Hi, Claire.

Yes, anywhere, in general.

Then maybe pobudesh with me?

I would like to talk to someone.

Yes, of course.

I do not know what came over me.

I am a few months preparing for these samples,

and then,

when they called my name...

I could not move,

if my legs paralyzed.

The same thing happened to me
once in college.

True?

The first exam. I knew the subject, I was preparing
days and nights.

And it will all end?

Nothing. It was the first and last day of
in college.

Now I have a job.

Maybe I should do the same...

I do not know.

Maybe I'm just not fit in a ballerina?

Do you want to try it?

I do not know.

Come on. You should.

You did such a long way for this.

If you want, I'll go there with you.

I would like to have a second chance,

But I also really want to
hurry to leave.

Finish.

Claire, look.

Statue sculptor of the 18th century, Laos Neumann
,

depicting the myth of Daphne and Apollo.

Daphne, nymph-Orestiada,

was an unwitting object of love
intentions of Apollo.

She ran away from him, but he pursued her

and almost caught up,

When she prayed to the gods for help

and they turned her into a laurel tree,

from the leaves of which Apollo
made a wreath.

Hey, Claire, what are you doing?

Jason, come here.

Look at this house.

Beautiful, is not it?

I wonder who used to live in it?

The guide word.

Go inside!

Weather. Maybe there is someone still lives.

No, here everything is abandoned.

Closed.

You see.

Maybe there is another entrance...

Look, another door.

Claire, come on. It is closed.

Look what I found.

How do you know that there a key?

I myself do so.

God Stikerman!

If my uncle saw it, he would have gone mad.

I like this house.

I could live here.

I could not.

Claire!

Claire! Guess who lived here?

Ballerina.
