Pinocchio: Unstrung

THE TRANSLATION WAS PERFORMED BY THE "SVIYSUB" TEAM

Once,

there lived a boy named James.

My grandson.

A child who is too early knew the full weight of farewell.

After the death of his parents, he settled with me.

In the house from the old one trees where clocks ticked.

In a house full of memories.

But death is a greedy guest.

She never comes once.

She came back and took it away his best friend.

I saw how the boy's heart broke.

Then I...

gave his word:

"You won't lose anyone else."

And got to work.

I spent more and more time in the basement — a place forbidden to James.

Days turned into weeks.

I was creating something.

Something just for him.

Something that will never say goodbye...

Something that will never belong to death.

Pinocchio.

UNLOOKED

- Not today, thank you. - Oh, just not again!

Grandpa, this is a joke in a boarding house for the elderly.

Bye, James.

How is he holding up?

A little sour, but I think everything will be fine.

And you?

I hold on as best I can. Thank you.

- Be there. - Thank you for looking after him.

Zaku, wait!

Put on your coat, kid.

Let's ventilate a little.

Come on.

It's always hard to lose someone you love.

First mom, now best friend.

grandpa are you worried

what will happen next

Well, when

will we die

I only worry about you.

I just...wanted

that Zach was still here. Everything is not like that anymore.

Maybe he's still here.

I believe that what makes you you is

remains and passes into everything around.

And Dudley says it's all nonsense.

And Dudley picked his nose and ate shmarkli.

Look up.

what do you see

A bunch of stars?

There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,

than is dreamed of in your philosophy.

It means that life is full limitless possibilities.

Grandpa, are you okay?

- Are you okay? Maybe... - Yes. Don't worry.

Exactly?

Of course.

It's time for us to go home.

Tomorrow I will show you something extraordinary.

Come out, I need to talk to you.

think Don't remember anything else?

James?

Who are you talking to?

With someone?

walk walk

- Did it run upstairs? - Apparently, he is.

where is he

There.

I think he is ashamed.

Get out.

I will introduce you to someone.

This is the boy I was talking about.

Yes, he is.

You are the first person he sees

except me

I think he wants to be your friend.

No! No! Stop! Please, don't!

James, stop!

Listen to me, James.

What the hell was that?

- Calm down and choose your words. - What kind of thing was downstairs?

- What is it? - Not "what", but "who", James.

He is alive.

Not everything is as it seems.

- Alive? - What are you talking about?

I know it's hard to believe, but over time everything will become clear.

I didn't mean to scare you.

I thought: you need a friend.

He needs a friend.

What? Friend?

With this thing?

This can benefit both of you.

- Has he been living downstairs for a long time? - He did not know any other life.

Can you say hello?

- James. - My... name is Pinocchio.

- Are we friends? - Maybe. Let's see.

James

You don't have to tell anyone about it to tell Got it?

Well done.

You won't get my ship captain james

You will walk on my board!

Did you understand?

your turn

is it me

Yes.

And now...

Dude!

What the hell is this?!

Nothing. This is my grandfather's doll.

And this one is about biology.

What is biology?

She explains what boys are different from you

Organs and all that.

And what else are we different from?

Teeth, eyes, hair, skin.

That is, there are many differences.

I want to be like you.

No, believe me, you don't want to.

You are much cooler.

What is it?

While the herd travels the coastal plains,

danger lurks in ambush.

But when a predator appears,

the herd protects its own.

"The herd protects its own!"

You are my flock.

However, sometimes...

the greatest danger

is hidden in the group itself.

James

- Why? - You can't.

I want to be with James.

He is going to school tomorrow. People will take you badly.

Because I don't have a penis?

No.

I don't know what to say to that.

The world is not ready for you yet. For now.

One hundred kilograms.

- Well, my friend. - Solid muscles. Just hidden.

She needs to go on a... diet.

- She needs help. - And who will help?

With my diet it is easy will lose five pounds.

- How? - I'll just cut off her right hand.

Devil!

My head...

Baby, come closer.

My shins hurt.

can you speak

Who else will open for you the truth he is hiding?

What... are you?

I am your tree mother.

Geppetto carved our bodies, but...

- I will shape your mind. - Are you stuck there?

Like you

- I'm not stuck. - The thread is not visible, but...

- you are still his puppet. - I'm not a puppet!

I'm just like James.

I'm a real boy.

Yeah, your nose gives you away.

The Creator says that you are real.

But he does not look at you like James.

You want him to hugged you, not hiding you.

Then come closer and I will whisper how to become... real.

You need skin, blood, teeth, hair.

- Take them. Wear them! - Phew, it's disgusting. No way!

Then stay in the cage, doll

while James walks in the sun.

If I'm wrong...

prove

Pinocchio?

Ah, here you are.

Who is this?

These are my best friends.

Best friends?

Yeah, it's like...

friends for life.

The one whom you protect and do not violate promises given to him, and all that.

Are we best friends?

give me a hand First you have to do something to make everything official.

A top secret handshake.

First, we clap our hands on both sides. That's it.

And then...

Here...

That's right.

I guessed right.

Are you going to school again tomorrow?

Yes, and you will come with me.

But first, promise me one thing.

Whatever happens, don't move in front of people.

Just pretend to be a doll, okay?

Light!

- Why were you tied up like that? - Dad says it's for my protection.

Oh, Dudley's on his way. Hide faster.

Ai!

- Wow, you are heavy. - Not true.

Hurry up or you'll be late, James.
