Let’s go, my dear!
Switzerland, France
and even United States!
All of them want to
sign a contract with you.
World tour is awaiting you.
We should call to Poland.
No! Now you are a
European star, Anna German.
It’s time to say good bye to Warsaw.
Tomorrow all the magazines
will be writing about you.
Be careful with the dress, my queen!
The new star of the
European stage, Anna German!
Sounds great, huh?
Celentano is green with envy.
I swear, him, Dalida and even
Sony & Sherr are in the past.
Anna German is the future!
Tomorrow I will be on the front
pages of all the newspapers.
“The shining star of the European
stage, Anna German, has died.
White Polish Angel,
Italian sweetheart…” -
That’s what they are going to write,
Because on that day of ’67, on
the Italian Autostrada del Sole
I died…
Urgench, Uzbekistan SSR, 1938.
Do not worry, camels
like people. Here you go!
Good day!
Hello, comrade!
Hi! Have you seen Fatima? Thank you!
…Cavalier wants to steal a madam.
Where is this street,
where is this house?
Fatima! Headscarf?
Evgeniy Friedrichovich, why don’t
you file a complaint about this?
Fatima!
What a righteous kyzym!
Just like her father.
Will you look after
her? I’ll be right back.
Surely! Well, come here!
You can’t have a day off in such heat!
What about the report?
I beg your pardon. I
have written the report.
The deficit of 200,000 is quite patent.
What? I warned you! You
should have listened.
What are you blaming me for? You
shall answer for the peculation!
Excuse me; I shall not cover for this.
Bastard!
Keep shining, my little star,
The star of dedicated love!
You are the only one for me,
I’ll never have another one.
You are the only one for me,
I’ll never have another one.
Daddy!
You my sweetheart!
Are you ready to go? Thank you, Fatima!
You are welcome. Good
luck, irmi! Good bye!
Daddy!
One moment! Look who that is.
Mama!
Quiet! Do you see?
Who is that?
It’s your brother. His name is
Friedrich, like you grandpa’s.
He is so tiny… Are you not
going to love me less now?
No way! I will love you twice as much.
You are older - that is, more important.
Will you be defending him?
All right.
I will not go anywhere. No
more running around, I’m tired.
Oygen, it’s not about
you. Please, do it for us.
For our sake!
Leave him, Irma. You
can’t escape destiny.
We have to pray and maintain our faith.
If we are righteous, the
Lord will not forget us.
Where was the Lord, when
all the Russian Germans were
gathered, like cattle,
and brought here?!
Where was he, when
Oygen’s and our father
were taken away from us?
Look at me. Do you hear me? Look at me.
I will not go anywhere,
There’s nowhere to go.
Soyuz is a big cage.
But now, in this cage,
I have a wife and kids.
I’ll be struggling.
Oh, my dear Augustine,
Augustine, Augustine,
Oh, my dear Augustine,
everything is lost!
We must eliminate all the
remaining German-Japanese and
Polish spies and saboteurs,
the rest of the Trotskiy-Bukharin gang…
Are you…?
…and nationalistic carrion…
Hello.
Hello, hello.
We will eliminate them, no
matter how hard they try to hide!
Thank you…
You are welcome.
Who let you in?!
Excuse me.
Is this yours?
No, it is not. The enemies
must have planted it.
What bastards!
How many of them work
in your department?
Stand up! I want to know about everyone:
Koreans, Japanese, Poles;
but most importantly, Germans.
The country is on the threshold of war.
They are everywhere. All they dream
of is to yield us to the enemy.
Here you are! We’ve got everyone here.
Good!
Please, pay close attention to
our accountant, Evgeniy German.
He’s got German name - Oygen.
He’s Lutheran. His father was a pastor.
He was subjected to repression.
The younger brother is on the run.
He’s a real enemy.
Go on.
His wife teaches German language.
Vasiliy Semenovich. Ah!
Irma, I think. Irma Martens.
I will inform the leaders
about your vigilance.
Anna! Faster, Aniuta!
Rain, stop falling!
Aniuta! Anna, come alone!
Why are you dawdling? You blunderer!
Mama, look!
Anna, it’s not yours, leave
it. It belongs to somebody else.
Let’s go now!
Wait!
The rain will start now. Let’s run!
Go there!
Stay here.
Ladies, I will give you a lift!
No, thank you! The rain’s almost over.
I remember a sweet
moment…Irma Martens, my love!
Valik? Why are you
here? How about Odessa?
I’m fed up to the teeth with Odessa!
I’m joking. I’ve got
work here. Get in! Get in!
Let’s go!
“The wound in his heart led
him to dusty Uzbekistan.”
Go!
Emma, will the flour
arrive in the afternoon?
Sergeev Ivan Petrovich! Stop! Kim Chi!
I am…
Abdulla Rakhmanov.
Here…
Yustrina Wyzhovskaya.
I am…
Varvara Shuvalova.
It’s me.
Get in the car!
Yes!
Hello, Evgeniy Friedrokhovich!
Hi, Fatima!
Where’s France?
He caught cold I believe.
Too bad.
Go, faster!
Emma from the bakery, Kim Chi
from the transport department…
What did you want?
I worked on holidays,
please take into account.
Yes, I remember.
Run away!
And do not come here
again! Fatima, go to work.
I beg you, run away!
Get in! Faster, Faster!
Here we are!
Thank you!
Grandma, do you know who we met?
Don’t scream, Friedrich is asleep!
Mama has a friend who wears a uniform.
What uniform?
Also, he has a gun like this!
Wait! Maybe, we could go to the
concert today, like we used to?
It’s not possible
anymore, I have kids now.
And a husband, right?
The husband you love.
Okay, I’ll wait. Let’s go!
Is it him?
How’s it going?
Everything is fine. Why?
Gehenna awaits those who
kill, even in one’s mind!
Mom, don’t frighten her! Why
is everyone frightening me?
What happened?
Valik is here. He became a big boss.
Oygen, please…please, run away!
No. They don’t touch families yet.
If I run away, it’ll become
worse. They’ll take you.
No, you will go! He
needs me, not you. Run!
This is why I will not go.
Daddy, you won’t go anywhere, will you?
Why would I? Sleep, sleep, sleep.
No, tell me! I don’t
want you to go away.
I will not.
Do you have a uniform?
No?
Do you have a pistol?
No, I do not.
Too bad… But it’s ok, don’t
cry. I will sing for you now.
But quietly!
Keep shining, my little star,
The star of dedicated love!
You are the only one for me,
I’ll never have another one.
Sing…sing, my little bird.
Sing when you are sad
and when you’re happy.
Sing for the God. He likes songs.
Keep shining, my little star,
The star of dedicated love!
You are the only one for me,
I’ll never have another one.
Friedrich! This is a
newspaper. People read it.
Do you understand? I can
read for you. I can do it.
Sit down and listen to me.
He’s too young for it, Anna!
And me?
You’re already grown-up,
so you have to be patient.
Come here!
“Com-ra-de Sta-lin leads us.
Death to the Ger-man spies!”
Who are the German spies?
Nobody! It’s rubbish. Play games!
Evgeniy Friedrichovich, they… They…
I know, Fatima. I know.
It’s going to rain soon.
I have an umbrella.
You don’t have an umbrella!
Silly Fatima. Go now. Go to work!
You are a fool, Evgeniy Friedrichovich!
I said, go to work! Go!
What’s happening? Are
you bickering? Here.
They’re waiting for you now.
I know. Excuse me.
I know your wife.
Yes, I’m aware.
Do I have to sign it?
Yes.
Good. Very good.
Today at 6 p.m. they’ll come after you.
I beg your pardon! I have a name.
You…haven’t understood me.
Today they will come after you at 6 p.m.
I understood. May I go?
Yes.
You’re free to go. Do not
worry about the family.
Faster!
Karl Gertzych, I don’t keep a grunge.
I failed that exam, but no matter!
Oygen! Oygen…Why? Why?
Go, you German swine!
Go, spy! You dirty Fritz!
Go!
Stay here!
Where’s winter clothing?
I already put it in.
More! More! More! More! More!
Come here now! What?
I want to hear about the bird!
You are my bird! A nightingale…And
you, you are a kitten.
Kitten!
There was a little birdie.
Most of all she enjoyed
singing happy songs -
about beautiful life, about
the bright sun, green grass…
She wanted to embrace the whole world!
Once upon a time she met another bird.
They started singing
together, made a nest,
where some chicks appeared…
Two of them?
Yes, yes, of course.
They were learning to fly.
They had a wonderful free life.
But then, darkness descended upon earth…
A very strong wind took
their nest far away,
into the land of sand and plane-trees.
But they survived!
They mended their nest,
cleaned their feathers
and started singing again.
But then a hawk heard
their beautiful song.
Immediately he came
to earth, like a stone.
He doesn’t like songs, does he?
No, he doesn’t.
He was frightened to
hear such a happy song.
He saw the nest and decided to ruin it.
And then…Then daddy bird
flew towards the bird.
He pretended that he’s broken his limb,
in order to lead the
hawk away from the nest,
and then safely come back.
Like this!
Who’s hiding like a bird?
You count, I’ll be hiding!
No, no! Close your
eyes and count slowly!
What time is it? Where’s my watch?
I’ll bring it!
One, two - where are you?
Three, four - how much more?
Five, six - who is this?
Seven, eight - Come to play!
Nine, ten - What a game!
Sing, sing, my little bird!
Don’t listen to anyone.
The first dwarf came,
the second dwarf came,
and dwarf the third came!
One is telling tales,
the other one is dancing dances,
yet another one is singing songs!
One, two, three, come and see!
I’m ready to seek!
Oygen, it’s 6 p.m.
Friedrich, where’s daddy?
Friedrich, come here!
Oygen! Oygen!
Daddy! Daddy!
It’s ok. It’s ok. It’s ok. It’s ok…
That’s a different taste!
What did you bake it with?
Come, try some melon! Tasty melon!
Hey, this one is sweet, like a lady!
Fragrant like pure nectar!
Good! I’ll take one.
All right!
Here you go. Do you have roses?
Why do you need roses?
Take some daisies!
All of them!
All of them? Ok.
I’ll be back.
Why doesn’t it whistle?
This one’s magical.
How much?
Not expensive.
Here you go!
You’re a madman!
How many?
Five!
Four of us.
To Tashkent?
Go look for the chief of the depot!
Yes!
We made it!
Is this going to Tashkent?
Yes, it is.
Stop it.
Who escaped? A criminal of some kind?
A group of German spies.
Come on, make a call!
Do you have a paper?
I’m a little man, I need a
paper for this kind of thing.
I will provide a paper
later! Now, make a call!
When you provide a paper,
we shall stop the train.
What?! It’s sabotage!
I’ll put you into prison!
Not so loud, boss!
Look: papers, instructions.
So, good day, sir!
Senior lieutenant, I…
What?! Start the car!
Yes!
Sleeping?
Sleeping.
Oygen is in Tashkent, I know.
They are all brought there.
We will find him, with God’s help.
Here you are! Here you are!
Dad, you are here! We
were looking for you!
I fooled everyone and
escaped. My little bird…
It’s ok now.
Don’t ever go away!
No, I won’t. Is mama sleeping?
Mama, wake up, daddy’s
here! Daddy’s here!
Grandma, daddy’s here! Daddy! Daddy!
Daddy!
Night owl!
I’m looking for my dad,
he’s been right here!
No one’s here, go to sleep!
Would you like some melon?
I need my dad…
Is it yours? Go!
Daddy! You’re smart!
Vitya, what’s up? It’s not Vitya…
What’s up?
Nothing, go to sleep.
Who are you?
I’m looking for my dad. He’s hiding.
Open up! I lost my daughter!
A big black car took him away.
Now I cannot find him anywhere…
Really?
Where did your father work?
Was he making guns, maybe?
No, bread.
Excuse me!
Excuse me! No, thank you.
We’re Germans, which is bad.
I don’t know why we’re Germans…
It’s how it is…
My dad is very nice, and mommy is, too.
Grandma is strict, but she’s nice, too.
Friedrich is still foolish,
because he’s a baby.
But he’s good.
He wets his bed, which is bad.
Are you a grown-up?
Yes, I am. Daddy said, I’m responsible
for Friedrich, I am in charge.
Anna! Excuse me, please.
Did she wake you up?
Anna, come on, don’t
bother the gentleman.
I’ll carry her.
No, thank you.
Don’t be afraid!
Here, please.
Good luck! Don’t give up
hope, and you’ll find your dad.
Thank you.
Are you going to Tashkent?
Business, or just visiting?
