NOTHING IS MORE IMMINENT THAN THE IMPOSSIBLE

HUGO, LES MIS�RABLES

BEHIND THE GLASS

Hello, yes?

Good day...

What?

When were you there?

Okay, I will check it out immediately...

I apologize...

I know that it was your choice. I'm just on my way there...

Okay, I'll write it down, just a little...

There, I wrote it down... Yes...

Listen, I really don't know how that is possible...

...I neither chose, nor loaded the stuff...

I apologize, we'll settle that...

We'll settle everything, I'm just on my way up there.

What... what's that guy doing?

Hello, Slavko?

Well, what's with that pallet?

With the one at Brezak's.

He just called me and told me those aren't the ones he chose!

Well, they aren't!

He said you were together and he says he chose...

Atlas konkorde 3697... - Drive, buddy!

3-6-9-7...

Yes!

Listen, I'm coming up there and you be there!

I don't know how! Energize yourself!

What do you want, what do you want?

You stopped the whole line of vehicles!

Idiot, make your calls from home, you son of a bitch!

You're a bitch yourself!

Asshole!

What the fuck is wrong with you?

Who told you to put these...

Take them off, take them off! Those are not the ones.

How come? - You're being a wise guy, huh?

Who said they are to be laid this way anyway?

Which way then?

What happened? - What happened?

What does it say here? - Atlas konkorde...

Atlas konkorde... What type, you can't read?

I didn't write the order form, Bo�ko did.

Come here...

Were you in Kreiva with Brezak? -Yes.

And - Did you see which ones he chose?

Yes - And? - And? Are those the ones?

Are you trying to fuck with me?

I'm asking, are those the ones?

You go on and solve that with Bo�ko and stop fucking with me.

I'm fucking with you? - Yes, you are. Both of you.

You pump me before the boys for any damn thing...

...instead of solving your shit. - What shit?

You know what I'm talking about, both. Solve it with him.

What am I to solve with him?

Slavko?

Hello?

What's Slavko talking about?

What, what's Slavko talking about?

I'm asking you. -Sorry, pal, I'm just shaving.

Let's talk later, OK?

Yes? -Why're you hanging up on me?

I'm not hanging up anything, I'm shaving, man.

I'm asking you, what's he talking about?

Why are you so nervous?

How do I know what he's talking about...

...and why did you have to go there today, huh?

Hello, it's me.

Check that thing with Bo�ko for me.

What happened? I'm getting dressed.

Nothing, Slavek fucked me up with him.

I told you to watch out for him.

Why would I've to watch out for Slavek, a bricklayer.

I'm talking about Bo�ko.

Please check that concession for Brac for me...

...and that general urban development plan, right away.

Pick me up and we shall check it on the Internet, and then...

Wait, I have another call...

Hello?

Listen, when do you think to appear?

I'm coming, I'm driving.

Ida has been dressed for an hour...

...parents have called twice already.

I'll just take the ointment to dad and I'm coming.

Ljerka can't spend all day. She has her own stuff to do.

I told you I was coming! - Don't shout.

I can't now, I'm in the hospital.

You were right, all the plots are on the same name.

Certain Duspara.

I can't now.

Hi, dad.

Did you bring it?

Yes. Here it is...

Shall we?

Hey!

How is our patient?

Here, here's your oil, so you don't forget it...

Let me take a look at that...

Well, it got reduced a little, it looks better...

Did you bring the ointment? - Yes, here it is.

This is not the one I told you about.

They told me it was the same.

It's not the same...

Come on, lift him up a little more...

Is that you ringing?

Never mind.

Did he install bonegracias for you?

What?

Did he install bonegracias for you?

Be careful, you're dragging it along the floor!

Would your hands drop off if you picked it yourself?

And why? Can you hold the distance, please?

I'll end up puking here.

Did you say we had to arrive in five minutes?

Yes, I did. But alive, that would be great...

Ida, did you bring along your slippers? -I did.

Let me see, did you put them in your backpack?

Good.

It's not a backpack, it's a bag.

When we come there, I don't want to hear...

...any fighting with Luka, understand? -Yes.

That boy is an aggressive type.

Come on, please, just defend her.

I have to pee.

Dad, come on, they are here... -I'm coming!

You got off easy again. - Mom...

Come on, they are here...

Slowly, girls...

You're dragging it along the floor... -Hi, Maja.

Hi, mom.

I marked it for you with pins. Just cut it and hem it, please.

I had to do that for Luka too now...

That's all. Here are the cookies for you.

Oh, come on. Why the cookies?

Nikola, will your mom be coming?

Unfortunately not. - Why?

She's visiting dad in the hospital.

How is he, is he better?

The same.

I talked to doctor �pilman, he was a resident with me...

Not again. We've heard that story a hundred times...

...and we'll hear it a hundred times more...

Thank you, in any case.

Let him speak... - I just say that we know it...

Is this where you turn the air conditioner on?

Yes, only, it's not working at the moment for some reason.

Yes, for some reason...

Nikola, what kind of bottles are these?

That's olive oil, my mom sent them to you.

It's our home-made oil. - Thank you very much...

You are really insane, how can you keep that here?

Couldn't you have left that at home?

Nothing has happened. - Nothing has happened.

Well, it could've poured all over the car...

Well, it could've, but it didn't...

What is the matter with you today?

Did you even look?...

What, what is the matter with me?

For the contribution to science...

...and particularly for forming...

...the modern computer science studies...

...for permanent and active modernization of teaching...

...and research, the Award of the City of Zagreb...

...is given to the professor of the Faculty...

...of Electrical Engineering and Computing Pavel Buljan,D. Sc.

The Award of the City of Zagreb...

...and the cash amount will be handed over...

...over to professor Buljan by the Mayor...

...and the diploma by the Chairman of the Assembly...

...of the City of Zagreb. We congratulate him once again.

For a special project of the sports hall...

...of the First Languages Grammar School in Zagreb...

...the Award of the City of Zagreb is given to...

...architects Nikola Jeren, Ana Zagar and Bo�ko Antunovic...

In spite of the limited space...

...these three architects and founders of...

...the architectural studio BAN, realized complete integration...

...of these hall premises into a uniform volume...

...with clear external spaces and relationships...

...towards the environment.

The Award and the cash amount will be handed over...

...to the architects by the Mayor, while the Chairman...

...of the Assembly will hand them...

...the diploma and flowers. Sincere congratulations.

We must talk.

Not now, you'll wake up the kid.

Can you do it now? - What?

Talk.

What, does it have to be now?

Well, when then?

I haven't had a second's break all day long.

Neither have I, it won't last longer than a few seconds.

Yeah, you bet.

In only about ten years since it was first noticed...

...in the Mediterranean Sea, in depths of Monaco...

...it spread to the seabed of France, Italy, Tunisia...

Spain and Croatia.

It has become the main ecological topic...

...when speaking about the Mediterranean Sea.

It was called the killer alga.

Caulerpa taxifolia.

Caulerpa taxifolia is the green alga...

...growing in tropical and some moderately warm seas...

What are you watching? - So, you're not interested?

In what?

What, in what? That's what I've been trying to tell you.

I'm not in the mood. I can't do it now.

You can't do it now. Like, we talk all the time...

...so you can't do it now.

Stop annoying me. - I'm annoying you?

What do you want from me, what do you want?

You're pumping me all day long, you keep on calling me...

...what do you want from me?

I want to talk, you idiot!

We're talking, damn it, are you deaf?

I told you a hundred times, move this from here!

I can't find the remote. - Piss off!

I'm humiliating myself all the time in order...

...to have the master spare three minutes of his time!

You selfish bastard.

Your mom is a bastard, talk like that with her.

You talk like that with that of yours, you get it?

Always the same... - What, always the same?

Do you think I give a damn about that?

Do you think I'm really that stupid?

Ida, you're not sleeping? - You're quarreling again.

Do you want mom here?

What are you doing?

We have to learn this for Holy Communion.

Do you want me to examine you now, if you're not sleepy?

Okay, but I haven't learned all.

Come on, never mind. Let's go:

In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Amen. I humbly confess all my sins which I committed...

...since the last confession...

...which was then and then. You don't have to say that...

...because it's your first one, so you just say:

I humbly confess all my sins...

Where're you going?

To hell.

Leave me alone.

What could I've done?

What could I've done?

You even invited her parents.

They invited themselves.

They invited themselves?

And your brother-in-law and sister-in-law were on duty...

...so they couldn't come? You're so pathetic...

Fuck off...

Ana...

Come on, calm down, please...

Calm down...

Please...

Everything will be okay.

The hell it will, nothing will be okay...

Ana, please don't... - Don't what...

We pulled through so much together...

What, you jerk? We adapted, that's all we did.

Six years, you know how long that is?

This is the finish.

What is this to you, a race?

Like I can take all this?...

You can, of course you can.

Until summer... - God, what summer...

I told you, until summer. - You said all kinds of things!

You come here for an hour, you fuck me and leave.

Come on, Ana... - Shut up, man!

I'm pretending before everybody, lying...

I can't stand myself anymore.

We're going to Brac the day after tomorrow.

Not me. -We're going to Brac, we arranged that.

I'm not going, I only feel even worse later.

Go with Bo�ko, he has his arrangements there anyway.

The two of us are going!

I'm going mad, man. I'm completely mad already.

We pulled through six years, six years.

How can I take it all?

You should take it too 'coz you love me, damn it!

How can I take it all? I can take anything, damn...

...everybody's fucking with me, whoever has a chance...!

Hold on, damn it!

Hold on!

I confess to God Almighty...

...and to you brothers and sisters...

...that I have sinned exeedingly...

...in thought, word and deed...

...through my fault, through my fault...

...through my most grievous fault.

And I ask blessed Mary, ever virgin...

...all the angels and saints...

...and you, my brothers and sisters...

...to pray for me to the Lord our God.

May almighty God have mercy on us...

...forgive us our sins...

...and bring us to everlasting life.

Amen.

The Body of Christ. - Amen.

The Body of Christ. - Amen.

That is really solved great in Sweden...

'cos the taxes on alcohol and cigarettes are enormous.

That's simply too expensive.

And ever since people think about whether they wish...

...to spend their money on something like that...

Wait, how much is a pack of cigarettes then?

Here, one pack of cigarettes is about 50 kuna.

How much?

Nikola... that thing with Slavek...

Okay, we'll discuss that later...

Maja.

Are you OK? - Why?...

You don't seem yourself to me today.

Oh, no, everything is fine. - Are you sure?

Just a moment, people...

Just a moment, please, may I have your attention...

I have a news I would like to share with you...

...which nobody knows yet.

I know some will think that this may not be...

...the right moment, but I somehow think...

...that it is proper that the family learns first...

I am pregnant.

I am pregnant.

I had it confirmed yesterday.

Maja, are you sure? - Yes, yes I am...

Well, great!

I congratulate you... - Nobody knows except you yet.

What, you haven't told Nikola either?

No, I haven't managed. There was no time to tell him.

Go on, man, congratulate your wife.

Are you sure? - Yes. I even have a picture.

The spitting image of his dad.

The pregnant woman has to go to the bathroom.

Excuse me.

Two months, that is eight weeks...

You will be baptising this baby, reverend.

God willing, yes...

Wait.

What is it?

Did you have to do it in front of all?

We could've celebrated it last night - You had no time.

You had to leave for the second shift, you remember?

Are you sure?

You have a picture there, take a look.

Are you sure it's mine?

You insolent son of a bitch. How dare you...

I CAN HARDLY WAIT FOR ANA

What are you doing here?

I'm going to the bathroom.

I'll take you so you don't get all frozen...

Who is sending you message at this hour?

Diners...

Hi.

What happened?

The worst thing is to get packed for three days...

Don't scare me, is something wrong with dad?

No.

What happened, have you met with Bo�ko?

You better tell me what happened.

She's pregnant.

Who?

Maja.

I don't know what to say, Ana...

Give me back the keys and get out...

Give me back the key and get out!

Get lost, get lost, don't come to me ever, ever again!

Get out!

Hurry up, Ida.

When are you coming back? - I don't know when exactly.

What does that mean? - I don't know when exactly.

And what does it depend on? About her periods maybe?

Hi, mom. - Hi, honey.

Come on, Ida... I'm presenting the project of the marina...

...in Bobovi�ce on Wednesday, so, if everything is fine...

...on Wednesday in the evening, if not...

...then on Thursday in the morning. OK?

When are you coming back? - On Wednesday, Thursday.

Didn't you hear what I was talking with mom?

Where did you go during the night?

To the drugstore. I had a splitting headache.

Why is she in such a bad mood? -Who?

Mom.

Must be such a day. - Everything makes her nervous.

Is that because of that new baby?

Yes, because of the baby.

Are you happy about the baby?

There...

There, just a bit longer...

Don't be scared, I won't cut you...

There...

Hi, honey. - Hi, mom.

I was at the market-place, so I dropped by...

Why didn't you call me before?

Because you would've said you had no time.

Fine, we would have met at Ljerka's for lunch.

I brought you aragula, early peas. All fresh...

You shouldn't have.

What is this?

Leave that, why are you doing this now?

Fine, fine...

Ida is in school? - Yes, she is...

Are you doing that?

Who else?

You shouldn't. - Why?

Because of radiation. - Oh, come on, mom, please...

Fine, fine, fine...

These old shoes gave me blisters...

Won't you sit down?

I've been watching you for a longer time...

...and I see you're not well.

And, did you come to tell me that?

That I've not been well for a long time.

I know that is not easy. - That?

Yes, that. - What that?

That with Nikola. -Come on, say it, what that?

That with Nikola!

You cannot even say that aloud.

You think it's better in other families? -Please...

When dad was Nikola's age...

...he could remain longer under the water than at home...

...and look at him now... - And what does that mean?

That we should be patient until we retire...

...and then it will be easier for us...

It takes patience, children are most important.

When a new child comes, everything'll be OK.

Nikola is not a bad man. He'll not leave his family...

Of course he'll not, mom. He's a coward.

I can't speak with you. I can speak with Ljerka...

...but not with you...

Oh, fine, OK. Thank you, you helped me a lot...

I'm worried, I'm worried...

That's why I came. I came to tell you...

...that dad and I were happy about the new child.

I came to tell you to please...

...calm down. And that everything would be all right.

Hey, it's me...

Can you come to the office in an hour?

Can you do it or not?

Listen, Jerko is with me today, so that...

Okay, wait, well...

Okay, I'll come with him, never mind.

OK, see you...

Just a minute, please!

Hey, just a minute! Wait!

You're now permanently employed with those?

Well, yes and no.

I have a small flat rate for editing...

...then I get paid extra for translations and proof-reading.

That's OK, isn't it? - Well, yes...

What about social security? - What?

You pay the social security yourself.

I'll never amount to anything. - That's not what I meant.

You want to go play a little? - Sure.

Are you going too? - Okay.

How interesting that is, the older sister all A's...

...from the first grade to the residency exam...

...the brother a mathematic genius...

That is not completely out of the blue, huh, Damir?

It's nothing special, dad... - Thank heavens I was often ill...

...then noble doctors remembered that I existed as well...

Dear Maja, it's all our fault. - Oh, no, it's not, mom.

Nothing is your fault. It's all my own fault.

Give me some water, please...

Yes, that is the reason for that. -It is.

I was in bad mood during the first time too.

You had horrible sicknesses with Ida, yes...

And now? - What now?

Do you get sick? - No, I feel great now.

You see.

I felt fantastic all 3 times, I really had no problems.

The only problem for me was when I went to give birth...

...to my boy was that I didn't manage to have a pedicure...

...and that was a disaster for me...

Miss Perfect allowed herself such a failure?

Not me, I was moving about as a fat hairy pig...

Maja, don't speak of yourself like that...

And I'll do so again now. That's, that's super for me!

I'm looking forward to that...

Leave it, I'll help you... - Please leave it alone.

Am I not capable for that now either?

I didn't mean it that way.

Maja...

That will kill you. - That?

That's what mom told you? - Ljerka.

But it doesn't matter now, really.

There is nobody not knowing that anymore.

They work together?

You don't want that kid now, do you?

You shouldn't live like that anymore.

Ljerka lives like that too. And mom lived like that...

...and that is considered normal here.

If anything was normal here...

...we would never have left for Sweden.

Hey. - Hey.

Didn't you go with Nikola? - No.

You sit down here...

What is that? -The old title deed, the new title deed...

...your e-mail. - And?

Who is that Duspara of yours?

Slavek's brother-in-law. - And, just occasionally...

...a relative to your new companion.

What new companion? - The one with that heavy chain...

...which surved us those diplomas the other day...

So what? - What, so what?

What do you think how is business done today?

You know what that is called? That business of yours.

What, may I ask? - Crime.

It is, is it?

And I would appreciate if you would advise me...

...about other criminal activities of yours...

...for the beginning, all about this concession for the marina.

Wait, are you calling me to account for what I do, or what?

In case you have forgotten...

...this office is registered to Nikola's name too.

Leave Nikola alone. He doesn't need a lawyer.

He doesn't need such a partner either. -What kind?

The lying one and working behind his back.

You have the guts to talk about lying to me? You?

You and Nikola live in such a fucking lie that it makes me...

...want to puke... - Don't talk bullshit, please...

I'm talking bullshit? I? And you two making me lie...

...to that poor wretch every time I look her in the eyes...

...and, mind you, not for months, but for years...

You resolve that with him.

You've nothing to do with that?

You only have a golden pussy and you don't give a damn.

The topic was not my pussy, but... -Go fuck yourself.

While you were here nicely combining fucking with work...

I got divorced for the second time in my life...

...so that I now pay three alimonies...

I fulfill all the wishes and whims...

...of my children in adolescence and of the one over there.

Yes, yes, you are really a social case.

I mean, I'm really sorry for you...

Fuck you! You and that jerk of yours.

What is this? - Whiskey.

I told you blueberry juice. - That is so fucking healthy.

If I wanted whiskey, I would have said whiskey.

Yes, you always know what you want. -Come on, please...

Drink this, you will feel great...

Look, Ana, this is really lasting too long.

When you broke up with him, it should have remained so...

...and that's it. -Yes, you always know everything.

It's not that, but you should have fucked him off...

...in the beginning...

And you even enrolled in a business with him...

...and not even with him but with that idiot of his.

You're really ruining your life.

I watched you yesterday up there...

I watched him, you, I watched that wife of his...

Look... -He likes it. That's what suits him...

I'm not in the mood... - I know a 100 people...

Marta, I don't give a damn about those people.

Why are you not, for example, in Brac now?

I'm leaving the office, I'm going to study full time.

Well, wait, what did you two...

What, like, that could be the only reason for me to go.

Let's go to Doli tomorrow... - I don't want to go to Doli.

I don't feel like going to Doli, I have no intention at all...

...to go to some fucking Doli, OK?

Her mother died of that too.

Only, they didn't detect it in time.

Oh, how bad.

Ana, when did you have your last... Ana!

When did you have your last gynecological exam?

Why? - Nothing, forget it.

She won't be able to have kids.

The important thing is she stayed alive.

Yes, it turned out for the best in the worst.

Damn it, how many of our gang have croaked...

Guys, want a beer?

They're discharging her next week.

Maybe we could go visit her tomorrow. -We have to.

How Danfa had a heart attack, damn...

The man was engaged in sports all his life...

...he was playing basketball, came home...

...and - His ticker exploded in the bathroom.

Anic is up there, in cardiology, in Rebro too...

Yeah, but this one never told anything to anybody, man.

He was a tough guy, you know.

And Rako�icka was driven to a car crash by her husband.

And their son. -Yes, but he wasn't hurt at all.

Damn it, that broad was a rally driver.

Yes, she had that bike... - A small Honda?...

Yes, a Honda.

And then her husband makes them crash.

I tell you, marriage is a dangerous thing.

There's no problem for us then.

We are a protected kind.

Ana was in marriage. For six years.

But not her own!

Why are you looking at me like that now?

That's your joke... I'm sorry...

I'll have to leave you now.

My deadline is tomorrow and I haven't written a shit yet.

I'm going with you. - You said you'll sleep over.

I didn't, you said you would sleep here.

Don't make me feel bad now...

I'm leaving tomorrow early in the morning...

...so you can go with me...

Ida... - Yes?

Come here a little...

Ida! - I'm coming.

Ida!

What is it, mom? - Go call somebody, quickly.

What's the matter with you? - Go call Ljerka, quickly!

SIX MISSED CALLS

It will ring again now...

Here goes...

Why don't you switch it off?

You still want to know if he will call...

The addict's syndrome, huh?

Why, have you got similar experience?

Look at this...

Come, look...

An alga, caulerpa, I don't know if you have maybe heard.

Which one? - Caulerpa taxifolia.

I'm quite into that. An Australian alga...

...which moved to the Mediterranean in eighty four.

Moved? -First it was grown in tropical aquariums.

In fact, it's very beautiful, light green...

It has like some branches... - Some feathery leaves...

And then it was accidentally released into the sea...

...first in Monaco, from the Oceanographic Museum...

...and then it spread everywhere because it built on nets...

...anchors and the like...

First they thought that was a tropical alga.

It mutated and thus became resistant and poisonous.

Then they learned that its origin was actually Australia...

...where the temperature of the sea is similar to ours...

...and where it grows in the same rate as here...

...a centimeter a day. Imagine that.

A centimeter a day.

Only, nobody eats it in the Mediterranean...

...because of its poison so that it started to quench...

...and destroy everything around it with incredible speed...

What?

Nothing, I'm listening.

It spreads by fragmentation, which means...

...that a new alga can develop from each part of it.

And now nothing can stop it anymore.

Only some higher force, dear God...

There was a moment when they could've stopped it...

...when they should've stopped it...

...but that was missed and now the catastrophic prospect is...

...that we shall have the whole bottom covered...

...with meadows of those algae.

Good morning. - Good morning.

How are we today? - Fine.

And here you go, you're always the first up.

The only good habit, what can you do.

Will your folks be coming today? -I don't know.

Good morning.

' Morning.

There, watch your head...

They have good coffee across the street, want some?

Thanks, but I'm in a hurry. I must hand over the samples.

I'll call you later. - OK.

Bye. - Bye, thanks.

Doctor, that man is still here.

What should I do now?

Doctor Maras explained to him everything.

Yes, but he wants to speak exactly to you.

He says that it would all be different if you had operated.

Come on, please, what would be different...

Maja, what are you doing here? -Oooh, mom...

You know you must rest.

You only need to start bleeding again.

All that had to bleed out did, okay?

Have you told Nikola? - No.

I'm sure you've already told him the happy news.

And what was I supposed to do?

You don't answer the mobile, he has called you 3 times.

He would arrive in the afternoon.

Is Ida okay? - Yes.

Is she in school? - Yes, I took her.

Ana...

Come on, open the door, I know you're here...

Ana...

Hi, Ana, it's Miha.

Marko and me are taking that friend of ours to squid.

If you want, you can join us.

Call Marta too, just call me, please, so I would know.

OK, bye.

Hi...

How are you?

I'm great.

I called you, but you didn't answer.

Don't touch me...

Mrs. Jusic, this is my husband. - Glad to meet you.

I saw Ida. We agreed to go for a pizza after school...

Shall we?

What?

Shall we go out for a while? - You feel uncomfortable?

Please, we'll talk when we get home...

We have nothing to talk about at all.

I'm sorry this has happened.

This?

Does abortion sound better than a spontaneous one?

I have the term on Friday at nine in the morning...

...if you wish to know...

Don't get up, madam, I don't mind you being here.

No, no. I must drink my medicine.

Good day... - ' Day.

Hi, sorry I'm late, the whole town is dug up...

Hi...

Let me introduce you, this is Ana. Ira.

Glad to meet you... Shall we go out, to eat squid?

And Marta, did you call Marta?

She doesn't answer, I've been calling her...

Let me try, please...

Ana...

Ana, wait...

What have you done to her?

I ask, what have you done to her?

Take it easy... Calm down... - I should calm down?

What do you want?

I haven't paid enough?... We are cattle?

You haven't been waiting long.

You're talking to me about waiting? You?

How much longer should I've waited...

...another six years, while the baby starts going to school!

Come on, be understanding... - I really don't understand...
