For some odd reason, I'm on this foreign web site...

http://www.infilm.net/index02.html

But if anyone can translate THIS:


"Stellen Sie sich vor, sie waschen sich morgens und plötzlich macht sich Ihr Spiegelbild selbstständig."

It would be greatly appreciated. I'm not sure what language it is, but I think it's about the short. Can anyone translate that???

Ok....I went to a translation website, and here's the rough translation:

"You imagine wash, it yourself mornings and suddenly make yourself your reflection independent."

Yeah...

Yes, I got a strikingly similar translation.

"Imagine, them wash yourselves in the morning and suddenly make yourselves your mirror image independent"

I think this is something close:

"Imagine, you wash yourself every morning and suddenly your reflection makes itself independent."

It's German. It's a little confusing, because it starts off in the formal (capital Sie, which is the polite way of saying "you" in the singular), but switches to lower case sie, whice means "they", not "you." Later on, however, it capitalizes Ihr, which is a posessive pronoun. Ihr is only capitalized in conjunction with the use of the formal nominative, leading me to believe that the lower case sie was indeed supposed to be Sie.
All that being said, here's an accurate, although not literal translation (you guys weren't too far off):

"Imgine that you're washing up one morning and your reflection suddenly comes to life."

A translation program can't compete with actually speaking the language. They always translate every word literally, and languages don't work that way.

I think it means:
"Yes"

Well, I guess all those translations do make sense with the movie, but that doesn't answer why I'm mysteriously appearing on German film sites!!!

Now what do you mean "your" on the site? Your film is on the site? Your name? Your picture?
