"Listen to the story of Dicky and Jena daughters of the director of Circus Harlekino." "They shared a bed and also their last cent" "Always..." "B minor." "Cent..." "Minor!" "B minor!" "This one here." "Cent." "Always." "Minor!" " Yes." "I know." "Carry on." "All..." "No!" "Always together for better or for... sharp!" "High upon the trapeze in the shiny tent C7, now G minor." "Swinging above the wondrous world." "Thunderous applause accompanies their luck!" "But oh, how bad when fate turns against them!" "That's wrong too." "Minor!" "So, once again." "What shitty chord is that supposed to be?" " The right one." "Yeah!" " No." "Listen, please." "And stop talking bullshit." "My hands are moist." " Mine too." "It's already hot." " Very." "You're less scared now?" " Yes." "You're still scared." "Dicky, now move to your right." "Okay." "Stay cool now." "Done." " But he knows what he's doing." "I know what I'm doing too, but I have to gain your trust." "And you have to accept my trust." "Throwing is not the problem." "I said so before." "The problem is: you having to stand in front of it." "One more time without you, and then..." "And then I'll stand beside it." "Everything will be all right!" "What's that?" "Can I have a bite?" "No?" "A small one?" "Come on." "Let him eat." "Impossible, this chewy shit." "This one has to be cleaned too." "It looks awful." "Watch out, Timo." " Just put it down." "Is there no electricity here?" " No." "I just told you." "What are you doing?" "Come here." "Willy, he's choking to death." "What did you do?" " Is it gone?" "What did you do?" "What did you do?" " Is it gone?" "Is it gone?" "What did you do?" " The crocodile candy got stuck." "Did you swallow it whole?" " Yes." "You have to chew, idiot." "I want to drink something." " Come on then." "He was drinking dishwater." " No, that crocodile got stuck." "He has to chew." "You shouldn't do that." "You have to bite." "Right?" "Is it gone now?" "Don't do that again." "You give me a heart attack." "Heart attack?" "You a heart attack?" "The quickest in about an hour-and-a-half." "I'm teaching some immigrant how to clean." "Dicky hired him." "He just turned up looking for a job." "I worked in Germany in a circus for two years." "Two years?" "Good." "You are from Morocco?" " And you?" "Tunesia." " How nice." "Our sister country." "You eat halal?" " Of course." "And you pray?" " Sure." "Do they give you a break to pray?" " Yes, they do." "Longer tie wraps would be handy." "Hold on." "Keep it closed, please." "What if you are alone?" "Or me." " We're together now." "Right?" "Right." "Just as well." "Beautiful." "Isn't it fantastic?" "Do you have a tie wrap?" "Lady, is this your sidewalk?" "If you mind your own business as much as ours, you'll be just fine." "Have a pleasant day." "When they've stopped blossoming, they start meddling." "If they would ask..." "Why or how?" "Or say "Please remove that sign"." "People are quick to judge." "Hold it here." "I'd rather collect tie wraps until they fit around my neck." "When did you get that ticket?" "How did you get it?" " From my Mom." "It is yesterday's?" "You're Mom's clever." "It wasn't yesterday's." " So when did you get it?" "Just now." "Sorry." "And now?" "Go have a look at the animals." "Sexy!" "The sword didn't go through the dress." "I tried twice." "You must pull it up." " That doesn't work." "You have to try it out." " We have to practice." "You get thirty a day." "You understand?" " Yes, okay, agreed." "Thirty euros." " Yes." "Seven days." "Seven days you work." "And two weeks no fee." "Okay?" "First I'll watch you." "Then we'll see." "You want this?" " No." "Almost ready?" "I've been looking for Timo all day." "Can't find him." "Why?" "Isn't he with Dicky?" " I can't find him anywhere." "Dicky looks after Timo." "Don't worry about that." "I looked everywhere: nothing." " Don't worry." "He's not gone." "Simple as that." "Don't worry beforehand." "What's done is done." "You can't change that." "It might be hard for you." "It is hard for us." "But what's done is done." "What happened, happened." "It's terrible, but..." "Loser." "Squeeze it, Tarek." "Thank you, Tarek." "Any time." "Goodnight." " Goodnight and thanks." "Any time." "Answer me." " You should have thought earlier about what we have together." "I don't want anything together." "You say:" "I have to show more respect." "Who for?" " For me." "But you say I'm a loser." " That's why you can't show respect." "That's why I ask: for whom?" " Don't shout." "I'm not shouting, you should listen." "You say I have to show respect for my child and for you." "But you say I'm a loser too." "Right?" " You are." "Loser." "Why are you shouting?" " Because you don't listen." "Can't you shout louder?" " Yes, I can." ""Idiot!" "Loser!" "Show more respect."" "Right?" "Show the pictures." "That's a nice picture." "Show me." "Look who's coming." "Fine company!" "The cosmetic surgery wonder woman!" "And their nice new car." " Yes, a lovely car." ""Oh, Freddy, look at this place!"" ""Oh yes, my dear!" - "You can hardly turn around here."" ""You want me to roll out the red carpet?"" ""And see how dirty it all is!" - "Yes, poles everywhere!"" "You see, Freddy, I'm really not happy with this." "You pay money for nothing." "Calm down." "I'm sorry, I can't calm down." "Look who's here!" "Look who's here." "Yes, hello." "How are you?" " Fine." "And you?" " You're so heavy!" "Look the way she's embracing him." "How sweet." ""Our baby grandchild."" ""Hello, baby grandchild!"" "Having fun now the parents have come?" " Yes." "Go and greet your mother-in-law!" "It's not my mother-in-law." ""Hello mother-in-law, hello father-in-law!"" "We'll fix the lights, Dad." "Look, everything is neglected!" "It can't go on." "You spend money on nothing." "It'll always be this way." " Hello." "Hello." "Everything fine?" " Yes." "Everything's fine, but we're worried about the state of affairs." "Go and have a coffee at my Mom's." "We'll do that then." " Go and have a coffee." "Shall we have a talk?" "I don't mind." "It fills me with shame." "Willy, Eveline just said, and I agree... isn't it a good idea that, later, Timo should go to a... boarding school where he..." "I don't think it's a good plan." "You don't like it." "But... why not, Dicky?" "I've taken care of him for two years and now you want to put him away." "But, in all honesty, I'd like to... point out you're not the mother." " But I take care of him." "For two years already." "Yes, but..." "Legally, of course, you haven't..." "So you shove him into a boarding school... when he likes to be with his aunt?" " His father has to decide." "I don't know how Willy..." " Don't you agree with me?" "Well, we can discuss it." "And..." "In terms of upbringing, I don't know." "But for his education... maybe he'll calm down." " Come on." "Calm down." "He's fine." "He doesn't have to leave today." "I'm not making a decision." "Mom." "What is it?" "I want to listen to Mom." " You better call me Aunt Dicky." "Mom is talking." " Mom." "Yes." "I want to eat something." " Go ahead." "Hand in front of your mouth." "Take your drink." "Aren't all those Dutch shipper's kids at boarding school?" "I'm not interested in other kids." "It's about him." "Listen, it's my very own child:" "he's not being banished or something." "No, but isolated." " Right." "Are you afraid he'll become smarter than you?" "Who knows." "I don't understand that you agree." " I'm not saying I do." "Yes, you do." " Don't talk bullshit." "Why don't you support me at all?" "He's not going to boarding school." "The way Dicky looks after him his own mother would have been proud." "But she's not his real mother." "This may sound harsh, but after this I'm done." "It's better if the child stays and you leave." "So leave the child here with Dicky." "You may be the boss of the circus, but I'm the boss of my child." "You didn't act like it these past two years." "Or did you?" "Don't turn against me." " I'm not." "Is that your way of thanking her for looking after him?" "We don't rake things up either:" "you using our trucks." "Or that my Dad helps out financially." " Truck-s?" "It happens to be the best truck." "Am I right or not, Dad?" "You don't intend to pull the child out tonight." "In all of this, the interests of the child are the most important." "I think so too." " If that's so important you should have visited him more often." "And not just come to stir things up." "If the child is that important." "Don't come with a bag of candy like:" "look!" "No." "Really take care of him then." "But not like this." " What's he saying?" "Come on." "Don't be afraid to speak your mind." "He thinks he can." "Right." "Goodbye." "See you soon." " Bye." "Thank you." "Okay." "Stand beside Daddy." "Give it to Daddy." "That was close." "It bounced." "Good boy." "In the middle section, don't drum like that, but go on." "So, from the top." "So." "One, two, three, four." "Timo is still young, hasn't a care in the world." "Timo thinks of today, tomorrow's far away." "The circus is incredible it's glitter is unbelievable." "With Papa and Mama, Timo feels so safe." "He doesn't know:" "Mama is not Mama." "He doesn't know:" "Papa is no hero." "Timo is still young, hasn't a care in the world." "Timo thinks of today, tomorrow's far away." "The circus is incredible it's glitter is unbelievable." "With Papa and Mama everything is "wunderbar"!" "Finished!" "You want some sausage?" "Will you take him to bed soon?" "We'll play tic-tac." "Put your hand on the table." "Other hand." "That one." "Don't do that." "Come on, man." "You're ruining the table." "Don't." " Who's table is it?" "It's my table." " Don't teach him that." "Like this." "Tic tac toe." "Don't you need your tobacco?" "Will you be back later?" " No." "Are you kidding?" "Go find it." "I see it." "Do you have it?" "Yes." "Where's the other one?" "The other one?" " Yes." "Stupid car." "Don't do that in front of the child." "Daddy stole my cola." "Daddy's naughty." "Did you find it, boy?" " I don't really see it." "You don't see it?" "I can't find it." " You should call it." "Car!" "Big Bird car!" "What are you doing here?" "Daddy's naughty." "Can I sleep with you?" "Want to sleep with Mom?" "Come on." "Look, I can't play the drums." "No, here!" "Drum roll." "You know..." "The beginning, and then, like you played it." "And suddenly you have to imagine the car that's approaching them." "It has to become hectic." "Drum roll, then the final crash." "Smash!" "It's happened!" "Play the swing." "Swing, right, then suddenly: drama!" "No, not that chord!" " Look, it's already happened." "But that wasn't the right chord." " It's all over now." "No, not..." " Yes!" "They see the car, right, of course, but the music has to emphasise the drama, he has to do a drum roll." "Jena is dead, fine, but now Willy runs away." "It's also dramatical." "You see, the sister's dead, and she removes the child." "It is something very stirring, it's not just light material." "So, after two years we can celebrate." "Yes." " After two years we can celebrate again?" "Thanks." "Dad." "Thank you, sweetie." " Happy birthday." "Charlie..." " Happy birthday!" "Live long, prosper, and share with me." "I see!" " Good health." "Thank you." "So, well." " Was it a surprise, then?" "Every minute of every day is a surprise." "You eat my cake and I don't get a kiss?" "Well." "Hello." "Nice child you have." "Eats my cake and I don't get a kiss." "Grandpa Peter deserves a kiss." "Right?" "Like that." "Right." "Drive 5 kilometres over the limit and you get a 35 euro fine." "Then don't drive 5km too fast." "You have to go along with the traffic." "Right?" "Or didn't they teach you that?" " Not when it's at the expense of..." "I was driving to Rijswijk." "And past Utrecht there is that section control." "With my trailer, I'm keeping up with the trucks." "I get ticketed, because I drove 4 kilometres above the speed limit." "Then don't drive too fast." " Let them go to hell." "But that's what you get when you drive too fast." "The worst is that I let it run up, and then I have to pay more in the end." "Right." "This should be fine." "But this isn't." "What's this?" "I think we're done." "What is this nonsense?" "Miss Dicky and clown Davie!" "Hey, Tarek." "Yes?" " Tarek, what's this?" "It's not Tarek." "Dicky, come and eat." " Wajdi is my name on documents." "Tarek is my second name." "Then "Tarek" should be written here." "No." "On papers it's "Wajdi."" " Okay." "I'm keeping this." "No." "It's my passport." "Yes." "I'm keeping it." " Why?" "Yes." "Until the end." "Okay?" "But why?" "No." "I would like my passport." " I'm keeping it." "Dicky, come and eat." " I've already eaten, thanks." "Please." " I already ate." "At home." "It's fresh." "Eat." "Good food." "Please." " But I'm full." "A little bit." " Okay." "A little." "Cheers." "Thank you." "You cooked well." " Thank you, Dicky." "It's good?" "Oh yes." "Just what we needed." "They'll come and tell you you'll have to refuel the diesel." "But first eat up." "Then do the diesel." "Okay?" "What about Dicky?" "You understood?" "What are they saying about me?" " That you have a good heart." "Oh." "Okay." "Thanks." "And you're pretty." " That too?" "Thank you." "The generator has stopped." "They should fill it with diesel fuel." "Get out of bed." " No way." "Let them do it, so they know they should do it during the day." "I don't see a thing!" "I don't see a candle." " Get one." "I don't see them anwhere." "You pack the trailer, not me." "If you can't find them, so be it." "And now?" "I'm okay." "I'll be right there." "What about the show?" "I hardly had anything to drink." " I can tell." "Have some more." "See." "I'm fine." "It's not a real illness!" "If he's lying in bed because of..." "If someone's in bed with a fever, I help." "But not for this." " Can you stretch the act?" "Stretch the act?" "I can." "Well..." "I can do that." "We can do it." " But we won't." "But why not?" " We don't feel like it." "Because Willy isn't good to us either." "If Willy was kind to us, then..." " Okay, fine." "But next time don't come to me for help." "I think so." "I think we're next." "Ladies and gentlemen, girls and boys, the next performers... only met a few weeks ago." "And they have rings already." "It's their premiere at Circus Harlekino." "A terrific duo at the rings." "A warm applause for duo Olympia." "How did it go?" " Great." "It was so great, we won't do the knives any more." "And I want a different costume." "Not again." "Go bare-assed." " If you can't talk sense, get lost." "Willy, get lost." "Go away." "Bye." "Want a drink?" " Good night." "Want a drink?" "Okay." "Well..." "This is me." "This is my sister." "Your sister?" "Nice." "Very nice." "What: "tres gentille"?" "Pretty." "Beautiful." "Who, my sister?" "No, no." "What, this one?" "Thanks." "And Tarek..." " Very pretty." "About your passport again." "And what did you do at the circus for two years?" "I worked for two years at the circus." "And your passport." "Are you sure it's yours?" "It's my passport." " Yours?" "Yes." "Really." "He is dead." "He is dead." "What are you saying now?" "What are you saying now?" "It's your brother's passport?" "And how old are you?" "How many years?" "How old?" "Vingt-sept." "Vingt-sept." "Twenty-seven?" "Yes." "Good night." " You're going to bed?" "Okay." "Sleep well." "Thank you." "Good night." "Tarek, why are you so late?" "I was working." "What did you do with the Dutch woman?" "We're just colleagues." "Yes, you nag." "You should stop that." "I work day and night for this lot, and you just nag." "Right?" "I don't nag at all." "I have eyes." "I see what happens." ""Why this?" "Why are you late?"" " I just noticed, is all." "Why does it matter?" " I don't like it." "That's not nagging." " Yes it is." "For your own good." " Well..." "What are you afraid of?" "That I might become happy?" "Daddy will come and get you." "Go to Grandpa." "Go to Grandpa." "You got what you wanted." "Didn't you?" " Not at all." "Playing big mama and sleeping with that idiot." "You don't take care of that child." "It's no good." " No, it's no good." "You can go to hell and your son too." "Don't touch me." " Get lost." "Daddy's very mean." " You're right." "I think so too." "He was shoving you." "Next time we shove back." "Okay." "Timo... is unharmed she takes him to her heart." "He will stay with her she will be..." "Right?" " Yes." "She will be..." "No!" "She will be a mother to him!" "No." "Change chords." "She will be..." " Yes." "I did." "Then you change: ... a mother to him." " No." "I change on the next word." "She will be a mother to him." "It's better if you..." "She will be..." "Let's try something else!" "Then we can see." " Yes, another chord." "See." "He agrees." "It's awful." "No..." " She will be... a mother to him." " Right." "That's where you change." "Then: a mother to him." "Two against one." " But it has to be all in one piece." "No." "It's better that way." " She will be..." "No." "That's worse." "The other's better." " No." "He agrees." "It's two to one." "Where's Willy?" "No idea." "What are you going to do about it?" " Nothing." "You take care of it." "Do we have time?" "We've far to go." "Probably, yes." "Then let's get started." " Okay, here we go." "What a beautiful world" "We depart for our next destination..." "Willy is happy today he's been drinking Calimucho that he needs so much!" "So who cares about the rain?" "Get on board, Jena and Timo!" "Off we drive to our next destination" "That's what we want" "Look out!" "A car's coming, Willy can't swerve." "They smash into each other!" "Bad crash." " Definitely." "Timo is unharmed she takes him to her heart." "He is to stay with her she will be a mother to him." "No, wrong." "Absolutely wrong." " Yes." "She will be a mother to him" "Okay." "You sing that." "You can't reach that note." " Once more." "Watch it." " Yes." "Once more:" "Willy..." "Well..." "The bird family lives in the hat." "Mom, Dad and child." "The cat wants to catch them." "You see?" "He jumps." "He misses." "The birds fly away." "There they go." "All gone." "And now he can't..." "He's not going." "The birds flew away." "The cat startled them." "They're gone." "Are they not going?" "Help, meows the cat..." "Sleep well, honey." "Timo is asleep." "You okay, Dicky?" "You okay?" " Kind of." "What's up?" " What: "qu'est-ce qu'il ya?"" "Dicky!" "I have a present for you." "Nice." "In a different dimension..." "Don't give him so much cola." "Don't give him so much." "Didn't I ask you something a few days ago?" "Didn't I ask you something a few days ago?" "No?" " No." "Not much of a memory for one so young." "I asked you not to wear the Harlekino T-shirt when we disassemble." "Okay." " Didn't I ask you that?" "Now do you recall?" "Yes." "I asked you not to wear that T-shirt when you help disassemble." "I forgot." "Sorry." "Sorry." "I forgot." " No excuses." "Don't wear the shirt." "Okay." "I'll..." "Oui, monsieur." "Oui, monsieur." "Yes." " Okay." "Thanks." "You're welcome." "It's not my fault." " What, it is not your fault?" "There are rules in the circus." "She's the boss' daughter." "And if anything happens, we're all in trouble." "And you're a Muslim." "But you served Satan." "You practice." "So don't do it again, please." "Okay?" "It was her choice, not mine." "You had to say "no"." "Tell her you're a labourer." "Tell her you're not equals." "I'm here to work, not to have trouble." "You're also here to earn a living." "You can make problems in your own country." "We're here to work... to make money, not to make problems." "What about Satan?" " Leave him out of it." "Muslims say:" "Woman is emotional, the man rational." "Use your reason." "Would you follow her into the abyss?" "Well... would you?" "Tell me." "So, no." "Hello, I'm Mr Rabbit." "What's your name?" " Timo." "No, say:" "I'm the carrot." "I'm the carrot." "Hello, Mr Carrot." "How are you?" " Fine." "Do you know my name?" "Yes." " So, what is it?" "Daddy." " No, I'm Mr Rabbit." "Look, there's Mr Rabbit." "Say:" "Hi, Mr Rabbit." " Hi." "I am..." "The carrot." "I am the carrot." "Go get it." "Hi." "Say:" "I'm the carrot." "I'm the carrot." "Surprise!" "Say "hello."" " Hello." "Hello, Mr Rabbit." "Hello, Mr Rabbit." "I'm the carrot." "What's your name?" "The memory survives." "Of who, who, who?" "Of the clown and his smile." "He gave everything he had." "And till when!" "?" "Till his very last day..." "Nobody knew his secret pain." "For in the end no one remained." "The memory survives." "Of who, who, who!" "Of the clown and his smile" "Are we having fun?" "I am." "The hamburgers are selling like hotcakes." "That lady underneath the heater..." "Aren't you melting, sweetie?" "Just her tits!" "You're the only one who can stand it." "The others are getting hot by dancing." "Let's have a glass of wine." "Are there singles on this campground?" "Yes." "Okay, guys." "Let's get that water out." "One, two... and up." "Watch out the broomstick doesn't break and poke a hole." "One, two... hop." "Here it comes." "Let's do it like one, two and boom." "Let's make it wider." "One, two... and go." "Dicky, let me be." "Dicky, let me be." " Take it, come on." "Take it." "Are you going home?" "Yes." "But I can't come with you." "Today I'll go to the family of Abdellativ." "And tomorrow I'll go to Germany." "Today at four, there's a show at Circus Harlekino." "At four o'clock." "Four o'clock, yes." "With top-notch performers." "And real circus clowns." "And with the beautiful Miss Diana." "With her hoops." "With 24 hoops at once." "Artistically beautiful." "Top-notch performers on the rings today at four o'clock." "At Circus Harlekino." "Today, a show at four o'clock." "One... two..." "Is the shirt too small or did your head get so big?" "There he is." "Boy oh boy!" "Where are you going?" " Out." "We're about to start." "Will you be back on time?" "Hello!" "Call your Mom." " Mom." "She didn't hear me." " She doesn't listen so well sometimes." "Joepie." "Joepie?" "Did I have something else of yours?" "Perhaps the child could stay with me." "And you come and get him on the weekends." "No." " Why not?" "That's not an option." "It's my son." "And when I leave here, Timo comes with me." "End of discussion." "I don't want... to have the idea that Timo becomes family property." "So I don't have any rights to..." " I'm not saying that." "We're not going to fight about it." "That's not why you called me, is it?" "No." " Well then." "I mean..." "I'm his father." "He's coming with me." "And..." "Or we stay here, if that's really what you want." "Only if you really want that too." "It's not just me." "Simple as that." "For me, it's no use just staying here for the circus." "If I just had to choose for the circus, I'd say..." "I'll hitch my trailer and I'll... leave this week." "If you like the idea..." "I'll consider staying here." "But you have to like the idea, too." "So, you have to say:" "Yes, I want to give it a try." "Or, no, I don't want to try." "Your choice." "But then I'm done." "And Timo and my stuff... come with me." "So, tell me." "You're asking for a choice." "This is it." "This is what I think I want." "If you think differently, say so." "Tell me you want to try." "No, we need another song at the end." " No." "Right at the end?" " Yes." "But then we need... an upbeat song." "What?" "When the film ends and she walks along the streets." "She wonders how things are to go on." "It's thoughtful." "A thoughtful matter, not cheery." "She's wondering how to carry on." "So the film ends with a sad song." "Great." " No." "Not sad." "Thoughtful." "Thoughtful." " There's a difference." "No." "One can see it positively." "Life will go on." "Let's see if it looks good." "It looks quite okay." "Let me get a paper." "It looks cool, let's see..." "Timo is a little child, right?" "Right." "A super tattoo." "Made especially for you." "No one has this." "Just you." "That's no surprise." "No." "Because it's your story." "Do you want some water?" "The 'o' is done." "Almost." "Just a few stripes." "Let me know when you're ready." "Can I talk to you?" "At the gas station." "I lost your sister already." "Right?" "And now my grandson has to go." "Timo's crying his eyes out." "Nice, isn't it?" "No." "This doesn't feel good." "There must be something else." "Did you discuss it with your mother?" "Dicky... think." "Pull it." "Mommie." "And well now she is alone." "Silently asking what's to become of her." "There is no one there to keep her company did she do everything wrong?" "But life will go on the world doesn't stop turning." "And though she is very alone." "Dicky thinks like a star." "Yes, the circus gives her strength it's everything she has." "Her whole world will be the circus it will be her life for all..."
