BREAKING THE ICE

Well, ladies...

I'd like to introduce you to Theresa.

Some of you may know her as one of the big dogs from Saltsburg,

but she's transferred, she'll be finishing up the season with us.

I hope you guys give her a warm welcome.

Theresa...

Theresa, but Susan already said that.

Maybe we can do something afterwards so I get to know you.

Alright then.

Hello!

- Great stickhandling today! - Thanks!

Mira! Bottle, please!

This one? Yes.

Hey, Mira?

What did Susan say?

- What about? - The new girl.

- Nothing. - Come on, you always know everything.

That's true.

You're the captain, aren't you?

Yes.

- Mira. - Do you warm up together somewhere?

It's up to each of us.

But you have to be on time for practice.

- I came straight from the train. - No earlier one?

Going out? Or dolling up for your mom?

You were 12 minutes late.

So that's 12 euros.

C'mon! 12 euros?

Do you get off on the fines list at home?

Let's make it an even amount? 10 euros and done.

Or forget it altogether!

- Thanks. - Pleasure.

Did you paint all these?

No, it's a friend's studio.

Fancy another drink?

No, thanks.

Grandpa?

Why aren't you in bed?

- What are you doing? - I'm out of gas.

Where were you going at this time?

To pick up Pauli.

He missed the meeting yet again.

And where's Mom?

Why?

Why would your mother be there?

- Leave it here. I'll take you home. - No.

- No, I can manage. - I'll fetch it tomorrow.

Thank you.

Paul?

I...er...

Grandpa's not well and he's asking for you.

Come home.

Please.

That's not where it goes.

I've been saying for weeks he's confused

and one day he won't know where he's going.

Know where I found him last night?

In the middle of the road.

It's not for you to decide.

Correct. He's your father after all.

We've got new orders in.

I've put out the list for you.

What are you doing in here?

Do you know where he is?

What is it you need?

The TV isn't working again.

Paul explained what to do, but it won't work.

Grandpa, Paul's gone.

Where is he then?

I don't know. We don't know.

- Then call him! - It's no use.

He doesn't pick up and he won't call back.

Come on, I'll take a look at the TV.

All right, you guys, next drill...

Three vs. three, we're gonna play in the neutral zone.

We'll line up one team, one blue line, one team on the other...

Is this normal?

The last person opposite the net you are playing...

What?

The guys practicing with us.

Yes. Once a month, to pick up the pace.

Come on, Steffi!

Why do the men get to train with us for free?

I can't be the only one who has to work to be able to play.

I think we all gave our best today to prove something to the men.

They draw large crowds. They get paid.

Why would I want to prove anything to them?

Ice hockey is about speed and the men are simply faster.

Seriously?

Aren't you sick of hearing we're slower cos we've got a pussy?

Honestly, I'm glad I have a vagina,

not such an impractical thing between my legs.

Stop beating around the bush, Melli, just call it a cock.

It's not about the damn cock!

I'd reckoned you didn't like cock.

Like to go for a drink on Saturday?

We've got a match on Sunday.

That a yes or a no?

Rather run alone?

Left here.

Checking up on me now, or what?

You just missed something.

I don't miss anything.

Take a break, Grandpa.

What do you mean by that, you little imp?

Where's Paul? He's not as annoying as you are.

Paul's not coming.

Which one do you think is better?

What's wrong with the old one?

I think I like the left one.

I'll be out tomorrow night.

What about Grandpa?

I've got practice.

Every Tuesday and Thursday, for years now.

Then Grandpa will be left on his own.

They're both ugly.

Today is an important game, ladies.

If we wanna make the finals, we gotta to come out on top.

One change I'd like to make to the line up.

Theresa, I want you to start centering Meli and Wiesi...

Nina, you're gonna be moved on a rotation with Stefi for the other lines.

Why's Nina playing so little?

- She's always here, despite her baby. - It's not fair.

Do stay focused, ladies. On ice in three minutes.

- Why be captain if you don't speak up? - Exactly.

- I did speak up. - Fat lot of good it did us. Thanks!

You'd better get ready to go on the ice.

Excuse me?

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to today's women's hockey match

between the home team, the Dragons and the visitors, the Eagles.

A cat turning on Instagram gets a bigger audience than us.

Still not used to it?

Don't look up there. Eyes on the ice.

Good game. Fair play. Let's go!

No body checks. Keep your sticks low. Good game.

Dragons on three! One, two, three! Dragons!

Alright girls! C'mon, let's get them!

Let's go!

Go, go, go!

Come on! Give it all you got!

Goal for the Dragons!

The goal was scored by newcomer Theresa Egger.

Theresa, what's wrong with you? That was my goal.

- It worked, didn't it? - You can't just snatch it from me.

Hey, Theresa! Hell of a play. Keep it up.

There's now an 18-minute intermission.

Paul?

Where did you come from?

I was on the road.

Where to?

I'm on the road a lot.

Are you a truck driver?

I might also work in a circus.

- In a circus? - Yes.

I'm the bearded lady.

I've got the car here. We can go home right after the match.

- What's wrong with Grandpa? - He's very confused.

- Is it a brain tumour or...? - No...

I think it's dementia.

You leave a message like that because he's getting old?

No. No, you don't understand...

Paul, he's looking for you.

Nearly every day.

He doesn't look for Grandma. He remembers that.

But he's always looking for you.

Out on the moped and in the middle of the night.

Paul!

Come on, Mira, drop it.

Two minutes till the end of the intermission.

Supermarket bread once again.

What's the point of having a baker in the village?

The baker closed down, Dad.

This is industrial sludge too.

Grandma's jam, that was good.

But this stuff...

There were some...

There were oranges in it.

There's honey too if you want.

Hang on! Paul hasn't had anything yet.

Hey, Mira, what happened on the weekend?

Why did you just leave?

Why didn't you say you weren't feeling good?

Mira...

Can you please explain to me what the hell happened on the weekend

and why you walked out on your team?

I never expected this behaviour from you.

You are not above the rules, Mira.

- I'll put it in the fines list. - The fines list?

There is nothing in it about this,

because we shouldn't be dealing with this behaviour.

Sorry. I will think of something appropriate.

There you are at last!

Madam, can we finally get going?

I've been waiting for half an eternity.

I suggest...

...we find ourselves a respectable establishment

and have a little drink.

Paul...

Heavens, I haven't even introduced myself!

Rüdiger.

Pleased to meet you.

Now chop-chop, let's get the carriage ready.

Goodness gracious, could we please get going.

I'm driving home, Paul.

Do you know this lady?

Yes.

Can you act normal, Paul?

Mom and Grandpa are sure to be at home.

Are you crazy?

Nice that I can tag along.

- I'm Gustav, by the way. - Theresa.

Been to a theme party?

Why?

They've been there since Grandma died.

What do you do?

Nautical watch officer.

Sorry?

I work on a ship.

Cruise liner?

No, no.

Shipping company, Hamburg.

General cargo ship.

A what?

We transport all kinds of things: general cargo, bulk cargo, salt,

grain, coal... candy.

So you work as a crystallographer. Amazing.

What?

You research... rocks...

crystallizing rocks, don't you?

Nope. I work in a hotel at the front desk.

But, Sybille, didn't you study Mineral Resources Engineering together?

Or am I confusing that with Angelica, and you're the train signaler.

No, you've got that all wrong.

I'm the Egyptologist.

Really? Egyptologist. So with pyramids and Cleopatra etc.?

Honestly, it's not easy to make a name for yourself in Austria.

Not a lot of hieroglyphs and all that.

Isabella,

it's your turn to tell us what you do for a living.

Tightrope walker, right?

Sure.

And how high above the ground?

- Five meters. - Show us.

Come on.

Total concentration.

Bravo.

But I sense you can do a bit better. Again.

Come on.

Just don't look down.

Where's the car?

We can't drive anymore.

Here.

- What are you waiting for? - What if the ball drops down?

Don't worry, I'm a certified crossing guard.

Coward.

Paul?

I have to go, Paul.

Tomorrow evening.

Here?

Yes.

Wild night, was it?

Why?

Aspirin's up there in the tin.

What are you doing?

I'd already got the delivery ready.

Grandpa got the labelling wrong.

- It's a Riesling not a Veltliner. - Put them aside.

I'll soak them later to get the labels off.

I'm already on it.

I gave Grandpa back the moped.

Hello.

What did she want from you?

Nothing.

Try this.

Cool.

Do you need money?

Why?

Come on, try it on.

This is my younger brother, by the way... Michael.

Michael.

I like it.

And I'm Richard, by the way, but you can call me Richie.

- I thought you're Gustav. - Who's Gustav? Vodka?

Three vodkas, please.

Why don't you try?

Excuse me.

Three vodkas, please.

Stefi, can you please note that Mira was 43...

And somebody please get Mira a water bottle and a Kaugummi?

Welcome to another home game for the Devils

in the Austrian Women's Hockey League.

Sit down!

Stay there!

What does it mean to be a captain?

I'll tell you what it means to me.

The captain is the best a team has to offer.

That player that anybody can depend on,

because they care about this team the most.

Can you say you're that player, Mira?

No!

You are not that player. Not anymore.

But she didn't get to play at all today.

She was fucking drunk. Or still fucking is.

You don't deserve to wear the C. Steffi you are the captain.

Do you often think about Paul?

We must cut that back,

I practically tear my coat every time.

Mom?

Yes, of course I think about him.

Thought you don't like talking about him.

It's you who doesn't.

It doesn't help to think about it.

Paid your fine yet, captain?

Or better ex-captain, sorry.

What for?

Guess you were too drunk to remember.

You were 43 minutes late for the bus.

- Steffi? - Yes.

Has Mira paid her fine yet?

Why don't you check what the fine is for puking in front of the bus.

Just kidding. I'm not like that.

Like you.

- It was 47 minutes. - Forget it.

- Keep the change. - You keep it.

Mira! Focus!

Good night, Grandpa.

- Don't you like it? - I've seen it before.

- Good night. - Good night.

Behind me...

...he's saying he's a surf instructor, like his Tinder profile.

Hence the shirt.

He's actually an IT guy in a bank.

No, he's a carriage driver and she's a bike messenger.

Great. You're on!

The stake is a shot of vodka.

Excuse me, what do you do for a living?

Allow me to introduce you.

This is Barbara.

And this is? Huh? Doesn't matter, I'll call you Rolf,

He works in a bank.

No, tropical wood, in fact.

We recently delivered 16 chairs to the king of Malaysia.

And two weeks ago it was a Californian multi-billionaire

who wanted a mini-Schönbrunn.

I don't know any other carpenter with such an international network.

Well, here I am.

- Last round. - Last round. Thank you, my dear.

Come on now! I'm very disappointed.

Barbara, may I offer you two shots?

I wouldn't say no to that.

- But? - Yes!

Ever thought about going somewhere else? To play?

Sweden or America?

No.

Why not?

Faster.

Be careful, Paul.

Don't shit your pants.

He's gone.

Just ran away.

Three years ago he drove Grandma to Vienna for an examination.

The road was icy.

He wasn't hurt, but Grandma died in the car.

Mom blamed him.

What about you?

Is that why you don't want to go abroad?

Why does that matter so much to you?

I joined you, the team...

If we make the finals, Susan will use her connections in the U.S. for me.

For next season.

Why are you telling me this?

I wanted...

I don't give a shit.

Fine.

Why didn't you go home?

Just making sure you hadn't run away.

She was taken away by ambulance.

That was bound to happen to me.

- I warned you... - Yes.

That's why you're so perfect.

I'm the idiot who breaks the bottles and puts the wrong grapes in.

Whatever you do works out.

Whatever I do...

But no one ever gets angry with you.

Oh, come on!

Didn't you see how Mom looked at me afterwards?

Like she had just been waiting for something to happen.

Kudos!

Smart move! Got to remember that one!

How about I lock you in? Want to try?

You weren't here.

Come in!

Move your ass!

I had to pull the glass splinters out of his hand.

I didn't teach you to lock people up.

- No. - No.

You taught me how to drive them away.

Or where's Dad, or Paul?

Sticks on the ice.

Go, Dragons!

Keep 'em low!

Let's win this.

Give her options, you guys!

Pass!

Get up! Mira! Backcheck, Mira!

You got the middle. Center, damn it!

Protect the house!

Wildcats even the score.

New score: Wildcats 1...

What was that?

A foul. The referee should have called it.

Change!

Let's go!

Are you going to play properly, or do I have to find someone else?

No, no, no! We needed a forward!

Great! Go, go, go! Shoot a goal! C'mon!

Go, go, go! C'mon! Let's go!

Let's go, Mira!

Mira, take it!

Switch!

Wait! I want something else.

Mira, you're gonna go on forward, take right wing with Theresa.

- Why not me? - You'll be out next shift.

Go, now!

Play the puck!

Dragons take the lead. 2 to 1. Mira Fink scores the goal.

Final!

Final!

Ok, you animals!

You did it. Hell of a game. You earned it. Enjoy the victory ride!

Who's next?

Me.

Midwife?

You're saying you teach mothers how to breastfeed?

Yes.

That too.

- Have a nice evening. - Ciao.

Do you remember

when Mom bought you these patent leather shoes with heels

for my First Communion?

Yes, I hid them

and you found them the year after on the Easter egg hunt.

Not bad.

So, who's buying the next round?

Clear, strong pigmentation, from the skin.

Strong nose.

You also already get a hint of quince, of star anise.

That's not the wine you think it is.

It's a totally different wine and it's overpriced here.

And...

...it doesn't taste good.

Might I squeeze in there?

- We can budge over. - Or that way.

- Pretty dress. - Thanks.

May I buy you a drink?

No thanks.

I can buy my own.

You've got something there.

Hey...

You have something there.

Funny.

Paul?

Think that's funny?

What were you thinking?

You do the rest.

You look ridiculous!

I mustn't fall asleep.

Sorry.

What for?

You're welcome to have a shower if you want.

I have to go back down.

Ladies... So, today's practice is not going to be anything crazy.

For the game next Sunday we're going to keep the same line up.

Mira, you're first line right wing instead of Melanie...

Why her instead of me?

Yes, why?

And...

A scout will be in the crowd next Sunday during the finals.

Is this scout coming from the U.S.?

Yes. From the NWHL.

So cool!

See you on the ice in 10 minutes ladies.

C'mon girls, show what you got today!

What the hell is all this about? Hey, Mira!

What is it, Melli?

Did you pay her to play instead of me?

- What's the deal? - Melli!

Don't be a drama queen!

First she takes away your "C" and now you take my place?

You were never good enough for that.

No one needs you, not as captain and even less as a player.

- Do us all a favor and quit. - Girls, we need to be on the ice.

That's enough!

Don't interfere. It's about the team.

What are you saying?

Why do you think she didn't get a black helmet?

She knew she was leaving. It was all arranged with Susan.

Behind our backs.

The scout is coming to see her and her alone.

No one wants to see us play.

You don't give a shit about us.

Why should I?

- You are not a team. - What are you talking about?

You have no team spirit. You don't support each other.

You don't know each other's strengths.

You're a bunch of egoists.

You don't give a shit about each other.

And you're a real team player?

I don't know why I even tried to be nice.

I'm going to do the only thing people can do with you:

run away.

Are you okay?

Gotcha!

Look!

Where's your sweetheart?

How can you live with yourself?

What is it about your fucking games?

You'll spend your life running away.

Think you're any less of a coward?

With your fucking hockey stick up your ass.

You don't have the guts to do anything.

- Want to play? - Yes.

What's up?

- What's up with you? - Enough!

Sorry, gents.

Now who's the coward?

Mom.

Sit down.

- Are you a police officer? - Yes, I'm...

No, it's just...

Grandpa?

Grandpa?

Someone's here to see you.

Hello, Grandpa.

Hello.

Done something wrong?

Who did you fight with?

You got old, Grandpa

Don't get cheeky!

I...

...tried...

I tried to stop Grandma's bleeding.

But...

...nothing worked.

I sat with her for 17 minutes.

The ambulance got there in 23 minutes.

Grandpa.

Why's all my stuff still here?

You could have come back two days later,

or a week or a month.

Thanks.

- Need anything else? - No thanks.

Good night.

You could have warned me.

Maybe I'll wear Grandpa's suit more often.

Perhaps he won't look for you then.

I'll stay if you want me to.

Mom?

I thought...

...you'd gone with him.

What?

I thought everyone's gone and I'm to blame.

No one is to blame, Mom.

You might want to look through the things.

I don't know what you want to keep.

I'd like to apologize.

You don't honestly think you can just come back!

You're kidding.

Mellie, let her talk!

I'm sorry.

Theresa, I didn't mean to hurt you.

I apologize to all of you.

Theresa's right, we're not a team.

And I wasn't a good captain for you.

Or for myself.

Please give me another chance.

I'll make good use of it.

Unbelievable.

If you don't, then...

...thank you for the last few years.

Even if I didn't show it, you were very important to me.

What do you say, ladies? Can Mira play?

- It's up to Theresa. - Yes.

No thanks.

Work it out between you.

- I'm in favor of her coming back. - Yes.

Are you serious? She's crazy!

Okay, then let's vote on it.

I'm in favor.

Come on, girls, nobody's perfect. We've all made mistakes.

Come on.

Guess it's pretty clear.

Come on, Mira, get changed.

Get ready and join your team.

The final is here.

60 minutes, ladies, 60 minutes left in this season.

Enjoy it, ladies, and the most fun is to take that ice, claim it

and fucking get it done, ladies.

Let's get ready and have a great game.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to today's final

of the Austrian Women's Hockey League.

Today's final is between the home team, the Dragons,

and the guests, the Lakers.

What's wrong with you? Try this one more time!

Here we go! Keep it up!

Stick, stick, hop!

Go, go, go! Yes!

Get that drive in the middle!

Let's go, Mira!

Keep playing.

End of the first period. There's now an 18-minute intermission.

I'm sorry.

Come on, ladies!

Find the open man!

The scout came looking for you, but we couldn't find you.

Sorry!

Yes, yes! Here we go! Come on, ladies!

What the heck?

Goal to the Lakers.

Hockey sticks!

- Wrong way! - Oh, c'mon!

- Yes, come on. Keep working! - Come on!

Goal to the Dragons.

Scored by Theresa Egger.

End of the third period. It's a tie.

After an intermission, five minutes overtime.

It's gonna be a five minute overtime, only three on three.

First goal takes it all. We gotta be on.

Now three on three... You got the whole ice, so use it!

You're faster. They can't keep up if you turn it on.

Get this, ladies! It's your game!

On ice! Melanie, Mira, Theresa! Let's go, ladies!

Dragons on three! One, two, three! Dragons!

- You take the bully. - I'll make sure I get it back there.

Come on, ladies! Come on, Dragons! Get this face off!

Let's go, Dragons!

Ready?

Take away the options!

Get it back! Go, go, go!

Play! Let's go! Play! Sticks on the ice! Hands down!

Stay on your man!

Change!

Skate!

Come on, Mira!

Goal for the Dragons!

The deciding goal for the title of the Austrian Women's Hockey League.

That's what winners look like.

Well?

I'm in for the try-out in June.

Congratulations.

- Really? - Yes.

And what are you doing till then?
