(Kokoschka :) Alma!

Wait, Alma!

N / A? Who says it?

A human under rats!

Alma! ... wait!

(Someone is kidding him :) Alma! Alma! The Kokoschka?

Like behind a bitch in heat. He powdered the wrong ones.

And nobody looks after him.

(Fast piano playing)

(She plays very fast always the same melody.)

(Still the same melody)

(Final note)

Thank you very much!

(Distant violin music)

I'm so happy, Margarete.

I have never been so happy for anyone others. It is strange.

But nice!

A nice feeling.

(Hooves rattle.) Today they are coming!

This is the third day, Georg. I do not want to any more.

Georg!

Werfel, Schnitzler and Rilke.

Oh! Now he has again a new novel.

George, please! Whether today or tomorrow does not matter. There! Here it is.

Here! Georg Trakl! That is my book.

It's me. This is me. ... Here please!

(The church clock beats.) Help me! Everything is wet here.

(Nothing to understand.) Gretl! ... Gretl!

What do you want?

See if you still live.

You see it! You can not run away forever!

What you do not say.

And what does he want?

Professor Brückner. ... My brother Georg.

We met. Volatile.

Forgive me! I'll come then for the second hour.

Gretl! Gretl, please! I am sorry!

I was rough. I look too often only on myself.

But that does not mean, that I do not know. What?

What you can do and what it means and how much that is.

I am really proud of you.

You can hide it well. Otherwise you will become too conceited.

Douchebag! Right!

But only because it is me it works so well.

Is not it a bit narrow?

You little bitch!

(Georg opens the door.) (Doorbell)

They are all gone. All! Only one is still there.

They are all sold. All!

They are all gone!

But people are reading today also every trash.

That's all thanks to you. You do not know how much.

I'm fine, Gretl. Everything! I swear!

I thought, you do not come anymore.

No?

No.

(She plays quiet piano music.)

Everything will be different now, Gretl.

If I succeed ...

... and money ...

Finally money, Gretl!

We travel, live in the best hotels.

Everything is possible with money.

I do not need stupid money.

I just need you!

That will become you then already liked.

I actually wanted wait with it.

What shoud that?

That's Australia.

That's the other side of the world.

That's paradise. ... alone!

What is?

Why not?

Maybe because nobody is there understands except you?

(Accordion music) Amazing!

Exactly!

For wedding cards. Some do that.

This is printed. She is my sister!

There comes some dork and you pull the tail!

The dork knows half the city. Yes and?

A fucking scared you have.

A fucking scared! You have to look at what's possible.

Shall I hide like one? mangy dog? We have to get away!

I need my language! Never too close.

Just never get full!

Either way or not. If it suits you, get me.

And in between, I'll be the best invisible. Yes? Like this. Yes.

And what will happen to me?

Where do I still happen?

You have to know that yourself!

(She strangles hard.)

And tomorrow?

I do not know yet.

Perhaps!

Good day!

(Music) And then she stops me again.

For days, weeks.

She is married. Not?

But that's not it.

No. ... She is waiting.

She waits for me at her door scratch like a running dog.

And then she sits me model.

So! Do you understand, Trakl?

And only sometimes, ...

... seldom, she gives herself really.

And I like a dork.

As if there were only one in the world.

Only they!

And how do you handle that?

That it will not change?

That they never will heard completely?

How do you do that?

To become insane.

Work.

And also ...

If I really had her, that ...

That would be terrible. Because longing ...

Longing is the biggest motivation.

Fulfillment is a shit. Or?

What do you want? Do you know me, Trakl?

Again and again you ask the same things.

Who is this really?

My sister.

It's my sister!

That's wonderful, Trakl.

It's perfect.

You become a very great poet.

They are getting big.

(Piano Music)

"In the beautiful -"

"... The month of May, ..."

"... as all -"

"... Buds jumped."

Already the tied up prelude -

- in the piano part at the beginning of the song implies sadness.

A heartbreaking idea of Downfall. (Sob)

(Brückner plays a quiet tune.)

Look who we got there?

(Dance music)

The sister!

Thank you! With pleasure.

Kokoschka. I am with your brother known. As far as that is possible.

You invited her. What?

Damn idiot!

Are you crazy? Do you want it? spoil with all?

Are you scared, Ludwig? That I no longer need you?

You make it hard. Yes? Yes. What should I do?

To make you easier? Say! Come over!

Now tell me!

(A woman laughs loudly.)

Come over!

Where to? Home. To me or to you? Take care, you!

He's my brother. He is my brother too.

He is my dearest! Be quiet!

I'm not lying anymore. Did you Roger that? A woman.

We need a wife!

Is no one daring?

Gretl, go now! You're welcome!

Why, Shushi?

Tell me here! tell me once in front of everybody!

Because I rest wants.

Because I finally mean mine Wants to have peace in front of you.

Then you better go now! Not without you!

What should I do? (Applause)

Well uh ...

You're welcome!

Living sculpture.

Who knows something, ...

... calls -

"The adoration". This is "The Adoration".

Rodin. Autumn salon Paris last year.

Bravo! Bravo!

I'll kill you, you!

Stupid dog! Georg! Leave it! He is crazy.

So you! Hm?

It was only her.

I really never knew you.

And it stays that way now.

Pack your things! Tomorrow you are out.

(Ludwig closes the door quietly.)

She is so much younger.

And she is my student. My interest -

- it was only about the music. That's not a reproach, Professor.

It's just a request.

How old are you, Professor?

Old enough. Old enough, -

- just to encourage, who is really worth it?

Old enough to be a family to found?

Away from everything here?

In another city? Maybe in the country?

Your sister will be me do not marry. She will!

Because she always did what I want.

And this once it will be be good for her.

Force them to reason!

It is her only chance.

Thank you!

Hello, Mom!

Did Georg send you? Who visits you in the night?

Schubeck.

Schubeck?

Yes and?

The landlady saw him, Grete!

Whom?

You tell me!

Oh! Such a nonsense.

And the?

I tried you keep. Always!

To the boarding school with six already. And the holidays abroad.

But you with your defiance wanted to go to Vienna!

God is my witness. I was against it.

What do you say?

Say it!

Oh God! You knew it.

You always knew it. From the beginning.

No. No. Oh but! You knew it!

No! You let it happen.

You left us alone. Even with it! Why?

I ... did not know anything!

Go away! Go away!

I ... I am you nothing more.

I am no longer anyone Guilty.

Only myself. I want you to win, Gretl.

At least you! You have what it takes.

Marriage Brückner!

This is your last chance.

That kills him.

He can not stand that.

I'm at the hotel, until I go home.

(A door is opened and closed.)

What does the doctor say?

Do not be sad!

He says it can take at the ... first.

A year. Often longer.

What is this?

Latest method! Oh come!

That will be fine.

Is there something for me?

Lobmann asks if you are this time play at the summer concert.

No!

That is such a waste! A shame!

I can not stand there anymore. Then look elsewhere!

You have to play again! I just have to die someday.

Let me help you! I can help.

A reading. ... His first reading!

Never do that, never again!

We wanted to go to Bayreuth on that day. What does he want?

Again money? I telegraph him. He asked you once!

Out of necessity. He needs me there.

He's my brother. And I am your husband.

We talk tomorrow. And if I say no?

Forgive!

You're welcome!

I just wish it had once to do with me.

I can not find anything you almost as moving,

- like everything with him related.

But probably I am very badly missed.

And I can ... give nothing.

Nothing!

"It's a stubble field, into which a black rain falls. "

"It's a brown tree, lonely. "

"It's a breeze, the empty huts orbiting. "

"How sad this evening."

"Collecting past the hamlet the gentle orphan - "

"- still sparse ears."

"Her eyes are round and golden - "

"- at dusk."

"And her lap is waiting of the heavenly bridegroom. "

"When returning home found the shepherds - "

"- decay the sweet body in the thorn bush. "

"I am a shadow -"

"- distant dark villages."

"God's silence ..."

"I drank the silence of God from the well of the grove. "

"On my forehead -"

"- enters cold metal."

"Spiders are looking for my heart."

"It is a light, -"

"- that goes out in my mouth."

"At night I found myself on a heath, - "

"- staring at filth and dust of the stars. "

"The hazel bushes sounded again crystalline angels. "

Grete? Did you see that?

My God! Have you heard, how to clap?

Sorry, Gretl! I am so happy.

So incredible ...

Just glad.

Thanks, Gretl!

This is my sister.

Oh, you are that!

I am very pleased.

Should we go home? Yes, we drive.

(Nothing to understand.)

(Nothing to understand.)

Gretl! ... Gretl! Now wait!

I have to get up early tomorrow. Tomorrow is Sunday!

Do you want to show me more? here? What do you rhyme together?

That nothing is forever. Gretl! We need to talk.

But I can not leave now. No. Because your friends are here.

Your new, good friends! No! That's not possible!

But after that maybe.

Later! ... Who knows?

(He sighs.)

(Someone opens the door.)

(She moans lustfully.)

Stop! ... Stop!

(Whispers) It's just fine. It is not the time.

Come over!

Grete! I am always scared.

Every day.

If you are satisfied too.

If I do not get too much from life and you too little.

What else can I do, Grete?

You have done everything, Georg.

That's enough for a life!

Did you really mean you come from it?

Then take care now, Georg!

This night ...

That was just too much!

From today I need you no more.

Because from today I am not alone anymore.

Do you understand?

Never alone!

You did not do that!

That must not be!

It is the biggest sin!

Then it suits us.

A whole ... Do you remember, Georg?

A meat.

Now it is time!

Who in God's name are you?

I am who I always was.

Only you are different.

You forgot everything.

Ouch!

I am happy.

(A child is calling :) Here to me!

(Other child :) I want too.

Exactly, me too!

(The kids laugh.)

Aaah!

(She screams loudly.)

Where is she?

Do not touch me! Take your bastard fingers from me!

Go away! Get lost! It is my child. It belongs to me. Go away!

(Cry :) Leave me in peace finally!

Go away! ... Side walk!

Leave me in peace! Get lost!

Out! ... go out, Brückner!

You're welcome!

(Grete cries.) Go please!

Sleep now!

That you ...

... get well soon.

You have to get well!

(She whispers :) He does not know.

He thinks it's his child.

He must not know it!

"It's ringing the night in the warehouse our kisses. "

"It whispers where:"

"Who blames you?"

"Still shuddering from wicked Lust sweetie. We pray:"

"Forgive us, Mary, in your favor! "

"Climb out of flower bowls greedy scents. "

"Caress our foreheads pale with guilt. "

"Dulling under the breath the sultry airs. "

"We are dreaming:"

"Forgive us, Mary, in your favor! "

"But the spring is noisier the sirens and - "

"- the Sphinx sticks out darker before our fault. "

"That our hearts are more sinful sound again. "

"We sob:"

"Forgive us, Mary, in your favor! "

(He hears the door closing.)

It is your fault, when she dies!

They killed her! So, with that, -

- with it, with it! There was always only you.

They only loaned it to me. Only a part of her.

You knew it?

No.

No.

I only know it since yesterday.

She was talking feverishly and she was ...

... very precise!

How can you? deal with it?

Why?

Top Grade!

Why?

I dont know.

There was no choice.

You are a monster!

No matter what I do, I can always just lose!

I do not like anymore.

Maybe it does not always work for winning.

Rather?

To endure. (She sighs.)

I do not know. To understand.

You are put in its place.

You can not choose it. Oh no?

But you!

Did not you always have what did you want from me?

What I wanted most, I never told you that.

Because you would have given it to me!

A long time ago.

Do you understand?

You would have gone with me.

Also there!

Life scares me more as death.

Always.

For everything else forgive me!

Forgive me, Gretl!

Not for me, but for you.

Make your peace with the world!

And then?

Then you'll see it once ...

... once really ...

... The life.

Without me.

In freedom!

(Birds chirp loudly)

So then!

One more thing, Shushi!

There is no Last Day!

And no guilt beyond death.

Everything is focused here.

You get everything here, and you pay everything here.

After that there are -

- nothing more.

Only peace and light.

I know it, Georg.

I felt it.

I was almost there!
