HEIMAT 3 - A CHRONICLE OF ENDINGS AND BEGINNINGS

A SIX-PART FILM B Y EDGAR REITZ

PART TWO - THE CHAMPIONS

-Hey, isn't that Ernst? -That's not Ernst

Ernst is earnest and learning to fly

What a clown! What's he doing?

Watch out!

Tobi! Tobi!

He wants to tell you something

-Higher! -It won't go any higher

-Up and away! To the sky! -To the moon! Come on!

Are you mad? lt won't go any higher

Can't you get it up any higher?

-No wonder his wife ran off -Udo!

Careful!

I really shouldn't show it to anybody, not even you

The best is yet to come

Nice, isn't it?

Forget the stupid Matterhorn, but look at the back

-Look what's showing through -It was painted over

-You bet -Not with your spit

The missing Gypsy Boy, painted by Otto M�ller

And I smelled the rat

I knew that it was in Vilnius...

...under a coat of tempera

I've wanted it for thirty-five years

-Can you imagine, Tobi? -How did you do it?

Would you like to know?

Missing expressionist paintings, Tobi, do you realise what this is?

-This is a Heckel -Yes, and this one, too

Probably...

...I'm not certain

The signature is missing

What the Nazis called ''degenerate art''...

...was tossed about...

...and it ended up in a Lithuanian cellar

It survived forty years of socialism

Tobi, promise me that you won't tell a soul about my collection

-Sure, but why not? -We're in Hunsr�ck, for God's sake!

Envy, resentment, rumours, ignorance...

Don't look at me like that

FRIDAY 8 JUNE 1 990 - FIRST DAY OF THE FOOTBALL WORLD CUP

-Hermann! -Lena

-It's as pretty as a picture -Yes, really pretty

I'll give you a hand

All the windows and beams, and being directly on the Rhine...

It's so much nicer here than where we live

It's always windy in Hunsr�ck

Spring comes weeks later...

...and winter comes four weeks earlier

Put the plates on the table

Hermann, you did the right thing

-You two went to a lot of trouble -You can stay here forever

And all the grapevines everywhere...

-Hello, sweetheart -This is great

-I didn't recognise you -We have a new car

-This is our car -We must go and get the kids

Hi, sweetheart

Gunnar, what are you doing? That's high-tech stuff!

What a nutcase!

Hello

What's this?

-Nothing's broken -Explain this

That's a new car

-They kept us waiting two hours -Two hours?

Do you know why?

Jana picked up the car at the factory in Cologne

A nice blue

They aren't used to people paying cash

It saved seven hundred marks in transportation costs

It makes a difference

Congratulations, Udo

Hey, Gunnar...

...the car can get up the hill in fourth gear

-Hello -I'm happy for you, Great car

Hi there, that car's keeping you busy, young man

Hello, you look really well

Tell me, is that all real?

I would like four croissants, please

-You speak French! -Yes, after two weeks in Brittany

Give me your hand

And the pretty garden...

They have done a good job

Reinhold, upstairs

You can lay her on the bed

-What a house -It's just perfect

CIarissa! Everybody's here

Gunnar is still up on the roof

I'll check on him

-Careful, the ladder -Can we help?

No, I can do it on my own

Mrs Lichtblau!

-We're all downstairs -Yes

We need an aerial to watch the game

It doesn't matter

You will impress us all...

...including Petra...

...if you just act normal

Why is she here?

Why can't she come another day, if she has to come?

Come on, we're getting a bonus

-I'm impressed you went up there -It was nothing

Hermann and CIarissa are handing out bonuses

Let's have a look

-He shouldn't make a fuss -Udo

Tillmann

It was hard without him

But let's put it this way, it was worth it

-Tillmann, would you mind... -It won't take long

Gunnar

Just after the Berlin Wall came down...

...and you started to clean up the house...

...everyone was negative

The experts expected it to take two years...

...and people doubted whether the house could even be restored

Now, less than seven months later...

...the house is a showpiece for the entire region

And we owe that mainly to you

Gunnar, here you are

-Udo -Thanks

-Tillmann -Thank you

And...

...where is Tobi?

Where's Tobi?

It's more than I thought

What was that?

In the vineyard

Watch out! Someone's shooting!

Damn it! I missed!

-CIarissa! -Mrs Lichtblau!

-Move out of the way! -What are you doing?

-Mr Wallauer! -For heaven's sake

Put that away

It's been eating the new shoots on the vines for weeks

It's caused lots of damage, and nobody knows who it belongs to

That's no reason to shoot

What about the shed?

Good idea

Having a goat...

...could mean cheese, milk and butter for you and Mr Simon

-And a kid a year -Or two

-Goat's meat isn't very popular -Don't, Udo!

You couldn't do that to a poor animal

-No, but I could eat you -I've always wanted animals

-Don't fool yourself -Calm down

Don't go into the vineyard, or Mr Wallauer will shoot you

What you've done here is a miracle

Congratulations, I mean it from the heart

Pitt has a case of my wine on his tractor

It's from 1 984, the year I first saw you here, Mrs Lichtblau

PIease, stay for the party

It all started with you

Not so loud! The kids are sleeping upstairs

Can you play anything?

Not bad, And you?

That's nice of you, Be careful

Watch out!

Can I help?

-I'll just get changed, Udo -OK

Daddy, we've got a goat

Arnold?

PRIVATE

Arnold!

Celebrate with us

It's a big day for us

-I don't know them -I'll introduce you

I want to study

You will pass your exams easily...

...judging by your coursework

I'm not interested

I miss you when you hide up here

You just want to show me off

''He's brilliant''

''He will study IT in America and he was acquitted for being nice''

-I hate it! -Don't exaggerate

I'm just proud of you

Yes, but I am who I am!

I don't care, lt gets on my nerves

Take your time

I'm not that quick, anyway

Thank you, Mara

-You're the best -Hermann...

Well done!

-Hello, Anton -Hermann

-Anton! -Careful!

Nice to see you back on your feet

-Hi, CIarissa -Is that a Mercedes?

Welcome, come in

It's a Horch...

...from 1 934

Did you know the Norwegian king even rode in it? Want to get in?

Don't touch anything

Let me show you something

Look, this car...

...is the only car in the world with a vertical shaft

I always say, you determine the value of a house...

...firstly by its location, secondly by its location...

...and thirdly by who lives in it

You put that nicely

Horst, show us what we got for them

Everybody come out of the house!

Thanks, Horst, Go and get a ladder

Do you know what this is?

It's the last horseshoe...

...that Grandfather forged with his own hands

I can still him see pounding away with his hammer...

...until the iron was hot

By then he had stomach cancer, and he died three weeks later

Oh, well, that's the kind of man Matthias Simon was...

...our grandfather, who we descended from

Hartmut, you too!

Horst...

...put that horseshoe in the middle, on that beam

Here

Hermann, CIarissa...

...it will bring good luck

That's just superstition, You don't even believe it yourself

Mara, I'm not talking to you about superstition

We should put the horseshoe inside...

...so the good luck doesn't stay outside

If you say so, Mara

Hermann...

...I have something else for you

Look at this

This is the telescope you used when you were fifteen...

...to gaze at the stars

Yes, I remember

You always felt the urge to strive for higher things

Now it's returned to its rightful owner, you

I'm happy...

...that you have come home

And now the flags of all twenty-four participating nations...

From two hundred...

Come and look at our castle

It fit in with our plans that houses weren't built around living rooms

Take the flowers

Upstairs, first

-Need some help? -Very nice

-Udo, the blue bedroom is beautiful -You've got one thing on your mind!

I'll put my clarinet away

-It's great -It's so nice

Shit

This is my domain

I still don't know where to put all my suitcases

I have so much stuff

Here is the bathroom

During construction we lost our faith in the house

We hope that by living here it will gradually return

We hope to regain its trust

We call this room...

...our blue room

And here's why...

We have a magnificent view of Pfalzburg Castle, near Kaub

Take a look

We'll report the opening ceremony...

...without all the electronic nonsense

A sanctuary...

Gunnar?

Do you know what you're going to do? Don't get up

What are your plans afterwards?

I'm not going back to Leipzig, I'm never going back

Here are the Australians

Maybe Berlin

The best idea I've had is to live in East Berlin and work in West Berlin

If you want a job, you will get one

With paintings, it is like it is with women...

...once you're in love, you go blind

I would hang them on the wall

What the woman? You have no idea

Hold this

Do you speak Russian?

You have smelled another rat, haven't you?

I see it in your eyes, This time it's Russia

I smell it every night

It keeps me awake

So I come here and make room...

...for the Beckmanns and the works of Kandinsky

Tobi!

I know exactly where they are and how to get there...

What they cost

What they cost to me

So, do you speak Russian?

Yes, I speak Russian

Proletarians of all nations, unite!

Long live the socialist world revolution!

Amazing treasures are waiting for us

For us?

I will make you an offer

You can work for me as my right-hand man

You studied to be a curator, You know all about these things

And you're a person who works hard and doesn't say too much

I like that

I don't have a family, I keep myself busy here

What you see here is my storeroom for everything...

...that has to be restored or framed...

...or that has been damaged

If we reach an agreement, I'll show you my real storeroom

I'll show you everything I've collected...

...piece by piece, over forty years

I have collected so much

I sometimes don't even know what I have or what I want it for

Leave me out of it

But the cherries are ripe enough to pick

Just like in 1 945

Precious treasures laid in the mud

You got a Picasso for a pack of butter

In the '50s, in the food and furniture days...

...I helped myself to...

...Baroque furniture, a silk afghan, five lmpressionist paintings...

...and it's the same today in the East

For a video player and a few dollars you get all the art you want

What has it got to do with me?

I will give you 3,500 marks, plus room and board

You can make yourself at home

3,500 West German marks

Tobi

I didn't know it cost so much

I didn't know I didn't know

Building is a lovely thing

Building is a lovely thing

I didn't know it cost so much

-I didn't know . I didn't know -Building is such a lovely thing

I brought you a little souvenir

Pitt took this picture on the day we shook hands

It will hang better in your house...

...so every day you can see what you did

Thanks, Mr Wallauer

The World Cup has started

Come in, Anton!

Since I became president of Schabbach Football CIub...

...there's been no pampering

Nevertheless, two of our boys are now playing for Cologne

They've got professional contracts

I haven't been waiting for this to happen...

...but I realised years ago my big moment would come...

...when he'd had enough

-So it really was a stroke? -Yes, it was

Every day I told him not to trust that pharmaceutical poison

If only he had changed his eating habits

We should take advantage and revamp the company's ship...

...so it's seaworthy to leave, if you know what I mean

The world is being carved up again, but he has no idea

He just won't give up the reins

Like farmers who won't let the kids take over

Oh, come on, Move forwards

What are they doing?

Mum!

Maradona versus...

The line-up isn't great

Why do they get put in the penalty area?

In the penalty area, you get a penalty

Anywhere else on the pitch, you get a free kick

Do you know what a free kick is?

Not to be mistaken with a penalty kick

In our world of sport...

...the penalty kick is also known as a penalty

Long live the penalty!

-Are the kids asleep now? -Just about

-That's good -They are worn out

I can imagine

Reinhold wanted to drive non-stop to Munich

It's nice you came, and Hermann is so pleased

They are asleep now

-Darling, I'm going to watch football -OK

-Petra... -Yes

Did Ramona do your hair?

-It's nice -She always does

-She's expecting her third child -Really?

I'm the dishwasher at home, too

We appreciate men like you

In Brittany, you can eat really well

We had a stew with lots of pikeperch in it...

...and real lobster, but the best was the gigot pr� sal�

-Know what that is? -No

Lamb from the salt fields

You don't even have to salt it

Imagine that

-Tell me later -Why?

-Do you want Gunnar to hear? -No

-I mean, try to understand him -You're right

Sometimes I forget about everything that is going on

Thanks, Tobi

No one could have done this as well as you, Well done

And this is from CIarissa

Didn't Ernst want to come? Maybe it was unrealistic to think so

He isn't really a family man

Thanks very much, Mr Simon

It's time to say goodbye again, and go our separate ways

Yes, a new life

Well?

I'll put the rose in my Trabant, That's where it belongs

And a corner is given

What was that? A goal?

Come here

It's very simple

Every socket and every lamp has two little lights...

...a red one and a green one

When the red light is on...

...the consumer is using the socket

And the green lights?

The LEDs show the current status of each station

When the green light is on, the lamp upstairs is on

For example...

...Mr Simon leaves his house to conduct a concert...

...and at a glance he can see...

...if he will have an astronomical electricity bill

If he pushes this button...

...he can see how much he's used to a tenth of a kilowatt-hour

You're good at so many things

When there's no leakage current...

Leakage current?

-Oh, there's wine growing here! -Why do you want to come here?

-It's like this after a thunderstorm -Where are you going?

They're so hot

The heat builds up during the day

-It's so hot when I sit down -I'll come over to you

I hope there are no ants or snails

Daddy, I brought you these from the sea

Thanks, Thank you, Jenny

How sweet

Rudi, where did you get the meat from?

-I'm glad you like it -Try the meat from Steinhauser

-Pitt did this -Did he? I never thought he could

Yes, he did

It looks really nice, doesn't it?

I have something to say, It can't go on like this

You have to talk to him

1 -0 to Cameroon

-Those negroes! -I can't believe it!

Gunnar, I think we should sort some things out

Sort things out?

What are you saying? What do we have to sort out?

The removal van is coming on 2nd July, Will you be home in Leipzig?

Do you think I'll help you clear the place?

You know, thanks to you, after half a year...

...the kids barely know their father

Nonsense!

Who can they turn to? That bastard from the West?

Stop being so crude!

I'm not crude at all! I was always working

The panelling...

You're not a role model for the kids

What? Why aren't I a role model? Why aren't I a role model?

Torsten, if Germany makes the final, we will all drive to Rome

I promise

All of us, Mum, Jacques, you and me

We have to see it for ourselves, Come on

-I'm wide awake -I saw you yawning

Are you OK?

That's wonderful, Thank you very much

The sausage tastes strange

I wonder why that is

No need to cry, I'll get your mum, and everything will be fine

Jana, do you know where Petra is?

-Outside -Everything is a mess

-The kids have had enough -Yes

-There she is -Look, there's your mum

I think I'm in the way

-Did you sort things out? -The kids are staying with me

Which idiot parked his car next to my Beetle?

Somebody is as blind as a bat!

Can't you go inside and look after your kids?

Why are you shouting at people?

Jesus, Udo!

Tell your lover to move his wheels, or there will be trouble!

-I don't want any trouble -Are you talking to me?

-You slut -Not here

-You betrayed the family -Stop it, Gunnar

-Come on -The kids are staying with me

-You stupid bitch! -That's it

-I'm fed up with this! -What?

-Get your hands off me! -Shut up!

I'll move the car out of the way

Great

Oh, my darling

-I want to stay with Mummy -Yes

- How late is it? - lt's midnight

Horst, come here

-Have they noticed we're not there? -No, they're all glued to the TV

-No, the game is already over -Do you think so?

A game like that has to be over sometime

Unfortunately

I can't wait for everyone to leave, so we can be alone

It's always like that

You invite people and you can't wait for them to leave

It's so nice here

-We ought to get back -OK, but we will be back

A house of love

Arnold, are you still awake?

They are all still asleep down there

Yes, it's a nice house with a nice view

-A good income -And lots of love-making every night

I tried it myself...

...but I only touched down for a short time...

...and then took off again

Here, look in my pocket

Go ahead, take a look

Dollars!

We will be kings from Vilnius to VIadivostok

I know the important curators and collectors there

They're willing to sell off their museums for Western currency

Are we really flying to Russia?

Listen, I have a bad feeling about the whole idea

First to Lithuania

I know the aerial surveillance staff, Then we will see

Dollars, marks, videos, Friends, here comes the brave new world

Delta, echo, hotel, Lima, tango, continuing the flight over Fulda...

...to the former East German border

-Get permission to leave frequency -Delta, echo, hotel, Lima, tango

Keep the maximum altitude to 3,500 metres...

...until leaving controlled airspace

He's awake!

He's awake!

-Hurry -Want to see the goat?

-Yes! -Then get going

-Careful! -Morning

-Congratulations -It's a special occasion

-Very special -Who is going to tell him?

-CIarissa should tell him -I don't understand

Reinhold phoned the broadcasting company

I meant to do it before my holiday

Hermann, they're going to ask you to write a re-unification symphony

The broadcasting companies agreed

And so did the Music Council

An orchestral piece for the opening night in Berlin

-Not a bad beginning for a new life -In our house

-And I slept like a log -Cheers!

I restored a church down there

The pews and frescoes were from the seventeenth century

Music at the Cockatoo at night

Since you know your way around, we need to refuel

Is that a military airport?

Marxwalde, You bet I know my way around

They worked me dry when I got drafted

I can't imagine you in the army

Marching in step, standing to attention...

I didn't get past the uniform, I refused to put it on

Tobi, let's land there

I'm curious to know...,

...if they're still big mouths, or if they will fill up our tank

There was a Lenin monument...

...where they beat me up

Revenge is sweet, Tobi

Times have changed

Pay attention to how I do it

Hello, gentlemen

Take us to the base commander

I'm the squadron commander

Then you know what to do, We will follow you

OK, follow me

They think you're from the West German army

Let them think that

Then I'm from the Disarmament Council

I like this game

Simon, I would really like to go up in that MIG

I'm only familiar with our fighters

I used to fly a Tornado 4B

I don't think we would get clearance for take-off

I could get in and gun those engines

What did you say, a Tornado 4B?

Yes, come with me

I'll take a look inside

What about you?

You're familiar with this, aren't you?

Throttle in neutral and then start it

Everybody wants to be taken over by the West German army

I start working for an insurance company in July

At the same time as the currency reform

You're a pilot? It's great, I know the feeling

There is always a risk, isn't there?

You want a feeling of security

It's good to know you're insured

At the moment we're selling all our equipment

Our Minister of Defence is a pastor of disarmament

These are all tank engines

Twelve cylinders for the T54 and T55

Six cylinders for the PT7 6...

...and for the tank-pontoon ferry, GSP55

Back there we have helicopter engines for the Mi-2...

...that have hardly been used

If I unpack one, it's ready in ten minutes

This one is being taken over...

...by the West German aerial surveillance

Lots of people are interested

We have even had a set designer here

He wants thousands of uniforms as costumes for entire movies

Look, protective winter clothing for paramedics, jackets...

...neck-warmers called Grandma

And this here is very special

A gas mask for kids

East Germany was the only country to design them for mother and child

This is the common army sock, and here...

...diving suits, combat packs for officers...

...tanks for combat swimmers...

...and if you need a sleeping bag, we have ten thousand

This is what it's like when a country disintegrates

-Come on, let's take a picture -What a jet

We raced them over the steppes of Kazakhstan

Kazakhstan, Have you been there?

I trained to be a cosmonaut there

We all know somebody else went up, Still, I had a great time

Do you know the air corridors in Russia?

And smile

The aerial surveillance in Belarus is intact

-FIy over Lithuania -I know my way around there

Head towards Vitevsk, Smolensk, and stay south of Moscow

You have a tailwind of 1 20 knots, Head towards Tula

-How far can you get with your 1 7 2? -A thousand with a tailwind

A thousand

You know what?

FIy during the Russia versus Argentina game

Good idea

They will be in front of their TVs instead of watching their radar

It might just work

I would like to go with you

-Is this from May 1 981 ? -Yes

Let's have a look

You have fractured your right fibula

It has twisted on its axis

Bone consolidation

A skiing accident?

Five army thugs against one civilian, Can I have it as a souvenir?

You know ...

...what he's saying might be of interest to the prosecution

I don't want to be accused of withholding evidence

Is Captain Gies still around?

Major Gies is still around, He's in charge of demobilisation

-What is the score, comrade? -Nil-nil

-Comrade Major? -Yes

Is life still great?

You're from one of those committees, Found anything yet?

Write this down!

A hundred kilos of boots, five hundred kilos of steel helmets...

...five hundred combat uniforms, a hundred kilos of fur hats...

... a hundred kilos of belts, a sackful of epaulettes...

...and your cap

Take it off

You want them to take you over

-Do you want to be taken over? -Listen

I had nothing against you then

I had nothing to gain from it

I had to work hard

I was on manoeuvres three times a year and that is not easy

If we hadn't kept quiet in November, there would have been a civil war

I'm glad that it's finally over

Do you want to see how it looks...

...if you don't have anything against me?

You and your men attacked me

Do you remember where it was?

At Lenin's feet

But you did the kicking, You kicked me!

Why am I doing all the talking?

We went through it together

Where is Lenin now?

Lenin?

I personally made sure he was disposed of in December

He belongs on the rubbish heap, and he will be taken away soon

Tobi, we're flying to the Volga river

The director of the museum in Saratov...

...is a friend of our Colonel Herzog

We have to!

And you found Lenin, too

How do we get him out of here? He's ours

-We're fond of Russians, aren't we? -We sell trucks, too

-What about the Krass 255? -With the B1 ?

-With a crane -That is what you need

-How much? -Ernst

Tobi, how else do you expect to disarm?

OK!

-Hello -Is that Major Gies's house?

-Yes -Good

It's all right, we're from the Disarmament Council

MARXWALDE - A GUESTHOUSE

-Do you snore? -Yes

That's OK then

I do, too

I would have loved to have seen his face when he got home

OId Lenin gazing through his window

I bet he's dreaming about the triumph of Communism

Ernst?

Ernst!

What's wrong?

-I'm not coming -What?

I don't understand you

No! Because of him?

It's a clear warning!

What's wrong?

Ernst...

...they have their old contacts

They will tell them we're coming and bring us down

They know what you're up to

They have more important things to deal with, like the World Cup

When the USSR plays...

...they will be watching the football instead of looking at their radar

We will be back for the final

I can sense when they're planning something

Just think about it, This is insane

The Russian Defence System isn't a football club

I'm not going

I can't let this chance pass me by

I would regret it till the day I die, if I don't go for that big haul

First we will fly to Vilnius

Then see what happens

Pilot, send my regards to the sun

1 0 JUNE 1 990 - EAST BERLIN

-Do you live here? -Yes

Does a man who plays the trumpet live here?

-Yes, over there -Do you hear him?

-Yes -That's great

We used to play music together at school

Do you have music lessons at school? Do you go to school?

-No -But will you start soon?

I bet you will be really good at school

I have a daughter, too, Her name is Nadine

-What's your name? -Rosa

What are you doing?

Watch it!

Why don't you stop screaming?

I asked the girl if there is a musician living there

That's all, Nothing more

I saw how you parked your car before you talked to the little girl

I wrote down your number

We look after each other here

Can you tell me whether J�rgen Senne still lives here?

I don't know

Could you tell me where he lives?

No

J�rgen!

It's me, Gunnar!

Where is he?

Hello?

Your door is open

Is anyone here?

Mr Buschkowiak?

Oh, God!

DON'T FORGET LOVE

Hello, there

It's pretty hard

Can I borrow this? Nothing professional

Yes, OK

But this is my spot

-Maybe you can go over there? -Yes, sure

This is my spot

Is here OK?

Carry on hammering

This way you can see my name

This is my first time

I brought a real chisel, it cost 29,95 West German marks

It cost twenty marks on Kurf�rstendamm

Twenty marks?

Give me your address and sign this

-Which newspaper is it? -You will get a free issue

I'm not sure about that, There's a problem with my address

I'm just living here temporarily, for the time being

Gunnar Brehme

-Your name is really Brehme? -I wouldn't write it otherwise

That's incredible

Wait a minute, Yes, yes!

-Can you read it? -Yes, great

-Thank you -Yes, bye

Incredible, Gunnar Brehme...

Walter Gebhard is the coach of the Austrian Olympic team

The assistant coach is Josef Hickersberger

A foul by Paul

That's how the ltalians saw it

Bergomi, mamma mia!

He's pleading to all the cardinals in ltaly, but the match goes on

I'm sorry

I had no idea you were on the toilet

Go away!

I just wanted to throw out a pan of food

By the way...

...the flat under yours is a complete pigsty

But I'm moving in, I've got to live somewhere

Maybe we will run into each other again

I didn't mean any harm

Anna!

It's Tobi

-What are you up to? -I'm a football fan for Germany

A football fan? For Germany? I'm supporting the USSR

Is your mum upstairs? Let's go up

Are you in the cultural attach� of Bulgaria?

No mistakes in the defence

Germany!

Yes, Germany!

Germany!

Branco

Careca

It's not offside! That's 1-0

Does no one want to be in the cultural attach�?

-When does the USSR play? -The USSR?

And Bulgaria? I was there on holiday

-This is Silvia -I have to show you something

To Sofia?

N exxt wee k? O f co u rsse

Isn't it great?

No more Wall, no more bans, Everybody's got their own plans

I'll take the night train, and I'll be there early tomorrow

We blamed East Germany if we failed, Now we have to blame ourselves

We could be squatters

Tobi, don't you want to?

What you will do?

-I'm just glad to be home again -You were gone for so long

You can tell me what you're going to do with Lenin tomorrow

She looks like a hygiene inspector

She is, Oh, that's her!

Hello, we thought you weren't coming

1 4 JUNE 1 990 - LEIPZIG, ANGER-CROTTENDORF DISTRICT

This is for you to sign

-Mr Tr�tsch? -Tr�tzsch

-Tr�tzsch -Don't worry

I wrote you a letter, but we don't need it any more

Is that your wife?

Yes, that's her, I'll fetch the equipment in

-Well? -She wants to know if I'm suitable

She's starting with the roof

I hope I can deal with those pigeons

The stupid thing is that the building has been declared unsafe

That's awful, Udo!

We will manage

Let me know when you're finished

-Sure -Thanks

-Goodbye, Mrs Tr�tzsch -Can I give you a lift?

Great, I have to go to Wiederitzsch

That's on my way

That's nice of you, Thank you

My husband has already done that kind of work in the West

Has he?

He said to me, ''Jana, we have to do the same thing in Leipzig''

We can't let this town go to pieces just because Berlin gets everything

It would be nice for us

Maybe we could have a trip to ltaly with the boys

Who knows if they will let us East Germans in

Of course, I made enquiries

-You only need a passport -Really?

You know, years ago it would have been really nice...

...but...

...I don't think I can now

My husband and the boys are real football fans

They want to see the final in Rome, if West Germany gets there

The boys deserve it

They would have something to talk about

Your time has come! Get out of here!

I will get you out!

My time has come! Get out!

Damn it! What a mess!

Get out of here! Get out!

Get out!

PICTURE OF THE DAY

PIECES OF THE BERLIN WALL TWO MARKS EACH

SUNDAY 1 7 JUNE 1 990 BERLIN, KURFURSTENDAMM

Move back a little

Who wants to try this?

Bye!

-Are these pieces of the Berlin Wall? -Two marks each

Are they genuine pieces of the Berlin Wall?

Yes, genuine pieces of our Wall

Do you read the paper?

This is me

My name is Brehme

Just a moment

Here is my chisel, 29,95 marks

Very fine East German concrete

Two marks

Could you supply us with a million pieces by mid-November?

In a nice little package

Nicely packaged

One million pieces?

-We can't pay two marks apiece -Sure

I'll write down the phone number

Call me when you have the samples

Ask for Mr Nothe

That's me, like a good ''note''...

...but spelt ''th''

''47 6 8004''

''47 6 8004''

Hello, this is the Warner Bros' Berlin office

You can reach us on Monday to Fridays from...

Warner Bros! I didn't know!

Would you accept a coffee invitation from someone...

...who just got a million-mark contract from Warner Bros?

If he spoke proper German and didn't stink

Did I make myself clear?

Hello!

I'm...

I'm Gunnar Brehme from downstairs

I know you're there, I've heard your footsteps

I wanted to ask you if it might be possible...

...to put this in your washing machine

Could you possibly wash my shirt?

I would appreciate it

Thank you!

Thank you very much

You did it

You destroyed the family

I would have worked hard

You never would have guessed we would become millionaires

I always made my own living

What about you?

Never, with such a mummy's boy

Petra, I ask myself, ''What's happened to your pride?''

But I want you to know when you come crawling back...

...Iittle Gunnar won't be little any more

You will be surprised

You can't really believe you will stay with him

You've got two kids

Didn't that occur to you?

Who will want you with little kids?

Just you wait, Petra

We will see each other again...

...but on a different level

OK, let's weigh it just for fun

Three cheers for Germany

So that makes fifty-nine grammes

Fifty-nine grammes multiplied by a million...

...makes fifty-nine tonnes

Augenthaler

Reuter

Just a minute

And again, Brehme

Fifty-nine tonnes

This place can't handle that, I can forget it

A bit smaller

Not this one

This one

It's twelve grammes

That's still twelve tonnes without packaging

-I have the samples -Thank you

PIease, have a seat

Mr Brehme, sorry

Hello, Mr Nothe

Well...

...to be honest...

...your samples were not as good as we were expecting

I was afraid of that...

...so that's why I have an idea I would like to show you

All right, have a seat

You see...

...I worked out how heavy a million pieces would be

For example, here we have fifty-three grammes

A million pieces would weigh fifty-three tonnes

As much as I would like to, my flat couldn't hold that much

Do you know what comes in this box? The Karl Marx medal

If someone in East Germany made a great cup of coffee...

...they got the medal

-Miss M�ller is from East Germany -You don't look like you are

Miss M�ller, coffee with everything

-Milk? Sugar? -PIease

Where will you get a million boxes?

It's good you have reminded me of my social responsibility

I wouldn't want my female workers to be exploited

They only work for me, three shifts, So we need to do some investing

Would it be possible to get a thirty-five per cent advance payment?

Who is supposed to get a million Karl Marx medals?

That's a secret! The re-unification was a hoax!

-What will happen to this place? -We're closing down

I'm the only one still working

The others just twiddle their thumbs

-And you? What's your name, anyway? -Martina

What will happen to you?

My boyfriend...

...has an idea, but he won't even tell me what it is

I hope he doesn't make you walk the streets

Aren't you a bit hot?

Enough of that!

Get out of here!

You said earlier we can only blame ourselves for failing

Exactly

I think we are going to fail

THE START OF THE GERMAN CURRENC Y REFORM

We fail out of principle...

...just to prove that the world is unjust

-I think that is stupid -Me, too

-You, too? -How do you mean?

We were on the right side, but we lost the election

And now we're proud of it

Things have to change, That's how I see it

Me, too

Hello. Would you like some ice cream?

I don't know if I should accept Ernst's offer

It's up to you, but you don't know when he will be back

Here you are

People don't want to spend money on coffee

That waiter is on his own

Have a nice day

-Anna... -Hello

-Want some ice cream? -Yes

-Small or large? -Small

-Chocolate or vanilla? -Chocolate

Look at that

It should be a kilo, but may be a little more

-Perhaps a bit more than two pounds? -That is four marks

-Four marks? -Four marks is fine

-Keep the change -Thanks

-So long -Bye

Wonderful cherries here from near Berlin

They're sweet and juicy, A kilo for just four marks

What can I do for you?

I just wanted to look around

Look around? PIease, go ahead

I saw EIton John play one like that, but it was made of plastic

That's possible

What sort of price range were you thinking of?

I'm afraid a big one like this won't fit in my flat

You could be right

Some customers have a particular preference

No, if it's good, it can be expensive

What about this little one here? What about that one?

This would be just right

-Can I give you these? -Sure

Thanks

-No -That's right

And I thought I couldn't afford it

Come with me

Our piano maker, with twenty or thirty years of experience

And the tuning and intonation is done here

This is where the instrument gets its life and soul

How are you?

Petra...

...are you moving out?

Sorry, it's obvious

Where are the kids?

In Munich

Do you have to do this all alone?

Won't he help?

Gunnar, what comes to mind when you see...

...this hallway here?

OK, you're right...

...but people can change

Petra...

...if you change your mind...

...and decide to come back...

...I will always have room for you

AIways

I have business connections with Warner Bros

I work for them

You know, CIint Eastwood, Tina Turner, Faye Dunaway...

I will take you

I want to be seen with you

I'll leave the furniture here, You can give the kids' furniture away

Let me

Put everything in the boxes and close the door when I'm finished

You don't believe me, but I'm like a first prize

COFFEE, MINCEMEAT, RICE

PEAS

I found it, ''Milking by hand''

''The cleansed udder should be carefully prepared...''

''...so the milk can be released''

What's meant by ''prepared''?

Prepared? Come on, Bianca

Come here

I want to tie you up here

Can't you help me hold her?

It's OK, Come here

Hold her tight...

Hold the tail

What do they mean?

That's good

Good girl, Calm down

I don't know what it means

Look it up in the dictionary

OK, listen

''Pinching the teats or pulling is cruelty to animals''

''It can damage the udder''

''These methods aren't used any more''

''Squeezing is the correct way''

Here's a drawing

Here it is, Look, CIarissa

''Pinching and pulling are wrong''

''There are three methods''

''With two fingers, four fingers and with the whole fist''

Come on

-It's coming -You're pulling, Don't pull

No, I'm squeezing

Cameroon are down to ten men

Dobrovolsky...

That's a goal! 1-0

The pass was from Litovchenko

I want to be here for three weeks

Then let's compare our schedules

That would only make us sad

Let's carry on

SUNDAY 8 JULY 1 990 WORLD CUP FINAL DAY

Hello!

Is anybody there?

Hello!

Ernst!

Ernst!

Hello

Brehme on the left...

...in the defence...

...and Kohler in front of the striker Augenthaler...

...and Guido Buchwald

Rudi!

Tobi, it's about to start

Hessler's playing in mid-field

-Have you heard from Ernst? -No, nothing, have you?

Rudi V�ller, a home game for him, and for Berthold and Klinsmann

Here we go, the World Cup Final

Argentina versus the Federal Republic of Germany

Come on, sit down

Littbarski on the left...

Ruggeri right up against Klinsmann

Ernst, I'm getting worried

The entire German bench has stood up

Beckenbauer is still. Next to him is Holger Osieck

The fans are waiting for the final whistle

They're beginning to celebrate. Only the substitutes are watching

Don't make any mistakes now . A throw -in for Germany

This is nerve-racking

J�rgen Kohler can't stand it any more. They're giving a penalty!

It's a penalty!

Augenthaler deserved one much more than V�ller did

He faked it! That wasn't a penalty!

He faked it! What a bad call!

What do you say?

Could be

This one shot will decide the title for the German team

He can shoot with both feet, but he normally shoots with his right

Enough of that

We just hope he scores

Brehme against the goalkeeper, Goycochea

Yes!

Goal! Goal! Goal!

A well-deserved win for the German national football team

Four minutes and forty seconds before the end of the match

Brehme, Brehme, Brehme!

-It will never happen again -I know

Your taxi is here

Germany, Germany, Germany...

Yes, we have done it!

PART TWO - THE CHAMPIONS
