There is something that surrounds us.

Something that is outside us,

but slips in now and then.

A warmth...

...a pleasant warmth that intoxicates,

but also confuses.

The shell of something that means harm.

At least that's what I think. I'm not sure.

That's a delusion...

...a hallucination, it's tiredness.

You work too hard.

I feel so guilty.

We have it so good.

We are fortunate.

And the fortunate must be punished.

- Marina darling, that is nonsense.

We were born in the West, and the West

happens to be affluent. We can't help it.

What are you doing?

What are you doing out of bed?

- I'm hungry.

We're also hungry.

Come along then.

Look! Ludwig and Pascal.

Why didn't you stop?

- Yes, why didn't you stop?

What are you doing? Why didn't you stop?

Are we out of favour or what?

- Tell him he's a d*ckhead.

You're a d*ckhead.

I'm not saying that, Ludwig says it.

Oh, and Brenda and llonka

do come in handy?

How often do I have to explain?

I'm going to hang up.

Why? Because you're drivelling

like an old woman.

Hey, Camiel.

No, it's Pascal.

I was asleep.

We'll sort it out.

Where's Mummy?

In the bath.

What a bugger of a day.

Stornebrink?

He's trying to squeeze me out,

the bastard.

Found a new gardener yet?

There are five applicants coming tomorrow.

What time?

From two o'clock on.

I'll take over from you.

Why?

The last gardener was your choice.

Now it's my turn.

As you wish, darling.

You'll hear from me.

Shall I go?

- No, I'll go.

Hello, sir.

I've come to apply for the gardener job

Do you have any training? Diplomas?

No, sir.

Then why do you apply'?

Pascal...

An applicant do you think?

Can't be.

F***...

Sir...

Hi, I'm here for the vacancy

of a gardener.

We've already got one.

What the hell is that?

Again no use?

- A black!

Yes?

Good afternoon.

I'm offering my services as a gardener.

Or maybe you have already found one?

No, no. Please, come in.

Come through.

Marina, my wife.

Camiel Bergman.

Quite a garden. That isn't child's play.

Needs some work done.

May I take a look around?

- Certainly.

There's a blue moped outside the front door.

It belongs to that gentleman.

That gentleman may be our new gardener.

Is our gardener dead?

- No, he has moved.

To Australia.

Please girl...

Go get some help.

Please.

It needs a lot of pruning.

Some plants and trees will never thrive here.

Mowing, aerating, fertilising...

Then we remove everything we get rid of.

How long is it going to take?

Three weeks.

- Can't you do it faster?

I could, but I'd have to sleep here

somewhere.

There's no need for anything special.

A mattress on the floor will do.

The summer house.
