"First feature film" "RUSTLING LANDSCAPES" "You want something to drink?" "Katarina, do you want some juice?" "Here, take mine." "We just going to stand here in silence?" "I called you four times from the post office." "There wasn't any point in leaving a message on the machine." "OK, silence it is, then." "Am I an idiot or what?" "What did you expect me to say?" "Did that sensible head of yours have it all worked out that I'm not yet responsible enough?" "Just like they taught you at home." "You've been telling me for years that I don't know what" "I'm going to do with my life." "That you need stability and God knows what else." "Katarina, I think it's great." "I'm going to have a kid." "Brilliant." "We're both old enough." "When, if not now?" "I only said these things have to happen naturally and I'm glad they have." " What do you want?" "An answer's what I want." "A baby?" " I mean, no I don't..." "Let's stop pretending." "Yes, I do want one." "It's a whole process, something you have to prepare for, but..." "It's time." "Isn't it?" "Don't you want one?" "Do you want to have a kid with me?" "Tell me." "Do you?" "Or do you want us to split up?" "Let's clear this up." "I'm asking you real questions here." " Why did you leave when I told you we were going to have a baby?" "Because what you did wasn't right and you know you fucked it all up." " Why did you leave?" " Here we go again." "You obviously think I'm an idiot." "I couldn't tell you straightaway." "How's that, Katarina?" "Who would you tell if not me?" "Your best friend, your mum and dad?" "It was probably:" ""Hey, I still haven't told Luka because I don't know how to tell him"." "Obviously I'm the last to know." "How come?" " You don't understand anything." "Just don't tell me I don't understand." "How do you imagine the three of us will live if you treat me like a baby?" "Like someone who can't accept basic responsibility?" "Fuck, Katarina, we've been living together for 7 years and you still don't know me." "Thanks a lot." "We have to talk about real things here." "I can't live with the picture you have of me, not for one second." "You said you didn't want a baby." "Look, when you told me you wanted to start a family and have a baby..." " You told me you didn't want a baby." "Can you please listen?" "You said you didn't want a baby." "I said I didn't want to plan it." "No." "You said you didn't want a baby." "I said these things had to happen naturally..." "I don't know, maybe I did say I didn't want a baby." "You said you didn't want one now, then you left." "No, I fucked up because I was confused." "But let's get one thing clear." "I don't know when you found out." "You just sprung it on me that you were pregnant." "You didn't tell me for two weeks." "What did you think" "I would say?" "Have an abortion?" "Don't give me this shit!" "Of course we'll have the baby." "It's really great." "I just feel like I'm not part of it." "Or maybe the baby isn't mine..." "You said you didn't want a baby." "Fuck you!" " Katarina..." "Leave me alone." "Katarina, do you have problems?" "Do you need help?" "Just go on staring." "Fuck that." "Hey, I can accept certain things." "I think it's great we're going to have a kid." "Can you open the door?" "...Please?" "There's not going to be any baby." "Morning." "Leave it." "I thought I was a father and now I'm not." "I don't know what you were thinking." "You said you didn't want a baby." "My precise words aren't important." "So you do remember?" "Yes." "I didn't say I didn't want a baby, but..." " You said you didn't want a baby..." "You remember that, don't you?" "No." " You said before that you remembered." "Do you remember or don't you?" " I said it wasn't right that you kept it from me for two weeks." "You said it wasn't the right time." "Then you left." "I just said I didn't want it like that." "It doesn't matter now." " Yeah." "And all because we didn't know how to talk to each other." "It's great here, isn't it?" "A 100 kilometres from home..." "Was it good being on your own?" "Yes, I had myself to talk to about things I couldn't talk about with you." " I thought if I came..." " That what?" "That you'd like what I had to say." " Leave it out," "Katarina." "Please." "I don't like what you've told me." "It's just there's nothing else to do." "Now we're here." "It doesn't matter now." "Yeah, it doesn't matter now." "Yes..." "Hi, what's up?" "No, I'm fine..." "In Bela Krajina..." "Midnight..." "Alone, yeah..." "Come on, Veronika, please..." "There won't be any complications, the bleeding's stopped." "I've already told you..." "What will I tell him?" "I've already..." "He's here..." "The whole time..." "He said he wanted a baby..." "Yes, I know what he told me..." "Stop it, Veronika, we have to sort this out ourselves." "No, no problem." "I'll call you tomorrow..." "You too..." "Bye." "You have to pay this." "So they don't cut us off like the last time, huh?" "Hey, Katarina, I was thinking..." "Did you do any cooking here or did you eat out?" "There's no dirty dishes." "Another thing." "I'd like to take some pictures tomorrow morning." "About 30 kilometres away." "Can you give me a lift or do I have to go by bike?" "Where?" "I'm feeling better..." "Just resting." "I'm having a lie down..." "No, he's fine." "We're going to stay here for a bit..." "I don't know how long." "Don't tell mum I was in hospital." "Tell her we've gone to the cottage." "Veronika, don't say anything..." "When are mum and dad getting back from Scotland?" "We're not going anywhere." "I don't feel like leaving the house." "I'll call you tomorrow." "Bye." " Good morning." " Morning." "That's not allowed." " Why not?" " Army facility." "He's only taking pictures of the viaduct." "I know, but you can't take any pictures round here." "Can you tell him to stop?" "Can't you tell him?" "He won't believe me." "What's his name?" " Luka." "Why is he taking pictures?" "Have you got any tanks in there?" "Yeah, it's full of them." "Excuse me, have you got a bathroom in there as well?" "Sorry?" " Bathroom." "I really need to..." "Yeah, I get it." "We go to the toilet, he gets to take his pictures in peace." " No." "I really do..." "OK, I'll fall for it." "Just so you know I know." "Hi." " Hello there." " Have you got everything?" "Everything." " The batteries too?" "The batteries too." " Great." "Hello." "That's not allowed." "Oh, hi..." "What are you doing here?" " What are you?" "Nothing really." "I popped out for an ice cream." "You like ice cream?" " Uh huh..." "I have to wear these boots the whole day." "My feet are killing me it's so hot." "Any excuse to give them a bit of air." "Giving them a bit of a rest?" " It's tough wearing the same shoes every day." "I tie them up in front of the gate." "As soon as I leave, I untie them." "Is that a philosophy of yours?" "Just tying one takes half an hour." "Do you want to go for a coffee?" " I can't..." "I have to be somewhere..." "A quick one, OK?" "15 minutes." "15 minutes?" "I've only got 10." "Follow me." "We've been here half an hour." "I can be a bit late as well." " Won't your boss be angry?" "What boss?" " Who's above you?" "Above me?" "I don't sleep on a bunk bed, you know." "I don't mean that." "Don't you have a general or something?" "If that's not secret information..." "And who's above you?" "I also have military secrets." " Yeah?" "You saw him." "It was me and him that were..." ""endangering national security"." "You didn't act like a couple to me." " I'll ignore that." "What do you do?" " I'm in publishing." "Really?" "Do you need a messenger boy?" "I've got the uniform." " Come on..." "They'd slam the door in your face." " No, they'd give me respect." "I'd rather put you in a postman's uniform." "Actually, I wanted to be a forester but it's too dangerous." " The army's less dangerous?" "It's completely safe." " You can't have that many enemies here in Bela Krajina." "You'd be surprised how many..." " Who, for example?" "You might meet one in front of the base or at the petrol station." "An "enemyette"." " Yeah, yeah..." "What publisher's do you work for?" "Did you do something bad to get a posting here?" "No, when I finished my military service, they offered me the chance to stay on." "It was good there was somebody giving me orders, because I had no idea." "I've been here 5 years." "Basically, I'd like to leave, do a bit of studying, but I haven't had the chance." "And now I'm an old man." " You are indeed." "I don't like being tied down to one place." "Just like you came here but you don't know why..." "I know why I came." " Oh, right." "Sorry." "You studied Slovene, right?" " Yes..." " I knew it." "I saw you reading." " When?" " At the petrol station you were looking at the book reviews." "I thought an alien had landed here in Bela Krajina..." "I don't like this, it's stupid." " What?" "That you were looking at me..." "That I came for a coffee with you..." "Calm down." "Put a bit less sugar in your coffee and drink it a little more slowly, that's all." "I think you know what I mean." " I never know..." "I have no idea where we are." " Well, you brought me here." "Yeah, but now I'm lost." "It seems completely different in here today." "Like they've whitewashed the place." "Have you ever wanted to take a ride on a freight train?" "Never." " I love those guys in the westerns, jumping off the train and grabbing the first woman and riding off into the sunset." "Wouldn't that be great?" "Come on, stop looking at your watch." " I'm getting nervous because you're going to be late and I have to go." "I know how to look after myself." "And you can just say you were detained by the government." "The government?" " Well, the army." "What do I say?" " That there was a whole battalion, they wouldn't let you pass and you had to drink a whole convoy of coffee." "Hey!" "There you go." " Great." "Thanks..." "What is it?" " Doesn't matter." "What's the matter?" " Nothing." "I'll go myself." "What's the problem now?" " They're not the right ones." "Didn't you say...?" " No." "I'll go and get them myself." "Shall I go and change them for you?" " No need." "You said you needed them straightaway." "Yeah, because I was thinking of taking some pictures, but now I won't." "I met that army guy who said you weren't allowed to take pictures." "Are you listening?" "What?" " Nothing." "Forget it." "What were you going to say?" " I can't be bothered." "Katarina, have we really got nothing sensible to say?" "To tell you the truth, I really can't be bothered." "Me neither." "To tell you the truth." "Isn't that what I just said?" "Where are you going?" " To get some batteries." "Can you stop by the chemist's?" "I forgot to buy contact lens solution." "Contact lens solution..." "I'll get some, but I don't have any money." "Shall I write it down or can you remember?" " Contact lens solution?" "What's contact lens solution?" " Bye bye." "Can you draw me a diagram?" " You still here?" "When will you be back?" " Never." " Here we go again." "He's offended." " Only when you offend me." "When you've got something to say, I'll listen." "If not, I'll shut up and leave." "Ask yourself what you really want." "I want it to be like it was before." "Which one?" "Opti something." " Opti what?" "Free?" "Clear?" " We've only got this one." "What kind's that?" " 360 ml..." "Good afternoon." " Good afternoon." "A smaller size maybe?" "Have you got any vitamins for kids?" "Sorry..." "Only large and medium." " Vitamins?" "I'm serving this gentleman." " Expensive?" "I've got the engine running..." " Almost twice the price." "I'd like some paracetamol." "And some tanning pills." "I'll be quick." " Yes." " And some proteins." "That stuff for muscles." " Which ones?" "The strongest." " How much do you weigh?" "What's she asking?" "OK, and some paracetamol." "Paracetamol?" "I've got the engine running..." "You could turn the engine off you know." "How much?" " Five three hundred." "5,300." "You're 300 short." " Hang on..." "I had some..." "No, I haven't." "Fantastic." "What now?" "Could I bring the money tomorrow?" "All this fuss for 300 tolars." " I'll get it." "No, no." "First I push in, then you end up paying for me." "No way." " No problem." "Really?" " Really." "Thanks." "That's settled then." "Paper bag, please." "My engine's running..." "See you." " Goodbye." "Almost forgot." "How far is it to the campsite?" "Which one?" " I'll find it." "Thanks." "Bye." "Three one hundred." " 300?" " No, 3,100." "3,100?" "2,500, 2,900..." "Hang on a sec." "Sir, you don't have a card?" " Why?" "Well, you don't look like you have." "What's that supposed to mean?" "How much are you short?" "What do you mean I look like I don't have a card?" "Just give me some aspirin." "I'm sorry, I can't do it." "Of course not, what was I thinking?" "Sir..." "You forgot your camera." "Messenger boy?" "What messenger boy?" "Oh, it's you..." "How did you get my number?" "You phoned the publisher's?" "What did you say?" "That you wanted to publish a manual?" "On wooden rifles?" "You're mad." "And they gave you my number..." "Go somewhere?" "No, I can't." "Come on, stop it." "This is silly." "Another time?" "No, I really can't." "See you." "Bye." "Would you like something?" "Would you like something to eat?" "No, thanks." "Can you hear me?" " What?" "Shall I get you something to eat?" " No, thanks." "I'm hungry too." " I don't need anything." "You think you have to wait on me or something?" "What is it with you?" "I only asked because" "I'm going to make myself something." "I haven't got a clue what you're on about." "I saw you were hungry." " Yeah, right." "It's because you want to talk." "Talk talk talk the whole time." "I was being nice and you just had to say straightaway that I wanted to wait on you." "That's right, just keep looking." "Don't stand in front of the open fridge, you'll ice it all up." " Yes, mummy." "Where are you going now?" "Are you aware of what you just said?" "What are you yelling for?" " Go fuck yourself." "What's up with you?" " You bastard." " Thank you..." "You could stop smoking." "The whole house stinks." "You can't go half an hour without a smoke." "Why do I have to listen to this so much lately?" "Who's forcing you to listen?" " Whenever we see each other, you immediately start pressuring me." "I just asked you if you wanted something to eat." "I offered to cook and you complain." " You can't ask someone: "Are you hungry?" "You want something to eat?"" "I didn't ask it like that." "I simply asked whether you'd already eaten." " You know how you asked me?" "I could see you were trying to stay calm." "Sorry for my tone of voice." "Sorry I never said:" ""Oh, darling, can I get you a little something?"" "God, you're sensitive." " You only want to cook to make yourself feel better, nothing else." "I feel great, cooking or no cooking." "I don't need this." "You don't, as I keep telling you." "Then why are you moping around and looking in my fridge for the hundredth time?" "Looking in your fridge?" " Yeah, my fridge." "Your fridge?" " Yes." "You filled it up, did you?" " Yes." "What's mine to use, then?" "The table?" "A chair?" "Is it alright if I sit down or walk on the floor?" "This conversation is completely childish." "I'm not a five-year-old so I'm not going to argue whose table or whose fridge it is, got it?" "Just stop giving me shit." "Please." "Don't talk to me like that in this house." "And no more "Yes, mummy"." "Is that clear?" "What?" " OK, I'll repeat it." "You won't ever say "Yes, mummy" to me again." "Ever." "Katarina, how do you think you can live with me if you're so patronising?" " Come on, spit it all out." "Stop provoking me." "Don't tell me to "spit it out"?" "You've finally woken up!" "Go on, tell me what's bothering you, throw it all up." "Don't look at me like I've just come from outer space." "Can't you see I'm just doing this for us?" "What are you doing for us?" " Creating a healthy situation where we can talk normally." "What about you?" "You just want me to start shouting at you and let everything out." "I'm not going to, period." "I just want you to talk normally." "Like a man, not like some fucking little kid." "I'm totally ready to talk, but you're not." "You're like some stupid fat old hag about to slaughter me with an axe." "I'm almost too scared to go to bed." "What do you want us to become?" "Two old fuck-ups who'll kill each other after 30 years of marriage?" "Can you sit down?" " No." "Would you prefer us to stand?" "I'm not a child you can yell at now, see?" "Is that what you want?" "Would you like me to tell you how stupid you are and that you're a fucked-up old hag?" "Do it, if you dare." "So I can see what a real man you are." "You want a real man?" "Go down the pub and find one." "Do you want me to get a little baseball cap and a beer and stretch out in front of the TV?" "Is that it?" "That's what you're forcing me to be." "Is that what you think a real man is?" "No, that's what you think." "For me that's not a person at all, that's an insect, a fat grub." " Just like I'm a fat old hag?" "Yes, you've been behaving like that lately." "Close the fridge and stop smoking near the food!" "Feel better now?" "Listen." "I don't ever want to be this person you've just seen." "And if staying with you means I have to become that person, fuck it." "In that case" "I'll pack up and leave." "That's my only option." "If that's how it is, leave." " Would you like that?" "You said yourself that's your only option." "So you want me to fuck off out of your sight?" "I never said that." "You fucked off when I needed you the most." "Go on, leave again." "Go back to Ljubljana if that's what you want." "You can never face up to problems because you're a coward." "I'll face up to my problems." "Yes, by going." "You don't know any other way." "I wonder how we ever got together." "You're really ugly to me now." "Know what?" "I feel ugly right now." "Finally we agree on something." " Yeah, you've been freaking out so much lately you can't imagine." "I'm really glad I have." "I'm fucking sick of constantly waiting on you." ""What do you want to eat, darling?" "You want me to wash your feet?" "Any dirty clothes?" "Ironing?"" "You're a spoilt brat without the first clue about life!" "Nice show." "Carry on." "Great, really." "You're so clever." " Boring!" "So wonderfully cynical, I love you more each day." "Yeah?" " Yeah, your face." "Just looking at you makes me throw up." "Please don't treat me like that." "I'm the one who has to work." "Do you get any money for those fucking photos?" "You finished?" " Nope, there's a million things I'd like to say to you." "Shut up!" "I've had it up to here!" "No, I'm not going to hit you." "I won't go that far." "Go on, hit me!" "At least I'll see what a man you are!" "You're not." "You're just a little fucking brat." "Don't throw my chairs around." "You're sick." "Up here." " You forgot your cigarettes." "Can't survive without those." " Sick!" "Want some more money for ice cream perhaps?" "Hi..." "Are you asleep, Veronika?" "Sorry." "Hey, I'm coming back to Ljubljana tomorrow." "Will you be at home?" "Can I come to yours?" "No, nothing." "I'll tell you everything tomorrow." "Goodnight." "It's you again." "Where?" "No, I already told you I can't." "Because of the photographer as well, yes." "You're a real joker..." "...A persistent joker, yes." "OK, I'll fall for it." "Just so you know I know." "It's locked." " But it's always unlocked." "Obviously not." "Does anyone live round here?" "Should be a sign: "Keys kept at no. 666"." "Only thing is, it's right down in the village." "Shall I go?" "No." "Maybe we can see something anyway." "Watch out!" " What?" " Spider." " Give me a break." "See anything?" " No, it's dark." "Your eyes have got to get used to the dark." "Nothing." " Look closely, there's someone inside." "Yeah, yeah." "Jesus." " Let me have a look." "Look again." "Can you see that candlestick at the end?" "No." "What's that white thing?" " Plastic flowers." "I can't see anything else." "Do they do weddings in there?" "You know the name of this church?" " No." "St Katarina's." " Come off it." " It is, from today on." "You know any anecdotes about St Katarina?" " No." "St Katarina decided to take a look at a church." "She walked for two hours..." "...And the church was locked?" "See, you know it." " Great anecdote." " Sandwich?" "What's in it?" " Ham, cheese, red pepper." "What's up?" "Don't like red pepper." "You're in luck, I didn't have enough for both." "Do you do a lot of walking in the mountains?" "Not for ages." "I used to at school." "You had mountain races to collect points?" "No, I used to go walking with my sister." "I have no idea how those guys can sleep on mountainsides." " Who?" " Climbers." "They put up bivouacs on slopes like that and go to sleep." " Yeah, they're crazy." "You weren't like that?" " No, we'd get to the first hut, get drunk then go to bed." "Nice little walk in the mountains, huh?" "How long have you two been together?" "In years?" " Yeah." " Seven." "That's half of fifteen..." "Almost." "Let's go and ring the bell." "Wishes?" " Yes." " How many?" " As many as you like." "You go first." " Hang on, do I make a wish before or after?" "In the middle." " I wish that..." "I'm not supposed to say." "Here, you have a go." " That's quite..." "Don't help me or my wish won't come true." "I'll do it softly, then you give it a good pull." " OK." "Shhh!" "You'll wake him up." " Who?" "Quasimodo." "He lives up there." "He'll come round the corner with the key." "That wouldn't be a bad thing." " Nah, he'll just be a bit annoyed while watering the plastic flowers." "I know you brought me here because you knew the church would be locked." " Then it would have been better if we'd been locked inside." "I'm not that calculating." "You don't know me very well." "Now it's your turn to tell me a fairytale." " One about the hunchback?" " Yeah." "He kidnapped a woman, locked her inside and swallowed the key." " Why?" " He liked her..." " A ha..." "He locked her in the belltower but she climbed down the rope." "This set the bell off and woke him up." "Wow!" " What?" "Veronika!" "No, I'm still here..." "I don't fell like explaining." "We're having a great time." "We don't feel like coming back to Ljubljana." "We're going for walks." "Of course I'm not swimming yet." "Have you heard from mum?" "Spending money on clothes again?" "What?" "Hey, Luka, Veronika says hi." "He says hi back." "I will." "You too." "Bye." "I thought you'd like it." "I didn't get you anything..." " I didn't do it because of that." "I wanted to give you something." "Do I have to open it now?" " Yes, right now." " Right now?" "Fantastic." "For the tent?" "I wasn't thinking of that." "It was my grandfather's." "The deaf one." "Let me see if it works." "Thanks." "Really original." "Finally." "Does every couple have to go through this?" "You know why I invited you to dinner?" "It's not important really." "I'm going to tell you anyway." "I wanted to see if we could still have a good time together." "Was it hard for you?" " What?" " To hear that?" "No, it's fine." " You seemed to be resisting it." " What?" "Me telling you." "What did you think I was going to say?" "I thought you were going to explain how you felt forced to make dinner." " One of our typical misunderstandings." "You think about what I'm thinking and then I don't tell you..." "Nothing forced me." "I only wanted to define..." " Define what?" "Why the dinner, why we're sitting here." "What will happen tomorrow... - lf we're going to "define" things, then we're just going to sit here." "If we tell each other why we're here, we won't have anything else to say." "Let's say it anyway." " I don't want to." "You see, I'm interested in the things you like and those you don't." "They are all part of you." "Why everything suddenly?" "Since when have you been interested in what I think?" "You want to know who I am?" "I'm a very simple person." "I'm someone who has his own unique perception of things." "And I'm prepared to share it with someone who has a similar perception." "You know what I'm saying?" "Do you?" "Where did you get the kitten?" "Isn't it beautiful?" "I don't know if I can still love you." "MESSENGER BOY" "OK, make me one." "It's nice here." "We had a lampshade like this when I was a kid." " What?" "What brings you here in the middle of the night?" "I'm just in a bad mood." "Give me a few minutes." "Sorry." "I'm having a bad day." "A bad week." "The whole month's been awful." " I'm having a really nice week." "I can't say that." " No?" " It's so complicated..." "Don't be so serious, it doesn't suit you." "What do you want me to do?" " Tell me a joke, a fairytale, so I don't sit here and annoy you." "You have to put tokens in for me to start talking." "But I could tell you a fairytale about two halves of an orange." " Tell me what to do with you." "With me?" "You think I know?" "Yeah, I was hoping you knew." " I think you know." "You just don't know what to do with someone else." "Or yourself..." "You have to know that first." "And what are you supposed to do with me?" "There you go." " Thanks." " Mind the pips." "Have you ever had a long relationship?" "Yes." " Really?" "How long were you together?" "Two years." "Not long enough?" " No, it's not." "That's 24 months." " That's nothing." "That's why you can't understand why two people are still together after 7 years." "I'll never understand that." "Two people don't understand each other, they stay together 5 years and all of a sudden it's 45 and there's a whole crowd of kids..." "Sometimes..." "I can't explain it just like that." "Then give me a call and tell me over the phone." "Yeah, some people have more to say over the phone." "My mum for instance." " She tells you everything over the phone?" " She likes to give me instructions." "Do you want to have children?" "You wouldn't?" " Would you love your child?" "Nah..." "Of course, I'd love a child... a little boy." "Hey, I'm joking." "He doesn't want one?" "At first he said he didn't, then he said he did..." "It was too late by then." "Are you in pain?" "Physically?" "Do you feel OK?" "I didn't realise at the time..." "I thought" "I wouldn't be able to have one with him." "You can't have a baby with someone who's a baby himself." "He left as soon as I told him I was pregnant." "Imagine that." "Would you have left?" "He hasn't once asked me how I am since I arrived..." "As if it was nothing..." "I couldn't tell him because" "I still wasn't sure myself if I wanted it..." "I know I should have told him straightaway." "When he left I knew I didn't want the baby." "So I went to the clinic." "It seemed so simple, like looking at another woman in that waiting room." "That feeling, that there was something inside me that was mine and mine only..." "Something I was basically always ready for, always waiting for..." "Does that seem normal to you?" "It seems awful to me." "I always asked myself how a woman could do that." "I thought I was different." "I'm not." "You are different." " No, I'm horrible." "Disgusting." "I could have had the baby." "Now, when it's gone, I feel it was there." "Have you got a tissue?" " Yes." "Give me one then." "I'll just be a second." " I'll wait." "Good morning." " Hi." "Having fun in the tent?" "Luka, isn't it?" "Yeah, Luka." " Primoz." " Is something wrong?" "Have you moved?" " Why moved?" "The tent, I mean." "Have you developed those photos?" "What photos?" " I was the one who allowed you to take the photos that time." " What do you mean "allowed"?" "You were taking pictures without a permit." " Ready!" "Sorry, I had a few things to do..." "Have you two...?" "We have." " Let's go." "What did you say your name was?" "Primoz." " Primoz." " Primoz." " Bye." "Hey!" "300 tolars!" "300 tolars!" "You don't remember me?" "Oh, hi!" "From the pharmacy." "Yes." "Sorry I pushed in." "I was in a real hurry." "No problem." "You really know how to handle life, I guess." "Perhaps." "Or else life knows how to handle me." "Grab it as hard as you can." "Where are you staying?" " In a tent." "Here on the campsite?" " Up in the village." "You got some land up there?" " With a house on it." "And you're sleeping in a tent." "So the house is empty?" "Not entirely." " What's inside?" " A girlfriend." "A girlfriend?" " Yep, and she owns the house." "You're mad." " You don't know how much." "Let's go for a drink." "Ana." " Hi, I'm Luka." "500." " It's my turn." "200..." "Can you give me that 300 back?" "Thanks." "Tip tomorrow." "Are you here alone?" " No, I'm with you." "But I could be alone if I wanted." "Has anyone ever taken your picture?" "All the time when I was small." "Pictures to die for." "Photos can really do things to you." "Did you want to take my picture?" "Looking for someone?" " The someone from the house." "The girlfriend?" " You could say that I suppose." " Hey, it's no big deal." " I can't do much about it anymore." "When you have problems, it's worse if you're alone." "I haven't got a problem really." " Even if you haven't got a problem, it's nicer to have people around you." "Can you take this jeep anywhere you want?" "Only if you're on a special mission." "Otherwise, no." "Special mission?" " Like today." ""Mission impossible"." "What happens if they find you?" "Then I'd have to explain the mission." "I'd like to be there when you do." " I wouldn't!" "Do you understand what birds are talking about?" "Yep." "They're grinning at you right now." "No, they're not." " They're laughing at you." "As soon as you're in a tree, you know you're not a bird." "What?" " Well, I have to hang here like a leopard." "Wouldn't it be great if me and you could fly away and build a nest somewhere?" " You like birds that much?" "I think they're the nicest animals." "Shall we climb down?" "This is my little boy." "Isn't he sweet?" "How old is he?" " Show him." "You know how." "Two and a half." "He saved my life." "Is it difficult having a kid?" " I love it." "How old were you when you had him?" "You just want to know how old I am!" "Oh, hi!" "This is my Misko." "He adores kayaking." "Hi, Misko!" "Don't take this wrong, but sometimes I really like to meet someone with a problem, so I don't feel so alone." "Well, you don't seem to have any problems to me." "Or maybe that's a false impression..." "You have to learn how to live a problem-free life." "When you learn that, it's great, except those days when it all gets too much." " Do you learn or decide?" "Good question." "You have to decide beforehand." "Learning comes afterwards." " Are you ever sorry you made the decision you did?" " Get off my back." "I'm interested." "Are you still you, or some other person?" "Do you live on your own or with someone you don't really know?" "You really know how to bring someone down." "Yeah, I've been doing that a lot lately." "That's why she left, huh?" "Clever girl." "I left once and" "I wasn't sorry at all..." "Not one little bit, believe me." "Was that before or after two and a half years ago?" "I'll tell you if you tell me where your girlfriend went and why." " To the river." "Alone?" "By jeep." "Alone?" "She's not the one driving the jeep." "I reckon you've got a really stupid problem." "Tomorrow you're going to wake up in the tent, be soaked through, go back to the house, hug and kiss, and everything will be like it was before." "Why do so many people live like that?" " It's easier." "You can only split up for a good reason." "It's not the bad things that are fucked up, it's the good things." "24 hours of crap, 5 amazing minutes and you're there another 3 years." "Go figure." " I figure It's fucked." "You figured correct." " Have you got another beer?" "What animal would you be?" "Something cute." "A koala." "You?" "A male koala." "Nah, a duck." " Why a duck?" "You can swim, fly, walk." "What more do you need?" "But ducks walk pretty badly..." " Well, yeah..." "The other day I was watching Discovery." "You know what sloths look like?" "Sloths?" "The two- or three-toed variety?" "No idea." "They've got a real smile on them, and these bushy eyebrows." "They look pretty content." "They're in the trees from the day they're born." "Every five days they go down for a crap." "They need half a day to climb back up." "Why not crap in the trees?" " That's the way they do it." "There was this scene where a sloth was going back after a crap." "This snake was watching him from the grass." "The sloth had absolutely no idea what was going on around him." "I was terrified." "I said, oh no, this snake's going to eat my sloth!" "But he was dead cool about the whole thing..." "The snake pounced... but missed the sloth by a whisker!" "How can you miss a sloth?" "I thought he would dash up the tree." "But nope." "Nothing happened to him." "Had no idea where he was." "That smile, those eyebrows, and a face you'd love to wake up next to in the morning." "And despite everything he managed to spot a shoot." "He pulled himself up and stretched out his neck..." "So, you rule if you're a duck." "You'd still prefer to be a duck?" "No, I'd prefer to be a male duck." "It would depend on what the females looked like." "Yeah, male ducks look better..." "Male animals are usually more beautiful than females, aren't they?" "Now you know how people are different from animals." "Mind the grass!" "Hold the line!" "This is better than a jeep, you know." "Keep going!" "Don't panic!" "Give it some gas!" "Does the little'un help you clear up?" " Shhhh!" "Does he do any dusting?" " Don't be silly." "I'll be cleaning up after him for the rest of my life." "Can I ask you something?" " Yep." "What forces women towards order and neatness so that they do everything by the book, everything mother said was right?" "Where's the desire to see the world?" "How can you pee..." "I mean, see the world?" "Sweetheart, do that and you won't be able see a way out." "OK, just..." " You said your girlfriend has a jeep but you don't know how to drive So how did you get here?" "She hasn't got a jeep, she's got an Audi." "Whatever." "She has a car and you don't have a licence." "She's probably earning good money, and you probably don't earn that much with your photos..." "People have to do everything by the book because they have to survive and get to the end of the month." "That's not important." " Of course it is." "Even more when you have a kid." "You can't be in the red by the middle of the month and then live on powdered milk for the rest of it." "How would you feel about that?" "This logic's totally fucked." "Do you still want to be with her?" "When it's a matter of where the money's coming from, of survival..." "But where's the fun, the pleasure?" " You have to find pleasure in living like that, in surviving." "Then you can get by." "If not, you're not mature enough to live with a woman." "If you're not bored being on your own, then be on your own." "That's OK, too." "It's just that I can't do it." "I've always done everything not to be on my own." "I was with a complete jerk." "Just so I wasn't alone." "Try being on your own." "What was it like being with a complete jerk?" "Nice." "Yeah, it's... nice." " But?" "You can't be with a jerk your whole life." "After a while you have to leave." " And you left?" "Me and my little boy." " Can a jerk change?" " You know, if you want to be with her, you have to change." "Things aren't that simple." "I could have carried on living like that except for my little boy." "Why does everyone say that everything's different as soon as you have a kid and life suddenly has meaning?" "You have to sacrifice your whole life to look after your kid." " You know what a fucking pain it is just looking after yourself?" "Who forces you to clean your teeth when you get up?" "If there's no one around to smell you, then you don't brush your teeth." "If there's no one around in the morning yelling for their breakfast, why look after yourself?" "It's easier to stay in bed and do nothing." "I was on my own and it was totally miserable." "I saw a really beautiful sunset once." "What do I get out of something beautiful if I can't share it with someone?" "Nothing." "I'd rather be beaten up every day than watch a fucking sunset on my own." "When I'm alone, I have the feeling I don't exist." "So what?" "I went to hospital and everything was OK again the next day." "But at least I had the feeling I was alive." "And now you don't?" " I do." "Misko's a diamond." "He's just a bit different, does his own thing." "He loves me." "I know that." "MESSENGER BOY" "Have you ever been..." "...to Postojna caves?" "No, to Scotland." " No." "I'd really like to go." " I'll take you." "This autumn, if you'll be coming to Bela Krajina, OK?" "I'd like to go and tell him." " What?" "That I'll be coming to Bela Krajina." "Really?" "Do you need a military escort?"
