You're not real.

Did you miss me?

What happened to you?

I...

What about you?

Remember how I asked about that boy in the house?

Dennis?

Yes.

I think he's still here somewhere.

A ghost?

Wait.

Can I come along?

Do you know how many

clouds fly

high above

the big wide world?

God the Lord

has counted them

so not a single one

goes astray

Pardon me.

Shit!

Scherbe!

Scherbe!

This was where you last saw him?

I didn't see him. I only heard him.

From behind the door.

He was scared.

Of what?

I don't know.

Something happened that night.

Something bad.

Juri, to my office, now.

Get used to it.

Come with me.

Juri, what are you doing?

No cameras.

Your dad missed a spot.

This whole wing isn't on the blueprints.

How comforting.

Are you sure it was here?

There's nothing here.

When did they wallpaper it?

HOUSE RECREATION ROOM

Echoes.

What?

Nobody's been in here for a century.

It was here.

HOUSE COMMUNITY INFO

I was here with him.

With Dennis.

"House community info."

Listen.

If the boy disappeared 30 years ago...

What if he led me here so I'd find him?

Sure.

You like ice cream?

Don't.

It smells like somebody died.

What is that?

Juri!

Juri!

Juri!

Help!

Help!

Loan!

Juri!

Help!

Help!

Help! Loan! Help!

Help!

Help!

Loan, help!

Help!

Help!

Juri!

Shit! Juri!

Fuck! Juri!

You okay?

Yes.

What is that?

Everyone knew him.

OUR DENNIS. THE HOUSE GREETS ITS FIRST BABY

What are you two doing in here?

They said I could go.

Oh yeah?

Your leg okay?

What were you two doing in there?

We were lost.

And that filth?

I just slipped in a puddle.

Nothing happened.

I can't let anything else happen to you.

You'll stay home from school tomorrow.

Why?

I want to show you something.

Jaschek.

You...

You don't exist anymore.

Yes, I do.

I'm waiting.

Again.

You don't want to, or you can't?

Inept.

You must recognize her potential.

Oh?

Yes.

I'm sure there are a few things she'd be useful for.

Don't you think?

Like always.

Like always.

What are you doing?

I'm sorry.

I'm just wasting your time.

It's me who should apologize.

I shouldn't pressure you.

Please sit down.

Before we continue,

we should relax a little.

You're so nice to me, sir.

Please, not so formal.

Is something worrying you?

Love is an art you can study all your life.

Most people...

are satisfied with a dull, surface existence.

But you're different, am I right?

Yes.

You seek true intimacy.

You need someone who appreciates you.

Go on, sit down.

Give it a try.

Smoking is prohibited in the entire building.

It's time some order was returned to this place.

And you...

are going to help me with that.

Where you going?

To set more up.

You stay here and tell me when you see something.

JURI, JURI, JURI... 14:00, 15:00...

Got it.

Yes?

Get lost!

Do you know a Juri?

Yes.

Who's there?

Can we maybe talk somewhere else?

Where did you find this?

In the old house recreation room.

The house recreation room...

My God!

How young we all were!

What does it mean, "The house welcomes its first child"?

I don't know.

I only remember the boy in the hallway.

Dennis.

Yes.

But this...

It's like the puzzles...

When one piece is missing, the whole picture makes no sense.

We have to bring the people back together.

Together, they'll remember.

How will you get them out of their apartments?

No idea.

We'll organize a party. - What kind of party?

To celebrate the house's 40th anniversary?

It works.

Jaschek.

Come to me.

I was looking for you. - What are you doing here?

I lost my key.

Can you help me?

Thanks.

Doesn't your father have a key?

Is everything okay?

What's wrong?

Ready?

Ready.

Attention please, this is house community management.

All original tenants

are asked to meet today

at 6:00 P.M.

in the house recreation room.

I repeat,

this is house community management.

All original tenants are asked

to meet today at 6:00 P.M. in the house recreation room.

It doesn't close without a key. - I thought you lost yours.

Want me to do it? - No, I can do it.

Attention please, this is house community management...

Scherbe?

Are you in there?

Scherbe, can you hear me?

Scherbe.

Who are you?

Come on, stand up.

What are you doing? - Let's get out of here!

What's this?

Where are the keys?

Who are you?

What are you doing here?

Did you drink your tea?

What did you do to him?

No!

What has she done to you?

She helped me when I was in a bad way.

Scherbe, look at me. It's me.

Cleo!

Cleo?

Look at me.

It's me. Can you hear me?

Scherbe!

We had a baby. You lost it down the garbage chute.

No.

No.

No, that can't be...

Ladies and gentlemen,

the wheel!

Oh, how I wish I could turn that wheel

and win these wonderful prizes...

Where are you going?

To meet with friends.

A brand new motorcycle!

When will you be back?

If you're so curious, why not come along?

Your dad will find us soon.

I didn't mean to do it.

Everything was fine until you came along.

Scherbe.

We're going home.

What you said is true.

We had a baby.

I lost it.

Why would I want to remember that?

Scherbe!

Stay here.

Until there's nothing left of you.

So what's this about?

That's the building manager's son.

What are we doing here?

Hello, and thank you for coming.

Many years ago, when you moved in,

a boy lived here.

Why, after so many years, would we remember some boy?

Hear him out, man. - Because it wasn't just any boy.

He was the first child born here.

You're all here in this photo with him.

Unbelievable!

Is that really us?

How could we forget that?

Give me that.

You'll never be happy with her.

Set me free.

Just a minute.

What are you doing here?

Father.

Father!

You pig!

What did you do to my daughter?

If I remember correctly,

that was the only birthday we celebrated with the boy.

The mother left the boy alone all the time!

That's right. - She sang in a bar.

Yeah, and who knows what else.

The boy was completely neglected.

Mama!

He snuck through the halls.

He stole everything.

And one day his mother came home,

and he was gone.

But the boy left something behind.

Dead cats on the kitchen floor.

You could hear her screams through the whole house.

Nobody saw the boy after that.

Why didn't we help him?

We abandoned our first child.

You're all responsible for what happens in this house.

You. Come here.

Come here.

You know this man?

What's your relationship to him?

Is this you?

Is that you?

We found this in his apartment!

A snake lived among us all these years!

A monster who preyed on our most valuable asset,

our children!

The time has come to prove the worth of this community.

Isn't that the job of the police?

Where was the police

when drugs were sold here and people were molested?

If it goes to court, he'd just get a few months...

on parole.

That's the way it is. You can't count on the authorities.

I ask you, what is the appropriate punishment for his crime?

There's one answer to that.

Cut off his balls.

Exactly.

Come on.

Get him up here.

That way he stays alive,

and is no longer a danger to anyone.

If you find the accused guilty,

raise your hand.

Well?

The outcome is clear.

Cut them off!

Cut them off!

Cut them off!

Cut them off!

What's going on here?

He touched my daughter!

What if he'd taken advantage of your son?

This meeting is over.

No.

Yes.

Scherbe.

Scherbe.

Scherbe!
