Knock it off!

Hey, knock it off!

Katya...

- Dammit Kostya! - I pray at your knees...

And what do you do at Masha's knees?

- Get lost! - Katya!

My lovely knees!

What was that for?

You shouldn't hit me,

you should love me! - Excuse me, sir!

Katya!

- Well? - Right, sorry.

Katya!

- How much? - The price we agreed on.

BASED ON DON'T PART FROM THOSE YOU LOVE A PLAY BY ALEXANDER VOLODIN

Hello. Hello.

- Begovaya Street for 300. - Get in.

ANOTHER YEAR

December 27th

Moz, are you back?

- What is it? - The zip.

- Here, let me... - No, I just need to pull it harder.

- It's time to throw it out. - Hold on!

- Is there anything to eat? - Sausages.

Not bad.

Crap, Sukhanov is going to kill me today.

- He's an idiot, right? - No, I am. I haven't come up with anything.

I need a load of images you'd want to click on.

Here, take a look.

Which one would you want to click on most?

This one or this one?

- The first one. - This one?

Really?

Zhenya, let's go and lie down for a bit.

How are these tights?

They're fine.

Come and lie down...

Just a second.

God, what a comfy ass!

- It's fat, right? - No!

It's like it's made

for lying on.

Yes.

Yeah, I know. I'm rushing like crazy.

OK, fine. Bye.

Moz, I have to go.

I'm late.

Let me go! I really am late!

Right, that's enough.

Bye. Put your ass back here right now.

- Give me my leg back. - Bring back your ass.

You took the bigger one after all?

Andrei, I find it easier, I swear.

- I'll just finish this... - What's Darth Vader got to do with?

Masha said it would be funny. A paradox.

- It's not relevant. - Why isn't it relevant, Andrei?

Why?

You know about the eternally popular trio?

Darth Vader, Hitler and Viktor Tsoy. The three, got it?

- Zhenya. - Huh?

Can you make a collage like that?

Only, instead of the biscuits, put Hitler here and Tsoy here.

- Not funny. - You don't think that's funny?

- No, I don't think so. - Why?

I think there's someone who doesn't like my Darth Vader.

You're wrong. Andrei doesn't like him.

Masha, we all think he's glorious.

- Everyone likes Darth Vader. - I don't know.

Masha, could you come over for a second? I just don't know what is best.

Look here.

Should I leave this here so the black goes up to the end?

No, colour this part...

- Black? - Yes, so it's solid black.

And here add some shadows to make it a bit 3D.

- And do you like these bits? - Yes.

- And should I add some more? - Yes.

- Maybe one here... - OK.

Show me when you're done, all right?

You didn't have to ask.

Roma!

Where are you off to? Have you finished with Depardieu?

Sukhanov, stop bugging me! I'll have it complete in 10 minutes.

- Is the Depardieu picture ready? - Yeah.

We have the Darth Vader, boss.

No, Roma. Darth Vader is for the president's address.

Depardieu is finished.

- Zhenya? - Yeah?

- Check it out. - What?

The link.

Depardieu is finished!

- Where are your men's jackets? - Please follow me.

- Winter jackets? - Yes.

Do you have a sale on?

Yes, they're all on sale. It's all marked on the tags. Here you are.

Do you have anything that isn't blue or black?

- There's this sandy colour. - No, I'd rather blue or black.

- Stop it. - And there's mustard colour as well.

Let's look at that one. Or this one, look.

It's short, like you wanted.

It's quite light as it's 20% lint cotton.

- The rest is feather. - That one is also long.

I like these short ones, you see.

Then I think the sandy one will do.

I really like the blue and brown one.

Look for the tag on the sleeve. I really like it. It's so cool.

7,140 rubles with the discount.

- Oh, look how cool that yellow one is! - I hate yellow.

Let's get it. I love the colour.

The whole Moscow wears black, nobody wears yellow.

First of all, it's long. Secondly, it's yellow!

Moz, you're such a pain. What's wrong with yellow? It's a nice colour.

- I hate it. - I'd understand if it was pink...

- I don't like yellow, I don't like red or blue.

- I don't want this traffic lights. - Yellow is nice. Try it on?

Let's keep looking.

- Try the yellow one. - I don't want to!

- I'm serious. - Let's go!

- Where? - There's more over there...

It's a good shop. I bought mine here.

- I like this shop. - You like it, I don't.

Where are you going?

I won't go there.

- Buy yourself something instead. - I don't want to buy anything.

Look, they have jackets here too.

Shirts... I like this shirt with the buttons. Do you like it?

Maybe we should get you a shirt, so you have at least one.

Have a look! Where are you going? They're jackets

This one.

Let's get it and we'll be done.

You look like a security guard.

Security guards wear black. Actually, do they have it in black?

I like it.

- I'm happy with it. - Buy it.

Fine. Let's go?

December 28th

Right, I'll beat it and you sweep it.

- Go ahead, whack it. - Whack it?

- Yegor! - You stay under the carpet.

Yegor, it's dirty!

I'll roll you up and you can stay there until spring.

Climb out! Why have you crawled in there?

Come on...

- Now I've got snow down there. - Where?

Where? Where? Where is the snow?

Easy, easy!

- Now I'll roll you in for good! - Don't!

- Stop it! I was just joking, dammit! - No way!

My revenge will be terrible!

Ow, the brush!

Let me go!

All right, get up.

Come on!

- Here, take these gloves. Put these on. - Why?

- So your hands don't freeze. - They're already frozen.

Take the brush.

Tomorrow kids will come here and eat that snow.

What?

- Did you hear that? - Don't pay attention.

Don't talk to her.

There's the playground, just nearby.

The playground is just nearby.

How should I sweep it? Like this?

Hold on, hold on!

- What? - That was the wrong thing to do.

- It's broken - No, not at all. Wait, Zhenya!

Why do you need it?

And what the hell is this?

Do you even know what this is?

I know what it is, but what do you need it for?

It's older than you. You know that?

Yeah, I can tell. Moz!

Hey, you want to throw away all my stuff, do you? I don't get it.

The zip's broken. I'll wear it when fixing the car.

Maybe we shouldn't throw this clementine peel out either?

- You'll sniff it before bed, right? - You can chuck that.

Can I?

Zhenya, is ginger a fish?

Are you kidding? It comes from a plant.

Can't you taste that?

It tastes like fish to me.

Wikipedia definitely says that ginger

is an ancient Japanese fish.

The Japanese have marinated their ginger fish.

Are you kidding me right now?

Zhenya, you should be embarrassed.

Marinating wild sea ginger dates back

to the ancient samurai dynasties.

- What? - Just so you know.

That's what it says on Wikipedia.

I'm going to see for myself

what your Wikipedia says.

It's definitely a plant, I'm telling you.

Right.

Are you playing your jokes on me again?

- Moz! - What?

Why did you do that?

- You're so serious. - You bloody mozzie!

- Want me to do something nice to you? - No, not like this.

- It would be awesome. - No.

- Let me kiss you on your little ear. - No.

- Come on. - No!

No.

- Let me kiss your armpit. - No!

December 29th

I wanted to ask you, what are your plans for New Year's?

- What are my plans? - Yes.

- I dunno, I'll be at home... - Right, so this is the plan.

We are going to get together at my dacha in Ivanovskoe.

- Awesome! Is that far? - No, not at all. We'll all drive there.

- My husband has a car. - Great.

So you'll take your husband and the car.

You need to spend some time with us,

you're new. You need to be part of the team.

Yeah, I really want to come, actually. I'll talk to him.

- Great. - Brilliant!

Can't we just for once in our lives do something different?

No.

Moz, it s like you're 70 years old!

You spend every New Year's with the same friends.

You have your inside jokes and stuff. I'm not part of that.

We have fun the same way as everyone else. It will be awesome!

A whole house, a Christmas tree in the garden, a sauna!

Sauna in the morning, we'll watch a movie in the evening.

They have a projector instead of a TV.

Zhenya, I'm telling you, go if you want to.

I'll stay at home. I've invited people round.

Just cancel. No big deal!

You're all fired up about this.

I'm telling you, you go and have fun there if you want.

Dammit, Moz, I want to go with you.

Stay with me then.

December 30th

Hello.

Yes, I'm here, outside.

No, I'm not coming up.

No, I'm not coming up, I tell you.

Just be quick and come down.

Moz, you came!

This is Roma, our photoeditor.

- This is Yegor. - Nice to meet you.

My Yegor!

People, people! Roma! Roma, Zhenya, I'd like to make a toast.

A toast, excellent!

- Let's go! - Let's go home?

Please, let's just stay 10 minutes?

Meladze...

They're already at the Meladze stage!

Meladze, Meladze...

Meladze...

Sukhanov, wait a second. This is my Yegor.

What a tough man you have, Komarova! The whisky is over there.

Zhenya, let's go...

December 31st

Here, drink this.

You could at least wash yourself.

- I'll never drink again. - What?

I feel like something awful

happened last night.

Maybe because it did?

I really don't remember anything.

Nothing at all?

I just remember that you came and that's it.

Then I don't remember anything more.

Too bad.

The real fun started after that.

Why, what happened?

So that's it? We're cancelling New Year?

You're going to stay sick?

Damn, New Year...

Hold on, Moz. I'll just lie here a bit. Don't be mad at me, all right?

We'll go shopping in a moment.

My tailbone really hurts.

- Your tailbone? - Yes.

Well, you fell a couple of times.

My god.

Your work is dangerous, by the way.

Stop it, Moz.

I'm awful.

Why are you standing here?

I just feel bad, all right?

Let's get some beer. It'll help.

Look how big this one is!

Oh, it's a turkey.

So what shall we get? A big one or a little one?

Get these two.

These?

Olives with stones. No, let's get stuffed ones.

- Shall I get cherry juice? - Yes.

I'll get two.

- Do we have ketchup? - We don't eat it, remember?

- Well, are you up for a beer? - No.

Hold on.

The chicken is 300, this is 200, this is another 150...

We still need clementines. A couple of kilos for sure.

- We still need booze. - No, your friends should bring booze.

We need to pay the rent soon, remember?

What's going on at work? They promised you some kind of bonus.

Apparently, you have to work for over a month to get it.

Zhenya, I'll work on New Year's night.

- Moz, no! - We'll celebrate at midnight

and then at 2 I'll go work. It's no big deal.

- No, I don't want you to. - Now we can buy everything we want.

Just try to... The man knows what he's doing.

Just point it away from me... Careful!

You'll spoil New Year's! Please! No, I won't spoil anything.

Dammit! Stop it already! Dima, don't...

I'm a professional! Look closely!

Let's roll! Hooray!

Come on! Why is it only me drinking vodka?

Yegor, maybe you'll drink with me?

No, I'm drinking juice.

That's all right.

Oh man!

Very funny! Very funny, yes.

Forgive me, Zhenya! It's all fine.

To 2013! She's already forgiven you!

It's already got cold! Pass the bottle and...

Why are we drinking to the new year? It's still too early!

We need to toast 2012! To 2012!

No, wait! Let's say a few words about the new year!

2012 has passed...

2012 has passed and now it s a new year.

Now it's a new year... It'll be even better than the last, as usual...

Good. Next! Thank you, 2012!

I wish you all loads of cash and all the best!

Next!

2012 was good, and

I hope 2013 will be even better! - So original!

Hooray!

Goodbye 2012!

Let's just get drunk! Let's just get smashed!

Great, yeah, let's do that!

Hooray!

I'll get you a new plate.

Can you bring in more chicken?

Hooray!

The boogeyman will come and take you away, you naughty boy.

The boogeyman's not celebrating New Year's?

- Where are the plates? - Over there.

- Which ones? - Take whichever you like.

Let me help.

Go on. I'll take the plates then.

If joy and harmony reign in every Russian family,

then Russia will stand steadily and indestructibly.

Happy New Year!

Happy 2013!

Open it! Quick! Right, here we are!

Pour some in these.

Easy!

Before 12! I'm a professional.

People!

Let's write down our wishes on bits of paper

and bum them after 12.

Go on, go on...

Careful, careful!

All right! Go on, go on...

I did it in time!

It won't lit.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

The fireworks are going off.

Come on, stop rubbing it in.

I know you're all having a super cool time, of course.

I honestly wanted to be with you guys, but you see how it turned out.

Well, have a great time for me.

OK, all right. Happy New Year to all of you.

Hugs and kisses! And say hi to everyone!

OK, bye! Happy New Year!

Happy New Year.

Moz! We agreed not to give each other anything.

I didn't buy anything.

No big deal.

- They are beautiful. - They are shit.

Zhenya, is there any more sausage? It's really good!

Yeah, just a second.

- I'm very glad to have met you... - Here.

and that I'm celebrating New Year's with you. You're all really cool!

Hooray! What, even me?

Let's drink to next year,

to having such a nice friends.

And thank you for not letting me be sad on New Year's

and inviting me to your lovely party!

To you! Hooray!

Thank you! Happy New Year!

What are you looking at?

Have you changed your mind about working tonight?

How are we going to pay the rent?

No idea.

Alexei, just a second!

I have a surprise for you. Some small presents.

The first present goes to the person

who behaved best last year.

It goes to... No, the car is for later...

At least bring in the table from the other room.

No.

What do you mean, no? Bring in the table, Yegor!

Zhenya, you're an ass.

Thanks.

I love you anyway, even though you're an ass.

And you're not an ass?

You're also an ass, you know?

No, Zhenya, I'm a moron.

But you're an ass. One of a kind.

Right.

Want me to make one guess who called you?

Lots of people called me.

Yegor, stop it.

You know who we're talking about, right?

Go away, Yegor. Really.

Do you know who I'm talking about or not?

No, I don't.

Go away, Yegor. I can't wash anything like this.

I'm going to go about with you like this all the time.

You'll go to your photo editor to do your editing

and I'll be there like this.

Yegor, stop biting me!

Yegor, you're a moron!

Why is it all yellow? Isn't there a good quality version?

No, I think they've used a special filter.

What the hell for?

For atmosphere. To increase the suspense.

I can't watch!

Neither can I.

- Rubbish. - Hey! Kieslowski is God!

- Polish, is he? - Yeah.

I drove a Pole last night. He was a boring guy as well.

Yegor, he's not boring, he’s just subtle.

- Where did you get it from? - From someone at work.

Where are you going?

To have some tea.

- I’ve paused it. - No, don't bother.

January 2nd

- Hello. - Hello.

Could you take me to the Nagatinskaya Embankment?

- How much? - 200 rubles.

Where exactly?

I'll show you the road. It's not far from here.

- No, 300 rubles. - 250?

- Okay, get in. - Thanks.

I'm always thinking about what Moscow has turned into.

Everything sticks out, one thing encroaching on another.

Do you know that there used to be a forest here,

all over this area. - No, I didn't know that.

- A long time ago? - About 10 years ago.

From here right up to Kashirka.

- I didn't live in Moscow then. - Well, I see.

That’s clear.

- We're here. - Right here?

Yes, could you stop here please?

Yes, that's fine.

- Could you break a 1000? - Yes, hold on a second.

- Hey. - Hi.

Let me see.

- Have you been waiting long? - Almost an hour.

- Everyone's waiting. - Hold on.

Excuse me, my husband is really hurt. He's been waiting almost an hour already.

Wait behind the door. There's a queue.

And leave your coat in the cloakroom.

Please, let's come to some agreement. He's really hurt.

Could you let me do my job here?

We can come to some agreement. Please!

Lean forward, please.

In case of inflammation see a doctor immediately.

You might have to take antibiotics course.

- Should we come see you? - No, why me?

Go to the hospital in the area of your registration. They'll change the bandage there.

The doctor will have a look and take the stitches off.

Bandage it up.

We've only given you first aid.

You'll need to get treated where you're registered.

So, no driving for the moment. You have mild concussion.

You should rest for two weeks.

You may suffer from nausea.

- Why are you so mad? - Whatever!

I'm just pissed off.

Yegor, could you please just give up cab driving?

Yeah, fine.

I'll sit at home and watch funny videos online.

Why do you say that? I'm not saying you should stay home.

I'm talking about a normal job.

It's not like you left school in 4th grade.

Yeah. I'll be a photo editor.

You like photo editors, right?

It's way cooler than cab driving, right?

What?

Young man, what are you doing?

Why are you hassling this girl?

- Are you drunk? - He's my husband.

- I don't look like it, right? - I thought some drunk was hassling you.

- He's my husband. - I'm sorry.

- It's fine. - Take a seat. I'm getting off.

You sit. Sit!

January 18th

Mining Vehicles and Equipment at the Mining University.

- Have you worked in your field? - No.

Have you worked in sales?

No. I couldn't find a job after I graduated from the institute.

But I had to earn money, so I started working as a cab driver.

- I have a car. - I see.

Why have you decided to apply for this position?

I feel it suits my character.

What character traits do you think you have that would suit us?

I learn fast and I can work fast.

You think this is your advantage over other candidates?

Well, yes. I think it's a good thing.

Perhaps you have some other qualities as well?

Time will tell. You have a three month trial period, anyway.

Well, all right. But why have you decided to change jobs?

I'm extremely fascinated with

selling swimming pools and saunas.

So how did it go?

- It didn't. - What do you mean?

- Literally. - What did they say?

What can they say to me?

It's all such crap.

I don't get it. Are they going to call?

Nobody's going to call.

Well, try another place. You had a lot of options.

What s the point? It's clear no one will hire me.

It's humiliating. I have no experience.

They offer a salary lower than what I make at the moment.

- I see. - What do you see?

Go on, get mad at me.

It's pointless.

I honestly don’t understand the difference

between old fashioned and new wallpaper.

No normal European home

has this stupid flowery wallpaper anymore.

You've seen a ton of European homes, right?

Even in Moscow everyone's realised

you need local colours, not flowers.

You need air. White, that's a good colour.

It's like a damn operating theatre.

Hey, Moz, we can decorate it the way we want.

We'll mellow the whiteness. Nice curtains, rugs, and it'll all be fine.

The guys from work came up with this idea.

They've got this screen

which divides the space into work and leisure zones.

It's really cool.

Oh, so you've already visited his house? The leisure zone?

Yegor, I’m sick of this.

Now everything has to be in one colour, right?

Yeah. That's how it is.

Good for Zhenya. She's got a trendy job now.

She sees what is what there. What the latest trends are.

Good for her.

Seems like I'm not trendy, you see?

Aren't you really, pal?

- I don’t know how to tie a scarf nicely. - A scarf?

Maybe I'm a redneck after all?

Moz, please, don't let it get into your head.

Yeah. I just don't understand anything.

Eat the pies.

I don't like them.

Are you supposed to get worked up about this too?

I don't care what they get worked up about, but...

The fact that they get worked up at all?

In that...

Why get worked up at all? I don't get it.

You can work up a sweat in the sauna or the banya...

I tell you you, the main thing is what you get worked up over.

What's important in life for you, Dima?

One thing.

What's important for me is...

respect.

I understand what you're saying.

True respect.

The kind of respect

without which... - I get you.

- I know these words sound... - No...

But things like a fashionable scarf...

Who the hell needs a fashionable scarf?

What's the difference, if you're right in the head?

So you don't find it interesting.

I told you half an hour ago that I don't understand...

So you don't find it interesting.

- It doesn't have any value. - Now we've come to the key point.

What's most important.

You need to set your life priorities right.

Do you agree?

Damn. All right, my friend.

But I still don't understand.

January 25th

- Are you sure it's not too heavy? - It's fine, don’t worry.

Well, you're injured. I'm worried.

It's been ages ago. I'm all fine.

Just don't get in the way.

Thanks.

Do you like it thicker or with more broth?

Somewhere in between.

- Here you go. - Thank you.

Hang on, I'll get the bread.

- Here. - Thanks.

Thank you. I don't know how I would've brought this heavy thing myself.

- It's good. - Almost forgot.

- More? - No, that's fine.

Thanks.

It's just that it's your personal time. You've got to work.

My work is a joke.

That's not true.

- Yegor. - Yes.

- Are you sure you're not coming? - I said already.

You always do this. Three days ago you told me you'd go.

Why are you acting like this now?

I didn't say we'd go, I said we'd see.

It's always like that. You never want to go anywhere.

Do I have nothing else to do, but go somewhere and listen to music?

I need to work, if anything.

That's it Yegor. I can't do this anymore.

I'm tired of sitting at home and degrading with you.

- What's that? You're degrading?

You're degrading with me? - Whatever.

Hold on. You are degrading with me?

You see me as some trash.

- Did I get you right? - No, you're not trash,

you just don't want to grow. - Why the hell do you want to change me?

I am what I am. If you don't like it, goodbye.

I don't try and change you, so why are you doing my head in like this?

I’m not. I'll go alone and that's that.

- You'll actually go on your own? - Yes. Who would I go with?

Take Roman with you.

You grow with him, right?

Look at me.

Look over here!

- You're not going anywhere - Why not?

I don't want you to go.

I'm going to the concert, got it?

Because if I don't go, I'll go crazy. I'm not going to stay at home with you.

I want to do what I want and you do what you want.

Sit there, go and drive your cab, or whatever else you want to do.

I'm going to do what I want to do. Is that clear?

Great, Zhenya. Go on, go.

Hi. How's it going?

I was calling you,

wondering how my Zhenya was doing, all alone at a club.

- I thought I'd come and make her happy. - Yegor, let's go home.

What? Let's go home.

No, why? I like it. It s a great concert.

- Moz, please, let s go home. - And you've got great company.

Roman just happened to be here. Why go home?

- Right, Roman? - Yegor, do you hear me? Let's go home.

To be honest, Roman has no idea what is going on here.

I don't know either, actually. Maybe you could explain?

What's he got to do with this?

Let's go home. What are you starting this for?

I'm going to get a whisky. Should I get one for you?

- Do you hear me or not? - No. I want to keep my mind clear right now.

Am I right, Zhenya?

What are you right about?

I should be sober in order to kill your editor.

What would you kill him for?

Don't you want to say something to me?

As you like.

- Is everything all right? - No.

Why won't you say anything then?

Ask me where I was, who I was with?

Yegor, be quiet, please. Don't get me all angry before work.

You have to work, I understand. And I'll kick shit around.

I'm not interested in your reasoning on what's shit and what isn’t shit.

Are you interested that I was just at Olya's?

No.

You don't care? I fucked another woman, get it?

- Zhenya! - Get away from me.

- Zhenya! - Get away. Get away from me!

Zhenya!

- Don’t leave! Not now! Please. - Don't touch me. Get away from me.

Fuck!

I've had it!

- Let's get divorced, then. - Fine.

March 4th

Because there's one thing you don't understand about love.

When you press on a heart, you forget about your loved one,

who sees everything on the screen.

I click on like, like, like Under a photo of three models in Jamaica

Or of bald Timati, like Raikin in At Home Among Strangers'.

They tear into me for these likes, like Nike trainers on asphalt.

And even tall stories about those three models won't help.

So don't press like, don't press like, don't like away so thoughtlessly.

Because there's one thing you don't understand about love.

When you press on a heart, you forget about your loved one,

who sees everything on the screen.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Where do you go to get divorced here? - You need to take this form

and write one application in the name of the husband,

and another in the name of the wife.

Then you need to pay stamp duty on that machine. 450 rubles each.

Then you go to that wing and wait in line.

Thanks.

Will you fill out mine for me?

- Hang on, I'll give you the money. - I'll pay.

It's your treat, right?

Do either of you have any claims against the other?

Nope.

Right, no children... Sign here.

The reason for the divorce?

What are you laughing for? Answer.

Sorry.

We're getting divorced for technical reasons.

She's a countess and I'm a moron.

Idiot!

No, wait, you don't touch glasses for the dead.

I didn't think we were burying someone.

We're burying Mozzie.

She's not going to call you Moz, is she?

Actually, what does she call you? Yegorushka or Yegoronka?

- What? - She calls me Gosh.

And what do you call her?

Oh, you should call her Golly!

She's that kind of person after all! You'll be Gosh and Golly.

Cool, right?

- Hey, she's nice person. - Yeah, sure.

I like her as a woman.

Is she a great fuck?

I'm not just talking about sex.

She has everything a woman should have,

and she needs me as a man.

You can just see it. You understand?

She's got flowery wallpaper, I expect?

Pies, cosiness and throw blankets.

The photo editors have throw blankets.

Stylish throws that mellow the space.

She wouldn't have that.

She has bedspreads with kittens on them.

Hello.

I can see you. Now walk straight. You're going the right way.

Go along the path. Just go slowly. Be careful, it's slippery.

Now look to your right. To your right.

- So, I'm off. - All right.

Where are you going?

I don't know. Maybe I'll just go for a walk round here for a bit.

- Will you be home tomorrow at around 2? - Probably.

I hope you will.

I'll pop in tomorrow and we'll decide who takes what.

All right.

Bye.

March 17th

- Yes? - Hi, Zhenya!

- How are you? - Fine.

What are doing? Are you sleeping already?

No, I'm just lying down.

Right.

How are you?

Fine. I'm getting along. Everything is okay. I'm working.

It's all fine with me.

Really? Me too. It's all good.

Cool. Why aren’t you sleeping?

Yegor, what do you want from me?

Nothing, I just called to find out how things are.

Why?

What's a big deal?

Don't call me anymore, all right?

August 26th

- Awesome flies! - Yeah, they're nice.

- Awesome light. - I like it too.

Wait, stop there.

- Stand there. - Are you going to take a photo?

Turn away from me slightly.

That's it!

- Looks like a dying unicorn. - This one?

It's a really good piece, actually. With contemporary textures of some sort.

- What was it made with? - Spray cans, I think.

A kind of collage.

What is this?

- An object of some sort. - A hand?

A hand. Clearly with stigmas coming through.

Why stigmas?

Hey, did you do the infographics on foreign tourism?

- Yes. - I knew it. Awesome!

If it goes on like that, you and Masha will have to change places.

Stop it! I’ve only just started.

Well, I don't know.

I know that you have a very rare sense of composition,

sense of colour and sense of humour. - Thanks.

Hey, let's go to my place.

My pal is out of town. You'll sleep in his room.

I'll make you tea with ginger and lemon.

I'll cook you something.

No, I'll go home, I think.

It's late and I have a big day tomorrow.

- I'll go. - Okay.

At least let me pay for the dinner.

Hi!

- Will you have some wine? - Yes, I will.

It was great,

because everyone left by taxi after that!

They show... The Panic Cinema?

Yes. Once a week they show all kind of B movies.

Blood and gore, etc.

Anal zombies. It's a type of Japanese horror film.

It's very funny.

Basically, there are normal zombies but...

but they're powered through their asses.

What do you mean, through their asses?

They get infected via penetration?

I've only seen the trailer, but...

You can download the film.

It's called Zombie Ass: Toilet of the Dead.

And the trailer is just incredible.

What kind of people go to that cinema, I wonder?

People like Lyuba...

- Who needs a refill? - Pour yourself some.

I have already.

There was this conversation on Facebook today...

about how they're awarding Nika prizes for four camera set-ups.

I can't remember what the name, but I remember the post.

Oh, that's important info for me. A Nika for four camera set-ups.

For the Sneakers' production No.

I am too proud of myself.

Just a few words, at least.

The Mayakovsky Theatre is putting on An Enemy of the People by Ibsen.

There's an online broadcast during the performance

wirelessly projected onto a screen.

Our friend Sasha Denisova is rewriting Ibsen,

updating the play for Russian life today.

She's transposing the political

and ecological problems onto contemporary life in Russia.

I have to film everyday stuff,

records her father practicing his Nobel speech,

and all sorts of rubbish.

My father made me 27 years ago.,.

This a very long story!

A successful project!

A profitable investment of protein.

Have you seen that Bykov and Efremov clip?

Where Efremov is dressed up as... As Bykov?

As Bykov!

Efremov dressed up as Bykov!

We have some friends getting married this Friday.

What?

We have some friends getting married this Friday.

And the bridal veil ripped.

- Hello? - Hey, Zhenya.

Olya, I don't sound strange. I'm fine.

I can't talk now.

I'll call you back.

You’re leaving?

Your phone.

- Bye. - Bye.

- Good morning. - Morning.

December 28th

Turn here.

- Hello. - Hello.

Come in, before you get cold.

Take some mushrooms, some cabbage.

Shall I give you some salad?

Why are you giving him white? Give him red!

To your health. Yegor, red? Go on, go on.

It's made from snowball berries. What are you on about?

Let him try it.

I'll have my own stuff.

Grandad mixes his homebrew with coke to make whisky-coke.

Would you like that too?

No, I'd prefer it neat. Neat? That's right!

Has everyone got a drink?

Have you given Yegor some food?

To the upcoming new year. And to your visit.

That's great you came.

Oh, give him some tripe. They forgot to give him some.

Hey, he'll take what he wants. It's all on the table.

Yegorushka!

It's so sweet this year.

There's lots of sugar! The berries were sweet.

- It's fine. - It's not.

Olya, court your man.

Try this! With garlic. Here!

I don't think Moscow has this kind of food there.

Here, some mushrooms... Olya, do you cook anything there?

Go on, who did I make the salad for?

It's good. Give him another spoonful.

Eat up!

- Why d'you eat so little bread? - I don't like it.

Here, Grandma.

I cooked it and forgot about it!

Olya, pass this to him!

Yegor, have some!

- Yegor, what do you do for a living? - Yegor is a taxi driver.

I've driven all over the Crimea.

And how is it? It must be hard being stuck in traffic.

No, I work nights.

At night! It's slippery. Well, obviously.

- And is it profitable? - Why are you hassling him? Let him eat.

- Yeah, let him eat! - I'm just curious.

Interesting for you, but maybe he wants to eat. It's not right.

Right! Same again.

We'll have the same again. You pour me some white.

- White? - Yes.

It won't smash! Why should it smash?

Oh, take some salo. I salted it. We don't need any salo. We don't eat it.

You don't eat salo? You forgot the tripe!

No, Grandma, it stinks! When you boil it, it's fine! Go on!

Bye, dad.

I'll call.

Hello.

Where is she?

What's the address?

What's happened?

I'll leave you by the house,

I've got some things to do.

What about the food?

I'll deal with it later.

What happened?

Yegor, what's going on?

Moz, you've come! I've been lying here, thinking about us going home.

- Does it hurt? - No, it doesn't.

Actually, everything's really good.

They fixed this muzzle on me

and said "Stop spitting, little girl!"

Moz!

My little Mozzie.

We'll go home now, right? I want to go home so badly.

No, Zhenya, it's too soon for that.

No, it's not! Let’s go, Moz!

You're so nice. So glad you came.

They thought I was sleeping, but I saw everything.

They cut out my appendix. It was huge!

When did you get here? Yesterday?

Did you get here yesterday?

I just got here, Zhenya.

Just now?

Easy, easy. Lie back.

You shouldn't get up.

Moz, I get goosebumps when you hold me like that.

Let me kiss your armpit.

- Hi. - Hello.

Why didn't you call?

They said they'd call, but... I was waiting and waiting...

The drugs are taking a long time to wear off.

Usually they rave for about 3 hours, and then they come to senses.

Your friend has been like this since lunch time.

It’ll all be fine, don't worry.

I'll cut your hair myself for New Year.

They said you have to cut your own hair this year.

My lovely Moz.

I will never go anywhere without you anymore.

Just take me away in the car now.

I will stroke you all night.

All night long I'll stroke you.
