Hail Mary
full of grace
the Lord is with thee,
blessed art thou.
amongst women
and blessed
is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mary
pray for us,
for us sinners,
Now and at the hour,
At the hour
of our death.
Amen.
I thought you weren't coming, Dad. - He's missed the beautiful singing.
I still heard the whole of the closing passage.
Didn't Mrs Twerdy sing divinely? - Really beautifully. What's her name? Twerdy?
Yes, Karin Twerdy, a famous Finnish Oratorio singer.
So .. Reverend Mother.
How nice that you made it possible. - I'm very happy.
Papa is very correct, But he always comes too late.
Well, we'll still be seeing each other, hmm?
They sang beautifully. - And so I had to ask Mum.
May I present my father and my brother Thomas to you?
Gontard. - We'll stay together for a while, madam?
Psst.
You have to forgive her
But my daughter, Christa is mandated to be sovereign over all people.
You should be more interested in my car, I think ...
Great, I know already! Come on Daniela!
I must confess that I am allowed to marvel about you for the first time today.
I have also never given concerts in Germany concerts.
Uh, I was married in Germany , and now ...
Excuse me, Sister Benedicta is waiting for me.
It's wonderful that you're here, Karin.
Daniela didn't believe it,
But I always told her that, one day, Mum would come.
I need to thank you too, that you have accepted her like that
That is why you sent her to me.
Papi is a brick, He always brings something.
Everything for the sisters, for the trouble they have with you.
Isn't he a rotter? - I don't know.
Don't let yourself be talked into it. I am a very likeable person.
Maybe ...
Maybe you're right.
Running away from oneself.
Karin, is something the matter?
You are hiding something from me. - How do you work that out?
I so want to know more about your life.
No. I will not lie to you.
Don't you trust me?
In that case I wouldn't have left my child with you.
I don't want to intrude but perhaps I could help you.
I was happy about our reunion, Karin.
I am no longer Karin.
Do you think you can just grow a different name?
Marita, Marita, Marita, Ahoy!
(Song " l know a Jimmy from Havana")
l know a Jimmy from Havana and a Johnny from Hawaii,
Sailors, seamen. - Marita, Ahoy!
I've kissed a Pedro from Seville and a Tommy from Shanghai,
Sailors, seamen. - Marita, Ahoy!
I know that these brave men don't dream about and sleep
their nights in the harbour because they have to do it.
And if they are bold, well, I am not against it
and give them my blessing, I leave none of them alone.
I know a Jimmy from Havana and a Johnny from Hawaii,
Marita, Marita, Marita, Ahoy!
Sailors, sailors, sailors, ahoy!
I have a heart for those guys on the sea,
who are outside for so long alone.
They have in the wind and waves such a hard time
and no one is there who loves them.
Here I am Here they'll find one,
who likes to give them some bliss.
I know a Jimmy from Havana and a Johnny from Hawaii,
Sailors, seamen. - Marita, Ahoy!
I've kissed a Pedro from Seville and a Tommy from Shanghai,
Sailors, seamen. - Marita, Ahoy!
I know that these brave men don't dream about and sleep
their nights in the harbour because they have to do it.
And if they are bold, well, I am not against it
and give them my blessing, I leave none of them alone.
I know a Jimmy from Havana and a Johnny from Hawaii,
Marita, Marita, Marita, Ahoy!
So ..
Now you know what has happened to me.
Marita.
Every night I entertain my guests in the "Taubenschlag".
Poor Karin ...
How nice that I would meet you here.
I can't thank you enough.
You have moved our hearts so much.
This is not only a question of your great art.
Only a true believer can sing like that.
God bless you, my daughter.
Sweetie ... Come
I remember it still the same as today.
I was still quite small and you came in the evening to my bed to pray.
You had guests, it was indeed a feast.
I can still see clearly what type of dress you wore.
You had a carnation bouquet in your arms and said:
" Look, what beautiful flowers I have received".
And I just looked at you and softly said:
" My beautiful Mum ".
And then when I was alone again, I still had the thought:
" My beautiful Mum " until I'm asleep.
Mummy, why don't you take me with you? Why can't I be with you?
don't torture me, my child.
When you finish school, then I'll be ready for you,
then I'll give up everything else, and you'll always stay with me.
Why not now?
Don't make my heart so heavy and be sensible.
Morning your holiday starts, and when you come back in autumn,
then there are only a few months left, then I'll pick you up.
Daniela?
Sister Benedicta, can you tell me why I can't be with my Mum?
She has her job.
You have to ask Mum that if she came to us, Christa would be happy too.
That would be my most beautiful holiday. - I'll try, my child.
Hello!
Shall I come, Mummy?
No.
Oh dear!
Well, are you now sorry that you have come?
No, these are wonderful days, the one more beautiful than the other.
I must tell you how grateful I am. - We are the ones to be thankful.
I have also for the first time learned something of Daniela, I'm getting to know her here again.
She's really grown up in between times.
I'm glad at least if you could stay as long as possible.
How nice it would be but it can't be done.
So, how many weeks you can stay? - I still have touring commitments.
So, how many days you can still remain?
Well, let's say a week.
I won! - Congratulations! Great!
You are such a great long-distance swimmer.
But now I'm tired, I need to rest.
When the wild roses bloom ...
That's a song from my country.
Why is my heart so heavy is my heart so empty
when the wild roses bloom.
Then the boys lay wild roses on the beds of the girls.
Then wishes and dreams are fulfilled.
Like that I can spend hours without moving.
Beautiful, to look into the blue sky.
I don't want to go back.
Christa honks the horn.
She'll soon send out a rescue team for us.
We prefer to swim back.
So, don't you even want to go back?
A steamer.
Run for your lives! Goodbye!
Tommy!
Tommy ...
Just because you said Tommy so beautifully.
Altogether stupid that we don't use the familiar form, isn't it?
I don't know. - No? Goodbye.
Tommy!
Dear Tommy!
" Dear Tommy", you said.
No, you may ... you can't use the familiar, I haven't said yes to it.
Tommy! - don't worry! I'm here.
May I ask you to tea? - I'm coming!
How charming, You spoil me.
I like spoiling.
May I? - Please.
Thank you.
What today, toast or brown bread? - Toast please.
Butter or jam? - Please just butter.
Mmmm, delicious.
Hold on, that'll be my call.
From work? Nothing doing! Let it just be declined.
I am traveling, unknown, who knows where.
Listen Conny, I'm staying longer, as I wanted.
Yes, I can't say yet.
You have to manage, make for yourself a good substitute act.
Nonsense, it still ok.
I'm away, where, no one is to know.
Yes, I am happy.
Good-bye, boss.
Frenz! - Yes?
Frenz, come over here.
Have you heard the word? The boss is staying away longer.
I think I need to immediately engage a new act.
With the dancing girls alone you can't make a program.
Come on, we'll continue to practise.
Where's Christa then? - She's coming by boat.
See you tomorrow night at the club? - Tomorrow night? No chance.
We agreed to be at my old master's for a some Punch.
Another time. - But bring your girlfriend with you.
Aha!
What's the matter with you? Have you quarreled?
Dad should really buy a decent turntable.
With television, we'd have cinema in the house.
Yes, fine, but a cinema is not a home, and my home is not a cinema.
Why always so strict? - Yes, ma'am.
Listen Sir, yesterday there were problems with the new programme.
Some are taking it seriously when he throws the woman down
yet it's part of the dance.
You ldiot! That's part of the act!
It's in the program!
How can you maul the man? It's my best hit!
You clown, you!
Where's Marita?
Why is my heart so heavy, is my heart so empty
when the wild roses bloom?
Then I remember that youth's dreams escape.
I sat many, many times there with you in the valley,
where the wild roses bloom.
Oh, that was long ago,
and I think you don't know it any more.
And you wound a chaplet of wild roses in my hair,
and spoke " Wait another year then we'll both at the marriage altar ".
Why is my heart is so heavy, is my heart so empty
when the wild roses bloom?
Then I remember that youth's dreams escape.
Yes, what's the use if you complain and what's the use if you cry,
All the flowers in the world nevermore smelled as in the past.
I sat many, many times there with you in the valley,
where the wild roses bloom.
Oh, that was long ago,
and I think you don't know it any more.
That's why my heart is so heavy
that's why my heart is so empty.
Hurray! A private concert just for us alone.
But have a glass of Punch Please drink with us, dear doctor.
Please, gladly.
Ma'am, we can duck out of this? - Yes, I'll sacrifice myself.
Tommy, take your glass with you.
If I had suspected that there would be a family party in progress ...
It's only an hour ago that I came back from a journey
and suddenly heard this remarkable voice.
Ma'am, that is Dr. Rieser, our neighbour.
General Counsel and Leader of our supervisory board.
Frau Karin Twerdy. - Forgive me if I'm disturbing you,
But your fascinating voice ...
Too bad doctor that you didn't come earlier.
Frau Twerdy sang Schubert and Brahms, wonderful, so intimate in our family circle.
I am impressed by where and what the lady sings,
it will always be magical.
To your health, madam.
Too bad that one is not a man ...
... so we can give a kiss to each other.
I am glad that I'm a girl. - Yes, you
I need to get in the shower.
The damn Punch
Good night, Doctor.
It was nice seeing each other.
Tell me Mr Gontard, did you hear Madam today for the first time?
Yes. She only performs abroad. - Ah, so, so, so, so ...
Well, one should travel more in that case.
Good night. - Good night.
Daniela, don't be alarmed.
This is a night during which one can't sleep.
Are you crying?
I really don't know how to thank you.
These days with you, it's a new life.
I now know what is missing from my house.
And not just my house and my children ...
... but also from me. - Please, Mr. Gontard.
I want to go in, it's getting cold near the water.
Are you still awake, Mum?
Why aren't you asleep? - I can't sleep.
Mum, are you angry with me? - Why should I be angry?
I don't know ...
May I come in bed with you? - Mmm.
Can I put out the light?
So wonderful to be in your arms.
That's so long ago.
Sweetie ...
Mummy, I'm so happy.
I know.
You know?
I am your mother.
You have to be happy too.
I am, yes.
No Connie, listen to me!
I'm speaking from the post office.
You must sign up immediately with a broker.
I need a buyer for the "Taubenschlag".
Yes, you've understood completely, sell immediately.
I don't want anything to do with the business for one day more.
Because I'm so happy, don't let me destroy my luck.
I'd rather the place went today than tomorrow.
Well then.
Hello? Connie?
Whatever you do, send me an urgent telegram from the agency.
The tour dates for Scandinavia have been brought forward.
Yes, yes ...
What is it, Connie?
The boss wants to sell. - Why?
I don't know. Perhaps because of a man, perhaps because of Daniela.
Well, that's what we thought, I am provided for ...
No love ... I am used to grief.
Now in my old age I have to walk the tightrope again ...
... then I'll take you with me, my young child.
I'll make a decent artist out of you yet.
Good morning, Mr. Counsellor. - Good morning, madam.
Up so early? - I am glad to have met you.
I wanted to speak to you briefly yesterday evening but no opportunity presented itself.
I was so tired. Evenings I'm so wonderfully tired here.
Otherwise, you would hardly be able to perform your art.
Quite right. Things are starting off again.
I have to leave immediately.
My tour of Scandinavia has been brought forward.
Oh ...
Then I'll spare you my question.
As you like.
Excuse me, I still have all sorts of errands for my departure.
Ma'am, all the best.
Mum has a terrible job.
Middle of the nicest time a telegram comes. - It's bad, but it does not help.
You're in a better state. - Yes, we'll look after you well.
You are a dear boy. Thank you for being so nice to Daniela.
Well? And Dad doesn't get a kiss?
Maybe when I come back. Thank you for these wonderful days.
Please let us always know where you can be reached.
Daniela knows the ropes, the concert agency forwards the mail.
The passengers for flight E 218 to the aircraft please.
Already two months and I haven't got rid of the place.
Mr Schimmel has the task, he certainly wants to earn his commission.
I can't give the business away, but I need to get rid of it.
That was a mistake that you won't perform any more.
If you want to sell the place, sell it for a good sum.
And that can only happen when you yourself perform. You can see what's needed for the place.
So ok, once again then.
Is the new dress there? - Yes, it's just come.
Mr. Schimmel said, if Hanke, the, scrap metal dealer doesn't strike today,
then it'll be our own fault.
But I'll make sure that the place is heaving.
This has to be an evening like the earlier ones in the "Taubenschlag".
Here!
Marita, Marita, Marita, Ahoy!
See our Marita! Marita is dancing and singing!
Mr. Laenglich, you don't go past. Here is Marita, she'll inspire you.
Marita is the attraction and the sensation!
Good evening, Doctor, Do you want to see Marita!
They're selling the place, boss.
The guy's bitten. - My cognac.
Out you go, I need to change my clothes.
Mr Schimmel has the contract with him, to be signed.
His percentage will be safe.
I told the girls they can drink as much champagne as they want.
There has to be a good atmosphere.
So we'll do it, we'll make Mr. Interested close on it?
He shows a very broad interest, Mr. Interested.
The way he's staring at me ...
Close your eyes and then flush it away.
The main thing is that he signs the contract.
When I think that I have to invite the guy to the table again ...
But she can't dance, otherwise she is indeed Hui-Pfui.
Mr Schimmel, do I get involved?
But the fee I'll get from your commisison.
I'll prolong it. - With fee?
Diet and loving care.
Boss, please.
Ah, I'm coming.
Where have you been hiding?
Why aren't you in the restaurant, at the table with the guests?
I am an artist, not a hostess. - And what am I!?
Don't play the shrinking violet, what you get paid for?
She doesn't mean it.
What's wrong? What's the matter?
(Song, " Don't wait for love with a capital L ")
Don't wait for love with a capital L,
Don't wait for eternal fidelity,
Don't wait for the unknown happiness, that doesn't bloom for you.
Many hours of your life
you've been waiting for it in vain,
and then you finally see that no miracle will happen.
I pride myself that they all love me, those that I please tonight.
and this is the greatest bliss for me.
If they worship me from afar, from nearby they desire me,
and pine away with longing, I think:
Don't wait for love with a capital L,
Don't wait for eternal fidelity,
don't wait, because they don't make you happy!
There's only one thing you should wait for
And that's tonight's kisses.
If a man speaks to me of love,
of love for eternity,
I can only say: "I don't want that as I have no time ".
Don't wait for love with a capital L,
Don't wait for eternal fidelity,
Don't wait for the unknown happiness, that doesn't bloom for you.
Many hours of your life
you've been waiting for it in vain,
and then you finally see that no miracle will happen.
I pride myself that they all love me, those that I please tonight,
and this is the greatest bliss for me.
If they worship me from afar, from nearby they desire me,
and pine away with longing, I think:
Don't wait for love with a capital L,
Don't wait for eternal fidelity,
don't wait, because they don't make you happy!
There's only one thing you should wait for
And that's tonight's kisses.
That's why you don't need to weep when Marita misbehaves.
Marita, don't you want to stay with me?
You can't pay enough! - We'll see about that.
No, no, no ... - But I want to whisper something to you.
We talk about it later, in my dressing room.
Marita, my darling, where are you going? Stay here.
What is it, have you seen a ghost? - Maybe ...
Now, what can we do for you?
Oh, come on Sweetheart, let's have a drink. Come on.
Life often depends on little things.
If I were with the children and not at a ship's launching ceremony
Maybe I'd never have learned of your appearance at the "Taubenschlag".
I haven't disappointed myself tonight.
I couldn't invite you to the Esplanade Hotel.
They wouldn't allow such meetings.
I understand ... Daniela is here also.
Yes.
Please ...
Thank you.
I didn't come to make accusations.
Or to say to you what you destroyed in me last night .
It's now no longer about me.
It's about my boy.
Thomas loves your daughter.
They wanted it to happen just as much as I did.
What did you think you were doing, Madam,
that you came into my house with such a lie?
You took our love and our respect ...
... as if they were, what you expected.
Maybe because I was hoping, I could again be what you saw in me ...
... and what I once was.
Last night I didn't have the impression that you longed for it.
But I don't expect an explanation from you. It's about Tommy and Daniela now.
If I promised you that I would disappear out of Daniela's life...
I don't know how you imagine it. Do you want to leave the world?
Leave the world ... Yes.
I will leave the world Mr Gontard.
Leave your clean, immaculate world.
Don't you think that cleanliness comes more easily
when you live in a sheltered house, as you do?
With a roof over your head, that just stays there?
Or do you think I enjoy this life?
I had to live, no matter how.
I had my child, I couldn't die in the gutter, like so many at that time.
I tried everything in this country which is not my homeland,
where people can always hear that I am a foreigner.
And that was all in vain.
Until at last, I was so far gone ...
... that I wanted to jump off the bridge with my baby ...
at the last minute someone stopped me.
A man, an old artiste who helped me.
With whom I have built up things here.
I could understand everything. But when I think about it ...
... when I saw you before me last night ... No.
If I could say what was expected of me ...
Do you know what was expected of me, last night?
What?
My daughter will know the truth, She will choose between you and me.
And you hope that she will decide for you?
For this life here, is that what you really want?
And you say that you love Daniela.
Remember that she's blissfully ignorant.
And she believes her mother is on tour in Scandinavia.
So ..
And now I ask you to leave me alone.
Go!
Goodbye.
What now, boss?
You know, I'm no longer the boss. The "Taubenschlag" is being renovated.
Did you tell him that you won't have anything more to do with the place?
No. - Why not?
I would be happy if I could simply have said it to him.
I am not bound to it, it's behind me.
But as he stood there, full of his moral conscience ...
No.
I will not beg.
And what will happen now?
You need have no fear, Conny. I have spoken with your new boss.
You'll stay in the business.
Mr. Hanke and I ... If it works out.
Well, it does not matter.
An old artist can manage.
I'm tough. - Me too, Conny.
Everything we built is now gone.
The place sold ...
Yes, yes, that's life ...
Yes, great ...
Where will you go now, boss? - Away.
First to my homeland ...
... so that is at least true that Daniela doesn't hear from me again.
Leave the world, he said.
What?
What did he say, Mr. Gontard?
It's not it possible that a man can say such a thing.
If I'd heard that, he wouldn't be safe on the street.
It's better this way, Conny.
Here is the cheque from Mr. Hanke.
Daniela's future is secure ...
... and ..
be good, old Conny. 551 .
We don't know where we are travelling to.
It does not matter.
Since my beloved is taken, I also want to live no more.
Can you understand that?
It would be best if you ... But no one has such a right.
That is why I was so happy, that I could hide a little.
I have told no one where to find me.
But it is so difficult.
This morning, when we drove away, I wanted to turn back.
I've got through my marriage, the nationality.
But it is a foreign land, strangers.
I't's my first time abroad.
The consulate gave me a job as housekeeper in the country.
I must send a telegram. Oh, please forgive me.
Doctor Melatin, I must send a telegram, that you pick me up, I don't know anyone!
Here is my passport, Elisabeth Nilsson. My husband was called Sven Nilsson.
He was a chemist. He was burned in the laboratory! You may have read about it.
All this trouble until I have all the papers. I'm so nervous!
Excuse me. Is there still a place vacant?
Sorry!
It would be best ...
But no one has such a right.
An accident! The lady has fallen off the train.
In front, by the dining car.
The engine of another train has dragged her up here.
Hopefully she was already dead
Who is it?
Dig here! - Yes.
Happiness, if one can hide at least.
So that no one know where to find me.
I must send a telegram.
Doctor Melatin ... Yes, I don't know anyone.
Can you come and get me. Doctor Melatin ...
Are you Elisabeth Nilsson? Who was recommended to us by the consulate?
Yes. - Right.
Is that all your luggage?
Don't worry, come with us , we won't go far.
The woman will complain. We should be in the house at Vespers.
Are we to blame if the steamer came so late?
So, just ride Selma.
So, here we are.
Good evening. - Good evening.
Why have you come so late? - We were expecting you last week.
Yes, before I had my papers ...
Tomorrow you go straight to the office with them.
Here at the border, they won't be a problem.
Selma can go with you. - I'd love to.
Tsk, that's a cross to bear with these strangers in the house.
When they are young, they are worthless, and then work is too hard for them.
No work is too hard for me. - Here you have to knuckle down.
The house is large, then the practice ...
You thought up a strange welcome, mother.
Start as you mean to carry on.
Come with me, I'll show you to your room.
That would be ... your room
I'll find you another room ...
So ..
Here you can set yourself up.
No one lives next door any more. Everything is the way it was.
That's where my boy ...
... our son lived, He didn't return from the war.
That hurt my wife. Since then, she's been like that.
No one should touch anything in the room, only her.
Sometimes she goes there quietly the whole night long ...
... as if she's looking for something.
But if you hear her, don't be afraid, she's back to usual the next day
I'll send up your luggage.
Requiescat in pace. (Rest in peace)
Do you have any further news?
I of course immediately notified the authorities of the matter.
According to the official findings, an accident.
Sister Benedicta, you're a believer.
Can you explain such a senseless death?
I can't.
And my father ...
... he has no explanation.
I don't even know how to tell Daniela.
Daniela! Daniela!
God moves in mysterious ways.
Sister Benedicta, I can't believe it.
Let me do it. I can see you're not used to it.
Please let me, it helps me.
I would not worry too much about the woman down there.
Oh, she's sick. - She was also previously upset.
The son made her life a hell with his jealousy,
on and on he went.
When he wanted to marry Jesta from the pharmacy ,
and everyone said that she killed herself.
Poor woman ...
If I were you ...
But I can't really go, I have my man here, I'm marrying soon.
Where must I go? But ...
So, you deliver it ...
... so, you deliver it just past the mountain.
He doesn't want to know anything of my medicine, but he has to swallow it.
And now our turn.
Yes, mmh ...
The young woman from the ferry terminal delivered something small in the night Doctor.
Really? Is it a boy, or is it something stupid?
Ah, a boy, sir. - I'll look after her.
Your wife should make you a decoction. The old home remedies are the best.
And the next time do it better, you old fool.
One will grow old, Doctor.
But this is so far the only secure means to live a long life.
Yes, we can interpret it that way.
Isar is tense? - Yes.
Besides, I've forbidden you from drinking coffee.
But when I come to you, there's always coffee on the table.
Well, if a doctor forbids me coffee I'll look for another doctor.
Ah, yes ...
Goobye Peer. - Goodbye.
You look far too pale, you sit too much in your room.
Not "that you're gonna get more ill" ... ... "that you will get more ill".
I can't get used to this formality.
There's no one around, that I have to be formal with, except you ...
You ... except, my God, I'm going to remain informal, that's enough.
May I, then?
Now we'll go to the ferry terminal, to say good day to the young mother.
Give me the baby!
That stupid person should get a beating.
Why are you so frightened? Nothing's happened.
No. But as she was running towards the car ...
I felt as though it were my child ...
Yes, why? You've never said anything about a child.
Do you have a child? - Yes.
No!
I had a child.
Daniela, are you coming then? - Daniela!
Right now!
It is not because of us, but your Tommy is dying of longing.
I'm nearly ready.
Silly when young husbands show off.
But the honeymoon is over, Now you can get back to normal.
Tommy's not like that.
If you're not good, then I'll kick you out of the car.
Daniela, you need to educate your husband better,
he abused your bosom friend.
Daddy, I'm coming to you, so the two of them can see how they cope alone.
Yes, you come to me.
Tommy?
May I ask for some money? - Of course you may, come here.
Perhaps this evening, their Lordships can come to a gala performance?
Gladly, my little one. If we get back in time.
Sorry, can you drive quickly to the hospital, something's happened.
The clown, he has a heart problem. We hardly caught him from the rope.
l've called them, the Doctor's coming in the ambulance.
Good evening, Mr. Gontard. - Good evening.
It could have been bad.
A miracle that he didn't crash off the rope.
Come, let's take him to the hospital. - No, the doctor is almost here, Mr Gontard.
Mr Gontard ...
Gontard ...
Yes ...
... the man who drove my boss to her death.
You are responsible for her death, Mr Gontard.
You shouldn't get upset. Be calm. The doctor's nearly here.
I don't need a doctor!
An accident, they said ...
Fallen out of the train ... I know better.
I know what my boss said that morning
when you were gone, Mr Gontard.
Leave the world. Yes, yes ...
It's over. I can't do it any more.
Frenz, come very close to me ...
I'll leave you alone now ... - No, Conny!
You have no reason to make accusations.
It was an accident.
The official statement must suffice.
I don't think that I am reassured,
after what I experienced last night.
I can't stay here. I'm leaving tomorrow.
I told Daniela everything
she knows every word that I had said to her mother.
I don't want her to be reminded of it daily by my presence
Perhaps it would have been better if you had spoken earlier.
Some evening on the terrace? - Yes.
But when she left so suddenly, I left had to assume
that she knew the consequences of her actions.
How do you know who she was?
I had but a short time before admired her in her establishment.
After the last General Assembly at the Atlantic Wharf.
Did you know all that about my mother?
That she has the club and her whole existence there? No.
And if so, it would mean nothing to me.
But you must also understand father, it's a different world.
Yes, when he didn't get to know her properly...
But to see her all of a sudden in the night like that
without knowing beforehand something about her other life.
I know how it affected him after the death notice came from Finland.
Only now can I really explain it to myself.
He was quite upset.
My poor mother.
I wanted to say goodnight.
You generally forget.
I am very worried about you, Father.
Look, Tommy has his wife, one day they will leave the house.
And yes, I will not be sitting here forever .
Then you're alone.
And what should I do? - I don't know.
I only know you're the best and the nicest person in the world,
and even if I think differently from you and you disagree with me,
afterwards, I realize you're right.
But ... - But?
Look, tonight,
none of us believes that you could have pushed a person to her death.
But what we can't believe is someone so unaware of how we
only listen, how you judge and dislike what does not fit into your world
often very hard, and it hurts other people.
Oh, Dad ...
I'm so afraid, you will be very alone.
Maybe I shouldn't've told you ...
... but I love you so much.
I need to know what is going on in my house!
What is wrong, that you won't hear me out!
And that is why you're sniffing around in her room?
That you are not ashamed ...
Let's wait and see who will be ashamed at the end!
Why did she leave her country?
Who knows what she has to answer for!
Why was she crying all night long?
Then she should've hurt you. - Oh!
Yes you have a fool's fancy for her!
Did you really give her the best room given, up there next to the boy's?
You really shouldn't sit in judgement on others.
When you talk about our boy ...
She does her work and gives me great assistance,
and everything else doesn't suit you. That's it.
That's it, I said.
There is no surgery in the morning.
I don't come as a patient. I want to talk Elisabeth Nilsson.
Lisa? What do you want from her?
I have been a few weeks here in the country and have been making inquiries
about the death of a lady who was close to me.
Yes ... Come inside.
Go, fetch the things.
According to official records Mrs Nilsson, who lives with you,
was the last person with whom the victim spoke in the D-train.
Ah ...
That's curious. She told me nothing of that.
Yes, if you could wait a moment please, Lisa will be here shortly.
A stranger?
He's asking about me?
Where is he? - In the house.
What can he want from her?
Well, I'll be right!
You won't have her much longer.
You mean she doesn't like it here?
I could understand.
I want to know what's going on in my house! - You're staying!
When she needs someone, she'll come.
You're living the life of another person here?
Yes.
Didn't you advise me to leave the world?
What more do you want from me?
Do you want to ask me why I have not quite left the world?
Because I was too cowardly.
Because a mother can't leave the world as long as her child lives.
You have to come back.
Not to me, I destroyed myself.
But for Daniela. You have to come back.
I wanted to go back!
You prevented it.
You have given me the right to go back.
You have made me realize that we can't extinguish a debt,
which one took on oneself. Just as a man grabs a branch,
not to sink in the water.
I was all alone, then, with my child.
Nobody helped me.
Karin, I ... - Yes, now ...
Always the same.
When it's too late, then people would like to help .
Karin, you never need to be alone if you just forgive me.
Today I stand before you as you stood before me at that time .
I am a supplicant.
My happiness is destroyed, just as her happiness will be if you don't return.
If I can't persuade you I don't know what to do.
I'm going to cable sister Benedicta because ...
Daniela ... may I need to know her situation
What about Daniela?
Was it very difficult, Daniela?
The doctors had almost given up hope ...
... but there is a healthy boy.
Darling Daniela ...
Poor Tom didn't go out of the hospital all night.
I think the physicians had to look after him
But now everything's all right.
The flowers are beautiful.
They're from your bed.
I have to give you all the sisters' best wishes.
It was great in the old Saint Mary's.
Do you remember how happy I was when Mum came to visit?
And now you're a happy Mum.
Sister Benedicta, what should I tell my child ...
... when its questions come? About my mother, I mean.
Then you'll tell him how much she loved you.
And she did everything for you out of love.
There is nothing she wouldn't have done for you.
She would have gone on the street begging for you ...
... just so your life stayed beautiful and happy.
She loved so much. She will be forgiven much.
Sister Benedicta ...
... I don't know whether I ever told you ...
... I was always anxious about Mum, even from an early age.
Perhaps because she was always traveling.
And when that time the news from Finland came when I didn't believe it.
I thought a miracle must've happened ...
Sister Benedicta, why don't miracles happen anymore?
You must not say that.
Your child is he not a miracle?
Yes, but Mum can't see him ...
Daniela, now you have to be very brave.
As brave as your most difficult hour.
You were right not to believe that your mother is dead.
She's not dead
She's alive?
Is she sick so she can't come?
Why doesn't she come to me?
We must not flee from ourselves.
Either way, we must ask ourselves.
" And you take the wings of the dawn and would fly to the uttermost sea ..."
don't go, you always stay who you are.
You've even seen it with my wife,
as she wanders through the nights and looks for their boy.
Believe me, she would walk barefoot around the whole Globe if she once again ...
There have been instances as if the umbilical cord
between mother and child was never quite cut.
And if one dies, so does the other.
This won't happen to you, your path is open.
Your people are still living and wait for you.
Thus, Lisa.
Karin's hard for me to say.
Farewell.
I'll miss you a lot You have been a comrade.
And it was never so bright in my house, since our boy ...
With you it was like a little light.
But you have to go to where your place is. To your children.
What will Daniela say?
What will she say? She won't say anything.
Your child lie in your arms and she will be happy.
Ave Maria
gratia plena
Dominus tecum,
benedicta tu.
In mulieribus
et benedictus
Fructus Ventris tui Jesus.
Sancta Maria,
Maria
ora pro nobis,
nobis peccatoribus,
Nunc et in hora,
In hora
mortis nostrae.
Amen.
