An offence to the memory of our ancestors. 00:50:06.732 --> 00:50:08.879 Although on the other hand, 00:50:09.295 --> 00:50:15.670 what makes any Soldams better than those builders, 00:50:16.962 --> 00:50:21.420 who do actually need this land? 00:50:25.842 --> 00:50:31.004 Anu, I think we should keep this house for Katrin. 00:50:32.052 --> 00:50:34.462 Katrin is coming tomorrow, she can decide for herself. 00:50:34.722 --> 00:50:39.670 Leave the fate of Taose to a child? - She's no longer a child. 00:50:41.922 --> 00:50:46.295 This is reckless, we may lose the house this way. 00:50:47.879 --> 00:50:50.170 It's already lost. 00:51:01.222 --> 00:51:05.379 I don't see why she came here to upset an old woman. 00:51:06.072 --> 00:51:11.295 She's a relative. - She's a stranger to our family. 00:51:11.670 --> 00:51:14.004 Always has been and always will be. 00:51:14.412 --> 00:51:17.837 And she hates us. - Mum, you're exaggerating. 00:51:18.045 --> 00:51:21.045 No, it's the truth. 00:51:21.372 --> 00:51:28.337 I didn't make her life hell at ours. - You're saying I did? 00:51:31.129 --> 00:51:38.087 Oh, poor auntie Aita. She could have lived for much longer. 00:51:39.420 --> 00:51:46.545 But the coffee, the blood sausage... - Yes, the blood sausage, truly. 00:51:47.670 --> 00:51:50.962 She'd better look after her daughter. 00:52:17.754 --> 00:52:19.462 She didn't come. 00:52:21.254 --> 00:52:23.254 Perhaps she'll come by bus. 00:52:25.322 --> 00:52:30.462 All right, dad, you go back.

I can't remember. 00:53:08.562 --> 00:53:13.337 During the war, we didn't have time to contemplate anyone's last words. 00:53:13.632 --> 00:53:17.212 I guess they tended to be too crude for print. 00:53:18.337 --> 00:53:25.087 Everyone knows Goethe's last words, but auntie Aita's are lost to us. 00:53:25.382 --> 00:53:30.920 Why? - I was so scared, had to go find a telephone. 00:53:51.292 --> 00:53:54.962 The last one shuts the door. - I only wanted to check. 00:53:55.087 --> 00:53:58.379 Where are you going? - I'm not going anywhere, my daughter Katrin... 00:53:58.545 --> 00:54:02.545 In that case, please leave. I need to get to Valga on schedule. 00:54:02.712 --> 00:54:08.379 Please leave, if you're not going anywhere. I can't just wait around. 00:54:15.482 --> 00:54:20.712 You just have to get used to verbal abuse ever increasing in time. 00:54:21.542 --> 00:54:26.962 As cities grow, ever more abusers emerge, like mushrooms after rain. 00:54:29.629 --> 00:54:35.254 Auntie Aita lived a long life, but we never heard a cruel word from her. 00:54:35.322 --> 00:54:39.087 Oh, I remember now, she talked of her mother's death. 00:54:39.504 --> 00:54:44.337 And then she said: "I've got old, become a chatterbox." 00:54:44.754 --> 00:54:49.712 I thought so. Simple people leave with simple words. 00:54:50.072 --> 00:54:56.254 She usually went to bed early, but then I came, we ate a lot. 00:54:56.552 --> 00:55:00.629 Perhaps her death really is my fault? - Don't be silly. 00:55:00.992 --> 00:55:06.170 It happened so suddenly. - Yes, and you happened to be there. 00:55:06.962 --> 00:55:13.962 Better let's discuss where Katrin is. - Maybe she didn't get the telegram. 00:55:14.379 --> 00:55:18.712 How old is she now? - 16. 00:55:19.004 --> 00:55:21.795 That's a dangerous age. 00:56:05.170 --> 00:56:11.330 Would you like a drink? - No, I'm driving straight back to Tartu. 00:56:11.354 --> 00:56:17.170 Yes, of course. - Perhaps you could give me a ride? - Yes, why not. 00:56:25.795 --> 00:56:31.587 Anu, dear, you don't have any flowers? Take some hydraneas from inside. 00:58:24.629 --> 00:58:26.337 Anu. 00:58:29.675 --> 00:58:34.045 You're really leaving? - Yes, I'm worried about Katrin. 00:58:34.379 --> 00:58:36.462 Anu... 00:58:40.962 --> 00:58:43.420 You must be very tired? 00:58:44.402 --> 00:58:48.837 You already asked me that.

Writing your doctoral thesis? 00:58:57.420 --> 00:59:05.420 Is this the place to talk about it? - I guess you're right. 00:59:06.812 --> 00:59:12.420 I just wanted to hear something good. - We often talk about you. - I know. 00:59:13.112 --> 00:59:16.462 The wall behind the heater is still thin, Tõnis. 00:59:19.754 --> 00:59:25.045 You overheard what we said? Well, you know, mum... 00:59:28.122 --> 00:59:34.170 I was so glad to hear your voice, Anu, but I was afraid to meet you. 00:59:36.412 --> 00:59:40.879 Me too. A lot of time has passed. 00:59:41.242 --> 00:59:45.587 But we two are still the same and nothing will change. 00:59:49.762 --> 00:59:55.545 Anu, I'm still hoping. We'll talk, yes? 00:59:57.212 --> 01:00:02.254 No, Tõnis. Let things be as they are. 01:00:04.837 --> 01:00:06.920 Farewell. 01:00:27.612 --> 01:00:31.295 How is your daughter doing? In good health? 01:00:32.292 --> 01:00:36.837 Oh, you are... - You didn't recognise me? 01:00:37.754 --> 01:00:42.295 I knew I knew you, but I couldn't exactly place you. 01:00:42.792 --> 01:00:47.754 It has been 16 years, after all. How time flies. 01:00:49.862 --> 01:00:55.754 You must be tired? - Yes, I'm going to have a sauna and then go to bed. 01:00:55.952 --> 01:00:58.545 Shame I don't have a bath at home. 01:00:59.342 --> 01:01:03.920 I do apologise. I've got old, become a chatterbox. 01:01:11.602 --> 01:01:16.504 I lied. Vootele wanted to know auntie Aita's last words. 01:01:16.822 --> 01:01:23.420 Like people know Goethe's last words. - Yes, "More light, more light!" 01:01:24.420 --> 01:01:30.504 What did Aita say? - "Snow's sliding off the roof", her last words. 01:01:31.612 --> 01:01:34.587 Snow's sliding off the roof... 01:01:35.295 --> 01:01:42.379 Why did we turn? - Let's pop by my summerhouse. It has a sauna. 01:01:42.504 --> 01:01:46.212 Dear heavens, no need for that, I was just making conversation. 01:01:47.812 --> 01:01:52.920 Never mind then. - I'm worried about Katrin, she didn't come to the funeral. 01:01:53.170 --> 01:01:57.504 It'll only take a few minutes for my wife to gather our things. 01:02:05.862 --> 01:02:12.420 Odd, I didn't ask her to heat it. Maybe we still could have a sauna. 01:02:54.254 --> 01:02:57.295 You're here? So soon? 01:02:57.587 --> 01:03:01.420 Where's your mother? - She left. 01:03:02.652 --> 01:03:07.504 We studied hard, now we're relaxing a little. 01:03:08.912 --> 01:03:14.212 I wouldn't go there if I was you. - What are they doing in my room? 01:03:18.920 --> 01:03:24.545 You could have a sauna, eh? I could get my mates out for a bit. 01:03:36.920 --> 01:03:38.545 Hello. 01:03:42.212 --> 01:03:43.962 Hello. 01:03:50.254 --> 01:03:52.087 Here you go. 01:03:55.337 --> 01:04:00.504 Take him away.
