RHANOR'UN DEHLİZİ

1
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,197
The Red Army's most powerful
and westerly located garrison

2
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,397
was in Legnica, Poland.
In the nineteen-sixties,

3
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:58,991
the Soviet soldiers and civilians
quartered in Legnica made up almost

4
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,596
half of the town's population.
It was then that Legnica

5
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:06,719
came to be known as
"Little Moscow".

6
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:17,716
Any similarity to persons or events
that actually took place in Legnica

7
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,753
is exclusively a similarity.

8
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,993
LlTTLE MOSCOW

9
00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:39,551
starring

10
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,193
Your wife has arrived,
comrade Captain..

11
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,750
To the headquarters!. Now!.

12
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:37,115
- Maybe I'll give her a lift?
- No need. My wife enjoys a walk.

13
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,792
- So how is it going there?
- What?

14
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,191
- So how is it going?
- The Czechs just cry and

15
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:23,076
call on Lenin for help. You stamp
your foot they put their hands up.

16
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:27,756
They wanted war, so now they have it!
We did warn them!

17
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,071
Comrade Colonel...

18
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,239
Vera's dead!

19
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,990
- What?
- Vera is dead.

20
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:02,870
Vera Fiodorovna Swietlowa
1 943-1 968

21
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:14,035
Maintenance of a grave may be paid
for a period of 20 years.

22
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:18,631
- How much does it cost?
- 454 zloties.

23
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:24,032
- In dollars?
- Almost 1 60.

24
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,119
I understand.
My daughter is arriving today,

25
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:33,233
we will discuss it, and tomorrow
we'll come to sign the papers.

26
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:35,029
Thank you.

27
00:04:35,280 --> 00:04:40,877
- Maybe he could decipher this letter?
- Right! I read Russian quite well,

28
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:45,989
but this woman has such handwriting
that I can't make head or tail of it.

29
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:47,913
I'll try.

30
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,550
Alexandra Matwiejewna Gorczikova.
I knew her.

31
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:57,118
She was a nurse in our hospital.
Money...

32
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,758
An angel to the newborn children.

33
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:06,674
"Good people.

34
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:11,869
I have two requests. My only son,
Styopa lies in your cemetery.

35
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:18,070
Please maintain my little boy's grave -
until his sister is grown to earn money.

36
00:05:18,280 --> 00:05:19,838
Now the second request.

37
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:24,517
Please engrave an Orthodox cross
on Styopa's headstone.

38
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,269
Deep, so that it remains visible
for a long time.

39
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,355
I am sending you 1 0 dollars for this.

40
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:40,478
I am sure you're good folk
and won't cheat me.

41
00:05:42,840 --> 00:05:46,276
Thank you for your help in advance.

42
00:05:47,280 --> 00:05:50,113
Whenever I remember Legnica
I cry at once".

43
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:54,075
But what can we do for 1 0 dollars?

44
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,474
Hardly enough for a vodka
for the stonemason.

45
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:04,476
I'll check the documents for tomorrow.
What was the name of the buried?

46
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,232
Vera Fiodorovna Swietlova.

47
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:14,912
You are her...
What is your relation to the deceased?

48
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:17,953
Husband.

49
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,437
You remember her?

50
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:29,879
Yes...

51
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:32,912
I do.

52
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,353
Why have we stopped?
What's happened?

53
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,558
Nothing.
We are waiting to enter Legnica.

54
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,509
- We're in Poland already?
- Don't touch the window.

55
00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:59,592
It's forbidden!

56
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:05,234
You'll be seeing more than enough
of Poland over the next five years.

57
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:11,589
At least you're rested after a good
sleep. Although if I was your husband,

58
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,794
- I wouldn't let you get much sleep!
- Get away, you!

59
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,552
- You heard?
- Sure I did. Put that on.

60
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:37,359
He's right. The whole train knows
that I have the prettiest wife...

61
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:42,148
-... among the pilots.
- No, in the whole of Legnica.

62
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,033
Close the gate!

63
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,960
- Captain Svetlov.
- Private on Duty.

64
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:19,395
This way.

65
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,430
- Nice place.
- Watch out!

66
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:28,115
The comrade from the last tour
of duty made his room a midden.

67
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,432
But don't worry. By tomorrow,
everything will be in order.

68
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:36,159
You'll have the cleanest
and prettiest house on the street.

69
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:37,714
I hope so.

70
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:40,910
- You here, too?
- Yes.

71
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:45,193
I wonder how many of us
there are to share this place.

72
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,756
You - all four on the first floor.
A medical Captain

73
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,754
on the second floor;,
he arrives on the next transport.

74
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,799
You've got it good.

75
00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:01,951
Even if you have five children,
you'll still be living in a palace.

76
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:19,436
This night you'll stay in our place.
You are invited!

77
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:27,271
The? inte?rcity train
from Be?rlin Hauotbahnhof

78
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:32,675
to Cracow Main Station
is arriving on track 7., olatform 3.

79
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,479
The? train le?ave?s at 4 :. 2 1.

80
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:46,198
I re?oe?at:
the? train le?ave?s at 4 : 2 1...

81
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:58,038
- Welcome. How was the trip?
- Fine.

82
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:00,519
Shall we go?

83
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:07,075
How are things in the company?
Get on well with the Germans?

84
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:11,353
They must get on well with me.
We have the gas...

85
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:16,991
Dad, I sent you two new pairs
of pants, why didn't you put them on?

86
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:21,558
Do they have any taxis in this village?
Or are we going by bus?

87
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,315
- Don't show off.
- We are to live and look like proles,

88
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,074
to suit your style and complexes!

89
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:34,110
- They do have taxis here.
- What do they have?

90
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:38,638
Look at you, a defender of Poles!
All they own they've stolen. From the

91
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:43,197
- Germans or us! Certainly their cars!
- The Germans told you that?

92
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,676
Your wife, Vera Fiodorovna,
in a dream..

93
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,512
- Aren't you getting out?
- I can see well from here.

94
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:13,833
Nice place.

95
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,233
Why are you staring at me?
Something's wrong?

96
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:25,632
Your mom said exactly the same,
the first time we saw it.

97
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:30,271
I can see that, your happiness
did not last long in this nice place.

98
00:13:01,560 --> 00:13:06,190
And now the final contestant
in our October competition,

99
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:11,033
dedicated to the anniversary
of the Great Lenin's Revolution.

100
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,595
Vera Fiodorovna Svetlova.

101
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:34,030
- Yura! Vera speaks Polish?
- I didn't know myself.

102
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,954
Congratulations.
Your wife sings beautifully.

103
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:26,189
Please tell us before
we announce our verdict

104
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:31,469
how come you sang a Polish song
and what's more, in Polish?

105
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,835
I heard Ewa Demarczyk
on a Polish radio program

106
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:39,316
back home in Russia.
From that day on I began

107
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:44,150
to keep track of her.
I'm a great fan of hers, simply...

108
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:50,639
Where I learned to sing in Polish?
Also from the radio.

109
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,392
It's good to know
one's neighbor's language.

110
00:15:55,880 --> 00:16:00,158
By the unanimous verdict of the jury
I can now announce you

111
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:04,029
the winner of our
international competition

112
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:08,319
"Melodies of Friendship".
The prize, a large Silver Broach,

113
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,034
will be presented
by Lieutenant

114
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:15,558
Michal Janicki,
our best music specialist.

115
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,194
Michal?

116
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,949
Applause, please!

117
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,030
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.

118
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,996
May I ask her for a dance?

119
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:47,830
- May l?
- Of course.

120
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,312
Watch out,
they might steal your wife.

121
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,353
She makes many
a man's mouth water.

122
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,273
How does my name
sound in Russian?

123
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:09,634
Misha.

124
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,032
Then please call me that.
"Dear Misha".

125
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:20,195
Or for example;.
Misha, what a great dancer you are...

126
00:18:24,360 --> 00:18:27,796
Dear Misha,
you should open a.school.

127
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,075
Yes, of dancing and singing.

128
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,596
And I already know who will be
the first teacher.

129
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:37,953
You...

130
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:41,676
the master of waltz.

131
00:18:43,360 --> 00:18:46,636
I was thinking more
of a school of seduction.

132
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,559
And I most certainty don't intend
to be a teacher or pupil in it.

133
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,433
Could you accompany me
back to my husband now?

134
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,596
No need. I came myself.

135
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:59,999
- Verashka, will you dance again?
- Naturally.

136
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,273
- If the Lieutenant agrees.
- Naturally.

137
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:05,829
Thank you.

138
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,596
Please, take a seat.

139
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,030
- My wife.
- Nane.

140
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:27,118
- Excuse me?
- Nane.

141
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,709
- Pleased to meet you.
- Misha.

142
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:31,714
Misha...

143
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:36,518
Cheers!

144
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,193
- Shall we dance?
- With pleasure.

145
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:56,958
Go, naturally.

146
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,674
Open the door you fucking Soviet!

147
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,111
- Did you check the corner window?
- I did.

148
00:20:16,360 --> 00:20:19,079
I checked them all, comrade.
We can't get. out.

149
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:23,592
Fuck!

150
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:31,628
Is it true that all Poles are Catholics?
Formally, in churches?

151
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,908
- Almost all.
- And you?

152
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:37,672
Yes, me too. Are you?

153
00:20:38,120 --> 00:20:42,989
Before most Armenians were
just like you. But not any more.

154
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,630
- Do you have any family?
- I'm a bachelor...

155
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,877
Not in that sense.
Parents, a sister...

156
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:53,470
I have a mother.
My father was killed...

157
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:59,076
- Is she catholic too?
- A 1 20 percent.

158
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:04,034
Must we now talk about how religion
is the opium of the masses

159
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,590
and that the science
proved God doesn't exist?

160
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:11,639
Sorry,
my little hero is kicking terribly.

161
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:16,074
Excuse me.

162
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,349
- Sajat.
- Is everything all right?

163
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,438
- Everything is fine.
- What happened?

164
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,273
Have a seat.

165
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:26,879
Sit down.

166
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:28,479
Please.

167
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:31,916
Let's have a drink.

168
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:33,874
I can't.

169
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,996
- Sick?
- On duty with Sajat.

170
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,039
Than let's drink for those on duty.

171
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:48,352
- Jura, it's enough.
- Vera, so for those on duty.

172
00:21:59,960 --> 00:22:02,838
- Lieutenant, I must...
- One mo.ment.

173
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:05,669
Excuse me.

174
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:11,598
Ooe?n the? door

175
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:16,112
I won't kill you! I'm not the NKWD
Soviet Secret Police from Katyn!

176
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:20,279
Marynia is resting nearby, Captain,
this is the men's hall.

177
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,910
Hold your tongue about Katyn,
or we'll all be arrested!

178
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:25,956
What's he done to you?

179
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:30,955
I'll kick your ass if you don't know
what for fuck the Russkis did to us!

180
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,828
You don't know
what that fuckers did to us?

181
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:50,276
You can come in now,
you Polish so called "friend".

182
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:55,279
Move over.

183
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,072
What are you doing?

184
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,477
Sorry, comrade Captain,
I didn't know what's going on.

185
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:19,076
I just defended myself.
Bend your head back...

186
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:25,556
Bend your own back! Allies!
To hell with the lot of you!

187
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,994
- Captain. Towel.
- Go to hell!

188
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:36,156
Tomorrow my command
will want a full report

189
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:43,792
on your Polish officer's aggressive
behavior towards the officers

190
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,311
and soldiers of the Red Army!
Is that clear?

191
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:52,357
I don't know anything about that.
I came in and... it happened.

192
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:57,596
We will meet again, Lieutenant.
And I would strongly advise you

193
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,553
to be careful.
As usual the Poles

194
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:05,073
are getting too cock
sure of themselves!

195
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:08,597
- Car, quickly!
- Yes, sir!

196
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:13,112
- The ball has already ended...
- How come?

197
00:24:15,360 --> 00:24:18,511
I want to dance. Let's dance.

198
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:27,318
Get up.

199
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:29,759
Good morning.

200
00:24:32,360 --> 00:24:33,475
Let me help you.

201
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:40,278
You got my husband drunk
and look at him!

202
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,831
What embarrassment!
It's just as well you came along,

203
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,755
now you carry him,
our Polish colleague.

204
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,913
You were supposed
to call me Misha.

205
00:24:54,360 --> 00:24:58,239
- You wanted that. Be careful.
- And you don't want to?

206
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,797
In that case,
I won't use your name either.

207
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:06,479
- I'll shoot myself out of despair.
- And by the way,

208
00:25:07,120 --> 00:25:11,875
all the best on your birthday,
may you be happy and never

209
00:25:12,120 --> 00:25:18,309
- regret a single day of your life.
- You still on about the Revolution?

210
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:23,596
- Today is not my birthday.
- But it will be some time.

211
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:30,036
Since I'm with you today,
I take the opportunity

212
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:34,279
because who knows, where I'll be...
when it rea.Ily is.

213
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:58,559
Satisfied?

214
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,320
For me that was
nothing more than offensive.

215
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:07,757
Sorry, but I don't regret it.

216
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:16,238
Now I really must help you.
You'll never get him home alone.

217
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:20,433
No need. I was coping somehow
before you showed up.

218
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:24,156
Not in Poland and not with
a guardhouse at the street.

219
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:26,595
- I know a shortcut.
- You're a Polish officer,

220
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:28,677
you cannot walk into
the Soviet zone.

221
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,793
I can. But it's nice
you worry about me.

222
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,998
I worry for myself,
and my husband.

223
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,869
I don't want to be arrested
and end up on Kholyma.

224
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,994
They won't catch us.
Let's go.

225
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,072
What street?

226
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,836
What's up, tired?
We are almost at the house.

227
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,637
You'll soon disappear into it,
and then what?

228
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,639
Did you want us to stay here?

229
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:13,797
I want us to take Jura home
and for you to come back here...

230
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:18,836
- What would I come back here for?
- To thank me for my help.

231
00:27:21,360 --> 00:27:26,275
I'm flattered by your proposal,
but no, thank you.

232
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:32,151
I prefer you think of me as a
backward Soviet than a Russian tart

233
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,198
who'll come running
while you whistle.

234
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:36,914
This way.

235
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:44,148
Come on.

236
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,030
Good morning,
comrade Matwiejewna.

237
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,750
- Who were you expecting?
- A spy maybe...

238
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:17,192
Why are you up so early?
It's a holiday today.

239
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,834
- Children don't know it's holiday.
- Have a nice day.

240
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:23,356
- You too.
- Grab him now, quickly.

241
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:34,076
Sajat!
Hurry up! Sajat!

242
00:28:35,120 --> 00:28:36,348
Hold him.

243
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:38,430
Nane!

244
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:42,554
Call that doctor from upstairs
he arrived in the night.

245
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:46,309
- Hold on.
- Bang on his door, he's deaf.

246
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,990
OK, all right, just hold on.
Everything will be fine.

247
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:54,472
What is that Pole doing here?
Get him out! Are you mad?

248
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:56,552
- Will we see again?
- Of course.

249
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,832
- When?
- Maybe in May, on Victory Day.

250
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,713
- That's in six months time!
- Get going!

251
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:10,436
- What's going on?
- Doctor, open the door!

252
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:15,635
- I am not a doctor! Leave me!
- Nane is in labor she's bleeding.

253
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:23,114
- I told you, I'm not a doctor!
- Then who are you?

254
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,275
I'll call an ambulance.

255
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:36,072
If you hadn't proved
such a coward then,

256
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:39,272
our lives would have
turned out differently.

257
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:43,149
But to do that
one would need to be a real man.

258
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:48,674
You should have given that Pole
a good hitting, as soon as

259
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:52,151
- he approached your wife.
- It would change nothing.

260
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:55,750
It wouldn't do any harm, either.

261
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,759
And you just stood and stared.

262
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:02,112
- Vera, Vera!
- You talk like some goat.

263
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:06,959
What are you staring at? Eat.
And when they did...

264
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:15,030
Go on boy. For the first time,
did you know where and when?

265
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:22,756
For sure, you knew it.

266
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:29,596
I was born
so you couldn't forget!

267
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,996
The competition was approved,
the participants too,

268
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,112
the only oversight
can concern the repertoire.

269
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:47,108
"Melodies of Friendship",
fuck knows what that means.

270
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,279
Did you know
what Vera intended to sing?

271
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:54,792
Of course, I knew. But I didn't know
she was. going to sing in Polish.

272
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:58,271
Who do I have to defend myself from?
Poles or our side?

273
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,677
I only know that I was
ordered to immediately submit an

274
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:05,276
up-to-date assessment of you.
Political officer will tell you the rest.

275
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:10,032
The Poles have sent an official letter.

276
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:20,800
- Any guess what they want?
- I think it's about Vera's performance.

277
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:25,199
But I really don't know
what could have offended them?

278
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:32,191
They want your wife to begin
singing with their orchestra and

279
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,073
"to shortly be prepared
to represent our town

280
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:39,871
in the Festival of Russian
and Soviet Songs in Zielona Gora".

281
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:42,836
What do you think of that?

282
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:47,079
It's probably a great honor
to represent the whole town.

283
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:53,194
- They took her instead of their own.
- Yes... Sit down.

284
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:54,915
Thank you.

285
00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:01,991
We cannot offend the Poles.
Let your wife sing a month,

286
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:09,357
maybe a month and a half and later
we can refuse. Using any pretext.

287
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,515
And no fraternization.

288
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,950
Our official policy of friendship
with the Poles will suffice.

289
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:20,754
Who signed this letter?

290
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:28,515
I mean, which orchestra
she will be practicing with?

291
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,957
With Polish one,
Polish Army Orchestra.

292
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,430
You would like a symphonic one?

293
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:41,793
The letter is very important,
signed by the Party Committee,

294
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:46,272
the Community Center...
A whole gala.

295
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:48,755
I understand.

296
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:53,799
Since he asked, I ordered
not only the content of the letter

297
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:58,033
to be translated but also
the signatures beneath it

298
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:01,636
in order to find out its authors.
We already know one of them,

299
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:05,110
Michal Janicki.
And not from his best side.

300
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:08,759
You know him personally?

301
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:16,359
Yes. He's aggressive
and definitely hostile.

302
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:26,749
Write a report on him. Do it.

303
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:28,828
Yes, sir.

304
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,748
And as for Vera, you're right -

305
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:36,396
for the moment let her sing,
but not too long!

306
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:41,908
I'll keep this letter from the Poles.
Their signatures may come in handy.

307
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:44,879
That's all.

308
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:49,434
Yes, sir.

309
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:13,228
Let's go.

310
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,480
You thought
this whole competition up?

311
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:48,471
No, I only thought up
having you participate in it.

312
00:34:51,240 --> 00:34:56,075
Not that brilliant,
but that's all right, too.

313
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:04,797
And sorry again
for my behavior last time.

314
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:08,436
It won't happen again.

315
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:20,356
People used to have
a lot more time for each other.

316
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:24,550
Things could last
as long as they needed to.

317
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:31,792
They could take their time
getting to know each other.

318
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:34,998
No hurry, no brutish behavior...

319
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:40,236
...or taking of shortcuts.

320
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:08,395
The windows must be kept open so
my driver can hear I'm singing.

321
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:11,194
No matter what but loud.

322
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:36,914
Play...

323
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:19,112
Here I saw her for the last time.

324
00:37:21,720 --> 00:37:26,589
She was walking towards me,
and suddenly she stopped.

325
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,951
We were looking at each other
for a long time.

326
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:51,198
I saw she was crying and that
she wanted to tell me something.

327
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:58,910
I should have
gone up to her then.

328
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:05,319
But l...

329
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:28,155
Let's take a picture.
Since we have come here.

330
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:31,074
Take it. You can manage.

331
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:37,555
Father and I in the foreground and

332
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:42,152
magnificent ruin in the background.
Don't you like it?

333
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:46,757
I do...
It's very touching.

334
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:52,355
They resemble my life.

335
00:39:02,240 --> 00:39:04,356
- Well then?
- Hello.

336
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:06,756
Whoe! Whoe!

337
00:39:07,240 --> 00:39:10,835
They are Polish horses, they
don't understand that Fritz gabble.

338
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:14,749
But their parents were Germans.
They understand. Giddy up!

339
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:28,429
- Good morning.
- Morning.

340
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:30,955
- Where is Sayat?
- He's not coming.

341
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:34,113
I understand.
Banned to go out for a beer?

342
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:38,394
No. He had to stay at work,
as usual. You know...

343
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:43,950
- I will sit with you. May l?
- Sure.

344
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:46,549
Michal.

345
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:52,557
We have decided
to name our son after you.

346
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:54,557
- Do you mind?
- Michal?

347
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:57,990
And you want him
to follow my example?

348
00:39:58,400 --> 00:39:59,833
There won't be time.

349
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:04,271
We are staying here
for 5 years at the most.

350
00:40:05,240 --> 00:40:06,639
What do you say, then?

351
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:10,755
And there is something else.

352
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:30,514
Who can that be?

353
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:33,593
Neighbors!

354
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:38,792
Is anybody home?

355
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:40,954
Yes!

356
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:47,033
I am coming.

357
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:56,909
- Hello, Lieutenant.
- Salut, comrade Major.

358
00:40:57,200 --> 00:41:02,433
I have decided to meet
my neighbors at last...

359
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:08,037
- Good afternoon.
-...and to explain

360
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:12,517
- the misunderstanding...
- Please, sit down.

361
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:17,556
...that I am a doctor
and maybe even a gynecologist.

362
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:24,278
One moment.

363
00:41:24,720 --> 00:41:26,790
- Glasses.
- Bring them.

364
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:35,119
He is nosing about. They suspect
something so he's nosing about.

365
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:38,119
He's sniffing around
because that's his job.

366
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:41,949
Have a drink with him and just sing!
No conversation!

367
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:46,075
We have to be going in an hour!
I'll be drunk...

368
00:41:46,240 --> 00:41:48,595
I didn't come here to eat.

369
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:52,709
A piece of bread
and Polish bacon will do.

370
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:57,113
- They smoke it well, right?
- You're right, comrade Major,

371
00:41:57,320 --> 00:42:00,551
but their lard is nowhere near
as good as back home!

372
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:03,638
Come on Lieutenant, to our country!

373
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:16,239
Maybe he's hungry?
Or wants to have a drink with us?

374
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:24,392
Verachka, darling, what a windfall!
We are sitting with Comrade Major

375
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:28,678
and the little one is wailing
like an obstinate siren.

376
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:33,948
Take him for a walk for us!
I beg you, you take him.

377
00:42:36,720 --> 00:42:41,236
- I'll wash my hands, all right?
- I'll get him dressed.

378
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:52,474
I'm not a doctor...

379
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:05,991
...only a military expert.

380
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:13,076
- In the technical sense.
- In the psychological sense.

381
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:17,393
Wherever

382
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:23,438
there are people, they need
to be watched and understood.

383
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:29,838
For example;. Soviet citizens
are passionate readers of books.

384
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:32,710
That may seem banal.

385
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:37,910
But not for the expert.
He asks;. so why

386
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:46,077
do they read so much,
and mainly novels?

387
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:52,232
Is it maybe a form
of escape from reality?

388
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:57,914
To some other world?

389
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:01,392
A better one?

390
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:05,554
Supposedly spiritual?

391
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:14,598
Always you have to watch people
and try to understand them.

392
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:23,395
So a doctor after all.

393
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:26,557
Here is the pass.

394
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:31,916
I trust you like a sister,
but if you betray us - I'll kill you!

395
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:36,272
- I don't know what this is all about.
- Michal will explain.

396
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:41,356
- Have you any vodka in the house?
- In the cupboard. In the kitchen...

397
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:44,957
Thanks...
Hurry up, they're waiting.

398
00:44:57,560 --> 00:44:59,915
You are already drunk, Lieutenant.

399
00:45:03,240 --> 00:45:06,038
Where are you putting
the empty one?

400
00:45:09,720 --> 00:45:12,917
Finally a bit of peace and quiet
from all that screaming!

401
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:16,271
And Vera will get some
nannying practice in!

402
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:21,037
What would she need that sort
of training for, is she pregnant?

403
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:24,199
Who can tell... the first month?

404
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:36,113
Don't you think it odd
that they have no children?

405
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:39,835
They're young, healthy,
earning well, have a flat.

406
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:44,518
Maybe they were waiting
to have one born in Poland?

407
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:47,308
Some think it's better this way.

408
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:54,839
After all, chicken is not an eagle
Poland is hardly abroad!

409
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:13,831
- Good evening. I am Janicka.
- Good evening. Vera.

410
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:17,834
Son told me a lot about you.
Get in. You will go with Michal.

411
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:21,669
I will hide the pram and join you.
Mr. Czeslaw is 100% trustworthy,

412
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:24,308
Are the Armenians
coming on separately?

413
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:25,549
If they can.

414
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:33,754
I have a service in half an hour.
So maybe after that?

415
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:36,554
The child can't stay away
from home that long.

416
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:40,548
But your mother is not coming.
She's already officially entered,

417
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:43,991
- and was here at confession.
- And she's to be the godmother.

418
00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:47,232
Someone must stand next to you...
even per procura.

419
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:48,509
Exactly.

420
00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:00,993
That from a land so severely treated

421
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:03,589
by the materialistic antichrist

422
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:08,795
should come to us its sons
and remembering their fathers' orders

423
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:13,232
and drawing on their great courage,
should give us their children,

424
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:17,479
for us to accept them into
God's house and God's family -

425
00:47:17,720 --> 00:47:22,714
happiness overwhelms my heart
as if I were baptizing a king.

426
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:26,358
Godparents, please step closer.

427
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:44,228
What do you ask
the Holy Church for?

428
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:47,593
For baptizing.

429
00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:24,112
What's that?

430
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:28,759
You're drunk,
comrade neighb.ors.

431
00:48:31,720 --> 00:48:35,190
I baptized you Michal in the name
of the Father and of the Son

432
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:37,431
and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

433
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:52,633
Glory be to the Father, and the Son,
and the Holy Spirit.

434
00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:54,592
As it was in the beginning,

435
00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:59,550
is now and ever shall be,
world without end. Amen..

436
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:22,758
We have to go.

437
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:25,319
Not yet.

438
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:42,749
Oh, God! What are we doing?

439
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:44,830
Quite normal.

440
00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:50,275
In the last two hours,
nothing has been normal.

441
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:57,833
Mom, where are you?
We're back already!

442
00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:04,597
She's not here...
Come on in don't just stand there!

443
00:51:17,240 --> 00:51:21,358
The way you're behaving,
I'll soon be afraid I'm offending you

444
00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:25,713
just by looking in your direction.
Let alone touching you.

445
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:40,399
Am I to jump myself at you? And you
had the nerve to take me to church.

446
00:51:43,360 --> 00:51:45,271
That was totally accidental.

447
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:48,472
I would be an idiot to let things
begin on such a serious note.

448
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:51,831
These... things should happen
just by chance,

449
00:51:52,720 --> 00:51:57,714
almost as if between friends,
without right away cathedrals.

450
00:51:58,360 --> 00:51:59,793
Exactly.

451
00:52:08,120 --> 00:52:09,997
What "exactly"?

452
00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:15,434
You'll help me carry the pram?

453
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:21,030
Comrade Major must be wondering
why this walk is lasting so long.

454
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:26,589
No... you shouldn't.

455
00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:44,510
Say good-bye to your mother for me.
I'm sorry we missed each other.

456
00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:02,518
Sayat and Nane sent me for you.
You are gone for too long.

457
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:22,112
The family pile!
I'm quite moved.

458
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:28,916
Strangers probably live there now.
Over thirty years have passed...

459
00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:33,513
Let's go in.
There must be some trace!

460
00:54:33,640 --> 00:54:37,713
Have you seen that Russian woman?
She was to be here for a rehearsal.

461
00:54:37,920 --> 00:54:40,593
She was here.
She was hanging round.

462
00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:42,631
A very nice woman.

463
00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:46,037
If you see her
please tell her I'm waiting.

464
00:54:46,240 --> 00:54:48,310
I can see that for myself.
