Life's a dream from which death wakes us

I’ve liked music ever since I was a child,

And when I started giving concerts,

My mother was very happy.

And...

She would go to the neighbors and tell them:

My boy is on TV at 5 on Top 10, make sure you watch him.

She was so happy...

You see, after my mother died,

I couldn't sing any more,

It was impossible to sing.

Each time I touched the guitar,

I would see my mother

How happy she used to be.

So...

And after...

Rodion G.A. enjoyed favorable reviews right from its debut

Let's see what they have for us next.

Instrumentally, the band promises to be the next virtuoso.

Instrumentally, the band promises to be the next virtuoso.

And finally, still in the first place,

The song "Stars and Lights" with Rodion G.A.

A band with a huge number of fans

It could be said, dear listeners,

That 1979 was the debut, as well as, the year of recognition for Rodion G.A.

Here, from our studio, the pieces so dear to the audience

were launched on the waves.

"Hours", "Caravans", "Stars and Lights", "Paradox" and many more

And many more are soon to come to you.

Among the bands recently launched in Cluj-Napoca

Rodion G.A. stands apart.

The first electronic rock band in Romania.

Despite their basic instrumentation

Rodion G.A. managed to reveal many valued creations

Which are highly rated in the country and abroad.

And because we came so far, tell me: what is the style of Rodion G.A.?

It’s difficult to classify it in the well-known patterns of rock

And I wouldn't want to classify it anywhere

Those who listen and write to us do it better

And those who tell us they prefer our style

Which they call the "Rodion style"

Yeah...

Come, Muki dear, leave the man alone.

What happened to him?

It's crippled...

Hello! Ionut Ilesoiu

Nice to meet you.

I mean, this is how the myth popped up...

Last year

I'm not a normal person, no offense

Don't worry

It's such a mess, but I'll clean up in no time.

But relax, it's not a problem.

Ay...

Watch this!

I don't want you to climb up there now,

But there's something wonderful there, you'll see.

In the attic?

No, from here, like this, you grab this here

And just wait till you see what I've done here,

It's a mess, I have some great nooks here.

I love it when I have enough space to store things.

This is a window I made ...

How long have you been living here?

5 years!

For 5 years...

Yes, I put in a lot of work ...

You used to live in Cluj...

A lot of concrete...

Sorry?

You used to live in Cluj

Yes ... I still own an apartment in Grigorescu

Why did you move?

I had no room for my instruments

I pay bills to Zapp (mobile network), Digi TV (cable television)

100-200, Zapp is 500

And there's the mobile which is 600 thousand, you see?

I pay 800 thousand for electricity

You do the math, and there's nothing left for food

Can you believe it?

Then, please eat.

I'm telling you this because, if you need someone to polish shoes

Or to tune guitars, I would be glad to do it

To tune guitars?

I mean it, help me go on a tour or make some gigs or anything ...

This is "The March of the Envious"

Why "the Envious"?

Cause they don't like that I write better music. Get it? That they ... get it?

And now they gather... The gathering signal in Mihai Viteazu Square, get it?

The mob is gathering...

And now they begin their attack. Now the march.

They start their attack!

That Rodion isn't that good...

There are some rhythms that you really love. Don't you?

Yeah, yeah, yeah

... which you repeat a lot

Listen to the style. This is a different piece. Check it out!

I know it's a different song!

Here's how the pigs squeal

Have you heard it?

Here it's a nice sound.

Here's a conversation.

Bummer! Who would listen to it?

They listen, have a snack, and there goes the music.

But I work on each sound

Have you noticed? You wanna tell me your ideas, but I won't let you.

I want you to listen to each sound.

I've ... a lot. See?

Pay attention!

How it purrs...

Did you get it?

Here is a major key, now comes a minor

Where you said it was a minor key ... but before it was a major

1,2,3 Start

Careful not to scrape ... there, right ... it's all in the hand,

Put your weight on your hand, grab hold of that pole, careful...

Here?

Not on the bricks, just on the poles, above you, the wood poles and whatever is fixed

Those poles...

It’ll blow your mind, what I have up here. It's crazy...

Only new stuff here, man; new speakers. There are some radiators...

Look at that big 24 mixer... Go see it!

Yes... I've seen it!

A big mixer!

Look there. Here I'm making a bed, I'm closing the area here and here I’m making the door.

Here with a side wall. It's just that I didn't have the time. And I have to close up there.

Stop rubbing your pants man, it's getting on my nerves. I'll slap you.

I'm not used to this.

Listen, when you touch it you get dust on it, leave it there.

And when you're rubbing it, do you know what you're doing? You're rubbing it in.

Then you dust yourself again, and you rub it all in again. Leave it!

Got the idea? Good.

Look here, my mother's handwriting,

Have a look at how she used to write at the university, just so you know.

Please have a look, it's how my mother used to write

Oh my god,

My god ...

... for the speaker diaphragms, I make the attached suspensions

Wow…

I've got plenty of these, I'm the king of speakers!

Do you have a car?

Me?

Yes

Yes, I have one of these, yes, I do

Not like this one! Look at the crafting

But that's what all those things look like!!!

Yeah right. Why do you think I brought it all the way from Germany?

I brought this from East Germany. (GDR) Look at it ...

Luxury. Two pieces!

Two!

I never buy only one piece.

Never only one.

Here, there, then half a metre, ready

That's all?

Yes, come, another half a metre, that's right, and again, great

Get out of here, out of my place. That's what they tell you in the country,

They kick you out.

Help me, help me become a billionaire

Well, I'll ... to launch already

I have a driver's license; I drive, take me as a driver!

I have only 7 lei left, you know?

My manager left ...

It's hygienic

Sawdust is very good for hygiene,

It was sifted

Some may leak through the holes, but that's OK.

You can use this only in a country house, of course.

Have a look at this.

Just think how much work I put in to make these boxes, Sorin.

And not just these, at the back of the drawer there's another compartment.

There's something else here

Electronics, this is mainly for electronic parts.

Functional transistors, screws...

Look, here I have only bulbs

Little boxes: 98 pieces

Up here are boxes with all sorts of stuff. All numbered.

You order them, like 1,2

3, 4, 5...13 pieces, then we go on. Look, here are all numbered.

All these can be lifted.

Standard bottles, all the bottles are the same.

Look, here is the wine. Each bottle has wine in it.

You have a guest. We have a nice seat.

Would you like some wine?

Here you go! Wine...

Life is hard!

We're buying cement.

Cement and ballast is the food you'll find in my home.

I rather starve than lack money for cement to finish my fence.

I wanna show my friends in the village, who called me a bum, that I outclass them.

Let's go ...

Daddy’s gonna take care of you. We'll put you on wheels.

We'll put Muki on wheels. Yeah

Sit down there. Sit.

You don't feel anything now, do you?

I feel such pity for this dog ...

That's Muki's boy!

Daddy's little boy.

What do you want? What? What do you want?

I won't let you loose now because there are chickens outside and you’ll eat them.

Yeah, you eat chickens. You're a sneaky dog.

I'm falling behind the others

Their tomatoes are bigger, but I’m gonna catch up because I have a home water supply plant.

I'm gonna water them daily and I'm gonna catch up; I always do...

Every year I outclassed the local farmers

I'm a city man

I'm sneakier

Tzarmo

Look!

Look! A kilo of rabbit.

Daddy's bunny.

In this village, each neighbour argued with another

And they wouldn't speak to each other for months or years.

If they quarreled with me yesterday, today we're fine,

And now he's cross with that one.

They don't talk any more. They have sworn never to speak to each other,

And it's like this all the time.

It's unbelievable this envy

I'm gonna start cracking some rocks, one rock, two, three.

So you know how I’m gonna do it, how I'm gonna build my fence.

You see, a smart man, with some imagination,

Needs no help from any neighbour or carpenter, doesn't need workers for the cement,

He buys a concrete mixer and makes his own house,

He raises a high wall so he won't see those around him

And builds himself a small Cluj, a small empire,

Builds here a small country and lives like a king.

Good day!

Hello, how are you?

He's filming and you're working...

So I won't die unknown

Hahaha..

So the world would remember me

It isn't cracking well.

A piece went well

Look here ...

Mr. Rodion GA, composer from Cluj, came to Aschileul Mare to crack rocks.

He deserves it!

How are you? Rodion, the Stone Cracker...

I'm the Stone Cracker man.

Where are you going?

Home, where else?

See? She's my best friend, Mrs Livia.

How are you? Stop for a moment.

I'm leaving ...

Well, OK ...

Just for a moment

Is it OK with you?

May I?

Thanks

I won't be long

What do you want? Wine, beer, tuica?

Whatever you'll give me. It doesn't matter....

As long as the money keep rollin ...

Whatever you have

Bwwaaa ...

Isn't it good?

Very bad!

Why?

Because I'm not drinking

Why not? Have you confessed recently?

I had milk so I can't drink ...

See if you like it. If not, I'll take it back and give it to Muki.

How is it?

Good!

2-year old wine!

Oh God!

Weeeell?!

It's good!

So what do you think?

Good!

Didn’t I tell you?

It's very good, I mean it!

You can find everything here!

That's why you moved out here, that's why.

To teach you how to make wine, so you know good wine too, because you don't.

Right...

Hey, what's going on there, behind me?

The kitten

Why, have you touched it?

It's hungry ...

You touched it, I knew it

It's hungry

Tzarmo!!!

Feed it!

Do ya wanna? Do ya wanna Tzarmo? Yes?

Tzarmo cat, Tzarmo cat, cheese is always what you get!

Do you have cheese?

How come you have cheese?

Do you hear it singing like a swan...

Where did you get cheese?

Tzarmo, Tzarmo, Hushi, Hushi.

At the hours turning point

I’ve waited for your glance

I would shape you in glaze and I would see you in the skies

Ships crossed my heart

To unknown realms

My soul was falling leaves and blooming orchards

How can I cast you now

With blurry eyes

When my song has faded

An incomplete song

You are a flavour

Of ancient dreams

I can barely see you

You are long gone

Let's go!

One, two ...

You know what I like about this place, this part of my life?

I do what I want,

I obey no one,

I gather them, I dry them and I drink the tea whenever I want.

I obey no one. That’s the most important thing for me.

I don't keep poultry because I can't kill them.

I would never kill one,

Never

I can't do it. I can't feed an animal, care for it and then slaughter it.

To watch it get fat so I can eat it.

That beats everything!

You raise an animal, you feed it and wait for it to get fat so you can kill it, to eat it.

Dreadful...

The heart some people have!

It's crazy!

With that little paw. Oooo!

Ooo, you're so dear to me!

Splash!!

Look here!

This one we will take it entirely

God helped you to be rescued

How long must you have waited ...

We should leave 'cos the bottle is getting warm.

We are now entering the next phase, called "the loner"

Oohhh, that's my sports t-shirt.

Good ...

Today is the Pentecost

A very important day, but we don't know its meaning. 'Cause we're town dwellers.

Here, in the country, it's an important holiday. No one works. No one does anything.

The town dwellers celebrate by working.

Ooooh...

That ... Ion Iliescu ... Ceausescu

...

Did they cut his throat?

Antonescu shot Ceausescu!

Pfuuuaii!

They cut him, they cut him too.

They cemented him. That's it!

But why did they cut his throat?

That's it! They made some cement and put it on him.

Cement!

Cement!

Put them both in it.

He's over. He's over then.

...

That girl in red, I've always fancied her.

I wasn't lucky enough to ...

One, two

This one is ripe now, a little late.

We need to get rid of this weed.

I feel pity even for the weeds. But what can I do?!

What can I do? the poor things…

They grew here.

See how much work I have and no time to deal with it,

Look at these big weeds

Look at the onions. Too bad, look at the stalk and here is the onion.

A pity ... look. It isn't thick enough.

So we must leave it some more.

See how the blood is washed. Look! See the color of blood! Look!

That filth that washes from the neck, the brown color is blood from the fleas' excrement

Can you understand?!

Hold on Muki.

All the bugs will die in the water.

Hold it, hold it.

Fleas are such a pain, they make our lives harder,

It's better than bathing in a bathroom. I could sleep.

Mmmmm, It's so good!

There, I’ll put the plug in.

That's better!

Oh, this lovely sun.

We should go somewhere in Spain...

Ready!

That's all!

Ready!

And we have everything!

Let's go, come on.

At least his leg will be safe.

Come on, come on. Come Muki!

Is it working? It's working. Well done. Come now.

Oh dear, Muki. Oh dear.

This came out and the nail fell out.

What shall I do with you?

The cart is no good.

I'll take care of it!

We'll take care of it somehow.

You know, my mother still lives here with me

In our lives, we lived for each other, she was alive for me and I for her.

Do you understand?

I'm still not sure if it was real or not, do you understand?

So here's the story.

We are both struck down by a plague and we know we're going to die.

I went to the church, at the altar, I kneeled and I was crying so hard

Sorin, I was crying my heart out.

On my knees crying I was praying to God to save us, not to let us die.

The next moment, I woke up in my bed, do you understand?

It was a dream.

And I keep asking myself if

It wasn't somehow real, the whole thing

And then God would have helped us by switching it all into a dream

Get it?

To...

To transfer you into a different time or ... do you get my point?

This is how it happened.

And precisely because it wasn't real I consider it a miracle,

This is why I think it was a miracle.

Just by thinking that it hasn't happened. That makes it a miracle.

It could happen.

It's dreadful.

Such a catastrophe.

Do you like it?

Buy a spray for metal

And pulverize a screen on it.

Like a glaze!

Aaa, you must spray it from a distance and it’ll be perfect.

See, your original wire wasn't burnt,

It didn't burn because you didn't turn on the volume,

But rather because it was already fried when you turned it on.

And it burnt?

Well, it didn't, all the loops fell, one by one

Because this can't hold them, here, feel it.

Do you craft these yourself?

No, I have a winder.

Loop after loop ...

Well, have a look, come on, have a look.

Bye.

Good bye. Thanks.

When you change the car oil, make sure you bring me the burnt oil.

Aw, my pants are falling off.

Ooo dear Muki, yeah dear Muki!

Good day!

I think you need the jars

Noooo...

I throw away the jars

Everything I’m taking from here is strictly for food.

Wow that's good.

Look at it, a delicacy.

Yeah

Here we had peppers...

Smells like manure. It's OK.

I’ve never had something like this.

Let's see how it is.

I hear it has a lot of vitamins.

There were peppers in here.

See?

Sorin, you’ve never had such a delicacy

Here I have water from the church.

4-year old holy water.

And it isn’t rotten ...

4 years and does it smell?

No.

So, what's the purpose?

The purpose is to become open-hearted.

What do you mean open-hearted?

You meant to ask, what's causing it ...

What's causing it ...

That's a different story.

We still haven't found the cause ...

I don't have anything else here ... what?

That, my wife used it for sewing, you know, handmade, with colours

Can I take them?

But what do you wanna do with them?

I'll put in the picture of Mick Jagger from Rolling Stones.

It’ll make the nicest picture ...

I'll polish it right away, I'll put the picture in, varnish it.

Hey, I'll put a picture of Rodion Rosca in it.

Not Mick Jagger.

I'll make a self...

Just like Ceausescu, the cult of personality.

I'm leaving now, before you change your mind.

Go on.

Bye

All this is fuel that I throw in with other fuel substances

And these are more chippings. Those can go in the garden or the yard.

It's very important to recycle after you have swept a place

You take a magnet, and get out all the iron.

See?! iron, nails

By throwing them away, in fact, you're polluting.

So you're polluting your garden. What does a garden full of pets look like?

Wires, an old shoe. Get it?

It’s a total mess.

Good‚ the little fish...

1,2,3‚ 7,8,10,20‚

They're gone, the fish are gone.

Ah, wait, come back fish, I didn't mean to free you.

Oh fish, where are you?

My dear ones!

Well, they're gone

Wait a sec, let me take some water for the new fish,

For the new generation.

We can't find any fish here.

Silvery fish.

Because they don’t eat much.

They don't grow so big. Did you know?

They have a small mouth...

You can't catch fish here now.

I've muddled the water...

Not a chance.

Come Muki dear, come.

Come dear…

Come dear...

Come. It's better if we fix speakers.

Come Muki dear, come.

Écoutez-moi!

Well this... this is an unbelievable victory!

I had no idea that you... I never thought I would be so lucky

To see such a thing.

It's enormous.

Enormous.

I think this could be the baby.

Silence please!

Checked! No decay.

There are some. Not bad.

And pears, pears

Grandpa, I came for ... may I take some apples?

You can gather them from there ...

Yes?

May I also take those pears on the ground?

You may ...

Well ...

I'll make preserves. OK?

Right...

Let's ...

Would you like a hand, Nicu?!

Go!

Maybe after so much effort ...

It's already much better.

Yeah, yeah, yeah‚

Not now!

Good, Nicu

You don't have speed ...

Look, go on!

Give it another go, I'm exhausted.

Doesn't it work if we push it?

Huh?

Is the compression hard?

If I pushed the tractor ...

It doesn't work. It didn't start on the slope.

Woow!

Let's go, let's go Muki.

Let's go...

Oooh, I've found a snail

I've found a beautiful snail...

Oh Lord, come, look!

Alin, come, look...

Look here

Watch its shape

A little flattened; this was some sort of animal.

Look, this would have been the shell.

Which way now?

Let's go and we'll see. If not, we'll go to that nut tree from last time.

I'll go this way

Where are going? I'm already up here!

Go that way then.

Look, it’s a great path. It's clear, I don't touch anything.

And what do we have here?

Hey, what are you doing there?!

Come quick!

They’re coming this way and they’re following us.

Do you think they recognized us?

Did they recognize us?

No, no, I bet they didn't.

We must cross the valley, that's the problem ...

If we cross the bridge we must cross the valley ...

Shut up!

So, what do we do?

I used to dream I was with my band, giving a concert

And we were preparing ...

Yeah, everyone dreams this

And...

We enter a hall full of people,

All waiting,

We start plugging in our instruments

I can't find a cable, then a guitar

So...

We’re already half an hour late.

So, are you all set, ready?

I turn on the amp, it doesn't work, there's no power.

Hey, why don't we have power?

We have it here, but we don't have it there, look, the guitar isn't working

I move there to fix it...

I’m looking at the hall and I see some people getting up and starting to leave.

People started to leave ...

Home ...

The audience

What a dreadful feeling.

The way you feel, what you feel then, in that moment, it's a disaster.

Shut up!

The old man is coming. We have guests!

Heeey!

Heeey, who's there?

Come in!

Come Muki

What are you doing?

Where are you heading?

What are you doing?

Don't touch that, it will fall.

Really?

Leave that. How are you?

Well ... I came to see you.

I'm washing some bottles, because my tomato sauce is burning

And I'll never finish it.

What's new?

Nothing much.

Why did you really come, to drink some wine?

To have a glass of your wine ...

That's why you came?

Really?

I thought you would bring some bacon.

Not till I kill the pig ...

Come on, you're only thinking of yourself ...

I will when I kill the pig!!!

But you never do, and when you do, you forget.

I won't forget ...

If you came only for the wine, then that's what you'll get.

Just for that ...

Great ...

What do you want, leave me alone ...

That wretched woman let you have the house for nothing ...

Huh?

You had the house for nothing ...

Yes

I‘m sorry I didn't buy it.

Why didn't you?

You know why? I had 50000, my share

Because you gave the entire 150.

160!

160. Had I given her 110 more, the house would have been mine.

Did you have tomatoes?

And what else? Onions?

I had about 200, 250 tomato plants.

A lot.

Did you have peppers?

Red peppers.

Good.

80 plants.

Onions?

I haven’t gathered them.

Carrots?

I didn't plant carrots.

The tomato sauce sneezed.

It's got a cold.

The tomato sauce...

You must have a delicate hand. Just like in coiling.

Sleep tight! Have a good sleep, dears.

There's nothing worse in life than a broken speaker.

When your speaker breaks it's the end of the world ...

When your speaker breaks...

That's a real disaster. A tragedy

And...

And you see smoke coming out of it,

You can't hear the music

And my mother just bought it for me

What to do?!

The guitar sounds great on it and look, it doesn't work anymore.

But who can fix speakers?

Do you know anyone who can fix speakers?

Do you? Don't you? I don't.

Maybe you know someone? Do you?

Yeah, sure. I know an old man who ...

Who? But can he fix it?

Really? Yeah man, sure. It's ready in two days.

So I asked him nicely to fix it and he did.

The next day, same story, another speaker broke

Shoni Baci, please fix this one as well, but you see, I don't have money;

OK, I'll do it for 200.

Great, he fixed the other one and after that, again ... Get it?

And I would sit there with him to see how he fixes them,

Get it? So I could see how he did it...

God damn speaker...

He had all sorts of patterns, coils, wires...

Glues...

What's that?

That's nitro lacquer...

And what's that?

That's a coil ...

Why isn't it thicker to last longer?

Because then it won't last longer.

Why?

Well yes, if it was thicker, yes,

But if you have the same number of wires,

But fewer wires if you have a thick layer.

Eh, yeee, yes, ye, ye,ye.

I thought, yes, that's right, yes

But...

May I make a couple of wires, cause I like how it works.

Ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, these are cool things

Wow, how interesting.

And I stole the trade from the old man

And I started fixing speakers on my own.

And it worked; it was all right, a great satisfaction.

Rodi dear, let me tell you what happened to me.

Arghh, my speaker burnt.

Arghh, I must fix it. I must take it to someone to have it fixed.

Where do you wanna take it? Don't you know I fix speakers?!

Do you fix speakers?!

Please Rodi, please fix my speaker. I'll give anything, but please fix my speaker.

What? Easy job! No problem.

And I disassembled the speaker. I tore the membrane to pieces.

I had no idea how to disassemble in the beginning.

In the end I did everything.

Arghh!!

Rodi you should hear the speaker. It works great!

If you know someone who needs to fix his speaker, I'm the best in Cluj.

No worries, don't be afraid!

As long as Rodion is around you'll have no problem.

Ah, what a tragedy...

This is a problem!

The coil is too short

I must extend it.

Ah, ah, what to do?

This will take another two hours.

Please don't you be very long, don't be long ... don't be long...

Opera...

There you are.

Ahh, lucky for us!

It’s working

Good.

On the dot.

Costele...

You’ve never had a speaker that sounds like this one in your life.

Well, I hope you're right.

Oh, but I am ...

But, be careful!

The problem is that it's not paid for.

You asked for the money. What do you mean, "not paid". I'll give you as much you as you asked.

From now one you’ll have a bass and low notes.

You must keep it in this position.

Hold on... Let me blast them, and after...

If it comes off you can put some glue on it

Let me dry it with the hair dryer and I'll hand it over like that.

What a character! Nutty. People like this, artists,

How does he live here... this place looks like a wreck

Where does he sleep? Is this only the workshop?

You put this like that and you don't move it.

This one is new,

But I have no use for it, because it's too rigid.

I want to sell it to someone who needs it.

It clearly says here 360W...

Come Muki, come. Daddy will give you some bones.

Let's belly dance

Let's truly be a nation of odalisques

Let's be Turks, let's be Greeks, let's sing only manele

What an Oriental charm, what craziness, you can hear only manele all round Romania

Let's belly dance

Let's truly be a nation of odalisques

Hop, hip hop, hai di di da

Just belly dance. Don't stop

These guys are slick. These guys sing well.

Wow, how well they sing.

Extraordinary!

What to do?

God damn! Such idiots...

What can I do about it?

How to get rid of them?

There's no way...

Ah, this is heavy, so heavy.

God damn work, very heavy.

White grapes‚ muscatel.

Mus...ca..tel.

So, what did the chick say, tell me?

She says she’s having some problems now and must deal with them first...

What sort of problems?

It's clear. She doesn't wanna!

No, she’s coming

Yeah right, she's coming...

I'm telling you ...

You don't know women.

That's the issue, you live too far away.

But I know why you moved so far away. So people won't come to visit.

Right. I don't need guests.

Neither do I!

Especially when I have meat.

Ooooh yeah ...

It's dangerous to have meat.

Yeah man, no fooling!

You said you quit smoking,

See, I've caught you now.

I don't even smoke... I don't smoke.

I had one yesterday and one today,

That's all,

Nothing more.

There's some rust in there...

This is the mash you're drinking

Finish mashing the grapes and we'll go.

But there must be some meat, anything, with bones,

As long as there's some meat.

The offal is the best

So we have offal, not bones

Do you have some potatoes to go with it?

The dog can have the bones.

Do you have some potatoes to go with it, potatoes?

Do you? Good.

Mashed potatoes...

Well, that sounds good, ah, I'm so hungry.

That's it. I'm done with the grapes.

Oh, my belly, my belly...

Aaaaa

This is my best friend!

Ready

We're going to have sheep stew.

Woooow, our sins?

Where's that man? Where did he go? Where?

Weren't we invited to dinner?

By whom?

Oh my, we must walk backwards...

I drive you nuts? How do I drive you nuts?

Hey!! Pass the phone to me ...

Look, I have this neighbour, a very nice guy.

Guitar player, he sings to us.

A vocalist, on the television.

Hear this, if we get married,

He'll sing for us ...

With the shinbone

At the ceremony.

Hello!

Good evening, how are you?

Hello, how are you?

He doesn't want Ildi any more, he got tired of her.

Hahaha, that's right

So, if you have a friend, maybe you could introduce her to me,

Because I'm kind of single now.

And I'm out of my element.

Let me give you...

I'm a guitar player and... guitar player and singer

I had the greatest electronic band in the country.

Do you have Internet at home?

That's a pity...

If I want to bring Ildi here, Ildi will cry if she loses me.

Well, maybe ...

You understand me.

She is also right, you know...

Ildi... maybe!

But those friends of hers...

Are only short-term, from one day to the other...

They are nothing compared to me, get it.

They are scum, dregs, dregs...

Yes...

Dregs.

Blown by the wind

She'll eventually realize that she was wrong.

Come and have some Sorin, it's really good.

Have you ever had such a meal?

These are lungs, also lungs?

Have you ever had such a meal?

Tell me, my friend...

I’ve never eaten this because I didn't like it, but this is good...

This is good...

It will all melt by tomorrow at noon.

Good bye and thank you Simi!

Good night!

We have a catalyser,

We have a catalyser,

A summer shoe.

When it is -30°C outside, we heat up with a winter shoe,

It is quite consistent.

There are speakers to be carried. There are some tapes here!

So...

Look at this...

Tapes...

Three pieces, always!

In vino veritas!

So...

Now we sort them.

Flowers blooming in the spring

Lean down your branches

For milady to pick them

Cause she's is waiting for her suitors

Wearing her green kerchief

God bless her heart

Happy New Year!

Happy holidays!

So, how much must I give you, one LEU, two LEI? How much is it?

Do you have a cigarette?

A cigarette for us!

I've just got it, I swear!

Give me a smoke!

No! There's no way I'll give you this one!

If I don't have a smoke ... now!

No way I'll give it to you! No way. I only have this stub.

Sorin do you have some change? One LEU, two, what do you charge?

You wanna give me 1 LEU, when I usually get 5?!

Noooo!

Go to hell!

1 LEU? That's not what I'm worth?!

Very hard...

I didn’t believe it would be so hard, this Christmas.

This is too much, what's going on?

I've got only this far and I've been cleaning for ages.

It's a disaster!

Tzarmo, where's Tzarmo?

Today it's Christmas,

Yeah...

We’re celebrating!

She might have changed her phone number.

100%

Right...100%, how do you know?

Did she say anything? Nothing's for sure.

She said she wanted to change it.

She said so to scare you.

Don't put it there, because we're recording now.

Let me have some.

Don't put it down....

Done!

I'll come there! You'll see! I'll come and I'll show you.

See? That's...

I'll come to Cluj and you'll see...

I'll show you...

She's got some nerve, man!

I'll show her!

She only came here to take her stuff from you.

And the clobber

I'll show her.

And you gave her tomatoes too.

I'll show her tomatoes in the head!

These, these...

Hold on, no! Tzarmo, Tzarmo oo, oo,

This is a four-leaf clover!

A four-leaf clover...

Shhh, ssssh, outside!

That's the bell that ruins everything!

There's the devil!

My mother was very upset.

She would go to the parent's meeting and

When she returned she would say

I've seen only happy mothers!

But I wasn't one of them, she would say.

He's not a bad boy, but he's not paying attention in class

He's dreaming!

Dreaming all the time, he's not paying attention. We ask him: what have we just said?

He stands there, but can’t answer...

He's in his own world...

That is true.

Very true.

The teachers would always say he didn't pay attention in class.

We don't know what he does. He's a quiet boy.

But he's dreaming!

We don't know where his mind flies...
