All language subtitles for Pensionat Oskar (1995)

What I sought for, what I found
What I lost, what I won

What I dreamt of
To dare one day

A hunger, a force
A courage I never had

And a moment of strenght

I dread my tomorrow
And regret my yesterdays

While the fire is burning
by the Ocean

I drew in the sand
but the waves came

and rinsed in over the beach

Who I sought for, Who I found
Who I lost and who I won

Was myself

-Dad, I can't sleep.
-Come here.

I don't think I'll get any sleep tonight.

You won't sleep tonight?
Guess what?

I know about Little Bunny
and he goes to sleep every night

So quickly, with the long ear across the cheek.

Gunnel? Gunnel?

Krister Larsson was cast in a feature film.
That's funny.

He was in the same class with me at the Drama School.

Intresting! Things are going great for him.

There weren't only you two in that class.
What happened with the others?

It's still great someone is getting somewhere.

Yes...

We live our lives,
sort out our laundry

yell at our children
and cheat on each other

I anyone asks we say "On weekends
we're spending time with friends."

But we haven't been for two years.
Isn't it so, Gunnel?

Mmm...

And we buy all these unnecessary
and expensive gifts

just so we can still imagine
that we love each other.

But we don't

We don't even love ourselves.

Little Bunny... He's asleep...

Damn...!

Rune? This is Harry Norbell.
He's the new production manager.

I'm starting on August 1,
but I thought I'd stop by now.

Oh well... In that case
I'm Rune Runeberg.

-That's a funny name.
-Yes, just like the poet.

''High above the mountains of Saarij�rvi,
lived a farmer in a frozen homestead."

-But no, we're not related.
-Not everyone is.

Rune has been at the production development
for ten years!

Ten years in August.

Ten years at the same spot,
that's what I call faithful.

Nice to meet you...
I forgot your name!

-Rune.
-That's right! Like the poet.

No, the poet is Runeberg.

Dinner time!

Dad, we're starting to eat now!

Dad! Come on, dad!

Come on! Dad!

Now we have a lamp in the sauna,
if anyone cares.

-Can I turn on the light?
-It's more cosy this way.

Viktor, don't shell the whole head.
This is how it's done.

See, there is plenty of food here.
This is how it's done.

You pull the antenna...
And then you go at it.

-Don't be disgusting!
-Look out for the green stuff.

-I'm getting sick.
-What's the matter??

Okay, all heads on my plate. It's
a sin to throw away all that food.

Guess what we're celebrating?
I've got the job at the institute.

-Congratulations!
-Oh? I thought you weren't gonna take it.

-Back then I didn't know I got it.
-Oh.

-Is that all you got to say?
-Thanks for the dinner.

No, I have a lot to say about
what this means for the rest of us.

You'll be away every evening and weekend.
Viktor, you think it's gonna be fun?

Don't worry, it'll work out.
See mommy is so happy about this.

We've been through this, it's your turn to take
care of things.

But we'd have to change everything!

If you don't congratulate me now I'm
going to be very upset and angry!

-Congratulations! Great for you!
-For us!

By the way, I was finished with the sauna today.

The final unit will be delivered after the holiday.
So let's toast to that too! Cheers!

How can you be so indifferent to what's important
in my life.

-And so bad at hiding it too!
-That's not true.

Like when we walked past the house
where we lived when my father left us.

I point, and you don't even look up.

Finally you glare at it unpolitely,
and at the wrong house too!

And then you say:
"Well that's nice!"

-That's just how people speak.
-And then we pass a second-hand store

They have a Scrooge McDuck money-box

And you go:
"Look! I had one of those as I child!"

Talk about proportions!
Your money-box to my family tragedy!

-You have no shame!
-I was very happy for that money-box!

And I've heard about it more than once now!

We should take some time to
think things through at the boarding house.

As long as we get there
everything should be fine.

-I've packed all my toys.
-That's nice.

Can I come in?

What is it? Oh, mom!

Okay, as long as I don't have to
deal with Dad.

He'd lecture me about holiday packing.

"All the big clothes at the bottom"
Or else it's the end of the world as he knows it.

He means well. He's been having a rough time lately.

He applied for the post as production manager,
but they went for some outsider.

Institute for Social Studies.
Sounds nice?

-Frankly It sounds boring!
-It's really very exciting!

Take the report I'm reading now.

They're investigating the effect
in-between-meals have on school-children.

It's conclusive to future development
of our schools.

Give it a break! You're just like Dad.

-Kalle! Hurry up!
-Could you take that.

Maybe we should put up a sign for
the burglars: "Take it"

-No you won't.
-We'll look after the house.

-How's the sauna coming?
-Peachy. One unit left.

Then we'll have you over for the initiation

Heart failiure is the most common cause
of death among men my age.

-At least in Finland.
-Oh, probably...

-Has Viktor learned how to read yet?
-He finds it difficult.

So does the King.

-He's somewhat quiet in class.
-Are you shy?

-He's a Daddy's boy.
-Really? Where did he go?

-Viktor, come on now! Viktor!
-Coming...!

Bye, Britt! Bye, Bertil!

Come on now, Rune. They want to get by.

No. It's a 90-way, and we're going 90!

-I have to pee!
-You'll pee when we get there.

-It's all your fault!
-No, it's your fault, Lotta.

-Dad, I have to pee!
-In a moment.

Look at that lunatic.
Watch out now!

You shouldn't drive like that!
What a lunatic.

You going to the cabin?
I can take your bags for you.

-It won't be necessery.
-That's nice of you.

Not a good idea to start your holidays
with back pains.

Oh, you have a rat!

Hey fellow, any room for this?
Easy, there's medicin in it!

One should handle medicin with care.

Keep up with me! Come on.

-Hey!
-I'm coming.

-Good day. Your name please?
-Runeberg. Like the poet.

''High above the mountains of Saarijarvi...''
No, we're not related.

-Your cabin has almost sea view.
-That peachy, ain't it?

It's self-catering. The store is open till 21 every day.

Or evening... Excuse me.

Oskar's Boarding House. Please hold. Thank you.

There's a supermarket a few miles that way.

You've already met Petrus...

There is a TV, a telephone...

Showers run on quarters, so make sure
you have a lot of change.

You're responsible for cleaning your cabin.

I want them back in the same good shape.

There has been some negligence in the past, you see.

What do I get if I make a 25?
That's very hard to do.

-You can have a Boom.
-Disgusting! I want a Tip Top.

No way. Hey you! You think
this guy is worthy of a Tip Top?

I don't know...

-Lotta, you're so clumsy!
-No problem at all.

-So you think he's worthy of a Tip Top?
-I don't know. Maybe.

Hey there. Excuse me...

Excuse me. I've been meaning to ask...

-Is it Runeberg?
-Right! Like the poet!

-Is that your Dad?
-No.

-Yes it is.
-Shut up, you turd!

-Want to play mini golf?
-Okay.

-''...he awaited the crops.''
-We're not related.

"And shared his bread with his
wife and child."

''Dug ditches and plought the land
to sow new."

-Wonderful, ain't it?
-We're really not realted.

Beautiful! Truly beautiful!

He comes here in his morning gown
to buy condoms.

-I don't understand why? He's always alone.
-Oh...

-Here's your key.
-Oh. Nice, nice. Number seven...

-I left your things and number seven.
-What a cute mouse!

It's not a mouse. It's a rat.
Not very tame either.

What have I told you! I don't want
to see the rat in here!

-I was just gonna talk to Mona.
-Take the rat out of here!

Get off the lanes! Off the lanes!
Keep your kids off the lanes!

-If I see them on the lanes...
-No problem! Everything will be fine.

-Get the kid off the lane!
-Lotta, you're coming with us.

-You're in cabin seven!
-Cabin seven, that's right!

Lotta! Lotta, you too!

-There's out bagage.
-And there's number seven.

-Oh... It ain't that big.
-Ain't big, but expensive.

-Mom, can I sleep here?
-No, there are two beds there.

You want me to sleep with that turd?

Gunnel, come and see! Look!

-They have freezer compartment!
-Rune, please...

Viktor! Come here! Want to see the sea?

-See the sea? Over there!
-I don't see anything.

I don't think one could define me as fat,
what do you think, Gunnel?

Not fat, but... I'm not thin either.
But I'm definitly not fat.

-Where is Lotta?
-With some guys.

-Aha...! A holiday romance!
-Dad...!

Rune, please. I'm trying to relax.

Dad!

lngrid? lngrid? lngrid!

-What?
-Don't sing.

Did I sing? I'm sorry. My fault.

-Can we go swimming?
-Yes I want to swim!!

Has it been a half-hour yet?
No, one minute left.

-We only ate ice-cream.
-No swimming before a half-hour has passed!

You could get cramps. You'll be safe soon.
Ready?

I'll show them swimming.

Gunnel, take my watch.
Sisti is a dork!

No splashing! No splashing!
It's not funny anymore.

Damn it's cold. No splashing.
Think of daddy's heart.

Think of dad's heart!

-Be careful, you might get burned.
-Oh...

The sun is very strong around here.

Don't let the wind fool you before
it's too late.

-How about you?
-I've become immune.

You won't see it coming before
it's too late.

-How long have you been married?
-What's it to you?

I'd like to be left alone.

Don't get mad. It's not my fault
you don't love him anyomre.

Oh...

Now ain't that's peachy?

I'm so happy here. Aren't you happy, Gunnel?

Hon? Aren't you happy here?

-I could always ask Dagmar...
-About if you're happy here?

No, about if she wants to come to the institute.
I must have a secretary.

She doesen't know the whole programme-

but she knows my routines.

Let's have a nice holiday now instead.

-I'll ask Dagmar.
-Never mind that now. Let's enjoy ourselves.

You know what I was thinking?

I could have a working desk in the living room.

Then I could bring the work home when needed.

There'll probably be a lot of late hours.

I can sense this will be a top holiday.
A top holiday!

There's your top holiday.

Oh no. What a shitty weather.
Can't even play mini golf.

Out of my way, Moscovites! No such thing as a bad weather,
only bad clothing.

-You're not gonna go swimming in this weather?
-There's possibility of thunder!

-Enjoy yourself, Rune!
-Don't get too wet.

-Morning! What a lively place.
-Yes. Excuse me. I'm working.

What in the whole world?

Hey you...

Hey you!

Listen...

Who do you think you are?

In a public place! Running around and...running.

Think of the children.
Have you been smoking pot or something?

This is crazy! In a thunderstorm...
If you get struck by lightning you'll die.

Wasn't thinking about that. The water
is so hot during rain.

What do you think is going to happen
if you don't think things through?

Look at you, shivering and all.
We gotta get you inside.

Welcome to my place.

You want a shot?

-You're not old enough to be drinking?
-Get your heat up.

These clothes are full of sand. You'll need to wash those.

Want to see a trick?

Look carefully now.

-You with me?
-Sure.

-You could make money doing that.
-Okay...

But...what do we got here?

-Is it cancer?
-Don't say that!

Is it a shrunken heart?

No, it's a bunny.

But it is dead.

-Can I have my wallet back?
-God, you're so dull.

How does your wife put up with you?

-Have you taken anything else?
-You'll find out in time.

Maybe it wasn't a little bunny I stole from your chest.

It's stop raining.

Don't you know it's dangerous
to play with fire like that?

What am i suppose to do when I'm cold?

Besides it's not true when they say
'once bitten, twice shy'

You're drawn to fire like flies are to light.

''If you come close you'll be burned again..."

''And yet you come close''

You see, I remember.

You must close it gently.

-Where were you?
-I took a walk.

-Where's your raincoat?
-I forgot it...at the cafeteria.

-We're going there for lunch.
-How nice.

You can go ahead, I forgot something else.

Petrus? Petrus!

-There you are. Where've you been?
-My raincoat? Where did you find it?

-Here. You forgot it here.
-Of course, silly me.

-What is it?
-Nothing.

-I don't like potato salad.
-But it's good.

-Mom, you know I don't like...
-You usually like potato salad.

All the talk about it being too fat. It's good either way.

-Don't say the food is disgusting, Kalle!
-Drink it all down, or you'll dry out.

-They must have repainted everything.
-For the first time since the war.

-What war?
-Boer war.

-What beautiful flowers.
-It's all plastic.

You're making it look like a real meal.

Aren't they cute? Hj�rdis and Evelyn.
They're here every year for three weeks.

Are they homosexual?

Just a tiny bit.

-Kalle! Don't talk like that!
-But are they?

-Where did he get that from?
-He must have seen it on TV.

-It's not my fault!
-Settle down. Around here we're all normal.

Dad, you look like a pig
and pigs don't play soccer.

Ha! Goal ahead.

No you can't use your hands!

You can't drive like that, don't you
see we're playing soccer here?

I'm gonna talk with the manager about you!

Driving like that. That's dangerous!

Honey? Be honest, do you think I should
have more hair on my chest?

Don't you think so?

If I wanted something hairy I wouldn't
have married you, I would get a dog.

-I'm getting fat and ugly...
-You're grand and handsome.

You were a little too thin before.
You look more manly now.

Don't you think I'm just a little too much?

-What are you worrying about?
-No I was just thinking...

-You're fine the way you are.
-Mom, could I have a glass of water?

I'm coming, Kalle.

I'll take an evening walk.

It might do you good. Yes I'm coming.
What is it?

You've got water here, Kalle.
Here it is.

-Mom? Where does the space end?
-Where space ends?

What can I tell you...

You could say the space ends where it begins.

It's like, space is infinite and starts
and ends at the same time and place.

If you imagine space as a circle...

An infinity. Space being infinite...

-FYou understand?
-A little.

Yes...

I can't tell you much about it.

-Hi.
-Hi.

-I have work to do.
-A lot to do, I see.

Did you want something?

That trick you did with my wallet,
it was really something.

I got a little surprised you see.
I wasn't mad or anything.

Could you teach me that trick you did with
the penny, I'd like to show it to my kids.

It would be fun. Then I could...

Aj, aj!

Don't sweep that dirty water around!
I told you a milion times.

-Nice weather!
-A little too hot.

-We really enjoy the sun.
-Yes, I have to clean this.

You hire these kids who want to
earn a little during the summer-

-but they all seem reatarded.

They only fill the bottom of the bucket
with water.

Then they stand sweep the shit around
for hours.

Then they think they've done a good days job.
No, if you want it done you have to do it yourself.

Excuse me, are you talking about immigrants?

I wonder if we have the freedom of speech
in this land of ours?

-Immigrants are always treated with silk gloves.
-Say something.

-My wife is a Finland-Swede.
-We can't even speak openly...

We aren't allowed to say anything
about the mass-immigration.

They're breeding like rats.

How can they afford to come here?
That I ask you.

I can't even afford to go anywhere!

I live by the airfield. I would be
the first to die in case of war.

Why can't they go to their own countries
and serve there?

We can't afford the child care,
healt care...

-A big fat scandal! That's what it is.
-My hand slipped.

-An accident!
-And you just stood there!

-Yes, you just stood there!
-You stood as much as I!

Don't blame it on me. I stood at the other
end of the store.

I don't know if all this is some
big joke!

Maybe one should laugh. Ha!

It's not fair. You stood by as much as I did.

You're so grumpy.

At least look me in the eyes.
There. Now that's done.

-Who's not trying to be happy?
-You, you, you!

I'm jolly happy! I'm so happy I
don't even know my name.

-You're a real bitch!
-So are you.

Can we pay? Look what we've done.

That's the way it is during holidays.
All the feeling rushing around.

-Same thing every year.
-Same thing?

-Could we have this on credit?
-No, not credit!

They charge extra.

You can come out now. It's nothing to be afraid of.

That's what they say at the health centre
when they're taking a blood sample.

And it always hurts.

-Want to see a trick?
-Yes.

That hand.

One more time.

There!

-I said there!
-No, don't do that.

-You're not suppose to point your finger.
-But it's there!

-You're a cheat!
-I'm not. Viktor!

-Daddy is dead.
-Can I play minigolf?

-Let's bury him tomorrow.
-I'll go if I can play minigolf.

-I want to play minigolf too.
-You can't.

-What was Dad's name?
-Rune. You know that.

What are you thinking?

Nothing.

As usual.

It's for you. You like the color?

-For me?
-Mmm.

Even though it's not my birthday?
You're so kind.

I can be kind every once in a while.

-Yes you can?
-Yes I can.

How would I do without you guys.
I'm the happiest man in the world.

-Mom! Dad!
-Kids!

-How do you think you came to this world?
-A stork left us at your front door.

Here you are. The perfect family.

A picture perfect family.

I just have to take a picture!

-No, I don't look my best.
-You do, you're very pretty.

Your husband and I have the same sense
of humor.

I was like him when I was his age.

You'll have to stand up. Let's make this a group photo.

Is Kalle here? Kalle, come here.

-The Runebergs!
-That's right.

-Hello.
-Hello.

Cheese. Yes...

If I could get your address I'll send
you a copy.

They got this new thing...
It only takes an hour to develope.

You're staring at me. Why?
There's no reason to stare.

-You're so strange.
-No, you're the strange one.

You've been very, very strange lately.

Stop staring at me! You Goddamn excuse for
a human being!

Where's Daddy going?

Hj�rdis, he's done it again.
Let's see what you got.

-Briliant!
-Petrus is gonna be a magician!

-What do you want to be?
-I'm a little old for that.

Nonsense, he's still a child.

-I'm gonna be a widow-empress.
-I'm gonna be a little drunk.

Actor.

Actor. I'd like to be an actor.

-What?
-I was accepted into the school of Dramatic Arts.

But as it seems...

I had halv a year left at the
Technical University.

I thought I could apply to the
School of Dramatic Arts an other time.

Otherwise the four years at the university
would have been a waste of time.

That's what I thought at the time.

-My, my...
-Poor guy.

-Rune, you coming?
-Dad, we're having dinner.

See you.

-Wanna go for a swim later?
-I don't know.

-I'm here if you change your mind.
-Okay. Bye.

-Stop that. It's your turn.
-No, it's your turn!

-Can't we have a little peace and quite at the table?
-Can we play minigolf later?

-It's up to me.
-But Lotta gets to play.

I get to decide that. We can't afford to
play every day.

But Lotta gets to play every day,
you old fart!

Lotta has played more than Kalle.

They could be a little grateful.
I am renting this cabin after all.

-We have to be fair.
-Yes, that would be nice.

It's not that expensive.

I'm gonna chew with my mouth open
till I get to play minigolf.

Close your mouth or you'll be excused
from the table!

Shut you mouth!

That's just great. Let's give Kalle a hand for
getting us into trouble again.

-We're gonna all play minigolf.
-Dork.

You're only allowed eight games
per lane! You hear!

These lanes are becoming
quite an inconvenience.

-I always have to look across my shoulder.
-They're going to bed now anyway.

Eight games, you hear!
You've had least seven now!

-But Lotta gets to stay.
-Lotta is two years older than you!

Besides I think Lotta whats to be
alone with her boyfriend.

-It's so cold.
-It was nice.

-That's what I meant, but also nice.
-Yes, pretty cold.

-It's getting a little chilly.
-I'm off tomorrow.

Are you as strong as you appear to be?

-Feel it!
-No...

As for myself, I'm getting fat and all...

Both me and my wife. We've lost our bodies.

We're that age. The butt is hanging,
the stomach is hanging, the breasts...

Yet we're supposed to find eachother attractive.
It's funny that way...

-Gunnel was very beautiful when she was young.
-She still is.

Sure we make love and all, but...

I have nothing to do tommorrow,
I can show you around if you want.

Yeah... I don't know. No, I don't think so.

Who of us is taller?

-You're taller. But that's okay.
-Who are you really?

I'm a magician.

Damn bugs! Sure you wanna to that?

-Yes. I think so.
-But you can't lay your cards like that!

Oh... I'm sorry, my fault.

-You can take them back, dear.
-But now you've seen her cards!

-What difference does it make?
-Now we lose thanks to Ingrid!

-Hope you're happy, lngrid.
-I'm sorry. It was my fault.

Let's keep playing.

You must beware. It's a trap.

This is all it amounts to.

It goes for Gunnel too.

I say that I'm the happiest man in the world-

-and I hope God hears how fast I regret those words.

I fear he might punish my ungratefulness
with cancer.

Fucking hell...

I'd like to know what the point is anyway.

I'm rushing through life like
a goddamn...Japanese tourist.

"Seize the day, buy a camera, fast!"

"Develope the pictures"

"This was your life!"

Open your mouth.

I'll show you a trick.

-Mom, daddy is not feeling good.
-That's okay. I'm feeling peachy.

-That's okay, Viktor. Go back to sleep.
-But he won't stop!

What's going on with me?
What's going on with me?

Where in hell is the pricetagger?

-Hi.
-You know that young man...

Mona, have you seen the pricetagger?
The date is expiring on this one.

-We'll sell it at half price then?
-No I thought I would stamp across...

Oh my! There's nothing wrong with this.

The C vitamines might have lost their effect,
but what the hell, it's summertime.

-I saw the pricetagger outside.
-Thanks.

-You want condoms?
-No, no, no.

-The young man, is he here?
-Petrus! You've got company.

Petrus!

-Hi, Rune. Thansk fro yesterday
-I'd like to talk to you about something.

Now you listen good!

What are you doing to me? I can't eat,
I can't sleep, I can't drink...

-You're pregnant.
-Don't fool around.

Oh, my fault. I thought this was
the ladies room.

I was just... Well... Pardon me.

-Hear what I'm saying? Come in here.
-You're in some kind of a mid-life crisis.

-I must go back to work.
-I don't want to.

I can't always be with you.
I've promised Gunnel.

-Oh, hello...
-Hi there, Hj�rdis.

-Quite a crowd in here.
-Seems to be a housing shortage.

Excuse me. I just wanted to say
that you can trust me.

-How do you mean?
-Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm going down to Gunnel and
everything is as always.

This will come to nothing.
This must come to nothing.

Nothing has happened, nothing will happen.
Nothing will ever happen.

Good morning. Good morning!

-Hello! Hi!
-Hi...

I forgot to tell you I have made
a promise I would go fishing with someone.

-What? What time is it?
-I know it sounds a little nuts, right.

But you have your job and the boys
can play minigolf...

-You shower to go fishing?
-Can I come too?

You were gone the last few days too.
What kind of vacation is this?

-Can I come too?
-No, you'd just be bored.

-Please Dad!
-Why can't he come?

You'd have to be quiet and all...

-Who're you fishing with?
-What's his name?

-Not the man in the morning gown?
-No, not him.

The young man with the bike.
He's gonna show me some fishing spots.

So you have to shower for that?
And Viktor can't come along?

Why do I always have to be questioned
in this family? Why?

-Go then! Go fishing!
-I'm going, I am!

Daddy doesen't want to be with us
but with his fishing buddy.

We'll have to entertain ourselves.

-Dad?
-What?

Happy fishing.

Let's try this now. Pick any card.

Yes, I've seen it now.

Put it back any random place...

-Yes...
-And... You mix 'em...

-Hokus...pokus...
-You must distract the audience.

"Some good looking pants you got there",
and so on.

Don't forget to distract the audience.

I've never felt this way i my entire life.

That's a nice thing to say.

And surpsirse, surprise... This is your card!

It's eight of diamonds.
You'll have to do it again.

But you were good at distracting your
audience.

-Okay. You remember your card?
-Mmm.

-This one.
-You're out of your mind.

-There was a time when they burned people like you.
-I know.

-You lost your husband I see.
-Yes, he'l be back soon.

So I guess the time is right
for me to make a move.

It's not the stick that's dangerous,
it's the bag-

It's not the sausage that makes you fat,
it's the sauce!

My husband is on his way. He was just
going to get his sun glasses.

-Is Kalle allowed to go that far?
-He most certainly isn't. Kalle, come back!

Help me out here. Kalle! Kalle!

What's going on here? Get lost!

-Our chicken!
-Bad! Bad!

Here you go, my lovely.
If you excuse me...

-Mom, I'm very hungry.
-Hush! Viktor, Kalle...

Mommy is having a nervous breakdown, you see.

Mommy is going to lay down now because
mommy is on vacation.

At least enjoy the sun.

-Don't stand on the lane, you moron.
-Mom, Kalle hit me.

Don't hit Viktor with the club, Kalle.

-Hi.
-Hi.

Wait a minute.

-Where's my husband?
-I had to work.

You don't think it's strange I should
ask you about my husband's whereabouts?

Kalle, don't hit Viktor with the club.
I told you already!

-How was fishing?
-Fishing?

Yes, you'd at least need a casting rod
to go fishing, but you don't see any.

-What have you been up to all day?
-You really wanna know?

-I don't know.
-I've invited Rune for dinner.

Really? Well that's too bad since
Rune is having dinner with his family.

Rune is a father of three children,
you see-

-and he is entitled to some quality time with them.

If you absolutely must have dinner with him
you're welcome to join us.

I don't think I will.

-Well ain't that pity.
-Mom, he hit me again!

Hit him back then, you stupid kid.
You have a club too don't you?

You're not going anywhere.
I bought shrimps.

-But I've promised.
-That janitor again?

-What about us then?
-It's just for a short while.

Rune, please. We are celebrating.

Cozy it up a little bit, you know.
You and I.

Dad? If we're having shrimps you're
eating the heads.

-Otherwise it's a waste.
-And wine. I've bought wine.

Go then! I'll drink the damn thing
alone.

I don't know what you think you're doing,
but you're playing with fire.

-So what am I suppose to do when I'm cold?
-You think I'm not cold?

I'm cold as hell!

Go then!

-Where is he?
-Day? He's gone.

Petrus?

Come here, I'll make your life disappear
so that nothing will ever be the same again!

-I thought we were gonna have dinner?
-Right! Give me your cap.

Genius, mad man, God
Naked heart, naken skin

I am hunger, I'm a force,
the blood you never had

Goddamn grandma' up in heaven!

Aj!

-Get Petrus.
-It's his day off.

I don't care. An emergency is
an emergency.

That was unneccesery, wasn't it?

Quite the opposite.

-What are we doing?
-Who knows.

-This is insane.
-Insane...

-Insane...
-Insane...

Are you in there? Petrus?

-Go away!
-What are you doing?

-I'm coming in now.
-Go away! I want to be alone!

Then I'll open it myself.

One, two, three

-What is going on here?
-I want you to go!

A window broke. Would you mind...

And what is that there?

-I must have nodded off for a moment.
-Oh I'm sorry...

Well hi there. The air so thick out here.

I had myself a little nap.

Oh look at the time.

I should go back to my place now.
It's not what you think it is.

As I said... It's getting late.

I'll deal with you later, young man!
Goddamn...

Goddamn!

I can't take this anymore. I'm sick.
We have to go home!

Yesterday was scary. Very scary.

Did you see the look on his face?

What have you done this morning?
I played minigolf - alone.

Made some new records on the lane.

We're going back home today.

''Guinness Book of Records''...
You know...

There was a man who took his own life
by drilling holes in his head.

You know how many holes he made?
Twenty holes!

But one never knows if these
things are true.

I just wanted to say goodbye.

Why?

Funny you should ask.
You should know.

Is it because of me?

-I'm married.
-I know.

-I have three kids.
-I know.

-I'm twenty years older than you.
-Twenty-five.

-You don't really want your life.
-I don't?

No, maybe not.

It's difficult to change if you don't
know what to change.

what about me?

You'll be fine. You're young.

I know you think I'm a coward.

-But that's not a crime.
-Yes it is.

-I'm leaving now.
-Bye.

You'll live to regret for the rest
of your life.

Lotta? Have you packed your bag?
You haven't packed a thing!

-No because I'm staying.
-We have to go.

You've met Jonas, it feels good
and you're in love...

You are so stupid!
Mean and unfair!

We have to go home. I know it's difficult.

But if he is your true love...
You can always write to eachother.

It's not the same!

You meet a lot of intresting
boys and get then married.

-Lotta, we don't have to argue!
-I've never experienced this before!

Well, I have never experienced
it before either!

You'll pack your bag and then we're off!
Move it!

No, I will remain in this chair!

-Morning.
-You're cleaning I see.

Funny how you throw all the junk out
and then drag it back in.

One should throw everything away.

Or burn it. It'd be some bonfire.

Bonfires are always beautiful.
Like controlled chaos.

Are they?

Some guests are leaving us today.

So you're leaving? Too bad.
Did you have fun?

We sure did. It's my husband,
he is...allergic.

-He's a little allergic.
-Pay the man and we'll be on our way.

I've checked the cleaning. If all
our guests were like you...

-...we wouldn't have any troubles.
-You do your best, you know.

-You really have to go?
-I do.

-Promise you'll write?
-If you promise you will...

I've already started on a letter.

-I have to go now.
-Wait.

What is it?

-Forget it...
-Okay.

-Lotta? You coming?
-Wait.

Thank you for everything.

-Sorry the janitor couldn't come.
-No problem, we're take our bags.

-Rune...
-Coming.

You're on a lookout. But us who are
truly looking for someone-

-will never find anything true
to ourselves.

Our lives are figments of imagination.

We fly around like fireflies till
our lights diminish and we fall to the ground.

We try to live a decent life.

Some of us more happy than the others.

Sometimes we meet people who last-

-and build them a little nest
in our hearts-

-and become their guardian angels-

and pray for them.

Britt! Britt! Weren't you suppose
to be away for another week?

You know how these things go...

-What's happened?
-Rune had one of his fits.

Men are only good for one thing,
and not very good at that either.

Stop fighting, Kalle! Why do you always
have to do this?

-Do you have to watch TV, first thing you do?
-I'm not talking to you.

-Change the channel.
-No.

-And here's the sauna.
-How nice. You must be very happy.

Rune wanted it. It's good for drying clothes.

I've forgotten to defrost the shrimps.

We're gonna have a cosy evening.

I'll have to make the best of it
while they're still young.

More coffee? The new job has made
things more stressful around here.

Viktor gets caught in between.

One always feels bad for the kids.

To Lotta I'm just another "bitch".

You know what she actually called me?
A "cunt".

Really, where do you set the line?
One shouldn't have to be called a cunt.

You know what they say, "Being one and
having one are two different hings."

This is a nice picture. Taken this summer?

Yes, it's taken at the beach.
A man who lives there took it.

An unpleasant type, if I may add.

Why are you so mad at Rune?

I'm not mad... Well you know...

It doesen't matter. It's not a very good picture.

No, fact is we're...
We're good now.

There was little...
Little of that this summer, but...

Now everything is just...great.

Or how do I put it? We are...

We're good now.

It's bearable, you mean.

Dad? I can't sleep.

-Neither can I.
-You're suppose to tell me about Little Bunny.

-He can't sleep either?
-You're doing it all wrong.

"Can't you sleep? I know about
the little bunny"

"He goes to sleep every night
with the long ear against his cheek."

Have you forgotten?

What am I suppose to say? "We can't
have it this way anymore"?

I have to say that.

I've met someone else.

Wash your hands and come to eat.
Oh it's you, honey.

You can wash up too...

What's the matter? You look so strange.

Take of your coat and sit down
at the table.

I've met someone else.

Don't you hear what I'm saying?
I've met someone else.

Oh...

-Who is she?
-He.

What are you saying?

That's... That's ridicilous.
You telling me...

-You have to try to understand...
-I don't have to anything!

I don't understand it myself.
I have to go now.

You throwing me off like
a used glove?

I don't know much about love yet.
I have to go now.

You can't do this!

You can't! The dinner is ready!

Let's not talk about this. Let's eat.

Would you call the kids?

Kalle, Viktor, Lotta! Dinner time!

Dinner time! Food!

-Rune!
-Dad!

Rune, come back!
Rune, come back!

Mom? Where is Viktor and Dad?

Dad? He...he's maybe in the sauna.

No, I'm just kidding.
Kalle, don't to that!

Dad and Viktor left in the car.
I don't know, they're maybe at the movies.

I'm not gonna tell you again!

I thought we could have a cosy evening.

-More shrimps?
-No, I don't want any.

Dad'll probably be back soon.
Let's listen for the car engine.

Kalle! Don't use your pants,
use the napkin!

-Cheers.
-Cheers.

Mom, what are you doing?

Everything is fine, Kalle.

Mom is just burning some old rubbish.

Where is he?

You gave me a startle!
Runeberg, is it?

Petrus, the magician. Where is he?

Oh, him? That little rat!
He left long time ago.

He left us the day after you left.

If I ever get hold of him I'll
learn him about a thing or two.

Hey, we're closed here!

Where are you going?

Dad?

Dad!

Dad!

Dad! Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Dad? Stop it, Dad!

Don't you know it's dangerous to
bathe in the rain?

I wasn't thinking of that. The water
is so warm when it's raining.

You usually say it's insane.

It is insane...and liberating.

What I sought for, what I found
What I lost, what I won

What I dreamt of
To dare one day

A hunger, a force
A courage I never had

And a moment of strenght

I dread my tomorrow
And regret my yesterdays

While the fire is burning
by the Ocean

I drew in the sand
but the waves came

and rinsed in over the beach

Who I sought for, Who I found
Who I lost and who I won

Was myself
