HOTEL CALIFORNIA
Ten kilos of rice. I want to know at once what happened to them.
Well?
- It's too little. - This isn't enough for everyone.
- And slowly we all go hungry. - Did you eat all of that?
- That's why we cooked it. - We didn't want to take them all.
Stop it! You will work that off, and now get out!
What now?
What do you mean "What now"! It can't go on like this, Ina!
This will end very badly!
Enrico, I can't do magic.
There wasn't any more where they came from.
Give me two Euros more per person ... for the kitchen.
Please.
Look, I'm the boss and you're the janitor.
I'm a cook, damn it, not a janitor!
You were a cook! Now leave me alone.
Elyas.
What's the matter? Sit down!
Elyas.
Give me your papers.
Mo ... Moha ...
Mohammad. That's my last name.
Another Afghan.
Here. Wear this. It just became available.
But my name isn't Robert.
Everyone here has German names.
That's easier, and good for your integration.
Get it?
No.
Eh, whatever.
Nurjana?
The new guy.
Robert! Pretty name. Come with me, Robert.
Hey, everything alright?
How was Hamburg?
I thought you'd never come back.
No, once a country bumpkin, always a country bumkin. Eh, Finnley?
Shit! Just when I wanted to play the black one.
Speaking of black. There's a new blackie at the hotel.
They all come across the sea now.
Soon you won't be able to see your own shadow.
It's some sort of Taliban or something.
Charlie, you just don't get politics.
They flee because of the Taliban, not the other way round
I don't give a shit! I just want them to stay away!
Your racism pisses me off! Seriously!
Shut up, Linda.
You do-gooders aren't improving the world either.
There are some pretty boys among them.
Climb into bed with one,
and you'll end up blacker than when lying under a tractor.
Turn that bloody thing down.
That rubbish you're spreading is disgusting.
Bite me!
If you go to the hotel later, please just look around a bit.
I want to know what's going on there.
Oh, how cool is that?!
Finnley, you're such an idiot.
This is your new home.
Four people live here?
Do you snore?
I thought this was a hotel?
It used to be a hotel.
They say that it went bust two years ago.
Do you want to smoke with me?
Yea, why not.
Then they told the owners:
"Either bankruptcy or you accept fugitives."
They told me: "You'll go to a hotel."
Well, it's true ...
It's just a hotel with too many guests.
Is the food always this bad?
Are you still hungry?
Thank you!
Everyone is always hungry here.
Why don't they cook more?
They get money from the government, right?
The Indians say that the boss keeps half of it for herself.
What's going on here now?
No worries, that's just the fuse.
The Africans sneaked a hot plate in.
Every time they turn on the electricity, the fuse blows.
Turn off your damn cooker right now!
Mind your own damn business!
Leave us alone, we're hungry!
Idiots!
Was that Italian?
Italian and Somali.
And they understand each other?
No. But it doesn't matter.
They say the same thing every night.
I see!
Get up, you lazy bastards! Get up!
See to better electricity instead of making noise.
Come on, get up!
You're as loud as a thousand young dogs, but as important as a desert flea.
Speak German to me and take that disgusting rag away!
Can we get some quiet, Ms. Nurjana?
Get downstairs! Come on!
Don't forget: even fleas bite.
Hurry up. Breakfast is only on for another ten minutes.
Your greens are here!
Apples ...
Apples.
Emil, Max, Robert! Help out!
Sour as always.
Hey, we can take them back!
Go, take that to the kitchen!
Here! Sign this!
Emil, stop staring! Get working!
Apples, apples, only apples! Damn apples!
Why did I become a cook, huh?
It would be a good time for mushrooms.
Mushrooms? Mushrooms?! What mushrooms? Go look for mushrooms!
Damn mushrooms! Damn apples! Damn country!
Hey, did you see the girl out there?
Difficult!
Difficult?
German girls are scared of us.
Or they hate us.
Yes, or they even hate us!
Who sows hate will reap hate.
Where are you going?
To go mushrooming, are you coming?
That's crazy!
Insane!
Hey, what's up, man? Are you selling flowers?
We're going to the beach to chill out a bit, you know.
Are you coming?
Yes, I'm coming.
Even if she's from Timbuktu or Djibouti, no!
We don't have any more room!
Yes, speak to you soon!
They should just let everyone in!
Good morning!
Here, a registered letter!
Ah, yes, Mr. Hans.
No, no! That's official, he has to sign it himself.
Finnley, I am official here, I'm signing.
CLOSED
(unintelligible shouting)
I think we should find a new playing field.
Oh, yes, playing in the sand is exhausting.
Well, a new football would help as well.
Do you want to play with us?
German is a no-go, huh?
And that's supposed to impress me?
He asked whether you want to play with us.
Sure!
No German - no football!
If you don't want to play with us, leave us alone!
If you really want to play against us, play against her.
Eleven against one?
No football, we're playing this.
Or don't you know how to play?
No Problem.
Now we're even. We can start like this.
Guys, let's go.
What are you looking at?
Sooner or later you'll choke on your damn racism!
Get me that damn ball!
Now!
Fear is the god of the dead. Free yourself!
Go with God in peace.
That's done!
No, no, no, no!
- Yes, yes, yes! - No!
Do you want to play?
Sure.
Ten.
15.
What?
Yeah, what?
Quiet! Quiet, for Christ's sake! Quiet, I said!
What's going on here?
The food.
What about it?
It doesn't taste good.
Do you want to revolt?
We don't want to revolt.
We want decent food, Ms. Ina!
This is decent food! Pasta with applesauce.
We've been eating apples for four weeks. It's never enough. We're hungry.
You're hungry?
You'll have to grow your own food!
Work? But we're not allowed to work.
We have such a big garden, there's plenty of space.
I think we should discuss this.
Fine. Discuss.
Pretty stupid.
What's stupid?
Your idea about the game.
Soon everything will be full of Kanaken (wogs).
Do you really think they'll dare to come here?
Salaam Alaikum!
Do the four of you want to compete?
Chill, ladies.
This is Mahdi. He's our referee.
And this is Yasin, our chiller.
And Ehsan will play.
Okay.
(unintelligible words) Music?
Oh, music!
You play!
Enough for today! Off to bed!
If a black cat prays, it won't rain.
We play eight via the cushion.
No problem.
The table is okay.
Do you have no decency?
Our guests come first.
You're not guests, you're enemies.
Here it is.
This is where you want to grow vegetables?
I won't, but you will.
Tomatoes, cauliflower and lettuce, I'll take care of the potatoes outside.
Are you crazy?
It will take years until something grows here and we can eat it.
If you don't start, it'll take even longer.
We'll start tomorrow.
Luckily there aren't any apple trees here.
Actually, I thought the flower was prettier.
(Inaudible)
What?
You have such pretty eyes.
What was that?
Mashallah!
Shut up!
Hey, easy. Easy, dance, chill.
Get out!
Hang on a minute! The game was fair!
Get out!
What's she saying?
I'll forget myself if you don't piss off!
Yes, we're going. Do you want a rematch?
Out!
Linda, give me something to drink!
Now!
Lena, your shitty mood is really annoying!
Just leave her alone.
Hey, girls!
Where are you coming from?
She has a crush on someone from the hotel.
Seriously?
Which one is it? One of the Africans?
No, an Afghan, right?
Mira, you're not serious, are you?
It's surely my business who I like?
It just gets better and better. You know that they're all pimps?
Lena, you're exaggerating.
Well, at least they can play pool better, from what I've heard.
Does everyone in this shithole have to say this? Damn it!
You know what, we'll accept the rematch!
We will make sure that they'll lose.
That they lose everything!
Lena, calm down!
No!
You can tell your Kanake friend that we accept.
But this time there's more at stake.
This time it's about money.
Linda, how much money do we have?
About 500€.
Go, tell your friend that!
Yes, my Führer!
Stop laughing like idiots!
Elyas is right.
We can't change it, but we can improve it.
Nonsense, why are we supposed to work all of a sudden now?
Everyone is responsible for the boots they're wearing.
Do you want to feel my boots?
Please speak German! The rest of us can't understand anything.
I not speak German!
Then go to school.
Look at me!
I even speak Italian.
We could just speak English, right?
Yes, cool.
What's new, guys?
Speak German or the Africans will have a fit.
Speak German!
That's what I just told him.
Nobody understands when I speak.
Except me.
Sure, except you.
Where were you anyway?
Playing pool.
With the girls?
Yes, sure, with the girls!
And we've already won.
I don't think we should do that.
Those Germans are all the same!
We don't belong with them. I think we should keep to ourselves.
What?
I disagree.
The plant that I've planted will grow.
I'm telling you something, bite me!
Take care, yes?
Can we get to the point now?
As I was saying, I won't work.
Work? What, I'm supposed to work?
Ah, Hans! Mail for you!
Come again?
Here, a letter from the authority.
What it say?
Well, you have to read yourself!
I no read that.
Yes, you read that. And now let me work.
And what's that?
- Mushrooms, of course. - Of course. Mushrooms! Damn mushrooms!
You can tell the others that we accept.
Accept? What?
The rematch.
Great! You're welcome!
Wait, they want to play for money.
For money?
500€.
Whoa.
Sure, no problem.
Tonight?
Tonight.
But here in the hotel!
Okay.
Sorry, translate please?
I can't, I have to work.
What?
I have no time, sorry. Go to Max.
Max?
Yes, Max. He's outside in the garden.
Okay.
Where do you want to get 500€ from?
Easy: Everyone pays 20€, then we're good.
Yes, we're good if he wins. But what if he loses?
Nobody here has 20€.
No worries, I'll win anyway.
I don't like that.
Max?
Mahdi. My name is Mahdi.
Translate please?
You will be deported.
You need a lawyer.
What?
You need a lawyer.
But that's very expensive.
Mine was more than 2000€.
A lot of money.
What? I don't have money.
I think I have an idea.
Get everyone together!
Come on, get moving!
What's he up to now?
There you are.
Here we are.
Do you know the condition?
Yes, we do.
Who's that?
That's the [foreign word].
The what?
He's our treasurer.
That's way more than 500€.
It's all we have.
But we don't have as much.
Hold on ...
Charlie, give me the key!
The key!
Give me the damn key, Charlie!
This is our wager.
The tractor?
The tractor.
Have you gone mad? Why are you doing this?
Doing what?
You're betting all your assets on the game!
One of the Africans is getting deported, back to Somalia.
So what?
There's war, Mira! He's a dead man!
Something has to be done.
Yes, he needs a lawyer, but that's very expensive.
You'll see, she'll win.
If she wins, we've tried,
but if she loses, it was worth the try.
To hell! What's going on here?
- Ms. Ina, this isn't a good time. - This isn't a public pool hall.
This is a refugee home.
Exactly, a refugee home, and unauthorised people have no access.
Listen, director, we'll finish the game,
get the cash and get out.
You're playing for money? This is getting better and better.
If I not play, I leave with police.
Yes, Hans, tomorrow the police are coming.
So the evening is over, huh?
You're such an absolute asshole, Lena!
Shit, man!
Calm down!
You can talk. Kanaken wife!
I'll never speak another word with you.
Come on, defend yourself!
Tell me that I'm a fucking nazi!
Did you see the boy?
Which one?
The black one they're deporting tomorrow.
Is it my fault that there's war?
Afghan dancing is great.
He won't survive long there.
They, what's up?
Finnley, you're an idiot.
The only idiot here is you.
And what if I am!
I mean, seriously, what can we do?
Damn politics.
Mira, what are you doing here?
I'm wasting my time.
Kanaken shit!
Kanake means "human", by the way.
HANS
I hope you liked it here ...
Hans.
DIVERSION
(director) Cut!
Almost 95 000 people without right of residence live in Germany.
About a quarter of these so called tolerated people are minors.
Their life is a life in constant fear of deportation.
