practicing to impress them?

- The prodigies, I mean.

- Abrascha and Larissa are my friends.

Hanna. They're Jewish.

Nothing good will come out

of this. For you and everyone.

Of course you earned the money.

But your father sacrificed

many things for your lessons.

If money is more important

than music, quit playing.

Listen with your heart, and

concentrate on your music.

The heart doesn't have ears.

But it has a soul.

- Where's Abrascha?

- He's grounded.

He fought with his father over lessons.

We didn't know your

father gave them money.

But I just...

Wanted to become friends through music.

This piece, it's really pretty.

Children, let's start your lessons.

It's a song about friendship.

Stop, stop, stop.

Dvorak called this piece "Humoreske".

Why are you playing legato?

It should be powerful like grazioso.

That part was hard for

me too. I'll help.

- Are you still composing your song?

- I made a promise with Abrascha.

This is a song for real friends.

Only true friends can hear it.

I'm wondering if you can hear it.

Really?

I have something to show you too.

They're not coming to

me. How do you do that?

Hanna, you're the queen of fish.

Today the Fhrer broke

the long and heavy silence

and Europe's fate is in

the hands of German soldiers.

The communist Soviet Union's battle

will be a decisive historical event.

The Luftwaffe just

bombed a Russian base.

On June 22, 3 AM,

powerful German troops

crossed enemy lines.

That's not possible. Hitler and

Stalin signed a nonaggression pact.

- They promised neutrality.

- What if Stalin breaks the pact?

What's wrong, mom?

We don't know yet.

You two should go home.

Hitler's goal is to expand his

territory and overthrow communism.

He's doing it for

the interest of Germany.

Really? After coming here, I

have a hard time believing that.

- Suddenly, we're living in a war zone!

- We can go back, can't we?

The consulate can send

us back to Germany safely.

The NKVD will be chasing after

us, now that we're the enemy.

What's the "NKDV"?

- They're like the police.

- Police? More like executioners.

- I'm going to the brewery.

- Isn't it dangerous?

- No.

- Then let me go with you.

What brings you here?

Has anyone come to work?

Around half. Should I send them home?

Who wants to work should work.

I'm not the one who declared war.

- I'll go to the consulate.

- See you later.

Dad, why does Germany attack Russia?

I don't know. Hitler and Stalin

were friends until yesterday.

We'll find a way back home, I promise.

This is our home. Everyone likes us.

Now, war has come here too.

German Reich Consulate

Duck!

Can't we ask Lieutenant Tapilin to help us? He's
