Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:09,015
Attention! Daugavpils-Riga train
arriving at station 1.
2
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:14,175
Your bags. Listen to what Ieva tells
you. Paula, look at Laura.
3
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:20,415
- Mom, why isn't dad here to see us off?
- Your father's at work.
4
00:00:22,240 --> 00:00:25,495
Have a nice trip, girls! Be good!
5
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:45,935
Latvian Soviet Socialist Republic
August 1989
6
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:32,895
Watch where you're going, brats!
7
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,255
Don't you understand Latvian?
8
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,695
- Hi.
- Hi.
9
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,535
I'd like to have myself so many signs.
10
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,255
Those aren't signs, they're
medals. Let's go!
11
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,575
- I would like to have so many medals.
- They don't give them to children.
12
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,615
Adults only, who
defended the nation in war.
13
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:18,455
Why is it called "Fatherland"?
That means the land belongs to the fathers.
14
00:02:18,920 --> 00:02:20,895
So what about mothers?
15
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,135
- Paula!
- That's just what they say.
16
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,295
Mothers must also have their own land.
What about children?
17
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:36,615
Think if we had our own country,
where there are no adults.
18
00:02:37,640 --> 00:02:41,015
- Good afternoon.
- Good afternoon.
19
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,055
How are you?
20
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,095
Very well!
21
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:12,775
Don't touch!
22
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:15,855
Awesome!
23
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,335
- Laura!
- Hello, this is Laura. Who's calling?
24
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:22,815
Mr. Elephant?
25
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:24,280
Let's go!
26
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,735
Hello, Comrade Paula.
27
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,655
I hope the trip went well, ma'am.
28
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,855
Mostly yes, but my legs were cramped.
29
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:49,975
What have you brought?
30
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,575
- Mom got this through a friend at the store.
- Awesome!
31
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,015
She sends her love.
32
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:07,935
How's my godmother doing?
33
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:11,935
Everyone's fine.
34
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,295
Linda, come in!
35
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,055
No coffee, it's too late.
36
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,855
Paula, may I?
37
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,655
- Can she?
- She may.
38
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,175
PARADISE '89
39
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:50,215
- Hi Aunt Aija. We came from Riga.
- Our cousins are staying for a couple of weeks.
40
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,855
Do the ladies of Riga have to hold
out so long? It's not the capital.
41
00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:01,815
- Paula considers herself Russian.
- In Riga most people speak Russian.
42
00:06:03,280 --> 00:06:05,895
Aunt Aija - a Russian!
43
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,695
I don't speak Russian on principle.
44
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,735
Warm. No, it's not raining.
45
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,135
Of course we eat well.
46
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,055
Ieva is at work.
47
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:26,535
- Paula, are you really okay?
- Yes mom, it's like paradise here.
48
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,215
Give the phone to dad.
49
00:06:33,840 --> 00:06:36,455
- Are you crying?
- No, no.
50
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:41,015
- Tell Dad to call me tomorrow after work.
- Alright.
51
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,055
Try!
52
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,095
Stupid! You almost broke it.
53
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,895
Okay, bye.
54
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,855
If you clean things up daughter,
you can keep the kitten.
55
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:22,855
Mommy, you're so good!
Paula and I are not allowed to have a pet.
56
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,500
Nothing is allowed for us.
57
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:34,535
We are told to put our clothes on
the chair and brush our teeth.
58
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,775
- Can't you keep it down?
- And we must always clean our plates.
59
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:53,135
During the war, that wagon was
drowned. With the horses.
60
00:07:55,480 --> 00:08:00,615
- And the princess too?
- It's true! Dad told me.
61
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,415
He told me, not you.
62
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,975
When he told me that story,
you weren't even born yet.
63
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,135
You were only two years old then!
64
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,135
I remember seeing mom and dad
riding a merry-go-round in Riga.
65
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,815
We went too. Remember, Paula?
66
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,815
I had to laugh.
Almost peed my pants.
67
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,775
- Hello girls.
- Hi.
68
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,415
Does art interest you?
69
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,015
I'm interested.
70
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:42,855
In that case...
Is this art, in your opinion?
71
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:46,855
Idiot!
72
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,255
What are you laughing at?
73
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:03,855
Mother taught us that if anyone seems
suspicious, stay away from them.
74
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,935
He looked like a professional.
75
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,495
Laura, come on!
You know smoking is bad.
76
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:22,335
- Let's talk about art, Maija.
- Stop it! You're so stupid!
77
00:09:23,680 --> 00:09:25,535
Stop it!
78
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,135
Promise you won't talk about it anymore.
Okay?
79
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,735
I'll bet he's abnormal too.
80
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,215
No, he doesn't seem dangerous.
81
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,135
People aren't always what they seem.
82
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,055
Look, he's not normal.
83
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,455
Like all men.
84
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:12,175
Not my father. He also plays
with us like that sometimes.
85
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:27,735
Maija, did your parents
fight before the divorce?
86
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:32,575
At first. After that, they didn't
talk anymore and separated.
87
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:38,535
- Will your mother get married again?
- No, she's got more important stuff to do.
88
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,535
Ugh! Ugh!
89
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,015
- Come on, the kids are watching!
- The kids are asleep.
90
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:33,815
Chic living.
91
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:16,375
I'll take the umbrella.
92
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,655
Maija, are you asleep?
93
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,855
- Where's Linda?
- Sleeping.
94
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,615
Don't just give it to your mom.
95
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:16,295
Buy food - flour, eggs,
whatever you need
96
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,495
to last a while.
97
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:24,095
Because everything is changing. Soon there'll
be nothing to buy in the stores anymore.
98
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:29,255
Later, all the stores will be filled with
goods but no one will have any money.
99
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,615
- What have you got there?
- Nothing.
100
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:45,295
I'm driving to Leningrad.
I'll be back September 1st.
101
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:51,855
Then we take some pictures
and eat ice cream, okay?
102
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,575
Say hi to Linda for me.
103
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,935
See, exactly the same
tights we have at home!
104
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,575
Another jar of condensed milk for me
and two cans of coffee, my dear Elita.
105
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,695
- Do you have sausages?
- No.
106
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,055
Make room!
107
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:58,015
- Did you sign?
- Yes, but I don't know...
108
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:04,535
I still tell Rihard there's going to be
a war. We'll be deported to Siberia.
109
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,015
Stop that talk now!
The Popular Front isn't stupid.
110
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:12,055
- Girls!
- Paula! Make room!
111
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,295
Call me when the sausages come in.
112
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:24,295
I'd like ten eggs, oatmeal, five loaves of
white bread, five loaves of black bread.
113
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:30,015
Flour, barley, bread, sugar,
two packs of macaroni...
114
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,535
...and condensed milk with sugar.
115
00:15:41,740 --> 00:15:43,495
- Our cart was stolen!
- Crap!
116
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:49,935
Pay up!
117
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,335
Hold on!
118
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,255
Stupid idiot!
119
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,535
- Hello, ladies!
- Hi.
120
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:38,135
Girl.
121
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,375
Girl.
122
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,895
Haven't your parents told you
that adults should be respected?
123
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:48,815
Hello.
124
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:53,215
Look at me. I thought
you were a good girl.
125
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,335
Hello, hello.
126
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:05,295
Uncle militia! Have you
captured the exhibitionist yet?
127
00:17:08,120 --> 00:17:11,575
We'll capture him. I'm sure we will.
128
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:15,375
In the Soviet Union all
citizens are protected.
129
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:23,895
Come here, Kitty! Kiss kiss!
130
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,175
Hold on!
131
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,335
Why do you feel like you need
to hide from the militia?
132
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:58,775
You're not like an exhibitionist.
What have you done?
133
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,095
What the hell did you do?
134
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:07,335
Promise you won't tell anyone about me.
Otherwise, I'll find you and...
135
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,455
You understand?
136
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:24,015
I don't speak Russian. On principle.
137
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,000
Promise you won't rat me out.
138
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,135
Promise you won't rat me out.
139
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,455
Promise you won't rat me out.
140
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,615
Take her.
Promise you won't rat me out.
141
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,135
The kitten is yours.
Promise you won't rat me out.
142
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,815
No, she's your kitten.
I'm not going to tell on you.
143
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,695
- I'm a dissident.
- What does that mean?
144
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,735
Dissidents listen to outlawed
music, read banned books.
145
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,855
- What kind of books?
- The Bible.
146
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:16,935
Lovely pigtails.
147
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:25,935
- Jonas, Lithuanian.
- Paula, Latvian.
148
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,815
Do you know where Mom put
that beautiful plate?
149
00:20:58,400 --> 00:20:59,960
When is Ieva coming home?
150
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,800
- She's at work.
- Are the secretaries working at night?
151
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:08,375
- She does secret work for the Popular Front.
- How cool!
152
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:16,055
Paula, you should have seen how
we ran. Just like the boys!
153
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:21,095
They turned the corner and we did too.
154
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:25,615
They ran up the hill and we did too.
155
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,815
Laura and I would have gotten
them, if it wasn't for Maija.
156
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,000
What took you so long?
157
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,500
I was looking at the pantyhose.
158
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,000
- Did dad call?
- No.
159
00:21:39,250 --> 00:21:41,000
- Mom?
- No.
160
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,095
Are you just going to stand
there, while we work?
161
00:21:50,360 --> 00:21:53,255
We went back to the store.
162
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,135
You weren't there.
163
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,000
You were somewhere else.
164
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,135
Paula!
165
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:14,495
Paula!
166
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:19,735
Paula!
167
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:25,095
Maija! Maija!
168
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:40,095
Aren't you ashamed? I've been looking
for you everywhere, worried...
169
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:43,600
I don't think they're speaking
to each other anymore.
170
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:45,400
Who?
171
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:50,200
Mom and Dad. Mother called, not father.
172
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:55,055
Adults are so stupid!
They ruin everything.
173
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:57,695
Jump!
174
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,695
Jump down.
I have a good idea.
175
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,975
Just don't tell Laura.
176
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,015
I'm glad my parents aren't
together anymore.
177
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,575
Dad sends money, mom's never
home. Total freedom!
178
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:31,000
I WILL NEVER MARRY A MAN
AND HAVE CHILDREN!
179
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,295
What does it say?
180
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,935
That I will never get married
and have children.
181
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:46,095
Put your hand down.
182
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,055
Chickening out?
183
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:17,455
She's grateful for the help.
Her son is also in Afghanistan.
184
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:21,735
All soldiers from Valmiera,
they feel the same way.
185
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:27,855
Respecting their comrade's
mother and her prayer.
186
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:34,535
It's hard to talk about,
because we just got bad news.
187
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:39,000
Another young man from Valmiera comes
home from Afghanistan in a coffin.
188
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:44,055
- What?
- Nothing. Children shouldn't see such things.
189
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:51,055
We go live now to Riga Dome Square.
190
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:57,815
Where a protest has been organized against
drafting young Latvian men into the Soviet army.
191
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:04,215
They're joining hands and vowing
to fight for freedom.
192
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:11,215
- Can I come to your bed?
- Go to sleep, Laura.
193
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:29,535
Maija, do you know what a dissident is?
194
00:26:30,360 --> 00:26:34,375
Dissidents are those
who ignore stupid laws.
195
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:39,455
- They're criminals who do harmless things.
- Like what?
196
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:45,415
Attending secret meetings,
listening to banned music...
197
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:49,575
- ...reading banned books.
- Do you have banned books?
198
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,295
- Open the door!
- Get up!
199
00:26:53,120 --> 00:26:55,135
Militia!
200
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:18,095
- Do you have any brothers of fighting age?
- No, just sisters. And cousins.
201
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,255
Good evening!
202
00:27:45,360 --> 00:27:47,935
- Where's your mother?
- At work.
203
00:27:55,800 --> 00:28:00,095
Igor Janovich?
I recognize your voice.
204
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:15,175
- Aija Karlovna!
- You remember me!
205
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,175
How many years has it been?
206
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:34,575
Were you sent from Riga?
News spreads quickly in the countryside.
207
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:39,215
These days, there are traitors everywhere!
208
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:44,215
Mothers hide their sons, even
though the homeland needs them.
209
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:49,255
The TV shows them coming home in coffins.
210
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:54,335
Draft dodgers are cowards and
weaklings, not men.
211
00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:00,295
Why am I talking about coffins,
when you've just returned?
212
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,575
Believe me, Aija Karlovna,
I'm going to catch all those runts,
213
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:07,095
and teach them to love their homeland.
214
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:11,495
- They'll learn honor and discipline.
- Yes, yes.
215
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,735
We had good times, Aija Karlovna...
216
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:21,655
Let's go!
217
00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:03,015
Jonas! Jonas!
218
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:19,095
- What is it?
- You're not safe here! Quickly!
219
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:25,935
Quickly!
220
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:35,935
Damn!
221
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:41,255
- Do you want to join the army, dissident?
- No.
222
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:15,255
Damn!
223
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:28,175
Ieva! Ieva!
224
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:31,375
- Fool!
- Ieva!
225
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:51,215
I'd love to have hair like that lady.
226
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,095
I got an idea.
Let's buy curling irons.
227
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:06,895
Don't. Father said that
money is for buying food.
228
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:32,655
- Igor Janovich!
- Do you know any of these guys?
229
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,215
Paula, he's here again!
230
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:52,520
We have to find mom.
231
00:32:52,700 --> 00:32:54,900
- She's at work.
- I'm going to look for her.
232
00:32:56,320 --> 00:33:00,095
Laura, brush your teeth
and let's go!
233
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:04,415
- Good morning.
- ...and then we'll go buy curling irons.
234
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:12,535
Bring a swimsuit, baby!
235
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:18,895
Your father called this morning.
236
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,095
I wrote the number next to the phone.
237
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:45,375
HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT,
HEALTHY PEOPLE
238
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,575
- Tell your friends and neighbors.
- Maija!
239
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,135
We're gathering at 6:30.
240
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:16,960
- Take a flyer so you won't forget.
- Thanks.
241
00:34:17,100 --> 00:34:18,700
See you on the twenty-third, okay?
242
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:58,495
Paula, signatures are being collected
to support Latvian independence.
243
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:00,975
To break away from the Soviet Union!
244
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:08,800
What?
245
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,000
Aren't we part of the Soviet Union?
246
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:15,895
Do you believe we're all
grandchildren of Lenin?
247
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:21,040
What's your grandfather's name?
248
00:35:21,250 --> 00:35:23,600
- Alfred.
- You see, Alfred.
249
00:35:23,720 --> 00:35:26,415
Smart girl mostly, but you'll
believe anything.
250
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:31,095
If we win our freedom we won't
have to speak Russian anymore.
251
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:37,095
Mothers won't have to work two jobs, and
young men won't have to join the army.
252
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:42,255
We'll start a new life.
A real paradise!
253
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:46,015
Right now, we can't even hoist
the red-white-red flag.
254
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:49,255
Did you know that our anthem is
"God protect Latvia", not...
255
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:55,695
♫ Let Soviet Latvia live forever,
Let it shine bright in the Soviet crown! ♫
256
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:58,295
Mom's not here. She drove
off to run some errands.
257
00:35:58,500 --> 00:36:00,255
I told you she had work to do.
258
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:05,720
Let's go sign our names.
We're not little kids anymore!
259
00:36:05,940 --> 00:36:10,055
Maija, we saw the militia
are looking for a dodger.
260
00:36:13,940 --> 00:36:17,140
What are we signing now?
261
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,000
Freedom!
262
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:42,015
We demand that the Communist Party
abandon its exclusive power.
263
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:49,655
I have only one thing to say:
We won't stop until Latvia is free.
264
00:36:51,720 --> 00:36:54,415
This is our sacred pledge.
265
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:56,735
It's time to sleep!
266
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:10,295
Maija!
267
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:45,055
Don't go out alone when that
art lover is hanging around.
268
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:47,600
We have an emergency situation.
Is that clear?
269
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,200
Yeah, Roger that!
270
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:51,800
Hi!
271
00:37:52,220 --> 00:37:57,600
Hello, Aija Karlovna! How
many years has it been?
272
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:22,055
What do you think, are they
really getting divorced?
273
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:26,175
Dad sounded happy on the phone today.
274
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:30,175
I don't know but all the
signs point that way.
275
00:38:35,240 --> 00:38:38,040
We have a great life
here. Do you like us?
276
00:38:38,500 --> 00:38:39,800
Very much.
277
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:48,975
- What if your mother doesn't come back?
- Stupid! Mom's working!
278
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:52,255
Run!
279
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:57,095
- Our mother is an agent of the People's Front.
- What?
280
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:00,455
I'm not supposed to tell.
It's a secret.
281
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:50,375
Maija, you think this is permanent?
282
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:55,495
Something that's forever?
283
00:39:56,760 --> 00:40:02,215
Art is eternal, I finish the painting
and it stays that way forever.
284
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:20,735
- It's better if my parents get divorced.
- Finally, you're making sense!
285
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:26,655
I have a good idea!
When we turn 18
286
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:29,855
we'll start living together.
Just the two of us!
287
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:32,775
Through good and bad,
until death do us part!
288
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:52,295
Give me a hand!
289
00:41:01,240 --> 00:41:03,575
It's another exhibitionist!
290
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:34,920
Let's not go to the store today.
291
00:41:35,100 --> 00:41:37,415
We have an emergency situation.
292
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:40,175
We'll buy curling irons tomorrow.
293
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:18,255
When Mom comes home from work
tell her we went swimming.
294
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:23,455
You stayed home because you
have a cold. Understand?
295
00:42:26,720 --> 00:42:28,775
- Are you hurt?
- I'm a little out of it.
296
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:31,935
Let's go to the clinic and make
sure Maija's skull isn't fractured.
297
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:35,535
Yeah, just in case.
298
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:45,175
Girls, be careful!
299
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:57,600
Kitty! Kitty!
Kiss-Kiss!
300
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:05,895
Kitty! Kitty!
301
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:12,215
- It's for you and the cat.
- The cat's gone.
302
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:19,695
Kitty! Kitty! Kitty!
303
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:23,055
Why are you standing there
like a scarecrow?
304
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:37,735
- What happened? Should I call the militia?
- No! Everything's fine.
305
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:19,815
We just have to wait.
306
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:24,535
Next week. We have to wait.
307
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:28,415
Tomorrow or the next day.
308
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:44,495
Maija, dear!
309
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:47,615
I accidentally ripped the pantyhose.
310
00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:50,455
My word!
311
00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:05,095
Maija, how are you feeling?
312
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:11,335
Paula dear!
313
00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:21,495
The doctor injected her and there's
nothing wrong with her anymore.
314
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:30,535
- No fracture.
- Good thing she got her hand in front of her.
315
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:34,295
Have one, they're paradise apples.
316
00:48:35,240 --> 00:48:39,455
If you don't eat the fruit, you will be
banished from paradise for disobedience.
317
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:47,175
- What is paradise?
- A place with everything your heart desires.
318
00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:52,295
What about apples in alcohol?
319
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:41,815
Oleg!
320
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:48,895
- Let's dress up.
- Okay.
321
00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:58,175
- Promise not to tell anyone!
- I promise! I promise!
322
00:50:24,720 --> 00:50:28,935
Let's pretend we're old ladies.
And our husbands died in the war.
323
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:33,520
Alright. My husband's name is Emils.
324
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:41,000
And my husband's name is Maris.
325
00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:52,405
In the quality of its schools, the Soviet
Union is 57th in the world and falling.
326
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:58,535
I can't stand the Communists.
327
00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:05,135
They let their reign
bring down the country.
328
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:13,575
What is the point of our homeland,
if there's no freedom?
329
00:51:15,420 --> 00:51:18,135
Paula, I want to go home.
330
00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:22,975
Laura and I are afraid to sleep here.
Let's go to the neighbors. Come on, Laura.
331
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:25,200
Paula?
332
00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:29,175
I'll give you sugar to calm you down.
333
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:20,255
Thank you, Grandpa.
334
00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:40,975
Paula. It's not Alfred!
335
00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:46,695
It is! This is your grandfather Alfred!
336
00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:00,375
Maija?
337
00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:04,375
And I thought you were a good girl.
338
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:07,535
Punish, punish, punish!
339
00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:29,455
Mom! Dad! Laura!
340
00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:36,895
Mom! Dad! Laura!
341
00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:35,335
You have such big daughters.
342
00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:50,295
I hope they won't grow up while
I'm fighting for freedom.
343
00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:55,935
It's almost over. Tomorrow
everything will be all right.
344
00:54:56,440 --> 00:54:57,640
Oh!
345
00:54:57,940 --> 00:55:01,940
- Ieva, what happened?
- Shh! Don't wake up the girls.
346
00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:06,895
- Are you afraid they'll hear me?
- Don't hold out too much hope.
347
00:55:09,720 --> 00:55:12,295
Turn on the light. The switch
is next to the door.
348
00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:29,295
Ieva, when it's over...
Are you and I ...?
349
00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:34,375
There's still much to do. Let's go.
350
00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:51,455
Juris, stop! Elmar!
351
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:55,175
- Juris, stop it!
- Choose already, either me or him.
352
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:09,175
The nerve!
353
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:23,415
- Peeping Tom!
- Maija, it wasn't him.
354
00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:27,535
Mom told us to stay away
from him. Crazy Russian!
355
00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:40,935
Maija, sit down. There's
something I need to tell you.
356
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:51,055
Look what Aunt Aija gave us.
357
00:56:51,560 --> 00:56:54,575
- The war has started.
- Stupid! Oleg hit him.
358
00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:57,175
Aunt Aija said we'll be
deported to Siberia...
359
00:56:57,680 --> 00:57:01,175
...because we signed in support
of Latvian autonomy.
360
00:57:01,680 --> 00:57:05,175
Because of your stupidity someone's going
to die. Get dressed, you fat goat!
361
00:57:05,720 --> 00:57:08,735
Shut up, you're not my mother.
362
00:57:09,240 --> 00:57:11,495
Leave me alone!
363
00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:15,655
Paula, I want to go home.
364
00:57:18,680 --> 00:57:22,455
Hello. Mr. Elephant?
Do you want to talk to Laura?
365
00:57:26,320 --> 00:57:29,815
- If we're sent to Siberia it's your fault.
- Oleg did it!
366
00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:34,415
Dad told me hard times are coming. He said
in simple words that the war has begun.
367
00:57:34,880 --> 00:57:36,855
Laura, let's go buy a curling iron.
368
00:57:43,400 --> 00:57:45,600
- Where's the Bible?
- You must've put it somewhere.
369
00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:46,800
Liar!
370
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:50,015
Call your dad and ask for money.
He'll give it to you.
371
00:57:50,520 --> 00:57:52,095
I'll teach you a lesson!
372
00:57:52,880 --> 00:57:57,415
- I'm telling Mom!
- Where is Mom anyway?
373
00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:03,775
Don't be sad, Laura.
I have a great idea!
374
00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:12,455
The coast is clear. Let's go!
375
00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:16,775
Split up!
376
00:58:39,280 --> 00:58:41,015
Run!
377
01:00:12,280 --> 01:00:14,855
Rest in peace, my kitty.
378
01:00:31,840 --> 01:00:33,040
Hi.
379
01:00:33,300 --> 01:00:38,180
Little girl, are you taking care
of my missing friend's son?
380
01:00:39,920 --> 01:00:43,735
- Thank you.
- Your parents should be proud of you.
381
01:00:46,760 --> 01:00:49,775
I called your mother.
If everything is calm...
382
01:00:50,280 --> 01:00:52,935
...she'll come to see you next week.
383
01:00:53,880 --> 01:00:56,895
I don't know what I'd do without you.
384
01:01:01,240 --> 01:01:07,135
Ah, Jonas. Forgive this old fool
for throwing down rat poison here.
385
01:01:09,020 --> 01:01:11,655
I forgot we had a cat.
386
01:01:18,760 --> 01:01:22,095
- Do you have a pump?
- Pump?
387
01:01:25,240 --> 01:01:29,935
I think I'm slowly starting
to become a dissident.
388
01:01:31,680 --> 01:01:35,735
I've done so many forbidden
things lately.
389
01:01:44,040 --> 01:01:47,975
Mother would die if anything
happened to me.
390
01:02:06,120 --> 01:02:07,775
Hey.
391
01:02:08,560 --> 01:02:12,255
When Latvia becomes independent again
you no longer have to hide yourself.
392
01:02:12,760 --> 01:02:19,175
When Maija's mother comes home
I'll tell your parents that.
393
01:02:26,640 --> 01:02:30,175
I'm taking you as my
wife when I grow up.
394
01:02:53,120 --> 01:02:56,095
- Laura, confess.
- I didn't do it.
395
01:02:56,340 --> 01:02:57,735
Aunt Aija's strong enough to work!
396
01:02:58,240 --> 01:03:01,215
- Tell the truth, Laura.
- I didn't do it!
397
01:03:01,720 --> 01:03:05,975
- Aunt Aija! Don't you have a pump?
- Do you see a pump here?
398
01:03:06,520 --> 01:03:09,735
- Isn't it enough that you took my cart?
- I'm sorry.
399
01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:13,095
- Why do you need a pump?
- Just for fun, I'm just...
400
01:03:27,400 --> 01:03:33,815
...three, four, five, six,
seven, eight, nine, ten.
401
01:03:35,280 --> 01:03:38,335
Where did you disappear to again?
You thought I wouldn't notice?
402
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:43,615
Where were you? I told you not
to wander around alone.
403
01:03:46,800 --> 01:03:49,775
- Went to buy pantyhose again?
- Maija, please forgive me.
404
01:03:50,280 --> 01:03:53,095
- I didn't tear them on purpose.
- You took my pantyhose?
405
01:03:53,600 --> 01:03:57,575
- I'll buy you new ones.
- Then you took the Bible with the money.
406
01:04:02,520 --> 01:04:08,055
- Thief! Where were you hiding the Bible?
- It's good that the Bible is gone.
407
01:04:08,560 --> 01:04:11,615
Otherwise, your mother will go to prison
because she has a forbidden book.
408
01:04:11,820 --> 01:04:15,235
Stupid brat! You're just jealous.
Your father drinks everything,
409
01:04:15,400 --> 01:04:18,615
that's why you have nothing!
And your parents are divorcing!
410
01:04:18,820 --> 01:04:20,855
Paula?
411
01:04:23,520 --> 01:04:26,975
Your mother took it all away.
She went off with a man.
412
01:04:27,220 --> 01:04:30,855
- I saw her with a single man...
- Liar! My mom is working!
413
01:04:31,360 --> 01:04:33,275
- She's not working!
- Stop it!
414
01:04:33,480 --> 01:04:35,656
I went to the People's Front at
night, but she wasn't there.
415
01:04:35,680 --> 01:04:38,120
Stop, you fools!
416
01:04:39,840 --> 01:04:41,295
Stop it!
417
01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:45,575
I tore the stickers off!
418
01:04:47,520 --> 01:04:51,015
It was an accident.
Honestly, I did it by mistake!
419
01:04:51,560 --> 01:04:54,855
I'm going to the Popular Front
to look for mom. Laura!
420
01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:06,535
It's warm.
421
01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:10,295
No, it's not raining.
422
01:05:11,320 --> 01:05:13,575
Yes, we eat well.
423
01:05:15,080 --> 01:05:16,895
Ieva?
424
01:05:18,600 --> 01:05:22,735
- Ieva is at work.
- Say hi to her for me, and be good.
425
01:05:23,240 --> 01:05:26,255
Okay, we'll be good.
426
01:05:26,760 --> 01:05:32,695
But, mom, me and Laura...
We don't want you to...
427
01:05:33,520 --> 01:05:38,455
Even so. Your father and I, we're adults.
428
01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:40,415
Bye then.
429
01:05:40,920 --> 01:05:43,735
Laura, get your things together,
we're going home.
430
01:05:49,280 --> 01:05:52,495
- There's no one waiting for you there.
- Laura, let's go!
431
01:06:07,040 --> 01:06:10,495
- Ninny!
- Stop! I know what I'm doing.
432
01:06:12,220 --> 01:06:15,375
Besides, you don't have any ticket money.
433
01:07:02,440 --> 01:07:04,695
Champagne bottles won't be accepted.
434
01:08:07,880 --> 01:08:11,295
Don't worry, we'll be home soon.
435
01:08:44,920 --> 01:08:49,595
- Good evening.
- Baby girl, come in.
436
01:08:50,360 --> 01:08:55,455
- Would you take us to Riga?
- I'd love to.
437
01:08:55,960 --> 01:09:00,975
But my car hasn't run for five years.
438
01:09:04,240 --> 01:09:06,335
It's broken down.
439
01:09:09,760 --> 01:09:11,815
Sorry.
440
01:09:15,880 --> 01:09:19,935
Forgive us for the tires.
We didn't do it on purpose.
441
01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:31,895
We found a solution and
we called it the Baltic Way.
442
01:09:32,400 --> 01:09:37,095
The Baltic Way is not a threat.
It's the path chosen by the people.
443
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:40,975
Brothers and sisters in the east and west
444
01:09:41,440 --> 01:09:47,575
want to declare Hitler and
Stalin's agreement invalid.
445
01:09:48,160 --> 01:09:55,055
The Soviet Union annexed Estonia,
Latvia and Lithuania illegally.
446
01:10:02,240 --> 01:10:06,295
They said mother and the rest of
the crowd went to the Baltic chain.
447
01:10:09,800 --> 01:10:14,415
Our Father who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
448
01:10:15,800 --> 01:10:17,775
Thy kingdom come,
449
01:10:19,240 --> 01:10:23,575
Thy will be done, on Earth
as it is in Heaven.
450
01:10:25,600 --> 01:10:29,055
Give us this day our daily bread.
451
01:10:29,560 --> 01:10:34,215
And forgive us our trespasses, as we
forgive those who trespass against us.
452
01:10:36,680 --> 01:10:41,375
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
453
01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:49,655
For yours is the kingdom, the power,
and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.
454
01:12:46,560 --> 01:12:49,215
To every injustice and oppression
there comes an end.
455
01:12:49,720 --> 01:12:52,935
The spirit of freedom is
stronger than slavery.
456
01:12:53,440 --> 01:12:56,535
Sooner or later the truth
of every lie is revealed.
457
01:12:57,120 --> 01:13:01,095
Let's take a closer look at each
other, look each other in the eye.
458
01:13:01,600 --> 01:13:04,615
Unity overcomes all.
459
01:13:05,360 --> 01:13:09,935
The days and years pass. Much
disappears, but it's not forgotten.
460
01:13:10,960 --> 01:13:16,375
The Baltic Way and the Baltic Chain is
the beginning, like a ray of sunshine.
461
01:13:18,160 --> 01:13:23,855
Let us always remember this
even when we're alone and weak.
462
01:13:24,320 --> 01:13:26,175
Let us remember this
463
01:13:26,680 --> 01:13:30,135
when compassion is needed,
to help each other.
464
01:13:49,240 --> 01:13:52,615
FOR FREEDOM
465
01:14:41,960 --> 01:14:47,695
...waiting for the consequences.
This time they've gone too far.
466
01:14:48,160 --> 01:14:51,615
The future of the Baltic peoples is
in grave danger. People need to know
467
01:14:52,160 --> 01:14:55,575
the abyss nationalist leaders
are pushing them toward.
468
01:14:56,520 --> 01:15:00,855
If they achieve their goal, the
consequences will be catastrophic
469
01:15:01,320 --> 01:15:06,535
and their existence in question.
470
01:15:07,800 --> 01:15:14,175
The Baltic peoples, all Soviet nations
must understand this clearly.
471
01:15:17,720 --> 01:15:20,215
What did the man say?
472
01:15:20,720 --> 01:15:23,535
He said in simple words
that the war has begun.
473
01:15:24,920 --> 01:15:28,855
- What about us now?
- Move! Don't get your nose shot off!
474
01:15:29,400 --> 01:15:33,495
- We're a team now!
- See? Just like the professionals.
475
01:16:25,840 --> 01:16:28,495
Girl! Girl!
476
01:16:40,360 --> 01:16:42,015
Paula!
477
01:16:58,160 --> 01:17:00,135
Thank you, sweetheart.
478
01:17:43,360 --> 01:17:46,815
Have you gone crazy?
You think you're a hero?
479
01:17:50,000 --> 01:17:53,055
I'm calling the militia now!
480
01:17:56,600 --> 01:17:59,895
I made you sugar water,
to calm you down.
481
01:19:02,240 --> 01:19:05,135
Freedom Street
482
01:20:27,120 --> 01:20:30,775
Mom, Dad, Laura!
483
01:20:37,720 --> 01:20:41,215
Mom, Dad, Laura!
484
01:21:30,680 --> 01:21:32,735
Maija, don't do it.
485
01:21:42,760 --> 01:21:47,455
Tomorrow we'll put in a new
window, and then we'll paint.
486
01:21:47,960 --> 01:21:52,295
Let's go home!
Okay, Paula?
487
01:22:23,680 --> 01:22:31,680
Almost two years later, on August 21, 1991,
Latvia became independent.
