- Hello - Hello

Fakhriddin, don't forget...

- Hi, are you doing fine? - How are you doing, Sir?

Hey Sir, I put the radio here, is it okay?

It's okay. How's everything?

- Great! - How's your health?

- Like a good old cock! - Yes. Let it be like that!

- Good morning. - Hello...

Have a look and see if some letter has arrived? Go...

Moscow! Moscow! Madam, connect me with Moscow!

Norkuzi, damn it, she's made one more son!

- Sir, hey Sir! - Three and a half kilos.

Fifty-two... two... no brother. Why do you need money?

Come yourself! Do you understand?

- Is there a letter for us? - That's it.

Come on, give me a letter, uncle.

There's nothing. My dear lady, please connect me once more with Moscow!

No dad, there wasn't any letter.

- Did you see the postman himself? - Yeah.

Don't joke in the classroom. Son, don't fight with your friends, do you hear me?

- Okay, Dad. - Go!

- Good morning. - Hello...

Good morning, children!

Good morning Mister headmaster!

Okay, sit down.

Well, who's turn is it today?

- Sarvinoz! - No, it's not Sarvinoz, it's Muhiba.

Is everyday present, Muhiba dear?

Sharofat's mother is sick. Azamjon went to see his uncle.

Now, let's check your notebooks.

Okay, let's see...

What was the homework? That's very good.

Good. Let's see yours.

You've been able to do it.

As you do harder, shall you get more.

Let me see my son.

You didn't listen to me at yesterday.

Do you understand?

I taught you twice yesterday.

Look at this D... How about you?

And next, you...

What should I do with Ahmadkhon?

Should I send him away? No! In that case why don't you learn?

Ahmadkhon, nowadays an illiterate man

can earn the money.

This is your last warning. If you give a heck of what I say one more time, I'll send you away.

Look at his notebook's shape?

Aren't you ashamed? I'll check tomorrow again.

Let's start with you... well, that's much better.

Children, did everybody read about the ant?

Yes!

Well, who's going to read the story?

Me! Me! Me, headmaster! I'll read! I'll read!

Raise your hands, only!

You read, Ahmadkhon.

Ahmadkhon, come to the blackboard and read out loud, dear.

Everybody listen to him.

Start from the beginning.

Keep silent and pay attention.

The anty...

coms in dillage... and noks...

Silence, children.

U... ka...

Listen, we already learned the syllables. We were saying that

there were small and big,

black and yellow ants,

and they all used to be neighbors in the village.

- May I come in? - And ant...

- When is your biology class? - After this class.

After, let's have the kids sing 'giszh, gizh' to my bull.

All right we'll go, we'll go.

- Listen to me. - The animal's not doing it.

The... ant, you see? It's very easy.

Ahmadkhon can't even separate syllables

and pronounce the letter 'r'.

Well, children, I am going for you a few words with the letter 'r'.

All of you write these words neatly in your notebooks.

Ahmadkhon, go sit down.

Most of you can't and pronounce the letter 'r'.

Ar-ra...

Bar-ra,

- dar-ra... - Take it, don't be angry, pall.

All these words will be your reading homework, and you'll repeat the

Exercise everyday.

Come on... pronouns the letter 'r'.

R-r-r...

You see, she can't pronounce it,

let's repeat it all together again.

Khar-ar-ar...

Ar-ra... Bar-ra... Bar-ra... da-ra...

Very good, my children! Very good.

This class... We'll see... one minute.

Good morning.

Is the national anthem ready?

Ah... we're in class, can't it wait for a little while?

Visitors have come from far away, they don't have any time.

It's for a radio program.

We know the subject, but not the music.

- Have them sing whatever you know. - Give it to me.

- Good morning, children! - Good morning.

Sit down, all of you.

Children, we're going to sing our national anthem for a radio program.

If you sing well, they will record our voices.

Let's begin: One, Two. Three...

Oh, honored country of ours,

have us stand high in glory!

May the state and happiness you grant us be of no harm!

We've come from ancient times!

We stand in line,

we stand in line beneath your flag...

in line, long live our nation,

our independent Tajikistan!

Come on kids, faster, faster! In ancient times,

great and wise men were usually associated with extraordinary traits.

Alexander aimed to establish a great and lawful empire.

It is said that he even conquered this land.

Look at the top over there...

that one, on the top of those hills it said that a terrible battle took place.

In the battlefield, the hooves of cavaliers saw...

...the world go beneath them like the faces of slaves.

During the battle, Alexander's favorite horse, Butsefal, was killed by an arrow.

Look over there. Can you see the mounds on top of this hills?

On top of one of them, Alexander built a magnificent sarcophagus

and buried Butsefal's corpse together with all its jeweled outfit.

And then so that nobody find it,

his men built similar mounds on the top of all the hills.

It is said that every hundred years Butsefal's spirit raises

from its burial mound and treads along these very hills.

Whoever has the chance to see it, lives a happy fate sees his wishes and aims come true.

There are many other such tales...

Now I'm going to tell you another story. It's also about Alexander.

Before that however, let's go to that mound over there.

Let's run children. Be careful, be careful not to fall.

Run. Run. Fast children.

Slow down. Don't fall down, come this way.

Come on, get in a circle. Just don't be afraid, don't be afraid.

I'm going to tell you a story, just listen and pay attention.

Five thousand years ago, there used to be a high tower here.

Nowadays the only thing that's remained is this mound of rocks.

Every nation buries their dead in different ways.

Ancient Egyptians would build magnificent shrines for their dead.

Hindus for example, burn their dead and throw the corpse's ashes on the water.

We Muslims remit our dead to the earth.

But in ancient times we had other customs of burying our dead.

We used to lay the dead inside this tower.

In the tower, there used to be a deep pit.

Then crows and scavengers would come and eat the corpses.

You see children, they would eat the bodies in the pit.

It is said in the times of Alexander when a man turned old,

his children would bring him to the pit and throw him there alive.

Since the poor old man wouldn't be able to get out, he would die.

Alexander had a vizier, who really loved his dad.

When his dad became old, he was forced to take him to the pit.

When the vizier saw the bones in the pit,

he felt so sorry that he didn't throw his father into the pit.

His father also advised him saying: Don't throw me in my son,

I will still be of some use to you.

The vizier built a chest and hide the old man inside so that nobody be able to see him.

He then took the chest with him wherever he went.

Alexander's army one day came to waterless desolate wasteland.

Many, many of his men died of thirst.

The vizier's dad seeing the calamity from a hole of his chest said to his son:

Tomorrow morning at dawn put a bowl of honey on a visible place.

A bee will come and eat until it becomes thirty.

It will then start flying until the sun rises and by that time it will already be beside some water.

Tie a thread on the bee's small foot and follow it.

And that is how the soldiers found their salvation.

Alexander then ordered that

old men be respected and longer thrown into pits.

That was the tale, children.

Wake up, wake up, go, go...

It's enough. That's enough. We can't excite the bull.

- I'm sorry. - No, I'm sorry.

Let's go, let's go.

I'm so sorry for bothering you.

I'm going to send you the butchery.

Get dressed and bring it over here, my dear son.

Aunty, hey aunty, Look over there. He's staring again.

- Did you water the flowers? - No.

- Go and do it immediately. - All right.

What are you staring at? Don't you have a tongue to speak.

Humph? Couldn't you find another place for your toilet?

It's smelly all over now.

Hey! Your damned eyes.

What do you write so much?

What's the use of this writing of yours if it doesn't bring us a cent.

Look at your son, don't you feel sorry for him?

Your writing has turned us into beggars.

Everybody makes fun of us.

If we would be well off,

he wouldn't have built a toilet

in front of our noses.

It stinks so much

you can't go outside.

Did he stare at you again?

Tell Fakhriddin to give all last year's wheat to the cattle.

Sir, you had loaned us some onions, I've brought some back.

Okay, go in and give them to my wife.

Good morning. How can I help you?

I'm the neighbor. I have a matter to discuss about with my neighbor.

Let me search you.

- How's my son... doing in school? - Fine.

Rustambek, take this guy in.

Okay, boss. Come in, Sir.

Hey, comrade, how are you doing?

Well you're seeing for yourself, I've changed occupations.

I couldn't make a living

out of being a schoolteacher.

How are you? Did you manage to have your book printed?

Not yet. I'm still re-writing the end.

You're a lucky man. Oh, there's the big boss, over there.

Over there? Thanks.

- How are you doing, brother? - Good morning.

You haven't irrigated them enough, you've actually wasted eighteen tons of onions!

- Hello sir. - Why are you standing there?

Go fetch some water for the bulls!

- Good morning sir. - Did you bring the money?

No.

Why?

Why don't you take this for the meanwhile. It's all I have got.

Eat it yourself!

If you don't fetch the money within three days, I'll sell your house.

You're still sitting here?

I've told you to take this downstairs!

I don't need a warehouse keeper of the sort. Kick him away!

Understand, sir.

Take care of yourself and concerning the doors.

Oh, what a pleasure.

- So you came to see me. - Are you doing well?

Welcome home!

I coming in just a second after an hour and a half.

Take your time.

Put the table and arrange everything for our guest!

Oh, well, thanks a lot.

We've just brought in twenty tons of flour, we need your signature.

Let the idiot suffer a little.

Boss, come this way.

Hi, Volodia. How's it going? Is the added mixture working?

Hello, boss.

For the mayor, prepare two pails of honey, but not of the pure sort.

Give one ton of fuel to Mahmad said, is it understood?

Understood.

Have a taste, boss.

That's too much, damn it! What have you done!

What is this doing here? Can't you even clean up this mess?

If you keep it up, I'll kick you all away!

Send the 10,000 boxes of Vodka to Moscow, and get the mayor's signature.

- Understood? - Hurry up!

I don't believe you recognized me. I'm your neighbor.

Well?

I have come with a request.

Would you be so kind as to pull out your toilet from our wall.

Believe me, the smell is simply unbearable.

- Who unleashed this guy in here. - The gate's guard.

Send him away.

Sir, sir give me a minute...

Zafar my friend...

- Where are you going? - I have to go somewhere.

- Sir. - Zafar, really I've got to go.

We've got to have a drink together.

Oh, come on my friend, I don't drink...

Only a small glass, you are my teacher, sir.

I know, I know...

- I'll be angry. - It's not appropriate, Zafar.

- Don't refuse, sir. - It's really not appropriate, Zafar.

Enjoy yourself, life's worth nothing...

Hello, sir.

Sir, I'll serve you myself, I've got money.

All right, all right.

I'll serve you myself.

All right, all right. It's shameful.

You have a seat, I'll bring it myself.

I'll saying that it doesn't matter, serve us two more,

Yeah, two more.

Sir, were you my dear old teacher?

Let's have a drink!

- Yes. - Let's drink for your health.

Leave me here, I'll sleep here.

- Good morning. - Hello, sir.

- Is our mayor here? - Yeah, he's here.

Dear mayor, really I beg you in the name of God help us, grant me a service.

Don't worry about all the problems

- we discussed about. - Thanks, sir.

The money you gave me will be

used for the village.

Well, headmaster.

Send me in either her father, brother or mother.

Then we'll take matters seriously.

Headmaster, did you have the big books printed?

Yes, they'll be printed.

Any help?

Let's go to your office, I've come to discuss an important matter.

Oh, I'm sorry, I'm really in a hurry. If you wish we can talk on my way.

Sir, it's not something to be discussed about in the street...

What's the matter with the place?

Don't think like that. Just tell me.

Speak out.

My neighbor has installed his toilet beside my wall.

The smell is so unbearable that we can't even sit in our house.

But that's not the worst:

Every time he goes to the toilet he stares at my wife with his greedy eyes.

Did you discuss about it with your neighbor yourself?

Yes I did. I entered his house to explain him,

and he gave orders to his men to send me away.

Let's go, we'll solve the matter in my office.

Hello.

Your turn will be the next one.

Our neighbor is a wealthy civilized man and rather proud of himself.

I, on the other hand, am nothing but an ant. However,

there are civil rules and ways human begins should be treated.

You're a teacher, you're the headmaster,

you write stories, you write poetry, and

you're supposed to understand simple things.

Have a seat. Now look at this book,

The law on Private Property. Private Property is a scared and

irrevocable right. According to what you say,

the toilet has been built inside the neighbor's property.

He can even build an aerodrome.

Since his house belongs to him, he can decide for himself.

Nobody has the right to interfere in has private property.

We, in the name of the village's State Authority,

and particularly I can not meddle in his personal matters.

Nobody can meddle.

It's not the matter of

our national office.

Sir, everything you said is perfectly correct.

Now you're the chief here, just tell him,

tell him not to stare at my wife anymore,

No...

The law in on your neighbor's side.

We cannot help you in any way.

- Is this what you think? - Come in.

Alijan, it's your turn, come in.

Your turn.

Thank you.

Hey my son. Come over here. Bring me some water.

Okay, fine. Should I bring it from the stream?

Yeah, bring it from the stream.

How are you doing my old fellow? How's your health?

More or less okay.

Come dear, food is ready. It's getting cold.

Yes, I'm coming.

- Hmm, Fakhriddien, what happened? - It's not your business!

I just wait and see till I catch him...

What's going on?

The mayor's son teases me all the time.

Can't you pick a stone and bash him on the head?

Father said never to hit anybody.

Well, I'll tell you father later.

Fakhriddien.

Yes, dad?

Prepare the cattle. Tomorrow we'll take it to the market.

Okay.

No.

- It's settled. - No.

Come on pall, don't refuse. I'll be really grateful.

Look at this tail, this bog fat tail!

I know. I'm not a fool either.

- Well I'm not your fool. - Okay, God bless you,

No friend, it's not enough.

Accept! May God bless you.

Let me have a look?

Yes.

So how much do you want?

Fifty.

See for yourself, Be a man!

What the actual cost?

He's saying the truth, sir!

The sheep is so skinny. Let me have it as a cheap price.

It looks so poor.

No friend,

it's too low.

- May God bless you! - No, no.

- I'm offering you fifty two. - No, no.

- Fifty - No, it's too low.

No, no.

It has only skin and bones.

Isn't this the sheep whose ancestor's we sold to you?

Yeah. That's the one.

Go away, liar. Don't interfere in the bargain.

Sir, I'm the one with the money.

- I told you, sir. The money's mine. - No, No.

- Don't turn down the bargain. Sell it. - No, it's not enough.

Look at the state of this female. Come on.

Say yes!

- Okay, take it. - May God bless you, take it away.

- Headmaster, I'm indebted with everyone. - I understand.

What if I can get the part of the money,

I give to the old man.

- Dear sir, I'll convince him myself. - All right. All right...

- I'll take care of the papers myself. - Okay.

- Just don't speak yourself. - All right.

- Grandpa! How're you doing? - Fine, thanks.

Are you okay. How's your health? Your back's not hurting?

Thank God. Thank God, I'm fine.

God bless you my son.

Grandpa. I've gathered that the headmaster has offered to buy the house.

- He's promised a good amount. - Yes, I know. The buyer came.

If sell this house, then where will I go?

I don't know what to do.

This is my ancestor's house. There's no way we can sell it.

Wait a second Grandpa.

Let me speak to him alone...

Grandpa. Let me tell you something, sell the house.

Think about the other world. You won't take your house over to the other world.

The headmaster will take you to his house and take care of you.

The money will be used to bury you.

You're a lonely man, old. You need somebody to take care of you.

I'm not here every day to take care.

If you die in loneliness, it'll be shameful.

Spend your last days respectfully. Sell your house.

Say yes. Speak up, Grandpa!

- All right. - Headmaster, come here...

- Give me your hand. - Amen. May God bless you, my son.

Hey, headmaster,

what are you doing beneath my wall?

Hey, what are you digging?

A toilet.

A toilet? Right in front of my nose?

Sir, we have to put up with the smell of a one person.

Well now you're going to be forced to put up with the stench of the whole village.

It's all legal.

Have you made it a principal of yours?

Don't be so angry with me.

I'm building the toilet for

everyone in this village.

You can use anytime.

Well, then, have a good day.

Are you sure of what you're doing?

All right.

If you won't listen the nice way, you'll listen the bad way.

You've been singing from sunrise to sunset. So noisy.

How are you doing? You're not bored, are you?

Yes, my daughter, yes. Yes.

- Some hot bread. - Is it bread from the mill?

- No uncle, it's bread from the store. - From the store?

- Yes. - I don't eat bread from the store.

You'll have to bring ma bread from the mill, my daughter.

From the mill?

I've never eaten bread from flour not grinded in the mill.

He doesn't eat bread from the store.

Why?

He eats it only if it comes from the mill.

- Do we have any wheat grain left? - Yes, a little bit.

Then that will do.

- Where are you going? - To my friend's house, for a book.

Go and come back early, it's dark already.

The flowers will be cold here.

Don't put them there, above that the TV is blurry.

If you don't do your homework. Tomorrow you won't go to school,

you'll go and help your Dad.

Let him go.

Can't you just stop doing that?

You don't understand these things.

You always do things without my advice.

What I think is not important for you.

Dad, how deep will we dig?

I don't know.

What if we find gold?

- Gold, from where? - What if we find some?

Okay, if you find some, what will you do?

I'll give it to you.

What about your Mom?

I'll give most of it to you and a little for Mom.

You're Dad's pet, hmm?

Go to sleep.

You found your query, to find some gold.

Wait and see, I'll find some gold.

All right, you'll find some.

Wake up son, I'll give you something.

Hey, come on let me sleep.

Wake up son, wake up, come, come with me.

Why are you waking me up so early,

it's not even day yet.

Come on, son, come this way.

Hey son, do you no how to pray?

Oh, no, come on...

If you learn how to pray, this watch will be yours.

That's a good boy. Come on and learn.

Why do you give the headmaster a hard time? He's a poor man.

Stop babbling, woman,

Move it faster while nobody's looking.

If this fool builds a public toilet

beside our house,

the whole village will make fun of us.

Move it. You're moving the dirt like a chicken.

Ismatboy, Ismatboy is it you?

Good morning, Headmaster Did you bring some wheat?

Good morning. Yes, I brought some wheat. Is there a long wait?

No, you don't have to wait. After all you're our headmaster.

Oh, thanks.

- Come on, let me help you. - No I can do it myself.

- Who is it? - My Dad.

Call him over here.

You used to eat the store's bread?

We have guest and he doesn't eat the store's bread.

Your father was like that too. He wouldn't eat the store's bread.

I know, I know.

The mill belonged to our grandfather.

- Good morning. - Good morning. How's your son?

Headmaster, he's been gone for one year already in Russia.

I'd be so grateful if you write a letter to ask him to come back.

- I'm illiterate. - All right, brother. Don't worry,

Dad, hey, Dad.

- Come and see it. - What happened?

I found gold.

Take it to his wife, hurry up.

Let her come in.

Sir, your men want to throw me away from my house.

Where will I spend the winter with my children?

My husband will come and settle the matter with you.

Can you cook and sweep?

Until your husband comes, come and make yourself busy in my house.

When he comes then we'll see.

How can I work in the house of an unmarried man? People will start gossiping.

Rustambek, get rid of this woman.

Let's go Ma'am, the master is in bad mood.

Fakhriddin!

The principal of the school is asking when your father will come?

Dad.

The principal sent somebody to ask when you're going to school.

The principal asked when you're going to go school.

Dad, aren't you tired?

It should be enough. We've dug a lot.

No, not yet. We'll still keep on digging.

We have to dig so that it lasts for seven generations.

Take it carefully, carefully.

Hey! Still with your damned toilet.

For heaven's sake.

You're running towards your doom.

I thought you were a wise man.

You're worth nothing.

You're tiring yourself for nothing.

It's not a toilet you're digging, it's your own grave.

This is my private property, I can do whatever I want on it.

You'll pay for it.

What do you want to prove with what you're doing?

Face the reality of this world. You're a simple teacher.

In this village, I can do whatever I want. I'm the master

and you're not, is it clear?

Do whatever you are capable of doing for all I care.

Is that your answer? Don't tease with me, think about it,

it can have dire results. You have a son, a wife.

If you don't worry about your family. I'll wither your crops.

I've dealt with a lot of

thick-headed ones like you.

I'll break their necks.

I'll have you come and kneel beside my feet.

That's all I have to say.

We have to solve it the tough way.

What's this bread made of?

It's flour from the mill.

You're going to sleep here? Cover yourself with the blanket.

What you're doing is absolutely useless.

You're tiring yourself, myself. Just to take revenge,

is it necessary to kill yourself?

He can make us out of this town, if he wants.

And he can starve us to death.

Don't bother about that. I know what I do. Go home.

What's the use of speaking to you. It's like speaking to a wall.

My words are worth nothing. I'm sick and tired of this life.

Dad, I've come to help you.

Dad, I've come to help you, Mom sent me.

- Dad... - What's going on?

I came to help you.

Go home. Your Mom is all alone.

I have to spend the night over here or he will fill up the pit.

Sir, good morning.

- Good morning, friend. - How's work?

Just...

- What are you digging? - A toilet.

- What? - A toilet.

A toilet? For whom?

No, for the market.

That's a pious deed. Keep on digging.

Yes, well, it's a large village.

- You want a cigarette, brother? - All right.

- You're not falling asleep, hmm? - No I can't fall asleep.

Should I give you an advice?

Go ahead.

Dig in a toilet that goes right into the mayor's house.

He'll love it, believe me.

That's what I intend to do any ways.

Headmaster, doesn't my son go to your classe?

- What's his name? - Ahmadkhon. A small kid.

Oh, Ahmadkhon is your son?

- How's he doing? - He's a good boy.

How's he learning?

He's a good boy just a little lazy.

Well he taken after his father. I'm also lazy, you see.

Come on let me help you. All alone, it'll be hard for you.

No, it's not necessary.

Come on we both are not sleeping.

Yes, thanks, brother.

Hey, wake up, what are you doing here?

Who gave you permission to dig a toilet right under the mayor's wall?

What the hell are you?

This is own property. I can do whatever I want on it.

You have your papers?

I have them.

Show the papers.

These papers?

Take them back and come and

see me in my office at four.

You wretched human being.

- You got it? - I see.

You played your two again, bastard?

Well. You took the window's from the house, you jack ass.

- Half if them were broken. - Don't touch it, that's mine.

You promised we would play for the wood. We've got to play another game.

A game is played only once.

We can't even wrench dust out of you.

All Tajikistan's dust is yours.

Do you need any help?

No...

- Come over here and sit down - Thank you.

Wait, let me help you.

Wait, hold on to this.

Headmaster, did you remove the rock?

We'll help you in the afternoon.

Thanks.

What are you doing here?

Go. Go. It's deep here, you can fall down.

Headmaster, did you remove these rocks yourself?

Ah, I can't lift this one up. I'll leave it on one side.

Dear headmaster, dig around it, set fire around it and it will break.

It seems to be hard.

It's no problem. We'll remove it.

Don't worry.

Slowly, be careful. You can fall down.

Headmaster, can I take the planks?

Yes, all right take them, take them all. I agree.

Thanks Headmaster, I'm here if you need me. Just call me.

Okay thanks. Thanks brother.

Oh my goodness, my dear. Hey, dear.

Yeah.

- They've found a cause, Fakhriddin. - What happened?

- What happened? - The police arrested our son.

Arrested?

Yes. Come out of there.

- You see it with your own eyes? - Yes, he's sitting in the police station.

Don't panic, don't panic. He alive after all.

It's all your fault. What must my poor little son be doing over there.

I told you not to do all this. You didn't even care for what I said.

- Where is Fakhriddin? - I don't know, they didn't let me in.

They arrested him in school and took him away to the police station.

I went after him. The mayor is sitting there frowning on us.

Now you'll sell your house bet you'll have our son released.

I won't be convinced.

Make him afraid.

Okay, I understand what you mean

Come in.

Hello.

Fakhriddin Anorrov, born in 1985, is this your son?

Yes, he is my son.

Your son has committed a crime.

A crime?

Yes, he committed theft in the village's bazaar.

I didn't steal anything.

You stole! Your son stole my wife's ring and

went to the bazaar in order to sell it. Your son is a thief!

Sir, my son doesn't steal.

He stole. He was caught during the crime.

Witnesses will confirm it. Do you understand?

We entrusted all the village's children to you educate them.

If you can't even educate your son,

what type of education are you giving to other people's children?

Your son will now be imprisoned six years in the Children's Correctional Colony.

Mister Mayor, let's settle this matter in a nice way.

Our headmaster will stop building his toilet,

and we'll release his son.

I'll forgive his son's sin. But I don't want to see this man again.

And I want that toilet to be covered up this very day.

You can't turn me away from my intentions.

You want to imprison my son?

Yes, I'll imprison him.

Go ahead, imprison him.

Dad, what about me?

Stay where you are!

Headmaster, the bull mated with five cows,

If you need anything, just let me know, I'm ready.

Headmaster, wait a second, there's a letter for you.

- Any good news? - Well...

- Will your book be published? - No, brother.

- Don't worry. - No, it doesn't matter.

It ran into the headmaster!

Pick up the headmaster! Pick him up, Bakhriddin.

Hey, man! I've got five children, if you would have been killed,

who would take care of my kids.

It's because of careless fools like you that we face hardships.

Why do you run in front of my car?

You haven't broken any bones of yours? Legs?

- Arms - I'm okay, I'm fine.

Hey, if I hadn't been alert, I would of squashed beneath my wheels.

You don't have any claims, do you?

Sorry.

It wasn't my fault. He came right under my wheels himself.

This man's going too far.

- It wasn't the headmaster's fault. - He will be punished some day.

Is your master here?

The neighbor's wife has come. Should I let her in?

Come in. Come in.

The mayor had come for a matter concerning you.

Your son is in prison, right?

Come in, let's see what can I do for you.

Mom, I'm not a thief.

Alright. Let me put your hat on you, it's cold outside.

Come on. Don't say no. Your eyes are all swollen,

We'll go home now and you'll have supper. Come on.

My husband? What is he saying?

Dads lost his breath.

Oh my, let's run.

- Why did you come up? - No, I'm not going down.

You're the electrician, you can climb up and down.

We'll pour you some vodka. Be first take him out of there.

- How about him? - We have to be hurry.

Hello.

How about him?

He's getting better. I want to make a tea for him.

- Oh, he can eat something. - Yes, since yesterday...

Where are you going?

Dad, is it water?

It's source water...

Is it sweet?

It's sweet.

Will we dig more?

No, we will cover it a little bit.

What a pity!

If not the well can overflow.

We don't have to wrap the persimmons.

Dad said they should be exposed to the cold weather.

Wrap them up my son. We'll do it nicely for your Dad.

They'll be sweet and we'll be able to eat them.

I'll be dead by then, bet you'll be able to eat them, thanks God.

If you die now uncle, we'll be sad.

We'll miss you.

The water from our well is sweet,

it's even sweeter than the one from the Surkhon Neighborhood. Why is that?

Honey bees used to go there to make their beehives.

That's why it's water is sweet.

But don't worry your well will be sweet.

Bees will come make their beehives in it.

The national anthem is heard.
