"Movie by Misa Radivojevic" "DAW" "Bird, the one that sings in me..." "And repeats to me that I love you..." "And repeats to me that I love you..." "Bird, the one that obsesses me..." "I will kill you tomorrow morning." "Cast" "Script" "Direction" "What are you doing over there?" " Studying." "What are you studying?" "To become a bird." "What?" "What was in school today?" "Nothing." "Come on, nothing." "Let me hear." "I was answering big questions on history." "Really?" "And which were those big questions on history to which you could give answers?" "When does it start and when does it end." "Who?" " History." "Well, when?" "History starts when men becomes evil." "Whow!" "Listen to your self!" "It ends when he becomes good again." "You are very smart." " Not me, Marx is." "And what happened afterwards?" " Understandable, I got an A." "Those A are really pathetic." " And yours weren't." "Stop whistling!" "What do you want?" " It is washed." "Well, who told you to wash it?" "Get lost." "You mother..." "I remembered him." "He will run into me one day." "Hey you over there, what are you doing?" "Standing." " Don't you have anything to do?" "Now I sat." "You haven't touched a book yesterday." " Yes I have." "If you keep on like this one day you will wipe windows at traffic lights." "Do you hear what I'm saying!" "?" " Traffic lights don't have windows." "I wish I knew where that waif is now..." "PRINCIPAL" "Say." "What is that?" "Tell me, how did you get in?" "Did I forget to lock the door?" "Of course." "If I had locked it, you wouldn't be here now." "Where are your parents?" "Take it and come with your father." " Father isn't here." "Then your mother should come." " I don't have a mother." "Give that." " Report to classroom number three." " Today?" "Right now!" "What's wrong with you?" "Children, you got a new buddy today." "Unfortunately he is not a good student, on the contrary, but we will help him to improve." "Please, pick a seat where you want to sit, but take off that cap." "Not there!" "And now we will talk about birds." "This one looks like a daw." "Silence." "Give me the ball, now." "Shall I come?" "Why are you touching my ball?" "Why did you touch it?" "What do you want?" "Keep away from that traffic light." " Which one?" "How do you know?" " I was in the car." "My father drives by every day." "I think he will remember you." "I will keep away from this traffic light." "And keep away from this street." "We live here." "Why didn't the teacher allow us to sit together?" "Because of my father." "He demands that I sit by myself." "I have to go." " Do you regularly wipe glasses ... at the traffic lights?" "Since I have to." "Do you understand now whom they sent?" "What do you expect from me?" " Yes, in case of need, you will give opinion on this pupil which would help us to send him where he came from." "Or we can pass him to someone." "Why do you write him off at the beginning?" "If you knew as much as me, you would think differently." " I don't think so." "What's that over there?" " Reproduction of a painting." "I can see that, but I can't figure out what it represents." "Well, try to figure out what it represents." "Are you testing me?" " Well, a little." "Scheme of a radio." "Yes or no?" " No." "Microbes?" " No." "Intersection of head-cheese?" " No." "I know, I know." "Paper-clips." "You didn't guess." "Labyrinth?" " No." "Wig?" " No." "I give up." " Park." "It's a park." "This is a park?" " The park at Lucern." "I am amused by your proneness to incomprehensible things." "We ran away from the topic of our conversation." "Well, don't I have the right to come here in private, like a friend?" "Of course." " Yes or no of course" "Of course." "Why did you close the door when I told you to leave them open?" " Yours were closed too." "I'm in charge in this house..." "I'm in charge in this house." "What was in school today..." "What was in school today?" "A new pupil arrived." "A new pupil at this time?" " What's that new one like..." "What's that new one like?" "I don't know." "Good." "What is his name..." "What is his name?" " They named him Daw." "What are his parents..." "What are his parents?" "I don't know." "You don't know anything today..." "You don't know a thing today, ha?" "Why was the phone busy at quarter past two?" "Did you hear my question?" "I don't know why it was busy at quarter past two." "What's this?" "Did you start to shave?" "Did you?" "You and I will have to talk seriously." "OK." "What are you doing here?" "Sitting." " You are disturbing me." "Why?" " You'll see." "You are the new one?" " Yes." "I work here as psychologist." " What?" "My name is Nada." "Yours are at a museum." "Why aren't you with them?" "No one told me." "Let's go to my place." "Sit." "Where you want." "Since when were you in the classroom?" " Since this morning." "Since this morning?" " That is when I came." "Well, wasn't it strange that no one was there?" "I don't know." "No." "It seems like nothing surprises you." "Why didn't you ask someone?" "Whom?" "Maybe you are right." "Pupils come to me when they have things to say that they can't tell anyone else." "Do you understand?" "Or to complain if they feel bad." "I don't feel bad." "At you old school you had bad grades." " After." "And at the beginning?" "I was good." " Have some." "You were restless." " After." "After what?" " When I've noticed I was disturbing." "It must have been that coat." " I wasn't wearing it then." "Was it because you're handsome?" "Handsome?" "What do you think is on that painting?" "It's OK if you don't know." "Park." "I think it's a park." "If they leave you again," "come to me." "Why didn't you come to the museum?" " No one told me." "Sorry, I forgot to tell you." " It's not your fault." "Have some." "For me?" "You gave him more." " I didn't." "You are lying." "Let me see." "Why are you kicking him?" " Because I want to." "He is OK, he just got scared." "Is this Jatagan-street?" "Is this Harlem or school?" "I have a lots of sympathies for you, but you don't have sympathies for me and my position." " He attacked me." "You must not have beaten him!" "You mustn't!" "You will not answer for that, I will!" "I will..." "Can you see what you have done to me?" "I'll fall sick because of you." "I was asked only to warn you and I am warning you." "Our conversation would be different, if it wasn't only a warning." "This is your last warning." "Get lost!" "Of course, no one claims that it was stolen." "It could happen to anyone to accidentally take something." "And it is polite to return it and appologise to whom he took it from." " He couldn't have taken it." "You keep quiet, I didn't ask you anything." "So?" "I don't know what's missing." "Step out from the desk." "Stand here." "What is this?" "How could he, when he wasn't here?" "You get thrown out of school for such things." "I don't remember seeing this trolley in the park before." "It was brought for my father and me." "They threw us there." "When they confiscated our first house." "Threw?" "Settled us." "Where is he now?" "My father?" "Yes." "He's not here now." "One night he was fighting, over there by the fountain." "Afterwards they took him, but he'll be back." "Have some bread and honey." "There is a big tree, where our house was." "Billion birds lived in that tree." "Is that far away?" "Not much." "Would you show me that tree once?" "Let's go." "I think the teacher knew you didn't steal the watch." "She knew." "Why did she let them foist it on you?" "Because it was foisted on me by someone she can't accuse, see?" "We, mentors of new generations, shouldn't allow our words to become shallow." "We have to depict them to obligateness of the words, their weight and significance." "We must teach them of that." "If we tell them theft is fineable, and we don't punish them when we should, then our speeches become jannering." "Therefore we empower them not only to prattle, but to steal." "We make them say one thing and do the other." "We are softening their moral and in a deeper perspective, we're disturbing the foundations of this society." "We're depriving it of its future." "Imagine important and responsible people getting right to prattle." "What would happen if our managers spoke one thing, think of other and do the third thing?" "I can't imagine the chaos that would arise." "We mentors of new generations will not let that happen." "I suggest we vindicate exemplary the pupil we mentioned earlier." "Those who vote should raise their hands if they want him expelled." "Please let me suggest something." " No, we started voting." "Why don't you ask first who wants the pupil to stay in school." "Please, colleague, as if that matters." "I'll do that for you." "Who votes that pupil should stay at school?" "Dear colleagues, there has been new development which led me to propose passing in a different verdict." "It's good we didn't vote." "My new suggestion is not to expel him from school." "Who votes that the pupil should not be expelled from school?" "Thank you." "I understood, you are against that pupils expelling from school?" "You changed your opinion quickly." "Would you explain, why you changed your opinion?" "Explanation is pure formality in this case." "As with other cases." " But I'll do that for you." "The father of the boy we discussed is seriously hurt." "It's not that terrible, but, I think that from now on we must spare the boy." "This is humane." " Wasn't his father in jail?" " Do people only get hurt out of jail?" "Can you hear how time passes by?" "There is a place where time stands still." "I'll take you there once." "Birds, dragon flies... fish... snakes and many silent trees." "I'll take you." "Is it far away?" "I'll take you." "Nice pocket-knife." "What are you doing?" "Writing home." "The shortest letter to home is... a moan." "DAW" "What do you need that worm for?" "Does it bite?" "It's not that dangerous when it bites, but it will poke." "Does it hurt?" "Listen." "Is it crying?" "Eat." "Swallow the bones, and spit out the rest." "Daw!" "What happened?" "Can you hear?" "Let's go to the ambulance." "No, no." "Let me go." "Yes, we should go right now." " Don't, I feel good." "You are going too." "Take him." "I feel good." " Are you sure?" "Does he need to stay?" "No need, everything will be alright." "We'll get them." "I promise." "Let's go." "You didn't tell me why they attacked you." "I don't know." "You didn't do anything to them?" "Nothing." "Are you sure?" "I'm sure." "Tell me exactly where you live." " Here." "Here where?" " In the park." "Park?" "Where is your son?" " In a room." "Sick." "Is he?" "What's wrong with him?" " He has a headache." "Why would he have a headache?" "How come you never trust him?" "Mistake." "I don't trust you." "Get up." " I don't feel well." "Get up!" "What's wrong with you?" "What's the name of the guy that is beating you at the school?" " Who?" "The one that threw your ball on the roof?" "Daw." " And why is he attacking you?" "He's like that." "Like what?" "Stealing, lying, filthy." " Filthy?" "He stole from you?" "Not from me." "Did he bring someone to attack you?" "Did you attack him?" "Did you wait for him with someone?" "No, I didn't." " You didn't!" "Why do you yell?" "I have headache." "Did you or did you not?" "I didn't, I only defended myself." " You are lying!" "Lying!" "Get up!" "Till when will you lie?" "Till when will you lie, you and your mother?" "Till when?" "What am I here?" "What do I serve for at this house?" "To cover up your mess, is it?" " Dad, please don't." "Who taught you to beg?" "Who taught you that?" "Her?" "Did she teach you that?" "Did she?" "Did she teach you to beg, ha?" "Did she?" "Did you make up your mind?" "Who hit you?" "Who broke your glasses?" "Come on, lay down." "You don't know what you are to me." " I don't know." "You don't know?" "You said yourself I don't know." "Who hit you?" "Dad, it's nothing." "Happens to everyone." "It's nothing, but it is something when the son hides it from the father." "Why, why don't you let me sprain my leg?" "You sprained your leg, but that is my sons leg." "I want to know who hit you." "Tomorrow I'll go to the school and someone will be responsible for that." "Dad, don't come to school." "Don't get involved." "There is something outside the school." "What?" "Nothing dad." " What's there?" "Nothing." "You don't know what you are to me." "In short, I demand you to reveal who attacked my son and who broke his glasses." " Don't worry." "Shall we take a candy." "That doesn't work with me." " What?" " Your tricks." "I am not interested in your candies, but in protection of my son." "In case you can't protect him, I'll protect him myself." "No, you didn't understand me." "I always take some when I'm nervous, and someone is always unnerving me..." "As a member of school board, I will demand obligatory testing of school staff from point of professional deformation." "As you know that ballerinas have undeveloped toes or psychiatrists get mad from their patients, so do you get childish from you pupils." "In short, I demand that you immediately open up investigation, identify what happened and punish the culprit." "Otherwise, I'll ask for a solution at the right place." "If you don't do that you will be retired, as the piano tuner, you were, if I'm not wrong." "Good by." "You will identify this at the right place and solve it!" "Excuse me, colleague." " Nothing, nothing." "Can you see how good it was that I kept you?" "My nose never lets me down." "He wants to threaten me." "That lift-jack merchant." "I can put him on my lift-jack." "I'm not a chamber pot so that anyone can shit in me!" "And I don't give a damn his wife kicked him so he is nervous." "Ex cop." "Excuse me, please." " Nothing, nothing." "What do you mean nothing?" "!" "It is something!" "I have had enough of your Daw." "Do you think he is guilty?" "Even if he's not, he will be." "Who else could be guilty?" "Honestly tell me who else could be guilty?" "Who?" "You know that best." " Of course I know that best!" "Have I locked the door?" " I think you haven't." "You think?" "And the fact that I have five dollars in my desk and that someone could steal it from me, is that nothing?" "Do not spoil my work while I kick him out." "So..." "Oh Good, Good." "We've been avoiding the worst while we could." "Now we can't anymore." "A unforgivable and last mistake has been done." "Attacking two nice boys, pupils, scouts." "To hurt them." "That is a reason to expel from school." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry hundred times." "I'm sorry three thousand times, but nothing can be done." "Is it clear?" " It wasn't him." "I will talk to you later." "Next time you will come to me first, and not send your father." "I didn't send him." " Silence!" "Silence." "Stojanovic, poor Stojanovic." "Does it hurt you?" "How are you?" "How is your dad?" "I haven't seen him in a while." "He could sometimes stop by at my home." "What is it, dear boy?" "Just say." "Daw didn't do it." " Pardon?" "I didn't get it?" "Daw didn't do it." "I attacked him." "You didn't, you didn't." "You are too good, you only think so." "My father demanded that I say it today in front of everyone." "Your dad demanded?" " Yes." "Your dad did?" " Yes." "So, he thinks you are guilty, and not the one that left my class without permission?" "My father saw everything." "He knows what happened." "If that is the case, than that is the fact." "Colleague, take over the class." " And Daw?" "You expelled him from school." "You thought I did." "Everyone thought." "Is it clear?" "Clear." "There you go." "Today you won't be able to see your father." "He'll be back next week." "It will pass soon and then you'll be able to see him." "It will be better that way for him too." "Why can't I see him now?" " You'll be together, travelling." "I was born here." "My father was born here too." "Things will be better when you are together with your dad again." "You like travelling?" "Dad wants me to go to school." "Be patient a week or two and everything will be better." "You said a week, not two." "I can't promise anything, it's not up to me." "You are hiding something." "We will call you." "Yes?" "Wait a minute." "I'm listening..." "Yes, he is here." "Sleeping." "There is order in this house." "He is good." "Growing, he is progressing." "To go to lunch?" "I'm begging you to spare him of that." "Yes, I know you have right on him..." "Unfortunately." "Well, you are his mother..." "Please lets stop." "OK." "I thought about it." "Come to that lunch." "Would you have a lunch with me?" "My mom will take us." "What do you need me for?" "We'll be able to talk more if you come with us." "Alone, we don't talk." "Let me show you something else." "You should take out smaller glass from bigger without touching." "What do you mean without a touch?" "That's the catch." "It's impossible." "Glasses must stay on the desk." "Excellent." "Just give me back my cigarette." "It is same with people." "It seems like nothing can brake them apart, and then someone figures how to separate them." "You will stay friends, I can see that." "Why do you drink thus?" "How?" " Like that." "From the bottle." "Because I like it." "I always did what I liked, no matter what others thought of it." "No matter what your father thought too." "Wait a minute." "Easy, Miki." " Fuck you!" "Are you afraid?" " Of course I'm afraid." "But didn't we agree we would catch the snakes?" "Where are we going?" " You'll see." "Do we have to go this way?" " Yes." "Now what?" " Watch." "What's wrong with you?" "Why did you bring me here?" "To watch her." "Watch whom?" "Your mother?" "What's wrong with you?" "Is that why you brought me?" "Is that why you brought me?" "What's wrong with you?" "What's wrong with him?" "Sit down." "You got another new buddy who was, unlike the last, the best pupil in a small town in an Austrian town called Klargen." "Biljana, get out." "Dorde, would you like to recite a poem about birds in German?" "Erlkönig ..." "Erlkönig ..." "[German] Ich tanze mit dir in den Himmel hinein ..." "That was very nice." "Sit down." "What's this, can you tell me?" "It doesn't matter if you don't know." "It's a..." "One small heart." "It's a small memento for you." "If you will accept it." "How is your foot?" " My foot is good." "I ran into that waif." "Can you remember the one that squirted the spray in my face?" "I got him." "But he got away." "One of the big surprises for all of you will be our staying in, untouched nature surrounding the river Danube." "Even the sea, which seems to be unreachable clean, can not be compared with these pure waters." "You will learn how to tell apart transparency from purity." "And now, let us all go to the bank carefully." "Are we going?" " I don't want to." "Why?" " Just go." "Milorad drowns!" "Daw!" "Beneath the bed." "He threw down everything." " He was sleeping and dreaming." "Medicine is unpredictable." "Daw, we are coming back." "He won't, he won't, he won't." "We are coming back." "Daw, Daw!" " Sleep." "It would be good if he slept for a while." "Did you drink it?" "Sleep." "The worst has passed." "You were brave." "I look forward to meet Daw." "I ordered the principal to take him to the visit." "Do you know he saved you?" "How could you know..." "I brought you juices." "They said not to bring anything." "It is explicitly forbidden." "You will have some when they let you." "There are bananas too." "Do you like bananas?" "No way." "Mom, do you love me?" "I was a child, and she was grown up and dear," "she called me by her side and then she smiled." "I was sitting in her lap, and modest hand slipped" "through my hair, face, around my waist." "Sometimes, her mildness and proclamation" "would punish my irrational youth." "Is it done?" " Done." "OK." "Dad!" "Dad!" "Dad..." "Dad..." "Dad..." "You stole my coat." "I've kept it for you." "What's with your eye?" "I was bad." "Where are we going?" " As far as possible from here." "What are you looking at?" " Nothing." "Why are we leaving the city?" " It left us." "I thought I would keep on with school." "You will." "There is nothing to be sorry about." "On the contrary." "Will you give me now..." "Will you give me your penknife?" "You already usurped it." "The shortest letter... to home... is... a moan!" "What?" " Nothing." "Daw didn't call?" " How much is that?" "So, he hasn't called?" " Keep the change." "Come on, come on." "Supper." "PSYCHOLOGIST" "Milorad!" "What about Daw?" " In which way?" "He is missing." "He left." " What do you mean he left?" "Left." "With his father." " Really left?" "For how long?" " As much as I understand it, for a long time." "For a week?" "Longer, Milorade." "Much longer." "For a month?" "For many months." "Sit down." "Life consists, among all, of successes and failures." "Failure is an equally important part of life as success is." "Who can't comprehend this, is in danger to be miserable often and long lasting." "Your friendship with Daw is your big success." "As his with you." "It's a success to reach a big, nice," "impassive friendship." "And you reached it." "Daws departure is not your failure." "It is a failure of us grown-ups, of the whole society." "Unfortunately, you are the only one to perceive it as failure, because society is impersonal, and friendship is personal." "And your loss is quite personal." "So, Daws departure is not your failure, but your loss, but we must face the losses because they are part of our lives." "Soon..." "One day the pain will vanish," "and beneath the wound you feel now," "will grow the seed of your forbidden friendship." "It will evolve to a memory which will" "encourage you in hard situations that will come in the future." "There you go." "That's the truth of you." "It can't be true." "Daw, come back."
