She comes and takes.

- Who comes and takes?

- She takes a child, won't return it.

Please leave.

- No, listen to me.

- Leave me alone!

"Give that child here," she'll say

and then you'll be like me. Forever.

Enough!

Don't worry, little girl.

- You'll find each other.

- Out! Go!

Don't worry.

Nobody will come, nobody

will take you away from me.

I wouldn't give you to

anyone in the whole world.

You're my everything, Kitty.

Together we can do it.

You and I.

And dad.

Mom, I don't want to stay here.

Why can't I go with you?

Because you just can't, dear.

I'll be back in the evening, and

we'll make dinner together, okay?

- Mom, I want to go with you.

- You can't, Aneta! You hear me?

It's just for a few hours.

I'll be back soon.

Wait here. Be a good girl

and don't go anywhere.

Not to the fence, not behind

it, not in the field.

Especially not the

field, you hear me?

I have to go. Mr. Polek

will be here soon.

Your mom's gone?

I see.

Maybe you can draw something.

And I'll take a nap.

Maybe.

Hey, come here!

Come, I'll show you something.

You'll see I didn't lie.

- I can't.

- It's close, just across the field.

Come on.

- What is it?

- Shhh!

Run!

Aneta, eat.

You don't want it?

You like grits, don't you?

Aneta, eat, damn it!

- I don't want it.

- So you'll go to bed hungry.

- So what? I don't care.

- Don't talk like that!

- I want to be with dad.

- Go! Go to bed.

Anetka, come finish it.

Aneta!

I thought you were gone.

- What are you doing here?

- I wanted to talk to you.

About what? Does your

husband know you're here?

- No. He doesn't believe.

- Believe what?

That she's here. That she

comes back again and again.

She's close, Elika.

I was alone then. And

the heat, Elika.

- I have to be with Anetka.

- Cry. Cry together.

She comes, takes and

won't give back.

Goodbye.

There's still time, Elika.

Aneta?

Aneta, what is it?

Nothing!

Aneta, open up!

- Come out, now!

- I'm not coming out.

- Why not?

- I'm scared here without dad.

Come out! Aneta!

Ouch!

- Aneta, are you going to bed now?

- Yup.

Want to hear a bedtime story?

Yup.

Once upon a time in a place

far, far away, was a kingdom

where, in the Eastern Land's vast

fields, lived little Johnny.

He didn't have a

mommy or daddy...

One day, when the sun beat

down even more than usual,

little Johnny decided to go

further than he often did,

to a place he had

never been before.

Anetka?

Anetka, I want to

tell you something.

Good evening, Elika.

Good evening. Is your wife home?

She's sleeping.

Could you please tell

her that we don't want

her to come visit us? Could

you please tell her that?

Elika...

Come in. Please.
