- Let's take a tram together.
Please, two roubles and a half!
Are you crazy or what, chauffeur?
Pass by!
Gee, stop! Hey, guys.
Nowadays you know...
Who wants it?
Darling, come with me!
My galoshes!
Give back my galoshes!
In my day people didn't speak like that.
Hey, mister!
So, coming with me?
And your husband?
Coming! Coming!
So, shall we go to Kursovoy?
But why, mummy?

Help! I've been robbed!
My God, Lidochka! What is it?
My case is gone!
- Who did they rob?
- It's none of your business.
They didn't rob you, did they!?
I put it right here, turned back...

He's now taller than his father.

Bandits are growing up! Why bother

Your mother's coming!

Quick, quick!
From joints, underground nests,
caves and tumbledown houses
there were gathered that night
more than a thousand homeless children,
crippled by the street.
In the Soviet Republic
there shouldn't be
poverty-stricken
and homeless children.
May there be young, strong
and happy citizens.
A special commission
performed a big and complex task
selecting and distributing
the street children.
What is your occupation?
I'm a streetwalker.
Give me her form!
