The Angels' Melancholia (2009) - full transcript

Two friends meet again to share their last days in an old house where everything happened a long time ago. They gather a group of people, which results in a disastrous turn of events, during which reveals the deepest human depths.

Told is what actually was.
Told by whom, who actually existed.
And who still stayed amongst us when deceasing.

Where are you?

Katja?

Where are you?

I had a dream

Which was more than just a dream

The bright sun was extinguished

and the stars wandering, eclipsing in eternal space.

The people forgot their passions in the dread of their abandonment

and all hearts hardened to a selfish prayer of light

Look



Do you want something to drink

Welcome

The menu please

Have Fun

Have Fun

Thank you

It has been many years ago

and yet I still think back to those days...

that meant simultaneously the beginning and end of my being.

I mean you

I am out

What?

Prop up both arms

sights in line



no wiggling

Your turn

Bianca, he continues on his own. Come

Your fate, your fate for a few pennies

Cuba Libre, please

Happy here?

And one sparkling wine, please, ok?

Brauth, and?

Melanie

Solitude has many names

Bianca and Melanie, ok?

Well, then here is to Bianca

Let's go

Not everything is as simple as shooting cans

In a moment it may occur, never thought of in life

Come on, come on

Hello hello

Good evening, Brauth.

Hello Cindy

One Vodka Tonic, she takes a Cuba Libre, and she.. an orange juice

What's it for you? Also Cuba Libre?

Get back in

After you

My life had changed

or, less my life

rather did my sensation.

I felt a kind of inner emptiness

nothing which I could imagine

was, I though, in a position to fill this void.

Candlelight

Orange juice?

Vodka Tonic

Thanks

Cuba Libre

Thanks

Enjoy

Here's to you

I knew it would soon be the time.

We'll have to urgently convince one of them of her gender.

A gap is going to be made again.

Soon ... we would be back in that place,

at which everything had happened,

and of which I knew

it would mean fulfilment and destiny to me.

What's going on

it seems to me like I was already familiar with this area

oh that's a great sight

it was in this unholy book in our library

You amaze me with your knowledge

It surely plays a trick on the brain < / i>

But look at the horizon

What a sight

it is... I's got to be a mirage

Such peculiar shapes they are

guys like you, I not ???

Apparently, it is saying that this area is not made for us humans

and if it is true afer all? What then?

the shapes vanish

a strange wind

Do you hear the moans, do you hear it, too? Scary
Stop!

Do you think that it is the mirage of a real existing place

It's all weird. What a spawn of insanity

though I had a faint premonition of what we would find < /i>

Afterwards, life wasn't the same anymore for all of us

the constant fear was a part of our lives

Let go.

Give it to me

There are two guests, going in and out

as long as you live in this house,

They are called love and pain

you shall well receive them both

Top right, please

all the way right

Bedtime now

for all, come

a surly ass lets off no happy fart

again a night came down

on the ancient eternal earth

again became a darkness

in the agony filled dungeon abyss.

This morning I preferred the solitude and silence to my new company

I enjoyed the atmosphere of the beginning day

Now I was back here

where everything seemed so familiar to me

and yet it was all different

changed by the insight of that,

what was to come.

Will he come?

Rested pleasantly, I hope

Life is, to bear confidence in the heart during battle and storms

to never waver in hope,

to never quail in pain.

Ladies and gentlemen, may I ask you to the meal?

Again and again, we imagine the vision of Empedocles, of a golden age

when it was considered the greatest outrage

to rob lives

and to devour noble limbs

I'd be happy to be allowed to enter

I come

with company.

I knew you longed for it.

thanks

beautiful foundlings,

I gathered here for you.

Clarissa up here

carefully

girl

our friend Heinrich, a lovely and a great artist

for the pretty girl

here's to confidence

and then I realized

I was going to forget my worries and fears

and gradually feel a tense excitement about

what was to come.

always thinking about depopulation plans.

Silence

Peace

Time escapes us

Never is my cock so stiff,

the heart so hard,

as after an ample meal.

Friends of drunkenness

of gourmandism

of horniness

and cruelty.

Amen.

Hey, I, we know nothing about you and that...Katze.

and who is she in the back there?

plays absolutely no role

nobody is interesting in us

we don't care about the others

nobody will miss us

we are not there at all

this is true also for you

fuck you

I mean, what do you do in life, do you have plans?

Please

What's

What's yoyur name?

Bianca

what?

Bianca

how old are you?

16

who you are?

A fag

in this life

an messenger

from Another World

a traveler

an artist

and where have they got you from?

Melanie has persuaded me

I really should already be at home long ago

I'll get in mighty trouble

and you?

What are you doing?

Do you have any wishes, hopes?
No beliefs?

Alright, we know

you do good, love everybody

have wonderful plans for a cozy future

and believe in a life in divine paradise.

You did organise your life well...

when are you having the poor brats?

There is no life after this life.

I hope so

that'd be just what I needed.

She doesn't like them, men

and yet she depends on them

an accident?

Can she do not take a shit?

I have to cut sometimes.

but rarely

Please

more

Sunday usually is for our inspiration.

About this area, many strange things are reported.

There are confusing myths and legends.

We ot many disreputable spirited places here.

ghosts sleepers

Forest spirits are terrorizing

Sometimes a three-legged hare is seen at the Devil's Hole.

The headless horseman and the Wild Bunch, people here still believe in them.

Don't get too close to the Steelmill Devil.

and keep you away from the Fog Hole.

Beware of the little fiery gold miner, roaming the slopes of this mountain.

What's that sweet smell on this area?

Not far away, there's a site for carcass disposal.

Any animal carcasses from the surrounding cities are burned here.

That's the acrid smell that smoke lays across the country.

There are not many people here.

This factory is the largest employer in the area

Most men work there during the week.

Weekends they work in the fields.

There are simple people,

Maybe a little ignorant

raw.

You want out *there* now?

We want to a place where we were before, whenever we asked for quiet reflection.

I'm going to have fun alone

I'll see you tonight

suit yourself

If you find your way back

this time of year it is dark quickly

then it is not advisable...

We are on our way!

But *she* stays here!

It's late

what?

It's late

Here I've got all I need.

if you must go... then go

what is wrong with him?

He is unlike us

and he has not much time left.

once again I could not understand Brauth.

and I knew that, at the bottom of his heart, he could never really grasp me, too.

it was the volatility in his being

his action, which

already at that time had led to the fact
that our paths, at least temporarily, separated.

My path however was imperturbable.

Once a child, now a woman.

is he there?

Was it bad?

Yes, it was bad

but not as bad as then

stay back

Let oh world, oh let me be

Do not tempt with gifts of love

Let this heart have its delight, his pain, alone.

What I mourn, I do not know

It is unknown pains

always there through tear,s I see the sun light sweet

often, I am scarcely aware

the pure joy curbs through severity

thus oppressing me in my chest deliberately.

Something hurt?
Stay back

Let oh world, oh let me be

Do not tempt with gifts of love

let this heart alone have

its delight and its pain

why so hesitant?

Enter the temple of lust

The Lord is my Shepherd

...for His name's sake.

even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil

for Thou art with me

In the face

my life

the house of the Lord

keep my soul

not in there

no!

Years have passed

The morning came and went

came back...

... and brought no day

are you afraid of death?

At the edge of the forest, in long afternoons,
I can lie in the grass, listening to the bird.

The valley seems to leisurely cradle in full harmony quietude of its plaint.

it endorses me, and my worst plague, to submit to ugly faces of society

here it will finally not battle me, where I am at ease myself

and if the fine folks only thought just how poets beautifully waste their time

to me, they would at last...

What's going on out there

Never got out of the city, did you?

Brauth and me, we have already spent here many years.

a strange atmosphere in the area,
but we became one with it.

it's time to go to sleep

sleeping sweetly, cutie.

I have a headache

Shut up, you cunt

What to do, if your helper needs help himself?

fantasies are inspired,
carnal desires excited

half alive, she feels godforsaken

Pain does claim the soul much more than does delight

but the soul ascends to a higher level

Heinrich

such beautiful words you have just said

of the soul and such

I think I already like you very much

Heinrich

The philosophy of the people, my dear child

does not serve to console the weak.

It has the sole purpose of bringing justice to the spirit and to eradicate any prejudice.

stay well-behaved, girl.

I love you all very much.

you love the beauty

He behaves philosophically, just to fool the people

It is the garment of falsehood

one needs only the mantle of virtue, not virtue itself

and with this falsehood, the way for new dirty deeds is open

it will bring good luck to you

a greeting from your friend Heinrich

dear Heinrich is our problem child

for long

one of the island of the blessed

He himself will be his final work of art.

Heinrich is a good man

his last deed, a good one

Take this

I have to go to the toilet
Shut up

Eat. Take that, take it!

Come, come eat.
Eat this now!

Come on, come on. Come

Please!
Damn it, shut up!

Please.
Damn

In a country where a cripple has more rights than a proper man...

and you do not feel well yourself?

Forgive me for just now

come

Heinrich?

My girl

Do not worry.
The Apocalypse offers a spectacular play

the dead

I've heard the dead

voice

the voice of the dead

a child

Bianca, wait here

I'll have a look.

What was it?

A rabbit

a rabbit?
Go back to sleep

Then, I felt...

if I existed alone,

as the world consisted only in my imagination,

as if nothing were, except myself.

I...

I were the eternally damned,

Satan

Alone...

...with my tantalizing imaginations,

Alone...

...with my demanding imaginations.

I'm cold

Your kiss is poisonous like the bite of a spider.

You have never been in love?

May the gods protect me from such plagues.

Is there a worse slavery on earth?

I go wherever I want, and stay where I like it.

...and what about Katze?

Do you know each other for long time?

Long time

Pain does claim his soul much more than does delight

That's what Heinrich has got.

Although Katze is capable of all debauchery of the mind,
pure his heart did remain.

and Heinrich?

We've already had that, right?

Heinrich is happy

the Afterlife is for him the paradise

a long past state, brilliantly he can retain

Well, nothing more to say

Doesn't he get along in life?

His life is art!

I am so hot

Pull up your skirt

Spread your legs

very slowly

These will be the last hours in which I can be with you.

Are the heinrich's pictures on the wall?

His extreme art has never gained recognition.
Now it's too late for him.

My body is alone

no nerves

no heart, no brain, no blood

no chest, no stomach,
no gut, no cunt.

My whole body is rotten

Just skin and bones of the unorganised body remain with me.

no soul, no God, no devil, no existence

nothing exists around me
I 'm completely alone.

Of no natural death will I be dying.

sentenced to eternal life,
a terrible punishment

the eternally wandering

ust my excrement give me a feeling of security and unspeakable warmth

Afterwards, life wasn't the same anymore for all of us

For a part of our lives

bringing back the daylight which could mean the end of the world

I don't want to conceal from you what indescribable things we have seen in these mountains.

This mountain of madness.

Like before, I noticed that ominous effect

which this area and this house had on us.

take

my kitten

come

come on

ok, and now you.

Melanie, beware!

so you can also enjoy all this.

Melanie , run!

to the door

Melanie!

Melanie!

Get up

come

Don't go in there, Melanie.

Melanie

We need to get out of here.

Do come, please

Melanie

wake up

What do I care about what somebody defies,

what he despises,

what he has done.

He is human, and therefore weak

He is the criminal, and therefore unhappy

I feel sorry for him.

Katze?

Katze!

Return from an eternity

I experienced a loneliness

such as it couldn't be larger

completely separated from the rest of humanity

time streched

space expanded

A distrust towards all worldly things,

also toward men, occured

Cursed was I, to stride through ruthless vastness

affected by a holy severity

a deep solemnity moved me

an excess of beauty

I spoke with the stars

unimaginable bliss

Darkness

demonic shadows reach for me

I'll never get rid of these feelings

go

put it in.

Look, Snow White finds all this disgusting.

Then puke, go on and puke!

Stick your shitty finger down your throat

come on, come

damn it, puke

then just like that, puke!

Puke

He is not a bad person

I felt that I had gone too far inmy debate with Heinrich.

On the other hand, thought of it as a good sign

finally escaping the years of lethargy, through the awakening of my temperament

at least one last time

Are you with the spirit?

Rejoice in hope, amen.

You are astonished, girl, aren't you?

As simple as that

Soon I will be a part of your life, little girl

Soon I will be an integral part of your biography

in importance only behind your parents...

who brought life to her.

Run, girl!

use the headstart

three-and-a-half minutes

And I felt the hopelessness had given way to a serenity.

Sserenity...

which allowed me to do things...

that still had to be done.

All evanescent is but a parable.

The inadequate, here it's happening.

The indescribable...

here it's done.

The eternal feminine...

pulls us down.

Brauth?

Please don't

peaceful

We take him to the monastery

If the individual who wants to dissolve, will be dead...

the elements, of which it is composed,...

will still have their place in the universe...

and will still be useful to the large machine, as before...

when they still composed the said being.

Down, down, down, down I fall

down, down, down, down I fall

down, and arise I never shall.

Whether this person is alive or dead,

nothing changes in the universe

and nothing gets lost.

Psychological counseling

We dedicate this artistic rework to the victims of the events
- as far as known to us -
as well as to Katja I., and her nameless child.
