ALPHA.

This meditation is normally done in a sitting position.

Finding a position of stability and poise.

As you sit here, letting an image form in your mind's eye

of a most magnificent or beautiful mountain

noticing how massive it is

how solid

how unmoving,

and how beautiful.

And when you feel ready

see if you can bring the mountain into your own body.

So that your body and the mountain in your mind's eye

become one.

Hi, Dad.

Where are you?

Sure. See you soon.

- Rein. - Anja.

Were you out snowboarding?

I want to go too.

You will one day.

Why do you look like a robber?

Hey Anja, how are you?

Not good. We can't do jumps.

Really? Christian doesn't let you jump?

That's stupid. Maybe next time.

Hi, Rein.

I think she missed you today. She asked for you all the time.

Really? Well, she's a warrior.

- Thanks for being such a good teacher. - You're stupid.

- Shall we go up one more time? - Yes.

Are you okay?

Are you a little stressed out or what?

Can you hear me?

You nearly ran her over.

Is there a problem?

Oh well your son nearly ran her over.

Be a little careful, yeah?

Why are you so aggressive?

I'm aggressive?

- Yeah, you are. - I'm not aggressive.

- Yeah, you're aggressive. - You're aggressive.

No, you're fucking aggressive. Okay?

Just let it go. Let it go.

- It took a bit longer. - That's fine.

- Find everything okay? - Yes.

Hey, Rein.

- You lost weight. - I guess.

- Is that a new car? - Well, new... it's used.

Drives like a beast.

This is it, right?

Well, well. So this is where you've been hiding.

Yeah.

There's only one bed.

You could take the sofa and use a sleeping bag or...

- Just a blanket will be fine. - Oh, right. I'll give you my blanket.

- Is... - Or you can take my bed. I'll sleep here.

- No, I'm fine. - Just take my bed, Dad.

- No, really. - Are you sure?

I'm sure. I'll take the sofa. Is it a pull-out? Does it fold out?

- I don't know. - Doesn't matter. I'll be fine.

Right.

That's some view.

The ski slopes are back there.

What's that red light over there?

No idea.

Have you had dinner yet? We could grab a bite.

- Where? - Over there.

Is that a restaurant?

- Nice place. - Yeah, it's all right.

- It doesn't look it, but it's quite nice. - 'Gemütlich'.

I would love to have a big, cold beer.

One big, cold beer. Yes.

Can I have a sparkling water, please?

Sparkling water.

Are you seriously having water?

You're having water?

Thank you.

Priska?

- Yes? - Can I also have a beer please?

- Yes of course. - Sorry.

- Priska. - Yes.

Lovely girl.

You know her?

- She works here. - You don't say.

Great to be here, man. Don't you think so?

- Yeah. - It's lovely to see you.

Lovely to see you too.

I haven't heard from you in so long. How are you doing?

Fine.

Things are great. I love teaching.

I really do. It just feels so good to be in the mountains.

- So I'm doing well. - Any auditions or self-tapes?

- No. - Not at all?

All right.

I can imagine it feels good to get away from it all for a bit.

Yeah, I guess so.

Did you bring your keyboard?

Yes.

- Do you play often? - Not really. No.

Oh well.

We each deal with it in our own way.

To each their own.

That's okay.

Sure.

Two large beers.

And how are you? How have you been?

Fine, actually. I play the trombone, I play tennis, meet up with old friends.

I try not to think too much.

It's okay to be sad.

But it's also okay not to be sad. Isn't it?

What?

Nothing.

Are you seeing anyone, Reinout?

Go on, you can tell me.

A lovely young lady?

How about you? Are you...

- Are you dating? - Give me a break.

- Are you? - Of course not. Are you mad?

- Me? - Why not?

Of course not. It's only been three months.

Idiot.

Well, I am talking to someone...

She lost her husband. He didn't die, or anything... they got divorced.

Enormous prick. He left her in the worst way.

She wants to talk, I'm willing to listen.

You could say we both lost a loved one.

She's far too young for me anyway.

Who is she?

- Do I know her? - No. Although... Perhaps you do.

Lisa.

Lisa? What Lisa?

- Jaap's daughter? - That's right.

You're kidding.

What?

- She's my age. - No, she isn't. Come on.

She's a lot younger.

No, we had a great time. It was...

He smiled when I mentioned your name.

No. No, he...

No, of course not.

I told him we talk occasionally and sometimes meet up.

No, don't be silly.

Right. It was nice to hear your voice. I'm going to bed. Okay, bye.

You're up early.

Are you done?

Dad...

- What? - You twisted my fucking neck.

Can't beat your old dad, huh?

It's nice out.

- How are you? - I'm fine, and you?

This is my father.

Hi, I'm Laura, nice to meet you.

Hi Laura, nice to meet you too. My name is Gijs.

- Gijs? - Yes.

Okay, hi!

Hi.

Hey! The famous actor.

Well, famous in Holland. Hi.

I'm Anna.

Hi Anna, really nice to meet you.

No it's nice to meet you!

Oh, come on.

Hey Rein.

Hey dear.

- Hi, everyone. - Where were you? I rang you.

I was on Sulegg mountain. I didn't notice.

- At what time did you get up? - I went out at four.

- Off to Sulegg. - My little morning routine.

Hey Rein, nice to see you!

Hey man, how are you?

Good and you?

Good. This is my father.

Nice to meet you, Julien.

So Gijs, are you a good skier?

Well, I don't know.

I'm probably not as good as you are, but I can get down the slope.

He's good.

He's a good skier.

Yeah that's what I thought. You look like a mountain man.

Do I?

What does a mountain man look like?

Like you.

Oh yeah?

- Just look at that, Laura. - Amazing.

Looks great, huh?

- Is that where we're going? - Yes.

It looks much more scary than it actually is.

Well, I don't think I'm going up there.

- You'll be fine. There's a trail. - Come now, Rein...

If you wanna go, you go you know. That's okay. You know, I'm gonna take it easy.

To warm up on the slopes.

I mean of course you can warm up first and then see how you feel.

Honestly, maybe it might seem scary because you're from the Netherlands

and not used to it, but it's actually not dangerous up there.

I think you can do it.

Yeah, you think so?

You'll be fine.

Rein, I'm really not going up there today.

Okay.

Yeah, Julien, nice!

Rein, are you all right?

Can you hear me?

Guys! I think he's hurt.

Reintje, can you hear me?

Are you okay?

He's... I think he's...

Hey Rein.

Rein can you hear us?

Rein?

I think I'm gonna call Rega.

What?

We, we have to call?

Laura, wait.

Fuck!

Dude, that's not funny, man.

Fuck.

Tosser.

That's not funny.

- Jeez man. - Christ...

What?

Guys, it's just a joke.

Arsehole.

So Laura, where are you from? Originally?

I'm from Munich.

Aha, ja.

And, and your parents? Where did they come from?

Oh my parents? They are from Munich too.

Okay.

But then your grandparents, where were they from?

Dad, what are you doing?

I can ask, can't I? Jeez...

Sorry.

It's fine.

My grandparents, from my father's side they are from Ghana.

Ghana! Ghanese, you're Ghanese.

Well, I'm German.

Absolutely.

How about you? Where are your grandparents from?

From my father's side they're from Brabant, in the South of Holland.

And from my mother's side from the North, Groningen, so I'm stuck in the middle.

Nice.

That's also a song. Stuck in the middle.

Oh, don't know that.

Because, you don't see many black people ski, you know.

- What the fuck, Dad. - Well, it's the truth, isn't it?

Well, my whole family ski's like every year.

Oh yeah? Your whole family?

Yeah.

Wow. That's so cool.

Yeah.

Jesus...

Are you afraid of heights?

Oh, well, you know, I don't particularly like it.

Okay.

So I'll close my eyes now a little bit.

Just close your eyes. It's fine. I'm here. I'll hold you. You're safe.

Okay.

You're my guarding angel.

Oh yeah. I'll hold you, it's fine.

What are you doing?

No, Rein. Are you crazy?

Rein...

Idiot.

- We'll meet at Addi's. - Jesus...

Rein, that was fucking dangerous, dude.

I was really confused...

As a child you don't know. I mean, you think each incident is in the same...

Hey! What happened there?

You're crazy.

I saw some nice powder. Its very nice under the ski lift.

Good snow?

It was amazing. Under the lift, that's the best.

I told this story to my teacher...

- What are you drawing? - This morning's hike to Sulegg.

The view including Eiger, Mönch und Jungfrau.

And Lobhörner.

Lobhörner... they look like a claw.

Yeah. They really stand out in the landscape.

- You can also climb them in the summer. - Oh yeah?

Come sit with us.

Don't you think my son is a handsome dude?

Well I think you both are.

You have to order. We already put our order in.

You really have beautiful hands, you know that.

Oh you think so?

Yeah I think so.

Thank you.

They're strong, yet elegant.

You don't have rings, I like that.

Thank you.

They remind me of my wife's hands.

Sorry, I'm sorry.

It's okay.

Rein told me she passed away recently.

Yeah, she...

She was ill. So she decided to...

I'm sorry.

No, no need to say sorry. It's okay.

It's funny because,

one moment I'm very happy and then it hits you and...

I think that's normal.

Yeah, I think so too.

He wasn't even there when Mum died.

He's pretending to cry.

He's an actor.

It's okay.

Yeah.

- He's offensive to you. - He's not offensive at all.

He's trying to impress you. He's flirting with you.

I'm going back inside, okay?

I'll be right there.

You pull here... like really hard, don't do it now.

Cause then, the airbag will come out here.

Yeah like...

Do you all have airbags?

No, no I don't.

It's too heavy.

Me neither.

- Do you have one, Rein? - No.

But you do have one of these.

Let's see, can I have a look?

I think we should test everything outside.

Outside?

Where did you get that airbag?

Where did you get it?

Oh, I borrowed it, from Addi.

Alright.

So now you do want to climb the mountain?

Yeah, well... They said I could.

That it's safe. So...

What?

Is this your second beer?

No, it's my tenth. What do you think?

You okay?

Yeah,

we're fine.

He needs to eat something, that's always been his problem.

Are you not gonna eat anything?

No, I'm fine.

You sure?

Yeah.

Okay.

I think you should try. I mean you have really beautiful...

- Skiing? - Yeah why not?

Ah, no no no no, I think I stick to snowboarding.

You see music, is magical. Wherever you are in the world you can always

make music. That's why I always take my trombone when I'm travalling.

Oh really?

Nice, but, I love when others make music you know.

Oh you like to watch.

Yes, and to listen.

Laura, what's going on with you and Rein?

Well I don't know what's going on...

Are you going to be my daughter in law?

- Ignore him. He's drunk. - What was that?

- I said you're drunk. - Why do you keep saying that?

- Because it's true. - Just shut up, will you.

You're not taking of your jacket?

No I'm fine.

You sure? You're gonna be warm.

No I'm fine.

Alright let's go.

Laura, lead me!

Alright, let's get this old man up this goddamn mountain.

Come on Gijs, you're not that old.

Rein, it's... It's a fucking ravine. We're up so high.

Come on, Dad.

What is it?

Guys are you okay?

Come on mountain man, you can do it.

Oh jesus.

Gijs, stay where you are. Coming over.

Gijs, focus on me.

Okay we're gonna do it together.

Now hold on to me, and I hold you as well.

Try to stand up.

I'm holding you. We're gonna go together alright.

Focus on me, step by step. Alright.

Good job.

There you go.

- Thank you very much. - There you go.

You're my guardian angel.

What do you think? Is your dad doing all right?

My dad? Sure, he's fine.

Nice of my girlfriend to worry about my father.

Girlfriend?

Do you mean girlfriend as in girlfriend?

- I don't know. - I'm not your girlfriend yet.

Aren't you?

You know I'm heading back to Munich tomorrow.

Yeah, but... We'll see each other again, right?

- I don't know. - For fuck's sake...

It's so fucking steep.

- You good? - Yes.

I think we're gonna take some rest.

Yeah sure.

You go follow them, we will be right behind you.

What?

Yeah, we catch some breath, it's better.

Is that a good idea, Rein?

Yeah, of course.

It's your last day with them, I know...

We'll see you there and otherwise we'll see you tonight, we'll have dinner.

Yeah join for dinner, that would be fun.

- Rein. - It's good, just go!

It's alright.

Be careful.

Alright.

See you later.

See you later.

I'll follow your tracks.

- See you guys. - Hey Tschüss.

Tschüss.

I thought you didn't have a girlfriend.

Fuck... It's so steep here.

Why did you come here?

What?

Reinout... You left right after the funeral.

I haven't heard from you since. Never.

I wanted to see you. I was worried.

Wouldn't it be better to get going before we lose sight of them?

Rein... you see, we need to go.

Come on, man.

Your hands remind me of my wife's hands?

Rein, wait.

Rein.

Rein.

I'm not comfortable with this.

We only have 100 metres to go.

You want to go down here?

Could you at least wait for me?

Where do you want to go down?

- Rein? - Right here.

I don't think so.

Looks scarier than it is.

I'm not going down here, Rein.

I don't think that's a good idea.

Then what would you like to do?

Hike all the way back across that ridge?

Isn't there an easier way down somewhere else?

There's a cliff over there. We have to go.

Put on your coat and let's go.

Fuck.

Let's just walk back, Rein.

Christ... What's wrong with you?

- I'm not walking back. - No, no...

- Get your skis. - I'm not skiing downhill.

- We're going to walk back. - Look at me.

You're starting to panic. There's no need for that.

Rein... Don't do it.

- Let me go. - Rein...

What are you doing?

Fucking arsehole.

- You can jump. It's soft. - I told you I didn't want to go down.

- Just jump. - You don't do this.

Don't ever do this again.

Don't hit me.

You shouldn't hit me.

Avalanche. To the side, to the side.

Rein!

Rein!

Rein!

Kom!

Rein!

Rein!

Kom!

Rein!

God damn it.

Here. Off.

Are you OK? Are you OK?

You OK?

Here.

I'm here. I'm here.

Goddamn, man. I'll get you out.

I'll get you out.

You're going to be OK.

It's OK.

Goddamn.

Give me your arm. Come here.

- Ouch. - What is it?

What's hurting you? Are you OK?

What hurts?

Sit up.

Up straight. Come. It's OK.

I'm sorry.

It's OK.

Okay.

Are you OK?

My knee.

Pain?

Sprained, I guess. I'm just feeling it now.

It's OK.

I'm going to call Rega.

It's broken.

Give me your phone.

Let's do it like this.

We're just going to go back now.

We're just going to walk back. Calmly.

Where we went off, we'll just take the old way back.

We're just going to walk back. OK?

- Can you do that with your knee? - I don't know.

We can go downhill for a little bit.

The service is better down there. We can call Rega.

All right? Can you ski?

Just for a little bit.

- I can try. - With your knee?

Okay.

Are you OK?

How did you find me?

I had the beacon.

But it took a long time.

Thank you.

We've got to go, Rein.

I don't see them anymore.

- I can't see the tracks anymore. - Do you have service?

No.

But the GPS is still working.

How's your knee?

Painful.

It'll take half an hour. Can you make it?

Dad.

Dad.

Dad.

Dad.

- What happened? - I heard you call out.

I came here. I went down. Hit a branch.

I think... I tore something. I felt it snap.

- Can you move? - Yeah.

- Can you stand up? - I can try.

Wait, wait.

This is not going to work.

What are you doing?

I'm making a splint.

Here. Hold this.

Can you bend it a little bit?

- OK. Dad? - Yes?

Can you

ski?

I'll try. I don't think I can, but...

- Can you stand? - Yes. Grab my pole.

Is everything all right?

Rein.

I can't.

No, I can't. I can't. I'll walk.

Put those away.

I'll walk.

We're on a lake.

A lake?

Yeah.

You have to hold them further down.

We're almost there, Dad.

How?

What?

It's a bit farther than I thought.

Are you OK?

Want to stop?

Take shelter?

Are you okay?

Let's get some rest before we move on.

All right?

My little Rein...

I saw a buzzard.

Dad.

Hey. Dad.

Can you hear me?

Look at me.

I'm so hot.

Dad.

I'm going to get help.

Don't fall asleep.

Don't sleep.

I'll be back.

Stay awake.

Here.

Here's the red light. Remember?

Don't fall asleep, okay?

Stay awake.

Keep staring into the light.

I'll be back in half an hour.

We'll come back for you. Okay?

Hang in there.

I love you.

Do you know what happened?

You had an accident.

You have a concussion.

Rein.

Do you remember me?

I'm the pilot who flew you to the hospital, this morning.

When we took you out of the helicopter you told me something.

You said: "We have to get him".

Do you remember who you meant?

Did you mean the person who hit you?

Okay.

I'm going to leave you my card.

Please call me if you remember.

Or, if you need anything.

Do you have friends or family here?

Where?

Here in Switzerland?

Okay.

Please call me if you remember.

Yes?

Bye.

Bye.

Can I help you?

Is there a bathroom?

First we go all the way up, then we track back down. okay?

We're here.

That's the rock formation you pointed out on the map.

To your left.

No I don't recognize it.

Can we go back? Can you turn around?

There were trees.

I don't remember.

Sorry.

We have 15 minutes left.

- We'll stay here for a few more minutes. - Okay.

Take your time.

For Willem.
