MOBILE GROCERY

We have a problem.

I'll chop her head off!

She disappeared. I have to go back to Sofia.

I'll come tomorrow, don't worry.

Is everything OK with the stuff?

No, it's your mother!

I want you to find her! Period!

Even if she's gone to Mars! Got it?

Are you hiding from someone? - No.

Composer ROUMEN TOSKOV

So where are you going, sweetie?

Well...

My destination exactly.

A guy came to Sofia carrying crystal balls.

But he fell at the station and the balls broke.

A cop called Dick was there and ran to phone the hospital.

So the cop says: ''A guy fell here and broke his balls.''

And the other guy goes: ''What about the dick, is it OK?''

''Well, Dick's speaking!''

So, where am I taking you, anyway?

I'm going to a village out there in the border area.

Don't you have any ID?

So you are 16!?

STATE ORDER ON THE STATE BORDER

Oh hi.

Where are you going? Given up, eh? They let us through!

Where are you going? Where do you think you're going?

I'll find you anywhere you go!

Assistant Directors NINA KIROVA LYUBOMIR POPOV

Nobody lives here anymore. The village's over there.

Hey, what's that? - That's the tower.

What is up there? - Nothing, just some crazy guy.

Will he have any sweets? - The grocery's coming.

About time! It took him too long!

How are you, old rascals?

Have you got my seedlings?

I've got everything. And whatever else you want.

Here's your flour.

There's the sweets now.

Isn't that Kostadin's daughter?

No, that's not her.

Hey, isn't that Kostadin's daughter? - It's not her, we said it!

Why not? - You're deaf as a stone!

Not Kostadin's!

Isn't that Kolyo's older one?

Kolyo has sons only!

She might be Yordanka's. The one who lives with her brother now.

Yordanka's girl is blond!

Isn't she Pavel's daughter?

We don't have a Pavel here.

She looks kind of lost. - If she's lost, she should ask!

If she tells us where she's going, we can show her the way!

Why has she come here? - I don't know.

And why has she come here?

I don't know!

Let's go, it's noon already.

We are leaving! - No!

I have to pee! - Not again!

I have to pee! Stop the car! - You want to pee all the time!

There's a gas station ahead, be patient!

I have to pee! Where are we going?

I said where are we going! - It's none of your business!

And the sluts you bring home, what about them?

It's my home! I can bring whoever l want! We're not married!

You promised to get me a job!

And I did - you're my housekeeper!

Housekeeper, my ass! More like your house fuck!

In case you don't find something better.

Don't you enjoy it?

I thought you enjoyed it!

I did, before I knew you for what you really are!

So what am I?

Shithead!

Do me a favour - just keep your mouth shut from now on!

I have to pee! - Shut up!

Tell me where we're going, or I'm going to pee!

She hasn't stirred all day!

The sun is setting!

It's setting because the day is over!

You're talking bullshit. - Go on, say something wise!

Whatever you say, we've heard it 100 times!

So what's there to talk about? - How about the weather?

But the sun's part of the weather, isn't it?

It is part of the weather! Because...

It's in the forecast after the broadcast.

Alex didn't come. He had to pay us today.

The Teacher came and said he's coming tomorrow.

Why'd you listen to this wacko at all?

He's been coming on this same day for 3 years!

The Teacher said he's coming tomorrow.

He's a looney! - What kind of a teacher is that!

I'm thinking... I'm going to take this girl to my place.

Would you leave her in the open for the night? It's a sin!

She hasn't eaten all day, poor child!

Haven't you heard the newspapers?

Do you know what happens to old women?

She can rob you, for example.

Rob me! She'll have to squeeze blood out of a stone!

Robbery is nothing! They kill so many old women.

And rape them!

That's my thing!

I'll join my old man up there!

It's been 20 years since we last...

saw each other!

Just great!

OK, I'll go get her.

RICHARD BACH ''ILLUSIONS''

Tell me where we are going, or I'm going to pee!

I hope a sweaty gypsy fucks your ass in jail...

and beats you!

Where are you going?

Where do you think you're going?

I'll find you anywhere you go!

Now, welcome!

Come on.

Come on, eat.

You haven't eaten all day, come on!

Poor child!

My own children I buried young!

I buried my husband 20 years ago.

I buried also my son-in-law.

And my daughter, too. Radka was her name.

I buried her but... my grandson was to blame.

He joined the army.

Her son, I mean, Christo.

He joined the army to guard the border

and something just got to his head!

One day he took off all his clothes

but his underwear,

and bare-foot too,

jumped the border and escape to Greece.

That's what the army told us.

And Radka, she got off her nut.

She used to sit at the doorway day after day,

just sitting and watching the road, and rocking like this.

She'd been rocking back and forth,

and one day I brought her some water.

And I look at her, and she's... like that!

And that's how Rada died.

I buried her as well and remained all alone.

I was all alone...

But I'm now not alone!

You'll stay here with me.

We'll have a great time together, the two of us!

Oh, what's that? Something to make portraits with?

Come on, make a portrait of me!

To keep my memory. That's it!

Tell me, do I look pretty like this?

Here, like this.

FOURTH MONTH + ONE DAY

Didn't you learn her name, at least?

How could I - she wouldn't say it! She doesn't talk.

How come she wouldn't say it? She doesn't talk.

How come she doesn't talk!?

God, and you let her in your house! You're crazy!

She's just crying. Crying all the time.

I touched her pillow this morning.

It was dripping wet! Dripping, I tell you.

I just call her Missy -

because she's a sweet little miss.

Oh! Where are her pants?

On her butt!

What town did you say you came from?

Do you hear that?

I don't know this town, do you?

How old are you?

Look at my medals,

I've been wearing them my whole life!

That's right, wear them! They'll keep you warm!

Whatever she told you, stays in this room!

Sergeant Asparuhov! ID, please.

Good day to you!

Go on, tell us! - Make room!

Did she say anything? Tell us about Missy.

There's nothing to tell!

What is she doing here in this wilderness?

There isn't even a doctor here.

What do you mean, wilderness?! I live here!

Welcome!

Just look at you! A real hunk!

He used to be one...

The last time he came he was all shaggy.

Hurry up to the spot!

We're leaving! - No!

Hurry, I have things to do!

Bye, Alex, see you next year!

And bring us more seed the next spring!

See you in March! And bring more seeds!

It's none of your business!

See you in March!

... in March. And bring more seeds!

We're leaving! - No!

Missy, I came to introduce myself.

My name is Todora.

You don't tell your name, but that's OK.

You don't tell your name, but that's OK.

This is from my granddaughters' dowry.

Take it!

I want you to come to my home and take all the dowry!

I worked so hard to make those things!

I don't want them to be wasted.

My granddaughters are very emancipated.

They live at the end of the world... In Sweden.

They're so new-fangled, they don't even want to get married!

Oh, sweet little thing...

I hope a sweaty gypsy fucks your ass in jail...

...and beats you!

...a sweaty gypsy fucks your ass in jail...

...and beats you!

...and beats you!

Buy someone to love you!

Missy, I'm uncle Yanaki,

Yanaki Stoilov Vetrin.

This here's a gift for you.

My son, he's in Morocco now.

Don't listen to them when they say he got crazy!

When he came back from the army,

I couldn't make him come down from the roof for 2 weeks!

He was mending the roof-tiles. He was alright!

And so happy! Some people say he was too noisy.

That's not true - their heads are full of noise!

He was in the navy for 3 years. They sent the boys away on ships.

He'd been afraid of water since childhood!

So they sent him back, and first he was all right.

But one day...

I came back from the field and the house was as good as new!

It was painted! lnside, too...

The rooms and everything... All blue!

And he was sitting in the yard,

absolutely happy!

He painted everything, everything around!

Once the hedge, then a part of the field...

You won't believe it, but he bought all the blue paint around!

It's 40 km to the nearest town. He trod the way! Up and down!

Carrying buckets on his back like a donkey!

Then the doctors came again... And took him in. But he ran away.

I don't believe them doctors! l went to town.

But l...

I could tell he'd been there!

Then came a letter.

A letter from him. lt turned out he was in Morocco!

Right next to some water!

And this water...

It's the bluest water in the world!

And everybody there loved him so!

Did you tell her already? Missy,

I've found a house for you! I mean we've found it.

My very own house? - A real palace!

So you've been sitting here all day telling tall tales to the girl?

It's the only empty house around with a roof on it!

And there's a floor, too!

And not a window broken!

Can I see it now? - Well... No!

But why? - It will be a surprise!

Shut up!

You're so stingy! You haven't brought her anything!

I'm repairing my radio!

He's been repairing it for the last 10 years!

One wall only!

Ah! Look here!

Where is your underwear?

How will you live through the winter with these strings only?

Doesn't she take a bath way too often?

She does, but there's nothing wrong with that!

This is the city way, they say.

Everybody there takes a bath. Each and every day!

This can't be real!

Ah! What's that? - Well... nothing.

How come a red something appears suddenly at the square

if it is ''nothing''?

I'm gonna miss you.

Take care, OK!

I heard he grew up here. - Do you buy that?

My man, I know they get chicks from here.

I wish I was a fag - they could get me out, too.

Do you want a picture, lady?

Pardon? - Do you want a picture of the baby?

Yes.

That's 10 levs.

THIRD MONTH

THIRD MONTH

Are these letters?

This here looks like ''M''.

It's ''M'', but more compact.

Yeah, right! Like ''M'' for ''moon''. - You'd say it's ''M'' for Morocco!

That's a little ladle! - What an inventor!

Shut up!

And you're a thief, but I'm not telling this to anyone!

So, here's ''D''? It's ''M''.

I pity your wife! You don't touch her!

''M'' for ''Mobile grocery'', ''D'' for ''driver''!

What driver?

This here, it starts with ''D''!

The van that brings the groceries...

Is there someone here, whose name starts with ''D''?

That driver! Driver starts with ''D''!

Hey, listen! It's like...

Just look at the pickets of your fence!

Fence? You've fenced off your wife!

I know! This'll make a nice grave-lamp.

It's been 70 years! Same old fight!

...stop making passes at her, or I'll chop your dick off!

Hey, what are you doing? - Don't touch me!

I don't need your help! You almost killed me!

Maybe I should have!

Go on, do it!

Why don't you do it for everyone to see!

Stop shouting!

Just look at him! He's lying in his throat!

I only threw him in a barrel full of rain water.

Even a rat can't drown in there!

And how he pretended to be a great swimmer

just to impress my woman!

He couldn't swim, but he was swimming all the same!

She was my woman! - Your woman, my ass!

Inventor! - You ruined her life!

And you'd have made it blue!

He thinks that because he's so loud

people won't dare tell him the truth to his face!

Do you think that people believe you

about your crazy son and Morocco?

Don't you believe him, he's a liar!

I only saw a blue donkey!

You're an idiot, just like your son!

My son...

At least I have a son!

Just look at the pickets of your fence!

It's all about property with you ...

For the stingy heart even the world is not enough!

You're right. Quite right about the property.

And with you, it's about seducing married women!

Why don't you just swap them?

Oh, uncle Stoyo.

What's up?

Well, what can I say...

I have no children, you see...

SIXTH MONTH

Take old Mitra for instance- she passed away last year...

She had 23 grandchildren!

She had 11 sons

and 16 great-grandchildren!

She had a lot of stories to tell!

About their marriages, about their studies...

There was no end to her stories!

Missy, there's something I want to tell you...

It's the only thing I have.

Her name is Martha.

SEVENTH MONTH

EIGHTH MONTH

NINTH MONTH

Missy, is that you? You scared me!

There's nothing to fear. All women here have given birth.

When's the mobile grocery coming? - The day after tomorrow.

It's coming the day after tomorrow. Now go inside.

Don't go out in the cold!

No more music for you!

Fuck you, peasant asshole! - Hey, stop spitting!

Fuck you, peasant!

Hey, stop spitting!

Where are you going, Missy? - Where's the grocery?

Gone. lt was here yesterday - it's not coming today.

Yesterday?!

When is it coming next? - In a month or two.

When the snow melts.

They used to clean the roads, now there's nobody to do it.

What are you doing, Missy? Tell me...

Making snowmen, can't you see?

Look at him, he's really gone nuts!

As if that idiot in the tower isn't enough, and now we have two!

Three!

Missy!

New Year's Eve is coming! And the holidays!

So what? - We'll all celebrate together!

How do you celebrate New Year's Eve? - On New Year's Eve we watch TV.

So you watch TV...

This year we'll watch TV at your place!

Come on, dear, have some tea. - Screw your tea!

What's wrong with you, dear?

Have some tea...

We'll watch TV together on New Year's Eve with you!

... my dear home land...

You are a paradise on earth.

Your beauty, your charm, they are endless.

''I'm 83 years old...''

Man, imagine living there!

I'll grow some nice pot!

Tons of it! Tons!

''... then I got married here...''

''...and I'm just praying...''

It's not funny at all! Poor old people!

Why would you care? It's Mars!

Even if it's Mars! People live there, too!

Not people, but Martians!

And there's no atmosphere there!

Stinkers!

Do you exercise?

Is your job stressful?

Do you eat healthy food?

With our combination of vitamins and minerals...

Scream, Missy!

That'll ease the pain!

Push!

The baby's coming!

Just a bit more!

Push!

Why isn't she screaming? - Why should she?

Screaming is easy, giving birth isn't!

It's almost over!

Push a bit more! - Look, there's the head!

There's the baby!

There's his little thingy!

Is it a boy?

It's a boy!

What's going on there? - They'll come down, don't worry.

Men shouldn't go up there!

Even if she's not screaming...

Be careful not to bring bad luck on him!

What'll come out from this baby?

A human being, what else!

It's a boy!

... Oh Christmas, on Christmas was God's child born!

What for Christ care are you singing?

That's a Christmas song you're singing!

Well, Christ was born, too!

Christo we shall name him!

We name him Christo!

I wonder where she is now.

What do you care, you bastard? If she's not here, she's just great!

You're the bastard!

You mean I too am a bastard! - Yeah, you too are a bastard.

Yeah well... Who cares!

See how cute he is!

Whatever happens, he shouldn't join the army!

He'll be our village major! - ...and we'll find him a wife!

...he'll be the new shoemaker! No way!

2 MONTHS (After Christo)

Maybe she has some problems, poor child.

Problems? What problems could that be!

What problems! We gave her everything!

We got her a house, we mended the roof,

we gave her furniture, she could ask for nothing more!

Piece of cake! Giving birth is the easiest part!

What comes next - that's what's important!

Raising him, giving him education

and a decent trade...

If she wants to go, let her go! We won't stop her.

But I'm not giving Christo up! - The child? No way!

Christo is ours! - She can do whatever she wants!

Whatever she wants!

We won't get in her way. Are we clear on that?

But Christo - no way!

We won't back up!

I count on your support!

That's what I want from you! As for her...

Careful!

Where are you going?

Where do you think you're going?

I'll find you anywhere you go!

Did you eat your nettle soup?

You should eat it - you'll have more milk!

It is good for our Christo!

When did it all start? - 3 days ago.

She doesn't go out at all,

she just lies in her bed and doesn't eat.

Oh, God! - I'll get Christo out in the sun.

It's nailed up!

It's nailed up!

I know.

Where did she take that paint from?

Can it be blood?

No, she has no cuts - I checked. Maybe it's from...

lt can't be true!

So where are you going, sweetie?

Where do you think you're going?

Those were my sheets she used!

Who is the father? - We don't know a thing!

You slapped me twice.

Cut the emotions.

Your turn!

Ouch!

No room for two kids in my tower.

I was all alone... But now I'm not alone!

I've found a house for you!

She'd been gallivanting all day yesterday!

Christo was with her! I hope he didn't catch a cold.

Missy!

We've brought you a radio!

Super!

Who's that guy in the tower?

He came here in a big red car.

It was shiny and nice. - And full of books, too.

He wanted to be a teacher, he said.

I once saw him cook his lunch... hanging from robes!

There were only 3 children in the village then

but he wanted to be a teacher! - He moved into the school.

And then?

He did all kinds of noisy and stupid things.

He made some desks and a blackboard.

Then in the autumn the parents came

and told him they were moving to town

for the children's sake.

When he heard that... He just vanished into thin air.

Later on, we found him in the tower.

God, he was a bag of bones back then!

A few days later he went to the town.

He sold his red car and bought some sheep.

To become a shepherd! - A mystery!

This guy's a mystery to me!

MOTHER

What took you so long?

Treasure-hunters broke into my tower

while I was away with the sheep.

They built a fire using my books.

They'd been cold, so they made me busy.

They made you busy?

I had to burn the rest of the books.

You've burnt the books?

Now they'd be cold next time!

But I've written down the essential things.

You wrote the essential things? - To not forget them!

And that's what you were doing all the day - writing?

First, I had to find out what the essential things were.

I finished his cradle.

So what? Everybody's doing something for him!

What do you want? - To put my tongue in your mouth.

What else do you want?

I want you to split me open,

I want you to open my legs so wide

that my soul would fly away free at last... like a bird...

...to breathe some fresh air.

What's that?

However innumerable sentient beings are, I vow to save myself.

However inexhaustible the defilements are, I vow to extinguish them.

However immeasurable the dharmas are, I vow to master them.

However unattainable Buddha's way is, I vow to attain it.

The Four Great Vows.

Are these the essential things you wrote down not to forget?

You got a name?

Well...

I have.

How about you?

Well... I have one too.

Why are you here?

I was travelling and I stayed on.

Travelling?

Eco-tourism.

This is such a backward area!

You don't even know what a real shoe is!

Not again!

I've been listening about your shoes for 70 years!

It has made my hair turn gray! - You only wear rubber shoes!

What did you wear before? You were born in this village, too!

Then you moved to Sofia and forgot everything!

Oh, send him somewhere else to talk about shoes!

I didn't hear. What did he say?

He said what he said! You should have listened!

Why don't you go to Missy and speak with her about shoes!

MOTHER

3 MONTHS (After Christo)

How could you let her go? You're out of your mind!

Oh, am I? And you're so with it, eh?

That spring's way too far for me.

It really is far! - I know.

Will you come with me to my town? - No.

Why? - Why should I?

Because I can't go there without you.

Because... Because I'm scared.

Scared of a man? - Yes.

The soup'll be delicious. - I don't give a damn!

You don't like it here, eh? - It's far too...

cramped. - Why cramped?

You need a room for clothes, for stereo or for a fridge?

No... - So what do you want?

Nothing.

What else do you want?

I want my soul to fly away and breathe some fresh air.

Why don't you say so!

The fresh air isn't enough for you, is it?

I can't breathe while he's still breathing!

The father?

Yes! I want him dead or I'll die!

Why do you want him dead? - I don't know... I'm scared!

I feel cold when I think of him.

How come you got pregnant? Was it from the cold?

I've known him since childhood.

He was the guy bringing cakes for us. He got me a job...

A convenient father!

He got me out of the orphanage I grew up in!

He helped me...

They'd formed a special committee to punish me... The stinky bastards!

Seven breakaways in just one month?

Yes, seven. - Five thefts?

Six thefts.

Yes, six, but...

Marijuana!

She hid it in her sanitary towels.

All this in just one month?

Twenty-five days.

I was confused.

It won't happen again.

It all happened because...

I felt depressed because of my birthday.

The so-called birthday depression, you know.

Maybe you don't know this but...

that's not your real birthday.

That's the day you were brought here.

You needed to have a birthday date to celebrate, so I...?

Obviously it couldn't have been a ''birthday depression''.

Well, there's something else we could do...

But...

You should be unanimous about it.

And if you...

come to the conclusion that...

my behavior has improved...

And what will make us think that?

What if I give you each a blowjob.

They actually thought I meant it!

But how could I know?

Listen, she's a big girl already. She has no future here.

She will be alright with me. I'll give her a job!

This is for the roof.

So he took me with him. His name's Alex.

Alex...

Leave me! Get out of here! I told you, save yourself! Go!

Calm down!

Just hold on!

Put your helmet on and hold on tight!

Alex! Go! Leave me!

SUCCESSFUL OPERATION OF NATO PEACE KEEPERS

Dangerous terrorists were caught with the help of our soldiers.

A baby... 3 months old... ...many civilians died...

...among them was a 3-month-old baby...

I love you.

Speak!

You speak! - What?

Do you love me?

More than I should. - How much is ''should''?

I shouldn't.

At all?

Not a bit.

I'm cold. - Come on, spill it out!

Why don't you kill him?

Teacher!

They were telling me, but I didn't listen.

Alex has no ex-girlfriends! They all disappear...

He doesn't like being dumped. - Alex is coming tomorrow.

How do you know that?

Alex who? - The very same.

He carried me on his back for 9 kilometres.

Where are you going? Where do you think you're going?

I... - Calm down.

I'll hold my tongue...

I won't say a word about the weed! - Calm down!

You again! - Drive on!

Running off again? - Prying again?

It's a habit of mine.

But it seems you're growing a habit too.

Running off and hiding.

Do you know what wise people say?

Once a runaway,

always a runaway.

Where's your child? - With the teacher.

For good? - Just temporarily.

''Temporary'' for you seems to be ''permanent''.

Stop!

My name is Mila. - I'm Assen.

Pleased to meet you!

I dedicate my first film to my teacher Prof. Liudmil Staikov

The real villagers' business is not the one shown in the film.

The children and the director in the orphanage

do not behave as shown in the film.

The real border policemen do not do (all the time)

what the border policeman in the film does.
