PART 5

of the dfk 2023 audiobook translation

@cnka

Narrator (audiobook): Herr Bökh pulls out Martina’s suitcase from under his desk and puts it down in front of the group.

Rothe: „(grumbles) …Don’t want to make this thing bigger than it is. But some people don’t even want a boarding school in this town.“ Bökh: „Mhm.“ Rothe: „Personally, I don’t care. (sighs) So, a friend of mine will fix the damage for… a 1000 bucks? And that would be the end of the matter for me. …So, who did it? Hm?“ Bökh: „Yes. Well, Martina, the suitcase has your name on it.“ Martina: „But I didn’t do it!“

Rothe: (hums) Bökh: „Ok, but then who did?“ Rothe: „(hums vaguely) We’ll do it this way… each of your parents pay 250€… and then its done. Yeah?“

Martina breathes in shakily.

Rothe: „Hm? Yes?“ Bökh: „Yes!“ Rothe: „Yes?“ Bökh: „I’ll take care of the money.“ Rothe: „Mhm. Goodbye.“ Bökh: „Goodbye.“ Rothe: „Yes.“

Narrator (audiobook): The custodian bids farewell and leaves the children to their fate.

Bökh: „Well, I think this conversation is over.“ Jo: „Come, let’s go.“ Bökh: „Martina, stay here for another moment please.“

SCENE CHANGE

Narrator (audiobook): Herr Bökh walks through the corridors of the boarding school with Martina and speaks into her conscience.

Bökh: „No matter what the others get into, until the admission test, you can’t afford to get a reprimand, alright? With a reprimand, there's no scholarship, the rules are really strict about that.“

(teens chatting in the background)

Martina: „Ok. And when do I take the test exactly?“ Bökh: „On the last day of the summer holidays. By then you’ll know what stage we’re at as well. Ah! You might have noticed, I put a lot of value on punctuality. Yeah? I’m a bit special in that regard. Rules apply to everyone!“ Martina: „Ok. Punctuality isn’t a problem for me.“ Bökh: „And if you need to get something off your chest - you come to me. Okay?“ Martina: „I will.“ Bökh: „Good.“

Narrator (audiobook): They’ve arrived in front of Martina’s room.

Bökh: „Now, arrive here first of all. Well, you already know your roommate.“ Martina: „Thank you.“

Martina opens the door. Soft piano music is being played inside.

[Note: i really wish the piece Jo is playing was on the official soundtrack, but it doesn't seem to be :(]

Narrator (audiobook): Martina enters her new home.

Door closes.

Martina: „Hey.“

Narrator (audiobook): Jo is playing on her keyboard while Martina settles in her corner of the room.

Martina: „Jo?“

Jo continues playing for a bit, but stops before Martina continues speaking.

Martina: „I think it’s really unfair that I also have to pay.“ Jo: „It was your suitcase though.“ Martina: „But I didn’t throw it on that car.“ Jo: „I did that because the Externs would have caught us otherwise. I did it for all of us! I basically saved us.“

Jo continues playing.

Martina: „Thanks a lot.“

Martina sighs.

Martina: „Have you been here for long?“

Jo stops playing.

Jo: „Forever.“

She continues playing again.

Narrator (audiobook): Martina takes a look at Jo’s pinboard. It’s covered with photos from all around the world.

Martina: „Barcelona… Ibiza… Tel Aviv… Wow, you’ve really been around.“ Jo: (sighs) „My foster parents are DJs. You get around a lot. And my mother lives in Brazil. She’s not well.“ Martina: „Are you adopted?“ Jo: „Kind of. …What do your parents do?“ Martina: „My mother works in a hospital.“ Jo: „Hm. A doctor’s daughter. 250€ shouldn’t be a problem for you then. Hm?“

Jo continues playing piano.

Martina: „…hmyeah… Sure.“

[zediina]

hi! sorry if this comes off as rude, but i’m learning german and was wondering if you have any german tv show/film recommendations? i’d really appreciate it if u do, thanks so much!

Hello!! Don't worry, this isn't rude at all :) I haven't seen many of these in a long time but here are a few I really enjoyed (I linked the trailers to the movies/the first seasons of the shows too):

MOVIES

Die Feuerzangenbowle (1944)

Yes, this movie is very old; it's black and white. But it's still shown on German tv and it's pretty funny. A famous writer goes undercover in a school, pretending to be a student since he never got the classic school experience (he was home-schooled). He and the other students play a bunch of pranks on the teachers, and other shenanigans happen.

Das Boot (1981)

This is a classic and was nominated for several academy awards, including best director and best cinematography. It takes place on a German submarine during ww2, so it's a war movie. Usually not my favorite genre but this one really kept me on the edge of my seat. There's also a series that came out recently, but I haven't seen that. I can't imagine that it's better than this though.

Good Bye Lenin! (2003)

Takes place shortly after the fall of the Berlin wall and tells the story of a young man from East Berlin. His mother just woke up from a coma, and the doctors say she shouldn't get any big surprises (like, you know, the of the fall Berlin wall) so he tries to fool his mom by pretending the GDR still exists; which is harder than it sounds. The premise sounds a bit ridiculous but it's a really great and funny movie.

Das fliegende Klassenzimmer (2003)

Based on a very popular children's book, this movie tells the story of a boy who's new in a boarding school. He and his new friends find the book for a musical and decide to practice and perform it. (There's a bunch of other stuff happening like a rivalry with another group of students. I haven't seen this movie in forever but it's good and the story is very well known).

Die Welle (2008)

This is based on a true story about a social experiment a history teacher did with his class; maybe you've heard of it before. They create a mock-nazi party to try and understand how they became so popular and how people could buy into their rhetoric. Things go sideways pretty quickly. A great movie and a reminder that none of us are immune to indoctrination and radicalization. There's a tv show with the same name, but I don't think they're connected.

Fack Ju Göthe (2013)

I feel like everyone in Germany has seen this comedy at this point. Objectively it isn't a very good one but I'm going to recommend it simply because every German person I know can quote at least one line from this movie. A criminal takes a job as a teacher for the owrst class in that school, because his accomplice buried the money they stole underneath the school and he needs to get to it. Let's just say his teaching methods are a bit... unconventional.

Labyrinth des Schweigens (2014)

Another movie based on a true story, and one of my favorites. This one really stuck with me. It's about a young state attorney in 1950's Germany, who starts interviewing holocaust victims and prosecuting nazi officers who served in Auschwitz. This movie really shows that many people in Germany would have preferred forgetting the holocaust ever happened and pretend everything is fine rather than confront it.

Tschick (2016)

We actually read the book to this in school. It's a bout two 14 year old boys who steal an old car and go on a road trip together, and all the crazy stuff they experience. To be honest I don't remember that much about it since it's been so long since I've seen it, but I do remember really liking it!

Kästner und der kleine Dienstag (2017)

Remember that really popular children's book I mentioned? Well, this movie is about the author of that book. He's one of the authors who stayed in Germany during the Nazi regime, even though his works were banned and burned. It's about his friendship with a young boy that inspired a character in another famous book of his.

Die unheimliche Leichtigkeit der Revolution (2021)

This movie is about the east german environmentalist movement that started the peaceful revolution, which lead to the fall of the Berlin wall. It's about a teenage girl whose younger brother died due to pollution, and the state is trying to cover it up. Also shows how the GDR was trying to suppress any criticism of the state. It's definitely not the best movie on this list, but I really enjoyed it.

TV SHOWS

Ku'Damm 56, Ku'Damm 59, and Ku'Damm 63

The three mini series tell the stories of three sisters, whose mother runs a dancing school on Kurfürstendamm in Berlin. They take place in 1956, 1959 and 1963 respectively. It touches on a lot of topics, including domestic abuse, antisemitism, homosexuality, rape and more. I particularly loved the first season, where the youngest daughter who doesn't really fit into her mother's plans discovers her love for rock n' roll dancing.

Charité

The Charité is a prestiguous university hospital in Berlin with a long history, which this series exlpores. Season 1 takes place in the 19th century, where Robert Koch is lookig for a cure to tuberculosis. Season 2 takes place in Nazi Germany and among other things talks about the euthanasia practices at the time. Season 3 takes place right when the wall is being built (which passed right by the hospital). The show includes charcters based on real people as well as fictional ones.

Deutschland 83, Deutschland 86, Deutschland 89

An East German soldier has to go and work undercover for the GDR in West Germany, at a time where cold war tensions run high. I never got around to watching the last two seasons, but I remeber that the first one was really good.

Club der roten Bänder

This is based on a true story, and there are other versions of this show for example in the US. It's about a bunch of kids with different conditions who become friends in a hospital; two of them have cancer and got their legs amputated, one has an issue with his heart, one crashed a motorcycle, the youngest is in a coma, the girl has an eating disorder. There are other characters who show up as well. The show can get pretty sad, but their friendship is really touching.

Türkisch für Anfänger

This show was wildly popular back when it came out in the early 2000s. A german woman marries a turqish man, and create a patchwork family with four kids; who are absolutely not excited about it. But they have to figure out how to live with each other.

Oof, this escalated a bit, but I didn't want to exclude anything :) I hope you find something you like on this list!

List seven Comfort Films and tag seven people.

I was tagged by @lunalitsol and spend the last days thinking about this wich was fun. So thank you for tagging me i love these games, i'm just very slow. But now on to the list. Wich isn't in any particular order ecxept the first one.

1) The Perks Of Being A Wallflower

Don't ask me why. It has everything i, in any other case, don't like my comfort movies to have.

2) Howls Moving Castle

One of my first ghibli studio films and in my opinion the best. The characters are all a bit weird but very loveble. It's so magical and light hearted. (The book is also very good but also very different and not as lighthearted).

3) LOL (but the french original from 2008)

This is legit the only GIF i've found (it's Sophie Marceau but i'm not even sure if it's really from the Film i mean). After 4) definitly the Film i watched the most. It did not age very well but it's a really good represtentation of the wealthy youth in France in 2008 and very funny...

4) Das Fliegende Klassenzimmer (from 2003)

Okay now i'm getting very specific. This is a German Film for children (very) losley based on a childrens novel from Erich Kästner. ("The flying classroom" in english i had to look it up). It's a film about friendship in the best way possible.

5) Die Wilden Kerle

Another German childrens series with a total of six (five) films. It's about soccer but actually about friendship. The First three parts are soo good and simply a big Part of my childhood. The only Films i Always agreed with my Brother when we were asked what we wanted to watch. The outfits and the music are so good. It's very kidfriendly but you still can enjoy it as an adult.

6) Harry Potter

Yeah. Need i say more? But I honestly mostly just watch the first three parts.

7) Power Rangers (2017)

This is a newer addition to my comfort movies. It is just hilarious and stupid. Also about friendship. I love the Cast and every single dump Joke. Also if you overlook the Giant Monsters and the weird super villan it's a lot depper than you might think.

Honerable mentions:

Honestly I'm so jealous of Norway producing such good TV shows because quite frankly Germany/Austria are really bad at producing TV shows (except for maybe Kommissar Rex??) because I want to practice my German, and that's really hard when there are good Norwegian shows like skam and blank - Do you watch any good German shows? :) Also were any of the druck actors recognisable before? I recognise Alexander from Deutschland 83

Yeah a lot of German TV I feel like is such an annoying brand of wannabe hollywood, but as I’m a bit Anti-Americanization, I do love to watch good german tv….

Mh I didnt recognise any of them, maybe Hanna’s father, but I might be just paranoid there. But some people said Mia’s actress was in some crime show? So I think they’re still starting their career, but are in other things too. The last bit I don’t get.. did you know the actor of Alexander Edel from DE83 before DE83 (i think i did) or did you recognize the actor of Alexander Hadenberg because he was in DE83 (i’ve watched this series 4 times now and I didnt recognize him) ?

As for German shows/movies I like to watch:- Druck of course and DE83 I’ve already mentioned these- I do love Bares für Rares, it’s just a show where people sell their old stuff and im a bitch for old stuff- I did like the movie “Mein Blinddate mit dem Leben” so much I’ve watched it twice, it’s based on a real story and it’s on German Amazon prime-ZDF Bergserien!! Hear me out, I love Bergdoktor and Lena Lorenz. (Bergdoktor is a bit more high-end produced and funded than Lena Lorenz) They’re fun to watch you get great scenic shots and they’re not as unprogressive as people think they are because they’re on a channel for old people!! Recently there was an episode about a trans man on Bergdoktor and I think it was handled quite well (but I’m not trans so feel free to disagree). On Lena Lorenz there is a canon gay pairing, they’re super cute and they had a great scene of one of them shutting down homophobes. I haven’t really watched the first season, but I think there’s better gay content there, season 2 was WILDLY biphobic, but you take what you get I gess- There’s a lot of guilty pleasure movies in German, i don’t know whether you’d like them without my background: DAS FLIEGENDE KLASSENZIMMER ( i fucking love that movie, it’s a kids movie but I could watch it all year round it’s wonderful and I love it so so much), Die wilden Kerle, Die wilden Hühner, just things I’ve loved in my childhood that give you a lot of nostalgia, Matthias Schweighöfer movies are kind of Till Schweiger movies with a way more sympathetic lead, but I enjoy them if they’re on

wow that was it… I thought i’d new more good german tv. But I think like with music you gotta look for indie stuff (like Druck and DE83), I just haven’t really done that yet
