- He's gone already.

Let me go.

- Carefully, I'll help you...

- I can do it myself.

It would be a pity to ruin such hair.

If I had a locket,

I'd take one as a souvenir.

You don't even know,

how much you've influenced my life.

I'll be back soon.

Yes, sir.

We've got a new order, Jerzy.

Everything is falling through.

We have to stay,

let through the infantry

and with a handful of uhlans

cover the retreat.

- How long are we going to stay?

- Until evening.

- Until Germans press us.

- Great.

Are you mad?

We'll bury the captain.

The horses will rest.

Wake up! I'd show you on the map

where Germans broke through.

They're surrounding us!

Don't cry.

Don't be afraid, we're staying.

- Is this your room?

- Yes.

Let me introduce myself.

Cadet Jerzy Grabowski.

You've changed much since

the time you were at school.

We don't need this horse here!

It's my horse Lotna.

Look! It's beautiful!

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

Lieutenant Wodnicki.

My...

fiancee.

Lieutenant!

Congratulations. We need to prepare

the wedding.

Everythings is ready

for the funeral.

You haven't changed at all.

At all!

- I'm going now.

- I won't let you go.

It's still bright. We'll be on time.

I can't.

I haven't been at home since morning.

Who knows what will happen tomorrow?

I want to tell you something.

Be quiet.

- We'll hide.

- Where?

- In the attic.

- No.

Don't be afraid.

Where will you go now?

Come, you'll make it home.

Go first.

You go first.

Jerzy?

Jerzy!

Quiet.

Watch out.

Bend down.

- Come.

- I can't see anything here.

There should be leaves here.

Or hay.

What's here?

Prudent farmers.

Wood will absorb the scent.

Don't be afraid,

these are empty boxes.

You see? Sit down here.

Look, how good they are.

Thank you.

Look... You have grey hair.

- Can you see it?

- It's a cobweb.

Jerzy, sit still.

Jurek!

Don't stand up.

Where's cadet?

- He's been very busy today.

- He hasn't shown since dinner.

Boys... go to sleep.

We're not sleepy, lieutenant.

Jurek!

- Somebody's calling your name.

- It's lieutenant. Let him seek.

- He suspects something.

- So what?

I just said it like that.

Do you remember

how cool you were towards me?

Did you really think

that I'm upset because of the floor?

You seemed taller

and more serious then.

- A real teacher.

- You also looked like a real uhlan.

Is it good or bad?

With this ring I thee wed

and pledge thee my troth.

Let it be a sign

of heavenly blessing.

Join your hands.

I, Jerzy... take thee...

Ewa... for my wife.

You can kiss.

- A lot of happiness.

- Thank you.

Ewa!

Look how happy I am.

You and this horse.

Strong.

As if Jesus

walked through your throat.
