00:03:19 We were supposed
00:03:24 Somewhere in Poland.
00:03:28 Where there's a river, a
00:03:34 I remember coming to Andrzej
00:03:37 That I had to be in Warsaw.
00:03:40 Actually, I thought back then
00:03:46 we could still do it somewhere close.
00:03:50 I didn't know what was ahead of us.
00:03:55 I remember the twitch in Andrzej's face
00:04:00 That I couldn't leave him just then,
00:04:05 that he was sick.
00:04:08 He said it's ok, that he understands,
00:04:13 they'll look for a location
00:04:19 Come to think of it, it wouldn't
00:04:27 I didn't realize...
00:04:31 ...how intense
00:04:37 I didn't believe things would turn bad,
00:04:43 Doctors said:
00:04:46 "try to live your life as usual. "
00:04:52 He didn't have the energy.
00:04:57 He couldn't walk.
00:05:01 I kept taking photos.
00:05:04 Just in case.
00:05:06 He let me,
00:05:11 I thought to myself how your
00:05:16 Cameraman.
00:05:19 He knew how much it matters
00:05:24 to seize the expression,
00:05:29 the moment.
00:05:33 I often took photographs
00:05:36 He would always wake up after a while
00:05:42 I don't know what I felt back then.
00:05:48 I wasn't filled with panic.
00:05:52 Calm.
00:06:09 I took him to his brain CT-scan.
00:06:16 And in his brain there were just those
00:06:24 Nothing else.
00:06:29 And they aren't changing,
00:06:34 Nothing is changing.
00:06:36 He shows no more mets.
00:06:40 Or maybe these aren't even mets.
00:06:55 We laughed a lot.
00:06:58 We painted the rooms.
00:07:06 When I was driving him home,
00:07:08 he had to pee about
00:07:12 We laughed about it.
00:07:17 I took photos of him
00:07:26 Now I look at these pictures
00:07:31 They are like a treasure to me now.
00:07:38 I haven't cancelled his mobile
00:07:41 I've kept it for myself.
00:07:48 There's this message
00:07:55 Sometimes I leave a message.
00:08:02 About anything.
00:08:06 About any problem and he
00:08:15 The phone's still there,
00:08:19 anyone can call.
00:08:23 "SWEET RUSH"
00:08:26 - From the beginning?
00:08:28 - That's the most important part.
00:08:30 Sweet rush has two kinds of fragrance.
00:08:34 When rubbed between two fingers,
00:08:41 Wrinkled on this side. That's right.
00:08:43 ...gives off a smell,
00:08:47 a faint scent of water shadowed
00:08:51 Yet, when one crushes its blade,
00:08:55 when one buries the nose in its groove,
00:09:00 apart from the fragrance of incense,
00:09:03 one will detect the smell of muddy loam,
00:09:06 rotting fish scales,
00:09:09 mud,
00:09:16 the aroma of death.
00:09:22 That fragrance
00:09:25 blended with an image
00:10:20 Marta lost her two sons during the German
00:10:22 occupation and she is
00:10:25 Her husband, terribly busy.
00:10:29 Aside from working at the hospital,
00:10:32 for the townsfolk. Marta is very
00:10:37 It must be added, however,
00:10:41 She never gives voice to her feelings.
00:10:46 Receives phone calls, makes appointments
00:10:50 so that the weary doctor could
00:11:06 Tatarak, take one.
00:11:23 Take a seat.
00:11:38 - Do you have the results?
00:12:04 Excuse me.
00:12:38 Something's wrong?
00:12:41 No. Why?
00:12:52 You look pale.
00:12:56 No. Maybe I just didn't
00:13:10 I'll have to examine you.
00:13:14 And don't even try to resist.
00:13:32 Are you in pain?
00:13:35 No, I'm not in pain.
00:13:38 I just don't feel well.
00:13:56 - Have you lost weight?
00:14:00 How much?
00:14:01 Six kilos.
00:14:04 - Since when?
00:14:14 X- ray.
00:14:25 Thank you.
00:14:34 - Here.
00:15:02 And that?
00:15:05 How long have you had that?
00:15:08 It's been two weeks since I noticed.
00:15:11 - Why didn't you tell me?
00:15:38 You've lost six kilos?
00:15:41 Maybe seven.
00:15:50 Breath in.
00:15:53 Hold your breath.
00:16:09 Good afternoon.
00:16:13 It's just a common cold.
00:16:16 I'm tired.
00:16:24 She may not live through the summer.
00:16:28 Are you going to tell her?
00:16:31 No.
00:16:34 Off you go.
00:16:38 Thank you for coming to see us...
00:16:58 Doctor, Doctor...
00:17:11 Next, please.
00:17:16 Why did you come?
00:17:21 I've grown old, I've changed.
00:17:26 Not at all... Why would you... Marta...
00:17:30 We've all changed, grown old.
00:17:33 You have too.
00:17:36 But so much time has passed.
00:17:40 Do any of our old acquaintances
00:17:45 No, none. Whatsoever.
00:17:48 There was a time when they would call,
00:17:53 And not even one
00:17:57 Listen, is it true that,
00:18:00 Tesia started telling tales
00:18:03 this Ibsenesque atmosphere in our house.
00:18:08 No, no, I haven't
00:18:12 Look.
00:18:17 That's the only thing they've
00:18:22 As if they knew people need a place
00:18:26 That's the most important
00:18:29 But people need to enjoy themselves.
00:18:32 Or they'd go mad
00:18:34 Don't tell me you go to dances.
00:18:37 No. Not to dances.
00:18:48 All townsfolk come over here
00:18:54 One comes over here to parade
00:18:58 I come here too, sometimes.
00:19:02 Or the only world I'd know would be
00:19:08 And this is where our youth
00:19:12 Look how...
00:19:15 ...how beautiful they are,
00:19:18 how robust.
00:19:34 What are they drinking?
00:19:37 Oh, this is liquid fruit,
00:19:41 the local pride, our speciality.
00:19:44 - Would you like to taste it?
00:19:47 Wait a moment.
00:20:20 I do apologise, Madam.
00:20:32 But for Alina,
00:20:36 Janusz is in America,
00:20:38 Robert and Zbyszek in London.
00:20:41 Robert doesn't even think to come back.
00:20:49 He says he'll come when the system
00:20:53 So he'll never come back.
00:20:57 That's good.
00:20:58 Juice.
00:20:59 - It's just juice.
00:21:02 They'd probably like something stronger,
00:21:07 - Do you know these people?
00:21:10 It's a small town. We know one another,
00:21:13 It's a really small town.
00:21:15 Zbyszek's going to come.
00:21:18 He'll come with her so I hope
00:21:23 He's got two girls.
00:21:26 He works at the airport in London.
00:21:32 You may remember Janusz the best.
00:21:37 Remember when Janusz, on his own,
00:21:40 Do you remember that
00:21:44 That was so joyful!
00:21:46 so many children.
00:21:48 Your two, the three of mine.
00:21:50 Alina, and, well,
00:21:55 And Alina's fine.
00:22:00 I wonder if he'll let her
00:22:03 The girls rather yes,
00:22:11 Dear God, what a time!
00:22:16 And the river flows...
00:22:35 Let's go now. Let's go.
00:23:11 Yes, he will see you.
00:23:14 All right. Please, do not worry.
00:23:17 Yes, he will certainly see you.
00:23:22 Hello, doctor's house.
00:23:25 No, I'm afraid not.
00:23:30 Yes, if it's serious,
00:23:37 Yes, yes, he will certainly
00:23:43 What are you doing?
00:23:50 Do not go in there, please!
00:23:52 I'm sorry. I wanted to tidy the room.
00:23:56 I told you to tidy everywhere except
00:24:02 If I haven't, I'm telling you now.
00:24:06 - I'm sorry.
00:24:11 Here. Excuse me.
00:25:08 - See, they're looking at us...
00:25:13 Like yesterday... with the fellows...
00:25:25 I expect you'll come
00:25:29 on 1 st August to visit the boys' grave.
00:25:33 Yes, yes, I'm planning to,
00:26:08 Forgive me, Marta.
00:26:21 You have nothing to reproach
00:26:23 None of that was your fault.
00:26:27 Nobody could have predicted
00:26:31 Nobody could have predicted that.
00:26:35 But I couldn't stop them.
00:26:38 Nobody would've been able to.
00:26:48 I still see them
00:28:19 I'm sorry.
00:28:30 How was your day? Was it all right?
00:28:33 It was fine.
00:28:38 I postponed that patient's
00:28:41 Thank you.
00:28:43 He called three times.
00:28:56 - Here, have some.
00:29:09 - Maybe you'll have some jam?
00:29:14 You know what,
00:29:17 I think I'll go to bed, all right?
00:29:21 - Good night.
00:29:23 - What time are you leaving?
00:29:26 All right them. Have a good night.
00:30:19 Why, are you alone today?
00:30:30 No, no, please, sit down.
00:30:37 Thank you.
00:30:43 It's such a lovely place, isn't it?
00:30:51 Why are you alone today?
00:30:56 Halinka has left.
00:30:59 And who is Halinka?
00:31:02 It doesn't matter.
00:31:20 She's a student and she
00:31:25 And I'm just a simple boy, after all...
00:31:31 - Are your parents alive?
00:31:36 They died during the war.
00:31:44 She raised a splendid boy.
00:31:48 I'm sorry, I don't know
00:31:56 - Where did you go to school?
00:31:58 I trained as a raftsman.
00:32:01 But wouldn't you like
00:32:04 Now you start talking like Halina.
00:32:07 I'm not meant to be anything else,
00:32:12 I'm a born raftsman - water inspector
00:32:18 And what does she want from you?
00:32:20 She wants me to read books
00:32:23 and walk with her in the moonlight,
00:32:27 - And you would rather play bridge?
00:32:32 I saw you two at the stage
00:32:39 Exactly.
00:32:43 I'd also prefer you to learn
00:33:52 I do read sometimes but there's
00:33:57 I can't buy them. And, what's worse,
00:34:04 Why don't you take books from me?
00:34:08 We have some books.
00:34:11 My husband buys and has them delivered,
00:34:16 They just lie there uncut.
00:34:18 Thank you.
00:34:21 So when are you going to come over?
00:34:30 She just thinks she's
00:34:33 She'll be a university lecturer and
00:34:37 with a blockhead like me. I don't mind
00:34:40 I don't need any science to live.
00:34:46 If she wants to marry me, that's fine.
00:34:52 But you are too young to get married.
00:34:56 Too young, too young.
00:34:58 That's exactly what she says.
00:35:34 Why don't you come over tomorrow.
00:35:37 - Do you know where we live?
00:35:40 - Right behind Krakowska Gate.
00:35:48 Do you swim?
00:35:50 I do.
00:35:53 I don't know anyone I could swim with.
00:35:58 Maybe we could meet
00:36:03 I must go now.
00:36:18 But do come over.
00:36:53 This one's made with an oak leaf.
00:36:55 This one's with an oak leaf.
00:36:58 And she said her pressure
00:37:02 Here, this one is with cherry.
00:37:07 Horrible, so sour these ones.
00:37:11 They taste the same.
00:37:14 And every year when
00:37:17 to get something for blood pressure.
00:38:50 Lets' go. You shouldn't be sitting here.
00:38:55 Don't you feel any shame?
00:38:57 Aren't you ashamed to be alive?
00:39:01 Because I'm ashamed of myself thinking
00:39:12 There are so many young people
00:39:18 They wouldn't be so young any more.
00:39:22 They would probably be married.
00:39:24 Apart from them, there would be
00:39:30 How awful!
00:39:36 I detest young women.
00:39:39 That's so pompous.
00:39:45 Let's go. You needn't get so upset.
00:39:51 I am always filled
00:39:54 when I see such a young life around me.
00:39:58 Youth is shameless.
00:40:01 You are forgetting one thing.
00:40:05 Life turns into death so easily.
00:40:34 Good night.
00:41:14 I didn't believe he would die,
00:41:21 It's been seven months
00:41:30 He told me that...
00:41:34 it was on the stairs, in our home,
00:41:37 while he was walking by
00:41:40 Whaaat! - I shouted.
00:41:42 How do you know?!
00:41:46 Calm down, quiet.
00:41:48 Don't shout.
00:41:54 I got the pictures. Chest X-ray.
00:42:00 What time?
00:42:02 - In the afternoon.
00:42:06 - Right after that or in the evening.
00:42:13 Take it easy. I'll call you.
00:42:19 We met later that day at the Theatre.
00:42:22 I don't know...
00:42:25 He brought some tiles,
00:42:38 I called him in the afternoon.
00:42:40 - Have you got the result?
00:42:43 The doctor wasn't there.
00:42:44 I won't be able to pick it up tomorrow,
00:42:50 He'd been building the theatre
00:42:54 He stayed up with the workers at night,
00:43:01 The Theatre had been open for some time,
00:43:06 He told me it was an allergy to dust.
00:43:09 On 10th June he took his tests.
00:43:17 I got off the phone,
00:43:21 ...and went to the lab.
00:43:28 There were only some doorman
00:43:32 I'm begging you, please, help me.
00:43:36 No, I can't. I can't,
00:43:39 Personal data protection.
00:43:45 Anyway, the results aren't ready yet.
00:43:51 But, please, show them to me.
00:43:54 After all, you do know all about that.
00:43:57 I can't. I can't,
00:44:05 It was a bearded man, in the afternoon?
00:44:08 Yes, Edward Klosinski.
00:44:12 He left. He came back.
00:44:16 It's very bad - he said.
00:44:20 Very bad.
00:44:22 We'll get it ready as first tomorrow.
00:44:27 What time can we do that?
00:44:29 From 8, but you may
00:44:33 I called. I said: Edward, I've seen it,
00:44:38 We'll get the results tomorrow
00:44:43 I hate that.
00:44:45 I'll sue them!
00:44:48 they show her whatever she wants.
00:44:52 It's disgusting. I hate that!
00:44:59 Yes, because my name is Krystyna Janda.
00:45:04 Tomorrow we'll get
00:45:06 You can get them yourself.
00:45:09 I can't, the plumber
00:45:13 They'll give it to you.
00:45:20 I went very early in the morning,
00:45:25 The result was there, waiting.
00:45:28 They asked no questions, nothing,
00:45:31 They gave it to me.
00:45:37 I was holding that envelope in my hand
00:45:41 and walking towards
00:45:47 I drove through the gate
00:45:50 I found a shoulder to park
00:45:54 A tumour 8 x 10 centimetres
00:45:59 five shadows in the right one.
00:46:02 I was in shock. What shadows?
00:46:08 I called my doctor friend in Germany.
00:46:12 All she said was - Read it.
00:46:16 But what are shadows?
00:46:19 Mets.
00:46:24 It's spread to both lungs.
00:46:28 Hang in there now.
00:46:34 I didn't call him.
00:46:38 I cried,
00:46:42 I screamed, I couldn't calm down.
00:46:50 And that was the only time when
00:46:57 Quietly, when I was alone.
00:47:02 And I cry like that until today
00:47:12 We met at the theatre.
00:47:15 He didn't ask me anything.
00:47:18 the hospital on Plocka Street.
00:47:22 who, as it happens, was a friend
00:47:29 Not a word on the way...
00:47:32 We drove in silence.
00:47:39 I didn't say anything.
00:47:42 He didn't ask about the result.
00:47:47 My mobile rang. Andrzej Wajda.
00:47:54 All the way to hospital
00:48:01 That there's this assistant
00:48:05 He's been giving me tips,
00:48:08 on the set who thinks they
00:48:11 Andrzej was having doubts.
00:48:17 At the crossroads,
00:48:20 just before the turning into
00:48:25 I'm a little scared.
00:48:30 I kept quiet.
00:48:32 He preferred not to ask.
00:48:35 We went into the doctors' office.
00:48:37 A pragmatic, calm doctor,
00:48:41 the kind we always trust,
00:48:44 Edward sat with his back to the screen
00:48:47 I sat facing all of this.
00:48:50 One glance was enough.
00:48:56 He realised I knew everything.
00:49:00 Edward was sitting with his back
00:49:05 The doctor said:
00:49:09 Have you read the description, sir?
00:49:12 What else could he have said.
00:49:17 No, I didn't.
00:49:22 And then the doctor
00:49:26 He preferred to read it.
00:49:35 When we fell silent,
00:49:39 What's your advice?
00:49:47 You still ought to continue
00:50:07 He died on 5th January,
00:50:11 on Saturday at 3.10 pm.
00:50:15 Between one spoonful
00:50:17 I was feeding him.
00:50:22 His veins were torn, so it was
00:50:26 The doctor said to me:
00:50:27 if you put a teaspoonful of water
00:50:34 you will hydrate him.
00:50:38 Every minute.
00:50:41 And he was patient.
00:50:45 I was sitting beside him
00:50:49 his bed in the living room.
00:50:51 A special bed, oxygen.
00:50:56 The hum of oxygen being supplied...
00:51:01 In fact, from the moment I brought him
00:51:08 on Monday, New Year's Day,
00:51:13 I was there for him all the time.
00:51:16 I slept beside him on the sofa, which
00:51:19 I said to myself:
00:51:24 He'll get better and we'll
00:51:29 I'll get through this somehow.
00:51:37 I'll never forget those five nights.
00:51:41 They were my nights.
00:52:33 What's the matter?
00:52:35 No, everything's all right.
00:52:57 Yes?
00:52:59 - Good afternoon.
00:53:01 Pretty flowers.
00:53:04 I've come to get something to read,
00:53:07 but I don't know what.
00:53:08 - Maybe something on Polish philology...
00:53:13 Halinka studies philology
00:53:16 she might like it if I was
00:53:22 She would be pleased.
00:53:25 The library's over there, but we may be
00:53:30 How about a novel?
00:53:32 A novel...
00:53:33 A novel sounds all right.
00:53:37 I don't like reading descriptions.
00:53:40 I suppose anything can be
00:53:44 When I see there are only descriptions
00:53:51 Here. Please, sit down.
00:53:53 Wait a moment.
00:54:04 How do you like this one?
00:54:10 Ashes and Diamonds
00:54:15 Do you really think that a dialogue
00:54:20 What about landscape, and our river?
00:54:27 It looks good.
00:54:31 What can one say about a river?
00:54:34 A river is a river,
00:54:39 there's nothing to talk about.
00:54:43 sweet rush...
00:54:49 Have you seen our garden? How beautiful
00:54:56 You see, when it comes to me, I know
00:55:02 It's all the same,
00:55:06 How old are you?
00:55:07 I've told you already: twenty.
00:55:13 Twenty.
00:55:16 Twenty years old.
00:55:19 It's so odd to be twenty...
00:55:22 What's odd about that?
00:55:24 Everybody's some years old.
00:55:33 Is it true they'll be repairing
00:55:39 That's right, and I volunteered
00:55:42 But do you ever go there?
00:55:45 - Are we in danger of flood?
00:55:49 And I... don't go there because
00:55:54 How come? How come there's no one?
00:55:57 Unless you would like to go
00:56:04 Me.
00:56:10 All right. Tomorrow.
00:56:18 All right then. All right.
00:56:22 - Are you free at midday? At 12?
00:56:26 Let's meet under the bridge,
00:56:31 All right.
00:58:05 Careful!
00:58:15 But be careful!
00:58:17 Madam.
00:58:22 Madam, some boy on a bicycle
00:58:26 - Tell him to wait. I'll be right there.
00:58:38 Good morning.
00:58:39 Good morning. From Waterworks.
00:58:45 Dear Madam,
00:58:47 I was so embarrassed yesterday that
00:58:51 but I'm working at that time.
00:58:54 Can you be at that hour on the beach,
00:58:58 With true respect.
00:59:01 Who wrote that for him?
00:59:03 All right, tell him I'll be there.
01:00:54 Madam.
01:01:00 Madam.
01:01:06 Madam.
01:01:22 I'm sorry I'm late.
01:01:27 So she hasn't left?
01:01:29 She didn't have money for the ticket.
01:01:31 I had to give her everything
01:01:37 I'll give you some money.
01:01:40 Really?
01:01:43 Let's go.
01:01:47 We have to pick some sweet rush.
01:01:50 - the house needs to be adorned.
01:01:58 It's the end of spring,
01:02:00 the festival of summer,
01:02:04 Everything awakens,
01:02:08 Can't you smell it?
01:02:11 How it's all breathing heavily,
01:02:19 It's the festival of life.
01:02:49 - What are you thinking about?
01:02:54 About Halina?
01:02:56 About Halina.
01:03:02 Your back's all covered in sand.
01:03:05 I'll wash it away in a moment.
01:03:14 What are you doing, Madam?
01:03:33 What are you doing?
01:03:35 You are so good.
01:03:39 Never say to any woman that she's good.
01:03:42 - What should I say, then?
01:03:51 We need to get that weed.
01:04:30 - Here, take this. I'll get some more.
01:04:36 No, it's not. If I don't get more
01:04:43 Just a moment. Let me get
01:04:47 Come on.
01:05:49 What? What's wrong with him?
01:06:00 Why is he diving?
01:06:42 Marcin, what's the matter?
01:06:51 Swim over here, gentlemen.
01:06:53 Is something wrong?
01:06:55 Madam!
01:06:58 Is something wrong?
01:07:01 We're sending a car to the other side.
01:07:08 Madam!
01:08:12 - There's a coat right next to you.
01:08:26 - Are you really You?
01:08:28 Will I get an autograph?
01:08:30 You're making a film somewhere
01:08:33 And what's it about?
01:08:43 Since 12th June we knew he was ill. He'd
01:08:47 He was doing quite well.
01:08:50 I woke up at night. He was awake.
01:08:52 Krysia, why don't we go
01:08:56 you haven't had a holiday.
01:08:59 And then I realized he didn't
01:09:02 That he wanted to be
01:09:06 I started crying.
01:09:09 He just looked at me and said:
01:09:15 I can't think about "Sweet rush"
01:09:20 Death is hovering over that text.
01:09:36 And? She's not there?
01:09:55 I love him.
01:09:59 He was my love for life and to the death
01:10:02 from the moment I understood
01:10:06 and what he was like.
01:10:11 It was always good between us.
01:10:18 We knew that we had each other,
01:10:21 Whatever happened, whatever came up.
01:10:37 I honestly don't know how
01:10:44 He knew that after a long break
01:10:47 That all the tickets were sold out.
01:10:52 He died in time for me
01:10:57 Like he always did during
01:11:09 I couldn't sleep at night
01:11:12 I was sitting by his bed.
01:11:15 He woke up about 2am. He said:
01:11:18 Edward, tell me what I should do?
01:11:23 What to do?
01:11:29 He said:
01:11:36 And then, suddenly,
01:11:40 he said:
01:11:52 I took it for a joke.
01:11:57 I always acted like this.
01:11:59 When I wanted something to disappear,
01:12:09 On Saturday I was sitting beside him,
01:12:13 happy that everyone had left.
01:12:16 Between one spoonful and another.
01:12:21 unseeing.
01:12:26 Then he sighed...
01:12:33 ...as if relieved.
01:12:42 He closed his eyes.
01:12:46 Kasia, his sister, said to me:
01:12:48 Krysia, tell me, is he dead?
01:12:56 I answered - I don't know.
01:13:00 I don't know.
01:13:05 Totally confused.
01:13:12 I kissed him and on his lips
01:13:17 I felt that he was getting cold.
01:13:26 How could I even play that night?
01:13:34 I just can't understand that.
01:15:08 Help!
01:15:11 Bogus, Bogus!
01:15:13 He's drowning over there! There...
01:15:28 - He's not here.
01:15:34 Bogus!
01:15:45 - Have you found him?
01:16:04 - Is he there?
01:16:08 More to the right...
01:16:11 - Have you got him?
01:16:16 In the middle...
01:16:21 He's here! Come over here!
01:16:25 Take him by the hand. Bogus!
01:16:30 Pull him!
01:16:51 Take him by the hands.
01:17:11 Bogus! Bogus! Get up!
01:17:13 Up with him, up, up!
01:17:17 Get up! Get up!
01:17:20 - Bogus! Bogus get up!
01:17:39 I'll go and get the fellows,
01:17:43 Wait, me too.
