In Tranzit Page #3

Synopsis: In the winter of 1946, in Leningrad, a group of German prisoners of war are sent to a female transit camp by the cruel Russian Commander Pavlov. When they arrive, the Russian female soldiers show the hostility to the enemies that have killed their husbands, families and friends; only Dr. Natalia and the cook treat the prisoners with dignity. Natalia has an agreement with Commander Pavlov to keep her former lover, who was wounded on the head during the war and is slow, in the camp instead of sending him to an institution in Siberia. Pavlov assigns Natalia to disclose members of the SS infiltrated in the group of prisoners. Natalia and the prisoner Max feel a great attraction for each other while the prisoner Klaus tries to convince Max to denounce a couple of prisoners to satisfy the Russian. Natalia convinces the businessman Yakov to organize an orchestra with the prisoners; they are invited to play in a ball, where the lonely women that survived the war dance with the Germans. After t

Do you really think

I'm a killer of children?

I don't know what to

think any more.

And what about Klaus Prompst?

Is he a war criminal?

Ask him yourself.

Zina?

Zina, where the hell are you?

Zina!

Natalia!

Sugar!

And potatoes!

We will be arrested!

Hung!

What are you talking about?

Come.

Come.

I had a delivery two days ago.

And it's vanished into thin air!

Look, see?

This. That's it! And here.

Pavlov will have me shot!

Do you know anything about this?

It's you!

You thieving little...

Zina, what's wrong?

Nothing. I'm pregnant.

You f***ing whore!

I still have to report it.

Absolutely not, no.

But Olga and Elena have to know.

What do we have to know?

I'll take care of it.

Okay.

Well?

As your superior,

I order you to tell me.

Why, just so you can run off

and inform Pavlov?

What?

You really want to know

who the rat is?

Here.

It's number eight.

You may recognise the handwriting.

The doctor is a spy.

She's working for the Nazis.

Against the Soviet state.

And she's poisoning me with pills.

Andrei!

No. No.

But he doesn't know

what he's doing.

Maybe.

But if I told Pavlov that...

...he would have

him removed, right?

Oh, no.

Andrei?

Someone has been trying to

send false reports to Pavlov.

It could get me a lot of trouble.

No! No.

Look.

Look.

Do you remember this?

Look. We loved to dance.

Do you see?

Andrei.

Andrei.

It has to stop!

Can they play?

Some of them can.

Comrade Pavlov.

You know,

it's early so it won't be difficult.

No.

Zina, you can't have the baby.

I won't kill it!

We have each other -

We love each other.

What else matters?

Boyfriend.

Stand up!

Stand up!

This is what happens to

prisoners who steal food.

Zinotchka!

Natalia, you can do something.

Help me! Help me! Please.

Please.

Comrade Pavlov...

...may I have a word?

I think I know where

the missing food might be.

Where?

Come with me, if you will.

Where are the keys?

The keys?

Should I search for stolen potatoes

these uniforms, Comrade?

Excuse me.

Arrest her! She's a collaborator!

Arrest her! She's a collaborator!

Comrade Pavlov...

...I have long suspected Corporal

Tyurina of deviant behaviour.

What?

On many occasions she has

mysteriously disappeared...

...and behaved erratically

on her return.

Stop it!

Sergeant!

Comrade Pavlov,

I can explain. It wasn't me!

I'm a good communist...

Take her to the truck.

Well done, Comrade.

This proves the German is innocent.

Yes, possibly.

Though I'm sure

he's guilty of something else, no?

Apparently,

the man we're searching for...

...went to Berlin University

in the Engineering Department.

What are you suggesting I do?

Comrade...

...we've seen you informing

on Soviets.

Why don't you try your hand

at Germans?

Comrade, perhaps the Chief

of Leningrad's NKVD...

...could spare the time to attend...

...our musical celebration

at the weekend?

Your attendance would be very, er...

...helpful.

Yakov's such a dreamer.

He's certain to invite the Germans.

An opportunity

we should not miss.

Make sure we have some of

our best people there.

F***.

Bastard f***.

F*** bastard.

Tamara...

No!

Everybody outside!

Now, move!

Take off your clothes!

I said...

...take off your clothes!

They're going to kill us.

Where's the doctor?

And Captain Alexandrova?

Everything!

This way!

Inside!

They're going to gas us.

Right, find something that fits.

You're going to the dance tonight.

Not only the musicians but all of you!

Please.

Please.

Whoa!

Where are the clothes from?

Why?

Does it bother you?

That's it.

Trousers.

Naughty.

It's yours.

There's a pair of brown trousers here.

Trousers, anyone?

Don't think of them as your enemy.

They're here to be entertained.

They want you to play well.

So, play well!

They'll kill us before

we play a single note.

The way you play, Ernst -

that will be a blessing!

It's time, gentlemen.

Let's go. Now!

Immediately, right now.

Let's go, now. Let's go!

Ivan?

Ivan?

Ivan?

Don't you dare stop!

Ivan!

Ivan, there you are!

I've been looking all

over looking all over for you!

Have the Germans arrived?

Yes.

Shall I bring them in?

No.

Don't worry, I'll do it.

Relax!

What can go wrong?

Everything can go wrong, Ivan!

In you come, in you come.

Quick as you can!

Come on. Come on, come on.

Take your positions!

Positions!

Quick, quick, play. Play, play, play.

May I have the pleasure?

I think I know

the man you're looking for.

Yes.

This is our last dance!

So, everyone, please join in!

You're a wonderful dancer, doctor.

Oh, such good manners.

Tell me, do Germans learn this

at University...

...or is this a typical Aryan trait?

I didn't go to University.

Not now, Anton.

Let's not spoil the party.

Andrei?

Andrei?

Andrei, no!

Put it away.

Put it away.

Okay. Open the door.

Come on.

Goodnight.

Natalia...

...he's younger than me.

Lucky you.

- He says...

- Bye. See you again.

What?

He says I'm the first girl

he ever cared for.

And do you believe him?

I don't know.

But I do know that

I don't want to be alone.

Goodbye.

Then follow your heart.

See you later.

What shall we do?

What about Olga?

Oh, f*** Olga!

And f*** Pavlov, too!

Andrei, open the gate.

Go on, Andrei, open it!

And make sure you have them

back here by dawn.

Lucky bastards!

Max.

Oh, no.

What?

What?

Here's your suicide note.

You have been upsetting me, Max.

You lost your faith.

You sympathised with the enemy.

But I'm making sure

you're not dishonoured.

Your family will be proud of you.

Germany, too.

Close your eyes again, Max.

You're already dead.

No!

Jesus Christ it's cold.

Did you know him?

Yes.

From University?

He was my student.

Do you know

what he did during the war?

No.

When the war started

I lost touch of him.

Of course.

He was notorious.

Even by SS standards.

Well, Comrade,

you are a true Soviet.

I was worried you might be

lost in your mission.

Mission?

What are you doing?

Andrei is being relieved of

his duties.

I thought we had a deal?

We did have a deal. Now it's over.

Take me instead.

This is better.

Natalia.

Pavlov's been on the phone.

Stalin's made yet another new

agreement with the Allies.

We're sending all

the Germans back home.

What?

Trucks will be arriving at

We only have a few hours.

Come on!

How many are missing?

About a dozen.

Don't worry, we'll find them.

When they hear they're going home,

they'll come running.

Get dressed.

You're going back home!

No.

No, it's not possible.

It's more than possible!

Get back to the camp now!

All aboard!
