All language subtitles for a-birthday-to-remember-2003

The three most
important questions: -

Are you having sex? Do you have family?
Are you on the move?

Three times "Yes" is paradise.

You need "Yes" twice
for your happiness.

And once "yes" you
need to survive.

Sex: no.

Family: no.

Am I on the move? Maybe?

If I get in on the
right, I'm home.

If I get on the left,
I can see my family.

If I get in on the
right, I'm home.

If I get on the left,
I can see my family.

Young man on the phone: Hello?
Hello! This is Lena.

Where are you?
Is it rushing like that?

I'm on the train. And you?
In the car. I am driving home.

To Munich? No, to Hereankl.
Where are you?

I'm at the Steiningalm.
It's in the fog Is that true?

Does mom know you're coming?

No.

"The leaves are falling,
falling as if from far," -

- "as in the distant
heavens withered gardens."

"They fall with a
negative gesture" -

- "and in the nights
the heavy earth falls" -

- "from all the
stars into solitude."

"We all fall. This hand falls."

"And look at others.
It's in everyone."

"And yet there is
one who falls" -

- "holds infinitely
gently in his hands."

Your phone is ringing. Shit!

Hello?

I am in the train.

No, I'm not coming to Berlin.

Only in a few days. To Salzburg.

I can't do that now.
I'm sure it'll be finished by then. Bye

Who am I?

That doesn't exist! Lene!

Hi Papa!

There is no!

Where are you
from?! From Berlin.

Where are you sitting?
This is my place. I was only gone.

Come here!

And where do you come from?

From Munich. I got on
board in Rosenheim because...

I was before in Rosenheim.

That's nice! Come here!

I'm coming home.

To celebrate your birthday .

You are completely crazy.

How long have you been away?
Two years? Three?

Five! Five?

Are you always alone?

Tell me about Hierankl!
How are you?

Your roll.
The roll is getting old.

He doesn't see well anymore.
He sheds a lot of hair.

My good bread is whimpering.

You will soon see.

But Hereankl is wonderful.

The fruit trees are bearing.
The critters are outside.

But with the mom and me...

This kind of diverts.

Like two ocean giants
slowly drifting apart.

You can still see the other, but
you can't feel anything anymore.

But nothing is
better than nothing.

That could be Paul.

Hello! Look! A miracle!

That's a nice surprise! Yes.

I'm too very surprised.

How beautiful it is here!

Come here!

Is Paul there yet?
Does he know you're coming?

He'll be there soon.
Vincent is here.

Mr Vinzenz is here too!
Grüß Gott!

I wouldn't cuddle with him.
He's constantly licking his asshole.

bun! Is that true?

No, that's not true.

Look, that's Mr. Vinzenz!
There he goes now.

I need to see the house. Go on!
It's the same as before.

Even your room.

"I won't go home from today.
Mom slapped my face."

"And it would be nice
if she were dead...or I."

Who did they bury again today?

I don't know her.
But she was local.

It was very nice.
Who is this from: -

"We all fall.
That hand falls..."

"We all fall. That hand falls."
This is Rilke.

"And look at others."

"It's in everyone."

"And yet there is one," -

- "who holds this falling
infinitely gently in his hands.

Rilke.

How was it in Munich?

I'll tell you when
there's a snack. Come!

There is food
when Paul is there.

This is mine.

You're not from here.
Can you tell?

Yes, because you got lost here .

What makes you think that?

I know this.

Everything.

Does it taste good?

A car approaches.

Is that for you?

Rosie! The idol is here!

Let me down!

What are you saying now?!

Welcome! I wasn't expecting you.

Have you hidden him in the forest?
What's playing here?

I found him in the forest.

Lukas invited me to his
birthday. Already three months ago.

Why didn't you tell me not?

And you?

I gave it to myself
for my birthday.

I didn't know
that he was coming!

Horn. Paul!

This is Paulchen.
You don't know him either.

Goetz. - Vincent.

Who is this? The caretaker.

I'll tell you later.

Come on Paul! This is Götz Hildebrand.
An old college friend of ours.

I am Paul. - Goetz.

You remind me of someone.
Or? What?

To a French actor. Oh!

A handsome man. I do not remember.
Does not matter.

Are you staying for dinner?
No, all weekend.

Nice.

Look out!

Ow! Did you hurt yourself?

Don't. I'll do it.

I forgot about you .

How do you like the kids?

They don't look
like children at all.

You are way too big!

Why did you come, Götz?

Feeling.

No longer?

No.

Eat! Your best friend.
Best friend..

Who is this Götz?

A friend of Papa and Rosemarie.
That was before our time.

"Papa and Rosemarie"
- how that sounds!

Say "mom"! But!

Just say "Mom" once!

Mummy.

It's okay.

Do you know dad's girlfriend?
Have you seen her?

I did.
Today at the train station in Rosenheim.

And? Young.

does he love her

I think so.

He's often there.
All the time. That annoys me.

Come over here!

Asshole!

No! Be good!

Stay like this!

We start.

You too!

Come, Lord Jesus, be our guest
and bless what you have given us

Barrel! No! Woe, you eat that!

Stay beautiful! Do not eat.
Bread roll! Bread roll whines.

Don't interfere with
my parenting methods!

He's really good! Look at Götz!

Is the dog not good?

Barrel!

Eating together hasn't changed.

Götz, tell me what's new.

The day before I got
your invitation, -

- I found a letter from
your mother in a book.

She then asked me to help you.

Why?

Lukas was politically active and
almost couldn't become a teacher.

That was your
grandmother's influence.

She brought us to Ulrike Meinhof.
She was more radical than all of us.

It wasn't that wild either.
Yes it was!

Everyone admired her. Schmarrn!

Before she became a Maoist,
she was a Hitlerist. What?!

Goetz...

did you help then I don't care!

Let's stop with
the old nonsense!

Tell me about yourself, Götz. We
know the romantic politics stories

Let everyone tell
what they want.

I'm not used to
anything else from here.

I want to know where Götz
has been all this time.

Quiet! The head game
master has spoken.

I hope to be in my house
without your consent -

- occidental
customs may maintain.

How you talk to the guests!
Can a guest do everything?

Luke, shut up!

We wish nothing better on
Sundays and public holidays-

-as a conversation of
war and war rumors, -

-when far away in Turkey the
peoples hit each other bloodily.

Who said that?
Hitler.-A peasant poet?

Goethe, Faust 1. You idiot!

In Luke's childhood
there were no forks.

Goetz! Tell us something
about your family.

Are you married?

No. Divorced? No.

Do you have children? No.

We couldn't get any.

Your partner... My wife is dead.

Sorry. It's been a long time.

Rebecca was American.
She was murdered in 1980.

I was at the embassy in
Washington at the time.

Anything else you want to know?

I've seen you before.

How do you know we
have a towel here?

I remember that from before.

You feel at home in
Hierankl, don't you?

Yes.

It must be awful if...

When someone is
murdered whom you love.

Yes.

You're the first one I
know who has had this happen.

Sorry, please.

don't you live here

I've been in Berlin
for 13 years .

Did you run away then?

What makes you think that?

You are somehow just
as strange here as I am.

I'm going to the mountain tomorrow.
Where to? On the Tower of the Twelve.

do you want to ride Wait!

There's something? What?

Now come here! Nice rabbit!

The blood peasants! I
shoot Schmitz in the tire.

Where have you been?
Across the lake.

We always went there with Rosi.
Remember? Sure.

Incredible. Goetz is back.

Someone knocks. A door opens.

You? Yes.

I just dreamed that I
was sleeping with you.

And? How was it?

Nice.

You are somehow different
from the other women.

Different from which?

Actually there isn't any.

At the moment.

Do you know that dad used
to think that you'd be gay?

Because of Vinzenz. "Will"?
He thought it could be.

Did you believe that too?

You were close together.

You always slept together.

What do you think we did there?

What did she actually do to you?

She never loved me .

why are you whispering

Terrible things
better to whisper.

I need to talk to you. About what?
I don't want to talk about Götz.

Why? I have no remember him.

Remember the story
about the angel?

Yes. You stopped
playing the piano that day.

You noticed that. And what next?

There was a fight. Why?

Do you know who Goldberg was?

I don't care.
I want to know what happened to you.

Why? You always wanted to
play the Goldberg Variations.

You practiced for
months every day.

That was home for me.
Mom always played too.

That's not the
answer to my question.

There was a fight
and it was terrible.

Leave me alone.
It's all been so long.

The little roll!

I want to say something
about tomorrow.

I want to say something
about tomorrow my birthday.

Paul! Yes...

That is probably...

... the last big birthday
that we can celebrate together.

And when I'm dead, then you'll
inherit this beautiful house.

I don't want to inherit anything from you.
You're probably happy.

I want to plan the
day for Götz and us.

I'm going up the
mountain with Götz .

are you going?

First give me a little
help, then we can go together.

No, we go alone.

What do you expect from me?
I'd like some help.

That's all nonsense!

Let those two go.

We'll do it. Paul, you help.

What does do the
janitor actually do?

You can help Rosi a little.

There you go.
Then everything is fine.

Do you want to set Lene
up with the old bastard?!

She likes being
here, since Götz came.

Especially since she
caught you with your chick.

Don't talk like that about
a person that I love. Sure?

That sounds like in the Heimat
novel when you talk about love.

"Who never came
through love grief," -

- "To whom also came love
through love never near."

Your poem is real crap.

Do you want to get
married like me?

I don't want to talk
to you about this.

You should. I understand.

What do you actually
want from me?

You wanted something
from me first.

Look out.

I love another woman.

Your mother is having an
affair with your best friend.

Lene is visiting us.
After 30 years, Götz is coming.

That's what I wanted to talk to you about.
Somehow everything is changing.

Even the dog.

Just not you.

Do you think it's
over with Hierankl?

Here you go! What about you?

Come on Paul!
I understand you. Believe me!

That sounds like a home movie.

It's a home movie, Paul.

You slept in my bed
and ate from my plate?

Nothing is right here anyway.
Vinzenz fucks my mother.

Your broken idea of
family is bugging me.

stop fucking my mom -Otherwise
I'm not your friend anymore

What do you want from her?
Hereankl?

Remember this: as long as this is
going on, you won't sleep in my room.

When I was 16, I stood
up there one night.

I was madly in love
and very desperate.

She was the saddest
girl I've ever known.

I was mad with love.

And she too.

She thought we could
only save our love,

- if we die together.

do you know something like that

I believed that at the time.

We went up there at night.

We were up there.

Then she said:
Give me your hand.

We jump.

She screamed: I want to be dead.

You promised me.

I said: I don't do it.

That's when I realized
I had lost her.

was that mom?

madness! There are
no more people here.

I've never been here met anyone.

Have you been here often?

With Paul.
He called this "Magic Forest".

You will be transformed
if you walk through here.

Simply that way.

lena...

What are we
actually playing for?

For love.

You are a little idiot.
- You a big one. Game!

20 to 19

Go away, I have to concentrate.

I'll get you Vincent!

The specification was net.

You're crazy, that was
a point for me. 20 to 20

It was off, but before
that it was mains.

You saw it too, didn't you?

you all can me! - 20 to 19.

match and cue ball.

How much longer will the
family user fuck with you?

All children are angels -

- and in reality
they can even fly.

Why is that? Because they have
invisible wings on their back.

And why is that? The wings of
every child are always mom and dad.

All children have
a mom and a dad.

Therefore everybody can fly.

But a child must be careful
not to lose its wings.

Mom and Dad have
to stay together.

I'm an angel too. But I
can't fly that high right now.

Because my wings are weird.

I always fly in circles
or around the corner.

When I turn around, I see
everybody flaps differently.

The wings always have to do
the same thing. Flap-flap.

Flap-flap. Funny!

That's how it should sound.
Flap-flap.

Then you can also fly straight
ahead or up wherever you want.

Lene, please stop
reading and eat!

I can't take your soul drunk
face anymore. It's disgusting

Let Lene read and shut up!

I can't stand your feeling.

Shall I read? Shut up and eat!

Leave Lene alone.
Leave if you don't like it.

It would be best if you were dead!
Leave Lene alone!

She has never spoken to
me about it to this day.

I stopped playing the piano
that day . Just like that.

My first big decision.
She knows that.

Do you remember what
we used to talk about?

We build a house and live there
with 4 or 5 beautiful women, -

- who give us children.

They must never tell us
who they are from. Never!

The laws were: no
envy, no jealousy.

I hate you.

CD player: A woman
sings an aria.

Do you remember when Götz brought
you to for the first time in Hierankl?

The beautiful architecture
student he used to tell me about.

you were 20

My first thought was:
You'll never get them.

Unreachable. Just how she looks!

Beside you, I felt
like like an ugly fool.

But more than the looks...

...was something inside...

your attitude.

You said your name:
Rosemarie Mahnstein.

You left out the "from .

And that you come from Bogenhausen.
I already knew that...

sentimental huh?

The whole evening
was really shit for me.

Because I thought:
She doesn't want me.

In between you whispered in
Götz's ear . I knew exactly what.

"Where did you
pick up the pawn ?"

Why is he still wearing
shorts in early November ?

I asked him if I had
any chances with you.

By the way, he said no.

Your complexes I
never gave a damn.

I didn't understand
them anyway .

You were very different, Lukas.

Your family too, and
that was important to me.

you were so...

... cow-warm.

That cow warmth.

Someone is playing the piano.

Sing: "Good luck and many
blessings in all your ways."

"Health and happiness
are also part of it."

Lukas and Paul sing
along with the canon.

health and happiness
be there too.

All the best!

My first Birthday?!

Blow! Then everything
will come true.

someone knocks

Hello! Götz, come in!

All the best!

You're the dog, not me.

I want you to know how I feel
and what's important to me.

Naturally.

It had to be like this, right?

Yes.

That had to be.

I'll leave you now.

Götz, I'll read you something.
From the Asterix?

No, not from the Asterix.

Watch out! "In general, this is
what strikes us as coincidence,"-

-"a concatenation of causes
unknown to us or little known" -

- "and such effects."

Do you remember?

Yes.

Why did it take 30 years
for you to come back?

I thought so.

Exactly I thought so.

You must be Esther?

Unfortunately I'm late.
I'm Rosemarie.

I brought him something.

Lukas' taste you can rely on.

In every sense.

I have to tell you something.

Lukas doesn't know
that you are coming.

Now you think if you
should go, don't you?

Silence Please!

People keep talking.

It has to be complete silence!
Oh shut up!

Götz, don't always interrupt
when I'm giving a speech.

Perfect rest!

I'll be right back.

I greet the clergyman
Rat and my aunt Miezel.

Friends, relatives,
you are welcome.

The motto of today...

Today's motto is from
my old friend from Weimar.

"He who brings something to
many will bring something to some."

"And everyone leaves happy."

Let's drink to that!

I want to introduce
you someone: -

This is Esther.

I don't know her very well.

I first saw her 5 minutes ago .

But Esther has been
Luke's lover for 4 years .

That's why I invited you
and put you in my seat here.

I didn't tell you, Lukas.
That must have been mean.

Forgive me.

You're probably
wondering why I did that.

I want to carry some
warmth into this cold world.

And order.

Clever thought and stupid action.
That's how I walked through life.

Hello!

Nice that you're here.

you are the dog

I have to ask you
one more thing.

Why did you never
see each other again?

She didn't want that.
Did she tell you that?

she wrote it to me

Her marriage to Lukas
was more important to her.

Marriage... ?

You two was a long time ago.

You were there only 16.

Goetz, wait!

I want to say something too.

Why don't you start with the
"order" not with yourself? Mom?

You and Götz, you had an affair.

When you were with dad .

You started lying to all of us.

Isn't that right?
Götz was your lover.

Leni, that's enough.

No, Luke, let her.

You're right.

Götz was my lover.

I hid it because...

Because...

Goetz is your father.

No no no!

Lena...

Come back, Lena!

Lena!

Lena, come back!

Goetz doesn't know.

Paul, take care of
take care of Lene!

lena...

Lena, what is it?

Do you love me? Yes!

Lene!

What is?

she is sobbing.

She screams in desperation.

Don't ask. Please don't ask.

Sleep with me!

You're lying.
You're lying to all of us.

You still love him.
You don't want to give him away.

You think he's
in love with me, -

- because he still loves you.

Why didn't you
tell me about Götz?

You can't understand.

You're right.
I don't understand anything.

I don't understand anything,
since I can remember.

Because you don't ask me
anything, you don't tell me anything.

You don't touch me because
you don't love me. Stop!

What really happened with Götz?

You mustn't love Götz .

We sleep together.
He's my lover.

No. Please do not!

Did you hear me? He is my lover.

No! Please do not!

Tell me what he is to me and
tell me what he does to me.

I can't.

Tell me what he's doing to me.
I can't.

Fuck.

No!

We fuck. Say it!

Fuck.

Fuck. No...

We fuck. No...

Say he is my lover.

I want to hear it from your mouth.
Lovers!

Say it: lover.

Lover.

Yes. Götz is my...?

Father.

I didn't hear that .

Aloud: Father!

she is sobbing.

You talk never more about it.

until you're dead

And now you fix yourself
and come back down.

Tell me what's going on!
What is it?

Lene!

You were looking
here for something.

And me too.

this is mom

And this...

You are that.

Nov 72

Just say that it's not true.

All you have to do is say
that everything is a lie.

Then we are saved.

Goetz, please!

Somehow I don't even care.

It's okay.

All right, right?

Heimatfilm!

More towards the end.

bang, bang!

You dog, you cursed!

Get lost!

The three most
important questions: -

Are you having sex? Do you have family?
Are you on the move?

And...
