really.
Happiness is for fools.
What's going on...
I'm completely miserable.
Go and see what's happening.
Hassan,
see if they're still alive.
Kiss my balls.
Take the chains...
and tie them up.
Bastards,
you'll be sorry for this.
Dina, get me some water.
They're pigs!
Bastards.
Lieutenant...
Pour.
Will you pour for me?
No.
I wanted to ask...
Silence.
Father, are you hungry?
I'll make you something.
This silence could last.
What did you say?
Remember this very well:
if you see me thinking like this,
don't be a smartass.
What was your name again?
Jiline.
Vania.
If you are a smartass,
things will end badly for you.
"Dear mama,
I'm writing you my first letter.
I'm doing my service in the Kaukasus.
I can see both the ocean...
and the mountains here.
Everything is fine.
Please do not worry.
Your loving...
and listening son,
Ivan."
He sent me this letter.
Give me a cigarette.
Fine.
How about a fuck too?
Too bad.
It could take a while.
A Souvenir.
How was it?
Even though he's lived here for years,
he still is stubborn
and won't listen to anyone.
Yeah, he sure is a strange guy.
We should talk to him.
Hi, smartasses!
What's going on?
What did you shoot? - Who did you shoot?
Our people.
With everything I had.
They must leave the village.
What will they do to us?
Are we going to be killed?
Probably not.
Then why are we in chains?
They want to sell us.
Give us something to eat.
We haven't had anything since
this morning.
How much did they cost?
I haven't bought them,
they almost got killed.
You should've left them there, Abdoul.
The Russians will find out,
and that means we will suffer.
We'd been better off with
them dead.
Nothing we can do about it now.
They took my son...
in a gunfight...
and they're keeping him prisoner.
I wanted to buy him out,
but the commander forbad me to.
Soon they're taking the prisoners...
to their headquarters,
which means I'll lose him forever.
That's why I want to trad him
for my son, and fast.
Russian's can't be trusted.
But if we do it the right way
we can trick them.
You're better off killing them.
If they want to...
mess with me,
I'll turn their intestines...
into a stew.
Lieutenant,
You were saying they're going
to sell us...
But I don't understand to who.
You won't likely be sold.
I know what the Colonel is like.
We've been in three wars already.
But you... you're no good.
I could learn.
Too late, Vania.
In all honesty, I doubt they could
ever buy two.
They're poor,
you know.
What will they do with me?
Cut your throat.
If that's how it is, lieutenant,
please don't tell anyone.
My mother will know...
Don't be scared, Vania.
I'll arrange something for us.
Must be expensive.
Before I forget,
I wanted to tell you something.
Say goodbye to your balls.
What do you mean?
That's how they do it here.
One mistake
and it's off with the balls.
Don't tell me you haven't fucked?
Of course I have. - "Of course..."
Well, don't worry.
You'll be fine.
It's only annoying.
Annoying?
You are... well...
Annoying!
My name's Sacha.
I see.
See what?
Nothing...
A week ago I met
a nice girl.
We went to her place, drank champagne,
this and that...
I barely had the condom on
and poof,
she fell asleep.
I tried everything to wake her up
but nothing helped.
So I paniced and went to
her neighbours...
"Her lethargic sleep",
That's what they said.
Then what?
Then what?
I took off the condom
and went back.
Did she wake up at all?
I don't know.
Sometimes they sleep
for days.
Good morning.
- Morning.
Where's the bag?
Hands behind your back.
Ok, take a dozen steps.
When someone fires at you,
drop down and roll towards that rock.
And play dead.
At your order, Captain.
Just another 30 minutes, no dawdling.
Why would they want to trade us in?
Maybe they won't, yet.
Yes they will, there's no way back.
Maybe we can go on leave.
What for?
Well, we can make a report.
And write
