Original subtitles

I'd been beaten.

You bet I was beaten when I was a child.

You can't play war in a living room.

WILD FLOWER

Are we moving to a commune? - We're just looking at it.

We're fine where we are now. - You sound like grandmother.

I don't. - Yes, you do.

We won't move if you don't want to. - I hope not.

You have to see it yourself.

If you judge others in advance, you'll never get wiser.

Okay, I'll take a look.

But please take a real look.

Okay, I don't like it. - You can say hi to them.

Do they have a tennis court?

Hello? Anybody home?

Oops.

Hello?

Hello?

Hi. - Hi, Ingerlaise.

We've brought Christoffer. - Hi.

I'm Ingerlaise.

Damn it. - I told you I didn't want to.

It's my husband Aksel.

We're making a sweat lodge. - What's that?

It's some kind of Indian thing. Something ritual.

It's because we have a Sioux Indian living here.

Her name is Oglala.

Come her, you crazy troll.

We'll experiment with some of the Indian traditions.

Doesn't it sound exiting, Stoffer? - Time will tell.

Palle says it's a kind of spiritual sauna.

What a surprise.

Want to smoke? - Is it hash?

Yes, of course.

They're here.

Hi. - Hi.

I'm not doing this. - Sure.

I'm not doing it.

Stoffer. You promised you'd give it a chance.

I'm not taking off my clothes.

It's a tradition which Oglala's grandparents have practised.

Oglala's career focused parents haven't done it, -

but her tribe has done it for thousands of years.

Well.

She's thanking me and of course you too -

that we can go into the hut together.

She hopes it'll be a success.

It's a good idea to take off your clothes. It's really hot in there.

Yes, but Christoffer is embarrassed to show his willy.

Before we go into the lodge, we all have to say:

"To all my relations." - Please.

That's bloody stupid.

We have to. - I don't want to.

We've agreed to. - Let's say something political.

Svend Erik. - Let's do what we agreed to, right?

Let's all go into the lodge.

You can't drink that. It's holy.

Are you unwell, Stoffer? Stoffer?

Maybe you should take off your shirt?

Sit down. - He's passing out.

He's out of it.

Remember to say: "To all my relations", before you leave.

Mind the lodge.

I'm really sorry.

It's not our fault that they've built a sweat lodge.

We didn't know that.

I talked to the realtor.

The house can be sold in a week.

Wasn't I supposed to approve the commune before we moved?

Of course, it seems strange to you now.

I'm not moving. - Nobody's said we're going to.

No, of course not.

Goodbye, Stoffer! See you!

Have a nice life!

Goodbye! Goodbye!

We should have discussed it some more with Stoffer.

He'll be fine. - Shouldn't we have discussed it?

We've talked and looked at communes for five years.

You're happy, and I'm happy, and so will Stoffer be in the end.

I just think... - Christoffer leads you a dance.

I don't know about that. - Yes. You're pretty weak, Nisse.

Christoffer will get on. He'll be a better collectivist than us.

I get tired of you when you're so negative. Be a bit more optimistic.

Christoffer will be fine. - You're probably right.

I'm not probably right.

I am right.

WELCOME OUR RED FRIENDS

How nice of you. Isn't that great, Stoffer?

Don't cut the pieces too big. It's a hash cake.

How much did you put in? - 10-12 grams.

Hello?

We mainly share underwear. And shirts and things like that.

And if there are no briefs? - Then you have to wear panties.

You've got the best room. - Yes, it's really nice.

The ones before you were divorced. - Really?

They had some unbearable power struggles. They drove us all mad.

Nis and I allow each other complete freedom, right?

Yes, completely.

Hi, Tønnes.

You're going to live here. With my son.

Do you want to jump?

Where's the toilet? - Didn't you see it?

Aksel, the guy with the hash cake, has built it all.

It was before the fuel crisis.

It's too expensive with the big tub. But once a month -

we fill up the tub, and then we bathe together.

Are you looking for something? - I'm looking for room number 14.

You're the new guy, then. Come here.

Yes. Christoffer is our new pupil. He's from Hørsholm.

Will you tell us a bit about yourself?

My name is Christoffer. I've moved into a house on Kongensvej -

with my mum and dad.

They're architects.

You can sit down.

Let's find page 43, Jean Paul Sartre's "Les jeux sont faits".

"What's the difference between a commune and a carpet store?"

"In the carpet store a shag is not for free."

"In the commune..."

Hello? Hi. - Hi.

How was school?

Fine. - That's great.

We're doing great, too.

Nis has quit his job.

I went to the technical department, left my keys -

and said I wanted to build a dome house. They didn't understand.

When I was getting my things, they went and bought these for me.

We have another exciting surprise, too.

Make a guess.

I'm making political theatre with Tine and Ingerlaise.

I'm going inside.

The news. There are new clues in the case about the bomber.

This morning a woman was injured by a bomb in phone booth.

What's that? - Records of the bombs.

Why? - Because bombs are cool.

Why? - Because, because, because.

The police thinks the bomber may be connected to the extreme left.

What are you doing?

Go sit on your bed.

After collective cleaning on Saturday we can have candy and watch TV.

I like Saturday. - Shut up for a minute.

Can you see what that is, Tønnes? - Yes.

It's a chalk line.

Everything on the other side of that line is mine and mine alone.

You can't touch any of my stuff.

You can't talk to me.

And if you tell on me, then...

Then I'll push you. And then it's goodbye.

I won't tell anyone.

Hi.

We're going to fuck.

You're getting on well? - Yes. Aren't we, Tønnes?

Sure.

Stoffer, we're having a joint meeting.

We're having a joint meeting.

Do I have to participate? - Yes. It's about you.

At my school we make the children understand the capitalist society.

A revolutionary insight. - We don't want parrots.

Little verbalizing devils. - No, of course not.

We give the children the strength, independence and insight -

which is needed in the revolutionary battle.

I don't want to.

I don't want to. - Yes, come on.

Come on, it'll be over soon.

Come on, Tønnes. - I don't want to.

Christoffer, do you want to tell us why you've tried to hang Tønnes?

I just did it for fun.

That's not funny at all. Can't you see that?

Yes.

Christoffer...

What do you think we should do about it?

I don't know. - You could say you're sorry.

I'm sorry, Tønnes.

We think you should start going to Svend Erik's Maoist Saturday school.

Why? - It will be good for you.

You'll find an outlet for your aggression.

You can aim them at capitalism.

Then you'll get out of Saturday cleaning.

Politiken says that another phone booth has been blown up, -

and a 29-year-old man has been severely injured.

Ekstra Bladet calls the bomber slow and sluggish and a coward.

"Just look at his writing. The man is a psychopath."

"The mad bomber puts 600 children at risk." It's a pity, isn't it?

Yes.

That shows how easily you believe a press stunt.

Those children weren't at risk. It's a campaign against the bomber.

They must have been at risk. - No.

It's a press stunt. Don't you get it?

The capitalist media describes the bomber as a psychopath.

They're filling us with lies!

What's really behind this? - Revolutionary forces.

Cityguerrillas. What impact will it have on the capitalist system?

The revolution will come.

If we show solidarity and support the path chosen, -

it may very possibly lead to an armed revolution in Denmark.

But that's up to you.

LOUSY WAGES

The management at Royal Copenhagen -

makes the poor platter ladies work for almost nothing.

But they've had enough.

They've stood up. They're saying: "We won't take it anymore."

They're on strike. You'll each get 150 posters which you have to put up.

You have to work alone because what can they do?

They can stop one, they can't stop us all.

If the police come, then run. Run.

If they catch you, state only your name and address.

The school can't get into the police files.

When you're done, come back here, by 5 p.m. At the latest.

What if we're not done?

Then you bring back the rest of the posters. Spread out.

Christoffer was the most efficient partisan.

He put up 150 posters in an hour and a half.

Wasn't it hard?

I ran out of paste, too, but then I went and bought some more.

With your own money? - Yes, ten kroner.

Take it from the common purse. - Of course.

Well done. To think that's my son.

It's important to think for yourself. He's a great revolutionary talent.

Haven't I always said so, Nisse?

It's great that you're getting on, Stoffer.

It's great.

There's a really good atmosphere. Shouldn't we meditate on it?

No.

Brothers fire your weapons

the final battle is near

victory is upon us

brothers in the working army - Louder.

Victory is upon us

brothers in the working army - Clench your fist. Sing out loud.

Raise your well-armed fist

brothers we're fighting for peace

don't let your threats be empty

lightning must strike at our foes

don't let your threats be empty

Hi.

What are you doing? - I don't know.

Want to do something?

Let's listen to it at your house. - Can't we go to your house?

It won't really work. My record player is broken.

Come on. Let's listen to it at your house. Come on.

I don't know who that is.

Hi, Stoffer. Won't you come say hi?

Hi. I'm Stoffer's mum. - Hi, I'm Julie.

Stoffer, you're wearing my blouse. It looks ridiculous.

Yes.

Are you lesbians? - No.

Tine and me just like each other.

What a great mum. The way she's open and honest.

I really like her.

Hi, Stoffer. - That's my dad.

Hi, I'm Julie. - Nisse.

I was hoping you'd help me with the dome house.

Why are you wearing a dress? - It's a djellaba.

It's very comfortable. It doesn't squeeze your willy.

Cool. - It's just hanging there and...

Dangling.

That's Tønnes who I share a room with.

Weren't you going to help Nis with the dome house?

I've often walked by and felt like knocking on the door.

You should just have come in. - Do you mean it?

We're all very open.

Is it yours?

Yes. - Are you red?

Yes, but only on Saturday.

You can't just be red on Saturday.

Then I'm red all week, I guess. - That's cool.

We carry out some wild protests. - And the cops show up?

Exactly. - It sounds totally exciting.

It is. The revolution is just around the corner.

There's a joint meeting.

Nisse, we're having a joint meeting.

I've invited Pia and Carla... - Hi.

...from the platter ladies' strike committee to the party tonight.

Maybe we can make something happen.

I've promised the picket that we'll make a protest -

against Royal Copenhagen tonight.

What kind of protest? - It's the display windows.

They're going to be smashed. - Cool.

It's of fundamental importance that it's done by one person.

So that it doesn't seem organized.

Any volunteers?

I'll do it. - Great.

Cool, Stoffer.

Is that a good idea? I think it sounds risky.

I can handle it, man. - Svend Erik wants experience.

Not at all. He's the best man for the job.

You're not old enough. - Yes.

Stop being such a dick. - It's great, Nisse.

You do what you want to do.

Why don't I go with him, then? - No, Nisse.

Yes, I'm sorry.

Have a great battle. - Thanks. Have a great party.

Drive them into the garden.

Hi. Now we're self-sufficient in wool and cheese.

See you. - Don't you want to come?

You promised to do it alone.

Wouldn't it be more fun if we did it together?

No, I think you should do it by yourself.

Okay.

It's cool you dare to. I'm proud of you.

Hello?

Hi, it's Stoffer. - Are you done?

I went to look at the display windows.

There are a lot of people. - Yes, and so what?

Can't we call the action off? - And let down the platter ladies?

The moped's run out of petrol.

Just smash that store and forget about the bloody moped.

Red front. - Red front.

Look where you're going, damned hippie kid!

Tell me exactly what you saw.

I saw a hippie kid. I'm pretty sure it was him.

How old was he? - 15-16 years old.

He had one of those hippie scarves around his neck.

Hippie scarves? - The kind the hippies wear.

I only want to fuck if my friend can join in.

Can't she just look? - No. She has to join in.

Okay. - Where are we going to do it?

What's she saying? - That they're wonderful creatures.

The sheep will liberate us from the established society.

We'll soon be self-sufficient. - Yes.

It will spread. Everything will be alive. Denmark will flourish.

How about building a dome house for the sheep, Nisse?

Nisse?

Nisse? - I have to go to the lavatory.

Am I interrupting? - No, no.

You don't mind my sitting down, do you?

It's nice out here.

It's nice when you're sad.

I've always thought you were a wonderful man.

Ever since I saw you the first time.

Really?

I want you, Nisse.

Good morning.

Where the hell is the big bowl? - I don't know.

The big bowl with my dope was right here.

I've cleared away the dishes. - You've thrown out my dope.

There wasn't any hash on the table. - Yes. A quarter of a gram.

I'm sorry, then.

I'm really sorry, I...

Ouch! - Take it easy!

That nancy boy has to find my hash. - I know what this is about.

If I want to make love to Nisse, I'm allowed to.

You fuck everyone.

Stop it. - No! No! Nisse, help me!

Nisse! - Move it, damn it!

Nisse, help! No! Don't do it! - Take it easy.

You can bet I'm bloody well going to teach you.

Are you done?

Are you done?

Emergency 911. - I want to report a wife battering.

What's the address? - Kongensvej 6. He's beating her.

What's the address? - Kongensvej number 6.

What's going on? - Aksel's gone completely crazy.

Leave them alone. We've been through it hundreds of times, -

and it always end with Ingerlaise defending Aksel.

There's nothing we can do about it.

But some day Ingerlaise will be ready to receive our support.

And then we have to be there and support her 100%.

No!

Hello. - Hello.

We've been called to the premises.

Yes. Aksel Jensen has beaten his wife. This way, please.

We're going through the kitchen. She's the one who was beaten.

Hello.

You've been beaten by your husband. - No, I just tripped.

We've been notified about a case of wife battering. Where's the husband?

He's sitting in there.

Did you beat your wife? - No, I haven't.

That's a lie. - The hell it is.

He didn't.

He didn't. We've been here all morning.

I'm sorry. - It's alright.

We're used to it. - I'll see you out.

Who's the owner of this hash?

The police have received about 1,300 tips.

Today several telephone bombs and strange parcels showed up.

The police put up cordons in Copenhagen.

Turn off that crap.

We think it's a psychotic deviant. He belongs in a mental hospital.

It's a press stunt.

Be quiet.

The bomber is alright.

Killing innocent people can't be justified in any way.

If it's so dangerous, they can take off the doors.

They can't take off all phone booth doors.

Great idea. - Call him and say so.

Just don't use a phone booth.

Quiet.

Stoffer. I'm in the bushes.

Stoffer, I'm in the bushes.

Shit.

Get out in a hurry.

Go to the Maoist school and destroy all material on the protest.

There are cops everywhere.

Did they find out?

No, not yet. Hurry up, damn it!

I'm sorry that your sheep have to go.

You have to abide by the law like everyone else.

Goodbye for now.

Bloody male chauvinists. They've gone through our underwear.

Traitor!

I'm really sorry.

Tell the sheep when they're being slaughtered.

Let's clear the air of these bad vibrations.

If we sat down with Oglala... - Shut up, Palle.

Palle, we're not into that trip.

Do you realize that your son who's carried out an important protest -

has to run away?

If he has to run away, he's on a downward path.

If Christoffer wants to take action, he should be allowed to.

Hear, hear.

I knew you were stupid, -

but that you're stupid enough to call the cops -

is beyond me.

You're an idiot. - You can say that again.

I'm having a hard time concentrating.

It's completely ridiculous. - Yes, it's bad.

I think we should move back to Hørsholm.

Do you think that's a good idea? - Yes, I do.

I was going to move in with Tine for a while.

We're performing tomorrow, and I can't concentrate around you.

Then cancel the performance. - I can't. I have to act.

We're rehearsing in the garden. - I'm coming.

Nisse, don't take it personally.

Our relationship will fall apart, if we don't stay apart for a while.

What's going on? - I'm going to Norway.

To Norway?

I'm going to the mountains. I need to be alone.

Nisse, damn it.

Is it because of Maria?

No, not at all.

Don't let a woman get you down. You'll be fine in a couple of days.

I need to go into nature. I feel like I'm suffocating

What about our dome houses?

You'll have to build them yourself. - Nisse, sit down.

We have to talk about this. I'll make some tea.

It can't bloody well be right.

No, I can't. I just can't.

What a cool place. - Yes.

Will you keep an eye on Christoffer when he shows up?

I'm a bit worried about him. - I'll look after him.

Yes. We'll telepath you when we find him.

You're nice.

Oglala's made it herself. It will protect you against evil spirits.

See you. - See you.

I'd better get going.

The police are interested in the whereabouts of Christoffer Hammer.

The police have connected him to the bomb in Smallegade.

In his home, a collective farm in Frederiksberg...

Maria, Maria.

Yesterday you were filled with complexes and fear

you didn't feel you could cope

Maria, they're talking about Stoffer on the radio.

You thought what do I want?

Woman stand up and learn

we have to fight together against fear and defeat

we have to do what we're afraid to every day

woman fight for it to happen

They're talking about Stoffer. - Tønnes, we can't concentrate.

Tønnes, you promised to go put on your clothes.

We're going to Den Grå Hal. - I don't want to go.

We don't have time to discuss it.

You're stupid, mum. I want to be with Nisse.

Palle, can't you look after Tønnes today?

Tine, we're taking the sheep away.

It's tough enough as it is.

Aksel, baby.

Aksel, baby.

We've had a joint meeting. You have to look after Tønnes.

I didn't agree to that. - Wouldn't it be nice?

The hell it would.

You don't have to tidy up. I'll do it tomorrow.

If you'll just look after Tønnes. - Hell no.

I don't want to. I have a thousand things to do. You have to stay here.

Let her go. - Don't be such a dick.

You have to take the responsibility. Tønnes is crying upstairs.

They don't mean it like that. - Come on, Ingerlaise.

Bye, Tønnes. Aksel will look after you. See you tomorrow.

You pigs.

Hi. Do you want to play? - Sure.

Go get it, then.

"I've taken all of the money because I've given you too much.

Fuck you. "

Stoffer?

Stoffer!

"Dear Stoffer. I've gone home to do some stuff.

See you. Julie."

Stoffer.

Stoffer.

Stoffer, something totally amazing has happened

The cops think you're the bomber.

What? - They think it's you.

You're kidding. - No, it's bloody well true.

It's a great opportunity. We'll call the Chinese embassy -

and tell them you want to hide and appear as the bomber in the media.

You'll be the Danish Andreas Baader.

We'll become terrorists. Join the bloody battle for revolution.

Svend Erik, that sounds completely stupid.

The police are convinced that you're the bomber.

You'll get ten years in the nick. - They can't do that.

You'll go to the nick.

The police want a scapegoat. - Stop it. I'm not getting involved.

If you're not with us, you're against us.

And then you're a capitalist pig, -

and we'll get you, then.

Do you know, what you're trying to stop? Do this thing, -

or you're finished!

Christoffer, if we stick together, -

then nothing bad can happen, -

and then nothing can stop us.

Don't you see?

Good.

My beloved comrades, we've all looked forward to this moment.

Now the time for waiting and training is over.

This is an open confrontation with the system.

And all that -

is thanks to Stoffer.

Long live Stoffer. Long live the revolution!

Long live the revolution! Long live the revolution!

I'm not calling them. - Don't worry. I'll do it.

This will have an enormous impact. Huge numbers of people will come.

How do you know that? - Remember Ulrike Meinhof's funeral?

No. - 5,000 people were there.

There's your lunch.

There's no entrance. - Password?

If you don't let me in, I'll get the cops.

So, are you going to stay here? - Yes.

Look at that. We're going to have a massive demonstration.

Plenty of people are going to back us up.

We can stay here until they catch the real bomber.

Is Svend Erik behind all this?

No.

It can't be you. - Sure it is.

This is the worst plan I've ever heard of.

Don't worry. It's going to be fine.

This is going to work out just great.

Alright, Stoffer, I...

I'll wait here. - Okay.

Have you got everything? - Yes.

Make sure they understand, that we'll be contacting them tomorrow.

Okay? Good.

Red front.

Red front.

You're under arrest.

What were you doing at the Rialto Theatre?

I already told you.

What were you doing? - I smashed a store window.

Why? - To support the platter ladies.

You brought a bomb. - No.

How many people do you want to hurt?

I've got nothing to do with that shit.

Svend Erik says you made all the bombs.

It's not true.

Sure...

He's in the other room crying his eyes out.

He claims you made him call the Chinese embassy.

Do you want an armed revolution? - Stop it.

You might as well confess. We've got loads of evidence.

Send him to the magistrate.

You'll be isolated until you confess.

Long live the revolution! You'll never win!

Get your hands off me. Long live the proletariat!

Avanti popolo

What a shitty country! Can't you see I'm starving?

And if we don't agree then we won't be free

traitors and overlords traitors and overlords

and we don't agree then we won't be free

traitors and overlords they must all die

i- licky-licky-lie our numbers grow and grow

socialists are we yes socialists are we

The place is packed. This is going to be a huge success.

I'm so bloody nervous.

Freedom's what we want

Don't be nervous. Just be yourself.

Why don't I tell them, that we only rehearsed six times?

You've worked on this play for an entire year.

This is going to be great. - Repeat after me:

We are strong, independent and free.

We are strong, independent and free.

We are strong, independent and free.

Sisters, the rest of the evening is cancelled.

There's been a meeting at the factory and we are to return to work, -

and even pay a fine of 3,3 million kroner.

The committee's done a great job. They must feel really awful now.

There's nothing to celebrate.

Thanks for coming.

We spent the whole day dealing with her husband.

You're so far out.

The world doesn't revolve around your shit marriage.

I know.

Do something about your pathetic life.

Cool down, Tine.

You can stuff your sketches! - You write then.

I'm sick of you and your boring little plays!

Don't fucking push me!

Move back to the suburbs, wifey. That's where you belong.

You move, bitch. - You're so self absorbed.

Then find somewhere else to live.

I have something very serious to talk to you about.

It's about Christoffer.

I see a beautiful meadow -

with light green trees and bushes.

There's a little mouse there.

She says it's your totem animal.

You'll see through its eyes and hear through its ears.

I'm racing along the ground. Wow, everything's so big.

There's a huge, black snake right in front of me.

She says: "Don't be afraid."

Follow the snake. It will guide you.

There's a girl on a rocking horse.

It's my rocking horse. And my old dress.

She wants to know where the snake is.

There's a very bright light.

The snake dissolves into the light.

That was so wonderful.

Help me!

Help me! Nisse, help me!

Help me!

I'm coming. Don't be afraid. I'm coming.

Help!

Pack your things.

During the socialists' gathering -

- the so-called bomber tried to blow up the communists' stand.

The bomb went off in his hands.

He was injured and arrested. A year of terror has come to an end.

I don't know where your parents are. We've notified them.

There's a bus around the corner. - Alright.

It went boom boom when the bomber blew up

Am I awfully late? - No no.

I'm sorry I let you down. - No worries.

It's alright.

It was an incredible trip.

I ate a mouse. - A mouse?

Yes. Raw. Skin and all.

Where's Maria?

She's at home. She's not doing too well.

WELCOME HOME STOFFER

They're here. - Hi.

We've prepared a meditation session for you.

We all agreed to try to become more well-balanced beings.

Oglala's going to help us turn the house -

into a spiritual centre before she goes home.

We're using the dome house for meditation.

But Aksel's handyman skills are missed.

Aksel's moved out? - He took the common purse and left.

I'm so sorry.

It must have been rough for you.

Yes, but afterwards, when you get out, you feel all groovy.

We've got a new room for you. You won't be sharing it.

I'm doing seances with Oglala. We're exploring our inner landscapes.

I have a bear inside me, and it's always there for me.

While we wait for Christoffer to join us, -

- I think we should think really positively about Stoffer.

Think of him out in nature. At peace with the trees and bushes.

Naked.

Please... - It's cool.

Then nothing's squeezing my willy.
