A wave?

How am I supposed to eat now?

I didn't do it on purpose.

Alright, I'll show you how

to make a bowl from wood.

- I won't be able to.

- I'll teach you.

- Now what's wrong?

- Nothing.

Look after yourselves for a bit.

- Where are you going, Dad?

- For a walk.

We need worms.

The fish here won't go for bread.

Find some.

Easier said than done...

It's all sand round here!

- Why did he take the rucksack?

- Maybe to pick mushrooms.

Why don't we go into the forest

to get some worms?

- It's too far.

- But we need the worms.

Then let's go.

Bring a jar.

- Will this do?

- It will do fine!

- Is this really an island?

- Yes, I'm telling you it is.

I was up on the tower,

there is water all around.

- No one else is here?

- Looks that way.

- It's probably 100 years old.

- Probably.

- Andrei, where are you?

- I'm coming.

Come here.

- Look.

- How did this pit get here?

Who cares, it's full of worms!

Where's the jar?

The fish will be begging for these worms.

- Shall we cast from the shore?

- No, from the boat.

Wait, we have to get Dad's permission.

- Vanya!

- Why?

Can't we row on our own?

Come on, push.

- Where are you going? Get back here!

- We won't go far.

Dad, we won't be long!

Here, be back in an hour.

- At 3:
30. We have to leave.

- Got it, Dad.

Come on, sit down.

Be back here in an hour!

- And stay where I can see you.

- Got it, Dad.

"Got it, Dad!"

You're asking for it, Shorty!

I'm warning you!

Shorty, let's go.

It's already three o'clock.

Dad said to be back in half an hour.

I'll just cast a couple more times.

There's no point.

They're not biting today.

Andrei, let's go a little further.

- Dad said to go back!

- Will you stop nagging?

Just a bit further then we'll go back.

Alright, come on then.

Andrei! Come here!

Hurry!

What's wrong?

I saw a huge fish there!

Where?

- Andrei, run and get the rod!

- Why me?

- Hurry!

- Sh*t!

What'll we tell dad?

That we caught a fish

but it wasn't your idea.

- Look what we caught!

- Andrei, what time is it?

- What?

- What time does your watch say?

Seven o'clock, Dad...

- When were you supposed to be back?

- At half past three...

Did you see this fish?

I'm not talking to you.

Why were you late?

Well, you see...

What are you doing?

- Did you hear me calling you?

- No!

Don't even think about hitting me!

Let me explain, the fish...

- Why did I give you the watch?

- So, I'd have the time.

- And what happened?

- We caught a fish!

Don't touch him, it was me!

We found a ship!

Daddy, it's true!

It was lvan.

But you had the watch!

What do you want from me?

You're a coward, scum!

Kill me then, just kill me!
