Obich (1972) - full transcript

Maria is having great difficulty getting on with her parents because of their blind, consumerist approach to life. Traumatized by continuous family dramas, having experienced the disappointments of firs love, Maria decides to go up the mountain to a holiday home. There she meets a conceited architect, a shy teacher, a finical jurist, and a timid journalist (all of them representatives of the intelligentsia) who are domineered by the manager of the holiday home and his 'problems'. Maria's resignation changes into a rebellion against impersonal submission and sheep-like compliance with those who hold power. Thus Maria endures a long period of introspections and builds up the strength of her character. She finds moral support in her memory about her aunt Irina who once took part in the antifascist struggle as a partisan and later died as a doctor in the Vietnam War. Her life becomes the supreme example of how one should live for the sensitive Maria.

Where to?

I asked where
you're going?

- Is it free?
- No, wait!

Taken!

Decided to stay alone?



Fine!

Only, please
don't do anything stupid!

Relax,
and don't do anything stupid!

I know a manager
of a holiday center

I'll provide a room.
I'm sure!

It will take us half an hour.

Come on!

Shall we?

Come on!

Don't leave me
without luggage!

This bag is mine! You didn't
buy it! Neither you nor my mother!

Come on, Peyo!

Sorry!

- You have the tickets?
- I gave them to you!



Ah yes, here they are!

It is easiest to
take offence!

Feel offended by something
and run!

I could do the same,
more than one time!

Can you tell me why are you unhappy?

We don't care enough for you
or are you missing something?

Tell!

Your mother should not have acted
like this today!

But you - did you ever
try to understand her?

Did you ever try
to share something with her?

Tell her what you think
or what bothers you?

Something about your school
or your friends?

We want you to be
happy home.

Just as if we didn't exist
or we were strangers.

Leave it to me!

You know I'm
very busy!

I'd prefer not to
get into these details!

But I know it affects her!

Sometimes I think
you hate us!

That you hate everything
we've given you!

And now you in this compartment
with your bag!

What do you think?
That we are selfish?

That we only care about our convenience
and our belongings,

about making money?

Bourgeois parents!

Oh, now it's in vogue
to blame the parents!

But tomorrow you'll be
first to reproach us

that we did not provide
you with the essentials!

Right for you to do it!

And your mother?
Her work is not easy!

Now one has to be
commited to his work...

if you do not want others
to get ahead.

And this story
about Irina's apartment!

You touched me very much!

Don't forget that when you lost
aunt, I lost my sister!

I understand that it's not easy for you!

But do you ask how it is for me?

I knew there was a war,
that it was dangerous.

But for a doctor?
I thought that at least in the hospital ...

Irina, You're perfectly sure
you must go?

I am!

Here's the key, it's
at your disposal!

Just if you play music, don't make it
too loud! They are angry above!

In the newspapers! Newspapers give
ads for apartments, don't you know?

- I know, but we have to wait!
- Why?

Understand that it's not convenient
to disclose this story so soon!

What is inconvenient?

What is inconvenient in this
story? Say it!

Okay, okay! Find an agent to do the job.

- Oh, no!

You'll find an agent!
You are the heir!

- Listen, give away the key!
- No!

Why?

Iri left it to me to keep
until she's back!

She will not come back and you
know it very well! Give me the key!

- I will not give it!
- Why?

Because I know
what it means you!

Because I heard your whole conversation!
Aren't you ashamed?!

I cannot believe she's
made only because of the sale!

You chose Irina
before her!

She's certainly noticed it...

And felt badly about it!

She's a mother...

Maybe selling
apartment...

was an opportunity to
bring you back home!

Make you feel
needed in our environment, our home!

More evenly! More evenly!

Yes!

Yes!

Watch out!

- What is it?
- No, look!

What?
- What is it? - No, look!

What?

Krasimira, listen to music! I'm tired
of saying the same thing all the time!

Lift your head!

Yes!

More rhythmically! More rhythmically!
More rhythmically!

I got the results of
the exams!

Wrong, wrong!
How many times should I repeat!

- You should move evenly!
- We're tired!

But you do not listen to the music!

Okay, okay! End!
A break!

What about exams?

Nothing about exams!
I wasn't accepted!

And by a few hundredths!

But what to do with myself?
You're always very busy!

You're always very busy!

I barely remember
seing you home together!

If you speak, it's always a quarrel!

You don't love!

You improve your mood for a bit
only when you buy something.

And then...

Why are you silent?
Tell!

They are here!

They are here!

My daughter.

Incredible! I would never guess
you have such a daughter!

Well, she was very nice!

Nice to meet you.

Once again, thank you for everything.

You're always welcome!

And take it easy.
I'll take care.

If there's anything wrong,
you can call me.

Take care.

Welcome!

I hope you'll be satisfied.

This time of the year... It's quiet but
beautiful. I hope you'll be satisfied.

This time of the year...
It's quiet but beautiful.

Hey, where? It's here.

Very funny!

This is our only
apartment!

The others are housed in
ordinary rooms.

Make yourself at home.
The dinner is in an hour.

- So you are a student?
- No.

- You work?
- Something like that!

I completed nursing courses.

Nursing? Not bad.

Difficult but noble.

- Well then... I'll go.
- O.K.

I'm going.

Excuse me, the breakfast hours are over
and you did not come.

We were worried down there.

And last night you didn't
come down for the dinner.

Alright.

This is beyond my duties,

but for you...

I promised your father
not to let you get bored.

Don't worry.
I'm never bored.

- Even when you are alone?
- Especially then.

I can get bored with a foolish talk.

You are right.

Stupid conversation with a foolish man,
this is the worst thing in the world!

Sometimes I wonder, what
is all this progress...

when the human stupidity
remains as it was.

And for whom do you create art?

Is this watermelon yours?

- Which watermelon?
- On the wall!

Ah!

Still life!
You see...

They've built such a nice house
and I felt that something was missing.

I have a wonderful library. Do you
want me to give you something to read?

I have come here to rest!

Flying all the time! In the morning,
at noon and at night!

All the time!

What's going on here cannot be
explained or related!

You have to see it
with your own eyes

to understand the strength
and the faith of these people!

We are not on front, but it seems
for them it does not matter!

They kill.
Kill methodically, quietly, coolly.

Is it out of fear, wild cruelty?
I do not know!

The hatred in me which seemed
gone so years ago resurfaces in me!

When faced with this madness
I cannot back down!

Need to be hard to the end!

However, it is so terribly tiring!

I think I have
a right to speak so?

Am not too cruel?

Here, on this earth, to ask such a question
is completely unnecessary!

In my hospital many people are dying.

Much more than I used to see!

This is something to which
I cannot adjust.

I would not have written about these things
but if you took this decision...

If so stubbornly you want to
hold to this profession...

You must be able to listen to
death and to see it with your eyes!

Sometimes I wonder, are we not
fighting too long?

Wasn't there enough war?

Cannot we leave that to the others,

and stay in our happy world...

only caring for the ones we love?

And I reply:
we cannot!

We cannot,
while there is a struggle...

...and if it continues.

You're writing that you miss me.

Actually, you know, I miss you too.

But I had to get here, where
everything has a tragic cost...

to appreciate the world
that you have!

To appreciate the peace
and security we have,

to appreciate you,
my dear girl!

I need you!
Need you so!

I don't know whether you'll understand
everything I write...

...but I really need to see
things in their complexity.

Welcome!

Welcome!

Don't forget that lunch is at 12:30.

and now...

Let me!

As you can see, here
we are like one big family!

Our new guest,
here name is Maria.

Architect Stanimirov.

Manasiev - a researcher.

Petrov - a journalist.

And Kostov - a lawyer.

Welcome!

Combination of different
vegetables and veal.

I have to admit a secret.

Nothing to do with ordinary beef stew.

All subtlety is in the combination
of vegetables with spices.

But you'll see for myself.
Try it, try it!

- You feel it, right?
- I do!

Ah!

Maybe on you this image
makes no special impression.

For me it is
very dear.

As far as I know,
just two months before it's been done

this team consisted not of 20
but of 40 people!

The others would also be here

if they were alive.

Much has been written, my
Girl, about this team.

Many times I was asked
to write memories of that time.

I'll admit I have tried.

But nothing comes out.

Somehow I fail to convey
the nature of things!

I was at the same time
a nurse and a doctor in the squad.

And then for the first time even before
I learned how to save from death,

I learned to find it.

Even more, I to cause death!

When we had to discuss
a death sentence in the squad,

for a man who
with his own hands

committed 18 brutal murders
within two months.

His favorite pastime was
taking pictures with severed heads!

He had no right to live!

He had no right!

No right!

For the three months prior to
entering the squad

I still lived carefree!

There there was her cousin.
Later I realized there was no cousin.

The man had come to do the job.

To look at these guys and girls
imagining the revolution

as a New Year party
with boza instead of wine!

And decide who will be
to bear arms!

Or to put it more clearly, who can kill
or be killed in the name of freedom!

When he realized that I study medicine,
he told me that this is the best job!

I asked him why
and he replied:

"This is the most direct way
to help people! "

We were together twice.

And I never saw him again!

I had to go into hiding, and in june he
was killed somewhere in Etropol mountains.

Welcome!
Welcome!

Today our little family
has a holiday.

One of us turned 45.

Just do not tell
I gave out his age.

And, here's the culprit
for today's celebration!

Architect Stanimirov, this time
your place is at the top of the table.

Well, I...

Yes!

I wish you health
and long life.

You are very kind, but I'm turning 45,
and that's a bit sad.

You look much younger!

Thank you, but this is temporary
and deceiving. May I?

I should probably tell you
a well-known but brilliant thought

that it does not matter how old
a person is, but how he feels.

The thing is that
I feel exactly 45!

I will reveal a secret.
I am pleased with myself.

- Good evening.
- Good evening.

Good evening.

- Where's my place?
- Of course next to the lady, Peter.

The manager knows.

Legal counselor.
Accuracy and cautiousness.

Next to the journalist.

Go!

Ah! Oh! Bravo, ,
bravo, bravo!

We all congratulate our jubilee!

Well, that is
a surprise!

This birthday I won't forget.
I'll come here to celebrate mine!

Bravo, bravo!

Very sadly I could not
I find the original candles.

These were given to me
by the church in the village.

As you can see will do.

Bravo!

Stanimirov.

Stanimirov.

- Architect Stanimirov!
- Yes!

Will there be any music or no?

Of course, by the way let
our lady choose.

- What?
- A stotinka for the machine.

Don't bother.
It works without it.

Stanimirov, we note
5 stotinkas on your account.

Write down 5 levas
for the entire evening.

Something is wrong!
I did not want that!

It's okay.
Everything is fine.

I personally changed
all the records.

Not in your taste?

- Stanimirov, don't akt as a simpleton.
- Oh, yes, yes, yes!

Excuse me.

May I?

It's good you came.
We were so bored!

If a man tells you
that he feels best in a male company,

do not believe it.
We were gatting wild.

I do not care!

I am not a good dancer,
but may I ask?

Good you came.

The most modern dance
that the manager knows is foxtrot.

Beside tango and foxtrot
you will find nothing in the machine.

But as a manager he is an absolute master.
His taste is our taste.

What do you think about this
legal advisor?

I feel that he's both a teetotaler,
a vegetarian and a misogynist.

But I think he does not care.

And that annoys you!

So good you came.
We were very bored!

That's possible, but
I heard it already.

- It's hard to be original.
- The worse for you.

- Are you angry?
- I am.

- Why?
- Because!

Now you are original.

If you could walk on hands...

I can't, but I can stand on head.

Come on!

- What?
- Do it!

- Here at the top the wind is strong.
- Thank you.

- Sorry about last night.
- Why did you leave us?

Well...

I was just angry
about the company.

What do you blame the
company for? Just normal peaople.

The celebration, dancing,
cake... Ah!

Watch out!

There's nothing wrong in it.

There's nothing wrong, but it was
all organized by the manager.

It would have been different
if it come out naturally.

And I do not understand why
everyone complies with what he says.

He hung his own watermelons on the wall,
loaded the machine with his old tangos.

You all watch, grin,
and nobody says anything!

And did you say anything?

Instead of getting irritated
you should laugh of it.

I have no time for this!

Why are you in such a hurry?

People are now dealing with
other, more important, things,

not serving flowers.

These are our friends that are
dealing with other things. Beware!

Stanimirov is one of
our best architects!

The biologist, Manasiev lectures
throughout Europe!

Now just tell me that you are
another miracle of nature and...

...I am finished!
- Be calm,

I'm just an ordinary journalist.

- Eh!
- What is it?

Nothing. It's just taht this profession
Of yours seems most obscure.

- Why?
- Why...

If you need to write about something
that you do not care about...

...or just cannot tell
what you think about the matter,

how do you write such a case?

Well, in that case,
I do not write!

But if it's necessary?

Do you have a friend?

I do. Two even!

- Really? Why, how?
- It's very simple...

One does not know about the other.
Only I know.

- Are you not unconfortable?
- Well, this is a nuisance,

...because it takes a lot of time.

No, this is not what
I'm talking about!

- I mean unconfortable
in a different sense. - No!

Let's say I go to the cinema
form 6 to 8 with one...

...then tell him goodbye
and start nightlife with the other.

- What do you mean by nightlife?
- You know, restaurants and other things...

visiting people, dancing,
drinking, debauchery.

You're making up things?

And if things get serious?

In that case, I have a friend!

He's always away.
He's a radio-operator.

We rarely see each other.
It's not very nice, but it has advantages.

I feel very free in
relationship with my other friends.

They know they I have someone like fiance
whom they do not know...

...and therefore they leave me alone.

Because in any other case it would
seem quite abnormal that

that I'm not close
to anyone in the company.

That I don't have a lover,
if you want to be exact.

Can you imagine the horror
of getting close to a boy

just because it is inconvenient
not to have a cavalier.

This boy can
poison your life.

That way everything is in order.

Do you know how beautiful
the moment of takeoff is?

Why did you stand on your head
last night?

I thought you would have liked it.

Comrade manager!

Comrade manager!
Who won?

- Who won?
- Everyone sees who won.

What is it, Comrade Stanimirov?
Why do you worry?

Nothing.
Absolutely nothing.

- We were on a trip.
- OK, we understand.

The wind was enormous up there.

Unfortunately we were not all there.
It would have been even more fun.

No doubt.

May I ask you for a moment?

Someone was looking for you on the phone.
A male voice.

Very nice,
very polite.

He presented himself as Nikolay. Seems
his family name was unnecessary to tell.

You probably know who it was?

Thank you.

Haemorrhage occurred
40 minutes ago.

Until now, he had no complaints.
I gave him the necessary assistance.

Here!

- Sister! X-ray first!
- Yes, Dr. Volev!

Call the doctor on duty!
He's getting worse!

What is it?
Make a shot of calcium!

Take it easy,
nothing to be afraid of.

- Syringe!
- OK!

Ah! Oh!

I'll give it a try.

Done.

Thermometer!

Dr. Borov, the picture.

Breathe calmly
and try to fall asleep.

Medicines in 2 hours!

- Take it in my office!
- OK.

- Do not leave the patient alone!
- OK, Doctor!

- Sister, I can stay.
- If there is anything, call me.

I'll take it away already?

Yes, enough for today.
Take it away.

Good day.

The last one today.

The last room on the left.

Doctor Stoyanov went
through the glass again.

That's normal for him.

- What is it?
- Nothing.

I came to say goodbye. Today
is the last day of my internship.

- And you won't come here any more?
- There's no need.

- I am much obliged to you.
- Eh!

Can I call you
when I'm leaving here?

When you are leaving
you will immediately forget

hospital and everything
related to it!

That is obvious.

And your friend
is not a bad girl at all.

Not bad.

We'll split up.

But you're almost healthy. You should've
said you saw the results yesterday!

If she wouldn't believe she could
ask your doctor!

It's not about my illness.

Something else.

Sorry, I do not know the details, but
if she loves you, you should wait anyway...

Sure.

She is expecting a baby.

It happened
before we got to know.

She said that this man
did not exist for her any more.

It was... a terrible accident.

Before we met.

Okay, okay.

- Good day.
- Good day.

- Have you been waiting?
- Only 5 minutes.

- Excuse me, but...
- No, do not worry.

- So you're healthy now?
- Well, almost.

I only have one afternoon.
At 8 I must be in my room.

You're looking very well.
Just need to be careful.

- So we're still in hospital, right?
- Okay, okay.

Aren't you angry,
that I called you?

I didn't even expect.

Did you know that we have not
seen exactly one month?

- Really entire month?
- Really.

I trully felt that.

- Coffee.
- Make it two coffees.

- We're not in the hospital.
- First box for 2 months.

I do not believe, but...

What's new with you?

They say that in one month
they will let me out.

But I'm not allowed to continue studying
for a year, will have to retake the course.

What about you?

Nothing.
Just waiting for the assignment.

I'll be preparing
to enroll on medicine.

From time to time I'll make a shot.

I seem to have become a major specialist
in it. After training a little on you.

The whole thing, of course,
is a talent.

It is true.
You were making them lightly.

What happened to your
girlfriend?

- Please.
- Thank you.

We parted.

She could not accept
what happened.

No matter what I said,
she did not agree.

She said the child is mine,
I want it.

And, of course,
that it is not easy for her.

I tried to understand her.

And then, how to tell
the parents, the friends.

I know that these are
details, but...

there are so many of them.

That's why I called you.

Only you know!

With nothing
I can help you.

I do not know how.

The hospital is easy.

You love her very much?

Why do you ask that?

Much.

Do you have a friend?

I do.

I envy you. It seems to me
that there is a real thing

in those people who fly.

You have to go. You will
be late because of me.

Just a little bit more.

A man is waiting for you.

Nikolai?

I'm sorry to bother you. They were
asking for you several times at home.

I told them you were not in Sofia.

It's about a series of injections.
They insist that you've made them.

- Intravenous?
- Yes.

For a child who was accustomed to you
and won't let them be done by anyone else.

They asked a few times when you'll be back.
I did not know what to answer them.

Why did not you call
on the phone?

I wanted to see you.

I 'll call.
I have their number somewhere.

Fine.

Otherwise, how are you?

Someone else was looking for me?

Yes, I almost forgot!
Nikolai. Your friend.

I gave him the phone
number here.

Yes, he called.

If you need anything...

Then...

I'll go.

Maria, I almost forgot! I bought you
a sweater. I hope you enjoy it.

I really do not understand it!

Do you...

If this key
to the apartment of your aunt...

If you have it...

I'll take it to your mom.

I can not tollerate this hell any more.

Let her do there
whatever she wants.

Because you have nothing
to do with this story, right?

Because you've never had anything
to do with me,

nor with my mother,
nor with Irina.

You're dealing only with
yourself and your work.

And you know when to make a gift
to make me feel sorry.

Make me think
that I am cruel, ungrateful

...because I don't understand you.
This is why you've brought it, right?

That's it, isn't it?

No, I brought it because
it gets cold here at night.

I got news about Irina.

They said she was gone.
An official notification.

No details.

- Just that she's gone?
- That's what they've said.

Irina is dead.

What is it?
What happened?

Irina, they said that
you're not there any more.

It will be very difficult for me now.

Doesn't matter what happens to you,
the important is to know what you want.

I want to be like you.

It's impossible. Everyone thinks
and experiences things in their own way.

I like the way you lived.

Time will pass, and you will understand,
that you like very different things.

You'll want all people
to be smart.

To think exactly
the way you think.

What you're looking for
will be more complicated.

Richer and harder.

And maybe then you'll find out
that you do not like it that much.

And that it is
not so scary.

After a major surgery,
when the sick is healed...

and one day goes down the stairs
down to the exit...

I want to run after him,
to catch up with him...

and tell him on the side:

Hey you, until yesterday
you could live the best way you could...

but now your life...
even if insignificant...

has to change!

For this life is
no longer just yours.

You have to become
something more.

You must start
being a real person.

Wherever you are,
whoever you are.

Run!
Wonderful!

Finally, we lived to see you!

- Hello.
- Hello.

- How did you know...
- You will not find out.

- You!
- No, no!

Help me!
Help!

Help! Help!
Help!

Help!

Hooligans!

You should let us know
Where you are going.

- Why?
- To contact you if necessary.

I did not suppose you could
need me so urgently.

Not me, someone was looking
for you on the phone.

Some Nikolai.

Didn't he ask you
to tell me anything?

- That he will call again?
- No, he seemed in a hurry.

Of course I did not tell him
that you're in the woods with a company.

Thank you. You've shown
extraordinary wits.

Innate sense of tact.

Only you would have done
better if you called me.

- This Nicholas is the radio-operator?
- Who?

- Your friend.
- No, just a guy.

- What?
- Nothing. I only thought...

- You're still making a very good
impression. - With what?

With not giving me any advice,
about how to do different things.

- Someone did that?
- No, but they were going to.

Do you like coffee?
Let's do some.

Stove, contact,
you know what to do?

And find some cups!

Should not I ask
the permission first?

- From whom?
- From the manager.

You're so scared
of this manager!

If he comes,
it's me who invited you.

That way no one should bother.

- Three, how much sugar?
- Very, very little.

I put more.
Let's make it somewhere in between.

Four, five,
enough.

Well,
Put them here.

What is your
marital status?

Do not answer,
if you do not want to.

- I'm divorced.
- Aha!

Would you like me
to tell you something?

Why not?
Tell me!

There is a special moment in relations
between a man and a woman.

It's very specific, I do not know
if you will understand.

Different things can
happen in a man's life.

Really different.

There are some hard times.

Some very hard.

And then this man
may need help.

Who else can help him,
if not his wife?

But it may happen that she does not
understand or says that she does not care.

He's left to handle it
on his own.

The best way he can.

And then this man,
to put it bluntly, feels betrayed.

- Thats how it is
- And if at the same time...

the woman needs help?

Then she and he
can seek help...

outside the home
and try to find peace somewhere else.

I think if you love someone
it is not because we want them to help you,

but quite other reasons!

You love him,
because you love him.

When love disappears, do not look
for reasons in that you did not find help.

If someone starts
considering who helps whom...

Have you found any help
outside your own home?

Who is this Nikolai?
You may not answer, if you do not want to.

A guy who is looking for me
on the phone. That is who Nikolai is.

- Why are you looking at me?
- Because you're nice.

- Sorry?
- You're nice.

Does it annoy you?

Goodbye! And if you turned on
the stove, do not forget to turn it off.

- Wait! We're going in the same direction!
- I didn't know.

- Goodbye!
- You will not enter?

- Heaven forbid!
- Too bad!

- Have you seen the manager?
- No.

- What happened?
- What is it?

The phone rang.
Did not you hear?

If they need me,
they will call again.

The phone rang!

And please, do not send me
more of these frozen chicken!

Yes, we got the rest!

Yes! 100 kg
of potatoes, 20...

I... because
of the phone...

What's going on here?
What is this madness?

- Can I come in?
- The door!

- And the other one.
- OK.

- What are you doing?
- Thanks, I'm fine.

- No, I...
- I need to finish something.

- How much do you have left?
- Almost finished.

- Okay, I 'll wait.
- Hm?

It will be quite soon.

I will wait.

Just finish it.
I beg you.

Done.
Finished.

Is the car behind
the holiday home yours?

Yes. What happened?

I have a very important job
in Sofia.

You should have told immediately.
I thought, who knows what happened.

I will explain on the way.
Come on!

Thank you.

Tonight will you
be coming back?

If you wait for me at 6:30
on Orlov bridge, we can get back together.

I'll wait!

- Maria?!
- Good afternoon, Dr. Ivanov.

- Hey, what brings you here?
- Well, Just a small matter.

Here's the card,
second floor, last door.

- First you fill the card.
- Galya!

Moment! Ah!
You're here at last?

- They've sent you here?
- No, I'm just passing by.

I do not know the assignment yet.

I wanted to ask what happened to that
boy from room 32, Nikolai.

He was discharged
ten days ago.

- Why?
- I have something to tell him.

- Do you have his address?
- Yes, wait.

We'll find it in his card.

- Hello! Galya! It's for you!
- Wait!

Yes! Yes!
At 5:00.

Okay, I 'll go get it.

- Good day.
- Good day.

- Is Nikolai here?
- Who? Brother?

- Nikolai.
- Come in.

Please.

- Can I offer you something?
- What?

No, I just need
to see Nikolai.

Are you Rumiana?

Not Rumiana,
I'm Maria.

So you're a friend
of Rumiana?

Well, we have seen several
times, but I'm not her friend.

Brother Nikolay is not home.

- But he will be back?
- He will, but not soon.

- Why did not you tell me?
- Well, just like that.

Shame!

Wait, wait!
Are you a nurse?

- No, I'm a flight attendant.
- Stewardess?

Wait, I'll
call brother Nikolai.

Hello? Maria.

From you. A little girl
helped me.

Almost.

I know, that's why I'm here.

I have to go to one place.
To my aunt's. Can you come there?

Liberation Street 28,
apartment 44.

Good day.

Welcome.

- What's this?
- A lamp. Decorative.

Like it?

A lot.

May I...

A flower!

Maria, I've married.

What?

Nothing.

This is good.

It is wonderful.

You have made something big.

So, what happened?
Tell me!

Well, you were right.

I really love her.

Suddenly everything
lost sense.

- I...
- Yes.

I'll put in the flowers.

Go on! Tell me!

Immediately I started looking for her,
but she has moved to a friend.

Her parents have learnt
and made a big fuss.

I was searching
from morning till night. Nothing.

For two nights I didn't
come back to the hospital.

I was like crazy!

I'm listening to you.

When I found her, I told her everything.
She cried a lot.

It has accumulated over
these months living in uncertainty.

The next day I was looking for you.
I called the holiday home.

I was told that you're not there.

And 3 days ago
we got married.

I really wanted
you to be with us.

Sorry.

When they told me that Nicolai was looking
for me, I knew something's happened.

Yet, to say honestly...

I did not think that
it would go so well for you.

Should I play some record?

Why did you want me to be
with you at the wedding?

A record!

So why should
I be with you?

I always wished
us to be friends.

Can not we?

I need to leave immediately.

In the evening I need to see off
my friend, he is flying to...

Yes, yes!

No, no! You misunderstood me!
You can stay as long as you want.

Only I must go.

There's a flight to...

- Where do you live with her?
- Why?

Stop wandering
in the streets and cafes.

Call her on the phone
and tell to come here.

It's cold now. Do not forget
that you were sick.

- Do you agree or not?
- About what?

To live here.

Do not look at me like that.
My aunt Irina used to live here.

She went abroad
and will not be back... soon.

Will be glad when
she gets to know what I did.

Here's the key.

Oh, it's very late!
He's not used to wait for me!

I don't want to hurt him
just before his flight.

Everything is in place.
Everything is at your disposal.

When you play music
just be careful

if it is too loud
the guys above get angry.

Goodbye.
