THE ANCESTRAL LAND
Vitka?
Victor Afanasyevitch, what a meeting!
Do we know each other?
Oh, no. You're no more like Vitya
than I like Manya.
Sorry, man, I got mistaken.
I need to leave the loot.
Police caught Kolyunya an hour ago.
Kolyunya is a coward.
He is not a real robber.
My dear mother of bastards!
How many have you robbed?
Four. Another one in the street.
I'll eat and then go out again.
Will you have some vodka?
You're lucky, Lame.
I want to toast you. Lame?
Look, Lyuda noticed you.
You're now the chosen one.
Now Auntie Lyuda will fuck you.
That beautiful lady?
Who is she?
Are you crazy?
She is the widow of King Arkasha.
The director of the market.
Fire, not a woman!
All thieves who steal from people
on the market
bring a share to Auntie Lyuda.
Last week she returned from Yalta.
The King built a big house for her there.
Close to her is the Professor,
the most influential buyer of the loot
in the city. Come on, pour.
I toast our luck!
Innokentiy Mikhaylovitch, welcome.
Hello, Yasha, hello.
I've prepared everything, you may be calm.
Come on, take the coat off,
I'll hang it here.
The photos of your precious wife
are ready and put into envelops.
Pavel Arkadyevitch is already
waiting for you, as it should be.
You may brush your hair here. Here you go.
Pavel Arkadyevitch was looking
at the photos of your wife.
He said that the photos were wonderful.
He said that he didn't see
such wonderful photos for a long time.
One of them is exceptionally beautiful.
Smile! Smile suits you well.
Yasha!
I'll take your photo in a second,
but you owe me a smile.
One, two, three. Here we go.
- Innokentiy Mikhaylovitch
- Pavel Arkadyevitch, honey
- Hello.
- Hello.
I have been waiting
for you for long.
Sit down. I'll surprise you now. Thanks.
Kesha, the main thing is not to go blind.
The 18th century, England.
An English attaché brought it into Russia
and sold to the Russian counter-admiral
from whom it was confiscated.
Yes, this is the one I told you about.
Oh, God
Will you take it?
Yes, of course.
We discussed the price before.
No, Kesha.
It'll cost a bit more this time.
My people suffered much
while delivering this good from Moscow.
Plus, I have another two buyers for this.
They can't wait!
- Pasha!
- Kesha!
You're cutting me without a knife!
How may I bargain with you? All right.
The price remains the same.
However, I'll ask you for one favour.
Will you do me a favour,
Innokentiy Mikhaylovitch?
Depending on the favour, Pasha.
Yashka?
- Yes?
- Bring us some cognac, we'll toast a deal.
Brilliant!
Where are you, old fool? He is not there.
Grandma.
Where might he be? Where?
Grandma Dunya, let's go to the house.
Let's go to the house, grandma Dunya!
I beg you!
I need to find him. Varka,
I have been looking for him since summer.
I'm looking for him, but he is
nowhere to be seen. Oh, where is he?
My grandpa disappeared.
I went to the village shop,
I looked for him there,
but he wasn't there too.
Dunya, it's cold outside.
You'll get frozen. Go home!
Shut up, Vaska, you can't give me orders.
Go to the fields,
work there, plow the ground.
Otherwise your kids will die of hunger.
One of your kids has already died,
isn't that enough for you?
Get out of my sight!
It's warm by the oven. I'll make you tea,
Dunya, you'll drink some.
Go home, Dunya, go!
He isn't here too.
Where is he, old fool?
Where is he, Varka?
Grandma
Varka,
he went away without his winter boots.
Grandma!
- What a fool! He'll freeze to death.
- Ge up, Grandma Dunya.
Lukyan! Lukyan!
Come here! Otherwise I won't
let you into the house again.
To hell with you, then!
Grandma Dunya, let's go! Grandma Dunya!
Grandma, let's look for him at home.
What if he hid in the house?
Grandma Dunya, let's look for him there.
- In the house?
- Yes.
You're right, Varka! Let's go! Varka!
What an old fool!
Did you decide to play hide and seek?
Dunyasha
Dunyasha
God, my happiness
What happiness?
God, why did I tell you about that?
Do you think that if you told me
about this some other time,
I would be over my head with happiness?
Listen, I can't just throw her
out of the theatre now,
I don't have a replacement.
Who will play all her parts?
Pasha, are you an idiot?
I'll play instead of her.
Lena, but how? Lena, you won't be able to
I mean not yet.
Pasha, I can do it.
I can also leave you if you fail to do it.
Is it a condition?
Yes, it is a condition.
Wait.
Stay. Tomorrow,
she won't be in the theatre anymore
and you'll play all her parts.
CINEMA HALL
Is the movie at 19?
Excuse me.
Yes, at 19.00.
Why is man passing the queue by?
Comrades, why is he bypassing the queue?
Why is that?
Everybody is standing in the queue.
A woman with children
is standing in the queue.
I have been standing in the queue
for an hour! You were not there!
I asked the boy at the end of the queue
who was the last one. Get out of here!
"MY LOVE"
Leave the cinema, don't wait for
the end of the movie. Do you get it?
I do.
I want to see the movie very much.
Don't even think about it. I'll wait
for you at the Pervomayka, in the arch.
We need to go to the railway
station in the evening. Bye, Lame.
- Here he is, our actor!
- Don't talk nonsense.
He is not your actor
but my water-carrier.
Don't you believe
that a watercarrier may be an actor?
Maybe a water carrier may be an actor
but mine watercarrier can't.
I swear, I'm an actor.
Ask Filipp Ivanovitch!
He is a waiter, he won't lie.
You may be an actor in your free time.
Comrade officer.
Stop it and take him out.
Comrade Bivalov, I'm an actor too.
Excuse me, mister, I need to go out.
Comrade, you're covering the screen.
If you whine,
I'll wipe you off the screen, got it?
What a brute!
How did he look like?
I have explained.
Not very There he is! There!
Freeze!
Catch him! Stop! He stole my purse!
We caught you, didn't we, robber?
Is it your purse?
This purse isn't mine.
But he came up to me and
- Filimonov?
- Lyudmila Semenovna
Are you working by the cinema hall now?
You don't visit me at all.
Let that boy go.
- You may be free.
- What do you mean - he may be free?
He doesn't have your purse. Let's go.
What about my purse? Where is it?
We'll sort it out at the department.
Let's go.
You're too merciless with him.
Oh, mother, I can't listen to him!
He is talking about some economic laws!
Who needs them?
I hope that other laws exist for us!
The laws of the society and morals.
If everybody wears such a dress,
I may die but I shall wear it as well.
I don't have time to think about the laws.
I shall just go to the shop and buy it.
He is crazy, mum!
I think he is just very original.
Like many
Olga Antonovna,
you look at me in the wrong way.
- When I say that he is crazy
- Well?
You shall move away from me
and say your words only after that.
Grigoriy Nicolayevitch, am I right?
Tamara Ilinichna, you're doing
very well today! Incredibly well!
Your talent is brilliant!
You're working on your part
in the best way possible!
You did it very well, Tamara Ilinichna!
Stop it, Grogoriy Nicolayevitch!
Tamara Ilinichna? I need to talk to you.
Pavel Arkadyevitch, honey,
it's the rehearsal.
Interrupt the rehearsal.
I need you immediately.
You may talk to me right here.
Tamara, you're fired.
Go to Zamyatin, he'll discharge you.
But Pasha who will play instead of me?
Me.
I will play.
Any more questions?
No,
I believe it's all some misunderstanding
I repeat - you're fired.
Tamara Ilinichna,
if you don't have any job
we'll certainly let you work
in our theatre.
But only to play the part of my mother.
What a whore! A village whore.
Get out of here, old bitch.
Grigoriy Nicolayevitch,
let's start rehearsing.
I've learnt my words long ago.
Auntie Raya! Auntie Raya!
Auntie Raya, I'm coming to you!
Grandma Dunya is very unwell.
Can you look at her?
I can't see grandma Dunya now, Varyukha.
Katerina Akimova is giving birth.
There is so much snow
that we can't drive her to the hospital.
I'll help with the baby.
Later, Varka. Katerina has been
in labour since the evening.
She almost went mad from pain.
Katya! Katya!
Go away, Ignat! Go, I tell you!
A man is the last thing we need here.
Natakha, bring some hot water!
Auntie Raya, I've prepared the bowl!
I've prepared everything.
A clean sheet and water to wash the baby.
And a clean shirt for the mother!
Get out of this room, Ignat!
You shouldn't listen to the women's cries.
Katya!
It's always hard to give birth
to the first baby.
It's easier with the second one.
Don't be scared.
She'll give you a lot of kids.
You can't shake like this for each one!
Katya!
This is enough,
get out of here, I tell you!
Girl, concentrate,
you'll need your strength.
You'll now breathe as I tell you.
Breathe in
Good, very good!
Look how fast you let your daughter out!
Natakha, give me a towel!
Natalia, give me the towel, fast!
Are you deaf?
Who are you?
Tamara Suslova. I have an appointment.
I may show a document. One moment.
I know. Go along the corridor.
- Hello, Toma.
- Hello.
Come in. I don't have much time.
Tell me what had happened. Now go.
Lyudmila Semenovna, it's the first time
I turned to you for help.
When I was selling kerchiefs
at the market you said
that I could turn to you in case of need.
This day has come, Lyudmila Semenovna.
The thing is
God, she humiliated me so terribly!
She wiped her feet off me!
Lyudmila Semenovna,
I'll kiss your feet to the end of my life!
She humiliated me so, she crushed me..
Calm down. Honey, calm down.
Wipe your tears.
Tell me calmly what has happened.
Hey, the girl is well-packed.
Search her.
Search her yourself.
Oh, God! Is she alive? Get her here.
What has happened?
Your hands are all covered in blood.
Klavdia Ivanovna, faster!
Call Alexey Makarovitch, fast! Fast!
Alexey Makarovitch!
Was she cut long ago?
Alexey Makarovitch!
We have a woman with a knife wound!
Stepa?
Alenka. Save her.
Wait!
Alexey Makarovitch!
Get the stretches, fast!
Go into the house.
Father, the hen had some eggs.
I thought they wouldn't
lay eggs until winter.
I'll boil some tomorrow for you.
Sit down.
Sanka wants to marry you. I agree.
You'll marry next week.
Quietly. Without a celebration.
Father
You'll do as I say.
Varyukha, what's wrong?
I don't love you, Sanya.
I won't be able to love anybody else.
You'll curse me.
They know each other, do they?
So it seems.
This is what I say.
Our doctor Alexei Makarovitch
called that young man by the name.
The young man stopped and said
to Alexey Makarovotch: "save her".
And he went away.
It means that young man
who brought the woman and your doctor
knew each other.
It must be so. But you shall
ask Alexey Makarovitch about it.
Of course. What was that young man's name?
How did your doctor call him?
What was his name?
What's wrong with her?
What's wrong with her?
Mister, don't shout, you're in a hospital.
Who are you for the victim?
What difference does it make?
I'm her husband! Her husband!
Pavel Arkadyevitch Babakhin!
What's wrong with her?
Pavel Arkadyevitch,
your wife is in the surgery now.
Sit here and calm down.
I need the chief doctor of the clinic.
Where is the chief doctor? Get him, now!
He is operating your wife. Calm down.
Our doctor may bring a dead body
from the other world.
While he is in the surgery,
fretting doesn't help.
Just sit down.
So, what was the name of that young man?
The name?
I forgot the name, comrade officer.
I can't remember.
Maybe it was Semen. And maybe Vasiliy.
Vitya, see the ladies off.
I'll talk to the gentleman.
Pavel Arkadyevitch,
who could have been interested
in murdering your wife?
- A murder?
- A murder.
Did somebody want to kill Alena?
Of course! She was cut with a knife.
Her vital organs suffered.
Of course, somebody wanted to kill her.
Call the doctor! Faster! A man feels unwell!
The gal survived.
I cut her with a knife, as I should have.
Lame decided to search her
for the girl was well-dressed.
I was covering for him.
Suddenly I saw that Lame
took the girl in his arms.
Why did he do it?
The police were to arrive any minute.
I ran away from there.
I don't know where Lame went with her.
Here is your Lame.
My holy mother of bastards!
The Christ has come!
You shall wash yourself.
What are you doing?
Pray for her to stay alive. If she dies,
I'll cut your throat with a knife.
What's wrong with you, Lame?
Why did you shout at Kolyunya?
Why did you hit him?
Was that girl your lover?
She is my sister.
My holy mother of bastards! What a number!
It wasn't written on her forehead
that she was your sister.
Lyudmila ordered us
to calm your sister down.
Lame? Sit, sit!
Let him talk.
Because of your order,
my sister almost died. You're a snake.
I'll tear your hands off, whore!
Don't touch him, Yevgeniy. Leave us alone.
Go and wait for me in the car.
Lyudmila Semenovna,
I can't leave you with his psycho.
Look at his hands, at his face!
I won't repeat twice.
You're drunk.
Your words don't mean anything now.
What is your name?
My relatives call me Stepka.
The bandits call me Lame.
What name do you like more?
Neither.
I'll think of something to suit you.
You'll remain Stepan for now.
So, the actress is your sister, right?
My sister. I'll kill you.
Good. Kill me right now.
I'll kill you later.
All right. Kill me when you want.
You're beautiful, snake.
One may go blind from looking at you.
I liked you too. When you are sober
and clean, we'll dance, Stepan.
I want to dance with you very much.
This is my address. Do come
when you decide to kill me.
Finish it. Then take her to the ward
and put under a dripper.
- OK, Alexey Makarovitch.
- I'll come to her a bit later.
Alexey Makarovitch? Morozov?
I'm Sivtsev Mikhail Vasilyevitch.
Junior Police Investigator. Hello.
How may I help you?
I have a couple of questions to you.
Shall we sit down?
If you have a couple of questions,
I'm ready to answer then here.
I'm sorry,
but I'm a bit tired after the surgery.
Yes? All right. Let's do it here.
Alexey Makarovitch, a woman was brought
into the hospital today
with the knife wound. Do you know her?
Of course, I do.
- This woman is my sister.
- Your sister
- What about the young man?
- The young man?
The one who delivered your sister.
No. I don't know the young man.
Really?
Nurse Demyanova told us
that you called him by the name.
Nurse Demyanova may tell you
whatever she wants to.
I don't know that young man
and I didn't call him by the name.
I'm sorry but I can't help you anymore.
If you don't have any more questions,
I'd like to leave.
I'm sorry but the patients
are waiting for me.
It's not good, Lukyan Potapovitch.
It's customary to invite
the entire village to the wedding.
You should have waited for spring
Makar wanted to drive his daughter
away from home.
He can't come to his senses
after Dasha's death.
Varvara is also like a dead body.
They don't want to celebrate.
It's good they didn't wait for spring,
Grigoriy Ilyitch.
Varvara will live better with her husband
than with her grumpy widower of a father.
Because of him, her soul freezes.
When Makar looks at you these days,
trees wither
How is Yevdokia Egorovna doing?
How? She went completely crazy.
She is lying down and talking to Dasha.
It's good when she is lying.
When she gets up,
she gets some nonsense into her head,
and it gets much worse.
One can't stay at home then.
Do you need any help?
What help, Grigoriy Ilyitch?
The only help we need
is a white old hag with a scythe.
Death is our help.
We're waiting for it now.
It's too early for you to talk about death.
Too early!
Why is it too early for me?
Death doesn't have mercy for young people.
One can't hide from death under a stone.
If it comes, it'll find you everywhere.
Look, it's Ignat. Ignat!
Ignat!
Where are you taking the baby
in such cold?
Grigoriy Ilyitch,
I need to take my daughter to the city.
My little one is sick.
We'll give you a lift.
Lukyan Potapovitch, I'll come to you
later to congratulate the newlyweds.
I'll give Ignat a ride
to the city and come to you.
You shall marry, Ignat.
Your baby needs a mother.
A man shouldn't run around
with the baby like some woman.
Ignat Ignat Ignat
What, what? Everything is fine.
Ignat Ignat
Who is Ignat?
Forgive me, Ignat. Forgive me
What, honey?
Everything will be all right.
Be quiet, my girl,
everything will be all right. Be quiet.
Where is Katerina? Where?
Who is Katerina? Who is she, my girl?
Tell me, who is she?
Forgive me, Ignat. Forgive me, Katerina.
This is it, Ignat has forgiven you,
and Katerina has forgiven you.
I'm here. I'll never leave you.
Do you hear?
Never! I'll always be by your side.
My girl. Here, here
I'll die. I'll die
No, no. God, no!
Pavel Arkadyevitch,
you shall have some rest. Go to my office.
She has fever, she is raving.
We'll now give her an injection.
You shall sleep, you haven't slept
for three nights in a row.
Alesha! Alesha, I love her.
Do you hear? I love her.
I want to marry her.
I want her to become my wife.
I shall divorce first, of course.
I have a wife in Tambov.
I didn't tell her about it.
I was refusing to do it. I didn't want to.
But now I realize how much I love her.
I've never loved anyone as much as her!
Alexey, I shall marry her.
I need to be in time. She may die
She won't die.
Please brace yourself.
Go to my room and sleep.
No, no.
Brace yourself.
She needs your faith and strength now.
Yes.
This is it, let's go.
By the stream, by the fast stream
By the cold well, by the cold well
Sanka went to give the horses some water.
Oh, Sanka took them to the water.
Varvara was gathering water there.
Varvara was gathering water there.
She got some and put it down.
She got some and put it down.
She talked nicely to Sanka.
Oh, she talked nicely to Sanka
Why are you singing such a sad song,
Matrena?
It's not a wedding
but a commemoration dinner.
Listen to me, young people.
It's not easy to live a life together.
Care for each other.
Sanka, I tore Varka for you
from the depth of my soul
for Varvara is my beloved granddaughter.
I order you to love her too. Yes.
This is also
- What?
- What?
What?
Kiss! Kiss!
Kiss!
- Kiss!
- Kiss!
Kiss!
I'll go. Enough of the celebration.
Stop it, Makar!
What kind of wedding is it?
Daria must be looking at Varka
from heavens and crying.
- Let's have fun at least for Daria's sake!
- Right!
Let's have music and dance!
No, Matrena. We married the children,
we had a quiet dinner.
This is enough.
No, Makar!
Let the young couple stay alone
- Makar!
- Makar!
Makar! Sit, why are you in a hurry?
You're marrying your own daughter,
not a neighbour's niece.
Frol, Potap, play!
Let the newlyweds dance for us!
Sure, let them dance!
Right, Chairman.
Varka!
Oh, Varka, Varka!
Varka!
