The Divine Order Page #2

Take a couple of brochures with you.

They explain everything better.

And these,

and these,

and that.

They are free.

Thank you.

Good evening.

What? To Zurich?

Yes, and she said

she is not coming home.

She called an hour ago.

My god, there's.

I am so, so sorry.

How could you leave her alone

with that man, Nora?

She said they were just

going for a quick ride.

She was giving you the runaround too,

just like the rest of us.

There will be consequences for her.

No doubt about it.

I'm going to bed.

Nora, it's not your fault.

The way she used me like that

when her bloke realizes

she has no money,

she'll be back home in no time.

About this job advert

I've been thinking about it.

I'd be home in the evenings.

We'd just have to eat

a little later.

And I'm sure I can find a solution

for the boys' lunch.

But we've talked

about this already.

But we didn't finish.

Won't it be too much for you?

The household, my father,

the boys

I don't want my sons having

to eat tinned ravioli.

- But your sons like it.

I also don't want

you being around strange men

all the time.

- Strange men?

- Other employees,

customers, the boss!

- But hans!

- And I'm sure you can imagine

what it would be like at work.

Ruckstuhl's wife has to go to work,

because he doesn't earn enough.

I don't want that, Nora.

We could at least

try it out for a bit.

No, Nora.

You can't do it without my

permission anyway. That is the law.

- The law?

- Yes, Nora. The law.

I have to go.

There is the house-keeping money

for the next two weeks.

Swiss marriage law

Women's suffrage

Mummy?

When is breakfast?

I'll be right there, ok?

Please, do something!

I need your help.

- What happened?

Talk to my father!

Please!

This is a sensible educational measure.

We only want the best for your daughter.

We at the guardianship office

have experience with cases like these.

I just need your signature,

mr ruckstuhl. Here.

What's going on?

Administrative detention

in a children's home.

Especially with young women,

this can prevent,

everything going wrong.

Don't you think we could talk

to Hanna again? All of us, nice and calmly.

She had lots of warnings. Now it's enough.

It has to stop somewhere!

She was found in a flat

in Zurich.

The only girl

with lots of young men.

Cannabis had been consumed.

We need to protect her from herself.

Therese, don't do this!

Decisions of this kind

are the responsibility

of the head of the family. The father has

ultimate responsibility for his children.

Don't worry.

Goodbye.

We just want the best for Hanna.

We have a special guest

for our group today. Miss Charlotte wipf,

president of the anti-politication of women

action committee.

Thank you. Thanks, magda.

Is it true, that Hanna was

taken into guardianship?

- It is an honor for me

- yes.

...to talk to the women's and mothers' club

today. - How awful for therese and Werner.

How awful for Hanna.

I do not need to

explain to you,

why what they call emancipation

is in reality a curse

for us women.

Ladies, it is a privilege

to be able to dedicate oneself

completely to one's family.

I had to manage the

family company.

That left no space for a

husband and children.

So I know what I'm talking about.

Although Swiss women do not currently

have the right to vote, they can

use their feminine influence

to get what they want.

Equality of the sexes

is a sin against nature.

Ladies, women in politics

are simply against the divine order.

- Bravo.

- I bet she just wants money.

Every franc donated

helps support our mission.

She just doesn't want to lose

her position in the village.

She has these little "jobs" everywhere.

I am only giving two francs.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Many thanks.

Thank you.

No.

I don't wish to donate,

I am in favour of women's right to vote.

Fortunately, your opinion

does not count, mrs ruckstuhl.

I am sure your husband

will vote on our side.

Thank you.

Nora!

Wow! I didn't think

you had it in you.

Well done! I'm impressed.

I was in favour in 1959. Back then,

I was the only one in the village!

Now we can carry on.

I'm in.

You're in?

Fighting for the right to vote

for us women.

We can't let miss wipf

have it all her way.

She thinks her opinion

is the only one that counts.

Good night.

Fredy,

we would like to reserve

the parish hall.

On 23 January.

Let me have a look.

The date

is still free.

Who is the reservation for?

I need to write it down

for the local action committee

for women's right to vote.

Yes, exactly.

- For?

- Yes, for women's right to vote, fredy.

Are you deaf?

You were dead against it

in 1959.

Nonsense, I've always been in favour.

We are organizing

an information event.

An information event?

"Women must remain quiet in society."

That's what it says in the Bible.

Find yourselves somewhere else.

"Thou shalt not commit adultery."

That's in the Bible too, fredy.

We need to advertise.

Posters, flyers

and we could offer

coffee and cakes.

And we need a speaker.

The best thing would be

to ask someone from the association

for women's equality.

- Vroni, what are you doing?

- For god's sake, not again!

You cannot take your eye off

mother for a second.

- Hello.

- Hello.

An Italian took over my restaurant.

A dirty, stinking garlic-eater.

Mother...

You can't just charge in here.

I spent 40 years of my life here.

I worked, day and night.

Look over there,

it's your father.

Ruedi.

We were so young,

when we started out here.

He wasted all the money on women and booze.

There was nothing

left for me. Not a penny.

I am living off benefits..

The miserable bastard!

My pub!

- Mother, as far as I am concerned,

father can rot in hell.

But you still can't come in here.

You risk getting

for trespassing.

- And who will pay the fine?

- The Italian, should make a report.

Let them arrest me. Then I'll go

to prison and serve my time.

Then at least I wouldn't have to live

in that miserable little room at yours.

We did her up a lovely room.

You should be grateful that we took you in.

Without us, you'd probably be

living in the almshouse.

- No doubt I'd be better off there.

- The pizzeria

is not open yet.

Excuse us.

But she is the bear-vroni.

The former owner.

Can I offer you a coffee?

No, thank you. That is very kind.

Mother

yes please.

That would be lovely.

When are you opening?

- Hopefully in February.

Is your husband doing

the renovation himself?

There is no husband.

- No husband?

- Yes,

no husband, any more.

I'm sorry.

No, no, he didn't die.

Unfortunately.

We just got divorced.

I'm doing the renovation myself.

There is

not that much.

- How come you speak such good German?

Most Italians

only know a few words.

When I was young, I came

to Switzerland. For work.

But then I went back again.

For love. And now

I'm here again.

I want to make a new start.

It can't be easy

without a husband.
