1
00:00:48,100 --> 00:00:51,140
Let me do your legs.

2
00:01:13,100 --> 00:01:16,140
There we go.

3
00:01:19,140 --> 00:01:22,060
Here...

4
00:01:32,100 --> 00:01:37,060
For almost 51 years
I've washed this <i>back.</i>

5
00:01:42,100 --> 00:01:44,220
That's good.

6
00:01:47,180 --> 00:01:50,980
Do you want to stay
behind, I'm going?

7
00:02:33,220 --> 00:02:39,060
Steam of Life

8
00:03:48,060 --> 00:03:52,030
One thing I've noticed,
boys, about love -

9
00:03:52,060 --> 00:03:55,230
and what women like,
that's massage.

10
00:03:55,260 --> 00:04:01,110
Neck, shoulders, legs and
buttocks, every day.

11
00:04:01,140 --> 00:04:05,110
That's our love story
right there.

12
00:04:05,140 --> 00:04:11,190
If I skip one part and
try and sneak off, -

13
00:04:11,220 --> 00:04:14,190
she will say: "You
missed the legs."

14
00:04:14,220 --> 00:04:19,110
Or if I think she's asleep,
no: "You missed the legs."

15
00:04:19,140 --> 00:04:24,070
Women are very particular about
the spots they want massaged.

16
00:04:24,100 --> 00:04:29,060
I think they call them G-spots,
or what do they call them?

17
00:04:45,180 --> 00:04:49,230
That's him.
- Well, then.

18
00:04:49,260 --> 00:04:53,230
They all look alike.
- Those babies.

19
00:04:53,260 --> 00:04:57,150
He's smiling.
- Right.

20
00:04:57,180 --> 00:05:01,230
So adorable.
- Looks like his father.

21
00:05:01,260 --> 00:05:07,030
He's so small and weak, it's great
to care of someone so small -

22
00:05:07,060 --> 00:05:11,220
and see him growing every day.
- That's right.

23
00:05:12,020 --> 00:05:17,070
I'll always remember the moment they
lifted him to his mother'<i>s arms</i> -

24
00:05:17,100 --> 00:05:21,110
and I cut the
umbilical cord. <i>. .</i>

25
00:05:21,140 --> 00:05:28,030
And I saw the baby, his
little hands and feet...

26
00:05:28,060 --> 00:05:33,070
They're home now and I <i>was</i>
on paternity leave -

27
00:05:33,100 --> 00:05:35,070
helping to take
care of the baby.

28
00:05:35,100 --> 00:05:40,190
Now one dream has come true -

29
00:05:40,220 --> 00:05:45,190
and maybe God will give us
a little princess later.

30
00:05:45,220 --> 00:05:48,020
That's right.

31
00:06:32,140 --> 00:06:36,220
It's nice to go to the sauna...
- Damn, are you going to the sauna?

32
00:06:37,020 --> 00:06:40,230
You were supposed to eat first!

33
00:06:40,260 --> 00:06:45,070
Come on now!
- I won't throw this on the stoves.

34
00:06:45,100 --> 00:06:49,190
Fucking hell, you go to the sauna.
- What's the soup you made?

35
00:06:49,220 --> 00:06:51,220
Cabbage soup!

36
00:07:27,060 --> 00:07:31,110
Really insane stories, the
things I've told you -

37
00:07:31,140 --> 00:07:34,150
things you <i>can</i> experience
in your childhood.

38
00:07:34,180 --> 00:07:40,220
Things like hidden
family violence...

39
00:07:41,020 --> 00:07:47,070
When you have a stepfather and you
feel like you're in the way...

40
00:07:47,100 --> 00:07:52,110
I first realized this
when I started school.

41
00:07:52,140 --> 00:07:56,070
We were at the cottage, he
took me to this big rock -

42
00:07:56,100 --> 00:07:59,110
where the kids always play...

43
00:07:59,140 --> 00:08:04,070
He told me that I'm not
Kuosmanen, I'm Putkonen.

44
00:08:04,100 --> 00:08:07,220
I was seven then, I
didn't quite get it.

45
00:08:08,020 --> 00:08:11,020
I thought of him <i>as</i> my father.

46
00:08:13,020 --> 00:08:19,230
If you think of it, nowadays
it would be unheard of...

47
00:08:19,260 --> 00:08:24,230
When I got home from school,
I tried to avoid him -

48
00:08:24,260 --> 00:08:30,030
and tried to look and see
if the despot is home.

49
00:08:30,060 --> 00:08:37,150
You grow numb with it, always
being beaten, hit or strangled.

50
00:08:37,180 --> 00:08:43,230
The most insane thing was to be
pushed down to the floor -

51
00:08:43,260 --> 00:08:48,150
and a pillow <i>was</i> held
over my face.

52
00:08:48,180 --> 00:08:53,150
And the hypocrisy, what
<i>was</i> shown to others...

53
00:08:53,180 --> 00:08:57,150
All <i>was</i> well in the
artist family.

54
00:08:57,180 --> 00:09:02,150
And the way it stopped for me...

55
00:09:02,180 --> 00:09:07,110
I was drunk for the first time -

56
00:09:07,140 --> 00:09:13,070
and came home, we had
this French balcony...

57
00:09:13,100 --> 00:09:16,230
I grabbed the guy, he
<i>was a</i> head shorter -

58
00:09:16,260 --> 00:09:20,110
and I was sporty and
well-built...

59
00:09:20,140 --> 00:09:25,220
I had the upper hand, I might
have dropped him from there.

60
00:09:26,020 --> 00:09:29,230
He <i>was</i> screaming for mercy
"Don't kill me! Help!".

61
00:09:29,260 --> 00:09:32,020
And that was the end of it.

62
00:09:38,060 --> 00:09:41,060
There's one more round here.

63
00:10:00,140 --> 00:10:06,030
In '89, I had everything
I had always wanted.

64
00:10:06,060 --> 00:10:10,070
I had a daughter, I
had a good job -

65
00:10:10,100 --> 00:10:13,070
but the child had no mother.

66
00:10:13,100 --> 00:10:19,230
I was a construction worker, and
my mother cared for my daughter.

67
00:10:19,260 --> 00:10:24,110
She started staying over there,
I visited them often.

68
00:10:24,140 --> 00:10:30,030
Then this person told me I <i>can</i>'t come,
because the girl always cries after that.

69
00:10:30,060 --> 00:10:33,190
<i>Was</i> your mother alone
or with someone?

70
00:10:33,220 --> 00:10:38,070
My mother is married.

71
00:10:38,100 --> 00:10:42,070
They adopted my daughter.

72
00:10:42,100 --> 00:10:45,180
My daughter is also
my stepsister.

73
00:10:47,180 --> 00:10:51,980
That's why I'm up here in the
North. I just get so sad there.

74
00:10:54,060 --> 00:10:57,220
I didn't get info about her
schooling or anything, really, -

75
00:10:58,020 --> 00:11:00,150
I had to threaten with lawyers.

76
00:11:00,180 --> 00:11:05,030
We tried to negotiate, but they
accused and pressured me.

77
00:11:05,060 --> 00:11:12,070
I lost it totally then. I've
always been <i>a crackerjack.</i>

78
00:11:12,100 --> 00:11:19,030
I told them to draw up the papers, I
will sign them, whatever you want.

79
00:11:19,060 --> 00:11:23,110
That's...

80
00:11:23,140 --> 00:11:27,140
That's how we dealt with it.

81
00:11:36,100 --> 00:11:38,220
Fuck, it still hurts.

82
00:11:51,060 --> 00:11:52,980
More steam.

83
00:12:00,180 --> 00:12:05,060
If only I could tell my
daughter, but I <i>can</i>'t.

84
00:12:23,180 --> 00:12:26,980
It's good that I <i>can</i> tell you.

85
00:12:48,060 --> 00:12:51,070
Is it cold?
- Not warm yet.

86
00:12:51,100 --> 00:12:57,140
The sun doesn't warm <i>much.</i>
Should have a black tub there.

87
00:13:00,060 --> 00:13:02,060
You want a beer? - Sure.

88
00:13:23,060 --> 00:13:26,220
It would be nice if she
came for a visit.

89
00:13:35,220 --> 00:13:40,140
We could cry together. I'm
always crying alone.

90
00:13:42,140 --> 00:13:47,140
Would be good for her to know. <i>. .</i>
- Yes, to know the reasons behind it.

91
00:14:41,100 --> 00:14:47,150
In 1983, my life got
totally out of hand.

92
00:14:47,180 --> 00:14:50,070
I lost my grasp of things.

93
00:14:50,100 --> 00:14:52,220
I drank and got into crime.

94
00:14:53,020 --> 00:14:58,110
In the summer of '84, I
committed a robbery -

95
00:14:58,140 --> 00:15:02,150
and got one year for it.

96
00:15:02,180 --> 00:15:08,150
I drank and drank,
that was my life.

97
00:15:08,180 --> 00:15:11,070
I went into prison
that summer, -

98
00:15:11,100 --> 00:15:17,220
and that started a spiral
that lasted until '93.

99
00:15:25,100 --> 00:15:30,150
Once I <i>was</i> crossing
the street, -

100
00:15:30,180 --> 00:15:33,190
I was high on drugs,
drunk or something, -

101
00:15:33,220 --> 00:15:38,140
and I realized this is a part of
the plan that destroys me.

102
00:15:40,180 --> 00:15:45,190
Then I got an 18-month
sentence. <i>. .</i> 103

103
00:15:45,220 --> 00:15:50,150
I lived alone in my cell,
they do in Sweden.

104
00:15:50,180 --> 00:15:58,030
In the corner, there was a
piece of metal sheet -

105
00:15:58,060 --> 00:16:01,150
that served <i>as a</i> mirror there.

106
00:16:01,180 --> 00:16:04,110
I remember looking into it -

107
00:16:04,140 --> 00:16:08,150
and thinking that I'll kill
myself to end all this shit.

108
00:16:08,180 --> 00:16:13,110
I had this lady friend who
visited me from Stockholm.

109
00:16:13,140 --> 00:16:18,070
She came to the prison
in March and asked:

110
00:16:18,100 --> 00:16:22,220
"Pertti, what happened to your eyes,
they're the eyes of a dead fish."

111
00:16:32,100 --> 00:16:36,070
One prisoner tried to escape -

112
00:16:36,100 --> 00:16:40,150
by splitting his gums
with a razor blade.

113
00:16:40,180 --> 00:16:45,230
I had taken amphetamine one night
and just decided to escape.

114
00:16:45,260 --> 00:16:53,030
I started working out, so
I broke into sweat -

115
00:16:53,060 --> 00:16:56,150
and then called the guard:
"I've got stomach cramps."

116
00:16:56,180 --> 00:17:03,070
I took a razor blade and made
wounds into my mouth -

117
00:17:03,100 --> 00:17:06,220
and let the blood run
into a cup -

118
00:17:07,020 --> 00:17:10,230
and spread it all over the place
and lay down on the floor.

119
00:17:10,260 --> 00:17:16,070
That's how they found
me, unconscious.

120
00:17:16,100 --> 00:17:22,230
They hooked me up to an IV, I started
running towards the door.

121
00:17:22,260 --> 00:17:29,190
The guards caught me, called the
police and handcuffed me.

122
00:17:29,220 --> 00:17:36,060
The warden put me into solitary,
I was a danger to others.

123
00:17:41,220 --> 00:17:49,220
In the solitary, I <i>was</i> permitted to
sit outside on my lunch hour.

124
00:17:50,140 --> 00:17:55,110
It was a beautiful day, I
sat against a trash <i>can.</i>

125
00:17:55,140 --> 00:17:58,190
I wore shorts, had a cup of
coffee and the sky was blue.

126
00:17:58,220 --> 00:18:03,110
All of a sudden, I saw a blue
butterfly in the sky.

127
00:18:03,140 --> 00:18:07,030
I thought it was beautiful, hoped
it would sit on my mug.

128
00:18:07,060 --> 00:18:11,220
The mug was blue and had
painted grass and flowers.

129
00:18:12,020 --> 00:18:14,070
It was like summer.

130
00:18:14,100 --> 00:18:16,230
So the butterfly
landed on my mug.

131
00:18:16,260 --> 00:18:20,220
I hoped it would open its
wings, and so it did.

132
00:18:21,020 --> 00:18:24,030
And at that moment,
something happened.

133
00:18:24,060 --> 00:18:28,190
Instantly, my broken
view of the world -

134
00:18:28,220 --> 00:18:33,060
<i>was</i> totally cleared.

135
00:18:41,180 --> 00:18:46,060
At the end of February 1991, I
got out of prison in Sweden.

136
00:18:48,220 --> 00:18:53,110
When I walked into the
log temple, -

137
00:18:53,140 --> 00:18:56,070
I had this insight that the woman who
sits next to me will be my wife.

138
00:18:56,100 --> 00:19:01,150
And so this Anu <i>Katia</i> Johanna sat next
to me during the introduction.

139
00:19:01,180 --> 00:19:05,110
I fell in love with
her woolly socks.

140
00:19:05,140 --> 00:19:11,070
She curled her toes inside the
red-and-white striped socks.

141
00:19:11,100 --> 00:19:15,140
I looked at her and my
heart went all weak.

142
00:19:16,220 --> 00:19:24,030
Once I came back from a run and near
the course center I thought -

143
00:19:24,060 --> 00:19:27,150
that if Anu is at the front
door, I will tell her this.

144
00:19:27,180 --> 00:19:31,070
I went there, and she
opened the door!

145
00:19:31,100 --> 00:19:34,140
I told her: "We will
be married."

146
00:19:37,020 --> 00:19:40,070
When I was young, I
told my mother:

147
00:19:40,100 --> 00:19:46,230
"I want a wife from Kainuu, she
is a brown-eyed nurse."

148
00:19:46,260 --> 00:19:51,020
And my wife has brown
eyes and is a nurse.

149
00:19:56,140 --> 00:20:02,150
When Anu took the pregnancy test
and then she called the lab -

150
00:20:02,180 --> 00:20:08,190
and she heard that the
hormone levels were up -

151
00:20:08,220 --> 00:20:13,220
it was just such miracle!
That I would be a father!

152
00:20:14,020 --> 00:20:17,140
After such a life!

153
00:20:25,060 --> 00:20:32,030
This kind of <i>basic</i> life,
organized society -

154
00:20:32,060 --> 00:20:35,220
this is the best I know.

155
00:20:36,020 --> 00:20:39,150
I've always had empty pockets.

156
00:20:39,180 --> 00:20:42,980
Now I have my family
and empty pockets.

157
00:23:35,020 --> 00:23:37,220
I got married during the war -

158
00:23:38,020 --> 00:23:42,070
and had two children
when I was on leave.

159
00:23:42,100 --> 00:23:47,100
But then my wife got sick.

160
00:23:49,180 --> 00:23:57,030
When she was still alive, if I
<i>was away</i> for a few hours -

161
00:23:57,060 --> 00:24:02,150
I always worried if I would
find her dead or alive.

162
00:24:02,180 --> 00:24:09,190
I couldn't always get the
boys to watch her.

163
00:24:09,220 --> 00:24:15,150
My eldest son was there a
few times and asked me:

164
00:24:15,180 --> 00:24:19,980
"How <i>can</i> you cope with this life
for so many years, Dad?"

165
00:24:21,020 --> 00:24:23,220
But I just had to carry on, -

166
00:24:24,020 --> 00:24:30,020
and you get the strength for
it as you go along.

167
00:24:35,020 --> 00:24:40,220
It went on for five years
before she finally died.

168
00:24:41,020 --> 00:24:43,980
Then I was alone.

169
00:24:45,020 --> 00:24:49,070
I <i>sat</i> home alone on my bed -

170
00:24:49,100 --> 00:24:55,070
and cooked whenever I wanted,
what little I wanted alone. <i>. .</i>

171
00:24:55,100 --> 00:25:01,070
Suddenly I had this hunger
for other people.

172
00:25:01,100 --> 00:25:08,190
I said myself that something
<i>has</i> to change in my life.

173
00:25:08,220 --> 00:25:13,150
My son came to visit and
said: "Listen, Dad."

174
00:25:13,180 --> 00:25:21,150
"We have to do something, you
have to get out and about" -

175
00:25:21,180 --> 00:25:25,230
"or else you will
go crazy."

176
00:25:25,260 --> 00:25:32,070
After my son told me that,
I got my <i>act</i> together -

177
00:25:32,100 --> 00:25:35,150
and went to the Veterans'
Christmas Party.

178
00:25:35,180 --> 00:25:39,150
I found a nice-looking
person there, -

179
00:25:39,180 --> 00:25:44,150
I thought she would be nice company
if only I would dare to ask.

180
00:25:44,180 --> 00:25:49,030
I finally approached her -

181
00:25:49,060 --> 00:25:52,070
and asked if I could one day
come for <i>a cup</i> of coffee.

182
00:25:52,100 --> 00:26:00,030
She said yes, and soon enough I went
there with a bunch of flowers.

183
00:26:00,060 --> 00:26:03,230
That's how it started and
it still goes on -

184
00:26:03,260 --> 00:26:06,110
hopefully for a long time.

185
00:26:06,140 --> 00:26:11,110
We've had great companionship
and a good life.

186
00:26:11,140 --> 00:26:14,190
She's a good person
and <i>can</i> cook -

187
00:26:14,220 --> 00:26:20,030
and tells me how to do laundry
and helps me in everything.

188
00:26:20,060 --> 00:26:23,230
I'm living the best
years of my life.

189
00:26:23,260 --> 00:26:27,030
Well, her neighbors must
have been wondering -

190
00:26:27,060 --> 00:26:31,070
when they saw another pair of
underpants on the washing line -

191
00:26:31,100 --> 00:26:33,100
<i>as</i> she doesn't have <i>a husband.</i>

192
00:26:35,020 --> 00:26:39,220
How long have you been together?
- For 18 years now.

193
00:26:40,020 --> 00:26:45,180
Both getting older at the same time.
- Older and senile.

194
00:27:02,140 --> 00:27:09,070
The police brought him here
one night in the spring.

195
00:27:09,100 --> 00:27:16,150
They called and asked if there's
room for one more orphan.

196
00:27:16,180 --> 00:27:20,030
I said there's always
room for one more.

197
00:27:20,060 --> 00:27:24,140
That's how our
friendship started.

198
00:27:27,020 --> 00:27:31,110
We went berry picking and
fishing with him.

199
00:27:31,140 --> 00:27:36,230
At first, we should have picked
the berries for him.

200
00:27:36,260 --> 00:27:43,070
At one point, there was a
bush full of blueberries -

201
00:27:43,100 --> 00:27:50,070
so I took some branches and
told him to sit down -

202
00:27:50,100 --> 00:27:56,220
so that I could teach him
how to pick blueberries.

203
00:27:57,020 --> 00:28:00,190
When we had caught fish -

204
00:28:00,220 --> 00:28:05,110
we had to negotiate how
to share the catch.

205
00:28:05,140 --> 00:28:13,140
He <i>was</i> going to take all
<i>fish.</i> I wouldn't let him.

206
00:28:14,140 --> 00:28:20,980
"I will take these and
you will take those."

207
00:28:22,100 --> 00:28:27,220
Breaking things is
important to him.

208
00:28:28,020 --> 00:28:34,980
If you give him <i>a car</i> tire, he
will tear it apart in a second.

209
00:28:39,260 --> 00:28:45,070
One Saturday, we went
to the <i>sauna.</i>

210
00:28:45,100 --> 00:28:50,150
He stayed to eat out
in the barn.

211
00:28:50,180 --> 00:28:55,030
We sat in the sauna
for a while...

212
00:28:55,060 --> 00:28:59,150
The doors started banging -

213
00:28:59,180 --> 00:29:02,230
and he barged in from
underneath the door -

214
00:29:02,260 --> 00:29:06,220
and came to the benches.

215
00:29:07,020 --> 00:29:11,060
I told him I will throw some water
on the stove to get some steam.

216
00:29:13,100 --> 00:29:21,100
As soon as the steam hissed he
barged out underneath the door.

217
00:29:22,060 --> 00:29:30,060
I told him: "No, no don't go yet, you
haven't broken into sweat yet."

218
00:29:30,180 --> 00:29:33,980
But no, he went outside,
banging the doors.

219
00:30:06,260 --> 00:30:09,030
Right, Juuso.

220
00:30:09,060 --> 00:30:13,220
You were Only a boy when
we had our <i>sauna.</i>

221
00:30:14,020 --> 00:30:17,110
A very little boy...

222
00:30:17,140 --> 00:30:21,220
Left without washing, did you?

223
00:30:22,020 --> 00:30:25,140
Yes, that's right.

224
00:30:32,260 --> 00:30:37,190
The bear <i>has</i> become a
real friend to me.

225
00:30:37,220 --> 00:30:43,030
It's an intelligent animal,
learns very fast.

226
00:30:43,060 --> 00:30:48,060
And it is a true, loyal
friend indeed.

227
00:30:52,260 --> 00:30:58,220
Right, another one gone. This
is the name of the <i>game.</i>

228
00:31:05,100 --> 00:31:09,020
Juuso! It's broken now!

229
00:33:52,140 --> 00:33:56,220
I keep going back to
early spring...

230
00:33:57,020 --> 00:34:00,110
We still had snow.

231
00:34:00,140 --> 00:34:05,220
There was a spring happening for
children on the lake ice.

232
00:34:06,020 --> 00:34:12,150
I was playing with
my daughter, -

233
00:34:12,180 --> 00:34:17,110
sledding down the hill,
eating grilled sausages.

234
00:34:17,140 --> 00:34:22,180
She went on a pony ride. Think
what an experience for a child!

235
00:34:25,060 --> 00:34:28,150
Every time I went to get her she
ran to me with her arms open:

236
00:34:28,180 --> 00:34:32,190
"Daddy, I want to go home with
you! I miss you so much."

237
00:34:32,220 --> 00:34:38,980
I have two cats, she says: "To
see Mikku and Okku at home!"

238
00:34:46,020 --> 00:34:48,190
It'<i>s so</i> wrong.
- Well, it tears you apart.

239
00:34:48,220 --> 00:34:56,150
Think about it: You don't see your
child for example for 13 years!

240
00:34:56,180 --> 00:34:58,100
How long has it been now?

241
00:35:00,060 --> 00:35:03,060
Well, how long has it been...

242
00:35:04,260 --> 00:35:08,230
I had just received the
Appellate Court order -

243
00:35:08,260 --> 00:35:11,230
with all the visiting rights.

244
00:35:11,260 --> 00:35:17,110
Not as extensive as
I had wanted..

245
00:35:17,140 --> 00:35:20,070
As soon as the court
process was over -

246
00:35:20,100 --> 00:35:25,220
and the decision was, like
9 times out of 10 -

247
00:35:26,020 --> 00:35:28,230
that the custody was taken
from the father.

248
00:35:28,260 --> 00:35:33,190
Every other weekend and one
weekday, that's it.

249
00:35:33,220 --> 00:35:36,110
Nothing else mattered.

250
00:35:36,140 --> 00:35:41,100
As soon <i>as</i> the process <i>was</i> over, the
mother refused to give the child.

251
00:35:43,180 --> 00:35:48,150
We were visiting grandma for the
last time with the girl, -

252
00:35:48,180 --> 00:35:50,230
we played together -

253
00:35:50,260 --> 00:35:56,030
when my ex just announced that she
won't allow visitations anymore.

254
00:35:56,060 --> 00:36:01,070
This is now September, I haven't
seen or heard of her.

255
00:36:01,100 --> 00:36:04,980
I don't even know if they
live here any more.

256
00:36:07,100 --> 00:36:11,020
The authorities <i>can</i>'t do anything
without court orders.

257
00:36:13,100 --> 00:36:20,060
I should go to court and get an order
forcing her to let me see the child.

258
00:36:23,260 --> 00:36:29,070
And of course, family and
friends miss her <i>also.</i>

259
00:36:29,100 --> 00:36:35,190
Her godfather, grandmother
and everyone else.

260
00:36:35,220 --> 00:36:41,220
They keep asking about
her and crying...

261
00:36:42,020 --> 00:36:44,070
Her grandmother is
getting old, -

262
00:36:44,100 --> 00:36:50,230
she cried if she will
ever see Inka again.

263
00:36:50,260 --> 00:36:55,100
I told her I don't
know the answer.

264
00:37:01,100 --> 00:37:06,140
I don't mind suffering, but
my girl is so young...

265
00:37:08,100 --> 00:37:10,220
She's not yet three, -

266
00:37:11,020 --> 00:37:14,190
she doesn't have
long-term memory yet.

267
00:37:14,220 --> 00:37:19,180
I think my daughter doesn't remember
who her father is any more.

268
00:37:21,260 --> 00:37:24,980
That really hurts.

269
00:37:34,020 --> 00:37:36,230
If only I could hold her.

270
00:37:36,260 --> 00:37:42,070
If she would run towards me
and jump into my arms.

271
00:37:42,100 --> 00:37:45,140
"Let's go home and see
Okku and Mikka."

272
00:39:12,220 --> 00:39:18,110
I remember my grandpa, when
I was a little boy.

273
00:39:18,140 --> 00:39:25,150
I used to walk to their place
and he'd be chopping wood.

274
00:39:25,180 --> 00:39:31,190
Grandma was inside,
cooking, doing chores.

275
00:39:31,220 --> 00:39:38,230
When grandma was in a bad mood,
grandpa would stop us -

276
00:39:38,260 --> 00:39:42,190
and ask us: "Is it still
stormy in the South?"

277
00:39:42,220 --> 00:39:47,220
He meant: "Is your
grandmother still angry?"

278
00:39:52,180 --> 00:40:00,180
I asked grandpa how old the
oldest logs were in the shed.

279
00:40:00,260 --> 00:40:05,060
He thought about it and
then said: "11 years."

280
00:40:06,100 --> 00:40:11,070
Time <i>passed.</i> Grandpa
chopped wood -

281
00:40:11,100 --> 00:40:16,020
and grandma was either in
a good or a bad mood.

282
00:40:20,180 --> 00:40:25,220
Then grandpa got dementia and
had to go to a nursing home.

283
00:40:26,020 --> 00:40:34,020
When we visited him, we
told him everyday news -

284
00:40:35,180 --> 00:40:40,110
but he wasn't interested.

285
00:40:40,140 --> 00:40:48,140
When we spent quiet time with
him, he would then <i>ask</i> -

286
00:40:50,260 --> 00:40:55,070
where the end of the
wood pile was, -

287
00:40:55,100 --> 00:40:57,980
had it reached the wall
on the river side?

288
00:41:01,100 --> 00:41:09,100
After four years grandpa found out
that his woodpile <i>was</i> running low.

289
00:41:11,180 --> 00:41:15,150
He cried and apologized -

290
00:41:15,180 --> 00:41:19,140
for not having chopped
enough wood.

291
00:41:22,020 --> 00:41:24,070
Afterwards, when I've
thought about it, -

292
00:41:24,100 --> 00:41:26,150
I realized -

293
00:41:26,180 --> 00:41:29,070
that he wanted to chop
enough wood -

294
00:41:29,100 --> 00:41:37,100
to last until the end of
grandmother's life.

295
00:41:38,140 --> 00:41:41,990
That's when I realized -

296
00:41:42,020 --> 00:41:45,140
how manifold love <i>can</i> be.

297
00:42:01,220 --> 00:42:04,140
Pete, the oars are squeaking.

298
00:42:06,020 --> 00:42:12,180
I do love boats.
- That's right.

299
00:42:14,260 --> 00:42:19,030
When the Frog went
a-courting Aha, Aha. <i>. .</i>

300
00:42:19,060 --> 00:42:20,180
There's only one aha.

301
00:42:23,180 --> 00:42:28,070
But where is he going?
- I'm going to Bulgaria.

302
00:42:28,100 --> 00:42:32,150
What else will we take?

303
00:42:32,180 --> 00:42:37,150
Sunscreen.
- Sunscreen, we have to take it.

304
00:42:37,180 --> 00:42:41,220
If I forget it, what will
we do? I burn easily.

305
00:42:42,020 --> 00:42:45,150
Then we put yogurt on your back.

306
00:42:45,180 --> 00:42:49,070
What other clothes
shall we take?

307
00:42:49,100 --> 00:42:52,220
The bikini.
- What bikini?

308
00:42:54,260 --> 00:42:58,060
You know.

309
00:42:58,260 --> 00:43:02,150
The plane flies high up.
- In the sky.

310
00:43:02,180 --> 00:43:06,100
Where's the sky?

311
00:43:59,180 --> 00:44:01,190
It's getting cloudy.

312
00:44:01,220 --> 00:44:05,020
What? - Getting cloudy.

313
00:44:15,060 --> 00:44:17,980
You should be honest
with others.

314
00:44:30,220 --> 00:44:34,030
Have you been the best friend?

315
00:44:34,060 --> 00:44:37,110
I have been for a long time,
already as a child.

316
00:44:37,140 --> 00:44:43,150
So have I.
- I've been honest to everyone.

317
00:44:43,180 --> 00:44:47,190
I've never stolen anything.
You have to ask always.

318
00:44:47,220 --> 00:44:53,110
You have to be honest.

319
00:44:53,140 --> 00:44:58,140
My best friend. I'm
the best friend.

320
00:45:00,220 --> 00:45:07,020
All's well and in balance.
- All's in order.

321
00:47:04,140 --> 00:47:08,150
Interesting, this is somehow mild.
- Yes, mild.

322
00:47:08,180 --> 00:47:12,220
It <i>has a</i> lot of soul.
Touch of leather.

323
00:47:13,020 --> 00:47:16,230
Light as the touch of
a summer fairy.

324
00:47:16,260 --> 00:47:20,230
The touch of a summer virgin.

325
00:47:20,260 --> 00:47:24,100
Right after swimming in the <i>sea.</i>

326
00:47:32,100 --> 00:47:37,150
I've been to all army saunas
there possibly are -

327
00:47:37,180 --> 00:47:41,150
from a battalion <i>sauna</i> to a
one-man tent sauna, -

328
00:47:41,180 --> 00:47:45,110
and in Afghanistan, in
a Swedish sauna -

329
00:47:45,140 --> 00:47:50,220
which differs from a Stockholm sauna in
that the newspaper is 2 weeks late.

330
00:48:15,260 --> 00:48:19,070
How have you recovered from
getting back from the tour?

331
00:48:19,100 --> 00:48:24,070
I had to work a few weeks -

332
00:48:24,100 --> 00:48:29,030
to get myself back into
the regiment books.

333
00:48:29,060 --> 00:48:32,070
I tried to adapt to
being back home.

334
00:48:32,100 --> 00:48:37,070
Some bad things happened to
me during that year <i>away.</i>

335
00:48:37,100 --> 00:48:42,030
My mother died and my
relationship fell apart.

336
00:48:42,060 --> 00:48:46,190
And you <i>can</i>'t really process
those things out there, -

337
00:48:46,220 --> 00:48:51,230
you have to concentrate
on the task at hand.

338
00:48:51,260 --> 00:48:55,110
And you know, I work out a lot.

339
00:48:55,140 --> 00:49:01,020
I poured all that anxiety and
bad feelings into workouts.

340
00:49:04,020 --> 00:49:07,230
What was it like when the Chaplain
brought the message?

341
00:49:07,260 --> 00:49:10,190
If I remember correctly, -

342
00:49:10,220 --> 00:49:17,220
my then girlfriend just
called me on my mobile -

343
00:49:18,020 --> 00:49:22,220
and told me to sit down,
she had bad news.

344
00:49:23,020 --> 00:49:26,150
Well, that was that.

345
00:49:26,180 --> 00:49:33,190
The Chief-of-Staff and the Chaplain
met me on the club house...

346
00:49:33,220 --> 00:49:37,220
The Chief immediately
started arranging -

347
00:49:38,020 --> 00:49:42,150
for me to be on the
next flight home -

348
00:49:42,180 --> 00:49:45,190
so that I <i>can</i> go bury my mother.

349
00:49:45,220 --> 00:49:53,220
Me and Jari Rankinen went to
the chapel to have a...

350
00:49:58,260 --> 00:50:01,110
Take a moment. - Yes.

351
00:50:01,140 --> 00:50:08,060
We lit a candle and read <i>a
passage</i> from the Bible.

352
00:50:12,180 --> 00:50:16,150
I could have hardened myself,
as I did before -

353
00:50:16,180 --> 00:50:19,150
and claim that I didn't
feel anything.

354
00:50:19,180 --> 00:50:25,030
But now that I actually felt something,
it <i>was</i> easier to bear it.

355
00:50:25,060 --> 00:50:31,220
In a military organization, showing
softness and weakness -

356
00:50:32,020 --> 00:50:38,150
is not necessarily a strength. You
<i>can</i> be soft and weak in private.

357
00:50:38,180 --> 00:50:42,030
You <i>can</i>'t show it there.
- No, you <i>can't.</i>

358
00:50:42,060 --> 00:50:46,140
And Finnish men have
traditionally been very tough.

359
00:50:54,020 --> 00:50:59,150
I haven't regretted joining the
army. It <i>has</i> saved me.

360
00:50:59,180 --> 00:51:03,190
I <i>can</i>'t say a bad word.

361
00:51:03,220 --> 00:51:08,220
The man and the job belong
together, in this <i>case.</i>

362
00:51:09,020 --> 00:51:12,030
Will your son continue
in your footsteps?

363
00:51:12,060 --> 00:51:17,190
Well. <i>. .</i> I'<i>m</i> happy to say he listens
to Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin.

364
00:51:17,220 --> 00:51:22,150
Last week he cut his long
hair, so no more moshing.

365
00:51:22,180 --> 00:51:26,030
But the signs are good.
- Yes.

366
00:51:26,060 --> 00:51:30,150
His own words, said with a smile:
"Join the army? Seriously!"

367
00:51:30,180 --> 00:51:34,230
He <i>has</i> been watching
me and Jari -

368
00:51:34,260 --> 00:51:38,150
and thought how
ridiculous it is.

369
00:51:38,180 --> 00:51:42,070
But we do it with a big heart.

370
00:51:42,100 --> 00:51:46,220
Whatever my son decides, if he
does it from his heart...

371
00:51:47,020 --> 00:51:50,070
If he decides that he won't
do the military service -

372
00:51:50,100 --> 00:51:54,180
and it comes from his heart, I
will totally stand by him.

373
00:52:16,180 --> 00:52:18,100
Happy Independence Day.

374
00:52:38,140 --> 00:52:43,030
When they <i>ask</i> children
to sing to Santa, -

375
00:52:43,060 --> 00:52:46,140
then you feel like saying: "Let's
just get to the presents."

376
00:52:50,140 --> 00:52:55,150
Today there was one family where
nobody wanted to sing.

377
00:52:55,180 --> 00:53:01,030
Then I wanted to hand out the presents,
but no, the lady didn't want that.

378
00:53:01,060 --> 00:53:08,070
But you don't want to leave
after five minutes either.

379
00:53:08,100 --> 00:53:15,060
You don't earn your money.
- All the homes had kids in there.

380
00:53:23,220 --> 00:53:28,070
Have you noticed that
when Santa comes in, -

381
00:53:28,100 --> 00:53:32,230
they ofter you the best chair
or a place on the sofa.

382
00:53:32,260 --> 00:53:36,220
But I have one family, I
won't mention names -

383
00:53:37,020 --> 00:53:42,190
where Santa gets a servant's chair,
and it's halfway in the doorway.

384
00:53:42,220 --> 00:53:45,110
A bit like taking some distance.

385
00:53:45,140 --> 00:53:51,150
They're so <i>far away</i> I feel like
shouting or taking a mic.

386
00:53:51,180 --> 00:53:58,030
Today I had a place where they
left me on the doorstep!

387
00:53:58,060 --> 00:54:03,150
They cleared some space there,
but it really annoyed me -

388
00:54:03,180 --> 00:54:07,220
I couldn't even get in, had
to shout from the door.

389
00:54:08,020 --> 00:54:13,020
And usually Santa is
the guest of honor.

390
00:55:11,140 --> 00:55:16,110
You know the Suzuki four-wheel drive?
- Yes, I know.

391
00:55:16,140 --> 00:55:19,190
How many people does it seat?

392
00:55:19,220 --> 00:55:23,150
Well, it takes in...

393
00:55:23,180 --> 00:55:26,140
About a dozen people.

394
00:55:27,140 --> 00:55:33,220
Well, we were 21 in there.
Driving in there.

395
00:55:34,020 --> 00:55:38,220
Who drove it? How come?
- The owner.

396
00:55:39,020 --> 00:55:45,150
It must have been a tight squeeze.
- You bet.

397
00:55:45,180 --> 00:55:52,070
The only ones that
are still alive -

398
00:55:52,100 --> 00:55:59,150
are me and the owner
of the car...

399
00:55:59,180 --> 00:56:03,220
All the others have
kicked the bucket.

400
00:56:04,020 --> 00:56:07,060
Like my wife last summer.

401
00:56:10,100 --> 00:56:13,230
They first knocked on the
door before six <i>a.m.</i>

402
00:56:13,260 --> 00:56:19,110
Then they rang the doorbell. I
said: "Leena, where are you?"

403
00:56:19,140 --> 00:56:23,150
"Who's at the door now?" But
there was nobody there.

404
00:56:23,180 --> 00:56:28,190
When I opened the door,
it was two policemen.

405
00:56:28,220 --> 00:56:35,030
They asked if I was so and so, I said yes.
They had a message.

406
00:56:35,060 --> 00:56:43,030
They said it was about my wife, or
that do you know so and so. <i>. .</i>

407
00:56:43,060 --> 00:56:46,110
I said yes, she's my wife.

408
00:56:46,140 --> 00:56:51,030
They said: "These are her
rings and belongings."

409
00:56:51,060 --> 00:56:57,060
"Our divers have just found her,
she drowned in the sea."

410
00:57:10,180 --> 00:57:13,190
She's in Hietaniemi,
at the cemetery.

411
00:57:13,220 --> 00:57:15,220
She had a good funeral.

412
00:57:20,060 --> 00:57:24,060
I have to take it one
day at a time.

413
00:57:30,180 --> 00:57:33,060
She <i>was</i> everything to me.

414
00:57:51,020 --> 00:57:52,220
I want to break a sweat.

415
00:58:06,100 --> 00:58:09,220
OK, go ahead.

416
00:58:10,020 --> 00:58:15,140
Are you going to barbecue me?
- That's what I planned.

417
00:58:25,020 --> 00:58:28,180
So where to now?

418
00:58:31,220 --> 00:58:34,980
Downtown?

419
00:58:36,220 --> 00:58:44,070
I've been on the Esplanade,
50 cents for a flat.

420
00:58:44,100 --> 00:58:49,110
Oh yes. It <i>has</i> all the
modern conveniences.

421
00:58:49,140 --> 00:58:53,230
No, I have a sleeping bag.
- I see.

422
00:58:53,260 --> 00:58:58,070
But how do you fit in there?
- Into the toilet?

423
00:58:58,100 --> 00:59:02,030
It's not that big.
- The big one.

424
00:59:02,060 --> 00:59:06,030
I see, the big one.
- It costs 50 cents per night.

425
00:59:06,060 --> 00:59:10,030
Per day. So you
recommend?

426
00:59:10,060 --> 00:59:13,180
Indoor plumbing and everything.

427
01:00:31,220 --> 01:00:37,150
So you decided to come here?
- It was in the early 90's.

428
01:00:37,180 --> 01:00:41,100
Matti asked me to come
and pan for gold.

429
01:00:43,020 --> 01:00:47,180
I had no ties in the South,
so I stayed here.

430
01:00:48,140 --> 01:00:55,060
I had nothing to go
back to there.

431
01:00:58,060 --> 01:01:02,060
Bit like me, the same thing.
- Yes, that's right.

432
01:01:02,260 --> 01:01:06,060
A bit similar, yes.

433
01:01:08,220 --> 01:01:11,060
And it's good up here.

434
01:01:14,180 --> 01:01:21,220
It's about two years ago when
I met my present wife.

435
01:01:22,220 --> 01:01:28,230
And it's been going well.
- My age protects me from that.

436
01:01:28,260 --> 01:01:34,190
Yes, your age helps,
protects you from women.

437
01:01:34,220 --> 01:01:39,060
Well, not too <i>much.</i>
- I see.

438
01:01:40,140 --> 01:01:43,060
They come and hug me.

439
01:01:52,100 --> 01:01:58,140
One time at a work trip,
something bad happened.

440
01:02:03,100 --> 01:02:09,100
They didn't warn us about men
working on the tracks.

441
01:02:10,140 --> 01:02:17,020
We were taking a plaster train
to 'c4k'e4slompolo.

442
01:02:20,220 --> 01:02:24,180
To the cement factory.
- I see.

443
01:02:26,220 --> 01:02:34,110
There was this guy, standing
on a small bridge.

444
01:02:34,140 --> 01:02:37,110
He was waving a red flag!

445
01:02:37,140 --> 01:02:41,110
I acknowledged it and braked
<i>as</i> hard <i>as</i> I could.

446
01:02:41,140 --> 01:02:45,100
He started running in
front of the train.

447
01:02:51,100 --> 01:02:53,980
Splash, splash.

448
01:02:54,220 --> 01:03:00,150
He didn't get out in time?
- No. He tried to save his friend.

449
01:03:00,180 --> 01:03:02,220
I see.

450
01:03:07,100 --> 01:03:10,110
I still have nightmares
about it.

451
01:03:10,140 --> 01:03:16,140
It <i>was</i> only about 10 <i>cars</i> away.
The boys were under the <i>cars.</i>

452
01:03:18,220 --> 01:03:24,100
But their death was...
- Instantaneous.

453
01:03:26,220 --> 01:03:32,100
No suffering, not lying in
the hospital for long.

454
01:03:38,220 --> 01:03:45,060
Later, I met one's sister and
the other one's wife...

455
01:03:55,260 --> 01:04:00,020
Shouldn't have said
anything about this.

456
01:04:03,020 --> 01:04:06,140
Sometimes it's good to talk.

457
01:05:46,100 --> 01:05:48,230
I don't know if you noticed, -

458
01:05:48,260 --> 01:05:52,190
but for years, it was hard to see
other families with twins.

459
01:05:52,220 --> 01:05:56,140
Yes, I noticed, we didn't
have much contact then.

460
01:05:57,180 --> 01:06:00,060
Understandable, in <i>a way.</i>

461
01:06:03,100 --> 01:06:07,140
You <i>can</i>'t wish this
on anyone else.

462
01:06:08,180 --> 01:06:12,060
That one of the twins is dead.

463
01:06:13,220 --> 01:06:19,140
When I saw other twin families,
I became so jealous.

464
01:06:20,060 --> 01:06:26,190
And I couldn't accept my own
feelings. That was very hard.

465
01:06:26,220 --> 01:06:33,980
And even today, I don't want to
look at baby twins in prams.

466
01:06:35,100 --> 01:06:40,060
But it <i>has</i> changed with time.

467
01:06:45,060 --> 01:06:49,060
It'<i>s a</i> bit corny, two years
and two months...

468
01:06:49,220 --> 01:06:54,180
I'm not a superstitious person -

469
01:06:55,060 --> 01:07:00,230
but I keep thinking that
Iida <i>was a</i> twin, -

470
01:07:00,260 --> 01:07:04,190
and we got our second child
on our second try -

471
01:07:04,220 --> 01:07:08,100
<i>as</i> there was a
miscarriage first...

472
01:07:08,260 --> 01:07:14,980
And then the second child dies when
she's 2 years and 2 months.

473
01:07:15,180 --> 01:07:20,020
Feels like the figure 2 is all
used up in our family.

474
01:07:39,100 --> 01:07:41,990
I had just commented the
previous night -

475
01:07:42,020 --> 01:07:44,150
that we are given <i>as</i>
much <i>as</i> we <i>can</i> take.

476
01:07:44,180 --> 01:07:46,180
And boy did we get some.

477
01:07:47,060 --> 01:07:49,150
That was a normal Thursday, -

478
01:07:49,180 --> 01:07:53,980
I had a coffee meeting for
entrepreneurs in the morning.

479
01:07:54,180 --> 01:07:59,020
I left, Minna and the kids woke
up, it <i>was</i> summer holiday.

480
01:07:59,260 --> 01:08:03,020
The meeting took a few hours.

481
01:08:05,100 --> 01:08:07,220
I went out to my <i>car</i> -

482
01:08:08,020 --> 01:08:10,230
and listened to my messages.

483
01:08:10,260 --> 01:08:12,190
I was a bit surprised -

484
01:08:12,220 --> 01:08:16,100
at how many messages I had.

485
01:08:17,220 --> 01:08:21,020
It was the third message...

486
01:08:22,180 --> 01:08:24,180
A woman's voice said:

487
01:08:26,220 --> 01:08:28,070
"It's the answering
service."

488
01:08:28,100 --> 01:08:29,220
"Shall we leave
a message?"

489
01:08:30,020 --> 01:08:32,150
Another woman
says: "Yes."

490
01:08:32,180 --> 01:08:36,020
A woman is crying in
the background.

491
01:08:37,020 --> 01:08:38,990
The message said then:

492
01:08:39,020 --> 01:08:43,100
"Please call the
health center."

493
01:08:49,260 --> 01:08:54,060
My first thought was:

494
01:08:55,100 --> 01:08:57,070
"Now it's happening."

495
01:08:57,100 --> 01:08:59,150
A strange relief...

496
01:08:59,180 --> 01:09:02,140
I don't have to be
afraid any more.

497
01:09:06,220 --> 01:09:09,140
I called the number.

498
01:09:11,180 --> 01:09:13,070
I told who I am, -

499
01:09:13,100 --> 01:09:15,150
and they put the call through.

500
01:09:15,180 --> 01:09:18,100
And Minna answered.

501
01:09:18,260 --> 01:09:21,230
Then I knew Minna is OK.

502
01:09:21,260 --> 01:09:25,100
I asked which one
or all of them.

503
01:09:26,060 --> 01:09:29,060
Minna said it was Iida.

504
01:09:30,060 --> 01:09:32,220
She told me what happened.

505
01:09:34,020 --> 01:09:36,220
I started the car, my
hands were shaking.

506
01:09:37,020 --> 01:09:41,030
I thought I'll never get there.

507
01:09:41,060 --> 01:09:44,230
During that drive, I only
had three thoughts.

508
01:09:44,260 --> 01:09:47,150
That she's there, happy
and smiling, -

509
01:09:47,180 --> 01:09:49,140
thinking how she scared us.

510
01:09:50,060 --> 01:09:51,190
The second one <i>was -</i>

511
01:09:51,220 --> 01:09:53,180
that she <i>was a</i> vegetable.

512
01:09:54,020 --> 01:09:56,180
I realized that if you
don't breathe, -

513
01:09:57,020 --> 01:09:59,180
the brain damage is immediate.

514
01:10:01,220 --> 01:10:04,980
And the third one
was: she's dead.

515
01:10:05,180 --> 01:10:08,150
The mood went from happy to sad.

516
01:10:08,180 --> 01:10:10,180
And then I just screamed.

517
01:10:11,180 --> 01:10:15,070
I got to the health care center.

518
01:10:15,100 --> 01:10:17,230
Minna is walking towards me.

519
01:10:17,260 --> 01:10:21,100
She says that Iida is dead.

520
01:10:27,220 --> 01:10:29,110
There was bench -

521
01:10:29,140 --> 01:10:32,140
and we <i>sat</i> down and cried.

522
01:10:34,100 --> 01:10:38,020
Minna asked if I wanted
to see Iida.

523
01:10:39,060 --> 01:10:41,070
Afterwards I realized -

524
01:10:41,100 --> 01:10:45,020
I didn't want it at that moment.

525
01:10:46,100 --> 01:10:51,060
When we go inside and
get to Iida...

526
01:10:52,100 --> 01:10:56,070
It's strange, a dead child...

527
01:10:56,100 --> 01:10:59,060
Does not look like
herself at all.

528
01:11:00,100 --> 01:11:03,060
I felt like...

529
01:11:03,220 --> 01:11:05,230
That when the soul has left -

530
01:11:05,260 --> 01:11:09,070
the body looks different.

531
01:11:09,100 --> 01:11:11,980
She didn't look like Iida.

532
01:11:16,260 --> 01:11:21,220
Then they told us after a while
that we should go home -

533
01:11:23,100 --> 01:11:27,020
and the child should be
taken to the morgue.

534
01:11:27,180 --> 01:11:29,230
We walked her there.

535
01:11:29,260 --> 01:11:33,220
There were piles of laundry
along the corridors.

536
01:11:34,100 --> 01:11:39,070
There <i>was a</i> little lounge
and we left Iida there.

537
01:11:39,100 --> 01:11:42,030
I couldn't bear watching it.

538
01:11:42,060 --> 01:11:47,070
That they will put the child
into a dark, cold room.

539
01:11:47,100 --> 01:11:49,230
An unbearable thought.

540
01:11:49,260 --> 01:11:57,180
We went to see Iida a few times
at the health center morgue -

541
01:11:58,020 --> 01:12:02,060
before she was taken to
Tampere for autopsy.

542
01:12:03,020 --> 01:12:04,230
I could never go in there, -

543
01:12:04,260 --> 01:12:10,070
I had to <i>ask</i> the staff
to take Iida out.

544
01:12:10,100 --> 01:12:15,220
The thought of darkness and
cold was just unbearable.

545
01:12:16,020 --> 01:12:18,220
She always liked warmth.

546
01:12:41,220 --> 01:12:46,230
I always thought that life is ruled
with rationale and theories -

547
01:12:46,260 --> 01:12:51,030
and intellect and head. I've been
a real robot, machine head.

548
01:12:51,060 --> 01:12:54,180
Then you lose your child, and
there is no reason, -

549
01:12:55,020 --> 01:13:01,060
it's all pure emotion. How <i>can</i> you
deal with that rationally?

550
01:13:02,220 --> 01:13:05,150
Very contradictory emotions, -

551
01:13:05,180 --> 01:13:12,220
like when Minna, Roosa and Essi
were there and Iida died.

552
01:13:13,100 --> 01:13:17,060
That raises mixed emotions.

553
01:13:17,260 --> 01:13:20,190
I was angry at myself for
not being there, -

554
01:13:20,220 --> 01:13:24,150
a man should protect his family.

555
01:13:24,180 --> 01:13:28,070
I let down my family.

556
01:13:28,100 --> 01:13:33,110
On the other hand, I was jealous
to Minna for being there.

557
01:13:33,140 --> 01:13:37,150
I've talked to other fathers
whose children have died -

558
01:13:37,180 --> 01:13:44,980
about what we have learned as
children about coping with this.

559
01:13:45,260 --> 01:13:50,220
What are the options for boys?

560
01:13:51,100 --> 01:13:55,060
Being silent and drinking.
"Boys don't cry."

561
01:13:57,100 --> 01:14:01,070
When you think of the situation,
it's no wonder -

562
01:14:01,100 --> 01:14:05,230
that you don't know how to <i>act</i> when
you're next to your dead child.

563
01:14:05,260 --> 01:14:10,180
You try to look for a norm
that isn't there.

564
01:14:11,180 --> 01:14:14,140
Later, you realize. <i>. .</i>

565
01:14:15,020 --> 01:14:21,140
I <i>was</i> just looking for a way to act,
a way to continue my life.

566
01:14:22,100 --> 01:14:27,110
I had this surreal thought that if I'm
ever in this situation again -

567
01:14:27,140 --> 01:14:32,020
I would want to scream. Just
scream everything out.

568
01:14:35,020 --> 01:14:40,180
When I <i>was</i> younger, I thought you
should manage everything alone.

569
01:14:43,020 --> 01:14:45,230
I don't need help, I
don't need sympathy.

570
01:14:45,260 --> 01:14:50,110
I'm fed up with it, I don't
want to be alone.

571
01:14:50,140 --> 01:14:53,140
I want to share things.

572
01:14:56,020 --> 01:15:01,980
Only now I understood that
solitude is the worst thing.

573
01:15:04,020 --> 01:15:10,180
Only knowing you are not alone
is an incredible relief.

574
01:15:20,260 --> 01:15:28,140
Sweetly the squirrel baby
Sleeps on her mossy bed

575
01:15:29,020 --> 01:15:37,020
Never reached by hounds
Nor snared by hunters

576
01:15:37,140 --> 01:15:43,980
Safe in her nest

577
01:15:47,140 --> 01:15:55,140
From her cocoon high up
She looks upon the world

578
01:15:58,180 --> 01:16:06,180
After seeing so many fights
The peace flag of her home tree

579
01:16:09,100 --> 01:16:15,060
Is flying over her head

580
01:16:27,220 --> 01:16:35,220
Oh to live happily In the
swinging cradle up so high

581
01:16:38,140 --> 01:16:46,140
Squirrel nesting forever In
the gentle arms of the tree

582
01:16:49,220 --> 01:16:54,100
Hear the song of the woods

583
01:17:18,180 --> 01:17:26,180
That's where the furry cutie
Is sleeping on her window

584
01:17:28,260 --> 01:17:36,260
Birds on the skies
Are singing lullabies

585
01:17:41,100 --> 01:17:45,980
Taking her to The
sweet land of dreams

586
01:17:53,180 --> 01:17:58,100
This film is dedicated
to Finnish men

587
