Original subtitles

- Are you there, Mum? - Yes. Are you?

- Are you nervous? - No, why should I be?

I don't know. Maybe you think you're being grilled.

No.

I don't think I've kept any secrets from you.

No, you haven’t.

Is that our view?

Yes. Maybe.

I don't remember much from the trip.

Only bits and pieces.

But you've read my hospital journals

and taken them as a starting point, haven't you?

Yes, but there's nothing in them about me.

- So what about your diary? - Yes, maybe.

What do you remember?

It's been so many years.

My medication makes me forget a lot.

But do you remember anything?

I remember that they forgot you.

And that I had blondes on the brain.

Shit. Your blonde jokes.

It's good, we can laugh about it now.

Yes." He who never laughs, soon the grave will see".

Do you remember more?

I remember that I was God before God was.

The Goddess.

What about you? What do you remember?

PSYCHOSIS IN STOCKHOLM

Imagine that you have been a perfectly perfect egg in my vagina.

"Imagine that you have been a perfectly perfect egg in my vagina."

That's really crazy.

Now the paparazzo gets a taste of his own medicine.

Can't I film my star mother?

Okay.

But I also want to film my little darling.

Stop now.

I'm making a film about you.

I'm such a star.

"What do you love most about" ...?

What do you love most about being Swedish?

A: There's no such thing.

B: That we in Sweden are good at bragging about our solidarity.

C: That you can always seem like others, when you don't dare to have an opinion."

Mum?

Mum, are you listening?

- What do you choose? - I think it was bad.

Yes.

What are you doing?

Nothing.

What would I do, if you didn't exist?

Good question.

Hey...

Should I wear this?

You're not going crazy, are you?

Or should you put it on?

Won't you answer me?

No. Can't I just be happy?

Yes, but why are you doing this?

I didn't take a vacation to be cross-examined...

...by my beautiful, good...

...smart, overreacting daughter. Okay?

Mum. Seriously.

Stop. Stop.

Wait. What?

Stop. Stop.

Now listen.

If you go that way, you'll get to Dramaten.

It's dramatic, so it's not for us.

And if you go that way, you come to the beginning and end of everything.

Central Station... The train and the journey.

Look.

Thanks.

That way is the Ferris wheel at Groena Lund.

That's where we're going.

That's where your dad dumped me.

God, we look so much alike.

We're the same.

My little miracle.

What would I do without you?

Is he one of them?

He's really not that handsome.

I'd like to know what he looks like.

Can't we talk about something else on vacation?

I guess that's what we came here for.

No, to find a new dad.

Is everything OK here?

That's a good question. My mother here is in charge.

Everything is okay. Thank you.

So you don't need anything?

I would actually like an elephant.

Do you have one? An elephant?

- No. - Beer!

Yes, definitely.

It took him a while to understand.

So, what were we talking about?

Oh, is the little guardian of morality angry now?

"You're not going crazy, are you?"

- "Can't you take more medicine?" - Stop it!

Who do you think you are?

Eh?

- What? - What? What?

What do you think of yourself?

Can you answer that? Shall I tell you what I think?

You're rather juvenile.

You got that one beer quickly.

I did.

Can I ask... Wait! Do you know this one?

The one about the camel and the elephant...

Know it?

Sorry.

It went like this...

A camel and an elephant meet on the savannah.

"Why do you have breasts on your back?" the elephant asks.

"You can say that? You have your prick on your face."

Prick!

Blondie, do you know this one?

Mum.

What did the blonde do, who was sleeping in front of the mirror?

She checked how she looked when she was sleeping.

Politically correct.

People are so boring.

I didn't know Stockholm was so boring.

When I lived here, things were more... more fun.

Stop it! Control yourself!

How can I do that without a steering wheel?

I've been so looking forward to this vacation.

I don't want it ruined.

I understand. I don't want that either.

But hey...

I'm your mother, and you're my child.

Did you take extra pills?

Am I supposed to be a drugged zombie?

I just want to get out of here.

Mum?

You're not feeling well.

No... I'm feeling really well.

Really well.

Mum?

Yes.

If you're not happy with your mother, call Social Services and get a new one.

It goes fast after what you did last time.

When will you be my real mother again?

In an hour.

In an hour.

A guard is a guard.

Come on, let's go back.

Mum.

Your dad is a lifeguard. It was clearly no use.

- Mum, wait a minute. - We have to find a real guard!

No...

Please.

You stand here with pomp and pageantry.

Are you satisfied with the infinity of space?

Mum, come on. Let's go.

No, I have to test if he's the right one...

If I can make him laugh.

Do you want a father who's not funny?

Mum!

Do you know you're an alien?

We live on Earth. The Earth is in space.

And space is incredibly dangerous, but we live here.

We're leaving.

Vanish. We're all aliens.

All of us all of us.

We are all aliens all of us

You are and I am

You are and I am

You are and I am

Come on.

It's not because you're my heart

- It's perfect! - that you stick the needle in your heel

eat thorn apples

stick yourself with a wooden stake

that you don't know what you want

It's always something else

you can't explain

You miss it so damn much

Flowers like you only grow on

burning vessels

You are the purest fish born in

poisoned water

Flowers like you only grow on

burning vessels

That's because, within the event horizon..

...space is curved, to the point where all directions

are actually pointing in sight.

The escape velocity for when in a black hole's event horizon...

...is faster than the speed of light.

Hence light cannot go at that speed and thus cannot escape.

It is possible for two black holes to collide.

Once they come so close that they cannot escape each other's gravity...

...they will merge to become one bigger black hole.

Mum, are you okay?

Are you hurt?

Don't think that me and Grandma don't know what this is about.

Is everything okay?

Yes, it's fine.

Do you have a problem?

It's fine. Thank you.

Do you have a problem?

Come on.

People are such idiots.

- Open the door! - Stop knocking.

Then open the door!

Open the door!

I don't want to play this game anymore!

Can't you just unlock it with your fantasy key?

Now I'm going!

What are you doing?

Where are you going?

To Central Station. We're going home.

No, we're going to the airport. We're flying to the North Pole.

We're going to Central.

You guys have to agree.

Mum?

- We're going to Central and home. - I'm the adult here.

We're going to the airport.

If you don't want to come, you can get off now.

Have you decided?

We're going to Central Station.

- No, to the airport. - No, we're going home by train.

Are you coming or not?

I'm not going to the North Pole.

- Are you coming to the airport? - I'm going home.

We're going to the airport. You're welcome to drive now.

Maybe people go crazy.

I think you should take it easy.

- Are you travelling together? - Yes. I picked up tickets.

Your mother is not flying anywhere. Stop! Stop!

- Here comes Queen Elizabeth! - Get down!

- Let go of that one. - Mum, calm down.

Stop!

- Leave me alone! Let go of me! - Mum, can't you calm down?

- Get down! - Don't take anything else from me!

- Don't shout. Come on. Quiet. - Oh my God. Mum?

- Drop the bag. - Relax.

- Relax. Drop the bag. - Mum, look at me. Relax.

- You fooled me. - I didn't fool you.

- Relax. Breathe. - You fooled me!

Are you going to hold her so tight? Can you let her go a little?

- Calm down. - Breathe.

- So. - Now we'll do it like this.

We'll move on, and if you're calm, then we're calm. Got it?

Got it? If you're calm, then we're calm.

- Should we do this? - Yes.

If you're not calm, we'll have to put you up against the wall again.

- Good. - Then we'll walk for a while.

Quiet and calm.

Like this, yes. It's easy.

Your daughter is here, and your bags are here. Go ahead.

- You fooled me. - Mum, I didn't fool you.

- Let go! - Don't touch her.

You and your fucking cameras!

I know what you're up to.

- What the hell are you staring at? - Don't shout.

Take it easy.

Mum?

"Mum"? You're talking to the wrong person.

Shouldn't we talk before we go in?

I don't actually talk to strangers.

They're gossiping.

They're some damn gossips.

- Can I have your social security number? - Can I have yours?

Do you know why you're here?

The birds are my soldiers.

I can tell you that, but I won't say more.

Is this the first time you've seen your mother like this?

- The first time was when I was five. - So you're used to it?

Yes.

It would be a great help if you told me how it's going.

What happened?

You came in with two guards from the airport.

It was the geraniums.

Sorry, I didn't hear that.

Would you like to repeat that?

It was the geraniums in the window. The guards came right after.

It had nothing to do with me.

How have you been lately?

How have you been lately?

I don't understand what you're saying.

- I didn't understand that. - It's so good!

Amazing!

I want to ask you...

Can you tell me how it started this time?

Yes. She started acting strange already on the train.

What do you mean?

Sometimes it goes away on its own.

But not this time?

No, it didn't work.

You're not allowed to smoke here.

You're too young for that.

You can stay here now.

You did really well.

You did well, didn't you?

- It's not her fault. - No, definitely not.

It'll be good for both of you.

A fucking masquerade. A bunch of people acting up.

Calm down.

Do you know why the blonde was wearing a tight dress?

- Otherwise her legs would spread. - Now you have to take it easy.

You can keep the rest of that shit.

I won't tell anyone.

You'll soon get better, here.

Now we're going.

Okay.

What would I do without you?

Kill yourself.

I LOVE STOCKHOLM

Are the signals coming through?

Did you see her?

GOD BEFORE GOD

MY EGGS ARE NOT EASTER EGGS

THE BIRD SOLDIERS CATCH THE DEVILS

- Let's colour the whole heart. - Yes! We can paint here...

- Are you okay? - Yes.

Yes, Dad.

They're drawing hearts.

I got it. We can colour half of it.

How cute!

Excuse me.

Look. She has the same pen as us.

Let's see what she's doing.

Girls, we're getting off next stop. Remember your bags.

They're trying to find me. Now I'll stay here until you get there.

There are no mirrors in here. Everything is double.

Doubles.

But every thought can be a sign.

- You didn't hit your head, did you? - No, I didn't hurt myself.

Are you here alone?

Yes. I needed to get away for a bit.

- I had a physics exam today. - How did it go?

Not bad.

Was it about electricity and that sort of thing?

The exam was called "The usefulness of physics models...

...Limitations, validity and mutability".

But it's really about Schrodinger's Cat, you know.

Wait here. I'll get some bandages.

Can you see if Leif is at work today?

- Leif? - Yes, he's one of the lifeguards.

Sorry, no one named Leif works here.

A pizza. As soon as possible. With extra olives.

And a Sprite.

One moment. Mum, do you want something?

Do you have lobster?

No, sorry. We have oysters.

Are oysters okay?

Posse est velle!

- I fell over! - Honey!

- Are you okay? - Nothing happened.

- My darling. - No, like this.

It has to be proper.

- You're the one. - No.

Section 81.

Yeah, hi...

I'd like to check my mum's prescription.

She was admitted today. Room 1.

Let me see...

Yes. The doctor will talk to her tomorrow or the day after.

The day after tomorrow?

We're pretty pressed here.

But we'll take good care of her.

You're welcome to call again.

Are you there?

Can I talk to her?

God... so bright!

Some people just can't be beaten.

- Your turn. - Okay.

Five.

Are we going to do this from now on, or what?

I have to catch up with you, so I can beat you home.

I'm on your heels.

- Yes? - Hi, Mum.

So you could call, eh?

I've sprained my foot.

Have you sprained your head too?

It really hurts a lot.

You've no idea how dizzy you get from the pills.

The worse it gets, the more pills you get.

But are you feeling better?

I feel great.

The district is full of geraniums, so stay away.

Stay away from the geraniums.

They're full of shit. The signals go through photosynthesis.

So stay away. Stay indoors, okay?

- Did you get an injection? - They won't give me one.

Think about how stupid the average person is.

And half the population is even dumber.

You and I are so smart.

It's even worse.

It's well run. Neat and clean.

Or neat and tidy, I guess they say.

All this also means that you have to stay away from the devils.

We have to think about logistics and power. Above all, in power.

We are exactly the same, you and I. Exactly the same.

So one day you'll be like me.

That's insane.

Mum?

I have to go now.

I'm going over to a colleague's and get something to eat.

Do that.

She's opened a restaurant.

Hamburger. My favourite.

Okay.

Are you hanging up now?

- Yes. - Yes, yes.

Kiss, kiss.

Good evening.

Can you see me?

- Hello? - Hi.

Are you alright?

Good as gold.

But hi, what are you doing?

Not much. Just out for a walk.

Mum's sleeping at the hotel.

I miss you. When are you coming home?

I'm actually on my way to a mega-party in Soeder.

I don't have any feelings for Sebbe anymore.

Aren't you just really stiff?

I feel so fucking abnormal.

You're normal.

Completely normal.

I don't feel normal.

What did you say?

I just feel...

What's wrong with me?

Yes...

No.

Is that okay? I can imagine that.

That's my daughter.

- Say hello to her, everyone. - Hi.

- We'll spray your hair a bit. - But also some like this.

I wanted to know the colour, but you just went ahead.

Hi, sweetie. Hi.

Oh. I miss you too.

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah.

Did you swim today?

That was fun!

Yes. I miss you. And I love you.

Can I talk to Dad? Yes.

I can talk to you tomorrow.

Kiss kiss.

Hello, sweetie. Why aren't you answering?

You're going to help me control the bird soldiers.

They collect memories.

They fly up as messengers to the Goddess.

To me, so I can see you.

The most dangerous thing you can do, is to forget.

Don't forget that.

Remember it.

Okay?

Posse est velle.

Posse est velle.

Bye.

Hello.

I just want to remind you that without you, I don't want to live.

You are a miracle. And only mine.

Your father would much rather love his own children than you.

Your father has never loved you.

He's the best at anal sex.

You don't need any eggs, and he likes that.

Thanks for calling back when I ask you to.

Call...

Okay?

Bye.

Well, now...

What do we have here?

What's up?

Hi.

- What did you say? - Hi.

How are you?

Good.

Hello, hello.

What are you doing? Take it easy. What's your name?

Where are you going? Forget names. My name is Nothing.

Your name is Nothing. His name is Nothing. That's how we roll tonight.

Where are you going?

Home.

What the hell. Where's home?

The direction we're going.

Perfect. Then I can show you the way.

Because the party is also on the way home.

I want to...

- What are you doing? - Aren't you coming?

I just want to go home. Leave me alone.

Seriously? Home? Why?

- I want to be alone. - Why?

- Nobody wants to be alone. - I'm totally stiff.

Screw the others. I'm just taking you to the party.

What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.

- Have a nice, lonely evening. - Same to you.

"A nice evening"? Are you a gentleman?

- Everyone should have a nice evening. - Okay, fuck it.

I'm going to down two beers before the party.

Don't be nice. Be funny.

Was it in Vaesterhaninge?

Damn!

Congratulations on turning 14, my angel!

I'm glad I can finally celebrate you in Stockholm. Kisses from Mum.

Good morning. Breakfast.

Thank you.

- You're welcome. - Thank you.

Those straight brushes where you only take one at a time.

It didn't work at all. I was going crazy.

Well, it just kept falling down.

But it was still like clay underneath.

Yes. Far out. Totally hopeless.

Finally, even though I didn't have time, and he was waiting, I just had to...

Okay, I surrender.

I had to wash everything off...

...and start over with the old mascara.

You shouldn't sell new mascara.

Are you looking for a stone?

Yes. Preferably a purple one.

For your mother?

What did you say?

I saw you guys walking past, the other day.

Yeah.

The energy.

I WAS AN ATHEIST, TIL I REALIZED I WAS GOD!

Well, I was the opposite of hopeful. But... I get so tired.

You know, the one I told you about before?

He said:

"Are you riding your bike here in a floral dress?"

He was completely surprised. What had he expected?

Mascara that runs? A hoodie pulled down over the eyes?

"Hey, I'm super depressed." You know what people think.

Yes, I know exactly what people are thinking.

I can read people's minds.

- Nice. - It's like having a mind laser.

I'm fuelled with a laser. People...

think strangely.

Do you want a magic stone?

Yes, of course.

- It's magic. - Yes.

Do you put it under your pillow?

No...

I think you should keep it close to your heart or something.

Does that mean you find God?

I thought you were smarter than God.

So he's going to find me instead?

That's right.

It's a galaxy.

Who are you playing against?

Fuck you, motherfuckers!

20 millilitre galaxy.

Galaxies don't break up.

They've been there since the beginning. Like trees, only in reverse.

Now there's an earthquake.

GOD BEFORE GOD!

Do you know how much a room costs per night?

I'm checking out soon anyway.

Several thousand. That's a long way off.

What exactly is your diagnosis?

I work here.

You knew that.

Yes.

What exactly is your diagnosis?

I'm a little sad.

And you?

Depressed.

What about you?

Goddess.

Yes.

It's hard to handle.

But they don't fool me.

Do you know why there are no mirrors in this hotel?

So we don't run away.

That was good.

Hi.

My daughter was supposed to be prime minister and eat all the Taliban.

But instead she became the guardian of morality.

Hello!

Hello!

Can we get some service?

- Where's the staff? - You don't have to shout.

I'm going to kill myself now!

There you are.

You have to create a counter here. We're going out.

We're going out.

Bye.

Second floor.

It's most likely the product of the fusion of two stars that died a long time ago.

After billions of years circling around each other...

gradually losing their energy, the stars finally rose from the dead...

and merged.

And in a near future their lives could finally end...

...with a huge bang.

How do you define a species?

What distinguishes one species from another?

These are often vague concepts.

Nevertheless this kind of categorization...

....and classification is necessary to understand evolution.

But how are species related to each other?

This is attempted to be answered via systems theory.

Then we can construct a tree of life.

You want to describe the relationship...

- Will you help me down? - Yes, of course.

- Should I... I can take... - Yes. We do it like this.

What's your name?

Cora.

Can you ride a bike with that foot?

Yes. I don't really have that much pain.

- Will you help me? - Yes.

Oops. Sorry!

You're popular.

- It's just my Mum. - Does she always text this much?

No, not so much here.

- Does she get mad when you don't answer? - No, she's in the hospital.

Oh no. Is she dying?

Not at all.

Hello. It's your mother. I just want to ask you one thing.

Go to hell.

G, O, space, T, O, space...

H, E, L, L. Go to hell. Okay. Goodbye.

Would you like to get on?

- Can you do it? - Yes.

Okay, wait a minute.

It's hard with the crutches.

Damn it!

Wow! It flew far!

Have you ever fainted on purpose?

Five.

Four.

Three.

Two.

One. Zero.

Hey... Hello!

Wake up.

Hello. Hello!

Listen.

- Hello. Hey! - Shit.

Hello. Hey!

Don't you want to wake up?

- Are you okay over there? - Yes, we're fine.

What are you doing?

- Hurry up. - Are you completely sick in the head?

We just had to try something. It worked.

- How are you feeling, really? - Fucking fantastic.

- That's not how you do it, okay? - How cool was that.

- Get help. - What's wrong with him?

- Ridiculous kids. - Ridiculous adults.

What's wrong with those people?

How does it feel?

Now I understand what you mean by the colours.

What are you doing?

Just something. You'll see.

Come in. Come in.

- Is that your boat? - Yes, of course.

- I don't think so. - Yes.

I've lived here almost my whole life.

Sure.

Look here. My other self.

Good. But you're just missing...

I've missed wearing this hat.

I'm in. We're going to... We're going to the USA!

Which city?

Albuquerque?

Did you make these?

Yes, I did.

They're super cool.

Thanks.

You'll have to teach me.

This one looks like Jupiter.

So it does!

Wow. It really does.

Look.

What's with the eggs and stuff?

She believes they stole eggs from her during an abdominal operation...

...and used them for in vitro fertilization.

Such is life.

So what about your father?

I've never met him, but he lives here in Stockholm.

Never, ever?

No.

I send letters to him from time to time.

But he sends them back unopened.

I don't even know what he looks like.

He said he didn't want to have children with...

...a crazy witch like my mother.

Mum knew if she had an abortion, she'd never get pregnant again.

Shit.

She couldn't really get pregnant in the first place...

So in a way, I'm kind of a miracle.

My mother called me a miracle too.

Would you like a taste?

Yes, please.

All I know is that my father is a lifeguard and married to a doctor.

Who told you that?

My mother.

Doctors marry other doctors.

Not lifeguards.

Sometimes I get tired of the things that happen to me...

don't kill me...

...but only make me stronger.

I've never told anyone this.

Have you?

Hello.

It's not because you are my heart

that you stick a needle in your heel

eat prickly pears

stick yourself with a wooden stake

that you don't know what you will.

It's always something else

you can't explain

you miss it so damn much.

Flowers like you only grow on

burning vessels.

You are the purest fish born in

poisoned water.

Flowers like you only grow

on burning vessels.

Flowers like you only grow

on burning vessels.

You are the brightest lightning.

Hi.

I know it's not visiting hours now...

But I'll be back home soon. I want to visit Mum first.

Are you going home?

Yes. It was my birthday yesterday.

Thanks. Is she feeling better?

Yes.

Hi, Mum.

Hi.

What happened?

I fell when they...

When they were going to strap me in.

You fell?

Excuse me.

I was up last night walking around with my umbrella, and then...

There were...

four of them.

And...?

But I've been up all night and called my soldiers.

The bird soldiers. So they can protect you.

Should we do something? Have you had breakfast?

No.

Then let's eat something.

Come on.

I don't feel that hungry.

You need something to eat.

Fucking blonde.

Hello?

Are you even here?

Can't you at least pretend to be interested in this?

They've removed the Ferris wheel.

In Groena Lund.

What did you say?

I was there for my birthday yesterday...

...and they'd removed the Ferris wheel.

There's only a small one now.

A Ferris wheel for children.

Sweetheart...

A belated happy birthday.

Thank you.

Excuse me!

Why don't you answer?

Hello!

What kind of a shithole is this?

What the hell have you lot put in me?

Now you're going to be quiet and go back to your room.

Will you go back to your...

Excuse me... What the hell are you doing?

Why is she so over-medicated? She can barely walk!

And why was she strapped down, so she wet the bed?

Seriously! That's really sick.

Don't just sit there. Do something!

Can you see? Can you think?

That's really sick!

This isn't really about us.

If she goes back to her room, you can come with me.

Why?

So do something!

You'd rather I killed myself, too.

Even my own daughter has the Devil in her.

Even my own daughter has the Devil...

Come here.

She's got the Devil in her!

Even my daughter!

I know it's not fun to watch.

- Do you want a cup of coffee? - No.

Something else?

That juice.

Here you are.

Hi. I was going to call.

I'm just on my way home now.

Sorry I slipped up this morning.

Are you going home already?

How's your mother?

She's sleeping.

And what about you?

Me? Yeah... How am I feeling?

I knew that yesterday, but it has changed a few times since then.

It was great hanging out with you yesterday.

Yeah, for me too.

I got pretty full at the end.

Where are you now? Did you go to your father?

No! What do you think of me? I wouldn't do that.

You say, that you can do whatever you want.

No. It's my mother, who says that. Not me.

Hello.

Hey... Come here.

Hello, little soldier.

Hello. Come on.

Are you flying after me?

Are you flying around collecting memories?

Imagine that you have been inside me, and that I am your mother!

You didn't know if you could keep me after birth, did you?

No. The authorities were considering giving you away.

Imagine if they'd given me to someone else.

Oh my God. Then I'd have been really sick.

Yeah.

And then you wouldn't have been feeling well.

Then you wouldn't have had a funny mother.

You would have had a... bore.

A rich, boring, square person.

"Posse est velle" is Latin in the Visigothic dialect.

And that means... "You can do whatever you want."

And I've always told you that.

It was lucky for you that you came to me.

I never wanted to have another mother.

I'm proud of that.

But there's a lot that's just coincidence.

- No, it's fate. - Is it fate?

I think that it was a pure coincidence...

...that I met your father.

But maybe it was fate too?

Otherwise you wouldn't have had me.

No. Well, that was fate.
