Good for him.

At our age it’s not appropriate anymore.

Did you sleep?

Would be nice, I couldn’t sleep last night, I was worrying about leaving.

You saw how easy it was.

I’m so happy I left.

Just us girls.

Sometimes.

I just feel like leaving.

God, things are bad.

Do you mind if I stay inside today?

Really?

Yeah, I feel so weak.

What if I got a heatstroke?

You don’t have a fever.

I don’t, but I feel fatigued

Then I’m staying in with you.

Come on, it is what it is, go eat if you’re hungry.

I’m not hungry either.

You’re not hungry now, but you will be and you know I don’t usually eat dinner.

Look, I have some apples in my suitcase, I’ll eat one and I’m full.

I’m not leaving without you.

I’ve been alone for so long.

I don’t know any other way.

This dress looks great on you, it’s so beautiful.

Yes?

Looks like the one I was wearing to college, remember?

Is it that one?

How could it be?

You’re right, it would have been too old-fashioned.

But it looks so good on you.

Enjoy your meal.

PCC

Sorry?

PCC— Polenta with cheese and cream, right?

Yeah, true.

So you speak Romanian.

I do, I’m Romanian.

Ah, and you work here.

I’m helping a friend.

A sort of a friend.

Please enjoy your meal.

Thank you.

It’s on the house.

No, thank you.

You cannot leave, It’s pouring.

Ok, thank you.

Have you been here long?

Here?

No, I just got here.

The beach here is bad, it’s for the working-class.

You should see Tilenovo.

Unfortunately, I don’t drive.

If you want, I can recommend you a taxi driver,

He’s a friend of mine.

He has really good prices.

Sure, why not.

Thank you.

I’ll be right back.

Ok?

Do you like Fado?

I don’t know, it’s the first time I hear it.

I just got back from Portugal this spring.

Have you ever been?

You have to go.

It’s one of the most beautiful countries I’ve ever visited.

Do you travel a lot?

I do.

I’d travel all the time if I could.

Would you like to dance?

What is it?

Nothing.

I’m just tired.

I’d better go.

Don’t go.

Stay here.

I feel good with you.

It’s like I’ve known you forever.

But I’m old.

Maybe.

You know what you are.

You won’t look at me the same.

In the morning when you wake up,

You’ll want me gone.

‘Morning.

You didn’t go to the beach.

If I’m here.

Then I didn’t go.

Why are you upset?

A man came looking for you.

He said forgot your phone at his place yesterday evening.

Last night actually.

He said he’ll be at the restaurant.

A man?

Don’t you remember where you were last night?

He said his name was Ellia.

I thought I misheard, so I asked, Ilie?

And, overwhelmed, he replied, Ellia.

I said I’ll let her know, and he hung up.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

Do you know the guy from last night?

Ellia?

Your colleague.

Yes, i know him.

He is here?

No.

You lost telephone?

Yes.

Wait.

Thank you.

Welcome.

Hello.

Hello.

Do you look for Ellia?

He went to the beach.

You know when he is coming back?

I want to talk to him.

I can’t help you.

Do you know him well?

Yes, kind of.

Not really.

If i were you I wouldn’t trust him.

Hello mom.

Hi.

Hi mom.

How are you, darling?

What are you doing here?

I invited them, Laura.

Why?

You really scared us last night.

Cornelia called, she didn’t know where you are, she was going mad.

But she found me in the morning, didn’t she?

You worried us sick, mom.

Dad wanted to come too.

But I wouldn’t let him.

Ten minutes after we got here...

A guy came by.

Who?

A guy.

He was looking for you.

Look at her, she looks possessed.

Mom.

Mom.

Who the fuck is that?

Keep it down.

I don’t know what you’re talking about.

And it’s none of your business.

How is it not my business?

It’s just not.

Then whose is it?

What do I tell dad?

What does dad have to do with all of this?

Come on mom, did you loose your mind,

you just go to the seaside and that’s it?

Come on, Luci.

Stay out of this.

Don’t.

Just don’t.

And dad is in Bucharest.

He doesn’t say anything.

And he lets you come here and make a fool of yourself.

Please drop it.

I don’t have to answer to anybody.

Not even to your husband?

For the last 20 years he hasn’t been my husband.

Well, that is news.

So why are you still together?

What do you know?

You divorced.

You should’ve packed your bags and go your separate ways,

Not drag us into this.

What do you know?

We did it for you.

But you do know.

Anyway.

This is not the place to discuss this.

I sacrificed myself for you.

Ok mom.

Don’t you “mom” me. And please don’t call me that, I’m not your mother.

Really?

Yeah, really.

I’m the one who takes care of the child

on the weekends when you want to have fun.

Or any other time really.

Look, I’m out, it’s up to you.

But now you pack your bags, Cornelia’s are already in the trunk.

We wait for you and we all go back to Bucharest.

There, you’ll solve your problems as you know best.

I'm not getting involved.

For all I care.

You can even get married if that’s what you want.

Are you not ashamed to talk to me like that?

What did I ever do to you?

This is my only joy, to get away, travel.

That’s all I’ve got.

What’s wrong with that?

Are you guys carrying me on your shoulders?

You are losing your mind like this

You make a fool of yourself, Laura.

I was tossing and turning all night.

I wanted to sleep, she shows up,

starts making noise, and even takes a shower at 7 AM.

I felt like crying, how could I sleep?

Look at my haggard face.

Please Cornelia, leave it.

I though we were friends.

Exactly.

Hello.

Hello.

I have been looking for you at the restaurant and at home.

Yeah, I heard. Everything good?

Hey.

Hi

Can I help you?

No need, I came to talk with her.

Oh, so you’re good buddies?

She’s Mrs. Vasiliu and she’s my mother.

And that boy’s grandmother.

Ok.

Please let us talk.

Mom.

No need to talk, please.

Why are you meddling into our business?

Why? Because.

Just why?

Because you’re just a gigolo who fucks with old women’s heads.

Let’s go mom.

Please. Please don’t.

Dude.

Luci.

Leave my boy alone.

Let’s sing, darling.
