And you're not quite ready yet for...

As grandpa had heard from his grandpa,

many a king's sons had tried

to get through the slubbery...

- Shrubbery.

of rose.

Good.

- Are you Jaan Kask?

- Yes.

Are you part of that fencing club?

Is your grandfather in?

You listening? Is he in or not?

Don't go!

Listen to me. You're a man now.

Support your mother

and don't worry about me.

Become a good fencer,

then everything will be alright.

Got it?

It's me, Endel!

There's a tournament in Leningrad

and I...

Who do you want?

Could I speak to Alexey Petrovich?

He's not in. Who's asking?

Just tell him it's a friend...

- Do you have a message for him?

- No, that's all right.

I don't know...

One moment...

It's long distance from Leningrad

to Comrade Nelis!

- He's not here yet...

- I know!

But someone's gotta take this call!

- He just keeps calling and calling!

- I can't...

One moment! His very

good friend is here now.

Please.

Hello?

Who is this?

What are you doing here?

I talked to your coach...

- Alexey?

- He called from Leningrad.

What did he have to say?

He said that under no circumstances

should you go to Leningrad!

What did he mean by that?

Why can't you go there?

What's there in Leningrad?

It was...

It was during the war.

I'd just turned eighteen.

- I got drafted.

- By the Germans?

We all were.

All my friends and schoolmates.

We were all in the same unit.

Later on, we ran away

and hid in the woods.

In fact, we were lucky...

Well, I was.

At the end of the war,

when the Russians started coming,

I managed to sneak out.

I got to Leningrad and started

using my mother's name...

You can't go there!

It's too dangerous!

I feel as if I've been running

all my life...

And I'm tired of it.

So instead you want

to be sent to Siberia to die?

What should I say to the children?

What should I tell them?

I can't let them down!

- They trust me like a...

- A father?

Yes, like a father.

Do you know how many of them

have fathers?

- Have you asked?

- Yes, I have!

Toomas' father is dead,

and so is Marta's!

She looks after two little ones,

while her mother works two shifts!

Jaan's father is missing and

now they took his grandfather!

I saw their faces when they heard

that their fathers will not come back.

That wasn't even the worst part.

It was the endless, useless waiting!

You can't go!

Maybe that's why I need to go...

Kadri, wait...

What are you doing here?

- What are you doing here?

- Practicing.

You shouldn't stay here this late.

Does your mother know where you are?

She's at work.

What do you find the hardest?

What do you have to practice the most?

I think... The circular quarte.
