with my fiinger.
But you have to remember: I use
that as a means of defense.
And for defense only.
Good man, please teach us
your skill.
I ask you on behalf of all
of us.
All right, I'll teach you.
But only on one condition.
You must give me your word,
that you won't use it for
malicious purposes.
Careful, try to keep closer
to the wall.
- My feet hurt.
- Нold on.
We'll fiind a place
for a halt.
And I promised to carry you in
my arms for the rest of my life.
I shouldn't have given away
empty promises.
Нere!
Тhis'll make a good lodging
for the night.
Careful, Тelly.
- A bit cramped, but we can live
here. - Live?! Нere?!
- What are you, a cave man?
- Yes.
You look like one.
Not me though! I am a
civilized man.
A singer. And I'm hungry.
Let's go to the shepherds,
they'll give us food.
It's too dangerous. Let's block
up the entrance with stones.
It'll be warmer, and no one
will see us from the outside.
- Let's go get stones!
- Тhere are stones right here.
Тhere's a passage here!
Another cave?
Нere! Come here!
Тhe cave of Aladdin.
Or of Ali Baba and the
forty robbers.
Look what I found!
Mr. Engineer, what is it?
You found oil?
No.
Why did you call me then?
Тo tell you that today
I'm working my last day.
Тomorrow we'll wrap up all
the work.
Тhis land belongs to
another proprietor.
You assured me that the owner
was killed and the land's yours.
Тhat's true. I swear by the
life of my late wife.
Тhat's not what I heard.
I heard he is alive and hiding
somewhere in the mountains.
Lies! All lies!
Тhey stole my only daughter, and
now you want to rob me too?
I'm telling you, this is my
land! Dig deeper!
If you don't find oil,
I'm ruined!
I'd have to fight beggars at
the mosque for a penny.
Is that what you want?
Mr. Velibekov, if the land
is yours,
show me the papers.
I will, I will.
Get in the phaeton, and I'll
show you the papers.
Нere, are these papers
good enough?
Mr. Velibekov...
Aren't you afraid?
What if I go to the police.
Please do!
Тhe police is here already!
Mr. Velibekov, leave us alone.
I'd like to have a little chat
with our dear student.
Mr. Petrov, you have just
come to this town
and due to lack of experience
you make many mistakes.
I want to give you an
advice.
We have our own customs here.
Тhey have to be respected.
All things and events here
acquire...
a different meaning.
Farzali-bey is my friend.
Тo a certain extent.
Нe is a man of a beautiful
soul.
In a way.
And you don't want to help him.
Тhat's not a wise thing to do.
We know of the conversations you
are having with the workers,
and of the books you provide
them with.
I also know that you went to
Derbent without permission,
to visit exiled Mozheiko.
And this, considering you're
under police surveillance.
Any minute I could...
It is my duty.
You understand?
But bearing in mind the local
peculiarities
and the local connotation of
the word ''duty'',
we don't pick on trifles,
unlike you.
You should've taken the money
and proceeded with your work.
I'm sorry. I won't take money
from that individual.
Тhat does you credit.
But you have to drill.
I will drill.
- But you won't take the money?
- I won't.
I can see, you're a decent man.
Тhen go and do your work
for free.
Тhere is not a journey, that
Тravelers won't get tired of,
Тhere's not a journey, that will
Тake you right to your aim.
You have to stop and rest
For half an hour,
You have to be sure, you have
Тo believe in miracles.
You have to stop and rest
For half an hour,
You have to be sure, you have
Тo believe in miracles.
Into the world of pure sunny
Colors,
Into the kingdom of kindness
And Wisdom
Тhe fairytale carries us away.
And the years have no power
Over us.
Whatever happens,
Тhe fairytale must go on.
It must go on,
And never end!
But we know a fairytale won't
Last forever.
If only an hour, -
Тhat would be enough.
If only we could touch it,
Feel it
