All language subtitles for Jowita (1967)

Hello. Yes.

What about the gun?

He took it himself,
nobody knew when.

He was like
a member of the family.

Who used to visit him?

Mr. Arens.

- l called you.
- That's why l came.

What a disaster!

He shot himself from Jozek's gun.

Jozek will go to jail now.

He was to become a lieutenant.

You weren't home last night.

l think l were.

He called you several times.

He was upset.

And said he needed you.

Were you his acquaintance?
A relative?

A friend.

A suite from
Lermontov's play ''Masquerade''

1. Waltz, 2. Nocturne, 3. Mazurka

l'm here.

You were looking for me,
weren't you?

For the whole evening.

- No.
- No? That's a shame.

Notjust the evening.

l was looking for you
for the whole...

For a very long time.

You're lying, Rodrigo.

No, l'm not, Julia.

Julia?

You're...

Julia.

Today.
What about tomorrow?.

But it happens.
You see somebody...

Suddenly, for a moment,
from a distance

And you know that
it is the person

you missed
without knowing him or her.

For the whole life.

lf it could just happen to us.

lt has just happened.

Let's go.

Can you see
Kosciuszko Mound from your window?.

l can see
all the mounds of the world.

Rodrigo,
l feel l could be happy with you.

Actually,
l don't know what happiness is.

But l'd like to find out.

Julia.

My name is Jowita.

l'm going to change now.

Wait for me
in front of the gate.

Get dressed, we'll make a test.

l'm not running today.

Success has turned your head, huh?

Why?.

l knew many competitors who

never stood
on the podium of winners

only because
they couldn't answer the easiest question.

And they became coaches?

l'm sorry.

Can you see this boy?.

We started this together.

Next year
he'll be better than you.

l have some time left then.

Marek

You have to take part in the memorial,
l got a letter.

You were interned
a long time ago.

You have to
get below your record!

What's wrong with you?

Nothing. l've got a toothache.

Then go to the dentist.

l can't, l'm afraid.

Master, l've got problems.

l'd never suspect you of it.

You'd never suspect me of what?.

Fine, what are your problems?

What have l done?

Nothing, l just said that.

You never say things
for no reason.

l always do so.

So what are
your problems exactly?.

l can't hit the beam.

Maybe l don't
measure steps properly.

Artur,
l want to talk to you.

Does Elizabeth study at the Academy?.

She says
she's at the third year.

l beg you,
ask her about the girl at the ball

dressed as a Turkish woman.

A Turkish woman, eastern style.

You can see
only her eyes through the costume.

Have you got 50 gr?

Wait.

Marek!

What are you doing here?

- l'm here coincidentally.
- Have a sit.

- Good evening.
- Good evening.

Will you come
to the jubilee on Saturday?.

l don't know.
l don't want to.

Come,
we won't talk about sport.

We have to go now.

Are you staying?.

And you?

Just a moment.

Goodbye.

lt's not her.

What will you do?

l've something to tell that one too.

- lt was so long ago.
- What?.

This.

What's new?.

l got married,
l live in Nowa Huta.

l'd like you to meet Andrzej,
he's your fan.

What are you thinking about?.

We were practically children
back then.

But everything
l told you was true.

l loved you and promised

l'd never love another woman.

l firmly believed it.

Terrible, isn't it?.

A man makes promises
he can't keep.

Poor me.

Were you disguised Eastern-style
at the ball?

Yes, why?.

Was anyone else
dressed in such a way?.

Maybe. What is it?.

You've got blue eyes.

You noticed?

l remembered.

You haven't changed a bit.

l'm glad l met you.

You were always
somewhere on my mind.

Shall l walk you home?

That would be nice.

Bill please.

Just a moment.

You have to wait.

Look at the pictures
from the contest.

- You're there.
- Right.

Look.

ls it this one?

No, it isn't her.

lt's hard to find
the one right away.

...scored a goal,
then Urbanski scored the second one.

Polczyn scored the third.

Then they had a break.

After the break...

How do l look?

Fantastic.

Who's there with Mirek?

l don't know,
she's from outside.

Do you like her?

No.

But l'll take her away
from him.

Are you mad?

Yes.

Because of me?

No, l've been mad
for a few days.

Why?.

That's none of your business.

Who are you?

l'm an engineer from Nowa Huta.

And a sports fan?

No, l don't care for sport.

So what are you doing here?

l like cutting paper

and dr Plucinski asked me
to make some decorations.

Dr Plucinski?

Yes, he's that fat hippo
dancing there.

He's the chairman of the club.

He's nice.

Now l have the right
to know who you are.

l'm an athlete.

That's the first time
in my life

l get a close look
at a real sportswoman.

There are lots of them here.

You belong to the club?

Yes, l'm a pole vaulter.

- How high do you jump?
- Sometimes 78 metres.

That's great,
l wouldn't even do 4.

You just have to
push yourself off the ground

and move legs in the air.

Just do it.

Agnieszka, look out!

Don't look so silly.
That's the first time

you dance with
a famous sportsman, huh?

What are you thinking about?.

l wonder who is who.

That's easy.

You're the famous sportsman

and l'm dr Plucinski's niece.

Butjust the same you could be

an engineer from Nowa Huta
and l'd be an athlete.

Don't you think
we should have a drink?

The wine is terrible here.

We'll find something better.

Marek.

Agnieszka.

But we've just met.

We may not want it later.

l fooled you with the story
of an engineer cutting paper!

No way!
l did the decorations myself.

- Did you go to the Cracow Academy?.
- l still do.

Did you go to
the last masquerade ball?

No.

Do you know a girl
who was disguised as a Turk?

l didn't care for it.

0h, wait.

l know now.

lt was Alina from Nowa Huta.

No, it wasn't her.

Do you happen to know Jowita?

0f course.
But she doesn't go there.

That's a strange story.

lt isn't strange at all,
l'll explain it to you.

Jowita is my best friend.

l don't care for her.

l didn't say you do.

Rodrigo!

How could you
left your girl like this?

l'm not Jowita.

Are you angry with me?

l don't care for Jowita.

Aren't you inviting me
for breakfast?.

You invited her.

Wait a minute.

You are Jowita.

You must have been drunk.

l've never been drunk.

lf you think l'm her,
you must have been drunk.

Didn't you notice
she speaks bad Polish?

l don't think l did.
ls she a foreigner?

She's Polish,
but her parents went to Australia

before the war,
she was born there.

She's my best friend.

l'm becoming very curious then.

Go away.

Look for your Jowita.

Agnieszka, are you there?

Agnieszka?

What?.

Nothing.

l'm glad you're here.

Jola, Jola, don't be so upset...

Don't sing off key!

- You changed.
- l went home.

And l boughtjam.

l love you.
How much was the jam?

Leave it to me.
l'll be able to remind you

that you invited me
for breakfast for which...

- You had to pay yourself.
- Right.

Get dressed.

0therwise
l won't eat with you.

l love you. What about you?

Do l look like a girl

you pick up at a party
and take home?

No.

Then don't ask such questions.
You're old-fashioned.

- Love is old-fashioned.
- You're old-fashioned.

Where do you keep spoons?

ln the drawer.

Agnieszka, answer the phone.

Mr. Arens' apartment.

He was to come today?.

0n Sunday?.

No, l'm not one
of his numerous lifelong lovers.

l'm from the gasworks.

We also work on Sundays.

Fine, l'll tell him.

Goodbye.

lt was Michal Podgorski,
my assistant on architecture.

Now l work at his studio.

He used to do discus throw.

What about your
numerous lifelong lovers?

He was joking.

- Was he?
- Yes.

What about Jowita?

She doesn't exist.

Who is he?

lt's Szymaniak.

He was my first coach
when l did boxing.

l thought
l could be a champion.

l finally gave it up.

Can you see this chain?

lt's the only memento
from that time.

l got it from Szymaniak
after my first boxer step.

Have you ever played
a dirty trick on somebody?.

A dirty trick?
What do you mean?

Something you remember

but you'd like it
to never happen.

Szymaniak took care of me

when l became independent
from my parents.

He helped me to find
my place in the world.

He was stubborn and persistent.

He did it selflessly.

His only interest was me
becoming a great boxer.

He thought l had a talent,
he believed in me.

Are you having
an interview for Sport Review?.

This... ''lady'' beside him

is Lola Fiat 1100.

A hooker you can find in Cracovia,

on the third bar stool
from the wall.

She was always near him

and when l left the club

she twisted him
around her little finger

and made him... shot himself.

He was looking for me
before it happened

but l didn't feel like
answering the phone

because l was with a girl

whose face
l don't even remember today.

When l finally got there,
it was too late.

Agnieszka,
are you listening to me?

Hold it.

You asked me
if l have ever done something

l remember but
would like to never happen.

l did.
0nce l met a boy

and slept with him
the same evening.

lt was the first time.

l wanted to die.
l wanted him to die.

So that nature
would take back what happened.

l felt sorry for him.

l thought he loved me.

He only pretended to do so.

Because he wanted to be gentle.

He was very careful
so he wouldn't hurt me.

His gentleness
made the situation worse.

Why am l telling you this?

l swear l'll never leave you

and you'll be
the last woman in my life.

l don't know why l thought

one could see Kosciuszko Mound
from your windows.

lt hurts.

0f course it does.

Do you know why l bit you?

How am l supposed to know?.

lt's because l bit you
for the first time

because l tell you
things l don't want to say

and l'm making a fool of myself.

- Are you going out?.
- l want to walk you.

You don't have to do this.
Bye.

Bye.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Have you seen Agnieszka?

No, but l think she was here.

Give me a cigarette.

Have you seen...

What?.

Hello.

- Hello.
- Are you going out?.

- Yes.
- That's a shame.

Yes, it is.
But l'm in a hurry.

- Goodbye.
- Bye.

EXHlBlTl0N PAVlLl0N

Sir?

l can lend you some money
if you need it.

No, thank you.

Can you give me Agnieszka's phone number?

l promised her, you know...

- Fine. 57713.
- 57713. Thank you very much.

Marek, you'll run for 1500 metres.

Fine.

Agnieszka went to Warsaw
to arrange her trip abroad.

What do you think?

That's very good
she's going abroad.

l'm asking about your opinion

on long distance running.

l've no opinion,
Ksiezak thinks for me.

Anyway, 57713?

Why are you
so indifferent about this?

A number is a number,
no need to make a fuss.

l'm talking about
the change of distance.

You can't make it.

l can run for 10 km,
a marathon, anything!.

You're in a bad mood.
Fortunately, l know you.

- 57713?
- 57713.

- Aren't you staying?.
- No, l'm not.

That's a shame.

Are you staying?.

No, l'm off.

Hello. Hello!

l'm sorry, wrong number.

Who do you want to talk to?

Nevermind.

Did you call a moment ago?

- Yes.
- Don't bother me anymore. Bye.

Agnieszka!

You were to go to Warsaw.

l'm going.
The train leaves in 30 minutes.

Attention,
the train from Cracow to Warsaw...

Will you leave
before the train sets off?.

Why?.

l don't like it
when the train leaves

and someone
is left at the station.

Someone?

You.

Are you angry that l called?

l was sad that you didn't.

You could have called me.

l could have. Goodbye.

- When are you coming back?
- The day after tomorrow.

Goodbye.

Bye.

l'll call you!

Michal! Are you going to Warsaw?.

You didn't tell me.

l got a telegram.
l'm in a hurry.

l'll tell you everything
when l'm back.

Sorry l'm late.

Were you sleeping?.

You don't have to come here
if it bores you.

The conductor was magnificent.

He conducted too slowly.

0h, she's here.

l know this gal.

Be quiet and at least
don't embarass yourself.

At least?.
What do you mean?

Put away this hideous chain
or l'll move.

All seats are taken

you'll have to
seat on someone's lap.

Who is this girl?

lt's my mother

when she was very young.

You are very much alike.

What's up with Jowita?

You're not interested
in her anymore?

You're talking about it again

while l forgot it.
What do you want?.

This.

Where did you get it?.

She didn't forget about you.

What do you want?.

l got a letter from her.
She wants to know

if a boy from the Academy
remembers her.

What letter?!

You weren't in front of
the Academy after the ball.

Two days later she went to Australia.

Maybe you'll attend
a contest in Melbourne?

lf Jowita really exists

it seems you want me
to fall into her arms.

l promise you that
there are many better ways

to get rid of
a man one doesn't love!

The best is
to say it to his face.

You didn't notice my hair grew.

What is it?.

Do you like it?.

lt's nice.

Wait, l'll make supper.

So Edward isn't here?

He had to go to Warsaw.

Would you like some tea?

No.

Maybe some wine?

No...

Thank you.

l feel a bit strange today.

Why?.

l don't know.

Life passes and what?.

lt's not much of a life.

Everyone admires you.

You've got...

a unique personality.

l'm bored with everything.

And most of all
with my personality.

You've no idea
how stagnant my life is.

Your life is

an opposite phenomenon.

You don't know many fears
that bother people.

The worst fear concerns
wasting one's life.

That one won't experience
anything new.

l wanted to become a botanist,
you know.

Why didn't you?

Edward didn't let me study.

Why did you marry him?

l loved him.

l love him, after all.

Would you...

sacrifice something for... love?

For love

l don't know.

But for something else

Maybe.

For a cause,
an honorable deed, you see?

Not really.

Do you understand a man
running around

a damn lawn as fast as he can

to outdistance the others?

Yes. But l wouldn't
feel like doing it.

What's that got to do with it?.

Life is a bloody 0lympic Games.

People compete in various events

and they strive to win even

against themselves.

0ne has only to decide
which rules to follow.

And just follow them.

Do you know what l want?.

l don't want to
be Ksiezak's wife.

lt doesn't mean
l'd like to divorce him.

l love him and
what l said is not against him

but against myself.

l want to separate myself

from what l have become

and be someone else,
even for a moment.

Why can't a man change?

- He can change.
- Can he?

0f course.

How?.

0ne needs
courage and determination.

You talk nicely.

l think l wasted a lot of time

doing various things
instead of listening to you.

Do you remember when...

l pulled your hair at the ball?

Do you know why l did it?.

Hello. Edward?

Yes, it's me.

lt's me!

Stop repeating ''hello, hello''!

Stop yelling!.
Yes, you're yelling!.

You have to
understand these matters.

lt's just maintaining appearance

but it's for my parents.

They are dim-witted bourgeois.

lt would be terrible for them

if we lived together unmarried.

l care about them.

Will you marry me?

What?.

lf you're ashamed
to live with me unmarried

then we can break up.

You're sometimes
astonishingly old-fashioned.

How such a thing
in the second half of 20th century

can be a problem to anyone?

Dorota!

You're still reading this.

Such a big girl
reads stories for children.

lt's a very wise book.

''You stupid ass'', she said
and vanished in the bathroom.

l jumped for 5,90, you know?.

- l don't believe you.
- Ask the Master.

0k, l believe you.
Where's Edward?

l think he went home.

l got 12,1 for 100 m yesterday.

Shall l ask the Master?

Why is he picking on me?

He is?
l didn't know about it.

- He doesn't pick on anybody.
- He does on me!

You saw it!

What did he mean
by that suspicion?

How am l supposed to know?.

l know what he meant.

Which way are you going?.

- l can walk you.
- But l'm in a hurry.

- You won't keep up.
- Are you nuts?

l told you
not to be so vulgar.

What's vulgar about it?.

Fine, go home to your mum.

My mum lives with an actor,
you know.

He played a bishop
and it's so funny

when l think about
my mum and a bishop.

You always have to talk dirty!
Bye.

l kept up with you, you see?
Bye!

Come in.

So? You weren't
at the stadium today.

l was.

Listen.

lf you don't get to work
immediately

you won't get
below 4 minutes

and there will be
embarrassment.

To me or to you?

What do you mean?

Various things.

That's why l came here.

Edward, listen.

l behave in a silly way
towards you.

Please, don't be angry with me.

And let's not speak
about it anymore.

l'm not going to
take part in the memorial.

You can be disqualified?

You got me wrong.

l don't want to
take part in anything.

You're saying that

you don't want to take part.

You're saying...

Fine.

But sport isn't
your auntie's nameday.

You don't say ''thank you''
and go away.

Here you run
and get money for it!

Haven't you noticed that?.

Tell me about it.

l haven't read
about it in a newspaper.

l don't want
to be a racing horse!

But it's
the basis of your existence!

That's what l'm afraid of.

Now you think you're smart.

But remember - without running

without winning, sport,

everything that created
you and your myth -

what will be left?.

- Me.
- Me? You and your sulking

Your love affairs, delusions

about which nobody cares!

So you ran and you will run!

lt doesn't matter
if you like it or not!

lt's your only hope.

The rescue for your ego
which you adore so much.

0therwise you will drown yourself

get confused

or loose your mind.
l know you well.

You enter the race on 17th

at 16:45.

You're afraid.

Hello.

Hello.

You argued with Edward.
0ver what?.

You don't want to
enter the race.

Edward really cares about it,
he wants you to win.

Don't you have
other things to talk about?.

l like talking about you,
is that bad?

Don't put it out.
lt's nice.

Tell me, why is it so?

What do you mean?

We met so many times
and nothing happened

but now...

l don't know why it is so.

But l know we can't
see each other anymore.

l know.

- But why?.
- We just can't.

You're smart

but you don't know women.

That's a shame
you don't trust me.

- Shall l go now?.
- Don't go.

Don't think badly about me.

You should understand me.

Not a single person in my life
understood me.

l never thought badly about you.

But you don't like me.

l want you to like me.

Helena,
we can't see each other again.

You know everything anyway.

You're silly.

Silly.

Here you are.

Are you going
to Ela's place?

No, l'm going to Warsaw.
Take care of Helenka.

l'm not going anywhere
without you.

Come on,
you're exaggerating.

Perhaps
for a half of an hour.

Fine, but walk her home.

l can't go either.

My aunt from Poznan
has arrived.

l hardly made it
to the concert.

Go and get me an autograph.

l must have it.

Why can't you go yourself?.

0f course l can.

Stop singing off key.

Thank you. Here you are.

Did you enjoy it?.

Mr. Arens!

You've no idea
how glad l am to meet you.

l saw you at the stadium
in Rome a few weeks ago.

l kept my fingers crossed.
l admired you.

Thank you very much.

- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.

For Mr. Marek Arens
with admiration and fondness

Wanda Wilkomirska

Take Helena with you.

l have to go to the station

and she's very nervous
when l go away and she's alone.

l'm not nervous, don't be silly.

You see? She can't be alone

because she needs to
talk to somebody.

0therwise she...

- She's silent.
- Yes, indeed.

Now excuse me,
l'm going to catch a cab.

- l've got the cab.
- Let Marek and Helena go.

l've to stay
with the wretched aunt.

l didn't think you bother
so much about the family.

Do you expect
an inheritance from the aunt?.

lf you can't even manage
to get an autograph,

spare me your nasty remarks.

l'll try to get rid of the aunt
and come to Artur.

l think you'll manage
without me.

Kids, hurry up.

Go, l'll go on foot.

- Goodbye then.
- Bye.

Marek?

What happened?

Nothing.

Hands up!

What a great film!
l'll go with you if you want.

Fine, just hide that colt
or there will be a crowd.

Are you afraid of
some passers-by?.

They'll get
what they deserve.

- Spare them.
- 0ne because you ask me.

Where are you going?.
Can l walk you?

Fine, let's go to my place.
We'll make some food.

l don't know. l have to read.

- Peter Pan, huh?
- Yes.

Here's your milk,
grow up tall.

Aren't you eating?.

Look.
You get your knees too high.

Yet nobody notices that.

Who is this?

- l don't know.
- What do you mean?

lt's somebody

l met once in my life
for so short

and in such circumstances that

l don't know
if she really exists.

What?.

But l believe she exists.

And one day l'll find her.

What is it?.

l can see something's wrong.

How did it happen?

No big deal.
What's the fuss?

Dorota

You are so spoiled.

- Me?
- Yes.

Since we're friends,
it doesn't count at all.

l love you
like my own brother.

Still reading Peter Pan?

You think this book is silly

but it's wiser than
all the books you read.

Then tell me
what it is all about.

Generally speaking

Children used to be birds

living on an island in the park.

0ne of them, Peter Pan, ran away.

When he flew back
he found out that

he wasn't a bird
and he lost his faith in flying.

He wasn't a child anymore.

He was neither this, nor that.

You're like that too.
Neither this, nor that.

Me?

You, me and the Master.

You're either a genius

or a total idiot.

Master said that too.

Can't you just
call him Ksiezak?

You'd call him ''Master''
even if you were in bed with him.

That's true.

- What's true?
- This.

l think l got you wrong.

l called him ''Master'' in bed.

l'm so used to it,
l couldn't call him differently.

When did it happen?

ln Budapest,
when l dislocated my ankle.

He was very good to me.

l bet he was.

Do you know what he said?

Wait...

l have to think about it.

But without me.

l'm off.
Thanks for the supper.

Bye!

Bye.

- ls Lola here?
- Who?

Lola Fiat 1100.

Yes.

Mr. Marek, where's your tie?

Do you remember me?

Get lost, you boozer.

Hold him!

Good evening.
l'm glad you're having a good time.

Sergeant,
he wanted to kill that woman.

And he attacked us

when we tried to defend her.

l can see you attacked him.

They're telling the truth
l wanted to kill her.

He wanted to kill her.

She was standing by the bar,
drinkingjuice

while he suddenly attacked her.

Someone said it's Arens.

Sergeant, you know Arens well,
don't you?

ls it Arens?

l didn't ask you about it.
No, it isn't.

We will find out who it is.

Documents, please.

Where is the injured one?

Her head was smashed,
she's in the hospital.

We only acted
in self-defense.

We defended the lady.

l've heard that.
We'll find out what happened.

Next time

Let the police do their job.

Please disperse.

Let's go.

Will you be quiet
or shall l handcuff you?

l'll be frantic and bite you.

Are we running today?.

We do,
but in a different direction.

- What are you doing?.
- Nothing.

- l wanted to kill her.
- What really happened?

- Where are we going?.
- Home.

Skowronski,
we're going to Stolarska.

You still live there, right?.

Kosmala

Take me to the police station.

Don't worry.

Who was this... ''lady''?

Lola Fiat 1100.

Szymaniak shot himself
because of her?

Why did you
want to kill her?

l thought
it would solve everything.

Revenge for Szymaniak?

lt's too late.

Not only this. Everything.

Would you kill her
if they didn't stop you?

They didn't stop me.

l couldn't do it.

Fine,
you'll go to sleep and forget.

We'll forget too.
Right, Skowronski?

Sure.

Don't be afraid of
the witnesses.

l'll shoulder Lola Fiat 1100.

l'm not asking you to do this.

l didn't ask you
when we were fighting.

You could have knocked me out
but you didn't do it.

You let me finish.

You have to understand
what l'm saying.

You think
l could have knocked you out

but l didn't
because in the audience

there was a girl you liked.

That's not true.

l didn't knock you out
so she'd like me.

l wanted to show her
what l'm capable of.

And later she slept with me.

See?

l wanted to be
honest and noble in my life.

But it never worked out.

l want to start
all over again now.

But firstly
l have to shatter everything.

Stop fooling around,
we're going to the police station.

Skowronski,
we're going to the police station.

Yes, sir.

l knew you would do
something crazy.

l always feared it.

lf the thing l did
really is crazy.

l don't know.
l should have told you earlier.

About what?.

l and Michal...

are going to get married.

We've been together
for a long time.

Don't think it was easy and...

that it went on easily.

When l went through that gate

and saw you standing
and pondering

l was afraid of
the greatness of your love

and my inability to respond to it.

Listen, l should go.

l'd better go.

Go, Agnieszka.

lt doesn't matter now,
but l have to tell you.

l was Jowita.
