Reaching out to mama
Good-bye.
So...
That's it. I've called everybody, she's not with anyone.
Call Larisa.
Larisa is already home, like every other normal kid.
She saw her returning after school.
Then we wait for a bit, and then go look for her.
Sasha, where will we go? Where?
Not in the city, Nina. We'll figure something out probably.
You eat.
Every time this happens, you get all hysterical.
While you're shedding tears, she's off chatting with trees somewhere.
Sure! Maybe she fell into something, got lost in the forest, maybe a dog attacked her or a car ran her over.
Don't start Nina. Please just sit down and eat.
Of course...
dummy...
Katya!
Katya!
Hello.
Tatiana Aleksandrovna...
you're my mother in law and there's no need to worry. We'll call you. Yes, yes.
Why are you hiding, come out.
Where were you?
Oh, hey mom.
Hello
These are puppies, I found them in a basement.
Poor puppies, they...
You know what time it is?
The puppies are poor and your own mother isn't?
Sure, mother's got a heart made of stone.
Great! Give them here, now. Now.
I will not keep them here. Me and dad almost went crazy.
These aren't kids, they're monsters.
What do I have to do with this?
Change your tone.
Fool
This is the last thing we need. Bringing fleas and lice into the house.
Quickly wash your hands and sit down for dinner.
Strolling through dumps, finding trash. What are you looking at?
It's your genes, your mother is crazy.
I may have gotten an education, if it wasn't for you.
You eat and then straight to homework. And your walkabouts are done.
You understand me? From now on, it's to school and back.
No phones or cartoons for you. You're gonna sit home and do homework all day
A little calmer.
A little calmer.
I've reached the end of my patience.
Eat.
Eat, I said.
Starve my darling. It's gone do you a lot of good.
I'm no longer gonna all sweet with you like father is.
And you've had 5 already, enough!
I'll be over in half an hour to check on your work.
Sasha, how about we take the Yamaha which your firm bought last year,
write it off, and buy it ourselves half-price.
Who do you mean by 'we'?
'We' as in, you, at your firm.
What for?
Seva lower the volume, or we'll go deaf.
On the 1st of September,
Red Riding Hood decided to make a big pie feast.
12 raspberry cupcakes
7 with pears
3 with cabbage,
she took with her...
Sasha, how much does the Yamaha cost?
About 5 thousand
Okay. So, with your pay, we can buy it in about 10 years, yes?
Seva, you were told to lower the volume!
I've done it already.
I don't hear any difference
Better now?
Don't get cheeky with me. I'll switch the thing off.
Don't get cheeky with me. I'll switch the thing off.
Sitting there like a zombie.
Your homework is done?
I didn't have any.
How about I give a call to your teacher and ask her?
Call if you want. I don't care. Call the headmaster.
Wow, you're certainly talkative. You see that?
You hear how he talks to me, your son? Why are you so quiet?
You're the man, so talk to him like a man. What if he's lying?
I believe him.
Are you not too gullible? Believe this, trust that, won't do this, won't do that...
great motor, no we're honest.
I will not write anything off.
Sure. You won't. Sergei or Volodya will. And we will ride the winds forever.
People laugh at us.
You'd get there quicker with paddles"
They laugh because they don't have brains.
That must be it. But we won't get anywhere with your honesty.
Soon we won't have the means to buy buckwheat.
And Sasha, if it wasn't for you, I would have gotten an education. I would have...
What happened?
Nothing.
Did you cut yourself?
No
Show me your hand.
No
I said, show me your hand!
No! I didn't cut it.
She just wanted to eat some bread, like a rat!
Go to hell!
Show me your hand! Show me what you did!
Leave me alone, you flayer!
I'm a flayer?
Yes! You!
Go stand in the corner. Would you look at that?
Cut your hand off at the elbow. You're gonna have a hook there for the rest of your life.
Calling your mother that thing. Stand and think about what you've done.
Nina, I lost a button here yesterday, sow it back on?
I got the strings ready.
Sasha, did you all decide to have a go at me today?
Nina, hurry up, no time.
Where is it?
Here, I got it ready.
Why did you get white?
Nina, who cares, white, black...
Go fishing. I hope you die while you're at it. Damn fishing.
I hope a monster swallows you and beats you with it's fins.
I hope a storm begins and your boat overturns and you drown.
I don't need parents like you.
Although, dad can stay.
I love dad, he's a good man.
Mother can die alone.
Her place is underwater
with monsters.
God, what have I done to deserve her?
Why does no-one believe me and why does no-one love me.
I hope you all die.
Seva!
Nina, why'd you take so much? Are we going for a month?
You're in charge. We're going fishing.
Go to sleep, don't wait up for us.
We'll be late
Understood.
And you, come out now. Quit chewing on your tears.
Katya, you hear me? It's bedtime.
I wont come out until I die.
As you wish, I don't have the strength for this.
Daughter, come out.
No
Daughter?
That's enough, come out now.
Oh well
Bye! Get the door for me.
Don't mess with your sister.
Now, go to sleep.
Okay.
Nina, don't push, it's hard enough already.
I'm turning the lights off and going to sleep.
I don't care, switch it off.
So, you're gonna stand there all night?
Yes.
Fine, be that way.
Katya, you hear me?
Yes.
Can you imagine, I woke up last night from a weird sound,
I look and I see our drawers moving by themselves.
By which bed?
By the one that you sleep in.
And another sound, as if someone is scratching.
You're lying
No, I'm not.
Look, again...
You're lying, you moved them yourself.
I swear to you, they moved by themselves.
Sure, of course they did.
I can even see something moving in them
Wow, I can see even from here.
I hear her.
There's something there.
Warm.
Seva, don't.
Take my hand, dummy!
He bit my hand.
Who?
The monster!
What monster?
The one in the drawer.
Shut up, it's not funny anymore.
Not anymore it's not. I was kidding.
I'm going to go to sleep and cover my head,
I'm a little scared.
You're an idiot.
Seva, please close the drawers.
I won't. I'm scared.
But you were joking...
Yes, I was. But now I'm scared.
Now, sleep.
What time do mom and dad come back?
I'm sleeping already. Leave me alone.
They'll be back soon.
Goodnight.
I hope a storm begins...
I hope a monster swallows you and beats you with it's fins...
Mother can die alone...
Her place is underwater with monsters
I hope you all die.
monsters...
monsters...
I don't need parents like you...
Mother can die alone...
I hope a monster swallows you and beats you with it's fins...
I hope you all die.
They will die!
They will die!
They will die!
They will die!
Die! Die!
Shut up ***!
Seva, wake up!
It's three in the morning and mom and dad aren't home.
Are you out of your mind? Leave me alone.
Maybe their boat capsized or a monster are ate them.
Yes a monster ate them.
Switch the light off!
***.
If you don't switch the light off, I'm gonna hit you.
Go to hell!
Dear God, forgive me
for all the bad stuff that I said, standing in the corner.
I was angry back then,
I was an idiot.
Let's pretend I didn't say anything bad at all.
For that, I will keep the house tidy, make my bed,
help mama, make up with Larisa.
Please, just let my mom and dad stay alive,
I love them very much.
Leave me alone.
Nina, even the fish swim away from you.
Come back to Nina.
Sasha!
Sorry, I got it.
What do we have here?
Let's go kids. Get ready for school.
Quit playing around.
I won't repeat myself.
I'm going to get some ice water
That's it, I'm getting the water.
That's it, I'm getting the water.
Thank you, God.
Shame that it got away.
How big was it?
Huge. Just huge. Half the boat.
Amazing.
Almost turned the boat over.
Wow.
It was probably just a stump.
It was a huge fish.
Shame I wasn't there.
We'll take you with us next time.
What about me?
Fine, we'll take you too.
First she has to learn how to behave.
I've done that already.
Eat slower. Chew more.
Were you try to get the medicine out?
Yes.
Your conscience came around.
Except you won't get it out, because this is linoleum.
Nina, who cares about the linoleum?
We'll put a carpet over it. We should have tiled this a long time ago.
Sasha, I agree, make some money and we'll lay down some tiles.
Good morning.
Are you going to go?
You have bricks in there or what?
No, my conscience.
Anyone seen my socks?
It's at school already.
I put your puppies in a box, feed them yourself.
Where is it?
In Madagascar.
Nothing but air in your head.
After school, you come straight home.
Seva, here's your sock. Katya, you understand me?
You understand me?
You understand me?
Yes.
Here's your sock.
How many lessons today?
Dad, can you feed them for me please?
Wait for her and escort her home.
Jesus Christ, look what she's done with the wallpaper!
Okay, run off.
Ne'er do well. I don't have a piece this big.
Family.
Don't be a fool.
Nina, they're gone. Quit your whining.
They forgot their hats. Parasites.
They'll get sick again and die, no-one will look after them.
I'm tired of gluing wallpaper. I'm tired.
