Here's a nice warm blanket.

- Thanks.

- Here we go.

- There.

- That's nice.

Come here.

He will keep you warm.

There you go.

- Are you comfortable?

- Oh, yes.

I must have slept

for a couple of hours.

Can I borrow your phone?

I need to call Elis.

He's out at dinner.

Sure. I'll bring you the lamp.

Here it is...

- Here you are.

- Thanks.

- Do you want to be alone?

- No.

Hi, darling.

Sorry to call you so late.

You're eating already?

Should I call you back? No?

I fell asleep.

No, not at all.

I'm fine.

I was out for a walk

and ran into Andreas.

No, I'm alone now.

Everything's fine.

Take care for now.

Are you coming on Thursday?

I'll meet you at the airport.

Think of me.

Bye.

Was it silly of me

to say I was lonely?

No.

He would kill me

if he knew I was here.

I must look terrible.

Can I borrow a comb and mirror?

They're in the bedroom.

- So dark.

- Yes.

Let me turn on the lights.

Elis is not jealous.

Or is he?

He's going to Milan.

He should be grateful.

He's successful.

Forever and ever. Amen.

It's hard to realize one day

that you're meaningless.

Nobody needs you,

while there you are,

wanting to give of yourself.

I suppose it's my own fault,

but it's paralyzing.

I want to accomplish so much

and make plans.

When I talk to Elis, he says,

"Don't do that, do this."

And nothing happens.

I shouldn't blame Elis.

Everything goes wrong for me.

And Elis, he...

I shouldn't blame him.

Hello?

- Hi, this is Elis.

- Hi.

I've tried to call home,

but nobody answered.

She's usually awake.

I'm worried.

Can you check

if everything's okay?

Please tell Eva I was worried.

She doesn't need to call me.

Call me back

and let me know how she is.

I was pregnant once.

I couldn't sleep at all.

They put me in the hospital

so I could sleep.

By mistake, they gave me

too strong of an injection.

I didn't fall asleep,

and the child died.

Elis stayed with me,

and we cried together.

Elis cried, too.

It never happened before

and hasn't since.

I never had any more children.

It's better that way.

Do you have to go?

Have you noticed

how ugly I am?

Look at me, Andreas.

Have you ever slept

with a more boring lover?

Tell me I'm wrong!

You're wrong.

You've been so kind to me.

I'll miss you.

We'll meet again soon.

Don't be afraid.

I don't want to miss the ferry.

Will you call me?

Or you can write.

I'll do my best.

When are you coming back?

In two weeks for Easter

with Anna and Elis.

- Please come alone.

- I don't think so.

- Just for a few days.

- I'll try.

Look here...

Come here.

- Look after him.

- Should I?

Yes. You can have him.

Then you'll sleep better.

It was obvious there was
