Berlin Syndrome

What is that terrorist

group? What do you call that?

Uh... Hamas.

Hamas. That's right.

Throwing what missiles

and rockets into- poof!

Would you like to come over?

Uh, yeah, sure.

I'll grab you a chair.

Thanks.

Oh, thanks.

There you go.

Oh, cheers, hm.

Are you south African?

Erm, no, I'm from Brisbane.

Brisbane?

Brisbane.

Where the f*** is that?

It's in Australia.

Oh, okay.

Here, watch this,

right. Watch my eyes, yeah?

Are you ready? I can do some

very freaky, crazy sh*t...

With my eyes, just watch this.

Okay.

Wow.

That was close! Come on.

You're not getting that? No?

Well, I...

So, er, where are you?

Come on...

It actually means that

you have a lack of calcium.

No, it means I've been

drinking too much beer.

That's what it means.

You want some?

Yeah.

Take care. See you.

Yeah.

Adieu. See you later.

Bye.

Bye.

Is there a lid for this?

Or should I just...

Okay, okay...

Thank you.

Danke.

- Tschuss.

- Tschuss.

No, no, no. That's okay.

Do you mind?

Thank you.

Help yourself.

My father grows them in

a schrebergarten.

In, uh, cardboard boxes?

No, these are from the store.

Do you like strawberries?

Um...

They help you

forget your problems.

What makes you think

i have problems?

People who travel alone...

Are usually in search

of something, aren't they?

What makes you think

that I'm alone?

I see nobody.

Do you always

practice your English...

Chatting up foreigners?

What? No. No.

I work in a sport school.

What sort of sports?

I mean, I'm an English

teacher, that's why.

And you? What are you

photographing?

Buildings, mostly.

I, er, I really like the

gdr architecture.

I wanna do a book.

We say ddr, deutsche

demokratische republik.

Yeah. No, I know.

Yeah.

And, it was nice to meet you.

There's strawberry on my hand.

Andi.

Clare.

Nice to meet you.

What did you...

You said this was, er,

from a schreber...

Schreber. I don't know

the English word for it.

Erm, these are small gardens.

All together and

all with German flags...

And those, er, small men

from snow white.

Dwarfs.

Yeah, dwarfs.

Who lives

in these houses?

No one. Actually,

it's forbidden.

They just come on weekends.

It's my mum.

She's kind of obsessed.

Does she know you're here?

Yeah.

My mother used to

bring me here as a boy.

I always come here to

complicate life.

What?

Erm, I think you mean to,

er, you'd say "contemplate. "

Oh, yeah, right.

How do you say

"complicate" in German?

Verkomplizieren.

This one is nice, huh?

Yeah, I like it.

Oh!

F***! Oh, my gosh.

Sorry.

Yeah, he likes you.

Hi. Hi!

Oh, my god.

So, why did you

come to Berlin?

Er, I was working for

a real estate company...

Taking photos and, erm...

You know, those life

experiences...

That people talk about

all the time?

I wanted to do that, so, I...

I booked a ticket and put my

stuff in storage...

And came here.

Pretty predictable.

I don't know.

Maybe brave.

A wolf.

There's a bar upstairs,

erm, if you wanted to...

Come- actually, it's more like

a... kinda crappy rooftop.

I'm afraid I have to

meet someone.

Otherwise, I...

Yeah.

Yeah, I have to...

I've got stuff I have to do.

I gotta pack. I'm going

dresden tomorrow.

Dresden?

Yeah.

Why dresden?

Okay.

Tschuss, Clare.

It's nice to meet you.

Hello?

Hi. Can you open?

That one's my favorite.

She's holding her hands

like that...

To hide her deformed finger.

I thought you wanted to leave.

So, if you have a question,

you Google it.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm... I'm definitely

partial toward Google.

Are you not?

You photograph disappointment.
