How long?

- Can't you swim without watching the time?
- The marathon is only days away.

Are you talking about my time or life?

How long?

1 minute, 9 seconds.

So, it makes 69.

69 seconds, that's incredible.

It's the same with women.
It's a challenge, a hunt, Pecker.

Dawid.

Besides, I'm not interested,
haven't asked.

And if you like challenges,
engage in a relationship as Maks Wandor.

That I haven't thought about it!

Let's do it like this: call her Saturday,
shag her Sunday, dump her Monday.

Hey, what's up?

Alright, see you there.

My mother.

Invites you to her latest wedding?

Nope. She died.

I got hungry. Shall I order something?

On behalf of the family and

the sons, Maksymilian and…

Lucjan.

That's it. And Lucjan,

I thank you for showing up
in large numbers…

Thank you for coming.

Where's father?

I'd like to

Dunno.

say farewell to

our dear, devoted parishioner.

You left a big void, Ela.

Anyone who's met you
at least once, knows well

with how much joy and brightness
you filled our lives with.

He's talking awfully much.

In our fond memory remains your long,

curly hair,

full mouth,

and that lingering look.

You were an incredible woman,

Wanna anything from her flat?

sensual,

Diapers?

and passionate.

Nobody sinned like you did,

with devotion,

and self-sacrificing dedication…

Let me come back
to your mouth, lips actually…

I remember,
when it was raining and drops…

… of that rainy mist
on your lips that unfolded like…

… a bloom,
pink or of a different color,

so beautiful.

Only your love like the wind carries me

It braids my hair,

in your hands lets me sleep.

Only you create new worlds just for me

Make me smile every morning,

keep me upbeat.

You're the best dream I've ever had,

And now I'm living that very dream,

It makes the sun shine, and my heart beam.

Today's much better with you near,

Yesterday, tomorrow brought only fear.

You make my sorrows disappear.

Hey.

Apols, the door was open.

I just moved in,
was moving a closet and thought…

No problem!

Oh.

You know what? I'll only move the desk.

I take care of people like you, so…

If you need anything… I'm there.

In what sense?

I could come over,

before work or evenings.

Evenings.

- I'm Maks.
- Anna.

Let me help you!

So good that you came,
otherwise I could've pierced my foot.

I mean, the wheelchair's wheel,
because… I'm in a wheelchair.

Shall you need anything, I live next door.

I'll keep that in mind.
Feel free to drop by too. Anytime.

Anytime. To borrow sugar. Or salt.

Or fabric for your jeans.

I'll remember.

- Hey.
- Hey!

Relax.

It'll be over soon.

Just a moment.

Done.

Put on your pants, I saw too much.

Find yourself a head doctor,
your other parts are sane.

Pecker…

Picking up Anna
is the challenge of my life.

It's the ultimate test. It's like…

… high school finals.

If I succeed in picking up
that girl, in a wheelchair,

it'd mean I can pick up any girl.

- Let's assume you succeed.
- I will.

Let's say she falls for you,
how would you shag her?

How?

The usual way.

You, paralyzed from the waist down?

Well, then I could just not shag her.

I'm gonna stand up,
take a bow, and walk away.

Like Jesus.

Unless she'd want it really bad.

Thanks. Bye!

These are our sales figures
for the last six months.

We're neck and neck with the competition.

Your faces show complacency,

satisfaction,

pride here and there.

And I ask myself,

Have you fucking lost it?

Neck and neck?

The first place is our place.

Our values here are,
let me remind you, courage…

Punctuality,

determination,

and self-discipline.

Plus the key word: the goal.

We set goals

and achieve them.

You don't achieve your goal
and you're gone.

Come with me, Maria.

My mom felt ill, I had to call on her.

Don't worry, she's okay. A false alarm.

She's just fond
of the new cardiac surgeon.

- She tries to set me up with him, but…
- Coffee?

It is coffee.

- With milk?
- Almond, rice, soy…

They had no oat milk.

- The meeting with Krawecki?
- Thursday at 5 p.m.

The laundry?

Collected. They kindly ask to remove
cards with phone numbers from pockets,

before dropping off laundry
as they could get damaged.

I won't be searching your pockets,
there are limits, right?

We're set.

And… that?

What?

This.

What?

This.

Any hints?

I suck at charades.

Every day,

there's less of them.

I called the clinic,
you can't transplant them from here

but there's more of them at the back…

More… More heat means
the end of our civilization.

We're going to dry out like polar bears
or drown like kangaroos, or

pheasants,

it all depends on the context.

What?

You really think so?

About what?

I do.

Am I disturbing?

Well… actually…

A coffee break?

You take sugar?

Two spoonfuls, please.

Got some cardamom?

Yes, I guess so.

Coffee is served.

Apols, I can't really sit still.

Me neither.

What can I do for you? I can do anything.

Should I do the laundry?

- Or hang the curtain?
- Wait.

Anna,

wait.

I know.

Remember, you shouldn't feel embarrassed.

A conversation will do.

Okay.

You're on diet?

I am, only for the marathon.

Wow! For the marathon?

As a spectator, of course.

You know, the less I weigh…

… the easier to push me.

So, you take care of handicapped people?

I'm a physiotherapist.

And you? What you do for living?

Nothing. I'm grounded.

Interesting.

- You staring at my tits?
- Never.

- I can see it.
- No.

- Yes.
- I didn't even notice them.

Are you married?

I'm free

like a bird.

I need a woman who'd be

helpful.

Why not loving?

Could be.

I prefer casual affairs.

No strings attached,

no lost hopes.

If I ever get married,
then only for the dress.

I couldn't agree more.
Any plans for tonight?

Cycling with friends.

Maybe I could join you on my wheels.

You'd rather feel awkward.
We're a young bunch.

Will we meet again?

Well… There's a slight chance.

- Bye.
- Anna…

I lied to you.

I have a job.

I'm running a sports company.

I strive to stay in shape, remain active.

I don't give up.

Any plans for Sunday?

Wanna race me?

Anytime.

Show some empathy!

We're there, mom!

You're nuts.

Flowers? For me?

Thank you.

He isn't as old as you told us.

Fancy some honey liqueur?

- I made it.
- I'm sorry, I can't. I'm driving.

Be careful, dad makes our guests drunk
to get all secrets from them.

Don't scare him,
Maks looks like an honest man.

I know these things.
I can smell a cheater a mile away.

The pie is saved!

Julia. Maks.

Maks. Julia, my sister.

We've already met.

Hi.

Excuse me for not standing up.

I'd like some of that liqueur after all.

You can use my glass.

Well?

Shall we eat?

So,

you're a businessman?

I sell running shoes.

And you do sports?

- In a wheelchair?
- Yes.

I play tennis.

And violin.

Enchanted?

Very much.

Enchanted by what?

Classical music. Do you like it?

I prefer pop.

- Classical music…
- Makes you fall asleep?

It annoys me.

Violin must be a difficult instrument.

So good I'm not a soloist!

Why?

I'd have to stand up and bow.

Ain't it funny?

Come!

It's time for Truth or Dare.

Anna!

We're playing!

Tag, you're it!

It is sick!

You went mad!

I take it back,
not even a head doctor could help you!

Sick is

that I had to massage
some guy's feet for 15 minutes.

Did it end there?

I'm sick of your funny little jokes!

It was you who said
that challenge is what counts!

Sure, you'd just stand up

and say, 'Anna, I must apologize
to you and your family.'

'I'm not disabled, actually.'

'I only got in this wheelchair
to pick you up.'

You even lied about your age.

Thirty-nine

sounds and looks better than forty-four.

Especially for a kid she is.

Don't suck your gut, I don't care.

- I don't.
- You do. I know you!

What's her sister like?

What's she like?

Pretty, entertaining?

How could I know?

Keep away from short trunks.

The shorter the trunks,
the bigger the trouble.

Come in!

Maks?

Maks isn't there.

And you are…

Maks… Maks's brother.

But I'm

not like Maks.

Only… I'm different.

He didn't take the wheelchair?

The wheelchair?

No, he left the wheelchair.

- He left his gloves at my parents'.
- So…

Why don't you come in?

I'll get rid of it.

So,

did he say anything?

- Meaning?
- About yesterday.

No.

It's great, you know,

that he stays fit, active,

pursues his interests.

He told me about volunteering in Batswana.

Botswana! In Africa.

Did he?

But it must've been before it…

…happened to him.

Right, everything had happened
before it happened.

I only hope he wasn't offended
by me introducing my sister to him.

No way, Maks is not a guy

who'd be against meeting someone's sister.

You think

he likes Julia too?

If she's a woman

than for sure.

Because she's also

active, cannot stay in one place,

though she's in a wheelchair.

I thought they'd hit it off.

- Thanks.
- You're welcome.

I'll call still today.

Or better, I'll get right on it.

What…

What are you doing on weekend?

I mean, it's to get Maks and Julia,
my sister and your brother, together…

But of course!

Julia…

…and Maks.

Maks.

- What happened to him?
- In what sense?

I mean, he's para-

- Para…?
- …lyzed.

Indeed.

He's lyzed.

He is.

I guess it'd be better if Maks told you
about it all,

I, you know,

I can't talk about it. I'm just

a mechanic.

A mecha-nic.

I mean,

I'm not a big talker.

I understand that you'd like
to inherit the wheelchair.

If you're okay with it.

You're making a mistake.
A big mistake.

What did you tell her?

The truth.

- That we barely talk.
- That's right. Let's stick to that.

Hi!

Yes?

Your agenda for tomorrow:

meeting the Qatari at 2 p.m.
to extend the contract. Important!

- At 5 p.m.,
- Maria!

You don't have to go anywhere
to talk to me.

We had this little intercom installed,

press the button and talk,
and I will answer!

Sure, I got it.

- Maks.
- The intercom!

- For you!
- No meetings on Monday.

A disabled woman.

Even security felt bad to reject her.

It won't take long.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Come in, I mean, roll in.

I'd like to…

I mean,

I had no idea what Anna was up to.

Listen,

we're both in wheelchairs,
but it doesn't mean we have to be friends.

Of course.

It's okay.

We could be, though.

They put you on the desk?

One thing you should know about me…

Boss?

It's ridiculous,

I mean, more than ridiculous,

it's crazy.

I understand.

You're ashamed.

You cannot stand
their compassionate stares.

Some people try to tell us we're like them
but it's not true. We're not.

You have to accept that.

The wheelchair is your best friend, Maks.

No one can take it away.

Excuse me, may I?

Yes?

Could you come over?

You come over.

No, you.

You know that I cannot move, Maria.

Okay!

She's new here,
been working here for 12…

… days.

Yes?

Unfortunately, it can't wait.
Confirm it now.

- Confirm what?
- Your colonoscopy.

They moved it to Thursday,
confirm the date or you lose it.

- Okay!
- And keep the diet, Maks.

- Have an enema…
- Right!

- You have to empty your bowels…
- That's clear.

- It's about the camera…
- Got it!

You won't have general anesthesia,
I bought you a rectal anesthetic…

- She's so dedicated.
- She is.

Hey, I play a tennis match nearby.

Would you like to come?

I must warn you,

your competition sponsors us.

And two more things.

A black runner is a cliché.

And the second thing?

A bare chest is sexy.

- Yes?
- Could you come over?

- We have our little intercom.
- Come here!

- I can't.
- Now!

I'm losing…

Maks…

… Over and out…

Maria.

Para athletics: analyze the market
and endorsement deals.

For tomorrow?

Were it so, I'd have come tomorrow.

Ladies and gentlemen,
let me welcome you to the title game!

The title game between
Anna Ploszynska and Julia Lewinska

will be decided in
the best-of-three sets format.

May the best one win,
let's start the game.

So aggressive at the net. 30-15.

A world-class play
evens the score at 30-30.

It looks good. Diversified audience,
not only disabled fans.

What? Speak louder,
my hearing's impaired.

Speak louder!

Game Ploszynska.
Ms. Ploszynska leads 5 games to 2.

The swing. She has to do a full swing.

No slice, no tennis.

Sampras used to say it,

Pete Sampras.

Yet another courageous play at the net!

A winner! 40-30.

Marvelous!

Game, set, and the match.

Anna Ploszynska wins.

6-3, 6-4.

Congrats.

Bravo!

Congratulations. What a great final.

You gave it all. Thank you.

You're the best, Julia!

It was okay, Julia,
but no slice, no tennis.

Thanks, coach.

- Hi!
- Hey.

- What are you doing here?
- I was nearby.

Maks…

- Yes?
- You're in my wheelchair.

That's right.

I left mine by the stands,
only for a second,

and it was gone.

They stole your wheelchair?

They did.

It must have been

some wheelchair thief.

I'm joking. The truth is,

mine broke.

The wheel or something. My assistant

took it to the service

- …and I thought I could use yours.
- Sure, no problem.

We're going for a drink.

Will you join us?

- Hey.
- Hey.

Absolutely.

My dear,
you have to celebrate such a game.

Where shall we go?

Tell me,

are there any categories, standings?

For example, could you, Marcin,
play a legless or wheelchaired opponent?

You'd be handicapped, that's why I ask.

- Quite the opposite.
- Why?

May the best win.

Let's do it.

- You risk losing your title, Marcin.
- We'll see.

The title?

Dears,

next time, maybe, as

it struck me I have an important
international meeting. It can't wait.

Thank you and apologies for the fuss.

See you next time.

- Bye.
- Bye.

- Bye…
- Bye.

Wait!

Well?

You got scared?

You were afraid to lose?

Maks,

you must learn to lose.

A loss makes a man

more likeable.

Bye.

Bye.

Hello, I'm Maria, Maks's assistant.

- Remember me?
- Sure. Hi!

Maks asked me

to return your wheelchair and tell you

that he got his back from the service.

- Maks is disabled, you know?
- I noticed.

Wheelchairs are hard to overlook.

- Bye.
- Got a moment?

Come, you'll help me.

When it comes to assisting the disabled
I'm rather unexperienced.

I can push the wheelchair,
I can hold the door for you, but…

But you help Maks.

I do. But he's different. Non-standard.

Meaning?

Once, he insisted on riding down
the stairs instead in the elevator.

Wow.

He calls it 'acting out-of-the-box.'

How can I help you?

Wow!

So thin… I couldn't wear them.
Only these suit me.

I couldn't make two steps in these.

Take it easy. Me neither.

You see,

everything has an upside.

I can buy shoes for one evening

and return them the next day.

I can't make up my mind
which one suits me better.

Beautiful.

- I know, but which one?
- You're beautiful!

I mean it.

You are beautiful, I do think so.

- Thank you.
- Maks must think that too.

He likes beautiful women very much.

It means

he must be crazy about you.

No doubt about it.

Maks is very lucky.

- You think so?
- I do. And I think,

he knows it.

You know what men are like.

They cannot admit it.

I can't believe it,

you're more beautiful than I thought.

Prick.

Excuse me?

Ick! I mean…

Climbing those stairs exhausted me.

- Did you return the wheelchair?
- Mhmm.

Was she happy about it?

She was.

Like a person who got her wheelchair back.

No message from her?

- You don't have to come to talk to me.
- Excuse me?

We had this little intercom installed.

What's this?

Julia's concert tour dates.

- What am I supposed to do with it?
- Julia will be in Wroclaw on 12th.

You'll be there too.

Wait.

You sign a new contract at 4 p.m.

You go to her concert in the evening.

No!

I'm in Prague on 12th,

and in Wroclaw on 14th.

No. I switched Prague with Wroclaw.

- You switched?
- Mhmm.

Could you tell me,

why would I attend
a classical concert in Wroclaw?

For the same reason
you went to the tennis match.

You go there and apologize.

On your own legs.

Classical music will give you wings.

Trust me.

- Can I help you anyhow?
- Yes.

No.

At your service, sir.

Ouch!

Phantom pain.

Excuse me,

may I?

Yes, of course.

Not only my legs are impaired

Julia.

Hey.

- Wait for me.
- Sure.

Hey.

I was nearby.

Sure!

And? Did you like it?

It was

beautiful and touching.

Really, it annoyed me only a tiny bit.

Julia,

we're going for dinner.

Good.

So?

So…

I wish you a pleasant evening.

Thank you.

Seriously?

You won't even invite me for a drink?

So,

you were nearby.

No.

I came here especially to you.

I know your concert dates by heart.
Tomorrow, you play in Vienna.

- In Munich.
- Munich it is.

I saw through you.

You change them all the time.

You get bored easily.

With wheelchairs.

You saw through me.

You know what my problem is?

I have a great ass that no one can see.

- Enjoy.
- Enjoy.

Only your love like the wind carries me

It braids my hair,

in your hands lets me sleep.

You know the lyrics by heart?

No, by no means.

You seeing someone?

Of course.

Mom, dad, Ania.

I need no one more.

Your nose is growing.

What about you?

I have Pecker.

Are you into ornithology?

It's my friend. He's name is Dawid.

He hates it when I call him Pecker
and that's why I do it.

We met at a party.

I got drunk,

my girl took off,

Pecker brought me home.

You make my sorrows disappear

I think he tried to kiss me. I said, no.

He might've even tried to sleep with me.

I said, no.

- Dawid is gay, you know.
- Yeah, I got it.

- What time is your flight?
- We travel by bus.

To Munich?

I couldn't sit that long.

Come on!

My love will let us fly far away.

Flying high forever,

together we'll stay.

Your sweet love,
I don't need nothing more

Darling please believe me,

open the door.

You're the best dream I've ever had,

And now I'm living that very dream,

It makes the sun shine
and my heart beam.

Today's much better with you near,

Yesterday, tomorrow brought only fear.

You make my sorrows disappear.

You're the best dream I've ever had,
And now I'm living that very dream,

- Beautiful, it really was!
- Excuse me!

Could you please apologize
to all guests on my behalf?

Yes, sir.

And get my friend a contract here?

- Of course.
- Thank you.

- Julia.
- Yes?

I have a favor to ask.

Can we forget about it?

Maks,

it's something you can't forget.

Just think what would happen
if all lovers held their hands at once.

Here, on this bridge?

No! All over the world.

It would've been the orgy of the century.

- So romantic.
- I'm doing my best.

What about that song?

My mother sang it to me

at bedtime and in the morning

every day when I was a kid.

- And later?
- Later, she packed her things and left.

It shouldn't make you sad.
She sang terribly.

Run away, Maks!

I'm gonna save us!

Look!

- Well?
- Well.

Well.

Faster!

Can't you see…

Step on it!

Wait, it has more features.

Stop!

Fancy a drink?

Follow me.

I'm waiting on the 6th.

What is it?

I won't stay. I'm sorry.

Oh…

- Don't get me wrong…
- No! It's fine.

- Bye.
- Bye.

- Are you avoiding me?
- By no means.

- I must pee.
- Got bladder problems?

Is it for your medical records?

It is. I arranged colonoscopy for you,
remember?

How was Wroclaw?

- I signed the contract.
- Splendid. And the concert?

Very enjoyable.

What did she do when you stood up?

Nothing.

I chickened out.

But you invited her
to breakfast, didn't you?

No need to.

Excuse me?

Certain things need time.

Maks!

No! Is that really you?

Come on, it's no big deal
I didn't stay for the night.

You? At hers?

She invited me in

and I declined.

She invited you in, and you declined?

Wasn't she disappointed?

She wasn't.

- And she wasn't sad?
- No. Why should she be?

That's it.

- Forget it.
- Maria!

Any given woman would've felt like shit.

But you're right,
apart from Julia only, huh?

She's smarter, she has distance.

After that…
She should be jumping for joy!

- We left the club…
- Occupied!

He's either old-fashioned
or his gear isn't working.

I think his gear isn't on.

He doesn't look like that.

He doesn't?

How does one
whose gear is faulty look like?

Maybe… he wasn't in the mood?

I beg you.

I never met one
who wouldn't be in the mood.

Stop it!

- What?
- They're humans too.

Are they?

I don't know then,

he makes all the effort
and won't stay for the night?

It's either…

Either… or I don't know.

- But you like him.
- Oh!

I can see that you do.

It's not a sin, admit it!

I want romance!

Listen, if I'd like to, you know…

Technically, everything works.
You only don't experience pleasure.

The upper part is disconnected

from the bottom.

I'm referring
to complete paralysis, of course.

Good morning!

Good morning.

Being partially paralyzed,

you can sense that you're peeing.

And you can achieve orgasm
thanks to medication or physiotherapy.

Take it out.

There's also para-orgasm.

It's almost like the usual one.

Know what, Pecker?
I'll tell her the truth.

I'll tell her.

I'd rather tell her the truth
than have para-orgasm.

Excuse me, gentlemen.

I'm also looking for advice,

as I feel,

that I'd love to return to the game.

Doctor?

Yes?

Julia?

Maks?

It's me.

What are you doing?

I am…

tuning my violin.

Will you go out to dinner with me?

Well, why not.

On Monday?

Monday sounds great.

It's funny,

you sound as if you were walking.

How come?

See you on Monday?

I'll text you the address. Okay, bye.

Hey!

Come in, please.

In case we get thirsty.

- Here?
- No!

Over there.

Wow.

Let me grab the ice container.

- A pot.
- A bucket.

I don't like it too easy in life.

An imitation?

It looks real

and doesn't need watering.

Cool.

Do you play?

Me? No way.

Why have it then?

Beautiful.

I'm hungry.

Shall we eat?

I can't believe nobody told you.

It's an utter cliché.

What if nobody told me because it's true?

They're all scared of you, that's it.

Blacks run faster.

It's not a stereotype.
It's true. It's a fact.

It's a fact.

It also proves that…

No, wait. Other way round.

You'd like me to have
a dwarf athlete in that commercial?

What? You mustn't say that!

Say what?

A man with achondroplasia.

Alright.

The smallest men's shoe size

is forty-two. Forty-two!

And you'd tell me that dwar…

…people with achondroplasia
have small feet.

Which is true and it won't sell.

Period.

- Alright.
- No, it's not alright.

Who told you that there has to be
an athlete in this commercial?

Thank you.

- Julia.
- Yes?

Are you sitting?

Let me check.

I am.

I must confess something.

It isn't easy.

I beg you…

Don't tell me you're in love.

Never on first date. Listen,

I must tell you something.

I've had bad time on dates lately.

He cheated on me.

A cardiac surgeon.

You should trust doctors, right?

I trusted him.

It was his birthday; he was on duty.

I thought it would be a great idea

to surprise him.

I roll down the hallway
with a cake and champagne.

I caught him red-handed with a nurse,
performing an EKG on her.

That's what he told me.

While in fact he was pawing her.

Now, that's a cliché.

He wanted me back,
sent flowers and letters

but it didn't help. I dumped him.

- Why?
- Because he deceived me.

You could've forgiven him.

This is the only thing I cannot forgive.

A lie.

A half-confessed lie
is a half-forgiven lie, right?

It isn't.

Tell me, how did it happen?

What?

Why you're in a wheelchair?

It's what you wanted to confess.

I had an accident.

I fell off a horse.

Like Superman, Christopher Reeve.

But I was lucky.

Much luckier than him.

It was just a pony.

I had a short flight.

I'm sorry. Forgive me.

It's just that…

It's incredible.

I mean it.

It's great that you approach it that way.

I got tiramisu for dessert.
Would you like some?

Won't you ask me?

How it happened?

No. I don't want you to…

It was April.

Spring.

I hurried to a rehearsal.

We were preparing
for the Easter Beethoven's Concert.

I forgot my violin
and had to go back to get it.

I ignored a yield sign right by my house.

I remember a bang.

A terrible bang.

Then, the car began to

slide across the road as if it was ice.

So silently.

The other driver broke his collarbone.

I lost my legs.

The violin came out unharmed.

Nature knows what to protect.

How do you do it?

Do what?

That.

Are you hitting on me?

A bit.

At last.

Maks, I'm afraid.

Don't be.

I'm afraid about you.

Did you feel it?

I did.

Here.

And you?

Me too.

Here.

Are you sure you won't stay?

Not everything at once.

Besides,

Anna's here.

Maks.

Anna.

Your carriage has arrived.

I don't like it, don't like it at all.

Me neither.

You shouldn't do it. It's disgusting

Tonight, you're not only my assistant
but my friend too. Get a feel for it.

Who should I be?

- You.
- I should be me?

- Yes!
- I don't like it!

Me neither.

What else could I do? Say no?

Julia wanted to meet
my family and friends. I only have you.

I still don't like it.

Why don't you both stop being you tonight?

Fine.

I won't say a word tonight.

The… The wheelchair!

These are my friends, Maria and…

Pecker! Forgive me.

You can call me that.

Hey.

Whatever.

- Dawid.
- Anna.

Apologies for being late.

This is Lucjan, my brother.

Excuse me, could you…

- Hi.
- Hi!

Could you move here because

I'd love to sit next to Ania.

- Absolutely.
- You sure?

Thanks.

These are for you.

For me?

They're cute.

- Thanks.
- You're welcome.

But my cousin's brother is nothing…

Arigatō.

Did I already tell you
about my disabled uncle tonight?

- I don't think so.
- I didn't?

My uncle was born legless.

A genetic condition,

one in one hundred million…

…years.

That's curious.
I never heard of such a case.

I think I made it

way too hot.

Things got worse, though.

Much worse was the treatment he received
in hospital after his accident.

Wasn't it a genetic condition?

It was. With his legs. It was.

But not his arms.

My uncle lost his arms

after he stepped on a landmine in Africa.

How does he cope now?

- Too hot! Too hot.
- I think he's disappointed…

That his arm didn't grow back.

If he needs an assistant, let me know.
Maybe I could be of help.

He doesn't need it

since

he died.

But Maks,

has always coped on his own,

without any help.

To me, his brother,

this is truly amazing.

Is that so?

- It's nothing, Lucjan.
- Why do you say so?

You always were exceptional, resourceful.

Though the parachute didn't open,

you still crave flying.

I heard it was a pony!

It's a metaphor, he's famous for it.

It's rather an onomatopoeia.

- I think you should know something, Julia.
- At last! May I?

That story about Batswana, Botswana…

That story, it also was…

That story was also…

It was also so intriguing.
What reminded me of…

…of the year nineteen-…

Okay, I'm coming back to them.

No way, Lucjan.

We go out as we came in,
or no one comes out.

Lucjan's right.

Julia should learn the truth.

Lucjan's right?

Can't you see she isn't ready for truth?
It's over if I tell her now.

- When will you?
- Soon.

Really? There's no
such day of the week as 'Soon.'

I'm off then.

Go.

- I'm off.
- Go!

I'm off!

I'm not a liar.

- Like you.
- Anna's going to love it!

I came to a conclusion, we shouldn't hurry

with the truth.

You don't even know
how much alike you are.

I know everything now.

Maria told me.

Why did you lie?

Julia,

I'm sorry.

Just tell me, when exactly?

When, what?

I know how freaking old you are.

When's your birthday,
so I can buy you a present.

April 10th.

An Aries, but more of an airhead.

Maks Wandor, lived and died coward.

That's what your tombstone would read.

As your assistant,
I'm gonna take care of that.

Your friend, excuse me.

I thought spring rolls
were your take-away order.

I can't blame Maks.

When Julia finds out,
she's gonna cancel him.

Just imagine, Dawid,

that you're having sex with a man.

- Relax.
- What?

I know that you're gay
and that's beautiful.

It's beautiful.

So, Dawid, imagine having sex with a man

who, next day, tells you
that he slept with you

only because

he's after your sister.

I mean, your brother.

I'm not gay, for fuck's sake!

My-oh-my!

It's…

It ain't easy to be your friend.

I'd rather stick
to my assistant's duties.

I haven't been single for so long
to be one forever.

She's so pretty.

Witty and smart.

But she's wheelchaired!

She might have a great ass
but you can't see it.

What would you do?

Call her Saturday,
shag her Sunday, dump her Monday.

You sneer when I face a dilemma.

Why am I doing this?

I'm not your therapist.

Pay me like one
and I could give it a thought.

Still, you're my friend, aren't you?

You won't like it.

You fell for her. Why?
Because she's different.

She doesn't pretend. She's true.

She's more authentic than we all together.

You fell in love.

No, Pecker, you didn't miss your calling.

Dawid Zwolinski, a proctologist.
Wisdom out of his ass.

What's up, Lucjan?

I'm busy.

Okay, I'll be there.

On my way.

Leave it be!

You got no feel for people,
not even plastic ones.

Lucjan?

Lucjan!

Listen to me carefully, shoe salesman.

From now on, stay away from my sister.

Break up with her by showing
her your mental health record.

Or a restraining order on women.
Find out something, you mastered it.

Julia mustn't know you deceived her.

You have 48 hours to disappear. Got it?

48 hours.

What an incredible woman.

- Fuck me…
- What?

Come on, tell me it's all my fault.

Have I lied?

Okay, my fault. I'm sorry!

Sorry that I'm not like you!

I'm sorry I met a wonderful woman
with whom I'm honest!

Do you know what it means?

Honesty in a relationship?

You should've bought a swankier car!

That could accommodate your ego!

Ania…

Maks?

Maks!

I'm sorry, I always wanted to do it.

What next?

Meeting with Kozlowski, Friday at 1 p.m.

I didn't mean that.

Even my deceased, disabled uncle
had more luck than you.

The one you made up?

All the more.

I guess, only a miracle

could save you.

Only a miracle.

What do you think?

He's slimy,

has an awful sense of humor,

and teeth like my horse.
No, my horse's teeth look better.

Nice.

Though a bit slutty.

I take it.

You don't like him.

He's just not the right guy for you.

You're Ying, he is Yang.

You're like caviar,

he's like corned beef
from a discount store.

Hi.

No.

You're not disturbing.

What?

Really?

It's amazing, Maks.

Of course. See you tomorrow.

Listen,

he had a dream.

Virgin Mary came to him and told him,

'Come to me.'

We're going to a sanctuary tomorrow.

Aha.

What for?

For a miracle.

You don't get it?

Maks can walk.

He was never paralyzed.

- How do you know?
- I know a thing or two about it.

Why didn't you tell me?

I wanted it to last.

I wanted to prolong it. I wanted

a bit of happiness for a cheap lie.

It's nice to be loved.

Or only believe in it.

What will you do after he stands up?

My uncle has lately gone there.

His arm started to grow back
on his way back already.

The left one.

That's wonderful.

Those suffering from psoriasis
heal after one trip.

- Is that so?
- It is.

I heard about one guy

who lost his foot in a meat mincer.

After visiting the place,
one of his toes grew back.

Interesting.

You see?

Dawid, what do you think? As a doctor?

What?

Science is limping without religion,

religion is blind without science.

A doctor knows best.

Thank heaven, I mean, bless you.

- We came for a miracle.
- I have holy water. And pretty Madonnas.

You get a free little Jesus
if you buy two.

Right.

Oh!

It's quite…

Hey,

dear people,
why that grabbing and crumpling,

hand rubbing? You won't buy it anyway.

See?

Oh, wow!

Ma'am!

Get lost, you scare off customers!

Come to me, please,
to see those beautiful things.

Holy garden angels.

- A Black African Jesus.
- What about miracles?

A miracle will happen after you buy

our holy socks from Fatima, made for
the 100th anniversary of the apparition.

Enough of that, Mr. Wiesio.

Father, let me earn some.

You know
I only sell certified goods, right?

I do.

Follow me, please.

Socks from Fatima!

Only here!

- Why don't you try them on?
- Thanks, I can't walk.

Follow me, dears.

I'm a bit scared.

Only you, sir.

Not you, the man in the wheelchair.

Calm down, mom.

The nurse stays here.

I'm not a nurse.

Was it her

in your dream?

Lifelike.

She spoke to a crowd,

I was among those people.

Suddenly, Mother Mary pauses,

looks at me and says,

'Come to me, to receive grace.'

Light was everywhere.

Plenty of light.

Loads of it.

A miracle!

If you stand up now,
you'd lie for the second time.

You are not paralyzed.

Pilgrims leave this place
with an image of her,

with a prayer,

or holy water,
but very seldom with healed legs.

At least not during my tenure.

They come here in search for faith.

After they leave, they want to return
to find it again.

Don't put out
that flame in their hearts, please.

Don't disappoint or hurt them.

It's between you and your conscience.

How did you know?

Your shoes.

Should we try St. Lipka?

Maria…

Here you are.

Thank you.

And now what?

Now? The hot-dogs.

Go, I'll get them.

Julia!

Maks…

It's a miracle!

It's a miracle! He can walk!

He can walk.

It's a miracle.

What?

A miracle.

Only your love like the wind carries me

It braids my hair,

in your hands lets me sleep.

Only you create new worlds just for me

Make me smile every morning,

keep me upbeat.

You're the best dream I've ever had,

And now I'm living that very dream,

It makes the sun shine, and my heart beam.

Today's much better with you near,

Yesterday, tomorrow brought only fear.

You make my sorrows disappear.

My love will let us fly far away.

Flying high forever,

together we'll stay.

Your sweet love,
I don't need nothing more

Darling please believe me,

open the door.

You're the best dream I've ever had,

And now I'm living that very dream…

The agent called.

Found a buyer for the apartment.

She would've found out. I don't blame you.

I found it today.

Father has to see it.

Did you notice?

She's hot for me.

- Which one?
- The one in the wheelchair.

You want money?

We pay for your stay here.

Is that so?

- Did the funeral go well?
- Haven't heard of a failed one.

- You could've come.
- No.

What's wrong, dad?

I'm peeing.

Take it easy. I have a diaper on.

For you.

That shrew swore she'd burnt it all.

There's a letter.

- Open it.
- No, it's for you.

But you brought it.

That's right Lucjan, so...

What, 'That's right Lucjan, so?'

We agreed we'd show it together.

You open it, he reads it.

I won't read.

- I can't.
- What?

I forgot how to.

[Tadzio]

I'm sorry.

Read on.

That's all.

Only 'I'm sorry'?

Maybe

the rest faded in the sun.

I'm sorry...

I knew she'd never quit smoking.

My little shrew.

That you left us,

was your choice.

That I never tried to get you back,

was my fault.

Come to me, Maria.

I was about to leave.

Now. It's urgent.

- I called you...
- Wait!

Since I'm here, I must tell you something.
I'm only your secretary, I know,

I mean, assistant,

I'm your assistant,
entitled to speak to my cubicle walls.

That is my place,

a small, discreet place, I'm discreet too.

Discreet to you, for 12 years.

I do everything for you to value me,
to notice me at all.

I change my outfits,
dress like a Christmas tree,

checkers today, stripes tomorrow,
flowers above, checkers below.

You never told me,
'I like your sweater', or 'Nice pants.'

'New hairdo? You smell nicely.'

Never! You don't even know
if I'm seeing anyone. I'm not.

Not anyone special.

If I wanted to, I could. Like that.

But I don't. It's my choice.

I have more than my laptop,

I have a life
and today is my birthday, but

I don't have an assistant who'd remind you
of your assistant's birthday.

I'm wondering since morning,

what's wrong with me,
what I lack that all those women have,

or, what I have that they lack.

Legs, maybe?

I'm sorry.

I'm hopeless. I didn't mean to say...

I'm sorry.

Maria, wait.

For you.

Happy birthday,

you're a tremendous assistant,
but even a better friend.

I haven't got one like that.

I know.

One more thing.

- I'll be out of office tomorrow.
- Okay.

- Maria.
- Yes?

My regards to your mom.

Get going, we're about to start.

Julia...

Julia.

Excuse me.

You are strong,

brave,

and incredibly beautiful.

You're the most wonderful person
I ever met.

You live and breathe
more intensely than me.

I can walk,

I run,

but I could never be myself.

Of the two of us, I'm disabled.

I'm void and flawed.

You lack nothing.

This is me,

Maks Wandor,

aged 44.

My hairline is receding,
my belly's expanding.

I'm a notorious liar and narcissist.

I've lied for so long
that I forgot who I am,

what the truth is.

I lied out of fear,

I lied because it made things easier.

For years, in the mirror,
I saw a man I formed of those lies.

It wasn't me.

I was afraid to see the truth.

You made me open my eyes.

Now, I see a guy

who isn't heartless after all,

who fell in love for the first time.

So much, that it hurts him.

Who'd like to be loved,

who loves

you.

Julia,

I believe in us.

I ask you to believe in us too.

Wanna race me?

You?

Anytime.
