Let's get away from here.

Away from mother and father and

away from all this poverty.

Together we'll have no fear.

Look. Look.

Let's go. Let's go.

It's not possible Yango. I'll

go to jail and you to the army.

All the better! You'll get out

of jail once I finish the army.

And then we'll leave together.

But where are those two goats.

Where the hell did they go?

Yango! I agree.

I'll take you with me to Australia.

You will be very useful with what

you learned in the army.

You killed my dog very smoothly.

Tell me... What did you do

with the goats?

Of course, they were yours.

You wouldn't mind.

We'll see each other again

in Australia.

You can't even open a table?

For the love of god.

Come on now, at the same time.

Each one should pull from each side.

I'm leaving you.

Don't go far away.

I'll need you.

Here is the letter

you gave me before.

Your father writes that he agrees.

You'll get married to Despina.

He gives you his blessing,

and so do I.

You have great parents.

They raised you into what

you are today.

I wish, with all my heart,

to follow their example.

I made sacrifices for

my children too.

I ensured her future

and her husband's.

With the dowery, I'll buy you

an appartment in Thessaloniki.

See? There. Right by the rock.

She did such a thing?

Here? In front of everybody?

The amount that you know is in the bank.

You will use it in case of emergency.

Birth, sickness, god forbid, but

why am I saying all these things?

Your father have already told you.

So. Have we reached an agreement?

- Sure father.

- Then fine.

- Come on, come on.

- Oh at last.

Here is the groom.

Come here son.

I have something to tell you.

My son, the day has come that

I will also take my share

after so many years of hard work.

It's on the holy Sabbath.

I will keep on sacrificing myself

until the day you'll get

married too

to a young woman with a nice dowery

and a good upbringing, like your sister.

When you finish your studies

with my help and god's help,

you'll be a dentist.

And something else. Go inside

and inform your sister.

- But me.. But me...

- Go ahead.

Go and tell her that the engagement

will take place tomorrow.

Sweet Mary! What is this evil?

An old lady goes around naked

in the streets on broad daylight.

What is happening with this world?

And on the same day, her son,

goes on and slaughters.

Something bad is going to happen.

What did Thanos do?

You haven't heard?

When they told him that he is

not allowed to marry you,

he started slaughtering the goats.

And then his own dog.

And escaped on the mountain.

The police is after him.

They are saying he swore they

wouldn't catch him alive.
