a duty.
And I mean happiness.
And how do you
understand happiness?
To love and be loved.
I don't mean
some extraordinary love.
Let it be ordinary,
but real.
To live happily and die on the same
day, as Grimm says.
Vika.
But it means being philistine.
I knew you'd say that.
No, it's not philistine.
It's a normal women's happiness.
Dad?
Yes, that's us.
- That's us. Good afternoon.
- Good afternoon.
I'm glad to see you again
in our house.
- Come in.
- Thank you. Hi.
We wanted to...
Well, we'll do it later. Have a seat.
- Take your helmet off.
- Oh, I forgot.
- Sit down.
- Thank you.
Come on, sit down.
We've decided to take a look at
Sasha's airplane designs.
There're interesting ideas there,
but some things...
Excuse me,
but you must study.
- You haven't got enough knowledge.
- I told you so.
And lskra and I were
talking about happiness.
But we still don't know
who is right.
Happiness?
Having a friend who won't
renounce you at a critical moment.
What do you think, guys, what's
the ultimate achievement ofjustice?
The ultimate achievement ofjustice
is our Soviet Union.
That's an achievement
in the social sense.
And I mean
the presumption of innocence.
A person is not supposed to prove
that he hasn't committed a crime,
that he's not guilty.
It's the state bodies of justice
that must prove to society
that a person has committed a crime.
That's how it had always been.
In the lawyers' language it's called
the presumption of innocence.
You don't understand?
- Even if he admitted his guilt?
- Even if he pleaded guilty.
A human being is a very complicated,
unexpected creature.
Due to the weakness character or...
by a false evidence, he may
try to mitigate his fate.
I'll get it.
Yes?
I'm sorry, I have to go.
Will you be gone for long?
You carry on without me.
Leave your drafts,
I'll look at them later.
Iskra.
What, mom?
What is this?
An article for our wall-paper.
Who gave you the idea to write it?
No one.
Don't lie to me. I'm tired.
You know I never lie.
It's true, I wrote it.
I wrote about trusting a person,
even if it's a little man,
about what miracles
a man can do
if he knows that people
believe in him,
and I explained what the presumption
of innocence means.
- Who told you about it?
- Leonid Sergeyevich Lyuberetsky.
A rotten intellectual.
- What else did he tell you?
- Nothing.
Though, yes, he did.
Aboutjustice, about
the necessity to believe a person.
All right!
This article will never appear,
and you've never written it!
It's not fair!
Fair is only what
is useful to society.
Only that is fair. Remember it.
And what about a person?
A simple person?
There're no persons.
There're only citizens
who must believe!
Get up, Zinochka,
or you'll be late for school.
You interrupted
such a beautiful dream!
Get up, you lazybones.
Mom.
Mom, what is this?
I'm asking you, what's this?
It's the 1st of October.
Time to put on warm underwear.
I'm not a little girl.
You're not little,
but you only think you're grownup.
Why do I have to suffer so?
You sit in all kinds of places,
you may catch cold.
Don't rebel. Wear what our climate
directs. We're not in Africa.
That's you who direct.
All girls are like normal girls,
only I'm some freak.
You really look like a freak now,
unwashed, uncombed and undressed.
Yeah, our girl is growing up.
You'll make a good bride.
- Hi.
- Hi.
What are you doing tonight?
I don't know.
But I'll be busy.
What about going to the movies?
I've got two tickets
for the last show. A great film.
I'm making my mind.
How to turn down somebody.
- Let's go.
- Alright, I'll decide after classes.
All right, go on.
I don't want any complications.
- At 9 p.m. at the Central Cinema.
- Right.
A boy invited me
to the movies today.
- A handsome one.
- What boy?
He said it's a comedy
with Lyubov Orlova.
And I didn't go. I'm sitting
here with you, instead.
What boy?
Are you
