even if she has nothing.
Isn't that right, Father?
You see, my father things the same.
Anyway, the contract will
feature an extensive list
of everything
she takes with her.
In 4 weeks we'll marry and...
I hope you made good coffee.
She has gotten really pretty,
since she's with us.
How much milk do you want?
When smiling,
you look a lot nicer, Helga.
Leave it!
I'll pour the coffee.
Helga made the cake.
- Really?
- Yes.
One day, she'll make
her husband to be, very happy.
A woman who's been in court?
What are you doing?
Why are you always running away?
I want to know why Miss Gertrud
has a grudge against me?
Come on, let's have some coffee.
Maybe it's because I have a child.
Don't take everything so seriously.
I can't see why you're taking
this thing so seriously?
It's all natural
that I choose the maids myself,
when I come here.
Yesterday, you had no problem
with Helga being here.
I changed my mind.
I can't just sent Helga
away like that.
Where is she supposed to go?
If you want me to join you
here as your wife,
you can't refuse
my very first request.
You may be right, Gertrud.
I'll tell her to leave.
Have a safe trip home!
I need to tell you something.
Nothing. Get back to work.
What are you looking for?
Somebody took the knife,
I'm supposed to cut some pinewood.
Here, take my knife.
Just put it back in my pocket
when you're done.
You know, Helga...
I've...
Nothing!
Mother, Gertrud wants Helga to leave.
I want you to know,
I want Helga to stay.
Really?
But if Gertrud wants it...
We have no reason to
fire the maid?
- But Karsten!
- No, Mother!
Gertrud doesn't understand this.
I don't know
if you're in the right.
Rigth?
Helga has a right to stay here.
That's for sure.
Come and sit with me.
Put that away for now.
Help me here with these beans.
I need to talk to you.
Your hands are small!
They don't keep me from working.
When Karsten gets married,
I won't be in charge
of this farm anymore.
Things are bound to change then.
Of course!
I'll do my best
You seem to like Karsten a lot.
You know, Helga,
Gertrud, she doesn't
know you like we do.
But in 4 weeks,
she'll be in charge.
when it's in love.
Often, jealousy comes up,
and that's no good,
in a newlywed couple.
I understand.
When the misses arrives,
in 4 weeks,
I'll leave this farm.
I will take care of you.
Anybody want to join us?
We're headed for the church.
but you can take Helga.
Do you want get a ride to church?
They're waiting outside.
I don't want to go to the church.
What's that bundle for?
- My belongings.
- What?
I want to leave
before Miss Gertrud arrives.
Really?
Apparently somebody told you.
But I'm telling you to stay!
Go ahead!
Lets' go, we're already late.
Your belongings remain here.
Who told Helga to leave?
You don't want to respect
Gertrud's wish?
Gertrud can say whatever she wants,
I'm in charge and Helga stays.
I don't know
why you're so angry about this.
She should leave
because she has a child?
That's nonsense. She stays.
I'll take her to church on my carriage.
For everyone to see.
Come!
Get up. You don't want to?
I can't drive to church
with you.
I can't show up there with you.
Isn't Karsten coming to liturgy?
Be quiet, come.
Why are you running away from me?
I can't come to church with you.
It's not good!
Do you think I forgot
that you scattered
ashes on our stove?
Ashes...
This is not good.
This can't end well.
I watched your horses, Karsten.
You're here too, Helga!
Stay. Get up, c'mon.
- Should I give you a ride to church, Jens?
- No.
I don't go to church.
Church is for those who wait.
Mothers waiting for children,
the elderly for their death
and brides for their sweethearts.
You too,
have a bride waiting for you in church..
And you're running out
into the marshland...
I think it's better
you walk on your own from here on.
The church filled,
everybody is looking at us,
and in two days
you're going to get married.
You're coming with me.
In front of everybody.
The door has opened.
I have to go.
Your bride is coming.
You're staying.
- Get in, Gertrud.
- Yes, Father.
Didn't you see me?
I though the maid was to leave.
I want to know what's going on.
Is she leaving, yes or no?
- But you can't just...
- It's not too late, Karsten.
Maybe we misinterpreted
our feelings for each other.
If you insist, Gertrud,
I can't keep her.
C'mon, Karsten, get up!
Lunch is going cold.
You see, this time,
Father invited you.
Stop, Karsten, not like this.
You're with us today,
let's go to the tavern.
- It's your bachelor party!
- There's no escape!
Let him go, Gertrud!
- Goodbye, Gertrud!
- Goodbye, Karsten!
C'mon, you're paying!
Father!
You'll have to get home on your own.
Coming.
I'll be back later tonight.
Enough guys, I'm done for tonight
I'll go home and sleep.
C'mon!
The day after tomorrow,
you can sleep all you want.
Sleep? And what else do you wish for?
Yes, you'll do that in 2 days.
We will all have another drink!
But that's really the last one.
C'mon! Music!
Where's Hannie?
She has to sing.
Hannie, sing for us!
This sure is a fun place!
- Schnapps!
- And beer!
Hey, look!
Karsten, wake up!
What are you thinking about?
His bride, who else?
What is it?
Oh, it's not you!
What do you want boy?
What is it?
Deducting the last two leases.
Karsten, you've finally arrived!
You're late for breakfast.
All the others are
already working the fields.
I came home late last night.
Can you please seam up my vest?
I tore it, when I got
caught somewhere.
Caught by loads of beer, you mean?
Looks a lot like
a scuffle, to me.
I wouldn't know.
The guys did to me
whatever they wanted.
From one tavern to the next,
always pouring drinks,
schnapps and beer.
I don't know where I've been
and what I've done.
It was a cursed night, yesterday.
Full moon,
turns everybody into wild animals.
They say a cow gave birth
to a five-legged calf,
and by the river
somebody was stabbed to death.
That's horrible!
Always with the knifes!
Apparently
it started in the sailor's bar,
and there were
farmers involved to.
And then?
Nothing.
This morning, they found the body
next to the river.
By the river?
A piece of the knife
stuck in the victim's skull.
I have to get going.
Into the marsh.
You haven't even
touched your coffee.
I have to get going too.
Stay a little longer.
A five-legged calf?
That is a bad omen!
That trench over there
is to shallow,
Tomorrow,
we'll have to dry it out and dig deeper.
The day of my wedding?
It's not that urgent.
But the weather might change.
Yes, alright.
I didn't want you to work
on my wedding day.
When we meet the priest,
tell him that he should make
Karsten look good in his sermon.
Honest, sincere and hardworking.
Don't forget "hardworking".
