's a shaman or a wizard?
Let him rest. He's still weak
after the concussion.
I'll do it myself.
I think you're better
at other things.
I wouldn't mind if you threw
me down on a deerskin, lad.
I've already forgotten
what it's like.
Don't kid around - I haven't
seen a woman in two months.
Now, even a hunchback looks
like a princess to me.
You've got tender hands,
you're not used to man's work.
You probably only know
how to kill.
That's not work, just big
children thinking that taking...
...a life lengthens their own.
Put the barrel back afterwards.
Ma'am, I need salt.
I'm not mad enough
to eat mushrooms!
I see! In the house!
Scum!
The water brought a letter.
The political officer informed
on me! Snotty-nosed kid!
Hadn't served a week
at the front, and he informs!
I was like a father to the boy.
He writes: "I inform you that
I do not share the views..."
The water washed out the words.
The water in the stream is good.
If you put laundry in it,
the next day it's clean.
Not much flour left.
I put a little wood in.
He says my poems are rubbish!
Jealousy, maybe?
He only writes to inform.
Yesenin himself told me to write.
My dad was a taxi-driver.
He picked Yesenin up one day.
I was reading out my poems.
He said you need to write.
He even signed a photograph...
Your wife? She's beautiful.
The soldier men took my
husband four years ago...
See, it's Yesenin!
I wrote poems about nature,
to stay sane at the front...
God knows what he saw in them.
Don't worry - you're still alive
and your wife's very beautiful.
Just don't eat mushrooms,
or you'll go loony.
The mushrooms'll be ready soon.
But we need some salt.
Yes. Mushrooms are bad.
They can be poisonous.
Here I am chatting away - you
can't feed the deer with words!
You've ruined the iron.
I brought that barrel
from over the hill!
It's a bit rough, but we can
wash. It's already hot.
Gerlost, come and wash!
You get sick because you
scratch your skin off.
My husband washed
in a sauna in the city.
I barely cured him, and he
never got sick before that.
Even taking your rifle
to the sauna?
Come in.
Not bad, although the draught
takes the heat out fast.
I don't like saunas. I like
Turkish baths, you understand?
Oh come on, she's
not bad as a woman.
Her kind are good at housework,
and they keep you awake in bed.
We had a supervisor
just like her.
I invited her to the cinema
once, but she didn't come.
Then she got married to a friend
from work, Viktor Bychkov.
Don't know what she saw in him -
ugly as sin, to be honest.
I don't understand, Gerlost.
Don't you like sauna?
I'm no specialist, I've only
read how to do it...
I haven't been lucky
with women.
Married twice, and both
times it was a mess...
What are you so serious about?
Wash, because you smell
of war and death.
A crow flew over the field,
Saw a herd of deer.
It began to count - one, two,
three... Counted until daybreak.
Then it tired and crowed out:
You're so many, and I'm but one!
It crowed and went to sleep...
Let's go. Don't worry though -
I cry out when I like it.
Damn!
Don't!
Sorry, it was a bad dream.
I didn't want to scare you.
Feeling bad?
It's because you ate mushrooms.
I'll make an infusion for you -
it will drive the badness out.
I liked you straight away...
He's younger,
but he's still a fascist.
I'll make an infusion from
herbs - you'll feel better.
I must work, or I'll be like
a fox in winter, eating turds.
So, you enjoyed it with him.
I heard you moaning under him.
It really hurt me to hear.
I wanted to kill you.
Forgive me for those thoughts.
You brought me back to life.
Rest. I've got
a lot of work to do.
You took my heart straight away.
I told you, Gerlost,
there're no bullets.
Are you jealous because
she chose me?
Don't be. She wanted
a little happiness.
To hell with you! Live.
You're still young.
Haven't lived at all yet.
And I'm tired...
Tired of fighting.
My soul's
