Stop the car, Pierre.
Well, why do you hesitate? You can do that.
Finally! Back in my beloved city.
A former family residence of the Borgias.
Today it is a penitentiary for felons...
All Lifers.
But this city also has its beauties.
From here you have the most beautiful view Of the city.
If you say so. It's beautiful.
So where is your magnificent villa?
- There! - What, there?
Too bad. Why don't you sell the Old one
and build yourself a new one over there on the hill?
- You don't like it? Why? - Up there? No.
It's boring.
Maybe you'll build one with that beautiful View aft er all.
I'm designing several palazzi right now.
And I'll build you one of those up there.
So, now you get something to eat, Schnumpel.
There.
Schnumpel...
Do you like?
Leslie! Leslie!
Your mother wants to drive on!
Come, my darling. We don't want to be late.
RUN, RABBIT, RUN
Come on, give us your hand.
Ow!
- Oh, they are cute. - Not so tight!
Pierre, just a moment!
Maestro! Maestro!
May I?
Money's in the car.
Sorry, but he's always hungry.
Does anyone have money for me?
- How nice to have you back, Maestro. - Thank you.
- How much is it? - NO, no.
Thank you very much.
- Cameriere! - What a beautiful place.
Here we are. This is Piazza Duomo, tho center Of the festival.
Please, come with me.
You live here. Please.
Well...
- Well chosen, isn't it? - Yes.
You're welcome.
Two rooms face the front onto the piazza and one onto the courtyard.
I'm extremely sorry about that, but that is certainly right for Leslie.
No, not at all.
After all, the poor child must have something to see. Am I right?
- Well, the two Of us take the front rooms. - Of course, I'll take tho One in the back.
Well, see you tonight. You'll still get the plan for the rehearsals.
- Goodbye. - It was Very nice Of you, thank you.
- Where should the many suitcases go now? - The two in the back room.
Are you hungry? DO you want something to eat?
You can also take a look at the apartment.
Come. So...
Still tired?
Maurice.
Maurice, you smell gorgeous.
This is Maurice.
Maurice Puliev.
Have just arrived, quite exhausted.
Yes, in an hour for cocktails. Are tho others already there?
Great, see you later.
Lettuce, bunny.
Come.
Ouch!
Come on, get on!
- So, here I still have. Do you want salad? - No.
Don't.
Not so boring. Co on!
Well, now I'm in the stable!
I wish I was the jockey. - A horse is a horse, Of course.
You have the ponytail.
Fine.
The cocktail party is dead. Let's have a drink here.
You with your cotton panties, tomorrow I'll buy you prettier ones.
You're sweet.
- Isn't it nice here? - Yes.
Are you ready?
Relax. You want to adorn yourself with attractive women.
Attractive women? A mother and her beautiful daughter.
Don't get into the habit too soon.
You still have ti me for that.
You can't prevent her from growing up.
Hurry up, I've been waiting for 10 minutes.
Oops!
- Come on. - Want down.
My dear.
May I introduce Francine Van der Feldern?
Hello.
Oh Leslie, how you’ve grown. And prettier and prettier.
You look beautiful.
Maurice, I'm so proud to welcome you here.
Please, let's sit down.
Maurice, this is Aleksiev.
Pleased to meet you.
- Imagine that, such a surprise. - It's like that every night.
- The great conductor and the great ballerina. - She always behaves like that.
All with me. All in my garden.
You’re shamelessly exaggerating.
- Franco! - I've slowly got ton used to it.
- The evenings are tho most beautiful thing for her. - And then they have
the houses wrapped in plastic.
It's so good to see you again. You still live with Maurice.
Is it still the big love?
Are you having problems?
- No! What do you think? - Oh, then I'm reassured.
- Have you ever been here? - Yes, last year.
And now again.
I don't know myself why she comes to me.
What kind of people are here?
The usual festival goers.
Just maybe a bit wealthier.
And do you know what is particularly exciting
and fascinating if, like you, you don't know this place?
That one meets without knowing when tho other will leave.
Every encounter is purely coincidental.
You wonder if there isn't someone here
you want to meet.
You want to address and get to know everyone.
You get hectic, but then you get scared
to meet someone
who is going to leave this city in a few days, and...
with whom you fall in love. That's the fascinating thing about this festival.
The change it brings about.
Schnumpel.
Will you come to me?
Or don't you want to eat today?
I have to go to rehearsal right away, so I won't see you all day.
Leslie, the bathroom is free.
Come on, darling, you have to hurry!
Your rehearsal is about to start!
Don't you feel like it?
Leslie, I'm talking to you.
The first rule of etiquette is: you answer when you are asked a question!
Understand?
Oh, that damn boast!
And two... And three... And four...
And one... And two... And three...
And four... And five...
And one... And two...
And three... And one... And two...
And three... And four... And five...
And six... And seven... And one...
And two... And three...
And four... And five...
And six... And seven... And eight... and...
Come on, Leslie.
Relax.
It's exasperating that you're not working the festival as well.
Oh, you're just trying to distract me from criticizing your choreography.
Besides, you should know that I'm only fit to live,
and there I have theater enough, God knows. Right, Leslie?
Como here.
Goodbye, Francine. I'll see you tonight, Leslie.
See you later. We're going shopping.
- You play not bad either. - Thank you, Maestro.
- Here. - Thank you.
drive the car home, I'll walk.
- Yes, I will. - Where is Francine?
Maestro, is it possible now? You promised.
Of course, kid.
No, no!
Ono made of cotton, if possible.
Please show us some others.
Don't you have a small or size?
Take this one. You have more than enough Of the others.
- Do you like them? - Do you like them?
I'll pay tomorrow.
- Uh, it's lovely. - Too bad, it's too colorful for you.
Why don't you take those, they’re really pretty. Take it as a gift from me.
Besides, they're also much more practical than the ones you have.
No thanks, I don't like them.
It's too big for you, you have to Grow into it first.
- I take the two. - 3000 liras.
- Thank you. - Goodbye.
- Oh, will you food Schnumpel? - You don't have to worry,
I won't let him starve. You have my word.
You cannot hide from mo in this place.
Did I surprise you again with your favorite activity?
I just bought something pretty for your dearest child...
Yes, I can imagine.
Cute little frippery.
But that's not really our taste, huh?
Won't you come with us?
No, I want to walk around here for a while.
- See you later. - Ciao.
Wasn't there a vegetable store here once?
Yesterday, why?
The people here make a fun of it,
setting up a new thing every day during the super happening.
But don't think about it.
Bark, you...
Well...
There.
His name Schnumpel.
May I?
We've got a cat at home.
Yes, but be careful.
Ho is quite shy.
I don't like him.
Thanks.
That's not a rabbit at all, it has no ears.
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, we'll take a break.
This passage does not work yet. The feeling is still not right.
There's still some work to be done.
Do you like it?
Don't be mad, but I'm a little bored by this.
Sometimes.
Can't you do anything now for a change...
I mean, you, right?
Are you talking about me or tho music?
Or how I'm working on it?
No, not you.
The music.
- Are you angry? - Yes.
Why don't you go to tho big tent?
You'll find something new there. I don't like it.
Why don't you go there to see it?
Knowing me, you like it better here.
And if not?
Don't get cocky!
Okay, I'll go there.
Are you still working?
Try it.
Do you like it?
Oh yes.
Can I see you later?
No, unfortunately, you can't. I have a premiere tonight
and afterwards we are all invited.
Maybe afterwards, at the festival club.
I can try it.
Well then.
Ciao.
- Alright? - Mh-hm.
I was looking for you. What's going On in there?
These are friends of mine. They are working right now.
Weird. Let's go.
Come.
Please... Please a picture with your mother.
- Here, so you can have your picture. - Oh yes, that's beautiful!
Please one more! That's it! And now a little closer! Yes, thank you!
Oh child, you were so adorable tonight!
- Here, these are yours. - Thank you, my dear!
Give us some room. Sit down over there.
Francine...
This kind of place makes me sick.
But why? Maurice, let's stay here for a while.
Leslie wanted us to go here.
You should know these places, they are open only during the festival.
- You'll discover the appeal yet. - You make me laugh.
I can't find the appeal here yet.
Those stupid guys... And this music...
- Will you excuse mo? - Gladly.
Brian, got a light?
You never know beforehand what will happen.
I'll go and get Leslie back.
Leslie. Leslie!
Come and sit with us again.
Well, my boy, you can't leave working, can you?
I know you're racking up points for your criticism. Even now.
No, that's not true.
You have to understand that I first need distance,
that I'm very silent at first.
Before you issue your subtle dispute,
I would like to hear the first version Of your criticism about my two.
You don't have to be polite.
- Did you like the premiere? - What do you want to hear?
It was perfect. Unbearably perfect.
Without a doubt, my criticism has to stop here.
You weren't bad either.
Are you reassured now, Francine?
Or shall I sing even greater praises?
So you couldn't resist coming. I thought so.
Thought so too.
I'm hot.
I think it would be best if you went to bed.
- behave, I'll see you at rehearsal. - Like an angel.
Come, let us go.
You're nervous, my dear.
I can see it's coming over you.
A horny tomcat on stilts.
How happy you two are against it.
Aft er all, Francine, I do have my two eyes in my head.
I wonder how he does it.
All types from all nations.
Nothing can stop him then.
And what about you?
Eyes in your head too?
Why do you say that?
Come on, let's go.
Yes, let's go then.
Whore's Leslie?
- leave me alone! - But that's good.
Embrace me.
Maurice...
I still...
...like it.
Maurice, please.
Let's go home.
You're absolutely right, I've never thought about it before.
You are born,
then everything runs as if automatically.
Without adding anything to it.
Explain to me...
the thing about...
I am.
That's pretty simple.
I am
and I realize that I am.
Therefore we are.
When you perceive that you exist...
you observe your reactions.
That's the moment when you begin to live.
Consciously and focused.
Most people live their lives without knowing what they are doing.
But since I know what I'm doing,
I'm also aware of what I want from you right now.
I guess I'm the first man you push home?
- Hop. - May I have tho pleasure?
What's that beautiful button there?
I can't.
What's that stuff you're wearing?
For God's sake, put on the dress!
You're miserable.
You used to want me to wear those colorful things!
You wanted me to walk around like this!
- You always brought mo new ones! - There are people who change.
And others remain behind.
You're still where you've always been.
Get the hell out of here!
Where have you been?
We were walking the whole time.
I can't stand it when you stay out this late.
You have rehearsal in a few hours and a performance tonight.
- Come, let's go. - Come on, don't be so strict.
We go swimming aft er Leslie's rehearsal.
Do you want to come along?
Yes, why not. Agreed.
Well then, good night.
I don't like what you're doing.
You still have plenty of time to hang out with the guys.
- But ho is Very nice. - Certainly you think he is very nice.
You're not a normal girl. You have a career to defend.
I don't know what you want at all. Nothing happened.
We just get along Very well.
Whenever I meet someone my age,
- then you send him away. - But my dear Leslie,
I'm only thinking of you.
Are you saying I can see him again?
Yes, certainly.
You'll see him later when we go swimming.
Mommy.
Mommy, can you bring Schnumpel some food?
Yes, kiddo.
What's that?
- Brian? - Finally.
I'll also play you something on the trumpet to wake you up.
Don't you realize that everyone here is still asleep?
Come down. I want to see you and talk to you.
I really want to see you too. I'll come.
I can't. It is not possible right now.
- Oh, please, come down. - I'd love to,
but it's going to make a terrible...
Good night.
Hello.
Do you have your swimwear with you?
Nope, don't need to, but don't worry about it.
Did you sleep well?
Yes.
Except for your kind little interruption.
I brought all my friends with me. You already know the group, don't you?
We work together. you've already seen us.
They're very nice.
Do you mind?
No. No, not at all.
Come on, don't be like that.
You really don't have to be afraid.
We now have not only a child irritating us,
but a whole load Of playful, neurotic idealists around us.
I thought it would be a recovery.
Are you happy now, my dear?
I keep my word, right?
Now I guess I'll have no choice but to introduce each one individually.
That's Jokatan, Tino,
Ellen, Jost,
- Pierre! - Barbara...
- Pierre, the towel. - Nice to see you.
She always says that.
Leslie said that we are colleagues.
Do you feel the same way?
Call it that if you want.
- I'm going in! - In what?
To the Mediterranean Sea!
Ow!
Francine, hurry up.
Pierre, over hero!
Pierre, Pierre! Where are you?
Brian looks all in love. Nice how he takes care of Leslie.
I can't stand him for long.
Acting like maniacs. They could also use their strengths more productively.
You're too practical, Maurice. That's always been your fault, ever since we met.
It's too much for me, I need to cool down a bit.
- Are you coming, Francine? - Right away.
It's good for you, too, Leslie. It loosens the muscles. Come along.
Pierre, come, pack up our things.
Leslie, would you be so kind and come? We want to go, it's already pretty late.
Don't stare at me like that. Come on!
Here.
I'll go over to the others for a bit.
Until your mother is ready.
So.
- Now we can go. - It's about time.
Well, get in the car.
Brian, will you ride with us?
- Okay. - Later, boys.
See you later. Bye.
I think we need to take care Of Brian a bit.
Uh-uh, we don't have to.
Tell me, Brian,
what are your motives for making music?
I don't make music, even though it may sound like it.
- What do you call it? - I live music, I am music.
I cannot comprehend an aesthetic that is no longer Valid for me.
Do you understand?
Because you said for me, I forgive you once again.
Listen.
It is impossible for me to replay
what occurred to mo a few moments before.
Only the...
the feeling is important,
that exists inside me
while I'm playing.
And that I try to implement into...
And that will never be repeated?
You'll have to learn to insult me first.
Pierre, stop the car. The young man wants to get Off here.
Then I'll get out too! You must not do that.
You stay in here. Listen to me,
I forbid you to see Leslie again.
Is that clear enough?
Ciao.
Do we pick up hitchhikers?
Not really, but this One looks pretty neat.
I guess you got out, huh?
One too many for them, eh?
- Daddy's going to tell you something. - Talk it Over alone.
leave me alone or you'll go on without me!
All right.
Brian, sorry about this afternoon. How did you get...
Schnumpel, will you be good? We'll get in trouble if you don't.
You know him.
Did you try to wake me up?
Brian.
What are you doing here?
I want to find out for myself first.
Do you mind?
So what do we make Of it now?
Why don't you make a suggestion?
Let's go for a walk.
I'll grant your wish, it shall be.
I like you. I confess it.
Here...
...and now.
Well then out into the fresh morning.
Leslie.
What?
Well, nothing.
You are funny.
You know, that was a crazy idea Of yours last night. The two were really scared.
Shall we go inside?
I can't stand churches.
They are like prisons. narrow, elevated and dead.
I don't even know what people are doing in it.
Okay, let's go then.
Do you actually believe in God?
In God? Yes.
God is everywhere for me.
You see, there is God.
There is God, that is God.
And ho is God.
God is everywhere.
What bothers me mOst about it,
is this institution Of the church.
A selfish, dictatorial machine. Which is attached to God,
tries to restrict every thought and supports stupidity.
For example:
There are several billion people living on earth.
And every second...
has a bosom.
Or can't I call it that?
Outgrowths, called breast.
Basically nothing more than noses, ears and lips.
Or all the other things.
And that is supposed to be immoral.
You know, I'm stupid.
I can't understand this logical reasoning.
Yes, you're right, my nose is a bit more impressive.
My nose is immoral!
I demonstrate against immoral outgrowths!
They should be chopped off, burned, this stuff, these things!
Or maybe give it to the devil!
I don't want them anymore.
I'll just give them away.
I have outgrowths to give away! Who wants Outgrowths?
Outgrowths to give away!
Immoral outgrowths to give away!
Turn around. Give me my blouse.
Hey, you two!
- Come to us. Just sit down there. - Wanna sit down? Come and celebrate with us.
Here, drink.
Cheers.
Sit on here.
Two servings for my friends!
Thank you. It's fabulous.
Thanks.
Look at this cute little one.
Can you imagine what it's like to be just around adults?
You know, I grew up that way.
I couldn't stand that forever.
Just yesterday...
I realized...
Look.
It wasn't until yesterday that I realized I didn't have any friends my age.
I have never been with my peers.
I see, so you love me.
Except in ballet.
Are you thinking
of continuing to make music?
As long as it's funny, and later I'll study.
Really, I find Leslie's behavior Very irritating.
I'm insanely hungry.
Don't I get any eggs today?
Something happened?
You two should see your faces.
You leave in the middle of the night and don't say a word to me.
And now you're making fun of it.
And you think that amuses us?
I could not sleep. Besides, it had been light for a long time.
What have you done with yourself so alone?
- I have been in the city. - Alone?
After all, I'm not a child anymore.
I can do whatever I want with my time.
Do you have cigarettes?
Hey, cigarettes.
Oh, don't bother me.
Bum.
Move over.
Do you have a cigarette?
What was that all about? Did you hear that?
You'll figure it Out on your own.
What was going on earlier?
Want a cigarette?
Go there already.
Hello!
Come on down, sleepyhead. As fast as you can.
I can't. Not at the moment.
Don't talk, come down. I want to talk to you.
We can go for a swim, if you feel like it.
Yes, maybe in an hour.
If you really want to, you can.
But only do what you think is right.
I can't explain it to you, it's difficult.
Please. I want you to leave me alone.
Brian, what do you want?
Brian, stay here!
No, don't go!
Brian, stay here!
Please do me a favor and stay here!
You won't understand!
Please believe me, I really can't help it.
How that humbles me.
It's the only way for me
to live with him. Please believe me, Brian.
She can't help it. It's been going on for two years.
You're not going to tell anyone, are you?
Either she gets you, or forget it.
Are you coming now? Your mother is waiting.
And my rehearsal is about to begin.
You can go. I don't want to now.
I can see the performance.
Don't be impertinent.
It's happened three times now.
Thank you, gentlemen.
We'll start this passage all over again.
But just a little interruption, please don't go away.
- So please again, gentlemen. - I need a break, too.
- Let's smoke a cigarette. - Hopefully he will not see it.
Me too.
I think Maurice conducted it well. I think it will be a success.
Can I go?
Okay, darling. We're going Out for dinner aft er rehearsal. Are you coming?
- Tell him I was sick. - Ciao.
Stop it, Brian!
You're scaring me! Stop it!
Schnumpel, you are kind.
Stay here, okay?
Sleep.
Here.
Good night.
Can't sleep?
Come here.
- What is it? - I'm going to mommy.
I can't sleep.
Me neither.
Come to me. Come to bed with me.
What can I do for you?
Don't want to talk?
Yes, actually, I want.
Because of...
Brian.
You know, he was trying...
It was terrible.
He was so furious.
Forget it.
I love him, mommy.
What... What should I advise you?
We both have a bad time.
You've got to understand Brian.
He just lost his head.
What should I do, mommy?
Do you want to see him again?
I do.
Only he certainly doesn't want it.
You know what?
A telegram just came from Fringe.
Can you remember the house in Avignon?
It is reserved from next week, as long as the festival lasts.
We have the same staff again.
The two crazy sisters. Where the lanky one has this quirk...
Don't you care?
Oh yes, darling.
I think I'll go to bed now.
Good idea, me too.
- We seem to be sitting in the back. - You are right.
Don't make it so hard for yourself.
What is too hard?
- That wasn't for you. - Ah.
If only I had spoken to him.
- There you go. Go, go, go! - Come on, come On!
Come On!
You know those three behind us?
Yes, a truly happy family.
I'm sorry.
He is a boy... like many Others.
He just wanted to go to bed with you.
And how about you?
You want the same thing.
I don't like you anymore, Maurice.
We'll talk about it in a few days, okay?
Maria!
I'm really happy to see you guys.
Dearest, how lovely you look.
And you...
I really need to introduce you to someone.
Maurice! You don't mind if I steal your wife, do you?
- Natürlich. - Tony. - Maurice, this is a colleague of mine.
- Pleased to meet you. - The pleasure is all mine.
- Some women here, Maurice... - Well then.
You see, life is all about small pleasures.
That's why I keep coming back...
Fantastic!
- Simply infernal, this performance! - You are lovely.
- The choreographer was heavenly! - Allow mo, Maurice,
to introduce you to Mrs. Lilienthal.
These lovely, personable ladies tirelessly sacrifice themselves for our festival.
Or many years they have been supporting our poor little town.
This is Mrs. Manchester.
- And the sympathetic Signora Green. - My pleasure, signora.
These few people cover about 60 percent of our costs.
- And this is Signore Fuli. - Good evening.
And this is the commissioner,
and Mr. Genese.
And here we have Gervais and Umberto.
They were particularly helpful to the city
- I wonder if there will be food here soon? - Can't she leave the rabbit at home?
Exceptionally bleak, countess. I am deeply disappointed.
Yesterday I went to see Carlo in Rome.
Depressing.
We are ready to help, but the circumstances are extremely precarious.
You can't fill every distended tummy.
Do you want to see him again?
He has been downright afraid of his housekeeper for 15 years.
I suspect they are having an illegitimate honeymoon in Sorrent.
I didn't Vent, Maria, but I'm annoyed
that you don't let me think.
You can't explain it to me that way.
Aleksiev, come with me.
It's good to be able to escape those smiling faces.
This is what I call a successful party.
Maestro! Maestro!
My dear.
And you...
Leslie, come with me.
Aleksiev...
We don't have much Of that.
- We're always on the road. - Then you are to be pitied.
Be so kind and pull yourself together now.
You can't bother other people with your whims.
What do you do after the festival?
Oh, I'm going to Avignon.
Leslie, am I not correct?
Yes, of course.
Do you enjoy working at these events?
Yes, I was already there last year.
I like the French very much. That's why I always on joy going there.
Ich bitte um eure Aufmerksamkeit! Kommt!
Beautiful!
There! Beautiful! Yes!
There! More! Yes!
Inside!
Bam, bam, bam, bam!
Isn't that beautiful?
Oh yes, you're still of such penetrating impudence that you never stop!
Bam, bam.
Come on, it's enough.
Damn it.
Bastard!
- There is a rabbit! - A rabbit! Quick, a rabbit!
I don't believe it! Where is a rabbit?
- Where is it? - There must be a way to find it!
There! Over there! There it goes!
There it is! There it goes!
Finally something happens!
- Stop it! - I almost caught him!
There he goes, after him!
Where are you? He has hidden himself.
He must be somewhere!
Ah, there he is! I've got him!
Run, my bunny! Run, run, run!
Come on already!
Go for it!
- It's just like always in the hunt. - Couldn't any of the men intervene?
More like this.
- Stop him! - What impudence!
Leslie.
Leslie!
Leslie, will you get up right now.
Get up already!
The party's over, angel.
Even if you are exhausted to death, you take off the dress, understand?
Come on, get up. Because we don't have any more time to lose.
Please let me lie a little longer.
Look at that. She looks terrible.
Maurice, darling, can we still make it by?
- At Christine. - NO way!
But it's important to me.
Nonsense! Don't you understand? We have to go to Avignon.
Today!
I can still see Brian, can't I, Mommy?
Yeah, well, but hurry up.
The hell with Brian!
Get dressed and get in the car! DO you hear me?
Francine, pack her bags and let's go!
- Open up. - Sure.
Thank you.
- The valves urgently need to be readjusted. - There's still time, Pierre.
Upon arrival, you can have the car repaired.
Thank you.
Where are you going?
You are hurting me.
- I haven't said goodbye yet. - We don't have time for that now.
Franco, do you have her luggage?
Leslie...
Did you think Of everything?
- Thank you very much, you have helped us a lot. - Thank you, Mr. Puliev. Goodbye.
Drive.
Goodbye, maestro. Good return.
See you next year, goodbye.
Pierre, stop the car immediately!
We're leaving now.
I'd love to come with you, Brian.
Don't think for so long.
We'll visit you in Avignon if you feel like it.
I really wish you could come along.
Can't do it, Brian.
You're crazy to brake so hard. I'd have thought you were more intelligent.
Francine...
Go over and get her back.
Pierre, open the trunk.
See you soon then, my dear.
- And don't forget your rehearsals. - Yes.
Ciao.
Pierre, I wish that we reached Florence by noon.
You know Christine’s house.
You'll be able to wait that long, won't you?
