Can you see anything?
No, it's not the time yet.
Shall we drop a bomb?
What?
Let's drop a bomb.
No, we'll scare them off.
- Have you seen it? - Are they them?
We've scared them off.
Are you ready?
I am, I can see him.
Attack, Lioness!
What's that? I don't get it.
Fire! Why don't you fire?
I can't. The axle is seized up.
Blast you!
Do something!
Come on!
Vadim, is he surrendering?
Hitler kaput!
Yes, he is.
Lioness, the war is over.
Kaverin, the war is over!
Victory!
Hurray!
Liosha, get up!
Victory!
We've won!
Somewhere in Germany
To the victory!
It was only to lay some tablecloth.
Is it bad when it's nice?
My bed reeks of engine oil.
He's left his sense of beauty with his Mom, to be preserved.
- I like the smell of engine oil. - That's a soldier's talk.
The war is over, one should think of girls, of love.
Guys,
let's drink to love!
Kaverin is Don Juan.
To love!
I'll drink to my Nastia.
I think, I'll quit drinking for ever.
And I'll get married.
My Nastia and I have already agreed
to go to the registry office, as soon as I am back.
She hasn't even seen you yet, has she?
Never mind, she's read about me in the newspaper.
Yes, you are a hero, having 152 sorties.
And what do I have?
I have 152 reprimands.
Why are you laughing? What can I talk to girls about?
They shouldn't be talked to, they should be loved.
Yes, Margarian is our strategist.
I ought to give the world at least 5 little Margarians.
Kaverin Liosha, what about you?
FIVE BRIDES
Omsk 99/120615170720
After the victory, on a special direction of comrade Stalin,
the flying unit was left to serve on the territory of Germany,
liberated from the fascists.
- What's the oil pressure? - The oil pressure is normal.
- Extend the flaps! - Yes, sir!
Good, we're approaching. Make the landing request.
Flowerpot, I am a tulip. Do you read me?
I am the flowerpot. Tulip, your landing is approved.
I can see you, guys.
- Vadim, it's 200. - I've got it, 200
- Vadim, it's 150. - I've got it, 150.
- It's 100. - I've got it, 100.
50, 40, 30, 20, 10, contact!
While you are flying here,
all the nice girls will be engaged.
I am very much worried about it.
The landing is forbidden.
Be seated.
Where did you fly?
Home, comrade major.
Home? Damn that holy cow.
Home is good.
How long shall we be idle?
Not for a long time.
I need a man to fly with to Smolensk military plant.
Let me fly with you, comrade major!
All right, Kaverin will fly there.
It's me.
Why Kaverin? We all want to go home.
Order is order and that's it.
Comrade major!
Sorry, guys, I…
Liosha!
Kaverin, get up!
Be quiet, it's me, Vadim.
What has happened?
Are you a friend to me?
Couldn't you ask it before?
Answer it.
Sure, I am.
Will you go into fire and water for me?
Into fire and water.
And into the registry office?
What a fool you are!
Listen, I am serious.
Here is Nastia's address.
It's only 50 km far from the airfield.
It will take you less than an hour to get there.
You'll come there and you will get married her right there.
Listen to me!
You'll come and marry her.
She is waiting, I've sent her the telegram.
You'll get married and you'll bring her here.
Will you do that?
- Will you? - Sure I will.
Wait, what will I do?
- You'll marry my Nastia. - Your Nastia?
- My Nastia. - I don't want to.
Why?
She is a very pretty girl,
but we can fail to get along.
Are you a fool? You'll marry her instead of me.
I'll give you my ID, my documents, you'll marry her as if you are myself.
I don't get you.
You will pretend to be myself. Don't you get it?
Not quite.
Liosha, find the girls for us also, we trust you.
Married people get ill rarer, it's statistics.
What's that?
They are wedding rings.
Are you crazy?
Do you now what will happen if he is caught?
Why aren't you asleep?
Lie down and get some sleep.
Stop babbling, get quiet.
Liosha, do you remember our dreams?
We dreamed to get back home victorious,
to walk along the streets with orders on…
And now do you know how long we will stay
here behind that barbed wire? For a year, for two?
I don't know.
Well, friend?
Will you do it?
Liosha!
Guys, where is Liosha?
What has happened?
Nothing.
Liosha, I haven't been sleeping the whole night thinking.
Bring me a wife too.
But let her be good, ripe as a peach.
I swear, I'll name my son after you.
Break a leg!
Thanks.
Good guy!
One more, one fewer, there is no difference.
We're flying over Katunki.
I've grown up there.
It's my homeland.
Somewhere near Smolensk.
Remember, you are bearing responsibility to carry the image
of soviet warrior-liberator trough the rejoicing
masses of soviet people.
So, first: you mustn't receive presents,
second: you mustn't drink booze
and speaking about girls…
I've got you.
But you'll hardly have time.
Where will you go?
The guys asked me to bring them some sunflower seeds.
- Seeds? - Yes, sir.
It is good, bring me some too.
Yes, sir.
But tomorrow I'll wait for you at the ramp at the appointed time.
I've got you, comrade major. May I go?
You may.
And I'll visit Masha in the snack bar.
Thank you, brother.
I've been walking for hours and the road seems to have no end.
Will you give me a lift to Bubnovka? I'm pressed for time.
Haven't you seen girls?
Though you can call me "brother", I won't be hurt.
I am Zoya.
I am Liosha.
Let's go.
Why are you so serious? Are you hungry?
There are some pies there.
I am driving the whole day, there is no time for me to have a snack.
I am not hungry.
So, are you going to stay there
or are you visiting someone?
On business.
Whom to?
I know them all in Bubnovka, I bring mail there.
To Nastia.
- Which one? - To Anastasia Karpova.
A Hero of the Soviet Union,
Dobromyslov, writes to her, is that right?
Sure.
Who are you?
I am Liosha, his friend.
Why hasn't he come himself?
He has sent her a telegram to wait…
I see.
There are Nastias in every village for him.
No, he has one Nastia.
Half a country writes to him and our stupid girl gets ready for wedding.
Be careful!
I knew it would be like that.
He sent his friend, being afraid to come.
Those are men!
I say I knew…
Here you are. I warned you.
Damn!
It's because of you and your Dobromyslov.
Let me help you.
Do it.
May I?
Come on!
Come on, my dear!
What the hell…?
Whoops!
Damn it all.
Come on!
Now.
I think that will work.
Don't get into my cabin with dirty hands, you'll stain it with dirt.
I see. Have you got a rag?
Yes, it's in the body.
I see.
Get it!
Spy!
I knew you were a spy the moment I saw you.
I'll take you to the police now, Kraut!
- Good day! - Good day!
Where is the commandant?
She should be around, she'll come soon.
- Well, thanks. - You are welcome.
- Help! - Are you out of your mind?
- Have you heard anything? - Nope.
Help!
It's your own fault.
Why are you yelling? I'll have only troubles because of you.
What wrong have I done to you?
I've seen it, you have various IDs!
Why are you hitting good people for no reason?
Are you good? Help!
Have you heard it?
No, it was probably an auditory illusion.
Fool! Do you take me for a spy?
Do you think I lied to you?
I can retell any Nastia's letter to Vadim.
He read her letters like books to us before going to bed.
He was not allowed to fly to Smolensk.
So he asked me to marry her instead of him.
My friends also…
Excuse me.
My brother-officers also decided to get married.
Good friends they are, damn them all.
Why don't you believe me?
We're all from the same military unit.
Use your brains.
Why should a spy have 5 IDs from the same military unit?
Why?
Try to understand, the guys are in Germany,
in the military unit.
They can see only barbed wire and guard towers.
Is that what they fought for?
So, will you keep silent?
What is going on here?
I am showing the comrade what is the correct way of making knots.
Who are you?
Senior Lieutenant Kaverin has arrived to the engine plant on business.
How did you happen to be here?
He's come to visit me.
During the war we've been writing to each other about...
...engines.
Your documents!
Here you are, please.
Take them back.
Why did you come here?
Zoya said you were here alone…
So?
without lunch.
We decided to bring you some pies.
Well, thank you.
It's time for us to go.
Petrovich, why have you frozen? Put me down.
Oh, my God!
Heave ho!
I'll jump myself.
I don't like this Kaverin.
Am I right Piotr Ivanovich?
I don't like him.
All right, it's clear about Nastia.
What then?
Will you have 4 weddings during a day?
We have 7 sorties a day, don't we?
The most important thing is to act vigorously and fast.
Later we'll sort the things out.
Is it a men's approach?
- Listen… - What?
No, nothing.
What's that?
No, just nothing.
Come on, tell me.
Would you, perhaps,
like to get married?
Are you crazy?
Is it written on my face I am single?
May be I have a fiance?
Sorry, I didn't know it.
Do you know what a good guy he is?
We are together since our school years.
He's taught me to swim.
He is a hero.
Never mind,
we'll settle all that down.
Don't be afraid.
I see, thank you.
- Well, I'm going. - Go.
Good day, Nastia.
You've come!
- Nastia… - Let's go.
… I've got to tell you.
You will, but later.
Mom!Dad! He's come!
This is Vadim Dobromyslov! We've read about you.
Look, what a hero he is!
My dear!
Come on, son-in-law, let's have a drink.
Why are we here?
Get into the house, come on.
Hello!
Meet Vadim Dobromyslov, a hero, a pilot!
Hello.
He's shot down 22 airplanes!
Have the place of honor!
Come on guys, let's drink to the hero of war!
Where are the glasses?
Come on, bring them here.
Nastia, I've got to tell you something.
You can't come in here, it's a bad sign.
So, son-in-law, let's drink.
Come on!
You are a real hero!
You are happy.
Katia, leave it.
You are lucky.
Don't cry or I'll also start weeping.
You'll see you'll also get luck.
Where can I get this luck?
There are 3 cripples in the village and all of them are married.
It's a nice dress.
Do you really like it?
You are a beauty.
This is a government ordinance.
For the displayed courage and heroism senior lieutenant
Dobromyslov Vadim is given the title
of the Hero of the Soviet Union
and is presented with Order of Lenin
and Gold Star of the Hero.
You are our hero.
To the Hero!
Hurray!
To the Hero! To the victory!
We've got to go.
If you offend her, I'll kill you.
Even if you were three times the hero.
Do you understand?
I see.
But I won't stay to celebrate your wedding, sorry.
I can't guarantee I will control myself.
Why are we sitting?
Well be late to get married.
Why didn't you tell her?
How could I?
I tried.
Her father also didn't want to listen to me.
Besides, it was inconvenient with all the guests present.
Inconvenient!
That's a men's approach.
Nastia, I've got to tell you something.
Later.
Later it will be late.
Stay quiet.
Dear Anastasia Savelievna, Vadim Mikhailovich,
on behalf of the Soviet power, all Soviet people
and on behalf of our village people as well
I congratulate you on this happy day.
Nastia, I am not Vadim.
All right.
What?
You are declared husband and wife.
My dear son!
Dear daughter!
My dear daughter!
It's because of happiness
He has said it.
How good it is you've come to your consciousness.
I was so worried.
What's up?
Don't come up to me.
Comrades, don't worry, never mind, you understand it yourselves.
Nastia! Nastia!
You all be seated, those are family matters,
we'll sort everything out.
Nastia! Nastia!
They are the youth!
Hell's bells!
Zoya, get hold of her.
Don't come up to me.
Halt, Nastia, halt I say!
Don't come up to me.
Who are you?
I am Liosha Kaverin, Vadim's friend.
I am sure he wrote to you about me.
Where is Vadim?
He couldn't come.
Can you stop wailing at least for a minute?
No, I cannot.
Nastia, please, Nastia!
Nastia, shut up!
He's sent me to take you to him. Do you understand?
Here is his ID. Look.
We'll get married and tomorrow I'll take you to his unit.
Why didn't he come himself?
He couldn't, he was not allowed.
Blind me, it's true.
He loves you very much, very much.
Is it true?
It is.
It's good you are not him.
Why?
His face seemed to look nicer.
Yes, besides he shot down 20 "Messerschmitts".
So, agreed?
Agreed Agreed.
Why are you just standing there?
Hurray to a new soviet family!
Hurray!
Kiss!
Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!
Kiss! Kiss!
Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6…!
How many?
Three more.
During a day?
Yes. You are my only hope
It's great responsibility.
It's not just to have a dance.
You are right.
Embrace me.
Sorry, what?
Embrace me.
They are a nice couple.
When will you get married?
Me? I don't know, nobody's calling.
Look. Perhaps that one? With a beret on.
Whom to? There are only oldies in the village.
She is a nice girl.
It's good.
So, let's drink.
Come one, fill in the glasses.
Let's drink to them, to the young.
To their happiness!
Let them have all they need.
To their health!
Stand up, stand up!
Stand up, let's dance.
You shouldn't have been afraid to remain hungry.
The mailer has his own joy.
It's time for me to go. Bye.
Are you leaving?
Am I your babysitter?
It's a pity.
I thought we…
What?
I agree.
Is he handsome?
He is.
Have you got his photo?
No, I haven't.
All right, I'll take it on trust.
Let's take the things, get married fast
and then we'll part.
You are doing great without my help.
It's just lunchtime
and you've found two of them.
Then thank you and…
All right, agreed.
Thanks. Excuse me.
Once I've got involved…
This and that.
Shall we say farewell?
Shall I be waiting for you?
Uh-huh.
Good luck.
Let's go.
Thank you.
Mom, Dad, we've got to leave
Is it time?
The departure is in the morning, I wouldn't like to be late.
I'll write to you.
I'll go too to see them off.
Thank you Savely Ivanovich.
That's right, I'll go too.
No, you shouldn't.
It's inappropriate and it is far.
Dad, there is no need.
I'll go too.
My daughter is leaving, my own flesh and blood.
No, Mom, you stay at home.
There is no enough room for all.
We have a tractor!
Kolia, shall we be able to get to Smolensk?
We can get even to Berlin.
Where did you get her? "I'll go to see them off".
How did I know they would latch on?
Don't quarrel, girls.
You should've thought better, cuckoo.
Stop it, girls
I wouldn't go to reconnaissance with such a partner.
I wouldn't entrust her even with boiling eggs.
What?
You are dirty, you're reeking of oil a mile away.
What?
You're hurt you haven't been proposed to get married, I see.
That's it.
Get off all of you. You've arrived.
No way.
I'll do as Alexey will tell me.
Alexey, it's your choice: either we'll make her get off
or you'll go on foot all of you.
Is it clear?
Zoya, she was kidding.
I wasn't.
You are a slattern!
That's enough!
Aleksey Petrovich!
Liosha, it's necessary to part them somehow.
No, it's useless.
Off with you!
Good day.
Katia, don't take too many things and be quick.
I'll be back in no time.
Shall I help you?
No, you needn't.
Holy moley!
Have you known her since long ago?
My friend's brought her to me.
She is a tailor.
She seems to be a burglar.
Let me go.
Where to?
So, senior lieutenant, let's get ready to escape.
May be, she needs some help.
Cannot a sewing machine get through the doorway?
I'll probably go and see.
May I go with you?
No.
Where are you going?
Don't command here!
You are again intending to do something wrong!
I'll do what I intend.
Let me go.
Stop disgracing us!
Let me go!
Stop disgracing the family.
Granny, lock the door.
Sort yourselves out.
If you don't want it in a good way, I'll do it in a bad one.
Why do you decide for all?
Do you think being 10 minutes elder, you can command here?
It's unfair!
You are in two and I am alone.
Asia, let her go.
Don't interfere.
If you have no brains, ask other people.
That's enough!
I have a fiance
When did you manage to get him?
What fiance?
All men in our village are few and far between.
He is a stranger, a pilot.
Their unit is in Germany.
Good day.
Good day, who are you?
I am the fiance.
That's him.
Are you contused?
Why do you think I am?
If you are not contused and have intact legs,
why do you need Katia?
She is not a girl, she is a walking disaster.
One can think you are much better.
Shut up.
Who was going to the front as a junior nurse in 1941?
Who got pneumonia on the way to the assembly point?
We could hardly cure her.
We had had to kill our last hen.
And do you know what happened last year?
How could I know?
They were barefooted, with beards…
She took them for partisans
and gave those cheaters all our monthly allowances.
Why do you need her?
I love her.
Why do you need him?
She loves me.
Don't worry, my intensions are serious.
He'll fly away in two hours.
I will.
Either with me, or without me.
Wait.
Take it, my darling.
Misha! Misha!
Why are you yelling?
He's having rest after lunch.
He'll rest later. I've got to get married, urgently.
Misha! Hello!
Oh, a pilot!
I've got to get married him.
Have you got documents?
Yes, here you are, please.
Are you abstainer?
I am.
Once there came a tankman here.
He also said he was an abstainer.
Later he drank all the moonshine in the village,
drowned a tractor in the river and was gone.
Why should you remember of it now?
Why?
You've cried all your eyes out.
Be quick, a plane is waiting for him.
Come on in.
Mind your head!
A pilot!
On behalf of the Soviet power
and all the soviet people you are declared husband and wife.
Now, kiss.
What?
Kiss!
Thank you.
We've got to go.
What about the photo?
Sorry, we have no time.
It's the first wedding after the war.
I've already sent a boy to invite a cameraman.
Let's have our picture taken.
The granny will have it as a remembrance.
He is a good cameraman,
a former war correspondent.
I am already here.
Here he is!
What a creep you are!
Let's have a seat, calm down and talk it over.
Where are you going to?
Have a look!
Holy cow!
Don't touch him.
He tried what he thought would be better.
There are so many single girls!
You wanted to do much good for all at once, don't you?
I've said where Katia is there is a misfortune there.
Dad!
Sonny!
Get hold of the bigamist!
Follow me!
Start up your tarantass.
What the heck?
Come on, come on.
Come on, start up! Dash it!
To horses!
Get into the cart!
The wedding was great.
Congratulations.
It's very funny.
I've lost my wedding veil.
Thanks for the information.
I say: "Thanks for the information.
We are working on it. "
I see. We're waiting.
So?
She'll come soon.
There was nobody here before.
Mazaiev.
All right, I'll be Mazaiev.
Are you sure?
I have no choice.
That is the end of it.
All right. Shall I go?
Good luck.
Good day, comrades!
Good day.
What's the problem?
Show your documents, please
Here are my documents
It's a check.
Would you like a cigarette, sergeant?
Thanks, I don't smoke.
Good day. What's in the body?
Good day.
There are letters and mail there.
Letters?
Excuse me. Sorry.
Never mind.
That's him!
Come here!
Let me explain everything. It's my own fault.
The girl-driver has nothing to do with it.
I made her drive, having intimidated.
You were right, comrade doctor.
We've been waiting for you for almost an hour.
Let's go across the woods, this way is shorter.
I don't understand…
Where to?
Thanks! We'll go on foot now.
What?
Where are they taking him?
How could I know?
She says she doesn't know.
Shall we perhaps let the doctor go first?
He'll shoot him.
We haven't got another doctor.
That's out of my line.
You are a doctor, aren't you?
I… am.
Then, it's in your line.
What if we send the doctor to get in from behind the house?
He is skinny and he will get there through the window.
Right, and we'll be drawing his attention away.
Yes. So, doctor, hit or miss.
Come on, come on.
Follow me.
Hey you, have you thought better of it?
Get out on your own will, or I'll make it hot for you!
Hush everybody!
Before you confess who the father is I won't let you in.
Comrade doctor, this way.
Get into the house.
Be patient my dear.
I cannot.
The doctor will come soon.
I can't stand it any longer.
Be patient.
What can I do?
He'll come soon.
Take my word.
He has already been sent for.
He'll come soon.
Be quiet, my dear, be patient.
Quiet my dear, be patient.
What a shameless muzzle!
How could you get in?
I know how.
You are a doctor!
At last! Be quick!
My dear, be patient! The doctor is already here.
Well, come on!
She probably needs a bandage and… an enema.
What are you saying? She's delivering a baby!
Be quiet!
I have an external medical degree.
We were supposed to go to the front as soon as possible.
They taught us only to debride wounds
and take care of the wounded.
We didn't have any obstetrics.
Be quiet!
Don't just stand there, do something!
You are a doctor after all!
I don't even know organization of our body there!
You'll be able to manage it without me.
I won't let you go!
Bring water.
Now! All right, dear, just a moment.
I'll kill the first to come.
He's killed me!
There was an incident when
a woman went to the forest and didn't return.
So what?
That's it.
The incident reminds me of our Liosha.
He also went away and didn't return.
Hush, chickens. Stop cackling.
Girls, stop it, will you?
Why should she bother?
She can't understand a married woman.
My husband is waiting for me.
For me too.
I bet I don't!
Stay here, I'll be back.
Yes, go and see if he is being tortured.
They'll take us soon too.
You are a hornet!
You are a slattern.
Katia!
Wedlock is a strong thing isn't it?
I haven't seen my husband yet, but I'm already missing him.
So am I
What a strange doctor you are!
Look, perhaps I'm doing something wrong.
No, everything's excellent.
If we don't pay attention to her yelling so much.
But it's normal isn't it?
Doctor!
Probably it is.
It's well done.
Really.
I wouldn't have done it.
Doctor!
Don't worry.
It's not an amputation after all.
Who is that jerk?
Finally he's come!
Yegor, don't do it.
It is necessary.
So, you are the creep.
I'll teach you how to defile other men's wives.
Put your gun away, idiot, or you'll kill somebody.
I will, why?
Was it not enough for you to shoot during the war?
Yegor came home from the front, she got pregnant.
Time to deliver the baby came,
Yegor counted the time, it didn't match,
he thought the baby wasn't his.
Whose then?
During last years all children in our village were born prematurely.
They are Ustin, Artiom, Passa, Uliana, the red one…
Where is the doctor?
We helped him to get through the window.
How come?
Is he inside?
She is delivering baby inside and he is with her.
Gun!
Give me your gun!
Leave it!
I went in for boxing before the war.
And I bent horseshoes.
Cool down, Yegor, cool down!
Shoot! Shoot, I don't care.
I love her!
During the war I had been thinking only about her.
I thought we would live well together
Zoya, what are you doing?
And what is he doing?
What are you doing?
Why are you yelling?
She's born a boy.
She's born a premature baby.
He is ours.
He is red.
What do you mean red?
I'll kill the oldie.
I'll kill you, oldie!
Yegor, forgive me!
Shall we go?
I didn't do it for myself.
I tried my best for the Motherland.
Let the old fool go.
Let him go.
Women! Beat him!
Hey! Halt! Halt I say! Halt!
Where are you going, doctor?
I've got some business.
In 1943 I captured a German officer.
Be sure I'll handle you. Who are you?
I am a doctor. She is my driver.
Good day.
Where did you study, doctor?
What do you mean?
Yes, where?
Where all doctors did.
And where did all study?
In the main medical institute of the country.
What kind of sutures will you place on a cavity wound?
Loop, knot-adapting or screwing ones?
Well?
Repeat the question, please.
Good day.
Is it the chairman's house?
It is.
Where is the parturient? I am a doctor.
The doctor is in the house.
I am the doctor!
And who is there in the house?
There is our bigamist there!
Do you think I'll believe you?
You can either believe us or not,
but if you give him away, several people will become unhappy.
If you let him go…So?
Catch him! Get hold of him!
So?
It's up to you.
Run there, be quick.
Get hold of him! Get the bigamist!
Get the creep!
Thank you.
Never mind. I haven't decided anything yet.
Why are you hiding us then?
I have to think it over.
He is not doing it for himself;
he is doing it for his friends.
They are very good guys.
I have found brides for almost all of them.
If you don't believe us, go and see yourself.
They are in the truck.
Have you said "almost"?
It should be thought over.
My dear, why should you?
That's a good thing, it's for the young,
on their own accord.
Why shall I stay there?
There are no single men there, except the oldie.
I want to deliver a baby too.
Where can we be registered?
I know where, wait.
I have a friend, working in the registry office. She'll register us.
She is in Petiunino village now, dancing.
So, if we don't get married then we'll dance.
All right, it's not far from here.
Zoya…
Where is the truck?
Truck!
Zoya…
Holy cow! Girls, what have you done?
Have you gone crazy?
Have you got any brains?
Where have you driven my truck into?
I tried my best.
I sat at the wheel, turned the key, the engine got started.
I shifted the lever, turned the wheel…
I saw you doing all that.
Kaverin! Good guy!
You've found excellent brides!
A fool and a pathologic fool!
Am I to blame for all that?
Why the hell did you touch soviet property with your hands?
You left us alone.
There was another truck driving by, we had to hide ours.
The truck was driving about…
Neither Katia nor I can drive.
Hush!
Get into the truck or they'll capture us now.
You are not brides, you are misfortunes,
and a cabbage stump instead of your heads.
You've gone and done it, girls.
That is instead of "thank you".
I am Nastia.
I am Marusia, hi!
Hi!
Are you a bride?
No, I am a doctor.
I am Katia.
Give me the things.
Thanks
Are you in, chicks?
We are.
Slattern.
What's up? Again?
We've run out of gas.
Oh!
There was no need to drive without us.
The village is not far from here. We'll cut the corners.
Will you cut the corners?
All right, we'll go to the club on foot and what then?
Will you fly?
Can you see it, Aleksey?
She's the first to start quarrelling.
What do you say, hornet?
Girls…
All right, let's cut the corners.
I'll go to look for her
Comrade senior lieutenant, can you dance?
No. I won't stay here long.
What's up, girls?
All right, this way.
Come on, come on.
This way. 1, 2, 3…
1, 2, 3…
Sorry, I stepped on your foot.
Never mind.
I am sorry.
It's all right. 1, 2, 3…
1, 2, 3…
I stepped on your foot again.
Never mind.
You are so clumsy.
I love clumsy guys.
I love them very much.
Comrade senior lieutenant, why are you so timid?
It's a men's approach.
Listen, let's run away together, shall we?
Move aside.
Have you got gas?
I have.
I need gas very badly.
Don't grudge, I'll pay for it.
I'll drive to you later and pay for it.
Don't you believe me?
I'm telling you I cannot.
Have you danced enough?
I just… even… somehow…
So, what?
The gas is worth its weight in gold.
I haven't got spare gas.
I drive the whole day without refueling.
We have accountability,
there is no enough gas for us either.
Give us your helping hand.
I can do it,… That's another pair of shoes.
…but let the girl kiss me.
What's that?
Forget it. Let's go.
At least it was offered.
Be quiet, be quiet.
Let's go, Zoya. Let's go.
Did you say a kiss?
Well, let it be.
Keep change for yourself
I'll bring it now.
Is that the way you want?
What's wrong, dancer?
All right, all right.
Girls, there is an eligible guy.
One piece. You'll have to decide right now.
You have just a minute, the time has started.
She is crazy.
Have you kissed enough?
Why should you count my kisses?
I don't care, but what will your fiance say?
Have you decided to tell him?
I don't need it.
Confess, you re jealous.
Don't count on it.
Is it clear?
Thanks, my friend.
Here it is.
If you want something, tell me.
It's very funny.
Dad, please, leave me!
I am a grown up.
Liosha, Zoya, run away.
I'll show you…
Got you, polygamist!
I told you I would kill you for Nastia
Halt, girls!
Here is the guy!
You are also here!
Escape!
Get hold of him!
Zoya…
Come on.
Katia, jump.
Nastia, be quick
You should've said he attracted
girls like bees to a honeypot.
Well, as they say…
Kiss!
You may kiss your bride.
Don't be shy.
If you want, I can turn around.
Yes.
Do you want me to turn around?
Hello, comrades.
Good day, comrades.
Hi, lieutenant.
Show your documents!
Give me all of them.
I think we are having a large scale
and carefully planned crime.
How can it be?
He seemed to be such a kind, open-faced and good man.
The most important thing is he didn't do it for himself,
What a naive person you are, comrade Sinitsina!
Is it good in our uneasy time?
Don't be afraid.
The whole thing will blow over.
Oh, yes.
You'll be given another medal and they will let you go home.
You'll be shot.
At the best I'll send you garlic at call to Magadan.
I didn't know you worried about me so much.
I like it.
Not likely.
By the way the parcels are sent from the central post office.
One should wait for three hours in line there.
Why the hell do I need you?
I don't need your garlic either
If you don't need it, devise something.
My guy would devise something long ago.
Was he often imprisoned?
What will be his lot?
It will be decided by the tribunal.
What about the girls?
That will be decided later.
All marriages will be annulled.
The girls will be under house arrest.
Stop crying.
Tell me, where do you know Maria Yepiphanova from?
May I have some water, please?
What?
Nothing serious.
I have a heart disease since my childhood.
What kind of disease?
Stop it!
If you give me some water, very thing will be all right.
I will.
I'll bring it myself.
Stay here, don't leave.
I'll be quick.
What's his name?
Artiom.
Or Ilya..
Or Yura.
There were 11 boys in our class.
All of them went to the front,
into the same regiment, like musketeers.
It was a men's approach wasn't it?
In October 1943, none of them was left to write to
Don't be afraid.
Everything will be all right.
So, it's ready.
They are some flowers for you.
Thanks.
Why are you still there?
Come on! Run!
Well done! Come on, come on!
Halt!
Get hold of them!
Follow them!
Run!
It's your fault!
They have escaped!
Where is…?
I am a married woman now.
What?
I am a married woman now.
Isn't that cute of you, Lilia!
I couldn't stand it, I wanted to be married.
Kaverin, my congratulations, you have fulfilled the plan.
But all our brides are under house arrest
and the plane will take off pretty soon.
Never mind, we'll drive to the airfield,
collecting all of them on the way.
All right.
Take it.
Congratulations!
But no kisses.
It's bitter.
Where has that damn oldie disappeared?
Get your Marusia. Hold on!
Everything's whirling!
Come on! Faster!
It's for the young, on their own accord.
And it's fun for me.
"Do collect your garden yield, dear Kirov has been killed…"
Perhaps your sister will bring you to reason.
Give her some milk.
Your… what's his name?
He's come voluntarily.
Oleg is keeping watch over him.
He asks me to assist you to escape.
And what do you think?
What?
I think that'll be wrong.
You should grow up.
You have already made too many mistakes.
Let's go.
You'll write to him a message
that you've changed your mind and we'll let him go.
Otherwise, he'll be tried.
That's it.
Mom always said it was not bad to make mistakes.
It was bad to be inert during the whole life.
Calm down, everything will be all right.
Thanks for not grassing me up.
Halt! It's me!
Katia!
Take care of my sister.
She is the best of all.
I was very glad to get acquainted with you.
Has she eaten?
Nope.
Watch the paling.
Fiodorych, take your position at the wicket.
Let him only try to get here!
Here he is.
There are many of them there
They're waiting for us to come.
Let's go without Nastia, girls.
I won't go anywhere without Nastia.
We should go all together.
She is nobody to me but I will not act counter to the public.
It's a women's approach.
I appreciate your solidarity,
but you have a special day for it…
The 8th of March.
Be quiet.
Let's go.
You've come on your own will, haven't you?
So, receive the load.
That viper wanted to take us with him.
Yes, he did
We bumped him on the head…
And now he is here.
What should we do now?
The commandant said to wait for her.
She will have her motorbike repaired and come soon.
We've tied him up.
Give us some water at least. You are welcome, get in.
In order not to waste time, the commandant gave you an order.
Those who witnessed the crimes
of the polygamist should write applications.
I didn't witness them.
Write in details: what, where and when.
Shall we write it in letters?
Documents are documents, let's get in.
Write down every detail.
It's a pity it wasn't me who caught you.
I wouldn't have talked much.
I would've blown your brains out.
Piotr Ivanych, come here!
The motorbike has been stolen!
It's because of your fastidiousness!
"Here I can be seen, here the nettle is pricking my butt…"
Next time I'll show you your
"Girls - to the left, boys - to the right"
We'll pee together, right here!
Let's go to look for the motorbike!
What a rascal!
Men!
The commandant has arrived.
Assist us to load the criminal.
Take it.
Have you done it, crook?
Let him jump himself.
Come on, bandit.
Fraud!
Be quick.
Come on, you won't break.
Halt!
Come on.
Mind it!
I'll go with you.
Just to be on safe side.
Where should we put the applications?
You should finish them first.
Put the dates, your signatures, all should be done properly.
You've got nice shoes, major.
Stop for a moment.
It's forbidden.
I insist on it.
Stop, major.
Oh my God! No!
Come on!
What if somebody hears?
Nobody will. Come on.
Is it not dangerous?
It is.
It's never late to get into a fix at night.
Run, my dear, run.
Where are you going?
Come back!
She has escaped! Help! Help!
Nastia!
Help! They have escaped!
Nastia!
Let's escape, girls!
I've emptied gas tank in their tractor!
Forward!
Come on, be quick.
Now tell me, what you have planned.
Come on.
Hey! Halt! Halt or I'll shoot.
Where is Kaverin?
What's wrong?
It didn't go the way we wanted.
He shot and our Liosha fell into the ravine.
There are 20 meters there,
he fell right there and that was it.
Didn't you go to find him?
Why?
There are 20 meters there.
Hi, girls.
Kaverin!
What's up, girls?
Why did you jump there?
I though you were…
If you believed it, then they also believed it.
I learnt to jump long ago.
I remember when I…
You were shot at!
It's a men's approach.
Girls!
What's wrong with them?
Girls! Zoya!
Comrade major!
Senior lieutenant Kaverin has arrived by the appointed time.
Why are you having such an appearance?
Where is your belt?
Sorry, comrade major.
What those "flowers" are doing here?
Why are there strangers on the airfield?
No, sir, they are not strangers!
Let me introduce them to you!
Comrade Dobromyslova, comrade Mazaieva, comrade Lomakina, comrade Margarian
have arrived to go to their husbands' place of service.
What the heck?
What are you talking about?
What "their husbands' place of service"?
Comrade major, think it over.
It's for your advantage.
Your Alla is the only woman in the garrison.
Now there will be 5 women there!
The attention of the personnel will disperse.
5 days of arrest!
Yes, sir!
Get in, matrioshkas!
Take off! Kaverin!
I won't have to send you garlic, will I?
Probably not this time.
Good luck.
I am glad for your sake, girls.
Bye.
It's time to say good bye.
Good luck.
Halt! Surrender, comrade Kaverin. That's it.
What's going on comrade major?
We must take off.
You'll have to take off later.
Using false documents comrade Kaverin got married many times.
I repeat it: many times!
You are false yourself.
The documents are authentic.
Get away from the airfield, brides.
That's it.
Just a moment, comrade major.
They are my officers' wives.
Yes!
So it's me who ought to command them.
Ladies, get into the plane.
Yes, sir!
Halt I said! Halt!
Kaverin has committed a crime.
He used other people's documents.
It's a crime.
So I delay your departure.
Shame on you, girls!
No sooner had you been beckoned,
you pulled the skirts up and followed him.
The hell with you!
You are exaggerating.
"Beckoned"!
He had been writing to her for three years
before we agreed to their wedding!
Yes!
Shut up I said!
It's not fair.
We've been living in misery for the whole life.
The war is over.
We want to live.
I am not ashamed.
I want to love and to be loved.
Whose side are you on, major?
During 5 years there was only one wedding in the village.
Marusia married yesterday.
You won't make us stay.
We've been waiting for it for too long.
Is that right?
Go, daughter, don't listen to anybody.
Comrade major!
Will you perhaps forget it?
Pretend you didn't notice them having got married.
What about the witnesses?
There were witnesses of that!
Are there witnesses of false weddings here?
Well?
Are there?
There are no witnesses.
There are not.
Any questions?
No questions. Give him his waist belt back.
All get into the plane. Period. Kaverin…
Yes, sir.
Why are you looking at me? Dash it!
Now, it's time to say good bye.
Yes, it is.
Thank you.
Don't mention it. It was not difficult.
All right, it's time for me to go…
It's time for me to go too.
Because of you I haven't delivered the mail.
Good luck.
Thanks.
Have a safe flight.
Good bye.
Bye.
What's up?
You are a wimp, senior lieutenant.
It happens once a life.
And only in fairy tales.
It's not late yet.
Come on!
What?
Come on!
Galia, why are you scolding me always?
I love you, Galia.
Conspiracy.
There should be conspiracy.
I cannot live without you already.
That's it.
Is it a men's approach?
Kiss!
Now be serious.
Is your intention…?
Yes it is.
Senior lieutenant, is your attention mutual and voluntary?
Yes. It is.
It's too big.
Yes.
You try.
All right.
That's it.
It fits.
Congratulate each other.
Thank you.
Good luck. Good-bye.
Alla! Alla, where are you?
I'll kill you!
Darling, don't do it!
My life is so hard!
How could you? You are an officer's wife!
Bitch!
Come up here.
Remove it.
THE FILM IS DEDICATED TO OUR GRANDMOTHERS AND GRANDFATHERS.
