minute to wrap it up.
Ryskulov! Ryskulov!
I could never imagine that
you could be so beautiful.
Yuriy Borisov
Did the other soldier die?
Doctor, your attention
is needed over here.
Why are you here? Are
you in good health?

asking? Where s Igor?

Who s causing
troubles around here?
This novel by Kuprin
Listen to me carefully!
It might also be in the list you will be
presented with for the composition exam.
Alya? Shirokova!
I also love Kiev in the springtime, but you
should focus on the upcoming exams here!
Produced by Viktor Mirskiy
I'm sorry, Nina Afanasievna,
but I'm going to pick another
topic for my composition anyway.
Oh really? Well, it s up to you,
but if you d care to share why,
I d be most grateful.
Kyiv, April 25, 1986
I think that all of these yarns
about how in love the Zheltkovs were
or about poor Lisa are fairy tales
and have nothing to do with real life.
So forgive me, Nina Afanasievna,
if I can't quite take it seriously.
Wow, look at the big
brain on this one.
Shut it, Zyaba.
Knock it off, Zyablikov. It s
a shame you feel this way, Alya.
Throughout the history of literature,
especially classic Russian literature,
the theme of Sacrifice in the name of
love has been central. Yes, yes, Alya!
Starting with The
word of Igor s army .
Hey, relax now. No one is
going anywhere. Sit down.
Tomorrow is a Saturday? It s a shame
you don't have my class tomorrow.
Tomorrow is a Saturday? It s a shame
you don't have my class tomorrow.
But no worries, we will definitely
continue on this topic first thing Monday.
Good-bye for now.
Shirokova has a point! Our John Lennon over
here is in love with the actor Tihonov-
so should she be swallowing
matches now or something?
Dumbass.
Zyaba!
What!
Seriously, what did I do?
Did I say a thing that would
call for the reaction I got?
Hodatsky!
Yes.
Yes. Come here a minute. Are
you the one smoking Cosmos?
Come here a minute. Are you
the one smoking Cosmos?
Ugh.
Knock it off. Let s
go clean it up.
You'll do fine in composition.
What am I supposed to do?
Don't worry. I'll write
it for you if Afanasievna
doesn't send me to
the Headmistress again.
Okay, bye.
Alya! Do you want the jeans or not?
Ante up, or I will sell them to Oxana.
Oh! Please don't give
it away just yet, Galka!
I am a little short, but I'll get it
from my grandad or Maryana today.
Go ahead but Ksusha has
already tried them on.
Hurry up, girls!
You midget!
Hello Auntie Lisa!
Hello, Alinka.
I'm coming! Grandad,
have you got dough?
What? What dough?
Did something happen?
I mean have you got
any money? What for?
Galka is holding a pair of jeans for me but
I'm a little short. How much do you need?
A tenner. I only have
three. Have you asked Maryanka?
She manages all our finances
anyway. Ugh. No, she s stingy.
Wait up, I've got news! What
is it? - Your father called.
Daddy! Yeah! - Why didn't
you say anything right away?!
Like it s that simple with you!
Yes, he is back to the USSR!
The war is over or
our brave heart.
When is he going to be back home?
- He promised to be here after Victory Day.
He d gotten permission to leave,
but that's the only time he can make it.
That's like two more weeks!
- Well it s a military thing!
You really should
stay home today!
What if he calls again?
When is Maryanka
going to be back?
She should be back from
the hospital any minute now.
Are you going to wait for her or
will you go ahead with dinner?
I'll wait, Gramps.
Okay, fine.
Ricky, my girl. You wait for me.
Don't worry, dad will be home soon.
You re not eating bread again.
I thought we could go visit
aunt Nadya on the weekends.
In Pripyat. What do
you think, Alevtina?
There s nothing there. You'll run off
to your Igor as soon as we get there.
What am I supposed to do?
Visit aunt Nadya, right!
Why don't you just
get married already?
That's none of your business.
But I would let you drive. Huh?
What about school? Won't I miss
a crucial part of my education?
Alya, just go already. Have a
trip! Maryana will write you a note.
It s not like they re going to
exclude you for missing a day.
Daddy!
Hello!
- Alya, it s me!
Dad? Yes! I'm back!
Yes, grandad told me! Why is it
taking so long? How is school?
Have they kicked you out yet?
School? Everything is fine!
And what about university?
Of course I'm going!
Listen, dad, I've got a sweet
deal on a pair of frosted jeans,
but Maryana is being stingy!
What jeans? What do
you mean what jeans?
It s the latest trend they
have going, apparently.
Fine, get them! - Good! Just
come as soon as you can!
Where s Maryana? Is she home? She s right
here. Wait a second. I love you daddy!
Come on already!
Hi dad! Hi! Yes.
See? I'm back you worried for nothing!
Thank god it s all behind you now.
How s work? It s
okay. Actually it s much
better since they hired
another endocrinologist.
How s Gramps? How is his blood
pressure? We measured it yesterday.
Everything seems to be okay.
A real tough one, him! Yes
he is. We re thinking of going
to Aunt Nadya s for the weekend.
The two of you? Yeah, Alya
and I. Is Igor there? Igor?
What does Igor have
to do with it?
Oh absolutely! Igor has
nothing to do with it!
Okay, let me talk to Gramps.
Okay dad, wait a sec.
Okay, kisses, bye.
Hello!
Alya! Get over here!
Don't touch the mirror, how
many times must I tell you?
You think I don't know what
you re going to tell your Igor?
I really didn't want to come,
but my silly sister made me.
That's an awful impression
of me. But when dad gets home
I'm so telling him that you've
been smoking his cigarettes.
I didn't smoke them. I gave them
to the guys! You did smoke them!
You you shave your legs! What
an idiot - Right back at you! Alya!
La la la la! My sister
shaves her legs!
Damn it. It s all your fault!
Hurry it up, Maryana! Faster!
Now what are we supposed to do?
How should I know? You re the one that
took all those courses on car maintenance!
The spark plug is
down. Change it then!
Why are you parked in the middle of
the road? Why aren't the blinkers on?
Hello, officer. Ugh. Hello.
You know you can't just park in
the middle of the road like that!
Excuse me, what s your name?
My name? Yes. Your name.
Lieutenant Strigunok. Is
Strigunok your name or surname?
Alya!
It s my surname. It s a normal enough
surname. My name is Lyosha. Alexey.
Well my name is Alevtina. Alya.
Comrade Lieutenant Strigunok,
could you please
take a look at what
s wrong with our car?
Yes of course. I'll
have a look. Thank you.
Oh. This wire got disconnected.
See, Maryana. I told you that
it was all in the - Wire. Exactly!
So will it start?
Yes. Try it now.
Thank you so much. Could you
tell us how to get to Pripyat?
I've heard there is some sort
of shortcut. You need to take
the road to Chernobyl.
Right by the plant.
Thank you ever so much Lieutenant
Strigunok. We will never forget you.
You re welcome. Anytime.
Bye.
Who knows? Maybe destiny
will bring us back together!
What the hell are you doing, you
piece of dirt!? Who taught you this crap?
I don't know what you mean.
Come on, start! Please!
Looks like we will
have to spend the night.
We re almost there! Do you remember
which wire that Strigunok fixed?
I was certain you
would remember.
Alya, let the dog out.
Ricky.
It s so quiet.
Ricky! Alya, get
back in the car!
Ricky!
My god, what is that?
Out of the way! Get that
car the hell out of the way.
I don't know how! It broke down!
Go! Go!
Maryana!
Okay, bring it in! Go, go,
go. Stop, that's enough!
Pripyat. April 26, 1986.
Here!
Okay.
Hey lady! Come with us!
Come on, hurry up! I'm coming!
Kostya, take a picture.
Kubok, this is 24-50-5, waiting
for the landing order. This is Kubok.
Fly over to the gates.
Wind speed is 2-3 meters per
second. You've got permission to land.
Greetings!
I don't even know how bad it is
yet. Let s hope it s a false alarm.
Boris, why are they
calling me to Kiev?
It s not just you - Kuzichev
is also being called in.
Orders from HQ. I wonder
what they have cooking.
I was promised a leave
from the twelfth.
Get that out of the
way. Keep moving.
You'll have your leave. Listen Nikolay,
since you re my second in command
I'll let you in on it. They are going to
be handing out medals for May Day.
And that's all? What
were you expecting?
You will be shown on TV. Let your
daughters see their father the hero!
My daughters are here in Pripyat,
by the way. They came to visit their aunt.
Oh. Well.
Tomorrow night, maybe the day
after tomorrow, you can all go together.
I just want to let them know I
m here. Sorry, I can't let you go.
There is going to be a meeting
in an hour and I need you here.
Write them a note. I'll get someone
to deliver it. Don't forget the address.
To the headquarters.
Great. No one is home.
What is it with us today?
I'm hungry. I can't even think about
that now. My head hurts And I'm nauseous.
Morning sickness. Are you crazy?
Where did you learn these things from?
We had a class at
school. Right.
Maryana, is that you? With Alya!
Hi, Aunt Valya! How are you? Oh
we haven't slept a wink last night.
Why not? Something
happened at the plant.
Yeah, we saw. It was a terrible
explosion. We had to leave the car.
We barely made it and
now there is no one home.
Wait! Nadezda left the keys for
you. Let me get them. Okay.
Maryana. What s wrong?
Private Derzhavin,
reporting for duty.
Oh, Derzhavin. You wouldn't happen to
be the descendant of Gavriil Romanovich?
The poet. No. My village
is called Derzhavnoe.
That's where I got
my surname from.
Shame. Here, deliver it to this address.
And tell them tell them to wait for me.
Yes sir. Right away.
Right away. Derzhavin.
Oh, here comes the suitor!
Hello, Illarion Mikhailovich!
Hold on to the door,
cause we've got drafts.
Where are Maryana and Alya?
Are they still in Pripyat?
I thought Maryana was in Kiev. Looks
like you missed each other. Okay, come in.
I had to hitchhike. There
are major traffic disruptions.
If only I knew they were coming,
I d wait for them. Why'd you come then?
I told you, Illarion Mikhailovich,
I've got a pre-graduation leave. I see.
Why didn't you wait for Maryana?
She went to meet with you?
I had some concerns. Fire broke
out yesterday at the power plant.
Looks like there was
a small accident.
My father is a nuclear physicist.
He told me about similar accounts.
You see? People died. What?
Pripyat. Medical
Sanitation Department 126.
Vasya! Vasya!
Sergei!
Maryana Nikolaevna? Why are you
here? Are you feeling alright?
Yes, why do you ask?
Where s Igor? He d gone.
Where? To see you in
Kiev. His leave starts today.
But we agreed to meet up here!
That's strange. He said he needed to
get to Kiev because you were very sick.
Me sick? No, there
must be some mistake.
Maybe there s been a
misunderstanding. Maybe it s just me.
I'm sorry but I'm just so
awfully busy. I have to go.
I'm going to go warn my
sister and come back to help.
Are my girls all right?
Of course they are.
Why didn't you call? I
spent all day here by the
phone. I tried to call.
There was no connection.
DLD has been cut off in the entire
city. I wouldn't go unless Sergei told me.
Sergei who? My colleague. He
told me that patients with visible signs
of radiation exposure have
been admitted to the hospital.
How many? Huh? What? How
many patients? There s a plenty.
The medical personnel is
running off their legs.
There aren't enough wards for
the victims. It s got chilly in here.
Illarion Mikhailovich,
please don't get me wrong.
I've just graduated. I
haven't got much experience.
I don't think I could be of any help there.
Besides, it s not my field of expertise.
I am a children s doctor.
Is Sergei a doctor, too?
Yes. He s a gynecologist.
Gynecologist. And
you re on paid leave.
You must be thinking I did wrong. I was
about to feed you some cabbage soup.
You must have got hungry
running away from your patients.
I said to hold on to the door!
Lida,
tell Grisha not to take the bike while
I'm away. Do you hear
me? He will wreck it.
Vasya, my dear! Sanya, you?
You shouldn't be here with me.
Take care of our child.
I will,
I will. You need to take care of
yourself. Why are they
sending you to Moscow?
Why don't they let you stay
at home? It s all right.
I always wanted to see
the capital city.
Let s go!
Good-bye!
Doctor, your attention
is needed! I'm coming!
One moment.
It s from my dad!
Ugh. The Major also asked me
to tell you to wait for him. That's all.
Wait. Where are you going?
Did I say you could go?
Excuse me? Have you
eaten today? No I haven't.
Good, because my sister left for the
hospital and I can't stand to eat alone.
Let s go. But I can't. They
will kill me if I'm not back soon.
Who, my dad? No, the sergeant.
Listen, my dad is more important that
any sergeant, so let s go. I have a cake.
Have some more, don't
be shy. No, thank you.
At this rate there will be
nothing left for your sister.
There will, don't
worry. You re funny.
Who do you live with
in Kiev? My grandad.
Oh. What about your mom?
My mom died a long time ago.
I'm sorry, I didn't know. It s
fine. I don't even remember her.
I got this watch
from her though.
More tea? No no no, thank you. Let
me wash the dishes and then I'm off.
Wash the dishes? That's a little
too much. I'll do it myself.
You are so weird. Sit down.
Why am I weird? I m
just not from the city.
Fair enough but what
did you do at home?
Do you have any passions
or hobbies? I don't know.
Maybe you like fine
art? Or theatre?
We don't have a theatre.
Only a rec center.
Ah, what about music?
Do you like modern music?
Modern Talking, Duran Duran or
maybe our bands like Kino or something?
Did they play Tsoy in that center of
yours? I've heard a couple of songs.
A couple of songs? Everyone
is mad about them right now!
You need to know these
things! Here, listen.
(Singing)
You like it? I do.
I also like the classics.
Grandad told me that when my
mom would sing Solveig I cried.
Funny isn't it? Why?
Grieg is a great composer.
You know Grieg s
music? Play something.
Let me. Wait, here. Uh-huh.
Like this.
24-205, I am Kubok. You are over
the object. Careful over there.
That was beautiful. I must look
like such an idiot Why? No, not at all.
You really aren't
mad at me? No.
Then play something else. I really have
to get going. Thank you for Thank you.
Wait, I'll see you out.
Where did you learn playing
the piano so well? My teacher,
Lilia Mikhailovna,
was giving me lessons.
At school? No, at the children
s home. What? I am an orphan.
So what? Nothing.
So, you've got no one?
Why? I wasn't alone
there. I've got friends.
I see. Come see us
tomorrow if you want.
Well they won't let me go. Tell my
dad. He will make sure they let you go.
What will I tell him? What, they don
t ever give you permission to leave?
Sometimes they do. One guy
was allowed to spend time
with his mother and
sister who came to see him.
I will say that I m
your sister then!
But I'm an orphan
- Oh, sorry.
Would they let you
see your fiancee?
Meaning you? Why not? If you want
Why are you looking at me like that?
I can't play jokes like
that. Don't play jokes.
They won't believe
me. Why? Because!
Why won't they believe
you? Go ahead and tell me!
Why won't they
believe? Because!
Why? Because because we never
even kissed! Is this necessary?
Yes, it is! That's how it works.
Or are you scared? Why? No.
Yes. No. Please, go ahead.
Looks like you got scared! I
don't want it to be like this.
Like this? It s not a joking
matter. All right, let s do it for real.
You re so foolish. Me?
No. I'm a straight-A student.
I'll be honest with you. I
always wanted to have someone.
And so? I'm being serious.
Won't you change your
mind later? About what?
About what we've been
discussing just now
Am I a little girl? Wait! I will be taking
care of you. You will be taking care?
What if you don't get
permission to leave?
How will you be taking care of me? I'll
be thinking about you. That's something!
May I? Yes. You may do it starting today.
You may start thinking about me right now.
That's at mine. Wait,
I'll come with you.
You can't go any further.
When will I see you again?
I'll come. Just please don't change
your mind. I promised I wouldn't.
Okay.
Wait! What is it?
We forgot the most
important thing. Which one?
The kiss. Isn't it
necessary? Yes.
There you go. Alright.
Wait! What s your name?
Pasha. Pavel. What s yours?
Alevtina. But you have to call me Alya.
Good. Okay. Bye, Pavel.
Alya! Alechka! Alya,
it s Aunt Valya.
Oh, Alechka. What is it?
Where is Maryana? She s at the hospital.
They say a lot of firefighters got hurt.
Yeah. Well they have all been sent
to Moscow. There s no one there.
Why would Maryana go to Moscow?
What s the matter, Aunt Valya?
My son in law came from Borispol, he
took all the injured people to the airport,
and he says that there was a
young female doctor, pretty,
not from around
here named Maryana
What about her? Right in front
of the plane She fainted. She fell?
Yes. And blood came from
her nose. Why blood?
She became sick. From those
who were brought from the plant.
I don't understand it.
What is she sick with?
Atoms, radiation it s in the air
Everyone is getting
sick now. My god.
Kubok, I am 24-200-5, the mission
is complete. We are landing now.
Comrade major. What
is it? Check this out.
♪ Don't be sad, my
rotor-driven friend ♪
♪ That there aren't
beautiful songs about us ♪
♪ I promise to write
a song about you ♪
♪ Just whistle me a
tune with your rotors ♪
How d you like it?
It s bearable.
You don't know the first thing
about lyrics, comrade major!
I don't like this?
It sounds good to me.
Kuzin, it s excellent lyrics.
I don't like this lull.
I don't understand why they
ordered to stop burying the reactor.
Our superiors know better.
You think so? Hell yes.
Here they come. I bet they'll
start delivering presents now.
Put the guitar aside.
You re no pop singer.
Knock it off, Nikolai. I've just
got a call from the headquarters.
They re thinking
evacuation. The whole city.
Excuse me, where can I find
Maryana Nikolaevna, a doctor?
Sergei Alexeevich might know. Go straight
through the corridor, then turn right.
Hello. I know you.
You re Alya, right? Yes.
What happened to my sister?
Excuse me, I'm exhausted.
The X-ray room is the safest
place now in the hospital.
What s with my sister?
- Yes, yes. Maryana Nikolaevna.
She s got signs of
radiation sickness.
What does it mean? Is it dangerous?
I don't think toy should be concerned.
Her contacts with the sick
people were rather brief.
Sergei Alexeevich.
Switch the radio on!
Due to an accident at the Chornobyl
Power Plant unfavorable climate
is shaping up in the city of Pripyat.
Temporary evacuation is required.

Okay, bye.
Alya! Do you want the jeans or not?
Ante up, or I will sell them to Oxana.
Oh! Please don't give
it away just yet, Galka!
I am a little short, but I'll get it
from my grandad or Maryana today.
Go ahead but Ksusha has
already tried them on.
Hurry up, girls!
You midget!
Hello Auntie Lisa!
Hello, Alinka.
I'm coming! Grandad,
have you got dough?
What? What dough?
Did something happen?
I mean have you got
any money? What for?
Galka is holding a pair of jeans for me but
I'm a little short. How much do you need?
A tenner. I only have
three. Have you asked Maryanka?
She manages all our finances

Wait up, I've got news! What

Yes, he is back to the USSR!
The war is over or

When is he going to be back home?
- He promised to be here after Victory Day.
He d gotten permission to leave,
but that's the only time he can make it.
That's like two more weeks!
- Well it s a military thing!
You really should
stay home today!
What if he calls again?
When is Maryanka
going to be back?
She should be back from
the hospital any minute now.
Are you going to wait for her or
will you go ahead with dinner?
I'll wait, Gramps.
Okay, fine.
Ricky, my girl. You wait for me.
Don't worry, dad will be home soon.
You re not eating bread again.
I thought we could go visit
aunt Nadya on the weekends.
In Pripyat. What do
you think, Alevtina?
There s nothing there. You'll run off
to your Igor as soon as we get there.
What am I supposed to do?
Visit aunt Nadya, right!
Why don't you just
get married already?
That's none of your business.
But I would let you drive. Huh?
What about school? Won't I miss
a crucial part of my education?
Alya, just go already. Have a
trip! Maryana will write you a note.
It s not like they re going to
exclude you for missing a day.
Daddy!
Hello!
- Alya, it s me!
Dad? Yes! I'm back!
Yes, grandad told me! Why is it
taking so long? How is school?
Have they kicked you out yet?
School? Everything is fine!
And what about university?
Of course I'm going!
Listen, dad, I've got a sweet
deal on a pair of frosted jeans,
but Maryana is being stingy!
What jeans? What do
you mean what jeans?
It s the latest trend they
have going, apparently.
Fine, get them! - Good! Just
come as soon as you can!
Where s Maryana? Is she home? She s right
here. Wait a second. I love you daddy!
Come on already!
Hi dad! Hi! Yes.
See? I'm back you worried for nothing!
Thank god it s all behind you now.
How s work? It s
okay. Actually it s much
better since they hired
another endocrinologist.
How s Gramps? How is his blood
pressure? We measured it yesterday.
Everything seems to be okay.
A real tough one, him! Yes
he is. We re thinking of going
to Aunt Nadya s for the weekend.
The two of you? Yeah, Alya
and I. Is Igor there? Igor?
What does Igor have
to do with it?
Oh absolutely! Igor has
nothing to do with it!
Okay, let me talk to Gramps.
Okay dad, wait a sec.
Okay, kisses, bye.
Hello!
Alya! Get over here!
Don't touch the mirror, how
many times must I tell you?
You think I don't know what
you re going to tell your Igor?
I really didn't want to come,
but my silly sister made me.
That's an awful impression
of me. But when dad gets home
I'm so telling him that you've
been smoking his cigarettes.
I didn't smoke them. I gave them
to the guys! You did smoke them!
You you shave your legs! What
an idiot - Right back at you! Alya!
La la la la! My sister
shaves her legs!
Damn it. It s all your fault!
Hurry it up, Maryana! Faster!
Now what are we supposed to do?
How should I know? You re the one that
took all those courses on car maintenance!
The spark plug is
down. Change it then!
Why are you parked in the middle of
the road? Why aren't the blinkers on?
Hello, officer. Ugh. Hello.
You know you can't just park in
the middle of the road like that!
Excuse me, what s your name?
My name? Yes. Your name.
Lieutenant Strigunok. Is
Strigunok your name or surname?
Alya!
It s my surname. It s a normal enough
surname. My name is Lyosha. Alexey.
Well my name is Alevtina. Alya.
Comrade Lieutenant Strigunok,
could you please
take a look at what
s wrong with our car?
Yes of course. I'll
have a look. Thank you.
Oh. This wire got disconnected.
See, Maryana. I told you that
it was all in the - Wire. Exactly!
So will it start?
Yes. Try it now.
Thank you so much. Could you
tell us how to get to Pripyat?
I've heard there is some sort
of shortcut. You need to take
the road to Chernobyl.
Right by the plant.
Thank you ever so much Lieutenant
Strigunok. We will never forget you.
You re welcome. Anytime.
Bye.
Who knows? Maybe destiny
will bring us back together!
What the hell are you doing, you
piece of dirt!? Who taught you this crap?
I don't know what you mean.
Come on, start! Please!
Looks like we will
have to spend the night.
We re almost there! Do you remember
which wire that Strigunok fixed?
I was certain you
would remember.
Alya, let the dog out.
Ricky.
It s so quiet.
Ricky! Alya, get
back in the car!
Ricky!
My god, what is that?
Out of the way! Get that
car the hell out of the way.
I don't know how! It broke down!
Go! Go!
Maryana!
Okay, bring it in! Go, go,
go. Stop, that's enough!
Pripyat. April 26, 1986.
Here!
Okay.
Hey lady! Come with us!
Come on, hurry up! I'm coming!
Kostya, take a picture.
Kubok, this is 24-50-5, waiting
for the landing order. This is Kubok.
Fly over to the gates.
Wind speed is 2-3 meters per
second. You've got permission to land.
Greetings!
I don't even know how bad it is
yet. Let s hope it s a false alarm.
Boris, why are they
calling me to Kiev?
It s not just you - Kuzichev
is also being called in.
Orders from HQ. I wonder
what they have cooking.
I was promised a leave
from the twelfth.
Get that out of the
way. Keep moving.
You'll have your leave. Listen Nikolay,
since you re my second in command
I'll let you in on it. They are going to
be handing out medals for May Day.
And that's all? What
were you expecting?
You will be shown on TV. Let your
daughters see their father the hero!
My daughters are here in Pripyat,
by the way. They came to visit their aunt.
Oh. Well.
Tomorrow night, maybe the day
after tomorrow, you can all go together.
I just want to let them know I
m here. Sorry, I can't let you go.
There is going to be a meeting
in an hour and I need you here.
Write them a note. I'll get someone
to deliver it. Don't forget the address.
To the headquarters.
Great. No one is home.
What is it with us today?
I'm hungry. I can't even think about
that now. My head hurts And I'm nauseous.
Morning sickness. Are you crazy?
Where did you learn these things from?
We had a class at
school. Right.
Maryana, is that you? With Alya!
Hi, Aunt Valya! How are you? Oh
we haven't slept a wink last night.
Why not? Something
happened at the plant.
Yeah, we saw. It was a terrible
explosion. We had to leave the car.
We barely made it and
now there is no one home.
Wait! Nadezda left the keys for
you. Let me get them. Okay.
Maryana. What s wrong?
Private Derzhavin,
reporting for duty.
Oh, Derzhavin. You wouldn't happen to
be the descendant of Gavriil Romanovich?
The poet. No. My village
is called Derzhavnoe.
That's where I got
my surname from.
Shame. Here, deliver it to this address.
And tell them tell them to wait for me.
Yes sir. Right away.
Right away. Derzhavin.
Oh, here comes the suitor!
Hello, Illarion Mikhailovich!
Hold on to the door,
cause we've got drafts.
Where are Maryana and Alya?
Are they still in Pripyat?
I thought Maryana was in Kiev. Looks
like you missed each other. Okay, come in.
I had to hitchhike. There
are major traffic disruptions.
If only I knew they were coming,
I d wait for them. Why'd you come then?
I told you, Illarion Mikhailovich,
I've got a pre-graduation leave. I see.
Why didn't you wait for Maryana?
She went to meet with you?
I had some concerns. Fire broke
out yesterday at the power plant.
Looks like there was
a small accident.
My father is a nuclear physicist.
He told me about similar accounts.
You see? People died. What?
Pripyat. Medical
Sanitation Department 126.
Vasya! Vasya!
Sergei!
Maryana Nikolaevna? Why are you
here? Are you feeling alright?
Yes, why do you ask?
Where s Igor? He d gone.
Where? To see you in
Kiev. His leave starts today.
But we agreed to meet up here!
That's strange. He said he needed to
get to Kiev because you were very sick.
Me sick? No, there
must be some mistake.
Maybe there s been a
misunderstanding. Maybe it s just me.
I'm sorry but I'm just so
awfully busy. I have to go.
I'm going to go warn my
sister and come back to help.
Are my girls all right?
Of course they are.
Why didn't you call? I
spent all day here by the
phone. I tried to call.
There was no connection.
DLD has been cut off in the entire
city. I wouldn't go unless Sergei told me.
Sergei who? My colleague. He
told me that patients with visible signs
of radiation exposure have
been admitted to the hospital.
How many? Huh? What? How
many patients? There s a plenty.
The medical personnel is
running off their legs.
There aren't enough wards for
the victims. It s got chilly in here.
Illarion Mikhailovich,
please don't get me wrong.
I've just graduated. I
haven't got much experience.
I don't think I could be of any help there.
Besides, it s not my field of expertise.
I am a children s doctor.
Is Sergei a doctor, too?
Yes. He s a gynecologist.
Gynecologist. And
you re on paid leave.
You must be thinking I did wrong. I was
about to feed you some cabbage soup.
You must have got hungry
running away from your patients.
I said to hold on to the door!
Lida,
tell Grisha not to take the bike while
I'm away. Do you hear
me? He will wreck it.
Vasya, my dear! Sanya, you?
You shouldn't be here with me.
Take care of our child.
I will,
I will. You need to take care of
yourself. Why are they
sending you to Moscow?
Why don't they let you stay
at home? It s all right.
I always wanted to see
the capital city.
Let s go!
Good-bye!
Doctor, your attention
is needed! I'm coming!
One moment.
It s from my dad!
Ugh. The Major also asked me
to tell you to wait for him. That's all.
Wait. Where are you going?
Did I say you could go?
Excuse me? Have you
eaten today? No I haven't.
Good, because my sister left for the
hospital and I can't stand to eat alone.
Let s go. But I can't. They
will kill me if I'm not back soon.
Who, my dad? No, the sergeant.
Listen, my dad is more important that
any sergeant, so let s go. I have a cake.
Have some more, don't
be shy. No, thank you.
At this rate there will be
nothing left for your sister.
There will, don't
worry. You re funny.
Who do you live with
in Kiev? My grandad.
Oh. What about your mom?
My mom died a long time ago.
I'm sorry, I didn't know. It s
fine. I don't even remember her.
I got this watch
from her though.
More tea? No no no, thank you. Let
me wash the dishes and then I'm off.
Wash the dishes? That's a little
too much. I'll do it myself.
You are so weird. Sit down.
Why am I weird? I m
just not from the city.
Fair enough but what
did you do at home?
Do you have any passions
or hobbies? I don't know.
Maybe you like fine
art? Or theatre?
We don't have a theatre.
Only a rec center.
Ah, what about music?
Do you like modern music?
Modern Talking, Duran Duran or
maybe our bands like Kino or something?
Did they play Tsoy in that center of
yours? I've heard a couple of songs.
A couple of songs? Everyone
is mad about them right now!
You need to know these
things! Here, listen.
(Singing)
You like it? I do.
I also like the classics.
Grandad told me that when my
mom would sing Solveig I cried.
Funny isn't it? Why?
Grieg is a great composer.
You know Grieg s
music? Play something.
Let me. Wait, here. Uh-huh.
Like this.
24-205, I am Kubok. You are over
the object. Careful over there.
That was beautiful. I must look
like such an idiot Why? No, not at all.
You really aren't
mad at me? No.
Then play something else. I really have
to get going. Thank you for Thank you.
Wait, I'll see you out.
Where did you learn playing
the piano so well? My teacher,
Lilia Mikhailovna,
was giving me lessons.
At school? No, at the children
s home. What? I am an orphan.
So what? Nothing.
So, you've got no one?
Why? I wasn't alone
there. I've got friends.
I see. Come see us
tomorrow if you want.
Well they won't let me go. Tell my
dad. He will make sure they let you go.
What will I tell him? What, they don
t ever give you permission to leave?
Sometimes they do. One guy
was allowed to spend time
with his mother and
sister who came to see him.
I will say that I m
your sister then!
But I'm an orphan
- Oh, sorry.
Would they let you
see your fiancee?
Meaning you? Why not? If you want
Why are you looking at me like that?
I can't play jokes like
that. Don't play jokes.
They won't believe
me. Why? Because!
Why won't they believe
you? Go ahead and tell me!
Why won't they
believe? Because!
Why? Because because we never
even kissed! Is this necessary?
Yes, it is! That's how it works.
Or are you scared? Why? No.
Yes. No. Please, go ahead.
Looks like you got scared! I
don't want it to be like this.
Like this? It s not a joking
matter. All right, let s do it for real.
You re so foolish. Me?
No. I'm a straight-A student.
I'll be honest with you. I
always wanted to have someone.
And so? I'm being serious.
Won't you change your
mind later? About what?
About what we've been
discussing just now
Am I a little girl? Wait! I will be taking
care of you. You will be taking care?
What if you don't get
permission to leave?
How will you be taking care of me? I'll
be thinking about you. That's something!
May I? Yes. You may do it starting today.
You may start thinking about me right now.
That's at mine. Wait,
I'll come with you.
You can't go any further.
When will I see you again?
I'll come. Just please don't change
your mind. I promised I wouldn't.
Okay.
Wait! What is it?
We forgot the most
important thing. Which one?
The kiss. Isn't it
necessary? Yes.
There you go. Alright.
Wait! What s your name?
Pasha. Pavel. What s yours?
Alevtina. But you have to call me Alya.
Good. Okay. Bye, Pavel.
Alya! Alechka! Alya,
it s Aunt Valya.
Oh, Alechka. What is it?
Where is Maryana? She s at the hospital.
They say a lot of firefighters got hurt.
Yeah. Well they have all been sent
to Moscow. There s no one there.
Why would Maryana go to Moscow?
What s the matter, Aunt Valya?
My son in law came from Borispol, he
took all the injured people to the airport,
and he says that there was a
young female doctor, pretty,
not from around
here named Maryana
What about her? Right in front
of the plane She fainted. She fell?
Yes. And blood came from
her nose. Why blood?
She became sick. From those
who were brought from the plant.
I don't understand it.
What is she sick with?
Atoms, radiation it s in the air
Everyone is getting
sick now. My god.
Kubok, I am 24-200-5, the mission
is complete. We are landing now.
Comrade major. What
is it? Check this out.
♪ Don't be sad, my
rotor-driven friend ♪
♪ That there aren't
beautiful songs about us ♪
♪ I promise to write
a song about you ♪
♪ Just whistle me a
tune with your rotors ♪
How d you like it?
It s bearable.
You don't know the first thing
about lyrics, comrade major!
I don't like this?
It sounds good to me.
Kuzin, it s excellent lyrics.
I don't like this lull.
I don't understand why they
ordered to stop burying the reactor.
Our superiors know better.
You think so? Hell yes.
Here they come. I bet they'll
start delivering presents now.
Put the guitar aside.
You re no pop singer.
Knock it off, Nikolai. I've just
got a call from the headquarters.
They re thinking
evacuation. The whole city.
Excuse me, where can I find
Maryana Nikolaevna, a doctor?
Sergei Alexeevich might know. Go straight
through the corridor, then turn right.
Hello. I know you.
You re Alya, right? Yes.
What happened to my sister?
Excuse me, I'm exhausted.
The X-ray room is the safest
place now in the hospital.
What s with my sister?
- Yes, yes. Maryana Nikolaevna.
She s got signs of
radiation sickness.
What does it mean? Is it dangerous?
I don't think toy should be concerned.
Her contacts with the sick
people were rather brief.
Sergei Alexeevich.
Switch the radio on!
Due to an accident at the Chornobyl
Power Plant unfavorable climate
is shaping up in the city of Pripyat.
Temporary evacuation is required.
