Comrade General,
instead of my decoration,
:09:07
could I go home to see my mother?
:09:16
- How old are you?
- Nineteen.
:09:19
When I was leaving, I didn't have time
to say good-bye to my mother.
:09:22
And I just got a letter from her.
The roof is leaking.
:09:26
Please let me go, Comrade General.
:09:31
We'd all like to go home, Skvortsov,
:09:33
but we can't leave the front.
:09:36
This is war and we're all soldiers.
:09:41
I wouldn't have asked you
:09:43
if we weren't all taking a rest now.
:09:46
I just need one day,
Comrade General.
:09:48
I'll fix the roof
and come right back.
:09:56
Well, should we let Skvortsov
go home?
:10:00
Let him fix the roof?
:10:03
Just make sure you're back on time!
:10:05
Well, I... Comrade General...
I'll do whatever it takes!
:10:09
Sit down.
:10:11
You're pretty lucky, Skvortsov.
:10:14
Where are you going?
:10:16
To Georgievsk, the village of Sosnovka.
:10:18
I could be there by tomorrow.
- No, my friend.
:10:20
The way things are going nowadays,
a day won't be enough.
:10:24
I'll give you two days to get there
and two to get back.
:10:29
And two to fix the roof.
:10:32
Satisfied?
:10:35
Comrade General.
:10:40
Can I go now?
- Go!
:10:43
Just make sure you're back on time.
- Yes, Comrade General!
