the house in Tuscany?

Who said that?

-It's true, right?

Who told you that?

-It's true, isn't it?

Who says so?

-Nick.

Nick... What does Nick know

about anything? He's just bloating.

Everybody's just bloating.

It's not the same house.

It's in Umbria, something small.

I'm not prepared

to take all the blame myself.

But nobody said you had to.

We dropped the ball.

Together.

There is one thing

I do hold you responsible for.

That you left me for a worthless horrorfilm

in which you only had one scene...

...and not a single line of dialogue.

-I said "help", twice.

Let me lend you the money.

Believe me, I won't miss it.

It's about time.

-What?

That I'm leaving here.

You guys aren't fighting?

No, of course we're not fighting.

We're talking.

It just took some time.

Daddy bought a new shirt

especially for tonight.

Looks good on you.

For you, Anne.

there were pretty babies too

but not as lovely as you

Anne

from all the bright white light

you closed your eyes in fright

Anne

for a moment, I was speechless

you were so flawless

Anne

I blushed and was so happy

you had to smile

Anne

Anne, the world isn't beautiful

but you make it a lot more colorful

Anne, there's so much more ahead

it's too soon to worry

much too soon

He wanted to wait

with having children...

...until we were more financially stable.

And now that we're that,

we're not the other anymore...

...if you know what I mean.

-I understand completely what you mean.

I think I'm in love with you.

Somebody has removed the sign,

how strange.

They've removed the auction sign.

I'm prepared to adjust my concept.

-So you'll go naked too.

Sorry.

Fedor, that role is just not for me.

But you already knew that.

I bought the boat today

at the auction.

Which boat?

-I made an offer and now its mine.

That's what I've been trying

to say the entire evening.

My own house is free and clear, so I

borrowed against it to buy the boat.

Anne can stay here as long as

she wants because I own the boat.

Prick.

llse...

Not because of that wine?

It looks worse than it is.

You're such an a**hole. I want you

to get rid of the pied--terre.

I bought it for her.

You must be running a fever, too?

-For Anne.

Anne doesn't want the boat anymore.

She doesn't want it anymore?

Cheer up man. Otherwise, in 30 years

you'd still be living in Diemen.

It's very nice,

Bert's pied--terre...

It's overlooking a park.

As long as we're together, Mom.

Yes, I have an invoice here

which I can't make out.

A company called Harderman

for 274 euro 80.

A new wine merchant?

Yes, well, no.

You know how I feel about it...

...but I'll see if I can

deduct a part of it, as PR.

Next week.

Two tickets. Yes, fine.

See you then. Bye.

Hey, did you sleep well?

I've got you, baby girl.

Come to daddy.

Paula van der Oest

Paula van der Oest (born 1965) is a Dutch film director and screenwriter. Her 2001 film Zus & Zo was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. With her final exam at the Dutch Film and Television Academy, Zinderend, she won a Cannon Award in 1988. In the following years, she worked as an assistant director, until she returned in 1994 as a director. For the VPRO-series Lolamoviola she made the short movies Coma and Achilles en het zebrapad (Achilles and the Zebracrossing). With the first, she won a Golden Calf for the best television drama. In 1996 Van der Oest made her first long movie, De nieuwe moeder (The New Mother). Her husband at the time, Theu Boermans, had a role in this movie (later, he would also have a role in Zus & Zo). De trip van Teetje (the journey of Teetje) was produced in 1998, with Cees Geel as a louche entrepreneur who buys a Russian cargo ship. With Zus & Zo, loosely based on Chekhov's The Three Sisters, Van der Oest directed her first mainstream film in 2001. The realistic characters and the relations among the individuals from her former movies remained central, but there was more humour added, and an English script doctor made some changes, resulting in an Oscar nomination. However, the general public left the movie unseen. Hereafter she created the English thriller/fairytale Moonlight (2002) about the relation between a 13-year-old girl and a balloon swallower of the same age; the film Madame Jeannette, situated in the Suriname-community (which was a great success in the Amsterdam Bijlmer area in 2004); and the film Verborgen gebreken (2004), based on a book by Renate Dorrestein. Moonlight was entered into the 25th Moscow International Film Festival.In 2001, she wrote the screenplay for Meral Uslu's telefilm Roos and Rana. Currently, Paula van der Oest is planning a second film about Suriname and she is working on a movie based on Heleen van Royen's De gelukkige huisvrouw (The Happy Homemaker). more…
