Bad?

Testicular cancer.

Oh. And?

One less.

Makes you faster.

Less air resistance.

Dear visitors,

the bathing ship closes in 15 minutes.

We thank you for visiting

and wish you a good evening.

Show me.

Scar check.

What?

Not bad for such a small guy.

Alright.

See you soon.

Where were you so long?

I had a drink.

With whom?

Alone.

Alone?

Come closer.

Morning.

Early bird, even on weekends?

Aren't you coming to bed anymore?

Want a tea?

I don't have any.

Yes, I can go get some.

Should I?

Sometime, yes.

Yes.

I'll go and take a shower, okay?

- Yes.

Clean, time for a change of sides.

Mate.

Hi.

Hello Adam.

What are you doing outdoors, at this

weather?

Clean up the cellar, and...

- Are you coming?

Children's dinner.

- The potatoes aren't ready yet.

Someone help me prepare the table.

I'm coming in.

Can you get him? I'm going crazy.

I was just upstairs.

If you can't do it, who can?

What's up, you're coming out today?

Daddy, you don't understand.

Yes, but mom says,

you're in there the whole day.

Since 00.30h yesterday.

- Colour is our food, ...

I have to distribute color four times.

- ... our strength.

Color?

- ... our hope.

Yes, look.

- It is ...

the essence and meaning

of our suffering.

This is the realm in-between life and

death. So, the souls need color,

otherwise they die. I can get

the color for them, but...

Come on, Nick, we only meet

every 2 weeks.

Dad, I think it's really cool

that you're here now,

but do you know what would be much

cooler?

If you could take over for a moment.

I have to go to the toilet.

And if the guards come,

just throw the color.

... you are condemning

both of us to death.

If you wish to die so much,

go to your slasher.

Fight the disgusting, evil,

foreign enemy. Help me!

Nick?

Where is the color?

Nick, where is the color?

I'll go back to the office soon.

Okay.

Hey, hi.

- Hi.

Hi. Long time no see.

Adam isn't here?

No, we called a few times,

but nothing.

F***, I missed it.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Bye!

- Bye! Ciao!

Hello?

-Adam? This is Hanna, Hanna Blum.

Oh, hi.

Hi. I got a recipe here.

This also?

And this.

I'll go for a drink, wanna come?

Yes, I'll be there soon.

- See you.

Evening.

- Hi.

Which material is this?

- Steel and stone.

It's gonna be some huge bastard.

Take a look... Ahm, excuse me.

Here I am.

Aahh. Hello, Dr. Born.

Hello, Dr. Blum.

I didn't think I'd see you again.

You mean today?

No, I mean at all.

Ah, I'd say life is incalculable.

That's for sure.

How can I help you today?

It's 11:
30h. You wanted

to show me your realm.

Oh, of course.

Are you doing artificial insemination?

-That's what I started with.

I was the expert on that,

I'm still doing the education.

We earn the money with In-Vitro,

so we can continue research.

First floor is stem cells,

second floor Yamanaka research.

Yamanaka.

- I'll explain it to you.

So, it's plain human skin cells.

You know that.

Yes.

- And here, ...

the viruses that carry the cells

are sorts of messengers,

messengers of genetically enhanced

food.

They attach themselves to the cells

and so carry their freight inside.

And through this DNA,

brought in through the back door

skin cells transform themselves back

into pluripotent stem cells.

Pluripotent, that means they reproduce?

-No, that means they are basis cells,

that can transform into every cell type

of the body.

They are not yet specialized.

One could say,

we are reprogramming the skin cells

to return to the stadium,

that makes embryonic stem cells

so valuable.

They can transform to every type of cell,

for example those

that are defect in a sick body,

or that have problems with growth.

Not bad, really.

And without having to breed our DNA

in some cow ovum.

So much for the British

and their chimares nonsense.

Sorry.

What's he doing? Isn't he leaving?

Coffee?

- I'd love to.

A son? Anything else?

I have a boat at the sea.

I'm getting seasick on boats.

My son too. He has to go anyway.

Do you have to go back to the lab?

You don't have anything.

What do you mean?

No stuff, no books.

Aren't you reading?

Oh, hi.

-Hey.

What's that fragrance?

You smell awfully good.

You're in a good mood today, dear.

Bye.

- Bye.

Another beer?

What are you doing otherwise,

besides swimming?

I won't tell.

Why?

I don't know. I have the impression

that I talk too much.

You tell me what you're doing first.

-I'm building art.

And what does that mean?

My company builds and plans

objects for artists, mostly sculptors.

They have an idea or a plan,

and we build it.

And what kind of art is it?

Mostly installations or

large sculptures.

Really?

- Yes.

Do you have a card?

Yes, I think I should have one.

Thanks.

That means you got my number now.

Can I have yours, too?

Of course.

I don't know how this is usually working.

What?

With the anonymity.

Ahm ... with gays.

You know, I'm not gay.

I mean, I wasn't gay, until now.

And now you think you are?

No idea. No.

Yes. I don't know.

Don't worry too much.

It's not that easy.

It is. You just have to say goodbye.

-To what?

To your deterministic ideas

of biology.

Hey.

- Hey.

You look great.

You too.

Wait.

Doesn't hurt?

You smell different.

How?

I don't know. Good.

Marriage is closed when

bride and groom, before the registrar,

in person and personally,

declare to marry each other.

... and when it says "Hamlet", then I

can't tell myself, I can't say,

that's a heterosexual man

with his special problem,

I don't have anything to do with him,

then I'm requested to say:

Yes, him, he represents me.

- Exactly.

But then, when there is Medea,

then one would say,

yeah, there is a woman,

a foreigner,

suppressed, with this certain

"sanitary napkin issue".

There should be a house of differences,

in which we can live together.

But the first section table we are laid

upon comes right after our birth,

where they say, this is a girl

and this is a boy.

We tell each other this is a biological

order, but maybe it's just symbolic.

Yes.

- Yes.

Rostock. What are you doing there

again?

Look at bad art.

Take it easy, baby. I'll be back tomorrow.

Hey!

- Hey!

Not bad. It's almost finished!

Don't we wanna go to your place?

I don't live alone.

What exactly does that mean?

It means there is another man.

Instead the 4 genomes they needed

to introduce the retrovirus into the cell,

they need only two now.

You may kiss the bride.

... the idea to start something with a

man.

The disgust for this normality everybody

is subordinating themselves to,

fell together with the

discovery of a perversion

of her fetishistic sleep.

Perverse. Yes.

At least, she was something special

among all those normal weirdos,

really perverse.

Everything else was such a waste of

time...

What are you doing?

Don't know.

Wanna go to your place?

No. That's impossible.

Why?

- I don't live alone.

Oh no.

Oh how sweet. How beautiful!

One, two, three.
