Morocco (2013) - full transcript

Troubled teenager Ben (16) unintentionally confronts his father Heinrich (Tukur), a successful German theatre director staging a play in Marrakesh, with his past and his neglected responsibilities. After a falling out with his estranged father, Ben loses himself in the shadowy Medina and sleazy nightclubs of Marrakesh, where he meets a feisty Berber girl Karima (18) and follows her to her hometown, far beyond the city and across unfamiliar and barren land. She helps him gain the courage to stand up to his father.

I think now we have to go.

Leopold, where are you going?
- Italy.

And where in Italy?

I find personally Europe at its best.

I wish you happy holidays.
Take care of yourselves.

Ben, you shall come to the Breuer!

Okay.

Yes.

You wanted to see me?
- Right. Come on. Sit down.

Na? And? Are you
satisfied with the witness?

It's okay, right?



Well, up on behavior. Sometimes.

And where it is now
out during the holidays?

To my father to Marrakech.
It shows as a piece.

Oh. The last what I've seen of him,

Was "The Cherry Orchard"
by Chekhov in Berlin.

It was good.

And are you looking forward to the holidays?
- Go that way.

Why "goes like this"?
- I do not know.

Because family is always stress.
- I see.

I can not judge.

I do not.
- Be glad.

Yes, yes, so you can see it too.

Da. Read it the first set.

"All happy families are
similar to one another



Each unhappy family is
unhappy in its own way. "

And? It's good, right?

Tolstoy. Take it with you. You
have to read it sometime anyway.

This is one of them.

I've read your stories.

You write well. Really.

I like it.

I do not like that I get the
feeling you're bored with everything.

You want to know nothing more.

You're doing only what you must. This
was different times. What's going on?

I do not know.

Do you have a girlfriend?

Not degrees.
- Then you organized one.

You're old enough.

People who are interested
in nothing are boring.

You have a pretty good brain.

But it seems to me, as if
it is usually underemployed.

Then it makes itself constantly
and discharges into nonsense.

So do what out of your trip to Morocco.

Show that what you are experiencing.

Summer holidays are the
only time when you are free.

You know my father bad.
Freedom is pure theory.

Sometime the parents no excuse.

Ben, one more thing.

At your age you sometimes think,

You is not seen properly.
This is not true.

I'll see you very well.

And I wait on it that you tell
me what in the fall, right?

Thank you.

What is going on here?
- Dude, what was that now?

Was it because of dope or this morning?
- Dr. Breuer sees me.

Is that a good thing or something bad?

Do not know.

Ah! Ah!

You wanted ever leave. Do you remember?

Since you were five.

You're gone with the packed
red suitcase in the garden.

Since we lived in the blue
house in Mauerkircherstrasse.

I got you then found in the
garden at dusk on the wall.

In rubber boots and rain jacket
and with this red suitcase.

You said you wanted to
Mama wait to say goodbye.

anymore can, that's what you said.

I love you with
reingenommen and undressed

Plastic soldiers.

The whole case was brimming
with your plastic soldiers.

When I write, then over the theater.

Essays and articles.

Have you never read what of me?

Last fall there was a book of mine
"Thoughts over the theater. "

Did you not know that?
Did not I sent the Lea?

Everything else would be nonsense.

I write about my dysfunctional family.

Is that you?
- This is my friend Tobi.

At home with us.
- Oh, this is now your room.

You know, uh, I've never
learned with the family.

With the everyday,
expectations and all that.

I can not. It's just not in me.

This is it. So it
looks like your sister.

Half-sister.

She is now four and does
not know you. That's shit.

Tell me nothing of my sister.

The you is totally irrelevant,
what that feels or me.

You speak three languages

but love someone you can not yet!

I want your two ladies shake hands,

so you stand a better
and your guilt is less.

Is not so simple life. Because
people are not like that.

"The soul is a vast country. " As
has much the same room with us.

"Love and deception,
loyalty and disloyalty. "

If you only think in simple
categories, you do not get far.

Not every father his child sits
at seven at, is a good father.

But you are one, or what?

If you would let me,
I could give you some.

What do you have to give
