"My heart is waiting there."
(Singing) "When the battle is won I will come back to you."
"I'm riding a wayward stallion."
Hooray!
- What are we waiting for? - The communication delay.
All right, ladies, come here!
So many of you!
- Give me some water, brunette! - Take it yourself.
- Hello, boys. - Good day, Sir.
Oh, come on! Let's go!
- Hello, boys. - Hello, Sir.
- Hello, young man. - Hello, Sir.
- Take care of yourself, darling! - Thanks.
All jokes aside, maybe some of you are real.
- Our girls are pretty plentiful. - Actually, there's no problem here with women.
There is only one old man for every 40 households.
- I wish I could stay here! - Thief!
Little punk!
I went away for a moment and looked away.
Stop yelling. You know they're hungry.
He goes around with the crook. I can't feed them all.
Eat. Here you go!
Oh my God, that's too much!
- Where are you from, little rascal? - Nowhere.
Take me with you. Only two stations away.
- Let's go! - Everyone on the train!
(Singing) "Don't bother me, Marya. I'm begging you."
"I've been bothered all week."
"Hey, friends, what are you doing?"
"I loved him. you stole him. I did not!"
You said you wanted to go after two stations.
This is the sixth.
If I told you the truth you wouldn't have taken me.
You're right!
I'll go at the next station.
- He's not stupid. - Exactly.
Oh okay, never mind! You can continue with us if you want.
(Singing) "I wore out my shoes. Walking this way."
"I'm gonna find a new pair..."
My family is big. According to order of seniority:
Panteleimon Lukich and Maria Trofimovna. My parents.
- Then Zoya. my wife. - Very nice.
Here are my sisters: Darya. Lyudmila. Natalia.
Here is my eldest son, Sergey. And the little one, Dmitry.
- That's my daughter. - Great.
Is that too hot for you?
No, the bread really made me thirsty.
It would be better with sugar.
For Vienna. I know that one.
Is this for Berlin?
- For Budapest. - I understand.
- What is your name? - Fyodor.
- Me too! - Could well be so.
It is so. Truly.
My father's name was Vasily.
Do you not have a mother?
Only my aunt. She's a good person, but lives far away.
- Are you going to see her? - Yeah.
When I get home, I really do have to fix these bellows.
Comrades! I congratulate you on your great victory!
The truth is: we won!
Thanks. Why so much?
- We don't need it. - Thank you.
- It's very heavy! - It won't hurt you.
- Take care! - Thanks.
- Take care, Fyodor.
Have fun, soldier. The war's over!
- Well, this is it. - Thanks for the ride.
- You're staying with your aunt? - A-ha.
- Can you find the way? - Of course. Shevchenko, down the street.
Then go back to Pope. Then down the street from Komsomolsky.
It's the third house.
Have a nice trip. I hope your folks are well.
- Bye. - See you.
Look out, guys, we're going!
- Hey, brother, jump on! - Are you staying, Fyodor?
Fyodor!
- Why did you hit the dog? - It's his fault.
Who are you? This is our place. We've always played here.
- This is our house! - Do you want me to kick your arse?
Let him have it!
Hey, hey, stop it! What's wrong with you?
- Fyodor! - Hi, Nikanorych.
Thank God you're alive.
- Is that Arseniy? - Yeah.
He's grown so much. Come on, introduce yourself.
- How are things? - Well, here I am.
- Where did you find him? - Where did I find him!
He's a purebred dog. He could have been as big as a bull.
- Why isn't he then? - Why isn't he?
If you had to feed him You'd never grow big yourself.
- Oh my god! Hey, Fyodor. - Hello.
Welcome, Fyodor!
What are we waiting for? Let's go. You can stay with me right now.
Or maybe at my home.
Thank you, friends. But I came back to stay in my own house.
(Singing) "Hey, comrade, only 30 minutes left. We're going to attack soon."
"Just time to smoke a cigarette"
"Before the war begins"
"And maybe we can talk about love"
"And dream a little."
"And maybe we can talk about love And dream a little."
Well, let's make a start.
- Why are you in such a hurry? - I was in line.
- Where? - Behind that woman there.
Let him go. There's no one else before you.
A little sugar, please. How much can I get with this?
- From the cubes? Balls, of course! Nobody wants cubes. They're a rip-off.
- Next.
Fyodor, there's someone looking for you!
- Borscht? - Hello. Borscht, yes.
This is really good. Delicious.
And a little bread. Today the grain was allocated.
And some vitamins for dessert.
- Where did you get those? - I know a place.
They grow there like weeds.
Catch it.... Don't stop there!
- Wait for me.,guys! - Catch!
- I'm gonna get an apple! - But they are still green!
- How about cucumbers? - Let's get some carrots!
Let's go!
Hey lady, stop it!
- Next time! - Why are you so angry?
None of your business!
- What are you looking at? - Is it against the law?
You're too young to look at men like that.
You're too old! And your moustache makes you look like a cockroach!
I'll get you!
Next time, come together.
Just let me know when. I'il be ready for you!
- Stork girl! Stork girl! - Get lost!
Stork girl! Stork girl!
I don't think she has anyone.
Fyodor, don't be too tough on me.
I've lost all our food cards.
- How? - How do these things get lost? That's how it went.
Why did you get them anyway? I was responsible for the food.
After work I thought I'd go to the store.
- You lost them all? - All of them.
What will we do now?
Don't worry, Fyodor. We'll find something.
It feels good!
Oh you!
Why are you laughing so much today, my friend?
- What have you been doing? I was expecting you. - Oh, nothing. I was busy.
- We'll be late for a walk. - We'll start it on time.
By the way, what is that smell?
Jesus Christ!
Where'd you get it?
- Let's make some broth. - What? - Chicken broth.
- Chicken juice - you're kind of weird! - Exactly.
- It needs a little salt. - Here it is.
- A nice piece of wing, isn't it? - Uh-huh.
The knife goes right through it. It's so hot.
- So where did you get it? - I 'borrowed' it from a neighbour.
- What does that mean? - A little debt.
As though we could give her something back for the chicken.
True. I told her we'd pay.
As soon as possible... Honestly!
Did you steal?
You need some meat.
I'm a working man. Can't you see?
Throw that filthy thing away.
I admit it. It's gone.
- We're working men. - I didn't realise.
- Are we going out for a walk? - We'll go out.
There is an interesting article on page 23.
You should definitely read it. It's excellent.
- Hello, Fyodor. - Hello friends!
Hello, Fyodor.
We have some time.
Should we wander around, or watch a movie?
Always walking at this hour, and talking.
Like the clock, you know.
- Let me. - OK.
Fyodor! One, please. Come here. Can you hear me?
Here you are.
- What about you? - I don't want one.
What's the problem?
12 rubles would've been better spent...
...on some potatoes instead. - How practical is that!
Kolya, come here!
What's going on, guys?
Katya, what has happened?
Katya! Katya!
What's the matter, Fyodor?
My father - When he was killed, he was in a tank crew.
(News Voiceover) "With the currency reform..."
"...from 16 December 1947..."
"...the controlled distribution of goods..."
"...was officially removed..."
"...for the benefit of the people."
No more food records!
No ration cards!
Hey guys, no more ration cards!
- Look how high she is! - Stork girl!
Stork girl! Stork girl!
- The apples are good! - Potatoes and cucumbers!
- The carrots aren't bad either!
Out!
(Singing) "You see, the birds are still flying."
"The city lives. And the creeks run furiously."
"Now we compose Our first songs."
"Without the beauty of our hearts..."
"...We only knew sleepless nights."
"How we lived In the days between."
"How we cried When no one was looking..."
- You were playing football? - I slipped while I was playing.
Listen, Fyodor. Look around without getting anyone's attention.
Around here is the most beautiful woman in the world. Which one is it? Tell me.
She's it.
How about those with shoes? Don't point with your finger!
- That's the stork girl! She's not a woman. - Really?
Then what is she?
- That's ridiculous. - Fyodor, come here!
I'll be right back.
Don't. Get down. You'll fall.
- Sit down!
The sun is so bright, it's burning my eyes.
- Have you ever looked straight at the Moon? - Of course. Why do you ask?
- Don't do it anymore. - Why not?
Sasha says it turns you into someone else - Makes you fall in love.
How so?
(Singing) "Our streets will bloom again."
"The nightingales will not be silent..."
"A fresh Spring came to the city."
"Spring has returned."
- Come on. Let's go to the dance. - But we were gonna watch a movie.
I want music! Let's listen to Semenych's songs.
I want to go...
Oh, come on! It'll be fun.
- I'll get you dance classes when you grow up. - What for?
You might need them some day.
Wait here. I'll be right back.
- Hi, Fyodor! - Hey, Stepan! I'm sorry, I must go.
- Semenych! - Hi, Fyodor!
Let me ask you something.
I'm courting a girl...
Shh!
Stop for one moment.
But of course! You've got it.
Enough.
Are we ready?
- Would you like to dance? - I'm tired.
Would you like to dance?
- Hello. - Hello.
- My name is Fyodor. - Mine is Natasha.
- Shall we Dance? - Sure.
- I'm a little rusty. - You'll pick it up!
Like that...
Let's take a walk. - Alright. The weather's nice.
- Let me introduce you. - We've met.
Sometimes I see them in my garden.
Then I chase them and they run for it.
Don't be mad at me!
I'm not angry. It's your right.
- I'll give you a basket of apples. - I accept your offer!
Come on now.
Go and watch a movie. Okay?
- What about you? - I will come later on.
See you later.
Fyodor!
- Fyodor! Fyodor! - Yeah?
Come home!
What are you doing?
- What? - I wanted to tell you something.
Well?
- I forgot. I'll remember in the morning. - You're a strange one!
Wait! Is this clean?
- I'll be late! - Don't worry. You've still got two minutes.
We'll watch a movie tonight.
- "His name is Arshin Mal." - Can Arseniy join us?
We'll see.
What's wrong, lad?
You see, Fyodor. Something happened.
I love her.
I just fell in love with her, that's all.
I want her to live here -
- With us. What do you say?
Fyodor. What about it?
Does it matter what I say? Well, I don't care.
Well done!
Don't worry, Fyodor!
The three of us will be happier together.
We shall live well. You'll see. Fyodor?
Why are you looking that way?
Oh, this has stopped.
You understand, Fyodor. I really couldn't escape.
It's really important, you understand? How can I explain, Fyodor?
There's no need to explain.
It's the last time we go for a walk together.
Stay here, don't worry. I'll walk on my own.
Don't be like that. Okay?
Why do you eat that? It's cold.
It's fine, Fyodor.
I love Borscht cold.
Stop for a moment, Fyodor.
Fyodor, this way it will be better.
Okay, let her come!
- Would you like some? - Thank you.
- Why don't you eat something? - What about you?
I'll have some too. Come on, Pirate.
Please yourself.
Kiss the bride!
- Enough brothers. - Kiss the bride!
Kiss the bride!
(Singing) "Before the war begins...
"Let us speak of love..."
(Gramophone) "Our soldiers under fire."
"He bravely went on."
"He was in a burning tank."
"He was on fire. But he didn't burn."
"Hey you, bird wing"
"Hey you, my hometown. You're so sweet!"
"My dove, my love..."
Time to hit the straw, my friend.
How does it feel? Such a nice bed. Go on, sleep.
What?
Why did you shave off your pretty moustache?
Go to sleep. It'll grow out again. Just as before.
Sleep!
Goodnight. Goodnight.
(Gramophone) "Soldier in many battles How he progressed to Berlin..."
"It's time to sing our song."
Fyodor, what are you doing?
- Fyodor! - Well, take care.
Goodbye, Fyodor.
- What does it mean for you? - Not much.
They don't need me.
I'm going to live with my aunt in Siberia.
My aunt is a good person.
Winter is almost here. Wait!
Come over to ours.
Do you go to school tomorrow?
- We do. - Go to bed, then. It's nine o'clock.
Go home Fyodor. Arseniy will clean up.
Uncle Ivan. Can I stay here tonight?
We have to finish our plane.
Neither of us could sleep much anyway.
We really need to finish the plane
because the fair is approaching.
Okay then. But isn't the plane completed?
We've constructed it.
But it's not totally ready.
That's right, Uncle Ivan!
It's not completely finished.
We have to finish by tomorrow morning.
It must be painted.
Okay, you can stay. But tell your family.
Not necessary. There's no one to tell.
Fyodor is working all tonight.
Okay, you can stay.
Let me!
Something's happening in that house.
I need to talk to Fyodor.
Both of them are good people. What's wrong with the boy? I don't understand.
- Would you like some tea? - Yeah. - Natasha's nice.
She's so skinny!
- Nice hair. - Who cares about that?
What do you mean? Hair is important.
She works her magic with her hair!
If you had hair like hers I'd want to marry you at once!
Can you drink tea?
Fyodor!
Fyodor, are you sleeping?
Why are you acting this way?
I know you're awake.
Why are you lashing out at me?
You want me to go?
When I love both of you, where could I go?
It's stupid.
How could I live without you? I can not do it.
It's like a war.
We can't even talk properly.
Maybe it's my fault too.
When Fyodor returns, the three of us will talk.
We can't fight. We cannot.
Sleep now and don't say anything. Okay?
- Good Morning! - Good Morning.
What are you doing, comrade? Shake a leg.
- One second. - How are you. Natasha? - I am ready!
Natasha dear, hurry!
There.
Fyodor, your shoes. You forgot to polish them!
Shine them.
Oh, damn it. We must hurry up. Let's not waste time.
Did someone get up on the wrong side of the bed?
- I'm always ironing. - So, you're busy.
- What is this? - Do you like it?
- What happened? - It makes things easier.
What?
- Wait, Fyodor. Let me explain. - Fyodor.
- What have you done? - Fyodor!
You idiot!
(Tannoy) Train no. 14, Next.
- Good bye for now. - See you.
- Don't act like a novice. - Of course not... - You too.
Don't you want to stay?
- Winter's coming. - I gotta go. Now.
Okay, let me help you.
Okay, let's eat.
Natasha!
Were you cleaning?
- What is it? - The satchel - Did you move it. - No.
Well.
- Where are you going? - Mealtime will have to wait a moment.
I'm going to have a word with Nikanorych.
- Nikanorych. Wait a second. - Hello there.
- Is your boy home? - No! What's happened?
- Nothing. - He's in school. Arseniy told me.
They're having an exhibition. They're showing the planes.
- Dmitri, give me the ball! - Come on, Dmitri!
Mikhail, go home.
- Well? - What do you want from me?
- Where's Fyodor? - I don't know.
- Arseniy, where's Fyodor? - I have no idea.
- Where's Fyodor, tell me? - I won't.
He went to Siberia. His aunt lives there.
There is no aunt! It's a lie!
My son is missing. Blond.
Short. Slightly snub-nosed.
He says he's going to his aunt.
Lieutenant Yevchenko. Go ahead.
I understand. I understand.
OK.
- Last name? - Karpenyuk.
Fyodor Karpenyuk.
- Little Fyodor, right? - Have you seen him?
I've heard of him.
You know, the people call you "the Two Fyodors".
He said he was going to see his aunt. It's not true. He doesn't have an aunt.
Don't you worry. We'll take care of it.
(Tannoy) Tank wagon on track 15 ...
(Tannoy) Attention, signal officers!
Send personnel to platform 10.
No documents. Track 10. Hurry...
(Tannoy announcements continue)
Your boy's at the construction site.
What are you doing, brother? Get up.
What are you doing here?
Come on, let's go home.
THE END
