METAMORPHOSIS

Gregory!

Gregory!

Mum, dad, Gregory's arrived!

Gregory's arrived!

Bravo!

Come on, dad!

Sleep...

Sleep...

Let's go to sleep...

How do you do it, I don't understand...

Let's go to sleep, kids!

Good night mum, good night dad! Good night...

Go to sleep, Gregory, you'll have to get up early!

Sleep, sleep, sleep...

Good night, Gregory!

Good night! Greta...

You know what?

What?

Next year I'll definitely try to enroll you in the conservatory

Good night...

Waking up one morning after a bad dream,

Gregory Zamza woke to up to find himself transformed into a terrifying insect

Gregory! It's already seven o'clock. Didn't you want to get going?

Thanks, mum, I already...

Thanks mum!

Gregory!

Do you feel unwell? Can I help?

I'm... Already... Ready...

Mum, dad...

Good morning, chief clerk.

I'm sorry, something fell down over there...

Hi, we are just... Just a second!

Gregory... Chief clerk is here...

Gregory, open up! What's wrong?

The chief clerk is asking why didn't you take the morning train...

Good morning, Mr. Zamza!

He doesn't feel well. Otherwise he wouldn't be late...

He only thinks about the company!

He spends all evenings at home

The only hobby he's got is making picture frames

It only takes one evening or two... Those frames are so beautiful!

Yes, beautiful... You'll see when he opens door... And he'll open up!

If you didn't come in, he wouldn't open... He's so stubborn!

And probably he's feeling unwell!

I'm sure that's the explanation! However, fortunately or unfortunately,

we, business people, sometimes have to overcome an illness

Gregory! Open up! Open up now!

Mum, dad...

What's the problem Mr. Zamza?

You've shut yourself in your room and are avoiding responsibility

from your duties in the most unimaginable way!

I am speaking now on the behalf of your parents and owner

and I'm asking you to explain yourself!

Your efforts lately have been unsatisfactory!

Unsatisfactory!

Have mercy on my parents...

Call the doctor... Handyman... Anna!

Get the doctor, now!

He's... opening... the door!

So he didn't want eat, huh?

What on earth is he doing!

Dad, keep it quiet... Come down... No I won't! I won't be quiet!

Sorry, I got so used to them...

Don't worry...

Here is some...

No, please, it's alright, you'll need it yourself now

I understand...

That's it, thank you...

I was that small when I first came, and now...

You can be sure I won't tell anyone...

Goodbye!

How's he?

Everything's good... Bon appetit mum, bon appetit dad.

I have to see him, you can't stop me...

Mum, don't, I'll do it myself

Why don't you understand, it's my poor son...

Sure, you will...

Just don't you worry!

It's so dirty...

Quiet, quiet...

You promised me

He's not going to like it, the table, he liked it so much...

He doesn't need it anymore

And the chest...

And the chest too, he needs a lot of space now

Oh yeah, the space...

See how spacious it is now! I'm sure he's grateful.

That is, if he's at all...

And why that?

He's walking here too now!

Mum, let's go get some rest now...

Mum, wait...

Gregory!

Mum fainted!

It's all Gregory's fault!

I told you, you women never listen...

Please, don't!

Please stop it dad, don't kill him!

Today I've talked to the owner of the shop downstairs

He's very nice, we'll go there together

If everything works out, it'll be great

We'll rent out the room, get a new housemaid

We'll charge them for breakfast and supper...

Thank you, please come again!

Getting used to it, huh?

That's good, that's great!

The shop window should never be empty The owner is happy with you

And the customers like you, and not just the customers...

Quiet, quiet! Get on with it...

It's not clean here, it shouldn't be like that

I asked you...

I'm sorry, I'll take care of it!

There's a no rug under my bed, they've got it and I don't!

I'll put it there, don't you worry!

Are you coming down for supper?

Yes, we will, at seven o'clock

Goodbye! Goodbye

When they come in, everything should...

Oh please...

How's our little pest?

Oh you cockroach!

Oh you little insect, come out now!

Come on, come on, show us!

Come on, come on now, get up!

That's it...

If the gentlemen don't like the music, it can be stopped now!

Why not, let the lady play...

No, that's it, we're leaving...

Please, don't...

This can't go on

It'll kill us all

You're not Gregory

If this was my brother, he'd understand that we can't live with this monster!

He'd leave... Get the hell out! Out!

Oh you cockroach!

My little insect...

It's dead, you hear me, dead...

They left the flat together, which they haven't done in a while

And took the countryside train

The carriage was bright and full of warm sun

Mr. And Mrs. Zamza seeing their daughter so full of life

Thought how pretty she's become despite all that's happened

And that maybe it's time to find the right husband for her...
