"presents" "a film by Ulrike Schweiger" "I'm staying with dad." "Evi was asking about you." "What did she say?" "That she can't wait to see you." "Hello Jana." "Who is it?" "Cool that you live here now too." "How have you been?" "I'm better now I guess." "Hello." "Have you met your kid brother yet?" "I don't have a kid brother." "Sure you do." "I think I'd know it if I did." "Your dad and his new girlfriend had a baby." "My dad doesn't have a new girlfriend." "Excuse me, but Bettina's mom was in Vienna, and saw your dad with a lady and a kid." "My dad isn't even in Vienna, he's in America." "And he would have told her first and not you." "Yeah, that's right." "So my mom's a liar?" "And my dad wouldn't have told me?" "C'mon, eveyone already knows." "What's your problem?" "You think I go around lying for fun?" "I'm sick of you small-town people." "Maybe it's all just a misunderstanding." "Wake up." "What are you wearing?" "We're going on a trip." "Come on." "No." "A few minutes more." "Just a little while." "What kind of a trip is this?" "A pilgrimage." "What's a pilgrimage?" "Well, you take a bus somewhere, climb up a mountain, and then you climb back down." "All these old grannies are coming along too?" "Why not?" "I guess they're interested too." "Alright, but you owe me one for this." "Going on another pilgrimage?" "Thank you for this fine morning, thank you for this new day." "Thank you, you've taken away my worries and made them go away." "Thank you for this fine morning, thank you for this new day." "Thank you, O Lord, please let me thank you that thank you I can say." "My, how lovely." "You chose a lovely spot, lather." "That's Jana." "Jana, please have one." "Is it always like this?" "Yes, a service and affervvards we receive the host." "What does it taste like?" "Haven't you ever eaten the host?" "I've never been to church." "Really?" "That's weird." "...except ye become as little children?" "What the Lord says here ...?" "should be taken as a warning and our mission." "Children ... need our love and help." "They will keep our culture alive ... and cary on our be_iefs." "We must protect their vulnerable souls." "Divorce has become commonplace today." "The suflering of the children offen goes unnoticed." "Mother and father must be able to offer support ... to their children, but more than anything to give them their love ... and accompany them through life." "Well?" "Do I get one too, lather?" "Can I have another one?" "Just one..." "Just one for eveyone." "Bravo Berni, well done." "So you guys will be staying?" "Yes, my parents got divorced, and since my mom's from here, we've ... come back to live with grandma." "You do like it here, don't you?" "Yes, the skateboarding is excellent." "You're really good, I saw you yesterday." "I haven't seen my dad in like four weeks." "Ty calling." "I did, but he doesn't answer." "Things haven't been easy for you lately, hm?" "But if you need anything, just come by." "Really?" "Jana, do you want hall a Twinni?" "Yes please." "Which hall do you want?" "Green please." "Sory, orange or nothing." "Please, I want green." "Come and get it, come and get it." "Give it to me." "Leave me alone..." "Open up, stop it." "Are you cray?" "What's wrong with you?" "Leave me alone." "Jana, what's wrong?" "I can't take this place any longer." "Eveyone is so mean to me." "Who?" "Bettina." "Eveything she says is garbage, like that dad's got a new girlfriend ... and a kid - stuff like that." "What a stupid liar." "What?" "Is it true?" "Why didn't anyone bother telling me?" "Ask mom." "Jana, put your skateboard away." "Grandma could slip on it." "You know what?" "I'm not listening to you anymore." "Are you cray?" "You're the cray one." "Why did you lie to me all this time?" "What do you mean?" "What about dad, huh?" "Why did I have to lind out from someone else?" "I hate you." "It's all your lault." "I probably would have leff you too." "It's dillerent from Vienna, isn't it?" "Totally." "Are you homesick?" "Yeah." "Can I spend the night at your house?" "Sure, no problem." "Got plans for tomorrow?" "Jump Heli." "Don't be so boring." "Jump." "Are they still just as immature?" "They're not that stupid anymore." "Heli is totally OK." "Really?" "And who's that ugly guy over there?" "Who?" "Who?" "Over there." "The one in the red trunks?" "That's Edi." "Who's that?" "Flo's cousin." "They don't look related." "I know." "Did it hurt?" "You're all red." "It's not that bad." "Flo, your suit's got a hole in it." "Can't you afford a new one?" "Who you flirting' with, Casanova?" "Can we play belore it gets dark?" "Is your skateboard from Vienna?" "No, my dad got it in America." "Can I borrow it?" "Sure, go ahead."

"The Body of Christ." "Come to the Aigenfeld firemen's fair." "Ulli is only two years old." "She was a present from my dad." "What makes you think he doesn't like you anymore?" "Just because of his new relationship?" "No." "He has a new child too." "That doesn't have anything to do with you." "Ol course, now he doesn't need me anymore." "He most certainly does." "You know what?" "t?" "Send him this picture." "I'm sure it'If make him happy." "I don't know." "The post office is closed." "My mom works here." "Lucky you." "I could give it to her." "Really?"

"I have to go home for lunch." "What's gotten into you?" "Can't you see this is too much for your mom?" "What did I do now?" "Don't play dumb." "The reverend was just here." "What did he say?" "He didn't come to talk;" "he came to ask questions." "So we showed him the door." "Jana, this is none of his business." "He'll work it into his sermons." "No he won't." "Our family matters are private." "This place isn't Vienna." "Eveyone knows eveything here." "Is that my lault?" "Don't be a smartass." "I'm not." "I didn't tell him anything." "Don't lie." "And you get oil my case, Grandma." "Please let me in." "Go away." "Come on, open the door." "Go away." "What are you doing up so early?" "Is it against the rules?" "Where are you going?" "Take a wild guess." "Do you have a moment?" "Ol course." "Boys, go change your clothes." "Does your grandma know you're here?" "She does if my mom told her." "I sent my dad the picture." "He'll be real pleased." "I don't know, he still hasn't answered." "You just have to be patient." "Yeah, I am." "I was real pleased to see you at mass today." "Did you like it?" "Yes, I want to be an altar server." "Boys, mind your own business." "Good-bye, lather." "You want what?" "To be an altar server." "That's sweet, but ... you can't be an altar server." "Why not?" "Jana, you just can't." "Only boys can serve at the altar." "I can do it too." "No girl has ever been an altar server." "Then I'd be the first." "You can't be an altar server, you're a girl." "What do you mean girls can't be altar servers?" "I can serve too." "Please." "I'll see what I can do." "Thanks." "But you could read a prayer request on Sunday." "But see what you can do anyway." "OK." "That's gross." "Who asked for your opinion?" "He doesn't know anything." "Ugh, what's that?" "Fellatio is what it's called." "But you don't even know how to pick up chicks." "How would you know?" "Come on, I saw you at the pool." "So clumsy..." "Bullshit." "What did we do wrong?" "Look, you're already at the pool ... so put lotion on the girls' backs, nice and slow..." "Rub it in real good." "No way." "Don't lorget the ears." "What?" "Let's go, boys." "Can't I finish my drink?" "No." "Get going, I'm expecting someone." "You're such a bore." "Don't be so mean, Edi." "Please, can't we stay, Edi?" "Just a little while." "Oh please." "Heli + Görl..." "Check out what they're doing." "Look, she's a "nymphonomaniac"." "My dad said so." "A what?" "A "nymphonomaniac"." "What in the world is that?" "It's a technical term." "I know." "I swear." "Eveything OK?" "Yes, I'll be right there." "What kind of profession is it?" "It isn't a profession." "Let it rest." "Children." "Pharmacy assistant..." "Monday through Friday." "Pharmacy assistant, Mom, hm?" "What are you writing anyway?" "Prayer requests." "The Body of Christ." "Behold the Lamb of God that takes away all sin." "Lord, I am not worthy ... that thou shouldest come under my rool, but speak the word only, and my soul shall be healed." "Partake of this bread, and you shall live lorever." "The Body of Christ." "Holy Father, thou art almighty and omnipresent, please hear our prayers." "Dear God, you give peace to man." "Please help the people in our parish ... who are living in dispute to get along again." "Let us thus become a place of peace ... in our land." "Please, Lord, hear our prayers." "Dear God, make the bellies of the hungy full ... and dy the tears of the sad." "Please, Lord, hear our prayers." "Dear God, help the Church stop privileging just the boys, and let girls like me serve at the altar too." "Lord, hear the prayers of the congregation ... and lead us along the path your son," "Jesus Christ, has shown us." "Glory be to God lorever." "She's got nerve." "Comes and wants to be an altar boy." "That's our job." "She can't even say ?" "amen.?" "Jana, that was totally embarrassing." "Why?" "All I did was read a prayer request." "Yeah, but here only boys serve at the altar." "I know, but it pisses oil my mom." "Besides it's so stupid that just boys get to serve at the altar." "Great, but you can't change it." "I'm just stating a lact." "Don't even bother tying, just lorget it." "Please." "My grandma's glaring at us, let's go." "Why didn't they say "Please, Lord, hear our prayers"?" "Evi, wait..." "Come have a morning drink ... at the Aigenfeld fair on Saturday." "I have a little matter to discuss with you." "At church today Jana said she wants to be an altar boy." "We've never had that belore, nor will we in the luture." "That's right." "I'll ask you not to let this happen again." "Don't wory, Jana won't bother you at church anymore." "I wouldn't be too sure, if I know Jana." "That's right." "Do something about it, or she can't play with Evi anymore." "Good day." "Same to you." "I'm oil for my interview." "Wish me luck." "Wish yoursell luck." "How long are you and your mom going to keep this up?" "I don't know." "This is one of my lavorite pictures." "Your mom was the first girl in the whole village ... to wear a miniskirt." "She was cute, and so nice and thin." "See." "And here's when uncle Franz ... and all of us went to the lake ... and your mom learned how to swim." "She was a decent swimmer." "How old was she?" "Six, I think." "Here we emptied the storeroom ... and your mom threw a wild party." "See, that's her." "And in this one she's about" "Your mom was pretty, eh?" "Yeah." "Pretty, but wild." "Jana, it can't be done." "You said you would change things." "It's not fair." "I guess I wasn't with you." "At least you won't have militay duty." "Vey lunny." "Something has to be changed." "That's the way it is, and I don't want it to change." "Although I bet you'd be a talented altar server indeed." "Want a cookie?" "No." "I talked to your mother, but it didn't do any good." "Jana was at the reverend's again." "So what if a girl wants to serve at the altar?" "As a parish councilwoman I'll have you know ... we won't tolerate such a thing." "Absolutely not." "Out of the question." "Accept it, or go back to Vienna." "Thought you were too good, but you reap what you sow." "Do what you want, but leave my child alone." "No wonder we've got problems, with a mother like that." "No discipline, no respect, and no role model." "Are you sure you lost it here?" "Yeah, I think so." "Can't we come and look for it tomorrow?" "Looking for something?" "Ciao, Jana." "Grandma, can I use the phone?" "Your dad is in America." "There's no way to reach him." "Hey Jana, what are you doing here?" "I came to see my dad, but he hasn't come home yet." "But he's on a business trip." "I understand, Jana, but you should have told me." "I was worried about you." "You had me scared." "I thought you were lying about that too, and that dad was really in Vienna." "I heard what you said to the old ladies." "You know." "Oh that." "Sory I was so mean to you all the time." "That's alright." "Bye bye." "Jeez, Flo." "What do you two want now?" "Alright, come in." "Can you tell me how to get a date with Görl?" "Is she the fat one?" "She's not fat." "I already rubbed her back with lotion." "Ty a ride at the lair." "Girls like that stuff." "Really?" "And what about you?" "You got your eye on anyone?" "No." "It's not a noodle it's a car." "I can take you on any day." "This I gotta see." "With these cabin scooters ... it doesn't matter if they take away your license." "Push." "Push yoursell." "Hey Flo." "What happened to you?" "I got contact lenses." "Can you even see anything?" "of course." "Have you seen Jana?" "Nope." "Let's get something to drink." "I'd like to welcome our lriends from our ... partner parish Skelenstea in the district of Örenköt_irk, in Sweden." "May I?" "I'll be right back." "Flo looks kind of cute without glasses." "You think so?" "Shall we get some French lries?" "Yeah." "No, I'd rather ride on the swing." "Wanna join me, Flo?" "No, we're getting something to drink." "You can't just show up here with the child." "Now, beat it." "Tell your papa good-bye." "Let's go." "Nobody I know." "Father." "I have a secret." "Do you want to tell me?" "Recently I've been dreaming things ... that end up really happening." "Sometimes we think what we dream ... is real, but a dream is just a dream." "What did you dream?" "I dreamt someone shot the pope." "Don't wory about that." "But maybe we should call him." "No, trust me." "There are so many people guarding him." "Is there anything else you'd like to talk about?" "Yes, someone I trusted deeply ... has disappointed me vey much." "And I'm not sure if I should tell him or not." "Well, if this person disappointed you that much," "I'd tell him, I'd discuss it." "I know about your child." "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust." "The Lord shall resurrect you." "Let the sign of our hope, the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ ... be placed over your grave." "Peace be with you." "Jana, who do you think you are?" "I got permission." "_ust You wait." "I didn't do anything." "lmpertinent little back-talker." "Evi, you stay here." "What in God's name?" "See, now you know why we never go." "Don't let them bully you." "The Church is just for old women with nothing better to do." "Play soccer instead, that impresses the boys more." "Again please, again." "Read it." "Dear Jana, Ever since the skulls ..." "I can't get you oil my mind." "I can't sleep at night because of you." "I haven't had the nerve to ask ... if you'll go with me." "Yes or no? "X" your answer." "Yes of course, pick yes." "Shit, I don't even know his address." "So what?" "Just give it to him the next time we're at the pool." "He's always there." "No way." "If you want, I'll give it to him." "Really?" "Thanks." "Hi Jana." "Hello girls." "Good morning." "Good news for you." "The parish council said you could be an altar girl." "Really?" "As long as the bishop doesn't know." "Thanks, that's nice, but I've changed my mind." "Jana's in love." "Shut up, Görl." "Think it over." "I think once was enough." "But thanks anyway." "Alright." "See you, girls." "Good-bye." "Can you ever lorgive me?" "But then you look affer your daughter." "Hey, are you cray?" "Three, two, one - go." "Stop it." "You guys are so stupid." "Base, I'm sale." "What's up, boys?" "You're the greatest, Edi." "Take your stuff." "You know what occurred to me?" "What?" "They didn't even touch my stuff." "Great." "Yes, so?" "So, it's a sign." "Excuse me, a sign for what?" "A sign for what?" "Oh nothing, nothing." "Those punks are gonna pay for this." "Yeah, but let's eat first." "It's hard to tell." "If she looks at you for 3 seconds, your chances are good." "Really?" "Sure." "Yeah, believe me." "Then I've got good chances with my teacher?" "No, that's bullshit." "Which one is she anyway?" "I'm not telling." "Come on." "No, I'm not telling you." "I already know who it is." "Who?" "The one from Vienna." "No, no, no." "Got you." "She's a cutie." "You think so?" "Yeah, sure." "Are our tops a little too short?" "The rest of our stuff is gone too." "The locker room." "They took my undervvear." "Look at Flo looking eveywhere." "We did a great job." "Look at Heli complaining." "I love the way Flo moves." "Look where he's looking now." "They're running around like lools." "I kind of leel sory for them." "Come oil it, revenge is sweet." "Has he written back yet?" "No." "Oh, I'm sory." "Look, now they're washing their undervvear." "Shit, if my mom sees this." "Don't lreak."

"You'll see, you're going to like it here." "Awesome." "How long has your dad been there?" "I don't know." "Maybe he'If bring you a t-shirt." "Maybe." "Oh, Betty asked me to give you this."
