugger." "Oh, no..." "This ain't human." "Like animals..." "Those Sojkas are at it again." "They've got no shame." "In broad daylight..." " Enough, Ewald." "Stop it." " Honey, let me finish." "Are you crazy?" "I've gotta check the cards..." "Mrs. Ewald set out the cards." "The cards had a scientific answer for every occasion." "Why are the men going bonkers?" "Yes, it's Venus' fault, the men are going mad." " My darling..." " Can't fight the stars." "Come on, honey, please..." "I'm burning..." "My darling treasure..." "Come, my Venus." "I can't hold it in..." "Leave me alone, I'm tired from doing the laundry." "Let me shag you out a little more." "Bloody hell!" "Bloody hell!" " Eat up." " I can't eat any more." "Eat, you'll be as big as Dad on high heels." "Can't I have it later?" "Don't argue." "It's no good cold." "No good?" "How can it be worse than it is already?" " Be quiet." " I'm not eating." "Eat that soup, or I'll shoot you." " Are you mad?" " Do your washing!" " Put that down!" " I said, do your washing." "This is men's business." "Eat that soup." "All of it." "I order you as your father." "Oswald cared about cleanliness, too, but from the inside..." "Gran..." "Do you want an enema?" "I've given everyone else one." "Mrs. Hes, Mrs. Paw and Mrs. Tekla." "You should give your girlfriend one, and leave me alone." " But it's healthy..." " I'm already healthy enough." "Feed selection vessel" "Comrade Obkowa gets to know all her cows..." "Before milking, she carefully washes the cow with warm water, dries it with a clean towel, then massages it." "Massages it..."

" Who's here?" " The Minister." "Exhibition Of Works By The Wieczorek Mine's Amateur Artists" "Saturn..." "Hell..." "So, this is a result of working-class consciousness?" "Comrade Minister, these are... sort of, Silesian folk tales - nymphs..." "leprechauns..." "Folk tales?" "You know, painters are folk who make hanging around with naked women into an art form." "And even the wives don't complain." "And what do you paint, comrade?" "There are no winged dwarfs..." "No, maybe there's not, so what's the little bearded thing in the red hat that runs about my floor?" "But that's fairy tales..." "That's not fairy tales, man, it's true!" "These paintings are for people, so they live like God tells us!" "Otherwise Saturn's evil power will destroy the world!" "God, you say?" "Do you know when a pigeon craps on an eagle?" "No?"

"Listen... this is more than enough to have you up against a wall." "Trying to blow up the Party Committee!" "Shoot me, bastard?" "You wouldn't know a gun from a pitchfork!" "A good miner... a family man." "Then this business..." "Not good..." "It's not good at all..." "But... we can still sort things out..." "It's the truth." "We wanted to save the world." "It's not my fault the ray was aimed at the Committee." "Comrade Hes..." "such a good communist shouldn't be talking nonsense..." "Should he?" " It was all my fault!" " What was?" "Sit down and answer the questions." "And cut the crap." "Fine, lock me up, kill me!" "We need a sacrifice!" "I said sit on your ass!" "Don't cry, son." "Confess and we'll let you go home."

"On the roof, near the front." "Now we're doomed..." "It didn't strike after all." "This young man wanted to die to save the Party Committee?" "To save the whole world!" "Get the hell out or I'll lock you in the asylum." "I like that woman of Ewald's." "She was a fine lady when she was young." " She's still quite elegant." " Not bad at all." "Try your luck."

"We were in Kolobrzeg, at the Sanatorium." "Beautiful place." "The food was great, we went dancing..." "Your beers are ready." "Thank you." "Why are you dipping your fingers in your beer?"
