It's so hot.
1:01:09
And summer's barely begun.
1:01:10
Can you swim?
1:01:12
No.
1:01:13
And you?
1:01:14
Yes, I'll show you some day.
1:01:16
Great.
1:01:17
If I fall in...
1:01:19
you can save me then?
1:01:20
You bet...
1:01:21
though you're a bit big for me so
I'll have to work out a bit first.

1:01:24
Every day, in Shisha Lake.
1:01:26
What about school?
1:01:27
When I finish with exams, we...
1:01:28
Put it over there.
1:01:29
Yeah, we can go there together.
1:01:35
Stand there, don't move.
1:01:40
OK.
1:01:41
What are you studying?
1:01:43
Studying?
1:01:45
Dunno..
1:01:47
I mean, how to make wine...
1:01:50
and, uh, violins...
1:01:51
sesame paste, stuff like that.
1:01:54
Where do you learn those silly things?
1:01:56
From the workers and peasants!
1:01:57
We worked for a month
in the wine factory,

1:02:00
got into a big fight there,
1:02:02
200 of them,
1:02:03
but we won,
1:02:05
and now we always carry
cleavers in our bookbags.

1:02:07
This older kid was begging for mercy,
1:02:09
but we slashed him up anyway.
1:02:12
Really?
1:02:14
So what do they test you on?
1:02:16
Wine-making or fighting?
1:02:19
Sit down.
1:02:20
You kidding?
1:02:21
We were only there one month.
1:02:23
the rest of the time
we're in the classroom.

1:02:25
I like reading.
1:02:27
What sort of books do you like?
1:02:29
How Steel Is Tempered,
1:02:31
Gadfly,
1:02:33
The Song of Youth, Bitter
Blossoms, that sort of thing.

1:02:38
Do you like the heroine Dunya?
1:02:39
I like Pavel,
1:02:40
but I like Dunya too.
1:02:41
Pity how she changed ...
1:02:43
and became bourgeois.
1:02:45
Have you finished all those books? No.
1:02:47
Why not?
1:02:48
They're just old books
without beginning or end.

1:02:52
What about "200 Songs"? You read that?
1:02:54
Of course!
1:02:56
200 Folk Songs from Abroad.
1:02:59
It's a songbook.
