- Tonight.
Oh, my God!
And this is why
you want to part with Galya?
Yes.
Mother, what is it?
- Mother, what's with you?
- Wait.
You feel better now?
You are a womanizer.
A hopeless womanizer.
No, mother, I'm a miserable man.
Why am I so unlucky?
To think of it,
I don't have to marry at all.
What for?
I don't have to.
No one will take care of me
better than you do.
You sly-boots!
Just imagine, a strange woman
walking around the apartment.
Who knows if you'll even
like one another.
What if you don't?
I will become irritated.
No, that's it.
The hell with it!
Let everything stay the way it was.
My poor child!
Lie down.
Lie down,
everything's going to be fine.
Lie down, get some sleep.
What's her name?
She has the most beautiful name.
Nadya.
And what's important,
an uncommon one.
Nadya.
You left your birch switch.
How did you find me?
You are a hopeless dimwit.
My god, not again!
I hope it is not Ippolit.
Hello!
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!
Wish you all the best!
Where is he?
Wake him up.
Hello.
How could I have made such a
blunder? I never ever get drunk.
I'm happy to see,
that you, Zhenya, and...
Galya.
That we are your friends
and Galya has forgiven you.
Zhenya, quit kissing around.
We can't. We've missed
each other so much.
I don't care if they kiss. Do you?
Do you feel uneasy? Not me.
Zhenya, we are happy
that Galya has forgiven you.
We are happy,
that you and Galya have reunited.
Mother!
My Nadya has come.
You think I am light-headed?
We shall wait and see.
- Do you understand what's going on?
- Are you asking me?
I have a feeling this is not Galya.
Well say something.
You're the most quick-witted of all.
I can say for sure
that one of them is Zhenya.
Friends!
I am grateful to you
for changing my life.
I am grateful that fate
lead me to Leningrad.
And that in Leningrad
there is a street of the same name, a house
just like mine
and an apartment just like mine.
Otherwise I would never be happy.
We would never be happy.
We would never be happy.
I asked the ash-tree:
Where is my loved one?
