I open my eyes and I see nothing.
I only remember
there was some accident.
Everyone ran for safety
as best they could.
I just can't remember
what happened to me.
How strange. Where am I?
Marie, I must tell you something.
Judging by the clothes,
this must be the 1800s.
Where are they rushing to?
What if we are denied entry?
I've never been so frightened!
Don't forget,
the girl in white is mine.
Where are you all going?
It's cold! Close the doors!
Quickly!
Move ahead!
I went looking
for the right way to go.
Those officers don't know the way.
Can it be that I'm invisible?
Or have I simply gone unnoticed?
Can it be?
Has all this been staged for me?
Am I expected to play a role?
What kind of play is this?
Let's hope it's not a tragedy.
What does it all mean?
- Maybe here?
No, it's there.
That man in black...
he wanders about, too.
He nods to me but goes away.
Pardon me for speaking
before we've been properly introduced.
What city is this?
What city? Well,
everyone speaks russian.
I so hoped this was chambord
during the directoire period.
- What language are we speaking?
- Russian.
Russian?
How strange!
What are they doing in there?
Shall we enter?
- Where? There?
No, I have to find out
what on earth I am doing here.
These wanderings about,
this knowing russian...
I want to leave.
Your curiosity is not amusing.
Could all this be theatre?
Farewell!
Our paths must part.
Farewell.
You have answered all my questions.
- Farewell then.
- Where does this door lead to?
What a pity.
We will never meet again.
He was obviously a foreigner.
Why would he be so rude otherwise?
It's best...
not to get involved in this.
Let's not disturb them.
In any case, it's much too late.
Sir, sir! I'm here.
My russian cicerone!
Do you know the way?
- Yes, let's go together.
- This is your country.
Yes, but not my century.
How did I come to be here?
I think I saw peter the great.
I hear delight in your voice.
Was it interesting?
Yes, very interesting.
Really.
In asia, tyrants are adored.
The more terrible the tyrant,
the more his memory is cherished.
Alexander the great, timur...
and your peter the great.
He taught russians
to enjoy themselves.
A spiral staircase.
Where has everyone disappeared to?
I see. But why?
What's so interesting up there?
You'll see...
peter ordered his son's execution.
The same man who taught the people
to enjoy life. How funny!
I thought you knew
where we were going.
over a swamp.
He introduced order
of the most primitive kind.
- Where are they going?
- But the city is still european!
To a party.
But why the back staircase?
They were taught to have fun.
So they go to parties.
And the officer and the lady?
- At the party.
- Where are they?
They've gone to the underworld.
Down, down, down!
And they are no more.
Be careful.
The stairs are steep and dark.
Thank you. I can see.
Do you see where we are?
No, I don't know yet.
Sir, be careful!
Don't betray our presence.
No need to remind me.
Do not forget I brought you here.
Please don't get involved
in anything.
And you, do not get too close
to the actors.
Bend towards me.
You are beautiful.
- Do you remember?
- Yes.
Good.
- Why are you pushing me?
- Don't scratch me!
- Why is she pushing me?
- You are pushing, too.
What an impressive orchestra!
They must be europeans!
No, they're russian musicians.
No, europeans!
Italians!
