00:00:01,601 --> 00:00:03,901
If You Don't Like - Don't Listen

3
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,500
Based on the tales of Stepan Pisakhov

4
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,080
Of our Arkhangelsk region,
so much untruth and silliness is told,

5
00:00:13,350 --> 00:00:16,980
that I've resolved to tell
everything as it is in these parts;

6
00:00:17,181 --> 00:00:18,801
the whole simple truth.

7
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,300
Whatever I say,
it's all true.

8
00:00:23,090 --> 00:00:24,970
Eternal Icebergs

9
00:00:26,500 --> 00:00:27,170
For example,

10
00:00:27,470 --> 00:00:29,570
our river Dvina at its narrow point,

11
00:00:29,570 --> 00:00:30,770
is 20 miles wide.

12
00:00:31,780 --> 00:00:32,980
And at its wide point,

13
00:00:32,980 --> 00:00:33,980
wider than the sea.

14
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,700
People travel on it
on Eternal Icebergs.

15
00:00:37,500 --> 00:00:39,700
We even have Icebergers;

16
00:00:40,700 --> 00:00:43,700
people who make their living
doing the ice business.

17
00:00:44,900 --> 00:00:47,300
They transport icebergs from the
sea and rent them out.

18
00:00:47,700 --> 00:00:49,100
To those who want them.

19
00:00:57,700 --> 00:00:58,700
Eternal Iceberg

20
00:01:18,300 --> 00:01:23,700
In Old Times, engaged girls got an
Eternal Iceberg for their dowry.

21
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,500
And also a fox fur overcoat.

22
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,700
So that she'd have a way and
a dress to visit guests across the river.

23
00:01:34,700 --> 00:01:37,700
Eternal Love

24
00:01:40,701 --> 00:01:42,201
Peace and Love

25
00:01:50,700 --> 00:01:53,250
-In the summer we get many visitors.
"Eternal Iceberg Rentals"

26
00:01:53,500 --> 00:01:56,430
They'd come to the Iceberger
and start bargaining,

27
00:01:56,530 --> 00:02:00,530
wanting the nicest of icebergs
for just 3 kopeks per person!

28
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,530
Even riding a tram in those
years cost 15 kopeks a head.

29
00:02:04,530 --> 00:02:07,900
But the Iceberger said, sure;
he agreed outwardly,

30
00:02:07,900 --> 00:02:12,240
and slipped him a spoiled,
old, rotting iceberg

31
00:02:12,250 --> 00:02:14,200
just barely alive.

32
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,200
Here's your thrift item!

33
00:02:34,900 --> 00:02:37,200
That's how it was!

34
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,200
About the Bear

35
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,900
In our parts, polar bears
sell milk on the street.

36
00:02:45,700 --> 00:02:47,100
They're trained for it.

37
00:02:47,300 --> 00:02:50,200
Polar bear cubs sell sunflower seeds,

38
00:02:51,700 --> 00:02:54,210
and produce hand-rolled cigarettes.

39
00:02:54,700 --> 00:02:56,600
Various birds chirp

40
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,100
arctic owls, geese, swans...

41
00:02:59,100 --> 00:03:00,200
northern eagles,

42
00:03:00,700 --> 00:03:01,900
penguins.

43
00:03:02,700 --> 00:03:05,900
Penguins, though they don't live
here, come to make money.

44
00:03:07,700 --> 00:03:10,700
They use street organs, hand drums...

45
00:03:13,700 --> 00:03:17,700
But brown bears are strictly
forbidden from entering.

46
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,000
Because it's the north, after all.

47
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,000
"No Entry for Brown Bears!"

48
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,400
One time a carriage was carrying a
flour bag and dropped it in the woods.

49
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:29,400
A bear found it.

50
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,400
He rolled in the flour, and
became like a white bear.

51
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:36,400
Daddy!

52
00:03:37,500 --> 00:03:41,400
To the market he went,
to sell seeds and Kvass.

53
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:44,400
Daddy!

54
00:03:57,110 --> 00:04:00,410
They recognized him, of course;
his real self showed through!

55
00:04:08,110 --> 00:04:09,410
Daddy!

56
00:04:17,710 --> 00:04:18,710
No Entry for Brown Bears!

57
00:04:20,310 --> 00:04:26,750
Our folk is kind. They gave him some
sliced dried apples, a stone of sugar,

58
00:04:26,950 --> 00:04:29,950
and told him to come back
sometime for his wheelbarrow.

59
00:04:32,850 --> 00:04:35,150
Frozen Songs

60
00:04:35,750 --> 00:04:38,450
In the summer, it never goes dark.

61
00:04:39,100 --> 00:04:40,550
We don't sleep.

62
00:04:40,550 --> 00:04:42,550
In the day we work,

63
00:04:42,550 --> 00:04:43,850
at night we go out.

64
00:04:44,550 --> 00:04:47,550
We have races with the reindeer!

65
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,540
And in the fall we get ready for winter.

66
00:05:04,550 --> 00:05:06,080
We dry the northern lights.

67
00:05:06,900 --> 00:05:09,450
At first, after all, it doesn't
shine that brightly.

68
00:05:09,750 --> 00:05:12,000
We yank it down, and
hang it in bundles.

69
00:05:12,500 --> 00:05:15,000
and it hangs, not
drying out or ageing.

70
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,400
and at wintertime we'll
take the northern lights,

71
00:05:18,700 --> 00:05:21,700
soak it in warm water, and ignite it.

72
00:05:23,100 --> 00:05:27,600
It shines brightly, cleans
the air, and smells good.

73
00:05:30,300 --> 00:05:34,900
In Old Times, temperatures reached -200, -300

74
00:05:35,550 --> 00:05:38,260
In my memory, they even reached -500.

75
00:05:39,460 --> 00:05:42,660
In that frost, any word which
leaves a mouth freezes.

76
00:05:43,900 --> 00:05:48,860
Every word has its own
look, colour, light...

77
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:54,260
Women would make knitted lace from
the songs, and various pretty things.

78
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,360
They'd hang them in front of the house,

79
00:05:57,660 --> 00:06:00,660
putting the best words
on the roof crest

80
00:06:01,260 --> 00:06:03,660
and funny poems on the sides.

81
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,660
No place was more adorned
than our village Uyma.

82
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,360
One time an overseas
merchant walked by,

83
00:06:17,370 --> 00:06:20,270
and saw the decorations; the frozen songs.

84
00:06:26,500 --> 00:06:31,270
What a wonderfull,
interesting, wild oddity!

85
00:06:33,650 --> 00:06:35,270
VERY GOOD

86
00:06:35,770 --> 00:06:36,770
FROZEN SONGS

87
00:06:36,770 --> 00:06:39,400
and the stranger decided
to order some songs.

88
00:06:39,950 --> 00:06:43,400
to bring to his own country
for listening and marvelling.

89
00:06:46,900 --> 00:06:47,900
WE AGREE

90
00:06:47,900 --> 00:06:48,900
WE WILL SING

91
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:56,800
Our daughters, mothers, grandmothers,
those who have a voice,

92
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,500
all started singing songs,

93
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:00,700
freezing them.

94
00:07:01,300 --> 00:07:05,000
Songs don't hurt work; they can be
sung while the job's being done

95
00:07:05,500 --> 00:07:06,700
and they bring profit.

96
00:07:17,401 --> 00:07:19,401
SING

97
00:07:32,500 --> 00:07:35,100
They put the songs into special boxes

98
00:07:35,100 --> 00:07:38,400
and marked where's the front and the back

99
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,300
so that they wouldn't be played back to front.

100
00:07:41,500 --> 00:07:43,600
Some big heaps were sung.

101
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,900
In the spring, they sent them over on steamships.

102
00:07:52,410 --> 00:07:54,310
They were brought to a foreign country.

103
00:07:55,010 --> 00:07:56,320
Everyone was curious,

104
00:07:56,330 --> 00:07:59,530
what are these frozen songs from Arkhangelsk?

105
00:08:00,430 --> 00:08:03,330
The theatre was filled to the brim!

106
00:08:17,130 --> 00:08:22,000
A swan is swimming.

107
00:08:29,300 --> 00:08:32,000
My white swan.

108
00:08:38,100 --> 00:08:42,900
A soul is singing.

109
00:08:43,500 --> 00:08:47,500
A fair maiden is singing

110
00:08:49,500 --> 00:08:53,100
with her fair soul.

111
00:09:06,900 --> 00:09:11,200
Though the foreigners don't
understand our tongue,

112
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,700
they understood the beauty of our songs.

113
00:09:20,401 --> 00:09:21,601
Screenplay
G. Sapgir, L. Nosyrev

114
00:09:21,602 --> 00:09:22,802

115
00:09:22,803 --> 00:09:24,003
Art director
V. Kudryavtseva

116
00:09:24,004 --> 00:09:25,204
Composer
Y. Botyarov

117
00:09:25,501 --> 00:09:27,701
This is no fairy tale, you know.

118
00:09:28,502 --> 00:09:30,302
It's the cold, hard
truth in these parts.

119
00:09:30,403 --> 00:09:33,003
Learned, versed people are everywhere.

120
00:09:33,754 --> 00:09:35,304
They won't let a lie go by.

121
00:09:36,105 --> 00:09:37,805
So that's what we call it:

122
00:09:38,406 --> 00:09:40,006
"If you don't like - don't listen"

123
00:09:40,507 --> 00:09:41,807
Ensemble of folk music led by
Dmitriy Pokrovskiy

124
00:09:41,908 --> 00:09:42,808
The End
