-I have all the papers.
-Quiet!
What's going on?
Sacha can't stay
He must go to a hostel
He can move in with us
These are the books
Babushka used to read
That's how she taught me French
You have them
Me?
Thank you
I would like to be alone now
Vassiliev, come here!
Guess your time
Worse than a year ago...
...by five seconds!
You're through
I hear you've been drinking
and smoking
You're gifted...
...but you just float along
like a turd
My grandma died
Mine too! Both of them
Clear out, Vassiliev
Don't let me catch you here again!
Girls, in the water
You kept your eyes closed...
...the whole time
I lost track of where I was
We're together
I won't forget
What I miss most...
...is having you to myself
Being totally free...
...and you...
...looking so beautiful
The two of us together...
...alone in the world
Are you drunk?
Yes, but not much
You were with them again
Go back to the pool
I was thrown off the team
You don't need a team to swim
You have talent, don't waste it
You treat me like a child
You behave like a child
Sleep now, we'll talk tomorrow
I can't sleep
I haven't slept for ages
I think about Babushka
I think about my parents
I've forgotten their faces
They were arrested together...
...and executed
Babushka hid their death
from me for years
I received letters,
which she had written
Why were they arrested?
You never know why
I want to get out too
Leave the country
Why tell me?
I hear you at night...
...talking to Alexei
You don't sleep either
I hear you crying as well
You must not be afraid of me
I want to help you
It's kind of you
I'll help you too
Tell me about France
Okay?
I'm doing this for you
No, for yourself
For both of us
You'll be the best
because you fight the current
It's too hot
It's supposed to be
Do you ever do house calls?
Hello
Five minutes more
You are a good doctor, Alexei
We all know that
However...
...upstairs...
...they are wondering
if you are a good Soviet citizen
Stop it
Are you coming?
Make your mind up
I've no jacket
Choose
Calm down, we have lots of time
The car will be here in five minutes
What car?
Nina Fiodorovna's car
Your boss?
Wonderful!
We're all wonderful
Dear fellow citizens...
...it is a great event...
...that brings us here tonight
You will see...
...a performance of "Marie Tudor"...
...a play by Victor Hugo
Where's Papa?
I don't know
The role of Marie Tudor...
...will be played
by the great French actress...
...Gabrielle Develay
Your photo will be
in all the papers...
...as an example for us all
This is a great honour for you
And for me, too
I call on a compatriot...
...who spent many years in France...
...Comrade Golovin...
...director of the dispensary...
...of the Red Flag Factory
Dear French guests...
...dear fellow citizens...
...l would like to take
this opportunity...
...to thank the Kiev
municipal authorities...
...Soviet government...
...and Communist Party leadership...
...who enabled me...
...to return to my homeland...
...to work for my people...
...and welcomed my wife...
...and son
You love me, don't you?
Do you love only me?
Tell me once more...
...with those same eyes
Alas!
We poor women never truly know...
...what a man's heart holds
Yes...
...your gaze is naive and sincere
How infernal
that heavenly eyes might deceive
Your eyes are those
of an angel or of a demon
We are honoured to see...
...such fine actors
This is a great occasion for us
We are expected
I said, no receptions
I instigated this tour...
...for my own political beliefs
The rightwing press
dragged me through the mud
They'll do it again on my return
They'll be waiting
I came here to see...
To meet people and talk to them
These receptions aren't real life
Dignitaries, speeches...
It's a charade!
You heard the applause
They adored you
I'm sick of applause
and full houses to order
Barely a handful...
...had even a scrap of French
Take me
