Juri.

Juri.

Take it easy, big guy.

Where?
- Take it easy.

I'm here.

What happened?

I was starting to think
you'd never wake up.

Juri! Juri!

No!

No!

No, no, no!

Everything will be fine.

Good morning.
- Morning.

Hi there. How are
we doing today?

Did you sleep well?

Close...

Close the window.

Close the window.

Sure, sweetie.

You don't understand. My
son's in the hospital.

I urgently need...

Wait a second. I can't hear you.
- Just a minute.

ELEVATOR OUT OF ORDER

Excuse me.

The elevator is broken.

Please use that one.

f*cking house!

Yes?
- Listen...

We can't approve payment
without Mr. Zettel's report.

We've been trying to
reach him for days.

Pardon me.

When will the second
elevator be running?

My son nearly died!

I'm sorry.

I'm working on it. Take the
other elevator till then.

I knew I'd find you here.

How is he?

He'll...

survive without any
lasting injuries.

He has to stay
there for a while.

So everything can heal.

What are you doing here?

QUALIFIED ELECTRICAL
ENGINEER WANTED

I thought you'd want to use the
time until Juri gets better.

I'm not the one for the job.

Why not?

This qualified engineer
can't even fix an elevator.

That's genuine
German workmanship.

With this 10-piece, die-cast
aluminum cookware set

you'll be cooking just like Mother.
That's quality craftmanship.

Let's see if there's a
new chip. Here you go!

10,629! You win!

Erich?

The building manager's
son nearly died.

Oh yeah?

Did you know that?
- Ladies and gentlemen...

The wheel!

I should've asked if I
could be of any help.

What's wrong?

Did you die?

Do you know how many

clouds fly

high above

the big wide world?

God the Lord

has counted them

so not a single one

goes astray

Do you know how many

little stars are in the sky...

I thank You for the
roof over my head.

I thank You for the
roof over my head.

And that I feel safe.
- And that I feel safe.

Our dignity drives us...

Our dignity drives us...

to crush the invasion once more.

To crush the invasion once more.

Amen.

Hello.

I brought you a few things.

Thanks.

Maybe you'll feel like drawing.

We'll see.

You certainly have the time.

Everything okay?

I'm a little dizzy.

Dad?

Yes?

Did she seem different
before the fire?

Who?

Mom.

Different...

how?

As if she...

wanted to hurt herself.

You need to rest.

I'll be back soon.

It wasn't an accident.

What?

It was. You fell.

No.

Something tried to k*ll me.

Something?

Something evil.

It made the elevator doors close.
- Stop it!

Maybe this place isn't
right for us after all.

Pardon me, I...

Where do you need to go?
- I...

I...

Nurse!

Nurse!

What happened to you?

I had a fall.

Funny story...

Won't you tell it to me?

It was in this house...

I was standing at
the elevator shaft.

I wanted to help my father.

And then...

I was here.

An accident.

There are accidents...

and accidents.

What do you mean by that?

What happened to you?

An accident.

I have to rest.

Talking is too exhausting.

After you left your last position, it
took you some time to find a new job.

Could you explain to us why that is?
- No.

I wanted to spend more
time with my family.

I see.
- Explore new avenues.

I wanted to approach
my next position

with the same energy and efficiency
that had always set my work apart.

Is it right

that you then took a job
as a building manager?

Yes.

Just temporarily.

What?

It may seem different
to you, but not to me.

The upkeep of hundreds of
apartments, day after day...

is a bigger challenge than
you could ever offer me.

Good.

Let's discuss your
personal life.

Are you satisfied
with your homelife?

Well, I have a sixteen-year-old
son. It's not easy.

Don't you have your
wife's support?

She died.

I'm really sorry.

Is there...

someone new in your life?

Jaschek!

Anja?

What?

What did you say?

What are you doing here?

Can I come in, please?

I have to talk to you.

It's a bad time.

Please.

New students demand
my full attention.

Sorry to bother you.

There.

Was that so difficult?

You're the building
manager's son?

The doctor said
cancer mutates cells.

It forces them to
turn on themselves.

If I'd come half a year
earlier, maybe they could've

done something about it.

It was spreading inside
me all that time.

Until everything...

Who's that?

The boy was my friend
when I moved here.

He's gone.

That's impossible.

I know him.

You know him? He disappeared.

Yes, of course. I...

His name was...

Dennis.

Yes!

Every night, he'd stand
in the hallway and cry,

because his mother
wasn't home yet.

That was years ago.

The house had just been built.

We were the first to
move in, back then.

Every time I thought...

"I'll just open the door and...

let him in," but I...

Somehow I...

Somehow it never happened.

What happened to him?

I don't know.

He was in the house.

I saw him.

Yes.

In the house.

But that was years ago.

You know...

sometimes the sound of the cranes
still wakes me in the morning.

It's as if the echoes

are embedded in the walls.

Baby, where are you?

Baby, where are you?

Maybe people can leave
an echo behind, too.

I'm going food shopping.

Okay.

Good luck.

Can I help you?

I have an appointment.

Grundmann.

Are you sure?
- Yes.

A job interview.

Yes?

Hello?

A gentleman by the name of...

Grundmann.
- Grundmann. He says he has an appointment.

Mr. Grundmann?
- Yes?

Please take a seat.

Where is the restroom?

Is anybody there?

Take it easy.

Take it easy.

sh*t!

Baby!

It's just money.

We'll manage.

We'll build it all up again.

Dad?

I should've listened
to my smart daughter.

You can't just save money,
you have to live too.

Buy something nice, right?

I have to tell you something.

Where did you get this?

It was a stupid mistake.

I'm sorry!

Dad!

Dad!

I'm sorry.

How did it go?

It was just one interview.

Okay?

It's no reason to give up hope.

Where does it come from,

your hope?

I went to see a woman.

She helped me.

What kind of woman?

She let me see into my future.

I saw my son.

He will come back to me.

You went to a fortune teller.

I know it.

My wife is dead.

My son is in the hospital.

Your boyfriend lost your baby.
- No!

It's lying dead
on a garbage heap.

Juri!

Juri!

Wake up!

Yes?

Who is that?

That's a boy.

The other drawing.

My mother.

She died.

Can I ask you something?

What?

You tried to k*ll
yourself, didn't you?

Yes.

With fire?

Yes.

Why?

Because the thought
of going on...

was unbearable.

What about your family?

Couldn't they help you?

No.

There are things in life...

You can't run away from them.

Sleep now.

Juri.

Good night, Mom.

Dad?

Everything okay?

Yes.
- Go back to sleep.

The woman in that bed,

with the burns.

Where is she?

What woman?

It must've been a dream.

Yes.

Yes?

Mr. Jaschek Grundmann?

Speaking.

This is property management.

We heard you were looking for
a new position somewhere else.

The whole thing is a big misunderstanding.
- We wanted to take this opportunity...

to let you know

how much we appreciate your...
- Pardon me?

We think

that you're the best
building manager

we've ever had.

Thanks.

Thank you very much.

The higher-ups have
been thinking...

about how we could show our
appreciation for your efforts.

We want you to remain with
us for a long time to come.
