It'll be a nice memory for you.

Lean on the side.

OK, let's go!

She's here! Don't stay there!

OK, see you!

OK, keep going...

Lift your feet up here.

There we are...

Keep going...

Alexandra Nikolaevna...

Your "hotel".

- Are we here?

- Go ahead.

Is this it?

Go on, you go in first.

As you wish.

There you are, Alexandra Nikolaevna.

Make yourself at home.

Go on!

- Put that there!

- No, here!

Hurry up!

That's fine.

Sir...

OK, OK!

Don't stay here. Go!

Goodnight...

Here!

Let her sleep. Let's go.

It's so noisy!

It's hot already.

What time is it?

You'll drop me!

Denis! My little Denis!

I haven't seen you

in such a long time!

-Why are you all dirty?

- I sure am dirty.

Just look at you!

You're all sweaty!

Where are your manners?

And your uniform's worn out!

We'll wash it!

But later, Grandma, later.

Get dressed. I'll go freshen up.

Then, I'll show you the wash area.

You forgot your towel.

- Give it to me.

- Here.

It's so hot!

What's the temperature?

It must be over 100 degrees.

You promised me

you'd show me your men.

-There you are.

- "There" what?

And don't make that face!

No grimacing!

I'm the one who should be grimacing.

Here's where we clean the guns.

Each time they're used,

we clean them

so they don't get clogged up.

- Each time?

- Yes.

Of course...

- Rub it harder.

- I'm rubbing...

Why's the oil dirty?

- So, the cloth's dirty, too?

- Yeah.

Does this really interest you?

Come on.

-Wait, I want to watch.

-Take your time.

It's important to me.

Is she looking for someone or what?

- How old are you?

- 20.

You're really 20?

Go on, keep rubbing!

My hands won't obey me.

Got a phone?

The firing pin is in wrong.

The breech won't go in.

Don't look, these are old guns.

Why?

That's just how it is.

Look, they aren't your men.

Right.

Let's go!

Let's go, you're hot.

- Let's go see something else.

- OK.

Turn right toward the tent.

Careful where you walk.

I am being careful...

OK, let's go.

Is the grub coming?

They're waiting for their food.

Come see a tank.

It's more interesting.

Let's go.

The men go out in it.

Captain! Can I help you?

- Hi. You OK?.

- Hello.

This is my grandmother

who's visiting.

I'll show her our combat vehicles.

- Fine vehicle, isn't she?

- Just back from an exercise.

- Want to see inside?

- Let's go.

Put your foot on the trap door.

Tome Arsovski

Tome Arsovski (23 September 1928 – 22 April 2007) was a Macedonian dramatist. Many of his works are set during World War II or in post-war Macedonia and explore the hardships facing the people, although some are more light-hearted in subject. His works such as The Paradox of Diogenes (1961), Hoops (1965) and A Step Into Autumn (1969) are described by The Columbia Encyclopedia of Modern Drama as being "characterized by strong social commitment and analysis of social anomalies and their effect on the fate of the individual". His The Paradox of Diogenes is a courtroom drama which "focuses sharply on the relationship between the individual and society". more…
