1:32:01
That was a long time ago.
Everything's changed since then.
1:32:07
You say here
that you play at night?
1:32:10
No, only during the day now.
1:32:13
- Where does the boy sleep?
- Over there.
1:32:21
He doesn't have his own bed?
Or room?
1:32:25
No, but there's
enough room--
1:32:30
So it's the boy's birthday?
1:32:35
Not really. I don't have his papers
so I decided it would be today.
1:32:40
-[ Kolya Plucking Violin Strings ]
- You decided?
1:32:42
Please, Ms. Zubata,
I wrote that...
1:32:44
- when I wasn't coping very well.
-[ Strumming Violin ]
1:32:48
The boy is Russian?
1:32:51
[ Sighs ]
Not now, dear.
1:32:53
He understands Czech
pretty well now.
1:32:57
His mother went to the West
and shows no interest in the boy.
1:33:01
That's not true.
She's applied to the Red Cross.
1:33:06
- Look, Mr. Lucina.
- Louka.
1:33:09
Even though
the boy's mother...
1:33:12
gained Czech nationality
by marriage,
1:33:16
she is still Russian.
1:33:20
So the Soviet authorities still
have an interest in this child.
1:33:25
The matter may be well
taken out of our hands.
1:33:30
They'll probably put him
in a home in the Soviet Union.
1:33:33
That's how I see it.
1:33:36
Look, Ms. Zubata,
1:33:39
that letter of mine...
couldn't it be canceled?
1:33:43
Why? They'll take care of the boy.
1:33:48
- I'll be back, Mr. Lucina.
- Louka.
1:33:53
Next time,
1:33:56
I'll bring someone
from the Soviet Embassy...
