- Who sucks up?

- You do! "Dad this, Dad that."

- He's a grownup.

- So? Are we short of grownups?

You believe every word he says.

And who is he?

He could be a gangster!

He could slit our throats in the forest!

- What?

- You heard!

You're stupid, Shorty.

We'll see who's stupid

when he gets his knife out.

Go ahead and laugh.

Ivan the fool is about to get slit!

- What're you doing?

- Little lvan's going to get slit!

Knock it off!

- Do you give up?

- Get off!

- Give up!

- Don't you get it?

How do I know he's our dad?

Why do you believe him?

Idiot! Mum said he's our father.

Our father! Got it?

Idiot!

Shorty?

Vanya! Are you crying?

Get lost!

You got these crazy ideas in your head.

I want to go home.

Let's go fishing tomorrow.

Early in the morning, while he's asleep.

They bite a lot at dawn!

Okay, Vanya?

Alright.

Sleep then.

What's that?

The diary, it's your turn.

Tomorrow, it's late now.

Get the torch, we said every day!

Nothing ever gets past you, does it?

Just write!

Wednesday

Shorty, get the rods ready.

To go where?

- Further on.

- Is that what Dad said?

Yes, Dad said. Let's go!

Why did we have to go?

They just started biting.

Leave that channel.

I wasted all the bait.

Turn it off.

I saw a huge pike there!

We could have tried the spinning rod.

Andrei,

check how much further to Beketovo.

Who needs this Beketovo?

There's great fishing here!

Why are you complaining?

We could have fished more,

we're on holiday.

Get out!

Here, fish.

So, are they biting?

Here, get changed.

Tell me why you came.

What for?

Why did you make us come?

You don't need us!

We were fine without you!

With Mum and Granny!

Why did you come?

Why did you take us with you?

What do you need us for?

Answer me!

- Mum asked me to spend time with you.

- Mum did?

- What about you?

- I want to spend time with you too.

Why? To taunt us?

Get changed.

Are we stuck, Dad?

Alright, get out of the car.

You can at least take your shoes off!

What?

Ivan, take your shoes off!

Here, put your coat on!

Cut some branches.

Andrei, let's tell him

that we're not going anywhere else!

Let's make him take us back home!

I don't want to.

- How much longer?

- One second.

Put the branches under the wheels.

I said under, not in front!

But how?

With your hands, with your hands!

I'll show you once.

- Got it?

- Yes.

Now, do the same with the other wheel.

What are you doing now?

What?

Why don't you just do it yourself!

Stand behind and push!

Push. On the count of three.

One, two, three, push. Got it?

Got it!

Had enough?

Go and steer.

Throttle on the right,

clutch on the left.

I know.

Do it!

Good work, Andrei!
