Hello!

Tell us, dear, where do you have your church?

Over there, on the other side of the village.

Where are you from?

From Kalinka village.

Don't you have a church over there?

They've shut it, a month ago.

We don't have a priest any more.

How come?

We don't know. He just disappeared.

Now we'll be attending your services.

Today's Intercession Day.

What's the father's name here?

Father Alexander.

FOR MY NAME'S SAKE

Well, you've licked the whole table clean now, huh?

But there are so many crumbs!

Pasha, go take this to that girl, she's got nothing to eat...

I won't. Let her find her own food.

I'll eat it!

Hush!

Go and take it to her!

Never!

Daughter, would you? Please?

Vasya, but she's all hungry there! Come on, take it over to her!

Hang on, I'll add some buttermilk, too.

There we go.

Come on now...

Hello, Ma'am!

One should eat at home!

Come on, take it! Don't be afraid!

There you go! Good girl!

What are you staring at, you dunce? Go on your way!

Oh, you've dropped it? No worries, I've got it!

Come in, come in, don't be afraid! I'll give you another one!

Mother's calling you home!

She's our Mom, not yours! Get lost, you Fascist!

Your father has killed our father! Watch out, I'll teach you a lesson now!

Come on, get her!

Hello!

Hello there!

Lord, have mercy upon me! Lord have...

Have you found her? No!

Did you check behind the barn?

Come here for a second What?

Can you read that? It's all blurry.

It's a "Killed in Battle" notice...

It's one of Stapanida's guys...

But I can't see the name...

I can't see, either.

Could be Stepanida's husband or her son...

Hey, where are you going!?

Stepanida's guys both have the same name.

Yes, both the son and the husband... That's right...

And they've been both "Missing in Action"...

Yes, but I can't read about whom this notice is...

Can't read the name!

Well, just leave it then!

Wait, wait, Zina! Stepanida's in bad health now...

She's been having heart problems...

Let's wait for a couple of days Give it to her when she feels better

You're right, I'll give it to her later then...

Hold it! Hold it! Where do you think you are going!?

March on to your homes now!

Come on, come on, kids, hurry up! God be with you! Com on!

Hey, Stepanida! How are you feeling today?

Oh, much better, thank you! Could barely breathe, but now's much better!

Well, great!... Good to hear that!

- Avdotya! - Huh?

Why don't you feed your kids at home?

What!?

I keep seeing your Vasya running about with a bowl in the streets

and eating from it, poor fellow!

Would be better if you fed him at home!

Really!? Oh, this.... Oh, God, I cannot believe this!

Look what I've got for you! Take it! It's yours!

Take this ribbon, it's yours now! Look how pretty it is!

There! It's over there!

I'll braid that hair... And put it on the head now...

What have we got here? A doll!

But who do I give it to?...

Maybe I should break it?

What a pity there's no little girl around here! Or else I'd give it to her!

But alas, there's no little girl...

Well, I'll leave it to myself then... And I'll play with it.

Will be my toy then...

What a beautiful little girl! And what's your name?

The Fascist.

The Fascist?

Uh-huh.

...And remember: every person is given a name by God Himself.

Yeah, everybody knows that!

Hello! Hello!

Did you see that! Can you believe it!?

Did you hear what that weirdo did? What?

He baptized the Fascist. You're kidding!

Uh-huh! Called her Anna. Anna?

Yes, after her deceased mother.

We got you now! Give us the doll now!

I won't!

Give it to us or you'll regret it! I won't!

Give it to us now!

Hey you, Fascist, are you nuts?!

I'm not a Fascist, I'm Anna!

Let's go. Let's go... She's lost her mind completely...

Eat that... We've got to eat that now...

Hm... How do I do this? I've got no idea...

Maybe you'll tell the old man, How does one eat that?

You must bite off or slice off a piece!

Really? Come on, then show me! Teach the old know-nothing!

Very good! Show me again so I can remember well!

I've got plenty at home, too! But I'm afraid I can't eat it alone!

Maybe you could help the old man?

Can you turn around? That's good! Stand still!

Where are you heading, dear?

To milk the cow!

Well, you've done a great job washing those floors But I have no cow...

- No cow? - Nope, no cow...

Hm... Well, well!

How do I rub off those stupid letters!

- God help you! Thank you, Avdotya, how are you?

- Let me help you! I'm fine, Avdotya, dear, many thanks!

I'm used to that! Nikitishna gave me that slogan...

I'll wash off those letters and we'll have a skirt for Anna.

What brings you here, dear? Want to talk about something?

Oh, I've got nothing to discuss with you! Don't you think I know what you're going to say to me!

Come on, curse me!

You're a shame in front of all the village!

Maybe you'll adopt my children, too!?

Why not!? Come on, They're also poor and hungry!

They've all only got one pair of boots to share!

When her mother returned from the concentration camp and died,

Who took possession of all that she had!? And I'm supposedly the richest one here,

Yeah, rich with poor children, I am! Ah, it's all useless!

Well, well, Anna, my dear! Turns out we're the guilty party now?

Come on, girl, bring it over here!

Good job, girl! Put it here.

How about going for a walk, Annushka?

...5! ...6! ...7! ...8! Attagirl! ...9! ...10! Boy, these clothes make me sweat!

Good job! Well done!

Hey, Ivan, will you give me me a hand? Spin it, come on!

Zina! What did they come for?

They're asking about the priest.

What do they need our priest for!?

I don't know. Maybe something happened?

Who knows...

Hey, comrade! Hey you, woman! Are you deaf?

I got a "Killed in Battle" notice... a "Killed in Battle" notice...

Where does your priest live?

A "Killed in Battle" notice... But I don't know if it's my husband or son...

Yeah, yeah, I got you! Where does your priest live?

Damn you!

Father Alexander! Father Alexander!!!

Why are you taking father Alexander from us!? We won't let him go with you!

Calm down! Calm down! Calm down you ladies! Calm down!

What's the buzz? Why are you so upset? Why did you bring that pitchfork?

There's no mad cows here, No need for those sticks and pitchforks!

Father Alexander, but why did they come!? What do they want from you!?

Put that stake down now! Put it down, I say!

What a funny fashion to run around with those stakes! How childish of you, ladies, how childish!

Put down that stake, put it down! Come on, Avdotya!

Turns out I haven't taught you what's right! Oh, come on!

I'm going with them to be awarded. They're going to reward me.

Reward you!? What kind of reward is that? Are priests entitled to any rewards?

Turns out we are.

What kind of award is that, father? A medal?

Okay, let's go!

Annushka, what's wrong with you! He'll be back soon!

Annushka, don't cry! It's okay!

Look after my Anna! We will, father, we will!

Whose soul am I to pray for now? Whose?

Pray for me... Pray for me...

- Are priests entitled to medals? - No.

- Well, maybe they are? - But he didn't say anything about medals.

- Go back home, go back home, Annushka!

- Papa... Papa...

- Go back home, Annushka, go back!

- Anna!... Annushka!...

- Anna!... Annushka!...

- Annushka! Annushka!

- Avdotya, let me carry her, you're tired!

- I'm alright!
