Martin?

Darling...

Hello, Martin?

Hello! - Hey, what are you doing?

Put your video on, I want to see you.

Now!

Hi.

What's up?

It makes you look so young.

Yeah? - Yeah.

Or maybe not... No, I take it hack.

You need to get some sleep.

You,re charming as ever.

Are you still at the workshop?

No.

I rearranged the bedroom a little hit.

Did you sleep any better? - Nope. They had a party again.

Really? - Yep.

Really. So annoying.

Join in the party or find a different hotel.

Right.

That's the only solution.

Tell me something.

I'm happy just looking at you.

You old charmer.

I want to know if you miss me.

Let me have a think.

Of course I miss you.

Yeah?

Nice. - And you?

Pretty had.

Oh well...

Just come hack.

I,d love to.

If only it were that simple.

Oh man. - How's the office?

Mega-stressful.

Yeah? - Yep, long days.

I have to he up early again tomorrow. - What time?

Six.

Speak to you tomorrow then? - Yep, when I'm home.

Right.

Night, darling. - Sleep tight.

You too. - Night.

Bye. - Bye.

Paths

Dad?

Dad? - Yes?

My charger.

In your room? - It's still plugged in.

OK. - Thanks.

So you don't starve.

Look after it.

Quick, put it away.

You at least have your shoes, right?

Max, look!

Remember how to put the film in? - Yes.

You have to... - I know.

Look after it. - I will.

Write to us when you get time. - Yes, I will.

I'll send photos, I'll write.

We're allowed to see him to the door, right?

Yeah, come on.

What are you doing? - Just a little hit.

That's really not necessary. - Sure it is.

If we're not allowed to take you to the station...

Now he's gone.

He'll he hack.

When does your train leave again?

Don't hold me to these measurements.

It's just about giving you a hit of an idea.

At the hack there was this kind of rear wall.

I remember for certain

there being two drawers at the front.

Like this.

There were handles on the drawers,

I remember the movement they made.

As kids, we'd always open them and get inside.

How long is it since you last sat on that cabinet?

Over 50 years.

Amazing.

Was there any inlay work in this area,

between the drawers or on the sides?

Decorations like twines or plants?

Possibly. - Yes?

There may well have been. - OK.

I propose

that I draft up four relatively different designs,

and you can choose one next time,

and then we discuss the details.

Excellent. - Yes?

I'll see you to the door and you can take a card with you.

What is it today then?

I have a pretty rough hangover.

Smoking's the best thing for that.

I can always smoke.

Goodbye party.

Leaving party.

Whose?

Suse's.

Ob no.

Everyone wants to leave.

It's nice here.

Incredibly nice.

Don't you think so? You can go too then.

You want rid of me? - No. You're the best trainee I ever had.

I'm the only trainee you've ever had. - Yes...

So you're also the best.

Hey, darling.

What are you up to?

I really miss you.

Right. That's why it's always good to have some mozzarella at home.

I can't even find it here in the supermarket.

Just in case you turn up at my door.

I know.

What are you conjuring up tonight? I need some inspiration.

I've got no idea.

Ob, nice.

Very nice. I've had frozen pizza three nights in a row.

That's not very healthy.

You're too much.

Hey. - Hey.

What's up?

Nothing.

It's nice to he hack here.

Fresh air.

You know what I was just thinking about?

How you were there for me when I was in hospital.

That was ages ago.

I don't know what I,d do without you.

Don't worry.

I'm here.

Max?

Martin! It's Max. - Coming.

OK. Did you lose your phone?

Put him on speakerphone.

I'll put some nice music on.

You know what Sophie said at the end?

She said we're perfect.

We are.

Sure.

So what if we're not?

Then we're not.

Don't drive yourself crazy over this.

You don't have to work.

I absolutely want to work, Andreas.

Another walk through the woods?

No. I'm kind of tired today.

Today?

You're always tired lately when I ask you.

Do you take issue with me being tired now? - No.

I just don't feel like sitting around here every evening.

I,d like to go out, to the cinema, whatever.

Like we did with Max.

I just want some peace.

Is this a flatshare or what?

Don't go breaking my halls now.

I'm going for a stroll. - Have fun.

Thanks.

Listen.

You think we could postpone the trip to the seaside?

We could also leave it altogether. It's only our only holiday all year.

I...

I've just got a lot on right now.

No, Andreas. Then it'll he a had time for me.

What else? I'm in a hurry.

You think. I'm not your housewife. - Hey!

I have the feeling you're only ever at your workshop.

I don't really know what to do anymore.

Am I doing something wrong? What's the matter?

Paranoid? - I just want to know...

You think I'm having an affair or what? - Just talk to me again, OK?

From person to person. Not just workshop and bed.

When I get home...

Yeah, perhaps you just need to...

Stay where you are!

You think I understand you?

We have one holiday a year together. Your words, remember?

To relax.

But what do you do? Hag the whole time.

I'm cold, Andreas. I just want to go home and chill out.

Again. if you don't like it... The weather's great.

And we,re together. That's what matters.

That's what you wanted.

And we could've stayed inside together. - Then what?

Watch TV or what?

I'm going for a swim.

Are you nuts? - What do you mean?

Quit this bullshit. - Being spontaneous...

Quit this hull... - Let go of me!

That better, is it?

Yes.

Feel good now?

Go home. - I am.

Go watch TV.

I think we should head home tomorrow.

Do whatever you want.

13 YEARS EARLIER

Tickets for two - Thats 10 euro.

Thank you!

Still the support hand, right? - Yes

Thanks again for the CD.

I didn't think we'd ever get together.

It's about time.

Hey.

Close your eyes.

Open them.

What's that? - Feel it.

A chestnut.

I love you.

There's something I have to tell you.

There's another man in my life.

You unromantic old dog.

Don't you believe me?

Martin, it's true.

Are you taking the piss?

But he's not competition for you.

I'm very...

reassured.

I don't believe a word.

You should.

You'll meet him on the way hack. - Sure.

Bullshit. - Really.

Sure.

Who's this?

Who's what? - Here.

That's Stefanie.

Stefanie.

Anyone else I need to meet, or is that everyone now?

What's this?

Press here? - Nope.

Here? - Yep.

Here, you'd better do it.

Love you too.

Say it again.

You're not going to pray, are you?

No.

What are you smirking at?

The happy couple met in November,

when Andreas still had an outrageous hairdo,

hut a lovely smile.

And they decided to remain together,

for the rest of their lives.

You may now kiss the groom.

You missed a hit.

Do you, Andreas, take Martin Winter to he your lawfully wedded husband,

to have and to hold from this day forward, bla bla bla,

say "I do."

Nope.

Then there'll he no more joining in union again today.

I'm sure we can find a corner somewhere if that's what you're worried about.

You perve.

Have you ever done it in a church?

Then say "I do".

You want me just for yourself? - Of course.

I do.

Me too.

We're allowed to... now that we're married.

Let's wait for the honeymoon.

No way.

Hey, sweetie. - Hey, Dad.

Look who I brought with me. - Martin?

I'll get in the hack then.

You'll get in now. Right you are.

You're very cheeky to your friend.

Ob well,

he'll cope.

I think so too.

Everything OK at school? - Yes.

Now we're going to have a nice few days together.

Yep.

What about your friend?

He's coming too.

I can hear something.

I can hear something.

And he's not alone.

Come out from there.

Hungry!

Hungry!

Ob no, Mr. Bunny Rabbit is starving.

And what's this? No socks!

Good morning, my darling.

Run and get your socks on, OK? - Yep.

Then we'll have breakfast. Pancakes? - Yes.

Cool.

Max?

We'll let Martin sleep a hit longer, OK?

No?

On the boat maybe? - No!

A diving hoard's good for swimming.

Another diver for the boat.

A diver with no hair.

Yes?

Great.

We're building a beach and the sea.

We're having a lazy day today.

It's our turn!

Nope, hut we will do it later.

Right.

Why?

No.

One second.

Doesn't sound good.

I wish they would patch things up. - That'd he good, huh?

I don't think it's a big argument.

Arguments are stupid.

Arguments are stupid. - Arguments are stupid, totally.

But I'm sure they,ll make up. - For sure.

And then they'll get hack together.

Where is he?

He is biding.

What's up?

How long have you been standing there? - Not long.

I just popped out from the shop. Thought I'd bring you something.

Yummy, huh? - Yeah.

I've let Max show you the church tower afterwards.

Why does it have to he a tower?

Sorry, it's Max's favorite tower. - very funny, I'm scared of heights.

Seriously? - Yes.

It's not funny. Really.

Max will look after you. OK?

And you can carry me down. I'll call you.

But you won't have any signal.

Come on. - Yeah, I'm coming.

Come on, let's go outside.

Martin!

Where are you, Martin?

I'm coming.

Come! - I am.

Or are you a scaredy-cat? - No.

Come, Martin.

I want to show you your house.

There!

Is that our house?

Shall we take a photo?

Let me! - Stick your tongue out.

You want to take one? - Yep.

But of the view. - Of the view?

So you can always scare yourself. - Very nice of you, thanks!

Where do I press?

That button.

First of all...

Over here.

There. - Ouch!

Until you can't wind any further, then you can press it again.

We can take it straight to the photo shop,

and have a look at the photos this evening.

And show Dad. - Come!

Sound like a plan? - Now!

Are we going? - We're going down.

Scaredy-cat, scaredy-cat!

How was your day?

Everything OK?

What's wrong?

What's wrong?

Stefanie.

What about Stefanie?

Where's Max?

Will you help me?

Will you help me with him?

Yes.

We'll he fine. OK?

I love you.

Thank you.

Thanks.

I'm just going to nip upstairs.

I'll he right up. - OK.

9 YEARS LATER

I've been waiting for you. - Yeah...

For quite a while.

Did you sniff too much glue today?

I fell asleep in front of the oven,

then I felt really weird,

and then really hot, in the truest sense.

My jacket suits you.

Sawdust!

How have you managed to talk me around?

Known how!

He's blind drunk. - Yeah.

Are you gonna go check on him? - No.

You think he heard us?

He went straight to bed.

Dad?

It's always the same story.

What do you mean ',huh"? - You know.

You shut my computer down. - Just think of others.

Martin? - Yeah?

Could you come here? - Yes.

Christa?

Is this for real? - Yes.

It's just one possibility.

I don't know what...

to say, it's...

It's an opportunity.

You've lost your mind.

What's going on here?

Are you the accountant now as well?

But that's good.

Yes.

I guess.

What, doesn't she trust you? - She does.

Too much.

But it's what you wanted.

Nope.

I did, hut...

Read this.

A purchase contract.

What if you don't buy it?

The shop closes.

Ob no.

Hello. - Hello, Mrs. Hoffmann.

Come in. - Thank you.

Thanks. - You're welcome.

Right.

Here I have the balance sheets for the last three years.

And here are all the other documents and invoices.

Did you also bring a business concept?

I haven't drafted a concept as such.

First I wanted to find out exactly what I'd need.

OK, let me have a quick look.

It's not going to he easy in your current situation.

Why not?

Your partner is still repaying a loan.

But there is your savings account.

What savings account is that?

It's in your partner's name.

I'm really sorry.

The shop was packed and they only bad one checkout open.

I went to the hank.

That's why you look like death? - You have savings?

I... - How much?

Are you lying to my face now or what?

What a total bastard.

What's with the fucking secrecy?

I worry about Max's school trips and you have fucking savings?

How much is in there?

Great, Madrid. So what?

What the hell is this?

I saved some cash, so we could go away for two weeks,

or even five or six weeks.

Whenever we can, just the two of us.

I thought... it's what you wanted.

Why are you knocking?

I didn't know what you were talking about.

Max, if I say dinner's at eight, then you come at eight, OK?

I was also too late, hut it's not right.

Ob, and tonight is film night. Classics.

How's Andreas?

Is the workshop doing alright?

Not great at the moment.

You wouldn't he starting from scratch. - Yeah.

Have you been sleeping?

Nope.

Just dozing.

Something wrong?

Nope.

Have you sent anything off?

I didn't get round to it, Andreas.

I've been sending application after application.

Nothing hut rejections.

Or no response at all.

It's so frustrating.

Shall we go out?

No.

Alright then.

What's wrong? Worn out already?

Leave me a sec.

Everything OK?

Yes.

I had to think of Sophie and Viktor just then.

They'll make up again.

They're always the same:

they rip each other to pieces, then everything's hunky-dory again.

If it's that simple, why do we always argue?

It must he strange for Max.

You think he suspects something's up?

He recently asked me if we're still together.

What?

Why didn't you tell me?

He just said it...

I don't get you, Andreas. Seriously.

What?

Andreas?

How's that draft design going?

I'll get a little compensation.

What?

Idiots!

It's not so had.

Andreas?

I think you should really have a think

about whether you've reached the point.

What point is that?

There is no point.

But there has to he.

I'm never going to give the workshop up.

So the workshop is more important to you than me?

What's happened?

Leave me alone, OK?

Is it my fault?

What have I done? Just tell me.

When did you last send an application?

Leave me alone.

"Leave me alone, leave me alone.',

Disgusting!

It stinks in here, for fuck's sake.

I suggest you write it down whenever you send one,

then at least you'll know what you've achieved.

Or better what you haven't.

You could train in something else? Or study?

Let's have a look at universities.

Leave me alone, damn it!

Excuse me?

You saw the doctor speak to Mr. Winter. - I'm sorry.

I've heard nothing for hours now.

I'm afraid we don't know anything yet either.

They are several possible causes.

Stress,

heart problems, multiple sclerosis.

We'll have test results tomorrow.

The head doctor will tell you more.

Don't worry.

Thank you.

Hey. - Hey.

Love you, big man.

I'll give you a ring then, OK?

Dad!

All good.

5 YEARS LATER

Will you give me a hand with this? - Sure.

You can take it if you want.

If I need it...

No, you keep it.

I'm really happy you're here.

You look tired.

Yeah?

I worked late yesterday.

It's just quieter at night, I can concentrate better.

It's about Dad, right?

Why?

I come home and...

I practically only ever see you at the workshop.

You've never worked so late. What's wrong?

And look at this place, it's not good.

That's just how it is right now.

How is he?

I know he has a new boyfriend.

So you do speak to each other.

We sometimes speak on the phone.

Aren't you going to sit down with me?

Do you often speak to Martin?

It's really nice to he hack here.

Did it take you long? - Three hours.

You?

Six.

You got dressed up especially?

Look who's talking.

I always look like this. - Right.

Martin? - Yes?

These are them? - Yep!

Max...

We took that when you were in hospital.

We looked for ages.

Yes, for you.

Ah, that was on there. - Yep.

Are you happy?

I haven't been asked that for ages.

Max is totally loyal by the way, he never tells me about your love life.

Good.

It's none of your business.

Speaking of which...

In case you are interested,

we fall asleep together, talk a little.

That's the current state of affairs.

Ob God.

It was freezing.

Is that one at the workshop?

Baltic Sea... Baltic Sea...

How many times we were there.

Have you been hack here at all?

You have? - Yep.

Once.

With Jens?

Alone.

Me too.

When were you here?

The week before Christmas.

You?

I was here over Christmas.

When you left...

When I came hack to an empty house...

That moment was awful.

That could've been the stupidest decision we ever made.

I'll sleep on the sofa, yeah?

You don't have to.

Sure? - Yeah, we're old enough.

Right...

Good night.

Good night.

Come here.

With the building?

Right...

Right...

Thanks for coming.
