Wimp.

I’m not a wimp.

You’re crying like a wimp.

I’m crying...

because my dad has died.

He died?

But I saw him last month!

He got sick after that.

He got so weak he couldn’t even lift a spoon.

No way, no one dies from that.

He cried a lot and died.

Yeah, that’s how my hamster died.

I’ll be doing my dad’s job now.

Come on.

Dads don’t just die like that.

Yes, they do.

They get sick and die.

Gonna pay?

Fine, then you can't play anymore.

Next!

What do you want?

It’s my turn now!

But you’re a girl!

So what?

It’s okay, let her.

See you, bro.

See you.

See you, bro!

Am I not a “bro”?

You are not a boy.

What if our dad dies too?

Why would he?

Not enough for a cake.

Can we buy a cupcake?

How old is dad?

Thirty three.

I can only fit seven of them.

Hurry up.

He’s coming!

Come on, quick.

Oh, wow.

Happy birthday to you,

Happy birthday to you,

Happy birthday to you,

Happy birthday, happy birthday,

Happy birthday to you!

Mom!

Congrats.

[Application for Divorce]

What is it?

Not now, please.

When?

Get dressed, kids.

When?

Calm down, woman.

A man is as good as his word.

Or as bad as his house.

Wait till I finish building it, you'll love it.

I've been waiting for a whole year.

Get off of me.

I love you.

What happened?

I’ll go get it, so you can live longer.

Thanks, give to me.

Everything keeps falling apart in this village!

Calm down, woman, let the man take care of it.

Maybe I’m a boy?

Maybe you’re a wolf?

Application for divorce.

It’s an…

…an application for a driver’s license, a new one.

In the city, we could just take it to a repair shop.

Huh?

In the city, we could just take it to a repair shop. Here...

Here the air is cleaner.

What for?

Be glad I didn't kill you

Get up.

Remember what I told you?

Mm-hmm.

Men don’t cry.

I need to pee!

Behave like a girl, will you?

Garbage truck isn’t coming today.

How come?

He’s sick.

Get us some fuel.

And the money?

Anyone can do it with money.

Bring me the jerrycan.

Hurry up or there will be no Chinamen left.

Is it open?

Three thousand.

Deal?

What’s up, guys?

You're a girl, so act like one

or you’ll grow a beard.

Woah!

[AIBEK]

Hey there...

Bye, guys.

You call that a punch?

Full tank!

The man who wears an Abibas…

Gets to handle women’s bras!

Want me to bring you one from China?

[AIBEK]

Hey there!

You punch just like my grandma.

You’ll do better next time.

Your turn.

Show them, dad!

Heard about the giant with a bag full of beauties?

Looks like he dropped one right here.

Wanna try again?

I have work.

Do it again.

Not today.

Let’s go.

See you, bro.

Bro!

Truck full of candy!

You can buy it in China.

Surveillance cameras.

You can buy it in China.

Chocolate fountain.

You can buy it too.

China has got everything.

Here.

Good luck and take care.

🎶Balkhadisha, the sweet daughter of Ybyrai,

🎶Your waist as thin as a young sapling…

That’s it, I’m tired! We need the money!

Stop crying and get to work.

But if daddy cries, so I can cry too!

Dad? Crying?

Impossible.

Who’s stronger, dad or Uncle Vitya?

Who’s stronger, dad or–

Dad.

Want to bet?

Fine.

The loser has to eat...

a whole onion.

Agreed.

[STOP DOMESTIC VIOLENCE]

How much?

A thousand.

Give us a discount?

Bulk discount starts from five.

Five for 4000.

We’ll take five, please.

Where’s your mom?

At work.

Does your dad beat your mom?

No, my mom beats us all.

Stop changing the price down.

I want to do it!

Stop whining and hurry up.

Zhabai!

Serik!

I’ll be back soon. Sit here and don’t leave.

Can I keep selling?

No!

Mom will kill you.

Fine, keep selling!

I’ll be back soon.

Yeah, “soon”.

I haven't got all day.

These are the materials.

I’m here, call me if you need me.

Mm-hmm.

Something wrong?

Nothing.

Preparing the bricks.

You need to finish

before she gets back.

Who?

Lunch time.

Get lost.

We are working.

I can see that.

Take your stuff and go.

Quickly!

Doing well, Mr. Man.

Can we return to the city now?

Not like managing office clerks, is it?

Downshifting my ass.

The divorce application?

Sign it.

Gotcha.

Whatever.

Look.

Nothing special.

Mine’s almost too big for my pants.

Girls will love it.

Just keep your pants on, please. We don't need to see it again.

Eww! Put them back on!

Disgusting!

Fine. I'll spare you.

How about you?

What’s this?

We were picking onions.

You’re not a man yet?

Can’t get it up yet?

You’re not a man11.

Can’t hear anything.

I’ll go closer.

You silly goose.

What were you up to?

Careful!

I’ll be tender.

Let go of me!

Spying on us?

No! I was picking onions!

Under the truck?

Are you lying to me? Huh?

I’m not lying!

Huh?

I’m not lying!

Having a party, are we?

What’s up?

I didn’t cry at all.

Good man!

Look.

They cut out my kidney.

Didn’t shed a tear.

I'd like to see do it without anesthesia.

What about you yesterday?

You also did well.

Don’t talk nonsense.

When snake wouldn’t come out.

There’s a snake?

I heard there are snakes here.

Watch out for them.

The bean didn’t sprout, you know?

And not a tear.

That’s progress.

It’s nothing to worry about.

Want a permanent boner?

I wouldn’t mind a man who’s able.

How would I go to the toilet?

China!

The Greatest Civilization.

There’s no problem they can’t solve.

I present to you

a unique elixir!

Golden Viagra, gentlemen…

and lady.

Take it

and become a strong man.

Look, I sold everything.

Well done.

I asked you not to do that. It leaves crumbs.

Do you have to do it right now?

When else?

You sprained your back on purpose.

To get back at me.

Are you kidding?

Did you sign the paper?

Be a man, sign the paper.

Can you help me out tomorrow? Don’t change the subject.

I already paid for the Chinese guys.

And fired them, and my back–

Your back, I can see that.

We’re moving.

Where to?

Back to the city.

But what about our house?

What house?

This yurt?

Take this.

Pass me the spoon.

What is this?

A camera that makes instant photos.

Mine!

This is mine!

And this one, and this one!

Why do you need two?

For mom and dad!

Dad’s punch was weak today.

Maybe he got sick?

He couldn’t even lift a spoon just now.

Dad’s gonna die.

Next page.

Where are the pages with Lego?

Do I have good breasts?

What?

Nothing.

Too small.

What are you doing?

Has anything changed?

No.

You sleep in that corner.

Fine, I’ll help you.

I’ll come in the afternoon.

I love you.

What happened?

We need to get the Golden Viagra from Uncle Vitya.

You stay here, I’ll be back soon.

How come you won’t kiss me?

Because I’m married.

What are you looking at?

A snake?

Wait!

Hate them…

Come, I’ll show you something!

Show us what?

There’s a dead horse over there.

Ah, I’ll pass.

I prefer sex.

It was hit by a truck!

Seriously?

Is it in pieces?

There’s no snake.

There is.

What?

Zhabai was here.

What?

I need to find him and tell that I’m not a whore.

Don’t be silly.

What do you think it looked like?

Well…

Like we were exercising.

He’s still small.

Let’s go.

Well…

I’ve got things to do.

And I’m not great with kids.

They’re all little shitheads.

Fine, do your things then, Mr. Big Shot.

Don’t pout, little fish.

Where is it?

In pieces?

Looks like they moved it.

And cleaned the blood?

I did it.

Where’s Zhabai?

He went up the hill to do something.

OK, see you tonight, then.

Here.

I get the whole chocolate?

Also, make sure to tell Zhabai

that Uncle Vitya was helping me fix my back.

I was screaming from the pain.

Ouch!

Ah!

Ah!

Want some?

What’s wrong?

Dad really was crying.

Mom was doing sex with Uncle Vitya.

Mom found a new dad?

I hope they won’t separate us.

How’s that?

You’ll live with Uncle Vitya

and you’ll call him “dad”.

Do I have to?

Yes, that’s the rule.

I told you so, Uncle Vitya is stronger.

Because he has the Viagra.

Will ask him?

Ask him?

For dad.

Never!

Then, let’s steal some Golden Viagra for dad.

You can be smart sometimes.

Bro!

Nice try.

Where is the truck?

Gone...

Look, I learned how to tie a bow.

Let’s go.

Where’s Zhabai?

Didn’t I ask you–

Not to interrupt, yeah. Where is he?

On the highway, where else?

Yeah, of course.

So, what do you have there? Show me.

Are you an idiot?

Last time I’m helping you.

Did you sign the paper?

You forgot?

I remember.

What do you remember?

You need it right now?

Got a pen?

You are an idiot.

I spent the morning with Vitya.

In the hills.

Picking onions?

Among you crude men, he’s the only one I can talk to.

At least we are safe and stable.

Stable, huh?

Why did you bring this?

Drop it.

No, I collected it myself.

Drop it, I’m telling you.

No.

Where are you going?

Stay on the lookout.

Hurry up!

Be quiet!

[CHINA]

Oh, China!

You can buy anything in China.

Zhabai?

What happened?

I was scared.

Get out, quick!

I hate Uncle Vitya.

The bastard ate them all.

Are we going to China?

That's right!

You can buy anything in China.

That’s where we’ll get the Viagra.

They’ll be looking for us.

Don’t worry,

we’ll be back before lunch.

You’ve got chocolate on you.

So do you.

Shithead.

Yuck.

You don’t love me.

You don’t care for me.

Am I not handsome at all?

You don’t look at my face,

Not overcome with passion.

Overcome with passion.

Sounds strange.

Zhabai saw me with Vitya.

What should I tell him now?

What did he see?

Vitya and I were in his car enjoying ourselves…

Wait.

Where are you going, Aibek?

Come back.

Aibek!

Come back!

I was a fool!

Let’s go get the children.

I need a quick shower. No time for that.

You’ll do the talking.

Where did they go?

Don’t stare at me.

Maybe they went to the gas station?

Why would they leave the bag...

Wake up!

Saniya!

We have to go now.

Where are we going?

Here.

So much onion!

[Speaking Chinese] Thieves!

[Speaking Chinese] Give it back!

[Speaking Chinese] Give it back.

Take it.

Give it.

It’s mine!

Give it to him right now.

I collected it myself!

Let go of my sister!

My onions!

Come on!

He’s so strong.

And handsome.

Nothing special.

Where did you learn to fight?

I said where did you learn to fight?

Is he dumb?

Maybe he’s deaf?

Dad!

Viagra!

[Speaking Russian] Buy!

[Speaking Kazakh] Buy!

[Speaking Chinese] Buy!

This girl fights better than I do.

And she didn’t grow a beard.

[Speaking Chinese] Why does everyone react like that?

Where are we going?

Can we go back?

We need to get the Viagra.

You’re in love with her.

Don’t be ridiculous.

If don’t get back before dinner,

mom will kill us.

Why aren’t you at work?

Afanasich, we…

Can’t find our children. Have you seen Zhabai?

I am seeing him right now.

Where?

Take a look.

I see him every day,

your partner in crime.

Hello.

Hello.

Where’s the fifth camera that I placed over there?

I moved it to the toilet,

to stop toilet paper thieves.

Do you think they ran away?

What, it’s my fault now?

Well, not mine.

Can I have the phone?

Sure.

Hello!

Hello, police?

Give it to me.

Hello, police?

No point in calling them.

My children are missing.

What is your phone number?

My number?

777-705-20-22

How long has it been?

About four hours ago. Call us when it's been 3 days.

No, you don’t understand… We can only start the search after 3 days.

No, wait–

Hurry up, let’s go!

I told you, it’s useless.

Thank you.

[Speaking Chinese] Hurry up.

Saniya.

Take a picture of me.

I’ll be as strong, when I grow up.

And you won’t.

Now what?

Let’s buy it.

Give me the money.

[Speaking Chinese] Hey!

[Speaking Chinese] What are you doing here?

[Speaking Chinese] Go away.

[Speaking Chinese] Go away!

[Speaking Chinese] Go!

Give me.

Give it back!

This is not right!

For the Viagra.

Mr. Grandpa, give is a Viagra, please.

[Speaking Chinese] Grandpa? I am not yet sixty.

[Speaking Chinese] Excuse me.

[Speaking Chinese] Give us one box please.

[Speaking Chinese] We don’t sell to children.

[Speaking Chinese] We really need it.

[Speaking Chinese] This is not for children.

Uncle Vitya!

[Speaking Chinese] Xiao Li, how are you?

[Speaking Chinese] Oh, Vitya! [Speaking Chinese] Hello, hello! How are you?

[Speaking Chinese] Come, come! Look what I got here.

[Speaking Chinese] Lots of new stuff, look.

[Speaking Chinese] Are you mad?

[Speaking Chinese] Why did you give it back?

You want your hands chopped off?

Saniya, let’s go.

Saniya?

Where’s Saniya?

Mom will kill me.

[Speaking Chinese] Go talk to an adult.

No way!

This is all your fault!

Saniya!

[Speaking Chinese] Thank you!

Bye, boss!

[Speaking Chinese] Hello.

[Speaking Chinese] Hello!

Saniya?

Saniya?

[Speaking Chinese] You don’t look well.

Saniya.

Saniya.

Saniya!

Come here.

Come here.

[Speaking Chinese] Come in, have some tea.

Let’s go!

Let’s stay for a bit.

Get up!

I found it.

Let’s go, I said.

I guess we can stay for a bit.

What’s wrong with him?

Show him your tongue.

[Speaking Chinese] You need to reduce bile.

[Speaking Chinese] Drink a choleretic.

[Speaking Chinese] Against bile.

That jerk Afanasich…

He’s right, though.

He shouldn’t abuse his power.

You’re on his side?

Well, he’s right.

Then marry him, you, wuss.

Let me hide you a bit. And draw more attention?

Come here!

Is Chundzha this way?

Chundzha…

Yes, we have a rally there.

Yes, that way.

Correct, it’s in this direction.

How far away?

Do you know?

Why would I?

Same here.

About 25 kilometers.

About 25 kilometers.

Is your vehicle broken?

No, we’re fine,

her legs are just tired.

Goodbye.

Good luck.

Couldn’t answer them without help?

Is there anything you can do on your own?

What for?

You like to decide for both of us.

How convenient.

The city was “too stifling” for you.

Well, you can do whatever you want here,

but now I am the reason you're not free?

Yes, you’re stifling us.

Squeezing all the air out.

Or maybe it’s you who failed?

Maybe you’re too weak?

Too used to sitting and staring at a screen.

You need to work with your hands here,

build everything up from scratch! I am happy to work!

But you’re always unhappy!

Running around with refined men.

I guess I smell like sweat and poverty.

You’re a moron!

Don’t you understand anything?

I’m tired!

You only care about cleaning up the planet!

Instead of caring for your family!

You think I’m not trying?

Are you, though?

The children have been homeless for a whole year.

The children have been homeless for a year,

without proper water or food.

What are you doing?

Calm down!

Calm down, I said.

Calm down, I said!

I thought we were in this together,

you and I against the world, you know?

I thought I had a husband that I could lean on,

but you…

Turns out you’re a wimp!

I have to be the woman and the man!

And you don’t care, it suits you just fine!

You’re not a man, do you hear me?

I do not love you.

Hello?

You called us about your children?

We found them.

They found them.

Your backbiters will be delivered to you.

Are you at home?

See, and you said it’s useless!

Everyone must do their job.

You find the children,

and we keep calm and collected.

Let’s go home.

I still need to wash up.

Let’s go!

Help!

They’re going to kill me!

[Speaking Chinese] Be still, so the bedbugs won't bite.

Eat that!

Perverts!

[Speaking Chinese] Oh you misunderstood

[Speaking Chinese] Thank you for your help.

[Speaking Chinese] We need to go.

What an embarrassment, huh?

Why did you bring him?

[Speaking Chinese] You’re welcome.

[Speaking Chinese] You’re cool.

Thirty minutes more and it'll be over.

Careful with your hairdo.

All grown up now.

Why is that?

Well…

He became a real man.

Not funny.

Enough? Mm-hmm.

What’s wrong?

You haven't touched me in a while.

Okay, I won’t. You haven't touched me in a while.

Okay, I won’t.

Can you be rough?

Not like that.

Rough but tender, like Vitya.

Sorry, it slipped out.

I’m sorry…

Stay…

there.

Got the address?

Hello.

I’m calling about the children.

Have you arrived home?

Yes, we’re home.

You can pick up the boys in Chundzha.

We can pick up the boys in Chundzha.

The boys?

The boys?

Yes.

Yes.

Look.

Let’s try to be optimistic.

Are you dumb?

Let’s go!

Where?

They’re at the gas station with Afanasich probably,

getting fed fried sausages.

I accept.

Accept what?

Here, I signed it.

You’ve given up?

Don’t want to keep you from being happy.

What about our house?

I promised to finish it, so I will.

You’ll stay here in the village?

Take it.

I don’t want to spoil your happiness.

Happiness.

Are you not happy?

Very happy.

Maybe we should talk about it?

It fell off.

What were you doing in China?

We wanted to buy medicine.

Tell him.

Tell him how we couldn’t get Viagra.

Tell him everything.

Fine.

This is my hat.

Take it.

Do you live in a house or a flat?

In a flat.

How many rooms?

Three.

He will share a room with mom, right?

Is it okay if we don’t call you “daddy” for now?

Where are you going?

I don’t want my dad to die.

I’m coming with you.

You two, get back in!

Maybe we shouldn’t?

Mom’s going to kill us.

Fine, let’s go.

Where are the kids?

I can’t wait, call the police.

They said three days…

Lie for the sake of our children.

Hello.

How can we help you?

Our kids are missing,

a boy and a girl, 10 and 11 years old.

When did you see them last?

Three days ago.

Hello?

Yes.

Hello?

I’ll call you back.

Where were you?

Time to go.

Come with me.

I know what to do.

Hurry up.

A kiss!

You’re a real man now.

Yes.

Weren’t you bad with kids?

Well, I just saved them.

Let’s go, savior.

To grab your stuff?

We'll get ice-cream on the way.

Come here, quickly.

Saniya, please, go with your mom.

I’ll buy a constructor kit…

And a toy car.

Patience.

We need them to kiss.

Hands.

Let’s go.

Don’t do it.

Stay with your dad.

Drive.

Wait, Zhabai is not coming with us?

He’ll stay with his dad for now,

Dad, stop her!

I can’t.

This is for you, so that you can!

Asshole!

Stand back!

Mom, please!

Don’t want to spoil my happiness?

Is this how you do it?

He acted like a man.

That’s right, you want him to be a moron like you?

I’m talking to… Ouch!

Oh… I’m sorry.

What do you think you’re doing?

Try it again and–

And what?

You’ll see.

Show me.

I paid for the doner kebab.

And then we ate at my mom’s. Doesn’t count, because you didn’t pay.

I paid for the groceries.

It cost far less, though…

I know who’s paying for dinner tonight.

Looks like a fight.

[Dispatcher] Is there a free car in Chundzha?

[Dispatcher] There are signals. Gathering of feminists. Who is close?

Hey!

What’s going on here?

What’s the occasion?

Everything’s fine.

Let me be the judge of that.

I’m sorry, officer.

Drunk, are you?

I am meditating.

Are you gay, then? Watch your language.

Breathing exercises.

Oh, yeah.

Or are you fighting over her?

There’s a flat tire…

Yeah... Of course.

Fighting over a whore, aren’t you?

Hey!

Dad is super strong.

A real man.

Don’t you dare call my wife that. So, you can cry and still be a man?

Get off me!

Let her go! Mommy! What is this?

I demand that you let her go!

Go away.

Easy there.

Go away from here.

Move along.

Nothing to see here.

Punch me.

Not like that!

Good…

But it didn’t help.

Ouch.

Ouch!

Can we make a deal, sir?

Our children need us.

[Policeman] No way.

[Policeman] What's it gonna be, pushover?

Shut your mouth.

[Policeman] How dare you speak like that?

Dispatcher.

We’re bringing in the perps from the gas station.

[Dispatcher] Unauthorized protest in Chundzha. Calling all units.

We’ll deliver the perps and will head there.

[Dispatcher] Negative, it’s an emergency. All units.

You’re just as are strong, as your dad.

You think so?

Yeah, a crybaby like him.

Let them go.

Should I?

Do it.

Get out.

This is Zhabai.

Remember I told you about him?

Zhabai, this is my dad, Kairat.

Nice to meet you.

The one who died?

Dad, mom’s calling for us.

I’m sorry.

I told you, I’m not good with children.

Zhabai.

Do you have a sheet of paper?

Look at that!

We have a new...

New record!

Champion!

You know... Little boys...

Let me help.

No, no, no!

Ouch!

Here?

You lost the bet.

What’s the smell?

Oh no, you’ll stink again.

I know what’ll help.

A proven method.

No.

It’ll help.

Eat it and smell me.

See, no smell?

Here, some sugar.

Helps with the sour taste.

They print houses on 3D printers in China.

What’s a tweedy printer?

I’ll bring one and we’ll build one in no time.

And the material?

Do they print using dry dung?

The viagra has worked!

Through the box?

Alright.

I have to go.

I’ve got stuff to do.

Good bye.

Bye.

You have a nice car.

I like it too.

You forgot this.

Do you only sit in the front?

Well, yes...

At the wheel.

Good.

Where's the divorce paper?

I gave it to you.

I can still smell the stink.

[Application for Divorce]

Little shitheads.

Stop.

Don’t, I’ll get them myself later.

We’ll do it together.

Go, help him.

You too, go help.

Faster!

Is this a boy?

He got a boner for a boy?

It’s a girl!

Prove it!

A man’s word.

Ew! Cunt, twat, not a man!

Saniya, tell them it was a girl.

And she fights better than you do.

Good bro!
