Cerise

I don't understand.

You're 14?

- 3rd time this month. - What can I do?

You're her mother.

What?

I'm sick of it.

It was just a crappy pair of socks.

- You stole them! - Stop shouting.

I'm sick of picking you up from the police station!

I'm outta here.

- No! - OK, I'm outta here.

You haven't been to school.

They expelled you, Cerise!

Listen to me!

They're talking crap.

Those losers don't like me.

You don't answer your phone. Why do I pay your bill?

Pain in the ass!

Don't talk to me like that!

You treat me like shit!

You bust my balls!

You want to end up like me?

I'd sooner die, thanks!

I pay for private tuition. She doesn't even go!

She disappeared all weekend.

I phoned the hospitals.

She's driving me crazy.

You can't carry on like this.

Look at the state of you.

Ma'am, can I take a photo?

No!

- Why not pass her on to her father? - Her father?

He can't even remember her name.

- I won't go! - You will!

- Won't! - You will!

No!

Welcome to the asshole of the world!

Niet! Someone's coming to meet me.

DEMOCRACY FOR ALL

Roxy, you asleep, bitch?

Yep

- Shit! - You're French?

Dad?

C'mon, I didn't know it was you.

You gonna sulk as well?

As well as what?

Why don't you work at school?

I'm talking to you.

What?

You wanna end up a waitress like your mother?

That's a job for her!

Hey, Boris.

6 AM?

Did you bang her?

The blond bombshell just called me.

I'm on my way.

What the...

A brand-new shirt, dammit!

Unbelievable!

- Where are we? - My butcher's.

'Cause you're a butcher, too?

Quick! He's waiting!

Why's he here?

OK, OK! Enough!

Sorry to keep you waiting, Mr. Lukashenko.

Fred...

When I think of what you were in France...

Not bad, not bad.

A cook in a chain restaurant.

Want a photo?

So, how's the old man?

Old man's in meat!

Whose meat? LOL!

Meat butcher, bitch!

Loser!

She belongs on the street!

What's up?

Work! Come on!

Don't stay here. You're not at your mom's.

- There's hygiene rules. - Don't bust my balls.

Don't talk back in front of everyone.

Have you known Fred long?

You don't understand Russian?

I'm 14, I've a dumb name! Screw you!

What crappy taste!

Not there.

Where, then?

Here.

In the kitchen?

I can't find the words It all sounds fake

All those wasted moments I can't forget

I tried so hard Not to think of you

Take me in your arms Whisper to me

The smell of your skin Couldn't get enough

I know I was wrong And I blame myself

Did you sleep well, beautiful?

I'm Nina.

And you?

Cerise.

Eat! Eat!

So pretty!

Nina, why didn't you wake me?

Here you are, sir.

Is that yours?

Of course not! Whose do you think?

C'mon, I'm late!

- How do I get home? - Subway.

- Which station? - Livoberejna.

"Livo" what?

French School of Kiev

What do you want?

It's the new girl.

She doesn't speak Russian.

Meet Miss Cerise who's come straight from Paris,

as you can see.

My name is

Mrs...

Vo-lo-chok.

Your history teacher.

Welcome to your new 8th grade class

at the French School of Kiev.

There's a seat free next to Mikita.

I'll tell you about one of the major events of the 20th century:

the Bolshevik October Revolution.

How's things?

On November 7,

1917...

What do you want, loser?

...the people takes power thanks to

their charismatic leader...

Bored shitless in Loser Land!

Hey!

What did I just say?

Lenin?

And who is he?

A Brazilian rock singer?

Hey, Cerise, will you marry me?

Move!

Move, I said!

Can I sit here?

You're shitting me?!

Lenin's Russian, not Brazilian!

I suck at Russian music.

I love Paris.

I went several times with my mother.

Oh, yeah?

The Luxembourg Gardens, Carnavalet Museum...

Is that in Paris?

You read books?

Alexandre Dumas.

A buddy of Lenin's?

Lenin is to us a bit like what Napoleon is to you.

Napoleon?

- Fuckin' gross. - What?

I wanna puke.

Wannapook...

Your French sucks ass!

Livo... bejna?

Yeah, that's it.

Where's the fuckin' key?

At Nina's, Building fuckin' 3 opposite

What a dump!

You're painting the staircase?

Yes, we're doing subbotnik.

No-one cares anymore!

No-one does anything anymore!

It's everyone for himself.

You want the key?

No...

Hey, that's Lenin!

Lenin, yes, subbotnik.

Are you hungry, sweetie?

- Eat! - No, thanks.

Delish!

Cool color, huh? Triple coloring.

Strawberry highlights.

Is it a real one?

Yeah, Gucco!

Look.

A leopard-skin skirt to match the Wonderbra.

That's a Copacabana G-string.

That's my fave perfume.

You're into Samantha Gaye?

Wicked! This rocks!

What are you doing?

I look ugly in that...

Cerise, Matt Dyser...

Love forever!

Magic of love.

Demonstrators have occupied the square for a week.

They want the government out.

It seems the occupation of Maidan Square will last.

With supplies, a canteen, barricades, and an infirmary,

the people are showing solidarity with the movement

by offering services

such as food, medicine, and clothes to the demonstrators.

Welcome to my place.

Come in, girls. Make yourselves at home.

Now, champagne for all!

Do you like it here?
