Original subtitles

You are lucky. Listen.

- Doesn't it sound like a song? - What's that?

It's the virgins. Those who would like to be queens

and beat the doors of their waxen prison.

They try to break them,

but the others, the guards, sit up and fill the breaks.

Why don't they let them out?

Because they let only the one they chose for Queen out.

The others are kept in case something happens to that first one.

In a while, the drones will head for the water.

They caught up on us, can you see them?

What are they doing?

They are waiting for the Queen.

She'll come, and she'll rise high in the air with the drones, dancing,

and she will choose one.

Is this the Queen's dance?

This is the Queen's dance.

The weather spoilt it for us. Right, teacher?

Whatever the weather is though, it smells Spring.

Are you leaving tonight?

Yes, Spring begins earlier in the South.

See you later, Eleni.

And the bride's father? Anna, where's Spiros?

Come on Spiros!

He's coming, he's coming.

Smile please! It's a wedding.

I told you, auntie. The bridegroom serves at Crete, didn't I tell you?

-Would you like me to help you? -No thanks.

-What does your son studies? -Are you talking about me?

Stefanos, change the cassette.

What should I put, mama?

Anything you want.

A bird!

A bird...

Don't scare it.

Open a window.

I am leaving, Spiros. I am going to get ready.

You seem tired. Should we put it off?

Although the others will have finished by now.

No, no, I'll be on time.

He's gone.

What's up, mother?

What's up? I can't understand.

The tray with the glasses fell down.

Lucky charm! Lucky charm...

What's going on? Nobody dances here.

-Are you wet? -Only at the feet.

- Is it here? - Yes, can't you hear the music?

Hello. We just finished.

Are you the new one?

Yes. Everybody wanted to wish to their old teacher.

I wish them happiness.

Come up.

- How do you do, Nikos? - Fine, Sir.

They still haven't absorbed your resignation.

Come.

Spiros!

Where have you been?

They have been looking for you.

I can't understand you, father.

We are leaving.

(children's song)

Well, goodbye.

I'll call a taxi cab.

That was it.

What are you going to do?

I'll go to Athens with the kid, for a while.

Now with these exams...

he doesn't have time to take care of himself.

Afterwards...

I don't know.

I am considering selling the house

maybe I'll work again.

What have I done to you, Spiros?

Nothing.

Nothing...

Goodbye, Aris.

Goodbye!

From S.A.'s diary:

21st March.

Tare, clover, goose grasses...

...orange trees, bearberries thyme, savory.

The flower road, like father used to say.

At the coffee shop, right?

I forgot to congratulate you on your daughter.

I sell everything this year, I am tired.

Last year we were ten, right?

All these years chasing the flowers.

It started like every spring.

Raining since the day before yesterday.

Condition of the beehives, good.

Only the beehives 3, 4, 9, 20, 31 need to be changed.

Tendency for depopulation.

Aged Queens.

Somewhen, the start would be a celebration.

We counted ourselves.

Last year we were ten.

Now Giorgos says he's tired.

Start as every spring.

God speed you!

You park it wherever you want.

Where to?

Everywhere, as long as I get out of here.

I'll drop you on first chance.

Don't worry. Nobody's looking for me.

Do you have a cigarette?

Still here?

Are you hungry?

Come.

Don't worry, I've already said so, nobody is looking for me.

Do you want anything else?

Are you going away?

Will you take me with you?

I'm going to get some gas.

Are we there?

We are.

Will you send me away?

No, but we had said so.

Yes, we had say so.

And whoever says and unsays, the following Saturday he dies.

What?

Will you come back?

What do you want from me?

Well...

I have nowhere to go.

Shut the door.

Are you asleep?

Are you still here?

Can you open it for me?

I found a map of yours. And a course.

Are you going to these places?

It depends?

On what?

On the weather... and other things.

When are you leaving again?

I don't know yet.

I like it?

What?

This... Leaving.

Constantly leaving.

May I have one?

You don't talk much, do you?

If you want.

Alright daddy!

I'm out for cigars.

Can I take some money? I haven't a stiver.

Oh, were you asleep?

What a coincidence! I grew up with Mihalis.

I almost didn't recognise him.

Could he spend the night here?

He just got out of the army.

Alright?

No need to say that I didn't find any cigarettes!

Get some sleep if you wish. It won't take us long, I am tired.

Round up your things.

(children's song)

1.200

Last night you were 3 persons, Mr. Spiros.

Normally, the third person should pay as well.

The beehive... The wind is blowing.

Whoever is a friend, will drink with me tonight.

It's just this one.

I was keeping it for this occasion.

May I shut the shop?

He's always returning to the old years.

You know, his childhood years in Normandy.

His decision to come to Greece in 1948.

The years of prison afterwards.

I was waiting.

Through the window I watched the tree.

It was spring.

Then, of course, you had to come

... and have a drink with me.

How are you?

Good.

And Lola?

Let it down. We'll talk when you get out of here.

She goes...

- Come on, that's not why we're here.

She goes!

It's a good one...

One of the best!

Yes, it's one of the best.

One of the best!

More?

What's going on here?

It was not like that in old times.

How did you get in?

Let me see the sea once more.

We're not leaving. We'll wait for you outside. Don't worry.

The first time

it was a sunny day.

We were blinded by the infinite light.

None of our desires was hidden.

We were vainly looking for a shade.

What are you saying?

- Is anything wrong? - No!

Don't believe that I am what I am...

For two months I've been dreaming to see the sea again.

The sea!

And Anna? How's she doing ?

What are you up to?

Anna is adorable!

We all were in love with her then but he snatched her f rom our hands!

I felt disgusted at the time, you know... but...

I remember her.

At the school's first ball...

She was shining like... like a tree !

I remember you too...

when you were at school, lost amongst the crowd...

... you are the only one who went out as beekeeper...

... the only one who ended as a teacher ...

...a beekeeper...

...a beekeeper's son...

...with a beekeeper grandfather! That's a whole generation !

And him...

...he made money...

Me... I'm only a small rendez-vous with History.

Do you regret it?

No, it's right on this spot...

...that we could some other time..

...change the world!

Hey! Hey, you!

Hey, you there!

Hey, you inside! Hey, you outside !

It's cold...

Who's coming with me first?

It's cold...

30th March.

Condition of beehives:

1-30: Good.

31-40: Thin population.

41-45: Empty beehives.

Petty purchases: Medicine, sugar.

In Lamia I saw Demitris from far. He disappeared in the crowd.

3-6 April:

Lokri, Istiaia, Atalanti.

Disorder in the beehives.

Continuous movements.

I can't keep up with the orange trees.

In the latest days I've been constantly losing populations.

17 April:

I found an old picture of Maria's christening.

Anna would say laughing back then:

"Don't worry about her..."

"She's a Capricorn, she'll find her own way."

When she went away, I realised that.

Maria, Maria, how did everything went wrong.

What happened? Where have you been?

Did I do something to you?

What a stubble is that!

Hang on.

I looked for you afterwards, you were gone.

But I knew I'd find you, here or there.

Gianenna, Tsaritsanh, Andritsaina...

Do you remember the map?

I was loitering.

Here or there...

You know...You're the only one to have treated me so well.

Nobody else.

I missed you.

I am late.

I came to get you.

insert text

Sit down.

I came to get you, Anna.

The child will come soon.

Just a moment.

Let me see you in the light.

Just a moment.

Goodbye.

Where are we going.

To the map's other end.

Not like this!

Not like this!

Not like this!

Hi, father.

How so?

I was just passing by.

Will you come inside?

I don't want to disturb.

Let him grumble.

I would come to the wedding.

I had sown a dress.

He wouldn't let me. He's from Mani, he doesn't forget.

We'll make an expansion for a super market at this side.

- We have work to do, don't we? - Get off my back.

Won't you sit down?

I wanted to apologise for then.

When you went away.

I've buried it.

I should have apologised many years ago.

I owed it to you.

Did you pay the bill?

Will you be late? I am frozen.

This requires some music.

What's wrong with you, father?

What's happening to you?

27th April:

If somebody should ask me, a woman maybe,

"Who are you? What do you want?".

I'll say: "Nothing. I was just passing by."

I lived here... Many years ago.

Is this the map's other end?

I'm hungry.

Go at the canteen and get something to eat.

I'll be back at once. Take the suitcase.

Will you be late?

(children's song)

(continues)

I am drunk.

You abandoned me and I got drunk.

Mr. Remember, look at me for a second.

I can't remember anything.

Who's that?

- Spiros! - Yes.

Yoy're back, like the old dog.

Have you seen how "Pantheon" ended up?

My siblings want to sell it.

They say that it's closed anyway.

But I won't let them.

I come for maintenance every day

here, at the old one. I am coming down.

WHen was the last time? It was the carnival again, right?

Come on, let's go home.

Can I spend the night here?

In here?

Can I?

Won't you come home? The old lady will be disappointed.

What happened?

Can I?

Alright.. I am not asking.

Are we staying here?

It's better there. It's wooden.

In the booth there is space just for a twiggy like me.

As if we have robbed a bank.

We didn't have time to say anything.

Will I see you?

Look what I found.

My father's old mask.

You went there?

Did you see...desolation.

Do you have a cigar?

I won't see you, will I?

Why are you so sad?

Not for me, I know.

Sing me a song.

I don't know many.

One!

What's that?

I forgot the lines.

Sing another.

I don't know another.

Dress me.

I am very tired.

Let me go.

Let me go!

Let me go!

What time is it?

Did you get dressed?

I am ready.

Let me go away.
