- Have a safe trip, son. - Goodbye.

See you in six months.

- You've got everything? - God bless, Ticule.

Bon voyage!

Look after yourself, Ghița.

- All the best. - God bless.

While I was helping this ewe to give birth

that one delivered a dead lamb.

It made me feel like crying.

I came down here, but there was no ewe!

So I went back up and saw Bucaia was lambing.

The time it took to get her lamb out the other one had died.

Oh, you'll be the death of me!

Come on, up you get!

That one's killed my back.

- What a fighter. - Which one?

The one in this bag!

- Is this the dead one? - Yes.

And the bloody dog tried to eat it!

She abandoned it.

When I went over to her...

- Was there any placenta left on him? - No!

That's enough for today.

You can go home.

You can use this. I'll wash it later.

Come on, wash yourself, roll your trousers up.

Scrub your hands. Do you want more soap?

So they took it from our overtime?

I've got enough, 28 hours.

Or did they count it as normal leave?

I didn't check with Liana.

Regarding the hours?

I already had 48 hours, and I did 28 more.

So I don't know how they're going to count those three days of leave.

See you.

Take Cristina's vines, for instance.

I worked there for three years with Floricuța

and I don't want to do that any more!

Pitocu sent me to Filia so she would pay me...

She sent me back to him...

In the end, I never got paid.

I'd like to work on my vegetable patch. But if we're pruning the vines...

I'll find time to do it.

But I still have to buy some seeds in town.

That won't take long!

I prefer working on the land to going to the factory.

I don't like the factory. It's too hard.

Nothing but noise and stress!

I often think about leaving for good.

And if anyone's missing, it always falls on me.

They always move me around because I'm experienced.

I might just go and work abroad.

I can't do it any more.

I said to my boss:

“In two weeks, I'm giving my notice”.

They're taking people on in a textile factory in Sighişoara.

My sister-in-law Gabi, she quit, too.

She handed in her notice to go and work in Sighişoara.

- But they're three-month contracts. - And what do you do afterwards?

That's why I'd be better off going abroad.

I asked my cousin and my aunt to look after Andrei.

That way I could spend three months in Germany, then three months here.

Don't forget, at the factory you've got your length of service.

Apparently it counts abroad, too.

But anyway, Sighişoara would only be for three months!

For now, at least, I'm on a permanent contract.

But apparently they're going to lay people off.

Especially those who travel a long way. And for us it's 46 km!

In Sighişoara, we'd earn 1400 lei a month.

At the moment I earn 2000 lei,

because I work weekends.

Would you leave Andrei by himself?

Do I have any choice, Auntie Mărioara? I have to go.

Money's not worth anything around here.

Unless you wheel and deal.

You still need it.

- Come on, drink up! - I can't!

Did you do the stake, Titi?

Look.

Hey, have you finished yet?

No, what about you?

- We're almost done. - So are we.

Come and eat you bread, sweetie!

- Did you bring the food? - No, but I can go and fetch it.

- What? - I was going to go and get it.

Careful, or you'll catch fire.

- Is he scared of the fire? - Yes!

Hey, let it burn!

Come here, sweetie.

How much are you thinking of giving them?

- Who? - How much are you paying them?

We'll see when we've finished.

About 30 lei.

- 30 lei is all right, isn't it? - Yes, it's OK.

I can't give them any more.

There's more clothes.

Ghița, take something!

Papa, can you give me the bridle?

The bridle? What for, monkey?

- To play with. - Are you not coming to eat?

No!

All day long, hey, ho!

Let's go and eat, I'm tired.

- Hello? - Who is it?

How's it going, mate?

We're leaving the day after tomorrow at 1am.

I'll call you if I hear anything from the bloke with the van.

If I don't call, be ready at 1am.

OK, we'll see. I've got to go, I've got guests.

All right, bye.

- Was that Soghuru? - Which Soghuru?

- Marta's husband. - Ionica is going with him to Germany.

- Where? - Where I'm working.

- What does he do over there? - I'll make him ride the horses.

- They're putting up a stable.

- We're building a house.

- Is Danuț driving you? - Yes.

- Why don't you take the plane?

- I'd like to do it once.

- You'd never take the car again.

No.

- I should try it. - Just think, two hours!

50 or 60 euros, return.

Did you manage to find any shepherds in the end?

- Yes, Sile, but he can't decide.

- It's the same every year.

Plus, he never used to bring the sheep back to the water trough.

- I asked him to look after the sheep and he says, “Yes, I'll be there!”

And then in the end I hear he's going back to Germany with Surdu!

You can't rely on anyone.

- That's the problem.

- Does Mich still look after that guy's sheep?

- Whose sheep? - Mitica's sheep.

- No. He always goes to Germany without telling us.

I haven't heard from him in two years.

- He was good, though, wasn't he? - He was great!

- Everyone's off to Germany for work.

No one wants to tend sheep any more.

And you, Nicu, you'll end up selling your flock.

And you'll be off to Germany.

- Him? He'll never leave!

He doesn't even like hearing about it.

- Could you see me in Germany?

- You'd make 1000-1500 euros a month. - I'm doing OK here.

- You'd have no more worries. - You'd take Crina with you.

Take my husband. He sold his sheep.

- He spent all the money straight away.

- And when he comes back, he's more relaxed.

- Me, relaxed? - Aren't you?

You'll buy some more, won't you!

Paci!

We've got to take the sheep to Făget.

We'll take up the whole pasture.

- Do you know how to get to Făget? - Of course!

That way, isn't it?

If nobody's been up there, there'll be plenty of clover left.

Last summer, that was all the sheep would eat.

Everything's growing nicely here, don't you think?

I built a hut around here once.

- Can you hear the wolf howling? - Yes, it's going, “Feed me!”

Stay there.

I nearly caught a quail just here.

That time I was with you?

Yes, and later I did catch it.

Goats, sheep...

The only thing we're missing is an ass!

- You're the ass. - That's you! I'm the shepherd.

This is the life.

One day, we'll have our own flock.

If there's any sheep left by then!

You and me...

We'll buy a pasture.

- We've already got one. - Which one?

The field at the bottom. That's mine!

We could come through here, then go down that way.

Eight hectares!

- Then take them up to pasture. - After we've cut the hay!

You know the old barns? I've got another field there.

- Well, it's not mine. - It's your dad's!

He'll be dead by then.

We could buy some cows from Şefu

and some carts.

And hire Bogdi as a shepherd.

Pay him 100 lei a month.

- And look after Țoțea's goats. - Only if he pays us.

Oh, yeah, obviously!

And Lacatuş' goats, too.

We'd be in charge.

It'd be ours!

We could have it set up for milking.

- We'd be the bosses. - Yeah!

We'd come up just for the milking, then go home again.

No, we'd hire someone to do it.

- Two guys. - Who?

- Whoever. - And pay them 5 lei per milking.

- You go in. - No, you go.

I'm chatting with a girl.

- Give Luța the money.

- Get a beer and some juice.

- A beer? - How much is a beer?

- A beer for Paci and one for me.

- Which one? - Ciucaş.

- What's her name? - Did you tell her?

- Look! - Did you tell her?

- I haven't spoken to her since I came back from school.

- Easy, mate, it's not yours!

- That's my one. - Here you go!

- Which one does he want? - This one.

- Have you talked to her yet?

- Petronela. - The one we were talking about?

- Let's go to yours, your mum won't be back before midnight.

- When does she get home? - At 11pm.

- Dammit. - That's us screwed.

Marius!

Come here!

- Does he still work on your line? - Who, Neluțu?

No, he's quit and gone to Germany.

We had someone hand in their notice today as well.

- Did you decide to go to Sighişoara? - No, they didn't take me.

Gabi starts on Friday.

Where? No, she's not going.

They'd offered her the job. Then they called to tell her

she shouldn't have quit her job,

because they couldn't take her after all.

Did Ghița tell you?

They can't pay the transport for one person alone.

She told me she's going to stay at home.

Her children will give her the 200 lei for her bank loan.

Jonu's back next week.

She wants to see if she can go and work with him in Germany.

Leave the dog alone!

- I'm off, bon voyage! - OK, Titi.

- Don't forget to call me. - I won't.

Text me and I'll ring you back.

If I were you, I'd forget about it.

I still have to slaughter that lamb.

I just bumped into him and I forgot to ask him.

Who?

Dammit!

- Nicu? - Who else?

What are you going to do with the lamb?

- Take it to Germany. - And it has to be done tonight?

Yes!

Can't you do it yourself?

I don't really like doing it.

You should have taken it easy today.

Fat chance.

I don't even take it easy in winter.

I completely forgot about that lamb!

- What? - We have to slaughter the lamb.

Quickly, then, I haven't been home yet.

Do you have a knife?

Tell him to bring us a knife.

It's a big one.

How much does it weigh, do you think?

I've no idea.

Take the knife.

I'm sorry to see this one go.

It was the best one.

And I'm just giving it away. What a waste.

Have I got everything?

My identity card's in here.

Right then, let's go.

Call me.

- Are you ready, Ionica? - Ready.

You could have the world at your feet and your pockets full of money

But when the land calls for you, You'll always take the road home.

You can achieve anything in life

But don't leave it too late.

You must never forget, No one lives forever.

Hey, did you move away from your row?

Don't go all the way!

- Why aren't you at school? - I've repeated the year twice already.

- You failed again? - He's been excluded from school!

They've made him unemployed!

- No? - Yeah.

It's the dole for him!

- Did you go to the sheep? - I gave them some medicine.

- To the sheep? - Yes.

- Which medicine? - The square things.

- Did you make cheese with the old man? - Yes, with Urda and Țeț.

- What about Neagu's cheese? - I gave it to him on Monday morning.

- And I counted his sheep. - What?

- I counted his sheep. - Where they all there?

No, not all of them.

Who's responsible if some have gone missing?

You were the one who counted them, and some of them are missing,

so who's responsible?

I'm responsible.

You can't just leave them.

Nicu, look at this!

Fabi, take some wood inside.

Let the dog go, it'll bite you!

He'll get a shock off the fence!

It's electric!

I've touched it and I didn't get a shock.

It's switched on now, sweetie.

Alin! Leave that here!

Take that back for me. Quickly, Lenuța!

- Fabi! - What?

Bring me the broom.

Alin, leave the dog alone!

- Fabi, do as you're told! - What?

Take the wood inside!

Get away from there.

Bloody hell! Take the fork!

Leave them alone, or I'll give you a slap!

- Shall I throw it in? - Don't!

Go and help the others carry the wood.

- Hi. Where are you off to? - School.

I've got something to sort out.

He's had to repeat the year because of his grades.

Not because of his behaviour.

He doesn't come to school, he's always absent.

He's had poor marks and failed subjects.

I sent him to school, but because I work

I don't know what he gets up to.

Your child needs to go to school.

It's compulsory to do ten years at school in Romania.

- What's your view on this? - That's what I keep telling him.

You won't find a job unless you've done eight years of school.

You know very well that no one will hire you otherwise.

They told me we have to go to Sibiu to get him registered again.

I think you might have misunderstood.

You have to sign him up with the school office

and he can still catch up and pass

even if he has missed a month and a half of school.

There's no problem.

Which office, the one here in Mălâncrav?

No, the office is in Laslea.

- I'd like to get it done today. - You should be able to.

You can do it, but he cannot skip school again.

That's where all the problems start.

Your Lordship!

Will you help me get the ironing board out?

- Can't you do it? - Get the iron, then.

Come on, let's do it!

I've got some news.

I spoke with your form tutor.

If you want to go back to school we have to go to Laslea.

We'll go and talk to them.

But on one condition: no more skipping classes.

- Is that all right with you? - Yes.

- It's throwing it down. - And you want to go out!

They might be laying us off.

So you'll be staying at home!

Wouldn't that be nice, a week at home!

- What about the money? - We'll get 75% of our pay.

I might be staying home for good anyway.

They're going to cancel the shuttle buses

for those who live more than 30 or 40 km away.

We won't be able to take the bus to work any more.

I'm going to go abroad.

- You'll be home alone. - So what?

So what? It's no biggie...

You'd be happy here without your dear old mother?

Wouldn't you?

I'll be with my sheep when you're in Germany.

- I'll be with my sheep! - Are you for real?

School and the sheep? No way. It's one or the other.

You're still a child, you've got better things to do.

I've told you before.

If people want to have sheep, that's their business.

Either you get someone to tend them or you sell them.

You're not going near a sheep again!

It's for you that I go to work.

We may not have had a lot of opportunities

but I want it to be different for you.

A shepherd's life is not for you.

The rain, the cold. Who's going to look after you when you're ill?

I've finished.

Fabi, sit over there.

Leave Fabi alone, I'll get you some food.

- Do you remember the Lord's Prayer? - Our Father

who art in heaven

hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come.

Thy will be done

- As it is in Heaven... - No!

Lead us not into temptation

- but deliver us from evil, amen. - Amen.

Do you know how to make the sign of the cross?

Stop it.

Eat up. It's tasty, it's pork.

Is it from the piglet?

The one Fabian gave us, remember?

- When we will slaughter the pig? - When your father's back.

- What day is it? - Friday.

In September!

October, not September! He's coming soon, on Tuesday.

- When is it September? - It's already been. Eat up.

Look, Mum.

I don't want any more.

Sit up straight, Fabi!

Come on, one more mouthful.

Leave him alone, Alin.

Are you listening, Fabi?

You're always wasting food.

- Don't get all the way in! - Why not?

You're spilling water everywhere!

Mum, did Fabi wash all by himself?

No? Just me then?

Fabi! I did it all by myself!

- You want to wash yourself? - Give me your hand.

- Come on, sleepy time! - Sleepy time!

- How are you? - OK.

- What are you doing? - Nothing!

Ask him when he's coming home. Lie down!

Daddy?

- Are you home on Tuesday? - Yes.

- Stop playing the fool. - I leave Monday and arrive Tuesday.

- Stop it, Fabi. - Who gave them sweets?

Me. I bought a packet.

- How are you doing? - OK, and you?

Same old. I fed the animals

cleaned the stable, given them water.

The cow got out into the courtyard!

Lenuța and her friend came to help.

They brought some wood in. There wasn't much.

Another week gone.

Yep...

Alright, I'll say goodbye. I'm going to bed.

I've got this funny thing, same as I had under my arm.

It's in my back now and it really hurts.

Just under the bra strap.

- Say goodnight to your dad. - Night, night.

- Night, night, little ones! - Night, night.

Goodnight!

If you hadn't pushed me, he'd have got it wrong.

Hey, not on the body!

Go on, it was you.

Can you grab the cheesecloth?

Hold it like that.

Here.

- Number 5962,

5964,

and 4860. The cow we thought belonged to Mihuț.

- The black one with the markings?

- No, one of the brown ones.

- Did you pay back your bank loan? - Yes.

- We paid ours all back last year.

- It would've been hell otherwise.

- Nightmare!

- I've got a year left.

- Don't you want another one? - No!

- Yes, but only if the interest rates drop below 5%.

- What are the interest rates now? - 20%.

- 15, 17%?

Yes, at 17%.

I am at 18% now.

- I sleep easier if we don't have one.

- You could buy a press... - Oh, sure we can...

- A press for €2000 could solve your problems.

If you want to work efficiently, you need to buy some good tools.

- Everyone could do with better tools. - It's an investment.

Do as you please, it's your call.

- Listen, I was offered a job in Germany, are you interested?

- Germany? - Wherever, I'm there!

What about you? Can't you go?

- I've got all my animals.

- I can't leave them...

I'm staying put.

- Is my dad going to do it? - Do what?

- The job.

- Yes, to earn money. - You need it.

We'll get by here, with the animals.

- It's the right time, there's no hay for you to harvest.

- Yes, I'll go. - We'll work it out.

We'll sort out the dates and we'll see.

And when I'm back I'll make it up to you.

Hello. I'm calling about the advert for a retirement home carer.

- I live in Mălâncrav. - Yes.

I'd like to go to Austria or Germany

to be a carer for elderly people.

Have you worked abroad before?

I went with the factory. I only speak a little German.

- German? - Yes.

Wait a moment.

We run a language course.

It's every day until 5pm.

- What time does it start? - 8:30.

You'll have to come on Monday. The course has already started.

Otherwise it won't be worth it.

We won't be sending anyone after the 15th of the month.

- You're just in time. - All right.

Do the course for two or three weeks and then you can go in November.

Otherwise it'll be in the new year.

All right, thank you. Goodbye.

- Well? - I'll have to stop work

and do a German course for three or four weeks.

But they won't send the next group before January.

They're not hiring anyone else because it's nearly the end of the year.

You'll be all right at home all by yourself?

It's for six weeks at a time.

The pay's not as good as I heard.

It works out at less than €1000.

- Hi. Shall we go up to the sheep? - Yeah, let's go.

When Culea heard it was her calling me

he listened to our whole conversation!

We talked for three hours.

She told me she wants to come to mine.

Take her to see the sheep!

I told her it's not possible.

If you bring her, Culea could see her!

She told me,

“I'd like to go as far away as possible.”

“What's up with you?”, I asked her.

She said if not, she'd go to Germany.

“Go on, it's not forever!

Go, because I'll be going too!”

Take the sheep all the way up!

Yeah!

Hey, Țeț!

Your sheep are getting mixed up with mine!

Fabi! Stop hitting him!

What are you doing, Fabi?

Is it your daddy?

Did you see him in the car?

Let's go and see. Wait, it's reversing.

It's not him.

- Who's that, then? - Daddy?

- My boys!

- He said, “Is it Daddy?”

- I'll unpack first, then we can spend all our time together.

- What did you buy for me?

- Come with me, I'll show you.

Careful with that!

Take this!

- What's in there?

Daddy, when are you going back to Germany?

- I'm not going back to that job.

It'll be a while before I leave again.

- You're home then, son!

- Hi, Mum.

- Where's the bike?

- Dad, tell me, where is it? - Over there, buddy.

Did you make stuffed cabbage?

I'd love some.

- I'll just wash my hands. - We're almost out of water.

- Is the horse outside?

- She's in the garden.

- Why don't you leave her in the stable?

- She gets out all the time. - Into the yard.

Did you see her?

She's got big, hasn't she?

Come here, Alin.

- Are you eating with me?

The women haven't served us.

Here, have some tea.

Careful, it's hot.

Did you miss me, big man? Very much?

- I'm going to give the cows something to drink.

- Tell me, did you miss me? - Yes!

- I'm here now. - We can play together.

- Then you're going again? - Yes, but not for a while, big man.

- And when I'm grown up I'll be the one who goes to Germany?

- Yes, it'll be you who goes and I'll stay at home.

- That's what I said.

- Will you give me some money when you go to work?

Move up a bit.

Have you eaten?

- When? - I had some stuffed cabbage.

- What were you looking for?

My little monkey!

Stop! Just here is fine.

A bit of patience, mate!

All that wool...

Before, all that wool paid for a car or two.

That's right!

Nowadays, no one wants it any more.

When are you leaving again?

In three weeks...

Andrei!

- Should I go and help Gicuța? - I don't know.

- He's taking them for a drink? - I think so.

- What? - I think so, yes.

Doesn't he need help?

I don't know.

Look, the sheep are up there.

He didn't say anything to me.

I don't know. Go and see.

Are you leaving me by myself tonight?

Why not, you're used to it!

You're not happy when I leave you by yourselves.

- It was a good day with the sheep. - Was it?

- Is there any grass left? - Yes, they didn't stop grazing.

- They're good sheep. - It's good grass.

Especially over by Crip where there's lots of clover.

Over by the water troughs?

They didn't take any water, though. Did they drink later?

Yes.

- Is there no water left? - Yes, but not enough.

It's tough when there's no rain.

There's not enough grass left but there's plenty of sheep.

Is it working?

Hello. How are you, my darling?

Why isn't the camera working?

I don't know which button to push.

Press the green one!

I can't see the button.

- Ah, I've pressed it. Better? - Yes.

- How are you, my darling? - I'm at home.

- Have you eaten? Are you well? - Yes.

When are you back?

February 2nd, but it's not certain!

Only on the 2nd?

- What? - Only the 2nd?

Maybe.

What?

Are you crying again?

I'm sorry I've left you alone for so long.

It doesn't matter, it's done now.

Come on, get up, Fabi!

Come on, sweetie, get up!

Leave him alone, don't tickle him!

Mummy, are we going on a trip?

What trip, darling?

Come on, Fabi.

Here's your jumper.

Leave him, Alin! Trousers.

Come on, Alin!

Do you want to use the swing?

Crikey, didn't you have anything better to do?

Lift up your leg, Stela.

Stela, lift up your leg!

Fabi! Bring me the knife. Look at me!

- What's it for? - To get rid of the steam.

Not a bad little flock!

Let's go up!

Right, I'm not going any higher.

I'll take them over there.

Go past Sile's, otherwise it'll be difficult.

Don't worry, I'll take them that way.

I've got to watch them, or they'll scatter like goats.

Alina!

- Alina! - Yes.

- Bring a tarp! - OK.

- You've not brought the pitchfork? - But you said:

“Bring a tarp!”

“And take the rake!”

First you told me to fetch a rake and a pitchfork.

Then you said we didn't need them any more.

If you speak to me like that again, I'm off!

- You want to leave? - Yes, I do!

Fair enough!

Right, rake a bit over there!

You do the hay, while I take them out.

You'll give them some sedge, won't you?

- What for? - For the cows.

- What's the hay for, then? - Give them some of that, too.

Do what you want.

Stay here, where are you going?

It's difficult. If they don't go

they'll starve. They don't have a choice.

They have to go.

Don't worry, they won't starve.

But it's no life, Alina!

Yes, OK, if you want to renovate your house...

- Do what? With these salaries? - No way!

No one in Romania is starving.

No, but it's really tough.

Is anyone starving? OK, there's social security.

True, you can get benefits. And there are still jobs.

If you want to work, you can find a job.

Having said that, it's only enough to scrape by

but not enough to replace a door or some equipment.

You're not starving, are you?

What did he say? “I'm not going back?”

Is that his plan?

- He should stay home. - Has he had enough?

These idiots, there's three of them,

they want him to take the bridles off the horses.

Take them off or put them on, I can't remember.

He told them he'd do it, but only if they paid him extra.

If they didn't pay, he wouldn't do it.

The German wasn't happy. They argued about it.

- He's not paid to do it. - He's right, let them do it.

If you had to do 50 bridles, it would take all night!

He should have said, “I'll do it, but give me one euro more”.

"You're paying me to take the horses out"

"to feed them and clean the stable"

"but not to take off or put on the bridles."

He's never made even a token gesture.

For all the Christmases and Easters that Ionica's spent there

he's never said, “Here's some chocolates for your family back home”.

For God's sake!

And did they sort it out in the end?

He didn't do the bridles. The German ended up doing them.

Is that really what he did?

- Amazing! - He told him he was leaving.

He asked for his pay packet.

He told him:

“Look for someone else, I'm going”.

He's not answering. Probably in the shower.

- Can you hear me? - I can hear you.

- How are you? - OK.

Did you have a shower?

Yes, I cut my hair and had a wash.

That's good.

Ready for all the girls!

Too right!

I called you a few times.

I thought you must be taking a shower.

Do you want some good news?

Go on then.

The wheel bearing on the car is broken.

How did that happen?

How do I know?

And the brake pads!

It makes a funny noise when I brake

and the warning light

on the dashboard comes on.

I don't know.

Everything's falling apart.

The tractor's broken, the car's broken...

I earned some money

giving people lifts.

I managed to save enough money

to pay for a bearing and some brake pads.

I made so many journeys

I can afford a wheel bearing.

Yes...

How's it going with your boss, anyway?

- I haven't seen him. - Doesn't he come by any more?

He takes it easy and I do all the work.

He didn't say anything?

A servant is not greater

than his master.

What else can you say?

We just don't see eye to eye.

Once you've got your pay, and you're back home,

you can tell him to find someone else.

“I”m not coming back, I'm staying at home.”

Maybe I'll stay another year. We'll see.

You said you wouldn't go back, that you've had enough.

We'll see.

Are you glad I'm back?

You look cosy by the fire.

You are covered in spots.

I could eat you up, my handsome boy.

You missed me, didn't you?

- Was it tough? - It was hard being home alone.

Alone in the evening and all day.

Did you cry?

Your wrists are very thin.

This bit used to be bigger.

You've lost weight as well. All those bad habits while I was away.

See what happens when your mum isn't around...

Yes.

I missed you lots, as well.

- Are there any eggs left? - No.

- Have you eaten them all? - I made some schnitzels.

I made an omelette and some fried potatoes.

I'll buy you a packet of chips

and a fryer, you can just do them in there.

I'll show you how I do potatoes.

So, tomorrow when you get back from school, you can make dinner.

It's always me who does it.

- You'll see, they taste great. - Better than mine?

Oh, yes.

There's no more bread.

- We'll buy some. - I gave the leftovers to the dog.

- To Ursu? - Yes, have you seen him?

- Have you got a new dog? - No, it's Ursu!

I showed your sheep to the old man in Austria.

And the dog.

We went to feed the chickens. He kept going, “cluck-cluck”.

And he kept crows.

He was using their eggs as a treatment.

It sounded like he was barking.

We laughed and cried together.

It was heart-wrenching with him.

Were you there when he died?

- He was old. - I went, “Grandpa, Grandpa”.

And he held my hand.

He had this plastic bottle covered in rubber

that you filled with boiling water to keep his feet warm.

At least his feet were warm, poor thing.

He took my hand and held it to his face, and cried.

I was crying as well.

In two weeks, I'm going back and you'll be on your own again.
