Time of the Gypsies a love movie
Script
You've ruined my life. Look, what you've done to me.
I'll take of my shoe and crush your bonce!
They want to mess up my life,
prick my brain with injections.
I'm not mad to accept that.
They order me to eat powders, to swallow electric bulbs.
They've bind my soul and lead it like a bear.
I am not Bozana the she-bear.
They want my wings.
What will my spirit do without wings? My spirit flies.
She cries, sings or laughs, when she wants to.
When God lived down here,
he couldn't get along with us Gypsies,
so he had to go up there. It's not my fault.
Playing
Propagate, procreate.
God help me.
You would beat me even if you threw them the wrong way.
Everything I earned has gone.
If only i had a person in front of me, i wouldn't be sorry about it.
But no, he's a swine.
He takes and he smiles.
God, what have I done to you?
I'll give it all. I'll even sell my house if i need to.
Just as long as I beat him.
I'll work for 20 years, if that's my destiny.
My fate will change,
and I'll have more luck.
If you would help me once more, God.
Did you get drunk? Do you want to ruin my wedding?
Speak! What should I do now?

God, for once, help me.
The house will be white like milk.
I must tidy up my house,
so my leg sees a white God.
Here, take the money.
Thank you for healing my husband.
Take the turkey for luck.
I don't charge for healing.
A little more, a little more.
Eat.
Don't cry Daca, I beg you.
Perhan, look what i've brought you.
Is it mine? - Only yours.
You obey me. You're grandma's sweetheart.
Mine alone? -Yours!
You're a good person, you work, you take care of your sister.
Danira, look. -I'll give you my soul if you're a good boy.
Whose bird is this? - Perhan's. He works.
You give everything you get to Perhan.
He's a good boy. -You give Perhan everything, but nothing to me.
I'm not a war criminal! Don't you see?
Don't act stupid. - I'll lose my mind.
Perhan this, Perhan that! Eveything only to Perhan!
You and your Perhan can live in Yugoslavia,
i'm going to Germany. I'm leaving! Get it?
Go away! What have you done to me?
You've disgraced me! - Why are you beating me?
Don't curse me, mother!
Woman, where is that actor of yours?
Look, what he did to my daughter.
Do you have any problems, old woman?
I'll put out his eyes! I'll kill him!
Don't push me away, old woman.
Where is your son? Call him immediately.
Call him! - Sit, calm down.
I won't sit. I want you to call your son.
Find him at once. - You chat a lot.
He pumped up my daughter, and she's not even 11 years old.
Find him at once! He disgraced her.
Why did you come to me? - I'll pull out your eyes!
Call your son at once! He ruined my daughter.
I'll kill you. -Me?
Look at you, what a disgrace! Stop it. - And you?
You felt nice, when you lied under him.
I know your tricks. You want money.
You have to pay because your son fucks anything that moves.
My brothers will castrate him. -Sit down.
Ok, I'll sit down.
There. I sit.
Call your son. Let him say, if he'll marry her.
If he wants her, you can do nothing about it.
When she sees my son her eyes are like blinkers.
Don't tell me! - She just winks, gives herself to others.
Blinkers? Shame on you, old woman.
Winged, sunny bird.
What trouble brought you here, child?
Worse then trouble.
Ruza turned the house upside down.
She wants everything to glare on holiday.
Perhan, give the girl some special lime!
Do you hear me?
I've come to buy soome lime.
Go, run!
Sit down.
Who'll carry such a sack?
I will, if you'll help me.
Do you know how to make lime? Listen.
The most important thing is temperature.
Without constant fire you cannot burn lime.
Fire is the basis of everything.
Wood burns, smoke goes through the oven,
the air warms up, iron plate gets white-hot.
Limetone burns and then goes out.
In the end everything turns to white dust .
Only God knows, how much is heat is needed for it.
Do you know how to kiss?
No house would be white without lime,
plum jam would be sour.
Do you know how to kiss? - Grandma thinks,
that lime was the breast of the rocky mother.
Mother of the forest and mother of the rock had a quarrel.
The forest mother tore her breast off with her teeth.
That's why lime is white as milk.
The earth gave it birth, the water baptised it, the fire breast-fed it .
You don't know how to kiss.
I know, in a film way. Like Richard Gere.
At dawn we'll be in Mexico. - At dawn?
Is it hot in Mexico? - It's hot.
It'll be wonderful. You, me, muchachos.
Calm down.
How long can you kiss without breathing in?
Fifteen or twenty minutes.
No!
My God!
You've got magnet on your lips.
Shall I show you something?
Look at the can.
Fata morgana!
Stop, the can!
Stop!
You've come to propose her ?
Me.
What? You're proposing?
This brat has come to spoil our Vasilica!
Look at him!
Inside! -Azra, stay here.
What? I said inside the house!
Azra, stay here!
Inside, if I tell you! Are you deaf?
You've ruined my life.
What's up with you? You've swallowed up my soul.
And you! You army bastard!
One doesn't know what faith you belong to! Neither Gypsy nor non-Gypsy.
You haven't got a single penny in your pocket !
You army bastard! What are you waiting for, get lost!
And you? You're silent as a grave!
You don't even open your mouth, you asshole! You've turned into a grave!
My God! Has anybody seen anything like it?
Help me neighbours! He wants to kill me!
Help! He'll kill me!
I'll pull out your eyes!
Help! Is anybody there? Hurry, neighbours!
He wants to slaughter me!
Dear grandma!
In a world, that does not understand me,
there is no place for me.
When I finish writing this lettes, I'll swallow it.
I don't want anybody to find it,
because I would be later ashamed,
of killing myself because for a woman.
I cannot live a second more without Azra.
Her mother, the three-headed snake,
does not allow me to see her.
Yours, Perhan.
My name is not Zabit, if I don't jump over the shadow!
One, two, three, now!
Damned shadow!
The moonlight smiles.
Azra!
Around fire we snivel,
cry rises, my shadow shivers, laughter lowers.
What is this pet doing at this hour?
Azra!
I love you! - I'm going!
Who are you, politician, to hang yourself?
Come down immediately! Down, I said!
Damn you, you stupid fool!
You'll hang here? Come down.
Neighbour!
Open! It's me, Zabit Mehmedovski.
Come in. Welcome.
Happy Vasilica! - May God be with you. Good luck.
I've brought you this donkey.
I rather not tell where I found it.
What are you doing? -I'm crying.
Does he cry too? -He cries.
You see she's sorry too.
I'll bring the accordion, so you'll play for grandma.
Fool! If you were my son, I would kill you this moment!.
Here, the accordion. Play.
Play the one that grandma likes.
It's absolutely romantic outside.
Too bad we're not young, so we could dance in the park.
Why wouldn't you dance with such a handsome man?
How do you like it?
Absolutely romantic!
You'll burn me!
Grandma, are you sleeping?
I'm sleeping. You sleep as well.
Grandma,
sit down by my side.
Was my mother beautiful?
Like a mountain fairy.
When she gave birth to Daca, her belly stretched.
I went to a witch.
She said, that she came upon a a water devil.
She gave her some spells, but nothing helped.
I took her to a hodja.
Germany is my homeland.
Merdzan, why didn't your return there?
He said she betrayed the path of the ancestors.
He read to her from the Koran on his head.
To no purpose.
The doctor gave her the medicines and injections,
but to no avail.
She died in my hands. She was young.
God gave, God took. What can I do.
Daca's father is not my father?
No.
Your father is a Slovenian.
He was here in the army. He promised your mother heaven on earth,
but then he left.
Then I'm an army bastard. Ruza told the truth.
Let her eat shit! You are grandmas child.
Sleep now.
Go back, we're not going together today.
Sit there and take care of Daca.
Are you deaf?
Everbody here! Let them see who came!
Ahmed Dida, champion.
Ahmed, you rich man, what a car have you got!
From distant Italy, everything shines on it!
Hi, Ahmed. How are you?
What a nice dress! White feather!
Care for a game? -At twelve at the old place.
Deal, no problem.
I've ran away from a madhouse. Give me some money.
I've come as a man, to propose your daughter.
Go out. Out.
Why do you drag along like a cat? Get lost at once.
I beg you. Even my grandma agreed.
You've come to propose her?
I said, I will not give her away. You have no job.
You have no working skills.
You should learn to transfer money into banks rather the cans.
Slowly.
My daughter is a beauty. You're not worth her.
Get lost!
Do I have to tell you a hundred times? Get lost!
Calm down. - I won't calm down!
Grandma, help.
A lot of people are proposing her!
Do you want to tear off my grandson's head?
What madness has gone into you? -Sit, aunty.
I will. I want my grandson to ger married.
I'll bring the money. I'll give it to you.
Here, look.
What can your grandson do?
He can move cans back and forth.
Why can't he transfer money into banks?
And your money doesn't mean a thing to him.
What would he do with it? My daughter is worth billions.
I didn't give her to anyone.
Come, Azra. Look at her. Beauty! All white.
You're very proud of her.
Why not? Look at her.
Take your grandsons hand and leave.
I'll be back. You'll be kissing my feet. Bitch!
Get lost. This treasure is not for you.
I'm a great she-devil. I'll bring you trouble.
You'll be kissing my feet!
Get lost!
Head up!
It's never later for jumping into water and marrying.
So use your head, grandma's sweetheart.
Did you sell the lime? - No. It's not going well.
When do you intend to return your depth? -Tomorrow.
We're leaving tomorrow. Come here. - Where are we going?
Where are we going? -Into the circle.
So police doesn't take us by surprise.
You can repay everything. Maybe even earn something.
Two cards.
Uncle, come home at once!
Robert is choking. He'll die.
Mother, save me!
They've fleeced me. - You've got the receipts there.
They're not pregnant women. I owe money to dangerous people.
Do you hear me? I've got into bad company.
Don't chase my dreams away.
Give me the money. They'll scatter my brains all over.
I'll show you!
Give me the money,
for fucks sake!
I'll kill you all! Give me the money, now!
For the last time: money or life!
Where should I get it? Do you want my soul?
You've got the money! - I don't have it.
You're keeping it in your pants. You keep it for the wedding.
I don't have it. Leave me, you fool!
Leave my brother and grandma alone!
Give me the money! I'll kill you all! Find it!
You've ruined us, you dicer!
So you won't give me the money? Now you'll see.
Damn all you dead and living! Give me the money!
I don't have it, fool! From where would i have it? Don't you see it's raining?
The child won't stop crying.
Where should I get the money from? - I'll show you!
I've been born without a father,
my mother took care of me.
I'll never forget my grandmother.
Don't cry, grandma.
Will you give me the money?
When you find the money, I'll return the house.
Don't cry, mother.
You fool, fool.
God have mercy on you.
Once there was the sky and earth husband and wife.
They had five children:
sun, moon,
fire, fog and wing.
They built a wonderful city and settled them there .
The bantering sun wanted to separate the earth from the sky,
but it didn't succeed.
Others have tried as well, but with no avail.
When wind rushed at them with all its power,
the earth separated from the sky.
Hatidza! It's a matter of life!
Save my child at once! No matter the price!
Blood is the biggest secret. Blood and power.
Listen. The child's spirit has not yet been woken.
Merdzan, my son! My eyes! Who did this to you?
His brothers.
What did you do, you scoundrels?
I treat your child, and this is how you repay me.
Your disgusting! Get lost, you scoundrel!
My sweetheart, mother's sunshine. They've disgraced us.
Is this your gratitude?
I haven't the slightest idea, I swear by my son.
May they all die on me, if I know anything about it.
I'll show them, to the very last one.
Here, take as much as you want.
Get lost, you scoundrel. What will the money do me any good?
Nobody lifted a hand upon Ahmeda Dzida.
God proteced you, for saving my son.
My sweetheart, my life.
Come handsome, we'll take care of everything..
You've slaughtered my turkey. Now I'll slaughter you.
You fools! You're sucking my blood.
You'll bury me alive in the grave. What are you doing?
Where should i run from these fools?
Go in your bed. Fuck the turkey!
I'll buy you three hundred others. - This one was mine.
I'll buy you three hundred turkeys.
Sit down. Calm down. You're driving my nuts.
Stop it. What are you doing you bastard?
You're beating your uncle. Poor fellow.
When I get you, i'll brake your neck.
I'll brake it like this.
I'll kill you, you miserable soul.
You'll lose all your teeth!
I'll break you into pieces like a pumpkin!
If you hit me one more time you bastard, I'll crush you!
You should be kissing my feet.
Where are you going? Sit.
I've remembered.
Would you like to pay for Robert?
You've said yourself that doctors couldn't help him.
Speak. - Do you see that girl?
Did you see her leg?
There's a hospital in Ljubljana, where they extend the bones.
You pay for that and we're even.
When I go to Italy, I'll leave her in Ljubljana.
I won't leave her alone. I will go with her.
Please do, it's the right thing to do.
Relatives help each other. I'll drive both.
Don't cry, Daca. I'll go with you.
I can't go to a hospital.
I am afraid I'll die there.
Don't be afraid.
Merdzan! What have you done, you fool?
Leave him alone, he's crazy. Devils have possesed him.
Look, what he's done to the house.
Why are you looking at them?
They're good as angels. They won't present trouble for you.
Listen, is this hereditary ? - The leg? -You're skills.
Can anyone from them do something like that?
Perhan knows a little bit. Nothing useful.
What's not useful? - Nothing, doesn't matter. -What?
Perhan, show him what you can do.
He wants to drive your sister to the hospital so she will recover.
Show him for your sister's sake. - I can't.
Show him, do you hear me?! - I can't.
He'll heal your sister. Show him what you can do.
Elvis, Jaser, Rambo!
Bring the "documents" instruments.
Take care of them like the pupil of the eye.
They're everything I have.
Don't worry. This taxi driver is the best.
He came especially from Brcko.
You'll have a leg like Marilyn Monroe.
Neighbours, good luck. Come back in good health!
You should go as well. I'll open you an ambulance in my van.
I can't, I'm sick.
Don't cry, grandma. She'll come back.
If it was fine, I wouldn't cry.
I forgot to give you the food for your trip.
Don't cry, Daca.
Everything played out like in dreams.
I'm leaving, wait for me.
Comply with everything that I inform you through grandma.
Love me like your eyes.
When I return, you'll live like a minister.
My sister and grandma will live with us. Ok?
When you see your uncle, run to the other side of the quart.
Deal? -Yes.
Don't cry, Hatiza.
From today you need your eyes to take care of my bride.
Make sure, that her feet wont be wondering more in the sky,
then stepping on earth.
How can I not cry, if my soul hurts?
Take care of your sister like the pupil of the eye.
Don't cry.
Irfan!
When the king of wind fell upon mother,
the sky separated from the earth.
The the suns...
Don't cry, Daca.
I ask you like God.
Promise me, that you won't leave me with them.
I'll do everything, just don't cry. -I've stopped.
I see mother.
You see?
Is she beautiful? -Very much.
What does she look like?
She's got hair, eyes, nose,
lips, everything.
Good day, doctor. We've talked on the phone.
Don't leave me alone, I beg you.
She is afraid. I told her,
that she'll have a leg like Marilyn Monroe,
when she's in your hands.
What's your name, little beauty? - Denira Feric. -Good girl.
Don't be afraid, Daca. Comrad Tito was treated here himself.
Let me look at you.
Doctor, I'll stay with her.
How can you demand that, if you're healthy?
You can't do that, Ahmed.
Do you have any documents? - I'm sorry, you can't go here.
Health insurance?
You just admit her. In two days you'll get everything.
How can you demand to stay with the child?
Who will feed you, where will you sleep?
Aren't you ashamed of taking a place of a patient?
I've promised grandma.
We promised that we'll cure her leg..
Go with me to Italy..
You'll work, you'll be able to build a house.
She's got osteomielitis. She has to be operated.
What is it? - The operation is expensive.
Perhan! Don't leave me alone, please!
Please, don't leave me!
Don't leave me alone.
Now you aren't doing well.
When you'll earn millions, you'll be grateful to me.
Where are these babies from? - I bought them on the way.
Why? So Robert would have company.
It suck nicer, if it's not alone.
Grownups prefer breasts for themselves, children don't.
Who sells them in such small size?
Those who have to.
He has 11 of them. He found himself a mistress,
who gave him these two as a present.
She's married too.
To hide her shame, she gave them to me.
Look at him! He's gifted as his father!
Zef, the cowboy film has just begun.
Feebles, damn you!
Take off your clothes! To the bone!
Come in.
You're next. - Go fuck yourself!
I'll hit you right in the forehead!
When he comes to you, say "ottanta".
If he says "cinquanta", say yes.
Now get lost.
Read! They've imposed on my taxes for the last six years..
Two penalties, three offences and one sentence.
I have to give everything, or they will evict me.
What do I have to do with this?
Where should I get money from for your sister? How?
Read it, if you don't believe me.
I'm poor as a church mouse. Ruined.
They've fried me.
Not to mention the bill for Roberta and the hospital!
That is yet to come. Help me a bit!
I'll help, but in a fair way.
And what fair thing can you do?
One after another, God may give you luck.
That's it, only fair.
Bosnian, come back.
Stand on the chair.
Who told you to do this?
Shut up!
If he doesn't want to work, he just doesn't have to!
He won't heal his sister,
he won't build a house, he won't get married.
Give him the money, let him be damned.
When you return to Ljubljana, take your sister.
Do you understand?
I feel pity for her. You live like a dog!
In dust nibble the bones.
Give him the money for the trip. Let him pack and go to the station.
Perhan, look.
