BE GRATEFUL TO GOD, AS HE IS THE KINDEST
..:: Presented By ZarFilm Website ::.. ‏.:: www.bolboljan.net ::.
Come in, come in.
Go sit there.
Go on.
Sit down.
Don't you dare turn around.
You naughty boys.
Does your hand hurt?
You're looking out the window? Turn and face the wall.
Come in.
How are you?
Take a seat.
Hello, how are you?
Go take a seat.
Come in, come in.
Hello. Please stay seated.
I'm well, thank you.
Please have a seat.
What did they do?
They were playing football and got all dirty.
Little devils.
They wouldn't stop.
Come in, come in.
Take a seat.
How are you?
Hello.
How is your wife?
Hello, take a seat.
Hello.
Take a seat.
Let's close the blinds.
And the door.
Don't make a sound.
Good afternoon, brothers and sisters.
How are you today?
I'm fine, thank you.
Today we're going to talk about an important subject.
And we'll share valuable insights with each other.
Let's begin our conversation
with a seemingly simple story,
told in the Bible.
We all know who Abraham is, right?
What do you think Abraham is doing in this picture?
Does he really intend to kill Isaac, his only son?
What does the Bible say?
The Bible says…
"Abraham built an altar and arranged the wood on it."
"He bound his son Isaac hand and foot
"and put him on the altar on top of the wood."
"Then Abraham reached out his hand
"and took the knife
"to kill his son."
"He raised his knife…"
"..and waited."
"But Jehovah's angel called from the heavens and said,
"'Abraham!'"
"'Here I am!'
"answered Abraham.
"'Do not harm the boy…'"
"'..and do nothing to him…
"'for now I know that you are God-fearing…'"
"'..because you have not withheld
"'your only son
"'from God.'"
What is the moral of this story?
What does the Bible teach us?
Why did Jehovah ask Abraham
to sacrifice
his only son?
Who would like to answer?
Sister Lena,
since you raised your hand…
Jehovah wanted to test Abraham,
to make his faith…
- Stronger, right? - Yes, stronger.
That's right,
thank you.
You may sit down.
Now, building on this story,
how should a true Christian behave in everyday life?
Do any of you…
Don't panic!
Keep the children away from the window!
Stay inside! Don't go out!
Don't panic.
Calm down!
Stay calm! We'll get out!
We need air in here!
Somebody break down the door!
Giorgi.
Giorgi!
Come.
Come!
What's going on here?
There's a fire.
- What? - There's a fire.
No kidding.
- Leave it open. - Just for tonight.
It's stifling in here.
They were caught on the security cameras.
A detective came over from Tbilisi. He told me to delete the footage.
What a nerve.
What if you don't do it?
He told me to lie low.
Apparently, we bother the people around here.
The hell with it.
Let's go to bed.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
Did you see their faces on the footage?
David?
What?
Ask for a transfer.
Where to?
The police won't do anything.
They "won't find them".
It's a bit late tonight, no?
I tell you what - let's get a good night's sleep.
First thing tomorrow, we'll run away.
Giorgi has no friends.
I'm uncomfortable going out.
What do you mean? You grew up here!
I'm fed up, too.
I have to solve this first, I have no choice.
Then we'll decide.
Come in. Come in.
Can't get to sleep?
Come, sneak into bed.
Hurry up.
You spoil him.
Come on, get in.
If you go on like this, he'll never become a man.
He's scared.
I understand, but how can he ever grow up?
When I was his age, I was running on the rooftops.
Let's get you a kitten.
So you leave him alone.
Come on, don't be angry.
I'm not.
Then come to me.
Come on.
Come, my kitty.
Can't you act like a normal person and just tell me what you want?
We agreed on this.
I didn't agree.
You said you needed seven years…
..for your career. I did as you asked.
Every time something happens, you say the same thing,
"That's it, we're moving. That's it, we're moving."
It's a perfect time for your little show.
Go ahead.
I have an awful headache.
Take this.
Give me time.
I need to think.
I'll find a solution.
When we met,
you knew what kind of man I was,
my ambitions, my plans.
You wanted to be with me, right?
Yes…
I did.
There you go.
What's your plan?
Yana, what do you think?
I'll get up early tomorrow and calculate the costs.
In a month, we'll have a new prayer house.
At the congress, I'll try to convince the elders to help.
Go by yourself.
No.
I want to be alone.
They expect us to come as a family.
I won't go alone.
Come with me.
You will rest, meet people…
Meet people!
While you discuss your construction plans
I'll stay in the hotel room.
Who's forcing you to stay in the room?
I want to be alone.
Then be alone at the hotel.
Please.
Why do you do this?
Can't you support me like a normal person?
One week.
You're determined to ruin me, aren't you?
You can't help yourself.
You've mastered that.
I can't go on like this.
Life goes by…
as if I weren't there.
You need something to do.
Let's find you a job.
I don't know.
Then what do you know?
You knew you couldn't be an actress and my wife at the same time.
That's not it.
Then what is it?
Tell me exactly.
Something's wrong with me.
It's as if I were waiting…
..for something to start, or to end.
You're overreacting.
You're a very emotional person, you know that.
Especially under stress.
Come with me and rest.
You don't believe me.
I look into the mirror and a stranger looks back.
Please don't start this.
I can't handle it.
If you want to talk to someone…
Counseling or therapy, whatever…
It's not a problem, I'll help you find someone.
But let's keep it between us.
All I need from you now
is your support.
All right?
Nini,
what do you ask Jehovah for?
To make me a good child.
What does it take to be good?
I have to behave well.
What else?
Nika, what do you think?
You have to behave well and do what God
or your mum and dad tell you.
Good. That's right.
Here's another question -
how can we protect ourselves from evil?
We shouldn't give in to evil out of fear
and stay on God's path.
Correct. The Bible says Satan can take the form of light,
the form of the Angel of Light,
and trick us into doing what God dislikes.
Yes, you're right.
And we should pray.
You're good kids. Now, on page 9.
Saba, little Saba!
Read, please.
"I am the Lord thy God…"
Wait a minute! Let him read!
"And you shall…"
"And you shall have no other…"
Elene, why is that funny?
"Before me…"
Just a minute!
I really want to know, what's so funny?
Is this how you want to prepare for your baptism?
- Yes. - No.
Who said yes?
Nini.
Enough. close your books and leave them on the table.
Good job!
You can go home now.
Be careful crossing the street.
What was that all about, can you explain?
Nothing, I swear on your life!
I told you never to swear on my life.
You promised to take me to the toy store.
Not yet.
Come.
Why did we get off the bus?
I'd like to walk a bit.
Come, follow me.
Stay close to me.
Don't fall behind.
Walk close to me.
I can't put it together. Help me.
You can do it.
You're a big boy.
It's not coming together.
Why not?
It's missing a piece.
Let's do it in the morning.
Come sit with me for a while.
Please, let's finish it and play once.
No, it's late.
You need to shower.
No, please.
You want to go to sleep all dirty like a piglet?
I'm not dirty.
That's enough. Let's go.
Come, sweetheart.
Is your husband at home?
No.
I'm from the police department.
I'd like to talk to you.
What about?
I just have a few questions regarding the fire.
Can I come in?
Come in.
This way, please.
Are you reading this?
No.
I'm preparing children for baptism.
Really?
Do the kids enjoy it?
I can give you my husband's phone number.
I have it.
Why don't you call him, then?
I want to talk to you.
Did you watch the footage?
What footage?
From the security cameras.
No.
Your husband…
is a stubborn man, isn't he?
I don't interfere with his business.
What is his business?
He's busy building a prayer house.
It is pointless to talk. No-one will be arrested.
This is not the first incident.
The local police know who they are, but no-one is ever arrested.
Do you know… who they are?
No.
I didn't see them.
Do you suspect anyone?
I can't point fingers like that.
But we can't live like this.
I can't let my son go out.
Why? Did something happen?
No, but it might.
Isn't your husband concerned about this?
Of course he is.
Look, you are a believer.
They have their own faith.
Trust me, we can find an arrangement.
You also need to understand them.
Please, ask your husband to withdraw the complaint.
He makes his own decisions.
Of course.
But if I were you…
..I'd use my charms to convince him.
Do you like living here?
Yes, we do.
You've got a really nice place.
Your own little paradise.
I envy you.
Does your husband fuck you on that couch?
Don't look at me as if you were a virgin.
Does he fuck you?
If you don't leave right now…
What if I don't?
Will you sit next to me?
No.
Why not?
You think I'll hurt you?
Why would you?
Do I need a reason?
What does your husband like best?
What do you want from me?
You know what?
Let's play a game.
I'll ask questions, you answer yes or no.
You can add details if you wish.
Does he fuck you on this couch?
- No. - Lie.
Tell me the truth and I'll go.
Does he fuck you on this couch?
Yes.
See?
We can share things with each other.
You're sick.
Please.
Don't pretend you're a frigid religious fanatic.
How many times a week does he fuck you?
What is this for?
You want to change the subject?
Fine.
Does he prefer blowjobs or fucking you in the ass?
Does he like blowjobs?
No.
Think again.
Does he like you to blow him?
Yes.
And you?
Do you like it too?
Yes.
Say it.
"I like to blow my husband."
I like to blow my husband.
He likes it too.
See? You're opening up.
What about your asshole?
Does he ever ask for that?
Yes, he does.
Are you scared of me?
Yes.
Come.
You know what I'm going to do?
No.
Anything I want.
It's so nice for two people just to sit together.
I'm sorry.
Yana, aren't you hungry?
Should we break for lunch?
I'm hungry.
Not yet.
Giorgi.
Are you hungry?
Mum, can I get this?
- No. - Please!
I said no. Behave yourself.
Come on.
Go play with the kids.
But don't go too far!
I wouldn't let him go.
You spoil him too much.
Who are those children?
I'll be right back.
Excuse me.
Good morning.
How can I help you?
Where do I get a ticket?
- What ticket? - For the queue.
Oh, that.
We don't use tickets. It's a live queue.
How else can I help you?
I'm looking for the detective.
Which detective?
He came from Tbilisi.
- When? - Two days ago.
Nobody came from Tbilisi.
Do you know his name?
- No. - What case is he on?
- Do you want to file a complaint? - No, thank you.
Is there anything else…?
No, thank you.
You're not reading.
Yes, I am.
No, you're not.
I am.
What's written on that page?
You lied to me.
I did not.
So, tell me what you just read.
The whole page?
Whatever you read.
It's about an old man taken to heaven by flying horses.
Flying horses?
What does your father say about children who lie?
God will punish me.
So?
But that's what it says.
Don't lie.
You're such a good boy.
I never lie to you.
You shouldn't lie to me either.
Horses can't fly.
Why do you think that?
I've never seen a horse fly.
Have you?
If it was Jehovah's will…
..do you think a horse could fly?
If it was Jehovah's will, then yes.
Jehovah can do anything, can't he?
Yes.
Please read this page.
Your father will test you when he comes back.
Can I go out first?
No, it's dangerous.
But everyone is outside.
We'll go out tomorrow.
- Please. - No.
Let's play a game.
Move over.
Sit up straight.
Close your eyes.
Imagine what you'd do if you went out.
I don't want to.
Close your eyes.
Dad lets me go out.
Don't be stubborn. Close your eyes.
Imagine what you'd do outside.
I'd play football.
- Who would you play with? - My friends.
What are your friends' names?
All right.
Who is the goalkeeper?
Me. It's always me.
Why is that?
The others don't want to.
All right.
What else do you do?
We chase dogs.
Dogs?
Yes, dogs from the neighbourhood.
Good. Open your eyes.
Mum.
Mum, wake up.
Did I scare you?
No.
I was just kidding. I'm alive.
Yana, come in.
Watch your step.
Come on.
What happened? Poor child.
He's sleepy.
Come, let's put you to bed.
Get in carefully.
Don't wake the baby.
Gently.
That's right.
How does it feel to be a mother?
I don't know yet.
What was the rush?
Are you still going to school?
No.
She's transferring to a technical school.
No, I'm not. I found a job.
Who'll take care of the baby?
Who would if I'm in school?
Does he eat well?
Yes.
Does his father help?
No.
He hasn't realised yet he has a child.
He hasn't even come to see him.
I'm going out for a while.
Don't you want to spend time with your sister?
Just for an hour, while you talk.
Be back in an hour.
Some guy was waiting outside.
I know.
But who cares what I think?
Why did you let her go?
What can I do?
I keep telling her she needs to study
so she can support herself.
But she doesn't listen.
She never did.
Now, I'm left with the baby.
Drink your coffee. It'll get cold.
Don't blow on it.
Make a wish.
Why?
So I can read your cup.
I don't want you to.
Your husband isn't watching.
Don't you want to know the future?
Won't you tell me what happened?
I don't know.
Please tell me.
Did you meet someone?
No.
You wouldn't tell me even if you did.
You and your sister are the same.
I didn't meet anyone.
Don't tell him.
There's no need.
Whatever it is…
..especially if it's not serious.
Your husband doesn't need to know.
Mum?
Why do we never talk about Dad?
What is there to talk about?
Was he that bad to you?
No.
But he was no angel either.
Why didn't you divorce him?
Life was different, back then.
Who would've married a second-hand woman with a child?
You know…
..when you were born, you confused day and night.
You would sleep all day and cry at night.
One night your father came back from work.
He was drunk and exhausted.
You wouldn't let him sleep.
So, he kicked me out with you.
It was February, it was snowing.
I carried you out…
..and sat down under that tree.
In five minutes, you were calm.
You were catching snowflakes with your mouth.
You liked it.
You fell asleep at the break of dawn.
I was so hurt by your father…
..I wept all night.
You enjoyed being outside.
You slept peacefully all day long.
Your father called you Sleeping Beauty.
Your father was not easy to live with.
But I never thought of divorcing him.
We tried to love each other as best we could.
Lie down.
No, I have to go.
Rest a bit.
I can't stay.
Next time can we go to Dad's grave?
Don't worry, it's me.
I'm so tired,
I could fall asleep right here and crush you.
You're heavy.
I know.
I've settled everything.
In a month, we'll have a new building.
Well done.
Did you rest well without me?
- What's the matter? - Nothing.
Didn't you miss me at all?
I did.
You're an awful person.
I love you.
I love you too.
Go back to sleep.
I'll check on Giorgi.
And you?
Do you like it too?
Yes.
Say it.
"I like to blow my husband."
I like to blow my husband.
He likes it too.
See? You're opening up.
What about your asshole?
Does he ever ask for that?
Yes, he does.
Are you scared of me?
Yes.
Come.
See? You're opening up.
What about your asshole?
Does he ever ask for that?
Yes, he does.
Are you scared of me?
Yes.
Come.
What is this?
Sit down.
Is there more to this?
I wanted to tell you.
Tell me.
He came here twice.
And?
He raped me.
What the fuck do you mean?
Tell me what happened.
What should I tell you?
How could you let him in?
It happened outside.
Where exactly?
What difference does it make?
I'm telling you he raped me.
What difference does it make?
Isn't this your voice on the recording?
Am I imagining things?
That's me.
And you call this rape?
Who were you when we met?
I created you, I dragged you out of your misery.
A lousy actress.
Is this how you thank me?
What if they send this to the elders?
Have me punished.
Punish you?
Tell me everything.
I'm listening.
Sorry, is this room occupied?
I'm waiting for the chief.
You were told to wait here?
Yes.
All right, wait, then.
You're meeting the chief at this hour?
Yes.
Are you sure he's coming back?
I don't know. I want to withdraw my case.
Which case?
A complaint.
All right, if you were told to wait here, then wait.
Let me out here.
Giorgi…
Want to get out, Giorgi?
Should I take your change of clothes?
Ready?
Yes.
Let's start the questions?
Nikusha, tell us what heaven is.
Heaven is…
a good place.
When you do good things,
things that God likes,
God lets you go there.
What happens there?
It's a place for good people.
Nobody can bring bad things there.
- What is hell? - Hell is
when you kill someone,
or if you rob someone,
that is hell.
God will punish you when you die.
God will punish you.
We should protect all living things, because when God tells us
not to misbehave…
When you die, there will be two doors,
one leads to hell, the other to heaven.
If you did good deeds, you go to heaven,
if bad deeds, then to hell.
Hell is when you burn in fire.
When bad things are done.
For example…
Those people…
I think…
Being alone.
What else?
And heaven?
I think it's a coffin.
- You think so? - A coffin.
Why?
I don't know.
Saba,
what happens to a human soul after death?
A human soul?
What is hell?
Hell is when you burn in fire.
Also…
What is heaven?
It's a place where people
who never sinned
or sinned only once go.
Only once?
Maybe three times.
No more.
- Have you sinned? - Yes.
For example?
Nothing serious.
Nothing big.
All right, children!
Go.
Send Anna.
Are you ready?
Ner vous?
Close your eyes.
Ready?
Close your eyes.
Grab your underwear first!
Fuck off!
It's mine!
Hey! Come with us!
Hey, girls, come on!
Yana, come with me for a moment.
Yana.
Is Giorgi asleep?
Yes.
They offered me a promotion.
A position at the head office.
When the building is done,
should we move to Tbilisi?
You could work in a dubbing studio with children.
David…
I want to forgive you.
You won't be able to.
Then what should we do?
Yana, nothing makes sense without you.
I just want us to start over.
That's what I want, too, David.
Wash your feet properly.
Both.
Show me your face.
Turn.
Here, drink this.
- I don't want it. - Drink it.
It's good, go ahead.
How come he went to bed so early?
I killed him.
Yana.
You missed it!
Alex! Don't fall behind!
