The handle remains...

This one.

And this one.

And this one.

And maybe also this one.

Anything else?

I see that the number is
even now

so maybe one more
to make it uneven.

Okay, maybe this one?

Great.

It’s for my girlfriend.

I love her very much
and I want her to know it.

She’s a lucky girl, Jan.

She has a boyfriend who
thinks about her.

Isn’t it too small now?

No.

It’s good.

Beautiful.

I hope she likes it.

She’ll like it for sure.

Thanks!

Nel had inherited the
flower shop from her mother.

She had worked there
since she was sixteen.

She had always been moved by
the fleeting beauty of flowers

but she didn’t like to work

and took breaks
whenever possible.

Nel smoked
to suppress her appetite

but still dreamt of pastries.

Hey!

Hi sister.

Here.

– What is it?

Apricot bun.

Really?

You know I was just sitting here
thinking

I’d like to eat an apricot bun?

Guess who I met.

I don’t know. Who?

Guess.

Iga Świątek?

No. Ula.

Seriously?

Where?

At the bakery.

Did you talk?

No.

We just said hello.

Nelka?

Is everything alright?

Yes, I’m just having
a really strange day today.

The morning flight
from London to Warsaw

had been delayed.

Bethany had slept on the
plane.

She had a dream about a train

that kept speeding up but
wouldn’t crash.

Rob looked out the window

and wondered what he’d do
if the plane’s engine failed.

It's not
working.

It's 1-3-Key-3-1-3-5.

Yeah, that's what I
did.

You sure?

Rob...

Right. Let me check the
email.

Okay. Right.

1-3-Key-3-1-5-5.

Okay.

Got it.

It says there's a lock box on
the wall with the keys.

It’s this, right?

Yeah, I think that's it.
Yeah.

So, we’re in apartment 13.

Does it say what floor
we’re on?

...No.

Okay, because none
of these doors

have numbers on them.

Is this it?

No.

Maybe it's this one?

Yeah.

Yep. Here we go.

Oh. Not bad.

– Not bad.

This is great.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Looks like the pictures, more or
less.

Yeah, this looks great.

I’m so happy to be here with
you.

Me too.

I love you, Bethany.

I love you, too.

You okay?

Yeah, no. I’m just, uh...

I hit a wall.

Just stress or I don’t know,
packing late or something.

Yeah, it’s okay, babe.

Yeah, I think I just need to lie
down, have a quick nap.

Yeah, that’s fine.

Want to come with?

You know, I think I'm going to
go and explore actually.

You sure?

Yeah, I'm just, I’m not tired.

Okay.

You excited to be back?

Yeah, maybe that's it.

Yeah.

Okay.

Don't go too far.

And when I'm up, I'd love for
you to show me

all around Warsaw, Poland.

Alright?

Okay, babe.

Okay.

This was
Bethany’s fifth trip to Warsaw

and the first time since being
in a relationship with Rob.

She was sad the old trains and
trams

had been updated with new
ones

but was happy when
the screeching wheels

sounded the same.

Nel used to commute
to work on the number 4 tram

but after moving,
she was able to walk home.

She would listen to DJ mixes
from the Berlin techno scene.

GOOD TO SEE YOU IN WARSAW

Bethany had never seen
Nel wear pink socks.

Nel usually dressed in black.

Bethany joked that Nel
dressed for a funeral.

Nel joked that Bethany
dressed for a slumber party.

When they last saw each other,

Bethany promised to call every
week.

She didn’t call once.

– Hello?

– Hi.

– What’s up?

– Etna erupted.

ANOTHER ETNA ERUPTION.
FLIGHTS SUSPENDED

– And?

– And...

I’m thinking about Bethany.

– Nel...

– What?

– Honestly, you know
what I think about all of it.

It’s a bit self-centered.

– Okay.

Listen, I have to go now.
Bye bye.

– Bye bye.

Hi.

Hi.

Surprised?

Mhmm.

I thought your sister would
have told you.

Guess who I met.

She hasn’t told me.
How did you get in here?

I remember the door code.

When did you get back?

This morning.

– It was a quick decision. Work
related.

You got a new job?
– No. Same job.

Do you want to go to the
theater with me?

Wednesday at 7pm.

To see what?

Shakespeare.

Okay.

– Okay?

Cool.

You want to come in?

I can’t. I have to go to work
in the morning.

Right.

Goodnight then.

Goodnight.

That night, Nel had a
dream about two cats

fighting over a golden bell.

The bell rolled away
and disappeared down a drain

but the cats didn’t stop
fighting.

It really is
beautiful.

I didn't expect Warsaw to be so
green.

“Dziękuję.”

“Dziękuję.”

“Dziękuję.”

“Dziękuję.”

“Dzię-KU-ję.”

“Dziękuję.”

“Dziękuję.”

And how do you say “you're
welcome”?

“Nie ma za co.”

“Nie ma za co.”

And I love you?

“Kocham cię.”

“Kocham cię.”

“Kocham cię.”

“Dziękuję.”

“Nie ma za co.”

– Hey, babe.

- Hey.
- Got you a coffee.

Cheers. Thanks.

Do you like it here or you
wanna find another spot?

Let’s walk.

Yeah.

The ring had
belonged

to Rob’s grandmother.

It was given to him
by his father.

He already had it
resized for Bethany.

For three months, he had been
planning to propose.

He had a location in mind

that contained both magic and
stability.

NATIONAL MUSEUM

Bethany had studied
19th century art in school.

She liked how it combined
historical events

with mythological allegories.

She graduated with First-Class
Honours.

Are you having
a good day?

Yeah.

In Warsaw, Poland.

Yes.

Is it as romantic as you
remembered?

Did I say that?

You said it was more romantic
than Paris...

The city of love.

In Paris, there’s just so much
expectation to be romantic

that it just isn't romantic
anymore.

Like, everyone's seen
the Eiffel Tower,

But...

Not everyone’s sat on that
bench...

Or...

Looked at some random
painting.

Beauty in a bench.

That’s what I love about you.

We might have an issue.

Seems our flight's been
canceled.

Why has it been cancelled?

Volcanic ash.

Mount Etna erupted yesterday
in Italy.

Air travel has been suspended
over the next 72 hours.

I guess we'll have to
reschedule.

Here’s to more time in Warsaw,
Poland.

Yeah.

Rob had
planned

to propose that evening at
sunset

but decided to propose the
next day instead.

CUTE LITTLE FLOWER SHOP

– Wait!

Wait!

Wait!

What is it, Jan?

I need more flowers.

Here.

– No, no, no, no!

It has to be the same as before.
It’s her favorite.

– I already closed. I’m sorry,
Jan.

– But you’re supposed to be
open until 6!

– I really have to go back
home. I had a very strange day.

– But you don’t understand.
I ruined everything.

Her flight got cancelled
and I wasn’t home.

If I was there, she’d make it.

– And what?

– And if I was there, she might
have made it for another flight.

I don’t think you did anything
wrong.

But I did. I always fuck up.

I’m sure it’s not true.

It is!

Jan...

It seems like you don’t
need more flowers,

but a new girlfriend.

What? Are you kidding me?

She’s perfect!

A new pedestrian
and bicycle bridge

had opened earlier that year.

It had quickly become Nel’s
favorite place

to spend time alone.

Sometimes she listened to
music.

Sometimes she didn’t.

I need to drink
more water tomorrow.

The flight’s rescheduled.

The rental’s extended.

Amazing.

Is anything on your mind?

No.

Did you enjoy today?

Mmhmm.

Just wait till you see what I've
got planned for us tomorrow.

I can’t wait.

Good night.

Good night.

Nel!

Can I come up?

You think it’s so
funny

that you’re standing under my
balcony?

It’s not Romeo and Juliet.

I don't
understand

a single thing you're saying.

You understand.

My boyfriend’s
gonna propose.

Your boyfriend?

Tomorrow.

So why are you here?

Mount Etna erupted yesterday.

And when exactly did you
arrive?

Yesterday.

Can I come up?

Okay, go to the gate
and type 4-Key-8-2-1-2.

Door on the right.

The door’s open.

So you are getting engaged...

I don't know.

That's why I came.

And, who is your boyfriend?

Rob.

Rob?

We live together in London.

I found the ring around a month
ago,

and

I knew he was going to ask me
soon because

he suggested we go to Paris

and I said, “what about
Warsaw?”

The thing is that with him,

the earth doesn't shake

and

volcanoes don't erupt.

You look the same.

And you look different.

Bethany
had first met Nel 16 years prior

when Bethany entered
Nel’s flower shop

and asked for
a flower recommendation.

Nel asked who it was for.

Bethany said it was for herself

so Nel gave her a bouquet of
tulips for free.

They had been close ever
since.

They usually talked about
reality dating shows

and debated which couples
would stay together.

Nel didn’t bring up that
Bethany had never called.

Bethany didn’t bring it up
either.

They stayed out partying
until 6am.

Bethany?

Bethany?

Morning.

– Morning.

How’d you sleep, love?

Good. Yeah. You?

Like a rock.

Good.

I have a big day planned for us.

But I know you don't like
surprises

and I don't want to
overwhelm you

so I am going to reveal them
to you

one at a time.

Okay?

– Shall I tell you now?

Please?

First up,

professional massage.

Great.

– I'll be back in
five minutes.

Make yourself comfortable.

Hi.

Getting a massage.

Yes.

I did.

I don't know.

Will you?

I will.

Okay, bye.

Who was that?

A friend in Warsaw.

Nice.

After our massages we’re going
to get some sushi, darling.

Mhmm.

You look nice.

Thank you.

You visited L.J. before we
left. How’s she holding up?

Kind of rough, actually.

The labor was really long and
intense.

Is the baby healthy?

What's her name again?

Her name’s Greta.

And yeah, she's okay.

There are a few complications,
but nothing major.

Charles isn’t handling it
well, though.

Oh no...

Excuse me.

You're British?

Yeah.

Thought so.

I, um...

It's nice to hear English.

It is, yeah.

You're American?

Mhmm.

What are you doing in Warsaw?

I am...

painting.

I'm an artist.

Oh, cool.

We just went to the National
Museum yesterday.

Yeah. What did you think?

I loved it. I love 19th century
art.

Oh my, then you have to go by
the National Gallery.

It's amazing!

Yes, Zacheta.

We're familiar.

Zachęta.

What kind of
paintings do you make?

All sorts.

Come by my studio today.
I'm throwing a party.

Oh, cool.

Yeah, it's just me and
some of my Polish friends.

That sounds fun.

That sounds fun, right?

Yeah?

Yeah, sure.

If we could find the time.

Yeah, let's make the
time.

Okay.

Great.

Great.

Would you like me
to reveal the next surprise?

Why not?

I got us reservations
at Kieliszki na Próżnej.

Oh. Cute.

Do you know of it?

Never heard of it.

Well, it's supposed to be
excellent.

It's from the Michelin Guide.

So we’ll pop into the party,
say hello and be on our way?

Sounds like a plan!

Claude’s art
studio

was just next to the Palace of
Culture.

He hosted parties once a week

to get feedback
on his paintings.

He had met many
new people this way.

Hi.

Hi.

- These are my friends.
- Hey.

- I’m Bethany. Hi.
- Nice to meet you.

- Bethany, hey.
- I'm Kuba. Nice to meet you.

Bethany is an old friend of
mine.

- Oh really?
- Mhmm.

What are you doing here?

What are you doing here,
Bethany?

Uhh...

I met Claude at sushi earlier.

Just like that?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

Coincidence, I
guess?

So, what are you doing
tonight?

Are you partying?

– Five.

– Nine.

One.

Two.

Eight.

– Five.

– Six.

– Six.

Seven.

Eight.

I think that
a lot of the work that I do

comes from

come from this space,
this space of being,

immersed in a culture that's so
different from my own,

it helps me turn my brain off, right?

And so when my brain is turned
off,

I can enter into a dream state
more, more naturally.

I'm trying to come up with the
title.

Nel had
liked Claude

because he was American.

Claude had liked Nel

because her name was easy to
pronounce.

Hey, babe.

Hey! Love, uh...

How much longer do you want
to stay?

You know, I've got reservations
at 9:30.

Babe. Reservations? Let's just
have fun!

Hi, Rob.

Rob had
spent five hours

researching the best
restaurants in Warsaw.

He made the reservation
three weeks in advance.

He had been excited for
Bethany

to try the cod fish croquettes.

Hi, it's
Bethany. Leave a message.

Hi love. I stepped out for
a moment.

I just needed to clear my head.

I’m back at the party now, and I
don't see you anywhere.

Let me know, okay? Bye.

Hi, it's Bethany.
Leave a message.

Hi, love.

Again, I'm sorry I stepped
away.

I may have been a bit dramatic.

I’m wondering where you are...

Okay, bye.

Hi, it's Bethany.
Leave a message.

Hi, love.

The party ended and I've left.

My plan is to head home and
hopefully I'll see you there.

I’m really struggling with this
right now.

Please call me.

And let me know you’re okay.

Bethany?

Bethany
and Nel had left Claude’s

to go to a club.

They did a lot of drugs
and danced with strangers

then took turns reciting poetry
until the sun came up.

Morning.

Morning.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Do you want some coffee?

So who’s the girl in
the pictures?

It's Ula.

Who’s Ula?

A friend.

She still around?

Yes.

That a good thing?

I don't know.

Let's go somewhere.

I can’t.

I have to open the flower shop.

Do you really though?

Claude had
been subletting

from a friend for six months.

Before that, he had
spent a year in Porto.

He was not picky
about where he lived

as long as it had a view.

Wait, so, you knew
each other before my party?

That's crazy.

That's crazy!

You know what's crazy?

Every time we get together,

crazy coincidences happen.

Okay? Like what?

A volcano erupts.

Excuse me,
I don't think I'm following.

So, the first time we
met,

that volcano in Iceland erupted.

I was 16 and I was
here on a school trip,

and the volcano erupted so I
got stuck here for a month.

It was amazing.

Yeah, and it was so dark
all the time

because of all the ash in the
sky.

Damn. Okay.

Then we saw each
other again around a year later

And that volcano in Chile
erupted.

Uhh, Cordón Caulle?

Cordón Caulle.

And after that, it was
the Wolf in Ecuador

and Taal in the Philippines.

So, did something happen this
time or...

Etna two days ago.

So...

you're saying you’re like
magic?

We like to joke that we're
making it happen.

Mmm.

What's the joke?

Volcanoes kill people.

Rob's calling.

Just let it go to voicemail.

Okay, so, what is the
problem with Rob?

I told you.

No volcanos.

No magical coincidences.

But does he treat you nice?

Yeah. I mean,

he's really nice.

Sometimes nice is nice.

Yeah, but sometimes nice is
boring.

Do you ever think
about leaving Warsaw?

I thought about it

but I love Poland

so I could leave but I would
come back.

You should think about leaving.

It can be a really positive
experience.

Yeah, I will think about it.

Hey, what’s up?

I came by earlier
and you weren’t here

and now it’s locked.

Is something going on?

Nothing is going on.

Hi.

Hi, Maja.

Good to see you again.

Yeah. You too.

Do you need
something?

No. I’m just wondering if
everything is okay.

Everything is okay.

Call me later.

Sure.

Okay.

– Bye then.

– Bye.

This was the third
time Maja had seen Bethany.

The first time, they went to a
museum.

Maja was 11 years old.

The second time, they barely
spoke.

Maja was 17 years old

and Bethany was going
through a breakup.

Okay.

This is the last one.

Maybe it's the last
one.

No, no, it's the last one.

Okay. We'll see if it's
the last one.

On three, we’re
gonna drink.

Okay?

One, two, three, drink.

What's up with that guy?

It’s this guy. His name is Jan.

Hey, Jan!

What's wrong?

What?

She’s asking if everything is
okay.

Leave me alone.

Janek, dear. You can tell us.

My girlfriend left me.

My heart’s broken.

It's over.

What's he saying?

Uh, he's saying his
girlfriend had dumped him,

His heart is broken
and it is the end.

Aw...

Tell him “It's okay

and there's going to be plenty
more coming his way.”

She says ”Don’t
worry.

There’s plenty of fish in the
sea.”

Great. Thanks.
Really awesome advice.

What’s he say now?

– He says, “Thank you very
much.”

You’re welcome!

So

can I stay at yours again
tonight?

Of course you can.

One more?

This is the last one!

Maybe it's the last
one!

Hey.

What are you doing here?

I was in the neighborhood.

Really?

No.

What?

Nothing.

Where were you?

Where was I?

– I knew you’d forget.

– About what?

About Shakespeare.

– It was A Midsommer
Night’s Dream. Terribly boring.

– But the tickets were
expensive.

I could have
planned something else.

I didn't because I wanted to
spend this time with you.

But now I don’t.

Nothing to say?

Not now, okay?

– Because?

I can’t now.

You can’t now.

You.

– You can’t.

Because it’s always about
you, right?

I’m going to bed.

Nel usually watered
her plants on Tuesdays

but this week, she was
watering on Wednesday.

She hoped the plants wouldn’t
notice.

Hi, it’s
Bethany. Leave a message.

Rob and
Bethany had been living together

for almost a year.

Rob had wanted to adopt a dog

but Bethany said
their apartment was too small.

I had a
dream,

which was not all a dream.

The bright sun was
extinguish’d,

and the stars
Did wander darkling

in the eternal space,

Rayless

and pathless,

and the icy earth

Swung blind and blackening

in the moonless air;

Morn came, and went—

and came,

and brought no day,

And men forgot their passions
in the dread

Of this their desolation;

and all hearts
Were chill’d into a selfish prayer

for light:

And they did live by watchfires—

and the thrones,

The palaces of crowned
kings—

the huts,

the habitations of all things
which dwell,

Were burnt for beacons;

cities were consumed,

I'm gonna go to bed now.

– Hello?

– Hi.

– I’m sorry I didn’t call
yesterday.

– It’s fine.

– I figured you were busy.

– Bethany left.

– Good.

– What about Ula?

– She’s mad at me. I forgot
we had plans.

– Did you apologize?

– No. I don’t think so.

– Maybe you should.

– It’s cool when people
apologize.

Rob didn’t sleep well
that night.

He had a dream about Bethany
and his grandmother.

He didn’t remember the details.

– Bethany?

Hi, Claude. It’s Rob.

We met at the sushi restaurant
a couple of days ago,

and I came to your party.

Yeah...

Yeah, it's nice to see you.

Uh, may I come in for a
moment?

Sure.

- Yeah?
- Alright.

What's up?

Do you remember my girlfriend
from the other night, Bethany?

Yeah.

Do you know where she is?

Is something wrong?

No. No, she's okay.

Um...

It's just

well, we came to Warsaw to

well, for, um...

Had you been here
before?

She had.

But...

To be honest,

I was hoping this would be a
good place to propose.

Warsaw.

Yes.

She said it was romantic.

Not Krakow?

No.

No.

Warsaw,

Poland.

And...

everything was going well,
basically,

until we came to your party.

But then she became

cold and distant and

I know that I stepped out for a
moment to collect myself,

but I just can't seem to find the
reason

why she would behave this
way.

Have you met Nel?

Is that the, um, blonde woman?

Yeah.

No, no, I didn't meet her.

Although I saw that they were

enjoying each other's
company.

Hey, we were just
talking about you.

We?

I’m with Bethany's Rob.

He's looking for Bethany.

You want to bring him
here?

Where are you?

The flower shop.

Great.

See you soon.

Bye.

That's crazy.

– This kind of um,
synchronicity...

these coincidences...

I think that those are vestiges
of our youth.

Interesting.

It’s, um...

It's a way to make sense of the
world when you're a little kid

that they, for some reason, held
on to

maybe they need, like, therapy.

Maybe because they, um,

don't have religion. None of us
do.

You know, that's why all these
different cosmologies–

But she's never said anything
like this to me.

I mean,

listen.

I think there's a lot she hasn’t
said to you.

When we were 16,

Bethany came to Warsaw for a
school trip.

And while she was here,
a volcano erupted.

We said we did it.

And it became this joke we had
together.

Because every time we got
together, a volcano erupted.

We thought it was so fun.

We would go out.

We would ditch work.

We would cheat on our
partners.

And whoever we were dating
would find out.

Or we would get fired.

But we didn't care

because this volcano told us
that we are special.

But this isn't a joke.

Volcanoes do kill people.

And they cause so much
destruction

and they leave perfectly nice
boyfriends in the dust.

Rob, Bethany found the ring.

So, why bring me all the way to
Warsaw, Poland?

Because if she comes to
Warsaw, then a volcano erupts.

Okay, so a volcano
erupting

means you’re not accountable
for your actions.

Great.

This is where I was going to
propose.

Seemed nice in the pictures.

Do you want to see the ring?

Yeah.

It's great.

It's nice.

– Bye!

Just want you
to know

I’m not the kind of person who
has

big emotional explosions or
anything.

But I keep wondering if it
was me

who did something wrong.

No.

And basically, you just went
dancing?

Yes.

And she’s done this
before?

Mhmm.

Right.

This really isn’t about me.

So there is this girl.

Uh huh, what's her name?

Ula.

I like her.

She’s very nice.

It's good.

Yeah, we've been off and on for
a while.

She just got back to Warsaw.

Yeah? When?

On Sunday.

Sunday?

The day we arrived.

And the day Etna erupted.
Interesting.

Maybe Etna was Ula?

You know, I actually
looked it up.

There are fifteen hundred active
volcanoes on earth

and fifty to seventy of them
erupt each year.

That's basically one eruption
per week.

Really?

Yeah.

Okay.

When do you plan to see Ula
again?

I don't know. No plans at the
moment.

– Oh, you’ve got to have a
plan.

Why don't you take my
reservations

for lunch tomorrow?

I was supposed to surprise
Bethany.

Where?

It’s Opasly Tom?

Opasły Tom?

Yeah.

What?

That's where my first date with
Ula was.

That night,
Rob had a dream

about a mermaid and a
fisherman.

He didn’t remember the details.

Hi, it’s
Bethany. Leave a message.

Morn came, and went—

and came, and brought no day,

And men forgot their passions
in the dread

Of this their desolation;

and all hearts

Were chill’d into a selfish prayer
for light:

And they did live by
watchfires—

and the thrones,

The palaces of crowned
kings—

the huts,

the habitations of all things
which dwell,

Were burnt for beacons;

cities were consumed,

And men were gather'd round
their blazing homes

To look once more
into each other's face;

Happy were those who dwelt
within the eye

Of the volcanos,

and their mountain-torch:

A fearful hope
was all the world contain'd;

Forests were set on fire—

but hour by hour
They fell and faded—

and the crackling trunks
Extinguish'd with a crash—

and all was black.

– I’m not late.

Good job.

You look nice.

Thanks.

You too.

We go?

Mhm.

– Here you are. Baby
beetroot.

– Crayfish bisque.

Thank you.

Smells good.

Wait.

Before we begin, I would like to
thank you for seeing me.

Okay.

Is this a date?

Maybe. We’ll see.

I’m sorry, Ula.

– That I didn't respect your
time.

Your responsibilities.

And that I hurt you.

– Thanks for saying that.

And it’s nice that we’re here
again

because I wanted to come
anyway.

Shall we eat?

For dessert, Nel and
Ula shared the crème brûlée.

It was delicious.

Bethany spent a week traveling
around Poland

then returned to London.

She apologized to Rob

and moved back in
with her parents.
