"One stormy winter night, the cross on the spire of the church was hit by lightning, but they decided not to replace it with a new one until they had moved the church to the village." "They dragged the church across hills and through forests, advancing very slowly." "They only advanced a meter at a time." "When it was raining, they couldn't move the church at all." "They wanted to reach the river when the winter set in, so they would be able to drag it across the ice when the river froze." "Yeah..." "Then the waiting began..." "What is this?" "Why don't you try it on?" "Come on..." "Do you like it?" "Why?" "Come on..." "Sit down over here." "Sit down." "Ina..." "I wanna marry you." "No..." "I don't love you..." "You do."

"Your dad loves you." "Your dad loves you." "Ina!" "Ina!" "After one starry, ice-cold winter's night, the church was frozen on the river." "There was nothing they could do, but wait until spring." "When the sun finally shone again and the ice began to melt, everything was ready for them to drag the church, across to the other bank." "But that year so much water came down from the mountains, more than even the oldest in the village had ever seen before." "The river burst its banks, got wild, and dragged the church away." "Nobody could stop it." "This is" "Romania;" "This is the Cris, which flows into the Tisa," "and the Tisa flows into the Danube." "Years and years went by, and everything was forgotten." "One day a stranger turned up in the village and said he'd seen a floating church on the river." "Since then the church started to turns up in the evenings, across the whole of the Danube." "What talking?" "Someone called it..." " About that church..." " The Ghost Church." "Are you going over?" "Yes..." "Who inside?" "Milan!" "Little motherfucker!" "Again?" "What is this?" " What is he doing?" " I don't know."
