Where are we?

Almost there.

I'll get the keys.

Watch the stuff till I get back.

YOUR NEW BUILDING MANAGER

I thought you might be hungry.

Are you two moving in?

Yes.

My dad's the new building manager.

What about your mother?

What about her? - I saw you and your dad,

but everyone has...

a mother, too.

Right?

What's wrong?

Did your mommy warn you not to talk to strangers?

No.

She taught me to show kindness and respect to those in need.

I see.

Forgive the old tomcat.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Yes?

I'm the new building manager.

Do you know a Ms Loeber?

She has keys for me.

The heating is broken.

Did you tell the property management?

Nobody answers the phone.

Which floor do you live on?

On the seventh.

Try that mailbox.

But I don't have a key.

Thanks.

Here, this is for you.

What is it?

A welcome gift.

On the house.

What is it for?

You'll find out in time.

Don't tell Daddy.

Juri!

Get your butt over here.

Juri.

Yes.

I have to go.

What did he want?

Nothing.

This way.

I think it's back there.

That's you. I'll sleep here.

What is it?

Tastes funny.

Must be the main water line.

Morning.

Morning.

I have to fix the heating. Cornflakes are over there.

I'll need your help.

Okay.

You actually came.

I'm sorry. It's usually not so messy.

No problem.

It's okay. It's okay.

How long has the heating been broken? - For days.

That's odd.

Sorry, this is going to be loud.

What is that? - No idea.

Something must have collected in the pipes.

It's okay.

Everything's okay. Mommy's here.

Everything's okay.

Are you hungry?

What? What do you want?

May I?

It's been a while.

Nothing I do is right. He won't even take my breast!

But you go to work.

You take care of him.

You make sure he's doing well.

Well then...

Baby, did you notice it's ice cold in here?

Who's this?

The building manager.

I'm here to fix the heating.

Hey, come here.

You little crybaby, Daddy's here.

How bad is it?

Your heating isn't the problem. It'll be running by tonight.

I'll take care of it.

I have to go too.

We'll be out of here soon.

Hang in there, baby.

CENTRAL HEATING

Hello?

Are you the son of the new building manager?

Yes.

What's your name?

Juri.

What can you do for me, Juri?

No idea. - Wrong.

Think about it.

Take your father, for instance.

He comes and goes as he pleases.

How does he do that?

He has keys. - That's right.

What if he lost them?

If he found them the next day, it wouldn't be so bad.

He wouldn't even notice they were gone.

That's how I see it too.

There should be more than just one set of keys for the house, right?

All right, little one?

Come here.

You must be tired.

My sweetie, you hungry?

Shit, shit, shit!

Scherbe! How you doing? - Hey, Paco.

Is this the little guy? - Listen...

I'm broke, can you lend me some cash? - I'm sorry.

I can pay you back tomorrow. - I can't, Gitti would kill me!

I'll take the jacket for a 20.

Who asked you? - Knock it off, Lenin.

Hey, we're having a little bash. Come over later and bring the kid.

Yeah, I'll think about it.

Fuck!

Seriously?

What?

We live in the same house, and now you steal from us?

I just checked the ingredients. - Sure.

Well, it's your prices that are robbery!

Welcome to the police state! Fuck!

Hello?

Who's there?

Look who decided to show up after all.

Come in. Come in.

Look who's here! Have a seat.

Get over here, boy.

Sit down.

Let's have a look at the little guy.

Come here.

Want to hold him too?

There you go. Don't worry now.

What's the little guy's name?

The little one. What's his name?

Well...

It's the craziest thing...

He doesn't have a name yet.

We had nine months to think about it, but...

now that he's here, I feel like...

I feel like I don't know him at all yet.

Hey, sweetie.

Do you know me?

Listen up, everybody.

You're looking at one of the best young men who ever came out of this house.

Our man, Scherbe...

brought a new member into our community. - That's right! Bravo!

Welcome, little guy.

That's a good idea.

Make sure he's loved. The rest will follow.

Thank you.

That's right!

Thank you, everybody.

Just chuck it in there.

Who lives here?

Comrade, you okay? - Who lives here?

I do.

Did you build this?

Together with others, yes. - This oven is a fire hazard!

Should we freeze? - There'll be no fires!

In this house!

Okay, okay.

Everybody out.

Excuse me? - Get out.

Now. Everyone.

Fascist!

Don't sweat it. I'll be back later.

Did you put the faucet back together?

Yes.

It's still a bit loose. Tighten it again.

You are my son after all. Now you just need a haircut.

How did you clean it?

Vinegar.

Mom wiped the leaves of the rubber tree with it.

Remember?

I didn't even have to scrub. It just dissolved like...

What about dinner? - Put it in the fridge.

VINEGAR, VINEGAR, VINEGAR...

That's it, little guy.

Everything changes today. We've lived in filth long enough!

Don't you think?

Tomorrow we pack our things and get out of here.

We'll start over somewhere else.

We'll find you a good name,

get you baptized...

Then we'll be a real family, just like on TV.

It'll be great.

That's strange.

Just one last time, okay?

VINEGAR

Hey, what the hell?

You got the money!

I want my stuff!

Come on!

HOUSE RECREATION ROOM

Come on.

Do you like ice cream?

Yes.

What's your name?

Dennis.

You followed me.

Yeah.

I hide here sometimes.

Till my mom comes back.

Where is your mother?

She comes home late.

Hear that?

You're never alone here.

Scherbe, I'm running late. I'm on my way.

We have an appointment to see the new apartment tomorrow.

It even has heating that works.

Scherbe?

I think it could really work this time.

Baby?

It's okay, my darling.

Just go back to sleep now.

Mommy's a little late.

Please don't.

No!

No!

Stop it!

Stop it!

No!

Oh no!

Just leave us alone!

Where...?

No!

No!

Juri.

Juri!

Anja!

Anja!

Dad.

Juri!

Juri, she's...

Everything will be okay, Dad.

Everything will be okay.

Baby?
