Original subtitles

Do those onions separately. -Separately?

Not everyone wants onions in an omelet.

Dad doesn't like that.

Son, that's not how you cut an onion.

Mom, please. My friends are here.

…like this. Otherwise you end up with awful big pieces.

Like this? -I can’t believe my son can’t cut an onion.

Really.

Shall we go and sit at the table?

No need to spray it deep into the toilet.

...just under the edge.

I’m not doing it myself.

We’ll set some money aside…

…and we'll get it done.

I have something to tell you.

You can do it yourself.

When I was in college...

...I didn’t make much of an effort.

Just spray it under the edge and it's fresh.

Done.

Ajani wants to say something. -It’s so expensive ....

You guys don't have a penny to spare.

No, but everyone loves beer. And when they start vomiting…

…I have to clean it all up.

There we have it.

Ajani wants to say a few words. -OK.

Well, yes… So what I wanted to say…

What is it?

I actually mean to say...

...that I‘m gay.

Yeah.

Really? -No.

Ah, well then.

Aw? What's the matter? What's …

Ah kiddo, there's no need for any of that.

What? What's the matter? Why are you like that?

No, I get that. Was that why you were so upset all evening?

You know, you don't need to make it so heavy.

Nothing's the matter, right? -We said that already.

If you want to tell it with us present. That's what buddies are for.

We're having a great time There's really nothing wrong.

I thought about it for so long. -Yes.

You know we just want you to be happy?

Exactly. -Were you afraid of what people would say?

You know we don't care what the neighbours say.

Oh, yeah?

No. You can just tell us.

I hear loads of stories.

I was fretting about it so much.

Yes, you were also acting so weird.

But that doesn't matter. We're just going to enjoy our meal together.

It really doesn't matter.

I'm going outside for a cig.

… doesn't matter to me.

OK -this one?

Yep, go ahead.

Yeah.

Fucking faggot!

OK, yeah. Hand brake?

Brake on, clutch in.

Like this? -Yeah, in one.

Yeah.

In one? OK. -Yes, that one in one. Yep, OK.

OK, take the clutch off slowly… It's already moving.

Yeah, great.

OK -Not so fast. Hang on, a bit slower.

OK. Like this? -Yes.

Yes, that's great. Keep it up. -OK.

Yes, keep it up. -Not faster?

No, wait I'll just do it…

…from below, like this.

Yes, keep it up.

Nothing.

Yep, it's really crazy. Yeah, man.

-Yeah? Yes!

Yeah. So, fucking sick.

Yeah, man, I got it anyway. -Yeah?

What am I supposed to do exactly? -Just keep looking ahead.

All the time? -Yep, just keep looking ahead.

What do you think?

Yeah, beautiful. -Yep.

Yeah, that look is beautiful.

Fucking cool.

If we add some western music.

Do I just have to keep looking straight ahead?

Yes, your kid is dead. -What?

Your kid is dead.

What do you mean?

Crooks.

And so I just stand here?

Yes.

Shouldn't I go after them or something?

No, you don't have to.

Or is he supposed to walk out of the shot here?

No, that happens after.

That comes next.

You need to shut up now. We're going to record.

OK.

Camera. -Camera's rolling.

Sound's rolling. -OK.

Action.

Well, that's nice for the parents.

What? -That some random guy

…in a weird coat is running around filming their children.

I'm not even wearing a coat.

Then what is that thing? -A blazer.

Terrific. That camera…

If I were you, I wouldn't get too close to a primary school.

Tom, something's wrong with the right speaker.

I think something's really wrong …

...if someone sees a kid, a camera and a blazer…

...and immediately makes a link to pedophile porn.

You better stay far away from the browser history of those people.

What did you say exactly?

I think something's really wrong …

…if someone sees a child, a camera and a blazer…

…and immediately makes a link to pedophile porn.

You better stay far away from the browser history of those people.

Yes, that's a mouthful.

By the way, nothing's wrong with that right speaker.

Jeroen just texted that he needs help with the snacks.

Yep.

Help me out for a sec. Hold it upright…

…otherwise it'll fall. -Yep.

Got it?

The cheese was free by the way. -Really?

Yeah, my dad helped that guy out one time…

…with a tax return or something.

Now this guy is suddenly being nice to me.

But at Hellegers, I had to pay full price for the sausage.

Shit, man.

I told him we had a première. Tried to get a discount.

The guy starts whining that you have to pay for snacks at a proper cinema.

Then he started moaning about…

…how people already had it so tough. So I just bought a sausage…

…and the rest of the snacks I bought at Ku.

And have you heard back from the invitations?

Yes, and no.

Johan Nijenhuis said he can't be there.

He did wish you good luck with the première.

And he hopes that you get accepted into film school.

And the cinema in Enschede?

Nope.

So no one who works in film is coming?

Yeah. Nope.

Hey, wanna beer? -Yeah, I'd love a beer.

If it's that old then you just trash it, right?

Yeah, you're right about that.

So, you like sausage, huh?

The really hard ones, right?

Makes you want more eh? I'll call him.

I can't eat…

…if you guys keep making those vile faggot jokes.

Mate.

What, it’s true.

We weren't talking about you or about your buddy.

I could have said something else, eh?

Man, get your retarded brain checked.

Hey, you can't say that!!

Tom!

Do you see anything?

No.

Does it hurt?

Not really.

We did make a great film.

Hi.

Hey.

Where's mum?

Mum, where's mum?

Mum is fixing things.

Mum is buying flowers...

...because you let things get terribly out of hand again.

Why?

You just...

You told someone to get their retarded brain checked.

They were mocking Ajani again.

That doesn’t justify your swearing.

And now your mother is the one to fix things again...

Why does she have to do that?

Because you let things get out of hand. All the time.

Goddamnit, always the same shit with you.

You could have at least shown up, goddamn it.

Hey. Chill.

Dude, they can hear that.

Dude, be quiet.

Dude, be quiet.

Tom?

Wouldn't it be more chill if you just came out of the closet?

I'm not in a closet, am I?

I'm bi.

I don't have to explain myself.

You could just tell them, right?

Once we're in Amsterdam, it's all gonna be different.

I just hope I'll get into filmschool too.

Hold this a sec.

Tom Olde Weernink speaking.

Yes.

OK.

OK.

Yes.

That’s great.

Yes, thanks.

Have a nice day.

Yeah.

We're going together!

Holy shit.

There is Central Station, I think.

I think it's actually that way. -It'll be OK, watch out.

Holy shit.

That's cool.

Thank you.

That's kind of cool. -Yes.

This is it. This is life.

This is my life. -Yeah.

Should I just stay put or?

Maybe, if possible in front of the stall?

OK.

Hey guys, get the fuck out of here.

Yes, I got it. -Are you deaf?

Give me a sec.

Sorry. -Sorry, sir.

Fucking great.

It really does work. -Yeah, right?

Go stand over there.

A little bit to your right. That's left.

Look at me.

And in the lens.

Yeah. I got it.

I am Mister Cock.

And what’s your problem?

I’m always tucked into a speedo or a jockstrap...

Should we get another beer for the road?

Don’t you want to go somewhere else now?

I don't know. It's all so expensive.

We could just watch a movie together?

OK, I'll grab my bike. -Yep.

Tom, leave your bike. This is Fer.

So where have you been? -This bar over there.

Oh no. Were you lost between all the boomers?

Sorry, but you shouldn't go there.

Maybe in the weekend, but today…

Yeah, we don't know anything here, so we ended up there.

And I see, it made you straight. It shows.

Where are you going?

I think Juul could put us on the list…

…of a queer party tonight. Juul?

Can you put us on the list tonight? -Already done.

Plus two? -Of course, join us. Hi.

Juul. -Tom.

We were just leaving.

We'll join, nice.

Juul, do you remember penthouse guy?

That's that guy with that… -Limo, yeah. He can pick us up…

thanks to yours truly, the best blowjob giver in Amsterdam.

What are you laughing at? Fuck you.

It’s free. We only have to pay for the minibar.

Did he fill that minibar? -Filling it as we speak.

I don't have that much money left.

Doesn't matter. Everyone’s chipping in.

Here 20, 40. -OK.

Thank you. Keep it coming.

Thank you. OK, that's enough I think.

A bit more?

Keep it, it's fine. Follow me. We're going that way.

Listen, Tom, this is really my party.

Hey sweetie. See you later, babe. Are you coming tonight too?

Are you coming too? Girl, I'll text you.

We're out and about tonight with the cutest gays from Amsterdam.

And check out what's been arranged for us!

A limo!

We made two new friends. Hello.

They're still a bit shy...

...but they know where they're off to, it’ll be fun.

Joey, bring on the champagne.

Meanwhile I'll get a shot of Fer's ass.

Yeah, content is content.

That’s definitely your best content!

So tonight we're going to this queer party…

…and I’m telling you all, come!

Because it’s going to be fucking amazing.

I hope to see you there.

Cheers.

Pretty solid car. You see these a lot in film-noir.

James Dean, he's… -I've seen bigger though.

You also have those Hummer-limos.

I was in Costa Rica for a gig and there was a fucking jacuzzi in the limo.

That was really fun.

Can I have a shot? -Take it, honey.

I see you looking, Ajani.

Can't we just say; "Ajaan"?

Ajani is a bit of a mouthful.

I always say Ajaan. -OK, what do you think?

Ajaan is fine.

But you don’t like vodka.

OK, I like this attitude.

Bottoms up! - Bottoms up, bottoms up!

OK listen, guys, when we get there,

we won't have to wait in line.

Hey guys, come on in. Have fun!

Have fun. -Thanks honey.

It's not an office here. -But I always wear this.

No, not here.

Does anyone want a beer?

Beer anyone?

I'm going.

OK.

Are you coming with me?

What? -Are you coming with me?

I wanted to stay a little longer.

But we have film history at 9.30 am tomorrow.

What? -We have film history at 9.30 am tomorrow.

Can't you call in sick for me?

How was it?

What did you do? -Some writing, but...

Try to relax, yeah? -Yeah.

Careful.

Is this OK? -Yes.

No stop, just stop.

Are you OK? -Yeah.

Have you got a lighter?

Enjoying yourself here? -Yes, absolutely.

But yeah…

Yeah, that's a good one.

Joan of Arc by Dreyer? -Yes.

It's so cool what they do with those eyes.

But you're going to watch that in cinema with your classmates.

Yes, but then I’ll know what to spot.

So you can brag, 'I've already seen this, I know what's going on'.

Why don't you just chat with your fellow students in the breaks.

Just make some contact.

Filming is about working together. I’ve told you before.

You're all first years and are all at the same level.

Fucking bullshit.

Yeah man. In script class no one...

…had seen anything by Andrei Tarkovsky.

Fucking Tarkovsky.

I don't believe that. -Seriously, not a thing.

And then I started talking about Ingmar Bergman and…

…there was someone who had seen Wild Strawberries,

but he thought...

They've probably seen films that you've never heard of.

No way.

Do you know Everybody Wants Some!!! by Richard Linklater?

No. -There you go.

There's a scene of a girl, on the first day of her musical course...

where she talks about how she used to be the best at musical.

And now she's at an academy where everybody is the best at musical.

So then you are no longer unique, and that’s OK.

Let it go.

No. Why are you cutting it here?

He's speaking here.

Yeah, so?

So you should see that, right?

Why?

Yes, because he is…

…speaking.

That dialogue is just dialogue.

What matters is what the main character thinks of it.

And that shows on his face.

If we cut to who's speaking everytime…

…it’ll be a fucking soap opera.

OK.

So, Command-Z? -Yes, just undo it.

And then…

But the other one… -Just put that other shot in…

Come in.

Sorry, I didn't know that you were both here.

Here, I'll get another one. -Are there drinks in the cafeteria?

I'll go get another one. -No.

I was going upstairs for a smoke, anyway.

Sure? -Sure.

I really need to keep editing.

Hey,

I wanted to invite Fer and the guys to my birthday.

Yeah OK.

Chill?

Yeah.

That's up to you, it's your birthday.

No, but I thought, because you had…

…gotten groceries already etc.

But I can get more, right?

Yeah.

Yes. No, well... I ran into Fer in the hallway…

…and then…

…he said maybe you wouldn’t think it's so chill…

…if all of them are there.

That it's just…

…all chill.

Yeah, sure. I'm pretty chill, right?

Yeah.

Maybe the two of us could celebrate it on another day?

Your birthday? -Yes.

On another day?

Yeah.

No, of course not. It'll be fine with all of us, right?

Yeah.

Chill.

I'll finish another small bit.

Does is come with glasses?

How many?

For a group of about eight people.

Are you going to drink beer tonight?

No, that's not for me. Jeroen is coming.

After two hours on the train, he'll be thirsty.

I was thinking, I think it's pretty shit that…

…I only get to make short films at the film academy.

I want to go to Berlin for that film plan.

Do you want to go to Berlin?

Yes, us together, filming?

Should we sneak out equipment from school?

Chill.

Go on.

Uh, yeah.

A gift.

Thank you.

I thought, it’s something you might be…

…looking for, maybe? -A jockstrap.

Do you want me to…

…wear this during sex? -No, not like that.

I thought, isn't that something, that comes from the gayscene?

Well, I guess.

No, give it back. I wasn't thinking right.

No, now I'm gonna wear this tonight.

Thank you.

We're here in the kitchen.

OK, cute.

Hello, bday boy.

Congratulations. -It's his birthday.

It's your birthday!

Congratulations. -Thank you.

Congratulations sweetie. -Thank you, nice you guys are here.

Yeah, great. -Very cute.

We got you a ticket to Milkshake.

We don't have it with us, because it hasn't arrived.

Thank you, that's cool! -You're welcome baby.

Are you guys coming with me…

Yes, of course. We first wanted to go to that mega…

…Mega Flikker Party. But the lineup is really disgusting.

Yeah, really gross. Anyways, you’re twenty?

Almost not a twink anymore, you know what they say.

Gotta get ripped! After twenty, you're dead as a twink.

I actually went to the gym just last week.

Please, shut the fuck up. Fer…

What’s this?

Victim is the first, English gay film with Dirk Bogarde.

We're not watching a black and white movie, are we?

We're not dead?

Joey, know your history! It’s important.

Can’t we watch YouTube, or Mean Girls ?

It's not my birthday. Ask him. -Whatever you want.

I also got cocktails by the way.

That's my cue! I'll help you.

You wanna do it here? -Yeah sure.

Let's see... -Just put it over here…

Just looking it up. I have it somewhere…

…here. How to do it right.

Three to four lemon parts...

Yeah, if you put this there… Great, and then take the strawberries...

How are you and Ajani doing?

Yeah, fine, good. -Yeah?

Yeah really.

If you’re uncomfortable, let me know, but…

…Ajani told me that you're bi.

You didn't know that? -No, otherwise I wouldn't ask.

Yep, that's right.

But are you really bi? Because…

…you would still sleep with a woman?

Well, no not now. I'm with Ajani now.

But then you're not bi?

Well I mean...

Don’t you think that you're in a denial phase?

Do you really believe that exists?

Being bi? Yes, of course.

But look, if at some point you... Well, to put it bluntly…

…have had cock…

... then that's what you want, isn't it?

So don't you... -I'm perfectly fine with Ajani right now.

It's fine, I don't need anything else right now.

Maybe someday, but I can't imagine that ever happening.

But we are all still super young.

We all have our needs.

So that might change someday, right?

But, we love each other now…

That is really sweet…

…and really great for you guys.

But at some point you might feel that need…

So it might be...

Maybe it’s time to open things up a bit.

No, we don't feel that need.

Well you don't ...

... but have you talked about it with each other?

No, but…

...if you love each other you stick together.

Maybe I've got it completely wrong, but...

...I just don't believe in it to be honest

Well, I do.

I also have... what's it called? Sex on the beach?

Oh dear God. -You want that?

Absolutely. -Yes.

Hey. -Yeah, dude.

How ya doing? -Yeah, good.

Congratulations to you!

I don’t know why I said that, it’s not your birthday.

There he is! Congratulations mate.

Thank you. -You don't need to open that

because they're spaghetti bowls. My mum said...

...students never have spaghetti bowls, but they eat it all week.

I didn't have any yet, so thanks.

Do you want a beer? -If it’s no problem?

OK, never have I ever...

...cum on someone's face?

Yeah, that's just normal.

You only drink when you have done it.

I know, I'm not an idiot, am I?

And I did cum on somebody's face once...

...because I had trouble aiming, I wanted to cum on her tits…

… and then I accidentally… y'know.

Yeah? -Yes.

Never have I ever…

...worn women's clothing. -Yes.

Boring…

No, honestly never.

That’s not my thing. -You’ve never done that?

Jesus, guys. When I was younger...

…I once wore my sister's clothes.

I don't think that's worth a sip.

No, that counts too.

No, that doesn’t. And why the fuck aren't you drinking?

OK! But it looked good on me, right?

I was there and I will literally never forget it.

OK, never have I ever… had an STD.

Fer…

Yeah, that's really not funny.

I mean it, that's not funny.

Whatever.

Never have I ever…

...let myself get rimmed when I wasn't sur if it was clean down there.

Jesus Christ. -No, not dirty.

No, listen. You're in the gym. You've been working out,

then that hot guy from Grinder texts you. You did shower, but…

…you're not going home to douche.

Well, that's different. -Why?

Because then you did just shower.

The only thing you didn't do is use an enema.

You don't let yourself be rimmed without an enema.

No, I don't agree with you, sorry.

I think it's fine if you've showered and eaten normally all day.

Whatever. -Guys?

If you just showered then you're clean.

You guys are fucking gross. -Well, sorry.

OK, never have I ever…

...stuck fruit in a place it doesn't belong.

Mate. -What?

I’m not touching that fruit basket of yours anymore.

You gotta try stuff sometimes...

That's not crazy, is it? -And you liked it?

Well, no.

Right…

OK listen up. I've got a good one.

Never have I ever had sex…

…with a tubby, or, less than an eight.

Juul. -I'm just saying.

This whole white guy frat attitude really doesn't suit you.

Really, not cool.

I'm going to drink and so are you. Thank you.

Me, definitely.

All this faggoty stuff.

I'm happy if I come home with a five and a half.

And with a six, I jump for joy.

And you said an eight? -Yes.

Then I've already cum before we've got our clothes off.

Come on. -Well you've never been to Twente.

Hell no.

OK, never have I ever…

…given a lap dance to a straight guy.

Yes. -Yes.

Fer... -I really want to drink,

...but I've never done that before. -Wow, well…

Go, Fer, OK.

Stay there. Don't move.

Stop messing around. Get off me. Don't do that.

Get off me, you’re nuts.

I told you I don't want that.

It was a joke. -Yeah, I'm not laughing.

Some sex slave’s ass in my face.

Mate.

What? You used to laugh at that too.

Slave?

Did you call me a slave?

I was kind of assaulted here. Take it easy.

Is it funny?

Tom? -Yes?

Say something.

Yeah, you can't say that?

You didn't even say sorry.

Should I just let them walk all over me? Just keep my mouth shut?

No, but… - Nice, man.

...you just can't say that sort of thing.

You agree with them?

Fine.

You can't say anything anymore these days. Gonna go home.

OK.

At least nice spaghetti bowls...

You just get drunk differently from craft beer.

If you compare fifteen lagers to ten triple, that's just different.

The hangover is just less aggressive, not as bad.

Same with wine... -What is this fucking ruin?

My God, not my style. -It's hard to find anything in Amsterdam.

Yes, it is, but this... How many people actually live here?

Tom, me and thirty others.

Thirty others? -Yep, don't exaggerate.

It's like a little Woodstock.

People died at Woodstock and it stank.

Juul has a room available in the city centre.

Juul lives in the city centre? -Yes, why don't you go over.. Juul?

Juul is downstairs.

Go and have a look tomorrow.

I'll arrange it, I'll fix it. You'll go see that fucking room.

And move away from Woodstock…

…and live in the centre. You're fucking welcome.

Thanks, man.

... Fer had never spoken to this guy. And he said, ‘Yo...

who the fuck do you think you are?

I talked to you once in the hallway maybe...

...and I don't know you.’

He went completely off on Fer at the club.

He said: 'Yeah, you're a dirty liar,

dirty faggot, blah blah'. Fucking dramatic.

And Fer says this drama happens all the time.

That the drama...

I think the guys thought you were cool.

I am fucking cool.

You know who also likes you?

This guy.

I was at a party and…

…I was talking to him, he was flirting a little bit.

And I said; 'Sorry, I have a boyfriend' and I showed him some pictures of you.

Then he said:

'OK, that’s your boyfriend? If you want…

...we could get together the three of us, and chill…'

Never mind.

Sorry.

It’s fine.

Yeah, come on in. -Come on in buddy.

Go ahead and sit down.

OK.

Tom…

Yes, this…

…isn't going to be …

…is going to be a bit of a difficult conversation.

OK, did I do something? -No....

...it's not that. We feel like…

… this is not quite the right place for you.

No. I really love it here.

We don't doubt that either. -No, that part…

… is not what it's about.

It's rather the…

…communicating, connecting…

…conveying to your actors, to the crew, what you…

…want to do. We had a conversation about that earlier.

And since that chat, there's hardly been any improvement.

OK, then I'll work harder on that.

Every year we receive 1200 applications for the directing class.

If we let someone go at the start of the year...

...we can let someone else step in.

That's the situation.

And you're not connecting with people.

That's what Zen has made very clear.

He sees you every day.

I don’t see you that often, but Zen does.

And that's it. You’re not connecting.

And that is essential at this academy.

You can have all the skills you want. You can…

…be the best director on earth...

...but if you're not connecting, you can't stay here.

That's…

But then...

…I can work on that?

I'll just try really hard.

You've been told several times and we can't see any change.

I was told maybe twice. I am…

...maybe I'm a little different…

…than the rest… -I am convinced…

…that you might become a director, but not here.

Why not here? -You’re not connecting.

I can work on that?

How can you just send me away?

Your moment is over. You're not connecting.

We can’t do... -So that's it?

So that's it? -Yes, that's it.

We can't do anything else… -What the fuck?

You can't just send me away?!

There's nothing more we can do for you Tom.

1200 applications… -Yes, 1200 applications…

…and I got in, and now I’m supposed to piss off.

That's just great.

Hey -Hey.

Juul is waiting inside. You really need to buy a Vespa, man.

I like to bike. Something happened at school.

What? - I'll tell you later.

I just have to hurry filming in Berlin.

Hey. -Hey darling.

How are you? -Good, how about you?

Hey. -Hey.

Sorry, I have to finish this. I was expecting you guys earlier.

Come on in. -Yeah, sorry…

No worries. I'll grab us some coffee.

Just go all the way up. -OK.

Until you’re sweating on top of the stairs.

God knows why my father didn't build a lift.

Holy shit.

It's really big.

Do you know how much it costs?

You can look straight onto the canal.

Fucking sick.

It's big enough for two.

That would be fucking sick, right? -Yeah man.

Coffee.

For you.

What the fuck?

I would do some painting.

It doesn't have a lot of light, but the location is amazing.

Yes, it is.

We could fit the two of us.

That’s not going to work.

My father doesn't want that.

Because of registration, and it's too crowded.

So that won't work.

Let’s not do it then, right?

And what if another room becomes available in the house?

That could happen...

…but you would still have to register separately.

Think about it for a moment.

Practical information, the rent is due on the first of the month.

You can move in the following weekend.

And just so you know, someone else is interested as well

...who wants it really badly. You're still the first choice, don’t worry

But keep that in mind.

Anyway, think about it. I'm downstairs, if you have any questions.

Yes. Thanks.

Let’s just do it, right?

I’ll live here first and if a second room opens up…

…you can also move in here.

Amsterdam centre, we'll never get this chance again.

Yeah.

But we'll be in Berlin for the film next week.

I've sorted the funding and the equipment already.

That’s too soon with the move. Can’t do it.

Then we'll just film in Berlin later?

That's not possible, with all the equipment and bookings.

I would love to go to Berlin with you, but…

…if I want to live here...

...I have a foot in the door. Fucking Amsterdam centre.

Where we live now is also OK?

Mate. A canal house.

I’m not buying it...

…these guys are all still studying…

…I am the last person they want when a room opens up.

Besides, I have to go to Berlin for that fucking film.

And you are supposed to go with me.

Seriously, man.

Hi, it's Tom.

Hi...

Everything okay?

Eh... yeah?

Ok.

The sound guy is asking if you recorded monophonic or polyphonic.

To send the files. How did you do it?

Polyphonic.

Polyphonic.

Everything okay?

Yes.

OK.

Well, I'll talk to you later.

Bye Tom.

Polyphonic.

Hi, Tom here. I'm…

Hey, Tom. -Congratulations.

How old are you now? -Nice that you're here.

I got you something in Berlin. -Sweet, you just came back, right?

Yes.

How did it go? -Yeah, it went well.

Yeah? -I think it's gonna be a great film.

I got some great shots, so…

And here? -Here? Same old.

Have you spoken to Ajani yet? Ajaan?

Hey.

His room turned out fucking nice.

We went to Lil Nas X together...

That was fucking sick.

Hey -Tom's here.

I thought Juul was at the door.

No, he's not coming. I already said that.

No.

I told you Juul wasn't coming anymore...

...because he's sick. -Why didn't Juul say that himself?

Because Juul is sick in bed. I’ve already told you.

Maybe you should learn to communicate.

How are you?

Pretty OK, and you?

Got some sick shots in Berlin.

Nice. -Yeah, well…

Didn't it work out? -Yes, but…

It would have been more fun with you.

Do you want a drink? Fer?

Please offer him a drink. -What do you want to drink?

Beer? -OK, I'll get a beer.

If you two want to talk in my room...

No, thanks.

Sure? -Yes! Just go get the drink.

How’s your new room? -Yes, super nice....

…everyone’s chill and it’s by the canal.

I know that. I was there with you.

Hey, Gino recently went on a sex date…

…and I have to know how it was.

I’ll go talk to him.

Talk to you later, OK?

Thanks.

Why aren’t you saying anything?

What?

I haven't seen you for a month.

So what?

You left.

And now I'm back, right?

Dude, you left so...

So what?

So...

Well...

What do you mean?

Dude, you left.

Fucking Gino wants to go to Club Church.

Gino?

Are you coming?

Sure. -Are you coming? Love that.

Are you coming?

No, that's not Tom's thing, like dark rooms and shit.

That's not your thing. -OK, whatever. An hour?

Fine, half an hour? -Half an hour. Let's go.

I'm coming. -Yeah? Nice.

OK, guys, Tom's coming to fucking Club Church.

This is going to be fucking epic, fucking fun. My God.

I have a fucking good story, listen…

...I get to this guy's home…

…and his whole house was full of Lego.

I swear. Star Wars, Harry Potter… It was crazy.

I thought: what the fuck? -That's a red flag.

No? -Yes it is.

That’s a pedo who forces young boys....

Hey Juul.

Juul.

Hey, happy birthday. -Hey.

Thanks.

Weren’t you sick? -Yes.

So what are you doing outside? -I'm better.

Have fun tonight.

Aren't you guys going in? -Just taking some G. Want some too?

Sure, what is it? What does it do?

It makes you chill and horny.

Hold on, is it your first time?

Here we go again.

That's a normal question?

OK. -Yes.

Let's take a walk.

You guys go take a walk. -Thanks Ajani.

Yes, I…

I don’t recommend doing it. You've been drinking.

It's your first time and you don’t need to do it.

But it makes you horny? -Yes, it makes you horny but…

Well, then I need it? -Look...

Club Church is just…

You can also just think…

You can go home and just chill out.

And just go to sleep, get it? -Yeah, but Ajani is there too?

Ajani is in a different place now.

And that's OK, you know?

You're a sweet guy, but… -So why can’t I come?

Tom, if you want to come with us…

I'm going to be honest with you.

You have to work on your posture.

And on your presence.

When you walk into a room people need to notice.

Right now, you seem super insecure. No offense.

Which you’re probably not at all.

When was the last time you worked out?

I don't know.

If you would work out... You're already white…

…and slim.

If you get in shape, physically and mentally...

…then you're at the top of the pyramid.

Pyramid?

You have the pyramid and at the top are white, muscular guys. Hunks.

And underneath are black, muscular guys and…

…guys like you, just basic. Below that you have old...

Asian, and fat men. You're none of that.

Give me that GHB. -OK.

How much? -Five euros.

Thanks.

Ajaan?

He's back. Tell them not to come.

How are you feeling?

How's it going?

OK, that’s good.

What's your name? Hey. What’s your name?

What's your name?

Tom Olde Weerink. -OK, Tom. What exactly did you take?

Beer. -You had more than beer, right?

Tom, what did you take?

GHB -OK.

Do you remember what time you last took some?

It's important that you stay focused.

Stay with me.

This is important, OK?

Do you remember what time you last took it?

No. -OK.

Really?

He pulled him up onto the stage?

My God, no way!

No.

Hey, I have to go. I'll talk to you later?

You have to send those pictures, I'm curious.

OK.

Hey.

How shitty that you passed out. -Yeah.

Thanks for waiting for me.

Yeah, of course. I was just around the corner...

…having breakfast with Fer.

There's a fucking chill restaurant around the corner where they sell bagels..

And it’s open in the morning when we’ve been out.

You have to try it.

Really fucking chill.

I actually want to go home.

I wanted to do a few more things in the city.

But I can drop you off at the tram?

Club Church.

Speaking of Amsterdam nightlife....

...that’s really top of the bill.

No real cool stuff happens after Church.

I mean, it's fun to go dancing or so....

...but you want to end your night at Club Church.

You can start at Club Church, but then you have no energy...

...to go any further.

There isn't anything that tops Club Church.

At least, you’d have to go to Berlin.

The scene there is fucking huge, like…

… entire neighbourhoods where you can go out.

I would like to get some coffee. Do you want some too?

I’m not OK with what happened last night.

Yeah.

You just didn't know what to use.

It happens to everyone.

Next time you'll know how to combine things...

...and you’ll enjoy being a bottom. Just free.

I'm getting a coffee.

I'll see you in a bit.

Hanneke, when are the boys coming?

They missed the bus.

But they should be here soon.

Are the drinks cool?

Yes, lager in the fridge in the garage.

You prefer a craft beer?

If it's no trouble? -No.

I prefer them myself too.

Then you didn't need to chill any lagers.

Why? -The boys don't drink lager.

Ajaan drinks wine and so does Marco.

Then I’ll put white wine in the fridge.

What kind of a guy is he?

Excuse me? -That Marco.

Ajaan is so enthusiastic about him.

Is he a sweet guy? -You can’t ask a guy that!

Why not? -What's he supposed to say?

‘He's a handsome guy?’

Just wait, they’ll be here soon.

Tom...

...do you have a girlfriend?

No, not yet.

And no boyfriend either. That's also possible for me.

I didn't know that.

You can't tell that by your looks.

With Ajaan you can tell straight away.

But you always wear ordinary clothes.

I don't know what to wear.

I only know what I shouldn't.

But I haven't met Ajani's boyfriend either.

But you've been very busy lately?

I think it's amazing what you're doing.

Really amazing.

And we saw you.

That interview on television.

You did that really well.

When is your film’s release?

It's going to the Rotterdam Film Festival.

In Rotterdam, right. -Yeah.

It’s a huge film festival.

We know.

Will your parents attend the premiere?

No, they’re not into that.

What?

What do you mean?

It is quite a long drive…

But you have to be there, right?

How often do you get to attend a premiere in Rotterdam?

Yes, it’s a pity. but I can't force them.

My father prefers to watch soccer.

That's just the way it is.

It’s indeed a pity.

It’s really special.

My colleagues were even talking about your film...

...and they said it was very nice that...

There they are.

Look, honey.

You lost so much weight!

Come in.

How are you? -Fine, how about you?

Fine.

This is Marco. -Hi.

I’m Marco. -Tom, nice to meet you.

I’m a friend of Ajani.

We went to film school together. -Cool.

It's beautiful here. -Thank you.

It smells so good. -I still have to put the meat on though.

Tom, move a bit to the side.

No, take the next seat.

Is that a Herman Brood painting?

Cool. -You recognize it?

Yes, Is it real?
