Original subtitles

On 4 December 1921 at 18:27

all radio and wireless stations of the earth receive a strange radio message

Anta... Odeli... Uta...

Engineer Loss in the Moscow radio station.

Give this to decipher immediately!

Kursk railway station - evacuation centre Distribution centre and military hospital

Natasha works here, the wife of engineer Loss.

The Red Army soldier Red Army soldier Gusev.

In the deciphering office it was not possible to decode the radio message.

Maybe it's a radio message from Mars, addressed to our inventors?

Loss's friend and companion, Engineer Spiridonov likes to joke.

Well, maybe

about us on Mars...

Come here, happy bridegroom, your wife is calling again.

I can leave early today come to mee tme dearest!

Anta... Odeli... 18-27

All of Loss' thoughts always about one thing,

a flight to Mars and in his Mars and in his imagination he sees pictures from there.

Aelita... the daughter of the king

Ichoshka, her servant

Tuskub, the King

Gor - Guardian and Keeper of Planetary Energy

A model of the telescope built by Gor

to observe life on other planets.

A great discovery, but it is supposed to remain secret...

Show me other worlds... No one will know either.

So it shall be... In the evening I expect you at the energy tower.

In the evening:

To you alone I showthe life on our neighbouring planet.

It is time to return, before Tuskub discovers us.

Touch with your lips mine, as one does on earth.

Every evening Spiridonov with his friend Loss,

they want to build a spaceship.

Hopefully we will succeed a power source,

capable of overcoming the gravitational force of the Earth!

Since the first evening Goosev has been the darling of the whole military hospital.

Nurse Masha

"Love me or not!" sings Goosev. "The soldier has no money!"

1921 - the trains are always overcrowded.

Citizen Erlich and his wife Jelena

We have nothing left, contact. Please contact the women's department.

They are so...

Get out of here! What an impertinence!

Viktor, I have the address of an old acquaintance... let's try it!

On that day, food rations were distributed in the station.

About earlier... I am not angry, Jelena.

Introduce me as your brother.

White bread...

Viktor Karlovich Erlich

Which subjectis writing to you?

You are so adorable and I can't believe you

want to be so hard on me...

You are jealous, aren't you?

The food from Erlich is enough for a feast,

something rare in Moscow, like in the good old days.

Ugh! The wine is sour! Yes, it used to be better...

Ah! In former times everything was so fine, so delicate...

Yes... There used to be order...

The days passed. Loss continued his attemts persistently.

After each failure he continued to dream...

Anta, Odeli, Uta

Excuse me! I am chairing the House Committee and do my duty.

Clear your lab for the new tenant.

But we know each other. Do you remember?

This is citizen Erlich - our new tenant.

At the evacuation centre they are preparing an event.

Come and join us... It's so funny!

Jelena carried out her husband's instructions.

On the day of the performance she receives some food rations.

As a functionary, Erlich is doing well.

Mr Pavlov - 1 bag of sugar.

I have sugar... Hide it! Quick!

I told you we could can pluck this goose.

The people at the evacuation centre want to even out do the actors.

Comrade Goosev is our assistant director.

Real chocolate!

I have to go home, I have alot to do.

In the distribution centre fraudulent activities.

The head of the distribution centre to the criminal investigation department.

Clarify this, if necessary make a search the house of citizen Erlich.

I can do it, really... I'll prove it to you!

Citizen Kravtsov, I repeat it again:

I do not hire you, I consider you incompetent.

I had to getink from Spiridonov.

You are tired, aren't you, comrade? I understand, really!

I know everything... you had it in your coat pocket...

You lie, you lie all the time!

Agonisingly long was the night after that first quarrel.

Do you want to have fun at the ball today?

To the engineer M.S. Loss. The administration "Wolchowbau" thanks you for your

work in building the country... We need you again.

Will you go?

Kravtsov has decided to solve the case with the sugar himself.

Meeting place of the "profiteers"...

All tickets are sold, you earn good money with that!

That's a tightwad! In one week he only gave out one medallion!

Any memory of the mysterious radio message

fired his imagination anew.

For many days Aelita could not see the earth and...

Today the elders are in session.

No one will know if you go to the tower.

How could you hide Gor's device from me?!

You are the Tron successor, but we rule. The tower is denied you.

So by order of the elders

one third of the labour force to the cold chambers for storage.

All the workers who worked for the "elders" toil,

have never left the dungeons...

The first third into the chambers! The first third!

You avoid me, Aelita? You think only of the Earthman.

Expect me here. I will come to you.

The Martians are no strangers of jealousy...

You love the Earthman. You will never be able to meet him!

I leave all the plans of my interplanetary ship with you.

Take good care of them. This is the most important work of my life.

You're going alone? And Natasha?!

Natasha is waiting impatiently for her husband...

Let's go to the ball. That's where the high society meets there.

Your husband won't mind.

Let's go! In spite of him! Let's have fun!

Anta, Odeli, Uta

The illegal ball of the "better society".

Masha is persuaded to stay for dinner.

I thought you were saying goodbye to your husband at the station.

My dear, dear, wonderful...

Stay another hal fhour. At least a quarter of an hour.

I'm afraid I have to leave. I'm sorry that I didn't say goodbye.

The journey may take a long time, professionally. Forgive. Your L.

Loss's only joy was to know that he had a share

in building a new, great Russia.

Slowly but steadily everything went back to normal and things were looking up.

In the distribution centre there was less and less to do...

Allow me to accompany him...

Moscow. March 3, 1922. three months have passed since your departure

and you have sent me only three cards. If this is the end...

RAT of the Krasnopresnenski City District

REGISTRATION OFFICE - REGISTRY OFFICE

Since the closure of the evacuation centre Natasha has been working at the children's home.

Loss's business trip is nearing its end.

To the engineer M.S. Loss.

The "WOLCHOWBAU" administration thanks you for your six months of work.

Dear friend! Two months ago I left Russia... forever.

It shames me, but the old habits...

were just stronger than me...

I have hidden your plans and sketches in your fireplace.

And the dreams catch up with Loss again...

And Loss... becomes Spiridonov...

Strange... For months he didn't, and suddenly

he shows up. As if he fell from the moon. As if he had fallen from the moon.

A new crime promised recognition as a detective for Kravtsov.

A suspicious guy - the task is to to find out who he is.

Somewhere on the outskirts of Moscow.

Kravtsov at work.

Do not touch! Through this I'll find the culprit.

No more front...

the enforced inaction is getting to Goosev.

I have to do something!

I have co-founded four republics, but here one sours...

The track is followed...

You are under arrest.

Where is your arrest warrant?!

About the flight... I will be there!

Consider, comrade, the high risk, but little chance of success...

To the highest heights I will climb. I will fly to Mars tomorrow!

The day before departure the workers are sent home.

The next morning all Moscow celebrates the day of the revolution.

Where a good detective cannot drive - he has to walk.

Five minutes before departure.

We are flying! We are flying!

Engineer Spiridonov, you are arrested for unauthorized

return to the USSR and the murder of Natasha Loss.

Well, you great detective - didn't recognise the false beard and didn't recognise the wig?!

In that case... Engineer Loss you are arrested for...

impersonating a false identity.

This projectile comes from Earth!

The observatory will determine the time and place of the impact.

The aliens from Earth must be destroyed.

You must do no harm to the comers from Earth.

They will be destroyed! We do not need troublemakers here!

I now know the time and place of impact.

The elders are waiting for the Report from the observatory.

Make haste, greet the guests from Earth and bring them to me.

The pre-calculated moment of impact comes closer and closer.

Comrades, are you from the militia? There is someone to arrest.

Allow me, Goosev, former Brigade Commander of the Cavalry Army.

Tuskub! Tuskub! That's an Earthman!

Comrade Tuskubov, allow me...

...to arrest the citizen who fled here Loss to be arrested.

Touch me with your lips as with you on earth...

Do you recognise this chain, Tuskub?!

"Love me or not!" "A soldier has no money!"

You are mine! We will rule here rule over all together!

Never can I forgive myself for having raised my hand against you!

Aelita, at the behest of the "elders" this earthling is arrested.

The free word of free men defeated a 1000-year hypnosis.

You can only help yourselves!

It was the same with us.

It started on 25 October 1917.

Follow our example. Comrades, a united workers' family

of the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics of Mars.

I am coming with you! I will lead you myself!

I don't believe her... Rulers do not become revolutionaries!

You have gained power. Now lay down your arms.

Now on Mars they will never be needed again.

Victory! The troops stand with us!

Shoot the insurgents! Drive them back into the dungeons!

Now I alone will rule and rule!

ANTA, ODELI, UTA

Buy only tyres of the brand ANTA, ODELI, UTA

Buy only tyres of the brand ANTA... ODELI... UTA!!

This was now the mysterious radio message - Advertising for a tyre brand,

We are going to the front in the east, the train leaves in an hour.

I dreamt again... How I killed my wife.

But I don't run away anymore. I return to her...

We can't let him go like this, maybe he needs help!

I was crazy when I shot you...

Eternally I want to be grateful to fate... for the missed shot.

Do you still have doubts?

No, I believe you... Sorry!

The examining magistrate has you are to be arrested.

Enough dreaming! There is much to do. A real world awaits us.
