00:00If one day the wind will bring the sound of bells,
00:18please remember my song,
00:27the song of little Veronika,
00:32the daughter of master Mateusz,
00:38who was ordered by the cruel king
00:44to ring the bell.
00:50An unusual bell, a wonderful bell,
00:56a bell of human voice.
01:02If one day the wind will bring the sound of bells,
01:14please remember my song.
01:26An ambassador from a barbaric country
01:32boasted yesterday in front of me
01:35that in his homeland, far from here,
01:38in the west,
01:40there are bells that can enchant people with their sound.
01:47Did you hear? Enchant!
01:50And I want to have a bell with a hundred times more beautiful sound
01:55than those barbaric bells.
01:57I want to have a bell with a human voice.
02:02I want to have a bell with the only sound in the world,
02:06an unforgettable sound.
02:09Do you understand?
02:11Yes, my lord.
02:13I ordered you to be brought here,
02:15because you are famous as a master of the art of casting.
02:19It would be good for you
02:21if what people say about you turned out to be true.
02:37In ten days and ten nights
02:43I want to hear the voice of the bell cast by you.
02:48I will reward you
02:51if his sound pleases my ears.
02:56If you fail,
03:00if you can't,
03:04then my minister will take care of you.
03:09Go away!
03:11Yes, my lord.
03:20Yes, my lord.
03:22Yes, my lord.
03:25Did you see how he looked?
03:28I'm watching him.
03:30My bell
03:32will be the best
03:34and the most beautiful.
03:36The whole world will hear about it.
03:38First about him,
03:41then about us.
03:45About our kingdom.
03:48About me.
03:54About me.
04:00About me.
04:16My dear flowers,
04:21it's as dry as my poor father's heart here.
04:30And you...
04:39It's as dry as my poor father's heart here.
04:49If my mother were alive...
04:55I'm hungry, Veronica.
04:57Yes, my lord.
05:00Yes, my lord.
05:10Daddy, the king wants to see you.
05:13Give him some salt.
05:17What will he say?
05:19He'll say
05:21he envies
05:23Mateusz
05:25from the bells
05:27of the king himself.
05:29Daddy, I'm afraid.
05:31Of what?
05:32They say the king told you
05:34to give the bell to the human voice.
05:37I did.
05:40They say if you don't do it,
05:42I'll kill you, daddy.
05:46We have a king like that.
05:51But I have to make the bell.
05:54What a master, Mateusz.
05:57I'll make it.
06:06I'll be back late.
06:57Mateusz,
07:01what are we going to do now?
07:05The bell? Who heard it?
07:09The dragon flew away.
07:15We're afraid.
07:19Don't be afraid.
07:22We'll make the bell
07:24that no one even dreamed of.
07:31But the human voice
07:35has to be heard.
07:38The human voice.
07:42No one has ever made such a master.
07:46And the cruel king
07:49can order us
07:52to lose.
07:53Stop it.
07:56Janek Domicha,
07:58you have to whistle in the oven.
08:01And you, old man,
08:03come with me.
08:06We have to make a different composition
08:08than always.

11:13Listen.
11:15In a certain kingdom
11:18lives a harsh
11:21but patient
11:24king.
11:26This king likes the magic of numbers
11:29and, above all, he loves the number two.
11:33Do you know, you fool,
11:34what your unspeakable happiness is?
11:38You don't?
11:39So I'll tell you.
11:42I am that king.
11:46And I swear
11:48that today
11:50I heard nothing.
11:52Do you understand?
11:53Nothing!
11:55Your king was sick
11:58and his ears were deaf
12:00to any sound.
12:03Right, minister?
12:06But because I love the number two
12:09I give you a second chance,
12:11master Matousz.
12:13I want
12:14that in ten days
12:16and ten nights
12:18the sound of your bell
12:20becomes a balsam for my ears.
12:24You must return
12:26the king's ears.
12:38Remember.
12:39Your king hates the number three.
12:44Remember.
13:15What will happen, daddy?
13:17What will happen now?
13:27I know what worries you.
13:30Matousz's daughter from the bells.
13:33How do you know who I am?
13:35A great one.
13:37Your father is a great master.
13:41The greatest master in the whole kingdom.
13:44Maybe he will find a balsam
13:47that will make the sound of the bell
13:49similar to a human voice.
13:52Maybe.
13:53But the king said
13:54that if daddy doesn't fulfill his task...
13:57Don't worry, Veronika.
14:01The king has appointed a new date.
14:06How do you know that?
14:14I don't know.
14:35Maybe I should take more silver.
14:39Silver makes
14:41a clear and clear sound.
14:44Or maybe not enough
14:46brass
14:48that makes a deeper and stronger sound.
15:05You made a mistake, Matousz.
15:07And the fire punished you.
15:09Daddy, the supper is ready.
15:11Eat when the time comes!
15:13Okay, daddy.
15:14Veronika!
15:18Come here.
15:25What's wrong?
15:26Daddy, time flies so fast.
15:29Will you make it?
15:30People say you can't make it.
15:32Don't listen to people.
15:34Your father will fulfill his task
15:36and no one will lose their hair.
15:40Daddy, if something happened to you
15:42you wouldn't want to be a Jew.
15:44Don't worry.
15:46Everything will be fine.
15:50What if you ask someone for help?
15:52What?
15:53Someone very old.
15:55What?
15:56I'm the minister.
15:57Should I ask someone for help?
16:04Go to sleep.
16:07I want to work in peace.
16:12Good night.
16:42Dear minister.
16:48Dear minister.
16:51Do you know
16:53why I like you so much?
16:55Why?
16:57Because you're a good man.
16:59You're a good man.
17:01You're a good man.
17:03You're a good man.
17:05You're a good man.
17:07You're a good man.
17:09You're a good man.
17:11I like these fish
17:13even though they're so annoying.
17:17Because they don't dress up
17:19in beautiful clothes
17:21to hide their ugliness.
17:23They're honest.
17:25Sir.
17:27Not all beauties hide their ugliness.
17:30No.
17:32Not all.
17:34But what about the other one?
17:36It's interesting, dear minister.
17:38Do you belong to the first
17:40or the second?
17:42But, but...
17:45What about the second
17:47and the last attempt
17:49of our master Mateusz?
17:51Do you have any news for me?
17:53Yes. He's trying very hard.
17:55I'd like you to see this, sir.
18:06He's trying hard.
18:11And he's afraid.
18:13That's good.
18:15Very good.
18:17The artist must be driven
18:19by the vision of death.
18:21Yes, sir.
18:23Driven by the vision of death.
18:26Besides,
18:28not only the artist.
18:30Right,
18:32minister?
18:41Leave me alone!
18:43Leave me alone!
18:45Leave me alone!
19:11In the meadow
19:13rose
19:15again
19:17in the great
19:19palace
19:21on the
19:23high
19:25golden throne
19:27the king
19:29sat down
19:31and waited.
19:33The king
19:35sat down
19:37and waited.
19:40and waited.
19:42and waited.
20:01Dad!
20:07Don't worry.
20:09It's you, sir.
20:11Let me go.
20:13I have to go to my dad.
20:15The bell has a bad voice again.
20:17I'm hungry, Veronika.
20:24Take it.
20:26It's not worth much,
20:28but you'll get something to eat.
20:30Veronika!
20:33Let your heart
20:35feel comfort.
20:37This is the third attempt,
20:39but also the last.
20:41How do you know that?
20:43They wouldn't let you in the royal court.
20:48The king,
20:50my dear Veronika,
20:52does nothing without a reason.
20:58But what will happen to my dad?
21:00Don't worry.
21:02Your father is a great artist,
21:04but this time
21:06he'll need more than metal.
21:37Dad...
21:41Why don't you sleep, Veronika?
21:43Dad, I'd like to help you so much.
21:46I know a guy
21:48a strange old man.
21:50He knows everything.
21:52If you really want to help me,
21:54go to sleep.
21:56Dad, that old man...
21:58If you want to go to the spring with me...
22:00Enough!
22:07A human heart,
22:09a heart capable
22:11of the highest sacrifice,
22:13needs to ring,
22:15to hum,
22:17to laugh at the human voice.
22:37To the Prince of Wales
22:53So this is how you are going to pray?
22:55My dear ancestor...
22:58You are the brother of fire,
23:00his master.
23:02So this is how you are supposed to pray?
23:04I'm not a good father, but I'll do it for you.
23:09You'll never get her for any price.
23:14You'll never get her in your hands.
23:35Forgive me.
23:38I couldn't love you the way I should.
23:45Goodbye.
24:04Goodbye.
24:23What's wrong with you, Mateusz?
24:28If we don't make it, you'll die.
24:35Why don't we try other ways?
24:41Master, aren't you afraid at all?
24:47Father, don't worry.
24:52I don't understand you.
24:54I told you to do your own thing.
24:57As you wish, Mateusz.
25:03The heart of human need.
25:09You'll never get it.
25:19Master Mateusz.
25:22Welcome, sir.
25:24Be quiet and listen.
25:27Tomorrow there will be a member of the Barbarians.
25:33He wants to hear the bell.
25:37If we don't make it tomorrow, I've prepared another attraction for him.
25:43Your execution.
25:46I hope you'll have a good voice.
25:52See you tomorrow.
25:58Tomorrow at eight.
26:03Yes, sir.
26:07Only the night is left.
26:10How will you help me?
26:13Let your heart rest in peace, Veronika.
26:18I know you're afraid of your beloved father.
26:23It's a difficult task.
26:26I'm afraid my father still doesn't know who I am.
26:32Tomorrow, the bell will ring again
26:36on the main square in front of the King and the Barbarians.
26:42Tomorrow at dawn, your father will ring the bell for the third and last time.
26:48It's a difficult task.
26:52You'll have to do it.
26:58It's a difficult task,
27:01because in order for the bell to ring and sing in a human voice,
27:07you have to arrange the steps according to the ancient rule.
27:13So what? What do you need?
27:17A heart.
27:20A human heart is needed.
27:23What do you mean, a heart?
27:26A loving human heart.
27:29A heart capable of the highest sacrifices.
27:35Do you understand now?
27:56I love you.
28:26I love you.
28:29I love you.
28:52Veronika?
28:56Veronika, what are you doing here at this hour, child?
29:02I came to say goodnight, father.
29:05You should sleep.
29:07Stop it, my dear Mateusz, stop it.
29:11Take it easy, child.
29:13It's afraid, too.
29:22Are you afraid?
29:25No, I'm not afraid.
29:28After all, you're the best knight in the kingdom.
29:40Run home.
29:44We have to bring more wood.
29:47We'll take you away on the way.
29:49Just kiss the old man on the cheek.
30:05Veronika.
30:07Kaganek.
30:19Kaganek.
30:40A heart.
30:42A human heart is needed.
30:45I'm ready.
31:16I love you.
31:20I love you.
31:45I love you.
32:04Veronika?
32:15Kaganek.
32:45Kaganek.
33:15Kaganek.
33:24Dear father, forgive me all my sins and shortcomings.
33:29I know that not only silver and brass are needed for your bell to ring.
33:35Don't worry about anything and sometimes remember your daughter
33:39when you hear the bell ring in the morning.
33:42Yours, Veronika.
34:12I love you.
34:16I love you.
34:20I love you.
34:50I love you.
34:54I love you.
35:20I love you.
35:24I love you.
35:50I love you.
35:56Oh, come on!
35:58You have no shame!
36:01How can you yell at someone who has been with us for so many days and nights?
36:07Let them begin.
