here, everything is home-made ...
Pray for my deceased husband ...
... who was killed with no guilty
during the Great Patriotic War.
Have a seat, mother, let's have some tea.
Sit.
Ok, tell.
Quite often appears he in my dreams.
- And what is he saying?
- Nothing.
He is just groaning and groaning.
It seems like he doesn't feel well there.
- Did you love him much?
- I still love him.
We lived together just half a year ...
and then he was taken away.
I am a widow for 30 years now.
Ok, for such a strong love it is not a sin to ask.
Will go to the father Anatoly, will try.
Although he is not holly, yet he is a man of wide reading,
he might give you a good advice.
Come here.
While I'll be talking to him, you should stay here by the open door,
and you will hear everything.
But be silent.
Go ahead.
- What's his name?
- Mihail.
- What?
- Mihail.
- Ok.
Father, father Anatoly ...
... there is a widow here, asks to pray for the soul of his killed husband soldier Mihail.
One shouldn't order a church service for living people.
How come,
she is saying he died in 1944 in the battle.
He did not die, he was imprisoned ...
... in France, after the victory,
he remained for the settlement.
He is being sick now, wants to see his first and beloved wife, before his death.
So, do not, do not ... go.
So, did you hear everything?
Burial service, he says, is not for alive.
You husband is alive. He's sick now.
You should go to France.
To soothe him before he dies,
and close his eyes with your hand.
Why are you looking at me?
Go and do it.
But how, father ...
- ... I, in France?
- Why not? People live in France too.
But how, father ...
it is a capitalistic country, I will not be let to go!
Don't doubt, if father Anatoly said that they will let you go,
that means that you will be let to go.
But how, father, I have a house,
a cow, I should stick a pig soon.
- You should sell everything out.
- Everything?
- Absolutely everything.
You hear me?
If you sell it, you won't regret.
I heard your pig costs a good money.
It is a good pig.
You know, if I ate meat,
I would buy it from you myself.
Really.
You are, father, laughing at me.
Do you love your husband?
So, go and do your duty. It is your destiny.
А...
Listen, don't torture me, go.
Lord, have mersi, Lord, forgive.
Help me Lord, on my way.
I am so wicked by my soul, and my body is weak as well.
And I am a slave of sinful desires.
Brother, cannot you put the prop higher,
the linen lies on the ground.
Nikodim ...
you should come to the depot,
there are boxes there.
Ok, but why there are so few of you today?
You are here, what are you doing?
I want to send a plea to the King of the Heaven ...
- to outlast one more winter, for it is difficult
for the brothers to grave the tomb in the frozen land.
- А-а...
God bless you, you started to joke,
I thought you are mad.
You see, it is sailing.
Sailing ...
Pray for me, father Anatoly.
You better pray for me.
I have three times more sins than you.
Well, you don't say so.
You don't love me, do you, father Iov?
Filaret, that loves ...
But you, you're trying hard for him.
What should one love you for?
You cannot pass by my cell without monkey tricks.
You would either begrime my door's handle,
or will leave some object.
May be you think I don't know about my sins without your insinuation?
А?
Ok, leave it behind, brother.
Forgive me, sinful.
Forgive.
- Don't do it, I will make it.
- Ok, ok.
- Let me carry you?
- No, I will make it on my own.
- Be careful here.
- Don't, I will make it.
- Ok, ok.
Careful.
Careful.
Oy ...
Hold it for me, please.
Careful, his leg ...
Careful.
You know, he felt down from the barn's roof and broke his leg.
His thigh is very painful now.
He had four operations,
it didn't help.
We advised with all sort of professors and surgeons...
- Mum, I am hot.
- Hot? Wait a bit.
This man will help us, wait.
We advised with all sort of
