I'm sorry, if I woke you up.
- Where is Larsen? - I don't know any Larsen.
- First day. - So you're quite clumsy.
- My brother was also crazy about them. - How old is he??
I remember that he had such a really cool old Russian one.
That one up there is also Russian
- Av! - Just a second.
- Hello again. - Hello.
- Do you think your brother is in heaven? - Excuse me?
Wasn't he dead?
That's a long time ago now
people say, i will go to heaven.
- Who says that? - Everyone. The doctors.
And my mom and dad. Mostly my mother.
They say i'll fall into a deep sleep, like when the bears go into hibernation
I really don't want to sleep so long.
No. It also sounds like a long nap.
I think the sky looks as a boring place.
Well, i don't know about that
There are at least plenty of space
It may look at little lonely
- Is Alfred acting nice? - Certainly.
- Say goodbye. - Bye.
- Good evening. - Hello.
Have you ever heard about Helium?
- What is inside hot air balloons? - Yes.
- Where do you think it comes from? - I don't know.
Helium is its own world.
Magical and adventurous, so you can't believe your eyes
- Everything feels light and floating. - I don't know that
Its strange.
You wake up in Helium after the long rest
They say that you will be flown up there by the Helium Express.
What kind of Ekspress?
It reminds a lot about the great airship there. They are almost identical.
- What about the cabin? - Cabin?
- Yes. Is it red? - Yes. Exactly.
With a lion's head in front and wings down the side?
That is exactly how I remember it.
- Is that it? - Right on the dot.
I knew there was a place other than heaven. What else is there in Helium?
I have to work again.
- Tomorrow? - Do you promise?
- Yes, of course. Bye. - Bye.
And there we have Enzo.
- What is the dog's name? - Red ... of course.
That is the secret code to the airship captain -
- so he knows which children that are going to Helium.
'm right here. If there are something you call just, right?
Where is Helium?
Helium ...
Helium is located just on the other side the clouds there.
That is where the sick children are brought in order to regain strength.
Helium air is different for than the one here on earth.
It is much cleaner and lighter.
So you feel fit and healthy.
Almost floating.
Helium inhabitants live in houses held up -
- by balloons and airships.
There is in fact an old wooden house waiting for you, Alfred.
There is the greenest lawn -
- and you can play football throughout the day.
When the sun goes down -
- you climb up the chimney with your favorite things -
- and no one can disturb you.
Tired?
- Yes, a little. - Can i have a cup of coffee?
Thank you ... oops, hey.
Thanks.
I am certainly not the born cleaning lady.
I think you are a much better poet.
Alfred has come in a really good mood, after he met you.
Isn't there anything you can do?
The first two months he was swinging all the time over there.
- Where is he? - He's been moved.
Why?
His condition has worsened. We had to move him.
- Can i see him?? - You can't.
He lies in a locked ward. It is only for family.
- We are not done with the story. - I know.
You will have to accept hospital policy on privacy.
Yeah...
I gotta go, cya.
- What can I help you with? - I just need to pick up some buckets.
It's fine. I just need to see some ID.
That card dosen't work our department.
Ohh, bye
Hello Alfred.
How does the Express know where I am -
- when Red is punctured?
We can just make a new balloon dog.
It won't be the same.
This is just a balloon.
The most important thing is that you have in there and up there.
Nobody, can take it from you. It's yours.
I will make a new dog.
- He must be here somewhere. - I'll take a look.
We'd better be a little quiet.
I'm afraid. I do not want to go to Helium.
I wanna stay here with you and mom and dad.
Alfred, Haven't I told you who is waiting in the old wooden house?
- Who? - All those who are not here anymore.
- My grandma and grandpa? - Yes, of course.
What about your brother? Is he there? Then we could play together.
Yes. He's certainly there.
Close your eyes, Alfred.
Then I'll tell you about the magical nights in Helium.
You won't believe your own eyes.
Do you understand ... in Helium the air consists by crystal particles -
- which at night is lits up in all sorts of colors.
I've told you that you can't just go running around.
- He must have a new dog. - Okay.
- I'll make sure he gets a new dog. - It's important.
I understand that.
How can you live with a job like this?
Because i can't help it. It's just how it is with you.
Listen. You helped him more than you know.
- You have. - Im just filling him with lies.
No, you give him hope.
Get some sleep.
I need to see him for just 5 minutes.
I can't. I might lose my job for it.
I have to tell him the ending.
Then write it down.
Write the ending, and i will read it for him.
Hello.
Where is Enzo? I don't know how I get on board of the Express.
Now Red is in his place again.
You have to tell me, what will happen, when the Express is coming.
Just tell me, how i get on board.
The fog is tight now in the town
You can only see a few meters ahead.
There is a creeching behind the fog.
Suddenly the front of the Express bursts out.
