Vita! Vita!

Daughter!

Hurry up, Vita, you'll be late

Good morning, Father

You came?

You're surprised?

When you said you'd think about it, I thought it was a polite refusal

I don't do commissions anymore

It's strange that you thought of me

You could have asked anyone to do it

I'm not used to all this

I remember your early works

That kind of style seemed appropriate here

To homeless people in the shelter...

your painting will bring joy and solace

Which seems appropriate

No, don't tell me...

what you need the Annunciation for

I don't care

I'm sorry, Father

Your proposal sounds interesting

That's why I'm here

I don't do things I'm not interested in

I accept your commission, Father

I see some pretty flowers grow in your garden

I think she's what I need

Her name is Vita

If I understand correctly, you want to paint her?

I need a model, Father

I hope she will agree to sit for me

Vita won't say no to me and it's for a good cause

So you'll send her to me?

I don't want any other model

Well...

I have no objections

Although I don't see Vita in this role

You're not an artist, you can't see what I see in her

I should've slept more

No point in coming early today

So what are we doing tonight?

I don't know. I've a lot of homework

Let's reserve a table at the bar

They play country music, we can dance without going deaf

Vita!

Can you wait for me? This'll only take a minute

Let me introduce you - Albert, is an artist

He wants to paint you

- Me? - Yes

He wants you to sit for the Virgin Mary

I hope your work will adorn the shelter on Ascension Day

Come to my studio, tomorrow

I've got those books for you. You can study in my room

May I come in?

I'm probably too early

You're right on time

- Your name's Vita? - Yes

Have a look round

A model has to feel at home when she's working...

and not be all eyes

Let the girl pour us some wine

The wine is by the mirror

So are the glasses

Have some yourself

Don't listen to her, Vita

The Virgin Mary must be pure

And innocent

Here you go

Be careful!

Better take a look at my work

And remember...

here you must play by my rules

What is this?

What scared you?

They're eating each other

Take care, Albert was once bitten by a she-spider

A spider's bite is no worse than a woman's

Albert, we're leaving

So? What do you think?

That's how I painted when I was young

- It's garbage - But I really like them

Sit down

Now listen...

From now on you're at my mercy

Here you are in my domain

You must obey only me

From now on, you are bound to be with me forever

Have I scared you?

Very good

Remember, my girl...

Don't be afraid... of anything here

But, damn...

what's up with your hair?

Would the Virgin Mary...

have her hair arranged like that?

Wonderful...

You will be just as I imagined her

But you must know...

appearances are deceptive

They hide the soul

And the soul...

is a great mystery

We strive to unravel the souls of others...

and protect our own...

from external evil

Let's forget everything...

There's only you and me...

this space...

and what lies ahead of us

Get back! To your places!

- I'm scared! - I told you...

don't be afraid of anything

Don't be afraid of me

- Let go of me! - Don't be scared...

Let go of me!

Come here...

Stay with us...

No!

Let me go!

Remember...

Appearances are deceptive

They hide the soul

And the soul is a great mystery

A great mystery...

- Hello? - You must come back

You're mine... until the work is finished

Vita!

Vita, I know you're there. Dinner's ready, come on!

Where were you so late?

With the girls...

...at a cafe

Really?

And who called you just now?

Vita? Can't you answer me?

What does all this mean? What's up with you?

You don't want to talk to me?

Vita? Come on...

We always got on so well

It's always been just the two of us

You know what I've dreamt many times?

That...

there are three of us, you understand?

Yes, three of us. It was like that in every dream

But who is this third person? He always hides his eyes

- I can't see him properly... - Vita

What happened to your lips?

Answer me

It's nothing

I'm not a child anymore

Yes?

It's me

- Yes? - Good evening

Your call...

...you know how I feel about your daughter

I am grateful for that

But...

Something's going on with her

She's become rude and secretive

Believe me, it's normal at her age

The girl is eager for adventure

There's nothing wrong with that

Vita will soon get over this, believe me

But if it really upsets you, I'll talk to her tomorrow

Thank you

Is there something else?

I haven't told you everything, Father

Dear God...

I protected her so much, and all for nothing

Don't worry

I think your fears are exaggerated

Your daughter is a good Christian...

I hope something will change after you talk to her

Remember yourself at her age. Trust me...

No!

Vita!

Vita! What's going on?

- Vita, open up! - Open the door!

Vita, what happened?

What was all that noise?

Why are you so scared?

Can I help you?

I don't need anyone's help, Father

I don't need anyone's help, Father

I don't need anyone's help... don't need anyone's...

- Hold it - It stings

What a strange rash...

It's all because of stress

What happened to you?

Just a spider bite

It can't be

Never heard of spiders biting like that. Nonsense...

It was a spider

Now you're scaring me

May I come in?

I was just passing by and thought I'd say hello

Passing by?

We're a long way from your church

So there's no need to make up stories

But since you're here...

- Coffee? - Yes, with pleasure

Once you saw the world very differently

The world is changing

We are, too

You confuse cause and effect, Albert

We are changing and so we change the world

And not for the best, sadly

It doesn't apply to you though, Father

Each of us bears guilt

Let's drop the subject

To be honest...

I wanted to talk to you about Vita

I didn't know what was wrong with her

But now I can see it much more clearly

I have to withdraw my commission

Vita won't sit for you anymore

Are you sure?

Goodbye

- Dear friend - I'm listening

- How is your work? - You know...

Your model didn't like my friends

So she left

I hope that you will still finish the work

I'm counting on it

I will, there's no doubt

But on one condition...

until the work is finished, Vita belongs to me

Mom! Mom!

Don't worry, just look at my hand

Up

Down

Right

Good

How did these anxiety attacks begin?

Close your eyes

Relax

Now remember...

What did you see?

I saw a spider, a giant spider. He...

He...

I see

Close your eyes again

What is in your left hand right now?

Wait...

A star

A glass star

Now we'll put a star in your right hand, too

Are you holding it tight?

- I am - Now look

Don't worry, it's normal

Now go to this room and undress

Let's have a look at that rash

I don't understand

Yesterday there were strange marks, like bites

There were no marks yesterday

It's just a form of self-suggestion

From your daughter to you

What should we do then, doctor?

A change of scene might help her

A week in the bosom of nature

Vita, do you want to visit aunt Magda?

You can stay with her on the island

Fine

It's your station

Vita?

Hi, I'm Juris

Aunt Magda wrote us that she now has a husband...

and a grown-up son Juris

- I didn't know you'd be like this - Like what?

Well... cheerful. And pretty

All women in our family are, like mom and aunt Magda

- Really? - Of course

Here we go

Cool! Is this our ride?

It's almost an antique

I restored it myself

The most reliable transport on the island

Vita, my sweet

At last! I was getting worried

Jimmy, calm down

Jimmy? And you're uncle Aivar?

That's me

It's so nice here. I'm glad I came

- You're very welcome - Oh, uncle Aivar!

Call me Aivar

How are you? Is everything fine at home?

Let Vita rest, you can ask all that later

Juris, help our guest

OK?

Quite a girl, your niece

It took me a whole year to get this room done

Yeah? Then it's yours?

You know, Juris, I can sleep anywhere

I'll be happy if you stay here

It's really nice in here

If it gets cold, we can light the fire

We live in the castle in summer and let our house to artists

There'll be a museum here soon

- Does that work? - Yes

So you won't get bored

Only old tapes though

I wish I'd known, I could have brought some

You can listen to mine

I'll get some water

All right. And I'll get changed

Juris...

What's up?

I saw something, like... shadows on the wall

Oh, that's just a trick of the light

A joke by the man who built this castle

An optical effect

- Like shadow puppets? - Something like that

When I was sick as a child, my father used to do it

Something like this

Anyway, enough of this

Want to see the island from above?

- Of course - Let's go

Which way? Here?

No, that's my room. I'll show you later

- And what's in here? - A bedroom we don't use

You shouldn't go in there

- I shouldn't? - Nobody should

Oh, so high up!

From here you can see the whole island

It used to belong to an Archbishop

There were villages, a smithy, and even a fleet

So where's the sea?

There, behind those trees

You can't see it from here

Juris... who's that?

That's the chief executioner

He's a deaf-mute

Who is it really?

He looked at me with such wild eyes

You know... you should probably avoid him

Best to keep away from this place

What's in here?

- The tower entrance - So dark...

- Are you afraid? - I'm not afraid of anything

Calm down

Let's go

Good morning

- Is everybody up? - And they've had breakfast

Come on, sit down

- How'd you sleep? - Like a log

I love it here

Juris is going to show me around

What's to see here?

Some trees, rocks, the sea

Thanks

I don't know when we'll be back

Juris...

You scared me!

You said you weren't afraid of anything

I'm sorry

Are there ghosts here?

Not before, but maybe there are now

Honestly, Juris, there must be

At least one

All right, I'll tell you a secret

A ghost did show up here very recently

A pretty, ginger haired, crafty one

Am I so obvious?

I can even read your mind

- Should I? - Better not

Want to hear an old legend?

Go on

It's actually about that abandoned bedroom

The Baron's young daughter lived there

Once upon a time, at the castle gates...

Vita!

Is that you?

I'm so glad you're here

I'm so scared

Calm down

- Are you cold? - No

I can't leave by myself

This room...

it won't let me go

Take me away

Why did you go there?

I don't know myself

- Now will you listen to me? - Sure

Jimmy, let's go swimming

- Aivar... - What?

What are you doing here?

I was scared

- Don't be afraid of anything - All right

You have a nice sauna here

- Do you like sauna? - I don't know

It's a shame I'm an old man, otherwise I'd show you how it's done

Aivar, you're not an old man

Well...

You don't look like you're Juris's dad at all

- You're too young - Careful, Vita...

I might believe you!

Will you fix the sauna?

- I could do it tomorrow - Great!

But we have a tradition, men have to go first

- You must find it boring here - Not at all

- Our rural life... - On the contrary

Aivar, it looks like a ferret is visiting our hen house

This hen's head has been bitten off

Juris, you should set a trap

Hi

You were told not to do that

What did I do wrong?

Really...

- Hello - Hello, Father, it's Magda

Vita is staying with us

Yes... Is something wrong?

I think you should come here

Thanks for letting me know

Magda!

Juris!

What happened?

What happened to you? Where's Jimmy?

I don't know

I think he ran off into the woods

Strange

He just vanished

Listen...

There!

Here you are

Where did this filth come from?

Poor thing, what happened to you?

What's up?

Let's go

I'd like to know what's going on here

So... you can't sleep either?

It's like a cave in here

I brought you the player

Want to listen to some music?

Leave it here

I... didn't know you smoked

And there's lots of things I didn't know about you

What do you mean?

Nothing

- You're acting funny - How?

I didn't come to argue with you

- What then? - Just don't think I...

There's someone in that room

I can hear steps

I'm probably a coward after all

Right?

OK, let's have a look

But be quiet

- Good morning! - Hello

- Are you fixing the sauna? - Yes

- We can have a steam bath? - This evening

- That's too long to wait - The rocks have to get hot

- I'll have a look upstairs - Just don't fall

Juris, will it really take until this evening?

If it's not right, you won't enjoy it

Of course

I'll steal Juris just for a moment

It turns out the world really is small

What a nice surprise, Father

Don't lie to me, Mr Painter

Our meeting is hardly a pleasure for you

Maybe. So what?

As I understand it, my model's guardian angel has arrived

Listen, leave the girl alone

You will get her back only when my work is finished

Either you leave at once or I'm taking Vita away today

Don't you think I could be in love with my model?

Love and evil intentions don't mix well, Albert

Both evil and good are threads of a spider web

It's funny - untangle it and they're gone, both good and evil

I won't allow you to tempt a fragile soul

Are you planning to fight me, Father?

You think the man you asked to paint the Annunciation...

is the same man that now stands before you?

I have faith in the creator

There's nothing fixed in His world, all is in flux and uncertain

In the game of light and shadow it's easy to take mirage for reality

- How was the sauna? - Very good

Dinner's ready

Don't wait for me and Vita

You don't take a steam bath like that

How should it be done?

Lie down, I'll show you

Go on

Just like that

- Enough? - Probably

Well, how do you like our rural sauna?

It's great!

You hear these footsteps?

Just imagination. OK, I'm going

I'll stay for a while

All right, don't be long

Close the door so that the wind won't blow it open

OK!

Let her go!

Run, Vita!

Juris!

Shall we go?

Wait
