rules. We are not allowed to bring any letters or things. Everything should go by mail.
But I will not seal the envelope, they are allowed to read.
That is not the point.
If it's needed they can open the envelope.
You better tell me and I will tell her everything you told me.
Strange..
This is Lyalechka, excuse me.
Hallo Alla Sergeyevna.
Hi Lyalechka, come in.
I came for just one moment.
Very good.
This is Victor.
Hi.
Just from sweden.
Hallo.
He Has been at Tanya's place.
Oh, how is she doing?
Very well.
I'm so happy for her.
Lyalya, you are just in time. Here is a present for you from Tanya.
Oh, thanks a lot, I will open it later.
Alla Sergeyevna, do you have an iron? Mine is completely broken.
But my flight is in 3 hours. I will go to the South, to Adler.
On vacation?
Yes, every now and then I need a little rest.
Send her my greetings and kiss her from me, ok?
I will.
Yes.. I will give it back later.
Beautiful girl.
Yes, how she grew up quickly.
To Adler.. Where did she get that much money from?
Tell Tanya, that Alla Sergeyevna is absolutely alone here. She is just drying out.
Tanya is enjoying her wealth there, but her mother is absolutely alone.
For weeks she is sitting inside her house and not going out.
Isn't she working?
She had to quit her job.
How is she supporting herself then?
She took some private students, so she earns something.
But that is not the point. She clearly has lost the purpose of her life.
And strangely, she is burning a candle in the middle of the day.
It is for Tanya, so that everything will go well for her. She has bad premonitions.
Ok, I will tell her everything.
So, how is it in Sweden?
Are they rotting there?
In the begining it is always fun, but later on you get used to it.
Listen, you know, could you buy for me batteries for my watch?
Mine is old.
I will do my best.
And I will give you the dough.
The dough? What shall I do with it?
I mean, soviet rubles.
Yes.
Nonsense.
The doctor said that I'm all right, we have to get you checked.
Can't we wait some more time?
Since there is this situation, no children, both of us should be checked.
We haven't been together for so long yet..
Please, don't.. I'm so tired today.
Well, what else... your neighbours are in the summer cottage.
Yes..
They are busy with their garden..
Yes, I know.
Their daughter flew to the South.
Lyalka? Wow..
Beautiful girl.
Lyalka flew to the South.. can you imagine..
What else did mother say?
Mama? Well, she misses you, but all the rest is good.
Are you hiding something from me, Vitya?
No, it's true.
What kind of a watch do you have?
Ours, from Leningrad.
Do you like it?
Yes.. maybe we can exchange watches?
Are you crazy? You think I don't know how much does this thing cost?
For me, this present is...
This is not a present for you, this I need, this is a present for me.
You are for me like Liteyny, like Sadovaya, like all of our district in Leningrad.
Tanya, I can not possibly have so much money. No, no.. have you forgotten our rules?
Would you like to have anything else?
This is real russian bread, would you like to taste?
No, thanks.
1 loaf of cigarettes please, and 10 lighters in different colours.
Ok, thanks.
Oh, maybe you would like some more coffee?
No, thanks. I have to go.
I have to drive 500 km till Gothenburg.
I won't give you anything for my mother because I hope I will soon be able to come myself.
I cast a bag into your car, could you give it to my father, please?
There are warm socks inside, medicine from arthritis, some small things for his children, ok?
I wrote their address there.
Vitya, sorry that I'm asking you so many things to do. It's just, that you are the only one I have...
I mean... you understand...
Oh, hell with you.
That's all.
Where have you been earlier, Vitya?
And you?
I was in such deep shit that it is better not to remember about it.
So don't remember.
Once in a while I'm reminded.
You hooligan!
