Not bad, our lad.

Do you know Szymon Skiba?

He lives around here.

Skiba? No.

But ask Marek at the bar.

He knows everyone. Ask him.

- He's not here.

- When's he back?

- They took him to the hospital with...

- When's he back?

Tomorrow. Or later...

God willing.

Maybe he's hiding from us.

- Cold.

- What?

Cold.

Where is He?

Which one do you want?

Neither.

Come on, you won't stop being a nun.

Your Jesus didn't hide

in a cave with books...

But went out into the world.

I'm not going anywhere.

What?

I'm not going anywhere.

Fine, I'll have fun on my own.

C'est la vie.

I thought we were here

because of my parents.

We are.

I loved Ra very much.

You are so similar.

I won't let you waste your life.

Of course...

I'm a slut and you're a little saint.

This Jesus of yours adored people like me.

Take Mary Magdalen...

Let's have a read.

What a beast came out.

What was that you played?

Naima by Coltrane. Did you like it?

Very much.

You're a funny couple.

My aunt and me?

I know.

We only met two days ago.

Where are you from?

From a village. Not far from here.

But I was raised in a convent.

And now I'm Jewish, too.

And I've got some gypsy in me.

So why are you here?

I'm looking for a man who knew my parents.

Thank you.

He's probably still in the hospital.

I'll wait downstairs.

Let's go.

Remember me?

You knew the Lebensteins during the war.

We'd like to know where they're buried.

I'm their daughter.

Ra.

I'm Ida.

They were...

Good people...

I hid them in the woods...

Fed them...

And then you killed them.

Was he very scared?

Who?

The boy.

How did you do it?

With an axe?

I left him with Ra...

And went to fight...

For God knows what.

I hardly knew him.

Praise be to God.

Leave my father alone,

let him die in peace.

Nobody can prove anything anyway.

What happened, happened.

What do you want?

You give up claims to the house

and I'll show you where they're buried...

And you leave us in peace.

Deal?

Yes.

Good.

See you tomorrow.

I know I can trust you, sister.

So?

Did you find that man?

Yes.

What now?

You're going back to the institution?

You mean the convent? Yes.

For long?

Forever.

I'm taking my vows next week.

And you?

I'm mainly trying to avoid the army.

And vows too.

You've no idea of the effect

you have, do you?

And me?

Why am I not here?

You were tiny...

No one would know you were Jewish.

I took you to the priest

and left you there.

The boy was dark and circumcised.

It wasn't father...

I killed them.

We'll go to Lublin.

We have a family grave there.

If that graveyard still exists.

We should find a priest.

You mean a rabbi.

Don't drink now.

It's a long way, I'll sober up.
