Unter Wasser atmen - Das zweite Leben des Dr. Nils Jent

Synopsis: The documentary 'Breathing Underwater' tells the inspiring story of Dr. Nils Jent. At the age of eighteen, he had a devastating motorcycle accident. No heartbeat for eight minutes and two months in a coma left him blind and with heavy disabilities. But thanks to his unbreakable will and the unconditional support and love of his parents, he has slowly recovered his independency. After years in hospitals and rehabilitation centers, he managed not only to graduate from high school and university but also to gain a PhD in business administration. Today, Nils lives in St.Gallen where he teaches and explores, how people with disabilities can be integrated in organizations in an economically beneficial way. But despite his professional success life is still a struggle. Being blind and hardly able to move and speak is not that easy after all.

Guard.

- Kogler ready.

Be back at the detention

center by 6 p.m.

Kogler, don't forget your timesheet.

Morning. Ticket please.

Who?

- Kogler.

I see.

If we say your shift

starts at 7, that means

you come in early enough

to be able to start your shift at 7.

You should be used to getting up early.

Come on.

Shoe size?

9 1/2.

See if this fits.

Kogler?

'Yes?

Don't you have a watch?

Come on, come on, come on!

Do you have a CDL?

A what?

- A commercial driver's license?

No license at all.

You're kidding me.

What did the personnel office say?

I don't know, nothing.

Terrific.

I'm not the welfare office.

But you are 18?

- Yes.

At least you know that.

You have the 2 rental coffins?

- Yes.

And the wreaths for the cemetery?

5 of them.

- Good.

And Gunther, there's a can of ashes too.

Wikal? What's his name?

Wiskal Otto 5/3/1948.

What are you waiting for'?

Get in!

Other side.

I need 2 more for the 10 o'clock shift.

The weekend or the whole week?

- Whole week.

Who with?

If I say I need 2, it's any 2.

Who do you want'?

I don't care, just not the tall guy.

I can't write "don't

care" in the roster.

What about you, Rudi?

Yes, whatever.

Good boy.

The right corpse in the right case

at the right time and the right place.

And be on time tomorrow.

I wish I had your life.

- Be my guest.

Stand there, he won't bite.

It's not your first corpse, is it?

I told you, Gunther. You owe me a beer.

Ockermuller Bertram, check.

4/21/2000, check. 11/16, check.

Wait, he's a Christian.

Check.

I don't believe this.

What, it won't go in?

- No.

Let me try.

Get rid of the cart.

Where?

Where it was!

- To the left around the corner.

You're one of the real

tough ones, right?

We'll see how long your

trial month lasts.

Well, how was it?

OK I guess.

Your coworkers too'?

What do you have to do?

Do?

Do you do things right from the start...

I just have to watch for now.

Otherwise everything's OK?

Your hearing is scheduled for the 17th.

With Steidler as presiding judge again.

If you have any problems

with your job, say so

and we'll find something else.

You can't afford to blow this job too.

Hello!

It's your parole at stake, not mine.

The a**hole will turn me down again.

Then this time look at him

when he talks to you,

and answer his questions.

Why do you think they call it a hearing?

You can't not give a

sh*t your whole life

and then wonder why it sucks.

Hey, wait.

Roman, wait!

What are you doing?

Roman, get back in here right now!

Can you lend me 1 euro?

You've got a lot of nerve.

You should have thought of that before.

No, work it out with him.

I'm not your babysitter.

Yes, and your police

registration papers.

The district office.

No, where you live.

I don't know where it is in the

16th district. Look it up.

All right.

What?

But you like it

and you still have all your fingers?

You have to...

Cough.

Get dressed.

So how do you like handling corpses?

Come on, come on.

Faster, I want to go home.

I recommend breathing

through your mouth.

Good morning.

2 new ones for you. Anything going back?

Come here.

Now what?

What are you doing?

Lift him onto the cart.

Open the clasps.

Smooth move.

- Why?

Why?

Say something next time.

Like what?

Kogler is getting this one,

is that what you mean?

Screw you.

You try.

Pull him hard, he's not

coming out on his own.

Up on top, the last one.

Why are you even building out there?

- It's not that...

How did you choose undertaking?

Ad.

What did he say?

Through an ad in the newspaper.

At 18 I would have thought

of something better.

Better than what?

Next stop:
Wien Sudtirolerplatz.

She's not dressed yet.

Kogler Christine.

Clothes will be brought by relative.

Like I said.

- When was that?

What?

- When is it dated?

Last week.

Call them.

- What do you think I'm doing?

It's me, Schorn.

I am. What about you?

We've got a Kogler

Christine with no clothes.

The 15th, yes.

Kilo, Oscar, Golf, Lima, Echo, Romeo.

All right.

She stays here.

Never seen a naked lady before?

What's wrong?

Stitches?

Then sitting is no good.

Come on, stand up.

Stand up straight.

Breathe in through your nose

and out through your mouth.

In through your nose,

hold it, and out through your mouth.

Come on, in through your nose,

out through your mouth.

In.

Deeper, the air has to get

all the way down there.

In --

and out.

In --

and out.

In --

and out.

Gentlemen, it's 8 o'clock.

Good night.

Switch the TV off. Good night.

What's up?

- Important call.

It can wait till tomorrow.

Good night.

What's so funny'?

Breathe in through your nose

and out through your mouth.

Don't touch me.

What's your problem?

All right, Roman, wait here.

And you two, in your cells.

Move it!

Fakler?

- It's me, Kogler.

Where are you?

At the detention center, where else?

Is my mother's name Christine?

What?

- ls my mother's name Christine?

What brought her up?

- She's dead, isn't she?

Is she dead'? Yes or no?

Hello?

Why are you here so early?

You've got the 10 o'clock shift,

didn't anyone tell you?

All alone?

I need the number for Ms. Margie Kogler.

Rennbahnweg 14.

In Vienna?

- Yes.

Write it down or be connected?

What?

Would you like to write down

the number or shall I connect you?

Connect me please.

Anything else I can do for you?

No.

Thank you for calling 118811.

Have a nice day.

Kogler?

Hello ?

Change uniforms, we need

suits, home pickup.

Hello ?

Can you help me'? Please.

Who tied it for your trial, your lawyer?

Or were you too young

for a tie back then?

Where is Mr. Hefer?

Slipped disk.

It's always the same,

no one will admit it.

Look around.

Now they want us to work till we're 65.

Let's change the subject.

- You're right.

What can you do?

Maybe it's better than

a protracted death.

I always say...

Good morning.

- Good morning.

Right, left!

Down in back.

Don't fall asleep.

Spread out the sheet.

In there.

What are you waiting for'?

I'll be leaving now.

Her daughter-in-law should be here soon.

Are you squeamish?

Put out your hand.

What's wrong?

What is it?

Young, that's all you are.
