Beyond the Hills Page #3

- Pray.

Wait here a moment.

- Daddy.

- Yes.

- I came with Alina.

- Just a moment.

He comes right away.

- Why are we not allowed trousers at the confession?

- It's not forbidden, it's just not nice.

- Do I have to kiss his hand?

- Don't worry, the priest will tell you what you have to do.

- What does he do in there?

- He's preparing.

- They say that the priest has a miraculous

icon in the altar. - Does he?

And if you pray at it,

it makes any wish come true?

Just tell everything, ok?

How was it?

What's wrong?

You've got a fever.

Come lay down a little.

Come on.

- Are you ready? Come on, it's getting late.

- I'm coming.

You'd better stay and

rest and I'll go alone. OK?

- And the diploma?

- Leave it with me. I'll get it. Come on, go.

- Are you coming?

- I'm coming.

- Call Vali, they came with the food.

- Hi, how are you?

- Fine.

- How are you, Mother Superior?

- God bless.

- How are you, Camelia?

- I'm fine.

Come on, let's take this food.

Mother Superior, did you

speak to the priest?

I did. The priest would receive you open-hearted,

but there's no place for the moment.

Maybe if Mother Pahonia leaves,

we'll see then.

I have to leave the

place here next month.

I don't know... can't you speak to the manager

to allow you to stay a little longer?

It's already a year since I exceeded

the legal age and she can't do it any more.

When we finish the new cells

we'll receive new people.

- When would that be? - It depends how

much money we can raise, but for the moment...

Why, does Mother Pahonia want to go?

She says she doesn't, but I saw

her talking with her husband...

I think she'll go back home.

Didn't she say he beats her up?

He beats her up, he doesn't...

finally he's her husband, isn't he?

And if she goes, will the

priest accept me?

I think so, because there's work

to be done for twice our number.

As for work I don't complain, but money...

if they ask me... I have none...

God forbid, why do you think the priest

would ask for money from you?

You're from the orphanage,

the priest knows that.

How's Valentin?

- They took his hand out of plaster, tomorrow

he comes home from hospital. - Really?

I put a cake he likes there,

don't forget to give it to him, ok?

I will, Mother, don't worry.

- Mommy, I'll stay a little longer, I have to

get the papers for Alina. - Fine. Go with God.

- Bless me.

- God bless you.

Watch out for the mud.

- Is Alina here?

- Yes.

- Is her brother here?

- No, he went to work at a laundry on Decebal.

- Did you speak to Mrs. Form Master like I asked you?

- No, her husband is in the hospital, he's ill.

- What, you missed the orphanage?

- No...

- Mother, will you pay us a visit?
