Yes, very satisfied.

What do they give you?

Last Sunday I had some

nice bouillon and roast...

...some potatoes. All very nice.

What else did you have?

Oh, yes, best of all: cucumber salad!

How's bouillon made?

Bouillon? From meat and bones.

But not pork!

From what else, Fritz?

I know what you're getting at, Inspector.

You mean human bones!

There's no such thing.

There isn't?

How many commandments are there?

- Ten.

- Name one.

Honor your father and mother. Stop!

Did you honor your

father and mother?

My mother, yes, always.

- But not my father.

- Why not?

He always wanted to

send me to Hildesheim!

What did your father do?

He used to be a truck driver.

Then he quit and married my mother.

She had a little cigar factory.

She employed ten people!

Even as a little boy I had to work.

That's why I couldn't stand him!

And he always yelled at me,

"You scaredy-pants!"

I couldn't help shitting my pants.

I didn't want to!

One commandment says:

"Thou shalt not steal. "

- What does "steal" mean?

- To swipe stuff.

- I never did that.

- Weren't you punished a lot?

No. The others stole the stuff

and brought it to me. Then I bought it.

- Is that allowed?

- Yes,

if you want to stay alive.

What do you call

"buying stolen goods?"

- It's called "receiving?"

- Is that punishable?

- That's what I said! The landlady...

- Is receiving punishable by law?

You shouldn't do it.

And why shouldn't you do it?

- Well, they swiped the stuff.

- Why isn't swiping stuff allowed?

- Most people do it.

- I don't.

No. But most of the people

I know from the station do.

My brother Willy... He doesn't steal.

He's awful honest!

- You've been begging a lot, right?

- Yes.

Is begging allowed?

They gave me 3 months.

- Why is begging punished?

- Why?

God. I never did it again afterwards.

- A policeman said, "Come with me!"

- You could've worked.

Nobody wanted me! I showed them

my military papers at the factory.

It says:
In-va-lid! They said,

"We don't want people like that!"

I went round the shops

and said I was a disabled veteran.

That I wanted to buy things but couldn't

pay much. And I got suits and shoes.

Sometimes for free!

Later I sold the stuff with Hans.

Are you allowed to use

a married man's wife?

What's that?

Are you allowed to

use a married man's wife?

No, I never did that!

- But Hans did, with Dorchen.

- What do you call that?

It's not allowed. It's... whoring.

What's the deed called when a

woman does it?

I didn't do anything else.

- Isn't it adultery?

- Yes. That's what they say.

Is it allowed?

People can do it if they want. I don't.

Did you have intercourse with women?

Romuald Karmakar

Romuald Karmakar (born February 15, 1965) is a French film director, screenwriter and producer. He was born in Wiesbaden, Germany as the son of a Bengali father and a French mother. From 1977 to 1982 he lived in Athens. He has won several national and international awards, including the German National Film Award in Gold in 1996 for Der Totmacher (Deathmaker). His work has been honored with several retrospectives at festivals and cinematheques.

A member of Akademie der Künste, Berlin (the Academy of the Arts, Berlin), Karmakar is internationally regarded for his honest representation of the less attractive aspects of society by focusing on those perpetrators responsible for these downfalls. Karmakar is currently a Fellow at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University (2012–13). He has been invited as one of the four artists (together with Ai Weiwei, Santu Mofokeng and Dayanita Singh) to represent Germany at the German Pavilion at the Art Venice Biennale in 2013. more…
