HANS CHRISTIAN
ANDERSEN
2
00:01:44,245 --> 00:01:48,245
Once upon a time in Denmark
a great storyteller
3
00:01:48,428 --> 00:01:52,856
named Hans Christian Andersen.
This film is not his biography,
4
00:01:53,006 --> 00:01:56,879
a tale about man
a teller of tales.
5
00:02:26,165 --> 00:02:28,811
Good morning, teacher.
6
00:02:40,535 --> 00:02:42,992
Do you see the kite?
7
00:03:07,501 --> 00:03:10,167
Tell us a story!
8
00:03:21,933 --> 00:03:27,853
Wait for me, Hans! Please!
- Come on, run. Faster!
9
00:03:30,422 --> 00:03:33,984
Thank you.
Next time don't be late.
10
00:03:34,197 --> 00:03:37,126
So, yesterday was Matilda
the bad mermaid
11
00:03:37,276 --> 00:03:39,638
the princess
from the frozen sea.
12
00:03:39,849 --> 00:03:41,953
Do you remember?
- Yes.
13
00:03:42,205 --> 00:03:46,492
Today, as promised... and we always
we keep our word, right?
14
00:03:46,642 --> 00:03:47,584
Yes!
15
00:03:47,755 --> 00:03:51,839
Today, as promised, she will be…
- Chinese Queen!
16
00:03:52,010 --> 00:03:56,136
Did anyone remember to bring
a dress for the queen of china?
17
00:03:56,345 --> 00:03:58,753
You, you, you!
18
00:03:58,973 --> 00:04:04,013
Okay.
Please, ladies and gentlemen.
19
00:04:04,229 --> 00:04:07,230
If it doesn't work out with a queen,
let him be king.
20
00:04:07,401 --> 00:04:12,116
It's very easy. We'll just take it
this crown and we will move it a little.
21
00:04:12,266 --> 00:04:16,852
This king was a great count
and wore his crown thus. And now...
22
00:04:17,285 --> 00:04:20,278
A...
without looking.
23
00:04:21,998 --> 00:04:28,184
That's it. Long live the king!
- Long live the king!
24
00:04:28,505 --> 00:04:33,399
This is not a king.
It's just a queen with a mustache.
25
00:04:35,033 --> 00:04:39,139
Well, there are many kings who actually
are queens with mustaches.
26
00:04:39,310 --> 00:04:42,635
But we believe it's a king, don't we?
- Yes.
27
00:04:42,854 --> 00:04:49,024
And since we have no clothes for the king,
here's a story about the naked king...
28
00:04:49,236 --> 00:04:53,364
and for a little boy
which believed only its eyes.
29
00:04:53,574 --> 00:04:56,324
That's you.
30
00:04:57,745 --> 00:05:02,039
So one day two crooks
came to the king
31
00:05:02,250 --> 00:05:05,293
to sell him, according to
their words, magic cloth.
32
00:05:05,443 --> 00:05:10,515
And since the king was very fond of new ones
clothes, said, "Let me look at it."
33
00:05:10,665 --> 00:05:15,212
But there was no cloth there.
And the crooks held their hands like that
34
00:05:15,431 --> 00:05:19,074
and said: "Your Majesty,
these are magical clothes.
35
00:05:19,245 --> 00:05:23,725
You, being very wise and clever,
you can see how lovely they are
36
00:05:23,875 --> 00:05:27,435
but for fools
they are absolutely invisible."
37
00:05:28,027 --> 00:05:30,483
And he answered:
"Well, I see them."
38
00:05:30,697 --> 00:05:34,055
And, being afraid
not to be mistaken for a fool, added:
39
00:05:34,205 --> 00:05:38,614
"Yes, that's right. I can see them very well.
They are beautiful!"
40
00:05:38,831 --> 00:05:43,104
Aren't they gorgeous? Aren't they exquisite?
Just look at the cut, style and line!
41
00:05:43,254 --> 00:05:46,704
These clothes quite literally
and completely perfect,
42
00:05:46,923 --> 00:05:49,799
are the most remarkable clothes,
that I have seen.
43
00:05:49,949 --> 00:05:54,137
My eyes immediately saw that it was the sleeve
of velvet, and the mantle of ermine,
44
00:05:54,287 --> 00:05:57,495
The socks are blue and the vest
it's a nice shade of green!"
45
00:05:57,645 --> 00:06:01,728
Nice shade of green!
- Somebody call the queen!
46
00:06:01,899 --> 00:06:08,061
The queen came and was told,
that only smart people can see…
47
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,197
The magic clothes!
- That's right.
48
00:06:11,407 --> 00:06:15,694
Naturally, she didn't want to be seen
stupid and therefore said:
49
00:06:15,844 --> 00:06:18,205
"Oh, aren't they gorgeous?"
50
00:06:18,415 --> 00:06:21,562
Isn't it ornate?
Just look at that seam!
51
00:06:21,712 --> 00:06:24,419
These clothes quite literally
and completely perfect,
52
00:06:24,569 --> 00:06:27,796
are the most remarkable clothes,
that I have seen.
53
00:06:27,946 --> 00:06:32,136
My eyes immediately saw that it was the sleeve
of velvet, and the mantle of ermine,
54
00:06:32,286 --> 00:06:35,556
The socks are blue and the vest
it's a nice shade of green!"
55
00:06:35,706 --> 00:06:39,492
Nice shade of green!
- Invite them to gather the yard!
56
00:06:39,642 --> 00:06:43,224
And the whole yard came -
all ministers and ambassadors.
57
00:06:43,442 --> 00:06:47,656
They didn't want to look stupid
and so they agreed to...
58
00:06:47,806 --> 00:06:53,179
The king and queen.
- And then the king announced:
59
00:06:54,913 --> 00:06:58,412
These clothes quite literally
and completely perfect,
60
00:06:58,625 --> 00:07:01,839
are the most notable,
once sewn by tailors.
61
00:07:01,989 --> 00:07:05,650
Quickly add gloves to them
of leather and a hat with a feather.
62
00:07:05,862 --> 00:07:09,077
I want to wear these clothes
at Saturday's parade".
63
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:13,890
Saturday's Parade!
- And to head the royal entourage.
64
00:07:14,100 --> 00:07:18,040
At the same time, everyone had already heard
for the king's new clothes,
65
00:07:18,190 --> 00:07:20,355
with whom he will be in the parade.
66
00:07:20,526 --> 00:07:25,523
People thronged the streets.
Artillery and infantry past,
67
00:07:25,737 --> 00:07:30,067
the cavalry, the royal orchestra,
and the guard also passed,
68
00:07:30,284 --> 00:07:34,862
and finally it was the king's turn.
Everyone shouted: "Hooray!"...
69
00:07:36,902 --> 00:07:39,688
because no one wanted
to pass for a fool.
70
00:07:39,838 --> 00:07:42,838
Nobody, except
to a little boy
71
00:07:43,006 --> 00:07:47,592
which, for some unknown reason, had not heard
for the king's magic clothes,
72
00:07:47,763 --> 00:07:51,549
and knew nothing of it,
what he was about to see.
73
00:07:51,699 --> 00:07:57,138
It looked at the king,
turned a little pale and said:
74
00:07:57,355 --> 00:08:00,895
"Look at the king!
Look at the king!"
75
00:08:01,109 --> 00:08:04,774
The King is quite literal
and completely perfect,
76
00:08:04,988 --> 00:08:08,322
absolutely naked,
as a mother bore him.
77
00:08:08,533 --> 00:08:11,737
The King quite literally
and completely perfect,
78
00:08:11,954 --> 00:08:15,157
He's wearing absolutely nothing.
79
00:08:15,348 --> 00:08:18,563
Summon the court physician,
take a break,
80
00:08:18,713 --> 00:08:22,275
that His Majesty will be
subjected to ridicule and mockery,
81
00:08:22,425 --> 00:08:26,504
because I'm king quite literally
and completely perfect,
82
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,578
is absolutely naked,
as a mother bore him.
83
00:08:29,728 --> 00:08:34,934
And besides, it's today
and pretty cool!"
84
00:08:38,503 --> 00:08:41,357
Hans!
- Hurry up, Peter.
85
00:08:41,569 --> 00:08:43,653
We want to hear more
a fairy tale.
86
00:08:43,803 --> 00:08:46,591
Hans, you're in trouble.
The teacher went to the mayor and...
87
00:08:46,741 --> 00:08:51,536
Oh, Peter, you don't have to worry
so much on such a beautiful day.
88
00:08:51,707 --> 00:08:57,494
But they come here - both the teacher and the mayor,
and the city council. Look!
89
00:09:05,929 --> 00:09:08,135
Good morning, mayor.
90
00:09:08,348 --> 00:09:12,134
Look, mayor, look.
Books on the dirty land!
91
00:09:13,103 --> 00:09:17,731
Here it is. They used history
of Denmark to tie the kite!
92
00:09:17,902 --> 00:09:21,568
The history of each country
a little fresh air won't hurt her.
93
00:09:21,718 --> 00:09:26,719
Have you heard of the history book,
who decided to go to rest
94
00:09:26,869 --> 00:09:29,410
and returned
completely changed?
95
00:09:29,683 --> 00:09:33,898
Do you see? He pokes in the heads
to children such nonsense.
96
00:09:34,048 --> 00:09:35,909
Here, look at this.
97
00:09:36,128 --> 00:09:39,400
"Arithmetic. One day the couple
met the foursome.
98
00:09:39,550 --> 00:09:42,208
They immediately liked each other
and got married
99
00:09:42,530 --> 00:09:45,963
and all other digits
come to their wedding."
100
00:09:46,180 --> 00:09:50,370
This is impossible!
- There are different approaches to training.
101
00:09:50,581 --> 00:09:54,018
The cobbler must be in the workshop,
and the children - in school.
102
00:09:54,168 --> 00:09:56,334
Take care of your shoes,
103
00:09:56,543 --> 00:09:59,472
and I'll take care of the school
- Of course.
104
00:09:59,622 --> 00:10:05,391
But does the world exist?
just from shoes and classrooms…
105
00:10:06,744 --> 00:10:10,576
There is a story about a piece of chalk
and school board.
106
00:10:10,790 --> 00:10:14,658
For many years the chalk
wrote on the board
107
00:10:14,878 --> 00:10:19,666
and believed that he knew everything in the world.
Of course the board got angry.
108
00:10:19,883 --> 00:10:24,384
She knew that if they didn't write on her,
nobody would know anything.
109
00:10:24,534 --> 00:10:29,097
She was sure of it.
One day, completely by chance,
110
00:10:29,310 --> 00:10:33,477
the teacher broke the piece of chalk
and threw it out the window.
111
00:10:33,627 --> 00:10:37,913
He fell to a pencil,
who had always respected chalk.
112
00:10:38,063 --> 00:10:42,276
Because the pencil, in contrast
from chalk, is something special.
113
00:10:42,491 --> 00:10:46,619
And what do you think happened?
- What happened?
114
00:10:46,829 --> 00:10:49,746
What is this?
Have we all gone crazy?
115
00:10:49,957 --> 00:10:53,540
Are you going to listen to it with the kids?
What is this?
116
00:10:53,753 --> 00:10:55,897
That's enough for today, Hans.
117
00:10:56,110 --> 00:11:00,632
Children, get your textbooks
and go to school. Hurry up.
118
00:11:00,844 --> 00:11:04,794
Follow the teacher.
And no requests.
119
00:11:12,815 --> 00:11:17,857
I advise you, Hans, to stay
in the shop. Let's go, gentlemen.
120
00:11:25,704 --> 00:11:28,851
Stop shaking your head
like some old lady, Peter.
121
00:11:29,001 --> 00:11:31,127
I feel it with my back.
122
00:11:31,337 --> 00:11:34,629
Hans, turn around.
I need to talk to you.
123
00:11:34,839 --> 00:11:37,464
Have you heard the story?
for the old woman
124
00:11:37,635 --> 00:11:42,422
who so often shook her head
that she ended up falling on the table?
125
00:11:42,597 --> 00:11:45,494
Hans, why do you keep going?
give us trouble?
126
00:11:45,644 --> 00:11:50,719
Problems? No problem with which one
a good tale to fail.
127
00:11:50,939 --> 00:11:55,151
Like, for example, about the piece of chalk
and the school board.
128
00:11:55,361 --> 00:11:59,026
By the way,
I made it up on the fly.
129
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,429
But I'm also interested
how will this tale end
130
00:12:02,579 --> 00:12:06,767
Please stay in the shop. You shouldn't
to tell stories all the time.
131
00:12:06,917 --> 00:12:09,453
you worry too much
Peter.
132
00:12:09,668 --> 00:12:13,524
Do you really want to find
cause for concern? I'll tell you.
133
00:12:13,674 --> 00:12:16,673
Two years ago I took you
from the orphanage
134
00:12:16,844 --> 00:12:21,345
and I promised them I would from you
a good cobbler. Two whole years.
135
00:12:21,495 --> 00:12:26,532
Look at these shoes - everywhere
there is glue and the nails are bent.
136
00:12:27,228 --> 00:12:31,893
Two years of training,
and you still bend the nails.
137
00:12:32,109 --> 00:12:37,186
I'm not too bad, am I?
You won't take me back, will you?
138
00:12:37,406 --> 00:12:41,213
Aha! A new reason appeared
for concern.
139
00:12:42,370 --> 00:12:45,299
Don't worry, Peter.
Let's go home.
140
00:13:03,643 --> 00:13:07,391
Two and two is four.
141
00:13:07,605 --> 00:13:11,354
Four and four is eight.
142
00:13:11,568 --> 00:13:15,696
Eight and eight is 16.
143
00:13:15,906 --> 00:13:20,533
16 and 16 is 32.
144
00:13:20,744 --> 00:13:24,694
Two and two is four.
145
00:13:24,915 --> 00:13:28,748
Four and four is eight.
146
00:13:28,961 --> 00:13:32,959
Eight and eight is 16.
147
00:13:33,174 --> 00:13:36,707
16 and 16 is 32.
148
00:13:36,928 --> 00:13:40,549
Earthworm caterpillar.
The first for this year!
149
00:13:40,766 --> 00:13:46,009
Four and four is eight.
150
00:13:46,230 --> 00:13:50,477
Eight and eight is 16.
151
00:13:50,693 --> 00:13:55,770
16 and 16 is 32.
152
00:13:55,991 --> 00:14:01,069
Caterpillar, caterpillar,
153
00:14:01,288 --> 00:14:06,449
measuring the marigolds,
154
00:14:06,669 --> 00:14:11,296
you and your arithmetic
155
00:14:11,507 --> 00:14:16,466
you will surely go far.
156
00:14:17,347 --> 00:14:22,268
Caterpillar, caterpillar,
157
00:14:22,477 --> 00:14:27,685
measuring the marigolds,
158
00:14:27,900 --> 00:14:33,112
in my opinion, it's better
to stop and lookat them
159
00:14:33,322 --> 00:14:39,159
how beautiful they are.
160
00:14:39,371 --> 00:14:43,700
Two and two is four.
161
00:14:43,917 --> 00:14:48,875
Four and four is eight.
162
00:14:49,089 --> 00:14:53,716
Eight and eight is 16.
163
00:14:53,928 --> 00:14:58,756
16 and 16 is 32.
164
00:15:11,989 --> 00:15:14,570
Good morning, teacher.
165
00:15:17,265 --> 00:15:19,447
Oh, Hans.
166
00:15:33,637 --> 00:15:37,066
Master, let me explain...
- Get out of my way!
167
00:15:45,588 --> 00:15:49,020
I state it unequivocally
and that's exactly what I want.
168
00:15:49,237 --> 00:15:52,666
Or Hans Christian Andersen
leaves town, or me.
169
00:15:52,816 --> 00:15:55,590
But, teacher, a little story
now or later
170
00:15:55,740 --> 00:15:57,771
outside of class...
171
00:15:57,955 --> 00:16:00,892
It's not now or later
this is constant.
172
00:16:01,042 --> 00:16:03,605
If they are late,
they only have silly excuses.
173
00:16:03,755 --> 00:16:07,651
"The Snow Queen took me with her,
to see her mountain!"
174
00:16:07,801 --> 00:16:11,658
That's true, mayor.
I asked my Gerda what time it was.
175
00:16:11,808 --> 00:16:16,264
She replied that the arrows
they don't talk to each other.
176
00:16:16,435 --> 00:16:19,722
Both had fallen in love
in the secondary hand.
177
00:16:19,872 --> 00:16:25,218
They meet only at 12 o'clock and until then
no one can tell what time it is.
178
00:16:25,631 --> 00:16:28,048
And I like it.
- Do you like that?
179
00:16:28,198 --> 00:16:33,324
We pay for the school, not for this
Hans to fill their heads with nonsense.
180
00:16:33,495 --> 00:16:36,805
But Hans' stories are good.
Children learn from them.
181
00:16:36,955 --> 00:16:40,413
These stories are not stupid.
- If you want, listen to them, mayor,
182
00:16:40,563 --> 00:16:43,564
but tonight I start
to pack my things.
183
00:16:43,714 --> 00:16:47,975
Tomorrow you will either look for a new cobbler,
or a new teacher.
184
00:16:52,034 --> 00:16:54,287
Gentlemen...
185
00:17:01,899 --> 00:17:04,915
It's decided.
The cobbler must leave town.
186
00:17:05,132 --> 00:17:07,276
But, Mayor...
- Quiet!
187
00:17:07,488 --> 00:17:12,179
I'll tell Hans myself. It's not much
nice but it has to be done.
188
00:17:12,329 --> 00:17:16,257
It might be for the better. Tell Hans
to wait for me in his shop.
189
00:17:16,407 --> 00:17:19,932
I'll talk to him before dinner.
Let's go, gentlemen.
190
00:17:48,470 --> 00:17:50,857
Hi Hans.
- Hello, Peter.
191
00:17:51,077 --> 00:17:54,737
Was it nice on the river?
- Absolutely wonderful.
192
00:17:54,956 --> 00:17:57,412
Were there any customers today?
193
00:17:57,626 --> 00:18:01,878
Not one.
They are becoming less and less.
194
00:18:02,172 --> 00:18:05,417
Don't you think you should
move to a bigger city
195
00:18:05,567 --> 00:18:07,676
where shoes wear out
faster?
196
00:18:07,826 --> 00:18:12,598
And to be in the shop all day?
No, sir, I want to be free.
197
00:18:12,769 --> 00:18:15,393
We have enough here
free time.
198
00:18:15,564 --> 00:18:19,585
That's what I mean, Hans. The shoes
they don't wear out. No one brings them.
199
00:18:19,735 --> 00:18:23,806
No one from this town ever
He hasn't been to Copenhagen, has he?
200
00:18:23,966 --> 00:18:28,823
True, but why should they? Never
I haven't thought about Copenhagen. And you?
201
00:18:29,034 --> 00:18:33,257
Am I? And what do you think?
what is copenhagen like?
202
00:18:35,082 --> 00:18:40,872
Funny you mention Copenhagen.
I thought about him a long time ago.
203
00:18:41,089 --> 00:18:44,873
I used to make it up
the strangest stories about him.
204
00:18:45,093 --> 00:18:48,824
I've been thinking a lot about Copenhagen,
when i was your age
205
00:18:48,974 --> 00:18:53,249
My husband's feet hurt from them.
They squeak, and the left one is not up to his standards.
206
00:18:53,399 --> 00:18:56,478
Is that it?
It's not scary, Mrs. Burda.
207
00:18:56,649 --> 00:19:00,435
sometimes i think
that shoes have a life of their own.
208
00:19:00,610 --> 00:19:03,590
The ones that squeak
they don't want to leave the cobbler
209
00:19:03,740 --> 00:19:07,384
and those who tighten
they do not love the wearer.
210
00:19:07,534 --> 00:19:11,870
Please, Hans, fix them.
And so I have a lot of problems.
211
00:19:12,041 --> 00:19:16,256
If Mr. Burda's feet hurt,
it can drive the whole house crazy.
212
00:19:16,406 --> 00:19:21,173
Hans, tell me. What stories
did you make up for copenhagen?
213
00:19:22,008 --> 00:19:27,963
I dreamed of having the best one
shoe shop in Copenhagen.
214
00:19:28,181 --> 00:19:33,307
And I was no ordinary shoemaker.
They came to me only by appointment.
215
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,855
I had to see the people first,
before I take their shoes
216
00:19:37,005 --> 00:19:39,863
and if i liked them
I was mending their shoes.
217
00:19:40,013 --> 00:19:45,922
Did you know that people...
Where did you go? Don't you want to hear?
218
00:19:48,140 --> 00:19:51,497
What is this?
- Your bag. I put it all in, Hans.
219
00:19:51,647 --> 00:19:55,083
My bag?
- Go to Copenhagen. Immediately.
220
00:19:55,254 --> 00:19:57,396
Have you lost your mind, Peter?
221
00:19:57,609 --> 00:20:01,170
It was just a fiction.
Didn't you get it?
222
00:20:01,384 --> 00:20:05,407
Of course I got it, but at least
some of this must be true.
223
00:20:05,557 --> 00:20:08,660
And there may indeed be
large carriages with beautiful horses
224
00:20:08,810 --> 00:20:11,181
and beautiful three-story houses.
225
00:20:11,394 --> 00:20:16,293
Don't you want to see it?
It's close, and your bag is ready.
226
00:20:16,464 --> 00:20:21,110
You only have to cross the threshold.
Quick! Until you change your mind.
227
00:20:22,156 --> 00:20:27,704
Before I changed my mind? And who says
that I think I'm going somewhere? On foot, daytime?
228
00:20:27,912 --> 00:20:30,050
What's wrong with you, Peter?
229
00:20:30,269 --> 00:20:34,254
During these years you forgot about
Copenhagen. You can forget it again
230
00:20:34,404 --> 00:20:37,003
until it's too late
to go anywhere.
231
00:20:37,153 --> 00:20:40,297
No, someday I will indeed go
in Copenhagen.
232
00:20:40,447 --> 00:20:43,129
I'm sure of that.
- Who knows?
233
00:20:43,345 --> 00:20:47,098
Has anyone from this town been there?
in Copenhagen? Of course not.
234
00:20:47,248 --> 00:20:51,289
They always put it off.
Imagine, Hans, you will be first.
235
00:20:51,460 --> 00:20:55,836
What a commotion there will be tomorrow.
They'll be gossiping about it all day.
236
00:20:56,007 --> 00:20:58,893
"Hans has gone to Copenhagen!"
237
00:21:01,073 --> 00:21:04,738
"Hans has gone to Copenhagen!"
238
00:21:08,644 --> 00:21:12,896
Yes! And what a sign
to leave at the door?
239
00:21:13,106 --> 00:21:15,607
"Hans Christian Andersen
went to Copenhagen"
240
00:21:15,757 --> 00:21:19,132
and little shoes,
showing the exit from the city.
241
00:21:19,303 --> 00:21:25,304
I will make the sign tonight. Like
you want - with little shoes and everything.
242
00:21:25,469 --> 00:21:27,827
Goodbye, Hans.
Aren't you glad?
243
00:21:27,977 --> 00:21:31,437
Should I be happy? do you think
that I really must go, Peter?
244
00:21:31,587 --> 00:21:34,023
Why not?
It's only a few days away.
245
00:21:34,194 --> 00:21:38,837
You'll stay a little while, and then I'll leave
return, but you will have been in Copenhagen.
246
00:21:38,987 --> 00:21:44,384
This is a serious step, Peter.
On the other hand, what's holding me back?
247
00:21:45,079 --> 00:21:48,916
God, I'm starting to like it!
- Hans!
248
00:21:49,104 --> 00:21:53,773
If someone had told me in the morning,
that I will decide to go to Copenhagen...
249
00:21:53,923 --> 00:21:56,191
Go Hans!
- Imagine, Peter.
250
00:21:56,341 --> 00:22:00,385
I decided to go to Copenhagen,
just like in my stories.
251
00:22:00,556 --> 00:22:03,638
Goodbye, Hans.
- Goodbye, Peter.
252
00:22:03,849 --> 00:22:06,144
Goodbye, Peter.
Take care of yourself.
253
00:22:06,294 --> 00:22:08,477
I'll be back in a few days.
254
00:22:08,648 --> 00:22:11,791
And say goodbye to my children.
- Okay.
255
00:22:11,941 --> 00:22:14,644
Imagine, Peter -
Copenhagen!
256
00:22:15,382 --> 00:22:17,500
Goodbye, Peter.
257
00:22:45,977 --> 00:22:48,123
Hello.
258
00:22:52,005 --> 00:22:55,359
Oh God, my feet hurt.
259
00:22:59,534 --> 00:23:03,319
I don't understand why from these shoes
my feet hurt so bad
260
00:23:03,496 --> 00:23:08,324
I did them. You are lucky.
You don't have to wear shoes.
261
00:23:08,543 --> 00:23:14,308
I never understood why people
use the phrase "dog's life".
262
00:23:14,737 --> 00:23:19,133
Every dog I've ever known
had a pretty good life.
263
00:23:19,722 --> 00:23:23,564
You don't understand it
and maybe that's better.
264
00:23:24,018 --> 00:23:28,354
If the people of my town
they see me talking to you
265
00:23:28,525 --> 00:23:31,441
do you know what will happen?
266
00:23:31,652 --> 00:23:36,683
They'll be shaking their heads all week.
Imagine how nice it is.
267
00:23:36,865 --> 00:23:42,835
I can say whatever I want to you
and in response you will only turn a tail.
268
00:23:44,457 --> 00:23:47,203
And people do strange things.
269
00:23:47,418 --> 00:23:50,913
Oh yes, my friend.
Even me included.
270
00:23:51,131 --> 00:23:53,423
For example, if you ask me
271
00:23:53,594 --> 00:23:57,381
what am i doing on the way to copenhagen
you know what
272
00:23:57,596 --> 00:23:59,721
I won't be able to answer you.
273
00:23:59,892 --> 00:24:04,464
I've been trying to think about it recently -
Peter's words, my words.
274
00:24:04,614 --> 00:24:08,471
And suddenly I understand
that I am already on my way to Copenhagen.
275
00:24:08,712 --> 00:24:11,482
And you know what else,
friend?
276
00:24:11,695 --> 00:24:14,359
I'm a little scared.
277
00:24:14,573 --> 00:24:17,693
Copenhagen is very big.
278
00:24:17,910 --> 00:24:21,610
But on the other hand
what could happen huh?
279
00:24:21,831 --> 00:24:24,037
People are good.
280
00:24:24,667 --> 00:24:29,161
That's what makes the world good
my friend - the people.
281
00:24:29,380 --> 00:24:32,583
So what can
happen there?
282
00:24:33,614 --> 00:24:38,186
I will enter through the city gates,
I will approach someone and say:
283
00:24:38,336 --> 00:24:42,332
"Hello.
I am Hans Christian Andersen."
284
00:24:43,187 --> 00:24:46,369
I will enter through the city gates
and I will say:
285
00:24:46,579 --> 00:24:49,308
"I am
Hans Christian Andersen."
286
00:24:49,527 --> 00:24:52,101
It's me
Hans Christian Andersen.
287
00:24:52,322 --> 00:24:54,611
I know all kinds of fairy tales.
288
00:24:54,824 --> 00:24:59,253
And though I am a shoemaker by trade,
I will gladly tell you them.
289
00:24:59,425 --> 00:25:04,211
I will mend your shoes and boots,
if I have a spare minute
290
00:25:04,361 --> 00:25:08,918
and if at this point
I'm not busy with other things.
291
00:25:09,131 --> 00:25:12,880
I am Hans Christian Andersen,
this is who i am.
292
00:25:17,182 --> 00:25:21,310
I am Hans Christian Andersen,
and this is an April day.
293
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:25,663
Filled with magic,
he gives me strength in my journey.
294
00:25:25,813 --> 00:25:29,109
My wallet is not full
and I limp with hard shoes,
295
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,800
therefore I better turn
in flying fish,
296
00:25:31,950 --> 00:25:35,450
or in a millionaire in a rocking chair,
or in anything else.
297
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:39,601
I am Hans Christian Andersen.
I'm Andersen, that's who I am.
298
00:25:40,123 --> 00:25:44,415
Hans! Hans!
299
00:25:49,508 --> 00:25:51,605
Peter!
300
00:25:56,724 --> 00:25:59,180
Peter, what are you doing here?
301
00:25:59,394 --> 00:26:02,497
What is this?
Our entire shop is on your cart.
302
00:26:02,647 --> 00:26:05,273
Copenhagen sounded
so tempting hans
303
00:26:05,423 --> 00:26:09,173
that I started to think that maybe
you won't want to go back anytime soon.
304
00:26:09,323 --> 00:26:13,511
And maybe you won't ask at all.
And I thought you might need them.
305
00:26:13,661 --> 00:26:18,286
Peter, sometimes I think
that you attribute your thoughts to me.
306
00:26:18,498 --> 00:26:21,348
Am I?
Oh no, Hans.
307
00:26:21,563 --> 00:26:26,350
And I'm not at all sure it shouldn't
send you back right away.
308
00:26:26,500 --> 00:26:32,309
But Hans...
- What's more, he already caught up with me once.
309
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:49,900
I swam the Skagerrak,
I also swam the Kattegat,
310
00:26:50,115 --> 00:26:54,861
across the harbor,
right on the pier.
311
00:26:55,079 --> 00:27:01,204
And here she stands, waiting for me,
312
00:27:01,419 --> 00:27:07,292
welcomes me warmly and joyfully.
313
00:27:08,218 --> 00:27:14,091
The Wonderful,
the wonderful Copenhagen,
314
00:27:14,308 --> 00:27:18,637
the good old friend.
315
00:27:18,854 --> 00:27:24,349
By the light of his pubs,
in this merry night,
316
00:27:24,569 --> 00:27:30,156
we'll knock
and we will drink to the bottom
317
00:27:30,867 --> 00:27:36,573
for the wonderful,
wonderful Copenhagen -
318
00:27:36,790 --> 00:27:41,251
the salty old sea king.
319
00:27:41,462 --> 00:27:46,915
I was far away
but here I amagain
320
00:27:47,135 --> 00:27:50,836
and sing about Copenhagen,
321
00:27:51,056 --> 00:27:57,556
my wonderful
wonderful Copenhagen!
322
00:27:57,938 --> 00:28:00,082
There it is!
323
00:28:08,199 --> 00:28:12,279
The Wonderful,
wonderful Copenhagen -
324
00:28:12,495 --> 00:28:15,865
the good old friend.
325
00:28:16,083 --> 00:28:20,369
By the light of his pubs,
in this merry night,
326
00:28:20,587 --> 00:28:25,084
we'll knock each other and drink to the bottom
327
00:28:25,301 --> 00:28:29,762
for the wonderful,
wonderful Copenhagen -
328
00:28:29,972 --> 00:28:33,306
the salty old sea king.
329
00:28:33,518 --> 00:28:37,935
I was far away
but here I amagain
330
00:28:38,148 --> 00:28:40,686
and sing about Copenhagen,
331
00:28:40,901 --> 00:28:46,026
my wonderful
wonderful Copenhagen!
332
00:28:47,158 --> 00:28:50,574
"Copenhagen Weekly"!
333
00:28:50,787 --> 00:28:54,831
Buy it

Buy it

336
00:29:05,636 --> 00:29:09,681
A match! A match!
Match!
337
00:29:09,890 --> 00:29:12,642
Please buy a match.
338
00:29:12,852 --> 00:29:16,221
A match! Match!
339
00:29:16,439 --> 00:29:19,643
Trifles! Trifles!
340
00:29:19,859 --> 00:29:25,020
Beautiful red roses.
341
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:29,155
Beautiful red roses.
342
00:29:34,417 --> 00:29:37,916
Pots and pans!
Pots and pans!
343
00:29:38,129 --> 00:29:41,913
Chimney sweeper!
344
00:29:42,884 --> 00:29:47,712
I'll sweep your chimney!
345
00:30:15,586 --> 00:30:19,999
Perch! Perch!
Buy a perch!
346
00:30:20,216 --> 00:30:22,423
Fresh clams!
347
00:30:22,635 --> 00:30:28,467
Fish! Fresh fish!

00:30:39,987 --> 00:30:42,276
Sausages!
Sausages!
351
00:30:46,035 --> 00:30:48,657
Beautiful flowers!
352
00:30:48,872 --> 00:30:52,122
Cheese, butter and eggs!
353
00:30:53,168 --> 00:30:57,538
Cheese, butter and eggs!
- Buy bread from Bertha!
354
00:30:57,756 --> 00:31:00,005
Can I have half a loaf, please?
355
00:31:00,217 --> 00:31:03,302
Five shillings.
- Thank you.
356
00:31:03,513 --> 00:31:07,511
Hans, why don't we open up
shop here?
357
00:31:08,852 --> 00:31:12,470
Here?
What are we waiting for?
358
00:31:24,952 --> 00:31:29,081
I am Hans Christian Andersen,
pride for shoemaking.
359
00:31:29,290 --> 00:31:33,584
Let me show you
the great discovery I made.
360
00:31:33,795 --> 00:31:37,443
If in the spring the shoe squeaks,
if it screams all day,
361
00:31:37,614 --> 00:31:40,329
you think the shoe
cannot speak,
362
00:31:40,538 --> 00:31:44,396
but if you listen to that squeak,
you can clearly hear:
363
00:31:44,546 --> 00:31:48,262
"Let Hans Christian Andersen
fix me!"
364
00:31:49,896 --> 00:31:54,086
In the face of Hans Christian Andersen
your feet get a reliable friend
365
00:31:54,236 --> 00:31:58,320
or rather I should say doctor who
your fingers will recommend to anyone.
366
00:31:58,470 --> 00:32:02,685
I work all nights if the shoe
tight to find out why.
367
00:32:02,835 --> 00:32:06,301
And here I raise the hammer,
I squint and hit,
368
00:32:06,518 --> 00:32:09,519
but sometimes
I stub my toe. Oh!
369
00:32:09,730 --> 00:32:12,958
What is your name?
- I am Hans Christian Andersen!
370
00:32:13,108 --> 00:32:15,860
Thank you. You are under arrest.
- Arrested?
371
00:32:16,070 --> 00:32:19,999
For disrespecting the statue of the king.
Catch this boy!
372
00:32:27,457 --> 00:32:29,865
Run, Peter!
Run!
373
00:33:06,708 --> 00:33:12,295
Do you need a new ballet for the tour, Otto?
Then do as I told you!
374
00:33:12,506 --> 00:33:17,334
You heard what I told you.
- Nils, be prudent.
375
00:33:17,553 --> 00:33:20,554
Okay, don't.
Stand here and argue.
376
00:33:20,764 --> 00:33:24,265
I will find a cobbler
and you go and teach them ballet.
377
00:33:24,477 --> 00:33:28,291
But why is it a matter of life and death
to find a cobbler immediately?
378
00:33:28,441 --> 00:33:31,871
Because you have a ballerina
who is such a braggart
379
00:33:32,021 --> 00:33:35,278
that he wants to always be an example
of the whole troupe.
380
00:33:35,449 --> 00:33:37,546
Terrible perfume.
381
00:33:37,762 --> 00:33:40,177
Sir, I know where...
- Have fun!
382
00:33:40,327 --> 00:33:44,348
She won't handle it.
I know it much better than you.
383
00:33:44,498 --> 00:33:48,641
Great. You know her...
- Otto, the ballet is only half over.
384
00:33:48,791 --> 00:33:54,015
I warn you - is there no cobbler,
there is no ballet either. I guarantee it, Otto.
385
00:33:55,594 --> 00:33:59,010
I know where to find a cobbler.
- What?
386
00:33:59,222 --> 00:34:02,224
I said I know where
to find a cobbler.
387
00:34:02,395 --> 00:34:05,915
Where?
- You just have to influence someone.
388
00:34:06,125 --> 00:34:08,451
To influence?
- To the police.
389
00:34:08,661 --> 00:34:13,228
We must hurry, sir.
I know where he is now.
390
00:34:31,591 --> 00:34:34,965
Hello.
- Hello.
391
00:34:35,178 --> 00:34:37,586
Hello!
- Hello!
392
00:34:38,515 --> 00:34:44,143
Are you all alone?
- Well, you could say yes.
393
00:34:44,354 --> 00:34:46,480
Are you afraid?
- Huh?
394
00:34:46,690 --> 00:34:50,266
Are you afraid?
- Should I be afraid? No.
395
00:34:50,486 --> 00:34:54,029
In fact, no one is truly alone.
Did you know that?
396
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:57,484
In fact,
I am expecting guests now.
397
00:34:57,702 --> 00:35:01,203
Do you mind if I introduce you?
Are you sure?
398
00:35:01,353 --> 00:35:05,731
Are you absolutely sure?
Don't leave.
399
00:35:24,314 --> 00:35:26,502
Here it is.
400
00:35:27,442 --> 00:35:32,854
She's pretty, isn't she? Her name is Palechka.
Say hello, Thumbelina.
401
00:35:33,595 --> 00:35:36,786
And now you too.
- Hello.
402
00:35:39,288 --> 00:35:43,581
She is very unhappy.
What's up, Thumbelina?
403
00:35:44,106 --> 00:35:47,045
you are sad
is it because you are so small?
404
00:35:47,215 --> 00:35:50,430
But this is not a reason at all
to be sad, right?
405
00:35:50,580 --> 00:35:52,590
Hey!
But what about you?
406
00:35:52,803 --> 00:35:56,234
Even though you're not
bigger than my finger,
407
00:35:56,453 --> 00:36:00,154
from my finger, from my finger,
408
00:36:00,374 --> 00:36:03,244
dear Thumbelina, don't be sad.
409
00:36:04,086 --> 00:36:07,621
No, no, no.
410
00:36:08,361 --> 00:36:11,838
Thumb, Thumb,
small as a crumb.
411
00:36:12,053 --> 00:36:15,137
Little finger, dance.
Thumb, sing.
412
00:36:15,348 --> 00:36:19,205
Oh Thumb, who cares
at work that you are so small?
413
00:36:19,355 --> 00:36:23,932
If your heart is full of love,
you will grow in the eyes of men!
414
00:36:24,149 --> 00:36:29,180
She is still sad. What's up baby?
Do you want to play with someone?
415
00:36:29,363 --> 00:36:31,545
do you want
Here it is.
416
00:36:32,074 --> 00:36:36,786
So. Say hello.
Do you want a kiss?
417
00:36:37,270 --> 00:36:41,977
Maybe you want to dance?
do you want Well, come on.
418
00:36:42,398 --> 00:36:45,583
Thumb, Thumb,
small as a crumb.
419
00:36:45,798 --> 00:36:49,498
Little finger, dance.
Thumb, sing.
420
00:36:49,718 --> 00:36:54,004
Oh Thumb, who cares
at work that you are so small?
421
00:36:54,154 --> 00:37:00,654
If your heart is full of love,
you will grow in the eyes of men!
422
00:37:02,315 --> 00:37:04,455
Open up.
423
00:37:07,196 --> 00:37:09,377
Hans!
- Peter!
424
00:37:10,449 --> 00:37:13,154
what are you doing here
- Are you a shoemaker?
425
00:37:13,369 --> 00:37:14,827
Yes.
- Faster.
426
00:37:14,998 --> 00:37:19,622
You are under guardianship
of the Royal Danish Ballet. Let's go!
427
00:37:20,752 --> 00:37:24,999
Under whose care?
- You're free, that's the most important thing.
428
00:37:25,206 --> 00:37:27,778
Did they mistreat you, Hans?
- No.
429
00:37:27,928 --> 00:37:30,107
where is your coat
- Here.
430
00:37:30,325 --> 00:37:34,754
Where are we going? Who is this person?
- What are you doing there? Let's go!
431
00:37:34,904 --> 00:37:38,095
Come on, Hans.
We have work to do!
432
00:37:40,961 --> 00:37:43,105
Even! Even!
433
00:37:43,318 --> 00:37:47,485
Evenly!
Keep the line straight!
434
00:37:48,219 --> 00:37:50,305
Higher!
Higher!
435
00:37:50,993 --> 00:37:53,345
Great.
436
00:38:36,959 --> 00:38:41,000
This is the most...
- Quiet! This is a dress rehearsal.
437
00:41:35,734 --> 00:41:38,439
Okay, okay.
438
00:41:38,654 --> 00:41:41,320
We will repeat it one more time.
439
00:41:41,470 --> 00:41:44,008
Ladies, the pirouettes
they are downright ugly.
440
00:41:44,158 --> 00:41:46,826
Gentlemen, the supports
they should be higher.
441
00:41:46,976 --> 00:41:50,017
The performance of the ballerinas
I won't even discuss it.
442
00:41:50,167 --> 00:41:54,294
At this rate it can go on
until the morning. One more time.
443
00:41:54,465 --> 00:41:59,759
Not with these shoes, dear.
I told you, did you forget?
444
00:42:01,199 --> 00:42:03,986
Stop!
Everyone stop.
445
00:42:04,515 --> 00:42:06,705
Is the cobbler here yet?
446
00:42:06,976 --> 00:42:11,185
I'm here.
- Get up here, shoemaker.
447
00:42:12,190 --> 00:42:15,084
Come on, hurry up!
448
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:25,823
Cobbler, this lady will explain
what should be done.
449
00:42:25,973 --> 00:42:29,776
It will be hard, but neither is she
a very ordinary ballerina.
450
00:42:29,986 --> 00:42:32,858
She is something more.
Of all the Danish ballerinas,
451
00:42:33,008 --> 00:42:36,339
she's the only one who can't
to follow my instructions
452
00:42:36,489 --> 00:42:39,906
no special shoes existing
only in her imagination.
453
00:42:40,056 --> 00:42:42,847
Maybe she will make it
to explain to you.
454
00:42:43,017 --> 00:42:45,910
We cannot understand
such a great ballerina.
455
00:42:46,060 --> 00:42:49,456
We must only
to obey her wishes.
456
00:42:49,606 --> 00:42:51,765
It's not low enough
dear!
457
00:42:51,983 --> 00:42:57,290
Come, sir. I think there
we will be able to talk more calmly.
458
00:43:00,576 --> 00:43:03,365
Lunch break for all.
459
00:43:06,290 --> 00:43:11,268
Did you see how I made a jet?
When I jumped.
460
00:43:11,483 --> 00:43:14,757
I want to rise up in the air
and freeze
461
00:43:14,966 --> 00:43:19,260
it's like I'm standing in the air.
462
00:43:19,471 --> 00:43:22,472
With these shoes
this is impossible
463
00:43:22,683 --> 00:43:26,326
but if you put something in front,
i could do it.
464
00:43:26,510 --> 00:43:30,939
I'm sure I could
to shut up that rascal.
465
00:43:31,089 --> 00:43:34,944
I want to prove to him so much
that this is not impossible.
466
00:43:35,115 --> 00:43:39,324
It's possible, right?
Can you do it?
467
00:43:39,495 --> 00:43:43,784
Yes.
Yes, I can do that.
468
00:43:43,997 --> 00:43:48,041
I'll think of something.
Something soft and silent.
469
00:43:48,212 --> 00:43:50,357
I'm sure
that I will do something
470
00:43:50,507 --> 00:43:54,507
and you will be able to freeze in mid-air.
- You understood me!
471
00:43:54,722 --> 00:43:57,723
I see that indeed
you got my point.
472
00:43:57,873 --> 00:44:03,196
I will be very grateful to you.
Here, can you do it quickly?
473
00:44:03,414 --> 00:44:09,210
That would be such a favor.
I will be eternally grateful. Thank you.
474
00:44:09,421 --> 00:44:11,773
Louisa, my slippers.
475
00:44:14,947 --> 00:44:17,154
The exit is from here.
476
00:44:20,036 --> 00:44:25,699
Hans! God, how long have you been gone!
Do we have work?
477
00:44:26,376 --> 00:44:29,159
What are you holding?
- Slippers.
478
00:44:29,380 --> 00:44:34,292
Slippers? I have never seen
similar. Who wears these?
479
00:44:34,497 --> 00:44:38,283
The nicest lady I've ever seen.
- Why is he wearing these?
480
00:44:38,433 --> 00:44:41,717
Because he dances, Peter.
No - it floats.
481
00:44:41,935 --> 00:44:45,103
when he smiles
your heart sinks and stops.
482
00:44:45,274 --> 00:44:51,443
She was smiling and standing next to me.
He even touched me. Where are our things?
483
00:44:51,614 --> 00:44:55,112
I promised her I would make them quickly.
- Nearby.
484
00:44:55,658 --> 00:44:58,784
I hid things
in the theater warehouse.
485
00:44:58,995 --> 00:45:02,424
She wants her slippers
to fly in the air, Peter.
486
00:45:02,580 --> 00:45:06,223
as soon as possible
the better. Well, he will get them.
487
00:45:06,691 --> 00:45:10,990
She should have asked me
for something truly impossible.
488
00:45:24,627 --> 00:45:28,565
Doro... are you hungry?
489
00:45:31,822 --> 00:45:34,070
do you love me
490
00:45:34,283 --> 00:45:37,818
yes i love you
even half hungry.
491
00:45:39,121 --> 00:45:43,413
Come on.
Sit down. Let me feed you.
492
00:45:44,419 --> 00:45:48,547
Here it is. A sip of this
it will get you back in the mood.
493
00:45:48,757 --> 00:45:54,157
And look. I asked Helga today
to make this special for you.
494
00:45:54,327 --> 00:45:56,513
Honey, was I cruel today?
495
00:45:56,684 --> 00:46:00,550
Oh yes, my friend.
He was really cruel.
496
00:46:00,770 --> 00:46:04,740
I was ready to cry.
- Doro, I'm sorry.
497
00:46:04,949 --> 00:46:07,057
Nils, don't apologize.
498
00:46:07,277 --> 00:46:10,653
That's how it should be.
Can't you see, my angel?
499
00:46:10,824 --> 00:46:15,983
We are like two tigers at work
in a cage, but then…
500
00:46:16,203 --> 00:46:19,868
That's why after
it's so nice.
501
00:46:21,083 --> 00:46:24,325
Now isn't it nice?
- It's great.
502
00:46:24,952 --> 00:46:28,360
But why am I forgetting it now,
in which do you start dancing?
503
00:46:28,510 --> 00:46:32,051
Then I see before me
only his mortal enemy - the ballerina.
504
00:46:32,201 --> 00:46:35,680
Because ballet is your life,
same as mine.
505
00:46:35,851 --> 00:46:39,851
Did it not occur to you that during
at a dance sometimes I forget
506
00:46:40,001 --> 00:46:44,502
that you are my husband and I want
kill you for the things you say?
507
00:46:44,673 --> 00:46:48,460
Do you really want to kill me?
- Of course I want to.
508
00:46:48,610 --> 00:46:53,902
Shouldn't that be the case?
I couldn't have it any other way, and you?
509
00:46:54,119 --> 00:46:59,613
Oh Nils, we are so happy
i love you so much too
510
00:47:10,261 --> 00:47:12,784
Excuse me for the slippers
dear
511
00:47:12,993 --> 00:47:16,201
In the afternoon I will behave
decent, you'll see.
512
00:47:16,413 --> 00:47:21,436
Shall I excuse you for the slippers?
- Everything was fine with them.
513
00:47:22,462 --> 00:47:27,233
I only did it to torture you.
- Oh, right?
514
00:47:27,446 --> 00:47:30,906
I know how to torture you perfectly
right dear
515
00:47:31,077 --> 00:47:35,829
And you are so poetic
when you're angry baby
516
00:47:36,331 --> 00:47:41,167
I never paid attention.
So you made it all up?
517
00:47:41,317 --> 00:47:44,175
But you were so awful.
You deserve it.
518
00:47:44,325 --> 00:47:48,696
You wanted everyone to see
your little revenge?
519
00:47:48,907 --> 00:47:53,403
Did you forget he told you?
in front of the whole troupe for my dance?
520
00:47:53,620 --> 00:47:56,550
No, I haven't forgotten.
I remember my every word.
521
00:47:56,700 --> 00:47:59,239
I was right.
- Oh, right?
522
00:47:59,460 --> 00:48:04,031
Yes, and if you're done eating,
can i say that one more time
523
00:48:04,242 --> 00:48:06,956
because we go back
in rehearsal.
524
00:48:07,106 --> 00:48:10,509
You were dancing the waltz
like an elephant on ice.
525
00:48:11,097 --> 00:48:14,457
What did you say?
- I said she was dancing the waltz
526
00:48:14,667 --> 00:48:16,811
like an elephant on ice.
527
00:48:17,020 --> 00:48:21,730
No, like an elephant that has fallen
and tries to stand up.
528
00:48:21,942 --> 00:48:24,871
Did you hear me now?
Is that strong enough?
529
00:48:25,021 --> 00:48:30,032
how dare you I'm trying my best
to fulfill your every whim.
530
00:48:30,203 --> 00:48:34,574
I bring to the audience
all your stupid moves.
531
00:48:34,789 --> 00:48:38,813
You don't express yourself enough.
At least once he was in tact.
532
00:48:38,984 --> 00:48:43,539
You're not only cruel, you're heartless.
Absolutely heartless.
533
00:48:43,757 --> 00:48:46,251
You like to talk to me
cruel words.
534
00:48:46,461 --> 00:48:49,553
I would like you to see me
to crawl at your feet
535
00:48:49,724 --> 00:48:55,221
You can learn the moves that way.
- How can I bear this? How?
536
00:48:55,437 --> 00:49:00,742
Come on, you can cry louder.
I've already heard your sobs.
537
00:49:07,408 --> 00:49:11,409
This, my girl, is because of you
slipper fantasies.
538
00:49:11,559 --> 00:49:17,663
Everyone on stage! Let's see what
you will come up with this rehearsal.
539
00:49:18,086 --> 00:49:20,411
Did you mend the slippers?
Okay.
540
00:49:20,630 --> 00:49:24,016
Do you see what he's doing to her?
- Of course.
541
00:49:24,197 --> 00:49:29,506
Never get involved in an argument
between spouses. The best rule.
542
00:49:30,245 --> 00:49:34,171
You mean she is married
for him? For this man?
543
00:49:34,381 --> 00:49:38,238
Of course. Go please.
Outsiders are prohibited
544
00:49:38,448 --> 00:49:43,020
to be in the theater on time
in rehearsal. Another good rule of thumb.
545
00:49:43,170 --> 00:49:47,181
How much do we owe you for these slippers,
my boy
546
00:49:57,733 --> 00:50:00,164
How could you do that?
547
00:50:00,382 --> 00:50:03,883
How could a girl like you
to marry someone like him?
548
00:50:04,033 --> 00:50:06,134
How can I help you?
549
00:50:06,346 --> 00:50:08,739
Dance!
Dance!
550
00:50:08,953 --> 00:50:11,766
Dance!
Dance!
551
00:50:11,977 --> 00:50:14,158
Dance!
552
00:50:35,273 --> 00:50:37,417
Help me!
553
00:50:37,630 --> 00:50:39,774
Help me!
554
00:50:39,987 --> 00:50:42,131
Help me!
555
00:50:53,272 --> 00:50:55,520
Help me!
556
00:52:29,876 --> 00:52:34,121
Cobbler? Shoemaker?
557
00:52:35,060 --> 00:52:37,240
Thanks for the slippers.
558
00:52:37,450 --> 00:52:41,594
You left before I could
to thank you. They were wonderful.
559
00:52:41,744 --> 00:52:46,055
I was really floating on air.
Thank you.
560
00:52:53,380 --> 00:52:55,479
Thank you.
561
00:52:58,240 --> 00:53:01,169
Don't tell me what I'm doing.
They will work tomorrow.
562
00:53:01,319 --> 00:53:05,933
They will work until it works.
I will torture them to exhaustion.
563
00:53:06,104 --> 00:53:09,595
And pass me the coat
only when I tell you.
564
00:53:15,967 --> 00:53:18,053
To home.
565
00:53:35,801 --> 00:53:39,574
Everyone there is so much fun.
They laugh and kiss,
566
00:53:39,783 --> 00:53:44,394
and then they scream and fight
each other. It's like they've gone crazy.
567
00:53:46,229 --> 00:53:48,373
What are you doing Hans?
568
00:53:48,585 --> 00:53:51,850
I'm writing.
- A letter? To the children?
569
00:53:52,068 --> 00:53:55,568
Give them something from me too.
- It's not for the kids.
570
00:53:55,781 --> 00:53:59,150
What?
And who are you writing to, Hans?
571
00:54:00,098 --> 00:54:03,993
The ballerina.
Never mind, Peter.
572
00:54:07,460 --> 00:54:10,960
Why are you writing to the ballerina
Hans?
573
00:54:11,172 --> 00:54:16,297
I heard him talking to her.
I saw him hit her across the face.
574
00:54:16,511 --> 00:54:19,596
But, Hans, they are married.
575
00:54:21,141 --> 00:54:23,285
I know that.
576
00:54:23,498 --> 00:54:26,641
I heard them talking
before you come, Hans.
577
00:54:26,858 --> 00:54:29,525
It was completely different.
578
00:54:29,734 --> 00:54:32,900
Listen, Peter, you're still a child.
You don't understand.
579
00:54:33,884 --> 00:54:36,322
I saw her with my own eyes
how he cried
580
00:54:36,493 --> 00:54:38,908
But, Hans, they...
- Don't distract me.
581
00:54:39,079 --> 00:54:42,164
I have to finish it today.
582
00:54:57,806 --> 00:55:03,636
"The Little Mermaid",
a tale of Miss Doro."
583
00:55:05,105 --> 00:55:11,605
"So gradually the mermaid
began to understand
584
00:55:12,780 --> 00:55:18,929
that she is not in love
in the right person."
585
00:55:53,949 --> 00:55:56,197
Enter.
Enter.
586
00:55:57,703 --> 00:56:01,919
Excuse me, sir, but he insisted
see you right away.
587
00:56:02,069 --> 00:56:06,044
Quiet, she's still sleeping. What's up porter?
Who is this boy?
588
00:56:06,219 --> 00:56:08,434
This has been addressed
to Miss Doro.
589
00:56:08,584 --> 00:56:11,878
He tried to enter the theater
and take it.
590
00:56:12,094 --> 00:56:15,156
It looks like some kind of fairy tale
and is addressed to her.
591
00:56:15,306 --> 00:56:20,021
Why did you try to take it?
- I didn't try to steal it.
592
00:56:20,171 --> 00:56:23,395
It's mine.
- But why is it addressed to my wife?
593
00:56:23,606 --> 00:56:28,067
Nils, what's going on?
- It's mine! Please give it to me!
594
00:56:29,321 --> 00:56:31,508
Well, who wrote it?
595
00:56:32,136 --> 00:56:36,408
Me.
- You?
596
00:56:42,210 --> 00:56:46,358
And can you explain why?
did you write this story to my wife?
597
00:56:46,508 --> 00:56:48,694
It doesn't affect you or her.
598
00:56:48,865 --> 00:56:52,070
It's just a story.
He made up a fairy tale and that's it.
599
00:56:52,220 --> 00:56:55,886
He is always making up stories.
He also composed this one.
600
00:56:56,100 --> 00:56:58,809
Now will you tell me?
who are you talking about
601
00:56:58,980 --> 00:57:03,936
We know you didn't write it, that's why
there's no point in lying. Who is he?
602
00:57:04,358 --> 00:57:07,443
A friend of mine.
- What's his name?
603
00:57:07,614 --> 00:57:12,760
Hans... Christian Andersen.
Shoemaker.
604
00:57:15,746 --> 00:57:18,030
Honey, it's that cobbler.
605
00:57:18,248 --> 00:57:21,521
The cobbler who fixed yesterday
so good my slippers
606
00:57:21,671 --> 00:57:25,973
He wrote me a story about ballet.
- I can't believe it!
607
00:57:26,182 --> 00:57:30,124
Tell the cobbler I liked it very much.
Was his name Hans?
608
00:57:30,345 --> 00:57:33,559
I will read it carefully.
609
00:57:33,807 --> 00:57:36,767
The Little Mermaid.
- That's enough.
610
00:57:36,977 --> 00:57:40,352
It's all so innocent
and touching.
611
00:57:42,754 --> 00:57:45,443
I haven't told you yet:
"Good morning".
612
00:57:46,216 --> 00:57:48,673
Good morning dear.
613
00:58:09,637 --> 00:58:13,587
where were you I lost it.
I can't find it anywhere.
614
00:58:13,808 --> 00:58:16,478
Help me search.
Is that okay Peter?
615
00:58:16,686 --> 00:58:22,097
You disappear at the most inopportune moment.
I'll have to rewrite it.
616
00:58:22,317 --> 00:58:26,403
It won't be necessary.
- Don't stand there. Start searching.
617
00:58:26,614 --> 00:58:29,658
No need to write it again.
- What?
618
00:58:30,806 --> 00:58:33,160
She got it.
619
00:58:36,166 --> 00:58:38,414
What did you say?
620
00:58:38,627 --> 00:58:41,712
She got it, Hans.
Already.
621
00:58:41,922 --> 00:58:46,610
Did she get it?
But how? How did she get it?
622
00:58:48,846 --> 00:58:52,580
I was reading it, and the wind
snatched it from my hands.
623
00:58:52,934 --> 00:58:58,645
Did you take it? But why?
Never mind, Peter. Carry on.
624
00:58:58,857 --> 00:59:02,475
Litna, entered through the window
to the theater and...
625
00:59:03,341 --> 00:59:06,110
and thus fell into it.
626
00:59:06,803 --> 00:59:09,155
The wind blew her away.
627
00:59:09,368 --> 00:59:12,552
It's a sign, Peter.
It's a sign.
628
00:59:13,977 --> 00:59:17,042
She is reading it now.
629
00:59:22,007 --> 00:59:24,255
Don't go there, Hans.
Don't.
630
00:59:24,468 --> 00:59:28,753
You have to, Peter. I have to talk
with her. I will be able to help her.
631
00:59:29,953 --> 00:59:34,102
This armchair and this sofa.
Take them to the van.
632
00:59:34,311 --> 00:59:37,266
Hey, what's going on here?
what are you doing
633
00:59:37,482 --> 00:59:39,642
The ballet leaves.
634
00:59:40,109 --> 00:59:42,358
Is he leaving?
635
00:59:47,993 --> 00:59:50,851
Excuse me.
Is it true that ballet is going away?
636
00:59:51,045 --> 00:59:53,892
It is true.
The annual tour.
637
00:59:54,104 --> 00:59:57,453
Where?
How long will they be gone?
638
01:00:29,120 --> 01:00:33,049
This is the school bell.
Go to school. Faster.
639
01:00:33,199 --> 01:00:37,150
Go on. Tomorrow will be a new day
and a new tale.
640
01:00:37,588 --> 01:00:43,004
I don't need trouble with the teachers.
Live it up, kids. More alive.
641
01:00:48,099 --> 01:00:50,723
What's up?
are you sad
642
01:00:54,022 --> 01:00:58,352
Do you want me to tell you?
a special tale?
643
01:00:58,777 --> 01:01:00,938
Come here.
644
01:01:02,719 --> 01:01:04,863
Come on.
645
01:01:11,916 --> 01:01:15,333
I don't bite.
Go up faster.
646
01:01:17,422 --> 01:01:20,377
So let's think...
647
01:01:24,722 --> 01:01:29,515
Once upon a time
an ugly duckling.
648
01:01:29,727 --> 01:01:33,271
His brown feathers
sticking out in different directions.
649
01:01:33,442 --> 01:01:37,420
And all the other birds,
with a different voice,
650
01:01:37,630 --> 01:01:40,606
They told him:
"Get out of town!
651
01:01:41,448 --> 01:01:47,641
Get out! Get out!
Get out of town!"
652
01:01:48,477 --> 01:01:52,335
And it went creaking and creaking,
croaking and croaking,
653
01:01:52,485 --> 01:01:55,985
all in fluff -
from head to toe.
654
01:01:56,631 --> 01:01:59,560
Shall I tell you?
what happened next
655
01:01:59,710 --> 01:02:01,854
Okay.
656
01:02:03,013 --> 01:02:06,678
Poor, little,
ugly duckling
657
01:02:06,892 --> 01:02:10,308
went wandering
farther and farther,
658
01:02:10,521 --> 01:02:13,937
but everyone said to him:
659
01:02:14,150 --> 01:02:17,602
"Listen, get out of here.
660
01:02:18,363 --> 01:02:24,554
Get out! Get out!
Get out of here!"
661
01:02:25,287 --> 01:02:29,073
And it went creaking and creaking,
croaking and croaking,
662
01:02:29,223 --> 01:02:33,091
drenched in hot tears.
663
01:02:40,449 --> 01:02:45,714
Throughout the winter
it was winged by all,
664
01:02:45,934 --> 01:02:52,139
ashamed to show his face
for fear of what others will say.
665
01:02:52,358 --> 01:02:58,397
All winter it flew
in his solitary retreat,
666
01:02:58,615 --> 01:03:04,618
until a flock of swans came along
and they did not tell him:
667
01:03:04,830 --> 01:03:11,023
"You are so
a beautiful swan!"
668
01:03:12,171 --> 01:03:15,835
"A swan? Am I a swan?
No, it can't be."
669
01:03:16,050 --> 01:03:20,979
And they repeated: "Yes, you are a swan.
Look at your reflection and you will see."
670
01:03:21,129 --> 01:03:26,808
And it looked and saw
and said: "I am a swan! Yes!"
671
01:03:27,229 --> 01:03:31,013
I'm not an ugly duckling anymore
672
01:03:31,233 --> 01:03:34,400
and my feathers don't stick out anymore.
673
01:03:34,612 --> 01:03:38,692
And all the other birds,
in a different voice he sang:
674
01:03:38,908 --> 01:03:41,197
"The best in town!"
675
01:03:41,411 --> 01:03:47,624
The best! The best!
The best in town!"
676
01:03:47,820 --> 01:03:51,107
No more croaking and creaking,
creaking and croaking.
677
01:03:51,257 --> 01:03:56,083
There's smooth gliding and rapture,
and snow-white back,
678
01:03:56,302 --> 01:04:02,257
and a long noble neck.
679
01:04:02,475 --> 01:04:06,520
Well, who's the ugly duckling?
680
01:04:06,730 --> 01:04:09,055
Me neither!
681
01:04:15,385 --> 01:04:17,566
Me neither!
682
01:04:17,783 --> 01:04:21,804
So, Lars, what does it matter,
that they won't play with you?
683
01:04:21,954 --> 01:04:24,736
It matters.
I want to play with them
684
01:04:24,957 --> 01:04:29,887
and they make fun of me because I was
sick and the doctor shaved my head.
685
01:04:30,037 --> 01:04:33,286
Yes, but look what happened
with the ugly duckling.
686
01:04:33,823 --> 01:04:38,967
Someday you'll look in the mirror
much sooner than you think
687
01:04:39,117 --> 01:04:42,507
and your hair will have grown,
you too will be changed
688
01:04:42,727 --> 01:04:46,583
like the ugly duckling. You will be
more beautiful than all of them. I promise you.
689
01:04:46,733 --> 01:04:50,772
Really, Hans?
- Of course.
690
01:04:51,444 --> 01:04:55,373
You better hurry now
for school. You're already late.
691
01:04:55,524 --> 01:04:57,981
Goodbye, Hans.
- Goodbye.
692
01:05:03,791 --> 01:05:07,331
shoemaker
are my shoes ready
693
01:05:07,545 --> 01:05:11,004
Yes ma'am. Here they are.
One brand please.
694
01:05:11,216 --> 01:05:13,655
One brand?
That much?
695
01:05:13,864 --> 01:05:16,530
Yes ma'am.
They practically became new.
696
01:05:18,140 --> 01:05:22,348
What a beauty!
What are these shoes?
697
01:05:23,228 --> 01:05:27,229
Ballet slippers. I made them.
To the last link.
698
01:05:27,379 --> 01:05:29,481
They are wonderful!
- Please, madam.
699
01:05:29,694 --> 01:05:34,362
They can get squashed, you see.
- Who wears such charm?
700
01:05:34,574 --> 01:05:39,043
A dancing lady.
Her legs twinkle like little stars.
701
01:05:39,600 --> 01:05:43,100
I assure you there isn't even one
to notice the slippers
702
01:05:43,250 --> 01:05:45,357
she is beautiful without them.
703
01:05:46,420 --> 01:05:48,564
Thank you.
704
01:05:49,382 --> 01:05:52,502
Thank you.
Come again.
705
01:06:39,018 --> 01:06:44,357
I felt the heat
of her friendly arms,
706
01:06:44,566 --> 01:06:48,778
her eyes shone like fire.
707
01:06:49,321 --> 01:06:54,149
And then I realized
that they are expecting me
708
01:06:54,368 --> 01:06:59,659
sleepless nights,
709
01:06:59,874 --> 01:07:06,127
as I wander,
710
01:07:06,339 --> 01:07:10,587
while I'm excited.
711
01:07:11,178 --> 01:07:17,423
Until they hug me again
the hands of the beloved,
712
01:07:17,852 --> 01:07:23,095
my heart
will not calm down,
713
01:07:24,401 --> 01:07:29,395
wherever I wander,
714
01:07:30,407 --> 01:07:34,322
wherever I roam.
715
01:08:01,941 --> 01:08:07,565
Wherever I wander,
716
01:08:09,324 --> 01:08:15,824
wherever I roam.
717
01:08:38,313 --> 01:08:40,770
Are you Hans the shoemaker?
- Yes, sir.
718
01:08:40,920 --> 01:08:44,172
Nice to meet you.
- My pleasure, sir.
719
01:08:44,322 --> 01:08:47,342
You have no idea
why is all this, right?
720
01:08:47,492 --> 01:08:51,064
No, sir.
- I am the father of the ugly duckling.
721
01:08:51,214 --> 01:08:55,894
Does that tell you anything?
- You are Lars' father. I understand.
722
01:08:56,103 --> 01:08:59,025
This tale helped him
to survive a difficult time.
723
01:08:59,175 --> 01:09:01,315
I am very grateful to you.
724
01:09:01,486 --> 01:09:05,174
When I checked I found
that you have many such tales.
725
01:09:05,324 --> 01:09:09,595
Now the children talk only about them.
Have you ever recorded them?
726
01:09:09,766 --> 01:09:13,816
No, sir.
- Then I have a surprise for you. Come on.
727
01:09:14,811 --> 01:09:17,470
Give me a paper.
728
01:09:45,761 --> 01:09:48,721
Thank you very much.
729
01:09:52,685 --> 01:09:55,635
the best gift
which I have received.
730
01:09:55,845 --> 01:09:57,994
I'm glad.
And Lars will be happy.
731
01:10:01,194 --> 01:10:04,175
Can I ask you something?
If you don't mind?
732
01:10:04,325 --> 01:10:07,158
Of course.
Don't worry.
733
01:10:07,368 --> 01:10:11,076
Then, instead of the signature
"Hans the Shoemaker"
734
01:10:11,288 --> 01:10:16,146
can it be written "Hans Christian
Andersen" as a real writer?
735
01:10:16,296 --> 01:10:20,668
Of course. And, Hans,
if you record these tales like this,
736
01:10:20,878 --> 01:10:27,096
as you tell them to the children
I will print them and pay you for them.
737
01:10:29,266 --> 01:10:31,888
I can't believe it!
738
01:10:33,020 --> 01:10:35,354
When will it be printed?
- Tomorrow.
739
01:10:35,525 --> 01:10:40,730
He will write all day tomorrow
"Hans Christian Andersen".
740
01:10:40,945 --> 01:10:43,068
All day?
741
01:10:44,950 --> 01:10:48,319
Goodbye, sir.
- Goodbye.
742
01:10:49,621 --> 01:10:51,870
All day?
743
01:10:53,584 --> 01:10:57,534
Thank you sir.
- I thank you.
744
01:11:03,803 --> 01:11:09,265
"The Ugly Duckling"
by Hans Christian Andersen.
745
01:11:11,082 --> 01:11:14,059
It's me
Hans Christian Andersen,
746
01:11:14,752 --> 01:11:17,587
on whom fortune smiled.
747
01:11:17,797 --> 01:11:21,565
And today I may be a duckling,
but tomorrow I will be a swan.
748
01:11:21,781 --> 01:11:24,233
I told a tale
and she turned to gold.
749
01:11:24,383 --> 01:11:26,955
It became golden,
whatever it should be.
750
01:11:27,126 --> 01:11:31,770
I'm laughing and embarrassed by this,
that I understand when I read her that shetoo
751
01:11:31,920 --> 01:11:35,942
read me:
"Hans Christian Andersen"!
752
01:11:36,151 --> 01:11:38,309
I am a swan!
753
01:11:38,528 --> 01:11:42,457
I write one note a day
and I keep it in my hat.
754
01:11:42,677 --> 01:11:46,891
But suddenly a wind blows,
the hat flies off, but that's not the end.
755
01:11:47,041 --> 01:11:50,866
She flies all over the world
and finally descends beside me.
756
01:11:51,083 --> 01:11:55,627
I take it and read the note,
which reminds me,
757
01:11:55,838 --> 01:11:59,965
that I am Hans Christian Andersen.
Andersen...
758
01:12:00,489 --> 01:12:02,633
Peter!
759
01:12:05,849 --> 01:12:08,519
It's me
Hans Christian Andersen,
760
01:12:08,727 --> 01:12:10,850
I have a story for you.
761
01:12:11,063 --> 01:12:13,433
Once upon a time there lived a table,
who said:
762
01:12:13,583 --> 01:12:15,940
"I don't like life
without a chair."
763
01:12:16,091 --> 01:12:19,520
And at that moment he appeared
a nice, young chair,
764
01:12:19,739 --> 01:12:22,657
wearing a wedding dress.
765
01:12:22,867 --> 01:12:26,034
And the table said in a low voice:
766
01:12:26,246 --> 01:12:30,676
"I didn't say I'd marry you,
I just wanted to sit.”
767
01:12:30,826 --> 01:12:35,241
I am Hans Christian Andersen,
the only one in town!
768
01:12:40,345 --> 01:12:44,181
"The Ugly Duckling"
by... Hans the Shoemaker!
769
01:12:44,391 --> 01:12:47,246
There's a writer in front of you, Peter.
A true writer.
770
01:12:47,396 --> 01:12:51,624
It will be in the newspapers all day tomorrow
the name Hans Christian Andersen!
771
01:12:51,774 --> 01:12:54,769
The newspaper had a need
from your story?
772
01:12:54,985 --> 01:12:57,465
They printed
one of your stories!
773
01:12:57,615 --> 01:13:02,054
And the way it happened is worthy
for a separate story. You will hear her.
774
01:13:02,204 --> 01:13:05,912
Peter, from today, if anyone asks you
who do you work for
775
01:13:06,083 --> 01:13:11,036
you might say, "With a writer."
You work for a real writer!
776
01:13:15,174 --> 01:13:18,009
"The Ugly Duckling"
by Hans the shoemaker.
777
01:13:18,219 --> 01:13:22,511
I can't believe it!
- Peter...
778
01:13:25,205 --> 01:13:29,604
Can you imagine…
our teacher's face?
779
01:13:29,775 --> 01:13:32,347
He gets newspapers
from Copenhagen.
780
01:13:32,547 --> 01:13:36,422
He opens it, starts looking through it
and suddenly...
781
01:13:36,988 --> 01:13:41,417
He can't believe his eyes!
Says: "Hans Christian Andersen?
782
01:13:41,567 --> 01:13:46,860
Hans the shoemaker?
A fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen?
783
01:13:48,042 --> 01:13:50,892
A wonderful tale."
Here, eat.
784
01:13:51,108 --> 01:13:56,152
You have something on your hand.
- It must be from the printing press.
785
01:13:58,157 --> 01:14:01,841
Peter... look.
786
01:14:02,057 --> 01:14:05,213
"The Royal Danish Ballet
returns from tour."
787
01:14:05,423 --> 01:14:07,958
Yes, Peter.
She's coming back!
788
01:14:08,129 --> 01:14:13,109
Peter, she's coming back!
What a day! All at once!
789
01:14:13,862 --> 01:14:16,821
Hans, we had a promise for today
let's mend some shoes.
790
01:14:16,971 --> 01:14:21,043
I will deal with them later.
I can't sit still.
791
01:14:21,193 --> 01:14:24,894
She's coming back, Peter!
I have to go out! She's coming back!
792
01:17:24,066 --> 01:17:28,423
Never before and never after...
- Never until now and never after
793
01:17:28,573 --> 01:17:31,217
two people
they didn't love each other so much...
794
01:17:31,367 --> 01:17:33,483
They didn't love each other that much...
795
01:17:33,702 --> 01:17:36,345
So many...
- Absolutely incredible.
796
01:17:36,495 --> 01:17:41,270
No one has ever loved each other
as much as my love and I.
797
01:17:41,481 --> 01:17:45,767
This is unique, we are
the most extraordinary couple on Earth.
798
01:17:45,917 --> 01:17:52,011
There is no pair on Earth,
which suits you better.
799
01:17:52,182 --> 01:17:55,924
He means us -
800
01:17:56,143 --> 01:17:59,060
my love and me.
801
01:17:59,271 --> 01:18:01,459
And when we kiss...
802
01:18:01,630 --> 01:18:05,567
What are these verses?
- Hysterical, historical.
803
01:18:05,738 --> 01:18:08,311
Let me say.
- Of course, dear.
804
01:18:08,461 --> 01:18:14,532
Never two people
they didn't love each other that much.
805
01:18:14,955 --> 01:18:18,490
That's impossible.
No one has ever loved so much,
806
01:18:18,709 --> 01:18:21,414
as much as my love and I.
807
01:18:21,628 --> 01:18:25,793
This is simply impossible
to imagine it.
808
01:18:26,008 --> 01:18:32,508
No one has ever loved so much
as much as my love and I.
809
01:18:36,895 --> 01:18:40,644
No one has ever loved so much,
810
01:18:40,857 --> 01:18:44,357
so much.
811
01:18:44,570 --> 01:18:48,021
No one has ever loved each other like this,
812
01:18:48,240 --> 01:18:52,025
as much as Mr. and Mrs. Andersen!
813
01:18:52,245 --> 01:18:55,829
Mrs Andersen.
- Mr. Andersen.
814
01:18:56,040 --> 01:19:00,119
Mrs Andersen.
- Mr. Andersen.
815
01:19:00,545 --> 01:19:03,416
Mr. Andersen?
816
01:19:03,632 --> 01:19:05,772
Mr. Andersen?
817
01:19:06,260 --> 01:19:10,552
Mr. Andersen?
818
01:19:11,182 --> 01:19:13,326
Mr. Andersen!
819
01:19:13,684 --> 01:19:17,061
How nice of you
to be here on our return.
820
01:19:17,211 --> 01:19:20,842
How did you know we were dating?
to stage your ballet?
821
01:19:21,422 --> 01:19:25,565
It doesn't matter. Yours truly
the reward will be the opportunity
822
01:19:25,715 --> 01:19:28,859
to see my dance tomorrow.
You will come, won't you?
823
01:19:31,099 --> 01:19:34,891
Maybe tomorrow you will find
words for me?
824
01:19:35,103 --> 01:19:37,352
Come on, Louisa.
825
01:19:42,987 --> 01:19:45,559
What would they say?
people in Odense?
826
01:19:45,761 --> 01:19:49,232
We want to go with you
at the Copenhagen Opera House.
827
01:19:49,452 --> 01:19:54,030
To watch my ballet.
Will they believe it? Never.
828
01:19:54,249 --> 01:19:57,321
They would say:
"Another cobbler's tale.
829
01:19:57,471 --> 01:19:59,836
How can children
to believe it?"
830
01:20:00,007 --> 01:20:03,865
Even I wouldn't dare
to invent such a tale.
831
01:20:04,015 --> 01:20:05,489
But it turned out to be true.
832
01:20:05,761 --> 01:20:10,287
Will it be a problem if I don't come with you?
- What?
833
01:20:14,604 --> 01:20:17,605
I said will it be a problem
if i don't come with you?
834
01:20:17,755 --> 01:20:23,739
No! it will be bad
if you don't come with me what's wrong with you
835
01:20:23,947 --> 01:20:26,574
There's something wrong with you.
836
01:20:26,784 --> 01:20:29,448
Get inside.
837
01:20:42,342 --> 01:20:46,387
What's up Peter?
Come on, say it.
838
01:20:48,974 --> 01:20:53,684
I've been trying all day
let me tell you something, Hans.
839
01:20:55,690 --> 01:20:59,770
OK, Peter, speak now.
840
01:20:59,986 --> 01:21:04,280
It's hard, Hans.
I don't know how to say it.
841
01:21:06,952 --> 01:21:10,662
don't worry
just say it.
842
01:21:12,062 --> 01:21:15,438
I tried to tell you once
but you didn't listen to me
843
01:21:15,588 --> 01:21:19,732
Then they left and I thought,
that you forgot about them.
844
01:21:19,924 --> 01:21:22,042
Theirs?
- I don't like people
845
01:21:22,252 --> 01:21:25,741
who make fun of you.
It hurts me when they make fun of you.
846
01:21:25,891 --> 01:21:30,106
In Odense, when you were mocked,
I wanted to kill them.
847
01:21:30,256 --> 01:21:33,886
Have they made fun of me?
What are you talking about Peter?
848
01:21:34,106 --> 01:21:37,641
For him and her.
You don't understand them.
849
01:21:38,715 --> 01:21:40,902
What don't I understand?
850
01:21:41,114 --> 01:21:45,283
You make up a fairy tale
as you usually do
851
01:21:45,494 --> 01:21:50,137
only this time it's for them and not
for the clocks, the flowers or the stars.
852
01:21:50,287 --> 01:21:55,808
She'll make fun of you, Hans!
- Here it is. That's what I thought.
853
01:21:56,672 --> 01:22:00,030
So he mocks me
when does my ballet dance?
854
01:22:00,201 --> 01:22:03,552
So she made fun of me
when you kiss me
855
01:22:04,329 --> 01:22:06,634
Did she kiss you?
- Yes.
856
01:22:07,434 --> 01:22:09,931
You didn't know that, did you?
857
01:22:11,230 --> 01:22:14,230
I don't care.
What I said is true.
858
01:22:14,380 --> 01:22:18,881
I'm sorry you said that, Peter.
You've never lied to me before.
859
01:22:19,031 --> 01:22:22,147
It is not mandatory
come with me today
860
01:22:23,263 --> 01:22:27,676
Maybe it will be better
to look for a job with someone else.
861
01:22:29,103 --> 01:22:33,103
You're big enough now
to take care of yourself and…
862
01:22:33,253 --> 01:22:36,834
i think it is better
to break up because...
863
01:22:38,822 --> 01:22:42,525
because i don't think
that we will be fine together.
864
01:23:36,968 --> 01:23:39,107
Excuse me.
865
01:23:39,323 --> 01:23:42,467
No one can enter
before the performance.
866
01:23:42,617 --> 01:23:45,308
I am
Hans Christian Andersen.
867
01:23:45,519 --> 01:23:49,647
The author of this ballet.
- Oh, good evening.
868
01:23:49,857 --> 01:23:53,285
Haven't you seen the poster?
in front of your own theater?
869
01:23:53,435 --> 01:23:58,029
Make it lower. up,
down again, turn it over. So.
870
01:23:58,241 --> 01:24:02,533
That's right.
Stay together.
871
01:24:02,745 --> 01:24:05,450
Turning...
872
01:24:05,665 --> 01:24:08,536
Okay. Much better.
Keep going.
873
01:24:09,273 --> 01:24:12,666
So. And now the conversion.
In this direction.
874
01:24:13,674 --> 01:24:15,862
who are you
Get out of here immediately.
875
01:24:16,012 --> 01:24:20,471
Do you wear shoes before the performance?
Leave them with the porter.
876
01:24:20,681 --> 01:24:23,954
Try the arabesque one more time.
- My name is Andersen.
877
01:24:24,104 --> 01:24:28,187
Hans Christian Andersen.
- Andersen? The author of the ballet?
878
01:24:28,398 --> 01:24:31,919
I would like to give this to Miss Doro
before the performance.
879
01:24:32,069 --> 01:24:34,519
Andersen please
go now
880
01:24:34,738 --> 01:24:37,810
Can you move
that shell back?
881
01:24:38,265 --> 01:24:40,836
Go see the ballet
from the hall.
882
01:24:40,986 --> 01:24:44,452
I'll give them to her.
- No! Don't touch them.
883
01:24:44,665 --> 01:24:48,272
You can't give them to her now.
It is prohibited before a performance.
884
01:24:48,422 --> 01:24:51,671
Will you show me where to put
this shell?
885
01:24:51,842 --> 01:24:55,962
I can't tear myself apart.
Just bring her on stage.
886
01:24:56,950 --> 01:25:01,455
Will you send Mr. Andersen
to the exit? Quiet but insistent.
887
01:25:01,642 --> 01:25:07,554
But I have these…
Please, I can do it myself.
888
01:25:25,334 --> 01:25:29,024
You again? don't you understand
that now is not his time
889
01:25:29,233 --> 01:25:32,903
to distract people?
- Miss Doro would disagree with you.
890
01:25:33,053 --> 01:25:36,594
Why are they sending me before the premier?
these authors? Why?
891
01:25:36,765 --> 01:25:40,844
The overture is in three minutes.
- In three minutes we start!
892
01:25:41,477 --> 01:25:44,160
Ladies, take your seats!
893
01:25:49,068 --> 01:25:52,437
Open the door!
Let me out of here!
894
01:26:27,276 --> 01:26:29,420
I see.
895
01:26:30,321 --> 01:26:35,441
I don't need eyes to see her.
I can see everything.
896
01:26:38,788 --> 01:26:42,342
This is the story of a mermaid,
who fell in love with a prince
897
01:26:42,492 --> 01:26:45,850
and turned for help
to a terrible sea witch,
898
01:26:46,054 --> 01:26:49,183
because she alone had a magic veil,
899
01:26:49,392 --> 01:26:52,762
who could convert
the mermaids in chorus.
900
01:41:39,424 --> 01:41:41,591
Enter.
901
01:41:41,970 --> 01:41:44,467
Good morning, madam.
- Good morning, Celine.
902
01:41:44,617 --> 01:41:48,828
I'm afraid it's not a very good day.
- And I think he's wonderful, Celine.
903
01:41:48,978 --> 01:41:53,907
And how good it is to be myself again
in the room. It's like years have passed.
904
01:41:54,057 --> 01:41:57,252
Finally.
And what a success you had yesterday!
905
01:41:57,464 --> 01:42:01,320
I can't ever remember the audience
she was so overexcited.
906
01:42:01,470 --> 01:42:04,614
It's because of the new ballet.
They were fascinated by him.
907
01:42:04,764 --> 01:42:08,554
And he is really charming.
I love to dance it.
908
01:42:08,768 --> 01:42:13,084
And he is also very strange.
He's always hiding somewhere.
909
01:42:13,294 --> 01:42:17,586
Who, ma'am?
- Hans, the shoemaker. You know it.
910
01:42:17,798 --> 01:42:22,760
Was he even there? i imagine
that he was and worried...
911
01:42:22,931 --> 01:42:26,298
God!
- I thought you were still sleeping.
912
01:42:26,516 --> 01:42:31,184
The cobbler is locked in the prop room.
- What are you talking about?
913
01:42:31,396 --> 01:42:35,441
I closed it there before the start.
It was necessary.
914
01:42:35,651 --> 01:42:40,529
He insisted on giving you slippers
five minutes before the start of the ballet.
915
01:42:40,700 --> 01:42:43,491
And he hasn't seen the ballet?
Did you keep him locked up there?
916
01:42:43,641 --> 01:42:46,999
I'm telling you I forgot.
- You are a real fool!
917
01:42:47,149 --> 01:42:49,705
I had more important work then.
918
01:42:49,916 --> 01:42:53,914
Quick, Celine.
Go to the theater and bring him here.
919
01:42:54,129 --> 01:42:56,586
Yes ma'am.
- The poor guy!
920
01:42:56,882 --> 01:43:00,614
And you, monster
you better not leave here.
921
01:43:00,824 --> 01:43:05,253
Just try to put your head down
and you will understand what is what.
922
01:43:05,403 --> 01:43:08,735
You will eat the lamp
I promise you.
923
01:43:13,796 --> 01:43:17,397
Oh, Hans.
I'll call you Hans.
924
01:43:17,607 --> 01:43:21,607
How terrible it is that
it happened to you. are you ok
925
01:43:21,757 --> 01:43:25,577
Only he can think of it
such an idea. Come on.
926
01:43:25,788 --> 01:43:31,042
Sit down. Would you like a cup of chocolate?
- No thanks.
927
01:43:31,252 --> 01:43:34,978
You never saw the ballet.
We'll do it again in two days
928
01:43:35,194 --> 01:43:37,299
and then you will see it.
929
01:43:37,470 --> 01:43:39,875
But I saw it.
- Is that so?
930
01:43:40,080 --> 01:43:42,366
Yes.
- How? I thought you were...
931
01:43:42,517 --> 01:43:47,810
I was, but I could hear the music.
The music suggested the plot to me.
932
01:43:47,980 --> 01:43:51,338
I didn't need to see with my eyes
how do you dance
933
01:43:51,488 --> 01:43:56,897
Oh Hans, you are so kind,
and how I love to dance this.
934
01:43:57,114 --> 01:43:59,949
I don't even know why.
It's so weird.
935
01:44:00,159 --> 01:44:04,620
While we were rehearsing,
I felt some sadness and tenderness.
936
01:44:04,791 --> 01:44:08,286
I don't know why
- I know.
937
01:44:08,501 --> 01:44:11,047
Is that so?
Tell me.
938
01:44:11,775 --> 01:44:15,347
I think that was your answer.
- My answer?
939
01:44:15,662 --> 01:44:19,751
In this tale I allowed
of his heart to talk with you
940
01:44:20,188 --> 01:44:23,470
and yesterday your heart
answered.
941
01:44:24,393 --> 01:44:30,481
Hans, tell me something. How did you come up with it
write a story for me?
942
01:44:31,025 --> 01:44:36,279
And how to express my feelings when
I understand how unhappy you are with him?
943
01:44:36,450 --> 01:44:38,904
Unhappy?
With your husband?
944
01:44:39,117 --> 01:44:44,118
Yes. I don't think you knew it was me
there, but I saw how he treated you.
945
01:44:44,268 --> 01:44:46,767
I saw him hit you.
946
01:44:47,063 --> 01:44:49,331
I heard you cry.
947
01:44:51,297 --> 01:44:53,420
Oh Hans...
948
01:44:54,530 --> 01:44:59,512
How can a cobbler talk to you?
- I brought something, dear. Here it is.
949
01:44:59,683 --> 01:45:01,930
Good morning, Andersen.
A gift, angel.
950
01:45:02,080 --> 01:45:05,452
I apologize for what happened last night.
You must forgive me.
951
01:45:05,602 --> 01:45:09,031
Yesterday I thought only of your ballet,
but not for you.
952
01:45:09,181 --> 01:45:14,735
Did you tell him how successful you were?
last night? For the great ballerina.
953
01:45:16,699 --> 01:45:20,414
Open it. All next year
we will starve
954
01:45:20,623 --> 01:45:22,828
but i had to buy it for you.
955
01:45:23,000 --> 01:45:26,996
The reverse is the best.
Turn it over and read.
956
01:45:27,211 --> 01:45:30,439
Read it out loud.
I am not a poet like you, Andersen,
957
01:45:30,589 --> 01:45:35,447
but at least once in his life and a fool
like me he can talk about love.
958
01:45:35,597 --> 01:45:38,633
Are you happy, dear?
Read it for me.
959
01:45:38,848 --> 01:45:41,096
Not now, Nils.
Later.
960
01:45:41,309 --> 01:45:45,812
Don't be embarrassed? No problems.
You can do whatever you want.
961
01:45:45,983 --> 01:45:49,795
She dances like an angel. I can
to kiss you from head to toe.
962
01:45:49,945 --> 01:45:52,946
Please don't, Nils.
- Haven't you forgiven me yet?
963
01:45:53,096 --> 01:45:55,510
I'm sure
that Andersen has forgiven me.
964
01:45:55,660 --> 01:45:59,764
He got angry when he found out I was you
locked, but nothing bad happened.
965
01:45:59,914 --> 01:46:03,644
It's even kind of fun.
Don't look so harsh, honey.
966
01:46:03,794 --> 01:46:06,008
And you yourself
you were funny
967
01:46:06,211 --> 01:46:10,568
Don't tell me I didn't hear your laugh -
i heard it. Even under the blanket.
968
01:46:10,718 --> 01:46:14,299
Calm down.
- What's wrong with you, Doro?
969
01:46:14,720 --> 01:46:19,348
Hans, it doesn't matter why you wrote
this story about me.
970
01:46:19,519 --> 01:46:23,733
This is a wonderful tale,
no matter how it is written.
971
01:46:23,904 --> 01:46:26,820
By itself
is a kind and tender tale,
972
01:46:27,031 --> 01:46:32,224
but i will remember everything you told me
every time i dance it.
973
01:46:32,531 --> 01:46:35,674
We haven't paid you for it yet.
- Nils, shut up.
974
01:46:35,845 --> 01:46:39,908
But honey, we want to pay him, don't we?
We would like you to write something else.
975
01:46:40,058 --> 01:46:45,575
Do you have any other stories?
- No. This one appeared quite by accident.
976
01:46:45,795 --> 01:46:48,500
I don't think
that I will write something else.
977
01:46:49,445 --> 01:46:52,802
I think it will be better
let me give you this right now.
978
01:46:52,952 --> 01:46:55,097
Slippers from the cobbler.
979
01:46:55,305 --> 01:46:57,547
Thanks, Hans.
980
01:46:57,975 --> 01:47:01,315
But Andersen, I...
- Nils, let him go.
981
01:47:01,465 --> 01:47:03,871
Goodbye, Hans.
982
01:47:12,032 --> 01:47:14,176
Doro...
983
01:47:14,388 --> 01:47:17,488
Doro, what's up baby?
984
01:47:20,200 --> 01:47:23,328
ODENSE
985
01:47:23,538 --> 01:47:27,500
COPENHAGEN
986
01:47:56,475 --> 01:47:58,656
Peter!
987
01:47:59,812 --> 01:48:03,124
Peter!
Peter!
988
01:48:03,545 --> 01:48:05,663
Peter!
989
01:48:17,873 --> 01:48:20,122
Hi Peter.
990
01:48:24,651 --> 01:48:27,851
do you mind
should I go with you?
991
01:48:30,283 --> 01:48:32,992
I can't do anything.
992
01:48:33,267 --> 01:48:38,727
Looks like we both are
in one direction, and there is only one way.
993
01:48:41,962 --> 01:48:44,974
Are you going back to the village?
994
01:48:48,698 --> 01:48:51,793
I'm going there too.
995
01:48:53,328 --> 01:48:56,975
I'll just work now.
And you know what, Peter?
996
01:48:57,958 --> 01:49:02,274
I will tell no more tales.
Even to yourself.
997
01:49:02,484 --> 01:49:05,199
I told my last one
fairy tale, peter.
998
01:49:05,349 --> 01:49:09,867
I specifically imposed myself:
"Let the cobbler mind his own business."
999
01:49:10,075 --> 01:49:14,647
If anyone has learned their lesson,
and has learned it well, then that is me.
1000
01:49:15,018 --> 01:49:17,824
I think you will continue
to make up stories.
1001
01:49:17,974 --> 01:49:20,063
No, there isn't.
- Oh, you will continue.
1002
01:49:20,234 --> 01:49:22,503
No, there isn't.
Why do you keep repeating it?
1003
01:49:22,987 --> 01:49:26,130
Why? Because you are
Hans Christian Andersen.
1004
01:49:27,135 --> 01:49:29,482
That's why.
1005
01:49:31,849 --> 01:49:33,993
Peter!
1006
01:49:36,166 --> 01:49:39,605
You will tell stories.
You will write fairy tales.
1007
01:49:39,776 --> 01:49:42,146
You will even sing fairy tales.
1008
01:49:42,360 --> 01:49:45,610
Again and again and again.
1009
01:49:49,597 --> 01:49:55,769
I'm not an ugly duckling anymore
and my feathers no longer stick out.
1010
01:49:55,979 --> 01:49:59,337
And all the other birds,
in a different voice he sang:
1011
01:49:59,487 --> 01:50:01,985
"The best in town!"
1012
01:50:02,194 --> 01:50:05,126
The best!
The best..."
1013
01:50:05,343 --> 01:50:09,415
Do you remember your trip?
to Copenhagen? Tell us about him.
1014
01:50:09,565 --> 01:50:14,158
The Wonderful,
the wonderful Copenhagen,
1015
01:50:14,374 --> 01:50:17,873
the good old friend.
1016
01:50:18,086 --> 01:50:22,742
By the light of his pubs,
in this merry night,
1017
01:50:22,952 --> 01:50:26,928
we'll knock
and we will drink to the bottom
1018
01:50:27,137 --> 01:50:31,012
for the wonderful,
wonderful Copenhagen...
1019
01:50:31,329 --> 01:50:35,483
Tell us about the king!
- Yes, for the king!
1020
01:50:35,688 --> 01:50:39,473
The King is quite literal
and completely perfect,
1021
01:50:39,693 --> 01:50:42,735
absolutely naked,
as a mother bore him.
1022
01:50:42,906 --> 01:50:45,907
The King quite literally
and completely perfect,
1023
01:50:46,057 --> 01:50:48,785
He's wearing absolutely nothing.
1024
01:50:48,994 --> 01:50:52,352
Summon the court physician,
take a break...
1025
01:50:52,502 --> 01:50:54,828
Hans!
My favorite, huh?
1026
01:50:55,397 --> 01:50:57,501
Thumbelina!
1027
01:50:59,672 --> 01:51:02,601
Even though you're not
bigger than my finger...
1028
01:51:02,751 --> 01:51:07,380
From my finger.
- From my finger.
1029
01:51:07,598 --> 01:51:10,682
Dear Thumbelina, don't be sad.
- Don't be sad
1030
01:51:10,853 --> 01:51:13,638
No, no, no.
- Ah, ah, ah, come to us.
1031
01:51:13,854 --> 01:51:17,983
All together!
A little finger, as small as a crumb.
1032
01:51:18,192 --> 01:51:21,644
Little finger, dance.
Thumb, sing.
1033
01:51:21,863 --> 01:51:26,149
Oh Thumb, who cares
at work that you are so small?
1034
01:51:26,299 --> 01:51:32,799
If your heart is full of love,
you will grow in the eyes of men!
1035
01:51:33,709 --> 01:51:36,689
Hans Christian Andersen!
1036
01:51:36,942 --> 01:51:42,197
