Jerichow Page #2

Synopsis: The dishonorably discharged Afghanistan veteran Thomas returns to his home village of Jerichow. Ali, a local Turkish-German businessman, owner of a snack-bar chain, hires him as a driver. That's when Thomas meets Laura, his Turkish boss's young and attractive wife. A classic love triangle is born, unfolding in desolate northeast Germany, where thick forests suddenly end on cliffs overlooking the Baltic Sea. Caught between guilt and freedom, between passion and reason, the protagonists have no hopes for fulfillment of their dreams.

Hello, where are you?

I'm picking up an extra delivery.

Which delivery?

From the beverage company.

Oh yes.

I fired Halid, he was cheating.

Mustafa gave me the tip,

he'll take overthe place.

Will you take care of

the termination papers tonight?

See you later, I love you.

Come on.

Come on, Thomas.

Laura, come on.

You dance like a Greek.

How'd you know,

how a f***ing Greek dances?

From Zorba-the-Greek.

A**holes.

Show me how the Germans dance.

Come.

Come on, Laura.

Come on German Thomas, dance.

Show me how the Germans dance.

Put your hand here.

Relaxed, not so stiff...

...and listen.

You can do it.

Keep dancing.

I'll be right back.

Do you have coffee?

One minute...

That's a damn long stretch.

Why didn't you take the car?

- Want me to lose my license too?

Thomas, you can help me out.

I have to leave on Thursday

for a few days.

I'll show you the ropes and

you take over while I'm gone.

Of course you'll earn more.

orange trees blossoming?

It's unbelievable.

Nice.

Nope. We have to order more.

Check the kitchens.

The health department pigs

Here are the numbers from last week.

Look at this guy, Chien Thng.

bit by bit.

He's giving it a try.
