Requiem (2006) Movie Script
Please.
Papa, it's coming!
what?
It's the certification of university.
I can go to the Tubingen State on 4th.
- We have to wait.
- Why? The certificate is right here.
Well, Michaela, You know why.
yeah, I've been short of one year study.
now I will go to the university.
we might need to slow down.
maybe you can experience it for one day.
what?
be rational, we've discussed it for many times.
how you deal with...your things?
Mama, those drugs are not useless.
and I've quit it for half a year.
what the doc said?
- Marianne, watch out your tone.
- what the doc said?
- the doc said, it'll relapse
- well
so if you were in Tubingen...
we should have to cancel the dorm?
- what dorm?
- that's it, I think...
if she went to the university,
she had to find somewhere to live.
- you helped her rent a dorm?
- Mama, don't be, I am 21 years old.
- hello
- my name is Kramer
- Michaela Klingler
- nice to meet you, your room is downstair
please.
here it is.
look, it's your new home.
- so large a place!
- Mhm.
and so quiet.
and, there are more than 100 girls here.
in this wonderful night,
they all went out.
say hello for me, okay?
well, I have to go now.
oh, papa!
it's nothing.
as a freshman, you need a typewriter
be careful by yourself.
thanks, papa, for all you've done.
good morning!
maybe you can stand there for a while.
social pedagogy is related to the value's spread.
should find this value on yourselves at first.
otherwise, how could you spread it to others?
do you believe in pedagogy,
the effection of examples?
- me?
- yes, you.
- Ah, I don't know.
- so what you believe in?
I believe in God.
you think it's funny?
please allow me to ask, what's your belief?
yeah, you see, and that's the problem.
Hanna?
we were in one class during high school
I'm Michaela
- what are you doing here?
- what am I doing here?
- Pedagogy is easy to get score.
- this is my major.
- where do you live?
- the dormitory in the south quarter.
- me too.
- that's nice.
it's great, right?
Pedagogy is easy to get score, right?
where have you been?
when I was in 11 grade, you were still in the Parallel class.
- And then, disappeared.
- I left study for a year.
why?
- Hi.
- Hi.
- I'm not taking my swimsuit.
- so what? me neither.

Man, you think I'm cheating you?

- Amen.
- Amen.
take it out again.
- I want this too.
- here is the place to play music.
the first week is wonderful.
we got a test.
I think I'm pretty good.
- And I met Hanna
- Oh, She's a student too?
- father...
- it's not because of Hanna.
That's why you came late.
so we shouldn't...
bring you to Tubingen.
I wanna go there.
- can't you have a dinner quietly?
- obviously not
foreknowable saint...
the Virgin Mary, we are calling you.
wisdoms sit up there...
the Virgin Mary, we are calling you.
Mother of God, we are calling you.

And tall, got some branches.

when you were in the church?
- only Holy will know that.
- did she answer you?
Mhm. you should listen carefully.
when you pay attention, you will feel her.
still not mention?
thanks.

I pray to the God for you.
hope that he could watch you.
that's so good, thank you.
I won't make you disappointed....
I don't wanna hear it! - let's talk.
- stop it!
look, a necklace of roses garland.
Michaela! Michaela!
what...are you doing here?
Papa!
- don't know...there just now...
- what?
- I heard some noise at first, then there...
- sit up.
it's fine that I wake up first, not your Mama.
otherwise it'll be worse now.
come on, let's get upside.
while others are still sleeping.
I feel pain.
- So, I will cut.
- you sure?
worse than ever.
won't be worse, right?
but it's hard to say, right?
hello, one person.
have fun.
hello.
beer, soda, cola?
- you wanna beers?
- thank you!
I...I think soda is ok, thank you.
- all right, cheers!
- cheers!
- how long have you been in Tubingen?
- this is my first semester.
- what's your major?
- I wanna be a teacher.
how about you? - chemic.
- is it cool?
so so, my father got a company
making food ingredient
I'll inherit it.
- I need go to bar there get some bread.
- ok.

sorry.
I wanna dance now.

oh, my godness.
Michaela? Michaela!
shit, get up!
Michaela. Hey.
hey, come on.
come right here.
- here.
- thanks.
how could you say nothing?
Epilepsy.
because of this you quit study for a year?
- I'm painful, Hanna.
- Have you seen doctors?
oh, forget it, you know
how many docs I've been checked?
at last
none of them know how to heal me.
the final diagnose result.
they tried some ways
then, they gave you some pills
and then...
have new side effect.
must use new ones to control it.
maybe you should accept this reality.
you are sick, Michaela!
your life is in danger!
no excuse to keep it in closet.
- but i feel so ashamed.
- but you'd have told me first.
swear to me, you won't let others know.
if my parents find out, I will faint.
that's over.
if you want me to keep this secret.
all right, you promise me to see the doc.
Michaela?
why you are here?
unbelievable.
you have time?
mint?
no speaking?
you must think I'm crazy, but I don't know
who else can understand me.
if you need my understanding,
you should talk.
in St. Carlo...
I...woke up at night.
then...I couldn't catch that necklace.
I tried hard to get it, but there always
some strength pulled me backward, just like...
...I was not myself.
then, it happened again.
this morning.
appeared with ghosts' faces and sounds, screams
I was shiting on them.
you don't know what I have experienced!
they came out all of a sudden,
then spread everywhere... I...
wanna close my eyes or, hide somewhere,
but it's no use.
- they kept yelling.
- what they yelled out?
that you shit on them?
or you can't get the necklace?
- please don't.
- you bring it here?
- it's a souvenir of a store.
- why won't you believe me?
you hear what you are talking about?
ghost face, sounds.
what are you talking about?
devils?
we sure believe there are devils on earth.
but we believe in God too.
it's just a metaphor,
we should keep to them.
but you can't keep to each word.
- but, Father...
- ah, so terrible.
illusion! you should talk to your psychologist.
you are so angry, because you are afraid too.
you know I won't lie to you.
and I can't imagin all of this.
you just begin your study,
birds just fly out of the nest.
what's wrong with you?
watch out your own way!
how this way looks like?
where it'll lead me to?
I thought you could help me.
many things happened recently.
I don't know...
you need more time?
I feel special during the first weeks
when I left home.
I understand.
Stefan.
- promise, you'll be with me.
- sure.
kiss me.
- you wanna write it down?
- don't be. - don't.
clinch, you can try with Stefan.
- do we need to study?
- today is almost passed.
I won't pursue those.
- I'll read about one more semester.
- how could you know you can do this?
from logic, I could.
this one, you don't need to read.
but you might learn something in highscool.
it's Holy Katharina.
- she's only 33.
- so what?
Hanna, when she was as old as you,
have done many good things
I think, it's not because she is a sister.
she came from a poor place with her illed body
but she stopped a war,
- when she was 33.
- oh, here it writes, she wrote the god's decision.
she fought against devils...
...and released the life when she died.
bla, bla, bla.
You don't want to understand me, do you?
I have missed for a year.
Hanna, the time, that you possess of
is a gift.
all right, it's the time for next date.
you need come to have x ray next Tuesday.
feel cold?
please close your eyes.
Michaela! we are in the town.
I wonder if we could meet
ah, so coincident.
I'm thinking of the story you told me.
I told it to the Father Borchert.
he is the parochial assistant Father.
how are you?
- your not believing me hurts me so much.
- I just wanna help you,
When I said you should see doctor.
so, satisfied?
dated with doc three times, enough?
you also wanna tell me that
I'm a psycho?
I think, everyone should have a soulmate.
- Father Landauer wouldn't make people
feel like that.
- I'm familar with your parish
yes, I remember
you are a good missionary
once I should give a cow a peace.
so, you did it?
it's Gerhards' job.
kind of simple belief.
in hard time, God is like an insurance company.
- good havest, means this company is good.
- yes, people would think of that.
I ask myself.
does it mean God's exist if there's a good havest?
or someone is illed?
people must distinguish which are real pains
which are mess in mind, and superstition.
what I suffered are all real.
so did the necklace.
I don't know, if the new pills would work.
sometimes I got this feeling.
we try to use science to explain the nature.
these things don't need explaination.
if someone is really painful
what science should do?
don't we pray for the God to help us?
yes, I'm not understand of this.
I can only say...
- What I felt, What I experienced.
- yes, why, I wanna listen?
how about things happen to you, Michaela?
because it maybe so crazy for my illness.
the world make our souls sick.
I almost doubt about it.
you know, I don't wanna ask more.
I wanna stay her, have my life.
but sometimes,
I feel I can't stop, then...
my belief gave me so much power.
you also have you belief.
this belief is more powerful than the dark things
- but I'm scraed
- hands of God are strong enough,
to protect us.
while praying, he's by our sides. - right.
let's pray?
Holy Spirit,
come into my heart.
short our distance with your power.
give me the kindness
and fearness of God.
Christ, protect me from hurt
warm me with your love.
make me get rid of the burden.
help me fullfill all my tasks.
beloved Christ,
beloved Christ,
Amen.
so someone insane, is just like this.
stop it.
these are your pills, so small?
they said, each pill everyday
no paroxysm for a year.
"Grandmaux Epilepsie"
sounds like french cheese,right?
shut up
I think what you wrote is hard to recognise.
well, I think it's good, so great!
- all right, if you think it's ok,
it's enough to the teacher.
- that's right.
and one title, called: grasp the fate.
- I'm applying the internship in Hamburg.
- how it's going?
- They hire me!
- no way! - it's true.
in a kindergarten, leading them to travel.
setting out after Christmas.
- what? so fast.
- ah, only four weeks, it's short.
besides you got yours to be with you.
where is he?
ha, maybe he still his mother's babe.
- oh, do I enter the wrong door?
- no, you don't...
- oh, why are you here?
- you've been so long not contacting to me.
- celebrating what?
- oh, Michaela is tutoring my works.
- Hanna.
- yes
- Hello
- I know your father.
- I'm leaving, bye.
- bye, Hanna, see you later.

maybe grew a little taller.
I didn't tell your mama I came here.
now she must be disburdened
There, came at the beginning of the week.
you use my medicare...
God, Michaela, it said...
but it's not suprising, no matter what,
I need a doctor too in Tubingen.
but it's not the same thing.
it's worse than that.
it said...
...you should visit a psychiatrist,
to heal your pyschological illness.
please don't be like that.
- you got pyschological problem?
- no, not yet.
Michaela, please understand me.
you stayed in hospital for years
because of Epilepsy
- what else could I think?
- so, what do you think of?
I saw, you turned better, but...
do you remember, you have said,
when you go to see the doc, you will lost.
- we're all in the hands of God, Papa.
- yes, my child.
it's nice that you are here.
Merry Christmas.

- Have you ever thought what I want?
- be rational!

Christ was born...
with a little flower.
Michaela!

merciful goddess....
Michaela!
- papa!
- Michaela!
my God!
child!
- get the pills!
- I can not pray anymore.
I can not pray anymore.
- hello.
- Michaela!
- really sorry. bother you
just one day after Christmas.
- come on in.
it's so quiet here.
just like the chapel last night
- but I pray for you.
- seemed useless.
what I did is not important.
I did wrong.
I try my best ... to pray.
I try my best to be a good student.
but they always exceeded me.
I almost broke my mother's necklace.
little by little I understand the pain that
Holy Katharina metioned is like
in the hell...
Holy Katharina, yeah, she must
experienced many tests.
but as far as died, she connected to the God
closely.
because of the pain she endured
maks her to be the one God selected.
may be god forgot me,
I mean nothing to him.
he burden the cross for us.
he burden the pain and sacrifice for each.
you are no exception.
but now, the devil is powerful.
I try hard, to conquer it.
but why me?
I did nothing.
I go to the university.
wanna my life in perfect order.
- but God send the devil to me!
- that's because you are special.
you are sensitive to this crazy world.
let's pray.
last time you did well.
no, I don't wanna pray!
praying is no use.
when I wanna pray, you came.
I've experienced this.
why God can't bring me luck?
Am I punished?
God doesn't punish
he is trying out those of his favorites
Michaela.
you knew it.
I can only think it as a God's test
otherwise we will be desperate.
you can only sit in this unenlightened
devious place, spread yourself.
then complain
that God is so far away from us.
this world is falling
if your praying is useful.
why you just sit and complain?
why you do nothing about this?!
bye.
you at least let me know
who is this?
why you bring us here
the first day of new year?
- stop, papa.
- what else you ask for us?
- can we let you go back to school?
- I forgot to take the pill.
I won't do this.
I have no power.
do you know,
how hard to fully support you?
you mama sank me into the hell.
she is angry everytime.
she knew what God did to you.
drive.
please.
- bye, my darling.
- bye - you take care of yourself - ok
- bye
- bye
oh,my God.

stores are all closed.
Hallelujah
I'm so happy, it's all passed away.
take the train tomorrow morning.
8 hours late, I will be in Hamburg.
I should have forgotten these stuff.
can you put off to go?
you also said, I should grasp my fate.
I can't tell myself
what's hell the life means.
I hear some voice, Hanna.
What?
you can't imagine.
I can't control anymore.
I have a feeling.
everything got in my hands will disappear.
take away my last energy.
- Michaela, what are you talking about?
- you can't go now.
I don't know what'll happen next.
I'm so scared.
you shouldn't drink so much.
Michaela, maybe you should
visit your psychologist.
Michaela, wait!
God, you can't leave me along
with those crap.
I need go to Hamburg!
I believ what you said, but you must
believe me...
don't say that. go to Hamburg
with your theory as a psychologist.
how you are coming! so suprised!
I miss you.
- you drunk.
- don't bother.
come on.
come on.
I have to go.
let's stay for a while,
we could drive out.
when new semester starts,
we both have no time.
I have to write my thesis,
it's a very important test.

we'd better start from beginning.
"improve the education of orphanage
with direct vivid ways.
End home careness, comma.

- that I could finish my school.
- it's just beginning.
you know what? if you were just as what you're
what you should do in high grade?
maybe the burden is to much
just like what you'd said.
tell me, what's happening?
I can't.
I go back.
- Michaela
- ah...
- Michaela, we have talked.
- yes.
we have different opinion and attitude.
maybe we should chat in your room
it's better.
why? we could talk here.
I don't know, something happened.
looks so formal.
I think we should pray together.
the most important
we saw you better day after day.
- yes, I return good.
- even you don't want, we should pray too.
what, are you the Father?
"we don't need pray"!
why your attitude is changing?
it's Tubingen
- it's not yourparish.
- all right, stop!
- here, I'm making my thesis, should hang on.
- watch out your behavior.
I passed the test.
I look for shelter for you.
don't make me disappointed.
help me with your power.
-listen to me...
- be calm down, quiet!
you should let me finish the thesis
you all leave here.
she won't pray.
Karl, what did he say?
- sorry I don't wanna scare her.
- give her some peace!
don't use your theory drive her crazy!
we should've done something to help her.
this girl needs our help.
- not the psychologist to help
- you control yourself, don't be possessed.
you know what's this called?
exorcise?
how many proofs you need?
- bishop got my resolution.
- what?
Michaela, Father Borchert said...
ok, ok, it's all over here.

like this.
- let doc check her, that's right.

psycho problem.

don't make her worry. - ok.
Michaela.
you won't leave me along.
- the devils will leave, won't they?
- yes.
if it doesn't work
we go to pilgrimage, to where
Holy Katharina lived.
think of her.
she has endured this huge pain.
but the devils never stop.
Katharina, it's only the expiation.
she endured the pain for the greater
target.
- a Martyr
- yes, but you shouldn't think of that.
- I will come 5 mins later.
- I said, she is sleep.
if you won't let me in,
I will ask all the people in town coming out.
let her in.
Father said, now she is in danger.
sometimes she cursed.
means she is possessed.
Michaela.
if lucky enough, she will wake up
Father come at 4:30.
Michaela.
how did you come?
how things going on in Tubingen?
you're not there, no fun.
what time is it?
if Father would come?
I just wanna go with you.
only two of us.
we breathe some fresh air ok?
what's the matter?
where are you going?
we jus hang around.
drive the car.
not so long.
- you have been here?
- never, it's so beautiful.
look, the fields look like table cloth.
- ok?
- yeah.
I always came here
you don't like me to bring you out?
Tubingen. us.
whatever.
you are insane.
- what will it be in the future?
- until it leave us.
ah, no, it won't leave you along.
because it's never leave your body.
your body only has yourself, yourself.
if they wanna exorcise for you
when will it finish?
- bring me back.
- no.
it;s all have reasons of these things.
I suffer this pain for some better things.
- just like Holy Katharina, you remember?
- what this means?
Michaela, wath out what you said?
it's not like your words.
it's the tasks of God, I have no choice.
I must follow my way, can you bring me home?
Papa, it's coming!
what?
It's the certification of university.
I can go to the Tubingen State on 4th.
- We have to wait.
- Why? The certificate is right here.
Well, Michaela, You know why.
yeah, I've been short of one year study.
now I will go to the university.
we might need to slow down.
maybe you can experience it for one day.
what?
be rational, we've discussed it for many times.
how you deal with...your things?
Mama, those drugs are not useless.
and I've quit it for half a year.
what the doc said?
- Marianne, watch out your tone.
- what the doc said?
- the doc said, it'll relapse
- well
so if you were in Tubingen...
we should have to cancel the dorm?
- what dorm?
- that's it, I think...
if she went to the university,
she had to find somewhere to live.
- you helped her rent a dorm?
- Mama, don't be, I am 21 years old.
- hello
- my name is Kramer
- Michaela Klingler
- nice to meet you, your room is downstair
please.
here it is.
look, it's your new home.
- so large a place!
- Mhm.
and so quiet.
and, there are more than 100 girls here.
in this wonderful night,
they all went out.
say hello for me, okay?
well, I have to go now.
oh, papa!
it's nothing.
as a freshman, you need a typewriter
be careful by yourself.
thanks, papa, for all you've done.
good morning!
maybe you can stand there for a while.
social pedagogy is related to the value's spread.
should find this value on yourselves at first.
otherwise, how could you spread it to others?
do you believe in pedagogy,
the effection of examples?
- me?
- yes, you.
- Ah, I don't know.
- so what you believe in?
I believe in God.
you think it's funny?
please allow me to ask, what's your belief?
yeah, you see, and that's the problem.
Hanna?
we were in one class during high school
I'm Michaela
- what are you doing here?
- what am I doing here?
- Pedagogy is easy to get score.
- this is my major.
- where do you live?
- the dormitory in the south quarter.
- me too.
- that's nice.
it's great, right?
Pedagogy is easy to get score, right?
where have you been?
when I was in 11 grade, you were still in the Parallel class.
- And then, disappeared.
- I left study for a year.
why?
- Hi.
- Hi.
- I'm not taking my swimsuit.
- so what? me neither.

Man, you think I'm cheating you?
come on!
now it's time for your shower!
- Amen.
- Amen.
take it out again.
- I want this too.
- here is the place to play music.
the first week is wonderful.
we got a test.
I think I'm pretty good.
- And I met Hanna
- Oh, She's a student too?
- father...
- it's not because of Hanna.
That's why you came late.
so we shouldn't...
bring you to Tubingen.
I wanna go there.
- can't you have a dinner quietly?
- obviously not
foreknowable saint...
the Virgin Mary, we are calling you.
wisdoms sit up there...
the Virgin Mary, we are calling you.
Mother of God, we are calling you.
look, the trees are totally different.
so green.
And tall, got some branches.
it's great that
you can come to have pilgrimage.

- no, no!
upside, you wanna go in?
you can pray now.
- some one stole things, look here.

Luigan... Luigina.
Giuseppe.
lilttle angels and roses.

- only Holy will know that.
- did she answer you?
Mhm. you should listen carefully.
when you pay attention, you will feel her.
still not mention?
thanks.
here.
I pray to the God for you.
hope that he could watch you.
that's so good, thank you.
I won't make you disappointed....
I don't wanna hear it! - let's talk.
- stop it!
look, a necklace of roses garland.
Michaela! Michaela!
what...are you doing here?
Papa!
- don't know...there just now...
- what?
- I heard some noise at first, then there...
- sit up.
it's fine that I wake up first, not your Mama.
otherwise it'll be worse now.
come on, let's get upside.
while others are still sleeping.
I feel pain.
- So, I will cut.
- you sure?
worse than ever.
won't be worse, right?
but it's hard to say, right?
hello, one person.

- you wanna beers?
- thank you!
I...I think soda is ok, thank you.
- all right, cheers!

oh, my godness.
Michaela? Michaela!
shit, get up!
Michaela. Hey.
hey, come on.
come right here.
- here.
- thanks.
how could you say nothing?
Epilepsy.
because of this you quit study for a year?
- I'm painful, Hanna.
- Have you seen doctors?
oh, forget it, you know
how many docs I've been checked?
at last
none of them know how to heal me.
the final diagnose result.
they tried some ways
then, they gave you some pills
and then...
have new side effect.
must use new ones to control it.
maybe you should accept this reality.
you are sick, Michaela!
your life is in danger!
no excuse to keep it in closet.
- but i feel so ashamed.
- but you'd have told me first.
swear to me, you won't let others know.
if my parents find out, I will faint.
that's over.
if you want me to keep this secret.
all right, you promise me to see the doc.
Michaela?
why you are here?
unbelievable.
you have time?
mint?
no speaking?
you must think I'm crazy, but I don't know
who else can understand me.
if you need my understanding,
you should talk.
in St. Carlo...
I...woke up at night.
then...I couldn't catch that necklace.
I tried hard to get it, but there always
some strength pulled me backward, just like...
...I was not myself.
then, it happened again.
this morning.
appeared with ghosts' faces and sounds, screams
I was shiting on them.
you don't know what I have experienced!
they came out all of a sudden,
then spread everywhere... I...
wanna close my eyes or, hide somewhere,
but it's no use.
- they kept yelling.
- what they yelled out?
that you shit on them?
or you can't get the necklace?
- please don't.
- you bring it here?
- it's a souvenir of a store.
- why won't you believe me?
you hear what you are talking about?
ghost face, sounds.
what are you talking about?
devils?
we sure believe there are devils on earth.
but we believe in God too.
it's just a metaphor,
we should keep to them.
but you can't keep to each word.
- but, Father...
- ah, so terrible.
illusion! you should talk to your psychologist.
you are so angry, because you are afraid too.
you know I won't lie to you.
and I can't imagin all of this.
you just begin your study,
birds just fly out of the nest.
what's wrong with you?
watch out your own way!
how this way looks like?
where it'll lead me to?
I thought you could help me.
many things happened recently.
I don't know...
you need more time?
I feel special during the first weeks
when I left home.
I understand.
Stefan.
- promise, you'll be with me.
- sure.
kiss me.
- you wanna write it down?
- don't be. - don't.
clinch, you can try with Stefan.
- do we need to study?
- today is almost passed.
I won't pursue those.
- I'll read about one more semester.
- how could you know you can do this?
from logic, I could.
this one, you don't need to read.
but you might learn something in highscool.
it's Holy Katharina.
- she's only 33.
- so what?
Hanna, when she was as old as you,
have done many good things
I think, it's not because she is a sister.
she came from a poor place with her illed body
but she stopped a war,
- when she was 33.
- oh, here it writes, she wrote the god's decision.
she fought against devils...
...and released the life when she died.
bla, bla, bla.
You don't want to understand me, do you?
I have missed for a year.
Hanna, the time, that you possess of
is a gift.
all right, it's the time for next date.
you need come to have x ray next Tuesday.
feel cold?
please close your eyes.
Michaela! we are in the town.
I wonder if we could meet
ah, so coincident.
I'm thinking of the story you told me.
I told it to the Father Borchert.
he is the parochial assistant Father.
how are you?
- your not believing me hurts me so much.
- I just wanna help you,
When I said you should see doctor.
so, satisfied?
dated with doc three times, enough?
you also wanna tell me that
I'm a psycho?
I think, everyone should have a soulmate.
- Father Landauer wouldn't make people
feel like that.
- I'm familar with your parish
yes, I remember
you are a good missionary
once I should give a cow a peace.
so, you did it?
it's Gerhards' job.
kind of simple belief.
in hard time, God is like an insurance company.
- good havest, means this company is good.
- yes, people would think of that.
I ask myself.
does it mean God's exist if there's a good havest?
or someone is illed?
people must distinguish which are real pains
which are mess in mind, and superstition.
what I suffered are all real.
so did the necklace.
I don't know, if the new pills would work.
sometimes I got this feeling.
we try to use science to explain the nature.
these things don't need explaination.
if someone is really painful
what science should do?
don't we pray for the God to help us?
yes, I'm not understand of this.
I can only say...
- What I felt, What I experienced.
- yes, why, I wanna listen?
how about things happen to you, Michaela?
because it maybe so crazy for my illness.
the world make our souls sick.
I almost doubt about it.
you know, I don't wanna ask more.
I wanna stay her, have my life.
but sometimes,
I feel I can't stop, then...
my belief gave me so much power.
you also have you belief.
this belief is more powerful than the dark things
- but I'm scraed
- hands of God are strong enough,
to protect us.
while praying, he's by our sides. - right.
let's pray?
Holy Spirit,
come into my heart.
short our distance with your power.
give me the kindness
and fearness of God.
Christ, protect me from hurt
warm me with your love.
make me get rid of the burden.
help me fullfill all my tasks.
beloved Christ,
beloved Christ,
Amen.
so someone insane, is just like this.
stop it.
these are your pills, so small?
they said, each pill everyday
no paroxysm for a year.
"Grandmaux Epilepsie"
sounds like french cheese,right?
shut up
I think what you wrote is hard to recognise.
well, I think it's good, so great!
- all right, if you think it's ok,
it's enough to the teacher.
- that's right.
and one title, called: grasp the fate.
- I'm applying the internship in Hamburg.
- how it's going?
- They hire me!
- no way! - it's true.
in a kindergarten, leading them to travel.
setting out after Christmas.
- what? so fast.
- ah, only four weeks, it's short.
besides you got yours to be with you.
where is he?
ha, maybe he still his mother's babe.
- oh, do I enter the wrong door?
- no, you don't...
- oh, why are you here?
- you've been so long not contacting to me.
- celebrating what?
- oh, Michaela is tutoring my works.
- Hanna.
- yes
- Hello
- I know your father.
- I'm leaving, bye.
- bye, Hanna, see you later.
come on in.
you lost weight.
maybe grew a little taller.
I didn't tell your mama I came here.
now she must be disburdened
There, came at the beginning of the week.
you use my medicare...
God, Michaela, it said...
but it's not suprising, no matter what,
I need a doctor too in Tubingen.
but it's not the same thing.
it's worse than that.
it said...
...you should visit a psychiatrist,
to heal your pyschological illness.
please don't be like that.
- you got pyschological problem?
- no, not yet.
Michaela, please understand me.
you stayed in hospital for years
because of Epilepsy
- what else could I think?
- so, what do you think of?
I saw, you turned better, but...
do you remember, you have said,
when you go to see the doc, you will lost.
- we're all in the hands of God, Papa.
- yes, my child.
it's nice that you are here.
Merry Christmas.
ah, moreover
for the student who wanna be teachers.

- I've done nothing, release me!
- it's silent night, stop quarreling.
- I wanna know where my stuff is.
- what stuff? Are you still normal?
put them where they should be.
- why you are doing this?
- get your clothes on.
- in the garbage can!
- you are a thief. you'd better remember it.
- do I have anything to do with it?
- don't be like an orphen stroll around.
are you all crazy?
let's go!
- Have you ever thought what I want?
- be rational!
how long we left?
(anthem) a rose.
growing from the earth.
just like us singing.
Christ was born...
with a little flower.
Michaela!
let me...
no...
let me go!
merciful goddess....
Michaela!
- papa!
- Michaela!
my God!
child!
- get the pills!
- I can not pray anymore.
I can not pray anymore.
- hello.
- Michaela!
- really sorry. bother you
just one day after Christmas.
- come on in.
it's so quiet here.
just like the chapel last night
- but I pray for you.
- seemed useless.
what I did is not important.
I did wrong.
I try my best ... to pray.
I try my best to be a good student.
but they always exceeded me.
I almost broke my mother's necklace.
little by little I understand the pain that
Holy Katharina metioned is like
in the hell...
Holy Katharina, yeah, she must
experienced many tests.
but as far as died, she connected to the God
closely.
because of the pain she endured
maks her to be the one God selected.
may be god forgot me,
I mean nothing to him.
he burden the cross for us.
he burden the pain and sacrifice for each.
you are no exception.
but now, the devil is powerful.
I try hard, to conquer it.
but why me?
I did nothing.
I go to the university.
wanna my life in perfect order.
- but God send the devil to me!
- that's because you are special.
you are sensitive to this crazy world.
let's pray.
last time you did well.
no, I don't wanna pray!
praying is no use.
when I wanna pray, you came.
I've experienced this.
why God can't bring me luck?
Am I punished?
God doesn't punish
he is trying out those of his favorites
Michaela.
you knew it.
I can only think it as a God's test
otherwise we will be desperate.
you can only sit in this unenlightened
devious place, spread yourself.
then complain
that God is so far away from us.
this world is falling
if your praying is useful.
why you just sit and complain?
why you do nothing about this?!
bye.
you at least let me know
who is this?
why you bring us here
the first day of new year?
- stop, papa.
- what else you ask for us?
- can we let you go back to school?
- I forgot to take the pill.
I won't do this.
I have no power.
do you know,
how hard to fully support you?
you mama sank me into the hell.
she is angry everytime.
she knew what God did to you.
drive.
please.
- bye, my darling.
- bye - you take care of yourself - ok
- bye
- bye
oh,my God.
Hanna?
Hanna

- ah, nonsense.
furthermore, it's Christmas
stores are all closed.
Hallelujah
I'm so happy, it's all passed away.
take the train tomorrow morning.
8 hours late, I will be in Hamburg.
I should have forgotten these stuff.
can you put off to go?
you also said, I should grasp my fate.
I can't tell myself
what's hell the life means.
I hear some voice, Hanna.
What?
you can't imagine.
I can't control anymore.
I have a feeling.
everything got in my hands will disappear.
take away my last energy.
- Michaela, what are you talking about?
- you can't go now.
I don't know what'll happen next.
I'm so scared.
you shouldn't drink so much.
Michaela, maybe you should
visit your psychologist.
Michaela, wait!
God, you can't leave me along
with those crap.
I need go to Hamburg!
I believ what you said, but you must
believe me...
don't say that. go to Hamburg
with your theory as a psychologist.
how you are coming! so suprised!
I miss you.
- you drunk.
- don't bother.
come on.
come on.
I have to go.
let's stay for a while,
we could drive out.
when new semester starts,
we both have no time.
I have to write my thesis,
it's a very important test.

so how about new year's eve?
- I don't know.

we'd better start from beginning.
"improve the education of orphanage
with direct vivid ways.
End home careness, comma.
marriage, motherhood comma,
help comma.
must need..."
show me.
was I wrong?
nothing wrong, you did all great
who can get the high score?
if I knew early, I chose education too.

but the thesis is finished. it's a symbol.
- that I could finish my school.
- it's just beginning.
you know what? if you were just as what you're
what you should do in high grade?
maybe the burden is to much
just like what you'd said.
tell me, what's happening?
I can't.
I go back.
- Michaela
- ah...
- Michaela, we have talked.
- yes.
we have different opinion and attitude.
maybe we should chat in your room
it's better.
why? we could talk here.
I don't know, something happened.
looks so formal.
I think we should pray together.
the most important
we saw you better day after day.
- yes, I return good.
- even you don't want, we should pray too.
what, are you the Father?
"we don't need pray"!
why your attitude is changing?
it's Tubingen
- it's not yourparish.
- all right, stop!
- here, I'm making my thesis, should hang on.
- watch out your behavior.
I passed the test.
I look for shelter for you.
don't make me disappointed.
help me with your power.
-listen to me...
- be calm down, quiet!
you should let me finish the thesis
you all leave here.
she won't pray.
Karl, what did he say?
- sorry I don't wanna scare her.
- give her some peace!
don't use your theory drive her crazy!
we should've done something to help her.
this girl needs our help.
- not the psychologist to help
- you control yourself, don't be possessed.
you know what's this called?
exorcise?
how many proofs you need?
- bishop got my resolution.
