I have this memory of me and my mother. We are walking along the beach.
It was stormy, the wind was thrashing over the water,
making the waves threatening and scary.
But I was not scared, I felt safe.
But then suddenly a wind gust threw me to the ground,
my mother came running over quickly, but instead of crying I had to laugh.
I laughed so loud that my mother started laughing, too.
Then I got up, stretched my arms far from me
and waited for the next gust.
I will miss you.
Everything's blurry!
Thank you!
That one's for me!
Do that...
with South Korea!
Sure!
Really!
I mean it!
It will be good for you!
I will.
Bye!
Break free more often!
That one I have already.
What do you think?
Exactly!
Five more minutes!
Whaaat?!
You will manage!
No!
Thanks!
What?
Ok, I'll show you!
I am currently bidding on eBay!
A caravan?
We are now at 2000€.
2500 is my limit!
Nice!
- Kitchen included?! - Yes, but I have to fix it up a little.
Fingers crossed!
- Where are you traveling? - The Balkans!
A culinary journey!
Wherever it smells nice, I will stop and eat with the people there.
I'm jealous!
I will collect all the recipes and maybe write a cookbook.
What are your plans?
I actually wanted to go to South Korea, for our 5th anniversary.
My boyfriend thinks it's too expensive.
Five years, already!?
I still have to convince him!
Well, you better don't waste time then!
Well, there will be three of you soon, right?
Lilli says it's time.
Who is Lilli?
My ovulation assistant.
- Aha!? - You are ovulating!
Now!
Again?
Should we?
We are eating!
Come one, let's do it.
- Oh no. - Come on!
No.
No family planning?
I'm planning nothing!
Mum was so much tougher on me than you.
Maybe I wasn't that easy.
Jumping on the table,
screaming for attention.
That I can imagine.
- You spilled. - Shit!
We now have this babysitter!
The hourly rate is 11€
11 Euros!?
We could look after him?
No problem at all!
Actually, I have a lot to do for school at the moment.
I think it would be better...
Just bring him along! I can handle him.
I really don't want to bother you now,
but it really would help.
- I don't know? - But it has nothing to do with you!
- I will take care of the baby. - Yes, but...
You will probably need my help.
I can manage, thank you!
And with you guys?
When is something happening there?
What?
Well, a baby!
That would be great!
Well look, Leo is one now
and if they were two years apart, that would be fantastic.
Should we tell her?
Sure.
We have been trying for a while now.
- Really? - Yes.
Wait a minute, we are not pregnant yet!
I am so happy!
You're in the perfect age!
Since when?
For three months now?
For three months you’ve been trying?
I’ve stopped taking the pill now, but I’ve taken it for so long,
it takes some time...
The body has to readjust!
How often do you have sex?
You don't have to answer!
Often! Like...normal...
Good morning!
- I hope you all had a nice weekend? - Yes!
What did you have for breakfast?
What did you have Mara?
Cereal.
And you?
A chocolate roll with applesauce and strawberries.
Our new topic is nutrition!
I already noticed you all eat sweet things for breakfast
let's talk about sugar.
What things have sugar in them?
Chocolate!
- Ice cream? - Ice cream!
Ketchup?
That's right!
I want to show you a food pyramid.
Maria can you draw the food pyramid for us?
I have this chewing gum and it says 'without sugar'.
Have a nice afternoon, see you tomorrow!
And she tripped?
She always has something!
Hello!
Hey.
What a surprise!
How wonderful to see you.
How are you?
My Darling.
Hello, I’m Charlie.
Oh, the granddaughter.
- Luca! - And this is my granddaughter!
She's studying to be a vet.
She is quite ambitious.
My granddaughter is already a very good teacher,
Take her as a role model, then!
Yeah!
I will go get a coffee, would you like some?
No, thanks!
I will join you.
- Do you want a coffee? - No!
I brought you something!
Grandmothers!
Yeah, grandmothers.
They just keep getting crazier.
She still lives alone?
Yeah, but after the accident...
Crazy and fragile don’t really fit together.
I want to talk with my mom, if granny could maybe live with her!
Otherwise I'm worrying all the time.
How's your grandmother doing?
Will she be living with your parents, as well?
Everything is fine at the moment.
I don’t have any parents, so she would probably live with me,
or maybe live in a nursing home or something like that.
Hello?
Charlie?
You have to take him!
There has been an emergency at work, I have to go!
The entire network broke down!
I'm really sorry, Lio.
Here, look!
Ok, let's see how the kids managed today.
No, stay here.
Here, look!
Wait!
Don't...
Hey, wait up!
So many bubbles.
Do you also want to see?
Shit!
No scissors!
Oh, no, don’t cry!
Here look at this.
Charlie I'm so sorry.
Really!
I didn't know he would scream so much.
Just for a second?
Please?
Can you please chew quietly!
Have you decided about South Korea?
What about South Korea?
Didn’t we want to start saving for our new flat?
I can still live here.
Whatever!
Next stop, Alexanderplatz.
Is something wrong?
No, why?
You keep staring.
You looked first!
- No, I didn’t... - Yes, you did.
No!
Maybe I did look.
I'm Marco.
I'm not a criminal or something like that.
Sure?!
- Want to see my ID? - Yeah, show me!
- Really? - Yeah, go on.
That's not you! You stole it, didn’t you?
No, that really is me! Weird phase in my life.
- Blonde hair? - With strands.
You don’t even look so bad with strands.
- You think I don’t look that bad? - I mean on the picture.
You stare so long and start changing things.
Guilty as charged.
What's your name?
- Charlie. - Charlie?
That's my stop.
Wanna change numbers?
017736574332, bye!
Wait, you still have my ID!
Please, listen!
Don't forget your homework, we will write a test about this.
These ticks really piss me off, must be a million of them here.
Don't be such a crybaby.
- Why are we here?! - She said it's a surprise.
Holy shit!
How awesome is this?
What took you so long?
This is so cool, paintball.
Are you serious?
I won.
For free.
For three people!
You don’t have to do everything just because it's free.
Of course you have to!
Give me that! For the whole family.
It will be fun.
Come on!
I like it.
Ok, let’s go.
Grandma, this will hurt.
Oh my...
Go ladies, go go go! Take cover!
Careful!
Grandma be careful!
"Learning korean."
Not so fast!
- Stay calm! - Shoot already!
Shit.
Coming over B.
Flash grenade!
- Charlie, not now! - You are murdered.
It's a tournament!
Where are they?
That looks shaky, let me help you.
It's not shaky at all.
No it's fine!
FUCK!
Sorry, my bad, I don’t know what's up with her.
Yeah, I'll tell her.
Are you okay?
Exhausting, isn’t it?
But fun!
Yes, that's me.
Mrs. Pfeiffer was admitted yesterday after she had collapsed!
She has been hospitalized and examined, and now she is sleeping.
- Is she in pain? - No, we gave her some medication.
She is just very weak at the moment.
What happened?
We had a suspicion for an ulcer.
We did a gastroscopy and took samples.
The samples are now in the laboratory. It will take up to 3 or 4 days.
Don’t forget the cat.
Yes.
Good.
- Where are you right now? - Gumok, Thailand.
- So far already. - It's so beautiful!
White beaches, parties, the ocean.
Sounds great!
- When will you be coming? - So much going on here.
My grandmother is in hospital.
I definitely want to come,
I just need to wait until she's better.
Did you already book the trip? In five weeks I will be in South Korea.
Really?
That would be so nice.
Can I get a hug?
Of course!
Is something up?
Are you happy?
Maybe not at the moment,
but yes I'm happy!
Let's go dancing.
- You don’t want to go dancing. - Yes I do.
You hate dancing.
No, I want to dance with you.
No really, I'm totally keen.
Then we will go dancing on the weekend.
It was your idea!
Yeah, let's do it.
Charlie, I'm hungry.
Let's eat something.
I think back there was a burger shop.
I know a really good one.
But we will have to take the train a bit.
What?
- With the subway. - We just got here!
It is nice here, isn’t it?
Awesome!
Really good!
Do you like it?
- Let's go dancing now! - Hmm?
Let's dance?
Wait a minute.
What is it?
Heartburn.
Do you want to go home?
You have to decide.
I'm still gonna go dancing!
See you later. Bye!
Hello!
Wow, did you scare me!
Hey what are you doing here?
- You are reading here, at the carnival? - Yeah, I can't concentrate at home.
And you? Having fun?
Do you want a sip?
Thanks.
How is your grandmother?
Don’t ask!
Want to go drink something?
Cocktails?
- Yeah. - Yeah?
Almost there!
Third floor, traitor.
You have hard buttocks.
Thanks!
It's so nice here.
The rest you’ll have to do.
I'm floating!
The key?
Hello!
Hey.
I’m Gerry.
Sorry, I’m Marco.
- Did you have a pleasant evening? - Yeah.
- It's alright! - I’m sorry.
I threw up on his shoulder.
I am so sorry.
Thanks for bringing her home.
Thank you!
Well, then...
See you Monday.
- See you Monday. - Bye Marco!
In School.
- Bye. - Bye.
Wait.
Here.
I need to lie down!
Shit.
Where are you?
Everything is spinning.
- Kiss. - Sleep.
Kiss.
Morning!
Are you hungover?
Just take the pill then!
You are doing it anyway, aren't you.
Marco, please.
I don’t feel so good.
I’m so sorry that you don't feel so good. Maybe you shouldn't drink all night.
Will you say something please?
- What? - Say something!
How do you think it would be with a child?
- Beautiful! - Really.
Yes, because you don't have to do anything.
Giving me the child of your sister as soon as it starts crying a little bit.
I would need to leave my job for 2 years, you know. I've just started.
That’s nature. I can't change that?
You want it, but I need to sacrifice everything!
I already have my grandmother to take care of...
and all my children in school. You have no idea!
Yeah, run away!
How grown up of you.
Hey.
- I did it! - What?
I registered to be a teacher.
Are you serious!
Yeah, finally.
And does it feel good?
Not sure.
It will be great. You should do it.
- Exactly what we talked about. - Let's celebrate.
Can you imagine me as a teacher?
With these glasses maybe?
You are good with children, right?
I could always practice with you at home.
Pretending to be a teacher?
Lovely idea.
Charlie is calling.
- I'm going to answer it. - No.
Hello.
Listen, Marco is with me, but I think he needs a little distance.
He will call you back.
I don't want to get involved in this, but maybe you should give him some space.
But yeah, he will get back to you.
Ok.
Bye.
Hello.
My darling.
- Hey. - You're so sweet.
How are you?
- So so. - So so?
I brought you something.
A little bit of sunshine.
Beautiful!
Thank you.
I will go and get a vase.
- You look better. - Yeah?
- I am so hungry. - Hungry?
That's a good sign.
How is the hospital food?
Tastes like shit.
It's cold and has no taste.
I could make you something.
That would be nice.
Chops or meatballs.
Or goulash.
- Hmmm, goulash. - Goulash!?
Red cabbage and dumplings.
Dumplings.
Ok, goulash, red cabbage and dumplings.
Enjoy.
Well.
I will start with the dumplings.
And?
- Come on, tell me! - Wait I still have to...
Okay
I'm completely honest now.
It's awful.
Don't...
But it's not a big deal!
Not everybody needs to be a good cook.
That is my grandmother’s favourite dish.
She made it for me already when I was little.
I know where they have the best dumplings.
Ok, now we will eat.
Hello!
- Good day. - Hello.
And where is the restaurant?
It is still a little bit.
How far approximately, we're hungry, aren’t we?
About 500 miles.
No, tell me.
- I told you, 500 miles. - No, really!
Where are we going?
Banská Štiavnica, Slovakia.
- No. - Yes.
No, tell me.
I am telling you.
And why?
Eat dumplings of course.
Have you been there before, Lisbeth?
We just picked her up from the hospital.
We can't drive eight hours just for dumplings.
Well, yes we can, we are doing it.
So.
If you want to be really sad
then do not invite your friends.
It is best if you stay all alone
and do not let anyone in.
Ooh, never leave your room
and you will see, it can get worse.
Just cry to yourself quietly
and the whole world will agree.
Self pity - the best time of the year,
even nicer then winter depressions,
because you only have that in the winter.
Self pity - give yourself the time
to -for once- really be sad
and all alone.
And?
Well?
Sorry!
What does it say?
Obviously not in our language.
What now...
- And? - Holiday...
But I have an idea. You will go up there.
There is a beautiful view.
A few steps, I will be right behind you.
- Okay. - I will go get us something!
- Okay? - Right, but...
See you.
Oh man.
Oh God.
Quite a view!
Yes.
Beautiful.
Oh, what is that?
Kebap.
Kebap!
Kebap?!
Yummy.
In Kreuzberg it tastes better, though.
Gerry!
It tastes so good.
Maybe that was too much.
It really wasn't that bad!
Kebap!
Well.
But it's really nice here.
I think it's great that you just go for it...
...and just drive somewhere.
When I was at our students age...
I always thought that life would be so wild and exciting and crazy
Everyone had their dreams...
And then...
After school, everything quickly became so foreseeable.
Finish school, then go study...
Then the job where you go every day.
Just to come home to your long-term relationship
to plan to have children, and then move together.
I don't know, it all seems so perfectly laid out for you.
I have somehow totally forgotten what I want.
Don't you feel the same sometimes?
No.
But I hate it, when a plan doesn't work out.
Like these fucking dumplings!
We will make a new plan.
- Which is? - No idea, we'll see.
Thank you!
See you later!
Good morning!
You are five minutes late.
I am very sorry that I am late, it happens to everyone.
You are getting your german test back today.
The results were good, really good.
Mrs. Pfeiffer.
Yes!
- How are you? - Good.
Yes?
Mrs. Pfeiffer we have the results of your gastroscopy.
We took tissue samples.
And have found out that you have a stomach carcinoma.
Do you know what that is?
- I almost fell asleep. - I did fall asleep!
Hello.
Hey Terry.
Gerry!
Well, see you tomorrow!
- Bye! - Bye.
Normally, we should operate as soon as possible.
But with your age, the cardiac defect, and the diabetes,
it is absolutely out of the question. The risks are simply too high.
We will treat you with chemotherapeutics
to reduce the pain and to insure your continued life expectancy.
I'm really sorry for what I did.
That wasn't fair.
I always saw how excited you were, how you absolutely wanted it.
So I thought, I wanted it too.
But that wasn't true.
I was fooling myself.
I was fooling you.
You are very important to me, but I do not love you anymore.
I don't want this anymore.
I want to be by myself again and find out what I really want.
Marco.
I am sorry.
It's alright.
Take care of yourself, ok?
What would you do?
Nobody has asked me that before.
Well...
Can I go home?
Marco and I broke up.
Bummer.
And you?
Do you have the test results?
And?
- I can go home. - Really?
That's great!
Wonderful.
Let's celebrate.
We could cook something.
This thin, right?
You must have showed me this when I was five years old.
No, I never gave you such a knife.
Now look!
Put them all in here.
Come on.
With love and care and your hands wet.
Don't look at me like that.
Almost there.
Thank you for the invitation.
- Take some red cabbage. - Oh, right.
- Nice cooking. - I made this!
To good health.
And a long life.
I already know our next trip destination.
Easter holidays.
We are going to Zarautz, Spain.
They have the best tapas in the world.
- Who? - Us three!
We are a party now.
A culinary travel party.
We will try every kebap there is.
That will be our backup plan.
- Cheers. - Cheers, again!?
- Come here! - Yes?
At first I couldn't stand you!
That filthy car of yours.
Grandma!
Well, it was very spontaneous.
Aren’t you a cute little fatty.
- Grandma! - I meant it in a good way.
Is your grandmother also like this?
My grandmother is dead.
- Too bad, huh? - Sure.
Do you miss your grandmother?
Yes, sometimes I do.
Our relationship wasn't as good as yours.
Us two, huh?
Call me Lissi.
- Gerry! - What's that?
Well, it's short for Gerald.
Sherry, that I can remember.
Sherry, that's better.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
If I am allowed to talk about my life.
I liked Loriot.
He didn't fool the people,
he just payed attention to how things really were.
And when Clay was boxing.
And Elvis Presley, when he would shake his hips.
Those three...
That's all you need.
You can teach that to your children in school.
That was music!
I wanted to...
I wanted to give you this necklace. For this lovely day.
No, this is your wedding gift from grandpa.
My darling, come here.
Grandma!?
There is no need to cry.
I am not crying.
It was really nice.
It is the alcohol.
Oh dear.
Grandma, what’s the matter?
Do you want another sip?
No, I don't!
I'm just a little tired.
It was really nice.
That's mine.
Ok, then...
Bye.
- Bye. - Bye.
What do you have there?
I...
I have cancer.
And have about four months.
Your grandfather...
died of cancer,
your mother wasted away from stomach cancer.
You are grown up.
You are a woman now.
You have friends.
Give it to me.
Please, give it to me.
Grandma, we will find a way.
I can't do it and I won't!
Give it to me.
Are you gonna take care of the cat?
Promise!?
I love you so much.
I love you too.
I will be right back! It stays this quiet. Complete your assignments!
You are leaving?
I didn't want to make such a big thing out of it.
Bye.
But it is.
- Where do you want to go? - We'll see!
I got the caravan.
Want to come with me?
Now?
Come on!
Listen...
I like all of this.
I know.
You rebel.
I get back up.
Stretch my arms away from me and wait for the next gust.
