0:00:04 > 0:00:09This film contains some scenes of a sexual nature.

0:01:11 > 0:01:13Darling?

0:01:48 > 0:01:50Oh, darling.

0:02:15 > 0:02:17But sex.

0:02:17 > 0:02:19You are 23.

0:02:19 > 0:02:22Not an easy age for abstinence, is it?

0:02:22 > 0:02:25Tolstoy does not approve of sexual relations. I know this.

0:02:25 > 0:02:27He despises them, in fact.

0:02:28 > 0:02:31Well, I don't mean to belabour the point, but...

0:02:31 > 0:02:37last summer I arranged for a manservant who proceeded to ruin two housemaids, just like that.

0:02:37 > 0:02:41- He was very upset.- This would not be a problem with me. I'm a vegetarian.

0:02:41 > 0:02:44I am celibate. I'm also a vegetarian.

0:02:44 > 0:02:49My dear boy, if you were to become Tolstoy's private secretary, you would be given a great gift.

0:02:49 > 0:02:55Vladimir Grigorevich, please know that I understand what a privilege this position presents.

0:02:55 > 0:03:00But since becoming a Tolstoyan, I have become so eager to learn...

0:03:00 > 0:03:04To discuss ideas, to perfect my very soul.

0:03:04 > 0:03:10Well, we have a lot to do if we are to get his work to the people.

0:03:10 > 0:03:11- We?- Yes, we.

0:03:13 > 0:03:19If we can encourage the spread of passive resistance - just think of it, Valentin.

0:03:19 > 0:03:22Thousands of ordinary Russians

0:03:22 > 0:03:26casting off centuries of political and spiritual oppression.

0:03:26 > 0:03:28- In the name of truth and freedom. - Truth and freedom.

0:03:28 > 0:03:33Yes, yes. But, still, there are many, many enemies.

0:03:33 > 0:03:36- Enemies?- Come.

0:03:36 > 0:03:38The Tsar's police.

0:03:38 > 0:03:40You will be followed when you leave here,

0:03:40 > 0:03:43and the Church will stop at nothing to bring him back into the fold.

0:03:43 > 0:03:47And then, of course, there is the Countess.

0:03:47 > 0:03:53Her dogged attachment to private property, her public criticism of our movement.

0:03:54 > 0:03:59But the point is... He needs a man of your intellectual gifts around him.

0:03:59 > 0:04:03Someone who understands his goals. And they still won't let me see him.

0:04:03 > 0:04:05They keep me under house arrest.

0:04:07 > 0:04:11I have another task for you, my dear.

0:04:11 > 0:04:14I want you to keep a diary for me.

0:04:16 > 0:04:20I need to know what goes on at Yasnaya Polyana.

0:04:20 > 0:04:23You let me know who visits the house, any talk of the copyright

0:04:23 > 0:04:28to his work, any contact with the Church - anything the countess says.

0:04:28 > 0:04:31- Anything?- She's very, very dangerous.

0:04:34 > 0:04:35Hup!

0:04:38 > 0:04:39Godspeed, my boy.

0:04:39 > 0:04:42- And remember what I said.- Mmmhmm.

0:04:42 > 0:04:43Write everything down.

0:04:46 > 0:04:48- Drive on!- Walk on.

0:05:12 > 0:05:16- Good morning, Countess. - Are you rolling?- I am.- Countess?

0:05:16 > 0:05:18Countess?

0:05:23 > 0:05:27It doesn't matter. If my heart stopped beating, I'd still go riding today.

0:05:27 > 0:05:30- Your pulse is my responsibility. - No. It's mine.- Fine.

0:05:30 > 0:05:34If you must ride, I insist you wear a coat. Even the sun is cold today.

0:05:34 > 0:05:36Oh, this! This is impossible!

0:05:36 > 0:05:38These people are parasites!

0:05:38 > 0:05:44"The Countess Tolstoy is estranged from her husband. They barely speak."

0:05:44 > 0:05:46And they gossip about us in Paris.

0:05:46 > 0:05:50- "They do not share a similar view of religion or politics." - You think that's inaccurate?

0:05:50 > 0:05:53I think it's none of the world's bloody business. What are you doing?

0:05:53 > 0:05:56Why do you write down everything we say? Don't do that.

0:05:56 > 0:05:59Dushan Petrovich, you are scribbling again.

0:06:01 > 0:06:04Oh, Leovochka, why do you insist on dressing like that?

0:06:04 > 0:06:08- What do you mean, like what? - Like the man who looks after sheep. - It wasn't meant to offend you.

0:06:08 > 0:06:11You're a count, for God's sake.

0:06:11 > 0:06:13Darling, where are you going?

0:06:13 > 0:06:16Riding with Sasha. Don't expect us for lunch.

0:06:16 > 0:06:19- Lev Nikolayevich, you've forgotten your coat.- Dushan, are you fretting?

0:06:19 > 0:06:22Yes, because you refuse to look after yourself.

0:06:45 > 0:06:47That was the end of us...

0:07:05 > 0:07:08Telyatinki was created by Vladimir Grigorevich

0:07:08 > 0:07:12as a centre for the movement. We're all equals here, you know.

0:07:12 > 0:07:15As Tolstoy teaches us.

0:07:15 > 0:07:17This is a place of freedom.

0:07:22 > 0:07:23It's a beautiful day.

0:07:23 > 0:07:26Yes, but we'll pay for it.

0:07:27 > 0:07:31Tool shed is there. That's the meeting room, and this is the dormitory.

0:07:31 > 0:07:33I found it!

0:07:33 > 0:07:36- Afternoon.- Yes, hello.

0:07:36 > 0:07:39You are expected at Yasnaya Polyana in the morning - first thing.

0:07:39 > 0:07:43- First thing?- You'll need to be on the road early. It's two hours away.

0:07:43 > 0:07:45- I look forward to it.- Yes.

0:07:45 > 0:07:48You're lucky. We're all envious.

0:07:54 > 0:07:55DOOR CREAKS

0:07:55 > 0:07:58I'll see you in the morning.

0:07:58 > 0:08:00If we are spared.

0:08:07 > 0:08:09Right.

0:08:09 > 0:08:10And out.

0:08:13 > 0:08:14In.

0:08:17 > 0:08:20Emma, can you come? We need you in the house.

0:08:20 > 0:08:22KNOCK ON DOOR

0:08:24 > 0:08:26COCKEREL CROWS

0:08:26 > 0:08:27Come in.

0:08:32 > 0:08:34Brought you a glass of tea.

0:08:34 > 0:08:35That's very kind of you.

0:08:39 > 0:08:41It's your first day.

0:08:41 > 0:08:43Enjoy it.

0:08:48 > 0:08:51You met Sergeyenko?

0:08:51 > 0:08:52Last night, yes.

0:08:54 > 0:08:56What do you think?

0:08:56 > 0:08:58I thought he seemed very sincere.

0:08:58 > 0:08:59Thank you.

0:08:59 > 0:09:00SHE SCOFFS

0:09:00 > 0:09:02What?

0:09:02 > 0:09:05- Is that what you think? - I think that...

0:09:06 > 0:09:09I think I've just arrived.

0:09:09 > 0:09:12- What was your name?- Masha. But you should still say what you think.

0:09:12 > 0:09:15I mean, not just about him.

0:09:15 > 0:09:19- Like we all should.- Yes.

0:09:25 > 0:09:26Excuse me.

0:09:29 > 0:09:32Thank you for the tea.

0:09:37 > 0:09:43He's a sorry, old, tight-arsed stick-in-the-mud but, yes, he's sincere.

0:10:29 > 0:10:30Hello?

0:10:38 > 0:10:39Hello?

0:10:40 > 0:10:42Ah, excuse me.

0:10:43 > 0:10:44You.

0:10:44 > 0:10:46You're the new secretary?

0:10:46 > 0:10:48Yes. Valentin Fedorovich Bulgakov.

0:10:48 > 0:10:50Papa is out.

0:10:50 > 0:10:52You can wait upstairs in the library.

0:11:28 > 0:11:29DOOR OPENS

0:11:30 > 0:11:33I am so glad you're here!

0:11:37 > 0:11:39I'm so glad.

0:11:40 > 0:11:42HE SNEEZES

0:11:42 > 0:11:44- God bless you. - Pardon me. I'm mortified.

0:11:44 > 0:11:47I sneeze sometimes when I get nervous.

0:11:51 > 0:11:55- Yes.- Now, Vladimir Grigorevich has already written about you at lengths.

0:11:55 > 0:11:59I don't need that. What I do need is your help.

0:11:59 > 0:12:02My manifesto against the government is hard work.

0:12:02 > 0:12:06They commit their idiotic abuses faster than I can catalogue them.

0:12:06 > 0:12:10And then there's the new book, the compendium.

0:12:10 > 0:12:12Vladimir Grigorevich told me all about it.

0:12:12 > 0:12:16He says that you say that all the world's religions share common truths. It's very exciting.

0:12:16 > 0:12:20No, one truth. One single organizing principle.

0:12:20 > 0:12:22- And can you guess what that is?- Um...

0:12:24 > 0:12:27Love. Love. Simple.

0:12:27 > 0:12:30Yeah, but I want to talk about you.

0:12:30 > 0:12:32How are you?

0:12:32 > 0:12:34And how was your journey? Come, sit down.

0:12:34 > 0:12:37I was born on that sofa.

0:12:37 > 0:12:39No, no, sit, sit.

0:12:39 > 0:12:42Myself, my brother, my children -

0:12:42 > 0:12:44five or six of them, at least.

0:12:44 > 0:12:46- Right here.- Congratulations.

0:12:48 > 0:12:51Well, I've read your essays.

0:12:52 > 0:12:54How's the work progressing?

0:13:01 > 0:13:03My boy, what is it?

0:13:03 > 0:13:07Oh, I've upset you in some way.

0:13:07 > 0:13:09- No.- Was it the sofa? I mean, it's only a sofa.

0:13:09 > 0:13:11The sofa's wonderful.

0:13:12 > 0:13:16I, I'm very happy.

0:13:16 > 0:13:18You're very kind to me.

0:13:20 > 0:13:25You see, I am no-one, and you are Lev Tolstoy.

0:13:25 > 0:13:28And you ask me about my work!

0:13:30 > 0:13:32I'll fetch you a glass of tea.

0:13:32 > 0:13:33- Yes.- You rest.

0:13:35 > 0:13:38Because there's work for both of us to do, together!

0:13:38 > 0:13:40Yes.

0:13:43 > 0:13:45God.

0:13:47 > 0:13:49This machine, it really is the most extraordinary thing.

0:13:49 > 0:13:51Mama, these people have nothing.

0:13:51 > 0:13:54No, it's not for lack of land that the muzhiks live in poverty,

0:13:54 > 0:13:57it's because they have no willpower and they drink too much.

0:13:57 > 0:14:00I am not suggesting they be given land.

0:14:00 > 0:14:02Private property is the root of the problem.

0:14:02 > 0:14:04We should be giving ours away.

0:14:04 > 0:14:07- God. Giving it to whom?- Yes, exactly. I mean, this is ridiculous.

0:14:07 > 0:14:10You think because the peasants are poor, they're morally superior?

0:14:10 > 0:14:14I believe that wealth corrupts us all. Yes, I do.

0:14:14 > 0:14:16It's a keystone of the movement.

0:14:16 > 0:14:19Oh, God, I know all about the movement.

0:14:19 > 0:14:21If the peasants had money, they wouldn't

0:14:21 > 0:14:25surround themselves, as we do, with footmen costing 10 roubles a month.

0:14:25 > 0:14:28No, they'd spend it on drink and whores.

0:14:29 > 0:14:33- Valentin Fedorovich. What do you think?- Tea.

0:14:33 > 0:14:35You think that 50 years from now, people will eat

0:14:35 > 0:14:39while grown men walk around waiting on them hand and foot?

0:14:39 > 0:14:42- I think...- That's good. Bless you.

0:14:42 > 0:14:47Stop scribbling. I mean, you all think he's Christ, don't you?

0:14:47 > 0:14:49He thinks he's Christ.

0:14:49 > 0:14:51I'm not...

0:14:51 > 0:14:54I don't believe Lev Nikolayevich is Christ.

0:14:54 > 0:14:56- Christ is Christ, but...- But what?

0:14:56 > 0:15:00I do believe he's one of the prophets. God speaks through him.

0:15:00 > 0:15:02I recognise the cadence in his voice.

0:15:02 > 0:15:04Oh, God, this is unbearable.

0:15:04 > 0:15:07No wonder I feel lonely. I'm surrounded by morons.

0:15:07 > 0:15:09Ma, you're being ridiculous.

0:15:09 > 0:15:14Oh, am I? I have to sit here and listen to this talk of love and God and equality,

0:15:14 > 0:15:20knowing all the time, full well, that Count Generosity here is about to give away everything we own.

0:15:20 > 0:15:22Now, why do you keep going on about this?

0:15:22 > 0:15:26Why do you think that we should profit from the work I'm doing now,

0:15:26 > 0:15:29which is only meant for the sake of the people?

0:15:29 > 0:15:31Stop writing!

0:15:31 > 0:15:35Stop writing now!

0:15:47 > 0:15:50In defence of my gift, please let me demonstrate.

0:15:50 > 0:15:53It's quite remarkable, really.

0:15:58 > 0:16:04'In the same way now, a society of hunger, full of segregation...'

0:16:08 > 0:16:11It's... It's your voice.

0:16:11 > 0:16:14'But with my soul, that the existence...'

0:16:14 > 0:16:15It's your voice!

0:16:15 > 0:16:17It's wonderful, it's wonderful!

0:16:17 > 0:16:20It's tiresome.

0:16:20 > 0:16:24Another remarkable invention will supersede it. Please excuse me.

0:16:26 > 0:16:29'No matter what all the learned men in the world say...'

0:16:29 > 0:16:32Lev Nikolayevich is something of a Luddite, I fear.

0:16:32 > 0:16:38'It is a crime. And one committed not once, but constantly.

0:16:38 > 0:16:41'I knew that I, with my luxury, shall...'

0:16:41 > 0:16:42NEEDLE SQUEAKS

0:16:49 > 0:16:51MUSIC PLAYS

0:17:05 > 0:17:07That's better.

0:17:10 > 0:17:12That's nice.

0:17:21 > 0:17:23That's very nice indeed.

0:17:56 > 0:17:59Do your parents often speak to each other so bluntly?

0:17:59 > 0:18:02Mama doesn't understand my father's goals.

0:18:02 > 0:18:05Not since his work as a novelist became secondary.

0:18:05 > 0:18:09His commitment to the spiritual life offends her.

0:18:09 > 0:18:12They've fought about it for years.

0:18:12 > 0:18:14Well, I'm sure she means well by it.

0:18:18 > 0:18:22I see a fine young man before me. Clear eyes, nice features,

0:18:22 > 0:18:25rather handsome in a peculiar sort of a way.

0:18:25 > 0:18:26Thank you, Countess.

0:18:26 > 0:18:28Oh, please, call me Sofya Andreyevna.

0:18:28 > 0:18:32We don't stand on formality here, as you may have noticed.

0:18:32 > 0:18:38No, no. So many young men nowadays spoil their good looks with loose living, but you,

0:18:38 > 0:18:42oh, you're a real Tolstoyan, I can tell that.

0:18:42 > 0:18:46Well, thank you. I have to say, I admire your husband immensely.

0:18:46 > 0:18:50Oh, very good. Excellent. He likes that.

0:18:50 > 0:18:52Well, his ideas are beautiful.

0:18:52 > 0:18:54Social justice, the very concept...

0:18:54 > 0:18:57Yes, he's very grateful for the help you've been giving him. He told me that himself.

0:18:57 > 0:19:01I think he's rather surprised that a young man like you can be quite so diligent.

0:19:01 > 0:19:04When he was your age, he was whoring in the Caucasus.

0:19:04 > 0:19:06Couldn't get enough of it.

0:19:06 > 0:19:08Yes, he wrote all about it.

0:19:08 > 0:19:13He even gave me a copy, so I could read all the details.

0:19:13 > 0:19:16- Would you like some more jam? - Yes, thank you.

0:19:16 > 0:19:19- Have you read War And Peace? - Yes, many times.- Mmm.

0:19:21 > 0:19:22Twice.

0:19:22 > 0:19:25You know, when Lev was writing it...

0:19:25 > 0:19:29Oh, this was ages ago, long before Chertkov created that monstrosity

0:19:29 > 0:19:34at Telyatinki over all that fake religion and revolutionary nonsense.

0:19:34 > 0:19:38- What do you think of Chertkov, by the way?- Well, I think that he's...

0:19:41 > 0:19:43I think he's given me a wonderful opportunity.

0:19:43 > 0:19:45Yes, but you can see what a pompous fool he is,

0:19:45 > 0:19:48what a self-serving puritanical idiot?

0:19:48 > 0:19:52- It's been very pleasant since he's been locked away in his house. - Right.

0:19:54 > 0:20:00So, anyway, when he was writing it, in the mid-60s, he used to bring me pages to copy every day,

0:20:00 > 0:20:03cos I was the only one who could understand his handwriting or his notes.

0:20:03 > 0:20:06Do you know, I copied out War And Peace six times?

0:20:06 > 0:20:08Six times?

0:20:08 > 0:20:11I could understand his intentions, too.

0:20:11 > 0:20:15So every afternoon, we'd have tea and we'd discuss changes.

0:20:15 > 0:20:19And I'd say to him, "Natasha wouldn't speak to Prince Andrei like that. No woman would."

0:20:19 > 0:20:21Or, "Pierre's too simple here.

0:20:21 > 0:20:24"He's not an idiot." You know, things like that.

0:20:28 > 0:20:30But I don't count any more.

0:20:33 > 0:20:35DOOR CREAKS

0:20:40 > 0:20:42DOOR CLOSES

0:20:51 > 0:20:53You must help me, Vladimir Fedorovich.

0:20:53 > 0:20:56- Val...- Oh, Valentin Fedorovich.

0:20:56 > 0:20:58I only want what's best for my husband and my family.

0:20:58 > 0:21:01If it was for me alone, I could tolerate the situation,

0:21:01 > 0:21:04but I cannot stand by while they steal my children's inheritance.

0:21:04 > 0:21:08Well, I don't believe anybody wants to do that.

0:21:08 > 0:21:09I don't.

0:21:09 > 0:21:13- Theft goes against the very principles of Tolstoy thought. - I have a little gift for you.

0:21:19 > 0:21:24It's a diary. You know, everyone should always keep a diary.

0:21:25 > 0:21:29- Yes, it's a very popular activity around here.- You're teasing us.

0:21:29 > 0:21:32But I trust you'll write the truth.

0:21:32 > 0:21:35Well, that may not be so easy.

0:21:35 > 0:21:39Nonsense. You've been listening to your friends at Telyatinki.

0:21:39 > 0:21:42No, no, just write what you see around you.

0:21:42 > 0:21:45What you see.

0:21:46 > 0:21:47HE SNEEZES

0:22:02 > 0:22:05You're finished for the day?

0:22:05 > 0:22:07Yes, he didn't need me this afternoon.

0:22:07 > 0:22:12I thought I'd come back here and lend a hand.

0:22:16 > 0:22:19You know, Lev Nikolayevich considers himself a liberal,

0:22:19 > 0:22:22but he doesn't approve of women doing physical labour.

0:22:24 > 0:22:26Don't you find that reactionary?

0:22:26 > 0:22:28No. I find it sweet.

0:22:28 > 0:22:31I find you reactionary.

0:22:36 > 0:22:38What do you talk about when you're with him?

0:22:39 > 0:22:41We...

0:22:43 > 0:22:45- Why are you blushing?- I'm not.

0:22:48 > 0:22:50We talk about me.

0:22:50 > 0:22:55- Really?- Yes. He wants to know about my family, my upbringing.

0:22:55 > 0:22:59My connection to God and my relations with women.

0:22:59 > 0:23:02Ooh, what relations are these?

0:23:16 > 0:23:17All right, it's all right.

0:23:36 > 0:23:38Well done.

0:23:45 > 0:23:48I had a lover before I came here.

0:23:48 > 0:23:52He was headmaster of the school where I taught.

0:23:52 > 0:23:54He was married.

0:23:54 > 0:23:56He was happily married.

0:23:56 > 0:24:00It was difficult. We could make love only at school.

0:24:00 > 0:24:03- At school?- In the gymnasium,

0:24:03 > 0:24:05after the girls had gone.

0:24:05 > 0:24:07I see. I see.

0:24:10 > 0:24:12Oh, there you are.

0:24:12 > 0:24:15- Have I upset you?- No.

0:24:16 > 0:24:20No, I find you... I-I appreciate your frankness.

0:24:20 > 0:24:22- But you disapprove of me?- No!

0:24:22 > 0:24:24- I see it in your eyes.- Not at all.

0:24:24 > 0:24:29No. I think sexual behaviour and...

0:24:29 > 0:24:33intercourse, how two men, or two women,

0:24:33 > 0:24:35or men and women, animals,

0:24:35 > 0:24:39combine their physical parts, I find it completely neutral.

0:24:41 > 0:24:43Listen to you.

0:24:43 > 0:24:45You're a prig.

0:24:45 > 0:24:49You're just like Sergeyenko. I mean, why else would they have hired you?

0:24:49 > 0:24:53- That's not fair. - I don't care if it's fair. It's true.

0:24:53 > 0:24:56That's it.

0:24:56 > 0:24:58- I'm going.- Do as you like.

0:25:02 > 0:25:05- Valentin Fedorovich?- Yes?

0:25:07 > 0:25:09You forgot your horse.

0:25:11 > 0:25:12Yes.

0:25:42 > 0:25:43Where's Papa?

0:25:46 > 0:25:50I had a dream last night about a Tartar girl I knew in the war.

0:25:50 > 0:25:52A girl who died?

0:25:52 > 0:25:56No, no, no. Just a girl I had sexual intercourse with.

0:25:56 > 0:25:58Sometimes, we did it twice a day.

0:25:59 > 0:26:00VALENTIN SNEEZES

0:26:00 > 0:26:04God bless you. I've never forgotten our time together.

0:26:04 > 0:26:08The positions of our bodies, and the taste of her.

0:26:08 > 0:26:10It was a long time ago.

0:26:10 > 0:26:12- Really, you mustn't torture yourself.- Torture?

0:26:12 > 0:26:14You are a virgin, aren't you?!

0:26:14 > 0:26:16Well, I try to be...

0:26:16 > 0:26:18To what, to be a good Tolstoyan?

0:26:18 > 0:26:22Let me assure you that I'm not a very good Tolstoyan myself.

0:26:22 > 0:26:25You should think twice before asking my advice, on anything!

0:26:27 > 0:26:28Torture?!

0:26:28 > 0:26:30HE LAUGHS

0:26:40 > 0:26:42Kalya was her name.

0:26:43 > 0:26:46She's an old woman now.

0:26:46 > 0:26:49White hair, old body, like me.

0:26:49 > 0:26:52Hardly remember my name, I suspect.

0:26:52 > 0:26:53She may even be dead.

0:26:55 > 0:26:58Do you think all that meant something?

0:26:58 > 0:27:02- What do you mean? - Well, I mean, that little romance -

0:27:02 > 0:27:04was there some meaning to it?

0:27:04 > 0:27:08Well, I think you would say... I mean, I think I've read where you say that

0:27:08 > 0:27:12the physical body is not real. That it's all an illusion.

0:27:12 > 0:27:16I say a lot of things. But what do you say?

0:27:16 > 0:27:17What do you think?

0:27:19 > 0:27:21I don't know.

0:27:23 > 0:27:24I don't know either.

0:27:28 > 0:27:30Oh, smell that.

0:27:30 > 0:27:31- Lilac.- Precisely.

0:27:31 > 0:27:33Lilac.

0:27:33 > 0:27:37- Scent gets stronger when the sun goes down.- Does it?

0:27:37 > 0:27:39Papa!

0:27:43 > 0:27:45He's free! He's free!

0:27:48 > 0:27:49He's coming back!

0:28:05 > 0:28:07My friend.

0:28:07 > 0:28:11- SOFYA:- He has come to try again to persuade your father

0:28:11 > 0:28:15to change the will, to give the copyright as a gift to humanity. The reptile.

0:28:15 > 0:28:19Papa's not in his right mind. He can't defend himself against these thieves.

0:28:19 > 0:28:22You're a fine son, my darling.

0:28:22 > 0:28:24None of this fake chastity or made-up religion.

0:28:24 > 0:28:27I wish all my children had turned out like you.

0:28:30 > 0:28:33Vladimir Grigorevich, what a surprise!

0:28:33 > 0:28:35Sofya Andreyevna.

0:28:35 > 0:28:37I'm happy to see you.

0:28:37 > 0:28:39And I'm happy to make you happy.

0:28:41 > 0:28:43Come, come, my friend.

0:28:43 > 0:28:46Now, we have a great deal to talk about.

0:28:51 > 0:28:55I'm happy to have a moment alone with you. There seems to be some confusion.

0:28:55 > 0:28:59- What do you mean?- Well, you send me never-ending commentary on Tolstoy's

0:28:59 > 0:29:03writing, and that's all very interesting, but not very useful.

0:29:03 > 0:29:06See, I need to know what goes on with Sofya Andreyevna.

0:29:06 > 0:29:11You must see by now how committed she is to undermining her husband's best intentions?

0:29:11 > 0:29:13It's not quite so obvious to me.

0:29:13 > 0:29:17The woman understands nothing of what we're doing.

0:29:17 > 0:29:22We simply want to distribute Tolstoy's writing to the widest audience possible.

0:29:24 > 0:29:28I can only be of limited use to the master if I don't know what's going on.

0:29:28 > 0:29:31The survival of our movement depends upon it.

0:29:33 > 0:29:35- You value our work?- I do.

0:29:35 > 0:29:37The ideals we share?

0:29:37 > 0:29:39It's why I'm here.

0:29:39 > 0:29:41Very good.

0:30:04 > 0:30:07- Good morning, darling.- Good morning.

0:30:07 > 0:30:09Do you mind if I join you?

0:30:09 > 0:30:11No, of course, of course, my dear.

0:30:32 > 0:30:34You know, it's...

0:30:34 > 0:30:40- It's quite insane, my darling, how people are making fun of you. - What are you talking about?

0:30:40 > 0:30:44Even the muzhiks. I heard them laughing about it in the horse barn.

0:30:44 > 0:30:45About what?

0:30:45 > 0:30:48Laughing about what?

0:30:49 > 0:30:55About the fact that you've developed a senile crush on a fat, middle-aged flatterer.

0:30:55 > 0:30:58Your passion for Chertkov has become a standing joke.

0:30:58 > 0:31:01I have a great affection for Vladimir Grigorevich.

0:31:01 > 0:31:05- Let them laugh if they find it so amusing.- It's not amusing, darling.

0:31:05 > 0:31:06It's sick. It's not normal.

0:31:06 > 0:31:08I mean, you hang on his every word.

0:31:08 > 0:31:10We have a great deal in common.

0:31:10 > 0:31:12You have nothing in common!

0:31:12 > 0:31:16You are a genius, and he is a sycophant and a pervert.

0:31:16 > 0:31:18Because he understands what I'm trying to do?

0:31:18 > 0:31:22- Because he tries to help me accomplish it?- He's just using you.

0:31:22 > 0:31:24You just can't seem to see it.

0:31:24 > 0:31:26This is absolute nonsense.

0:31:26 > 0:31:29- That bald, obese, man... - It is impossible for you not to distract me!

0:31:29 > 0:31:31Now, leave me alone, for God's sake.

0:31:31 > 0:31:33You're like a spoiled child.

0:31:36 > 0:31:37Do you love me, Leovochka?

0:31:37 > 0:31:39Of course I do.

0:31:39 > 0:31:41Then why do you betray me like this?

0:31:41 > 0:31:43Why do you say that?

0:31:43 > 0:31:45Because of the will.

0:31:45 > 0:31:47The new will.

0:31:49 > 0:31:51There's no new will.

0:31:51 > 0:31:56- Does Chertkov have it? - There is no new will. - That's why he's here, isn't it?

0:31:56 > 0:32:01You talk about it, you and your boyfriend. You have no heart for the people who really love you.

0:32:01 > 0:32:06You'd rather be seduced by charlatans and deluded by flatterers, all in the name of love.

0:32:06 > 0:32:10You can't even love your own children. You can't even love me.

0:32:10 > 0:32:15- Where is it?- There is no new will! - Then promise me there never will be.

0:32:19 > 0:32:22I have told you the truth.

0:32:24 > 0:32:27Now let me work.

0:32:27 > 0:32:29Will you?

0:32:33 > 0:32:37I'll go to the station and I'll throw myself under a train.

0:32:37 > 0:32:38Madam Tolstoy becomes Anna Karenina.

0:32:38 > 0:32:40See how the press will like that.

0:32:40 > 0:32:45This is unbearable. You don't need a husband, you need a Greek chorus!

0:33:04 > 0:33:06Masha?

0:33:35 > 0:33:37- Masha.- Ssh.

0:34:01 > 0:34:03Move your book.

0:34:03 > 0:34:05- What?- Your book.

0:34:06 > 0:34:08I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

0:34:29 > 0:34:32- Is it OK?- Mmm-hmm.

0:34:32 > 0:34:34Yeah?

0:34:45 > 0:34:48What?

0:34:48 > 0:34:50What is it?

0:34:50 > 0:34:51What is it?

0:34:51 > 0:34:54You really are a virgin?

0:34:54 > 0:34:59Oh, no, no, no. I'm teasing, I'm teasing!

0:34:59 > 0:35:01- It was wonderful. - I could do it again.

0:35:01 > 0:35:03- Let me try again.- It was wonderful.

0:35:03 > 0:35:07- Really?- Yes. Hold me.

0:35:15 > 0:35:18And up.

0:35:18 > 0:35:22- That's good. Pull it, your side. - There.- Keep it tight.

0:35:22 > 0:35:26That's it, stretch it so we can read it.

0:35:35 > 0:35:37COCK CROWS

0:35:42 > 0:35:43I'm sorry.

0:36:02 > 0:36:04Why did you come here, Masha?

0:36:06 > 0:36:09What do you mean? What do you mean?

0:36:09 > 0:36:11You don't follow any of the rules here.

0:36:12 > 0:36:16Because it's not about rules.

0:36:17 > 0:36:21- Not for Tolstoy, anyway. - Valentin Fedorovich.

0:36:21 > 0:36:24- What is it?- Open the door.

0:36:24 > 0:36:26I'm...currently indisposed.

0:36:26 > 0:36:30Yes, well, Lev Nikolayevich is downstairs. He wants to see you.

0:36:30 > 0:36:33Tell Lev Nikolayevich I'll...

0:36:33 > 0:36:35- ..be down in a moment.- Yes.

0:36:35 > 0:36:38And tell Maria Filipovna we could use another hand in the kitchen.

0:36:38 > 0:36:40If I see her, I will.

0:36:40 > 0:36:42If you see her, yes.

0:36:42 > 0:36:47If you're going to behave like rabbits, you should go live in the woods.

0:36:48 > 0:36:50Ssh!

0:36:52 > 0:36:53I'll go first.

0:36:53 > 0:36:56Give me five minutes, yes?

0:36:59 > 0:37:02Come on. That's a boy!

0:37:04 > 0:37:05That's my boy.

0:37:05 > 0:37:07You too, come on.

0:37:07 > 0:37:09You're wonderful, you're just wonderful, wonderful.

0:37:09 > 0:37:12And you!

0:37:16 > 0:37:18And you too, you too.

0:37:21 > 0:37:23Look at the love in him.

0:37:23 > 0:37:24It's like...

0:37:26 > 0:37:29..Jesus, suffering the children.

0:37:29 > 0:37:32- All that.- I know, an old man's a very ugly thing!

0:37:32 > 0:37:35Hey, my boy!

0:37:35 > 0:37:37Hey! Come and kiss me!

0:37:40 > 0:37:44And who's this? Maria Filipovna!

0:37:44 > 0:37:47Oh, you're both looking so well.

0:37:47 > 0:37:50- Life here obviously agrees with you. - VALENTIN SNEEZES

0:37:50 > 0:37:54God bless you, boy. What are you nervous about now?

0:37:54 > 0:37:57Sit down. Sit down.

0:37:57 > 0:37:59Oh, Masha, my dear.

0:38:02 > 0:38:07Valentin tells me that you are the great treasure of Telyatinki.

0:38:07 > 0:38:09He claims you're a very gifted teacher!

0:38:11 > 0:38:13We're happy to have you with us.

0:38:18 > 0:38:20- What are you doing?- What do you mean?

0:38:20 > 0:38:22You just killed a living thing.

0:38:22 > 0:38:26- Oh!- Do you have something to say?

0:38:27 > 0:38:30- It's absurd, that's all. - What are you saying?

0:38:30 > 0:38:32I'm sorry, but it's a mosquito.

0:38:32 > 0:38:37Forgive him. He can't help it. He's a much better Tolstoyan than I am.

0:38:37 > 0:38:40That's not the message we want to send.

0:38:41 > 0:38:43Please, have your seat.

0:38:46 > 0:38:48Very well.

0:38:50 > 0:38:56Papa - from Mother, "Nerves dreadful, stop. Insomnia, stop.

0:38:56 > 0:39:00"Pulse 100, stop. Please come home."

0:39:10 > 0:39:11So...

0:39:11 > 0:39:13..are you ill?

0:39:13 > 0:39:15Or what is it?

0:39:15 > 0:39:19Oh, I'm much better, now you're here.

0:39:20 > 0:39:22It's no good, you know, all this.

0:39:22 > 0:39:24You frightened everyone.

0:39:24 > 0:39:26Really? No, I don't believe you.

0:39:26 > 0:39:28Not you.

0:39:29 > 0:39:32I'm your little bird. You know the sounds I make.

0:39:32 > 0:39:35Then that was some sort of love call, I suppose?

0:39:35 > 0:39:37Brought you back to me.

0:39:39 > 0:39:41Why?

0:39:41 > 0:39:43Why, why, why do you do it?!

0:39:43 > 0:39:47We live in the country, you insist on making it an opera house -

0:39:47 > 0:39:50- What's wrong with a little peace now and then?- Look at me!

0:39:50 > 0:39:52This is who I am.

0:39:52 > 0:39:55This is what you married.

0:39:55 > 0:39:58We may be older, maybe we're old,

0:39:58 > 0:40:02but I'm still your little chicken.

0:40:02 > 0:40:08- And you're still my big cock. - Oh, for pity's sake!

0:40:08 > 0:40:09Let me make you crow!

0:40:11 > 0:40:14Cock-a-doodle-doo!

0:40:14 > 0:40:16Cock-a-doodle-doo!

0:40:16 > 0:40:19Oh, come on, let me make you sing.

0:40:19 > 0:40:20No!

0:40:20 > 0:40:23No! No, no, no!

0:40:25 > 0:40:27Cock-a-doodle-doo!

0:40:27 > 0:40:29THEY LAUGH

0:40:30 > 0:40:32Cock-a-doodle-doo!

0:40:38 > 0:40:40Cock-a-doodle-doo!

0:40:46 > 0:40:49Let me make you sing!

0:40:49 > 0:40:51Boc-boc-boc-boc!

0:40:59 > 0:41:02- Do you love me?- I do, I do, I do.

0:41:02 > 0:41:05I want you to love me.

0:41:08 > 0:41:09I do.

0:41:13 > 0:41:16Cock-a-doodle-doo!

0:41:46 > 0:41:48Masha.

0:41:49 > 0:41:51You wouldn't look at me.

0:41:53 > 0:41:55It was difficult, in front of the others...

0:41:55 > 0:42:00It wasn't difficult in your bed. When it was just you and me in front of God.

0:42:00 > 0:42:04- I wasn't aware of God. - I made you forget God?- No. Never.

0:42:04 > 0:42:06Yes. Only for a moment.

0:42:06 > 0:42:08You forgot your rules and you remembered love.

0:42:08 > 0:42:10You make it sound very simple.

0:42:10 > 0:42:15It is simple. I mean, what we did is what men and women do.

0:42:15 > 0:42:18It's what they have done, it's what they'll continue doing.

0:42:18 > 0:42:21We touched each other.

0:42:21 > 0:42:26When we stayed close together, something passed between us.

0:42:26 > 0:42:28Something real.

0:42:28 > 0:42:31And that's a betrayal of what?

0:42:31 > 0:42:36Nothing. But you're afraid.

0:42:36 > 0:42:37All your ideas.

0:42:59 > 0:43:01She wants to question you about the new will.

0:43:01 > 0:43:05But how does she even know it exists?

0:43:05 > 0:43:08Well, she claims that Lev Nikolayevich said she could look at the draft.

0:43:08 > 0:43:13Well, he is obviously not thinking clearly.

0:43:13 > 0:43:16Now we have to contend with her petty grasping.

0:43:16 > 0:43:19- It doesn't seem that petty to me. - I beg your pardon?

0:43:19 > 0:43:21Uh...

0:43:23 > 0:43:27He's her entire life. The work, in her mind, is theirs, together.

0:43:27 > 0:43:32And you're her advocate? You have been taken in by her celebrity. I was worried about this.

0:43:32 > 0:43:36I'm simply talking about their history.

0:43:36 > 0:43:38- Nothing more.- We have to see her.

0:43:38 > 0:43:40Act as if nothing has happened.

0:43:40 > 0:43:42Nothing has happened.

0:43:43 > 0:43:45Sofya Andreyevna.

0:43:45 > 0:43:48At last, you honour us with a visit.

0:43:48 > 0:43:52Well, I'm curious to see how things are progressing here at Telyatinki.

0:43:52 > 0:43:53Well...

0:43:54 > 0:43:58- What is it?- Your moustache is...

0:43:58 > 0:44:01No, it's just a problem with the wax.

0:44:01 > 0:44:04Vladimir Grigorevich, let me come straight to the point.

0:44:04 > 0:44:06I don't wish to be your enemy.

0:44:06 > 0:44:13On the contrary, I am delighted that my husband has found a friend who understands and shares his ideals.

0:44:13 > 0:44:17I just want what's reasonable.

0:44:17 > 0:44:21I want an opportunity to evaluate the new will.

0:44:21 > 0:44:24If you agree, then I'm sure we can be friends.

0:44:24 > 0:44:27You are very kind, Sofya Andreyevna,

0:44:27 > 0:44:29but I can't help you.

0:44:29 > 0:44:32Not without specific instructions from your husband.

0:44:35 > 0:44:37Oh, he has agreed. Hasn't he, Valentin?

0:44:37 > 0:44:42No witness you produce can change my position, I'm afraid.

0:44:42 > 0:44:47But I will, of course, speak to Lev Nikolayevich at the first opportunity.

0:44:49 > 0:44:51Very well.

0:44:51 > 0:44:54I want us to be friends too, Sofya.

0:44:54 > 0:44:58Lev Nikolayevich is the most valuable thing in the world, to both of us.

0:44:58 > 0:45:02We should endeavour to set things right between us. Give him peace.

0:45:02 > 0:45:04Let him work.

0:45:04 > 0:45:06Yes.

0:45:13 > 0:45:16Valentin Fedorovich, would you accompany me to the house, please?

0:45:20 > 0:45:25I'll accompany the countess back to the house and be back in time for supper.

0:45:27 > 0:45:28Masha will be overjoyed.

0:45:38 > 0:45:41Valentin Fedorovich, you've been keeping something from me.

0:45:41 > 0:45:43Have I?

0:45:43 > 0:45:45You can tell me anything, Valentin.

0:45:47 > 0:45:48I love a romance.

0:45:51 > 0:45:55- It's nothing. Really, it's nothing. - A young woman in your life is nothing?

0:45:55 > 0:45:58- Masha is a friend.- A lover?

0:45:58 > 0:46:01A very... A very good friend.

0:46:01 > 0:46:08See, you forget that I'm an experienced reader, so I can read your face, every letter.

0:46:08 > 0:46:10It's beautifully clear.

0:46:10 > 0:46:12Really?

0:46:12 > 0:46:14Do you love her?

0:46:16 > 0:46:18- I think perhaps I do.- Yes.

0:46:24 > 0:46:27It's not something they'd understand, these so-called disciples of my husband's.

0:46:27 > 0:46:29They've never understood a word he's ever written.

0:46:34 > 0:46:35What do they know about love?

0:47:13 > 0:47:16I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

0:47:16 > 0:47:21I'm sorry! Did I scare you? Are you all right?

0:47:21 > 0:47:26- Fine.- I'm sorry. I got back as soon as I could.

0:47:26 > 0:47:30It was a strange day. Lev Nikolayevich is...

0:47:30 > 0:47:35I love to listen to him talk, but today I could barely concentrate.

0:47:37 > 0:47:40All I could think about was you.

0:47:40 > 0:47:44- I think I've confused you.- No.

0:47:44 > 0:47:46- I think I've confused us both.- No.

0:47:49 > 0:47:53I was stupid. I was afraid, but I'm not afraid anymore.

0:47:53 > 0:47:55What are you...?

0:47:59 > 0:48:01Masha.

0:48:01 > 0:48:03I love you, Masha.

0:48:34 > 0:48:40Masha! Masha! I have...

0:48:43 > 0:48:45In my heart,

0:48:45 > 0:48:49I have committed the act of copulation many times!

0:48:55 > 0:48:58Please know it was never like it was with you.

0:49:04 > 0:49:07I'll wait for you, then.

0:49:07 > 0:49:08You will?

0:49:10 > 0:49:14- Give me this. What?! - MASHA LAUGHS

0:49:14 > 0:49:15What are you laughing at?

0:49:15 > 0:49:18- IN AN AMERICAN ACCENT: - It's a problem with the wax!

0:49:23 > 0:49:25I think I look just like him!

0:49:29 > 0:49:33- You're happy.- Well, of course I am.

0:49:33 > 0:49:37Love and be loved. That's the only reality there is in the world.

0:49:37 > 0:49:39He said that?

0:49:40 > 0:49:42Tolstoy said it, but I'm saying it.

0:49:44 > 0:49:48I'm saying it, Masha, because you make me know it.

0:49:48 > 0:49:51I look into your eyes, I can see the future.

0:49:53 > 0:49:55I think you're the bravest person I've ever met.

0:49:58 > 0:50:01You amaze me.

0:50:01 > 0:50:04You believe more than I know how to.

0:50:06 > 0:50:07I love you.

0:50:13 > 0:50:14You're pure, Valya.

0:50:19 > 0:50:21You're what I came here to find.

0:50:38 > 0:50:41Ivan, who's wearing that awful perfume?

0:50:47 > 0:50:50I understand this is difficult. It is a delicate situation.

0:50:50 > 0:50:53- This way.- This must be discussed now.

0:50:53 > 0:50:55It cannot wait any longer.

0:50:57 > 0:50:59Whatever happens, Mother mustn't find out.

0:50:59 > 0:51:04I hate to say it, but the Countess has become more and more dangerous.

0:51:04 > 0:51:08Oh, not dangerous. She's concerned for the welfare of the family.

0:51:08 > 0:51:11And we're concerned with the welfare of mankind.

0:51:16 > 0:51:19- You've been more than reasonable. - Have I?

0:51:19 > 0:51:20Of course you have.

0:51:20 > 0:51:23She already controls the income from your property.

0:51:23 > 0:51:26Listen to him. He has our best interests at heart.

0:51:26 > 0:51:29We are speaking only of the rights to your words, your ideas.

0:51:29 > 0:51:31With all love and respect,

0:51:31 > 0:51:34the countess is too interested in making a profit from your work.

0:51:41 > 0:51:45She's my wife. She's part of me. We've been together all these years.

0:51:45 > 0:51:48But you're more than a husband and father. She must understand that.

0:51:48 > 0:51:52The best interests of the people are one with your own. You belong to them.

0:51:52 > 0:51:54She won't. She'll never understand.

0:51:57 > 0:52:00She's unstable. I wonder if she isn't ill.

0:52:00 > 0:52:04- It's sadly more than probable. - I know it's hard, Papa, but you must be realistic.

0:52:04 > 0:52:07Her behaviour is extremely alarming.

0:52:07 > 0:52:11Do you truly think she is fit to control the final disposition of this will?

0:52:11 > 0:52:14- Well, I don't... I don't... - How dare... Argh!- God!

0:52:17 > 0:52:19What are you doing?!

0:52:19 > 0:52:24You're all plotting against me! In my own house, too!

0:52:24 > 0:52:27I bear you 13 children.

0:52:27 > 0:52:30How can you betray me like this?

0:52:30 > 0:52:32Somebody, help me up.

0:52:37 > 0:52:39Go ahead. Go ahead.

0:52:39 > 0:52:42Why don't you give everything we've got to him?

0:52:42 > 0:52:44Your fat little catamite!

0:52:44 > 0:52:47"What will it be, my dearest darling, my Vladimir Grigorevich?

0:52:47 > 0:52:50"My wife's heart on a platter? Her kidneys, with salt?"

0:52:50 > 0:52:52"But of course, my dear Chertkov.

0:52:52 > 0:52:54"Whatever pleases you.

0:52:54 > 0:52:59"The china, the estate, permanent copyright on anything I've ever written? Anything for you, my love!"

0:53:05 > 0:53:12- Give that to me.- No.- Give it to me, you little weasel!- Sofya! - Give it to me!

0:53:15 > 0:53:20Can I not have some...? Can I not have some...?

0:53:20 > 0:53:23You'll kill him, Mama. Well, that's what you want, isn't it?

0:53:23 > 0:53:25You want him to die!

0:53:25 > 0:53:27Lev...

0:53:30 > 0:53:34It's all right, it's all right. Let's get him downstairs.

0:53:40 > 0:53:43You don't deceive me for one moment.

0:53:43 > 0:53:46I know exactly what you're doing.

0:53:51 > 0:53:53I want to see the will.

0:53:53 > 0:53:57It is my right as his wife in the sight of God.

0:53:57 > 0:53:59What are you afraid of?

0:53:59 > 0:54:00You.

0:54:00 > 0:54:02I'm afraid of you.

0:54:05 > 0:54:09The press are bloodthirsty, Sofya. Had I wished, I could have demolished you.

0:54:09 > 0:54:13- You make it easy. - Then tell them anything you want. Go ahead. Ruin us!

0:54:13 > 0:54:17I have too much respect for Lev Nikolayevich! You're lucky!

0:54:17 > 0:54:20Why can't my husband see you for what you are?

0:54:20 > 0:54:25If I had a wife like you, I would've blown my brains out!

0:54:25 > 0:54:27Or gone to America.

0:54:35 > 0:54:36SHE SOBS

0:54:56 > 0:54:59EPIC OPERA PLAYS

0:55:10 > 0:55:12I hope you're feeling better.

0:55:17 > 0:55:19Do you like the opera?

0:55:19 > 0:55:21Yes.

0:55:26 > 0:55:29I'm very sorry...about everything.

0:55:35 > 0:55:37This aria is so beautiful.

0:55:37 > 0:55:42It's about a woman who's been abandoned by the man she loves.

0:55:42 > 0:55:47Everyone finds that very moving...in the opera.

0:55:52 > 0:55:54THE DOOR OPENS

0:55:58 > 0:56:01Our life together has become intolerable.

0:56:01 > 0:56:04Sit down, Valentin.

0:56:04 > 0:56:07- Really, I'm expected at Telyatinki. - No, please. Come, enjoy your dinner.

0:56:07 > 0:56:10We've just had a disagreement, like all married couples.

0:56:10 > 0:56:13Despite good cause for it,

0:56:13 > 0:56:14I have never stopped loving you.

0:56:14 > 0:56:18- Of course.- But God knows you don't make it easy.

0:56:18 > 0:56:20Why should it be easy?

0:56:20 > 0:56:24I am the work of your life, you the work of mine. That's what love is.

0:56:24 > 0:56:26- I should go.- No, sit down.

0:56:28 > 0:56:32So, that's what love is, eh?

0:56:32 > 0:56:36- Does that surprise you, boy? - I thought it might be a touch quieter, but...

0:56:36 > 0:56:38BOTH: Bless you.

0:56:38 > 0:56:41He's right, though.

0:56:41 > 0:56:43If we can't live a decent,

0:56:43 > 0:56:46quiet life, if I can't work

0:56:46 > 0:56:49and find some peace, then I shall go away.

0:56:49 > 0:56:53- Go?- Not to Chertkov, but I shall go.

0:56:53 > 0:56:55- Go where? - Dushan says you're killing me!

0:56:57 > 0:57:00Then go! Go anywhere you please!

0:57:00 > 0:57:02Go anywhere you please!

0:57:04 > 0:57:06I hate you!

0:57:06 > 0:57:08I hate what you've become!

0:57:08 > 0:57:13- Go!- Dushan!

0:57:13 > 0:57:15SHE STRUGGLES FOR BREATH

0:57:15 > 0:57:18Countess? Countess!

0:57:18 > 0:57:20Is she all right?

0:57:20 > 0:57:22- Is she all right?- Sofya.

0:57:22 > 0:57:27Sofya, are you all right? Open your eyes. Open your eyes.

0:57:29 > 0:57:34Oh, my back! Oh... Oh... Oh, my back!

0:57:36 > 0:57:41You're lying on a fork. Sit up and you'll improve markedly.

0:57:42 > 0:57:45If you'll be good enough to take her upstairs.

0:58:06 > 0:58:08Masha.

0:58:20 > 0:58:22I'm sorry.

0:58:23 > 0:58:25HE SIGHS

0:58:25 > 0:58:27It was terrible there today.

0:58:27 > 0:58:31They loved each other so much, I'm sure of it, I'm sure they do, but...

0:58:31 > 0:58:34You see what it becomes, and you just wish that you could...

0:58:38 > 0:58:41Is something the matter?

0:58:41 > 0:58:42Masha?

0:58:46 > 0:58:48I'm going back to Moscow.

0:58:48 > 0:58:50What?

0:58:50 > 0:58:53Chertkov spoke with me this afternoon.

0:58:53 > 0:58:56He said I could be more useful there.

0:58:56 > 0:58:59- Which means... - Which means he's punishing us.

0:58:59 > 0:59:01He's punishing me.

0:59:01 > 0:59:04He's punishing me for befriending Sofya Andreyevna.

0:59:04 > 0:59:05This is Chertkov.

0:59:05 > 0:59:08We've both disappointed him, but I don't care.

0:59:08 > 0:59:11I don't care either, but you can't leave. I'm going to talk to him.

0:59:11 > 0:59:16- I'm going to make him make you stay. - No. I want to go.- What?

0:59:16 > 0:59:17I'm leaving the movement.

0:59:24 > 0:59:27Sit down, sit down.

0:59:27 > 0:59:33- You can't leave Tolstoy.- I'm not. - You can't leave.- No, I'm not.

0:59:33 > 0:59:36- When I read his confession, it moved me, Valya.- Yes.

0:59:36 > 0:59:40When he was searching for freedom.

0:59:40 > 0:59:42Freedom from anger, freedom from attachment,

0:59:42 > 0:59:46freedom from all the superstition and the nonsense of the church.

0:59:46 > 0:59:48I mean, it moved me so much.

0:59:48 > 0:59:50And that's what I thought it would be about.

0:59:50 > 0:59:53I mean, isn't that what it's about?

0:59:53 > 0:59:55Freedom and love?

0:59:58 > 1:00:00They mix it all up.

1:00:05 > 1:00:08Come with me.

1:00:10 > 1:00:12Please?

1:00:26 > 1:00:29I can't.

1:00:38 > 1:00:39I'm going to my room.

1:00:42 > 1:00:45Masha.

1:00:52 > 1:00:55Masha, please. I can't.

1:00:55 > 1:00:57I need you.

1:01:02 > 1:01:03I know you do.

1:01:05 > 1:01:07I know.

1:01:20 > 1:01:27A-Y. A-Y.

1:01:27 > 1:01:29What was it? I don't remember.

1:01:31 > 1:01:33Was it your...?

1:01:33 > 1:01:35No, no, no.

1:01:35 > 1:01:38You rest now.

1:02:31 > 1:02:35- Good afternoon, Lev Nikolayevich. - Is it?

1:02:50 > 1:02:56- Remember that this will ensure that your complete works will live in the public domain.- Monumentous.

1:02:56 > 1:03:01Your works are the birthright of the Russian people.

1:03:01 > 1:03:05And now they will possess them forever.

1:03:07 > 1:03:09Yes?

1:03:09 > 1:03:11I need a pen.

1:03:11 > 1:03:13Oh, of course, of course.

1:03:15 > 1:03:17- I...- What?

1:03:21 > 1:03:24- I don't seem to have a pen. - You're a secretary.

1:03:24 > 1:03:25How can you not have a pen?

1:03:25 > 1:03:28He's a secretary, too. Ask him.

1:03:28 > 1:03:34- Valentin Fedorovich, do you have a pen?- I...

1:03:41 > 1:03:46Yes. Yes, I have a pen.

1:03:59 > 1:04:03Are you all right?

1:04:03 > 1:04:05I'm a conspirator.

1:04:05 > 1:04:07Nothing more.

1:04:07 > 1:04:08HE LAUGHS

1:04:40 > 1:04:47- Lev Nikolayevich, may I ask you a question that has nothing to do with the work?- Of course, my dear.

1:04:47 > 1:04:49Do you love your wife?

1:04:53 > 1:04:58You see, when I was courting Sofya, she was so young and so pure,

1:04:58 > 1:05:02it just seemed impossible that I could ever have her.

1:05:02 > 1:05:05I didn't want to tell her how I felt, and yet...

1:05:05 > 1:05:08I wanted to tell her nothing else.

1:05:08 > 1:05:13So I wrote down a string of letters, and asked her if she would decipher them.

1:05:13 > 1:05:17At first, she was completely confused and thought it was some sort of game.

1:05:17 > 1:05:19So I gave her a clue. One clue.

1:05:19 > 1:05:21"The first two Ys...",

1:05:21 > 1:05:24I said, "..stand for, 'Your youth'",

1:05:24 > 1:05:26and that was all I said.

1:05:26 > 1:05:32And then... the most miraculous thing happened.

1:05:32 > 1:05:34She simply spoke the phrase.

1:05:36 > 1:05:40"Your youth and your desire for happiness

1:05:40 > 1:05:45"cruelly remind me of my age, and the impossibility of happiness for me."

1:05:47 > 1:05:50The entire phrase, my phrase.

1:05:50 > 1:05:52As if she'd read my mind.

1:05:54 > 1:05:58In that moment, we both knew we would always be together.

1:05:58 > 1:06:02And for the first few years,

1:06:02 > 1:06:05we were incredibly, terrifyingly...

1:06:08 > 1:06:09..happy.

1:06:17 > 1:06:19And now this.

1:06:36 > 1:06:39- I'm leaving Telyatinki.- Really?- Yes.

1:06:39 > 1:06:42I'm going to Moscow.

1:06:42 > 1:06:45She's leading you around by the nose, my boy.

1:06:45 > 1:06:48- Look, you say that the movement is about love.- Which it is.

1:06:48 > 1:06:50The love that he teaches us.

1:06:50 > 1:06:54- The love that binds all mankind together.- I've never met mankind.

1:06:54 > 1:06:57I've only ever met men or women.

1:06:57 > 1:07:00- Imperfect men, imperfect women.- Yes.

1:07:00 > 1:07:04But Lev Nikolayevich also teaches us that love cannot be weak-minded.

1:07:04 > 1:07:06It cannot be stupid.

1:07:09 > 1:07:13Go. We will miss you.

1:07:13 > 1:07:16Our naive sentimentalist.

1:07:28 > 1:07:30HE SNORES

1:07:32 > 1:07:34Leovochka?

1:07:40 > 1:07:44Kashnikov wants to buy the rights to your work after your death.

1:07:44 > 1:07:47Then I shall try and die as soon as is convenient.

1:07:47 > 1:07:49Oh, come on, don't be silly.

1:07:49 > 1:07:52Come, look. Look, he has offered one million rubles.

1:07:53 > 1:07:56How can you not be pleased?

1:07:56 > 1:07:58I don't write for publishers, I write for people.

1:07:58 > 1:08:01- Well, where are you going? - Valentin is in the library.

1:08:01 > 1:08:03- He wants to see me.- Fine!

1:08:03 > 1:08:06Fine, go ahead and let your wretched family starve.

1:08:06 > 1:08:10I don't see anyone starving in this house.

1:08:10 > 1:08:11On the contrary,

1:08:11 > 1:08:14our privilege revolts me.

1:08:14 > 1:08:18Well, you're the first to the trough!

1:08:18 > 1:08:20Always have been.

1:08:58 > 1:09:01What is it, my boy? You look unhappy.

1:09:04 > 1:09:05What do you want to tell me?

1:09:06 > 1:09:08GUNSHOTS

1:09:14 > 1:09:18Sofya! Sofya!

1:09:24 > 1:09:26What are you doing?

1:09:26 > 1:09:29How could you do this to me?

1:09:29 > 1:09:32You're not well.

1:09:32 > 1:09:35You just hurt me again and again.

1:09:35 > 1:09:39You tear pieces off me until there's nothing left.

1:09:41 > 1:09:43I don't know who I am any more.

1:09:48 > 1:09:50I read your diary.

1:09:50 > 1:09:54I know what you've done.

1:09:54 > 1:09:56You behave like this, I have no choice.

1:09:57 > 1:09:59Now give me the gun.

1:09:59 > 1:10:02- No!- Please, Countess. - Give me the gun, please.

1:10:45 > 1:10:47I'd like you to stay here tonight.

1:10:50 > 1:10:51Yes, of course.

1:11:15 > 1:11:18- Valentin, get up.- What? - He's leaving.

1:11:23 > 1:11:25Shh!

1:11:30 > 1:11:33Pack essentials only.

1:11:33 > 1:11:36Nothing that isn't absolutely necessary.

1:11:36 > 1:11:38Please, we must hurry.

1:11:38 > 1:11:40- Where will you go?- Your coat, Papa.

1:11:40 > 1:11:42We don't need a plan, we just go.

1:11:42 > 1:11:44A lantern, I think. It's very dark tonight.

1:11:44 > 1:11:47And the apparatus for giving an enema.

1:11:55 > 1:11:56Everything's ready.

1:12:01 > 1:12:04- Ow!- Dushan, you all right?

1:12:04 > 1:12:08- Please, go steady.- You all right?

1:12:08 > 1:12:09Papa?

1:12:13 > 1:12:15He's changed his mind.

1:12:15 > 1:12:17He's going back to the house.

1:12:47 > 1:12:50Do you want to go back?

1:12:52 > 1:12:54No.

1:12:54 > 1:12:58This life is behind me now.

1:13:13 > 1:13:15- Help me up.- Yes, of course.

1:13:25 > 1:13:26Give this to Sofya.

1:13:26 > 1:13:28Yes.

1:13:34 > 1:13:36- Be well, be well. - SHE SOBS

1:13:46 > 1:13:47Don't cry, don't cry.

1:13:47 > 1:13:50I'll send for you when I can.

1:14:02 > 1:14:03Drive on.

1:14:27 > 1:14:32- He's gone. For good? - I think so, yes.

1:14:35 > 1:14:38Oh, Sasha, darling, I know you know where your father is.

1:14:38 > 1:14:42So, darling, please, this is not a time to play games, please?

1:14:42 > 1:14:45Countess, I have this for you.

1:14:54 > 1:14:59'My position in the house has become intolerable.

1:14:59 > 1:15:04'What I'm doing now is what people have commonly done,

1:15:04 > 1:15:09'leave their worldly life behind to spend their last days in peace and solitude.'

1:15:12 > 1:15:14THE COUNTESS SCREAMS

1:15:17 > 1:15:18The pond!

1:15:20 > 1:15:22- Mama!- Countess!

1:15:22 > 1:15:28- Please, Mama!- 'Please understand this, and don't come after me, even if you find out where I am.

1:15:28 > 1:15:34'Your coming would only make our position worse, and would not alter my decision.'

1:15:34 > 1:15:35Mother!

1:15:37 > 1:15:41'I beg you to forgive me for everything I've done to you,

1:15:41 > 1:15:46'just as I forgive you with all my soul for everything you've done to me.'

1:15:54 > 1:15:56Countess!

1:16:02 > 1:16:06Mama! Mama!

1:16:08 > 1:16:09Mama!

1:16:09 > 1:16:10I have her!

1:16:13 > 1:16:17Here! Here! Take her! Take her!

1:16:24 > 1:16:27Ivan, go to the house. Get a doctor, quickly, quickly! Turn her.

1:16:27 > 1:16:32Turn her over, come on. Oh, God!

1:16:34 > 1:16:36SHE COUGHS

1:16:53 > 1:16:57Ivan, go to the station. Find out which train he took.

1:16:57 > 1:16:59For God's sake!

1:17:01 > 1:17:06Come, come. Let's get you to bed. Ready, and up. There we...

1:17:10 > 1:17:11Thank you.

1:17:34 > 1:17:35Here, tea.

1:17:37 > 1:17:39She's exhausted herself.

1:17:39 > 1:17:41She slept for nearly four hours.

1:17:41 > 1:17:45Well, I'm glad she can sleep. The pain subsides a little.

1:17:45 > 1:17:48The noise subsides a little.

1:17:50 > 1:17:52KNOCK ON DOOR

1:17:52 > 1:17:53Come in.

1:17:53 > 1:17:55A message, miss.

1:17:55 > 1:17:59- For me?- From your father.

1:18:02 > 1:18:06'My darling Sasha, I have stopped to rest at Shamardino.

1:18:06 > 1:18:09'I'll wait for you to join me here.

1:18:09 > 1:18:12'Please ask Valentin to stay and look after your mother.

1:18:12 > 1:18:14'When you arrive,

1:18:14 > 1:18:18'we'll continue the journey south together. Your loving father.'

1:18:34 > 1:18:37- They've all gone.- I'm here.

1:18:41 > 1:18:44Aaw! You're writing to your girl.

1:18:44 > 1:18:46Oh, how lovely.

1:18:46 > 1:18:49I'm not sure she is my girl.

1:18:50 > 1:18:53- But you believe you'll see her again?- I very much hope so.

1:18:53 > 1:18:55Yes. Yes.

1:18:55 > 1:19:00I know you know where he is, Valentin.

1:19:01 > 1:19:03Sofya Andreyevna...

1:19:03 > 1:19:05I won't ask you to betray his trust.

1:19:05 > 1:19:08I just need you to go to him. I do.

1:19:08 > 1:19:12I have to see him. I have to talk to him.

1:19:12 > 1:19:16I won't make a scene. You can promise him that.

1:19:17 > 1:19:19I just want to see him.

1:19:32 > 1:19:35"Tolstoy abandons home, whereabouts unknown.

1:19:35 > 1:19:38"The sage of Yasnaya Polyana takes flight."

1:19:41 > 1:19:44I hope it's not too much for him.

1:19:52 > 1:19:53Where are we?

1:19:53 > 1:19:55It's all right. Everything's fine.

1:19:58 > 1:20:02Let me take your temperature. Come on.

1:20:30 > 1:20:33Be mindful of these steps.

1:20:46 > 1:20:48We've come to the end of the world.

1:21:10 > 1:21:12This is the station master.

1:21:12 > 1:21:15He's very kindly said we may have his home for as long as we want it.

1:21:15 > 1:21:19- There are no inns nearby, so we are lucky.- Yes, very lucky.

1:21:19 > 1:21:21You'll be comfortable here, Papa.

1:21:21 > 1:21:25The rest of us, we'll find cots, or sleep in the station.

1:21:25 > 1:21:30- And then we'll be on our way. - Yes. Yes, Papa. We'll be on our way.

1:21:37 > 1:21:38Excuse me?

1:21:38 > 1:21:41KNOCKS ON GLASS

1:21:41 > 1:21:43I'd like to send a telegram, please.

1:21:45 > 1:21:47At Astapovo. Stop.

1:21:47 > 1:21:50Tolstoy ill. Stop.

1:21:52 > 1:21:54Temperature high.

1:21:54 > 1:21:58You can send it to Countess Sofya Andreyevna Tolstoya,

1:21:58 > 1:22:01Yasnaya Polyana, Tula Province.

1:22:01 > 1:22:04(Please come back. Please come back.)

1:22:15 > 1:22:19Concern for Lev Nikolayevich's health has been expressed

1:22:19 > 1:22:23by people as diverse as Mr Henry James and Mr Joseph Conrad.

1:22:23 > 1:22:26Lev Nikolayevich's temperature currently stands

1:22:26 > 1:22:29at 40 degrees Celsius, that is 104 degrees Fahrenheit.

1:22:29 > 1:22:33His blood pressure, which is hypertonic, is 180 over 100.

1:22:33 > 1:22:35However, it should be added,

1:22:35 > 1:22:39Lev Nikolayevich's manner and mental acuity is as great as ever...

1:22:39 > 1:22:40Bulgakov!

1:22:40 > 1:22:44- Where is he? Take me to him. - This way.

1:22:44 > 1:22:46He left. It's astonishing. He actually finally left.

1:22:46 > 1:22:48He was very sick, too sick to travel.

1:22:48 > 1:22:51It's a triumph for the movement.

1:23:00 > 1:23:02He looks so small.

1:23:04 > 1:23:05Papa.

1:23:07 > 1:23:09Oh, it's you.

1:23:09 > 1:23:12My dear friend.

1:23:13 > 1:23:15What is all of this?

1:23:15 > 1:23:17Well, I needed to see you.

1:23:19 > 1:23:21Thank you.

1:23:21 > 1:23:23COUGHS We have so much to do.

1:23:25 > 1:23:27Have you seen Sofya?

1:23:28 > 1:23:31I've made a point not to.

1:23:31 > 1:23:33She'll come.

1:23:33 > 1:23:36I don't know when she'll come, but she'll come. I know that.

1:23:36 > 1:23:38And we'll be ready.

1:23:38 > 1:23:39Ready for what?

1:23:43 > 1:23:45I'm sorry, but I'm afraid it's time for your enema.

1:23:45 > 1:23:47Don't apologise, my friend.

1:23:47 > 1:23:50Your enemas have become the news of the world.

1:24:44 > 1:24:46Good morning, gentlemen.

1:24:50 > 1:24:53I'm sure you will all be as relieved as I am

1:24:53 > 1:24:57that Lev Nikolayevich slept a relatively peaceful night.

1:24:57 > 1:25:00His temperature remains 40 degrees Celsius.

1:25:00 > 1:25:03And his blood pressure is also hypertonic.

1:25:03 > 1:25:06That having been said, however,

1:25:06 > 1:25:09his mind remains agile and full of fortitude.

1:25:09 > 1:25:12- It's the countess! - Of course, we have to remember...

1:25:12 > 1:25:16- Is she here?- It's the countess. - Let's see.- Where is she?

1:25:16 > 1:25:20- It is the countess! - Which car is it?- The Countess!

1:25:44 > 1:25:45She's coming this way.

1:25:45 > 1:25:49Not before she stops to tell them lies, catalogue my atrocities.

1:25:49 > 1:25:51Let me talk to her.

1:25:51 > 1:25:56- I want to see my husband. - Yes. I'll...

1:25:56 > 1:25:59I want to see him now!

1:25:59 > 1:26:01- Countess! Countess!- Oh, Valentin.

1:26:01 > 1:26:04I want to see him, please.

1:26:04 > 1:26:06- I'm not sure now is the right time, Countess.- Yes, it is.

1:26:06 > 1:26:09It's the right time for me.

1:26:11 > 1:26:15It might be a better idea, countess, I think, if you waited...

1:26:15 > 1:26:17He only left because of you. Countess!

1:26:24 > 1:26:26I want to see my husband.

1:26:26 > 1:26:29He's too weak to see you, Mother.

1:26:29 > 1:26:32He's not too weak to see you. Not too weak to see that...

1:26:32 > 1:26:34Do you really want to do this here?

1:26:34 > 1:26:36So I am the leper outside the gate,

1:26:36 > 1:26:38while he sleeps with the devil himself.

1:26:38 > 1:26:41Chertkov is here because Father asked him to be here.

1:26:44 > 1:26:46- Is that true?- Yes.

1:26:50 > 1:26:53Well, did you tell him that I nearly drowned in the pond?

1:26:53 > 1:26:57We didn't need to. It's been in all the papers.

1:26:57 > 1:27:00- Please, let me take you back. - What did he say?

1:27:00 > 1:27:03He said that if you killed yourself, he'd be upset.

1:27:05 > 1:27:07He'd be "upset"?!

1:27:07 > 1:27:09Horribly upset.

1:27:09 > 1:27:12But he could not have acted other than he did.

1:27:12 > 1:27:13I want to see him.

1:27:17 > 1:27:20- He's my husband. He's not your husband.- You're unbearable.

1:27:20 > 1:27:23And you are a stonehearted bitch of a daughter.

1:27:26 > 1:27:29I lost five children! Why couldn't one of them have been you?!

1:27:29 > 1:27:33SHE SOBS

1:27:33 > 1:27:36(Are you finished?)

1:27:41 > 1:27:44Valentin, would you take me back, please?

1:27:44 > 1:27:46Yes, of course.

1:27:49 > 1:27:51Please, make way. Make way. Make way!

1:27:53 > 1:27:55(I've behaved rather badly, haven't I?)

1:27:55 > 1:27:58No, countess. No, don't worry.

1:29:07 > 1:29:09Here. For you.

1:29:17 > 1:29:19- Is this clean?- Of course it's clean.

1:29:22 > 1:29:24Dushan, what's the matter?

1:29:24 > 1:29:26Listen to him.

1:29:26 > 1:29:28I'm supposed to be a doctor, for God's sake.

1:29:30 > 1:29:34Sofya? Sofya?

1:29:34 > 1:29:36What is it?

1:29:36 > 1:29:37What is it?

1:29:42 > 1:29:44She's come, hasn't she?

1:29:46 > 1:29:48- She's here.- You're imagining things.

1:29:48 > 1:29:50Sasha!

1:29:50 > 1:29:52Where is your mother?

1:29:54 > 1:29:57She's at home.

1:29:59 > 1:30:02If she wants to see me, I can't refuse her.

1:30:02 > 1:30:04Yes.

1:30:04 > 1:30:08Is she going to come here?

1:30:08 > 1:30:10I don't...

1:30:10 > 1:30:11There's no way to...

1:30:14 > 1:30:16There's no way to what?

1:30:36 > 1:30:39I'd like to send another telegram, please.

1:30:40 > 1:30:42At Astapovo. Stop.

1:30:43 > 1:30:45Tolstoy ill. Stop.

1:30:46 > 1:30:48Heartbreaking. Stop. Please come.

1:30:51 > 1:30:55You can send it to Masha... Maria Filipovna Melinova.

1:30:59 > 1:31:03- You lied to him! - Keep your voice down.

1:31:03 > 1:31:05He wants to see her. You heard him say it.

1:31:05 > 1:31:08- And what exactly do you think she'll bring him?- I don't know.

1:31:08 > 1:31:10They've been married for 48 years.

1:31:10 > 1:31:13I'll tell you what she'll bring. Vanity, fuss, and noise.

1:31:13 > 1:31:16- She promised me she would not... - Promised you what? What, what?

1:31:16 > 1:31:18You've seen her at close quarters, my boy.

1:31:18 > 1:31:22Do you think she's capable of restraining herself from acting like a mad woman?

1:31:22 > 1:31:24They have a life together. Why deny that?

1:31:24 > 1:31:26You have become a victim of her romantic nonsense.

1:31:26 > 1:31:31And you wilfully forget that she wants to destroy everything we do.

1:31:31 > 1:31:33She travels here with that unctuous little priest.

1:31:33 > 1:31:37- We'll keep the priest away. - These people are vultures, Valentin.

1:31:37 > 1:31:39And they wait to descend till the very last moment,

1:31:39 > 1:31:42to welcome him back to the Church, this is their fantasy.

1:31:42 > 1:31:44- Keep the priest away. - A deathbed recantation.

1:31:44 > 1:31:49Do you have any idea the damage that that will do?

1:31:49 > 1:31:50Everything that he has dreamed of,

1:31:50 > 1:31:55everything that we have worked for will be gone.

1:31:57 > 1:31:59A simple, noble death,

1:31:59 > 1:32:03is what we want.

1:32:03 > 1:32:05That's what he wants.

1:32:07 > 1:32:10No, you want to create an icon.

1:32:10 > 1:32:14And you want people to kneel in front of an image that you create.

1:32:14 > 1:32:17But he doesn't want that. He never has wanted that.

1:32:17 > 1:32:18It'll give him no peace.

1:32:20 > 1:32:22He wants to see her. Let her come.

1:32:25 > 1:32:28I will do everything in my power to prevent that.

1:32:31 > 1:32:33That image you want to create,

1:32:33 > 1:32:37it's going to look more like you than him.

1:33:38 > 1:33:39Valentin?

1:33:57 > 1:33:59It can't be right. His fever is down.

1:33:59 > 1:34:00Yes.

1:34:02 > 1:34:04But, his pulse,

1:34:04 > 1:34:06you see, it's...

1:34:06 > 1:34:09HE GROANS

1:34:13 > 1:34:15My dear.

1:34:20 > 1:34:21Shall I call her?

1:34:22 > 1:34:25He wouldn't know who she is anyway.

1:34:25 > 1:34:26Yes!

1:34:43 > 1:34:46FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

1:34:50 > 1:34:52Bring a coat. It's cold.

1:35:02 > 1:35:05Countess. Countess, could you give me some information?

1:35:05 > 1:35:07Countess, is he dying?

1:35:07 > 1:35:09Is he dead?

1:35:20 > 1:35:24Leovochka! Leovochka, my darling.

1:35:24 > 1:35:26Oh, my darling, please forgive me, please!

1:35:26 > 1:35:31I'm a fool. I'm a selfish woman, but I love you, darling.

1:35:31 > 1:35:34Please believe me.

1:35:34 > 1:35:37Please, please understand me,

1:35:37 > 1:35:40and please forgive my wickedness and my badness.

1:35:40 > 1:35:42Mother!

1:35:42 > 1:35:44Control yourself.

1:35:45 > 1:35:48- Am I shouting? - You have to control yourself.

1:35:52 > 1:35:54Yes. Yes, I will.

1:36:09 > 1:36:13You don't speak, but I hear you.

1:36:15 > 1:36:18Do you love me, Leovochka?
