YUGOSLAVIA 1991

- Good day. - Good day.

Bye!

- It's here! - Is it?

There it is!

- What is that? - A Christmas tree.

- What are they doing there? - Dancing around the Christmas tree.

Goal! Dad, come see!

- Goal? Who scored the goal? - Pančev! He did a bicycle kick.

- A bicycle kick. - Unbelievable!

Impressive.

I should work on my own victory.

- Pančev again. - What a champion!

7, 11, 28...

Go ahead, write.

There we have it!

Do you know what this means? We will become rich now!

- If we get it right. - You know what I'll buy for you?

- Red Star. - Red Star?

- Would you like that? - Wow, yes.

And for you I will buy the most beautiful red bike that exists.

Why are you so quiet? Dreaming doesn't cost a thing.

Wasting time.

You should ask your uncle to lend us money for a tractor.

I don't borrow money from anyone, especially not him.

You will give it back. There's nothing dishonourable about it.

Vera, don't stick your nose where it doesn't belong.

I don't want to borrow it. Even if we die of hunger.

- When will the cakes be ready? - In an hour.

Do you know how much I love you? You are my love. My desire.

- I'll kiss Mum. What are you looking at? - We won't look.

In front of the children! Dear God. Unbelievable!

Now I will kiss mother as well.

- Have a strawberry, sweetheart. - Would you like one?

- Let's put it here. - No, I shouldn't lift this one first.

- Have they been fertilized? - Of course not.

- That's what everyone says. - I know.

Mine are not sprayed. They are fresh. Here, try.

- How many kilos do you have? - Ten.

- I can give you 1 euro a kilo. - Come on!

- Here, try it. - Go ahead.

They still have morning dew om them.

There's no difference between this one and these ones.

How is there no difference? Try it! Huh?

So ten kilos at 1. That's 10 euro. I've got 7...

You didn't hear me. I'm not selling for that price.

Come on, take it. Don't mess with me.

- You can't earn this much later. - No way.

Children! Go get ice cream while your dad and I talk. Go.

Ivan, give the money back. You too. For you, there is no price anymore.

Feel free to find raspberries as good as mine over there.

Oh, good God!

What an idiot!

- All right. - What's up, family?

Uncle! Welcome back!

- Hi, Grandpa! - What's this? You shouldn't have!

Grandpa Lazar has brought these from Denmark.

Lazar, there you are! How are you?

- Let's have a drink. - No, I'll see you tomorrow. Bye!

- Come by later. - I've been driving for two days.

- Welcome. - Thanks.

- What is that? - Sweets!

This is gold from Denmark that arrived for me. He brought us so much money!

It looks like real money. Look, dad!

The overall assessment is that the inspection authorities -

- have so far managed to prevent the distribution of subsidised goods.

Organised supply, judging by the first ten days -

- is at least better than the previous system.

The inspection authorities have managed to prevent the delivery of goods -

- the most vulnerable citizens could get at low prices -

- to provide a minimum amount of food.

Let's have a look.

Life abroad, my son.

You are a lucky man, uncle.

You live in a Scandinavian paradise.

There is just one thing I don't understand.

Even after 30 years in that paradise -

- you still come back here.

I always love to come here.

However... I much prefer to leave.

All right.

A man must know what he wants from life.

You set a goal for yourself and then make a plan on how to get there.

When you have a goal, everything is much easier.

Look around you.

I see the same pain on every face. Everything is falling apart.

And you are a part of that, too.

When was the last time you got paid?

I get where you're coming from.

It was also hard for me to leave these landscapes, forests and rivers.

There is something powerful about it. But, son, it won't go anywhere.

I'm leaving on Friday. There's room.

Think about it until then. Don't be a pussy like your Dad.

Uncle, it seems like you have forgotten -

- that I have a sister in Denmark.

Dear citizens of Yugoslavia. Our country is undergoing major changes.

Let's hope for some rain so the drought doesn't ruin the crop.

That man from the electricity distribution came back.

What does he want?

They'll cut our electricity if we don't pay.

- As if. - Sure. They'll do it if we don't pay.

So he can come and cut it. And then we'll see.

Sure.

What?

- Hello guys. How's it going? - Good.

I can't work for you anymore.

I'm the only one who stayed, like some fool.

That's because you're an honest worker and a good man.

Do you understand what I'm trying to say? I won't work for you anymore.

- So what do you want from me? - Are you kidding me?

I want my salary!

I've worked for you for four months. I haven't received a dime.

Every day you tell me, next week, next week.

I've been waiting for next week for an eternity!

- So that's how it is? - Yes.

This is all I have.

Hey, Marko!

Hey, Marko! Are you kidding me?

What's up, son? Do you need help?

Okay, then.

What are you doing? Get that wallet away from me, please.

What is it?

I need a ride to Denmark. I won't ask you for anything else.

- I didn't expect this from you. - Neither did I.

Well, this isn't an easy decision for anyone.

Now is your chance to show that you're the head of the house, not just a man.

What was it called again? Nørrebro?

Sanja is in Nørrebro. I'm in Vesterbro.

- Is it close? - More or less. Half an hour.

Bikes, son!

What does Sanja say? Is she happy you're coming?

- I haven't told her anything yet. - You're out of your mind!

People live differently in Denmark. There, it's all tap-tap.

Use your head, for fuck's sake.

- Laza, what are you doing? - Wait.

I'll call her later.

Here, talk to her.

Hello, Sanja? It's me, Marko. How are you?

I'm fine. How are you? How's Mum?

Good, good. We're all good.

Listen, I have to ask you something.

You know, the situation here has become very difficult.

So I was thinking about coming to Denmark.

Can we stay with you temporarily? Until we get settled?

Are you coming alone?

Well, no. I thought about coming with the family.

- I can't house all five of you. - We can't leave the children.

You could bring Maja. Let the other two stay. A lot of people do that here.

- What happened? - Be quiet.

- Vera, listen to me carefully. - What happened?

You, me and Maja are going to Denmark with Laza on Friday.

Miloš and Ivan will stay with mother.

There is not enough room at Sanja's.

But they're big, and they'll understand.

We'll come and get them as soon as we're settled.

- Have you lost your mind? - Have I lost my mind?

Every day, you tell me to fix something.

To do something. To borrow money. But the problems are piling up.

Electricity, my salary, the crops. This and that...

I'm doing this out of necessity, to get us out of this ordeal!

I won't leave the kids here alone.

You think this is easy for me, huh?

That I enjoy it? I'm doing this for us, for the children!

I don't know how to create a better future for them here.

So you think it'll be easy there?

It won't. I know it won't. But our efforts will pay off there.

We'll educate the children. We'll secure their future.

- You go. - What can we offer them here?

You go. I'll stay with my children. You go by yourself.

With your children, huh?

Who do you think I'm doing this for? For myself?

For myself?

Go on. Answer me. Answer me!

Dad, I have to pee.

You have to pee? Let's go. Let's go, sunshine.

Come on.

We'll eat all the candy.

Come on boys! Let's take a break.

Listen. We need to talk about something...

Mum and I have to go to Denmark to find a job.

And because there isn't enough room at aunt Sanja's place -

- we'll come for you later.

Someone must stay here, to look after the house, to help Grandma.

We have phones. We can talk every day.

As soon as your father finds a new home for us, I'll come and get you.

You understand?

Miloš... You are my sons.

You are brave and strong.

Maja is only little. We need to take her with us.

You understand?

- But Miloš... - Let go of me!

Where did Miloš go?

I don't want to go without them.

- My means my. My, my. Come on. - My name is Maja.

- My name... - My name...

- ...is Maja. - ...is Maja.

- Go. - My name is Maja.

Good.

Mum?

Miloš said you'll never come back for us.

We'll come back. Of course we'll come back.

It will be just like Dad said. Come on, go to sleep.

- Did you hear that, Miloš? - Leave me alone.

And when you come, we'll enrol you in a good, beautiful school.

- Then you'll learn a new language. - And I'm going to ride a bike.

- Yes. - Me too.

Then we'll come back here every summer to visit Grandma.

- We'll also have money to go on holiday. - Let me go. We have to go to school.

Wait. Come here.

- Come on, we're late for school. - Bye, Mum.

Maybe they will forget me.

Maja, open the door.

- Open the door. Let's go. - I don't want to!

We have to hurry. We'll be late for the ferry.

- Come on. - No!

- Come on. Vera! - I don't want to go to Denmark!

- Vera! Come here. - I don't want to.

- Laza is waiting. - Give her to me. Come on.

Let me go! Leave!

Who's leading? Huh?

Who's leading?

This is for you from Grandma, so God can protect you.

Take good care of it, my child. My sunshine.

Son...

- You drive the first part. Okay? - All right.

Thank you, mother. Forgive me.

- Take care of the children. - Go on now.

- Take care of the children. - I will. Have a safe journey.

Goodbye.

- Good day. Where are you going? - To Denmark.

- Documents, please. - Here, these are all the passports.

- There you go. Have a safe journey. - Thank you.

There it is!

Copenhagen! Where Auntie Sanja lives.

- Hello! Where's my big girl? - Bye, Laza.

Vera, my love!

Come on in. Welcome.

Thank you. It's so beautiful here!

It's really pretty here.

The kitchen is there. I'll be sleeping here.

Your room is over there. Here is the bathroom. It's not very big, but...

A home is never too tight when the people are happy.

Can I call the children to let them know we've arrived?

Yes, so they don't get worried. But don't call Yugoslavia too much.

It's too expensive.

We won't.

Hello, mother, it's Vera. Can you hear me?

- Let me speak to her. - Give me the children, please.

They are not there, she says.

I understand. Send them lots of greetings. I can't talk for long.

Okay, bye then.

She says they are not at home. She'll give them our best.

Chocolate and citrus! Danish lemon.

Wow... A little dress!

Wow, it is so beautiful!

- Your curtains are so nice. - Come on and have a look!

This is really beautiful.

Your auntie will teach you all of this.

Maja, Hans Christian Andersen is buried behind this yellow wall.

- Let's go inside, Dad. - Shall we? Alright.

- Go on. - Come with us.

- I have to go to work. You go. - Okay, we'll see you later.

- Which way should we go? - That way.

How can such a great writer have such a small monument?

Shouldn't they make an entire park for him?

You're right, sunshine. She is so smart.

Yes. Let's go.

Do you know how to get home? Where must we go?

Of course I do! This way.

Did you notice Andersen's birth date? 2nd of April!

And yours is five days later.

That's why my life is like a fairy tale.

Here, you talk to them. Come a little closer.

Tell them that dad is here, too.

- No one's picking up. - Give it a minute.

Maybe they're in the kitchen.

- Well? - No one's picking up.

Maybe they're visiting the neighbours.

Let's go then. We'll call again tomorrow.

- Hi. - This is my love, Lene. This is Marko.

- How are you? - Good. Are you settled in?

We're getting there slowly. We still just need to find a job.

- If God wills. - You'll find a job.

I swear to God, you have found a nice wife.

Are you saying there's something wrong with me?

You are...! He's beautiful. That's why I chose him.

- She understands everything. Watch out! - Dear God.

- No, no. - Excuse me.

Please explain that it's a compliment.

He says it's a compliment. Let's get to work. We're in a hurry.

Okay...

I talked to Sanja. She explained everything to me.

But let's just confirm once again...

How much do we have to pay you for this service?

- 50. 50. - 50?

- That's too expensive. - Leave it, Sanja.

I get it. Let me talk. Vera, could you bring the meze?

Let's have a little bite. Everything is all right.

Yes. Here it is. Bravo.

Yeah, we have this for you.

Look. Yes, he is older but he is alive, don't worry.

So she is the one. Grethe?

- Grethe. - Let me see. Wait, let me see.

He is okay.

- Cheers! - Cheers!

- Cheers. - Cheers, cheers.

I now pronounce you husband and wife. Congratulations.

Thank you.

I ask you, Marko Petrović, do you take Grethe Jensen to be your wedded wife?

Will you love and cherish her, in sickness and in health...

You can take Maja over here... Wait.

We start with you. Get out of here.

Yes, just like that.

Yes. Ejner, hold her tight. Come on, come on!

- And smile! Nice smiles. - Happy!

- It's a good day! - Yes.

Marko? Grethe, try to make him relax.

That's it. Right.

And smile!

Marko... Look at me. This way.

Maja, one. Maja!

All right, come. Ejner, look up! Ejner, Ejner!

- Cheers! Živeli! - Živeli!

- Tivoli is open! - Tivoli? Stop that bullshit.

What is that, Tivoli?

That's because... We have this saying in Denmark. Tivoli is open.

- And then your pants are open. - What in the world did she just say?

You do know this is all just a game, right? Mum and dad are still together.

They must deliver the 500 euro in cash, the first of the month.

Until they get their permanent residence permit.

The Immigration Service may show up unexpectedly -

- if someone gets suspicious or reports you.

We have had one case, and we don't want that.

Oh, so close! Here, do it again.

Oh! That was close. Shall we do it again?

Wait, this is... Here it is.

Let's do it again. Let's do it again. This is it.

Did you see how dad did it? You want to do it again?

Wow! Look at that!

Don't be afraid, sunshine. Look, look!

It's 10 euro an hour. 10. One hour.

One moment.

- Okay? - No, 10 euro.

The salary is non-negotiable.

Okay...

- Good. - No, no. It's 10 euro. 10.

Okay, let it go. It's good.

1.000 dinars. It's fine, but...

- Okay. - Okay? Yes.

Right. And you can't bring children with you to work.

- No children. - No.

- No cleaning, not for work. - No, no problem.

Good, let's go to the car and take a look.

There's a bunch of different things. Gloves, paper towels.

Cleaning products. This one's for windows.

Right? This one is for drains. And then we have these...

You have to wear these when you clean. The Ugly Duckling.

- Here you go. - Thank you very much.

- Citroën! - Yes, exactly. It's good.

What is it? It's not cooperating? Wait, wait.

What is this?

- Don't do that here. - Be quiet. No one's here.

Are you thirsty, kitty? Here's some milk for you.

- Can I help you? - Cleaning.

- Okay. Just go. - Thank you.

All right, then. What do you think?

Maja! Get over here.

Good. Let's go up the stairs.

HOME NUMBER

Hello?

- Hello? - Ivan, can you hear me?

- I knew it was you. Where are you? - I'm at work with Mum and Dad.

- What are you doing there? - I empty the bins.

- You empty the bins? - Yes, it's fun.

Where's the fun in that?

We work hard to earn money so you can come here.

- Did you go to that Tivoli place? - No, we're waiting for you to come.

Hello?

- Where's Miloš? - He is here.

- Is he still mad at Mum and Dad? - Yes.

I miss Miloš and Ivan.

We do too. Don't worry, they're coming soon.

Thank you. Do you want some coffee?

What's he saying?

- Beer or something? - No.

You should have something! How about some candy? There you go.

Give him the money and let's get out of here.

No, look at that! You didn't have to do that.

Yugoslavia. Ejner...

- Yes, yes... Yes. - You, Grethe.

- Six. Okay? - Yes, that's correct.

It's good that you're precise.

I'll give this to Grethe. She's coming tonight.

What is it, sunshine?

What did you and I agree on? There's no giving up.

You are my little, brave Maja.

Everything will be alright.

Your father promises you that.

- Here comes the principal. - Hi.

- Hi. - Hi. How can I help you?

Maja starts school today.

No, we discussed that your daughter must be registered first, remember?

You go to the municipality and bring an interpreter.

- Remember? Yes? - Yes.

You're starting school today. Everything will be fine.

Okay! Maja starts.

Good.

Julie. And Malthe. Allen.

- Emma. - Yes.

Mrs. Svendsen? Lotte...

Sorry for interrupting. We've had a misunderstanding.

Can Maja join your class today?

- Yes, of course. - Until we find a permanent solution.

You know, Maja... We have a seat here next to Pernille, okay?

- Come with me. - Thanks, that's great. Have a nice day.

Your name's Maja? Take off your jacket, please.

Do you need my help? There you go.

You're sitting next to Pernille. Pernille, can you say hi to Maja?

Hi.

I'm just calling out the children's names. Agnes?

- Excuse me. - Hello.

- Maja's dad. Marko. - Right.

Your mum has prepared ćevapi and juice for you.

Be good.

- Can you say hi to Maja's dad? - Hi.

- Hi... Oops. - Well...

Well, then... Bye, bye.

Right. Let's get started on the alphabet.

The alphabet starts with... Emma?

- Ape. - That's right.

- And the next letter in the alphabet? - B.

- And which word starts with a B? - Ball!

Ball, that's right!

- Maja, do you know a word with a B? - Ball.

Ball? Yes, exactly.

My name is Maja.

My name is Maja.

Let's go.

- Come with me, Dad. - What are you doing?

What is it, sunshine? Huh?

Look, I cleaned this up. I cleaned this as well.

- You don't want a brush? - No.

You have to go to Ejner's. There has been a control.

All right, all right!

Yes. Come in, ladies.

As you can see, I've made the beds here. All right?

I think I'll go to bed. Good night, good night!

Lie down. Come on now.

Go to sleep now. Okay? Don't be afraid.

They are just three conmen...

Egon Olsen, there. Right?

In 'The House at Christianshavn', he's a mover.

And what do you think he's called? Egon Olsen!

Egon Olsen and Egon Olsen! What's that all about?

His wife is... Well, not Egon Olsen's...

Then the other one... She became a bus driver.

He sure didn't take that very well! I think that's them.

Yes, yes...

Nice visit. To whom do we owe the honour?

I'm Carsten. This is Frank. We are from The Immigration Service.

We're here to investigate some matters between Vera Sørensen and Ejner Sørensen.

We were here yesterday, but it seems you weren't home. May we come in?

Well, I don't think that's up to me. Come in.

- This is Vera, the light of my life. - Vera.

- Good day. - Vera.

We are just on a routine check, to see if everything is all right.

Well, we... This is my stepdaughter, Maja.

So we're all here today.

We are learning Danish. They need to be integrated.

We're watching 'The Olsen Gang'. Maja, say hello to the fine gents.

- Sorry we are interrupting your lessons. - That's okay.

Yes, you can call it that.

- Can we take a look at the bedroom? - Sure you can.

It's this way.

- That's what it looks like. - Right.

And... where does the girl sleep?

- She sleeps in our room. - In here.

- She gets scared if she sleeps alone. - Sure.

- Could you show me the bathroom? - I guess I can.

The bathroom looks fine. Toothbrushes and laundry for three people.

Right. Well, I think we have seen everything we need to see.

- We apologise for the inconvenience. - No worries.

- Have a nice day. - You too.

- Bye, then. - Drive safely.

Uncle Ejner deserves an Oscar! I deserve a drink in any case.

Ask him how we did. Did they believe us? Go ahead.

- Did it go well? - Huh?

- Did it go well? - Sure, good. Yes!

- Yes. It's fine. Everything's fine. - Okay. Thank God.

- Holy Christ! - I'll go pack our things.

- Did you take the book from the table? - I'll get it.

Hey there.

- Is everything okay? - All good.

- Wait for me in the car. - All right.

- Bye, bye. - Bye, bye.

Ejner, thank you...

500 for you, 500 Grethe.

Okay. Now, listen up.

What happened today was no good.

If the Immigration Service reports me to the police, I'll go to prison.

- I can go to prison. You understand? - Prison... No.

The police. Police, you know? Yeah, they come and take me.

For this, what we do. For this.

So it's dangerous. I need 3.000 euro extra.

Yes. Or divorce. No more Ejner and Vera.

No more papers, no nothing.

3.000 euro, or you go home to Yugoslavia.

- No money... - You'll find a solution.

Next week, okay?

- Do you hear the sirens? - Yes.

Soon, we've made enough money, so your brothers can come.

- Then we all go to Tivoli together. - Yes.

- Let's go. Are you cold? - A little bit.

- How are you doing? - That doesn't mean anything.

It means, how are you doing?

At school they eat some black candy and totally black bread.

It's probably just burned. I can't talk. I have to go. Bye.

Blue, flower...

That's Cirkeline. She...

She has some mouse friends, and she lives in a matchbox.

- It's very strange. - Hi, darling!

- Mum! - Hi!

- Did you have a nice day? - Yes!

Come, let's grab your things. There.

Let's do the buttons.

Can I do the top one? Because you always forget it.

- Hi. - This is Maja.

Oh, that's Maja?

What do you think Miloš and Ivan are eating?

Something like...

Beans, ribs, cabbage from the garden.

- Grandma cooks beans all the time. - Yes.

Elephant, fish, pig.

Good job.

- And what does 'abe' mean? - It means ape.

Ape? I think I know one.

All right...

- Go ahead. - Thank you very much.

And what does "gris" mean?

- Pig. - Pig!

There's Sanja.

- Hi. - She called me to translate.

- Hi. - She has to fire you.

You called Yugoslavia. The bill's over 250 euro.

I don't understand.

What's this? This is from when we were at work.

All right...

I called my sons.

We didn't have anywhere else to call from.

So what? This is a big company. They're loaded.

If that's a huge issue for them, then feel free to fire me.

Apologies. He says they called their children.

I get that, of course, but this is not my decision.

This is an order from my manager, so I can't...

She understands that you called your children.

And she's not the one to fire you. She's just following orders.

And the car keys.

- Are you mad at me? - No, not at all. We're not mad at you.

Tell us, how are they?

Good. But Miloš is still mad at you and Mum.

- That's okay. - Okay.

I didn't imagine she'd call her brothers.

Let it go. Don't get so upset.

- How are you going to pay those two now? - Sanja, let it go. Please.

We can pay that phone bill. Then they should let us work again.

It doesn't work like that in Denmark. I told you it's too expensive to call.

Sanja, I understand. I understand.

But if you hadn't saved your phone so much, we wouldn't be in this situation.

Oh, really? So now it's my fault?

I'm not saying it's your fault, but leave me alone.

How brilliant you are! Bravo, Maja.

I'm going to sell this. But don't tell anyone.

- Hi. - Hi.

- Work. Facade. - That's right.

One part cement. Three to four parts sand...

One-fifth of stone and some water. You're the boss?

He never went to school, but he's done this job many times.

And he's in a trade union?

- Are you in a trade union? - What does that mean?

- Maja, ask him what that means. - What does "trade union" mean?

Tell him to give us a call when he can speak Danish.

You'll have to call yourself once you learn Danish or English.

- What's your name? - Maja.

- How old are you, Maja? - Six years.

You speak excellent Danish.

- Have you lived here long? - One year.

Or almost one year.

Take a look at this.

This is for all the brave kids.

Let's see which one you fancy.

Thank you.

Congratulations. You're pregnant.

She said you have a baby.

- Tell her I want an abortion. - What does that mean?

Tell her that I want the baby out of my stomach.

- Why don't we want to have the baby? - Tell her what I said.

My mum wants the baby out of her stomach.

- You'd like to have an abortion? - Abortion, yes.

We won't tell anyone about this. Okay? It's our secret.

Pay...

Sanja?

I know that you have sacrificed a lot for me and my family.

I'll repay you. Double.

My children.

My children...

- Marko is that you? - Who else would it be if not me?

- How are you? - As usual. What about you?

We are all good. We are figuring it out. Slowly.

- What are the kids doing? - They're here.

Please, give them the phone. I miss them. I want to talk to them.

They don't want to talk to you. They're watching something on TV.

- Come on, boys. Your father is waiting. - They don't want to? All right.

- Never mind then. Tell them I said hi. - How is Maja?

Mum, I'm in a hurry. I'll call you in a couple of days.

- All right. Say hello to them. - Don't be upset, son.

- Hi. - Are you good?

Yes, thank you. Are you guys doing good?

No. Not good.

I... have two... kids in Yugoslavia.

Me... Britt...

Lend me money. 3.000 euro.

- No borrow 3.000. - No...

Come on, hurry up. I can't do this anymore.

I came home one night and took off my pants. I was dying to lie down in bed.

Then she woke up and asked, "Where are you going this early?"

I said I was going to work, went and slept at work.

He's gambling. Why would he do that now? And I think he's losing.

- Oh, dear God. - He's never done this before.

But he started here in Denmark!

- How much? - 50.

- 400. - Whoa.

Damn. Look what you just did.

Come on, you're last. What do you have?

- Three aces. - Full house.

Dad? Dad?

Let's go home.

- Where are you going? - What the fuck?

Listen. Don't use that kind of language when my daughter is here.

If she says I'm going home, then I'm going home.

- Where's Mum? - At home.

Did you come here alone?

If you hear that someone needs a worker, I'm here.

I can do anything. Day and night. Just let me know.

- All right, brother. - Thank you.

- One more? - Yes.

Bravo. Bravo.

- Well done. - Thank you.

Do you want to smoke? Oh, you do.

Don't make me kick your ass. You want one!

And you?

Oh, it's you.

I know it was you who called and notified the police.

I don't understand a word of what you're saying. I don't...

Shut up. If you ever demand money again -

- or if you threaten my family...

Please, please... Shut up!

Don't you ever ask me for money again. Do you understand?

And don't threaten my family. You'll get what we agreed.

500 for you! 500 for Grethe!

You call the police. Go on, call the police!

No police. No, no, no! No police. No money.

- Calm down. Right. - Okay.

It's good, it's good. Okay? Okay, okay.

We don't mention it again. Yeah, it's okay. Yes.

- Yes. Okay. - Okay.

We've received shocking news. Due to the civil war in Yugoslavia -

- UEFA has disqualified Yugoslavia from the European Championship.

Denmark, runners-up from the qualifying group, are taking their spot.

- Hi. - Hi. Did you find a job?

No. Nothing.

- What are you watching? - Disqualifications.

Maja, tell your dad what you've got there.

I earned this money.

- Where did you get that money? - I earned it.

- But where did you earn it? - I sold things on the street.

You sold things? On the street?

- Who allowed you to do that? - Auntie.

Great.

Just great.

You let my child beg on the street.

- Bravo, Sanja. - But she wasn't begging.

All kids do this in Denmark. It's very common.

I don't care about what Danish children do.

I care about what she's doing.

She's six years old, Sanja.

Six years old, and you let her beg on the street.

To me, that's not normal. At all.

Come on. She was just playing. What's the big deal?

- You too, now. Huh? - What about me now?

- We're all trying our best here! - Let me talk to my sister.

Maja, go to the room. Go play a little with that doll.

Sanja! Let her go to the room and play with the doll.

- Let it go. - You, get in the kitchen!

There's no need to cause any problems.

I'm causing problems? Now I have to ask for your permission to talk to my wife!

- Can I ever tell you something? - Can you tell me something? You can.

Just don't humiliate me in front of my sister! You're humiliating me!

- As you deserve! - What does that mean, Vera?

- Stop this right now. - So you want me to stop, huh?

- Careful what you say! - I'm fed up with you!

I'll give you something to be fed up with!

- I'm so sick of you. Let go of me! - So you're sick of me?

- You're fed up with me? - Daddy, don't yell at Mum.

It's all my fault.

Stop drawing. Stop it.

Maja and Malthe, what's going on here?

She pushed me.

Did you push Malthe? You can't do that.

We're not allowed to bully and push each other.

You all know that we don't do that. I want you to apologise to Malthe.

Maja... I want you to apologise to Malthe.

You know we're not allowed to fight here at school, right?

It's unacceptable.

So now, you and I must agree that we don't do that. Can we do that?

I want to sell my bike. Do you want to buy it?

Don't change the subject now, okay? Try and focus on what I say.

Tell me why...

Why do you want to sell your bike? Aren't you happy with it?

I'm collecting money, so my brothers can come here from Yugoslavia.

Ah. Okay.

I get that, but I think you need to discuss that with your parents.

All right?

It's no fun here.

Denmark is not a fairy tale country at all.

It's just something you say.

- What are you doing? - I'm packing.

- Marko! - Hey.

Are you packing?

- I'm going back to Yugoslavia. - But why?

You said that Miloš and Ivan would come. They still haven't come.

And Mum doesn't want the baby in her tummy.

I don't love you anymore.

We can't even take care of the children we already have.

- I'm sorry. Forgive me, I beg you. - Don't say that.

How do I start this conversation?

What is it, son?

Don't be so proud.

Can you...

Can you lend me 4.000 euro?

Until when?

I'll pay you back in six months.

In a year.

In a year?

I'll lend you double.

- Marko, is that you? - Of course, who else?

I have something to tell you. I bought tickets. Pack the boys' bags -

- and put them on the bus soon.

- What do you mean? - Just like that.

I came to Denmark to work, mother. I earned it.

- I honestly don't know about this. - Okay, make sure to tell them the news!

- They don't want to move there. - Tell them. We'll talk later.

Okay, okay. I'll tell them.

There's candy.

You've grown so much. My boys...

Did you hurt your knee?

The Danes would never have qualified, if they hadn't kicked us out.

One, two, three...

Oh, come on, Dad! You can't...

No, no.

You had the chance to make your last wish, Dad.

Don't you worry about him. He will live 100 years.

I only have one wish: To see my grandchild.

- We have a grandchild. - Not when we can't see her.

They have forbidden us to see her.

Dad, Miloš likes it down there. If you accept that -

- then you might be able to see her.

- Are you also in touch with Ivan? - I talked to him yesterday.

They might transfer him to an open prison.

He'll have some more freedom, and he can have visitors.

Fine. Then he lives just like us.

There is no difference. You're the only one visiting us.

We also live as if we're in prison.

I think, it's full. You know my password.

It's not full. You don't have anything on it.

- Do I need to approve anything? - Brandy.

He re-watches quizzes all day long. He knows all the answers.

Vera, listen. I might be old, but I'm not deaf.

- It's a nice day today. - Yes, and it's not too windy.

Just a little bit.

Quiet.

The ocean is quiet.

No birds anywhere.

I was working on something and took a break.

- How's it going at work? - Great.

Good? That's important.

Yes.

I'm very proud of you. Very proud.

You deserve all of this. You've created everything on your own.

Listen to me... As if I know, huh?

I dreamt about them last night. I always have the same dream.

I dream about the day we left for Denmark. You, me and your mother.

We're sitting in the car and I'm turning around...

And I see...

I see Ivan. He's waving from the window with sad eyes.

But Miloš isn't there.

And in the dream I always get out of the car, run towards the house, but...

My legs are heavy. I never make it to the house to see -

- if Miloš is inside.

Right.

But okay... What can you do?

Life. Life is strange.

This whole life passed...

- How could I make such a mistake? - Come on, dad...

- How could I not see that I'd lose them? - You haven't lost them.

- Why don't you call them? - What should I say to them?

The same things you just told me.

That you're sorry, that you're having these dreams...

- How is Miloš for God's sake? - Don't ask me how Miloš is doing.

Ask me how I'm doing.

And ask Miloš how he's doing.

Dear son, I'm sorry about everything. Forgive me if you can. Love, dad.

What happened, Mum?

Who called the emergency room?

I asked our neighbours for help. I think it's his heart.

Oh, dear Dad... What are you doing here? Huh?

- Hello. Sian Jones. - Maja. I'm Marko's daughter.

Unfortunately, your dad's had a cardiac infarct.

A blood clot in the heart.

We'll be back after blood tests and an ultrasound scanning of the heart.

- And that'll be today? - Yes.

- What's she saying? - They are waiting for blood results.

It's something about the heart.

My little Dad.

I called you three times. Why didn't you pick up?

- I was busy. What happened? - Dad's at the hospital. Are you coming?

- Why would I? - Because your dad is dying.

- And are you okay? - I'm not okay. How could I be?

Mum needs us. She didn't even know how to call 911.

- You can't punish them forever. - Who am I punishing?

- We are your family, you know? - Family?

I'm here, you're in Denmark, Ivan's in prison. Is that a family?

You decided to go back. No one forced you.

- Live your own life, Maja. - Yes.

Did you get his messages? He called you.

- I need to take Tara to school. Bye. - Miloš, I beg you. Don't hang up.

'Hjerte'. Do you know what 'hjerte' means?

'Hjerte' is heart. 'Sygdom' is disease. Heart disease. Say 'hjertesygdom'.

- Come on, repeat it. - Maja, I'm exhausted. Leave me alone.

- 'Hjertesygdom'. - Leave me alone. I beg you.

- Mum, it's important that you know. - You'll translate for me.

Even after all these years you didn't know how to call 911.

The neighbour had to call. What if he hadn't been there?

In peace, let us pray to God.

Lord have mercy...

We are praying for the retirement of God's conditional servant, Marko.

For the forgiveness of his sins, willing and unwilling.

For him to be granted a paradise settlement and eternal remembrance.

You can see how well it's going. I'm holding you, Maja.

I'm holding you, Maja. Just go.

I hold you, my sun.

Come on, Maja. Come on, Maja! Maja!

I forget a lot of things, but never his lotto numbers.

Neither do I...

Honey, come here.

Come.

- That's your aunt. Do you recognise her? - Tara, you've grown up so fast.

- You've picked really beautiful flowers. - I picked them for Grandpa.

Lucky him.

They're very beautiful.

Why are you crying?

Come on, now. Go pick some more flowers.

Dedicated to my parents
