you know
what she's interested in?
The soul of a woman
is her waist.
Yefim, you're going
to drive me mad!
Your waist.
We'll make it fit loosely.
Madame, one needs very long arms
to be able to embrace you.
Will you turn, please?
Maria.
It's too tight here.
Madame Vavilova!
We'll make you
such a dress...
Wearing such a dress...
Wearing such a dress,
one is not supposed to walk on foot.
Wearing such a dress,
a woman should ride...
on a tram.
I know.
What do you know,
some day
the trams will be running
in our town, too.
And I'll ride
to my work on a tram.
I'll look out the window and say:
Fixing things! Soldering!
Mending pots!
Sonya!
Come here.
Hold the baby.
Didn't your mother told you to go
to bed?
Syoma, leave the wash alone.
I'm not going to sleep!
Yefim, when will you
start working at last?
Do you hear me?
Yefim, go and start working!
Yefim, go and start working!
Do you think, Madame Vavilova,
that somebody has ever said to me:
Yefim, you don't feel good,
you've got a poor health,
go and have a vacation.
Go to the Odessa estuary.
No!
Nobody has ever come
and said that.
Tramp.
The Odessa estuary
can't wait to see him.
Tramp.
My little treasure.
Just look at
this angel.
Madame Vavilova!
You're taking it
over from us
at full running.
Shut up, tramp!
Madame Vavilova, why don't
you go inside and rest?
Come on.
Hold on!
Everybody does it.
- Has it started?
- Go away.
Stop it!
Yefim, children,
go away, for God's sake!
An iron.
What for?!
Push!
Push!
Help me!
Help me!
It seems it stopped.
Mamma, the smelling salts!
Hurry!
Stop torturing me!
Stop torturing me!
What do you know!
Who needs it,
all that pain?
Neither she, nor the baby, nor her
husband, damn him, nor God in Heaven.
Who was that smart aleck that
thought of this to our misfortune?
Oh, why do we suffer so?
I'm not going to live.
I'm not going to live!
Yefim!
We got a baby boy.
I swear to God, I knew
it would be a boy!
I knew it.
Look, it's Vavilova!
Wait!
Come back, Vavilova!
Hey, Miss Vavilova!
Vavilova!
Stop!
Madame Vavilova,
someone to see you.
Hi, Vavilova!
Wipe your feet.
Come on in.
You go,
I'll finish washing.
Yes, it's really a baby.
The Whites took
the offensive.
- Our troops are retreating.
- It's only temporary.
Yes.
The 14th Army is gathering
near Zhmerinka.
Several divisions are coming from
the Urals. Ukraine will be ours soon.
The breakthrough will come
in a month.
Then we'll be back.
But now, Klavdia,
the Whites are coming in throngs.
Yes, we've got our pretty face
all in blood.
Spare us yourjokes.
Don't yell,
you'll wake up the child.
Listen,
maybe you'll go with
the field hospital?
The place may be cut off
for a long time.
You may as well stop smoking.
You're blowing like a steam engine.
Yes...
Look, we may be late
for the Bald Mountain.
I guess the watch is pure gold?
I gave orders to deliver to you
a sack of flour, sugar and bacon.
They'll bring it in a cart.
Well, let's say goodbye.
Take care, Vavilova.
Don't forget to write, Vavilova.
I'm very sorry, Madame,
but we have heard everything.
Comrade Commanders said
that the Whites are in Chudnov.
- It's forty versts from here.
- It's just nothing.
Tomorrow
they'll be here.
In Fastov,
there're so many cavalrymen
that one can't hear what people say
because of the horses neighing.
Maria...
You think I'm afraid?
I'm not afraid!
I just want to say that whether
they're Poles, Austrians, or Whites...
You can stay here.
They'll bring you so much to eat,
it'll be enough for all of us.
I can't stay here.
Some bastard will inform on you,
and you'll be shot.
And you've got children.
We've got children,
you've got children.
Please don't try to scare me.
They've been trying to scare me
since I was born.
You may live here as long as you want.
What is to happen,
that'll happen.
And that's it.
Lullaby, lullaby
Go to sleep and never cry
Or
