- Are you mad? - That girl leaves the surgery tomorrow.

What makes you think you can tell me what to do with my employees? I'm in charge of the surgery.

That's a good one! You seem to have forgotten my family bought “your” surgery,

“your” car, and “your” suit?

No they didn't.

If it weren't for us you'd still be in the country looking after your father's goats!

Never mind!

I want that stupid cow who can hardly even speak Portuguese out of the surgery.

My surgery.

Why are you jealous? You know perfectly well Tatiana's very good at her job.

She's so good at her job; she couldn't even get a job in Russia.

She's not Russian; she's Slovakian.

It's all the same to me. As if nigers weren't more than enough...

You make me sick I can't take this any more.

One of these days I'll leave and I'll never come back.

Poor thing... Leaving are you? Then go, go, leave, disappear... and don't bother to come back.

Hi, mother...

Hi father...

- Forget everything I ever told you -

Filling.

Filling.

Bite down hard. Thank you.

You can rinse your mouth.

Yes?

Give me ten minutes.

You can get dressed now.

Father, the nanny goat's eating the roses again.

It's not a nanny goat, it's a billy goat.

- Won't you stay for dinner, Pankas? - No thank you, I'm just leaving.

Tidy this away

Are those greens fresh?

The greens are very fresh. But the tomatoes (balls)...

...rotten

I'll go.

Hello? Oh, Adelaide.

Hello, Sis.

I don't know what I've done,

but it's one damn thing after another.

What? She set the house on fire?

It was awful, everything in flames, everything burning.

Oh, God I thought this is it.

I understand. Of course.

Here to us?

Father! she could be your granddaughter.

So?

Would she like to come here?

I 'd thought about that.

It's chaotic here.

To tell the truth, a change might do her good.

Things might change ...

Yes, of course. I'll deal with Messias

Don't worry. This is between us.

Thanks, sis.

Who was it?

My sister Adelaide.

- Anything wrong? - No, everything's fine.

God damn the old man and his old nanny goat.

Uncle Messias?

I'm your niece Barbara, don't you remember me?

Hello!

- Do you want to put your bag in the back? - No, I'm fine, thank you.

- Where's Felizbela? - She said she was going to buy some cigarettes.

So, what are you doing here?

I've come to visit the family.

Let's go?

You ignorant load of shits! You don't know what art is!

Clothes off! Clothes off!

Never mind!

They're all a bunch of idiots.

And me trying to write music for these those shits.

Father was quite right when he said I should stick with the cinema.

You'd better believe it.

Make horror films with buckets of blood.

Yeah, where a rock band sets fire to the audience at the end of the concert

All the people running and stomping on each other...

- I have to go home. Can you give me a lift? - Sure, no problem.

With some luck my parents won't be home yet.

What's that damned goat doing here? Outside now!

MESSIAS !

Father!

The goat got out again.

God, my parents are home.

Don't stop...

- It's my parents! - Don't stop now ...

Get dressed!

This is Joana's boyfriend.

You've got your shirt on backwards.

This is your room.

Relax, make yourself at home.

- Dinner's at eight, OK? - OK.

How was your day? Things go OK?

How was your day? Things go OK?

Aren't you coming to bed?

I'm coming.

You can get dressed now...

I'd like to do some more tests, find out exactly what is going on.

Did that hurt?

No, carry on.

Rinse your mouth now.

There are no more patients, Dr. Messias, May I leave?

Of course, Tatania... see you tomorrow.

- Tatiana? - Yes. Dr. Messias?

What do you think of the name Vladimir?

I don't know... it seems... normal.

What about “Vlad”?

Sounds better... Thank you. See you tomorrow.

Tatiana?

Yes, Dr. Messias?

I know you were going to help me

at my daughter's birthday party. ... but I'm afraid it's just not possible

I understand, Dr Messias.

I'm so sorry.

It won't come loose

Sorry Uncle... I didn't mean...

This way

You try.

This is childish!

I'll finish this today.

1500 pieces, uh?!

- Apart from those the nanny ate. - It's not a nanny goat its a billy.

Come in, love. Sit with us for a bit.

Can I have a cigarette?

I didn't know you smoked.

Sometimes.

My mother knows.

But it's bad for you.

What are you doing?

- Can't you see where you're going? - Sorry.

Sorry? Is that all? A month's work all over the floor...

Sorry, I didn't do it on purpose.

That's all I needed.

Never mind. It'll be forgotten by tomorrow.

I do such stupid things sometimes.

I'm going to need you.

What for?

I'm preparing a new trick.

My first disappearing trick.

- What are you going to make disappear? - You.

Oh Uncle, I've only just arrived and now you want to get rid of me?

It's Joana's birthday next weekend,

I'm going to do this trick and make someone disappear!

- Me? - Yes.

- Disappear? - Exactly.

Perhaps it's not such a bad idea.

So, it's your daughter's birthday today. How old is she?

16.

- You'll have to be especially pretty today. - Yes, yes...

How's Dr. Messias these days?

I was there last week having a tooth filled

And I have to say, your husband has velvet hands, I didn't feel a thing

He seems to have a lot of patients.

To be frank... women especially ...

...they even line up!

Look at that pig!

You still in Oporto, Dr. Mario?

I certainly am, Dr Messias.

I'm going to pee.

Our company policy is to accompany customers to the end of the contract,

and at the place of production if possible.

- I forgot Pankas was a vegetarian. -It doesn't matter. He'll eat salad.

Are you enjoying your party, Joana?

She's never liked birthday parties, She always cried on her birthday.

- Didn't you darling? - Yes.

But the emigrants you're talking about, pay taxes like us.

I must disagree, Dr. Messias, revenue does not make a country...

Go on you youngsters... l want to see everybody eating...

That's it Tobias, eat up.

Eat up and shut up.

All that lettuce?

Don't you want any potatoes?

Yah. Pass them over.

- What do I look like? - Like that pig over there.

Excuse me.

Before we cut the cake, I'd like to say a few words about my daughter, Joana.

First of all, I would like to thank my father, Tobias,

who has always been my friend. And a great nappy changer!

I'd also like to thank my wife Felizbela,

who gave me this present on the happiest day of my life.

Thank you, thank you... you're so kind.

My daughter has good friends. Thank you all for coming.

My daughter,

my first flower.

You are the essence of me

The light of my life,

You are my strength.

Ladies and Gentlemen, The magic moment has arrived with the great Vlad Saissem!

I need an assistant from the audience.

Perhaps that young lady over there?

BARBARA! BARBARA!

Go away, get away from here! Get away from me, do you hear?

Stupid girl!

Do you ear me?

Messias, get up.

Come on Messias, hurry up or we'll be late for Mass.

Let me sleep.

Don't run away, Celeste.

Don't be afraid!

I'm an old man nobody cares about.

They think I've got worms.

I know you're afraid of me,

but all I want is to love you...

and for you to appreciate me as a man.

I love him so...

I love him so... I could die...

My God...

God, what have I done wrong?... ...for him to dislike me so.

I don't ask a lot,

I've never asked much, have 1?

Just please bring my husband back !

It's strange that Celeste left.

She probably got somewhere better and didn't want to tell us.

Your father spent all his time running after the girl.

He was only teasing...

Only teasing? And now we haven't got a maid

Are you still trying to finish that?

Are you still trying to become a magician?

To see if I can make you disappear...

May I?

Come in, Come in.

Thank you for your help at the party.

What happened?

It must have been the heat.

What were you doing?

Sit down.

Get the lighter.

Messias...

You've got to go to work tomorrow.

Come to bed!

-Sr Tobias da Cruz? -That's me.

Please come in.

Come in Tobias. Sit down.

Thank you

Sorry, Mr. Tobias,

your tests confirm the initial diagnosis.

You must be brave...

We'll do everything possible.

Drink... you'll feel better.

I didn't know you were building a house

Nobody knows...

What is there to say?

This story has no beginning,

Everything has happened to me.

My children went away.

My wife died of something bad in her breast,

I'm left alone and stay alone. But it wasn't so bad,

I've always known death would only come at 100.

Until then I'll look after my sheep.

...but there's always someone who comes along and changes destiny.

One day in the middle of my meal

Messias, my eldest, came to take me away.

The very same day..

I sold all my sheep to my neighbour Anténio

and left with Messias

...I looked behind once again.

Don't you miss your house?

Not the house, no.

You're still young..

With time people get used to things, And even end up liking them...

I'll never get used to things... not like that anyway

Good God girl... what's wrong with you?

How dare you speak to me like that...

You don't know me or where I came from.

Sometimes it seems as if no one want us, doesn't it...?

Hot ass!

Try it.. salt cod and cream.

Ma, this is far too salty.

You're a load of old women

I'm hungry...

Why don't we go out to dinner?

Can I invite Pankas?

I've had my dinner.

Stop that!I've had my dinner.

Stop it!

Shit Joana... that's brand new.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

What are you having, Barbara?

Pork chop-suey.

What's the matter with these people?

What's the matter with her??

Ladies and gentlemen.

Ladies and gentlemen. Let's see who has the best voice?

Who'll have first go?

- Another whisky, please. - And a beer.

A sake, please.

Joana, don't you want to sing?

Are you mad? Karaoke is good enough for you lot.

For good or ill, I'm going to sing.

But I need some energy...

And now ladies and gentlemen... “Forget everything I ever told you”.

And don't forget to clap at the end. Maestro?

Forget everything ! told you

Take back promises made

Keeping this love

is pure madness

If your heart never wished it.

Our home has no future

You won't want me in old age

You've broken your word

built up a wall

Forget everything I told you.

These fears { shed

Are the beginning of the end.

I pray to the heavens

God I implore you:

Take the man I adore Far away from me

Forget everything ! told you

Take back promises made

You broke your word

Built up a wall

Forget everything that I've told you

Go back to your family.

Come here, it'll be all right ... at least once in life...

- Let me go. - Shit... at least try.

I don't know what I'm doing here!

Come on, you'll see, you'll enjoy yourself.

- Another sake, please. - Awhisky, please.

Mother, let's go.

Pankas!

- Wake up, kiddo! - Oh? What? all right!

- Darling, would you mind taking Joana home? - Yeah,yeah.

- Thank you - After this we have to go.

Are you happy, Messias?

Yes.

Do you love me, Messias?

What?

Do you love me, Messias?

Do you still love me?

I don't know

I love you, Messias.

Barbara!

Get me away from here!

She's run away!

- Wake up! - What?

Barbara's run away! She's run away!

Are you sure? Have you looked everywhere?

She's disappeared... I can't find her anywhere. Her bed hasn't been slept in. She's run away!

Keep calm. She'll telephone, you'll see.

Messias, what do I do now?

Yes, I understand... Of course, thank you.

The police haven't heard anything.

I don't know what to do. If anything happens to her, my sisterll kill me.

I'll get the car and go look for her.

How can you find her if you don't know how to drive properly?

Oh dear!

Where have you been?

Answer me!

Good morning... I'm Domingo.

Sit down, make yourself at home.

- Can I get you a whisky? - No thank you, I don't drink in the morning.

That's when it tastes best to me.

- Where has she been? - I don't know. Don't get upset,

She seems to be under stress.

Oh, she's under stress...

Won't you stay to lunch? I can send for a grilled chicken and chips.

- Is that all right? - That's fine.

You eat those things in Africa too, don't you?

I don't know, I've never been there.

Right, that's settled, Domingo is having lunch with us.

Sorry, I can't, I have to go to work today.

This is Messias, my husband. This is Domingo, Barbara's boyfriend.

- Nice to meet you. - A pleasure.

Excuse me a minute, will you?

If you'll excuse me, I'll just say goodbye to Barbara

Please do, her room is at the beginning of the corridor.

- Why didn't you tell me? - Why didn't I tell you what??

She's back.

She turned up all of a sudden.

Try and calm down...

Your aunt and uncle seem very nice.

If I killed myself what would you do?

Don't be silly... That'll get you nowhere.

What if I went off with somebody else?

I'd Kill you.

I've brought your dinner.

May I?

Sorry.

For what?

For slapping you yesterday.

What are you doing here?

Good morning, Mrs. Felizbela.

- Is my husband in? - Dr. Messias is with a patient.

- Tell him I'm here when you can. - Certainly.

Miss...

How do you say “whore” in Russian?

I'm not Russian, I'm Slovakian.

So it seems.

Couldn't you wait outside?

What do you want?...

Either you make me feel like a woman here and now,

or I want a divorce and I won't rest until you don't have a penny left.

You soft dick.

Take off your stockings.

Stop, Felizbela.

Stop!

- What's your hurry? - We've got a concert today.

Why don't you come? It'll be cool.

Father?

Ask your cousin, she'd like to go.

I won't know anybody.

Come on... I'll get the tickets.

- Felizbela? - No way.

Barbara?

It's completely full!

- Screw it - What is it?

I've got to go and shit.

- Where's he gone? - He went to take a shit.

It's time!

I think that's the first time I've ever seen you laugh.

It just shows you don't know me.

- What a relief. - Everybody ready.. let's go, it's time.

Why did you really come here?

I've told you... to visit the family.

You don't expect me to believe that, do you?

Yes, I do...

Let's go. It's started.

People, people...

Now we're going to play a crazy version...

Sorry, we'll have to wait. The lights have blown.

You're back?

How did it go?

The lights blew, would you believe it!

What about the youngsters?

Joana stayed on. Barbara's asleep.

I'll stay in the living room.

Off to sleep now, it's late...

I'm leaving...

Domingo is coming for me tomorrow.

Don't go.

I'm not doing anything here.

Ahh... I can't believe it... I can't...

I don't want to go on living...

Kill me! Kill me!

Just kill me once and for all.

- Good morning, father. - Hi.

Good morning my love. Did you sleep well?

Hurry up, Joana! Beeil' dich, Joana!

Heavens! Whose birthday is it today?

Nobody's. I just felt like making 2 special breakfast.

I won't be in to lunch today.

Good morning.

Try this, doesn't it look good?

Unforgettable, you'll see.

My dear ones... Pay attention. I've got something to say.

I want you to know I love you all.

My husband, Messias,

my niece, Barbara,

my father-in-law,

Tobias and the nanny goat that's outside eating my roses.

It's not a nanny it's a billy goat.

And you my daughter...

I'd like you to forgive me for the times I was an absent mother

and didn't always understand,

but you are the most important person in my life.

That's why I want you to know, even if the truth hurts

that your father

and cousin Barbara

have been sleeping together...

Stop this. Felizbela...

No, .. I can't take any more. Don't hurt me anymore.

Father?

Eat something, Felizbela.

Hello? Pankas... Come and get me.

80 Messias?

Happy now?

I'm going out how.

When I get back

I don't want you or that whore in this house.

It's over now... it's over.

-What have I done?... - Don't think about it.

If you only knew what life has in store for you son...

What is important is knowing that life doesn't wait for us.

If we don't grab it and hang onto it, it leaves without us.

What am I going to do now, Father?

Hang onto life with all your strength, son. The same strength it took you

to get me away from the farm Then it'll never get away from you again.

I'm off to look after my sheep.

- Are you all right, madam. - Just drive.

Leave me here.

I beg your forgiveness..

Forgive me...

Forgive me ...

I'm going to learn to love.

Let me start all over again!

Mr. Tobias!

Father?

Off you go, child. Go home to your mother.

Aren't you coming with us?

No. Daddy stays.

Everything is all right. Off you go.

Screw it! Bitch!

Mrs. Felizbela?

It's me... Domingo,

remember me?

Come on...

I'll take you home.

It's all over!

Drop me here.

- Are you sure? -Yes...

- Can I get you a drink? - Awhisky, please.

Two.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

- Barbara and I... - Shl... Let's not talk about it.

I'm tired of crying.

Another whisky please.

Another.

Do you find me attractive, Domingo?

Yes, I do...

Then why don't you ask me to dance?

Water!
