IN THE NEW DRAMA
OF FREAKS AND MEN
Johann passes through
Immigration Control
and enters the town.
Dr. Stasov adopts
the Siamese twins.
Engineer Radlov and his wife
photograph their daughter Leeza.
Years went by.
After the death
of his wife,
Radlov lived with his daughter
Leeza, and their maid, Grunya.
You can't bring
Mama back, Leeza.
They're leaving...
We'll go as well.
To the West?
I promised, didn't I?
Yes, Papa.
That'll be
the records.
Good day.
Have you come
to see Papa?
I'll call him.
Papa, there's someone
to see you.
Ah, Johann.
Have you brought it?
No.
But...then?
I've come
to see Grunya.
Grunya?
Grunya was
Johann's sister,
but she kept this
a secret.
She knew all about
her brother's occupation.
That's all.
Hello.
So that's what you do here,
Mr. Kohl.
You won't
fool me anymore!
I saw everything!
Everything!
I won't permit it!
I simply won't!
I didn't rent the studio
to you for that!
There are respectable
people living here!
There's no room
for your kind here!
Wait...
Putilov,
have you brought it?
What?
Leave the camera.
Viktor Ivanovich
sold the photographs
that were taken
in Johann's studio.
What do you want?
Don't come here.
What is it?
Who's in there?
Daria, who's there?
It's for me.
Go away.
What are you doing?
And the money?
Later.
You’ll get your money.
Go away!
Daria!
Yes.
Who was it?
It was for me, a relative
from my village...
But why come
to the front door?
Yekaterina Kirillovna,
it won't happen again.
Kolya, you sing the lead.
What's that?
A relative from
my village came.
Right, from the beginning,
with the introduction.
Kolya,
pay more attention,
you keep cutting in
on the Lead.
Boys, have you seen
my stethoscope?
Andrei, can't you see
that we're busy?
Katenka, forgive me,
but I have to go
on my rounds,
and I've no stethoscope.
You're going out?
I'll be back for supper.
Yekaterina Kirillovna
did not love her husband.
She carried on only
for the adopted twins.
Again,
from the beginning...
As the bell rings
monotonously
The road get dusty
and through the field
The coachman
sings his song
The coachman
sings his song
There is so much
feeling in his song
That my heart
burns up
in my cold chest...
Excuse me, have you
come to see us?
No.
Leeza.
Hello, Leeza.
Is papa home?
Yes, in the study.
Thank you.
Leeza,
Nikolai Nikolayevich
is waiting for you.
Leeza, meet Putilov.
Undoubtedly the cinema
is the thing,
no doubt about that,
my friend!
The cinema may become
a real art form,
an art form accessible to
the people of whom you speak.
Not painting, not literature,
not photography,
but the cinema will
reveal truth to the common folk.
You yourself
saw what effect
moving pictures have
on common people.
So your photography
will die out.
Shortly you'll see how
everything will change.
We're on the verge of
something major, something new.
The cinema is only
the beginning.
Excuse me.
It's all right, Grunya.
It won't be long now.
Leeza is already
grown up...
Grunya.
What was that?
They're fueling
the steam engines.
Do you like photography?
That must be the records.
Is that me?
Ah, you've brought it.
It's my gift to you
on this special occasion.
It's turned out well.
It's a present.
Take it, take it.
It's me at age five.
To become a photographer,
Putilov got himself into debt.
So he became dependent
on Johann.
Putilov, you should be
on your way.
It's already late.
Yes, yes.
Could I, perhaps,
photograph you?
Leave me alone.
Take the boys
to the cinema.
Johann readied himself to make
a wedding proposal.
Is Leeza home?
Leeza?
Grunya,
who's there?
It's Johann.
But why through
the front door?
Hello.
Never, never set foot
in this house again...
Scum!
Don't let him in again!
Scum!
In
