of the role of the individual
in Christian belief...

1:43:02
shook the foundations
of a post-feudal Germany...

1:43:04
in the grip of the 16th century.
1:43:11
It was a day much like any other
in the quiet little town of Wittenberg.

1:43:15
Mamie Meyer was preparing fat
for the evening meal...

1:43:17
when the full force
of the Reformation struck.

1:43:20
Mamie! Martin Luther's out!
1:43:23
Martin Luther!
1:43:32
Did you get the suet, Hymie?
1:43:33
Oy vey! The suet! I clean forgot.
1:43:36
The suet? You forgot?
1:43:37
The lard, the fish oil, the butterfat...
1:43:39
the dripping, the wool grease
I remembered, but the suet...

1:43:42
So what do you keep up here?
Adipose tissue?

1:43:45
Look out, here he comes!
1:43:46
Girls, girls! Your father forgot the suet!
1:43:50
Hello, Martin.
1:43:51
- Where's the john?
- We don't have one.

1:43:54
No john? What do you do?
1:43:55
We eat fat.
1:43:57
And that stops you going to the john?
1:43:59
It's a theory.
1:44:00
Yeah, but does it work?
1:44:01
- We ain't got no john.
- Yeah, but do you need to go?

1:44:04
You know how it is with theories.
1:44:06
Some days they're fine,
one, two, three days...

1:44:08
then when it looks
like you're ready to publish...

1:44:10
whoosh! You need a new kitchen floor.
1:44:12
Oh, you should be so lucky!
1:44:15
- Do you need any cleaning inside?
- No, today it's all going fine.

1:44:19
How about showing me the cutlery?
1:44:21
Martin.
I've got a woman and children in there.

1:44:23
So, there's no problem.
I just look at a few spoons.

1:44:27
I've got two girls in there, Martin.
You know what I mean.

1:44:29
Honest. I don't look at your girls.
I don't think about them.

1:44:33
There! I put them out of my mind.
1:44:35
Their arms, their necks, their little legs
and bosoms, I wipe from my mind.

1:44:41
- You just want to see the spoons?
- My life. That's what I want to see.

1:44:47
- I know I'm going to regret this.
- No, listen!

1:44:49
Cutlery is really my thing now.
1:44:51
Girls with round breasts is over for me.
1:44:55
What am I doing?
I know what's going to happen.

1:44:57
I'll crouch behind you.
