Original subtitles

Help me out a bit.

Like this? - Yes.

Don't!

SUDDEN OUTBURSTS OF EMOTIONS

Based on a novel by ANNA-LEENA HÄRKÖNEN

Do we have time? - My work starts at 10. What's the time?

I don't know, where's my phone? - I don't know.

Let me check it.

Fucking hell!

What's it? - No, fuck it!

What's wrong? Hey?

What is it now? Tell me?

Darling? Has something happened?

"I'm afraid I have some sad news."

"Unfortunately you were not our choice for this role."

"We well keep you in mind for other roles."

Was this the TV series?

There will be other roles. - Come on. I'm old.

No, you're not. - Jane, I'm old.

You're not. Male actors peak after 40.

We have talked about this.

And you've had TV roles. - In Finland, yes.

But never internationally. Never!

I learned Old Norse for nothing.

You're a theater star.

In supporting roles. - What do you always say?

There are no small roles, only... - Small actors.

Who was the Hottest Cat in Cats?

Well, I was. - Right.

I could be late from work.

Take your socks off.

ACTING METHODS

JUSSI AWARD 2006

This is a catastrophe! Don't say anything!

Marko, how can this happen?

I can't say, but my senior colleague can. Jane!

Can you help? - Of course.

Their tickets are not in the airline's system.

We were at the airport already.

Anneli, we could have handled this over the phone.

How has anything ever been resolved over the phone?

This is the group to Fuengirola, AGP? - Yes.

20 passengers, wheels up in 2 hours.

Please tell me I made the reservation.

I'll get fired if Sarita hears about this.

It's here, everything is in order.

There's been a bug, you need to do it manually.

Here you go. Hurry up, you'll make it.

Thank you, darling! This is the way to handle it.

All right, let's do the next scene quickly before lunch.

Take your positions. There.

Damned be thee! Go!

Because of thee, I have suffered.

Because of thee, my youth flashed past.

Therefore it's best I go.

Farewell! - No, no, no!

Maria Andreyeva, don't go! Take me with you!

My darling, I beg of thee! - Moscow, Moscow!

Passengers to Moscow. Hurry, the train is... - Stop!

Let's stop here!

Mikki, are you supposed to be so up front?

No, but I have this idea: I could come here -

and put an end to this situation. - Okay, thanks.

But this is the key scene between Andrei and Masha -

and we need room for it.

Understood. Room.

Here? - Good. Let's take it from Aki's line.

I beg of thee... - Sorry, but it's a bit dark.

Should I have a spot to me? - Mikki, we can see you.

It's good like that. - Sorry.

It's good. - Bro, take it away.

Or hey, an idea! A suggestion: what if...

Instead of cutting in like this, what if I...

Honey, take of the sunglasses, nobody will recognize you.

If they do, I get anxious. - Since you don't have a film shoot, -

should we finally go to Rio de Janeiro?

We could do a longer tour. - I still might get offered a role.

True. Sign Pihla's card.

I'll take your lemon, you won't eat it.

Honey, everything okay? - Yes.

Are you nervous? - No.

It's just a preview, it will be fine. - No, it's not that. It's...

Or...

Honey, we've been together for almost eight years now. - 10.

Ten? Wow.

And I love you. I want to be with you always.

I've been thinking if we should...

Open up our relationship?

What? - Open up our relationship.

Just a little.

Are you bored with me? - I'm not, honey.

What? We have a lot of sex. We're in the top 20% of Finns.

Yes, we're active, but...

But we're bit in a rut. - In a rut?

Yes, in a rut. - We've tried penis rings, -

handcuffs, vibrators... You had that bunny costume.

Yes, but...

It's so heteronormative and monogamous stuff.

Where did you learn those words?

Well, many actors are in open relationships. - Right.

Leave me if you want to screw others. - I don't want to leave you, honey.

We're in our forties. I want to be with you for 100 years.

I love you. But...

We could be a bit more adventurous. - Like how?

I heard about this party where we could go together.

And try sex with other people.

Some shady swingers party at a dingy caravan camp.

No, no way, a classy party with creative class vibes.

You know.

The party is called Isle of Lust. - What?

Isle of Lust. - Oh, you've looked into it.

Yes, a bit, my schedule allowing.

But if this makes you anxious... - No, not at all.

I don't get it, I have done it by the book.

I've read relationship guides, spiced up our sex life, -

given him me time, given us we time, -

I've supported his career.

I've seen a lot of shitty experimental theater.

I haven't had carbs in 10 years, so what the actual fuck?

Did you want some? - No, thanks.

This drives me to semi-difficult depression. - You? Why?

I have no hope for monogamy if even all straights have open relationships.

What do you mean all?

Remember my mom booking her holiday from another agency -

although she would have gotten a discount from me? - Yes.

Well, turns out she wasn't there with my dad, but some Markku.

My parents have an open relationship. - Why didn't you tell me?

I've been in too much shock.

I'm so sorry.

You've been on break for 12 minutes.

The phones are ringing. So if I could bother you...

If you need a female perspective, I'll give you my mom's number.

No thanks. - Jane, your fly is open.

I'm going. - Yes.

Hello! - Look who's here?

Hi, sweetie!

Happy birthday! - What do you say?

Thank you. - You're welcome, honey.

Are you going to open it?

Hello there. Where did you leave your man?

Or did he leave you? - He's got a preview.

A preview. - You're late, you were going to help me.

Didn't mom come? - She couldn't make it, I told you.

Focus! Come on!

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday to Pihla!

Happy birthday to you!

Blow them! - A bit more!

Do you have a minute? - Sure.

Somewhere private?

No, forget about it. - But...

He just wants your permission to cheat on you.

I don't know anyone whose open relationship works.

So you know many people with open relationships?

Fine, I don't know anyone. But I've heard things.

You and Saku had your threesome. - It was not a threesome.

What's a threesome?

It's a boring game, a board game for adults.

Our threesome -

and it was not a threesome, and it happened a long time ago...

And it was a mess. - How?

Well, we were at this party and...

This girl started kissing me and then Saku came along.

And then things happened and then there was a little bit of muffing...

Little bit of what? - Oral sex.

But it was not a threesome.

And then Saku got jealous and I got jealous and then...

Saku lost his boner and when he finally got it up, -

and he was just about to...

Hey, thanks for the party! We're going now.

How wonderful that you made it! - Thanks for the party.

Oliver, it's time to go. Say bye to Pihla.

Bye, Pihla. - Bye.

Bye.

Daddy, what's oral sex?

CELEBRATION OF CONSCIOUS SEX

BY INVITATION ONLY

What? - Nothing.

Go back to sleep, love. - Okay.

Are we in the right place? - I don't know.

Hey, do I look like some geezer? - No, that's just right.

They're really picky about guests, they can turn you away at the door.

No, that's good. - Good.

Is that it?

Wait, honey.

What if you fall in love and want to leave me?

Honey, we agreed on this: no love, just sex.

And always ask for permission, right?

You look so lovely. Hey...

Isle of Lu...

Hey! Welcome to Isle of Lust. This is your first time, right?

Yes. I'm Mikki and this is... - Jane, nice to meet you.

Are you ready to explore yourselves as sexual beings?

I don't know. - Sure.

This is our program tonight.

We have many workshops, you're welcome to visit them.

In 15 mins, a workshop curated by Eva Schmidt from Germany:

"Fuck You", exploring the emotional aspects of masturbation.

Then there's "Holy Shit!" for those interested in excretions.

We have genital poetry, genital massage, genital karaoke -

and tonight, as a test run: genital laser war.

In the beach house, we have "Sing Your Ass Off" -

aka "the anus as an instrument".

But what are you interested in?

Well, where's the...

The sex room? - Oh, you mean our Play Area?

It's in the side building, but I don't recommend it for newbies.

Start from the workshops. This is where I collect your phones.

Jane, I can see you're nervous, but you're safe here.

Nobody will bite you. Unless you allow it.

All right, have a nice evening.

Don't worry, I'll be by your side all the time. - Good.

Should we get something to eat? There was a food truck.

Hey...

Mikki?

Mikki?

Mikki!

Are you looking for something? - Kind of, yes.

I'm Didi. - Jane.

This is Valma and Atte. - Valma. - Jane.

Hi there, Atte. - Jane.

I'm here for the first time. Usually I go to Smurf parties.

You know? - Sure.

Have you been to their Thursday club? - Yes, last week.

You said you won't go there any more.

You can't teach an old dog new tricks.

Right. - You like anal games, too?

No way.

Or like...

I could try, I've tried things like handcuffs and stuff...

Lighter stuff that came with Fifty Shades of Grey, -

which was such a shitty movie, right?

I haven't seen it, but my friends said it's...

Horrible female imagery and domestic violence -

and it paints you people in a totally wrong light.

But if you like it, that's fine, -

I'm totally open to everything and everyone -

and I have had many...

But I'm not a slut, that's not what I mean.

But I like all kinds of people, all ages, -

older people as well as younger, -

but adults, of course, I have my limits...

Calm down. It's okay to be vanilla.

What? - Vanilla. It's okay, you don't have to pretend.

What's with her?

Jane! Are you familiar with whips? - Not at all.

Come, try it. Take it, see how it feels.

Like right now? - Well, yes, now.

Good! Now you only need to try the slap.

Like right here? - Here and now.

You've come all this way. Just do it. Do you dare?

We have a strict policy of a safe space.

You don't touch anyone without consent.

I thought I had to... - You were to try it on yourself.

By no means on Esa's butt.

You've violated his boundaries in an aggressive manner.

Sorry, I thought with those pants...

His outfit does not give you permission to touch.

Of course not. Sorry.

I'm so sorry.

All right, let's go. Be careful.

Here you are! Hell of a party!

Everyone is here! - Where did you disappear to?

To the bar, I told you. - I wanna go home.

Now? We just came here.

Well, there was this little accident, I kind of battered this guy.

Cool, cool.

Let's have fun, so we will be invited back. - Fine.

Where to next?

All right. There you go, hello.

Hi there.

Has everyone found a spot? Great, there are so many of us!

Welcome to our workshop "Handbook for an orgy".

I'm Teppo and today in this safe space -

we will learn about tools in participating orgies.

You can keep your clothes on or take them off, whatever suits you.

All right. Orgies are a socially complex situation -

where your own desires overlap with the desire of others -

and collide... Come on, you can still make it.

Because of this complexity, it's important we learn to voice -

our own desires -

but also learn to recognize our limits and those of others.

These are the things we will explore together today.

Let's start walking in this space.

Keep breathing in and...

Exhale...

While you're walking, you can check out who else is here -

and who might be hot -

with whom you want something to happen.

You can also check -

if someone seems like someone you don't want to be with.

But this kind of person might offer you a surprise.

The next time your eyes lock with someone, -

be brave and approach this new acquaintance.

No need to be afraid.

We're all friends, no need to be afraid. Okay.

I see pairs are being formed, great.

All right, everyone has found a pair.

That's great. All right.

The next exercise is about recognizing boundaries.

You can't go to an orgy if you can't say no -

or can't bear being rejected.

Let's start touching each other, choose the one being touched -

and then stop the touch by saying stop.

You may begin. - Stop!

Sorry, it came out too loud.

A trained actor and his trained voice.

I was last in Savoy Theater, if you recognized...

Let's keep going. - You don't go to Savoy?

Stop! - I didn't even touch you.

Stop! - But I...

Okay... - Are we okay here?

Sure. No problems.

No problem?

Just keep going, thanks.

Sorry if I seemed a bit cold earlier. Didn't mean to.

Stop.

I'm also so out of it sometimes with the modern terms and consent.

We're both of the generation that has had to endure all kinds of things.

You're much older than I am.

Do you have an age limit? - Let's change turns.

Take the touching to the next level.

Make it deeper and bigger, now that you know each other.

Be brave, nothing to worry about.

We're finding new, great encounters here.

Go ahead.

Your turn. - Keep touching each other.

You can say stop or you can take it to the next level -

and give more to the other person.

You can study your own...

You know what? Unfortunately our time is up.

This was it. Thank you so much for coming.

Give us a big hand. - Oh wow, namaste!

Wow, six out of five.

A cathartic experience. What about you?

I don't know, I felt a bit weird in the end.

You had so many drinks. - I might be a bit drunk.

You did know they don't sell alcohol here?

Huh? Maybe there was a lot of ginger or something.

What tastes of booze? Cilantro, lemongrass, eucalyptus.

Eucalyptus! Such a difficult word.

Hi, sorry! - Don't worry.

Typical. - Gotta get some coffee.

We will be having champagne. - How come?

We're getting married. You'll be the maid of honor.

Seriously? Congrats! - Isn't it great!

Yes, but what... - The wedding is in August.

This August? - Yes, but no stress.

It's a small wedding, some 40-50 guests, max 100.

All right. How come you getting married now?

We just felt we want to commit fully and celebrate our love.

And Saku finally caved in.

I tried calling you on Saturday, you didn't answer. Where were you?

Mikki and I went to this sex-positive event.

An orgy? - No, more like interartistic party with workshops.

What, nobody fucked? - I don't know what happened in each room.

Wait, Heidi is there. Heidi! Hi!

Heidi is my other maid of honor.

Don't tell her about your orgies. My reputation is ruined already.

If the word gets around about my pervert family, -

Pihla won't have any play dates. - That's an exaggeration.

If only you knew how brutal other parents can be.

You get canceled for less.

Hi there! - Hello!

All right, maids of honor. Get in.

Is that the right size? - Yes.

I think this is it.

It's gorgeous. - So great.

The waist sits nicely, the lines flatter you. We can lift this.

Then it's great. I love it. Jane, what do you think?

That's lovely. Isn't it the same as the one before?

No, this is totally different, the train is 30 cm longer.

Focus! What will I do with you?

This falls down nicely. - Yes!

This is amazing.

The veil will sit nicely...

I'll just pop out. - What did she say?

Valma!

Valma!

Hey!

Valma!

Fuck...

Valma! - We just have to sit down...

Valma! - I'll call you back!

Hi!

Hello. - Hi.

How are you? - Good.

And you? - I'm good.

Good. I was just...

I saw you and rushed out to say hi.

Hi.

I'm on my way to pick up some... - I'm important and busy as well.

You wanna get coffee? - With you?

Or someone else.

Sure.

Come on in. I'll just quickly change.

Sure. - Make yourself at home.

I've only been to that isle a few times.

I know a choreographer who runs workshops there and invited me.

Okay. - And Arttu is a boring engineer, it was his first and last time.

In parties like that, you have to enjoy being watched -

and Arttu is not like that. And maybe I'm not, either.

It's not going to be a thing for me.

But in a way, the whole concept was kind of interesting -

and I met interesting people there.

Are you a photographer?

Say what? - Are you a photographer?

Oh, no. Not at all, those were taken by a friend.

Okay. - I'm a law professor.

Yeah, right. - Why wouldn't I be?

Well, cos... - Aren't you prejudiced.

What do you do? - I work in a travel agency.

Do they still exist? - Why wouldn't they?

And your clients are all retired? - No.

Aren't you prejudiced! We have clients of all ages.

We just sent a big group to Italy for a bike tour, mostly young people.

To the Alps. - To Garda.

Arttu went last year, he did this total HC bike route.

Oh, I see. - Yes.

Where's he now? - Arttu?

Yes. - In Tampere. He lives there.

I see.

Or was it him you wanted to meet? - No.

Okay.

Sorry, wait.

It's Mikki. Just a sec.

Hi. Don't you have a show?

We had to cancel, Kauppila has pneumonia.

Oh, that's bad. - Yes.

I'm going to order in, are you coming? - Erm...

Should I get something for you? - I don't know.

Sushi, tacos, Thai food? Korean, pizza, pasta? I'm starving.

How about that Korean BBQ, what was it called?

Jane!

Are you there?

I'm having a bite with my colleagues.

Ah, okay.

When will you be back? - I don't know.

An hour, two? - I'll be there when I get there.

All right. Have a nice night. Bye. - Bye.

Everything okay? - Yes.

Of course. - Good. Take your shirt off.

Now?

Just kidding. Wanna go to the waterfront?

Why would I drink water? I have wine. - Gimme a sip.

I had this naive idea in high school: If I study tourism, I get to travel.

I loved to travel, but had no money.

My first job at Kos was horrible. - How come?

As a tour guide, you're always on duty.

You need to be a therapist, nurse and a taxi driver for the tourists.

And if you party the rest of the time, you can't take it for too long.

Then I got a job in Finland and that's really good.

But some day, I want to live abroad again. - What's stopping you?

Well, Mikki works in theater during winters -

and in summer, he might be shooting a film.

His career is at a critical phase. - What do you need him for?

I live with him.

How does it work with you and Arttu?

Well, Arttu lives in Tampere, I live in Helsinki.

We both see other people, too.

Aren't you afraid he'll fall in love with someone else and leave you? - No.

Or I don't know. If he leaves me, it's his loss.

How can you be so self... - Self-centered?

Well, that too, but self-confident? - I don't know.

I don't see jealousy as a proof of love.

It's about low self-esteem.

And I can't take jealous people.

And love doesn't stop with falling in love with someone else.

Yeah... - Yes.

You can't love two people at the same time. - Why not?

If you have two children, you love them both just as much.

Or if you taste strawberries for the first time and like them, -

you still won't stop eating blueberries and raspberries.

But won't the blueberry be sad when it's not eaten so often?

Maybe it wants to be eaten by someone else for a change?

A brilliant theory. I can tell you're from the university. - A professor.

Right. Totally.

My feet are hurting.

I should be getting home.

Already? - It's past midnight.

Really? - Really.

Do you have a curfew? - No, I don't.

Want to go somewhere else?

I don't know.

I have this strict sleep routine and I go to bed early, -

and these light summer nights make it difficult...

Would your sleep rhythm be all messed up -

if we continued this at my place...

I can't do this! - What? Did I do something?

I can't cheat on Mikki. - Cheat?

You have an open relationship. - Only for the party.

He called you and you told where you are, right?

I didn't have time, I'll tell him later.

No, not like this. Jane, not like this.

I don't want anything to do with your cheating and mess...

This is not actual cheating.

I've seen this so many times. I don't want any angry calls.

That's so fucking annoying! Seriously, Jane!

This is only between me and Mikki, none of your business. - True!

But how can I trust you?

I've made mistakes, you own them and learn.

Maybe you should go home, think about what you want -

and how you treat people. Be open, find out about it.

Yes, I got it. Thanks, prof!

You're welcome! - Thank you!

Tell me something. Did you go to her place? - No!

Well, what then? Something happen on the beach? - No.

You kissed and... - No.

I can see something happened. - No.

Did you make love? - No.

Did you fuck? - No, we didn't fuck.

We totally didn't fuck. I don't know what got into me.

I just want to be with Mikki.

I've decided we'll go back to the isle and reboot our relationship.

Mikki gets it out of his system. We will both screw someone -

and then start from a clean slate.

That's the sickest relationship idea I've ever heard.

Go brush your teeth and go to bed.

Dad is working late tonight, see you in the morning.

I love you. Good night, kiss kiss.

Hi there.

Hi.

Jane, wait up.

Jane. - Yes?

I just wonder if this was such a good idea?

What's this now?

I just... - Don't babble. Let's screw!

I'll take these to the coat check.

You go to the bar. - Sure.

Excuse me, where's the coat check? - Around the corner.

Thanks!

Sorry, this isn't the coat check. - On the opposite side.

Thanks and I'm sorry. - No problem.

Hi! - You were quick.

Apparently they don't really beat around the bush here.

Okay. - She asked me -

to go to the private rooms, but I won't go.

Of course you will. - No, I won't. Or should I?

Go, go, don't miss this now.

I want to make sure you... - I'll find someone, no stress.

I won't go. - Fuck!

Jane!

Hi. What's your name? - I'm Erkki.

Erkki, can you kiss me?

Right now? - Right now. Yes or no?

Okay.

Thanks! - What are you doing?

Thank you.

Hey, no more. - But you said...

Yes, but that was it.

You can't have phones here. - Fuck you.

Hi. - Hello.

I looked for you inside. - Oh, I came out after...

Okay.

How did it go?

Oh shit...

It was... It was fine.

It was... nice.

Or... just okay.

How about you?

Get the fuck out of here.

It was wonderful. - Good to hear.

Listen...

What was this guy called you...

Erkki.

Yes, Erkki.

What about Erkki?

What did you do?

Why are you asking?

Well...

Tell me something.

First, Erkki kissed me here.

Then he touched me here.

He put his hand here...

LEFT FOR REHEARSAL. LOVE YOU XXX ERKKI

Hi there.

Hi. - Hello.

What the fuck? - Jane...

What the fuck?

Jane. Jane!

Jane!

Jane! Wait up!

Jane, wait up. Wait up!

Jane, wait! That was nothing.

Nothing? - Yes.

Was it a coincidence she was on the isle?

Of course not. - I might have mentioned it to Milla.

Milla? - Milla.

You arranged a fuck-meet with your secret lover on the isle?

That's an exaggeration! - Is it?

You were the one to give me condoms!

I did, yes, but we didn't agree to anything like this.

I, too, had a crush, but I did what you do in a long relationship.

I bagged my emotions and closed the bag.

That Erkki, you mean? - Fucking forget Erkki, we didn't fuck.

It was Valma.

Who's Valma? - Valma from the orgy workshop.

Oh! I see. Well, let's bring her in.

No, we won't bring her in. - That was a joke.

We need to continue. Where's Mikki?

Here! Just a moment.

Honey, can we talk later, this is a bad time.

A bad time? - I'm at work.

I'm working on my character and under a lot of pressure. - Yes.

You're always working on them and have pressures.

Our relationship is based on me carrying you and lifting you up.

I understand Chekov, but seriously, -

Mr. Tomato, you have pressures?

You have pressures of your role as a tomato.

Children are a tough audience.

Fucking idiot, I have nothing for you.

Hey, let's talk at home. - No, we won't. We're done.

How could you? - Jane...

Mikki, we need to get on.

Or did you still have something going on here...

DICKHEAD

Well?

Did you get a signed permission? - Permission?

I don't need one, we split. - Oh, why?

Not because of you, don't flatter yourself.

I just came to tell you. I told you -

so I can go now. As you can see.

Bye. - Hey, hey...

Okay...

Let's start again.

I'm sorry. It's good to see you.

Take your shirt off. - Sure.

Not here...

I will send you the hotel link. - Thanks.

Bye, see you. I'll go settle the bill.

Check, please.

You have one new message.

It's Mikki, again. Apparently you don't want to talk. Strange.

I won't call you any more.

I packed you things, come get them tomorrow.

I won't be home then. Bye.

Did you know her?

The barkeep? No.

But wasn't she cute? - Yes.

She had some balls, gave me her phone number.

Wasn’t' she a bit young for you?

Why? I've had much younger ones.

Are you going to call her? - No.

She wasn't my type at all.

Too bad. - And I wouldn't do that.

I won't make a date when I'm with you. I'm only with you then.

There's a super blue moon tonight. - Oh, really?

The last one for a long time.

I think the group to Kenia is fully booked, but I'll check.

This one is nice. - So, you live with her now or what?

Just temporarily, I'm looking for a place.

How is it? Lovely? Yes!

Gross! I can't stand other people's happiness.

Just a moment. - Look at this, this is lovely.

Isn't it? - What about Mikki?

I'm not asking for his permission.

He didn't ask me when he screwed the carrot.

What a wanker. Sorry, I didn't mean you.

Sir... He disappeared.

Valma and I are together, but we can see other people.

Okay. And you're fine with it?

Yes. I'm totally okay.

We don't want to tie each other down.

Besides, we're so into each other, we don't even want to see others.

What about this? - It's cute.

I actually need a dress. - I see.

Hey, have you found a place yet? - No, how come?

No hurry, you can stay as long as you like, but I was wondering...

Can I have the flat to myself tonight? I have a date.

With whom? The bartender?

No, Beatrice, a French researcher, we don't see very often.

I hope you're fine with it. - Of course.

It's just for some hours, say until 11 o'clock?

Is this okay, how do you feel? - Of course.

Talk to me. Are you jealous? - No.

It's natural to be jealous, you're not used to this.

It's understandable, but we must talk. - No, I'm not.

I'm not jealous, I have no emotions, I don't want to talk about this.

Are you sure? - Yes. I'm happy for you.

Don't exaggerate.

This is lovely, I'll take this.

I don't know. It's nice, but the weather is unpredictable.

Is it too much to ask for sun and a suitable temperature.

And how do you get around there? Are you listening?

Sorry? - I want to change destinations.

Again? - I have the right to do so.

I paid for the right. - So, where to then?

Somewhere warm, but not too warm, I can't take heat.

A beach destination with some culture.

How about Barcelona? - No way, it's a tourist trap!

A small, picturesque place.

A 100 km south of Barcelona... - No way.

I don't want anywhere in the boonies, I need good services.

And the children need a nice program at the hotel.

But no family hotels, jayzus, I can't take the noise.

So services only for your family.

What was that? - You heard me.

You have a strange attitude. - So do you.

Excuse me? - Such a place hasn't been invented.

Cheap but high quality, village but city, -

safe but exciting, fucking cold but hot, -

black but white, red but blue.

But... - Butbutbutbut what!

I can't take people who want everything. Get out.

I don't think you understand: I'm well connected.

I'm connected, too.

Today, everyone is connected. Get the fuck out of here!

This is not the end of it. - I don't care. Just go.

Bye!

Listen, Jane.

In open relationships, there is always relationship A and B.

What does it mean? - There's the main couple, -

the royals, who always stick together.

The other relationships, B, C, D, are subject to the main one.

Okay... - The A couple is the nucleus -

and the other relationships are on the outer circle.

So what?

Now is the time for you to show whether you're an A or a B.

You haven't aged a bit.

Enough of that. - Totally.

I don't eat meat. - Come on.

You just had mussels. - They don't count.

They're fruit.

You and your stories, they're just lies.

No, listen, mussels are fruit.

Fruit of the sea. I'm a vegetarian and that's it.

Okay.

Oh, you're already here. Hi. The dinner is not ready yet.

Hi, I'm Jane. - Beatrice, nice to meet you.

What's this? - Well...

You said you live alone. - I do. I didn't know she'd be here.

We've talked about this. You know I hate threesomes.

I have no interest. - Relax, we won't do anything you don't like.

Let's have dinner first. - You were supposed to be gone.

My plans changed.

Girls, you need to talk this through between yourselves.

Don't go. If someone goes, it's you.

Fucking hell, what am I doing among these kids?

Do you speak Icelandic? Unbelievable!

My grandma was from Iceland. But how come you speak Icelandic?

Only a little. I had my guide practice in Iceland.

What did you tell her?

Valma, I thought I could trust you not to play games.

No, this is a misunderstanding!

Please, don't go. - Let her go if she wants.

Valma, call me when you get your life in order. Bye.

Bye, darling. - Bye.

What the fuck was this? You totally embarrassed me.

The dinner is in the oven. - No, let's get one thing clear:

You don't spoil my dates. - Okay.

And you don't live here. - Okay!

You can't stalk me like some monogamy monster.

Excuse me?

Monogamy monster. The little wife.

What's with the dress?

You like? - No.

It's horrible. - You like it.

Did you have dinner in the oven? - I ordered in.

Come here.

Where's this scar from? - It's old.

I got this after high school. I went to a festival without a ticket -

and climbing the fence, my ring got stuck there.

The wound got so wide because I didn't go to the first aid -

for fear of getting caught without a ticket.

I had to get in for Mew's gig. - I was there, too.

Seriously? - Yes.

We might have stood next to each other.

Think if we met back then?

It wouldn't have worked, you had shitty taste in music.

True. - And you were like 12?

I've got the day off tomorrow. Let's do something.

Like check out that exhibition at the gallery.

I'd love to, but Arttu is coming to Helsinki.

Huh? - Yes.

So nice that you will finally meet. I'm sure you'll get along fine.

He's easy to be with. I'm so sure you will...

Like each other.

Hi there. - Hi.

Hi. - Hello.

You're Jane. -Yes, hi.

Can I hug you? - Yes.

Nice to finally meet you. - Likewise.

I've heard so much about you. Valma speaks highly of you.

Can I take the harder side?

Is it your... - Lower back, yes.

Did you see the chiropractor?

Of course not! - Then don't complain.

Where will I sleep? - Oh, in the guest room.

And how long will he stay? - Well, a couple of days.

Did you get a new bedspread? - Yes.

It's super wonderful. - Isn't it?

I'll pour this for you. - Thanks, wonderful.

Where are the napkins? - We don't have any.

Oh, the anxiety! I can't take it. - Hang in there.

Valma told me you're in the travel business? - Yes.

We tailor travel packages.

I just suggested rail tours to my boss. - Wow.

Low-emission train trips. - That's great.

So you're a visionary. - Don't exaggerate.

Want some? - Yes, please.

Well... - I propose a toast to Jane.

It's super wonderful to have you here. - Likewise.

Skål! - Cheers!

This is very full-bodied.

Reminds me of Rivetto and red wine nr 5.

Don't remind me. - Please, can I tell it?

Tell me! - Go ahead then.

Last summer, we visited the Rivetto vineyard -

and bought this hyper expensive bottle of red wine.

250 euros. - No, much more, 450.

Really? - Yes.

And this person to my left, whose name I won't mention, -

she pours the whole bottle into a tomato sauce. - Yes.

No way! - Yes way. The most expensive pasta sauce ever.

Why did you leave it on the table? I don't know wines.

Boor. - Snob.

It always works. - Tell me about it.

Hi, two beers.

That's 14,80. - Thanks.

Saku! - Oh, hi! Hello. Wow!

Hello, you there.

How are you?

Good, thanks, and you? - Huh?

How are you? - I'm good. Very good.

Hi, I'm Jane. - I'm Niina.

I'm Saku's old colleague. - Okay.

Or I mean... - We never really worked together, -

but we were in the same company. - Yes.

Okay.

How do you know each other? - Yes, how do we...

Oh, thank you!

I'm... - We got a nice booth back there.

Catch you later! Gotta bounce now.

Thank you!

Try these, they flatten your tummy.

It won't help, it's tight around my hips.

Why didn't you come to the fitting then?

I've always been size 6, your dress is faulty.

Let me. Or you could do like the rest of us and lose weight.

I won't start dieting.

I've been juice fasting for three days and I can recommend it.

It makes you feel so holistically good.

Don't tear at it! - Don't touch! I need scissors.

Is Valma coming to the wedding? - We'll see.

I need to know soon, the catering... - I told you, we'll see.

Or have you had a lovers' tiff? - No, we haven't.

A relationship needs work, but if it's so difficult so early on...

Then what? - Did you leave Mikki for nothing?

Fuck you.

I saw Saku in the bar last night.

He was hugging some Niina there.

You must have misunderstood. - Really?

Where did he say he was?

Tell me. - You're making this up.

What did he tell you? - Why are you lying to me?

I'm not lying, your man is. Saku is lying. - My Saku?

He'd never lie to me, he can't lie.

Karo, wake up! Your man is cheating you -

and you're busy with a dream wedding.

Forcing people to squeeze into fucking sausage skins.

It's was a fucking expensive sausage.

It won't fit, because you lied about your size.

Maybe I did, but you're lying about your life.

Why are you trying to ruin my wedding?

You've always been jealous of me. - Fuck you, Karo!

Oh, what a coincidence.

I'll send you the confirmation now, and it's all in order.

Have a nice holiday! Bye.

Jane! - Yes.

Do you have a second? - Yes.

Is it about your rail travel? - I don't know.

Will you get a promotion? - We'll see.

I have an idea for the rail travel... - Yes.

This is my niece Anni. You two have already met.

Poor thing.

You'll find a new job soon. - I don't know.

I can take a long vacation. - Yes, relax and rest.

Yes. When does your term start?

Early September. - Let's take a trip.

I'm going to Italy. - Let's go to Italy.

We're going with Arttu's sister's family, we always go to Tuscany then.

And all of our money goes into our cabin renovation.

You have a cabin? - Yes, in Nauvo. It's wonderful.

It eats up all our money, because someone wants it perfect.

Finger panels, custom-made cabinets etc etc...

You're happy with a mattress. - I don't even need that.

True!

In college, Arttu slept on the floor with just a sheet as his mattress.

My roommates were amazed at how can someone...

Now, you're wrong, this was not in Kallio with the roomies.. - When?

Kalevankatu. Sheet summer '95!

How come you don't remember? - How long have you been together?

29... - As a matter of fact, 30 years in October.

Unbelievable, 30 years! Should we have a party?

We should. You read my mind. - I always do.

A theme party? We've had the 60s, the 70s...

What could it be? - Lepakko and Steam Club.

Who was the legendary DJ? - From Radio City?

Are you leaving?

Yes. - Did you find a place?

Nope.

Oh Jane...

I don't know how to tell you.

This has been so wonderful. - For me, too.

And you're so lovely. It's not that.

You expected so much more from me.

Darling... - Don't!

I know what you're trying to do, but just accept this.

Don't try to stop me. - I would never do that.

You wouldn't? - No. Of course not.

I respect your decision. Do whatever your heart tells you.

But... - I wish you well.

Bye... - But...

I had fun.

Do you want a hand with these? - No, I'm good.

Now I remember the DJ. DJ Tixa! How come I didn't remember.

That's him! We need his number. - Let's google it.

I have always wanted for everyone else to be okay.

I've walked over my own needs. Where's my bag?

Right here. - Oh, thanks!

But I've decided I won't blame myself.

Everyone just wants to be loved, accepted, seen and heard.

You know... Shut up!

No more of that! I'll just listen to me and my needs now.

Let's cross here... - No, don't tell me what to do!

Well, okay, let's cross there.

Hi. - Hi.

A pint and... - Double whisky.

I see. - Yes.

I've also thought about how much time I've wasted on dating -

and trying to appear interesting.

I will take a break from dating and concentrate on my well-being.

Good! Thanks! Skål. - Skål.

Hi there. - Hi.

Jare...

You mean that Jare!

I'll just quickly say hi to him. - Don't go.

Just to be polite. - See you tomorrow.

See you. - That's 18.

Yes.

Dance, dance!

Please explain to me what the point is.

Hi. Hello there. - Hi.

Hi. - Hello, Carrot.

How are you doing? - Totally fine.

Like totally, totally fine.

Sounds like you're doing fine. - Yup.

Hey, no whispering in company. What did you say?

We should get going, there's this immersive theater show.

"There's this immersive theater show."

I know what zimmersive theater is.

Scoot over. Scoot over!

Let's talk about why I wasn't enough for you.

You want to talk about it now? - Yes. Now.

Let's go. - Be quiet, child.

Are you poor? Your clothes are all torn.

Your shirt has holes in it. - Jane!

Or are you sweating? Sweaty tits?

What's this? - I can take my clothes off.

If that's all it takes, I'll call your bluff.

Jane! - I know how to strip.

Jane, stop that! - Is there a problem?

Not at all, us artists here -

were just talking about art and I got sweaty.

And now that you're here, I'm even sweatier.

I think it's time you go home. - Don't be such a sourpuss.

That's enough. - She's normally not like that, she's drunk.

You don't know me any more, I'm like this now. - Jane!

I'm warning. - Really? Are you going to beat me?

Come on, bring it! Don't you dare?

You think you're so strong... - Let's go.

Okay, I got it.

I got it.

Okay, okay!

My friend is in there, I was going to stay at his place.

What? - Hi. Can I sleep there tonight?

Jane... Wake up!

What's this smell?

It's already 75 o'clock.

I can't get up yet.

Dad doesn't live here anymore. - What?

I don't know why I got crazy about the wedding.

Maybe I sensed something was wrong -

and started marking my territory with some... - Wedding candy?

Yes. Oh fuck, I'm so sorry.

Forced you to wear the horrible dress. - That I won't forgive you.

Good. That's good.

But I will never forgive Saku.

Are you really splitting up? - Of course.

I can't go on after that. Like you couldn’t with Mikki, either.

Yes, but I was just as guilty. - How come?

I cheated on Mikki with Valma. - Oh?

I wasn't honest to Mikki about Valma.

Never mind. We don't need men. - Or women.

Nor women.

Come here. Idiot.

You should take a shower.

Now!

Can you catch them?

Try to break one.

Who ran away?

Let's have some water.

Hey, hey!

These are ours.

We can travel...

Maybe here. - Who lives there?

I don't know. Now, go to sleep.

Hey, bedtime.

Please, don't leave the cereal bowls around.

They're difficult to clean if they dry. - Okay.

What have you got there? - Just some old stuff.

Has she cut her hair?

No, she hasn't.

Hello!

Hi. - Hi, sorry, I used my keys.

I rang the doorbell... - Don't.

No need to apologize, you still own half of this.

Yes, but... - I picked up some groceries.

I'm going to cook for us. - Oh, I'm going to babysit Pihla.

Oh. - Sorry. If I had known...

No need to apologize.

I should have checked with you. I thought we could have...

Listen, Jane... - You took down the poster.

Yes. I thought it's time to stop being promising young actor.

Already?

I'm a supporting actor and that's it. - No, you're not.

Hey, I'm totally fine with it. I'll put these away.

Which neighbors want to buy this? - The Forsbergs.

They want to take the wall down and combine the flats.

I got an estimate from a realtor, and the Forsbergs will top it with 20K.

Wow.

So we want to sell this, -

now would be a good time. - Sounds good.

The super has fixed this curtain rod.

This has been fixed. - Yes, well...

I fixed it myself.

You? - Why are you laughing?

How did you fix it?

I just did. - How did you manage?

Maybe we should go to the ER. - No.

If you have a concussion. - I don't.

I'm not a doctor, I've just played a doctor.

Not even that well.

You're very convincing. - Thanks.

There. You want a painkiller? - No.

Let's go to the ER. - Stop it. Hey!

I'm totally fine! - Okay.

Jane, I'm sorry.

Don't be. - No, let me say this.

Jane... Wait.

I had some age crisis, career crisis and every other fucking crisis.

I just felt like...

I was bored... - With me?

With myself.

I don't know why I lied about Milla.

I don't have a good explanation. - I lied about Valma, too.

I'm so sorry, truly.

Are you together with Milla? - No, I'm not.

She was into shibari ropes

and that was a bit too much for me.

You're not exactly very handy.

Yes, I have noticed that.

Hey...

Should I take my socks off?

Be quiet, perv, your colleagues will hear you.

No, no, I don't want it.

I'm getting my stuff from Karo's, I'll see you tonight.

See you, honey. Bye. Bye now.

Sorry, I thought you were at work. - I'm on my lunch break.

I bumped into Saku by coincidence. - Total coincidence.

I came to pick up my stuff.

Yes, go ahead. - Oops.

Why didn't you tell me? - We haven't told Pihla yet.

We're taking it step by step, going to couples therapy...

And screwing during lunch break.

And sometimes in the car when Pihla is in music club. - Hey!

I'm going back to work.

Bye. - Bye.

See you. - See you.

Look at him now. - I can't look at him and not see what I saw.

Serves you right for sneaking around.

You look so happy. - I am.

Are you sure?

We've been together for 15 years.

One slip doesn't mean we're bad at monogamy.

And we do have Pihla, but that's not the only reason.

I have this feeling that...

What Saku and I have is just so great -

little things like this can't break it. You know it.

Does your coccyx ever hurt when you do this? - Yes.

With your parents... No, sorry.

But that hag will fade away. - What did you say?

Step aside! - And then you go.

Hi, honey. - Hi.

Did you order? The movie starts soon.

We have time. - Here you go.

Thanks. - Oh my, what's this now?

I will tell you in a minute. - What? Do we have an anniversary.

No. - Did you win the lottery.

No, just wait. - What?

Tell me. - Just wait.

Honey, don't. Don't.

Jane...

Don't. - I got a role in the German Vikings.

Seriously? - Seriously!

Congratulations! - Danke.

Shit, I was scared. - For what?

Nothing. - What were you scared of?

Congratulations! This is what you've waited for.

I so have! And a big role. Stenbjörn Haraldsson.

Wasn't the Swede cast in the role? - Lundmark, but he was paralyzed.

Terrible.- Sure is. But honey! We're moving to Germany.

We will settle down, find a lovely place in downtown Munich.

Think about it, one hour to ski in the Alps,

Rome, Colosseum, Paris, Eiffel Tower, Venice - you name it!

We will have lovely weekend trips. - Yes.

And you can get a job, too, though I'm well paid.

You always wanted to work abroad.

I think this will do good for us.

We get to change scenery. We get to start anew.

Right.

You're coming, right?

Wait a sec, mom. Jane, the taxi is here.

I'm coming. - Mom, I'll call you later.

Jane is just leaving. To Rio de Janeiro!

Has anyone seen my charger? It's white.

No, she was never going to Riviera. Train and boat.

Jane! Mom asks if you'll be here for Christmas.

No, I'll be there for a year. - I'm sure you heard her.

What about summer cottage? - One more and I'll stay for three years.

Jane sends her loving regards. - Jane!

I have to go now. Yes. Thank you!

You're a hero.

All right, let's go. - Pihla! - Pihla.

Pihla's card! - I'll get it.

Let's go get the card.

Let me carry this. - Fine.

Careful, it's heavy. - And this one, too?

Yes. - And this one?

No, I don't need a woolly scarf. - You can get cold on the way.

I have no room. - Around your neck.

You're worse than mom. Stop that. - Fine.

We found it!

Bye, darling! - It was right there.

All right.

You have to go now, really. Bye.

Bye, poopy fart! - No!

You're poopy fart.
