Morning.
Good morning, darling.
Get up! Evi!
Morning.
Wear your read sweater!
Are you ready for school?
- Your brother's coming tonight.
- I know.
Wanna help with the shopping?
I'll pick you up.
Will you bring me back something?
- What?
- Something good.
Dear father and mother
forgive us, Georg and I,
for taking so long to write,
but so much has happened
since mom passed away
that we haven't found
the time to do it before now.
My brother Alexander was so upset,
that we didn't know what to do.
He fell into a deep depression.
Some days, he didn't even
get out of bed.
He finally had to be put
into the hospital
where he underwent painful treatment.
It was horrible.
I had to manage the store by myself,
handle the will,
and take care of the house,
of the family and of my brother,
all at the same time.
more or less calmed down.
Alexander has recovered well enough
that I finally have the luxury to write you.
Throughout all this,
Georg was really wonderful
even though he was also
going through a difficult period.
He was transfered to another department
where he's been told
he has much better chances
for advancement.
Unfortunately, he has a new boss,
an incompetent
who's a few years away
from retirement
but thinks he knows everything
and, fearing
makes the job very difficult.
But you know your son:
This can only spur him on
and he's focusing all his time
and energies
to do the best job possible
and to prove that he's the best.
He actually got enough of a raise
that with my inheritance from Mom,
our financial situation is really excellent.
What more can I tell you?
Yes,
Eva had been worrying us,
but she suddenly seems
to be in perfect health.
Since our visit last winter,
she hasn't had an asthma attack
and the doctor's very pleased.
She sends big hugs to both of you.
I guess I only have good news to tell you
and to our Evi's, I add
my own hugs and kisses.
Your daughter-in-law Anna.
p.s.
Georg sends you his warmest regards
and begs your forgiveness
for not having the time
to write himself.
She's inside.
Go to your classrooms.
Let me through.
Well.
Now tell me
what's the matter.
Come on, be reasonable
and tell me.
She can't see anymore.
Is this true?
Is this true?
Yes.
Since when?
When did she stop seeing?
Just now. In the bathroom.
Is this true?
Try to open your eyes.
Come on, open your eyes!
I'm asking you to open your eyes!
How can I see what the problem is?
Very well, Eva.
If you won't open your eyes,
we'll go away and
leave you here all by yourself.
Come!
Miss!
Yes?
I can't see.
Now look at me.
Can you see me?
- And that?
- No.
What?
What "what"?
- What can't you see?
- Well, your...
No one guessed
just how near-sighted she was.
She hid it incredibly well.
Thank you.
To think she was my friend.
Straigten up, please.
You can imagine, at that age:
Ugly, her face full of pimples
and obsessed with
the idea
of becoming my best friend.
It's not as if I didn't have
other things on my mind at the time.
Believe me.
Look up, please.
Well,
anyway,
one day, she showed up
with huge, thick glasses.
They were grotesque.
Look straight ahead, please.
She really looked like a frog.
I mean,
she was rather pitiful
but you know how kids are.
"How do you like
your best friend's glasses?"
"Horrible," I told her.
She gave me this look
a look I'll never forget.
- And in her German accent...
- Look down.
...full of hate, she said:
