ONCE IN TRUBCHEVSK

Take care.

Traffic Radio Trubchevsk 103 and 8 FM.

How's it going?

All right.

After that, the captain got the nickname "gynecologist."

You wanna know why?

Because he quietly went through the arch…

Hello.

- You've already finished everything? - Yes.

Well done. Let's see.

Here.

Very well done.

Amazing!

I already know who I'm going to offer it to.

- Twenty, as agreed? - Yes.

- Do you need any yarn? - I do.

Choose then.

What took you so long?

Let's go, we'll be late.

Coming.

- You haven't forgotten anything? - No.

I've got everything.

- Hello, neighbor! - Hello!

Sorry, my hands are dirty.

- Where are you off to? - Rostov.

And my wife is going to Moscow.

Too bad it's not the same way, or you could've given her a lift.

- Well, all the best. - Yes, all the best.

Why are you all dressed up? You'll get cold.

Don't worry, it's all right.

One ticket to Moscow.

Thanks.

- Have you charged your phone? - I have.

Give me a buzz.

On the way back, call me when you go past Sukhinichi.

Call me!

Call, you hear me? Cheerio.

Please, stop at the turn.

Wait, don't go, I forgot to give you a thermos!

- That's it. Good luck, off you go. - Thanks.

Traffic Radio Trubchevsk 103 and 8 FM.

What took you so long?

Get in, let's go.

It's winter. What did you expect?

Here, drink some of this. It'll warm you up.

I've been waiting for you for an hour!

The oil froze up.

I had to warm it up.

Come on, don't pout.

Here, look.

They're all different. Each pair is unique.

All in different colors.

- May I? - Of course.

They're very beautiful.

How much do you want for a pair?

1,200.

- And how many pairs have you got? - Twenty.

I'll call the director.

Okay.

Run! Run! Run!

Well, yes. The bus has broken down.

I'm halfway there.

- Well, they say it'll be fixed soon. - They'll come pick me up.

I'll make it in time.

They say it'll take an hour.

Yes.

Yes, I love you too.

All right, so long.

So long.

You know, I can't go on like this anymore.

I'll tell them everything tonight. And you can do whatever you want…

Why spoil the holiday for people?

Because you should start the year with a clear conscience!

Let's rent a house and move in together after New Year's.

No, I'll tell them everything today, and you do as you wish.

- Yura, where are you going? - Go home, Mom, I'll be right back.

Tell me where you're going.

I'll be right back. Go home.

Happy New Year!

So where's your wife standing?

We'll miss her.

We won't miss her, look at the road.

Call her and ask where she's standing.

I'll call right now.

Hello! So, have they fixed it?

I'm coming to fetch you…

We've already done 30 kilometers. Wait there.

Can you give this girl a ride to Gorodtsov?

- Where? - Komsomol Street.

No problem.

So, did you ask her where she's standing?

She said they passed Bryansk. Somewhere nearby.

- So, did they fix it or not? - It doesn't matter! Just drive!

Of course it matters! It's New Year's.

We're driving around not knowing where we're going.

I want to go home.

I told you you shouldn't go.

We probably missed each other.

I got a lift.

Come home quickly.

I've got something important to tell you.

Thanks. Happy New Year to you!

- You too. - Thanks.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye.

Happy New Year!

Mom, happy New Year!

Bro, happy New Year!

All the best for the New Year! Mom, give me some aspic.

What did you want to tell me?

What?

What did you want to tell me?

Wait a moment.

- Yura, where are you going? - I'll be back.

I'm intrigued.

What did you want to tell me?

Nothing, everything's fine.

Look at me.

- Everything's fine. - Look, what is it?

I love you.

You understand? Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, fellow countryman!

Happy New Year!

Have you been waiting long?

Four hours.

Nobody wanted to come for you.

And why did you?

- Hello! - Hi, Vitya!

- How am I supposed to sell anything? - There's a lot to do at home.

- The kid's going to school soon. - I know.

Mom is worried…

- Bring her something tasty from Moscow. - Okay.

So long.

So long.

I'll call you, don't worry.

I'll call, I'll call.

So long!

Hi, Yura!

Hi, Tamara!

Did your wife leave today too?

Yes, she left.

Where to?

To Moscow.

To sell her knitting?

Yeah.

Right.

And your husband is on a trip?

Yes, he's just left.

Gone far?

To Rostov.

That's far.

So you're painting the fence?

Yes, Yura, I'm painting the fence.

Well, keep it up.

While it's still light.

- Be home by 11, Vitya! - All right.

Hello!

Yes, I'm on the way.

What happened?

Is everything all right?

Listen, give the phone to your neighbor.

Just some woman on the bus.

I beg you…

It's important for me.

I don't have a neighbor.

Why?

Wait a moment.

He's asking me to give the phone to some woman.

What?

Aren't you ashamed, Yura?

You're embarrassing me in front of people.

That's it, I'm done.

So long!

So long!

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Why aren't you at work?

I have a day off.

Stop smoking. What are you doing?

Mom, how old am I? Why do you treat me like a little boy?

You will always be my little boy.

- Yura, where are you going? - To work.

- You said you had a day off. - And now I need to go!

Yes, Ma…

No, I sound fine.

Yes, yes…

- Go to bed, it's late. - I'll go soon.

No, we're not asleep. Everything's fine, I told you.

You should go to bed, too.

Kisses, so long.

SEVEN MILES INN

Passports, please.

Give it to me.

For one night, right?

Yes.

Room number three on the ground floor.

Thanks.

Service…

Here.

You too, switch off your phone.

Well, go have a shower.

Yeah, I'll go.

- Yura, here's something tasty. - I don't want to.

- Are you calling her again? - Mom!

Calm down!

- Sit down, have a bite! - I don't want to.

And go to bed.

I will.

- When? - Soon.

Go to bed, Mom!

But I can't sleep...

until you go to bed.

- Eat! - I'll eat.

Mom, just go to bed, please.

Vitya, can you give me a cigarette?

I don't smoke.

Just one, Vitya, please!

And a lighter.

Make sure you don't take our stuff!

Mom, when will you be back?

Soon. Go to Grandmother, so I can concentrate.

You won't get the child even through a court.

Mom, that's enough.

You be quiet, it's too late for it now.

Enough!

Don't worry, we won't leave you.

I told you, don't marry her, there's no point…

And now you've left your child without a mother!

Go and don't come back. God speed!

Now what?

I don't know.

But I'm not going back to my mother…

She'll eat me alive.

All right, let's go. We'll figure it out.

Is it far to Kotlyakovo?

Three kilometers to the right and then to the left, to Pochep.

Okay, thanks.

Listen, is there a shop in Kotlyakovo?

Yes, but it's only open once a week.

Why only once a week?

There's not a lot of people, it's not worth it, so they bring stuff in.

You mean you have to order it?

They bring the basic stuff,

and if you need something special,

like herring or frozen fish,

then you leave a request, and they bring it next time.

And are there any fish in the lake?

There are.

Crucian carp, common carp, and there was bighead carp.

- Hello! - Guests! Hello, hello!

- Are you Evdokiya Ivanovna? - Yes, yes.

- Well, we're here to see you. - You're welcome.

- Will you show us your house? - Sure, sure.

Come in, please, come in.

- Well… - Come in, come in.

- Your house seems nice. - It is nice.

Come in, please.

Come in, my dear guests.

- It's a good house! - Yes, a good one.

It's airy, you'll like it for sure.

When was it built?

In '56. No, '40… '36!

1936!

I was born in '36, and it was built in '35.

- So, you were born here? - Yes, I was born in this house.

Our family was large, and I was the youngest.

There were five sisters, five.

I see.

Is the house warm?

Of course it is!

- Do you heat it? - We heat it with a stove.

We buy firewood for it.

But in the past they brought firewood on a sled.

We were poor.

We worked at a collective farm.

Our mom carried firewood on a sled, and we helped her.

- And who's this? - These are my sister and my mother.

- Which one is the mother? - This one.

And this is my sister. She was born in '32.

- She's old! - Such good photos.

Mom lived poorly…

and Dad didn't come back from the war,

so Mom and us five children were starving.

- And were there Germans here? - Of course!

We were children when the Germans came.

I was the youngest. Seven years old.

- And you remember it? - Of course, I remember everything.

I remember we would go outside

and there was the kitchen there in the back.

They gave us porridge. It was so sweet!

And once a partisan was hiding in our attic.

He escaped from the Polizei when they transferred him.

Escaped and hid in the attic.

In the attic.

The Polizei came to the hut,

they sent one of them to the attic

to have a look, but the others were afraid.

What if the partisan was armed?

So that man lived there for three days.

We did not see him,

but one morning we woke up

and saw that the door to the kitchen garden was open,

and he was gone.

So we saved him.

Well, I'll go then?

I want you to move here.

I will.

It's just that my wife doesn't have a clue.

I have to prepare her.

Everything will work out.

What will work out?

She will find out anyway, sooner or later.

My mother-in-law will tell the whole town.

Let's talk after my trip.

Everything will work out.

Remember to lock the door at night.

Wait!

Tamara…

You're a very kind person.

You're very smart…

and educated. You'll understand me.

You see…

I…

It's all so confusing…

I don't know…

Listen, I won't abandon you.

But Vitya has grown up…

You know, I…

My God, what nonsense.

Are you playing chess there?

Vitya, come here.

Let me smell your breath.

Go home now!

Hurry!

To your room, quickly.

Do we have any food in the house? I'm starving!

You know, our brat son…

If you decided to leave, then do it now.

I don't want to leave you.

Why are you lying?

What's wrong?

- Don't touch me, please, I beg you! - Quiet, quiet, quiet…

I know everything, they told me everything!

How could you lie to me?

- Don't listen to anyone… - How can I not listen!

Don't listen, don't listen…

I don't want to live next to that woman!

Can't you understand? I can't look at her, this woman!

We'll leave, we'll leave, I promise…

We'll leave.

We'll leave all together.

I'm sorry.

Wait!

I beg you, stop, please.

Waybills to sign.

Here…

Here…

Here…

And here.

Two for you and two for me.

- Well, that's it, have a safe journey! - Thanks.

With the partisan hide-outs, everything's basically ready.

No problems with the delivery of the props?

No, the transportation is confirmed,

and the rural settlements

have transport for delivery…

delivery to partisan hide-outs.

The main thing is the preparation of memorable places and monuments.

Any problems there?

There is one more important thing about our event.

I'm talking to you, Yuri Viktorovich.

- Are you with us? - Yes.

Let's remember, you, Yuri Viktorovich, in particular,

we have guests, and these are not just visitors

but, as a matter of fact, the descendants of soldiers

who perished while protecting our city.

So, we need to prepare for the arrival of elderly people from afar

very precisely and accurately.

You understand the level of responsibility that you have?

As far as our special guest is concerned,

I'll meet the old woman personally

and take her to the Nerusa Hotel.

No problem.

I would very much like to ask you to be a little more considerate

and attentive with your words.

She is not an old woman, but Vera Ivanovna.

So, tell me what we discussed about the visits to the memorial sites.

Any problems taking the descendants there?

A few problems with transport,

- but I think we will get those resolved. - Yes, I would like that.

How come? You should care! You should live a good life together.

You should live a good life with your husband.

- I left my husband. - You did?

You can't leave, you can't. You must live together.

Once you're married, you have to keep the family together.

Or else your child will be an orphan without a father.

Do you have children?

- I do. A daughter. - A daughter.

Either way she needs a father.

Well, my daughter will stay with me.

I saw on TV how people fight for their children.

You shouldn't do it.

You must live together.

Any difficulties must be resolved and overcome,

and you have to live happily.

What's the use of arguing? Keep quiet, that's all.

Put some water in your mouth, so you don't say too much…

And when you run into trouble and he starts hitting you,

protect your head.

I won't get into trouble.

You must cover your head. You must live amicably.

You're better off being silent. Let him shout and sit down.

I'm heading towards Moscow. Selling fuel.

How much?

Two hundred for 40.

Make it 37.

Thirty-eight, and it's a deal.

Done.

Mom! Mommy!

Look what I've got for you.

What a beauty you are!

Mom, I'm not a little kid.

Hello.

Hello, Yura.

Sasha, go for a walk.

How's life?

Good.

Is it good?

Enough.

Do you have money?

I do.

Let me put some money on your phone.

There's no need, I told you, I've got everything!

Why can't I get hold of you on the phone?

Because there is no network where I live!

Where do you live?

It doesn't matter, Yura.

You're such a moron!

Listen…

Look at me.

Do you hear me?

I beg you to come back.

I'll forgive you for everything.

Tell me only one thing…

Do you still love me?

Of course I love you.

You're my next of kin. The father of my child.

Why yours?

Now it's my child.

Don't come again!

I want to go away, I want to go far, far away,

even if just for a month…

I want to go to some beautiful place like Crimea.

I'd even go north if it's warm.

If it's warm in the north, I'd go there. I lived there for twenty years…

So, that's how it is…

I just had a fight with my wife, so I don't know…

She took the children and left.

It's one thing when she shouts at me,

but when she started shouting at the children, I couldn't take it.

And I was in such a state, such a rotten fucking state…

I told her she could shout at me, but not at the children.

I can shout at the children

when they fight each other.

But in general I don't raise my voice at them.

When is your next trip?

In a week.

I want to go with you.

I'm going with a second driver.

I can't go on like this!

Listen, I…

I'll change everything. I promise.

I don't believe you!

I'll tell her everything today.

When is your driving test?

Next week.

- You're ready? - Yeah.

Thanks.

Vitya, listen.

Go into the kitchen garden

and fetch some tomatoes. And some greens, too.

Tamara…

Sit down,

I have to talk to you.

I don't want to sit down.

What happened?

Tamara, you're good.

You're kind.

You're smart, Tamara.

You understand me…

I have fallen for another woman.

What did you say?

I don't want to lie to you. Do you understand?

What did you say? Repeat.

- I want to be honest to you. - You promised!

When is your driving test?

Next week.

- You're ready? - Yeah.

Thanks.

Just imagine, in Kopilevo they found

the remains of a mammoth and a baby mammoth.

It's direct proof that life here was thriving,

over 25,000 years ago.

And they also found a… a Paleolithic Venus.

It's very graceful.

A graceful figurine made from a mammoth tusk.

And, you know, that's already a religious cult.

- Where is my backpack? - There, in the closet.

- I'll go pack. - Where are you going?

On a trip.

You said you wouldn't have one until next week.

They offered one today.

I CAN'T GO ON LIKE THIS ANYMORE. LOVE, ANNA.

Good day.

- Hello. - Look who showed up!

- Mom, stop! - Stop…

How will I look people in the eye?

Go into the house.

Look at you and your brazen eyes!

That's enough, I said!

Forgive me, please, I won't do it again.

Sure you won't!

Go.

- Hello! - Good day!

Put that bag closer to that side.

Hello.

You're leaving?

We're leaving.

Good riddance!

Thank God they're leaving.

Valenki, valenki They're old and have no soles

Instead of bringing presents Better make new soles for them

Valenki, valenki They're old and have no soles

Valenki, valenki They're old and have no soles

Oh, the hill with bumps

All covered with cornflowers

Come with us!

For the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Bryansk

from fascist German occupation,

and for the Day of the City, we present…

Look over there! Kasha. Let's go.

Hi. Can we have some kasha?

Everywhere there were comrades

Everywhere there were friends

But he couldn't forget

A familiar street

"Where are you, my dear girl?"

"Where are you, my flame?"

But he couldn't forget

A familiar street

"Where are you, my dear girl?"

"Where are you, my flame?"

And the faraway girlfriend

Sends her lover a note

That her innocent love

Will never die

Everything you wish for

Will come true in time

And the golden flame

Won't die before its time

NOTHING IS FORGOTTEN

Oh, you, the girl's song You fly following the sun

And greet the soldier on the distant border

From the girl named Katyusha

May he remember this simple girl

May he hear her song

May he save his home country

And Katysha will save their love

May he save his home country

And Katysha will save their love

Apple and pear trees in blossom

Mist above the river water

Here comes Katysha

To the high steep river bank

Here comes Katysha

To the high steep river bank
