Little Sister Page #3

Synopsis: After several years without contact, Martijn visits his sister Daantje, who just started to live on her own in Amsterdam. He tells her he is going to make a documentary from her life, and enters her home live with a video camera. This creates tension between Daantje and her brother because he wants to recall something that happened between them in the past. To keep Martijn at a distance, Daantje starts a relationship with Ramón, but Martijn gets between them. He manages to talk to her so that she remembers the things that happened when they were kids. This helps him to overcome his obsession for his sister, and after playing over their history, he is finally able to see her without the video camera like he did during the course of the movie.

Im Ramon.

Your wretched little thing.

Daan, please call me.

Please call me.

Please.

That's it.

Beautiful.

Please show it to her.

You bet, sucker.

Where were you? How did it go?

He won't be bothering us for a while.

- What did you tell him?

The truth.

- You?

What was all that fuss about?

- I had to give you this.

A poem. By Ramon.

Dear Daan, under the circumstances

I find it very difficult...

What a load of crap.

- He loves you. Don't mock him.

What did I do, Daan,

to deserve this cruel fate?

It is sad.

- Its terrible.

Painful.

Our Ramon.

Alone.

- All alone.

Lonely.

- Standing outside.

Peek- a- boo.

You can't be my little sister.

They must've adopted you.

Would you have liked that?

That's up to you.

Happy birthday to you

happy birthday, dear Daantje

happy birthday to you

Tijn.

Why do you always

have to ruin everything?

I have to know what I did.

- Damn, Martijn. Stop it.

I have to know.

- Why? Aren't we happy now?

Im not.

Daantje, please.

Tijn, why are you here?

Why are you here?

- Tell me where I am.

Don't be silly.

Why did you wake me up so early?

I didn't wake you up. You woke me up.

In my room?

- So we're in your room.

Yes. And you are going

to lie in bed with me.

Do you want me to?

No. I think it's scary.

- So why did you ask me?

You asked me.

Is that what they made you believe?

- They didn't make me believe anything.

But you are the boss, little sister.

Aren't you?

Im not. You are. You always do

what you want. How could I be the boss?

It was you, Daantje.

Stop deceiving yourself.

I didn't want anything.

- You wanted to know.

I don't want anything.

- Stop denying it.

Don't you know what lm talking about?

- No. Cut it out.

Do you want me to show you?

Do you?

You don't have to show me anything.

I won't react anyway.

What are you doing?

Why didn't you ring the bell?

The doorbell isn't working.

Are the two of you enjoying yourselves?

Why are you here, Ingeborg?

What did you think

of Ramon's message?

What message?

The video message

that Martijn recorded.

You know, that crap:

'What have I done, Daan? '

Is that what you mean?

It hasn't changed anything.

Why not?

He's still a cheater. Plain and simple.

Why won't you talk to him?

Don't be so hard on him.

Ill tell you again: He cheated on me.

I didn't make that up.

Stop bullshitting. Leave me alone.

- Give him a chance.

I know how to live my own life.

Stop interfering and leave me alone.

Leave me alone.

- Think about what you're doing.

Shut the f*** up and piss off.

Get lost.

Well done, Daantje.

- You shut up as well.

Why didn't you show me

Ramon's video message?

I want to show you my films.

- I want to watch that video.

Those films are far more important.

Why do you always decide

what I can watch? Show me Ramon. Now.

Impossible. I erased that tape.

You never erase them.

- I ran out of tapes.

Damn. What am I to think of this?

- I did it for you.

I don't want to hurt you.

- Don't lie.

Daantje, I want you

to watch those films.

F*** off.

You have to watch. You have to. Now.

- Maybe tomorrow.

No. Now.

- Stop ordering me around.

Daan...

Please call me.

Are you as lonely as I am?

Martijn.

Get up, lazy dog.

- Give it to me.

Beauty.

Sh*t.

Victor is gone.

F***.

- You can't find them, can you?

I will find them.

- What if you can't?

I will find them.

- Suppose you don't.

Help me.

- I can't. Im filming.

Sh*t.

Its you. You're behind all this.

- No. Im just filming it.

What do you want from me?

- You know what I want.

But you're too afraid to admit it.

- How profound, Martijn.

So who's really the boss?

- Not you, loser.

See. You are the boss.

Try and find your tapes

before someone else watches them.

Have you checked under the bed?

Are you looking for something?

I have to look behind the counter.

I just want to...

Goddamn.

- Moron.

What are you going to do

now that everything is gone?

Switch that thing off.

What's the use? It might as well

not have happened at all.

What might as well

not have happened at all?

Everything.

For the first time in my life I had the

feeling I was doing something useful.

That I could put an end to the misery.

- What misery?

What do you think?

Loneliness. Boarding school.

Well said, Martijn.

But why are you deceiving me?

Am I deceiving you?

- Don't you know what lm talking about?

Is this what you were looking for?

Switch that thing off.

- Nice footage, Martijn.

I would miss the astonished look

on your face. If we don't film you...

...you'll say this hasn't happened at all.

- Yes, tiny tiny tiny Tijn.

Sh*t.

Goodbye, Tijn.

You're her little brother, aren't you?

- Piss off.

Extremely beautiful.

I bit Daantje.

- It was a hickey. You didn't bite her.

What was that?

- Nothing.

Amazing. Did you see the audience?

Did you look at them?

I really had to boost Daantje.

- It was great.

Ramon, give the camera to me.

I also want to film.

Women should not film.

- Give it to me.

Aren't you going to let me in?

How did you like the show?

Why are you here, Daantje?

Im here to wake you up.

Its my birthday.

Lie down.

You're still asleep.

Between the sheets.

Tijn...

...I have a question for you.

I want to know about Claudia.

What do you do with her...

...when you don't want me around?

Why do you want to know?

Do you kiss?

We do.

What are the kisses like?

They are long kisses.

How?

Like that.

And what does she do?

The same.

- In the air as well?

No, silly. She touches me.

Show me.

Mom and dad can come in any moment.

- Im the boss.

And what happens next?

That's it.

- No, it isn't.

It is.

Claudia has breasts.

So you make love, don't you?

We do. Sometimes.

Show me.

Im the boss.

- They can come in any moment.

I want to know. Its my birthday.

You have to lie

on top of each other.

Go ahead.

You have to undress first.

You first.

Then what?

I don't know.

This is it.

What do you mean? Is that all?

It is.

- So you just lie like this.

Yes.

You really didn't know what to do next?

No. How should I know?

And Claudia didn't know either?

She was even more nervous than I was.

I never went any further than this.

Im so sorry.

Knives.

Ive got very sharp knives.

Really sharp.

What kind of tapes are those?

- Used videotapes.

You can re- record them.

You can use them again.

What's on them?

- I never watch old tapes.

I don't have the time for that. Why

should I watch somebody else's films?

It seems fun to me.

- No.

Some of the people who make videos

are really odd.

Everybody buys a camera

and starts filming these days.

Absolutely crazy. They all think

they are good at making films.

Really, you can use them again.

It doesn't cost a penny to...

Simply remove those record tabs.

And then you can re- record them.

How much are they? The whole lot.

The whole box? 25 guilders.

- Come on, they're used.

Alright then. Make it ten.
