2014 Venice Film Festival Award Golden Bear for Best Director

This is my brother's wedding.

Around that time, I was drafted.

Here, I'm rebuilding the house.

I replaced the rotten wood with the new one.

Here we are at the countryside.

These are my two neighbours, they're no longer alive.

What is this? Some kind of food.

My family life has started.

It didn't last long.

This is the neighbor again.

Poor guy, he drank too much vodka and drowned.

Here I am, doing agriculture.

I had a cow.

That was a long time ago.

Here I fought with goddamn vodka.

It won.

Are they singing or are they arguing?

I'm not sure what it is.

That's all.

THE POSTMAN'S WHITE NIGHTS

This movie was made in Northern Russia, in lake Kenozero area.

Protagonists are real people who live in villages near lake Keno.

Tobacco products are shown. Smoking is bad for your health.

Fuck!

And now, our game begins.

Zoya, you are very conservative. From your mom's youth,

you returned to your grandma's youth. Minis were in, back in the '60s.

Ay ya ya yay.

Let's go listen to our guests, Larisa Rubitska's family.

Alexander, what do you think?

I kind of liked that. And that's not all I remember

when it comes to my colleagues from the '60s.

They also wore patent leather shoes with high heels.

You deserve the best.

He wouldn't say 'hi'. Hi, Shura!

Hi!

Hi.

Hi, Vita. - Hi.

How are the young ones?

Are they still there? Do they have money?

Yesy they called today.

Four pensions. Yes.

Get the papers.

So, what's new?

Same old, same old.

What do you mean, 'same old'?

Here, 37, 992 rubles. Count it.

I heard you got a divorce?

Maybe I heard wrong.

Just wanted to invite you to the dance.

Count it.

What do I have to count? I know math.

Count the money.

Like when we where at Jelka, at the dance.

She danced with hers, Vanya wanted his,

I won it all by dancing. It was great.

I'm talking for five minutes already.

Like always.

Of course. Letter for you.

Okay.

There, give the notification and the slip back to me.

For Vshinikov's Jelka. My friend from school.

To be delivered as soon as possible.

Of course, she's our mayor.

Olga, did they leave bread? They did.

How many? Five. Black.

Five. Black.

You have lightbulbs? Give me two, 95 W.

Haven't seen Sergey in a long time.

Did he go anywhere? No, he's at home.

He's at home. Catching pike? Yes, he is.

Say 'hello' to him.

Okay.

238 rubles.

Add it to my tab. Alright.

Write eight more loaves of bread for Friday.

Okay.

Bye.

I left my papers there. Alright.

Lyoshka. What is it?

Come here.

No letters.

Come in, I said. Come.

I knew it. Who would write? Everything rings.

I'll stop by tomorrow.

You're not listening at all.

Hello Vitya, I brought bread. Oh...

They also gave me a letter. Thanks.

You asked for two, right? Yes.

Two lightbulbs.

Lightbulbs and what else?

I remember, I remember Lyosha,

how we spent whole month in Vietnam unloading.

Sit here, and I'll tell you how we used to sail.

Hi, Lyosha!

We used to unload rice in Vietnam. Give the papers to me.

We unloaded rice... - Thanks.

...that whole month. - Let me take a look.

We were in shallow waters, near the coast, barges were transporting rice.

We drove from Crimea.

Listen, guys.

In culture on Thursday.

"A Man and a Woman".

What? "A Man and a Woman"? Is that porn?

No. You know, Lyosha, the movie is about a meeting... It's not porn.

I've seen it last time... Do shut up. First part,

"20 years later" is the second part.

I've been listening about Vietnam for the last 14 years.

And now, a movie like this. I recommend it.

You and your movies. If you had been in Vietnam,

you wouldn't have talked like that.

I'd rather watch "A Man and a Woman".

Little sister is here too. Hi! Hi!

How was Murmansk?

Good, it's the village that's bad.

What are you doing here? Come down right away.

The tea is ready.

Vietnamese girl fell in love with sailor Volodya.

You could've bring her home?

No, no. You couldn't do that back then.

She begged me with tears in her eyes:

“Make me a Russian baby”.

Don't they have their own children?

No, no. She wanted a white child.

Candy, sugar. Come on, Maxim.

Serve Lyoshenyka too. Right away.

Irina, „A Man and a Woman“ will be played on Thursday.

Are you serious?

Oh, how lang has it been.

Vitya?

Vitka! Kolobok!

Nastya, have you seen Kolobok?

He went over to Valentina.

Kolobok!

Vitka, wait. Wait! Wait!

You started drinking again? Where are you going?

To see Valyushka.

I stopped by your house.

TV is on, but you're not there.

I turned the TV off, and left the papers on the table.

I probably forgot.

Forgot. You should've turn it off. Pour water for the cat.

Yeees.

You know that my head got cloudy.

Traveling salesman was here. Did you buy anything?

There was work. Blame it on vodka again.

I drank some.

How did you manage to get drunk and get everything?

Did you make it all by yourself?

No.

You used to say: "When I retire, I'll stop drinking".

What did I say?

You said: "When I retire, Lyosha, I'll stop drinking".

I don't remember.

You should've been sober. Leave Valenyka be.

Grandma can drink, and you'll get hurt.

That's how I got hurt. He was dancing, and he...

I didn't know about him.

Maybe I was jealous of him.

You'll be the one getting hurt again.

Oh, God!

How did you get that wound on your forehead?

Brave ram can't be without wounds.

Did you fall or what?

I clearly hit something.

Who I was talking to, it's all blurry.

A little. I don't care. I remember...

Will you come inside...?

Don't remember where...

Bye, Nikolay! Bye!

I brought money, forget the wood. Come and take it.

Okay.

Okay, then.

Sign here.

Count it.

I still have some pensions left.

Did you hear that Zhirinovsky died in Duma, during the session?

Really? - Yes.

12.

What do you mean, 12? I counted 13.

Here. Count again.

Two, three, four, five...

Maybe they're stuck.

12, I don't know.

Here, take it.

I still have my brain.

I'll have to count it all over again.

Vanya, give me some water.

Give. I'm thirsty.

What do you think, is Semyenoh back from poaching?

I don't know. I don't know.

I thought to stop by his house.

I'm going to see him. I don't care.

He'll catch it once. He will.

Thank you, Vanya.

You wanna smoke? Sure.

I have to go. Don't have time. What for?

I have to go see Zeyka.

Five minutes, tops.

Bye, Timka. Bye.

Vshinikov on board! Vshinikov!

Hello, Lyoha. Hi.

You got a letter.

Sign on the other side.

What's wrong?

In school you had long plaits, too bad you cut them off.

You fool. It was better when they were long.

Do you hear from Voyka? How is he?

Once a fool, always a fool.

You used to run like horses.

Who did the house? Nikolay.

That's why it looks like that.

I would do a better job with Sashka.

You're expensive.

I don't work for free.

It would be similar, but better.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Are you done?

Feel free to come in.

Sit down.

A cup of tea.

I'll put the kettle on.

And a little conversation with a friend from school.

Here's some jam.

How are you getting by?

What do you mean, getting by?

It's not easy without a husband?

Is Timka seeing his father?

A bit stronger? Yes, stronger.

Leave some residue. I'll spit out what's bad.

Here you go.

Help yourself.

Where did I put the letter? Did you see?

Behind you, on the cupboard.

You have a plate?

And a plate. Here you go.

Thank you. You have a plate.

Don't drink too much.

Weird.

What's that?

They sent new instruction for the fishing inspectors.

They're very strict now.

Why did you come back from town?

Kids have to go to school, there hasn't been one here for a long time.

I have to sell the house.

When I sell it, we're leaving.

You know how much a house costs?

First you have to do the paperwork.

If you have the old papers, the house is old,

whatever you got is good.

You can work it out with them.

If you're lucky and everything is by the books, and they're willing...

What's so funny?

Where did you get your teeth done?

In Plesetsk. You like them?

Give me a smile.

That dentist of yours is pretty clumsy.

He was a proper dentist. Yes, clumsy.

It was better off without the teeth.

Somebody likes it, she doesn't.

People were better once, normal.

Now they're rougher.

I'll give it back when we're done. Alright.

Is there anything they won't make...

What? - Nothing.

They had to come today.

Here, take it here.

Don't be afraid of the horse.

What if he stomps on me?

Don't be afraid, here.

Put your foot here. Do you understand?

And the horse will go straight.

See, I fixed the plow.

Prrr.

Try it, see what happens.

Let's go plowing.

Where did you run off to?

What did I say?

You see, he's stable.

Ready? Yes.

Let me see.

Don't run in front of the hooves.

Not bad for a first time.

And you're just standing there. Why aren't you gathering?

I have to control you.

Keep it going.

All the potatoes need to be gathered.

Take less. Not so much dirt. Clean it up a bit.

Let go, take from the bottom, shake the dirt off.

Give me that bucket, it's full, take this one.

What's that?

Hi, Lyoh.

Hi. Hello, uncle Lyosha.

Hello, Timka.

Easy.

What's up with you?

My back is hurting. Let me help. I'll pick it up.

Timka, let me. I'll do it. Give him the bucket.

Da nisi bila na propuhu?

My mom also had back pain.

I used to sting her with nettle.

You have ointment for my spine?

Which one? 192 or 220 rubles?

What's the difference?

Give me the more expensive one.

Here you go.

It's stinging my nose. It does that.

Mom!

Timka, wait a minute. What do you got there?

This? It's Batman.

Press here.

Can he shoot? Yeah.

Wait. Hold on.

You remember I promised to take you fishing.

Yeah.

Have you ever been fishing? - No.

Come, Timka.

Do you go to school? - I do.

You know to read and write?

Yes.

Oh, why are you sitting there? Welcome!

Timka, Lyoha, sit by the table.

Freshly baked pastry with milk.

Wash your hands, come on.

Come in, Lyoha. Let me set the chairs.

I got really tired today.

Couldn't catch a break.

So much to do.

I went shopping, at Fofanova.

Oh, incredible. Such a heat.

Come in. Come in.

Come, why are you standing there. I'll set the table now.

I heard there are mushrooms?

I haven't been to the woods.

It's not a problem to pick mushrooms, but they're too much work.

We could go together. Hm? There.

Why are you standing at the door?

Sit down. Sit down, what's...

Timka! Where are you? - I'm coming.

Did you wash your hands?

Come, eat.

Pastry is a bit burnt.

My socks are wet.

Your socks are wet. Yeah. - Take them off.

Lyoha, what's wrong? You're not your usual self.

Here, eat.

What is the matter?

I don't know, maybe he's sad. He's strange.

You still don't get it?

Come on, hurry.

Looks like bad weather is approaching.

Good job, we're all out of time.

We'd have an even better catch over there.

Where? - There, right under the bush.

We could catch a lot of fish.

It spawns there, so the catch is better.

Why haven't Nikolay told me?

It's all over the place. That's quite normal round here.

Comrade Kudrov. Everything is set.

Goodbye.

When will you be back? I don't know.

Here, Lyosha, count it. It's okay.

If you need anything, call me.

Let's go. We don't know what happened.

She passed out all of a sudden.

She got up, and then she crashed. Careful.

Maybe a stroke?

Could be, I'm not a doctor. How would I know.

Let me. Hold on, granny.

Don't shake. Don't shake her.

God, how misfortunate. Put her down carefully.

Take a look, is she even breathing?

Great sadness fell upon the family,

and not just the family, but the whole village.

And not just the village, but the whole area.

Ana Dmitrevna passed away. She left us.

And not only her, but one whole era,

which we can call the era of socialist romantism.

Whose representatives are her

and the patriots who honorably responded to the challenges of era,

nationalization, mechanization and war.

The war was not the only one that decided the worldview of an entire generation,

but also the impossibility of leaving, the hopelessness.

They could only give birth and wait.

And here is Ana Dmitrovna, let her be remembered...

My soul hurts the entire time.

All the time.

I don't know.

It's weird, but my soul hurts all the time.

She's only peaceful when I'm drunk.

Only then, I don't feel a thing.

When I'm sober, I feel the pain.

When I work, I forget for a while.

Like that.

I can't even be happy like the others.

I don't know, my whole life has passed in suffering.

Maybe it all started when I was in the army.

I suffered, and endured, endured and suffered.

I thought that life will become easier.

I don't know, it's always the same, where once was cut into.

Life is like that. Yes.

Don't know, seems like it should be rosy, happy, good.

And once you come closer.

It's all grey.

Yes, life hurts. And if you push back,

sadness overcomes you.

It can even lead you to murder.

Have you started digging the potatoes?

Hand over the fish! - Don't.

Give! It's not necessary!

Ira, what are you doing?

What is going on here? Be quiet.

I said, come down.

I just got here. Men caught some fish.

They're sending them to jail for it.

Let go.

Let go, I'm talking to you?

Move over, I said!

The policeman is coming. He'll deal with you now.

Stay on the boat. Stay on the boat.

Calm down. No need for that.

What happened?

I caught them poaching. They won't even leave the boat.

Leave that in a boat.

Sergey Viktovich, I'm writing a report.

You're calling it in?

Calling it in? Vitya, you don't need problems.

I'll take you home to calm down, we're not going to argue.

Turn left. Stop right there.

You're all parasites. Who's a parasite?

You haven't earned a kopeyka in your life.

Unlike Vityuh.

And you're calling us parasites.

Wait.

Irina, let them go, we know each other.

Go away, I won't forgive them.

You won't, and why haven't you punished the general?

What general?

The one who was catching fish.

I haven't seen any general. Let it go.

You drove and watched through binoculars.

Turned your head the other way.

He caught more fish than them.

What are you talking about, I haven't seen anyone.

So, the general is okay. And we should be punished.

Here's the fine, I'll hand it in the directorate.

Sign it.

I won't sign anything.

Will you sign?

I won't sign. - Sergey Viktorich, sign it.

Sign what? We live of our pensions.

They took everything. They took fish. They took the boat.

What are going to do now, what should we live from?

Help me, Lyoha, my back hurts.

Let's go, Vitya.

Let's go.

Easy! Be careful.

Don't be upset, Vitya, you might get sick.

She might still withdraw the fine.

I don't want to lose my job.

We could make a deal.

Let the court handle it.

I hope she chokes on that fish.

Is that all?

That's all. The last one.

Uncle Lyosha, who lives in this house?

Owners died a long time ago, Timka.

The kids moved to town, nobody lives there anymore.

Then why do they have curtains?

They're gone, but they left their things behind.

See, nobody is keeping the house. Let's go.

It must be cold inside. Yes, it's cold.

Vitya, what are you doing with those logs?

I'd like to take them home. Aren't they rotten?

I'll take one and see.

I'll see if they'll burn.

Go on, give it a try.

Timka finished school.

We'll take him as a mailman.

There won't be any mail.

What do you mean there won't be any mail, there's always going to be mail.

Who needs mail?

You said it yourself, noone writes letters anymore.

Besides, we have Stornet now.

Timka, even without the letters, the mail is required.

You can't send bread with SMS.

You have to bring it by boat, you understand.

If there was no mail, who would live here?

The village would disappear.

When we all die, the mail won't be necessary anymore.

We're not going to die all at once, Vitya.

And maybe the logs will burn after all.

We had music and singing classes here.

Which songs did you sing?

Something about animals...

I don't remember the lyrics.

Sing!

There was something about Cheburashka, I forgot.

Wait, don't run.

What was over here?

Here? - Yes.

Chemistry and physics were in here.

We did all sorts of experiments.

And what did you do after school?

The brave ones used to challenge Kikimora.

What?

There was a place by the river.

She used to live there, the Kikimora.

What are you talking about, what Kikimora?

That's just a fairytale.

Fairytale or not...

Kikimora is small.

But strong.

Small head, skinny.

I don't believe in your Kikimora.

She doesn't exist.

Thin like a matchstick.

When she grabs someone,

she pulls him to the deep water of the lake.

Impossible. I've seen it with my very own eyes.

Only the head appears, like a rabid dog.

You scare me when you talk like that.

Don't be afraid, maybe she'll leave us be.

We only want to see her, don't mean to provoke her.

What if she catches me?

Don't be afraid, if you grab a paddle, she'll get scared.

What?

She's scared easily. You know what she's like.

We have to see her first.

If she sees us first, then...

Oh, we're too loud.

We have to be quiet, she won't get on the boat.

Hush, hush.

Let's not go any further. Please, let's go back.

Let's go a bit more forth.

I won't go any further.

Didn't you use to say that you're not afraid of anything?

She sticks to the coast, won't go into the water.

Don't be afraid. What are you afraid of?

Turn back, let's go back.

I want to go back. Shhhh.

Sit down. Sit down.

Just a bit more, looks like she's coming.

Steady.

She'll jump out from somewhere any moment.

Whoooo.

Don't be afraid, Timka, were far from the coast.

Come to me, don't be afraid.

Come. Sit down.

Okay, there.

I don't want to see her anymore.

We didn't wait for her, Timka.

Let's go fishing.

Thank God!

Oh, it seethes.

What's the matter, Timka, what are you thinking about?

About Kikimora.

You can't forget her?

I can, but I can hear her sing.

What? - Yes, Kikimora sings?

Stop that, it's just your imagination.

No, I really heard her.

You only imagined it.

I didn't imagine it, I heard.

Timka, I put the fish, but forgot the salt.

Come back soon, uncle Lyosha. You sit tight and wait.

Put on your jacket. Watch the fire.

I won't be long.

Smoking kills.

Doesn't matter.

Whoops, what are you doing? Timka!

Smoking.

Your mom will scold me, she'll think I taught you.

Give me the lighter, give.

Where did you find the cigarettes? In the jacket.

What did you do? Smoking isn't good.

Eh, Timka?

Look what happens if you smoke.

What does it say? Smoking kills.

You shouldn't smoke. Optima.

Smoking can cause congestion and impotence.

And what is competence?

That's some sort of cancer, or what?

You're still young, forget about it.

Ask your mother. - Either way, you should stop.

I used to drink, but then I stopped.

I'll stop smoking too.

And you, will you drink vodka? - No.

Good call, I used to drink, I know how it is.

I don't know, all sorts of things... happen.

People sink.

And then start to drink. I used to drink too.

Good thing I stopped.

Yurka, did you see anyone hanging around here?

No, I haven't seen anyone.

What happened?

Come and see what happened.

Ooh... What's that?

They took the engine off last night.

Is it stolen?

Can't you see? Everything is stolen.

Stolen? In our village.

I see.

Nothing but evil.

I'll ask Kolya, he goes fishing at night, maybe he saw something.

Don't know, I haven't seen a thing, maybe I'll see something tomorrow.

If I see him, I'm gonna kill him.

What?

Somebody stole my engine.

Where? - Down there.

Did you hear anything? No.

How's that possible, Lyoha.

I don't get it.

Trouble.

Oh, ouch. You did say it was some bullshit.

I can't believe it.

If you no longer need the boat, can I borrow yours?

Of course. Please, take it.

I was hoping you'd say that.

Svetka, come in.

We locked the door for Svetka.

So they won't disturb us while we're talking.

Oh, what a loss.

From bathing?

I was picking mushrooms.

Uncle Lyosha, I'm coming with you.

Timka, why are you here? Easy there.

I'll be gone for a long time, will be out all day.

Mom told me to go to work with you, whole day.

They stole your engine? - Yes.

Who? And who told you?

Kolobok.

You went to see him too? Yes.

Off we go.

Boy, that was a big swing.

Is Kolobok always drunk?

Now and then, sometimes.

When he gets his pension, he drinks.

Where are we going now? To the police.

Pass me the eleven.

What are we going to do? File a charge.

Push here.

You think they'll find it?

Your engine is already sold.

How am I going to deliver mail? - I don't know.

What are you doing there?

There's no kindness.

What are you thinking about?

Is there a problem?

You'd think so.

It's strange.

Some people claim they know.

Nobody knows.

The fact is, nobody knows the truth.

That's just a deception.

Mom put me to foster care when I was five.

They told me she abandoned me.

We were hungry.

Life was hard.

My sister was only one year old.

Nobody knew if it will be better or worse.

It should've been done all the way.

It's better like that for this world.

While the bird is still small, it should be put into a cage.

Come again?

It's getting cold.

It might ease up, or not.

Then I thought...

Maybe they're saying 'hello', from that other world.

Thank God.

It can all turn around.

How much are the cigarettes?

I don't know.

Give me your hand, Timka.

There's a lot of people, you'll get lost.

Don't go far, I'll be right back.

Meow!

He asked where are you going?

I'm going to post office to get a new engine.

Natalya Andreyevna. They stole my engine.

What do I care.

I have to deliver mail.

I'll need a new one.

You think we have them in storage?

You should order.

That takes time.

It will get here in about a month.

Irina, you didn't take assets in consideration?

How will I deliver mail without an engine?

You should will a form. Please, write an application.

I've had enough.

Not here, in secretariat.

Where are my papers?

Where are we going now? To my sister's.

How come you never told me you have a sister?

I told you bunch of times.

You don't listen carefully, and then ask questions all the time.

Why didn't you call first?

Didn't know I'll stop by.

You have a new haircut.

Must be Gluki sending?

A grey cat comes to me every night.

Sits on my chest.

Watching me.

I turned around, looked again, and the cat was gone.

There are no grey cats in our village.

Do you drink?

What makes you say that? Haven't been drinking the last two years.

The neighbors can testify.

Timka, did you wash your hands? I did.

Have a compote.

What time is it?

20 minutes to 3.

Come, I have to speak with you.

Listen, they stole my engine.

How did that happen?

How... they came and they stole.

I was in post office, they promised a new one, but they have to buy it.

Can you lend me some money? You didn't give me any.

I gave you all the time, even when I didn't have it.

I reall don't have money.

You know the general?

He comes here for fishing.

I arrange it all for him every time.

Uncle Lyosha, is that a launch pad?

How would I know? I've never been here as well.

Great.

Look at the size of those wagons.

So, he's going to help us with the engine.

Greetings. Welcome.

To the middle. The squad is lined. Squad commander reporting.

Ready, dismissed.

Ready. Dismissed. Line up. Dismissed.

Listen to the commander's orders. Rocket carrier 421 ready for transport...

You came.

Want to take a closer look? I'd like to speak to the general.

No, he's busy right now.

Can I give him a message?

Just say 'hi'. Alright.

This wasn't like this.

Who put this here?

I won't put a latch.

No, I won't.

They must have ice cream there.

Uncle Lyosha, do they have ice cream?

You have ice cream? Plombir.

Give us one Plombir. We'll sit by the table.

Uncle Lyosha, I'll show you now how my cat dances?

Don't you want ice cream?

You still think about your engine?

Miss, what do you have to drink?

It is a happy hour, we only have cocktails.

What's that?

All cocktails are half price.

I'd like vodka.

No vodka, only cocktails.

Tequila sunrise, mojito, margarita.

Belarus.

Bit stronger than margarita? That's all.

50 ml of tequila.

Plus 50 ml of lemon juice.

Some ice.

I have a friend in the village who would've like that.

Kolobok.

200 rubles.

I haven't had a drink in two years.

Two years? Why didn't you say so?

Not enough.

A bit more.

No, better give me some ice cream.

Ice cream?

Listen, I have it all worked out.

I'll ask mom for the money.

She'll give it to me. And I'll give it to you.

She loves you very much.

I forgot to tell Kolobok.

I have some boiled potatoes. He could've eaten them.

I think the police is going to find your engine.

They will.

Timur!

Come here!

Come here!

Come here!

Where were you today? Where were you? Hm?

I went sick worrying. I thought you drowned.

Who gave you permission? Who told you to go?

Ungrateful.

Mom, I thought you let me.

Is your head that empty, you old fool?

I thought you let me. I let you hang out?

You told him to go with me.

You let him go with me!

I let him what? No, I didn't. Didn't let him go with anyone.

Don't you ever do that again!

Yes.

Never go to his house again.

Mom, he's good.

You could've at least call.

I lied, he believed me.

The phone line didn't work.

Get inside. I was searching for you all day like a fool.

You're listening to „Call me“. We continue with our program.

Here in studio is a girl, Kolima. Love is in her eyes.

He wants to come back. He believes he's going to work as an educator there.

He was told he has to finish school, and looks like he made it.

It is the unique educational center like home, where hope exists.

I hope,

they will all become good people,

who will start their own families.

Normal families.

And that they'll have a loving home,

and that their children

will never leave.

And all will be good.

Hi! Oh, hi!

I bought ointment for you.

Forgot to give it to you.

Thanks.

Are you mad?

What? Why would I be mad? Hold this.

Good thing you came. You can rub the ointment in.

No problem.

Be quiet, don't wake Timka.

Come on. Carry him to his room.

Leave him, he'll come to me again.

It's better if we go to his room.

Let me.

A bit harder.

That's good.

Women love when they're squeezed.

You can rub some for me as well.

You got it all wrong. Go home.

I don't understand.

Thanks.

What's our house going to be like?

Don't walk in front of me.

How's the school going to be?

How do I know, good.

What's wrong? What happened?

Disaster.

What happened? I forgot my cat.

Come here. I won't leave without my cat.

Come on, pack it all real quick and wait for me here.

Lyoha! Lyoha! Lyoha!

Listen.

Keep dancing.

Why are you so happy?

I found a job in Arkhangelsk, imagine that. We're leaving, Lyosha.

You don't like it here?

No, everybody here hates me.

That's good, Timka, let's go.

Uncle Lyosha, I forgot my cat.

I can go get him real quick.

There's no time.

Listen Lyoha, I haven't finished it all, regarding the house.

Can you help me with that?

I won't go without my cat.

We know.

I found a job in Arkhangelsk.

Lyoha, thank you.

Say goodbye to Lyosha.

I'm not going anywhere.

Say goodbye. I don't want to go.

Say goodbye. I don't want to go.

Then we're going.

I said, we're going.

I'm not going anywhere.

Uncle Lyosha, come with us.

Sit still.

There's no authorization?

What? No authorization.

I'll make one and send it to you.

See you soon.

Hi Vitya, why are you sad?

I'm not so good today, I drank bourbon yesterday.

Forgot to leave some for hangover.

Found a fiver in my suit. Maybe I'll find a hundred.

What, you didn't like it?

Ay.

There's no solution. They have...

You haven't received your pension yet?

No. I didn't.

And you say someone stole your engine?

Could've been them...

No.

They sold it.

Come with me.

Let's go, let's go.

I can walk.

That idiot could've said something.

He talks about Vietnamese women. Doesn't know anything else.

Borisovna, you go with him.

You can't trust them.

Who's there? Lyoha. Come, sit down.

Go on, sit. I'm not going to dance.

No, you won't dance now.

Here's a drink.

Where was it? On the coast.

I still have something to look forward to. The kids are alright.

Vitya, don't get drunk from too much joy.

Quiet.

You have money for the drinks?

I beg your pardon. Vitya's buying.

Buying with what? He didn't receive his pension yet.

He stole an engine and now he's buying.

What engine? I don't understand.

What are you talking about, Lyoha?

Shut up.

You really mean that. Think about it for a while.

I know I insulted Vitya about the engine.

He didn't steal the engine.

You did the right thing by leaving.

Hi, Yurka. Hi!

Why are you sitting there?

I came to check the nets.

My blood pressure went up. Can't go anywhere.

Just to smoke the cigarette, and I'm on my way.

Where are you coming from?

I was in Plesetsk.

Have you calmed down?

What? Are you good now? Not quiet.

It's all good.

I was waiting for you to calm down?

We're friends, we understand each other?

Yes, Lyoha.

We have our pensions.

The shop has everything.

But it's still not good.

Times are like that, Yura.
