What will we do,
with everyone wanting to be trained?

Do you think training is worth more
than the lathe?

Is it going to give you
a better livelihood?

Look, it's your decision,
I wouldn't leave this machine behind.

Mr. Tóni. How is someone
supporting a family with two kids

supposed to set aside 14,000 forints
for a driver's license?

I am of the opinion that if you have
a trade, you shouldn't want to be trained.

Continue to man the machines.

We should grow old doing the trade
our parents chose for us at 14?

It's been 15 years, I've been
in this line of work for ten years.

Then I wanted to operate heavy machinery,

felt like driving,
so I came down here for a course.

I feel out of place in the shop now.

I can't wait to switch to driving.
Then eventually I might return.

- A freer life.
- How long have you been at this?

I'm coming up on 14 years.

- And you're bored now?
- After ten years, yes.

It's not that it's gotten boring,
I'm just too old for it now.

I want something else.

Being trained in 3 or 4 different things
doesn't make you dumber or poorer.

It certainly helps gain knowledge.

But financial interests are
not the only consideration.

If I only cared about that,
I wouldn't work here for 12 forints.

If I cared mostly about money,
I'd go work in a mine or something.

A laborer there makes more
than a tradesman here.

Do you feel like you're appreciated?

Financially and in all other ways?

What do you think?

Considering how long
I've been with the company…

- What can I say?
- What can you say?

Nothing, right?
Then why should we stay put for 30 years?

Let's make sure
we stay in the center of the lane.

Good.

- So, a car?
- It is a necessity, that's the thing.

- Big family?
- Yes.

- And…
- Has your little lady given birth yet?

No, she's due on the 30th.

- Yeah?
- Of course.

It would be nice
if this one was a boy, right?

- After two girls, a boy would be nice.
- Right.

- An heir to the throne.
- Only girls in the family.

The Sipos family will disappear.

- Do I go straight here?
- Yeah, then right at the lights.

- OK.
- We'll take Dózsa György street.

Just slow down real nice.

- What gear for the turn?
- Second.

Second. Good.

Don't drive on spaces closed to traffic.

Good.

- Do we stay in this lane?
- Move to the middle one.

Mirror, blinker.

Good. And what kind of car
do you want to get?

- I had something big in mind.
- Something big?

- Three kids…
- Big enough for the family.

With a big trunk.

And yes, the trunk matters, too.

My parents… They don't live in Budapest.

I know, you've told me before.

You know,
with the current vegetable prices and all…

- Food is expensive.
- Supplies for the kitchen.

It would all be taken care of, easy.

If we take the train with three kids,

and bring stuff back, that's not possible.
Only if…

- If I get something…
- I have a car I can recommend.

For around 16,000 forints.

- Sound good?
- That would work for me.

- What make is it?
- An Opel Rekord.

- Yes?
- It has a brand new engine.

The engine alone costs 14,000 forints.

Brand new upholstery,
a radio, a big trunk…

It's enduring, reliable, troubleproof.
I'm not happy to part ways with it, but…

I'd like to sell it.
I have preordered a Dacia, you know?

And, well, it would be nice

to finally have a new car for once.

- Can I check it out?
- Sure.

I'll show you. If it suits you,
I'd be happy to sell it to you.

Nórika, come on over here.

Check these out from the front.

You can look at them, mom,
I have no patience for this.

Look at them, do what you want.

You can take the whole store,
for all I care.

Look at how wonderful these colors are.
Beautiful.

Look.

For God's sake.

I can only see the back.

What pretty things.

How much is this? Oh, well… 6500.

Mom, listen, they make these
on an assembly line in West Germany.

There are a ton of these there.
This has nothing Hungarian about it.

Come on, how would they make these?
It's Hungarian china from Herend.

How would it end up in West Germany?

You can't get this everywhere.

Mom, for all I care,
you can have the whole shelf wrapped.

The kid's waiting for me at home,
look at all these damn…

bags, you've filled them all.

- But…
- It's not that it's for my sister, but…

She has a set like this,
but this vase is really pretty, too.

Can you tell me the price?
I don't have my glasses.

550 forints.

And? Should we buy it?

Mom, you can buy what you want.

You don't care about my problems,

you only care about these knickknacks.

You worry too much about Nórika.
You shouldn't take it so seriously.

- You shouldn't.
- The doctor told me that

the kid will certainly die,
and asked what I didn't tell him earlier.

- She has such a strong character.
- Look at this. Yeah, so strong…

- That's way too big.
- Poor thing,

she never complains.

She even feels sorry for me.

I'll come and buy it on my own tomorrow.

It certainly needs some bodywork,
I'm not going to lie.

That much is certain,
it's a pretty old car.

But it is very reliable
and free of issues.

Let's look at the trunk first.

It has quite a bit of storage space.

Plenty of room.

Well…

Do you sell the jack with it?

- And the spare tire?
- Sure.

You're getting those. Plenty of room,
especially if you put a rack on top.

You can carry even more stuff.

It has a radio.

Go ahead.

- 1500cc.
- Can I sit in it?

Of course. Try it.

Settle in.

It has three gears.

First gear is towards you,
second is up…

- Like so?
- Third is down.

For reverse, you pull up and towards you.

Right.

Good. This is a bit of a slope,
be careful not to slide back.

Put it back in first.
Don't forget to clutch.

Right. Towards you, down.

Very good.

Pull that button out.

- Which one?
- That one. The other one.

- That one.
- Brezhnev said at the Unions' Congress…

- that the USSR aims to strengthen…
- Speakers in the front and the back.

- and socialist countries…
- New upholstery alone cost 5200 forints.

The new engine alone cost 14,000 forints.

…influential powers
opposing these efforts.

The parts alone cost 8000 forints.

The family fits comfortably in the back.

You can move the seat.

…about the supposed violation
of human rights.

The roof upholstery is also new.

- …are also attempting to interfere…
- Let's look at the engine.

- Can we start it up?
- Sure, come on, get out.

We flick the hood open,
the handle for that is in there.

Let's see.

Here is the engine.
Simple, great, troubleproof.

- Yes?
- For sure. Never let me down.

Never. I'll start up the engine.

Brezhnev happily went on to note that…

Like clockwork.

Like a Schaffhausen.

It has a new dynamo, a new battery.

It's running nicely, no?

Now that's a panel. Sturdy.

Still sturdy after 17 years.

The threshold needs to be replaced,
sure, but…

It's reliable.

- Esthetically, too.
- Can I attach a trunk to the top?

Of course. Here you can.

Why? Do you want to carry that much stuff?

I told you what was up with…

my parents.

Sure, it's perfect for that.

What will 16,000 forints get you?

Honestly.

Tell me about the teddy bear.

Tell me a story instead.

What story should I tell you?

The one about the bear,
the hedgehog and the bird.

You can tell that one.

Finally.

Hi, mom.

Hi there. What are you doing here?

That damn stove broke.
We sat inside here all day.

That damn stove, it always breaks.

Grandma, is the doll here?

I promised you,
but you know what I brought you?

What?

- You don't know?
- I don't.

Great-grandma sent you this, look.

- That's from grandma?
- How pretty! Yes.

And you, Szilvike, how are you?

What else did you bring?

- Oh!
- Where'd you meet?

I went to see dad.

I wanted to see how he was doing.

And how is he?

- Pretty sick.
- Let me through, Nórika.

He doesn't even like stuffed peppers,

I mean stuffed cabbage anymore,
you can imagine how bad it is.

- Poor thing.
- He's pretty despondent,

because mom has
emptied the whole apartment.

She has packed it up for Évi.

What for?

She is taking it to her.

She's packed three wardrobe's
worth of clothes for herself.

She's bought herself trendy skirts

and a hat this big.

Frilly stuff.

- Beads. Different ones for each item.
- Jesus Christ.

- What will she wear these for?
- High heels like that.

And dad is pretty depressed

that she might not come home.

Hopefully she wouldn't do that.

Nórika.

- Don't make her wail.
- Have the kids been good?

Yes.

Dad wanted to know

what gift you wanted for the wedding.

- Mommy, can Szilvi do this?
- You said he was sick…

- Hi, little ones. Hi there.
- Look, daddy is here.

Finally.

Chubby.

Hi.

- Are you OK?
- Yeah.

Taste it.

Get this.

At lunch

the head physician stood up

walked over and asked
who had cooked the lunch.

I stayed modest and quiet.

As always.

Like that.

He said, "If you made this,

you deserve a kiss on your hand."

"Last time I had anything that tasted
this good, it was my mother's cooking."

He has a point.

- Is it good?
- Yes.

Chubby?

- Is it OK?
- Szilvi, what do you think?

Szilvi, please.

We will get her opinion soon.

- It's yummy.
- It is?

Poor kid has no appetite.

Appetite is the best cook, right, Szilvi?

Have you seen a doctor?

No?

- How come?
- Who said we'd be seeing one?

It happens.

OK, we are done with dinner.

Chubby, we'll take a bath and go to sleep,
because grandma has to get up early.

- Mom, I wanted to ask…
- I'm not going to sleep.

We'll have to get the playpen out,
before we get started…

You should finish your business
in the bathroom first.

I'm always the one who lies low.

- It's not that you're in the way, just…
- You'd rather I fly like an astronaut?

I wouldn't be in the way.

That would your ideal mother-in-law,
right?

Spaceships come back
within three to four days.

Right, Chubby?

It would be the two of us flying, right?

Nórika, you're eating sweets?

I've eaten it already.

Honey, that's your wire.

- Should I use those?
- No, those.

The mistletoes, and I'll do the pine…

I'll remove this…

Shouldn't we take Szilvike to mom's room?

- If she doesn't fidget, then no.
- Alright.

Look, there is more here…

Your daughter is coming.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

Maybe we should take her
to mom's room after all.

I don't want her to fall off the bed.

OK?

- Will you take her?
- Sure.

Just put them here once you have them.

Come on. Come on, Szilvike.

We'll take you to grandma, OK?

Yes, to grandma.

Where did you put the wire?

- What?
- The wire.

It's right there. And mine is here.

This one is big.
Did you bring no small one?

We'll cut it in half, should be enough.

Honey.

I was thinking we need a car.

What do you think?

- A car?
- A car.

Our third kid is coming and…

- Who knows.
- We might as well buy the Eiffel tower.

When you're done with one,
just put it here. I'll help.

It's just that…

You know, my driving instructor…

He…

He has an Opel.

It's a pretty old car,
but we can't buy a new one anyway.

Even if we end up buying one.

With what money?

What do you think?

The bank's.

I'd rather buy a nice pair of boots
if I got a loan.

Boots? Come on, boots on credit?

- Well…
- Come on.

I was thinking

you could get 5000 forints,
and I could get 5000 forints.

- That's 10,000.
- And where do you get the rest?

That's still only 10,000 forints, no?

Your grandparents could help.

You know they just bought
all sorts of things for Évi.

OK.

How about Jancsi?

They just bought an MZ
for Jancsika's birthday.

If I have to, I'll borrow money
from Uncle Laci.

Here you go.

I knew that's what you would say, but…

If it was up to Uncle Laci, we would have
starved to death in Szigetvár.

I'm sure he'd totally give you
6000 forints for a car.

When would you have to pay?

No later than March 20th.

That leaves us…

a few weeks to…

think it over
and get the money together.

Why would he give it to you for 16,000?

Because he wants to get
another car, a Dacia,

and that's why he needs the money,
to buy that.

Look, he has more money.
If we had 80,000 forints,

I wouldn't want us to get
a car for 16,000.

But he has enough money to buy
a new one with an extra 16,000.

But we don't even have 16,000.
And our three kids need to be fed,

and we would need to pay the two loans.

Plus maintenance costs.

Once the course is over,
I'll start working properly.

- We won't get it sooner anyway.
- Working properly…

- What do you mean?
- You said you'd be an assistant driver.

How much will you be making? 2000?

Then instead of driving, I'll go back
to the lathe. The company needs people.

I can spend the 2-year contract
at the lathe instead of driving.

Then I would be making
3500 to 3600 forints.

Three kids and a car? That's luxurious.

I don't want luxury,
that is not my intention.

I want to drive it to work and the like.

Plus we can also go places on weekends.

We can go, you know, wherever.

You'll drive it to places, and I'll be
washing it when you bring it home.

Sure. I know how it goes.

We'd only need it for a month.

Or maybe two.
Until I get the buzz saw fixed up.

That's 6000 forints right there.

- What buzz saw?
- The one Ilovai needs.

When did he look at it?

The other day. But I didn't want to
tell you in case it was a piece of junk.

So I'm the last person
to find out about the car.

If I start by telling you
that there is a car,

and then it turns out it's not good,
you'd have told me I jumped the gun again

and didn't think ahead.

I thought ahead this time.
Showed it to Ilovai first.

He says it's OK, so now I'm telling you.

Of course he says it's OK,
it needs bodywork, which is his job.

Keep tying them.

Please, understand.

We need this, I can't believe
you can't see that we need a car.

Ilovai will fix it,
and that schmuck will save money.

- What?
- I'm good for taking out a loan,

and paying the debt back,

- but Ilovai is a god.
- You paying the debt back?

What are you?
We are together, we pay it together.

- No?
- What am I? Exhausted, at times.

You just bring your pay home,

whether that's 1400 forints
or 5000 forints,

and I should make it work.

Buy a car with three kids.

I think we can't agree on this.

That's what I feel like.

Maybe I shouldn't push it.
What do you think?

- Push it…
- Tell me in all honesty, I…

I attend this shitty course.

I make 1400 forints. I also do mistletoes,
and basically learn everything there.

I don't have more time.
I go to the market and places.

What else should I do?

The car wouldn't just help me,
but you, too.

It's not about whether it helps us.

It's about whether
that guy wants to deceive you.

Why would he? What's the point?

He didn't tell me to buy the car,
he said he had a car he was selling.

Then why would he deceive me?

He told you
he was holding onto this car for you.

I just told you that's not what happened.

I told him I was looking for a car,
and he told me

I could take a look at his.

He didn't come out
and tell me to pay 16,000.

And anyways,

he promised that if I got
the bodywork done,

he'd take it
to get the technical inspection done.

- When?
- On June 14th.

- That's when it expires.
- And you'd pay for it, right?

How would he give it to me?
I could use the car, too.

The parts I need
I can make at the factory.

I can bring stuff.

Plus I can go get stuff with it.

I stop for 2 weeks
while Ilovai fixes it up and then…

- I can get it inspected.
- And if it doesn't pass?

He knows someone there,
it will pass, 100%.

- I mean…
- Why would he promise that? Listen here!

Try to hear me out for once.
Why would he promise that?

Without being able to deliver.

- He needs the money.
- He didn't tell me to just buy it.

He just told me he was selling his car.

I told him I wanted to buy a car.

Well, if he had a car for sale…

Well, OK, I'm done with the mistletoes.

And everything.

I'm out.

Really.

I guess I'm also getting money.

Sure.

Next month, a lot of it.

Why would you get money?

By giving birth.
It's at least 8000 forints.

That's just for you?

- That's just for you.
- Of course.

Only I work there.

I just meant that you'd only need to
borrow money for a month.

I'm done arguing. We're not getting a car.

Why even try? When you need something,

and I don't agree to it,
it's the end of the world.

That's why I've been begging
for boots for two years.

- You could have gotten a pair long ago.
- Sure.

Is it true or not?

What about these bouquets?

Leave them here,
we'll put them away later.

In the morning.

You'd better come sleep, it's midnight.

I can get three hours of sleep.

I have to take the company bus.

Finish up, turn the lights out,
let's sleep.

Dreaming of a car
will give you enough rest.

- What's that?
- Dreaming of a car will give you rest.

- I do what with a car?
- Dreaming of one will give you rest.

Sure.

You little dragon.

Give me a kiss, will you?

- No?
- No.

- You don't want to?
- No.

- And what's your excuse?
- You already gave me one.

- What?
- You already gave me one.

You could still kiss me.

No?

- Don't tell your mom.
- I won't.

You know how she is.

If we told her we were taking out
a 10,000-forint loan,

she would go:
"Right, you'll take out a loan

for a car, when this apartment needs…

- A curtain.
- A carpet.

A dishwasher.

- A wardrobe.
- A wardrobe.

You name it.

10,000 forints wouldn't even cut it.

Definitely not. But she'd budget it
with some to spare.

Right?

- What else is needed?
- A new husband.

Come on. She sent Lajos packing.

Because he kept opening the windows.

You do, too.

The new husband would do it, too, no?

Well… Everyone has their flaws.

That's right.

You have yours.

- OK, let's sleep.
- Alright.

I don't want to just sleep, I want more.

- But I am very tired.
- Me too.

What then?

So? Car? No car?

I wouldn't completely rule it out.

Depending on what?

On whether the car is actually OK.

Why would I deceive you,
and why would I be deceived?

Well, I don't know.

If we can get the money, you can buy it.

I just don't want you to make a mistake.

Make sure it's a good purchase.

- We might actually end up buying it.
- What?

- Now go to sleep.
- OK.

How much for the tulip?

- How much for the carnation?
- Ten forints.

On Friday I paid eight,
and they looked better than this.

On Friday, my dear? No, you didn't.

We were selling it for 11.
We were here on Friday and Saturday.

You didn't buy it for that much on Friday.

- How much for hyacinth?
- It's all sold.

- I have three left.
- From the greenhouse…

- And the daffodil?
- Two a piece.

- How much for the mistletoes?
- Five.

- Four?
- How many do you want?

Well…

I'd take them all.

But how many are there?

180.

OK. Can you help me carry them?

What's that?

- Can you help me carry them?
- Sure.

- How much for the mistletoes?
- Five a piece.

I'll be back.

I have 10 bouquets left,
the lady has bought the rest.

Do you want them?

I'll take a look around first.

It will sell out.

Thank you. I'm waiting for someone.

- Ma'am, should it go right outside?
- Yes.

Then we won't wait for the young man.
You're getting it, OK?

This, too.

I'll be out in a second.
I'll leave the box here for now.

May I, ma'am?

May I?

- For four forints a piece.
- Yes.

I'm in a hurry, I have to attend
a course at 7 pm, I can't stand around.

Ma'am, please, may I?

May I?

Please, let me through.

You always wake me up.

It would be nice
if you let me sleep for a week.

You'll be late.

I had such a nice dream.

- What did you dream?
- Wow, it's hot.

Guess what, you had a son.

- That must have been nice indeed.
- Your father was there.

My father?

Which one?

My biological father?

You don't usually dream about him.

Wait, let me think.

We were in the hospital.

Then we were standing by the bed
of the little one, both of us.

And you had a son.

- Goodness.
- Yes, a son.

I was wearing a huge mink coat.

Your father was wearing white tails.

We were both looking good.

We were looking at the baby
lying in his crib, and your father went:

"Look at this boy,
he is my spitting image."

- He looked like him?
- Yes.

He was just like your father.

- It was such a cute kid.
- Then he will also look like me.

Surely.

OK then.

Do you feel OK?

My stomach hurt a lot last night.

My stomach hurt a lot last night.

Your stomach hurts? It always hurts.

Your stomach always hurts, kid.

I had such a bad dream.

In my dream I didn't fit through
the hall door in my wheelchair.

In your wheelchair?
That means contractions.

- Contractions?
- Yes.

And the mink coat?

That refers to Canada,
where your father lives.

And it means that…

he has a lot of money.

That he has a big car.

He has a house.

And he may even come home.
Dreams don't lie, kid.

So the wheelchair
probably means contractions.

Certainly.

Oh, God.

Never get old.

Look at me.

What do you mean? You look good.

Sure.

When I was your age,

your father and I were so beautiful,
so young.

Then time passes.

It slowly lapses.

Listen to me, honey.

It's about time you got married.

Don't you think?

How will that help?

How will that help?

Typically, people don't get marry

when they already have
a soccer team worth of kids.

It doesn't matter how modern
someone is in their outlook,

it doesn't matter how independent
a woman is, it is only natural,

for the kids

and for the whole family, to get married.

With a belly this big?

Yes, with a belly that big.

Why?

You won't be the first one, no?

It doesn't matter
how big your belly is, kid.

No one will question it.

For one picture.

By the window will be fine.

Hold his hand.

Look at the…

Now the bride alone.

By the window.

Higher.

Thank you. Now the groom.

Thank you.

- I wish you lots of happiness.
- Thank you.

- Goodbye. Thank you.
- Goodbye.

Who is this woman?

The mother of the bride.
I think she needs lilies in her hand.

For the best overall effect.

What does she do?

She's a laborer somewhere, I don't know.

- A woman like that, a laborer?
- Yes.

- She's good-looking, no?
- Yes.

- Have you not thought about it?
- No.

Her reputation preceded me.

I mean it preceded her.

And you can't afford this thing?

- My family wouldn't be happy about it.
- You should try, no?

You're younger, shouldn't you try?

- I'll introduce you.
- Does the village frown upon it if…

It's not good for the local leader to…

- do that in their own village.
- That's the issue, no?

- Your leadership position.
- Yes.

You want a photo as a souvenir?

- No, thank you.
- I'll take one. Stand by the window.

- Sure, and then you'll mash us together.
- I will do no such thing.

Come on, I'll take a picture.

Come on, let's take a picture.

You should tell her to wave or something,
but that is…

Is there someone in the village, who is,
how do I put this?

Not that I know of.

They have all been out of towners.

Her husbands, too, by the way.

- Multiple?
- Yes, the ones she's had.

How many has she had?

- At least four.
- You get bored of a marriage quickly.

Look, I don't know.

I've been at it for a pretty long time.

- It's the best thing we've come up with.
- That much is true.

She came up with something better.

- Who knows if it's better.
- I'm sure it is.

An independent woman.
Very in vogue these days.

What should I take with me?

I won't find anything I need
because of the mess they've made.

I said it's the underwear
that needed to be packed first.

You don't need these sheets, right?

No, you can put that away.

This goes with the suit,
but who knows where that is.

Can I put it in here?

Yes.

Wait, I have to take something out first.

I'm sure what I need isn't there.
I told you.

It's not here.

Don't you need these shoes?

I can't exist without it.

Don't you need these shoes?

It's best that I hang some clothes.

Isn't it underneath the cabinet?

What shoes are you even looking for?

One of the brown ones.
It's most comfortable one I have.

And my medication.

I had it in my hands just now.

I haven't seen it.

Can you dictate the information?

- Full name of mother.
- Erzsébet Szász.

Stop moving already!

- Father's name?
- They make the stupidest suitcases.

Grandma, father's name?

Whose father's name?

- Your father's name.
- Right.

I don't know.

- You don't know?
- I don't.

- What do you mean?
- I never knew him.

- What should I put here then?
- Strike it out.

Like for dead people.

- He's gone now.
- I can't put "dead" there.

Just cross it out, OK?

I'll write "unknown".

- What?
- I'll write "unknown".

Right.
Is that what you're supposed to write?

Everyone has a father.

You've never told me this.

Well, why would I tell you
if I don't have to?

Tell me, Nórika.

What should I give Évike?

What? I want to give her these.

I'll show you something.

When she was home,
she asked if she could take this.

I'll show you what.

- Look, what a beautiful bird, right?
- How do you want to take that with you?

I'll put it in the suitcase. Right now.

I hope the tail won't stick out.

Or the customs official will
surely take it.

Didn't you tell me
your father was a baron?

Nórika, that is a secret.

If I told you,
because I've never told anyone…

If I told you, you'd think I'm lying.

- Why?
- It sounds romantic, you know?

It sounds romantic.

Like how you're pregnant now, you know,

and you'll give birth to this baby,

that's how I was born.

My mother was from Transylvania.

And she was a chambermaid in Transylvania,

working for a certain dr. Baron Izsekucz.

Do you understand? And…

And somehow a romance was born

or she met the same fate

as many maids,

whom the lords…

you know it.

So she got pregnant,
and was brought to Budapest,

to Bársony Hospital.

And when I was born, I was sent to Baja.

I was raised by a married couple.

And my mother was taken back
to Transylvania.

And I never saw her after that.

I didn't know my mother or my father.

And I can forgive you,

because even though you're pregnant,
even if that boy didn't marry you,

it wouldn't bother me.
I would raise the baby if I had to.

What about my father?

Let's not talk about him.

Why? I'm also a love child.

He might have married your mom,

but his parents didn't want him to and…

Iván's mother asked me multiple times
to take me to her,

and I took you,
but I really came to regret it.

Because I just felt ashamed.

They had you stand in the corner

and I had to stand.

They didn't even offer me a chair.

What kind of behavior is that?

So I swore that
we wouldn't go there ever again,

nor mention his name to you.

And then the counterrevolution
happened in '57.

And he defected, like a punk.

He defected and got married there.

And he has four children I know of.

How did I become a Csatt?

Or was I not a Csatt?

Because the law here

accepted his name, because they knew…

your mom was able to prove it, you know?

No. He was still here at the time.

They took his blood,

and ascertained that he was your father.

And then…

- That must have been awful.
- That's how you found out.

It was awful.

Grandpa didn't want to let him in,
didn't want him to bring you home.

- How are you, dear?
- She's at six months. Potential preemie.

And right now? Well? Very good.

Let's hope all of this will help.

What we have done so far.

Let me take a quick glance,
and check the uterine tone.

That is reassuring. No contractions today?

No cramping?

- You can feel it move, though?
- I can.

- Good. You want a boy or a girl?
- A girl.

A girl, OK.
So the contractions should end,

and it should be a girl, OK?

The outlook is promising, don't worry.

Well?

You were napping?

Sorry for waking you.

But rounds are important.
How are you feeling?

Good? No complaints?

Yes, she is the future mom who…

- She has had two C-sections before.
- Yes.

And how are you? No complaints?

Why were the first two surgeries…

- The patient had polytrauma injuries.
- Yes.

- The first time.
- Yes.

Weak contractions and the previous
C-section justified the second.

Yes. I see.

An injured foot and pelvis?

- What happened?
- Spinal injury.

Let's see.

- Fetal cranium ultrasound?
- 9.2.

- 9.2 biparietally. Well…
- Yes.

Its position,

fitting against the pelvic inlet,

and its size, all of this information

tells me that carrying it term is…
Yes.

Given that the expected due date
is March 31st,

that mostly matches the results
of the clinical examination.

I think the best way forward

in light of past events,
since you've already had 2 C-sections,

is to have another one this time.

So let's schedule the surgery
for Thursday.

It will take place after

the usual necessary preparations.

Fret not, everything will be in order.

Another question I just asked
someone else: you want a boy or a girl?

- After two girls, a boy.
- After two girls, a boy.

I promise we'll do our best. OK?

I wish you all the best.

How are you, my dear? How do you feel?

Well? No complaints?

Will the kid be dancing at the wedding?

Listen up, Cannibal, there is something…

You've been married.

- Yeah, it went wrong.
- You're divorced, right? You told me.

- Did you learn from it? No.
- This much.

- Nóra said she wouldn't marry you.
- That's why I'm not getting married.

What's up with your dad?

- What's up with your dad?
- Jencike, listen.

Listen, guys.

You're a more serious guy
than Cannibal, so…

- Why?
- Sorry.

- You just went to the Lityis, done.
- Forget it.

Forget it, he wants to talk.

I don't just need a license,
I also need a car.

You need to buy a car…

I don't need a license for the company.

- Jencike! I already have a trade.
- You need it for honest work.

Your honest trade doesn't matter
if you can't make a living.

- I'll listen to you.
- Then shut up.

Sorry. I'll just tell you.

Marika, leave us alone,
I'll be vulgar now.

Listen, Jenci!

- You make enough with some illegal work.
- I'm pretty tall now.

Some illegal work
and you'll have the money.

But that's not guaranteed, buddy.

Whereas with the lathe,
that money is guaranteed.

Where? Tell me, where? For whom? Where?

How will the drivers' training help?

- You tell me.
- How is he going to make a living?

He doesn't need to steal.

- What should he do then?
- Honest work.

Let's not work then.

I won't fix your hammers
if you talk to me like that.

You shouldn't.

And your chisels and all the rest.

Jenci. Kiddo. Listen.
What am I talking about?

- Wait a little.
- Let him speak.

You know that my parents
don't live in Budapest.

Fuck, I have three kids now.
The third one is coming soon.

Already have two, third on the way.

Vegetables, eggs
and everything you can imagine,

fruits and all that…

I can bring it all up here.
Not just for myself, but for sale, too.

You're so dumb, Jenci.
You live in Budapest

and you don't know
how much you pay for what.

- You're wrong.
- Why am I wrong?

With your vegetables in order,
you think life will be good?

Where is the apartment?

I'll get one for the third kid.

- Or whatever, I don't know.
- Too bad your mom is so far away.

- You'll get the apartment.
- Cannibal, you are a true poet.

I've told you this before.

That makes sense.

He wants to transport
his dad's vegetables.

Kids don't need that many vegetables.

- Bananas, tropical fruits.
- No.

Listen…

One orange, two bananas,
the kid is taken care of.

If I want to go see my parents
with three kids,

I carry two, my wife carries one.

If we go by train, no luggage, nothing.
I can't take anything with me.

That's why you need to get your license,
buy that car, I'll fix it up for you…

If you don't stay with the company,
you'll have to pay…

But I'll stay on as a lathe operator.
They don't have one.

The two-year contract says…

Why do you need a license then
if you stay on?

- To transport his dad's vegetables.
- For self-defense, I told you.

- For self-defense?
- I need that license for self-defense.

Janika, you're a true poet.
Forget about it.

We'll go to Lityis and discuss it.

Eat that damn apple, buddy.

Table manners say
you don't speak with your mouth full.

You're worth as much as
a zephyr cloud with a… how does it go?

A safety lock on a paper bag.

- That's how much you're worth.
- Let's not exaggerate.

- A true poet.
- Have you been a soldier?

- If I had a license,
- Then at ease.

I'd get in a car and drive.

- Doing illegal work for the old man?
- I want to buy a car.

- That's why I asked an old driver.
- I'll fix it up for you.

That's why I asked for his advice.
There is a shitty Opel,

I want to buy it for 16,000 forints,
if I manage to get the money together.

I don't have it now,
but I can get it together.

- It has a good engine.
- Don't get into debt.

Jenő!

Jenő!

Jenő!

What the hell are you doing up there?

What am I doing?
I told you the chimney needed to be fixed.

We need to empty it out first and all.

Bring the bucket.

- Which one? This green one?
- What?

- This one?
- That one.

Wait, no, bring the other one.

Which one will it be? Make up your mind.

Bring the other one.

Wait, bring the pan, too.

The trowel, too.

Hey, Jenő!

Yes?

- Bring the hammer, too.
- What the hell else?

Come on down and get it yourself,
I have work to do inside.

- Listen, Jenő, I'm coming down.
- Alright.

I suggest you let go of everything,
you'll get down quickly.

Jenő!

It's raining soot inside.

- Come on and…
- I told you I'd whitewash it, that's it.

- Come on.
- Stop jerking me, you need to understand

that I am a grown man.

I do what I want.

End of story.

- And am I not a grown woman?
- You also do what you want.

You can work on the roof,
I will work on the whatever…

the whitewashing.

Don't make it blue,
it won't go with the curtains.

Then I'll put yellow in it
and make it green.

- There you go.
- I'll just pour the blue in this one.

- I'll make it in this one.
- OK.

You won't do it.

- There.
- OK. I'll go get water and make it.

Jenő, don't get on my nerves.

Why argue over this so much? Tell me.

This whole painting affair
isn't worth all that.

Maybe not for you, it is for me.

Why do you insist on that damn blue?

I wanted to welcome my kids into
a clean apartment, with no mess.

You can go do what you like.

But that will be done, too, Jenő.

Please realize that you're dealing
with an adult with kids now,

and they are my responsibility, not yours.

I won't let them go, with you sending
them to Klárika's without telling me.

You can be sure of that.

God damn it.

If you want to paint your room
bright green, go ahead.

But this one will be blue.

Rest assured.

Because it would take so much work
to try that, right?

And I won't be buying a green carpet,
but a bright blue one.

Come on now.

No, I told you, I'm whitewashing.

The room is much more important to me
than your roof.

- The room will be finished, too. Come on.
- I just don't know when.

Come on now. I didn't mean to offend you.
Stop blustering.

- Grab that end.
- I won't.

- I can't understand why we can't agree.
- Come quickly.

I told you I've measured it and all.

- Why do you need to…
- Stop blustering, come on now.

We'll try it and then
I'll help you inside with the paint, OK?

You see, isn't it much better
to start off like that?

- All the work gets to you.
- I've told you I've measured it already.

We can let the professor know.

Wait.

What?

OK. It's already sliding off.

It will keep coming off, I can't tie it.

- Is that OK?
- Yes, but my glasses will fog up.

Thank you.

May I?

- Not yet.
- Not yet.

OK.

The wipe is here.

Please pull up my mask,
it keeps sliding off my nose.

- Will that be OK?
- The top, too.

To the top of my head.
That's right. Tie it there.

- Will that do it?
- Pull it back a little.

Good.

- You can start.
- I can?

Let's see.

Forceps.

Hold it with the instrument.

You can keep going.

Good.

We need some more at the bottom.

We are in no rush, just make it quick.

Scissors.

Wait.

Don't pull it out yet.

I'm rupturing the sac.

Wait.

Push it.

Very good.

No, no rush.
Leave the umbilical cord for now.

Let it.

Hold it here.

There you go.

- Is it a boy or a girl?
- A boy.

A boy.

Some uterus stimulant wouldn't hurt.

- Penicillin, streptomycin.
- Yes.

Are you on it, guys?

- Ready, professor?
- Just a second.

The surgery is over.

Everything is in order.

Thank you, professor.

You had a son. You know?

Alright then.

Everything is OK.

Are you sure it's a boy?

It's a boy.

Where is his dad?

Are you feeling well?

It hurts a lot.

Are you happy?

A beautiful little boy. Have you seen him?

- You haven't seen him?
- Only his little hand.

- Beautiful.
- Yes?

He's big, 3.4 kg.

- And it's a boy?
- Yes. There is no doubt.

You know what you said last night?

"It was worth it then." Was it?

Careful, don't lift him.

How cute.

How cute.

You see how hungry he is?

Hi.

Which lunch will he be given?

Why, this one, of course.

- Which one?
- You see, he's eating.

That's all he needs.
He can't chew meat yet.

Imagine him eating breaded chicken.

Jenő, put some gravy on the chicken.

- Like that?
- Yes.

- He's drinking, right?
- Just put the gravy on top.

Is there a lot of it in there?

Check the sausage lest it gets burned.

- Should I put gravy on that, too?
- Yes.

- In the other one, too?
- Yes.

Do you remember
when we were feeding Szilvike?

When she was this small?

Yes, I remember.

Are you happy we're home?

Were you looking forward to it?
I missed you so.

- I missed you, too.
- Yes?

And how were you able to go that far?

The ambulance took her,
don't you remember?

- What?
- Don't you remember?

The ambulance took her?

Can't you remember
the ambulance taking her at night?

The white car? No?

That was the ambulance?

Mom, why do you have that?

That was on your little brother's
belly button.

Szilvi still has cologne on her head.

- Why, did he hit it?
- No.

- Why then?
- Does he no longer need it?

- Why'd you remove it then?
- I didn't. I didn't know where it went.

You put it there, I wondered why.

I always take a peek like a witch.

- Did you send a telegram to mom?
- Yes, of course.

- To my brother?
- Yes.

And why did you put it there?

Because his belly button still hurts,
I need to put talcum powder on it.

And put this on it
so it doesn't get dirty.

Don't touch it all over, put it down. OK?

- Here?
- Yes.

Put it down real quick,
before it gets dirty.

Good.

Poor thing, it hurts nonstop, right?

- Not nonstop.
- Day and night.

It will hurt for a while.

Then it will pass.

How did you bring him home?

We took a taxi.

- He rode in a car.
- Didn't you see us arrive in the car?

But I didn't see how you came.

We came by car.

Then we walked inside.

- What did you do with Szilvike?
- They acted up.

- Right?
- We acted up.

- Really?
- I told you.

Tell your dad I was asking you, not him.

You have
the most beautiful eyes and teeth.

- I do? You like my looks?
- Yes.

That was just beautiful!

It was beautiful.

Dear comrades,

I can tell you that this only worked,
because you helped.

If you hadn't helped,
I would have been lost long ago.

- That's true. Beautiful.
- Dad!

Let's drink to that.

- It was a convincing choir.
- You deserve it, you were fairly…

Just don't get lost under the table.
You have a lot of glasses in your hands.

No, I'll be careful.

He's already spilled the wine.
He hasn't even drunk yet.

I think we should drink to the newborn.

- I did it.
- Hurray.

Anyone with empty glasses. Dad.

- I don't want any, son.
- To my son's health, just a teeny bit.

I have some left, I'll drink that.

- Just a tiny bit.
- Yes.

Guys, as for the newborn,

we just wish him strength to put up
with what life metes out to us.

Nothing more than that.

Not what it metes out to us,
what it metes out to him.

What he will become also depends on us.

To the heir's health, OK?

To Jenőke!

To our sweet little great-grandson!

Thank you very much.

- To his health.
- He's only my grandson.

And he's my great-grandson.

Sorry.

Cheers!

The horseradish.

I'm turning 46 and if all goes well,
I will have 6 grandchildren by June.

- Six?
- Six.

That's something.

Guys, the truth is, my mom is behind,

she has four kids and two grandchildren,

and I have one kid
and three grandchildren.

I raise my glass to the baby,

to the mom

and to the family.

And to their little son.

I started with the baby.

I will not be reciting a poem,
just wish you lots of happiness.

- Hurray.
- Hurray.

- Long live the newborn! Cheers!
- Long live the newborn!

Guys, we'd like the council head
to say something nice to the baby.

Allow me, in this great moment of joy,

to wish with much love

that this little person's

lawfully recorded name

always shine brightly

and that he become a very honest
and strong grown man.

Dear little Jenő, I'm your godfather,
even though you can't see me right now.

And you don't even know who I am, right?

In that case, I'll tell you
that I'm a policeman.

And I'll watch over you and make sure

that you're a very good little child.

What I wish is

for your life's thread to soar high,

so that you can become a Gagarin,
and fly high.

Today is its anniversary.

I think I am the happiest of us all,

because I have 5 grandchildren,
of which exactly one boy.

I am so happy
I don't even know what to wish.

Most of all I wish him and his parents
strength and health.

And now cry.

I wish for you
to become strong, joyous and happy.

Love women.

Follow in your father's
and grandfather's footsteps.

And live a good life.

It's great-granddad's turn now.

As your great-granddad, my wish,

because of our hard work in this lifetime

with my son,

is for there to never again be a war

like the one in the time
of the Austrian monarchy.

Be strong,

and be as honest

as your forefathers were

before you.

Your turn.

This child will be a bomb disposal expert.
I'll pass him on.

My dear Jencike! Become a big man.

Be as honest as your dear dad.

Live long and be happy.

With your dad and mom.

I don't know what else to wish you.

Be a very big man. Very tall, Jencike.

Look at me at least.

Géza, can you hold him?

Of course I can.

- You won't say anything?
- Me?

Listen. It's my turn now.

I'm your two sisters' godfather.

I won't be your godfather,

but I will still care for you.

All I ask of the Creator is for you

to be like me and your dad.

A serious man.

God no!

- Always have some beer with you.
- You're asleep now,

but you'll understand when you wake up.

That's all I wish for you:

for God to bless you and take care of you.

I think you have potential.

I'll have you now, honey.

I welcome you as a newborn.

Be blessed.

And I ask that God help you

live your life in joy and happiness.

But I also hope,
because we are in need of one,

that you will become
a good lathe operator.

They are in short supply.

I hope that by the time you grow up,

being a lathe operator
will be a very well paid trade.

Hey, mother, mother

My dear mother

On a sad Sunday afternoon

Nice music is being played
Outside our house

And I am being called up as a soldier

One more glass?

Nice music is being played
Outside our house

And I am being called up as a soldier

Long live Hungarian fathers!
