Have you guys got 2 Euros?

Yeah, I have.

Well, if it isn't Anna Bergmann.

- Hello, Mrs. Steiner.

- Hello.

Take care, Mrs. Steiner.

You too. Be good.

Never expected to see you again.

I thought

you must have died or something.

Yes, it's been a long time.

So Gitti...

wanted to be scattered over the lake.

Totally anonymous.

Didn't want anybody there.

My condolences.

Thanks.

Who's this fella?

He's my fianc.

Nice to meet you.

A good-looking young man.

This is your first time here?

It's beautiful.

Not for long.

What's that?

That's Bright Night.

The haven of the heart.

It looks pretty gloomy.

I see security.

Warmth.

I see solitude.

It has been a long time.

Well...

Goodbye.

How do you know her?

Since when am I your "fianc"?

Was it okay,

seeing her again now?

It's fine.

Since when am I your fianc?

What's your problem?

Forget it.

So many memories.

All in all, school was okay, wasn't it?

You remember where you sat?

It was never the same place.

And it was all so long ago.

Where have our men gone?

I always sat at the back.

Did you have Bhmer in Physics?

The old witch.

Stefan?

You were always the teacher's pet,

as I remember it.

Say,

are you happy, you and Marc?

Yes.

And?

He still needs room to roam?

How come

you didn't tell Stefan about us?

Because it hurt.

There you are!

- There you are.

- You disappeared.

Anna and I

have something to show you.

Something

nice.

Anna and I

often used to come up here...

To admire the sunset.

Romantic.

It's a real shame

there's nothing left here.

There's our energy revolution.

Wasn't it here, Bernd?

Yes.

What was?

A friend of ours jumped...

Seriously?

And?

Dead.

When was this?

When we were in high school,

during the summer vacation.

The building was near-deserted,

he came up here and...

jumped off.

It's getting chilly.

I think we should go back.

Didn't they spend days

looking for him?

His whole body was covered

in layer after layer of ants.

He was invisible.

The ants around here were huge.

That big, right?

How did that happen, Anna?

What are you trying to say?

Can you just let it go?

You knew the guy well?

Who?

This friend of yours.

Not really.

He wasn't my friend.

Really? I thought he was.

Heiko was the biggest a**hole ever,

constantly teasing people,

over and over.

Then he started coming onto Bernd,

and suddenly being gay was trendy.

I just wanted to protect Bernd.

What?

Protect him? In what way?

In what way?

Bernd was my boyfriend, after all.

So, you knew Heiko pretty well.

Yes, I vaguely knew him.

Can we stop the cross-examination now?

What was it like

being gay in East Germany?

Openly gay, I mean.

Marc, that's enough.

We're going.

You don't have to answer, Anna.

What do you want from me?

You knew Heiko well enough

to out him.

To the whole village

and all his classmates.

And then...

- Don't listen.

- It's okay.

And you, Stefan?

Have you ever kissed a guy?

Hands off my boyfriend.

I've not done anything yet.

It's exposure therapy.

Let go of me!

I'm into women.

I mean, that woman.

Fidelity.

I must analyze it some day.

The passion for property is in it.

Doze off here

and you start having crackpot dreams.

That smells wonderful.

Sausage hotpot, right?

You feeling okay?

And you?

I know I insisted we come here.

I just wanted

to know you and your past better.

And?

You're definitely different here

than at home.

For good or bad?

How's that soup doing?

Almost ready.

What's the story with Heiko?

He had personal issues.

How about we set the table?

Sure, of course.

Is that him there?

"17-year-old found dead.

"People's Police

treating it as accidental. "

Why accidental?

In East Germany,

everybody was happy.

Nobody had a reason

to take their own life.

What else could the paper print?

"Tuesday noon,

Kerkwitz People's Police

"made a gruesome find.

"The corpse of a 17-year-old male

"on the north side

of Golyadkin High School.

"The police believe the young man

"fell from the roof

of the 4-story building on Friday night.

"He died of his injuries

on Tuesday morning. "

Tuesday morning?

So what do we do now?

Sleep?

I'll open another bottle.

Did you know,

the plural of penis is penes?

I once had a guy

with one that big.

I hardly slip salami

through a barn door, but that?

No way.

What are you saying?

Can we stop

talking about penises, please?

Penes!

- Come on, let's dance.

- No!

I don't feel like it.

I think I'm done.

I'm going to bed.

Come on, stay a bit longer.

Yeah, stay a bit longer.

I think tonight needs a little...

reflection.

Reflection?

That can be very bad for you.

Exactly.

I always get into a kind of pose...

Please tell.

It's like I'm watching myself,

down on my knees,

giving you head,

and I start wondering

if I shaved my p*ssy properly.

While thinking of your father?

No, you.

Leave me alone!

I didn't say a word.

Very interesting, Anna.

Tell us what you guys could improve.

Eventually,

I get a reaction from you.

"Great, thanks,

but that's enough. "

How else is sex bad with me?

It's good you can talk about this.

Well, you...

You could grasp hold

of my head more often.

You're so hesitant.

I don't want to ruin anything.

Bullshit!

What about you?

What would you like to improve?

Yes, tell me.

You pose.

You strike a pose.

The bed isn't a catwalk.

And when you blow me...

You gnaw on it.

Sometimes.

Kind of.

What did you mean earlier

with the salami, please?

It's been ages since we had sex

that blows your mind.

What do you mean?

Sex that totally knocks you out.

Sex always knocks me out.

We haven't had

mind-blowing sex in ages either.

What kind of sex then?

Basically, it's been limited to f***ing.

How can it be anything else

when you're not faithful?

We're very faithful to each other.

Sure!

We only sleep with others.

The rule is,

nobody else fucks us.

Usually.

That wing chair

would be wonderful for your office.

Take it.

- What the heck!

- Stay on topic.

What topic?

Alternative love and lifestyles.

And wing chairs.

I'll leave the tableware to the neighbor.

We had great sex, Bernd.

I'm pleased to hear it.

I'm very pleased to hear it.

Yeah, me too.

You know the Kafka quote?

"Intercourse is punishment

for being happy together. "

Kafka...

Poor sucker.

Can you explain

what's wrong with Anna?

Bring her to see me at the office.

Do you love me?

Why don't you say anything?

You can't be asleep already?

Can't you sleep?

You're sad.

What?

What?

You've got a boner!

In commemoration

of old times.

Morning.

Good morning.

Pass me a roll, will you?

Thanks.

I'd like to stay here a bit.

I have a load of meetings lined up.

Two days, we said.

But it's beautiful here.

I want to stay a few days,

before going back to the office.

It wasn't such a good idea,

the four of us here.

I'm going to pack my bag.

If you touch him, I'll kill you.

I'll call you.

Bright Night

I shine so wonderfully bright...
