Every human being...

Is a universe within itself...

floating...

In endless darkness

Aimless, lonely...

so lonely.

Or.

Maybe it's just me.

Single or double room? -I am alone.

Your dog doesn't like me, I believe.

Tomorrow morning I have to be here: It's a cafe, with live performances.

Do you know it? -One thing at a time.

Is it far? It is vitally important That I be there tomorrow morning.

Then come.

Bed linen is changed twice changed twice a week.

If you want it done more often, it will cost extra.

No TV in the room. We can arrange one, but that also costs extra.

You don't have to. I'm only staying one night.

No animals, no prostitutes, no uncivilized, loud or drunken behavior.

No smoking. No music, no jumping or running...

and absolutely no banging on the wall. This is a decent establishment.

Then come.

Toilet. Shower is further down the hall.

Beware. Don't cause us any trouble. Good night.

Good night.

savior

Hey.

Are you afraid of death?

No pain, you know.

Don't confuse death with dying. They are not the same thing.

By no means the same.

You look very pale, dear. Don't you think he looks very pale?

Monchien. That's French.

But feel free to call me Ruth.

Her name is Sara.

Coffee?

Blood irritating.

Lost his head in the French Revolution.

What are you? A magician?

I know a few tricks. Nothing special.

I get away with it when the audience has a swig on.

How lovely. You must show us something, though.

Do you also cut people in half?

I have to go.

you are here

This is only for this part of the corridor.

We are terribly sorry that we cannot help you.

We haven't been outside in years.

All those stairs, our legs don't want that anymore...

Moreover, we have here everything we need. Right?

Stop. None of that is true at all.

Please. Anything can help.

You could ask the oracle. -Just ignore it. She's just babbling.

Do you mean a psychic?

You know how people chatter. All nonsense and bullshit.

I'm afraid there is anything else we can do for you.

Miss.

Right on time!

We have a new guest.

I'm looking for a bunch of kids. I think they came through here.

Here is my little entourage.

My leeches. Sucking me dry all over.

I... -Just calm down. It's in good hands.

Give the man some food. He's starving. -No, I have to find my stuff.

I am already very late.

Aurora? Ask someone's children to look for them. He lost them.

No. They are not my children. -If you'll excuse me for a moment. Aurora?

No, thanks.

Are you a journalist?

No, I...

Isn't she wonderful? I'm working on her biography.

So fascinating. Did you know that she is half gypsy?

That must be where her artistic drive comes from. But maybe she made that up.

Well, I really have to go now.

I am an artist, but on the face of it...

much of my work has nothing to do with art.

Look around you. The small, unimportant things, those are just essential.

The crux is to recognize what is important.

If you overlook the smallest detail, then your whole concert...

messed up.

I am a perfectionist.

I see you are packing. Are you leaving?

We move on, as it were.

Leaving with a bang. Tearing away with screeching tires.

Tearing away? Do you expect problems then?

Problems, problems, problems?

With whom?

With leaving. -Humble, well no.

It will be sensational. The tour of the century.

Fleeing makes no sense.

You really must taste the rabbit.

It is almost a sonata. Eat, for heaven's sake.

Why don't you stay, dear.

The age, lol. My son possesses an extremely poetic mind.

Come. Come. -Where are we going?

I really need to find my stuff.

Quick, get out of here. -What's going on?

You need to get out of here. -What about my stuff?

You pick those up later. The maestra is taking a bath. Come on.

Hurry up, people. Come on. Hurry up. Faster.

Quickly a little bit. Hurry up.

Now I missed my appointment.

Hurry up! We're in a hurry. In line.

In line, I said. Pace.

Where is your apron?

Don't stand there like that. Getting started. -I'm not...

You should be here.

Come on. You're behind. -Shoot up, asshole.

They are jealous, but you can't blame them.

Others have to toil for years for such a position.

And you weren't in here or you already had it.

But I'm not at all looking for a job.

Melinda obviously has a crush on you.

Who. -The chief's daughter.

No wonder that gives crooked eyes. They'll get over that.

I don't think she likes me.

See, that's what I mean. That just proves that she likes you.

She's got it big time. That much is clear.

I really have to get going now.

Why, this is a great place. You'll be fine here.

You may be happy with an assistant job, but I want to go higher.

I have reason to hope that soon get to work as a spooner.

Maybe as early as next week. Then the road is open to sorting....

then mixing... And eventually, if I work hard....

might even be correct, late next year.

I... I'm only here temporarily.

Early morning service tomorrow. Be on time.

Enter. -Maybe just one then...

Hey, wake up.

Get up, slacker. Hurry up, or we'll be late.

Forward. Yes, good.

Oh dear.

Whose shirt is this? -Help me for a moment.

Where is my suit? This is outrageous. I'm going to complain to the front desk.

First my luggage and now....

What are you doing?

How do you think you lost your suit?

Yes.

Yes, yes. He had done the same thing, you know.

Yes, perfect.

Did you hear that?

Probably a burst pipeline.

The water supply has been having quirks lately.

Nothing to worry about, mind you.

Time to go.

Respect.

That's what it's all about.

Can you tell me what this is?

That's an egg...

sir. -Exactly.

Few people realize its importance and potential.

It is easily underestimated.

But look closely.

A perfect scale...

which protects a whole world of potential.

It can stay in there, or we can bring it out.

But that requires vision.

How many years do you think it took me...

to achieve my current virtuoso craftsmanship achieve?

Thirty-five years.

Thirty-five years of hard work, unconditional love...

and worship.

Yes, worship.

Fascinatingly, even new culinary applications even now

for this undisputed queen of ingredients.

Do you realize the importance of what I am telling you?

I like you.

You have talent.

I saw that right away.

What is this, then?

The chief tells me to into eggs.

You got that from him? -He likes me.

What was that?

Did anyone hear that?

Occupied.

Go away.

Are you really him?

What do you mean?

Is it true what they say? Are you the savior?

What? -Time is running out.

You are confusing me with someone else. I am here only temporarily.

I am not the one you are looking for.

I am nobody.

Out of springs.

What do you look like, say.

Come. Hurry!

I'm not so good. -You should just eat breakfast.

I have to get out of here. I...

Very good. Throw everything out.

Bunch of jerks. Vandals they are.

Why aren't they just kicked out, along with their faggot parents?

Look at this. Outrageous it is.

What does that mean?

You're not taking it seriously, are you? I just don't get it.

To bunch of rascals. Help me remember: never have children.

Come with me.

How long have you worked here? -Seven years.

And how often did you go outside?

A couple of times, I think. No idea.

You don't think about that when you take your profession seriously. You know how it goes.

Do you know where the exit is?

Which one? -No matter which one.

You've never been outside, have you?

Of course it does.

Who cares anyway? Who cares?

You should be should be doing.

I've been reading about fermenting of eggs. The Chinese are masters at it.

The book is rather long-winded, but very informative. Required reading.

It has greatly greatly enriched.

I have come to tell you that I am leaving.

Please call the front desk so that the manager...

I totally understand your impatience. I really do. That's part of being young.

You don't want to wait. You want to move forward immediately. You don't want to be slowed down. I understand that.

But you know...

A natural like you...

must develop quietly. I am a firm believer in that.

A steady growth, so that you can undisturbed to full bloom

When the time is right, like a good wine.

What game are you playing? What do you want from me?

I am not special. I am not the one you are looking for.

Oh, you are just very special. I saw that right away.

Believe me, I'm really nothing special at all. I'm...

I am nobody.

Please.

Take me to the exit.

Here's what I'm going to do. A talent like you needs challenges.

Therefore, I decided...

moving you to the beating department.

No.

Is this what you want?

Please.

What are you doing? -You are not allowed to leave.

You destroy an old man's dreams. All his hopes.

We are on the same side, believe me. Be patient. Have faith.

I have such high hopes for you.

Please.

Trust me.

Anton?

Do you think I'm retarded?

Why?

"Why? This was your plan from the beginning.

You want to go higher and you don't care who you trample along the way.

Do you mean this job? That whole job doesn't interest me.

The chief put it in the lap.

I want to put in a good word for you.

I don't need your help, mister.

Please. Where would I be without you?

Then I stood here without pants.

Time for a drink. -then I'd probably be walking around in my nakedness right now.

I just wanted to talk.

Have you seen the furniture? -Yes, big cleaning probably.

No, nothing cleaning. I stretched a wire last night....

I had a theory. At first it seemed absurd, but it wouldn't let me go.

So I had to test it. But how? A wire! And then I wake up and there you have it!

There you have what? -We need to warn everyone here.

What are you doing weird in the morning.

I know how this sounds, but I can explain.

Can that be done on foot? We're already late. -No.

Yesterday the wire hung tight.... this morning it hung limp.

Do you know what that means? I was right.

We don't have time for games. Cut the crap.

No. Look. Now look. Look, look, look, look.

Anton...

Watch out.

Out of the way. Out of the way.

What's happening 'r?

Space is shrinking.

Do you have any idea what is causing this? -No, not a clue.

We must remain calm and think ahead.

Let's divide the kitchen staff split into two.

The small group goes in search of the cause

and the rest are trying to find the exit.

Meanwhile, we bring guests up to speed....

and we can evacuate the place in an orderly fashion. -Evacuate? What are you talking about?

There is tremendous stress on the building. That's going to go wrong sooner or later....

We need to get everyone out as soon as possible.

Which "everyone? -The kitchen staff. Everyone.

Are you out of your mind? What time is it? -Quarter past seven, sir.

We are terribly behind. Guests complain about where their breakfast is left.

But surely breakfast is less important than human life?

Less important? The reputation of this kitchen is at stake.

Our lives are at stake, and dead people don't have breakfast.

Is that a threat? Do you want to take over authority here?

You are not listening to me. You don't understand what I am saying. I do not question your authority.

I still wave the scepter here. Without me behind you, you are no one.

You are wasting time. Listen, everyone.

Don't you dare.

I cannot do this on my own. You are forcing me to do this.

The hotel is shrinking. I have proof.

Then see for yourself. The measurements are no longer correct.

Everything works differently. You bump into everything and everyone.

You know I am right.

Time is running out. Together, we still have a chance.

But why us? -Let the diner kitchen do it nicely.

I'm done with this bullshit. Getting to work.

To Him do you listen? He is you around. He does not know what is needed.

Wake up. Together we have a chance. -You're fired! Get out of my kitchen, you!

Is your life worth nothing then? Is your life worth nothing then?

Throw that man out of my kitchen, now.

Let me go. Put me down.

Listen now. You are making a big mistake.

Thank you very much, young man. How lovely to see you again.

What would we have done without you?

Are you leaving here?

Heavens, no. The very idea.

Well, we're rearranging.

It no longer fits in the room.

You're that nice young man who couldn't find the reception desk.

How nice to see you again. Have you found it by now?

No. -That's curious, isn't it?

Don't start again.

Rumors once circulated ...

About a divine presence in this hotel.

We French love mysteries.

Although, of course, it is lark.

Did I mention that we are French?

Yes.

I have not been defeated yet.

Hello, doggie. Hello.

Where is the exit?

Yes, where is the exit? Show me the exit.

Go on.

Do you know where the exit is, stupid beast?

Hello?

Is anyone there?

What do you want from me?

Who are you?

savior

Are you sitting here now?

Who chalked that on the wall?

I am not the savior.

Enough.

We have to mark all the corridors. This is very important.

Otherwise, we will keep checking endless corridors.

I wish it could all be faster....

but I fear this is our only chance.

We don't have much time. Let's hurry up.

Hey, hello.

Hey. Hold on. Stop.

Stop. Put that back.

That's my toothbrush.

How long have you been here?

Where is my food?

Okay...

If you stay here...

there must be rules.

If you want to eat here, you have to bring it yourself.

And stay away from my...

stuff.

So we get to die While you are eating?

You have finished my food. There is nothing left.

Exit found?

No.

No, we're full. There is no more room here.

No, no one can get in anymore. Don't let them in.

Okay, moving forward.

Make yourself at home.

You can still go back, you know.

The chief hasn't been the same since your departure.

Come on.

But don't say anything crazy, okay?

We just pretend nothing happened.

As if nothing happened? Look around.

What are you talking about?

You guys are insane.

Is really no one interested in what is really going on?

In truth?

You think you have the truth.

But why is your truth better than mine?

Record.

No. Definitely not. It's definitely a mistake, ma'am.

Of course. Thank you kindly ma'am. Later. -No, no. Hello? Hello?

Who was that? -The manager.

Who else? It's her line.

Why would you do such a thing?

I just picked up the phone.

What is wrong with you?

Are you in your right mind? Idiot that you are. Idiot.

Why are you shaking that man?

It was just a phone call. Be glad he answered at all.

We are not your receptionists.

I was waiting for that call. -Then you should have stayed with it.

How was he supposed to know? -Chop off our heads right then.

What's wrong with you? Stupid idiot. Don't be so... Get up.

Get up, you idiot. Get up. Get up. Fucking...

I am calm. I'm not doing anything, I swear.

I am calm. Nothing is going on.

Besides, before you came we didn't need an exit.

So now it's all my fault?

Calling yourself a bit of a savior.

I haven't called myself anything at all. I'm not even supposed to be here.

You are part of the problem, they say.

Gee.

Check it out.

It gets more and more beautiful.

Coming here.

Go away, away, away, away.

Way to go.

There you are.

See? Was I right after all. Had I said right?

You look terrible.

Is there a lot of damage?

All sorts of things have been moved and so on, but that's fixable, I guess.

Sabotaging parasites.

Did you know that among the court ladies of Louis XVI, coffee was totally hip?

They used to gather in large numbers, drink coffee, smoke opium....

And release all the canaries. Coffee? -No, thank you.

I need to prevent as quickly as possible them from erasing any more markings.

Get him.

What is that noise?

I will never get out of here. Even if I knew where the lobby was....

they would never let me go. Now listen to them.

Have another piece of chocolate cake.

That is very childish thinking. How naive.

That you entered through the lobby....

doesn't mean that you have to go out that way too.

What do you mean?

Just that the entrance is not always be the exit.

And vice versa, of course.

Yes, could be.

Perhaps I have overlooked.

Perhaps the output is...

well in this.

Oh, still not.

He's not in it.

Perhaps the exit is in this.

No, it didn't.

Perhaps the exit is in this.

No.

Or maybe he's right here.

Magnificent.

Indescribable. Awful.

Is this what you meant? Is this the output?

Perhaps.

How do you mean "maybe"?

You are beautifully not going into that thing. -We've never seen this before.

It looks dangerous.

It is totally different from what I expected.

Come with me. -We are fine here, thank you.

You cannot stay here. This is madness. -Coffee?

Coffee.

Move. Ram that door open.

What do you want me to do?

It's the oracle. -O, the oracle.

Long live the savior. -Howard.

Can you show me the exit?

What exactly do you want?

You are tired.

I feel it.

You won't keep this up for long.

What do you want me to do?

The oracle, the oracle ...

the oracle, the oracle.

You must also be free.

The oracle, the oracle ...

the oracle.

The oracle, the oracle.

Don't. Stop doing that. You make him dead. You're killing him.

Let me pass. No, get out of there. Get away.

Get out. Stay there. Don't.

Don't. Murderer. Murderer.

Is this good?

Is this good?

It all seemed so incredibly important.

No idea anymore why.

Minuscule particles Clinging to each other....

Looking for security.

What lies after the universe?
