RHYTHM OF A CRIME
(By the novel "Good Spirit of Zagreb")
Starring
Directed by
This is my house.
It is located in Trnje,
in 87 Paromlinska street.
It was built by my granddad
who was a railwayman, back in 1909.
It was where my father was born,
and so was I.
But we haven't been living here permanently.
My father was a teacher.
I've spent most of my childhood in Dalmatia,
and when I got back to
my old house at the age of 17,
boys from the hood kept calling me
"Dalmo" for a while.
I'm a loner. I teach history and geography
at elementary school nearby.
Circumstancially, I never got married,
and I wouldn't find easy to move away from here
since the house, like the rest of
this street, is to be demolished soon.
I haven't been disturbed
For quite some time, I wasn't
What do I need, anyway?
I begun serious thinking about the house,
my departing and the whole neighborhood
One day, he just rang my doorbell.
Good day.
- Good day!
I was looking for you already.
You may heard of it.
Neighbors just told me!
Please, come in.
We can do it like this.
I wouldn't like to bother you.
I have a plea for you.
- For me?
Please, come in!
Let's not stand here.
It's maybe inadequate.
The thing is delicate.
They're not dangerous, aren't they?
No... please come.
Sit, please.
You just speak.
I don't know where to start.
Excuse me... Have we met before?
No. I wouldn't say so.
You see, this is a bit...
Would you rent me a room?
Me?
- Yes.
Have somebody send you to me?
It's a mistake, then.
No, I come by myself.
I heard in the neighborhood
that you're a loner.
I'm a loner, too.
I was living in Trenjevka,
Gorjanska street.
It's a very similar street to this one.
So I thought...
I know Gorjanska street!
You see, I was living there for
two years, and now I got fired.
Before that, I was living here
in Trnje for 30 years.
I know every house and street.
I kept knocking at the doors around to ask.
I'm sentimentally attached to this area.
So I decided to try my luck
in Paromlinska street.
So, this is how you came to me?
People decide to rent their room
after they've been suggested to do so.
I thought you were the one.
I don't know. You have confused me.
Maybe I should tell you
something about myself?
I'm retired for disability.
I was a land surveyor.
I could pay as much as you want.
I can make money in another way.
Leave it, that's not...
I'm peaceful, too. I don't
play cards or bring women home.
I don't even drink or smoke.
I'm mostly out, I even eat there.
- That's ok, but I don't know...
It is so suddenly. Understand me,
I can't just do it right away.
You don't have to decide immediately.
I'll come in a day or two.
Ok?
- I don't know...
Well, day or two, that would be fine.
Good.
So, there is a chance, eh?
See you in a couple of days, then.
I won't bother you anymore.
Bye!
You don't have to leave right off!
You just think over.
Help yourself.
- Thanks.
Please, be careful with this.
It's fragile.
Would you mind?
- Thanks.
It's nothing special.
I will show you, don't worry.
I told you I was a land surveyor.
This here is a theodolite.
I look through this
every once in a while.
I only need to keep it unnoticed.
Why? - I don't want them to
think I'm some kind of a spy.
Have I shown you the bathroom?
- No.
It's dilapidated, as you see.
There's no need to repair it now.
You won't have to walk through my room.
Be sure that you lock yourself
when you use the bathroom,
they may break in.
I haven't told you...
Do you know that this house is
going to be torn down in a month?
Of course I do.
Why did you insist to live here, then?
Sentimentality and other things.
I told you.
When this happens, I'll manage
myself somewhere else.
You won't have any troubles with me.
I admit that I was worried at start
how would I get used to another
but Fabian was so quiet and unnoticeable
that I even felt unpleasant.
As if I asked this from him.
I haven't seen him for days.
Yes?
Good...
How do you do.
A coffee, maybe?
If you don't mind.
Ok. Come on in.
You're puzzled about all this, right?
About my charts.
Yes. What is it?
I'm into statistics, you know.
Only as a hobby.
I may show you sometimes, if you want.
Good morning.
- Good morning.
Nice day.
And you already got up.
- I haven't even slept.
Why, are you suffer from insomnia?
I was working until a minute ago.
You know how it is.
It's better not to leave it for tomorrow.
Tomorrow, one may get a toothache,
or a headache... The years are later, too.
And then it's late for ideas.
You've been working with statistics, right?
- Yes.
You said it's more like a hobby to you,
to kill your time.
Right, but if you're forced to do this,
it wouldn't go that easy.
But if one is having fun with this and
puts all his heart and soul into it,
he works like he's getting
the highest paycheck.
Besides, it's kind of statistics
I was checking the yesterday's papers.
How about a coffee?
- Thanks, I don't drink it early.
What kind of newspapers?
I wouldn't want to be mysterious to you,
but otherwise, if I tell you,
you may think I'm a bit...
You know.
Why not? People do
