The Wild Dog Dingo

Directed by
Yuli Karasik

The girl sat by the sea and watched
the running water with her eyes wide

open. She tried to imagine where from
and where to the waves were running.

It was an ordinary day and an ordinary
sea, and so were the rocks and the sky.

And nothing had happened. So why did
everything seem new to her? The sky,

the waves. She wanted to know where
are they running to and why, she wanted

to see those new lands, the other world.

She also wanted to be a geologist
and sing a little too. So she sang.

(Inaudible song.)

Tanya!

Haven't you heard the bugle?
- No. You?

I bathed and went on looking for you.

I heard you singing. Let's sit a little,
if you're not in a hurry.

Want some ant juice?
- No, I still remember your raw fish in

the morning.
- That's the other thing.

Fil�ka, do you know anything about
the wild dog Dingo?

Dingo? Is that a breed?
Where have you seen it?

I haven't. It lives in Australia.
- Listen, what's in that dog for you?

Wait..

Gee, you became so brown, like your Fil'ka.
Mother is not here. She went to the hospital,

couldn't wait any longer. We're alone.
Want some tea? Or something to eat?

Tanya, come here! My father returned
and gave me real draft dogs!

It's impossible!

That's an expensive gift.

He asks you to keep an eye on me, so I
would go to school and not be an idler.

Learn well.

Come visit us when the first snow falls.
- In nomad camp.

I will.

Does he always say goodbye this way?
- What way?

We shake two hands only with a big friend.

You have a great father.
- I love him when he doesn't fight.

Does he?
- Rarely, when he's drunk.

Doesn't your father fight?
- Never. He never did.

You must love him, then.
- I don't love him.

Why?
- I don't really know him.

is he dead?

So where is he?
- Far away. Maybe across the ocean.

America?
- Uh-huh.

America?
- D' you know where Algeria and Tunesia are?

Sure, Africa. So he's there?
You know, there is a land Marosejka.

Marosejka? It must be beautiful.
- He's there.

Hate him!

There's no Marosejka! There're Morocco,
french ex-colony, Mayorca island,

and Marosejka is no island, no peninsula,
no continent.

Why do you lie to me?

I hurried home, missed yo so much!

Did you read it?

You must be glad, Tanya.

Do they come for long?
- Forever. Father is being transferred here.

And that boy?
- He will be in your class.

Is he my brother?
- No, he's Nadezhda's nephew. But he lives

with them, and your dad loves him. Your dad
is a good and kind person. I always told

you that.
- If he's good and kind why did he left us?

We seemed to love each another.
- You will grow up and understand.

Never! I will never understand this. And I
will never love anyone except you.

And we don't need anyone!

How much?

Here, in the shadow.

What happened?
- Got sick on the ship. Malaria.

You've been crying?

You've been crying.

No, just some boy throw sand in my eyes.

You've been crying?
Yes, you've been.

[indistinct chattering]

Hello to you, the most wild of the wild dogs!

Hello.

Who are you talking to?
- Him. I haven't seen him all summer.

Guys, she's coming!

Girls, she's coming!

Good morning, children.
- Hello!

Sit down!

Guys, today is a great occasion for us,
we start learning again. I'm glad to be

with you again. You all grew up, I got older,
but we were always friends, weren't we?

We have new pupils. Your names, please.

Gagela-Gandlevsky.

And you?
- Borsch.

Take your seats, boys.

So let's begin. I hope you learned a lot
and forgot nothing during this summer.

Why are you sighing, Fil'ka?

I woke up at sunset to write a letter
to my friend, and put it aside, 'cos I

forgot how to punctuate.

It's bad you forgot this.

Tanya, haven't you forgotten this?
Tell us the rule.

If there is an address to a person,
we need a coma or an exclamation mark.

Well, Tanya remembers the rule well.
Go to the desk. Write an example

with the address to someone.

'Hey comrad, don't be sad!'

You seem to forget everything. It's even
not about comas, you write 'comrade'

without 'E'.

But it's a verb!
- What verb? Why?

Sure it's a verb. You comrad,
he comrads...

You're so big. I should've brought you
flowers, not sweets.

It's unbelievable how our city
has changed.

And here it's all the same.

Yes we keep it that way. I will make
some tea.

Pity you weren't on the pier.
But we got late, Kolya caught malaria

and we had to wait for the orderlies.
You know he's going to go to your school,

maybe even your class. What is it, Tanya?

Don't talk so loud, I can hear you
very well.

I know you're angry with me. I hope
we can be friends. Can we?

Let's have some tea. Do you want tea?

That's the way you are. It must be hard
in your age. Let's go drink your tea.

[indistinct chattering]

Well done, Fil'ka!

He's nice.
- Who?

Kolya.
- He plays awfully.

I don't get it. Is he your brother?
- No.

Cousin?
- Yes.

But you have the same name. So cousin
or just relative?

Leave me alone. Relative.
- And you say cousin. It's a difference!

Fil'ka, wait!
- Leave me alone!

Tanya, you hear that?
- Fil'ka, come hear. You're bleeding.

Hurts? We're late.

Don't take this bandage off. I'll change
it tomorrow. Tiger!

'You've been crying?'

Why so late? Haven't you got worms?
- Try get them. It's not late, come on.

You got rods?
- Yeah.

What are you waiting?
- What about Kolya?

Oh, Kolya. We'll wait for him by
the bridge. Cossack!

Why do you need the cat?

Shh, Fil'ka, he knows well why we
go fishing.

You found our place!

I'm sorry. I didn't know it was

your place.
- It's not a private property.

You threw him in the water on purpose,
I saw! You're a coward!

Tanya, believe me, he fell himself.

Let me through, I won't sit here
anymore. And don't follow me.

But will you come for dinner today?
Dad will wait for you, he will say

it's my fault.
- So that's what you're afraid of.

No, you get it wrong.
- I got it right, I won't come today.

I will never come to you.

Kolya, does she like cabbage pies?

Don't know. They make pies with
bird cherry here.

We need to make one the next time.

Don't just stand. Why only three plates?
- She.. she might be late.

Late? Why?
- Some hobby group at school. A rehearsal

or something.
- But it's Sunday evening. Kolya,

go get her.
- Can't be helped. I told her.

And it will end late.

Dad, it's my fault. I didn't want,
it just... She will never come back.

You're still here?

Aren't you going to your father's?

Why? Why are you asking?
- Because it's indecent to make people

wait for you. Go change your shoes,
these are improper.

Okay.

Hungry too? I didn't count on you.
You could perfectly eat at home!

These dogs ate all my fish! And you?
Aren't you going to your father's?

Why you all keep bothering me?!
I don't go anywhere. I'll never go

there again.
- Did your father hurt you?

You don't understand, Fil'ka.
I just can't stand Kolya anymore.

What did he do to you? And who is he
to you, that you can hurt your father

so easily?

You're right! Who is he? And why do
I care? This is my father! Tiger, come!

Why do I care about him?
I go to my father's.

Tanya, hello! Come in!
- Hello.

Tanya, that's great! Take you cloths off.

- We started worrying.

Hello, Kolya.

You like bird berry pies? Kolya told me
today, I will make it.

No, I don't like bird berry pies.
Kolya misunderstood.

We have dumplings today, me and Kolya
made them.

Sit down please.

Kolya, entertain her, and I need you
in the kitchen.

Why do you think they quarreled?

Venerable seigniors, the dinner
is served.

Come on, Tanya, take your seat.

Someone said that can't make it
today for dinner?

I didn't come for dinner.
No, I'm not hungry.

Tanya, what's that?
- No, thank you.

What about all these dumplings?
- I ate at home with mom.

Dad, don't ask her the third time,
she just won't eat.

She won't if she doesn't want to.
But the dumplings are so good.

Dad, is that right that herrings
are salty even at sea? Kolya says so,

he doesn't believe in zoology.
- What is it with you? You're confusing

things today.
- Yes, I don't believe in zoology.

What kind of science is it?
The cat has four legs and a tail.

What do you like then?
- Math. If two circumferences have one

same dot etc. And literature.
- Oh, literature? 'A donkey saw a nightingale'.

Maybe I should leave your plate?
- No-no, I just wanted to give some

dumplings to the dog. May I?
- Be my guest, give him the whole plate.

What happened, Tanya? What's your grief?
Please tell me what's wrong.

Maybe I can help.
Tanya, what is it?

[reciting Lermontov's
'Mtsyri' ('Novice')]

That's enough, Kolya.

Kolya saw the place where Lermontov's
duel took place.

Really? Interesting. You've been
to Pyatigorsk?

Yeah, near mount Mashuk.
- Have you seen the Lermontov's house?

Very ordinary. Hard to believe that he
had seen the same mountains. Ordinary too.

Grand?
- Not really. I tried to think of them

as of grand, but I just couldn't.
It's just mounains.

How can you say so? these are the mountains
described by so many poets...

Tanya, what are you thinking of?
That the third time I address to you.

Why aren't you listening?
Well?

He is not interesting to listen to.

That's not true. We're all listening to him
with pleasure. Have you been to Pyatigorsk?

My parents didn't take me there.
- You need to listen, then.

Why? Does it matter for our lesson?
- I get it. You think of something else.

Would you share your thoughts with
the class?

There's dancing today at the club.
I think of dancing.

I don't believe it. You think of something
way different. And I don't understand you.

She's in love with him!

Belyakova!
- He pushed me!

Bogarevsky?
- I didn't mean it.

You may sit down.
- May I change the place?

Is it uncomfortable for you to sit
with Jenya?

It's that tree.
- I don't get it. Sit where you like.

You may also sit down.
- May I take her place?

What is the matter with you all?

Faster! Faster!

Enough for today.

[Pupils stage Chekhov's 'The Jubilee'.

Their remarks are incorporated into
Chekhov's text.]

Your excellency, I'm principal secretary's

wife Mrs. Merchutkina.'
'How?'

'Merchutkina.'
- 'What do you want?'

'You see, Your Excellency, my husband'
is spending his time dog-riding or skating.

With Fil'ka.
- Cultivates temper.

What does it have to do with temper?

Accept new members?

First you should say hello, second we
already asked you and you refused.

Third, if I'm not mistaken, you're
already a member of a shooting circle.

Yes, and of astronomic too. Why?
You know what it's called?

Dilettantism.
- Right.

Wait. Will you read a fable?
- Sure.

Here.

'That's not fair, Your Excellency.
I'm a weak woman' First we persuade

her, than she comes herself. Of course,
because it's Tanya, she can do everything.

Astronomic, dramatic circles, sure,
'cause she has such beautiful eyes!

What about it?
- You said so in teacher's room yesterday.

Think no one heard it?
- He said only that her eyes are grey.

But you're right as always, Jenya.
Her eyes _are_ beautiful.

Would you like to have such beautiful eyes,
wouldn't you?

I definetely wouldn't!

'That's not fair, Your Excellency.
I'm a weak woman...

Tanya, now you. Take a bow when finished
and leave. OK?

Jenya, you talk like an accountant.
Take a bow, leave. Her last words

won't be heard because of applause.
- Very funny.

Break your leg!

A table and a chair. A fable.

[Starts with a fable, forgets her lines,
and recites a dramatic verse instead]

Well, I told you!

Tanya, I was so worried. You did great!

So, you made your peace!

Nonsense, Fil'ka. He just said he
was worried. He's so responsive.

Let's invite him to our New Year party.
- But it's tomorrow. And it's your birthday.

Tanya? Help me please. You've got C
in English this semester.

Yes.
- You seemed to be sad about that earlier.

And now you don't care?
- I do, it's unpleasant. Dad is coming soon.

Yes. And Nadezhda, I invited her.
She seems to be a nice person.

Stop it!

Tanya, hello!
- And Jenya?

She can't come, she has another party
to visit. Can we dance in here?

Yes, you can do everything today.

What?
- Such a beautiful dress.

Congratulations, Tanya!

It's very beautiful, thank you.

And Kolya?

Well, he didn't want to go together.
He had something to do.

He will come.
- Who? There's everyone I invited.

Tanya? Look, your father is dancing.
- Yes, he dances very well. And you?

Today everyone must dance!

Let me drag.

Yura, we are waiting!

Tanya?

Tanya, where've you been?
- I just went to catch some fresh air.

Tanya, wait.

I do not keep fish in fishtanks,
like Jenya does. We'll have to fry it.

Nana, fry this fish with some potatoes.
Tanya asks.

Yes, please.

Have any plans for tomorrow?

Me and Jenya are going to the skating-rink.
Wanna come with us?

Maybe.

Well, Fil'ka?
- Someone is going to the skating-rink

tomorrow. With Kolya.
- You?

Who, then?
- Jenya.

Did he ask to tell me anything else?
- Ehm, and I can eat a candle!..

Fil'ka, it's bad!
- No, it's not. It's a little bit tasteless,

but funny. Isn't it funny?

Hooray! The lesson is cancelled! Hooray!

The blizzard is coming! Go home,
tell everyone you meet.

I know where this girl lives.
- Come back as soon as you can!

Alesandra Ivanovna told everyone
to go home. The blizzard is coming.

Can't you see?
- Kolya broke his leg! What are we going

to do? We shouldn't come here in such
weather.

Stop whining. Is an ordinary dislocation.
- Jenya, go find Fil'ka!

Why? Stop your nonsense. I know what
to do! Wait for me. Don't go.

It's so silly. Dad will worry.
I promised... Oh, so silly.

Fil'ka has dogs, I'll bring them here
in a moment, ok?

Where's Fil'ka? Go! Go!

Tanya! Fil'ka!

Stop! Stop!

That's a really good idea!

Let's drive by the shore!

But Jenya... they'll come...
- We have time. Go! Go!

Stop! Stop!

'...an accident. Tatiana Sabaneeva took
Nikolay Sabaneev dog-riding.

This incident, that could have had
tragic ending, is to remind us

of teacher's responsibility...'

Ah, boys!
- But she's a girl!

Doesn't matter.

I think it's heroic.
- Who needs such heroes? There was

a real battle alarm because of her.
- So what?

It's her! It's her!

But I only wanted to save him.
- It doesn't hurt. They lie a lot.

Tanya?

Heroine! She raised a general alarm!
- Tell one more word about her and I'll

kick the shit out of you!
- You? I will do that!

You're a stranger in our city, so I
kindly ask you to behave.

We looked everywhere. Fil'ka even
were at her house.

Maybe she went to the river again?
- Without her coat?

She doesn't need her coat,
she can do anything!

Tanya!

Tanya!

Well?

What are we gonna do?

Tanya?

What is it? Why are you crying?
- Maybe she's dead...

What?

Let her sleep, don't bother her.
- Let her sleep.

Tell that drummer I'm gonna
kill him.

Stop drumming, she's asleep.
Don't you have any conscience?

Why do you sleep dressed?
Stand up. I told you not to.

Do you hear me? Stand up,
let's have some tea.

I was at school. We went there
with your father. Tanya!

I need to talk to you.
I'm glad you have many friends.

This newspaper story doesn't
bother me, but you. You tell me

nothing, I have to find out
everything my own way. Kolya,

your strange doings and wishes.
Your Wild Dog Dingo nickname.

Why do you wear lipstick?
You didn't. It doesn't suit you.

Mom, I didn't mean to...

You still love him, don't you?

Let's leave! Anywhere, another
city, I don't care!

There are, you see, many kinds
of love. Modern love (give me this)

is not like retro love. She can't
sleep, she's overwhelmed by her

feelings, he sings under her window.
- Serenades.

Yes. Or like Tolya from school
#75 with his verses. I told him

it's old-fashioned.
- Would you like someone to be under

your window?
- Why not, I don't care.

And you? To go on a date at night?
- At night? On a date? Just meet.

And he must escort you.
- That's right.

Don't whistle, it brings bad luck.

That's right, there are different
kinds of love.

Fil'ka! Come on you.

Tomorrow is the last exam,
and you're out for an hour.

You know everything, but you don't
care about the others, do you? And I

will fail, I tell you.
- You could perfectly learn this

yourself. Okay. If two circles
have one same dot, than these

two circles are...
- Are you really going to the cape

with Kolya? That's why you put your
beautiful dress on. I know the place.

Don't go there, I ask you as a girl.
- I will go, Fil'ka.

A caterpillar, a caterpillar!!

What will I put on? Why did you
do this?

On purpose.

I didn't recognize you
in this gown. Why put it on?

I marred my grey dress, and the others
are in mother's wardrobe. Didn't

want to wake her.

I don't have a grey dress anymore.
Do you remember it?

Why talk about your silly dress?
I don't even remember it.

I think only of you.
- Always?

Always. Even when you're not around.
That's strange for me.

Yes, it is strange. But good.
So you will think of me always,

even when I leave? I'm going
to leave soon.

Where?
- Me and mother decided that it's

better for us to leave.
- But why? Do you hate me still?

Don't remind me of that.

I wasn't myself then. I hated you
and feared you.

Now I want you to be happy.

Can't everyone be happy? You,
your mother, father, aunt Nadya?

Why not?
- Maybe we can, I don't know.

I must go now. Good bye. Kolya?

Tanya! Was it everything you wanted
to tell me? Was it?

You need something else?

Fil'ka!

Fil'ka, my mother is waiting,
I've been looking for you since

morning. What are you doing here, eh?

How did you do it?

Let people see it, if they so easily
leave one another. And you can laugh

as long as you want.

You're so young, Fil'ka. These marks
will disappear when winter comes and

you put your warm shirt on.

But the sun is so strong. Is it
really going to disappear? Maybe

something will stay visible?

You're right, Fil'ka. Everything cannot
just disappear. Otherwise where does our

loyal friendship go?

The End
