Crew 12 Commander, this is Houston.

We see a comet on the monitors.

We hear you, Houston. Yes, we see it and we're watching it.

Making wishes.

I hope your wishes are decent.

Well, I can't speak for everyone but personally,

I hope that I will taste my mom's borscht before this year is over.

Commander, how did you know? Your mom requested communication.

Connecting.

Sonny, hi, it's me. We're doing fine.

Aunt Liuba has finally sold her summer cottage.

We've had a little party and your father went all out.

They have given us the cupboard, the one made of ash where you once fell asleep,

do you remember?

Mommy, 200 people can hear us.

So what? Is it embarrassing? Let them know.

Monalisa gave birth to kittens in the washing machine,

and I almost spun them with the linen.

Meanwhile, Grandma Toma asked if she could send you a parcel...

Thank you, thank you, Valiusha.

Don't make anything, just come to us, that's all.

You know I don't cook too much these days.

A bit of this, a bit of that.

By the way, Zhenka came from Kyiv. Yes, a bit of a surprise.

My regards to the godfather.

Vitalina Ivanivna, did you call me?

Yes, please.

Nadia Lvivna.

With your permission and without long preludes,

according to instruction, you are subject to dismissal.

The documents have already been formalized.

- Yes, Ira, hello. - Hi, Olia.

I hear some annoyance in your voice.

What's happened?

Sofia said she would spend the night at Margo's place.

However, as far as I can tell,

she wasn't with Margo or at home last night. Her phone's off.

Oh my gosh. My girl is at home but Sofia hasn't been here.

Okay, got it.

Hold on.

Oops! Here you go!

Guys, you're honestly all kinds of strange.

Mom, Dad and I decided not to wait until the evening to raise your spirits.

Well, we'll have a toast and wishes later on at dinner.

In short, this is for you.

Oh, what have you been up to?

Well, many happy returns, Mother.

You are our Master Chef!

A goddess of borscht! What else?

Come on, wine and dine.

Well, may I open it?

Stick these pans up your asses.

But Mom... they're not just pans. It's a German brand.

A collab with a Michelin-starred chef,

plus anti-stick technology.

Who cares if they're gold-plated?

I've spent my whole life next to this oven.

Once I've cooked breakfast, I must wash the dishes.

Once I've washed the dishes, it's time to cook lunch.

So I cook lunch and wash everything up again.

But then it's time to prepare dinner!

Round and round.

An endless cycle!

All my life, round and round!

Am I a maid to you?

I'm not a wage worker!

It's because of a list. You're not the only one targeted.

The system's laying off anyone whose job can be automated.

The bank is shifting to a new model.

This is rather strange.

I've been working with this company for more than a decade.

We don't just need loyalty.

Efficiency is important to business, not emotions.

But still, it's not just the system.

It's a choice.

And it's you who's made this choice, right?

Yes, I did.

As a reminder, you must work two more weeks as per your contract.

This is a statement that you have no claims against the bank.

Sign here and here.

Andriy Markovych, the deadlines are unreal.

We can't realistically achieve them.

I've been in the construction business for nearly 40 years,

and I've seen a lot of things.

The City of Magicians in the Carpathians

is certainly cool, but there are realities.

Which ones?

We cannot drill there.

What do you propose?

I expect concrete ways to tackle this issue,

not a list of limitations.

The Norwegian bores are already at Customs.

Documents are being formalized.

You'll have new tools in a week.

But what do they know in Norway?

Just let them come here and try to drill something in our rock.

Five months left until the project launch.

Look for a solution, not a comfort zone.

By the way, who prepared the calculations?

I did, Andriy Markovych.

Almost every proposal here is overestimated.

Either come to an agreement...

Excuse me, Andriy Markovych.

They tried to get you on the phone and found the office number.

Why have you blown up so quickly?

You're like a match.

Another one, see?

Interested in nothing but fishing.

Fishing rods, spinnings.

Bloodworms!

Just look at my hands.

Am I some maritime fleet cook to you?

My hands have been damaged by that fish.

I don't even know what else to cook with it.

Humanity has simply not invented enough recipes.

Look!

Fried, stewed, baked,

rolled, smoked, salted, dried fish,

sun-cured, stuffed fish!

We gorge on so much phosphorus

that we will begin to glow soon.

Mom, don't start, please.

I am 50...

but I've only traveled out of our region twice.

First, it was to Uman when Zhenka visited it with his school.

The second time was when we went to Mykolaiv

for a rehab of that person.

I haven't seen Kyiv though.

It takes just five trifling hours to drive there.

But still we don't go

because "Who will we leave our dogs with?"

We would leave them with the hand of God.

Why can't we ask our neighbors?

Okay, everything is canceled.

Valia, your godfather and godmother,

and everyone else can tell their stories walking.

Mom, we're going to Kyiv.

There will be a clear night tomorrow, so don't send your children to bed early.

Show them a comet, hug them, make tea,

give your nearest and dearest warmth and heavenly cosmic magic.

Uh-huh, thank you.

Don't thank me.

It's 10:45 in Kyiv. Let's fly!

Lux FM. No. 1 entertainment radio.

Does she have yellow hair?

No, but I don't have a white felt-tip pen.

And if you used a green one, she would be a forest nymph.

She would be someone else's mommy, and my mommy looks like this.

Maybe it'd be cool.

Even cooler than taking a bear out of a claw machine.

Breaking news, Matvii is the luckiest person today.

According to our information, he is just about to get a real mother.

How do you feel?

Mmm, mic check.

Maybe like Robinson when he saw a ship for the first time.

It's far, far away, but it's surely sailing to you.

And waiting is already not so scary because that ship is definitely yours.

Matvii, yours has come.

I think you've lost an earring. Here, here.

You're right! Well, someone will be lucky to find some treasure.

How did you pick me?

Well, by your Zodiac sign

and the Chinese calendar.

I wanted a Scorpio born in the year of the tiger.

A-ha, a likely story.

And I'm an Aquarius.

- You're an Aquarius? - Yes!

Oh boy, that won't do.

I will have to apply to exchange you for a real Scorpio.

I'm joking.

To tell the truth, I didn't choose you in any way, you know.

It just happened by itself.

And will you scold me when we're living together?

Like, if I forget to brush my teeth.

Or you will still love me?

Well, if you don't listen to me

I will say, "I'm counting to three."

And if I listen to you? Will we take a walk like this every day?

Why not, whatever you like.

Awesome. So I'd be able to go to a skating rink.

Or to arcade machines. Or to derelict ships. Whatever I like.

Oh, I don't know anything about that.

It's a pirate theme for initiates. I'll tell you some day.

We can go to the Jellyfish Museum. That's cool too.

- A great plan! - Do you like it?

I do. And we'll also buy new earrings.

Beautiful ones with a yellow stone.

Okay, it's time to go, pirate. Or I'll count to three.

Go to your rooms.

I see you and Matvii. Well? Have the stars aligned?

Oh, Svitlana Petrivna,

I don't even know where to start.

How does it work! This damn thing! Damn thing, how do you work?

Please, allow me.

Oh, my God!

The engine said goodbye, didn't it?

Yes. It decided we were going on a break.

- Damn it. - Well, there are two options.

Pour a holy water on it or leave everything as it is.

Okay, I'll give you a ride to wherever you need. Get in.

Generally speaking, my mother's told me since childhood

not to get in strangers' cars.

Andriy, 52 years old.

Average height, Sagittarius.

Just show me a picture of your cat and we can go.

Well, I'll have to get a cat before you agree to go then.

Coming or not?

Where? You mean I should leave my car here?

It's like leaving a dog on the roadside.

I'll call a wrecker.

I'll even add sound all empathetic to seem convincing.

Let's ride. Pack your things and let's go.

Are you ever normal?

Well, on weekdays I am. And today is just Wednesday.

I'm just pretending to be strange so I don't frighten normal people.

All right then.

I hope that I'm not found in this forest tomorrow.

If in the forest, then with coffee and music.

Let's go.

Why did you decide to stop?

Oh, I am very hungry.

I saw some smoke and thought it must be a kebab house.

- Let's go... - Please, buckle up.

Yes, sure.

Nadia, you're a real hero.

You've been through every circle of hell

and obtained a heap of documents. It's a...

What can I say here? My thanks.

Please, don't exaggerate...

Don't belittle your efforts.

Well,

the director will sign his school progress record,

and then that'll be it.

You will just have to take the decisive step.

Svitlana, I...

I don't know...

What if I don't manage?

Nadia, it always happens.

Even the most composed people

have some sort of panic on their adoption day, you know.

It's okay.

Even the happiest brides flee their weddings.

And this step is no less important.

Everything in my life just seems to be unraveling.

What if I become another temporary person to him?

There were adults in his life already.

He looks at you like you're the sun.

You two have such a connection.

I've seen a lot in my life, and things like this are rare.

He's already chosen you.

I have some doubts.

I just don't want him to be hurt any more.

Excuse me, please...

Hey, listen, you got a smoke?

No, I'm a teacher. Sofia!

So we need to get papers to take a test?

Wait, wait, let me take out a blank map.

Has anybody seen Sofia?

Sofia!

Oops, it's my mother.

Salute.

Is this where the Spartans throw spoiled children?

Kyiv residents, like all people in Ukraine,

are getting ready to see the comet.

The best national DJs will play on the Singing Field.

There will be jazz on Poshtova Square,

and beautiful opera in the botanical garden...

- Okay, I'm going. - All right.

Phone me if you need something.

Please drop in sometimes, at least.

For lunch, for half an hour.

Okay, Mom.

Did you drag this all by yourself?

Drag?

I just moved it a bit.

It likes bright light.

Poor creature, all stretched out.

Mom, your dracaena plant is surely a sacred thing but...

if you keep dragging it across the room

you'll soon become just like it.

You know what I mean? Like this.

God forbid!

Call me, I will move the dracaena, and turn the sun...

You're so thoughtful.

Oh! There's something wrong with my laptop again.

Everything has disappeared.

Disappeared again?

A hacker attack on a Facebook page

with little roses and cats?

Mom, it's just the browser. It's minimized.

Everything's fine.

I told you to go study computer technology!

You didn't listen to me.

Who's writing to you?

GOOD MORNING, MY MUSE

Okay, Arturyk, close it.

Halyna Leontievna, I'll ask you once again,

who's this Leri Vinn?

A singer.

We communicate with each other.

He asks me what books I read, and what music I listen to.

He's nice, don't worry...

Let's close it.

Mom, please sit down.

This is a typical scam.

For example, just recently, one lady thought

she was talking to Brad Pitt but it was actually swindlers.

And she transferred 800,000 dollars to them.

They're stupid.

But I don't have 800,000 dollars.

Yes, hurry up or you'll be late.

Mom,

have you transferred any money to him?

No!

Mom...

The whole world is burning

yet my mom is looking for me at casual hang-outs.

You know what? I'll ask ChatGPT to tell me Marvel's contact details.

We have a superhero of a woman going to waste.

She deserves an entire franchise.

But it's my life. Understand?

I know.

I'm just the one who always appears when something bad can happen.

Even if you don't want me to.

Why did you think something bad could happen?

Mom, I don't need you to understand me, but I don't need taking care of.

I'm not a prisoner in a penal colony.

Well, the uniform would look great on you.

Black is your color.

You're mocking me. Of course.

Mom, I am not six.

You don't understand me. Nobody understands me.

You all have a common disease. Control.

Yes, we're all allergic to your stories

about hanging out with god-knows-who.

Mom,

do you really think this helps me?

When I'm forced into a car and driven somewhere for the hell of it.

You just want me to be the same as you.

You're so righteous.

Sofia, I want you to be just as you are.

But safe and sound.

Without getting blackout drunk, and without getting tattoos on your face.

And without some boy who looks like a serial killer.

Drink the tea, it's cold already.

Are they humans? They're pigs!

It's God hinting that I should fix myself a drink

and that Zhenka should get behind the wheel.

Just don't get your hopes up.

A drink!

So he has to replace the silent-blocks, so what?

Is it my fault that you've brought so many bags?

Seems like we're going to Kyiv

not for two days but to live there forever.

So yes, I left the spare wheel at home.

At least I haven't forgotten my tools.

Vitia, don't use this tone with me!

You didn't exactly "forget" your defective fishing rods.

You've made my blood pressure jump.

Don't worry, we'll be in Kyiv by nightfall.

Oh, I'm not worried!

I'm freaking out!

I don't know if I'm having my anniversary today

or if it's a preparation for the second coming.

Zhenia, grab me that knife from the glovebox.

Why do you need this knife?

To patch the tire.

We'll wait for 30 minutes then go.

It has to dry.

What is this?

Oh, dear!

Son, where did you find it? Put it back.

It's me right after school.

Before this guy fattened me up.

Why do you need this trash?

Listen, while we have some time,

I will go and cast my fishing rod.

Just imagine. Seriozhka Kurbet said he caught that big asp here.

Just look at him!

Did you intentionally get the flat tire?

Of course not! I just have some oil cake and bread left for fishing.

I'll just go and check if any are biting and I'll be back.

You always have something.

Oil cake, or bone break, or fever and shake.

As if fishing is the only thing that gives you life.

- Oh, I get it? - You get it?

I should've married Stas.

Oh, my God!

He has a law firm now.

He has traveled to Egypt.

But I chose you because of a beautiful last name.

I'm a fool, for sure.

Everyone, have you ever seen a fool? Here, take a look.

Why are you shouting?

There's nobody here.

Because I want to.

- Mom. - What?

Come here.

Sonny, stop it. Am I a part-time clown?

Mom, you look wonderful, really.

See, what a nice location. And the lighting is ideal.

Just let me take a couple of photos.

Stop it.

And this way. Oh, beautiful. Heavenly.

Not at all...

1430 hryvnias, then 1000 hryvnias.

Well, if it's not romance, then it's some sort of charity concert.

Surprisingly, all the payments were into the same account.

So what?

So what indeed.

So what? Just a retired lady transferring all her savings to a Mesozoic artist...

Mom,

it would be okay if you inherited a million dollars

from some Nigerian prince, I would understand that.

However, Mom, you can't do that.

You treat me as though I'm an absolute fool.

Do you think I cannot tell swindlers from normal people?

Mom,

whether he's the real Leri Vinn or a fake, it doesn't matter.

You are clearly being cheated for money.

Right. Arturyk, that's it. Don't lecture me on how to live. Bye.

Your order.

- Thank you. - Have a nice day.

Nadia, look what I've got.

It's only a dismissal, not the end of days.

Don't get hung up on this.

Go out on a date.

After my date yesterday, for example,

I felt ashamed as I passed by St. Volodymyr Church.

Well, what about that kid?

The adoption?

Everything's fine.

Hi.

I'm Artur. I also work here, as a collector.

Sorry for the suddenness, but it's very important.

I'll just...

My mom trusted a swindler.

She transferred money over to him.

So I need to urgently find out who the owner...

of this account is.

Last name, first name, everything.

This information is confidential.

You should try the bank's security service,

they'll be able to help you.

Yes, but an official report would take until Chinese Easter. So, forever.

But my mom's still communicating with that Leri Vinn.

If I'm too late,

she'll give him everything she has.

I wouldn't be surprised if the next one says they're Elton John.

I sympathize very much, but I don't have any right to interfere.

You get it, right? Moms?

Maybe you're a mom yourself?

Please, help me.

Halyna Leonidivna Tymchenko, yes?

I've got it.

Thank you.

Mom...

A mom is sacred...

Thank you.

Don't mention it.

Sorry, what kind of lion is this tiger?

You say he's a collector...

I need to check him in the database.

I'll see what his ascending and marriage house signs are.

Okay. What's mine? Passion fruit?

- Yes. - Just what I like.

You can stop somewhere here. Thanks.

Shall I see you home?

No. I'll be fine.

I'm very grateful.

We agreed to be less formal.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Well, this is the way it opens.

Good luck!

Lux FM, No. 1 entertainment radio.

Cool. This is my favorite.

Mom, please turn it off.

Let's sing it together.

It's kind of cringe.

"In just two weeks, it will be burning."

Christ, how can you listen this?

In just two weeks It will be burning

Mom, turn this off.

A fire like the sun

Please turn it off.

"I search for your look every day."

My organs are already failing.

I search for your look every day

The summer look of your green eyes

Can you hear me? I want you to turn it off.

No promises, no excuses

You're kidding me, aren't you?

Everything happened by itself

I get it. Please turn it off.

Words have new meanings

But what about you and me?

You and me haven't changed

Mom, enough!

Fine.

At last!

It's for the first time...

Mom, please turn it off. I'm asking you normally.

Okay.

Thank you.

Mom!

PLAST

Skipper!

Here.

We have two more people. Launch an additional kayak.

No problem.

Ivan, my friend, can I ask you something?

Ruta, what's with your face?

It's face paint.

It reflects my inner being.

Authentic.

Okay, tell me what you want?

I need to call someone.

You've come up with another crazy idea, huh?

No, it's strictly business.

Well, you know the rules,

no phones during camp.

I need three minutes.

I think Mom wants to hear my voice.

You think so?

Yes, to my core.

We have a soul connection

like the one between a salmon and its birthplace.

Well, moms and salmon are certainly sacred things.

Just to hear your voice, and that's all?

Yes.

Yes. And I will ask her to bring a lawnmower.

Lera, is it necessary to have all the lights on?

Mom, I've got solar panels.

Look at me.

Hasn't your nose swollen yet?

Why would it be swollen?

Because all pregnant women get swollen noses.

Well,

hardly all of them, my nose is not swollen.

I think it will start swelling in two or three days.

Mom...

What?

Everyone's nose becomes swollen except yours. Really?

Are you the only special one in the world, Lerchyk?

A swollen nose is nothing.

Later, your teeth will start shaking and your hair will begin to fall out.

Nothing's going to fall out.

Why are you wishing this upon me?

I'm not. I remember it from my own experience.

When I gave birth to you, health problems became

so acute after six months, just like after radiation.

Can we talk about something else?

Not about my nose.

For example, my new collection is going to be launched.

- I, by the way-- - My car broke down on the highway.

You could've at least phoned me.

Mom, I'm not psychic.

How could I know that you were standing somewhere on the roadside?

Everything's fine, Lerchyk.

It's fine. I'm used to the fact that nobody thinks of me.

I do think, Mom.

I do think.

Just in my own way.

See, it's for you.

Lera, what do I need an iPhone for?

I have a normal smartphone with two SIM cards.

You know that I don't like all these bells and whistles.

It's more convenient.

I'll get everything set up for you. It takes cool photos.

And we'll install artificial intelligence on it.

I've trusted my own intelligence so far.

It tells me that you have wasted your money.

But where's Seriozha?

What kind of lawnmower?

A normal one. We have one at home.

I have an idea for an art performance.

Wait, wait a second. Tell me exactly what you mean.

The comet is going to come flying in tomorrow.

I feel it.

Okay, fair enough, but everyone already knows that. And?

We need to send it a message.

There is a field beyond the forest.

We will mow the message “We are glad to see you” on it.

Is that all?

No, an exclamation point as well.

Do you think it will be seen from space?

Definitely.

Have you heard about Nazca desert drawings?

A monkey, a spider, a man?

Listen to me, Ruta.

I'm sure you will excel beyond everyone in the future.

Dali, Picasso.

You will paint some mural on a skyscraper, and everything will be fine for you.

In the future, that is.

Because right now you are in a maritime camp, not in a creative one.

Therefore, please, go tie knots and learn to row.

Why do I need to create problems with farmers?

Okay? No phone.

Come on, come on.

We're not together anymore.

He was unfaithful.

Once?

Is once not enough?

How many times should he?

Three, five, seven? How many, Mom?

And then what?

You just kicked him out?

Now nine months pregnant and alone?

Mom, I'm not alone.

Oh, do you already have somebody?

I'm with my baby.

I've just finally chosen myself.

She has chosen herself! I see how you've chosen yourself.

See, the duck has burnt.

That's it, Mom! Come on, I've booked a table at a restaurant.

What a dinner...

Salut!

Hi!

You're just in time.

Come on, change your clothes quickly. We're going to start soon.

One more thing.

What if we don't mow the field

but compose the words “You're pretty” using our kayaks?

We don't have enough kayaks for that.

We can use our bodies, too.

You can be the exclamation point.

My dear Ruta,

go finish your outstanding tasks, okay?

Come on. An exclamation point at the end, just in case.

Come on, change into these clothes, people have been already waiting for us.

What is this, some sort of amusement park?

I'm not getting out.

Two more weeks And it will start burning

Fine! I got it. Okay.

Hi, newcomers.

How much does your look cost?

Shall I accompany you? Let's go.

KITCHEN

Is LittleFish your mother?

LittleFish?

Yes. Didn't you know?

Everyone in the Plast scouting organization has an alias.

I'm Skipper.

Nice.

I'm Sofia.

My mother is LittleFish.

Then again, Shark is a more suitable name for her.

Old school against the new wave?

Yep.

Sounds familiar.

You know, I had the same thing before.

How are you? Is everything okay?

Super.

Well, girls, take a look. This one's yours.

You have about 40 seconds.

That's it. Super. Come on.

Any more and you'll have tattooed me.

You should practice on dummies.

Please excuse me.

So...

the MRI results show an ischemic injury

on the left parietal lobe with no acute progression.

There is background unstable hypertension.

Medical prescriptions include beta-blockers, cardioaspirin,

glycemic control, and oxygen therapy as appropriate.

Plus a strict rest regimen without any emotional strain.

Round-the-clock monitoring.

Well done!

Excellent!

Give me your academic record book.

If my obituary states that I was bored to death in this ward,

you'll be seeing me on the other side.

Agreed.

However, one remark, professor.

If your blood pressure gets higher than 180 over 100,

we will transfer you to the resuscitation ward.

In return, I will rat you out to the health inspector

because your resuscitation unit is overcrowded.

Good afternoon.

- Hi, Mom! - Andriy!

- Mommy! - Oh, great God.

Excuse me.

Doctor, I will come to see you later, okay?

- Are you her son? - No!

He's my neighbor from the fifth floor.

He's just similar to my son.

He's the least of all my life's problems.

And my greatest love.

Well, you can talk, but don't put any strain on her.

All right.

Well done, Ihor.

Thank you.

Don't listen to him.

Hi, Mom.

Hi, my darling.

Well, how are you feeling?

Like Edmond Dantes.

Lying in prison, preparing to escape.

And then I will turn into the Count of Monte Cristo

and begin to take vengeance.

First I will punish Stefanivna

so that she calls neither you nor your secretary.

Mom, let's not make plans nor a list of future victims.

Oh, the list is long.

Have you got any cigarettes?

It's a joke. A joke.

As the Chinese say,

if you want to master the art of kung fu,

do as the master does.

Adopt their movements.

How do the Chinese say, "I didn't sign up for this rubbish"?

Work following my rhythm.

I'm trying.

Come on, I didn't learn instantly either.

Seriously? No way!

See, we've already dropped behind.

Come on, pick up the pace.

Oh, sorry, I will get it now.

Stop, don't move the kayak.

I've nearly got it. Nearly got it...

Don't move the kayak, watch it!

Sofia!

Wait!

Wait! I'll help you.

Can you swim?

No, my boots are too heavy.

Hold on to me.

It's okay. It's okay.

A little bit more.

What the hell was that?

We could have...

It's awful!

Why did I ever agree to this?

Alive?

Alive.

Well, we need to start a fire,

or you can catch cold.

Let's go and find some dead branches.

Are you serious?

You're okay after everything that just happened?

What fire?

Are you sane?

I'm going to leave this place right now.

Lonely and barefooted?

Yes, lonely and barefooted. Anywhere but here.

You'll fail.

There are small islands, flood plains, and swamps everywhere.

We can only leave by water.

Put these on.

Your feet can be easily hurt here.

So one exploit wasn't enough for you for today, huh?

I'm experienced. I'm not afraid of failures,

except for failures in bringing up certain people.

Mom, I'm hungry!

In the past, everyone lived somehow,

they tolerated things, kept their families safe.

Nowadays, whatever you say, all you hear is "personal boundaries."

By the way, I could've also chosen myself but I chose you.

And I was tolerating your father.

Do you think he didn't have any affairs?

He did! But I was keeping our family safe.

I see how you were keeping it safe.

Then again, I don't see our father

within a 1000km radius for some reason.

Yes.

I failed to keep it safe, but I tried.

I don't want you to live with an eternal feeling of guilt.

Infidelity is not the end of everything, Lera. It's life.

People make mistakes. You're making it some huge drama.

Mom, infidelity is not a mistake.

It's when the man takes a wrong turn and does so for a long time.

And it's not a bit of drama, it's a boundary for me.

It's like I'm simply shouting for no reason.

Oh, that's a very familiar feeling.

That's it.

Let's just have a a nice, calm dinner.

Here's to your visit.

Okay.

But don't drink a lot. A couple of sips, that's all.

Mom, it's an alcohol-free wine.

But it's still wine, Lera.

Mom.

What?

Do you remember

how you would write fairy tales

and read them to me?

- Have you kept them? - Yes.

Of course I have.

They're my Bible...

FAIRYTALES FOR ANDRIIKO

Now I will read them to you.

"At the very edge of the Emerald Forest,

on a bank of the meandering river that flows by the devil's mountain,

lies the City of Magicians."

"Here's what was written by Triglav Fivefeet,

a mighty warrior and traveler, in his secret guide book."

Sofia?

Sofia?

Sofia?

No need to shout loud enough for the whole forest.

Some local chupacabra will come and impose a fine on us

for a breach of public order.

I just woke up and you weren't here.

Well, that's pretty typical as of late, isn't it?

Haven't you slept?

Well, someone must tend to the fire, so I went to find some firewood.

What were you dreaming about? You're shaking all over.

Try not to catch cold.

Wow, I've already forgotten the last time things were this quiet.

Life is always like this.

It's roaring and rushing along but then there is sudden silence.

Just us two.

On an island and without Wi-Fi.

Do you remember

when you were five,

there was some kind of holiday at your kindergarten,

and all the kids came with balloons.

They had to release a balloon and make a wish.

All the kids released their balloons,

and so did you.

I asked you what wish you'd made.

You said you wished that the balloon would come back.

Do you remember when you forgot to take me home from music school?

You thought Dad was going to do it but he thought that you were.

I played cards with one of the staff into the night.

Dad and I almost killed each other then.

I believe that.

By the way, it's a shame that you dropped out of music school.

Mom, honestly, it was like a factory.

The word "solfeggio" alone makes my eye twitch.

That and a 3/4 time signature panic attack.

I quit dancing too.

The teacher said in front of everyone that I was as stiff as a wooden stool.

I nearly burned with shame and ran out a back door.

Really? You ran?

- I did. - I don't believe you.

I got on a shuttle bus and went to a botanical garden.

I was walking there, smelling the flowers,

and thinking that I would be a gardener for the rest of my life.

So why didn't you become a gardener?

I did, actually.

My garden is one young lady

who likes the sun very much,

sometimes grumbles,

and doesn't like limitations.

Mom, you know I'm difficult.

No, you're not difficult.

You're complex.

It's probably the guys.

- Hello? - Good afternoon.

The English Language School welcomes you.

We carry out free testing of English language knowledge--

At least the signal is back.

Did he really die?

In which episode?

All right, my friend.

You'll tell me everything later, okay?

Stay in touch. Bye.

So-so.

Something like poppy seed cake.

All right, then.

In short, this is Reitarska Street.

This is where Kyiv's hipsters hang out.

I saw a film by Antonioni yesterday.

I kind of sublimated into a new state.

Oh yes. It's my mental alternative.

They should be sent to a vegetable garden to hoe weeds.

Be careful.

Oh, I can show you the yard with the ravens.

- No, no. Haven't we seen ravens? - Sonny, you...

You need to go to work, so perhaps you should run.

And you two?

And we will take a walk by ourselves.

We are not children. Right, Vitia?

Right.

At our own pace, you know.

Well then, let's meet near the glass bridge.

You know how to find it, right?

Of course.

Don't go thinking we are some kind of idiots, okay?

We'll manage.

I got lost in a forest in 2003,

and I found my way home using moss.

Oh, I really hoped that he wouldn't find it.

He wasn't home for two days, so I got some good rest.

What are you talking about?

After an hour, she began to run around searching for me with a dog.

Sonny, where can I buy banana matcha around here?

Basically at any crossroads.

Is that the green soup that costs half your wage?

Yes, the green soup.

It helps with nerves.

To stop you killing your husband.

Oh, like with fishing.

If I didn't know it would calm my nerves, I'd kill you all.

What's the matter with you?

Has the kombucha gone to your head or what?

- Right, I'll see you this evening. - Sure.

Vitia,

there's a bench over there. Let's sit for a while.

Yes, in the shade.

Valerii Diatlov?

Yes.

Aren't you ashamed of scamming older women for money, you crook?

Who are you?

I...

I sincerely apologize.

I didn't know who you were.

When you were singing, I was probably less than a year old.

Yes...

Therefore...

In short, please forgive me.

Don't worry.

As they say, it's nothing that won't heal.

Figuratively speaking.

Your figurativeness has already been examined in court twice.

So sit and don't worry.

You, Halka, are still the same.

If you had some impudence then, you could have been a TV channel chief,

not just a music program director.

But you didn't accept my song.

Don't you remember those times?

Could I have done something then?

There was a system.

Your song, "Valera," didn't comply with the prescribed format.

As far as I can see, you are a fan of vinyl.

Me?

I didn't say so.

I just wanted to give you a surprise.

I remember when you were young you were listening to

"Every Breath You Take."

All the time, repeating it over and over.

So I asked Leri

to find that vinyl record for you.

From that very year.

Yes, 1983, by the way.

London pressing, almost perfect condition,

signed by Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner himself.

It's certainly too early, but happy birthday.

My darling.

Thank you.

Wow.

Hi.

- Hi. - What's your name?

Arina.

Arina. I haven't seen you. Hide yourself, okay?

Nadia, be honest,

who am I like more in this? Scarlett Johansson,

or Billie Eilish?

Dua Lipa.

Really?

Perfect.

Oh, I found your guy's info in the database.

A typical Capricorn in Scorpio.

The Seven, the Chariot, the 17th Arcana.

Now explain normally what that means.

It means he should definitely be taken.

Ksiu, do you still talk to people,

or do you write them down on a pentagram first?

I talk to them,

but only when Mercury isn't in retrograde.

Hi.

- Hi. - I'll go.

- Well, hello. - Hi.

This is for you.

Thanks.

Is it for any reason,

or is it to take out a loan?

Well, that plus installments, for a coffee.

Two coffees.

For a walk and a movie.

By the way, that Leri Vinn...

Turns out he wasn't a swindler,

just a retired singer.

Well, that's good.

Attention! Fire alarm!

Everybody please leave the building immediately

via the nearest emergency exit.

Is this some new type of date with special effects?

No, but we'll have something to tell the children.

Your or my children, I mean, not our children.

- It's just a saying-- - Got it.

Let me in! My child is in there.

- A girl? - Yes!

- I saw her. I'll be right back. - Hold her!

- Everybody please leave the building... - Mom!

Come, quickly.

Hold on to me.

Okay, hold on.

Attention! Fire alarm!

Please leave the building immediately via the nearest emergency exit.

Come on, follow me, follow me...

Mother with a child.

- Hold her. - How are you?

- How are you? - Fine.

Do you have a car?

- Yes. - Let's go.

Thank the oar and common sense, we've found you.

You're right on time, we've just had a good sleep.

We were searching for you all night long.

Or more precisely, we were searching for a boat,

then a battery for it.

Well, thank God, you're alive.

The fact that wolves didn't eat us was just our plain luck.

Maybe, it's due to scout training?

Yes.

Well, do you need a ride?

Downtime has already begun.

Lera,

is this a compulsory program now?

It's just meditation.

Try to relax.

I can't relax when my back hinges on my faith only.

Mediation has a life-giving impact on the nervous system.

For nerves

and the future baby.

"Super" is when a future baby has a father.

"Super" is

when a mother respects

her daughter's choice and doesn't meddle in her life.

"Super" is when a daughter

doesn't see her mother as the enemy.

"Super" is when a mother realizes, for just once in her life,

that her daughter doesn't want to live the same way her mother did.

You have always been like this, ever since childhood.

If other children wanted ice-cream in wafer cones, you didn't.

You needed an ice-cream on a stick, in white chocolate.

Is it bad to want an ice-cream on a stick?

Is it bad to not want it in a wafer with paper on it? Is it bad?

It's not bad. To want is one thing, but...

There are no “buts,” Mom.

All your “buts” are what your neighbors would say.

"The husband is the head, his wife is the neck."

That's beside the point. It's just exactly your case.

I'm feeling low vibrations in the field.

Please take a breath...

and don't strangle each other.

I've found another clinic, in Germany.

They're ready to accept her tomorrow.

They have different equipment and a different approach.

Transport will be here in two hours.

It is not about equipment or approaches.

Considering her age and condition,

any inter-clinic transfer will do her more harm than good.

Take my advice and don't make her suffer with that.

In other words, I must accept the fact that I cannot save her.

Just sit here and watch her fade away?

Lidiia Mykolaivna is a legend.

She once taught me to hold a scalpel.

I was and am doing all I can.

But clinical indicators tell us real things.

What exactly?

The MRI shows ischemic areas in the left hemisphere,

cerebral blood flow disturbance,

dynamic hypertension

plus myocardial fatigue.

We're doing what any clinic would do. Whether that's in Germany or America.

Or even on Mars.

We're stabilizing her as best we can.

However, not even every year counts,

and not even every month.

Doctor, how much time is left?

It's case-by-case.

A day, maybe two, or maybe a week.

She has an extremely unstable cardiogram and slow reaction to treatment.

A sudden cerebral edema and...

We're supporting her as best we can.

Mom?

No!

Why no?

Let's go.

You must be under permanent medical supervision.

I am under permanent medical supervision.

I'm a doctor.

Let's go.

Why should I listen to you?

- Because I'm in charge. - No.

Why no?

If you don't listen, I'll strike you out of my will.

Okay.

Okay.

Do you love me?

I adore you.

But that trick is forbidden.

Listen to me.

I'm afraid.

What are you afraid of?

Son, I know I don't have much time left.

But only those who lived an unhappy life are afraid of death.

And I've lived a happy life.

Yes, it was difficult, but how much happiness I had!

My childhood,

my parents, my love,

your birth,

friends,

my damned job.

My students.

It's real happiness, sincerely.

I'm not afraid.

And the main thing is...

I don't want to die

in a hospital bed.

Where are going? You must stay in bed!

Where are we going now?

The cemetery!

Svitlana!

Svitlana, I've decided.

I am ready to adopt Matvii.

He's disappeared.

What, how?

We don't know.

We don't know. He's just left.

Nobody allowed him.

We saw in the morning that he wasn't here.

We thought he was somewhere in the area.

But the police are searching.

Nothing so far.

Does he have any friends?

Someone close to him?

A girl named Yasia.

Yasia?

We need to talk to her.

What's up with this makeup?

I look like a dried eggplant.

We'll correct everything!

Are we shooting a jewelry campaign or a crematorium ad?

But the contract has been signed!

Oh, look at those dresses!

Vitia, take a look at them!

I wish I could wear one like that just once.

And there's Zhenka.

- Where? - There.

Where?

Where are you looking? There. Zhenia!

Why are you yelling?

What if someone came up to you while you were fishing and did that?

My reputation is at stake.

Absolutely everything.

If this ad fails, it will be a fiasco.

You're the only one who can do this.

We need that woman.

Tell me, what's with his trousers?

What? They're normal.

Well he's a thin, beautiful guy.

It looks like he borrowed yours.

The character type is clear.

I will call the agency now,

and we'll find a similar model.

No, you don't understand.

We don't need a model,

we need that woman.

Her.

Don't husk these seeds.

Look, something's stuck to your lip.

You're not in your garage now, are you?

Listen, if this is a joke,

then you've chosen the wrong moment.

We need a woman wearing this brand's jewelry

because she just feels like herself in it.

Do you understand the risk you're exposing me to?

People don't want to see an unachievable dream,

they want to see themselves in this brand's image.

Here she is,

the one that wakes up every day, gets dressed,

and chooses your earrings, not for ideal photos

but for life.

Are they looking at us, or what?

I don't know.

Perhaps no, not at us. Huh?

Oh, Marik, you're a mule.

But my mule.

I was on duty in a first-aid unit

and saw him from a window.

He was playing "Yesterday,"

and he had posters of The Beatles in the trunk of his car.

Oh...

we were quite the pair.

A surgeon and a black marketeer.

But we looked like a pair from the Soviet champagne ads.

We had nothing.

No wedding.

Not even a photo.

We just had each other.

And our son.

That was enough.

You said

we would pass away together.

But you passed away first.

I am going to stay in this world a bit longer,

and then we'll meet again.

How alike you look!

The same, and stubborn?

As a mule.

I know but I won't tell you.

I don't betray my friends.

Even under the pressure of chocolate candies with coconut flakes.

What if Matvii feels bad now?

And he thinks that no one has understood him.

But no one has understood him.

Especially adults!

You never understand.

Matvii heard everything, and he doesn't want to see you.

You adults can't be trusted.

You know

I also don't trust some adults.

Today my mommy was that adult,

but now I understand that we need to trust

the ones closest to us.

Matvii said that he shouldn't be searched for

if he were to suddenly disappear.

That place is for our crew only.

I mean, for pirates from his ship.

But you are not from our crew.

That's it.

They are coming to us. Satisfied?

I told you not to spit seeds.

Good afternoon.

Excuse me, what's your name?

Yours.

- Mine? - Yes.

Inha Viktorivna.

Nice to meet you. I'm Den, admin.

My team and I wanted to invite you to a professional ad shoot.

I promise that everything will be fast, and you will definitely be paid.

- No, no, no. - Why?

Because my clothes are wet, and my blood pressure is high,

plus my bus departs in 30 minutes.

It will be fast, I promise.

No.

No, my husband's granddad has died.

Don't take it so hard, my love.

Here have some sweets in his grandfather's memory.

Sorry, I sympathize.

Inha, come on.

- Oh, God! - He died thirty years ago.

Shut your mouth.

No, no, and no!

Never ever, Zhenia.

Me and a photoshoot are miles apart.

Okay?

Mom, I told you I would be shooting a world star.

You did.

I thought you were talking about some Monica Bellucci.

You are the most beautiful woman in the world. Mom!

You are beautiful because you are real.

Your wrinkles, your laughter, your strength.

Your words, “You'll get it now!”

are the best thing in my life.

Mom, I want the whole world to see you the way I see you.

Trust me.

Do your stylists have shapewear?

Lera!

Tell me why we're hanging around the city all the time?

Mom, let's go.

What the hell have we come here for?

Mom, don't worry but I've got some news for you.

- You have twins in there, Lera, don't you? - Mom, not twins!

It's your car.

Lera, my car is at a service station.

That's what I'm talking about.

You car is old,

breaking down all the time.

And why can't I give you a present

when I can afford it?

You have learned somehow to earn money but not to save it.

Your baby won't have a father.

Don't you have other things to spend your money on?

Well, you never seem to be pleased, no matter what I do.

What do you mean? Everything's fine.

You need nothing, Mom.

Even your father left you because you wore him down with all of this.

- Lera! - What?

Why are you shouting?

Does everybody need to know? People are looking.

I do everything for her!

Everything! Holidays, presents,

bells and whistles, theaters, restaurants!

But she doesn't give a shit!

Listen, quiet down!

- You know what... - Lera!

You don't need this car, do you?

Well, great.

Lera...

- don't get all worked up. - Okay, if you don't need it, so be it.

Lera... Lera!

Lera!

Miss, this car is not yet fully paid for.

Mom?

What?

I think it's started.

What has?

What has started? Oh my!

Well, it's normal, it's normal. Hold this.

Easy. It's okay. Look, first of all, your mommy's here.

Don't just stand there!

Call an ambulance. Or a taxi? I don't know.

Lerchyk, everything's gonna be okay.

It's gonna be fine. You know what? Let's just sit for a while.

This way. Come on. Let's go.

Let's open this. Good girl.

Just sit for a while and breathe. Remember how?

That's right. Two after two, okay?

My God, it's good you're not having twins.

What are you staring at? Call the police.

Carefully. Just hold on.

My God, if you're not here for me, be here for her. Let us arrive on time.

Everything will be fine, daughter.

Carefully, Lerchyk.

Mom, listen.

I know that you didn't believe in me

but I really wanted you to just be near me.

Lera, I did believe.

I was just afraid.

See, we were taught our whole lives

to hold on to our husbands, not dream too big, not be too smart,

and grin and bear it if something's wrong.

That's how I lived.

And as you can see, I'm alone.

But you're doing great.

Really great.

You just decided to chose a different way.

And you asked no one for permission to be happy.

I just couldn't live differently.

I just thought that all of that was love.

See, I was wrong.

Daughter, I am very proud of you. Very.

And I love you very much, really.

Will the driver of the green Mini Cooper with no license plate stop immediately.

I love you very much as well.

The driver of the green Mini Cooper with no license plate, stop immediately.

What's the matter? What do you want?

My daughter's in labor here! Lera!

Attention all units! Provide escort to the driver...

Now hold on. Okay, we're approaching. We're almost there.

There used to be a canteen.

When we were students, we skipped lectures

and ordered meat dumplings

and tomato juice there.

Have you ever mixed tomato juice

with medical alcohol?

Oh, it makes a nice Bloody Mary. First-class.

Hmm, I'm not sure about that 'experience'

Hey, wait here a minute. I'll be right back.

And please, no experiences without me.

My friend, excuse me.

Your favorite, do you recognize it?

From the first notes.

What?

Let's try. Help me.

- Really? - Help me up.

Are you sure?

I'm telling you.

I'm obeying.

It seems that our captain is here.

REVENGE OF QUEEN ANNE

It's Blackbeard. The terror of the seas.

How do you even know that?

You may not believe me, and this may sound strange,

but I was a boy too, 30 years ago.

Come on, be brave.

Hello!

Is there anybody here?

I need to have an urgent talk with the captain named Blackbeard.

It's very urgent.

I thought...

maybe he missed someone

who is not afraid of a storm.

Who is ready to sew buttons on his pirate shirts.

Or just talk.

Or be silent for a while.

Or laugh at how we once

got stuck on a Ferris wheel.

I was told that

the bravest captain is aboard this ship.

I would like to talk with him.

If you're here to check on me,

I didn't call you here.

No, it's not checking.

I just need to say something important.

But only to the captain because I trust only him.

I found this in your room.

You painted me

but not yourself.

And I thought perhaps...

Perhaps you didn't see a place for yourself there.

I didn't know whether I was really needed there.

Maybe it was just a temporary port.

And I didn't know if I was able to become a shore for you.

I was afraid that I would screw up, wouldn't cope,

and wouldn't live up to your expectations.

But now I know that I want to become the person

whom you can always rely on.

All you adults are good in the beginning

but then you disappear if something goes wrong.

But I won't disappear.

I'll be here.

Even if a thunderstorm comes.

Even if you stay silent for a week.

Even if you decide to go on a major expedition on this ship.

Then it's not too late to give you a place in the crew.

Then move over...

Just tell me where we are sailing because I know nothing.

May I try?

Artur!

Sorry, Captain,

your ladder broke under my weight.

Meet Artur.

Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum.

All good.

- Where's your beard? - Here.

It's black, very black, I didn't even know.

When fishing, don't even try to use bloodworms as bait.

Take corn instead.

Well, I've always known that it's for me.

I nearly divorced this queen.

She said wallpaper needed to be glued side by side but I decided to overlap it.

Holy cow, we even filed an application for divorce, but the Lord spared us.

In my opinion, it's better to overcome your problems by yourself.

It's like putting on wings instead of a backpack.

You don't believe in the magic of the comet?

I believe in the magic of space.

We exist, and it's already magic.

But I will still make a wish because I want to.

Well, that's quite different, I mean exactly that.

We didn't manage to mow a message on the field.

Have you come up with something new? Tell us, quick.

One moment.

Does everyone know Morse code?

Does everyone have a small lantern?

Yes.

Such an interesting girl.

She's my youngest daughter.

Seriously?

Yes.

I decided to take her with me this year.

Let her mom have some rest from her never-ending fantasies.

And what about you? When are going to go home?

Today, I have to work.

So? Has the scouting therapy worked?

See for yourself.

Are you always so silent?

Or are you saving oxygen?

I just realized at some point that if I keep silent

it's harder to catch you out with my dumb jokes.

Smart.

But it seems to me that sometimes it's necessary to run the risk.

Life is so short.

So, where's that comet?

We'll see it soon.

Have you made a wish?

The comet is just flying.

It doesn't care about our wishes.

Maybe.

But we are also flying,

just more slowly.

You're a philosopher.

I just think aloud.

Do you have any other thoughts?

Maybe it's just the moment that is worth remembering?

Okay, here. A bit forward.

Oh, my God.

- That's cool. - Yes.

Attention, please, this is my working side.

Come on.

I beg your pardon, may I say hello?

Sorry, I'm married.

Wow, look there. Is that the comet?

Oh, have you seen?

Now you together.

Mom?

What?

I did tell you I would be shooting a world star.

Zhenia, stop it. Come on.

I love you.

You will put a dark blue dress on me.

It's hanging in the wardrobe, you'll find it.

Your father liked it.

Mom, please don't start.

We're spending time together. You asked for wine, and that's wine.

Listen, listen, I haven't finished speaking.

You'll get the black shoes, without the buckles.

The buckled ones pinch.

Oh, I forgot about a funeral feast. I just don't like such things.

That Vira Sadovska will come and begin to sob and deliver speeches.

Awful!

May I sort all these matters out by myself later?

Much later, okay?

By the way, you promised to go with me to the Carpathians.

I will show you my project.

We'll rent a house

and live there.

For a week or two or...

as long as you want.

Well, what about the wine?

Excuse me.

You are so sweet.

Your eyes are so sparkling.

Like when you fell in love for the first time.

Are you in love?

As the first aviators said,

as long as there is fuel

and the engine works

we need to fly.

Call her.

Pregnant at 15.

How can it be possible?

What is it? A verdict? A coincidence?

An astrological anomaly?

Or did her mother not teach her to use contraceptives?

We're going to talk about this with a pregnant girl named Sofia.

Mom, we're having twins!

Mom?

Mommy?

Mom?

Mom?

May I stay here?

Yes.

Friends, a new scout wants to join us.

And, according to our tradition, we must give her a scout alias.

You have burst in brightly, so please welcome Comet!

In just two weeks It will be burning

A fire like the sun in the yellow sky

I search for your look every day

The summer look of your green eyes

AGE: 52. SAGITTARIUS.

Vitia, please stop at the very first gas station.

But I don't want coffee. I will not sleep then.

What's that to you?

I can't stand it anymore,

these shapewear pants are so tight.

What is it?

Why are you laughing?

Parasites!

Oh, Mom.

TO OUR MOMS, WE ARE ALWAYS THE SAME LITTLE CHILDREN.

EVEN WHEN WE'RE FILMING.
