Starring:

Also starring:

With:

Mr. Postman! Mr. Postman!

Is there anything for us?
-Yes, there is!

Parcel!

From abroad!

Scenography:

Music:

Director of Photography:

Written and directed by:

May I?

Is this also from father?

This is the official call for the interrogation.

Don't talk anything about this parcel in the school.
Not a word.

There is no letter from father, right?

Perhaps it was, but they took it out.

The ball pen!

So? Did you like juice?

So, because that your ex-husband

remained in England,

he is indifferent to Poland.

He fought for Poland.

Oh yes, but not for this one,

not for our Poland.

He does not care about you, neither about his son,

Otherwise he would have returned.

One moment.

Maybe you could get a divorce?

I can not.

We are married in Church.

The State will give you the divorce.

It would be better for you,

and for your son.

You should think of a son.

As we...

we won't protect such children

of enemies of Poland

But what of he should be guilty?
- What, what!

He drinks juices from the parcels!

So, he gets profits!

Please sign it here!

That you will refuse any parcels.

There is no need to beg abroad.

And let son sign as well.

Well, I do take care now,

that you end up with menial work.

Aren't you afraid of a unfamiliar school in a big city?

Where there are no horses, but only
cars and trams.

Be careful with trams.
- I know.

You'll have to learn alone,

As aunt is very busy and she won't be able to look after you.

Anyway, he doesn't need to be looked after,

he knows exactly why he is going there.

You know why?
- I know.

We were very lucky that,
Aunt agreed to take him.

As she is not even a close relative.

That's the thing.

So nobody will know that his father
is abroad.

And do you know aunt at all?

You've seen her once, do you remember?

Nope.

Have you been knocking loud enough?
- Yes, I have.

And did she know that you were coming,
Did they expect you?

Mom sent a telegram.

Telegram is here.

They are seldom coming here.

If you want, then you can wait at my place.

No, thank you.

Not "Oui, Madame", but the whole sentence.

"Tarder" - delay.

Linger on, linger.

What about donkey, is it alright?
- Yeah, it is.

What do you want?
- I am coming to my Aunt.

Well, then, come on.

You came to school here?

You're hitched in your village.

Well, maybe you're right.

Maybe here you will be better.

There is a Chinese proverb:

"Darkest spot is under the lamp."

We'll think of something.

You'll have to pretend to be an orphan.
Do you agree?

Okay, aunt.
- Not "aunt."

For you I am "you", address me as "Ida".

Honestly, we are not really relatives.

But I knew your grandfather.
In St. Petersburg.

First, this is not your area.

In fact, this is our district.

I work nearby.
At the main post office.

I mean the area of residence.
- Not at all.

The work is more important than living.

My sister and I will be seeing him off and look after him.

We are working together.

We can not be distracted by some other school.

I understand that the boy is an orphan.

His father was victim of Sanacja regime.

He died during the war.
- From the Germans?

Yes, I think so.

Or perhaps from the hands of reactionary underground.

The mother could not withstand nervously.

Finally...

Okay!

Come, I'll show you a new class.

Aunt, why do you lie?

How do you turn to me?

Do not talk to me as "aunt."

address me as Ida.

No, I mean, as Emma.

Some day I'll explain you everything.

And I do not lie.

Only, sometimes I say untruth.

And it's a very, very different thing.

Sometimes you need to say untruth

to people.
- And to whom you don't need to?

Come. Get in.

No, no!

To the first row. Change over.

You should take care of your new colleague.

He will need your help.

Do not stand on the stirrups, relieve it.

Stop!

Dismount!

Off the horses!

This is for everyone. No exceptions.
- I'm the exception.

I do not do anything under the order.

I can order myself

dismount.

Women, they don't fit to the army.

What are captain's grunts?

Sit down.

I don't fit in the army. Huh

I cut through three front lines from St. Petersburg.

I chased off the Bolsheviks.

And I don't fit in the army.

Take the reins and go.

The horse needs to know who is in charge.

It feels like you're a little afraid.

You can fool a man, but not a horse.

Hold on, hold on to the mane!

Captain, what are you doing?

All right, Hubert!

Thank you. Now, help me with the donkey.

It works for us.

Look.
- Not bad

A1.

Why A1?

Just saying so. One is not allowed to write with this one.

Only such a pen with nib.

And from where did you get such a foreign pen?

I found it.

Probably you're lying.

So what! One is not allowed ?

There are ways one can get out the truth.

We already know that you are from the private holders.

That's not true!

They saw you with the uncle
at the zoo when you collected money for the donkey.

I have no uncle!

Why do you toss?

Stop throwing stones!

Stop! Whoa!

Dismount! Right Away!

They fancied Uhlans' games.

Rotten Bolsheviks!

Who said that?

Aha! That's you! Dismount!
Record it!

Your documents.

What the hell, I spilled out those Bolsheviks

Uhlans.

For them, the horses are either uhlans,
or reactionary horse riding.

As if only the landowners were riding.

What will happen to the horses?

You better do not ask.

Do not look at me like that.

They will go for meat.

for lions, tigers.

That was the reason for the stable

it was a storage of meat.

Only a donkey was ours.

No!

I do not want to live without horses. I can not.

I can without men. For the whole life

I chased them off. Who needs such loafers?

You will be a loafer too.

Now, this is the end. I'll die.

You'll have to bury me.

You're not talking seriously?

We have to find the money. For horses.

You can not live without horses either

I can.
- You just think so.

You'll go with me.

To my aunt.

It's worth for you to get her know.

She was the heroine during the war.

She was at Monte Cassino. Over there

her thigh was torn out.

She knew your grandfather.

And perhaps she knew your father.

Maybe she'd be moved by

What did you make it to rush so much ?

Just wait.

I have so little left out of my life.

What is my guarantee that you will not spend everything on
nonsense?

But horse is not nonsense.

You understand it yourself.

I can not exist without a horse.

And how do you maintain it?

I work.

I have two jobs.

In first I'll earn for me and a boy.
In the other - for a horse.

Horse will be great support.

You've always been extravagant.

Always impatient.

And I have only very little left.

Besides, you know, it's here!

Watch after this.

Because The Nuns

would not allow you.

And those folks from the embassy,

You know about them yourself.

Take a look.

Here you can see everything.

I have a whole thigh of platinum.

It was invented by the British.

Now they consider it as their

own property.

And we fought for them.

Did you know my father?

Of course.

He was a wonderful man.

Well, it's good that he didn't return.

Yes. If he returned...

it is likely that he
would not be among the living.

I'd like to be sure,

that you do not spend it on nonsense.

But at least for his education.

Thank you.

Anyway he is a good student.

Yes, we're leaving, sister.

And how ?
- There is not much to look at.

Let's don't loose time. It is small one.

Small one, but it still grows up.

Yeah, it'll grow up.
- As I will.

Sorry, so you do not buy.

Look at the hooves.

Three time it was injured.
So, we need to slaughter it here.

Yeah, one cut and it's done.

We'll sell its meat here.

I will take it.

I take it!

it will be ok?
- Nonsense.

I don't want to have anything in common with this

Hubert, come to me, you're not going
to walk after the horse. Go on

What is its name?

Leonora.

For me it would be Dereh.

Do you train heavy lifting?

No, I just train.

Sometimes a man is alone.

And he must stand up for alone.

Is this Denmark yet there?

Only a bit more than 100 kilometers.

Yeah, More or less.

This one will not work. Only for meat.

And yet, we will still surprise you.

Justynka, come here!

Horseback riding is good for your health.

Come on, do not be afraid.

Do not worry, your father is the minister.

You should frighten them.

You are afraid of donkey, come on.

Well, you are afraid of donkey

Come, show him how to mount it.

Come on: bold, bold!

Now go forward, bold.
- Very good!

And where are you from?

I was born in Leningrad.

I sang in Maryiansky choir.

In my youth.

I cooperated with comrade Krupskaya.

In Smolny Institute.

And were you in Spain?
- Yes, I was.

Before the war. Under the king.

Bolek! Are you ok? It is good to learn to fall.

In the Ukraine during the harvest

Taras Shevchenko's hat lies. So, where from...

So where from...

So where from my buddy,
in your song:

<>

Okay, thank you.

And who else was in the brigades among Poles?

Please.

Comrade Swierczewski.

Correct. General Walter Swierczewski.

Please.

And also comrade Justyna.

Which Justyna?

Justyna Vinevar.

Wife of our Minister.

How do you know this for sure?

We are acquaintances.

We have been at their place in Natolin.

Go back and watch out.

What are you doing here?

... I needed to piss.

Run away to the barn,
so the mare is not caught.

Stop, stop!

Stop or I shoot!

It was illegal mating!

Are you crazy? What mating?

I brought out the mare... -Where?
- For a walk!

And your stallion just jumped on it!

Man, it was rape,

instead of mating! Take a look yourself.

She's escaping, completely terrified.

A rape?

What our stallion was doing outside in the night?
- Sir,

it escaped from the stables.

And when it saw such a mare,
so what it was supposed to do ?

They are too young for mating

And above all, it should be according to the law,
and you have to pay

You were up to the challenge.

It was nothing special.

I thought of reward for you.

We'll try to call the father.

But it's a complete secret.

Goodbye.
- Goodbye, Mrs. Ida.

You go and order a telephone call

Here's the number.

Pre-pay for three minutes.

If you hear the operator's voice in the booth,

You will say: it is us

When you hear my voice,
then you pretend you don't recognize me.

And I'll try to connect you with London.

Hopefully, the father will be at home.

When you hear the voice of your father,

Say only one sentence and immediately hang up.

Do you understand? Otherwise it is impossible.

Who ordered Prague?

Booth number 2.

Hello? - Dad?
- Who is this?

Dad, it's me.

I'm good at school.
And someday I will come to you.

Hello?
- What's this joke?

Who is playing over there?

Are you deaf?

Why am I deaf?
- What did you connect?

I was singing in the opera, and you are talking "deaf".

it was just all messed up.

Is the call over?
Yes, yes it is

Do you know to serve to the priest?

Why?
- I invited the priest,

to come and consecrate the barn.

I'm afraid that

motorcycle can fly spark and set it on fire.

We have no money for the insurance,

and the consecration will give the same benefits.

Ah, there will be 4 more horses in the stable.

Whose?
- From the collection.

Sit down.

I didn't tell you the most important thing.

Dereh is

already

pregnant.

Will we consecrate the motorcycle as well?
- Yes, we can do that on a side.

But...

For me it is important that you

will bless this.

No, if this is a weapon, I can not.

This is not a weapon.

Is this horse alive?

Consecrated.

Choirboy!

Choirboy served the mass?
Not your business!

Mrs Director, he served the mass!

He is in the surplice on a photo

It is not true, he serves the mass himself.

Show me.

Sit down.

What do you chew?

I am finishing my breakfast.

It'd be desirable that your aunt did not miss

the next parent-teacher meeting.

Notebooks.

I denied that I believe.

I lied, that I don't serve the mass.

But I knew

If I confessed, they would not admit me to the high school.

but I have to continue my education,

because I promised it to the father.

I do not know whether or not I really sinned.

St. Peter also recanted.

And you, the next time in such a situation,
do not say anything.

Just

stay silent.

As a penance you will read

2nd Epistle of St. Paul to the Corinthians.

Do you have Bible at home?

Yes, it should be.

Why you do not sleep?

Aunt, I have to ask a question.

Do not call me aunt, just ask.

Your name is Ida or Emilia?

Oh boy.

Do you have a sister?

Well, let's say yes. And so what?

And is she a member of Party?
- Oh boy...

It is too difficult.

And that's why you want to leave?

I want to know the truth about you.

You do want, but you won't know.

You'll find out in due time.

Here.

Read.

Shakespeare's thought.

there are more things on earth, and in heaven,

than your philosophers dreamt about.�

That's it.

In this difficult time,

There is no single truth.

There are many truths.

Because this logic

is so complicated.

You think I'm doing the bad.

But I behave the best,

I think, I can.

Your father would have approved it for sure.

And where do you want to go?

And did you think, who will

be riding the colt?

Me, or who?

This is what you should do.

But I can not, as I do not understand anything.

I can not either.

But I must.

And you must too.

We have to survive.

See what you've done?

If you want to compensate...

And the small amount.

Maybe we could catch the horse with the car?

Yes, of course.

There will be a trouble again.

For contacts with foreigners we can go to jail.

Not once, I did time, so I will do again.

I am sorry, I can not.

After the work shift I am probably really brainless.

I am not apt for anything, everything is shaken out.

And besides,

I do not know,

whether it makes sense still to learn French.

Hurry up.

Do you understand what threatens you?

Being down classed.

Do you know what this means?

We have guests!

Do you have lipstick?
- Yes, in purse.

Come on.

Is this a good color?
- Yes, good.

I am curious if he travels with this car to Berlin?
- Most Likely.

And at the border, probably he is not checked.

Not checked.

In this trunk a few people could fit.

But do not rely on others.

Only on yourself.

What if I wrote a letter to the father,

so he could take it a send it while abroad?

Doubtful.

If you have any questions about specific
students, then ask.

I'm Wlodek's father.

I heard you had some difficulties with opening

of the club at the zoo.

And I know that you have a stable again.

Why are you interested in this?

My son wanted to learn to ride.

But there is no way here.

Of course.

I could write an article

About folk sport's team.

And then you would be admitted to any club.

Are you so sure?

But they say that riding -
is a bourgeois relic.

But I would have put it differently.

After all Comrade Marshal Rokossovsky

rides too.

Yes, but he does it as a soldier.

And also as an athlete at the races.

So, I'll talk.

In the stables.

And give the reply through your son.

Which one is Wladek?

This one. We sit at the same desk.

Nit and a scoundrel.

I'm afraid you'll have to start liking him.

There are red and white and red.

Why should we bother with
some national banners?

Put up red one.

But red is torn.

I'll put up white and red.

Ok, Let there be white and red.

Maybe Hubert be first?

They'll exchange themselves later.

I do not really need.

I do not care I can ride a donkey.

No, no, we won't take pictures of ass.

Sit down!

A boy who grew up in the village,

Now he develops in Warsaw,

his skills obtained at the pasture.

Very well written.

Congratulations! Keep it up!

You also once rode,
,or am I mistaken?

At one time, but it does not matter.

But, you see, we already have several sport horses.

So, why we would need yours?

To raise to a higher level

our folk equestrian sport.

If they write about us,

then for sure there is a need.

I read it today, I know.

But we must have some use

for maintaining of your horses.

But in the future they will be
some competitions.

Or at least parades.

Your horses will not go on a parade.

How about cultural events?

Celebrations?

I do not know whether it will be good.

We have here

certain military comrades.

And they do not really want,

someone else around.

We will be away from them.

They will not even notice us.

Keep your back!

Straighten up!

You won't be hurt.

Sit straight up, loose up your arms.

We have a deal! No one goes to the tracks!

Good. Further on!

You're not allowed to go there!

Hello soldiers!

Stop! Stop!

Please skip it.
- I will not let you go.

Where does a citizen go in such a hurry?

We apologize, but our colleague
just wanted

to talk for a minute with citizen marshal.

Yeah, but why in such a hurry?

With whom do you talk at all?

When he knocks up, say that I am out.

That I left. For a long time.

He could see that curtain is moving,

so open up, but do not let him in.

Aunt told me to tell you that she is leaving.

I understand.

No, no, I can not take a risk.

He's followed.

If they notice that he visits me,

I'll be fired from work.

And you can forget about any hope for studying.

No, I just can not.

Or maybe he's a spy.

We met him near the training range.

So, where do you really stand?

Are you 'for' or 'against'?

How can I be 'for'?

I know very well this plague.

From its birth in St. Petersburg.

I know them.

And therefore I keep lying.

Because we have to survive.

And not for ourselves.

we have to survive for the country.

Because we are

the substance.

Do you understand?

I talked with Marshal Rokossovsky.

Although I know who he is and what he did.

But thanks to our conversation

we will be on the parade.

And at the celebration.

And if we are at the parade once,

Then we're official.

And we won't be disbanded.

So, that's why I drove off

that diplomat.

Things could go awry.

I thought that I'd give him a letter that he would send to
the father when he's abroad.

No, no.

It�d too risky.

His things are searched too

and if someone found such a letter,

we'd meet our end, the real end.

Is this a proper song for May 1st Day eve ?

After all, it is foreign one.

This is a very progressive song.

Comrades

Carmen - it is worker's name

in a country where there is rampant

Dictatorship of General Franco.

I'll sing a song Carmen

in a language of homeland of progress.

Come on, we'll go to see how they make love

What's up?

We'll get our shoes completely dirty

Hello colleagues! What's going on? We're marching!

Comrades, you should clean that up.

Come on

Cavalry! Collect this shit!

Off the road you boor!

Captain, watch for the words!

What is wrong with that? A little manure.

Captain, I can remove it.

Dismount and get out of the column! Right Away!

We dismount.

Dismount!

You see?
- What is it?

Thus,

we can state the celebration of Labor Day happened

in our school as well as across the whole country

Decently but beautifully.

As always in such situations,

There have been certain incidents.

Read it, please.

There were attempts to disrupt demonstrations

by the group posing as so-called athletes,

Which law enforcement forced
removed from the column.

Anyone who wants to comment on it?

This is not true. I was there.

Not true?

So, our Party press doesn't write the truth?

I was there!

Everything was exactly as is written.

Therefore, I want to resort to self-criticism.

Because I allowed myself to be drawn

in an environment that occurred as hostile.

Maybe just a little immature.

It was a tactical error.

We should have sat quietly

and make our own case,
and not to go to public view

I do not agree.

This is a defensive tactic.

And it is necessary to attack, fight the enemy.

If the enemy is stronger,

there is only one way - a defense.

You forgot about Konrad Wallenrod.

One can outsmart the enemy.

And it works.

And we lost the battle.

But not the war.
- I am sorry.

Still, there is a third way.

Which one?

Think.

Let's talk after the holidays.

I have the best certificate in my class.

What are you doing?

I was ordered to withdraw all of this from the library.

So much?

Tell me something more.

Mom, I rather wanted to ask.

Tell me if Aunt is right?

Does she have a sister
and is that sister in Party?

I want to know all this.

I'm old enough
for such issues.

Yes, you're.

But, how do I know the answers?

Tell me how one could be good as Party member,

if they have done so much evil?

I do not know, son.

You yourself must think about it.

I can not help you.

I can show you

Several books.

Or

ask the priest, maybe he knows.

Hubert

Dear Priest

How is it that about one and the same person

in some books it is written one version,

and in the others - it is quite the opposite one.

You see, the truth is one.

But not all the books are written with truth.

Hubert! Telegram to you!

Dereh gave birth! Colt is named Butterfly.

Why Aunt spends the money on telegrams?

She works at the post office, it's free for her.

Ksawery hasn't qualified for the studies for the fourth time.

How's that? He failed?
- Of course, he passed.

Not admitted.

His ancestry didn't fit.

So he took up such a job,

to report next year,

he was just a worker.

Seweryna has died.

You must help me with the important matter.

What?
- It is a mystery for now.

Sister, leave us alone, please.

Watch out at the entrance.

For the horses here is the oat,

for us here is the caviar.

They will have burst.

Today we do not save.

If it is a holiday, then it is a holiday.

But for whom we should be grateful for this?

His Royal Majesty.
And my late cousin.

Is not it better to spend moderately?

And why should I keep it up?

For the Bolsheviks who could seize it?

I will not do such nonsense for the second time.

Aunt... - That was a great gallop.

Now you feel that you're still alive.

It's open!

Where is the money?

Platinum?

What money? What platinum?

There is none.

I came regarding woman who died.

I have her statement that after her death

the platinum hip could be recovered.

It is the property of His Majesty's Government.

Too late.

I have sold it.

But this is not fair.

Dishonest?

And Yalta was honest ?
And Sikorsky, and the government in Lublin?

Really honest?

Look.

Only one piece sold.

Now think where we should hide it?

Maybe in the oven?

Or in the water dispenser?

No, they will find it there as well.

Well?
- Where then?

Nowhere!

They will not find if you don't hide it.

They decided to embalm him.
He will lie near to Lenin.

He had killed himself.

How do you know?
- I read about it.

Where?
- There is a Ossendowski's book: "Lenin".

Lend me.
- I can not, as it is prohibited.

Today

The leader of progressive mankind died

Comrade Jozef Wissarionowicz Stalin.

In this tragic day
we'll become the guards in front of his bust.

We will be on duty day and night.

We'll nominate the students.

First of all, excellent pupils.

We'll stand together?
- No!

Why?
Remember, how you ratted me the last year

But I had to.
- You're lying!

No, you didn't have to.
- Silence!

In this moment

we need to know how to keep our dignity.

Stop it, are you crazy?

They laughed at 00:28 hour.

Both were laughing out

and even made offensive gestures.

Especially Hubert.

Why did not you react?

I wrote it down.
- He's lying.

There were no signs.

He's extreme reactionary.

Even last year he participated

in an attempt to disrupt the May Day demonstration.

He himself took part in that.

Additionally, we are competing
for the first place in the class.

Good enough.

This matter is too serious

and will be reviewed at the next teachers' meeting.

You'll see this time you'll be kicked out from the school.

I have not sinned,

Only I wanted to know if,

what I had in mind, is a sin for certain.

I have had once such a problem.

Because I was peeping even if there was nothing

And then I confessed.

And now I intend to...

As I decided that, if necessary,

Do meanness to my pal.

I'm in a hurry.

It is about time.

I'm in a hurry, because I go to school.

Well, then you will come to me after the school to the sacristy.

Then it'll be too late.

He repeats the news
from the enemy radio stations.

Is it true?

But it is in order only to learn the language.

Why is that, here we only learn Russian.

He sows the distrust in socialism.

He repeats what he overheard there.

Well, this is more serious charge.

But it is not true.

And besides,

he reads the books withdrawn from the library.

False! Prove it!

Ah, right?

Then show me what you have in your knapsack?

Well, please.

1930,

Sanacja regime edition. Please, I ask you to take a look.

But it is his book,

he wanted me to lend it.

And you wanted to read it!

Where has this book come from?

I found it.

Pack it up!

I already said it all.

I do not know how you comrade will decide it
with your party conscience,

but we don't see any chances that Hubert

can continue his education.

It'd be the best to put him to the apprenticeship.

His primary education will be enough.

He'll finish 7th grade in absentia,

and perhaps the working class

will teach him all what the school failed to do so.

The working class, yes.

Can I pick up my book?

Well, no, not at all.

Well, let's go.

You didn't do make any mistake?

Really we should take a donkey?

So, as the aunt said.

This is the most important.
As it was then - a donkey in a drawn carriage.

And, at least there was an order?

I do not know anything.
Aunt herself put up the planning.

Yes, but if we're not lucky?

Then we'll return here
And I will get killed myself.

I will not go to work.

And why is that bad?

I see what is happening with Ksawery.

I do not want it happening to me.
I'll kill myself.

- How do you do it?

I'm just saying so.

I just let get myself killed.

I'll go across the border,
and let them shoot me.

Hubert, you must run away,

in a way so they could not kill you.

They said they were invited.
Just as in the previous year.

by Comrade Minister's wife!

They are with donkey!

Pull out the ass.

What a surprise
yes, what

Is this is a kind of minister,
who can settle everything?

I do not know.

But this one can everything.
- What does it mean all?

He can order, for example,
someone shot.

And he enjoyed this right many times.

So, why would he be helping me?
- Just because.

What is it worth such a gesture for him?

One phone call and...

And he will seem human.

Even with the heart.

Is it good to ask
such a person for help?

Why a donkey has not been saddled yet?

And this donkey

seem to be outrageous at school.

This means,

that you have to arrange

serious self-criticism.

No, I will not write it!

I am not going to repent.

But you planted

a book in his knapsack.

That's not fair.

Well, it wasn't.

But he snitched on me and lied.

Hubert - do you think that you did everything properly?

From the beginning to the end?

Nope.
- So, you see.

If you were himself impeccable,

you would be in a different position, as well as...

you got into this game, and I think,

that you must repent.

I also got involved in a game.

And already a long ago.

Do you think I would not have to lie to the Minister?

I had to, a lot.

No one likes to do that way.

So in addition, I admit,

that I was reading books

which were counterrevolutionary,

Defamatory to Comrade Lenin,

and I lent them to my colleagues.

I condemn my immature behavior,

I promise to fix it

and adhere to the rules of socialist ethics.

As you can see, in this case

it is visible our faith in man.

Hubert will get one more chance

and be accepted in our team.

You can sit down.

No, not there!

To the first row, please.

Well, how was it?

And will you endure so many hours?

From the border to Berlin there is only 70 km.

A little less than to Bornholm.

Just at the sea you can not see any frontiers.

Kayak?
- Cause radar can not catch it.

Listen.

And if you took me with you,

it would look even more without suspicion.

I could also row together with you.
You know that I'm strong.

And then my father will help us both.

You say it'd look without suspicion.
- When?

I do not know.

But be prepared.

Write a letter to your mother and to friends.

And do not tell anyone.

I promise nothing.

But you never know.

Now I'll ride.

Do you want to hurt it.

It's still a colt.

You said yourself,
that it can take part in the hunt race.

It is possible, but not under you.

Just under a boy.

Well, tough luck, then Hubert will ride.

I do not really need.

Let Aunt ride.
- Ida!

you will go!

Wow, finally, we have to show,

that from such a worthless Dereh -

we got this wonderful foal.

But I can not miss classes.

Just one day.

Well, two. And Sunday.

I will take two duty shifts,
and you'll go on a Butterfly.

Chase the fox!

I will frame you one copy,

second one we'll send to your mother.

And the third one - for the father.

When it becomes possible, then we'll send it.

My letters are still waiting for the dispatch.

It's not so simple.

A propos, about the letters!

Dominik came and asked,

if you haven't left any messages.

Yes, I told him that you went away.

And then did he go somewhere?

Yes, it seems so, to the coast.

Ah no, he said that he would go to Miedzyzdroje.

When was it?
- The day before yesterday.

Now go to sleep because tomorrow
you will not get up.

No, no, go to sleep.

What's that noise? Go to sleep now

What are you looking for here?

Get out of here!

I don't want you to be seen again.

I read your letter. I know everything.

I listened to BBC when they talked about Dominik.

He swam in a kayak.

And Danish trawler picked him up
In neutral waters.

And our stables were already

sealed by militia.

What about horses?

And horses are not arrested.

Look here!

Let's go to the most beautiful,
place that I know.

This is a training range. The access is forbidden.

They do not shoot. Forward!

Platoon!

Comrade Captain!
There are saboteurs saboteurs!

Remember - Rozmaryna.

The captain will not be useful here.

Let him try to pull me out through
the marshal.

Otherwise, I have no chance.

And one more.

So you know if there is a search.

There are two of us.

Do you understand?
- No. I do not understand.

Well, it is as if I have had a sister. And we're twins.

How is it?
- My Documents were burnt during the war.

I made new ones. For two of us.

Hence I have two job posts.

And the other one, which is not existing...

She is in the Party.

And it will be her who will be arrested

Take her out!

Aunt.

Ida.

Where Aunt keeps gold and dollars?

Nowhere.

Nowhere?

Come in, come in

Do they listen to the radio here?

They do listen.

Foreign?
- Yes they do.

Well, it's that one: "szirakaya strana.."

Well, it's, Soviet one.

Get out!

Can I go to school?
- You can.

Where should I look for the aunt?

Ask the prosecutor.

A visit?

What kind of visit?

There is still preliminary investigation,

and various things go out.

What do you want to talk to the detainee about?

About spying on the range?
- No.

About horses.

About horses? She can forget about the horses.

And you too.

Why her sister would not come,

and would not ask for a visit?

She is ill.

And you are healthy.

Yes.
- Well, then go out.

So, how is it?
- It's nothing.

Marshal seems to remember her

He promised that tomorrow she would be released.

But she has to leave Warsaw.

Keep it.

Let's go. As quickly as possible.

Aunt.
- Do not call me aunt.

It's time to go to work.

I forgot to tell you. I have no work any longer.

How is it?
- I was forced to get into retirement.

I would have two pensions.

One for himself, and the second -
for the fictitious sister.

I will give you the authorization to receive money for Idalia.

For that one, not belonging to Party.

I'll take the other pension, and will go to the Regained Lands.

I will buy something there,

for the rest of the platinum, which they could not find.

I have to start packing,

and you now go to school.

Education - this is important. The most important thing.

What will be the further Hubert's course of life ?

In a few years later there will be thaw. In year 1956.

Communist regime will become slightly softer.

I think that boy will be able to meet with his father.

Then, perhaps, he'll continue his education.

And today he will be exactly
as old as I am now right now

This is not an accident.

As the whole story

partially overlaps with my biography.

Indeed, there was Emilia

Crazy aunt who worked

two jobs and invented twin sister.

There was captain,

There was Rozmaryna.

There was Ksawery,

Who 4 or 5 times tried to get to the university.

There was Dominik,

who tried to flee abroad.

We lost his trail, he probably died.

And, in the end, I was.

Of course, not quite the same as Bartosz,
who played my role.

But Bartosz

will live in the XXI century.

A XXI Century

is the second century of cinema -

of this magical invention, thanks to which

we have been able to meet with you today.
