Whispers Behind the Wall (2013) - full transcript

Martin leaves his protective parents' home and comes to Berlin as a law student with high hopes. He finds a tiny, run-down flat in a strange, dark apartment block, from which the previous tenant has disappeared without a trace. Having no luck with social contacts at the university, Martin quickly falls for his mysterious landlady Simone, who lives just next door behind a thin wall. Hoping to find trust and intimacy, Martin loses himself in the house's disturbing world of sex and violence. Deep in the walls, Martin discovers the true horror of his first love.

Hello.

What are we going to do with Robert now?

I have to show you something.

"11:17 am Good morning, Simone."

"Why are you putting on
your alarm clock at nine,

if you do not hear it anyway. "

"But I'm not angry with you,
I love you."

"Your eyes,
your hair, your butt,

but the most
I love your smell. "

"You are my medicine,
my drug."

"I'm waiting for your coming."

Mrs. Schaffrat, good day.
- "Robert?"

Robert here, hello.
- "You?"

Is everything alright with you?

"I'm looking forward,
to hear your voice."

I am also pleased.

When did we last ...
- "I thought you were dead."

Why dead?

Yes.

The rest is for you.

As always.

Why did you think I was dead?

The devil,
he lurks behind the wall.

Oh, the pianist?

Watch out.

From the evil.

Mrs. Schaffrat?

I warned you.

Robert.

Look again.

Great.

Hello.

Oh...

The last time I'm sorry.

I am usually not like that.

Look...
You have the wrong ice cream cake.

You're shopping for the Schaffrat?
Yes.

She just likes tangerine cream.

Okay ... It was not ...
uh ... on the note.

Maybe you still have to learn

the wishes of a woman
to read from her eyes.

Wait a minute, please.

Do you want to see me again?

You want to see me again.

You want to see me again.

Stay tuned.

Then you can experience something.

Hello mum.

Why alien?

I did not use drugs.

Yes. Mom, please let me
Just relax!

Please let me
Just relax, I ...

Mummy?

Cuckoo.

You're welcome.

I'll be right in.

What's this?

You wanted to experience something?

Is this something like MDMA?
Better.

So...

Can not you do that
as a prospective judge?

Hm?
Actually, I have a university tomorrow.

How do you take that?

Wow...

Too much?

Simone?
Hm?

Do you do that
with all your subtenants?

What?

Did you sleep with Robert?

With Robert?

No, unfortunately not.

Why unfortunately?

I was told,
he has a very big cock.

Do you know what happened to him?

No. Why do you ask?

Robert was a sick asshole
and it's good that he's gone.

I could imagine, that
Sebastian has something to do with it.

Do you know what I believe?

You want to know,
why I sleep with you,

when I am with Sebastian
I'm together.

Because I like you.

Simone?

Aaah!

Do you want to kill me or what?
How do you get into my apartment?

I rang, are you deaf?
I took a shower!

And also
the bathtub is clogged.

How are you talking to me?

There is a package
arrived for you.

From mom.

What are you doing with Frau Bader?

I beg your pardon?

You already understood me.

That was me.

Nastrovje.
Nastrovje.

Robert.

"Dance?"

Come in, you dream dancer.

Where is Simone?
Not there.

You fell in love, huh?

We are not together anymore.

But that's no reason
to make you think about her.

Do you understand?
Yes.

You know,
what happened to Robert?

She has me with her
crazy, the bastard.

I can smell you,
and that's why I warned you.

Keep your hands off her,
while I'm still here.

You want to go?
What?

Do you want to leave?

Yes.

I'm going back to Cape Town.

Then you can with her
to be happy or not.

Your lodger,
we met by chance.

Have fun at the party, Martin.
OK.

Do you want to stay for dinner?

Not resist talking.

There's something going on.

And on love.

Okay, wait, I have it.

I have it.

Do I have a big cock?
Am I Robert?

I am Robert.
I knew it.

I knew it.
I have to talk to you, Simone.

Sebastian?
When are you going to Cape Town?

If you are in Cape Town,
Can I move to your apartment?

That would fit very well.
You can not rent them.

You jerk.

Cape Town?

Dance with me.

Dance with me.

But you dance with me.

I can not dance.
Of course, I'll show you.

Come on.
OK.

Dearest.

I hate you.

I depart.

I need a shower.

Shit!

"You have to hate me."

"I can not anymore."

"What are you and Horn planning to do?"

Robert.

Yes?
Mrs. Schaffrat?

It's me, let me in?

Who's there?
It's me.

Robert.
- You are not Robert!

You can not fool me.
You are the devil!

Stay away from me. Go away!

Soft!

What do you want here?

Can I talk to you for a moment?
I'll break your nose.

Before you answer me
'a question.

Simone is in something bad
pure fall.

How many times did you sleep with her?
That's no shit.

I think Simone and Horn
keep Robert trapped.

Robert is one with LSD
verballerter botched.

Not at all, that's ...
Answer my question.

How many times did you fuck her, huh?

If I tell you,
will you help me then?

Two, maybe three times.
And when for the first time?

As us
have seen the first time.

This slut!

This slut. I knew it!

I'll kill her.

And what about Robert now?
What? Robert?

Are you crazy?

I need a cognac.

Cuckoo.

Are not you excited,
to see me?

But.

Did you miss me?

What are you doing with the crowbar?

I had to get something,
which belongs to me.

Do not you want to ask me in?

I am tired.

Tired?

Well then.

You are so miserable.

Martin?

Come here!
You should not touch me!

It's just out.
I love you.

I love you.
I'm leaving today.

Where are my disks?
Open the door!

No way!

... what I own.

Simone?

Farewell.

My love.

Who are you?

Robert?

I am the new tenant.

And? Do you notice?

What?

I agree.

At the beginning,
You do not notice anything, right?

But listen to me deep inside.

Do you hear it? Can you feel it?

This city
does not feel healthy.

This city is sick.

and she is dirty.

I...

I was in India, my friend.

And here it is

and here

become incredibly pure.

Crap.

There was a bag.

I beg your pardon?

There was a sealed bag.
A bag?

Did you open it, friend?
Nope.

Are you lying to me, my friend?
You are not lying to me, are you?

I do not have your fucking diary.

If you do not have the bag
how did you know then,

that there was a diary in there?

I ripped open the bag
and have read your journal.

You are cursed.

You are damned!

You are all cursed.

Simone.

Hi Papa.

I'm fine, really good.

Uh-huh. I'm free today.

What are you saying?

I agree.

I'm still on it.

Really?

And what kind of apartment would that be?

What are you doing here?
That's what I ask you.

Excuse the noise.

Can I show you something?

You're the first one to see it.

Come on.

You hurt yourself?

Not bad.

I cut myself.

You have to wait here for a moment.

Come over.

And?

What's this?

A selfportrait.

What do you think?

Not!
It is not dry yet.

So say, how do you like it?

It is not finished yet.

What do you have?

Come inside me.

Calm.

Do you know where Sebastian is?

Cape Town?

I do not care.

Why did you tell him that?
with our first time?

That was the only time
that I cheated on him.

And Robert?

Forgive.

Maybe it's good
Sebastian hates me now.

It's hard to part,
if someone suffers like him.

How is it going?

Well ...

I have an application for
missed an important test exam.

That will be fine.
Everything will be fine.

Fuck me.

Watch out.
