It's Easter.
So what?
After Easter everything should smell nice.
And you had to steal my stuff?
In my sleep?
If you were awake, you wouldn't have given them to me.
You bet!
Ozzak!
To the shop!
Chop, chop, chop, chop, chop!
It's Easter already?
That's not much of an Easter lunch.
So you're not even fasting first?
Come on, don't be grumpy.
I'm just saying, it's Holy Saturday.
And we usually have schnitzel.
The curtains are usually hung up by now too.
I'm ironing.
Bro, you've really seen through it all.
I smell like some flower.
That's aloe vera.
Great, so I smell like some woman.
I can't go to the cesspit tonight smelling like this.
So I bust my back doing laundry and then he goes to the cesspit in it, right?
Relax, it'll definitely be some pub, right bro?
Sure.
Yeah.
That's a relief.
We're going with Metlos to check out the spring ferret fair.
Great.
And then we're going to help Ziza wash the crap wagon.
Why don't I just skip it?
It's Easter, come on.
Bro, can I go caroling by myself this year?
Out of the question.
People laugh at me that I'm always dragging my younger brother around.
You're not dragging your brother, your brother drags you.
Usually literally.
Last time the building manager had to drag you both back.
Yeah, but that was a bad year.
Just one?
She's been putting pamphlets from the alcohol treatment society in my mailbox for two years now.
As in, for you?
You're an alcoholic?
Hey.
What are you doing?
I'm doing blue ones this year.
I'll give you some of mine.
We don't need any charity.
What'll you have?
Coffee.
You drink coffee?
Yesterday at one in the morning I was washing windows and now I have to hold on till my curtains get washed a second time.
You wash them twice too?
No.
Dad wrung them out and they fell on the street.
See ya!
I'll have a quick one.
What's the rush?
I'm going to braid my love.
I've got willow branches you've never seen the likes of.
Yeah, where'd you get them?
Why?
You don't want to tell your brother, do you?
No, but Sasa learned to braid amazing stuff from willow.
I'm just starting, but I can do an Easter whip already.
Sasa, a man has to braid his own Easter whip.
But how dare he tell me that?
He said a man.
We're in the lead.
Wait, so where can Sasa go for the willow?
Simona, it's dangerous there.
Dangerous?
Really.
That guy's got carnivorous plants there.
Cheapskate.
I'm not kidding.
Bye.
Oh God.
I'm gonna spend the whole weekend listening to who's got the bigger Easter whip.
Stupid Easter.
It's not stupid.
I just can't wait for Monday.
You know, the carolers will come.
I don't care about carolers.
The main thing is Dad and my sisters are finally leaving and I can get some sleep.
You're going to pretend you're not home?
Of course.
I've already told all the boys in class I'm going to Grandma's in Vtelno.
But they'd come to your place, so why are you doing this?
They'd come to your place too.
Mom wouldn't let me open the door anyway.
She says eggs don't grow on trees.
Sis!
Lexa, sorry.
I kind of got carried away.
How many do you think he'll whip out of people with this?
Tomas, you won't believe what they gave me at the competition.
For what?
I'm the best seller of CDs with animal sounds.
Well I'll be, I never believed in animal sounds.
I kept thinking, who on earth would buy fish voices.
Someone who's told by a skilled saleswoman that the fish voices were narrated by...
Petr Narozny.
Good work.
So show me the prize.
Wow, now that's an egg.
And I've got an Easter whip for Zoran.
I wouldn't mind one of those myself.
He'll be thrilled, he loves big things.
And you're such a tiny little thing.
Easter really is great, isn't it?
I can't wait.
It's been so long since we celebrated Easter together with Zoran.
Well then, should I whip you right now, today?
No, but it wouldn't count.
Feel free to stop by on Monday.
And Zoran's southerner would still think it's for something else.
Zoran just loves carolers.
He even orders his bodyguards to smile at them.
Well, I'm not making any promises.
You don't want me to wither away, do you?
Marcelka.
Can I hold it for a moment?
Sure.
Well, at least two kilos.
Beautiful, see?
They also offered me an elephant ear plant.
And what would you do with it?
It's great for polishing crystal, but I've already got one at home.
And you won that one too?
Last year.
For selling the double CD of large mammal wind sounds.
Oh right.
Wait, what did you have to say to get someone to buy it?
Nothing.
Ozzak bought it.
What is this?
Nothing for you.
I want it.
I'll braid you a new one.
Yeah, and from what, when you've used up all the willow around here?
Sis, can't we unravel it somehow? I won't meet my quota like this.
Hey, Lexa.
Hi, Mom.
Hi.
Mom, it's even more than last year again.
Well, eggs don't grow on trees.
But three hundred, that's just too much.
Sometimes I think even Sasa would do a better job.
But Mom, I'm a girl.
And that's a reason to give up on your family?
When there's free food somewhere, we don't leave it lying there.
Are the mushrooms growing yet?
Not yet, Mom.
Then keep braiding.
Ivuska?
Yeah?
Are you going to be much longer?
I just need to iron.
I'm vacuuming for the second time because of your mess.
Well I've got newspapers here.
Damn, what a mess Ozzak made, give me that for the vacuum.
Well then pick it up yourself first, won't you?
Damn, where does Ozzak get those branches?
Hello.
Hi Iva.
Hi Lexa.
Wow, that's quite an Easter whip.
What do you want?
I came to ask if you're really not gonna be home tomorrow.
She will be.
Why wouldn't she be?
You're not going to Vtelno?
I am.
You're going to Vtelno?
Why?
You know, just normally.
I'm taking Grandma an Easter cake.
To Vtelno?
Nobody ever goes there for Easter.
No.
Iva said she always goes.
Well, now she does.
What kind of nonsense is going to Vtelno for Easter?
God, why not?
Grandma from Vtelno always goes to Libne for Easter every year.
Awesome!
Then I'll tell the boys at school too.
Sure, tell them, so Ivuska doesn't wither away there.
No, no, no, don't say anything.
I'm not going anywhere.
Jesus, Iva, please, don't be crazy.
You're not going to take an Easter cake to an empty house.
No, I won't.
So Grandma isn't going to Libne this year?
No.
Did you call her?
Yes.
So she can hear again?
Great, I'll call her right away.
Why?
Why isn't she going to Libne this year?
You think she had another fight with Maruna?
Jesus, don't call anyone.
Why not?
She won't talk to you anyway.
She recently said she can hear.
But she's not talking to anyone.
But she'll talk to me.
To no one.
But why, for God's sake?
Because nobody visits at Easter.
But you go there.
Yeah.
Well, do you get it?
No.
Goodbye then.
The botanical garden was once again visited by the Easter phantom, who last night pruned branches of the rare Babylon willow.
But this year he made a mistake.
The branches contained cocoons of the rare Cape painted moth.
If they are not returned before they hatch, the garden will file criminal charges.
Ivuska, how do you change the bags in the vacuum?
Hey.
So I found one.
It's Russian, from Russia.
Vodka?
Yeah, it's Russian vodka.
Premium.
That's the best kind.
Are you making Ozzak's Russian eggs?
Yeah, but I'll marinate them tonight.
I won't make it in time at all.
But you're going to Vtelno on Monday, right?
I hope so.
Just go, Vtelno is lovely.
The best.
What I like about you is how you keep it simple.
When I was young I'd always put on a mustache and pretend I was cousin Pepan from Moravia, just to avoid getting whipped.
And nobody noticed?
No, usually not.
But Libor.
Libor always did.
Whatever.
I wouldn't let anyone whip me at Easter, not even my husband.
Well, who's talking about Easter?
Anyway.
Just go.
Even though Lexa will miss getting an egg from you.
I made him one anyway.
Even though I didn't want to.
Thanks.
And that vodka was swiped by Horvat.
Since we're being honest.
I know.
But Ozzak won't notice anyway.
Exactly.
Bye then.
Bye.
Sasa cooked?
Yeah.
Lexa?
Only 329 to go.
Mom, you raised my quota again?
So what?
You can't raise my quota without telling me!
And you can grow up without telling me?
Why do you always make trouble?
But I have problems!
I have to get up at six, instead of an Easter whip my sister braided me this thing again.
And almost all the girls in class are going to their grandma's for Easter.
Krutova isn't going.
Titanic?
I already arranged it with her mom, she's really looking forward to it.
Mom, last time she locked me in her room.
But she gave ten eggs.
Lexa, I don't know what's wrong with you.
Who raised such a selfish kid?
Sorry.
Sasa doesn't complain and brings mushrooms too.
Just one?
Sorry.
Ozzak's gonna flip.
What?
I know where he gets those long branches.
The botanical garden.
How much did he pay?
Nothing.
I returned the cocoons and they were so thrilled they let me cut some branches too.
Great.
So you'll be making a mess here again?
On the way I ran into Sasa and she offered to braid me an Easter whip.
Ozzak's going to be surprised.
Yeah, watch out you're not the one surprised.
What?
Nothing.
Want a schnitzel?
Schnitzel?
Yeah, I've got pork and chicken.
Schnitzel for dinner?
So what?
Nothing.
Any stuffing?
No.
Shame.
I just mean, on Sundays we usually have it.
So you won't have any.
Well, since you already made it...
Who are you calling this late?
Vtelno.
Jesus.
That mom is awful.
She's been calling me since seven and still not picking up.
Maybe she just can't hear it.
But I bought her one of those blinking things for the phone.
So she doesn't see it.
But her eyesight is fine, she reads all the time.
I hope she's okay.
I'm sure.
You're going there tomorrow anyway, so you'll check on her.
Sure.
What if she's lying somewhere on the floor injured and can't get to the phone?
Dad, relax.
Grandma is fine.
You think?
I'm sure.
She's in Libne, she has nothing to worry about.
In Libne?
You think she made up with Maruna?
Definitely.
Go to bed.
You and Ozzak have a lot to do tomorrow.
That'll be Sasa.
She's bringing my Easter whip.
Sasa?
I kind of got carried away.
Oh, that one's me.
But I've got an Easter whip.
Excuse me.
Move.
But don't show off too much.
It'll end up the same as always anyway.
Bet you.
Krrr.
Wait, Ozzak, Easter without Easter cake.
Shut up about the cake, let's get whipping!
Ivuska, Dad and I are going to give you a little whipping now, but we mean well, you know that, right?
Yeah, sure.
And even though I'm the only one here with an Easter whip worth mentioning, after all, bro, he's the father.
Ivuska, happy Easter and stay healthy.
Easter, Easter, to the water, I'm a little bunny.
I ran along the water, carried a bunch of little eggs, met a little partridge...
Forget the partridge, okay?
Now me...
Of course, I'll start.
Fine.
So you don't wither away.
Easter, Easter to the...
Easter to the...
Damn it, nothing again.
I just can't bring myself to whip you.
It doesn't matter, it's fine anyway.
What good is a big Easter whip, you wimp?
Wait at the building manager's.
Hold on!
No building manager!
What is it?
Is Ozzak here?
I don't know.
I lost him on the mezzanine.
Relax, he'll find his way.
He definitely went to the building manager's on his own.
Uncle?
Is the coast clear?
What do you mean clear?
Is my brother here?
No.
Great, I'm taking the car keys.
Fine.
Uncle!
Relax, I didn't even have a single Russian egg.
What now?
Iva, we've got a problem.
What?
He's not at the building manager's.
So?
So I don't know where he is.
Neither do I, but he took the car keys.
Great, you're not in Vtelno.
If you must know.
No, wait, Iva, I need to whip you.
Forget it.
Iva.
No.
Then just give me the eggs, or I'll have to make a mark.
Sorry, someone's knocking.
The car is gone.
What do we do?
I don't know about you, but I'm going to lie down in my room.
Wait, you're not going to Vtelno?
Sorry, someone's knocking.
It's already eleven.
I've been everywhere.
At Krutova's too, I hope.
Yeah.
She wanted a kiss for each egg.
And how many did you collect?
Five.
Didn't she have more eggs?
A whole tray, but then she started sticking her tongue in my mouth.
And when I said I'd rather swallow a slug, she started crying and ate twelve of them.
Well, Lexa.
Sasa is going to have to try harder.
The mushrooms will still grow.
Exactly.
What?
Where is Ozzak?
I don't know.
He's definitely at your place.
I followed him.
Come out and give back the eggs!
Please, don't yell, my head is splitting.
Your uncle stole my husband's eggs.
I had to use pepper spray.
Ozzak!
What?
He came for the Easter whipping and I was dumb enough to let him in.
I'll come get you!
What is it?
Is that you, Mambo?
Don't play games with me, where's that egg?
Don't yell at me.
You scoundrel!
I was asleep, look, my eyes are still puffy.
Hold on!
There'll be consequences.
And Ivuska, you should clean up his room a bit.
It's full of moths.
My whole Easter is ruined.
Uncle, don't cry.
You're a man, after all.
It's the pepper spray.
Iva, we've got a problem.
Obviously, it's Easter.
Mom's not in Libne.
What?
Maruna wished me happy Easter, so I asked for Mom on the phone.
She said she's not there.
God, I hope nothing happened to Mom.
So I guess we'll drive to Vtelno.
And you're not driving, bro, I had the Russian eggs.
Is anyone here?
That's what you look like.
Lexa.
Actually, you look pretty good.
Kind of like Mom's cousin who used to visit us at Easter.
That's a cactus branch, Mom won't count that.
I don't care.
Lexa?
Yeah?
You know nobody's whipped me yet this year?
Sis, cut it out.
Come on.
But don't hit too hard.
Don't worry.
Ow.
That doesn't hurt.
I'd like to see you try.
Go ahead.
Doesn't hurt.
Ow, give it back.
Ow.
It's already past noon anyway.
Going home?
I can tell you now.
Once we get past Vtelno, Mom can see just fine.
Take a bite, that'll settle it somehow.
I just don't understand her.
I was so worried about her.
I wasn't.
And she's been sitting locked up at home every Easter for years, not answering the phone.
Eating chocolate, knitting, watching TV, and telling the whole family she's in Libne.
I don't get it.
Have some of the third-pint.
Thanks.
I'm not surprised at all, honestly, that they keep fighting.
Maybe she just got tired of all the cleaning, boiling, and baking Easter cakes, you know.
Surely that can be resolved like normal people, right?
Sure.
But those Easter cakes, bro, those were really something, weren't they?
You get it?
But I prefer Ivuska's.
Oh right, Ivuska's are great too.
You could've asked for the recipe too.
