-Hi, Johan. -Hi. What's for lunch?
-Tacos. Yes. -Tacos! Tacos again?
Well, we sure had a good corn harvest. There's nothing I like more.
-I'm hungry! -Let's say grace.
Amen.
-Let me see who's there. -Okay, Johan.
It was on Marianne's behalf.
I have to go to her business to bring her two urgent deliveries.
Then you can take the children to the dentist in Blumenau.
-Is that where Uncle Abraham lives? -Yes, Alfredo.
This year only these two have been, Johan.
-Really? -Yes. Really, Johan.
Then I'll take them, Esther.
-I brought what you asked for, Marianne. -Fine, Johan.
Daddy, will you buy me two of these little beads?
Shall we go to my office and prepare the invoice?
-I want Dad to buy me some of these sweets. -Me, too.
-Pardon me. -Please.
I think it's a swell idea, Marianne.
-Pardon me. -Please.
Lie down.
I can feel your heart.
This was the last time, Johan.
Peace is stronger than love.
Poor Esther.
Let me get up.
Are you ready?
I'm afraid there's more pain yet to come,
but then there will be
peace,
and afterwards, a happiness like we've never known.
This is the saddest time of my life, Johan,
but also the best.
I don't regret anything.
We're very fortunate, my love.
Me, neither.
I smell of sex.
What's that on the floor, there?
A leaf.
-A cedar leaf? -Yes, red cedar.
We shouldn't have left the kids with that fatso.
That fatso is a good man.
Besides, they're in the restaurant with more people.
I'd rather go down now.
You're the best man I've ever known.
I don't know how I'll live without you.
Where are my children?
They're with Bobby in his van.
Hello, Dad, come in to watch TV with us.
Come on, make room for Daddy.
Alfredo, pass me a banana.
Sara, take good care of the children.
And you, children, obey your sister while we're gone.
Yes, Mummy.
And don't forget your prayers.
-Right, Jak? -Yes, Dad.
Dad...
We have to fix the leak in the barn.
We'll do that tomorrow when Mum and I are back, Alfredo.
You'll have the whole day to play where you want.
We're going to behave very well, Dad.
I love you, Daddy. Mummy, too.
Who can that be?
You go, Alfredo.
Dad, it's for you.
-Finished your breakfast, Cornelio? -No.
Let's go in there. To the room.
To the room.
Who came to the house, Johan?
I don't know. A stranger.
It was on behalf of Marianne. She needs to see me.
Damn whore!
It's very hard for her also, Esther.
What's the matter, Johan?
I've seen her again.
I've tried with all my might
but I've failed.
Poor Marianne.
Remember when we loved travelling like this?
We wouldn't stop singing.
We were always happy.
Or just remained silent,
or I would fall asleep.
However it was, just being next to you
was the pure feeling of being alive. I was part of the world.
Now, I am separated from it.
I feel the same.
How I wished it was all just a bad dream...
To close and open my eyes and be back in that time...
In that feeling.
That idiot's going to kill someone.
Sure, Johan.
My chest is hurting.
We're almost there, Esther.
Stop the car, Johan. I want to vomit.
Calm down, love. See how it's raining.
Stop the car.
Stop the car!
Don't follow me, Johan.
I'm cold, Johan.
Good afternoon!
-What's wrong with them? -Let's go see.
Come with us.
Get up, get up!
-He's very stiff. -Get up! Get up!
Tell me what happened. What's wrong with your wife?
Did you crash? What's wrong?
My name is Juan.
She's my wife.
Her name is Esther.
Johannes Voth!
-Shall I wait in the office, Doctor? -Yes, please.
Your wife suffered a coronary trauma.
That was the cause of her death.
And what is that?
It's a massive attack of the heart.
Why did that happen to her?
She might have been very tired,
it could be obesity,
alcoholism...
Medical science hasn't got all the answers.
Thank you, Doctor.
I will sign the paperwork so you can take her now.
Thank you.
Saint John, verse XV, page 726.
Johan, you may seal in my daughter now.
Pull it tight.
Get in your places.
Cornelio, say goodbye to your sister.
You have to do it from this side.
Johan, come on, stand up.
Stand up.
Stand up now!
Goodbye, Esther.
Alfredo, your turn.
Goodbye, Mum.
Now leave us alone, please.
Johan, she's in peace now.
Now everything's broken, Dad.
The enemy is implacable.
It's not the Devil or anyone else. It's me.
Johan.
You are nothing in the face of this, Johan.
It was all written beforehand.
My dearest friend.
Good day, Zacarias.
Come with me outside.
Wait for me!
Can you move your ears like this?
Without the hat?
Stare at them.
And how about this?
Daddy, is being dead like sleeping, but without waking up?
-Who told you that? -Grandmother Ruth.
It's the truth, Anita.
Don't cry, Dad.
Follow me, Marianne.
I'd give anything to turn back time... Go back to things as they used to be.
That's the only thing in life
that we cannot do, Johan.
I'd like to see Esther once before she's buried.
Good afternoon.
Poor Johan.
Johan will be all right now.
Thank you, Marianne.
Dad sent us to see how you're doing.
We're fine. Come here and say hello to Mummy.
-Hello, Mummy. -Hello, Mummy.
Hello, Autghe.
Hello, Anita.
Dad, Mum has woken up!
Don't bother him, Anita.
Be strong, brother.
Come on, Dad, come on! Mum wants to see you.
Come, come, come. Come on, Dad, come on!
That's enough, Anita!
Let's go, Dad. Come on!
Come on, Dad, come on, Dad...
Go with her, Johan.
...and Grandpa helped us get dressed this morning,
and Grandma did my hair Sunday style.
The grandparents brought us here. They're out there, waiting for you.
And Jackob also came, and Anita. They're all out there.
Greth didn't dress up.
Uncle Jak came, too, and Aunt Maria.
And the other Aunt Greth, and
our cousins from the north.
