..money,
bread... so I had to...
- All right, all right.
- No, really! We--
-Just be careful with fire.
- Okay.
What's that?
Well, Comrade Lieutenant,
it's sort of canned meat.
Who did you take it from? From them?
Give it back immediately.
But they gave it to me voluntarily.
Voluntarily?
Two days under arrest!
- For what?
- Five days?
- But I--
- Repeat the order!
- Five days...
- How disgraceful.
I told you: He's a beast.
Now we don't have to be afraid
of any beast.
Beast!
Alyosha, it's so pleasant
when you think badly of someone,
only to discover that he's good.
Yes, that lieutenant is a good man.
Very.
Do you believe in friendship?
Of course I do. On the front,
you'd be lost without it.
No, I know that.
I mean between a boy and a girl.
Some girls are even better
than boys.
I think so, too.
But there are some who believe
that they can only be in love.
Nonsense.
I used to be friends with a girl.
We were friends
and didn't think at all about love.
- Maybe you were in love and didn't notice.
- With her? No.
- Maybe she was in love with you.
- She was just a little girl.
Our neighbor Zoika.
No, love is something different.
Alyosha, would you like
to have a friend?
A true friend,
to have your whole life?
Me, too! Why do you think I'm traveling?
Do you think--
You're doing the right thing,
going to him. You're a good girl.
- That's not the only reason.
- You're a good girl.
You're not some sort of floozy.
No, Alyosha,
you don't know anything.
You know what, Alyosha?
- What?
I'm so thirsty. Aren't you?
Yes.
- A quick stop?
- A quick stop.
The evening news,July 27th.
Throughout the day,
our troops have been fighting
in the Voronezh region,
and also
in the Tsimlyanskaya region.
After persistent battles,
our troops left the towns
of Hovocherkask and Rostov.
In other parts of the front,
there are no significant changes.
Over the past week,
from the 19th to the 25th of July,
during aerial battles,
on airfields...
Stop! Stop!
Can you take me to Uzlovaya?
I missed my train.
- Have you heard the news?
- Yes.
Damn it!
I haven't slept for two days.
What can you do!
Here, crank it.
What a truck.
We're the same age.
My son's on the front.
Field Post Office 139.
Have you heard of it?
No.
Don't fret, little fellow.
We'll get there in time.
- Stay back, soldier!
- This is my train!
You're mistaken.
Where are you going?
- To Georgievsk.
- That train left an hour and a half ago.
Alyosha!
Shura!
- Shura, you're still here.
- Yes.
Here, you forgot this.
- Shura, you're brilliant!
- It was my fault you didn't get back.
- Silly girl! I thought I'd never see you again.
Well, I waited.
I'm so thirsty.
- You still haven't had anything to drink?
- No, I was afraid I'd miss you.
My little Shura.
Well, let's go.
- Soon you'll be home.
- You, too.
Don't worry, Shura.
He'll get better.
Alyosha, I've never met
a fellow quite like you before.
Alyosha, who is
that handkerchief for?
It's a gift for my mother.
- Really? The soap, too?
- What soap?
The soap in your bag.
- Let's go.
- Where?
- I have to give it to someone.
- The soap?
Yes, I promised.
Good thing you reminded me.
It's not far-- Chekhov Street.
Is this Pavlov a friend of yours?
No, I don't know him at all.
We met by chance.
He was on his way to the front.
Chekhov Street.
- So close.
Grandma, where's building 7?
Right here.
Who are you looking for?
- The Pavlovs.
They're alive!
Are you looking
for Lizaveta Petrovna or the old man?
- Lizaveta Petrovna.
- She now lives on Semyonovskaya Street.
And the old man is at the institute, where
the people who were bombed out live.
- Which is closer?
- Semyonovskaya Street.
Mitya will take you there.
- Grandma, look what I found!
- Good.
Mitya, take these people to see
Lizaveta Petrovna.
Mitya, this
