You saw! No, you didn't see it.
It's really nice here. Shame you can't see it.
I smell it.
Did you bump into someone?
No, but I feel.
I hear.
Mind the step now.
LUDWIG HASN'T ICE-SKATED IN AGES
You get size 39, I get 40.
Thank you.
One size up. I have the smallest men feet ever.
I know lots of men with size 40.
Are you afraid now?
No, I'm worried.
Worried. About your joints.
About my joints.
I'm scared, too.
Luckily, I'm not wearing my flower socks.
What a pity.
Have you ever ice-skated?
The last time must have been 10 years ago.
10 years ago. How old are you?
24. But it's time I learned.
Coz I have a little girl.
Dad must be capable.
She's not that old yet. She's 17 months.
Oh, a little baby.
I want to do it, yes.
Crap. I'm really scared.
Crap.
I feel drunk, to be honest.
I'd say, ladies first.
No, no, no.
This is bad already.
Let's just glide.
Ludwig, I can't do it.
To the other side.
Pro!
Pro. Like I said.
You... skate like a pro
with your hands on your back.
Like the older men do.
It reminds me of my youth.
Of your youth, right. Romantic situations on ice.
Why Mathilde?
Why my daughter is called Mathilde?
Because it's a pretty name. But it's...
It's a bone of contention
between me and my wife, because we both claim
that we thought of the name.
She says it was her idea,
she thought of it and I say it was my idea.
Must be great to have a young dad.
I don't know. My dad was 38 when I was born.
We have a great relationship.
The great thing is we grow together.
That's true.
I discover a lot about myself
and I mature with her, extremely.
And your dad is a musician, I heard.
A rock musician.
He was a well-known rock singer in the East.
With the wall, his band fell, too. Like so many.
But they still tour.
Would I know their songs?
No, definitely not.
Really? What's their greatest hit?
Their best hit was 'Tritt ein in den Dom.'
Can you sing it?
No, I can't.
Don't you sing? Why not?
Let's not bother.
But you like making music?
Yes, I play the piano and the guitar.
Not perfectly, but it's OK for at home.
You can sing, you don't want to now...
I only sing at home or for a lot of money.
For a lot of money?
Not for your ice-skating partner then.
What a pity.
Step on it, Bonnie.
Step on it. Film my bum.
You have to help me.
What? You have to ask Bonnie.
eNtR Berlin.
I put that in.
E-N-T-R. And then Berlin.
The best online channel.
You have to help me. I need to get back there.
How long have you been an actor?
How did you start? Did you go to a school?
Or did you just go to castings?
LUDWIG HAS WON THESE ACTING AWARDS
I got into this through my mum.
When I was 13, she enrolled me...
at an agency for children.
I had numerous castings without success.
That was when you were 13?
So it all went quickly.
Well, at first it was rather difficult.
What did you want to do before that?
I wanted to be a pilot.
Pilot? Do you still want that? You like flying?
Yes, I'm still into flying.
But my job does a lot for me.
I get a lot out of it.
I'm done.
I just slid.
And now for some mulled wine.
You did great.
Yeah? You, too.
I'm sure you... I'm thrilled.
I thought I'd be better than you.
I thought you'd be even worse.
No, it was fun.
Yes, true. For me, too. Wicked.
How many films have you done?
What was your big success?
Guten Morgen, Herr Grothe.
Or Ihr könnt euch niemals sicher sein.
Do you do a lot of comedies? Or dramas?
I do a lot of dramas.
What do you play?
I play... I represent people
with behavioural problems,
who are critical of society.
GOOD MORNING, MR GROTHE
Will you stop?
Stop it!
Why did you write this?
What? I don't...
Why did Xenia's parents receive this?
Don't take the ***!
Why do you always think I'm to blame?
And every film is like that?
Most of them.
Oh no. It'll stay like that.
No, I'm fighting against that.
Good. That would be boring.
It's boring. But it's also exciting.
I like playing them. I like quiet heroes.
The most exciting thing is to get something
out of these characters.
Now we're pros and we have to go home.
Thank you very much.
Please tie them together.
OK.
Over your finger and pull through. Done.
Can I do it like this?
Yes.
You could tie a bow, too.
Bye.
My little bag.
I think that was it for the next few years.
Until my daughter is big enough.
But you have to train.
So you can say, look what Daddy can do.
