- OK.

- Cool.

Squeeze together a bit.

OK, and smile.

Super.

And now one with you.

I'm curious whether there's

anything worth seeing on it.

I'm just doing this

so I can have a little grope.

Grope away. You'll not get another woman

in your hands that quickly.

Show me.

My God, I look terrible.

You must delete that.

- What'll you give me if I do?

- Give you? You can have a schnapps.

I'll have one as well.

And what about you?

Yes, please.

- I think she likes you.

- Of course she does.

Here

Thanks. Bye-bye.

Have a safe journey home.

It was hard at first,

till I found the right place,

but I've had him at the Martin Buber School

for two years now.

It's an integrated school for slow learners.

It's perfect, because they really

take care of him all day long

and they've worked out a programme

just for him.

Is it a boarding school?

He sleeps there.

I pick him up at weekends.

Unless he has special classes,

then I drive up to see him.

- Are you also open in the summer?

- Yes, for hikers.

We close at Easter

and have a break till mid-May.

Problems?

No, no problems.

Everything OK?

I'll take these out.

OK?

Staying in Germany -

Over a thousand children

are reported missing every year.

Charities and aid groups

provide the parents with support

and help to search...

.. and in an almost unbearable situation.

Something as final as the death of a child

is hard to take

but it's preferable to this uncertainty.

And this uncertainty is often

the hardest thing to cope with...

I know very few people who are

missing someone and don't know where...

Please!

Stop that now!

Hello.

Hi, where have you been hiding?

- How did you get in?

- The garage was open. I tried shouting.

I was visiting, you know, across the way.

What's up? What are you looking at?

I was going to come over at lunchtime

but the blinds were down.

What were you up to, you bad boy?

- What do you want?

- Nothing, thanks.

I've done nothing but eat and drink all day.

You really keep this place spotless.

Super.

And what did you do for Christmas?

I was at my sister's. Like every year.

She has three kids.

I always go over in the morning

and we decorate the tree together.

Then I take the kids to a film or something

in the afternoon.

Then we open our presents at four.

Wait, I'll help you.

- Please don't.

- Shall I put it over there?

No one wants you here.

Sorry?

What was all that about?

What's wrong with you?

Can't you speak? What's got into you?

Are you crazy?

Are you shitting yourself because I'm here?

Do you think I want you?

No, of course not.

Want to play?

Look.

Excuse me. About this evening -

I won't be able to make it.
