staggers around...
Even his horse looks drunk.
And he's not... no?
Not, not that one!
- No?
- No, not that one!
Not that one!
Oh, geez...
That's the real fire.
Here...
Grandma...
A long life to Granny!
To Grandma!
She's super, Granny!
To your health!
To you! To you all!
Damn! Oh Lord, help me!
What have you got there?
Bourma!
Could you play us something...?
Yes, yes... play a little...
Yes, play!..
Gombo.. the accordion and...
Yes, yes, my daughter plays well, yes!
- Really, play for our guest.
- Good.
She is gifted in music.
Go ahead, we're listening!
Look, don't lie so close to me then.
Where should I lie? My bed
is being used by our guest.
But I'm not made of iron.
Pagma... come closer.
You're obstinate, like a child.
You know me,
I'll be pregnant straight away.
But before, you could...
The doctor did something to you.
Not just after the birth.
You have to wait, the doctor said.
I told you so many times.
You can't as long as he forbids it.
But it's three months already.
How long do we have to wait?
I don't know.
And you, why don't you do anything?
Have you never...
What can I do?
... heard anything about it?
No. About what?
Come here.
Yes, what?
I'll explain.
- What?!
- Listen to me, okay? Everyone knows that.
- You too?
- Of course.
Eh?
My family is from the city,
I lived there for a long time.
They talk about it on TV.
In town, you're not allowed
to have more than one kid.
And how do they work that?
Condoms? At the drugstore.
What'll I do?
Don't worry.
Come here. Sit down.
You really are a barbarian!
You don't know anything.
You should buy a TV.
You learn a lot from it.
I will write it down for you on the paper.
Here's Bayartou.
Yes, it's him.
Hello there!
Hello!
What're you doing here,
instead of sleeping in the warm?
And you, why are you loafing around?
Drunk again?
Oh, I have too much to do!
What's this, this umbrella?
Rain stopped long ago.
I found it out on the steppe.
Gombo, look what I brought you.
This goes with the morning present.
It's called an egg, one is enough for you.
And this is for you.
I won it at cards. It smells of apples.
Here, take it... Well, I gotta go,
I have so much to do.
My brother's coming from America,
I have to cut the cow's throat,
I've got so much to prepare.
Well, I'll go then. Goodbye!
Go, go, his brother's coming from
America, windbag! Go and sleep!
- Yes, I'm going...
- Always drunk...
To cut the throat of a cow...
Where would he find one?
He never had anything except
his horse.
Tomorrow, I'm going 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.
