WOLF TRAP

Director: Jiri Weiss

Miss Jana?

Yes.

Welcome!

I'm Robert Rydl

My wife, Klara...

My poor little orphan

This is our Martina

From now on we'll be your father and mother.

Come in, Jana

This is your home

....

Our faithful Petronila

Come on! Welcome the young lady.

I hope you'll like it here

Your poor mother! Oh, that dreadful war!

You'll see... time's a great healer

Help yourself, Jana. They�re from our orchard

You're too kind.

The least we can do

No, Bobby. Take an apple instead.

Bobby, I tell you what... We'll adopt Jane

Oh, thank you, Ma'am!

Ma'am, indeed!

Call me Aunt Klara

Auntie, better just Auntie.

Right. Very well, Auntie.

Right. Take one.

What will you call her, Bobby?

Jana, if she doesn�t mind.

And a name for me?

Certainly, Mr. Mayor...

later

That's a promise

You're both so kind to me

Good morning

May I?

Good morning, girls.

Good morning Ma'am.

Good morning Ma'am.

- That's better - Auntie, I didn�t know

Bobbykins!

....

...

Wait, wait, wait!

Sit.

Keep the cream. Robert loves cream.

- Klara, please... - Robert, Jana has a lot to learn.

To be a diligent, dutiful daughter

I'll try, Auntie

Housekeeping, sewing...

Crocheting for her trousseau

Have some honey. It's good for you.

I'll teach you myself

I'll teach you myself

I'll watch your progress every day, Jana

I'll do my very best

Stepfather

- Stepfather? - Yes, Bobby.

You�ve got your hands full

....

Auntie said I might come in

This is erysipelas. It's a disease of pigs.

Have a look

Put your eye closer

Do you... do you see...

the slender blue rods?

Are they bacteria?

Petronila must put chlorine down in front of the sties.

....

Next time, cut the man.

He's a scandalmonger, not a lawyer.

...

Good day, Doctor

The old bloodsucker.

He cares more for his pocket than his patients

...

Mr. Mayor

- Good day, Mr. Fryecky, trouble? - An emergency meeting.

The swine epidemic's reached Opava

The Senator from there's come specially.

Ah... Frau Schillinger

Just imagine. A Senator's come to see Robert

...

Here's our Jana

She's thin yet

Ah, but she's a sweet, young daughter for you.

They all envy me

It�s because Bobby loves me so

You�ll see

What's this plant, please?

That's salvia

And this one?

This is kingcup

And this one is crowsfoot

And speedwell

You know the nursery rhyme?

- Look a butterfly - I'll catch it!

Look at Kana, Bobby

- She needs scolding. - Why on earth?

....

There are certain standards, Bobby

Accept this tribute, Gracious Lord

Thank you, Dear Page!

Let's go home. The spring air is tiring.

Passing down a street one day

I met a maiden on the way

My beloved she must be

My sweet... you must marry me!

Rather like a star I�d shine

High above in mystery

And I never shall be thine

Wed to thee I cannot be!

My brother knows the stars above

He�ll help me find your star, my love...

My beloved she must be

My sweet you must marry me

A little fish I�d rather be

Swimming downstream towards the sea

And I never shall be thine

Wed to thee I cannot be

My brother fishes in the sea

And he'll show every fish to me

My beloved you must be

My sweet you must marry me

Haste mum bake the wedding cake

No more this boy's heart I can break

His beloved must I be

This hair!

Naughty, naughty - back again!

Nasty hair! It will grow again

Jana, fetch the scissors

What�s wrong with you? Hurry!

Come to bed, Bobby. It's late Bobbykins

I've had a letter from the ministry

I must go to Opava

- But why? - That... swine... epidemic.

Reorganization... of the veterinary service.

For one day? Or two?

Until the thing's over

But that might be so long!

I won't let you go!

I won�t' give you up to anybody!

No one.

Well?

I�ve decide to go to Opava

- Klara. - Quiet, Bobby, quiet.

Robert wants to leave us.

Only for a few months.

I�ll come home often

I�ll die without him

Don't you understand. My career is at stake

I won't let you go alone!

Who said alone?

I�ll look for a flat at once

Then you could join me

What? leave our house? You�ve never liked it

It's our house

Move into a flat? No, Bobby. No

....

Well as Robert was saying

Of course the flat'll be in the best part of town

As wife of the District Veterinarian

you'll make friends with the District President�s lady...

Stalls at the theatre.

- No. A box. - Very well, a box.

We could buy chocolate at Jelinek's

But it seems so far away, Bobby.

I shall die here without you.

Klara... it's not for long.

And besides

It's our future.

Klara... it's our future.

You'll go...

You'll go where I go. We'll never part

Yes.

My precious Bobbykins

There's bacon and butter in the basket

Oh, what will you do without me, Bobbykins?

I�ll manage.

Jana! say goodbye to Jana!

Lovely day, isn't it neighbour?

He's looking for a rich wife.

I wish we were in Opava already

Mornings we'd see Robert to his office

Afternoons we'd go to Jelinek's for chocolate

There'd be theatre, and parties

How lovely it would be

Good morning frau Schillinger

How�s the mayor? He must miss you?

He does. He writes every day.

He's a long away

He wants us to join him

- Doesn't he, Jana? - Opava's a lovely town

We're going there for the fete

All Silesia's going?

And you'll be there?

How I envy you

Come here, Jana

....

How do you like this?

Meet Robert�s niece, Gertrude

And this is my Jana

You've talked about her at home, haven't you?

....

This is for you, Jana

For me?

My first silk dress.

Auntie!

Gertrude is going to alter it for you.

Hand me my hat

How do you like it?

....

- Perhaps a darker feather would be nicer. - Rubbish! Am I in morning?

Listen, you think...

- It doesn't suit me? - It suits you...

But, the white feather is...

rather loud.

You know nothing about it.

It's too tight that's all.

shall I ease it a bit?

It�d only spoil the style. Off with you!

One of my help ?????

But I�m going to inherit the lot! ?????

Our father which art...

Be thy name

Thy kingdom come

Go on, Trudlein

Wait! She'll give herself away.

Who's your sweetheart now? Franzlein?

- Yes. - When did you see him last?

Monday

Was it nice?

Was it nice in the woods?

Did he kiss you?

- We kissed? - And then?

Don't be shy Go on!

Speak up.

You sat down

And then he slipped his hand.

He slipped his hand somewhere

Yes.

And then...

And then...

He began to

- Truda! - What�s the matter?

Auntie she had a nightmare.

....

I... I can't stand it

Why blame me for a dream?

I�ll not put up with it.

....

So... You dare to criticise me?

You!

Out! Out at once!

And tell your family

You are through

You shan't bully me any longer. I hope your money chokes you.

Nothing but enemies

Even at home, you aren't safe

And you stood up for her.

- Auntie, it wasn't her fault - Insolence!

To think, I�m giving you a dress.

And the Opava fete.

Out! After her.

How can anyone be so ungrateful?

....

That hat.

The holed up monkeys, everything on credit

Ah, Mr. Bank President

Our new daughter, Jana

...

...

Robert - Senator Kurka

- Auntie, aren't you well? - The hat's too tight.

It makes my head ache.

Nice to see you

Klara

Mr. Valenta, from the ministry, my wife.

I�m honoured.

....

Is your mother not well?

Excuse me. I must go.

Auntie, please take off your hat

And walk about without a hat?

Oh, how it hurts.

Where's Robert?

He stayed behind talking with friends.

I must go.

Robert will be looking for me.

...

I felt faint from the heat.

Were you worried about me?

- Shouldn�t we go home? - Why go home?

It's hot for you.

....

Please take off that hat.

Why this fuss about my hat? It may be tight, but it's smart

Sit down, Bobby Why aren't you eating?

Sit down, Bobby.

We have to pay for it anyway.

Bobbykins?

He can't be far away.

Mr. President!

Have you seen my Robert?

Not since this morning with you.

- Mr. Director, have you seen my moppet? - No, madam, I haven't

- Have you seen my Bobbykins? - I haven't, dear lady

Auntie, calm yourself.

Stepfather can't be far away.

Auntie, I�ll find him.

Stepfather.

What's the matter?

Stay here a while, Jana.

Let's go now.

Bobby! Anything wrong?

....

At home, Bobby. You belong only to us!

Looking for anything, Bobby? Jana will find it for you.

- I�m only tired. - Come to bed, then.

Bed's the place to rest, Babykins.

I�d like a smoke first, Klara.

Go now, Jana.

We'll leave it to the morning.

Robert... you're being ages.

For me, Jana

You're all that might have been...

And never will be.

Jana, wake up!

Robert�s leaving Opava! He's going to Prague!

To Prague? Why?

You ask him. It's too much for me!

It's too much for me!

I won't have it! I won't! I won't!

I won't allow it. I simply won't allow it.

Robert, do you understand my feelings?

The minister himself has asked for me.

- And our Opava flat? - Ah, the flat

Furnish it and I�ll come back to it.

- What shall I do without you? - It's much nicer in Opava.

....

There's the concert.

Take Jana to Jelinek's.

And to the theatre. Parties too.

One minute, Klara.

Mr. Fredycky.

- Is everyone here? - They're waiting for you, Mr. Mayor.

Klara, we'll talk later.

So, Mr. Mayor is here today?

A rare visitor now.

....

Robert has been transferred to Prague.

He's Section Chief now.

That's wonderful. Congratulations.

....

....

These robbers! These paid thieves!

You'll pay for that lamp

To the devil.

Who are you cursing?

Stop raging and tell your beads

....

Can't a body curse her shoe?

....

....

I�ll pay for your rotten lamp.

Work must be a labour of love.

Robert can always tell our sauerkraut.

Bring more.

....

Jana!

....

What's wrong?

You�re overdoing it, Auntie.

Martina'll do it for you.

No, she won't.

It's my job.

- Auntie, I�ll fetch the doctor. - No.

No doctor. I�m not ill.

Only...

Terribly frightened.

You're just tired. You'll be ok soon.

We�ll go to Opava, to the flat

....

You don't you count the days.

Robert�s been gone 10 weeks.

Nine weeks there's been no letter.

Perhaps there'll be one tomorrow.

You don't know...

What scheming women are in these offices.

But, Auntie...

Stepfather loves you!

He loves me.

He does love me. Doesn't he?

Go on playing.

My favourite song.

I thought Robert had come.

Auntie, please lie down.

You miss Robert, too. Don�t you?

Play on! Play.

Who's that?

My Babykins.

What a surprise! My precious. Welcome back.

Welcome home!

Meantime, the news

I�ve sold the mill...

To old Gregory.

....

It's paid off everything, Bobby

Ties - including the mortgage

Jana, bring the Sunday plates. And a glass.

And who's going to rent the house?

Our neighbour

....

....

And - another bit of news

Jana, go play the song

No, Auntie - please

Why not?

I can't play well enough

You play it well enough

Jana is shy

Not with me

When we're in Opava. Jana will play

Spoiling such an evening. You goose.

Trust me, Jana.

Have patience. wait.

And I never shall be thine

Wed to thee I cannot be!

My brother knows the stars above

He'll help me find your star, my love...

My beloved she must be

....

I've got a brother, too. A fortune teller.

As soon as we get the flat.

But when will that be?

In the spring.

Evenings we'll go for walks in the park.

And on Sunday's to Jelinek's for chocolate.

That'll be living, Bobby

I can't bear life without you.

....

Klara I must go.

Say goodbye to Jana.

Jana, I love you.

....

....

....

7,850... 8,300

- This one? - 10,200

The drawing room

How about his one, Madam?

Too dull! Something a lot brighter.

Show me this.

Jana, wait till Robert sees this.

Bobbykins has written.

Robert�s not coming back.

He's staying in Prague another six months...

Six months!

I know what�s behind this. Robert is deceiving me.

- There's a woman. - Auntie!

Why did I let him go...

Oh, why did I let him go!

- Robert has a girl in Prague. - That's not true.

One of those painted hussies.

- It's not true! - Stupid obstinacy

Never called a doctor, eh?

Never admit there's anything wrong with her.

....

....

Quiet, madam, quiet

A day or two and you'll be up and about.

You'll see in the morning.

And you, Miss. Get some rest.

The old women can sit with her.

- It's all my fault. - It's sclerosis, nobody's fault.

There now. good night.

Lay there, my lady.

Now you can't order us around.

No tree grows to heaven, eh?

Time you learned your lesson, my lady.

To bed.

If necessary, I�ll call you.

Everything's aright.

Robert won't notice anything.

I�m good miller's stock.

....

Welcome, Babykins.

Welcome home.

How I�ve waited for you.

....

Do you still love me? Do I still look nice?

I hear Mr. Mayor is back.

Mr. Mayor must be pleased.

Yes.

And you? Aren't you pleased?

Yes.

My heart's breaking.

I can't keep living a lie.

And what...

About my feelings?

Stepfather! send me away!

Now that you're everything to me

Jana! I love you!

You'll see, life will solve our problem.

Jana, don't leave me.

Don't leave me, Jana.

At last we're together again.

At last we can live like a normal family.

Robert, I feel you'll go still higher.

Even be Governor-General

Yes, Bobby...

We might move again.

That grand house with...

- The great big balcony. - Klara, please.

So this is to be our fault.

This'll be the dining room.

Here we'll have a potted palm.

How our neighbours'll envy our curtains.

- What's that? - Telephone to the bathroom, Ma'am.

Telephone to the bathroom.

The bathroom has green tiles, madam.

Green tiles!

- Jana, that's living! - We aim to please, madam.

I can't help it.

You don't understand, Jana.

You can't.

In 10 weeks

We'll move in... Opava!

Looking forward to it?

Petronila! Play!

Our whole family'll be there.

Robert'll be with us.

My Bobbykins! He loves me!

Yes, Auntie

Martina!

Petronila! Stop snoring!

Heavens! You're a fine pair.

I won't take that old devil.

I�ll get a young girl. In...

cap and an apron

She'll respect me and say Yes Mum...

And...

No, Mum.

Opava... What a life!

Governor-General calling.

The dining room, the new chandelier.

Our silver shining on the table.

Soon he'll be Governor-General, our Bobbykins.

The Governor-General

and his wife.

The chandelier...

The silver.

....

....

Stepfather! Stepfather!

Come on. Take this.

Nursing your aunt when you need a nurse yourself.

What do you do here? How do you live?

I help in the house, Doctor.

I cook, I nurse Auntie.

What are you? Cook? Nurse? Maid?

- It's all I know - All you know! You must learn!

This isn't a prescription. It's an address.

Dr Vyskocil. He was at school with me.

Lives in Brno,

with a secretary

I�ll write to him about you

Take it

- I can't go. - Can't? You must.

- Auntie needs me. - Leave her to me.

Well, what about it?

- I don't matter - That's what your aunt thinks?

- No go home and say - "Auntie, I am going to Brno".

No buts. Doctor�s orders.

Away from here. Double quick.

And where have you been?

- Auntie, I... - No! those palpitations again.

- Auntie. Bed. - Bed, that's the end.

- I�ll write to stepfather. - Don't dare.

The doctor will come. Your medicine.

Opava.

Once there...

I'll be alright.

Hurry! Hurry! The van... Tomorrow...

....

Petronila, help miss Jana.

The van, tomorrow.

That china...

Goes in the drawing room

That vase on the sideboard.

That candlestick, on Robert�s harmonium.

Martina! You shameless creature. I can see you!

Tomorrow, the van will be here.

....

....

- The missus. - She's asleep.

Have a pull. It'll do you good.

Stepfather! You must come.

I feel so alone

What am I to do?

Yes.

Yes.

Only a couple more days...

I�ll be back and everything will be all right.

- Goodbye. - I love you.

Jana, why don't you answer?

....

Coming, Auntie.

Where were you!

We're going to Opava and you just disappear?

I expected more gratitude. After all I�ve done.

Saved you from an orphanage.

Give you a home.

Cared for your future.

Beggar!

Drinking again! What are you gabbing at?

Get on! Get on!

You old devils! Get on with it

Get on! Get on! Get on!

Auntie!

Now shout, fine lady. Now rage and curse.

You�re silent now?

Stop raging and tell your beads.

Condolences.

And poor Jana.

Now she has nobody but you.

Time is a great healer.

You see, Jana, people are born...

People die, and life goes on.

I know what you�ve been through

It must have been dreadful for you

I realise that

What could I do? The minister wouldn't let me go.

But it's all past and done with.

Life has solved our problem.

We'll go away from here.

Theatre, parties... concerts.

Martina will bring the coffee.

What is it, Jana?

I'll never forget what you both did for me.

Aunt Klara, and you. Good bye.

What's happened, Jana?

But what could I do?

- I�m not blaming you. - You are!

Should I have left my sick wife? Who did so much for me?

We loved you from the very first day.

Let's forget everything and start afresh.

I don't love you any more.

Too late.
