Yes, Kira. Thank you.
Thank you for the greetings.
I'll tell that to Kolya.
No, he hasn't come yet.
He is a bit late. I don't know.
He must have gone to buy the flowers.
It’s our 15-year wedding
anniversary, after all!
He can't leave me without a bouquet.
General Producers
- Natalia Bilan and Vlad Ryashin
It’s better this way.
Your hands are so tender.
A bit higher, please, a
bit higher. Yes, yes, yes!
Rose!
He has come. Bye!
Rose, we have visitors.
This is Peter from Germany.
He came here for a
symposium on human rights.
Hello. I'm Rose.
I speak Russian.
Nice to meet you. How was your flight?
The flight was excellent.
We landed on the second
attempt, though. But...
Moscow! What a windy city!
He is pretending to be a foreigner
but in reality he is our compatriot.
Petya from Ryazan! Here you go.
Hello, Rose Vitalyevna.
Good evening, Georgiy.
It smells so good! You work miracles!
How did you get to know
that we'll have visitors?
Will you sit with us?
No. I still have some
homeworks to correct.
I'll go to the summer
cottage this evening.
I need to water flowers. Have fun!
Kira, hello, this is Kostya. Hello!
You're disappearing somewhere. Hello?
Kira, look, I have a request for you.
"May I spend a night at your
place? Nothing has happened; "
I just want to spend some time alone.
What are you doing in Sochi?
Oh, the festival! Very good.
What do I do? Where should
I go? To the summer cottage?
A summer cottage is a
good thing, it'll suit me.
You rented it together
with Rose, didn’t you?
All right, tell me the
address, I'll put it down.
Hey! What are you doing here?
I'm looking for a key.
What key?
A spare one.
I'll call the neighbors now.
No need to call the
neighbors. I've found it.
What are you doing here?
I know you. You're Rose.
Kostya?
I'm sorry. I called
Kira and asked her to...
I needed a place to spend the
night. She let me stay here.
It's all right.
It looks like my crazy friend
- to call her former husband
to a summer cottage
without even warning me.
You changed. You used to
be a redhead and now...
The redhead is gone. So... don't smoke.
I don’t smoke.
Don't make any noise. I hope
I have nothing to fear about.
What do you mean?
I hope you won't get any
thoughts concerning me.
Oh, this... No, no. Everything
will be fine. Good night.
“I hope you won't get any
thoughts concerning me”.
Who needs you apart
from your own husband?
What did you do? I asked
you not to make noise.
I just wanted to drink
some tea. I'm thirsty.
You won't be able to boil
the water in this one.
It’s broken. I have no
time to buy a new one
and I’m too greedy to
throw the old one away.
I'll clean it. Thank you, kind woman.
I'm sorry for bringing
you so much trouble.
It’s all right. I can’t sleep anyway.
Tell me, how did you come to such life?
Kira should have warned me, though.
She invited you but said nothing to me.
She forgot. You know
what her life is like.
Meetings, discussions, a
war with that... Gantelin...
Gireyev.
Yes, that critic...
When did you last see Ivan?
Recently. He grew up
so much. He is so tall
and lean now... despite his 11 years.
12.
Yes, he is almost 12. Kira told
me he already has a girlfriend.
Are you going to marry yourself?
I see.
What about your work? Are
you designing aircrafts?
You used to study in the
Aviation Construction Institute
when you and Kira were married.
I don't design planes, Rose. I
work for a firm that washes them.
You dreamt of designing
them, didn't you?
Life changed. I got an offer
and I couldn't refuse it.
How did you end up here?
Looking like this?
Has something happened?
Nothing. I dropped in
the bar, started to drink.
Then I drank too much.
Everything is fine.
Wait. Why are you here? This
summer cottage is Kira’s.
We rented it for two families.
Wait. Why are you here
alone, without your husband?
You are married, aren't you?
I am. He got delayed at work.
Who is he?
He is a lawyer.
He has lots of work. He defends
everybody, helps everybody,
sympathizes with everybody…
What about you?
What about me? I have
my pupils, the school,
their homework. Such crazy days...
Yes, but... you like it, don't
you? You always loved children.
Right.
Where have you been? I
called all our friends,
all the morgues, all the hospitals!
I'm sorry. Do you
remember the Kolganovs?
They started the move
and asked me to help them.
I helped them, and later... You know.
Why didn't you answer your phone?
I almost got mad from worrying!
My phone got discharged. I
never forget to charge it but...
It just happened so. Forgive me, please.
A drunk! One can't
even quarrel with you!
All right...
Take a shower! You smell like a trump!
How is the summer cottage?
Everything is fine. Shall
I make you some coffee?
No, thank you.
Maybe tea?
I don't want anything.
Tell me, how was your morning?
It was all right. I got a
call from a radio station.
I refused them.
Why?
They are weird guys. I was there once.
They didn't give me
the opportunity to talk.
The host was interrupting
me all the time.
He was clearly in love with
himself. It was a bad program.
Look, I have a terrible headache.
I don't want to listen to that nonsense.
Take some aspirin. You asked me
to tell you about it yourself.
You're right. I'm
sorry. I have a headache.
What were you doing yesterday?
Nothing. I was sitting
at home taking pills.
Then Kurakin dropped in.
And?
Nothing. He spent some time
with me. Are you jealous?
How can you? How can you
be jealous of Kurakin?
He is... He is a poet.
Lermontov was a poet
too. But it didn’t present
a cheated husband from
killing him at a duel.
Stop! Don't you dare kill
Kurakin. He won't take it well.
Besides he is very
good. When he got to know
that I fell ill he sat with me
all the evening, brewed me tea,
told me about physiognomy
and even showed
how one can determine one's
roots by the face traits.
Look, I didn’t know that
you were such Othello!
Liza, marry me!
Will they stand for long?
For two weeks at least.
Oh, sure! Two days at most.
You don't give any guarantees
and one can say anything.
If they wither fast
you're in for a trouble,
Yes? I'm opening. Valya, get ready.
Mum, I haven't finished!
You'll finish that at your granny.
Hi, beauty. All boys will
you yours with such hair.
This is what I tell her, and
she wants to do a haircut.
Don't you dare, do you get it?
Valya, why don't you
say hello to Uncle Kolya?
Hello.
Hello! Go! Granny is waiting for you.
My Nefertiti.
Thank you, my pharaoh.
Nevolin, look how beautiful it is!
Yes, it is beautiful. But
it's good for a melodrama,
for a movie. It's too much
for real life. You know,
I got an invitation from
the Design Bureau of Sobolev.
You know that I always
dreamt about designing planes.
That idea again? We’re going to marry.
We shall somehow get our life in order.
We wanted to buy a larger apartment.
You dreamt of an home
office, didn't you?
I still dream about it.
Do you remember how we met?
Of course. Dad was
conducting negotiations.
And then you appeared.
You were so funny.
You offered to dedicate a plane to me.
You must have thought
that you were irresistible.
Such a romantic lover...
Yes. I used to be funny
indeed. A real madman.
I was obsessed with an idea to
construct a new kind of plane,
to design airliners. Who am
I now? I'm a plane-cleaner.
Nevolin, you're not a cleaner.
You don't stand there
with a hose, do you?
You're working for a respected
company that washes planes.
You’re not just any employer.
You’re the owner's right hand.
Really! You may change
your job any time.
But let’s marry first,
go for the honeymoon
and think about that later!
Yes, Kira. What has happened?
Kira, I had some plans for
today. Meet him yourself.
All right, I'll bring him to you. Bye.
What can I do? What?
We wanted to spend the
weekend together, didn't we?
We did.
What if we go to look
for a dress all together –
me, you and Ivan? How
do you like this idea?
Will we look for the shoes too?
Of course!
Do you know that you're very handsome?
You have eyes of most incredible color.
You’re flattering me.
Your eyes are incredible.
Like the eyes of an
Egyptian's princess's.
What color are your wife’s eyes?
They are grey. You found great time
to talk about my wife's eyes.
I'm sorry. I want to know
whom I'm sharing my man with.
Do you love her?
Yes, very much. What a bad
manner to ask silly questions
and then to get hurt at the answers!
She is a great person
and a very good friend.
Again?
This is a very good variant.
Do you remember Svetlov?
He is the director of a radio
station and he needs an assistant.
This is a very good job, really.
I like my job.
What kind of job is that
- to flirt with the passengers?
What are you doing during your flights?
You're jealous, aren't
you? Do as we agreed.
When you leave Rose I'll leave my job
and be with you all the time.
You know I can't leave her. I can't.
We have been together for 15 years.
She won't live without me.
And I won't live with you.
What do you need that for?
You could live on your own.
It's good to be on your
own... for a year or two.
And after this time one wants
to die because of being alone.
Why don't you like Liza? She is
good. She is kind and reliable.
When you were marrying mum
did you say that she was
kind and reliable too?
I still think so. It’s just that...
we didn't manage to live under one roof.
You only lived together
for a year and a bit.
You have lived with this girl longer.
Stop talking about Liza in this way!
She has no connection to the
problems between your mum and me.
I'm an adult. I have a right
to have private life and...
a bit of respect.
How do you like it?
Wow! You're the most
beautiful bride in the world!
This is true! Vanya, tell her!
I think this dress
makes you look fatter.
It's not a fault of a dress, though…
Go to the car and wait for me
there. Go, go! I told you to go!
Look, don't get hurt. He is just a boy
and he has no sense of
humor. Let me take him home
and get back to you.
I'll go with you.
What for? You'll quarrel again.
Stop talking nonsense! He
is teasing me all the time.
I treat him well, by the
way. Plus it doesn't matter
whether your son likes that or
not, but I'll become your wife
all the same. So he'll
have to communicate with me.
What do you have to go with us for?
Let me take him there and go back.
I love riding! I'll stay in the
car. Look, I don't understand.
Are you afraid of showing me to your ex?
Maybe you're shy of me?
Liza, eat salad. It’s our house
specialty, cooked in accordance
with the granny's recipe.
It was the first dish
that I learned to cook.
Kostya's mum taught me.
By the way, Kostya likes it very much.
Kostya is not very choosy.
How weird! He used to
pick at his plate for ages.
The years of bachelor life
must have influenced him.
What are you doing in life, Liza?
I'm a freelancer. I
write articles on fashion,
on modern trends...
Rose, sorry for intruding.
It's all right. Go, or
they'll notice your absence.
They won't. They are trying
to outtalk each other.
Rose, I wanted to tell you...
Say nothing. Consider
that nothing has happened.
I can't stop thinking about you.
You’re saying
- the West, European education, European cinema...
Gireyev... do you know
Gireyev? He is a famous critic.
He is bowing to the West as
if we had no Eisenstein, Romm,
Tarkovskiy, as if we don't know
how to make cinema ourselves.
Will you ever calm down?
Auntie Rose, she'll never calm down.
Don't interfere in adults'
talk! And stop snatching bites!
Take a piece, sit down and eat properly!
You became absolutely
uncontrollable, Ivan!
What was I talking about?
About the West. I don't
know about the movies
but the West is very
good at making clothes.
Let’s stop talking about the art, girls.
Let’s talk about the meat.
I don't know. It seems to me
that they’re poisoning
us with their ideology.
You have a real banquet here!
Kolya, you came right in time.
Kostya made great meat for us.
Sit down. I'll bring you a plate.
Nicolay.
Konstantin. This is Liza, my fiancee.
Hello.
Kira.
Hi.
What are we going to drink?
You're saying that you have
been living with my husband
for a long time. But it
is physically impossible.
Why? Do you doubt your
husband's abilities?
I didn't mean that. But
Kolya is busy all the time.
He has endless symposiums
and business trips.
And in the evenings
he is always at home.
Women's shortsightedness
never seems to amaze me.
Shall I remind you
all his business trips?
Why are you saying that to
me? We have a good family.
Rose, stop it. You
don't even have children.
What kind of family is that?
Kolya and I love each other.
He feels sorry for
you. Frankly speaking,
a man like Kolya needs a bright woman.
Like you?
He doesn't need a housewife for sure.
I'm not a housewife.
Yes, you're teaching from time to time.
Kolya is not interested in
you. Do you remember him leaving
for negotiations in February?
I was with him. Look.
This photo was taken
when we were in Italy.
He told you that he was
going to a symposium.
Do you want to see some
more? I have photos from Spain
and England. We went there with Valya.
What Valya?
Valya is my daughter. Kolya
loves her very much. Rose, dear,
don't stand in the way of
our happiness. Let him go!
Hi.
Hi.
Are you going somewhere?
Yes, I'm leaving.
Where to?
Nowhere. I'm leaving you.
Can you explain what is going on?
Nothing is going on. Marina came.
What Marina?
You know what Marina. Will you deny it?
No, I won't. Rose,
forgive me, I did wrong.
You see, I work so much...
I don't want to understand anything.
I'll correct my mistake.
It was just an infatuation…
Infatuation? You were living
with her behind my back.
She showed me the photos.
How could you, Kolya?
I wasted half of my
life on your comforts.
I was cooking soups for you and
ironing your expensive shirts.
I forgot about myself for your sake.
Do you know something? I wasn't
doing nothing all these years.
Do you know how hard it is
to perform well in courts?
All right, I made a mistake. Yes.
But you can give me
another chance, can't you?
No. I owe you nothing.
Have you forgotten
about how we used to
live after the wedding?
We could hardly make the
ends meet, but all this time
I was by your side. Though
I could have left you.
I was beautiful then.
You don't remember it now.
Now you're handsome and successful
and I'm just a pitiful housewife.
You're defending everybody,
Kolya. Who will defend me?
Why? What should one defend you from?
From loneliness. And from
your terrible indifference.
It is not indifference,
Rose. Please understand.
Sometimes one has to hide,
to escape the usual world...
You’re free. You may go
to that world forever.
What shall I do? Forgive
me! What else shall I do?
You've always been a loyal friend to me.
This is right. I used
to be your loyal friend.
A loyal friend, a cleaner,
a personal secretary –
anybody except for a woman.
You forgot that I am a woman,
Kolya. You forgot about that
to the point that I
forgot about that myself.
Rose!
I understand the situation
with the Aeroflot.
But it's an interesting
case with the Siberia.
We shall negotiate it. Hand
this case over to Sergey.
He is a smart guy, he'll sort it out.
You know, I'll work on it myself.
I don't get it. This
is your last week here.
I wanted to tell you that I
changed my mind about leaving.
What do you mean
- you changed you mind?
You dreamt of designing
planes, didn't you?
I thought that... Liza and I are
going to marry and to have kids.
A dream is a good
thing, of course but...
this is not the right time.
Kostya, when will the time
be right? When you retire?
I think it's not your idea but Liza's.
These are her words, am I right?
Alexei Ivanovitch, I've thought
it over well. I shall go.
Sit down! Sit down! Why did
I hire you? What do you think?
Do you think I did it because
you're my daughter’s boyfriend?
If I hired all her admirers
I'd have gone bankrupt long ago.
I hired you because you're
like me, just 20 years younger.
I dreamt to design planes
too. It didn't happen.
First it was hard to
enter the faculty, then...
the Soviet Union collapsed and
the industry went down with it.
They paid kopeks in
the Research Institutes.
Liza's mother persuaded
me that a bird in the hand
is better than two in the bush.
Maybe she was right. You
have a prosperous company.
The sphere of activities is the same.
Yes. But I still feel bad
because I didn't try it.
Kostya, I know my Liza. I love her.
I worry whether you'll love her
in ten years, when you realize
that you buried your
dream because of her.
Mum, may I go to Yulya?
You better do the
dishes. You’re so lazy!
Why are you like this
the second day in a row?
Like what?
Like this.
Will you explain?
What is there to be explained?
I don't understand it. What
did you want to achieve?
What right did you have to
interfere in my private life?
What rights do I have? You’re
treating me like your favorite toy.
Don't you see what I really want?
Hello, Uncle Kolya.
Valya, you wanted to
visit Yulya, didn't you?
Honey, we have already
discussed it one hundred times.
So what? You're saying that
you feel sorry for your wife.
Who will feel sorry for
me? You're jealous of me.
You won't let me go
anywhere without you.
How many years shall I wait
for you? Five? Ten? Fifteen?
Your color was not beautiful.
The tone was a bit... unpleasant.
No, I didn't do anything
radical. I just added some color
and volume. It’s good
now, it seems to me. Right?
Let me tell you how to make a hairdo.
Look, spray some
conditioner on the wet hair,
massage it with your hands and...
Yes, yes. I remember everything well.
I'll get my suit at seven. No, no.
I'll take the invitations
from the printing house. Yes.
And go for the suit at 8.
Yes. Yes, yes. I remember.
Kisses. Bye.
Look, I don't know if she agrees but...
My friends are looking for
a private English teacher.
I thought about Rose.
Give me her phone number
please. One second.
Hello.
Hello.
You're very beautiful.
Stop it! People are watching.
Let them watch.
Did you want to say something?
Yes. Yes. I designed the wings.
You see, I designed new wings.
Yes, but wings have
been invented long ago.
No, no, these are my wings.
They are the wings
of my future aircraft.
They are beautiful. Why do they
face the opposite direction?
They are sweepforward. They
optimize the pressure distribution.
It’s simple though it is
rather difficult to explain.
I'd drink some coffee.
You see, you're doing well.
It’s not very difficult.
It’s a bit like dancing.
Do you like dancing?
I can't dance.
Really? I'll teach you.
We'll regret it, won't we?
We won't.
You have a fiancee.
And you have a husband.
I have a husband.
Plus I'm older than you.
For two years?
For five.
You’re lying. You’re so beautiful!
And one more thing. I know
nothing about you, Nevolin.
What do you want to know about me?
I want to know everything about you.
I'm your friend's ex-husband.
I'm an aviation designer
who is currently washing planes.
Why are you washing them?
You dreamt of designing them.
I got an invitation but... I refused.
Why?
The time hasn't come.
When will the time
come? When you retire?
You know, one very clever
person said the same to me.
It means I'm very clever.
Rose?
Who is it?
Kira. I forgot that she was to come.
Rose!
Move it!
Damn it!
Rose! Why didn't you open at once?
I fell asleep, can you imagine?
I understand. After all that...
What do you mean?
Stop playing up, Rose.
I know everything.
Kira, do you know about me and...
Yes.
How did you get to know?
He told me himself.
He called and told me.
He was crying too. I think
you should have told me
about that at once. Do you think
I would defend that bastard?
Why is he a bastard?
One could see at once that he is a stud.
Really? Is that true?
Of course it is true!
So you're not mad at me, are you?
Why would I get mad at
you? He is not my relative!
I don't want to see that womanizer!
My poor girl! How did you live with him?
With whom?
With Kostya.
With Kostya? With what Kostya?
Nevolin.
Nevolin? What does
Nevolin have to do with it?
You said yourself that he was a bastard.
Who?
Nevolin.
I was talking about Nicolay and you!
What does Nevolin have to do
with it? I don't understand!
Kira, thank you. I needed
your support very much.
Right. What is there?
The cats, I think.
Nevolin is a real
angel. He is so pedantic!
When he was leaving home
he was already running back!
Guys, how are you? Is
everything all right? Very good.
We're starting in 15 minutes.
The performance is about to begin.
I feel very uncomfortable,
but I still don't know
what a performance is.
Oh, God! I'm going to marry a savage.
Listen to me attentively. A
performance is an artistic action
in which the artist
is using his body to...
Wait, wait! Will Kurakin
perform a striptease now?
Nevolin, you're incredible!
The dawn. Insomnia, you won.
You have been taking me
along dark and empty corridors
all the night through.
Insomnia, open the door for me.
The beast will wail feeling the dawn...
Lyusya Chigis. She is
a very talented artist.
Look, why are they crawling there?
They are drawing something.
What are they playing?
A beast that feels the arrival
of dawn or the insomnia itself?
Find the solution, oh,
man, find the solution!
Find a question and guess an
answer! I'm ready to serve you too,
to tell fortunes with
my dry jealous lips!
It's great, isn't it? Robert
is a genius, after all!
Do you like it?
It's all right. But I don't understand
what Mandelshtam has to do with it.
What Mandelshtam?
Osip Emilyevitch. The Russian…
I mean the Soviet poet.
He wrote these lines: "I'm
ready to serve you as well".
I don't know. It must have been
the idea. What's the matter?
It's hard to satisfy you.
You're a real wild man!
Your Kurakin is a plagiarist.
Bravo!
Confess that you
understand nothing in art.
I confess. But your Kurakin
is still a plagiarist.
He should have taken something simpler.
And he took a Mandelshtam’s poem!
Try to understand that
Mandelshtam is a form.
And Kurakin is a... content.
Really?
Yes.
This is the only case when a form
is more interesting than the content.
You're a real savage indeed.
A word can't satisfy my thirty lips.
Without you the air
is empty for me again.
God, you should have asked
me to marry you earlier.
Dresses shaped like
bells are in fashion now.
But they don't become me at
all. I have an idea, though.
What if I have a trousers
suit instead of a dress?
I could decorate it with
nice fabric and add a hat!
Yes, maybe.
Liza... I'm a bastard, a real brat.
You'll be right not to forgive me.
I've already forgiven you, Nevolin.
Liza, I... I can't marry you.
Stop it! Did you get hurt
that I called you a
savage? It was a joke!
Do you have another woman?
Who is she?
She is married. She will
never leave her husband.
It doesn't matter. I was
not talking about that.
Wait. What about our wedding?
Liza, I won't be able
to make your happy.
You see, we're too different.
We are not compatible.
You're so bright, you like parties.
I am thinking about a family
and I want to have children.
You never wanted children.
You never offered me to have
kids. I'll want them with time.
No, Liza. This is it. You see,
it’s some infatuation but...
I'm thinking about her all the time.
I love her.
Rose...
Kostya. Kostya...
I've been waiting for you.
I left my fiancee.
I left my husband too.
Wait. Why didn't you tell me?
I didn't want to spoil your life.
It's beautiful, isn't it?
Do you know what I found
out? I have no friends.
Can you imagine that? I have
been defending people all my life.
But I have no friends.
At all. Are you my friend?
Right, you're not. Where
are my friends? Take Rose.
She is not my friend anymore.
Do you remember Rose, Gosha?
She is not my friend anymore.
What will you say about that?
I'll say that you're a big
boss, Nicolay Sergeyevitch.
Well... I'm a big boss indeed.
But where are my friends?
I have no friends too. But
you have a brilliant mind.
You'll think of a way to
get Rose Vitalyevna back.
I will get her back. Why
not? Wait for me in the car.
I'll come down in some
20 minutes. That’s it.
"You had some rest; now
it’s time to go home. "
Rose, start packing.
Where are your things?
Let’s go home! Stop playing up!
I won't go anywhere.
Why?
Because I don't want to.
What do you want? Do you want
me to prostrate at your feet
begging to forgive me?
No.
What do you want, then?
I don't want anything. Just leave.
Yes, I'm guilty. Rose, I made a mistake.
But you're a clever adult
woman. You must forgive me.
I forgive you. But I
won't come back to you.
I love you. We've been
together for 15 years.
How can you just simply break it up?
Yes, I had an affair
but it’s in the past now.
That’s enough. Forgive me
and let’s go home. I need you.
Kolya, I filed for divorce.
What divorce? Are you
a fool? I'm a lawyer.
I'll leave without any
money and the apartment...
Moveover, I earned it with my own work.
Do I ask for anything from you?
What do you hate me
for so much? I'm a fool!
I have been a real
fool not to value you.
What shall I do to make you
forgive me? What else can I do?
"Do you want a baby? Let’s
find a surrogate mother; "
she'll bear your child. Do
you want a girl or a boy?
Do you have somebody?
Who is he? Do I know him?
What difference does it make?
A big one! You're my wife!
I want to know who is
sleeping with my wife!
Look, Kolya, let’s not talk about that.
You're not in a position to reproach me.
I had a little affair
that came and went.
And you're openly living
with somebody! I hate you!
You’re behaving like a whore. You wanted
to revenge on me,
didn't you? You did well.
What a whore! How could she?
Calm down. Where did I see that jacket?
It was on a chair
when I last came there.
And there was... Kostya!
Kira's ex-husband! That scum!
This is who she is sleeping
with. It was before Marina.
What a whore! I wish I
found him and... Calm down.
Beating him up won't help.
I could try it, though.
What will I say to him? What
can one do in such situation?
You can offer him money.
You're a genius. I'll give him money.
What if he doesn't take it? What
if he is a man of principles?
It'll be even simpler.
Men of principles easily
succumb to pity. Let’s go.
Where are we going? Home?
To Marina. I must talk to her.
Valya! Get ready to go to granny.
Uncle Kolya will come soon.
Mum, may I stay with you?
When Uncle Kolya marries me
you may stay with us. Get ready.
Honey, has something happened?
Yes, it has. Rose filed for the divorce.
But this is good.
This is not all. She has a lover now.
It hurts so much. I
hope it’s not my ulcer.
You drank, didn't you?
What did you drink for?
The doctors prohibited you!
Marina, I didn't come here
to listen to your advice.
Do you hear what I
said? Rose has somebody!
So what? I don't understand
why it irritates you so much.
It's because she is my wife.
Men are so predictable. If
she begged you to come back
you wouldn't even look in her direction.
But she decided to be the
first to file for the divorce.
And she got you mad.
Look, you started thinking
that you love your Rose only
after she filed for the divorce.
You don't need her in reality.
This is not true. I always loved her.
What about me? Who am I for you?
Stop it!
It’s your fault!
You broke my family.
You did it yourself. You're
losing your close ones
because you don't love anybody.
This is not true. I love
people. I defend them.
Do you know how many people I helped?
You weren't helping them
because you loved them.
You're a Narcissus. You
love yourself so much
that you can't see anything
around. You're ready
to defend anybody except
for your loved ones.
I don't understand one
thing. I'm a respected man.
Half a country knows me.
I'm an independent rich man.
Why am I listening to some stewardess?
You're an independent man, aren't
you? Stop lying to yourself!
You're a boy other boys
didn't want to play with.
That’s why you're full
of bile. Yes, you grew up,
you have an expensive suit and
a good car but you're a still
a boy from the Soviet past.
Rose won't come back to you
because you can't love.
And one shall love a woman,
one shall tell her so.
Otherwise she would either stop
being a woman or leave for another man.
Your Rose went through both stages.
First she stopped being a woman and then
she left you for another man.
By the way, I respect her for that.
I hope her new man will be much better.
Mum, has Uncle Kolya left?
He did. He'll never come back again.
Well, princess? Do you
still want to cut your hair?
Yes!
Well... we need to keep
the aerodynamic compositions
of mutual positioning of main units.
We won't change the edging of the wings.
We'll change the main
part of the fuselage,
strengthen the wing,
make vertical empennage
but without the combs.
Air intakes will be here.
The boss said that will
make the construction heavier
than it should be. We
shall think it over.
We shall think it over.
Yes. Who? Nicolay? Yes, I remember.
You were in Rose's and Kira's
summer cottage. I'm listening.
About what? All right.
You see, Kostya, Rose and I
have been together for 15 years.
Yes, Rose told me so.
Not everything was all right.
But I wouldn't call
our marriage a failure.
I'll tell you one silly thing
but you'll understand me.
Are you ready to spend
all your life with her?
I'm ready.
Are you sure? What if you're mistaken?
When you were married
with Kira, her friend,
you must have thought that it
would last forever. Am I right?
Yes, of course.
Do you see? I lived 15
years with her and I'm ready
to live twice that time. How
long have you been together?
Half a year? A year?
A month and a half.
This is not much.
The main thing is for her
not to get disappointed in me.
But I won't let it happen.
We'll have a family.
We'll have kids and bring
them up. We'll love them.
You want to have children, don't you?
Yes I do.
Then you're in for a problem.
Rose can't have children.
Didn't she tell you
how much time and money we
wasted on her treatments?
Of course she told me about
that. We'll adopt children.
You must understand that
you're just strangers.
You met accidentally and
you'll separate eventually.
And we have been together for 15 years.
If you have strength, leave her.
All right, I'll think your words over.
Thank you.
You have enough pelmenis for a week.
You won't stay hungry.
Don't get delayed. You're
leaving me for an entire week!
Honey, don't break my heart.
You know that I don't want
to go anywhere. Do you want me to stay?
I do!
I'm staying, then.
No, you shall go.
What? Eat!
I love you very much. I've
never loved anybody so much.
Be my wife.
Nevolin, are you asking me to marry you?
Yes, I am. But think it
over well. Will you be able
to spend the rest of your life with me?
I am.
Wait. Think it over
well. I'm not a present.
Really? What's wrong about you?
First of all, I was
your friend's husband.
So what? Bad nature isn't contagious.
You might hear that I
used to live with one girl,
and when it didn't work out
I diverted my attention
to her girlfriends.
I'm all right with that. Is
that all what worries you?
"I'm not rich; I'm just
a common engineer. "
And I'm almost 40. What has happened?
If you decide to go back to your husband
I'll understand. I won't get hurt.
Wait. Did you talk to Nicolay?
Nevolin, for 15 years I had
been married to a right-defender
who was extremely good
at lying. You're a baby
in comparison to him.
Did you talk to him?
Yes.
What did he say?
That I won't be able to make you happy.
Is that all?
More or less.
He told you that I can't have
children, didn't he? Am I right?
He said something like that
but I wasn't paying attention.
You know that I have Ivan.
I don't need more children.
I'm a bad father.
No, I tried being a father
but it didn't work out well.
Look, I love you very much. I need you.
Fish! Fish, fish...
Why is that? I had a dream
interpreter here somewhere.
So... fish.
If a woman sees a fish in her dream
it means that she is pregnant.
This is impossible.
Good bye.
Four weeks. When did it happen?
Good morning.
Come in, Gosha.
Good morning.
Coffee is on the oven,
sandwiches are in the fridge.
Here is a newspaper and a letter.
What is this? From the court?
It must be on Tyurin's case.
No, I won't let you have Tyurin, guys.
Be present in the court
for... The divorce!
Damn it! How could she? And that...
I'll think your proposition over!
Nicolay Sergeyevitch...
Let's turn to plan B.
Hi, this is me. Is Ivan ready?
I've thought of a great program.
First the carting and then a cafe.
Kira, why are we standing on
a threshold? May I come in?
What’s wrong? What has happened?
Nicolay called me and
told about Nevolin and you.
This is not true, right?
This is true, after all!
Kira, I'm sorry, it
all happened so fast!
What did happen fast? Did you
start sleeping with my ex fast?
Or did you get used to your
husband's unfaithfulness fast
and found another man fast?
Kira...
What? There were 11
mln people in Moscow.
Did you need my ex-husband?
Kira, this is not so.
How is that? You have always
been sympathetic with me,
but I'm living my own life.
Did I ask you about that?
Kira, this is not true.
I always supported you.
Yes, you were supporting
me. You were giving me money
when I was broke. But
you never believed in me.
I'm your friend... such an
inexplicable and crazy girl!
Kira, why are you doing that?
Why? I’m the one who should ask “why”!
What do you hate me for?
Did you need Nevolin?
Kira, we have been
together for so many years!
What are you talking about?
Go home.
You have no friend anymore.
Yes, Liza. Hi, just a moment,
I got a call on the second line.
Yes? One minute, Nicolay.
I have a person waiting on
the first line. Yes, Liza.
Look, this is not urgent.
Live there as long as you want.
I’ve just come down from a
plane. I’m terribly tired.
Let’s do it tomorrow.
Tomorrow after dinner. Bye.
Yes, Nicolay, I’m listening.
Look, Nicolay, I thought your
offer over and I won’t leave her.
I’ve just come down from the plane.
Let’s discuss it over the phone.
All right.
What did you want to discuss?
Any problems with the divorce?
There is only one problem.
I am not going to divorce.
This is your problem. You’ll have too.
We’re not living in the Middle Ages
when the Church prohibited divorces.
Let’s talk openly. I’m a
serious man. I know what I want.
I have a business offer to you.
Wait. Let me talk to the end.
Don’t interrupt. Maybe my
offer will seem awful to you,
but believe me, this is not
so. If you agree to my offer
you’ll get many new opportunities.
You will be able to buy a
new suit. A new modern car.
Or go abroad, see the world.
You’ll have many new
impressions… and women.
I think I know what you’re
talking about. How much?
50,000. Dollars, of course.
This is not serious.
Not serious? All right, let
it be 75,000. But this is all.
You’re so greedy!
Damn you! One hundred!
Consider me a bankrupt.
Do you agree?
No. Do you want me to tell you a secret?
I talked to Rose before our meeting.
I offered her to marry
me, and she agreed.
She couldn’t have agreed.
She is still my wife.
She is my wife. And I don’t sell wives.
Are you teasing me, boy? Will
you take the money or not?
Go to hell!
First! Come here! We have a fight!
There you go. They’ll
isolate him temporarily.
He’ll spend some time away
from Rose. It’ll give me time
to think of something.
And now I need your help.
Georgiy, hi.
Hello, Rose Vitalyevna.
Your husband has problems.
What has happened?
Nicolay Sergeyevitch is sick.
His ulcer must be bleeding.
Is he in the hospital?
He doesn’t want to go to the
hospital. He wants to see you.
He says he’ll die if you fail to come.
Gosha, I can’t. You
know, I really can’t.
He’ll die. You know how stubborn he is.
All right. Good. I’ll get ready now.
What’s the matter, Rose
Vitalyevna? What’s wrong?
My belly… it hurts.
It’s all right. I’ll
take you to the hospital.
Please find Kostya.
Kolya? What is with the baby?
He is all right. This is so unfair!
We tried to have a baby so many times,
and now you conceived from another man.
This is useless. I talked to him.
He decided to go back to his fiancee.
This is not true.
This is true. I talked to him.
He asked not to call him
not to disturb the girl.
This baby will be ours. Just
ours. I’ll be a very good father.
Kolya, I don’t love you anymore.
Honey, sometime will pass,
and you’ll forget it all.
Let’s go home now.
Everything will be all right.
Here is the taxi.
A taxi? Where is Gosha?
I don’t know. He disappeared somewhere.
Kostya? Kostya!
Don’t do it, Nicolay Sergeyevitch.
Will you stop me?
I will if need be. You
better let her go yourself.
Can’t you see? It should be so.
We’ll have a baby.
I know.
Are you glad? Or aren’t you?
Why do you think so? I’m very glad.
You said that you didn’t
want to have more children,
that Ivan was enough for you.
What else could I have told you?
That I didn’t need an infertile woman?
Kostya, you’re so good!
Gosha!
Thank you!
You’re welcome.
Thank you.
Be careful, it’s heavy.
Really? I didn’t notice.
You’re a sportsman, aren’t you?
I used to me.
Kira! Kira, I’m so glad to see you.
Rose! Rose, forgive me,
please. I’m such a fool!
I had to wish you happiness, and I…
It’s all right. Don’t worry. Let’s go.
Kira, watch it to the
end and then argue.
The last movie by Woody
Allen is a masterpiece!
Gireyev, you’re wrong.
I won’t agree with you.
Tell me please…
First of all, people of our country
don’t understand such
humor, and secondly…
Do you argue about cinema at home too?
Stop arguing. Cinema is individual art.
Everybody sees something for
himself in it. Am I right?
Let’s drink!
I’ll have a walk.
Don’t go too far, Vanya.
If you fall in love
with a woman for real,
her social status, profits
or age won’t concern you.
One loves not for money,
apartments or career possibilities.
One just loves a woman.
Otherwise it’s not love.

Yes, Kira. Thank you.
Thank you for the greetings.
I'll tell that to Kolya.
No, he hasn't come yet.
He is a bit late. I don't know.
He must have gone to buy the flowers.
It’s our 15-year wedding
anniversary, after all!
He can't leave me without a bouquet.
General Producers
- Natalia Bilan and Vlad Ryashin
It’s better this way.
Your hands are so tender.
A bit higher, please, a
bit higher. Yes, yes, yes!
Rose!
He has come. Bye!
Rose, we have visitors.
This is Peter from Germany.
He came here for a
symposium on human rights.
Hello. I'm Rose.
I speak Russian.
Nice to meet you. How was your flight?
The flight was excellent.
We landed on the second
attempt, though. But...
Moscow! What a windy city!
He is pretending to be a foreigner
but in reality he is our compatriot.
Petya from Ryazan! Here you go.
Hello, Rose Vitalyevna.
Good evening, Georgiy.
It smells so good! You work miracles!
How did you get to know
that we'll have visitors?
Will you sit with us?
No. I still have some
homeworks to correct.
I'll go to the summer
cottage this evening.
I need to water flowers. Have fun!
Kira, hello, this is Kostya. Hello!
You're disappearing somewhere. Hello?
Kira, look, I have a request for you.
"May I spend a night at your
place? Nothing has happened; "
I just want to spend some time alone.
What are you doing in Sochi?
Oh, the festival! Very good.
What do I do? Where should
I go? To the summer cottage?
A summer cottage is a
good thing, it'll suit me.
You rented it together
with Rose, didn’t you?
All right, tell me the
address, I'll put it down.
Hey! What are you doing here?
I'm looking for a key.
What key?
A spare one.
I'll call the neighbors now.
No need to call the
neighbors. I've found it.
What are you doing here?
I know you. You're Rose.
Kostya?
I'm sorry. I called
Kira and asked her to...
I needed a place to spend the
night. She let me stay here.
It's all right.
It looks like my crazy friend
- to call her former husband
to a summer cottage
without even warning me.
You changed. You used to
be a redhead and now...
The redhead is gone. So... don't smoke.
I don’t smoke.
Don't make any noise. I hope
I have nothing to fear about.
What do you mean?
I hope you won't get any
thoughts concerning me.
Oh, this... No, no. Everything
will be fine. Good night.
“I hope you won't get any
thoughts concerning me”.
Who needs you apart
from your own husband?
What did you do? I asked
you not to make noise.
I just wanted to drink
some tea. I'm thirsty.
You won't be able to boil
the water in this one.
It’s broken. I have no
time to buy a new one
and I’m too greedy to
throw the old one away.
I'll clean it. Thank you, kind woman.
I'm sorry for bringing
you so much trouble.
It’s all right. I can’t sleep anyway.
Tell me, how did you come to such life?
Kira should have warned me, though.
She invited you but said nothing to me.
She forgot. You know
what her life is like.
Meetings, discussions, a
war with that... Gantelin...
Gireyev.
Yes, that critic...
When did you last see Ivan?
Recently. He grew up
so much. He is so tall
and lean now... despite his 11 years.
12.
Yes, he is almost 12. Kira told
me he already has a girlfriend.
Are you going to marry yourself?
I see.
What about your work? Are
you designing aircrafts?
You used to study in the
Aviation Construction Institute
when you and Kira were married.
I don't design planes, Rose. I
work for a firm that washes them.
You dreamt of designing
them, didn't you?
Life changed. I got an offer
and I couldn't refuse it.
How did you end up here?
Looking like this?
Has something happened?
Nothing. I dropped in
the bar, started to drink.
Then I drank too much.
Everything is fine.
Wait. Why are you here? This
summer cottage is Kira’s.
We rented it for two families.
Wait. Why are you here
alone, without your husband?
You are married, aren't you?
I am. He got delayed at work.
Who is he?
He is a lawyer.
He has lots of work. He defends
everybody, helps everybody,
sympathizes with everybody…
What about you?
What about me? I have
my pupils, the school,
their homework. Such crazy days...
Yes, but... you like it, don't
you? You always loved children.
Right.
Where have you been? I
called all our friends,
all the morgues, all the hospitals!
I'm sorry. Do you
remember the Kolganovs?
They started the move
and asked me to help them.
I helped them, and later... You know.
Why didn't you answer your phone?
I almost got mad from worrying!
My phone got discharged. I
never forget to charge it but...
It just happened so. Forgive me, please.
A drunk! One can't
even quarrel with you!
All right...
Take a shower! You smell like a trump!
How is the summer cottage?
Everything is fine. Shall
I make you some coffee?
No, thank you.
Maybe tea?
I don't want anything.
Tell me, how was your morning?
It was all right. I got a
call from a radio station.
I refused them.
Why?
They are weird guys. I was there once.
They didn't give me
the opportunity to talk.
The host was interrupting
me all the time.
He was clearly in love with
himself. It was a bad program.
Look, I have a terrible headache.
I don't want to listen to that nonsense.
Take some aspirin. You asked me
to tell you about it yourself.
You're right. I'm
sorry. I have a headache.
What were you doing yesterday?
Nothing. I was sitting
at home taking pills.
Then Kurakin dropped in.
And?
Nothing. He spent some time
with me. Are you jealous?
How can you? How can you
be jealous of Kurakin?
He is... He is a poet.
Lermontov was a poet
too. But it didn’t present
a cheated husband from
killing him at a duel.
Stop! Don't you dare kill
Kurakin. He won't take it well.
Besides he is very
good. When he got to know
that I fell ill he sat with me
all the evening, brewed me tea,
told me about physiognomy
and even showed
how one can determine one's
roots by the face traits.
Look, I didn’t know that
you were such Othello!
Liza, marry me!
Will they stand for long?
For two weeks at least.
Oh, sure! Two days at most.
You don't give any guarantees
and one can say anything.
If they wither fast
you're in for a trouble,
Yes? I'm opening. Valya, get ready.
Mum, I haven't finished!
You'll finish that at your granny.
Hi, beauty. All boys will
you yours with such hair.
This is what I tell her, and
she wants to do a haircut.
Don't you dare, do you get it?
Valya, why don't you
say hello to Uncle Kolya?
Hello.
Hello! Go! Granny is waiting for you.
My Nefertiti.
Thank you, my pharaoh.
Nevolin, look how beautiful it is!
Yes, it is beautiful. But
it's good for a melodrama,
for a movie. It's too much
for real life. You know,
I got an invitation from
the Design Bureau of Sobolev.
You know that I always
dreamt about designing planes.
That idea again? We’re going to marry.
We shall somehow get our life in order.
We wanted to buy a larger apartment.
You dreamt of an home
office, didn't you?
I still dream about it.
Do you remember how we met?
Of course. Dad was
conducting negotiations.
And then you appeared.
You were so funny.
You offered to dedicate a plane to me.
You must have thought
that you were irresistible.
Such a romantic lover...
Yes. I used to be funny
indeed. A real madman.
I was obsessed with an idea to
construct a new kind of plane,
to design airliners. Who am
I now? I'm a plane-cleaner.
Nevolin, you're not a cleaner.
You don't stand there
with a hose, do you?
You're working for a respected
company that washes planes.
You’re not just any employer.
You’re the owner's right hand.
Really! You may change
your job any time.
But let’s marry first,
go for the honeymoon
and think about that later!
Yes, Kira. What has happened?
Kira, I had some plans for
today. Meet him yourself.
All right, I'll bring him to you. Bye.
What can I do? What?
We wanted to spend the
weekend together, didn't we?
We did.
What if we go to look
for a dress all together –
me, you and Ivan? How
do you like this idea?
Will we look for the shoes too?
Of course!
Do you know that you're very handsome?
You have eyes of most incredible color.
You’re flattering me.
Your eyes are incredible.
Like the eyes of an
Egyptian's princess's.
What color are your wife’s eyes?
They are grey. You found great time
to talk about my wife's eyes.
I'm sorry. I want to know
whom I'm sharing my man with.
Do you love her?
Yes, very much. What a bad
manner to ask silly questions
and then to get hurt at the answers!
She is a great person
and a very good friend.
Again?
This is a very good variant.
Do you remember Svetlov?
He is the director of a radio
station and he needs an assistant.
This is a very good job, really.
I like my job.
What kind of job is that
- to flirt with the passengers?
What are you doing during your flights?
You're jealous, aren't
you? Do as we agreed.
When you leave Rose I'll leave my job
and be with you all the time.
You know I can't leave her. I can't.
We have been together for 15 years.
She won't live without me.
And I won't live with you.
What do you need that for?
You could live on your own.
It's good to be on your
own... for a year or two.
And after this time one wants
to die because of being alone.
Why don't you like Liza? She is
good. She is kind and reliable.
When you were marrying mum
did you say that she was
kind and reliable too?
I still think so. It’s just that...
we didn't manage to live under one roof.
You only lived together
for a year and a bit.
You have lived with this girl longer.
Stop talking about Liza in this way!
She has no connection to the
problems between your mum and me.
I'm an adult. I have a right
to have private life and...
a bit of respect.
How do you like it?
Wow! You're the most
beautiful bride in the world!
This is true! Vanya, tell her!
I think this dress
makes you look fatter.
It's not a fault of a dress, though…
Go to the car and wait for me
there. Go, go! I told you to go!
Look, don't get hurt. He is just a boy
and he has no sense of
humor. Let me take him home
and get back to you.
I'll go with you.
What for? You'll quarrel again.
Stop talking nonsense! He
is teasing me all the time.
I treat him well, by the
way. Plus it doesn't matter
whether your son likes that or
not, but I'll become your wife
all the same. So he'll
have to communicate with me.
What do you have to go with us for?
Let me take him there and go back.
I love riding! I'll stay in the
car. Look, I don't understand.
Are you afraid of showing me to your ex?
Maybe you're shy of me?
Liza, eat salad. It’s our house
specialty, cooked in accordance
with the granny's recipe.
It was the first dish
that I learned to cook.
Kostya's mum taught me.
By the way, Kostya likes it very much.
Kostya is not very choosy.
How weird! He used to
pick at his plate for ages.
The years of bachelor life
must have influenced him.
What are you doing in life, Liza?
I'm a freelancer. I
write articles on fashion,
on modern trends...
Rose, sorry for intruding.
It's all right. Go, or
they'll notice your absence.
They won't. They are trying
to outtalk each other.
Rose, I wanted to tell you...
Say nothing. Consider
that nothing has happened.
I can't stop thinking about you.
You’re saying
- the West, European education, European cinema...
Gireyev... do you know
Gireyev? He is a famous critic.
He is bowing to the West as
if we had no Eisenstein, Romm,
Tarkovskiy, as if we don't know
how to make cinema ourselves.
Will you ever calm down?
Auntie Rose, she'll never calm down.
Don't interfere in adults'
talk! And stop snatching bites!
Take a piece, sit down and eat properly!
You became absolutely
uncontrollable, Ivan!
What was I talking about?
About the West. I don't
know about the movies
but the West is very
good at making clothes.
Let’s stop talking about the art, girls.
Let’s talk about the meat.
I don't know. It seems to me
that they’re poisoning
us with their ideology.
You have a real banquet here!
Kolya, you came right in time.
Kostya made great meat for us.
Sit down. I'll bring you a plate.
Nicolay.
Konstantin. This is Liza, my fiancee.
Hello.
Kira.
Hi.
What are we going to drink?
You're saying that you have
been living with my husband
for a long time. But it
is physically impossible.
Why? Do you doubt your
husband's abilities?
I didn't mean that. But
Kolya is busy all the time.
He has endless symposiums
and business trips.
And in the evenings
he is always at home.
Women's shortsightedness
never seems to amaze me.
Shall I remind you
all his business trips?
Why are you saying that to
me? We have a good family.
Rose, stop it. You
don't even have children.
What kind of family is that?
Kolya and I love each other.
He feels sorry for
you. Frankly speaking,
a man like Kolya needs a bright woman.
Like you?
He doesn't need a housewife for sure.
I'm not a housewife.
Yes, you're teaching from time to time.
Kolya is not interested in
you. Do you remember him leaving
for negotiations in February?
I was with him. Look.
This photo was taken
when we were in Italy.
He told you that he was
going to a symposium.
Do you want to see some
more? I have photos from Spain
and England. We went there with Valya.
What Valya?
Valya is my daughter. Kolya
loves her very much. Rose, dear,
don't stand in the way of
our happiness. Let him go!
Hi.
Hi.
Are you going somewhere?
Yes, I'm leaving.
Where to?
Nowhere. I'm leaving you.
Can you explain what is going on?
Nothing is going on. Marina came.
What Marina?
You know what Marina. Will you deny it?
No, I won't. Rose,
forgive me, I did wrong.
You see, I work so much...
I don't want to understand anything.
I'll correct my mistake.
It was just an infatuation…
Infatuation? You were living
with her behind my back.
She showed me the photos.
How could you, Kolya?
I wasted half of my
life on your comforts.
I was cooking soups for you and
ironing your expensive shirts.
I forgot about myself for your sake.
Do you know something? I wasn't
doing nothing all these years.
Do you know how hard it is
to perform well in courts?
All right, I made a mistake. Yes.
But you can give me
another chance, can't you?
No. I owe you nothing.
Have you forgotten
about how we used to
live after the wedding?
We could hardly make the
ends meet, but all this time
I was by your side. Though
I could have left you.
I was beautiful then.
You don't remember it now.
Now you're handsome and successful
and I'm just a pitiful housewife.
You're defending everybody,
Kolya. Who will defend me?
Why? What should one defend you from?
From loneliness. And from
your terrible indifference.
It is not indifference,
Rose. Please understand.
Sometimes one has to hide,
to escape the usual world...
You’re free. You may go
to that world forever.
What shall I do? Forgive
me! What else shall I do?
You've always been a loyal friend to me.
This is right. I used
to be your loyal friend.
A loyal friend, a cleaner,
a personal secretary –
anybody except for a woman.
You forgot that I am a woman,
Kolya. You forgot about that
to the point that I
forgot about that myself.
Rose!
I understand the situation
with the Aeroflot.
But it's an interesting
case with the Siberia.
We shall negotiate it. Hand
this case over to Sergey.
He is a smart guy, he'll sort it out.
You know, I'll work on it myself.
I don't get it. This
is your last week here.
I wanted to tell you that I
changed my mind about leaving.
What do you mean
- you changed you mind?
You dreamt of designing
planes, didn't you?
I thought that... Liza and I are
going to marry and to have kids.
A dream is a good
thing, of course but...
this is not the right time.
Kostya, when will the time
be right? When you retire?
I think it's not your idea but Liza's.
These are her words, am I right?
Alexei Ivanovitch, I've thought
it over well. I shall go.
Sit down! Sit down! Why did
I hire you? What do you think?
Do you think I did it because
you're my daughter’s boyfriend?
If I hired all her admirers
I'd have gone bankrupt long ago.
I hired you because you're
like me, just 20 years younger.
I dreamt to design planes
too. It didn't happen.
First it was hard to
enter the faculty, then...
the Soviet Union collapsed and
the industry went down with it.
They paid kopeks in
the Research Institutes.
Liza's mother persuaded
me that a bird in the hand
is better than two in the bush.
Maybe she was right. You
have a prosperous company.
The sphere of activities is the same.
Yes. But I still feel bad
because I didn't try it.
Kostya, I know my Liza. I love her.
I worry whether you'll love her
in ten years, when you realize
that you buried your
dream because of her.
Mum, may I go to Yulya?
You better do the
dishes. You’re so lazy!
Why are you like this
the second day in a row?
Like what?
Like this.
Will you explain?
What is there to be explained?
I don't understand it. What
did you want to achieve?
What right did you have to
interfere in my private life?
What rights do I have? You’re
treating me like your favorite toy.
Don't you see what I really want?
Hello, Uncle Kolya.
Valya, you wanted to
visit Yulya, didn't you?
Honey, we have already
discussed it one hundred times.
So what? You're saying that
you feel sorry for your wife.
Who will feel sorry for
me? You're jealous of me.
You won't let me go
anywhere without you.
How many years shall I wait
for you? Five? Ten? Fifteen?
Your color was not beautiful.
The tone was a bit... unpleasant.
No, I didn't do anything
radical. I just added some color
and volume. It’s good
now, it seems to me. Right?
Let me tell you how to make a hairdo.
Look, spray some
conditioner on the wet hair,
massage it with your hands and...
Yes, yes. I remember everything well.
I'll get my suit at seven. No, no.
I'll take the invitations
from the printing house. Yes.
And go for the suit at 8.
Yes. Yes, yes. I remember.
Kisses. Bye.
Look, I don't know if she agrees but...
My friends are looking for
a private English teacher.
I thought about Rose.
Give me her phone number
please. One second.
Hello.
Hello.
You're very beautiful.
Stop it! People are watching.
Let them watch.
Did you want to say something?
Yes. Yes. I designed the wings.
You see, I designed new wings.
Yes, but wings have
been invented long ago.
No, no, these are my wings.
They are the wings
of my future aircraft.
They are beautiful. Why do they
face the opposite direction?
They are sweepforward. They
optimize the pressure distribution.
It’s simple though it is
rather difficult to explain.
I'd drink some coffee.
You see, you're doing well.
It’s not very difficult.
It’s a bit like dancing.
Do you like dancing?
I can't dance.
Really? I'll teach you.
We'll regret it, won't we?
We won't.
You have a fiancee.
And you have a husband.
I have a husband.
Plus I'm older than you.
For two years?
For five.
You’re lying. You’re so beautiful!
And one more thing. I know
nothing about you, Nevolin.
What do you want to know about me?
I want to know everything about you.
I'm your friend's ex-husband.
I'm an aviation designer
who is currently washing planes.
Why are you washing them?
You dreamt of designing them.
I got an invitation but... I refused.
Why?
The time hasn't come.
When will the time
come? When you retire?
You know, one very clever
person said the same to me.
It means I'm very clever.
Rose?
Who is it?
Kira. I forgot that she was to come.
Rose!
Move it!
Damn it!
Rose! Why didn't you open at once?
I fell asleep, can you imagine?
I understand. After all that...
What do you mean?
Stop playing up, Rose.
I know everything.
Kira, do you know about me and...
Yes.
How did you get to know?
He told me himself.
He called and told me.
He was crying too. I think
you should have told me
about that at once. Do you think
I would defend that bastard?
Why is he a bastard?
One could see at once that he is a stud.
Really? Is that true?
Of course it is true!
So you're not mad at me, are you?
Why would I get mad at
you? He is not my relative!
I don't want to see that womanizer!
My poor girl! How did you live with him?
With whom?
With Kostya.
With Kostya? With what Kostya?
Nevolin.
Nevolin? What does
Nevolin have to do with it?
You said yourself that he was a bastard.
Who?
Nevolin.
I was talking about Nicolay and you!
What does Nevolin have to do
with it? I don't understand!
Kira, thank you. I needed
your support very much.
Right. What is there?
The cats, I think.
Nevolin is a real
angel. He is so pedantic!
When he was leaving home
he was already running back!
Guys, how are you? Is
everything all right? Very good.
We're starting in 15 minutes.
The performance is about to begin.
I feel very uncomfortable,
but I still don't know
what a performance is.
Oh, God! I'm going to marry a savage.
Listen to me attentively. A
performance is an artistic action
in which the artist
is using his body to...
Wait, wait! Will Kurakin
perform a striptease now?
Nevolin, you're incredible!
The dawn. Insomnia, you won.
You have been taking me
along dark and empty corridors
all the night through.
Insomnia, open the door for me.
The beast will wail feeling the dawn...
Lyusya Chigis. She is
a very talented artist.
Look, why are they crawling there?
They are drawing something.
What are they playing?
A beast that feels the arrival
of dawn or the insomnia itself?
Find the solution, oh,
man, find the solution!
Find a question and guess an
answer! I'm ready to serve you too,
to tell fortunes with
my dry jealous lips!
It's great, isn't it? Robert
is a genius, after all!
Do you like it?
It's all right. But I don't understand
what Mandelshtam has to do with it.
What Mandelshtam?
Osip Emilyevitch. The Russian…
I mean the Soviet poet.
He wrote these lines: "I'm
ready to serve you as well".
I don't know. It must have been
the idea. What's the matter?
It's hard to satisfy you.
You're a real wild man!
Your Kurakin is a plagiarist.
Bravo!
Confess that you
understand nothing in art.
I confess. But your Kurakin
is still a plagiarist.
He should have taken something simpler.
And he took a Mandelshtam’s poem!
Try to understand that
Mandelshtam is a form.
And Kurakin is a... content.
Really?
Yes.
This is the only case when a form
is more interesting than the content.
You're a real savage indeed.
A word can't satisfy my thirty lips.
Without you the air
is empty for me again.
God, you should have asked
me to marry you earlier.
Dresses shaped like
bells are in fashion now.
But they don't become me at
all. I have an idea, though.
What if I have a trousers
suit instead of a dress?
I could decorate it with
nice fabric and add a hat!
Yes, maybe.
Liza... I'm a bastard, a real brat.
You'll be right not to forgive me.
I've already forgiven you, Nevolin.
Liza, I... I can't marry you.
Stop it! Did you get hurt
that I called you a
savage? It was a joke!
Do you have another woman?
Who is she?
She is married. She will
never leave her husband.
It doesn't matter. I was
not talking about that.
Wait. What about our wedding?
Liza, I won't be able
to make your happy.
You see, we're too different.
We are not compatible.
You're so bright, you like parties.
I am thinking about a family
and I want to have children.
You never wanted children.
You never offered me to have
kids. I'll want them with time.
No, Liza. This is it. You see,
it’s some infatuation but...
I'm thinking about her all the time.
I love her.
Rose...
Kostya. Kostya...
I've been waiting for you.
I left my fiancee.
I left my husband too.
Wait. Why didn't you tell me?
I didn't want to spoil your life.
It's beautiful, isn't it?
Do you know what I found
out? I have no friends.
Can you imagine that? I have
been defending people all my life.
But I have no friends.
At all. Are you my friend?
Right, you're not. Where
are my friends? Take Rose.
She is not my friend anymore.
Do you remember Rose, Gosha?
She is not my friend anymore.
What will you say about that?
I'll say that you're a big
boss, Nicolay Sergeyevitch.
Well... I'm a big boss indeed.
But where are my friends?
I have no friends too. But
you have a brilliant mind.
You'll think of a way to
get Rose Vitalyevna back.
I will get her back. Why
not? Wait for me in the car.
I'll come down in some
20 minutes. That’s it.
"You had some rest; now
it’s time to go home. "
Rose, start packing.
Where are your things?
Let’s go home! Stop playing up!
I won't go anywhere.
Why?
Because I don't want to.
What do you want? Do you want
me to prostrate at your feet
begging to forgive me?
No.
What do you want, then?
I don't want anything. Just leave.
Yes, I'm guilty. Rose, I made a mistake.
But you're a clever adult
woman. You must forgive me.
I forgive you. But I
won't come back to you.
I love you. We've been
together for 15 years.
How can you just simply break it up?
Yes, I had an affair
but it’s in the past now.
That’s enough. Forgive me
and let’s go home. I need you.
Kolya, I filed for divorce.
What divorce? Are you
a fool? I'm a lawyer.
I'll leave without any
money and the apartment...
Moveover, I earned it with my own work.
Do I ask for anything from you?
What do you hate me
for so much? I'm a fool!
I have been a real
fool not to value you.
What shall I do to make you
forgive me? What else can I do?
"Do you want a baby? Let’s
find a surrogate mother; "
she'll bear your child. Do
you want a girl or a boy?
Do you have somebody?
Who is he? Do I know him?
What difference does it make?
A big one! You're my wife!
I want to know who is
sleeping with my wife!
Look, Kolya, let’s not talk about that.
You're not in a position to reproach me.
I had a little affair
that came and went.
And you're openly living
with somebody! I hate you!
You’re behaving like a whore. You wanted
to revenge on me,
didn't you? You did well.
What a whore! How could she?
Calm down. Where did I see that jacket?
It was on a chair
when I last came there.
And there was... Kostya!
Kira's ex-husband! That scum!
This is who she is sleeping
with. It was before Marina.
What a whore! I wish I
found him and... Calm down.
Beating him up won't help.
I could try it, though.
What will I say to him? What
can one do in such situation?
You can offer him money.
You're a genius. I'll give him money.
What if he doesn't take it? What
if he is a man of principles?
It'll be even simpler.
Men of principles easily
succumb to pity. Let’s go.
Where are we going? Home?
To Marina. I must talk to her.
Valya! Get ready to go to granny.
Uncle Kolya will come soon.
Mum, may I stay with you?
When Uncle Kolya marries me
you may stay with us. Get ready.
Honey, has something happened?
Yes, it has. Rose filed for the divorce.
But this is good.
This is not all. She has a lover now.
It hurts so much. I
hope it’s not my ulcer.
You drank, didn't you?
What did you drink for?
The doctors prohibited you!
Marina, I didn't come here
to listen to your advice.
Do you hear what I
said? Rose has somebody!
So what? I don't understand
why it irritates you so much.
It's because she is my wife.
Men are so predictable. If
she begged you to come back
you wouldn't even look in her direction.
But she decided to be the
first to file for the divorce.
And she got you mad.
Look, you started thinking
that you love your Rose only
after she filed for the divorce.
You don't need her in reality.
This is not true. I always loved her.
What about me? Who am I for you?
Stop it!
It’s your fault!
You broke my family.
You did it yourself. You're
losing your close ones
because you don't love anybody.
This is not true. I love
people. I defend them.
Do you know how many people I helped?
You weren't helping them
because you loved them.
You're a Narcissus. You
love yourself so much
that you can't see anything
around. You're ready
to defend anybody except
for your loved ones.
I don't understand one
thing. I'm a respected man.
Half a country knows me.
I'm an independent rich man.
Why am I listening to some stewardess?
You're an independent man, aren't
you? Stop lying to yourself!
You're a boy other boys
didn't want to play with.
That’s why you're full
of bile. Yes, you grew up,
you have an expensive suit and
a good car but you're a still
a boy from the Soviet past.
Rose won't come back to you
because you can't love.
And one shall love a woman,
one shall tell her so.
Otherwise she would either stop
being a woman or leave for another man.
Your Rose went through both stages.
First she stopped being a woman and then
she left you for another man.
By the way, I respect her for that.
I hope her new man will be much better.
Mum, has Uncle Kolya left?
He did. He'll never come back again.
Well, princess? Do you
still want to cut your hair?
Yes!
Well... we need to keep
the aerodynamic compositions
of mutual positioning of main units.
We won't change the edging of the wings.
We'll change the main
part of the fuselage,
strengthen the wing,
make vertical empennage
but without the combs.
Air intakes will be here.
The boss said that will
make the construction heavier
than it should be. We
shall think it over.
We shall think it over.
Yes. Who? Nicolay? Yes, I remember.
You were in Rose's and Kira's
summer cottage. I'm listening.
About what? All right.
You see, Kostya, Rose and I
have been together for 15 years.
Yes, Rose told me so.
Not everything was all right.
But I wouldn't call
our marriage a failure.
I'll tell you one silly thing
but you'll understand me.
Are you ready to spend
all your life with her?
I'm ready.
Are you sure? What if you're mistaken?
When you were married
with Kira, her friend,
you must have thought that it
would last forever. Am I right?
Yes, of course.
Do you see? I lived 15
years with her and I'm ready
to live twice that time. How
long have you been together?
Half a year? A year?
A month and a half.
This is not much.
The main thing is for her
not to get disappointed in me.
But I won't let it happen.
We'll have a family.
We'll have kids and bring
them up. We'll love them.
You want to have children, don't you?
Yes I do.
Then you're in for a problem.
Rose can't have children.
Didn't she tell you
how much time and money we
wasted on her treatments?
Of course she told me about
that. We'll adopt children.
You must understand that
you're just strangers.
You met accidentally and
you'll separate eventually.
And we have been together for 15 years.
If you have strength, leave her.
All right, I'll think your words over.
Thank you.
You have enough pelmenis for a week.
You won't stay hungry.
Don't get delayed. You're
leaving me for an entire week!
Honey, don't break my heart.
You know that I don't want
to go anywhere. Do you want me to stay?
I do!
I'm staying, then.
No, you shall go.
What? Eat!
I love you very much. I've
never loved anybody so much.
Be my wife.
Nevolin, are you asking me to marry you?
Yes, I am. But think it
over well. Will you be able
to spend the rest of your life with me?
I am.
Wait. Think it over
well. I'm not a present.
Really? What's wrong about you?
First of all, I was
your friend's husband.
So what? Bad nature isn't contagious.
You might hear that I
used to live with one girl,
and when it didn't work out
I diverted my attention
to her girlfriends.
I'm all right with that. Is
that all what worries you?
"I'm not rich; I'm just
a common engineer. "
And I'm almost 40. What has happened?
If you decide to go back to your husband
I'll understand. I won't get hurt.
Wait. Did you talk to Nicolay?
Nevolin, for 15 years I had
been married to a right-defender
who was extremely good
at lying. You're a baby
in comparison to him.
Did you talk to him?
Yes.
What did he say?
That I won't be able to make you happy.
Is that all?
More or less.
He told you that I can't have
children, didn't he? Am I right?
He said something like that
but I wasn't paying attention.
You know that I have Ivan.
I don't need more children.
I'm a bad father.
No, I tried being a father
but it didn't work out well.
Look, I love you very much. I need you.
Fish! Fish, fish...
Why is that? I had a dream
interpreter here somewhere.
So... fish.
If a woman sees a fish in her dream
it means that she is pregnant.
This is impossible.
Good bye.
Four weeks. When did it happen?
Good morning.
Come in, Gosha.
Good morning.
Coffee is on the oven,
sandwiches are in the fridge.
Here is a newspaper and a letter.
What is this? From the court?
It must be on Tyurin's case.
No, I won't let you have Tyurin, guys.
Be present in the court
for... The divorce!
Damn it! How could she? And that...
I'll think your proposition over!
Nicolay Sergeyevitch...
Let's turn to plan B.
Hi, this is me. Is Ivan ready?
I've thought of a great program.
First the carting and then a cafe.
Kira, why are we standing on
a threshold? May I come in?
What’s wrong? What has happened?
Nicolay called me and
told about Nevolin and you.
This is not true, right?
This is true, after all!
Kira, I'm sorry, it
all happened so fast!
What did happen fast? Did you
start sleeping with my ex fast?
Or did you get used to your
husband's unfaithfulness fast
and found another man fast?
Kira...
What? There were 11
mln people in Moscow.
Did you need my ex-husband?
Kira, this is not so.
How is that? You have always
been sympathetic with me,
but I'm living my own life.
Did I ask you about that?
Kira, this is not true.
I always supported you.
Yes, you were supporting
me. You were giving me money
when I was broke. But
you never believed in me.
I'm your friend... such an
inexplicable and crazy girl!
Kira, why are you doing that?
Why? I’m the one who should ask “why”!
What do you hate me for?
Did you need Nevolin?
Kira, we have been
together for so many years!
What are you talking about?
Go home.
You have no friend anymore.
Yes, Liza. Hi, just a moment,
I got a call on the second line.
Yes? One minute, Nicolay.
I have a person waiting on
the first line. Yes, Liza.
Look, this is not urgent.
Live there as long as you want.
I’ve just come down from a
plane. I’m terribly tired.
Let’s do it tomorrow.
Tomorrow after dinner. Bye.
Yes, Nicolay, I’m listening.
Look, Nicolay, I thought your
offer over and I won’t leave her.
I’ve just come down from the plane.
Let’s discuss it over the phone.
All right.
What did you want to discuss?
Any problems with the divorce?
There is only one problem.
I am not going to divorce.
This is your problem. You’ll have too.
We’re not living in the Middle Ages
when the Church prohibited divorces.
Let’s talk openly. I’m a
serious man. I know what I want.
I have a business offer to you.
Wait. Let me talk to the end.
Don’t interrupt. Maybe my
offer will seem awful to you,
but believe me, this is not
so. If you agree to my offer
you’ll get many new opportunities.
You will be able to buy a
new suit. A new modern car.
Or go abroad, see the world.
You’ll have many new
impressions… and women.
I think I know what you’re
talking about. How much?
50,000. Dollars, of course.
This is not serious.
Not serious? All right, let
it be 75,000. But this is all.
You’re so greedy!
Damn you! One hundred!
Consider me a bankrupt.
Do you agree?
No. Do you want me to tell you a secret?
I talked to Rose before our meeting.
I offered her to marry
me, and she agreed.
She couldn’t have agreed.
She is still my wife.
She is my wife. And I don’t sell wives.
Are you teasing me, boy? Will
you take the money or not?
Go to hell!
First! Come here! We have a fight!
There you go. They’ll
isolate him temporarily.
He’ll spend some time away
from Rose. It’ll give me time
to think of something.
And now I need your help.
Georgiy, hi.
Hello, Rose Vitalyevna.
Your husband has problems.
What has happened?
Nicolay Sergeyevitch is sick.
His ulcer must be bleeding.
Is he in the hospital?
He doesn’t want to go to the
hospital. He wants to see you.
He says he’ll die if you fail to come.
Gosha, I can’t. You
know, I really can’t.
He’ll die. You know how stubborn he is.
All right. Good. I’ll get ready now.
What’s the matter, Rose
Vitalyevna? What’s wrong?
My belly… it hurts.
It’s all right. I’ll
take you to the hospital.
Please find Kostya.
Kolya? What is with the baby?
He is all right. This is so unfair!
We tried to have a baby so many times,
and now you conceived from another man.
This is useless. I talked to him.
He decided to go back to his fiancee.
This is not true.
This is true. I talked to him.
He asked not to call him
not to disturb the girl.
This baby will be ours. Just
ours. I’ll be a very good father.
Kolya, I don’t love you anymore.
Honey, sometime will pass,
and you’ll forget it all.
Let’s go home now.
Everything will be all right.
Here is the taxi.
A taxi? Where is Gosha?
I don’t know. He disappeared somewhere.
Kostya? Kostya!
Don’t do it, Nicolay Sergeyevitch.
Will you stop me?
I will if need be. You
better let her go yourself.
Can’t you see? It should be so.
We’ll have a baby.
I know.
Are you glad? Or aren’t you?
Why do you think so? I’m very glad.
You said that you didn’t
want to have more children,
that Ivan was enough for you.
What else could I have told you?
That I didn’t need an infertile woman?
Kostya, you’re so good!
Gosha!
Thank you!
You’re welcome.
Thank you.
Be careful, it’s heavy.
Really? I didn’t notice.
You’re a sportsman, aren’t you?
I used to me.
Kira! Kira, I’m so glad to see you.
Rose! Rose, forgive me,
please. I’m such a fool!
I had to wish you happiness, and I…
It’s all right. Don’t worry. Let’s go.
Kira, watch it to the
end and then argue.
The last movie by Woody
Allen is a masterpiece!
Gireyev, you’re wrong.
I won’t agree with you.
Tell me please…
First of all, people of our country
don’t understand such
humor, and secondly…
Do you argue about cinema at home too?
Stop arguing. Cinema is individual art.
Everybody sees something for
himself in it. Am I right?
Let’s drink!
I’ll have a walk.
Don’t go too far, Vanya.
If you fall in love
with a woman for real,
her social status, profits
or age won’t concern you.
One loves not for money,
apartments or career possibilities.
One just loves a woman.
Otherwise it’s not love.
