Original subtitles

Oh, it’s you.

- Yes, Hi.

Thanks for coming so quickly.

Come on in.

Who is missing?

My friend Ferdi.

When did he go missing? When did you see him last?

Two days ago.

Is it possible that he is not picking up, because he doesn’t want to?

Have you told him yet?

No. I didn’t have a chance yet.

But is there nothing you can, like – catch him or something?

Catch him?

Yes.

I wouldn’t worry, if I were you.

As long as we don’t know anything, I would always assume that nothing happened.

But you’ll have to tell him the truth at some point.

Okay.

Another thing, this is a home for the blind, isn't it?

Yes, correct.

And why do you live here?

Umm, err .. that kinda happened.

Okay.

Would you like a beer or something?

Well. – Yes.

That you are not blind...

...you have to tell him.

Two months earlier

Do you – I am sorry -

Do you want to go with me?

Hey.

Hello, this is Jona.

Cecile?

Can I – I am in Berlin right now.

Do you want to come in?

We haven’t seen each other for a while.

Why are you here, all of a sudden?

Ok, listen up now.

This kind of attitude, I find unacceptable.

And like this, you won’t make it in life.

There are people on this planet who would be very happy if they could graduate…

...if they could go to school.

Do you feel like dancing?

Oh god.

Good morning, good morning, good morning sunshine! (singing )

C’mon brother, get up!

Thanks.

You’re welcome!

Stop it!

I think I fucked up my graduation.

Oh shit.

German was on Friday, Math on Saturday.

And today is?

English.

I'm just not in the mood.

School is just bullshit anyway, nobody needs it.

C’mon, show me what you got.

Noooo.

Now you’re gonna make me coffee or I’ll break your nose.

You can forget that like your moma's birthday!

Can I stay a few more days?

Yes, sure, no problem.

Really cute, even got a child seat.

Yes, but I don't go shopping with it.

No? – No, it’s way too small!

Well, I would go shopping with it.

But nothing fits in there.

I would go shopping like this.

Really good.

Your mom is light blue.

You are light blue.

Nope, your mom.

Yes you are! You are wearing a blue dress.

Nope.

”Dark red. Ruby red.”

Oh hot! – really beautiful.

“Dark brown“

It’s not always reliable but sufficient!

So, you sometimes wear grey, even though you... want to dress in blue?

I don't give a fuck, as long as it fits.

I love this coat! But it’s not real fur.

Real fur is much more expensive and aside from that,

an animal would have had to die for it.

“Llight grey.“ “Beige.“

Is that correct?

Yup. – Good.

“Dark mahagony brown“.

“Pale grey – brown – with a hint of pink“

You stay right here, pal.

Franz, come on over! We got the rat.

Yes, ok, see you soon. Whatcha doing here.

Hey look here, bunny. Don't you like carrots!?

Come in.

Kitchen.

Dominik! Moritz!

This is Ferdinand, your new roommate.

I thought he was coming tomorrow.

Hello. – Hi.

Nice to meet you.

This will be your room, then.

Thanks. Thank you.

Is this the type of therapy during which you get to talk more or me?

Depends. It really depends.

Do you feel I talk too much?

No, I am just asking. I'm not sure.

Have you been through many therapies?

Yes. This is definitely not my first therapy.

And can you tell me when you went to your first therapy?

Now we are going way back into the past.

So, you already went to therapy as a child?

I was in the past, as a child.

You didn’t fit into the baby hatch?

Right. So, I wasn’t found in the baby hatch, but – next to it.

Next to it?

I was given to foster parents.

- and yeah, lost them when I was six. They died in a car crash.

They found me at a highway rest stop.

I don’t understand the connection here.

Did they drive off without you? I don’t understand now.

Apparently, I saw my parents the last time at a highway rest stop.

I was told then they died in a car crash.

No, that was a forced institutionalization.

Can you describe what this new life should look like?

You say, you want to improve your interaction with people.

I would like to be able to speak to people

without observing myself all the time.

Without the insecurity.

I just want – to learn how – to approach people.

So, personally, it’s really important that we do not just have a convenience deal here.

Somehow, I want to have a kind of friendship with my flatmate.

That’s why it’s so difficult, because you won’t know within 5 minutes:

- are we gonna be friends or not... Okay, so, I - yeah.

And, have you lived in a flatmate situation before? – Yes.

Okay. In how many?

Two.

And how many people in each?

Four.

Ok, so with you in each flat four people?

No, together four.

Okay, so you always lived together with two other people. - Together three.

Ok, so just like here, actually. It’s kinda your third three-flatmate situation. - Exactly.

To me, it’s really important

that this is not going to become a convenience deal, because -

We love to cook.

Yes, right, right. We do!

You love to cook as well?

Yes, I also love to cook!

Oh, great!

So how is your tidiness?

My magic?

Tidiness!

I dropped out of school. Cause of Math.

If we were to decide against you – cause they’re also my flatmates.

Yes? Why didn’t it work out?

I didn’t clean properly.

To me, it’s really important that this is not going to become a convenience deal, because -

What are you up to?

I study.

Slavic.

If possible, I’d love to move in right away.

Oh. Okay.

Regardless, I would really like to have a beer with you sometimes.

Yo.

I’ll give you a call. You know where the door is?

Yes, right were I got in. – Exactly.

But I need a place.

There is a place available above mine!

But, only people who are blind can live there.

You just have to pretend you’re blind.

I can’t just pretend to be blind.

Of course you can pretend to be blind.

No, this is an A, this is an L and that an S.

And I just read with my fingers?

With your index finger.

Can you read like this?

What? No!

Just put your hand on it. There's so much written there.

Alright, Settings, Operating Assistance and then: voice over: on.

“Stroke with the finger up or down“ - What did she say?!

I can’t work with this voice.

”Thirtythree percent.”

Oh. This is a wall.

No, this is wrong.

You have to do it like this. Only this way, you can feel the vibration.

So, I would recommend you, wait -

-The thumb.. - The thumb? - Yes, the thumb -

Excuse me! – Yes?

I am looking for the janitor’s office. There is an apartment available?

No, it's already rented unfortunately. - Oh ok, I had an appointment about it!?

It just got rented … out today.

That’s a bit unfortunate. - Ok, then. Thank you.

Can I please get the apartment?

Well... You don’t have a lease contract.

But I am blind.

Yes, indeed. But the process has to be all in order, so -

So if you could give me the keys now, I will give you the paperwork later.

If someone comes from the administration and somehow -

It’s quite hot in here, or not?

So, the apartment was just vacated.

And, there I have found this horn.

Like a trumped, but without knobs.

Okay.

Would you like to blow on it?

But you need to give me the paperwork soon.

Everyday we hear: ”I lived in the woods...

I didn’t know any structure.”

That’s frustrating!

I think it’s disgusting, in the morning I have a nervous stomach.

And if I go to the bathroom – that’s all I care about.

That I don’t see any shit in the toilet.

The whole time, I am being reduced to the topic of feces.

Now we are starting again talking about feces...

As if I wasn't doing anything except shitting!

What‘s bothering you now?

What do you mean, what’s not happening? Something is happening. - What’s bothering you?

What does this have to do with anything?

We make suggestions and there is nothing coming from you.

Why do I have to answer the question about what is not happening here.

There is obviously happening some sort of discussion ...

You are not listening. She is asking what is bothering you.

The whole time, I get the feeling, that I am the enemy here.

... that I am an intruder.

Don’t you realize how everyone here wants to support you?

Especially these two.

And how you keep saying: “You are against me.“

At this point – I would like to apologize.

I have read too much into it and that’s one of my tendencies.

... I realized this in therapy.

Did you understand him. Can you accept it like this?

Well, yeah. Yes. Yes. I hear a "no" in the "yes".

Please try to hear the ”Yes”.

Yes, but Renée tell me, that in ...

the “Yes“ a “No“ is hidden.

No, I don’t hear a “No“.

But I hear a “No“.

You hear a “No”.

You are saying “No“ right now!

Yes, I can’t hear a “No“

Yes, but the whole time you are saying ”No“, Renée. He is right about that.

I don’t hear a “No”

So, in the beginning we said “we were going to clear this up“ and now you are just talking negativity.

I don’t hear a “no“. You supported him, right?

Isn't that right?

You do want to support him?

But, in the end, all that matters is to stick with this fucking plan.

I want this as well. I want to get there, too.

I think I will be able to do it, I just feel I would need…

... a little more patience, some more consideration because I feel extremely under pressure.

And what I would like to add, while we are on this subject...

... the threat from Moa, next time to place my shit…

... onto my pillow – which didn’t happen, but -

... this is not what I imagine, when it comes to being

accepted in a community.

Wait a minute.

Can I talk to you for a sec?

Right now I am urgently looking for a girlfriend, do you -

- do you have a boyfriend?

No, but -

Ok, so I really need a girlfriend.

Okay and – for what?

For a relationship.

You have pretty eyes. Your hair is beautiful.

And your knees and shoulders and I also like…

... your, there .. outlining .. your, your...

Bye!!

“I like.“ “I like.”

Oh, man.

What's going on?

The dog ran against a light poll again. Dumb beast.

Let me see.

You wanna sit down?

He needs to go to dog training.

For repair! No really.

He is always doing something. He’s broken.

Quite swollen. Should I get you some ice cubes?

Yes, please.

And while you are at it, can you drop him off at the dog training?

Yes.

I think I have a concussion

It’s not going to be this bad.

Just a bump.

Just a bump?

It is not that big.

Willi, here. Come here, Willi!

Please move on.

I can’t, my dog is on strike.

I have to get him to training.

Can you help me?

I am busy, actually.

I don’t know the way by myself.

So, it would be very kind, if you could leave now, I

I can’t, unfortunately.

What’s going on with your dog?

He doesn’t function properly, he is broken.

Ah well, whatever.

Are you having a cold?

Yes.

Sad cold?

How blind are you, actually?

Really blind.

You mean you can’t see me?

Only hear you.

Only hear me?

Only hear and feel.

I am Ferdi.

I am Jona.

You live around here?

I live at Noah, assisted living.

Ok, now, pay attention, here it is.

Okay.

Ok, I can’t get any closer.

Why is that?

Listen. You simply go straight ahead

and then you will be in there.

This is the seeing-eye dog of my cousin Cecile.

But the dogs name is Cecile?

No, the dog’s name is Cecile, err Willi.

Willi!

And sit!

Well, I don’t know now, if you should be out on the street with that at all -

- Now, he sits down. A bit delayed.

Well, individual spare parts would work.

This part in the front can be replaced.

Do we still have those?

Yes, it works, you won’t even notice.

It's possible that it will be a different color – Right.

But won't that look completely stupid?

Didn’t you say your cousin was blind?

That’s right.

Well, then she won't see what it looks like, right?

I was just thinking about the curtains.

Ok, then – we will keep him here for now.

Bye.

Yes. Who is this?

The janitor.

I'll make it short: When do we get the paperwork?

They still need a little time...

I do need them of course, urgently.

Yes – Ok, then…

... I will get on my way again. Have a nice day.

Hello. – Hello.

I am Jona.

I like to see Ferdi.

Ferdinand!

Ferdi!

Visitor!

Hello. I am Dodo.

Hello.

Ferdinand, you have a visitor!

I’ll have a look.

Are you… here?

Hello Ferdi.

Are you ok?

Do you want to go for a walk?

Sure.

Another step. Four to go.

You are managing very well.

Yes, somehow you have to manage, or not?

And, what else are you doing?

Right now, I live in assisted living.

For me, it’s like a new orientation phase, a new beginning after some difficult years.

With me, my whole life has been difficult.

Because I am blind.

Yes, you are probably right.

He has… black hair.

Smiles very cute.

Define: very cute.

The front teeth are always showing somehow.

He has crocked teeth?

No. A little bit. Maybe.

I understand.

Protruding teeth.

And what does it mean “he's good looking“?

It’s like, when you eat something that tastes really good.

Chips!

Well.. yeah.

How does it work when you are blind and you want to know what someone looks like?

When I shake someone’s hand I touch their face.

Like this.

Can I shake your hand?

Rather not.

Why not?

Come here.

Can I also touch your face?

No.

But you are allowed to touch my face?

But you can see.

So, what is your resume?

You have a face.

I like your ways.

I like your face.

How are you today?

Good.

That’s good.

I met a young woman.

Okay.

But Jona can’t see you?

No, that’s what I mean. She is blind, she can’t see me.

I also didn’t get that right away...

but because she is blind, consequently, she can’t see me.

Why is this good for you?

Because she is blind I can relax differently.

I can be around her in a way I can’t with other people.

That's very nice that you have experienced this now.

Yes. This is, what I wanted to talk about.

... that I am very happy.

I have to block this somehow; do you know how to block numbers?

Who is this?

It’s my mother.

I just packed my stuff and left.

Tell me, we are seeing each other more often now, right?

We are seeing each other more often now, right?

No, that was a question for you. We are seeing each other more often now, right?

If you would like that. I would be happy to.

Of course we are!

“Your mother has blocked your account.“

I would like to sell this car.

How much would you give me for it?

The car is registered in your name, I assume?

Yes.

Do you have the registration with you?

I would give it to you later. First, I just need the money.

Well ...

Look! Just as new.

Touch the tires.

Steering wheel, brakes.

Trunk.

Really good. Exhaust pipe is still there as well.

Well, what can I say?

Fuel cap is also present, yes.

But you can’t sell a car without papers.

It’s like a dog without an owner. Doesn’t work.

The dog can’t just go into a store and -

Yes, but you do fuck a woman without marrying her.

Yes, but I don’t buy her.

How much without papers? Cash on hand.

Young lady, without papers this car is as valuable as this rag here.

It is a really nice rag though, look at it.

Cotton. Incredible evenly woven fabric.

I'm somehow not in the mood.

Oh man. – No, I don’t want to. – What’s going on?

The whole time, I was looking for a job and It sucks.

You could do my dream job!

Touching boobs.

It really exists!

For cancer prevention?

Yes. It’s a real job, it's called

”medical touch examination”

Cancer forms in the breasts, that's where the tumors are.

And with your super-sense of touch, you can detect the tumors.

Enough, ladies! You are here at a doctor’s office. It's enough!

Yes, I think there is something.

Where? What?

Yes, on the right. Breast cancer.

I don’t think this job will work out for you.

Do you also want to pet him?

Can we move on?

No.

We’ll find a job for you.

Why isn’t she already in Berlin? She is playing tomorrow.

It's all good. - I am not afraid.

Why is she calling me?

And then she asks me if we pay the flight?

Of course we pay the flight.

What "relax"? She is supposed to be here tomorrow!

I gave her my number.

Here, I brought along Jona.

Hi, I am Björn. – Hello Jona.

So this is the blind one or what?

She is a friend of mine.

Damn Ferdi. Just leave us alone for a sec.

Go. Please. Leave for a moment.

You’re kidding, right? – Don’t take it personally. Thanks.

What is your name again?

Jona.

Ok, Jona. So Freddy apparently told you, you can work here in the office?

... probably better than Olli.

What? -Ferdi - Yes, Ferdi.

Are we ready? Ok, then let’s create an event.

And you, don’t laugh. Get ready!. I want to see who is faster.

New Wave. June 15. Admission 10 Euro.

First drink free of charge.

What kind of “honk“ are you?

I am just waiting here. – Aren’t you that Freddy?

Ferdi.

Jona is having a job interview

with Björn.

Yeah... Interesting. Don’t you want to wait outside?

I am already outside. They sent me out of the...

Why are you laughing? Open your thing!

Dude, do you see how fast she is? Faster than you.

But it's all there. - Whatever, she is just as fast. Or even faster than you.

Do you want to give out shots, or something?

Sorry?

Do we wanna do shots? – And then she even has ideas.

Seriously, get a haircut. Your curls are mixing you head up all over the place.

Do we have a sponsor?

Do we have a sponsor? He doesn’t know! She would know!

Do we have to build new entrances

and maybe a wheelchair ramp?

No, the blind kind of bring their own barrier freedom with them automatically.

Okay. And something for you? A towel rack.

Are you kidding me?

Chill out for a moment.

Fuck off. Stack some boxes or do something else.

You are so getting on my nerves.

Now to you.

What’s up with the undertone?

No, I'm just wondering.. I thought you were blacklisted.

I do, but this is one of those “Björn blacklistings”

He said, I should keep coming back.

You’re hired.

By the way, do you smoke? – Yes.

Do you want a cigarette? – Yes, love to.

Put in my mouth. Fire.

I am not really blacklisted. He just told everyone that I am blacklisted

to create certain mood with the Bar-crew. So they have someone to pick on. That was me.

Aside, I helped a little stacking beer boxes.

I haven’t been around for a while, but I am not blacklisted.

I am something like the club mascot.

Pay and stuff: what did you make so far?

What do you want to pay?

Maybe 4 Euro?

Yes.

I am doing better now. I am in therapy. I have a place a again.

It’s assisted living. But I am doing good. And I am able to defend myself again.

Let’s make that 5 – Yes, 5 is good.

And 6? – Sure, also Ok.

8.50? – No.

Problem is, I am the boss and I can decide how much you earn.

Shake on it, ok? – All the best. See ya.

The sun is setting right now. – Really?

It’s really beautiful.

Now it’s dark?

No, it's not this instant. There is a transition.

Actually, the sun just went down, but -

... we see the sun 8 and a half minutes delayed.

Eight and a half?

It’s because, the lightspeed of light

is quite slow...

...well, it’s the fastest thing there is, but -

Did I explain this well, or not? – Yes.

But maybe it’s silly to always talk about what I am looking at.

I don’t know, you’ll have to tell me.

...I didn’t have a lot of contact with blind people so far...

... I am not sure how to act properly.

But I just wanted to say: Yea, I like you.

I am going to the loo real quick and I'll be right back, yes?

Is that ok?

Okay?

Okay.

I have a new little friend with me.

You can’t see him. He is very small, like one centimeter.

He is green and is a small, green grasshopper.

Now it .. Oops! Now it jumped on the sweat-shirt.

Do you want to do something, are you bored?

No.

What are you doing?

I am looking for the grasshopper.

Are you searching for the grasshopper?

It probably jumped on me,

because I am wearing very contrasting colors.

Now the sun has set.

Come on, let’s go, ok?

Are you tired?

I should go home, soon. I’m not feeling well.

Is everything ok with you? What are you doing?

I want the sun to rise again.

Jona, I can’t do this kind of stuff.

Willi. Give me a kiss.

I want a kiss. Come on.

OK, I will kiss you then.

And now all cool again...

We didn’t kiss each other. No one knows. I won’t tell anyone.

Why do you want to apply for a disability card?

I just believe, this would help me to get through life.

And what type of disability are we talking about?

Obviously, I would say that I deserve a card claiming full disability.

With all the psychological illness, that I'm bringing to the table.

I can't say I've noticed that.

Because I've never met a guy, who runs off, when you want to kiss him.

But I am coming back every time.

I just suffer from fear commitment, fear of closeness.

Fiddlesticks!

Now, fiddlesticks is not a real argument.

It is.

No, it doesn’t even have content.

Why are you running off, when we kiss each other? You like me.

I am also not sure if kissing is a good idea.

Why not a good idea?

I think it is the best idea, I had in a long time.

I do want it as well.

I am not trying to justify my behavior.

But, when I run away, I am actually running towards you.

Not really. In fact, you are running away. Geographically, you are distancing yourself.

Yes, but the earth is round.

Are we still talking about this forest-boy?

Ferdi.

And you are not seeing each other?

Well. No. Yes. I am not sure. What does it mean "seeing each other?"

Cecile? What does it mean "seeing each other?"

Seeing each other, means that you love and support each other for better or for worse.

... to be faithful to each other.

And if, for example one doesn’t want to watch TV -

- that you respect the other.

What about sex?

What about it?

Oh, good, you are still here. We need you upstairs

What?

Stamping. We need you upstairs. Do not put your coat on.

No clock out yet. Come on, take it off.

I don’t even know what I am supposed to do.

Frank, he is a bouncer.

You are next to him und just stamp, stamp, stamp.

Do you need this upstairs? – Yes.

I don’t even know how with the hands -

Frank will show you everything.

Jona from the office will help you at the evening counter.

Jona from the office is blind. - I know, last time I promised

you are done doing counter. - What are you doing?

I'm practicing.

See? She already does it like a pro.

High five, everyone.

I think we have a new bouncer.

Awesome!

Listen, I have to tell you something.

I have a blind bouncer now. Blind, man! Yes, man!

What? No idea. One day she showed up with this weird retard

and then I said: “sure, you can work here.”

But listen, today I said: “I need someone at the door”

Ey, the club. Is. Packed!

No, fucking packed, man!

For three months I hadn't had such a full house.

No, dude ... she just stands there and people are coming one after the other

and she touches them. Yes, man! In their face, man!

Bam, bam, bam, she touches them and fondles them a little, it’s kinda erotic, man.

Yes, she’s pretty, man!

Fucked what?

Haha, no!

Watch out for the steps.

Thanks. See you tomorrow.

Bye – Bye.

Close your eyes for a moment. Can you hear them?

Blind people have much more sensible, I mean more sensible – right?

A bicycle just passed by.

You can hear that?

Yes, you can hear the pedals.

Blind people have such good ears, right? Show me your ears.

Let’s go to your place.

Why?

Alright, I’ll bring you home now.

Okay.

To the blind people home.

Yes.

To my place.

Let’s go to my place.

Deal.

We are going to my place. – Okay.

So, you are going to my place and I will go to your’s.

No.

Ok, so one of us has no idea what’s happening right now.

Everything is going well with you guys, or what?

I wanted to ask you something, because Jona wants to sleep with me.

... and I’m like...- Oh NOOOO.

Can you please be serious for a moment?

You should tell her, that she is very pretty...

... touch her breast. You should -

- kiss her mamasita.

But her mom is not there, actually.

In her Va Jay Jay.

And then?

What do you mean then? Then you tell her that it is beautiful.

Is there are special maneuver?

So you actually want to know something mechanical from me?

Or more like psychologically?

I just want to do it right.

Have you never had sex before?

Yes, but it’ was a long time ago and it wasn’t very good.

Which taboo zones?

The intimate area.

What you are supposed to do there? Give kisses.

So, you are going to get in between her legs…

… are you afraid of it?

I am afraid to make a mistake, I am afraid to break something in her.

Well, then try it first with someone else.

Would you practice with me?

I don’t think so.

Just ask Björn.

But he is not a girl.

So what?

Jona wants to have sex with me all the time.

...one kiss is already too much for me.

I also don’t really enjoy kissing.

I also don’t know if this would be appropriate in this situation.

Actually, I’d like to keep sex out of this relationship.

Ok, Mr. Kralik, but this is no reason

to put on a face the whole time.

Now pull yourself together.

What? But I am not putting on a face.

You are totally feeling sorry for yourself.

This my normal... feeling sorry for myself?

I just think it would help you

if you would feel less sorry for yourself.

And not to project it outwardly, like “I am so miserable”

So what am I supposed to do then?

That’s what I mean…

What do you think you could do,

to better dedicate yourself to this topic?

It’s constantly present and I need more time.

Just try it out.

Maybe it’s good. And, in life you can’t control everything.

Sometimes, you just have to let go and then it happens.

And whatever happens, is either right or wrong.

Then you have to deal with the consequences.

Yeah, right.

I can only support this.

One sec. Is this Ferdi or Ms. Schopf clapping?

It’s Ms. Schopf clapping.

Could you please do that again using the correct chair, because it confuses me.

Want me to guide you in?

Yes, guide us.

Come closer! I’ll take you!

Come on!

I'm a Steamboat!

Everything ok, Björn?

I am always ok ... Freddy!

What all of a sudden happened to the mood, here?

It’s really nice here!

Cecile is my new best friend. My new best friend.

I'm leaving without you, wankers!

I think, you will be driving.

I can’t drive.

I can drive, then.

I don’t have a driver’s license.

You will be driving this fucking car. I don’t care, let's go!

Yes, he is driving. Ferdi is doing really well..

Here, I’ll hand you the cane.

There is a surprise coming.

What could it be?

“Stale brown.”

“Black.“ , “Dark brown.“ “Dark brown.“

“Grey-ish.“

“Dull raspberry red“

Should we go outside?

It's ok.

Did you sleep here?

Yes.

Do you not have many girls visiting?

No, no, somehow…

Where did you meet each other?

Through my dog.

Do you have a seeing eye dog?

The dog of my cousin, she is also blind.

She is blind as well?

Yes.

Blind, too – is this in your family or something? Heredetary?

Exactly, our mother was blind as well.

We are a large blind family.

Do you want Ferdi to be blind as well?

Hi. – Hi.

Here you are. - Hi

Did you slepp well? – Yup.

Want to go for a walk?

Ok, then. We‘ll catch up later.

See ya boys.

Yes, I am the boy-friend of the tenant… of Jona.

Okay.

It appears there is some pressure regarding the papers.

Yes.

Because normally, the papers have to be there before a tenant moves into the apartment.

That’s why I thought, I should speak with you.

Because it puts a lot of pressure on Jona...

... I think maybe you could show a bit more goodwill.

What do you mean by goodwill?

Well, that you don't give her so much pressure.

Well, I gave her a deadline! I told her -

That’s exactly what I mean!

Maybe no deadline or a little less pressure

because I think that this paper thing is not that urgent.

No, it is urgent.

Yes.

Because then I will be in trouble.

What is this now?

Do you think it helps your girlfriend when you are going on a rampage here?

I think you understood me.

Hello.

How are you doing?

Hello?

Hello?

Somebody here?

Oh, my apologies, sorry everything is fine.

Jona, can you have a look? – Yes.

Hello, it’s me, the janit- , Mr. Wagen

Hello Mr. Wagen.

I just wanted to let you know, that I spoke to management…

…and there is no problem with the papers.

You can take as much time as you like.

I just wanted to let you know.

I am happy to hear that.

Other than that are you happy here in the building. Everything ok?

Yes, I really like it.

No complaints?

Well, in the basement, the dryer is not working.

And when I was doing the laundry, the washer made a funny click sound.

Like click, click, click. And I did know where that came from.

Oh ok, I’ll have to check on this then.

Would you like to come in to have some spaghetti?

Actually, I still have to do some work. I have my cleaning stuff with me.

Actually, you can’t really decline such an offer.

No. I probably can’t.

Not so much, thanks.

Seriously, I am very happy that you are here.

Thanks for the invitation.

Anytime!

I agree, I think you are a great addition to our gang.

Cheers! - Cheers! - Cheers!

To a wonderful cohabitation here!

You can be informal with me now. My name is Mr. Ferdi.

Hello Mr. Ferdi

Ms. Jona, hello.

My name is Holger.

Wouldn’t it be nice if I could see, too?

Well, yes, maybe – but you just can't.

... sometimes you just have to accept realities.

But sometimes miracles do happen, right?

Well, from a science perspective, there are no miracles.

Those would be unexpected events.

And how do you handle unexpected events?

Not very well.

You know, sometimes dreams like this can do more harm than good.

Harder.

As hard as you can. Even harder.

What am I supposed to do now?

Maybe you should tell Ferdi the truth...

... and you start all over again.

My finger is stuck in the bottle.

Eventually, you will have to tell him the truth. You can’t avoid it.

So, Ms. Duden. I am giving you my hand now. – Hello.

Actually, I was wondering if blindness can be over?

Temporary blindness? – Exactly.

Yes.

If, for example, one day I can see again. By chance.

Yes, of course we can examine this.

At what percentage is your current vision?

None.

Zero percent?! – Yes.

Then you will not be able to see again.

You are blind.

There is no connection to the brain. - But like suddenly?

No.

Never?

Nope.

Well, I do this for my boyfriend...

...because... we... met like this.

I was blind.

And – for him, I’d like to see again.

Open your mouth.

Ms. Duden, Let me summarize:

You are blind, your boyfriend is not.

You want equality.

Therefore you come to an eye doctor...

... to ask, if it is possible to maybe not be blind.

Well, that’s just bloody stupid!

What do you want from me?

You are blind.

I don’t know how I can explain this.

I can see.

You can see, okay.

Yes, I can see.

Ms. Duden! Now that’s – I mean...

But you were able to see before...

Yes.

So Ms. Duden. You met your boyfriend...

... and pretended to be blind.

And now you are caught in your lie.

Yes.

In the end, truth is always the ...

.. the healthiest option. I am telling you as a doctor.

I don’t have any more time now. It was nice meeting you.

Thank you.

And: don’t forget your cane.

Ms. Duden, this is ridiculous.

But this is how I came in here.

Can you please do me a favor?

Could you maybe leave without the cane...

... and just... cry? Out of happiness?

Okay.

Good day. Good day.

License and registration, please.

I don’t have it.. with me.

Step out of the car, please.

You have a license. How old are you?

20.

18.

I don’t know exactly.

Listen, the car is reported as stolen.

What? But, it’s my mother‘s.

This is the car of your mother?

Exactly.

And why was it reported stolen?

Because she is a stupid cunt.

Now, stop talking like this about your mother. You can’t do that.

But she is a stupid cunt!

Yes, but there are ... - Well, we have to confiscate the vehicle.

Yes, we will have to take it with us.

You can’t continue driving it. You can’t continue driving it.

Take that bag out of there! Would you like to come with us to the station?

Is this your cane?

Yes, it’s mine.

What are you doing with a blindman’s cane?

Listen, I don’t believe anything you say anymore.

Yes, I also don’t believe anything you say anymore.

Did you just try to eat this note?

Yes, she tried to.

No, I didn’t try.

You can keep that piece of paper.

Well, I told him I was blind and I am not blind at all.

That you are blind? – Yes....

I am not blind at all.

And I don’t think you are ugly.

Okay, yes. – Yes like this?

Yes, I got it.

Now, you should get a bus ticket and go home.

And then you tell Ferdi ....

Do you have money? – No.

Dodge the fare! – Dodge the fare. It's better that way.

Thanks!

Dietrich stays with me. He stays with me. And you leave!

You can put your hands down! That's not necessary. You don’t have to.

This was the first time I pulled my weapon. But I thought, I do it this time.

That was good. - I thought, in this situation it is maybe - No, it was good. Absolutely correct.

300 people. From where do I get these 300 people?

You are such a parasite!

You fucking piece of shit. You fucking jerk, what's the matter with you?

Want me to treat you like this?

Stay down.

It’s still my club. Fuck off.

I don’t give a shit.

Fuck off, Frank!

Come, let’s go.

Fuck you! Fuck you all.

Fuck yourself, I quit without notice!

You still owe me money you asshole.

Fuck your money.

Hey, Jona, everything ok?

What happened?

Everything is ok. This is just how things are done here.

I still have to do some stuff.

Good. Then do them!

Okay.

You know the way, right? – Yes.

Well, how’s it going? - Good. - What's up Brother, what's up?

All good, how about you?

I was just going to get me a bag of popcorn from the store for 1.50

Really? – Yes.

Tastes disgusting, but I am too lazy to make it myself.

Last time, I did, it somehow burned.

It went a little badly.

About this Björn, do you know him?

Know anything about him? - No.

Well, have you spoken with him yet?

No, I'm too shy.

Well, I do say ”Hi, how are you.“ But nothing more.

I think he is really cool.

I would just ask him about his hobbies, or something.

Thanks for your help, brotha!

OK, see ya.

Here. Down.

Down, down. 3,2,1 – Pull.

Well, does it tingle?

It burns, dude!

Yes, dude.

Like pepper – Very nice.

Yes. Wait a minute.

Well then look at me for once.

Ok, whatever ... you know...

Un, deux, trois.

Did you play with her, back in the days? With Jona.

No, I wasn’t allowed.

I was the only blind one and they didn’t want me to be part of the group

for some unknown reason.

I thought, Jona was blind from birth on.

She is not blind.

She just pretends.

Where to? – Fold it out...

Um ... surprise.

One more corner.

Alright. Now have look inside.

What?

Look. Look inside.

I am blind, how can I look.

Just do it. Look inside.

Look inside.

I can’t see.

For me. Look just one time.

Look. Down here.

Look here.

Now don’t be like that.

Look inside. I know you are not blind.

Why aren't you cross-eyed anymore all of a sudden?

Huh? Look at me with your lying eyes!!!

Look at me!!!

Please don’t tell Ferdi.

Don’t tell Ferdi?

Ok.

Hey, your secret stays with me.

From now on you will just clean the toilets, okay?

I wanted to talk to you.

Why? What’s going on with Jona?

Jona told me that she is only seeing you because

she is afraid you would otherwise kill yourself.

Do you understand?

I told her, she should tell you.

Apparently she didn’t.

I am so sorry. I am really sorry.

What are you doing here? - I don't know. I just wanted to see you.

Just go home.

Okay.

Why didn’t you call for such a long time?

Have I done anything?

No, everything is fine. You just have a crush on me.

Enjoy it. But there is nothing between us.

Forget it.

Okay.

“The person you are calling is not answering. Please leave a message.“

Hi Ferdi. This is Jona.

Where are you right now?

I am on my balcony.

Hi Ferdi. Too bad, you are not picking up. It’s Jona here.

I love you. Bye.

Do you think he could hurt himself?

Yes.

That’s of course a very important information. That's important.

You think he is... suicidal?

Yes, he is suicidal.

Hello.

I am so disappointed in you

What are you doing?

Wait. Just wait a sec!

I'm kicking you out!

I know you can see.

Oh my god!!

Ms. Duden.

Can I now see him? Please.

Well, no.

Yes, I want to see him now!

Well, yes. Ms. Sachs already told me that you are very upset.

But, you have to sit down now and first talk to me.

No.

Yes, please sit down.

I understand very well that you are so upset…

... I am also quite concerned about this situation.

I had a long conversation with Mr. Kralik and…

he also told me he doesn’t want to see you and

I am asking you to respect this wish.

You know, ultimately -

- ultimately, your presence is further cementing…

...his current lifestyle, and that unfortunately is...

- he won’t live for long like that.

And we wish him a long life.

Couldn’t you have just talked to me before?

I'm sorry. I didn’t want to go up on the roof without asking, but I thought...

If I ask you -

It’s not about going on the roof. It’s about jumping down from there.

Oh... that's what you meant.

Jona. Come on, let’s go.

Yes.

Hi Ferdi. I am psychiatrist.

Hi.

Smoker’s cough. Smoking is not healthy.

Jumping from the roof is not healthy either.

Why did you do it?

Well she simply said -

Well, Björn said that she...

... doesn’t really love me. That she is just pretending.

I believe, I mean from the initial analysis as a psychiatrist...

The question you have to ask yourself:

Why... would Björn ... say something like that?

Well ... I spilled something out.

I said that you are not blind.

That’s no big deal.

I just didn’t want us to lie to each other.

That’s just shitty.

Maybe, I should tell Ferdi the truth as well.

Ferdi.

What are you doing here?

Shock. – Janitor?. – Yes....

What are YOU doing here?

I have changed clothes with Ferdi, so he can sneak out of here.

Where did he go?

He went to the club. To Björn.

Take my stuff.

And she’s gone.

Can you get me out of here?

I can see.

Ferdi?

Ferdi.

I am not blind.

I can see.

If you believe in miracles now and don’t ask any questions...

… then everything will be alright.
