„That what rises, also wants to end,
That what experiences itself - who knows that for sure,
The circle is complete, you keep silent in these walls
And there the vastness, high and dark blue”

first act

one month before

You are so stupid. To hell with you.

Oh god, you are completely insane!

I don’t understand!

Who are you?

I



– am-

you!

Why are you doing this?

Ask yourself!

Am I doing this right now?

Mh, correct!

So Basti, what’s your plan for the future?

I will be doing an apprenticeship as a print and digital media designer.

That suits you! Absolutely.

Good. So for those of you,

who come back next year –

– enjoy your holidays.

Basti, Niklas, good luck to you both.

Bye, See you!

Niklas, and what will you be up to?

What would you like to do?

You definitely can draw!

Draw?

Yes,

that will get you….

Mrs Schulze, could you please come for a moment?

Good!

Well, Niklas, it’s time to say goodbye, isn’t it?

All the best! Chin up!

So that’s me then!

Yes, dude, that’s you!

I look like shit –

I have a shitty leaving certificate –

my parents piss me off –

– I can’t open my fucking mouth to say what I want –

- and I have no bloody idea what I should do after the summer holidays.

Why can't be everything fine?

Dude - doesn’t matter!

Just go out for once, enjoy your fucking life

and stop worrying so much!

Niklas!

Niklas, I have told you a few times before

– I am not a psychologist –

– I am only doing this for your mother’s sake.

She would like us to have

a talk between man and man.

You can trust us.

Dude, how long do you want to live...

that way?

It’s not easy.

But…

Have you ever kissed a girl?

Properly? With the tongue?

Yes!

And have you ever had sex?

Yes!

Yes

Fucking Town!

Damn, why am I here!

What am I doing here? Fuck.

Am I okay? Am I doing okay?

Fuck! What am I doing here! Why am I alive!

What do you want! Fuck!

I’m not okay. I am so not okay!

Why? Not again.

Fuck!

Franzi ist starting a fight

– because of me –

well, let her.

I am not gonna argue with her,

I am seizing this opportunity

and finally go back home.

So should you.

By the way, all this emotional shit is nothing for me.

I have only done that for your mother’s sake,

but you know that already, don’t you?

You wanna know what I think?

You are absolutely fine.

You are playing all this shit to us.

You are playing the role of the loner!

Get a girl

and stop having a wank on the internet.

Even though women can be such a pain.

Dude! Did you hear that?

No.

You have to find a girl!

I don’t want to find a girl!

Duuuude. Of course you want to!

Are you not talking to me or what?

Why are you here? Why?

To help you!

What’s up?

Oi, stop it!

I told you, stop it!

Fuck! Stop!

Stop! Fuck man, come on, stop it.

Come on, man!

Open your eyes!

Come on! Open your eyes!

STOP!

second act

Come on!

Talk to her!

Say something to her!

Now! Come on!

Are you all right?

Come on! Niklas,

talk to her! Now!

Hey, what’s wrong?

Come on,

come on! Stay!

Talk to me!

Are you completely out of your mind?

What?

Dude! She was awesome!

And she even wanted to help!

This could have been something! For sure!

Go and search her, now!

“NO ENTRY UNDER THE AGE OF 18!”

„ADULTS ONLY“

Wicked!

That’s where the wild women screw!

Wicked!

„AMERICAN PI“

So, you have seen me! Now it’s my turn to see you!

Take your clothes off!

Just chat her up!

Just chat her up?

Yes, man!

I guess the loser always wins in the end!

So?

I can’t be bothered anymore!

It’s all pointless anyway!

What is it?

I just can’t go on like this!

There’s no point!

Why can’t everything be okay for once? Why must I always fight? Why?

Yes!

Why do you suddenly agree with me?

Dude, I have a total crush,

but there is no way she would fall for me!

Am I not the one,

who can’t get off my backside!

I am the one who has this crappy life!

I am not imagining you for nothing!

Well,

maybe you do!

Then fuck off!

Just leave me alone and let me be miserable!

Yeah if only!

I can’t cope with your depressive crap anyway!

You have been pissing me off big time lately too!

You’re useless!

Dumbass!

Loser!

Retard!

Pussy!

Dumbass!

Stop it!

I think you should at least try!

Niklas, search her now!

Where is she!

Stop drawing!

Niklas!

Yes, look!

Come on! Search her!

Sit down! Come on, go back!

Come on!

You have to find her! Come on! Go back!

Hello?

Hello!

Aren’t you…

What’s your name, by the way?

Niklas

And? What are you doing?

I am here?

Often?

Yes, well…

no!

Where are you hanging out then?

At home

At home?

Yes!

Well, I was just heading to the Schiller Park!

Fancy joining me?

Nah, don’t think so.

Oh ok

what a shame.

Well, see you then.

Er, no!

I’m coming with you!

We were at the Woodstock Festival last year also.

But when was that…we headed there on Friday

and saw the Future Heads

and Juliette Lewis the same night and…

HELLO!

And..

On the third day, Guano Apes were headlining

and boy, you were not able to stand after that….

you were dancing and..

and with the next morning the sun comes into your tent

And do you have plans for the summer holidays yet?

Well, nah, we haven’t planned anything!

Are you still living with your parents?

Yes, I’m only 16.

Oh, you look much older.

Yes, a lot of people say that….

Hey, hey, hey!

Are you coming for a swim?

Ay? What’s the what?

Come on guys, let’s go!

Are you coming?

I don’t have a bike!

Ah, don’t worry about that!

Don’t you want to come in?

I don’t feel like it!

Hello, it’s almost 30 degrees!

Niklas!

I just don’t feel like it right now!

Well, then it is about time to find out why that is!

Really?

Come on, get in the water!

NO!

Hey guys! Someone doesn’t want to come in!

Guys, did you hear that?

Hey! Hey,

hey, hey! Come on,

guys, stop it!

Leave me alone!

Bloody bastards!

Fucking assholes!

What the hell!

Fuck! Man,

why, why me?

Fucking assholes!

That’s wasn’t neccessary!

Yes?

Mh, okay, okay, I’m coming!

okay, I’m coming!

How do you know that I…

Your mum..

My mum is a nurse too and she knows your mum.

And when I told her about you,

well she knew instantly who I am talking about.

So, you have problems?

It’s not a big deal that I know, is it?

Does it still hurt?

A bit!

I am so sorry!

I never planned for this to happen.

I thought this was all just fun!

Why don’t you want to go into the water?

I just don’t feel like deep water.

But

I like to go into my bathtub!

Don’t worry. You can tell me the truth!

Have you seen someone?

Yeah, but they didn’t find anything!

What are they supposed to find?

Well, that I am nuts or something!

We are all a bit nuts!

Maybe..

I had been seeing someone for two years,

and then I did not need to anymore.

My mum sent me

to her now ex-boyfriend.

But he is even crazier than me!

And did you find out what’s the deal with the water?

Yes!

So?

When I was little,

I had a twin brother.

And..

We had been swimming in the sea.

He wanted to swim out,

further and further out.

And then…

Well, that is probably the reason

why I am so scared of deep water.

And you didn’t feel like swimming since then!

It’s as if…

I am just happy that I don’t have to go in!

Okay, I see….

Hey Antje, Yes?

Hmm

Yes

Can I bring someone?

Mh, okay, see you, I’m looking forward to it!

Hey, are you up for a weekend in the village?

Is there a lake anywhere nearby?

Hey!

Maxe, Dude!

Great that you are here.

Hey,

I am so sorry

about what happened at the lake.

Don’t worry about it!

This is where the party is gonna take place!

Here you can crash!

And here, well here, you can do whatever you want!

Make out or whatever!

Have you been doing this for a long time?

Since I can think straight!

I guess you don’t trust yourself much!

Not sure!

What is it!

Are you not drinking?

Haven’t tried!

What?

Dude, what’s wrong with you?

Take a sip!

Dude, are you kidding me?

How come you don’t like beer?

Guys, he doesn’t like beer!

So what,

at least he doesn’t have a beery breath like you!

Come on, let’s dance!

I don’t feel like it!

Come on, I’ll show you!

I can't even dance!

Everyone can dance!

So, grade 10…

I was out and just looked fabulous!

And there were those three guys! Three hotties!

And so I was thinking:

Yes, woman – you are passing them now!

You look great, I’m all dressed up! Bring it on!

So I passed them

and all three looked at me

stared at my ass and I thought: Hell yeah!

And suddenly they started laughing!

I turned around

and just thought: Fuck!

There was toilet paper sticking at my back!

How embarrassing!

Ha, clean work!

Five points for that!

I have another story!

So I was in the third grade!

And there was this absolutely beautiful girl!

She was blonde and the prettiest girl in class.

I so wanted to impress her.

Well then, listen and learn!

I was in the third grade too!

Swimming lesson!

I was late as always and I thought:

Let’s hurry and not put on underpants.

Just wanted to be quick.

And then I was on my way

and I noticed

that I had forgotten my swimming trunks.

I had nothing with me,

but we had an assessment,

so I had to take part, with or without pants.

Naked

Life is playing tricks on you sometimes.

So, I had to jump in! And I was swimming around and my willy…

No way, you’re lying!

I am not buying that!

Why don’t you believe me?

You think I did not do it?

Come here, buddy!

I’m with you!

Let’s go!

Niklas,

you’re a great kisser!

I like you a lot!

Do you trust me?

Have you ever had sex with a girl?

I think

I want you

to be my first!

Niklas, what are you afraid of?

I don’t know!

What are you afraid of?

I think

I am afraid of life!

I always ask myself

why I had been born in the first place!

Don’t we all ask ourselves that?

I mean,

why am I here?

What’s the point?

You are meant to do good things in life!

What good things?

Niklas?

Yes?

For ages we plan to go to the Woodstock Festival.

I’m not sure.

But I’d be really happy if you came with us!

How many are we?

Well, we are just 20

but in gerneral 400 000?!

I’ll think about it!

And? Have you got everything?

If the offer for that sleeping place is still open..

than.. than yes.

Put up your sleeping place!

Are you looking for something?

Lotta!

She was looking for you.

But she is gone now. Left about half an hour ago!

Just wait for her here!

Oh, hi!

Who’s there?

The loser!

What am I supposed to tell you!

Do you want to know where Lotta is, or what?

Why should I tell you this?

Because I love her!

Of course, you love her!

And because you love her so much, you just go and screw another or what!

Dude, you are so disturbed!

You’re a freak!

Fuck off!

Wanker, asshole.

Hold on! Wait!

She wanted me to tell you that she is disappointed!

Where is she now?

Please..

Well, she obviously isn’t here anymore!

Where is she?

Some guy took her to Rostock!

She wants to stay there for two weeks.

Her parents are there too!

Ok.

Got it.

You are such a fucking retard!

We have nothing left! Nothing!

And you just run around like a headless chicken!

Stop blubbering!

You are such a fucking retard!

Fuck'n Wanker!

Fuck!

I’m thirsty!

I’m thirstier!

More!

We need to save this. Next chance to get more is at the station!

I am still thirsty!

No!

Have you lost your wallet?

God, you are so stupid!

This should not have happened!

Are you blubbering now or what?

Stop blubbering!

You are such a retard!

I just can’t take it anymore.

You can’t kill me!

You’re not brave enough!

Why are you doing this?

She won’t be there!

You are wasting your time!

Let’s go home!

If I’m not mistaken the next town is 10 kilometers away. Or do you want to go further than that?

Yes!

Where do you wanna go?

Baltic Sea!

Okay, get in!

There we are!

Okay, good luck. Maybe you’ll find her!

Oh, wait! Here!

Cheers! And thanks for the ride!

Of course, no problem!

Now what?

Do you want to look for her here or what?

Niklas, let’s go!

She’s not here!

And she won’t come!

Come on,

we don’t have anything to eat,

no place to stay

and it is getting dark!

Let’s just go!

thrid act

Niklas!

Not into the sea!

What are you doing?

Not into the sea!

Come on!

Please! Come on, don’t do that!

Don’t go any further,

not into the sea!

No, why? Come on, not into the sea….
