Downloaded From www.AllSubs.org In july Excuse me. Who are you? What d'you want? Why the hell do you speak German? - What? - What d'you want? I'm a hitchhiker, and I just wanted to ask for a lift. That's all. Calm down. Damn it! Goddamn it! Fucking shit! Fuck! Fucking shit! Goddamn it! Oh crap! Goddamn it! Hey, man, I'm talking to you! Are you hearing? Goddamn it! C'mon! We gotta get outta here! C'mon! Goddamn fucking shit! How the hell did I get into such a fucking mess? As if one dead body wasn't enough! Now, I got two fucking bodies to deal with! What did you say? You're okay? - Yeah, I'm okay. - Fine. Get out! Ow! I think something's wrong with my neck! I said "get out"! Now listen here. You almost killed me, but I'm alive, and you're glad I am. So why don't you show me and give me a lift? Please. Okay. - Come up front. - Okay. Yeah, sure! My name's Daniel. Isa. So, Daniel... Where are you from? Hamburg. Hamburg! I got an aunt who lives in Hamburg. How do you earn a living? I'm a student teacher. - I'm gonna be a teacher. - A teacher? You? Shit, kiddo. You sure don't look like a teacher. How do I look? Don't know. More like a bum. Going to the fucking south? - To Turk country, man! - Oh, I see. Yeah. Going on vacation? Nope. I'm after a girl. Your wife? Nope. You're in love? Cool! Tell me all about it. It's quite a long story. Hey, we got a long way to go, man. By applying Newton's law to the problem, we see that velocity is the most important factor. How fast must "x" be accelerated on a ramp with an incline of 10 degrees... in order to overcome 25 meters of gravitational force? Anette? Don't you see I'm talking to someone? Ernie? No idea, man! Kira? Mr. Bannier, we can't have a normal lesson the last hour before vacation! What else? School's out. - Goodbye, Mr. Bannier. - Bye, Kira. Have a nice vacation. What? He passes here every day and you haven't spoken to him yet? I've been too shy. You? Shy? Oh boy! That's him! The one with the glasses! Talk to him! Go on! Hey! Come over here. You look like you could use some luck. A bag would do. What's this? The sun. What's a sun? It's a ball of gas which the Earth and the other 8 planets revolve around. The sun lights up life: For me... for her and for you. Another word for light is... Energy? It's good luck. I see. The ring is a lucky charm. - You're very smart. - I'll be a teacher soon. A teacher? Really? That's funny. What's your name? Daniel. Daniel Bannier. That's a nice name. What's your name? - I'm July - July? What about the ring? It's a very old Mayan ring. The legend says, whoever wears the ring can recognize happiness. You will soon meet a girl wearing the same sun that you have. She is the only person who is destined to bring you happiness. - How much? - 50. Don't you like it? Sure, but... Then why don't you fight for it? - Okay. 30. - 40. 35. It's all I've got. But I want the ring. Okay, but only because I like you. Thanks. Wait a second. This is on tonight. Why don't you stop by? - Thanks. - You are welcome. - Looking forward to it. - I am, too. - Bye. - Bye. - July. - Yes? - What was that? - That was Daniel Bannier. Yeah, sure. But what's so special about him? He has something deep inside waiting to get out. Like what? - Hey! First person singular, teacher! - Hi, Kodjo. Don't think so. Bikini and Zucchini. - Going on vacation? - I'm staying in Hamburg. - You aren't leaving? You need some sun. - No. It's sunny here. - Could you water my plants then? - Sure. - Every morning and every evening? - Sure. Hey, cool. Here's my car key. - Feel free to use it. - That... Excuse me! Hey there! Excuse me! Can I have a beer, please? Excuse me. Is that a sun? What? Is your amulet a sun? No, it's a moon! Excuse me! Could I have... The next song is a love song. About a love that crossed over every border. Hi. Do you know of a cheap place to spend the night? I'm from Berlin. I don't know my way around here. No? Okay. Hey, wait a minute. Just a second. I was kind of gone for a moment. I just remembered. There's this cheap, small youth hostel nearby. And if you'd like, I'll show you the way. - You'd do that for me? - Sure, no problem. I got a car. - That's nice of you. - My car is over there. - I'm Daniel. - Melek. - Melek. Nice name. Where's it from? - Turkey. Are you Turkish? Great. - Can I carry your bag? - No, it's okay. - C'mon. - It isn't heavy. Sure, but you've carried it all day. I'd like to carry it. Hungry? Are you hungry? I don't believe it. This is Istanbul. The Bosporus. Europe's on the left, Asia on the right. I sometimes stand under the bridge at night watching the water. When the moon sparkles on the water then it looks like... thousands of little fish dancing. In Turkish there's a word for it: "Yakamoz." I have a date right under the bridge on Friday, at moon. - Aren't you going away? - Huh? - Aren't you going away? - No, I don't think so. - But everybody's going on vacation. - Yeah, I know, but I've decided... to stay in Hamburg. Hamburg can be really Nice in the summer. There are lots of parks... and cafés and restaurants and all. And there's the beach. - Hamburg has a beach? - You didn't know? A real beach. A real beach with sand and water and seashells and all. - Would you like to see it? - Yes. Okay. The check, please. Yeah, this is the beach. There aren't that many seashells, but... Would you like a beer? Just a second. Excuse me, could one of you guys sell me two beers? Sure. - Here. - Thanks. How much do I owe you? The best things in life are free. Cheers. I'm beginning to understand why you don't want to leave. My sun, my moon Let your light shine My warm sand Will keep your path free I stroke your skin With my wind My lips thirst for your lips Oh, your eyes Should look for me And follow me Oh, your lips Should come and find me And stay and kiss me Tell me. Your name... Melek... Does it mean anything? Angel. It really suits you. Thanks, but you don't even know me. What about that place to sleep? Do you live alone here? Yeah. Don't you have a girlfriend? Nope. - Would you like some tea? - Sure. It's really crazy that we met today, because... I knew we'd meet today. I knew we'd meet today. Maybe I didn't know it. Maybe I was just hoping, but... It's as if you could decide you own fate for one day. I stood there waiting for you, and... then I thought you weren't coming. It's funny. Melek? - Well, thanks for everything. - My pleasure. Bye, Daniel. That's bullshit. Why not wise up and stay here? What for? I don't wanna stay here! I hate this damn town! Yeah, but where will you go? Wherever the wind takes me. What do you mean by that? I just wanna get away! The first car that stops will determine where I go. What id the first car is going... To Bavaria? You wanna live in Bavaria? Okay, I guess that's my destiny. I'm going to miss you. I'll miss you, too. Hi, July. Hop in. I'm in a hurry. - Is this your car? - No, it belongs to a friend. Where can I drop you? Where are you heading? Istanbul. Istanbul? How come Istanbul? It worked! What worked? The magic ring. Sure, I know... it sounds crazy and illogical, but it worked. So where is she now? She flew to Turkey this morning on vacation. All I know is she'll me waiting under the Bosporus bridge at 12 on Friday. July, she is so... - Where are you going, by the way? - What? Where are you traveling to? - I'm going to Turkey, too. - What? To Istanbul. It's like this: Every summer, I stand right where you pick me up and go on vacation. I go wherever the wind takes me. The first person to pick me up decides where I go. - You do that every summer? - Yep. I've been to the craziest places. Italy, Spain... One guy even took me to Afghanistan. Just imagine that? Afghanistan! - Afghanistan? - Yeah! - Incredible. - Absolutely. You have no idea where you're going to end up. It's a bit like... buying a surprise package. - Sure. - And this year it's Turkey! Wild! I've never been to Turkey. This is gonna be really nice. Sure. It does this sometimes. I don't believe it. Just a second. We could stay here. In Bavaria? The sky is blue wherever you go. Hey. Tomorrow's a new day, huh? Sorry, but we don't have two singles left. We only have one single room with a single bed. Will that do? It's only for one night. - It's no problem, is it? - No problem. July, you took all the blanket. Could you give me back a piece? - Sure. - Thank you. You can't get to sleep, can you? Nope. It's uncomfortable and hot and... Do you know the spoon position? Yeah, sure. I've heard it's one of the most comfortable positions for sleeping. Really? Okay, who's spooning whom? You spoon me. It really is comfortable. Real cosy. Damn it! We go south through Italy to Bari... and take the ferry to Greece and then on to Turkey. We could also go via Austria, Yugoslavia and Bulgaria to Turkey. - But there's a war in Yugoslavia - Oh yeah. Or via Austria, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria. That's really roundabout. Maybe there's a direct ferry from Bari. - I have a problem. - What? I'm nearly broke. I can't afford the ferry. That's not my problem. What d'you mean? What's the matter? Don't you know where to go? I'm going to Budapest. C'mom, get in! What's up? Aren't you coming? - Okay, my name is Leo. - Daniel. My pleasure. - I'm July. Like the month. - July? - July is a nice name. - Thanks, Leo isn't a bad either. Reminds me somehow of a lion. I believe that's where it comes from. - Is Leo your sign of the zodiac, too? - I'm afraid not. I'm a Scorpio. I have a sting in my tail. - But you're a Leo, huh? - Yep. - A July Leo? - Sure thing. Sure thing. - What about your boyfriend? - He is not my boyfriend. What's that for? - That's Che. - Yeah, but what does it mean to you? What did Che fight for? - For justice. - Yes, but what else? - For freedom? - Bingo! This Che stands for... - my belief in individual freedom - So we got something in common. - What's up? - I'll wait outside. - Don't you want a beer? - No, thanks. - Don't be a party pooper. - I'm not a party pooper. - I'm going in there. - Fine, I'll wait here. - Hi, Leo. - Hi, guys. - Okay, this is July. - Cheers, July! - You want a large? - Sure, I might as well do it right. Hey, were you serious about your belief in individual freedom? - That we have it in common? - Sure, I was serious. - Really? - Yeah! Wanna go with me? What? I mean, do you wanna come along? Where to? To the end of the world maybe? I can't. You think he's the right guy? Yes. Would he fight for you? I wish he would. Let's dance? Dance? Okay. Leo, stop that! What're you doing? Stop it, Leo! - Leo! - Leo, cut it out! Shut up, Paul. - Leo, stop! - Leave her alone! - Stay outta this! - Stood it, or you're leaving! - Shut up and sit down! - Let me down! - Let her down! - Daniel! Hey, Daniel! - I didn't hear you. - I said, let her go, please! Let her go, please! - I can't hear you! - Let her go! Hey c'mon! Let's go! My goodness, I just got in a fight, I never fight. I've lost my glasses. I'm a pacifist. I detest violence. What's so funny about that? - Nothing. - So how are we gonna get outta here? - By boat. - By boat? Yes, by boat. The Danube flows into the Black Sea, doesn't it? Right. And Istanbul is on the Black Sea. - That's a narcotic, isn't it? - C'mon, this isn't a narcotic. - It's peace. - What do you mean? It's illegal. That's a long story. Maybe, but that stuff makes you stupid. - Do you think I'm stupid? - No, I don't, but... It's cool, man. Trust me. I just inhale like with a cigarette? It tastes good. It really tastes good. Like rope. Like singed rope. That's sort of how it tastes. It feels so warm... here. - It's okay? - I'm okay, I'm okay. - You got some ash. - Ash, ash, ash. Want another puff? Getting a taste for it, huh? I once saw these guys... students of mine at school... they hold it somehow like this, I think. - At school? - At school. Fifteen. - Incredible. - They're all stupid. Anything they can do, I can do better. Cool. What're you laughing about? Nothing. It's just so cute the way you say "cool". Oh man, my students are always saying it. I was wondering what kind of music teaches listen to. You mean, what do I listen to? - Jazz. - Jazz? Yes, that's exactly what I thought. Why? What do you listen to? I really like old stuff: Oldies, Elvis Presley. What about you? Do you like oldies? Sometimes. I have to, because... every Sunday, I have breakfast at my mom's place, and... she listens to oldies all day. Oldies with coffee, oldies with cereal, oldies with peanut butter... oldies with everything, for example... Know that one? Nice, isn't it? What are you going to do when you see her? What do you mean? Like, what are you going to say to her? No idea. You don't know? What should I say to her? Well, something like... My darling... I've traveled thousands of miles, crossed rivers and moved mountains. I've suffered and endured agonies. I've resisted temptation, and I've followed the sun... so I could stand before you and tell you... I love you. Isn't that too mushy? July? I'll get us something to eat, okay? I'll be right back. Not so loud, dear. Please, don't! Please! You bums! Budapest? Do you speak German? I'm Daniel. That's my name. - Luna. - Luna. Do you smoke? Thanks. A snack. - Do you speak German? - No. It's a simple principle. We have one dish. Eat it or not. I'll definitely eat! Oh, thanks. I have to follow someone. - There's a girl. - Another coke? Please. You do speak German. So we meet again. Where's my money? - What's he doing? - Where are my things? - You understand. - Who's that? - I don't know. - Give me my passport! - The ring! - Stay outta this. Give me back my ring! I'm gonna get you bums! Now I'm gonna get you! Fuck! Why doesn't this fucker work? Hey! Give me a push! To the right! Fuck! I don't believe it. She's crazy. I'll smash your face in! I'm gonna get you! Just wait, you bastard! Wait till I get you! I don't understand. What? What's wrong? I don't understand. Fuck it! Fuck it! You fucking bastards! Get out! Get out! Hands up! Daniel. July? Stop! July, I got a big problem. I got no passport, nothing - And I gotta cross this border. - Where's your passport? It doesn't matter. Tell him anything. Tell him that... tell him we're married, okay? - But we aren't married! - July, please. - No, we can't lie to that man - Please. Okay, Daniel Bannier, will you take me as your wife? - What? - Will you or won't you? Yes, I will. Damn it! Now ask me. July, will you take me as your husband? - Yes, I will. - Okay. What else? - Now the speech. - What speech? The one I taught you. The Sermon on the Mount. - Why now? - It's part of the ceremony. Okay... My darling... That's right, isn't it? I've crossed over bridges... Is it wrong? L-l-I've crossed... Do you promise? I promise. Okay. Hey, buddy! How do we get outta here? We could spend our honeymoon here. - I think I have a better idea. - What? We'll steal a car. - What? - Yeah, we'll steal a car. - We can't steal a car! - Why not? We're the good guys. The good guys don't steal cars. But we could steal a bad guy's car. - Him? Is he a bad guy? - Nope. - What d'you mean, "no"? - He's a nice guy. But those are just the kind of people who beat their wives and kids. - I don't know. - Those guys. - He reminds me of a friend of mine. - That guy. - A mass murderer! A mass murderer! - Just look at him. - It scares me to look at him. - He looks real cuddly. They all look like bad guys to me here. You know what you're doing, don't you? You got it? - What're you doing? - It was here. Hey! Are you crazy? You're gonna break everything! - Trust me, okay? - Okay, okay. - Did you hurt yourself? - No, I'm okay. Damn it. Don't move. I think someone's looking. Shit! He's looking this way. Keep cool. - Isn't this romantic? - What? I never stole a car with anyone before. July, do me a favor and start this car, so we can get outta here! Please! Okay. Well? What did I tell you? - Unbelievable! - Give me five. - You're the best! - Tell me, Alin. Don't you have a blue Dacia? Right. I think it's being stolen. Bullshit! Oh shit! They're stealing my car! No passport, no Bulgaria. I'm fed up. If the Bulgarians mess around like that, what'll the Turks do? The Turks are probably five times worse than the Bulgarians. Hey, wait a moment. Could you back up a bit? - Where does that lead to? - We'll soon see. - Look at that. - It looks dead. - That's not what I meant. - What do you mean? - That must be Bulgaria. - Bullshit. - Why bullshit? - This puddle isn't the Danube. Sorry, but the Danube isn't the border. Are you sure? - No. - Then this could be the border. Okay, let's assume this is the border. So what? I'll just drive over. - How do you mean that? - I'll get a running start... hit the ramp and bingo! I'll jump the river. - We need the car! - We can do without it. It's Wednesday. This is still Romania... I need the car to get there by Friday! But you won't make it, if you die! Have you thought of that? Sensible teachers don't do things like that! Okay... The car is my weight "x", okay? "X" weighs about half a ton. The distance is about 25 meters. The question is: How fast do I have to go... up a ramp with a 10 degree angle to cross 25 meters, right? Right. Okay. The answer is: 96,41 kilometers per hour. Damn it! Great! Congratulations! I really feel sorry for your students. - You could have been killed! - What if I had been killed? - That's nothing to joke about. - Why not? Because I don't like it! What would you have done If I'd been killed? I'd be happy to finally get rid of you. What's that? The border. The Danube. What's so funny? It's real funny, huh? Real funny. Terribly funny. - Calm down. - No! It's all your fault! - My fault? - Your fault! - Why is it my fault? - Because all this shit is your fault! If I'd taken the ferry from Bari... I'd be in Istanbul now instead of in a pit like this! Bari? Without me you'd never get to Bari! You'd still be in Bavaria! Who helped you cross the border? Who stole the car? And who sold me this stupid ring? If I hadn't bought this crap, I'd still be in Hamburg... reading on my balcony! And I wouldn't be here! Then go back home to the Elbe! Read a newspaper or a book! Just go back to your old dull life! You just don't want me to meet her. The first person to stop decides where I go. He didn't count. That was it? That was it. Just a second. You experienced all that? I experienced all that. - You didn't make up that crap? - Why should I tell you a bunch of crap? Respect, kiddo. Thanks. Where's that awful smell been coming from the whole time? Hey, kiddo. You don't have your papers anymore, do you? - No... - Get out! - What the hell? - Get out! - Get the fuck out of the car! - What the hell? Are you blind? Why don't you drive up? Get out! Both of you! He should get out, too. Get out. - What? - I told him to get out. - I already said that. - He's German. German! German! Your passports and car registration. - Passport. - I don't have a passport. His passport was stolen. Tell that to your grandma. - What's the problem? - Shut up. What? - I told him to shut up. - Shut up! - I didn't say a thing. - Shut up! You're going nowhere without a passport. His passport really was stolen. What are you? Terrorists... Satanists or what? - Open the trunk. - Isa, what? Open it! Arrest them at once! This is unbelievable. Unbelievable. Now it's all over with! Forever! And why? Because the guy who picked me up has a corpse in the trunk. Just imagine! - A corpse! Is that your hobby? - Shut up! - I'm not gonna shut up, okay? - Don't work me up! - Will your pants burst or what? - Listen here, you prick! I don't wanna hear more than 20 words from you till we get to Istanbul! Okay? Okay, you can have'em right away: Asshole! Asshole! Asshole! The corpse in the trunk is my Uncle Ahmed. What? He came to visit us from Istanbul. Uncle Ahmed is my dad's oldest brother. And my dad keeps inviting him to come to Germany. Five months ago he finally came. He got himself a visa for three months and hustled up to Germany. He thought Berlin was really cool. Loads of Turks on our block. All at once, he was part of the scene and really enjoying himself. And we, my family and me... we were enjoying it, too. My nephews... I have two nephews, my sister's kids. They stopped going to kindergarten... 'cause when nobody else was there, Uncle Ahmed took care of the kids. You wouldn't believe what a good cook he was, Daniel! Better than my mother. The three months went by, and Uncle Ahmed stayed. And then the inevitable happened. He died. Without so much as a goodbye. A heart attack. Dead. Really dumb. The whole family got together and had an emergency meeting. He couldn't go the official route... 'cause my parents had an illegal corpse in their basement. So we decided to smuggle his corpse to Turkey. And since I'm the youngest... and I'm on vacation... I got stuck with all this crap. Shit. They're gonna ask for a certificate. You can have it faxed. No, they'll want the original. Shit! If I could just make one phone call. I'd call up my sweetheart. She'd bring me the birth certificate. Isa, I'm running out of time. Come on. Wait a second! What about me? Hey there, who was that? We'll soon see. Come on. The door's open. So you came all this way to take your dead uncle to Turkey? Bravo, Isa! Bravo! Osman, get the hero some tea. Cigarette? Thanks. I need your uncle's birth certificate. If I could make a phone call... I would have it brought from Istanbul tonight. Show Isa where the phone is. To all passengers: We will be taking a 30-minute break. The tea is complimentary. July? Hey! How come you're here? What're you doing here? Melek. This is incredible. I'm on my way to Istanbul. - What are you going there for? - That's... That's quite a long story. Tell me. But be quick. I met a girl. I fell in love with her. : And I'm going to Istanbul to meet her there. Where are you going to meet her in Istanbul? Under the bridge. Are you sure she'll be there? I hope so. The bus for Edirne in now boarding. Please, take your seats. I have to go. - Aren't you going to Istanbul? - I must take something to the border. That's also a long story. Give my regards to your boyfriend! I will. Did I tell you about him? Don't miss your bus. Hi. You made it. Nice to see you. Where's your date? My darling... I've traveled thousands of miles... crossed rivers... and moved mountains. I've suffered and endured agonies. I've resisted temptation... and I've followed the sun, so I could stand before you... and tell you... I love you. Okay, we'll play the old game: The first person to stop decides where we go, okay? Want me to tell you something? - I love you - What? I love you. It's funny, but I'm not sure I heard that right. I just said that it's difficult to understand you! - I love you! - That's how it has to sound. Hey, you two lovebirds! Where to? To the fucking south! Okay! Get in! What are you waiting for?
