Mom! Hold it!

Come to eat, quickly! It's all ready!

Eh, Sergei!

Come and eat!

Thank you! Thank you...

Eat, just go ahead!

Don't feel bad because of me!

I have my own...

Don't touch, till everybody's at the table.

Please eat! Well, eat!

Is it me you're waiting for?

Sit down here...

Thank you.

Thank you.

Give him that.

With your hands!

Eat...

Thank you! It's good.

Bouin, here, some meat.

Thank you!

Let's... um...

What do you want?

Meat without fat?

To your house!

I mean... yurt. To your yurt!

Go, Gombo!

Hup! Russian style! Bottoms up!

To your yurt!

It burns!

Damn!

Good God!

Help yourselves!

Very good.

Serve it.

Thank you!

Here's a tender piece.

Let's clink glasses!

It's a Russian custom...

Russian. Russian.

Broken-pea puree!

Soup?

Careful.

Hey, pass some to him.

Tchabota?

Yes, Samota.

Samota!

Not much for me.

It's...

Sh*t...

With the baguet.

There's this... there...

Damn! Couldn't it go

somewhere else, this shitty fly!

What?

A fly, damn...

Damn! I spilt it on myself.

Give me a towel.

Bourma, which piece do you want?

- Thank you...

- Wipe yourself there.

That? Ah!

You still want some, Bouin?

Damn fly, got right here...

Geez... Alright!

Gombo...

Who is it who plays... the accordion?

Who plays that thing... there...

- You? You?

- Bourma.

Our daughter.

You?

Our daughter.

You? You play!

Fantastic!

And... who teaches her?.

You know, teaches her? Eh?

Him. A relative who lives down town,

He's their uncle...

Tourline?

Tourline-akha!

Yes! He plays the piano

-... in a restaurant.

- A pianist?

He teaches her...

Her?

... the accordion.

Good Tourline! Good man...

Sergei... You?

Bourma!

Bourma.

Me too, I'm a musician.

In the army:
a soldier, I was a soldier!

A soldier, you understand?

In the orchestra!

When I was a soldier. Soldier, you see?

Have some more.

Good. To the health of the children!

Oh geez...

Um.. Granny, Granny...

Grandma, doesn't she drink?

She doesn't drink, eh? No?

She smokes only?

Yes, she smokes a lot.

Raise your hand,

our guest's asking, come on.

No, you shouldn't act like this

with the grow-up people.

It's no good.

Eat instead.

You're not eating, Bouin?

Pass the dish.

And that one, who's that?

I don't know really...

Our neighbor Bayartou says

that it's his brother in America.

But I don't believe it.

He makes up stories.

He's a bit strange...

always drunk... staggers around...

Even his horse looks drunk.

And he's not... no?

Not, not that one!

- No?

- No, not that one!

Not that one!

Oh, geez...

That's the real fire.

Here...

Grandma...

A long life to Granny!

To Grandma!

She's super, Granny!

To your health!

To you! To you all!

Damn! Oh Lord, help me!

What have you got there?

Bourma!

Could you play us something...?

Yes, yes... play a little...

Yes, play!..

Gombo.. the accordion and...

Yes, yes, my daughter plays well, yes!

- Really, play for our guest.

- Good.

She is gifted in music.

Go ahead, we're listening!

Look, don't lie so close to me then.

Where should I lie? My bed

is being used by our guest.

But I'm not made of iron.

Pagma... come closer.

You're obstinate, like a child.

You know me,

I'll be pregnant straight away.

But before, you could...

The doctor did something to you.

Not just after the birth.

You have to wait, the doctor said.

I told you so many times.

You can't as long as he forbids it.

But it's three months already.

How long do we have to wait?

I don't know.

And you, why don't you do anything?

Have you never...

What can I do?

... heard anything about it?

No. About what?

Come here.

Yes, what?

I'll explain.

What?!

Listen to me, okay?

Everyone knows that.

You too?

Of course.

Eh?

My family is from the city,

I lived there for a long time.

They talk about it on TV.

In town, you're not allowed

to have more than one kid.

And how do they work that?

Condoms? At the drugstore.

What'll I do?

Don't worry.

Come here. Sit down.

You really are a barbarian!

You don't know anything.

You should buy a TV.

You learn a lot from it.

I will write it down for you on the paper.

Here's Bayartou.

Yes, it's him.

Hello there!

Hello!

What're you doing here,

instead of sleeping in the warm?

And you, why are you loafing around?

Drunk again?

Oh, I have too much to do!

What's this, this umbrella?

Rain stopped long ago.

I found it out on the steppe.

Gombo, look what I brought you.

This goes with the morning present.

It's called an egg, one is enough for you.

And this is for you.

I won it at cards. It smells of apples.

Here, take it... Well, I gotta go,

I have so much to do.

My brother's coming from America,

I have to cut the cow's throat,

I've got so much to prepare.

Well, I'll go then. Goodbye!

Go, go, his brother's coming from

America, windbag! Go and sleep!

Yes, I'm going...

Always drunk...

To cut the throat of a cow...

Where would he find one?

He never had anything except

his horse.

Tomorrow, I'm going into town.

I'll write it all down for you.

The weather will be nice tomorrow.

The sky is clear.

You aren't cold?

Gombo!

The road separates here.

To go to town, you go straight.

I'll go left -

to park the truck.

OK, we're agreed: at 7 o'clock.

Right!

Understood? OK!

That way?

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

Can I help you, comrade?

You want some condoms, comrade?

Me? No! Not at all!

What is it?

Some small apples.

I want to taste them.

You have to pay for

them then, comrade!

Hey you! You can't eat

them without paying!

Hello.

Hello.

- How much is it for one round?

- 2 yuan, comrade.

Well, take it all.

There's enough there for an hour!

Mom! The horses are running away!

Mom!

No, Boin, Let me do it.

Bouin, come here! Let's go for a walk!

Marina...why are you crying?

You didn't call me

for two days.

Stasik and I,

we almost went crazy.

Marina, if you knew

what I fell into!

Mom! Dad!

There's nobody I can read to here.

Nobody understands Russian.

Only Chinese here.

I will better read to you.

"I see the town of Petrograd

In nineteen-seventeen

The sailor and the soldier run,

They're firing continuously"

Do you love me?

What do you think, Marina?

"...They carry banners.

Beside... behind the Bolsheviks,

Lenin's Guards.

October has co..."

Hello, Uncle Bayartou!

Hello! What are you doing there?

Oh.. Here, have an apple

in the meantime.

Thank you.

Thank you.

"October has come.

Bourgeois power...

Thus, October exhausted

the dream of the workers.

Victory was not easy.

But Lenin led the people

and Lenin saw far

ahead of his time.''

Marina,

you know what an urga is?

A long stick with a lasso at the end.

The Mongols

catch their horses and sheeps with it.

And when they make love

out in the steppe, this urga,

they plant it in the ground to warn others.

It can be seen from far away.

And nobody disturbs them.

Not bad...

And you remember our dorm?

Horrible!

Seriozha,

what are we doing here?

And what are you doing
