Defiance Page #3

Synopsis: On the run and hiding in the deep forests of the then German-occupied Poland and Belorussia (World War II), the four Bielski brothers find the impossible task of foraging for food and weapons for their survival. They live, not only with the fear of discovery, contending with neighboring Soviet partisans and knowing whom to trust but also take the responsibility of looking after a large mass of fleeing Polish Jews from the German war machine. Women, men, children, the elderly and the young alike are all hiding in makeshift homes in the dark, cold and unforgiving forests in the darkest times of German-occupied Eastern Europe.

but we will not become animals.

We have all chosen this. To live here free,

like human beings, for as long as we can.

Every day of freedom, is like an act of faith.

And if we should die,

trying to live ...

then at least we die like human beings.

Thank God!

Come here! Come here!

Zus! Zus, I can't breathe. I can't breathe!

Look! Look what we found.

Where did you get these?

It is all right.

Please, come. Please!

It is all right.

Give me.

Asael, you've been busy.

- Shut up!

Hello! I'm Zus.

This is Bella and this is Chaya.

- Please, come. You must be hungry.

- Thank you!

And then we fell into this horrible bog.

And Chaya saved me, honestly, I can't swim at all.

Well, we'll have to teach you.

- We must have got lost a dozen times.

It was absolutely designed to die. Tell

him, Chaya, was it not the absolute worst?

And that farmer, a mister ..

- Koscik.

He kept making the most vulgar jokes.

So you're trying to tell me that all politics

is meaningless?

In the west, a monster with a little moustache,

in the east, a monster with a big moustache.

This is all I need to know about politics.

- You Messiah will have a moustache too.

And a full beard.

No. The Messiahs are all in politics

and they are killing us.

You know what's killing me?

Is all of your talking.

And Roosevelt... he has no moustache.

We need to know what's going on in the villages. Where

the Germans are patrolling, who the informants are.

Are you listening to me?

- Yes! Yes...

What's her name?

- Chaya.

What are you doing?

- You gonna talk to her.

I hardly know her!

- You spent three days in a cellar with her.

How much do you want to know her?

- Melvin says the Pitznarski grainery is full.

But we still need two guns at least.

- Who's turn is it to go?

Zus.

- You go with him.

Make sure he understands my orders.

Go! Go talk to her. Go!

Hello! How are you?

- I'm good.

- Good!

- How are you?

Leave half. He cannot go to the

Germans empty handed.

Tuvia's orders.

Halt! Who goes there?

- You know who goes there, Lazar! We go there.

You only say "who goes there"

when you don't know who goes there.

Sorry, Zus.

Milk! And eggs!! Chaya, oh brave

men have brought us a feast.

- You can make me blintsis!

Hey! I don't think we've been properly introduced.

Hello.

- Arkady Lubczanski.

You are Chaya?

- Yes.

You're getting a long car ride? Anything you need?

An extra blanket?

No, thank you. I'm fine.

- Something nice and soft?

- No, no. It is allright.

Couldn't help but noticed you don't have a husband yet.

Here?

- A forest husband.

All the other women have chosen already,

they haven't told you about this?

No, but thank you for explaining it.
