SVABODA

A man in a dark suit and tie stands beside another man who is being draped with a Russian flag; the man receiving the flag smiles and then holds up a small card while the man in the suit looks on. The scene cuts to a man on a ship with his mouth open in a yell, followed by a man in a captain's hat holding a whip, then back to the man on the ship yelling with wide eyes. The setting shifts from an indoor formal room to a ship at sea.
