Formentera

I love you.

Yes, that's it.

Come on.

I thought I heard something.

-Did you walk? -No.

Hello, Ben! Nina, hello!

-Where is Georg? -I told him not to pick us up.

Since when does Georg do as he's told?

-I'm so happy! -Me too!

-Hello! -Hello!

-I'm Nina. -Hello, Nina.

-Nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you too.

Ben!

Looking at you, I can see how time flies.

-Would you like some? -Yes.

Thank you.

-So where is your daughter? -She's with my mom.

What a pity.

We need some time to ourselves.

Make yourselves at home. See you later.

See you later.

I'll quickly call home to say we got here alright.

No, you won't.

Let me take care of that.

Great, isn't it?

-What is it? -Nothing.

Nothing.

Don't tell me you want to go upstairs already.

-We haven't said hello yet! -Georg.

My boy! And this must be Nina.

-That's Nina. -Hello, Nina. Welcome.

Come on.

-It's hippy market tomorrow. -Really? Right, tomorrow.

-It's on Wednesdays and Sundays… -Sundays, right.

-You really have to take Nina there. -Of course.

And afterwards, you must visit the Dylan cliff. It's on your way.

Maybe they've already made plans of their own.

-Sorry, what's your name again? -Pit.

…this is the genie in the bottle…

-Is that his son? -Something like that.

…it's hiding everywhere…

-How was your trip? -Great. Wasn't it?

It is the best that could have happened to us, missing each other at the port.

-Because… -Why?

But we said we would come on our own, right?

Do you remember the winegrower in Es Caló?

-The one with the sheep? -Sure!

He's got two sheep.

-Do you all live here? -Yes. All year round.

Chez Christine!

Nina, what is it that you are doing?

-Right now I'm on parental leave. -But only just.

-Parental what…? -Parental leave.

Parental leave.

All right, I got it.

-And how long does it last? -Three years.

Isn't that a bit boring in the long run?

Your life isn't that exciting either, is it?

And you're only looking after your third eye.

Wouldn't it be the right moment to think of something new?

You have to finish what you started, right?

What exactly?

I did cultural studies.

And I thought you were designing clothes.

Nothing remains secret here…

But isn't it true?

Well… It's more like a nice hobby.

You know that Christine has a boutique down in Sant Francesc?

Really?

-That's also a nice hobby. -Yes, that’s also a nice hobby.

Oh, Mara, Pablo… Meet Nina and Ben.

-Hello. -Hi.

-Hello. -Hello. Pablo.

Hi. Ben.

Hey, Mummy!

-I've heard a lot about you. -Really?

-And you're from Berlin? -Sure.

As if there weren't any other cities in Germany.

If you're from Copenhagen, there are no other cities in Germany.

-Why did you move to Germany? -Because of my studies.

But I thought it was because of Nina?

Of course. But…

-And where did you meet? -In Portugal, right?

-On vacation? -Yes.

Back then we actually wanted to stay there.

-Why look so far from home? -But… why didn't you?

Ben wanted to finish his studies first.

That was a wise decision.

Since when do you prefer wise decisions?

-And? Where is… is it asleep? -I hope so.

She's with Nina's mother.

What a shame. The island is ideal for kids.

-Nina. You're leaving already? -Yes. Too much fresh air…

-Well then, sleep well. -Yes. You too.

-See you tomorrow. -Good night.

Good night.

-I will ask the universe. -Of course.

You just have to believe in it and it works.

-Watch this. -Sure, I want to see that.

There you go.

-How did you do it? -Well, my dear…

If one can deliver…

No, no, no…

I quit! Give me one.

-I totally quit! -Not anymore!

Nina?

-Are you asleep? -Yes.

-Will you give me some blanket? -No.

What's the matter?

-Sugar and lemon. -Yes. Limón, lemon, yes.

-You want two? -Right.

Exactly.

Let's go for a swim.

It should be over there somewhere.

I have no idea.

Let's go for a swim now.

-Isn't it great? -Hmm.

It has changed, quite a bit.

-Really? -Yes.

There used to be fewer people.

-There are a lot of Italians, right? -Yes.

Hi.

Hello.

How are you?

Fine.

Great, you're here, too.

I'm giving massages.

Do you want one?

Not for me right now. I think I've got a sunburn here somewhere.

Some other time, then.

-Bye. -Ciao.

Do you also want a massage?

She's already busy. Look.

-I'm giving you a massage now! -What have I done?

-But that's not a massage. -Yes, it is. A super massage.

I'll go for a swim now.

No. I haven't seen any sharks yet.

But I collected a lot of shells for you already. A lot.

That's great. How nice.

Yes? Luca? Hello?

Gone. Put it down.

Don't tell me you didn't find the cliff.

No. We got totally lost.

-I can't believe it. -But it's true.

Well, my dear, you have a lot of catching up to do.

-Tomorrow we'll go together. -Yes.

It's only a legend. Quit this bullshit for once.

It's obvious Dylan was recording in Nashville at the time.

Is that so now…

How long has this been going on?

How long has this macho game between the two of you been going on?

How does it work here?

Do you have something like a community coffer?

You're my guests of course.

-That's out of the question. -Don't you dare!

Everything balances out in the end.

If not numbers, then in a cosmic way.

Wenke, would you like some more wine? Always!

Yoko! Cheese and melons.

I want to eat on the roof.

Come on down!

Anyway, we could easily combine our trip to the rock…

Christine. Look here!

In a minute.

Combine it with what?

Well, we'll need an office, won't we?

After all, I already sold the first solar plant.

Isn't it strange…

that nobody is constructing solar plants here yet.

What?

So you really think you can make it here selling solar plants?

I thought we were here on a holiday.

But we are.

We dreamed a bit. Nothing concrete.

-Why don't you dream with me? -It wasn’t at all planned.

Everybody knows about this but me.

I wanted to show you the island first.

You wouldn't have come, if I'd told you.

-What makes you sure? -Because.

I'll go for a walk.

Hello, Nina.

Thank you.

Do you really want to go back?

Where to? I was ten years younger than you when I left Germany.

It's really nice for Georg you came.

Suits you.

Did Ben ever tell you about Georg and his father?

-They were best friends? -More than that.

Ben must have been five, when he got into one of those currents.

Luckily Georg saw it quickly enough.

I know he's scared of water. But he never told me that.

That sounds just like him.

You know, I think you really only ever regret the things you didn’t do.

Everything else might turn out to be an error.

But at least you gave it a chance.

It's quite cold outside, right? Especially at night.

How was the office?

-Georg is really serious about it. -Are you?

I can see it. We could have another child…

…or five.
