bought!
Maybe you'd eat some?
It's yummy...
Have some. No?
Well, all right...
Pity... Pity...
So lonely...
- Who?
- Christ.
Abandoned by his disciples,
denied three times by Peter.
Are you sick or what?
My Lord! If I had been
your disciple
I would have followed you
to Golgotha.
Look here...
You'd better go home!
Mommy, see what a chair
I've made.
As good as new. Sit down.
Test the chair...
Please...
- Are you sitting?
- I'm sitting.
- Comfortably?
- Comfortably.
You won't fall down?
My golden Mother...
Along to the road to Murom
There grew three pine-trees
My sweetheart taking
Leave of me
Until the next year spring
- Some warm milk?
- What about breakfast?
Well, have an egg.
Hard, soft boiled?
- What's the matter with you?
- Nothing.
It's him - he's too sweet.
Mom, I'm off to an odd job.
He'll end up drinking,
for sure.
- Why hiding here?
- I know better.
I know Victor like
the palm of my hand.
It's not some work he's off to.
He's off to his drinking buddies.
When he's back you won't
recognize him.
Tell me how this Satan
gets into him.
As if there is no better
place for Satan.
Didn't you try to cure him?
Can the leopard change
his spots...
It'll get warmer here now...
Sometimes he drives me
so mad,
I wish I would move
to Lisa's.
God endured and told us
to endure.
He endured for good people -
but we have to suffer
for boozers?
Why did Lisa divorce
her husband?
She put her work
before her family.
Don't you meddle
with politics, I'd say -
let men sort it out.
- Her husband - is he ajournalist?
- A broker.
A motorcyclist kind of?
You can't...
You can't...
There's Mom there
and the Aunt...
But you're the master here!
Open up!
Tosia! Let's sing
something spiritual.
What Mother used to sing:
Listen to a story
Of love in simplicity
A wondrous story
God has forgiven us
for ever in Christ
God saved us from death
Yes, God has forgiven us
For ever in Christ
God has saved us from death
Open up!
Or else...
Well, beware now!
Move clear of the window.
I'll bury you both!
Take that, Satan!
It's me, not Satan!
Take it, Satan!
I'm fed up with you!
- I won't do it again!
- Swear to God!
Here! I'll hang myself.
Does he mean it?
I'll go look.
I'm coming with you.
Step aside. God forbid I fall
down and hit you.
Oh-oh! My leg! Oh, it hurts!
Victor, unlock the door!
Call Valya!
It needs to be X-rayed.
Where? At a hospital?
Can you have it done
somewhere else?
Must we book in advance
or what?
Have a look - is Victor
alive there?
Not choked himself I hope...
Is he alive?
- Alive.
- Hasn't he thrown the blanket off?
He's not a baby.
He's worse.
A baby you can cover.
We must let Lisa know.
No!
She has her own worries
at work.
What if they mess you up in
hospital and you lose your leg?
Pah! Don't bring bad luck!
They don't mess up people.
People pay lots of money
to doctors.
I'll pay too.
Lisa's left me dollars.
Dollar's no help here. What if
you get to some quack doctor?
So what do you suggest?
If Lisa comes - they'll give
you the best doctor.
- But she's in America.
- It's no big deal.
She isn't gonna stay there
for life.
When she comes,
then you inform her...
I will give you to no one!
Lisa, my niece!
Aunt Tosia...
That's the way to greet me -
with a half-empty bucket?
I can't carry a full one
any more.
Can't someone else do it?
Let's go in...
Aunt Tosia, be careful...
It's slippery.
My sleeping beauty,
what's wrong with you?
I'm ill.
Withdrawal symptoms?
Wow, my sis. I'm feeling bad.
Every time I come - you do.
- No, it's melted snow.
- Ah, never mind.
Oh, my little swallow!
You have flown in.
You haven't cut it off...
How did it happen?
It was slippery
near the shop.
You still keep on
running around.
You've gotten so thin.
I've been missing you,
my daughter.
I remember once...
When I was in my teens...
I didn't know how to
harness the horse...
And they didn't allow me
to
