00:00:00Polish-German Convention
00:00:15It's been four years since Upper Silesia became a part of Poland.
00:00:22The Geneva Convention, a treaty between the governments of Poland and Germany.
00:00:31This treaty is to ensure the continuity of economic life and guarantee the right to life in accordance with national traditions.
00:00:41The German minority, which does not cease to instill distrust in everything that is Polish, takes advantage of this.
00:00:49Germany has not lost almost anything of its socio-economic positions.
00:00:54Industry has mostly remained under the control of their capital.
00:00:58Poles are only a labor force in it.
00:01:02This state, as well as economic difficulties, give rise to bitterness and protest.
00:01:07These very social moods decided in 1926
00:01:12to support the recovery of Silesia by a large part of the society, especially the combatant community,
00:01:19which finally wanted to take a position suitable for the role it played in the fight for the unification of Silesia with the Republic of Poland.
00:01:27More and more nominations were demanded for the Silesian man's voivodeship,
00:01:32who would be able to resist the destructive work of the Germans.
00:01:36The Pasternik family, with the exception of Jerzy Pasternaich,
00:01:41from the very beginning took part in the efforts to strengthen Polishness in Upper Silesia,
00:01:47which was still in danger.
00:01:50Stanik is retiring, but is still working at the mine.
00:01:55Róża is taking care of the house.
00:01:58Henryk has just finished his studies and has not yet returned from Kraków.
00:02:04Tomasz works at the mine.
00:02:07Paulina raises three sons for him.
00:02:10One-year-old Zbyszek,
00:02:12seven-year-old Zygmunt,
00:02:15and ten-year-old Bolka.
00:02:19Robert works at the same mine as his father and Tomasz.
00:02:24Teresa takes care of the children.
00:02:28Eighteen-year-old Gustek,
00:02:31twelve-year-old Marysia,
00:02:34and seven-year-old Rysiek.
00:02:37Jerzy has become deputy director.
00:02:40Irma raises ten-year-old Will and seven-year-old Werner.
00:05:30Children, go to the yard.
00:05:42Have you forgotten? I've been waiting for so long.
00:05:47I haven't forgotten.
00:05:50Look how much money I have left.
00:05:58So little?
00:06:01Everything is getting more expensive.
00:06:06You could have bought me some candy.
00:06:10I know.
00:06:12Candy is not a property.
00:06:15But believe me,
00:06:17I was afraid that when I enter this shop,
00:06:20I would buy all the candy,
00:06:22chocolate,
00:06:24and everything that is there.
00:06:27We'll eat it all,
00:06:28drink it all,
00:06:30and that will be the end.
00:06:34You don't have to do that.
00:06:38I'm afraid of washing the dirty dishes.
00:06:41I'll do something about it.
00:06:46We won't die, we'll raise our children.
00:06:51We swore in front of the altar
00:06:54that we would live together,
00:06:56although I don't know what.
00:06:58For better or for worse.
00:07:03I'll buy some candy for the children.
00:07:08Mom, I'm late.
00:07:12Dad, you don't have the money anymore, do you?
00:07:15I have everything.
00:07:18You got two zlotys from me when you paid me.
00:07:22Not enough.
00:07:25But now I can't give you this either.
00:07:29I won't leave a penny for myself either.
00:07:35Mom,
00:07:37I have a good interest in you.
00:07:40Lend me two zlotys,
00:07:44and I'll give you four in the evening.
00:07:47Take it.
00:07:55Why did you give it to him?
00:07:57We all have to save money.
00:07:59Gustav is 18 years old,
00:08:01and we give him two zlotys.
00:08:05He doesn't smoke, he doesn't laugh.
00:08:07He doesn't.
00:08:09Is it his fault that he can't get a job?
00:08:27Will you smoke?
00:08:32I don't smoke.
00:08:34Why not?
00:08:38I'll be out in a week, in six days.
00:08:42What about you? Do you smoke?
00:08:45Don't you want to get a job?
00:08:50He got more money yesterday,
00:08:53so let him get a job.
00:08:54You, you, you...
00:08:56Don't say that.
00:08:58A job is equal to a salary, isn't it?
00:09:01A job is equal to a salary, too.
00:09:03And what for?
00:09:05If you're so curious, come to my office.
00:09:07I can give you a job application
00:09:09and you can look for a better job.
00:09:11We don't know yet who will look for it.
00:09:13Yes, yes, yes.
00:09:15So what should I do?
00:09:17I want to earn more,
00:09:19like everyone else, like Manzel.
00:09:21Do you think that Mr. Belczer
00:09:24will pay for what they did to him
00:09:26and for what is behind him?
00:09:30Do I have to suffer for these uprisings?
00:09:36The uprisings are already behind us.
00:09:39Now it's important
00:09:41what is today and what will be tomorrow.
00:09:44Don't you see what's going on in Warsaw?
00:09:47The Poles are shooting at us.
00:09:49The Poles are shooting at the Poles.
00:09:52Because that's how it always is.
00:09:54If the hosts can't do it, they shoot at themselves.
00:09:57Think about it, Vanad.
00:10:00Not everything is lost yet.
00:10:08I have an important message for you.
00:10:14Mr. President of the brightest Republic of Poland,
00:10:17Professor Ignacy Mościcki,
00:10:20at the request of Mr. Prime Minister,
00:10:23Professor Kazimierz Bartla,
00:10:25appointed the Silesian Voivodeship
00:10:28Dr. Michał Grażyński.
00:10:37As you know,
00:10:39the Silesian land is not foreign to the new Voivodeship.
00:10:43It returns to it after five years of absence
00:10:45to fulfill the difficult duty entrusted to it.
00:10:49The Voivodeship will be here in the next few days.
00:10:52For now, it was detained in Warsaw
00:10:55in the Ministry of Agriculture.
00:10:58He asked me to give this to you.
00:11:06We had an agreement.
00:11:08Vanad,
00:11:10when I finish my studies, I'm going back to Upper Silesia,
00:11:13and you're coming with me.
00:11:16I've finished my studies.
00:11:20Now we were supposed to go on holiday together.
00:11:23But it turned out differently.
00:11:26The Silesian Voivodeship was founded by my boss,
00:11:29Dr. Michał Grażyński, a.k.a. Borelowski.
00:11:31I have to go to Katowice. It's a matter of our future.
00:11:34Do you think it's tomorrow?
00:11:36We have to dig the iron while it's hot.
00:11:38Don't forget that my grandfather was a blacksmith.
00:11:41I feel like I'm going away forever.
00:11:45I'm sorry you think so.
00:11:49What evil force is pulling you to this Silesia?
00:11:52Please get in. Close the door.
00:11:54I'm taking you away from me.
00:12:11Goodbye.
00:12:18Good morning.
00:12:20Good morning.
00:12:22I have an appointment with the Silesian Voivodeship.
00:12:25My name is Henryk Pasternik.
00:12:27Please come to the office of the Silesian Voivodeship's secretary.
00:12:37Good morning.
00:12:38Good morning.
00:12:40Good morning, lieutenant.
00:12:42I'm so glad to see you again.
00:12:45Sit down, my dear.
00:12:47It's been five years since we last saw each other.
00:12:50How are you?
00:12:52I received a message from the Silesian Voivodeship.
00:12:55I was supposed to report today.
00:12:57I know. I know everything.
00:12:59Why do I know?
00:13:01I'm his secretary for now.
00:13:03The boss wants to surround himself with his people,
00:13:06those from the headquarters.
00:13:08He was upset when he received your letter.
00:13:10Unfortunately, he had to leave for Warsaw urgently.
00:13:13You see, there are many important matters now.
00:13:16Besides, Korfanty is still on the move.
00:13:18But we'll talk about that later.
00:13:20The boss told me to take care of you.
00:13:23You're local.
00:13:25Young, full of energy.
00:13:27That's what we need, he said.
00:13:29I'm at your disposal.
00:13:31He intends to entrust you with a responsible position.
00:13:35But to the point.
00:13:36Where do you live?
00:13:38In Kraków, for now.
00:13:40You'll get a place for now.
00:13:42We're starting in a soldier's way, the boss said.
00:13:46You'll have to wait a bit for comfort and earn it.
00:13:50You'll go to the commander of the Walski.
00:13:53The boss told me to find a place for you.
00:13:56And from tomorrow,
00:13:58let's say the day after tomorrow,
00:14:00you'll start working.
00:14:02So what if Upper Silesia is Poland?
00:14:04What has changed in these four years?
00:14:07Poverty has changed.
00:14:09For the worse.
00:14:11Boys, take it easy.
00:14:13The time will come for everything.
00:14:16Korfanty will deal with it.
00:14:18Him?
00:14:20He's got nothing to say.
00:14:22As a leader of the opposition party,
00:14:24he can only interfere.
00:14:26Are you stupid in Kraków?
00:14:28Let him say.
00:14:30Who was best suited to become a Silesian voivode?
00:14:32Korfanty.
00:14:34That's what he said.
00:14:36Rightly so.
00:14:38He fought for the Silesian union with Poland.
00:14:41He did it in the German parliament,
00:14:43at rallies, in uprisings.
00:14:45He should be in charge of taking over Silesia.
00:14:47But the voivode's office was too small for him.
00:14:50He wanted to be prime minister in Warsaw.
00:14:53l regret that l went to those uprisings.
00:14:57Robert, l beg you.
00:14:59Those who didn't go
00:15:01have it better than we do.
00:15:03Those who were on the other side, too.
00:15:06So you went to the uprisings
00:15:09to have bread and sausage?
00:15:13You'll have to wait a while.
00:15:18We can,
00:15:20but our children are getting old too quickly.
00:15:24Have you already forgotten?
00:15:27We've waited many years for Poland to be here.
00:15:29Would you like it to be here like in paradise in four years?
00:15:34No, Carlos.
00:15:36Not yet.
00:15:38We have to grit our teeth and get to work.
00:15:44Tell us what's going on between you and me.
00:15:48You don't know?
00:15:51l'd like to live a little in Poland.
00:15:55l'd like to go to the park on Sunday.
00:15:59l'd like to buy my children lemonade and a beer.
00:16:03Maybe two.
00:16:05ls that too much?
00:16:07No.
00:16:09You used to dance with the directors.
00:16:12You played with their children.
00:16:15And then you came to our side.
00:16:18What's it like when a man goes from one side to the other?
00:16:23l don't know what it's like.
00:16:26l didn't go from one side to the other.
00:16:29l went from someone else's to ours.
00:16:32You'll always manage to say it in a roundabout way.
00:16:37Robert, don't break down. Hang in there.
00:16:40l don't know who to...
00:16:43But when you look under the coin, you know everything.
00:16:47And now it's even worse than before the war.
00:16:52When Polak worked well, he was able to make money.
00:16:56And now, to make good money, you have to stay with the Germans.
00:17:02That will change.
00:17:08Gentlemen, only without nerves.
00:17:11The voivode is only an official.
00:17:14lf he wants to bite, he'll break his teeth.
00:17:18He won't bite.
00:17:19He has a gag in the form of a Geneva Convention.
00:17:25And if he doesn't want to?
00:17:28Then we'll start shouting all over the world.
00:17:32Listen to me.
00:17:34The business is doing well.
00:17:37The Polish government benefits from it.
00:17:41And l don't think the voivode would want to disturb us.
00:17:46May l?
00:17:47Go ahead.
00:17:49My deputy knows the local conditions well.
00:17:54Let me remind you, gentlemen,
00:17:57that we have a very effective mood regulator in our hands.
00:18:01Work and pay.
00:18:03The one who has work and good pay is satisfied.
00:18:10l think there should be as many dissatisfied Poles as possible.
00:18:15That's right.
00:18:17The Poles should be employed in subordinate positions.
00:18:22They must feel that in Poland it's worse than it was in Germany.
00:18:28To achieve a certain balance,
00:18:32some Poles should be brought into our supervisory councils.
00:18:38That's right.
00:18:40A couple of aristocrats, Ziemian, someone from the government.
00:18:45Not too many.
00:18:47Just enough for decoration and propaganda.
00:18:50That's right.
00:18:52The Poles as partners in industry or finance
00:18:56don't represent any value.
00:18:59When elected to the councils, they feel honoured.
00:19:04One must remember that even the last Wajdak
00:19:07can show gratitude for undeserved honours.
00:19:11That's right.
00:19:13People who are bribed can be loyal allies.
00:19:18lt's no harm to have such people in our factories.
00:19:21Of course, on an average level.
00:19:25Therefore, the voivode is not as terrible as they paint him.
00:19:33That's right.
00:20:03Mr. Mayor, it will take a long time.
00:20:07Why? Don't you like it here?
00:20:10I'm a foreman.
00:20:12And you're wasting my time here on the square.
00:20:15I've already told you that if you don't like it here, you can look for another job.
00:20:20Mr. Mayor, what's the point of a job?
00:20:22Tell me, what's the point?
00:20:25Do you know about me?
00:20:26No.
00:20:27Then I'll tell you.
00:20:30We both speak Silesian here, because it's easier for us.
00:20:35But I'm from the German spirit.
00:20:38And you're from the Polish one.
00:20:46What's the matter with me?
00:20:51Silesia is a sin.
00:20:54Welcome to Volksbund.
00:21:23Why are you looking after him?
00:21:26Ask him. You're his father.
00:21:29But you look after him when I'm not at home all day.
00:21:34Gustek is an adult. He's 18 years old.
00:21:39If you don't like him, talk to him.
00:21:42It's a matter of a father, not a mother.
00:21:47Do you smoke?
00:21:52Have you eaten?
00:21:54Go to the yard.
00:22:07He doesn't smoke, but he has money.
00:22:11I don't know where.
00:22:14Does he steal?
00:22:15Don't say that word.
00:22:17Where did the money come from?
00:22:20Do you think it's easy now?
00:22:23I know he's getting married.
00:22:25That's why I'm talking to you.
00:22:28He's a smuggler, but he's not a thief.
00:22:34I could have more money too.
00:22:41If what?
00:22:43If you got married to him?
00:22:46Why are you so upset?
00:22:51Do you think it's easy for me?
00:22:56Robert, we've already lost.
00:23:00The most beautiful thing is behind us.
00:23:04We played theater, we sang together.
00:23:08We got to know each other.
00:23:11Then money didn't mean anything.
00:23:15Now we have children and expenses.
00:23:20I could have more money.
00:23:29If what?
00:23:32If you got married to him?
00:23:36God forbid!
00:23:38It's not about me.
00:23:41It's about you and the children.
00:23:46Do you think I don't want you to be so upset?
00:23:49No, Robert.
00:23:51There's money.
00:23:53Those who stink will never stop stinking.
00:23:57I'll wash my hands.
00:24:00I'll do the dishes.
00:24:04The house belongs to the children.
00:24:10I'd like it to be better for you too.
00:24:27Ania.
00:24:30Henry.
00:24:36Pack up. We're going to Silesia.
00:24:39I came to take you.
00:24:41What am I going to do there?
00:24:43You're a teacher. You're more needed there than here.
00:24:46I have an apartment.
00:24:48It's modest, but it's enough for now.
00:24:53When are we leaving?
00:24:55Today.
00:24:59Ania.
00:25:03Have I confessed to you yet?
00:25:07I don't think so.
00:25:11That's too bad.
00:25:14You know I love you very much.
00:25:18If you confess now, it would be stupid.
00:25:23You have to officially ask me for my hand,
00:25:26because I'm an old-fashioned lady.
00:25:34I'm taking this old-fashioned lady with me to Silesia.
00:25:41I'm not asking anyone's opinion.
00:25:45I like it here.
00:25:49You'll see it even better there.
00:25:52I don't know how your people will accept me.
00:25:56Don't worry. You'll work.
00:25:59They'll respect you.
00:26:02As long as they like me.
00:26:32How did it go?
00:26:53Great.
00:26:56You just have to get married.
00:26:59You haven't confessed to me yet.
00:27:06Your apartments will be here for now.
00:27:10It's modest.
00:27:12We'll manage somehow.
00:27:14I'll live with my parents.
00:27:18So we won't stay here together?
00:27:21Do you understand?
00:27:23Family.
00:27:25I understand.
00:27:28Aren't you happy?
00:27:30Very.
00:27:32Come, I'll show you the bedroom and the kitchen.
00:27:35And the vase?
00:27:37It's too small for flowers.
00:27:57Good morning.
00:28:14Good morning.
00:28:19Aren't good customs obligatory here?
00:28:27This lady is a teacher.
00:28:29She came from Krakow.
00:28:31She'll be teaching here.
00:28:33She wanted to register.
00:28:35I'm sorry, but I don't understand you.
00:28:38You don't understand Polish?
00:28:41Four years after Silesia was taken over by Poland.. .
00:28:44and you can't speak Polish in the Polish office?
00:28:48Please don't shout.
00:28:50According to the Geneva Convention, both languages are allowed here.
00:28:54But this is Poland.
00:28:56You speak German, so why are you shouting?
00:29:01Polish officials should be here.
00:29:05We have nothing against that.
00:29:07Let them come and take office.
00:29:10But where do you have them?
00:29:12Those who know the German regulations obligatory here.
00:29:16And if someone can't or doesn't want to speak German,
00:29:19let him come with a translator.
00:29:22Did you hear that?
00:29:24I don't understand anything.
00:29:32Please fill out this form.
00:29:35Please have a seat, ladies and gentlemen.
00:30:02I can't hear you.
00:30:16Can you hear me?
00:30:18These people don't know anything.
00:30:21They're so small, but they play like real musicians.
00:30:24Now they don't have headphones.
00:30:27They have a big trumpet like a gramophone.
00:30:30Good morning.
00:30:32Good morning.
00:30:35This is Wanda.
00:30:38Good morning.
00:30:41Give me back my clothes.
00:31:06Mother.
00:31:13Father.
00:31:16Now I know why this study in Kraków lasted so long.
00:31:23This is auntie.
00:31:25Welcome to us.
00:31:27Wanda.
00:31:29They gave you a beautiful baptism.
00:31:32Now what?
00:31:35Paulina.
00:31:37Paulina, let's go to the kitchen.
00:31:38I'm going.
00:31:41Tomasz.
00:31:43We were singing about one Wanda from Kraków who jumped into the water.
00:31:47Or maybe it was you?
00:31:49And did she look like a worm?
00:31:52My Rose was as ugly as you.
00:31:57We were singing about her in Kraków.
00:32:06She's not a pretty girl.
00:32:08You'll have plenty of time for that after the wedding.
00:32:11Stop scaring her.
00:32:13Let her know that there's no fun with shepherds.
00:32:20This is our Silesian coach.
00:32:23And I'm your sister-in-law.
00:32:25Don't call me auntie, I'm not that old yet.
00:32:29Paulina, you can talk like that.
00:32:31You know what, Tereska, I like your vision.
00:32:37And where's your Teresa?
00:32:39You'll see.
00:32:41He's supposed to come later.
00:32:45He's a trained brother.
00:32:46Take care of him.
00:32:49He's got something.
00:32:50What?
00:32:52A head.
00:32:53What exactly?
00:32:56I'll show you.
00:33:08Your Heinel, Heniek, is a pharaoh's heir.
00:33:13You must keep him.
00:33:16When you get married,
00:33:19when the pharaoh ties his hands to the sheep's,
00:33:24you'll do this.
00:33:27His hand must be on the bottom,
00:33:30and yours on the top.
00:33:35Your whole life will be yours on the top.
00:33:39I'll do the same.
00:33:40Make yourself comfortable.
00:33:42Don't listen to him.
00:33:46You'll have to learn to drink with our eyes.
00:33:50Our Heinel is a terrible maschketa.
00:33:54He'll take a bath without it.
00:33:57Come on, sit down.
00:34:09When we get together,
00:34:12we'll talk about the wedding.
00:34:16It'll be the first wedding of shepherds in free Poland.
00:34:22It's something I don't have to tell you.
00:34:27It must be a wedding.
00:34:36They were so nice to me.
00:34:38Why were you so afraid?
00:34:41You'll see, you'll convince everyone.
00:34:45I believe you.
00:34:49What happened?
00:34:52I wish my parents were still alive.
00:35:00You're a good talker.
00:35:03You're on a warm table.
00:35:06And me?
00:35:09I can eat dry fish.
00:35:14But children...
00:35:18Couldn't Gustav finish school?
00:35:21To learn this profession?
00:35:26But for what?
00:35:30Robert, it'll change.
00:35:34The Germans are still strong.
00:35:38But we'll break them like on the front.
00:35:42I can't do much in the office.
00:35:45But I'll go up.
00:35:48I'm entrusting you.
00:35:53Just don't do what you think.
00:35:57I don't want to do it for myself.
00:36:00Tereska is brave.
00:36:02She'll help you.
00:36:20Good morning, sister.
00:36:23Oh, God.
00:36:25The duck is getting wet.
00:36:28Director Pastenreich came to see you.
00:36:31Why?
00:36:32I have no right?
00:36:35I'm sorry, but I have to finish it today.
00:36:47That's a lot of laundry.
00:36:50It was gaining weight.
00:36:52We have some.
00:36:54Robert and I, children.
00:36:56Don't worry.
00:36:58I know you don't believe in your own dirt.
00:37:03I don't believe in yours.
00:37:06Robert is like a steamer.
00:37:09He's an expert.
00:37:12He doesn't hurt himself.
00:37:14How old is he?
00:37:17It's high time you thought about it.
00:37:19Go and buy furniture.
00:37:21Go and educate your children.
00:37:23Take care of yourself.
00:37:25I will.
00:37:27But Robert should too.
00:37:30What?
00:37:31Get wet?
00:37:32He doesn't have to.
00:37:33He has to think about you, about the children.
00:37:37I want to help you.
00:37:39You are my sister.
00:37:45You can think what you want about me.
00:37:48But I didn't forget that you are from the same family.
00:37:52That's why the nest was damaged.
00:37:55Don't worry.
00:37:56One may be Polish, the other not.
00:37:58But a family is a family.
00:38:00Robert could fix it.
00:38:05What could he do?
00:38:09He could sign up for the Volksbund.
00:38:12Get out.
00:38:13Get out of here!
00:38:15I'm going to beat the shit out of you.
00:38:43I knew he was here.
00:38:47What did he want?
00:38:50Help.
00:38:54That's nice of him.
00:38:57He wanted you to sign up for the Volksbund.
00:39:01That's nice too.
00:39:05You'd get a better job.
00:39:10So what?
00:39:12You apologised politely and he left.
00:39:17Did he tell you he wanted to talk to you like a brother and sister?
00:39:22And we talked like that.
00:39:26I knew it would be like that.
00:39:29It's good that you knew.
00:39:32When he took me, you knew who you were taking.
00:39:37The pastor's daughter.
00:39:40Teresa...
00:39:43I don't want anything to go wrong between us.
00:39:46It's up to you.
00:39:49In our family there were Rostomites.
00:39:51The Hachars too.
00:39:53But I'm not one of them.
00:39:57My father always said,
00:40:00children, dry bread is better than wine in Poland.
00:40:04I say the same.
00:40:06All the pastors say the same.
00:40:08So does Jerzy.
00:40:10He's not a pastor.
00:40:13He's a pastor of the Reich.
00:40:15It's a different story.
00:40:17Dry bread.
00:40:19We can eat, but the children...
00:40:22It's up to them.
00:40:25They'll clean up the gaps.
00:40:28I don't want a guy from the Volksbund.
00:40:34What if I sign?
00:40:49Something bad will happen.
00:41:05God bless you.
00:41:22It's two o'clock.
00:41:34Jochio Ino said he'd sign.
00:41:37Very well.
00:41:42The pastor said, if he signs,
00:41:46you know...
00:41:48I agree.
00:41:50And he'll keep his word.
00:41:52I just have to be sure he's on our side.
00:41:59What else can I do?
00:42:03Do you want to leave?
00:42:06You don't have to.
00:42:08I'd like to have my own people.
00:42:13I don't care.
00:42:16You don't care.
00:42:19You don't do it out of conviction.
00:42:23I'm a simple man.
00:42:28I do what I have to do.
00:42:32I do.
00:42:34Then listen.
00:42:46What's so funny?
00:42:48You'll laugh if I tell you.
00:42:51I asked the kids what they saw.
00:42:56On Saturday,
00:42:58they saw our goat
00:43:00slaughtering a rooster.
00:43:03Isn't it funny?
00:43:05You gave them yours.
00:43:07No. Why?
00:43:09So many mistakes.
00:43:11But fewer and fewer.
00:43:13I'm glad to see I'm useful.
00:43:16See?
00:43:18Didn't I tell you?
00:43:20Sit down. I'll be done soon.
00:43:24I'll help you.
00:43:54I'd like to speak to Mr. Henryk Pasternik.
00:44:01Do you know Henryk Pasternik?
00:44:04Yes, I do.
00:44:06He's a good man.
00:44:08He's a good man.
00:44:10He's a good man.
00:44:12He's a good man.
00:44:14He's a good man.
00:44:16He's a good man.
00:44:18He's a good man.
00:44:22Are you Henryk?
00:44:24Yes, I am.
00:44:26Jerzy here.
00:44:29Good, good.
00:44:31I'm sorry.
00:44:33Listen, brother.
00:44:35I'd like to talk to you.
00:44:38I think it's important.
00:44:41For you.
00:44:43Come to us.
00:44:47You'll find out.
00:44:51Let's say at 5.
00:44:54OK?
00:44:56We'll be waiting.
00:44:58Bye.
00:45:21Who should I report to?
00:45:23A guest.
00:45:30Good day.
00:45:32Welcome.
00:45:36Beautiful.
00:45:38Flowers are flowers.
00:45:40Always the same.
00:45:42But my admiration for your beauty is growing.
00:45:45You Poles have something charming about you.
00:45:49I'll call Jerzy.
00:45:51I'll bring him to you.
00:45:53Come to the living room.
00:45:56Please sit down.
00:46:06This creature in the window was a treasure hunter.
00:46:10He often shows himself to people before a disaster.
00:46:15Sometimes he disguises himself as...
00:46:18I'm sorry, Jerzy.
00:46:20Our guest is here.
00:46:31In the kingdom of the treasurer...
00:46:34when I was 16...
00:46:38in Queen Louise's mine...
00:46:40Good day, brother.
00:46:42Good day.
00:46:45Sit down.
00:46:55Why thank me?
00:46:59I mean you.
00:47:03I'm healthy.
00:47:05I have no problems.
00:47:09I heard you're getting married.
00:47:12Young marriages cost a lot.
00:47:15Everyone does.
00:47:17You could earn more.
00:47:19If what?
00:47:21If you took up a job at Belsz's.
00:47:25At Belsz's?
00:47:27Yes.
00:47:29Belsz reminded me of a conversation he had with you.
00:47:33He said he'd like to see you among his employees.
00:47:37Yes, I remember.
00:47:39But you forgot the circumstances.
00:47:47Come in.
00:48:05You speak Polish very well.
00:48:14Why thank me?
00:48:16You speak to me in a foreign language.
00:48:20Thank you. You're free to go.
00:48:23It's family business.
00:48:30But back to the point.
00:48:33You think...
00:48:35you'd be the first Pole to take up a job at Belsz's?
00:48:39No.
00:48:41But the last to take advantage of the offer.
00:48:45What's that? You have higher education.
00:48:49I'm doing a PhD.
00:48:51Yes.
00:48:53I'm interested.
00:48:55How much?
00:49:00Listen.
00:49:02You can be a Pole, a Lithuanian, whoever you want.
00:49:06But that doesn't mean you have to suffer.
00:49:09You have someone in your family who wants to help you.
00:49:13Of course, without interest.
00:49:15Out of brotherly love.
00:49:17What's that?
00:49:19Such feelings are unknown to Poles.
00:49:22You've excluded me from the family, haven't you?
00:49:25You think I'm the last one?
00:49:27Maybe not.
00:49:29You're the last one I'd accept such help from.
00:49:32Who's the last one?
00:49:34Your boss.
00:49:37So...
00:49:39you don't want to make a career?
00:49:42I will.
00:49:44But on the other hand.
00:49:47Then maybe we'll meet again.
00:49:51It's possible.
00:50:00Are you leaving already?
00:50:02Yes, goodbye.
00:50:04Helga, show the gentleman out.
00:50:11Something's wrong?
00:50:14There's nothing to talk about.
00:50:18Are you leaving?
00:50:20As you can see.
00:50:22Henryk and Wanda are coming today.
00:50:24They'll ask for a wedding.
00:50:30I won't go to the wedding.
00:50:32What a stupid thing to say.
00:50:35It's stupid, isn't it?
00:50:38But I won't go to the wedding.
00:50:41I don't want to.
00:50:43I don't want to.
00:50:45I don't want to.
00:50:48But I won't go to the wedding.
00:50:51Because you're alone like a widow?
00:50:53Maybe I'd like to stay a widow?
00:50:57Robert.
00:51:01What's wrong?
00:51:05Nothing.
00:51:10I can't afford a dowry.
00:51:13We'll do it later, when we feel better.
00:51:16It's not about the dowry.
00:51:20It's about the excuse.
00:51:24We'll talk about it later.
00:51:28I have to go now.
00:51:30I have things to do in the city.
00:51:46I have to go.
00:52:16I have to go.
00:52:24I'll get something to eat in this hut.
00:52:28Two chebureks in the cellar.
00:52:32A bottle of vodka.
00:52:34And I won't be able to say what I want.
00:52:37There's a wedding tomorrow.
00:52:40Go away now.
00:52:42Take off your dress.
00:52:44Tomorrow the whole church will stink of naphthalene.
00:52:47Don't worry about me.
00:52:49You'd better go to the cellar.
00:52:52Or you'll rot in there.
00:52:55Grandpa, the scoundrels are coming.
00:52:59Someone's coming to you.
00:53:01To me?
00:53:03Let me go!
00:53:05Who is it?
00:53:07Do you know who I am?
00:53:09How could he do such a thing to me?
00:53:12He came to my daughter from Krakow.
00:53:15He went to the butcher's.
00:53:18He left her with the child.
00:53:20He'll be back in a week.
00:53:23We'll burn his eyes.
00:53:26And his too.
00:53:32What's going on?
00:53:34Nothing.
00:53:36Who is it?
00:53:38It's none of your business.
00:53:40Go away.
00:53:42There's a wedding tomorrow.
00:54:09What's going on?
00:54:26They're not even intuitive.
00:54:33There's a wedding tomorrow.
00:54:38What's going on?
00:55:04They're not even intuitive.
00:55:08They're not even intuitive.
00:55:11How long are they going to bother me?
00:55:14All your life.
00:55:18Life is one big bother.
00:55:30This is my son.
00:55:32Gustek.
00:55:38How are you?
00:56:08How are you?
00:56:38How are you?
00:57:08How are you?
00:57:39Is your father home?
00:57:41He's asleep.
00:57:43Why didn't you go to the wedding?
00:57:47I can't dance.
00:57:58You did the right thing.
00:58:01You didn't go to the wedding.
00:58:05I don't know if it's a good thing.
00:58:10It's like a family.
00:58:13A family?
00:58:15He ruined her.
00:58:17He brought his wife from Krakow.
00:58:19What wife?
00:58:21He's leaving for Krakow too.
00:58:23He got a good job right away.
00:58:25You'll get one too.
00:58:29If I sign up for the Volksbund,
00:58:32Kateua won't forget me.
00:58:35If you bring her more money,
00:58:38she'll forgive and forget you.
00:58:40You just have to sign up.
00:58:42You can't leave without that.
00:58:46Take care.
00:58:59What's this?
00:59:01You're learning.
00:59:03What?
00:59:05How to make a poor man into a rich man.
00:59:09Put a coin on the red one.
00:59:12When I get my father,
00:59:14I'll think about you.
00:59:17I'll think about you.
00:59:20I'll think about you.
00:59:23I'll think about you.
00:59:26I'll think about you.
00:59:29You can lie down and take a breath.
00:59:37Take a breath.
00:59:39Put on your pants.
00:59:41Put on your shoes.
00:59:50Jarosław.
00:59:53Tell me what you see.
00:59:57Tell me what you see.
01:00:00Boys are burning a bonfire.
01:00:03It's not a bonfire.
01:00:06It's a campfire.
01:00:09Boys are burning a campfire.
01:00:12Say it again.
01:00:15Boys are burning a campfire.
01:00:18Now everybody.
01:00:21Three, four.
01:00:24Boys are burning a campfire.
01:00:27One more time.
01:00:30Boys are burning a campfire.
01:00:33Good.
01:00:36Remember.
01:00:38It's not a bonfire.
01:00:40It's a campfire.
01:00:42Always say it like that.
01:00:44At home, too?
01:00:47Yes.
01:00:49Why do we say it like that at home?
01:00:52As a role.
01:01:08Sit down.
01:01:12Vanad.
01:01:14Here.
01:01:17Take the boy to the office.
01:01:20His father is waiting for him there.
01:01:23What happened?
01:01:25I'll tell you later.
01:01:31Rysiu, pack your things.
01:01:34Come with me.
01:01:50Let's go.
01:02:06Who will tell me
01:02:09what the professor taught you today?
01:02:12Go ahead.
01:02:15Boys are burning a bonfire.
01:02:18What?
01:02:20Yes, a campfire.
01:02:23Good morning.
01:02:26What happened?
01:02:29Robert.
01:02:32Sir.
01:02:35It's not the first time
01:02:38that a father takes his child
01:02:41and sends it to an orphanage.
01:02:44That is, a German elementary school.
01:02:47I feel sorry for this boy.
01:02:50Besides, he's a husband's brother-in-law.
01:02:53It's not a big deal.
01:02:56He's a good boy.
01:02:59He's a good boy.
01:03:02He's a husband's brother-in-law.
01:03:05It's not a big deal.
01:03:08I'm sorry. I didn't want to offend you.
01:03:11It's a difficult problem
01:03:14if we realize that it's a son of a nephew
01:03:17and a brother-in-law of a rebel.
01:03:20It's a tragedy.
01:03:23When will we make these people real Poles?
01:03:26They are Poles.
01:03:29They were brought here for a reason.
01:03:32But why?
01:03:35Fear, bribery, blackmail.
01:03:38Or dissatisfaction.
01:03:41Dissatisfaction with what?
01:03:44He didn't fight for Poland.
01:03:47He failed to meet his expectations.
01:03:50What did he expect from Poland
01:03:53that was not fulfilled,
01:03:56that you see it only as a school?
01:03:59Ladies and gentlemen, we came here
01:04:02out of goodwill,
01:04:05not to judge these people,
01:04:08but to help them.
01:04:11This is a field of weeds, I admit.
01:04:14May we not pluck healthy plants
01:04:17from the weeds,
01:04:20which give off pollen.
01:04:50What's the matter?
01:04:53Where's Marysia and Rysiek?
01:04:56They went to sleep.
01:04:59Where to?
01:05:02To grandpa.
01:05:14Do you smoke?
01:05:17I don't know.
01:05:20They're useful.
01:05:26What did she say?
01:05:29I mean, mom.
01:05:32She was crying. Everyone was crying.
01:05:35You too?
01:05:38Yes. That dad joined the force.
01:05:41He hasn't joined yet.
01:05:44It's not like that.
01:05:47Who are you?
01:05:53I'll send Rysiek to Miderhajka.
01:06:05Gustek,
01:06:08you're no longer of any use.
01:06:11Tell me if I'm wrong.
01:06:15I don't know.
01:06:18I know dad doesn't smoke.
01:06:21I know dad wanted to smoke.
01:06:24It can't be good.
01:06:33Good morning.
01:06:36Are you the school principal?
01:06:39Yes. What's the matter?
01:06:42I'm the school principal.
01:06:45I gave birth to him, raised him,
01:06:48and I tell him what school to go to.
01:06:51Please calm down.
01:06:54I'm not a lady.
01:06:57You're spoiling him instead of teaching him.
01:07:00Are you taking him back or not?
01:07:03Of course. Come with me.
01:07:06You don't have to beat him.
01:07:09Why?
01:07:12It won't hurt him.
01:07:15Let's go.
01:07:38Who do you think you are?
01:07:41You're taking him to Miderhajka for one day
01:07:44and you think he'll get used to it?
01:07:47No, brother.
01:07:50You can't go with us.
01:07:53You can do such tricks with Poles.
01:08:12What's this?
01:08:15Mom was here.
01:08:18She told me to take her things.
01:08:21Rysia and Marysia.
01:08:24Have you lost your mind?
01:08:27Who? Him?
01:08:41Let's go.
01:08:55I have to go to Hannes.
01:09:04Where's Manzel?
01:09:07He went to Hannes.
01:09:10Did you hear what she told you?
01:09:13The boy won the lottery.
01:09:16He's far from the Polish death.
01:09:19It's my wife.
01:09:22She won't leave him.
01:09:25She can make him a widow.
01:09:28You're laughing at my wife?
01:09:32You want to judge my wife?
01:09:35You pig!
01:09:38Wait.
01:09:41Or they'll take you away.
01:09:44Help!
01:09:47He won't hear you.
01:09:50My wife is a girl.
01:09:53No, she's a decent woman.
01:09:56No, she's a decent woman.
01:10:27Rysia!
01:10:44You always said that Poland will be.
01:10:47That it's getting closer.
01:10:50Now we have it.
01:10:53So what?
01:10:56I can see that it's far.
01:10:59It is.
01:11:02It is.
01:11:05But it is.
01:11:08For whom?
01:11:11Don't worry.
01:11:14Korfantys will take care of it.
01:11:17Korfantys has forgotten about the worker.
01:11:21I'll go home with the kids.
01:11:24I'll take my father to the hospital.
01:11:27What happened?
01:11:30An accident.
01:11:33My God!
01:12:20I love you.
01:12:50THE END
