Okay.

Open your mouth.

A little more.

Yes, that's it.

And now you have to drink.

And then swallow, okay.

No!

No, you have to swallow.

Come on, a little sip more.

Yes! And now swallow hard.

Yes!

Yes?

Second floor!

So, this is your room.

I hope it’s fine for you. And if not, tell me.

This...

...is the bathroom.

This...

...is the toilet.

Yah...

So, I suggest you get settled in and then you join me.

[Hungarian accent] Thank you, Mister Fischer.

You can call me Arthur.

Thank you, Arthur.

Can you tell me why you sent me a male care worker?

I specifically asked for a woman!

Are you seriously telling me that you only have one female nurse?!

How long does that take?

A week?!

Oh forget it!

This is my wife.

Martha.

Has she been sick long?

A year.

I’m sorry.

Thank you. But life’s like that.

You can’t change it!

Come on...

...help me lift her in the wheelchair.

Come on, help me!

Take the legs!

On three!

One, two, three!

- Is she in pain? - No it’s just the stress.

Come, let’s get some fresh air!

We’ll be back in an hour. You can take a look around if you like.

Okay?

Okay, thanks.

The German Prime Minister Angela Merkel, who is usually quite restrained,

especially concerning President Trump, firmly condemns his verbal racist attacks

towards USA born democratic representatives of colour

with sayings like: “Go back to your home countries!”.

“I distance myself firmly from these sayings

and feel solidarity with the attacked women.”,

said Merkel almost passionately.

People of all nations had built the strength of the USA.

Trumps statements, said Merkel, would dwarf this strength.

Yes, yes, tastes fine. Lacks a little salt.

But apparently salt’s something horrible nowadays!

No, just too much is bad.

Yeah...

Where are you from?

Mohács.

It’s a small town in the South,

right at the border with Serbia and Croatia.

It's very beautiful, lots of history.

Sure, I know Mohács.

The Austrians defeated the Turkish army there

and that’s why Hungary became a hereditary land of the Habsburgs.

Do they teach that in schools here?

In my time yes, but nowadays, I don’t think so.

Is it hard to find work where you live?

No, there’s enough work, but the wages are too small.

300 Euros per month. It’s hard to survive on that.

- Do you live with your family? - Yes, with my mother and my sister.

- And your Dad? - He's long gone.

- And that’s a good thing. - I see.

And how old is your sister?

Thirteen, she’s still in school.

And you’re in Austria every two weeks and take care of our elderly?

Yes.

Doesn’t seem like fun.

I’ve been doing it for a while, you get used to it.

You see, if the Habsburgs hadn’t won the battle of Mohács,

you wouldn’t be sitting here now.

Do you have a girlfriend?

No.

You’re still young, you’ll find one!

Open up.

Oh, I spilled some.

Open up.

Yes.

[speaks Hungarian]

You take her legs again.

No, I better do it alone.

You can’t do it alone!

I can. I’ll show you.

Come on, play something more joyful!

Yes!

That’s it! That's beautiful!

- Better? - Much better, wonderful!

- I’m sorry for just taking it. - Don’t be silly, that’s what it’s for!

Is it yours?

Yes, but I haven’t played it in a while.

You’re a really good singer.

Well, I was young once too.

I did stupid things, you can’t even imagine.

Sounds interesting, like what?

No, no, no. I don’t want to spoil you.

- Please, now I want to know! - No, another time.

You need to be a little more respectful!

You smoke?

Not anymore.

You want one?

No thanks, I don’t smoke. Never have.

Very smart.

Do you miss your life with your wife?

Yes, sure.

How long have you been together?

Since childhood. She was my neighbour.

- Never apart? - Never!

Do you have children?

No.

What did you do for a living?

We had a store.

We sold leather goods.

- Good money? - It was enough.

Why no kids then?

That’s not for everyone.

Do you want kids?

Yes!

Maybe.

I don’t know yet.

But I still have time.

What else do you dream of in your life?

What do you mean?

Well, how do you imagine your life to be?

What are your goals? How do you want to spend your life?

I don’t know.

But you have to know what you want from your life!

How will you ever achieve anything?

I want to be with my family.

And friends.

At home.

I know what you mean.

Are you in pain?

No, no, it’s fine. My back is sometimes bad.

It’s not good to sleep on the couch, bad for your back.

Well that’s probably true, but the pain was there before that.

You'll see when you get old.

- I can try and help! - How?

Do you have a new spine for me?

Lie down on the couch, I’ll try.

We'll see.

Feel good?

Very good.

Done.

I hope it's better now.

Much better!

I wish you a good night then!

Good night, Fabiu.

Why did you shout like that before?

Can I help you?

No, I don't think so.

Don’t you want to tell me what happened?

It wouldn’t make a difference.

Come on, sit down,

and tell me what you're so upset about.

Come on.

Well?

Mom's sick.

It's really bad.

I'm sorry.

Is she in a hospital?

Yes, but in a bad one.

The doctors aren't great back home.

Good doctors are only for rich people.

She already had surgery, but it didn’t help.

Now she's still sick.

And where are the good doctors who can help your mom?

My uncle says in Budapest there's a private hospital that's good.

But it’s impossible to afford.

I’ll think about how we can help your mom, okay?

Really?

Really.

Thank you.

Now go to bed.

Yes.

Fancy.

Are you okay, Arthur?

I can give you the money your mom needs.

And more.

What does that mean?

That your mom can go to a good hospital and you can stay with her.

Is it like this with your boyfriend?

Would you kiss me?

Then I’ll give you the money.

Please.

I'm sorry.

It's like this.

Please leave, Fabiu.

I can’t do this anymore.

Bye, Arthur.
