Nazar!

Nazar!

Nazar!

What is it, Uncle Viktor?

Nazar!

Why are you calling me? What do you want?

Dad!

Nazar!

How you've grown!

- When did you get here? - Today's bus.

- Where are your bags? - At home.

You promised to stay until winter,

and we'd go to the carnival.

I promised, Nazar, but not this winter.

I'm only here for two weeks.

- Is this your mask? - No, it's Uncle Viktor's.

Here's my mask.

- Beautiful. - Yes.

Everyone gets the same, except Uncle Viktor.

Nazar, listen... Nazar!

Go get Mom from work. Off you go!

Don't tell her I'm here, okay?

- Isn't he handsome? - Nazar made them himself.

He even invented the shape.

- What's that? - That's nothing.

Are you smuggling?

More or less... You didn't want to take me with you.

You were still a brat. Mom would have killed me.

- Is this the best job you could find? - No, I couldn't.

Come with me to Poland, it pays well.

No.

I have a booty call here.

- And I'm not killing myself at work. - You're not?

I earn what I need to...

Leonid, stop it.

I do this once a month, that's enough for me.

Contraband, it's our popular tradition.

I see.

Listen to this...

What?

What do you want?

You want me to knock your teeth out?

The chaos of the 90s is long gone.

So find yourself some colleagues colleagues. Think with your head.

Don't let Mom to get you out of jail.

Let go of me.

I'm not going to jail.

If you get caught, you risk a fine of 1,000 hryvnias at the most.

You want to give me life lessons?

What's the matter with you?

Dirty money doesn't make you smarter.

I've stopped, I promised Olena.

If you'd kept going, your house would have been finished a long time ago.

Leonid...

Come on, Leonid!

Wait, is Dad coming?

- I'm going out. - Oh no, it's Mom.

Mommy!

Come here!

What's the matter?

Viktor?

Go for it!

Boys!

Stop it!

Stop it!

Leonid! Leonid!

You're back.

Nazar!

Come here.

Grandpa, do you know who rev... ?

- See you tomorrow. - God bless.

Do you know who invented light?

God.

In the light bulb?

In the light bulb is Lenin.

I only have one eye, but I can see that your father's home.

Here, this is for you.

From the rabbit.

Grandpa, stop it.

Which rabbit?

I'm not a child anymore.

Hey, Dad. Shall we watch TV?

No, it's late.

- I don't feel like sleeping. - Give this to Mommy.

- Olena! - Yes?

Don't forget to give the papers to the pastor tomorrow.

I'm going to dig him a well, I need a work permit.

The pastor promised to do it within two or three weeks.

- Nazar, go to bed. - I've started watching.

- Take this to the kitchen. - But I just turned it on.

Nazar!

Good night.

Smugglers used an airplane to smuggle cigarettes into Romania...

- Leonid... - What?

Wait.

Wait...

Wait...

Slowly, slowly...

Slowly, slowly...

I'll stay a little longer.

Nazar has grown so much.

We have to take care of him.

He doesn't have a model.

If he had an older brother,

he'd obey me a little more.

We said we wouldn't talk about it anymore.

He needs an iron fist.

I can't do it.

A little more patience.

I've been hearing that for nine years.

And we still haven't paid off the house.

Leonid.

I want you to stay here, forever.

Don't go back.

And work here for peanuts?

Repeat that.

And work here for peanuts?

Again.

Why is this happening?

You have such a beautiful voice.

Leonid...

They're going to transfer me to another workshop this winter.

I'll have a good salary.

I'll often have to work at night.

Never mind, we'll manage.

Leonid...

I don't want Nazar to stop talking to you when he grows up.

Your money won't make you you a better dad.

Leonid...

Remainder.

Leonid...

Remainder.

Don't go back.

Leonid...

Don't go away again.

Nazar, what grade are the twins?

First.

Which class?

First class.

In second?

In first gear!

Stand over there and take a good look.

You walk like this.

The rods must converge.

See? They're converging. They're converging.

You keep going...

There's water around here.

- They're converging, see? - They are.

Here, try.

- Nazar! - What's wrong?

I'm borrowing your bike.

No problem.

Go ahead.

I can't do it.

Nazar, relax your arms.

Is that for me?

I knew Dad would bring me a bike.

Leave it to me!

Catch me!

You don't even know where the brakes are!

- I know everything! - No, you don't!

(Religious program on the power of God)

What a beauty.

Did you take your medicine? The doctor insisted.

I can't drink on an empty stomach. It hurts.

Eat a little.

No, not before communion.

What if your blood pressure goes up?

It won't.

My son poked my eye out, you'll have to pull out the other.

Stop this nonsense.

What did you promise the priest?

To forgive.

You or our son?

It's been a long time since I forgave you, you wanted to protect him from crime.

But my son tried to kill me.

Twins, shoot.

Shoot.

- Find anything, Dad? - Not much.

- Hi, Dad. - Hi, Dad.

Pour.

Give me the bag.

Nazar, pour.

Go ahead.

On my hands.

- Good. - What's next?

No.

Watch your hands.

- They're dirty. - They're dirty.

It's okay, it's okay...

Nazar!

Where did your mother tell you to go today?

I'm not disturbing you, am I?

Nazar, I won't say it again.

Scram!

All right...

Do you have anything sweet?

No.

That policeman, Boboul, he's a big badger.

He confiscated the parcel that Mom sent from Italy.

You mean he stole it.

You can't do anything to Boboul.

Why not?

He's covered by Mr. Orestes.

We took a shit on his car.

Be precise: on the hood and on the roof!

You're a hell of a vigilante.

Well, that's all for today.

- Glory to God! - Glory to God!

Pastor,

can I talk to you for a minute?

I've brought you my husband's papers.

Okay, I remember.

- I'd better go. - Okay, thanks.

Olena, we're late.

Coming. Nazar, where have you been?

You're making me late for work.

Nazar, don't embarrass me.

Pastor,

Nazar will come and sing with the choir.

Rehearsal's over for today. But we have to tidy up.

- Dad's waiting for me. - Nazar will help.

You want me to tell Dad that you don't obey me?

Behave yourself.

Nazar, you have a powerful voice.

You can sing praises to God.

How long have you you been coming to church?

Your father never comes.

Even when he comes back from abroad.

He is angry with God.

He needs time to understand.

God puts each of us to the test.

Tell your dad to come to church, with you and your mom.

I'll tidy up the pews, okay?

Yes.

Nazar, bring me the documents and the score.

I'm closing up here, you'll go out the central door.

Nazar!

Nazar!

Nazar...

The firemen said that the radiator had been left on.

Do you think it's Nazar?

It was just the two of us after the rehearsal.

It had to be him.

Who knows about this?

No one knows.

Please don't tell Olena.

Please don't tell anyone.

All right, I won't.

This place is rented, we have to rebuild it fast.

I'll talk to Nazar. If it's him,

I'll pay it all back.

- I'm fine. - Thank you for your time.

Nazar!

Did you start the fire?

Nazar, did you start the fire?

Don't tell Mom, she'll kill me.

I promise.

Only the pastor, you and I who know about this.

No one else knows.

Is that you?

Dad, don't hit me.

Have I ever hit you?

- No, you haven't. - And I'm not going to start.

Why did you do that?

I wanted you to stay until the carnival.

I didn't think the fire the fire would catch so quickly.

You're grounded. From now on, no more biking.

Mom will ask why I'm being punished. What do we tell her?

You obey Mom without question.

You go to choir, and never miss a rehearsal.

I can't hear you.

I can't hear you.

That's a promise.

- Good night. - Good night.

What happened?

After the rehearsal...

- The cellar... - The cellar caught fire.

- When... - When the church was empty.

But the most important thing is that everyone is alive.

Only my papers that burned.

Thank God for that.

What do you mean, they burned?

Then it's God's will.

- Leonid, are you coming to bed? - I'll smoke and be right up.

I'll be waiting for you.

Hello, Le Rat.

Hi, it's Pamfir.

I need a hand...

I need some contraband, for 600 euros.

Understood.

Right... Okay.

Thank you.

What are you reading?

Nothing special...

Side effects... of a kick in the ass.

There's no such thing...

Grandpa says you read word for word at school.

Did you really?

Just listen.

(In Russian) "This steroid... acts... on...

"This... steroid...

"is administered... by...

"oral route...

"Steroid... acts... for... about... 15 hours."

I can't do it, I don't speak Russian.

"Side effects: teeth grinding, frequent erections,

"initial stimulation of sexual desire,

"after repeated use, risk of impotence

"uncontrollable."

Say, Dad.

What does "impotence" mean?

The reading is over.

Off to bed.

Say?

Could we sell the bike?

We don't have to.

I'll think of something.

- Hi, Mom. - Hi, Mom.

What's up?

I need your help.

What's the matter?

I need money, and a new work permit.

My papers burned yesterday.

I see, but we're barely making to make ends meet.

Without your father's odd jobs, we wouldn't be able to get by.

Fix me up a corridor.

You said you wouldn't do it anymore.

Just this once.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have enough.

Does your wife know?

Olena can't know.

She hates contraband.

A sin for some, a livelihood for others.

We're not getting any younger...

Will you come and see your father?

Do you also want me to go to church with him, kissing icons?

And catch a virus?

For not helping my wife when she needed it?

Could you give her back her eye? It can't last forever.

Will you at least talk to her?

Well, I'll give it a try with Viktor, maybe we'll get lucky.

I'll write to you when I've fixed the corridor.

Protect Viktor.

Thank you, Viktor.

- Good morning, Mrs. Maria. - Good afternoon.

Wait...

- Here, cake. - Thank you for this.

I'll get it, we're swamped.

- Hello. - Good morning to you.

Here, let me help you.

- Did you call your mother? - Yes, I did.

Didn't you quit smoking?

The guys made a big catch last night...

You'll see.

Get out... Come on, come on!

I don't have that amount right now, but I'll have it in a week or two.

Tomorrow we're going to do some work so we can have mass.

I'll bring my boys.

- We were about to start digging. - I'm going to bury you.

- When was the last time you were spanked? - A long time ago.

Since Dad died.

- We're not digging today. - When are we coming?

Viktor will call tomorrow, I'll take you to help me at the church.

Go home.

Hello, Le Rat.

I need you to get me some Turanabol.

Make it three.

Yes, I'll be there. Yes, I'll be there. Thank you.

Viktor, let's go.

Will you help me carry some merchandise?

Is the champion back?

Watch out, so Mom doesn't have to bail you out.

I mean it. Will you help me?

Yes. What is it?

I need some money to redo my papers.

- Does Olena know? - No one must know.

- It's just this once. - Just this once?

Yes. I've arranged a corridor.

And with your conscience, did you arrange it?

Don't give me lessons.

I need three or four strong guys.

The twins will do.

Are you retarded? They're my godchildren.

Dad would be happy to hear you say that...

Buy what's on the list, see you in three hours at the store.

Fill the wagon with hay.

Where are you going?

To look for dopants.

See you tomorrow!

From Mr. Orestes. Give me three.

- Pamfir? - Yes.

- Did Le Rat send you? - Yes, he did.

Three boxes?

Come on.

The Rat must not have understood me.

I need three tablets, not three boxes.

Are you insane? We came here for three tablets?

He probably just wants to fuck.

Viagra's expensive, isn't it?

Give me three tablets for the price of a box.

Give him three tablets.

Here.

Thank you for this.

- Who's selling us the merchandise? - What's the difference?

Is it The Rat?

- Why do you want to know? - I'm looking for new colleagues.

People I can get along with.

- Hi, Rat. - Hi, there.

Is it true then? You're doing it again?

No, just this once.

All right.

If it's just this once, it's fine.

But don't ask for more.

This is Mr. Orestes' territory, I don't want any trouble.

- Agreed? - I'm in.

Here you go.

Where do we deliver?

As before. To the Romanian Cross.

To the Romanian Cross.

I'll give you the best masks.

- Really? - Yes.

The boys.

- Great job. - Thank you.

Wow!

Get your asses out of here, you'll end up next.

We'll never finish at this rate.

Nazar, run!

Uncle Viktor, where's the can of red paint?

Look in my room, under the bed or on the stove.

Take a look.

You measure to your height, it should be a head taller.

Cut here.

- Got a nail? - Yes, I've got a nail.

You nail here.

- When do we go? - In a week, in a month...

As soon as we get a corridor.

- Did you find some strong guys? - Yes, I have.

Look, like this.

What is it?

It's for Viktor's costume.

I couldn't find the painting, just this.

Here it is. Here it is.

Cool. You've been lying to me?

You get lied to in church, Nazar.

In every church.

They program your guilt,

for the mistakes you've made or will make.

It's like a computer program, to control people better.

You were born a pain in the ass, or did you grow out of it?

Did he insult me?

- Duel. - I accept.

I will defend you.

Whoever shoots this thing wins.

If I win, you give me the Rat's number.

- Deal? - I'm in.

If I win, I don't go to rehearsals anymore.

If I win, you go to rehearsals, you go to the concert,

and you come with me to work abroad.

- Leonid! - How about it?

All right, Leonid.

Good.

Hey, we only fire one gun!

Missed.

Missed again.

What are you doing?

Aim higher.

- You won't cut the repeats. - You'll see.

Missed.

No more.

Give me that.

Watch and learn.

Shit, the wick is wet.

That's not fair, Leonid.

I'm not the one who said: "only one gun".

Look at this.

You're going to work with me abroad.

Have a good laugh.

You'll have to do the concert.

And again!

Leonid, I'm scared.

Maybe we can go that way?

Should we turn around?

We're the ones who scare them.

Nazar, we have to protect Mom.

As Grandpa used to say: "A valiant heart..."?

- "Nothing's impossible". - Voilà.

Leonid, we'll go this way.

My dear brothers and sisters.

I'm glad we're together, with our families.

I thank God for giving me a husband and son here.

Life often tests us.

But we must all remember :

God never tests us beyond what we can bear.

Praise be to the ways of the Lord.

We give thanks to God for his mercy.

- Amen. - Amen!

- Glory to God. - Glory to God!

Thank you, Sister Olena.

God bless you all!

And now...

A song by our young talent.

Praised be Your name, Lord!

He will appear soon

In His glory and beauty...

Sing Alleluia...

- Why isn't he singing? - Wait, he will.

Hang on, hang on.

You will be despised, hated and hunted.

You will be slandered.

Rejoice if it is because of Me.

Sing Hallelujah...

Nazar promised to go to the concert and rehearsals.

But he didn't say he'd sing.

He kept his promise,

the rascal.

MOM: Leonid, the corridor will be open all day

MAMAN: At the World War II World War II

(Pastor preaches on the Parable of the Talents)

- Is that all? - The others couldn't make it.

That's it.

Instructions.

Jump.

Take it off.

What have you got there?

My keys.

Damn!

You two want a beating?

Why do you want a beating?

Viktor, tell me. Are you retarded?

Stop barking.

They're strong.

Don't people respect you? Can't you get any older?

What day is it?

I'm asking you!

- Sunday! - Did you hear that?

Everyone's in church.

Only the old and the sick who don't do contraband here.

Godfather!

Stop calling me that.

Mr. Leonid, we need money, we're graduating this year.

Mom's abroad.

It's been hard for her since Dad died.

Leonid... It's just this once.

If we get caught, it's you and me who'll get it, not them.

We'll take it out on ourselves, that's all.

Just shut up.

You're the one who'll be taking it on yourself, brat.

Guys, listen to me and do what I say.

In 12 years, I haven't had a single fatality or injured on my sites.

Why not?

Safety first.

Take this.

Open your mouth.

I can do it myself.

What's this?

Doping. Your tongue.

Is it dangerous?

It helps to run. Your tongue.

Tonight, you'll have a hard-on.

Got it? Give it to me.

- Load. - OK.

Come on.

Give me a bag.

Go ahead, load it up.

That's it. That's it.

Your hands.

Going down!

Vassyl, do you copy?

It's not our guys.

Can you see them?

To you.

Copy, I see them.

Vassyl,

we must inform Mr. Orestes.

I'll inform Mr. Orestes...

personally.

Copy that, Vassyl.

Hello, Le Rat. We've arrived.

Er... Yes, I see.

Found it.

Thank you for your help.

- Are we in Romania yet? - Yes, we are.

We're in the European Union.

First time abroad in my life.

Can you feel the difference?

Twins, let's go!

Our messenger is with them, see?

He's arrogant.

No, the courier is not arrogant.

It's his brother Pamfir who's arrogant.

- Which one is he? - Pamfir, the strong one.

Pamfir?

Who is this Pamfir?

Do you know who Pamfir is?

Do you know who Pamfir is?

Vassyl, tell us!

How many times have I told you to call him "Dad"?

Pamfir...

He's a madman from our village.

He digs wells.

- Do you know how to dig a well? - No, I don't.

He fiddled a lot in his youth.

I mean, he used to go on a treasure hunt in Romania.

Hear that? A treasure hunt!

He loved a fight.

Once he even hit his father, gouged out an eye.

At the carnival, he beat everyone in wrestling.

- Everyone? - Yes, he did.

- Even Grandpa? - No, I don't think so!

He didn't beat Grandpa.

You don't know him.

He was abroad when you arrived in the village.

Why is he called Pamfir?

In the late 90s, he was dealing for himself.

Someone ratted him out,

and the customs got him.

He stashed the cigarettes... or rather the Rat's "treasures" at home.

They showed up at his place, but found nothing.

The customs officers were furious that they had to release him.

But before that, they knocked out his front teeth.

From then on, people called him Pamfir,

after his toothless Romanian grandfather, who made stoves.

Grandfather, what happened to his treasures?

- I don't know what happened. - His treasures...

They say his wife hid them.

After that, he stopped treasure hunting,

and went to work abroad.

How do you know all this?

We were friends at school.

Now he's off to hunt grandpa's treasures!

- Shall we punish Pamfir? - Yes, let's punish him.

Are you retarded?

- Pamfir! - Vassyl.

I didn't do it on purpose.

- Are you blind? - I was on my phone, sorry.

We'll help you wash up. Take his bike.

Put the bike in the trunk.

Opens the trunk.

- Don't touch me. - Step back.

I'm sorry, really. Let's get you cleaned up, get in.

You're all going to clean me up, aren't you?

Yes, Pamfir.

Do I know you?

No.

- Shall I sit here? - Yes, you may.

Perfect.

Have a seat.

Let's get you cleaned up.

Thank you for this.

All aboard, Pamfir.

Guys, get the carriage moving!

Come on, let's go home!

Like at the carnival winner's parade.

We always won when you were the one fighting.

Now you don't have to fight.

You don't?

My grandfather often told me a story...

A sheep goes to its shepherd and says to him:

"You should run away.

"Other shepherds will come kill you tonight."

The shepherd replies: "I won't run away. Let them kill me.

"I just want to be buried near my flock."

"Don't let anyone know that I've been killed."

Watch out!

"Tell my mother I got married.

"And tell the people that I married with the mountains."

Vassyl,

why did you bring me here?

Someone wants to talk to you.

Talk, yes... We have to talk.

You have to talk.

Who's that?

Who wants to talk to me?

Who wants to talk to me?

Who?

No...

You?

- It's you! - Yes, Pamfir.

Did you want to talk to me?

You guys!

You wanted to talk to me?

Who,

you sons of bitches?

Who?

Who is it?

To your health, Mr. Orestes.

Don't touch the courier.

Do what you want with the twins.

I'll do it.

Happy birthday, Mr. Orestes.

Happy birthday.

I'll get you all...

I'll kill you all...

I'll fucking find you...

Bring him to me.

I'll kill you all.

Shut him up.

If I ever catch you tampering again...

I'll bury you alive.

I drink to your health.

He's not invited to the party.

Step outside.

Why are you doing this?

The Rat... You've disappointed Mr. Orestes.

Boboul...

Give me a cigarette.

Do you remember who helped Pamfir?

No.

No problem.

It'll come back to you.

Come on...

Here we go.

Where to?

Crime scene reconstruction.

Little shits.

Do we think we're smugglers?

I'll teach you to piss off.

Pick that shit up.

What for?

Pick it up.

No, please...

Pick that shit up!

Please stop.

What's up?

Now eat it.

Boboul, leave them.

Let them eat shit.

They've already eaten their shit.

Their father was a prisoner of war, pro-Russian separatists killed him.

- I'll teach them, then. - I'm telling you to leave them.

You say?

I'm not.

Mr. Orestes.

As he wishes.

If they catch you tampering again,

they'll bury you alive.

Give this back to Pamfir.

Spit that in the jar.

Listen to this...

I've been thinking.

Why don't we leave?

We could work abroad with your brother.

It's not that simple.

I don't have enough to pay for the abortion.

Otherwise, wear something heavy.

- How do you know it works? - My brother told me.

His wife Olena transported a load of contraband,

and lost their first child.

Did she do it on purpose?

No. Nobody could help her.

I wasn't in the village, I was at my aunt's in Chernivtsi.

My mother had asked my father not to help Olena. He obeyed.

My brother was beside himself.

Hide yourself.

Mom, is that you?

What's going on?

Nothing's happening.

Aïe aïe aïe... Who do we have down there?

- Put your mask back on. - Why?

Because I say so.

Search for possession contraband products.

- Passport number? - I've forgotten it.

Go get your passport.

And keep your mask on.

What a bitch...

It's no use.

I couldn't find anything illegal.

That's a nice suit you have.

- I'll take your picture. - I'll take your picture.

Stand in the light.

Take a step back.

Turn on yourself.

Damn!

Mommy! Mommy!

Mommy! Mommy!

... our chief forester, the beloved Mr. Orestes,

celebrated his birthday, surrounded by family and friends.

A wonderful husband, a loving father, a devoted grandfather.

Everyone congratulates you.

Our dear friend, be well, live a hundred years.

May life fill you with blessings.

May the laughter of your grandchildren fill you with joy.

You are our pillar.

(Birthday song)

Is that you?

Do you know what time it is?

Mommy's mad at you.

Someone stole your bike.

Leonid, get up!

I'm going to be late for work!

Up and at 'em!

What's up?

The cow is about to give birth.

- Leonid. - What?

What's happened to you?

Nothing happened to me.

Leonid.

Nazar's bike was stolen.

Come on.

It'll be fine, I'll just go back to work abroad and pay it all back.

Leonid...

Humility is strength.

Humility?

My grandfather Pamfir had painted an icon for the church.

The priest destroyed it.

And he said, "She has no humility."

After that, he started making stoves,

and never set foot in church again.

His last wish was that the parish priest not attend the funeral.

My grandfather was very pious all his life.

He was an honest man.

Maybe you have to live with God as with one's parents.

Until a certain age, then become independent.

God fills the holes we've left unanswered.

Don't say that.

You can see the hooves.

It's almost ready.

With God's help.

Where was God when we needed Him?

I knew you'd ask that one day.

God was with me when I lost our child.

He was with me.

I had to carry your cargo alone. They wouldn't let you help me.

So I said to God:

If I have to lose our child for you to stop being a thug,

then I accept.

God listened to me.

God helps me turn my pain into fuel.

Leonid...

You promised.

I'm not stupid.

Have you started smuggling again?

I betrayed my promise. Please forgive me.

- Why are you doing this? - We need money.

I have to go back to work abroad.

Here, I'll never earn enough to to pay for the house and the kid's education.

Nazar will finish school soon, we have to send him to university.

I don't want him him to be ignorant like me.

Leonid...

I have no grandfather, no mother, no father, no one.

I have only you and Nazar.

I beg of you.

Stop the smuggling.

I'll follow you anywhere.

I'll work abroad with you.

We'll leave Nazar with your parents.

It was just once. It really was.

All right, let's... Let's go abroad together.

But first, I must keep my promise to Nazar.

Go to the carnival with him.

It's a pagan festival.

I promised her... If I stayed for the winter.

Dad,

the pastor tried to call you five times.

Was he born?

Not yet, she needs a little more darkness.

Good evening.

You no longer owe anything to the church, but to Mr. Orestes.

He's the one we rent the place to.

I'm sorry, but...

Hi there.

You'll get your bike back. Wait on the bench, I'll call you.

I'll find you.

Where are you hiding?

You wanted to see me, Mr. Orestes?

What's the matter?

I told you not to touch the courier.

- Did you see anything? - No, I didn't see anything.

Why are you hiding here? Come here.

You want to play with this?

Help me carry this. Come here!

Come on, kids.

Run to your grandfather!

Boboul is a fool.

Half the village screwed his daughter.

And he takes it badly when the messenger puts his log on him.

What do we do with this one?

We'll train a new messenger.

Get out of my way! Shoo!

I need to talk to Pamfir!

Pamfir! Pamfir!

Scram.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDPA

There's a job to do.

And we'll erase your debt for the church fire.

What job?

We have to transport this.

Go through the tunnel, to the border.

Leave it on the other side of the tunnel.

Come back, forget the road.

What have you been doing?

My son-in-law will take you there on carnival night.

- Yes, I'll take you. - No, you won't.

No one says no to me.

I can put you away, for the fire.

We can also take your wife where you were last night.

What's in the package?

None of your business.

I'll do it. I'll do it.

The tunnel is very narrow.

Your son will be able to squeeze through.

Nazar!

- I brought your bike back. - Awesome!

Where's Mom?

She's working the night shift today.

We'll pick her up from work.

We'll go to my aunt's in Chernivtsi for two weeks.

Nazar,

where's my bag?

Here.

Pack your things.

Dad, sit down.

What?

I'll do as Mr. Orestes asks.

But I want us to stay.

How do you know about Mr. Orestes?

The pastor told me.

I'm not a child anymore.

I know you're smuggling smuggling with Uncle Viktor.

I have two classmates who do that too.

Why can't I do it? I'll be just like you.

Listen, Nazar.

I don't want you to become a criminal. Do you understand me?

Don't ever let me catch you.

You think smuggling is for smart people?

I know how to work with these hands, and nothing else.

I have no talents.

As someone once said, "I don't like what I do,

"and I don't do what I like."

Son, you've got a good head.

You can make something with your life.

I didn't tell Mom about the fire.

From now on, do as I say.

Nazar!

Hi there.

- How are you? - I'm going to see my mother.

Did you go somewhere?

Nazar, go and warm up at grandpa's.

Hi there.

Shall we have one?

Mr. Orestes has heard that you wanted to leave.

Are you planning to go to your aunt's in Chernivtsi?

Mr. Orestes has connections everywhere: prosecutors, judges, deputies.

You can't escape him.

- Why is he on my back? - It's not you.

He wants to show what happens when you encroach on his territory.

The more you resist, the more he wants to bend you.

Don't worry, it's an easy job, it's an easy job.

The trip through the tunnel is short, one hour.

You leave the bag near the exit.

There's a special spot. And you just come back.

We'll need you again one or two more times,

while Viktor recovers.

My brother Viktor is your messenger?

You're still licking the asses of the kingpins?

What's up?

At school, you were a whipping boy, don't you remember?

We'd send you out for beer, cigarettes, like a slave.

I defended you.

Everyone called you "Leonid's stooge.

- Did you know about this? - Yeah, so what?

The bags!

Calm down, Pamfir.

We're going home, Nazar.

Shall we go to the carnival together?

Yes.

Sing Hallelujah!

It's all right.

Dad, pour me some water.

Leonid.

Pour water for the boy.

On guard, come on!

On guard, go!

Fix me a fight with Mr. Orestes.

- Dad, it's you! - It's not by the book!

Quiet! Quiet!

It's a deal.

It was regular, I decide.

Did you want to fight?

I wanted to fight the strongest.

Dad, what does "Pamfir" mean?

My grandfather used to say it was the name of a stone.

- Christ is risen! - Glory be to Him.

Which workshop is Olena in?

- Olena what? - Leonid's wife.

Pamfir.

Request inside.

I'd like to ask you a favor.

Christ...

Hello.

Hello.

Are you coming to see the boys?

I'm afraid I can't.

I'm working today.

I've arranged a day off for you, with your boss.

It's tradition.

It's not mine.

As your wife says... I'm not of your race.

Don't listen to my wife.

I'm the only one who has to listen to her.

Are you nervous?

No.

Are you sure?

Yes.

How about you?

Yes.

Carry the bag in front of you and light the way.

Don't go out of the tunnel.

Slips bag under board, near the exit.

Yes.

Nazar, wait.

Take this. So you don't hit your head.

This will be my helmet.

Will you lock up?

Yes.

Don't measure yourself against Mr. Orestes.

This is God here.

God helps me turn my pain into fuel.

- Christ is risen! - Glory to Him!

Thank you!

Help me save my son.

- From what? - From crime.

Do you need another corridor?

No, it's Viktor who's having trouble.

The bandits wanted to force him into the tunnel.

He refused, so they broke his leg.

Where's the tunnel?

To the hunters' cabin, where they feed the elk.

Near the border, behind the mountain.

Give me the map.

Here, near this mountain.

Stay at the carnival, I'll check with the guys.

Dear...

Dear Sir...

Dear Mr. Orestes...

Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!

Nazar, don't move!

Stop, damn you!

Leave me alone.

- There's been an accident. - What accident?

Go get your boys.

- What happened? - Find them!

We must find Nazar.

What happened?

We have to find your son.

- I've got a bad feeling about this. - They're here.

Find them!

Nazar!

Nazar!

- Where's Nazar? - I don't know.

- Have you seen Nazar? - Not today, yesterday.

- And Leonid? - I saw them both yesterday.

- Where is Leonid? - I don't know where he is.

I saw them yesterday.

- Have you seen Nazar or Leonid? - No, I haven't.

- They must have been in battle. - What next?

He promised to come here.

- Are you sure? - Yes, I'm sure.

- Where is it now? - I'm not sure.

Nazar!

Who's the boss here?

Mr. Orestes wins!

Make the winner parade to Mr. Orestes!

Where's Pamfir?

Where is Pamfir?

What happened?

Someone in a red suit and mask was shot at the border.

Are you going to identify the body?

Could it be your son?

They're coming!

They're coming!

Nazar!

Nazar!

Where's my Leonid?

Where is Nazar?

Have you seen Pamfir?

Where is Pamfir?

- Have you seen Pamfir? - No, I haven't.

Where is Pamfir?

The Rat, I swear on my children I haven't seen him.

Pamfir was scared!

Pamfir is coming. Pamfir is coming.

Pamfir is pissed!

Pamfir is not afraid of anyone!

Mr. Orestes is our master!

Light up!

Turn it on, damn it!

Shit, the wick's wet...

Get out of there!

Get him out of here!

You can't fool me, you bastards!

Come out the other side. Hands up.

Romanian border guards will stop you.

Let them hold you in Romania. Mr. Orestes can't have you.

Dad, you have to go to the hospital.

Nazar, from now on, don't say anything else.

You remain silent.

Let the Romanians find out where you come from and who you are.

Tell the people that it was a beast that got me.

But it's not true.

It has to be.

Nazar, only your mother who should know the truth.

Tell her I love her.

She's stronger than I am.

Remember my grandfather's words.

Don't be afraid to do what you've never done before.

Study, whatever it takes.

If you ever come back here, you'll have to fuck all these bastards.

Don't be anybody's stooge.

And most important of all: keep your word, to the end.

Never compromise with your conscience.

Can you promise me that?

I promise.

Go on, get out. Get out of here...

Get out!

(In Romanian) Go to hell!

(In Romanian) Stop!

(In Romanian) Stop!

Who are you?

Who are you?

Who are you, boy?

Who are you?

Who are you?
