Darling,

ain't nobody gonna tell us

They're gonna be

so jealous

We're gonna be so silent

They're gonna be stoned

in silence

I didn't want to ask you,

baby

I didn't want to have to ask

anybody, baby

Is anyone asking maybe?

Can anyone even hear me?

Why are you waiting

by the door?

Can I show you something?

I had this business idea.

Hi, I'm Harry,

and I'm no longer with you.

He has cancer.

As some of you know...

You made this?

And most of you may suspect,

I was quite a happy kid.

I'm starting a website.

Loved the outdoors.

Online obituaries.

Love my sisters...

You shoot the video

before they pass away.

...most of the time.

It's for their friends

and family, really.

Just loved being on my own

out in the woods and the stream.

Great.

Remember...

Really, you think so?

...of trekking

through the woods,

finding secret places.

Yeah.

Discovering...

I really think so.

Mark hunting,

never got anything,

never shot anything.

Bye, Chris.

Hi, I'm unable to take

your call right now.

Please leave a message.

Excuse me.

Hi, that, um,

video camera in the lobby,

does it cover the street

as well?

You mean by the elevator?

Yeah.

Not anymore.

Years ago there was a problem.

Someone was sleeping

in the basement.

So are you telling me that

it doesn't work at all?

No need to.

Can...

You know what,

I'll talk to the landlord.

9D, right?

9D what?

They couldn't get in today.

What are you talking about?

The plumbers,

you missed your appointment.

Janusz Kubicek.

Leave a message.

Hi, this is the third time

I'm calling.

Please give me a call back.

I really need those holes

sealed in my bathroom.

It's been weeks.

You have a nice body.

You do.

So do you.

You okay?

Sorry.

It's okay.

I just...

It's all the thoughts.

It's a muscle memory,

it's just...

The body is a funny thing.

Go, go again.

Go again.

Um, it's not contagious,

but it's...

There are parts of your body

where the skin just goes crazy.

It actually, like,

this isn't an exaggeration,

it grows a thousand times

faster than regular skin,

and so it builds up into, like,

they call it a plaque,

but it just, like,

it looks like a scab,

like a scab of skin.

I understand.

I'm not afraid of it.

If anything comes up,

you can always

talk to Dr. Cassidy.

You're different today.

Guess I'm trying

to meet you halfway.

Are you hot?

What?

Are you hot?

I'm really hot.

Kind of.

I don't believe that.

What now?

Why don't you try being active?

I can stay like this

or I can go on my belly.

This is fine.

Do you inject yourself?

It's nothing to worry about.

They're just...

They're hormone shots.

Do you have high testosterone

levels or?

No, I'm...

I'm freezing my eggs.

Cryopreservation.

Do they pay you a lot?

No, I'm freezing

my eggs for myself.

Why?

Why?

Because I might want

to have a baby one day.

So you don't have a boyfriend?

No.

I don't.

Excuse me.

Can I help you with anything?

No, I think I'm

on the wrong floor.

Skull fracture, the police

says it's a hit and run,

except the f***er must have

stopped to put her in a ditch

and I can't get the image

out of my head.

It's a dream, Andro.

What do I do?

When it happens

I gotta pay a company

to sort it all out,

have her cremated, all that?

I'm gonna help you.

Yeah.

Are you gonna come up or what?

I'll try.

I'll bet.

Busy gettin' your degree though.

Yeah.

Heddy came over.

Not gonna deal with her,

the bloodsucker.

Remember the summer

she lived with us

when mom started to crack?

The bug spray she used

to rub all over herself

like it was lotion?

Yeah, it smelled awful.

Bet she used it to get high.

I even told her

she never left us any money,

you can stop pretending.

- Hi.

- Hi.

You're already here.

How are you?

How was your day?

It was uneventful, no one died.

You're really helping

people feel better.

That must be rewarding.

That why you're in

the medical field,

because it's rewarding?

Yeah, I mean,

I guess you could say that.

I get to see people change.

Okay.

What?

I'm happy to see you.

What... why would you say that?

Because it's the truth?

No, because you think

you've got me all figured out.

No, I...

I don't.

I'm so sorry.

Can you just give me one second?

What are you doing?

Nothing, I, I just looked...

Okay.

Your phone made a sound.

No, Johnny.

Johnny, you can't...

You can't go through my phone,

you can't look in my bag.

If you were with a woman,

then she wouldn't

be able to trust you.

You know,

you can't do things like that.

I'm... I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

I want to know about

the women that you sleep with.

Does it matter?

Yeah, I wanna know who they are.

Co-workers?

My co-workers?

Yeah, are there women

on the floor where you work,

doctors, nurses?

No.

Don't sh*t where you eat

kind of thing.

What? I said I was sorry.

Okay.

Come here.

Come here.

Hi, Alan.

t's Ronah.

We made some progress today

with Johnny Hayes.

We moved to genital touching,

as you suggested.

He was,

he was present throughout.

There was also

a major improvement

in his ED.

He sustained eye contact

before and after,

and, yeah,

I... I think this could be

a turning point for him.

Well, maybe you should move

to California, you know?

Better community,

better therapists.

People aren't so uptight.

It's really important

to see people outside the job.

Yeah, I know, but...

everybody's different.

No, I'm just sayin'.

You...

need to take care

of yourself first, you know?

Don't worry.

You know, I'm seeing

three clients right now,

and I just don't know

what I would do

if I had a boyfriend

on top of that.

I was never good at seeing

more than one client at a time.

Are you seeing any clients

right now?

I enjoy teaching;

t keeps me busy.

I had a difficult one.

He fell in love with you?

No, not this one.

So how do you handle that,

though?

What do you...

You know,

what do you do when you feel

like that could happen?

I just don't use deodorant

the next time,

you know what I mean?

Okay.

What if...

what if it's the other way

around?

t happens, it happens.

That'd be nice.

Yeah.

Can be kinda nice.

I do really feel like

I'm getting so much better

at feeling things

and then just moving on.

And growing.

You know, I think what I find

the most difficult

is when they... when they just

don't get better.

You know, this last one I had

a couple of years ago,

I just felt like

I couldn't help him.

You know, he was too damaged.

At first I thought

he was attractive,

manly, with sensitive eyes,

you know?

The kind of man that you want

to be with right from the start.

So what was his problem?

Terrified, terrifying kind.

Couldn't look me in the eyes,

and when I asked

to take his hand,

he just laughed at me and said,

"Well, why don't you take

my cock instead?"

So I ask him,

"Do you feel guilty

being hard right now?"

And he just...

went at me.

I mean, really.

Anja Marquardt

Anja Marquardt is a German film director who won two major international film awards for her first feature film She's Lost Control. Marquardt was previously known for her screen-writing and directing of critically acclaimed short films. Her first full-length movie explored the emotional journey of a young female student who works as a sexual surrogate and falls in love with an unusually recalcitrant client. Certain aspects of Marquardt’s work have been contrasted to Ben Lewin's similarly themed feature film The Sessions that uses a diametrically opposite approach to the topic. Marquardt stated that she intended "not to write a love story, but an anti-love story." more…
