TEACHER
(talking to the flower)
You are so beautiful…
The flower in the glass begins to transform. The white nenufare seems to move, it opens its petals a bit more.
Droplets of water shine on its petals. Those are either droplets or blue eyes of a woman
TEACHER
(breathing the air with his nose)
What is this, a fragrance?
The nenufare no longer floats helplessly in the glass of water, but sways proud on its high stem, but this is no longer the stem, but a slim woman’s body (aka Countess Maria)
She has a pale face with big sad eyes and pale pink lips. Her golden hair falls in beautiful waves upon her breasts.
Her figure sways softly and with every movement grows bigger and bigger until becomes a normal woman, yet her body stays translucent.
Now she floats on air from the table. The room is filled with inaudible sounds.
Her figure as if floats on air. She comes closer and closer; soon she sways beside the teacher’s bed, whispering something. She leans over him. She stretches out her arms, as if begging for something
TEACHER
(pushes the ghost aside with his hands)
No! No!
A crash and sound of breaking glass are heard in the room.
EXT-WITCHES” VALLEY – SAME SUMMER NIGHT
The fog band moves away from the open window of the bedroom towards the Witches’ Valley. In the moonlight it seems magical glow.
INT – TEACHER’S BEDROOM – SAME NIGHT
Frightened Mina appears in the room. The teacher sits in the bed and looks at the sister.
The broken glass decanter lies on the floor next to the bed in a puddle of water
MINA
(grumbling)
Why shouting, you have broken the decanter!
The teacher looks at the desk suspiciously: the nenufare dies helplessly in its glass. The teacher mops his brow slowly
TEACHER
(smiles, embarrassed)
Only a dream.
MINA
(picks up the pieces from the floor)
Scared to death.
INT – TEACHER’S BEDROOM IN THE TEACHER’S HOUSE-MORNING
There is no nenufare in the glass on the desk anymore. The teacher looks at the empty glass half awake
TEACHER
May it be a spirit of a suicide?
INT-DINING ROOM IN THE TEACHER’S HOUSE – SAME MORNING
The teacher enters the dining room on the ground floor. Mina puts dishes for breakfast on the table
TEACHER
Mina, have you seen the flower in my bedroom?
MINA
(puts the dishes)
The faded one? I’ve thrown it away.
TEACHER
(sits at the table)
Pity, I got used to it.
MINA
(stops and looks at her brother)
You are pale in the morning.
TEACHER
Just sleepy.
MINA
(continues putting the dishes)
You know, Heinrich has become an assistant to the church watchman.
TEACHER
Ah…
MINA
(puts pies in front of the brother)
Eat, I’ve baked in the morning.
She sits down in front of him, pours out tea
TEACHER
(bites off a pie)
My favourite. Thank you.
MINA
(pours out tea)
Maria is glad that Heinrich was found. Truly speaking, he has become odd. Silent. So the old church watchman invited him. The watchman is strange, has planted garlic everywhere in the garden.
She gives a cup of tea to the brother
TEACHER
(takes the cup from her hands)
I should go and see Heinrich.
MINA
Go-go. It won’t be bad.
She puts a pie on her saucer.
EXT – WITCHES” VALLEY – SUMMER NIGHT OF THE SAME DAY
The teacher stands in the Witches’ Valley near the water, on the lakeshore.
Mist rises over the lake, taking on different forms: now the white cloud takes shapes of a lady with nenufares in her hair.
And now nenufares on the water surface open their petals, fireflies float over them.
Blossomed trees, growing near here, give their white petals to the wind.
White snowstorm of petals whirls in the air over the lake and the schoolteacher’s head
