VIENA, 1919

God save you, Queen and Mother of mercy,

Life, sweetness and our hope. God saves you.

We call you the desperate sons of Eve.

To you we sigh, moaning and crying,

In this valley of tears

"Travel" is written with a j, dear.

Do you really want

You do not?

Ned baby

your father is too busy at the embassy to accompany us.

I know, but if I wasn't ...

We will go you and me alone.

- Goodbye dear. - Bye, Edgar.

Good trip.

Goodbye son.

I hope the treatment is a success.

Be good and take care of your mother for me.

I will, dad.

SECRET IN FLAME

Mom, they have awesome chess down there.

The pieces are huge.

Can we play a game?

Later, darling.

After having gone to the sanatorium.

We will wait centuries.

Why don't you take a walk?

How boring...

Unless you come.

I still have to bathe, dress,

and do all the boring things a mother has to do.

Why don't you go out there and inspect the land?

We will meet later.

Turn around!

Show me the gloves!

I have never received complaints from them.

Hands down.

To work.

Winter Palace Hotel, tell me?

At nine.

Hey, we don't open until ten.

What?

That we don't open until ten:

Get out of there!

Or I tell your mother.

Leave the boy alone.

Be a little nicer to guests.

I was just looking.

Would you like to do more than just watch?

Like what?

Go for a walk.

With you?

Why not?

- I don't even know him. - Sorry.

Christian Alexander María von Hauenstein.

- And you? - Edmund.

Edmund Tuchman.

Nice to meet you, Edmund. Can I call you Edmund?

Sure it can.

And you can call me Alexander.

Well now that we know each other

What about taking a walk?

Well the truth, I would love to, but, you see ...

Ah, I understand.

Your father wouldn't allow it.

Sure he wouldn't mind, but he's at home in Vienna now.

We can phone you to ask for your permission.

I could ask my mother.

Is here.

He's still in bed, but I could ask him.

At these hours? To a lady?

It would be most impolite.

At another time, maybe, but ...

Are you going to be here a lot?

One week.

So we have a lot of time.

Now we could go scouting then.

Where?

Therein lies the pleasure of exploring.

Never know where you are going.

You like this?

Yes, quite.

Not to you?

Well I thought it would be a rather boring place

for someone your age.

The truth is that it is quite boring.

Are you here on vacation?

No, well, something like that.

You see, my father said

that I should undergo treatment at the sanatorium.

- Is your father a doctor? - No, he's a diplomat.

Well our doctor in Vienna

He said I had to undergo treatment.

- Can you ride a horse? - No.

It is a wonderful feeling. You should learn.

I can no longer do it due to the state of my lungs.

What is that?

It is an old observation tower.

It has a very peculiar legend.

They say that for 20 years, a man was building it

stone upon stone.

And when he finally finished laying the last stone ...

He threw himself from on high!

Why?

Go know. I have no idea.

Maybe he was bored.

- Why are you undergoing treatment? - I have asthma.

The doctor says it is very serious.

Don't pay much attention to what the doctors say.

They always believe they have an answer for everything.

Like diplomats.

Oh, it's closed.

They once gave me ...

six months of life.

- When? - Almost two years ago.

And I'm still alive and well. You do not see?

- What happened? - It was during the war.

An enemy soldier insisted on skewering me with his bayonet.

If I remember correctly, he was also American

like you.

OMG.

That poor American also said, "My God."

- Why? - I was faster.

Let's go.

- Do you want us to go up? - Isn't it dangerous?

Oh, it is possible. Although the things that are worthwhile always are.

¡Ed!

- Damn, it's my mother. - Really?

- Yes. - Do you have to go?

- Yes. - We'll go up another time.

Oh, by the way, I'm only half American.

- Seriously? - My mother is half Austrian.

Edmund! Hurry up honey! We are going to arrive late.

Who was that?

He is a baron named Alexander and he lives in a castle.

During the war he was wounded with a bayonet.

That is why you are here receiving treatment like me.

Well, you will not receive yours as we are late. Let's hurry up.

Maybe you can take us in your car.

He has the most impressive car you have ever seen.

Ned, we don't even know him.

I do.

Many things can precipitate an attack

in a patient with bronchial asthma,

especially when there are emotional disturbances or tensions.

Is that your heart?

It seems to beat so fast ...

Ah yes, but don't be alarmed,

electrical discharge produces this effect. It is almost normal.

Now look here

and here. This is where we can see

inflammation caused by asthma attacks.

Since you are going to have regular inhalation sessions,

we have all the possibilities

to be fully recovered when you hit puberty.

There is something I will never forget.

When I saw your heart beat inside its tiny box of bones

mine was about to split.

¡Alexander!

- Ned ... - Mira,

- It's the baron. - Even so, it is inelegant

greet with the spoon.

I hope not to interrupt you.

Absolutely.

So let me tell you what a pleasure it has been to enjoy

from the company of this gentleman this morning.

I trust it wasn't a bother.

Unlike,

it is an extremely pleasant company.

How did they find the sanatorium?

The coachman knew the way.

I hope Dr. Weiss has n't alarmed her too much

with their theories.

No, no, it was most reassuring.

Come on, Ned, it's nine.

- Time to go to bed. - Are they leaving now?

I'm not even tired.

Remember that Dr. Weiss said you should get plenty of rest.

- Yeah, but Alexander said ... - What I say is what counts.

You should know by now.

- Thank you, Baron ... - Oh, excuse me.

Christian Alexander María von Hauenstein.

Sonya Tuchman.

Excuse me.

Come on, Ned.

Will we continue our explorations tomorrow ?

- I would love to! What time? - At eight o'clock.

- In the classroom? - I will be there.

Goodnight.

"How I love her!

'What happiness', I thought,

'if we were to live together among the trees, in the fields,

without ever growing, without making us wiser,

always being children,

and wander hand in hand

through the flowery meadows1. "

- Mother. - Yes?

Can I get in Alexander's car ?

No, honey, you just don't.

No, I mean with Alexander.

I don't think your father exactly approved of it.

What you say is what counts, remember?

We will discuss it tomorrow.

"Wander hand in hand through the flowery meadows ...

and lay our heads in the grass at night

immersing ourselves in purity and peace

for the birds to bury us when we die.

Images like these were always on my mind,

exempt from all real world,

illuminated by the light of our innocence,

and you wander like the stars of the sky. "

Come on, quickly, in line.

Let's see what you look like.

Turn around.

Show me the gloves.

Standing tall, maintaining a straight posture is important.

Above all, you have to always be kind.

You don't have very clean gloves.

¿Alexander?

¿Alexander?

¿Alexander?

Where were you?

Here.

Waiting for you.

But I have looked for you everywhere.

You have not looked for me well.

I've been here since eight o'clock. You want breakfast?

I thought we were going exploring.

Yes, but we have plenty of time.

How did you sleep?

All right. Well, no.

My mother will be down any minute. If we don't leave soon ...

Maybe she wants to join us.

Can't you and I go alone?

Clear.

Why haven't you slept well?

Ah, I had a nightmare. It happens to me often.

Come a little closer.

Yes!

You also have cat eyes.

- That's bad? - No!

Quite the opposite,

they allow you to see things much better in the dark.

Dreams

Ghosts

All those things.

Have you ever seen a ghost?

Of course.

Really? Where?

A fine ...

Every morning when I look in the mirror.

Do you know what i did

I rubbed his face with his still warm blood.

And I threw myself to the ground.

Psychically, he was dead.

He wasn't pretending to be dead, he was.

I was among pieces and guts of corpses,

of dying friends who shouted: "Mother, mother."

There I was and ...

Good morning, Mrs. Tuchman.

Good morning, Baron.

Sweetie.

- Follow. What happened after? - I'll tell you later. Mrs. Tuchman,

has dawned with ...

a splendid morning.

Yes, I thought you were going for a walk.

No, we have decided to have breakfast earlier.

And then we thought maybe take a car ride

but I just found out that surely her husband ...

I would not approve of Edmund coming alone with me,

so let me ask you:

"Would you like to join us for a walk?"

- Very kind, but frankly ... - Mom, you promised.

Edmund, I didn't promise anything.

And we must be in the sanatorium at 11.00.

That doesn't matter, I have to go there too

and I can take them and since they are now ...

at nine o'clock,

I would like you to be my guests

in the sanatorium pool.

I do not know how to swim.

Really?

I will show you.

Really?

Of course.

Leave me, mom, please. Leave me please.

Can't it go faster?

Of course.

But on the ice ...

Anyway, why end the trip so soon?

Edmund says you are half Austrian.

My mother was from Vienna, yes.

And don't you speak German?

What makes you think that?

Be careful I'm stupid.

What are you saying?

Don't they teach you German at school?

Yes, but I have only been a quarter of the first year.

What is all that?

That's the oil control, the windshield wiper,

the pressure, the starter ...

I also learned English during a course,

but I assure you it was very long.

An incarceration course, I must confess.

Were you in jail?

Yes.

- Why? - Edmund ...

You killed someone?

Tosomeone? Hundreds of people.

I think the baron means that he was a prisoner of war.

Yes, indeed.

I spent a year in a prison camp near Cambridge.

- How was it? - Bah, it wasn't that bad, really.

You see, Edmund, it's never the place ...

but the people you know.

This hotel, for example,

I was getting bored to death

until you arrived.

Edmund, come on.

Don't be a coward, come.

I can not.

Let's go.

Jump! I hold you.

Jump

- Ned, don't jump, you don't know. - Sure you can.

Let's go. Jump!

- Mom, I jumped. - Yes!

You did it.

Now you will see how easy it is.

So. Come on, float.

And now throw your head back. That's.

Keep your back straight.

Throw your head backward. Just relax.

Breath deeply. You see it?

Breathe deeply.

You see it?

You are floating.

In her arms, the child was dead.

Have you no brothers or sisters?

No.

Neither friends nor colleagues?

To my mother.

But apart from your mother.

None.

We have only been living in Vienna for a year.

And in all that time you haven't made a single friend?

I mean a girlfriend.

I have not looked for any.

Well, I think it's time to start.

What?

Well, probably not.

Why complicate your life with women before you need them?

Also, it would be very difficult for you to find

- to another as beautiful as your mother. - Do you think she's pretty?

You do not? I do.

Sure, but it's normal for me, right?

Did the bayonet do that to you?

What?

Didn't you believe me?

I do, but not mom.

It still hurts?

What is that?

I will show you.

You see it?

I do not feel anything.

Nothing at all?

Well...

No.

One moment, gentleman.

It's three o'clock, Master Tuchman, your time is up.

But the baron said he would be here at two.

Sorry, the general reserved the game for 3:00.

Please.

- Please, General. - Thank you.

- It's okay like that? - Thank you.

Don't forget that the baron can do whatever he wants.

Perhaps our company will bore you.

None of that, he said he liked me.

And I think you do too.

He thinks you are very pretty.

Check the queen.

Never mind, I had already lost.

The important thing is how you win or lose, not whether you win or lose.

The Austrians did not believe that they would lose the war.

What does the word "tot" mean?

¿"Tot"?

In German.

What does it mean?

Dead.

Why?

It's not important.

What do you think of Alexander?

Well he seems ... a charming man,

although you know him much better than I do.

You wouldn't believe the stories he told me about the war.

No.

Probably not.

Checkmate.

Would you like to sit with us, Baron?

No thanks, maybe another time.

¡Alexander!

Where have you been? I've been waiting for you for centuries.

- Didn't they give you my message? - What message?

Oh, that janitor ...

- What a calamity. - But what happened?

I was a bit late with Dr. Weiss at the sanitarium and ...

Good evening, Mrs. Tuchman.

Good evening, Baron.

Edmund was telling me that the janitor didn't give him my message.

So I'm apologizing.

- May I accompany you? - Of course.

Thank you.

Will you tell me the rest of the story?

Which one? Waiter,

Please, another bottle of Le Veuve Cliquot, 1912.

The one you were telling me this morning.

When you were caught between the two fronts

And you pretended to be dead

You put the blood of a wounded soldier on your face .

Not now, we're having dinner.

Your mother is absolutely right.

Some people have a delicate stomach.

- The opposite of mine. - Alexander has the biggest scar

- that you've ever seen. - Edmund, that's enough.

Why did you say that I was dead?

I said that?

Yes, in the pool.

Dijiste: "Das Kind wartot".

"The boy was dead."

Goethe said that, not me.

- Ma'am, you have a call. - Thank you.

It will only be a moment.

Who is Goethe?

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

Don't you know him?

Well you should.

Do you want to try a little champagne?

Yes please.

And now you will hear the poem.

You have reminded me of the boy from a Goethe poem called "Erlking".

"Who rides at this time of night

in the middle of the strong hurricane? "

He is a father with his son.

The father protects the child in his arms.

He presses it strongly so that it is not cold.

"My son, why are you so scared?" Asks the father.

"Why are you hiding your face?"

"Father, don't you see the erlking, the erlking ...

with his crown and his robe? "

"My son, it is but a reflection in the mist."

And then the erlking whispers:

"Precious child,

do you want to come with me?

My daughters will take care of you.

And every night they will dance around you.

They will rock you, they will dance ...

and they will sing until you fall asleep. "

"But, father, my father,

do not you see them?

To the daughters of the erlking there in the dark? "

"My son, my son, I see very well.

They are but willows with their gray glints. "

And the erlking says again:

"Dear child: come with me.

We will play wonderful games together .

There are many bright flowers by the sea.

And my mother is wearing a gold dress. "

"But, father, father ...

Don't you hear what the Erlking is promising me? "

"Calm down, calm down, my son,

it is only the wind that whistles through the leaves. "

And then the erlking whispers in his ear:

"I love you".

"I love you.

And if you don't want to come voluntarily, I'll take you by force! "

"Father, father, now it's my turn.

The erlking has done me horrible damage. "

The father shuddered and rode off through the wind.

He carried the grieving child in his arms .

He got home as soon as he could.

But...

"In his arms ..."

"The boy was dead."

It's nine o'clock, Ned.

- But, mom ... - It was your father

who telephoned. He's been surprised you're still up.

But can't Alexander tell me that story of the war?

I promised you would go to bed immediately.

I'll tell you what we are going to do.

I tell the story to your mother

And then she could tell you about it tomorrow morning, huh?

But...

Ned, go lie down and I promise I'll be up right away.

So can you tell me tonight?

If you obey and go up immediately,

maybe I can tell you about it.

Thank you.

- Won't you forget anything? - I won't forget anything. Goes up.

Good night, Alexander.

Good night, Edmund, and ...

Sweet dreams.

Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners,

now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Edmund has told me that her husband

spends most of the time away

- because of his work as a diplomat. -Yes.

Unfortunately for Edmund.

Of that I'm sure.

I dedicate all my time to him,

But a boy needs male relationships like yours.

You are learning at your expense.

At my expense, no. You're doing me a favor, you intrigue me.

Like her mother.

I watch them. To both.

Almost like lovers.

Apparently, the greatest loves are the impossible loves.

And in all a tragedy hides.

Absolutely.

To consume love is to make it mortal.

Mother!

¡Ned!

You should be sleeping long ago.

I was waiting for you.

By the history.

What story?

You know, Alexander's, in the war.

Go back to bed immediately or you'll chill.

Why did you take so long?

It was a very long story.

Oh yeah? What happened?

Honey, it's too late to tell you the story.

- But you promised! - No, Ned, I didn't promise anything.

I just said maybe I would tell it.

No, it was not. You said if it went up ...

I'm not going to argue with you, Edmund. Go to sleep immediately.

He is my friend.

I met him first.

I know it darling.

That is precisely why it will be better

let Alexander himself tell you the story.

You know I'm a disaster telling stories and I forget them.

Also, you could have a nightmare.

Sleep well, honey.

- Good morning, Baron. - Good Morning.

Lord Baron ...

- Has my manager called? - Yes, 20 minutes ago.

He was about to close the sales contract.

- Wait, there's mail for you. - Thank you.

Hi.

Good morning, Ned.

I have been waiting for you.

Really?

All morning.

As you know, my mother told me that she would tell me the story

from when you got caught between both fronts.

Well, he didn't tell me.

Do not tell me?

Well no, he didn't.

He said to ask you to tell me.

Did that say?

And you might have a nightmare

but I don't have nightmares about those things.

Do you?

I'm afraid our story is going to have to wait.

Please, Alexander ...

Good...

I'll tell you the story Could you do me a favor?

Of course.

Could you go to the sanatorium and ask

if my cousin, Count Grundheim, has arrived yet?

And if so, please tell him

that today it will be totally impossible for me to have lunch with him.

Grundheim, conde Grundheim.

- In agreement. - Thank you.

I go now?

I go now?

Yes, if you are so kind.

Please, will you tell my mother where I have gone?

- Clear. - Will you tell him when he comes down?

- Yes. - Count ...?

Grundheim. Repeat.

"Conde Grundheim."

No, "Grund".

Reason...

- Grundheim. - Grundheim.

Thanks, Ned.

Can you spell the name for me?

G- R-U-N-H-E-l-M.

We don't have anyone with that name here.

Well they must have it. He is the cousin of Baron Von Hauenstein.

He will arrive today on a trip.

Your name is not on our reservation list.

Maybe you haven't made a reservation.

Then you will not be able to stay here, we are full.

Good morning, Mrs. Isambard.

Could you reserve a compartment for me tonight?

There was no more, ma'am.

Perhaps it is written with two enes.

At six I have to be in Gutenstein.

G- R-U-N-N...

There is no one with that name, neither with one nor with two enes.

You have a good day.

If it's okay with you, ma'am,

Shall I book you for seven?

Alexander! They know nothing of Count Grund ...

Where is the baron?

As you say?

Yes. A reservation? Yes you can. For what day?

Excuse me, have you seen the baron around here ?

- No. - It's very important.

Ask the doorman there.

No reply.

There's no answer.

¡Alexander!

¡Ned!

- What happens? - Where did you go?

I've been looking for you everywhere.

And we were looking for you.

Did you give the message to my cousin?

- He's not staying there. - What?

He has no reserve nor is he known.

Are you sure you have remembered the name correctly?

- Sí, conde Grundheim. - Grundheim.

They have never heard of him.

It's very strange, I don't like it. It should have arrived this morning.

How weird.

Ah good. Anyway, I think you've earned ...

ten crowns.

So your trip will not have been in vain.

Ned.

You will not say anything?

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Okay, are we going to have lunch?

Ned ... that's a lot of money

for such a simple errand.

Don't you think you should be a little more grateful?

Why were you here with Alexander?

We already told you, we were going to look for you.

That's impossible.

Why?

The sanitarium is in the other direction.

Well, we look in that direction.

Since we can't find you

We thought you might come around here looking for us.

Which you have done, haven't you?

Let's have lunch before it starts to snow seriously.

Ned, if you like veal.

It is raw in the center.

Set it aside and eat the vegetables.

Do you like ice skating?

Yes, I quite like it. And you?

Of course. There is a tournament this afternoon.

Would you like to go see it?

- With you? - No sweetie.

Alexander has offered to drive me to Badén.

I have to do a lot of boring shopping.

We could leave you skating

and pick you up when we come back from shopping, what do you say?

In agreement.

But if it doesn't bother you,

I would rather go shopping with you.

I like going shopping a lot.

Ned, you always get really bored when you come shopping with me.

No way.

Well, sometimes. Besides, I've never been

and Baden.

It's a very boring place, especially the art gallery.

The art gallery?

To tell the truth, it is not an art gallery , it is more of a museum.

And there is a very boring exhibition

that your mother would like to see.

It is true. After shopping.

Really, Ned, all of that would bore you terribly,

while you love skating .

I also love painting.

Since when?

For a long time.

How?

Bavarian landscapes of the 17th century?

They're my favorites.

Badausse looks nice, why do you want to sell it?

It's very pretty, except for the weather.

Six months of snow in winter, rain ...

Will we have a chance to be alone?

Maybe tonight after dinner

- when Edmund goes to bed. - Why do you speak German?

Is there a law that prohibits it?

After all, we are in Austria.

- But I don't understand. - It's about time you learned it.

Where are the landscapes?

Around you.

Well, we have arrived.

I think I'm going to hang out for a bit. My head hurts a lot.

- What have you said? - Edmund, don't be so rude.

If you are so interested, I said

I'm going to lie down because my head hurts a lot.

You'll have to distract yourself without me.

Shall we have dinner together tonight?

No.

What are we going to do, Alexander?

Thanks thanks.

We could go skating.

Or we can play chess, right?

Or maybe go for a swim.

Or keep exploring at the top of the tower.

- Or just go for a walk. - Thank you.

Whatever you want.

What have I done so that you don't love me anymore?

What?

Have I done something wrong? I bother you?

Of course not, Ned.

I have so many things on my mind right now ...

I will tell you what we will do.

When I have finished my work, I will try to make it up to you.

You will do it?

- How? - As you like. What would you like?

I do not know.

Just to be with you.

Will you let me stay late tonight ?

In agreement.

You will do it?

- If that's what you want ... - Promised?

- I'll try. - And won't you let mom make me

- to go to bed at nine? - Leave it on my account.

This was exquisite.

How about yours?

Very good.

What about you, Ned?

Pretty good, thanks.

Great.

If you'll excuse me, I think I'll go up to my room.

You promised me...

You can stay up later if you want, Ned.

But I'm going to bed.

Goodnight Sweetheart.

- Good evening, Baron. - Good evening, Mrs. Tuchman.

Will you tell me the rest of the story now?

Which one of them?

Well ... when you covered your face with another man's blood.

Ah, when I stayed between the two fronts, yes.

I think I shouldn't tell you that kind of story anymore ...

- before going to bed. - But I'm not going to bed yet.

- Mom said I could stay ... - Listen, Edmund.

I'll be honest, I don't feel like it.

I'm very tired.

Goodnight.

Early tomorrow we have an appointment at the sanatorium.

You better go to bed and sleep well tonight.

¿Ned?

Are you okay?

Yes.

Why have you closed the door?

Is there a law that prohibits it? After all, I am in the bathroom.

Don't fall asleep and drown.

Have you taken ephedrine?

Good night my Love.

Alexander, yo ...

I just came to say good night to you.

Already...

To give you back the key.

Mother!

Mother!

¡Ned!

Mother!

¡Ned!

Come on, hurry.

Quick.

Not so fast. Long, deep breaths.

That's. That's.

Another deep breath and you'll feel good.

Breathe, breathe.

That's it, honey.

That's.

That's.

Breathe slowly and deeply.

Breathe slowly and deeply.

Breathe slowly and deeply.

That's.

I'll tell you what we're going to do.

After going to the sanatorium, why do n't we go ice skating?

- Would you like it? - Together?

Just you and me.

Listen Ned

Do you remember Central Park when the lake froze?

Where?

In New York.

Before the war.

Oh yeah. And you were chasing me across the ice.

You used to chase the ducks on the ice

and I to you to avoid that you fell and we both fell face down.

Good Morning.

Good morning, Baron.

Good morning, Ned.

Did you sleep well?

Not at all. Edmund had a bad night.

I also.

He suffered an asthma attack.

Very strong, so we are going to go to the sanatorium after breakfast.

Sorry, Ned.

And then we'll go skating.

Oh, so you're feeling better this morning.

Much better, thanks.

Great.

I'm glad to hear it.

Therefore.

No,

not only for that.

Sorry honey.

The baron was asking me ...

If you would like me to drive you to the sanatorium.

Does "Darurn" mean "by car"?

Your German is improving by the minute. No.

Nah , nah , "darum" means "that's why."

I prefer to walk.

Under the rain?

That rain?

Threatens rain.

You are very kind, but we don't want to inconvenience you.

It is no hassle.

Anyway, I have to go to Badén, I can take you with me

on the way.

¿Ned?

The lungs are still heavily loaded.

But the inhalation chamber

it will help clear your bronchial tubes.

Sorry.

Good morning, nurse.

Is the inhalation room free ?

Well.

All right, let's go right away.

Yes.

We can start right now.

You will wait for me?

Of course I'll wait for you.

It will take a while.

Do not worry. I'll be upstairs on the terrace.

And don't forget that we'll go skating later.

- You promise? - Promised.

Well, when I tell you , you start to breathe deeply.

You can start.

Remember: deeply.

More deeply.

Life passes like a dream.

- I thought you were spending the day in Badén. - I've changed my mind,

same as time.

- I've come to apologize. - There is no need.

Well, to apologize to Ned, if not to you. Last night you were ...

Please, I'd rather not talk about it.

Very well.

I see very clearly that my attention to you

they have made Edmund unhappy.

And I would never forgive you for holding me responsible

So once again I'm sorry

Dear Alexander ...

If only you were the cause, everything would be very simple.

Edmund will grow apart from me, not because of you or me,

not even because he wants it,

but because it should be so.

I understand.

I have something for you.

Downstairs in my car.

Bye, Edmund, see you tomorrow.

Goodbye.

Thank you, Alexander, you are very kind.

You are a liar, baron.

You are...

You are a liar.

You are...

You are a liar!

Have you seen my son?

Yes, it's in the living room.

Edmund! Where the hell have you been?

The question is: where have you been?

We have been looking for you.

That's a lie!

Isn't that true, Baron?

Well, it's not a lie, Ned.

My name is Edmund.

Well, Edmund, we were in the sanitarium waiting for you ...

- You are a liar, Baron! - Edmund!

You are a liar!

I've seen you kissing my mother.

Edmund, go up to your room immediately.

You heard me?

Right now.

Who is this kid?

I don't recognize him.

You have nothing to say?

What I have said is true.

The baron is a liar.

He said he was going to go to Badén.

But it was not.

He waited for me to leave and came back to be with you.

That's not true, Ned, although it may have seemed so to you.

If you apologize for your unforgivable behavior,

I will explain what happened.

- I'm sorry. - No, I'm serious.

I said I'm sorry, right?

Why did you let me kiss you?

Since you want to know,

I kissed him.

An innocent kiss to thank you

tickets to attend Verdi's "Requiem" tomorrow .

And you have publicly accused him of being a liar.

Now I want you to come down and apologize to Alexander.

- But he's a liar. - Ned.

- He's been lying to me the whole time. - But how can you say that?

Alexander is your friend.

Hasn't he always been kind to you?

- Just because I wanted to meet you. - Do not say foolishness.

Now that he's done it, he doesn't need me anymore.

And why did you give us the tickets?

Just for the two of us, why?

I do not know.

It's probably a ruse.

An artima ... Ned ...

I don't know what he really wants , but he wants something from you.

And he will lie, cheat and use tricks until he succeeds .

But what is going on in that crazy little head of yours?

And you should have seen that he intends something bad.

It has made you change completely.

He has turned you against me, to have you alone for him.

I do not intend to continue listening

your heated childish imagination.

Or come down and ask for forgiveness

Alexander, or you will spend New Year's Eve locked up here.

You always told me to apologize

only when you feel it.

And I don't feel it.

So I can't ask for them, can I?

Very well.

They'll upload your dinner here.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

I wish you a happy evening.

Thank you.

- Good night, doctor. - Good evening, Frau Tuchman.

Something happens?

No.

Unlike.

I'm fine.

And you?

Ned remains unrepentant.

Without regret?

With your permission.

Take advantage.

Oh, no ... Alexander, enough, please.

This is a very special wine.

The most exquisite of all.

Yquem Castle, 1881.

A very good harvest.

It was the year you were born, right?

A very good year also for the Sauterne.

A good Cháteau d'Yquem needs at least 30 years

for its complete maturation,

but it should not be left too long.

- Right, Karí? - Of course, Mr. Baron.

I remember that my father kept for many years

a Château d'Yquern from 1837

believing it would improve.

And when he finally opened the bottle

to celebrate the invasion of France,

in 1914,

it was vinegar.

I consider it most appropriate.

Why?

- The wine was French, wasn't it? -Yes.

But it was a real shame

having wasted their golden moment

confined in a glass jail.

Let's hope the tragedy does not repeat itself.

So...

ahead.

Drop it!

¡Ned!

Bravo, Edmund.

At least you have proved that you are a man.

Bravo.

¡Ned!

What are you doing?

You are obviously saving your mother's honor.

I congratulate you.

Alexander, let me look at your hand.

Do not worry.

I already told you, I don't feel anything.

No pain ...

No love.

Absolutely nothing.

But you said you loved me.

I see that Edmund knows me better

than you.

The journey is over.

It's over.

The comedy is finite.

I take my bow and leave.

Do you see it, mom?

I was right.

I knew I wanted to hurt you.

I tried to tell you, but you didn't listen to me.

Hurt me? What are you talking about?

But it is what he intended.

Please go. Get out.

But I saw him, I was watching ...

Leave me alone!

¿Ned?

¡Ned!

"Precious child,

do you want to come with me?

My daughters will take care of you.

And every night

they will dance around you.

They will rock you

and they will dance ...

and they will sing until you fall asleep. "

Sorry honey.

¡Ned!

¡Ned!

- Have you seen my son? - Sorry, I haven't seen him.

- Have you seen Mr. Tuchman? - I'm sorry to say no.

Is it the train to Vienna?

Indeed, he is going to Vienna.

A ticket, please.

Two crowns and thirty.

Hears! I have to give you the change!

Ned! Can you hear me?

¡Ned!

Mrs. Tuchman, we have found your son.

Where is?

They phoned from the station.

- What station? - Here in Gutenstein.

Your son has caught the 23.45 train for Vienna.

You will get there at 1.05.

- For Vienna? - Vienna.

OMG.

When does the next train leave?

- There are none until tomorrow. - No.

I must go to Vienna right now, immediately.

"Trilai Trilai Jo."

The first stanza goes like this: "Trilai Trilai Trilai Jo".

The first stanza goes like this: "Trilai Trilai Trilai Jo".

The first stanza goes like this: "Trilai Trilai Trilai Jo".

The first stanza goes like this: "Trilai Trilai Trilai Jo".

Alexander, this is Sonya.

Please, I need your help.

I have to go to Vienna

- Edmund has escaped ... - Mrs. Tuchman!

Everything is fixed.

There is a special train, because it is New Year's Eve.

He's leaving Gutenstein in an hour.

The first stanza goes like this: "Trilai Trilai Trilai Jo".

The first stanza goes like this: "Trilai Trilai Trilai Jo".

The first stanza goes like this: "Trilai Trilai Trilai Jo".

The first stanza goes like this: "Trilai Trilai Trilai Jo".

The first stanza goes like this: "Trilai Trilai ..."

Goodbye, Mrs. Tuchman.

We will send your luggage to you on the first train in the morning.

Thank you.

To the station, please.

Don't make that silly face.

Lárgate.

Twelve-year-old, brown-eyed, braune Augen,

dark hair.

You have arrived on the 1.05 train from Gutenstein.

Mr. Edmund ...

Is my father here?

It has arrived.

Edmund. I was going to send the police looking for you.

What is happening?

Let's talk.

I have escaped.

I have already learned about that from your mother's telegram.

Mary!

Make soup and a hot bath for the boy, please. Let's go!

I hope now you tell me exactly why you ran away.

Well, what do you have to say in your defense?

Where is mom

It says here that it will come very soon.

"It was just a stupid misunderstanding between us."

Tell me, what happened?

Come on, I'm not going to punish you.

Children don't run away for no reason.

Go ahead, let's hear why.

What was that stupid misunderstanding?

Has returned. It's okay.

He has gone to bed.

He has already told me his side of the story.

Maybe you don't mind telling me yours now.

Good is...

as I already told you in my telegram,

it was simply

a stupid misunderstanding.

I want the truth, Sonya.

What exactly happened?

Well, I think he ...

It was just like I told you, dad.

Carried me fatal.

I wanted to be up to enter the New Years

- and mom wouldn't let me. - Why?

Last year we let him stay up.

That is what I said.

But I'm afraid I was very rude when I said it.

So rude that I felt embarrassed.

I was so ashamed that I ran away.

And I'm sorry, Mom.

It will not happen again.

I'm sorry too, darling.

Great.

Then everything cleared up.

If you are truly sorry, business is over.

And no more talk about it.

In agreement?

Thank you.

And as for you, little man, it's about time you were in bed.

Little man.

Yes.

I would say that you can already apply that qualifier.

Good night father.

Good night mom.

I've missed you, my dear.

I am so glad you are back.

In his arms,

the boy

was dead.
