Well, it's not beautiful,
but he gave it to her.

:39:05
And Anita gave it to me
shortly before her death.

:39:10
She had valuable paintings,
but sold them all to pay the creditors.

:39:16
Did she have many debts?
:39:19
The money her husband left her
didn't last long,

:39:24
and Turkish baths were
already out of fashion.

:39:28
- Was she married?
- Yes,

:39:32
to Ender, the king of coffee.
They separated after 20 days.

:39:38
"Ender" means "rare" in Turkish.
:39:44
He was quite an extravagant fellow.
:39:51
After the divorce, Anita invested
:39:57
part of the money she got
from her husband in the hamam.

:40:02
a very "ender" thing
for a woman, in those times.

:40:06
The old times
are the best of times...

:40:12
Thinking of my life,
I see it as a long holiday,

:40:17
and find myself
looking back like a fool for hours.

:40:23
Some more cognac?
:40:26
No, thanks.
:40:30
Did my aunt ever speak
to you about my mother?

:40:36
She didn't like to speak about the past,
but I think that

:40:40
- she was very attached to her.
- And about me?

:40:44
- Did she ever speak about me?
- Yes.

:40:47
I knew she wanted
to leave the hamam to you,

:40:51
but she made up her mind
after your mother's death.

:40:54
But have you sold it yet?
:40:58
- Not yet.
- What are you waiting for?
