Come, this way!

We have to cross.

We'll never make it in time. It's too deep for me.

Dad said if we get caught, don't forget to say the Sh'ma.

We're not getting caught, Moishe.

In a few hours, they'll all be dead. Mom, Dad, the boys...

Stop it!

Stop!

Hold it together.

Lights to the left!

Those Jewish rats must be hiding here somewhere.

Shh!

They're still in the woods.

Move out, single file.

Check the bushes and trees!

We have to get to her house before sunrise.

Are you all right?

Sara, say something!

Sara!

Say something!

- We have to leave. - Is that what she told you?

No. But she's so nervous she's shaking...

I know she's going to turn us in.

They can tell I'm Jewish, but not you.

You'll have a better chance without me...

But then what would you do the next time you had to swim across a river?

Let's just go.

Let's wait until dark.

You're right...

I'm sorry, brother.

Grisha. A little more of that one and then move on.

Okay, okay. I hear you.

Ukrainians.

I'm looking for work.

Huh.

You're not from around here?

No.

Jew?

No.

Ah.

Wait there.

I take you to my brother's, hm?

They have two little kids and just got rid of their nanny.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

She's looking for work.

No papers.

What's your name?

- Many a. - Many a what?

Romanchuk.

- Where are you from? - Korets.

- A lot Jews in Korets. - I'm not.

Get off the wagon!

Jew earlobes.

Make the sign of the cross.

How old are you?

14.

Why aren't you with your family?

My mother died when I was 11.

Last year, my father married a woman from Bogdanovka.

She slapped me for nothing

and then tell lies to him about me.

In May, she had her own baby, and it got worse.

Everything.

You want her or not?

No pay.

Just food and a roof over your head.

You are lucky you showed up on Sunday.

It's pork.

You love pork or are you just hungry?

Both.

Too bad. It's the last of it.

Forgive me, Jesus, for thy dear son.

The ill that I this day have done.

Many a?

Come in here.

The ill that I this day have done.

That with the word, myself,

and thee,

I...

E'er I sleep.

E'er I sleep.

At peace may be.

At peace may be.

Now into bed.

Many a too.

You sleep in the barn.

I'll do it.

Many a?

Clean yourself up.

Germans came last month for our animals.

I got word early, thank god,

and hid our best stock in the forest.

The rest I had to leave for those sons of bitches.

Many a, Many a, save me!

After you're finished,

he's taking you to Korets to get your papers.

All right.

This will take us all day.

I'm really sorry.

I left in a hurry.

And what will you tell your father?

I don't know.

I'm worried.

- About what? - He'll be angry.

He might start trouble and not let me go back with you.

Keep moving!

You know her?

Of course not.

But it's awful what's happening.

God help them.

Save your prayers.

Have you no faith?

Faith?

It died with my first wife and daughter.

What kind of girl leaves her own family, hm?

I have no family.

My mother was everything to me.

What am I doing here?

We will go another time.

- What are you doing? - It's a waste of time.

I can't lose the day for nothing.

It's not nothing. Get her back to the wagon.

Shut your mouth! I'm not talking about it.

How am I supposed to keep up with my quota

when they took almost all my animals?

Go cry to him and see if he gives a fuck.

Starting next week, bring in four more sacks of wheat.

Because I asked a question?

You're not that important. It's for everyone.

Now get the hell out of here!

Come, come, we have potatoes.

Potatoes for everybody.

Go.

Maybe we can make some money today.

The soldiers look like their pockets are full.

Your little one's gotten so big.

And already a devil.

This is our new girl.

So nice to meet you.

I'm Vira Ivanenko.

I'm Many a Romanchuk.

Where are you from, Many a?

Korets.

Welcome. We can always use more bright young people.

Please.

Thank you.

How much?

For my dear soldier... Twenty.

Eight.

Ten?

I'll give you ten-

I'll give you shit!

Think you can rob us, you filthy Ukrainian?

You can take the whole basket.

But ask anyone.

My wife makes the best wheat loaves in the district.

And next week, we won't be here.

These will be the last you will ever eat.

Ten.

Thank you.

I need to see Katya's new baby before she leaves.

We are still bidding.

For god's sake, she's my best friend.

15 minutes.

Go find her.

Get out!

Hey, hey.

Hey.

Damn it, Grisha.

I can't believe it's been three months.

You're a smart girl.

I could tell as soon as Ivan brought you.

You just missed my friend Marina.

She was here with her aunt who used to live in Korets

and knew your family.

They'll be back next week!

That's wonderful.

"ANYONE WHO SHELTERS OR ASSISTS JEWS OR PARTISANS WILL BE SUBJECT TO IMMEDIATE EXECUTION."

Six grams left.

Six grams till the end of this fucking war.

Hear about the peasant girl in Morasivka?

She picked up a coat left by one of the Jews,

and found nine diamonds sewn inside the lining.

A drop in the bucket compared

to what those parasites stole from us.

You can't go to church like that.

I don't wear this anymore.

You can take up the hem.

That man respects nothing.

Even on Sundays, he rolls in the dirt like a pig.

- Nadya. - Nadya.

Many a.

Many a.

Who are you?

Vidya.

Are you a Jew?

I'm just hungry.

Wait up there.

Thank you.

Where are you from?

Rivne.

But I can't go back.

I'm looking for somewhere to stay.

I have gold coins.

Don't show them.

Not to anyone.

They will know you're a Jew.

I am not a Jew.

Make the sign of the cross.

Like this.

Right, left.

Oh, yeah.

Can you say the "Hail Mary"?

You have to know it.

Say it after me.

Mother of God and Virgin rejoice.

Mother of God and

Virgin

rejoice.

Mary full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Mary full of grace...

The Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou amongst women

and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.

Blessed is the...

If you want to live, you have to learn it.

But it will be all right. No one thinks I'm Jewish.

No one. - Well, you can't stay here.

I am Mirarra Dubner.

I'm Many a Romanchuk.

Hey!

Do you have time to see her?

Just say hello. We are not here to visit.

Marina!

This is Many a.

Thank you for coming.

Aunt Kati!

Aunt Kati!

Mm?

This is Many a Romanchuk from Korets!

No.

She was only seven or eight when you left!

She's changed!

- Don't you remember- - Louder.

Don't you remember?

You made a doll's dress for my fifth birthday.

No dress!

No dress!

I was much shorter then.

No!

She's getting worse and worse.

She can't even be left alone anymore.

I hoped she'd recognize your face.

How long was I asleep?

I don't know.

Let's play hide and seek!

Hide and seek, hide and seek!

Okay.

Let's hide.

One.

Two.

Three.

Okay.

It's starting to freeze at night.

You can sleep in the house.

Many a?

What were you saying when you fell asleep in the woods?

I don't know. Sounds like Chinese.

The roof's leaking worse.

Tomorrow I'm going to the sawmill to get new shingles.

You should take the boys.

You know how much they love it there.

The Germans are surrounded in Stalingrad.

It will be over for them soon.

So the old goat at the sawmill has a radio?

You'll see. The Germans will find it and kill him.

Maybe the krauts aren't as clever as we think.

Everyone out of the house!

Get dressed!

Or we'll burn it down.

I said everyone out!

Faster!

Hurry up, bitch!

They cry like little girls.

Give me a couple of months,

I'll turn them into real partisans.

Get inside. Go.

Go, go! Go!

Where's the meat?

We've got only a root cellar.

Don't lie to me you greedy bastard!

We've got potatoes, carrots in bags.

40 kilos. You take every...

This one-eyed Jew would love to blow a hole in your thick Ukrainian head. Understood?

Got it.

We're wasting time, he can join his fucking dog.

It's the truth!

Shoot him!

I'll take you!

I KNEW it!

You two, follow me.

Lying pig!

Leave that piece of shit. We'll be back.

Move out.

You can thank your almighty God we're not Germans.

They wouldn't have left you a damn thing.

Let's go.

Stay together.

Come inside.

In a minute.

You had to open your mouth?

I thought they were going to kill him.

We didn't take you into our house to think.

They were not going to kill him.

They want to keep coming back for more food.

I can't stand looking at your face.

This was a much kinder death.

I don't like rabbit.

Learn to.

I can't!

Complain to Many a.

It's Ivan.

He can barely stand up.

Your big brother strike gold.

Ah!

But he doesn't forget his own blood.

Where did you get them?

Where are you hiding your vodka, huh?

Show some hospitality.

Hah!

Where'd you get them?

From the prettiest little Jew you've ever seen.

It wasn't easy getting into her, but,

Christ, I have never had a better fuck.

Boys, out. Out!

You come to my house to talk like that

in front of my children?

Sorry there wasn't a piece left for you.

But she...

"Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!"

But she wouldn't stop squealing.

Hey, hey, hey, hey! - You sick son a bitch!

Eh!

Excuse me.

Do you know what's happening?

I think so.

It comes every month.

Are you cramping?

A little.

This will help.

When you're feeling better, we need more kindling.

You got me.

We've been searching for this for weeks.

The idiot pilot couldn't locate our signal, so,

he just dropped it and left.

I'm sorry about your dog.

Why did he have to shoot her?

Because he's a bastard.

No one can stomach him.

I don't care. I want to join you.

I don't think he would allow it.

Ask him.

There is talk he is leaving

to organize another partisan unit.

Maybe you can join them.

Have you killed the Germans?

How many?

Not enough.

The big one with the eye patch. He's a Jew?

The Bear.

His real name is Kapinski.

But I'm afraid he's not going to be around much longer.

Why not?

His hatred is too strong.

He takes too many risks.

Are you a Jew, too?

Do you have to be Jewish to hate Germans?

It's not so easy to kill another human being.

It must be.

If it wasn't, why is the forest filled

with so many dead bodies?

There's the rest of my squad looking for the drop.

You better go.

Boris. Boris!

- Welcome! - Welcome!

Grandpa!

Whatever happened between you two is in the past.

You don't know what he did.

What he said in front of my children.

I don't care.

You are brothers.

Pavlo!

It's Malanka.

A new year.

Please.

For me.

With war all around us,

we know this new year will bring times of pain and sorrow.

So let us vow to savor all the more the special moments

of joy...

And pleasure.

Cheers!

Let's get some fresh air, you and me.

Sit.

Have you seen them together?

Her and...

My nephew.

No.

Lie to me and I'll hang you by the feet

and slit your throat.

I've never seen them.

Do you swear on the soul of your dead mother?

I swear.

Is this how your greet your Queen Malanka?

With drunken insults?

You will show my friends more respect,

if you know what's good for you.

And where is the Jew?

Here is the Jew!

Let's go!

Let's go!

I bless this house with good health and prosperity.

Happy new year!

He asked me about you and Grisha,

when we were at his parents' house.

What did he wanna know?

If I'd seen you with him.

And what did you say?

I said I didn't.

You wouldn't lie to me?

Ever?

Everyone lies.

Even Grisha?

Especially him.

What are your sins, my child?

Go on.

I...

I lied to the man who took me into his home and-

And?

What?

Is that all?

And I...

In confession,

you must open your heart completely.

Sir, everything's ready.

Good. We start at sunrise.

- Do you remember what to do? - Yes.

Go only at night.

Stay off the roads.

And if you are caught...

don't forget to say the Sh'ma.

Take care of your little sister...

As soon as you get under the fence, don't forget to rip off the stars.

And don't just drop them, hide them where they can't be found!

Do you understand me?

I'm not going, I'm staying with you...

If the old lady won't take you in, remind her she agreed to...

I'm not leaving!

Your father paid her a lot of money.

You have to survive.

It will be our revenge.

Mama...

Do whatever you must. Do you promise me?

Say it!

I promise.

Go.

Don't think badly of me.

She must have told you about me.

And the girl before you.

No.

Then why are you scared of me?

I'm not scared.

Good.

Don't let her get to you.

She's jealous because you are prettier than she is.

No, I'm not.

I think you are.

What animal am I thinking of?

A cow. Moo!

No.

An owl. Hoo, hoo!

- An owl isn't an animal. - Yes, it is!

- Many a, is it an- - Danylo, cover his eyes.

"I HID JEWS"

Are you all right?

This will bring the fever down.

What did you think when you saw them?

Hanging.

It was like an awful dream.

It didn't seem real.

I'd do anything to protect my children.

Anything.

I'm not a Jew.

I'll leave in the morning, if that's what you want.

Pavlo would have a fit.

And that would hurt the boys too much.

Did he try anything with you?

No.

My mother

said I had to marry him

when I turned 15.

My father died, we were starving.

And he had his own farm.

You know nothing about me.

I know you're as strong as he is.

Absolutely not.

The partisans are for men.

Hardened men.

Not girls like you.

Do you think you could kill another human being?

You wouldn't be capable of it.

You don't know what I'm capable of.

You are a Jew, aren't you?

How do you know our prayers and rituals so well?

My best friend in school begged me to stay

when the Brits came in for religious class.

We'd sat together since we were six.

Your friend is Many a-

- Romanchuk. - Romanchuk.

Do you realize the danger you are bringing on the family?

And those two little boys.

That's why I have to join the resistance.

You'd never survive, my child.

I would.

I have to.

I promised my mother.

God bless you, and you, my son.

God bless you.

It's Stepan's birthday.

How old are you?

Let me guess. 12?

I am four.

You are sure?

Then God bless you, Step an,

with health, long life and great happiness.

God bless you.

God bless you.

- Many a! - Many a!

Come in! - Come in!

I can't swim.

I'll hold you.

Go ahead.

Many a, come in!

Come in!

Come in!

Relax.

Relax.

Trust me. Relax.

Relax.

Trust me.

Everyone out!

No.

No, please. No.

I... I need my horse to finish plowing, please.

If you approach me again, you'll be shot!

No, no.

Sir.

In case you are hungry,

there is fresh bread and cheese and also

a bottle of homemade vodka.

I know, I know. We are not supposed to have it, but-

Are you trying to bribe me?

You miserable piece of shit.

Put it in my car.

Leave the cow!

Thank you, sir.

Let's get out of here.

Thank you.

Thank you, sir.

This is insane!

Go ask Ivan for his horses!

I'm not crawling to him for anything.

Why didn't the Germans take his animals?

He was tipped off.

I guess he didn't have time to tell his own brother, though.

Enough!

Many a, hit her.

Harder!

Harder!

Come on!

Come on!

- Go, Lula! - Come on, go!

Go!

Go!

Lula, come on!

Let's work.

Push! Come on!

Come on, come on.

Come on!

What?

Come on.

Stupid animal. Stupid...

This is never gonna work.

Many a!

Water.

It's late.

I'm taking them to bed.

We haven't finished.

Are you coming back?

Unhook it.

Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you.

Before we plant...

For good luck.

Grisha should come over and...

And fuck you right here.

Oh, you filthy, pathetic old man!

Let's go, come on.

At least your family's good for something.

They are good for a lot of things.

Who did it?

Who did it?

Pavlo, you thought it was some kind of god damn joke?

Have you gone crazy? What are you talking about?

Uh-huh. It's just the kind of shit you'd pull.

It was him. He did it.

Whatever it was.

Did you do this?

Stop right there, you little cunt!

You wanna die?

Get a hold of yourself.

What are you gonna do about her?

What do you want me to do?

Get rid of her.

No.

Get in the wagon!

You leave now, you get no help from any of us!

What should I expect from a man

who can't even control his own wife?

What was that?

Shh.

Partisans.

Look.

They are close.

I hope they killed the Germans who stole our animals.

They stole from us, too.

The night...

In the barn?

You and you... Go around back!

Everyone out!

- What happened? - Shut up!

My children!

Shh, shh, shh.

Go, go, go, go.

Mom!

Dad!

Ivan!

Last night, an army checkpoint was attacked,

and two of our soldiers killed.

The Fuhrer, Adolf Hitler, has decreed

that in all occupied territories, for every German soldier

murdered by partisan bandits...

10 civilians shall be executed.

Proceed!

Come.

Colonel?

Let him go.

Detail ready!

Aim!

Fire!

Leave them where they are!

You can watch them rot!

Do you miss your brothers and sisters?

I don't have any brothers or sisters.

I've told you before.

But do you miss them?

No, I don't miss them.

What do you miss?

I don't miss anything.

I didn't want to say this in the house.

She asks too many questions.

What is it?

The Americans and the British have landed in France,

and the Russian army is closing in.

Know what that means?

Yes.

There's something else,

I never asked you about.

That day in the field with you and Ivan...

Was it because of what he did to the Jewish girl?

Yes.

German soldiers. Hundreds of them.

They're being attacked by Russian planes.

We need to get underground!

Faster, faster!

Okay.

I'm Sara.

My name is Sara Gralnik.

I have to go home.

To Korets?

Is there anyone even left?

Maybe a brother.

It's not safe.

Russians are bigger animals than Germans.

I'll be fine.

Goodbye, Danylo.

So you do have brothers?

Yes.

Goodbye, Step an.

Can you come back?

Maybe.

Hey!

Wait! Where are you going?

To Berlin!

Please wait!

I need help!

Don't leave me!

Kapinski!

I'm a Jew!

What are you doing?

Stop the car.
