Frenho is probably finishing
the painting.

:51:04
Marianne'd better not see it...
:51:07
when it's over.
:51:08
Why?
:51:10
What can it do?
:51:12
Frenhofer won't protect her.
:51:16
I'd been his model for a long time...
:51:20
his favourite model...
:51:23
unique, you could say.
:51:28
First...
:51:30
he wanted to paint me
because he loved me,

:51:34
and then...
:51:44
Then because he loved me...
:51:47
he didn't want to paint me.
:51:50
It was me or painting,
that's what he said.

:51:59
I don't understand.
:52:01
It wasn't a question
of life and death.

:52:04
Why not?
:52:05
They say when you're drowning...
:52:08
you suddenly see all your life.
:52:10
All the forgotten memories.
:52:13
In a fraction of a second.
:52:16
Is it really possible...
:52:19
to capture a whole life...
:52:22
on the canvas of a painting?
:52:25
Just like that... with a few...
:52:28
traces of paint?
:52:31
It seems unbelievable...
:52:34
but actually this is what
Frenhofer was searching for.

:52:41
You mean this is something...
:52:45
shameless?
:52:49
Yes, that's it... shameless.
:52:54
It's not the flesh that's shameless,
:52:58
it's not the nudity...
