Again. Once more.

Johann Sebastian Bach.

Remember, she can only be on her phone...

- Yes, sweetheart. - Just like I raised you.

First the mastery, then the frivolity.

See you this afternoon, Dewi.

Be nice to grandma. Behave yourself.

Yes, she is gone.

♪ Oh I'm

♪ I, I'm still alive, yeah

♪ I, I'm still alive

Grandma?

Grandma! Grandma!

Grandma, say something!

Grandma!

Help! Help!

Grandma!

It is going to be so much fun.

Can't I just join you at the campsite?

No, it's nice if you and your father spend a bit longer together.

He wasn't even at my birthday.

He just sits behind his laptop.

Menno, could you please try...

- Yes? - Menno?

Yes? What?!

Uh, actually I have my son.

I promised to take care of my son this week.

I'm going to see what I can do.

Problems with the virtual reality glasses?

My father had an accident.

He fell.

So it's not going to happen?

Well, uh...

I have no idea how serious it is, but it probably won't take long.

Is your father dead?

Oh, no way. Weeds don't die easily.

- Grandpa is in charge here. - Wow.

I grew up here until I was 13.

Then my parents divorced and I went to live with my mother.

Menno?

- Terry? - Oh!

God, you look terrible.

And it seems you haven't just been living in the virtual world.

- A son! - Uh, yes. Hein, this is Terrence.

My old neighbor girl. Terrence, this is Hein.

- Yes? - My son.

- A real Greveling, you can tell right away. - Uh...

- Terry, what are you doing here? - Uh...

Well, pretty much everything, Menno.

I prune the bushes, dig the graves, wash the bodies.

I'll call for help if your father has fallen.

As long as you don't think...

that I will stay in the chair all day now.

What are you doing here again?

I called him, Johannes. I'm worried.

What nonsense. I don't need help.

I'm perfectly fine on my own.

Good, then let's go again.

Hein?

My grandson? Wow, boy.

Hein, go play outside for a bit.

Then we can discuss things.

Are you here to visit someone?

Uh, yes. My grandpa, sort of.

Ah, yes.

Has he been dead long?

Oh! No, my grandpa is in charge here, apparently.

Oh, how fortunate. I need to speak to him urgently.

But I seem unable to reach him.

Can you go get him?

Watch out, dead one! Whoa!

- Sorry, I didn't see you coming. - Why not? I tooted.

I was with that lady...

Damn it, Jordi! That's not a toy!

How many times do I have to say that? Hein, this is Jordi, my son.

Jordi, this is Hein.

- Hi. - Okay, everyone help pull.

1, 2...

Until the dizziness subsides, bed rest.

What bed rest? Do you think this is a health spa?

I have a business to keep running.

Dad, what are you going to do now?

The De Groot family has been waiting for over a quarter of an hour.

Johannes, I'll take care of that family.

Goodness, if you don't have an ailment in you...

you'll be convinced of one here.

Well, dad, uh...

Oh, there was someone for you.

Ah! My apologies for the wait. We are having some staffing issues.

But we're going to make it a fantastic farewell.

It's going to be really beautiful. This way, please.

The most important thing is that there is a good piano.

Or a piano.

Dewi is going to play a fugue by Bach.

Keyword: sober.

And the piano... I'll just write that down.

Pi...a...no.

Look, it looks like an absolutely normal pair of glasses.

Well, absolutely normal...

But...

If you want, you can bring everyone, no matter where they are in the world, right in front of you.

Or actually on your nose. Hehe.

Why are you never here?

My parents are divorced.

I don't see my father often.

And he doesn't see his father often.

Or do you find it too scary here?

Yeah, really scary.

Well then?

Shall I show you something gruesome?

Do you know what this is?

- A morgue? - Yes, clever one.

But do you also know what that is?

A thing where you keep snakes.

No. Scarier, much scarier.

Cold here.

Do you know why?

To preserve the bodies properly.

Are we allowed to come here?

What's wrong, Heintje? Are you scared?

Are you afraid to look?

Wah! Go away!

- Wah! - Quiet, you fool, or they'll hear us.

Wah! Help! Help!

Jordi, have you gone crazy!

What do you think will happen if the relatives find out about this here?!

He wanted it himself. He wanted to see it.

You made him very happy with it. It's disrespectful.

I didn’t teach you to treat the dead like this! We're going home.

Sorry, Hein.

Would you like another glass of water?

Hein...

A corpse, that's just a dead person.

It's perfectly natural.

It was a ghost. This afternoon as well.

I saw a ghost.

Ghosts do not exist.

I want to leave here, Dad.

There are ghosts here.

Hein...

Okay, I'm going to see what I can do.

He's scared.

He sees ghosts.

Yes, I already said that this is not a place for children, right?

So he can't stay here.

Hello?

Hello?

Shhh.

You've seen one, haven't you?

I heard your conversation. You've seen one.

- What? - A ghost.

What did she say? What did that lady say?

- She needed your help. - Unbelievable, Hein.

You have it too. The gift.

Just like me.

We'll talk more tomorrow.

What are you doing out of bed?

Just going to the bathroom. Should I ask for a note for that?

- Were you with Hein? - Why are you keeping him away from me?

I haven't exchanged a word with him yet.

Since when are you interested in your grandson?

Hein? Your grandfather would like you to deliver it.

I think he will be happy that you are here.

And he doesn't feel that way about many people, so.

Go ahead. And eh... tell him he needs to keep eating.

I have to take him to the hospital for some X-rays soon.

Just give it here. And lock the door.

Good boy.

I'm going to explain something important to you about my work.

Our work.

When someone dies, the spirit leaves the body.

We return the body to nature.

But the spirit goes to another place.

- Heaven. - People have been arguing for a long time about what that place is called...

or what it looks like.

But that's none of our business.

It's about the spirits that remain.

- Like that lady. - Exactly.

The lingerers.

Sometimes such a spirit can't find peace because it is still preoccupied with something.

Something in their life is unfinished.

They have questions, regrets, or are angry.

And that's where we come into play.

Because we have the gift.

What gift?

We can see and hear them.

And so we can help them find peace after all.

Guys, I have fresh juice.

Hello, what is this?

Why is that door locked?

It’s important work. And I'm having a bit of trouble with my knee.

Johannes, Hein, come on. We need to go to the hospital.

- I don't want to pay for a no-show. - What should I do then?

Find the spirit and figure out what the problem is.

- Damn it! Stop it now! - Just open it.

Before he kicks the door in.

Yes!

You can pull these kinds of pranks on someone else.

We are not going to exclude anyone.

- Are you okay? - Yes.

- Are you managing to get in? - Yes.

Hein, we’ll be back in an hour. Okay?

Guys, see you later!

Just go.

We’re in a hurry, you know.

- Seatbelt. - Yes. Wow!

Come on Hein, step on it.

Ah, are you still not gone?

No, my grandfather still has to go to the hospital for X-rays.

Are you building a sandcastle?

I’m grounded, idiot.

Because of you.

I have to help dig for a week and can’t use my buggy anymore.

If you hadn't started screaming, I wouldn't be dealing with this crap.

I hope you get lost soon.

Me too.

It’s super boring here.

- Where is your grandfather? - Wah!

Here we go again.

Can we talk for a moment?

In a quieter spot?

Yes.

Maybe they should check you out in the hospital too!

Freak!

Huh!

It’s about my granddaughter Dewi.

She has to play the piano all the time for my daughter.

Piano, piano, piano, piano.

Even at my funeral.

- Don’t you like piano? - Yes, but when she plays the guitar...

regular songs that she likes, then heaven really opens up.

You know, you should do what you enjoy. That makes you happy.

And what makes you happy, you become good at.

That’s the right order.

And secretly, Dewi knows that.

But my daughter also needs to understand.

And I need your help with that.

A big task.

For such a little guy.

- Three weeks? - If you don’t take a break now...

it will only take longer, Mr. Greveling.

You are still lucky that it hasn't torn.

Ma'am, I have a funeral home.

My clients don't wait.

Perhaps people in your area can take over for a while.

Until you are back to your old self.

Hein, be careful.

Your grandpa has torn his knee ligaments.

That means I have to stay here a bit longer to help.

But there is also good news:

Mom texted that she will come pick you up today.

And, did you find each other?

Yes. She wants her granddaughter to play guitar at her farewell.

That's not so complicated, is it?

Does she need us for that?

Her parents insist that she plays piano.

- Hmm. - So. From now on, you will only move forward in this.

I do have an idea.

- Is that yours? - No, it's your father's.

He wasn't a great talent, you know.

Yes. Good.

Now we just have to convince those people that Dewi shouldn't play piano.

And?

Did it work?

I hope I'll get used to this.

Come on now.

Oh, my favorite roses.

Pf. It's really out of our control, Yara.

Next year we’ll make up for everything, I promise.

It's fine, Menno.

Where is he?

And that was just typical mom.

And that's how we will remember her.

Impeccably dressed.

Always in a good mood.

Farewell, mother.

Now granddaughter Dewi will play a piece of music.

A fugue by Bach on the piano.

Dewi, what are you doing?

There's something wrong with that piano.

It was tuned just yesterday.

Just put the book away for a moment.

- Oh! - This is my mother's farewell.

The last tribute.

All we asked for was a piano.

Um...

There is a guitar, though.

It's better than nothing.

- Right? - My daughter doesn't play guitar.

Really?

Dewi, don't do that. It has to be right, or not.

Grandma wouldn't have wanted this.

Dewi, come here.

I always played this with grandma.

♪ Son, she said

♪ Have I got a little story for you

♪ What you thought was your daddy

♪ Was nothing but a

♪ While you were sitting home alone at age thirteen

♪ Your real daddy was dyin'

♪ Sorry you didn't see him

♪ But I'm glad we talked

Thank you, little man.

♪ Oh I, oh I'm still alive

- ♪ Yeah, I - Hein, mom is here.

♪ Oh I'm still alive, yeah I

♪ Oh, I'm still alive

Hein.

And? Did it work out?

- Has she found peace? - Yes.

I think so.

And the girl was really very good.

She has talent.

And if you have a special talent for something...

it would be a shame not to use it.

Hey Hein.

Hey darling.

Come on. We're leaving.

I don't want to come home too late.

We need to be at the campsite by nine o'clock.

I'm staying here.

Huh? What?

What are you saying? Don't be so strange.

You were terrified here.

You were afraid of ghosts.

I'd rather stay with you.

Getting to know each other better.

Who actually believes in ghosts?

Caw! Caw!

Caw!

We're just not accepting any new deaths for a while.

It was an assassination attempt. You are going to find out who did it.

- I find it scary. - It has to be done, Hein.

- What were you doing in my house? - Nothing.

They are just people like you.

You are going to honestly tell me what’s going on.

Otherwise, I'll tell those guys that you pissed on their motorcycle.
