---

And one day my life will be over,

and l'll be no more than just an actress

who didn't get enough good roles.

What do you plan to do?

Something political?

Don't be silly.

I know nothing about politics.

I want to rent a recording studio.

What?

A recording studio.

Sorry, I don't follow you.

I know. I can't tell you anymore,

but I need to know:

Can we afford it?

- Of course not.

But if it's what you want...

I can arrange something.

lla Fitzgerald once called me

the greatest singer without a voice.

Is that good, or bad?

No idea.

I've never heard you sing. Remember?

The crown prince is here.

She's afraid of what you'll think.

- Don't worry.

I've decided to tell her it's great

no matter what.

What's the song you're recording?

Shall we try again?

David?

Well? What do you think?

David?

You were fantastic. Wait a moment.

Now tell her she's great.

You said you'd say it anyway.

How can you be such an a**hole?

Hay fever. I'm sorry.

I must be allergic to something.

I wanted to tell you it was great,

even if it wasn't true.

But I can't do it.

It wasn't great.

That's merely a word, darling.

Fitzgerald was right.

But not only that. The song,

the words...

you.

You're going to be the biggest star

this country has ever seen.

Where's the song from?

Hilde wrote it herself.

Didn't she tell you?

Just keep writing.

We'll see what we can use later.

Don't stop.

Whatever you do, don't stop writing.

- Bastard!

We only just got married!

It's raining red roses...

It's the memoirs l'm meant to write...

No, it's not.

I'll get you to write them too.

This here is for your next concert.

You are such a monster!

Can't you ever relax?

It's our honeymoon, and l have to work!

I am what I have to be for you.

Really?

I hate you.

Else! Come in.

Ah, you're here, Bongi.

Yes, my child. I'm here.

How are you?

What's wrong?

Nothing. Nothing at all.

I just wanted to say

"break a leg". Come here.

Something has happened. Tell me.

Is it my mother?

No, she's fine. She's...

She's quite excited.

I've never seen her like that.

Good luck.

- Now tell me what it is!

Erich Pommer died today.

In Los Angeles.

I just heard it on the news.

I'm so sorry.

I'd hoped you didn't know

and now I've told you.

- It's okay.

I just need a moment. Just a moment.

I'll go out there soon.

Forgive me. Ah, of course.

The concert will start in 5 minutes.

In 5 minutes. Thank you.

to see you on stage tonight.

What can l do for you?

Tell them

to come and fix my make-up.

Next time they ask me how I stay fit,

I'll say I have a simple regime:

I run amok every day.

- Brilliant idea.

You should do that.

One of the most important people

in my life died today.

Mr Erich Pommer.

He once asked me a question

that l couldn't answer.

The question was:

Who is Hildegard Knef?

Mr Pommer, wherever you are,

I have found the answer.

This here is Hildegard Knef.

At 16

I used to softly say

I want to be great, be a winner,

to be happy, to never lie.

At 16 l used to softly say

I want

I want it all,

or nothing.

For me it should be raining red roses.

I should meet with all of the wonders.

The world should re-shape itself

and keep its worries to itself.

And later, I said,

I want to understand

see and experience things,

cherish them,

and later, I said,

I don't want to be alone,

but yet be free.

For me it should be raining red roses.

I should meet with all of the wonders.

Luck should behave gently,

and treat my destiny with loving care.

And today l softly say,

I should give in,

be content, but I can't

give in, can't be content,

still want to win, I want it all,

or nothing.

For me it should be raining red roses.

I should meet with

completely new wonders.

To be reborn far from my old life,

and hold on to most of what awaits me.

I want.
