There will always be someone who thinks about you more

Always someone you're the whole world for

I'm sure there's a man I'm sure there's a woman

who listens better than I for you would do anything they can

But if need be, you must know that I am there for you

You must know that I will leave all behind for you

and share my life with you

There will always be someone who gets you in a better way

Who's there more often and hangs around to stay

'Cause I'm hardly ever there well, you know how that goes, my love

I'm always on the road I'm always too late

But if need be, you must know that I am there for you

You must know that I will leave all behind for you

Every time I go looking for you

Even though it seems I have forgotten you

You give me the peace I need so much

to be who I am

You're the only one who understands how restless I am

You're the only who can seduce me to be with you

And no matter how often I'm gone or I run

I always return

But if need be, you must know that I am there for you

You must know that I will leave all behind for you

Every time I go looking for you

Even though it seems I have forgotten you

You give me the peace I need so much

to be who I am

There will always be someone for someone like you

There are a lot of possibilities in terms of pain control.

It's up to you to indicate when it's necessary.

What's he saying?

That there are a lot of possibilities.

A cure? - No, not a cure.

But there are still a lot of possibilities.

You may experience symptoms like sudden dizziness, loss of organ function.

It's crucial for you to take it easy.

My husband and I own a restaurant.

You're married? - You might know The Seventh Heaven.

Our thirtieth anniversary is in five days.

Come and have dinner and bring your wife.

I'll make sure my son-in-law makes you something special.

Where's your husband now?

What's he saying?

He and his wife are coming for dinner. He knows the restaurant.

You have a great view for watching the seasons change.

I envy you.

Sofia?

You have to get a second opinion.

What does such a young guy know? He could have been your son.

We'll say nothing to Max.

I'll tell him after the anniversary. So zip your lips.

I want to be his center of attention for a while longer.

Before I become his patient.

After the anniversary we'll come and see you.

He promised. We're all coming to see you.

And Paul?

I'll persuade Paul to come to the anniversary.

Max won't mind...

...that he'll come along to Italy with Silke and the girls.

I'll help you.

Let me call Luigi to say I'm staying a while longer.

For the anniversary.

Then you don't have to do everything by yourself.

No, you're leaving.

Don't worry.

It won't happen that fast.

I have to do this on my own.

I'll tell everyone you'll be there in about a week.

Luigi can leave his house and stay with me.

That way you have his place to yourselves.

There's no need to worry about anything...

We'll say nothing to Max.

Come on, friends, and drink grab a chair and pull up

Continue the ancient stories

weave tales of all your old glories

we can rest for a while and then have a long road to haul

We know how it ends so show us your soul

We'd like to take everyone at their word

Truth comes from the inside out no matter how it hurts

If everyone keeps silent it stays so quiet around here

In The Seventh Heaven

What more do we want?

In The Seventh, The Seventh Heaven

each and every time love is what we flaunt

When will things be wonderful? Running smoothly?

I've never heard it said that it was easy

But together with friends at least it will be breezy

And sometimes things turn around and it works out again

Yeah, the life of the Life or Death company

sometimes takes it's own peculiar course

some day we will have to surrender to its force

But not yet, no, no we're still too thirsty

In The Seventh Heaven

What more do we want?

In The Seventh, The Seventh Heaven

each and every time love is what we flaunt

Share this moment with us and let it vanish again

Leave behind what's too heavy to carry

pass it on as a memory and be merry

pass on this happy moment to the ones you love

Here in The Seventh Heaven

What more do we want?

In the Seventh, The Seventh Heaven

each and every time love is what we flaunt

each and every time love is what we flaunt

Take good care of her. Hear what I'm saying?

If anything happens to her, I'll kill you.

What's that? - Cinnamon cake.

Apparently it's to die for.

Can I have a taste?

That's good.

If you'd stop dancing you can eat what you want.

I can already eat what I want. - So that's why you have a glass of water.

And then we can finally go on a trip again.

We can't, because I have a job. - You think dancing is a job?

It earns me money. - As if that's so important.

Not when you have a girlfriend who pays your way.

Ouch.

You're gobbling it up. - Well, I'm pregnant.

As in pregnant?

What's going through your mind? - Nothing.

Want to keep it? - No.

Do you? - No.

I'm not ready for it.

Babe, if we have to wait until you're ready for something...

You don't seem to be upset.

I just ate a package of butter with sugar and cinnamon. I'm not quite myself.

I have a career and you don't.

My parents can't babysit. Yours are going to Italy.

It's not exactly convenient right now.

Do you feel like rye bread with salmon and a poached egg as well?

Inge will make sure the drawings are framed.

And no penny-pinching, Inge. No expenses spared.

The design and renovation of the restaurant is Mr. van Hulten's gift...

...to his daughter and son-in-law because of the anniversary.

You should come and have dinner some day.

I live on my own, so I'm reluctant to go out for dinner.

I'll make sure you have the drawings the day after tomorrow.

Cheerful girl. - Right.

Are you sure you don't want to discuss it with Eva and Bart?

Absolutely not. I want to give them the renovation as a gift at the anniversary.

But Eva and Bart will be the owners. - Eventually, but I'm not dead yet.

What am I supposed to do? A hobby, read books, enjoying old age?

I've never felt better.

Sit down because I want to talk to you

I'm not as happy as I used to be

Don't worry, I don't want to leave you

There's just something I want you to see

Is this all?

Oh, is this all?

Is this all there is?

No, is this all?

Is this all?

Is this all there is?

Not all

Is this all?

I don't want this is this all there is?

Is this all? - No, no, no, no

I don't want this to be all - Is this all?

Is this all there is?

Is this all?

It's my anniversary as well. - I'm not denying that, am I?

Tomer, I'll have a cappuccino. - I want all of my children to be there.

Want one? - No. Are you listening?

We're not by ourselves. - Tomer, could you excuse us, please?

Of course, Mrs. van Hulten.

Tomer?

Didn't you have a day off? - We're discussing the anniversary menu.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

I stumbled.

Don't get so distressed, honey.

We'll discuss it later. OK?

When will you know how many people will attend?

You should ask her dad. He keeps inviting people.

Well, it is his anniversary. - And our starting shot.

We could just only make antipasti. Bruschetti and...

Then people can walk around. - Isn't that a bit boring?

Here, look...

Venus clams with borlotti beans. - Good luck finding borlotti beans.

Yeah, we'll do that.

OK. I'm sure you can manage without me.

Right?

Eva?

You have to support me with your father and so on.

Can't Lot support you?

She licks her glass and tosses him a smile

He goes over to her she'd been expecting it awhile

Tomorrow she'll regret it she can already tell

Yet she does it again and again and again and again

Anyway, who cares? Lots of people have affairs

I want you, stay with me

Love me and never leave

I want you, stay with me

Love me, I'm losing my mind

I want you, stay with me

Love me and never leave

I want you, stay with me

Love me, I'm losing my mind

Everything he says sounds fake and cold

Even though he loves her that's what he told

She knows he's lying and yet she says it again

And again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again

Anyway, who cares? Lots of people have affairs

I want you, stay with me

Love me and never leave

I want you, stay with me

Love me, I'm losing my mind

I want you, stay with me

Love me and never leave

I want you, stay with me

Love me

I'll go and get the car. - Why don't you go and the car?

Hey Lot, you don't have to put up with this.

Lot has a flat tire. I'm taking her home.

Flat tire in her pants, I guess?

I'm surprised you put up with it. - Stop it.

He slaps her ass. I'm getting a divorce. - Do you guys still do it?

Julia, how's the dancing going? - Very well.

Tomorrow Roel and I will find out if we can do the pas de deux in The Rite of Spring.

I do mean it, Eef.

You have to keep pleasing him. Men need validation.

Exciting. - And you? Are you ready for it?

As ready as I can be, I think. - Don't be like that.

Bart's had his eye on the restaurant since Paul left.

Yes, Bart. - Not you?

She's not sure she can manage without her daddy.

Eva, should we lock up? - No, I'm coming.

Are you getting back to work? - Yes.

Coming?

I'll show you my workshop.

I'm having an abortion tomorrow, so I think I'll go to bed early.

That's a crappy excuse.

An Amarone della Valpolicella, 2008.

Taste it.

The only thing we still need to decide on is the dessert wine.

I'm a bit worried about Matthijs. - It's your job as a mom to worry.

He's so restless. - He's enjoying himself.

Just give him the time to settle.

When you're done worrying, Madam Rossi...

You're in such a good mood.

I want it to be an unforgettable evening on Saturday.

Know what would make the evening unforgettable for me?

Well?

If Paul and Silke were to be there.

Max, please, can't we just talk about it?

Why is there always a hassle when Sofia's been here?

Always a hassle. Always.

Any other symptoms?

I feel nauseous. - That's not unusual.

Maybe you should use a different aftershave.

Just joking. - I know.

The procedure is as follows.

With a short-term pregnancy you'll be treated as an outpatient.

You come in, get a local anesthetic...

...and afterwards you rest for a while in the recovery room.

It doesn't take longer than a few minutes and the pain may be intense.

But afterwards it's like menstruation cramps and then it fades.

OK.

You can make an appointment at the desk. Have someone with you to take you home.

I was thinking... - Or we can call a cab.

I was thinking that it might be possible to do it now.

I have the time now, so if you could do it now...

Well, then it's... And I'll take a cab afterwards.

With an important decision like an abortion it's good to give it some thought...

...to be sure you make the right decision. - I am sure.

That's possible. But by law you have to have time to reconsider.

I'm not even allowed to treat you today.

Do you use Colman's mustard on the slider?

What are you doing here? - French mustard is possible. Less spicy.

Yes, I use Colman's.

It should be on rye bread, right?

What do you want?

I want us to make peace. - Oh, right.

You sent Eppie with an invitation. - Yes.

So? - So we're not coming.

It's important for us that we're all there. - No, it's important for you.

For him it's only important that we can pretend to be a family, which we're not.

Since when aren't we a family? - Since he kicked me and Silke out.

You left of your own accord. - No, he insulted Silke and you did nothing.

Don't be so stubborn. What do you have now?

A kitchen on wheels. Does that make you happy?

Just tell dad you made a mistake.

I'll talk to Eva and Bart and I'm sure that things will be all right again.

You aren't listening, are you?

I don't live for you anymore.

Gone are all the years

in which I believed

that we were happy

And now that life is mine again

and finally my heart is free again

I'm so glad it's over

I don't live for you anymore

You don't even have to try

to keep standing here

and to lord it over me

I've had too much to bear

I've had more than my share

so you can go elsewhere

I don't live for you anymore

You're a liar and a cheat

I've had enough of your deceit

So you can dry your tears

I don't live for you anymore

So why don't you get lost

To me it's too distressing

So if you want to leave

it would only be a blessing

Too often you let me down

and left me to drown

Just go and get your stuff

No, I don't live for you anymore

It's over Yes, over

For you and me Over

How nice. - Is she here?

Yes. Shall I take your jacket?

Jesus. - Sorry.

Sorry, sorry, sorry. - Good line.

You mean congratulations. - No, I mean sorry.

Sorry, I should have been there.

I'm an inconsiderate prick, but it got late last night.

I didn't want to wake you up, so I slept in my workshop.

I'm sorry, because I know how much you hate doctors.

Congratulations? - Doctor?

You didn't go home last night? - We got the pas de deux.

No way. That's great. - Yeah.

Are you ill? - You didn't go home.

What? - I'm pregnant.

Huh? You are pregnant? You didn't... - No, I didn't.

I went for an abortion. Matthijs was going to come.

The procedure is having five days to reconsider it.

So I'm still pregnant.

But you are getting rid of it? - Yes.

This may be a strange remark in a world where the ego reigns supreme...

...but congratulations with the unwanted child.

I always figured you had a low sperm motility.

I mean, everything is perfect about you, so I thought you had a low motility.

Thank you. I think.

Shall we go? - Yep.

I'll see you tomorrow. - Do you want to rehearse?

Yes, of course.

Too bad. One minute I'm a godfather and the next minute I'm not.

Shake it. Don't stir it.

Are you going to tell me how... - You're stirring, so I have to explain.

If you'd be shaking, I'd keep my mouth shut. But you're stirring.

It's my kitchen, Max.

Your kitchen in my restaurant.

Here.

Is this necessary? - I'm teaching Lot how to make a port sauce.

And that you have to shake the pan. Your husband stirs.

Your dad is a stubborn know-it-all. - I'm just helping.

It's fun here, guys. I heard you all the way outside.

Dad, leave Bart be. - I'm doing nothing at all.

What are we having? - A fish dish...

...roast beef from the oven with that delicious port sauce.

Dude, don't.

Antipasti de la casa and what else is put on the table.

As long as it's enough.

Oh, Bart, don't stir that port sauce, shake it with the pan.

Our councilor of culture is coming with his wife.

He needs a special spot, but it shouldn't be obvious.

Because here... - Everyone is always equal.

Julia's doing the big pas de deux in The Rite of Spring.

Really? - That's good news.

Good news? It's wonderful news.

I'll have some too, please. - Really?

To celebrate.

A real solo. Be careful, son. She'll "paws parry" her way to fame.

It's called pas de bourrée, dad.

Paws parry, pas de bourrée, who cares? You know what I mean.

If you don't get a job soon...

...Julia will bourrée right into the arms of a responsible man.

I'm sure it won't be that bad.

Guys, I have a surprise for you.

I can't mention too much about it, or it won't be a surprise.

But I think that what I have up my sleeve will make you very happy.

Weird, I'm not looking forward to it at all.

Bart...

I'm going to the kitchen to see if I'm needed there.

I'll go and stir my pans.

Did you know that Matthijs wanted to be a ballet dancer when he was young?

I have photos of it.

Matthijs in Eva's tutu.

That wasn't me, that was Paul. - No, it was you.

No.

No, thank you.

I'm sorry, I don't feel well.

I'm going to bed.

What's wrong with mom? - Just stressed out about the anniversary.

I didn't know you started smoking again.

That man is driving me crazy.

And that man is my father?

Yeah.

That makes it even worse.

A few more days.

And then it's ours.

Silke?

You forgot Liv's lunch box. - Oh, shit.

It can unsettle Liv to have to eat someone else's bread.

As it can the other child. - But then they learn to share.

It's Parents' Evening tonight. You're coming, right?

Yes. - Good.

And Paul? Is Paul coming?

Yes.

She thinks she's so pretty. - She is.

What are you doing here?

There's nothing to say. - There's a lot to say.

About?

About the anniversary?

Paul made it clear how he feels about it.

We're well. We're managing fine without you.

Sorry, but I don't think I can do anything for you.

I'm going to die. - We all will.

No one knows and I don't want them to, but you have to know.

And no one else.

Not even Paul.

They're healthy? - As a horse.

They eat everything and I mean everything.

Paul finds it a shame when we eat the same thing twice. You miss so many good things.

I'm so sorry. What kind of mother allows not seeing her son and grandchildren?

Your kind. - I have no excuse. It happened.

Too much was said, too much yelling.

And...

...Max...

He was so disappointed that Paul didn't want to take over the restaurant.

It broke his heart.

He recognized himself in Paul.

And now?

After the anniversary we're going to Italy.

I just want to go home one more time.

With all of us to the house where I grew up and where we always went on vacation.

I'd love it if you came.

When the war rolls in and when I have to hide

can I stay with you?

When there is some clique I don't want to be in

can I stay with you?

When there comes some rule with which I can't comply

can I stay with you?

If I have to be something I've never been before

can I stay with you?

Can I hide at your place

when there's nowhere else to go?

When I need a tight embrace will you hold me close?

If I can stay with you

you can always stay with me

Come whenever you want

I have a room for you that's free

When the spring arrives and I fall in love

can I stay with you?

When my love arrives and I am so sure

can I stay with you?

Can I hide at your place

when there's nowhere else to go?

When I need a tight embrace will you hold me close?

If I can stay with you

you can always stay with me

Come whenever you want

I have a room for you that's free

My ankle.

Juul?

Julia?

I don't have the nerve anymore. - For what?

I don't dare to go back. Something's wrong.

I'm sure it's not too bad.

We rehearsed for such a fucking long time and now this.

It's not your fault. - Yes, it is.

I didn't dare to surrender and now... - Hey.

It's sprained.

Can you take him home? - Yes.

Oh, good. You are here. - I thought you wouldn't show up.

Liv is doing a lot better. She doesn't have as many temper tantrums.

She's doing well with the other kids...

...and she's been cooking for the class all week.

Just like her dad.

The only thing is that she can be rather pushy with the other kids during playtime.

Just like her mom. - Come on.

Or her grandma.

Does she talk a lot about her grandma?

Paul...

It's just a question. You don't mind, do you Martha?

No. Is it important who she's talking about? - It's just a question.

Does Liv ever talk about her grandma, my mother? She may call her Maria.

Paul, let's go. - I honestly don't know.

It's like this: Liv is seeing her grandma again these days.

You probably think it's normal for a child to see her grandma.

And I can only agree with you.

But in this case it's not so normal.

Because her grandma, my mother, is married to my father.

And my father kicked me out, because I refused to take over the restaurant.

Not that my father ever listened to me. He thought it was my wife's fault.

So he verbally abused her.

I didn't put up with it. Know why?

I didn't put up with it, because I love my wife very much.

And I think...

...that when you're together you have to be together...

...and you don't accept it from anyone that they hurt your partner.

Not even your father.

Absolutely not your father.

And then my wife and I decided together that we wouldn't see my parents anymore.

At least, that's what I thought. Until this afternoon.

Now I know better. My wife does see my mother.

She might see my father as well. - No, I don't.

I just heard she doesn't see my father.

But the horrible thing is that I'm not sure I can believe her.

She's deceived me before, so she may be lying now as well.

I'm off. Sorry, Martha.

I go there every day. - Me too.

You could have told me. - I could have.

No, I couldn't, because you were talking to my mother behind my back.

I understand you're angry, but I have my reasons.

I don't need to hear your reasons. - So you'd rather stay angry?

Do you honestly think you have the right to be angry at me?

You humiliated me in front of that troll, so of course I have the right to be angry.

You're talking to my mother behind my back. - I have my reasons.

I don't need to hear those reasons. - Jesus Christ, you're acting as if...

...I sold my soul to the devil. It's your mother.

They kicked us out of the restaurant because I supported you. Remember?

And what do you do?

You don't understand. - No, you don't understand.

Are you sure you're staying here? - Yes. Pepijn said I can sleep on the couch.

It's not your fault.

Do you know who you're going to dance with now?

Sorry.

Too blunt? - Yes.

I grabbed for my belly.

When I fell.

It was instinctive.

Are you hesitating?

Are you? - No.

We're not ready for it yet. You said so yourself.

Right.

Trust me, you'll see things differently once you feel better.

I'm pregnant, you know, not ill. - Jesus, you know what I mean.

How far you go

has nothing to do with distance

at the very most with time

And I don't know why

I want to leave

But it hits me hard and undiluted

and it persists with stubborn clout

so here I'm standing with both hands held out

My love, come with me

and embrace me

Embrace me, embrace me

My love, come with me

and embrace me

Embrace me, embrace me

and don't take me anywhere

How deep you go

has nothing to do with thinking

at the very most with a will

And it feels as if I know

where I'm going

And it guides me in the darkness

and it mocks my intellect

so here I'm standing with both hands held out

My love, come with me

and embrace me

Embrace me, embrace me

My love, come with me

and embrace me

Embrace me, embrace me

and don't take me anywhere

My love, come with me

Embrace my limbs and body and all of my delusions

Embrace me, embrace me

My love, come with me

Embrace the days gone by embrace the deep blue sky

Embrace me, embrace me

and don't take me anywhere

How straight you stand

has nothing to do with gravity

at the very most with the wind

Did you know Matthijs is sleeping here? - No.

I'll ask him if he wants to help with the anniversary. You were worried, right?

And Paul?

He can help Eva with the serving.

I'll ask him that.

Julia might like to be involved as well.

I wonder why he sleeps here.

Yes?

Yes, I'm awake.

Yes.

A very good morning.

Absolutely not. There's work to be done.

What's so important that it couldn't wait?

Weren't you welcome at home?

I had to work till late, so I didn't want to wake her up.

So no problems?

No. - Good.

I don't like problems.

Then you can help me with the menu for the anniversary.

Julia's pregnant.

What you need is a steady job. Until you have one, you can help me.

I have a job. - You have a passion.

That's good. The restaurant is my passion. Always has been.

You'll make money some clay, but until then you can work here.

Bart will like that.

Bart's not the boss yet. - He will be starting Monday.

About that pregnancy...

You don't seem surprised.

When you have three kids you're not so easily surprised.

Does mom know? - No.

Don't tell her yet.

You'll do the right thing.

Juul...

He's just grumpy-

Do what your heart tells you.

Dancing is wonderful, but there's more in the world.

Only listen to yourself.

And to me, of course, because I'm great.

Thank you.

Oh, Juul, keep Monday evening free.

Unnecessarily unkind. - You could call it clumsy.

No, clumsy is when you drop something.

Calling your pregnant girlfriend ill is unnecessarily unkind.

Thanks. You're very supportive.

There's nothing wrong with me. - No one's saying that.

No, no one's saying that. I'm saying that.

There's nothing wrong with me.

Hey, I didn't know a reunion was scheduled.

Don't touch that cheese. It's ours. - Good people.

No family. Hello, sweetie.

Come here, man. Brother.

Is this another trick to make me attend the anniversary?

No, the world doesn't revolve around you. - I don't even want you there.

Why? - Mom came by as well.

And then went to Silke.

I understand it, though. She wants to see her grandchildren.

She could have thought of that before she kicked us out.

Does dad know? Did she ask you to come back?

It's unnatural to throw your children out. - The restaurant is mine.

It's fine with me if mom wants to see you, but after the anniversary

I worked my butt off.

And I don't want to hear one day before the finish line that everything goes to you.

Calm down. No one's even saying that.

Why do you two make it so unnecessarily complicated?

Mom is a mother, so is Silke. The restaurant, you and dad...

...aren't so important that she can't see her grandchildren. Silke is right.

Dad and you are obstinate and difficult and contrary.

Mom played a dirty trick.

Silke never said that I... - No, I'm saying that.

Matthijs feels great right now. He's having a child and acts like a baby.

You're having a child? - No.

Yes.

Thanks.

I have to pee. - All right, congratulations.

We're not keeping it. - I really have to pee.

Thanks for announcing that.

Do you think it's weird if I peed over there? - Yes.

It's not like mom to do it behind dad's back.

It's because of the anniversary. It's affecting everyone.

I can hear you pee.

How's Bart? - Bart stirred the port sauce.

Bart is bothered by dad. - Who isn't?

So now everything's dad's fault?

I just saw Paul.

Really low of you to talk to Silke behind dad's back.

I know you'd rather have Paul take over the restaurant, because I...

...would have had kids like a good girl, but that's not what happened.

I haven't become what you hoped for, but the restaurant is mine.

That's not what it's about. - It's what it's about to me.

I thought you always taught us...

...that we had to back our partner, but the anniversary is making you sentimental.

And you ask him to come back? - He's my son.

I'm your daughter.

That's why. Because you're a stubborn, know-it-all, recalcitrant jerk.

What's going on? - You lied to me.

It's not the intention that I get this restaurant.

I worked my butt off for all those years for nothing.

Calm down. - It's a gift.

Because I love this place, this family restaurant.

A gift from me to you guys.

What gift? - I don't know.

It's a gift for yourself.

No way am I going to dance to your tune for the rest of my life.

This was going to be our restaurant.

If I were to renovate the kitchen, I'd do it my way with my own money.

Understand, bastard.

Hey, you're talking about my dad. - What do you want?

Want to hit me? Bring it on.

Take it easy. - Stop it, everyone.

What's going on?

Here...

This is what's going on.

What is this?

What is this?

It's a floor plan. I had it made to give to them.

A present of 50,000 and what does he say?

That I'm a selfish bastard.

Why didn't you consult us?

It's going to be our restaurant, isn't it? It's not up to you anymore.

Why didn't you tell them?

And why didn't you ask me anything?

Because I was going to supervise the renovation so they could keep working.

You're not planning to stop. You can't relinquish control.

When were you planning to do that? - After the anniversary.

And what about Italy? - That can wait.

Dad...

We were all going to go to Italy.

You know me?

So who am I?

Know me better than I do?

You get me?

So who am I?

Get me better than I do?

Eyes that can look straight through the sun

Searching for the place where I live

Are you a metaphor for someone who is kind

or immeasurably far who neither stands nor falls

and isn't like me

not cold and arrogant

This is the place where I live a chair on the water

a window through which the weather clears up

Whether the falling darkness sails past

Did you call me?

Here I am

You know me? So who am I?

Know me better than I do?

You know me? So who am I?

Get me better than I do?

I'd like to say one word

that is true and mine

that shows who I am and that it holds

I'd like to say one word

standing straight as a human being who looks at me and says

I am your truest self

Fear not understand me

lam

lam

Are you the only one

for whose eyes nothing is disguised

of my nakedness

Can you take it like no one else

that I don't emit light am not warm

That I'm not pretty not much

That no fountain arises from my depth

That I only have this face and only this one

Was I seen by you without shame

taken by no one less

Wouldn't that be too much of a truth?

Wouldn't that be too much

of a truth?

Seventh Heaven, buon giorno. Van Hulten speaking.

Don't tell me it's true

Don't tell me it's true

Tell me it's not true

Don't tell me it's true

Don't tell me it's true

Tell me it's not true.

Come with me to our favorite restaurant tonight

A table for two I have phoned to make a reservation

And we'll drink until sunrise

And we'll forget the unfairness of fate

Don't tell me it's true

Don't tell me it's true

And tell me it's not true

And don't tell me it's true

And don't tell me it's true

Please don't tell me it's true

Come on, let's go

put on your coat or it will be too late

Come here, I'll hold you tight and I'll never let you go

And I'll tell you a joke that will make you cry with laughter

and we'll forget the looks of all the people around us

We'll pretend she just continues to live

As if she just continues to live

Even if that's not the case

I had a fight with her.

Yesterday.

Why?

Matthijs and I ran into Paul.

He said that mom came to see him and Silke to invite them to the anniversary.

I thought something was behind it and I told her so.

And?

Would they have come?

No, I don't think so. I think mom had a fight with Paul as well.

I got a message. What happened?

What are you doing here?

I'm worried. - So now you are?

Sorry? - You weren't worried a few days ago.

A few days ago I didn't know... - That mom was ill?

Would you have responded differently? Responded lovingly?

Listened to her? Considered coming to the anniversary?

Yes, of course. - So it's not about mom. It's about yourself.

That you can look in the mirror and say: Well, when mom needs me, I'm there for her.

But you weren't there.

We've needed you long before this and you ignored us.

You were busy showing the world what a top dog you are.

Well, you showed us Paul and now it's too late.

I'll tell mom you stopped by.

And I won't phone you until she wants to see you.

And not a second before.

No, it's OK.

Hey, sweetie. - Where is she?

Room 401. The doctors are with her now.

Are you OK? - Yes.

Where are you going? - Getting your mom a nightgown.

Then I'll go and see her.

Where were you?

I wasn't doing so great. So I only heard this morning.

Did you tell her?

No.

Good.

Julia was here a minute ago.

I ran into her.

Are you disappointed in me?

In you? Why? - Because I wasn't here.

I'm sure you had a good reason.

I think I had a panic attack.

That's a sign you're growing up.

Sometimes I think I'm going crazy.

The fact that you think that means you aren't.

You really think so? - I'm certain.

People who go crazy aren't afraid of it.

They think they're normal and that the rest of the world is crazy.

It'll be fine, sweetheart.

Where is Julia now? - Getting stuff for you.

That's not necessary. I'm not staying here.

We have an anniversary to celebrate and I'll be there, ill or not.

There.

Come here.

Shall I get you something to eat?

I'm not hungry, honey.

Bouillon or something?

You don't care at all

about what I need

You look the other way

when I see you in the street

I should know better by now

and it's best if I leave

I'd like to forget you

but that causes too much grief

You pay me no attention

ignore everything I say

And yet I love you so much

that I know I will stay

I 'd do anything for you

Maybe I should leave

It is just a suggestion 'cause it causes too much grief

It causes too much grief

It causes too much grief

And it's best if I leave but it causes too much grief

Should I stay or leave? I know how it will end

This misunderstood heart will break in half with grief

You wouldn't care at all were I to die of grief

I'm smiling through my tears

you pretend not to see

I'm trying very hard not to let myself go

I really should leave

but that causes too much grief

It causes too much grief

It causes too much grief

Maybe I should leave but it causes too much grief

Should I stay or leave? I know how it will end

This misunderstood heart will break in half with grief

How's your mom?

It's done. - Jesus.

Between us.

We're done.

Should I stay or leave? I know how it will end

This misunderstood heart will break in half with grief

It causes too much grief

Are you angry at me for not saying anything?

No.

I wanted to wait until after the anniversary.

I would have done the same.

If I were you.

I thought so.

But you're not me.

No.

I wish I were.

Listen...

Now you have to be there.

For me and for the children.

And you have to listen to me.

Are you listening?

I'd rather have one good week...

...than three bad months. You have to promise me that.

I want quality of life.

And I want to go to Italy with all of you.

We'll forget I'm ill and I know that's not possible, but you can pretend.

I want to retain my dignity.

I'm entitled to that.

I want to be the most beautiful woman for you for a while longer.

Thank you, sweetheart.

What are you doing?

How's mom?

She's...

...taking a shower. - Good.

Water is good. That way you cleanse yourself.

I'm showering the kitchen.

Bart has left.

Oh, sweetie.

Mom wants me to be there for you.

But I...

I'm not sure how to go about that.

She always does the difficult conversations.

Not me.

She wants us to put on an act in Italy.

That we pretend that everything is all right.

I thought mom and I had a lifetime ahead of us.

You deserve someone who loves you.

The way mom and I love each other.

Someone who makes you happy.

You say you have no feelings for me anymore

and that forever you have closed the door

But by your tone I can tell that you still care for me as well

and I nourish the hope that you will forgive me some day

I know I have made a few mistakes

and that it will be tough to make amends

I 'd lost myself, hard to bear

When I awoke from that nightmare

I finally realized what I have broken in all that time

Oh Julia, you belong to me

Oh Julia, can't you see

It's all his fault he's to blame

But be patient and his love for you he will declaim

Oh Julia, you belong to me to me

I'll give you my heart I'll give you my soul

I'll give you everything I have

as long as you in return give me your love

Oh Julia, you belong to me - Oh Julia, Julia, you belong to him

Oh Julia, can't you see - Oh Julia, Julia, can't you see

My mistake, it's my fault

Be patient and my love for you I will declaim

Oh Julia, you belong to me to me

To me

Oh Julia, you belong to him Oh Julia, Julia, you belong to him

Oh Julia, can't you see Oh Julia, Julia, can't you see

It's all my fault I'm to blame

But be patient and my love for you I will declaim

Oh Julia, you belong to me to me

To me

I have no idea why it didn't occur to me before.

You had other things on your mind. Right?

It's a bit pathetic, though.

A grown man with a stupid anniversary.

Yeah, it is a bit.

You're taking over the restaurant.

And we're going to Italy.

Well, on vacation. Not forever.

I'm afraid that forever is not that long in this case.

Are you ready?

Not quite. - I'll help you.

I know.

But I can't ask you to cook.

Did you end it or him?

I did.

There was nothing left.

Nothing left at all.

He's not a bad guy.

But I'm not bad either.

Oh, sweetie.

Sweetie, come here.

I feel so ashamed. I'm doing this while you and mom...

We'll manage.

Your mother is strong.

But we're cancelling the anniversary.

How are you feeling?

Maybe you should get used to not asking me that again.

It's beautiful here, isn't it?

I'm so happy we're here.

She's happy we're here. - So am I.

But it's a shame we aren't all here.

Mom?

We want to tell you something.

Congratulations, Juul. You'll be a wonderful mom.

Well, if you start with: We have to tell you something.

Don't call her Maria, though. I've always hated that name.

Come on, let's celebrate it.

They're good guys, our men.

Difficult, insecure, but they always return to the old nest.

Did you hear that? She called you an old nest.

Yeah, your mom is allowed. - It's the privilege of a dying person.

Relax.

I was joking.

Maria...

Your prayers have been answered.

Come with me.

I'm so sorry.

Don't cry.

Don't cry. - They're tears of happiness.

They're tears of happiness.

I'm glad you're here.

Right.

But we're here for mom. OK?

Yeah, I'm not getting ideas into my head.

But I'm still glad you're here.

Pretty daughters. - Right.

They look like their mom.

I can tell.

But I think that Liv inherited her smartness from her grandpa.

Well, Silke's dad isn't that smart.

Shall we... - Keep it pleasant.

Yes.

Let's try to keep it pleasant all the time.

And that you teach me how to say 'sorry'.

And that I...

...listen to that.

I'm capable of changing if I want, Paul.

Because of mom...

...and because of you...

...I'll try.

I appreciate that.

Now you never have to put on your coat again

nor to hope that your light works

Let the wind rage outside in the darkness

for inside it's warm and light and good

Looking outside hand in hand where the rain falls

I see the fire of hope and doubting in your eyes

and I know your deepest fear

'Cause you can't be sure of anything and everything will pass

but I believe, I believe, I believe

I believe, I believe

in you and me

And when you get up in the morning I'm with you

and may have made you a cup of tea

And if the sun shines outside we'll walk across the hills

And if it rains we'll crawl back into bed

Waking slowly for hours hovering through time

I see the light through the curtain and I know

on the past you can't rely

'Cause you can't be sure of anything and everything will pass

but I believe, I believe, I believe

I believe, I believe

in you and me

I believe, I believe, I believe

I believe, I believe

in you and me

I switched off all the lights and the room is wrapped in darkness

A street light outside emits some light

And the objects in the room become friends who go to sleep

And the chairs are patiently waiting for breakfast

And tomorrow I'll wake up to the smell of bread and honey

the shine of the golden sunlight in your hair

And the objects in the room I tell them all good night

Tonight we'll go to sleep and tomorrow we will see

But the objects in the room would be lifeless things

without you

And you can't be sure of anything 'cause everything will pass

but I believe, I believe, I believe

I believe, I believe

in you and me

I believe, I believe, I believe

I believe, I believe

in you and me

And you can't be sure of anything 'cause everything will pass

but I believe, I believe, I believe

I believe, I believe

in you and me

I believe, I believe, I believe

I believe, I believe

in you and me

What are you going to do?

Sweep.

There's a party, Max van Hulten.

Go inside.

Enjoy.

You look good.

My mother would say:

"I have a winner with you."

Coming?

Give me your hand look into my eyes

I'm filled with something you give me

I gave you my entire heart

and that's the way it will always be

Give me your hand I want to be as one with you

My place is here with you we will never pan'

I'm not sure if you know what you do to me

Sometimes you make me feel tingly all over

I fall in love with the same woman each day all over

You make me so happy when you give me a smile

until my very last breath until my very last fall

Until all eternity it will be you

For me you are love

for me for me

For me you are the best thing there is

There isn't another thing I 'd want

And if we go through hard times I want to be closer to you

And I want to take care of you your pain is my pain

I do not lack for anything

You're it

You're it for me

For me

For me you are love

So mysteriously beautiful you are you are to me

For me you're the best thing there is

There isn't another thing I want

For me you are love

So mysteriously beautiful you are you are to me

For me you're the best thing there is

There isn't another thing I want

For me you are love

So mysteriously beautiful you are you are to me

For me you're the best thing there is

There isn't another thing I want

You're everything for me
