Tangerines (Mandariinid) (Mandariinid)

Estonian villages were formed in Abkhazia in the second half of the 19th century.

Georgian - Abkhasian war, which started in 1992, altered the peaceful life of the estonian inhabitants. Most of them decided to return to their historic homeland.

Their villages turned empty, only a few people remained.

Who are you? - What?

Come outside!

I'm asking, who are you? - Me? Ivo, but who are you?

Are you alone here? - I am.

Are you russian? - No, an estonian.

What is an estonian doing here? - This is my workshop.

What are these boxes for? For explosives?

No, for tangerines (mandarynki).

If for tangerines, then it's fine.

Okay. Do you have any food? We are hungry.

The food is in the house. There. - Come, let's go.

Hop in the car.

TANGERINES (mandarynki)

Who do you have at home? - Nobody, I live alone.

Step in, have a seat.

We will sit, grandfather, but pack the food, we are moving on. - Fine.

And don't be greedy.

Look, what a beautiful girl. - Yes, a beauty.

Where is your family? You have nobody?

They all went home after the war started.

Where to? - To Estonia.

And why did you stay?

I didn't want to leave.

Is this your daughter? - Granddaughter.

And don't say anything about her. Don't even think about it.

I didn't even plan to. Ibrahim.

What's that?

Food.

You are a nice man, grandfather. Sorry that you are so old.

I'm sorry that brave men like you get old.

What is happening out there? An intense war?

Yes, old man. You better leave to Estonia.

Not everyone will be as nice as us.

Does anyone live in these houses? - No, they're all empty.

There is only one guy living near the plantation.

But he only has tangerines (mandarynki). I'm helping him.

We don't care about tangerines.

But the box-making business you have here is fine. Well done!

Margus!

Margus!

Yes, wait!

Who were these guys? Caucasians, they wanted food.

They didn't visit me. - I know.

Did you get an agreement? - Yes.

They agreed to send on the 7th, 20 soldiers, for one day.

In one day we will not make it. Of course not.

We will pick as much as we can. I already started.

Very well, if we will continue in the same tempo, we will never get anything out of the fields.

In a few days there will probably be an intensive battle over here.

These caucasians said, that soon there will be war over here. - My army leader told the same.

I will make 10 boxes today, then there will be a total of 200, Do you think it will be enough?

Decide yourself. But I think we would need another 50.

Okay.

Don't kill yourself with the work, there are still 5 days until the 7th.

The faster, the better.

Margus!

Margus! - Yes.

You didn't get hit? - No, I didn't.

What happened here? - I don't know.

This car was driving in the front, the other one was following.

Shot the first car, which hit the fence. Now my fence is ruined.

I was climbing a tree. Hiding.

And then I saw someone shooting with some kind of a weapon, i think it was a Minomet.

We can go nuts here, what was it?

Okay, calm down.

He is wounded, go check what is in the van. And be careful!

Be calm...

What is there? - All of them dead.

So georgian dzighits, where are you? - Calm down.

How are things in heaven, you swines. - Enough!

You shouldn't yell, otherwise you might die.

Finally we were able to stop the bleeding.

But Ibrahim was killed? - Start the car.

These bastards killed him, yes? - Yes.

We are going to bury him now, but you try to calm down.

We are going to invite a doctor for you. Try to move less.

Be careful out there, grandpa, make sure there is nobody following you.

The georgian bastards might be after you.

Don't you worry, just lay there quietly.

Give me my machine gun. - Why? There will be nobody coming here.

Give me. Anything could happen. - I said there will be nobody.

Check the pockets, maybe you will find documents.

For what? Maybe the relatives will start to search for them,

then we can bring them to the grave.

You are right.

These georgians are still boys. Only this one is older.

Yes, still boys.

You know what? Let's bury these georgians separately.

And this one with the beard, separately farther here.

Then we will know who is where. - Okay.

This georgian is still alive.

Don't be afraid, it's us.

Who is this? Ibrahim? Still alive? - No, it's not Ibrahim.

Who then?

Bring water in a bowl. And a clean towel from the kitchen cupboard.

A piece of a bombshell is in his head.

Now we need Juhan, otherwise he is not going to survive.

The other one also needs a doctor.

Go fast and bring Juhan here. And the van needs to be cleaned up.

It's easier with three of us. - I have a good rope.

Wait!

Make sure he will keep his mouth shut. - To whom could he tell? Everyone is gone.

To his wife. - She is already in Estonia.

How are you?

Hurts? - It's fine.

Thanks to Allah, already less.

Who did you bring here?

One georgian. He is heavily wounded.

What? Are you crazy?

I'm going to kill him anyway. Your effort was for nothing.

Okay, forgive me, but they killed my friend.

And you didn't kill two of his? Or can't you count?

I should have killed three. Anyway, I will fix this.

You are nursing him for nothing. In vain.

How is he? - The chechen will be fine in a week.

But the georgian - I don't know. Everything depends on his organism.

What will happen to the piece of the bomb?

Make sure that the injections are done at right times. - Don't worry.

Why is he hallucinating all the time? - It's good that the is hallucinating.

Maybe then he will survive.

I will come back tomorrow, the same time.

How was it? - He ate a bit. Now he fell asleep.

Are we going? - Wait, I will lock the door to the georgian.

We can not be sure, what the other lunatic might do.

Let's drive. Sit behind the wheel.

Turn the wheel to the right. To the right!

Very well!

Okay - push, push.

I thought it's going to explode.

It explodes in the cinema. - The cinema is one big cheating.

How are you? - Not bad.

I finished 20 boxes. You can take them.

These wounded are ruining our business.

So what should I do now? Kill them?

Well I didn't mean that, i was just saying.

Don't complain.

How many did you pick? - All the boxes you brought yesterday are full.

Very good. Did you visit my place?

Yes, I brought the key. - Why didn't you leave it under the stairs?

What if someone would find it? - Who would start looking for the key?

If they want, they will just kick in the door.

How are they? - Chechen is well.

He ate all the food. Seems that he is healing.

But the georgian?

Did you measure his temperature? - What's the point.

His head is really hot, hallucinating all the time.

Leave the key here.

Should I help you carry the boxes?

No need, I'm fine. Do your work.

I went to check the van. There is nothing visible from the road.

What were you thinking? - I will kill him anyway, grandpa.

Put him behind a thousand locks, I will pay back for my friend.

This is a holy thing for us, you will never understand.

To kill a person who is sleeping,

even if he is unconcious? This is holy for you as well?

I didn't know.

I will kill him, when he will start standing again.

Soon there will be rain.

There will not.

They will be here soon. - Who?

The georgians and russians.

And the tangerines will stay in the trees.

You know what this war is called?

The war of citrus. - What do you mean?

It's a war over my tangerines.

Be normal.

They are fighting for the land. - For the land where my tangerines grow.

You have gone crazy with your tangerines.

When the tangerines have been sold, I will go to Estonia - it is now a free land.

The georgian gained consciousness.

Thank you.

Thank you for everything.

Try to speak less.

I have a horrible headache. - Don't worry.

I'm going to make an injection and you will feel better.

So this pig woke up?

Who is this? - Don't mind. He is crazy.

I will kill him anyway, grandpa. - Listen to me!

In my house, nobody will kill anyone, if I don't want it.

But if you are still planning to do it, then you will have to kill me first.

Come on, grandpa. You saved my life. - You heard, what I said.

Okay. I will give my word, that I will not kill him in your house.

But as soon as he will leave, I will do it.

I'm hoping to see you in Estonia.

When are you leaving? - In the morning there will be a car picking me up.

Be careful. - Don't worry.

Half an hour to the airport, and from there already home.

God will guide me.

What are you doing here?

Sell the tangerines and come home.

Our previous life has ended. That's it, the end.

You know very well why I will stay here.

You better think about you granddaughter.

Mari is fine, I'm not worried about her.

Thank you, Juhan.

The medicine is in the drawer. I left a note how to administer it.

Be strong.
