Overview: In this scene a 10-year boy climbs up the tower as part of his boyish entertainment. By accident, he witnesses the love scene between the Queen and her brother. The Queen, a married woman, is scared to death and orders her brother to kill the little boy. The brother obeys and heartlessly pushes the boy off the tall tower condemning him to certain death.
Review: The scene starts from the boy's perspective: he is peering at the couple kissing and caressing each other. I few seconds later, the Queen notices the child and the fear reigns the room. The boy's eyes are wide open ( glaza po 5 kopeek). His fear is well pronounced as the camera shows us a close-up of his face at 0:05. The tension grows as now everyone in the room is obsessed with fear. Yet, they have different reasons to be afraid: the Queen is scared of her reputation, the little boy fears for his life.
At one point at 0:17, the viewer holds their breath being infected with fear when the boy slips off the window sill and almost falls down. Yet, the Queen's brother catches him. At 0:25 the viewer gets an idea of the height of the tower, when the camera looks down on the ground just to see a tiny dog (who is a big wolf in reality). Our fear is growing since we realize that if the boy is pushed down, he will most certainly die or be severely injured. When the boy tells them that he is only 10, the Queens signs as if in sorrow. However, a second later (0:45) her brother pushes the boy off the window not even looking at him. The brother utters, "The things I do for love."
His words remind me of Tertz's idea of Aim/ Goal/ Purpose that each person and each subject had in the Communist ideology. The totalitarian regime justified numerous murders in the name of the bright future. Here, we have a similar situation when the innocent boy falls the victim of the adults Goal to keep their perverted relationships in secret.
