There's another car coming

Hold onto her

Marfa, come here

Careful Mum, it's wet

- It doesn't matter - Mum

Why are you so worked up?

- Let me take her - She'll get away again

- Why are they driving round? - They always do

- Why are they driving round? - Let's go

I forbid them to

Stay. Stay

- Stay - Marfa, why are you so worked up?

Lord, this'll give me a heart attack

Marfa, please. See all the cars? Careful

- Give me the suitcase, Nora - I'm taking it, don't argue

Give me your hand

How would you have gone alone?

Lord, what's with this weather?

Calm down, Marfa, be quiet

She wants to go back out

She's just worked up after the trip

Better to look after your old mother

Sorry, Mum, I'll just take my shoes off

Give me that

It's hot in here, but you must be cold

- Mum, I'm fine - Are these my grandson's boots?

And that's his fur coat

Is he already in bed? Won't I see him?

- Didn't you give her a sedative? - I did

- What about in the evening? - No

- You should have. Look how she is

Be quiet, stop it.

Come here, quiet

Marfa, stop it

- Haven't you found them? - No

- Haven't you found them? - No

One minute, I'll find you the good ones Dau smokes

First I'll give Marfa a drink, and then you a smoke

Very well

Did you ring me from this phone?

From the one on the left, that's the external line

I see

Where should I put her bowl?

I'll put it here for now

My sweetheart, you're exhausted

She's just acting a bit crazy

Sweetheart

What a lovely housewife you make

Where's our baby sleeping?

- Up there - Upstairs?

Yes. I don't want to go up until Marfa's calmed down

Your apartment is beautiful

- You're all grown up - I've put on weight?

You've grown up

I've put on weight. I know what you mean

With all the grub you have here

anyone could put on weight

Try the condensed milk, it's very nice

Why's it not in the fridge? It'll go off

- It doesn't have time to go off - No?

- You eat condensed milk? - Yes

- Masses of it - You're mad

- My son-in-law might not last long - Why?

Does he like chubby girls?

Mum

We can sort it out when he's home

Please don't

I'll find out what sort of women he likes

Skinny ones or chubby ones

If he likes chubby girls, then eat your condensed milk

If he likes skinny ones?

I'll have the condensed milk

Right. The bread

What did I want? I'm not thinking straight

- Why not? - I don't know

- Did you sleep badly? - I didn't sleep at all

No wonder you can't think straight then

She's getting the lay of the land

She hasn't made it upstairs yet

She doesn't recognise the smells

I wonder how my grandson will react to the dog

Be quiet! Come here! Stop it

Marfa! Stop it! Don't bark

Don't bark. Stop it, stop it

I thought you'd be back later

I wasn't expecting you

- You thought I'd be later? - I don't know why

You always come back so late

What a life! The caviar's black

the cheese is mouldy, the wine is old

What sort of life is this?

Don't you have any hot water?

Leave, Marfa

Do you want to wash your hands too?

What a life, they say

The wine is old, the caviar is black, the cheese is mouldy

- What a miserable life - Life's tough then?

Do you like Roquefort too?

- What? - Do you like this cheese?

Yes, I do

I adore it

It's what they call a feast for the soul

- Here you go, Mum - Thank you

The cheese is good

-That's good

- I thought Denis was sick - Really?

But I don't think he is now

He just can't sleep. He's hot

- Is he? - It's very hot

It's horrendously hot in there

I put a blanket over the radiator,

it seems a bit better

- I don't like the nanny at all - No?

She's such a bore

Let's get a new one

We'd need to come up with something

Somebody's knocking at the door

Answer it please, the beer's probably here

- What's probably here? - The beer

- Who for? - For Dau. The Zhigulyovskoe beer

- Did you make these dumplings yourself? - Mummy, you've already

I forgot, you said. I've forgotten where the cigarettes are

I think Dau took them, ask him

You'll eat this much, won't you?

I'll follow the trail

Maybe I'll find them

They're nice with vinegar too

- Dumplings? - Yes. Haven't you tried that?

I can't really have vinegar

- I have excess stomach acid - Yes, you can't then

I really like mayonnaise

- But there's vinegar in that as well - I know

- Thank you - Your candles are dripping all over the table

Cheers! Here's to your health, and to your arrival

Thank you

Mum's decided to save our house. Denis drew that

- Really? - It's you and me

Guess which colour you are

That's me

That's me, sorry

He always draws me in red, and you in blue

Are these potatoes for something specific?

That's me, actually

- Nora! - Yes?

What are these chopped potatoes for?

I thought someone might want fried potatoes

Fried potatoes?

You lazybones...

You should have seen how worked up she got today

Where do I put it?

Why?

Everything's so unfamiliar, she had a long trip

Animals aren't used to travelling unless they do it a lot

- Who'll lick the spoon? - No one, Mum

- We don't do that here - Of course not

- I don't want to, thanks - Mum

Let's get rid of this mayonnaise

Mum, you don't have to scrimp like that here

I'm just used to scrimping

Thank you

Now lick it

- I can't - It's very tasty

Mum, please, give over

It's too greasy to wash

- Nora - You like mayonnaise

- Please Dau, eat it - I can't

I'm begging you

- I'm not having mayonnaise now - What a tasty spoonfull

- Mum - Spread it over

I can't wash it otherwise. It's greasy

Shall I wash it?

- Yes - Give it to me

- I'm joking - You're something else, Mum

You're just not up for a laugh

Is it nice to be home now?

- What? - Is it nice to be home now?

Here and now

Yes

- What about you? - Yes

Shall I wake you up at some point tomorrow?

Or will you sleep in?

You could go for a walk with Denis

You've eaten, now your mum and dad are eating

Do you want to sleep?

Do you?

Have you slept already?

- You're our good little boy

You're the best little boy in the world

Auntie

I'm not your auntie, I'm your grandmother

What a lovely doggy

Now I don't have to draw it, hurray

- Who drew that? Daddy? - Yes

Was it daddy who drew you that dog?

- Over there - Yes? It's Marfa, isn't it?

- Yes - Is it Marfa?

- Let's write, "Marfa" - Dog

The dog named Marfa

Let's write that down

Let's go

Catch

I'll catch him

Let's go

- Daddy's a troublemaker! We'll have to carry him up the steps

He can go up on his own! No he can't

His boots are too big he'll fall over

Daddy's gone!

Come in, brush the snow off

- Go in, Marfa

When's your day off?

- It's hard to say - How long have you been working here?

A week

Is it Monday today? So a week, seven days

Lydia Vasilevna had her days off on the 7th and 8th, Mum

No. The 8th and 9th

- Can you hear us? - Every word. I'm not deaf

Is it yummy, right?

Do you like it? Thanks heavens

Teddy says good night

Good night

Who made coffee and didn't drink it?

Nora

- I didn't make coffee - Did you make it for yourself?

No

Did you make coffee? Shall I make some?

The way he draws breaks the pencils

Like this. He breaks all the pencils

Children are strong

I'd love to listen to some opera

There's no music today

It's no good at all without music

Was it your idea to invite her here?

For Mum to come?

Sort of. Yes, it was

- I wanted her to come - Fine

She refused for a long time

For about a month. I just suggested she come

To see the place, and stay for a bit

I'm lonely when you're away. I miss you

I don't want to tell anyone who's here about that

When you leave at five in the morning

I understand

I try to understand

If you'd asked me about it

- About her visit? - I could have

I wanted to, but you

I understand, but

It could have been different

Sorry

He just doesn't see or hear you

He's just here

So what? Did you like being alone?

Better to be alone, than with someone

who doesn't need you

But nobody's flawless

No, but he sees you as a servant

He doesn't even consider you his wife

You're always fussing over him and serving him

And he takes it for granted, like a king

Everyone has their own way of loving, Mum

Think it over. Either change the situation

You change it, Mum. You've come here, so change it

How? I can talk about it to you, but I won't talk to him

But it's my behaviour you have a problem with

- Yes - What should I do?

You just don't love yourself. He loves himself

He felt sleepy, so went to bed

So? I've slept as well

That's not the point

Nothing happens. I've been here two days now

He's just like a blank wall

I don't know. He's just here. Nothing else

He just accepts things

He says "Dumplings are good, so are fritters"

But he doesn't give a damn about you

He doesn't care whether you're here or not

Living such a boring life as the years roll by?

It's better to be alone

He'll be constantly on the move

Always going away on work

And you'll wait by the window. In the candlelight

Go on serving him then

Serve him, wipe his arse

Eventually, he'll find a younger woman

and he'll leave you

He's a genius

- But he hasn't left me - Not yet

It's up to you to decide, it's your destiny

I've decided my destiny, you see how great I look

You see how lonely I am

Do you want the same fate? You grew up and left me

Think about it

Sit him in front of you and say

"Dau, do you love me?"

He'll start hesitating

Mum, don't touch me with that dirty napkin

It's clean, I just folded it

And do you love him?

- Do you love him? - That's my business

- Yes, you're right - Why do you need to know?

- I just wondered - Do you love me?

- Yes. Who else can I love? - Do you love your grandson?

- Of course I do - That's not true

I can't get too close to him. I'm leaving in a few days

When he's older you could have him stay with you

- I could even do that now - Why?

Why are you afraid of getting close to him now then?

If you give him to me now, I'll take him

The radiators are all hot but it's cold in here

There's no warmth within these walls

Was there any in our one-room flat?

Depends how you look at it. Once, there was

How did you look at it?

I'm not sorry for a second, Nora

Instead of living with a man who didn't love me, who betrayed me

I was better off alone

But was it better for me, Mum?

You knew your father. I'm not saying Dau shouldn't see his son

- He'll know his father - But I felt bad then

You could see that

What could I have done? Tie him up and say

- "Don't go because she feels bad" - So you couldn't change anything?

I couldn't

You changed nothing to make it better

How could I? Should I have found another man?

What are you asking of me now? What can I change?

He just thinks about different things

That's what men are like, Mum, they think about work

He thinks about the other women

- Didn't your husband have women? - That's why I left him

So here he comes. Our husband

He's woken up

I don't want to talk about this in front of him

Why? Do you feel uncomfortable?

We don't need a third person in this fight

- Good evening - Evening

- I had such terrible dreams - That must mean something

When you sleep in the day, you always have dreams like that

Do you know what time it is?

About eight

Why are you sad?

She's not sad, she's crying

- Nora, why are you crying? - I'm getting on her nerves

I'm saying you don't have a family life

I'm saying that you don't need her. And she's crying

- Why do you think that? - I can see it

I've been here two days and see you're completely absent

You're here, but not really. You don't love my daughter

You tolerate her

But she's not ugly

Or disabled

She's a beautiful young woman

And she serves you

- Mum! - She serves you

If you don't need her, say so

And you'll part

You don't need this empty mansion

Nothing brings you joy

Neither money nor fame, nothing. You live with the wrong woman

You don't need her

You enjoy yourself. But I've nearly hanged myself these past two days

You went away on work, you have a woman or two

You can't give her any warmth

And you don't want any from her

It's so terribly boring

Mum, you haven't seen that, it's not true

I've seen everything

Not other women. Don't make things up

- I know that he has them - Why should you care?

- I feel bad - But I don't

I don't want that

I don't want him to walk all over you

- How could you know? - For God's sake

I've come, I've interfered, I'll leave

For God's sake, don't do anything

People don't say things like that for God's sake

They only say them for God's sake

Because love is long-suffering

- What love? - Love isn't jealous

Where do you see love? Look at this man

- What does he have to do with it? - You love him

- It's my private life - It's up to you

If you love someone should you demand the same from them?

If you're content with this life, go ahead

I will never visit you

Live as you wish But I don't like it

Don't get upset

Don't get upset

Why get upset? Your mum's an idiot

Let's look at the facts

- Facts? - It's easy just to attack

- What facts? - There's a chance

that you might be wrong

Perhaps something went wrong in your life

and you see others' lives through that

Through my own prism, you're right

If you don't like our life

I respect that and accept that

but it's not your life, it's Nora's

You have the right to an opinion

- But you see her life through your faults - Yes

- Yes - And that's not right

My own life didn't work out. Now history's repeating itself

- Do you understand? - It's not right

The same thing

If I were in your shoes, I'd never act like this

It's called speaking your mind

Don't cry, please

- I'm such an idiot - That's not true

You said what you thought was right, now let it go

I did

You're just tired

Yes, I'm tired of this life

It wasn't interesting for me, it isn't interesting for you

And I don't want that

Dau's right, you see it from your own perspective

I see things more clearly than you do

Understanding comes through a lot of pain

I went through real pain, and I don't want you to too

I don't want that

I didn't find you in a rubbish heap

I wanted you to be the happiest person

Happier than me at least

I don't want to talk anymore

Forgive me if you don't like it here

You should forgive me for sticking my oar in

No-one's dearer to me than you

No-one

I don't want my child to have the same childhood as me

Do you think I felt good?

I felt bad too

But you adored your daddy

I still do

You did, because

he didn't beat you, didn't teach you

- He loved me - Loved you?

- Yes - Just like Dau loves you

Exactly

When I told him his daughter missed him

and asked him to come visit

he had no time. May he rest in peace

Yes, he loved you

He always came when I called him

Did he really? Remember

You'd say, "Daddy has forgotten me"

Have you forgotten?

- He did forget about me - Yes

And you still love him

But I was nobody to you

Not a role-model

I only had one dress

And two pairs of knickers

I had to feed you, educate you

So you wouldn't be an outcast in this state

In this country

Now you find love

You believe he's your soulmate

And you are blind

How can I live without belief?

What if your soulmate doesn't feel the same?

I can make him

Go on then. Is that possible?

He can't even brush his hair

That's a small thing

A person is made of small things

Don't ever say that again

You think the same, because you're crying

You cry because it hurts

You know I'm right. That's why you cry

What truth is there in what you say?

You'd rather hate me than cry

Because I say such terrible things

Nobody talks like this to each other

Nobody talks like this to each other

Not even the best of friends

But I say them to you

Remember what happened with Vitya?

Why did you do that?

Why did you do that?

Because I was drunk

I wasn't sober

I drank because I lost your father

I didn't care who I fucked

But you knew I was seeing him

You weren't then

- You'd split up - That's not true

- It is - Why was I looking for him then?

He was looking for you

And I was looking for him, but I couldn't find him

He robbed me, in the end

Pass the matches

He robbed me in the end

- Who were you looking for? - Who did you sleep with?

- He was nothing - Why then?

I've told you, I was drunk

I didn't care who I slept with, I didn't want to be alone

I wanted to love, do you understand?

I wanted to be loved

See, the men are clearing everything up

Cleaning everything

Soon spring will come

Everything will be so green. Everywhere. Except here

This is for you

It's a dress

I think so, of course

And this is for you

- Thank you - It's a summer dress

You're curious, aren't you?

You're curious, aren't you?

It can't be a dress, it's something more

- Look at that - Well?

- Look at that - Well?

Just look at that

A fox for a foxy lady

And here's some money for next week

So my girls can go to the cinema

- To the theatre - And to a restaurant

- And a restaurant too - Thank you

Elegant!

Careful

Don't injure yourself

With these presents you can be forgiven...

Sit on the horse, I want to take a picture

- Your mum is right - Yes

Sit on it

- Don't be sarcastic

- I'm not, just saying

Show us your leg

Take that off

That animal

Lift your other hand. Good

- Show us your leg - May I suggest something?

I say we all get dressed up and

go and surprise our neighbours

- All three of us - Mum

- Me too? - Of course. The three of us

- Why do you need me? - I won't go without my two ladies

You haven't seen our neighbours' house

I'll go in my new fur coat

My new fur coat

Roll it down a bit

Don't do that, Nora

What shouldn't I do?

I'll tell you later

Do you like the idea?

Of course

I'd like a hat like this

- I like it so much - You are insatiable

Don't tempt me

I won't stop

I think I have a cold

Stop it

You can sleep tomorrow

I'm not going in this dress

It's a day dress

The belt is too tight

Why have you pulled it like that? To have a waist like mine?

- I always want to look like you - You always compete

Yes, petty rivalry

No, it's a day dress

It doesn't suit your character. Though the colour does

I'm not going, I haven't brought any dresses

That black dress is wonderful

- No - Yes

It's too short

Marfa, do you want some wine?

Alright

It's not beer But it's tasty too

Marfa. Do you know who drinks beer?

The people over there Our neighbours. Drink up

This is wine

Don't hold back. I see you licking your lips

Drink wine with me

At least someone must drink with me today

That's what I'm talking about

Bless you, Marfa

Do you know where the matches are?

I'll bring you some

Why did you take the flowers off the table?

It wasn't me

Everyone but me runs this house

Perhaps that's how it should be

That's what the doctor prescribed

Nobody can see them behind there

Maybe

not everyone will see them

Why are you so down?

What can't you get over?

Sit down, please

I don't love him

You can fuck without love

You said you loved him and would fight for him

But today you say you don't love him

and you don't want to sleep

in the same bed as him

You contradict yourself

He won't decide anything until you do

He doesn't know what to do. Now you love him, now you don't

He's not a toy. He's a man

- Mum, do you think I love you? - I don't think so

You don't love me

When I die, you'll weep by my coffin

You'll call out "Mummy"

You'll understand, but only after I'm gone

That I was the only one who loved you. Madly

The only way you can love a daughter

And why do you think I don't love you?

Because I tell you the truth

I restrain your whims

and your unjustified emotions

It hurts and irritates you because you're an adult already

I keep commanding you

I'm always punishing you. It's too late to beat you

So I punish you verbally, which hurts

Then time passes, and you see I'm right

That's what always happens

I know you don't love me

and it's painful

Very painful

- And what do you think? - I didn't deserve it

I don't need you to be

grateful every day until I die

I don't want that. You can live your life as you wish

But it hurts me that you don't love me

When your own child grows up

and also declares, "Mum, I don't love you"

It's like being stabbed in the heart

But since you've done it many times, I've adapted to it

It doesn't hurt me anymore, I'm just dead

I'm living out my life because I'm living without love

I feel nothing

So much the worse for you

You need to work out

what you need in this life

Love

Love? But what if you don't have it

- I don't - Do you have it?

No

I gave birth to a defective child

Or brought you up defective

- Forgive me. I meant well - I can't forgive you

- No? - I can't

Shall I kill myself then?

Do I hinder you so much?

I'll go away

- And we'll never meet again - I was excited to see you

But I don't love you

- Really? - Yes

What should I do then?

Why do you ask me?

Should I leave right now?

What bothers you more?

That I don't love you or that you don't feel anything either?

You've said you don't love me so many times

I've turned to stone

- I've wept all I can - You're playing

I'm always playing. That's my nature. It's easier like that

Did you prefer to see me crying?

When I wept and begged for your love?

- You didn't beg for my love - What then?

When you wept you called me beast, bitch, bastard

- The three B's - And viper

No

Viper was an afterthought

But you drove me crazy

You left on a train with a stranger

- No call. Nothing - That was later

And before?

Before that I heard "bastard, bitch, beast and viper" every day

Why did you live with me then? You had a choice

- I didn't - You could've gone to your father

Your granny was still alive

They had a three-room flat, unlike our one room

Because Granny liked to breed cockroaches

What cockroaches?

Even when I left you with my mum for the summer holidays

you'd run after the car crying, "Don't leave me"

So you'd spend your summer with granny

I'd have to join you for my holiday too

Do you remember? You don't remember anything

I remember I was going home And you wouldn't come

Why was that?

Your daddy was with his mistress

It was my birthday. I'd bought lots of things

They were so heavy, my brain was coming out my ears

and I met your dad, out with his mistress

I became hysterical

I didn't want to live

How did you have jealousy but not love?

I did have love

You say I didn't love your father

- You didn't - But of course

So you say

Can you see into my heart?

Why do you think you have the right to say such things to me?

You're always saying I, me, me

We're talking, there's a dialogue

You and me, right?

There's no use for "they" and "we"

I'm talking about you and me. Understand?

- You were talking about Dad - What about him?

- Saying you loved him - I did love him

I still do. There's not a single man near me

- It's not because of that - Why then?

You don't need them

Not now, but I used to

You couldn't wash their clothes or anything

If I loved another person, I'd do all that

Like I did for your father

Your father wore white shirts, ties and suits

And with his mistress, he looked like a pickpocket

She was wise

My wisdom left me back in the cradle

What can I do?

Your mother's daft. An idiot

Aren't you hot in that fur coat?

Are you upset I took your collar? Take it back

It's yours

"I don't love, I don't love"

Millions of people live without love

They're wretched

But they're alright

They don't feel anything

They don't feel pain, because they don't care

But you're weeping, so you do love someone

- No - Why are you weeping then?

I want to

Why? If you were just a bimbo

You're not listening Mum

Fuck off, idiot

Sickening fool. I've had enough of your hysterics

Always with a snotty nose, everything's bad for her

"This is bad, that's bad"

Never satisfied

Her best years passing her by

She's still without love

She doesn't love herself, her mum or men

Why the fuck are you wasting your life?

The same old story

Always complaining I don't listen

I don't know what to listen to

When will this execution end?

You're always reproaching me. I say the wrong things

I stand wrong, I sit wrong and you say I'm playing

Yes, I'm playing. I have been my whole life

Life's a stage, don't you know?

And people are actors, don't you know that either?

Of course, you don't know anything

You're just an angel in human form

An angel

Mum, you're a fake

I've been a fake my whole life

Your dad used to count my cliches

I'm a doll, a living doll

And you've beaten out of me everything that can be called love

Everything

So there's no me. I'm here, you have to take me as I am

I tolerate you, my little treasure

- Yes - I carried you for 9 months

I've heard that before

I'm an artificial woman, a doll

You've paused for so long, maybe you'll hit me?

- No - Why not? You can

- Yes - Go on, hit me

- No - And I'll hit you

Till we're black and blue

I know that's no big deal for you

What a daughter

I had to come all this way

I thought you'd come to your senses

But you've kept all that shit in your head

Poor thing

Do you see it like that?

I hear it as well

I hear it

What do you want from me?

I'll leave tomorrow if you want

No

You want to go on like this?

You're afraid to confront Dau

but a lot of shit's built up

- I'm not afraid of him - Yes, you are

You're just his servant

My father used to say I was good for nothing

And so I was

I called my daughter beast, bitch, bastard

I was simply a good for nothing

A good for nothing

I didn't have anything to be good for

Watch the candle

Your coat

Decide if you want to see me or not

and next time you invite me to visit

think whether you really want that

If you need to throw your shit at me

and offload on me

I can do without that

Mum, forgive me

For God's sake, of course I'll forgive you

I'd forgive you even if you ground my face in shit

- I don't know how - I've already told you

Until you let go of the three B's

it'll be this hard for you. Let it go

Give it away

I just feel so lonely

No man will put up with you. You're unbearable

You're such a bore

You're dull

You're a crematorium, you bury what can be brought back to life

You're unbearable to be around

She has a child, she has a husband, and she's lonely

A beautiful and healthy woman, always depressed

Depressed

Go and look at yourself in the mirror

When you're my age, there'll be nothing to look at

And how depressed I become because of the daughter I have

She has a nanny, a fur coat

She's waited on hand and foot You never do anything

And that's why you're going crazy

Oh God

What I'm telling you this for? You're not listening to me

You'll wake up the child

I only came because you were writing me anxious letters

about him cheating on you and his mistresses

Have you been to his lab? Does he have many mistresses there?

Stop pacing about, sit down

What are you suffering from now?

Tell me

- I can't - Why?

That's what you asked me to come here for

I asked you to come because

I thought it would be interesting for you

What did you think would impress me?

I thought I did love

- Who? - Both you and him

It's just your mood you'll love again

both him and me

I thought that if you didn't want me to come

and he didn't want to stay

- I just can't - Where didn't he want to stay?

He doesn't want to stay here

I don't know. He doesn't want to

He's bored of you

Bored

Mum, don't

I don't like you now, I'm telling you that honestly

What if you see it?

See what?

- Is it difficult to say? -No

Why are you silent? These pauses

Talk to me

I'll forgive you everything

I don't know

what to talk about or what you want from me

What kind of help do you need?

What kind, daughter?

Tell your mum

What kind of help? I'll give you my hands, please

You don't need me at all

You'd rather push me into shit than ask for help

I'm not an authority to you

I'm nobody to you

I'm crap to you

That's why you suffer

Sit down, for God's sake

And stop making a scene

Mum, you can't leave like this

What am I going to do?

Wash the floors in your mansion

That'll cure you

What should you do

It's all in vain

Sit down, please

I'm asking you to sit down

I'm ashamed

I don't want this

What have you done to be ashamed of?

Sit down, please. And calm down

Come here, my darling

- Mum, I'm so ashamed - Of what, my kitten?

Don't, please, or I'll start weeping now

- Forgive me - What for?

I'll always forgive you

- I love you - Forgive me

I'll always forgive you. Calm down. I love you

Mummy, my beloved mummy

- Forgive me please - Calm down

Please, don't get hysterical

- Forgive me - Calm down, you fool

Forgive me, I don't know how

What's up with you?

I told you to calm down

Or I'll hit you

You animal

Get out

First she insults me, then she asks forgiveness

- Am I a fucking floor cloth? - No

If you don't respect your mother, you won't respect yourself

I respect you

You don't respect me

I'm dog shit to you

God, why did I come?

What do you need me for? Why do you torment me?

Your hysteria will land you in an asylum

- No - What do you mean, "No"?

First you offend me, then you hurt me

I'll forgive it all

You can't test me all the time

Do you think I'm made of stone?

I can't be crap all the time

I was crap for my father, I was crap for my husband

I'm crap for my child

Now the fourth generation is growing up, and I'll be crap there as well

because you'll tell your son that I'm crap

No

You don't love or forgive

because of three B's and a V

Beast, bitch, bastard and viper

Nora, these sessions will kill me

You're killing me

Do you want to send me to an early grave?

He doesn't love me anyway

- Who? - Him

You don't love him or he doesn't love you?

I love him

You love him now. You need to decide

- You don't love me - It hurts

- It does, my daughter - I'm not a servant

But you serve him. Change

Do some work. Look after your child

- I'm not a servant - You're not, but you want to be one

I don't

God

You can't be like this

and stay healthy

I'm not a servant, Mum

So don't be. You have servants

- A nanny, a housemaid - But I love him

Who do you love?

Who should he love? All this?

All this sobbing and weeping?

I'm not weeping all the time, otherwise I'd have to pay fines

Does he fine you?

- He fines me for bad moods - Wipe under your eyes

Get me a napkin, please

My glasses

Get me one too, my glasses are all tear-stained

Take your furs

Are you cold?

- But you're cold too - No, the chat has heated me up

I don't want furs or anything

Do you mind if I leave you for a second?

Excuse me a minute

Are you cold? Shall I get a shawl?

Sit with me

Fine. You won't fall asleep?

- Have you taken a tablet? - Yes

- That was quick - My glass

already had water in

My daughter, you're cold, let me bring you a shawl

Maybe you want to lie down, Mum?

I don't

We'll go to sleep soon

You need to rest. You don't sleep well?

- Do you have insomnia? - No. Somnia

Somnia?

You'll live, then. Everything will be fine

Everything will be perfect

You're my beloved

My best and only girl in the world

The most beautiful

No matter what they say

If they say something bad, then it's not true

- I like that - Yes

Say, "That's not true, my mum said so"

"I'm the best"

You know I've always told you that

My daughter

When will we go on a spending spree, Mum?

- A spending spree? - Yes

We'll go to Crimea and have one

- Do you have a lot of money? - Have you forgotten about our present?

One hundred

- Is that all? - 175 rubles

How much more is in your bag?

As much as we can take

- And you say he upsets you - Not any more

How little you need to find happiness

Stop it, he's a good man

Accept him the way he is

And he'll learn to accept you the way you are

- We'll see - Everything will be fine

Do you know where he is?

Mum

Will you eat with me, Mummy?

I so dislike eating alone

Some sour cream?

Yes !

- Garlic? - No

I dont want any.

- Are you afraid Dau will come?

- I am.

We'll give him some to eat too.

Some garlic

So life doesn't seem too sweet to him

So life doesn't seem too sweet to him
