Spring

Hello, Tonischka...
so you're back?

Mom...

I knew that you would
come back one day...

You're so beautiful...



...did you find a nice
place in the city?

You know, Jean,
Toinette came back...

Toinette?

You don't recognize him?

Yes, my boy...
She has a good place...

She has become pale, over there...

Oh... she'll quickly regain
her pretty colors here...

When are we getting married?

Don't ask me anything...
I have to return to the city...
Goodbye...

Each night, in a stifling atmosphere
of drinking and artificial joy...

Mr. Plouck, street vendor
and society man



It was good that Tonischka returned.
They were beginning to get fed up.

Look at her: She's
going to burst with pride.

To your happiness, Tonischka!

My happiness...

It's a delicate issue Madam.
Gather everyone.

Is there anyone of you who
would like to do a good deed?

...someone condemned
to death has asked.

...me...

You have courage Miss... Come...

How much time is left?

Until dawn.

The woman...?

We're getting her...

What have you
come here for?

I wanted a woman...

What about your mother?

I no longer have a mother.

No one?

No one!

I know why I've come now...

...the client's suitcase...

ELI SCHLAGER
Executioners

Leave me your hankerchief...

To become a little child again...

...Courage...

...Go...

Courage!

Justice is done.
(The sentence was executed.)

Our Father

who art in Heaven

have mercy

on his soul

Forgive him for his trespasses

thy will be done.

Did your man go to heaven?

Hey, Plouck. You don't
have a doll on you?

Remember!

Widow of a hanged!

Tonka of the Gallows!

Tonka of the Gallows!

Enough is enough!
My customers don't want you anymore...

Then... I just have to pack my bags.

Of course!

On the street...

Cafe "Rich"

Look at what the street
has made of her...

What do you want?
The street... It's the street...

Beware... the widow of the hanged.

So, just like that...
they fired you?

No more showing off?

You, little girl... if you'd like...

Leave her alone...

Take the key and go
sleep at our house...

Finally, I've found you again!

You don't feel pity for your mother?

This time, we're getting married...

Summer.

The eve of the wedding.

Long live Tonischka!

Your fianc?e's name
is Tonischka?

I also once knew
a Tonischka...

...she was a beautiful girl...

...but I wouldn't have gone to console
someone condemned to death...

Widow of a hanged!

Tonka of the Gallows!

Autumn

Winter

I'm telling you that he spent
his last night with her...

You, come here.

Tell him what happened.

Jean, take me with you.

Jean...

My dress...

Protect me...
