Which hotel are Tamara and Dawid staying at?
The big one... by the pier.
Did you know that she was two-timing you?
[breathing heavily]
So, what's next?
[breathing shakily]
[gentle piano music playing]
She never slept with me like that.
Not even when she was little.
[inhales softly]
But once...
we spent the day at this fair,
and Niko
and Lena were sliding down this huge inflatable castle.
And before each run,
she'd glance over at me.
And I knew she was sliding down only for me.
Enjoy the moment.
[door closes]
-[shower running] -[kiss]
[whispers] Good morning.
Breakfast in bed?
You're going to Italy because of me.
[Tamara] What are you saying?
[exhales softly]
[Lena] 'Cause I'm too much of a nuisance, right?
You waited until I came of age.
[Tamara] No.
But...
you never asked if I wanted to come along with you.
I didn't.
Yeah, I didn't.

[Lena] Can you take a look at something?

[Igor and Niko panting]
Can I use it?
Did they agree to it?

ON SUMMER, BRIEFLY
Where are you going, huh?
[Niko breathes deeply]
You're not going to the game?
What, to piss him off?
[chuckles]
[sighs]
[inhales] He cares.
Did he tell you that?
What about you?
[Malwina breathes deeply]
Staying here after all?
[scoffs softly]
Nah.
I just have to take care of something.
RESTAURANT
Lena gave you an opening,
so take it.
No, Malwina. I always do.
She fuckin' stole my card, my camera, my laptop.
I have to get them back.
[Malwina sighs softly]
[suitcase wheels rattling]
[footsteps approaching]
[birds twittering]
Do you miss him?
[inhales deeply, sighs]
I love you, you know?

It's really happening?
You're leaving me?

You don't like it.
One scene's missing, isn't it?
No... I mean... [sighs] Maybe we just didn't get it.
-[Tamara] Lena. -Niko would get it for sure.
[Tamara] Lena, this isn't good.
You wanna get into this school?
Then do another cut,
and another, and another until it's good.
I won't make it in time. I gotta submit it today.
-So, what? You're gonna give up? -You could try again in a year.
[Lena scoffs]
[Tamara] Did Niko think about you...
-Oh, jeez! -...when he applied to dental school?
-[footsteps depart] -Lena!
Get to work!
And what if she doesn't get in?
Your Italy plan fucking fails?
She'll get in. [sighs]
Has it ever crossed your mind
that Italy might not work out for the two of us?
Are you chickening out?
And once again, you're picking a fight like you always do.
[sighs]
You know what? Stay if you don't wanna go.
I'm not hauling you there by force.
[scoffing chuckle]
[sobbing]
Hey.
Don't cry.

Someone stole my fucking gear.
[piano music fades out]
I'm not using that scene.
No?
[gulls squawking]
[door closes]
[Lena sighs] I have to return Nikodem's gear.
[Tamara] We're staying in Poland.
I'm fine with you leaving.
I can manage.
[bag zipping]
We're staying.
Okay.
Mom...
I did slide down for you.
[door opens, closes]
It's all there. You can check.
[Lena breathes deeply]
[in low voice] Good luck, Vincent.
[chuckles]
[grunts softly]
You're not my responsibility.
I'm sorry.
You are my... favorite person.
Meow.

[chuckles] Get in. We gotta go.
What?
[Niko] We gotta go.
Where to?

You with me?
-[chuckles] No. -[Niko] Yeah.
[both chuckle]
-What are you... No! [laughs] -[Niko grunts, chuckles]
-No! [laughs] -[chuckles]
Help! He's kidnapping me! [chuckles]

I did something fucking awful.
[Niko] Did you submit it to the school already?
Not yet.
Tell me the story.

Lena, no.

Tell me the story in your own words.

I prepared some scenes earlier.
From my favorite movies. I knew some would fit into the assignment.
Yeah, but isn't that kinda cheating?

The off-screen narration.

My brain is different.
Mmm, what's obvious to others doesn't make sense to me sometimes,

Um...
I wanted to use it to show what it's like in my world.

who do you think this movie is for?
Uh, my best friend Niko.

ever since I can remember.
I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for him.

here at school?
Is he applying here too?
No.
But I think I can handle it.
