Don't worry, Maem.
Your boy will return a better Amish man.
Write us, my son. You hear me?
Write.
Hello.
When you come back home from Rumspringa,
and you get baptized
and married,
you'll grow a beard too.
It's time now.
Dear Daadi, dear Maem.
If only I'd taken your advice and traveled by boat.
Flying is the worst invention you could imagine.
Thank the Lord! I'm finally here. My Rumspringa can finally get started.
By now, I'm already headed to our uncle.
I'll take good care of our family Bible.
That's a promise.
Your boy, Jacob.
Taxi!
They don't care if it's a Basquiat
or a paint-by-numbers picture.
Just find something and write "cow" on it.
I have a gentleman here.
Careful, my bag!
Thank you.
I'll see you soon, okay? Okay, see you.
I speak German.
Well, then, enjoy Berlin.
My stuff!
-Have a good flight. -I'm not flying.
I'm just picking someone up.
Stop!
My sack!
-Carriage lady, follow that machine. -Say what?
Follow that car, please. Be so kind.
How great is this!
This is so wild!
So, who are we following?
My sack.
Your bags?
But your dough isn't in there, right?
-You have money? -I'm Amish.
My people think money in itself has no value.
Hello.
List?
Do you have any more glitter?
Mother of God!
Vintage. Retro.
Let's take a picture.
No!
Don't take pictures.
-Okay. -What's with him?
The Lord doesn't want us to take pictures.
It's vain.
-What did he say? -No idea.
I have no idea.
What's up?
So, this one here.
Is that it?
This one.
Hello. Who are you?
What?
Good, thanks.
-13.60. -I'm Amish too.
Come again?
I'm on Rumspringa. You too, right?
No, I'm on beer.
-See you. Ciao. -Bye.
I lost my sack with the money and the family Bible.
I have to find them.
Please be so kind.
My uncle was picking me up at the airship field.
At the airship field? Really?
He must still be there.
Hey, what are you babbling about?
IN 10 MINUTES
Boys, change of plans. I'll be in touch, okay?
What's your deal? Are you following me or something?
-Yes. -Yeah?
Well, I don't want you to, man. Now beat it.
What's wrong with you, man?
Please be so kind.
I have to get to my Mennonites.
-I need my stuff-- -Hey!
This is a bike path, asshole!
Just keep moving.
Don't look over there.
Fine, then.
HOW DO YOU TREAT CUTS?
Today, I'll show you how to treat a cut with household items.
It's best if you cool it
and cover it with a Band-Aid or bandage.
If it keeps bleeding,
please see a doctor.
Here. You have to keep it cold somehow.
This is actually my pizza, but if it helps…
Bro, I think he needs a Band-Aid too.
Alf? The door was open.
I love your messages.
I didn't send you any.
No, I mean in general.
Your messages are always nice messages.
Did someone send you a honeypot?
What? No. No one.
And you just came by, or…
There's this Amish guy here.
-He got run over by some yuppie. -Amish?
Yeah.
They live so sustainably.
-So fascinating! -Totally. Super fascinating.
Of course, the honeypot was from me.
I have to go.
Bye.
Where to?
Stress at work. You have stuff to do here anyway.
What?
Help him.
Right. No, he'll be gone in no time.
-You're such a Nazi sometimes. -A Nazi?
You never take responsibility, not even for a refugee.
But… he didn't even flee.
-He just-- -You're so extreme, Alf.
Extremely selfish.
You want to go because you have a bit of stress at work,
and I'm the extremely selfish one?
I'm Freja.
I'm a huge fan of your eco-culture.
Jacob Hostetler of the Hostetler family from Amish country.
That's so cool.
If we all lived like the Amish do,
this world wouldn't go under in 50 years.
Jacob,
what is a good person like you doing in Berlin, of all places?
I'm on Rumspringa.
This is when we can do all the things that are normally forbidden.
-So cool. -To be sure that we want to stay Amish.
Like a sabbatical.
The things I'd love to do.
Something with my hands, build a garden.
Pick weeds,
pottery.
-No, other things. -Something with orphans.
No, we get to see what the other world is like.
It's okay for us to get together, drink.
-Party. -Nice.
You found the right teacher.
Jacob, I think Alf could learn more from you than the other way around.
That's great.
Alf, we Amish are happy to help everyone.
I have to go.
I'm working on something bigger than me. I want to do good.
But who am I telling that to?
Bye.
Bye, Bo.
Sorry, I'd really like to help you,
but today is a bit
inconvenient.
All right.
Wait a second, a little something…
I have…
Do you have PayPal?
-Bo, do you have… -Crypto.
Just Crypto.
It's fine. Big thank you, Alf.
Big thank you, Mr. Bo for the Band-Aid.
STOP THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT
Bro, I'm not Amish.
Dude!
Bo, did you use up all my papers?
What for?
Big thank you. The Lord be with you.
Young man.
Your trash.
Give me your money.
And your phone.
-I don't have one. -Are you lying?
Hold onto him.
I don't have a phone.
-What's wrong with him? -Help.
Help.
Hey, what's with you guys?
Can't you see that he's disabled, you little punks?
Come on, beat it!
-Bye-bye, Adolf. -Alf.
Loser.
I don't hit people.
Yeah, I can tell.
Where's your beard?
I needed a change.
Two weeks max, okay? Less is fine.
And you pay rent.
That's the part where you pay to sleep here.
-I'm against that, by the way. -Bo!
Who's the main renter?
There are a few house rules.
Rent is due weekly.
You have to leave during the day because…
Because we need space to think.
Other than that, no pets, no bad music, and don't use the landline.
And if you see women here, don't babble on about Amish stuff.
Alf, don't worry. That's just how we'll do it.
I have my own rules.
I get up and go to bed with the sun,
pray when we eat, and use the day to do good.
…except for the harmonica, but only in the field--
Listen up. Here we say,
"Sometimes you eat the bear,
and sometimes the bear eats you."
Do we have a deal?
All right. Deal.
Big thank you.
-Big thank you. -Yeah.
Big thank you.
Do you work with wood?
Sometimes, yeah.
-How many logs can you chop in a minute? -Fifteen.
Come here!
Die, you alien!
These English!
Where's my food?
Is your wife shopping?
My wife? Wife? You mean Freja?
She's not my wife.
So she's your sister?
We have sex, Jacob.
Well, for the most part.
If she ever gets in touch again.
I don't really care. I don't always get in touch with her.
It's a free country.
Drink up.
This is exceptional!
Very good.
So.
-Any idea who has your sack? -Nah.
That gentlewoman was really
good-looking.
She had a card with a pattern on it.
I don't know what it means.
I think it's top secret.
Dude, that's a QR code.
Okay, I'll help you then.
Big thank you.
Cool, right?
Does it have six cylinders?
Yeah?
Can I sit in it?
That was loud.
My daadi gave me a carriage when I turned 16.
My carriage was inherited.
For my Abi.
Abi? What's that?
High school diploma.
You did learn how to read and write, right?
-And arithmetic. -Arithmetic.
That's all you need.
So then your daadi just gave you a carriage?
Just because?
No real reason?
To take my girl home after Bible study.
I just haven't found a girl yet.
My daadi and I are very saddened by that.
My "daadi" is only saddened if I don't have a career.
Career?
Is that what you have to do in your life?
No idea.
What do you have to do?
Be a good person.
Isn't this Seitanbraten?
Do you have saumage?
Saumage?
Saumage. You do it like this.
You take the hog's stomach,
put potatoes in it and…
We met a woman.
Well, we almost met her, and she lost this card.
That's a loyalty card.
Only premium members get these.
Premium.
-Address? -This is a protected space.
We respect humans and animals.
Difficult.
Dude, she just needs to scan the damn card at the register
and you'll have the name, address, everything about her.
Hey, my dear boy!
I could work too.
Can you cook?
Only womenfolk cook.
-You said premium members, right? -Yes.
What do you have to do to get so high up in the food chain here?
Four to-go orders a month.
I heard no one in Berlin is as good a delivery guy as he is.
Does he have a car?
You're too good, Mr. Bo.
But when roller hockey starts again, I want them back.
For sure.
Did you build that?
Yeah, my final project.
You like it?
It's really pretty.
-What is it? -A library.
Really think about it.
What bothers you the most when you walk into a library?
That there are so many books
that you don't know which one to read.
But my library will be run by apps.
Smart architecture.
You see the reviews as you walk by the books.
Imagine you walk in like this.
You walk in, and everything is completely full.
I'd already have picked my book.
Okay, which one?
The Old Testament.
Of course, but you wouldn't know the next one.
Yes, I would.
The New Testament.
Dude, the Bible! Nothing else?
-Only what the Lord says matters. -Attack!
Right.
-You have everything. -Big thank you.
I don't think your people are my target group.
Dear Daadi, dear Maem, I have to stay in Berlin a bit longer.
Something bad happened.
I lost our family Bible.
But don't worry, the Lord sent me a helper.
He's English. His name is Alf.
He seems a bit lonely to me,
and I don't know what he does all day long
in his shared apartment,
but he is good at heart.
Until I have found the gentlewoman who took our family Bible…
Hello?
Who is it? Hello?
Your food is here.
Believe it or not, I even get to live with them.
As long as I keep trying to live a good Amish life every day.
Your boy, Jacob.
Good evening.
The Amish guy, Jesus!
Heart attack.
I can't sleep on the sofa anymore. I really need a bed now.
This is a good tree for a bed. We Amish build everything ourselves.
Okay, are we doing this or what?
How many logs can you chop in a minute again?
Twenty-four, I think.
Yeah?
Good.
-Me? -Yeah.
For sure.
You darn English! That swing could've crippled you!
Then you show me how it's done.
-I'm about to show you how it's done. -I can't wait.
Move up a bit further.
-Now. -Here?
Yes, up top.
And now…
What does that mean?
It's Hostetler!
Are you ready, my son?
For life as an Amish in the Amish community?
For the rest of all time with a wife?
And no temptations from the outside world?
Yes, Daadi.
You hid your car magazine.
Ina Kantas?
Thanks.
Stop! Who is that gentlewoman?
Stop!
-Hey! -Is that Ina Kantas?
She has my family Bible.
I was about to throw it away. Bye.
NAME AND BIRTHDATE
Look.
In our old family Bible,
we're all together.
There, in the old country,
in Germany.
That's where your roots are.
Nothing is wrong with you.
Maybe they'll know where you come from.
Go there and fill the empty page!
Every single name in your entire family?
Dude, back to 1754?
And this is the last Hostetler.
One page is still empty.
When I know who the first of us was in the old country,
I'll know why I'm Amish and can be baptized.
That's so crazy!
How do I get to my Mennonites tomorrow?
Okay…
An ICE train goes there.
I-C-E.
I could drive you.
I mean, you probably aren't allowed to ride a train, right?
No, we can use everything,
as long as we're not the driver.
But you've been a big help. Big thank you.
But I'll find my way alone.
I've never slept so late in my entire life.
It's eight o'clock, man.
Go back to sleep.
-Hold still. -What are you doing?
Before you go to your Mennonites, I have a little goodbye present for you.
Go take a look.
Like a married man.
My friend, Jorge, is having a goodbye party,
and I'm co-hosting it.
So…
would you maybe like to tag along?
Come on, dude. You can Rumspringa for at least one night.
I don't know.
Okay, you know what?
I'll go alone.
Do what you want with your beard. Walk around the block.
Do whatever your relatives would do with one. Bye.
I'm coming.
Bo, dude!
-The Amish guy's going to his first party. -Yeah.
Don't do that.
That's not cool.
Do like this,
then… snap.
Come on.
Hey! Hello!
-Hi! -Hi!
Awesome party!
BYE JORGE & JACOB
If we lose each other, we can meet here by the tub.
Where'd you get that shirt? It's so sick.
My maem made it for me.
There you are!
Alfi! From Melmac?
And who are you?
This is Urs. He's an investor.
-Sorry, what? -For my start-up.
What?
To do good, Alf.
Jacob knows what I'm talking about.
A reusable Q-tip.
An everyday object done sustainably. Highly instagrammable. Female led.
And after one round of funding,
five million euros!
Why didn't you tell me about it?
It was on my feed.
I sent you a few messages.
I wanted to ask if you maybe…
I don't want to get all traditional or anything,
but could you see the two of us being
exclusive?
Exclusive?
Monogamous.
Here, a gift. Do you Amish people use Q-tips?
Beard looks good on you.
What is this?
For dipping.
-Enjoy. -Big thank you.
Melon tastes a bit different here.
It's wonderful.
What is?
What you built for college.
Smart architecture.
If I bomb the exam, then that's it.
My father will ask me what he did wrong again.
Why does he send you money every month?
I saw the bank statements on the table.
That's right.
The Amish guy can read.
I went to school for eight years.
My daadi said that I knew enough then.
Is that true, Alf?
Is it better?
Why am I not asked what I want to be?
Reading nothing, just the Bible.
You know what?
-I think it's time. -For what?
For Jacob's
very first… beer.
No.
Good heavens! Praise be to God. This is good!
You know what we're going to do now?
We're going out and dancing.
Nah.
-Nah. -Yes.
-Nah. -We're doing it. For sure.
-Alf, please. -Let's go.
You're coming now.
Alf, I'm not allowed to do that.
Leave it.
Hey, come on now. You, dance.
-Look, everyone's dancing. -It's not allowed.
You're on Rumspringa!
God is love
He even loves me
Do you renounce the world
to serve only Jesus,
who died on the cross for you?
Yes.
You are baptized in the faith you know.
In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
He who believes
and is baptized
shall be blessed.
I thought I'd say bye to you.
I'm Ina. From the airport.
I had your sack.
Come on, dear.
It's not getting better.
Yeah, okay…
Well, we're moving on.
Will you still be in Berlin tomorrow? I'd like to invite you over to say sorry.
Tomorrow night?
You have my address.
Hey, where did the Amish guy go?
Sorry, I shouldn't have left you alone.
Dude, what happened to your beard?
Good thing the Amish aren't vain.
Mr. Bo…
I want to die.
Oh my God!
Oh my God! There!
-What? -It's a hamster!
-It's an otter. -A hamster!
Calm down, man. It's a beaver.
We'll just google it, okay?
Jacob. Jacob, take it away!
POSTS
You're bathing.
You like her, don't you?
Nah!
"Nah!"
I just want to give her a big thank you for looking after my sack.
Sure, that's all.
Yes. I'm leaving here tomorrow.
We can stay in touch, if you feel like it.
I'll FaceTime you.
I swear you look much better, bro.
Go on. You got this.
Hello, Ina. Big thank you for the invitation.
I didn't think you'd come.
You invited me. If someone invites me, I accept it.
You're dripping.
Want to come in?
New haircut?
I needed a change.
I get that. I'll grab you something to change into.
Big thank you.
Do you like vegan?
All of the sins I've committed here.
Well, there are a few really serious ones on here.
Roller skating?
We're not allowed to.
Others can. It's complicated.
I'm Amish. On Rumspringa.
When you're allowed to break the rules. I know.
I googled you guys.
But you still feel guilty.
You like any of it?
-I don't know. -You don't have to.
It's a matter of taste.
Maybe I should stay with you guys.
I can give a TEDx on feminism.
It would all end up okay, right?
Right?
In any case, this would be my gift to everyone.
And housesitting in Sicily? Imagine it.
I just said yes.
Then I'm not imagining it anymore.
Because I'm going with you.
I used to go to galleries after school because it was free.
My first love.
And you?
Is falling in love a sin for you guys?
We only fall in love once.
We stay together our entire lives.
I'm doing a cleansing right now.
What are you cleaning?
I'm abstaining from sex.
That means I'm living the same sexless life as you,
just that I know what I'm missing.
Are you staying the night?
As far as prospective goes,
I have no time at all for a relationship
and no patience at all.
And no patience for kids.
I mean, once kids come along,
where does that put me and my relationship?
It's all so complicated.
But it's all very simple.
The man is the man, and the woman is the woman.
Is that right?
What?
Sleep tight.
Good night.
Are you married?
I haven't found my woman yet.
I thought I'd found her once.
I took a girl home after Bible study
in my carriage.
And?
Her name is Ruth.
We've known each other since we were five.
Ruth.
And what's she like?
She's hard-working,
and she's strong.
What?
Okay, that's really very important.
But,
anything romantic as well?
She has red hair.
Something romantic!
What do you think
when you look into her eyes?
Brown.
When I close my eyes,
I can see her eyes.
When I look into them, I forget to breathe for a moment.
How nice for her.
But then she chose my brother, David.
I feel
a little weird.
I have to go now.
I can't sleep either.
And Freja lit a scented candle.
It stinks. Disgusting.
Next level.
-Are you sure? -Yes, my son.
Why isn't it starting?
I can't do it.
Yeah!
Cheers.
I'd also believe in the Lord if I could drive a machine.
If I could play a piano.
-If I could wear pants with a zipper. -What do you have instead?
Alf, are you in love with Freja?
I'm scared I'll go to a fortune-teller, and she'll say
I've already met the love of my life, and it was Freja.
-You've told her that already, right? -No way, that's so cringe.
You have to be true to each other, don't pretend.
You have to commit.
Things work differently here. It's more like a dance, a game.
Just children's games.
You have to know each other as you really are.
-What do you like about your Freja? -Lots.
Well, apart from the obvious, of course.
Well, she always thinks of others first, of the environment.
Like with her start-up.
The sustainable Q-tips. That's huge!
Don't let anyone tell you another path is better
just because you haven't found yours yet.
Right back at you.
What about you?
What?
You're in love, man.
-Nah! -You are.
-Nah! Nah! -I can smell it on you. Really.
And I'm not talking about some girl from Pennsylvania
you met in the sandbox, who's actually your half-sister.
That's no good, Alf. I need an Amish girl.
A good wife.
Dude!
Hold up.
You have a beer in your hand,
you drove a '67 Mercedes Pagoda and you're talking about a good wife?
Dude, you're still on Rumspringa!
You have to enjoy your life, try things out, man!
Go party!
Stay here a bit longer.
Things are starting to get fun with you.
And I…
I wanted to apologize.
I kind of used you a little at first
to get Freja.
So, sorry.
Everything is forgiven.
TICKET BERLIN SÜDKREUZ - FRANKENTHAL
Yes!
Five to four.
Sorry!
-I'm a bitch when it comes to winning. -It's okay.
It'd just be good if no one died in the process.
At least not another woman. Girl power!
Jacob, why am I here?
This is how we Amish get to know our girl.
I see.
Do you want to keep playing?
Hey, Jay.
Jay, ball.
We won!
What is it?
I've never seen a girl who's that bad at volleyball,
but I still don't care.
Is that a compliment?
Yes.
I used to have a doctor's note for sports. About six years of period pain.
Where's the pain?
Here.
Sorry, I forgot.
That you're Amish and that we're from two completely different worlds.
What do you mean by that?
I always feel like I have to protect you from me.
I'm not trying to seduce you or anything.
The man has to take care of the woman.
No, that's not true.
You shouldn't talk about "seduction" and "period pain."
Menstruation!
Vulva!
I'm Amish.
Bye, Amish.
Menstruation.
And what now?
Listen to this.
God is love He's my salvation
God is love He loves even me
And so I sing it again God is love
He loves even me
It isn't over yet.
Unzip it.
We can't use zippers.
Just pull on it.
On that nipple thing there.
You're beautiful.
Your Q-tips are all over the place.
They're pricking me.
-You can throw them away. -What? Why?
Why should I throw them away?
Urs jumped ship. I had to fire the team.
What?
You're kidding, right?
Hold up.
But what about the five-million-euro investment?
Gone. All of it.
Urs was more investing in me and him.
What a prick!
But,
why didn't you tell me?
I wasn't looking for pity.
So now it's
all garbage?
I already have the next idea. Plus, we'll be housesitting in Sicily.
You know, the…
the Amish guy told me to be true to myself and
to others,
and I want to be true to you, Freja.
You…
You know, every day you're someone new.
New likes, new convictions.
Yesterday's amazing thing is today's old news.
Your sustainable Q-tips here,
they're all garbage now.
Just like it is with us.
I mean, imagine
if things get difficult between us, would you throw me away too?
You're right, maybe…
Maybe I'm selfish.
But,
it's not just me.
-But this right now is all about you. -Yeah, or about you.
But never us.
Bye, Alf.
I won't see you again, right?
Bye, Freja.
Are you okay?
What's wrong?
When will the other men be joining us?
What?
Did Alf show you pornos?
Nah.
Mr. Bo.
Forget everything you saw in them, okay?
Almost everything.
-Are you up? -Yeah, I'm already up.
I really sinned.
No way!
And how was it?
Terribly good.
You're a killer, bro!
We aren't doing that.
Okay, very quietly.
Did he bang her?
Yeah, man.
-Aw, man. Even the Amish guy. -Even him, dude!
But be careful. You could have emotional overload.
Nah.
Has something changed?
Yeah.
I ended it with Freja.
Or I don't know. She ended it with me. Maybe we both did.
I don't know, but it's definitely over now.
And how do you feel?
Relieved.
Your stepmother called.
I answered it by mistake.
Mr. Bo!
The apartment rules?
You see? Listen to the Amish guy.
What did you tell her?
-That you're not here. -Nice. What did she say?
That your father died.
Funny. Now what did she say?
That your father died.
I didn't like him very much anyway.
Why should I be crying?
That'd be absurd.
It's all right, Alf.
Will you come to the funeral?
Sure, brother.
It's just "bro."
Bro.
Dear Daadi, dear Maem. I found our family Bible again,
but I won't be seeing the Mennonites for a while
because another bad thing happened.
My new friend Alf has an aching heart, and I have to help him out
in any way I can.
He's not so sure about himself, and he told me that he has never known
which path is right, and which is wrong,
where his place is, where he should go or what he should do.
But do not worry…
And that's why, my dear friends, my friends in art,
I am happy and proud of this evening.
This exhibition was curated like no other before it.
It gives the beautiful sentence "Only art can save us" a new dimension.
Did I just sound really cheesy?
You're looking for what's real,
for what's behind it all.
That's not cheesy.
Come with me.
It's wonderful.
Don't touch!
This is mine. Why's it here?
Because it is art.
Says who?
Ina.
It is art if Ina says that it's art.
-Do you understand? -Nah.
And there it is.
Jacob Hostetler. Here's the artist. Here's the collector.
Rufus from Preppy.
We provide experts for everyday life.
Jacob is Amish.
How long have you been Amish?
Since I was born.
I like that.
That's authentic.
I want your work.
But you can't.
Sold. For 25,000.
Do we want to go to the Green Week?
I thought maybe
because you want to be more green, and I've never been.
Good morning, artist.
Good morning, Ina.
I should've asked you about your pasteboard beforehand.
Are you coming back?
…be the gleam of a rainbow, a walk across a vast countryside,
the friendly wink of a stranger and an angel shall take you by the hand.
"September 7th, 500 euros."
"Hello, Son. October's rent. Love, Dad."
"October 23rd, 100 euros."
"It's already fall, but get yourself an ice cream."
"December 5th, 500 euros."
"Christmas is coming."
"I hope you'll come."
-"Love, Father Christmas." -Could you drop the euro amounts?
I'm so sorry.
I wanted to come, but I overslept.
Overslept?
Yes.
You wake up at sunrise every day your whole life
but oversleep the day of the funeral?
Yes.
You know what?
You're one shitty friend.
-Alf. -No, don't "Alf" me.
-Bo was there, you understand? -I was there.
I'm really sorry.
Ina sold my picture for lots of money. We partied and drank, and I have this…
hangover.
Hangover?
What's wrong with you, Amish guy?
You said Rumspringa is party time.
Yeah, one big-ass party, man!
My dad's funeral would be the perfect day!
That's exactly what I meant.
Alf, I have a whole lot of money. I want to give you some.
Jacob, are you out of your mind? Why would I take money from you?
Because your daadi's gone. Who's going to take care of you?
Definitely not you.
At least I'm doing something.
You spend time with me just to avoid your studies
and beginning your life.
Out!
Just get out.
Look at that ride.
All right.
I'm Jacob Hostetler from Amish country.
Peter Hochstedtler from the old country. Hostetler, Hochstedtler.
Sounds like we could be related.
It sure took you a long time.
Shall we?
Fuck my life, dude.
What a prick.
I was so ashamed because of the funeral.
I just drove off.
And this is the original leather.
How did he keep it in such good condition?
It is the dearest thing he has.
And what's the dearest thing you have?
I don't know.
I didn't know either at your age.
I really had no clue.
There are lots of people at my age who still don't know.
It can happen to anyone.
When I didn't know if I would stay with God
or forever be on
Rumspringa,
I asked lots of people to find out which path is the path for me.
And you know who had the answer?
Who?
No one.
I had to figure it out all by myself.
Then,
my Hannah came along.
Hannah was the answer to everything.
She was… She is the dearest thing I have.
She and our eight spoiled children.
How and where I wanted to live didn't matter,
as long as it was with her!
You're the only one who can answer this question.
Whether that's Amish, English, or Mennonite.
Not as a Mennonite.
Why?
What's so wrong about the way we live?
Are you allowed to grow beards?
Yes, we're allowed to in Germany.
I don't understand it, but we…
A lot of the Amish Ordnung doesn't make sense to me.
Me neither.
Zippers, for example.
They make life easier.
I've seen that.
Have you already found what you're looking for?
I want to find my roots.
FAMILY CHRONICLE
MY CHILDREN
Here.
Jakob Hofstedtler, your ancestor from the old country.
FAMILY CHRONICLE JAKOB HOFSTEDTLER
Did your daadi tell you to fill the empty page in the old country?
This old trick that parents play.
Jacob,
your daadi meant well for you.
You're searching.
He wanted you to have your own experiences.
You know…
you won't find all the answers in here.
The only person who knows what to do with your life is you,
even as an Amish person.
Do you have any wood I could use?
Good day to you.
We rented your mattress to someone else.
-Where's Alf? -He went to the airport?
But his exam!
He didn't go.
Because of the shit you pulled with the funeral.
Even I was there.
Me.
Dear passengers…
Ticket, please.
And now your ID, please.
That'd be so romantic if he proposed to a woman now.
-Please take the horse. -No, I think he's here for me.
Or a man, of course. My apologies.
Alf, wait!
-What is it now? -I built you a new one.
For the exam.
Smart architecture, designed by English, made by Amish.
But I'm not going.
I'm housesitting in Sicily by myself.
What?
You wanted me to commit. Here you go.
Alf, you have to finish school.
I was only in school for eight years and look how poorly I'm doing here.
I think you're doing just fine.
I was in a library.
I want to read all the books, but I don't know what to read first.
I need your app.
Really.
Dear passengers…
-So you're my target audience after all? -For sure.
Did you total my Pagoda?
Were you homesick or why the horse?
I ran out of gas.
Yeah!
Dear Daadi, dear Maem.
Maybe don't tell the bishop, but this is my decision.
I'm staying in Berlin and on Rumspringa a while longer.
Let me tell you, I'm totally trippin'.
I think that's supposed to mean I feel good
because I learned
the best invention in life is life itself.
There's a lot of Rumspringa to be done in Berlin.
Tell that to the bishop,
or rather not,
but I think I'm figuring out who I am and what I can do.
It'd be a shame to see all this and let it pass me by.
I don't know yet when I'll go back home to Pennsylvania
because these people can really use an Amish person.
That makes me feel good.
I miss you and will see you later.
Jacob,
your little boy.
Bro!
