Broken dreams
There are people who dream in black and white, without sound.
And when they wake up, they've forgotten everything.
It's different for me. My dreams are multicolored, and full of mysterious images and similes.
What's wrong?
Nothing!
I've always taken my dreams seriously.
For me they're messages that always make sense.
What is THIS dream trying to tell me?
Maybe you should look at this in a more relaxed way. And give Christian some more time.
I mean, Lilly has only been gone for a couple of days, and everyone deals differently with their grief.
If he would at least talk to me about it, ...
... but every time the topic ‘children' comes up, we start arguing.
I just don't understand Olli anymore!
Why can't everything be like it was before, without Lilly?
We were happy then too.
Even without a child.
Olli, have you ever thought about why you're longing for a child so much?
What's the point of that? You'd never ask a woman that question!
Well, that depends. - On what?
Whether I had the impression that she was trying to fill some void.
The time with Lilly probably changed everything for him.
Most of all, he's changed.
Oh!
Are you aware of what you're getting yourself into?
A quarreling married couple, and a construction worker who turns everything into chaos?
You can still back out! - I'm moving in today!
Regarding Olli ...
I'm sure that no couple would've made it through this situation without a crisis.
I'm off then.
Oh, by the way, my sister Henriette sends this for Christian and you.
You voluntarily drove to Meppen to see Mom?
Olli, you know that we get along well since your wedding.
Besides, I felt like going back to good old Meppen.
Have a good day, hm? - Thank you. You too.
Attention! Be careful!
Helena?!
I thought you were in Paris with Andi.
He ... went without me?
Ah! I thought you knew.
I'm sorry, I gotta go now! Do you still want to come inside?
No, thanks.
How much longer do you plan to drag me through the Arctic?
We'll be there in a moment, you wuss!
Christian, I'm about to not take one more step! Now, hang on!
And? What do you say?
Is it possible we've been here before? - Yes!
Three years ago, almost to the day.
Oh yes, I remember! Our camping trip with Gregor, Sarah and that ...
Coco! - with the ... yeah!
I remember, it was freezing cold. Just like today.
We were wearing thick jackets ... ... sitting at the campfire.
That night was the first time we really talked to each other.
Without yelling or insulting one another. - Mhm!
Until then I always thought "What a primitive, stupid ***!" - Yeah, thank you!
Loving a man was unthinkable to me back then.
The best time of my life started on that night.
For me too.
Thanks.
For what?
For the journey into the past. - Oh!
Everything's going so fast. Sometimes you forget where you came from.
Or where you wanted to go.
Olli, I ... I just want to be together with you!
Just the two of us. No children.
Yes, everything could be so easy. We could live how and where we wanted to!
We could pack our bags and, as far as I'm concerned, go to New York for two years, or travel across Australia!
Maybe I don't want to be that free anymore.
That's exactly why we're here. I ...
I wanted to remind you of how it was before Lilly. We were happy then too!
Christian, don't you want to leave a part of us behind?
Something that lasts?! That we can pass on?!
The legacy of Olli and Christian, or what?!
You said yourself that we can't act as if the little one had never existed.
I can't go back.
I want to take a step forward!
But what for, Olli? What do you need a child for?
Charlie asked me the same question.
I want to enrich my life! I want to be there for someone!
If need be, I'll do the ‘happy family' thing. There's nothing wrong with it.
But I'm tired of having to justify myself all the time.
That's the way it is. I'm sorry.
