ENGINEER RADLOV AND HIS WIFE PHOTOGRAPH THEIR DAUGHTER LIZA

YEARS PASSED. AFTER HIS WIFE'S DEATH, RADLOV LIVED WITH LIZA, AND GRUNYA - THEIR MAID

You can't bring Mama back, Liza.

They're leaving...

We'll go as well.

To the West?

I promised, didn't I?

Yes, Papa.

It's the records!

Good day.

Have you come to see Papa? I'll call him.

Papa, there's someone to see you.

Ah, Johann.

You brought it?

No.

But...

I've come to see Grunya.

Grunya?

GRUNYA WAS JOHANN'S SISTER, BUT SHE KEPT THIS A SECRET AS SHE KNEW HER BROTHER'S DEALS.

That's it.

Good day.

So that's what you're up to in here Mr Kohl.

You won't fool me this time!

I've seen everything! Everything!

I won't permit it!

I didn't rent you the studio for that!

There are respectable people living here! There's no room for your kind!

I, I...

Wait.

Putilov.

You brought it?

What?

Leave the camera.

VIKTOR IVANOVICH SOLD THE PHOTOGRAPHS THAT WERE TAKEN IN JOHANN'S STUDIO.

What do you want?

Don't ever come here.

What?

Who's in there?

Daria, who's there?

It's for me.

Go away.

Please.

- And the money? - You'll get the money later.

Later.

Go away.

Daria.

Yes.

Who was it?

It was for me - a relative from my village.

But why come through the main entrance?

Yekaterina Kirillovna, it's the last time, it won't happen again.

Kolya, you sing the lead, and...

What have you got there?

A relative from my village came.

Right, from the beginning, with the introduction.

Tolya, pay more attention - you keep cutting in on the lead.

Kolya, don't hurry.

Boys, have you seen my stethoscope?

Andrei, can't you see that we're rehearsing?

Katenka, forgive me,

but I have the appointments and no stethoscope.

Are you going then?

I'll be back for supper.

YEKATERINA KIRILLOVNA DID NOT LOVE HER HUSBAND. ONLY THE ADOPTED CHILDREN FORCED HER TO CARRY ON.

Right, again, from the beginning...

Excuse me, have you come to see us?

No.

Liza.

Good day, Liza.

- Is Papa home? - Yes, in the study.

Thank you.

Liza,

Nikolai Nikolayevich is waiting for you.

Liza, meet Putilov.

...undoubtedly the cinematograph, and don't argue about that, my friend!

The cinematograph may become a real art form,

that very same art form for the people of which you speak.

Not painting, not literature, not photography,

but the cinematograph will open up the truth to the commons.

You saw what effect moving pictures have on common people.

So your photography will die out.

After a while you'll see how everything will change.

We're on the verge of something major, something new.

The cinematograph is only the beginning.

Excuse me.

Please, Grunya.

It won't be long now.

Liza is already grown...

Grunya.

What was that?

They're putting water in the steam engines.

Do you like photographs?

That must be the records.

Is that me?!

You brought it.

It's my gift to you.

It's turned out well.

It's a present.

Take it, take it.

It's me aged five.

TO BECOME A PHOTOGRAPHER, PUTILOV BORROWED MONEY, SO HE BECAME DEPENDENT ON JOHANN.

Putilov, you should go,

it's already late.

Yes-yes.

Could I photograph you?

Oh, leave me alone.

Take the boys to the cinematograph.

Johann readied himself to make a proposal.

Is Liza home?

Liza?

Grunya, who's there?

It's Johann.

But why through the main entrance?

Good day.

Never set foot in here again... Rascal!

Never let him in again!

Rascal!

In this village...

Here in this village my father was born -

your grandfather.

Whereas I was born in town, right here.

Where was Mama born?

Mama?

Andrei, it's for you.

Excuse me, I won't be a moment.

Speaking.

Yes, yes, Grunya, of course.

When?

Take a look.

Do nothing.

Do you have some ice?

It's disgusting.

Order some ice.

Have you got any more?

There are more.

Where is Liza?

Do you want to touch?

Go on.

Yes, Mama...

Mama was born here,

in this town.

Boys,

Engineer Radlov has had a stroke, so I must go.

Liza!

Wait, Liza!

Wait, Liza!

- Putilov, what an odor! - Liza.

Thank you, Semyon Markovich.

Excuse me for having troubled you.

We'll have to clarify certain points.

I'll telephone you.

I'm sure you'll be able to manage without me.

But I disagree with your decision.

Why are you up? The doctor said you mustn't.

I've made

a few changes to my will.

It will be a surprise for you.

It's a bit early for you

to be thinking about a will.

Let me show you what...

I found in Liza's cupboard.

Pictures?

Come on then, come on.

THE TWINS DIDN'T GIVE VIKTOR IVANOVICH ANY PEACE.

I told you, don't come here!

Quickly!

Is the master home?

He's not here.

The mistress is home.

Hurry up.

Where are you going?

Go away!

Go!

Mistress will see you,

and I'll be punished.

Please, what are you doing?

Go away.

- Where are the freaks? - What freaks?

Daria,

have you run a bath?

Daria?

Who's here?

Viktor Ivanovich.

Viktor Ivanovich?

Viktor Ivanovich.

Turn around.

Mama?!

What do you want?

Viktor Ivanovich.

YEKATERINA KIRILLOVNA FELL IN LOVE FOR THE FIRST TIME.

(sREQUIEM)

Amendment of the 17th May, this year.

Elizaveta Radlova will receive her inheritance if she marries such person

as she, Elizaveta Radlova, of her own free will shall deem fit.

Until such time my will over

all my assets, monies, and the like,

will be administered by an appointed trustee,

Grunya Bosykh, who shall act as my agent.

Writ down on 17th May, this year in sound mind and good health.

THE ENGINEER WANTED GRUNYA TO REPLACE LIZA'A MOTHER.

Liza, I will save you.

Putilov, you should go, it's already late.

Yes, yes.

Liza!

Good day.

Good day.

This way.

That's it.

Nanny!

What? What do you want?

This is my nanny!

Leave me alone! Go away! Go away!

Hello, Liza.

Putilov, you should be on your way.

Yes-Yes.

BEHIND JOHANN'S BACK, VIKTOR IVANOVICH STARTED HIS OWN BUSINESS.

Ready?

Hello.

A cinematograph!

- May I use it to photograph? - Film.

I need a dark room.

- Yes, it's me. - What do you want?

No church wedding.

Grunya!

Make sure it's the same as at the pictures.

Go on!

Nanny!

What, have you soiled yourself?

Don't you know that it's naughty?

As it's your first time I won't punish you too severely.

There, my dear, let that be a lesson to you.

Liza, I'll save you!

It's too late, Putilov.

Liza, I'll save you.

LIZA BECAME A WOMAN FOR THE FIRST TIME.

Where are they? Where are they?

Where are they?

Where are they?

Where are they?

Tell me! Tell me!

It's Doctor Stasov.

Are you hiding something?

VIKTOR IVANOVICH HATED AND FEARED JOHANN.

They sing.

Go on!

Make the bald one leave.

What?!

My freaks will live here for the time being.

Here?

- What is it? - Drink it.

I won't.

Drink it, freak.

Find Putilov.

Forgive us, please,

Tolya isn't like that really.

Tolya?

And who are you?

I'm Kolya, what's your name?

Liza.

Nanny!

What's that?

I hate this town.

MONTHS PASSED. LIZA SHARED HER ROOM WITH THE TWINS. KOLYA WAS IN LOVE WITH HER. TOLYA DRANK.

If you always travel towards the West, the sun never sets.

If you travel fast?

We're travelling East - that's where Papa was born.

He'll find us.

Check.

I've brought you some wine.

- Where's Mama? - She left with the doctor.

That's not true!

Well! Go on then!

Tolya, don't drink it!

Just a drop.

What?!

Liza.

Come on freaks!

Let's go.

Nanny!

What, have you soiled yourself?

Don't you know that it's naughty?

- Viktor Ivanovich?! - Viktor Ivanovich.

Let's go then.

Hurry up.

Viktor Ivanovich?

- Let's go. - Where?

- Who's there? - It's okay, it won't take long.

That's it. Stand here.

Viktor Ivanovich.

Go on.

Get on your knees.

Nanny!

I hate him.

I hate him.

I hate this dead town,

I hate carrots with sour cream.

Liza!

I'm sorry.

Do you think I'm a freak as well?

Of course not! You're very nice.

I disgust you, I know. It's because of Tolya, isn't it?

Because we're always together.

But I'm normal.

I saw Papa's books.

It doesn't happen like that.

To love a woman, you don't have to whip her with a cane.

I know how, I'll show you.

Liza, try, please!

Tolya's asleep. Just once!

He won't hear a thing.

Try!

You may never have another chance!

I love you.

LIZA BECAME A WOMAN FOR THE SECOND TIME.

Putilov.

Putilov.

Liza.

My nanny's died.

Nanny!

So, freaks?!

It's over!

THE TWINS WERE LEAVING FOR THE EAST.

Come with us!

I'm going to the West.

All aboard.

We'll come to you, we'll find Papa and then come.

Cast off.

I'll be waiting!

THE FAMOUS DOCTOR AND PHYSICIAN ANDREI STASOV, WAS BORN IN THIS HOUSE

Papa.

Where are the freaks!

Gentlemen, as promised, the singing freaks are here today!

Tolya, just a little further.

Why did you have to drink!

Just a minute!

How are you? Better?

Will you be able to sing?

Quickly, open up!

Tolya, wake up,

Tolya, Tolya, Tolya, wake up!

Open up now!

Wake up Tolya. We've got to go.

Get up, Tolya, come on.

Did you hear me, open up now!

Tolya, we've got a perfomance! Get up!

Open the door, freak!

Come on, Tolya, wake up!

Get up, Tolya!

LIZA WAS GOING TO THE WEST.

Would you like some music? I recommend it.

Putilov!

JOHANN VISITED THE CINEMATOGRAPH.

F. PUTILOV

PUNISHMENT FOR A CRIME
