INSPIRED BY ANDRIY DANYLKO'S STORY

I hate the metro.

I am all wet,
and that is not even mine!

KYIV - MAY 1995

I'm a little short of money.

I swear the day will come
when I'll live in this house.

And no amount of money will make me
set foot in the underground again.

I'm gonna make tons of money!

FIRST DAYS - A HOUSE WITH A STAR

CONFERENCE HALL

FEBRUARY 24, 2022 13.10

- Yes?
- Andriy, it's started!

Kyiv is being shelled!
Kharkiv, Odesa, Lviv are shelled!

- It is on, Andriy!
- What's that noise?

It's my absolutely panic emergency bag.
I'm approaching your house.

- What for?
- We gotta leave Kyiv.

It's war, Andriy!

Stop doing that!

We are at Andriy's place. Downtown.

If they storm the President's Office,
we'll have the best goddamn view.

Hi, Oleh!

Andriy Mykolaiovych. What's going on?

- Bastards!
- True.

Go pack Andriy's clothes.
Take various items!

What are your plans for the war?

Scuttle, my dear! I was warned that men
will be prohibited from leaving Ukraine.

So, drive as fast as you can.
Opt for Romania.

- Thanks for the warning.
- Don't tell anyone. Hugs.

What am I supposed to pack?

Andriy Mykolaiovych, hi!
I'm sorry, I'm late.

My bus is late,
and you know, the war.

- Halia, are you on the way here?
- Well, yes. It's Thursday.

- Who else is going to clean there?
- Go home.

Thank you.

Halia, are you gonna stay in Kyiv?
Everyone is leaving.

Where can I go?

Two dogs, and my mom is bedridden.
We have nowhere to go.

- Take care.
- You too, Andriy Mykolaiovych.

Kolia, send three months' salary to Halia.

Yeah?

Take all the documents.
Yes, the dog's ID too.

And all the most valuable...

RUSSIAN NUMBER

If you value a Dior bag the most, take it!
We'll sell it to Romanians.

- Hello?
- Andriy, my dear!

They're just fucking nuts!
A war on a brother nation?

- We are run by idiots.
- Yes, we did not expect that.

We'll figure it all out.

I have a good man.
He'll help, via Belarus, safely.

- We'll take you.
- You what?

We will take you to Moscow.
Everyone loves you here.

You'll feel at home. You'll give concerts.
Just like before the Crimea events.

I'm no trophy accordion
you could just take home!

I know you are angry,
but they will get to Kyiv in three days.

Then they will get to Kyiv
with me still here.

They will not back off.
It's as good as done.

Your friend Vova is the first to flee.
The Americans are sneaking him out.

He's not my friend. He is my president.

He may do as he sees fit.
I will do as I see fit.

Andriy!

OK, let's sit down for a minute
for good luck.

Let's think about what we forgot to take.

I don't know when we'll return.

If we do... at all...

You know what?

Gotta go to the toilet.

And I can't, with you wailing.

Follow the ballet troop.

Don't wait for me.

I'll catch you up on the highway.

Have a safe trip, Andriy Mykolaiovych.

Do you have family in Kyiv?

- My mom.
- Drive to your mom.

You want to visit my mom?

I'm staying.

- I will explain it all to Oleksii.
- How are you gonna live here alone?

Pretty much like every single day before.

- Oleksii, calm down.
- How could you do this to me?

If your voice go higher than A-flat,
I'm hanging up.

How will you live without us?
Let's find you a bodyguard!

Have you eaten today?
What if there's a blackout, no water?

What if you can't
flush your shit in the toilet?

Can I book you a hotel room
outside of Kyiv?

What if they bomb the center?
What if they occupy the center?

So many questions. Stop it, Oprah!

- Andriy...
- What's gonna be is gonna be.

- Or better.
- This is insane!

My dinner is black caviar, by the way.

- What caviar?
- The one you gave me.

I've been looking for the right
occasion for six months.

Every Russian soldier knows your face,
so how are you going to live alone

in the most dangerous
fucking square mile in Europe?!

- Oh, here we go, A-flat. Bye now!
- No... No!

- Hello?
- Andriy Mykolaiovych, hi!

- Hello.
- I hope you are safe.

My name is Oksana,
I'm a guest editor on the 1+1 channel.

Can you make a statement about the war?

I am not a military expert.
Nor a politician.

- Not a medium.
- Can't you find a few words to say?

When cannons speak,
the... these... who are silent...

I forgot. Help me, who is silent?

- Scholz? Macron?
- God, no! I meant art.

- The harps or lyres are silent...
- Or pianos, or drums.

Well done, Oksana.

So, they all are silent, and I am silent.

People need information,
not my statement.

Hello?

- Are you crying, Oksana?
- No.

It's OK, it's a natural
response to a crazy day.

What else can I say?

Say it's going to be OK.

Oksana, it's going to be OK.

We're home.

We are right.

We are the good ones in this story.

Is... Is that an air raid alarm?

Let me listen.

It sounds like
a dishwasher or a microwave.

Or something like that.

Hello? Andriy? Are you OK? Hello?

- Hello?
- Hello?

Thank you, Oksana.
The threat is localized.

KHARKIV REGION:
SOUTH - NORTH

Where to hide during shelling?

I failed to find Wedding Hide
Due to Shilling in your music library...

I'm saying
"Where to hide during shelling?"

Something went wrong.
Repeat the question, please.

- Where to hide!
- Something went wrong.

Andriy Mykolaiovych!
I know where to hide!

I am the concierge!

Will we grab anyone else?

There is no one left.
All the residents have gone.

So, can we ring the door
and run away?

- Sure, ring and run away.
- I'm just kidding.

Please, go on kidding,
Andriy Mykolaiovych.

Wow, do we have a bomb shelter?

It was set up for
a nuclear war with America.

You see how it goes now.

The rockets are flying
from the opposite side.

I should replace the light bulb.

Watch your head.

Mind your step.

Where did this come from?

There was a movie theater warehouse here.

- And that is you.
- I recognized.

Come on in. Have a seat.

There's no Internet.

There isn't.

Fuck.

Fucking hell.

Do you have a bonus card?

Do you need a bag?

You know, I saw you,
and my heart is lighter now.

Mine too.

I cried so hard, and then I met the star,
in Kyiv, during the war.

I know it is a good sign.

For all of us.

Yes?

I don't do interviews about the war.

Fucking hell.

GROAT

- Hello?
- Halia?

- Yes?
- Where's the vacuum cleaner?

Is that it?

- Halia?
- Yes?

- Where's the salt?
- You have none.

On the second day
of the Russian invasion of Ukraine,

the most massive enemy attacks
took place in Kharkiv Oblast

right around the administrative center.

Serhiy Morgun is giving us the details
about the second day of the invasion.

Sumy is fighting!

Okhtyrka has been suffering
from the massive Russian shelling all day.

The battles are still going on.

The Klymentivsky Bridge across Vorskla
has been destroyed.

According to preliminary data,
it was blown up by us

to stop the movement of enemy equipment.

From Okhtyrka every hour...

Halia, what is our concierge's name?

No, not the lumpy one.
Not the gray-haired one.

Handsome? OK, Handsome one.

Just like that?

The enemy places Grad rocket launchers
right next to the residential buildings...

Kuzmich?

What's up?

I've been better.

What is the news?

I heard they had reached Hostomel.

It's seven kilometers from Kyiv...

I have some news.

So, there is a Russian drone flying.

And our granny is standing on the balcony.

She picks up and throws
what's next to her.

A can of pickles.

Imagine that. The drone was hit.

More news.

Russian soldiers invaded Andriivka.

Where is it?

A village in Zaporizhzhia Oblast.
Mostly Bulgarians.

So, they ask the locals,
how to get to Kyiv.

And all the people there
start only answering in Bulgarian.

These assholes panic.
"What have we wandered into?"

"What country are we in?"

Andriy Mykolaiovych,
you should broadcast the news.

When I watch TV,
I am so desperate I want to die.

And when I listen to you,
I have this hope that...

maybe they won't occupy us in two weeks.

Hello?

I don't do interviews.

However...

I'm in Kyiv. I did not leave.

My call sign is Andriy the Drone.

And I have my pal Kuzmich the Bullet.

Andriy, are you writing new songs now?

I am working on a song
called "Die, Putin, Die!"

Andriy, thank you for this laughter.
It's pure therapy!

They say, "When cannons speak,
the muses are silent."

That's right! Muses.

What do you think about

the Ukrainian artists who live in Russia
and support this war with their silence?

There is an actress...

She's Odesa-born,
but moved to Moscow long ago.

EXCLUSIVE WITH YURIY GORBUNOV

She says she feels like...

a little girl asked

which parent she loves more, dad or mom?

Russia or Ukraine?

When my drunk dad broke a window...

and beat my mom, I never ever doubted...

I was six.

I ran to a phone booth.

And called the police, and I said...

"Come to 43 Lenin Street,
and save my mom!"

I knew exactly who I chose.

What should we do
in order not to go crazy?

YOU INTERVIEW

You have to stay busy.

Every minute of my day
is scheduled now.

That's how I don't go crazy.

MARCH 12, 2022

- Is salt back in stock yet?
- No.

I think I should go in for sports.

- What can I do here?
- You have an exercise bike.

- Really?
- Really. It was a gift from me.

Wow.

So, I sit awake at night
and hear the fridge go,

"Puuutin, Puuutin!"

So, I turned the fucking thing off!

- That's what Kuzmich says.
- Your Kuzmich is a legendary man.

Invite him to Dancing with the Stars
after we win.

Where did that come from?

Salt.

Find me some salt.

I'm begging.

We're all out of salt.
May I take a picture?

- Salt...
- Salt...

I listen to all your interviews,
and send them to my mom.

Andriy Mykolaiovych, are you composing?

Huh?

Nah, just...

I remember that other music
you used to write.

With no voice,
only a piano and instruments...

So beautiful. Sounded like Vivaldi.

Like Vivaldi? It turns out that people
are not that much into Vivaldi.

Sure. That music is complicated.
And complicated is frightening.

People need something simple.
Simple is closer to the heart.

Like your songs.

No offense.

I know everything to know about me.

Did you notice the first month of spring
has almost ended...

but it feels
like this February never ends.

MARCH 26, 2022

The war has revealed that family
is the most important thing.

Losing one's assets, apartments,
and careers is not that frightening.

Keeping one's family is what matters.

How do you manage to cope
without a family in such hard times?

I accepted it.

I reconciled myself to this:

I am not family material,
and I'll never have one.

However, I feel...

I'm alone...

but I'm not lonely.

Andriy Mykolaiovych!

Open up!

Wake up!

I'm coming.

You missed the alarm, and good news!
They've abandoned Kyiv Oblast!

- Really?
- Choke on that, you bastards!

So does it mean we are winning
Andriy Mykolaiovych?

Do you sleep in that mask?

Well, no.

But without it,
I feel like I'm without pants.

Or without a bulletproof vest.

You just feel safer.
A mask on the stage and a mask in public?

Kuzmich, that's enough analysis.

I made a promise to myself
to take off the mask...

once the war is over.

Imagine!

One morning, you wake up,
turn on the TV and see me...

slim and maskless.

You will know that we have won.

Go slim faster, Andriy Mykolaiovych!

I've dropped six pounds!

- Wow.
- I do my best for the sake of victory.

...that Kyiv Region is finally free
from the invading Russian army.

Hostomel, Bucha, Irpin, Vorzel,
and Borodianka took the main hit,

but the blitzkrieg aimed
at taking Kyiv quickly failed,

And what the military
and journalists are seeing

as they enter the liberated town
is more than shocking, it's despair.

I cannot even describe...

It's hard to believe
that people could do this to civilians.

Dozens of bodies are lying right
on the streets, left there for weeks.

Many are executed deliberately.

Women, the elderly, children.

Cars and shuttles
full of dead people inside

were left standing by the roads.

These people were just trying
to leave the city.

A dog handler and explosives experts
are checking the area for explosives.

There have been cases of Russians
booby-trapping the bodies.

Several mass graves
have already been found in Bucha.

Most people were shot.
Many of them were tortured.

Russian occupiers threw human bodies
with their hands tied behind them

and bullet holes into pits
as though they were wood.

When the shelling subsided,
the town's residents would dig

the graves for the dead in house yards,
parks, public gardens, and lawns,

to keep dogs
from dragging the bodies around.

Three places of torture
have already been identified.

Dozens of people are missing.

At least 320 civilians
were murdered in Bucha town alone.

Experts find more bodies every hour.

THE SHOT AND BURNT BODIES OF A FAMILY

APRIL 3, 2022

APRIL 9, 2022

Air raid alert!
Please go to a shelter immediately.

Andriy Mykolaiovych, salt!

Open the door!

- Salt!
- What? What are you saying?

I found some salt for you.

Thank you.

Leave it at the door.

I can only hand it personally,
if you promise

you'll go to the shelter
during air raid alerts.

Kuzmich?

Can you return in half an hour?
With salt?

Sure.

I'm cooking steak. Salt is what we need.

Thank you.

- Will you join me, please?
- Me?

- Gladly.
- Come in.

I've just passed on duties to Petrovych,
and so I finally have a day off.

Kuzmich? Congrats! You've earned it!

- Sit down. I'll be back in a sec.
- Thanks.

So?

Is there other news in our house?

People are coming back.
Residents of apartments 8 and 15 returned.

Kyiv is livening up.

- Life is winning.
- Yeah.

It's beautiful.

Here.

You know what I dreamed about?

Kuzmich...

Are you also single?

Do you also live alone?

No, l live with my wife,

my daughter, my son-in-law
and three granddaughters.

They all moved to my sister in Vinnytsia.

You should have gone with them.
Why didn't you leave your service?

Cause you also didn't leave your service.

You see how it is.
There are people of talent.

Like you. You are a singer,
comedian and a great artist.

Me, I have no talents.
I was a kind of invisible man.

When the war started, I thought...

What if my talent
is to be near a great person?

To help, to listen to,
to make you go to the basement.

To find salt.

My wife never misses
any of your interviews.

She says it's like a sedative,
giving the power to live on.

Do you really know
how many people you give power to?

You say you don't have a family.

But for many people, you are family.

Eat, or it will get cold.

It's really good.

You also have a talent for cooking.

That's a compliment for me.

You know, I thought that
if they took the star off our house,

it would still be a house with a star.

- Yes?
- Hi, Andriy! How are you?

You're not gonna take it,
but I'll try anyway.

They want your show
for those who stayed in Kyiv.

I know you'll say it's not appropriate...

- What's the venue?
- You hate this place.

- It's not Moscow, I hope...
- I wouldn't take you that deep.

And not the metro?

Is it the metro?

Don't worry.
All the dates have been arranged.

Well, it's not important now.

- Yes.
- Andriy Mykolaiovych. Excuse me.

I came to say goodbye.
I've taken a vacation. Going to my family.

I'm happy for you.

And I'm going back to work again.
There's a show today.

I look forward to your interview...

with no mask.

Me too.

And we welcome the superstar
of Ukrainian show business.

Who's going on stage right now.

Verka Serduchka!

in June 2022,

Andriy Danylko and Verka Serduchka band
gave a concert in the Kyiv metro.

KYIV - JUNE 2022

If you see their new uniform...

VISITING DMITIY GORDON

...it looks like this!

Andriy still lives
in the House with the star.

Kuzmich still works there.
