Why does she stay here all the time?

- Eric!

Don't look.

Who's that man?

Vladimir...

He came for chocolate...

and a few weeks later

he was in my arms.

There's something so strange

about them...

Everybody thinks old is ugly...

but on your pictures,

they're so different.

You make them beautiful.

Why don't you try it too?

- Me? Old guys?

Never.

When a man realizes he hasn't much time left,

it changes everything.

Every moment can be his last.

It feels so precious.

I prefer to feel precious whith someone

whose heart is still beating.

Come on, your turn.

Look up.

Don't move.

What happened with that old guy

in the shop yesterday?

It seemed to be your type.

No, too cold.

Younger guys are warmer.

- And more boring.

You don't know what you're missing.

- Neither do you.

Show me.

No, not like that.

Not like that!

Stupid c*nt.

Can I stay?

- Come in.

You want some eggs?

- No.

You have a hangover?

- Stop it, you're not my mother.

Want another coffee?

Please, stay.

- Look what your friend has done now.

I'm out of here.

What did you do to my toy?

What's wrong with you?

Did Ronny drive you crazy last night?

- Stop harassing me.

Leave it.

When are you going

to behave normally?

What is that, normal,

for you, Anna?

You think it's normal what you do

with Eric? All your gadgets?

You heard what you said?

You're telling me how to behave?

You who fucks old guys?

And now, get out of here!

I don't deserve this.

Get out, I said.

And give me back my sweater.

What are you doing?

Was it you who forced the door

the other day?

I used to live here.

Who are you?

Marieke Berghoff.

Joseph's daughter?

They will destroy the building.

Everything has to be emptied.

Your mother told me

to throw everything away.

As long as I'm keeping this place,

I can't do it.

This stuff belonged to your dad.

I can't take these home.

Then I'll keep them here for a few days.

- Thanks.

You're so like him.

I'll get you something to make tea,

that'll warm you up.

I saw your bike.

I found some of my father's things.

I haven't seen a picture of him

for 12 years.

This was taken here.

You want some tea?

Is that me?

Yes.

Your mother and me.

I never saw her laugh like that.

That's incredible!

Your father and I when we were kids.

Your ears don't look like that!

I cut them off.

Are they real?

I like imperfection.

Well, thank you.

You want to see?

Yes.

Where do you find all those men?

They're my friends.

My lovers.

Remarkable...

All those men in pieces.

You have a strong eye.

You have to show them.

I don't take pictures for fun.

I'd die without it.

Ay Marieke

I loved you so

Between the towers of Bruges and Ghent

Ay Marieke so long ago

Between the towers of Bruges and Ghent

With no love, my love

Blows the wind the wordless wind

With no love, my love

Weeps the sea the old grey sea

With no love, my love

Throbs the light the darkened light

With scouring sand across my land

My flat land my Flanders land

Ay Marieke the Flemish sky

Between the towers of Bruges and Ghent

With no love, my love

Blows the wind it's over

With no love, my love

Weeps the sea already over

With no love, my love

Throbs the light everything's over

With scouring sand across my land

My flat land my Flanders land

Ay Marieke the Flemish sky

Cry with me from Bruges to Ghent

I should have come back earlier.

But you're here now.

I imagine I can see him.

When I'm with you,

I can almost believe he's still alive.

He's dead.

But I'm alive.

No, we cannot do this.

Can I sit down?

Yes.

Sorry for the other day.

That's what friends are for!

Could you replace me tonight?

It's Eric's birthday.

Sure.

Be there at eight!

There's a lot to do.

You can count on me.

- Thanks.

I saw you quite a few times

with him, no?

My wonderful Harry.

May I keep it?

- Yes, of course.

You're OK?

Yes.

I'm glad you're here.

I had a terrible nightmare

about my father.

You were his little princess.

My dad loved me.

His arms around me so strong...

so strong.

Then he left.

He should never have left you alone.

Nobody could have saved him.

Not you, not me, not your mother.

My mother?

My mother didn't love him enough.

She never stopped loving him.

That's the tragedy.

And you?

You were the only man

that made her laugh.

You're leaving? Where are you going?

- Away, mum, far away.

Why are you so angry?

Why did you lie to me

for all those years?

To protect you.

Dad left us alone.

I want to know why.

He forgot about us.

- I don't believe you.

I know why you don't want me

to see Jacobi.

Dad killed himself

and you kept it away from me.

Finally.

That's four hours

I'm waiting for you.

I've been working for two.

The boss came by earlier.

He was furious.

He said 'I'm going to fire that b*tch.'

- Did he say that?

I always work hard, always on time,

never absent.

He's going to fire you.

Why don't you leave now?

I'll work for both of us.

You have to continue

to fill the boxes.

And you have to start up

a new batch of hearts.

Everything has to be ready

by 07:
00 a.m.

Good luck.

Did you see the doctor?

- Yes.

It wasn't an accident.

She needs you.

Only you can help her through.
