Modern Art.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen.

Until the seizure of power the National Socialists

has it in Germany given such modern art.

So that means, as it already does lies in the essence of this word,

almost every year a different one.

National Socialist Germany but again wants a German art,

and this should and will,

like all creative values of a people, to be an eternal one.

But is she lacking one? Eternal value for our people,

then she is today too without higher value.

The German woman is mocked and equated with prostitutes.

The soldier becomes a murderer and senseless sacrifice

in the sense of a Bolshevist Class struggle shown.

The people should the deep-rooted respect

before the soldier's bravery

to be expelled.

And the madness, the mental illness, becomes a principle.

Really needs to be accepted

that there are men who do today's figures of our people

only to see as rotten cretins?

The most basic Meadows blue, sky green,

Clouds sulfur yellow and so on,

or, as she might say, "experience"?

There are only two options.

Either these so-called artists

really see things like that

and therefore believe in that, what they represent.

Then it would only be necessary to investigate whether her eye defects due to an accident

or by inheritance have come about.

In a case deeply regrettable for these unfortunate,

in the second important for the Reich Ministry of Interior,

which would then have the task at least one more inheritance

such gruesome blurred vision to prevent.

Or they do not believe themselves to the reality of these impressions,

but try for other reasons,

the nation to bother with this humbug.

Then such an offense will fall in the field of criminal justice.

What does this have to do with art? How does it lift the soul?

What does that have to do with ability? Because "art" comes from "can".

I think you could too.

Yes, yes, you could. try it.

And when you're done, then you ask your parents,

if they give you a dime for it.

Do you know what she is, Mr. Wassily Paid Kandinsky for it?

- 2000 marks. - What?

More than the annual salary a German worker.

What is your dad doing?

- Grade he has no work. - Oh.

2000 marks from taxpayers' money the working German population.

We will take care that just the people ...

Maybe I want but not a painter.

Do not tell anyone, but I like it.

Aunt Elisabeth, did you see how they looked at you?

On monday will be here no one have eyes for me.

Since all will cheer only the leader.

- Good day. - I think you're better than Hitler.

- Good day. - Good day. A trip with your nephew?

-Thank you.

- I wish a good trip. - Thank you.

There in front. There was our apartment.

What's wrong with you? most to Dresden?

Sometimes it helps to name it exactly.

I know who you are missing.

The girl with the fiery red braids.

What's the name again? Johanna?

- Johanna, right? Your lovers? - Mm.

- no? - Not just Johanna.

- Who else is missing? - The Schröder's.

You know?

- The old couple in our house. - Mm.

The ones who always adhere to the Hold hands. Like little kids.

I like the. And the dachshund Thilo.

Whenever I have the call, he came to me.

It's only 45 kilometers from us to Dresden.

You can visit her so often Up to you.

Hm?

Of course you are right. Dresden is simply unbeatable.

You know what?

I think your father is very strong. That he does not join.

A signature,

and he would have his place as a teacher and can keep the apartment.

Daddy thinks it's criminal like the Nazis ...

Sch, well, I know.

That's how you speak to nobody else, right?

Mum says she will still join him.

The membership then is his capitol.

His capital.

- Goodbye, Miss May. - Goodbye.

Stop it for a moment.

Aunt Elisabeth, did you forget something?

Hey, Eddie. There is little May again.

- Let's do her the favor. - Karl, ready?

- Well. - at the same time.

Good, on three. One two Three.

Take care.

Thank you.

To paint a picture, that feels like this ...

That's what they're trying these degenerate artists.

Oh Elisabeth, again too late. And how you look!

Chest out. Chin up.

You.

First row. Come over.

You will give him the bouquet.

Salvation! Salvation!

Salvation!

Salvation! Salvation!

Salvation! Salvation! Salvation!

Salvation! Salvation!

Salvation! Salvation! Salvation!

Do not look away.

Never look away, Kurt.

Everything that is true is beautiful.

This sound ...

This is the whole power of music.

- Of life. - Of the whole universe.

People are looking for the cosmic formula.

But here she is.

Here.

Do you hear the?

The two-pointed A at the Blüthner Piano of the Mays in Großschönau.

And now that I know him ...

I can play it everywhere.

On the table.

Do you hear?

Even on my head.

- Aunt Elisabeth, you are bleeding. - even on my head.

Elisabeth.

What are you doing there?

A concert for the leader.

Obsession with youth? That sounds almost sympathetic.

"Schizophrenia", "youth mania". I can hear that.

But I think it's nothing

what a little break could not cure.

- A break... - In an institution, yes.

Can not we do it? try at home?

She has learned very hard for high school and went straight to the office.

Elisabeth?

Maybe she is just overworked.

Is that your wife?

You do not like her, right? I can see that from how you stand there.

Elisabeth.

Wait outside, until we finish talking.

I will not say that again.

Since schizophrenia is hereditary, I am obliged to ask:

Are there any more cases? of mental illness in your family?

For God's sake, no.

Depressions? - We are all happy.

We doctors are the guards on the bank of the hereditary stream.

I have to report that to the health department.

The decision about the briefing may not be yours.

Dr. Michaelis ...

Franz.

I already knew your parents. Even the grandparents.

You're welcome.

Do not report it.

Because it is you, Mrs. May.

But say it if that Condition worsens, yes?

- Goodbye. - Hail Hitler.

- Yes, of course, Heil Hitler. - Hail Hitler.

Mediation.

Please join me with the health department.

- Goodbye, Günther. - Ms. May, we have to go.

- Take care. - We will miss you.

- It's only a few weeks. - We'll see each other soon.

Goodbye, Ehrenfried.

Goodbye. We will miss you.

I do not want to, Mom.

Kurt, go back inside.

Kurt.

- I do not want to! - On the legs.

No!

- Do you have it? - Yes.

No!

Come over.

So, keep still.

It's pretty quiet right now.

Scopolamine works fast.

Yes, buckle up.

- The suitcase. - Oh, of course.

- These are her things. - Yes / Yes.

Never look away.

My dear colleagues.

I want to congratulate you.

The weakest percent of the German people

has been since the introduction of the law made infertile.

400,000.

A proud number.

A contribution to the Aufartung,

future generations to be thanked.

I now have the hope that one day

to live in a world

in which the streets are completely free of Mongolians, mental patients

and other freaks.

But now it seems to me time to switch to the next gear.

Also due to the English airstrikes

we have an increased need at alternative hospitals.

We can not let you that you are a German soldier

a hospital place denied,

just because he cares for the care and bad life is used.

How can we help? What can we do?

Thank you for this question, Carl.

Gentlemen,

They will not be just anymore Doctors and SS men.

They become appraisers of the Heritage Health Court.

What does that mean?

Well, a patient, you made barren

and its template you provided with a blue minus sign,

remains in the asylum.

But if we are here find a red plus,

do we understand that it is unworthy life,

and this patient will be in one of three institutions

in the easternmost part of the empire

and there released from his senseless existence.

Your pen.

Your sword.

Investigation and preliminary discussion. Elisabeth May, 23 years old.

Why do you think you are here?

Because sometimes not quite right think.

Do you know what kind of clinic I manage?

A gynecological clinic.

A dear girl, your daughter.

I can see that in the picture.

Not really much artistic talent.

Maybe you are rather happy. But a lot of heart.

He is very talented.

I go with him in exhibitions. To promote him.

Well.

Then please lie down in the next room on the examination chair.

For weeks I want an appointment. I will not be answered!

Mr. Lohse-Wächtler.

They asked me: "Do you want that, your daughter's suffering

Very quiet.

It would have been better, you would not have seen that.

- I am of healthy descent. - Three reviewers see it differently.

- No! - Sit down again.

You're going to the examination room now and afterwards in the OP.

And you will cooperate there.

Otherwise we'll have you strapped

And do not forget the greeting. "Hail Hitler".

If you can not get it over the lips, does it also a fast "three liters".

That does not notice any sow.

And none of it, that you always paint. And certainly nothing of these nudes.

The same photographer? No one has asked him.

Hail Hitler.

Three liters.

We are announced for a visit. For Elisabeth May.

He wishes you with him "Professor".

Agreed, Professor.

Where is Burghard Kroll?

- Who? - Burghard Kroll.

The boss of the Reichs-Arbeitsgemeinschaft.

We know about your meeting in Berlin.

I do not know what you are talking about. I do not know the Lord.

I still do not know him.

If my child not born healthy,

does it then deserve to die?

There is only limited space and limited resources on this earth.

Who should have that? The sick or the healthy?

Soon will be on this earth at least one more place available.

Here the ball! Come on do it!

You did not specify whether you were a party member.

Were you a party member?

- Mr. Director, I was very long ... - Yes or no, Mr. Barnert?

Yes.

But I'm not a Nazi.

I mean, three quarters of all teachers were in the party.

We want the remaining quarter entrust the youth. Good day.

I'm hot.

And stop!

Comrade?

Comrade!

- What? - The pains break bring her no peace.

The child is wrong. It can not come out.

As?

Call the interpreter. Immediately.

He is sceptical. He asks why you want to help.

I want to help because I can.

You can leave.

A gypsy told me ahead ... I will not have any children.

That is destiny...

Cross, please. Lay them across.

Which week?

- 36. - blood pressure?

-110 to 70.

How could I believe that I can have children?

Tell her, a child will definitely have her.

And if she wants then many more.

The child is lying across.

During labor is the Uterus too hard to turn it.

I will open the amniotic sac.

In a breather break I turn the child then.

I am a military interpreter.

Make.

Gloves.

The vodka, please.

Do not touch.

We do it without anesthesia.

I already have a leg.

Let's wait for the next woe.

I put my forefinger in the child's mouth.

I put my chin on the chest off ...

and slowly pull your head out.

A young, a healthy boy ...

Alexander Mikhailovich.

And a healthy, gorgeous mother.

I congratulate you, Major.

Who saves a life, save the whole world.

You saved my world,

Professor.

Nobody will bend a hair for you.

You are standing now under my personal protection.

Set up for the professor the guestroom is ...

... and give him decent clothes.

Father, you have to do not worry anymore.

I understood. I understood.

- What? What did you understand? - Everything. Everything.

How everything is connected. That everything is connected.

Everything.

The world formula.

I...

I never have to worry again. I never need to be afraid again.

I am untouchable.

- That's nice. - No, father, you do not understand.

You have to do not worry anymore. Really.

I do not even have to become an artist anymore. I can take any job.

And I will always be right to find the true

I'm glad for you, really.

I have to hold it.

I have to hold it somehow.

I understood.

I know who you think.

But he is different.

- Good morning, father. - Good morning, my boy.

The registration, colleague.

Do you do that, to make you feel better than us?

- What? - The.

Draw the shapes freehand, while we struggle with templates.

Do you want to show us? Why are you doing this?

I do it because I can.

Have you been waiting for a long time?

Then take care. Until tomorrow.

You can also take the pins with you, if you bring her back.

In January, the applications are running for the art academy.

I am satisfied with this work.

What shoud that?

Does that help the worker?

Gives your father strength when stair cleaning?

You want to help him.

You even have him get the job.

Have a lot of shit, right?

But does it help you to revel in it?

Does that help build a world in which your children are better off?

That's what communism is about.

I will support your application.

At the art academy the girls are prettier than here.

So she wrote to him ...

Can you see,

that someone here is all his vanity has left aside

and puts himself in the service of the cause, in the service of the people?

Work on your attitude. Work on your craft.

And the right art will be like arise by itself through you.

As a warning example I want you Pablo Picasso call ...

from that it gives strong realistic images,

the one real solidarity make clear to the working class ...

but very soon

in a decadent, obscene formalism has slipped.

Why?

Because he wanted to be considered a renewer, and not as a traditionalist.

Innovation, creative Independence, artistic freedom.

Words that are for an artist first of all tempting sound.

I i i.

But real freedom can only win a modern artist,

when he is in the service to the interests of the people.

The "me, me, me" leads only to bad luck.

It leads at best to be withheld

by decadent, rich collectors.

Exploiter of the workers, who enjoy it,

that they are with the people have nothing in common,

not even the art taste.

Decay, mysticism, pornography.

Empty forms, artificial constructions.

Spots, lines, balls, cones.

All this, to be considered a renewer?

Yes, it is new.

But it is also wrong.

And it's vain and stupid undemocratic, decadent.

Be different, gentlemen. Be different.

The hammer was earlier a little bit higher.

Yes, that's right, that was a bit further up.

Yes, a little bit more.

- So here? - And the left hand in the middle.

Yes exactly, and the right one was far ahead.

- Anything else. - Yes, continue.

One more piece.

- So? - Go on, go on.

Continue. Right forward.

Exactly. That's how it's done, right?

- Yes, that's how it works. - That's how it works.

Nah, it was not like that.

Let the nonsense.

He was a bit further up.

Nope. But below.

No, that was higher up.

Rauf

Down, up, down, up,

down, up.

Comrade Professor?

Comrade Professor, the youth here is totally crazy.

After all, I also wear here a big responsibility.

Yes, are we here in the kindergarten?

Yes, we seem that.

Hey, in fashion gives away a western pencils.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

- Thank you. - Gladly.

- 2 B. Thank you. - Hello, seriously.

- Great that you share that. - Yes of course.

- Greetings from me. - I will.

Michi.

Thank you, Elisabeth.

Never get your hopes up. It's mine.

Look, so you learn how to do it.

2B or 4B?

-N / A?

2B, but ...

I would much rather have an appointment with you.

Let's leave it with the pencil. - for sure?

For sure.

Your name is Elisabeth?

Do you want one too?

There are only 48 left.

Thank you.

A golden pheasant like you does not deserve an ordinary rifle.

Golden Pheasant?

- Yes. - I can not let that sit on me.

I feel the same way.

A walk?

Through the park?

So that my misjudgment can correct?

You wanted to talk to me.

Actually, I wanted take a walk with you.

Alright.

Then I'll just make conversation.

Socialist Realism.

Is that your thing?

Probably as well like yours the fashion of Lotte Ulbricht.

Why do you always look at me like that?

You remind me of someone.

Would you like to paint me?

I do not know...

Would you like me to tailor a suit?

I have to go home.

May I accompany you?

Only to the front door.

You take dance lessons?

I live here. The house is ours.

So wrong Do not you have the golden pheasant?

We were just lucky. Not a single bomb hit.

Before the war, she saw whole street like this.

Goodbye, Kurt.

Goodbye...

Elisabeth.

Can I call you somehow different? Do you have a nickname?

Actually, all of them call me Elisabeth.

"Actually" means just the opposite is true.

Alright.

My dad calls me Ellie.

Goodbye, Ellie.

Elisabeth.

Watch more. And more volume, yes?

You would have too take a little longer, Kurt.

Well.

Now is the end for today.

Ah yes, good. Good night.

Until tomorrow.

A gold pheasant as a worker?

You are my semester job now.

A suit. To you.

I'll never take that off again.

You are so pretty. That's almost unromantic.

It is far too easy to love you.

Do you love me?

Do you love me?

Otherwise it will not work for me.

Otherwise it will not work.

I love you.

Really?

Yes.

I love you.

I love you.

My parents.

I thought they live in Chemnitz.

They do too.

My father.

What do we do now?

- And Elisabeth? - Sleeps.

Had a burning candle started. When will she finally grow up?

Yes, the youth.

Among friends you tell yourself something like that.

If I say so. It was at the gardening.

Aha, when gardening.

You probably had a really green thumb.

Ah, there she comes, your gardening.

On, boys.

- How's your garden going? - I have a drought.

Thanks that you risk my life for my reputation.

Please never do it again something so insane.

- Did your parents ... - They did not notice.

Nothing at all.

They move back to Dresden.

My father gets his old post as clinic director again.

But he still has to rent a room

because he is otherwise targeted the Housing Authority comes.

He wants to hang a sign on Monday.

Would not you like ...

to discover the sign first?

By chance?

That then I am in one fall in love with the tenants they have chosen,

You can not blame me for that.

Your mother, um ... Will not guess what?

Oh, Mummy. Such a innocent mind.

You do not have to worry about them. That gets nothing.

Really. Nothing at all.

Uh-huh.

Yes?

I'll get in touch with the sign. Is the room still for rent?

We have the sign hung a quarter of an hour ago.

Does that mean "yes?

- You're welcome. - Short long.

- Mrs. Seeband? - Yes?

- There is an interested party. - That was fast.

Short, short, high. Arms up.

Short, short, long. Short, short, long.

Heads up. Short, short, long.

Short, short, long. Short, short, long.

Short, short, high. Arms up.

Barnert, Kurt.

- What do you do for a living? - Um, I'm a student.

For fashion.

Painting. Painting?

Mrs. Hellthaler!

Carl, here is a tenant for one of the rooms. Come here.

Short, short, long.

You have facials. Facial nerve palsy.

Partial facial paralysis.

The drooping corner of the mouth.

Did you ever have an accident? Or a Lyme disease?

Take this to the office, then my husband can talk to him.

My husband is a passionate doctor

you get that a free diagnosis.

You should have that examined.

Kurt is coming with the best recommendations.

He is a student, non-smoker.

And we have already notified about the rent.

It is of course your decision if he gets the room.

- He wants to be a painter. - I am an artist.

Our facade is starting to peel off. Maybe we can charge something.

I'm not the kind of painter.

What kind are you?

- Picture Painter. - Socialist Realism?

Is there anything else?

I hope not.

You get the room anyway.

Thank you, Mr. Seeband. - Professor Seeband, please.

Nice suit.

-Sch.

Sch.

What are you up to so late?

I was still ... out.

Alcohol?

That can be your job not exactly beneficial.

See that you get to bed.

I do not like this Kurt.

We have to watch Ellie not too friendly with him.

Why?

With it a good match, of course.

Just like you did a good game.

Extend. Put out more.

Professor Seeband, because of yesterday ... Of course, I'm not going to anyone ...

You have a new subject.

Me.

For the Directors Gallery.

About in the style.

We start tomorrow, 4 pm, in my office in the clinic, yes?

As the people of the GDR the unity of Germany wishes,

has Prime Minister Grotewohl the Bonn government ...

The professor is coming soon. Have a seat.

... free, all-German Made elections.

These suggestions were from the Western powers

and the Adenauer government

in compliance with her War policy rejected.

In further compliance their war policy

have the Bonn government and the western occupying powers

- ... on the demarcation line ...

... introduced a strict border service, to distinguish itself from the GDR

and thereby the division of Germany ...

Thank you, gentlemen. Good day.

- ... to delineate ... - Kurt.

I figured, you put your easel ...

here on.

The missing a corresponding protection of the GDR

is from the Western powers exploited to

to an ever greater extent

Spies, terrorists and smugglers to enter our territory.

These have after execution their criminal-n task

so far, the possibility of

unhindered over the demarcation line to return to West Germany.

That's why we are forced to To take action,

the defense of the peaceful Interests of the population

the German Democratic Republic have the objective.

With these measures became the ministry entrusted to State Security.

I imagined it like that. Very well.

Tomorrow 16 clock we continue.

Two sessions should be enough, yes?

Why are you looking? these old photos again?

Why has even the stupidest amateur photo more reality than my picture?

- Dad likes it. - Yes, that's it.

Almost nobody likes a picture of themselves.

But everyone should like a painting.

Since the photo must be true.

Why is your father? actually went to Chemnitz?

He was already a director here before.

- Hm? - He does not want us talking about it.

He has the women back then treated by Göring and Goebbels.

Well, because he's the one best gynecologist is.

They are 200 kilometers arrived from Berlin.

As if nobody there mastered a cell smear.

You have to imagine this.

And they have him then made an honorary member of the SS.

He could not refuse.

But after the war it was difficult for the Russians to convey

that he is nothing else had to do with the Nazis.

They combed all the archives, but found nothing against him.

The professor has one today Artist called "type Willi Sitte".

But that's good. He is successful.

"Type Willi Sitte"?

I think I have to get out of here.

Where out?

You do not mean that seriously.

Everything is going so well for us.

I could Mamachen not let someone down.

Kurt! Your diploma thesis convinced the delegation.

They have chosen you, the wall fresco to paint for the new history museum.

Theme: Unity of the working class.

Have the job Many a professor also liked.

- Mural painting? - Yes.

I am not a muralist.

Kurt, we both know that you can do that.

No, I'm sorry, that's not for me.

This is pure decoration.

You would have work in one go. Even money.

That's not me.

I i i.

No, do not move. You're welcome.

That's how I imagine that we are a body.

I'm pregnant.

Then you are all mine now.

All to me, I mean.

We have to tell them, Ellie.

Maybe first, that we are together at all.

Break the shock into small beats.

I think your mother already suspects something.

It's not mom that worries me.

Dad will fall from every cloud.

I always will for him be twelve years old.

I think Ellie is pregnant.

What?

Your hand temperature has been slightly elevated for weeks,

but no cold symptoms.

She was yesterday during dinner exit twice,

has at breakfast did not touch her oatmeal

and clinging to the back of the chair, when she got up.

Third month, I would say.

Maybe even fourth.

Oh God, that's it even a child.

Your age is not the problem but the man.

But who?

Leptosome, melancholic.

Son of a man who kills himself, because he had to clean a few stairs.

My dad would have something like that Called "Hegeabschuss".

This is not the genetic material, I wish our descendants.

We have to stop it.

And how?

After 30 years in gynecology I know:

An abortion has almost every Liebelei can put an end to it.

No, I do not know him either. What is the difference?

The psychotic thinks that two plus two are five.

While the neurotic already knows that there are four,

it just worries him.

There is something we do want to tell you.

About your academy? I am always very interested in that.

No. Although ... also about the academy.

Kurt was with the mural commissioned in the History Museum.

So walls.

It is a fresco on the subject Unity of the working class.

Yes, and apropos unity ...

What is there, child?

I hope, nothing unpleasant.

Save my nerves.

We...

We are together.

You also work on the fresco?

We are a couple. Already for some time.

A couple of students?

A loving couple.

- And there is something else ... - That's big news.

Yes, but there is one more thing that we ...

My God, I have to digest that first.

That really comes now very sudden.

You're welcome. Bring water to the Professor?

Thank you very much. Thank you.

You know, how could I get to the stuff?

I'm glad you told us

And you said it early.

There's something about Ellie, what you need to know.

We wanted Ellie do not worry unnecessarily

That's why we have it for her never really set out, but ...

Ellie was a toddler a severe inflammation in the pelvic area,

to scar tissue in the fallopian tubes

and thus to considerable cilia damage has led.

Cilia?

The cilia the fallopian tube mucosa,

the fertilized egg transport to the uterus.

We are currently looking intensively for a way

to remedy this surgically.

But if you ...

would get pregnant before ...

would be the chance an extrauterine pregnancy,

an ectopic pregnancy,

an oviduct pregnancy, very high.

Which in turn could lead to severe internal bleeding.

So I have to warn you.

For other reasons, than otherwise fathers daughters warn a young man

not intimate with her, until we could fix this.

A pregnancy at the moment

could be for Ellie become life threatening.

You understood me? Life-threatening.

And if she was already pregnant?

Then I would have to examine it immediately.

I have to act immediately.

The pregnancy is on advanced than feared.

It is already the third month.

An abortion?

If I do not remove the fetus immediately, she does not survive the pregnancy.

Here?

We have a reputation to uphold.

Is it really the only way? Really?

Do you doubt my expertise?

Would I expect such a thing, and my daughter,

if it does not have to be?

He has an SS uniform tailor.

He practiced for hours in posing. In front of the mirror.

Until he knew how he did looks good in it.

He did not care that I saw him.

I was small.

On the cap was a skull.

Silver.

A skull.

A doctor should heal after all.

He should heal.

Will I always be at the mercy of him?

A gifted doctor, a humanist,

a co-designer our socialist republic,

in short a role model for all members of his guild,

That's why, on this December 11, on the day of the health service of the GDR,

with the Robert Koch Medal and the Title "Honored Doctor of the People"

may distinguish.

Thank you, Comrade Minister, for the kind words,

which I do not deserve.

As a doctor and member of society I just do my duty.

I am a wheel in the big gearbox the socialist world movement.

Just like the painter this too much too flattering portraits of me

only a small wheel is,

indistinguishable in style from the other painters here.

Like all small wheels of a big apparatus,

with the help of the Soviet Union on one is heading towards a common, common goal.

Communism.

Thank you.

What did he want?

I'm supposed to be tomorrow come to the KGB headquarters.

He did not say more.

The plan did not work out. They are closer than before.

Patience, Martha.

Only patience.

General Murayov, Professor Seeband.

You can leave.

Carl.

Carl.

Wait, I have to show you something.

Come sit down.

Carl, I'm being transferred.

Back to Moscow. I will can not protect you anymore.

All others are caught.

The search for Burghard Kroll and the ...

"medical coordinator of the Dresden region in the implementation of euthanasia "

is still open on the paper.

I can not guarantee,

that my successor not with new surveys

of doctors and Nurses starts.

You have to leave the GDR too and never come back.

Make an exit request for you and your wife.

He will be approved.

The truth they become in the West do not suspect.

We hope not.

Carl.

You can not help me say something to Kroll?

Where he is?

Who else? was there at your meeting?

You would help me very much.

I never met this man.

I do not know anything about him.

We will not meet again, my friend.

I hope, my debt is paid for it.

You can leave.

Dear Ellie, dear Kurt.

So you've been here for two hours now my son-in-law.

I leave my daughter in your care,

when we are at the end of the month leave the GDR.

Only one thing I want you for your life on the way.

It is not enough to be good.

I experienced it, like men who were only good,

passed over, expropriated, even eradicated.

If you have security want to have in your life,

no matter what you do,

you have to be the best.

Not one of the best.

The best.

On the spouses.

- Cheers. - For the benefit.

Cheers.

"And so I am now accommodated in Oldenburg,

in the Sanderbusch Clinic, with the view,

after Erkner's retirement in two Years to take the lead.

Take care of yourself, your daddy. "

There it is again fallen to your feet, it seems.

They beat more for that. Just always on it, always on it.

How much would you give me pay for the Wartburg?

Are you still in solace?

Do you know how long a normal mortal waiting for such a car?

I do not enjoy it anymore.

300 marks?

Kurt, in the west, they do not paint anymore.

In the meantime painting is considered a bourgeois.

Bourgeois means good for them, I thought.

Oh, I know what.

Of course we all want here get rid of you, but ...

You have a life here.

You have money. You are just becoming famous.

I mean, I can get girls to bed, because I am your assistant.

You can deal with the apparatchiks like no other.

You will be 30 next year. That's not so young anymore.

You're...

Why?

- Because it's not about all this. - What is it then?

To the truth.

And who says what is true?

I i i.

- 260? - In order.

- Do you need canvases? - Do you have any?

As many as pictures. In the studio.

What?

Paint them, please. All. I do not want to see her anymore.

Believe me, everything is not right what I painted there.

- ... Realism. - Visit from the Normannenstraße.

And the murals? You can not destroy them.

... as an unstoppable locomotive display.

Comrades Schreiber and Komarek ...

Others will do that for me.

We were there from the beginning. We testify to all impeccable sentiments.

Stop! Stand still!

- What do you have in the suitcase? - things that belong to my brother-in-law.

Trained train goes to Zoologischer Garten.

Please stay back.

- They make it almost too easy. - Not for long.

Next stop: Zoological Garden.

- Their names? - Barnert, Kurt.

Please fill that out.

Your beds are there. I come to you.

Mrs. Muller? Mrs. Muller!

- Thank you very much. - Good day.

- You're welcome. - Thank you very much.

- You're welcome. - Thank you.

Dear Professor.

If you read these lines, I am in the west.

I could not do it before talk to you,

because you are otherwise would have been punishable.

They were always very good to me.

That's why you become me maybe even believe

that I make that decision not taken lightly.

Hmm?

Hello, I'm the Kurt.

- Should I come back later? - Nah, come in.

Klaus, still, huh?

Otherwise, you are missing your dad the birthday present for the mum.

- How old are you again? - 29.

- I will be 30. - You look younger.

Hm, Munich is a good idea. There people have money.

They need it all the time Portraits and landscapes.

In Hamburg, too. That's ... well.

What I would advise against is Dusseldorf.

- Dusseldorf? - Mm.

Only modern art. You know, avant-garde.

Was not you at the academy, you have no chance there anyway.

This is a bit like a mafia. Munich is good.

Hamburg is good.

And Berlin is so middle class.

Well, you see yourself.

Klaus, quiet.

"Salon des refusés".

- Good day. I am Kurt. Barnert. - Mm.

I had called. Because of a leadership.

- I never dealt with that. - Are you taking him back?

That's not a gallery.

He has him in the lecture his nose was bloody.

He showed the Hitler salute and then claim that would be provocation.

Tasteless.

- 9000 marks paid for some earth. - No!

You're under 26, right?

Good, and what do you want to do?

Action? Installation? Sculpture?

- Painting actually. - painting?

No offense, so am I. from the east. Mecklenburg.

- Harry, Harry Preusser. - Kurt.

So, paint does here really no one else.

People want something new. An idea.

- An idea? - Yes, but not that.

Something new. Or at least repackaged.

Like Yves Klein, who says: "I claim ultramarine for myself.

I even patent it.

That's Yves-Klein-Blau now. Only in that I express myself.

I paint bare breasts a beautiful woman with it.

And she smears her on the breasts another beautiful woman.

I paint sponges with it and stick them on screens. "

Does not bring anything if someone had the idea before.

Lucio Fontana slits canvases for six years.

But Katrin has beautiful firm breasts, and so we leave her.

Let us direct our focus away from the obvious,

towards the threadbare.

Let's leave that Hintergrudige front stand.

This is Adrian Schimmel.

The name says it already.

His name is actually Adrian Finck, Son of the Mannesmann board.

A penny. And he can talk, that's clear, too.

But if the wallpaper idea is enough?

In other words: What does the entire composition tell you?

Yes, I think that's pretty.

Well, but that's natural a wallpaper, so to speak.

- Excuse me. - Yes.

Yes.

But you see: only seemingly.

That's what we artists are looking for.

That which is hidden behind the decorative.

Look: the emptiness, expressed by the white,

that I put between the templates.

The banality, through embodies the recurring pattern.

And the senseless brightness through the neon colors.

That's what brought you here.

They have a deep artistic sense.

Otherwise you would not have landed here. Your friends see a pretty wallpaper.

You see the plane behind it.

Nice.

And...

can you buy something like that?

One can. That's the great thing about art.

The devil always shits on the ... Well, you know that.

But no artist should have to talk about his work.

He wants his successful family to prove,

that he can succeed without them.

Only coal counts for them.

I want prove to my unsuccessful family

that I can still be successful

Only coal counts. Everything shit with the families.

But you can not be more than 26 if you have the idea, otherwise it will not work.

- Why? - Think about it.

Picasso was 26 at the "Demoiselles d'Avignon".

Duchamp was 25 when he "Act descending a staircase" painted.

And Michelangelo was 24 at the Pieta.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye.

- What do you call that? - "Potato pendulum".

- No more points? - At the moment I'm interested in potatoes.

This is Kurt, also comes from the East. Will study here.

Ah, then you sure had to Listen to Harry's speech about the idea.

You will not believe?

I am more interested ...

for potatoes.

Come on, before you get corrupted.

Arendt Ivo. No one knows what he wants.

He has everything before

in such big, same-colored dots dissolved on plates.

Could have been a real idea. And now that.

And in two months makes something quite different.

Our professor.

Antonius van Verten, from him you probably also heard in Saxony.

An original.

He prefers "myth".

He always wears this hat.

Once seduced him a keen student,

just to see him without a hat.

He kept it in bed too.

He works only with felt and fat. And why?

That remains his mysterious secret.

We have to go to all his lectures, but he never looks at us.

He says you can only self-knowledge, if you do it right.

I think we just do not care.

Well, he us too.

Whether you are admitted, get a studio ...

All the decision of this spinner.

Come on. It's not that interesting.

You have not submitted a portfolio.

I could not take anything with me.

And what have you done so far?

Painted.

- In the DDR? - Yes.

Socialist Realism.

Now they have actually built a wall.

Did you feel that coming?

"No one has the intention" means mostly, just the opposite is true.

But somehow it is again, art, this wall.

A landscape artwork.

The craftsmanship is uninteresting.

hundreds of thousands have trouble with it.

Consistent German madness.

What do you like about art?

You do not like talking about you, huh?

But your eyes tell me that you have seen more than all of us.

The only two conditions for you as for everyone else,

that you First, come to the lectures

and secondly never demands

that I'm looking at something, what you do.

Agreed?

Whether it's good for you or not, anyway, only you know that.

Hm.

One step forward, two steps back.

Oh, come.

Do not say that you are not here Do everything you want.

Yes, if only now would know what it is.

SPD?

CDU?

- Who will you vote for? - CDU!

- FDP! - Peace Union!

These are criminals.

- As if they were better! - SPD!

Do not vote.

Never choose a party again.

Choose the art.

It is an either-or.

Only in art Freedom is not an illusion.

Only the artist can man after this disaster

the feeling for her Return freedom.

Every person, whether he is at the garbage disposal

or farmer is,

has the chance to be an artist.

If he has his own subjective skills

unfolded without specifications.

If you are not free,

completely free,

it will be nobody.

By freeing yourself,

you make the world free.

You are a priest.

You are revolutionaries.

You are liberators.

Bring your burnt offerings.

Just say, you went under the Schlitzer.

That's almost an idea.

You learn quickly.

I lost it.

I was at the doctor.

I will not be able to have children.

And do you know what he said?

It was the abortion.

No cilia damage.

The holding apparatus has been damaged.

Cervical insufficiency.

We will never come over the third month.

Because...

Because he wanted to keep her so pure ...

he has his own Bloodline extinguished.

We will not have children, Kurt.

Your pictures.

Your pictures will be our children, yes?

Well.

Yes...

We have last time about the extension ...

Uh ...

No. No no.

Uh ...

Are you all? busy with Lehmbruck?

You can see that better with the Episkop.

Yes, Lehmbruck.

He says:

"Every work of art must be something of the first days of humanity. "

So...

as if it were just yet been divine.

As if it were creeping now ...

out of the original mass, out of the rib.

No.

No, no, different, uh ...

Does any of you have this week? had a realization?

An insight ...

he wants to share with us?

Lottery numbers.

No, really. The lottery numbers.

If I have you now call six random numbers ...

5, 7, 23, 29, 44, 11 ...

... then that's stupid.

But if I have the winning numbers read the lottery draw ...

May I, please?

"2, 17, 19,

25, 45, 48 ".

Yes, they have somehow what is true, compelling, um ...

yes, almost beautiful.

Yes.

That was mine...

my insight.

You can go home. I have nothing for you today.

Kurt, will you come here sometime?

Yes?

I want to see your art.

When?

Whenever you feel right. If you are ok with it.

Just let me know.

What are you considering?

Does he like your job, do you get a gallery?

- Then your girlfriend gets a car. - I am married.

Then get your wife and your girlfriend a car.

I just do not know if that's good enough, what I'm doing there.

It's not like that somehow.

That's all subjective. Would it is not subjective, it would be craft.

It's also about luck, you understand?

And that he himself interested in your stuff,

Whatever, your luck is.

He does not want to be wrong.

He just wants What awesome thing about your work.

Do not stand in your own way.

They are good, the works. Really.

They are good.

I was a radio operator during the war at the Luftwaffe.

I was a miserable radio operator.

And my pilot was a lousy pilot. Four weeks training stop.

Right on our second mission we were shot down, over the Crimea.

The pilot was dead immediately.

I was from nomadic Tatars salvaged from the wreckage.

With burns involving me actually should have died.

The farmers,

exactly the farmers, which I should have bombed,

pulled me out of the wreck ...

and used me with that, what they had.

They rubbed my wounds with fat ...

and wrapped me in felt blankets.

I stayed with them for a year.

After that I gave myself up in American captivity.

If I ask myself, what i really know

what i really am in Have experienced life,

what I can say without lying ...

then it's the fat on my skin.

The home of fat and felt.

When others tell me about love,

to women, to their children,

or of sex, then I know what they mean ...

just because I felt and fat felt on my skin.

I have not experienced anything before.

My childhood was happy and protected. A few slaps, few.

My teachers liked me.

I wanted to be a merchant, like my father.

I had no artistic talent.

And I have not experienced anything since.

I stayed happy.

I spent the end of the war

in a hospital with friendly nurses.

Very friendly.

After that quite fast success and this professorship here.

But...

the fat and the felt ...

I've penetrated that,

I understood that, as ...

as Descartes understood that he exists.

"So I think I am."

He questioned everything. Everything.

Everything could be illusion Deceived, imagination.

But then he knew that there was something to do these thoughts.

And that consequently something must exist.

And this something, that's what he calls ...

"I".

But who are you?

What are you?

The...

you are not.

How was your day?

Productive.

Villa Cimbrone.

- Also Villa Cimbrone. - No, Villa Rufolo.

But also in Ravello.

Oh, the nice car.

- The hotel. - Le Sirenuse.

Oh God, Pompeii.

Still studying at the age of 30?

I'll fill that up.

When I was 30, I was a senior physician in Dresden.

When Mozart was 30 ...

he was dead.

I'll get that out already. Should I open the red wine?

I understand, that you do not want support

And that is commendable.

I'll make you a suggestion.

I know the director the gynecological clinic Dusseldorf.

I am always there invited to consultations.

I'll get you with him a part-time job.

Something suitable.

Maybe three hours early in the morning, yes?

Uh-huh.

Then you have a living

and still have enough time to ...

to paint.

Can he us do not just leave alone?

Just disappear from our lives?

Maybe the job will be in the clinic yes help.

Wait, I'll help you.

... in the whole two months not visited once. Impossible.

Kurt Barnert, I come on recommendation by Professor Seeband.

White on a white background. Is this the new art?

"Symbol of emptiness". So you could call it that.

Maybe it will be a sensation.

Come, I invite you to dinner. My driver is waiting outside.

That has to go to Bonn be brought to the authority.

So I get my permanent passport.

He is there ready for pickup. Here is the power of attorney.

I thought you live near Bonn, why do not you do that for me?

Then you can earn extra money.

I'll be back next week, to pick up the passport, yes?

Uh-huh.

- Professore, un caffé? - Si, grazie.

Burghard Kroll caught!

Sick Killer lived for ten years unmolested in Schleswig-Holstein!

A dime.

Thank you.

Ill murderer.

Thank you.

Ill murderer. Ten pfennigs.

- Thank you, goodbye. - Ciao.

- Professore, un caffé. - Grace.

They smoke?

63 is an age where you can start with it.

The consequences will not catch up with me anymore.

Eat in peace. Unfortunately, I have to hurry.

Give my regards to Ellie.

- Buona nice. - Buona notte, professors.

- May I? - Can you take with you?

- I only need the sports section. - Thank you.

"White on white".

"Symbol of emptiness".

Your father-in-law?

Such an asshole.

You know, for the first time I wish someone more successful than me.

Your mistake is that you are still holding on to canvas and easel.

Painting is just dead.

Such as...

Folk dance or bobbins or silent film.

I'm just fine with you, otherwise I would let you continue like this.

We can not be doctors anymore.

What power art thou

Who from below

Hast made me rise

Unwillingly and slow

From beds

Of everlasting snow

See'th thou ...

Kurt?

- Hello. - Hello.

What's this?

I do not know it either, but I think that's it.

- Photos to be painted? - Yes.

Excuse me.

I am satisfied with the progress of the construction.

We like to hear that Professor.

- You know my concerns. - Yes.

The clear door width of the operating rooms would have to be on both sides

be extended by 25 centimeters.

So we can with Beds pass comfortably.

That's right, Professor. Thank you for the suggestion.

Did Dr. Weber called?

You understand, I believe, why I love you did not introduce this morning.

It would have been inappropriate.

Well, what does art do? And more importantly, do you have my passport?

I...

I have to go ... unfortunately.

Thank you.

Pardon.

Did you already see something like that?

What did you tell him? What did he have?

C'est le temps de l'amour Le temps of the copains

Et de Faventure

Quand le temps va et vient On ne pense à rien

Malgré ses blessures

Car le temps de l'amour C'est long et c'est court

Ca dure toujours On s'en souvient

On se dit qu'à vingt ans

On est les rois du monde

Et qu'éternellement Il y aura dans nos yeux

Tour le ciel bleu

Car le temps de l'amour Ca vous met au coeur

Beaucoup de chaleur et de bonheur

If you knew, how beautiful you look.

I'm pregnant.

Fourth month.

I was at the doctor. We they become parents.

We will be parents.

It's Sunday, no one is there. I promise you.

Please, there is nobody there.

Please, like yesterday.

Please tell me again and then come down.

I'm pregnant.

These are not potatoes, eh?

What do you think about, if I become your gallery owner?

Adrian Schimmel, the gallery owner?

Adrian Finck.

With such exhibitions I try to set a backlight.

- Nice to have you here. - Thank you.

We should start.

Are there already Any questions to Kurt Barnert?

Maybe I'll put it then The first question.

Mr. Barnert,

many of your pictures are after Amateur photos or magazines painted.

The picture "Act on a staircase" ...

that's one Tribute to Duchamp?

Yes.

Heinz Viersen, West German newspaper.

Mr. Barnert,

in your magnificent painting "Mother and child", which we see here ...

Who is represented? Your mother and you?

No, that's just an amateur photo.

I do not really care about who I paint.

But if you paint a portrait, then you have to know the person.

It's even better if I do not know her.

Then I better see what is really there.

Hence the picture with the passport photos from the machine?

A photo without an author?

Yes.

With the Wehrmacht officer

make no statement about the Wehrmacht?

No, I do not make statements. I do, um ...

Images.

So, photos. Photos by other means.

Hermann Schreiber, SDR.

They also take the exact Composition of the amateur photo.

There is a lot of coincidence.

No, not by chance. Um ...

Really, right, really.

Only the reality is right. Every reality is consistent.

Everything that is true is beautiful.

What do you mean?

Hm...

If I now name six numbers,

then that's stupid, pointless.

If the six numbers but

the winning numbers are the lottery draw, then you have the sense

a coherence, a value, yes, almost a beauty.

That's the same with the photos.

I want the truth.

Have a look.

Yes, Mr. Meybert?

Urs Meybert, art chronicle.

What should come for you now? Still blurred painted pictures?

No, I have it enough for now.

I am currently interested for color plates.

Color plates?

Yes.

We're going to get in trouble.

We'll get in trouble.

Randomly selected illustrated pictures, Passport photos from the machine,

any snapshots from family albums.

Everything was out of focus.

With such pictures,

for unexplainable reasons have a real power,

Kurt Barnert seems

to the leading artist to develop his generation.

And that with the dead-mentioned painting.

But...

how many in his generation does he have nothing to say, nothing to say.

He breaks away from any tradition,

says goodbye from the biographical approach in art

and do it for the first time in art history

a work without an author.

- Was that good? - That was great.

Sure, I can not drive you?

I like to run a bit.

You were good today.

That was good.

This is going to be good.

On three.

One.

Two.

Three.
