Despite the Falling Snow Page #4

You make me look at things

differently, Katya.

All I do is push paper from one side

of my desk to the other. I don't...

I don't really help anyone.

I understand.

Just give me a minute.

Go, then.

Leave me if you must.

Katya?

Coming.

Are you sure?

Oh, yes.

I love you, Katya.

And the address?

Perfect. Thanks.

Misha was living in the north

until two years ago.

Now he's back in Moscow.

He's back.

Shut up!

So, Marina let somebody hug her!

Miracles happen.

Can I make a call from here?

The queue at the hotel is impossible,

and I have to tell him.

- Your uncle?

- Mmm-hmm.

Give me the number. I'll try it for you.

Thanks.

No answer.

Okay.

Why don't you write a note, and I'll have

one of the guys, uh, fax it tonight.

Okay, sure.

Thanks.

Thank you for helping me today.

It's a long time since

I spent a day with anyone.

Except at work.

Don't you have any friends?

I'm used to being alone.

You like that one?

I... I didn't mean...

If you like it.

Thank you.

I should go. It's late.

You're welcome to stay. You know, if you want

a break from being alone.

Can we go and see Misha

tomorrow morning?

Yes.

Thank you, Marina.

I owe you.

Thank you.

SHOULDN'T YOU HAVE THE COURAGE TO LEARN

THE TRUTH ABOUT YOUR PAST,

INSTEAD OF SENDING YOUR NIECE?

MARINA.

- You all right, Katyusha?

- Yes.

You look sad.

It's 15 years ago today.

Your parents.

How could Stalin get away

with that for so long?

I want to make sure

it can't happen again.

Katya...

Everybody will be looking at the bride,

Sasha, not at you.

Good morning, comrade.

Where do we get married?

Should we get to know

each other first?

If you like.

Upstairs and right.

Thank you.

Go give him the flower

And tell him, she's coming.

Thank you, my little one.

Uncle Sasha, Papa says she's coming.

I can't do it, Misha.

I don't want to lie to him.

What's happened to you?

They shot your mother and your father

through the head.

They shot them and left you with no one!

I always thought I'd end up

with someone like you.

Someone on our side,

not theirs.

- You chose to do this.

- Oh.

And you can't let it go.

I wish you would just

leave me alone, Misha.

Find some other man to ruin because

I won't ruin him.

You change your mind?

Never.

We are going to be

so happy, Sasha.

Despite everything.

Despite what, Katyusha?

No, no, no.

You can't kiss yet.

You stood me up.

I just want Misha's address.

That's all.

What is going on?

Isn't it a bit early

for a drink?

Is that any of your concern?

I'm glad you like it.

Just leave.

Look at me.

Why didn't you come

to me today?

Mikhail Ardonov?

We're just doing

some research.

Where are you from?
