Shushi!

TABU Es ist DIE SEELE ein Fremdes AUF ERDEN

You do not have to look. He is not there.

Maybe in the next train. Hm? My girl!

"Sister!"

"Since I found you ..."

"... in a lonely clearing of the woods ..."

"... and lunch was ..."

"... and big the silence of the animal ... "

"Great dying."

"The singing flame in the heart."

"Hour of grief."

"It is the soul a stranger on earth."

"It is the soul a stranger on earth."

"Under dark firs ..."

"... two wolves mixed her blood ... "

"... in a stone hug."

"Dark love of one wild sex, ... "

"... on golden wheels ..."

"... the day rushes away." Shushi!

"Silent Night."

Come over! Let's do that, what you pay me for! Hm?

At least I can.

I can do that today can not afford anymore. Then go!

Hey! You forgot something!

Frau von Schwarzenstein! Nice, that you came! Thank you!

Good evening! ... Mrs. Hader!

Do not worry! It will start soon.

Professor Br�ckner! Good evening!

You can naked from me play. But you play!

Only when he comes!

He is writing exams next week.

Since when was that important? Since he gets no more Apanage.

Do not just stand me now in front of the people!

You do not do that to me.

Br�ckner!

He is here in Salzburg?

He conducts the commissioned concert.

Oh! All refusals ...

That I could not pretend that you have caused!

Stay in Salzburg, Grete! Secretly! And give in,

- if there is no other way. Just like you!

That's enough!

Hi Papa!

She does not let you in. Ne?

Come!

Your technique is brilliant. But ...

That's nothing special.

It is the heart,

- that raises you above others. Be careful!

Yes and?

From September in Vienna.

You did not expect anything else! Oh thank you!

Thank you! That means a lot to me.

They do not just have a gift. This is an order!

Take this seriously!

Her brother.

I thought, you are not coming.

Almost half a year and not a single letter, Georg!

I wrote a hundred.

And no one clever. ... Be happy!

I'm coming to Vienna.

To Br�ckner in the master class.

From September already.

It's all set, Georg.

It is settled!

You do not do this!

To the academy!

Lord God! How could you allow that? You're drunk.

Alone in Vienna! In your age! She was the youngest in the boarding school.

Vienna is not a boarding school, mother! And she is not a child!

You do not want that? ... Very well!

Then tell her! She listens to you.

I sent you texts. A while ago.

Your father has your undergraduate degree maintained.

And now? You saw him.

It is never right. Hm?

No matter what I do!

Your laudanum.

Without prescription. As always!

"Over the white pond -"

"- are the wild birds gone away. "

"Dreaming among white willows, -"

"- cheek our cheeks yellowed stars, - "

"- bows her forehead in past nights. "

"Over our graves bends the broken forehead of the night. "

"Our faces are always staring to our white graves. "

"The bare walls are ringing the city."

"The white walls always sound the city."

"Oh, my brother!"

That ... That's what you write.

But then ... Then you want not me.

We were kids. ... We were lonely.

God, Gretl!

Look! We are but got away.

"Stepping out of blue mirror the slim figure of the sister. "

Give it to me! "He fell dead in the dark."

Give it right away!

"It's ringing the night in the warehouse our kisses. "

"It whispers where:"

"Who blames you?" Be quiet!

"Still shaking of wicked lust ... "

Be quiet now! No more word!

"Under the dark bow our melancholy, ... "

"... play the shadows in the evening deceased angel. "

"Under the dark bow our melancholy, ... "

"... play the shadows in the evening deceased angel. "

"Dreaming among white willows, ..."

"... cheek our cheeks yellowed stars. "

Where is the ointment for the Hofrat? He sends now for the second time!

In progress. Everything in work. Jesus, Mary!

I have the store full!

Are you crazy?

"Just a suggestion."

"For the music with words. ... Do not be angry!"

"Grete."

That she dares!

"The white walls always sound the city."

"Under the arch of thorns, ..."

"... Oh, my brother, we'll do it blind hands at midnight. "

"The white walls always sound the city."

"Yes! ... Yes, they sound."

"The blades, the white walls. "

Over the white pond ...

... are the wild birds ...

... pulled away.

"Are over the white pond the wild birds have moved away. "

"In the evening, blowing from our stars an icy wind. "

"Over our graves bends the broken forehead of the night. "

"Under Oaks -"

"- we rock up a silver boat. "

"The white walls always sound the city."

"Under a thorn arch, oh my brother, ... "

"... we clip blind pointers at midnight. "

Nice, not?

Hey! You owe me a dance!

Now dance with her!

Yes exactly! Once!

You always have to win. Huh?

So then ...

Ha! ... Shushi!

I wanted ...

I have to tell you something.

Yes, then say it!

Oh! I can not. I can not say anything.

Is that the possibility?

Can you sometimes to think of something else?

Barely.

And you have me withheld for so long?

"A little man stands in the forest -"

"- very quiet and mute pure purple a cloak. "

"Say who likes -"

"- be the little man ..." Watch out here!

Gretl!

Take care that you do not slip!

Gretl!

Do you think that's it is a sin?

I dont know.

I do not care.

"It's ringing the night in THE warehousour kisses."

"It whispers where:"

"Who blames you?"

"Still shuddering from wicked Sweetness sweetie. "

"We pray:'Forgive us, Mary, in your favor! '"

"Climb out of flower bowls greedy scents. "

"Caress our foreheads -"

"- pale with guilt."

"Dulling under the breath the sultry airs. "

"We dream:'Forgive us, Mary, in your favor! '"

"But the spring is noisier the sirens. "

"And the Sphinx sticks out darker in our debt, ... "

"... that our hearts sound sinful again. "

"We sob:"

"Forgive us, Mary, in your favor! '"

You're doing it all right.

My whole life. You're upset.

Georg!

Georg!

Georg!

Where are you?

You do not know what I mean for a longing for you.

Even now, where I have you always can have.

You have no idea.

It does not stop, Gretl.

On the contrary. It is getting more and more.

I want to be a whole.

A whole, instead of two halves.

I want that, ...

... since I can think.

What are you doing? Two exams. Yesterday Today!

Want to throw the semester?

I thought that was over.

Then it starts again!

I do not know what you have.

They are good. Quite well! "Quite well"?

They are no good. My whole life is no good.

I have too much ballast. Look at me!

Am I a pharmacist? Not in life!

Nobody gets tired of words. Not if they are no good.

That does not stay that way. Have faith! It pisses me off.

I need a place in the World. Otherwise I will go under.

That makes you ready!

The poison, that bullshit! That's the ballast in your life.

Oh come, Ludwig! Get lost!

Again tomorrow! Professor Br�ckner!

Forgiveness! Grete Trakl.

Of course that's different. Miss Trakl!

For you tomorrow is not and not the day after tomorrow.

For the winter semester then. ... Perhaps!

But because of the few days. Three weeks!

I just did not have time.

Oh, that happens! Naturally!

But now you are here!

I wish you success! No!

Please do not! My course is full.

Try it in finger technique or auditory exercise!

Everyone wants to compose. But not everybody does it!

I can not wait wait for winter.

Nobody has seen it yet. Take a look!

You're welcome! Your work?

Well rested?

Now it is enough!

Get together! Ten minutes and back out!

You were in America?

Yes. ... It was a concert.

Negro music!

I have to go!

Do not you hear it? I can do it. I feel it.

I write it down. Very easily. But it is still missing

- too much and ... They lack discipline.

And a little modesty.

Tuesday Wednesday, Thursday ten o'clock!

I had hoped, that they come!

Where do you want to go, miss?

To Mr. Trakl. Exactly!

No ladies visit! I am his sister.

There is not just one publisher!

I'm coming to nothing more. If you are not there, -

- and when you are gone. Not a line in 3 weeks.

Why all this? The main thing, somebody's to blame.

I'm too much and too much away. What should I -

- first apologize? It is too much.

I can not breathe.

Too much now?

You stay there!

What did you think?

Did you think you came here and everything will be fine?

As in a fairy tale?

As in a dream? Like in a nice dream?

This is not a dream, Gretl!

Yes. Not for me. There is not only you!

There is also what I want. You do not know what you want!

I do not hide a life long. Not even for you!

And that should help, yes?

Alright!

Ow! Please do not!

No! You're welcome!

Excuse me!

Sorry, Gretl!

I am sorry!

Do not touch it, yes?

You're welcome! ... never touch it again!

Promise me!

Let me go!

What? ... I ... you?

You can not let go of me. That's how it is!

What happens to us, Georg?

I can not do that invite me, Gretl.

Not always more and more.

So ... not a word!

Georg!

Georg!

No, Gretl! No!

Make room for me now! ... I'll contact you.

No, not so!

So you do not get away from me!

So! And now we try it in my own way.

A cognac!

Oh! Already closing time?

No way! Two hours to go. Tomorrow is toll.

Shut up, Ludwig! So you thank me?

Exception for good leadership!

Hey, Kokoschka! It's your turn. You are still missing.

Hm? ... It seems to be good for you.

Whoever she is, she gets percent.

You're a real pig, Schubeck.

Do you know that?

Thank you, Ludwig!

Licking my ass, you bigots philistine!

Your reactionary bastard! Hey, Kokoschka! Slowly, yes?

Hands off! Shut up! Leave me, you bastards!

You've all been rotten by now.

There you are. You live no more. Damn it!

Alma!

Wait, Alma!

Who says it?

A human under rats!

Alma! ... wait!

Alma! Alma! The Kokoschka?

Like behind a bitch in heat. He powdered the wrong ones.

And nobody looks after him.

Thank you very much!

I'm so happy, Margarete.

I have never been so happy for anyone others. It is strange.

But nice!

A nice feeling.

Today they are coming!

This is the third day, Georg. I do not want to any more.

Georg!

Werfel, Schnitzler and Rilke.

Oh! Now he has again a new novel.

George, please! Whether today or tomorrow does not matter. There! Here it is.

Here! Georg Trakl! That is my book.

It's me. This is me. ... Here please!

Help me! Everything is wet here.

Gretl! ... Gretl!

What do you want?

See if you still live.

You see it! You can not run away forever!

What you do not say.

And what does he want?

Professor Br�ckner. ... My brother Georg.

We met. Volatile.

Forgive me! I'll come then for the second hour.

Gretl! Gretl, please! I am sorry!

I was rough. I look too often only on myself.

But that does not mean, that I do not know. What?

What you can do and what it means and how much that is.

I am really proud of you.

You can hide it well. Otherwise you will become too conceited.

Douchebag! Right!

But only because it is me it works so well.

Is not it a bit narrow?

You little bitch!

They are all gone. All! Only one is still there.

They are all sold. All!

They are all gone!

But people are reading today also every trash.

That's all thanks to you. You do not know how much.

I'm fine, Gretl. Everything! I swear!

I thought, you do not come anymore.

No?

No.

Everything will be different now, Gretl.

If I succeed ...

... and money ...

Finally money, Gretl!

We travel, live in the best hotels.

Everything is possible with money.

I do not need stupid money.

I just need you!

That will become you then already liked.

I actually wanted wait with it.

What shoud that?

That's Australia.

That's the other side of the world.

That's paradise. ... alone!

What is?

Why not?

Maybe because nobody is there understands except you?

Amazing!

Exactly!

For wedding cards. Some do that.

This is printed. She is my sister!

There comes some dork and you pull the tail!

The dork knows half the city. Yes and?

A fucking scared you have.

A fucking scared! You have to look at what's possible.

Shall I hide like one? mangy dog? We have to get away!

I need my language! Never too close.

Just never get full!

Either way or not. If it suits you, get me.

And in between, I'll be the best invisible. Yes? Like this. Yes.

And what will happen to me?

Where do I still happen?

You have to know that yourself!

And tomorrow?

I do not know yet.

Perhaps!

Good day!

And then she stops me again.

For days, weeks.

She is married. Not?

But that's not it.

No. ... She is waiting.

She waits for me at her door scratch like a running dog.

And then she sits me model.

So! Do you understand, Trakl?

And only sometimes, ...

... seldom, she gives herself really.

And I like a dork.

As if there were only one in the world.

Only they!

And how do you handle that?

That it will not change?

That they never will heard completely?

How do you do that?

To become insane.

Work.

And also ...

If I really had her, that ...

That would be terrible. Because longing ...

Longing is the biggest motivation.

Fulfillment is a shit. Or?

What do you want? Do you know me, Trakl?

Again and again you ask the same things.

Who is this really?

My sister.

It's my sister!

That's wonderful, Trakl.

It's perfect.

You become a very great poet.

They are getting big.

"In the beautiful -"

"... The month of May, ..."

"... as all -"

"... Buds jumped."

Already the tied up prelude -

- in the piano part at the beginning of the song implies sadness.

A heartbreaking idea of Downfall.

Look who we got there?

The sister!

Thank you! With pleasure.

Kokoschka. I am with your brother known. As far as that is possible.

You invited her. What?

Damn idiot!

Are you crazy? Do you want it? spoil with all?

Are you scared, Ludwig? That I no longer need you?

You make it hard. Yes? Yes. What should I do?

To make you easier? Say! Come over!

Now tell me!

Come over!

Where to? Home. To me or to you? Take care, you!

He's my brother. He is my brother too.

He is my dearest! Be quiet!

I'm not lying anymore. Did you Roger that? A woman.

We need a wife!

Is no one daring?

Gretl, go now! You're welcome!

Why, Shushi?

Tell me here! tell me once in front of everybody!

Because I rest wants.

Because I finally mean mine Wants to have peace in front of you.

Then you better go now! Not without you!

Here!

What should I do?

Well uh ...

Get free!

You're welcome!

Living sculpture.

Who knows something, ...

... calls

- and win.

"The adoration". This is "The Adoration".

Rodin. Autumn salon Paris last year.

Bravo! Bravo!

I'll kill you, you!

Stupid dog! Georg! Leave it! He is crazy.

So you! Hm?

It was only her.

I really never knew you.

And it stays that way now.

Pack your things! Tomorrow you are out.

She is so much younger.

And she is my student. My interest -

- it was only about the music. That's not a reproach, Professor.

It's just a request.

How old are you, Professor?

Old enough. Old enough,

- just to encourage, who is really worth it?

Old enough to be a family to found?

Away from everything here?

In another city? Maybe in the country?

Your sister will be me do not marry. She will!

Because she always did what I want.

And this once it will be be good for her.

Force them to reason!

It is her only chance.

Thank you!

Hello, Mom!

Did Georg send you? Who visits you in the night?

Schubeck.

Schubeck?

Yes and?

The landlady saw him, Grete!

Whom?

You tell me!

Oh! Such a nonsense.

And the?

I tried you keep. Always!

To the boarding school with six already. And the holidays abroad.

But you with your defiance wanted to go to Vienna!

God is my witness. I was against it.

What do you say?

Say it!

Oh God! You knew it.

You always knew it. From the beginning.

No. No. Oh but! You knew it!

No! You let it happen.

You left us alone. Even with it! Why?

I ... did not know anything!

Go away! Go away!

I ... I am you nothing more.

I am no longer anyone Guilty.

Only myself. I want you to win, Gretl.

At least you! You have what it takes.

Marriage Br�ckner!

This is your last chance.

That kills him.

He can not stand that.

I'm at the hotel, until I go home.

What does the doctor say?

Do not be sad!

He says it can take at the ... first.

A year. Often longer.

What is this?

Latest method! Oh come!

That will be fine.

Is there something for me?

Lobmann asks if you are this time play at the summer concert.

No!

That is such a waste! A shame!

I can not stand there anymore. Then look elsewhere!

You have to play again! I just have to die someday.

Let me help you! I can help.

A reading. ... His first reading!

Never do that, never again!

We wanted to go to Bayreuth on that day. What does he want?

Again money? I telegraph him. He asked you once!

Out of necessity. He needs me there.

He's my brother. And I am your husband.

We talk tomorrow. And if I say no?

Forgive!

You're welcome!

I just wish it had once to do with me.

I can not find anything you almost as moving,

- like everything with him related.

But probably I am very badly missed.

And I can ... give nothing.

Nothing!

"It's a stubble field, into which a black rain falls. "

"It's a brown tree, lonely. "

"It's a breeze, the empty huts orbiting. "

"How sad this evening."

"Collecting past the hamlet the gentle orphan - "

"- still sparse ears."

"Her eyes are round and golden - "

"- at dusk."

"And her lap is waiting of the heavenly bridegroom. "

"When returning home found the shepherds "

"- decay the sweet body in the thorn bush. "

"I am a shadow -"

"- distant dark villages."

"God's silence ..."

"I drank the silence of God from the well of the grove. "

"On my forehead "

"- enters cold metal."

"Spiders are looking for my heart."

"It is a light, "

"- that goes out in my mouth."

"At night I found myself on a heath, "

"- staring at filth and dust of the stars. "

"The hazel bushes sounded again crystalline angels. "

Grete? Did you see that?

My God! Have you heard, how to clap?

Sorry, Gretl! I am so happy.

So incredible ...

Just glad.

Thanks, Gretl!

This is my sister.

Oh, you are that!

I am very pleased.

Should we go home? Yes, we drive.

Gretl! ... Gretl! Now wait!

I have to get up early tomorrow. Tomorrow is Sunday!

Do you want to show me more? here? What do you rhyme together?

That nothing is forever. Gretl! We need to talk.

But I can not leave now. No. Because your friends are here.

Your new, good friends! No! That's not possible!

But after that maybe.

Later! ... Who knows?

Stop! ... Stop!

It's just fine. It is not the time.

Come over!

Grete! I am always scared.

Every day.

If you are satisfied too.

If I do not get too much from life and you too little.

What else can I do, Grete?

You have done everything, Georg.

That's enough for a life!

Did you really mean you come from it?

Then take care now, Georg!

This night ...

That was just too much!

From today I need you no more.

Because from today I am not alone anymore.

Do you understand?

Never alone!

You did not do that!

That must not be!

It is the biggest sin!

Then it suits us.

A whole ... Do you remember, Georg?

A meat.

Now it is time!

Who in God's name are you?

I am who I always was.

Only you are different.

You forgot everything.

Ouch!

I am happy.

Here to me!

I want too.

Exactly, me too!

Aaah!

Where is she?

Do not touch me! Take your bastard fingers from me!

Go away! Get lost! It is my child. It belongs to me. Go away!

Leave me in peace finally!

Go away! ... Side walk!

Leave me in peace! Get lost!

Out! ... go out, Br�ckner!

You're welcome!

Go please!

Sleep now!

That you ...

... get well soon.

You have to get well!

He does not know.

He thinks it's his child.

He must not know it!

"It's ringing the night in the warehousE our kisses. "

"It whispers where:"

"Who blames you?"

"Still shuddering from wicked Lust sweetie. We pray:"

"Forgive us, Mary, in your favor! "

"Climb out of flower bowls greedy scents. "

"Caress our foreheads pale with guilt. "

"Dulling under the breath the sultry airs. "

"We are dreaming:"

"Forgive us, Mary, in your favor! "

"But the spring is noisier the sirens and - "

"- the Sphinx sticks out darker before our fault. "

"That our hearts are more sinful sound again. "

"We sob:"

"Forgive us, Mary, in your favor! "

It is your fault, when she dies!

They killed her! So, with that, -

- with it, with it! There was always only you.

They only loaned it to me. Only a part of her.

You knew it?

No.

No.

I only know it since yesterday.

She was talking feverishly and she was ...

... very precise!

How can you? deal with it?

Why?

Top Grade!

Why?

I dont know.

There was no choice.

You are a monster!

No matter what I do, I can always just lose!

I do not like anymore.

Maybe it does not always work for winning.

Rather?

To endure.

I do not know. To understand.

You are put in its place.

You can not choose it. Oh no?

But you!

Did not you always have what did you want from me?

What I wanted most, I never told you that.

Because you would have given it to me!

A long time ago.

Do you understand?

You would have gone with me.

Also there!

Life scares me more as death.

Always.

For everything else forgive me!

Forgive me, Gretl!

Not for me, but for you.

Make your peace with the world!

And then?

Then you'll see it once ...

... once really ...

... The life.

Without me.

In freedom!

So then!

One more thing, Shushi!

There is no Last Day!

And no guilt beyond death.

Everything is focused here.

You get everything here, and you pay everything here.

After that there are

nothing more.

Only peace and light.

I know it, Georg.

I felt it.

I was almost there!

Georg Trakl joins the army

the First World War

and takes his life on

6 November 1914 in

the garrison hospital of Krakow.

Three years later, on November

21, 1917, Grete succeeds him.
