There's a revolution

going on upstairs.

You'd think it was the first

baby to be born in the world.

Kitty must hate me.

Oh, I know she doesn't.

And she'd be so hurt

if you didn't go and see her.

Please, Anna.

Careful, careful. Young man, this is

not the first time I've had a baby.

Look who has come

to see you.

Anna. Aunt Anna.

Ivan.

She'll be fine, darling.

Run along now.

Dear, dolly asked me

to come to see you.

But if you'd rather I went away, you needn't

be afraid to say so. I'm quite used to it.

But Anna, konstantin and I have

you to thank for everything.

Look, isn't he wonderful?

No one's ever had such a baby.

Feel his weight.

Isn't he heavy?

Yes.

It's time, madam. Oh,

yes. Run along, children.

Outside, go and play.

Poor darling,

must be very hungry.

Will the gentlemen

please go over there?

Come along, konstantin.

All right. All right.

You're not too tired

after all these people?

Quiet, children.

Recreation is over.

Your tutor is waiting.

Why are you here? I think it's

you who owe me an explanation.

What do you mean? You had no need to

conceal from me that you'd seen your husband.

Now you are free to leave me as I know you

intend doing. You're completely overwrought.

You said yourself it was impossible

to go on living like this.

If you no longer love me, it would be more

honorable to say so. Why do you lie to me?

Anna, don't try my patience. I've

done everything you ever asked me.

And now you accuse me of telling lies and

being dishonorable. A man who reproaches me...

and tells me he's given up

everything for me is dishonorable.

Tell me what you want of me. I

want your love, but it is gone.

Anna, that's not true.

It's not true.

But if you're determined

to punish yourself,

there's nothing

i can do about it.

You'll be sorry.

"I have gone

to st. Petersburg,

and I shall return

within two days."

"I have gone to st. Petersburg,

and I shall return within two days."

But he will not.

He will never return.

It's over.

I shall never see him again.

He will marry

the sorokina girl.

His mother will force him to.

He will love her.

I will follow him

and punish him.

I will escape from him...

and from myself.

All these people.

All going somewhere.

Why do they trouble? You

can't escape from yourselves.

Sergei.

I thought I loved him.

It was myself

i really loved.

I exchanged him

for another love.

I could live without him.

How self-satisfied he looks.

He's ambitious.

So was alexey.

He was proud of me.

Now it is passed.

Nothing to be proud of anymore.

Why not turn out the lights...

when there's nothing more

to be seen?

What station is this? Klin, madame.

A few minutes to take in water.

Thank you.

Klin.

I must go out...

For a breath of air.

Ah, I loved him more and more.

Selfish.

He loved me less and less.

Freedom he wanted.

Nothing can change

either of us.

Too late.

Yes, too late.

Alexey.

Oh.

Not a word,

not a gesture of yours

shall I ever forget,

nor can i.

Klin.

I met him here...

long, long ago.

It was snowing.

Jean Anouilh

Jean Marie Lucien Pierre Anouilh (French: [ʒɑ̃ anuj]; 23 June 1910 – 3 October 1987) was a French dramatist whose career spanned five decades. Though his work ranged from high drama to absurdist farce, Anouilh is best known for his 1944 play Antigone, an adaptation of Sophocles' classical drama, that was seen as an attack on Marshal Pétain's Vichy government. One of France's most prolific writers after World War II, much of Anouilh's work deals with themes of maintaining integrity in a world of moral compromise. more…
