She watched the tape | and finally understood...

...what had happened to me before.

She remembered how bad | I had looked then.

She noticed a date on the screen | and simply associated facts.

She was crying when I came home.

"How could you do this to me? | Why did you lie to me?"...and so on.

My father had a different attitude | because he is a man.

I'm not sure they ever | got used to it.

Every time I go somewhere,

my mother tells me to be careful.

I try not to talk about it to her.

...If I go out, I just say we go to | a match and stuff...

But I don't tell her about the brawls.

Do you love your parents, | your mother?

Yeah. I do.

- Why do you fight? What for? | - For pleasure. It's very relaxing.

You know, some like Mc Donald,

others watch porn movies | and feel pleasure.

I take pleasure from putting | on boxing gloves

or fighting on the ground.

This is my own pleasure. | And a break from reality.

It's an extreme form of a fight sport. | Similarly, you can ski for recreation...

...or jump on a parachute when | skiing in high mountains.

Every discipline has it.

Generally, people look for something | more challenging or choose simple things.

I do enjoy it.

It's not that I take pleasure | from kicking someone's ass...

It turns me on. | And it's a way to relieve stress.

You work several hours a day... | ...and you can let off some steam.

You sweat, give yourself | a physical strain...

...and, instead of being mean to | you family, you start feeling better.

Yet, some guys become | permanently disabled...

I'm not going to talk about | in front of the camera, Sylwester.

Let's just say that a few guys | were injured at one time or another.

But you can experience | the same on the street.

You can be beaten by some freak... | ...with a bottle or a bat.

It's just an example, you know.

But this may happen.

You don't regard yourself a bandit, | as people think hooligans...

No.

Why should we show it publicly? | We're not doing it for anyone...

...But you make films | and take pictures...

Yeah, but we do it only | for us-just to have a keepsake.

You take these pictures, right?

I can't afford a decent equipment

but I'm trying to make | it look professional.

Maybe in a few years we'll show it | to our kids or something.

Either it will be normal then,

or they'll be shocked to see | what we used to do.

When sixty people are fighting, | it's pretty hard to see everyone.

But the camera catches everything.

And we had cases when | guys proved weak.

Someone was kicking their friend | on the ground

and they were turning | their back...

Anyway, it would be nice to | watch it someday.

Just to see who we were.
