I don't care, anywhere.

Did you know there was so many

different kinds of bats?

Geez! Is she married

to a taxidermist?

No, an army officer.

You gotta be kidding!

He'll recognize us!

You really don't have

to be afraid, Flo.

Is it true

what the papers say?

Yes, but nobody recognized me.

With Werner it's different...

Why did you become

a beautician?

I didn't go right on to college

after I got my diploma.

So I took this course

and now I can work at home.

At home? Why?

Do you have children?

No, not yet.

And Mischa?

How old is she now?

this fall.

I can't wait to see her.

We should have kept

more in touch.

Ask her whether

she'll do it or not.

This place gives me

the creeps.

Do what?

Stop bothering us,

will you?

Can I use your toilet?

First door on your right.

Werner's a little

up tight.

There's a bat in there.

Can you take it down?

Get out of here!

I'm sorry, Chris.

I've thought of you

so often and...

It was so great

to see you again.

But now that

you're here...

If Heinz finds out...

When does he come home?

Only on weekends.

He lives in the barracks.

Then it's alright

if we stay here tonight?

Don't you want

to come along?

- No, I'm busy.

- As usual. So long.

From that day on

Lena Seidlhofer,

the bank clerk,

began looking for me.

Who did you want

to speak to?

- Christa Klages.

- She's not here.

She's gone to her mother's

and can't be reached.

She's going

to bring me a present.

Me too.

- A big present.

- A little one for me.

A big one for me.

Like something to eat?

No, thanks.

I ate at home.

How many people

live here?

- 10!

- 7.

No, it's 8. 5 grown-ups

and 3 children.

And you?

Do you live by yourself?

It's alright...

Everything's fine.

We just started

buying furniture.

We have to turn

over every penny.

How much did

this place cost?

- 300,000-

You'll be paying for life!

Heinz's job is for life.

You screamed in your sleep

last night.

I know. Sometimes I scream

so loud I wake myself up.

You're alone a lot,

aren't you?

Well, Heinz only

comes home on weekends.

And goes bat-hunting.

- But I've got my customers...

- Do you have any friends?

I haven't had a real friend

since you...

But I know a lot of people,

or at least I did

before we moved...

- But when we have children...

- Why haven't you had any?

Heinz wants to wait

till he's promoted.

- I think he's right.

- I don't.

Not if you want

to have children.

I gave this to Heinz

for his birthday.

It says

'Please fertilize.'

I want to see Frieda,

there's nobody to beat her.

Oh my little Frieda...

No girl is sweeter...

- Oh, sorry.

- Come on in!

How did you recognize Christa

with her blond hair?

Margarethe von Trotta

Margarethe von Trotta (born 21 February 1942) is a German film director who has been referred to as a "leading force" of the New German Cinema movement. Von Trotta's extensive body of work has won awards internationally. She was married to and collaborated with director Volker Schlöndorff. Although they made a successful team, von Trotta felt she was seen as secondary to Schlöndorff. Subsequently, she established a solo career for herself and became "Germany’s foremost female film director, who has offered the most sustained and successful female variant of Autorenkino in postwar German film history." Certain aspects of von Trotta’s work have been compared to Ingmar Bergman’s features from the 1960s and 1970s. She says that it was thanks to Bergman's films that she "‘fell in love’ with the medium and its possibilities for representing inner psychic worlds."Von Trotta has been called "the world’s leading feminist filmmaker." The predominant aim of her films is to create new representations of women. Her films are concerned with relationships between and among women (sisters, best friends, etc.), as well as with relationships between women and men, and involve political setting. Nevertheless, she rejects the suggestion that she makes "women’s films". more…
