Sounds like you have quite a complicated relationship

with both your parents.

Stella?

Has it always been that way?

How do you think it might've been if they'd reacted differently?

You might need this.

Hi.

No, no. I'll get it. I'll get it. It's all right.

Oh, I hope you have lots of fun, darling.

And be sure to drink a lot.

- It's gonna be hot this week. - Yeah, yeah. I will, I promise.

- Bye. - Gonna miss you.

- Mm. - Love you.

- Score loads, my superstar girl. - Bye.

- Yeah. - Pass to Amina.

- Yeah. - Hey!

Bye, love.

Love you!

See ya! Hey.

- Hi! - Yeah!

Hi!

- Amina! - Hello!

Hey! You excited? Yeah!

- Give that here. - I'm so excited. It's gonna be so good!

Brought my iPad, so we can watch horror films.

And I've brought tons and tons of sweets.

Who is that?

He's so cute!

Robin Kjellander, he's new.

He's on the A-side.

He's the assistant coach, you know.

- I gotta go and talk to him. - What you gonna say?

This one's mine...

- You up top? - Yep.

Okay.

Come on, girls. Speed up!

Good, good, good, good, good. That's it. Pass it now.

Use the space.

Pass it, Amina! Pass it!

Use the space.

Behind.

- Go on, Melissa! - Good!

- To me! - Yes, yes. That's good.

- Oof! - Nice, Stella!

Great. Great pass, Amina.

- Nice one! - You got it!

- Thought we were going swimming. - Aah!

- Swimming? - Yeah.

No way! Not again.

- Why not? - I felt sick afterwards yesterday.

Did you feel the ground there? Disgusting!

- It's so disgusting. - You don't have to dig your feet into it.

Shall I waddle around just like a duck in there? Nah.

Can't we just chill instead? I wanna finish the movie!

Hi.

Hi.

You played well.

Good shots. Awareness.

- Thanks. - Good work.

Can I ask you something?

Yeah.

I was thinking I'd go for a swim.

Okay.

Wanna join me?

Uh...

Just with you?

Yeah.

- Hello, Stella? - Yeah?

- Where are you going? - Swimming.

With Robin.

- Whoo! Ah! - Gotta keep moving!

Ooh! Oh!

Ah! Cold!

- Ah. - Good fun.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Cold.

Yeah!

Yeah, come on!

Jump!

Come.

Come.

Robin, we...

Wait.

Hold on.

No, Robin, wait.

Oh.

Uh, hold on...

Uh, Robin, I don't want to.

- What... what are you doing in there? - We're not doing anything.

What are you doing? This is a private boathouse!

Get out of here! Go on!

- What? - Dirty bugger!

I don't know what to say, Stella.

You are 15.15!

- Didn't mean to. - "Didn't mean to"?

He just wouldn't stop.

Even though I didn't want to.

Just carried on.

Huh?

You didn't want to?

You tell him that? You didn't want to?

And he just carried on?

Yeah...

Stella.

This kinda thing is really serious.

Is it true?

Yeah.

So I'm going to push down a little bit now,

but you shouldn't feel any pain.

Relax...

- Oh, sweetheart. - Yes. That's it, Stella.

- It's all right. You're doing so well. - It's nearly over.

You could see that she was red. Her thighs were red.

And I can see that you've made no mention of that.

But there were no marks on the skin.

- I saw! - It's very... We're talk-...

- Are you saying that it is not? - Not at all.

You said it yourself when we were in there

that you noticed a reddened area.

That she was red.

But now you aren't saying anything.

I'm not that sure, but...

Well, I don't understand.

Stella?

You must tell me everything. It's vital.

What happened?

I didn't want to, but

he just kept on going.

Did you tell him to stop? What... what did you say?

I said I wanted him to stop...

Good. So, how...

how did you say it?

Did you say, "No, I don't want to"? Did you try to push him away?

- No. - No.

So, you did nothing, Stella?

I, uh... I did...

Okay.

So, d'you make it clear?

Robin could have misunderstood

or thought you were saying something else, Stella.

- No. Uh, I... I don't know. - Okay.

- Ulrika, please... - I don't know.

Wait in the kitchen. I won't be long.

Mm.

So...

Now you must get some sleep, all right?

That's it.

Listen to what I'm saying, will you?

We must report this to the police!

Yeah, I am listening,

but her examination found no evidence that she'd been assaulted, Adam.

- But... - Do you honestly think-...

If I... were handling this case,

I wouldn't think of taking it further.

Even though it's the truth, darling,

we will fucking lose this in a court of law,

believe me.

So, we just forget about it all? Is that it?

- We have to do what is right. - Right for who?

Right for us all. Right!

Darling, we... we're on the same side.

But this isn't about morality. It's a matter of law.

If we report this,

Stella will be questioned.8

First by police.

"Who kissed who," Adam, and "Who undressed who?"

Everyone will pick a side.

And Stella, I guarantee, will be the one who is blamed in the end.

And then, even worse.

it won't even end up going to court 'cause there are no witnesses.

So... what... what are you saying?

What is most vital?

That we protect our Stella

from more trauma

or we start a prosecution that we'll surely lose in the end?

So, we... we just let it go?

So, we pretend somehow that nothing went on?

- Do... do... do... do you believe her or not? - Of course, I believe her.

It's not about what you and I know.

In court, what you can prove is the only thing that wins.

I'm sorry...

I'm a lawyer, Adam.

You have to trust me on this.

I see these kinds of cases all the time.

We must be in agreement on this, my love.

Okay.

Okay, we'll take care of it ourselves.

We won't go to the police.

Stella.

Stella?

4 YEARS LATER

A NEARLY NORMAL FAMILY

THE DAUGHTER

There's a match tomorrow, and I need to take it easy tonight.

No, no. Listen, no, Amina,

This evening you are all mine.

You don't have to end up blind drunk or fingered in some smelly toilet.

But it's my birthday, for God's sake.

Yeah, okay.

Okay... I hear you. When are you getting here?

Um... soon as I can. Max one hour.

Mm.

Ah!

Dessert will be here soon.

- Mm. - Mm.

Um...

So,

you want your present?

Yeah.

Yeah, I do.

- Happy birthday, darling. - Happy birthday.

- Nineteen years old. It's crazy. - Sure is.

Go on, read it.

Thanks...

HAPPY 19TH!

- "Look out the window"? - Ah...

Nifty, huh?

- A moped? - No more cycling to your job.

Yeah, it's nifty, but I did say...

I was worried the colour could be a bit girly,

but the guy assured me that it was really popular and on trend.

Why don't you guys ever listen to me?

I told you I wanted money to go travelling.

Yeah, I know, but...

- I thought, um... - What is it that you guys just don't get?

Uh... we can...

Let's talk about it later. Dessert's coming. Oh, it's here.

- Ah, tiramisu. - Yeah.

This looks so good.

- Thank you. - Thanks.

Thanks. I hope you like it.

- Mm, thanks a lot, thank you. - Thank you.

- I... - Oh, have they redone this whole area?

Wasn't... wasn't the bar... wasn't it there before?

Yeah... yeah, perhaps. Probably.

Oh, this'll be the university.

I must take it.

- Sorry. Sorry. - Hmm.

Hi...

Gimme a moment, just moving somewhere a bit quieter.

Yeah.

Well, working tomorrow?

Uh, no. Took a... sick day.

Okay.

Yeah, I... said I had a migraine. There's a girl who wanted more shifts, so...

Stella.

You shouldn't lie like that...

Not even about the little things.

Okay.

- So, are you saying you don't lie? - No, but I try to avoid lying.

And have you thought about all the people who actually suffer from migraines?

Well, they can...

No. They can really be debilitating... Yeah...

- They can! - Yeah.

No! I never said that.

Thanks.

No!

Yeah, that works for me.

- Hi. - Hiya.

Amina.

- Hello, you! How are you? - Stella's here.

Oh, hi, Stella.

- Hey! - Oh!

Happy birthday, lovely. You're growing so fast, eh?

- Thanks. - Happy birthday.

- Oh, really? Aww, guys! - Here you are.

Thanks, that's so kind.

Just a small contribution to your travelling fund.

Ah, that's so nice. Thank you.

Amina?

Amina.

Aren't you ready yet?

"Hey, Amina!" are the words I think you're after.

"Great to see you!"

Amina!

Hey! God, it's been ages. Oh, how I've missed you.

Mwah!

Hmm? That all right?

Yeah!

They really get you a moped?

They must've run out of bracelets.

- Keep still. - Sorry.

But

can't you sell it, then?

It's not about the money. It's the principle.

- They just don't listen. - Be still, nearly done.

Yes.

There.

Look.

I am always here for you.

I care about what you think. And how you feel.

And tonight, you'll have the best birthday night ever.

Okay?

Yeah, 'cause of the slutty dress you gave me.

Exactly.

Yeah.

Could you check this? Feels like it's gonna slip out any minute.

Come.

Ah, looks like it's moved a bit. Lemme check the other one.

Looks good.

Shit, you look so hot in that dress.

I'm gonna let you keep it.

Nice!

Vamos.

- Eyes on the prize. - Yeah. Now focus.

Let's get a drink in. Excuse me.

Beer. Nice.

- All good. - Uh...

- Amina! - Hi!

- Hey. - It's so good to see you!

- You too! How are you doing? - Uh...

- Oh, yeah. Uh, Stella. - Yeah.

- Louise, Jonna. - Cool.

- They're in my class at Juridicum. - Yeah, yeah, hello.

What do you study?

- Uh, she works. - Mm?

Uh... Grandma's Bakery.

It's just the name of the place, not my gran's.

At the café, then?

Yeah. For now.

A full-time job, is it?

Stella's going travelling next year.

- Okay. - Yeah.

- Cool. - Yeah.

Mm.

- Hey, let's go have a dance. - You must come study with us sometime.

- Please do. - I'd like that.

- I've found the best website... Look. - I won't be long.

- You can hunt down any book. - Ah.

- Then search the name of your tutor... - I'm going for a wander.

- Won't be a tick. - Uh-huh.

- I can send you the link. - Okay. That'd be so cool.

Hey!

Hey, wait up! You, uh... you in the suit.

Where are you headed?

Uh, I'm going to, uh, Copenhagen.

- A mate's hosting a vernissage. - What?

I'm also going to a vernissage there as well.

So, who's the artist, huh?

Jean... Paul...

- Mm. - Mårten... sson?

Mårtens... Mm, that guy. Yeah.

- Classic. - Yeah...

- Yeah. - Yeah!

Um... go with me?

Huh?

It's my birthday.

Okay. Hop in.

- You're coming back to Lund, aren't you? - Yeah, gotta get back later.

Great.

- Pretty. - That so?

I... really like how, uh... the artist has aligned perspectives here.

And the colours really give it depth.

The light falls onto it from the side.

You're so right.

It becomes a stark metaphor for, um...

well, for life, don't you think?

Yeah.

Above all, I like the dog though.

The dog?

Mm.

It paints a clear picture of, uh, interpersonal loyalty.

And the way the cat lets him sit on his head like that.

Now you mention it, I agree with you.

It's so clear.

It shows love and...

- Acceptance. Yeah? - Yeah!

Right. Or anxiety.

Lots of anxiety.

And it's a little bit excluding for those with nut allergies though...

Unsightly.

Very unsightly.

Yeah.

- Is that a good idea? - It's a bit dangerous.

- Yeah. - It's good though.

- Let's get a drink. We need a drink! - Good outfit!

I'm sorry, what? Pardon?

I love your dress.

No, I still can't hear what you're saying.

I love your dress!

- Oh, this?! - Yeah!

- Oh! Aww! - Oh yeah!

- Do you wanna switch? - What?

- Do you want to switch? - Oh, yeah!

Great. Perfect.

- Thank you! - Voilà!

Wait. Hold on.

Miss Kitty. What's your name?

Stella.

And you?

Chris.

Christoffer Olsen.

Chris.

Thanks for the fun.

Thank you.

It was, uh...

- Yeah? - Yeah.

- Mm. Kinda. - Yes.

Exactly.

- See ya. - See ya.

6 WEEKS LATER

THE FATHER

Stella.

Dinner's ready.

She's not at home.

Huh? Where is she?

I don't know. At work, I guess.

After that she was going out with Amina, I think.

When will she be home?

- I... I'll call her and check. - No, Adam.

Let her be. She...

she'll be home later tonight.

I need to go into the office for a bit.

- What? You're going to work now? - Yeah.

It's Friday night. Dinner's gonna be ready in three minutes.

Yeah, I'm sorry, but I don't have time.

Got a problem with an application, and it's due by nine tonight.

Please, Adam...

Perhaps you should check if we're eating together

before you start cooking dinner.

Well, I'll wait, then.

- We'll eat when you come home. - No.

Absolutely not.

You can save me some. I'll eat when I get back, darling. Okay?

- Bye. - See ya.

LUND UNIVERSITY EMPLOYEE

STELLA CALLING...

Hi, this is Stella. Please don't leave a message! Bye!

Oh hi, sweetheart, it's just me.

Um...

Uh, it's nothing really. I, um... just calling

to see if you are all right.

Well, there's dinner waiting when you come home.

Uh... but I hope you're having fun tonight.

Okay? I'll see you soon.

Take care now.

Okay? All right, bye. I'll see you later, yeah?

I LEFT A VOICE MAIL WHEN DO YOU THINK YOU'LL BE HOME?

I HOPE YOU'RE HAVING FUN! WILL YOU BE OUT LATE?

WHEN WILL YOU BE HOME?

CAN YOU PLEASE ANSWER?

Stella?

You scared me.

What you doing down here?

Have you showered?

Uh, do you know what time it is?

I called and texted you.

Why didn't you answer? I...

Did you cut yourself?

No.

Stella.

Hey, what's happened?

Stella's home now.

Oh, that's good.

Ugh! Fuck!

Stella!

Calm down, will you?

But, I... I need to get to work and I can't find my phone.

Okay. Where did you see it last?

Ah, thanks mum! That's so smart. I should've thought of that!

- Stella! - Fuck's sake. Idiot!

Stella, wait! Look.

I won't accept you talking to me like that, understand?

If you're without your phone for a few hours, you'll cope.

- You kidding me? - Too right.

Well, Mum, you're constantly on the fucking thing.

Jesus Christ!

Good morning.

Good morning.

What was that about?

Nothing. She...

she was late for work and then, uh, she couldn't find her mobile.

You must have got home late last night.

Mm-hmm.

Did it go okay?

With the... application?

Yeah. We submitted it in time.

Uh...

uh... we must...

Adam, we have to leave soon if we're gonna make it in time.

Uh, I really must get ready.

Can you...

can you make me coffee?

'Kay? Mm.

Ulrika.

Hey, I just found her phone.

It was outside the sauna.

- What was it doing there? - She took a shower late last night.

- In the basement? - I guess she didn't want to wake us.

Okay.

But shall we... shall we drop it off at work for her?

We have time, right?

You really do dote on her way too much, you know.

- You not getting changed, then? - Yeah, course. I'll get a move on.

I'll... I'll leave it in her room.

- That was in. - Yours, Adam...

- Yours, yours, yours. - Ah.

- Nice! - Oh, great!

Yours.

- Whoa! - Adam.

Come on!

I swiped the air.

- Ah, sorry about that. - Don't worry about it.

I'll stop saying I always win.

- You played so well. - Yeah, been practising.

- All part of the plan. - Yeah, you did.

- New paddle? - Must be lucky.

- Yeah. - You were great, darling.

Oi.

Looks like things are all right again, between you and Alex.

You know how it is. We row and we make up. We row and we make up.

Mm.

I get so jealous of you and Ulrika, you know.

You have it so...

laid back and easy. Stable, you know.

I guess.

Some days I think we'd be better off without one another, me and Alex.

But I wouldn't last a single day without her, I tell ya.

Fact. You probably wouldn't, actually.

- We're here. - Hi!

- Hello. - Sit down.

- You not staying, Adam? - 'Fraid not. Got a christening in a bit.

- Okay. - So, yep...

But hey, you can come over to ours for dinner sometime.

- Mm. - I bought a slow cooker.

That means dinner will be at two or three in the morning, then.

Hey, you're lucky he's good in the kitchen.

- What? I can cook as well. - Yeah.

- Yeah, I make the world's best burek. - You do.

You wolf it down.

Always.

Well, better get going or I'll be late, but, uh, see you soon.

- See you later. - Goodbye, Adam.

Oh...

- See ya soon. - Yeah.

- Yup. - Take care.

- See you. - Bye.

- What you got against my burek? - Nothing, darling.

POLICE

Can you just move back, please?

Excuse me. Wh... what's happened?

A murder, I think.

- A murder? - Yes. It's awful.

Ah...

Officer?

Can I help in any way?

POLICE LINE DO NOT CROSS

Not right now, thank you.

If there's anything the church can do, you can count on it.

Mm.

Thank you, sir.

THE MOTHER

Why are you in such a hurry? Huh?

Stay for a little while, at least.

Ulrika.

I told Adam that I was going to work tonight.

But...

...but can't you stay... just a few minutes longer?

Five minutes?

Pour you a glass of merlot if you like.

Hey, I must go home.

If you must, then.

Bye, Mikael.

Ugh! Fuck!

- Ugh! - Stella.

Calm down, will you?

But I... I need to get to work and I can't find my phone.

Okay. Where did you see it last?

Ah, thanks, Mum. That's so smart. I should have thought of that.

Fuck's sake! Idiot.

Stella.

Stella! Wait.

Wait.

Look, I won't accept you talking to me like that, do you understand?

If you're without your phone for a few hours you'll cope.

- You kidding me? - Yeah, too right!

Well, Mum, you're constantly on the fucking thing.

Jesus Christ!

And you know, Amina loves it there so very much.

Well, I just don't know how I can ever thank you, Ulrika.

I don't think it ever would have occurred to her to go to law school if...

'Course, it would...

- No. - You know.

She is... she's so clever.

She'll go a long way, Amina.

Yes.

How's Stella now?

Honestly, I have no idea.

She, uh...

she's so unlike me.

I was more like Amina.

I knew exactly what I wanted...

Uh, it's horrible...

I'm ashamed for having a

daughter who didn't... work hard enough

to complete her secondary education.

I see.

It has been really tough for her, you have to know that.

If I'd had but one tenth of the life chances

that she's had growing up, I would... well, I would've been so lucky.

You don't need to worry.

Stella's smart. And time is on her side.

CALL FROM MIKAEL BLOMBERG

Mikael, you can't call like this. Adam's getting suspicious.

Yes, I know,

but I'm calling because Stella's been arrested by the police.

What's happened?

Well, I've only just heard.

- Hold on a sec, I'll... - Well, is it drugs?

One moment. I'm just moving to another room.

Mikael? What's going on?

Stella has been arrested for murder.

What? Murder?!

Yeah. Apparently, they have a witness who can link her to the crime scene.

- Anyway, I... I'll try to get... - Who's the victim?

Uh, apparently, it's a young man.

What's he called?

Uh, Christoffer Olsen. Sound familiar to you?

No. Never heard that name before.

Right, I'll see what else I can find out.

Look, uh...

I want you to defend her.

Okay.

Go down to... to the station.

I'll meet you there. I'm heading there now.

No, no, you wait there. Better you stay at home.

The police are on their way with a search warrant.

I'll call as soon as I know more.

Okay? Bye.

Yeah...

Hi, Ulrika?

Anders Thelin. We met before at the prosecutor's.

Hi. What...?

- What's going on? - We're here to search your house.

Search my house? What for?

Well, your daughter's been arrested for a serious crime, and I need your keys.

You know the routine.

What's happened?

I can't go into any details at the moment,

But your daughter's in custody down at the station.

Anyone else at home?

No. My... my husband's not here at the moment.

- We'll need to talk to both of you. So... - Yeah.

My colleague will take you to the police station now. Okay?

- Okay. - Good.

You can come with us. Come.

- Thank you. - Mm.

- Let's get started. - Yeah.

That's it.

- Okay? - We have a car waiting, over there.

Hiya...

You're gonna sit in the back.

Mind your head.

Seatbelt.

There you go.

That's it, perfect.

Thanks.
