into town.
I'll write it all down for you.
The weather will be nice tomorrow.
The sky is clear.
You aren't cold?
Gombo!
The road separates here.
To go to town, you go straight.
I'll go left -
to park the truck.
OK, we're agreed: at 7 o'clock.
Right!
Understood? OK!
That way?
Hello.
Hello.
Hello.
Hello.
Can I help you, comrade?
You want some condoms, comrade?
Me? No! Not at all!
What is it?
Some small apples.
I want to taste them.
You have to pay for
them then, comrade!
Hey you! You can't eat
them without paying!
Hello.
Hello.
- How much is it for one round?
- 2 yuan, comrade.
Well, take it all.
There's enough there for an hour!
Mom! The horses are running away!
Mom!
No, Boin, Let me do it.
Bouin, come here! Let's go for a walk!
Marina...why are you crying?
You didn't call me
for two days.
Stasik and I,
we almost went crazy.
Marina, if you knew
what I fell into!
Mom! Dad!
There's nobody I can read to here.
Nobody understands Russian.
Only Chinese here.
I will better read to you.
"I see the town of Petrograd
In nineteen-seventeen
The sailor and the soldier run,
They're firing continuously"
Do you love me?
What do you think, Marina?
"...They carry banners.
Beside... behind the Bolsheviks,
Lenin's Guards.
October has co..."
Hello, Uncle Bayartou!
Hello! What are you doing there?
Oh.. Here, have an apple
in the meantime.
Thank you.
Thank you.
"October has come.
Bourgeois power...
Thus, October exhausted
the dream of the workers.
Victory was not easy.
But Lenin led the people
and Lenin saw far
ahead of his time.''
Marina,
you know what an urga is?
A long stick with a lasso at the end.
The Mongols
catch their horses and sheeps with it.
And when they make love
out in the steppe, this urga,
they plant it in the ground to warn others.
It can be seen from far away.
And nobody disturbs them.
Not bad...
And you remember our dorm?
Horrible!
Seriozha,
what are we doing here?
And what are you doing
just standing there like that?
Hey, it's empty...
Let's go.
Bouin...
you asked Papa to buy
candies at the city, right?
Don't be upset.
Just wait a little longer.
He'll be back soon...
Let's sleep... Hush...
Close your eyes...
Good evening, comrade.
Good evening.
Good evening.
Good evening.
Have a nice workday, comrades.
And why do you think we're here?
You come here, make money, buy
what you want and go back home, see?
Shit!
Shit, I never have time
to relax and chat with my wife!
I can't! No time...
I'm working like a horse
here... building the road.
And him, he's harvesting corn
with a reaping-machine.
And what about us, do we have
lots of roads back home?
Or maybe we overloaded
our country with corns, huh?
Oh, thank you. Thank you!
Geez, just imagine:
we go to the other side of the world
to live normally back home.
Here, I have money! Here!
Here! I have money!
I earned it!
And at home? What am I at home?
At home, I slave away like a devil,
and I can't even get a little damn
wardrobe with a mirror!
I feel ashamed to my wife!
No! Put that away!
Hey, I'm getting offended!
You saw the pigeon?
You saw his dough?
And so?
- Let's pluck him a little, huh?
- What are you talking about?
What are you talking about!
Without him, I'd have been roasting
-... on the steppe till now!
- Let's palm off baby Lenin to him?
He received me like a human!
What's his name?
Gombo!
But you get what he's on about?
You understand?
He doesn't understand anything,
and you pour out your soul to him!
What do they understand about our souls!
What soul? What soul?
Our soul. Here!
Here it is, our soul!
Hey, you see?
Two yuans each!
A soul for two yuans!
Here! Our soul! That's it!
Our soul, our soul... shit!
Hey, wait! Stop!
What was your father's name?
What do you want from me, piss off!
No, tell me... What was his name?
Nikolai!
- Nikolai! Bravo! And your grandfather?
- You're a cop or what?
Come on, make an effort!
