A film by Branko Schmidt

QUEEN OF THE NIGHT

The bridge is closed! Take the ferry.

HAIRCUT: 1 BEER. SHAVE: 1 BRANDY. NO CHARGE FOR THE DEAD.

You know I don't drink from green bottle.

It's the only one I've got. -Then give me brandy.

Directed by

OSIJEK - SUMMER 1968

Watch out!

Go, my son!

Mirko! Untie the ferry! Let's go!

If you are in a hurry, take the bridge.

Or get on your bike!

Just you wait, Mirko!

To hell with you and the horses and the bike!

It's always my fault, Vilena.

Do this, do that!

Go on.

One day I'll cut the cable and goodbye!

Comrade Tito is coming to Osijek for the Cup Race.

You'll shit your pants when they come from Zagreb.

From Belgrade and from Split!

You'll shit like chickens. So, tell me, who's coming?

Comrade Tito, comrade coach.

And who'll give the start?

Comrade Josip Broz Tito!

You mustn't embarrass us in front of comrade Tito!

Go home now! I want you all here tomorrow!

You stay, Tomo.

Blow! I said, blow!

I haven't been smoking. -So I see.

What happened? -I got cramp.

What?! You only get cramp if you're slack in training!

Tomo, your mind in only on girls. Only you...

Only you can win it for us. But not like this!

This is Radio Osijek.

And now, music for the young.

Two balls of ice cream for an egg.

Get down! They'll catch you.

What did Iveša want? -Nothing. I rowed badly.

Need strength? I'll sell it to you.

Get off! -Large one 100, small one 50.

Four words. -One.

She's explaining it. You're blowing.

You're hot. -You're happy.

A storm... -Gone with the wind.

Well done, Betika.

Stupid cow! -Whore!

Look at that ass, pal! -Look at her.

Like B.B. -What? -Brigitte Bardot. -Listen!

Would you give her one? -Yes. -He would,

but he needs mommy's permission!

Vlasta, let's go for a swim.

Which one do you fancy? -I don't know.

What do you mean? Look at them. -Jasna.

I like Vlasta. -I fancy Betika best. -She'd eat you alive.

I wish! -Have you got it? -Large or small?

I'll have one. -Give me a large one.

Training's over? -Give me a large one as well.

Smells good. -First rate. -Straight in from Bombay.

Do they really have a TV set at the dance? -Yes.

Can I come with you? -No. -I only want to watch television.

You'll go next time.

Tomo! -It's only from rowing. -Shall we go to the doctor?

No. -I think we should. -No!

Dr. Pecar said we would have to treat it sooner or later.

Mum, when are we going to buy a TV set?

And before finish I fell over Vilena's head.

I blacked out. I don't remember a thing.

Afterwards they said Vilena's left leg went.

You keep going on about that, Mirko. -I feel sorry for Vilena.

At least he's been left out to stud.

That's something. -Now he's after me.

It's not my job to drive my friends away.

Well said! -Dad! -My son! My champ!

He'll go in your footsteps. -Yes. What will you have?

A soda. -A soda for my Tomo! -Mum said you need to come home.

Everybody wants something. One day, I'll cut the cable and...

There'll be only you and me.

What is it?

Why are you all standing like statues? -Good question.

There you go.

I'm off, dad.

O.K. -I dropped by to see how you all are.

And how you're preparing for our Marshal Tito.

The enemy never sleeps.

You never know what shit might go down.

What do you say about that, Mirko?

Well, I say...

Andras, another drink!

Look at Jumbo go. -Yeah. Just like Hector.

My throat is playing up.

Why aren't you dancing? -Later on.

First rate, I tell you!

Kids! You come here, but you can't dance.

We can dance if you want. -Large one 100, small one 50.

You're really getting hot!

Jumbo, you pig! Feel someone else's ass!

You don't have to be afraid of that.

Rifle jeans. Came in yesterday from Trieste.

You're a good dancer.

Sorry!

They're pushing. Let's stand by the side.

Look at that!

A beer! -Zlatko! -What do you say?

Fuck! Rifle! -They're not too small for you? -Yours is small!

Gimme a soda! -Nice move. -At least I kissed her.

Nice tits. -Come on! She's flat as a board!

Jumbo got slapped for touching her ass. -What do you know?

Two beers. In green bottles.

Hi, my tomcats!

What an ass! -You get a hard on every time you see her?

And you don't? -When I get the money, I'm going to her.

Will you pay for me as well? -All right.

She won't give it to anyone for free. -How do you know?

Look at them! My junior team.

Nice. I'd like to see the senior team.

This is comrade Gordana. -Call me Goca.

She's come from Belgrade to help us with the show. -That's right.

Where's my wallet?

There you go...

Are you out of your mind? You should already be in bed.

Tomo! -Why? -The forces of the Warsaw Pact,

following the lead of the Red Army tanks, marched into Prague.

Mum, turn off the radio.

Tell me the story about the Queen of the Night.

I can't. I'm tired.

If we had a TV set, you wouldn't have to tell stories.

Shell I tell the story?

Go on.

In a land far away, far, far away...

In the thick rain forest of the Amazon,

somewhere deep underwater,

there is a plant called the Queen of the Night.

Many brave adventurers

set out to find it.

On the way, they came across many obstacles.

Only few have seen the Queen of the Night.

Although many have yearned to find it.

Nevertheless, some have indeed seen it.

But practically no one has ever seen it bloom.

It blooms only at night.

And only one single night in a whole year.

The flower opens with the full Moon.

And whoever sees it will enjoy good fortune all life long.

You! Keep your distance and unravel the banner!

Jumbo! Did you hear what comrade Gordana said?!

Keep your distance!

Are you deaf?! Distance! -What distance? -Your distance!

Look out!

Idiot! -This one's not green. -Was that good, comrade Goca?

Get the banner out! -Jumbo, you fool, get the boat out!

I don't know what's come over them. -It'll be fine.

The children will learn.

Two balls of ice cream for an egg!

Careful with it.

Don't wrinkle it! -Where do you want it? -The boathouse.

Dry it on the roof. -No! Not there.

On the roof! -Not there... -You heard me!

Come one! Hurry up!

There. Nice. -Not there! -Why not?

The roof is hot. It will dry soon.

Get to your boats for some training! Go!

Hurry up, Tomo! -You're so strict.

Only with the kids, comrade Gordana. Hurry up, Tomo!

You're not training? -I'm not into sports.

No? You're more into books? -Well, yes.

I like books too.

What a stench! -That's the horses.

Who's been shitting here? It's getting worse every day.

Jumbo's shit himself because of Goca.

The shit will be your undoing, pal.

No risk, no profit. -Let's go for a swim.

I have to do something. -What? You have to peel potatoes?

I will be peeling something else!

Wow, man!

Keys? Jasna's? -Yes. -lf Vlasta would only leave me hers...

You'd shit your pants and throw them into the river!

Go on!

What's this?

Who's shit himself?

Come here, Jumbo!

COMRADE TITO IS COMING

Where's your old man? -He'll be back tomorrow.

Then we have time.

For what?

Take it easy...

Do you want a puff? -Where did you get it?

I bought it from Zlatko. -Zlatko? Don't. It's...

Fuck! What a high!

It's high, all right! -Straight to the brain.

Want a drink? -What have you got?

Pear brandy! Cognac!

And beer!

Mix it all together in one glass.

Let's take a shower first. -A shower?

Aren't you taking all your clothes off?

Well?

You forgot your glasses.

What's wrong now?

Want a cup of coffee? -No.

Come on! It's no big deal!

What's not big deal? What?

My little tomcat.

Brandy?

Drink. You'll feel better.

Wow! Are you as good in everything you do?

What's wrong? Oh. Love...

You can tell me everything.

You think men come to me just for sex?

There's that. But most of the time they speak to me.

Only Betika never talks back.

She's paid to be silent. To listen. And not to have a soul.

Do you think whores have the right to have a soul?

Betika! Let's go!

Well, they do.

Who did you get drunk with? -What do you mean?

He can get drunk with half of Osijek.

I thought you had more sense! -I feel sick.

That's Rezika's ice cream!

I know who's been stealing eggs. -Mum, I have to poo-poo.

Go to the toilet! -Bring me my potty.

Come on. -No. Bring me my potty.

Son, what happened?

That's it! That's my boy!

Tomo, hold the plate so I can drain the blood.

It's always me.

Shut up. We'll be late for church. Hold it!

What's the deal with training on Sunday? -It's because of Tito.

Hold it level!

Mum, why don't you take a hatchet to it?

Tomo!

Dr. Primorac! He's awake. -What's his name?

Tomo Markovinovic. -Tomo...

Markovinovic? -Yes. -Well now...

Nurse, send his blood and urine for tests.

Have Janda check him thoroughly.

Markovinovic! -Can you pee?

Nurse, what is it?

We have to run some tests first. -Nada! What happened?

Like you care! You should move into the pub!

I was with Vilena. I haven't had a drop!

He just collapsed. Why? -Take it easy.

It was the booze and training. -Tomo must get well.

He has to row for Tito!

Boys! A new roommate for you!

You'll be here until we find a proper bed for you.

What? My child has a fever, and he can't get a bed?

Take it easy. -I really don't get it.

He's got a fever! -Why are you shouting?

This isn't your reactionary Home-Guard cavalry.

There are no privileges here. -I'm sorry, comrade Emil.

I know that the kid is a good rower.

Nurse, get Dr. Primorac. -Him?

This is Dr. Primorac's ward?

Mum, don't say anything.

But... -lf you say something, I won't speak to you again.

What's the problem? Put that cigarette out!

We need Dr. Primorac. Not you. Get your boss! -Jagoda!

Nurse, oxygen! Get out of here! All of you!

CLOSED

I've only got sugar for the horses.

I don't know who's shitting all around!

Everything is against me.

And my best rower didn't show up for training.

What are you reading, comrade Gordana?

Concerning socialist self-management...

It's a good book, I bet? -You're such a bore!

Where're you going?

Well, inspector? -No need to panic, comrade Goca.

I think I know who it is. -You think or you know?

I think I know. -I work well, I work fine.

A haircut for a beer, a shave for a brandy.

No charge for the dead.

There!

Anyone else? I'm at your service.

I work well, I work fine.

There, Tomo. A fresh bed for you.

It isn't cold yet! -The old man cooled it down!

Marjanovic, you have no respect for anyone, do you?

Tomo, get into bed.

Stop acting like a saint. We know that you...

And that guy... -That's enough, comrade!

Kid! What's the matter with you?

I'd say he overdid it while jerking off.

No. -How? -That's the way it is.

Jasna told me.

She's lying. -Why would she be lying?

He couldn't get it up!

What does that look like? -Look in your pants.

Maybe that's why he's in hospital. -I don't believe that.

Maybe they'll give him a plastic prick. -Jumbo!

You are something else. -Very smart.

I thought you weren't coming. -What is it?

What's so urgent? -I'd like to get to know you better.

You've been here 3 days. -Since you seem to be so eager,

comrade, I must tell you that you are not my type.

Goodbye!

I have to be home earlier tonight. -Can I come too?

O.K. But don't touch me.

You are really...!

Wormwood wine. Make it bitter.

Stop, comrade! Stop!

Don't, Miso. Someone might come. -I'll lock the door.

What an ass!

Don't... Are you crazy? -Yes!

Don't, Miso. -I'm crazy for you.

Don't you know how to knock?

Dr. Janda... Jesus! You are burning with fever. -I'm scared.

I can't sleep in that bed. -All right.

Come lay down here.

He'll be okay. Give him something for the fever.

Think about something nice and you'll sleep.

Come on, Mirko! Get us across! -I'll be late for work!

You'd like to ride, eh? -Yes, I would, comrade Zdravkovic.

So, you still like horses? -Of course I do.

And do you like shit? -What shit?

Horse shit, Markovinovic.

Where is he? -There. By the horse. -Listen to me...

If you put shit on the roof,

you'll be in deep shit! And no one will get you out!

Do you understand? Get out of here!

Kid! Fuck you! Let him go!

You with the shovel! Come here!

I want to talk to you.

Let's see how warm you are. -Come into my bed and

feel me. -I'd have to disinfect you first.

She's a real snake! -How are we today, boys?

Good. -And you, Marjanovic? -The catheter is unpleasant.

If it were pleasant, I'd have one put in.

What about you? -I'm fine. -You heard of the Cup Race?

He needs to get back into training. -The rowing can wait.

He needs to get well. Ljubice, get Janda.

Have him take x-rays of his stomach.

I don't think we understand each other.

We understand each other just fine, comrade Emil!

What? You didn't see me? -So what?

Some say go, some say wait. Can't please them all.

Two balls of ice cream for an egg.

Erzika! Get me a soda!

What are you doing, comrade? -Reading.

What book? -Mark Twain.

I'm reading too. For my M.A. in socialism. -Your M.A.?

Yes. Socialism and physical education. It's a nice thing.

You'd understand. You're not like these here.

I know that you know a lot. Especially about shitlovers.

Row rhythmically!

Fifty.

Now show me your wool.

Here's a hundred.

Please!

She's the best, pal!

Now the trick with the bottle.

What? -You know...

They said you like green bottles.

Oh, that trick with the bottle! Come closer.

Closer. Little more.

I won't get a clear shot.

It'll be clear now. Get out, wankers!

All right. -You should've asked me first.

Jagoda, Osijek is a backwater.

I have to think about my career. -You don't say?

What about me? You think only of yourself.

Zagreb has lots of cinemas, dancing-rooms

and hospitals. -I'm not leaving Osijek!

37.5 degrees. But the test results are good.

Does your leg still hurt?

Here? -A little higher. -Here? -Higher.

Here? -Yes, here.

You're strong. I don't see why it hurts.

What were you saying the other night? -Saying?

When you had a fever. About a queen of the night.

Is she a friend of yours? -It's a flower.

Really? -It's a story. A legend in fact.

Tell me the story. -No. It's silly. -Go on!

In a land far away... Somewhere deep underwater

grows a plant called the Queen of the Night.

Tomo, what is it?

It ended 3 minutes early.

Dinamo will be the champion. -The referee was crooked!

Same old story. Blame it on the referee.

No way Dinamo will beat Partizan.

Why didn't you come during visiting hours?

I don't like hospitals and doctors...

How's Vilena? -All right.

But, you know, this rowing cup...

They say a man gets only one chance in his life.

The trouble is that you can't recognize it.

And I blew my chance.

It's the same old story.

What I meant is... I thought that if

I could win in that race, it would mean a better life for us.

Your mother wouldn't have to be a charwoman...

To have chickens.

We could even buy the damn television set.

I wanted it so much that I overdid it.

I destroyed Vilena.

But that race was not my real chance.

My real chance was your mother.

And so, this cup...

If you don't row, it won't be the end of the world.

You couldn't get it up? -Quiet!

I don't get it. How couldn't you get it up?

You'll get a plastic one? -Shut up, Jumbo! -You are thicker than

Betika's crab lice! -She hasn't got them. -How would you know?

I know! -Stop it already!

Anybody want a walnut? -Me. -Me too. -I don't want it.

If anyone says a word after I get back from the hospital,

I'll fuck his... -With what?

If Vlasta knows, everybody knows.

What are you looking at me for? -Nothing.

Do any of your roommates smoke grass?

The old man, eh?

The Vinogradska hospital? -It's very good.

But before you go to Zagreb, you must do something for Osijek.

You name it. -The Markovinovic kid has to row for us.

Or we'll embarrass ourselves.

Primorac doesn't want us to release him.

He is showing off in front of the kid's mother.

He had a thing with her.

It's all right. -You stupid idiots!

O.K., O.K.

Give me my photos, you wanker! -You should stop now.

Some innkeeper! You should stop now.

Mirko... We can visit him at 10 o'clock.

I'm not going. -What? You're not going to visit your son?

Why? -You haven't dressed up like that in ages.

Give me another. -What do you mean? -You know perfectly well!

My little potty-boy! -Shitlover! -What have you done now?

Nothing! To hell with the ferry!

My husband is sick! -Yes. Sick in the head. Stop!

See who I brought for you, Markovinovic. A witness!

In today's show we'll listen to pop-groups from Osijek,

The Dynamites, The Avalanche and The Apaches.

A haircut for a beer, a shave for a brandy.

Nice. -What a woman! -Indeed nice.

Very nice. -That's why I drink beer only from green bottles.

Me too. What a fool I've been!

I've been spending my money on grass! And look at this woman!

What are you looking at? -Nothing.

You're one of those, are you? -They are not mine.

Yes, they are. He shot them. -You know what? -What?

Get lost, you pig!

Vlasta! Vlasta!

Our working class rules through worker councils.

The counter-class does not produces but

it's a part of the society too. -And federal principles in the

Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia?

Each republic has a representative...

Why did you stop? Go on.

The federal principle is also... -Excellent!

You should enter competitions, you know?

There's one next month! Well done!

Did you know they arrested the ferryman?

It wasn't Mirko. -What do you mean?

He didn't get the banner dirty. -No? Who did?

Come in!

It's me. What are you doing? Are you bored?

I'm checking the tests. Nothing in them. -What tests?

The kid that rows. Markovinovic. -You want to get rid of him,

but he's almost handsome as you. -What are you looking for?

Nothing... I just want to make some coffee.

It's hot here! -Miso! Please! -What?

It's been a long time... Since we've been on duty together.

You've been with Jagoda! -Are you jealous? Why?

The things you do... Not even Betika can do that!

That's a nice compliment. -Come on...

Miso? -Yes? -I heard you're moving to Zagreb.

That's right. -You could take me with you.

Hi, Tomo! -'Evening, nurse Jagoda. -'Evening.

Why aren't you sleeping? -I can't. -Jerk off.

You'll feel better.

You pig!

Jagoda!

It's not what you think! Jagoda!

Nada, they'll release him after this rowing cup...

I'll get you! -Damir!

I'm sorry. I haven't asked you how you are. -What do you think?

All alone. Divorced. -Come on... We know each other.

I was such a fool 20 years ago.

No, you weren't, Andrija.

Waiter!

Listen... There is something else.

I think I know what the problem is with Tomo.

It's an act. -Really? -There's nothing the matter with him.

It's psychosomatic. Adolescent crap.

And you'd release him? -Doctor, please...

He has one ball, and you can't diagnose that! -What?

You can't see a fuck! They should send you back to school,

not to Zagreb. He could get a tumor, and you examined him?

His other ball has not dropped. It's inflamed! Do you get it?

Get out of my sight! Nurse, put him on this programme.

I'll operate the day after tomorrow. -Yes, doctor.

You told Primorac. -Yes. In the restaurant. -Why?

We're worried. -Where's dad? Drinking?

Dad is in... -He's working round the clock.

They closed the bridge. He's asking about you.

He sent you some bananas.

Hello! -Hello! -Old man!

She's come to see you?

Don't be afraid. The operation is a cinch.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Let's go, Damir.

Why have you come?

Oh, yes...

I wanted to say... I've been reading.

We'll get out of here one of these days, too.

It happens. With men in the beginning.

Kid! Any chance of a banana for me?

Watch out!

Thanks! Look at this banana!

Will you stop it?

When you get out... I mean, if you want to...

My dad's on the Hungarian border.

Leave me alone.

I only told Vlasta. She told everyone else.

Tomo... I'm sorry. -Come on!

I'm sorry!

Look at my rower!

Hang on, pal!

Come on! Grab it!

Come on!

You came to pull your monkey too?

You almost ended up all the way to the Danube! What's this?

Nothing. -What's this? -Nothing! -It's shit!

You've been selling dried dung as grass?

That's what you've been doing?! -Take it easy!

Now you'll eat what I've been smoking!

A haircut for a beer. A shave for a brandy. I work well.

I work fine. -...the red flags, pointed out comrade Tito.

We work as if the peace we'll last for 100 years...

I work well, I work fine.

You see, I don't like big tits.

You can't grab them properly.

It's best when they fit in your hands.

Stop it already! -Don't move!

The fat one never stops talking! He carries on all the time!

And he's never seen a naked woman. -What? Me?

Yes, you! I want to listen to the news.

It may be the Third World War. But what do you care!

One in each hand and you get to it. -Now I've had enough!

Shame! Speaking like that in front of the boy!

Comrade... -What is it?

Came to see your protég? -You're here too, comrade?

You should know. I pay you.

It's good you're here! -You think so? Want to switch places?

If Tomo isn't back soon, I'll jump in the river.

I've lived all my life here and I might as well drown in it.

It's serious, comrade Emil. Please help.

Shut up!

You should have listened to what I said.

Forget Zagreb. -Please, comrade Emil.

He's not acting. He's really sick. He has to... -He must row!

Primorac!

Primorac, open up!

The kid has only good one ball. He has to have an operation.

The kid...

What did you say? -You can forget the cup.

I have to shave you. You're on tomorrow.

What does barber Jozika always say? -I work well, I work fine.

I work well, I work fine.

I work well, I work fine...

Who is it? -Are you open?

I'm not a shop. I'm always open.

Come in.

Look who's here!

My little tomcat in his pyjamas!

What is it? Did your house burn down?

Or is it love again?

Have you got money? What have you got then?

I have one ball.

You gave Rezika half an egg for an ice cream?

This time it's really serious.

You know...

I've been looking at you kids on the beach.

You're different.

I have a good eye for that.

You remind me of one of my...

But that's all in the past.

Come here. Don't worry. I won't do anything.

What is it?

Lie down.

Lie down.

You're really beautiful.

Relax.

Carp, catfish and pike

Dance in the river at Osijek

Holding each other tight,

the fish merrily dance.

Police! Take that!

Oh, I so want to be there,

Down by the river.

To be with my friends

And sing songs passed down from father to son.

Oh, I so want to be there,

Down by the river.

To be with my friends

And sing songs passed down from father to son.

In a crisis, it's important that comrade Emil returns to work.

Isn't it so? -Yes, it is! -Let's take a picture.

All right... Now... -Tomo Markovinovic?

What is it? -He's on the list for today. -O.K.

Come together again...

That's good!

Comrade Emil! Good luck! Your prostate is as good as new.

Screw you! -Let's go, people! Hurry up!

Are you ready, ace? Let's do it.

Janda, are you already in Zagreb or are you with us?

Still here. Goodbye, comrade Emil. -'Bye.

Let's finish this. Where's the photographer? -Here!

Anaesthetic? -Yes... Wait!

Nurse, why isn't he shaved? -He ran away. -This is too much!

And what's this? -What? -Take a look yourself.

I haven't seen anything like this ever before. -It's dropped!

It's a medical first. -My dear Janda,

they won't believe you in Zagreb when you tell them about this.

What is it, ace?

Last night your ball dropped to its place.

If its healthy, you'll be going home. This is a miracle!

Two balls for an egg!

Two balls for an egg!

OUT OF ORDER

Quiet!

Careful, mum! I got soap in my eyes!

Keep them closed and you'll be fine.

What's this? -It's a blackout.

No. The radio is working.

The fuse has blown. -Who'll fix it? Dad's in prison...

Where's dad? -Have you ran away from hospital?

Why is he in prison? -He put dung on the banner.

On the roof? -Yes!

Are you mad? You'd say no to comrade Tito?

Are you listening? -My dad's not guilty.

Then who is?

I won't row unless

they release him! -You won't?

All right then!

Please, comrade Gordana.

Only you can save us.

He won't row unless they release his father.

You can have soup without one noodle. -But... -No!

We have to practice with the banner! Come on!

Goca! -Don't worry. I'll protect you.

I didn't want Mirko to... -Forget him.

You will make a fine communist.

I adore you, my flower.

I fouled up Tito's banner. -What?!

If you're good, I'll let you squeeze them.

What? -What do you mean, what? -I admitted to everything.

Except to the grass. -And what now?

Goca said your old man will be okay.

You shagged her, right?

Real men don't tell. -That means we can.

How many balls have you got today? -Two!

That's an improvement.

Will you dance? -I'm working.

I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it.

And now, Osijek's famous... Betika!

Betika! Betika!

Tomo!

Tomo!

I acted like a fool.

My old man's on the border. We can watch TV.

Want to come over? -Sorry. What did you say?

Just one day, and just one night...

And maybe never again.

Just one day...

Mum, tell me the story of the Queen of the Night. -I'm tired.

Then buy a TV set!

Why doesn't Tomo want to be a champion?

Be quiet and go to sleep.

You haven't eaten a thing.

If you want to help him, row.

If you want me to sleep, be quiet!

Comrades, let our song ring loud and clear!

It's a song celebrating our labour.

Let our picks and shovels strike a tune!

Long live the proletariat!

Good day! Good day!

Testing! One, two!

You'll all get your turn.

Finished.

Lively now! Quick!

Take your positions! No frowning!

I want to see smiles all around!

Tomo! I fixed it. Your father is free. -Where is he?

When will he come here? -He can't come right away.

He had to go to hospital. Probably his ulcer.

I'll go to him. -No. Listen. He was an excellent jockey.

If he hadn't fallen, your dad would have been a champion.

Row for your father. Be a champion!

Tomo! -Don't say anything to your mother just yet.

You'll see him soon. -Thank you, comrade...

Tomo! To your boat! Comrade Tito is coming!

Comrade Tito, our white violet,

your youth is saluting you.

Comrade Tito, son of our people,

we sing you a song with joy.

Comrade Tito, our dewy flower,

all the people follows your lead.

More lively now! That was excellent.

Now come together!

Come on! Are you deaf?!

Did you hear what she said? -Now lift the banner!

Raise the banner! It's almost time!

Here he comes! Music!

People! Here he comes!

Long live comrade Tito!

Tito - the Party!

COMRADE TITO

Don't cry, children. We'll write to him.

Comrade Emil, it would be best if you could...

The Cup has to go on!

You fire the gun. I'm sick of everything. Go on, take it.

Come on, Tomo!

Go! Show them how it's done!

Tomo! Tomo! Tomo!

Tomo!

Go!

Come on, Tomo! Just a little more!

Come on! Just a little more!

Tomo! Tomo! Tomo!

Yes! We've won!

Well done, Tomo!

Tomo! Tomo! Tomo!

Well done!

Well done, Tomo!

Well done, boy! -See, comrade? Tactics!

Tactics always pay off.

Nado! Tomo!

Good day!

A television set! -Where shell we put it? -Here...

Did Tito send it to Tomo as his prize? -Sign here.

You father ordered it. To surprise you. -'Bye.

Tomo... We'll be off now.

Take care of your mother!

We'll be going as well.

Hang in there!

We're going.

Mum, tell the story of the Queen of the Night.

We'll put the TV on.

Maybe the cartoons are on. -I don't want the TV.

I want to hear the story.

You want me to tell it? -Go on.

In a land...

So very far away...

In the dense rain forest of the Amazon,

somewhere deep underwater...

There is a plant called the Queen of the Night.
