Cinegram pictures presents

a movie by Costas Kapakas

When someone wants something badly enough, it happens...

...you can even reach the Moon...

Uranya

Hey, tell me, will we be long?

I can't hear you! Speak up!

I said: Is this going to be a long flight?

Because I really need to pee.

How the hell does this door open?

Did we have to deliver them today?

We had them for almost a year in the station.

Shut up! It is an order from the ministry!

Those were to be delivered from the first day, but you are dopey!

Today is the last day!

There will be no way to find them tomorrow.

Come on! March!

March!

Good morning, teacher!

Where are the children?

We have to hand out these! It's an order from the ministry.

Leave them on the desks. They'll find them in September.

The children, Mr. Ranger. I let them go,

and I told them goodbye! Forever!

What do you mean "forever"?

I got an undesirable transfer, Mr. Ranger!

Undesirable...

I'm sorry!

Allow me to ask you, a transfer to where?

-Castelorizo -OK, Castelorizo.

Where exactly is that?

What is this? Your father gave it to you?

-Yes. Why? -What does it say?

It says that Greece has been put on a cast!

What? It's our dicks that are on a cast!

There's not a single woman in this!

"In this episode,

Anna Howard comes to the city, and her lie is revealed."

"When he discovers that him and Anna are twins,

he'll become convinced that Hanna had separated them at birth."

"When Anna Howard...

-...comes with the warm apple pie..."

To tell the truth it is your husband that has to buy a TV...

...because he has the coffee shop. -Nah... I told him many times!

"Radio is enough" he told me, what does your husband say?

What else? "It's all government propaganda."

Now that he bought the electric winding, I don't expect anything.

In any case, me, when I open the coiffure,

I'll buy it. I promise you. - Good luck.

- Thank you Pagona. - My name is Nitsa.

Do you know why mine doesn't buy one?

Because his brother-in law told him that my sister,

ever since they bought a TV,

always serves burned food.

Count! Count!

What's this?

Like that, we'll not fuck this summer either.

You should be patient. You've waited all this years.

Don't you see? I'm full of pimples.

My brother was like me, until he had sex with Uranya,

and they were gone. - Uranya popped them for him?

No, you idiot, she screwed him.

Me, when I pop them, they reappear.

But I'm telling you that I'll go even if I have to go alone!

That's not possible. You have signed!

Yeah..okay...

"The undersigned below: Achilles,

Thomas,

Hercules,

Fanourios,

and Fotis,

we swear that we will collect the necessary money...

...in order to lose our virginity at Uranya's,

before we all go blind from masturbation.

We also swear that none of us will go at Uranya's alone...

Otherwise, he will burn in hell."

"May of 1968."

"Seal, signatures."

Zoe...

This is what I like most in this world!

What?

Laying my head on your belly,

and watching the sky with you.

And you, narrating the best stories in the world.

But if your father see you here some day...

Given how vicious he is...he will slaughter me!

I've heard that he wasn't always like that,

but he became after the war.

After the civil war.

What does it mean, "civil war"?

The Greeks were fighting the Greeks.

Why?

Which film are you going to tell me about tonight?

Tonight I'm going to read something to you.

-What is this? -This is the Cinema schedule.

This film will is in the coming soon section, but it is an X rated film.

They won't let us see it.

-And what kind of film is it? -It is called: "Flesh".

"La Traite des Blanches."

Listen:

"Clodin is a young woman who moves from the village,

to the capital.

She finds her first love on the face of Jean Marc,

who is a journalist and who introduce her to his friends.

Clodin discovers that Jean Marc is a human trafficker,

but it's too late to escape,

then, she decides to take revenge on him...

To be continued on screen.

-A falling star. -Where?

-I saw it over there. -Did you make a wish?

I did: To fly.

You must keep it a secret if you want it to come true.

So, I will not fly?

Did you make one?

Yes, I did. But I won't tell you.

So that it comes true?

Yes.

But in any case, it is not as difficult to come true as yours.

With the fear of God, of love and of belief approach.

Today, as a communicant of your secret dinner take me,

Son of God.

-Name? -Hercules.

Hercules is communing the Lord's Jesus Christ body and blood...

-Name? -Achilles.

Achilles is communing the Lord's Jesus Christ body and blood...

Come! Come here, please.

Approach.

Your attention!

Admire! It is the best of the best!

Admire it! Isn't it beautiful?

For our city and the Seventh art.

Congratulations.

-You should open with John Wayne. -Why do you need it now?

Don't you see what is happening with the TV?

Cinema is dead.

What are you talking about? Could the 7th art ever die?

TV and crap. In addition, it is bad for the eyes.

This is a different thing. Colorized Cinemascope.

But it is a bit used, right?

What are you saying? It is brand new.

Try to Smell it, please. Take a good sniff!

Right here! Smell!

She is a virgin, gentlemen. A virgin!

Here! It will play only for you for the first time.

There's the priest.

Our God is always blessed, from now to the infiniteness.

Amen...

God is saint, God give us mercy.

God is saint, God give us mercy.

God is saint, God give us mercy.

Be merciful to the human kind...

We pray to you and we beg you to protect this machine...

-To this machine? -Cinemecanica.

-Cine what? -Cinemecanica.

Cinemecanica...

All the best!

-Westerns is what you should play! -Yes.

-Where does the priest go? -To the cemetery!

For a sanctus. He'll be back.

The drinks! Come lay vicar to drink for the best!

Come on! All the best.

-Cheers! -For profitable business.

I can't, I am going to water the fields.

It is good for the voice as well.

Old Yiannis!

I told you, I have to water the fields.

Yiannis with the water bags...

-Hello! -Only Hello? What is it there?

-Give me your supervisor!

-Certainly, Mr. Commander.

Right now. He is...here...

-Give me a minute. -Hurry!

The Commander!

Yes, hello?

Chief of Rangers Batsakoutsas. My respects, Mr. Commander!

What the hell is going on there?

Nothing, Mr. Commander! Just a prayer for the cinema!

A prayer?

Yes, for the brand new projector that they brought.

-Is it compatible with the Newsreel? -The Newsreel?

It is.

It is compatible, Mr. Commander!

All the village watches the national news of the revolution!

-Very nice, Mr. Commander. -Do you have a TV?

We don't have a TV here in the village, unfortunately!

You don't. Do you have any communists there?

Communists?

Communists?

No...For sure, no!

Nothing like that, Mr. Commander...

Communism is dead, Mr. Commander!

Yes? Hello? Hello? Mr. Commander?

Amen.

Maria, go and find your brother?

She's not going anywhere!

Leave him without dinner!

-Where has he gone again? -Where has he gone?

Surely, he is with that mute kid again!

Everything alright, Father?

The child doesn't hear, that's why he doesn't speak!

I have forbidden him to see that boy!

What could he do? They are classmates!

Like you were with his father!

Yes, but his father betrayed me. I was exiled because of him!

Put some meat to the little one!

-It wasn't Sotiris who betrayed you! -And how do you know?

Were you in the civil war?

Grab the wine!

He has sworn on his children. His wife told me.

Yes, all right!

He has sworn!

I have told you a thousand times not to speak with them.

Rightists, fascists, we have a dictatorship because of them!

Shhh! They will hear us!

Pour me some wine and stop it!

Children! Come here and give me a hand!

Stop it! Don't tickle me!

Thank you, children!

I owe you one!

She'll stay here for the entire season, I know it...

That's how your father waters the field, eh?

Beautiful children, welcome!

Go on, man!

What are these?

The same again?

Those aren't enough, not even for a peek.

I've brought something else too.

You are lucky...

...because I like you!

Anyway!

You can see the coming soon section!

It's enough! Go now!

Where have you been? Sit down and eat.

Hi, grandpa!

My big man!

He will wait for us to finish and then he could eat!

What does he think this is, a restaurant?

A traitor is always a traitor.

It's in their blood; you'll see.

And their son is the same! Just remember it!

-Won't the child eat? -No, he won't!

Do you know how many times I didn't eat at the war?

Oh my god, what have I done to deserve this?

Every Sunday!

And forget all about being a pilot!

For the pilot school you need a Certificate of Social Ideology!

You know what that means?

If I don't become a pilot, I'll be an astronaut.

Yeah! Ok! Maybe you'll become a Cosmonaut also!

Grandpa, what exactly is the Certificate of Social Ideology?

It is a paper that says that you are a good boy!

But you'll be a good painter, so...

My mother says if I become a painter...

...I'll die penniless!

Great!

Grandpa? Can I ask you something?

But promise me that nobody will ever know about it!

Alright! If I know, why not?

Zoe, why does she live with her grandmother?

Doesn't she have any parents?

It is a...

It is a sad story!

One day you'll get to hear it.

She is beautiful, right?

Go there and buy some tickets.

No, you should go.

You are taller than me!

Today! George Cobrey.

Flesh.

Strictly forbidden for non adults.

Sotiris?

One more!

Why don't you sit with us?

You don't have a lot of work!

Not too many years ago Sunday night was...

Did you see the cinema? Everybody is going there!

And you, Father? Why did you bless the new projector?

Looks like we should have done it for your coffee shop as well.

-Unction doesn't help!

I know what is needed!

A television!

Just put a TV here and you'll see what happens!

News, football, films, everything for free!

My wife tells me the same thing.

You can even see the holly service directly from the Cathedral!

A service with eight priests!

And how will we survive the rest of the priests?

Thieves?

-What happened guys? -Who fell?

-A doctor! Call a doctor! -The doctor!

He's hurt badly. He almost killed himself!

Please! Let me see him! Whose is this kid?

It is Achilles! Eugene's and Alekos' child!

Of course!

The kid is casted by the evil eye!

Ms. midwife?

Why don't you go help a goat give birth?

Oh but of course I see! The high science just arrived!

I respect myself, otherwise, I would have answered.

I didn't get you.

If you want to know, it was me who delivered this child to the world!

And you've regretted it and came here to send it to the next one?

The child has a concussion!

His leg is broken!

Ms. midwife, don't you have something else to do?

-Oh, Juliette! -Oh, Juliette!

-Why aren't you in Paris? -Why aren't you in Paris?

I'm waiting for your return,

see you soon my angel, I send you all the kisses of...

Please tell me, Mr. Doctor?

The injection you gave him was French?

Oh, Juliette! Juliette.

Why aren't you in Paris?

I'm waiting for your return,

I love you!

See you soon my angel, I send you all the love kisses...

Here you are!

You are ready! In one or two months you'll be perfect!

It looks like an astronaut's leg, no?

Right?

You know the astronauts, right?

Those who will go to the moon?

It'll be on television, too.

Do you have a television?

You don't, eh?

Achilles?

I'll give you something.

Take a look!

"The man on the moon".

Take it, it's yours.

Take care.

Come back in two months, to take the plaster off.

Thank you very much, doctor!

Salut.

"Apollo 11!"

That's the name of the rocket that will travel to the Moon.

It will launch from the Cape Kennedy.

The launch is due at 10:22 AM, and there will be a countdown.

When it gets out of the atmosphere, it will turn 3 times around Earth!

And it will enter the moon's atmosphere.

There, it will turn 2 times,

and it will land in the valley.

The valley on wich the spaceship will land.

Is called: "Sea of Tranquillity".

And if everything goes right, for the first time,

a human being will set foot on the moon.

And all this will be watched by all humanity...

Except us!

Why?

Because we don't have a TV in the village,

and nobody is interested in buying one.

So, let's bring one. How much does it cost?

A lot!

6,000 drachmas. Where are we going to find that kind of money?

You will.

When someone wants something badly enough, it happens...

You might be right.

If you want something very much,

you can even go to the moon. Right?

Over there! It fell!

Proclamations will be notified, as well for the Greek red cross...

Hello, little Fotis!

I would like...

I would like...

What did I want? I forgot!

Some little squids!

So! What's going on guys?

Who gave the SOS signal?

-It was me. -I was first!

I can't stand it anymore! I want my part!

She came to the shop and told me: "Hello, little Fotis!"

She bought some little squids, and after...

Me, comrades,

I have something very important to tell you, and to propose!

-This doesn't sound good to me. -Shut up, you! Go on!

I want your attention just for a while.

-Who is that man? -Comrades!

You might have heard that this summer will take place...

...the most important event in the history of humanity!

We will finally fuck!

Silence! The man will step on the moon!

Everyone will watch that! Except us in the village!

Because we don't have a TV.

Therefore, I propose that we change our aim...

...of having sex with Uranya!

-Are you insane? -You're making a big mistake!

-You have signed our agreement! -Right!

But the moment is historical!

We can do the other thing later...

Think about it!

It is the biggest, the greatest accomplishment of humanity!

-It is the biggest bullshit! -Take a look.

The dream of humankind, which has been for thousands of years now,

will come true!

And we'll be the only ones missing it because we don't have a TV.

You say it because you have your leg in that plaster and you can't screw!

His leg is in cast, not his dick.

Did you see it? It was written in the book!

All Greece will be put on a cast.

Shut up, you chicken! We should vote!

Me, I can't stand anymore! I'm masturbating 5 times per day!

OK, let's vote!

Those who are for Uranya, rise your hands!

Here we are. Three against two. It is finished!

Who wants to watch the man go up in the skies!

To the God's residence!

-Three against two! Television! -You have voted!

-You can't vote again! -I've changed my mind!

Maria, will you go and call your brother?

She's not going anywhere!

The rabbit is delicious!

Finally, the black ones are the best ones!

The white ones are good too.

-The black ones are more delicious. -Right!

For the cook, not even a word, eh?

True. Very good! Congratulations, woman!

Especially the onions.

Where did you find that dress?

The fabric is from the High Street. Do you like it?

How much does it cost?

-Where did he go again? -You know where you'll find him.

Where you've sewed that dress!

I know everything. Do you really think I'm stupid?

You are all gathering there, in that traitor's house

and who knows what you are doing!

If a woman doesn't take care of herself,

it is pointless!

Did I say that she shouldn't take care of herself

But not at his home!

Come on, my child. Where have you been?

Be grateful that he has a problem with his leg.

What did I hear? You guys are collecting money to buy a TV?

Yes! Yes! I'll present Apollo 11!

In a direct broadcast on the 21st of this month!

Will you collect that kind of money in such a little time?

Mr. Sotiris will help us. We'll put it at his coffee shop...

...so that the whole village can see it!

It's a propaganda, I tell you! The traitors' work.

-Who told him to put a TV? - Us!

Wrong!

The ranger told him to put one!

An he said yes because he is a fascist!

They'll hear us!

If you step into that coffee shop, I'll break your other leg

I only want to see the moon landing, not the dictatorship!

-It is done by the Americans! -They created the dictatorship!

The Russians are trying to go too, but they won't catch up!

Shut up, you little bastard! Don't argue with me!

You'll see, the children will buy the TV in the end!

-Yes, Pagona, but... -My name is Nitsa!

The kids are right!

I was always saying that we need a TV here!

And how much would it cost?

And the kids want it now, to watch the rocket.

How are they going to raise that kind of money on time?

Maybe we could help them!

To be honest, we need it as well. So?

As for me, I have given him a lot of curtain lectures!

I'm telling him that it will be a profit for the coffee shop as well!

This kid, Achilles!

I'm afraid that something will happen to him if he...

...doesn't watch these astronauts going to the moon.

This idea has become...how they call it...

An obsession!

So, we must help the children!

I'm sure that we'll find something to give them!

We'll get to see how this Anna Howard actually looks like.

Our men mustn't know. He has made a fuss about the dress!

I made it clear to him. What do you want, I asked him,

"Do you want me to wear a headscarf like your mother?"

Don't believe what men say, deep down they like it.

You should've seen the priest...

...when I put on those knickers you brought me from Athens.

Oh, shut up...

The play begins: "Karagiozis the astronaut!"

The money we get from the tickets will go to a television set.

"We'll eat, we'll drink and we'll fall asleep starved!"

Shut up you, Karagiozis! You didn't let me sleep at all!

Why did you wake me up? I was having a dream!

With many many cob loaves and spaghetti with sauce!

Karagiozis. Man! What was that? Snoring or The Guns of Navarone?

Give me something to eat! I'm hungry I'm telling you! Hungry!

Karagiozis, you damn idiot! You want me to feed you?

Since you woke me up when I was dreaming about the food,

you'll give me what I dreamt of.

Alright, don't hit me.

Go to the Moon. You'll find loads of food there, for free.

And how do I get there, Hatziavatis?

With a space bus, Karagiozis!

Look, there is a stop nearby!

Yes, indeed! There is a stop! Should I go, or not?

Like "to be or not to be?"

I am going, so help me God.

Oh, Mummy! Mother of Christ!

My life is ruined!

Zoe is here!

Uranya has come!

Play some music! Play quickly!

There it is, a bucket for money! For the television...

For the television.

For the television.

For the television.

For the television. For the television...

So! Guys! The amount has been collected!

1,669 drachmas!

That's not even enough for a radio.

-I have a suggestion. -What kind of suggestion?

Benito!

-Do you know how he got blind? -He stepped on a mine.

Yes, but how did he step on the mine?

He was digging for gold, that's how! He was blinded.

But the point is, he found gold.

And that's what drove him mad.

The entire donkey's saddle-bag is jam-packed with it.

Can't you tell from the way the saddle hangs?

Is that why he never rides the donkey?

That's why.

We could make it a bit lighter, for the poor animal.

Forget it. We could ask him to lend us the money.

Or we could invite him to Uranya's with us.

She'll pop his eyes open.

Hit him!

Hey, hey!

Finally, we are the only ones who will not fuck this year!

Come on, Benito!

Don't cry!

It didn't abandoned you!

It fell in love!

And in addition, during the love, the packsaddle got tore!

There it is! I've finished!

It's as if nothing has happened.

Come on! Stand up so that we put it on.

Did you see? Everything is all right.

Let's go.

Tell me!

My respects, Mr. General.

Rangers chief Batsakoutsas.

I don't know anything about it, Mr. General.

Television has announced it?

We don't have a TV in our village...

The Vice President of the USA?

Agnew?

He will come to our village?

And what am I going to do, Mr. General?

We are only two officers!

One to be more accurate.

You have to send enforcements, Mr. General.

Of course! Of course!

Yes, indeed, it is a high level national matter.

I'll keep you updated, Mr. General.

Yes... My respects!

My respects.

Who could ever believe it?

The Vice President of the USA,

Spiros Agnew,

has a Greek origin.

Long live the immortal Greece!

You produce Great children!

Tell your father that he has to pass by the department...

...because I want him for something.

Your mother...

...asked for a certificate.

Since you are drawing so nicely...

Why do you need that certificate?

So, early... Where have you been?

-At the ranger's. -What did you do again?

Nothing! I drew him a portrait.

A portrait? I hope your father doesn't find out!

Or I'll be in a big trouble!

-OK. Did he pay you well? -Yes.

-OK! -But it isn't enough!

-How much does this TV cost? -6000.

6000?

-How much do you have? -I think the half of it!

Bravo! 3000? In such a short time!

We had some money before...

-From where? Tell me! -Come on, mother, it is obvious...

From the carols.

What did you make here?

An apple pie! Like in Peytons' place!

Very nice!

Achilles, my child, I want to tell you something.

But be careful! Keep it a secret, otherwise...

We, the women, we have decided...

...to help you with our savings, so that you can buy the TV.

Mother!

But be careful! If your father finds out, he'll kill me!

-The ranger has asked for him. -Why?

He told me to tell him to drop by.

Maybe he wants to see him for that certificate.

Yes! I asked for it.

Do you see, my child? You know your father...

I know, I know.

-I've got to forget about the Academy. -Try to humor him a bit.

He works hard for all of us.

Mother, what do you want from me?

To use the electric winding?

-He had dreams about you. -I can make my own dreams.

He's thinking of getting into aluminium!

Don't be too hard on him. In the old days, he used to...

Mother, I'm tired of hearing what father used to do.

I want you to know something!

I'm not going to become a blacksmith and

I will not stay at village forever!

-And, where will you go? -I don't know...

-To the Moon! -Be a bit patient, my boy,

things will get better.

When will you come back?

Just count, man! Count!

I'll never understand why stingy people count so slow.

We've saved: 2278 drachmas and 30 cents.

Fucking TV. Each one of us would have gone 3 times with Uranya.

Count this money, too.

Where did you get it?

Don't look at me like that. It's from our mothers.

1000 more and we'll bought it!

5 rounds of masturbation per day will kill us!

Fanourios, does the priest make the Holy Communion with this wine?

I don't think he makes it with this. This must be what he keeps at home.

Wine, is the blood of Christ!

And bread is his body!

And what are the squids?

Mr. Clever, what have you brought, you penny pincher?

I brought desert!

I brought dessert too! An apple pie.

Mine is better.

Where the hell did you find that, man? Oh, shit!

Look here: How you should inform the...

Children, welcome!

Why have you gotten scared, children? I'm not so scary, am I scary?

Hickory, dickory dock, the mouse ran up the clock.

The clock struck one, the mouse ran down...

Hickory, dickory, dock!

You, small guy? Who are your parents? -Chariklia and Stamatis...

-Yours? -Coffee shop.

Thomas, right?

-Which one is the blacksmith's boy? -It's me.

You are Achilles, right?

Bravo! Bravo!

Which one of you could tell me...

-...what is going to happen? -The moon landing?

No! No! Other than that!

Someone is going to come at your village!

-You know who? Can you tell me? -I know!

The vice president of USA.

Bravo, Achilles?

And who told it to you my child? Your father?

No, the ranger.

The ranger?

Don't tell me! When?

-While I was portraying him. -Portraying him?

-What were you drawing? -I was making...

-...his portrait because... -His portrait?

Because we're saving money to buy a TV.

I know! I know! You don't have a TV at your village!

-No. -What a pity, right?

The moon landing will be presented as well!

So...

-How much money do you still need? -1000 drachmas...

-What are we going to do with those? -Are we going to spread them?

To every single person in the village.

USA's vice president is coming! USA's vice president is coming!

USA's vice president is coming!

USA's vice president is coming! USA's vice president is coming!

USA's vice president is coming!

USA's vice president is coming!

USA's vice president is coming!

If I catch you, you little bastard!

Take those as well, and don't you dare coming!

Dimitrakopoulos!

National Service of Information.

Come in! Sit down, sit down...

Please.

Your record.

Haven't you taken the order for the pictures' replacement?

Or may be you haven't taken it into consideration.

You haven't heard of it: Every single village...

I have heard of it You know, the ladder...

How many times have I told you that you must replace them?

-Should I get them down now? -No!

Let's start. So, it must be said:

"A complete absence of any kind...

...of propaganda materials in the public areas,

such as: Badges,

Viva the revolution, posters at the village's entrance."

As I was informed, the specific material has been sent to you,

or maybe, I'm mistaken!

Or, maybe, you don't have a ladder...

...in order to post them?

Entering your village,

it seems like the revolution hasn't yet taken place at this place!

-Mr. Batsa... -Koutsas.

Batsakoutsas.

Mr. Batsakoutsas, you had to send a report...

...for the political ideology of the habitants of your area,

even before the revolution time.

At that time you were showing excellent diligence!

-What has happened since then? -Nothing particular...

...is going on in the village.

Once, we were 5 minions,

now, only one minion,

and I wouldn't say...

I understand. You don't have enough time.

The toilet.

For artistry though, we have time!

And moreover, communist gangsters offsprings' artistry!

Do you know what is right here?

-Turkey. -Castelorizo!

The undesirable transfer of our teacher...

Do you know how many villages...

...the honourable Mr. Vice President of USA will visit?

And moreover,

do you know who is responsible for the security of this visit?

It is me!

And do you know, maybe, what is the best method of security?

It is written here!

Have you made an effort to open it?

Together: Prevention!

Prevention!

Prevention...

Finally, you were right!

If you don't say the wish, it comes true!

We saved the money and we're going to buy the TV.

And if everything goes right, at 20th of June,

our village will watch the man going to the moon.

Isn't that wonderful?

Did you see? I told you! If you want something a lot, it comes true!

You can even go to the moon!

Armstrong as well must have wanted it very much!

How about you? Are you going to tell me your wish?

I'm not telling you.

-Me? Am I inside your wish? -I'm not telling you.

What a pity!

Today there are no more stars so that I could make another wish!

Right! Why aren't there any stars?

There are, but we can't see them because the full moon!

And when the astronauts will go to the moon, will it be a full moon?

It depends from which side you observe it.

What does that mean?

I'll explain to you.

Here is the Earth. Namely, us.

And here is the moon.

Stop laughing and pay attention.

And here... is the Sun!

-Prevention. -Excellent!

And, as well,

intimidation!

-Intimidation -Above all is intimidation!

So, what do we need?

We are going to arrest one or two people for intimidating,

and as an example.

What kind of information do we have?

Fortunately, there are some patriots who took care of that.

So, our informer says that:

In your village, an action of anarchists-communists takes place,

and parliamentary...!

Parliamentary!

-Batsak. -Shut the Batsak up!

Maria, take this to your brother.

Here you are, father. Do you want pepper?

He can't get up.

Is he sick?

Sick?

Sure! Give more food to the snake.

Achilles is not a snake.

The snake who brought the American flag to my house!

So what? Everybody did!

Do you know what that means? In my house?

The ungrateful! I give him food and water, I send him to school...

And he gets paid from fascists...

...to take that flag into our village!

And now he sleeps until midday!

They are children they don't understand.

Of course!

He finally resembles you, what he could understand of ideology?

Only decorations, films!

And now, a TV!

Fucking yes! Television!

I can't stand it anymore! Do you hear me?

You and your blacksmith work, and your political party!

What do you want? Me to do whatever you want?

Achilles to be a blacksmith because you want it?

To believe what you believe in, to vote what you have voted for?!

I've never voted what you told me to vote!

Not once!

And one day, Achilles will leave, and I will too!

Hey! What's your name?

Continue like nothing is going on, continue like nothing is going on.

What are you up to here, Alekos? Did we brake the things?

Sit down!

You have a good child, right?

I'm speaking about Achilles.

He has a talented hand.

Are you going to make him an artist?

It's a habit for you, the leftists.

You as well, you are an artist! Do you listen any kind of music?

-What? -I'm asking you! Do you hear music?

I have the radio!

I see! You have the radio!

Continue like nothing is going on. Continue like nothing is going on!

Thomas?

Everything is all right, yes? All right, my child?

-Sotiris Mandas? -Certainly!

With the former congressman, Madas,

do you have any kind an affinity? -No!

We are second cousins, it's nothing!

Do you want me to make some coffee?

I'll put the best one. Not the chick peas!

Everything is all right, my child!

Since primary school...

...schoolmates and friends.

Hand and glove, as we say! Right?

Like that was before the...

The gangsters' war?

I've been exiled because of him!

If you only knew how many communists I've seen...

...that are great friends with the rightists!

I don't even pass outside of his coffee shop!

And what about your wife?

What does she want every day at the coffee maker's house?

And moreover, secretly! That's an old trick!

-This is called "a link"! -Certainly!

Except if...

I don't know...

-What do you have to say? -I want to speak with a lawyer!

I told him that we'll get into trouble!

He called them "Junta" all the time!

So! Here we are!

What is this?

Isn't it a junta?

They have overreacted.

You didn't wake me up so that I could show them...

...their fucked race!

What are they going to do with him now?

And that child? Where did he go so late?

Their fucking bullshit!

Where do you go now, father? Go to sleep!

Don't forget your medicine!

Sit down.

I said: Sit down!

Sit down...

And your children, they are...

This is an incident as well?

And the money that they're saving?

Don't tell me that they want to buy a TV!

Confess!

Otherwise, you know where you'll end up to?

Go to hell!

Yaros,

Ai Stratis,

Markronisos...

What do you prefer?

Now I'll show them!

You went completely crazy? you want to make it worst?

Put the gun down! We have 3 children!

Let me show him, the ranger bastard,

the chicken thief, whose father was a drunkard!

Let it! Sit over there! Over there!

It's not the ranger's fault!

I asked everywhere. Nobody saw him!

And Thomas just came back from the airplane.

-He was neither there! -Where could he go?

They got his father too, the coffee-maker!

What?

They arrested the coffee-maker?

Now I don't understand anything!

Get up!

Get up, I said!

Put them down!

The cadres!

Why are the bells ringing?

Why are the bells ringing?

-Why are the bells ringing? -A child is missing!

Blacksmith's son. They can't find him.

Get the hell out of my sight, and find him!

Command me!

If you don't find the child...

Castelorizo!

-Good morning, grandpa! -Good morning, father!

-Hello, old man! -Good morning!

-Come on, father. -Good morning!

I must have drunk a lot of wine!

So, they set you free with the condition that you make this bird?

Something like that.

Sotiris has to decorate the coffee shop for the visit!

-And if you had said no? - Say what?

And what would all of you eat, little man?

They would have exiled me! Step aside a bit!

Me!

I'm learning, I have already started.

I can see your hand is talented!

-But, is not necessary... -What happened again?

Just listen to what I'm telling you...

You'll leave the village, so that you can do what you want!

And if you want to be a pilot, I'll send you abroad!

In Russia?

Bravo! Bravo!

It's beautiful! You must always have it like that!

-What happened? Did you finish? -I'm almost done.

-Are you finished, Alekos? -We do what we can!

How do you like it?

To the right, the right!

So, as we discussed?

The car is coming, the door is opening,

the Vice President is descending, you are here...

Who is pretending to be the Vice President? You, OK?

He comes, you play the march song and when he departs the country song!

A Greek one, OK? Not an insular one!

The photographer? Where is the photographer?

You, here... The people...

You are applauding, applauding.

"Child of Greece Mr. Spiros Agnew, welcome to our village!"

"It is a pleasure for our place to welcome you,

and that our place makes their kids welcome!"

Welcome to our village!

Welcome to our village!

Maybe the flight from America was delayed!

The rural constable has to go further!

Bloody field guard!

Welcome to our village! Welcome to our village!

Welcome to our...

Oh! Sirtaki, very nice!

Bravo!

We'll wait 10 more minutes for Fotis and we're going to take the money.

This is illegal, for each withdrawal of money we have to be all together!

I agree! But we have to give the money or we'll not buy the TV.

-I say we wait. -And if he doesn't show up?

Me, as the cashier, I won't put my hand on the money...

...without a quorum!

I'm going to take the money!

-I'm sorry, leave it! -Just grab it!

Fotis!

Welcome, children!

Who is next?

Aren't you going to come?

Come inside!

Achilles, when you'll come to Athens, come to visit me!

I love you, Achilles.

Did you understand, man? That was planned already!

I was left without a projectionist!

But I found another one!

I will not let it pass like that! Enter!

The projection starts soon!

Westerns, you should play westerns!

They brought the TV?

Enter, gentlemen!

The projection will begin as usual!

Come on, turn it a bit!

Let's go.

-How do you switch this on? -Wait, man!

We have to plug it in first.

What are you doing there?

On-Off.

-It doesn't work. -It will!

It's taking too long.

It will work.

It is out of order.

It doesn't work.

It's out of order!

We are leaving and going to see the film at the cinema.

It is a fraud! Let's go!

Enter, gentlemen! Enter!

The projection will start soon!

It won't show the devil, please, God, forgive me!

Antenna!

Antenna!

Bravo, Thomas.

-Look now! -Over there, over there! Yes!

-Higher! Higher! -There it is!

-Higher, higher! -It's coming!

So, what was necessary was an antenna!

Are you coming down of the ladder now?

He is coming!

That's one small step for man,

one giant leap for mankind.

Where are you going?
