Antares Page #2

Synopsis: A deadly car crash sets off three parallel stories of women at crisis points, faltering behind the doors of the same, plain Vienna apartment block. A bored nurse with a stable, comfortable family life has a wild but almost-wordless extramarital affair with a fashion-conscious traveling salesman, who's obsessed with sex photos. An unstable young Austrian grocery checker lies to hold on to her philandering Yugoslavian boyfriend, claiming she's pregnant. Finally, a recent divorcée whose violent, ex-husband is a King of Denial intent on getting her back. Will the residents' fibs and moral failures save or destroy them ? Can the women safely express their fears ?

All right,

but be back by eight.

I left something in the car.

Where are the keys?

- Over there.

- Thanks.

I'll be right back.

Hello, it's me, Eva.

You're there at the hotel...

in our room.

What are you doing?

Looking at your pictures.

What do you plan

to do with them?

Take them with me.

They turned out nice.

Come here.

Are you still there?

Come here.

If only I could...

But I can't.

and nothing but crap.

What a joke.

These German film titles.

"The Dummy Crisis".

You scared me.

- You're so nervous today.

- You just startled me.

What if we go

to the movies tonight?

- The movies?

- Why not?

We haven't done that

in a long time. I've circled 3.

- This one got good reviews...

- All right.

- Are you OK?

- Why shouldn't I be?

- There's something wrong...

- No, I'm fine.

- What time does it start?

- 7:
30.

Don't move,

I'll get a broom.

I'll call Iris to tell her

we're going out.

- What was that?

- Over there I think.

Did she scream for help?

Huh?

Probably just

a marital quarrel.

Probably.

Back to the real estate section.

High time we got out of this place.

- That weirdo again.

- Did he say anything?

They never say anything.

I'll have it traced next time.

Let's go to bed?

- Do you want to go first?

- No, go ahead.

Could you turn on

the light for me?

No problem, mister.

You shouldn't be smoking

when you're pregnant.

- I'm not pregnant.

- Not pregnant?

I just said that

because of Marco.

He wants a baby so bad.

We'd get married.

And he really thinks you're...

We even bought wallpaper

for the nursery.

How long

has this been going on?

- Two months.

- I don't believe it.

Men are so stupid.

What's so funny?

I figured I'd tell him

and get pregnant right after.

I ovulate this weekend.

It could work,

people have premature babies.

Two months...

All I can say is "good luck".

Just look at this.

Someone tore 6 pages

out of this magazine.

Can you imagine?

- Talk to the manager.

- Where is he?

- Try the meat section.

- The nerve of some people.

- Botle receipt?

- No.

Thank you.

Hey baby.

I'm on ladder now,

I call you right back.

I'm on ladder,

I call back. Okay, ciao.

What a fox.

You think she screams

when you screw her?

Or does she just lie there?

I dunno,

I first have to try her.

Sh*t. I forgot.

Moment.

Marco, what's wrong with you?

You said you'd call right back.

You made me wait

like a fool for an hour.

If I say I'll call right back,

I call right back.

You don't love me.

Where are you anyway?

Who with?

- And who else?

- Nobody. Robert and me.

And billboard.

You know.

What reason?

No reason.
