But how do you tell a man his son was killed? - Where did it happen? - Near Smolensk. What do you want me to play? I don't care. Tell me, did you see him buried? No. I was put on a stretcher and taken to a hospital, and he was with a friend of his, Stepan. Stepan... I've got to find his girl now. He was really in love with her. I'm the girl. Come to see us when you're in Moscow, Volodya. Thanks very much. I will. The war's over. It's strange, isn't it? And you're still waiting? I am. One must always keep on hoping. What's the use of waiting? I saw it with my own eyes. What did you see? You saw him wounded? You saw him fall? You didn't see him die. But if he's alive, why hasn't he written to you? Anything could happen. Stepan hasn't written to anyone either. They know at the factory that he was in some Special Operations. Dasha promised to let me know when he's back. Boris is alive. He's alive. Look! The victors are coming! Kolia, darling, you're back! Boris! Veronica! Stepan! The flowers... For you. Well? What? You see... Well... My darling! Dear mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters! The happiness of our reunion is boundless. The heart of every Soviet citizen sings with joy, the joy of victory! We have all waited for this happy moment. We dreamed of it in the darkest hours of our struggle. But we'll never forget those who lie silent on the battlefield. Years will pass, our cities will rise again, and our wounds may one day be forgotten. Let one thing remain in our hearts, a cold hatred of war! We deeply feel the grief of those who cannot meet their loved ones today. We must all take a vow to keep our promise that sweethearts will never again be parted by war, that mothers may never again fear for their children, that our brave fathers may not stealthily swallow their tears. We have won and remained alive, not for destruction but to build a new life! Don't just stand there. Give the flowers to whoever they're for. Thank you very much, sister. Oh, what a darling! What a chubby little darling! Look, the cranes are flying over Moscow!
