A Whole Life (Ein ganzes Leben)

A WHOLE LIFE

What should I do with the boy?

Just because she's my sister-in-law...

Let the priest take him!

Well then.

In God's name.

You look hungry.

Go inside.

Let's have something to eat.

Who had the bastard sit at the table with us?

Sit over there. In the corner.

You!

Didn't you hear me?

You're to sit in the corner.

Come.

The eyes of all wait upon thee, and thou givest them meat in due season.

Thou openest thine hand, and satisfies every living thing.

We ask your mercy, O Lord, for my good wife and mother of my children. Amen.

Here we are.

Enjoy.

Does it taste good?

Yes, it's good.

So, Andreas...

Move over, now.

You can sleep here.

Now.

Get out. Go on.

Go away.

There.

So, in you go.

Bang!

There.

Now poke holes in the dough.

Here! Look at this, you lout.

You're coming with me!

Let's go!

Come on!

You're still not crying out?

Are you still not crying out?

Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy!

Lord, have mercy.

From bottom to top, Andreas.

It was a royal stag. An odd number. 17-pointer.

Eight on one side, nine on the other.

I saw it once myself. Up on Steinwandklamm.

My heart leapt.

It was such a beautiful creature.

It had something very special about it.

He laughed. I heard him.

I am Kranzstocker.

If I want to,

I'll plough a field,

I'll lift a full-grown sow on my shoulder,

or I'll bring a child into the world,

or I'll put another one over the oxen's bar.

Lord, have mercy.

Lord, have mercy.

Hey.

Say something.

Boy!

Hey.

It's broken.

It...

It will heal up.

Like everything in life.

Yes...

Andreas.

Lovely, isn't it.

The dough.

Get up!

- Off to pay the French a visit. - Hope they've suited up.

See you in Paris.

- Hello there. - Hello.

I can hardly wait for the war.

I'll handle it.

Everyone wants to go off to war.

- I'm going to catch you. - No, you won't.

But Major!

Please, you can't take away my favorite foster son,

and sell him to the wops,

or the frogs!

Major, please!

I've already buried two sons because of diphtheria.

Without that boy...

You can burn down my whole farm under my ass.

You'll have one soldier more,

but one farm fewer feeding the soldiers in the field.

We're going.

No way are you getting away from me!

Ahnl is gone now.

Where to...

one cannot know.

But it will be all right.

Where the old die, there is space for the new.

So it is, and so it will be forever.

- Amen. - Amen.

The eyes of all wait upon thee, and thou givest them meat in due season.

Thou openest thine hand, and satisfies the desire of every living thing.

Amen.

Fetch the hazel rod and put it in water.

Pants down.

Oh, look!

The bastard shows dissent to the farmer.

If you beat me,

I'll kill you.

Get lost!

- Bye. - Bye.

Egger! Come!

Timber!

And go.

Gruber.

Thanks.

Egger.

Go on.

Steiner.

Dying wouldn't be the worst thing.

But not on my back.

You limping devil.

In which earth

do you want to be buried?

There will be a cold.

A cold...

that gnaws your bones.

And your soul.

Death brings forth new life,

so people say,

but death brings forth nothing at all.

Death...

is the Cold Lady.

The what?

The Cold Lady.

She has no face.

And no voice.

She comes,

and takes,

and goes.

She throws you into a black hole.

And in the patch of sky

you can still see

before they shovel earth over you

the Cold Lady reappears

and breathes on you.

And all that is left for you then

is the darkness.

And the cold.

The cold.

Hold tight!

Horned Hannes...

Stay where you are.

No one has ever outrun Death.

We don't do credit.

Death...

is the Cold Lady.

Do you want another?

Well?

I'll take it.

The lease is due one year in advance.

And am I supposed to carry this down?

Feel free to leave it here.

We are here

to build a cable car.

In wooden cubicles,

people will be able to float up the mountain

and enjoy the panoramic view of your entire valley.

We will overcome a difference in altitude

of 1,300 meters.

With the cable car,

electricity will come to your valley,

light for your living rooms

and streets

and stables.

Yes!

It's progress.

A new era is beginning.

Get her out of your head.

Marie is one for work and not for love. Understood?

I'd like...

Yes?

Come.

I still need to paint the hut.

The wind and the...

the damp eat through the wood.

You can't even see how fast it goes,

and then it's over with...

cosy.

I planted vegetables over there.

The celery

is virtually growing over my head.

The sun...

shines brighter up here than down in the valley

It's not only good for the plants, it also warms the bones.
