CHAPITRE 1
Mother of the sisters sits on a stool and milks a goat. Finishes, takes a pot of milk, stands up, and goes to the exit.
NOTE: THE RUKOSUEV SISTERS: EVLAMPIYA IS SMALL AND SLIM (20), AKAKIYA IS MEDIUM HEIGHT AND FULL (18), AND CHRISTODOULA IS TALL AND SLIM (16). THE CABIN HAS A KITCHEN AND A BEDROOM. THE FATHER IS SLEEPING IN THE KITCHEN, WHILE THE MOTHER AND DAUGHTERS ARE IN THE BEDROOM..
In the yard of a private cabin, in the center stands a beat-up Moskvich 408. On one side sits the barn and on the other side the residential house. FATHER OF SISTERS steps onto the porch. A little dog is dozing on one of the steps. The father stretches, takes a step, and steps on the dog. The dog yelps and jumps up in surprise. The father loses his balance and falls on his back. The little dog runs off without looking back and collides with MOTHER OF SISTERS, who is carrying a liter jug of milk. MOTHER OF SISTERS stumbles over the dog, tosses the jug, and falls on her back. The jug flies through the open window into the sisters' bedroom..
In the bedroom, the three sisters are lying on their backs on one bed, fast asleep. The jug flies and spins, spilling milk around the room. The jug hits the wall with a bang. The sisters sit up abruptly and open their eyes.
ANNOUNCER
In the village of Kosyakovka, in the Middle Cheburechny district, three native sisters, with the surname Rukosuevy, live with their retired parents. The eldest is named Evlampiya, she is 20 years old, the middle one is Akakiya, she is 18, and the youngest is called CHRISTODOULA, she is 16.
The girls close their eyes and lay back down on the bed simultaneously. The father and mother struggle to get up and shake themselves off. The father sits in the driver's seat and starts the Moskvich. Suddenly, the sound of the engine revving appears, and the sisters once again sit up abruptly and open their eyes.
ANNOUNCER
They had an old paternal Moskvich 408 that roared like a tractor and often had to be started with a push. The car was older than all three of them, so they treated it with respect.
FATHER OF SISTERS
Oh? It started!
MOTHER OF SISTERS
Come on, you wretch, you're not letting our brides sleep?
The father pushes on the gas even harder. Then he suddenly turns off the engine.
