That's how we earn our crust.
Do you know this song?
Colorful buttery

Fly away slowly

Hello.
Congratulations!
Welcome!

May I dance with your wife?
Dima!
Do you have no shame, people!
No one said anything!
NO one]
Shoot me!
Shoot me!
It happened revolution in our country.
It happened revolution in our country.
That's why we became refugee.
Please give us asylum visa.
Please give us asylum visa.
Because
their life are in danger.
NO!
Not their life! It's our life in
dangerous!
Granny, is it our life in danger
or theirs?
Our life!
God damn our President!
He was no good,
for the poor or for the rich!
All the hardship I endured in life
to earn some money.
I lost everything in one minute.
Excuse me! Take it!
For the chicken you loaned me.
Thanks a lot!
This isn't enough!
Without my chicken,
they'd have known you're not poor,
they'd have found your money and killed
you.
Okay, okay! Take it!
Stop!
Quickly!
Can you drive the car?
Yes, yes! I'll drive.
Come with us.
I despair for even the next hour
of this country.
No one said anything!
No OHM
Shoot me!
Death to the dictator!
I'm all wet.
Where are we going?
To Maria.
To my Maria?
No, to my Maria.
Maria!
Where are you, Maria?
It's my turn.
What does "It's my turn" mean?
Look! How wet you got!
Take this off, too.
Come on.
Do you remember me?
Don't you remember being kids at the lake?
Listen! It's very dangerous here!
It's my turn now.
Get out, you bastard!
Get out!
What do you want from me?
What are you looking at? Get out!
I'm fed up!
You don't want a guest?
Leave me alone!
Didn't you see those bastard soldiers?
F***ed me one by one.
And didn't pay.
One of them put his gun between my legs.
and said.
"Shall I shoot you cash?
Or you put it on my account?"
People are going backwards.
I don't want to do anything.
I'm tired.
Get out. Go away!
H's ma.
I'm fine.
Listen!
In two days.
Where we were supposed to meet.
Stand behind the curtain.
Don't turn around and don't listen.
I know you.
Do you want me
to tell you
your life story?
When you were 14 years old.
You fell in love with a 30-year-old man.
I've loved many men
but they were here just for
one-night-stands.
Nobody loves a prostitute.
These past 20 years,
the whole country has had my body.
Even the President.
The President?
When he was young.
Before he became someone for himself.
Really? Where is the President right now?
He's on the run.
There's a bounty on his head.
How much?
The price keeps getting higher and higher.
500 thousand... I don't know.
If you knew where he was.
Would you give him up?
If I was going to make money like that,
I wouldn't have needed to sell my body.
Why are you asking this?
Are you a policeman?
NO.
Then get out of here!
Can't you see I have my period?
Get out.
He was a coward, like his soldiers.
When my sister got arrested.
I wrote him hundreds of letters,
but he didn't reply to even one.
My sister died in prison.
I didn't receive even one letter from you.
Dachi?
Dachi.
Get out of here!
You brought me
nothing but misery my whole life.
I don't need your problems.
I swear, if I return to power,
I'll answer every letter myself.
Gia! No.
My sister was killed in your prison.
Get out of here!
Phase...
I beg you...
Have pity...
Have pity on my grandson.
If you don't keep him,
I have to cross the border.
I may need to cross the sea.
I can't do it with him.
I swear, if I can cross the border,
I will send you a lot of money,
and I'll take my grandson back.
Please have pity and shelter him.
Maria!
It's very dangerous here.
I can't keep a child with me.
Who are they?
Soldiers.
Go inside!
I need money. Please give me some.
Go inside!
Don't look!
Hurry HP'
One, two, one, two...
The number of casualties
According to the latest reports.
the President is still in the country,
although he remains at large.
Roads and bridges across the country
are under the control
of the united opposition.
Search them!
Me and you... Don't look at me! Look away!
We're not grandfather and grandson, okay?
We don't know each other.
The woman next to you... Don't look at me!
You will be her granddaughter for a bit.
If you do everything I say.
I'll buy you an ice cream.
I don't want to be that lady's child.
Look away!
Hold you, we are in big danger!
Cross the bridge with that lady.
I'll find you on the other side.
Listen to me!
People with children on this side.
The rest, over there.
Quickly!
Move!
Faster!
God bless you, my son.
Put your hand down!
Down!
Stop!
Where are you going?
Who are you with?
Is this your child?
You and your children can go.
Search everybody!
Cover your legs.
You're scaring the child.
You look familiar.
TO me, 100.
Were you also in prison?
YES.
Hello, brother!
Hello!
The military have closed all the roads.
Sit down, then pee.
Why?
Because that's how girls pee.
If they ask who we are,
we say that I was a political prisoner
and you are my granddaughter.
What does "political prisoner" mean?
It means that I was the President's enemy,
and that's why they imprisoned me.
I wasn't the President.
I was his enemy.
Why were you the President's enemy?
If you say that I was the President,
they will kill us.
Why would they kill us?
Because they are the President's enemies.
Why, Your Majesty?
Don't call me "Your Majesty" anymore!
Sorry.
Are you finished?
YES.
What happened to his feet?
He was tortured.
What does "tortured" mean?
Don't tell the kid.
Why not?
It's better she knows.
They beat him with cables.
Why?
Go faster.
How many years were you in prison?
Many"-
Political prisoner?
YES.
Were you tortured?
After the collapse of the dictatorship,
angry people, along with freedom fighters,
burned the former dictator
That is the current leading
international news story.
Did you hear?
He deserved it.
First kill the f***ing dictator,
then you can talk about democracy.
How can you talk about democracy
when your ideology is based on revenge?
You mean we should forgive the man
who tortured so many innocent people,
and ruined the lives of so many families?
We should kiss him goodbye
and let him go in peace?
I mean that we should not do
worse than him.
I, too, feel a great desire
to hurt the President.
But...
You hurt one.
Than another comes and hurts you.
And then another.
It never ends.
If you catch the President,
forgive him and let him go.
If I find him, I will kill him.
If we only had a hat
and a worn-out coat
Add to that a big belly
A belly and head
If we just had a bit of vodka
And a bit of throat
For the rest, let's not give a damn
