I heard the new tracks and they rock.

It's going to be a good album.

Hey, Icka!

- Hey.

Dr. Paul said

you were coming back to us.

Who are they?

Just short-term guests. Mostly alcohol.

Hey.

Back again?

Yep.

- Cool.

You alright?.

- F***ing tablets.

That witch. What do you get?

- What tablets?

Blue ones.

- Strong or medium? - Strong.

Same as me. They finish you off.

Yeah, they're pretty heavy.

Listen, Pete,

when do you get to go home?

What?. Home?

To my grandma?

- Yeah.

I don't want to go.

What's that music?

It's my new album.

"Tits, Techno & Trumpets"

How are you?

Pretty good.

The pills are heavy.

I sleep a lot, but otherwise...

How's Corinna?

- Good.

We'd like to go on vacation together.

Vacation?

Where?

To Budapest, to visit my mom.

Say hi to your mom.

I will.

Alice says hi.

She loves your new tracks.

So do I, by the way.

And the title?

"Tits, Techno and Trumpets. "

Great, right?

No?

Alice thinks its alright,

but wants something more international.

More international?

"Berlin Calling" is her title.

- "Berlin Calling"...

"Tits, Techno and Trumpets"

is much more wicked.

Alice also wants

to do the cover photo here.

Here in the hospital?

- Yes.

Now she's back

with all her photo ideas again...

I miss you.

It's better this way, Icka.

Believe me.

Alice, isn't this kind of stupid?

And we have to talk about the title.

"Berlin Calling", y'know...

This will make a great cover

and Berlin Calling is a great title.

Icka... it feels right!

It'll be good.

Ms. Ashcroft,

could you please finish up? I didn't

know it would take so long. - Yes.

Five minute, yes?

You smoke?

- Unfortunately. Occasionally.

Martin...

I would say that your healing

is progressing well.

But you should still expect more

of your schizophrenic episodes.

Probably in stressful situations.

This means I can go?

- Yes.

I have no objections.

I would still ask you

to take your tablets regularly

and to come here regularly.

- Yes.

Stopping your medication yourself

could lead to a relapse.

We will reduce your medication

slowly over time.

If you need anything,

you can call any time.

Wicked.

The sound is...

Are you sure you can cope alone?

You look so tired.

It's the tablets.

They block all the highs and lows.

I'll be fine.

"The album functions

as a promise of great intensity

and as a promise of happiness. "

Here:
"London Underground Magazine"

"Berlin Electro at its best. "

"Knowing Ickarus, you might expect

an album as out of it as he is,

but the opposite is true.

The music creates clear ambiguity,

well thought out in every detail. "

Do you think you can cope with

the PR, the release party and the tour?

Absolutely.

What if you fall asleep on stage?

Don't cancel anything.

I have to get back on stage.

I want to perform.

I can do it. I need an audience

to see that my stuff rocks.

I can manage, please!

Don't cancel anything!

Terrific!

You're home!

We're coming from an after hour and

your record release party is tonight!

I also wanted to ask

about the guest list. Record release...

Can we come in?

I hear your girlfriend moved out.

Are you redecorating?

Where were you all this time, Icka?

Erbse said you were on tour in Asia.

Where did you play?

What kind of sh*t do you talk?

You gotta test this. It's excellent.

Where's your bathroom?

Back on the left?

Icka?

Super, Icka!

You're ruining 800 euros!

Icka?

- Stop this sh*t.

I'll give you the money.

Take care.

Hi.

So early? The record release

was tonight, wasn't it?

Yeah. Is Mathilde here?

Can I come in?

You on anything?

- No.

Then come in.
