- These rugs.

You told me "No, no, don't start weaving a

new set, you won't finish, won't finish"...

- I didn't want you to work so hard.

- But it's spring time, we need to move the loom...

Yeah, but you've worked day and night.

Yes, I did.

You worked too hard!

- But what if one of us died?

- What?

If one of us dies, what will you do?

If I die, you'll keep them.

No, I'll give them out at the burial.

How can you give so much work away?!

You work so hard and then

you give them at a funeral?

Yes, but this way people will remember you.

They'll know you made something out of your life,

something beautiful with your own hands...

- It's a good thing.

- You still die.

Whether you made carpets or not,

you still end up in the ground.

True, but it's better to be remembered

for something you've done.

People will leave the funeral

with a good impression.

We don't all die on the

same day, you know...

That's life.

- Don't you take the one below?

- Take what?

- The one below.

- I don't. I'll move it all in one piece!

Right...

TV's plug...

Leave that... And carefully take this one.

- What if this one falls on my head?

- It won't.

How do you know?

- Don't you take that one, first?

- No.

This goes first, and then the other piece

will go straight in the right place.

Wait...

I hope that one won't fall.

When I left the convent,

mother-nun gave me a loom.

It was light, unlike this giant here.

Whoever saw us carrying it,

thought we're carrying our crosses.

They didn't know what we were doing...

Let it go.

That's it.

- Have you seen that, dear?

- I did.

I did see you are the bravest.

- Good, I'm gonna lay something...

- Oh, I got so tired!

You did?

You'll rest at Easter.

Take the table.

Let's put it in its place.

Constantin, Constantin...

The neighbors will yell at us:

"Your house is on fire!"...

Oh, nonsense!

Oh, dear!

See, and you said we shouldn't clean it...

I didn't say we shouldn't.

- Is it such a big deal?

- I said we shouldn't do it now.

Not now? When then? After Easter?

I thought we'd only tidy up a little...

Ah, doggy, what are you doing?

Get out of here!

Why only fresh grass?

I brought a little for the chickens. Here!

- It's enough! Don't waste it on chickens!

- I am done.

- You gave them a lot.

- I did.

Are you saving it?

See, I put that there, so

you don't go up the attic.

Remember when you left me in the attic,

waiting with the wine wicker,

while you were telling stories to Vasile?

But, hey! It's good that

you have someone at all!

For whom would you wait to bring you down?

If it wasn't your old man?

You weren't that old back then...

- Wasn't I?

- You weren't that old. You were a bit...
