Borodin,
I don't want to know.
It 's not about him.
It 's somebody else.
Who?
My son.
I have a son, Misha.
He's three.
His name is Mitia.
I see.
Funny about the couch.
It 's new.
Misha, I feel cold.
Make me some tea, please.
Tea.
It 's up to you, whether
a woman like me is for you.
Where is he?
-Who?
-Your son.
In an orphanage.
You know what?
They shave their heads there.
Why do they shave their heads?
-Where's the orphanage?
-In Chikino.
If you hear my soul
singing today
It's because you smiled at me
that way...
Look what I got.
Steady, copper.
Keep it nice and quiet.
See your jacket?
The men here are quite something!
I'd barely arrived when this guy
mugged me for my earrings.
Then he came after me
and offered to repay me...
but at the last minute, wham!
He screwed me!
Who is this hero?
Point him out to me, please!
Maybe he'll pay me
and screw me as well!
That 's him, over there.
-Where?
-The bald one, there.
Look at this.
I'll give back your gun in exchange
for Misha's confession, torn up.
That 's him, the cheeky chap!
You know him?
You know if you lose your gun,
you're finished.
You dirty fucker!
I divorce you!
You've wrecked my whole life!
Go screw who you want,
old goat!
-Damn.
-What 's wrong?
We're stuck in the mud.
You know what?
I won't be a very good father.
In two hours
I have to be in jail.
Misha...
why are you lying?
I'm not.
It 's the truth.
For God's sake,
why are you lying?
Don't be scared.
I haven't asked you to be a father.
You don't have to lie.
I'm not lying!
Tania, wait!
It 's true! I'm not lying!
-Why yell at me, then?
-I'm not!
Don't ever lie to me.
I hate that!
-Stop!
-I'm asking nothing of you.
-They gave me two hours!
-I'm asking nothing!
I just wanted you to know
that I have a son!
-Tania, come here!
-Let go of me!
-Come here!
-Let go!
-You're terrified, aren't you?
-Keep still!
-You're hurting me.
-Sit down!
Push the pedal.
I am.
Do you bottle your mushrooms
hot or cold?
The trick is to cool them first.
Listen, honey.
I'm not angry anymore.
Let 's drink.
Look to your husband!
They're arresting him!
What are you doing?
He has a bad back!
Out of the way!
Hush! Hush!
What 's going on?
This is a wedding!
Let him die.
I'm sick of him!
Polly,put the kettle on...
Where's the gun? Talk!
Where have you hidden it?
Visits are only allowed in daytime,
with the principal's permission.
Why should I let you in
without permission?
What 's in it for me?
Chew on that for a minute!
-Don't shout.
-I'm not!
-Do you mind?
-No.
I hate them already.
Are they enough?
-They're gold?
-Gold.
I can't.
I've got no change.
Listen, chum.
Take one for being woken up...
and one for going back to sleep.
-I didn't wake up.
-Right, nobody woke you.
-I'm already asleep. I'm sleeping.
-Sleep. Sleep!
It 's not here.
I can't remember where!
I think it was here.
I'm scared.
I don't want to go in.
-He's in there?
-I forget. It was 6 months ago.
-I can't. I can't.
-Come on. You can.
I'm scared.
It 's not him.
God, there are so many of them!
Is this the right room?
They've moved the beds.
I can't remember.
That 's not him.
Neither is that.
I can't remember where he is!
I'll never find him.
Mitia!
Mitia!
Mitia!
Mama?
Darling!
Is that Daddy?
Yes, I'm Daddy.
-Vassili, don't! Please!
-Bug off.
Don't make a fool of yourself!
Have they all taken root?
Don't they have homes to go to?
They're having fun,
thank goodness!
Tell me another!
As long as Borodin stays,
they'll all stay.
He's going wild
while he waits for Tania.
Where do you dig up
such dirty gossip?
Put a lid on it.
The cake's waiting.
Come on, Vassili. Let 's go.
-I want to dance!
-They're laughing at you.
I love you.
We've just had a boy!
Everybody, meet
Mitia Krapivin.
But...
who is...
the father?
Me!
Do you hear?
He's my son!
I'm his father.
Quiet! Quiet!
Mitia,
