- Buy it!

Buy it, Kiir.

- I don't want that.

Visak, buy it.

Shines like Judas!

No way.

- It's solid gold.

Pure pinchbeck.

- You're the pinchbeck!

Lesta, tell me a nice name for a boy.

But not Estonian.

Pick one from the bible,

Abraham, lsaac... - No!

Two new boys came to school!

Where are you from?

- Tukre.

Tukre?

I have relatives there.

What is your name?

- Jri Kuslap.

Let's help them carry the bed inside.

Buy it! Pure metal!

- I don't want to.

What is that?

- A kantele.

Do you play?

- I sure do.

Let's go inside.

What's your name?

- I melik (Strange).

What is strange?

- My name.

A strange name.

- That's what it is.

Hurry up.

Sit.

Well, isn't that something!

Play.

Forward, boys of Kentucky!

- I give up!

Joosep,

tell me a nice name for a boy.

No way

I am going to tell you that!

Joosep, wait up!

Wait!

Why can't you tell me?

- You see, Jorh,

I will give that name

to my firstborn son.

Your son?

When will that happen?

One of these days anyway.

He sure will be born.

I'll give you two apples for it.

- Two?

Three.

- Fool! Six apples!

Then we'll see.

- What is there to see?

I'll decide when I see the apples

whether to tell you.

Then you will have to tell.

- Alright then.

Play a polka.

- Play a walz!

Polka is better.

- Play a Reilender.

You call that an apple?

It's way too small.

Stop it.

Joosep, wait!

If it is such a great name,

we will invite you to the party.

The party?

I'll sure come to the party!

Do they have brawn as well?

Sure! Brawn, sausage,

roast beef, everything.

And raisin-bread?

- Plenty.

Tell them to put a lot of raisins

in the bread.

Otherwise you'd have to poke around

for them with a knife like a fool.

They will put so many raisins you

won't even see the bread. Tell me.

Right. Let's go.

Toots!

You know what, Kiir,

I actually have two names.

The first one is really nice...

It is Kolumbus.

- Kolumbus?

I know that one.

- So what if you do?

But the other one...

The other name...

It is...

Krisostomus.

Kri.. Krisos... Kri...

What?

- Krisostomus!

Krisostomus!

I melik, play a polka,

I'll take Tali's bride for a dance.

Let me go!

Toots, don't!

Toots, let go of me!

Let me go!

Why did Toots drag you around?

- He asked me to dance.

Where did Toots go?

Stay here.

Good gracious! I ran

straight into the churchwarden!

His lip was split!

I got a bump

on my head like a horn.

Sit.

Where did Toots go?

Can I finally get an answer?

Peterson, where is Toots?

I don't know anything.

I was in the sleeping chamber.

There you are!

Come right out!

I'll get you!

Out of my way!

I want to have a few words

with this horrible creature.

Teele!

Teele, don't take it to heart.

I would have come to help, but...

- Get lost!

Well, come on then.

Look at this.

- Hi.

Hello.

- Hi, there.

How did you get here?

Take a seat.

Are you angry with me?

No. - Come here.

I melik will play his kantele...

Papa!

Out of my way!

All these colourful labels!

Why are they so high up?

So they are out of reach for...

- Who?

You never know,

who may come.

Some of these bottles

are really expensive.

This one over there.

"Lati Pac".

It costs two roubles.

Yes...

But what does "Lati Pac" mean?

Probably the name of the wine.

No. "Lati" is French for "really"

and "pac" means "sweet".

Really sweet.

You shouldn't! - There are lots

of things one shouldn't do,

but are done nonetheless.

And just one!

Joosep.

T ake one from this side,

these are cheaper.

I busted my spine!

- Get down, you'll break in half.

Stroke my right leg.

The damn thing twitches.

Don't tickle me, you jerk.

What should I do then?

- Wait.

Here you go.

So, what will the little one's name be?

Right, certainly...

Kolumbus Krisostomus.

What? Kolumb...gri?

No, not Gri.

Kolumbus Krisostomus.

Here.

- Right. Kolumbus Krisostomus.

Now I get it.

But, see...

Kolumbus was a family name

and Krisostomus is

a very old and strange name.

It is not proper

and it won't do at all.

I see, it won't do?

Maybe your wife

happens to know another name?

So it won't do?

- No.

Goddammit!

Katariine Rosalie!

Jorh, get up, they are singing!

Let's go inside.

Let's go. On your feet!

Don't want to...

There's no way

this one's going to move...

I baptize thee

Bruno Benno Bernhard.

Bruno Benno Bernhard? What

about Kolumbus Krisostomus?

You little devil!

- Damn!

Papa!

What are you doing?

- Math for tomorrow.

Is I melik...

- He's not here.

Don't show

these exercises to lmelik.

Let him do them by himself.

- He can't.

If you show them to lmelik,

I'll hit you.

You won't show, will you?

- I will!

Let go!

- Not until you promise,

that you won't show them to I melik.

You won't, will you?

- I will!

I'm going to hit you!

Tali! You're here as well?

Do you want some candy?

Take it.

Hey, Tiugu!

What are you doing in the corner?

Here.

Did you have a fight with Tali?

Whatever, now it's over.

Come here and make up.

Let's all eat candy together.

Here!

What did you do that for?

Because you copy

your homework from Kuslap!

It's none of your business.

I'll tell the teacher

and you will be kicked out!

So what, if they do.

I'll just take my kantele

and Tiugu and life goes on.

What did I ever do to you?

You haven't done anything...

The Tukre guys are here already,

although from afar.

Those who have a long way,

always come first.

Hello...

Boy, do you have an appetite!

The last time I ate, it was midday,

now it's already evening.

Tiugu, cook something.

It would be nice

if we could make soup here.

Buy a pot or a sauce-pan

and start cooking.

Cook some raisin soup.

That's good.

Raisin soup? What is that?

Boil some milk,

add the raisins,

boil some more...

And there you have it.

Do they add any salt?

Come now, who would

put salt into raisin soup?

So it's a tasteless slop.

What tune is that?

- Sleeping march.

Sleeping march?

You can put the lights out now.

Do it yourself,

don't bother the others.

What are you waiting for?

Lights out!

There is someone

behind the window.

Who?

- I don't know.

But he doesn't look human.

He's all red, eyes blinking.

Churchwarden, who else!

No, it's a...

- A ghost!

Help!

What the bloody hell are you

muttering there, jerk?

Don't go!

Oh, dear god,

now he'll get killed!

Behold your ghost.

It's Toots!

Who did you think it was, fools?

Toots, damn it!

Very funny, Toots!

- I thought it was a ghost.

What's that?

- A globe.

A globe.

Why is it red?

- What colour should it be?

I didn't have any blue paint.

Tomorrow I'll mark out the school

with a big cross,

then it's clear, where we live.

Paint the churchwarden's potato clamp.

- And the river.

And don't forget

the raft on the bottom.

And I'll paint you as well.

Do you have any idea

where I'm coming from?

Where could you have come from?

From a christening party

at Kiir's place.

The two of us drank two bottles

of wine that cost 2 roubles.
