Hey, Sofron, come here!

Hey, Ignat. How are you? Where are you going?

Looking for you

Are you hiding from me?

Me? Hiding from you? I'm all here

I've been busy

This construction is never going to end

And my wife nags me all the time. Bring this, bring that, do this and such

So how about you?

When are you going to return the money you lent?

Oh, about that...

Actually, I was going to...

but, you know, I live too far from you. It will take a half day just to get to your place

Don't worry! I'll give it back!

I'm here. You can give it to me now

I want to go to the shop on the way home

Ah, I see

but...

my wife is at home now. I can't just barge in and ask for money

She'll nag me what this money for.

I will give it tomorrow, OK?

Hey! That's not fair!

Ouch, that hurts! Take it easy!

What are you talking about, huh?!

Calm down! It just a couple of hundreds rubles!

Give it now! You promised to return it a month ago!

Lay off me!

What's matter? Ok, do you want it right now?

Go home and bring my money!

Wait here!

That's not fair at all...

Here it is.

Because of you, my wife is going to yell at me again

You are pathetic

You can't even manage your wife

Hey, watch what you say!

Ignat!

Watch what you say!

Are you listening to me?

Screw you...

Hey, what’s going on? Is it your blood?

What happened?

What happened to you?

Is it your blood?

No, not mine. Get away!

Then whose blood is it?

They got me...

Sit down and tell me!

Go away!

Stop! What’s wrong?

I’m calling the police!

Where are my clothes?

I’m calling the police

No! Don’t do this!

Where are my clothes?

Wait! Where are you going?

Come here!

Stop, Mikhail! Stop!

Come here!

Mikhail, stop it!

Come here!

Let's go

You!

Do you know what has your son done? Do you know whom you raised?

Calm down, sister. Calm down...

You raised a killer!

What have my son done?

What have my son done?

What have your son done?

Look! Look what he has done!

Sister, calm down. Please

Ignat!

Wait

Your son has done a terrible thing

An hour ago he crushed a man to death by a tractor

They were drinking at the garage near the boiler

and they wanted more booze

He got on the tractor and

started backing up

At the same time Mikhail’s son, Kirill, was going to a toilet

He didn't see him and the tractor crushed the Kirill

Then

Your son dragged the Mikhail's son to a garage for help

He was still breathing

Your son called me for help

I came there fast

and found out that your son already ran away

And that’s good that he ran away

Mikhail came... his face was pale

if your son hadn’t run away he would have killed him...

Otherwise there would've been another murder

Ignat, go home and rest

Talk to your son and keep him calm

Right now he shouldn't run around and make things worse

Did you open the gates?

Yes, I did

Did you start the tractor or it has been running?

I started it

Did you check the mirrors?

Yes, it seemed that nobody was there

How much did you drink?

Three bottles of vodka

Didn't you feel a sudden bump while backing up?

Nothing

Good evening, Semenovich

Evening, Ignat!

Well...

I think you have already heard the news

Yes, I heard

I'm going to take your son to a police station

No, you can't do it

Leave him here

Let him spend a night at home

I will take him to you tomorrow morning, OK?

OK?

It doesn't work like that

Please…

I have to do it

Leave him…

He is my only son!

I have to...

Please, don't take him

Can't do it. It's my job to take him

Don't take him

Leave

No

He's coming with me

I have to take him!

Let’s go!

Move away. Move

Leave him...

No! What is wrong with you? Where is your jacket?

Leave him… Leave

Please leave him

Enough, old man!

Please leave him

Enough

Let’s go!

That's not fair...

Oh, why? Is this my punishment?!

They took my son!

Quiet! Sleeping

When I came back from Mikhail's, my son was already being interrogated by Semenovich.

I know

I was begging him to leave my son…

but he didn’t listen to me

He took away my son as if he was a some kind of a criminal

We need to publicize such a terrible crime

because it’s our job

Last night

we told them

and they took him away to the regional police center

What?!

Unfortunately, it is an involuntary manslaughter

Calm down and don’t be afraid

The court will decide whether he is guilty or not

As far as I know, it’s a negligent homicide

We all know him

We are all from one village

Then borrow me your horse

I want to go to the city in the morning

I do not want to leave him all alone

Go home and get some sleep!

I'm not giving you my horse

Want me to go on foot?

Don't talk nonsense

You’ll freeze to death

It’s not your fault

It’s life. Things happen

You have to be strong

What?

For your son

They will decide

What should I do?

It’s not your fault

Go home and rest

For the sake of your son

Pray and think it over

Get your thoughts together

It’s not fair

Old man!

Give me a cigarette

Get lost!

Old fart

Why are you here?

My old man can’t stop drinking

Trying to drown it in a bottle

My only son is gone

We were supposed to be grandparents

But no!

Go away!

Why do you keep coming back?

To laugh at us? Why?

Get out!

Hey, old man! Give me a cig!

What?

I said give me some smoke!

Watch out, creep!

Hey, what do you want?

Leave me alone!

I'm gonna kill you, creep!

Have you been to Mikhail’s?

Yes, I have

What for?

On the way home

He is still a mess

II’m thinking of sending him away

But I’m worried for his wife

Recommend him to a lumberjack team,

maybe he’ll stop drinking

You really think they would take him?

Don’t need to be smart to cut trees

What about yourself?

Me?

I’m carving wooden jewelry boxes

That's what I'm doing all day long

I've made a whole sack of boxes

But nobody buys them

So what about my son?

There will be a trial soon

They’ve invited witnesses to come

Why didn’t you tell me?

I could have visited him too

You aren’t a witness, that’s why

"Not a witness" you say…

I’m sick of staying here

and being an eyesore for everybody

You want to go there in these rags?

You look like a tramp

What a shame!

It’s none of your business!

What do you want?

Do you have meat?

Of course

Beef, pork, or foal meat?

Beef

Do you have money?

Yes, sure

How much you want?

For all the money I have

All right. Wait here

I brought some meat

Get out!

I’ve cut the meat

At least you can make some soup

You again!

Stop!

Your son hanged himself

Everybody knows except for you

Don’t lie

If you don't believe me it’s your right

Sit here and wait forever

It’s not fair

Go move some snow in the yard

Stop drinking!

Pig!

I met a very nice girl, dad

I walked her home

It was magic

You’ve quit smoking, eh?

Yes. So what?

What happened to you?

None of your business!

You’re always hanging around the shop,

aren't you supposed to be in school?

My mom is drinking

Are you Egor Afanasiev’s son?

I don't have a father!

Bullshit

Let’s go

Where?

To your place. Where do you live?

Let me go!

Get your stuff

Why?

You're coming with me

Where?

Are you stupid?

Let’s go, or you prefer to stay here?

No...

Then get your stuff

Is it all?

Yeah, it is

How long has your mother been drinking?

For a long time

Sometimes she stops,

but then her friends show up,

and it starts all over again

Someday I'm going to kill them all

Kill who?

Alcoholics

What’s your name?

Chipmunk

Why not? At least not a Wolf

Eat well

Do you live alone?

Alone

You are strange

Lonely, nervous

You're not a pedophile, are you?

My conscience is clear

It should suck to be old and lonely

Are you crying?

God please help

Help his mother to find her way

I'm praying to you

Please help

What are you doing?

You must be real nuts

Do not say so

I’ve seen a lot in my life

It’s not my fault that I’m alone

I had a wife, children…

I lived in good conscience,

and will live that way

And you do whatever you want

Go home tomorrow

What’s wrong?

It’s cold! What are you doing, creep?

Get up!

Have some breakfast and leave

What are you doing today?

Mind your own business

Have some tea

Here's your clothes

Where should I go?

Back to the store?

Wherever. It’s not my concern

I can chop firewood

and do the dishes

I can do it myself

You have your own home

And I have mine

You live alone anyway

No one cares about you

Get out of here!

Creep!

You must do what I say.

I will

You shall not touch my things

and you will pray with me

Can't we do it without praying?

Then go away

Old man,

what if somebody asks who am I?

Come here

What?

Come here

What are we going to do?

Ask for something

For what?

Whatever you want

How do you do

May I…

What now?

That’s it.

Come in

Here you are!

Let’s go home!

Good evening, Ignat.

Good evening

How are you?

Stop ‘How-are-you’ -ing!!!

I'm taking back my son!

He beat me up!

Stop it!

Calm down! Get out of here and wait outside!

Ignat, you see..

She filed a report,

claims that somebody beat her up

and took away her son

You must return the child

She is lying. I didn't beat her

Tell her to stop accusing people,

maybe she hurt herself when drunk

Her house is always full of drinkers

She never cared for her son,

he's dressed in rags and skips school,

hangs around the shop like a beggar!

Ignat, you must understand...

I will not give you the boy! Arrest me!

I’m just doing my job

We came here to bring back my son!

Quiet!

You don't let us talk!

MOM! GO AWAY!

GO HOME!

You should let him go with his mother

Get out of here! The child stays!

You heard him, wait outside

Ignat, we’ll finish this talk later

What?

Who lives here?

A man

Of course, a man, not some chipmunk

Chipmunks live with those who are nuts

OK, let’s go home and heat the stove

Chipmunk, what are you praying for?

Nothing special

Ask for some meat and fish

Hey, why are you here?

Go home

Once me and boys broke into a store

Just got in and stole some things

I hid some biscuits under the pillow.

But my friend...

He put them into the fridge

and that’s why we were caught

Stolen food is never tasty

It’s your own sweat that makes it tasty

See that bag?

So what?

Carved boxes

The boxes.

Who made them?

Me

Sell them, and buy tons of biscuits

We running out of butter

And we have an order for a shelf

Sleep now

What are those jars for?

To make you smarter

Come on in

Do you have more?

No

How are we going to live from now on?

As we did before

As we did before? How is that?

I lost my only son

Give me 50,000 rubles!

Don't talk nonsense

You know me

I don't have money.

I can give you my horse

Give it then!

It’s in the field now

Don't mess with me! I want it now!

Stop!

You’ll have it in 3 days

Get out!

It's not fair

Should've castrated the horse in summer

Could've ridden it since

Should we ask for help in the village?

Where is our village?

Over there

No, our village is there

You’re not a navigator, are you?

Don't even know where you came from

But I've never been to the woods

Kids never go to the woods nowadays

As a kid, I almost lived there

I remember we were looking for a horse

There were 3 of us and me the youngest

We split up to cover more ground

I ran into the horse we were looking for

But it ran away from me

I chased it and tried calling it

It kept running and we came to a lake

Trying to ambush it I fell in mud

It was a quagmire. I was so scared

I yelled for help and cried

No one was around

It was getting dark and cold as hell

I didn’t feel my feet

The horse came around and was grazing

I called it and it suddenly approached

I grabbed its mane and it pulled me up

I left my boots in that quagmire

We returned to our village at midnight

I was so cold I had to go to hospital

Was that horse smart?

Sure, not like ours! Always runs away

Meal is ready, have some

Where is our village?

Over there

Do you remember the way we came?

We passed a forest, a lake, and a hill

Go back home the same way

Put the kettle on, have some hot tea

Why? May I stay with you

You are a chipmunk, right?

Chipmunks never stray too far from home

Go home, get warm, drink some tea

I'm staying here

Go home

I'll look around and then catch you up

Go

Shall I bring some water?

How are you doing?

I’m fine

I got a cleaning job at an office

Good

How’s the boy?

He’s fine and I think he’s quit smoking

He needs an eye, or he’ll go downstream

How’s your leg?

My leg is fine

Take your son. He needs a mother

He started to help around the house

I'll take this shirt and finish it at home

I couldn’t find my horse

This is grandfather’s knife

It’s made of good steel

You can take it, if you want

Hi!

Hi!

How are you guys?

We’re fine, thanks

My mom finished sewing your shirt

Also, someone is waiting for you

I let her in, hope you don’t mind

No, it’s OK. But who is it?

Go inside and you’ll see

Bye!

How long have you been waiting?

Two years

No, I mean, how long did you wait here?

Ah, here - about an hour

What is it?

Nothing, got my shirt sewn

Let’s have a look

Here

Have you made it yourself?

Yes

Looks great

So, I have a shirt; this is my home

At nights, I carve wooden boxes

I have three mares,

and a horse

But I couldn’t find it

I think someone has stolen it

Will you marry me?

And what do you think?

Let’s go then

Let’s go

Are you tired?

No, I’m not

You still haven’t given me a single box

When I find the best material,

I will make a jewelry box for you

Do you make it all by yourself?

By myself

I have a daughter and two grandkids

You’ll meet when they come for New Year

How are we going to live?

We will support each other

Have you seen real me? They say I’m nuts

I’ve seen real you. You are not crazy

People will laugh, we’re too old to marry

No, they only might be jealous

For you married such a beautiful woman

Ok, let’s go to sleep

Have a smoke, and I'll make the bed

Ignat would always sit by the stove

making his jewelry boxes

This house was built in 1960s

Ignat was a good man

We talked about everything

He was very knowledgeable

What do we do now?

What to we do now?
