Ah, Ignat. How are you? Where are you going?

I've come to you

Where have you gone?

Nowhere. I've been here all the time

As a squirrel in a wheel

Don't know when will finish the house

Wife grumbles: bring this, do that

How are you?

Ah, right! I'm in debt to you



I've just going to

But you're too far, half a day walking

I am going to visit a shop on my way

Ah, to the shop...

Well then...

My wife is at home now. If I'll bring money out

She will ask where? what for?

Wouldn't you wait until tomorrow?

No way!

Hey! Let me go!

Do you think I am a fool?

What's up with you? For a couple hundreds?!



You've promised to pay it back a month ago!

Get off me!

What? Want money now?

Do it! Bring it from home

Ok

It isn't right

Wife will cry out again

You're henpecked

Watch what you say!

Do you hear me?!

Fuck off...

What is it? Blood?

What's up?

What's up, I am asking?

Is it your blood?

No, it's not mine. Step away

Whose it then?

I'm in trouble...

Sit down and explain!

I'm in trouble!

Wait! What's up?

I'll call a policeman

You've raised a killer!

What have my son done?

What've he done?

Are you even asking?!

Go, look, what have he done! Look!

Calm down sister...

Ignat!

Wait...

Your boy messed things up

He overridden a boy to death on a tractor an hour ago

They drank at the garage, near steamshop

Then they wanted more

Your son decided to go on tractor for the vodka

He driven back

That moment Michail's son, Cyril, went to a toilet and haven't noticed

Got under wheels

Then

Your son himself pulled him off the tractor and brought to the garage

He was still alive then

They have called me at once

I came soon

I saw your son was afraid, he have run away at once

That's good he have run away

Michail came with pale face

He would have killed your son right there

We would've got in an even bigger trouble then

Well, Ignat, go home, calm down

Calm down your son as well

Or he may do even worse thigs

Did you open the gates yourself?

Yes, I did

Did you turn the tractor on yourself or have it been already turned on?

I've turned it on

Did you look at the rear view mirror?

It seemed nobody was there...

How much did you drink?

Three bottles of vodka

Did you noticed something while you've driven back?

No, I didn't

Hello Semionovich

Hello Ignat

Well...

I assume, you know already

I've got to know

I'm taking your son with me

No, do not take him

Let him stay

Let him sleep at home

I'll bring him to you myself next morning

All right?

It won't turn out that way

I beg you

It's a complicated case

Let him stay

He is my only son

I must...

Please, let him stay...

No. I can't. I'm taking him

Don't do it that way

Let him stay

No

He is going with me

Enough! I have an instruction.

Well, let's go!

Step away

Let him stay...

No! What's up with you? Where the jacket?

Let him stay... stay...

Please let him stay

Step away old man!

Please let him stay

Enough!

Let's go

It's not right...

What's a dreadful punishment!

My son was taken away!

Quiet, people are sleeping

When I came back from Michail, Semionovich came in. He make up a protocol

I know

I asked him to let my son stay

He did't even listen

He have taken my son away like a criminal

Everything must be according to law. We can't hide it

It's our job

Last night

We informed them

So, they took him to the regional center

What?!

What's "What?!" It's a crime with homicide

Calm down, don't be so afraid

They will decide if he is guilty or not

As far as I know it is unintentional homicide

We are all know him

We are all one village residents

Then borrow me your horse

I will go to the regional center next morning

I don't want to let him be alone

Go get some sleep!

I won't give you a horse

Should I go on feet then?

Don't say nonsense!

Do you want to freeze to death?

It's not my fault

Life is different everywhere, everything happens

You should endure it

What?

What "What?"? We're talking about your son

They will decide by themselves there

And what should I do?

Don't blame yourself

Go home, rest

For the sake of your son

Prey

Think with your head, think well

It isn't right...

Old man!

Give me a sigaret!

Go away!

Asshole

Why do you come here?

Old man is still drinking, he can't get himself together still

He won't calm down

You have leave us without our only son

There should have been grandchildren

But no!

Go away!

You come here like you're mocking us!

Why are you coming? why?

Go!

Hey, old man, give me a cigarette!

What are you saying?

I've asked you for a cigarette!

Look at you, asshole!

What do you want?

It hurts!

I'll kill you, asshole!

Have you been at Michail's house?

I've visited them

What for?

So, like that... I've going by

He's completely out of his mind

It would be great to send him to a distant area

But his wife wouldn't survive all by herself

It would be better go make him a lumberjack in a brigade

He would stop drinking then

Do you think a brigade will accept him?

One needn't to be very smart to be a lumberjack

Well, how are you?

How am I?

Look, I'm tinkering boxes

I'm working on it all day long

I've made up full pouch of them

But nobody buying it

What's about my son?

There will be a trial soon

Eyewitnesses have been invited to the regional center

Why did nobody informed me about this?

I would have come

You wasn't an eyewitness, so they don't call you

"Not an eyewitness"

I'm an eyesore to everyone here already

Are you...

Are you going to visit regional center clothed like this?

Like a hobo

What a shame!

I know for myself what clothes to wear

What you need?

Do you have meat?

Of cause, I do

Beef? pork? or veal?

I need beef

Do you have money?

I do. I do

How much?

Give me for all the money

Well, wait here

I'm bringing you some meat

Go away!

I've butchered meat

Cook a soup at least

It's you again!

Stop it!

Your son have hanged himself up

Everybody knows. It's just you who don't know

It's a sin to talk such things

Don't believe me, if you want so

Sit and wait for him then

It's not right

And you better clean the snow at the yard at least!

Enough drinking!

You're like a swine!

I've met a very good girl yesterday

I've met a very good girl yesterday

I've carried her home

Everything is great

Well, do you stop smoking?

I've stopped, what do you care?

What've happened with you?

It's not your business!

You are always spending your time near the shop

And what's about school?

My mother is drinking

I have no father!

Why are you lying?

Hey, let's go

She stops sometimes

But when someone visits us

She start it all over again

Lonely, nervous

What are you doing?

You are crazy

Do not think out some heresy

As far as I would have my strength

Come what may for you

Rise up!

Go have breakfast and go away

What are you going to do today?

It's my business what I will do

Wash the dishes

I can do it myself

You have your home, go there

Nobody is interested, how do you live

Ah, here you are!

Hey, let's go home!

Hello Ignat

Hello

What news?

You even asking "What news?"!

I'm taking my son with me!

He has beaten me up last time!

Stop it!

Stop it! Go wait outside

Ignat, you've just seen it

This woman composed a statement

She told you've beaten her up

And took her son away

You should bring boy back

Let her stop lying! I didn't beat her

Told her to stop gathering people

She must be fall all by herself and she even accuse me

Gathering all sorts of people

And her son is without care at the same time

He isn't even going to school

He's spending all day near the shop asking for cigarettes

Ignat, you should understand, any way...

No, I won't let him go, you better arrest me then

This is my job

We've come here to take my son back!

Take him at once!

Let us have a talk!

MOTHER! GO AWAY!

GO HOME!

Any way you should give him back

Go away, I won't bring boy back

You've heard that, go out

Ignat, let's talk later

What?

Who's living here?

A man

Of cause, it's a man, not a chipmunk, really

Chipmunks are living with the crazy ones

Well, let's go home, we should heat up the stove

Chipmunk, what are you asking for?

So, like that... for some little things

You should ask for meat and fish

Why are you standing here?

Go home

We with my friends robbed a shop once

We went in, take something and went out

I sneaked my cookies under the pillow

And my friend...

Put his cookies to his fridge

That's how we was caught because of him

Stollen things can never be tasty

Only what you have earn yourself can be tasty

Do you see that package?

What then?

What is there?

Wooden boxes

Who have made it up?

I am

Then sell it and buy yourself cookies

Also we are getting short on butter

We should also go make shelf for meat to Michail's

Lay that way

What are these jars for?

You'll become smarted

Get it, as you've come

Do you have more?

No, I don't

How will we live on?

Live we lived before

"Live before", and how was it?

I've lost my only son

Give me 50,000 rubles!

Have you gone crazy?

You know me...

I have no money

I can give you a young horse

So do it

He is in the field now

Don't fool me around! Do it!

Don't do this!

I'll bring it in three days

Go away!

It's not right...

I should have castrated it last summer

I would have rode it

May be we'll chase him to the village, then call people?

Tell me, where do you thing the village is?

That way

It's that way, you fool

I see, you would lose the way, it you were alone

You don't know where you came from...

I'm rarely going into forrest

Your generation rarely walks to the forrest

When we were young we've spent all the time there

Once, long ago, during hay harvest we also lost a horse, we searched far a long time

There were three of us. Two others were older than me

We split up, each on his own road

During the search I meet our horse

But it began to run away from me

I was following it

He went into thicket, I'm after him, calling him

I tried to catch it near the lake and went into swamp up to knees

I was sucked deeper and deeper. I was afraid

I started screaming, crying

And nobody was around

It was becoming darker and colder

I began stoping feeling my legs because of cold

And a horse was going around and eating

When it was already dark the horse came to me

I grabbed its mane then and pulled myself out that way

I lost my boots in that swamp

We came back to the village in midnight

I've frostbitten my legs then, I spent a lot of time in hospital after that

That horse should have been smart, then?

Of cause, not like the one we are dealing with now, running away

It's cooked already, eat it

Where is our village?

That way

Have you remember what we got through?

Hmm... a forrest, a lake and some barns

Now I want you to go back that way

Light up the stove, warm the kettle

Why? I am going to stay with you

You're chipmunk, aren't you?

Chipmunks never go far from their home

Go home then, warm the kettle

I'm staying here

Go home

I'll search some more and will be back soon

Go

Do you want some water?

How are you feeling?

All right

The headman gave me a job of a cleaning lady at the administration

That's good

How is the boy?

He is all right, he's became a man, don't smoke, it seems

He need attention. Once you lose oversight on him, hi might lose his ways

What's about your legs?

I didn't frostbitten them, it seems

Take your son back, he needs a mother

He has learned tinkering a little

I'll take a shirt, I am going to complete sewing it at home

I did't manage to find a young horse

I's my grandfather's knife

I's made of a good steel

Take it or don't take it, it's up to you

Hello

Hi

How are you?

Nothing new, what's about you?

I'm ok, my mother have altered a shirt for you

By the way, here is somebody came to you

I've invited her to the house, are you ok with that?

I'm ok, but who is it?

Come in, see for yourself

Good buy

You've waited for a long time, haven't you?

For two years

No, I mean, how long are you sitting here?

Ah... For about an hour

What's that?

So, like that... A shirt

Let's take a look

Look

Did you sewed it yourself?

Yes, I did

Looks great

Well, here's new skirt, here is my house

I'm tinkering boxes near the stove all day long

I have three horses

And one more young horse

Which I can't find

It has been eaten up, it seems

Are you going to be my wife?

And what do you think?

Let's go then

Let's go

Are you tired?

No, I am not

You've still done not presented a wooden box to me

I am looking for a good material

As I will find it, I'll make up a box for you right away

Do you do everything all by yourself?

Yes, I do

I have a daughter and two grandchildren

They have promised me to come at the new year holiday, I'll present them to you

How will we live?

We will support each other

Have you been seeing me, a fool one, through the window?

Why are you fool? I've been seeing you

Probably, people are laughing at us, that we've got married at old age

No, they aren't

On the contrary, they are jealous of you, that you've found such a woman for a wife

Well, let's go to sleep

You're go get some smoke, and I'll prepare the bed

Ignat used to sit near the stove all the time

He used to tinkering boxes all the time

This house was build during the 60's, it seems

Ignat was a good man

We used to arguing with him about life, about global problems all the time...

He was good educated, smart

There is nothing to return as it was now

There is nothing to return as it was
