Original subtitles

Oh my God! Why doesn't somebody do something?

What can we do? I've called the fire service.

Come on, faster!

But don't rush. Don't put it out too quickly.

- What happened? - And, above all, how?

Oh wow.

The first ones are coming over.

My goodness. That's crazy.

Unbelievable. You guys are heroes!

- How did you get here so quickly? - Unbelievable!

- Imagine what might have happened. - So brave. Incredible.

We saw it and just reacted.

We saw it from the clubhouse and just grabbed these.

We just went for it.

The exit?

Straight ahead that way.

Thank you.

Excuse me, how do we get to the exit?

Straight ahead that way.

Yes, it was certainly powerful.

Right?

So experimental.

Perhaps a little too experimental for me.

At the beginning, it's so conventional.

Then it suddenly takes a turn.

For me, it reveals a host of possibilities.

The electronic expansion

and the repetitions

help to form this highly poetic cycle.

- How true. - It reminds me a little of

Helmut Lachenmann's “Musique Concrète Instrumentale”.

That piece is also often closer to a soundscape than symphonic tradition.

Yes, I completely agree.

- Interesting! - Fascinating analysis.

Hey!

Oh, hello!

Well?

- I liked it a lot. - Yes, so did we.

Did you like it too?

Ah, may I introduce Ina Solberg, from Norway.

Great.

Yes, I know that piece.

Look, it's Auri. She's all alone again.

- It really is a little shameful. - So embarrassing.

- Thank you. - Of course.

Here you go.

If everything has been to your satisfaction

we would welcome a review on our website.

Yes, of course.

Maybe a glass of wine?

Thank you, but that's not possible.

This is for you.

Thank you. For us, good service is its own reward.

We aim to help people. If you are looking for

someone to listen or if you need company...

Here you go.

Can I offer you something to drink?

- A coffee? Or a ginger-cucumber shot? - No, thank you.

...MyCompanion provides friends and partners for every occasion.

MyCompanion is not your regular friend-for-hire agency.

We offer thirty extremely well-trained employees...

Matthias, there's a woman here without an appointment. Can I send her in?

...to ensure that your companion is absolutely perfect.

Visit our website to see the glowing reviews--

How can we help you?

How should I put it?

Johann.

My husband.

He is very assertive.

I mean...

He's also very kind.

But he can be very emotional.

And when we argue... I don't know why,

but I never say anything.

Because...

I just kind of shut down.

Afterwards, when I'm lying in bed or I leave the house,

that's when things come to mind.

So...

- I want to learn how to argue. - Okay.

Coachings...

That's not really what we do here, if that's what you're looking for.

Perhaps it is more about having a sparring partner.

To rehearse with? Or to practice on?

Yes, exactly. I need someone to help me practice arguing.

I understand. We can do that.

And we would do it here?

No. Ideally, somewhere you feel comfortable.

Are there perhaps certain times at which your husband isn't at home?

No, that's too risky!

Johann can't find out about this.

But I have a studio apartment in the city that is empty at the moment.

We could maybe do it there.

Sounds great.

Red or white?

Whatever you like.

Tell me!

I'll have what you're having.

I saw this at a job last week.

I thought it was very funny. And perfect for us.

I also bought a small toucan for the office.

Great.

Thank you.

And where do we put it?

Upstairs, next to the entrance?

To sit on when we put on our shoes?

It's art, not for sitting on.

It'll be funny, being greeted by a polar bear.

Yeah. It's cute, I guess.

Should I take it back?

Why? Don't you like it?

It's no problem. I can still get a refund.

That's not what I'm saying.

But do you like it?

It's by a well-known designer.

It will make quite an impression when we have guests.

This is so powerful.

So intense and soulful.

How was the performance yesterday?

Great.

A wonderful location.

Very well attended.

And the music?

It reminds me a little of Helmut Lachenmann's

“Musique Concrète Instrumentale”.

That piece is also often closer to a soundscape than symphonic tradition.

How beautiful.

It's refreshingly cool under this roof.

I had forgotten how magnificent this hall is.

These murals...

Very beautiful.

Thank goodness I reserved so early.

Yes, the next free weekend would be in January.

January? Unbelievable, such luck.

And that you can be here.

Our son is constantly abroad on business,

but he doesn't want to miss my 60th birthday party.

Well, good!

Let's discuss seating arrangements.

And after that you can tell me your news over a coffee!

There is a lot to tell.

Last time was okay.

But you could have laid it on thicker.

This time I want you to deliver a speech in my honour.

Talk about what a great father I am, what I passed on to you and so on.

It has to encourage the club members to elect me president.

For years, I have thrown my money into their ridiculous charity projects.

What suit are you going to wear? I want to see a picture in advance.

Of course.

This place is such a maze.

Hello! May I interest you in our spa offer of the week?

No thanks.

Chameleon walk?

It looks more like a stag beetle.

Fantastic!

It's a little harder after dinner. But it's funny, isn't it?

Yeah.

My patients love it.

It does wonders for balance and dexterity.

And it's exhausting.

Not your cup of tea, Matthias?

The terrace is freshly cleaned, I promise.

Well, I'll fetch the dessert.

- Can I help? - No need, thanks.

I've been looking forward to this all day.

Oh no.

Great.

Again. They are so annoying at the moment.

Even at night. We never get any peace.

Yesterday, I even fell asleep in the tram.

But I was woken up quickly.

There were two guys arguing and screaming.

One of them was a lot younger,

and the older one grabbed him by the throat and lifted him up.

The other guy punched him in the face, right in front of me.

Crazy. And what did you do?

Well, what could I do?

It happened so fast and they left soon after.

Well, I'm happy you didn't do anything.

Even though you're such a Hulk.

Here we go.

I'm sure it's hard to know how to react.

You probably freeze up.

And you can never be sure they don't have a knife or something.

Maybe they were on drugs.

Well, it wasn't that bad.

I totally understand you.

I don't know what I would have done.

But it's probably better not to look away.

Maybe it helps if you say something

or get somebody to help.

Yes. You're right.

I think I would have said something too.

I might not intervene

but I'd say something.

Right, time for dessert.

It looks delicious!

- We told you to go to bed! - I don't want to!

Off you go. Back to bed.

But you're also still up!

So, those are my duties as a public notary.

I hope that I was able to interest you in my profession.

Great. Thank you.

A big round of applause for David and his dad!

Who wants to go next?

Sebastian? Do you want to come to the front with your father?

- Wow! - This is so cool.

- Amazing. - He's so lucky!

Hello. I am Matthias, Sebastian's dad.

Who has flown on an airplane before?

Sophia?

Hi. There you are.

I was just outside for a moment.

Are you coming?

So. Do we have a dog now?

Do we have a dog now?

Do you like him?

Doesn't he take up a bit too much space?

He'll definitely make an impression when we have guests.

Do you like the flowers?

The flowers are nice, as usual.

Thank you.

Matthias, what is this?

Because I think the dog is too big?

It's not about the dog!

You...

You just don't seem real anymore!

I can't feel the real you.

What do you mean, "not real"?

I'm right here.

Matthias, please!

The dog is eating off the fucking couch!

Sophia...

I just want to do everything right for you.

It's not like everything is bad.

Is it?

Don't we have everything we need?

I really am sorry.

Good morning. It is 8 o'clock, the temperature is-

Turn off!

You called us?

You called a plumber?

No.

Yes, you did.

No, I didn't.

It says here that you called a plumber.

And you're the plumber?

Yes!

Is the problem that I'm a woman?

What? No!

No! I just didn't call a plumber.

Maybe someone else?

Your wife? Girlfriend?

No.

I mean, I don't think...

No.

That's just wonderful.

So you don't need anything?

No leaky faucet or anything?

No, thank you. Everything's fine.

Good. Then I'll leave.

Yes.

Goodbye.

And even if I do say something, nothing ever changes.

I'm sorry but...

I don't know if you don't care

or if you just don't listen.

That's not true!

Johann, I can't stand it anymore.

You need to listen to me for once!

Vera, please!

Let me finish!

You get worked up over every little thing.

There's always so much drama.

But I also have to be able to tell you when something is bothering me!

You don't even notice when I'm unhappy.

I get the feeling

you don't understand what the problem is.

You live in your own world and don't even react to me.

I talk and talk and you have no idea what the problem is--

No!

Maybe... That might be a little too much.

Johann can be very short-tempered, but...

Of course. I'm sorry!

Should we take a short break?

Yes please.

Thank you.

But overall that was already very good!

It's good to speak your mind.

Did you notice anything

that I could improve on?

You look down at the floor a lot when you speak to him.

It would be more convincing if you maintain eye contact.

And I have the feeling

you could express yourself more clearly.

More directly.

Otherwise he won't know what to change.

The same things come up

and you go around in circles.

Throughout the entire relationship, and eventually you split up.

But I don't want to split up!

No. No, of course not. I...

I just think it's important that the problem is made clear.

Otherwise nothing ever changes.

Can I do anything better?

Yes, Johann would interrupt me even more.

More "Vera, please".

Like that...

Of course! With pleasure.

Bye.

By the way, I uploaded the information on that 60th birthday party.

We have the guest list now too. I hope that works for you.

Thank you. Good night.

Everything OK?

Yes, yes! Everything's fine.

Everything's great.

Cool!

Nora?

Have you eaten?

Or we could go for a beer.

I already have plans, sorry.

Is Sophia out of town?

Yes, she's out of town.

Great! Some alone-time.

Well then, have a good evening. And I'll take a rain-check on the beer.

Have a good evening. Thank you!

The neighbour saw a palm tree being delivered.

It was therefore clear that the influencer hadn't really been on vacation.

The pictures were all taken in her garden, as she later admitted.

She has now lost thousands of followers,

and her family has distanced itself from her.

Well, it's small.

It says right here that you said he shouldn't take up too much space.

The dog's name is...

Matthias.

My name is Matthias.

Really? The dog's name is also Matthias.

Oh, no, sorry. Your name is Matthias.

The dog's name is Aaron.

Aaron?

Right. Aaron.

Will he bark every time I say his name?

I don't know that, sir. I just take care of deliveries.

Just sign here, please!

If you are satisfied, we would appreciate a good review online.

May I take your plates?

I'm not sure. My...

She's in the bathroom.

But could you light the candle?

Of course.

You can take this, thank you.

Sure.

Thank you.

Just so I don't forget, can you give me the stuff now?

Sophia...

Can't we try again?

I could try to be more...

So, a little more romance.

Thank you.

Look...

I've hoped that something will change for a long time now.

I finally made this decision for myself.

Excuse me! The black estate car that is parked in the disabled parking spot

needs to be moved right away!

I just don't understand how this could happen so suddenly.

It wasn't sudden.

OK. But why now?

Excuse me! Who mistakenly parked in the disabled spot?

A guest is unable to park their car.

- A black estate car. - A black estate car!

What I wanted to say is that I want...

Sorry. Might that be you?

What?

Did you maybe park there?

Because he said it's a black estate car.

Over here!

No, I'm sure I didn't.

Excuse me, do you drive a black estate car?

How inconsiderate!

Yes, so inconsiderate!

He just said it wasn't him.

Maybe by accident, because your thoughts were elsewhere?

Excuse me? That's none of your concern.

Keep eating and mind your own business.

- Are you sure? It can happen. - No need to be rude!

I mean, I think...

We could go and see if it's your car?

That's a good idea.

I think so too.

Matthias, if you are sure, you don't need to go.

Of course he does.

Everything's been taken care of! The owner of the car has returned.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

Bon appétit!

Oh, I see...

Well, it could have been him.

My apologies.

Sorry. I didn't think I would cause all this.

Please excuse the inconvenience.

Can I offer you a dessert, compliments of the house?

Maybe we should get the bill?

The bill, please.

Of course. With pleasure.

I know it's bad timing, but I think it would be good

if we don't see each other for a while.

I'll pick up up the rest of my things tonight

and leave my key at the house.

I'm sorry. Together or separate?

I'm so sorry.

Oh. Excuse me!

I just wanted to...

Matthias, a man keeps calling and asking for you.

He didn't want to give me his name...

I'll come back later.

It's incredibly difficult, I know.

Feel free to cry.

Maybe it'll sort itself out.

Sometimes people just need a little space.

She said that I'm not real anymore.

I am real though, right?

David?

Well, yes. I mean, what does "real" mean?

I mean, of course you're real.

Physically.

Well, there are certainly people who are more...

You're not someone who is particularly emotional,

or quick to anger.

Which is absolutely great, of course!

Maybe it's more about you getting to know yourself better.

Maybe you'll find some new hobby.

Cooking classes.

Karla was at an urban retreat thing once.

They have great courses.

Yoga and stuff like that.

Maybe that would be good for you.

Change station.

Change station!

Accept call.

Accept call!

Hello?

Is this Matthias?

Yes. Who is this?

Hello? Who am I talking to?

Why did you meet my wife?

Hello. I can't really hear you.

My wife, Vera.

Hello? I can't hear you, I'm in a tunnel. Maybe you could call back...

Block number.

- Block number! - Unable to block "Anonymous".

What brings you here?

A friend recommended it.

What do you seek?

I just thought I'd come here and check it out.

I see.

Yoga and Qigong take place daily.

Group activities and courses vary weekly.

You can find the courses online or on the board by the entrance.

The course rooms are upstairs

and down here we have the tea bar and our quiet area.

Who are you?

Matthias.

No...

Who are you?

You know what?

I'll show you our contemplation lawn.

You can feel the grass while you search for answers.

Good day! I'm Matthias from "MyCompanion".

You asked for a house call?

Just go straight in.

Down the back and left.

Something to drink?

No thank you, that's very kind.

In this heat you need to drink a lot.

Maybe a glass of water.

I prepared elderberry juice. Have a seat.

Thank you.

You have to look into this one.

That's the good eye.

How can we help you?

Should I tell you a little about our agency--

No thanks.

I can read all that online.

What if I want to split up with my wife?

Could you also help with that?

We can certainly provide assistance in such cases...

We'll help wherever we can.

But we would require more information.

Did you do that with my wife as well?

- Excuse me? - My wife, Vera.

Vera rented you. Then she left me. Why?

Tell me what happened.

I don't know that woman.

Stop it! Your profile was in her browser history and I saw the emails.

I was using computers while you were still shitting your diapers.

Hello?

I can't give you any information about an assignment--

That's no assignment, that's my wife!

Tell me, goddammit!

I'm sorry.

If I can't help with anything else...

Unfortunately I need to-- I have meetings.

You're not going anywhere!

Goddammit! What a waste of juice.

Hey! Stay here!

Stay here, you coward!

Scallops with a side of arugula.

Thank you!

That looks very good!

And the jus.

To me, variety is the most important thing when it comes to work.

Just sitting in an office all day isn't for me.

I think we can offer sufficient variety.

- That's enough, thank you. - Enjoy.

I really like doing this in regular life as well.

Slipping into other roles.

If you want, I can improvise something quickly,

so you can see me in action.

I could go over to that guy

and introduce myself as an old classmate.

No thanks. Better not.

We don't select people based on their acting skills.

It's more about the human aspect.

Yes, of course.

Bon appétit.

Bon appétit.

Thank you, by the way.

I appreciate us doing this over dinner.

Job interviews are always so... dry.

Well, in our company, employees have assignments in the real world.

Of course.

It's also what makes it so difficult.

The clients and us are the only ones who know.

Not like actors, who can take a break every few minutes.

We act in the real world.

We really need to inhabit our roles.

One might think it's easy,

but it's an incredible challenge. Psychologically.

You need to maintain a clear line between

the characters and yourself.

You also have to be able to leave those roles again.

You can't let them reach you emotionally. You--

Everything alright?

This isn't an act, is it?

Shit.

Thank you!

Thank you.

- Incredible. Incredible! - Thank you!

Oh my!

I owe you. You saved my life.

- No, please... - No, honestly,

I mean it! I owe you.

At first, I thought you were acting.

- What? - Yeah.

Never!

Unbelievable. What a night.

- What? - What a night!

Incredible! Your reaction was amazing!

"Not real"? Are you kidding me?

Hey! Can I introduce you to my friend?

- Sorry? - Can I introduce you to my friend?

I don't understand you.

Can I... This is Matthias!

Matthias, hi!

- And what's your name? - Theresa.

Nice to meet you.

That was pretty lame, wasn't it?

Sorry?

The introduction was lame, wasn't it?

My friend is pretty drunk.

You're drunk?

No, my friend is. Because of the lame introduction.

Never mind.

Do you come here often? To this club?

My boyfriend is the DJ.

- Sorry? - My boyfriend is the DJ.

Cool!

Did you call for a plumber this time?

Yes, sure.

But not until 10:00.

It's 9:30. I finished the last job early.

Right.

Come inside.

You didn't happen to run into someone just now?

Could you please put some clothes on?

Of course! I'm really sorry.

I think the boiler is making odd noises.

Through the kitchen, left and then left again.

I'll be with you in a second.

- Hello. - Hello.

I think your father was just looking for you.

I think your father was just here.

That would be strange. As he's dead.

Oh, that...

I'm sorry, I just thought...

An older man was standing in front of your house for a while.

White hair?

Yeah.

A lazy eye?

I didn't notice.

- Thank you! - My pleasure.

Vera?

- Oh, hello. - Hi.

What are you doing here?

I was just shopping in the area. And you?

Oh right, you have that studio apartment here.

- How are you doing? - Good, thanks!

Very good in fact.

I left Johann.

Oh, really?

Yes. And it's all thanks to you.

Me?

You were right. You have to let go if it's not working anymore.

Right... But I was talking about baby steps.

Honestly, you really helped me.

Great.

One often has doubts and only later realises how much one misses a person...

Thanks to the agency, I know that more and more people are alone.

Perhaps, in times like these--

I'm sure it's the right decision.

Johann is so very complicated.

It's very nice of you to worry about me.

I gave you a very good review online. Have you seen it?

...206 square meters from around the turn of the century

complimented by two balconies facing the park

and one facing the quiet courtyard.

As mentioned in the listing,

the owner will only rent the apartment to a couple.

Naturally, diversity is an advantage.

Excuse me. Excuse me, thanks.

- Please also see our brochures. - Excuse me, thank you.

If you have questions, please ask.

This is wonderful.

The rooms are so light.

That's such a rare thing in the inner city.

Look at the large windows.

And the view!

Sorry.

I thought you were someone else.

Let's go, Erwin.

A beautiful room, isn't it?

Yes.

Very beautiful, actually.

Excuse me.

Qigong starts in 20 minutes.

Thank you. But I actually have a question.

I'm looking for a course participant. Ina Solberg.

Ina Solberg.

You probably aren't allowed to give out any information.

But Ina and I had a deep spiritual connection.

I would really like to help, but I don't recognise the name.

Brunette, a little smaller than me. From Norway.

Only speaks English.

There are many of them.

Doesn't ring a bell.

I'm sorry.

It's meticulously prepared.

Background checks on all club members and hotel staff.

The client rented the whole hotel anyway.

Pictures, location info and detailed bios are in the portfolio.

Matthias, you have to tell me who will accompany you.

Time's running out.

You haven't picked anyone yet?

With an overnight assignment, you need someone who's free for two days.

Don't worry. I just need to lock in the date. It's all in hand.

I'm so sorry!

Maybe you can blow-dry it. Does anyone have a hair dryer?

- Why would someone have a hair dryer? - I'm really sorry.

So silly! I'm so sorry!

It's fine. Thanks.

It's nothing, really.

You wanted to speak to me?

Yes. Please come on in.

Ah, then you saw it too?

The complaint we just got?

The client you were at the open house with.

He didn't get the apartment and he left a really bad review.

- That's not why you wanted-- - When did it go online?

Just now.

What if we deleted it?

We send the client an apology and offer a 25% discount on a future assignment.

You know, just between us.

Fine, I guess. If you want--

Yes.

Right. And what did you need?

Could you find me an address?

Ina Solberg. For which assignment?

It's a personal thing.

Would you be so kind?

Take me to the 60th birthday party.

But you're not trained--

I did the research. I know everything.

It can't be that difficult if you're at my side.

I'll delete the review and take care of this for you.

Just between us.

Tell me what you did with Vera!

What are you doing here?

You can't just--

Sure I can! Answer me!

Nobody will tell me what's going on!

Just a form of communication training. Nothing more.

What did you train?

The easiest way to break up?

No! Please, just talk to her yourself. None of this is my business.

Right. It's none of your damn business! But you interfered all the same!

Please, leave me alone.

It's your fault! If it wasn't for you, we'd still be together!

Are you crazy?

The way you're acting, are you really surprised that she left?

Hey! We're talking!

Come out here!

Get out, you damn coward!

Hey!

Stop it!

Hey, stop!

You're insane!

Get out, now!

Sorry.

This function is deactivated. Please contact your service partner.

Fuck!

Sorry! Sorry.

Play a cheerful song!

I don't know what you mean by "Play a careful song".

Play a cheerful song.

I could not understand you.

Play a happy song!

I am searching for the right song for you.

Aaron?

- Hello. - Hello.

I came as fast as possible. What's going on?

David, I know it may sound absurd, but...

I think someone murdered my dog.

You have a dog?

A rental dog.

I think someone drowned him.

He was dead in the pool.

Poor thing!

But why would someone--

Do you remember Vera?

- The client? - Yes.

After the assignment, she broke up with her husband.

Since then, he blames me.

I didn't want to say anything, but I'm really getting scared.

You really think he would...

No idea, but he won't leave me alone.

He showed up today in the office parking garage.

How did he get in there?

I don't know.

It's not just the garage. How did he get into my garden? Or my house?

You don't know if he was in the house.

Yesterday, he was in front of it.

This could all be a silly coincidence.

Just because the dog...

Can all dogs actually swim?

He's so small.

Maybe he just fell in.

How did a duck get in there?

Through the sunroof.

A duck.

Matthias. The keys please?

So that means it's possible a dog could drown?

Without any external influence?

Yes, that's theoretically possible.

Unfortunately, there's a problem with my dog...

He drowned.

Right. One moment please.

So...

It says here that you are fully insured.

An employee will pick up the animal tomorrow.

Would you like the same breed and the same colour again?

...leave your message after the tone.

Hi Sophia...

I know we agreed we wouldn't see each other for a while but...

it would be great if we could meet.

We could go for a walk in the city centre.

I've been thinking a lot and I've made progress.

And it might sound strange, but I'm really grateful.

I couldn't see my own behaviour.

Okay.

That's good. I'm happy for you.

I guess...

I want to keep working on myself.

- It'd be nice to see you now and then. - Is that necessary?

Only if you want to.

What's your problem?

- I don't want to lose you completely. - Hey, look!

Go on, pick up the can yourself!

Leave us alone! What do you want?

Hey!

Stop it!

Please just leave us alone!

Stop!

Stop it! What's your problem?

Leave it. Let's go!

Shit. Sorry.

Fuck.

That's what you get, asshole!

- Let's get out of here. - Yes, let's go.

- Everything okay? - Yes. Thank you!

- Are you alright? - Yes. That was close.

And you too?

Yes, everything's fine.

- I'm calling the police. - No, no. It's not worth it.

They're long gone.

Do you want to sit down?

Maybe for a moment.

They were so aggressive. Thanks again.

Of course. I saw it and just went for it!

And we really shouldn't call the police?

It's fine. Nothing happened, thanks to you.

It was totally intuitive. I just reacted.

So brave! Unbelievable.

What makes someone do that?

The nose wasn't planned, was it?

What?

So much effort.

Matthias...

Please, get some help.

Goodbye.

And you better put some ice on that.

I'm looking forward to this!

Everything alright?

Sorry. I get this sometimes.

It'll pass.

- Are you sure? - It's fine. It'll stop soon.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

I'm sorry.

Sorry!

Oh, come on.

Sorry!

Sorry!

Excuse me!

What's wrong? Should I come with you?

Are you alright?

Do you need help?

Everything will be fine.

It'll be OK.

Shh...

Excuse me, you're disturbing us.

- Please leave! I'm watching this. - Let him be.

I'm not doing anything. Come on, please get up!

Let me help you.

It's going to be fine.

Should I ask them to run some more tests?

Maybe you would feel better.

If it happens again, the doctor said, you should just breathe into a bag.

Somehow, it regulates your...

Matthias...

Your 60th birthday party assignment is in about 14 hours.

If I could, I would tell you to take some days off.

But it is a long-term assignment.

David...

I can't do this anymore.

After something like this...

It was a one-time thing.

You are the only one who consistently gets good reviews.

I can't do all this anymore.

Sure you can. If you can't, who can?

We unfortunately have no other choice.

You know how important the assignment is.

The client can't suddenly have a different son.

Afterwards, you'll take some time off.

Morning.

Good morning.

Can I leave you to it?

Yes, sure.

If that's okay with you. Sure.

You know your way around.

Yes.

Okay. Can you grab the bottom?

I just have to quickly take care of something.

We're early anyway.

Matthias, we can't...

We have a tight schedule. What if there's traffic?

Looking for something?

Over here.

Hello?

Yes! Hi.

Who are you?

I wanted to talk to Johann.

Then you'll be ringing a long time...

It's his ticker.

I mean, he had a heart attack.

He's in hospital.

When did it happen?

A few days ago.

Here?

No, not here.

But I don't know where it happened.

What did you need from him?

That's not him.

That is Bed 2. Bed 1 is on the left.

Just wake him up. After a meal he always sleeps like a rock.

More flowers. Great.

I'll bring you a vase.

If there are any left. His wife needs a lot of them.

Who needs that many flowers?

I'm not a bloody florist.

I hope I have enough time left to steam my dress.

May I interest you in our spa offer of the week?

No, thank you.

What is the spa offer of the week?

Our Cleopatra mud bath. You receive a regional, grey mud pack,

rub it on yourself and then settle into the steam bath, where the mud--

Matthias, could you hurry up?

Thank you!

...and that's what life is all about:

Finding what's right for you and pursuing it.

A calling that makes you feel good,

that fulfils you.

And for my father, this fulfilment fortunately lies

in helping other people.

Dad.

You are my role model.

I wish you the very best for your future.

Joy...

and good health.

To you!

Cheers!

Lovely speech.

Thank you, my son.

Really great.

What a charming young man.

Well done, my darling.

Every year we have issues with the mechanics.

Of course, it always happens in summer.

But who wants to drive a convertible on the French Riviera with the roof up?

An aroma of prunes.

...that's right.

This year, Marie booked us something rather mad:

The Lech ski resort, in summer.

Lech is really beautiful.

I've never been there in summer. But in winter, it's magical.

Try this!

It tastes fantastic.

Not now.

Thanks, Mum. You have to try it, Dad.

Madam President. Karin.

Our club president.

Not for long. And you might well succeed me.

- Wonderful speech! - Thank you.

Yes, we are very proud of him!

It's rare to have him here.

He works in Shanghai now.

But he's always here for the important occasions.

May I introduce my partner.

Hello! It's a pleasure--

You have to try the oysters.

They were still in the Atlantic last night.

Yes, the buffet is magnificent.

What a beautiful celebration this is!

I'm so happy to share this day with you.

Very nice.

Then I'm off to the buffet again.

Don't hold back!

See you later.

Enjoy it!

We'll join you, Karin.

It was nice to meet you.

- I'm so sorry! - Watch what you're doing!

No problem.

Stop drawing attention to yourself!

That looks terrible now.

- I'm very sorry. Hang on, I'll help you. - No, thank you!

Go and change. You can't run around like that.

It's just a tiny stain.

- All the same. Just look at it. - Embarrassing...

I really am so sorry.

These things happen.

It really isn't a big deal,

my dear father!

It can't possibly spoil the mood

on such a beautiful, honest day of celebration.

Stop this at once!

Go and change!

Do as my husband says!

Not here! Do it in your room!

I'll come with you.

Stop this, instantly!

Are you crazy?

You will not ruin my husband's chance to be president!

Everything's fine.

A little accident. We'll have it sorted in no time.

I packed another shirt for you.

Right, come with me. Please...

Come on!

Matthias, what's going on? What was that?

If the client wants you to, you change. Does it matter?

There's a small stain. So what?

Okay.

I have another shirt in the car. Can you get it for me?

Yes, sure!

I'll get it and we'll meet in the room.

What's going on?

What on earth?

What's happening?

Look at that!

By the buffet!

It really is such a wonderful opportunity to--

What's this?

For God's sake!

He's completely naked!

Is that better?

What is he doing?

This is so unpleasant.

This is delicious. Could I get another bottle, please?

That is just too much!

Why doesn't somebody do something?

I guess it's performance art!

What?

- Yes, it's a performance! - Oh, wow!

This is exceptional art!

- Oh, that's art! - Okay, I get it now.

Spectacularly absurd. What a powerful statement.

Oh, right. It's all a show...

Wonderful!

I actually thought it was real.

- Extraordinary! - Bravo!

- Bravo! - Bravo!

Bravo!

- Congratulations! - Oh, thank you.

What an incredible performance.

Thank you very much.

Sensational!

What is that disgusting stuff?

- Really fantastic! - Thank you.

- How original! - Just brilliant!

Now what is he doing?

Perhaps an encore.
