The old witch.

Stefan?

You were always the teacher's pet,

as I remember it.

Say,

are you happy, you and Marc?

Yes.

And?

He still needs room to roam?

How come

you didn't tell Stefan about us?

Because it hurt.

There you are!

- There you are.

- You disappeared.

Anna and I

have something to show you.

Something

nice.

Anna and I

often used to come up here...

To admire the sunset.

Romantic.

It's a real shame

there's nothing left here.

There's our energy revolution.

Wasn't it here, Bernd?

Yes.

What was?

A friend of ours jumped...

Seriously?

And?

Dead.

When was this?

When we were in high school,

during the summer vacation.

The building was near-deserted,

he came up here and...

jumped off.

It's getting chilly.

I think we should go back.

Didn't they spend days

looking for him?

His whole body was covered

in layer after layer of ants.

He was invisible.

The ants around here were huge.

That big, right?

How did that happen, Anna?

What are you trying to say?

Can you just let it go?

You knew the guy well?

Who?

This friend of yours.

Not really.

He wasn't my friend.

Really? I thought he was.

Heiko was the biggest a**hole ever,

constantly teasing people,

over and over.

Then he started coming onto Bernd,

and suddenly being gay was trendy.

I just wanted to protect Bernd.

What?

Protect him? In what way?

In what way?

Bernd was my boyfriend, after all.

So, you knew Heiko pretty well.

Yes, I vaguely knew him.

Can we stop the cross-examination now?

What was it like

being gay in East Germany?

Openly gay, I mean.

Marc, that's enough.

We're going.

You don't have to answer, Anna.

What do you want from me?

You knew Heiko well enough

to out him.

To the whole village

and all his classmates.

And then...

- Don't listen.

- It's okay.

And you, Stefan?

Have you ever kissed a guy?

Hands off my boyfriend.

I've not done anything yet.

It's exposure therapy.

Let go of me!

I'm into women.

I mean, that woman.

Fidelity.

I must analyze it some day.

The passion for property is in it.

Doze off here

and you start having crackpot dreams.

That smells wonderful.

Sausage hotpot, right?

You feeling okay?

And you?

I know I insisted we come here.

I just wanted

to know you and your past better.

And?

You're definitely different here

than at home.

For good or bad?

How's that soup doing?

Almost ready.

What's the story with Heiko?

He had personal issues.

How about we set the table?

Sure, of course.

Is that him there?

"17-year-old found dead.

"People's Police

treating it as accidental. "

Why accidental?

In East Germany,

everybody was happy.

Nobody had a reason

to take their own life.
