Luckily we have water, at

least here in the office.

Last time we had a

heat wave like this...

Drink some.

You know your dad, when he was a

little boy, he stole our cherries?

Well, look, Elika.

We want to sell you the house, of course.

It's in our interest.

I see that your Tom signed

the purchase agreement, but...

But now... How are you

going to pay for it?

I have insurance. Once it's

settled, I'll pay it all at once.

Yes, but the right thing would be

to wait until it's all settled.

I know, Mr. Mayor, but this

is a new beginning for us.

Anetka and I thought that

it'd be nice to move here

where her dad grew up.

Well, in the village we've

helped each other since forever.

And Tom...

He even stole our apricots.

Here's my stamp of approval.

THE NOONDAY WITCH

I've registered

your address there.

- Thanks. You didn't have to do that.

- No problem. Anything for Tom.

Though, why did he pick

this place for you?

For that money you could've

bought a house in the village.

Not far from us,

by the cemetery.

- We don't want to live in a cemetery.

- Right.

Who would want to live

in a cemetery, right?

- This is where I'll go to school?

- You want to go to school?

- You still have a month's vacation.

- No, not now! In September.

Then yes.

- Where dad went to school?

- Yup.

- When is dad coming to be with us?

- Soon, don't worry.

I don't like how

he's always away.

Dude!

- You're driving like you stole us!

- Sure I'd steal you, you treasure.

We had so much fun with Tom!

Though he was

always kinda weird.

I've hooked up the lines for you.

Gas and electricity should be on.

- Thanks. You didn't have to do that.

- No problem. Anything for Tom.

But I gotta tell you, that

house isn't a mansion.

If you need anything done,

now that you're alone...

If you need help with

anything, just tell me.

Where are you going, Anetka?

Are you thirsty?

You thirsty?

- You still have water?

- Yup.

We've had none since last week. I

may come by to take a shower, eh?

I'll do it, after

I gulp it down.

Where do you want it?

In the back.

Anetka? Have you seen her?

Anetka, I've been looking

for you everywhere.

I'm sorry.

- What are you doing?

- Cleaning up.

- Why here?

- It's for dad.

When he comes, it'll

make him happy.

There was a letter for you. I hid

it so the girl wouldn't find it.

Could you give me a hand?

Sure. From the

authorities I guess.

Thank you, Mr. Polek.

It's Zdenk. Since forever.

We ain't strangers.

Once we settle in, Anetka and

I would like to give a party.

I hope you and your

wife will come.

Sure. My wife is busy, but

I can stop by anytime.

For coffee or to fix something.

Thank you.

They're waiting for you.

- So see you around.

- Goodbye.

What is it?

- A letter.

- From who?

How come you're not sleeping?

Well? First night

in a new house.

- How do you like it here?

- I do. And you?

I like it.

Bang, bang, sounded in the room, and

little Johnny hid behind the hearth.

Bang, bang, sounded again,

this time even louder.

Little Johnny drew aside a curtain

and looked behind the door...

- Mom?

- Yes?

- Are we going to have a party?

- We will.

As soon as we settle in a bit.

- Will dad be here for the party?

- I don't know.

- When is he coming?

- Soon.

Will you argue again?

You can't argue at a party.

Parties are fun.

We'll never argue again.

Want to finish the story?

I know what happens. Sun takes

him away but Moon saves him.

Want to sleep in my bed?

Not even tonight?

The first night?

You're a brave girl.

My curious kitty.

You're looking at the

pictures without me?

I was just looking

for something.

G'night.

I'm here only because it's the

first night and dad isn't here.

- So you won't be here alone.

- Okay.

Mom, come outside.

Watch Movies & Series

imon, those are new shoes.

Wow, stop bringing more

stuff, there's no room.

But it's yummy, no doubt.

Thanks. Anetka and I did our

best, I'm happy you like it.

I'm happy you welcomed

Anetka and me like this.

We've been here for a couple weeks

now, this is a new beginning for us.

We appreciate everything you do for us.

Thank you.

That was nice speech! Beautiful.

Don't see that very often.

Da here could learn from you. The

cooking and the speaking. Da!

Elika, those were

really nice words.

We live near the church.

You can't miss it, girl.

I mean... ma'am. Let's

cut the formalities.

I mean we're not neighbors, there

ain't any here. What do you say?

- I'd love to. Elika.

- Da.

So, come by anytime.

Bring Anetka too, okay?

And now I want to know how

you manage all this alone.

Polkov, being nosy again?

Snooping around, eh?

Careful, Elika. When she grips

on something, she doesn't let go.

Watch it! Careful, Mayor, so

your wife doesn't see it.

- You have a wife?

- Yes.

- Why didn't she come with you?

- She did.

And where is she?

Don't lie!

What are you doing?

Where are you manners?

She tripped me.

You stay here and don't move!

I'll deal with it at home.

- He said dad won't come back.

- He will, don't worry.

Aneka!

This is Elika, I've

told you about her.

Tom' wife, remember?

Tom, who stole our cherries.

Then he grew up and

moved to the city,

where he met Elika and they have

this beautiful little princess.

Come say hello. You can do it.

I'm Elika.

I am happy you came, Mrs.

Mrzov.

Have you had anything to eat?
