Get off the wagon!
Jew earlobes.
Make the sign of the cross.
How old are you?
14.
Why aren't you with your family?
My mother died when I was 11.
Last year, my father married
a woman from Bogdanovka.
She slapped me for nothing
and then tell lies
to him about me.
In May, she had her own
baby, and it got worse.
Everything.
(Nadya sighs)
You want her or not?
(Pavlo spits)
No pay.
Just food and a
roof over your head.
(fire crackles)
You are lucky you
showed up on Sunday.
It's pork.
You love pork or
are you just hungry?
Both.
(boy chuckles)
Too bad. It's the last of it.
(water splashes)
(dark orchestral music)
(water splashes)
Forgive me, Jesus,
for thy dear son.
The ill that I
this day have done.
Many a?
Come in here.
The ill that I
this day have done.
That with the word, myself,
and thee,
I...
(suspenseful music)
E'er I sleep.
[Danylo] E'er I sleep.
At peace may be.
[Danylo] At peace may be.
Now into bed.
Many a too.

Clean yourself up.
(door thuds)
(sheep bleat)
Germans came last
month for our animals.
I got word early, thank god,
and hid our best
stock in the forest.
The rest I had to leave
for those sons of bitches.
(grunts)
(Sara gasps)
(blood splatters)
(door creaks)
(egg taps)
(Danylo giggles)
(boy and father laugh)
Many a, Many a, save me!
(Sara mimics plane engine)
After you're finished,
he's taking you to Korets
to get your papers.
All right.
(mimics plane engine)
(cart clunks rhythmically)
[Pavlo] This will
take us all day.
I'm really sorry.
I left in a hurry.
[Pavlo] And what will
you tell your father?
I don't know.
I'm worried.
- About what?
- He'll be angry.
He might start trouble and
not let me go back with you.
(Pavlo grunts)
(soldiers shout in German)
(suspenseful music)
(woman whines)
(soldier speaks German)
(soldier speak German)
You know her?
Of course not.
But it's awful what's happening.
(sighs) God help them.
[Pavlo] Save your prayers.
Have you no faith?
Faith?
It died with my first
wife and daughter.
What kind of girl leaves
her own family, hm?
(soldier shouts in German)
I have no family.
My mother was everything to me.
(distant guns fire)
(distant screams)
What am I doing here?
We will go another time.
(soldier speaks German)
(dog barks)
(dog barks)
(ducks quack)
(cows moo)
- What are you doing?
- It's a waste of time.
I can't lose the
day for nothing.
It's not nothing. Get
her back to the wagon.
Shut your mouth! I'm
not talking about it.
(chain rattles)
(somber music)
(birds tweet)
(lively chatter)
(soldiers laugh)
How am I supposed to
keep up with my quota
when they took almost
all my animals?
Go cry to him and
see if he gives a fuck.
Starting next week, bring
in four more sacks of wheat.
Because I asked a question?
You're not that important.
It's for everyone.
Now get the hell out of here!
(Pavlo spits)
[Woman] Come, come,
we have potatoes.
Potatoes for everybody.
Go.
Maybe we can make
some money today.
(sighs) The soldiers look
like their pockets are full.
Your little one's gotten so big.
And already a devil.
This is our new girl.
So nice to meet you.
I'm Vira Ivanenko.
I'm Many a Romanchuk.
Where are you from, Many a?
Korets.
Welcome. We can always use
more bright young people.
Please.
Thank you.
(Vira chuckles)
(lively chatter)
(soldier speaks German)
(Pavlo speaks German)
(soldier speaks German)
(Pavlo speaks German)
(soldier speaks German)
I'll give you shit!
Think you can rob us,
you filthy Ukrainian?
(murmuring in foreign language)
You can take the whole basket.
But ask anyone.
My wife makes the best wheat
loaves in the district.
And next week, we won't be here.
These will be the last
you will ever eat.
(soldier speaks German)
Thank you.
I need to see Katya's new
baby before she leaves.
We are still bidding.
For god's sake,
she's my best friend.
15 minutes.
(tower bell tolls)
(groans)
Go find her.
(tower bell tolls)
(lively chatter)
(man chants in foreign language)
(distant giggles)
(hatch squeaks)
(suspenseful music)
(Grisha breathes heavily)
(Nadya gasps)
Get out!
Hey, hey.
Hey.
[Nadya] Damn it, Grisha.
[Woman] I can't believe
it's been three months.
(Nadya scoffs)
You're a smart girl.
I could tell as soon
as Ivan brought you.
You just missed
my friend Marina.
She was here with her aunt
who used to live in Korets
and knew your family.
They'll be back next week!
That's wonderful.
(Vira chuckles)
(suspenseful music)
(cart squeaks and rattles)
(door creaks)
(door slams)
Six grams left.
(sighs)
Six grams till the end
of this fucking war.
Hear about the peasant
girl in Morasivka?
(Pavlo grunts)
She picked up a coat
left by one of the Jews,
and found nine diamonds
sewn inside the lining.
(Pavlo scoffs)
A drop in the bucket compared
to what those parasites
stole from us.
(match strikes)
(insect buzzes)
(ax thuds)
(ax thuds)
You can't go to
church like that.
I don't wear this anymore.
You can take up the hem.
(ax thuds)
(Pavlo sighs)
(suspenseful music)
(Pavlo whistles)
That man respects nothing.
(Pavlo sighs)
Even on Sundays, he rolls
in the dirt like a pig.

(rustling)
Who are you?
[Girl] Vidya.
Are you a Jew?
(somber orchestral music)
I'm just hungry.
Wait up there.
(strong wind blows)
Thank you.
(apple crunches)
(apple crunches)
Where are you from?
Rivne.
But I can't go back.
I'm looking for
somewhere to stay.
I have gold coins.
Don't show them.
Not to anyone.
They will know you're a Jew.
I am not a Jew.
Make the sign of the cross.
Like this.
Right, left.
[Vidya] Oh, yeah.
Can you say the "Hail Mary"?
You have to know it.
Say it after me.
Mother of God and
Virgin rejoice.
Mother of God and
Virgin
rejoice.
Mary full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.
Mary full of grace...
(creaking)
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women
and blessed is the
fruit of thy womb.
Blessed is the...
(thunder rumbles)
(sighs)
If you want to live,
you have to learn it.
But it will be all right.
No one thinks I'm Jewish.
No one.
- Well, you can't stay here.
I am Mirarra Dubner.
I'm Many a Romanchuk.
(sack thuds)
(Pavlo grunts)
(sack thuds)
(stamp thuds)
(Pavlo spits)
(cart squeaks and rattles)
Hey!
Do you have time to see her?
Just say hello. We
are not here to visit.
(suspenseful music)
Marina!
This is Many a.
Thank you for coming.
Aunt Kati!
Aunt Kati!
Mm?
This is Many a
Romanchuk from Korets!
No.
[Marina] She was only
seven or eight when you left!
She's changed!
- Don't you remember-
- Louder.
Don't you remember?
You made a doll's dress
for my fifth birthday.
No dress!
No dress!
I was much shorter then.
No!
She's getting worse and worse.
She can't even be
left alone anymore.
I hoped she'd
recognize your face.

(children giggle)
How long was I asleep?
I don't know.
Let's play hide and seek!
Hide and seek, hide and seek!
Okay.
Let's hide.
One.
Two.
Three.
(rhythmic thuds)
(chickens cluck)
Okay.
It's starting to
freeze at night.
You can sleep in the house.
(fire crackles)
Many a?
What were you saying when
you fell asleep in the woods?
(children mimic
foreign language)
(thud)
I don't know.
Sounds like Chinese.

(scraping)
(crunching)
(Pavlo sighs)
The roof's leaking worse.
Tomorrow I'm going to the
sawmill to get new shingles.
You should take the boys.
You know how much
they love it there.
(strong wind blows)
(snow crunches)
(distant rattling)
(muffled moans and grunts)
(Nadya moans)
(Grisha pants)
[Pavlo] The Germans are
surrounded in Stalingrad.
It will be over for them soon.
So the old goat at
the sawmill has a radio?
(Pavlo sighs)
(Pavlo grunts)
You'll see. The Germans
will find it and kill him.
(Pavlo sighs)
Maybe the krauts aren't
as clever as we think.

(soldier speaks Russian)
We've got only a root cellar.
(soldier speaks Russian)
We've got potatoes,
carrots in bags.
40 kilos. You take every...
(thuds)
(soldier speaks Russian)

It's the truth!

Come inside.
In a minute.
(slap)
You had to open your mouth?
I thought they were
going to kill him.
We didn't take you
into our house to think.
They were not going to kill him.
They want to keep coming
back for more food.
I can't stand
looking at your face.
(ice cracks)
(creaking)
(trap clangs)
(rabbit squeaks)
(bones crack)
This was a much kinder death.
(flesh squelches)
I don't like rabbit.
(Pavlo chuckles)
Learn to.
I can't!
Complain to Many a.
(horse whinnies)
(Pavlo sighs)
It's Ivan.
He can barely stand up.
(muffled singing)
(Ivan laughs)
Your big brother
strike gold. (laughs)
Ah!
But he doesn't
forget his own blood.
[Pavlo] Where did you get them?
Where are you hiding
your vodka, huh?
Show some hospitality.
Hah!
(glass clinks)
(laughs)
(vodka splashes)
(coins clink)
(sighs)
Where'd you get them?
[Ivan] From the prettiest
little Jew you've ever seen.
(chuckles)
(coughs)
It wasn't easy
getting into her, but,
Christ, I have never
had a better fuck.
Boys, out. Out!
You come to my house
to talk like that
in front of my children?
Sorry there wasn't
a piece left for you.
But she... (laughs)
"Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!" (laughs)
But she wouldn't stop squealing.
(laughs)
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
- You sick son a bitch!
(Ivan yells)
(door slams)
(horse snorts)
Eh!
(Pavlo breathes deeply)
(somber piano music)
(creaking)
Excuse me.
(water splashes)
Do you know what's happening?
I think so.
It comes every month.
Are you cramping?
A little.
This will help.
When you're feeling better,
we need more kindling.
(strong wind blows)
(somber music)
(birds squawk)
(Sara mimics gunfire)
(Sara mimics gunfire)
You got me.
We've been searching
for this for weeks.
The idiot pilot couldn't
locate our signal, so,
he just dropped it and left.
(gun cocks)
I'm sorry about your dog.
Why did he have to shoot her?
Because he's a bastard.
No one can stomach him.
I don't care. I
want to join you.
(soldier chuckles)
I don't think he would allow it.
Ask him.
There is talk he is leaving
to organize another
partisan unit.
Maybe you can join them.
Have you killed the Germans?
How many?
Not enough.
The big one with the
eye patch. He's a Jew?
The Bear.
His real name is Kapinski.
But I'm afraid he's not going
to be around much longer.
Why not?
His hatred is too strong.
He takes too many risks.
Are you a Jew, too?
Do you have to be
Jewish to hate Germans?
It's not so easy to
kill another human being.
It must be.
If it wasn't, why
is the forest filled
with so many dead bodies?
(distant calls)
There's the rest of my
squad looking for the drop.
You better go.
[Soldier] Boris. Boris!
(jaunty accordion music)
- Welcome!
- Welcome!
[Step an] Grandpa!
Whatever happened between
you two is in the past.
You don't know what he did.
What he said in
front of my children.
I don't care.
You are brothers.
Pavlo!
It's Malanka.
A new year.
Please.
For me.
(mother laughs)
(feet stomp)
(floor creaks)
(Grisha clears his throat)
With war all around us,
we know this new year will
bring times of pain and sorrow.
So let us vow to savor all
the more the special moments
of joy...
And pleasure.
(group yells in
foreign language)
(jaunty accordion music)
(Pavlo growls)
(Nadya laughs)
Let's get some
fresh air, you and me.
(muffled accordion music)
Sit.
Have you seen them together?
Her and...
My nephew.
No.
(glass clinks)
Lie to me and I'll
hang you by the feet
and slit your throat.
I've never seen them.
Do you swear on the
soul of your dead mother?
I swear.
(moans)
(group cheers)
Is this how your greet
your Queen Malanka?
With drunken insults?
You will show my
friends more respect,
if you know what's good for you.
(group cheers and applauds)
And where is the Jew?
(group chants
"where is the Jew?")
Here is the Jew!
(group cheers and applauds)
(creaking)
(group cheers)
(whispers)
(Sara growls)
(group laughs and cheers)
Let's go!
Let's go!
(traditional folk music
in foreign language)
(group laughs)
I bless this house with
good health and prosperity.
Happy new year!
(hammering thuds)
(bird squawks)
(hammering thuds)
(mouse squeaks)
(mill churns)
He asked me about
you and Grisha,
when we were at
his parents' house.
What did he wanna know?
If I'd seen you with him.
And what did you say?
I said I didn't.
You wouldn't lie to me?
Ever?
Everyone lies.
Even Grisha?
(sighs) Especially him.
(muffled hammering thuds)
(man chants in foreign language)
[Priest] What are
your sins, my child?
Go on.
I...
I lied to the man who
took me into his home and-
And?
What?
Is that all?
And I...
In confession,
you must open your
heart completely.

(gasps)
(door creaks)
Don't think badly of me.
She must have told you about me.
And the girl before you.
No.
Then why are you scared of me?
I'm not scared.
Good.
Don't let her get to you.
She's jealous because you
are prettier than she is.
No, I'm not.
I think you are.
(door creaks)
(door slams)
(children giggle)
What animal am I thinking of?
A cow. Moo!
No.
An owl. Hoo, hoo!
- An owl isn't an animal.
- Yes, it is!
- Many a, is it an-
- Danylo, cover his eyes.
(dark orchestral music)
(rope creaks)
(sighs)
(chain squeaks)
(cow moos)
Are you all right?
(water splashes)
This will bring the fever down.
What did you think
when you saw them?
Hanging.
It was like an awful dream.
(somber music)
It didn't seem real.
I'd do anything to
protect my children.
Anything.
I'm not a Jew.
(Nadya scoffs)
I'll leave in the morning,
if that's what you want.
(Nadya chuckles)
(somber music)
Pavlo would have a fit.
And that would hurt
the boys too much.
Did he try anything with you?
No.
My mother
said I had to marry him
when I turned 15.
My father died,
we were starving.
And he had his own farm.
You know nothing about me.
I know you're as
strong as he is.
Absolutely not.
The partisans are for men.
Hardened men.
Not girls like you.
Do you think you could
kill another human being?
You wouldn't be capable of it.
You don't know
what I'm capable of.
You are a Jew, aren't you?
How do you know our prayers
and rituals so well?
My best friend in
school begged me to stay
when the Brits came in
for religious class.
We'd sat together
since we were six.
Your friend is Many a-
- Romanchuk.
- Romanchuk.
Do you realize the danger you
are bringing on the family?
And those two little boys.
That's why I have to
join the resistance.
You'd never survive, my child.
I would.
I have to.
I promised my mother.
God bless you, and you, my son.
God bless you.
It's Stepan's birthday.
How old are you?
Let me guess. 12?
I am four.
You are sure? (chuckles)
Then God bless you, Step an,
with health, long life
and great happiness.
God bless you.
God bless you.
(Pavlo hoots)
(children scream and laugh)
- Many a!
- Many a!
Come in!
- Come in!
I can't swim.
[Pavlo] I'll hold you.
Go ahead.
(Pavlo giggles)
Many a, come in!
(Pavlo giggles)
Come in!
(Pavlo gasps)
Come in!
(group laughs)
Relax.
Relax.
Trust me. Relax.
Relax.
(Sara pants)
Trust me.
(car approaches)
Everyone out!
(sheep bleat)
(cows moo)
(chickens cluck)
No.
No, please. No.
I... I need my horse to
finish plowing, please.
If you approach me
again, you'll be shot!
No, no.
(flask clangs)
Sir.
In case you are hungry,
there is fresh bread
and cheese and also
a bottle of homemade vodka.
I know, I know. We are not
supposed to have it, but-
Are you trying to bribe me?
You miserable piece of shit.
Put it in my car.
(chickens cluck)
(shouts in German)
(cow moos)
Thank you, sir.
(soldier speaks German)
Thank you.
Thank you, sir.
(cow moos)
(car doors slam)
(wind blows)
(cow moos)
This is insane!
Go ask Ivan for his horses!
I'm not crawling
to him for anything.
Why didn't the Germans
take his animals?
He was tipped off.
I guess he didn't have time to
tell his own brother, though.
Enough!
Many a, hit her.
(slaps)
Harder!
Harder!
(children cheer)
Come on!
Come on!
- Go, Lula!
- Come on, go!
Go! (grunts)
Go! (grunts)
(cow moos)
[Danylo] Lula, come on!
Let's work.

Many a!
Water.
It's late.
I'm taking them to bed.
We haven't finished.

Before we plant...
For good luck.
Grisha should come over and...
And fuck you right here.

Who did it?
Who did it?
Pavlo, you thought it was
some kind of god damn joke?
Have you gone crazy?
What are you talking about?
Uh-huh. It's just the
kind of shit you'd pull.
It was him. He did it.
(Ivan scoffs)
Whatever it was.
(suspenseful music)
Did you do this?
Stop right there,
you little cunt!
You wanna die?
Get a hold of yourself.
What are you gonna do about her?
What do you want me to do?
Get rid of her.
No.
(Ivan sighs)
Get in the wagon!
You leave now, you get
no help from any of us!
What should I expect from a man
who can't even
control his own wife?
(Pavlo sighs)
(Pavlo grunts)
(distant explosion roars)
What was that?
Shh.
(distant explosions thump)
Partisans.
Look.
(distant explosions roar)
They are close.
I hope they killed the
Germans who stole our animals.
They stole from us, too.

Last night, an army

I don't have any
brothers or sisters.
I've told you before.
[Step an] But do you miss them?
No, I don't miss them.
What do you miss?
I don't miss anything.
(water splashes)
(Pavlo clears his throat)
I didn't want to
say this in the house.
She asks too many questions.
What is it?
The Americans and the
British have landed in France,
and the Russian
army is closing in.
Know what that means?
Yes.
There's something else,
I never asked you about.
That day in the field
with you and Ivan...
Was it because of what he
did to the Jewish girl?
(creaking)
Yes.

I have to go home.
To Korets?
Is there anyone even left?
Maybe a brother.
It's not safe.
Russians are bigger
animals than Germans.
I'll be fine.
Goodbye, Danylo.
[Danylo] So you
do have brothers?
Yes.
Goodbye, Step an.
Can you come back?
Maybe.

She's looking for work.
No papers.
What's your name?
- Many a.
- Many a what?
Romanchuk.
- Where are you from?
- Korets.
(Pavlo sighs)
- A lot Jews in Korets.
- I'm not.
Get off the wagon!
Jew earlobes.
Make the sign of the cross.
How old are you?
14.
Why aren't you with your family?
My mother died when I was 11.
Last year, my father married
a woman from Bogdanovka.
She slapped me for nothing
and then tell lies
to him about me.
In May, she had her own
baby, and it got worse.
Everything.
(Nadya sighs)
You want her or not?
(Pavlo spits)
No pay.
Just food and a
roof over your head.
(fire crackles)
You are lucky you
showed up on Sunday.
It's pork.
You love pork or
are you just hungry?
Both.
(boy chuckles)
Too bad. It's the last of it.
(water splashes)
(dark orchestral music)
(water splashes)
Forgive me, Jesus,
for thy dear son.
The ill that I

Come in here.
The ill that I
this day have done.
That with the word, myself,
and thee,
I...
(suspenseful music)
E'er I sleep.
[Danylo] E'er I sleep.
At peace may be.
[Danylo] At peace may be.
Now into bed.
Many a too.

Clean yourself up.
(door thuds)

Germans came last
month for our animals.
I got word early, thank god,
and hid our best

The rest I had to leave
for those sons of bitches.

After you're finished,

to get your papers.
All right.
(mimics plane engine)
(cart clunks rhythmically)
[Pavlo] This will
take us all day.
I'm really sorry.
I left in a hurry.
[Pavlo] And what will
you tell your father?
I don't know.
I'm worried.
- About what?
- He'll be angry.
He might start trouble and
not let me go back with you.
(Pavlo grunts)
(soldiers shout in German)
(suspenseful music)
(woman whines)
(soldier speaks German)
(soldier speak German)
You know her?
Of course not.
But it's awful what's happening.
(sighs) God help them.
[Pavlo] Save your prayers.
Have you no faith?
Faith?
It died with my first
wife and daughter.
What kind of girl leaves
her own family, hm?
(soldier shouts in German)
I have no family.
My mother was everything to me.
(distant guns fire)

What am I doing here?
We will go another time.
(soldier speaks German)
(dog barks)
(dog barks)
(ducks quack)
(cows moo)

I can't lose the

It's not nothing. Get

Shut your mouth! I'm
not talking about it.
(chain rattles)
(somber music)
(birds tweet)
(lively chatter)
(soldiers laugh)
How am I supposed to
keep up with my quota
when they took almost
all my animals?
Go cry to him and
see if he gives a fuck.
Starting next week, bring
in four more sacks of wheat.
Because I asked a question?
You're not that important.
It's for everyone.
Now get the hell out of here!
(Pavlo spits)
[Woman] Come, come,
we have potatoes.
Potatoes for everybody.
Go.
Maybe we can make
some money today.
(sighs) The soldiers look
like their pockets are full.
Your little one's gotten so big.
And already a devil.
This is our new girl.
So nice to meet you.
I'm Vira Ivanenko.
I'm Many a Romanchuk.
Where are you from, Many a?
Korets.
Welcome. We can always use
more bright young people.
Please.
Thank you.

(murmuring in foreign language)
You can take the whole basket.
But ask anyone.
My wife makes the best wheat
loaves in the district.
And next week, we won't be here.
These will be the last
you will ever eat.
(soldier speaks German)
Thank you.
I need to see Katya's new
baby before she leaves.
We are still bidding.
For god's sake,
she's my best friend.
15 minutes.

Hey, hey.
Hey.
[Nadya] Damn it, Grisha.
[Woman] I can't believe
it's been three months.
(Nadya scoffs)
You're a smart girl.
I could tell as soon
as Ivan brought you.
You just missed
my friend Marina.
She was here with her aunt
who used to live in Korets
and knew your family.
They'll be back next week!
That's wonderful.
(Vira chuckles)
(suspenseful music)
(cart squeaks and rattles)
(door creaks)
(door slams)
Six grams left.
(sighs)
Six grams till the end
of this fucking war.
Hear about the peasant
girl in Morasivka?
(Pavlo grunts)
She picked up a coat
left by one of the Jews,
and found nine diamonds
sewn inside the lining.
(Pavlo scoffs)
A drop in the bucket compared
to what those parasites
stole from us.
(match strikes)
(insect buzzes)

You can't go to

I don't wear this anymore.
You can take up the hem.

Even on Sundays, he rolls

I'm just hungry.
Wait up there.
(strong wind blows)
Thank you.
(apple crunches)
(apple crunches)
Where are you from?
Rivne.
But I can't go back.
I'm looking for
somewhere to stay.
I have gold coins.
Don't show them.
Not to anyone.
They will know you're a Jew.
I am not a Jew.
Make the sign of the cross.
Like this.
Right, left.
[Vidya] Oh, yeah.
Can you say the "Hail Mary"?
You have to know it.
Say it after me.
Mother of God and
Virgin rejoice.
Mother of God and
Virgin
rejoice.
Mary full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.
Mary full of grace...
(creaking)
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women
and blessed is the
fruit of thy womb.
Blessed is the...
(thunder rumbles)
(sighs)
If you want to live,
you have to learn it.
But it will be all right.
No one thinks I'm Jewish.
No one.
- Well, you can't stay here.
I am Mirarra Dubner.
I'm Many a Romanchuk.
(sack thuds)

Hey!
Do you have time to see her?
Just say hello. We
are not here to visit.
(suspenseful music)
Marina!
This is Many a.
Thank you for coming.
Aunt Kati!
Aunt Kati!
Mm?
This is Many a
Romanchuk from Korets!
No.
[Marina] She was only
seven or eight when you left!
She's changed!
- Don't you remember-
- Louder.
Don't you remember?
You made a doll's dress
for my fifth birthday.
No dress!
No dress!
I was much shorter then.
No!
She's getting worse and worse.
She can't even be
left alone anymore.
I hoped she'd
recognize your face.

Okay.
Let's hide.
One.
Two.
Three.
(rhythmic thuds)
(chickens cluck)
Okay.
It's starting to

You can sleep in the house.
(fire crackles)
Many a?
What were you saying when
you fell asleep in the woods?

[Pavlo] The Germans are

It will be over for them soon.
So the old goat at
the sawmill has a radio?
(Pavlo sighs)
(Pavlo grunts)
You'll see. The Germans
will find it and kill him.

In a minute.
(slap)
You had to open your mouth?
I thought they were
going to kill him.
We didn't take you
into our house to think.
They were not going to kill him.
They want to keep coming
back for more food.
I can't stand
looking at your face.
(ice cracks)
(creaking)
(trap clangs)
(rabbit squeaks)
(bones crack)
This was a much kinder death.
(flesh squelches)
I don't like rabbit.
(Pavlo chuckles)
Learn to.
I can't!
Complain to Many a.
(horse whinnies)
(Pavlo sighs)
It's Ivan.
He can barely stand up.
(muffled singing)
(Ivan laughs)
Your big brother
strike gold. (laughs)
Ah!
But he doesn't
forget his own blood.
[Pavlo] Where did you get them?
Where are you hiding
your vodka, huh?
Show some hospitality.
Hah!
(glass clinks)
(laughs)
(vodka splashes)
(coins clink)
(sighs)
Where'd you get them?
[Ivan] From the prettiest
little Jew you've ever seen.
(chuckles)
(coughs)
It wasn't easy
getting into her, but,
Christ, I have never
had a better fuck.
Boys, out. Out!
You come to my house
to talk like that
in front of my children?
Sorry there wasn't
a piece left for you.
But she... (laughs)
"Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!" (laughs)
But she wouldn't stop squealing.
(laughs)
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
- You sick son a bitch!
(Ivan yells)
(door slams)
(horse snorts)
Eh!
(Pavlo breathes deeply)
(somber piano music)
(creaking)
Excuse me.
(water splashes)
Do you know what's happening?
I think so.
It comes every month.
Are you cramping?
A little.
This will help.
When you're feeling better,
we need more kindling.
(strong wind blows)
(somber music)
(birds squawk)
(Sara mimics gunfire)
(Sara mimics gunfire)
You got me.
We've been searching
for this for weeks.
The idiot pilot couldn't
locate our signal, so,
he just dropped it and left.
(gun cocks)
I'm sorry about your dog.
Why did he have to shoot her?
Because he's a bastard.
No one can stomach him.
I don't care. I
want to join you.
(soldier chuckles)
I don't think he would allow it.
Ask him.
There is talk he is leaving
to organize another
partisan unit.
Maybe you can join them.
Have you killed the Germans?
How many?
Not enough.
The big one with the
eye patch. He's a Jew?
The Bear.
His real name is Kapinski.
But I'm afraid he's not going
to be around much longer.
Why not?
His hatred is too strong.
He takes too many risks.
Are you a Jew, too?
Do you have to be
Jewish to hate Germans?
It's not so easy to
kill another human being.
It must be.
If it wasn't, why
is the forest filled
with so many dead bodies?
(distant calls)
There's the rest of my
squad looking for the drop.
You better go.
[Soldier] Boris. Boris!
(jaunty accordion music)
- Welcome!
- Welcome!
[Step an] Grandpa!
Whatever happened between
you two is in the past.
You don't know what he did.
What he said in
front of my children.
I don't care.
You are brothers.
Pavlo!
It's Malanka.
A new year.
Please.
For me.
(mother laughs)
(feet stomp)
(floor creaks)
(Grisha clears his throat)
With war all around us,
we know this new year will
bring times of pain and sorrow.
So let us vow to savor all
the more the special moments
of joy...
And pleasure.
(group yells in
foreign language)
(jaunty accordion music)
(Pavlo growls)
(Nadya laughs)
Let's get some
fresh air, you and me.
(muffled accordion music)
Sit.
Have you seen them together?
Her and...
My nephew.
No.
(glass clinks)
Lie to me and I'll
hang you by the feet
and slit your throat.
I've never seen them.
Do you swear on the
soul of your dead mother?
I swear.
(moans)
(group cheers)
Is this how your greet
your Queen Malanka?
With drunken insults?
You will show my
friends more respect,
if you know what's good for you.
(group cheers and applauds)
And where is the Jew?
(group chants
"where is the Jew?")
Here is the Jew!
(group cheers and applauds)

Happy new year!

He asked me about
you and Grisha,
when we were at
his parents' house.
What did he wanna know?
If I'd seen you with him.
And what did you say?
I said I didn't.
You wouldn't lie to me?
Ever?
Everyone lies.
Even Grisha?
(sighs) Especially him.
(muffled hammering thuds)
(man chants in foreign language)
[Priest] What are
your sins, my child?
Go on.
I...
I lied to the man who
took me into his home and-
And?
What?
Is that all?
And I...
In confession,
you must open your
heart completely.

Don't think badly of me.
She must have told you about me.
And the girl before you.
No.
Then why are you scared of me?
I'm not scared.
Good.
Don't let her get to you.
She's jealous because you
are prettier than she is.
No, I'm not.
I think you are.
(door creaks)

(children giggle)
What animal am I thinking of?
A cow. Moo!
No.
An owl. Hoo, hoo!

Are you all right?
(water splashes)
This will bring the fever down.
What did you think
when you saw them?
Hanging.
It was like an awful dream.
(somber music)
It didn't seem real.
I'd do anything to
protect my children.
Anything.
I'm not a Jew.
(Nadya scoffs)
I'll leave in the morning,
if that's what you want.
(Nadya chuckles)
(somber music)
Pavlo would have a fit.
And that would hurt
the boys too much.
Did he try anything with you?
No.
My mother
said I had to marry him
when I turned 15.
My father died,
we were starving.
And he had his own farm.
You know nothing about me.
I know you're as
strong as he is.
Absolutely not.
The partisans are for men.
Hardened men.
Not girls like you.
Do you think you could
kill another human being?
You wouldn't be capable of it.
You don't know
what I'm capable of.
You are a Jew, aren't you?
How do you know our prayers
and rituals so well?
My best friend in
school begged me to stay
when the Brits came in
for religious class.
We'd sat together
since we were six.
Your friend is Many a-
- Romanchuk.
- Romanchuk.
Do you realize the danger you
are bringing on the family?
And those two little boys.
That's why I have to
join the resistance.
You'd never survive, my child.
I would.
I have to.
I promised my mother.
God bless you, and you, my son.
God bless you.
It's Stepan's birthday.
How old are you?
Let me guess. 12?
I am four.
You are sure? (chuckles)
Then God bless you, Step an,
with health, long life
and great happiness.
God bless you.
God bless you.
(Pavlo hoots)
(children scream and laugh)
- Many a!
- Many a!
Come in!
- Come in!
I can't swim.
[Pavlo] I'll hold you.
Go ahead.
(Pavlo giggles)
Many a, come in!
(Pavlo giggles)
Come in!
(Pavlo gasps)
Come in!
(group laughs)
Relax.
Relax.
Trust me. Relax.
Relax.
(Sara pants)
Trust me.
(car approaches)
Everyone out!
(sheep bleat)
(cows moo)
(chickens cluck)
No.
No, please. No.
I... I need my horse to
finish plowing, please.
If you approach me
again, you'll be shot!
No, no.
(flask clangs)
Sir.
In case you are hungry,
there is fresh bread
and cheese and also
a bottle of homemade vodka.
I know, I know. We are not
supposed to have it, but-
Are you trying to bribe me?
You miserable piece of shit.
Put it in my car.
(chickens cluck)
(shouts in German)
(cow moos)
Thank you, sir.
(soldier speaks German)
Thank you.
Thank you, sir.
(cow moos)
(car doors slam)
(wind blows)
(cow moos)
This is insane!
Go ask Ivan for his horses!
I'm not crawling
to him for anything.
Why didn't the Germans
take his animals?
He was tipped off.
I guess he didn't have time to
tell his own brother, though.
Enough!
Many a, hit her.
(slaps)
Harder!
Harder!
(children cheer)
Come on!
Come on!
- Go, Lula!
- Come on, go!
Go! (grunts)
Go! (grunts)
(cow moos)
[Danylo] Lula, come on!
Let's work.
(Nadya sighs)

Many a!
Water.
It's late.
I'm taking them to bed.
We haven't finished.

Before we plant...
For good luck.
Grisha should come over and...
And fuck you right here.

Who did it?
Who did it?
Pavlo, you thought it was
some kind of god damn joke?
Have you gone crazy?
What are you talking about?
Uh-huh. It's just the
kind of shit you'd pull.
It was him. He did it.
(Ivan scoffs)
Whatever it was.
(suspenseful music)
Did you do this?
Stop right there,
you little cunt!
You wanna die?
Get a hold of yourself.
What are you gonna do about her?
What do you want me to do?
Get rid of her.
No.
(Ivan sighs)
Get in the wagon!
You leave now, you get
no help from any of us!
What should I expect from a man
who can't even
control his own wife?
(Pavlo sighs)
(Pavlo grunts)
(distant explosion roars)
What was that?
Shh.
(distant explosions thump)
Partisans.
Look.
(distant explosions roar)
They are close.
I hope they killed the
Germans who stole our animals.
They stole from us, too.
(Sara gasps)
The night...

Last night, an army
checkpoint was attacked,
and two of our soldiers killed.
(officer speaks German)
The Fuhrer, Adolf
Hitler, has decreed

for every German soldier
murdered by partisan bandits...
(officer speaks German)
10 civilians shall be executed.

[Danylo] Do you miss
your brothers and sisters?
I don't have any
brothers or sisters.
I've told you before.
[Step an] But do you miss them?
No, I don't miss them.
What do you miss?
I don't miss anything.
(water splashes)
(Pavlo clears his throat)
I didn't want to
say this in the house.
She asks too many questions.
What is it?
The Americans and the
British have landed in France,
and the Russian
army is closing in.
Know what that means?
Yes.
There's something else,
I never asked you about.
That day in the field
with you and Ivan...
Was it because of what he
did to the Jewish girl?
(creaking)
Yes.

I'm Sara.
My name is Sara Gralnik.
I have to go home.
To Korets?
Is there anyone even left?
Maybe a brother.
It's not safe.
Russians are bigger
animals than Germans.
I'll be fine.
Goodbye, Danylo.
[Danylo] So you
do have brothers?
Yes.
Goodbye, Step an.
Can you come back?
Maybe.
