POHJOLA-FILMI PRESENTS

This will be the hall.

Here's the kitchen.

The living room. And an extra bedroom.

The master bedroom upstairs has a view of the lake.

The price is really good.

Because this is in the middle of nowhere. - No, they're in a hurry.

Big house project, small kids. Divorce.

This would be perfect for us.

I love you.

We're going to be late for the party. I'm sure she has a schedule.

Hi! Lovely! Come on in.

Hi.

Champagne.

URBAN FAMILY

Everything, everything is suddenly possible

Enough years I have behind me

I could be someone else now

I could be someone else now

I could make my life whole

Everything, everything is possible after all

Enough years I have ahead of me

If I could, I'd destroy everything

If I could, I'd destroy everything

And no one would know the dream was a lie

Give me a moment It all went by so very fast

Another moment Unfinished things

I'll do one last round

This is not how I'll live just yet

Be quiet a moment Don't tell me

How you've died inside

What's with the humming? - I'm bored as hell

Oh. - What?

I was hoping the gang would still be up.

I'm not tired at all.

We know a thing or two ourselves. - What?

What are you doing?

What's the matter with her? She needs help. - Tomi, shut up.

Holy cock-sucking motherfucking shit!

What happened? Are you hurt?

Things fall apart. You can't sleep here. I can't take this!

People fuck all night.

- Your boyfriend showers at 5 a.m. - He had a business trip.

I don't care! I care about sleep. And look at this.

They haven't canceled the debt collection.

How am I going to pay for this?

We'll figure something out.

What were you thinking of making?

I want pancakes.

If other people are having sex, I want pancakes.

Henri.

Tomi has decided to buy a house.

Okay. Where?

Somewhere far away. What's the name... Bodom or Niipperi...

You can't move there. My whole life is here.

I can't move to Niipperi. - Can't you stay here?

No room for Henri in the engineer's house? - Sure.

Tomi loves you. - Selja, seriously.

I don't want you to move there and become a scatterbrain. - What?

Like my mom. She can't even keep up with the plot in a film.

"Why are they speaking German?' "Because it's a German film, Mom.'

- Tomi wants to move "forward". - The backwoods is not "forward".

Will you miss me?

You can catch herpes by kissing.

Lisa, what have we discussed in regard to screaming at night?

"Don't bring sex partners home -

if he or she has a place of his or her own." - He doesn't.

You picked up a homeless guy? - He's married.

Lisa, I'm sure you... - It's sweet that you're worried.

But he's just so perfect.

Did [tell you he's a dancer? - Yes, you did.

You both have the world's worst taste in men.

Yours is too flexible. And yours is way too stiff.

Your men, on the other hand, are... invisible.

So, you're going to abandon me for some engineer.

Henri, I'd never abandon you.

I don't want to live a single day without you.

My bags are packed The door is opened

To make your mark you have to face the world

Warm my heart grows Cool my skin goes

Standing in the driveway Raindrops running down my nose

The sun is just a little ball up in the sky so blue

I look like a great man when I'm beside you

Make way for me

Hi.

The last time we met, you said I could come visit-

if I'm around.

Summer vacation started today.

I thought you'd like flowers. I mean, I don't need them.

I know it was a pretty long time ago when you said I could visit.

I probably should've let you know beforehand.

You've grown so much.

What am I doing...

Come on in.

You live by yourself? - What? No.

I have two roommates. - Oh, that's nice.

Nice house rules. - Sorry, but I have to ask you why...

I was going to kick off summer vacation with a friend, -

but he canceled. I was already here.

So I decided to drop by.

Fuck. - Selja, I stink so bad.

Our queer tree hugger friend said coconut oil is a good deodorant.

- It's not. - Iisa, we have guests.

- So I see. Iisa, roommate. - Leo.

Leo is from Viiala. I know his parents.

It was really nice of you to come. Seriously.

I actually need a place to stay for the night. - Sure.

We have a guest mattress, the one Henri didn't want us to buy.

"If they're tired enough, they'll sleep on the floor!"

I don't know if it'll work out. Henri's gig is tonight.

Leo can come with us. Would you like to'! - Sure.

The age limit is probably twenty.

And you were going out with your friends, right? - No.

C'mon, we've all been to bars underaged.

How old are you? Seventeen? - Yeah. Almost.

You're not almost seventeen.

No. That's right. You are. - I'll go take a shower.

I'm sorry. I haven't told her. - That's okay.

Thanks for letting me stay the night. - But why...

it was my parents' idea. I'm starting high school here in the fall.

You could show me around. - Which school?

The International Baccalaureate program at SYK. - Wow.

Is everything okay? You sound a bit strange.

I'm just a little tired.

You sure? - Yeah, I'm fine.

Okay. See you tomorrow then. - Kiss.

Is this... my father?

That's Henri, my roommate. - Oh.

You have any photos of him? I'd like to know what he looked like.

I don't think I do.

- Should we get going? - Is it that late already?

Okay, I'll get ready.

Alright.

Are those Henri's clothes? - I had to make him look older.

So, long live recycling, socialism - and revenge!

I do everything right I do the impossible

Only my heart and I decide who comes with me tonight

I'm the hottest cat on the roof

And I have all my friends on my mind, on my mind

Because I know that for us everything is possible

I know everything is possible

You might not know what you want, but baby, don't worry

You'll feel it when you find it Hold onto it

Sometimes it feels like I don't know what it's all about

I forget what's important, what's key

The motion stops I can't break free

Worries aside I'll get on the table and dance

I've got a new dress on I'm ready to play

I remember that for us everything is possible

I remember everything is possible

You might not know what you want, but baby, don't worry

You'll feel it when you find it Hold onto it

Pretend you're my boyfriend, and the bouncer will think you're 18.

HOW?

Our names should be on the guest list.

- Henri's friends, Selja and Iisa. - Yeah. What about...

We can bring dates, right?

How mad would your mom be -

if she found out I brought you to a bar'! - Well...

Maybe we won't tell her. - Hi!

So, what do you want to drink? I mean, what soda?

Where's the fun in going to a bar if you're only gonna drink soda?

Anything goes.

I'll give you some.

Waiting for the godfather to arrive

Loyalty points help us survive

We launder money, fresh and new

Choices, we only have but two

'Henri, starve to death, don't moan'

Consumer freedom is our very own

In every fucking village, everything remains

The same stores, the same grains

Let's break the supermarket chains

S and K don't respect the law They make sky-high profits

S and K don't respect the law

They play dirty to watch their profits soar

There are two fucking mafias here in Finland

I'll go to the bar.

Foreign retailers have but one fate

A snake waiting at the gate

And a gray gorilla from the cartel

The Competition and Consumer Authority will never tell

S and K don't respect the law

I loved it! I can't remember the last time I danced like that.

But the party doesn't end here.

Greetings from the backstage. - Where are we going?

The one and only place for kicking summer off is...

...Hietsu Beach.

Is he...? - Yes.

He looks so much like him. - I know.

How...? Why...?

He just dropped by. Iisa doesn't know, by the way.

- Wait a minute. Is that my shirt? - Iisa gave it to him.

Who gave you permission? - Leo, Selja, help...

You need to go to bed? I mean, just say if you're tired...

Tired? C'mon. Leo. Beautiful Leo.

Come with Uncle Henri. I'll give you a unique urban experience.

I've missed nights like these.

If you had one wish, what would it be'!

Any wish. - I would wish for Markus to leave his wife.

That's a totally shitty wish.

For once, it would be nice to have a normal relationship -

with someone who'd like to be seen in public with me.

Romantic love is the opium of the masses.

I would wish -

for people to start taking care of things that really matter.

Like?

Climate change, inequality and environmental disasters...

Why can't it always be like this? - It would always be summer.

We'd always have a campfire and be a little drunk.

We'd always be young.

I think it was always winter when I was young.

Leopold.

What's your wish?

School's out; you have your whole life ahead of you.

I have a five-year-plan.

First the IB program at SYK High School, then TUTA.

What's TUTA? - industrial Engineering and Management.

An incubator for major pricks who wear too much aftershave.

Sounds sexual. - You don't understand. They have no soul!

Their eyes light up whenever they see a Porsche or Lamborghini.

No, my goal is to be able to afford the life I want to live at 25.

Shouldn't there be a little idealism in a person your age?

A desire to save the world?

You're enslaving yourself to money. What are you going to do with it?

Henri doesn't know because he has none. - Shut up.

When I have money, I'll realize all my dreams.

And I won't have to wonder if I can afford them.

Oh, Leopold.

None of us has a lot of money, but we're living the life we want.

What? - You can't be serious.

Don't you want something more? - More?

We're in the center of everything But nothing is in our way

We'll tear it down and build it up, make it better

No matter what they say

Falling free But I'll hold onto you

And no matter what This is what we'll always do

We'll go everywhere

They'll stare at us, but that won't last

Once we're moving forward, we'll be moving too fast

We're flying so high Not even a magician could get to us

And whatever will be, will be

Today we'll raise our glasses

We'll live life to the fullest Living the dream

We will reign supreme

We'll be so free to do what we want

We'll hold hands so tightly and run till the sun rises

Breathing in sync, you and I

With the power of thought we'll fly

We're rewriting history and creating something new

It's your life, only you can decide what to make of this ride

Hold me tight, don't let me lose you as we soar even higher

And together we'll fly

Today we'll write a brand-new story

We'll toast to our glory

We're so very free

We'll do what we want

We'll hold hands so tightly and run wild

Breathing in sync, you and I

With the power of thought we'll fly

We can do what we want

We can do what we want

You have the best life in the world.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

Morning.

I thought I locked... - The lock is broken.

Oh.

What is it? - I thought I'd call, since we haven't heard from you.

Everyone is asleep here.

I said I'd come back on Monday or Tuesday.

Oh. - Yeah, Niko's parents said I can stay longer.

I have to go now. Bye.

Morning.

What's the deal with the food in the refrigerator?

They have dates on them. - That's when they were dumpster-dived.

Why did you come here?

I want to get to know my biological mom, of course.

Is it part of your five-year plan?

Are Niko's parents also part of it?

Please don't tell Selja.

Did you puke on my shirt? What the hell? - I can wash it.

You ate some factory-farmed crap -

and puked it on my "Meat Is Murder' shirt. Wash it.

In 40 degrees. And use laundry soapnuts!

You talk so much shit when you're hungover.

Why are you never hungover?

The girls will help me with the flyers today.

I have to drop by the theater. - It wasn't a question.

Leo, would you like to spend the day with Iisa and Henri?

I'd like to come with you and see your work.

Really? - Yeah.

You might find it boring.

Hi. - Hi.

You're here. - Yes, I am.

Leo. Tiina. Tiina is a costume designer.

And Selja's ex-live-in girlfriend. Or Henri's ex.

He might've been going through some secret heteronormative phase.

Lisa's room used to be... - Oh.

Hi.

I thought you were at home with the baby. - I'm here secretly.

I told Juho I have to go check the Doll's House costumes.

You're doing Ibsen's Doll's House?

Wow, a well-read young man.

Is this your brother? I can't remember... - No.

No, Leo is not my brother.

He's here to help me with the set. - Okay.

Let's put it in the middle.

Here? - Yeah.

That's good. That's it.

Will you use this in the play?

Come sit here.

Jukka, turn it on.

Wow. This is so cool.

Go.

You still have snow in your hair. - What? It didn't melt?

Hi.

Hi.

You're Iisa's dancer friend, right?

This is Leo. - Hi, Leo. I'm Tomi.

I'll go fix something to eat. - Thanks.

Strange.

Tomi...

That's Leo.

Is he the baby? - Yeah.

Sixteen years ago he was a baby.

What is he doing here? - Well, he's visiting.

You told me you don't keep in touch with him. - That's right. I don't.

What are these brochures? Has he been here before?

No. - Was he... Was he here yesterday when I called?

This doesn't change anything.

Aren't we going to look at these?

I booked us a meeting at the bank tomorrow.

Really? - Yeah.

You think they'll give me a loan?

Of course two adults with jobs will get a loan.

Tomi. Hey. What...

Where are you going?

He needed a place to stay overnight.

What's the matter with you?

Your son shows up, and you don't tell me anything.

What time is the loan meeting? - I'll call you later.

So, you're building a house together?

I don't know. Maybe.

I seriously don't know.

I guess that's what people do. They turn 30 and buy a house and...

Yeah, if that's what they want.

Hi!

You're a blessed nuthead, I'm the same

Selja. If you move to the backwoods, can we keep Leo?

And can I borrow him tomorrow?

Want to go perform on the street? - Shouldn't you go home?

What will your parents say? - I talked to them in the morning.

They're okay with it. - Oh, are they nevi?

You've been home the whole time? - I can stay until Tuesday.

I'm sure your parents miss their little pumpkin. - Henri.

What are you doing? - I want my guitar back -

from Mr. Everyone Should Make It on Their Own.

You have tons of guitars. - This is the best one.

Not everyone here wants to play second fiddle.

Fuck you too. - We were having a nice time here.

You should learn some discretion.

Anyone here who can handle the truth?

I shouldn't have taken your guitar. I'm sorry.

How the hell are you the good guy now?

Can't you see how fake he is?

For a 16-year-old, he's especially smart and well-behaved.

Oh, suddenly you know him so well?

Come in.

Leopold. - Can I borrow your guitar today?

You're really going to close off the busiest road in the city?

You want people to hate you? That's the worst idea ever.

Urban space belongs to those that live there.

So, others are not welcome? - Not if they arrive in a car.

Have you noticed that most cars only have one person in them?

Have you noticed how nice it is to drive alone?

Nice?

Wouldn't it be nice if we never ran out of oil?

Or if the climate didn't change?

And what the fuck do you know about driving cars?

I know something.

Jesus. You drive one of those golf carts, a microcar.

You were probably spoiled rotten. - I'm sorry.

You should be more grateful. - For what?

You realize how big of a deal it is to Selja to have you here?

I'm trying to get to know her! - You have to respect her.

You have to get off her back! Or do people always have to do as you say?

What's so great about your life?

You have no money, no job and no family.

I have a job.

And a family.

Please, take the guitar.

I wanna make the world a better place

But I just drink too much and fall on my face

My life is a crooked line, bending at my will

It goes round and round but never stays still

I ramble on, trying to say something fresh and unique

But all that comes out is recycled and weak

These run-on sentences will never find a link

I want out like toothpaste from a tube on the sink

From a tube on the sink

Hey, baby We'll put out a fire with gasoline

Hey, baby We'll put out a fire with gasoline

You're somehow kooky in an unfamiliar way

You drink so you won't be the same

This is just one night among many But it feels like the last

You're a blessed nuthead, I'm the same

One look from you and I'm aflame

You play your cards so close to your chest

Before you notice, I'll be under your bulletproof vest

Hey, baby We'll put out a fire with gasoline

Hey, baby We'll put out a fire with gasoline

Take me in your arms or throw me away

Listen, my friend

We all tend to smolder in ashes on the ground in the end

Take me in your arms or throw me away

Hey, baby We'll put out a fire with gasoline

Hey, baby We'll put out a fire with gasoline

Hey, baby We'll put out a fire with gasoline

Hey, baby We'll put out a fire with gasoline

I warned you beforehand -

that a freelance set designer is not a bank's dream customer.

We have to make an offer on the house before it's sold.

I'm sure you'll have bigger income in the future.

My income is enough for me. - Yeah, if you live in a commune.

- Even if l had money, I'd still live in a commune. - You wouldn't.

If you had inherited money, you would've bought a place.

I'm glad I haven't. - Tomi! My dear friend.

Join us.

Toll roads will be the same as smoking inside bars.

In six months, people will forget things were ever different.

Blocking off the main road -

might not be the best idea to gain support.

People will drive cars until it becomes too difficult.

I don't think that's how it goes.

You were already having a bad moment before I came in, right?

You're being lazy!

Wow. - What the hell?

Supply and demand met.

I wonder if trains are still running today. - Okay, bye!

You don't have to go yet, do you?

Lisa. I'm sure Leo has his own bed in Viiala.

Oh really?

Selja.

I'd like to go see my father's grave.

I've never been there. Could you come with me tomorrow?

Sure.

Tell your parents I said hi.

Selja. Let me come live with you.

What? - It's not as crazy as it sounds.

I'll start high school here. It would be so good.

What would your parents think? - They're fine with it.

And then we could live the best life ever together.

You wouldn't have to move to the middle of nowhere.

I know you don't want to.

What does it mean when suddenly everything is so crystal clear?

What does it mean when the perfect moment is unexpectedly here?

Today I'm flying high, even though just yesterday I was blue

What does it mean? I mean really, nothing is new

The same old walls, the same old floors and locks

The same heaven and earth

How come the things that once made me sad now fill me with mirth?

What does it mean when nothing is hard and there's nothing to fear?

What does it mean when you suddenly see beauty everywhere?

What does it mean when everything is right in your life?

What is it? How do I say it right?

What does it mean when everything is right in your life?

What is it? How do I say it right?

What does it mean when the here and now is so agreeing?

What does it mean when what matters most in life is just being?

It may not mean much but still it's there

What does it mean? How did I find it and where?

What does it mean when everything is right in your life?

What is it? How do I say it right?

What does it mean when everything is right in your life?

What is it? How do I say it right?

How do I say it right?

I don't want to hear about it. - You just go on and on about it.

Either you buy me out or we're moving in. Your call.

I didn't want this in the first place.

What are you doing here? - Hi to you too.

I could've picked you up at the railway station.

Walking never killed anybody.

How come the gas bill for the microcar is so big then?

I won't listen to a lecture from you.

Leo, we want your opinion. This is your home, -

and we don't want to put you through a big change.

You can't make me decide who gets the house.

Of course not. - We can't both live here.

The decision has to be made as soon as possible.

This wouldn't be an issue -

if you had let me move to Helsinki. -That decision is final.

You can do it when you're older.

You mean like start a new life at 50?

Congratulations!

That was the right move for you two.

I still feel bad, when I think of all the money-

I paid in rent over the years.

But I'm not paying it for nothing.

I have a 100-square-meter apartment right in the center.

My roommates are my best friends, and we have a lot of fun together.

It's a phase. Your interests change.

You don't want to party hard like you used to.

We don't party that much.

What? - Well, you do party quite a bit.

Oh, and then you have illegal demonstrations. - What?

I have to say I loved it.

There was always something going on.

Sometimes I miss those days so badly.

Honey, you wanted to move back to your old hood. - Well, yeah...

It's handy to live so close to my parents.

Kielo can sleep outside in the fresh air, -

and when she's older, she can play in our yard.

You'll want to fix your house because it's your own.

I wouldn't set up a home theater system in a studio apartment.

Can't you just go to the movies instead?

I haven't even had time to go see any performances.

I don't have time for anything.

Tomi, I know this may come as a bit of a surprise -

I'm just curious about the phenomenon -

but would you be interested to see a Formula One race?

From a sociopsychological viewpoint?

It's an incredible phenomenon.

It's like a modern-day knights' tournament or gladiator combat.

So, you would fly to another country to see car racing?

Sorry, I gotta go.

I have the evening shift because Tiina has to... Oh, sweetie.

It's awful. I can't go anywhere.

Once Kielo fell from the bed, and Juho didn't wake up.

I can't help it if I don't wake up.

I can't breastfeed; I've been drinking. - I can take her.

It's like I have two kids. - Honey...

Thank you, Tomi. This is so awful.

Go heat the formula for her. - Going.

This is so awful. - Everything is alright.

I'm exhausted.

She calmed down quickly.

What does it look like? Should I pull it tighter?

It looks good.

You wanted a house like this before you met me, right?

You'd want this even if you were with someone else or... single... Right?

Why does that sound so ominous?

Please answer me.

Yeah. Or... I guess.

I mean, I always wanted a house like this.

I can't move in here.

And I can't have a baby with you.

I have to be there for Leo.

He's moving in with us, and I'm staying in our place.

That's quite a bit to take in all at once.

When Leo was born, I had nothing. Not anymore.

I love him and want to spend time with him.

I need to find a hiding place so your love can't find me

I'm wrong for you, we must face Still, it's hard to leave

We can feel what we feel and go on

As if nothing ever happened

If you just let me go, I promise I'll love you now and forever

Press yourself closer to me And all is well, I know

If I could, I'd give you everything

I'd carry your worries for you

Silence is enough for me As long as you're close

I'm happy with your scent close to me

Once you said you'd rather dance alone without me

Go on, dance, I won't stop you

You're perfection in my eyes

Perfection You give me everything

A perfect home for you and me

If you break and I fix things, will we ever get anywhere?

But you're still perfect for me

Perfection, or so I thought

A perfect dream for you and me

You can break anything

But what do we do with the broken pieces?

Tomi and I broke up.

Why?

We want different things.

That's not a reason to break up. That's when you fight.

I just broke up.

You should be there for me and show me some affection. - Selja.

I'm your best friend. - That's right.

I tell you the truth when no one else does. You'll sort this out.

I sorted things out with Leo. He's moving in here in the fall.

Without even asking me? We don't have room for him.

There's one room that could be empty pretty soon. - Excuse me?

Selja, you're not Leo's mother.

Have you even talked to his parents about this?

What are you trying to say? - He's 16.

He only thinks of himself and what he wants.

Leo is not like that. You have no right to say that.

You don't know.

Call his parents before you make an even bigger mess of your life.

Leo on Maria's phone. - Oh hi, Leo.

Oh hi.

Are Maria and Kalle home? - No. They went shopping.

Mom left her phone here.

I just wanted to talk to her about you moving in with us.

Right. I already talked to them.

They think it's a great idea.

A lot better than me living on my own. - That's true.

I'll tell Mom you called. - Yeah. See you at the demonstration.

Okay. Bye.

Morning. - Morning.

What's the matter with you?

Well, actually... There's a girl.

I knew there was something.

- What's her name? - Iisa.

Can I go see her in Helsinki the day after tomorrow?

Oh, honey, you can't stay overnight -

at some strange girl's house in Helsinki. Invite her here.

I would've just gone for a short visit.

I could've spent the night at Selja's place.

Have you been in touch with Selja?

I talk with her occasionally on Facebook.

Why haven't you told me? - She just asked me to visit.

She's asked about a hundred times.

I thought this would've been a good opportunity...

It's my phone. Give it to me.

What is it?

What?

The mood here is a little weird.

I also wanted to tell you that Leo is moving in in the fall. - Oh.

One's biological clock can go off in so many ways -

that you think living with a sneaky teenager is a good idea.

What do you have against him?

He's great. He's even coming to the demonstration. - I'm sure.

He'll probably try to stop it somehow.

Why can't you just accept him?

Why do you accept everything so blindly?

He's fooling you. - I'm not listening to this!

I've paid your rent for the past six months!

Pack your stuff and get the fuck out if you can't stand us!

- Where are you going? - He's got a date with Iisa.

About that overnight stay... - Way to go. I've been waiting for this.

Leo, before you go...

The thing is, Venla and I...

You remember Venla, right? - Yeah.

We're having a baby.

Fucking gross. - Leo.

You got some twentysomething pregnant. You feel good now?

Venla is almost thirty. Age isn't the thing here.

I expect you to... - What do you expect?

I don't want to see it.

Leo, it's understandable that you'll want a child of your own...

How can you defend him? He wrecked our family.

Leo.

Or is that what you wanted too? A child of your own.

No. Darling, you are my own child.

Great timing.

You don't have to wait for ten years to go by

These streets change faster than the blink of an eye

I tell you These summer trees touch the sky

If we continue this way, the leaves will wither and die

If you're looking for space and want to breathe fresh air

Soon you definitely won't find them here

These monsters of steel change everything overnight

If we don't all come together and really put up a fight

Am I the only one who's filled with anger and sorrow?

The only one who cares how this place will look tomorrow

Make noise

How tomorrow will look that's my contribution

Together we now call for it the streets of revolution

How tomorrow will look that's your contribution

Together we now call for it the streets of revolution

Lone wolves will never be able to make a change

But if we form a pack, we'll have a wider range

This city is all the faces that you see in the street

Hopes and dreams are the same for almost everyone you meet

I know I'm not the only one who's filled with anger and sorrow

The only one who cares how this place will look tomorrow

How tomorrow will look that's my contribution

Together we now call for it the streets of revolution

How tomorrow will look that's your contribution

Together we now call for it the streets of revolution

How tomorrow will look that's my contribution

Together we now call for it the streets of revolution

How tomorrow will look that's your contribution

Together we now call for it the streets of revolution

How tomorrow will look that's my contribution

Together we now call for it the streets of revolution

How tomorrow will look that's your contribution

Together we now call for it the streets of revolution

Let me help you. - Oh, hi.

Leopold, our biggest fan.

You came because this is, like you said, -

"the worst idea ever.' - Here I am. I'll do anything you need me to.

In that case, are you afraid of heights?

You can't take him up there. He's never done anything like that.

What is it? I'm a fast learner. - You heard him.

Where are we going to put this?

Henri? Is everything okay?

Over.

Yeah, if Leo would just hurry up.

Did he take Leo up there?

Henri, you read me? Send Leo down immediately.

Oh shit. The cops are here. Move it! - I want out.

There won't be any serious trouble. it's not like we live in Russia.

I can't get involved with the police. You understand?

You can't chicken out. I can't hang this up by myself.

Let me down! - Climb up!

For fuck's sake, Leo!

You fucking maniac! - We're not finished yet!

Why didn't you tell me you have no permission?

We'll be fined thousands of euros and have criminal records.

You've ruined the rest of my life!

You said you wanted to do this. Let's hang this up.

Where? There's nothing to hang it from.

We're here.

I'm not even supposed to be up here.

But you came here. Why didn't you stay in Viiala?

It must be nice not to have any responsibilities.

Leo, our little baby boy.

Leo! - Henri.

You fucking idiot! - Help!

Henri, hold on!

Are you alright?

You had no right to take Leo up there.

What? He wanted to go.

You'd be dead if he hadn't acted so fast.

What happened?

Henri almost fell, but Leo saved him. - Really? Wow.

Actually... - We'll go get some rest.

I want you out of my sight.

Hi. - Hi.

Here's your set of keys. - Okay. Thanks.

Is everything okay? - Don't patronize me.

Give it to me.

L"!

Brazil's two most influential players weren't there. - So what?

It shouldn't have made such a big difference. - True.

The home team had pressure. I felt bad for them.

I can't feel my toes.

You're so beautiful.

And you're so young.

I'm not.

My dad is having another kid.

My biological dad drowned before I was born.

That's terrible.

I'm sorry. - I never met him.

What about your mom? - You mean Selja?

What? - She gave me up for adoption.

What did you say?

Is Selja your mom?

No fucking way. Now I get it.

It doesn't matter. I'll be the perfect boyfriend for you.

We can never be anything.

This was a huge mistake. Leo, let me go.

Did you have one beer too many, kiddo?

Get the hell out of my way.

Markus, where's your wife?

Cool off. - Let him go.

Are you okay?

Leo, go home.

Don't go. We don't have to do anything.

Selja. Have you seen Leo? Or has he called you?

No. Isn't he home? - No. I thought...

I gave him keys.

I tried calling him, but his phone is turned off.

What happened? - Oh shit...

Leo!

Leo!

- Selja. - This is Maria Hakkinen, Leo's mother. Hi.

They called me from the hospital.

Are you with Leo now? - No, I'm not. What happened?

Excuse me.

Oh God.

Did they tell you what happened?

He fell off a wall. He had no shoes and he was drunk.

I couldn't believe it. He's never done anything like this.

He was supposed to meet this girl, Iisa.

- I wonder where she is now. - Oh, Iisa?

Leo told you he's coming here to meet Iisa, my roommate?

I don't understand. How would he know your roommate?

They know each other well.

They performed on the street together early last summer.

When his summer vacation started.

Leo came to visit me and told me he got into SYK High School-

and that he's moving to Helsinki.

Then the idea of moving in with us came up.

We told him he absolutely couldn't start school in Helsinki.

But he said... We already agreed that...

He's too young to move to Helsinki. He'll go to the local school.

We never gave him permission to move.

None whatsoever.

Excuse me. Which one of you is Leo Hakkinen's mother?

L am.

The scan showed no signs of internal injury.

You lied to me.

Were you with him on the beach?

The blood test showed he had taken drugs. Did he get them from you?

No. - You realize he could've died?

Maria... - I'm starting to understand what this is all about -

and who put this idea of moving to Helsinki in his head. - What?

I want you to leave.

If you ever come near my son again, I'll call the police.

Please leave. - Yes.

I heard you.

Sorry.

What happened? Is he alright?

More or less. - Leo.

No...

You understand what kind of person Selja is and how she lives?

Selja didn't know I hadn't told you.

Moving to Helsinki was my idea.

Selja thought it was okay -

because I told her that you and Dad were fine with it.

I can bear Kalle looking for a new wife.

But I can't bear-

you looking for a new mother.

At what point did I become blind? And fall in love with a lie?

The beauty I thought I saw was never true at all

I run out into the rain to see if you're still there

I could salvage us when the storm tries to ravage us

At what point did I become so blind? And leave my goals behind?

At what point did it leave me? My dream of life has deceived me

I want winds easier to bear I want the sky to again turn clear

Everything I do seems wrong when sitting in the eye of the storm

You were a beautiful storm You rose from a dream

But the devastation is real

You were a beautiful storm, hail that breaks windows

Wraps the rooms in darkness

You were a beautiful storm The devastation is real

In your path you leave nothing but love

You were a beautiful storm You rose from a dream

But the devastation is real

You were a beautiful storm, hail that breaks windows

Wraps the rooms in darkness

You were a beautiful storm You rose from a dream

In your path you leave nothing but love

In your path you leave nothing

but love

I thought you could use help.

I don't think I can do this right now.

Tomi.

Please forgive me. I was so lost.

Get up, will you? - Not until you say I can stay.

My heart can't take another U-turn.

How was your day?

I've been thinking about what I'd be doing in our old garden.

Well, at least I don't have to rake leaves here.

I do miss it, though.

But I'll be fine.

And we'd be sha-ba-da-ba-do-dah If you ask me, oh yeah

Close to me And suddenly I want it all

Sha-ba-da-ba-do-dah, where we going ooh-ah? Anywhere

And we'd be sha-ba-da-ba-do-dah If you ask me, oh yeah

Close to me And suddenly I want it all

Sha-ba-da-ba-do-dah, where we going ooh-ah? Anywhere

We can go anywhere

We can go anywhere

With you I'll go anywhere

You carry with you your shades and a footbag

We'd go so far that we'd wake up with jetlag

We'll drown in euphoria And won't sleep till tomorrow

I'd pack my suitcase with a ukulele and some juice

As long as I'm with you really nothing else is of use

Wait a minute, hey, a moment just

We can do whatever we want, just be us

And we'd be sha-ba-da-ba-do-dah If you ask me, oh yeah

Close to me And suddenly I want it all

Sha-ba-da-ba-do-dah, where we going ooh-ah? Anywhere

Anywhere

We can go anywhere

With you I'll go anywhere

Hey! - Wait!

Lisa! What...

Leo. Hi.

You're here. In Helsinki. - Yeah, we live here now.

Lisa, you're talking to the Antichrist here?

Ruin many lives lately?

Henri. - What?

How's Selja?

We don't see her, since we don't live together anymore.

We didn't separate as friends, thanks to you.

Let's go. This major asshole has caused enough... - I'm sorry.

I understand what I was like. I apologize.

For what? For lying to Selja?

Or for pushing me off the roof? - For everything. I'm really sorry.

Go suck a bag of dicks.

Hey, if he says sorry... - We're not in kindergarten.

I can hate him as much as I like.

You have every right to hate me.

I hate me too.

I'd almost rather be in Viiala -

than see my mother go gray before my eyes.

Whoah. You might be growing a heart.

Very funny.

You really don't know anything about Selja?

Henri, you're her best friend.

What the hell. Let's go there. - Where?

To the backwoods.

Is this really the right place? - it looks like no one is home.

How can anyone live this far?

Why haven't they taken these twigs away'!

They're roses. - Leo, focus.

What is it? Ouch. - Sorry.

What the hell are you doing here?

Leo, you have to stay away from me.

Maria made it very clear.

We came to see if you're still alive.

We came all the way from Helsinki.

The bus ride took over an hour.

Who the hell lives here? - I do.

This wasn't a good idea. You should go home.

I really have to pee. It's an emergency.

See, Leopold and I have made peace. - Nice.

I mean it. It's nice.

How are you?

Whoah. Way to go, engineer.

Got a bun in the oven? - No.

We"...

Are you happy here?

You know, at some point you have to stop asking that.

You can't be happy if you question it all the time.

Does it mean you have to be unhappy then?

That sure went well.

Oh, sorry. Let me put these away. - You don't have to.

Of course I will.

Come sit down.

Did you have a nice day? - Yeah, I did.

Henri, Iisa and Leo dropped by.

Okay. And?

Nothing.

I told them to go home because Leo was there.

It's okay. They're my guests.

Nice to see you both.

You live here? - Yeah. With my fiancé.

Leo gave me this phone number.

He said the man needed help with his garden.

I have no idea what this is all about.

You drove all the way from Viiala?

I moved to Helsinki with Leo.

Kalle got the house. It's a good place for small children.

I'm sure Leo was happy there.

He sure was in a hurry to leave.

It's because he wanted to go to that school in Helsinki.

It had nothing to do with you. Or me.

Well, he got what he wanted.

I agreed to move here so that I get to have him -

at home for a couple of more years.

Now I sit in that small apartment and listen to the door open and close.

He really only comes home to sleep.

The happiest day of my life was when the consideration period was over-

and I got to bring Leo home.

I realized that now no one could take him from me.

That would've been the last thing I'd want to do.

I remember the first time I saw you and Kalle.

I was so happy you'd be Leo's parents.

I thought you were the kind of mother I'd always wanted.

What will I do when Leo moves out?

Who am I?

You're still his mother. And always will be.

Oh.

I told you they'd hear us. - Have a seat. Other way around.

It'll take a moment.

People of Niipperi, are you ready? - Yeah!

He's here tonight: Leo Hakkinen!

Hi.

The thought of it all makes my hearts burst into a song

Everything tomorrow will bring along

I'm ready for it I just can't wait

You're looking at a man, not a boy

I screwed up so many times Dove into dark waters

All of it I just broke to pieces

My life will start today

And I won't throw any of it away

I promised I'd change

I'll do just that, I'll prove to you

I'll be who I want to be

I can see the signs of my restless years beneath my mother's eyes

I made so many people cry

It's my turn to offer a shoulder

So many things I have destroyed

Running wild in an endless void

I clenched my fist tightly in anger

I'm going to fly

I'm going to soar

When I jump off the ground, I won't feel fear

My life will start today

How about when I'm 18? - I'll be 24.

Maybe when you're 20.

When I'm 19. My final offer.

There you are. You. A smiling vision of loveliness.

I've missed you. - I think you're smiling too.

Thanks to Henri. He radiates such joy and warmth around him.

Don't touch my guitar! - Henri, calm down.

I'd love to live with him. - There's room. He's welcome.

But most of all I want to live with you.

The car is packed. I'm ready to go.

Wherever! go I'll never forget

the places I've been and the people I've met

Where do I come from, Where am I going to?

Why do things happen the way they do?

You run with your eyes closed, just playing for time

You forget life's magic can be so sublime

Listen to what life has to say It's here, right now, today

Hi.

Welcome.

Here you are. - Want to take these?

Don't be afraid to laugh and shout It's not too late to turn about

Drown in euphoria and breathe deep The moment is yours to keep

Never expect the world to be ready

Look toward tomorrow, admire its beauty

Not the same are truth and dreams

But still we believe, as crazy as that seems

Life is what it is

The meaning of it, I'd say is driving death away

Life is what it is

A beautiful today So just enjoy finding your way

Money is a bad word It won't bring happiness

It pushes you off the right path But you can't confess

I can't comprehend what this all means in the end

I sit on a bench unable to mend

Your past is shackles that you're given

They can pull you down and you'll beg to be forgiven

You'll give and get hurt but even so

You can't give up You can't let go

I breathe easy As I travel life's road

I get up ready to carry my load

The cacophonic roar of the world is strong

I join in by singing my own song

Life is what it is

The meaning of my life must be seeing love all around me

I have to taste it. - Can't wait to see your reaction.

Who roasted the ham? - I did.

Life is what it is

The lesson, I can say, is stop running away

No...

Too late now.

To my family.

Merry Christmas.

Don't you want something more?
