Aloys Page #2

Synopsis: Aloys Adorn is a middle aged private detective who lives and works with his father. He experiences life from a safe distance, through a video camera he keeps recording 24 hours a day, and the massive collection of surveillance tapes he organizes and obsessively watches at home. But when his father dies, Aloys is left on his own and his sheltered existence begins to fall apart. After a night of heavy drinking, Aloys wakes up on a public bus to find that his camera and precious observation tapes have been stolen. Soon after, a mysterious woman calls to blackmail him. She offers to return the tapes if Aloys will try an obscure Japanese invention called 'telephone walking' with her, using his imagination as their only connection. As he is drawn deeper and deeper, falling in love with the voice on the other end of the phone, the woman opens up a new universe that may allow Aloys to break out of his isolation and into the real world.

Hello?

Mr Adorn?

This is the caretaker.

There's a parcel

for you down here.

I'll bring it up for a beer.

Should I bring it up or not?

Over.

No, we thank you.

Over.

ADORN & CLONE

Mrs Schoch speaking.

I wanted to thank you

for the tapes.

The divorce has gone through.

I hope your boss is feeling better.

Goodbye, Mr Adorn.

We have the sheep

and are coming down.

She stole it from the children's zoo.

See you later.

You've got something

in your hair.

Harald was an honest employer

who stayed true to himself

and his employees until the end of his life.

May he rest in peace, amen.

First new message.

Hello, it's me again.

I wanted to apologise

for the phone terror.

I just wanted to talk a bit.

Take care of your cat.

It helps against melancholia.

Bye.

If you ask me,

I think we came too late.

A bottle of booze and

seven grams of tranquillisers.

She worked at the zoo.

They usually use this stuff

to put down gorillas and cats.

What will happen

to the iguana?

I'll probably have to deal with it.

Do you have a vacuum cleaner?

Cat?

Yum-yum.

Eat, eat!

Munch...

Excuse me...

Mr Adorn, what's the matter?

I just wanted to ask

what's going to happen to the iguana.

The one from the lady

from flat 146.

It's downstairs, in the basement.

The Salvation Army

doesn't want it.

Could you hold this?

Nobody got in touch.

No relatives, nothing.

Why are you asking?

Do you want to feed it?

You'd be welcome to do that.

You'd be doing me

a huge favour.

I'll bring it up in a minute,

including the feeding and watering plan...

No, you got the wrong end of the stick.

Please leave a message

after the tone.

If anyone's listening,

this is Adorn, flat 149.

I just wanted to inform you

that the reptile is in our care...

...for one or two days.

You don't even have the imagination

to picture a fir cone.

Moss.

It smells of moss, doesn't it?

The more you relax,

the easier it gets to stay inside.

Why don't you throw yourself

under a train.

Please leave a message after...

THANKS FOR WATERING

AND FEEDING.

"Thanks for watering

and feeding. "

YOU'RE ALIVE?

WHERE ARE YOU?

AT THE MORGUE,

WAITING FOR COFFIN.

"At the morgue, waiting for coffin. "

Behind the big spruce

is where I stand.

This phone- walking thing

was just a bad joke.

- Look for someone else.

- But I wanted to say...

I'm sorry.

The cat is feeling...

...better.

Can you feel him kicking?

He wants to get out.

It must be a bit lonely in there.

I'm getting cold, darling.

Can we go to your place, please?

I'd rather not, Kathrin.

We always meet outside.

Do you have something to hide?

What do you mean, "hide"?

You never take me to your place.

What do you mean, "hide"?
