"Christina, come and help me!"
Where's the table to go?
In the living room, of course.
We need more boxes.
Oh man! I'm not your drudge...
THE MOOR'S HEAD
Be careful Dad, there's no door!
- What? - Oh Jakob!
You ruin the house when you go through the wall!
Fine, what shall I do then?
Two steps back...
Okay... 1...
- 2.... - Now turn right...
- Straight ahead... - Don't confuse your father!
Stop!
Turn left and straight ahead to the livingroom!
- Stop! Here's the stove. - But you can't see Dad!
Yes I can.
- And how? - Well there.
Through the wall?
- Now turn right, Dad. - That won't work.
You can't see Dad either!
- Yes! - No!
Can you see me or not?
- I'll drop the boxes... - Dinner!
Wait for me!
Jakob!
- Wake up! - Put down the knives and forks now.
- Who wants bread? - Me!
- One or two? - Two, please.
Careful, it's hot!
Mom, open the mustard please!
- Jakob, you too? - Only one, please.
- Ouw, that's squirting! - Where are the pickles, Anna?
- They're in the car, I'll get them. - Do we have mustard with us?
- Yes. - Mom, be careful!
You're going through walls!
- Jakob! - Bang!
Mom, what are you doing, the wall is collapsing!
The woman that went through walls.
- More voltage, please. - 45 Volt...
- More... - Okay, 50.
Even more.
Less again...
30 Hertz, 45...
- Now more volt again. - Okay.
I'll go up to...
- 60, 67... - More.
Excellent.
(French)
Congratulations!
I didn't think it could take so much.
(French)
What do you think for the sensibility? Where's the limit?
2 dB maximum.
How much is that in total?
120dB.
You find the exact values in the printed report.
The printer is ready in 2 minutes.
Please enter the values of the plunger...
during the last 3 seconds, on 9 boards.
Can you give me a ride? My car's being repaired.
- I must get a present for Christina. - You can drive with me.
Where's your car?
Over there.
Well, merry Christmas! And greetings to Anna!
You too. - Yes.
See you!
Sorry I can't give you a ride!
- No worries. - What will you get her? - Rollerblades.
"17:00. This is TV-3 with news.
"On the mic, Louis Spühr.
"In Bosnia-Herzegovina a 1-month-truce will take effect at midnight.
"The cease-fire had been already agreed upon yesterday,
"but discrepancies delayed the start date.
"The Russian army continues to attack Chechen capital Grosny.
"The conditions for the population are getting unbearable.
"Medical supply is insufficient,
"hospitals are crowded, the wounded can't be treated.
"According to journalists is Grosny not completely enclosed yet,
"as the Russian government claims.
"There are countless refugees..."
Excuse me. What's happening here?
Nothing, drive on.
Yes, but... How?
Sleep now, so you're well rested tomorrow.
- When is the picknick? - Early, sleep now.
Should I hang up?
My little princess.
Merry Christmas again!
But don't tell Mom anything.
Sure thing. You're great, Dad.
The predators demand you!
- What? They're in bed already? - Kiss both for me, Mom.
- Ciao! - Ciao!
Greetings to Markus.
- I'll do. - Will you come to the site tomorrow?
I don't know yet, I'll try...
Leave the dishes, I'll help you tomorrow before we go.
Just the glasses.
Are you hungry?
What is left then?
The food for tomorrow won't be touched.
There're picles....
Pickles are extraordinary!
Some Christmas cookies along?
How perverted.
"A large scale operation is still going on...
"The station area was..."
Did you give Eva a little money?
- I told her to ask you. - Sure.
- And how much? - 500.
She smokes like a chimney.
We can't do anything about it.
Maybe we should go to bed...
... a standard cycle according to DIN59087
was applied between -70° and +50° Celsius.
and shows no significant alteration.
Stated was a small change of the varnish colour...
that however didn't influence the functionality of the subject.
For exact specifications please consult... the printed report.
Kind regards etc...
Don't forget a copy to Dr Tallhammer.
Of course.
The fern needs watering.
Do what you like.
What's up?
Say... you had no idea, did you?
Of what?
(Radio news)
Peter just heard of the fusion.
(Radio news)
Which fusion?
But why should he know about it?
Is this a kindergarten, or what's going on?
Good question.
Could anyone tell me what's actually going on?
Peter just learned from Dr Stauber that we're going to merge.
Don't you remember, before Christmas, the Systec guys from Brussels?
Yes?
Turn of that crap! You can't understand a word in here.
They were here to check the staff, get it?
Well and...?
The staff, man!
(Radio news)
Are you afraid to lose your job?
Are you hearing impaired? I said turn it off!
But listen...!
"It has never happened a more severe accident..."
It's around the corner...
"Overpressure occured in a tank...
a valve bursted and caused 45 minutes gas leakage..."
Yes.
"That was Christl Reis from Wien 23, and now the weather report..."
- Who told you that story? - Stauber, I said it!
- Officially? - Officially?
Officially...? When it's officially, it's done!
I'll visit Stauber and ask himself.
What is it with him?
And he blames me to worry about my job...
- Do you build with a company or illegal? - With a company.
- How big is the property? - Almost 3000.
- Wow, you're a landlord. - Let's wait and see.
If Stauber doesn't decide soon, it'll look bad for our economy.
"Can you please come out for a moment?
"Dr Stauber wants to meet you in his office."
When will it take effect?
Probably before the holidays.
But it might also get delayed.
- Why? - Just because...
I'm just wondering when I can buy a mink.
9000 more a month is not bad...
Hopefully they don't replace you with some guy from Brussels.
Stauber says the laboratory remains our domain for sure.
We're better equiped and experienced.
The administration will suffer from the merge.
You know Dr Maier, the bachelor?
The little fatso, who always says 'Delighted Madame, delighted....'
-Yes... -He's trembling.
Probably they'll force him to retire.
How old is he?
I guess around 50.
Difficult to say with fatsos.
It's a pity, he's nice.
Remember the Christmas party? A year ago?
He asked me for a dance.
"Madam, I have to confess...
"I envy your husband, I told him that."
"If I wasn't such a passionate bachelor..."
What's up?
Why?
- Are you taking your suit? - No.
Just the blue trousers and a sweater, please.
Or wait! Just the grey jacket, the sweater is too warm.
Dad, be careful!
Look at what you've done!
- Oh, I'm sorry. - No problem.
It's at least 200 deaths.
That's a freight train, can't you see it?
Dad, where are you going?
To a conference.
When will you be back?
At the weekend.
What kind of conference is it?
What did I say? The Moor is almost gone.
Too bad...
You stay in the car as promised.
What's that wall here? It wasn't planned.
I've no idea, you must ask the architect.
There'll be more changes.
May I have more pasta?
- That's Dad! - Keep your seat please.
Hello my dears!
Hello?
Where are you?
Hello sweethearts. What is so delicious...
that you can't even say hello to your old father?
Good evening dear.
Evening.
Oh Lord...
What's the matter with you?
What's up, honey?
I'm not a clairvoyant.
You need to say what's up.
You've no idea, huh?
Mom!
Come, go to your room.
Come.
Come on, undress!
What has Dad done?
He sold our house.
Why?
Won't you go inside?
Dad? May I take the Frisbee?
Certainly.
Let me have the Frisbee!
Say something!
Don't you like it?
I don't know what to say.
It'd be nice if you're happy.
Look at all the ground. I can grow everything here.
No dirt, no noise.
We could have animals.
We're completely independent.
You should see a doctor, Georg.
What?
You've lost your mind.
What?
Anna...
Excuse me please...
Did I hurt you? Anna...
Anna!
Anna, I'm sorry, please forgive me!
I didn't mean to hurt you.
Don't object all the time,
I wouldn't do such things then.
A roe!
What?
Or a deer.
- Where is it now? - I think down there.
Listen.
Look!
What's the matter?
I don't know...
I don't know.
Do you have a kleenex?
Yes.
Here...
I mean...
What's your intention with your... projects?
Don't you trust me?
Of course I trust you.
But you don't trust me.
How can you secretly sell the house?
And now this surprise.
Why're you doing it?
You... wouldn't have agreed.
Of course I had...
Of course I wouldn't have agreed!
You know how much the place was worth...
Do you realise at all... what you've done?
And what have I done?
They paid 3.865.000 shilling...
for the boring property and the half-ready building.
For that we can build a palace here!
But I don't want a palace.
I don't want to live 20 kilometer from the nearest humans.
I need the town, I work there.
The children go to school there. I like to be there, get it?
If you want a green idyll, join Greenpeace!
Or rent a cabin.
Or who the hell knows. But...
Don't mess up our life!
After all it's also my money.
That's the way the wind blows... I can...
-You don't care about the kids! -I do it for the kids!
- What about material security? - I do it for the kids.
-Mister Physician is... -They shall at least...
actually a popular man...
Despite...
Now shut up and listen!
the merge...
Listen at last!
Okay.
If you don't want it, I won't buy the house!
I find it's too bad, especially for the kids.
And for us too
a chance to keep out of all the chaos.
But if you don't want, I can't force you.
If you favour the town we'll stay there.
What kind of chaos?
What kind of chaos do you want keep out of?
Don't you read newspapers? Don't you watch TV?
Don't you notice what's going on?
Why do more and more people emigrate,
as long as they still can?
Why are there more suicides than ever before?
Are they all crazy?
Are they all crazy, in your opinion?
Georg...
What are you're afraid of?
You...
You won't seriously...
tell me that you sold the house out of some eco or nuclear phobia
or something like that.
What's wrong actually?
You are very talented to only see the trivialities.
And what is not trivial in your opinion?
Do you remember the catastrophe?
A few months ago?
Toxic gas... in the 23rd district.
Two months ago.
And...?
It may happen again tomorrow.
- It was an accident. - Yes.
But it may happen again tomorrow.
Well, and what's your consequence?
I ask you that!
Should we go on as if nothing happened?
- You have a better idea? - I do.
And what?
Start to act.
Like selling our house...?
Yes, for example.
And move into the woods.
For example, yes.
Live on a diet of berries and roots.
Pointless, they're contaminated.
Seriously, I do believe that if you live more concious
you also live healthier. Not healthy, but healthier.
And for that you want to... risk your entire existence?
You know how quick money gets worthless.
The house would have been an investment.
Investment... for what? Or against what?
You know, I already thought...
that you have a lover?
And there goes all the money.
Well, I do.
What?
A young...
sweet lover.
18 year old model,
Thai. Gung-Li.
I visit her in the lunch break, and then...
we do it like rabbits.
I've never hit you before... Please forgive me.
I love you.
We both behave like idiots.
Yes, it's true.
I love you too.
Watch it, dumbass!
You'll fall in!
I still have my shoes on.
Not so fast!
Wait a moment...
- Don't push! - I'm not pushing!
Wait, not so fast!
Jakob, be careful!
Jakob! I told you to be careful!
Don't move until I'm with you.
Maybe I can get them to sell back the house.
What do you think? Shall I try?
I don't believe you'll be lucky.
But go ahead and try.
Okay.
I'll try.
What are the kids doing?
Can you hear them?
Certainly just nonsense.
Maybe it's better that only you go to Italy with the kids.
Why?
Maybe it'd be good if I'm just for myself,
with my model.
No, seriously.
It was a bit too much recently.
I don't want to do more hair raising nonsense.
I need some rest.
Do you think it really is a good idea?
The kids won't be very happy...
I need the silence.
Believe me.
It'll be good for all of us.
What do you expect from it?
Relaxation, silence, shake off the whole shit.
Please.
Well, if you think so.
Are you sulky now?
- No, I just don't know what to think. - I love you!
I just want to have some time for myself, that's all.
Please trust me, okay?
Okay.
Crazy, everything.
When was the last time we did such a thing?
In nature...
or... in a... rundown house...
or in a doorway...
in the cinema...
in a theatre...
or in the opera?
Dad, Mom!
We saw a deer, it was very huge, it ran into the woods...
And such a guy becomes chief technician!
Congratulations my friend!
- Good work! - Congratulations!
I won't deliver a speech, my friends.
Even this vacation will end, and like Stauber usually says:
Have a good time so that...
we can work in autumn under a new Belgian flag...
sail with taut sails.
To the loyal colleague who holds the line...
Winter holidays are healthier anyway.
But your smoking makes it uncertain that you ever come there.
Hands off!
Mom, do we have Coke?
Sure, in the cool box.
- What? - I'm sorry.
I want to water the fern before I leave.
I told him to take care of it during the holidays...
but I don't believe he'll remember it.
I thought you're on your way to the south?
No no. Could you get my jacket out of the locker?
My keys are in it.
Here you are.
Thank you.
When are you going?
Tomorrow.
One question, is that blue tarp here waterproof?
Yes, hello?
Yes!
Good morning Eva!
Say, aren't you on vacation?
Or why do you call so early?
What?
How much?
Oh dear, I'll have to hurry up then.
Me?
Great!
How should it go in this heat.
Yes. When?
Of course, when would you like?
Sure!
Someone's at the door, wait... What?
See you on Friday then, I'll get you. Wait a moment.
I'll be right back.
Hello? Dad?
What's up?
I'm asking you! Are you moving or what?
I'm rearranging.
In the middle of the night?
I'm sorry, it won't happen again.
"Larger units shouldn't run more than 8 hours a day
while one may split the runtime between morning and evening.
What would be the maximum working height?
You shouldn't exceed 2 metres, then you'll cover a 4 m2 area.
A lower height is not advised due to dehydration risk.
Eva!
Where're you coming...?
Why?
- I hope the shock isn't too huge. - But...
I just got them.
But I just wanted to visit you.
- What's the matter, Dad? - Nothing.
Only that you had missed me a minute later.
- We agreed on 10:00! - I thought we'd eat breakfast.
Ah, alright.
Thanks for coming.
- Where're we going? - Wherever, in the park?
Yes! Boating maybe?
Won't you take the flowers, they look a bit sad.
That's too complicated now.
There's enough water over there.
Come!
- Any news? - This morning Markus got us a bus...
and now the suggestion...
Sounds not bad...
- When will you leave? - Well... that's the problem.
Why?
Well, I...
The problem is that they want to leave already this afternoon.
I see.
Then maybe it's not so good that we're boating and having breakfast.
Sure!
-When will you start then? -When everyone's ready, at 3 or 4:00.
- Have you packed yet? - Yes, halfway...
- Halfway? - I've hardly any luggage.
Listen, you globetrotter...
Here's the money...
we'd spent on the breakfast...
and a little extra...
What can't be for the worse of the project...
and then you get going...
and pack your stuff, okay?
You really don't mind?
Don't be silly.
You're so sweet.
Sure.
Are you alright? May I really leave?
Mom said you're not so well, I should take care of you.
Don't worry Fräulein Doktor. I'm fine...
When will you be back?
In 2 months maybe.
Bye!
Take care.
I'll do, Dad. Likewise.
Ciao!
Well?
"International attention received the suicide of a 52 years old Chechen...
who burnt himself in front of Bolshoi Theatre in Moskow.
The man died few hours later in a hospital of his severe burns.
The motive remains unclear...
...father of two children. Susanne Scholl from Moskau:
The reasons for the spectacular suicide...
The Chechen Ruslan Maskadow had in front of...
Moscow Bolschoi Theater doused with fuel and put himself on fire.
Even if numerous witnesses immediately tried to quench the flames...
any help came too late.
When the required ambulance arrived, the physician could only..."
Goodbye.
Good afternoon!
Is your wife doing well?
- Did she write? - Oh yes.
They're fine.
Do you have a cold?
I got caught.
Summer flu.
Yeah, obviously.
Where do the eggs come from?
Hello dear.
How...
How are you?
I can hardly hear you.
Excuse me, I'm looking for Hartmann?
- Where do I find Hartmann? - No idea.
Yes please?
Telegram!
Give it to me.
- Pretty high here. - Yes.
Thank you.
I'm trying to reach you, please call back between 17 and 19:00. Anna.
(speaking clock)
Yes, hello?
Oh hello!
That's possible...
No need to infect everyone.
One does what one can.
Since last week.
They stayed there.
No, thank you, I bought everything I need earlier today.
I've to stay in bed, that's all.
Sure.
Well then.
See you on the 1st!
Ciao!
No need to infect everyone.
Georg Hartmann, The White Mask...
I didn't know you're philantrophist.
One does what one can.
There're many ways for suicide. You only need to pick the best.
I thought you're in Tropea? When did you come home?
Last week.
They stayed there.
"Today holiday traffic started.
Endless traffic jams at the borders, more or less desperate tourists...
who in the heat had to endure hours of delay.
Here are reports from our district stations..."
Be careful with the suitcase!
Can you get swimming things?
Is Dad not at home?
Seems so.
Let me do that.
Be cautious!
It's not my fault.
What the hell...?
Georg?
Let's get the things inside.
- It smells. - Yes.
Mrs Hartmann?
Yes?
Telegramm for Georg Hartmann.
You can give it to me, I'm his wife.
Pretty high up here.
- Fine, I sent it from Mailand yesterday. - Italian post services...
Yes.
Yes, wait a moment.
Dad?
-You want the change? -No no, just keep it.
Mom, have a look!
Look!
Yummy, or?
What?
Hello?
Who's speaking?
I see, excuse me...
Who's speaking there?
I see.
Yes, Hartmann, I wanted... I thought...
Actually I thought it's my daughter's number.
-And do you know when she'll come home? -No.
Ah, yes.
Yes.
No... No, thank you.
"... that you're a philanthropist.
I thought you're in Tropea, when did you come home?
Last week.
- And Anna? - They stayed.
I see. Maybe I should come along with a warming sip?
No, thank you, I bought everything I need earlier today.
I've to stay in bed, that's all.
What's up there?
Look, they have kids!
Anna?
There's Dad!
Hello sweetheart!
Hello Dad.
Hello dear. Won't you give me a kiss?
Hello Dad!
I didn't expect you before the weekend.
I see
I suppose you're upset.
Can you?
We need to... only rearrange a little.
We can eat in the kitchen.
The children's room is moved to the dressing room.
When Eva has moved we'll have enough space anyway.
- Dad and I have to talk. Can you take care of Jakob? - Sure.
You're tired from the long ride. Lay down in Mom's bed, okay?
When you wake up, everything's fine again.
- Have you seen? The rabbits have 7 kids. - Yes.
- Would you like to stroke them? - Yes please.
Do you also want to stroke them, princess?
Georg, please...
Look!
Just look.
It's tickling!
Guess how many eggs that are? Ninety!
The fridge is full of fruits and vegetables.
Next time beans and tomatoes will give double crop yield.
The animals don't cost anything. Only initially I bought a little food.
The oat is ripe now, the carrots, it works by itself, do you understand?
We've got fresh meat, eggs, fruits, vegetables.
Do you understand?
Georg, please listen.
I do listen.
I...
What is that?
A...
I don't know what to say.
It's as if...
as if I'm in a nightmare.
What is all this supposed to become?
If you had come in the weekend, I'd have rearranged already.
If you help me it's done in an afternoon.
Look!
We must trap it!
Quick!
Nothing can harm us because we're independ!
Well, the air. That's the only thing, but I've already enquiried it.
It helps a lot to use filters, if you in the garden...
replace two windows with filters the incoming air is almost clean.
Georg, please stop it!
I don't know, how to communicate with you.
I left, because you asked me to and I naively believed ...
something would change.
You were so open, and I...
I've not enough strength to resist against it.
Obviously you don't care what your behaviour means for other people.
But I only want to protect you.
Now it eats the salad.
Leave it, he likes it.
But he eats it all up!
I've had enough! Do you understand?
You talk about family and unity, "We've always been a family..."
and who's going totally rogue?
I see you obviously have to do it.
I don't understand it, but well, if you have to live that way...
Go ahead!
Now I'll take the kids and disappear.
I'll stay at a hotel to start with. I can't, Georg. I've had enough.
Christina?
Why do you insight the kids?
Can't you see how much they have?
They're much more clever than you.
Why am I doing it all, planting, breeding... if not for you?
In your ignorance you don't see that they poison and destroy you.
I just want to keep you out and spare you.
Christina, sweetheart. Say, you like it?
The rabbits, the nice garden?
Say it!
Yes... well.
What's the matter, Jabob? What's wrong?
What is it? On the foot?
-Where... how, where? -There, there!
Mom, there!
Come!
Let us out, Georg!
Let me out... leave me!
Let us out, Georg!
You crazy idiot, you...!
Let... us... out!
You stay here!
Stop it!
You're so outrageously stupid.
Why can't you see what everyone else can see?
What do you think is waiting out there?
You want to leave the house?
What will you get outside?
Death, poison, desolation?
You wanna bring them inside?
You won't surrender, no?
Yes I do.
It is okay.
I realise everything.
You don't need...
We'll do what you want.
You don't need to be afraid.
-I just want you understand what is good for us. -Sure!
Stay seated here.
Open up!
If you don't open up, I'll smash door!
Anna!
Shut up!
Open up!
Don't bother, Christina. Your mother is just unwell.
Go to bed now. It got late, lie down now.
Tomorrow things look different.
Relax, Christina.
Nothing will harm your mother, I love her, you know that.
Just go to sleep. I'll take care of her.
She'll come right away!
Just lie in our bed, tomorrow you'll get back your own.
They want to destruct us...
All of us...
But they won't succeed.
It is about time to meet the challenge.
Don't let me down.
Please!
When I look at my hands... I think I'm not at all myself.
It would be best... to become insane...
Dad?
Georg... please... come.
They only want to help you.
Take it easy, Hartmann.
You won't harm me, Georg.
You know that, dear.
You're unable to hurt me.
I love you, please.
Don't... blame me.
It...
Please...
Give me the knife, Hartmann.
Believe me:
Who does not lose his mind over certain things, has no mind to lose.
