This is my mother.
And this is Bob, the man of her dreams.

Well, the fifth man of her dreams.

This is them meeting
for the first time.

He spilt some whisky on her
and she immediately fell for him.

Bob whispered poetic things in her ear.
He called her:

ELYSIAN

I had to Google it at first too.

DIVINE, GLORIOUS

They only had eyes for each other.

Mum, that?! do!

OK. Bob wrote poems.
Only she knew that they were for her.

One small detail:
he had a wife who was very un-Elysian

with whom he had shared a feeling of
great tragedy for the past thirty years.

And a cat.

I miss you so much.

She waited desperately for
the day he would come to stay.

Oh shit!
Oh fuck! The children!

And then,
after an afternoon full of great sex,

Bob finally made a decision.

When they said goodbye, he said:
"Yes, here!"

I'm not really sure
how to describe my mother.

She's an actress,
she's very well-known and successful.

A star of films and plays.

She's always broke,
especially when she ls In love.

Fuck, Barbara. Answer the phone!

Watch where you're going!

MADLY IN LOVE

See that pretty girl?

Hi, everyone!

That's me. My name's Eva and
I am never going to fall in love.

I've got a what?

This is Barbara, my mother's sister.

A blocked Fallopian tube.
- What does that mean?

And this is Mathias, her boyfriend.

That your Fallopian tube is blocked.
But it doesn't matter.

You've got two, and the other one
is fine. So just keep on trying!

This is Anna, my sister.

Well, she's actually my half-sister,
but I'll explain that later.

And this is...
- Bastiaan!.!

I'm your boyfriend, remember?

Are you working in there?

Do you mind if we put it off
for a few days?

Jesus Christ. Typical!

It's just that I'm really busy.
I wouldn't be much fun this evening.

A date should be simple,

not a long term goal.

I'd be about as much use
as a dead body.

Do you call that romantic?
- No, I call that wishful thinking.

You're talking to the happiest woman
in the whole world, darling.

Have you read the script for
the Theo Cremer film?

I'm not doing it.
- Why not?

There's so much going on
in my life right now.

And that script is awful.
- There must be some good parts in it?

Yeah, the white space.
I mean, have you read it?

It's undemanding and easy money.

And you can do it
before "Trojan Women" starts.

And I really want to get
a new Citroen DS.

What?
- I've fallen in love with them.

Have you smashed your car up again?
- No, I haven't. Honestly.

Listen, that Theo Cremer film
pays very well

and I can get you a good advance.
- I do have principles, you know.

Yes, but your bank account...

My mother wasn't listening.

Her whole existence
was contained in those seven words:

I am coming and I am staying.

He's coming and he's staying!
- What did you say?

What did you say?

This is The Hague,
where we live.

According to the latest statistics,

278,000 women and 236,000 men
live here.

That last number ls a problem,
but we'll forget about that for now.

We all live in the same house,
and tonight,

Bob will be moving in with us too.

Isn't that a bit over the top?

It's not a kids' party.
- I can hardly wait!

I can't believe
that he's really staying!

That he'll live, sleep, eat
and work here from now on.

Dad will really love it.

Oh shit, we only did it
when no one was home.

So not very often, then.

I make an awful lot of noise when
I come. I orgasm like a hurricane!

Mum!

I hope for Bob's sake that
he knows what he's getting into.

Like a hurricane?
- Yes, what's your orgasm like?

Normal.

Normal?
Does Mathias know how to do it?

What's he got to do with it?
- What are you on about?

Mathias knows exactly how to do it.

Well, not every man with a guitar
in his hand is a guitar player.

Go away, 90 away!
Go, go, go, go!

Come on, give me those.

Christ.

WELCOME HOME

Welcome home.

Come on, come on.

You are the cleverest woman
I've ever met.

Really, you understand every word.

My wife hasn't read
a single one of my poems.

Not a single one.

She cried so much
when I told her I was leaving.

I can't do it, Judith.
I can't live without Claire.

She gives me structure,
do you see?

SHE GIVES HIM STRUCTURE???

No. No, I don't see.

I love you!
I love you so much.

Go away!

Go away, go away, go away!

Bastard!

Spineless swine!
- Why can't things stay as they are?

Get out!

Judith, please, let me come back.
Please?

Let me come back.

Mum?

Am I cursed with bad luck,
or just a tragic, hopeless case?

Do you really want us to answer that?
- What's the matter with that child?

She used to be on my side.
Now suddenly she's the opposition.

Well, what did you expect?
You always end up in the same situation.

There was the painter who didn't paint
'cause he couldn't find the right subject

and when he finally found it
15 years later, it turned out to be stripes.

Lines!
- Lines, stripes, what's the difference?

Before that, there was the actor
who sucked you dry for two whole years.

That's not true!
I got a lot out of that relationship.

Yeah, herpes...

He was a mental case.
- No, he was a sex god!

He was the only man who, during oral...
- Please! I don't want to hear it.

Come on, Judith.

Listen to me. Aren't you getting
a little old for this sort of thing?

Mum and Dad split up years ago.

But whenever Mum is down in the
dumps, Dad comes and helps her.

In his own way.

Before I came along,
Dad was married to Marlies

and little Anna was their daughter.
So she's my half-sister.

Marlies was Mum's best friend.

It looks cozy,
but looks can be deceiving.

Because Marlies is terminally ill,
and Dad is cheating on her with Mum.

Act Two, two months later.

Marlies is dead and
Dad has started drinking.

Mum already looked after Anna a lot,
but now she was doing it all the time.

Dad is a broken man.

He can't look at Anna without saying:
"She looks so much like Marlies."

Act Three. Dad doesn't feel able
to bring little Anna up,

so he lets her choose
between him and Mum.

And Mum becomes Anna's guardian.

Mum hoped that my arrival
would sort everything out. It didn't.

Years later.

Dad has a serious alcohol problem
and Mum has an affair.

Judith!

Dad does his best to win Mum back.

Go to bed, Nick!

In his own way.

And he keeps trying.

A woman of your age
doesn't need that bullshit.

Can't you put it all behind you?

Throwing Bob out of the house
was a good thing, it was.

Yes... Yes, maybe you're right.

I mean, I've got a fantastic house,
wonderful children.

I'm successful, beautiful, Elysian,

and a lot of people have had
a meaningful life without a partner:

Leonardo Da Vinci, Spinoza,
Winnie the Pooh.

Yes, exactly.
- Yes.

Yes!

And that was the moment when Mum
decided to change course completely.

That's it!
What do I need a man for?

Pleasure, career advice, friendship...

but I've already got someone
for all that... you.

From now on, I will decide for myself
what happens regarding men.

I will decide...

Who.

What.

Where.

And when.

Yes!

And?

Mum didn't waste any time,
and immediately started dating.

Do I look like someone
you'd fall in love with?

Tell me some more about this, uh, Nico.

Karel.
- Karel, OK, Karel.

He's a widow. Very funny.

And he teaches history.
Karel Lindner.

What? Karel Lindner?
Mum, that's my history teacher!

Help! My history teacher
is going to see my mother naked!

I'm not going to
sleep with him right away!

Yes, but it's a good idea.

Do it next Wednesday. We've got
a test about the Roman Empire.

Let me get this straight: you're selling
your mother's body for better marks?

Honestly! OK, guys,
is this a bit too much?

He mustn't think of sex
the second he sees me.

That dress won't make him think of
the Treaty of Utrecht.

So you don't know him then?

Oh dear. Any more tips?
- Don't talk about yourself too much.

Don't talk too much at all.
- Thanks. Have a nice evening. Bye!

I think men are intimidated because
I am... me. Or something like that.

Do you know what I mean?
- Uh, yes, of course. I understand.

Oh yes, I ordered red wine,
is that alright?

I don't normally drink but...

one little glass won't hurt.

Cheers?
- Cheers.

Karel Lindner didn't turn up
the next day, so we had a free period.

But then... the unthinkable happened.

For the first time in my life I...

fell in love.

A hostile uterus?
- What exactly does that mean?

It means that millions of sperm are dying
in the mucous membrane.

Only a really good swimmer
could fertilize the egg.

That does make things
a bit more difficult.

How will I ever get pregnant?

We're more likely to die
in a plane crash.

Just keep on trying.

It's so unfair.

What's wrong with me?

Maybe you should find yourself
another girlfriend.

Sweetheart,
there's nothing wrong with you.

The doctor said
there were lots of other ways:

IVF, sex marathons, keep on trying.

It'll be fine, darling.
Will I see you this evening?

Call me?

Dad?

I really think this is
a great idea for the new exhibition.

Dad?

Dad!

Yes. Discuss it with Walter.

I thought I was going to
work on the exhibition?

Yes, you can help him.
- Help him? What about me?

Walter has worked here for four years.
You've only been here a month.

Everything Walter designs is so boring.

You haven't had any practical experience.

It's an exhibition,
not the Roman Panthion.

It's not Panthion, it's Pantheon.

Yes? Yes, the layout
of the accommodation space.

Remove all the diagonals.

Yes.

Now that I was in love,
Bob's poems actually came in handy.

Were you here first, and me the egg?
Wow, beautiful!

Clever, eh?

Mum had a date
with some guy named Mark.

Sorry, sorry.
- Who unfortunately was clumsy.

It's the table.
- Yeah.

I'll go and get someone.

Excuse me, but are you Judith Miller?
- Yes.

I think you're great.

I've been a fan for years. Years!

And you're still so successful,
even at your age.

Hi, girls.
- Hi, Mum.

Men are hopeless!

Successful director Theo Cremer
has won another prize.

He took time out of his busy schedule
to receive the prize in person.

We have been selected at Cannes.

Theo Cremer! He's perfect!

He's handsome, successful, charming.
He's going to be my new lover.

Mum!
- Does he know about this?

Those are mere details, sweetie.
Hello, Eddy. It's Judith.

Listen, I'm going to do
that Theo Cremer film. Call him, now!

Who's going to play the lead?
- Just a moment.

Judith Miller,
this country's biggest star.

Judith, wonderful.

OK, we're going to do another one.

Just a bit longer, for some photos.
That's it. Thank you!

Incredible.

OK, go. We're going to do another one.

Hey. That was good.
Honestly, it was. You're really good.

I'm having a dinner party next week,
you have to come too.

Uh, well, I don't know...
- Come on. It's nothing special.

It'll just be a few friends
and some people from the industry.

We'll have a nice time,
eating, chatting,

taking all our clothes off.

Wow, well, in that case...
- OK, right.

Will the film's producer be there too?

That's my wife.
- Your wife?

May I confess something terrible to you?
- Yes, of course.

I've seen Marla Summer
at least twenty times.

It really is the most wonderful thing
I have ever seen.

Am I embarrassing you?
- Yes.

But I'm sure I'll survive
the compliments.

Keep going.

Theo, we're going to start.
- OK.

Hey. Theo!

See you later, eh?

He's got a wife.

Oh dear.
- I'm not getting involved in that!

Do you know what I'll do?
I'll go to the dinner party.

Remember that script
I've been working on for ten years?

I'll get his wife to read it
and I'll see what happens.

Your thoughts are elsewhere,
aren't they?

I can't get pregnant this month,
because“.

I'm ovulating on the wrong side.

It's going to be a quiet month.

Do you only do it to get pregnant?
- Yes. Why else?

Uh?
- What?

Sex? I don't get it. I think it's all
a big fuss over nothing.

It's just something you do,
like eating or flossing your teeth.

If flossing is like sex for you,
I'd love to see how you floss!

Mum had received a generous advance
for Theo's film

and she immediately bought
a far too expensive car.

Which one is it?
- The one with the white bag.

Oh yes, he's really cute!
- Mum!

But what do I do?
- Talk to him. That's what I always do.

Yes, and you know what that's led to!
- Yes, you!

Just talk to him,
I'm sure he'll like that.

The most important room,
the break room, is there.

I'm in here, it is a...

Oh yes. My daughter Anna is there. She's
only been working here a few months.

I'll show you the rest, come on.

That's not bad.
Whose designs are they?

Mine.
- Wow, brilliant!

Really great.

We need to leave Anna alone,
she's at the wire stage.

So... Come on.

Anna...

This is definitely something for you.

It's a competition for young designers.

You must enter!

Anna, can you bring us two coffees?

Dammit!

Hey, are you OK?
- Yes, no, sorry,

My name's Jim.
I'm Karel Lindner's replacement.

Oh, right. Miller. Barbara Miller.
- Barbara. Right.

Because there's no roof
there isn't a real bicycle shed here.

No.

I had a torn saddle, and
the rain turned the split all slimy.

And I always had a wet patch
on my pants.

Well...
- Well...

Don't know why I'm talking about that.
- That's OK.

Saddles come up far too infrequently
in conversation.

They do, don't they?
- Yes.

I'm going inside.

Me too.

Karel Lindner told me
a bit about your son.

Mainly about how he behaves
in class and...

At the... Sorry.

I dropped my pen-

I've got one like that too.

Right, we were talking about
your son, Paul. Simon...

Bram.
- Bram...

That Theo Cremer isn't that bad,
you know.

Half a day on set with him
and you're in love again.

There's something about him.

I can understand
women falling for him.

There's a word for that, menopause.

Don't be such a moron!

Mum! Do I look like
a girl you'd fall in love with?

Darling, you look wonderful!

Correct answer.
Now I just need bigger breasts.

Judith?
Why are you calling me?

I wanted to ask if I could borrow
some money. 10,000 euros.

10,000?
You just got an advance!

I told you I wanted to write
that screenplay.

With that money, I can buy some time
so I can really concentrate on it.

What happened to the money
you got from your parents?

I invested it.
- In what?

Clothes, your daughters, I...

Mum and Dad always argue
about everything.

High time I intervened!
I can't shop like this.

Dad! Mum!
- Judith?

Stop, now!

It would be unethical to
leave either of these dresses behind.

You're right. Even if you want
to buy five dresses, sweetheart.

Bye. I'm going to buy some dresses
if that's OK with you.

You do that! Go ahead!
I'm not giving you a single cent!

They're lovely!

Barbara, can I ask you something?

I have to teach in room 4B tomorrow,
but I have no clue...

It's above the gym.
The hallway at the back.

Barbara. Turn the light off.

OK, I'll turn everything off.
- I can do it, if you want.

What was your name?
- Is someone waiting for you?

Yes. No. Well, not really. No...

Shall we have sex?
- What?

You and me. Here.

Now, here, on the floor.
- Pardon?

You and me.
We have to, I can feel it.

The cosmos are saying we should.
I can feel it.

I, I, I have to... do all kinds
of stuff. Some shopping...

I get it, Judith!
I get what you are always on about!

I thought I was dying.
I didn't know what it was.

I couldn't breathe,
I felt like

I was sinking down
to the center of the Earth

and flying up to Heaven
at the same time.

My body was as wide as an ocean.
I became shapeless.

It was as if I were fainting.
So that's an orgasm!

Oh fuck!

Everything was bathed in
a sort of crystal blue light.

I didn't recognize my voice.

My shouts echoed
all the way down the hall.

So that's what everyone is on about!

This is bigger and better and more
enjoyable than anything else, isn't it?

Oh man, oh man.
I want more, I want more.

Wow!
Has Mathias finally woken up?

It wasn't with Mathias.
- What?

Oh fuck, I can still feel it!
- Not with Mathias?

No, with Jim.
- Who's Jim?

A colleague.
- Jim, my history teacher?

Oh help.

Did you fake it for all those years?
- No.

No. I felt something,
but I thought that was it.

But that wasn't it at all!
This is fantastic!

Mathias. Oh no.

I really have to stop.

Two days later,
Dad came to cook for us

because Mum insisted
on going to Theo's.

Hey, Theo read my screenplay
and showed it to his wife.

She used to be a producer.
Now the kids are in school

and she wants to work again.
She's very interested in making it.

That's, uh, good news then.
- No, Nick. That's fantastic news.

No. Don't...

We just pitched a new TV show

about four terrorists working on
the ultimate hydrogen bomb

who become obsessed with the foxtrot.

Talk about good fiction...
- True.

So the timing of your screenplay
is perfect, Judith.

Are you going to make a film too?
- Yeah, maybe.

Maybe?
Your script is very funny.

Terrifyingly funny.
- Fortunately. Thank you.

That woman is incredible.
Acts in films, plays, TV...

and writes a screenplay at the same time.

You're a real workhorse.
- What a thing to say!

Dad!
- Yes, sweetheart?

I'm ready!
- Me too!

My favorite daughter!
And my favorite son!

Say goodbye to everyone.
- Bye!

Bye. Sleep tight!

Look at this.

There weren't actually that many
stars that night,

but my mother's world view
is always far too romantic.

I just wanted to show you.

I think your wife is
a very unusual woman.

I keep thinking she's about to burst
into an Andrew Lloyd Webber song.

I think you have a perfect marriage.

I can't complain.
And I'm crazy about the kids.

But?
- There is no "but".

We've just made the same mistake
as most married people.

And that is?
- We got married.

But you two look as if you have
passionate sex every day.

That's true. That is definitely true.

According to the calendar of
planet Venus.

Dear Barbara, making love to you

feels like all of these things
put together, but better:

tiramisu, The Beatles' White album,
Lisbon in the spring, cheesecake...

Cheesecake?
- Cheesecake?

Woody Allen films,
Bach's concertos.

I spend every day waiting for you.
And every night. Jim.

I'm glad you came, I need to
discuss a few things with you.

Your project has been selected. Congratulations.

It will be made and exhibited in
the Royal Theatre for a year.

But you already knew that, of course.
- Yes.

I wanted to see you because I think
you should come and work for me.

Really. And I'm not taking "no"
for an answer.

But... I already work for my father.

I don't think I want to work
for anyone else.

Soup, please.

Hi.
- Hi.

There was the man of my dreams.

You're Eva, aren't you?

I lost my heart completely.
I was so nervous.

/mean, how can you be romantic
and unattainable

while holding a bowl of carrot soup?

He was everything I wanted in a man.
He was doing economics and math,

was funny, had lovely teeth
and his name was

Louis.

I knew it was you.
- Jim, Jim.

Wow, what a lovely place.

No, no, no, I just wanted
to return these CDs.

You have to stop putting CDs
in my pigeonhole.

You have to listen to them.
It's important that you do.

Listen to Bach for a moment.
- But I...

No, no, no, no, shhhhh!

Then afterwards you can tell me
you never want to see me again.

I have to go.

I only came to put an end to
this situation.

My aunt was tying. She hadn't stopped
thinking about Jim for weeks.

When he asked...
- Do you like Prosecco?

She knew she had no choice but to get
out of there as quickly as possible.

Yes!

That's beautiful music. It is.

I can almost... feel every note.

Sorry, sorry,
I don't know why I did that.

Sorry, that really is
the very, very last time.

And Anna is working again!

Don't be so serious.

What are you doing? Cool.

This is the main entrance and
this goes next to it and...

It really is incredible.

You're 23. You should be
out on the town, enjoying yourself.

Sleeping around and drinking because,
before you know it, you'll be 24.

Shouldn't you?

Do you know where Barbara is?

I think she had a meeting at school.

Go on, go into town! Go on, go!

Get out of here!
Come on!

How did my aunt go from
a one-night stand to an affair?

With a cello suite by Bach and
a bottle of cheap Prosecco.

Last night was, in a word, brilliant,

wonderful, horny, mental,
phenomenal, fantastic.

I hope you're talking about
the part when you were awake.

How would you describe me, in a word?

In a word? Hold on, hold on.
What is that word?

Yummy.
- Yummy? No, be serious.

You... are...
- Elysian?

OK. What is that?

That means that I am going to
kiss you hard with my Elysian body.

That's a good plan.

When will we see each other again?
- In ten seconds, on the bathroom floor.

No, no, I really do have to go home.
I'll have to think up some excuse.

We'll see each other Wednesday, OK?
I really do have to go.

It was holiday time.
I finally had a chance

to try out
what I'd learned from my mother.

I wasn't the only one in the race.
Butt don't give up that easily.

I had a plan!

I pretended that
I had never roller-skated before.

Bingo!
One - nil.

Then I put Louis on the spot.

Bingo!
Two - nil.

While waiting for a real kiss,
I practiced with Rimbaud.

There were going to be lots
of shooting stars that night,

and we had to see them.

We wanted to make a wish.
So we all stayed up.

It's perfect. He's really sexy.

Is he?
- He's married. Unhappily married.

It's perfect. There's absolutely
no risk of me falling in love.

Not so many candles. There'|| be
too much light to see the stars.

Mentally, I don't feel the least bit
attracted to Theo. So...

I think I'm having an affair.
- What?

I thought you'd finished with Jim?
Why didn't you tell me?

I, uh, didn't dare.

How many times have you done it?
- Not that many. Two or three times.

Two or three times? Are you sure?

I feel so guilty.

What should I do?
I really enjoy it.

Poor Mathias.

Yeah.

Look, falling stars!
Everyone make a wish.

I really like what you've made. Really.

But it's not what
Fillip Jacobs asked for.

Maybe that's good.
Why don't you just show him?

It's too extravagant.
- Too extravagant?

I'm sorry I have to be the obligatory
antagonistic force in your life, Anna,

but all your designs
lack a feeling for...

How can I put it? They lack
a feeling for size. Do you see?

Marcel?

I'll go outside,
I can't hear you very well.

Mum was leaving for Vlissingen
the next day, for a new play,

and she absolutely wanted
to say goodbye to Theo.

I was going crazy in there without you.

Shit, Bas.
I completely forgot.

We waited for you in the restaurant
for an hour and a half.

Why don't you answer when I call you?
- My phone is off so I can concentrate.

On a Saturday evening?
- I mustn't mess this up, Bas.

You know that feeling of having
an opportunity you'll never have again?

Do you know what I mean?
- Like sex with you.

For a moment, Anna wished
the evening had ended like that.

But what happened was...

Bastiaan.

What happened to Bas?
- Bas, uh, I don't know.

I think we should break up.

I know I'm impossible and
you're much better off without me.

Come on!

This morning,
at the International Court in The Hague,

the trial of Barbara Miller started.
She had spent all afternoon fucking

her colleague with the great ass,
Jim Lenaerts.

We asked Professor Bo Coolsaet
for his reaction.

The problem is that
if there is an irresistible urge

for sexual contact at the workplace...
- Right.

That can lead to psychosis...
- I feel guilty enough.

Even schizophrenia, a sort of...
- Stow.!

Stop it!
- double personality.

Those are very serious situations.

What is that?

I'm resigning.

But you can't survive
without me, darling.

You can't even use
a knife and fork properly.

I am still resigning.

And this is the highest point!
Here is the highest point!

Judith, come on!
Come on, come on.

Mum was extremely busy
with rehearsals for the play.

It became a modern piece.
The Trojan Women in the dunes.

Right in front of you, look at them.
Fantastic!

We won't make it, Mathias.
- Yes, we will. Hurry.

I don't want to go to Vlissingen.

I don't feel like it, I'm tired.
- Come on, get a move on!

All that baby business
has made me a bit depressed.

Then getting away from it all
is a good idea.

In the fresh air.
- I hate the cold.

Walking on the beach, by the sea.
- My ears hurt, my nose runs.

Come on!
- A weekend on my own would be better.

Come on.
- Some peace and quiet. Time for myself.

Hurry up! Get on the train! Hurry!

Mathias!

Barbara!

Pssst, Barbara.

No, no, no, don't go to the seaside.

Stay here, then we've got
a couple of days to ourselves.

What are you doing?

Come on.

I can't get out of it.

What did you say?

I don't feel well and don't fancy
spending two days whining.

Just come. It'll be fine. I promise.

No, I'm staying here.

You've been acting very strange.
- You go.

You shouldn't miss the weekend
because of my neurotic behavior.

You have to go,
but I'm staying here. Sorry.

What are you saying?

I don't get it!
- I don't know! Sorry!

Sorry! I don't know.

Tell you what...
I'll go on my own.

Why are you standing there like that?
- Sorry.

12:30 SEX WITH JIM

13:15 MORE SEX WITH JIM

14:30 AND MORE SEX WITH JIM

Oh God.
I'm a bad person.

Everyone wants to have
a good seeing to at some time or other.

Mum had a house by the sea
the entire time,

so we spent lots of weekends
In Vlissingen that winter.

But I really missed Louis.

So I give him some cryptic poems
about trees and butterflies.

And Mathias gave Barbara
the space she wanted.

Morning.

Have the rest gone out?

Yes.

Don't you want something to eat?

Got any plans for today?

Go for a walk.

Get lost.

What about you?

I'm going to some galleries,
then I'm going to have some pancakes.

Fancy coming too? My treat.

How are things with your boyfriend?

Bastiaan?

He wanted us to live together,
and I didn't really want to.

Because?

Too soon, I think.

What about you?
You and Barbara?

I don't know.

I get the feeling
our relationship is coming to an end.

It's like sleeping with Stalin lately.

Mathias!

What's that?

Actually it's mine, but you can have it.
It's too small for me.

Wow, it's gorgeous.

It's a birthday present.

I probably won't see you
on your birthday.

This has to stop, Jim.

I'm slowly going mad.
I feel awful, I cry all day.

I love Mathias.

Darling, I love my Uncle Henk too.

You've got a far too definite idea
of what life should be like.

Life really isn't like that.
Life is different, people are different.

You meet someone, you fall in love,
you live together

and then you grow apart again.

And then

you meet someone else.

An irresistibly divine sex god.

And that's life.

Right.

I've had a really lovely day
thanks to you.

There's something I've wanted
to tell you for ages.

Go on then.

It's no big deal.

It's a bit silly, really.

But it's also quite funny.
- OK.

Well, uh...

For years...

I was hopelessly in love with you.

- NM
- Yes

Wow.

Really?
- Yes.

Until I was 15 or so.

OK.
- Yeah.

Why am I telling you?
- It doesn't matter.

I mean, it's very special.

I didn't expected that. I didn't know.
- No.

No, no one knew.

You broke my heart.

I didn't mean to.

Do you know what it is?

I still had my looks back then,
of course.

Now I'm a bit past my sell-by date.

Cheers.

Fuck. Mathias!

Hi, darling. You sound strange.
- It's nothing.

I'm doing abdominal exercises.

I wanted to join you.
I'll try to catch the last train.

I miss you.
- I miss you too.

Yes, yes! I'm coming!
- What?

No, no, I'm not coming.
- Who's there with you?

It's... my lover.

She's pretending she's got a lover.

See you tomorrow. Bye.

Yeah, see you tomorrow. Bye-bye.

That was funny.

How awful! How absolutely awful!

This is really awful.

Anna?

I feel so guilty all the time.

Because of what happened earlier.
It shouldn't have happened.

It was also for the wrong reasons.

You felt bad about Bastiaan, and I was
upset over that business with Barbara.

I think we both know
we should work on our own relationships.

What do you think?

I don't know.

I don't know what got into me.

I'm ashamed.
- Eh?

That's good, isn't it?
I'm glad we've sorted it.

Can't you talk to her?

I still don't understand
why she suddenly resigned.

I always treated her well.
I treated her like everyone else.

You should have treated her like
your daughter, not like everyone else.

The point is, she still feels like you gave
her away when you left her with me.

I didn't give her away. It was just
the best thing to do at the time.

Is that what she says?

No, it isn't. But it's true.

I bend my old legs to the ground
and hit the earth

with both hands!
Woe is me, Hekabe.

My shaky old legs, follow the path you
have to follow and make me your slave.

Bravo, bravo!

Fantastic, fantastic!

Magnificent!
Brilliant!

Fantastic!

She is so good!
She is so good!

May I take a photo?
- Yes, of course.

Who is that creep?
- That creep is my director,

who would love to have me but is
controlling himself 'cause I'm with Theo.

Judith, may I have your autograph?
- Yes, of course.

Mum!
- Sweetheart.

You were really good!
- Did you like it?

It was great!
- That's lucky.

Hi, Dad.

I didn't recognize you, sorry.
- It wouldn't be the first time, eh?

Thanks.
- What for?

Just for being here.

I've been thinking.

It may be a bit of a strange idea, but...

What do you think about
us going on holiday to Italy?

Umbria or Tuscany.

I can rent a house with a swimming pool.
The girls would love

having all of us together again,
wouldn't they?

You would have to cancel
that television series.

But you could write for two months, and
I could be chief cook and dishwasher.

Shit. You don't like the idea, do you?
- No, I think it's a great idea.

Do you?
- It is so not Nick.

You used to be totally insufferable...
- Now I'm just a bit insufferable.

No.

That "who, what, where, when" thing
is more complicated than I thought.

That Theo, well, fuck Theo.

Maybe I'm too old for
that kind of romance now.

The knight on a white stallion
doesn't exist.

Am I hopeless?
- No, you're not hopeless.

What makes you say that?

No, you're...

Christ, how should I put it?
You are totally OK, Judith. Really.

You're a fantastic actress.

You're a great mother, you know.

The fact that the girls are doing so well
is only thanks to you.

They love you to bits,
and rightly so.

Hold on, sorry.

Oh no. Don't answer it. Not now.

Don't answer it, Judith.

Theo? Hi!

That was the moment
that Dad had enough.

Just a second.

You're lucky.
I was just about to dump you.

Back in The Hague.

My letters had had the desired effect.

I went to the movies with Louis,
without Zoë.

The film was awful,
but things took off.

Mathias started working hard
on his relationship.

And Anna... worked too.

Watch out, idiot.
- You're not telling me what to do.

Trust me.
- What is this?

We're there, we're there.
Take it off.

OK, it's official. You've gone crazy.

What is this, where are we?
- This is what they call a house.

It's unaffordable, but totally perfect.
Come on!

You're mental.
- Yes. Look, an open hearth.

And another one!
- No.

But we can't afford this, sweetheart.

We can, I worked it out.

Did you decorate it like this too?
- Yes.

Hold on, that's not everything.
- What do you mean?

Sit down.
- Here?

The only thing still missing is
Gladys Night and the Pips.

I don't really know where to start,

so I'll just say it:

What if we just...

If you stay here now and say yes,

then the next fifty years of our life
could look like that.

Yes.
- Hold on, hold on.

Barbara...

will you marry me?

Yes.

Yes, of course.

Isn't it clear yet?
- Barbara...

How can you end our relationship
via voicemail?

I miss you! Why don't you answer
when I call you?

'Cause I've finally gotten some sense.

When will it get through to you?
It's over. OK?

I'm going to buy a house with Jim.
- No, with Mathias. I'm Jim.

That's what I said.
- Barbara!

They were kissing.

They were kissing in the hallway.
- Who were?

Louis and Zoë.
- What?

Come here. That's awful, sweetheart.
- I hate Zoe.

I want to die.
- Hush, hush, hush.

What should I do?

I can't go on.
- Oh, sweetheart.

I wish I could comfort you, darling,

but this is going to hurt
an awful lot for a while.

The advantage is, you'll then have been
through the worst moment of your life.

Come on, darling.

It's nice that we don't have to meet
in some bar.

Hello.

What are you doing here?
- Surprise. Your wife invited me.

This really is inconvenient, Judith.
- But this is a night for romance.

Theo, Theo, Theo,
your wife isn't on to us.

She's got her hands full downstairs.

Here I am!

Look, champagne.

Want some too?

On, OK, bye!

I brought you some champagne.

Nick, Nick, Nick, you were right.
I'm such an idiot.

Theo is a bastard, a real bastard.

I'm sorry I left you there
like that in Vlissingen.

Nick, answer your phone,
I know you're there.

Tuscany was a really good idea.
Let's do it.

This isn't going anywhere, eh?

No, it's not going anywhere.

Everything seemed to be fine
between Mathias and Barbara.

They chose a date for their wedding.

Come with me.
- What?

No.

What's this?
- Open it.

Well...

Bach.

You listen to nothing else.

What's the matter?

Nothing, I... How sweet!

Sorry, sorry.

We just made it.

Who was that?
- It was Judith.

Beautiful.

What's up?
- I don't feel too good. Let's go.

What's the matter?
- Let's just go.

Barbara!

Barbara!

Who's that?

Oh, that's someone from work.

I'll just go and say hello. OK?

I made myself clear.
- I miss you.

I was quite clear.
- I miss you, I miss you.

I made myself quite clear.
- I want to see you.

I made myself clear.
- Please, please.

Please.

Mum was very depressed,

and kept thinking
about the same man all the time.

It's me, Nick.
- Judith? This is not a good time.

You were so right about Theo.

I let myself fall for it all over again.
I'm a stupid cow.

My life is a disaster.

What are you doing here, Judith?

Who's that?
- That's none of your business.

Why didn't you tell me about her?
- As if you'd be interested.

Hey, why are you so angry?
- Because I've had enough.

Had enough of what?
- Had enough of you!

Of everything you do, of you expecting
me to provide support and comfort.

Of suddenly having to be
your personal bank.

Could you save your anger
until tomorrow?

Could you just show some concern
and be nice to me now?

Go ask Theo to show his concern
and be nice to you.

I don't understand.
- Look at yourself, for God's sake!

Right, and you are so wonderfully
stable! You're an emotional wreck.

It's your fault
Anna has been unhappy for ten years.

Then I think it's best if I'm no longer
part of you and your daughter's lives

and that you piss off now.
- Dad, please.

Anna, I didn't recognize you.

What are you doing here?

I...
- Anna and I were discussing her future.

Really? That's fant-
- No! Don't touch me.

I want you to leave. Anything to do with
Eva we'll discuss by phone from now on.

Are you serious?
- Yes.

Things really do
come to an end sometimes.

Dad...

Please.

Oh, fuck!

Fuck!

That's better! Now you've really
captured the tragedy of the scene,

the fatal flaw of the leading character
who refuses to see how things really are

and continues to chase
unrealistic delusions. Fantastic!

Dad had made up his mind
and left for New York for a year.

Now I was left with no father
and no Louis.

But at least now I had time
for Robert Pattinson.

Mum was unable to say goodbye.
She found it far too difficult.

I'm so angry, it's just ridiculous.

I keep having really crazy thoughts.
- Such as?

Driving a truck over Barbara and Jim
and obliterating the pair of them.

But it's not an option because
I don't even have a driver's license.

No, Anna, don't...

I'm really grateful for
everything you've done for me lately.

But I need to be alone now.
It's best if you leave.

No, Anna, I don't want you to leave.

No, no. You made yourself clear.

I'm pregnant.
- What? Pregnant?

Three months.
- Three months?

But three months ago... three months ago
we weren't back together then.

It's Mathias's.
- Mathias's?

Are you serious?
- Yes.

Now what?

I don't know.
- I don't know either, darling.

It doesn't seem like a good start
to a relationship... or is it?

OK, end of discussion.
- No, no, no. No end of discussion.

We'll come up with a solution,
or a temporary solution, darling.

What do you mean?
Get a guinea pig or something?

Anna?

Barbara?

Anna, who is it?

May I come in for a minute?
- Yes. Of course.

I'm really not sure.

Tristan?

What's wrong with Tristan?

Hold on. I know, Ringo.
- Vetoed.

Yes, vetoed.
- Hey, thanks a lot.

You have to back him up now.
You're the love of his life.

Yes, but there are limits. Besides,
I think it's going to be a girl.

Our family is all women, isn't it?

I slept with Mum every night
to comfort her.

Broken women need to support
each other.

Shhh, sweetheart.

Hush.

I could tell you so much more.

About the death
of our autistic gold fish, Marco.

Or about Anna and Mathias
who didn't sell the house after all.

Or about my asexual life.

Eleven months later.
It was Anna's big night.

It's really beautiful,
it's fantastic!

You can see you are
your mother's daughter, eh?

Mum! She's not your daughter.

She's more her father's daughter.
- Yes, that's true.

Anna.

I'm so pleased you're here.
May I introduce you to the mayor?

Nice to meet you. What a beautiful
work of art the city now has!

Hey, have you seen Mum?

Hey, Mum, I'd like to introduce you
to some people.

Dad!

You're brilliant! I knew you'd come.

Everyone thought you'd gone
to New York for good.

No. And I had to be here for Anna.

I wouldn't miss this.

Mum's been so boring lately.
- Has she?

She hasn't crashed anything,
hasn't had a single boyfriend

and, what's more, she's been behaving
in a socially acceptable way.

Is she in such a bad state?
- Come on.

Anna, congratulations.
- Thanks.

You did a really good job.
Didn't she?

I got out of the taxi and saw it there
and immediately thought...

But when you...
- Dad.

I'll be right back.

Judith.

Nick!

Do you mind?
- No, no, no.

It's great that you're here.

Are you staying long?
- No, no, not long.

I have to head back soon.

Do you want to settle in New York?
Do you want to stay there?

It won't be long
until Eva is all grown up.

She thinks New York is fantastic too.

Is it to do with love?
- Yes.

No, not, uh...
- No?

No.

Well, there is someone,

but she really can't
make up her mind and...

and I've been waiting
a very long time so...

You know how it is.

The ball's in her court now.
- Right.

Oh, Barbara!
There she is! What a little sweetie!

Cute, eh?
- Oh, what a little cutie!

Hold on, tell me
how we're all related now,

because I've lost track.

Your brother-in-law
is now my brother-in-law

and I'm his sister-in-law,
but I'm also my niece's aunt

and Mathias will soon be your
and Mum's son-in-law.

Right...
- It sounds complicated, but it's simple.

Dad stayed much longer than expected,
but neither really knew what to say.

I should go.
- Yes.

The moment came of the big farewell.

Dad had to leave for Rotterdam Airport.
And Mom let him go.

I've already said goodbye to the others.
The emotional bit is over and done with.

I'll just slip away quietly, OK?
- Sure.

Good luck with your film.
- Right.

Nick!

Nick!

Yes?

Let's keep in touch.

Yes, of course.

Even if only for Eva's sake.
- No, I don't mean that. I...

Darling, if you ever want to borrow some
money, of course you can, no problem.

No, that won't be necessary.
It's not about money.

What then?

I just wanted to say...

I lo...

Lo...

Look after yourself.

Have a good trip and be careful.
- You're a strange woman.

I do my best.

Look after yourself.

This is how someone looks who just
did something very stupid.

This is how someone looks who's about
to do something sensible.

Come on, everyone. We've got to go.

Ma'am, ma'am!
You can't park here, ma'am!

Oh, sorry, sorry!

Oh, sorry!

Sorry.

A ticket to London.
- To London?

Sorry, ma'am, that flight is full.
- Oh shit!

I've got room on the next one.
- Yes, OK. OK.

This is for the next flight.
- I have to catch this one.

Security, security!
- Nick!

Nick!

Nick!

I have to get on that flight.

Nick!

Don't. Let me go. I have to
catch that flight. I have to.

Nick is on it. Nick is...
Please! Please!

He's the man of my dreams!
Please! Please!

Let go of me! Let go of me! God!

Barbara?

Jim?

What are you doing here?
- I'm working here for now.

Here?
- Yes.

Mum!

Can you take her for a moment?
- What? But...

Be careful, eh?

I know it's not allowed,
but you have to understand.

I love that man,
I love that man so much.

Mum!

He's gone.

Judith?

Nick?

I've been running around like
a headless chicken since we split up.

Wrong thing to say, Mum!

I love you, I love you so much.

Oh, darling.

Oh my God.

Oh yeah, this is Lucas. My boyfriend.

I finally knew what kissing was.
Ali's well...

And... cut!
Great. Really great.

...that ends well.
