She is a princess. A real one, not like those in stories. She has pretty hair, and face, and eyes. She is the best, prettiest person in the world. She's so smart that everybody must do what she says. Even me. This is Paulina, my sister. She is a princess. And me? I'm Malgosia. Hey, what are you doing here? Who's going to pay for all that? Are you alone? What's your name? [mumbles] Malgosia. Malgosia? Is there anybody with you? There you are, Malgosia. Thank you so much, sir, for taking care of my sister. Sometimes I just can't manage it. Thank you! Malgosia, stand up. Stand up, Malgosia. Say thank you. [mumbles] Thank you. I really can't thank you enough. Well... It's no big deal. See? Princess Hello, Malgosia! Hi! How was your day? [mumbles] Good. What have you been doing today? Drawing and painting? Great. The dinner is almost ready. The soup is cooking, the meat is in the oven. When father comes home, we're going to a support group meeting. Take care of Malgosia, all right? Gosh, how the time is flying! I hope I don't miss my appointment with the doctor. Bye, Malgosia. Take care, sweetheart. And do what Paulina says. - Bye, girls. - Bye. - Oh. Hello, Lukasz. - Good afternoon. That's my boyfriend. This is a cool ball. Do you want to play it? [mumbles] Yes. [mumbles] My boyfriend. I'll get you a real football. Come on. Are you finished? Hurry up! You're beautiful already. Come on! I have to do the other eye. In a hurry to get to the Chemistry class, are you? Absolutely. Who will finish this problem? But we haven't covered that! Really? You can't learn Chemistry by rote. You have to think! And I can't think for you. Any volunteers? Or should I choose one myself? If nobody wants to do it, I will have to pick someone. Paulina! I can try. Correct. See? Thinking doesn't hurt. Why, it was quite simple. Did she explain that? Yes, last time. I don't remember that. You must have been talking with Monika. Do you remember the presentation? I'm counting on you. Of course, Miss, I will do my best. It's almost ready. Just a few wrinkles to iron out... "Youth Centre. Get Discovered." Very good... You have an individual approach to the topic. The depth is all right. The shadows should be refracting somewhere here. That's right. Just tweak it a bit, and it will be perfect. As usual. Why so stiff? Look, dear, you draw with this, not with that. Maybe you should ask yourself whether you want to draw in the first place... Well done. What's your favourite colour, Malgosia? [mumbles] Blue. Blue? So, shall we draw some clouds here? Yes. Here you go. Now we will colour the clouds. Very nice. Hi, girls! Hi, mom. What are you drawing, honey? Show me. It's very pretty. And this is a cloud, right? I'm so proud of you. It's a beautiful cloud. Here you are. Thank you. You know, Paulina, the teacher praises you a lot. If you don't slip up, you will win the scholarship. But... I want to show you something. That B in History... I know it's not a bad mark... But you can do better. I've already signed up for a retake. That's good. That's very good. „My Town". You have one month. Use whatever technique you like. I'm counting on you. He just hates me. You're exaggerating. Paulina, you're always worried before a test, and then you always get an A! Just ignore drawing and show him that you're the best. Exactly, who's my supergirl? Malgosia! Malgosia! Hello? She's missing! I don't know. She left home, I haven't noticed that! I don't know! Ok. Will you go away, you dog? You really need to watch your troll better. Everybody laughs at me... What were you doing? You can't even take care of a child properly. Are you that busy? What if she'd got on a train or a bus?! You know that you have to think for both of you. Paulina, I counted on you! Are we really expecting that much of you? Look at me! All you have to do is to study and look after her. I thought you were mature... Mature enough to be trusted. And you... It's hopeless! She must have been busy talking to Lukasz, as always! Sometimes I wish I had Down syndrome! Come on, it'll be fun. I can't. The chemistry test is tomorrow. I have to study. Oh, come on. Will you leave me alone at the stand? Not alone. You will be with Malgosia. ...We will go there one day. Lukasz is our football player, right? It's for you. [mumbles] Thanks. Do you love me? Sure thing. [mumbles] I love you. [mumbles] Coffee? No, thank you. [mumbles] Coffee? I said no thanks. I'm not thirsty. [mumbles] Coffee? Can't you see I'm busy?! I'm trying to draw that damn jug! I'm sorry. There, now. Will you help me? [mumbles] Yes. We have to draw that jug. My sister can do anything, because she's a princess. But sometimes I have to help her. Now we will draw the jug. That damn jug. ...Ok. What time? - Sometime in the evening. - All right. Bye! Don't worry. That hippo of yours was quite cute and looked almost like the vase. Gosh, I've left my mobile phone inside. Excuse me. Bye. You've caught me red-handed. I'm sorry. I should've knocked. What's the matter? I'm practicing a lot at home, and I wanted to show you some sketches... If you have a moment. Show me what you've got. The chromatic dominant... The composition... They are too... Were you drawing this one in the dark? Yes... This one's good. Not perfect, but good. Maybe... Maybe pencil restrains you, maybe try colour instead... Yes, you should definitely do this kind of thing. It's good. But this is... What? No, it's nothing. What do you mean? I came for you, I wanted this to be a surprise. It was. - Hi, Lukasz. - Hi. Oh, and don't come on Saturday. We will be out. [mumbles] Get up for school! [mumbles] Go to school! [mumbles] Get up for school! It's Saturday. No school today. [mumbles] Is it warm? Yeah, it's warm. [mumbles] Go to school! Jump in. [mumbles] I love you. Yeah, I know. It's Saturday! Get up and get dressed! Come on! [mumbles] Is it warm? Get your things, we're going home! Get a move on! This is my sister. She is a princess. It's very good. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed. People, remember about the deadline. I will wait for the late-comers till 3 p.m. tomorrow afternoon. Oh, and don't forget to bring a sealed envelope with your personal details and your symbol. Obviously, put the same symbol on your drawing. You're not taking part? No, I don't think so... Yeah, maybe it's just as well... Hi. Hi. I don't know what I've done wrong, but I do apologise. Come with me. You won't understand. It's like I know it, I just get it... I can see that picture in my head... But when I start drawing or painting, it seems like my hand wasn't mine anymore. It moves so stiffly... And everything turns out all wrong. You start with a beautiful vision, and you get nothing but doodles. I wish I could doodle like that. I said you wouldn't understand. Did I make it? It's five to three... I didn't expect anyone this late. I've made it! PRINCESS "Local Art Competition" And now it's time to announce the winner of our competition. Let me give the microphone to Stanislaw Wczesny, an artist and head of the judges. Let me emphasise that all of the prize-winning works have a lot of artistic merit. Nevertheless, the judges have unanimously decided to award the first prize to... Paulina Wirska! For her individual approach, for freshness of the idea, and the courage! Congratulations! Paulina, I'm very happy for you. My congratulations. My warmest congratulations. Congratulations, Paulina. Are you all right? Yes. I'm ok. Too many emotions... ...for a little treat prepared by the parents. Couldn't he come and bring Malgosia with him? No, Malgosia hates crowds. And my parents had to go somewhere. It's a real pity. Here you go. Try that, it's delicious. Wait a second. This is Paulina, my sister She is a princess. Everybody likes and respects her. Some people envy her. But she just doesn't care. Because she is the prettiest and the best. And me? I am Malgosia. Starring Cast translated / tłumaczenie: Anna Borowska Special thanks to our families and to everybody who supported us!
