Original subtitles

You're not even dressed yet!

Come now, Maria.

I don't feel like it, It's late.

Hey!

Whoah. Whoah!

You cannot skip all the time, seriously.

I don't want to today.

8th Keep it up and my parents will send you back to your mother.

Half of the lessons are forgettable anyway.

See you later.

Are you skipping again?

Let her make herself useful

and help Alfred clean up.

Set the table now.

Are the chickens inside?

Oh... I'll do it right after breakfast.

Hm?

- Good thing we can buy something like that now. - There will be more soon.

Hey, I haven't had one yet.

Well, then I'll give you the whole thing now.

The Rottweilers from Henner tore a lamb from the Lindenwirt.

These terrible creatures.

The poor grandparents!

If they knew how he lets the farm go to waste.

Well, it's not that bad.

His breeding stallions are in good shape.

You have to give him one thing:

He has a knack for horses.

And for the women.

What is it?

Hartmut is coming.

Read it, Dad.

Dear mom,

I never thought to be able to visit you again.

Now the time has come.

Germany is one again.

Dad would have been very happy.

I don't really know what I should say.

It's been a long time and I am not a good letter writer.

I would rather talk to you.

I'll come if it's okay with you, in the third week of July

with my family, Gisela and the children, Anna and Robert.

You have no idea how happy I am.

It took courage to write to you,

It's been so long since I've heard from you.

Your son, Hartmut

Who is that?

Our uncle.

Alfred says himself I wasn't happy at all before.

Oh, Alfred.

What about that?

He is probably the father, Frieda's eldest son.

When Hartmut went over to the West, my dad got the farm.

And now the favorite son returns.

So...

now you owe me one. You're coming to school with me tomorrow.

But. But...

Is Mary still with you?

A nice chick for your nest.

She is nice, but nothing for the farm.

I can imagine. It doesn't make sense.

John is completely infatuated with her.

She just reads and skips school.

Send her to the stable,

She'll forget about reading.

That's what I say!

You stick your nose into the books and the farm falls into disrepair.

Let it be, it wasn't easy at home either.

- I heard everything. - So, so...

She's also cheeky.

The little one...

What is it actually about?

So...

About a father and his three very different sons:

Dimitri, Ivan and Alexei.

The father is murdered

and his son Dimitri is suspected.

But at the same time it is also a love story.

Dimitri has a complicated relationship with Katerina Ivanovna.

But then he falls in love with Grushenka, and she...

Is quite different from Katerina, a little...

well... more passionate!

It works philosophical questions in between...

- Are you even listening to me? - Clear.

And what is the book about?

About a murder and about a love.

- What is that? - Money from Frieda.

For high school graduation.

- You don't even have a certificate yet. - Next week.

Craziness! How much is this?

Drive slowly.

- I still cannot believe it. - Yes.

Look, the...

Craziness.

I want to...

Wait here, I'll be right back.

- Where are you going? - I'll tell you later.

Don't worry, it won't take long.

- So, the apple strudel. Please. - Thanks.

Where have you been?

I've been waiting forever.

Sorry, it didn't go any faster.

Now look!

I have been looking for medium format cameras

and in a magazine was the ad from a seller.

I can take really good pictures with this.

That's why we came to Munich?

Yes. Already.

Henner! Get her back!

Lie down!

Lie down.

Everything's fine, Maria. They won't do anything to you.

Hm?

I'm sorry.

Here’s to you, big one! To your high school diploma!

- I'm proud of you! - Me too.

- We all are! - Bottoms up.

Thanks for the cake, grandma.

Hmmm.

Are you okay, Maria?

Yes.

How is your mom actually?

Hm...

Yes, she...

she no longer has a job.

The factory is closed since monetary unification.

Yes.

She hates it, that's why with them, having to live with in-laws.

All that money. You could have bought a car.

But a camera. Grandma!

This is not just any camera.

This is a professional camera.

This is my future!

Come on, I'll show you something.

Right back.

Look!

Here I can develop myself.

I bought a manual.

The stuff stinks.

I still have to practice a bit.

The exposure I don't have it under control yet.

But, Maria...

I know what I want now.

I will study art.

We're leaving here.

Hm.

What are you wearing tomorrow for the westerners?

I do not know yet.

I'll wear my skirt with the red flowers.

Dress up. We want to make a good impression.

You don't need the cream anymore. Everything is ready now.

Your homemade one I liked it better.

Here! To you!

I got it from the bank yesterday.

Hm.

Thanks, Grandma.

From your mom you don't get much.

Are you going to her?

Definitely sitting upstairs and reading.

Mom?

Mom?

Maria.

Come by again sometime.

Well, my girl?

How are you doing with the Brendels?

Hm?

Good.

They have welcomed me like a daughter.

And do you go to school too?

You didn't take any books with you.

I wasn't at school that often.

But I'm not the only one.

Some teachers don't come at all anymore.

You, mom?

Hm?

Maybe I won't graduate from high school at all.

I do not know either, how things will continue.

Your dear father doesn't pay, maybe it's better,

if you instead of high school do an apprenticeship.

Have you heard from daddy?

Yes.

He will marry again.

What?

Hmmm.

Her name is Nastya and comes from Leningrad.

Hm.

She is 22.

Your dear grandparents seem not to have a problem with it.

What should i do?

I have to go now, mom.

I'll get some more clothes.

Wait, I'll drive you!

To the Brendels and back it will be enough.

Mom, be careful!

Stay there!

Lie down!

Lie down!

We'll get him out again.

Hey! Come!

Now I've caught you

and dragged into my cave.

Go.

Go!

At night he lay there, greedy for her,

and I got it.

Are you there?

Yes.

Yes, mom.

This is Gisela, my wife.

Good day. I am pleased to meet you.

- Hello. - Good day. - This is Luke.

- Marianne. - Gisela.

Siegfried.

Marianne!

- Look, Dad! - Come out!

- Have you been traveling for a long time? - Four hours.

- Up the highway... - Say Hello to grandma.

Good day.

Yes, these are mine here. Anna, Robert.

- Good day. - This is Robert.

- Hello. - Good day.

- Good day. - Good day.

- Dad grew up here. - No, right? Yours?

- John. Maria. - I'm pleased.

- Gisela. - Hello.

Alfred...

- Good day. - Howdy.

Man, then I'll show you everything.

- There will be food soon. - Yes.

Then yes...

I'll be right there.

At night he lay there, greedy for her,

and he got it.

He can do it one more time.

So, so. "He can have her one more time."

She is proud.

Grant him the grace of a last visit.

What is she waiting for?

Take off her clothes.

Nobody knows, Henner.

I won't tell anyone either.

You have to promise, Maria.

Where were you?

Back by the river. I forget time while reading.

They have to be on the table and the cutlery.

Excuse me.

It really wasn't easy at the beginning.

During the day I was at construction and at school in the evenings

and got my high school diploma.

And then again five years of engineering studies.

My planning office I've had it for seven years now.

And before that I was employed.

- Did you meet at work? - Nope,

while skiing.

And what are you doing?

- Hmm, I'm at home with the children. - Aren't they in kindergarten?

Anna goes to school but only in the morning.

- No boarding? - No, not at her school.

Oh right?

Maria, are you from here too, from the village?

From the neighboring village. But now she lives with us,

with Johannes in the attic.

- Well, that's nice. - I think so too.

- Do you like it? - Gladly.

John, does that have to be the case?

Thanks.

A historic moment, Mom.

You'll still thank me.

Stop it. You see me only through the camera.

- Only one. - Hmm.

Come on.

I'll get you tomorrow.

I would like to help you.

If you have the leased land, If you want to buy it, I'll give you something.

- Thank you, Hartmut. - You've done a lot here.

- Oh well. - Hello. - Hello.

Wasn't easy we weren't in the LPG.

The farm would not have fed us.

They haven't even left one hectare.

Without the sawmill and Marianne in the factory

it wouldn't have worked.

It would be good, to buy the leased land, but...

we would need more.

Twenty, twenty-five hectares.

Let's do the math.

We call what you do here biodynamic agriculture.

These are tested farms, who have a seal.

- That costs, but in the end Is it worth it? - I don't know.

Come with me to Bavaria, and we'll look at a few farms.

- Good, yes. - People...

Oh God, come here!

- Day. - People!

- People. - Siegfried.

- Well, my good fellow. - Hi Mom.

Come sit down.

Nice that you came.

How are you doing?

Yes, I have to.

The company at which he's working, it's closed down.

Yes.

Thanks.

Yes.

Now money rules. The German mark.

He's right. We would have needed more time.

Our companies are not yet competitive.

We in international competition - This is crazy!

Yes,

but how could it be otherwise? should go, Volker?

Thousands ran away.

Without the D-Mark there would be many more.

"If the D-Mark comes, we stay, If she doesn't come, we'll go to her!"

I didn't get that. Neither does Siegfried.

The transition period was too short.

Nothing is worth anything anymore - this is bad for the people here.

Hartmut doesn't care. He made it over there.

In the West.

- Be peaceful. - Take a drink.

- Together. - The Henner.

More and more beautiful women here.

- What good can we do for you? - A few things occurred to me.

Is Mary there?

- Are we too old for you? - Nope,

but I only have two horses with me.

She wanted to go riding with us.

Maria?

You wanted to come with me today.

With sandals and a dress? Get your proper shoes and pants.

She is right. Change your clothes. I'll wait outside.

Can you even ride a horse?

- Nope. - Get on it.

So it is good.

Slow. take the reins.

A little shorter.

Well, you're doing well.

Let's go.

- I didn't even know you can ride. - Yes a little.

- Are you scared? - No.

Sit upright.

Do you know Trakl?

The book belonged to my mother.

We are the wanderers without goals,

the clouds that the wind blows away,

the flowers, trembling in the chill of death,

they wait until they are mowed down.

That is nice.

But sad too.

My mother, she wasn't from here.

The farm wasn't for her.

She came from Berlin.

When the Russians... marched into Berlin,

her husband shot himself. He was in the SS.

And the Russians...

Yes...

The Russians got them.

One day she showed up here,

disturbed and scared.

Her grandparents took her in.

Of her three sons only one survived the war.

Franz, the youngest.

He then married her too

even though she barely spoke.

Then she became pregnant.

Nobody expected that anymore. She was already 35 then.

And with that, what the Russians did to her...

When she was pregnant,

she started reading.

Like someone possessed.

Actually has nothing else done.

And later,

she started drinking.

And then she sank in books and liquor

and never appeared again.

Without the occupation of the Stasi Everything in the departments would be destroyed.

Most of the files have probably been destroyed long ago.

- And the rest goes into the archives. - Wait!

People will demand insight.

Maybe my file still exists.

Do not you want to know, who wrote something about you?

That doesn't get me anywhere either.

The only one here Mary is with flawless nudes.

If she even has one.

Namely, Mary was in the pioneer republic.

There was the future one Elite of the GDR trained.

Pioneer republic?

Yes, six weeks Camp at Werbellinsee.

- Bon appetit. - Oh, already had started... sorry.

What were you doing there?

School, sports, shared leisure time.

Everything for consolidation the class standpoint.

- Let them tell. - That's okay, mom.

- What should I tell? - Everything.

Yeah, well, well...

In the morning there was early exercise with music,

to pioneer songs and workers' and struggle songs.

And during the day...

School and groups. Flag roll call three times a day.

And in the evening we all have it watched the “Current Camera”.

Always everything in community.

- How old were you then? - Twelve.

At first I just wanted to get away.

I wrote to mom, that she should pick me up.

That the camp is like a prison.

But they have the letters intercepted and opened.

And then I had to to the pioneer leader's office.

These miserable bastards.

Yes and then...

there was the big torchlight procession.

Hundreds of children marched and sang.

That was somehow...

uplifting.

Hm.

And from there I didn't want to go home anymore.

- Do you still know the songs? - Yes.

You don't forget them.

My favorite song was “The Moor Soldiers”.

Why not sing it?

Um...

Wherever the eye looks,

Moor and heath just all around.

Birdsong does not refresh us.

Oaks stand bare and crooked.

We are the Moor Soldiers

and pull with the spade

into the moor.

Here in this desolate heath

The camp is set up.

Where we are far from any joy

stowed behind barbed wire.

We are the Moor Soldiers

and pull with the spade

into the moor.

How long to stay Hartmut and Gisela actually still?

See you in the morning.

The day after tomorrow I'm going to Leipzig,

look at the art school,

take a bit of photos.

I wanted to stay two or three days.

Is it okay if I drive alone?

Yes.

I don't feel like going to the city anyway.

Come on.

Not now.

It's only a week, mom. You'll love it.

- Bye. - Come home safely!

- She does not want? - She's never been more three days away from the farm.

- If I bring her back, are you coming with me. - Promised.

Thanks. Bye.

Bye.

Oh come on. I won't be gone long.

- Well, what do you say? Chic, right? - Hmm.

- Stays green even in winter. - But you're not sitting outside.

I'll bring your meat order.

He's over there

and tells me how should I do my work?

In the company, where I have been working for 30 years!

With business administration the Wessis know their way around,

- better than us. - What?

Do you want the criminal state back?

He ruined my life.

The woman ran away She was in the Stasi, the bastard!

Nope...

The Maria...

Doll.

Hm.

Well, everything is still easy for them.

She's leaving here and never comes back.

What does Maria actually want? with Johannes, the Bubi?

N/a!?

- Pull yourself together, Henner! - Yes!

Come with me, Maria!

Do whatever you want with me.

Hm?

You have a fever.

Close with yours cool, good hands

all wounds closed -

that they bleed to death -

Sweet Mother of Sorrows - you!

The Dark silently erased me.

The Dark silently erased me.

I became a dead shadow in the day -

then I stepped out of the house of joy

out into the night.

I have to go back to the Brendels.

John is coming back today.

I'm here, Maria.

You know that.

N/a?

Is she back?

Was it nice with your mother?

Yes it was nice.

Maria!

John...

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

It's all ok?

How was it? Tell me!

It was great, Maria.

I'm quite sure now. I want to study there.

They have workshops and its own laboratory.

And huge studio spaces.

The people there are completely different.

The... the whole atmosphere.

It is...

You can already feel it in the foyer.

It's like...

It's a completely different world.

Anyway...

I will apply. I already know what with.

I photograph a series here in the village -

the residents, their houses.

There's something documentary about it -

this world here will disappear -

and something artistic.

With that they will take me, Maria!

John, let it go!

I... got my period.

- I do not mind. - Yes, but me.

- That didn't bother you otherwise. - Already,

but I have a stomach ache.

OK...

Is everything ok?

With us too?

Because I say no once?

You've done this several times now.

I just want to know whether you are okay.

Whether we are okay.

Yes / Yes.

It's easy for me Not everything is as solid as it is for you.

Yes I know.

There is still time for everything.

Have you taken photos of the city?

- Yes, sure. - Yes?

Yes.

All pictures from Leipzig.

And from school.

- What? - Well then off to the darkroom.

- Secure? - Yes.

I'm in good company.

Well, mom?

- Isn't he coming? - He `s not hungry.

Since Frieda left, he seems sick.

Well, what about you?

- Was your trip to Leipzig successful? - Yes.

My decision is made.

I will study photography.

- Artist, what? - Luke, stop it!

Now we eat.

- You just take over the farm. - I can already ride a trekker.

- Siggi! The boy is twelve. - Just it!

- Time for him to get involved. - Do you want? Tastes good.

It's from Hartmut. Speaking of which:

For the certificate I need the stables rebuild and change the crop rotation.

I could the meadows used by the hen.

- Maybe he'll sell them. - I do not think so.

He wants to get the farm in shape bring and buy horses.

- He will need the meadows. - Oh, the hen.

He has his best years behind him.

He seems to be doing well. And he's still dashing.

Do you like it?

I wouldn't him push me off the bed without you.

I have a bone to pick with you to pluck: For the crap

you spend all your money!

The bathroom is full with creams and make-up.

- And that's why I'm going to work! You can go to the chicken! - Oh!

You work hard, yes? And not me?

Everyone else is going on vacation now that we can go anywhere!

To Greece, Spain, France!

It's just me sitting in the yard and I'm supposed to apologize for a magazine.

Customers!

Maria!

- Yes? - Come down to the store.

Yes, um...

I'll take a few tomatoes.

And a cucumber.

- Do you like raspberries? - Hmmm.

Then pack them up.

But they are only available at home.

Are you crazy?

- When are you coming back? - I don't know it.

I can't blame mom again.

What if the Brendels? meet her by chance? What then?

I don't know it.

Hey...

come anyway.

All the best to you

All the best, dear Maria...

Here.

Thanks.

I like the longing in your eyes.

You rarely have an expression like that.

Unfortunately you have to eat breakfast alone.

- Too much work. - Yes I know.

- Yes? - Thank you mum.

New couch?

Grandpa and I were in the furniture store. What's there!

I can also cover in the garden. It's warm enough.

No fuss, grandma. I can't stay that long.

John wants spend the day with me, he's waiting...

You just came.

- We hardly see you anymore. - I thought you'd stay a bit.

Next time I'll stay longer, okay? Promised.

- What fun things are you doing today? - Um.

- We do not know yet. - Why don't you bring him with you?

Um, he has to work.

Siegfried is in Bavaria with his brother.

- Oh what! What happened to that? - Um.

I'll tell you next time, okay?

Has she read them all?

Mmm.

Do you fancy a trip?

Where?

Over...

to the west.

- Will you order latte for me? - Mmm.

I'll go get something.

I hurry up.

Mhm?

Uh, two coffees.

Simple coffee, café au lait,

Cappuccino or espresso?

A latte. And... a beer for me.

Light, dark or wheat beer?

Little...

Beer.

So a little light. Barrel or bottle?

Yes.

Henner?

- Damn it, Maria! Where have you been? - I'm sorry!

- I had to go to three stores. - Come!

- And my coffee? - I drank.

Henner...

No!

Hello!

Hey.

I thought, you won't come back at all.

They didn't want to let me go.

They see me so rarely.

Congratulations happy birthday, Maria.

Come on.

I wanted to give this to my daughter.

But she didn't come until John brought you with him.

Oh come on!

Stop it!

We have you long since taken to my heart.

You belong to us now!

Shall we do anything else?

Don't we want to stay here?

Very reasonable.

I sit in the garden.

Luke!

What?

"Very reasonable"!

I worked hard all day.

Come on, let's have a drink upstairs, and you tell me about today.

Mmm.

When daddy comes back, I start taking photos.

I want to start with the Henner.

His house looks like it did before the war. Without a proper bathroom.

- At Henner's! - When I was there once,

it looked like it did a hundred years ago.

The women don't seem to mind.

- Huh? - So...

I recently saw...

N/a?!

What?!

Let's go up.

I'll be right there.

- Bye. - Bye.

Hello.

At the river in ten minutes.

Henner?

We have to stop this.

Don't come to me anymore.

What?

Why?

You're nineteen, Maria.

I'm forty.

What are you talking about?

Don't ruin everything!

Henner...

I love you!

I love you!

I want you!

That doesn't work.

No!

Please!

Henner!

Leave me alone...

- Leave me alone. -Henner...

Henner!

Henner!

Henner!

Uh!

Henner!

You. What's with her today?

Because of her parents, I think.

- How come? Did something happen? - You know.

The mother is unemployed and her father is marries a twenty-year-old.

- I do not know more than that. - All right.

- Where did everyone go? - I don't know.

Maria!

- I'll see you later, okay? - See you later.

Come in with me.

The tangerines are from Traudel.

She says you like them so much.

Earlier.

When I was a child.

Well, a bit you're still a child too.

Nope.

I'm not.

Maria?

Maria!

John is downstairs.

Tell him I'm sleeping.

I'm sorry, John. She sleeps.

Then I'll wait.

Give her time. Do not worry.

Bye.

Lovesickness, then.

John really likes you.

Whatever was between you two -

you will surely find a solution.

This isn't the end, Maria.

Life can be very painful be, but it doesn't stay that way.

I promise to you.

Oh, you're here!

I was just trying to get up to you.

I brought broilers.

Do you like?

Well, then get two plates.

I have to tell you something.

I applied. In town, at your old school.

The Secretary is over to the west...

I could start next week.

And...

I thought of something, so...

I'm looking for an apartment in the city.

It's no longer a problem, many of them are empty.

And maybe... you'd like to come with me?

- To the city? - Yes. To the city.

Yes...

I'll think about it.

Really?

- Greetings. - Henner!

The Brendels said, I should check on Maria

since I'm driving past here anyway.

John asks whether she doesn't want to come with me.

He must be longing for her or something.

Uh... I'll get my things.

TheJohn was only here the day before yesterday.

Well, he was worried.

- Hmm. And? Is the car still running? - Mmm.

Good.

Well, Hannah, see you soon.

- Bye, mom. - Bye.

I didn't make it.

I had to get you.

I almost died, Henner.

It's not that easy to die.

Henner?

Henner?

- That's John! - Stay up here.

Place!

Can I take the pictures now?

Doesn't take long. You do not have to do anything.

- First in the yard and then in the kitchen... - Not inside!

- Ahh. - Hmm.

- All right. - Mmm.

But in the horse stable and I'm allowed to go around like that, right?

- What's up? - He took a photo of me.

What?

What do you think?

He took photos and I think I'm in the picture.

Damn, Maria, that was stupid!

Henner!

Yes?

I'm done!

I can not stand it!

I don't want to lie to her anymore. I want to be with you.

Are you sure?

Huh?

Don't think that I don't want you.

I want you more than you think.

- But you do not know me. - Henner,

that's not true.

I know you better than you think!

Who else in the village will talk to you?

Marianne perhaps?

Have you ever been really lonely?

Do you know what this means? Hm?

Then you don't have one anymore. None. Just me.

Do you love me?

Yes.

Yes, I love you, but...

- we can't live together. - Why not?

I explained all that to you. We will be alone a lot! Hm?

You will have to work, to have no friends!

I was alone for a long time. I will I can't get rid of my peculiarities anymore.

- I'm older than your mother! - I know!

But I'm not like others.

You will still go away!

If you've had enough of me, from the village, it's "Bye, Henner"!

- I'm not like that. - You are nineteen, Maria.

- You will change your mind many times. - No!

Please sleep on it again.

And if you want to come, then come.

I will come.

I'm coming.

I will come.

That's how I am, Maria! Do not forget that!

That's how I am!

Look at me!

Look closely!

I remain!

I remain.

Maria!

Are you feeling better again?

Why did not you say anything? I would have picked you up.

Oh yes...

You worked well.

Here,

have a look.

Here, Ella with her daughter in her stable.

Look how beautiful the light intercepting their faces.

This morning I was at Henner's.

Here.

The garden gate.

The yard from outside.

The horses.

I like the exposure here.

There's a woman standing at the window.

That's why I wasn't allowed into the house.

He didn't want me to see her.

- The day after tomorrow there is a community celebration. - Fried potatoes!

Ah, mom!

- Thanks Grandma! - Caution hot!

- So. - A little bit more. - Nope.

A decent portion for Maria.

- Give me the cucumbers, please. - Good?

- A lot, please. - Well, you empty it first.

Thanks.

- You, I still have to talk to you. - Okay.

- Not now. Afterward. - Yes, then later.

Do you remember how Volker? fell down the stairs?

And you completely you got on the table drunk

and did pirouettes naked?

- Have you made an egg of yourself! - It's been a long time, my dear.

Mom! Take a sip.
