BURNT BY THE SUN 2

When I was little,

Mom gave me a piece of bread

she baked herself.

It was the best tasting covered with butter...

and, oh yeah... with jam on top.

It was something delicious. A masterpiece.

Oh... an insect.

I enjoyed a looking at how the jam melted...

and I suffered... I stared for a long time... at those goodies...

and I suffered... strengthening my will.

Well, Semyon?

So have you ever eaten this sandwich?

Klim, Klim you eat it.

Why me? Say, Semyon ask yourself.

- Klim! - Yes?

You eat, right?

You have no idea of such delicious things.

Well... Marusia?

Am I right, huh?

And we have for you...

What?

Comrade Stalin, please forgive me...

we have prepared something for you...

a gift... a surprise.

- Can we...? - Why do you ask me?

I'm a guest here and you're the host. A surprise is a surprise.

Thank you.

Come, come!

Get a move on guys, faster... faster!

Yes... come on, come on, boys!

What a splendor!

Come join us!

Well... take it.

Together, we will eat Comrade Stalin. Come on, Semyon.

Oh... what, you don't want to eat Comrade Stalin?

Give me the knife.

Oh... what a wonderful smell!

A beautiful smell.

And it smells so wonderful.

Kotov!

Nadia.

Nadia! Kotov, who is Nadia? Kotov, stop it!

What is to come...

- Hey, what is that? - Kotov is screaming again!

Nadia!

- Hey, shut his mouth! - Quiet, quiet, what is it?

- What? Can't you calm down an old man? - The same nightmare?

Well now... well, well. Sit here, sit down.

I did not want, did not want to...

I did not want to...

Here drink some water.

Wake up... goons!

Wake up, wake up!

Everyone convicted of Article 58, except Kotov, must go to the sawmill!

- Everyone else in the square! - Why not Kotov, where should I go?

I'll repeat once again for the deaf!

All convicted of Article 58 to the sawmill, except Kotov!

The rest to the square! How many times do I have to repeat?

What article? Over to the square!

- Which article? - 58. Now, to the sawmill! Move!

- What article? - 58. Come on, come on, to the mill!

- Vasya, Vasya, take the kitten. - Leave the cat there!

Take them, you hear screams.

Article 58 - all to the mill!

The rest of their belongings to the square!

It's just a dream, damn dream.

Listen...

Listen... listen up!

I'm also in Article 58, I have to go with them.

- Go on prisoner! - I have an Article 58!

See.

- Is that you, Kotov? Sergei Petrovich? - Yes.

Your Article 58 was re-examined and they changed you to 129, that's all.

And what is it? Wait, what is Article 129?

I don't know, after all it's need to know!

Maybe you know the Criminal Code?

- Tell me... - Go ask a criminal!

...criminal!

- But you're 58, where are you going? - They told me to go here.

Petrovich, what are you doing here? Aren't you a 58?

I told him that I'm a 58, and he said that I got moved to a 129.

I asked him what was an Article 129, I must know...

- Oh, Vanya... - What is this Article 129?

Why, I think it's "murder with aggravating circumstances."

What? What's this?

Nothing, nothing, I'm joking, ...I'll find out for sure.

- What is Article 129? - I don't know, I only know 142.

- What is Article 129? - What?

- 129. - I don't know, I have not heard.

Demian... Demian, what is this Article 129?

- 129? - Yes.

I don't remember.

Looting of state assets.

Looting of state assets.

Looting of state assets.

- Looting of state assets. - What?

But, they write what they want. Well, at least it's not murder.

What the hell, stealing? What, would I rob him of his spurs?

Comrade Captain!

Comrade Captain, to load 50 men we would need 12 trucks!

- Are the trucks there? - Sure, then they will go on foot.

...documents on those of Article 58?

- Go to the sawmill, the sawmill! - I understand.

Everyone attention!

Everyone attention!

Come on, come quickly to the center!

Why do you run like sheep? Let's find out why they had herded us here!

Come here, here! Stop!

Hold on, oh yeah, well.

- Are musicians coming! - Utyosov!

What is this, a party, bitches?

Once... one, two! Test microphone!

Attention!

June 22 - German Fascist invaders

without declaring war

have insidiously invaded our homeland.

I thought so!

We must immediately start the evacuation of prisoners.

War.

This is War, Vanya.

War! War!

Sit down... sit! Sit down and sit!

Listen, Vanya... leave everything...

hang on to your ass...

- Do what I do, understand? - Everybody sit down!

Sit! Everybody sit!

The evacuation will take place on foot!

The trucks are being used by our troops!

When you're told to go, you go, you don't go, you're shot! Understand?

I repeat...

whoever will not listen...

will be shot on site!

They will not leave anybody.

Enemies of the nation ride in prison trucks, and we have to go on foot?

Now, Vanya, now, follow me!

Personal Files

May 1943, Moscow, Kuncewo, Stalin's villa

- Colonel Arsentiev. - Hello, hello.

Yes?

Can I come in?

- Good morning, Comrade Arsentiev. - Hello, Comrade Supreme Commander.

Come in, come. Come here, come on.

All my life I dreamed of learning to play...

This piano was a gift from the Spanish communists.

Zhdanov played on it, they liked him,

...but Zhdanov

Zhdanov...

and you are a professional musician, try it and tell me if it's a good instrument.

Try, try.

It's a great instrument, Comrade Stalin.

It plays very nicely.

- What should I play? - Just play what you want.

But... I have not played in several years.

I think you still play better than me. Play.

The music is beautiful.

Tell me, please, comrade Arsentiev what do you know about Commander Kotov?

Comrade Stalin, the former Division Commander

in accordance with the order of June, 24 1941 was executed on

June 25 of the same year, at prison camp 5764,

because of ongoing fighting in that territory.

According to our information Kotov was not shot in '41.

Why did you stop? Please, play.

We received a note with the minutes of a meeting on April 27, 1941.

According to thisn'te, the article was changed from a political crime.

This document was found with the dead commander of the camp.

It is interesting, this document shows, that the matter concerning Kotov

at a special council meeting on June, 24 1941

There was no mention of such an event.

- Did you know anything about this document? - I did not know.

- Comrade Stalin... - No, no, play on, it's just talk, play, play.

Yes... how nice it sounds when you play.

- That is to say that you didn't know about it? - I did not know.

Well... Lavrenty?

Where was this document?

And what about the family?

But you knew his family, Comrade Arsentiev, eh?

Yes.

- That is... I lived in his house... - Sit, Sit. Sit... and play.

I lived in the house of Professor Sierpickiego, learned from his music.

Now we know...

But we are interested in Kotov's wife and daughter. Not his in-laws.

According to documents Kotov's wife and daughter died in another camp.

And it was true?

- Indeed, Comrade Stalin... - Quiet, quiet, Lavrenty, what have you!

That's it. And you play, play.

As far as we know... that's it. You had a personal relationship?

- Maybe... quite personal. - Yes, yes, yes.

That's understandable. That was good

...to know, and besides, it seems you made the arrest.

I remember?
