Where is he now?

Where else?

ln the boiler room

having tea with laymen.

With sugar!

- Shall l call him?

- No, l'll see him.

Did you tell him to quit his work

in the boiler room

and move to my cell?

- l did.

- And?

He asked me

if l know

why Cain killed Abel.

Why indeed?

Are you trying to hurt me?

Sorry. You can go.

l'll sort it out with him.

l mean well...

Go, my good man, go.

And forgive me.

O Mother of God,

forgive this sinner,

save and keep me.

Give me and my brethren

health and strength.

May this day be joyful

and free of sin.

Forgive me,

Mother of God.

Preserve my faith

and multiply my love for Thee.

With my whole heart

have l sought thee, O Lord.

O Lord, grant remission

of their sins

unto all who have fallen asleep

in faith and the hope

of resurrection...

Father!

Take this. All homemade.

Please pray for my late husband.

He was killed

in the Great Patriotic War.

Have a seat, sister.

Let's have tea.

Sit down.

Now tell me your story.

He keeps coming to me in my sleep.

- What does he say?

- Nothing.

He just groans.

He must be feeling bad up there.

- Did you love him?

- l still do.

We'd been together only six months.

Then he was recruited.

l've been widowed for 30 years now.

Very well.

Given such love,

it'll do no harm to ask.

l'll go see Father Anatoly.

He is not a saint but well-read.

He may give some useful advice.

Come over here.

While l'm talking to him -

l'll open the door -

you stand here and listen.

Just be quiet.

- What's his name?

- Mikhail.

Father Anatoly,

a widow here asks you to pray

for the repose of

a fallen warrior Mikhail.

What an idea!

A requiem for the living!

How come?

She says he laid down his life

in battle in '44.

He laid down nothing.

He was captured.

After Victory

he stayed in France.

He's ailing now.

Wants to see his first,

beloved wife before he dies.

What are you doing here? Go away.

Did you hear?

No requiem for the living, he says.

Your man is alive but ailing.

You gotta go to France.

To comfort the ailing man

before he dies

and close his eyes.

Don't stare at me, do it.

What are you saying, Father?

Me? To France?

Why not? People live in France too.

lmpossible.

lt's a capitalist country.

They won't let me out.

Have no fear.

lf Father Anatoly says so,

they will.

But there's my household, my cow...

My pig needs to be slaughtered.

Sell it all, lock, stock and barrel.

- All?

- Lock, stock and barrel.

Sell it. You won't be sorry.

They'll give a lot of money

for your pig.

lt's a good pig.

lf l ate meat

l'd buy it.

l would.

You must be joking, Father.

Do you love your husband?

Then go and do

what was preordained.
