I talked to Kim.

I talked to Kim.

And what did she say?

Kim will change.

Kim won't change.

She wants to change?

I didn't talk to her about that, Sabine.

You'll get it right, Frank. You just have to keep at it.

I think her decision is right.

I couldn't do anything.

You didn't want her to change for my sake, did you?

This is not about whether we love her, Frank!

What is?

Oh yes it is!

It's about whether or not Kim has a place in our society.

And if the answer is "no", then it's our fault! Yours and mine.

It's about accepting her exactly as she is.

And not wanting to bend her into another person.

You are a dreamer, Frank.

Absolutely no one is who they want to be in this society.

Do you think I enjoy being the tough careerist and constantly reprimanding my daughter?

I'd rather be the nice mom, too!

But I can't be. And you shirk your responsibility as a father!

...

Say something, Frank! Do you want our daughter to end up in prison?

She won't.

I won't let that happen.

But then you'll have to do something about it, Frank!

Yes, she will. That's what's going to happen if you keep ducking every decision, Frank!

You're just a janitor, you can't do anything about it.

Can't we love her the way she is?

But if she does not adapt, then she will lose her recommendation for the university!

And if she doesn't study, then she'll have to work on the assembly line! Or in the quarry!

We can't let that happen, Frank!

We've already lost so much. Your job, your apartment, your friends...

I can't stand it if they fire me too, or Alexander gets kicked out of his pioneer group.

Kim has to change, Frank!

You're exaggerating.

Chill out.

Kim lives in our house, Frank! We're responsible for her actions.

At least that's how the ministry will see it!

We have to protect ourselves. So think of something!

Good! Thanks, Frank.

That calms me down now. You just have a better access to her, honey!

After all, she's coming to meet you.

If it means so much to you.

Will she take that nasty metal off her face?

I think she'll be a little more understanding of you.

That's something.

This stubborn child! Doesn't she know what that means?

As the daughter of a pioneer leader! What will people say about that?

... Property manager.

I was able to get through to her, I think. She wants to change.

She won't change, Sabine. Kim is like that.

And I'm quite happy about it. I think her decision is right.

Unfortunately I couldn't do anything with Kim, Sabine.

What else is it about, Sabine?

Yes, that's exactly what it's about, Sabine!

Sabine, don't say that! She won't end up in jail!

Believe me, Sabine, I'll know how to prevent that!

Honey, don't you think you're exaggerating a little?

Calm down, Sabine. I'll think of something.

But she's already made compromises. Can't you finally accept her as she is?

If it is so important to you. I can try.
