Ich trag dich bis ans Ende der Welt

And when she wants to take the roast lamb to her hard-working husband, she sees him busy taking his secretary's clothes off. That's it. Anna is off. In high heels and smeared mascara, she climbs onto the train to the last station before the Pyrenees, joining her father on his quest for... for what?
