NETFLIX PRESENTS
[unsettling music playing]
In times of yore, an avenging spirit was thought to inhabit old people.
A dark power that took possession of the frailest members of the clan.
And drove them into a seemingly blind rage.
[menacing whoosh]
[weatherman on TV] …our way. After an early morning mist dissipates,
it'll be sunny and dry with a further rise in temperatures.
Over the weekend, much of the country will hit 30 degrees.
In the northeast, temperatures could hit 40 degrees Celsius.
[man breathing weakly]
Wind from north to northwest will arrive in the evening.
Tuesday will be mostly cloudy with scattered showers.

ELDERCARE 24
-He wasn't expecting that, was he? -[man] What do you mean?
-Because you told him I'm not into feet! -But that was in his profile.
I know! -At least that's what you told me.
I… I need to get going now.
I took Jule's shift and have to go to the next apartment.
What? I thought you were coming home right now.
-You must feel really bad for them, huh? -Yeah, I do.
I feel so sorry for them all, you know? The whole building is falling apart.
Not one family with kids.
[thunder rumbles]
[woman] I have to go. Old Mr. Reincke is waiting for me.
The sad guy, remember? In the wheelchair.
[ominous music playing]
[door creaks]
Hello?
Mr. Reincke?
[unnerving music playing]
SOLITUDE IS THE ELDERLY'S DUE

[woman] Mr. Reincke?
[Mr. Reincke] Help.
[woman] Wha-- What's wrong?
[Mr. Reincke wheezing strangely]
[woman breathing shakily] It's-- It's me, Melissa?
S-- So, if you…
[Mr. Reincke shrieks]
-[Melissa groans] -[dull thud]
[Melissa gasping]
[Mr. Reincke wheezing]

Please don't!

[teenage girl] A few weeks before the first people were killed,
we talked in school about how our society is aging drastically.
Our social system will collapse in the coming years.
Intergenerational conflicts will escalate.
["Am Fenster" by City playing]
[teenage girl] But looking back now,
no one knows what really triggered what happened
on those last hot summer days.
["Am Fenster" continues]
[singing in German] ♪ It's not frenzy That condemns the young night… ♪
Come on, Laura! Sing along!
Oh, no.
Laura's too old for singing. Am I right?
Besides, this used to be our family song. Dad sang it with us and Grandpa.
Until Mom decided to leave him.
[cell phone ringing]
Noah, can you answer this? It's Sanna.
-Hi, Aunt Sanna! -Hey, big guy! How are you?
Good. Mom's driving.
I can't wait to see the three of you. When will you be here?
GPS says 11 minutes.
I'm crazy nervous, but Malick is even worse.
Hey, babe! [laughing]
-[Noah chuckles] -And your dress?
It's beautiful. I think I'll wear it a few times to work too.
[Mom] Your wedding dress?
-How is Aike? -Yeah, how's Grandpa?
CONNECTION LOST
It just dropped the call.
Don't worry, Noah. We'll be there soon. Then we'll see him with our own eyes.
Can't wait to see Grandpa.
And Dad.
["Am Fenster" continues]
[moos]
-[man] Let's go! -[woman] Lukas!
Keep an eye on Thalan. I'll be right back.
Up, up! Up, up!
I have to go back to the home. Linda called.
A couple of the residents have refused to eat.
So they called you right away.
Yeah, it's probably just the weather anyway.
[Lukas] Would you prefer not to go to the reception tonight? We can skip.
And miss Sanna's wedding?
Ella's coming with Laura and Noah. Don't you wanna see your kids?
Of course I do. But I can spend all day with them tomorrow.
I'm not jealous, Lukas. At least not a lot.
I finally get to see you in a white shirt again.
You know how hot it makes me.
-You mean me or the shirt? -Both. In combination.
[woman chuckles playfully]
[Lukas chuckles]
[whimsical guitar music playing]
Ella!
Hey, lovely bride!
No, wait! I'll come down to you!
Malick, Ella's here!
-[Malick] Hey, guys! -Malick!
-[Sanna laughing] -[Ella] Sanna!
-How was the drive? -[Ella] Good. How long have you been here?
[Malick] Since the week before last. We've been cleaning and decorating.
-Where will the ceremony be? -Over at the village church.
-[Malick] And back here for the reception. -You're staying in Mom and Dad's old room.
-The others are staying in the village. -Are there still hotels there?
Just one left. But it was a great idea to get married here, huh?
Look, Noah. You always used to play over there at the edge of the woods.
On the old swing.
You and Laura.
Dad put the swing up for us.
[poignant music playing]
You should see what Malick has done with the cottage.
We're still renovating, but he set up a bedroom for us upstairs
with a wood stove, a bathtub, and a canopy bed.
I think he has something planned for tonight.
Got it.
A love nest. [chuckles]
Did you know there's a secret underground passage
that connects the two houses?
Oh, really?
[Noah] Yeah! Rich people used to come here for vacations. Grandpa told me.
And the butters lived over there.
-The "butters"? -Yeah, they had to do all the work.
-Cleaning and cooking and stuff. -Butlers!
And they brought the food they cooked through the tunnel.
Uh-huh. And Grandpa told you all that.
[Noah] That was over a hundred years ago.
[Noah's footsteps retreating]
[music continues]
[Ella] Where is Dad anyway?
[hesitantly] At the Saalheim Retirement Home.
Where?
-I thought he was living in the village? -Mm-- No.
He's in a retirement home.
You haven't talked at all?
I'm sure he's sorry about what he said.
About your divorce with Lukas and…
and the fact that you left.
Is Grandpa coming to the reception tonight?
Of course he's coming. Why wouldn't he?
I hope he's in good enough shape.
His health has declined rapidly.
[poignant music continues]
[sighs]
[motorcycle approaching]
[motorcycle stopping]
-[Laura chuckles] -[young man chuckles]
Hi, Alex.
So you still know who I am?
[Laura] Hmm.
[both chuckle]
So, you coming down?
[knocking at door]
Knock, knock.
Mom and I are going to pick up Grandpa with Aunt Sanna. Wanna come?
Um…
-I have to finish something for school. -Mm-hmm.
Uh-- Hey, wait!
Don't forget your inhaler.
And take it easy, okay?
So you're not so tired at the reception tonight.
-[Noah] Mm-hmm. -[Ella] Noah!
[Noah] Hold on! I'm coming!
-[Laura chuckles] -[Ella] It's time to go!
And so, where were we?
Fancy a boat trip with me?
Wanna turn?
Yeah, of course. I've seen you and your uncle do it a million times.
-[boat accelerates] -Whoa! Laura! Not so fast!
-[Laura laughs] -Not so fast!
Stop worrying and just hold on!
[ethereal music playing]
-Look who it is now. -Wait! Is it Dad?
Hi, Dad!
-[Lukas] Hey, big guy, how are you? -[Noah chuckles]
-[Lukas laughs] Yeah! -[Noah] I missed you, Dad!
Don't you wanna talk to him?
Sure. Yeah.
[Lukas] I thought it was you there. Where's Laura?
She wanted to stay at the house. Probably meeting secretly with Alex.
Ah, the lovebirds. How are you guys?
How are you, Ella?
Good.
And you?
I need to find a white shirt somewhere but no idea where.
-I have a white shirt. -Uh-huh?
-I'll lend it to you if you want, Dad. -[laughing] No, no. You wear it, big guy.
There's no way I could fit in it anyway.
Where are you going? I thought you were getting married.
-We're going to pick up Aike at the home. -Then Kim can show you around.
She just drove over there. She's probably with your dad right now.
[Ella] Mm.
Uh, super.
Thanks. [chuckles]
Okay, ladies. See you at the church.
-Noah, later, alligator! -In a while, crocodile!
-[Lukas chuckles] -[car door closes]
[Lukas's car engine starts]
[Sanna] Uh-oh. Ooh!
[pensive string music playing]
[Noah] What's with all the people?
[Ella] What do you mean? They're people.
[Noah] But only old people.
[Ella] There's just not much left in the area.
Just the retirement home, nothing else.
SAALHEIM HOME
Um, don't we have to check in somewhere?
Where is everyone?
[Sanna] No idea.
[Ella] Noah, come. Let's go look for Grandpa.
[ominous music playing]
[man] Hannah.
[relieved] Hannah!
My girl.
Save me.
I'm sorry, sir,
but I'm not Hannah.
[woman sobbing in distance]
[Sanna gasps softly]
[dripping]
[moaning softly]
[door opens]
[impatiently] Oh God, Miss. Kirschner. Let's get you back in your bed.
-Yeah? -We were looking for Kim. Is she here?
Yeah, she's back in the office. One moment.
Wait. Kim! Customers!
Sanna!
-Hi, Kim. Are you busy? -Not at all. I thought you'd come here.
-You wanna see Aike, right? -I want Grandpa to come to the wedding!
I bet he'd like that.
There hasn't been a party around here for a long time.
Ella.
[shaking hands]
Nice to see you again.
Hello, Kim.
Okay, then. Come with me, big man. Let's go see your grandpa.
-[Ella] What's going on here? -What do you mean?
The old people. Are they always like this?
Well, we're totally understaffed.
And there are more and more of them that we really can't take care of.
Everyone stands by. Lets it happen. It all just gets worse.
But they're tied down.
Restrained, yeah.
We have to, or else they'll run away, fall down, or get hurt.
[panting softly]
[Kim] I know how it sounds.
But what can we do? There are far too few of us.
Some of them lie in their own crap for hours.
I wish I could change that.
[somber string music playing]
-[arm creaking] -[wheezing]
[string music continues]
[Noah breathing shakily]
[string music becomes discordant]
[woman crying out faintly]
[man groaning in distance]
[violin playing jarringly]
[violin stop suddenly]
[Noah] Hello.
Grandpa?
It's me. Noah.
Tonight we want you to come to the wedding reception with us.
Don't you recognize me anymore?
[man groans softly]
[man growls softly]
[distant murmuring]
-[Ella] Noah? -[murmuring ends]
Sweetheart, so you found Grandpa.
Hello, Dad.
It's me, Ella.
How are you?
[eerie whispering]
-Why are they all looking at me? -These days they rarely see visitors.
Most of them get a visit from their children or grandchildren
every couple of years,
if ever.
I'm sorry, I…
-It is different with you. -No, it's not.
I should have come long ago.
Dad.
[pensive music playing]
Do you think we'll have a thunderstorm today?
[Alex] Mm, maybe.
Wanna see something?
Of course. What is it?
[both giggling]
-[Laura] Where are we going? -[Alex] Come with me.
Have you ever been here?
What is this? A grave?
A monument to the…
to the ghosts of our ancestors.
[somber string music playing]
[Alex] The stone is almost 2,000 years old.
It's supposed to protect families, so they stay together
and honor their elders.
[Laura] Whose families?
[Alex] All of ours.
Whoever hurts them is cursed.
[ghostly whispering]
And look here.
E and L?
Ella and Lukas.
My parents.
Your mother and Lukas were here as teenagers
and left their mark for all eternity.
But then they separated.
Soon I have to go back to Berlin.
[Alex] I wanna get out of this shitty town.
Live in the city,
like you.
[woman] Sanna!
[man] Bravo!
-[Ella] Sanna! -[Noah] Malick!
[whimsical acoustic guitar playing]
-[car doors slamming] -[cars accelerating]
[no audible dialogue]
[whimsical music continues]
-Time for bed, okay? -[Noah] But Mom, I'm not tired at all!
-Just one more song. Please! -Okay, one song.
[Noah laughing] All right!
[subdued music playing]
-Just like his mother. Just as stubborn. -No. I'd say he's like his father, right?
-You were always the stubborn one. -I don't think we were that much alike.
You followed your dream
of living in the city and having your own law office
instead of the solitude of the country.
Do you ever regret it?
[song ends]
That we left here?
-["Am Fenster" begins] -[Noah] Mom! Dad!
-[Laura] Come on! Our family song! -[Noah] Family song!
[Ella] At least the kids turned out well!

You're listening to the music.
Do you like it?
Hello?
[woman crying]
[woman laughing]
You wanna get all dolled up in front of the mirror, huh?
Put on some nice clothes and join the others at the party?
Too bad you're not invited.
[song no longer audible]
[orderly] Besides, it's time for bed.
[electricity buzzing]

Please, you have to stop-- Put the cable down!
Stop! It's an electric--
[zapping]
[woman weakly] Just a bit longer.
Let us stay up a bit longer
and listen to the music.
Come on, up. Time to hit the hay.
[shrieks] No!
I don't have time for this kind of stress, okay?

[Malick] Be careful driving down to the village!
Let's go back out to the sea tomorrow.
[motorcycle idling]
-Promise? -Promise.
[motorcycle revving]
[poignant music playing]
Come on, let's go!
-[vehicle pulls away] -[Sanna laughing ecstatically]
I'm fine. Tonight is all about you.
-I love you, big sister. -I love you too.
-[Sanna] See you tomorrow, okay? -Yes.
-[Sanna laughing] -[Ella sighs]
[foreboding music playing]
Do you still love her?
Kim, no.
Where's Dad?
Go back to sleep, honey.
The best part was
when you guys danced together again.
To our song.
[sleepily] To our song.
[voices whispering]
-[Sanna laughing] Faster! -[Malick laughing]
-[Sanna sighs happily] -Wait, wait, wait, wait! Close your eyes.
What?
Come on, close your eyes.
[both giggling]
[Ella happily] I hope it's not too corny. You know I'm really not the romantic type.
[Malick] Yeah, yeah.
So, now you can open your eyes.
Oh, baby.
[soft acoustic guitar playing]
I'm afraid…
that someday it won't be as perfect as it is now.
[softly] Hey.
It will always be perfect.
Do you know how I know?
Because you…
Because you are the love of my life, Sanna Marie Wagner.

I'm sure Alex is fine. He's with his uncle. Where's Noah?

You know him?
From the home?

I…
I don't know it.
[neck creaking]
[man growling softly]
[neck creaking]
[whispers] What's your name?
Can you--
I just wanna know where the boy is.
Where is our child?
Why are you doing this?
What have we done to you?
We haven't hurt you at all.
I don't know…
you're angry
at somebody, and maybe they treated you badly,
but it certainly wasn't us.
[voice quavering] And it wasn't our dear son.
[Lukas sniffling]
[wet thud]
Where's my child? He hasn't done anything to you!
-[angrily] Where's my child? -[Lukas] Ella, stop it. Stop it.
-Stop it! Ella! Stop it! -[Ella] No!
[Lukas] Stop it, Ella!
[yelling] Ella!
Where is my child?
[growls softly]
What do you see?
A man
or a beast?
You don't know everything we've seen
in our all-too-short and sad lives.
Do it.
[Ella's finger fidgets on the trigger]
Just kill me.
I'd rather die than continue living like an animal.
Noah! [drops gun]
[gasping] Noah!
Noah! [sighs]
Honey, where were you?
Grandpa took me to the attic so I wouldn't get hurt.
He said, "Stay there! Stay there!"
Then he went outside to join the others, and I did what he told me.
-Are you mad at me? -No!
No, my angel. [sobbing] I'm not mad at you at all.
You hid very well. You did a great job.
[man growling softly]
[Noah wheezing, gasping]
What?
[Lukas] Noah?
-[Noah wheezing] -What?
Noah, what's wrong?
-Noah! Noah! -[Ella] He can't breathe! His inhaler!
[Lukas] Noah, calm down. Calm down.
Breathe slowly. Don't be scared. Breathe slowly. Calm down.
-[Noah wheezing] -[Ella] Noah.
-[Noah's breathing inaudible] -[Ella] Noah!
Noah, listen to me! Take a deep breath. Breathe with me.
-Like we practiced. Go ahead. In. -[Noah inhales]
[inhaler hisses]
-And out. Okay, again. Again, in. -[Noah inhales]
-[inhaler hisses] -Like your sister says.
-And out. -Breathe. Breathe. Breathe.
[Laura] We're all here.
Okay, Dad's here, Mom's here. Don't worry, we're all here.
[Ella echoing] We're all here. It'll be okay.
He's too weak.
We'll carry him into the living room and wait until it gets light.
-Then we'll get out of here. -Can you take him?
Dad will carry you.
Kim.
Coming?

[Noah moans sleepily]
[knocking at door]
[door opens]
I admire you, Ella.
Lukas still says your name in his sleep sometimes.
Your name and your kids' names.
And I lie awake next to him.
Wanna know why he'll never love me as much as he loves you?
Because you left him.
Because you abandoned him.
It was so easy for you to abandon someone.
And I stayed behind in this…
shithole.
I even took care of your father. Not you.
Kim.
I don't wanna take Lukas away from you.
I never had any problems with old people.
All of this started when you came.
[crickets chirping]

Kim, why is the door open?
[Kim] I'm sorry.

[Laura] Mom, we have to get out of here!
The underground tunnel that connects to the cottage that Noah told us about!
It must still exist! We have to find it!
[Laura panting]
[loud thud from beyond door]
[Ella] Noah, you first. Come on, we'll get out this way.
-My angel, it'll be okay. -[Noah sobbing]
[loud thud]
[people shrieking]
[Ella groans, panting]

Noah!
You can do it. Sweetheart.
[Laura] Good job, Noah! Keep going! Keep going!

Laura, is that you?
[sobbing] Alex.
Noah and I are okay, but our parents…
Oh God, I'm sorry. My family's dead too.
Where are you? Can we meet?
[line breaking up] Down by the water. Through the woods, past the monument.
You have to hurry! There are old people everywhere! Come quick!

[Laura sobbing]
[Laura] The last few nights, I've had dreams again and again
about the world in flames.
About a huge fire that consumes everything.
[wind whistling]
[poignant music playing]
And the more I think about everything that happened,
the more I realize
that what my little brother, Noah, and I
experienced this summer
will soon happen all over the world.
[poignant music continues]
How we transform the souls of the solitary into something dark…
and how, ultimately, only love
can overcome grief and fear.
Until we finally,
finally
trust each other.

One day I asked my grandpa
if there was ever a time
when we young people could have warded off the anger that old people feel towards us.
Grandpa smiled and said he was a frail old man
and that he couldn't remember that far back.
But there was a time.
One day.
