(Marie) Who is this Dr. Baller?
- Businessman, late 70s.

Had a PR agency. Right
successful apparently. - Broke?

Not that I know.
- And why...

... he then comes to us and leaves
not at a prime home?

Don't worry.
That's his sense of humour.

This black here
I've never seen that.

He painted that in '27.
Her name was Laika.

A noblewoman who works for Ufa
worked as an extra.

A beautiful woman.
- Has a resemblance to Catherine.

(Horn) You know Catherine
is happily married?

Now leave him
but in peace.

It has to do with her

Her partner stabbed her.
Jealousy.

Hi?

Hi!

- N / A? -
- N / A.
It's all ok? -
- Hmm.

- You'll have it soon.
- Stop! Stoll was back.

His wife had even more
"great" ideas for the living room.

- Where's Nelly?
- Back over to Max.

would it be ok if you cook today
for Nelly and for you?

- Are you not well?
- Yet.
But I want to take a bath.

- And then I go to bed.
- By 8 o'clock?

- That's what I call luxury!
- It's my turn tomorrow.

- Here come Bea and Thomas.
- Then the day after tomorrow.

The day after tomorrow is my day again.

Crap.

- That's disgusting!
- She didn't get that from me.

Maybe the Lambada
Dancer from back then her father.

I may have
an eccentric taste

but for that "I don't stink
after old hot-water bottles".

- That's from the play.
- Is there a theater group this afternoon?

Yes. Mrs. Ochsmann
is fit again.

- The premiere will be
not postponed?
- Nope.

- Max is playing too?
- the delusion-
thoughtful Uncle Jack, my husband.

Then you have to practice a lot...
What have you got there?

- What?
- You're going all yellow!

She will
"quite wavy at the edges".

Just become parents
"yellow and wavy at the edge".

Who made this weird piece
actually chosen?

- Crap!
- You can say that out loud.

- Such a dumb thing!
- Is not bad.

- I'd better go
on the toilet.
- I come with!

- But you answer it!
- No, I mean...

- Don't you find that you already
did enough?
- I insist!

- I'm very sorry.
- It's just my favorite jacket.

Thanks.

(Romantic music)

We could have a coffee
walk instead of scrubbing one away.

And what will become of us?

"We still have Paris".

- Do you take the train every morning?
- Find out!

You grin like the holy virgin
after the Immaculate Conception.

- What?
- Are you coming with something to eat?

- Oh God! What time is it?
- Just before half past two.

Maybe I can still do it!
She's always late too.

(upbeat music)

- A Cynar, please. No ice.
No lemon.
- Hello mum.

Do you know what kind of a
want a very simple belt?

- 1,000?
- 360. Expensive enough.

- It's Harald's birthday tomorrow.
- How old will he be?

- 28?
- Don't be jealous.

- La Palma was great!
- Nice.

- Have you ever?
- I take
the sole and the small salad.

I'll take the beef tenderloin.
Bloody.

If possible, still cold inside.
And a glass of Merlot.

- How are you?
- The usual.
Christopher is still working

at his zero-energy house. Nelly
rehearses for the school performance.

- You're coming, aren't you?
- I don't know if we're there.

- Harald and I want to go to Sylt.
- When your granddaughter goes to the theater?

- What do you have against Harald?
- Nothing.
I just don't like him.

(Waiter) Bon appetit.

And?

Bone dry as always.
- (Waiter) Oh, I...

All right. Bring me
a merlot. I wash it down.

I know with your father
it was also very nice at the beginning

but with Harold...
it's like in a porn.

(She laughs out loud.)
(someone clears their throat) Mom!

"Mom mom"! Do you think a woman?
can't turn a man on

- just because she's older than him?
- 15 years!

We had an apartment
right over the sea.

Although we go swimming
didn't come at all.

- We had this hot tub on the
Terrace...
- You are impossible!

And then she says: "Yes, and
I worked hard on it."

Such a mother
I would have wished.

Yes, for a laugh
she is always good.

But I find this "unworthy-
Greisin-Getue" put on.

- She's only 60!
- it's great,
when you take what you want.

Who dares something like that?
- Ah!

If they agree with their decision
is satisfied, everything is okay.

- And dad?
- The loner! There
it's not your mother's fault.

you heard it! In the future
i can do what i want.

Because she dreams
long ago by Brad Pitt.

That's why I love you so much.
you know me so well

Brad Pitt is me
too old anyway.

A clear decision
is better than none.

And your parents?
Clear decisions?

How you take it. My father
went to Poona when I was 12.

To Bhagwan?
do you have contact

Little. He lives in Italy.
With his 2nd wife.

The ass! Excuse me but
he didn't even come to Nelly's christening.

It just happened
drifted apart.

He was overwhelmed
was looking for a way out.

Why didn `t you
Defending Saddam Hussein?

He might still be alive!...
Today is not my day.

I even have someone on the train
spilled coffee.

Did he look good?

(train station announcement)

(Sad music)

So I think
that passes as a weasel.

Okay, the sofa is the carriage.

Aunt Maud sits in
Jack is still outside.

Eddie gets in the carriage
sits down.

- Aunt Maud says...
- "You must be Malcolm.

No, I'm Eddie.

I spoke to the weasel.
So? are you malcolm

Don't bother about her.
she is insane

- Who is she?
- Sally the weasel.

Does she have that name?
stuffed animal hugging her?

But I did speak
from the weasel!

This dear lady is my wife

the mad aunt maud,
and and...

and it definitely isn't
insane." I can't do this!

Sure! The text
you can do well.

you have to now
add a little more feeling.

Imagine you are
the mad uncle Jack.

You are old, completely insane...

"This dear lady is my wife,
the mad aunt maud,

- and it is definitely
not insane."
- Well done!

Thank you very much.

- It wasn't bad.
- Let your father play the part!

So I liked you.

- Well then good night.
- Night.

(Sad music)

- It'll be fine.
- Hmm.

You like Max, don't you?
I find him nice too.

- A little shy but nice.
- Mummy!

- What?
- You're annoying.

Excuse me if I to you
got close. I understand that.

I also thought it was bad when Grandma
asked me about friends.

Max is not my friend.
At least not like that.

- Understand...
- Good night.

Night.

- Good night dad.
- Night, Nelly.

I am happy,
that this is behind me.

- I'm going to sleep too.
- I'll finish the hem.

Good. See you later.

(train station announcement)

- No coffee today?
- I was close.

So no tete-a-tete then
in the train toilet?

take comfort.
The opportunity will come again.

Every morning at 8:28 am.
You drive often too.

Thursdays only.

And what do you do on Thursdays?
work?

yes i am busy I help
a friend of mine who is a film producer

- the chaos in his accounting
assign.
- You are an accountant?

Interesting.

Do you want me to tell you something?
It's really interesting.

Goethe has about the bookkeeping
said: "She allows us

all days the sum of ours
to draw increasing happiness."

The accounting
is like life:

No profit that is not on the
other side would be a loss.

There are things that
don't just let it be quantified.

- It's terrible, all in
to express numbers.
- Dreadful?

I think it's honest.
What are you doing?

I'm an art historian.
I work for an art dealer.

Then you understand
what i'm talking about

- By the way, I'm Alexander Frey.
- Catherine Schneider.

may i you
visit your art dealer?

How so? Do you want ours
do accounting?

goodbye

- Good morning!
- Morning.

- Tell me!
- What then?
- Yes, who that was!

No one. I learned him
know on the train.

(laughs) Why don't I ever run
such guys across the way?

- How so? do you need
- Do not you?

- No.
- Ah... How long
do you actually know each other?

I tell you
we do not know each other.

No, I mean,
you and Christopher

That's 15 years now.
How so?

Henrik and I
have known us for 12 years now.

"Habit is a heavenly treasure:
effective substitute for happiness."

- Huh?
- Pushkin.
- I see. Understand.

(phone ringing)

Hi?
Yes, on the phone.

What?
And where is he now?

(Doctor) He broke up on the post
together. Has anything like this ever happened?

- Not that I know. He will...
- Do not worry.

We'll keep him here and...
- That might suit you!

- Father!
- What are you doing here?

- You had a dizzy spell.
- Nonsense.

- Do not you remember?
- I want to go home.

- Be sensible now.
- Listen, Herr Meineke.

Your daughter will bring you
a few things from home

and after 3 days full board
then we will know more.

You just want me
because I have private insurance.

Do you remember Aunt Anneliese?
Slipped while dancing.

Infection in the hospital
fetched. Shortly thereafter she was dead.

Are you gonna call a cab now?
Where are my shoes?

I can't
just go to bed.

It's good.

That all has to be done.

- Should I stay with you?
- What!

Do you need anything?

Listen, I've had to since
be alone for long periods of time.

sometimes i understand
that mom is away from you.

How are you?
Your mother?

Good.

Nice.

Hm!

- "Berlin Alexanderplatz".
first edition?
- Yes.

Wow! Even with an envelope.
What do you get for it?

3,000, maybe 3,500.

- Have you read it?
- No.

Are you interested?
I give it to you

(Rock music, Christoph hums along.)

(on the phone) No...
I think he's fine.

he just misses you

I don't blame you!

Give him a call. It has to
not be tomorrow.

Don't tell him I mean anything to you
said. You know how he is...

Yes, I'll do it.
Good. Until then.

(He sings:
"I Feel You" by Depeche Mode.)

(She sings along.)

Greetings from mom.

Thanks.
And what did she say?

That dad always
had a penchant for melodrama.

And you?
Are you worried?

This morning is me
what funny happens.

I've got to know someone,
in the train.

Actually, I learned him
know last week.

- I got him coffee over the jacket
poured...
- That connects.

We talked.
He is an accountant.

Sounds exciting.

He gave me a lecture about
kept double-entry bookkeeping.

- (laughs) That's one
original scam.
- He was nice.

- Are you ready?
- With a client like Stoll?

- I think you're done.
- (Laugh)

you think i'm done
How did you get to that?

- You can't judge that at all.
- (laughter, music: "I Feel You")

(on the phone) They really are
wonderful works.

I can't wait
to see her in real life.

(laughs) Yes, of course you too,
Doctor Kugler.

See you next week then
in Frankfurt. goodbye

Really strong. Does Kugler have the collection?
set up all by yourself?

Essentially yes. A couple
Drawings are from the father.

How is your father?
Marie told me.

He says he's fine.
But what does that mean?

He always said:

Life is a novel -
even the longest comes to an end.

(Horn) Ms. Schneider?
Someone wants to speak to you.

(Romantic music)

What are you doing here?

what usually want
visitors here?

You want great art
buy for little money.

Yes, maybe I will
that too.

I like that.

Reminds me of my childhood.

You have good taste.
It's yours for 200,000.

With frame?

What if I tried
invite you to dinner?

- I think that would be pointless.
- It's just a small invitation.

- Listen...
- It's about that long.

And so fat.

Good Appetite.

- How did you find me?
- So many
There are no art dealers here.

And that you don't
work in a crap like this...

- ... that's what you thought?
- Yes!

My husband, Christopher
he hates currywurst.

They want me to understand
that you are taken?

- Sorry. I'm here
not that routine.
- In what?

So first take me by surprise
with this invitation

and then you want me
embarrassed.

Not at all.
Tell me about your husband.

He's 40, architect... I want
don't even talk about him now.

- Then tell me something about yourself.
- Tell me something!

OK. I am 37.

I live with my sister Lili
and her son Vincent.

My father was a diplomat. As a child
I've seen half the world.

I'm sitting at the moment
in a hot dog stand

- with an art historian
in Hamburg.
- Where have you been?

- Mozambique. Ecuador. Vietnam.
Kananga.
- Kananga?

A tiny little country
between Burundi and Rwanda.

I'd like something now
hear from you.

I have an 11 year old daughter
I love my job...

- Who is your favorite painter?
- That is hard to say.

Which picture would you
take to a desert island?

A collage by Matisse.
The "Fleurs de Neige". And you?

Oh well. No idea.
Painting is not my profession.

But there is a small picture
that I used to like very much.

3 women on the gray beach.
One with her back to the viewer.

She strokes her black hair
and looks into the distance.

The second lies
with eyes closed next to it.

She has half the face
covered by a white cloth.

And she dances almost by the water
Third, her hair blows in the wind.

- You described that beautifully.
- Do you know it?

"Les Baigneuses" by Picasso.
He painted it in Biarritz,

- when he was with Olga in the
honeymoon was.
- Who is Olga?

His wife.

He was also married.

Would you like?

- For what reason?
- Easy to drive out.
To the water.

How do you imagine that?
I have to work.

I find,
work is overrated.

(wave noise, seagulls screeching)

What are you thinking of?

Nothing special.

To the office.

Guilty conscience?

no

That's what's happening to me
a bad conscience.

- Haven't you done this before?
- What?

Just made it blue.

- Not really.
- Pity.
These are the best days.

I used to do that more often
made with my father.

He said to a leadership position
involves a degree of laziness.

(she laughs) Don't laugh.
That saved our lives.

In Kananga. We drove out
to Lake Kivu.

On that day
there was a military coup.

The capital was
a single pool of blood.

They dragged the ambassador
through the streets in a jeep.

For us it was easy
a nice trip.

(Romantic music)

My greatest adventure was
a diving holiday in the Caribbean.

I have a
stingray petted.

(laughs) is adventure
the result of poor planning.

But one thing interests me:
If you tell, then...

that sounds so alive. Why are
you then become an accountant?

(Romantic music)

- Am I asking that, or are you asking that?
- What?

- Can we do that again?
- That will not do.

No?

no

- See you next Thursday.
- Take care.

- You too.
- (Sad music)

did you forget something

(Romantic music)

- And how was your day?
- Why do you ask?

- Because I care.
- You wouldn't ask otherwise.

Well, otherwise you tell
also by yourself.

Good...
Nothing special.

So, I got mine today on the internet
Viewed holiday homes.

Where do we want to go in summer?

I would like to
do something completely different.

"Something completely different"?
Where is that?

Well, go somewhere
Where we've never been

Aha. You mean something like...
Bielefeld.

Come! Corsica really wasn't
bad last year, right?

You can with surfing
keep going.

- And so did you
liked.
- Yes / Yes...

What is?
Would you like it?

- What is wrong with her?
- She is
like this all day long.

(Crying, there is a knock.)

So what's going on?

Nothing.

Why are you crying?

The Max!
He sees her every day.

- With who?
- With that stupid cow! Every day!

Who knows what's behind it.
Maybe they study together.

I'm not stupid!
He doesn't even speak to me anymore.

Last week
he still liked me.

- He probably still likes you.
- No! Definitely not.

I do not understand that.
Why is that?

You know, people change.

And sometimes change
then also the relationships

they have to each other.

- Life is complicated.
- Life sucks.

Come here.

(Marie) These Kirchner sheets
are incredible!

Lempertz had in February
2 Kirchner watercolors.

They were around 12,000
and 15,000.

They haven't been that good for a long time
like this one.

So I think you could there
go higher... Katharina?

What?...
Yes, make a note.

are you not well

Yes, but.
Nah... I don't know either.

- You have a crush!
- (Marie laughs.)

Crap!

- It's great! Make something of it.
- What does that mean?

Stand by your feelings! Otherwise
you carry it around with you forever.

- How is that supposed to work if everything is like this
is confused?
- Confused?

"If you are sharp,
had to answer." Nina Hagen.

(Sad ballad:
"You Are The Only One")

- Is everything alright?
- Hmm?

- Is everything alright?
- Yes.

- Did you have a nice week?
- Yes.

I liked it
the other day with you

The other day was the other day, okay?

OK.

- And with you? No days off?
- It's no fun alone.

The train is full of women who like
would take a day off.

I'm interested
not all.

(Heavy music, she laughs.)

Mean! You know exactly,
that I wanted to stop.

I could not resist.
It was too hideous.

(phone ringing)

Cutter...
Ah, Mr. Stoll!

No, it doesn't matter at all
that you call on Sunday...

When Christopher asks you:
We were shopping.

Then we wanted to go to the cinema
but it was sold out.

We stayed at "Le Ciel"
and later in "Absinthe".

That's where we met Claudia
and chatted us up, okay?

OK. And what is real?

- He said he'd take me with him.
- Where?
- I don't know.

(cheerful music)

(cheerful music)

(Cheers, whistles, applause)

(Cheers, whistles, applause)

Our hero!
3:2 - In the last minute!

Let it be, Franky.

- And who are you?
- Catherine.

Catherine. Nice.
Was this your first time there?

I was in Russia 6 weeks ago.
They freak out at the game!

10,000 people!
i am the mechanic

- Franky, Ulrich hits up Christine.
- He should just be careful!

That was Frankie.
Something unusual, huh?

- Do you want to dance?
- Absolutely!

(Loud music)

As a kid I had
a book about the moon landing.

I was so excited! I wanted
to be the first woman on the moon.

I got mine for Christmas
wanted a lunar module.

And when I ran a grocery store
got it, I was pissed off.

My father tried
rebuild the thing.

And I made space suits
for my barbie dolls.

Already so late.

(Romantic music)

(Romantic music)

(She calls loudly.)

It was a nice evening.
Thanks.

I'm leaving next week
to Frankfurt. To a collector.

I will look at the collection
and spend the night there.

So if you want...

Willingly.

- "What time is it?
- Unfortunately I don't have a watch.

Then I'll lend you mine.
So what time is it?

- It's 3 minutes past 9."
- After 8 o'clock!
- After 9 o'clock.

- Mummy! It says "after 8 o'clock," right?
- What?

- 8 o'clock or 9 o'clock?
- You weren't even listening!

- It doesn't matter.
- Mom is already dreaming of the holidays.

- You have no idea,
what I dream of!
- What do you have?

- Oh, let me!
- Trouble in the gallery?

Will I also
when I grow up?

(Sad music)

I'm sorry.
I know...

Goodbye Mom!

Can't I get a kiss?
I'm going away today.

You'll be back tomorrow.

You won't believe it, but we will
get by without you

- It's usually much longer.
- You seem happy about that.

what do you think is going on here
when you're gone.

- Coke and pizza every day.
- But all organic. Ciao. Have fun!

- And who do you say I am?
- My assistant.

madness that this
hangs with you.

I've only seen it once, up
the great Schwarz retrospective.

That was the only time
that I borrowed it.

See the signature: He has her
had his name tattooed on it.

It was a tragic story.
He loved her very much.

She drowned in a swimming accident
at the Baltic Sea.

I thought her partner had them
killed out of jealousy.

Schwarz just made that up, um
to make things more interesting.

Why are you selling all this?

I have these pictures
seen long enough.

I need white walls again.

- Are you interested in China?
- Not until now.

Things happen there...

These are the witnesses of one
great past. Like me.

But unlike those...
I can go on a search.

Speaking of which: you have
Do you have any plans for this evening?

As an entree we order the tapas.
You are divine.

Then I recommend that
Rouget Barbet with passion fruit.

Please try it as a main course
the Iberico pig.

You become the pig for the 1st time
understand as a creature of God.

You have convinced me.

And bring us a bottle
Champagne, Grande Cuvee.

You don't have anything
against champagne with dinner?

- To the beautiful rest of ours
life.
- I'll drink to that.

Of champagne
you can't just sip.

The beautiful things should be
to fully enjoy.

And what brought you to art?

Coincidence.

So you have yourself
in love with art?

Love isn't a coincidence.

Without the chance of an encounter
no love.

The real achievement is
of course keeping love.

And this is
the real purpose of art.

- Do you need a wake-up call?
- No, not necessary.

Yes. He is a very
interesting old gentleman... hmm...

That's what's going on these days
barely.

I'll tell you in detail
when i'm back...

No, I'm just dead tired...

yes me you too
Bye.

Isn't there a minibar here?

Here below.

I feel sick.

Everything okay?

Yes.

(Romantic music)

(moans, solemn music)

(carried music)

(Carried music, labored breathing)

(Birds sing)

(English) Hey!
Have you ever asked yourself

why it so much
telephone junction boxes are there? No?

They're everywhere!

Did you hear about the one in Berlin
who blew up?

That wasn't an accident
but a warning!

Here, a currywurst. And leave
my customers at peace.

- (Beat)
- Come in!

Morning.

- Thanks.
- With pleasure.

Hm!

Actually, I hate breakfast
in bed. Everywhere crumbs.

I have one with Christoph
Whole pot of coffee poured out.

You are
clumsy with coffee.

Why are you actually here?

you have a man who loves you
a daughter, a great job.

That sounds pretty perfect.
And yet you are here with me.

maybe I'm here
because you're not that perfect.

Because you don't plan everything.
Because you do what you want.

That's kitsch!
i like you you know

- Have you ever
heard of kapsukas?
- No.

A city in Lithuania. There was
a tractor factory in Soviet times.

In '94 I was transferred from McKinsey
sent shortly after graduation.

From 18,000 workers
I laid off 15,000.

It's been tough for the city, but this
The tractor factory still exists today.

Then yes you are
a really bad guy?

- It depends on the point of view.
- Aren't you ashamed?

It was fun back then in Lithuania...
and last night with you too.

(She laughs.)

- What is?
- (She laughs.)

(phone ringing)

(She laughs, the phone keeps ringing.)

(laughs) No! Give it to me!

you fall down

Hi?...
Mummy!

What?

mmm

No, I'm still in Frankfurt.

I take the train at half past nine.
Good. Until then.

What is?

(phone ringing)

Hello, my little one.

Yes.

Does the dad
already told you?

no

Grandpa wouldn't want
that you cancel your performance.

I'll be home soon.

I remember how I helped him
to sort the estates.

He said:
"All scrap. For the bin."

And on the desk:
a pile of treasure.

And how happy he was then.

Do you also remember
what scenes he made

if you didn't have an A in German?
A 2 wasn't enough.

Oh well...

And anyway...
He's a pedant.

He's tearful.

he is unable
to boil an egg.

- If you hadn't loved him,
I wouldn't sit here
- Stop it!

you only want me
make a guilty conscience.

- He's a part of your life.
- No, my past.

I'm glad I went again
started again.

Mom, I have to tell you
what to tell...

I do not know,
What I should do...

- (Cry)
- Mummy!

Mummy...

That damn idiot!

(Ominous music)

(Thunder)

(Radio) "They were young. And they
had a best friend..."

(He turns the radio down.)

- Your mother stayed?
- Yes.

And? How is he?

- Not at all.
- (She turns the radio up loud.)

(Radio) "... About hesitation
before falling in love

director Westraly has one
made a wonderfully light film..."

- "Good morning, Malcolm.
- My name is jack.

I spoke
with the weasel, husband!

you always stand me up
in astonishment, beloved wife."

(Laugh)

(Loud applause, cheers)

You were great!
- So much text to remember!

Mom and Dad practiced with me.

- Your mother once looked at the
applied to acting school.
- Really?

That's exaggerated.

I accompanied a friend
and held her hand.

Too bad grandma and grandpa
are not there.

- Are you not well?
- Hmm?

I've had all day
quite a headache.

- Would you like a glass of water?
- I better go home.

- Do you want me to bring you?
- No, I'm walking.

I need fresh air...
You were really, really great!

I'm so proud of you.
Don't be angry, okay? Bye.

- That's a shame.
- Your father is very ill.

(birdsong, doorbell)

Hi?

Hi?

(Dogs bark)

- What do you want here?
- Hi.

I... I want to see him.

Alex!

- Hi.
- Hi.

- Don't you have homework
to do?
- Maths.

- You have to help me with that.
- You can do the math on your own.

Just once more. Please!

- Okay, later. I'll show you before
Catherine the workshop.
- Oh yes!

- Vincent, exit!
- Manno.

My nephew Vincent.

Lili is in the garden.
Do you want to meet her?

- Yes.
- Come.

- Lili! Catherine is here.
- Hi.

You are the woman from the train?

- Yes.
- I don't take the train.
I don't like the smell.

- Please sit down.
- I wanted
Show Katharina the workshop.

- Do you like motorcycles?
- Well, I like to ride.

- She has a beautiful voice!
- Yes. It's correct.

- Your sister, is she...
- Blind. At least almost.

What is she doing?
I mean does she work?

Yes of course.
She is a management trainer.

your seminars
take place in the dark.

Gentlemen are sweating
when suddenly the light goes out.

- Leave it.
- I've missed you.

Not particularly comfortable.

- Did you collect them all?
- No, these are from my father.

He started it in Africa.
At some point he wouldn't stop

to buy things. This is
not even half.

Then at least you have
always company.

your society
I prefer

My father collects books...

- He collected books.
- How is he?

He will
not wake up anymore.

- What is your relationship?
- He is my father. I love him.

But I actually have it...
never particularly liked.

- I'm talking nonsense.
- I do not find.

I feel the same way about Lili.

we know each other well
we understand each other...

We belong too
somehow together...

But we like doing each other
not really. Is just the way.

"I'm not a carrion,
be good, Franzeken.

I'm listening to you, I told him.
And then I took off

and you shall comfort me."
- (deep) "You must be crazy!

Because you're in love with him
do you want me to comfort you?"

"Yes, you should, Franzeken.

I'm your kitty
and you love me."

It's not because of dad.

I've got to know someone.

I told you the other day
already told. The guy on the train.

The guy on the train?

The accountant.

Is it serious?

- I don't know that.
- Do you want to live with him?

- That's not the point now.
- I see?

- (He laughs bitterly.)
- Do you think that's funny?

No not at all.

If this happened to others
we would understandably say:

Yes, it's clear
after such a long time...

everything so ready
so harmonious...

It will be natural
a bit boring.

- Its not possible
about any others.
- No.

And me is
not boring either.

Then what is it?

Definitely exciting
to fuck with someone else.

I'll get myself a water.
You too?

- Is that all you have to do with it
occurs to?
- Prefer champagne?

What do you expect from me?
An uncontrolled outburst of anger?

I love you.
I am happy with you.

you are obvious
not so happy with me anymore.

I'll have to learn somehow
deal with it.

You don't give a damn!

It's about you and me
don't you get it? About us!

- (clinking)
- I can't see that stuff anymore!

- Do you want to slap me now?
- You do that. That would be something!

You're asking too much.

He's so shitty!
As if none of this concerns him.

- He's letting me decide
all alone!
- Be happy,

that you are free to decide
what you want to do

100 years ago you would have been beaten up
been shot, or your lover shot.

Or maybe both.
Maybe you would prefer that?

For you this is again
no problem!

That pisses me off, that
is never a problem for you!

Do you think it was easy
to separate from your father?

Anyway, I was looking for one first
others when I was single again.

I wasn't looking for anyone!

By the way, your father did
drawn up a living will.

He doesn't want artificial
be kept alive.

And has me as his
Authorized persons used.

It's probably something like that
like his revenge on me.

(phone ringing)

Cutter.

Mr. Stoll, good day.

Yes, the... No...

Excuse me,
it just doesn't fit, i...

Mr. Stoll,
I do not have time now.

no

I know very well
what service is.

Mr. Stoll, I'll call you
back this afternoon.

Then tell your wife

that they agree with their suggestions
to wipe your ass!

And if they still have one of theirs
has shitty good ideas

then I will come
and stuff it in her mouth!

Mr. Stoll?

He already has
cleverly done.

she leaves him
and still can't get rid of him.

When my father got sick
we had to with Lili...

sorry but one
Medical history is enough for me.

I told him everything.

What did he say?

Introduce yourself,
we would be together for 15 years.

I would tell you that I
fell in love with someone else

How would you react?
would you fight

Battle?

this is not the right moment
but I have to tell you something.

- You're pregnant.
- Not yet.

I applied.
At the German Development Service.

They do projects
for local business development.

Help for self-help, you know.

There's also something in Kananga.

- I think,
they will take me
- Ah.

but I want
not necessarily go alone.

How so? Look for them there too
art historians?

(English) Don't know.

It would be an adventure.

- You do not even know me.
- I know you well enough.

Just think about it.

And what about Nelly?
How do you imagine that?

It's not that difficult.

There is a
international school in Kutovu.

This is the capital.

(door noise)

Do you know it already?

What do I know?

The hospital
called an hour ago.

your father is dead

(She cries, sad sounds.)

(Antiquarian)... In the basement
are 85 boxes left.

Here are the more valuable pieces:
First editions, rarities.

Give it to a colleague
who goes to trade fairs or auctions.

you get more
than I can pay you.

No, take everything with you
and make an offer.

The Meyers of 1890
I would like to keep.

And your mother?
Would you like to keep something too?

I have no idea.
I ask them.

- Well, can you still?
- It's so dusty.

I used to get over
these whole hams annoyed.

- Were there as many back then?
- oodles.

But you know what was great?
Behind the shelves was a spot

it was so quiet there because the
books have swallowed everything.

- That's when I met the guys
Smoochy.
- Mummy!
- What?

Just forget it, okay?

OK.
I'll bring you a coke.

- Do you want anything else?
- Any beer?

I'll check.

- Mummy?
- Here!
- Do you want some of the books?

Just stop me with the books!
Dust catcher, stupid.

Trieste.

Your father was all along
in the library,

and we sat on this one
smelly harbor and ate pizza.

Amazing it at all
there's a photo of the three of us.

So no books for you?

In a bookstore
did it start

heard in a bookstore
it on. Kind of consistent.

I don't even know anymore
what book I wanted to buy.

I believe that was
"Silent Days in Clichy" by Miller.

The bookseller searched
and searched.

Then he saw the man in the
leafed through the last copy.

And he left it to me.
A Cavalier.

he impressed me a lot
because he was so smart and well read

and not at all
stated with it.

Later he gave me the book
read aloud. He was good at reading.

Eventually he has
stopped doing that.

And with many others
things too...

People change
over time.

Maybe you learn them
only know better.

I've been with Horn for around 3 months
asked for unpaid leave.

Doctor Kugler wants
that I accompany him to China.

He wants to buy there and needs
someone to advise him.

But you have
no idea about China.

I drive,
as soon as everything is done here.

Hello, my dear.
Wake up, we're going home.

(Sad music)

I want you to know that
everything has nothing to do with you.

Do you think you can do it
a few weeks?

Otherwise it's not a problem.
We can do it.

- It's because of the man
from the train.
- What?

I was listening when you
quarreled with dad.

listening is
not particularly fine.

Nobody tells me anything.

The man's name is Alexander
but it's over.

Just like with Max.

What about Max?

The stupid cow has now
another from the tithe.

There he is again.

But now there's Jean-Luc.

Ah, Jean Luc...

From Paris. So cute. Maybe
Can I visit him there?

- Je t'aime.
- What?

This is French
and means "I love you".

- Maybe you can
use.
- Mummy!
- (laughs) What?

(train station announcement, sustained music)

What do you say when you say goodbye?

No idea.

"Take care.
Stay healthy.

Drink only boiled water.

Write...
I'll follow

It was nice.
I love you."

(He sighs, sound of waves.)

Over there is Africa.

Over there lies Cuxhaven.

(Sad music:
"Damaged People", Depeche Mode)

(Music: "Damaged People".)
(He sings along with the lyrics.)

(They both sing along.)

I know someone who would
now call that kitsch...

so sit on the floor and
sing melancholy songs...

I actually think it's pretty nice.

Now listen to me:

A father-in-law demands
his 3 sons-in-law up,

to form sentences in which the words
"large" and "small" occur.

The two older ones
handle it with ease

but the youngest
he broods... and broods.

As his mother-in-law
enters the room, he says:

"My mother-in-law has one
big head and very small feet."

And what does that mean now?

The Chinese laugh at that!

(She laughs.)

There they can
really pour out.

(He sighs.)

do you think that's funny

It's only for 3 months.

In 3 months
a lot can happen.

But sometimes too
in 3 seconds.

What about Stoll?
Did you apologize to him?

nope Why?

His wife has herself
apologize to me.

(Sad music,
"You Are The Only One")

Elegant!

- Is he there yet?
- He's waiting in the lounge.

Well then...

Give Nelly another hug for me.

Yes, I'll do it.

I call
as soon as i get there

Take care.

Come back.

(Sad music:
"You Are The Only One")

Catherine?
Come. It starts.

(Sad music:
"You Are The Only One")

(Sad music:
"You Are The Only One")

(sad music, engine noise)
