To the Lake (Эпидемия)

Caution.

Tosh, be careful.

Look, there's another one.

Where to next?

The same... -Do you know where to go next?

A?

Let's go, let's go.

What, are you out? Phew...

-Baby. It's all wet. -Finally.

Feet need to warm. Come on, come on, come here.

My legs are going to fall off...

What's up, Misha?

What's that?

-Is that blood? -Where?

Leon, it's blood!

It's too bad, it's too bad, we gotta get out of here, what are you doing?

Okay, look, there's blood here too.

There's something on it.

It's a pagan temple.

Look, a village.

-Nastia! -Marina!

Stop. Stop!

Nastya.

Stop, stop, stop, stop. Shh, shh, shh.

Shh, shh, shh. Quiet!

Marin, come on, man! Leave her alone already.

It's clear she's from around here. -What? -What's clear, Lyon?

Maybe she was tortured here! -Shh, shh, shh.

We got to get out of here. -Where to go?

There's nothing but swamps around here. It's night, we're all wet, we have nothing.

No food, no water, no fire. With one bullet in the machine gun.

Evening in the hut.

The girl's not yours?

We're in the middle of nowhere. The swamps around here are impassable. We don't get visitors.

Where are you from? -From Moscow.

You're from around here, aren't you?

Yeah, we're from all over Russia.

And the kids were already born here.

-And Nastya? -Yes.

Nastenka ran away. Her mother, Olga, died.

They took her by the river to Navia, and Nastya did not speak anymore because of grief.

А... By the river, you mean? -That's how we bury.

Who's "you"?

We, that's Oira. That's the name of the village.

Means "Glory to the sun." -What did Nastya's mom die of?

Gods decided that.

Appendicitis probably.

Probably...

Have you eaten?

-Yes. Thank you very much. -What, we should probably go now, right?

Yes.

You can't go around pissing off the dead on this night.

-М... The dead? -Today the grandfathers.

The ancestors have come back to earth and are looking for the home of their kind.

There are candles on the windows to find the way.

There's candles in the windows to find the way.

-Mm-hmm. -And seats for them at the table.

Elysius, give me a hand with the pie.

Glasses appeared in Russia in the 17th century.

What century are you reconstructing? -I don't know.

-Mica. It has to be mica.

Well, thank you. We'll probably be on our way now.

Stay till morning, we'll make a bed for you on the benches.

-You have... You got such a big family. Why should we burden you -why should we burden you?

Come on, let's go, let's go. -You'll sleep under a tree in the woods,

with the kids?

We...

-Len, I'm already exhausted... -We'll see you in the morning if we can.

...we'll stay with you. Thank you.

You're a lifesaver, you might say.

You're welcome.

Except... you can't bring a gun in here.

Come on, I'll clean it up. Come on, come on, come on.

Your dead may come today, too. How many of them (spoons I'll put in)?

None.

Excuse me.

I just choked. -But we're healthy,

We just don't look good. -Yeah, we've just been a couple of months.

living in a wreck. There's no people there at all, so we got the virus

definitely can't be, don't be afraid.

What kind of virus?

Don't you know?

-Oh, we're a wild wind, -We are evil.

Give up our good, You take up your evil.

Sun, hear us, call our grandfathers.

Bring our song to the unborn hearts.

Let their hearts remember Who was their father.

Sun, hear us, call our grandfathers.

Bring our song to the unborn hearts.

Let those hearts remember Who was their father.

Sun, hear us, call our grandfathers.

Hear. Come on up.

Gorislav, come on, follow me.

Hello.

What's up, fellas?

We are... guests of Elisha, if anything.

-Let's go. -Where are we going? -Hurry up, let's go.

-Where are you gonna take us? -Go ahead.

Where to go?

-To the party. -Why?

We'll sacrifice you to Horse.

Follow me.

Is it normal at all, a penis in the middle of the yard?

Falic symbols were present in all ancient pagan cults.

They all seem to be crazy here.

Listen, Oira. These people came to our house last night.

Nastya, Olga's daughter, was with them. They saved her in the woods.

The gods guided them through our swamps.

What for? They're bringing us a message.

Tell me.

Anyway... the disease is really bad.

We were driving all the way from Moscow. There are dead bodies along the road...

There's no cure. A man just... burns up in two days.

Here, he starts coughing up blood and his pupils are white.

It's an epidemic.

Well, if anyone else doubted that the gods of Oira's kin were guarding,

here's your answer.

What are we going to do with these newcomers? Do we keep them or chase them away?

Quiet!

Let's hear what the gods have to say.

Are they gonna cut him or what?

Gods say the pestilence won't come to Oira!

They say that Chernobog sent this pestilence on Russians.

For they forgot their ancient faith!

He who does not leave Oira shall be left alive by Hore!

And who goes away, dies!

And what do the gods say about the newcomers?

- Quiet.

The newcomers.

The gods have said that these strangers are a blessing from the gods to us.

Hore wants to open our eyes through them.

As long as we're in a flood, stay.

Oira to you. (all) -Oira! Oira! Oira! Oira!

Let's get it right.

-Op, on me. -To you. -Yeah.

Listen, you're good, of course.

Back to the roots, back to the roots.

I never thought of that.

Now I'm looking... what a blessing it is, huh.

-We're about to celebrate -the birth of Perun.

The beast must be hunted in a special way. All the men are going hunting.

You'd do well, too.

Well, hunting, that's my thing. Who are you going for?

Let's get the Sekach!

-O. -Can you do it with a spear?

I don't think I can with a spear. Look, well, I can pretty much do it in the corral.

Fine.

Deal. -Thank you, Elisha.

No, well, of course, the toughest one, that was Gypsy.

I remember I got so wasted on Scriptonite there, I got taken to the ambulance later.

and they took me away, you know.

And I... I was in Moscow once, just passing through,

when we were on our way here. It took us five days to get here from Nizhny Novgorod.

I didn't like Moscow at all. -What about you, Velik? Where are you from?

I'm Velislav.

Listen, Velislav, come on, move it, move it out of here.

Guys, look what I found! -Oh! -What, did you steal from grandpa?

Man, I've been to Moscow too. But a long time ago, when I was little,

but I loved it.

Well, what's the deal with Moscow?

Zlatka, what's going on over there?

Oh, yeah... Sunburn.

The sun? What do you mean?

Yes...

-Polina, what else were you doing in Moscow? -Nothing. I was drinking, then I was getting better,

then I drank again.

-I've been looking for you. -М. Mishka, come on in, sit down here.

What'd you do?

Were you out walking in the woods? -Yeah, I was just taking a walk...

What do you drink? -Honeycomb. Would you like some?

-Thank you. -Don't drink it, you'll turn into a goat.

Misha, you're risking it. -Hey, Misha, Misha!

Don't be greedy, you hear? You leave us some more!

-Come on. -Misha, what did you lose in the woods?

You really go out there every day? What for?

-He's probably out there fucking squirrels. -You just finish it.

That's actually my husband, in case you forgot, yeah.

And it doesn't mean anything in Oire.

We are on the day of the birth of Perun... For the year we are looking for new husbands and wives,

and he's about to. -Hands off.

Then what?

-or I'll knock your teeth out, bitch. -That's a transition.

Your mother's a bitch, okay?

Aah!

Get away from him! Get the fuck away from him!

Get away... Misha, Misha... His mother died recently. -burned to death.

Misha. Misha, can you hear me? Misha, get up, let's go.

Come with me. Come with me. -I didn't know.

I'm sorry. Let's make up.

Mih, I'm sorry.

How do you... I know what you mean, my brother recently...

Mish.

No, no, Serj-Serj-Serj, not with that tool. Look.

This we take. Here's an oblique knife, it's sharpened on both sides.

-Yeah. -And you can go anywhere with it.

Go ahead, try it. -Yeah.

Gently.

Where are you going, Sergei? -Ouch!

Well, from yourself.

We got two more carpels to finish today, bloody hell,
