All language subtitles for In Ashes 2025

Aske?
- Shush.

Aske?
- Yes?

Can I keep you forever?

What if you had said no?

I didn't though.

I wouldn't have let you say no.

We need to sleep now.
You talk too much.

You're the type that speaks,
but doesn't say much.

IN ASHES

Chicken fillets all over the place.
And then we fucked.

Then he takes his phone,
with the flash on

and starts filming.
And I'm like... "Oh, well!"

Crazy.
You weren't afraid of surveillance?

- Nah. I was in on it myself.
- Right, of course.

Do you still have it or...?

Yeah, we filmed on his phone,
so he has it.

- Doesn't that bother you?
- No. He has a wife and kids.

Oh right.
You have something on each other?

Yeah, exactly.

Have you ever done it
in a warehouse?

No. I've never done that. No.

You have something
to look forward to.

Well, maybe...
I don't think I'm as wild as you.

Okay. What are you then?

I'm a bit more..

Boring?
- Yeah, maybe.

I like to spend time
with my friends and family

and hang out with them.
And I study, so...

- What about you?
- What do I do?

Well, these days
I work at a supermarket.

Just to earn money, really.

I'd like to move
to Berlin in the winter.

All my friends are there.

I don't feel I'm settled in Denmark.
I'm kind of...

- I get that.
It's a bit small here.

What's up?

- Berlin sounds cool.
- Yeah.

- Have you been there before?
- Yeah... Yeah.

- Should I get us two more beers?
- That would be great.

Thanks.

Excuse me?

Is there a problem?
Hello?

Christian. Christian.

Do you have something to say?
I saw you staring.

Christian. Sit down.

It was nothing?

You're welcome to join us.

COPENHAGEN 2017

What are you doing?

You'd think
I was the one going on a date.

Almost.

- Are you excited?
- Very. Am I handsome enough?

- This striped shirt is a gamble.
- Yeah.

But just let me... do a minor touch.

It won't be that visible.
Just your eyebrows.

Okay, you can do that.
But I should look nice.

Are you excited?
Yeah, very much.

What must I do?
Turn your head.

If you want it on film.

- I hope you'll like him.
- Of course we will.

know you will. He's wonderful.
And I hope he'll like you.

I think that'll be difficult.
Not in my case. I meant Mom.

When will he be here?
- 6: 30 PM, I think.

That's in ten minutes.

- Fuck!
- He'll be here in ten. Almost time.

I need to change pants.
Are you going to wear that?

- Yes, he's not dating me.
- Sure, but...

It's ten minutes. Almost nine!
Change pants now!

Casper, Magnus and I
had fun going out the other day.

We were at The Good Room.
You know the place.

Have you been
on any dates or anything?

- Yes.
- What happened?

Well...

- Recently, you mean? When?
- Well... Two days ago.

- Don't do that. "Two days ago."
- Well, I had to think.

Well... And?
You're smiling... Was it good?

He was nice for sure, but...

- The chemistry wasn't quite there.
- Not quite there.

Sometimes,
the chemistry just isn't there.

You know about that from
when you've met a girl. I guess.

I just think
he was a bit too feminine for me.

And all due respect for that.

- Sure. You can...
- Just trying to explain my perspective.

I very much feel like...
I'm a bit masculine and a bit feminine.

But he was
very determined to be feminine -

- whereas I prefer someone who
has a bit of both, so we match better.

You should've been with us. We met her,
and she was with a little friend.

He was gay.
You might like him. He was nice.

Well, he seemed nice. I briefly
talked to him. Just said hello...

- You knew him?
- No. He wanted a drink with me.

I sensed he was gay and said,
"I'm straight".

But I told him I had a friend.
Well, you're my friend.

So I thought it could be nice.
You should get out and party.

- What?
- I don't know.

Isn't that all right? He was
super handsome. A perfect match!

- How is he a perfect match?
- Come on, you're handsome too.

So handsome gay men are a match?
Or what are you saying?

- No, but you can have sex anyway.
- But why did you consider us a match?

I wouldn't say
any girl was a match for you.

I'm being mega woke about it!

I'm saying he was dynamic,
both feminine and masculine.

- That really sounds woke.
- Thanks, Christian.

I just have to find the person
I want to have a relationship with.

It's not that I haven't been
with guys from time to time.

But it's also...
You know, the places I've been.

With my former boyfriend.
The memory remains inside.

It belongs
to that relationship somehow.

- Yeah.
- I just think he's annoying.

- We discussed it the other day.
- How did he react?

He got very annoyed,
and then got annoyed.

- I understand.
- If only he realized how lucky he is.

Don't you think he's going
through a rough time as well?

I just think... Well.

- I try to be relaxed about it.
- Yeah, do that.

Isn't it great being alone with Mom?

Yes. Yesterday,
we were lying in bed together.

- How cosy, Maja.
- And you? Are you doing good?

- Tell me something.
- Sure. Well, I'm fine.

- How are you?
- Well, it's just...

- Will you be home soon?
- No.

I'm very busy these days,
so it won't be anytime soon, all right?

SØREN: WHAT DO YOU LIKE?

CHRISTIAN: HAHA, BOYS

SØREN: I MEANT DO YOU LIKE ME
CUMMING IN YOUR MOUTH OR ASS?

ASKE 23
0,7 MILES

- Hi, Mom.
- Hi, honey.

I'm at the flower shop in Valby.
Do you remember the peace lilies

- we thought were too expensive?
They're now on offer.

So I can get two relatively big ones
for 6,50 Euro.

I'm sure. That sounds great, Mom.
I'm actually in the middle of something.

- But let's talk later.
- Okay, honey. Take care.

We'll talk later. Bye.
- Bye.

Hey. Come on in.
- Thank you.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Nice meeting you.
You can just put your jacket here.

- And this is your room?
- Yes, it is.

I still need to get some things sorted.
I'm not happy with it yet.

Okay. Did you move in recently?

No, that was a year ago,
but I've been so busy.

So I've not done too much about it.
- I think it's a nice place.

Where do you live?
- With my folks.

Well, that's great.
Low rent, good food and such.

But this place is pretty nice.
- Thanks. I'm glad to hear that.

I'm also trying to...

- Can I drop that here?
- Yeah, yeah.

Well... It was nice.

Yes. Very.

I have things to do,
I'm in a hurry.

Sure thing. That's cool. No problem.

We can just... You can take me
some other day. Right?

- Should I walk you out?
- No, I know my way out.

Can't he pull himself together
when there are 200 at a lecture?

Especially what he did
in the introduction week.

Yeah, that wasn't good.

That didn't go well. Old pervert.

II, ASKE. DO YOU STILL LIVE IN AARHUS?
I LIVE HERE TOO NOW. YOU GOT TIME?

OR ARE YOU BUSY?
OKAY, YOU DON'T WANT TO MEET OR?

ASKE, PLEASE ANSWER.
CAN WE JUST TALK?

Aske!

Hi.
Hi.

Hi.
Hi.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- Hi.
-Hi.

Okay... You've got a nice home.

Thanks. Well... I live in here.

It is the most wonderful city
in the world.

Better than Copenhagen?
- Yes. People are more relaxed.

- Should I get this laundry?
- Yes.

Isn't he nice?

Yes. He is very nice. Don't film
all the time. It's driving me nuts.

And you must tell me
what your favorite food is.

- What's up, Christian?
Not much. What about you?

Not much.

Should we sleep late tomorrow?

- Well... You know...
- Don't worry. I'll leave.

It's just that my parents are coming
over tomorrow morning, for coffee.

Okay.

- You know.
Sure. Sounds cosy.

- That's got to be done.
- And I should have a clear head.

- Exactly.
- For their sake.

- That's a nice plant.
- Thanks.

But it needs some water.
That leaf is a bit yellow.

- Check!
- Thanks for letting me shower.

It was about time we met, I think.

- Yeah.
- We've chatted for a long time.

- I don't remember for how long.
- It was a bit on and off.

Because you had a boyfriend.
- No, I didn't.

- I wouldn't exactly say "boyfriend".
- Then what?

I don't know.
I just haven't had any boyfriends.

You've been with a few dudes, right?
Haven't you?

No. I haven't.

Why not? You're a handsome guy.
You've been with many dudes.

- Because I'm not like that.
- Aren't all people like that?

That may be the case, but not me.
- Oh.

- I'm not either. Actually.
- Oh?

How do you know Aske?

- Aske?
- Yes, Aske Thorbjørn.

Oh, Aske. Sure.

Okay. Well, I know him.

Yeah, but how?

Well, I just know him.
Why do you ask?

No reason. I just saw you
were friends on Facebook.

It's fun to have friends in common.

People from the gay scene.
How people know one another.

So I was just a bit curious.
You don't know him?

No, I haven't met him before,
but I know who he is.

- Okay.
- Why do you want to know?

I was just curious.

- I saw he was a friend of us both.
- Sure thing.

Well, I have to leave now.

So you can get some sleep.

Yes. That would be lovely.

But it's been fun.
Yes.

- Do you know the way out?
- Yes. I'll write you.

CHRISTIAN: WHEN DO YOU HAVE TIME?
MIKKEL: HOW ABOUT NOW?

CHRISTIAN: AWESOME. SEE YOU.
WHERE DO YOU LIVE?

- Hey.
- Hey there.

- Do you also study here?
- Yes.

I haven't seen you here before, so...

Do you study political science,
economy or psychology?

- Political science.
- Nice. Me too.

Okay.

- We haven't met before, have we?
- No, I don't think so.

I think I would remember you.

Maybe at a Friday bar.
Don't you think? A party.

Maybe. I don't know.

What's your name?

- Bertil.
- Christian.

Nice to meet you.
- Likewise.

- Do you have any siblings?
- Yes. I have an older sister.

She's actually pregnant
with a little nephew.

- So I'm going to be an uncle.
- Congratulations. Awesome.

- And she's so young. It's crazy.
- Yeah. Can I see her?

You can. Nice of you to ask.

- That's her.
- Yeah. She's pregnant.

Silly photo!

Yeah, she's heavily pregnant.

She's very funny.
And that's Mom. She's cool.

She's making some bouquets.

- Wow, she's very beautiful.
- Thank you.

She's also pretty young,
as you can see.

My sister is around the same age
as when Mom had her.

So I don't know if it's a family thing.

Having children at a young age
runs in the family!

- Are you going to have children?
- Yes. I'd really like that.

- And more than two.
- That's nice.

- How about you?
- Yes. It's one of my greatest wishes.

- Is it?
- Yes.

I have to take a leak.
I'll go in there.

Christian... Christian.

Christian, Christian..!
It's way too early.

Sure.

I' l just have a smoke, then.

It was just... I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to...

No. It's okay.
I just think we misread each other.

Hi, honey. I hope you're doing good.
am in any case.

I'm having
a good time with Mom and Maja.

It's great,
but I'm also thinking of you.

So I just wanted to make
some video greetings for you

- that I'll send on a regular basis
till we meet again.

And I've written notes for you
because I think about you so much.

And I think I' l send it to you.
You can just get it by mail.

You can look at what I've written,
so you won't forget I'm thinking of you.

This one says, "Remember you're
the most beautiful guy I've seen.

There are some writings.
I also made this.

This calendar. Can you see it?

Look. "Aske leaving."

Hey!

What's that? That's when you'll be back.
We'll see each other again soon.

What's up, honey?
Not much.

Are you bored?

Why don't you call the boys?
- I don't feel like it.

Do you miss Aske?

- Yes...
- What are you reading?

"The Love Story of the Century".

- When's he coming home?
- In one week.

So that won't be a problem for me.

Don't you think it would be nice
for you to do something else

than looking at that thing,
so you won't just be waiting for Aske?

Hey, Christian. I just thought
I'd leave a message for you

since you haven't replied
to any of my messages.

It's not to make you sad,
but I can feel -

- that I need some time on my own.

And I need to see
my own friends for a while.

I think we should take a break -

- see what happens,
maybe a month from now.

Or something. Don't take it too badly.
I just think it's for the best.

Well, I'm just busy with my studies.
Assignments and...

I'm under a lot of pressure.

We just miss you, honey. We want
to celebrate your birthday this year.

I know, but the thing is -

- I don't really have the energy
to celebrate anything this year.

I just have
a lot on my plate these days.

You could celebrate with your friends?

Well, I think we... We'll do it soon.
Yes.

Then we should all be there.
Maja, of course.

Yes. Mom, I'm actually shopping,
so can we talk later?

Of course. Take care, honey.
See you soon.

Yes. Give Maja my love.

- Of course. I love you, honey.
- Yes. Bye.

You'll have to attend.
Maybe Anette will visit.

- Yes.
- My old neighbor.

She might be here in the library.

Which section are you doing first?

I thought we could begin with 3B.
Just together.

"I know why you must go to bed."
I thought, "What are you on about?"

I said to her, "I'm no fucking kid."
She said, "You're my little baby."

- "What the fuck is wrong with that?"
- What?

Did you prepare those synopses?

- Huh? Did you do those synopses?
- Did I what?

- Do the synopses for tomorrow.
-Sure. your message

- Do the synopses for tomorrow.
-Sure.

We have to send them tomorrow,
and I have football practice later.

- You do? You mean that?
- What the fuck? Yes!

Oh, I thought we had a few hours.
We're done in an hour, actually.

MATHIAS:
OKAY THEN. WHEN DO YOU HAVE TIME?

I CAN BE HOME IN 2 HOURS.

Happy birthday!
What's going on?

- You two..!
- Happy birthday, honey.

Surprise!
- Hi, Mom. Hi, Maja.

- You didn't expect that!
The baby's still growing.

There's no way around it.
- You guys are so sweet!

I didn't expect it.
Then I would've tidied the place.

No matter.
We came to see you, not your flat.

23..! You've moved to Aarhus,
but we'll still celebrate you.

And I've brought cake.
All the way from Copenhagen.

There. And we also need some coffee.

MATHIAS: I'M DOWN HERE NOW

OK, WAIT. I'M COMING DOWN

Do you like
the new subjects this semester?

Yes, a lot. It's difficult stuff, but...

- I chose it myself, so that's that.
- That's nice, honey.

Did you guys drop by spontaneously?
Yes.

Yes. Lovely. How long
have you planned on staying?

We haven't agreed on that yet.
I've taken the day off!

- We talked about going down town later.
Great... Great.

Are you busy?
- No, not at all.

I've arranged with a fellow student -

- that he can borrow
a book on economic theory.

So I just thought I'd run over with it.

could join you?
No, it's best I do it myself.

Is it okay I do that?
Yes. You do that in a jiffy.

Super. I'll just do that. I'll hurry.
- Yes.

Lovely. See you!

Come on, dammit.

Are you ready? Come on.

Come.

Hey! We were about to go for a walk.
It took longer than we thought.

Sure. He just needed some method help.

We're doing something difficult
that he needed help with.

- That's why it took a bit longer.
- You forgot your bag at his place.

- Yes, dammit... I'll get it tomorrow.
- Do you want to shop with us?

- You're so exhausted, honey!
- I hurried to get back to you.

- Wait. I'm feeling unwell.
Christian! Oh my! Are you okay?

- I think I have to sit down.
- Oh my goodness, honey.

Christian, breathe. Breathe.
My goodness...

I miss you so much.

Shouldn't we give him his gift
before we leave?

I don't want to carry it around,
and it'll make him happy.

That shirt will look great.

- Hi, honey.
- We have a gift for you.

Yes! Open it.

There's a coffee stain.

Thanks.

That's the one you wanted, eh?
- Yes, it matches.

- Yes!
It's super-awesome.

Thanks.

Okay... I think
there's coffee on it too.

- Oh no! I'll wash it. Never mind.
Yeah.

I think you're supposed to button it,
but you know that better than me.

- Try to...
- You can have it open.

Try to button it. Just to see..

Looking nice.

- It really suits you.
Thanks.

What's up?

What's up, Christian?
What's happening, honey?

No, no...

Okay... He's passing out.

Christian?

- Hi, Christian.
- Hi, Anne.

It's been a while.
What brings you out here?

I was in the area,
so I thought I'd say hi.

Well, and then I brought... Aske's belt.

- Yes?
- I found it in a drawer back home.

I've had it for so long,
so I thought he might want it back.

- Sure.
- Is he home?

- Well, he doesn't live here anymore.
- Okay...

- He's a big boy now, like you.
- That's right.

But I can give it to him when he visits.

Please do that when you see him.

I just thought that he might
be home, but please do that.

How are you doing?

Very well. I'm doing good at university.

It's going great
and I have some nice friends.

So... Yes, things are going great.
Are you guys doing good as well?

We're expecting guests shortly,
but it was good seeing you again.

Likewise.
I won't take up more of your time.

Well, give him my kindest regards
and tell him...

- I hope he's doing great.
- I will.

- I will. Take care, all right?
- Sure. Bye.

Bye.

Shouldn't we meet up soon? Or?

Well... Sure. Sure. That would be nice.

- Is it a bad time?
- No, no. It's fine.

Tomorrow, maybe?
- That sounds good.

At Mølleparken?

Shouldn't we meet at your place
instead? Isn't that cozier?

Sure, we can. If you like.

So Maja's feeling better.

Mom, I was thinking...
Can I borrow some money from you?

- Well?
- Just 70 Euro.

Just so I can..
get some decent food.

If you're short of money,
it's better if you come home.

You can have food here
and not spend money on cigarettes -

- that you know
I think is a bad idea...

Can I borrow or not?

- That'll be 6, 40 Euro.
- Sure.

HI, CHRISTIAN.
YOU ARE POSITIVE FOR CHLAMYDIA.

Yes.

Are you going to let me in or...?

You can feel a blanket.
Please lie on that.

You can open your eyes now.

Some cool oil.

- You think so?

I think it's wonderful.

- No! Restrain yourself, Ashley!
- Don't call me that.

If you eat paleo, I'll call you Ashley.

- Hi, Aske. Hello, you guys.
- What's up? What are you doing here?

I just spotted you.
I'm here with some fellow students.

- So I just came to say hello.
- Sure thing.

Crazy. Won't you sit down?

I'd love to.
Don't you guys want some shots first?

That'd be cool, I think.
I'll stick to water.

- You guys want shots, right?
- Yes, please.

Cool. What do you like?
- Something sour.

Yes. Yes. Awesome. I'll get that.

Hi. Ten small sours, please.

Of course. Thanks.

- Yes, yes. And you know Aske...
- Yes. Yes, I do.

But you're having water?

It's because I'm pregnant!
Oh.

Christ, yes! That's amazing.
Congratulations. That's crazy!

- Thanks. Thanks.
- Yeah. Wow!

Well... My sister's pregnant too.
Congratulations. Funny.

How about being a bit social
instead of staring at that thing?

Sure. Let's be social. What's up?
Grandma! Sulky old lady.

Control yourself!

- How are you?
- Fine. Thanks.

It's been a while, huh?
- Yes. Quite a while.

I thought about you.
Let's have some shots. Here.

- To old times.
- To old times.

- You're looking good.
- What are you doing here?

- What do you mean?
- Why are you here, Christian?

We're just talking, aren't we?

I don't think you should be here.
Got that?

- Am I the only one feeling bored?
- It doesn't look like it.

- Floor?
- Yeah!

- We love that!
- Yes, yes.

Be careful.
- I am!

- You get it?
- Yes, for the second time.

- Are you coming, Christian?
No thanks.

It's Christian. It's Christian.

- Let's leave?
- Fuck that. We're staying.

- Hi.
- Hi. We're leaving.

It was nice meeting you.
Get home safely, okay?

You coming?

What the hell are you doing?
What, goddammit?

- Hi, honey.
- Hi...

Are you okay, Christian? Honey?

I just needed to talk to you, Mom.
- Of course. Why are yous sad?

Please, come get me.
Can you get on the train?

Can we talk for a while?
- Yes, let's talk. Okay.

COPENHAGEN 2023

- He seems nice, I think.
- He is. He's so wonderful.

- And if Mom asks where you met?
If Mom asks?

Well, I know.
- I'll say we met at the library.

That'll make her so proud.
- Yeah.

- You know... He's very jazzy.
- He is?

- I think so.
- Then what are you?

I'm jazzy too. That's why I like him.

I'd like swung here.

Oh, you mean a... Okay.

I'm very focused.
-Yes.

Because you want swung.

- Should I pluck your eyebrows too?
-Are they a bit brittle?

I think so. Ill pluck them down here.
You could have them colored as well.

Why is it turned this way? Maja?

I want to film them, but I can't...
Why is it turned this way?

- Shouldn't you just press...
am.

- It should film that way.
- Maybe press two times fast?

- Like that. Tap, tap.
- Where tap, tap? There?

- Boys?
- Christian?

What are you doing?
Are you filming?

Come here!

Yes? Yes!

Grandma just got some points.

You can do like this.
Isn't she just amazing?

- You're so good.
- Why are you so tanned?

- It's some new stuff for my face.
-Are you embarrassed?

- No, I'm not.
- Yes, you are.

There. Okay.

Can you move closer together?
Yes.

And show me love!
You guys are so cute!

Wait. I need to focus.
There. Just perf...

And kiss, kiss. And smile, smile.
Smile, smile.

Oda. Hi, honey! Hi. Okay.

Are you filming or what?

Maybe I am.

Tobias?
- Yes.
