Homesick

Okay, now it's quiet again.

We have peace at home again.

Go on! Go on!

This way...

Wait, wait, wait.

I can't get the key... ah! Now!

Here?

Hold on, we can't get through.

This way!

Just this way!

- Upended!

Yep, thanks!

All right, that's the kitchen.

the music room is straight ahead...

The living room to the left...

That goes into the kitchen,

doesn't it?

Just put it down somewhere.

Okay.

Careful!

Wow! Cool wall.

Yeah, we got it like that.

I think it's pretty awesome.

But Jessi considers painting it again.

- Why is that?

Other people have to pay

to get something like that done.

The bathroom is back there, right?

Hey, that wall is awesome!

The whole place is awesome.

All these rooms with high ceilings!

Melli, are you jealous?

- Haha.

A film by JAKOB M. ERWA

Can you hand me my glass of wine?

- There you go.

Thank you for all your help!

- Great flat!

Thank you.

Thank you.

What for?

For everything.

Evening!

- Yes, good evening, young man!

I know you might have

other habits than we do.

But we can hear your music

very loud in our bedroom.

Oh, is it too loud? I'm sorry.

It's after midnight.

Maybe you consider calling it quits?

My husband has a light sleep.

You know?

Good evening!

- Good evening!

I'm really sorry. Well, um...

We will be quiet now.

Good night!

- Good night!

What was that?

Hello!

- Hello!

We are your new neighbours

from downstairs.

We want to apologise for

the loud music, once again.

Now that's charming!

That's why you have come here?

I'm Lorenz, hello!

- Hilde Domweber.

Jessica.

- Jessica.

Oh, I have got

something for you as well.

Wait a moment.

A little welcome gift!

Oh, well... Thanks!

Not worth mentioning.

A warm welcome.

Sorry again for yesterday,

that won't happen again.

No hard feelings!

We once were young, too.

In the past, only people of our age

used to live here.

But some couldn't afford the rent

anymore. Others passed away.

The neighbourhood changes.

The house changes. That's how it goes.

Well then! Thanks once again!

If you need anything: ring the bell.

Thanks!

- Thanks!

I'm the inofficial caretaker here,

you know?

Ah! Okay.

Does every new neighbour get this?

Or is it just bad luck?

Come on, let's just put it somewhere

it may accidentally fall down.

Isn't it strange that the neighbours

can look right into our flat?

If they enjoy it.

We've got nothing to hide.

No kidding!

I guess it will be fine once

they found out how boring we are.

If you want we can

put up some curtains tomorrow?

Well, no.

But you promised that the internet

would be ok. So why isn't it working?

That's why I notified

the change of addresses that early...

Yes.

Yes, I'm holding on.

Yes?

So please, connect me.

Oops!

Someone's in a hurry!

- You scared me!

No worries, it's just me.

We will probably meet more often.

Hello?

Here? - Yes.

Ah! That does me good.

Not too hard, be more gentle.

You can massage yourself

if you're delivering a lecture.

I'll keep quiet.

They want to visit our flat.

Who are "they"?

My parents called.

So they should come and visit.

- But not as such!

Everything should look...

It's not presentable like that.

or is it?

Why not?

We're not a museum.

Hey, they know we just moved in.

Tell them we're inviting them over

for a picnic with moving boxes romance.

Hello?

Yes, please?

What? Really?

Yes, okay, thank you!

Thank you. You too!

It's me. I will fly!

Really?

- Yes!

That's awesome!

I'm so happy!

I'm so happy!

Certainly the right choice.

And so bright!

Thanks, Mum.

But...

these walls will be painted.

right?

No, Dad. They'll stay like this.

What?

Like this?

Yes, we like it like this.

Well, I'm only saying...

one is allowed to ask

if the one is paying half of the rent.

Jessi will be flying to Moscow

next month.

She has been chosen

from all German academies...

to represent Germany in the

"Young Classix Award".

It's an international competition

considered for the elite.

Great, darling!

Well, that sounds alright.

Will they pay the flights

or do I have to pay for this?

Dad, that's a serious thing.

Each country elects only one musician.

I've been working for

such an opportunity for years.

That's not a funny game. It's my chance.

And yes:
All costs will be covered.

No worries.

Ha! That's where my tax money goes!

Well, to be serious: I'm happy for you.

I'll support you as long

as you're enjoying it.

Cheers!

Do you think, we should

really paint this wall?

Nonsense!

Why?

Hey... hey.. Jessi!

What's the matter?

All in all, it has been quite

a nice evening. Huh?

You do know your father.

He doesn't know any better.

Your Mum almost didn't want to leave.

She liked it.

I shouldn't have bothered...

to arrange the whole flat in one day.

He always picks on something!

It took us so long

to find a beautiful place.

Don't let it be ruined.

Is my make-up smudged now?

A little bit.

But you're still cute.

You don't have to prove yourself

all the time.

Yes.

Okay.

Hello!

Is it a him or a her?

And how old are you?

Umm, I don't know.

A few weeks, I guess.

It's a male, his name is Pikachu.

Pardon?

- Pikachu.

Actually, animals are not

allowed here.

But I won't tell anyone!

The management

didn't mention that.

Then it will be fine.

Have a nice day!

Bye!

As long as it stays clean!

Come on, sweetie!

Pikachu!

Well, then stay in there!

He needs time to acclimate.

I'm crawling over the floor for an hour.

He doesn't like me.

He likes everyone who feeds him!

Give him some time!

I gotta go or I'll be late.

Kiss!

Bye, you two!

- Bye!

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?!

Good morning, my dear.

- Hello.

Well, don't look so scared!

In the last part you had the courage

to make it more personal.

It's the subtle nuances,

they make the difference.

Very well done.

They are all technically excellent.

Like you are.

Don't worry.

But dare to be more emotional.

That will make the difference.

You can do it.

I know you can.

You just have to believe in yourself.

Yes, thank you.

I'm trying hard, I can do better.

Okay.

Bye!

- See you!

In front of whose door is that?

- In front of ours.

It was there when I got home.

- Oh Sh*t!

Poor thing!

- Yes, very funny. I was so amused.

Sorry.

Who does such a thing?

That's what I'd like to know, too.

I went up to our neighbours.

They didn't even open the door.

Maybe they weren't at home.

- They were. I could hear them inside.

Maybe they didn't

hear the bell or were busy.

Busy? With new surprises?

Lorenz, honestly: I don't know...

If you want.

I head upstairs to talk to them.

They wouldn't open the door anyway.

Told you so.

Yes? How can I help you?

Evening!

Please excuse the late disturbance...

Well, my girlfriend found a small pile

in front of our door...

Animal faeces...

So we're a bit worried.

Oh my goodness.

How terrible! Poor girl!

But this wouldn't happen here.

It's a clean house.

Yes, of course.

Haven't you seen or heard
