Jonas!

Yummi, yummi, yum, I like to live in my dream...

Jonas!

Hello!

No, we still need this.

It’s OK.

Show me your report card!

- Taste good? - Yeah.

Oh, Jonas!

Wow, this is really good!

This summer we're all going to Aunt Anne's at the sea!

Yay!

Why?

You can't stay at home alone, can you?

Then grandpa can pick me up with the truck!

Grandpa has enough problems of his own.

And so do I. Please don't make any problems.

I want to see grandpa!

Angel, without Papa it's impossible.

Elias, put that down.

Change your clothes first!

I want to go to grandpa, too.

You're too small!

I was already six when Papa took me rafting!

You can't even swim!

Hey, stop it!

Oh my sweetie, sweetie.

Everything's OK.

Look, we'll get this off. It's ok, my darling!

You're always making trouble!

What? But Elias started it!

Jonas, come on!

Put that back!

Jonas!

Bernard,

please

could you

pick up

Jonas tomorrow

at the train station

in Trencin?

Thank you,

Beate.

Hello, Beate, I wasn't expecting this.

It's too short notice.

Shit.

I know

but this is

an emergency!

I hope nothing bad happened.

Ok, I'll be there.

We'll talk more then.

Yes!!!

Hello, Mama, I'm with Max.

I'll be back tonight.

I've already eaten.

I've already eaten.

Did you see Jonas leave the house?

OK, but be back by 2.

We want to buy swimming stuff, right?

Grandpa!

How are you, you big rascal?

Where's your mama?

She had to go to the hospital with Elias.

I see.

That means you've come alone?

Yeah. Where is your truck?

I came by train.

That old thing's a wreck.

Come, the next one's leaving soon.

Bernard!

- Hello. - Hello!

-Is that your grandson? -Yeah.

Nice to be retired, huh?

You're retired?

I have to go.

Why don't you stop by on Saturday?

Your colleagues miss you!

Bye, grandson!

Wow! That's really cool!

Retired people have tons of time!

We'll spend the whole summer on the river! Like we used to, with Papa!

We'll be home soon.

Don't you want to use the bathroom?

OK.

Those toilets are really wild.

What's wrong with Elias?

Well, he... He's allergic to concrete.

I see, allergic to concrete.

Millions of people become allergic to concrete.

This is taking forever.

We'll be there soon.

Sorry!

- Hello! - Hello.

Where did all the flowers come from?

- Our new neighbour. She's a hippie! - Really?

Yeah, she plants flowers everywhere

and throws a tantrum when the cats leave their little gifts for her.

Hello, girls!

This place is a mess.

Why don't you clean up?

I caught this fish for you yesterday!

It was as big as you...

and twice as heavy!

Yeah, right.

And it was breaded when you caught it, right?

Well, of course.

Around here we catch only breaded fish.

What are you doing?

Leave it be.

I'm really looking forward to the boat.

The old one, from Papa.

The one you saved for me.

Saved for you?

Yeah.

When you came to visit, you told me

we were going to take it out again, together.

That was shortly after the funeral.

I said a lot of things back then.

Why aren't you eating?

I am a vegetarian.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I had no idea.

What are we going to do about it?

I'll have the breading and you get the fish.

Luckily, all the fish in our town come breaded

otherwise, you'd starve.

Let me help you.

You go to bed with your shoes on?

What? To bed?

It's not late, I can't sleep yet.

Okay, then call your mother and tell her

you've arrived safely. Or should I do it?

No no, I'll do it!

Okay. I’ll be right back.

Subject:

Your inquiry for the position of electrical engineer...

Dear Mr. Balog.

Currently there are unfortunately

no positions available.

Dear Beate!

You can't imagine

how happy I am

that you allowed

Jonas to come and visit.

I've been looking forward

to seeing him

for a long time!

And tomorrow we'll take

the boat out on the water.

Warmest regards,

Bernard.

Want to finally go boating?

Excuse me?

Go out on the boat!

Stop talking about the boat...

I've hardly woken up.

- Hello, Jonas. - Hi.

I'm really sorry about your father.

How are you?

Well, I'm pretty hungry at the moment.

We can fix that right away.

How about a langosh and a soda?

What's your name?

Alex.

- And yours? - Me? Jonas.

You've got to be kidding, I can't break that.

But I want my money back.

Of course.

Keep your money.

Thanks, Kubo!

He's never given me anything for free!

And... What's with your father?

Nothing.

Open the door!

Grandpa, open up!

Would you open up!

Maybe he's sleeping.

What's going on here?

His grandpa's not opening the door.

Grandpa!

Mr. Balog!

František, call the police.

Mr. Balog!

My God,

is he dead?

Excuse me.

Grandpa?

Grandpa?

What's going on?

Are bananas on sale?

Is everything all right?

No!

There are fifty people parading in my flat!

Grandpa, just open the door next time!

Great, now we get to write a report about it.

How could you scare us all like that?

Come, honey, time to go home.

Get up!

Let's go get the boat!

We can't go rummaging through the attic on the weekend.

Old Ms. Schmittke is drying her laundry there.

In the attic?

Yes.

Uh, can I take that bottle?

Yes.

There's more in the kitchen.

Jonas will help you.

Come on.

That's a lot!

Why doesn't he bring them back?

And take the keys.

What are you saving up for, anyway?

I want to buy a gaming console.

What kind?

Doesn't matter.

It's just important I have one.

Just like everyone else.

How much have you saved up?

Nearly fifty.

Fifty?

Euros?

That'll get you a couple old games, if you're lucky,

but not a console.

Ok, maybe one from the stone age.

Cool!

Did you build this yourself?

Yeah.

Wait, but grandpa said...

Nobody hangs their laundry in this filth!

And definitely not in summer.

Hey, stop it!

Wow, the attic is so full of laundry!

Scrambled eggs are vegetarian, right?

Yes.

This is a plate from yesterday!

Is it possible you didn't do the dishes?

What?

Me?

Hold on, I'm still a child.

While we're at it, should I change your diaper, too?

Or are you done with potty training?

You're the adult. You're supposed to take care of me.

I'm not going to clean up after you like your mommy!

Let it be. We'll do it later.

Cleaning up is not really your thing, is it?

And what do we eat with?

Hey, what's that? You've got it all over your t-shirt!

Did you only bring one shirt?

Or do they all look alike?

Didn't your mom help you pack?

No...

Everything happened so fast, in a hurry.

In a hurry?

Being allergic to concrete... It's not to be taken lightly.

True.

At first I asked myself

if perhaps you'd written this email by yourself.

But you would never do anything like that.

Or did you just run away?

But no, hundreds of policemen would be looking for you,

with dog squads,

and with...

helicopters,

you would even be in the newspapers.

Or it could also be,

that no one misses you at all?

What's the matter?

Hello, Jonas!

Hello, Mama. I'm with Grandpa, in Handlova.

I know. Grandpa wrote me.

As far as I'm concerned, you can stay until Santa comes.

Jonas, if there isn't anything else, I'll hang up.

I have to pack. We're leaving tomorrow for the coast.

Where are you off to?

The attic, of course.

Didn't you say it was full?

Nobody dries their laundry in the attic.

You lied to me!

Oh, please. How could I?

Just admit you don't want to look for the boat!

The boat, the boat.

Like I need a boat!

I have no interest in being on a boat.

And I don't need to go fishing anymore.

And swimming, absolutely not.

I don't need a water park, or anything like that!

The only thing I need is to be left alone!

And that's exactly what I wrote your mother.

Well then, come.

Where was this taken? I can't remember at all.

That's not you, it's your father when he was little, with me.

It's not up here.

Damn.

Maybe it's in the closet?

In the closet are only old railway magazines.

You can see, the boat is not here, get it?

But it has to be somewhere!

No.

I gave it away.

To children...

What do you mean, you gave it away?

You gave away my dad's boat?!

I wasn't sure that...

I will ever see you again.

It's hot as hell up here.

I feel dizzy.

Come, Juray, let's go to the lake.

I'm not Juray!

My mom can be embarrassing sometimes, too.

That's what old people are like.

It's classical menopause.

My mom is super mad at me.

Why?

I ran away from home.

Wow. Cool.

No, it's not cool at all.

My grandpa promised we'd go boating like we used to.

The way we used to do with dad...

But now he doesn't want to do anything anymore!

He's against...

everything!

He acts as if Dad never existed.

How about you? Do you have a dad?

Sure I do.

But Mom never wants to see him again

and I don't even know him.

What? Is he mean?

No. It's something else.

But she won't tell me.

Why?

I'm just not supposed to ask her about it.

Do you ever feel like you just don't belong?

Different from others?

I don't think you're so weird.

Does that mean I'm super weird?

Look, Bernard!

Hello, Bernard!

You want one, too?

So, how's retirement going?

It's dragging along, how else?

Is that his son?

His grandson! High five!

His son is older than you.

I mean was.

A cute guy like that could have married again.

Him?

He's married with the railroad.

Well, he was.

Actually, Grandpa has a girlfriend!

What?

It's true! She's looks great, they might get married soon!

The old dog is keeping secrets!

Bring her around next time.

Have you lost your marbles?

I just wanted to help you.

They were making fun of you!

How does a man my age find a wife?

I'm more likely...

I'll get hit by frozen astronaut pee from outer space.

I'm going to check my e-mail.

Okay, okay.

My Dear

Giselle.

I am…

How old am I?

I am

as old

as a retiree,

but I certainly

look older.

I am

a sporty kind of guy,

and vegan cooking

is my specialty.

And, I know

how to repair a train as well.

In my spare time

I catch fish

that are already breaded.

I hope to hear

from you

soon.

Lovely Greetings,

your grandpa.- No!

Bernard.

Hello!

Hello!

Here's your tofu.

We'll make it tomorrow.

What are you doing?

I'm dusting.

I've been thinking about the boat.

It's simple, we'll buy a new one!

That's enough!

There will be no new boat, it's far too dangerous.

Especially for kids!

But,

didn't you say

you gave Papa's old boat to some kids?

It doesn't matter who I gave it to!

To be clear, I don't want another boat.

Not Juray's

or any other!

End of discussion!

Then I shouldn't have come here at all!

Then go back to Dresden,

if you care more about the damn boat than about me!

You just don't get it!

You're the one that doesn't get it!

You think the whole world revolves around you!

-Hello, Jonas! -Elias, let me talk to Mama.

Mama, I'm sorry I ran away.

Ok.

I'm coming home. I'll be back tonight.

Jonas, that's not possible! We already passed Berlin.

Come on, you fought so hard for this summer at grandpa's!

Now make something of it.

And call me if you need anything!

What? You can't do this to me!

Leave me alone!

Why can't I let my hair grow?

Because you don't comb them. That's why!

And we are not here in Jamaica!

You are so stupid!

Excuse me?

You are so stupid!!

I didn't hear that.

Even when you're wearing a skirt, you look like a boy.

I was kidding! You are beautiful!

Oh, just shut up!

Come with me.

That one looks cool, is it the one you want?

Yeah, but I only have fifty.

Wait... I can lend you my fifty.

If I could do magic, I would give you a hundred.

But I can't.

- Hello! - Good day.

They have a sale at Supertex!

- On everything? - Yes.

Will you finish watering the flowers?

All of them!

So, what now?

We can buy your baby boat.

No.

Making money can't be so hard.

Like what?

“Hocus Pocus, on the moat I need five euros for a boat."

Hey, give this to your mother. I took a couple flowers.

"Abracadabra, I have a plan, put two-hundred in my hand."

There's a bean soup.

It's still warm.

I hope you like white beans.

Papa used to make it, too.

He basically couldn't cook anything else.

Instead of learning to cook,

he became a vegetarian.

He enjoyed farting as much as I do!

Hello, madam. Flowers!

Five euros.

- Hello! - Would you like some flowers?

They're very beautiful!

How much are they?

Two for 10.

- Hello. - No, thanks.

Ten euros for both.

Some flowers?

- Yes!! - Yeah!

Fifty...

Fifty-five.

Plus my 50...

Fifty-five plus fifty. Makes 105!

I have 49,94...

that makes...

Wait a second... 154,94!

My flowers!

Who did this to me?!

Who did this to me?!

It's not possible.

Who was it?!

You little devil!

-What's wrong? -What's wrong?!

You hacked my e-mail!

On top of that, you signed me up to some stupid forum!

You save your password, you didn't log off.

So what?

That's not “hacking”. That's “accepting an invitation”!

And I trusted you!

I'm sorry. I just wanted to find you a wife.

What?

For thirty years I've been fine without a wife.

What do I need a wife for?

Well, if you don't know that.

Did she write back?

Yeah.

Dear Bernard.

I like your sense of humour.

What else did she write?

That's it.

Really not much.

What should I do now? Should I thank her, or what?

Dear...

Giselle

Wait, what does she look like?

No idea.

You're arranging a date for me

and you don't know what she looks like?

How am I supposed to know?

You want to send me in blind?

There's nothing to laugh about.

This is going to be a surprise.

Maybe there's a photo here somewhere.

Most likely when she was still twenty.

Let's get on with it.

Ok, but maybe she's a man.

Look!

Great. Eight cents.

Hey look, we can rent it!

And in a few days we'll have the money for the boat.

And also for your console.

Fine. But kids can't rent a shop.

We can say that your mother sent us.

A flower shop is perfect for her.

And she'd get her flowers back.

OK.

I´m in.

Ms. Schmittke?

Let's go.

Ms. Schmittke?

My mom would like to rent your kiosk.

There's still 50 euros missing.

Why is he carrying around your mother's money?

For safety.

- Listen here, Juray. - Jonas..

Jonas.

I am sure you're up to something!

I wasn't born yesterday.

Your mother can come tomorrow and pick up the keys.

And to sign the contract.

Can't we just have the keys now?

We've already paid.

No, you can't.

Please, auntie Zuza!

I'm not your auntie! I'm just Zuza.

Please, "Just Zuza".

We could start cleaning it right away!

Listen here, I know well enough you are up to no good!

You're just like your father!

And your grandpa, too!

He was the one who told that rascal

to tie all my stockings into a wreath!

What rascal?

Your father, of course.

Juray.

Thanks.

Your mother still has to come by to sign that contract.

She's going to love this place!

She has always wanted a shop, just never trusted herself.

"Too risky, I don't have a car..."

Just blah blah blah.

Grandpa has one, a truck.

And what are we supposed to sell?

Flowers, of course!

Oh sure, bird-brain.

We're out of money!

I'll come up with something.

Grandpa? I have an interesting investment for you.

Grandpa! It's about the old Kiosk from Ms. Schmittke.

I have a date tomorrow.

With Giselle?

Yes.

A mysterious woman who comes wearing a hat.

And she's also from Handlova.

She also loves crime novels,

just like me.

Well, that was before I had a computer.

And yes, my boy, she's a woman!

No doubt.

But you can't meet her dressed like this!

Why not?

If she falls in love with me,

she'll also love me in my underwear!

Where's my...? Oh, here!

We're undercover on a secret mission.

It's called: Operation…

Cool Grandpa!

Thirty-five euros, please.

I didn't know trainers could be so comfortable.

Grandpa, they're sneakers, not trainers!

Sneakers?

Is that you?

You stole my flowers,

and you have the nerve to offer them on a date?

Can I get you something else?

I'll have another one.

Boy, what’s up?

Boy, when are you going to grow up?

Did you really have to do this?

It was quite clear it wouldn't work.

Boy, what’s up?

You won’t be rewarded for this,

I have to tell you everything again, because...

I am a single father of the child in me.

...this is how it starts all over again.

Giselle!

Open the window!

Man, would you shut up!

Giselle...

Stop it!

My Giselle!

Open your window!

Are you completely smashed, or what?!

Have you no respect?! What's the idea

shouting about waking my child!

Forgive me!

Go to bed!

All of you!

Sleep, my heart

and sweet dreams...

How embarrassing!

Good morning!

- Morning… - What about the investment?

What investment?

Delivering flowers to the kiosk.

What's with everyone and flowers all the time?

Whose flower stall is it?

Well, officially, Alex's mom.

What!

No way, forget it.

What's coming next?

You're going to set me up with old Ms. Schmittke?

Then it won't be flowers anymore, but instead an old apron shop.

Sure, why not? 80s fashion is back.

Listen,

operation "Cool Grandpa" was fun,

but you made a complete fool out of me!

Now I can't show my face in the streets.

You made a fool out of yourself.

Come down!

What? Did you tell her?

No. She thinks your grandpa did it.

Then we have a real problem.

Grandpa is refusing to cooperate,

because of what happened yesterday.

Do you think if we tell them the truth, they'll make up?

Red cherries, red cherries come only once a year.

They're healthy and make you happy.

Mama, these are mirabelle plums.

Mirabelles, mirabelles, for everyone.

I think there's only one way out of this mess.

Everywhere are these big flower pots. We'll just take those.

They belong to the city! We can't do that!

If they belong to the city, they belong to all of us, right?

Or do you have a plan B?

Perhaps Ms. Schmittke will give us the money back?

Yeah, perhaps. But even if she did, everything would be ruined.

The boat, your mother’s flower stall – all of it would be lost!

Listen, we'll only do it once.

Then we'll have money and can buy flowers ourselves.

I don't understand why girls are such wimps.

What? That's bullshit!

Outside the house at 11?

Stop messing around and hurry!

Quiet!

- What the hell happened here? - Are you blind?

Maybe we should've used a bucket with water?

Bucket? See any buckets here, smart-ass?

Calm down! It's not the end of the world!

Yes, it is! All the money is gone!

I even stole from my mother!

My money's gone, too. Besides, it's just money! It's not so bad.

"Not so bad"?!

For that money we could buy food for six weeks!

Ok, I'll figure something out.

Fine, but without me! I just wanted a friend.

You only think about yourself and your idiotic boat!

Let me go!

Stop it!

Jonas?

Are you sick?

Does it matter?

What's the matter?

Nothing.

I don't see anything wrong with you.

Your nose always looked like a carrot!

And you have a pumpkin nose.

Come on, get up.

You want to get an ice cream?

So you lied to me?!

You've had the boat this whole time!

Okay, I propose

from now on we will be honest with each other.

Right, I'll start.

It's true.

I've had the boat this whole time.

It's been in the closet, up in the attic.

I ran away from home.

- Hm, I knew that. - Really?

And? Is there anything else you want to tell me?

No. And you?

Well,

the truck is not broken at all.

I just don't want to drive it.

I don't feel so good...

recently.

I know.

I don't, either.

Hear that bird? That's a loon.

A loon? As in lunatic?

Try harder!

Keep going!

Well done, keep it up!

This is great!

It is, isn't it!

Keep going!

Look there!

Careful!

Watch out!

- Are you OK? - Uh huh.

We're not moving from the spot!

Stop nagging! You're worse than your grandma.

My grandma?

Yeah.

I wonder what she'll say when I get to heaven,

and she sees I've grown into an old fart.

When I think about it,

Papa and Grandma must be about the same age in heaven.

Yeah, they would be, in theory.

But I think there's no heaven.

It's just a story people tell themselves

so they're not afraid of death.

Are you afraid?

Everyone is afraid.

But some people don't want to admit it.

So they hide it behind other fears.

They have irrational fears of... spiders and such.

Your dad was afraid of water as a child.

Papa was afraid of water?

So I bought him this boat,

and told him,

if you don't overcome your fear you'll never fully enjoy life!

And then he became national champion. Twice.

Later he wasn't afraid of anything.

Not even of those stupid world record attempts.

As a father, I completely failed.

You didn't force him...

to go down that waterfall. That was his choice.

And so nothing like that would ever happen again,

I didn't want you in a boat ever again.

Why didn't you just tell me?

You were so sad,

and I was drunk.

You didn't drink so much before.

"Before, before..."

"Before" we lived in caves and hunted mammoths.

Grandpa, you have to stop.

Really!

For millions of years or billions, plants have had to defend themselves...

in the same way women do- with poison.

What are you rambling about?!

Jonas!

Jonas!

Jonas!

Jonas!!!

Jonas!

Jonas.

Jonas...

Hey, Alex.

Hello. Ms. Flowerly?

Yes.

Your boys were spotted stealing flowers from public property.

And you own a flower shop!

I don't have a shop.

And I don't have any boys.

I have a daughter, and she doesn't steal.

And neither do I! - Hello.

Here comes our flowers expert! Ask him.

I didn't steal the flowers.

I found them!

Sure, of course you did.

They came flying in through my window!

Alright. You'll be coming with us.

Why? Why? Get your hands off me!

My grandson's here! I can't leave him alone!

Please, officers, I didn't mean to accuse him!

Let's go home! Hurry up!

Damn it!

Alex!

Jonas? Make it quick, we're going to the beach.

There's a Neptune baptism for all the kids!

It'll be a lot of fun.

Mama... I get it. You're angry with me.

And you're about to be even angrier.

What did you do now?

I stole some flowers.

And now grandpa's in prison because the police thinks he did it.

What?!

Jonas?

Why don't you just go there and tell them the truth?

What if they put me in jail?

That's not going to happen.

Now go over there right now and then call me back.

I love you.

I love you, too, Mama.

And please, don't be mad anymore.

I'm not angry anymore.

Now go and call me from there straight away.

OK?

There's only one way out of this mess.

You have to invest in the flower shop.

Listen up, young man!

I'm wondering whether to tear you apart right now or later.

Sorry. Got any other ideas?

First we have to clean up the mess.

At last.

Ah, lovely!

I think we'll take 200 of those.

I'm sorry I screwed everything up.

What do you mean?

Everything's now going according to your stupid plan.

No, that's not what I mean.

What I mean is, that I messed up with you.

I'm really sorry, believe me.

Just don't ever try to convince me to do something I don't want to do.

Otherwise I'll never convince my mom to do what...

she wants to do.

Bye, Jonas! Bye, grandpa!

He's not your grandpa! Good night!

Bye.

I hereby declare you Kiosk Man and Kiosk Woman.

- Promise I can rely on you. - Of course.

And please, no more opera under my window!

I'm signing up for singing singing singing classes!

From the basement hatch,

into the staircase!

With every step,

further up to the roof!

Up on a ladder

on a joint mission

and a little further,

a little further towards the moon!

Towards the moon!

I like the idea

to see the earth from above,

and all us billions of people

revolving around the same point...

An idea that I like,

from the center, the center of the world.

From the center, the center of the world.

Jonas!

Mama!

Oh, my darling!

Jonas!

Hello!

Hello.

Why are your cell phones off?!

It's a long story.

And that's why you traveled all the way from the Baltic Sea?

"Traveled" is the right word.

First the car broke down, then the tow truck didn't come,

I had no cell connection, my battery was empty...

Oh! Luckily, no one kidnapped you.

And where is Elias?

He has a severe concrete allergy,

and needs to be on the beach all day long, poor little guy.

You've been kidding me all this time?

How long are you staying?

We're going back tomorrow.

This here is a vegetarian fishing rod, with ribbons!

And what if fish still bites?

You know, I’m slowly getting used to you.

It's kind of like... how can I explain?

That we miss my dad less when we're together?

Yes.

Say, if your grandfather marries my mother...

will I be your sister?

My uncle!

Will you come visit me?

Of course.

We'll go to Dresden,

on the coast.

It'll be mega giga epic!

Wow! Frozen astronaut pee!

It's a falling star.

You should make a wish.

You only make trouble!

Hip hip hooray the sun shines on our belly,

The summer has set the table with everything you need

and you know, tomorrow, we'll go on a boat trip.

Nowhere else do I want to be

without each other, what would we be...

Sun shine, shine, shine and make

forever summer and forever holidays.

forever summer and forever holidays.

Hip hip hooray the sun is warm on our skin,

the smile is given and the flowers are stolen.

Ducks paddle on the pond, but our boat's still tied up,

happiness is now with everyone and anyone who dares

And you know tomorrow,

tomorrow we'll go on a boat trip. - Hey, hallo!

Nowhere else do I want to be

without each other, what would we be...

Sun shine, shine, shine and make

forever summer and forever holidays.

Forever summer and forever holidays.
