Barefoot to the Neck (2009) - full transcript

Would you answer me

if I asked a question, Jakob?

What's going on with him lately?

-Leave him alone.
-Why?

I just want my son to answer
when I talk to him.

Is that too much to ask?
Am I some cruel dictator?

No of course not.

Then why isn't he talking to me?

He is going
through a difficult period.

A difficult period?
Well, I am too.

-But do I take that out on him?
-Stop it now.



What does he take me for?
Is that pure provocation?

Or not?
Am I just an old fool?

-No.
-Then why are you laughing?

Sabine, say something to him.

Remember to be back home
on time, Jakob!

Jakob!

BAREFOOT TO THE NECK

My parents are pretty normal.

But why will I never
understand them?

I guess it has something
to do with the past.

In East Germany,
there was the socialists...

and there was a second
major party, the FKK.

CLOTHING PROHIBITED

Dear friends,
our property has been sold.



Hey darling.
Is everything okay?

What will happen
now with the sale?

Your father will do what is best.
This is our life.

How will this affect us?

This is going to be tough
on Helmut.

And to you?

I don't want to interrupt.
I just came to bring the sock collection.

Thanks.

Have you ever stopped to think that it would be
an opportunity to move from here?

There's such a big world out there.
Maybe you forgot.

Nobody forgot, Jakob.

We are the oldest
nudist colony in Germany.

And we're proud of it.

-We like it here.
-Yeah...

Can you really sell meat
without wearing clothes?

Oh, come on now, Jakob.

-Is it the meat for the barbecue?
-Yeah.

You will come, right?

-Funny.
-Is it?

It's a long-standing tradition.
We don't embarrass anyone there.

And I didn't mean to be funny.

You like fairytales, Helmut.

Those aren't stories, Jakob.
Your father has been through it all.

He's heard my story before,
but it doesn't really get through to him.

Exactly.

-He must have something else on his mind.
-Don't start again.

Why does he have to be
like that to me?

Do you really think you're
the only one who's had a rough time?

Don't forget
to come to the party.

I would like you to show up.
Okay?

Helmut said you have to get
naked or go home.

Are you a cop or something?

No, I'm your sister.
And you always have to spoil everything.

I'm not doing it.
You should rebel too.

Thanks.

- Are you okay, Rosa?
-Yeah.

It's music time.
Listen...

Yes...
Come on, dance!

I don't understand why they
sold the place.

Why can't this place
be owned by the people?

People's property?
That ceased to exist centuries ago.

Today it's all about profit.
The hunting ground alone is worth a fortune.

Still a hunting ground...

How low can you sink?
Killing animals for fun?

Do you know anything
about the buyer?

Will it be that bad?

Even worse...

Come on, tell us.

His name is Lohe.
Dieter Lohe.

Doesn't sound bad.

He comes from Munich
and is about 40 years old.

That's good,
my age.

Uwe, say something too.

He is a Democrat,
and Catholic.

Practicing.

And now comes the most important thing:
he is an industrialist.

A textile manufacturer.

So he does
cutting and sewing?

So what?

1,730 acres. You won't find
that anywhere else.

I found it through the
Land Management and Preservation auction.

Yes...
It's good land.

And it's a bargain.

Don't worry,
it's not loaded.

Sorry, Lara.
I haven't hunted in so long.

You haven't forgotten.
It's like riding a bicycle.

The opening of the new branch
in Frankfurt is in 20 hours.

Katherin, what color is that?
Show me something new.

And what is this?
Stripes, stripes, stripes...

Don't know how to create anything else?
We'll see if it's worth what you get.

I have adjusted your calendar so
you don't forget the birthday tomorrow.

Who's birthday?
My daughter is turning 18.

-And you'd forget that?
-Yeah...

It's necessary to set
priorities, isn't it?

You said it.
We'll be back tomorrow night.

Logical, of course...

Give it to me here.
Those are beautiful...

It's also good...
good, good...

I have a flower arrangement
ordered for your daughter.

I said I would go there.

Sure, sure.

Good job.

That's pretty light.

This one is especially
suitable for ladies.

Lara, cancel
my trip to Frankfurt.

-What? We would...
-Cancel.

And, my daughter...
will be happy.

Happy birthday, Natalie!

It's not that far.

Get out everyone!
Get out! Right now!

Guys, that's just my dad.

What are you doing?
What if the neighbors see?

Would they rape me if they did?

You threatened my guests
at gunpoint, Dieter.

To you I am still "father",
you hear?

I thought they were burglars.
It happens, sorry.

Just throw another party.

Have several, but no strippers.
And I'll pay again.

-What do you think?
-I'm tired, I'm going to sleep.

I just wanted to tell you...

I bought it, that shotgun.

Nice, isn't it?

You'll never go to
the hunting ground anyway.

We are going together.

There is a beautiful lake
with a private beach.

And then what?
Are we going to build sandcastles?

Like old times...

It would be fun.

Goodnight.

I know our relationship
isn't the best.

I work a lot.

But I promise I'll take
a few weeks off.

Too late, Dieter.

I'm 18, I'm closing the door.

You are not 18 yet.

Now she's 18, yeah...

Happy Birthday, Natalie...

You have school.

Helmut, what do you want?

Is that what you want?

Leather.

I guess everyone should experience
sexuality in their own way...

Even if it is actually
against nature.

If you want to say something,
just say it.

You know there are people
who can only reach orgasm...

when their whole body
is covered in latex...

and they have to breathe
through a straw.

Those are
teen movie costumes.

They are normal costumes.

What do you think
about skin contact?

That's real sex, isn't it?

Don't you think that's normal?

I want to take a shower, okay?

Good Morning.

You can bring a girl here.

Here?

Yeah.

Good Morning!

Steiner, good to see you.

I'm not sure,
but isn't that your mother?

How are you?

Are you going to spend the entire
vacation not talking to me?

This isn't a vacation,
we're pretending it is.

You'll spend a few days with me,
and then you'll have your own apartment.

Complete with everything
you need.

Honey, that's a great gift.

We're a good team.

At least we were
in the past.

These will be unforgettable days.

I promise you.

It must be here.

Where is everyone?

There's no one.

Maybe they
don't show up until midnight.

Maybe they're in Bavaria
or Baden-Wurttemberg.

There's no work here...

Hey, there's someone.
I will ask him.

Stop him.

Are you crazy?

Hello...

Are you okay?

What was it?
Did you get hurt?

Are you injured?

He swallowed his tongue.

We are looking
for a hotel.

He didn't hear...

Em...

I will show you...

Your father?

My rich old lover.
We are traveling together.

But instead of going to Rio
or the Cote d'Azur...

we thought, why not stay
among the rabbits?

Rabbits...

Original, isn't it?

Thank you, German unification.

What kind of hotel is this?

A communal bathroom
in the hallway...

Are there no
other accommodations?

I'm sorry.

Please, for you.

Thanks.

-What now?
-I'll find something.

Isn't there a sports club
around here, in the wild?

Maybe there's a campsite,
then we can spend the night there.

On a campsite?

You would like to spend the
night in the great outdoors?

Is there something wrong with that?

You don't look like the type.

You seem pretty conservative.

Boring... you mean.

Only my standards are
conservative.

And that's good.

I love sports.
Super cool.

You don't understand.

-All the territory is mine.
-What? Are you the new owner?

I haven't introduced myself yet.

Lohe.
Dieter Lohe.

She is my daughter.

Okay.

Yes, you take this street.

Then turn right
to the end and turn left...

-Then keep straight.
-Thank you.

What do you think?
Shall we eat something first?

Whatever...

"Whatever".

What is it, Jakob?

Don't you have to
go to school?

-The new owner has arrived.
-Here?

Yes, and he thinks this
is an ordinary campsite.

Seriously?

-With clothes?
-Yeah.

Man...

It is so hot.

The new owner is here.

-What?
-Yeah...

Mr. Lohe doesn't know
we're nudists.

Didn't you tell him?

What's he like?

He's quite conservative.

But we are nudists.

And we will continue to be.

Right, he can't do anything.

I wish it were that simple,
Conny.

The question really is:
"New owner...

can you cancel
our lease?"

-Yeah.
-Is that right?

What can I say...
The guy can kick us out.

Don't stay in here like this.
He will soon be here with his daughter.

If he sees you like this,
this place is finished.

-What do you suggest, Jakob?
-Sorry, I meant well.

Thank you for the warning, Jakob.

But we need
constructive ideas.

Socke, discuss something about
the philosophy of nudism.

Uwe, you talk to him
about the finances.

Then he will see that we always
pay the fees on time.

Sabine, pour the coffee.
This creates a relaxed atmosphere.

Good.
Any other ideas?

There's nobody here.

Wait a moment...

-You answer.
-But I'm not decent.

Jakob, that's not funny.

Then do something yourself.

Let's hide.

He'll think we're normal.
Do you like what he thinks is normal?

Sorry, he works
in the textile industry.

This has nothing to do with it.

I don't think that's so bad.
It's a very good idea.

How so?
What do you mean?

Jakob is right.

He will never accept
our way of life.

-Pardon?
-We've already lost the Baltic Sea.

There are almost no more
FKK reserves left.

We'll hide
until Mr. Lohe goes away.

Well, here I am again.

Do you like outdoor sports?

Haha. "Jakob's Sports Club".

This way.

Can you please get out of the car?

Nice view, isn't it?

This is the club house.

Hello.

Helmut,
that's called underwear.

So what?
Are my balls hanging out?

-Who is he?
-Shut up, okay?

How is the sports club doing?

-The what?
-The sports club.

We are not a sports club.

But we'd like to create one,
it's true.

How so?

Because we are free-thinking
libertarians, therefore...

As my husband says,
we have always been libertarians.

And it was always difficult
to fit in with those outside.

I understand.

My husband was a blacksmith at the
metal foundry nearby.
We used to come here on vacation.

But when Helmut lost his job...

we came to live here
because we couldn't

survive on my
salesperson's income.

Here you can always enjoy
the fresh air, right?

-Enviable.
-Yeah.

Yes it's true.

Well then...

Nice to have met you.

-Do you have to go already?
-Excuse me?

I would like to go to my room.

Yes, they want to spend the night here.
Didn't I tell you?

With us here?

I don't usually do that.

But since I'm the owner,
I thought...

Or is that a problem?

Great, then I can go hunting from here.

And I have something
nice in store for you.

Who will show us the way?

Uh...

No, I think it's better
this way.

Better? Are you crazy?
We'll regret this.

No, Helmut, wait a minute.

If they go to a hotel...

How long will it take for them
to discover who we really are?

-Exactly.
-"Exactly"...

You're joking.
This is a bunker, not a holiday home.

Come on. It's a vacation cabin.
Cool, huh?

We'll sleep here tonight anyway.

And tomorrow we'll go hunting together.
That's gonna be so cool.

What a pleasant surprise.

I'm going for a walk.

Mmm, thank you.

At the dance, none of the boys
wanted to dance with me.

I think I'm ugly.

Nonsense.
Not at all.

Then what's wrong with me?

I don't know, Rosie.

Maybe they have to get to know you
before seeing your bare breasts.

-What's wrong with my breasts?
-Nothing. Your breasts are fine.

Natalie is pretty, isn't she?

Are you afraid to tell me
you like her?

Hey Rosa.

Your brother made
us just like him.

Instead of sending them away, we
all have to wear clothes. Unbelievable.

Look, this hurts.

There's a splinter in my hand...

You smell nice.

You know, you work way too much.

Other girls your age
go to the disco...

go party
with their friends...

-Should I speak to Helmut?
-No, that's not necessary.

If you have any problems,
if there is anything wrong...

you know you can always
come to me, right?

By the way,
I will be the DJ again at the next party.

Are you coming?

Nice.

Damn, I thought I
brought my swimming trunks.

I'll go to the store.
I'm sure I'll find something.

I'll be back.

Helmut,
what are you doing?

Put on some pants before
Dieter and Natalie walk by.

They're on vacation, they
must still be sleeping.

Hi Dieter.

One...

Two...

Mr. Lohe is coming.
Come on, hide.

-Hello.
-Hello.

What can I do for you?

I'm looking for
a swimsuit.

A swimsuit?

We're sold out, unfortunately.

Jump in the water naked,
no one will notice here...

Funny.

-Or swim in your underwear.
-No...

Red suits you well.

Thanks.

What is it actually?

You... well...

-Good morning, Socke.
-Good Morning.

-Helmut...
-Hello.

Sit down.
Want a cup of coffee?

Another coffee.

What's that doing there?

I bought it from your wife.
She said it is an egg cozy.

I didn't realize you
had trouble here with cold eggs.

Do you make those yourself?

Those are from me.
Pure organic cotton.

Helmut,
can I have a word with you?

In a moment. I want to talk
to Mr. Lohe first.

Do you like it?

Are you saying "you" already?

I am Dieter.

This is my first
vacation in 10 years.

-Unbelievable, isn't it?
-Yeah...

You have a nice shirt.

I bought a similar
one at a fair in Leipzig.

It said: "We are one people."

But I'm not good with dialects.

This is our club shirt.

-Nice.
-Do you want one. I can get you one.

-No, that's not necessary.
-But still...

I have enough.

What's that on your back?
"FKK"?

Yes... Dieter,
I was meaning to say...

What does that stand for?

Hadn't you noticed?
FKK...

But it says "nudist" on it.

What does that mean?

In Portuguese it means
"Free Golf Club", Dieter.

You should rename your club.
That could cause confusion.

What do you think of nudism?

Repulsive.

What did you want to talk to me about?

It's not that important.

Thanks.

-Do you also want a dress?
-No.

Think of Italy.

I feel like shit.

Look at me.
I look like a trained monkey.

- You look good.
- Not at all.

And you...
Look at yourself.

Sabine, we need to face
this differently.

Excuse me...

There's still something there.

-Hi, I'm Karl.
-Hello.

You have to fully stretch.

Is this good?

Yes, that's good.

Hey, Karl...

Natalie, how are you?

-I'm all right.
-What are you doing?
Teaching her how to fly?

What do you think?

You fooled me!
Damn!

-I'm coming after you.
-Hey, Karl...

I like her, you know?

Yes, me too. Cool girl.

Thank you, friend.

You're out of luck.

Asshole.

What do you think of Conny?

Conny?

Yes, he looks at me
like that and...

Sorry,
I can't talk right now.

Do you really want to come
with me to the dance tonight?

Okay, it was just a joke.

Will you stay in your room
while I get dressed, Dieter?

Do you always worry
about your privacy?

And call me "father".

I'm ready.

-Drinks!
-Thank you, Jakob.

Hello Jakob.
Thanks for the invitation.

-Will you grant me the first dance?
-No.

You might like to dance with me.

Sorry, but my daughter and I
want some time together.

-I do not want it.
-Anyway.

Our son is really in love.

Yeah, but that's why we
have to play dress up?

Forget about that for now.

Our son is a real orator.

I can't believe you haven't said
anything about my dress, Helmut.

I like it, but I'd be
happier if I could take it off.

Yes, this is a great song!
For the real lady killers!

Who wants a sausage?

I'll get some drinks.

-Hey...
-Hi...

-Your father won't leave you alone
for a single minute, will he?
- He's acting overprotective.

I still have 72 hours to build
a father-daughter relationship.

-How so? What happens then?
- Then I'm leaving.

And then he'll never see me
again.

What about your mother?

-Is she dead?
- Excuse me?

Is that rum and Coke?

-Would you like one?
-Thanks.

Let's get out of here.

Sorry.

Lohe is a good dancer, isn't he?

Lohe?

A good dancer?

Not at all.

He's ridiculous.

How many hours do I have
to dance with Dieter...

so you can have a chance
with his daughter?

How nice of you.

Should I continue?
I'll go back right now.

You're drunk... and having fun?

Yes I am.

It happens so rarely
that I hardly know what it's like anymore.

Did she run off?

She left with Karl.

He's so good looking,
my God!

Thank you, now I feel
much better.

Sorry, sorry...

There is no better guy
in the world than you.

Give her a little more time
to see your qualities.

Why don't you talk to me anymore?
We used to talk about everything.

We even talked about the girls.

Well...

I have so many questions
in my head...

I can try to answer some.

There is an important one:
"When will this end?"

You already told me about
the birds and the bees.

And how beautiful it is that you
and dad love each other so much.

Yes it is...

You even walk around naked.

Sometimes I don't
even know where to look.

Sorry, Sabine,
but that's where it belongs.
A child does not care.

I'm sorry about that, Jakob.

When you say it like that,
it sounds so absurd.

But we meant well.

We just wanted to move freely,
and at least feel free.

Don't worry, I'm not preaching.
I leave that to your father.

Helmut is the
bravest man I know.

I wish you knew him like I used to.

How annoying...

I cannot tolerate this.

Damn clothes.

I'm checking to see if the
coast is clear.

I always have to go
on business trips abroad...

After this vacation,
I'm going to New Zealand.

New Zealand?
So it's not just Europe?

Okay, coast is clear.

Good Morning.
Wake up!

It's a beautiful day.
Wake up.

Good Morning.

Good Morning.

What's going on here?

What are you doing?

- Water gymnastics.
-Come on...

Come...

-Dieter, have a seat, do you want coffee?
-No thank you.

There must be a misunderstanding.

My friend said that he was
alone and wanted to warm up.

Naked. He was standing
there stark naked!

I saw it myself. He stood there
and also made obscene movements!

Did he not?

Don't make such a fuss about it, Dieter.
Please.

Don't call me "Dieter"!
I am your father!

Can you for once at least
be less arrogant...

and speak normally to me,
please.

I insist that there be
consequences.

Otherwise,
you must leave here.

Come on!

-I think they should go.
-No.

You have to explain to him,
say something.

This is absurd.

With clothes hanging!

What should I do?
Kneel before him and beg?

Perhaps Jakob has another brilliant idea?

They can leave.

He says this because
of Natalie and Karl.

-Fuck them, I don't care.
-Jakob!

I don't know...

Can you temporarily ban Uwe?

Yes, that's a good idea.

Thank you.

Just to satisfy the formalities.

How can you ask that?

No, no.

No way.

Helmut...

It's alright.

We no longer live in the Middle Ages.
He doesn't own us.

Come on, Helmut,
I know that too.

It was a club violation.

Every sports federation has
its own committee.

But we are not a club.
We are free thinkers, damn it.

And we still have
to go through with this circus.

Hello everyone.

Stand up.

Dear friends...

We are gathered today...

to vote on
Uwe Hofer's suspension.

Until later...

For freedom.

Come on, Helmut.
It ended all right.

Yeah, but I feel like a traitor.

-And I hate that.
-I didn't force you to do anything, okay?

Don't start again.

-Hey guys.
-Hey.

-I thought we were going to eat something.
-In a moment.

I wanted to congratulate you,
Helmut.

For what?
What's the reason?

For the determination with
which you led the meeting.

I don't want to offend anyone,
but...

you're not exactly
popular for your initiative.

In most
organizations in the west

we follow one of
the biblical principles:

"Nothing seen, nothing heard, but...

Our Heavenly Father
listens anyway."

Well...

I suppose the east also has
its advantages.

Like what?

Less traffic?

Sex... in the east
they have sex more than we do.

-Are you trying to embarrass me?
-That's not a problem, is it?

Here in the east, sexuality
is not taboo.

Here we don't have that double standard...

like sneaky posters with nudity.

No, we don't have that prudishness.

Helmut...

Tell me, why don't
you call him "father"?

Free Market Economy ...

How can the body be a commodity?

-Could you explain that?
-Helmut, please...

You are absolutely right.

-Pardon?
- You are absolutely right.

Will you eat with us?

Rosie, set the table
for two more, please.

I mean, sex is present
everywhere these days.

I wonder what that does
to our youth.

With us it's much better.
Isn't that true, Sabine?

For us, sexuality is
something completely natural.

We've done it more than twice,
put it that way.

Isn't that cliche?

No, we love
it in the east.

What is more beautiful
than birding?

Can't you keep these
comments to yourself?

Sorry, but a healthy sex
life is fundamental.

Isn't that right?

Dieter can't talk about that.

What do you mean?
And call me dad, okay?

Can we have a
normal conversation now?

This is a normal
conversation, Jakob.

-Do you have to argue again?
-No.

Well, who wants
the last sausage?

The last sausage...

I thought the west had
no sense of humor.

Hey.

Hello.

Can you give me a hand?

Here.

Thanks.

Does Dieter know
about this place?

-I don't think so.
-Great.

This will be the longest
72 hours of my life.

What is that?

That's The Hulk.

My mother is not dead.

She is divorced.

Aren't they both?

Vera is divorced...

from her second husband.

Dieter and Vera
were never married.

Why did you
stay with your father?

That is unusual.

Being a mother is not for Vera,
she is very chaotic.

-She even forgets my birthday.
-Seriously?

But my friends don't see
their mothers that often either.

And when they see them,
they fight.

I'm actually glad she's
gone for good.

Your father is normal at least.

You think so?
What's wrong with your father?

Well, he interferes with everything.

He worries, so to speak.

And you think
that's a bad thing?

Natalie...

Natalie!

Natalie, I've been
looking everywhere for you.

I spoke to the guys at the bar.
They're keeping it open longer.
Will you come?

-Yeah.
-Good.

Jakob, you have to get up
early tomorrow, right?

So, Dieter, tell us...

Why don't you have sex?

-How do you know that?
-Isn't that what Natalie just said?

You shouldn't listen to Natalie.
I don't tell her everything.

She immediately concluded
that I don't have sex.

-So then, do you have sex?
-Helmut, leave him alone.

I'm not used to this
kind of conversation at the table...

I haven't been in a steady relationship
for a long time.

That is a fact.

Why? Can't you find a wife?

Yeah, but because of all
the stress with Natalie...

women walk away.
They run away.

And now I've given up on having
a new family.

And now your daughter
throws herself at boyfriends.

And you are left alone.

Poor soul.

Poor I am not, Helmut.

- Slow down, please...
- What is this?

-Take it easy.
-Okay.

I have a condom with me.

What are you saying?

I want to sleep with you...

What do you think?

You only want one thing, don't you?

You didn't think to ask
if I actually want to?

-Leave her alone, Karl.
-Stay out of this, Jakob.

Leave her alone.

Get out of here!

Go to bed.

-Did you hear that?
-Yeah.

Shit.

Helmut, can you at least
not throw me out on the street?

What can I do?
Dieter left me with no choice.

For freedom.

Well, shall we go hunting?

Then we can discuss our
rental agreement.

You know, I get upset
with myself.

I always fall for the
same type of guys.

All they want is to have me
as a trophy on the wall.

You're so damn beautiful too.

Nobody sees that.

Nonsense.

You didn't look at me
the other day when I undressed.

Did I not look?

-Sorry.
-For what?

Because you are different
from the others.

I like that.

-Yes, we did.
-Really?

I don't know. Actually,
she was my best friend here...

but suddenly she didn't
want to know me anymore.

What can I say?
We had sex and then it was over.

But was it nice? Well?

It was okay...

What did you want to hear then?
It was nice, it was very good.

Well...

Have you had sex often...

after the first time?

No...

I really have to feel something for
a girl before I sleep with her.

Sweet. You are such a romantic.

Unbelievable.

Have you ever served
in the military?

I was in a
construction battalion.

-A pioneer?
-No, I was against that.

I didn't fire a gun.

You don't know how lucky you are.

This is a great
hunting ground...

for so little money.
This is only possible in the east.

Maybe I should
congratulate you.

Not so loud.

What...

My property or public property,
who cares?

I mean, you have customary law here.

Look...

Is it a deer?

-No.
-I got her...

Heavens...No!

What are you doing?
Are you crazy?

What?

My God...

You are awesome.

"I don't shoot.
I'm a pacifist."

I don't believe a word of it.

From that distance,
and freehand!

That's class.

Are you sure
you weren't a sniper?

Very funny.

Well, I give you credit,
my friend.

An old custom, you must cut out the heart
of the first shot game.

Are you crazy?
What do you take me for?

It's bad enough we killed this animal.
And now I have to cut it open!

No!

-Helmut...
-No, I'm serious.

My foot...

-Pardon?
-Pull it out, will you?

You're kidding me.

- Dieter, I'm going to throw up.
-Remove it first.

Hey Rosa...

Aren't you late for school?

Where is your brother?

-You want me to take you there?
-I'm fine.

Have fun.

Doing my military service
under the arms of this fucking country...

that was just impossible for me.

Okay.

But you know what the worst part is?

People forget how it was before.

My own son doesn't care.
He doesn't care.

I've told my daughter
what I went through...

that I raised her alone,
since she was a baby...

and the company I inherited from my father,
but she won't even listen.

It all makes me so exhausted.

When the east and west separated,
it all went wrong.

I couldn't find work anywhere.

Yes, I'm glad the wall is gone.

Yes, now we can work again.

But my profession no longer exists.

Isn't it ironic?

Poor soul...
Have another drink.

Dieter, to your health.

We're not really going to eat that?
Are we?

-Absolutely.
-Of course.

Sabine, this is especially for you.

Thank you very much.

Thanks to Dieter,
I became a man today.

Not that that means much.

You like staying
with us, don't you?

Certainly.
I love families.

Despite the eternal bickering?

That is completely normal, isn't it?

Try to convince Jakob of that.

He always acts like we are
his bad karma...

that he has to face
in his life.

Would you like to go to the lake?

Is that good?
Good...

Ah, thank you.

Tell me, Helmut...

Your children and you...

you can get along
very well together.

We also have
our problems.

How so?

Just like that...

How much time do you spend
with Natalie?

Everything okay?

Absolutely.

When I was born, my mother
was as old as I am now.

18 years old?

She left me
when I was a baby.

And then I didn't hear from her
until a few years ago.

Really?

I never understood why
she didn't want me...

I never even wanted to ask.

I convinced Vera not
to terminate the pregnancy.

I loved her so much.

But I also wanted to be a father.

You did your best.

No...

Well, maybe...

A little.

But after Vera left...

the feeling disappeared too.
But despite everything, I still believe...

that Natalie and I were
very happy at the time. Just us two.

It was the two of us against
the world.

We had fun and laughed a lot.

I don't know what happened.

Work.

The success.

I wish I had gotten
my red card sooner.

Sometimes I
would like to go back

a little in time, you know?

Take off your clothes.

-What?
-I know it would do you good.

No, it's not
what you're thinking.

You are rigid.

No I'm not.

Your muscles are totally tight.

So, what shall it be?

Ayurveda, Shiatsu, Yumi Yumi?

Like this...

- Dude, your hands are ice cold.
-You're all cramped.

Hey, Steiner...

When can I come to your house?

I want to see your mother.

Does she have a really tight ass?

Tell me, Helmut.

One thing I don't understand...
What do you actually live on?

What do you mean, Dieter?

-What do you mean?
-How do you make money?

With membership fees, of course.

-And how do you get new memberships?
-What does it matter?

Do we have to do
market research now?

You think
you know everything, but...

I just want to say that you
don't even have a proper sign.

How do people know you're here?

Or is there not enough money for it?

I can finance you. A new road sign
can attract new people.

-Dieter...
-Relax.

I mean, what are we now?
Business partners...

Friends...

Or not?

I'll see you at dinner.
I'll bring the beer.

Excellent.
Thanks.

Don't forget we have
to discuss the lease later.

Sure.

I have to tell him.

Shit.

Shit. Can you take me to school?
I have a flat tire.

-Problems?
-No, no problem.

Rosie, get in.
I'll quickly put on something else.

I'll drive her.

I have to go into town anyway.

-I'll take Rosa.
-No, thank you.

Okay, that's practical.

Daddy, I...

-Bye, Rosie.
-See you later.

Daddy?

-Alright, Rosie...
-Don't call me Rosie.

Only my family calls me that.

Sorry, I thought
you might like to hear that.

What should we do?

Shall we go shopping?

I'll buy you a new dress.

A sexy lipstick...

Or a bikini...

No, thank you.

Skip school,
I won't say anything.

Why are you so
angry with me?

I just want to make
my sweetheart happy.

I'm not your sweetheart.

Anyway...

Rosa, come back here, now.

Don't be ridiculous.

Or shall I tell your father
you prefer to walk?

No problem.

What if I go to Dieter Lohe
and tell him the whole truth?

Is that just my problem?

Rosa, listen to me.

You'll be nice to me if you don't want to
get your family in serious trouble.

My God,
how complicated everything is.

Helmut, pull yourself together.

I have to tell him,
but I don't know how.

Hey, Rosie...

Here I am.

What about Conny?

I ran away from him...

He'll tell Dieter everything.

No...

I would like to say that this
contract is merely a formality.

Fine.

Dieter, before we begin,
I need to...

Thank you very much.

Dieter.

Don't say anything, you bastard!

You motherfucker, motherfucker...

Jakob, Jakob...

If you think you can blackmail us,
you're wrong!

-And keep your hands off my sister!
-What happened to Rosie?

-He was going to rape her.
-What nonsense is this?

All nonsense.
You lie to everyone!

And you don't even realize it!

-Me?
-Yeah.

-What am I missing?
-Our freedom is the "FKK".

-Yeah, so?
-Jakob...

-We're nudists.
-Yeah.

Yes, I'm a nudist.
I admit it.

Do you get it now?

Get out. I don't ever want to
see you here again.

So you've been deceiving us
from the start...

Am I mistaken?
Was it all theater?

Yeah...
I mean, no.

Sorry, Dieter.

What should I do now?
Should I go to jail?

Come on...

Natalie...

Do you find this funny?

I don't find it funny.

I thought we were friends.

Hey Steiner, how
are the naked ones?

He won't talk to us.
We're not good enough.

Hey man, take off your clothes!

CLOTHING PROHIBITED

Do you know what I ask myself?

If we had told him right away...

perhaps he would have accepted it
after all?

Sorry, I just wanted to help.

Did you?

What's upsetting you? Hey.

You have always been
ashamed of us, Jakob.

Do you think I meant you harm
or something?

"Just look at all those
people who wear clothes."

"I guess you don't want to
be like them, do you?"

That's not the point.

You want me to be
like you, but...

I'm not like that.

Is it really that bad here?

Jakob, have I ever scared you
or abused you?

Am I a fool?

You really don't understand
what it's about, do you?

You forgot how to listen to us.

Alright.

Sit down, let's talk.

You don't know what it does to me.

You make me look ridiculous.
In everything it was like that.

Nudity is the most
natural thing in the world, Jakob.

That's easy for you to say.

You leave here once
a month for purchases.

I have to go outside
the community everyday.

I go to school all week,
and I have to take shit from people.

I'm sick of it.

Idealists always appear abnormal.

Me and your mother
will never bow down.

We do not have this
belief just by chance.

We live in a community here
of dissident people.

Do you understand that?

And if I don't think the same,
do I not belong here?

Of course you do.

For Heaven's sake...

Jakob...

Jakob.

Friend Muller's proposal is approved
by eleven votes to three.

Coffee will be served in the
afternoon with a vegetarian dish.

Anything else on the agenda?

Yes, the showers
need to be renovated.

I think that's something
for the next meeting.

-What's wrong?
-Tuscany, 19 years ago.

-Yeah, so?
-This dress.

I bought it in Siena
on our vacation in Tuscany.

You told me we would do
that every year, Helmut.

But you didn't say you planned to
come here every year.

Not so loud, Sabine.
What is it?

Jakob is gone.
He ran away.

Helmut, Helmut...

This cannot go on.

Your intolerance has become unbearable.

What?
I'm intolerant?

Yes, you are very intolerant.

Helmut, I know we had it bad,
and that's why we left.

And yes, luckily, we
found this community.

But that was a long time ago.

Why are you still retreating?

Come out of your shell.

Otherwise,
you will lose your children, Helmut.

And me too.

Chief...

What is this supposed to be,
a school trip?

-Socke, this is between me and my son.
-Jakob is also one of us.

To the west.

Everything good?

Now go to your guests.
I especially invited them...

to make up for
your birthday.

I'm looking for
an apartment tomorrow.

What's the rush?

I thought we had a deal.

We would spend the holidays
and I would get the apartment.

You call that a vacation?

Poor dieter.

Did you make a bad deal?

You won't even notice I'm gone.

Helmut, come what may,
we are nudists.

And we always will be!

Everything has
its time

Collecting stones
creates dispersion.

Planting trees
and gathering wood

Live, die and fight

And in the end they had
deceived us all along.

-Seriously?
-Yeah.

They are nudists.

-No...
-Yes.

Natalie.

What are you doing here?

Shit, the police.

What are you doing?

We are nudists
and always will be.

Right now?

Documents, please.

You have exceeded
the speed limit.

This is an official report.

Don't worry,
we're in this together.

Get out.

Everyone please.

Please, I can explain.

Your lies have pushed me away.

Would I come here
if I didn't care?

You weren't invited, okay?

I didn't invite you either.
Will you please leave?

-I need to talk to you, Natalie.
- I don't need to talk to you.

Is that clear enough?
Go now.

Come on, get out quickly.
We will continue on foot.

Helmut, we just drove too fast!

Plus violation of public morals.
Run!

-And the driver is gone.
-Run after him.

Be careful.

Five middle-aged naked men
are on the run from the police...

-Jakob, please...
-Listen, Dieter.

You want to distract me.
Come on...

What?

They left the car...

on the side of the road
and fled.

On foot,
barefoot up to the neck.

For the sake of our underage viewers,
we will not zoom in.

The men
are still on the run.

That is Helmut.

What he is doing there?

Is your campground
not big enough anymore?

I feel sorry for you,
having a father like that.

Nudists...
you see what comes of it.

Natalie...

Please don't.

Perhaps you are right.

Nudism is bullshit.

But I was raised that way.

They are my family.

And your family supports you
no matter what. Am I right, Dieter?

Natalie...

Thank you for what you've given
me, it was very special.

Because of you,
I finally know where I belong.

You are the prettiest girl
I've ever known.

I love you.

Sabine, Helmut is on TV.

We were the first FKK colony
in Germany.

We survived Communism.

And now they want to shut us down..

We only care about freedom.

We are people
of different social classes.

But with us it doesn't matter
if someone comes with an
expensive car or by bus.

Naked, all men are equal.

Thank you.

Sorry, can I
say something else?

Yes.

While trying to
save our campsite...

I lied to someone,
a friend.

He is very conservative,
yet he is a true friend.

Dieter, if you can hear this,
I want to say I'm sorry.

I'm very sorry.

-It's me.
-Where are you?

In jail.

But I'm innocent...

You don't think Dieter
will close the campsite,

now that the
whole country is watching?

You did your best.
You made a bold speech on TV.

How are you?

I thought I would never
go back to jail.

What?
Have you been in jail before?

You still don't know
all my stories.

-Do you want to hear them?
-Yes.

When I tried to flee
the military, I was arrested,

and interrogated
for hours.

But first I had to undress,
completely naked.

They did this
to humiliate the prisoners.

Isn't that crazy?

But that wasn't so bad, Jakob.

Now I've become a
lot more boring, haven't I?

I'm proud of you, dad.

Are you coming back home?

Sure.

Sorry I...

Did you hear?

What?

Didn't you hear anything?

Poor Jakob.

What are you talking about?

The ringing of the bells.

I heard them loud and clear.

Again?

Okay.

-Come on.
-I said I...

I'm coming after you later.
You leave first, otherwise
it will cause trouble.

Come with me please.

I can't do that.

I was hoping you'd say
goodbye before you left.

Or did you just decide to leave?

Go now.

Good morning, Dieter.

Bye.

Four months...

That's how old you were
when you first slept through the night.

That was good.

That was very nice
of you.

At six months old, you ate
your first leek...

You didn't like carrots,
but you ate apples and bananas.

And at nine months,
your first tooth came.

That was a little late,
but it wasn't too bad...

At two and a half,
you stopped wetting the bed.

At the age of three, you
went to kindergarten.

Shall I continue?

I know it's all my fault.

Despite everything...

I didn't want anything else
in the whole world

than having
my daughter back.

Well, think how good it is..

-I'm sorry, daddy.
-That's alright...

Relax...

What you...

-What are you doing here?
-Dear friends...

Welcome with me
our new friend, Dieter Lohe.

- He has something important to say.
-And now...

And now here's Dieter.

I am pleased
to announce...

that our contract has been
extended for 20 years.

Congratulations,
the contract has been renewed.

Or do you think this
is not good?

Of course I think it's good...

CLOTHING ALLOWED

Hi Dieter.

Everyone will stare at you
if you keep your clothes on.

- Are you coming in?
- You can keep your shorts on.

We don't want to force anyone
out of their clothes, do we, Sabine?

But, Dieter, think about it...

If God didn't want
us to be naked...

We wouldn't have entered
the world naked, I know.
