Oh, I really hope you'll get accepted.
Wouldn't that be wonderful, Hannah?

- I don't know.
- You're going to love it, sweetie.

- It's all up to you anyway.
- What? No!

No! Hannah, didn't we all agree on this?
You also have to see it as an opportunity.

Lots of kids would love to go
to this school.

Their creative workshop is all the rage.
Everyone is talking about it.

They have arts and crafts
all the way up to 9th grade.

I thought we all agreed on this too?

And you're so good at making friends.
It's going to be so nice.

I mean, it's just crucial that Hannah
gets a spot at this school.

For us, for Hannah here
and for our whole lives.

That's the best way to put it.
And I know that sounds like big talk,

but it's not, it truly would be
an amazing gift for us.

But I can't make any promises.

No.

Because we have a lot of applicants.
A lot.

But this will be the fourth time you'll be
changing schools, Hannah?

Yes, well, we've been around a bit
because of Ulrik's work.

I'm a doctor, and Piv...

But then they merged two schools.
And that just became way too big for us.

So you go to Larkdale now,
Hannah?

- Do you like it there?
- Yes.

Yes and no. Right, love?
Because Hannah is a very creative girl.

She's passionate about learning,
right Hannah?

And very social. Hannah gets
along with everybody. So...

We've missed that balance between
play and creativity and learning.

And you know our core values?

- They're right here.
- She knows them by heart.

Yes.

Yeah, "Community around the kids fosters
community among the kids." It's so true.

But... We also know how to have fun,
Hannah. A lot of fun.

Our parties are epic.

We have a cabin trip coming up,
which the parents are arranging,

with bonfires, cool music
and shenanigans.

It's the highlight of the year.
The parents put a lot of work into it.

A lot. Really.

No one gets a free pass. Our parents
are the backbone of the school.

But I have to tell you that
I can't make any promises, okay?

We've had a talk now, and we'll just have
to see how it goes, all right?

Yes.

FOUR MONTHS LATER

PARENT MEETING

Okay?
Yep. It'll be fun.

Why don't I introduce us
when we get to that?

Fine by me.

Excuse me. I brought cake.

- Hello, Ulrik!
- Hi!

- Hi! Excuse me. Hi.
- Hi.

- How amazing for Hannah.
- Yes, it really is.

- The waiting list started moving, eh?
- Yes, I don't know how it happened.

- Me neither. But you owe me a beer.
- Nice!

Hi!

- Good to see you!
- You too!

It's time to get started!
We're a few chairs short.

- Hello. I'm Moa-Britt.
- Hello, I'm Piv. Moa-Britt?

- Moa-Britt.
- I'm Ulrik.

- Hey, Per!
- This is my tennis partner, Ulrik.

Oh, yes! Hello! I'm Wencke.
Per has told me about you.

- I'm Ulrik. Hello, Wencke.
- Hi, I'm Piv.

- Hello. Pardon?
- Nice to meet you.

- Siv or Piv?
- It's Piv.

Piv? That's a nice name...
Is it a real name?

- It's actually Pernille, but...
- Okay!

- Háu!
- There you go! All right.

Yes!

All right. We're called 6.B. now.

And can I just say, wow!
These kids are getting big!

- They're almost like little grownups.
- Yeah.

Yes, well, let's just get started.

Even though we've only been back
for a week, it's time to get to work.

First and foremost, you have a cabin trip
to organize tonight... Yes.

Cabin trip! Here we go!

All right. That's enough. Not now.
And feet off the table, please.

- That's how we do it here.
- Sorry. My mistake.

Thank you, Frederik.
Wencke, you'll take the minutes?

- Certainly.
- Great, thank you.

Yes. Great. Thank you.

And... Then we have a couple
of new faces to say hello to.

So, Piv and Ulrik,
why don't you introduce yourselves?

Yes, certainly...

- Hello, Lis.
- Kåre was a bit upset, so...

- I've brought some snacks...
- It's okay. Come in. We've just started.

It's okay, just put them on the table.
Wencke brought cake.

- Is there space for Lis?
- No, that's all right. I'll just stand.

- Do we need an extra chair?
- I don't think so...

- There has got to be a chair for Lis.
- You can just take my chair, Lis.

- Come on, there's plenty of space.
- Thank you.

All right. Now I think we should let
the two new parents introduce themselves.

- Go ahead, Piv.
- Yes.

Thank you.
My name is Piv and this is my...

I think you need to speak up.
Please stand up.

Sure. All right... Of course.

- What's the problem?
- No, that's all right.

- Yes... No... I'm Piv.
- She's also Pernille.

And this is my wonderful husband, Ulrik.

We're Hannah's parents. And I think
some of you have already met her...

I'm just a bit curious...
Why is she changing schools exactly?

- Rasmus and Signe were saying...
- Maja's Rasmus and Signe?

- Yes, we're in the same spinning class.
- They spin together.

What a coincidence.
Maja is one of Hannah's best friends.

But as I understood it, this is the fourth
time Hannah is changing schools?

I was just wondering if there were any
special needs we should be aware of?

Oh no...

- No, no, not at all. There aren't.
- Okay.

Hannah is just a very creative girl

who wants to learn a lot.

So when this opportunity presented
itself we jumped at it.

- And Hannah is very welcome.
- Yes, she is.

I'm Thorbjørn.

Oh, he means Lord Bjørn. There was
a bit of dissonance in the room!

Burn!

I'm Bertil's dad.

Ah yes. Bertil? Okay.
We've heard about him.

He tells me that Hannah
is such a sweet girl.

Very special. Very unique.
I'm Julie, Thorbjørn's wife.

- Hello, Julie.
- Hello.

- Of course, we think so too.
- Yes.

Okay. Well!

You'll have plenty of time to talk
to Piv and Ulrik later. I promise!

On the cabin trip maybe? Per, you had news
from the party committee?

Yes, of course. Because we have
a parent party coming up.

And this year the theme will be...
I'm going to need a drum roll.

- China!
- Yeah!

We're going to have costumes,
dim sum,

chop suey, saké, wing-wang-wong
and all that.

Saké is actually Japanese.

This year, Tommy and Bettina
will be hosting once again!

May I?

And now Lis has the floor.

Well, if I were Chinese,
I'd be very offended.

Let's count the Chinese people in
the class... One, two... Not many.

- Tommy, come on.
- Is it offensive if they aren't here?

I actually completely agree with Lis.

It's not a great message
to pass on to the kids.

- Here comes the woke segment.
- What message is that?

Come on, Bettina. Really?
Don't you read newspapers?

- That's completely hysterical.
- Lasse... No.

Yes, it is.
It's very politically incorrect.

Look, we're doing the China theme. Period.

This isn't how we usually talk to each
other. We never use this tone.

Let's move on to the cabin trip.

Yes, Bettina?

I was just wondering how
the inclusivity is going?

Oh, well done.

Sorry, what do you mean by that?

I just sense a feeling
of unease in the class.

Is that Konrad's experience?
I'm just trying to understand.

It might be too important
to fall under "Other business".

We're not even there yet.

It's not that hard to say
a few words about inclusivity.

Are you wondering
about something specific?

Do we even use the term
"inclusivity" anymore?

Okay, let me wrap this one up. We don't
have any aggressive kids in this class.

I also just want to emphasize
that the principal

is the primary contact for ♪20 kids.
End of story.

The rest of us
need to take one for the team.

My son shouldn't have to take one for the
team if it means he has to live in fear...

Good evening.

- Hello, Adrian!
- Hello, everyone.

Hello. Are they behaving?

They're exemplary.

Good. Ulrik is a doctor in case anyone
needs their blood pressure taken.

Which item are you on?

The cabin trip.

Inclusivity.

And some inclusivity.

- Is that on the agenda?
- No... No, it isn't.

- Who enjoys discussing inclusivity?
- No one enjoys it...

- Is it you, Tommy?
- Oh no...

No? Because you can always
come by my office.

- No, it wasn't...
- No? No, I didn't think so.

What in the world... Is this you,
Wencke? Did you bake again?

- Yes, but it's not as good as usual...
- Yes, it is. It's absolutely just as good.

Even when you're bad you're good.

It is good!

There's coffee too.

No, thanks. I just wondered if I could
be of use before I head off?

Can I borrow 20 euro, Adrian?

Otherwise just come find me.

Thanks. The only item left is the cabin
trip. Then we'll be done for tonight.

- The cabin trip! I'm excited!
- Yes!

- So are we.
- Take care.

- You too!
- Bye! See you!

- Have a good meeting.
- See you!

- You think he'll be there?
- I sure hope not.

- Per! The cabin trip!
- Yes? Yes, right!

I'll take this one. I'm coming.

What do we have here? Here we have...
Here's the program for all three days.

Take a look. Now you're thinking,
"It's the same as usual!"

But no! There's one significant
change: The year.

You all know the program. We've been
using it for years at this point.

"If it ain't broken, don't...
why don't you try to fix it?"

- They seemed very...
- Super nice people. Great dynamic...

- Yes, exactly... And great...
- And diversity.

Yes, that's right.

I like Thorbjørn and Julie.

The one with the pink hair?
You think she's hot, don't you?

- What? I don't see her like that at all.
- Really?

But that Bettina was a charmer.

- You're so mean!
- Yes, I'm sure she's very nice.

Yes. Once you get to know her.

That's right.

But that China party
is crossing the line, isn't it?

Why don't we cross that bridge
when we come to it?

It's a shame I'll miss the first
day at the cabin. Such a shame.

It'll be fine, love. You'll just join us
on Saturday, and we'll figure it all out.

But you really need to make
an effort on this trip.

Yes, I know, I know. I agree.
It'll be nice to just be me and Hannah.

And Per will be there.
Per is great. Don't you think?

Yes. I really liked Per and...

- And who? Wencke.
- Wencke.

FATHERS & MOTHERS

- Hello, Ulrik!
- Hello!

- Welcome to the cabin.
- Thanks.

Is it just going to be you and me?

- Oh snap! It's the new boy!
- There he is.

- It's great to see you!
- You too.

Hello, Hannah. How was the drive?

Anton, can you give Hannah a tour?

- Why do I have to do that?
- Anton!

Boys, right?

Hello, hello.

Bettina, we have an issue.

There's a problem with a gasket.

One of the gaskets broke
in the boys' bathroom.

I need to fix it.

Julian? Are you going to join us?

Julian?

Julian's parents can't make it.

Ditte and Jan are in a
bit of a kerfuffle.

Ditte and Jan are Julian's parents.

They're going through a difficult time,
so we're all giving them a helping hand.

Yeah, it's a bit of a mess... How about
a cup of coffee? I brought pastries.

- Shouldn't we unpack first?
- Just go unpack, then, Bettina.

- The rest of us will make coffee.
- Yes.

God dammit!

Don't come out here!

There's some kerfuffle
with a water pipe.

Are you always the one
who goes on cabin trips?

To be honest, we've actually never
been on a cabin trip before.

Piv will be here tomorrow, so...

- Did she have plans?
- No, she had some issues at work.

What does she do?

She has a shop. She's a designer.

That's exactly what I thought!

What?

She has such an exquisite quality
to her when she enters a room.

I don't know...
I just want to eat her.

What about Thorbjørn?
Will he join us tomorrow?

No, he's on his way.
He'll be here later today.

He... just can't stay away.

He's just a silly monkey.

A what?

A silly monkey.

- I'm super excited.
- Yeah, me too!

Hi.

Hi.

- Do you need a hand?
- No, that's all right.

Hello.

Hi. Welcome!

- Hi, Thorbjørn!
- Hi.

- Did you bring your smile?
- As always. You know that.

- Hi.
- Hello, Erik! Or...

What's up, bro? Got enough space?

Yeah, I managed to squeeze in, Thorbjørn.

It's not a very sustainable message
to send. You know that, right?

Calm down, Greta.

Thorbjørn! Thorbjørn! Thorbjørn!

Ah yes! Yes! Thank you!
You know the rules, kids. We play with...

- Everyone!
- Yes. All opinions are...

- Equal!
- Yes. Moa-Britt?

No physical or psychological abuse...

No. No, of course not.
And the most important rule of all:

We don't take food from the fridge...

without permission.

Without permission. Exactly.

For Lasse and Per, the breakfast crew,
it's 6:30 a.m. this year.

Or 5:30 if you want to join me
for some morning yoga outside.

Morning yoga?
Look, this man is insane!

- Per, come up here.
- I think we can all agree!

But it's all good! It's under control.
I have a tiny announcement...

I love how much people
are contributing this year.

You're making 70 nut baskets, Wencke?

- 80 nut baskets!
- 80 nut baskets.

Lined with Valrhona chocolate
and Summerbird marzipan.

Damn, Wencke!

That's brilliant, darling! I just have
a service announcement. Wencke...

So, the thing is that we've had to shut
off the water in the boys' bathroom.

There's some kerfuffle with a gasket.
So we'll shower in the girls' bathroom.

- We'll shower in...
- No.

Per? Per? I just want to ask:
Do you need help with that gasket?

No, I need some 1/2 inch
fiber washers.

- You need 3/4 inch for those pipes.
- Not for those pipes out there.

3/4.

I've located the problem,
and it's definitely 1/2 inch ones.

- Why don't we adjourn?
- Yes, Bettina.

You need 3/4 inch. 3/4.

Sorry! My travel card didn't work.
It wouldn't let me check in.

You're on toilet duty, Lis.

I've been on toilet duty
for the past three years.

Maybe you should be on time for once.

Come on, Hannah.

Don't you want to join the others?

I don't know.

You don't know?

- You should go play. Don't you want to?
- We don't play, Dad.

Oh, right. Of course not. Then you could
go "hang out". Can I say that?

But I don't know anyone.

What's this? Honey...

- I'd like to go home.
- But... We just got here.

I don't want to be here.

I know, but... I have a good
feeling about this.

You always say that.

No... I don't think I do...
Do you think it might be Mom?

I don't want to.
I don't want to be here.

- I don't want to.
- Honey... There...

Let's just... It's not that bad.
Okay?

Let's just sit here for a bit.

Do you want to go look
at the peacock?

A peacock?
We'd like to see that.

Adults aren't allowed.

We can go down to the lake?
I'm game.

A peacock?

Where?

That's a secret.

We'll go look at the peacock, then.

Okay...

Do you have your phone with you?

- Frederik?
- Yes?

Is there a peacock here
at the cabin?

No idea. But there's cold beer
in the fridge. You want one?

I need to take this...

Hello, darling.

There... Here we are.

- So, is everything going well?
- Yes, it's hectic.

- Really?
- Well, you know, it's a lot of people.

How's our baby?
Is she excited?

She's doing great. She's out playing,
although I can't call it that.

No, she's 12 years old, Ulrik.
Who's she playing with?

- She's all over.
- Oh, that's so great.

By the way, I forgot to tell you that
the other parents talked about

a sea bathing club that people
can join.

Could you sign us up for that?
A sea bathing club?

Ulrik, how about contributing
to the community?

- Isn't that a good idea?
- Yes, but honey, I need to go now.

Apparently it's the principal's sea
bathing club, so...

- Now's a good time.
- Just a second. I'm coming!

- Okay.
- So you'll take care of that?

- Yes, I will.
- You're the best. I love you.

Okay, see you tomorrow, hon.
Give Hannah lots of kisses from me.

- Bye.
- Her raincoat is in the yellow bag...

All right, here I am.

Try to aim more toward the edge.

It's a classic mistake.
Lots of people make it.

Hit it right there. Come on.

Would you look at that!
Well done, bro.

I built my own deck last summer.

- Oh, really?
- Yes.

Smell this. It's fucking fantastic.

- That's a pretty nice tree house.
- I built it last year.

- You did?
- Yes.

It's a bit rushed, but I mean...
The kids love it.

- It's larch, right?
- Larch?

Yes. Siberian larch?

No, Ulrik. It's not.

What's up!
Do you need an extra man?

Choose your weapon.
Having fun, kids?

Bertil did the obstacle course
in 58 seconds.

I'm not surprised. Try to include
Hannah in whatever you're doing.

Sure, but she's not here.

I think she's playing with Julian.
It would be great if you could find her.

What the hell is she doing with him?

We don't talk about our
classmates like that.

I'd really appreciate it if you found her.
If you don't mind.

We can't have you running around
here while we're working with axes.

- Go to the sky cave or something.
- We're not going to your lame cave.

Then you'll have to stay and contribute
to the community!

"The community!"

Damn! Little assholes.

Well, let's get started.
I'll chop some kindling.

Good idea.

Is there a peacock around here?

Not that I know of. You?

No, but Farmer Henrik has sheep.
Oh, he also has an ostrich.

It was just because Julian
mentioned a peacock.

Oh, there's nothing wrong with Julian.
He's a great boy.

- What do you mean?
- Just in case you and Piv were worried.

There's no need to be.
He's a great boy.

- Yes, he is a great boy.
- Yes.

- I'm going to go look for her.
- Yes.

Can I try chopping a big one?

Don't forget
the sea bathing club!

I'll be there tomorrow at 10.

Geez...

Do you love me?

- Oh, there you are. Hi.
- Hi, Dad. Hi.

Looks fun, huh?

- Where did you get that?
- From the peacock, of course.

Of course.

Where is this peacock?

I'm not going to tell you.

Shall we join in? Come on.

Yes, let's join. Come on!

Ulrik?

No! No!

All right, Thorbjørn!

And then suddenly I've eaten
too much.

I also tend to eat too much from
time to time. That's no secret.

But I thought you got that
under control, Per?

Yes, you talked about doing
hypnosis last year.

Yes, and I did lose 20 kilos. But it's
a daily struggle trying to maintain it.

- This is serious, Per.
- I know... Yes.

It's a bit of a kerfuffle. I know that.

But Wencke and I are next on the waiting
list for the sea bathing club.

And I think when that happens,
I'll be on the right track.

- How so?
- I'll get exercise. Lots of exercise.

Good people. Good talks.
Someone who can hold me responsible.

Doesn't our principal skinny-dip?

A lot of people do. There's no way I'll do
that, I can promise you that much.

I'm not that comfortable.
But everyone decides for themselves.

- We're thinking of joining.
- Okay. The sea bathing club?

That's not quite how it works, Ulrik.
There's a waiting list.

- Isn't it just a sea bathing club?
- Not "just".

For me it's about
belonging somewhere.

Feeling safe and having each
other's backs.

- And who belongs?
- Thorbjørn and Julie.

- Just them?
- From our class, yes.

It's a waiting list for Adrian's jetty.
But Wencke and I should be...

- Per? Per, what do you eat?
- What?

When you eat, what do you eat?

Or rather, over-eat.
Because that is what you do, isn't it?

Well, sugar. Chocolate, Reese's...
Candy bars, fudge...

Those little round cakes
from DanCake...

But Reese's is a bitch.

Reese's.... That sounds super scary.

- How was the hypnosis?
- It was pretty fun.

I think you have to be ready for it.

And I really believe I was,
and it's truly about your mindset...

Kåre has never had lice. Ever!

Well done, Lis.

I comb him for lice every day.
Sometimes several times a day.

Okay! I can't say we do the same.

No, and that's why it's so unfair that
Kåre is constantly suspected of it.

Why do they have to take art
all the way to the 9th grade?

- May I sit here?
- Sure.

We're talking about the curriculum.

I understand why they have art. But why
do they have it until the 9th grade?

Exactly.

All they do with the temps is play soccer.

It should be possible to do better.

But this was exactly what
Kim and Charlotte complained about,

and then they got kicked out.

Man, do I miss those two.

You shouldn't get expelled for that.

But they did. And no one takes it up with
Adrian. Everyone is terrified of him.

I've never had an issue with Adrian.

Then you should take it up with him.
I'm not getting into it.

So! Should we get
the night race started?

Night race, kids! Night race!

This way, come on!

What does it say?

- I think it's this way.
- Okay.

- Where's Dad?
- I don't know.

Thorbjørn, what do we get
for finding the treasure?

The honor of winning, son.
All right?

And the right to show everyone
else how to be a good winner.

I think it's this way.

Good job, Anton.

It's called left.

Oh, it's so spooky.

Mom, stop it!

I wonder where Dad is?

Stop it, Mom!

"Venture into the fog,
but beware, you are not alone."

This is... It's too much!
Come, let's go back.

- Did you hear that? Did you hear it?
- What is it? No.

Are you coming?
It's this way.

"Turn right where the paths cross."

That has to be here.

"Continue straight ahead.
On the right is the Dead Man's Bog,

where the Night Child drags
children down to its lair..."

- Pretty scary, huh?
- You think so?

Hannah, just give it a chance.
Okay?

Aren't you enjoying it, Julian?

My mom and dad are
getting a divorce.

That's a bummer.

Are you sad?

No.

Are your parents sad?

Have you told your teachers about it?

No.

So we're the only people who know?

They don't even know that I know.

Jesus Christ, Lasse!
Come on, Jesus...

Hannah?

Kids, I'm not doing this.
I'm going back to the bonfire.

Hannah, this is not cool!

Here he comes.
He's such an idiot.

So! There you are. Move!

- Where were you, Dad?
- Me? What about you?

What are you laughing at?
What's so funny, huh?

It's cool, Ulrik.

I'm going to grab a beer.

Why are you getting so upset?

I just think you could have warned
us in advance

about what sort of theme
it would be.

No, it's a surprise. You're not
supposed to know in advance.

Kåre is not nearly old enough for
this kind of thing. Is Hannah?

It's a... "night race"!

Yes, it was a bit scary out there,
but the kids had fun.

- And what was hanging from that hook?
- A pig.

- A pig?!
- One of Farmer Henrik's pigs.

It was about to be put down anyway.
Look, this rascal had fun, didn't you?

- No. No, Tommy. It was not fun.
- Chill out.

Well, we thought it was.

And maybe you should stop calling
your kid a rascal.

Why?

Because if you call him a rascal,
he'll of course become a rascal.

- And that's not allowed?
- This is not a discussion about values!

Because I don't think
you'd be able to keep up.

- Don't tell me how to raise my son!
- Shut up!

What do you say, Ulrik?

As a new parent, this must have been
a profoundly shocking experience.

- Well...
- You know what, Lis?

Why don't you organize the night race
next year, if you feel so strongly?

You do it next year if you feel
so strongly.

I can't take this seriously.
These kids can handle anything.

Maybe they can, but does that
mean they should?

- I'm done with this.
- We're leaving.

Thorbjørn! Can you support this?

And there is such a thing
as animal welfare!

Oh, sit down and shut up.

Why don't I put the kids to bed?
It seems like people need some adult time.

- Yes.
- The good kind, Lis.

- Of course. The best kind.
- That's what she said!

Lasse! There are children present.

But you did say that.

- Simmer down!
- What!?

- There are children present!
- Thank you, Thorbjørn.

All right, kids! It's bedtime.
Let's go!

It's only 9 p.m.!

No, it's later than that.

Here, have one for the other leg, Lasse.
There you go.

The brandy is headed this way.
It's coming this way.

- Per? Per, you need to try it too.
- No, no, not at all...

- Oh, yes, please.
- Just say when.

No, no! Stop!

I think I'll skip this one.

Lis, it's a 500-euro bottle!

Wait... Did that cost 500 euro?

We deserve a treat, Per!

Come on. That's just too vulgar for me.
It's super inappropriate.

You don't have to try it, okay, Lis?

All right, the kids are asleep.
And so is Thorbjørn.

- Ulrik...
- Yes, please.

Sorry.
There's a bench in the way.

- I'll turn in as well.
- Goodnight, Moa-Britt.

Sleep well.

Goodnight, hon. I'll just have
one more, then I'll join you.

Okay. Don't forget you're
on the breakfast crew. Lasse?

- What?
- You're on the breakfast crew. 6:30.

You don't have to try it...
if you're a sissy.

Frederik, can I have some? Can I...

- You spoil us... Goodnight!
- Goodnight!

- Let's say cheers.
- Cheers, Tommy.

So! Now it's your turn to be
the silly monkey.

Oh, is it?

- Hey, you, new guy?
- Ulrik.

- What's his name?
- Ulrik.

- Hey, Ulle!
- Ulle!

Yes? What's up?

- You know any Big Fat Snake?
- Yeah!

- I actually do!
- Awesome!

- This will be good.
- Isn't Big Fat Snake kind of old...

Bonsoir madame

I know who you are madame

You used to be a mademoiselle

I knew you too well

Bonsoir madame

I know who you are madame

You used to be the mademoiselle

Who sent me to hell

Bettina! Are you with me?

Well, I've heard that you're married now

And I've heard that
you don't fool around

Well, I guess you can hold him down

Bet he kisses the marks
That you leave on the ground

Still I'm happy for your happiness

But you'll be lonely beyond loneliness

Bettina! Bettina!
Bettina sang along!

Ulrik?
Do you know any great ballads?

- I can't say I do.
- That's a tough one.

Sorry, I don't.

That's beautiful...

You want to go smoke this?

Lis!

Are you a good man?

That's deep, isn't it?

I don't know. I don't know you.

I don't know.

Are you a good dad?

Yes. I'm okay. I think so.

What makes you say that?

I think...

Well, everything I do,
I do for Hannah. Everything.

But the thought.... is wonderful.

- It makes a lot of sense.
- The thought of what?

That idea of...

taking full responsibility
for something in this life.

Anything?

Just Hannah.

Would you die for her?

Yes. Yes, of course.

Of course.

Is that a matter of course?

Isn't that what we do every day?

Ulrik... I don't know.

I'm just on a cabin trip.

Are you even allowed to smoke joints
with me in the middle of the night?

With a log between my legs?

Are you?

Thorbjørn allows me to do anything.

Ulrik?

Ulrik?

- Ulrik!
- What time is it?

Hi.

- What's that sweater you're wearing?
- What?

I just found it somewhere.
I was freezing.

God dammit...

- Have you been drinking?
- What?

- Have you?
- No!

Nothing crazy. But I'll tell you, some
of the people here sure do party hard.

- All night. I haven't slept a wink.
- Do you know where Hannah is?

She's...

She's outside somewhere.

Go take a shower.

- Hi, muffin.
- Hi.

Hi, sweetie.

Hello, sweetie-pie. I've missed you.
Let me look at you.

- Did you sleep by yourself up there?
- Yes, with Julian.

I'm Pernille. You can call me Piv.

Okay, Pernille.

Who are your parents, Julian?
I haven't met them.

They aren't here.

- Who wants to go to the lake?
- Hello, Julie! Hello.

Hello.

- Isn't it too cloudy?
- It'll clear up any minute, won't it?

- Yes, it will.
- Hello, Bettina.

Hello.

Mommy will just go get her things.

- Sure. We'll go ahead.
- Okay, Mommy will bring your swimsuit.

Don't worry. Thor is down there.
He's got everything under control.

- I'm not worried.
- Of course not.

But he's down there, so it's under
control. Ulrik says you're a designer?

Yes. Yes, I make pottery and stoneware.

It's not Piv & Co, is it?
Is it the Piv & Co?

- Yes.
- No way! That's the cutest little shop!

- We have a bigger space now.
- Right.

- Let me know if you'd like something.
- Thank you.

- And what do you do?
- I'm just a child psychologist.

A bit more plain, you might say.
See you down there.

Hey, Ulrik! What's up?
How's the head?

I think the ball valve broke.

When the ball valve breaks,
you have constant water pressure.

That's why it's dripping here.
But if I can stop the dripping...

Yes?

I'll put in a new gasket
and some packing yarn.

Yes.

Once that's sealed, notwithstanding
that the gasket won't be replaced today,

I think we'll still have a perfectly
decent shower experience.

Right.

But you can't shower here.
You have to use the girls' bathroom.

Man, you look like shit!
See you around!

Read the sign, you idiot!

Fuck.

Come on, pass!

Over here.

Nice one, honey.

We can fetch the ball ourselves, Julian.

Mom, he's just trying to be nice.

I don't want to play anymore.

Come on.

So, was it cold?

- It was refreshing.
- I can imagine.

Is everything okay with him?
Julian, I mean...

Don't ask me.

- What's going on with him?
- I have no idea.

Talk to Adrian.
It's his business.

He's the one cashing
in on the ♪20 kids.

He hasn't left her side
since we got here.

He's not letting her out of his sight.
It's a little bit...

Okay.

I haven't seen her play
with anyone else at least.

- No one?
- Nope.

I'll just...

I really don't think
it's okay to be hung over.

I'm not.

Did you talk to Per
about the sea bathing club?

You have to kiss Adrian's ass for 20 years
to be considered. I can't be bothered.

- Fine.
- Fine, what?

- What can you be bothered with, Ulrik?
- Stop.

You're just lying there with a hangover
doing nothing. It's pretty unimpressive.

- What should I be doing?
- Hi.

Help your daughter feel included.

- Isn't that why we're here?
- She's right there, playing with Julian!

- Are you still drunk?
- For god's sake.

- Couldn't you try to engage for once?
- What? I've been engaging for two days!

- One day.
- Let's switch. I'll go home.

- Oh, come on. Relax, Ulrik.
- No. I'm going home.

Ulrik, calm down. Get your hangover
under control. Here comes Wencke.

- Hi.
- Hello.

- So, you two, have you settled in nicely?
- Yes, we think so. Right, Ulrik?

I won't bug you,
but you're the only ones left

who haven't yet paid the class
collection dues.

I thought you...

It's only 35 euro, but we just
really value the social aspect.

Yes.

Oh, you mean now? Okay.

Man, it's hot.

Great. Thank you.

- He sure loves the water.
- Yes.

So they removed all the bark
on their trees...

- What?
- Like, in a ring around the tree...

That was a tough one.

- Hello.
- Hello, Per.

- You've clearly lost a few pounds.
- Yes.

- Damn. That's well done.
- Very well done.

- It's time to start the grill.
- Throw some patties on.

Patty-Per.

Ex-wife.

- It never fucking ends.
- No, it doesn't.

Didn't she find someone new?

Why do you think that?

No, it was just because Bettina...
Bettina said...

- What?
- Now I'm unsure.

- What?
- I'm confusing you with someone else...

What the hell is going on?
What am I lying on?

Fuck.

Vanja?

Vanja!

Ulrik?

- Julie?
- Yes?

May I ask you something?

Yes, of course.

It's about ♪20.

- You're referring to Julian.
- Yes. I probably am.

Because you could just google ♪20.

Right. Of course.
But everything is okay with him?

Yes, definitely.

You can rest assured.
From a professional standpoint.

And Hannah will react
if she's uncomfortable.

And it's not as if he's done anything.

Exactly. He hasn't.

And off the record, this is also a focus
area in the sea bathing club.

- The sea bathing club?
- Oh, I realize that sounds conspiratorial.

It's not. Some of us just never
stop contributing

to the school no matter where
we are.

Piv, listen.
Hannah is doing well.

Take a look at her.
Do you see anything that alarms you?

- They're actually rather advanced.
- Yes.

Yes, I probably just have to get
used to all these new things.

I totally understand.

Sometimes we just have to loosen up.

And just let go and be who we are, Piv.

- You have such beautiful hands.
- Thank you.

Is Thorbjørn a psychologist too?

Oh no! No, he isn't.
He's a carpenter.

Oh, cool.

He's just the sort of man
who needs space.

Freedom.

- You know?
- Yes.

Whoopsiedaisy.

That one knows how to party, huh?

Last night he came in super drunk

and just stood in the corner
rambling on about

how he thought you cared more

about Hannah's clothes
than your relationship.

Oh, he didn't say it in a mean
way or anything.

It was just super cute.

He was so wasted!
Completely hammered!

Thor gave him one of my shirts

and helped him to bed.

Okay.

I really have to go now!
I'm going to wet myself. See you!

What the hell?!

What is this?

- Cucumber jelly.
- I know, but why are we doing this?

We're heating it up with our hands.

- I'm going to give it a shake.
- No, don't shake it!

Yes, I'll be careful.

Ulrik, no!

I'll try again.

Okay, that's enough.

I'll just sneak in here.

Isn't it a shame the kids aren't
helping out with the cooking?

Yes, they always help out at home.

Kåre and I love making cinnamon rolls.

For Jules and I, it's about sharing
a sensory or sensual experience.

The combination of colors,
smells and flavors...

And the tactile aspect, too.
I couldn't agree more.

Would you mind throwing
the asparagus on the grill?

- You bet. I'm on it.
- Very nice.

- Wow, that looks delicious, Bettina.
- It's what the kids want.

- This isn't going to work.
- Just do what I say!

Why are you so angry all the time?
Cucumber jelly was a terrible idea.

Cucumber jelly? How retro!

- Right? It's my mom's recipe.
- That's wonderful.

But it's not vegan.
Gelatin is made from pigs' hooves.

Those kids are sneaky!

No way.

Lis, can you move out of the way?

- What?
- Do you have to stand right there?

- Calm down with those nut baskets.
- I just need to put them here.

Has anyone seen the six bars of Valrhona
chocolate that were on this shelf?

No, Wencke.

I put six bars of Valrhona chocolate
right here.

They can't just disappear...
I need it for the nut baskets.

How's the cucumber jelly?

I'm looking for a serving plate.

Ulrik... It was okay that we smoked
that joint last night, right?

What do you mean?

Well, Piv just seems a bit uptight
and I don't want to cause any trouble.

- Of course not. It's cool.
- Cool.

They can't just disappear,
for god's sake.

You can keep my sweater for next time.

Is it yours?

Have you seen the six Valrhona
bars that were in there?

- No.
- Shit.

I think it's almost there.

Did you eat the Valrhona chocolate?

What? No! Of course not.
I would never.

I don't know what to say, Wencke.

You could say that you've eaten
six bars of Valrhona chocolate.

Six bars of Valrhona chocolate...

Come on. Of course I haven't.
You'd be able to tell if I had.

- Look, I know it's a bit of a kerfuffle...
- You need to stop saying kerfuffle.

- What?
- Stop saying kerfuffle.

- I don't say kerfuffle...
- Yes, you say kerfuffle all the time.

Now it's about me saying kerfuffle?

You accuse me of eating chocolate, which
no, I didn't do, because we have a deal.

But I can only uphold my part of the deal
if you show me some trust, and you don't.

You're constantly accusing me
of all kinds of things.

And I'm sick of it.
I'm so freakin' sick of it.

And does the boy sense it?
Yes, he does.

Be careful, Wencke. Be careful
of what you pass on to our kids.

Hey. Here's the Kobe beef.
Straight from Japan.

Ridiculously expensive.
Want to try?

No.

To each his own...

Are you aware
of the ecological footprint?

It's CO2 and methane straight
into your kids.

Why are you such a pain
in the ass, Thorbjørn?

Aren't you getting laid,
or what's the problem?

For Christ's sake.

- Hello?
- It's me. Vanja called.

- What's going on? Why did she call?
- She called from here?

Yes. She says she's stressed.
What's that about?

- I'm not making her stressed.
- She says you are.

Was that the word she used, Nathalie,
or are you making this up?

- Give it a rest. She wants to move home.
- For how long?

- I think we should do four months.
- Four months!? You can fucking forget it!

Anything less than four months doesn't
make sense. Four months is fine.

If you're making this up,
I'll throw my lawyer right in your face.

Do you understand?
Right in your face.

Stop pulling the lawyer card every time
we have a conflict!

- You owe me 40 euro for the aquarium.
- What?

- 46.5 euro.
- You've got to be...

- Yes, you bet!
- We're trying to reinvent it.

They're the ones negotiating
with Denmark...

This is fucking delicious,
Moa-Britt!

Yes, I'm even swearing.
What's it called?

We're having "veiled peasant girls".

It's just breadcrumbs with whipped
cream and mashed apples.

- Done in no time.
- Absolutely scrumptious.

You've got try Moa's
veiled peasant girls!

It was "veiled peasant girl", right?
"Peasant girl".

If it's one portion,
it's "peasant girl".

If it's a whole bowl,
it's "peasant girls".

- You could learn something, Wencke.
- Oh, Lasse...

She can take it.

It's okay to be good at something!
At least it is at our house.

Yes, of course!
We can't let it get too socialistic!

- You're a sweet little peasant girl.
- Yeah.

Kåre loves chores.

That's great, Lis.

Am I the only one who can't log
out of the intranet on Android?

- I think so.
- It's not Android. It's a systemic bug.

It's Unilogin, then. I thought so.

Because Wencke tried on her iPhone
and it was the same.

I don't know, Per. I'm just a carpenter.
Just say when.

- It's ridiculous. They throw in millions.
- Thank you. Stop! That's plenty!

If Ulrik is allowed, so are you.

Allowed to do what?

Well, he smoked pacalolo with Julie
last night, that much I know.

- What?
- Pacalolo. Hawaiian pot.

I grow it myself. It's delicious.
You should try it sometime.

- And the thing doesn't even work...
- There was so much...

It's the same thing every time.
Again and again,

they have to shut down the whole thing
and stop the projects halfway through.

Well? Having a good time?

So you smoked pot with Julie
last night too?

- What do you mean 'too'?
- Did you?

Yes, we shared a joint.

What else did you do?

- Wow, Piv.
- You're here with your daughter!

You told me to have fun,
so I did, and now that's wrong?

What if Hannah had seen you?

Do you think I'm stupid?
She was asleep with the others.

This isn't about how stupid you are.
We don't have time to talk about that!

Oh, okay.

It's about you having a responsibility
for our daughter.

- Yes, and I'm taking responsibility.
- By smoking weed and getting wasted.

- I wasn't wasted.
- It's just pathetic, Ulrik.

Other people out there know
how to rein themselves in.

- Really? Who?
- Oh, you want names? Let's see.

- Moa-Britt, Lis...
- Lis is drunk as a skunk.

Wencke, then. No, Per!

You make it sound like a pound
of heroin. It was just a joint.

I think we should see about
going back to Larkdale.

- Excuse me?
- I'll call them on Monday.

- Honey, what are you talking about?
- I don't like it here.

- Piv!
- No! Why won't they include Hannah?

They're all so far up their own asses.
Why isn't there some sort of plan?

Because things take time.
We'll get there.

We're going to go mingle now.
Chat with the others. We'll get there.

You need a refill.

Down to the garden center,
again and again.

- Okay. I have a dilemma for the panel.
- Yeah!

It's more of a council.

- Are you game?
- Hell yeah!

- I want to be Shakira!
- I'll be Simon Cowell!

- He's not part of the panel.
- It's a council.

He will be!

Okay, okay. So, here's the situation.
Kåre plays Fortnite eight hours a day.

Oh, don't mention the war.

- Is that a problem for you too?
- Well, it's definitely...

Great dilemma! Thanks, Lis! Next!

- What's the dilemma, Lis?
- Bertil decides for himself.

He quits when he gets bored.

Then he runs outside.
He's way too active.

I just wish Kåre would spend that
much time practicing the violin.

But he doesn't like playing the violin,
does he?

What?

Anton says that Kåre gets upset
when he can't hang out

because he has violin practice.

- Lis...
- Lis, it's the same with Konrad.

- Really?
- Hell yes!

He throws a fit every
time he has karate.

You bet. He hates it.

He always wants to do something else.
But he doesn't know what he likes.

- They don't at that age.
- No.

Don't they, Bettina?

I just think it would be a pity
for him to waste his talents.

You think it's a pity if he wastes
his talents. Can't you hear it?

I've got to say, Bettina, I totally
agree with Julie on this one.

Surely it's okay to be ambitious
on your kids' behalf.

- Definitely, Bettina!
- Or is that wrong too?

No, not at all.
And I'm not a perfect mom or anything.

- Yes!
- No!

But we try to teach Hannah
to say no if she's not thriving.

So she thrives
when she's changing schools?

No, I think you misunderstand...

I got the impression that
you've moved her four times?

Honey...

- Yes, well, we've moved quite a bit.
- Because of my work.

A few streets down
and into a bigger house, right?

Maybe now isn't the time...

Cheers.

- Yes, let's have a drink. Right?
- Yes.

Come on, we're here to party,
god dammit!

Plus, the academic level at Larkdale
was unacceptable.

- So Ulrik and I decided...
- That's true.

Exactly! You decided.

Just like Lis and the rest of us decide
what's best for our kids all the time.

But it's as if your decisions are just
a bit better than everyone else's.

Bettina! That's too much.

I trust Piv to do what's best
for Hannah.

I think Konrad wouldn't enjoy changing
schools like he changes underwear,

but Hannah is different,
and that's fine!

We're discussing this calmly.

No one is changing their underwear.

- You've never changed your underwear?
- I'm not wearing any, Wencke.

Maybe Ulrik and Piv
would like to share something?

- What should we share?
- It's just something we do, Piv.

- What do you do?
- Give some and take some.

- We share experiences.
- In all confidentiality.

In all confidentiality? Okay.

Nothing leaves this room,
that's for sure.

Well, I don't know about that...

Because you have nice chats
with Rasmus and Signe.

We take a spinning class together.

What do you talk about?

That's not really any of your business,
is it now?

You're talking about my child,
so of course it's my business.

Honey.

You're seriously crossing a line, Bettina,
and you know it. Did I offend you somehow?

I have no clue what you're talking about.
What's her problem?

Cheers!

- You are insanely unpleasant.
- You have to consider...

I think you're incredibly
unpleasant, Bettina.

This suddenly turned very personal.

I think so too.
We don't use that tone here.

You're taking it too seriously. We're just
very engaged. That's just how we are.

Oh, really? Engaged? In what?

- This is too much.
- That's okay.

- No, it fucking isn't okay!
- Piv, sit down.

Don't touch me!

I shouldn't have to feel like this.
What the hell is this? It's not okay!

We're new.
My little girl is new here.

None of you have lifted a finger
to make her feel welcome.

Neither you nor your kids.

You do nothing but talk about joint
birthday parties

and vegan groups
and parent contacts...

Joint birthday parties?
We've never held joint birthdays.

The only one who's shown any interest
in her is some poor kid

you've named after a legal code.

And maybe you're all fine with it, but
I'm not. Because it's my daughter.

And she's sweet and funny,
and she's loving and creative.

So go write a reader's letter.

- God, you're such a snob.
- Shut the fuck up!

Hey! Piv, look at me. I just want
to say that Julian is a great boy.

Oh, really?
Then why isn't Bertil playing with him?

Why is no one but my daughter
playing with him?

- Piv, I think I know exactly how you feel.
- Would you please be quiet.

It's true what she says.

Can't you tell there are too many
opinions in the room right now!

This is a democratic forum.

I didn't ask for your opinion either,
Moa-Britt!

- You need to calm down.
- You calm down!

- No, the woman is right!
- Listen to what she's saying!

Calm down!

No! All we ever do is discuss the right
types of almond flour and shit!

Wencke. Wencke...

Let's take responsibility
for this dialog.

I don't want to calm down!
It's all we ever talk about!

Hey, come on. Let's all take
responsibility for the situation.

You're totally right! They're shoving
shared birthdays up our asses!

Good evening.

Hello, Adrian. Hello!

I was done at work, so I wanted
to drop by. I brought Rikke along.

Hello, Rikke.

Hi. My favorite principal!

- Hello, Julie.
- Welcome.

- Thanks. Enjoying yourselves?
- Yes!

- I brought some Barolo.
- Hi, Rikke.

- So this is where you're hiding?
- Yeah.

Damn. What's up with the weather
all of a sudden?

I'll say.

- What a circus, huh?
- I can't deal with them.

Totally!

Rikke, 32...
Any bitches on Tinder?

This is only when I don't have Vanja.

- Yes, of course.
- I'm all dad when I have her.

You don't have to explain yourself.
Do your thing.

She's the woman in my life.

My little princess. I tell you...

She's really great.
We talk about that sometimes.

- Who does?
- Bettina and me.

We love you. But you know that.
I've told you a thousand times.

There's no way she called Natalie
from up here. No way.

No... Who did?

I'll throw my lawyer right
in her fucking face!

Frederik?

Oh, no... What's wrong?

- I'm blubbering.
- It's okay.

Listen... Look at me.
Look at me.

I think you're a wonderful dad. Really.

Thank you, Tommy.

Salsa! It's salsa time, Tommy!

Is it salsa? Is that now or...
Was it now or when did they say...

Fucking hell...

There you are.

What is it now?

We're a man short for salsa.

- So?
- Maybe you could contribute a little bit.

- To what?
- To the community, for example.

- Maybe I could punch you in the face?
- You?

Yes, me.

God dammit! Fuck!

Seriously. Get some help.

Shit... Fucking asshole.

Hello there.

Who's that glass for?

Doctor's orders, man.
Champagne is good for my health.

- Go ahead, have a seat.
- What are we drinking?

Ulrik? Come here for a second.

I'd like to go home now.

We can't.

- I'm not feeling well. Find Hannah.
- So we can start over yet again?

- It's humiliating. They hate me.
- Yes, probably.

But your daughter will hate you even more
if she has to change schools again.

I'm fed up with this.
You go home, I'll stay here.

- What?
- You go home, I'll stay.

- Are you done with me?
- I didn't say that.

Yes, you did. That's what you said.

You're going to explain this to Hannah.

Are you going home?

Yes, we didn't plan this very well.
Ulrik is building a deck at home.

I thought you built that last year?

- It's a different one.
- You have a lot of decks, eh?

You do what you need to do.

We have this sea bathing club...
Did I tell you about that?

Yes.

Several people feel we could really
use a doctor in the group.

Oh, that sounds good.

Yeah. And it seems there are actually
two open spots, if you're interested.

Sure. That sounds like fun.

You should know that some
of us swim naked.

The full Adam costume.
But that's completely up to you.

- Even more fun!
- Okay, great. What about you, Piv?

How does it sound to you?

It sounds... cold.

Cold indeed.

Adrian, you have two open spots
in the sea bathing club?

Yes. Well, not anymore.

It's just because Wencke and I have been
on the waiting list since 2nd grade.

Really? Well, I can't remember
off the top of my head.

But you know there
are more factors involved.

What factors are those?
No, let me just do this.

We've been on the waiting list
since 2nd grade, Adrian.

Can someone bring Per a glass of water?
You're clearly dehydrated.

What are these factors determining

that Piv and Ulrik
can skip the waiting list?

They've only been at the school
for four weeks!

- You need a glass of water.
- Don't you touch me!

Why the hell is he touching me?
Don't touch me!

I'm just saying that we've been on
the waiting list since 2nd grade!

- I don't know anything about that.
- I do and I'm putting my foot down!

I'm allowed to put my foot down!

Oh, right.
You were on your way home.

Shall we say Wednesday,
6:30 a.m. in the sea bathing club?

Yep.

Well... I'll go find Hannah.

What's up, gorgeous?

We're actually heading home.
Mom isn't feeling well.

What's wrong?

I think it's all the new impressions.
You know what she's like.

She gets overwhelmed.

I refuse to change schools, Dad.

Okay.

- Or is this about last night?
- What do you mean?

You think I didn't see you
at the bonfire? It was gross.

I believe I have 10 euro
in my pocket.

But I'm not changing schools.

You do know she won't be changing
schools again, right? She refuses.

And she always lands on her feet.
That's how she is.

Do you think I'm a snob?

So just to bring this to a close:
I had to expel Per and Wencke.

Resorting to violence is unacceptable,
and you all know that.

But I'm truly sorry.

- They lacked some filters. Let's face it.
- Yes.

Several filters, I might add,
as a professional.

Right.

- But they kind of gave up in the end.
- No.

Yes, you're probably right.

When you reject the community,
you somehow reject yourself too.

But let's welcome our new teacher.
Thomas, the floor is yours.

- Thanks.
- And everyone, let's behave!

Don't forget: It's not easy to be
the new person. Keep that in mind.

- Remember that.
- Thanks.

See you later, alligator.

Okay, my turn! Listen up.

I see from Wencke's very thorough minutes
that you have some outstanding items. Yes?

- The bathing situation.
- The bathing situation?

She didn't mention that.

Kåre is very uncomfortable
being naked right now.

Lis... We look the way we look.

The alcohol policy.

- Thank you, Piv.
- Isn't it a bit early for that?

No. Thorbørn's eldest started
in 4th grade.

I think it's important to focus

on the kids' mental and physical
working environment slash health.

You're so right, Moa-Britt.

They shouldn't have to shower
with the girls...

So, where are you going?

Parents' party at Tommy and Bettina's.

- Ni Hao ma!
- Wo shi zhong guo ren.

Are you going to get hammered?

No, sweetheart! It's a parents' party.
It'll be very quiet.

You look ridiculous.

We've made such a big effort.

- Whatever.
- Say hi to Julian.

Say hi to Julian. Love you.

Hello, Lasse.

I'll be right there.
