- Hey, guys.

- Hi, Tomas.

- Good day?

- Yeah, two pages.

Is that good?

Hmm.

- How 'bout you?

- Ah, we got two perch.

- Is that good?

- Ah, yesterday we had 24, so...

Well, you ain't writing

and the fish ain't biting.

- Ah, no.

- Come on.

Good for ya.

See ya.

Hmm.

- Hi.

- Hi.

I was just thinking about you.

You coming home soon?

Uh, no, I'm just...

I'm not finished yet.

Oh.

Okay.

How is it going?

Well, I'm not getting anywhere.

Tomas, don't lose faith.

You have it in you, you know that.

Will you stop saying that?

It's, it's not that simple.

And listen, I was, I was thinking

about what we discussed yesterday.

Do we have to talk about

it on the phone?

I might just as well tell you now.

I'm, uh...

I'm not ready for all that.

Keep goin', keep goin'.

We're closed.

The weight of the world

is getting so heavy

Restless helpless

people get ready

Remember the sun

remember the sun

Remember the sun

Remember,

remember the sun

Oh

It's the middle of the day

nothing seems right

You lost the morning

in the middle of the night

Remember the sun

Remember the sun

There's so much to do

That ain't gettin' done

The hopes of the people

are under the gun

Remember the sun

Oh remember the sun

Remember,

remember the sun

Goin' round and round

Remember the...

Please.

Well... Alright, alright.

Hey, you okay?

You're lucky. Come here.

You're fine.

You scared me.

Here. Put this on.

Is that where you live?

Come on, bud, come on.

You cold?

What's your name?

Is your mom home?

Not talkin', huh?

Alright.

- Sara?

- Tomas.

- Yeah?

- Maybe you were right...

Uh, I can't really talk right now.

- Something happened.

- Uh, are you okay?

- Every thing's fine.

- Okay.

Um... listen...

I know that lately I've been edgy.

And you've been so kind.

I just want you to know that...

that everything's gonna be different.

Okay. Okay.

- Uh, I'll wait to eat with you.

- Yeah. I'll be home soon.

Okay, bye.

Alright, Christopher.

Everything's gonna be fine, okay?

Did you make those snowmen?

You do it alone or with a friend?

That one's kind of pudgy.

Alright, let's go.

Come on.

Wanna ring the bell?

Hi, uh, we almost had

a little accident down at the road.

Uh, everything's alright, but...

I think Christopher got a little scared.

Where's Nicholas?

Where's Nicholas?

Oh!

Would you want us to come in with you?

I'm so sorry, Mr. Eldan.

Don't blame yourself.

I'll contact you if we need

any other additional information.

I wish you all the best.

Tomas.

- Tomas!

- Uh! Let me sleep.

What's going on?

- I'm sleeping.

- No, no, no!

Not here. You'll freeze to death.

Come on, come inside.

What's going on? I need to know.

There was an accident.

With... with the car.

I ran over someone.

- Oh, no.

- I wanna sleep.

What...

What happened to that person?

I don't wanna talk.

It's not getting any better.

- What?

- You and me.

We have to stop pretending.

Can't this wait?

- I can't do it anymore.

- You've just been through something so...

I can't do it any longer, Sara.

What do you mean?

I mean I don't wanna do it any longer.

Neither of us is fine.

And we're not gonna be,

and you know it.

I... Let's not talk about this, not now.

We want different things in life.

Look, I, I just wanna write.

You want kids.

I don't.

It's that simple.

We just want different things.

Thank you for coming.

I gave 'em your number.

I didn't have anyone else.

That evening...

I know what happened

that evening, Tomas.

It's a small town.

You should have told me the whole thing.

It's not your fault. It was an accident.

Uh...

How have you been?

I'm tired too.

I haven't slept properly

the past four months.

Have I been gone that long?

Do you want me to come home?

You can't ask that.

You have to tell me what you want.

That's what I want.

I wanna come home.

I don't know. I, I don't know.

We're still the same.

It never occurred to me

that you could do something like this.

The doctor says that it was half-hearted.

The dosage was too small.

That you did it at a time when

you knew you could be found.

How am I to understand that?

Why didn't you just hang a

'Do Not Disturb' sign on the door?

Can you not do anything properly?

Do you want me to try again?

Oh.

Let's see if we can get you out of here.

Sara, you don't have to worry that I'm

gonna try something again, okay?

I feel, I feel better now.

I think I'll start writing again.

Hmm. Good.

- I have some ideas.

- You can use my study.

You finished?

Hmm.

Back among the living, huh?

Yeah.

How have you been doin'?

You don't sound so good, dad.

I'm just doing nothing.

Nothing all day long.

You were looking forward to that.

I was wrong.

To tell you the truth, I'm down...

But not without reason.

What about you?

Are you out of your mind?

A suicide attempt?

Trying to be an artist, is that it?

- Anyway...

- Dad.

What happened at the lab?

I don't know why you still go there.

You always come back depressed.

I was just grabbing a coffee

with old colleagues.

Well, new people like to do

things their way.

You should know this.

I mean, what do you expect?

Some respect, for instance?

I look at pictures of your mother, Tommy.

And no matter how hard I try I can't

remember what it was that we had together.

Dad, please.

Hadn't you been around,

we'd have split up.

- So it's my fault?

- I never said that.

I don't know why you speak

so bitterly about her.

Bitter?

Was she unfaithful to you, is that it?

Your mother? Unfaithful?

If only I'd been so lucky.

But she was far too boring

to venture into that sort of thing.

Man, why don't you just leave her alone?

She can't defend herself anymore.

Hmm.

I have done everything wrong.

The years with her.

The years spent on meaningless

research at the lab.

Just letting time pass...

Until it's too late.

- It's never too late, dad.

- What?

Every time you come here,

all you give me are platitudes.

"It's never too late, dad." Huh?

Please, do not come here out of duty.

You must have better things to do.

Come if you like.

But do not come because

you feel you should.

That's just belittling.

I'll keep that in mind.

What about Sara?

I haven't seen her in such a long time.

She's, uh, she's out looking at apartments.

Here?

You're thinking of moving into town?

We're considering it.

Hi.

I couldn't sleep.

When did you start smoking

that stuff again?

Don't worry, I'll quit soon.

Hmm. It's kind of selfish.

And I am worried.

Just trying to relax

and take my mind off things.

- Is that okay?

- No.

Because it's not making things go away.

Tom.

It's great seein' you, man.

Come in.

Ann, can you leave us alone for

a sec, please?

Yes. Excuse us.

Sit down.

How're you doin'?

Fine.

I know what happened to you.

We can talk about it.

Not right now.

Maybe later.

I was just feeling really down.

But I'm better now.

The paradox with your kind

of work is that...

Nearly everything,
