"You were part of me  in every way  whether we were talking, looking, laughing, kissing or sleeping." "I know the way you move." "Your hands, your skin  your neck, your smell." "You surround me, although you're not here." "And sometimes I see you, but I can't hear you." "And sometimes I hear you, but I can't see you." "3 DEGREES COLDER" "Hello?" "Jan!" "Nothing." "Let's go home." "Are you sure?" "That time you disappeared, I thought I would go crazy." "I waited for your call, for an answer that would explain everything." "It never came." "You had gone, and there was nothing left to explain it." "5 YEARS LATER" "Marie!" "And magnolias?" "They bloom early, but not before March or April." "If you're not bothered about flowers, it's a good time now for beautyberries." "I don't know, somehow I'm missing something." "And I had to spend a whole weekend without you because of this thing?" "I hope we're not the last to arrive." " We might be the only people there." "Jenny?" " Just go right down to the end." "Surround me with luxury and I can do without necessities..." "Oscar Wilde was so right!" "Nothing to do with me!" "Steini, where on earth did you get this?" "I was given it." "A present from my aunt." "You're embarrassed, aren't you?" " Why should I be?" "Give it to me, I'll put it back." "Has anyone seen my cigarettes?" " On the balcony!" "It's nice they're finally moving in together." "Jenny said you're leaving town?" " Yes." "I've been accepted to a master class." "I can't find them." " Hang on, I'm coming." "Didn't I once give this compass to Jan?" " You want to keep it?" "I found it in his room." "You really can't bear to part with anything." "Which box is the cutlery in?" "Are we too late?" " Of course you are." "Take these two in." "7th floor." "There's beer in the kitchen." "I hate moving." "At least it's brought us together again." "Olli?" "Can you give me a hand?" "Hello." " Hello." "Your mother dropped by the nursery this morning." "She's doing fine at the moment." "And your father?" " Working." "He travels a lot." "Where is the little rascal?" "With my parents." "They're visiting." " Are you alright?" "That has to be repaired." " I know." "Here you are." " Thanks." "You're welcome." "Sorry I didn't recognize you." " That's okay." "Pizza's ready!" " Grab it while it's hot!" "What did I tell you?" "I knew it, we'll never get done here." "Just another half an hour and then we'll take off." "You don't have to eat the crust." "Won't it be a bit cold in the studio?" "I think it's romantic." "But you could fix the water heater." "Then I'd raise the rent." "Have one, too." " Leave her alone." "I'll take it, then." "I'm Babette, by the way." "I'd like things to stay like this forever." "Do you think Jenny and Steini are happy together?" "Why not?" "What are you thinking about?" "Everything." "I love you." "Strange that I always forget that Frank and Marie are married." "It drives me crazy that you behave as though nothing happened with that woman yesterday." "I'm not interested in play-acting." "I love you." "I don't have to play-act that." "Leave me alone." "I'll go and get Jonas, okay?" "I haven't been there for a long time." "Frank?" "Have you seen my ring?" "Frank?" "Just a minute." "Where are you?" "Didn't you want to go today?" "Is it really Sunday already?" "Does it still hurt?" "He probably just felt penned in." "I played with him." "He caught me with his nose." "I always thought dolphins were gentle creatures." "They are." "It's just the males that sometimes aren't." "You're pretty special, you know that?" "She lived opposite." "How do you know?" " I saw them." "Together?" "What a nerve." "Kick him out." "Ifl kicked Steini out every time he was unfaithful," "I might as well leave the door open." "What do you think is more important?" "To love or be loved?" "Mum?" "Elisabeth?" "Have you only just arrived?" "What happened?" " I thought you were already here." "That pack was full on Friday." "I couldn't sleep." "I'll run you a bath." "Why don't you bring your girlfriend over sometime?" "I think the cat got out as I came in." "You'll scare Mum to death." "Oscar got out." "I'd almost forgotten how good-looking you are." "How are you?" " Good, thank you." "Dad's got a court case." "He won't be back before the end of the week." "Steini brought them over, back then." " It's nice you kept them." "Your other things are in the basement." " Jan?" "I'm off." "Could you get me something from the chemist?" "Hello." "Just a moment, please." "Bloody cold, isn't it?" " What?" "Bloody cold." " Yes." "I'm sure I had it when we helped them move." "Maybe it fell into one of the boxes." "Don't worry, we'll find it." " Of course I'm worrying about it." "It's only a ring." "Is everything alright?" " I'm just tired." "My father's drinking again." "You have reached the nursery..." "How are you guys doing?" "Good, why?" "Marie seems so closed off." "Not at all like she used to be." "Well, unlike you, she takes life rather seriously." "Yeah, but you don't have to get all upset about it." "Speak to her about it if you're concerned." "I'm sure she'd be pleased." "Actually, I thought it'd be you who was concerned." "How about you guys?" "It's still like we've just fallen in love." "And having Jonas didn't change anything for you two?" "Not for me." "Have you got a girlfriend?" " One?" "I've got thousands!" "Jan!" "Your mother is just interested." "I'm on my own." "And, are you happy?" "Yes." "Have you got a job?" "Do you need money?" "I don't need money." "Why are you here?" "I don't know." "At least give me a chance to prepare your father." "I always used to wish we lived here." "Do you think people are happier here?" "That's amazing." "I was just thinking about you." "Hello, Mrs Engel." " Hello." "How are you?" " Good, thank you." "You staying a while?" " I don't know yet." "I've got to get going, unfortunately." "How's Frank?" "Hasn't changed a bit." "See you at the club?" "Three days later they found his car, at a motorway stop in Switzerland." "My father drove down there straight away." "My mother sat in his room every night." "On his bed." "She was convinced he was dead." "Five days later he called us from France." "And he didn't give a reason?" "He just disappeared into thin air." "By the way, my mother asked about you." "Maybe you'd like to drop by sometime." "I would like that." "Time to start!" "Why don't you come, too?" "Please." "Taxi!" "Stop!" "Criminal Investigation Department." "What's the problem?" "Your ID, please." "Why do you want my ID?" "You've just stolen six newspapers!" "What are you talking about?" "You can't just walk away with them." "Here you are." "This gentleman is my witness that you didn't pay for the papers." "Sorry, I probably just forgot to pay." "I'll pay right now." "He stole the papers!" " Very good." "I saw him, I swear I saw him." "You're a denunciator!" "Inspector, do you know who I am?" "A thief." "And now show me your ID." "Can you hold this?" "You see the photo?" "Do you know who I am?" "I'm a journalist." "Then why do you steal newspapers?" "To check what's being written." "Maybe someone else is hungry?" "Could you bring some salt?" "How else would I know what to write?" "Because there's nothing going on in this fucking place, damn it!" "He'll be at the club tonight, for sure." "Don't you want to come in for a moment?" "Jonas is asleep in the car." "Did you hear?" "Jan's back." "Why do you think he's come back?" "Maybe because of you." "Because of me?" "Do you want to see him?" "What sort of question is that?" "Why should I?" "I don't want to see him ever again." "I just want you to know that it would be okay with me." "Can't you see that your leniency hurts me?" "I thought I heard the cat." "Leave the hall light on for Olli, he always comes in late." "Your father's gotten a bit messy, huh?" "He died three years ago." "I'm sorry." "I didn't know that." "You couldn't know." "I've rented out the studio." "To Olli's girlfriend." "Want a coffee?" " Yes, please." "Have you got something to smoke?" "It's five years ago." "What did you expect?" "That we'd be waiting at the station for you?" "We're adults now, right?" "Adults!" "If you're an adult then I must be mature." "Or faithful." "How brave of him to send you this letter." "He really loves her." "How did your father die?" "Brain tumor." "Two days before he died he said," ""Come on, my boy, tomorrow you'll learn how to ride a bicycle."" "He only weighed 40 kilos and I could carry him to the toilet by myself." "And your mother?" "She went to Hamburg after he died, to live with my sister and her two children." "And why are you still here?" " Because I like it here, really." "Did you know that by the railtrack it's always three degrees colder?" "Jan?" "I was worried about you." "I'm going for lunch." "You coming?" "No, I'm not hungry." "Thanks." "Booth 17." "Kaczmarek." "Why did you send me that letter?" "To change something?" "And what would that be?" "Maybe I just wanted your absence to become meaningless to us?" "How long have you been together?" " Four years." "Why didn't you put that in the letter?" "I didn't think you'd come back." "You know what?" "I think I'd have come back with you back then if you had found me." "If you want to talk to her, she's always at home at midday." "But what makes you think living together was a mistake?" "I don't know, but maybe I don't feel enough for him anymore." "Show him that you are a family." "You said yourself you'd kick him out." "That's got nothing to do with it." "Steini is just Steini." "I have to leave." "I'll ring you again later." "When is it going to stop?" "With hearing damage the most important thing is to rest." "We've reached the pressure level for therapy." "Why didn't you call me?" "You didn't answer." "I'd like to keep you here, Mr Kaczmarek." "Does he have to?" "Just overnight, because of the infusion." " Okay." "The nurse will show you your room." "I'm staying here with you." "I've only booked a table for four at Mario's." "Then we ask for a bigger one." " Don't put yourselves out on my account." "You smell of freedom and adventure again." "How did the case go?" " I don't know." "The main trial begins tomorrow." "Udo is standing in for me." "You look tired." "I'll go take a quick shower." "Come with me?" " What about the coffee?" "Milk and sugar for me, thanks." "Lfit's too cold in the guest room, I can turn up the heat." "I'm sorry." "What?" " I can't stay." "Why not?" "I don't know..." "I imagined it all differently." "It would have been nice to know that you're coming." "How about breast of duck?" "I can recommend the grilled Ocean Perch." "I'm sorry things don't always suit your plans." "Jan, how about breast of duck?" "I'll have the fish." "Without salad." "What about you, Olli?" "Lasagne." "Have you still got a bottle of that excellent Pouilly Fumˆm?" " Of course." "What a shame your girlfriend couldn't come." "What does she do, exactly?" "She's a musician." " Oh, really?" "How nice." "Come on." "I'll be right there." "You go on ahead." "What do you think would've happened if we'd found him that time?" "I don't know." "He's probably just the same old Jan." "Do you think we risk enough?" "How do you mean?" "In general." "In life." "Go to the club." "How are you?" "Be glad you didn't come." "I'm sorry." "The pretty chemist!" "What a small world." "Ifl'd known the dinner was important to you, I'd have come along." "It meant nothing." "So what's it like, being back here?" "Different." "Exactly the same." "I don't think I can do this." " What?" "Let you say goodbye to me so casually." "Is this goodbye?" "Let's dance." "Don't you think this is going a bit far?" "I can't sleep anyway." "Can you look after the cat tomorrow?" "Is everything okay?" " Yeah." "Why?" "Just wondering." " How about you?" "I'm fine." "Well..." "Goodnight, then." "Goodnight." "I'm coming with you." "Was that the woman from next door?" " Yes." "Why don't you give him a hard time about it?" "It's not about that." "What then?" " I'm pregnant again." "Bit embarrassing for a chemist, isn't it?" "Firstly, I'm not an express train and secondly I've never come home so drunk." "There's beer out on the balcony." "Thanks." "So that's why you're always late." " I'm always there when it matters." "Hey, there's a child sleeping in this flat!" "I haven't forgotten." "What have you been carrying around in that plastic bag all day?" "A present." "Be careful, please." "Strange little outfit." "Who does it belong to?" " It's for my daughter." "Why didn't you tell that you've got family?" "Didn't expect him to have, huh?" "No neighbours?" "Certainly not as pretty as the last ones." "Sometimes you're so unbearable." "I just say what I think." "Just thinking it is bad enough." "Hello." "I'm so dizzy." "Shall I get you some water?" "I think I'll get going." "I'm sorry." "You don't have to be sorry." "I'd forgotten all about this." "To give you a glimpse of a whole dolphin," "Noah will now jump out of the water." "Noah is our male dolphin and was born here ten years ago." "The two fins at the front have a special name:" "Flippers." "They are very flexible and steer the dolphin through the water." "I thought you didn't like zoos." "But I like the way you smell." "Are you on your way to work?" " It's my break." "My last one." "We don't have much more time." "Pick me up." "Did he say anything to you?" "But you did talk to him, didn't you?" " He danced." "And he didn't ask after me at all?" "Ask him yourself." "This morning he was still crashed out on our sofa, drunk." "Have you put on weight?" "You know what, Marie?" "Don't insult me when something's bugging you." "Say hi to Frank for me." "Money and a long life." "Lots of money." "A child?" " Not that I know of." "But I see a ring here." "I lost it." "I often think about you." "And what do you think about?" "For example, how we went to your uncle's 50th birthday." "You were driving, the window was open and your hair was blowing about." "Why did you leave?" "I didn't leave." "I just didn't come back." "Strange that she gave up studying." "I thought she was really keen." "Who are you talking about?" " Marie." "Do you want some coffee?" " Yes, please." "I remember how enthusiastic Udo was about her when she worked at our firm." "Have you seen each other?" "You were a beautiful couple." "Put a couple more spoonfuls in." "One, two." "Where were you all night?" "Around." "And did you have a nice evening?" "Meaning?" " Exactly what I said." "How am I supposed to know what you really mean?" "You can tell." " No, I can't." "It always sounds the same." "Are you crying?" "Your father rang." "And your mother was here." "They're looking for you." "Come with me." "I can't." "You know what it is that binds us." "Why should I?" "Because you know what it is to feel like a stranger in one's own life." "Marie." "I need time." "Where were you all day?" " With Jan. I thumped him one." "Do you want a beer, or are you not drinking today?" "How's your ear?" "Since when have you been interested in my ears?" "Just do whatever you want." "Hey!" "You were right." "He's exactly the same." "Oscar?" "We should ring the animal shelter." "Can you do me a favour?" "Now you have an excuse to wear your new shoes." "Yes." "You know why he came back?" "Because I sent him your letter." "Great, so we just don't care about each other anymore." "How can you say something like that?" "Can you leave me three cigarettes?" "Hello." "Hello." " Hello." "Sorry about the other day." "A vodka, please!" "Are you making one?" "Cheers!" "Everything okay?" " What?" "Everything okay?" " Of course." "Please just watch what you do." "Come on." "Can I introduce you to my daughter?" "Unusual place to bring such a young girl." "It's my birthday." " Really?" "Champagne, two bottles!" "Happy birthday, princess!" "Ask your Dad, he knows how to open these things." "To the winner!" "To the winner!" "Let them have their fun." "Come on..." "You're above such things." "What do you think would've happened if we'd had a child back then?" "I don't know." "I haven't ever thought about it." "I often thought at least then something would have remained of our love." "Sad, don't you think?" "Are you cold?" "A little." "What are you thinking about?" "Now I always know where you are." "And I ask myself, who is that behind me?" "I stop." "She stops, too." "I turn and she's gone." "And I'm thinking, hey, she's got exactly the same bag." "I was pretty drunk." "But you're not drinking anything." "Frank?" "It was nice having you here, Jan." "Subtitles:" "Holland Subtitling"
