"Sandrews makes good films..."

Lena Nyman. Drama Student. Age 22.

-Please!
-No.

Vilgot Sj�man. Director. Age 42.

-But I really want to.
-No.

I am curious

I'm not! You and your films!

-I thought it was my mum.
-Your mum!

Buy our film, the only film in two versions: one yellow, one blue!

Buy the yellow, buy the blue, buy them both, there's two.

The same, but different, that's true.

-True, not mellow.
-Blue and yellow.

-This is the yellow version!
-Buy the yellow version!

a yellow film

Yevtushenko. Russian poet. Age 33.

Louder!

Right on, radical students!

Farther left!

Left! Left! Left!

Farther left!

"in Rio de Janeiro, you can screw for free..."

Do you see that guy? His name's Magnus. He's an actor.

He'd be great as the slave. I could have a love scene with him.

-What kind of love scene?
-Just a quickie, you know.

Well...

Dear friends!

I've heard this is a revolutionary student organization.

But if you organize the revolution like this meeting, can it succeed?!

It's a damned shame she doesn't understand politics.

But God, drama students...!

Over Babi Yar-

-there are no memorials.

The steep hillside...

I must tell Lena about the fate of Swedish socialism.

No, about the two heads of Swedish socialism.

The big, self-satisfied one and the little, shrunken one.

I like my own sweet name

I like the touch of fame

LENA ON THE ROAD

I "smuggled" Lena into my bed. She doesn't dare tell her mum.

Her mum thinks she's spending the night with a girlfriend.

It's bad to fall for your star. You get blind to her affectations.

Bergman used to say that. It never happened to him, though.

I met Lena when we shot "491," but nothing much happened then.

We felt a little attraction. Small fireworks, that's all.

Those were the days!

-Is there a class system in Sweden?
-A class system?

I don't think so.

We have... I mean, everybody sort of sticks together.

I don't know...

-I don't think so.
-You don't?

No politics, thanks.

-Does Sweden have a class system?
-Yes!

An architect or a doctor earns 10-15 times a restaurant worker's wage.

-Do you think that's fair?
-Yes, it's fair.

It takes at least 7 more years of studies and a lot of self-sacrifice.

But 10-15 times more - that's an awful lot. Isn't it too much?

Well... I wouldn't say it's far too much.

It's fair because those who don't have the intellectual ability-

-could never manage a grueling higher education.

-I have to go now.
-Thank you.

-Do women have equal opportunities?
-Yes, I suppose so.

Sure, if not more so. Aren't women the ones who rule now?

-Is this hospital a hierarchy?
-No...

So there's no difference between a doctor and a nurse's assistant?

Well, of course, when you eat...
Yes, when you eat.

-Is there a class system in Sweden?
-No.

-Specifically...?
-I missed the question!

-Does Sweden have a class system?
-I'm not Swedish. But I understand.

I only speak German...

I...not...Swedish.

-Do we have a class system?
-Yes, we do.

In a way.

-No, I don't think so.
-Have the class barriers gone?

We have a bit further to go...

We can't go much further. Wages have to differ for productivity.

No interviews!

It was the white-collar workers in the 30's. The gap's wider today.

It depends on the people. Undress them and they're all alike.

Dress them, and you have a class system.

To learn more about this, I visited the Labour Movement Headquarters.

There can't be a class system.

We live in a democratic society.

-Are you from the Labour Movement?
-No.

-None of you?
-No.

-No.
-No.

Why is the Labour Movement so conservative on women's equality?

Have you found it to be so?

If that's true, it could be because a lot of Swedes are conservative.

So there must be plenty in the Labour Movement, too.

Why don't women have equal job opportunities?

-That's what you allege.
-Are you saying it isn't true?

-I'm just saying: give me proof.
-Present facts, not just words.

My mother is a fur seamstress. She works every day of the year.

-She earns about 14,000 crowns.
-What would I make as a seamstress?

-You'll never be one.
-Who knows?

-Does Sweden have a class system?
-Yes, to a certain extent.

-What're you doing about it?
-I'm going to climb!

-Because I'm part of this society.
-You work in the Labour Movement?

No. I'm an architect.

-Yes, there is a class system.
-What're you doing about it?

-Nothing at the moment, anyway.
-Why not?

Our society has class barriers, and we follow democratic laws-

-over which the individual doesn't have much influence.

-The individual can't do much.
-Can't he or she do anything?

I don't think so.

I'm not an active Union member.

-We're going to negotiate.
-What happens then?

You don't know how these things work?

No. That's why I'm asking you.

-Read the newspapers!
-What happens at such negotiations?

Do they give results? How long will it take to remove class barriers?

A very long time, probably. People are very conservative.

-They don't want radical change.
-Such as what?

Extended governmental activities, for one thing.

And more extensive control over businesses is another.

-Anything else?
-What else are we going to do?

So you think you're doing something to get rid of the class system?

-As much as I can.
-Why can't you do more?

It has to do with what your social position is.

So you have to be at the very top?

No! It must be pressure from below that is felt all the way to the top.

Do the really powerful, influential big shots do what they can, then?

Olof Palme. Minister of Transport. Age 39.

I think we still have strong elements of a class system.

Someone called it a class system based on income-

-and it's easy to see why.

Rural workers earn less than city workers, women earn less than men.

Older people earn less than young.

Our educational system perpetuates the class system.

Those who graduate from university-

-earn 6-7 times more than those-

-who leave school to work out in the countryside.

Come out instead! That banging is recorded on the sound track!

I have found this problem of a class system in Sweden to be a tough one.

-What is your own background?
-I come from a middle-class family.

You read, you see what's happening, and suddenly a pattern emerges.

This happened to me between the ages of 15 and 20-

-when I observed American society.

-You traveled in the States? When?
-in '47-'48. I hitchhiked.

Through 34 states. Three months with no money.

The influences on me are a mixture: fiction has its political importance-

-and political economics and visual impressions. It's a good mixture.

-How much more time do you need?
-Another fifteen minutes.

M�rten ("Mouse"). Age 5.

Mouse! That's right. Mouse wanted to be here.

He forgot his question. He didn't want Olof to become a Minister.

Neither did l!

Foreigners tend to think that we're far ahead of everyone else.

-Are we?
-Compared to other countries, yes.

And compared to Sweden's situation 30-40 years ago, too.

But we haven't come far-

-in making our dream of an egalitarian society come true.

Most of the work is yet to be done.

But isn't it sad that after 30 years in power-

-our Social Democratic government has achieved so little there?

-Not right now!
-Are you pissed off?

Yes, you are pissed off!

1974...that's in 6-7 years.

-So you intend to live that long.
-Stop horsing around, will you!

You are sulking!

Hell, yes! After the way you and Magnus behaved at the Palme's!

To make this film I need some peace, and there you sit while I'm trying...

I can't listen to Palme. I don't know what he's talking about.

You could at least pretend to understand what it's all about.

Is that why I don't get a love scene with Magnus? You're crazy!

You want a girl in your film and a girl in your bed, don't you?

And if you can combine the two, all the better, right?

So what? Don't you want the leading role and someone in bed, too?

-So who is using whom?
-Okay, but not on the same terms.

Martin Luther King. Age 37.

-I like him.
-Yes, of course you do.

He talks about more interesting things than Palme, in my opinion.

Non-violence?

Isn't that what Mods do?

-Have you heard of non-violence?
-No, I haven't.

Thank you!

Aren't they those educated people who don't want to hurt others?

Martin Luther King, for instance.

-Do you know of his methods?
-He won't fight for his beliefs.

-Can you see better or worse?
-Worse, I think.

Could you consider being a conscientious objector?

No.

No.

Yes.

I want to get out as quickly as possible.

I think it'll go faster if you don't resist.

You have to serve longer if you won't bear arms.

The army pays me for ten months, I get to live here in Stockholm-

-with free room and board.
-What's more, learn how to kill.

We are part of a system of violence.

YOU ARE FREE FROM MILITARY DUTY

-So we should maintain our defense?
-Absolutely not.

-Why not refuse completely?
-One should refuse military service.

But one shouldn't refuse to work for peace in some civil institution.

We encourage all citizens
to refuse military service.

If Sweden were occupied, how would we defend ourselves?

I wasn't taught such things, because I wasn't trained for combat.

Ask people who were.

I don't think so.

It depends on their military rank.

What would you others do if we were invaded?

Not give up. Sweden doesn't give up.

And ignore all the radio messages that say Sweden's defeated.

-Is that what you learn?
-It's in the book "In Case of War."

REFUSE TO KILL!

REFUSE MILITARY SERVICE!

NON-VIOLENCE IS YOUR DEFENCE!

If you can teach everyone in the country, they have a better chance!

IF WE ARE OCCUPIED

If they learn that many of them will be tortured, many will die.

But the advantage is that less people will die this way-

-than in a war where people throw bombs. So you reduce the losses.

That sure as hell has to be worth something! Where were we...?

SOCIAL DEMOCRACY: ITS GUILTY CONSCIENCE

We have negotiation, demonstrations, strikes, sit-ins, hunger strikes...

NON-COOPERATIOIN

Civil disobedience, fraternization...

-Paralyze the entire society...
-Is parallel government on the list?

-Who do we send this to?
-The Commander in Chief.

-I tried the shower yesterday.
-Yeah? How did it work?

It didn't. I held it the way you told me to.

Why not try a vacuum cleaner? I know a girl who does.

No, I prefer using a vibrator.

THE NYMAN INSTITUTE

What have you got there?

Stolen goods?!

Don't worry, he's asleep.

Dad! Civil war in Spain!

Riots in �dalen, workers shot! A general strike!

What did I tell you?

-You did a great job, Magnus.
-But Lena...

-What's the Nyman Institute?
-I've started up my own business.

Newspapers work too fast, and science works far too slow.

-You start on the stencils...
-What's this bag?

Announcing a fantastic contest! Guess what Lena has in this bag!

1st prize: a beach lot in Spain,
2nd prize: a luxury cruise.

3rd prize: a workout with Princess Birgitta!

Are people so greedy they won't work more if they're taxed more?

Don't you think their jobs mean anything?

Are you that damned stupid? Do you know what I think?

You're a Conservative.

Read Svenska Dagbladet! The paper with the oldest views.

The newspaper with gout! Svenska Dagbladet!

THE CONSERVATIVE STUDENTS

Some people are born with limited talents and brains. They are lost.

Others have quite another prospect, born with brains and talent.

Should they be rewarded for that? And get better jobs and income?

They work with what they enjoy and have a better life.

Shouldn't one do something to change this? Well?

Are there any interesting cases here? People in sleazy flats?

My paper is planning a conservative victory in the '68 elections.

We're doing a series on the ten most sordid social welfare cases...

I suppose we'll always have to put up with the class system.

-Shouldn't something be done?
-No, hardly.

-Why not?
-Well it turns up everywhere anyway.

Take Russia. You can own a house there now, and have a profession.

-Why shouldn't we at least try?
-It hasn't worked so far.

I didn't like his answers and went to the Russian Embassy.

HAVE YOU ESTABLISHED A NEW CLASS SYSTEM?

Then we went to the travel agencies.

REMEMBER THE CIVIL WAR?

FRANCO WON

DO YOU LIKE FRANCO?

SALAZAR IS HIS PAL

I went to the airport. Some Swedish tourists were just home from Spain.

Were you ashamed of going to a dictatorial state?

Not at all.

-Why should I be?
-Because of Franco and his regime.

We have dictatorship here, too, when a bottle of whisky costs 50 crowns.

That's a form of dictatorship, too!

-We just couldn't decide...
-But Spain was cheaper than Israel.

-How's the average Spaniard doing?
-Just fine.

They aren't going hungry.

They're very poor...

-Do you like Franco?
-No comment.

-Don't you have any opinions?
-No, I don't think so.

I prefer not to talk about him. Ask someone who lives there.

Ask a Spaniard what he thinks of Franco, he'll say: "He's okay."

-He'd better!
-Hush, will you!

-Have you ever thought of Franco?
-I've never thought of you.

Do you know Franco? No? Neither do l.

-What do you think of his regime?
-I don't talk politics on holiday.

I just go there to relax.

-I go for the sun and the sea...
-I don't care about that...

-You forget about it down there.
-You don't give a damn?

I wouldn't say that. One can't be bothered.

You don't care if a whole country is oppressed under a dictator?

Yes, but I don't want to get involved.

BOYCOTT TRIPS TO SPAIN! MALLORCA TRIPS ARE SHAMEFUL!

YOU'RE SPONGING ON THE SPANISH WORKERS

UNDERMINE FRANCO! SPREAD SOCIALISM IN SPAIN!

Hi!

Hi!

-Did you hear what I said?
-Why do you want all that money?

I'm going to see a hypnotist.

You ought to pay back what you borrowed!

Don't I give you pocket money now and then?

But this was a loan. And I've got to have it today!

You've promised me at least ten times that I'd get it back.

-You borrowed it three months ago.
-OK, all right!

Well, give it back then.

-I have an errand for you.
-I need a hundred in advance.

Impossible.

-What's the errand?
-To go to the restorer.

I must run.

Foreman Evert Evensson, you're involved in defending this plant.

My task is to sabotage this machinery.

These machines produce pump capsules.

-Are they sensitive instruments?
-Yes, extremely.

-How will you sabotage it?
-I'll show you.

This is a relay, you see.

By damaging just a small detail in this relay-

-the whole machine is put out of function.

-It's hard to find the fault?
-Very. And I also delay the repair.

-Is it part of a big sabotage plan?
-Yes. There are many possibilities.

-Wouldn't an enemy kick you out?
-One never knows.

We'll fight the enemy but make friends with the soldiers.

Fraternization

So you believe in non-violence?

I was on a course for it. It seemed really sensible.

You used to be in the military, do you believe more in non-violence?

Oh yes. If you can show...

Come on in.

-Lena!
-Go to hell!

-Damn kid!
-What's wrong with her?

Oh, never mind her.

I AM FREE

-This sabotage has consequences?
-Major consequences.

The new planes and buses won't function.

They become blind themselves.

The ones who've gotten a grip on this and found out about it.

They think that those who can see will take care of them.

Then, imagine how many
there are left...

Think of all the blind people there are in this country.

We just keep sending money to the underdeveloped countries.

Why don't we see to our own house first?

We should do that first-

-before we start talking about other countries.

And they must be retrained and given new jobs.

In the office, as metal workers, in dark rooms - whatever that is.

But a metal worker stands at a lathe, that must be delicate work.

-What do you do?
-He works in a men's wear shop.

-At Ryd�ns.
-Is it fun?

Sometimes.

-What's going on?
-We were discussing my job.

-in men's wear?
-This guy is great, you know.

-Quite possibly.
-Hey, listen!

-Could I see your room?
-Sure, but it's a huge mess.

-Okay?
-Yes.

-Here's the money you wanted.
-Where did you get it?

-It's five short.
-You're so like your mum sometimes.

Why do you have Franco on the wall?

Win the Contest!

-What are these boxes?
-My files.

-What does "R" stand for?
-Religion.

-There's not much in it.
-It's new.

-"M," then?
-Men!

-Do you collect men?
-I used to.

-Did he leave?
-He went back to work.

Maybe I should go, too? Think so?

No.

Thank you.

Can't you do it?

Thank you.

-It won't work.
-It won't?

-No, it won't work.
-Of course it will!

Help me!

God, you're slow!

DANGER!

THE NYMAN INSTITUTE CLOSED FOR LUNCH ALL AFTERNOON

-Should we have sheets?
-Just one.

Smooth it out.

-A pillow?
-Yes.

-I can.
-No, I'll do it.

-No, I already did.
-Already?

I can't do it!

The bad reception on your screen has been due to erection failure.

He was a damned ardent socialist. Belonged to a lot of groups.

And he sang very well, and read poems.

Then he ran off to fight in the Spanish civil war.

-The International Brigade.
-How long was he there?

Three weeks.

Was he wounded? Why did he come back so soon?

I don't know. I've asked him, but he won't tell me.

-Nasty to put Franco on your wall.
-Yes.

Oh, God! Why pictures from concentration camps?

-Doesn't that go with Franco?
-11273...?

11273 days since he fled the war. Do you have a driving license?

-Yes.
-Did you take First Communion?

-Could you consider being a C.O.?
-Yes.

Should women earn as much as men?
-No.

-Are you married or single?
-Single.

-Should the monarchy be abolished?
-No.

-How did you last vote?
-Conservative. Previously, Liberal.

-Does Sweden have a class system?
-No, absolutely not.

-Where did you meet my dad?
-At the frame shop.

"Stig Bj�rkman, born '41, confirmed." He has a driving license!

-Did you lend Dad money?
-Yes.

-I knew it!
-Cheers, Lena!

-When did I first attract you?
-At the frame shop.

-Was I good?
-As an interviewer?

-You were great! Fantastic!
-How many have you slept with?

-I've never counted. Have you?
-Twenty-three.

-But the first nineteen were no fun.
-I see. And I'm twenty-fourth.

BOARD OF CENSORS MEETING CENSORED

did she say 23?

-Yes, what is it?
-Listen, Lena...

I'm off now. I have to go.

-No, don't go.
-But I have to.

Seriously, Lena, it's late and I must run.

-You go back to sleep.
-No, I'll come with you.

-No, sleep.
-No, I'll come with you.

Okay, but make it snappy. Dress quickly.

Quickly.

Where the hell are my trousers?

-And my bra?!
-You don't need one.

Rune!

May we come up?

Oh, yes!

-Good morning.
-Good morning.

-Hurry up!
-Wait, would you!

Tuesday, June 14th.
Sunrise at 2:35 a.m.

The temperature in Stockholm: 16. 7 �C.

Name day: H�kan.

In Rio de Janeiro...

...you can screw for free...

The Prime Minister now awakens to take care of Sweden.

The Minister of Trade wakes up-

-and all the old, staid leftists...

-and the whole mixed economy.

And the right wing rubs its eyes after the nightmare it's had.

From the depth of Swedish hearts we sing

a simple hymn to our King.

Show faith to him don't let him down.

Make light the burden of his crown.

Carl Gustav? Where are you?

-Is there anything I can do for you?
-No, I'm ready. Is it chilly out?

-No, Your Majesty. Swedish summer.
-A bit chilly, then.

If only Carl Gustav would bring the tickets. He said he'd get them.

I know this is a great imposition, but may I just ask how it feels...

We've had kings for a billion years. How does it feel to be the last one?

Give me a moment to think about it. I'll think of an answer.

Yes, it's like this. What's important is not to confuse-

-the individual with his task. That is a lesson we all must learn.

I've endeavored all my life to be objective about myself.

I have really made an effort.

But sometimes it's very difficult.

But it isn't you personally that the socialists want to get rid of.

-You have an outstanding...
-Yes, yes, I know...

-Grandfather!
-Yes, I'm here.

Where have you been? I thought you forgot.

Well... I... Here they are, anyway.

It's been nice meeting you, Lena. But I need a nap now.

We're starting a sale at Ryd�n's.

How do you feel, never being more than Crown Prince?

I don't give a damn. Call me at Ryd�n's. It's in the phone book.

I hope it's nice in lately now. Not too hot. In Rome...

I'd love to go there myself now.

But the institute's so busy with all its investigations.

Mind the step... off to Italy with your master, then?

It may pull a little, but I'm almost finished.

Who's that coming?

Daddy!

-Hello!
-Daddy!

-It's Daddy.
-Yes, it's Daddy!

Sartre suggested that the Tribunal apply the Nuremburg convictions-

-to the war crimes in Vietnam.

"We represent no government or party and take orders from no one."

These were Sartre's words at the opening of the Tribunal.

"Our lack of power guarantees our independence," he said.

What's wrong?

There you are.

-No, I want food.
-This is food.

Now, eat like a good girl.
- Would you like a sandwich?

-Yes, please.
-Beer?

Marie!

-What's that?
-Have a look.

You had it framed? I paint a lot better now.

-Yes, but it's good.
-That was a wonderful afternoon.

-Are you happy?
-Yes.

Occasionally I was negligent.

Then I'd suddenly be reminded of how Dad fled the civil war and then...

Believing we should make our views known, we went to the embassies.

A police car was stationed outside the American Embassy. All summer.

I said I wanted no trouble, I was just taking an intellectual stand.

Since the cops didn't understand, the demonstration was brief.

USA - murderers!
USA - murderers!

USA GET OUT OF VIETNAM!

We went to the Chinese Embassy...

Then, the Russian Ambassador wasn't in.

SOCIALISM WITHOUT TYRANNY

But Yevtushenko was there.

He said my signs were ridiculous.

-What does he mean?
-It's very simple.

Millions of people live in a misery you wouldn't accept for 5 minutes.

With a capitalistic solution you get free enterprise, free speech.

-But it would take 300 years.
-Let it, then!

But it must be realized in 30 years.

30 years to wipe out illiteracy and industrialize without force?!

Don't forget that force means something different to them.

They've been oppressed for centuries.

So if life can be a little better, another 30 years means nothing.

But what about the purges, all those who get deported, labor camps...?

He's written poems about the people's fear under Stalin.

Can you deny that?

No. He says it's sad the Russian people had to sacrifice so much.

-But one must take risks.
-Can't he see the risks are hideous?

Sure. But letting millions starve, is that taking a less hideous risk?

There I was, with my fear of the Russians and the Chinese-

-and I knew she was probably right. It was more than I could handle.

When my old man died, I was with... No, not like that!

It's much harder that way. Make a light line first.

Like this, see. Then you press hard.

When my old man died...

-I was lying beside him.

He lay there in the bed, tossing and turning.

I woke up twice during the night, but I thought he was just restless.

But when I woke in the morning, his neck had turned blue.

-Do animals feel death like we do?
-They sure as hell do.

I was at a bullfight once. I almost puked, and had to leave.

Have some wine!

Do you like B�rje? He's kind of cute.

-Yes, he's a fine boy.
-I'm getting pretty stuck on him.

You think I didn't notice anything that day?

-Never!
-Yes, I did!

The great thing about that guy ... We had a beer together and talked.

He told me about his child, and he talked so warmly about her-

-the same way I felt about you when you were small and mum left.

-That bitch!
-Oh, she was all right.

Wanting me back after 8 years!

In my solitude I sing to myself-

-listening to the river.

I hear him calling...

-What's her name, the kid's mother?
-Marie, or something...

I'll take my violin-

-and let the river be my bass...

What does he want with me, then?! He's got Marie, a kid...

-You've experimented plenty.
-Yes, but I talk openly about it.

He hasn't said a thing to me about it. Everyone knows but me!

Dear old river, surging in the valley-

-we are old, you and I, and grey-

Girls want young lovers-

-who are light on their feet-

Our day is gone...

Inside out again?

We sit and watch as the young dance by.

Our day is gone.

We sit and watch as the young dance by.

We interrupt this evening's film for a news bulletin.

After an intense debate in the Swedish Parliament-

-we now have the result of the vote on Sweden's new Defense Plan.

No party was unanimous on the issue, all were split.

And these were the results:

There was a strong majority among the Social Democrats.

The Communists were strongly in favor of non-violence-

-while the Conservatives were opposed.

The final results were 187 against and 196 in favor.

The Non-violence Defense Plan has thereby been adopted:

All citizens shall take a four-month course in non-violence techniques-

-and a refresher course every three years.

For the first time in history, this applies to men and women.

Up until the last moment, there were demonstrations against the reform.

Some student groups turned out to be unexpectedly conservative.

Last winter our TV team visited some new draftees.

The program that day was: "Sociodrama."

A concept borrowed from the civil rights movement in the USA.

This was one of the draftees' first tasks: to block a railroad track.

What if your wife were lying here...?!

Break it up!

Time for self-criticism. Stand up. I keep quiet. You talk.

The whole exercise is unrealistic. This situation wouldn't occur.

They wouldn't come here unarmed. The situation is ideal for us.

If an ammunition train comes, they don't stop for people on the track.

-isn't it hard not to fight back?
-incredibly hard.

Can you teach yourself to repress aggressive feelings?

-I think so.
-You don't feel cowardly?

You're happy doing this?

Isn't it a positive step for women?

Yes, why should only men defend themselves?

Why should only they be faced with getting shot?

To an observer this looks like a scout camp rather than real war.

This is just as real as conventional military training.

That also reminds you of scout camp or playing Cowboys and Indians.

The idea is to personally befriend the enemy?

Yes, sort of like in World War I, when soldiers exchanged cigarettes.

Doesn't fraternizing make you susceptible to their propaganda?

Yes, but we also make it possible for them to receive ours.

-We should be open, too.
-Who can withstand most pressure?

Those who can withstand the pressure of a conventional war.

Now we'll change sides!

Those who were the defenders will now be the aggressors-

-and the aggressors become the defenders.

It's important for the aggressors to feel the thrill and desire-

-so they can really experience the thrill of violence.

Change groups! Go ahead!

Ready! Go!

Oh, you Stockholm bastard!

Go to hell!

Road hog!

MESSAGE TO HUMANITY:

DOWN WITH PRIVILEGED CLASSES.
LENA

MESSAGE TO NON-WHITES:

BE PREPARED! THE WHITES ARE TOTTERING! LENA

Hello! Who are you?

-Look in the files! No. 24.
-What are you doing here?

Lena was looking for me at my job. Do you know where she is?

She's on retreat. Do you know what that is?!

-I asked where she is.
-She wants to be left alone.

-What are you doing here?
-I live here.

-I'm looking after things.
-Has Lena left town?

I told you she wants to be alone. I don't know where she is.

-You're lying!
-Hey, what are you doing?

-Look, where's Lena?!
-in Sm�land, at Rumskulle.

Thanks.

-Do you ever go to church?
-Nope.

-Why not?
-Them's not preaching the truth.

Them's prayin' for the poor but...you know what them's like.

Would you like to have a woman here to help you out?

-I sure would.
-Would that be good for you?

My brother here used to do the cooking.

What a caterwauling that were.

We weren't not ever in time for meals.

No, I can't do it.

Who told you to fuss with the focus?

But it's simple. Use the opposite arm...

You were using the wrong arm. Choose another position. This one...

Have a look! Look, then!

Then straight up. Stretch them like this.

Get lost!

-You were hard to find.
-Have you been searching a lot?

Yes, I have.

-What a nice car you have.
-You like it?

I have a new job.

I quit Ryd�n's.

-What do you do now?
-Sell cars.

What have you been doing here all this time?

Here's the doorstep, where they went in and out.

Selma, Alma, Hulda, Emilia, Amanda, Emil, Oscar...

All the children. In 1882, 1883, 1884.

That was the stove. And this is all there was to the little house.

The 4th commandment: Take care of those who can't care for themselves.

The 7th? : "If you're better off than you deserve, share. If not, steal."

-Who the hell is Gyllensten?
-He's this fantastic guy.

-What's the point?
-The old ones are irrelevant.

So he's rewritten them. 1, 2, 3, etc...

The first one is: "You shall have no other gods than temporary ones."

The grammar school, with electricity and a well. Sold for 3,000.

That's damned cheap!

Yes. The people moved to towns. Girls mainly. Life here is too hard.

-The 6th commandment?
-What is it?

"You shall not spread VD, give birth to unwanted kids, or commit rape."

"Practice birth control, there are far too many babies being born."

"Otherwise, you may engage freely in sexual intercourse, masturbation, pornography"-

-"everything your animal nature might suggest to you."

"Everything it might suggest"!

If he sells 2 - 3 cars a month he makes 1,200. Then you have the...

-Oh, what's that?
-Two brothers sell junk here.

You see, the average guy makes... If he sells 8 - 10 cars...

No, he'll not sell more than 4 - 5. He makes about 1,800 a month.

Yes, it's a tough business. Then you have the top guys...

This is a typical dying village. It's such a pity.

-Do they cheat, too, these guys?
-Just between you and me...

In 1964 - a top year - a guy could make, oh say 20,000 crowns.

-20,000?
-Tax-free!

-Such a year won't come again.
-Look at those walls!

Just think how a hundred years ago they slaved to build those walls.

They they all moved away. It's all abandoned! Everything!

The top salesmen...

In Rio de Janeiro you can eat for free...

-Is this all right?
-Very good!

-The keys?
-I forgot them.

-But they're on the key ring.
-I took them off and forgot them.

These are nice. They should be shorter, though.

And have a big hole here.

-Go and get them!
-No!

-Get them!
-No. Ask Marie!

Why didn't you tell me about Marie? If you had only told me-

-it wouldn't have mattered, but to keep it secret like a damned...

-Like a what?
-Will you marry her?

I don't know. I don't think so. I have a child, you know.

We've talked about it, Marie and l.

It's a responsibility having a child. I've thought a lot about it, but...

No, I won't marry her.

MESSAGE TO HUMANITY: I FEEL FINE. LENA

The largest tree in Europe.

It's 42 feet in circumference. 2,000 years old.

-What do you think?
-I guess it should work.

Not bad...

-Hell, my thighs are snapping!
-Your legs? They hurt?

-No, it's my thighs.
-Then feel some of my muscles!

These! What do you think? Here, feel!

-Are they supposed to be like that?
-No.

But girls are taught to squeeze their legs together.

They're not to sit like boys, and that's how the muscles get hard.

-They can barely spread their legs.
-Do you have that problem?

Do you? You said you'd slept with 23.

-The first 1 9 were no fun.
-Why?

I only did it to satisfy them, so that they would have an orgasm.

I couldn't believe anybody would like me, the way I look...

With my drooping breasts, my big stomach, all my fat...

Temptations, hidden shares, often take us unawares...

"Madeleine's wish is B�rje's command."

"Which is a hair dryer. A fine, new hair dryer."

Bought on sale!

TAKE CARE OF THOSE WHO CAN'T CARE FOR THEMSELVES

GYLLENSTEN'S 4TH COMMANDMENT

THE BEACH LOT IN SPAIN

THE LUXURY CRUISE

THE WINNER MIGHT BE YOU!

Come, Lena!

-To Madeleine...
-Come, Lena.

To Madeleine...

-Is Madeleine dark or blonde?
-Dark.

-Social class?
-Upper.

The slim model type?

-Better than that.
-Single?

Engaged. But she'll break it off because of me.

Does she have a better orgasm than I do?

I don't know. I haven't slept with her.

Why haven't you slept with her? Why the hell haven't you?

You and your damned curiosity!

You destroy everything with chatter and questions!

And you never tell me anything! Not about Madeleine or Marie!

Why not add Madeleine and Marie to your files, too?

I don't want that upper-class bitch!

-You want an idiot like this, right!
-No, keep your hands off it!

You damned swine!

-Lend me "The Unfulfilled Woman."
-You need it! You've got one!

-Got what?
-An unfulfilled woman! Let go of me!

That damned hair dryer! And the roses!

Just look around! You're into things that are way over your head!

-You damned peddler!
-Your head's all messed up.

Why don't you diet? Put dieting posters up on your walls instead.

-I don't want these tits in my MG!
-You damned peddler!

I didn't sleep much that night. I itched and dreamed all night.

In one of the dreams, a soccer team was running through the forest.

I captured both the varsity and the second string.

But there were only 23 of them.

Listen, Martin! I'm sorry I wasn't strong enough.

But that's the way it is.

B�rje is a big shit and I'm gonna kill him when I get hold of him!

You said yourself:

If you can't adhere to non-violence, you shouldn't participate.

You need people who are strong.

I won't ever speak for your ideas again.

A government proclamation issued reforms our whole defense system.

The proclamation reads as follows:

The Swedish government declares that in case of enemy occupation-

-all means of resistance will be employed apart from violence.

The instruction all Swedish citizens have had in non-violent defense-

-will enable us to carry out this form of defense, fully confident-

-that Sweden is well equipped to meet an enemy attack.

SUPPORT A SWEDISH A-BOMB

In order to maintain our neutrality we need some kind of deterrent.

But then all nations get bombs, there'd be a huge risk of nuclear...

We'll give you a peace button for support. A Ban-the-Bomb button.

-We both gave a contribution...
-Thank you.

...as a demonstration against this terrible sign.

-I think it's a very serious...
-That's awful!

Tear the sign down, boys! No bombs here, by God!

Expressing opinions like this! And in front of the palace, no less!

-We're probing public opinion.
-I don't understand such things...

Thank you.

SOCIAL DEMOCRACY: IT'S A GUILTY CONSCIENCE

That hurts, Lena!

Where does it hurt most? Tell us! Win a week with Princess Birgitta.

Or that beach lot in Spain. Everyone is a winner, if they-

-can guess what Lena found out about the Social Democrats' guilty...

It's worse elsewhere, but most societies suffer from a tendency-

-to categorize people with regard to economic and social position-

-and this tendency is present here, too.

But I think there is a great feeling of equality here. What do you think?

It's true that a lot has been achieved.

In income, for example, but primarily in opportunities.

But we know we can go further.

It's an illusion to believe that we've attained total equality.

B�rje! You sold Mr. Johansson a car, and he's very angry now.

You've promised him everything, damn it!

You can't just promise people the moon.

This is your last chance, I'm so mad I could throw you out on the spot.

-Hello!
-Hello!

Could we talk somewhere?

I'm off now. I can give you a lift. The car's in the garage...

No! Have you slept with Madeleine?

I bet you've gone further. But I hope not, 'cos I have scabies.

So that's what I've got!

Cut! You forgot "from you." Isn't that what we decided on?

I like my own sweet name

I like the touch of fame

She's using me, that damned girl.

She uses me like everybody does.

This movie is her chance and she knows it.

And, boy, does she take advantage of it!

And she takes B�rje along with her.

A toast to the Crown Prince! Cheers and congrats!

He doesn't give a damn about her, he just wants to compete with me.

Excuse me a second... - but Lena, the glasses!

-What about them?
-You remove them when you talk.

But she was supposed to...

-She wears them, then removes them.
-Make up your mind!

-You changed your mind!
-Ask Marianne!

-It was decided she'd have them on.
-I was right.

-You don't understand...
-Fourth retake with, fifth without!

Make up your mind, for God's sake!

-Another retake?
-That's what we're here for.

-Make up your mind. We're listening.
-That's nice of you!

-So I remove them.
-You start with them on.

When you talk about scabies, you look into his eyes, right?

-Then you've removed them, right?
-Without glasses, then?

They're not concentrating at all. We're not getting anywhere.

That's obvious. I'm shocked at the atmosphere here.

I don't know how you get any work done.

-Have you spoken to him?
-No.

-Aren't you going to?
-Yes.

If he's going to be like this... It could hardly be worse.

No...

-But listen...
-Try it now!

-Yes. A little more.
-That's it.

All right?

Listen...he got his gold frame. Know how much it cost him?

-280 crowns!
-My word!

And what's he gonna do with it? Point at it and say to his guests...

Wash your feet, too!

Then he can say to his guests: "That frame cost 280 crowns."

So what? A gold frame is nice, and it has a value, too.

After all my years in the shop I think I know the value of art.

The picture should be more important than the frame...

What the hell?!

Have you come home?

Can't you at least say hello?

Where are my cuttings on East Asia? They're not in there...

Where the hell have you been?

-No one dares enter your room.
-Oh, is that so?

You should stay home instead of hitchhiking, who knows where.

You could at least have sent a card. Your dad's been worried.

-That's something new for him.
-I was ashamed at work-

-'cos I didn't know where you were.
-That's none of their business!

B�rje's been looking for you.

-Are you going to leave home?
-Home! You call this a home?

-Haven't I done all I could for you?
-You just have a guilty conscience.

Do you remember that time you came to my school graduation?

The one time you ever came! God, was I ashamed!

Do you think I could ever bring anybody home?

To this! You've only ever done one good thing in your whole life.

You went to Spain. Why didn't you stay there?!

Why did you come right back? Like a damned rat!

What on earth is she doing?

Has it itched a long time?

Somebody's standing in the light.

Turn around, please.

In front of the tiles stands Lena, scratching her...

Freedom's not easy, sweet Lena, freedom's not easy, my dear

It tickled and itched all over, that's why you're standing here now-

-at seven o'clock in the morn!

Rub it into the pubic region.

DDT stings and it itches...

-Can I drop you off?
-No.

-Where are you going?
-None of your business. Bye!

This country's like a duck pond. It just goes quack, quack, quack...

We haven't trained our political reactions, see.

Every Swede who votes is full of ideas he doesn't dare express...

-You're cute when you get excited!
-I do get excited...

-Olle Jacobsson to the studio.
-Hello.

-Olle Jacobsson to the studio.
-Do you know each other?

No. My name's Scherer.

-Lena!
-Bengt Ernryd to the sound stage.

-And the front door key?
-Bengt Ernryd to the sound stage.

You can send it to me, then.

Viveca Nordstr�m to Film Labor.

-Was he difficult?
-No, but God, I'm glad it's over!

Buy our film! The only film that comes in two versions.

Buy the yellow, buy the blue! Buy them both, there are two!

The same, but different, that's true!

This was the yellow version! This was the yellow version!
