Andrzej Munk was unable |
| 00:01:29 |
He died in a car accident |
| 00:01:37 |
We have no intention of adding |
| 00:01:41 |
We are not searching for solutions |
| 00:01:46 |
...nor seeking to conclude the plots |
| 00:01:52 |
We merely wish to present |
| 00:01:56 |
...with all the gaps |
| 00:01:59 |
...in an attempt to grasp whatever |
| 00:02:04 |
Andrzej Munk was our contemporary. |
| 00:02:08 |
We shared his hopes and fears, |
| 00:02:13 |
...we may perhaps manage to present |
| 00:02:32 |
The story begins today... |
| 00:02:36 |
...in a place where yesterday and |
| 00:02:41 |
This luxury liner |
| 00:02:45 |
...and each of her passengers |
| 00:02:48 |
Worries and ambitions fade away |
| 00:02:51 |
A passenger isn't part of a society... |
| 00:02:55 |
...a nation or a group - |
| 00:02:58 |
The world turns a smiling face |
| 00:03:01 |
...friendly, ready to serve... |
| 00:03:05 |
...not too curious about where they |
| 00:03:09 |
But we will not observe this idyll |
| 00:03:20 |
We shall give our attention |
| 00:03:24 |
She is a German... |
| 00:03:27 |
...who hasn't seen her country, |
| 00:03:31 |
Now she is returning with her husband... |
| 00:03:34 |
...whom she married in a foreign, |
| 00:03:44 |
England... The first port of call |
| 00:05:24 |
What has Liza seen? |
| 00:05:27 |
Her husband does not understand... |
| 00:05:30 |
...why this encounter has upset her. |
| 00:05:34 |
Don't call me '"poor little thing" |
| 00:05:38 |
You know nothing about it. |
| 00:05:41 |
My time in the camp... |
| 00:05:43 |
...was not what you think, |
| 00:05:49 |
I wasn't a prisoner, |
| 00:05:53 |
Don't look at me like that. |
| 00:05:59 |
And if Marta is alive... |
| 00:06:04 |
...it's only because of me. |
| 00:06:08 |
I haven't told you much about |
| 00:06:13 |
You'll never understand how we had |
| 00:06:19 |
Perhaps it's best for us both... |
| 00:06:23 |
...if you hear it at last. |
| 00:07:51 |
I was sent to Auschwitz |
| 00:07:56 |
I took charge of a command working |
| 00:08:01 |
I had nothing to do with the |
| 00:08:06 |
Everything belonged to the Reich... |
| 00:08:09 |
...and I was responsible for seeing |
| 00:08:15 |
There was a war on |
| 00:08:21 |
Some were drunk with power, |
| 00:08:28 |
I always tried to help those women |
| 00:08:54 |
I had to select an assistant |
| 00:08:58 |
Work in my command |
| 00:09:02 |
...and the treatment was more humane. |
| 00:09:21 |
I saw something vulnerable |
| 00:09:25 |
I was sorry for her. |
| 00:09:33 |
She became my clerk. |
| 00:09:46 |
It was a pleasure... |
| 00:09:49 |
...to watch her change back |
| 00:09:54 |
I hoped that one day |
| 00:09:58 |
...and I did all I could |
| 00:10:03 |
Then I discovered that her fiancee |
| 00:10:08 |
...and as we needed help with |
| 00:10:36 |
Thanks to me they met again. |
| 00:11:15 |
One day she fell ill |
| 00:11:21 |
Conditions were not good there, |
| 00:11:25 |
We couldn't cope. |
| 00:11:27 |
Anyway, our soldiers at the front |
| 00:11:32 |
I decided to have Marta back |
| 00:11:45 |
I could care for her better there... |
| 00:11:48 |
...make sure the doctor visited her. |
| 00:11:51 |
I got sulphonamide and vitamins |
| 00:11:56 |
I saved her life. |
| 00:12:00 |
I didn't ask for thanks, |
| 00:12:08 |
She didn't want to show it. |
| 00:12:18 |
When she recovered she was |
| 00:12:23 |
Whatever it was, it was something |
| 00:12:48 |
Attention! |
| 00:12:51 |
When I realised what it was all about, |
| 00:13:08 |
She went to him of her own accord. |
| 00:13:11 |
She must have expected this visit. |
| 00:13:14 |
I had no idea what her offence was, |
| 00:13:18 |
...when Untersturmführer Grabner |
| 00:13:23 |
...nothing on earth could save her. |
| 00:14:06 |
Marta was taken to the death block. |
| 00:14:14 |
Before leaving for the Reich, I said |
| 00:14:48 |
It was awful. |
| 00:14:53 |
Then I saw Marta. |
| 00:15:16 |
I, an SS Overseer, |
| 00:15:22 |
Until now I was sure Marta had |
| 00:15:40 |
Perhaps Walter will be touched |
| 00:15:47 |
But the response of the husband |
| 00:15:52 |
...that's not really important, |
| 00:15:56 |
...so Liza could recount her first, |
| 00:16:03 |
The second version, |
| 00:16:09 |
There is a gap in the film... |
| 00:16:11 |
...to be filled with various events |
| 00:16:17 |
Munk began to film these events... |
| 00:16:21 |
...but never completed them. |
| 00:16:24 |
The motivations of the Auschwitz |
| 00:16:30 |
We are left with fragments - |
| 00:16:34 |
...Liza, staring at Marta... |
| 00:16:37 |
...trying to be sure it is really her. |
| 00:16:41 |
Under such tension Liza recalls |
| 00:17:03 |
I was sorry for her. |
| 00:17:08 |
She didn't give a damn |
| 00:17:12 |
I, a German, denied myself |
| 00:17:15 |
...I had no private life, no love, |
| 00:17:21 |
She, a Pole, committed for a |
| 00:17:28 |
She didn't need me to be happy. |
| 00:17:33 |
It wasn't my doing and it wasn't by |
| 00:17:40 |
Prisoners exploited our trust. |
| 00:17:46 |
...pulling wool over our eyes. |
| 00:17:48 |
Even some German foremen were |
| 00:17:57 |
He's not here. |
| 00:17:59 |
- What do you mean? |
| 00:18:15 |
- Who's this? |
| 00:18:19 |
- Another one of your tricks? |
| 00:18:26 |
Decent Germans are at the front, |
| 00:18:33 |
You stinking coward. |
| 00:18:36 |
In 1936 I fought in Spain. I didn't get |
| 00:19:03 |
- Do you know the job? |
| 00:19:18 |
I let it go on. |
| 00:19:21 |
In the battle we fought... |
| 00:19:26 |
...I knew that cunning was |
| 00:19:36 |
They played at love, thinking no |
| 00:19:43 |
But I knew, and if you know |
| 00:19:48 |
...and you can give it |
| 00:19:53 |
...you are the master. |
| 00:20:05 |
I keep getting reports of theft. |
| 00:20:08 |
Confiscated items are Reich property. |
| 00:20:14 |
Yesterday a woman prisoner was |
| 00:20:18 |
Today we found some buried gold. |
| 00:20:22 |
Ober, a simple soul, an idealist, |
| 00:20:29 |
Yet in the end she said |
| 00:20:33 |
"We must win the confidence of |
| 00:20:39 |
"Only the best in the garrison |
| 00:20:44 |
'"...can restore this camp's |
| 00:20:48 |
This idea was not new to me. |
| 00:23:15 |
Overseer Weniger wishes |
| 00:23:21 |
Unfortunately, I had moments |
| 00:23:25 |
...and Marta was able to take note. |
| 00:23:48 |
Even dogs have temptations |
| 00:23:52 |
Major, Inga's pet, was extremely |
| 00:23:56 |
He wasn't to know he would |
| 00:24:15 |
A brat! |
| 00:24:20 |
Lmpossible. I'll have a look. |
| 00:24:23 |
Do you trust her? |
| 00:24:30 |
I'd better check. |
| 00:24:51 |
What a lovely brat it is! |
| 00:25:03 |
Another stupid joke |
| 00:25:52 |
I was humiliated. |
| 00:25:55 |
...Marta involved me in |
| 00:25:59 |
...an accomplice in an effort |
| 00:26:05 |
Then the fight for Marta, against |
| 00:26:35 |
It's my birthday today. |
| 00:26:52 |
No one here remembered |
| 00:26:55 |
...no one gave me such flowers. |
| 00:26:58 |
The roses came from |
| 00:27:03 |
Prisoners from the men's camp |
| 00:27:08 |
I decided to begin the attack... |
| 00:27:11 |
...let Marta know that |
| 00:27:14 |
...like a sweet |
| 00:27:25 |
Thank you, Madam Overseer, |
| 00:27:32 |
Anyway, I'm not all that keen |
| 00:27:50 |
Still here? They're waiting! |
| 00:28:01 |
He's got urgent work |
| 00:28:06 |
You know, Madam, we've got artists |
| 00:28:44 |
That's his girl... |
| 00:28:50 |
He longs for her, but they can't meet, |
| 00:29:39 |
I was close to mastering Marta. |
| 00:29:43 |
I told her to take the numbers |
| 00:29:51 |
So then I said... |
| 00:29:54 |
...Tadeusz. |
| 00:29:58 |
She understood. |
| 00:30:21 |
But for that dog, |
| 00:30:57 |
I GAVE MAN EVERYTHING |
| 00:31:13 |
I disliked such spectacles - |
| 00:31:19 |
Of course, the punishment |
| 00:31:36 |
Marta's gesture rather pleased me. |
| 00:31:39 |
I didn't suspect that it was more than |
| 00:32:21 |
- Gruyere cheese? |
| 00:32:23 |
The men did it. |
| 00:32:27 |
Who in the men's camp could have |
| 00:32:34 |
Who would take revenge |
| 00:32:39 |
I decided to put pressure on Marta, |
| 00:33:24 |
Take over command! |
| 00:33:32 |
An international commission is coming. |
| 00:33:39 |
Choose a prisoner |
| 00:33:43 |
- Your assistant? |
| 00:33:45 |
- Typhus? |
| 00:33:50 |
Why not bring her to the block? |
| 00:33:58 |
One of the two was Marta... |
| 00:34:02 |
...but I still fought for her. |
| 00:34:55 |
I'm ready for punishment. |
| 00:35:00 |
I had to see her. |
| 00:36:07 |
Here you see a typical barracks |
| 00:36:21 |
Here's one of our convalescents. |
| 00:36:31 |
She is recovering, isn't she? |
| 00:36:38 |
Yes, she's had medicine |
| 00:36:44 |
Only since yesterday? |
| 00:36:47 |
How long has she been ill? |
| 00:36:50 |
A week. |
| 00:36:55 |
It's war, even our soldiers at the |
| 00:37:03 |
- How long have you been here? |
| 00:37:07 |
Is this your first illness here? |
| 00:37:09 |
Yes. I've checked her medical card. |
| 00:37:16 |
No illnesses in two years? |
| 00:37:23 |
No flu? No cold? |
| 00:37:38 |
Do you get letters regularly? |
| 00:37:46 |
Of course. We don't limit |
| 00:37:50 |
It's not against the regulations. |
| 00:37:53 |
Do you allow visits by relatives? |
| 00:37:57 |
That's forbidden in every country. |
| 00:38:01 |
These are political prisoners. |
| 00:38:04 |
Of course, we allow prisoners |
| 00:38:09 |
- When? |
| 00:38:17 |
Has anyone visited you? |
| 00:38:20 |
Her fiancee is a prisoner, too. |
| 00:38:22 |
Another "political" - He visited her |
| 00:38:29 |
Well, Marta, did he visit you? |
| 00:38:44 |
Yes. |
| 00:38:54 |
Congratulations! Promotion for sure! |
| 00:38:58 |
Ober was pleased with me |
| 00:39:02 |
She talked about promotion, |
| 00:39:08 |
I rejoiced, too. |
| 00:39:22 |
Marta had finally given in to me. |
| 00:39:25 |
I planned to take her with me when |
| 00:39:39 |
The life of the camp family rolled on, |
| 00:39:43 |
...and holidays. |
| 00:39:55 |
I rejoiced too soon. |
| 00:39:58 |
Behind my back they behaved as |
| 00:40:03 |
Perhaps they sensed it was |
| 00:40:07 |
...but what did I care about |
| 00:43:37 |
I should have finished her. |
| 00:43:39 |
This was the moment. |
| 00:44:55 |
I really saved her life this time. |
| 00:44:58 |
I deluded myself into thinking... |
| 00:45:00 |
...she'd be grateful at last. |
| 00:45:07 |
Here. |
| 00:45:24 |
The Commandant wishes to see you. |
| 00:45:30 |
I'll deal with this. |
| 00:45:37 |
Roll call! |
| 00:46:27 |
A note was found. |
| 00:46:36 |
Who wrote it? |
| 00:46:51 |
Marta, step forward. |
| 00:47:07 |
Translate. |
| 00:47:26 |
I... Too, am always close to you |
| 00:47:33 |
Always close to you... |
| 00:47:37 |
Louder. |
| 00:47:41 |
I don't even have to close my eyes |
| 00:47:46 |
You are within my reach. |
| 00:47:51 |
I like your hands, |
| 00:47:57 |
Darling... My beloved... |
| 00:48:02 |
It doesn't matter that |
| 00:48:08 |
I remember your voice. |
| 00:48:12 |
Although you're not allowed |
| 00:48:16 |
...I can talk to you yet. |
| 00:48:20 |
We can talk to each other, |
| 00:48:29 |
Darling... it must be autumn now |
| 00:48:36 |
I lie beside you in the grass... |
| 00:48:41 |
...among golden leaves... |
| 00:48:44 |
...soon it will begin to rain. |
| 00:48:47 |
You will shield me from the rain, |
| 00:48:55 |
I walk in mud, without leaves. |
| 00:48:59 |
Darling, do you... |
| 00:49:05 |
It's good that you exist. |
| 00:49:11 |
I kiss your lips... |
| 00:49:15 |
...so they won't be sad. |
| 00:49:19 |
I kiss your eyes, |
| 00:49:23 |
The end. |
| 00:49:31 |
Go back. |
| 00:49:37 |
The note is stupid and unimportant. |
| 00:49:40 |
I won't report it |
| 00:49:45 |
If she delays she'll be sent |
| 00:49:51 |
You'll all go there if no one owns up. |
| 00:49:55 |
The Commandant wishes to see you. |
| 00:50:05 |
You'll stay here all night |
| 00:50:27 |
- You, too? |
| 00:50:31 |
She's furious. She's been named |
| 00:50:37 |
A broadcast from London |
| 00:50:42 |
How do they know what goes on here? |
| 00:50:54 |
Why does she want us? |
| 00:50:57 |
Inga, come in. Liza, wait. |
| 00:51:20 |
I didn't understand |
| 00:51:23 |
...but a love letter would not have |
| 00:51:33 |
Your duty here is finished. |
| 00:51:38 |
You're posted to headquarters. |
| 00:51:41 |
Do you know that we must discuss |
| 00:51:47 |
Your command hid a Jewish child. |
| 00:51:52 |
That's impossible. |
| 00:51:54 |
Weniger was on duty then |
| 00:51:58 |
Well, if Inga admits she was on duty... |
| 00:52:01 |
You must remember. |
| 00:52:07 |
...and she brought a doll. |
| 00:52:10 |
I don't remember. |
| 00:52:12 |
It couldn't have happened |
| 00:52:16 |
Liza, how can you... |
| 00:52:24 |
Your word is enough. |
| 00:52:28 |
I know Liza... |
| 00:52:33 |
...she would admit an offence. |
| 00:52:44 |
An SS officer never evades |
| 00:52:52 |
I know my duty. The command |
| 00:52:58 |
I request they all go |
| 00:53:03 |
Very well. Prepare your report. |
| 00:53:53 |
Overseer... The Blockmaster would |
| 00:54:02 |
Command affairs |
| 00:54:05 |
Perhaps Overseer Inga, then, |
| 00:54:56 |
You're all going for correction. |
| 00:54:59 |
But I confessed. |
| 00:55:02 |
Untrue. You couldn't have written it. |
| 00:55:07 |
You know I could. |
| 00:55:09 |
I don't know. It was just some |
| 00:55:16 |
No, you know it was me. |
| 00:55:28 |
She forced me to it. |
| 00:55:31 |
She wanted to destroy me, |
| 00:55:44 |
Those last words are not very clear. |
| 00:55:46 |
How did Liza defend herself... |
| 00:55:49 |
...and influence Marta's fate... |
| 00:55:52 |
...the fate she recounted |
| 00:55:56 |
...and now prefers to end unfinished? |
| 00:56:00 |
But we shouldn't ask too much |
| 00:56:03 |
...she's admitted enough. |
| 00:56:06 |
Justifying oneself is only human. |
| 00:56:09 |
Anyway, what is this recollection |
| 00:56:12 |
...between overseer |
| 00:56:18 |
An apology, an escape... |
| 00:56:20 |
...from cruelty and evil, |
| 00:56:26 |
In the vague, unreal background, |
| 00:56:32 |
...anonymously, |
| 00:56:35 |
...victims trampled into the mud, |
| 00:56:52 |
Set on a liner, an island in time... |
| 00:56:54 |
...this story can be concluded easily. |
| 00:56:58 |
The brush with the past |
| 00:57:02 |
Marta, or someone resembling her... |
| 00:57:04 |
...disembarked at the next |
| 00:57:08 |
The ship sails on. |
| 00:57:10 |
It's doubtful if the women |
| 00:57:13 |
Liza won't be challenged by truths |
| 00:57:19 |
Nothing can disturb Liza's life |
| 00:57:23 |
...indifferent to yesterday's crimes, |
| 00:57:51 |
