Original subtitles

That's me, Fritz.

And this here is Rudi, my best friend.

My name is Ayla.

For a girl, she is really nice.

This is my dad, Daniel.

He is totally cool.

And this is my mama, Semra.

The two have fallen in love.

Melinda does not like Rudi.

She's such a girly-girl.

Hey, she is my sister.

We all live in Grandma Betty's and Grandpa Oskar's house.

Grandma acts like a boss with difficulty, but

she makes the most delicious potato pancakes.

And Grandpa, he is always on our side and never complains.

There's always something going on in Engelsbach.

And we're always fully involved.

Oh yes, and Rudi?

Rudi is the fastest pig in the world.

Rudi?

There you are.

The show is about to start.

Hey Rudi, stay here.

You know, Dad gave an interview.

And that's coming up on TV.

You don't want to miss that, do you?

It's about the fact that at some point people will fly to Mars.

That is a huge planet up there, very far away.

And dad is an expert.

So that we can see you streak-free.

I am so proud of you.

Oh mom, do you only have one TV appearance?

I informed everyone in Engelsbach.

Everyone will see you.

Really?

I was just able to stop her from

that I distribute flyers from the church.

Oh, nonsense.

You absolutely have to burn a DVD of it for me.

So that those at home can also see what

for a German celebrity I have lived here.

Hey, then Dad will become famous in America too.

Quiet, it's starting!

It begins!

But you still have to burn them for me today.

Tomorrow at this time, I will already be on the plane home.

The universe.

Endless vastness.

Infinite mysteries.

Soon, people will fly to Mars.

We are guests at Daniel Fröhlich, one of the.

Astronomers working on the Mars mission.

That's dad!

Do you actually believe in aliens, Mr. Fröhlich?

Haha, aliens?

It's quite possible that there is life somewhere in the universe.

But no little green men, if that's what you mean.

Rather?

I don't know.

You?

Yes.

Maybe the little green men are not green at all, but yellow.

Little yellow men?

Wasn't that mean at all.

Should be a joke.

And she takes that seriously.

Oh, that sounds like they have new insights about life on Mars.

Uh, I can't say anything about that at the moment, but let yourself be surprised.

And suddenly it seems like a door opens in space into a new one.

They claimed there are aliens.

A door into the world of our neighbors.

For in the boundless universe, the distance from Odis to Mars is nothing.

Further than from our front yard to the house next door.

My goodness.

Daniel Fröhlich is a respected scientist who knows what he's talking about.

Why should aliens always land in America?

Here in Engelsbach, they would indeed find ideal conditions.

Oh, no.

Great landscape.

They edited it together in such a way that it

sounds like I meant that seriously.

That is such an outrage.

You can't let that slide.

What is that?

The renowned Mars expert Daniel Fröhlich revolutionary events...

What kind of nonsense did you tell, Papa?

And could let knowledge appear in a completely new light.

She asked me when the Mars mission is exactly starting.

Then I said, let yourself be surprised.

Then cut the sentence back in at another point, so that it

sounds, as if I had said, in Engelsbach.

Little yellow men from Mars will soon land.

That's exactly how it sounds.

And this is not about science fiction.

Oh, God!

Apparently, the scientists around Daniel Fröhlich have already detailed.

Findings about our extraterrestrial super... future.

Aliens.

In our area in Engelsbach.

Not in China, Japan, or America, but in the hilly landscape of the.

The course of our common future is being set in the Bergisches Land.

Yes?

Udlhofen?

Oh, Karin!

Yes, yes, I see it too!

Well, can you believe it!

Just imagine, Speedy.

The little yellow men really know.

Yes.

That would be cool.

With these sensational revelations we conclude

the current show and say goodbye to you.

I think you really looked great.

You must complain to the broadcaster.

Exactly!

They all think you're crazy otherwise!

Huh?

Oh, dear.

My boss, he must have seen it too, if he thinks I'm crazy.

And he will.

Then I can forget about my promotion.

Maybe you shouldn't have made jokes in front of the camera.

Yes, now it's my fault, or what?

I didn't mean it that way at all.

Call him now.

I'm supposed to explain this to myself!

Come, Rudi.

Let's go see if the aliens have already landed.

You mean that seriously now, or?

No, that was a joke.

Happy?

Oh, hello, Anna.

Yes, of course I saw it.

No, I don't know when the little yellow men will land in Engelsbach.

Yes, I could of course ask Daniel, but at the moment it's a bit inconvenient.

They really seem to believe it.

I know my Engelsbachers.

They think if I were an alien, I would be nowhere.

Somewhere else landed, than in my beautiful Engelsbach.

Yeah, I also thought he looked really great.

Just stop by for coffee sometime.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes, goodbye.

Such a stupid little red one.

They will pass on my concern.

I didn't mean just now that you shouldn't make jokes.

Of course, you are not to blame for what they made out of your interview.

I was just in a bad mood because it sounded like I was... A weirdo?

Yes.

Maybe the TV people just make us angry,

because someone kept interrupting during the interview.

Or because I had to leave so quickly.

Or... no idea.

Could be.

Maybe they just wanted one too

more exciting stories than your Mars mission.

I find the Mars mission very exciting.

More exciting than small yellow extraterrestrials?

How she looks, you probably have to

to marry as a nutcase.

Gladly.

And sweetheart, you are.

Dad told me that aliens are quite.

Certainly would not look like us.

More like little bacilli.

Rudi, maybe they look like you too.

Okay, Paul, see you later.

I don't know yet if you'll get a goodbye kiss.

We'll See.

Until then, bye bye.

Here, I wanted to give this to you as a farewell gift.

You liked that one so much.

Oh, for me?

Oh, Ayla, thank you.

Du bist so süß.

So you don't forget us.

Forget you?

Niemals.

I will have so much to tell at home about you crazy people.

I also have something for you.

Here.

Whoa, thanks.

She is from Mexico.

It is really beautiful.

And I now also have an idea of what to give your parents.

Hello?

Oh, hi, Lucas.

Yes, sure, we'll see each other today.

I can't go away without having seen you once more beforehand.

Okay, then see you later.

Goodbye.

I thought you were meeting with Paul.

Yes, also.

Farewell tour.

Hello?

Oh, hi, Benni.

Sure, see you tonight.

I don't know when yet.

When do you want to then?

Yes, I also find it a shame that I have to leave again tomorrow.

Yes, but I'm sure I'll come back again sometime.

Mhm.

Yes, we are meeting this evening to celebrate a bit of farewell.

Come along too.

Beautiful.

Yes, I will tell all my friends in America.

Tell about what nice boys there are in Germany.

Okay.

See you later then.

Bye bye.

Why are you so sure that there are no aliens?

I'm not saying that there aren't any, just

they are definitely not little yellow men?

And they certainly don't come in flying saucers.

But there are people who have already seen such UFOs.

Yes, but Dad said that those were almost always I-Fus goods.

I-Fus?

Yes, identified flying objects.

In contrast to UFOs, the so-called unknown flying objects.

These were mostly just hot air balloons in the sky.

How about the one where she flew recently?

Yes, and people thought they were for UFOs.

See, I told you so.

Sometimes they were just headlights or shooting stars.

But do you really think it is completely impossible that there are aliens?

No, not at all, so...

The universe is so big, it would be rather strange if

the Earth is the only place where there is life.

See?

Yes, but maybe the aliens live

yes millions of light-years away from us.

Unlikely that we will ever get to see her.

So, Rudi, I'll make your dinner now.

The thing with the interview really went badly, didn't it?

Yes.

But there's definitely a person up there.

Mom!

Our Andrea star.

I allowed Kate to stay out a bit longer today.

After all, it's her last evening.

She also finally has to say goodbye to all of Engelsbach.

I think, more from the Engelsbacher Boys.

Do you have the guest list for our wedding?

Yes.

That's at least 100 names.

Do you want to see the list of family members I am not inviting?

We got lucky, didn't we?

What do you mean, Rudi?

How many stalls are up there, I wonder?

Millions?

Billions?

Look!

Yes!

Trillions!

Oh, a shooting star!

Or a UFO.

That can't be true.

Man, Rudi, I need to sleep.

It's Saturday, after all.

You are here, Betty.

Who?

Just like your Daniel said.

And my tarot cards too.

Morning, Mama.

What's going on here?

What kind of gathering is this?

Ah, good that you're coming, Daniel.

That's so extraterrestrial.

They have landed.

Here you go?

Yes.

Just as you prophesied.

Did something happen?

Wait, what did I prophesy?

Well, that the little yellow men will land here in Engelsbach.

And now they are here.

In the middle of the cornfield.

And I already thought it was something bad.

I'm out of here.

Is that a joke, or?

No, that's not a joke.

We saw it ourselves.

What did you see?

A huge impression.

From a UFO in the field by Vollmer.

He must come along immediately.

So, just so I understand this correctly.

You actually believe that aliens have landed here in Engelsbach?

And that's a day, after I supposedly did something like that.

In a television interview have claimed?

Rudi, have you seen my pants?

Oh, this here.

Don't you think that would be a really strange coincidence?

So, when the little yellow men build spaceships.

Can, then they should be able to build a television too.

Exactly.

They may very well have understood your words as an invitation.

Just as you have praised our beautiful Engelsbach.

So, if I were an alien... Watch how he gets out of there again.

Well, where is the UFO then?

Well, up here.

Did you hear that?

Yes, extraterrestrials.

They're crazy.

Why?

That would be great.

If extraterrestrials have indeed landed in our beautiful Engelsbach,

then that would of course be a wonderful opportunity for us,

to make our village known to the public.

Yes, exactly.

Engelsbach, where aliens go on vacation.

Just imagine that, folks.

Masses of tourists would come to us.

The Hoffnungsbergers could pack up their stupid water park.

Ah, there it is.

And the mayor is already there.

Daniel, look here.

You're the expert.

Oh.

Cool.

Yes, that may well have been the case.

That's all just a trick, isn't it, Dad?

That wasn't really aliens.

Yes, what else?

One can clearly see the imprint of their spaceship.

Here and there.

Well, I must admit that I haven't seen anything like that yet.

That is really impressive.

Yes, please.

However.

So, I strongly doubt that these circles anything

deal with a spaceship from aliens.

That's not true at all.

Pointed and cheerful.

What else then?

I don't know.

No idea.

I think someone was playing a joke.

A joke?

Who does something like that?

I don't believe it.

Those were aliens.

And the Witzbachers would so much like their village to be something special.

Additionally, you can make great money with it.

I can't lie to them and say that the imprint comes from the UFO.

Too bad.

You would so like to hear it.

Yes, three minutes.

Yes, Alperger Master, great.

Another one, maybe?

Yes, thanks.

Ah, Mr. Fröhlich, a small photo please.

Jansen, from the Bergische Blatt.

What do you think, how many aliens could fit into a spaceship of this size?

Don't make jokes now, Dad.

You are a scientist.

All over the world there is the phenomenon of these crop circles.

And there's always probably some pranksters

behind it, the others want to play a prank.

Presumably?

That means you don't know for sure?

Yes, we have nothing other than this imprint in a cornfield.

Nowhere a UFO, nowhere a flying saucer.

But they might exist, right?

Nonsense.

Yes, but you had talked about it,

that little yellow men would land here.

Are there any indications of that?

Yes, exactly.

The little yellow men.

Where are they anyway?

If their spaceship had landed there, they must be somewhere.

So, I don't see a little yellow man.

There!

There is one!

Yes, I have seen it!

A little yellow man!

I took a picture of it.

No, wait!

We don't want to scare or chase you away!

Me?

I saw it first!

I!

Dad, do you understand that?

No.

Good morning.

Where is everyone?

I thought on my last day we'd have breakfast together.

They all went to a cornfield where aliens are said to have landed.

Adult people, just imagine that.

Half of Engelsbach is up and about because of this.

Oh my God!

I hope you like cake for breakfast.

Certainly.

I baked for your farewell.

Oh, sweet.

And since the rest of the family prefers to

hunt aliens, there's enough for the two of us.

Thank you very much.

Ich lie be es.

Thank you very much.

Tea?

Hello?

Hello, Mr. Westermann.

No, Daniel is not there.

Alright, I'll let him know.

Goodbye.

Small, yellow men.

And then what was it if it wasn't an alien?

There will surely be some logical explanation for it.

Come.

Let's get out of here.

They're crazy.

To outer space.

Having gotten around.

One is now also ringing to extraterrestrials.

That would be great.

Who knows what they're capable of.

Maybe they have a machine that does the homework.

Mr. Fröhlich!

Mr. Fröhlich!

Just very briefly, please.

Emerges.

Did you also see the small, yellow man?

No, no, no, no.

I saw something small and yellow that then disappeared into the bushes.

And also just very briefly.

Do you have an explanation for that?

No.

We should prepare ourselves to soon.

Completely different visitors to be able to welcome at our place.

Tourists!

Have you actually already seen Rudi today?

Ah, there he is.

Hi Rudi.

Here, I found something about crop circles.

He looks exactly like ours.

Some researchers here attribute the crop circles

in connection with extraterrestrial spaceships.

That's what I said.

Zeit, sich zu verabschieden.

Kate, do you have to go already?

Yes, unfortunately.

I had almost gotten used to you.

Will you write to us and come by again soon?

I promise it.

I write you tons of emails, letters, and SMS messages.

Bye bye, Kate.

Hello, Fritz.

And give Rudi a kiss from me.

I unfortunately haven't seen him anymore.

I'll do it.

I still have to say goodbye to a couple of boys.

Hello.

Goodbye.

Look here, a new link.

Also on the subject of crop circles.

From the Bergisches Blatt.

That's right here.

Aliens in the Bergisches?

The well-known expert Daniel Fröhlich confirms, I have

saw something small and yellow and he has no explanation for it.

I am done.

Daniel, we have to go, to the airport.

I packed a little provision for you.

But hopefully no meatballs.

No, they are just for me.

Thank you very, very much for everything.

You're a wonderful people.

And now I'm leaving, before I start to cry.

We need to hurry.

Everything okay, Daniel?

I will never give an interview again.

Your boss called earlier, by the way.

He will get back to you later.

He watched the show.

Or read the article.

I can forget the Karl's tour.

Crap.

Hi.

Hi.

Nice girl.

But you didn't think so at first.

Oh.

Hey, Woody.

What do you have there?

That looks like a piece of the fabric I gave to Kate.

No.

Take a look at that.

Aliens are warmly welcomed.

Alien.

Alienbach.

So they didn't greet me so kindly.

That can't be true.

Hochbecher Galactica.

Alien burger with onions 12 euros.

Overnight stay with a view of the universe.

That's why they were all so eager for me to confirm the extraterrestrials.

They want to make money.

Yes.

Thank you.

Extra edition.

They are yellow and they are here.

UFO lands in Engelsbach.

Buy our special edition.

Are they all going crazy here, or what?

I swear, I didn't want that.

That was all supposed to be just a joke.

What kind of joke?

Well, the crop circles.

I made them.

Tonight.

The boys helped me with it.

You?

Yes, that's his custom with us.

And that you play a small prank on your host parents as a farewell.

Little prank?

A little prank is good.

Okay, it has now become a little bigger.

But I didn't want that, honestly.

Are you mad at me now?

Little yellow girls.

Oh, no.

Someone once said that the chamois have no sense of humor.

Are there actually cyclical aliens?

This is a similar cloth.

Yes, you can hit it.

And you have the extraterrestrial Rudi.

I knew that there was an explanation for it.

Pity.

You don't happen to have a machine with you that does my homework for me?

Yes.

Come on, let's do a couple more shots from Rudi.

As proof that there are no aliens.

So.

From here still like this.

A little more cloth over the ears.

Good.

So.

UFO meatball.

What am I writing, 2.50?

No, better make 4.

What, so expensive?

Why?

Those are UFO patties.

Out-of-this-world delicious.

Tell me Bettilein, you don't really believe in these aliens, do you?

Of course not.

But I think it's very nice that they landed in Engelsbach.

And we call the potato salad a little yellow salad.

You can write 2.50 there.

That will be great.

Super.

So.

If we are finished here, we must show it to the others immediately, yes?

Mhm.

Sweet.

So.

Let's try with glasses.

Okay.

Come on.

Please.

Psst.

Come Rudi, show your beautiful face.

These will be the best photos in the world.

Oh, show me.

That's great, Oskar.

UFO meatballs.

Wait until the tourists come.

And they taste good.

No, no, no, no.

Look here.

We know who the extraterrestrial is.

Rudi, what do you look like?

Oh crap, my boss.

Mr. Westermann.

Look there.

He looks exactly like the...

He looks just like the... The little yellow man this morning.

Rudi had once wrapped it in a cloth.

And so all four aliens held him.

But he was once an extraterrestrial.

Yes, you can pack up your UFO meatballs again, right?

Why though?

Nobody needs to know that Rudi was the little yellow man.

At least not until the meatballs are sold.

Hey, do you know what?

My boss thought the interview was great.

I wouldn't have acted at all like a scientist, but rather

very casual and very likable.

That's what I'm saying.

I would have interested a lot of people in our work.

And therefore I am also responsible from now on.

For the public relations work of our institute.

With a really hefty pay raise.

That's why I'm buying a round of UFO meatballs.

And for you, a nice little yellow salad.

Here you go.

Ah, wonderful.

I have to praise myself.

Not bad.

Oh, are they good.

Betty, I'm getting married.

Hahaha.
