THE HIGH SUN:

Why did you stop?

That was enough.

Go on, play.

Go on.

- No.

What do you mean, no?

- Pay me.

Stop kicking me,

I'll throw you into the sea.

You won't play?

Will you play?

How about now?

Someone will see you, you crazy?

- There's no one.

Go on.

Will you play?

- You're totally crazy!

You're tickling me!

Let me go!

I can't believe we're going.

You can't, huh?

What did I tell you?

- What did I tell you?

What did I tell you?

Let's go swimming.

That's for little girls.

- Come on...

I'll roll one with Boo.

- Look how beautiful it is.

Come, let's go!

You lazy ass.

Lazy ass!

Making out, eh?

- Guilty as charged... One has to.

Just keep on doing it.

Traitors.

What?

Do it where you plan to elope.

- We will, don't you worry.

You arranged everything?

- I have.

Waiting tables from Friday on.

- You?!

Sure.

Screw the caf that takes you.

Like you're gonna teach me?

- My life's too short for that.

A born head waiter you are...

I plan to play a bit too.

- Better stick to waiting.

Less damage that way.

When are we leaving?

Tomorrow, after the gig.

- I'll be waiting on the side.

You're a real...

Why not take me too?

I can be your ace in the hole.

We're not emigrating,

it's just Zagreb!

What am I gonna do here,

smoke with the sheep?

I'll send for you, relax.

- You'd better.

Damn...

It's kind of beautiful.

You will see,

you're gonna miss it.

Screw a summer like this.

Take it easy, Boo.

F***ers...

JELENA AND IVAN, 1991

Gotta go,

my folks will kill me.

Hey, kid, come drink with us.

- Let's grab a beer.

Where have you been?

- At the beach.

All this time?

- Mom...

Well, what's going on

down there?

Nothing.

Stop it.

Stop doing that now!

- Saa!

What did I say?

Not to go down there!

Get off of me!

Want to die before your time?!

- What do you care?!

Stop it you two!

- You cork it!

Can't you see what's been cooking?

You dumb fool.

All because the likes of you.

The likes of me...

You f***ing...

Damn you!

Leave her!

She's f***ing

that oaf from their side!

I'm the laughing stock

of the village.

Get away from me!

- Stop it, you two!

You'd both get yours

if only Dad were alive!

Jelena! Go to your room!

- Mom!

Go to your room!

- Listen to your mother!

Go on, eat.

Have you seen him?

No?

Have you seen him?

Where are you off to, granny?

Oh, f***...

It's show time, folks!

- Shut up, you...

Where have you been?

- Why are you outside?

You didn't come to school yesterday.

I was alone in the bench.

- Pipe it down a bit, huh?

They're recruiting

all the young ones.

Got scared they'd drafted you.

- You can see they didn't.

They say, Hitler is moving his army

again. There may be another war.

What do you mean Hitler?!

- He sure is!

Evil is here!

- Listen to your granny, Ivan.

She's way more wiser than you.

- You keep out of it.

I was alone at school. It's different

than when you're with me.

Do tell him, granny.

He got too close to that lot yonder.

Mane!

Cool it!

Will you stop it?

- You want me to stop?

They're blocking roads,

planting mines

while you're f***ing

in their houses.

Let it go.

Let's go home, Granny.

What, am I wrong?

If those devils come,

you run for the mountains.

No one's coming, Granny.

- They are. Hush you.

You just take it to the mountains

and go as deep as you can.

And I'll find you there.

Them devils won't stop us

from dancing.

And don't you worry,

I won't let anyone sit

in the bench with me at school.

I'll keep it for you.

- Way to go, Granny.

Mother asked me

about us today.

I told her nothing!

Sleep now, Granny.

Be very careful, Ivan.

Promise Granny you will be.

I promise, Granny.

- Good...

Sleep now.

This too...

Saa will go nuts

when he finds out.

We will be in the city by then.

- Don't be mad with him, he's lost.

Who asked that from him? You?

No.

- I know you didn't.

He got drafted.

Him in the army.

Damn, he's always hated it.

They're drafting everybody,

why avoid him? He has to.

You don't have to do anything.

Jut like I don't have to stay here.

Don't be mad at him.

- I'm not.

I'm sorry for him.

- Talk too him. He's your brother.

Take that jacket.

- It's summer, Mom.

That means nothing.

This is clean.

Couldn't you make it thinner?

So you've decided, right?

I called Aunty, too.

Did she disapprove?

Disapprove?

She invited me in the first place.

I'll be giving her money,

Jelena will find a job.

I swear, this isn't

lacking salt either.

Do you know what I promised

your mother on her death bed?

I promised her I'd be looking

after you and Granny.

Yes, I know.

So very nice of you.

- Nice my ass.

Who could look after you?

You're leaving with that girl,

Granny's getting nuttier

with every day

and I can't tie up

all the loose ends.

Yeah, you just laugh.

If your late mother knew

you're tied up with one of theirs,

she'd be turning in her grave.

She'd be happy!

Can't you see what's been

going on, you oaf?

That's why we're running away.

To be left alone.

Yeah, and f*** me!

Not for long, till it calms down.

- It will my ass!

Everybody's gone crazy!

Do you need money?

It wouldn't do any harm

for the first day.

Dad, hey... don't worry.

I'll be back soon, Mom.

Homemade wine.

Hey! Ready?

- I sure am.

How about a beer?

- Give me one.

Listen...

You could put in a good word

for me to the girls in the city.
