plow.
And I just sat down
and began crying...
Uhu... Come on remember
the war...
During the war we worked...
...giving all our strength
without sparing ourselves.
For the front.
For the Motherland.
Did you get much in return
for your sacrifices?
They paid us very little.
With work days records.
So why did you work at all?
For whom all this sweat?
- For the Motherland...
- And the Motherland?
The Motherland helped us a lot.
- Like how?
- A good pension was granted.
Oh really?
I get fifteen hundred roubles.
You're just our millionaire...
They've brought Mom back.
Oh, go away!
What's wrong with Mom?
Hipjoint fractured.
She'll be in hospital,
what about me?
Grow up, find ajob.
You're a big person.
Help me to find ajob.
I did this no end of times,
but you're drinking.
- I agree to take treatment.
- I'll be back soon.
Take me with you.
And what about Auntie Tosia?
Where shall we put up
Aunt Tosia?
I'll take her to her family
tomorrow.
Lisa, who wants her there?
What do you mean 'who'?
Ivan. Grandchildren.
Ivan won't take her in.
Isn't he a Christian?
She's nursed all his children.
He wangled a good pension
for her.
Hasn't she sold her house?
And gave the money
to the grandchildren.
They won't have her.
None of them.
So what do you suggest then?
To let her stay with Victor?
Lmpossible!
Blast you!
Aunt Valya! Are you home?
Come on in!
- How is your mother?
- Hipjoint fractured.
Well, a fracture isn't AIDS.
Could Aunt Tosia stay with you
while Mom's in the hospital?
I will pay you.
It's not a matter
of money, Lisa.
A friend of mine is coming
to stay with her 2 daughters.
It's a shame to be a bachelor.
Why doesn't he get married...
Oh yes...
To both of them?
The Parliament is thinking
about a law on polygamy.
Perhaps it'll be passed.
Blossom, blossom
Blossom, mountain-ash
Let your berries swell
With orange colours
Yesterday I met a lad
I met a lad
Near a drying house
'I have come
From faraway,' he said
'I will tarry here,'
Said the lad.
'To become a farmer,'
Thus he spoke,
'And to mow the grass
With your menfolk.'
He will don a blouse so blue
And the poplar's fluff will whirl
He's a city guy
And I'm a peasant girl
Sing, oh, nightingale
Sing
I have met my love this spring
Love is no potatoes rotten
Thrown out and forgotten
Stop talking about love.
Speak about a bath-house.
Now some woman with sharp teeth
gonna see you off.
We've talked our heads off.
We came to say good bye, Tosia.
Here's to your health,
grandma Tosia.
God bless you.
We'll see you off.
Keep well. Don't forget us.
Come and visit us.
- Let's drink!
- Bottoms up.
It'll cheer us all up.
- Thank you very much.
- Don't you weep.
- Are you getting warm?
- Yes-yes. We are.
Thank you.
Now I've a present to give
to my hosts.
It's for you to eat.
And this is for them.
Nah.
Why? My hands are clean.
That's silly.
We were just kids then.
Turn it off!
6 million people have died
in Russia during the past 8 years.
Turn it off!
'New Russians' - who are they?
The masters of this country.
- 'This' country?
- Don't get hung up on the words.
- Words is not what's wrong.
- What's wrong then?
- Buy some milk.
- No, thanks. Hi!
- Hi!
- Gee! Zhaleika pipes...
He knows how to play...
Too high sound...
- How much?
- 200 roubles.
I'll take it.
Thanks, bye.
Wait here.
I'll go up alone.
What if the lift doesn't work
and Ivan is not home.
Lisa! What a surprise!
Come over here!
- I didn't recognize you.
- Didn't you.
Take your coat off.
Come on in...
I read all your publications.
I watch you on the telly.
You've really gone up
in the world.
Tea? Coffee?
Or have a drink,
to warm yourself up.
Aunt Tosia is waiting
outside in the car.
- I'll run down to get her.
- Wait.
I won't let her
into the flat.
- What do you mean?
- What I say.
She's your mother-in-law!
Used to be.
Before Vera's death.
- What do we do then?
- I don't know.
