I don't mind.

Hello.

Hello.

I'm not used to the stove.

I'm helping mow

Juriga's meadow tomorrow.

Then they'll help us with the floor.

Morning.

- Pretty here, huh?

- You're right about that.

Police are scarce around here.

The Germans use a back road.

So I heard.

You're safe here.

And there's no reason to be afraid of us.

I asked myself,

"Where'd she find that old goat?"

He's lived alone for years.

Then one day all those logs fall on him,

near kill him...

and he comes back with a young girl...

who doesn't suit him at all.

I met Joza at the hospital.

A person has to wonder

what a young city thing...

would see in such an old goat.

What's there to like?

Various things come to mind:

Maybe she doesn't like him,

just needs a place to hide.

Someplace far away

where no one will find her.

Get your hands off me, you pig!

Oh, don't worry.

We'll have more chances to dance.

Lunch!

- Afternoon.

- Afternoon.

Sit.

Him, too.

Enjoy the meal.

I broke the lamp.

It doesn't matter. I'll tell young Juriga.

He'll bring another

from dovHut' tomorrow.

You'll like it.

You'll see.

Don't cry.

You'll have a new one tomorrow, Hanulka.

- Shouldn't I call you that?

- You can.

That lamp doesn't matter.

You're not mad, Joza?

I brought you some

books from dovHut'.

The priest said you might like them...

that they might help with boredom.

So that's your plan.

If I read, I won't touch anything. Thanks.

Azor, stay.

Evening, Mr. Janda.

May we come in?

- What's your business?

- I need to sort out some papers.

- God keep us.

- Evening.

Sorry to disturb you, ma'am.

Have a seat.

Bring drinks for the guests.

We have to register you, ma'am.

I'll need to see your papers.

Fill this out:

Address, name, age.

Born 1924?

If you were single,

you'd have gone to work in the Reich, eh?

Too bad we didn't meet her

before Mr. Janda did.

Any domestic animals?

Cross it out then.

Here's a voucher for ration coupons.

And we're all through.

Sign it, please.

Respect the blackout. No lights at night.

Good night.

Farewell.

I'll teach you how to do it.

Good afternoon.

Hello, kids.

- Hello, Principal.

- Hello.

What can I get you? Run out of honey?

No.

I just wanted to ask...

Do you know your Helenka

is friends with Lipka?

Of course, everyone knows.

- You've given your permission?

- I haven't forbidden her.

He's not a good influence.

Helenka is an intelligent child.

She could already start school.

But Lipka is a loser, a hoodlum.

He grew up fatherless,

and his stepfather drinks.

- Helenka has no father, either.

- Yes, but she's sensitive.

But under Lipka's influence...

she's obstinate and standoffish.
