In a troubled relationship,

we feel drained

because love is energy,

and it needs to flow in us.

Whether your issues are about connection,

communication,

your sex life,

or you just crave a fresh start,

I have the most exciting news to tell you.

I created Lempo's Midsummer Retreat

to help you reclaim that energy.

Lempo is Finland's ancient goddess of love,

and the summer solstice amplifies

her transformative influence.

So through old shamanic rituals

and holistic techniques,

I will help you address

your deepest insecurities.

I will restore your relationship's

earthly and spiritual flow.

So under the warm rays of the midnight sun,

come surrender to Lempo,

and let her heal your love.

Do I want to live in fear?

Do I want to live in darkness,

or do I want to choose love?

Free your hearts in the name of love.

Come on, where are you?

Come on, birdie.

Go, be free.

Marko?

I'm sorry.

Hey. Hey, are you okay?

I love you.

I love you, too.

Not you!

I'll never fucking love you!

Ah!

Hey.

It's okay.

I guess I'm not the only one having weird dreams.

Oh, I got a good feeling about this place.

It's going to be good for us.

Only thing I don't love is that they took our phones.

So weird, right?

So weird.

Hey, brother, about the phones.

There's a landline in the lobby,

free to use for our guests.

Okay.

A key part of Lempo's Retreat is that we believe

connection starts from disconnection.

Fair enough.

Weird, right?

It's only three days.

Everyone!

Please welcome Justin and Ana.

As we wait for Tiina to join us,

I will fetch some welcoming drinks.

And then there was one.

Oh, excuse me?

Hi, I'm Harper.

Oh hi, I'm Ana.

Where are you from?

L.A. You?

From Texas. But without the red hats.

So what brings the two of you here?

Oh, you know, the normal couple stuff.

Hmm.

I guess.

Like everyone else, right?

Oh, tell me about it.

Come, let's join the others.

Right, right, right?

It was good, good food. Yeah, for real.

Oh, and this is my wife, Ana.

Ana, everyone.

- Hey. - Hi, Ana.

Hi.

So you were telling us about the retreat?

Yeah, well, it's our second time.

And this retreat is more than therapy.

But it's definitely not for everyone.

Hmm, how so?

Well...

Ooh.

Made from local berries.

One for you.

Oh, thank you.

Ah, thank you.

Well, you two seem to really like it here.

Yeah, Tiina's methods are wonderful.

Yeah, she's a healer.

Max gained so much... vigor the last time.

Baby, you alright?

What?

Thought you were going to jump in.

Welcome back.

Feels so good to be back.

Tiina, hi.

Hi, Justin. And...

Ana.

Yeah.

We wanted to thank you personally

for inviting us here.

Thank you.

You've come a long way, Ana.

L.A., actually.

Your journey started long before your flight here.

Oh, right. Right.

Well, you arrived.

Ah, welcome.

Lance.

Welcome.

- What was that? - Wow.

Please, everyone, join me.

Please don't touch Lempo.

Oh, yeah, right. I'm sorry.

I, I'm a sculptor. I was just admiring the craft.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Everyone!

You are now in Lempo's care.

- Mm-hmm. - Wow.

Your lives are about to change.

A new age of Lempo is upon us,

and by this lake where she rests,

you will be at the core of it.

Excellent! Now, let's cleanse our bodies in the sauna.

The steam of our sauna, the löyly, is very special.

You'll love it.

Okay.

Go ahead, I'll, I'll see you there.

Excuse me, Tiina.

Yes, Justin.

I just wanted to say I'm...

I'm really hopeful

that this will allow me to reconnect with Ana.

You're being very honest with me with your intentions.

Are you being honest with her?

She doesn't let me in.

I hope you can help.

Looks beautiful.

Hi! Sorry.

You're Ana Swaithe, right?

Oh, yeah.

I'm Blake.

I'm the one that sent you the invitation.

Oh, thank you.

I go by Chow now, though.

Hi, Justin.

I'm the one who convinced her we should try this place.

It's so good to have you here.

Tiina said that you're from Minnesota, right?

I lived there for a little while,

had a... friend there.

He was also part Finnish.

You lived in Minnesota?

Are you Finnish too?

Because the name of your shops, Lintu,

is Finnish for bird, so I figured maybe...

It's just a word that he taught me and I liked it.

Speaking of birds, there's a lot of them here.

Makes sense.

Lempo is actually also goddess of the birds.

It's said that thanks to her, souls can live on as birds

before they move on.

That's fascinating.

Even learning new things about you.

Lance?

Thanks for waiting, asshole!

For Finns, the sauna is a sacred place.

We wash ourselves in them,

but above all we gather, we connect.

Sometimes we even make love in them,

and some even give birth in them.

Please enjoy, and I will see you later.

It's going to be fun.

Come in.

I'll get the towels.

Thank you.

Ooh!

Hmm.

Ooh.

If it's too hot, you can sit on a lower bench.

Nah, challenge accepted.

Wow.

Those branches you have are called a vihta.

I want you to whip each other's backs with it.

Gently, of course.

It's good for the skin.

Oh.

Easy there, buddy.

Ow!

Alright, alright, alright, alright.

Oh.

Are you good, darling?

One more run.

Oh my god! Whoo!

Yeah!

You're okay, you're okay. I got you.

I don't know what happened.

It's alright, you're okay now.

I swear I thought I was drowning.

Thank you.

Of course. Come on.

Oh hey, there you are.

Enjoyed the lake, huh?

Yeah.

Oh, it's so hot. It's so hot.

Fuck this place!

Oh, I'm sorry, Petri?

There's a dead bird in our room.

Oh, did it break the mosquito net?

I don't think so.

Our window is stuck actually.

Hey, man, doesn't matter how it got there.

Please, just take care of it.

I'll take care of it. Don't worry about it one more second.

Tiina is waiting for you on the deck.

So in ancient times,

Finns understood love differently than most.

They saw it as a visceral force of nature,

beyond good and evil.

An energy that flows through each of us in...

companionship, passion,

and in conflict and feelings like jealousy.

It can create life, but also drive us to destruction.

Exactly.

And we're here to understand

how lempi manifests itself in us

in all the different aspects of love.

Come, pick your piece.

Careful not to cut yourself.

It is believed that when one looks through the mirror

during Midsummer, their true love is revealed.

With the piece of mirror you have,

find each other.

What do you see? What do you feel?

Trust your lempi.

Well done.

I see your alignment.

You have passion, sexual energy.

But beware, passion is a powerful force

if not kept in check.

Thank you, Tiina.

I'm grateful for Lempo's guidance.

Don't you go seek out one of the other hubbies.

I see you.

Focus, Lance.

Here, like this.

No--

We're just not very good at this.

No.

Hey! Gotcha!

Marko.

Ah!

Babe!

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm just clumsy.

Hey, focus, huh?

Does anyone have a first aid kit?

I'm fine, it's nothing.

This leaf heals wounds really well.

Thank you.

Who's Marko?

Justin.

You've been unfaithful.

That's...

That's not appropriate.

You blame yourself for his death.

Maybe you believe you could've done something more.

You didn't see the signs.

Hey, Ana, what's she talking about?

No.

Ana, wait up.

Blake, I'm fine, I just...

What happened? Who did you see?

What? What did you say?

Ana!

Look, I just, I need some time alone.

Please don't leave.

Stay, for me, please.

I really need this, and if you leave

then Lance will use it as an excuse to bail.

You know, who here hasn't been cheated on?

We're all in this together.

No, but...

You'll be okay.

Just stay the night, okay?

Oh, please, I beg you.

You won't regret it.

Oh, god.

I guess it's too late to leave now, right?

Thank you.

Yes.

Yes.

Thank you.

Yes.

I think that with what we just experienced...

We?

Shh.

... and the power of the solstice upon us,

we should take it up a notch.

Oh!

Starting tonight.

Yes!

Don't you just feel it?

Wow.

That's not blood, is it?

I hope not.

Let go of it all.

Head into the weightlessness of lake's waters.

Let Lempo envelope you in her,

in her embrace.

Well, I'm following the Frenchies.

Ah, fuck it.

Fuck it.

Okay.

Here we go.

It tingles.

I wish this lasted forever.

You know I'm here because I really love you, right?

Take me upstairs.

I wish I could join them.

I wouldn't share you with anyone.

Hmm.

Hi.

Morning, beautiful.

Want to talk about yesterday?

No, I'm good.

Hmm.

Well, I want you to know that I forgive you.

Forgive me?

Yes.

Whoever Marko is, or was.

I forgive you.

Justin, you cheated on me.

You have nothing to forgive me for.

I didn't...

I thought honesty and understanding

was how we're going to fix this!

Ana!

Talk to me.

Please.

And I hoped for bacon.

Don't start. It's too early.

Where are Maxime and Delphine?

Oh, already, huh?

They're probably still sleeping after all that action.

You're so funny. I love you.

Are you okay, dear?

Maybe you need more coffee.

Morning!

Morning.

Good morning.

Well, how are you?

Good, thanks.

Ana still recovering?

Ana went for a run.

Honeymoon's over, I guess.

Isn't it weird for you to be here?

No.

It's cool. I'm learning a lot.

Cool?

I mean, you chose to hang out with troubled couples.

I mean, what's wrong with you?

Don't talk to her that way, you cunt!

Margaret!

Whoa! Okay!

What is wrong with you?

Let's all calm down, yeah?

Are we good?

Lance, are we good?

I've never felt calmer in my life.

Oh!

Okay.

Shoo! Shoo!

Ah!

Fuck you!

The fuck do you want from me? Leave me alone!

I'm talking to a bird now.

What the fuck?

Morning.

- Hey, what's up? - Morning.

Hey, babe.

What's up?

Oh, nothing.

The Frenchies are sleeping.

the rest of us are on edge.

Enough!

Did you find some sherry and get pissed this morning?

Sit down!

I'm going to go shower.

Sorry.

It's okay.

Justin.

Babe?

I'm sorry.

I was an asshole.

I don't know how to help you.

Who said that I need help?

Clearly, you're the one who needs help.

That's why we're here!

It's part of the process.

I'm done.

I'm leaving.

So you're just giving up?

Listen, Justin. I fucking almost drowned,

I'm being attacked by birds,

I'm being haunted by my dead ex who killed himself

because of me.

And I just saw Tiina jerking off Petri in the woods.

I want to go home.

Are you actually listening to yourself?

I mean, maybe this is all just in your head.

Listen, I'm sorry.

Will you ever let me in?

All you do is push me away.

And now, now you hit me with the small fucking detail

of your dead ex? I mean, come on.

You're right, Justin.

I guess we're even now.

Ana, I'm telling you that this is working for me!

And I need you to at least respect that!

And to respect me!

Hi! Do you speak English? I need a taxi to go to Helsinki--

Can I help you?

Yes, I need a taxi.

You can't leave.

I have to. I'm sorry, but this isn't working for me, so...

It's Midsummer, there are no cars.

You can't leave.

Why don't we join the rest and discuss the day ahead?

Shall we?

Everyone.

While we prepare the ceremony tonight,

I need you each to fetch something

that represents your relationship, your bond.

This clarity will have you prepared

to receive Lempo's gifts tonight.

Where's Max and Delphine?

Oh, their journey culminated last night.

They are no longer with us.

I thought you said there was no way to leave.

No cars, right?

We had a delivery of supplies this morning

and they headed out with the truck.

Jeez, five star all the way.

This doesn't make any sense.

Well, I'm going for a walk to collect my thoughts.

Great! Let's go.

No, Mar.

The whole point is we need time to do this on our own.

I am not going alone. Ana, care to join me?

Okay, fine.

I think I'll hang back.

Fine, hang with her.

Oh, wait, wait! Wait up!

Cunt.

I got it, I got it!

Rock.

Right, 'cause I'm like a rock?

Bro, put this back, man.

This is...

Fucking dumb.

How are you feeling?

I thought last night went well.

Hmm?

No, I don't vibe with this place,

and I don't trust Tiina.

Fern!

Fern, did you know that ferns are actually the oldest

plants on Earth?

Listen to me.

Yeah.

I'm going to head back.

So you do you, alright?

Hey, hey, not my place to say anything,

so you know, I won't.

But you probably want to do something,

you probably want to put a little effort into this.

Just saying, you know.

No, you're right, right. It's not your place.

Have fun, man.

Yeah, cool, cool.

Yes!

This is exactly how he makes me feel.

You like?

Uh-huh.

Maybe there's something in here for you.

I think it's okay.

Don't worry about it.

Ana! Wait, wait, wait!

Where's Justin?

He's out there, still.

At least he's trying.

Did you go out there? What did you get?

The fuck?

Fuck you!

- Valuable. - Fucking asshole.

Valuable.

I thought it symbolized how valuable you are to me.

Okay, you guys, I'm done with this shit.

I need alcohol like right now.

Yeah.

Yeah, girl!

I mean, this is Finland.

There's got to be booze somewhere, right?

True.

Oh! Oh my god, you scared me.

I was longing for you.

Oh, there you go.

Whoo!

- Oh, jackpot. - Perfect.

Ah!

You found the fun!

Pour me a drink, good lady.

Okay.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Ooh!

Wow-wow!

I miss the Frenchies.

You're obsessed.

Oh!

What the fuck?

What the fuck?

Man, fuck this shit.

These are fucking dead.

Hey, Blake, join us.

Sorry I was a dick earlier.

Oh, it's alright.

We're all going through a hard time.

- Cheers. - Bottom's up.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

Hmm! Whoo!

I feel alive!

Whoo! I feel good!

Okay, baby.

You wanna dance?

I'm good. I'm alright.

- Okay. - I'm chilling.

Okay!

Ooh! Ow!

I think that there should be term limits on marriage, right,

with reelections every four years.

And no kids!

Hey!

Is that poisonous?

No.

Mushrooms show the grounds are healthy.

That sounds wonderfully made up.

Oh, it does sound so sweet.

Look what we found!

Ana, where are you going, girl?

Babe?

Well, when you gotta go...

You gotta go.

Give her space, brother.

I mean, I don't know what else to do.

I mean...

I know.

Do you, though?

No.

Do you guys like fight all the time?

Yeah, but it's...

I'm so sorry, Marko.

I didn't know you were in so much pain.

You're where I wanted you to be.

What?

Let go of me!

Ow!

Justin? What the fuck is wrong with you?

Help me!

Lempo!

I called for help.

They're coming.

No one is coming.

Yes.

This blood...

is filled with Lempo's benefits.

We are so lucky to have you here.

Your presence...

changes everything.

You're fucking crazy!

Justin! Help me!

Why are you doing this?

Justin? Why not Marko?

After all, you're here because of his sacrifice.

It is said that Lempo lost her lover,

just like you lost Marko.

Doused in his blood,

she grew more powerful, stronger.

Just like you.

And now your heart is strong enough

to hold her full power,

to be a true vessel for her.

Fuck you!

You will believe!

You will believe.

Let's begin our celebration of lempi!

I won't help you.

I love you.

Stop it.

I love you.

I'm so glad to have found you.

Stop!

I love you.

I love you.

I love you.

I love you.

You see, Ana.

Marko wasn't in control.

You're not in control.

No one is.

Bring them back to me.

Ana, come here.

Get the fuck away from me! You're part of this!

No, wait, listen.

I'm Marko's half sister.

What the fuck?

They lied to me.

They told me you drove him to kill himself,

and I thought you deserved to pay.

But it wasn't my fault.

We got in a fight that night and...

I woke up covered in his blood.

They cursed you.

Who's they?

Lempo's followers.

The cult my family is a part of.

Ana, stay with me.

Please, we have to go.

Hey, I'll try to get you out.

I can't leave Justin.

Justin is under Tiina's influence.

She's going to use him against you.

He's too far gone.

I can't live with another person...

Please?

The keys. Fuck!

Fuck!

Oh, Ana!

Come out, come out, wherever you are!

Come on, hurry. We need to find her.

Oh, Ana!

Okay, keys, keys, keys, keys.

Okay. Where are the keys?

Fucking birds.

Inside.

Ooh, this is going to be so much fun.

Ana!

What the fuck, Lance?

- What... Ow! - Oh, shit!

Fuck!

Oh, you okay, baby? What happened?

The fucking stove.

Oh, that must hurt.

They keep it burning. No, I'm fine! I'm fine.

Frankly, I can't feel a thing.

Remember what, what Tiina said that couples do in here?

Yeah, no.

We must uphold the customs.

Lance, we have a job to do, okay?

Our goddess needs us.

No, no. We are what matters.

I'm your only priority.

Lance!

I promise, if you find Ana for me--

Yes.

And I will fuck your brains out.

We are almost done.

You dramatize everything.

You're so funny!

Margaret?

Ooh! Hello, dear.

Look who's here, darling.

Oh, do you think Ana would like it?

Who?

You've come to see my new work?

Caroline couldn't wait either.

Nosey cow!

No, no, it's not ready yet.

Caroline loves it, though, don't you, dear?

Margaret, what did you do?

I made it for Lempo.

I need to hurry, she's going to be here soon.

Move! She's dying!

What are, what are you doing?

You're ruining it!

Listen to me, you're killing her, okay?

You're killing her!

Killing who? What is she talking about?

Get out of the way! Go on, go on!

What did you do, you witch?!

You witch!

You put her here, you witch!

Witch! Witch! Witch!

What is wrong with you?

Ah!

Get off me! Get off of me!

I want you to see me!

I want you to see me.

I want you to be there for me.

I want you to be mine!

Get your fucking hands off of me!

Let go of me!

Fuck you, you possessive fuck!

Oh, my love, wake up.

Oh.

You did this, you witch!

Ah!

Oh!

Oh no!

Oh god! Oh god!

Oh no, Margaret!

Oh, Margaret, I'm sorry.

Margaret, please!

Oh!

Stay with me, stay with me, Margaret, please.

Oh, Margaret. Oh no, I'm sorry.

Oh!

Stay with me.

Oh!

I'm so sorry.

Please, stay with me!

Stay with me, Margaret.

Oh, please.

Oh, no!

Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!

Oh, fuck.

Ana!

Fuck.

Ana!

Ana!

Are you in here?

Ana!

There you are.

I've been looking everywhere for you.

You should leave.

Ana, what are you doing?

Please, I'm so sorry.

I was not in control.

I didn't mean anything I did.

Harper, get out of here. I don't want to hurt you.

Shh.

It's for you.

It's the life you so fucking desperately need to get.

What are you gonna do, huh?

You wouldn't make my daughter an orphan,

now would you?

No, no, you're not like that.

She already, she already lost her daddy.

It's just, it's just too much.

Where's Lance?

Lance stayed a little too long in the sauna.

A bit overcooked.

You know this is all your fault, right?

Stay back!

Ah!

I really didn't like you when I first met you

and I still don't fucking like you.

No wonder Justin made such sweet love to me.

The faces you and Lance did was all worth it.

Oh!

You're still a weak fucking bitch.

Fuck you!

Fuck! Fuck!

Ana! Ana!

Ana, don't leave me!

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry! I promise I will be faithful!

Can't trust you.

You're all fucked up!

Ana, please!

Please, I will change!

Ana, you can trust me.

Ana! Ana, don't leave me! Please!

I love you! Please!

Oh, baby!

I'll be back with help!

Ana! Ana! No! No!

Ana, please! They're going to kill me!

They're going to fucking kill me!

Fuck!

Oh, my god, baby, please!

God, I love you.

Oh god, please!

Oh my god!

Ah!

That was too fucking easy.

It's time.

Thank you.

Now offer her to Lempo!

Justin?

Yes! It's time!

It's time!

Snap out of it, Justin.

Justin!

She will be a worthy vessel.

Now, do it!

I know you'e still in there somewhere, Justin.

I know you are.

I love you.

I love you.

She doesn't love you,

and she weakens you.

It's okay. I know this is not your fault.

It's okay.

Okay, that's enough.

You are fucking pathetic.

Stop it!

Do it!

Justin!

Babe?

Please, babe.

Justin, wake up.

Stay back, Tiina!

That's it, Justin. No!

This heart is ready.

No!

Justin!

Blake!

Blake! I need you!

Please.

You cannot win.

Fuck you.

Your heart is strong.

I look forward to claim it.

And then I will feed you as a pittance to my pirut.

Help.

Lempo?

Lempo!

Lempo. Lem -

- Oh, baby. - Oh.

Come on.

I got you.

What happened?

Where is Lance?

Wait! Wait for me!
