- Hi.

- Tell me what the hell's going on?

- Let's go over there and I'll explain.

So. What's happening?

Like... my dad found the money...

And I thought it didn't make

any difference to you.

What doesn't make

any difference to me?

You don't have any parents.

I mean, your mom's in the States.

What doesn't make

any difference to me?

Like... I told dad

that it was your money.

- That you did what I did.

- You said that I did it?

Yeah, you know. If my dad

had known, he would have killed me!

- You've got a screw loose!

- What difference does it make to you?!

- You're moving to the States...

- I thought you were my friend!

- Then you say things like that!

- Natasha...

Let's go... Come on.

I don't need your money.

Keep your money! Whore!

LILYA:

Guys, let's have fun.

It's our little whore!

F***ing slut! What you doing here?

Get the f*** out of here. You rat!

You selling yourself to kids?

- Forget them. Let's go.

- That's just what I'm doing.

C*nt! What're you doing there?

Come here!

- How's business?

- The little guy, is he a new client?

- Let's go.

- I'm not finished yet.

She's a dumb ass, she doesn't get it...

- Come, let's get out of here.

- I haven't finished writing yet.

Get out of our yard,

we don't wanna see your face!

LILYA4-EVER

Now, I'm done. Let's go...

Stay there!

Where the hell are you going?!

You f***ing piece of trash,

go slit your throat, you c*nt!

- You won't eat anything warm today.

- What?

- The Electricity Board cut you off.

- What?!

Damn...

Anna!

- No one's there. Your aunt has moved.

- She's moved?

Yes. My God, you've grown.

- I remember when you were this small.

- What? Where's she moved?

Open up, I know you're in there!

How are you? You happy here?

I'm an old and sick woman.

I need a comfortable home.

You understand?

- Have you spoken to mom?

- No.

- Has she written or called?

- She hasn't written or called.

Let me watch TV in peace...

- I don't have any money.

- Neither do I.

They've cut off the electricity

and I've got nothing to eat.

- Get a job.

- How can I, I'm in school?

So, do what your mother did.

Go into town and spread your legs.

Now leave me in peace.

Shut the doorl

- You know what?

- What?

I read in a magazine-

- about when different stars are born.

I'm born the same day as Britney Spears.

- Really?

- Yeah... but four years apart.

- But you have the same birthday?

- Yeah...

Imagine if you were mixed up in hospital,

then you'd be Britney Spears.

But we're not born in the same year

and she lives in the States.

But think how cool it would have been...

Yeah, sure...

- You know when my birthday is?

- No.

- Today.

- Really?

- You're not kidding?

- No...

- Congratulations!

- Thanks.

Did you get any presents?

I promise I'll get you a nice present.

I swear... But not today.

I didn't know it was your birthday

and I've got no money.

- But you'll get a real present from me.

- You don't have to.

Yeah, I'm giving you a present.

- Are you going to school?

- No... and you?

No.

- What you gonna do?

- I have to do laundry.

I've got no clean clothes.

But I don't have any washing powder.

I don't know.

Look...

- Shall we try some?

- Volodya, stop it.

- Let's try them.

- Volodya, you can't...

Volodya, put it back. Don't touch it.

Put it away.

Volodya! Stop it!

Did you swallow them?

Volodya, did you swallow them?

What is it?

What is it? Volodya!

Don't leave! Volodya... Volodya!

Don't die, please, Volodya!

A kiss?

I must have been in heaven...

- I've turned into an angel.

- Get out, go to hell, you moron!

- Go to hell!

- Sorry...

Idiot! Get out!

- Get out!

- Sorry...

FOR SALE:

- Do you want to buy anything?

- There's nothing to buy here!

Hi...

Are you still angry?

Forgive me, I'll never do it again...

How's it going?

Have you sold anything?

Not a bloody thing. F***ing crap!

You do that again

and I'll really kill you!

- Shall we go to the Pentagon?

- The Pentagon?

- The submarine base.

- I know. What shall we do there?

I've got some glue there.

- I live there.

- You live there?

Well, when they throw me

out of the house.

My dad worked here.

He was in the army.

My mom also worked here.

- My mom worked in this kitchen.

- Your mother cooked food?

And your dad?

He was in the army

and came here for a little while...

He probably just wanted

to sleep with my mom.

Then she got pregnant

and he moved to Moscow.

She wrote to him, but he didn't answer.

I've never seen him.

Come on, I'm freezing.

"Speech given by the General

Secretary, Comrade Brezhnev..."

"Comrade members of the Central

Committee, comrade delegates..."

"Comrades. 50 years ago an event of

great historical importance took place."

"Prolonged and thundering applause.

Everyone stands up."

I live here. Look, this is my room.

See, I've got glue.

Take it.

I'm freezing...

We can build a hut.

What hut?

To get warm.

It's warmer, isn't it?

It's like lying in a coffin.

Let's pretend we're dead.

No, thanks...

What do you think happens

when someone dies?

Does he go to paradise,

to God and Jesus and all of that?

I don't know...

I believe that.

I think you become an angel in heaven.

You can play basketball all day long

and score as many points as you like.

And be a million times better

than Michael Jordan.

That's bullshit...

That's not the only thing

you can do there.

You can do what you like in paradise.

Dance, play computer games,

go to parties...

That's stupid. I'm not going to die,

I'm going to America.

I'd play basketball.

- Cut it out.

- What are you doing?

- I feel sick...

- Where you going?

Stop it...

I don't want to be here anymore.

I'm tired of this...

SUMMONS TO SOCIAL WELFARE

So you've had no contact with your

mother since she moved to America?

- No.

- And she hasn't called?

I don't have a telephone.

- She hasn't written?

- No.

We've received a letter from her.

Do you know anything about this?

No. Why?

In the letter she writes...

Of course it's not legally binding.

You can't formally do this...

But she writes

that she renounces her parenthood.

This means that she no longer wishes

to be your guardian.

Guardian? What are you talking about?

Look, I really feel sorry for you,

but here she writes...

I can read it to you.

"Lilya has always been

an unwanted child"-

- "and therefore

I no longer wish to be her guardian."

"I hereby hand her over

to the care of the Social Services."

It's awful, I understand...

It's awful.

And cigarettes, please.

That'll be 160,40.

Thanks.

- Close your eyes.

- What?

Close your eyes.

- What for?

- Please, close your eyes.

- What you going to do?

- Nothing special, just do it.

What you going to do?

Are you going to hit me?

- Don't be silly. Just close your eyes.

- You promise?

Lilya, where you going?

Keep them closed... Now you can look.

- There you are. For your birthday.

- Is it really for me?

- Take it!

- Really? You're kidding...
