Before the souls of the dead
can be reborn,

they must drink from the river Lethe
in order to forget their past.

... by Caravaggio.
This is the Madonna of the Rosary.

David with the Head of Goliath.

Caravaggio's radical use
of light and shadow

makes it very intimate, very tragic,

very realistic.

ln the middle, this huge altarpiece

which was originally
in a Viennese church.

Here we see Michael
sending Lucifer and his demons

down to hell.

On the short wall in the upstairs room

are two pictures on the right
that dramatically portray

Orpheus, the legendary musician,
and his wife Eurydice,

who died after being bitten
by a snake...

This bus terminates here.
All change please.

Madam,

it's my break now for half an hour.

I fell asleep.
Can I stay here until you go back?

Where do you need to go?

Stadlergasse, Dommayergasse, Benzinger?
- Dommayergasse.

Take the 85 from Wenzelgasse.
You'll be back in town in ten minutes.

That'll be much faster.
- I'd rather stay put. I'm in no hurry.

Okay, if you insist.

You crazy?

Hey, you bloody idiots!

What the hell?
Are you crazy or what?!

Are you crazy?!

Shit!

Arseholes! Unbelievable! Shit!

Unbelievable!

Why didn't you do anything? The cash!
Hello, headquarters? This is 147.

You just sat there and watched?
- Hello, do you read me?

Hello? I'm at the last stop, Breitgasse.
I've just been robbed!

Are you hurt?
- No. They banged on the bus.

And then stole the cash,
with a crowbar or something.

Write a report, we'll send the
police.

Where are you going?

Sorry.
- Hey, you can't just leave! Stay here!

Unbelievable! Hey!

You stupid woman! Stay here!

You witnessed a crime!
You can't just leave!

FREEDOM

Unbelievable! She just disappears!

Visiting hours are over, please.
- Yes, okay.

Excuse me, do you have the time?
- Sorry, no.

You're not from Vienna, are you?
- True.

You're not a tourist either.
- True.

You're not even from Southern Germany.
From... Hamburg?

True.

And you're not wearing a ring,
so you're not married.

You're... 37.

True.
- No.

You're 35.
- True.

Thank you. Goodbye.
- Goodbye.

Hello.

Thank you.
- Thank you.

Goodbye.
- Goodbye.

Nice men totally confuse you.

Your vocabulary decreases
to a single word.

That word is... "Correct".

You have such a beautiful dick.

A truly amazing dick.

Did you know that?

Well, I thought
they all looked pretty similar.

Nonsense.

You have a really beautiful dick.

Well, he's happy to hear that.

My dick.

And you taste good.

Yes?

You like the taste of my pussy?

Well, she's happy to hear that.

My pussy.

Where's the bathroom?

Uh .. The door on the left.

Your name isn't Petra.

Okay, I shouldn't have done that.

I was curious, you know?

After all, you did lie to me.
Right, Nora?

Hello!
- Hello.

Hi.
- Hey. Seatbelts, please.

How was it today?
- We played water polo.

I swallowed lots of water!
- Really?

It can't have been that bad.
- It was! I could hardly breathe!

Can I go to the cinema with Lilli?
- What do you want to watch?

We don't know yet.

ls that feasible?

Cello lesson, homework and cinema?
- Sure, I hardly have any homework.

If you say so.

But I want you home by ten, okay?

We have to hurry a little.
We're running late.

Have fun, yeah?

Ah, there you are! Hello, Philip, Jonas.
- Hello.

How was school?
- Good. Can I watch TV, Granny?

Not before six, okay?
- Why don't you come in?

I have to go.
The car's on the pavement.

Granny?
- Yes.

Where are the toys?

They're all under the bed. Go look.
- Okay.

Should Jonas stay the night, you think?

Jonas, do you want to stay the night?

Let him stay here.
You'll have some peace and quiet.

Well, okay. Thanks.

Hello?

Yes, come in.

Hello. My name is Meinert.
- Hello.

Go on inside, I just need to...

What do we do now?
- So your son is a trained car mechanic?

But he's been unemployed for a year?

Has he behaved strangely at all
in that time?

Strangely?

I mean, for example...

Has he been drinking?

Has he got into fights
or been mixing with the wrong people?

That sounds so bad.
He's just a normal boy.

Mrs Mehlis, I'm here to defend your son.

That's why I'm asking these questions.
Yeah?

If there's something we don't know,
it could backfire.

What does that mean?
- That he'll go to jail. For a long time.

I forgot the milk.

Can I take a quick look in his room?
- Yes. It's the second door on the left.

Mrs Mehlis, if you're summoned to court,
they'll ask you about your son.

So when it comes to refugees,

it'd be best to say that your son
has no problem with them, okay?

What are you doing in here?
- Excuse me?

Get out!
- Kurt!

Out!
- Kurt!

I'm Leo's lawyer.
- He didn't do anything!

It's hard to believe, but Mr Meinert...
- Shut up I said, or...

Leo didn't do anything!

That's for the judge to decide.

The victim is lying in a coma!

Where are you going?
- Bratislava.

Can I come along?
- By all means.

They say travelling broadens the mind.
Not for him, apparently.

Oh, please!

What's so courageous about that?

He's so narrow- minded.

So young
and thinks he's seen everything.

When he gets home he'll be
just as stupid as he was before.

I'd like to welcome Nora's husband.

Philip Meinert is here.
- Hello.

Mr Meinert,

how present is your wife Nora
in your everyday life?

Well, she's...
She's actually present all the time.

Which is a huge strain.

For example,
the neighbours got suspicious,

because our flat was searched,
even the cellar.

I had to explain myself to the police.
- Why did you have to do that?

Well, it turned out
that I had a weak alibi.

My children were already sleeping
and I had gone out to look for Nora.

You lost hope during that period.

Well, yes, there was a time, when I...

Now you're turning to the public. Why?

Because she could still be out there.

So you don't think it's possible
she might be dead?

Yes, I suppose it is... possible,
but I...

No, actually not. I...

I think she's alive.

So? It went quite well, didn't it?

You think so? I had a bad feeling.
- Why?

We're done now.
- Okay.

Everything okay?
- Yes, yes.

Well then, all the best. Knock on wood!

Goodbye.
- Goodbye.

Did she seriously just say
"Knock on wood"?

Now they'll all think it was me again.

Nonsense! Why would they?

What a great idea
to bare my heart on camera!

Only I could be that stupid.

"Knock on wood"!

Let's wait and see.

If somebody responds,
it will have been worth it, and...

If not, at least you tried,
which is the most important thing.

Maybe.

Have you heard the joke
about the transparent men?

One of them says to the other,
"I can see right through you."

What?

If someone is transparent,
he's see-through, yeah?

So you can say:
"I can see right through you."

Leo Mehlis.

Hello. Let's sit down, shall we?

If you need anything, let me know.
- Yes, thanks.

Are they treating you well?

Is the food okay?

Canteen stuff.

The man you beat up.

He came to Germany because he thought
he'd finally be safe here.

He lost his family,

his home,

his belongings,

and now his health too.

Give me...

one good reason

why I should help you out.

It just happened.

First I hit him in the face,
then I pulled his hair,

and then I just carried on.

He was lying on the floor...
It happened automatically.

He's been in a coma fortwo months!
It's not just one of those things!

You nearly killed the man!
- I didn't want to.

People like you hurt others
but don't take responsibility.

People like me?
- Yes, like you!

They set refugee homes on fire
like it's no big deal.

I can only defend you
if I feel you're thinking straight.

Stop acting as if you're the victim!
- I'm not.

Yes, you are! Because you think
you have no chance in life.

And you?
- What about me?

Are you thinking straight?

I need the Beckmann case
immediately, okay?

Hey.
- Hey.

Everything okay?

I have no idea how to defend him.

Listen...

I'll give you 50 euros...

if you take on the case.

No, thanks.

I'm quite happy
the case didn't land on my desk.

Okay, then I'll raise it to...

100 euros.

I'm the only person here
who can't be bribed.

Fucking bullshit!

Have you lost it?!

Sorry.

Meinert, hello?

Hello?

Nora?

Is that you?

Yes, Jonas has problems.

He's getting worse at everything.

Maths is worst.

And German.

I'm not sure
if he'll get into grammar school.

And Lena...

She's interested in boys now.

I have this irrational fear
of her getting pregnant.

Yes, I know it's...

totally ridiculous, but...

Yeah...

What would we do then?

Then I'd be even more dependent
on that silly cow.

Granny Hilde.

I can't stand her.

Nor she me.

Well, I think so.

I don't know.

Maybe that's all nonsense.

Dad?

Yes?
- I'm the only one alone on sports day.

But Granny Hilde is going.
- Yes. Granny...

Come here.

Hello?

Anybody there?

Shit!

Shit!

Lena!

Lena!
- Leave me alone!

Lena!

Lena, please! Lena...

Come on, let me in.
Monika is a friend.

Yes, she's a friend of Mum's!

Sorry, I don't understand.
Do you speak German?

Hello!
- Hello.

Hey.

Look!

I have a present for you.
- Agun? Cool.

Yes, a water pistol.
- You're giving me a gun?

Yes, why not?
- I'm not usually allowed weapons.

It's an exception.
I thought it looked fun.

Can I try it out?
- Of course. Come on.

Hey. Look at this.

I brought you a present, too.
With a bird house.

Trying to be a sugar daddy
doesn't suit you, Dad.

No!
- Attack!

Stop!
- I'll get you!

Stop! Stop!

Hey.

Have you ordered?
- Yes, a coffee.

Have you been here long?
- No.

I'm sorry.

What?

The whole thing with Lena.

But it's good. I mean...

At least she knows about it now.

So you weren't planning on telling her?

Excuse me.

Meinert, hello?

Sorry?

Where?

Okay.

Yes, no, it's...
No, it's good that you called.

Yes, of course I understand.
- Yes.

Goodbye.

That was the police.

A woman's been seen
who matches the description.

Somebody called because of the TV show.

Seen where?

Somewhere here, in the city.

It's just a possibility.
They don't know for sure.

But they wanted to let me know.

I have become lost to the world.

It may very well believe
that I am dead.

It is of no consequence to me
if it thinks I am dead.

I cannot deny it, for...

for I really am...

dead to the world.

I am dead to the world's tumult

and I rest in a quiet realm.

I live alone

in my heaven.

ln my love.

ln my song.

Good evening.
- Hi.

Coffee, please.
- Black, right?

Yes.
- Coming up.

Hello?

Nora?

Sorry.

What's this? Are you crazy?!

What the hell?
Have you lost your mind?

Who the hell are you?
- I'm sorry, Mr...

Shut up and get out!
- Mika's in my class!

"Mika's in my class"
Getting my daughter into drugs?

Dad! Are you crazy?

Dad!
- Ow!

Stop!

Now get lost, you little wanker!

Get lost!

My shoes!

Go brush your teeth, yeah?

Leave me alone.

Lena...

You're being totally weird.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I just lost it fora moment.

When will you stop acting like a baby?

She went away, Dad.
She went away from us.

She just left.
When will you understand that?

She just went away and left us.

My love.

My love.

Of course they'll appeal.
- It's really crappy.

I knew they wouldn't be fobbed off.

When a big company is involved, attack
is always the best form of defense.

Have you ever dreamt about just going?
- Going?

Just going away.
- Sure.

So you want
to emigrate to America now?

Karl?

Excuse me, ladies.

That's the Columbo complex.

What?
- Columbo, from the TV series.

He'll come back wearing a trench coat.
- And with a glass eye.

I don't know how to build my defense.
- But we have everything?

No. Far from it.

And I won't be able to get it all
by this evening.

I'll sit down with Karl, go through
it all and bring it to your house.

Really? You'd do that?
- Sure.

You're a sweetheart.

Yes, Philip?

No, I'm about to leave.

Oh, couldn't you have done that?

All right. I'll get it on my way home.
See you.

Hello.
- Hello.

Hey.
- Good timing.

Let me through, please,
I need to put this stuff down.

Ah, great.

Dinner's almost ready.

Lena, come on.
You can cut the baguette, okay?

Cut some slices and put it there.

And? Was your appeal successful?

No, it was shit.

Don't say "shit". You'll get an X.

You're right. Sorry.

Would you like a glass of wine?
- Not right now.

Just a sip, I'll get you a glass.

Jonas, come on. We'd like to eat.

Come on!

Just a little, yeah?

Well then, enjoy!

Make sure you have a napkin, please.

How does it work?

If someone says the word "mmm",
they get an X.

But if Jonas repeats the word "mmm",
he should get an X, too.

Why?
I say it because someone else said it.

Not because I want to.

A borderline case. You're right.

A legal grey area, huh?

Okay, if someone says the word
and we want to point that out,

then we'll say
that that person said "sh", okay?

"Hit" would be much better.
"You said hit"!

You may as well say the word itself.

Who's that?
- It's probably Monika.

Hello.
- Hi!

Want a drink, Jonas?
- You're a star. Thank you.

Hello. Nora. Nice to meet you.
- My friend Nora, Damourì.

Nora, Damourì.

Come on in. We're having dinner.

We don't want to disturb you.
- Come on.

Hey!

Hey, hello!

Hello.

This is Damourì.
- Hello.

Hello.
- Philip.

And Jonas and Lena.

Want to eat with us?
- We were going to the cinema.

Come on, just a bite.

Okay, a little one.
- I'll get some chairs.

How was the conference?
- Pretty good.

Some interesting people.

We finished so early
I almost came back to the chambers.

But I decided to spend time
with the kids. Have a seat.

What are you going to see?
- Reported Missing.

Boring!

Where did you meet?
- The tennis club.

So you're the tennis connection?
- I work there as a coach.

May I?

And in winter?
Aren't the courts closed?

Can you still make a living?

There are also indoor courts.
- Oh, of course.

How long have you known each other?
- For five weeks now?

We've known each other longer.
It must be a year by now, right?

Yes, but it's five weeks since we...
- Are you in love?

And where are you from?
- I'm from Hamburg.

Oh, from Hamburg!

Hamburg is a great city.

Yuck, there's a spider on the wall!

Destroy it!
- Jonas!

No, hold on. Now watch this.

Do you have a piece of paper?

So.

That's that.

The spider lives on, outside our house.
- Yes, sir!

May we leave the table, Dad?
- Oh...

Yes, but no watching TV.

How long have you been a tennis coach?

Giving you a hard time, isn't it?

What?
- That a black man would play tennis.

No, not at all.
- It seemed that way.

Not at all. I'm just asking.

You can ask, too.
I've been a lawyer for ten years.

We met 14 years ago.

You met our kids, they're seven and ten.
And I've never played tennis in my life.

In Africa that's not polite.
- What?

To ask so much.

You get to know each other first
and then ask.

I thought you were from Hamburg?

That guy was so arrogant!

Assumes you're racist before
you've noticed any difference in colour!

"Difference in colour" sounds great!
- But it's true.

But, honestly,
why is she with a tennis coach?

It's a wonder they agreed on any film.
- It's their business.

Come on.

It's obviously just an affair.

And what's so bad about that?

Nothing.

I'm just saying.

Monika has been single for ages.
Be happy for her.

That's what it looks like.
A desperate move.

Philip!

Seriously.
You think they love each other?

Does it always have to be love?

Of course not. That's my point.

Who really loves each other?

How do you mean?

Well....

Who can claim that they really love?

That's too negative for me.

Mum, you forgot Granny.
- Oh no. ls she still there?

Yes.
- Pass me the phone.

Granny?

See you the day after tomorrow.
I'll pass you on to Mum. Bye!

Mum?

Sorry. I totally forgot about it.

If you want, I'll go to the pharmacy
and get it first thing tomorrow...

Who?

That's really kind.

Yes.

No one asked us

When we were still faceless

Whether we wanted to live
Or would rather not

Now I'm wandering alone

Through a big city

And I don't know

Whether it loves me

I'm gazing into living rooms

Through doors and window panes

And I'm waiting
And I'm waiting

For something

If I were granted a wish

Then I wouldn't know what to choose

How would I know what to wish for?

For a bad time or a good?

If I were granted a wish

I'd like to be only a little happy

Because if I were too happy

Then I would yearn to feel sad

Then a miracle happened.

ln front of a white house,
close to the wall,

an old man sat on a bench
and fed the pigeons.

Can't Dad read to me?

It's more exciting when he reads it.

Sure, I'll go and get him.

Good night.

Night.

Jonas wants you to read to him.

Go read to Jonas.

Oh, I see. Yes. I'll be right there.

Think I practised enough
for the concert?

Practise again tomorrow
and you'll be fine.

I love you so much.

No matter what happens,
you should always know that.

I know that, Mum.

People live in this solitary
wilderness.

Not on the cliffs
but right on top of the water.

Far out at sea.

This floating village

is home
to more than 250 fishing families.

The landscape is breath- taking.

Have you been standing there long?

Won't you sit down?

I think I'm leaving.
- Where are you going?

Outside, by the river. Doesn't matter.

Anywhere.

Then you probably should, yeah.

Can you get me some cigarettes?
