Are you coming back for lunch?
- We'll see. - Bye.

Aaron, Leyla.

Robert's in the garden.
Go and see him.

How was the journey?
- Tiring. I've got a headache.

You're looking well, Paul.
- Thanks.

Would you like some coffee?
- Yes, please.

A glass of water and an Aspirin for me,
if you've got any.

Damn, I think I forgot my shaver.

Or did you pack it?
- Why should I have packed your shaver?

Here it is.

The garden's lovely.

It's a lot of work.

Otherwise it looks like a jungle.

So how are you, Laura?

All right.
- How's the translation going?

I'm going to stop.

It doesn't bring in any money.

And what do you want to do instead?

I don't know yet. I'll see.

Well, just relax here first.

It's so quiet here.

I can see our victims.

Those three are a good find.
They'll taste good for a whole week.

I've given up.
- Congratulations.

He finally did it.
And now he's unbearable.

Don't be mean. What did you say?
- Just a joke.

Where's Max?

Out with his girlfriend.

Max has a girlfriend?
- Yes, and now we never see him.

They're always together.
- Well, he isn't a child any more.

It's nice you're here.
The house has become so quiet.

You've got a great place.

Berlin is noisy, the air is polluted
and the pavements are full of dog shit.

That's why you couldn't stand it.

But now everything's different.

For the first few years
we had visitors all the time.

But now no one comes.

And Max will move out soon.
The house is getting dreary.

Mum, we've only just arrived.

Laura's right.

You'll scare our guests away.

I don't think it was such a good idea
to spend the summer holidays here.

I always forget how tiring my mother is.
- I like your mother a lot.

But she's so difficult.
She always says the same things.

Wait and see. We've just got here.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

No, there's something wrong.
- Stop it. It's nothing.

You've put on weight.
- What?

You're fatter.
- Are you mad?

These folds.

What folds?
- These, look.

I don't work out so much now.
- It's so easy to annoy you.

Idiot.

I'm really tired.

Paul?

I'm going for a walk, okay?
- Yes.

There's some coffee left, if you want.
It's still hot.

I hope we aren't disturbing you.
- No, not at all.

It's nice here.
- Yes.

I particularly like this spot.

Are you from around here?

Just visiting.
- Me too.

Where do you come from?
- Berlin. - Me too.

Small world.
- You're right.

What do you do in Berlin?
- I'm a journalist.

And you?
- Teacher.

Are they your children?

And how are you at the moment?

Lie down for a bit.

I'll come at once.

You smell nice.

I want you to promise me something.

What?
- That we'll never split up.

What's up with you?
- Promise.

All right, I promise.

Let me carry the suitcase.
- I can manage.

Do you need anything?

My little Laura, how are you?

Fine.

Do you still like playing cards so much?
- Yes.

I could spend whole days at it.

Where's Paul?

Indoors. I think he's lying down.

Are you two happy?

A bit difficult at the moment.
- I like him.

Sometimes he reminds me of my husband.

A pity you never got to know him.

Have you never thought about
trying again with someone else?

Of course I have.
But it didn't work out.

Have you tried?
- Yes, what do you think?

I don't like being alone.

And why didn't it work out?

You must have had loads of admirers.

I don't know.

Somehow I was never able
to forget your grandfather.

And we didn't even
get on that well at first.

But then we got used to one another.

Terrible, isn't it? How old people
always talk about the past.

But I don't live in the past.

I always have a lot to do.

I have to keep the flat clean,
go shopping.

I have my books, my plants, walks.

There's no time
for sentimental nonsense.

I never hear from your sister.

I haven't spoken to her for ages.

You aren't in touch?
- Hardly.

You mustn't lose touch.

You two were inseparable.

Paul? Can you help me carry the
children's things?

Laura, I'm trying to work.
- We have to clear the room for Grandma.

Stop it, Paul. Let me go.
- You're strong, you're so strong.

Let me go.

Only if you hit me.

I'm telling you
for the last time. Let me go.

You're so...
- What?

How was it at the restaurant?
- A lot to do.

My mother isn't well.

She's going to
stay here for a while.

There's no room with everyone here.
- There's enough room.

And she's my mother after all.

Should I put her in a home?

I want her to stay here.

HOLIDAYS

Grandma, what are you doing?

Why did you run off?

What do you mean?
I was just going for a walk.

Why didn't you tell anyone?

I don't want to be a burden on anyone.
- You aren't a burden on anyone.

On your mother and Robert for sure.
- Nonsense.

I don't believe you.

You have to take things easier.

I've made an appointment
for you at the doctor's.

With that fool again?

He's a good doctor, Mother.

Your ex-husband Richard,
he was a good doctor.

He isn't here any more.

Say peep, little mice.

Why do you sleep the whole day?

I wasn't asleep, I was just resting.

From what?

You might give me a hand.

I'm not your nanny.

You don't do anything any more.

Why don't you take up photography again?

I never understood why you gave it up.

Don't keep telling me what to do.

You haven't eaten a thing.

You lot are always taking about food.

It makes me sick just thinking of it.
- Are you in pain?

Pressure in the stomach.

Show me exactly where.

There.
- Here?

It's hard.

How's it going with your girlfriend?
- Quite well.

How long have you been together?
- About six months.

That's not very long.
- Yes it is.

So what's it like, living in Berlin?

Very nice.

But I've lived there so long now
I can't really judge it.

It's got to be better than here.
- I like it a lot here.

That's because you don't live here.

Yes, you may be right.
- I am right.

Then get off your arse and come visit.
- Yes, I mean to.

Here, Mummy.

Thank you.

Thank you for the watch.
- Do you like it?

It's lovely.

You don't like it.

I can change it.

No, I like it.

Paul, I've met someone.

I wanted to tell you sooner,
but I couldn't.

How long has it been going on?

Three or four months.
- Four months.

I thought it was a meaningless affair,
so I didn't tell you about it.

I didn't want
to hurt you unnecessarily.

Very thoughtful of you.

How often
have you been seeing each other?

Once or twice a week.

Clever, you never gave yourself away.
Or perhaps I'm too stupid.

Do I know him?

I don't think so.

How did you meet?

At an exhibition opening.

Did you go to his place that evening?

No.

What did you do, then?

Talk to each other till sunrise?
Fucking romantic.

Stop, please.

Is he younger than me?

Good grief, no.

If it reassures you.

It's strange.

What's strange?

That I didn't notice anything.

I feel like an idiot. At least you
could have told me before we came here.

Yes, I should have.

So you've fallen in love.

Enough to give everything up for it?
- I don't know, Paul.

At the moment
I don't know anything any more.

That's saying very little.

It's late. Let's go to bed.
- Yes, you're good at that.

That's always annoyed me about you.
Even after an almighty row

you just roll over from one moment
to the next and fall asleep.

Probably.

What are you doing?

You're not going.

Please.

What are you reading?

Is it good?

What's that dress?
- It's new.

A present?

Paul, please.

I bought it myself.

What do you think?

I don't know.

I like it.
- I'm sure you do.

Nice and simple.
The way you like things.

Simple clothes and simple solutions.

And what's wrong with that?

Nothing.

And if things between us are difficult,
you just find someone else.

As simple as that.

You won't believe me, but for once
I haven't made things easy for myself.

Yes, I know. Things are hard for you.

I hope you don't expect my sympathy.
- I don't need sympathy.

But at least
you could try to understand.

What's his name?
- What? - His name.

Do you really want to know?
- Yes. And what does he do?

He's an actor in the theatre.

An actor.

Bravo.

I can just imagine the ham routine
he used to win you over.

Oh yes?

What sort of tone is that?
Are you getting fresh?

Are you off your head?

Yes, I'm off my head.

Daddy, come here.

Very funny.

I don't want an operation.

We have to wait
for the lab results first.

Let's go over.

No, I don't want to.
Those idiots get on my nerves.

Come on, just for a while.
- No.

I'll be right back.

Where are you going?
- Let go.

What's wrong? Are you nuts?
- Leave me alone. Go back to your tart.

What are you on about?

What's wrong?

Are you in pain?

Shall we call the doctor?
- No.

It'll soon pass.

I'm thinking of moving away from here.

Where to?

Perhaps to Berlin.
- To Berlin? - Yes.

Do you really think
Berlin is the right place for you?

Think it over calmly.

I don't know if it's such a good idea.

I don't think you'd feel right there.

Do you think
I'm too old to start something new?

Paul's right.
You have a wonderful house here.

Why do you want to give it up
for a smelly city flat?

The house...

I can't stand it any more.

What happened?
- Minor sporting accident.

Sophie.

Hello Mum.

What have you brought with you?
- Just the necessaries.

These are for you two.
- Thank you.

Where's Robert?
- He should be here soon.

This is for him.

Do you think he'll like it?
- I don't think he'll wear it.

Sorry to throw you out.

But at least you've had
a single room up to now.

Laura will explain.
- Oh, I see.

Okay, I don't want to be like that.
You can sleep here. It's a big bed.

What?
- Joke. A joke, you understand?

A joke.

Good heavens, Paul.
Don't be so miserable.

Don't I get a good-night kiss?

Morning.
- Morning, Laura.

Sleep well?

I hardly got a wink:

I have to get used
to the stillness first.

Why are you up so early?

I'm always awake around now.

Your children are sweet.

The garden used
to seem much bigger to me.

What about you?

Yes.

What's wrong with you and Paul?
Are you rowing?

You could call it that.

Hello Grandma.
- Hello. - For you.

Sophie.

There you are at last.

How are you?
- Fine.

Sorry I haven't
been in touch for so long.

Do you like the flowers?

Lovely.

Now you just have to get healthy again.

Just rest.

Do you think she'll recover?
- I don't know.

If she does she'll need permanent care.
She won't want that torture, for sure.

Yes, she always hated
being dependent on others.

Are you still with David?
- No.

Sorry.
- Don't be. It's better this way.

Have you got anyone new?

It's doing me good to live alone.

And how's your music going?

I've made a recording with some friends,
but it isn't quite ready yet.

Can I hear it?

I hardly know what it is you do.

I can send you something, if you like.

Sometimes I envy you.
At least you have a clear goal.

Mum's thinking of moving to Berlin.
- Do you think she will?

No idea, but she's thinking about it.
She's unbearable at the moment.

Things are a bit much for her just now.
- Things were always too much for her.

You're exaggerating.
- And the way she treats Robert.

Sometimes I wonder
how he puts up with her.

I think she still misses our father.

It's all so complicated.

First you're looking forward to seeing
everyone again, and then...

Go on.
- Forget it.

Fucking Sunday.

For spastics.
- They're wicked.

If you say so.

You keep quite with your pathetic moped.

Only queers drive them.
- Yours is no better.

I saw his father the other day.
He walks around like an old tramp.

You're talking crap.
- Your father does look like a tramp.

Shut your trap.

That's what he is. What's up with you?
- Go fuck yourself.

Go and cry somewhere else.

Hello Max. There's some food left.
I can warm it up.

What's wrong?

A minor argument.
- It can't have been that minor.

The guys were talking crap.

What about?

Doesn't matter.

Come on.

About you.
- About me?

What did they say?

That you're weird and look like a tramp.

I see.

They talk a lot of nonsense about us.

For them we're outsiders.
You shouldn't take it too seriously.

Why don't we just move away?

I like it here, and I thought you...
- But why not? Mum wants to move too.

Yes, that's what she says.

We put so much work into the house.

You grew up here.

I'm attached to the place.

Don't you want to come downstairs?

In a minute.

Give me a puff.

Let's go away together,
for a few days, anywhere.

Right now.

Without the children.

There are enough people here
to look after them.

I can't leave at the moment.

Two kilos of tomatoes.

Ten filets of veal.

So many? What are you planning.
- Have you got everything? - Yes.

You're all here this evening?
- Yes, I think so.

What's up?

I want to cook, and it would be nice
if everyone were here.

Have I forgotten someone's birthday?
- I just want to make you happy.

Shall I go shopping?
- If you want to.

What are we having?
- It's a surprise.

Come on, lets go together.

Can we take your car?
- Yes.

You've put on a bit of weight.
- Could well be.

I should take up sport again.
- Looks good on you.

We haven't seen each other for ages.

You get more beautiful every year.

Stop it, you sound like Mum.

I'm serious.
- Serious?

You can't even spell the word.

Paul, don't be offended.

Paul, what are you doing?

Come on, let's drive.

What time is it?

Just after eleven.
- So late already?

What is it, Anna?

I was expecting someone this evening.
- Who?

Your father.

What?

He wanted to come this evening.

So that was your surprise.

You invited him?

We're so seldom together.

I thought it would be nice
to see each other after all these years.

You thought?
- Yes.

You might at least have asked us first.

Excuse me, please.

I just don't believe it.

You'd really have allowed him to walk
in here as if nothing had happened?

I thought I was doing you a favour.

A favour, please!
You wanted to do yourself a favour.

So what if I did?

How long has he kept away?

Twenty, twenty-five years?

And you're still mourning him.

I've spoken to him
on the phone a few times recently.

He sounded so different.

What did you imagine?

That he'd come back?

He doesn't love you any more.
He probably never loved you.

It's over. When will you get it?
He doesn't give a toss about you.

Laura, stop it.

Thank heavens he didn't come.

I'd like to have seen him.
- Yes, you.

Yes, me.

I don't know anything about him now.
I'd have liked to hear him talk.

Don't pretend to be more stupid than you
already are. What would he have to say?

He's an egoistic arsehole.
And he's a coward.

He didn't come this evening.
That's proof enough.

You should hear yourself.
You're so unbelievably self-righteous.

You should stop playing the little girl.
- You silly cow.

You suppress everything.
I only have to see your pinched-up face.

Sometimes I want to punch you.

I've had enough.
Thanks for the wonderful evening.

I could live at the end of the world,

but I'd still not be free of you lot.

Will you come away with me?
- Where to?

I don't know. A city somewhere.
But away from this dump.

But we haven't got any money.
You don't even know what you want to do.

Yes I do.
- What?

Something with women,
football or motorbikes.

Idiot.

Thank you.

Will you water the plants in my flat?
They'll dry out otherwise.

Yes, I will.
- Thank you.

You're a good girl, Anna.

Will you do me a favour?

Can I take a photograph of you?

But not in my nightdress.
- No.

Fetch the blouse. It's in the cupboard.

Shall I read to you?
- No.

Just stay with me for a little.

It's been ages
since you wrote me a letter.

If you can stand it here any more...

You like it here.

Yes, but I'm obviously the only one.

I thought if we were here together...

it sounds so idiotic...
everything would be all right again.

I really hoped so.

But it hasn't happened.

You took a long time to find out.

There was no point in staying here.

We didn't have a moment for ourselves.

In Berlin I'll look for a flat.

Yes, perhaps that's best for now.

How shall we tell the children?

How it is.

You're wearing the new shirt.
I hadn't noticed.

With me everything
looks as if I've worn it for ten years.

No, it suits you.

Do you really want to leave tomorrow?

Yes.

Robert and I
are going to sell the house. - What?

Yes, next summer.
When you've finished school.

Where do you want to move to?
- We'll see.

Excuse me, please. I have to leave now.

Don't you want to stay the night?
- Thanks.

But I have a lot to do in Berlin.
