If you don't enjoy life, my dear,

it becomes mournful.

Good evening.

You look gorgeous.

In Brazil we say that

men who sleep with whores...

are the most faithful

to their wives.

She is ready for you.

You just cares

about luxury and wealth

Everything you see you want

Oh my God

How I miss Amelia

That's what you can call a woman

Amelia had no vanity at all

Amelia was a true woman

Amelia had no vanity at all

Amelia was a true woman

Amelia had no vanity at all

Amelia was a true woman

Stefan?

Who is this?

Leave us alone!

Well, Herr Zweig, this is me here.

- I go up there.

- Yes...

- You will be okay on your own?

- Fine, my boy. Fine.

You're really too kind

and generous to me.

Don't worry.

My dear, sweet young man, forgive me.

I... I didn't..

Good night.

Welcome home, Stefan.

Petropolis,

perhaps our home forever.

It's not Salzburg nor London...

but we are alive.

Frederica...

Frederica...

"So many storms,

such destruction at sea...

and within each wave

seen death's own eyes. "

"So many storms,

such destruction at sea...

and within each wave

seen death's own eyes.

All the wars on land,

such hypocrisy...

this disgusting,

compulsive enterprise!

Is there a refuge for human frailty?

Some safe port for our

ephemeral lives...

where serene skies unleash

no well-armed squall...

to rage against creatures...

that are so small?"

Good morning,

Frau Lotte, Herr Zweig.

- Sorry for being late.

- It doesn't matter, Lourdes.

Thank you.

"No further resistance possible.

The whole British Empire hears

news with deepest mourning. "

Excuse me.

What a disaster!

Singapore is now in the hand

of the Japanese.

The whole world is at war...

a war we are surely losing.

And I have to go and

see that Pontes fellow!

I don't know what

you're worrying about.

He seemed a nice man to me.

Why on earth does he want

to see me this morning of all days?

He knows I have

tonight's lecture to prepare.

Please, try to stop

fussing all the time.

Perhaps Pontes wants

to discuss the visas.

Besides, don't forget:

we are just guests

here in this country.

Herr Zweig.

Pleased to meet you.

Take a seat, please.

Santos Dumont

is a grand Brazilian.

He solved the mystery of flight

before the Wright brothers.

Brazilians, you see, not Americans...

were the first humans to fly.

So you say, yes...

Herr Zweig, I'm sure...

you didn't know everything

about Erasmus, Fouch...

Americo Vespucci,

Marie Antoinette...

Kleist, and yet you researched...

and look what wonderful

biographies you produced!

I was interested

in such characters.

Let me explain something

to you, Herr Zweig.

Just for your own good,

you understand.
