Berlin Syndrome

I mean, all this ddr sh*t,

all these dreams...

It's all... invalid.

But the people were brave.

Mm. Some were brave,

some just got on with it.

I mean, you can suffocate

anywhere. You don't need a wall.

How do you say suffocate

in German?

Uh...

Ersticken.

Sticken?

No. No. Erwurgen. No.

Erwurgen is...

To choke.

Yeah.

Did a boy give you that?

She said if I ever got

Who has made a start on it?

Hm?

Franka?

Erm...

What the f***?

Andi.

Couldn't find the key.
