- Really?

- Yes.

This belongs to a friend of ours

who is a painter. Ulrich Wolf.

- The one with the nose.

- I don't know him.

Please, have a seat.

Oh, man.

And that's where he got her pregnant.

Chris!

- Can you open this?

- Yes.

Your parents have chosen

a very special island.

- Just give us some advice and tips.

- Of course, will do. No problem.

- Tell me, does Hans read that?

- No, he doesn't.

I read that.

That's from the farmers over there.

Very good.

- Delicious.

- Come on!

- Have you been here before, on Sardinia?

- No, it's the first time.

It's a cool island.

I always say cool. "A cool island,

full of cool Sardinians..."

Oh, you opened the bottle of champagne already.

Yes. I thought it was a good idea to start.

- You're the first ones who we have told.

- How nice!

- You see?

- Here's to you guys.

My friend has a dress you designed.

She guards it like a treasure.

- You make nice things.

- Thanks.

- But I can't really afford them.

- Yeah... Me neither.

She's so succesful, I have to get her pregnant

to make sure she stays with me.

Now the truth comes out.

You think it would suit me?

- Me as a father?

- Yes, of course.

It's something that suits everybody, no?

Well, yeah.

- But we don't know each other that well.

- What do you mean, we don't know each other that well?

I think we know each other quite well.

Of course we know eachother well,

but we're not very close...

When it comes to things like this,

friends can judge it in a better way.

- Gitti, did he actually tell you about me?

- Yes.

Nights and nights he has been talking about you.

- That's how I imagined it.

- I thought so.

I don't have any friends besides you.

Well, yeah. Later on, you probably

can still become friends.

Exactly.

Is it the pregnancy or do you

often have strange dreams as well?

I rarely dream.

I dreamt something very funny.

I dreamt I adopted a giraffe

together with Larissa,

you know her, the art teacher.

We drank coffee on a hill

and waited for it.

When the giraffe came to us,

it was so obvious

that the hill was about

the same height as the giraffe.

We were so overwhelmed

and I was so scared.

Yeah, and then Hans came

and in a professional way

he handled the giraffe very carefully

like he had never done anything else

in his life.

It was so calming.

Hans said hello to the giraffe.

He was the only one who could

handle the giraffe in a proper way.

What whould that mean?

It's not very deep, no?

That's the embarassing thing.

It's not that embarassing when you dream something

without any meaning.

That's right.

Chris, what do you do?

Don't be so secretive.

Oh, I do a lot of different things.

Perhaps something here on the island.

I'm planning on renovating a villa.

Oh yeah? And? Is it going well?

Yes, it can turn out quite well.

But that's something for in the future.

And what do you do?

I have worked very hard lately.

I have to recharge my batteries first.

We have worked for the Documenta fair

for about one and a half years.

We have built a new orangery.

I'm just a bit lost for the moment.

I want to lose weight,

so I'll look a bit better

by the time the baby is born.

- But was it fun?

- Sure. It was great.

That's what the dude should do too.

- Which dude?

- Your friend.

He's alright, but unfortunately he's a romantic.

What do you mean he's a romantic?

He believes in a world that doesn't exist.

That's a bit too mystical for me.

What do you mean by that?

He wins a competition but doesn't pull through with it,

because his design is being mixed with another.

That's just stupid.

That's exactly what I do now.

I invite you for some cheese and wine,

I pretend your ideas are mine,

and in the end I have my way.

Why do you say that to me?

He's sitting there.

Because I'm talking to you for the moment.

Chris knows I would help him at all times.

We don't need these old-fashioned phrases and teachings.

- He didn't mean it that way.

- But you're annoyed by it too.

- Come on.

- Come on!

I think you're a bit patronizing.

- Well, that's how I am.

- I don't care what you're like.

- Stop it.

- Enough is enough.

Hey, hello! It's kind of silly.

Everyone of us,

Hans at least, I know that,

thinks Chris does nice things.

I'll go get some brandy to calm things down.

Chris is a genius.

I don't know a single person

who can make such complex things,

designed in such a simple but intelligent way.

- You're doing it again.

- What?

The way you talk about things.

I'm not so keen to share this with you.

Very nice Brunhilde, hm?

One who always defends her man.

I don't want to listen to this right now.

It's not easy for us, isn't it?

You are so embarassing.

Here you are.

- You're not angry, are you?

- Of course not.

I'm waiting until something becomes of you.

What do you do?

You working together with Philip?

Yeah, it's really good.

We complement each other perfectly.

Philip was slowly starting to get nervous.

He thinks our designs are too expensive

and too complicated for him.

He just had two children.

I have recently seen your superb design at the terraces.

Unfortunately, it didn't get built.

Do you know the people

of this Lowa competition?

Yes, all of them have worked for Haussmann.

But they are conservative a**holes.

We submitted something one day,

in between bigger projects. It didn't work out.

Yes, that's the problem.

We also took part, but it didn't work out either.

Our design was actually quite good.

They don't even care.

You never told me that.

No.

I really don't want to know

who will renovate the museum.

Loser.

- What's that?

- What?

That's my new backpack.

- You can't take that one with you.

- Yes, I can.

- What's in it?

- I can't tell you.

- I'm not going with that.

- You don't have to.

- I'm not going to carry it.

- Yeah.

Come on Chris...

It's a surprise.

- Just tell me what's in it.

- No.

Ok...

Well, it's a paraglider.

You don't know everything about me.

I've done this back in the days

and I wanted to fly into the valley with you.

No, really!

It's something I have always wanted to do.

Really.

Sorry.

Sorry.

And you really believed me...

I didn't believe you.

Yes you did!

Sorry.

I'm sorry, man.

Stay on the track.

- Why?

- At the top, it will join together again.

Ok.

Is it much further?

- What?

- Well, the place you are looking for.

Are we at the right mountain yet?

Yes, I think so.

Well then...

Don't look.

Champagne?

After this, it's still a bit further.

Are you serious?

Have a look again if you're not sure?

I'm sure, but let's stay here for a while.

Man, what you have put together here.

I really don't want to get drunk here.

I'll prepare you a plate.

Why didn't you tell me about the competition.

I didn't get the chance.

One week?

I'm sorry it didn't work out.

But I understand why you didn't want to tell me.

I just want to say that...

you make everything right.

I think it's amazing,
