But it isn't that far at all!

Just follow the coast!

- We're going to Berlin and that's it!

Get in!

We'll go to Gdansk or nowhere at all!

- Your parents will be waiting for you.

To hell with them!

It's their fault we missed his ship!

Get in!

What if he sails from Gdansk

to Vladivostok?

I've got no address.

I can hardly look for him in China.

Give me your mobile again.

What, to Gdansk?

- Gdansk?

That's out of the question!

Mrs. Graumann,

Gdansk is out of the question.

It would be better for the child,

if we went.

It's freezing!

Do you think he'll be pleased about me?

Sure! A pighead like you?

What more could he want?

I couldn't put up with a daughter

like you, but a Russian like him...

Come on,

we have to move on.

Some music, eh?

Here, Kattaka, look!

Knacke, leave it, we're going.

Why didn't you ever tell us

you were born in Poland?

There's nothing to tell.

Olsztyn...

was part of Germany in those days.

Doesn't sound very German, Olsztyn.

In German it's called Allenstein.

Olsztyn, Allenstein.

Some Polish or Russian areas

used to be German.

Some Russian areas

used to be Polish.

Were your parents Polish?

No.

At some time

everything used to be something else.

What's this key you've got here?

- Put it back at once.

Put it back!

- Look out!

Knacke, we're almost there.

You need some kind of special permit.

Come on, we'll try again tomorrow.

I'm sure we'll get in without it!

I've been driving for so long,

I'm done in!

Kattaka, come on, I'm hungry!

Come on.

We'll find us something to eat

and a place to spend the night.

See what's on that truck?

So?

- Maybe it's from Germany.

"Stolen today, in Poland tomorrow!"

- Really?

My old man says

they nick everything with an exhaust.

Kevin, we're going in there. Period!

I thought you were hungry.

Sometimes all they want are the tyres.

So what if we're left without tyres,

Mrs. Graumann? What will you do then?

Then we'll have to go on foot.

Here you are.

Come on, Kattaka.

I don't think you'll find him here.

Please,

we'd like something to eat.

- Just a moment.

Waldek?

Hello, group, good evening. Welcome

to "The Bat". What may I bring you?

The Poles' have left!

Your exhaust still there?

Who is this guy?

We'd like a beer, two cokes

and something to eat...

- Pirogi is a local specialty.

With cottage cheese, sauerkraut,

mushrooms or meat?

What kind of meat?

- Pork, beef or bat.

What? You eat them?

It was a joke. We'll all have the bat.

Ah, toilet.

Don't you feel well?

I can't eat this right now.

Now get out your mobile

and call your parents.

Tell them we've arrived.

- I won't talk to them.

Get a grip on yourself!

This is not just about you!

Get out your mobile and call them!

There!

Do you think I'm enjoying any of this?

Battery's dead.

Switch it back on.

- Forgot the PIN code.

May I? Berlin...

Yes, Mr. Wiese, everything's fine.

I'll hand you over to your daughter.

Kattaka, your father.

Don't know him.

Katharina!

Hello and goodbye.

My bed!

What are you doing here in Gdansk?

With your gran?

Mrs. Graumann isn't our gran.

Kattaka's looking for...

- What's your name?

Waldek.

Why's your German so good?

I spend every holiday

in Germany.

My parents own a cargo boat.

It travels from Gdansk

via Duisburg, Nuremberg

and Passau to Vienna.

I'd rather go with them

then play waiter here.

I want to be a captain on

an ocean freighter.

So I go to the school of shipping here

and stay with my granddad.

Captain!

If there's anything you need,

I live in the attic. Good night.

Gdansk...

End of the war...

I was here as a little girl, yes.

Hello.

Come on in.

Is there anything you need?

- No, but... can I ask you something?

How can we get into the container port?

Into the container port?

It's not easy because of customs.

It's important.

I'm looking for someone.

Who?

A man.

- Want to get married?

Just joking.

What do you want with this man?

What do you do when you're at a loss?

I hang upside down like a bat.

It helps me think. Different perspective.

An idea will come.

How will he do that?

- You'll see. Hurry up!

Wouldn't it be better to wake her?

- No. We'll do it without her.

Come on.

You can come up now.

What did your cousin say?

Very funny. Now, tell us!

Welcome to my harbour tour.

What's "hello" in Polish?

Hello, Danuta.

I'm Kevin. Kevin Knackmann.

You're most welcome!

You're cousin's hot.

I think I'll become a postman!

This ship's from Panama. The next one's

from Russia. That must be the one.

Nobody's going to believe this!

Now what?

This is our chance.

We'll deliver the post, OK?

Sure! That's exactly what we'll do!

She'll drive on

and pick us up on her way back.

What's wrong?

Yesterday you couldn't wait for it.

What will I say to him?

For instance, that you swim 100 metres in

1 minute 12 seconds.

Wow, this is awesome!

Down the back to the right.

Nobody there.

The stuff he has!

Come on, let's go.

Who is this Russian anyway?

You don't know? I thought

you knew everything about each other.

Kattaka, look!

You can learn Russian with that.

I LOVE YOU. MARGARETE.

Now you have two brothers as well.

- Someone's coming!

He's her father?

What did you think?

Kattaka, wait!

Kattaka!

Where is she?

I have to go in.

There are two children in there.

I have to look for them.

Are you mad? Where is she?

You can't go out by yourselves,

what were you thinking?

You stay here.

Why did you run away, dear?

Shall we go there again together?

To his ship?

Shall I tell him?

- If you do, I'll jump into the water.

When I saw him I just wanted to bolt.

Let's go home.

That'd be best.

I don't know

where that is anymore, home.

Neither do I.

What about your parents?

My parents...

died a long time ago.

I wish mine were dead, too.

No.

She didn't speak to him.

No, it's...

It's all a bit complicated.

No, she doesn't want

to speak to you, either.

Maybe you should've

told her the truth ages ago!

She's...

sad.

Yes, of course.

See you tomorrow, Mrs. Wiese.

Was only the contact.

Pleasure.

Thank you.

Siwy.

That's my real name.

Lene Siwy.

Daughter of Maria and Karl Siwy.

From near Allenstein.

Allenstein?

Olsztyn?

Olsztyn, yes.

Me...

I come from Lvov.

Have you ever been back?

No.

No...

There's no point.

Tomorrow we're heading back to Berlin.

HOME:

So where is Olsztyn?

Olsztyn?

I'll show you.

Thank your granddad again from us.

- I will.

Get a move on!

Or we won't be back before midnight.

Alright! Man!

I went to the "toaleta".

Katharina? Come on.

What's wrong?

I don't want to go back to Berlin!

Give that to me!

Give it to me and get in!

We're going to Olsztyn.

I'm sorry I slapped you last night.

But let's go.

We're going to Olsztyn

no matter how scared you are!

You just don't want to go home.

- Neither do you.

Yes...

I am scared.

Waldek, do you get that?

I don't understand, where are we going?

Hello, group? I need information!

First we head for Ostroda.
