SANDU FOLLOWS THE SUN

Guys, stop! Stop!

Want me to show you a green sun?

Big deal, a treasure.

Wicked!

A violet city!

Now look through this one.

The sun really is green!

That's because you're looking through glass.

There's no green sun.

Yet, if one follows the sun this way,

one can walk round the earth

and come back right here, from the other side.

Are you lying?

What d'you take me for? Alexander Petrovich, lying.

D'you know, he tells us so many things in class.

Wow.

Look guys, Zatka Kuznechnyj set the snake off!

Come on guys!

I've gone after the sun.

Buy lottery tickets!

Don't walk past your luck!

30 kopeks.

Once upon a time we were riding horses, too.

Turning 'round. You're turning 'round, too. Everything is.

Buy lottery tickets!

You might win a piano! A car, Volga!

Don't pass by! Your luck! 30 kopeks only.

You're so lucky, sir.

Travel by air!

Visit the USSR in winter.

Lyokha + Katya =

What's that, Lyokha?

Oh, please.

Hey there, boy!

Come here.

There, an ice cream.

Plombir, Eskimo,

creme brulee.

Very tasty. Wanna try?

I do.

Hey! Say it's your mom.

Name's Unguriana. Don't forget!

Do not worry, everything is alright.

You may bring fruit.

You are welcome. Good bye.

Now look here! What do you want?

Name's Unguriana.

Well don't you wonder. Enslaved a kid already.

Name's Unguriana.

Oh, well. You may at last cheer our daddy up.

Remember. 3.400,

52 cm.

What's 52 cm?

You got a baby brother!

52 cm long.

Where's he?

Right here, in this house.

Do you believe, mother?

I would know his voice from a hundred voices...

His face is white and clean...

His eyes are blue, his nose like a potato...

A beauty.

Like father, like son.

When I had him slowly unwrapped, I gasped...

Such figure he has got...

Classic...

Real Vasya.

Even little nails on his hands, Vasya's.

What a beauty.

Please, no more fruit for me.

The dresser is already covered with it.

The jam was made well.

Thank you.

You there, Vitya, no dillydallying.

- We're off to fetch the scales. - Like you woulda taken me just for fun.

This hoop, off a barrel?

Dunno.

A town-dweller, crystal clear.

Want me to cut a water-melon up?

Just get a sweeter one.

Come help me!

This one.

- Why's it kinda yellow? - It used to lay on this side.

This other side, sun-fried.

Hear the sound?

You know all about them.

I love the sun, too.

Only mom always tells me to sit in the shade.

At our farm, only spongers

sit in the shade.

Attention! Attention!

The Wheel of Death on a motorbike!

On a vertical wall.

Participants: Nikolaj Chernykh and partners.

Hurry, come and see!

Such wonders in your city.

This one, it seems, doesn't fear anything.

- You don't say. - Wanna watch it once more?

- I'll ask my old man. - Would be great.

I want to go in.

- Come on, let's have a look! - Okay. - Let's go.

- Cross your heart to tell me everything later! - Okay.

- I made a deal with him. - It doesn't mean a thing.

Kolya, please hurry up!

On such nonsense, a day is all but lost.

Here he is!

You know,

Pottery is my weak spot.

He's bald!

Impossible!

You told me in Riga, too.

They...

had you on.

That's it.

Ellen.

Enough!

- What's she set on? - On him.

Come down.

Well, now.

Attention! Attention!

The Wheel of Death!

on a vertical wall.

Participants: Nikolaj Chernykh and partners.

You know what!

- I'm not going. - Me neither.

Little devils, jumping under the wheels!

What, fed up with living?

You see?

Why don't ya cross where you oughta cross?

I'm not headed there.

I'm following the sun.

Well, here. The sun?

Right.

I'm headed there too. Come here, I'll give you a lift.

I'm okay.

What's this?

The speedometer, it shows your speed. And this one shows the oil.

What do you follow the sun for?

If one follows the sun, one can walk round the whole world!

And come back, only the other way.

Well, isn't it so.

Me, I've driven round the world 3 times so far! See?

Each star is the length of the equator.

No major repairs needed, mind you!

- So what's it like, there? - Where?

Well, around the whole world!

How shall I put it.

There are things. On the whole, interesting.

Very interesting.

Why have we stopped?

The light turns green, we go on.

It's green for me.

You've got a lovely subjective comprehension of the world.

- What's that? - Don't you get it?

Well, neither can I.

Vika!

Come here Victorissa!

What's it to you!

Go on home.

Right away!

See, there.

If I see you with my sister again,

I won't give no warning!

Please learn to speak properly, first.

Don't you dare! Lyovka, don't you dare, you hear me?

Finish your fit.

- You bastard! - Don't you dare call him that!

Stop this! Put me down, stop it!

Lyovka, I'm not a little girl!

Put me down, put me down!

Put me down Lyovka!

You're insane!

Youngsters today, what a waste!

If that was my daughter,

I'd have spanked her in public! On a particular spot

Nope.

Not pedagogic.

Society is in need of mobilization!

We the public-spirited, we've got to cultivate the youth.

So that they're morally clean.

Wholesome. Morally irreproachable.

Hey he-ey!

Hey!

What will Herzog Ramsky be treated with today?

Sausages! You hear this, Herzog? With sausages!

The four capuchins

Once went out into a garden,

olive trees growing around,

grapes ripening.

Praise be to you, our Lord!

Bless us, give us everything

We praise you with our loving hearts

For all the goods, for all the sorrows.

What is it?

Don't you recognize him?

That's my friend!

Hiya there! Hi, mate.

Meet Gavroche.

Let's go Gavroche,

Sit down.

Eat.

Drums beating

The Communards walking.

Shut up, you, let the guy eat.

If everybody follows the sun, what happens to order?

Then: stop the traffic, release the police,

Am I correct?

I am correct? Not very serious, that.

Today you're following the sun,

tomorrow you're forging tickets to the cinema,

and then -

quite a little mobster, you'll be,

Or, God forbid...

A hipster.

Am I correct?

I am Correct.

Have you ever heard of anyone following the sun?

Does your Dad... follow the sun?

No! Your Dad follows his line of work.

Am I correct?

Correct...

Sit down.

No standing up until I allow it.

Lenutsa!

Rikar!

- Not very serious, I say. - Forgive me, Rik, but I...

I'm not just any of those younger sgts. made to take post

to the district of Gutsulyovka.

I went home on the holiday. I looked for you but couldn't find you.

I was very sorry you didn't come.

- It was such fun! - I can imagine.

We danced joc, and the musicians from Lanitsa would ask where our Rik is.

Cymbals, they say, don't ring when he's not here.

If you could only see me walking down the valley.

So much beauty there!

Wanted to never come back to the city.

- You like the sunflower? - Why is it called the sunflower?

Because it is the flower of the sun.

Wherever the sun is, there it is.

Keeps turning its face towards the sun all day long.

I've been telling you to destroy that since last week.

You don't understand anything, except growing

this village of yours.

The working men need

Roses.

And chrysanthemums.

None of those technical cultures.

I see this one more time,

You'll be fired.

Ignorance!

Take that, Take that!

And I am telling you, the goal was scored from the wing!

I am not leaving this place if that's so.

Oh well. The goal was not scored from the wing.

- He's doing me a favour. - Well, well, it was not from the wing.

Where from, then?

Listen here, will you finish or shall I leave shineless?

- Excuse me, what is it you want to say? - I shall leave.

Now you may leave shining!

Lyova, you love quarrelling.

Now see, it's me who loves quarrelling.

He doesn't love quarrelling.

What do you want?

Sir, I've got a nail in here. Pull it out, please.

Take a seat, boy. Give me your nail.

Perhaps you want to say that Moldova is fit this year.

No, I will not say that.

But the goal was scored from the wing.

- Was not. - Was too.

- Was not. - Was too.

Lyova, I will have a stroke because of you.

Okay then. Let us not quarrel.

- That is all. - Alright, let us not quarrel.

And still, the goal was scored from the wing.

Aaaaah.

Nowadays, football is not what is used to be.

Please remember the late

Kolya Ryabyshkin.

- What a bloke! - This one's a thousand times more technical.

And I say that your Nestor isn't fit

to shine Kolya's shoes!

It would be, once you put a candle out

it's flying over the clouds.

Such players there were before the war! Garik Chernyachinsky.

His right foot, shots like a cannon!

The late Kisa Vynchian. Both feet, a deadly shot.

And then, before the war...

Before the war, he used to have legs.

Who cares what used to be before the war.

Koka! You have a client waiting!

Alright, I am no longer here!

You should have seen my hair before the war.

- Who cares what it used to be before the war. - Koka!

- You're expected! - Alright, I'm there already!

But I believe that I'll be back soon.

Aaaaand - here it is, done!

Run away, son!

Sir, is it true you used to have legs before the war?

It is true, son.

True.

Mishka, hurry up, the funeral! Funeral!

- Sir, what is it, unforgettable? - Go on boy, go on.

From the Taxi parking lot.

- What is it, unforgettable? - Unforgettable?

Carry it for a while, boy.

Unforgettable.

Unforgettable means much.

Go on, citizens, go on, don't disturb the traffic.

Alexander Petrovich,

what is it, father? All well?

- Breathless, my dear. - You should have said!

Hey, Sergo!

Hold the wreath.

You, boy, step away, it's no place for you.

- Let's go, old boy! - Hold on.

Begin guys!

- Whom are they burying? - A man.

Listen, mate, who died here?

You heard it...

A man.

Moldova (Kishinev) - Zenit (Leningrad)

You have such eyes

As if in each of them two little pupils

Just like in the latest machines

In the beginning chaussée, chaussée

Noisily machines fly past.

The pairs of wheels.

You have double eyes.

They would be enough for two faces

And the whole ocean is shining

Because of the eyes

That are doubled.

Do you understand that your eyes

Is a map of two hemispheres of the earth?

When you close them

For the night, the Equator comes down

And when I ask

To open them

Two blue poles are within

For the moment, I am open

Where are you carrying me?

Where were you headed?

I won't say. Let me go.

Who are you?

A musician.

- Why are you soldier-like? - I am a soldier.

A war musician.

- And you saw all those things? - I did.

Why are you saying you haven't gone round the world?

I am a grownup, but I've never seen such things.

But I should have come back with the sun.

To the same place, only from the other side.

You will be back with the sun.

Let's go.

Do you understand,

The pilot already sees the sun.

The End
