Why are they teasing her?

She's from elary. That's why.

Thank you.

You scared me.

You've acted very dangerously.

SIvek wouldn't have sent me here

if he'd known.

He's dead.

The Gestapo came for him.

And if they catch you, they'll execute

everyone who helped you, including me.

I'm taking you back.

You'll go to elary, marry Janda...

and I won't hear about you again.

A fairy saved Joza Janda. I saw her.

No such thing as fairies.

A plane!

German. Flying in the clouds.

And she is too a fairy.

You're just a stuck-up brat!

For the last time...

who stole boards from Burda's fence?

Confession eases the soul.

Lipka, come with me to my office.

If he beats you again,

bite another one of his fingers.

The cane solves nothing.

dovHut' is in a rut

Chicken sh*t, stinky butt

Kids from the Hut'

Like to shake their butt

Better hope Lipka doesn't

wring your necks!

Are you happy?

Trying our patience?

You think it's worth the beating,

don't you?

Beat it.

Get out of my sight.

Out!

- You got punished?

- Not today.

Nice of the principal to let you off.

He didn't. When he beats me,

he lets me off.

You're with Joza? Joza from the sawmill?

Yeah, that's right.

I assumed you knew

you couldn't just waltz around like this.

I don't want to see you outside,

or talking to the children.

Children can't keep secrets,

and they're my responsibility.

Take your things back inside

and wait till they come for you.

Library

Come in.

- Praise Jesus.

- Forever and a day.

Can't sleep, either?

I can't sleep since she's been here.

- What do you want?

- I came to thank you for Lipka.

It was nothing.

You maintain strong discipline.

The last principal couldn't compare.

But that's the only thing

I've accomplished with the cane.

Most of the kids here

are headed for the gallows.

That's where we're mistaken.

A child's soul is a flower bud.

Then what hemlock did Lipka bloom from?

Though he'll be gone soon,

I'm still telling his stepfather.

Don't.

Save your compassion

for those who need it.

His stepfather will kill him.

What about your conscience then?

What makes you think I have one?

Please rethink this.

I'm applying for a transfer.

Come in.

Lord keep us.

Sorry to disturb you.

I'd like to speak to the priest.

- Have you come for her?

- Yes, Principal.

Let's go outside.

Thanks for everything.

There's not much furniture,

but I'll make some soon.

There's a kitchen, bedroom,

front room, shed.

Lucka lives up there, ena next to her.

And Juriga lives down below.

Where's the yard?

Everywhere.

There's no electricity,

but you'll get used to it.

Have a seat.

I have to take the horse back to the mill.

It'll be warm soon.
