Michael?

You can hear me, right?

Listen... Open the door.

Come on, I want to talk to you.

Please, let's just talk.

We still have to install the projector, I can't do this alone.

VIKTOR DELIVERS

Michael?

I can understand that you're angry.

When I found out that you were coming to Berlin to study, I...

I was so happy.

When you called about the broken curtain rod,

I knew it would work great with a homemade mortar

because it's a special chlorine-isothiazole mixture.

You really want an open-pored result.

The normal fillers can't keep up

because they dry too quickly and...

Michael.

Shit.

Well, then I'm sorry.

Did you just try to break in here?

-No. -Leave. I have nothing to say to you.

But I do!

-You still have my car key. -Are you fucking serious?

And I made a mistake.

No, that wasn't a mistake.

You deliberately lied to me. Several times. That's a big difference.

-Do you think that's funny? -No.

Sometimes when I look at you, it reminds me of your mom.

And if you get upset, it reminds me of myself.

Super, great, thanks, congratulations.

-What do you want? -I want to apologize.

-I haven't heard one yet. -I'm apologizing right now.

-You call breaking in apologizing? -I didn't try to break in...

So, Michael, I have to go.

But I don't want...

to go by myself.

I want to go with you.

Like these past few weeks.

That was...

That was different.

Right? That was nice.

And you learned a lot from me.

And I learned some things from you. But...

You're not allowed to drive.

Well...

Right, that was also a lie?

I have... Michael!

When you said you wanted to get a job, then I...

well, you know, I improvised.

Improvised?

I never thought that you and I would...

Well...

When you looked at me like that, it was my chance.

I thought, "I'll tell him I need a driver."

You could have said, "Hey Mika, do you want to work for me?"

I know.

Sometimes the simplest things just aren't that simple.

I understand that.

Some things get broken in life.

Sadly, that's the case.

I'm sorry I wasn't the dad you wanted.

And not the one you deserved.

You have the super special mortar...

It repairs almost everything.

And stinks.

-You can't have everything in life. -I know.

I wasn't looking for a job.

Why did you then...

I wanted to spend time with you and I was worried about you.

Why didn't you say anything?

Sometimes the simplest things...

just aren't that simple.

To be clear, you still haven't apologized.

I apologized the entire time, Michael.

-You're driving me insane. -No, you drive me insane.

No, I'll drive. Come.

-I'm driving. -I'm driving.

Okay, rock, paper, scissors.

-On three. -Okay.

-One, two, three. -One, two, three.

What's this?

-Fire. And fire burns paper. -No, there's no fire.

At school, we always played it with fire.

That's the wild card.

It's called rock, paper, scissors, not fire.

Yes, because you're a sore loser.

But okay, you drive.

Seriously?

-I'm the better co-driver. -No, you drive.

You drive.

I think we're at the wrong place.

-You can't be serious, right? -Yes.

-I only have the name... -It doesn't matter, let's ask.

There's somebody.

Hello.

-Come on. Why? -No.

Don't be so uptight.

-I'm not uptight. -Then come on.

Hello?

No, come...

Let's go. I only got the name of the woman.

Chill. They only give massages here.

You don't know that.

This is body positivity.

I told you that's something dirty.

Body positivity is not dirty. Hello?

There... Nobody here. Well...

Welcome to Body Lust.

Hello, we're looking for Sophia Denoir.

Single or couple?

Our couple massages are very popular.

-No. -No, Viktor Brings It.

We're bringing the projector.

I see...

the projector.

Great.

Sophia is finishing up with a customer.

That's funny. I thought you came for a massage.

Did you like our taster session, Viktor?

I have... You might be confusing me with someone. I'm often...

I'll let Sophia know you're here.

Thanks.

Thanks.

It's funny that people still opt for a wall mount

for a projector. Who does that?

I'm wondering that, too.

-What are you looking at? -I'm not.

-You are. -No, I'm not looking.

Well, okay, there was a flyer in my mailbox.

You know that. And it said, "Massage Taster Session."

I thought, "I'm not doing anything." And so I went.

-Sure thing. -Yes.

-Massage taster session? -Yes, that's Tantra. It means massage.

Okay, well, full body massage.

Yes, well full... The full is the Tantra.

Well, full in the sense of fully.

-Full, full, super full on. -Well, you mean, with...

With... what with? No!

-Without? Okay. -Of course without.

I just wanted to know.

But fully.

-Well... -Fully.

-I didn't know that. -Are you sure?

Fuck-tor?

Namaste.

Hello.

It's so nice to see you.

I'm also very pleased to meet you.

So, the projector, where should it go?

The projector...

can go above the fireplace there.

It can go above the fireplace.

Well, then... then...

Then I'd say let's get started.

Hello?

-Good. -What I wanted to ask,

what do you actually need the projector for?

For our workshops.

This is our play area.

Here is where all the magic happens.

Here, our clients become one with their...

body again...

with their sexuality...

with their longings.

We hold our Tantra workshops here

and they are really popular right now.

Times are exhausting.

People are stressed.

And tense.

Here they learn to relax again.

-Completely relax. -Completely.

And what do you learn at a Tantra workshop?

Tantra is an access to your unconscious.

There.

The body is the temple of our personality.

-Temple! -Barracks in your case.

Tantric massage does not judge.

It respects all sexual natures of people and knows

that our desire is one of the most original

and powerful sources of energy and joy in life.

-That makes sense. -Cool.

Do you want to try?

-Me? -Free taster session?

Now?

We also want to support younger people in broadening their horizons.

Yes, that sounds great, thanks,

but we still have a lot of deliveries today.

That's not true. We only had the projector on the list today.

-It's just a massage. -You can both get one.

I already had the taster session.

Think of it as a physical tip.

What's the matter? What...

Just relax. They...

are professionally trained massage therapists.

-They know what they're doing. -Yes, that's the point.

-Just chill. -I am chill.

No, you're not chill. I can tell.

Maybe because I'm lying here naked with my father.

-We're wearing a towel. -Yes, for now.

They only do what you want them to do.

Okay.

Since I'm here, maybe I'll do the full program.

The full program?

-You want... -Why? It's just a massage.

Yes, but the towel still stays on, son.

So, about the massage, I just wanted to ask...

Sorry, my dad is a bit uptight.

-Father and son. -Hence the tension.

It would be important to us, or rather to him, that we don't directly interact...

Well, prostate massage is really our specialty.

The pelvis is loosened.

And the sphincter relaxes nicely.

The prostate is the pleasure center.

The G-spot of a male body.

-Did you hear that? -What?

My cell, right?

Sorry, but my cell is ringing, could I...

Just relax.

And...

let go.

Tantra...

is sensual communication.

There are two words in life

that open every door for us.

Push and pull?

Love...

and trust.

Tantra means to expand.

To recognize the true greatness of the soul

and to realize our full potential.

To be in the moment.

In the here and now.

We connect.

And let go.

What are you doing?

-Can you please stop? -What?

You're grunting.

-I'm enjoying it. -I can't enjoy it

-when you're grunting. -I'm not grunting.

Tantra means meeting one another mindfully

and lovingly accepting one another.

There, again.

-Didn't you hear it? -Not at all.

Tantra...

means meeting each other...

on equal terms.

Without judgement.

I'm not judging, I'm just stating a fact.

I have to disagree. You always judge, like with the raw ground meat rolls.

-Oh, yeah? -Yes.

I have to sit next to you in the car.

A raw ground meat roll without onion doesn't taste as nice.

A raw ground meat roll without onion doesn't stink.

It's crazy how sensitive you can be.

-You're so self-centered. -Okay!

Stand up!

Not you.

-Me? -The towel stays on.

Go to him.

Trust in the moment and just do it.

Okay.

Touch him.

What?

-Me? -Yes.

-No. -Yes.

-That's not necessary. -Just let it be.

-He doesn't want to. -I don't want to.

Overcome the boundaries in your mind.

Yes, but what about my boundaries?

Become one.

-Not necessary. -Seriously.

Touch him.

-He's naked. -I'm naked.

It'll help you.

-I'm fine. -I'm doing great.

What do you feel?

Hair.

Let yourself go.

Okay.

Can you feel the energy?

You're doing very well.

What thoughts come to your mind?

I feel...

very light.

Allow it to happen.

I sense fear.

Fear about your job.

Fear about your future.

You know you have to change something.

But you don't know how.

I sense a...

deep despair.

You can't go on

but you push it all away,

and you numb yourself.

You feel alone...

very...

alone.

How do you feel?

Good.

That's...

No, I'm doing good. That's...

my back, it's itching a bit.

I get that often when it's about to rain.

Something is weird.

How am I doing?

Good, actually.

The bathroom is there, right?

-What was that? -That was unbelievable.

You connected with him.

You were one.

Not many can do that.

We're going to open the next temple in Berlin soon.

Then Paris.

-Paris? -Paris.

Many of our customers like to be massaged by a man.

A young, good-looking man.

You've heard of sexism?

Can you do any accent?

-Danish? -Or Spanish?

What?

Let your hair grow.

I'd like that.

-Are you messing with me? -No.

We'll make you a unique job offer.

-A job offer? -Exactly.

You have the gift of touching people deeply.

In their heart...

and their soul.

Or do you want to install projectors for the rest of your life?

Hey, careful, I'm studying philosophy.

Does that make you happy?

We'll show you happiness.

Deep, true happiness.

And good pay including profit sharing.

I...

Think about it.

What's to think about?

They offered me a job.

-Okay. -He's got talent.

-I know that. -And times aren't getting any easier.

Wars, pandemics, inflation.

People need relaxation.

Yes, they need someone like you.

Sure, that makes sense.

You think so?

Yes.

You've created a little paradise for yourself here.

That was actually pretty intense just now.

And that was just the beginning.

You'll learn so much about yourself.

We no longer work just to just earn money or pay bills.

We want more. We want to create something that lasts

in our senses and is meaningful and fulfilling.

-Then it's not work anymore. -But play.

But there are also those who have to do the jobs that no one wants to do,

otherwise it's shitty for the general public.

Installing a projector, for example.

Yes, or garbage collection or whatnot.

Many jobs will also change dramatically in the future.

-Most of them will no longer exist. -But physical energy work remains.

That's for sure.

This is the oldest trade in the world.

No, just saying.

Why don't we go to the office and we'll show you our concept.

We can talk about everything.

Salary, extras, bonuses.

Sure, salary, extras, bonuses, everything.

Sure.

Can I drill?

-Mika, you know there are... -People who drill, and those who vacuum.

Exactly, so everyone has their place.

-Otherwise, there'd be chaos. -Exactly.

What?

Did you just call me Mika?

That's your name, isn't it?

And? Have you found your place?

Yes, well...

Maybe.

Do you remember the brain researcher at our first delivery?

-Sure, how could I forget? -Yes.

She was really eager about getting an even bigger TV soon.

Yes, they all want newer and bigger.

Yes, we could take advantage of that.

-How? -With a subscription service.

A subscription service?

Listen. We deliver, set up, and at the end of the subscription period

we deliver the latest device and set that up, too.

You said it yourself, people don't have things repaired, they replace them.

You could refurbish the replaced device

-and sell it again. -Exactly. And all of that including...

-An extended warranty. -Yes.

That's a good idea.

Awesome idea.

But you know...

I'm not the right person for it. Setting something like that up is...

Yes.

Yes, but what if we do it together?

What do you mean, "together"?

And what about the offer here now

-and your studies? -I've no idea.

I've learned a lot in the last few weeks.

Of course.

I mean, how nice it is to do something with your hands.

You know, it feels kind of right.

That's what I'm saying.

Hang on.

Do you really mean the two of us together? Really?

Yes, you and me, both as bosses.

-Both of us as boss? -Yes.

Yes, I don't know. I'd be the bigger boss, but hey!

-Fine with me. -Deal.

I'm glad you don't have testicular cancer.

Me too, dude.

You did learn something, partner.

Be careful with initial pressure.

Apply it with enough force, otherwise a crater will form.

By the way, I forgot to tell you, Mom is coming today

and we want to cook something at my place later.

I don't know, maybe you'd like to join us.

We could toast to our new business?

Mom? Your mother?

Hanna.

Viktor.

-Hello. -Hi.

-Shall we? -Yes.

Thanks.

Yes, this is Berlin, it's supposed to look like this.

-This way. -Thanks.

How are you?

Excellent. And you?

Good, good. And you see more of each other now?

-Yes, well... We... sure. -Nice.

Viktor? I...

Because we're alone for a moment...

I've been meaning to talk to you,

but somehow it was never the right time.

Especially now that you're getting closer, I...

-I think that's good. Really good. -Yes, I'm happy about it, too.

But I think you should just know now...

Since Mika doesn't know it yet and...

Well, it might be...

that Mika isn't your son.

Shit, man. Are those my parents?

-Hey. -And?

Good to see you. Come in.

Welcome.

-Flowers for you. -Are you serious?

-Sure. -Thanks.
