LINE OF SEPARATION

SHADOW OF WAR

TANNBACH WEST - DECEMBER 196O

After Emil! We've almost caught them!

Faster!

Not so fast!

Kill them!

You're dead, I got you.

Bang!

Help, I want to go.

Help!

We almost have them!

Run for cover!

Cowards!

I don't like this, untie me!

Attack!

We almost have them!

That wasn't a hit!

You missed.

Faster!

Go on, you cowards!

Emil?

What's that?

Give me that!

Run!

Emil!

Emil!

Emil! No!

What happened? - Up there.

What happened? Is there shooting?

No, Mom, there's no shooting.

Go back inside.

TANNBACH EAST

AGRICULTURAL COOPERATIVE "HOPE"

Friedrich!

Anna.

How's our little girl? - She wouldn't take her nap.

No wonder

Did you hear the explosion? - Yes, what was it?

Revanchists training for the coup again. - As always.

Alright then, come on in.

How did you convince so many to come?

Feed is scarce.

For some more scarce than for others.

Now it's up to you.

How much longer will this take?

Your families have health insurance in the cooperative.

Your kids get childcare.

And farmers going into debt for a tractor or a combine

are a thing of the past.

Members can use the equipment pool of the cooperative, free of charge.

You just want our good equipment

because your glee club doesn't have a working vehicle.

It's in your own interest. You enjoy the benefit,

and the risk is shared by many.

You lie! - If you reject our proposal again...

What then?

Unbelievable! - Is that a threat?

Are you threatening us?

Will we really let the imperialists, warmonger and saboteurs

on the other side divide us?

Or will we work together to build a just society here?

With equality for everyone?

It already is equal.

Nobody has butter, vegetables, not even potatoes!

The losers among us farmers are all in the co-op.

Who among you was a farmer before the end of the war?

You came here, stole our land, and ran it into the ground.

That's enough!

We're the ones feeding this county.

Because we understand our business.

Because we don't let party bigwigs like you interfere.

Comrade Mader, we understand your anger - You...

will never again call me comrade!

I'm warning you.

Berlin wants to see more progress.

Other districts are 100% co-op, and we're way behind.

Pressure alone won't do it.

If we force our farmers to join, they'll leave for the West.

At least we'd be rid of the troublemakers.

They're our best farmers, the only ones who bring in a good harvest.

Are you badmouthing our co-op?

Which you helped build? - Of course not, but...

we can't ignore reality.

Nonsense! - It's not nonsense!

Each month, thousands leave the country.

If we keep this up, the only thing left will be the exodus to Marienfelde.

Friedrich, you belittle us! Anna is right!

Besides, who runs this co-op?

Me. - Yes!

Then start doing your work.

I'm doing my work, don't worry.

A co-op without farmers is not a co-op!

Friedrich.

I don't get you. How can you agree with him?

I think he is right.

We can't make any exceptions. - Anna.

This has nothing to do with social justice

or what we've fought for all these yean.

It'll be hard and it'll take time, that's what you always said.

But we will succeed.

What do you think I should do?

Otto Mader's fields are very close to the border

What have you done with my Emil?

You there! Get out of here.

I'm the grandfather

Stay behind the barrier - I'm the grandfather!

Leave. - What happened here?

Now get out of here! Move it!

What about the crates?

They're confiscated.

This is Albrecht Stieglitz.

There...

There's been an incident.

Yes.

Mr von Striesow?

Excuse me, Count, you should check on Arthur

What is it?

I don't know. He was in the woods, his jacket's torn.

He wouldn't eat. All he did was cy.

Arthur

What's wrong? What happened? Tell me.

Are you hurt?

Emil...

Were you there? In the woods?

Daddy...

Did I not tell you the old bunker isn't a playground?

We were just playing there, - You won't go there again!

Do you hear me?

You're not to play with those children. Do you hear?

Thank God nothing happened to you.

Now get washed up and brush your teeth.

Bye.

See you tomorrow.

Good night.

Where were you?

What's wrong with Karl?

Your mother instructed you to look after your siblings.

Mother?

Karl will get well again.

I asked you something.

Emil is dead.

You didn't look after him.

Here's a glass of water

The crates are from the Americans.

Dead certain.

And who's mixed up in it?

The count, that damned Striesow.

And me?

Why don't I know about it?

He killed my grandson.

That Striesow.

No, Franz, no.

A grenade killed him. It wasn't the count.

No.

Alright, and now you go to bed.

Come on.

To your own bed, that is.

Where are the confiscated crates?

We have them. - We'll take over, you can go home.

Those were Wehrmacht grenades, got it? You never saw the crates.

Stand down.

Stand down!

MOVE TO THE FOLLOWING POSITION...

MINISTRY FOR STATE SECURITY - EAST BERLIN

Comrade Leonhardt, we have something.

We intercepted and decoded this...

We suspect hostile activity at the border between East Germany and Bavaria.

Yes.

Then log the new location. - We already did.

Look, we've located it here.

The next village is... Tannbach.

Do we already have a name?

Good evening, Count Striesow.

Vöckler - Or should I say, Albrecht Stieglitz?

What do you want here? Get lost.

Or should I have the Americans arrest you?

I'm your new liaison officer

You're my wife's murderer

Do you really think I'd take orders

from you?

Indeed you will.

What do you want? - Hello, Otto.

What is it?

The security corridor will be expanded to 60 feet.

You will keep the clearance distance and push those planting areas back.

Says who? - Says Berlin.

And you can tell Berlin to kiss my ass. This is my property.

Otto?

I advise you to respect the ordinance. - Or what?

Will I be shot down from my tractor? By him, perhaps?

Or you'll face punishment.

Your land will be confiscated.

You think you can threaten me?

With him?

No one's threatening you.

Do you even know

who that is?

l I saw how he shot the Jews him and his people.

What are you talking about?

You come here with your brother's murderer,

thinking you can threaten me.

It was your brother, wasn't it?

Lothar

Is that true?

God is my witness.

Prantl?

Is it true?

Is it true?

What do you think we do here all day?

Protecting the border It's an order

And we're carrying it out.

You're not welcome here.

On a day like this.

My grandson's dead because of you. You!

You're to blame for his death. - Father, stop.

Not today.

Major Striesow.

My condolences.

The last time I held him in my arms...

Emil was seven yean old.

Not even now can I cross.

Mother..

I'm so sorry.

Move away from the fence.

I said, away from the fence!

You're such a joke.

She's your daughter too.

Where've you been? Must I do it all on my own?

Walter and I are quitting. - What?

You can't. You'll get yourself in trouble.

There's enough to do here. - All of a sudden!

Have you lost it? - A child has died, Cilly. 12 years old.

Torn to pieces.

Yes, I know.

They're burying weapons in the woods. Not the Russians, our men!

The idiots are playing war

And we won't be part of it anymore. - He's right.

It stinks to high heaven. - Listen...

We're doing well.

We don't ask questions, and we keep quiet. OK?

And now help me. They'll be here shortly.

It was awful. Poor Theresa.

But of course everyone keeps quiet,

even though the warmongers in Bonn and Washington are clearly to blame.

What's wrong, Friedrich?

Anna, we have to talk.

Anna, there you are.

You have a visitor

From Gera.

Later, alright, Friedrich?

Your wife is getting a commendation.

Cost me a couple of calls, but apparently it worked.

What's wrong?

Mader

Friedrich, someone like that responds only to pressure.

Go on then, don't let up on him.

Alright then...

Adolph!

Of course it's true.

I saw it with my own eyes.

The police say it was unexploded Wehrmacht munitions.

I already told you, they were American M-26s.

Brand-new hand grenades. Dead sure.

The Americans are buying grenades?

And why?

Ask the count.

He was there right after it happened.

Why the questions, Gustl?

Gustl is working. - For that rag in Bayreuth.

I know, Father - He's a newspaper man.

A real journalist, right Gustl?

Earns good money.

But you won't write about Emil, you hear?

And you decide? - I'm his father, damn it.

I'll kill you if I see a story about him.

That I'd like to see.

So why are American weapons buried in our forest?

Why?

The Russkies are 150 feet away.

Isn't that reason enough? - Stop.

If it were up to me, the whole Eastern zone would be mined,

and the reds blown to pieces.

Franz!

Please leave. It's a private function.

My dear family, I know.

My condolences. - You're not welcome here.

I just want to offer my brother and sister-in-law my sincere sympathy.

You may. And you did.

And now leave.

I'd like a room. - Get lost, Horst.

Some hospitality. I thought this was a guesthouse.

Easy now.

Not so rough.

Get out.

What does your group have to do with Emil's death?

It was a tragic accident.

Tragic accident! You all should be locked up.

Erwin Fichte,

you're a good man.

For yean you bravely defended this border

But the Communist is the enemy, and you know it!

I won't lie for you.

You will continue to defend this village, its women and children.

This is ours!

A message for you.

Thank you.

DEAR GEORG, WE HAVE TO MEET.

TONIGHT AT 11 PM AT THE CEMnERY, FRIEDRICH

Are you coming to dinner, Daddy? - No.

You eat. I have to go somewhere. - I want you to stay.

Then you'll go to bed.

Come along.

Gerlinde will read you something.

In Baikanur, Russia,

the new generation of intercontinental missiles is stationed.

With the further development of the R-7,

a ballistic missile with a range of 5,50O miles,

the Soviet Union Follows the Americans

who stationed the first intercontinental missiles already in 1957.

Mer President Eisenhower...

Don't you want to go to bed?

Christa, open up! I need to use the toilet.

...who now have their own intercontinental missile.

What's wrong?

I need to use the toilet, and she won't open up.

Christa. - Christa!

Hold on.

I really have to go!

Come on, let your sister in.

What is it now?

Nothing.

Use Grandma's bathroom downstairs.

Christa, open the door, right now! - In a moment.

Who do you think you are?

I'm not dressed.

Out with you!

What's this?

What sort of filthiness is this?

It's just to make the pants tighter

You won't walk around looking like the town harlot!

Leave me alone!

I'll teach you some decency.

You won't push me, you bastard!

Heinrich, you're drunk! Stop it!

Go to your room.

You don't leave the house for six weeks.

I don't take orders from you.

What has gotten into you?

This won't bring Emil back to life.

I can't do anything right by him.

Emil was 12, Mother

He didn't need anyone to look after him.

He always loved him the most.

More than he loved me.

He was proud of him.

Emil was to inherit the farm.

But he loves all of you the same.

That's not true.

I know that's not true. - Christa...

Who is my father?

Please tell me.

What are you talking about?

The Frenchman.

Who is he?

Who is talking such nonsense?

Everyone.

People in town.

Didn't you hear Father?

Just look at me!

Anyone can see how different I look.

His name was Philipp.

I don't even know if he's still alive.

Christa wasn't where she should have been.

It was an accident, Heinrich.

No one is to blame.

She lied to me.

Not for the first time.

She's one big lie.

With every day that passes it becomes more and more obvious.

That's how it was.

Prantl's men shot him.

I simply can't believe it.

He executed Lothar

Right in front of Erwin and Walter

Your mother told you back then.

That can't be.

Lisbeth mentioned it in her letters. She writes you regularly, right?

No.

She wrote dozens of letters.

No wonder they're all leaving in droves.

You have to talk to Anna.

She's firmly convinced that Lothar was killed by our people.

I can't.

Then I will.

I'm in Berlin on business next week.

Come to the western sector with Anna.

Friedrich, please.

I can't do that to Anna. Her world would collapse.

Talk to her!

Where were you so long?

I had to take care of something.

Otto Mader is a troublemaker

Don't let it get to you, Friedrich.

It's not that.

Whatever happens, we'll stick together

Just imagine how nice...

I won an award today, with prize money.

Congratulations.

Let's use it to go on vacation, maybe to Prague?

Or Berlin? - Or Berlin.

I love you.

Let's go to sleep, OK?

Look, Daddy, your friend Ron gave me a real Swiss Army knife.

You go to bed, Arthur - Arthur is a fantastic chess player

Next time we'll finish the game, OK?

Promise? - I promise.

What do you want, Colonel?

Why do you come here unannounced?

Your cover's blown, Stieglitz.

Everyone in this town knows.

We need to deactivate you.

You have the gall to hire my wife's murderer?

It was war

As a young officer, he was carrying out orders.

And you?

How many people did you have shot, Colonel?

300? 400?

More?

We were in Russia.

Surrounded by partisans.

Yes.

Many of them women, children, the elderly.

Too many.

You have to destroy your transmitter station.

We're in the middle of the Cold War

And that Vöckler is very valuable to us.

Yet another SS man in the intelligence service.

And a national-thinking German,

a staunch anti-Communist...

like you.

NATO needs everyone in this war

You'll be hearing from us.

I'm connecting you now.

I can't hear you.

I'll put you through. - Alright.

Yes, I'll put you through.

Just a moment.

12 YEAR-OLD DIES UNDER MYSTEMOUS CIRCUMSTANCES

Who is G.S.?

Gustav Schober

A small-time journalist at the local newspaper

Father is Franz Schober, Nazi, revanchist,

chairman of the Association of Expellees.

That radio transmission, and the explosion are connected.

Don't forget the former war criminal and Nazi Striesow.

All in this village.

Hey.

Why haven't I gotten mail from my mother in four yean?

How should I know?

Maybe she doesn't write you anymore.

And my children?

Not a single parcel?

Friedrich, why the odd questions?

Who shot my brother in '52?

A West German border guard, as you know. - Hubekus Prantl disagrees.

Careful, Friedrich.

Be careful.

If I find out you had anything to do with my brother's death,

I'll kill you with my own hands.

Good morning! - Are you fighting again?

Outside are 12 mothers with kids.

Britta and Marlies left for the West last night.

Unbelievable.

I'll take care of it. - Just let it go, the two of you...

Good evening. - Evening.

Is there a message for me?

No, Mr von Striesow, I'm sorry. - Thank you.

I don't know whom you're waiting for,

but I don't think anyone's coming.

I'd like to close up soon.

Can I get one more?

Perhaps you'd like a drink too?

You shouldn't drink when you're unhappy.

To your health.

If your own daughter stands you up...

I guess I've made a lot of mistakes.

That's the first step in the right direction.

You praise my self-reflection.

It's not vey common.

It's normally the others who are to blame.

Cheers.

To your health.

Here.

Well, then...

Good night.

One last drink?

It's a secret.

Yes.

Vey good.

But don't say anything, OK? - OK.

Alright then.

You have to look vey closely.

Perfect. Look deep into the surface.

I can't see anything.

mEnrNc? nrvEn cAFEUR, 11 Am

So you live in East Berlin and work evenings in the West?

Yes, I live in Prenzlauer Berg.

I work at the bar in Charlottenburg three times a week.

I'm actually a trained retail saleswoman.

I'm vey good at selling.

I live in 'Little Berlin#

Never heard of it.

Or is that just a code name because you work for the Americans?

No, it's a small village in Bavaria.

Right on the border

Where all the old Nazis are.

Sure, that's what you learn in the East.

At least we know who was a Nazi.

In the East they camouflage as good Communists.

Perhaps you're right.

But seriously, where do you live?

In Tannbach.

Never heard of it.

I never made it beyond Sacrow. Can't afford it.

By the way...

My name is Rosemarie Czerni.

Georg Striesow,

capitalist and profiteer

An honest answer, at least.

Why don't you visit my little Berlin.

The Socialist agricultural transformation

is the sacred responsibility of the young German 0emocrafi'c Republic,

says Walter Ulbricht.

Let us work together to fulfil the collectivisation.

Get out of here! We don't want you here!

Get out of here! - Let us not rest

until egotism and greed are overcome.

t Comrades

don't be capitalist stooges.

What's going on?

Stand up against egotism... - What is this?

...and the exploitation of the working class. - Turn it off!

Who sent you?

Why the hypocritical question?

Who runs the co-op? - Otto,

I have nothing to do with this, really.

Get out of here, I'm telling you. Get lost!

You son of a bitch! - Otto, wait, let's talk...

Get lost!

And take your damned agitation with you!

Come children, let's go.

Just great.

What are you standing around for? Pack up and move out!

Shit!

That's enough, Helmut.

Well, Friedrich?

You still believe we can't do without riff-raff like Otto Mader?

Yes, I do.

We're digging our own grave, if we keep this up.

Did you send them to Mader's farm?

I just wanted to help.

You underestimate this. We have to report compliance.

We're the last ones in all the district. - What do you mean "we"?

I'm still running this co-op.

For now, Friedrich, for now.

Hello, Anna. - Hi.

What happened?

Nothing. - Was it Otto Mader?

Friedrich?

You can't put up with it.

This has to be disinfected.

He should go over to the revanchists... - Hannah, stop!

I can't take it anymore.

Can you tell me what's wrong?

I have to think.

Hello, Lisa.

If Mader and Höfler stop delivering too, that's it,

there'll be nothing left to buy.

But you and your cadre at the top know what to do.

Are you talking about me?

On the other side, they have everything.

Then import it if we're too dumb over here.

Hello, Pastor - Hello.

Are you closed?

We're all sold out.

Hello, Mrs Erler - Hello.

But we still have milk. - That would be great.

Thank you.

How is your family doing?

Fine, thanks. - Glad to hear it.

We have a children's service every other Sunday.

You're welcome to come. - Thank you.

Here you go.

Thanks.

Pastor, will we get a bell soon as well?

We're working on it.

Anna just won a prize

for all that she does for the parish and the children.

Maybe she can help with the bell. Anna?

What do you think?

The parish will manage.

Thank you.

Have a nice day. Thanks.

Good bye.

This can't go on much longer, Anna.

Gerlinde.

Good that you're back, Count.

Everything alright? - Arthur won't leave his room.

Even though I made him meatballs.

Did you have a nice trip?

Yes.

Arthur?

Arthur, I'm back. Will you open up, please?

I told you not to lock yourself in.

With whom are you playing chess? - With myself.

That's Emil.

And that's what happens when the Russians come.

Why don't you play with your friends?

I don't have any friends.

Arthur, please.

You're the one who told me to stay away from Schober's farm.

Come on, we're having meatballs.

Arthur, come on!

Hello.

The Mader family.

Hello everyone. Welcome.

Hello. - Good morning.

Welcome.

Let's hand out the books.

Now all we need is a bell, Pastor

Yes, when the tower is finished. Welcome, Lisa.

Good bye, dear

Bye. - Come, children.

Can't I stay with Father? - No, you're coming with us.

Go on.

Come on, we're late. - I don't want to go to church.

It won't be so bad.

I want you to behave, OK?

In times of hardship

Let our merciful God

Spread out his wings above you

Dear Parish,

we all know it.

That feeling of powerlessness.

That feeling of being subject to foreign powers

who are spreading nothing but violence and unrest.

Only a week ago, Emil Schober fell victim to mindless militarization,

and we mourned with his grandmother

Dear Parish,

that feeling of powerlessness grips us when we touch the field

that is to be taken from us.

With our home, we lose not only our past,

we also lose our future.

More and more give up hope, look for happiness elsewhere,

like once the children of Israel in Canaan.

I think we've heard enough. - Shh!

What kind of country is it

of which the messengers of Moses report that milk and honey flow?

Where is this county today?

Perhaps simply on the other side of the street?

Perhaps simply on the other side of the fence?

The spies are among us.

What does milk and honey stand for today? Why can't it be something

that we seek and find within our community?

An idea, dear Parish.

It's not about our ideas

of Capitalism and Socialism.

It's about God's idea within us.

And God's idea is peace.

Amen.

Amen.

My cousin Mathilde invited me.

The one from the East, whose son is Pastor?

She wanted to attend the funeral, but they didn't let her

Keep them Socialists where they are.

I won't set one foot on the other side. - You're not invited.

What's that supposed to mean?

That I can go alone.

Out of the question.

Come on, Franz!

I won't allow it, and that's that. No discussion.

Children, dig in!

Enjoy the meal.

Christa, what's wrong?

Steak, liver, kidney, that's the best part of a deer

You can't leave that on your plate.

I have a stomach ache.

I just can't eat.

You have it too good.

You don't know what hunger is,

how people had to eat tree bark and lichen

because there was nothing else.

You'll stay seated until you've finished.

She said her stomach hurt.

Eat!

We'll fix that.

She belongs in the correctional home, if you ask me.

But no one is asking you.

Come, come!

Look! Give it to him.

Good boy!

Kathi! - Yes?

Where's my jacket? - Where it always is.

Good boy. That'll do.

But it's not there.

You can get up now.

I'll go look for it.

Herder is agitating again.

He spoke of peace and reconciliation, Gerda.

Over there is the land of milk and honey? - You weren't listening.

To tolerate the alienation of worldly existence,

the oppressed seek solace in hope for the afterlife.

Religion can thus be seen as opium of the people.

Hey there. - Hey.

What are you waiting for, God's help?

There's no diesel.

What do you mean, no diesel?

No diesel for you, Otto.

Not here, or anywhere else.

Erler!

Erler!

I won't be blackmailed.

What are you talking about? - Don't put me on!

Mader..

Otto!

Without diesel, I can't drive to the dairy.

I can't get rid of my milk! - Mader, get out!

Now!

Who decided this?

Behind my back! Who?

Otto?

Otto, wait!

You might not believe me, but I'm really sorry about all this.

You're right, I don't believe you.

Mr Schneider!

Please get two cans of diesel from the storeroom.

Otto, we would be willing

to make an exception for you and some of the other Tannbach farmers.

You'll get all the co-op benefits.

All you have to do is contribute your land.

The animals and the machinery stay with you.

You only want to steal half?

And I'm supposed to be grateful?

Otto, we don't mean you any harm.

Two canisters.

Otto?

You ordered a Wartburg, right?

Why?

I'd ensure that the car is delivered quickly.

You'd have it next year at Christmas.

My family has lived here for generations.

We turned over ever piece of soil with our own hands.

Do you really think I'd trade my birth right for a bucket of bolts?

And if I have to pull the plow myself.

The only way I'm leaving my farm is feet first.

Get in.

That's an order

Wait around the corner

Have you read?

Your brother writes about a "secret army"

and "arms caches of the Western forces."

I'll take care of it.

And you finally destroy your transmitter station.

Good evening, Count. - Gerlinde.

Will your visitor be staying overnight?

She's just causing disarray and interfering with my work.

Is dinner ready?

But of course.

Arthur - Hello, Dad.

This dusty old place could use some fresh air

Hello.

Disarray is all she's good for

Thanks.

You don't have to serve me. Have a seat and eat with us.

Bon appetit.

This isn't a restaurant.

She is paid well for it.

But she cooks for us. She shouldn't eat alone in the kitchen.

Let her do what she's used to.

Otherwise she feels patronized.

And Arthur?

He already ate.

May I?

I guess things are different here.

It's the old school.

A beer and a schnapps, please. - Yes.

I asked Erwin again. Not a chance. You should ask him yourself.

You have no business here.

We're not behind the Iron Curtain. Bring me a beer

Good evening, brother

Writing the sequel to your cock-and-bull story?

The Americans are training you to blow up utility poles

and set fire to barns.

That's how far I am with my research.

Of course only in the case of a Soviet invasion.

If you write that...

it's treason and you'll go to jail for yean.

Thanks for the confirmation.

Erwin? Will you come here, please?

One last time: If you value your life and the security of this county,

you won't publish that.

Don't be ridiculous.

Ever heard of freedom of the press, or the constitution?

Get lost, you bastard.

Easy now.

You won't publish it.

Gustl. - Leave me alone and bring me a schnapps!

Good morning, Mrs Herder

Hello.

Hello, Mrs Erler

What can I do for you? - I have a private question.

Rolf, ty to start it now.

It should work now.

Would you like a coffee?

Real coffee, I mean. The Church sends it to us.

No comparison to the local swill. - Sure.

Do you play the piano?

Sure you do, you're a née Countess Striesow.

Raised with Bach and Beethoven.

Don't tell me you stopped with 'Für Elise.'

Milk, sugar? - Milk, please.

Thanks. - You're welcome.

What can I do for you, Mrs. Erler?

Is this about my recent sermon?

What makes you think so?

I was surprised to see you at church.

You're a freshly decorated party member

No one is forced to give up their faith.

Of course.

Just as no one is forced to give up their field

or to wear the blue handkerchief.

What can I do for you?

My son is baptized.

I'm thinking about having my daughters baptized.

I'm still undecided.

My husband is very skeptical, but...

Your party doctrine doesn't reconcile with our faith?

Weren't you once in the Communist Party, Pastor?

If you know, then why do you ask?

Please confirm to Comrade Hermann that I was a member in Hanover

until the Party was banned,

that I collected signatures against re-armament with Niemeyer,

and that I came here after my wife's death

because I can't give up the hope that peace is possible.

I don't have enough diesel.

I can't drive to the dairy.

Dad...

You have to keep going.

We're going to the other side.

You go ahead with your sisters and your mother, and I'll follow.

I'll get you the passes.

And you promise me to take good care of mother and your sisters.

OK? - Yes.

Now go.

I can't change it.

Be reasonable and leave.

Give me that. You too!

I can't help it. What am I supposed to do?

Go home and ty again tomorrow.

Lisa?

What's going on? - I've got nothing!

No cheese, no butter, not even milk!

Mader isn't delivering. You just keep it up!

This is a disgrace.

The head of the mail order firm is Rudolf Lorenz.

He owes me a favour And his company is doing well.

He's looking for good buyers. - Then my chances are good.

The problem is, how do I get there? - I can drive you.

Can you lend me a car?

"Best saleswoman of the year"

I like that.

"Exceeded sales targets."

But in all seriousness...

What did you have in mind, Mrs...

Ms. Czerni?

Rosemarie Czerni.

I know what people need even before they do.

I see. Interesting.

Well, fashion must be wearable, no doubt. - You should produce with us...

I mean, I think you'd do better to produce in the East.

Take your catalogue. Look...

Here.

Here, for example.

We'll remove the frills

and give the apron a feminine simplicity.

Instead of linen, we use a cotton-polyester blend.

It doesn't wrinkle, and it's much cheaper

Or these dresses: two tucks one on the waist, one on the back,

and you have a slimmer profile. Women love that.

Or this:

Looks like a gift-wrapped pancake.

A hat like that doesn't sell.

Well... I'm impressed.

But I'm afraid I still can't hire you.

You're single.

Yes, but I don't understand.

You have all my documents in front of you.

And your references are vey good.

You come from the Eastern zone.

The good count already told me that.

You need someone to marry, not just to vouch for you.

A husband.

I have to get married so I can work?

For a job with such responsibility, that is customary here.

Well...

Nice of you to come by.

That's just crazy.

During the war, we women ran household and family.

Worked, had babies raised them, cleared rubble.

And built up all of this. And you are not only filthy rich...

you're one of those... - What?

One of those counts. High aristocracy.

You only cavort with your kind.

That was before the war - No matter

In the East I can work as much as I want, doing what I want,

and in this county, with no husband, cleaning is the best I can do.

That's how it is.

Why would I want my wife to work?

I earn enough for everyone. - Your wife? I'm not your wife.

Indeed you aren't.

Georg, you don't think that I would... - What?

Get married?

Over here it's usually the man who proposes,

but since you're asking me...

Karl?

You can't always be at the cemetery.

Please, let's go home.

But then Emil will be so lonely.

Go over to him. Go on.

Give it a go!

Care to dance?

Does your father know you're here?

I ran away from home.

Christa, I have to take you home. - No.

Won't you get in trouble with your dad?

Heinrich can't order me around.

One beer, please.

You know you shouldn't be here.

Is she your girl?

What's it to you?

She's pretty.

If you're looking for Gustl...

he's not here.

I'll be waiting for you.

Cilly!

Yes?

It's after 10 pm.

Turn off that nigger music!

You little bastard, this was the last time you disobeyed.

I can walk on my own.

Walter!

Walter!

Father doesn't care about me. - He does as long as you're a disgrace.

Your father can hardly wait to see that slutty outfit of yours.

And why doesn't he come himself? - We're leaving.

Mother!

Mother!

Did you have these people come, Franz?

Send them away. You don't have the right.

Go away!

There's no need for this.

I'm in charge on this farm.

Oh, so it was you?

Better late than never - Go back inside.

I won't allow it. She's my child!

What kind of people are you? - Go!

Please, don't.

I promise, I'll do anything you want.

Get in. - Please!

Please! - Get in!

You're becoming a man after all.

It's better for her

Now leave, will you?

Why are you harassing me?

Why?

Why have you come?

It's a free county.

You're not welcome here.

You're a pervert.

Think about it, Gustl.

Those people are dangerous.

Who knows if any paper will even print it.

If the Bavarians don't print it...

I'll go to the reds.

To Augstein, to Spiegel. There might be Nazis there too,

but they'll make it a title story, that's for sure.

Alright.

Here we are. We'll be eating shortly.

Kathi?

We're hungry!

Kathi?

What the hell?

"I'm on the other side. Enjoy your meal."

Stop. Papers, passports.

Good morning, K3thi.

I'm off to my cousin's. - All the best.

Bye. - She does it every week.

We have to catch them. - Stop!

Calm down!

Come on, help us!

You're having a crisis, Friedrich. It'll pass.

It won't pass.

Not as long as we keep lying to ourselves.

We have a wall in front of our house.

Because people are running away.

And we're failing.

No sense in sugar coating it.

Come, quick.

Something's up with Mader

Friedrich?

He's set all his animals free.

Unbelievable.

This way, there's smoke.

Anna.

Get help.

Get help!

Keep calm!

Friedrich!

Fire alarm? What's happened?

Mader's farm is on fire.

Prantl!

Is anyone in there?

I don't know.

Mader!

Mader!

I'm going inside. - Are you crazy? Stay here!

Stay here!

Otto!

Is anyone in there? - I don't know.

Otto!

Come on, you have to get out of here.

Come on!

Okay, cut it.

Hey! Get away from there!

Prantl, be reasonable. Let them through.

We have to extinguish the fire.

Back off from the fence.

Back off, I said!

Friedrich!

Friedrich!

Hubertus, where's Friedrich?

Get back! - Let me go!

You can't go in there. - My husband's in there. Friedrich!

Friedrich! - You can't go in.

Please! Friedrich! - You can't.

Anna!
