Great Moments In 21th Century Film/"Miluju tebe."

Once is an Irish film from 2007 starring Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová. Glen plays a struggling musician who falls in love with Markéta, a Czech immigrant who has a daughter and an absent husband that she does not connect with. There's a scene where Glen asks Markéta how to say, "Do you love him?" in Czech. She tells him, and then he asks her. Her response, which the film leaves untranslated, is "Miluju tebe." She doesn't tell him what it means, but it translates to: "It is you I love."

In a music shop in Dublin they play one of his songs together, a song called "Falling Slowly". It is their most intimate moment.
