00:00:30Why do you always dress in black?
00:00:33I'm unhappy.
00:00:36Why?
00:00:45I don't understand.
00:00:53You are healthy.
00:00:56Your father, although not rich, is married.
00:01:01My life is much harder than yours.
00:01:05I earn 23 rubles a month,
00:01:09of which I still get a pension.
00:01:13But I don't have a pension.
00:01:16It's not about money.
00:01:19A poor man can also be happy.
00:01:23It's a theory.
00:01:26But in practice it looks like this.
00:01:29Me and my mother, two little sisters,
00:01:32a brother,
00:01:34and a pension of 23 rubles.
00:01:38But you have to drink and eat.
00:01:42You need tea and sugar.
00:01:44Oh, you don't need that.
00:01:53I love you.
00:01:56I miss you so much that I can't stay at home.
00:01:59I go back and forth six times a day.
00:02:03And from your side I meet only indifferents.
00:02:16I understand that.
00:02:19I have no means.
00:02:21I am burdened with a large family.
00:02:26What a pleasure it is to marry a man
00:02:29who has nothing to eat.
00:02:49It's stuffy.
00:02:56There will probably be a storm at night.
00:03:00And me, brother, in the village, not at all.
00:03:04Of course, I never get used to it here.
00:03:07Yesterday I went to bed at ten,
00:03:10and this morning I woke up at nine
00:03:13with a feeling as if I were in a dream.
00:03:16And after dinner I fell asleep again.
00:03:19And now I'm completely broken.
00:03:22It's a nightmare.
00:03:24Ladies and gentlemen,
00:03:26when it starts, you will be called.
00:03:29You can't leave now.
00:03:31Mario Ilicz,
00:03:33be so kind and ask your father
00:03:36to let go of the chain,
00:03:38because you, as a sister,
00:03:40have not been able to sleep all night.
00:03:43Let him talk to his father himself.
00:03:46Let's go.
00:03:48So let him call us and let it begin.
00:03:55We're going to take a bath, Konstanty Gabriłowicz.
00:03:59So there will be a storm all night again.
00:04:02I always left here with pleasure.
00:04:05But now I'm on retirement
00:04:08and I have nowhere to go.
00:04:12Whether you like it or not,
00:04:15you have to sit here.
00:04:17This is a theater.
00:04:19A curtain.
00:04:21And then an empty space.
00:04:24The view opens to the lake and the horizon.
00:04:27No decorations.
00:04:29The curtain is extended
00:04:31from half past ten
00:04:33when the moon rises.
00:04:35Great.
00:04:37Of course,
00:04:39if it's too late,
00:04:41the whole effect will be lost.
00:04:43She should be here by now.
00:04:45Her father and mother-in-law are watching her.
00:04:48It's hard to get her out of the house.
00:04:51It's my tragedy, brothers.
00:04:53I looked so young when I was drinking
00:04:56and I never liked women.
00:04:58Why is your sister not in a good mood?
00:05:01Why?
00:05:03She's bored.
00:05:05She's jealous.
00:05:08She's ahead of me,
00:05:10of the audience
00:05:12and of my art.
00:05:15Because she's not playing,
00:05:17but she's jealous.
00:05:19You think so?
00:05:21She's already angry
00:05:23that on this small stage
00:05:25she's going to be the lucky one,
00:05:27not her.
00:05:29My mother is a psychological curiosity.
00:05:31Undeniably smart, talented.
00:05:33She can cry over a book.
00:05:35But try to praise her presence,
00:05:37Eleonore Tusser.
00:05:39She's the only one to be praised.
00:05:42To write about her, to shout,
00:05:44to admire her extraordinary play.
00:05:46And besides, she's sensible,
00:05:48she's afraid of three candles,
00:05:50and she's a miser.
00:05:52She has 70,000 in the bank,
00:05:54and when she asks for a loan,
00:05:56she starts crying.
00:05:58You said your mother doesn't like your art.
00:06:00You're already angry.
00:06:02Your mother loves you.
00:06:04She loves me.
00:06:06She doesn't love me.
00:06:08She loves me.
00:06:10She doesn't love me.
00:06:12You see?
00:06:14My mother doesn't love me.
00:06:16She wants to live,
00:06:18to love,
00:06:20to wear bright blouses.
00:06:22And I'm 25,
00:06:24and I'm constantly reminding her
00:06:26that she's not in her first youth.
00:06:28When I'm not there,
00:06:30she's only 32,
00:06:32and she loves theatre.
00:06:34It seems to her
00:06:36that it serves humanity,
00:06:38sacred art.
00:06:40For me, contemporary theatre
00:06:42is routine and superstition.
00:06:44When the curtain rises,
00:06:46and in the evening light,
00:06:48in a room with three walls,
00:06:50these great talents,
00:06:52the priests of sacred art,
00:06:54show how people eat,
00:06:56drink, love,
00:06:58wear swimsuits.
00:07:00It's a tight, understandable,
00:07:02and useful science in the household.
00:07:04When in thousands of variants,
00:07:06they still give me the same thing.
00:07:08Then I run away.
00:07:10I run away like a mop
00:07:12in front of the Eiffel Tower.
00:07:14But you can't live without theatre.
00:07:16New forms are needed.
00:07:18New forms.
00:07:20And if there aren't any,
00:07:22it's better to have nothing.
00:07:24I love my mother.
00:07:26I love her very much.
00:07:28She's always fighting with that literary man.
00:07:30Her name is still in the papers.
00:07:32And it bothers me.
00:07:34Speaking of which,
00:07:36what kind of man is that literary man?
00:07:38Tell me, please.
00:07:40It's hard to tell.
00:07:42He's always silent.
00:07:44A man?
00:07:46Wise.
00:07:48Simple.
00:07:50You know, a bit melancholic.
00:07:52Very decent.
00:07:54He's still in his forties,
00:07:56but he's still a writer.
00:07:58How can I tell you?
00:08:00Adneto is not without talent.
00:08:02But I don't want to read
00:08:04about Tolstoy or Ozol from Trigorin.
00:08:06I like literary men.
00:08:08I used to want two things.
00:08:10To get married
00:08:12and become a literary man.
00:08:14But neither of them succeeded.
00:08:16Yes.
00:08:18It's nice to be a literary man.
00:08:20I'm not late.
00:08:22I'm not late.
00:08:24I'm not late.
00:08:26I was nervous all day.
00:08:28I was afraid that my father
00:08:30wouldn't let me go.
00:08:32But he just left.
00:08:34The sky is red.
00:08:36The moon is already in the east.
00:08:38And I was chasing my horse.
00:08:40I'm happy.
00:08:42But your eyes seem to be crying.
00:08:44It's not nice.
00:08:46I'll leave in half an hour.
00:08:48I have to hurry.
00:08:50Father doesn't know I'm here.
00:08:54I have to go.
00:08:56I have to call everyone.
00:08:58I'll go.
00:09:00I'll be right back.
00:09:06I've thought about it once.
00:09:08And a deputy prosecutor told me
00:09:10Mr. Excellency has a very strong voice.
00:09:12Then he thought about it.
00:09:14But it's unpleasant.
00:09:16Ha, ha, ha!
00:09:22Father and his wife
00:09:24don't let me go.
00:09:26They say it's a gypsy's nest.
00:09:28And it pulls me to the lake like a seagull.
00:09:32We're alone.
00:09:34It seems
00:09:36that someone...
00:09:42There's no one.
00:09:46There's no one.
00:10:16What kind of tree is it?
00:10:18A branch.
00:10:22And why is it
00:10:24so dark?
00:10:26Because in the evening
00:10:28all things get dark.
00:10:30Please don't leave so soon.
00:10:32I beg you.
00:10:34I have to.
00:10:36And if I follow you?
00:10:38I'll stand in the garden all night
00:10:40and look out the window at you.
00:10:42You can't.
00:10:44If Mr. Excellency notices you,
00:10:46you won't be waiting.
00:10:50I love you.
00:10:52People, you,
00:10:54eagles, parrots...
00:10:56I love you.
00:10:58You, geese, spiders...
00:11:00Who's there?
00:11:02Sea stars and you.
00:11:04Jakub!
00:11:06I can't look out the window.
00:11:08All my life,
00:11:10all my life,
00:11:12it's all gone.
00:11:14It's time.
00:11:16The moon is rising.
00:11:18Do you have a cigarette?
00:11:20Yes.
00:11:22When the red eyes show up,
00:11:24the smell of the cigarette must go away.
00:11:26Yes.
00:11:34Please come back
00:11:36and put on your shoes.
00:11:38You'll catch a cold.
00:11:40You're stubborn
00:11:42and you want to torture me.
00:11:44As a doctor,
00:11:46you know that cold air
00:11:48is bad for you,
00:11:50but you want to make me angry.
00:11:52Yesterday, you were sitting
00:11:54on the terrace all night.
00:11:58You were so absorbed
00:12:00in your conversation
00:12:02with Irina Nikolaevna
00:12:04that you didn't even notice the cold.
00:12:06It's gone.
00:12:08Do you like her?
00:12:10I'm 55 years old.
00:12:14You look great.
00:12:18You still like women.
00:12:20What do you mean?
00:12:24All of you are ready to fall
00:12:26in front of an actress.
00:12:28All of you.
00:12:30But if I fall in front of you,
00:12:32I'll be enraged.
00:12:34If an artist is liked
00:12:36and treated differently
00:12:38than a merchant,
00:12:40it's natural.
00:12:42It's a sign of idealism.
00:12:44Women have always loved you.
00:12:46They threw themselves at your neck.
00:12:48It was also a sign of idealism.
00:12:50They loved a great doctor.
00:12:5210 or 15 years ago,
00:12:54I was the only decent
00:12:56doctor in the whole province.
00:12:58I've always been a decent man.
00:13:08Someone's coming.
00:13:12In 1873,
00:13:14she played a wonderful actress
00:13:16at a fair in Poltava.
00:13:18She played wonderfully.
00:13:20Don't you want to know
00:13:22where she is now?
00:13:24I don't know.
00:13:26He's better than
00:13:28Sadowski.
00:13:30Where can he be now?
00:13:32You keep asking
00:13:34about mammoths.
00:13:36How can I know?
00:13:38Oh, Pashka,
00:13:40Czadin.
00:13:42There are no such people now.
00:13:44Your son, Irina Nikolaevna,
00:13:46used to have huge teeth.
00:13:48Now,
00:13:50only the trunk is left.
00:13:52There are not many outstanding talents now,
00:13:54but the standard of an average actor
00:13:56has risen significantly.
00:13:58I can't agree with you.
00:14:00Besides, it's a matter of taste.
00:14:10Everything's ready.
00:14:12Are you nervous?
00:14:14Yes, very much.
00:14:16Your mother
00:14:18isn't afraid of anything,
00:14:20but there's a trigger here.
00:14:24He's a famous writer.
00:14:28I'm afraid.
00:14:30I'm ashamed to play in front of him.
00:14:32Let her.
00:14:54Is he young?
00:14:56Yes.
00:14:58His stories
00:15:00are wonderful.
00:15:02I don't know.
00:15:04I haven't read them.
00:15:08When will you start, my dear?
00:15:14Pashka, we'll start in a moment.
00:15:16Oh, stop it!
00:15:18Hamlet!
00:15:20You turn my eyes
00:15:22and in my soul
00:15:24I see black spots
00:15:26that I can't wash off.
00:15:34To live like this,
00:15:36in a barlog of a casserole,
00:15:38to rot in the slums,
00:15:40to lick the rubbish.
00:15:44Ladies and gentlemen,
00:15:48I'm starting.
00:15:52We're starting.
00:15:56We're starting.
00:16:02Oh, you,
00:16:04three-week-old shadows
00:16:06that appear
00:16:08in the evening
00:16:10over this lake.
00:16:12Sleep us
00:16:14and let us dream
00:16:16what will be in 200,000 years.
00:16:18In 200,000 years
00:16:20what will be in 200,000 years.
00:16:22So let him tell us.
00:16:24So let it be.
00:16:26We're sleeping.
00:16:28We're starting.
00:16:34People,
00:16:36lions,
00:16:38eagles,
00:16:40cockerels,
00:16:42rogues, deers,
00:16:44geese, spiders,
00:16:46sea stars that live in the water
00:16:48and those
00:16:50that couldn't be seen with the naked eye.
00:16:52All life,
00:16:54all life,
00:16:56ran through its tragic circle.
00:17:00It's gone.
00:17:04For thousands of years
00:17:08the earth has not carried
00:17:10a single living being.
00:17:14And this moon
00:17:16does not light its lantern today.
00:17:20It's cold.
00:17:22It's cold.
00:17:24It's cold.
00:17:26It's empty.
00:17:28It's empty.
00:17:30It's empty.
00:17:32It's empty.
00:17:34It's terrible.
00:17:38It's terrible.
00:17:40It's terrible.
00:17:42It's terrible.
00:17:44The soul of the universe
00:17:46is me.
00:17:50I have the soul
00:17:52of Alexander the Great,
00:17:54of Caesar,
00:17:56of Napoleon
00:17:58and of the most hateful of all the spies.
00:18:00In me
00:18:02the consciousness of people
00:18:04has merged with the instinct of animals.
00:18:06I remember everything,
00:18:08everything,
00:18:10everything,
00:18:12and I experience every life
00:18:14over and over again.
00:18:16Is it something decadent?
00:18:18Mother.
00:18:28I am
00:18:32lonely
00:18:36like a prison
00:18:38thrown into an empty,
00:18:40deep well.
00:18:42I don't know
00:18:44where I am
00:18:46and what is waiting for me.
00:18:52All that is hidden
00:18:54from me
00:18:56is that in a cruel fight
00:18:58with the primordial
00:19:00material force
00:19:02of Satan
00:19:04I am the one
00:19:06who is the one
00:19:08who is me.
00:19:10And then
00:19:12there will be
00:19:14a kingdom of universal freedom.
00:19:16But this will happen
00:19:18only when
00:19:20after a long, long
00:19:22line of millennia
00:19:24the moon and Sirius
00:19:26and the earth
00:19:28will turn to dust.
00:19:30And until then
00:19:32there will be a threat,
00:19:34a threat,
00:19:36a threat.
00:19:42Should it be so?
00:19:44Yes.
00:19:46My powerful opponent,
00:19:48Satan.
00:19:50You took off your hat.
00:19:52I can see his terrible
00:19:54red eyes.
00:19:56Enough, enough.
00:19:58Curtain.
00:20:00The exhibition is over. Curtain.
00:20:02Enough.
00:20:04I didn't take into account
00:20:06that only a few can write
00:20:08and act on stage.
00:20:10I was a monopoly.
00:20:12What's going on with him?
00:20:14Irene, my dear,
00:20:16you can't treat a young,
00:20:18ambitious man like that.
00:20:20And what did I tell him?
00:20:22You offended him.
00:20:24He himself said it was a joke,
00:20:26so I treated his work
00:20:28as a joke.
00:20:30So he set up this show
00:20:32and made a fool of himself
00:20:34not for a joke, but for a demonstration.
00:20:36He wanted to teach us
00:20:38how to write and what to play.
00:20:40He wanted to please you.
00:20:42Yes.
00:20:44However, he didn't choose
00:20:46any ordinary art,
00:20:48but forced us to listen
00:20:50to these decadent whims.
00:20:52For a joke, I'm ready to listen
00:20:54to whims, but these are
00:20:56everyone's whims.
00:20:58Everyone writes as he wants
00:21:00and as he can.
00:21:02Let him write as he wants
00:21:04and as he can,
00:21:06but leave me alone.
00:21:10And you know,
00:21:12to describe me in art
00:21:14and not show me on stage
00:21:16how I live,
00:21:18you'll have to teach someone like me.
00:21:20It's hard.
00:21:22It's hard to live.
00:21:24It's a lovely evening today.
00:21:28Can you hear it?
00:21:32They're singing.
00:21:36How beautiful.
00:21:40It's on that bank.
00:21:46It's on that bank.
00:21:50It's on that bank.
00:21:52Let him sit down.
00:22:00Ten or fifteen years ago,
00:22:02here on this lake,
00:22:04music and singing
00:22:06could be heard almost every night.
00:22:08I remember.
00:22:10Laugh,
00:22:12fight,
00:22:14shooting,
00:22:16and constant romance.
00:22:18Romance.
00:22:22Jean Premier
00:22:24and the godfather of all
00:22:26these six courtyards was then
00:22:28I present to you
00:22:30Dr. Eugeniusz Sergiejewicz.
00:22:36And now he's in prison,
00:22:38but then
00:22:40he couldn't be stopped.
00:22:44Yes.
00:22:48He's starting to annoy me.
00:22:50Why did I offend
00:22:52my poor son?
00:22:54Kostia!
00:22:58Son!
00:23:00Kostia!
00:23:02I'll go look for him.
00:23:04Please, darling.
00:23:12Good evening.
00:23:14Bravo!
00:23:16Bravo!
00:23:18It's amazing.
00:23:20With such a beautiful voice
00:23:22you shouldn't be sitting in the village.
00:23:24It's a sin.
00:23:26You have talent.
00:23:28You should go on stage.
00:23:30Do you hear me?
00:23:32It's my dream,
00:23:34but I'm sure
00:23:36it will never come true.
00:23:38Who knows?
00:23:40Let me introduce to you
00:23:42Boris Alexeyevich Trigorin.
00:23:46I'm so happy.
00:23:48I always read you.
00:23:52Don't be shy.
00:23:54It's great.
00:23:56But the soul is full of simplicity.
00:23:58You see, you're already embarrassed.
00:24:04It's a strange play, isn't it?
00:24:06I didn't understand anything.
00:24:08Nevertheless,
00:24:10I watched with pleasure.
00:24:12You played so sincerely.
00:24:14And the decoration is beautiful.
00:24:18There must be a fish in the lake.
00:24:20Yes.
00:24:22I like catching fish.
00:24:26In my opinion,
00:24:28for those who have experienced
00:24:30creative delight,
00:24:32there is no other delight.
00:24:34I remember
00:24:36how once in the Moscow Opera
00:24:38a great Silva took a low C.
00:24:40And then, out of anger,
00:24:42there was a bass
00:24:44from our synagogue choir.
00:24:46And suddenly,
00:24:48imagine that we are
00:24:50our boundless pride,
00:24:52we hear from the gallery
00:24:54bravo, bravo, Silva
00:24:56an octave lower.
00:24:58Bravo, Silva!
00:25:00The audience is stunned.
00:25:02A moment of silence.
00:25:14It's time for me.
00:25:16Goodbye.
00:25:18Where to?
00:25:20Why so early?
00:25:22We won't let you go.
00:25:24My father is waiting for me.
00:25:26Well, it's a pity to part.
00:25:28If only you knew
00:25:30how hard it is for me to leave.
00:25:32Maybe someone would take you away,
00:25:34my darling?
00:25:36Oh, no.
00:25:38Please stay.
00:25:40I can't.
00:25:42Stay for an hour at least.
00:25:44I can't.
00:25:46Basically,
00:25:48an unhappy girl.
00:25:50Yes.
00:25:52And her daddy
00:25:54is not a dog.
00:25:56I have to give her justice.
00:26:04Ladies and gentlemen,
00:26:06let's go.
00:26:08Let's go, it's getting late.
00:26:10My legs hurt.
00:26:12Your legs are like made of wood,
00:26:14they barely move.
00:26:16You old man.
00:26:26I heard the dog is barking.
00:26:30Ilya Afanasyevich,
00:26:32be so kind
00:26:34and let the dog out of the chain.
00:26:36It will bark all night long.
00:26:38I can't, Piotr Nikolayevich.
00:26:40I can't.
00:26:42I'm afraid the thieves
00:26:44won't get into my bedroom.
00:26:46They will ask for it.
00:26:48Yes, an octave lower.
00:26:50And he was not a singer,
00:26:52but an ordinary singer,
00:26:54a synodal chorus singer.
00:26:56And what pension
00:26:58does a synodal chorus singer get?
00:27:14Madame.
00:27:24Madame.
00:27:30There's no one here.
00:27:32I'm here.
00:27:36Your play, Konstanty Gawryłowicz,
00:27:38I really liked it.
00:27:42It's a bit strange.
00:27:44I didn't hear the end,
00:27:46but it still makes a great impression.
00:27:48You have talent.
00:27:50You should keep working.
00:27:54Oh, how nervous.
00:27:56I'm about to cry.
00:27:58What did I want to say?
00:28:00So you're saying
00:28:02that I should keep working.
00:28:04Yes, but please
00:28:06only present the important
00:28:08and eternal things.
00:28:10You know, I had a varied life,
00:28:12tasteless, I can't complain,
00:28:14but if I could experience
00:28:16such impulses as
00:28:18the artist's participation
00:28:20in the moment of creation,
00:28:22I think I would go
00:28:24as high as possible
00:28:26from the ground.
00:28:28Excuse me, where is the eternal?
00:28:32And one more thing.
00:28:34The play should contain a clear thought.
00:28:36You should know what you're writing for,
00:28:38because otherwise,
00:28:40if you choose this picturesque
00:28:42path without a definite goal,
00:28:44you'll get lost.
00:28:46You'll lose your own talent.
00:28:48Where is the eternal?
00:28:50She went home.
00:28:52I have to see her.
00:28:54Let her calm down, my friend.
00:28:56But I'll go.
00:28:58I have to go.
00:29:00Go home, Konstanty Gawriłowicz.
00:29:02Your mother is waiting for you.
00:29:04She's worried.
00:29:06Tell her
00:29:08that I've left
00:29:10and please leave me alone.
00:29:12Don't follow me.
00:29:14My dear, you can't do that.
00:29:16Thank you, doctor.
00:29:18Goodbye.
00:29:24I think they're playing at home.
00:29:26I have to go.
00:29:28Please wait.
00:29:30For what?
00:29:38Please help me.
00:29:42Please help me,
00:29:44because I'll do something stupid.
00:29:46I'll ruin my life.
00:29:48I'll break it.
00:29:52I can't go on like this.
00:29:54What should I do?
00:29:56I'm suffering.
00:29:58Nobody knows
00:30:00my suffering.
00:30:12I love Konstanty.
00:30:16What can I do?
00:30:18My child.
00:30:20What?
00:30:22What?
00:30:46What?
00:30:56Let's compare.
00:30:58Stand next to each other.
00:31:04You're 22, right?
00:31:08And I'm
00:31:10almost twice as old.
00:31:12Eugeniusz,
00:31:14which one of us looks younger?
00:31:16You, of course.
00:31:18That's it.
00:31:20Why?
00:31:22Because I work,
00:31:24I live by my feelings,
00:31:26I'm always busy.
00:31:28And you?
00:31:30You're still in one place.
00:31:32You're not alive.
00:31:34I have a rule.
00:31:36I don't think about the future.
00:31:38I don't think about old age or death.
00:31:42What's meant to be doesn't pass.
00:31:44I feel like
00:31:46I was born a long time ago.
00:31:48I'm dragging my life
00:31:50behind me like an endless train.
00:31:54And I don't want to live for a moment.
00:32:02What's more,
00:32:04I'm as correct as an Englishman.
00:32:06I stick to my way
00:32:08as they say in Rysy.
00:32:10I'm well-dressed
00:32:12and combed.
00:32:14I've preserved myself
00:32:16so well because
00:32:18I've never been a flirt.
00:32:20I didn't give up,
00:32:22like some people.
00:32:26See?
00:32:28Like an old lady.
00:32:30I can still play the role
00:32:32of a 15-year-old girl.
00:32:34We've become
00:32:36a grain buyer
00:32:38and a rat.
00:32:40And a rat.
00:32:44That's it.
00:32:46And a rat.
00:32:48Keep reading.
00:32:50By the way,
00:32:52you can go.
00:32:54I'll read now.
00:33:00And a rat.
00:33:02Yes.
00:33:04It should be understood
00:33:06that spreading the story
00:33:08of a writer
00:33:10and attracting them
00:33:12is equally dangerous
00:33:14for worldly people
00:33:16as it is for a grain buyer
00:33:18to raise rats in a cage.
00:33:20Meanwhile,
00:33:22worldly people fall for writers.
00:33:24So when a woman chooses
00:33:26a writer she wants to seduce,
00:33:30she attacks him
00:33:32with compliments,
00:33:34kindness and flattery.
00:33:38Maybe that's what happens
00:33:40with the French,
00:33:42but not with us.
00:33:44Before a woman
00:33:46falls in love with a writer,
00:33:48she's already in love with him.
00:33:56Here you are.
00:34:02Thank you.
00:34:06We're happy, aren't we?
00:34:10We're happy!
00:34:12We're happy!
00:34:14My father and Macok went to Tver
00:34:16and now we're free
00:34:18for three days.
00:34:20Now I belong to you.
00:34:22She's so pretty today.
00:34:24You have to praise her
00:34:26so that she doesn't die.
00:34:32Where's Trigorin?
00:34:36He's fishing by the bathhouse.
00:34:52What are you reading?
00:34:54Mopassant, darling.
00:35:02Mopassant, darling.
00:35:18I'm worried.
00:35:20Tell me what's going on
00:35:22with my son.
00:35:26Please,
00:35:28tell us
00:35:30Why are you so curious?
00:35:32When he declaims something,
00:35:34his eyes burn
00:35:36and his face turns pale.
00:35:38He has a beautiful, sad voice
00:35:40and he has a face like a poet.
00:35:46Good night.
00:35:48What?
00:35:50You're asleep.
00:35:52How come?
00:35:54You don't get well,
00:35:56and that's bad, brother.
00:35:58I don't get well,
00:36:00but what can you do
00:36:02when a doctor doesn't want to?
00:36:04You get well when you're 60.
00:36:06Even when you're 60
00:36:08you want to live.
00:36:10Take a drop of Valerian.
00:36:12I think
00:36:14it would be good
00:36:16if I didn't go to Vutka.
00:36:18Well, you can go.
00:36:20You can also not go.
00:36:22And be wise.
00:36:24You don't have to be wise.
00:36:26You don't have to be wise.
00:36:44Piotr Mikołajewicz should stop smoking.
00:36:48Nonsense.
00:36:50It's not nonsense at all.
00:36:52Wine and tobacco
00:36:54give you individuality.
00:36:56You're right.
00:36:58You've lived your life.
00:37:00And what have I done?
00:37:02I've served 28 years in the judiciary,
00:37:04but I haven't lived yet.
00:37:06I haven't experienced anything.
00:37:10And it's obvious
00:37:12that I want to live very much.
00:37:14You're honest
00:37:16and indifferent.
00:37:18That's why you're inclined to torture.
00:37:20I want to live very much
00:37:22and that's why
00:37:24I drink at lunch.
00:37:26Cheese, smoke, cigars and vodka.
00:37:28That's all.
00:37:30Life should be treated seriously.
00:37:32And to cure yourself
00:37:34when you're 60
00:37:36and you regret
00:37:38that you didn't use it enough in your youth
00:37:40is, I'm sorry,
00:37:42a bit of thoughtlessness.
00:37:48Apparently, it's time for breakfast.
00:37:52I'm hungry.
00:37:56My leg is trembling.
00:37:58Go and drink two glasses
00:38:00before breakfast.
00:38:02Poor man's lack of happiness
00:38:04is nonsense.
00:38:06You speak like a full man.
00:38:10Can there be anything
00:38:12more boring
00:38:14than this nice village boredom?
00:38:16Hot, quiet,
00:38:18no one does anything,
00:38:20no one cares.
00:38:24It's good with you, my friends.
00:38:26It's nice to listen to you.
00:38:28But to sit in your hotel room
00:38:30and learn the roles
00:38:32is much more pleasant.
00:38:36I understand, madam.
00:38:38Of course.
00:38:40In a hotel
00:38:42it's wonderful.
00:38:44A man sits in a hotel room.
00:38:46He doesn't let anyone in
00:38:48without a report.
00:38:50A telephone.
00:38:52A window to the bar.
00:39:00Good morning.
00:39:04I'm very glad
00:39:06to see you in good health.
00:39:08My wife says
00:39:10that you're going to the city
00:39:12with her.
00:39:14Is it true?
00:39:16Yes, we're going.
00:39:18Great.
00:39:20But today
00:39:22a Jew will come from Łódź.
00:39:24What kind of horses
00:39:26will you let me ask?
00:39:28What? How can I know?
00:39:30Well,
00:39:32we have horses.
00:39:34Horses.
00:39:36Where will I get a horse?
00:39:38I can't hear that.
00:39:40I'm full of respect
00:39:42for your talent.
00:39:44I'm ready to devote
00:39:46ten years of my life to you,
00:39:48but I can't give you a horse.
00:39:50What if I have to go?
00:39:52Madam, you don't know
00:39:54what a farm is.
00:39:56Let me hire a horse
00:39:58for me in the village,
00:40:00because if not,
00:40:02I'll go on foot to the station.
00:40:04Then I resign
00:40:06from my position.
00:40:08Find yourself
00:40:10an administrator.
00:40:14The same story every summer.
00:40:16My leg
00:40:18won't stand here any longer.
00:40:22And this insolence.
00:40:24And this
00:40:26filthiness.
00:40:28I've had enough of this.
00:40:30Please, take my position.
00:40:32Please, bring all the horses here.
00:40:34Please, take my position.
00:40:36Please, take my position.
00:40:38Ladies and gentlemen,
00:40:40let's go.
00:40:42We'll beg my sister
00:40:44not to leave.
00:40:46He's a despot,
00:40:48but I'll talk to him.
00:40:50He won't leave.
00:41:06I love you.
00:41:24People are boring.
00:41:28You should have
00:41:30turned your husband upside down.
00:41:32It will all end
00:41:34when this old woman
00:41:36apologizes to him.
00:41:38You'll see.
00:41:40He sent the horse
00:41:42to the field, too.
00:41:44He makes me
00:41:46so angry every day.
00:41:50If you only knew
00:41:52how angry I am.
00:41:54I'm sick of it.
00:41:56I can't stand
00:41:58his filthiness.
00:42:00You'll see
00:42:02how angry I am.
00:42:04You'll see.
00:42:08Eugeniusz.
00:42:14My beloved.
00:42:20Our last years are passing.
00:42:24We're not young anymore.
00:42:28Although at the end of life
00:42:30it's better
00:42:32not to hide
00:42:34and not to lie.
00:42:36I'm 55 years too late
00:42:38to change my life.
00:42:42Do you refuse me?
00:42:46I understand.
00:42:50I'm sorry I offended you.
00:42:52That's not the point.
00:42:56I'm dying, Eugeniusz.
00:43:00I'm jealous.
00:43:06I know
00:43:08as a doctor
00:43:10you can't avoid women.
00:43:12I know it.
00:43:14I understand.
00:43:16Someone's coming.
00:43:18My beloved.
00:43:20Someone's coming.
00:43:22My beloved.
00:43:30What's going on there?
00:43:34Irina Nikołajewna is crying.
00:43:36And Piotr Nikołajewicz
00:43:38has asthma attack.
00:43:44It's so strange
00:43:46to see a great artist
00:43:48crying.
00:43:50And it's so stupid.
00:43:54And a great writer,
00:43:56a favorite of the audience,
00:43:58all the newspapers write about him,
00:44:00he's translated into foreign languages.
00:44:02Meanwhile, he
00:44:04is fishing all day
00:44:06and he's happy
00:44:08that he caught two fish.
00:44:10Then we should go
00:44:12and give them
00:44:14both
00:44:16valerian drops.
00:44:20I thought that
00:44:22famous people are proud,
00:44:24unapproachable,
00:44:26but they're laughing,
00:44:28crying.
00:44:40What's that?
00:44:56I was so mean
00:44:58that I killed
00:45:00that seagull.
00:45:02I'll lay her
00:45:04at your feet.
00:45:06What are you doing?
00:45:08Soon
00:45:10I'll kill
00:45:12myself as well.
00:45:18I don't know you.
00:45:20What?
00:45:22I don't know you.
00:45:24I don't know you.
00:45:26Yes.
00:45:28I haven't known you for a while.
00:45:32You've become
00:45:34sensitive.
00:45:36You still express yourself
00:45:38incomprehensibly
00:45:40with the help
00:45:42of some symbols.
00:45:46This seagull is a symbol,
00:45:48but
00:45:50please
00:45:54I understand you.
00:45:56I'm too simple to understand you.
00:45:58What's there to understand?
00:46:00You didn't like the play.
00:46:02You despise my inspiration.
00:46:04You think I'm selfish,
00:46:06an average person, like many others.
00:46:08I understand it.
00:46:10I understand it well.
00:46:12Here's a real talent.
00:46:14He walks with a book in his hand like Hamlet.
00:46:16He has a talent.
00:46:18Words, words.
00:46:20I won't disturb you.
00:46:22I won't disturb you.
00:46:32Good morning.
00:46:36Good morning.
00:46:42We're probably leaving today.
00:46:46We don't know if we'll see each other again.
00:46:48No.
00:46:50It's a pity.
00:46:54I rarely meet young girls.
00:46:58Young and interesting.
00:47:18I'd like to spend at least one day
00:47:20in your skin
00:47:24to find out what you think
00:47:26and what kind of bird you are.
00:47:30And I'd like to
00:47:32find myself in your place.
00:47:34What for?
00:47:38To find out
00:47:42how I feel
00:47:44a famous, talented writer.
00:47:48How do you feel
00:47:50a famous, talented writer?
00:47:52How?
00:47:54Presumably nothing.
00:47:56I've never thought about it.
00:47:58One of two things.
00:48:00Either you overestimate my fame
00:48:02or I don't feel it at all.
00:48:04What if they write about you
00:48:06in the newspapers?
00:48:10It's nice when they praise me
00:48:12and when they praise me
00:48:14I'm not in a good mood for two days.
00:48:16I envy you so much.
00:48:20You have your boring, grey life.
00:48:22You have your boring, grey life.
00:48:24Everyone is similar to each other.
00:48:26Everyone is unhappy.
00:48:28Unlike you, for example.
00:48:32You are one in a million.
00:48:36Your life is interesting
00:48:38Your life is interesting
00:48:40full of meaning.
00:48:42full of meaning.
00:48:44You are happy.
00:48:48Me?
00:48:54You're talking about fame
00:48:56about happiness
00:48:58about some bright, interesting life.
00:49:00But for me
00:49:02all these beautiful words
00:49:04are like a marmalade
00:49:06that I never take to my mouth.
00:49:08You are very young and very kind.
00:49:10Your life is wonderful.
00:49:14What's so wonderful about it?
00:49:18I have to go and write.
00:49:20I have to go and write.
00:49:22I'm sorry, I don't have time.
00:49:34As they say, you've hit my weak spot.
00:49:36As they say, you've hit my weak spot.
00:49:38I'm getting nervous and angry.
00:49:40Anyway,
00:49:42let's talk.
00:49:44We'll talk about my bright, interesting life.
00:49:46We'll talk about my bright, interesting life.
00:49:48Where to start?
00:49:52Day and night,
00:49:54I'm tormented by one thought.
00:49:56I have to write.
00:49:58I have to write.
00:50:00I have to...
00:50:02I've barely finished one story
00:50:04and I don't know why I have to write the next one.
00:50:06Then the third, then the fourth.
00:50:08What's so bright and beautiful about it?
00:50:10What's so bright and beautiful about it?
00:50:16What a crazy life.
00:50:18What a crazy life.
00:50:20I'm with you now.
00:50:22I'm getting nervous
00:50:24and at the same time I remember
00:50:26that an unfinished story is waiting for me.
00:50:28I see a cloud similar to a piano.
00:50:30I think I have to mention
00:50:32that a cloud similar to a piano has passed.
00:50:34Heliotropes smell.
00:50:36I'm cooking a flower for the widow.
00:50:38I have to mention it in the summer evening's description.
00:50:40I catch myself and you
00:50:42in every sentence, in every word.
00:50:44I'm in a hurry
00:50:46to close all these sentences and words
00:50:48in my literary book.
00:50:50You'll be useful.
00:50:58When I finish my work,
00:51:00I run to the theatre or to the fish market.
00:51:02Here I should rest,
00:51:04forget about myself.
00:51:06But where is it?
00:51:08In my head I already have a heavy,
00:51:10iron ball, a new topic.
00:51:12It pulls me to the desk.
00:51:14I have to sit down again, to write.
00:51:16And I keep writing.
00:51:20I don't have a moment of peace
00:51:22from myself.
00:51:24I feel I'm devouring my own life.
00:51:26Still the same.
00:51:28Still the same.
00:51:30And it seems to me
00:51:32that my friends praise me,
00:51:34that I'm a cheat,
00:51:36that they cheat me like a madman.
00:51:38And sometimes I'm afraid
00:51:40that they'll steal me from behind
00:51:42and take me to the madhouse.
00:51:46And...
00:51:50in those years,
00:51:52in the best years of my youth,
00:51:54when I made my debut,
00:51:56writing was a constant torture for me.
00:51:58A torture.
00:52:00A full-fledged writer,
00:52:02especially when he's not good at writing,
00:52:04seems to himself insufferable.
00:52:06Incompetent.
00:52:08Excessive.
00:52:10He wanders around people
00:52:12associated with literature and art,
00:52:14unrecognized, neglected.
00:52:16Afraid to look
00:52:18boldly and straight in the eye
00:52:20like a drug addict,
00:52:22a player
00:52:24who has no money.
00:52:26How exhausting it was.
00:52:32I'm sorry,
00:52:34but does the inspiration
00:52:36and the very process
00:52:38of creating
00:52:40not give you
00:52:42joyful, happy moments?
00:52:46Yes.
00:52:48And when I write, it's pleasant.
00:52:50It's pleasant to read corrections,
00:52:52but it's barely printed.
00:52:54I can't stand it.
00:52:56I can see it's not it.
00:52:58It's a mistake.
00:53:00I shouldn't have written it at all.
00:53:02I'm sorry.
00:53:04My soul has no taste.
00:53:06And the audience reads.
00:53:08Yes, it's nice.
00:53:10With talent.
00:53:12Nice.
00:53:14But it's far from it.
00:53:16And it will be like that
00:53:18until the grave.
00:53:20Everything will be nice, with talent.
00:53:22My friends from my group
00:53:24will say
00:53:26that Trigorin
00:53:28was a good writer,
00:53:30but it's not what
00:53:32Turgenev...
00:53:36You are overworked.
00:53:40You don't have
00:53:42time or will
00:53:44to realize your own value.
00:53:48Although you
00:53:50are unhappy with yourself,
00:53:52for others
00:53:56you are someone great
00:53:58and wonderful.
00:54:02If I were
00:54:04a writer
00:54:06like you,
00:54:10I would give all my life
00:54:12to the audience, but I would realize
00:54:14that their happiness
00:54:16is only to
00:54:18see me crying.
00:54:22Crying?
00:54:28Crying?
00:54:30And what am I?
00:54:32Agamemnon or what?
00:54:40In exchange for happiness
00:54:42I will become an actress
00:54:44or a writer.
00:54:46I would agree
00:54:48to hate my loved ones,
00:54:50to grudge,
00:54:52to competition.
00:54:54I would live in the attic.
00:54:56I would feed myself
00:54:58only with bread.
00:55:00I would be tormented
00:55:02by the awareness of my own imperfection,
00:55:04but
00:55:06for that
00:55:08I would demand
00:55:10fame.
00:55:12Real, loud fame.
00:55:14I don't know.
00:55:16It's spinning in my head.
00:55:18Are you in pain, Aleksijewicz?
00:55:26They are calling me.
00:55:28I have to pack.
00:55:32I don't want to leave.
00:55:38It's good here.
00:55:44What's this?
00:55:46A seagull.
00:55:48Konstanty Gabriłowicz shot it.
00:55:54A beautiful bird.
00:56:00I really don't want to leave.
00:56:04Oh, let Irina Nikolaevna
00:56:06tell us
00:56:08what happened.
00:56:10Oh, let Irina Nikolaevna
00:56:12tell us
00:56:14to stay.
00:56:16Boris, where are you?
00:56:18Coming.
00:56:30What are you writing?
00:56:32Nothing.
00:56:34I'm just writing.
00:56:36I missed the subject.
00:56:38It's a short story.
00:56:40A young girl
00:56:42lives on the shore of a lake.
00:56:44She's just like you.
00:56:46She's happy
00:56:48like a seagull.
00:56:50She's free, she loves the lake like a seagull.
00:56:52But
00:56:54a man came by,
00:56:56looked at her
00:56:58and shot her.
00:57:00Like a seagull.
00:57:02Boris.
00:57:08So?
00:57:10Let's stay.
00:57:38I'm telling you
00:57:40all this as a writer.
00:57:44You can use it.
00:57:48I'm telling you from the bottom of my heart.
00:57:50If I got seriously hurt,
00:57:52I wouldn't live a moment longer.
00:57:56But
00:57:58I'm brave.
00:58:02And now
00:58:04I've made a decision.
00:58:08I'll tear this love from my heart.
00:58:10I'll tear it with my roots.
00:58:14How?
00:58:18I'm getting married.
00:58:20To a bear.
00:58:24To this teacher?
00:58:26Yes.
00:58:30I don't understand why.
00:58:32To love hopelessly
00:58:34and to wait for something for years?
00:58:38When I'll get married,
00:58:40love will be in my head.
00:58:42New worries
00:58:44will drown everything.
00:58:50But
00:58:52you know
00:58:54it's always a change.
00:59:04Not too much?
00:59:06Do you like it?
00:59:10Don't look at me like that.
00:59:12Women drink more often
00:59:14than you think.
00:59:16I drink less,
00:59:18not like me.
00:59:20Most of the time.
00:59:22Right?
00:59:26Always cognac
00:59:28or vodka.
00:59:30I wish you
00:59:32all the best.
00:59:50It's a pity
00:59:52to part with you.
00:59:54I don't want to leave.
00:59:56Why?
00:59:58Ask her to stay.
01:00:02Her son is very impolite.
01:00:04He shoots himself
01:00:06and now they say
01:00:08he wants to challenge me.
01:00:10Why?
01:00:16Jealousy.
01:00:22It's none of my business.
01:00:26Go.
01:00:40My teacher
01:00:42is not very wise
01:00:48but he's a good man
01:00:52and poor
01:00:56and...
01:01:00I feel sorry for him.
01:01:04I feel sorry for his mother.
01:01:12I wish you
01:01:14all the best.
01:01:22Please don't remind me.
01:01:26And...
01:01:28please send me
01:01:30your books
01:01:32but
01:01:34with an autograph.
01:01:38And please don't write
01:01:40Dear
01:01:44but...
01:01:46just like that.
01:01:48Mary
01:01:50the nameless
01:01:52and...
01:01:56I don't know why
01:01:58living in this world...
01:02:14Goodbye.
01:02:16Goodbye.
01:02:22A couple or not a couple?
01:02:24A couple.
01:02:26No!
01:02:28I have only one pea in my hand.
01:02:30I wanted to see
01:02:32if I should go on stage
01:02:34or not.
01:02:36We're breaking up
01:02:38and probably
01:02:40we won't see each other again.
01:02:42Please
01:02:44accept this
01:02:46medallion from me.
01:02:48I told you
01:02:50about your initials
01:02:52and on the other side
01:02:54the title of your book
01:02:56Days and Nights.
01:02:58It's a wonderful gift.
01:03:00Please remember me from time to time.
01:03:02I will.
01:03:04I will remember you
01:03:06as you were that sunny day.
01:03:08Do you remember?
01:03:10You were wearing such a bright dress.
01:03:12We were talking on the bench.
01:03:14A white teapot was lying nearby.
01:03:16Yes, a teapot.
01:03:18I have to talk to her.
01:03:20Someone is coming.
01:03:22Please give me two minutes
01:03:24before I leave.
01:03:30You shouldn't be here
01:03:32with your rheumatism.
01:03:34Who was that?
01:03:36Nina?
01:03:38Yes.
01:03:40Sorry.
01:03:42We disturbed you.
01:03:44I think I packed everything.
01:03:46Yes, I did.
01:03:48I have to go.
01:04:00Days and Nights.
01:04:02Page 121,
01:04:04verses 11 and 12.
01:04:06Do you want me
01:04:08to pack the oars, too?
01:04:10Yes.
01:04:12They will come in handy.
01:04:14Thank you.
01:04:20Are my books
01:04:22in this house?
01:04:24Yes.
01:04:26In the corner cabinet
01:04:28in your brother's office.
01:04:38You'd better
01:04:40stay at home.
01:04:44If you leave,
01:04:46I'll be sad without you.
01:04:48What's in the city?
01:04:50Nothing special.
01:04:52I feel like
01:04:54shaking
01:04:56for an hour
01:04:58or two
01:05:00because I'm as rusty
01:05:02as an old iron.
01:05:04I told them to start at one o'clock.
01:05:06We'll leave at the same time.
01:05:08Well...
01:05:12Live here.
01:05:16Don't get bored.
01:05:18Don't catch a cold.
01:05:20Take care of my son.
01:05:22Take care of him.
01:05:30Page
01:05:32121
01:05:34verses
01:05:3611 and 12.
01:06:04If you ever
01:06:06need my life,
01:06:08come and take it.
