1
00:00:17,230 --> 00:00:22,420
In the secrets of libraries, behind the bindings

2
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:27,180
severe and precious, many mysteries are hidden.

3
00:00:28,300 --> 00:00:32,560
The sweetest of these mysteries come to us from the great writers themselves.

4
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:39,210
Far, far from their officially recognized works, many authors

5
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:44,100
famous, under their name or a pseudonym, entertained themselves by writing

6
00:00:44,160 --> 00:00:47,940
stories where the games of love and beauty flourished.

7
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:53,000
These stories, the pink series went to discover them

8
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,940
for you, a sensitive and informed public.

9
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,800
We will, for you, turn the pages of these books

10
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,239
secrets whose scent the years have not erased.

11
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,120
The pink series is open to you.

12
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:59,880
Pavel Smirnov, a young Moscow photographer, having decided to spend

13
00:01:59,940 --> 00:02:04,240
a month in the countryside, had responded to an ad offering a room

14
00:02:04,260 --> 00:02:09,259
rented in the villa of a widow, a certain Mrs. Orlova.

15
00:02:09,780 --> 00:02:11,840
Tell me, I'm looking for Madame Orlova's villa.

16
00:02:12,100 --> 00:02:12,750
Do you know where it is?

17
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:14,140
Yes yes, sir knows.

18
00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:15,540
That way, in the forest.

19
00:02:15,980 --> 00:02:17,720
You can't go wrong, there's only one way.

20
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:19,640
Arrived at the edge,

21
00:02:19,700 --> 00:02:33,000
you- Yes, thank you.

22
00:02:41,980 --> 00:02:43,830
Will you shut up, Polka?

23
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,100
But what are these ways?

24
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:47,000
Stop, Polka.

25
00:02:47,620 --> 00:02:48,900
Excuse me, but I got lost.

26
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:50,680
I'm not from the region.

27
00:02:51,060 --> 00:02:53,089
Could you tell me where Madame Orlova's villa is?

28
00:02:53,900 --> 00:02:55,160
She's a widow.

29
00:02:55,260 --> 00:02:56,220
But it's here, sir.

30
00:02:57,020 --> 00:02:58,160
I am Sophie Orlova.

31
00:02:58,700 --> 00:03:01,760
And you are Mr. Smirnov, I suppose.

32
00:03:02,060 --> 00:03:03,000
Pavel Smirnov.

33
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:05,840
But I was only expecting you in the afternoon.

34
00:03:06,540 --> 00:03:09,720
Um, finally, I was able to take the seven o'clock train, which explains my...

35
00:03:10,940 --> 00:03:12,080
I hope I don't bother you.

36
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:13,800
But no, on the contrary.

37
00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:17,560
I was going to have my tea.

38
00:03:18,540 --> 00:03:20,300
I hope you'll accept a cup.

39
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:21,660
Yes of course.

40
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:22,880
Gladly.

41
00:04:10,609 --> 00:04:15,600
A little surprised, but delighted that the widow Orlova did not offer the sad spectacle

42
00:04:15,940 --> 00:04:20,320
of an old lady with the chemical and alpine scent of lozenges for

43
00:04:20,459 --> 00:04:24,599
cough, Smirnov immediately fell under the spell of the pretty widow.

44
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,160
What's new in Moscow?

45
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:46,520
Ah, Moscow.

46
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,280
On the city that sleeps as on the tops of the woods.

47
00:04:53,020 --> 00:04:55,500
Awakens the astonishing noise of the nights.

48
00:04:57,780 --> 00:04:59,380
I see you are an amateur photographer.

49
00:05:02,140 --> 00:05:02,720
Not exactly.

50
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:05,400
In fact, it's my profession.

51
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:08,820
I take photos for several newspapers.

52
00:05:09,820 --> 00:05:12,700
I am sent to the scene when an important event must occur.

53
00:05:13,220 --> 00:05:15,500
Around here, in the countryside, you won't have much

54
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:16,900
the opportunity to do photography.

55
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:19,160
Nothing ever happens.

56
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,120
However, there is no shortage of subjects, the countryside.

57
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,280
There is nature, the birds, the picturesque.

58
00:05:26,660 --> 00:05:32,020
Excuse me, but yes, I, I just thought about it suddenly.

59
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:33,820
That's not entirely true.

60
00:05:35,900 --> 00:05:37,740
Sometimes things happen in the countryside.

61
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,400
Imagine that last week, while I was taking my bath

62
00:05:43,460 --> 00:05:47,420
in the pond, like I, I do every day in the afternoon,

63
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:53,440
well, they took the opportunity to steal all my clothes.

64
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:54,380
All.

65
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,440
And I was uh, I was completely naked.

66
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:07,500
Yes, I, I'm a little ashamed to tell you all this I believed, I believed for a moment

67
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:11,320
that someone had played a bad joke on me, a, a kid, I don't know.

68
00:06:11,420 --> 00:06:14,160
And then, and then no, no, no, it wasn't one.

69
00:06:14,740 --> 00:06:18,080
Everything had been taken from me, everything, except my parasol.

70
00:06:19,820 --> 00:06:27,200
I also wonder why And uh you

71
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,130
came back to the villa without your clothes?

72
00:06:32,280 --> 00:06:33,680
How else do you expect me to do it?

73
00:06:34,740 --> 00:06:36,480
I couldn't stay there forever.

74
00:07:34,660 --> 00:07:35,360
It's Dimitri.

75
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:36,780
Killed in a duel.

76
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,180
A stupid, pointless duel.

77
00:07:42,980 --> 00:07:45,290
But why, my God?

78
00:07:45,300 --> 00:07:46,750
For what ?

79
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,500
I, I did everything to stop him from going there.

80
00:07:50,980 --> 00:07:52,540
But his jealousy no longer had limits.

81
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:56,040
It's been a long time since...

82
00:07:58,140 --> 00:07:58,520
Two years.

83
00:08:02,260 --> 00:08:02,880
Mrs. Orlova.

84
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:07,420
Yes, Mr. Smirnov.

85
00:08:07,620 --> 00:08:09,840
Excuse me, but we haven't talked about the price of the board.

86
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,300
I mean, with the room, how much will that be?

87
00:08:13,740 --> 00:08:16,659
Let's say that for a month, adding up the room,

88
00:08:16,939 --> 00:08:21,540
both meals, breakfasts, tea, etc.

89
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,720
etc., that will cost you around thirty rubles.

90
00:08:26,740 --> 00:08:27,870
Is it in your prices?

91
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,240
Thirty rubles is perfect, Mrs. Orlova.

92
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:31,240
It's perfect.

93
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:33,940
Oh, I almost forgot.

94
00:08:34,820 --> 00:08:36,360
I must warn you, Mr. Smirnov.

95
00:08:37,260 --> 00:08:38,210
It doesn't happen to me every

96
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:45,620
nights, fortunately, but .

97
00:08:45,990 --> 00:08:48,740
But I, I am subject to

98
00:08:48,780 --> 00:08:52,220
attacks of, sleepwalking.

99
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:54,660
Nothing serious, rest assured.

100
00:08:55,820 --> 00:09:00,260
I, I get up, I go for a walk in the moonlight or in the living room

101
00:09:00,900 --> 00:09:03,200
and, and then I go back to bed as if nothing had happened.

102
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:09,720
I'm telling you this because if by chance you see me, don't make any noise.

103
00:09:10,980 --> 00:09:12,680
Don't try to wake me up.

104
00:09:13,940 --> 00:09:14,940
This could kill me.

105
00:09:16,420 --> 00:10:21,350
Of course, of course.

106
00:10:25,460 --> 00:10:27,190
Does this suit you?

107
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:28,440
Yes, it's perfect.

108
00:10:28,460 --> 00:10:29,059
Thank you.

109
00:10:31,220 --> 00:10:33,080
You never have dinner, Mrs. Orlova?

110
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,220
Yes, of course, every day.

111
00:10:36,380 --> 00:10:37,260
But I've already had dinner.

112
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:39,100
You hadn't come home yet.

113
00:10:41,140 --> 00:10:42,140
Ah good

114
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:47,540
.

115
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,940
If you don't mind, time to smoke a little cigar, I,

116
00:10:50,740 --> 00:10:54,020
I would love to accompany you for the Polka walk.

117
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,540
I'm sorry, but it's already done too.

118
00:10:58,560 --> 00:10:59,860
We took a walk earlier.

119
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,240
And now we are going to bed.

120
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:06,520
We are very very tired.

121
00:11:07,140 --> 00:11:07,940
Huh, Polka?

122
00:11:11,740 --> 00:11:14,920
By the way, Mr. Smirnov, would it be possible for you

123
00:11:14,980 --> 00:11:17,660
to take a photograph of Polka?

124
00:11:17,680 --> 00:11:18,480
I'm not in a hurry.

125
00:11:19,420 --> 00:11:20,460
When, when you can.

126
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:22,880
Of course, I will pay you.

127
00:11:23,420 --> 00:11:24,820
There is no question of that, Mrs. Orlova.

128
00:11:24,900 --> 00:11:25,880
The pleasure is all mine.

129
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,810
Do you want to uh, tomorrow morning?

130
00:11:29,820 --> 00:11:30,180
Mh.

131
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:33,580
If I may advise you in this area,

132
00:11:33,700 --> 00:11:36,400
you should not wear a dress that is too dark.

133
00:11:36,460 --> 00:11:38,300
I think of the contrast with the color of Polka.

134
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,760
But, but I don't want to be in the photograph.

135
00:11:41,780 --> 00:11:43,320
Besides, I'm not very photogenic.

136
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:49,560
Good evening, Mr. Smirnov.

137
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:56,400
Good evening, Mrs. Orlova.

138
00:11:58,080 --> 00:11:59,240
Come on, don't move, Polka.

139
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:00,860
Polka, don't move.

140
00:12:00,900 --> 00:12:01,780
One more last one.

141
00:12:01,810 --> 00:12:03,020
No, thank you Mr. Smirnov.

142
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:04,200
THANKS.

143
00:12:05,820 --> 00:12:07,000
Now we are going to the pond.

144
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:09,040
It's time for a swim.

145
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:11,340
Huh, Polka?

146
00:12:15,636 --> 00:12:16,776
See you later, Mr. Smirnov.

147
00:12:47,776 --> 00:12:50,556
The idea of ​​fixing for posterity the image of

148
00:12:50,656 --> 00:12:54,636
Sophie Orlova taking her bath literally had

149
00:12:54,696 --> 00:13:14,796
feverish Smirnov's head But fate,

150
00:13:15,056 --> 00:13:17,496
always vigilant, seemed, through small

151
00:13:17,576 --> 00:13:20,576
chess, prepare the young photographer for a

152
00:13:20,675 --> 00:13:22,156
possible disappointment.

153
00:13:23,536 --> 00:13:26,436
And it would be inaccurate to assert that Smirnov, this

154
00:13:26,496 --> 00:13:30,396
that evening, returned to his room with enthusiasm.

155
00:14:17,676 --> 00:14:20,356
Really, Dimitri, you have to believe me.

156
00:14:21,556 --> 00:14:23,656
Nothing happened with Lieutenant Lenski.

157
00:14:28,916 --> 00:14:29,896
Nothing, I assure you.

158
00:14:33,796 --> 00:14:35,296
You must not go to this duel.

159
00:14:37,636 --> 00:14:38,716
I have a bad feeling.

160
00:14:39,056 --> 00:14:41,236
But ma'am, but ma'am.

161
00:14:44,716 --> 00:14:49,036
It's been three days since you stopped coming to join me in my room.

162
00:14:51,376 --> 00:14:52,516
Why Dimitri?

163
00:14:53,816 --> 00:14:59,956
For what

164
00:14:59,976 --> 00:15:00,076
?

165
00:15:02,756 --> 00:15:06,036
Have you forgotten this?

166
00:15:07,696 --> 00:15:10,556
And my lips, Dimitri?

167
00:15:11,316 --> 00:15:15,736
My lips, have you forgotten the

168
00:15:15,816 --> 00:15:20,996
taste, sir my husband?

169
00:16:05,716 --> 00:16:08,206
Stay, Dimitri.

170
00:16:09,256 --> 00:16:09,836
Stay.

171
00:16:10,236 --> 00:16:13,196
Don't go to this duel, Dimitri.

172
00:16:20,526 --> 00:16:21,196
Hello Mrs.

173
00:16:21,416 --> 00:16:22,556
Hello Mr. Smirnov.

174
00:16:23,156 --> 00:16:26,676
Although the pretty widow obviously had no memory

175
00:16:26,716 --> 00:16:30,416
of his nocturnal behavior, Smirnov nevertheless decided

176
00:16:30,476 --> 00:16:40,366
evening to anticipate events.

177
00:17:00,356 --> 00:17:03,376
Really, Dimitri, you have to believe me.

178
00:17:04,856 --> 00:17:06,996
Nothing happened with Lieutenant Lenski.

179
00:17:08,676 --> 00:17:09,616
Nothing, I assure you.

180
00:17:54,476 --> 00:17:55,616
Take that back, Dimitri.

181
00:17:57,676 --> 00:17:58,316
Take that away.

182
00:17:59,896 --> 00:18:00,716
Do me a favor.

183
00:18:05,976 --> 00:18:07,576
You must not go to this duel.

184
00:18:12,076 --> 00:18:12,696
It is not necessary

185
00:18:34,408 --> 00:18:35,128
It is not necessary

186
00:18:35,248 --> 00:18:36,148
that you go

187
00:18:36,188 --> 00:18:37,928
to this duel.

188
00:19:19,228 --> 00:19:20,528
Stay, Dimitri.

189
00:19:38,428 --> 00:19:41,248
Dimitri, stay.

190
00:21:07,808 --> 00:21:08,788
You could have hit.

191
00:21:09,108 --> 00:21:10,047
Excuse me, ma'am.

192
00:21:10,828 --> 00:21:12,428
I'm almost finished, Mr. Smirnov.

193
00:21:13,708 --> 00:21:14,568
Take your time, ma'am.

194
00:21:14,588 --> 00:21:16,168
Take your time.

195
00:21:23,668 --> 00:21:27,188
Burning nights and icy days followed one another

196
00:21:27,228 --> 00:21:29,448
with surprising regularity.

197
00:21:32,448 --> 00:21:34,928
Smirnov, both delighted and perplexed - Good evening madam.

198
00:21:35,388 --> 00:21:40,568
Wondered in vain about the mysteries of the feminine soul and could not

199
00:21:40,608 --> 00:21:44,848
still unable to explain the strange behavior of the pretty widow.

200
00:21:46,428 --> 00:21:49,128
But the best things come to an end.

201
00:21:49,528 --> 00:21:50,188
I was looking for you.

202
00:21:51,308 --> 00:21:51,848
I was there.

203
00:21:52,508 --> 00:21:53,848
I haven't moved since this morning.

204
00:22:01,468 --> 00:22:03,228
The wild geese are ahead this year.

205
00:22:04,248 --> 00:22:05,368
Winter will come early.

206
00:22:06,548 --> 00:22:06,808
Yes.

207
00:22:12,448 --> 00:22:14,748
There you go, I, I came for the note.

208
00:22:16,568 --> 00:22:17,668
There you go, Mr. Smirnov.

209
00:22:24,648 --> 00:22:28,508
Mrs. Orlova, I have to tell you something.

210
00:22:31,508 --> 00:22:35,468
On several occasions during my stay, I, I have

211
00:22:35,508 --> 00:22:40,288
took advantage of, how to say, a situation...

212
00:22:43,168 --> 00:22:47,828
And the remorse I feel-- I am a man of honor, Mrs. Orlova.

213
00:22:49,448 --> 00:22:54,217
Equaled only by-- Hundred

214
00:22:54,228 --> 00:22:56,148
twenty rubles?

215
00:22:56,248 --> 00:22:56,978
What does that mean?

216
00:22:56,988 --> 00:22:58,648
It's, it's a mistake.

217
00:22:58,708 --> 00:23:00,588
We agreed on thirty rubles for the month.

218
00:23:01,448 --> 00:23:03,788
What are these ninety rubles extra?

219
00:23:04,468 --> 00:23:08,488
Eighteen nights at five rubles is ninety rubles, Mr. Smirnov.

220
00:23:11,308 --> 00:23:16,368
You know, Pavel, you can sleepwalk and know how to count.

221
00:23:19,208 --> 00:23:20,768
Yes, of course, Ms. Orlova.

222
00:23:21,888 --> 00:23:22,498
I was joking.

223
00:23:23,468 --> 00:23:24,048
Excuse me.

224
00:23:44,948 --> 00:23:50,608
Sorry sir, can you tell me where Madame Orlova's villa is?

225
00:23:54,528 --> 00:23:55,248
Thank you sir.

226
00:23:55,468 --> 00:23:55,828
THANKS.

227
00:24:06,828 --> 00:24:10,948
Is there no one among you who could lend me a hundred rubles?

228
00:24:29,928 --> 00:24:32,588
Keep the secret of the pink series.

229
00:24:33,448 --> 00:24:38,308
Only tell those you love about it and get back with them,

230
00:24:39,288 --> 00:24:44,788
right here, next week, same evening, same time.

231
00:24:46,248 --> 00:24:48,248
May the night be sweet to you.
