I think... I like to think...

I like to think of myself as a giving person.

And I probably just like the idea that

there's a part of me out there somewhere.

Should I say something to them?

Hello!

I hope you are loved.

I think you are, because your parent or parents went through a lot to have you.

Life is going to be good.

And bad.

So...

Good luck!

SOLOMAMMA

Hi, Edith!

- Hi! - Sigurd is outside.

- Ok. But Anders, I was wondering... - What?

Did you get a chance to hand out the books I gave you?

The ones about Karla.

Karla? Yes, I did.

That's great! Did you read them too?

Yes. I mean, I'm not sure exactly...

I'm not sure how far everyone got.

But they're working on it.

But you've read them?

- Not yet. - I'm going to make so many of these!

I want to do that too! Like that, yes!

Can I have one of those?

Wow, is that your cake!

What do you want for dinner?

- Salmon and sweet potato! - Yes! That sounds delicious.

Why is it always you picking up Sigurd?

- Is his dad dead? - No!

- Is he in prison? - No, but you know what?

When I wanted to make Sigurd, there were no available daddies.

- So I went to the hospital... - Everyone has a dad.

Kids don't care what's normal.

That's what I thought, but children need a language too.

When adults don't explain things, kids make up their own stories.

It's time you started hanging out with grownups, Edith.

You know you can date even if you have a kid, right?

What's your donor book about? "Karla has no dad, and it's awesome"?

Yes, that sums it up.

It should be about not needing to be two in every decision.

Was that comment for me?

Maybe you should do everything yourself?

- Why didn't I think of that? - And now it's too late.

But speaking of donors...

You've never told us what you know about yours.

- If I'm allowed to ask. - Of course you can.

I think it's a boring question.

- I ask with no prejudice. - It's alright.

It's like a journal where they describe themselves.

- Hobbies, favourite food. - You have that recording.

- Recording? - Of the donor talking to a psychologist.

I didn't know about that.

Do you still think of him as anonymous?

I don't know his name or address or anything.

And I don't want to know. He's just a donor.

- What if a donor is lying? - No one would do that.

If it was me, I would just make up stuff to get chosen.

I'd say I got straight A's in school and was the fastest runner.

A psychologist would know if you were lying.

"Psychologist". If you're clever, you get away with it.

Some young guy wanting to pass on his genes, make a bit of money.

You're considering donating?

Some of them are eighteen. Their frontal lobes aren't fully developed.

Is this the same wine as before?

It's just crazy to think about. Sigurd is 50 percent of his donor.

But who would do that?

- I watched a YouTube video. - How fun!

Remember I told you?

This woman in the US discovered that her donor was schizophrenic.

- Torbjørn. - I'm not saying...

- I'm just asking! - There's mommy!

- Hello! - Hi, Trine!

- Pizza! Can I have some? - Give me a big hug first.

This looks nice.

- This is Marie and Torbjørn. - Trine

- You remember Selma from last year. - Good to see you again.

Trine and I met when we found out that Sigurd and Amanda were half-siblings.

- Did you have fun? - Yes.

This was so nice.

I can't fit the bike wheel I found.

I want a new toy box. Amanda has one.

But she's not using it.

It just stands there.

Mommy!

When Karla's mother wanted a child, she didn't have a husband or boyfriend.

So she went to see the doctor and asked for help.

The doctor found a sperm donor for Karla's mommy.

Karla doesn't know what a sperm donor is,

but it must be a kind man, since he helped mommy have Karla.

Alfie Atkins knows where his dad is.

Sure, but he doesn't know where his mum is.

- Amanda has a dad now. - Yup.

- You like Amanda, don't you? - Yes.

Look at him!

- I want to read a different book. - Ok.

Good idea. Let's read a different book.

- Hi. - Hi.

Isn't it past your bedtime?

Yes.

It's late.

Let me look at you.

Have you stopped going to the hairdresser?

It's time for bed. It's late.

- Go to bed. - Yes.

Night, mum.

Donor 24897: Inuus. Welcome

Thank you.

Why don't you tell us about yourself.

I'm from Norway.

I live in Copenhagen right now, for work.

Am I allowed to say that?

That information will be included in your profile.

Can you tell us about your current work situation?

What are you doing right now? You are self-employed?

It sounds like I'm unemployed.

I'm an entrepreneur. Tech development.

Why did you choose that field?

I guess because it's what I'm good at.

I'm really into fermenting. Kimchi, kombucha, sourdough bread.

I just bought a mountain bike. I like to bike around the woods.

And I played tennis for a while.

But I wasn't any good, so I quit.

And what kinds of people do you like to be around?

People who share the same interests, I guess. Same values.

I was always on my computer since I was a kid,

and I thought, why not keep doing the work that I put in right now.

To be able to use my knowledge and technology in a positive way.

To help kids learn, for example.

I would also like to help people have a better life.

I'm a curious person. I like to observe other people.

It's kind of a passion, really.

I prefer asking questions or listen rather than talk about myself.

What are you writing, Edith?

Not much.

I'm finishing the interview with the researcher in Trondheim.

On genetic engineering.

And I'm interviewing the 17-year-old who's in custody.

Is that ready for Thursday?

Well, we lost our source in Nesbru yesterday.

He pulled out during quote check, so I have to start from scratch.

Petter, you're on the royals.

The confusion is worst at night.

She's isolating herself more, doesn't want to see her friends.

Wow, thank you!

So you have two children at home?

- Yeah. - Maybe you should call Kari.

Get her to take Dorthe out.

- How's Sigurd taking it? - He's so small. I don't think he gets it.

They're so close. I don't want him to be scared by how she's changing.

- Maybe take her to the doctor again. - I've thought about it.

- Selma, look what I got! - A zippo lighter! Nice.

We can polish it and put it in your case display.

- He's such a character. - An old soul.

I was quite easy as a child.

I'd sit and look at my older siblings run around.

I wasn't so interested in kids my own age.

Why do you think that is?

You tell me.

I like to observe other people.

IS AUTISM HERITABLE?

I'm not shy, but... I'm a sensitive person.

IS HYPERSENSITIVITY HERITABLE?

They called me Buddah, actually.

I'm not obsessive, but I go deep into things I like.

IS OCD HERITABLE?

Do you plan to have a family?

It depends on what happens in life.

I prefer to ask questions rather than talk.

IS INTROVERSION HERITABLE?

I like to think of myself as a giving person.

IS NARCISSISM HERITABLE?

I read really fast. I like to be outdoors.

I like to be in other people's space.

If you could change anything about yourself...

Probably a lot of things.

I wish I had less self-doubt growing up.

Do you ever think about dad?

Why are you bringing him up?

I remember thinking it was my fault that he...

...left.

It's strange to think about now.

I tried to make myself invisible, so he'd come home.

But...

Aren't we happy, the two of us?

- Yes, we were. - Were?

We are happy.

I went to see him once when I was twelve.

Did you see him without telling me?

Yes.

But I couldn't call him daddy.

He seemed relieved.

There you go.

He was never a father, Edith.

Pancakes and .

Bye! Have fun.

- Bye! - Bye, Jens!

- But what do you want for your birthday? - I already told you!

- You can't say "stuff from the street". - Yes, I can!

It's not for a while yet.

Pokémon cards or something?

Only if it's not from a shop, and it's old.

We can go to the toy shop later and find a gift for your brother.

I want something unique!

Sweetheart, I think it's great that you want something unique.

But maybe you're making it a bit hard for Amanda.

- Does it have to be from the street? - She asked what I wanted.

- Do you want to play ring toss? - Yes!

- You guys just relax for a bit. - Thanks.

They look more and more alike, don't you think?

No, I don't see it.

I googled collectomania the other day.

Apparently it's related to OCD.

Okay.

I've googled it too. It's not that.

It's genetic, apparently.

Were you like that?

- I don't remember. - It could be from Inuus.

- Let's just relax for a bit. - Yes, of course.

It's so nice.

I've found Inuus.

I know his name.

I had to find it so I could stop thinking about it.

But that's completely...

- Jens doesn't like me thinking about him. - Right.

It's hard for him, because I already had Amanda when we met.

But he likes hearing about you.

The sperm sisters.

That Amanda and Sigurd are like siblings.

I just...

He lives right over in Nesodden.

- What? - Yeah.

And his name is Niels Krohn. Isn't that a crazy name?

Well, maybe not crazy, but it's just so real all of a sudden.

- Bye! - Goodbye!

I think maybe we'll walk home.

I'm just in the mood to walk.

Let's take a photo first. We always forget that.

Say cheese!

Cheez doodles!

Cheez doodles!

- Cheese! - Smile, everyone!

Brown cheese!

NORWEGIAN GAME DEVELOPER REACHES 20 MILLION USERS

DEVELOPER FACES CRITICISM FROM MINISTER OF EDUCATION

- I wish I had less self-doubt... - If you could change anything...

Hello! This is your donor.

- Mommy, what was that? - That's just grandma.

She's weird.

Hi.

- Hello? - Niels Krohn?

This is Edith Westerlund calling from Aftenposten.

Is this a good time to talk?

What's this about?

I'm doing a piece on Norwegian game developers.

- And you want to write about me? - Yes!

I don't need another article about how I made kids addicted to gaming.

That's not the angle.

I'm writing about developers who've done well abroad.

Oh, I see.

- Alright, well... - Yes.

Where do you usually...

I could come out to... I could come to yours.

- I live in Nesodden, it's a bit far. - I love Nesodden.

Sure, if it's not a hassle.

It's just a trick to make you more relaxed.

I can send you some dates and times, and then we go from there?

- Ok, sounds good. - Great.

- I guess I'll see you, then. - Alright.

- Speak soon. - Bye.

- Hi! - Hi.

- Edith? - Yes!

Was it hard getting here? With the ferry and everything? Come in!

The floors are cold, so I've got slippers.

I'm alright, thanks.

You have to wear them. It's really cold.

- Alright. These ones? - Yes.

There.

Thanks for coming all the way.

Would you like coffee or tea?

I probably should've asked you this on the phone, but...

My daughter really wants to be a journalist.

So I told her she could listen in while we talk.

- Is that a problem? - No.

It was a bit of a coincidence.

I was never much of a gamer.

What's your role in the company? That wasn't clear to me.

I guess I'm... a consultant to my own company, in a way.

And I do some teaching on the side when I have the time.

So... Yeah.

It's a bit odd that you reached out to me. There are so many experts out there.

Who might be more... relevant.

But it's cool. It's fun being able to...

Well, Fruit Hippo was a huge success when it came out.

And that you were criticised so heavily after has...

I'd like to know how one moves on from that.

Yes, well...

I've really grappled with the ethical dilemmas.

That's for...

NAIVE

And during development,

were ethical guidelines something you considered at all?

The success was so much greater and quicker than we had imagined, so it was...

SMUG

I was in charge of the creative side,

I wasn't involved with programming much due to my dyslexia.

I remember discussions around launch.

We were aware of it, but the success took us all by surprise.

- So you're dyslexic? - Yes.

I'm not dyslexic.

Right.

- It's not heritable, is it? - I think it is. My dad has it.

- Would you like something to drink? - I'm alright.

- Or something to eat? - No, thank you.

Why are you interviewing him?

Well, uh...

- What do you mean? - No, don't.

Don't listen to her. She's completely...

Completely confused.

- Could I use the toilet? - Of course.

There's one upstairs.

It's not that big a deal.

This doesn't happen every day. It's not a big deal!

It is! I came back here to-

You're acting like this happens every day.

That's not the point.

The world doesn't end just because . - He went to school without any food!

- It's not that big of a deal! - We have to go.

Bye, Silas.

Molly is just getting a pencil sharpener. We can just continue.

If it's a bad time, we can do this another day.

OK.

With the rapid advance of technology, there arise...

...ethical dilemmas you have to deal with as you go.

I like to think of myself as a giving person.

I probably just like the idea

that there's a part of me out there somewhere.

...but on the other hand, it's also- - Damn.

- What is it? - I have to pick my son up from daycare.

- I'm sorry. - No worries.

I have several missed calls. He's really ill, apparently.

- Throwing up all over... - No worries.

You probably didn't get everything you needed?

Let's see. I'm really sorry.

I know what it's like to have kids.

Thank you. No need to walk me out.

- You'll be in touch, then? - Yes.

Are you leaving?

My son is sick, so I have to-

I have a few questions for you for a school assignment.

It'll only take a minute.

Questions like, "What does it take to be a journalist?"

"How many hours do you work in a typical day?"

"How do you get an internship?"

Molly! Edith has to go.

But maybe we can pick this up another time?

- Yes... - Is that alright?

I'll text you.

Edith, this is the most fucked up shit you've ever done.

Yes, but now I can put it behind me. It's over and done with.

If he asks, I'll just say they shelved the story.

You weren't even close to finishing the interview!

I'll tell him I got fired. I'm never going back there. Ever.

But what did you find out?

He's got a wife and two kids.

What?

Was he married when he donated?

- Does his wife know? - I hadn't even thought of that.

Do you think he's lied to her?

What does he look like now? Send me a photo.

Just a sec.

There.

- I can see Sigurd in him. The smile. - I know.

- This is crazy. - What's wrong with me?

Trine is crazy for giving you his name. You can't tell her you met him.

What is it, mommy?

- What is what? - You're being weird.

Am I being weird?

It's the red one.

I know.

Has Sigurd come up with any better birthday wishes?

- What do you mean, better? - He's obsessed with his collection.

I can't just go and find a stick on the street to give him.

He just wants something unique.

But it's like he's obsessed with it.

I can take him shopping this weekend,

and then he can choose something nice he likes.

Well,

I actually wanted to talk to you about that.

Okay?

Just say it. You're stuck inside your own head again.

It's hard to talk about.

I just... think it's better if you don't go out with Sigurd.

From now on.

Okay.

He's at an age where he's hard to keep track of.

I think it's better if you spend time together here.

That you play with him here. You're so good at that.

I'm going to my room.

Can I ask you something else?

Did I collect weird things when I was little?

I can't remember. Maybe you did, maybe you didn't.

HI, EDITH. DO YOU WANT TO MEET TOMORROW,

OR DID YOU GET WHAT YOU NEEDED?

HI, NIELS. SORRY FOR THE LATE REPLY. MY EDITOR HAS ACTUALLY...

Sorry.

Edith? There's a Niels Krohn here to see you.

- Here? - He says you're doing a piece on him.

- But he's here? Now? - Yeah, in the lobby.

Do I know about this piece?

Uh, no.

I haven't had the time to tell you.

- We could chat over lunch? - Sure.

Sorry to drop in like this, but we were in the neighbourhood.

Molly wanted to ask you a few more questions. Right?

I said no, because you're probably really busy.

But you really insisted, so.

So I wanted to see if...

...if this was a good time.

Let me think. We have an evaluation meeting,

and I have some things I need to do before that.

Just forget that we stopped by. Don't worry about it.

But I'd love to talk some more soon, Molly.

Great. I was wondering if you could look at that paper I mentioned.

And I was wondering if you needed anything else for the interview.

Don't hesitate to reach out.

I was waiting for my editor to greenlight the story before we kept going, so.

Alright. But...

Ok, well, just let me know when you find out.

Yes! I have to go now, but... I'll be in touch.

And sorry again for dropping in like this.

I like that it's not another success story.

I agree.

But I'm not sure if he's the right person for it.

- Didn't you mention a video game? - Yes. He made that Fruit Hippo game.

Was that him? My kids were obsessed with that.

Weren't they criticised for tricking money out of kids?

Yes, but it was a long time ago. It's not really news.

Ethics and mobile gaming. That's a pretty hot topic.

Yes, of course.

Simon can take over. He's done a lot of research on it.

Sure.

I'll get him to reach out to Krohn after lunch.

You know what, I'll do it. You're right.

I've already met him, so it's best like that.

- Are you sure? - Yes.

Are you thirsty? We have lots of soda from a birthday party.

Theres a ton of it.

No, thank you. I'm alright.

ANY OTHER DISABILITIES? HOW BAD IS THE DYSLEXIA?

Should we sit outside?

- Sure, if you prefer. - Yes.

Nothing is flawless. A lot of stuff can happen during a process like that.

There's so many components. Servers can go down, the software can be buggy.

And there's a significant risk of human error.

- Am I boring you with this? - No. It's interesting.

Especially your own personal experiences.

- Like we talked about last time. - Yes.

- Could you explain that further? - There was a lot of...

There was a lot of fuzz around that game.

I had a bit of a...

...personal crisis after that.

I see.

Molly should be home any minute now.

It's just us two today. Mia's working late and Silas is with his dad.

I see. So he's not your...

- He's not your... - No, I'm his stepdad.

I see. And Molly?

- So you don't have kids of your own? - No.

- I didn't mean it like that. - Not biologically, no.

I'd actually like a soda. Is that ok?

Of course! We have so many.

There's lots of flavours.

Let's see... Kiwi, raspberry...

Uh... Lemon, pineapple - that one's really good.

- Lemon sounds good. - Lemon? Me too.

Thank you.

Cheers.

That's nice.

Oops! Oh dear.

- Don't worry. - This is really good.

Is it fermented?

No, I don't think so.

I'm obsessed with fermenting lately.

I'm trying to make kimchi, kombucha, sourdough bread...

I just got so into all of it.

Funny you should say that, I used to be really into it too.

- I spent hours on YouTube and blogs. - Me too.

I miss that. Wanting to ferment everything. My fridge was...

You sound like me. When I get hooked on something, I go all in.

That's probably why I'm a journalist. Okay, well...

- Have you always lived in Norway? - Yes.

- Apart from a few years in Denmark. - Why Denmark?

I got a job offer, so...

It became my base for a few years.

I love Denmark.

And you've said you want to use your knowledge to improve people's lives.

Teaching in school...

Do you feel like you've achieved that?

Did I say that?

Yes.

I admire people who work towards a higher purpose in life.

I think that's really...

I really respect that. People who don't give up.

I don't know if I've achieved...

...any particular goals.

But thank you.

Do you want me to smile?

Try and get your face in the shadow of the tree.

That's it. Great. Don't move.

Just relax.

I never know what to do in photos.

The photos in the hallway look great.

Those photos were Mia's idea.

- Are you done? - Yes.

I'll come down.

Every day is different.

But that's what makes it fun.

I like writing in the office. We also have meetings there with the other journalists.

And then I go around interviewing people.

Like today.

What does it take to be a journalist?

It's not a protected title. Anyone can start writing.

But you need to be curious about people.

Do you have any role models?

I... admire people... who achieve their dreams.

Who don't give up and are committed.

Thank you.

This was great.

Would you like to eat dinner with us?

That's...

No, I don't think...

So nice of you to ask, but I've got a little boy waiting for me.

But thank you.

Would you like something for the trip home? A banana?

No, that's alright.

- Bye then. - Bye, Edith.

So you'll be in touch?

Nothing is flawless-

GAME DEVELOPER OPENS UP AFTER HARSH CRITICISM

Your personal experiences, like we talked about last time.

GAMES WITH MICRO TRANSACTIONS CAN PUT PRESSURE ON CHILDREN...

I had a bit of a... personal crisis after that.

WAS THE CRITICISM JUSTIFIED?

SEND

What about your mother and father?

Do they have any prominent qualities?

I think my mom is very caring.

I don't see her that often.

So...

My father is probably a bit more reserved, you could say.

I found one!

Which of your parents do you identify the most with?

I've been thinking about that a lot lately.

I think...

My father.

- How old is your daughter? - She's 43.

And how are you dealing with all of this?

I'm fine.

I just want to know if this is going to keep happening.

Well, stress will worsen the condition.

So try to slow down.

You mentioned the importance of being social and seeing friends.

I'm trying to encourage you to do that.

But I'm a little worried about...

We have a birthday coming up. Maybe she shouldn't come?

It's hard to say, but if there are many kids there,

that will increase stress levels.

So maybe that's not a great idea.

So you're saying that it's up to me to decide?

Yes and no.

Have there been any changes at home?

No... Everything's normal.

And that is... You live together, is that correct?

With Sigurd, your four-year-old.

Yes. Almost five.

Edith was in a long-term relationship,

and thought they would have children, but then he didn't want to.

So she waited too long.

I had Sigurd by myself, and he's doing great.

Except that it can be hard to get through to him sometimes.

Like all children at that age.

Yes.

The situation at home is what it is.

There's no reason to worry. We're doing just fine.

This is about making adaptations for your sake, mum.

When you chose to be a single mother, was the plan for Dorthe to help you

more than she's able to now?

Yes, I guess it was.

That plan has changed a bit now.

As Dorthe's dementia keeps developing.

- But we do just fine, as I've said. - Yes.

The important thing is that I do the exercises you've given me.

You have to slow down. That's the important thing.

Are you saying I'm a stressed-out solo mom?

You're the one saying that, Edith.

It's not my fault you're sick.

- I can take care of myself. - No, you can't!

You're not taking it seriously! And now we're talking about me?

You're angry with me because of your insecurities as a solo mom.

- What on earth are you saying? - It's true.

You were a single mom yourself. Dad left, remember?

Let's just calm down.

I think what you've done is really brave.

Brave? It's not brave, it's perfectly normal!

Do you tell expecting couples that they're brave?

Calm down and listen to the doctor.

No!

First floor.

What about a board game? One that we could play together?

No. I want something old that no one else has ever found.

- PUT IT BEHIND YOU - I JUST HAVE TO SEE HIM ONE MORE TIME

...my friends playing pétanque. Do you remember?

Oh yeah.

But there were games in the toy shop, that we could've played together.

I said no!

- Are you completely sure? - Yes, I told you.

- I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS - BUT WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM HIM?

I've decided to try again with the same donor.

- With the same donor? - Yeah. That was always the plan.

- Was it? - What's up with you?

Nothing's up, I just...

I'm just thinking about Jens. Shouldn't you guys be...

Jens doesn't know what he wants, and the clock is ticking,

so if I want Amanda to have a sibling, it has to be now, and with Inuus.

Of course. I'm sorry.

I had a long night with Sigurd.

But this is good news!

- How nice for Amanda. - And for Sigurd!

He'll have another sibling too!

That's right!

Wow.

He's going to be thrilled!

Thanks for taking him this Saturday. I really appreciate it.

Of course.

But I was thinking Jens could take them.

- Oh yeah? - So I can come out with you!

Right? Sure, maybe!

Let's talk about it.

Sigurd!

Sigurd! Leave that lady alone.

What?

I don't get it.

- I've got it. - Show us, then.

No.

"I've got it." Come on!

Your index finger.

What?

Can't you just tell us? Tell us!

No! But this round's on me.

Sorry, I've got a flight at six a.m.

- No! - Rain check.

Get something nice for Sigurd! You know what he likes?

Some Japanese trash.

- Hey. - What?

I think I saw Inuus in here.

- Are you sure? - Yes.

- So maybe you should leave with me. - No, why?

Alright. It's up to you. Just don't do anything stupid.

- Of course not! - Good.

You've been warned. So you'll leave with the others, right? Yes?

Enjoy your trip. Have fun.

- Next round, next round. - Coming up.

Three beers and three Fernet.

- Aftenposten? - You remember me.

It's all Molly's been talking about for weeks.

- How are you? - I'm good.

Thirsty?

You look different.

Is that a compliment?

I'm alright. I've been better, but...

- Were you unhappy with the story? - No, not at all.

It was great. I just get a little self-conscious reading about myself.

Do you need a hand with the drinks?

- Hi. Torbjørn. - Niels.

Niels pilsner.

- Sorry. - No worries.

Well?

- Good to see you again. - You too.

Tell Molly hi.

- She's going to be an awesome journalist. - Yes. Agreed.

Who was that?

Someone I did a story on a while back.

Cool. You're so on top of everything. All while being a solo mom.

What's that supposed to mean?

What's that supposed to mean?

- I didn't mean it like that. - And yet it comes out like that!

Why do you do that? Why do you always do that?

Hey. Edith. Listen.

I'm giving you a hug.

- Hey. - What?

Did I offend your independence by offering to help you carry the drinks?

Do you want to carry them by yourself?

We need to get back to the babysitter.

Are you leaving?

Are you coming?

No, I want to finish my drink. You guys go.

- Are you sure? - Yeah.

- Say hi to Dorthe. - She's away with a friend.

It's going to be alright.

Thanks, I guess?

Are you good?

Hi, Edith.

Hope you're having a great time.

Not to put a damper on the mood, but...

I've actually been waiting for you to call all night.

Sometimes I feel like you see me more as a babysitter than a friend.

And that's a pretty crap feeling.

When we found out the kids had the same dad,

I was hoping we'd be more of a...

Or maybe...

Well, anyway. The kids are fine.

I don't know if you got the photos I sent?

I'll see you tomorrow.

- A beer. - Coming up.

- There you go. - Thanks.

NIELS KROHN ARE YOU LEAVING?

- That's Celine. Not me. - I know.

- Hi. - Hi.

- I ordered a taxi. - Yes.

Maybe I could...

Do you want to share it? I'm not going far.

Nesodden isn't the same way.

I'm not going to Nesodden. Mia and I have split up.

- What? - So...

I'm staying with a friend while I'm sorting things out.

Shit.

I'm alright. It feels like the right thing. For both of us.

But you were the perfect family. Surely you'll work things out?

No. Not this time.

- Where are the wine glasses? - Above the sink.

Have you read this?

No, not yet. Have you?

- Well, I got the audio book. - That's the same thing.

Is it really, though?

- Campari? - It's all I've got.

Delicious.

I love your flat. Do you want to give me a tour?

It's actually my mother's, and I've got plans to renovate it,

but I never got around to it.

- So there's not that much to see. - I'd still love a tour.

Okay.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

No, that's not allowed!

A little bit...

- Just add some more apple juice. - More apple juice, yes.

Or more Campari. I think that'll do the trick.

When I was little, I wanted to be an architect.

But then you married one instead?

- Now I get it. I get everything. - I told you I'm going to renovate!

What's in here?

- Woah, there's a lot of stuff. - That's my son's room.

It reminds me of my childhood room.

It's really nice.

Thanks.

- I'll keep going, okay? - Go right ahead.

- Mind your head! - That happens all the time.

Alright.

This is where it happens.

Now this tour seems like "a move" on my part.

- A very childish move. - I'm very young.

You're not that young. Are you?

- Another one? - Yes.

We were never really meant to be.

Really.

But that can be hard to see when you've got children.

I'm just really worried about losing the kids.

Especially since they're not...

- Do you really think you will? - Well, I...

They have a father.

- But they still love you. - Yes. They do.

But maybe I haven't been there long enough.

They're lucky to have so many people who love them.

But I see what you mean.

The fear of not being enough.

- Do you ever feel like that? - Of course.

Where is your son's dad?

We don't have to talk about it.

It's alright. It's just...

He's just... He doesn't live in Norway anymore.

He moved back to New York when Sigurd was two.

He's an artist, so... he didn't want that.

And we hadn't planned on having a child. I was the one who wanted that.

Is he in touch with Sigurd?

- No. - Not at all?

That dress is fucking killer.

Is it red or brown? I can't tell. But it looks so good on you.

- Let's see what colour it is on you. - On me?

Yes.

I'm just going down to the fitting room.

Okay.

Okay.

Take this.

Oh shit.

Sorry.

- I spilled Campari on... - No worries.

- I didn't get any on the dress. - There are towels in the bathroom.

- I found this. - You look gorgeous.

- Do you mind? - Not at all.

You should start wearing dresses.

Is this a drunk tattoo?

Do you have any tattoos?

No, I'm afraid of... And besides, Mia hated it.

She wouldn't let me. I mean...

I have a needle.

And ink.

Is that how you did yours? Let's go!

- It's going to look like yours, right? - Yes, identical.

Morning.

- I'm going to get some breakfast. - That's awesome.

Don't go anywhere.

Can you tell us about your current work situation?

You are self-employed?

It sounds like I'm unemployed.

No, uh... I'm an entrepreneur. Tech development.

I did a game a few yea-

- years ago that did pretty well.

- Should I say the name of the game? - No, please don't.

Is that something you want to continue doing?

Right now I'm working on-

Yoohoo!

Hi!

Did you have a bit too much last night?

Do you like these?

Where did you say Sigurd's dad was?

I told you last night.

- He... - Hello! It's just us!

- Can I play pétanque with Amanda? - What are you doing here already?

- Let's go out again. - I want to go to the park!

Edith has a colleague over, so we'll go out in the yard.

We were just wrapping up.

I'm sorry. They were supposed to come back later.

I think maybe you have to leave. If that's okay.

You didn't answer... I'm just trying to understand...

You're not in touch with Sigurd's father?

No.

Not at all?

- Well, he left. - To paint?

You've looked me up.

I just wanted to know who you were. I didn't...

What do you mean?

I wanted to know if you were a good person.

How... How did you-

I googled you, and then lots of stuff came up.

And I just wanted to know a bit more.

And then...

You've been in my home. You met my family.

What do you want?

I just wanted to meet you once. And then you showed up at my office with Molly.

Wait. Wait!

What was I supposed to do?

So it's my fault? Is that what you're saying?

Is it my fault?

- I don't know. - I'm not the one who...

Don't look at me like that.

Don't look at me like that. You're the sick one here.

I haven't...

Can you please leave!

I'm just trying to understand. You've sought me out, right?

Do you know how insane that is?

I don't want you here! Please leave!

Is he...

Edith? Are you serious? Don't...

We need to talk.

Are you serious?

Have you got everything?

We're sweeping the floor.

Would you like to say anything to the child produced from your donation?

Hello. This is your donor.

I hope you are loved.

And I think you are,

because your parent or parents went through a lot to have you.

Life is going to be good... and bad.

So... good luck!

ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO DELETE RECORDING?

I can't sleep.

Poor baby.

Can I lie here for a bit?

You have to sleep in your own bed, Edith.

You're so good at that now. Sleeping alone.

Amanda hasn't asked me about it.

That's good. Sigurd hasn't either.

Do you think he realised Amanda is his as well?

I hope not.

How could you let this happen?

I just felt a need to know more about him.

In case Sigurd ever asked.

That I'd have an answer.

And I felt like I knew him before we'd even met.

I was...

I know I told you his name.

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have.

No.

But that was my limit. I hope you know that.

Of course.

I'm not going to use Inuus as a donor again.

Or Niels, or... I don't know what to call him.

He's too real now.

Listen... What you said in that voice message.

You are completely right.

I don't see you as a friend.

We're family.

You're Sigurd's sister's mother.

I'm so happy to have you in our lives.

I couldn't have done all this without you.

Oh well. They've got 10 000 other siblings out there.

True.

Can we go to the park later, grandma?

I think we'll stay inside, Sigurd.

A coffee, please.

I felt tricked.

You put me in a difficult position.

It was a huge transgression.

Toward me.

Yes.

And I'm really sorry.

Really.

What were you hoping would happen?

What was I hoping would happen?

I thought I might...

...understand my son better if I knew who his father was.

You must've known it would go...

Go wrong, sooner or later.

I got carried away.

I liked you.

I was very charmed by you, too.

Having a kid by myself was a plan-B.

I sometimes worry I'm not enough for him.

I'd like to suggest...

...that Sigurd and I meet.

In a proper setting.

But it's completely up to you. Sigurd is your son.

But...

Can I ask you why you donated?

It was kind of spontaneous.

I saw an ad for a sperm bank when I was at a conference in Copenhagen.

It was a spur of the moment thing.

I think I actually...

Mia and I were going through a difficult time.

She didn't want more kids. So...

Maybe it was a way for me to feel like there's a part...

...of me out there.

I thought I could solve it by wanking in a cup.

I need to use the bathroom.

- Speaking of. - Yes.

Does this look alright?

Or is it too low?

I think it's fine right there.

Look at this!

I know that I put you in a difficult situation.

And I may have planted a need in you to meet Sigurd,

now that you know he exists.

But... what if you change your mind?

I don't want to create a longing in him.

To him you're a kind man somewhere in the world who helped me have him.

And that's it.

If he's going to meet you...

I want that to be his decision, when he's old enough to make that decision.

And I hope he wants to.

It might not have meant much to you to wank in that cup, but...

It's my whole world.
