- Here come Bea and Thomas. - Then the day after tomorrow.

The day after tomorrow is my day again.

Crap.

- That's disgusting! - She didn't get that from me.

Maybe the Lambada Dancer from back then her father.

I may have an eccentric taste

but for that "I don't stink after old hot-water bottles".

- That's from the play. - Is there a theater group this afternoon?

Yes. Mrs. Ochsmann is fit again.

- The premiere will be not postponed? - Nope.

Thanks.

(Romantic music)

We could have a coffee walk instead of scrubbing one away.

And what will become of us?

"We still have Paris".

- Do you take the train every morning? - Find out!

You grin like the holy virgin after the Immaculate Conception.

- What? - Are you coming with something to eat?

- Oh God! What time is it? - Just before half past two.

Maybe I can still do it! She's always late too.

- You're coming, aren't you? - I don't know if we're there.

- Harald and I want to go to Sylt. - When your granddaughter goes to the theater?

- What do you have against Harald? - Nothing. I just don't like him.

(Waiter) Bon appetit.

And?

Bone dry as always. - (Waiter) Oh, I...

All right. Bring me a merlot. I wash it down.

I know with your father it was also very nice at the beginning

but with Harold... it's like in a porn.

(She laughs out loud.) (someone clears their throat) Mom!

"Mom mom"! Do you think a woman? can't turn a man on

- just because she's older than him? - 15 years!

We had an apartment right over the sea.

Although we go swimming didn't come at all.

- We had this hot tub on the Terrace... - You are impossible!

And then she says: "Yes, and I worked hard on it."

Such a mother I would have wished.

Yes, for a laugh she is always good.

But I find this "unworthy- Greisin-Getue" put on.

- She's only 60! - it's great, when you take what you want.

Who dares something like that? - Ah!

If they agree with their decision is satisfied, everything is okay.

- And dad? - The loner! There it's not your mother's fault.

you heard it! In the future i can do what i want.

Because she dreams long ago by Brad Pitt.

That's why I love you so much. you know me so well

Brad Pitt is me too old anyway.

A clear decision is better than none.

And your parents? Clear decisions?

How you take it. My father went to Poona when I was 12.

It just happened drifted apart.

(train station announcement)

(Sad music)

So I think that passes as a weasel.

Okay, the sofa is the carriage.

- Aunt Maud says... - "You must be Malcolm.

No, I'm Eddie.

I spoke to the weasel. So? are you malcolm

But I did speak from the weasel!

This dear lady is my wife

and it definitely isn't insane." I can't do this!

Sure! The text you can do well.

You like Max, don't you? I find him nice too.

- A little shy but nice. - Mummy!

Interesting.

Do you want me to tell you something? It's really interesting.

Goethe has about the bookkeeping said: "She allows us

all days the sum of ours to draw increasing happiness."

The accounting is like life:

No profit that is not on the other side would be a loss.

There are things that don't just let it be quantified.

- It's terrible, all in to express numbers. - Dreadful?

I think it's honest. What are you doing?

I'm an art historian. I work for an art dealer.

Then you understand what i'm talking about

- By the way, I'm Alexander Frey. - Catherine Schneider.

may i you visit your art dealer?

How so? Do you want ours do accounting?

goodbye

- Good morning! - Morning.

- Tell me! - What then? - Yes, who that was!

No one. I learned him know on the train.

(laughs) Why don't I ever run such guys across the way?

- No. - Ah... How long do you actually know each other?

I tell you we do not know each other.

No, I mean, you and Christopher

That's 15 years now. How so?

Henrik and I have known us for 12 years now.

"Habit is a heavenly treasure: effective substitute for happiness."

- Huh? - Pushkin. - I see. Understand.

(phone ringing)

Hi? Yes, on the phone.

What? And where is he now?

(Doctor) He broke up on the post together. Has anything like this ever happened?

We'll keep him here and... - That might suit you!

- Father! - What are you doing here?

- You had a dizzy spell. - Nonsense.

- Do not you remember? - I want to go home.

- Be sensible now. - Listen, Herr Meineke.

Your daughter will bring you a few things from home

You just want me because I have private insurance.

Do you remember Aunt Anneliese? Slipped while dancing.

Infection in the hospital fetched. Shortly thereafter she was dead.

Are you gonna call a cab now? Where are my shoes?

I can't just go to bed.

It's good.

That all has to be done.

- Should I stay with you? - What!

Do you need anything?

Listen, I've had to since be alone for long periods of time.

How are you? Your mother?

Good.

Nice.

Hm!

Are you interested? I give it to you

(Rock music, Christoph hums along.)

(on the phone) No... I think he's fine.

he just misses you

I don't blame you!

Give him a call. It has to not be tomorrow.

Don't tell him I mean anything to you said. You know how he is...

Yes, I'll do it. Good. Until then.

(He sings: "I Feel You" by Depeche Mode.)

(She sings along.)

Greetings from mom.

Thanks. And what did she say?

That dad always had a penchant for melodrama.

And you? Are you worried?

This morning is me what funny happens.

I've got to know someone, in the train.

Actually, I learned him know last week.

- I got him coffee over the jacket poured... - That connects.

We talked. He is an accountant.

Sounds exciting.

He gave me a lecture about kept double-entry bookkeeping.

- (laughs) That's one original scam. - He was nice.

- Are you ready? - With a client like Stoll?

- I think you're done. - (Laugh)

you think i'm done How did you get to that?

- You can't judge that at all. - (laughter, music: "I Feel You")

(on the phone) They really are wonderful works.

I can't wait to see her in real life.

(laughs) Yes, of course you too, Doctor Kugler.

See you next week then in Frankfurt. goodbye

Really strong. Does Kugler have the collection? set up all by yourself?

Essentially yes. A couple Drawings are from the father.

How is your father? Marie told me.

He says he's fine. But what does that mean?

He always said:

Life is a novel - even the longest comes to an end.

(Horn) Ms. Schneider? Someone wants to speak to you.

(Romantic music)

What are you doing here?

what usually want visitors here?

You want great art buy for little money.

Yes, maybe I will that too.

I like that.

Reminds me of my childhood.

You have good taste. It's yours for 200,000.

With frame?

What if I tried invite you to dinner?

- I think that would be pointless. - It's just a small invitation.

- Listen... - It's about that long.

And so fat.

Good Appetite.

- How did you find me? - So many There are no art dealers here.

And that you don't work in a crap like this...

- ... that's what you thought? - Yes!

My husband, Christopher he hates currywurst.

They want me to understand that you are taken?

- Sorry. I'm here not that routine. - In what?

So first take me by surprise with this invitation

and then you want me embarrassed.

Not at all. Tell me about your husband.

He's 40, architect... I want don't even talk about him now.

- Then tell me something about yourself. - Tell me something!

OK. I am 37.

I live with my sister Lili and her son Vincent.

My father was a diplomat. As a child I've seen half the world.

I'm sitting at the moment in a hot dog stand

- with an art historian in Hamburg. - Where have you been?

- Mozambique. Ecuador. Vietnam. Kananga. - Kananga?

A tiny little country between Burundi and Rwanda.

I'd like something now hear from you.

I have an 11 year old daughter I love my job...

- Who is your favorite painter? - That is hard to say.

Which picture would you take to a desert island?

A collage by Matisse. The "Fleurs de Neige". And you?

Oh well. No idea. Painting is not my profession.

But there is a small picture that I used to like very much.

3 women on the gray beach. One with her back to the viewer.

She strokes her black hair and looks into the distance.

The second lies with eyes closed next to it.

She has half the face covered by a white cloth.

And she dances almost by the water Third, her hair blows in the wind.

- You described that beautifully. - Do you know it?

"Les Baigneuses" by Picasso. He painted it in Biarritz,

- when he was with Olga in the honeymoon was. - Who is Olga?

His wife.

He was also married.

Would you like?

- For what reason? - Easy to drive out. To the water.

How do you imagine that? I have to work.

I find, work is overrated.

(wave noise, seagulls screeching)

What are you thinking of?

Nothing special.

To the office.

Guilty conscience?

no

That's what's happening to me a bad conscience.

- Haven't you done this before? - What?

Just made it blue.

- Not really. - Pity. These are the best days.

I used to do that more often made with my father.

He said to a leadership position involves a degree of laziness.

(she laughs) Don't laugh. That saved our lives.

In Kananga. We drove out to Lake Kivu.

On that day there was a military coup.

The capital was a single pool of blood.

They dragged the ambassador through the streets in a jeep.

For us it was easy a nice trip.

(Romantic music)

My greatest adventure was a diving holiday in the Caribbean.

I have a stingray petted.

(laughs) is adventure the result of poor planning.

But one thing interests me: If you tell, then...

that sounds so alive. Why are you then become an accountant?

(Romantic music)

- Am I asking that, or are you asking that? - What?

- Can we do that again? - That will not do.

No?

no

- See you next Thursday. - Take care.

- You too. - (Sad music)

did you forget something

(Romantic music)

- And how was your day? - Why do you ask?

- Because I care. - You wouldn't ask otherwise.

Well, otherwise you tell also by yourself.

Good... Nothing special.

So, I got mine today on the internet Viewed holiday homes.

Where do we want to go in summer?

I would like to do something completely different.

"Something completely different"? Where is that?

Well, go somewhere Where we've never been

Aha. You mean something like... Bielefeld.

Come! Corsica really wasn't bad last year, right?

You can with surfing keep going.

- And so did you liked. - Yes / Yes...

What is? Would you like it?

- What is wrong with her? - She is like this all day long.

(Crying, there is a knock.)

So what's going on?

Nothing.

Why are you crying?

The Max! He sees her every day.

- With who? - With that stupid cow! Every day!

Who knows what's behind it. Maybe they study together.

I'm not stupid! He doesn't even speak to me anymore.

Last week he still liked me.

- He probably still likes you. - No! Definitely not.

I do not understand that. Why is that?

You know, people change.

And sometimes change then also the relationships

they have to each other.

- Life is complicated. - Life sucks.

Come here.

(Marie) These Kirchner sheets are incredible!

Lempertz had in February 2 Kirchner watercolors.

They were around 12,000 and 15,000.

They haven't been that good for a long time like this one.

So I think you could there go higher... Katharina?

What?... Yes, make a note.

Yes, but. Nah... I don't know either.

- You have a crush! - (Marie laughs.)

Crap!

Stand by your feelings! Otherwise you carry it around with you forever.

The train is full of women who like would take a day off.

I'm interested not all.

(Heavy music, she laughs.)

Mean! You know exactly, that I wanted to stop.

I could not resist. It was too hideous.

(phone ringing)

Cutter... Ah, Mr. Stoll!

No, it doesn't matter at all that you call on Sunday...

When Christopher asks you: We were shopping.

Then we wanted to go to the cinema but it was sold out.

We stayed at "Le Ciel" and later in "Absinthe".

madness that this hangs with you.

I've only seen it once, up the great Schwarz retrospective.

That was the only time that I borrowed it.

See the signature: He has her had his name tattooed on it.

It was a tragic story. He loved her very much.

She drowned in a swimming accident at the Baltic Sea.

I thought her partner had them killed out of jealousy.

Schwarz just made that up, um to make things more interesting.

Why are you selling all this?

I have these pictures seen long enough.

I need white walls again.

Things happen there...

These are the witnesses of one great past. Like me.

But unlike those... I can go on a search.

Of champagne you can't just sip.

The beautiful things should be to fully enjoy.

And what brought you to art?

Coincidence.

So you have yourself in love with art?

Love isn't a coincidence.

Without the chance of an encounter no love.

The real achievement is of course keeping love.

And this is the real purpose of art.

Yes. He is a very interesting old gentleman... hmm...

Because you don't plan everything. Because you do what you want.

And on the desk: a pile of treasure.

I'm listening to you, I told him. And then I took off

and you shall comfort me." - (deep) "You must be crazy!

Because you're in love with him do you want me to comfort you?"

"Yes, you should, Franzeken.

No not at all.

If this happened to others we would understandably say:

Yes, it's clear after such a long time...

everything so ready so harmonious...

It will be natural a bit boring.

- Its not possible about any others. - No.

And me is not boring either.

Then what is it?

Definitely exciting to fuck with someone else.

I'll get myself a water. You too?

- Is that all you have to do with it occurs to? - Prefer champagne?

What do you expect from me? An uncontrolled outburst of anger?

I love you. I am happy with you.

you are obvious not so happy with me anymore.

I'll have to learn somehow deal with it.

You don't give a damn!

It's about you and me don't you get it? About us!

- (clinking) - I can't see that stuff anymore!

- Do you want to slap me now? - You do that. That would be something!

You're asking too much.

He's so shitty! As if none of this concerns him.

- He's letting me decide all alone! - Be happy,

that you are free to decide what you want to do

100 years ago you would have been beaten up been shot, or your lover shot.

Or maybe both. Maybe you would prefer that?

For you this is again no problem!

That pisses me off, that is never a problem for you!

Do you think it was easy to separate from your father?

Anyway, I was looking for one first others when I was single again.

I wasn't looking for anyone!

By the way, your father did drawn up a living will.

He doesn't want artificial be kept alive.

And has me as his Authorized persons used.

It's probably something like that like his revenge on me.

(phone ringing)

Cutter.

Mr. Stoll, good day.

Yes, the... No...

Excuse me, it just doesn't fit, i...

Mr. Stoll, I do not have time now.

no

I know very well what service is.

Mr. Stoll, I'll call you back this afternoon.

Then tell your wife

that they agree with their suggestions to wipe your ass!

And if they still have one of theirs has shitty good ideas

then I will come and stuff it in her mouth!

Mr. Stoll?

He already has cleverly done.

she leaves him and still can't get rid of him.

When my father got sick we had to with Lili...

sorry but one Medical history is enough for me.

I told him everything.

What did he say?

Introduce yourself, we would be together for 15 years.

I would tell you that I fell in love with someone else

How would you react? would you fight

Battle?

this is not the right moment but I have to tell you something.

- You're pregnant. - Not yet.

I applied. At the German Development Service.

They do projects for local business development.

Help for self-help, you know.

There's also something in Kananga.

- I think, they will take me - Ah.

but I want not necessarily go alone.

How so? Look for them there too art historians?

(English) Don't know.

It would be an adventure.

- You do not even know me. - I know you well enough.

Just think about it.

And what about Nelly? How do you imagine that?

It's not that difficult.

There is a international school in Kutovu.

This is the capital.

(door noise)

Do you know it already?

What do I know?

The hospital called an hour ago.

your father is dead

(She cries, sad sounds.)

(Antiquarian)... In the basement are 85 boxes left.

Here are the more valuable pieces: First editions, rarities.

Give it to a colleague who goes to trade fairs or auctions.

you get more than I can pay you.

No, take everything with you and make an offer.

The Meyers of 1890 I would like to keep.

And your mother? Would you like to keep something too?

I have no idea. I ask them.

- Well, can you still? - It's so dusty.

I used to get over these whole hams annoyed.

- Were there as many back then? - oodles.

But you know what was great? Behind the shelves was a spot

it was so quiet there because the books have swallowed everything.

- That's when I met the guys Smoochy. - Mummy! - What?

Just forget it, okay?

OK. I'll bring you a coke.

- Do you want anything else? - Any beer?

I'll check.

- Mummy? - Here! - Do you want some of the books?

Just stop me with the books! Dust catcher, stupid.

Trieste.

Your father was all along in the library,

and we sat on this one smelly harbor and ate pizza.

Amazing it at all there's a photo of the three of us.

So no books for you?

In a bookstore did it start

heard in a bookstore it on. Kind of consistent.

I don't even know anymore what book I wanted to buy.

I believe that was "Silent Days in Clichy" by Miller.

The bookseller searched and searched.

Then he saw the man in the leafed through the last copy.

And he left it to me. A Cavalier.

he impressed me a lot because he was so smart and well read

and not at all stated with it.

Later he gave me the book read aloud. He was good at reading.

Eventually he has stopped doing that.

And with many others things too...

People change over time.

Maybe you learn them only know better.

I've been with Horn for around 3 months asked for unpaid leave.

Doctor Kugler wants that I accompany him to China.

He wants to buy there and needs someone to advise him.

But you have no idea about China.

I drive, as soon as everything is done here.

Hello, my dear. Wake up, we're going home.

(Sad music)

I want you to know that everything has nothing to do with you.

Do you think you can do it a few weeks?

Otherwise it's not a problem. We can do it.

- It's because of the man from the train. - What?

I was listening when you quarreled with dad.

listening is not particularly fine.

Nobody tells me anything.

The man's name is Alexander but it's over.

Just like with Max.

What about Max?

The stupid cow has now another from the tithe.

There he is again.

But now there's Jean-Luc.

Ah, Jean Luc...

From Paris. So cute. Maybe Can I visit him there?

- Je t'aime. - What?

This is French and means "I love you".

- Maybe you can use. - Mummy! - (laughs) What?

(train station announcement, sustained music)

What do you say when you say goodbye?

No idea.

"Take care. Stay healthy.

Drink only boiled water.

Write... I'll follow

It was nice. I love you."

(He sighs, sound of waves.)

Over there is Africa.

Over there lies Cuxhaven.

(Sad music: "Damaged People", Depeche Mode)

(Music: "Damaged People".) (He sings along with the lyrics.)

(They both sing along.)

I know someone who would now call that kitsch...

so sit on the floor and sing melancholy songs...

I actually think it's pretty nice.

Now listen to me:

A father-in-law demands his 3 sons-in-law up,

to form sentences in which the words "large" and "small" occur.

The two older ones handle it with ease

but the youngest he broods... and broods.

As his mother-in-law enters the room, he says:

"My mother-in-law has one big head and very small feet."

And what does that mean now?

The Chinese laugh at that!

(She laughs.)

There they can really pour out.

(He sighs.)

do you think that's funny

It's only for 3 months.

In 3 months a lot can happen.

But sometimes too in 3 seconds.

What about Stoll? Did you apologize to him?

nope Why?

His wife has herself apologize to me.

(Sad music, "You Are The Only One")

Elegant!

- Is he there yet? - He's waiting in the lounge.

Well then...

Give Nelly another hug for me.

Yes, I'll do it.

I call as soon as i get there

Take care.

Come back.

(Sad music: "You Are The Only One")

Catherine? Come. It starts.

(Sad music: "You Are The Only One")

(Sad music: "You Are The Only One")

(sad music, engine noise)
