A Soap

Charlotte has
successful beauty salon-

but her life with Kristian
is boring her more and more-

and she finally decides
to leave him

She take the plunge while he'
s at a seminar in Malmo

She packs her things and moves
into the first flat
she can find

But what kind of love
is Charlotte dreaming
about?

Why is it so hard for her
to find happiness?

What kind of longings
are working on her?

And the woman
in the flat downstairs...

Is she really
what she claims to be?

And what does she long for?

New horizons

Yeah?

Hi
Hi

I'm in here
How about this!

Well?
Well, what's this all about?

I just want to move this bed.
They've left it in a really
dumb place

You called me to move your bed?
They just dumped it here.

You just shaved, huh?
Yes... You left me, Charlotte...

There's no rule says you can'
t help your ex move a bed

Would you grab that end?

Hold on. I've just become
a resident doctor.

I've already congratulated you
But we're about to
buy a house

I'm not the house-living type.
Don't smoke in here

You prefer run-down
neighborhoods? Yes

What do you want, then?

I'll give you whatever
you want, Charlotte.

I want this bed...

Not the fucking bed, it'
s you I'm talking about!

So tell me? What is it
you're lacking?

What do you need?
Stop mimicking me all the time.

What I'm lacking...?

When your woman fucks around,
you slap her.

Right...? Come on, slap me.

Come on...

Come on, slap me.
You're too much

Am I?
Then Slap me.

Then we'll fuck and then you can
help move the bed and that'll be that.

Come on...

I'll just get someone else
to help me move
that bed, okay?

Don't do anything you don'
t feel like. Go have
a smoke

Bye-bye

Well, take care then.
Right.

Hi. You've called Veronica
and Miss Daisy.

We can't take the phone,
so please leave a
message. Bye.

Hello, it's Klaus Holvig...

Yes, here I am... Yes...

Yes, I have.

Yes, but I don't understand
why it takes so long
to get an answer.

It's very hard for me to sit
and wait for a letter
from you.

Yes... Okay.

Well, goodbye... Bye

God dammit!

Hi. Welcome
Hi

It was really good last time.
Really?

You're absolutely the best.

Thanks
Nice of you to say so.

Won't you take your jacket off?
Yes

Now, now...
Okay

don't be nervous.
No, no.

Maybe it should be
a little different today.

You'll get it just the way
you want it.

I want to take a huge shit.
And you punish me for it.

Oh yeah. And you
punish me for it.

I'll put a newspaper on the
floor. Then you do it
and I'll punish you

Then right up the ass.

No. I only do French and
Swedish. Handjobs
and blowjobs.

500 Kroner.
Yeah.

It's going to
be really nice.

I want you
to call me
"little soldier".

Yes...? How?

"What the hell is this mess
little soldier?"
Something like

I can call you that. No problem.

I've been in Iraq.
Pretty crazy place, Iraq.

We don't get personal.
Get those clothes off,
little soldier!

Get going!
Right.

Here you go...

Do you want one?
Here, Miss Daisy

No! NO... No...

NO!

Who is it?
My name's Charlotte.

I know It's pretty early.

What do you want? I've
just moved in upstairs.

Won't you open the door?

Just a second...

Hi.
Hi.

I've got this huge bed
upstairs. It needs to be moved

I was wondering
if you'd mind...?

I'm not really dressed.
Maybe you could get dressed.

I'm pretty busy.
It won't take all day.

No, but I have to
change clothes first.

Okay.

Hi
Hi

That took some time, didn't it?
Yes, well...

This is it. It has to go in
the bedroom. Just grab
it down there

That's it. If you just
hold it up,
I think we can...

Just pull it. There. I think
we can slide it...

That's it.

There... No.

There's not enough room.
Listen. If you push
at the top...

If you push there. At the top

There?
No, at the top.

Just push it towards me,
then maybe I can...

that's better. Now we can
slide it again.

You don't have a hairslide
do you? Take your
wig off. That's

There... Great!

There's a nice, strong guy
inside there, huh?
You live alone?

No, I live with my dog.

Really? You've got a
thing for dogs?

It was really nice of you to
help. I'd like to give
you something

But I don't want
anything from you.

Okay?
Just a little present.

I don't want anything
from you. I don't want
anything at all

The first time's never that
great, is it?

No.

It'll be better next time,
if you want to get
together again.

I'm not saying it was bad

It'll be better when we
learn more about each
other's feeling

I like mine strong.
You want some coffee?

Very strong. Very strong.
Three teaspoons-full.

Didn't you say you had a wife?

Yes. Can't she make that
cup of coffee?

Jesus...

I'm trying to be polite
and not just split
like other men do.

But that would be easiest
for both of us.

I just asked if you'd make
a cup of coffee! I was
trying to be polite

Crazy cunt.

Hey, did you get
to see all of it?

Hello, it's Charlotte

Won't you open up?

I have a present for you.

Hi. I have a present for you
for helping with the bed.

It was so nice of you

I have a beauty salon in town,
and this foundation is
really go

Thanks. Men have rougher
skin than women.

If you mix these
two, it'll help.

. You don't want to look
like a man, do you?

Just as long as
I don't look like a crazy cunt.

Crazy...

Yes, hello...?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Actually I'm at work.
Oh, really?

Hi.
Hi, Mum.

You're certainly made up today.
Don't. Stop it. Don't, Mum!

I've brought
some magazines for you...

Here...

And here's that p�t� you like
so much. Here, darling.

That's much nicer
than the last one.

What does he want for
his birthday?

Stop it, Ulrik.
I'm just asking what he wants

Ulrik... stop! None of that
"Ulrik" stuff

'Bye again, my darling.
Bye

Charlotte's moved her bed
with Veronica's help

and can enthusiastically
start on her new life.

But downstairs, Veronica's
world is falling apart

Once more she's flirting
with the final, fatal act.

What will the consequences be
for Charlotte?

And how will
her bewildered soul react

to these new
and unfamiliar challenges?

Dark clouds

Hello...?

Hello?

Your dog's shouting, dammit!

Hey...

Hello, beautiful

Hello... Hey!

Would you mind stopping that?
Hello?

Would you mind stopping that?

Kristian, I've just found
someone who's taken a
bunch of pills. He's passed out

Yes, now he's on his side.

He has thrown up.
Everywhere.

Just stick my finger in? Okay.
I've got two fingers
in his mouth.

Come on, man

Come... come...

It's not working.

And you just lie down
and stay quiet.

Down!

Or whatever it's called.

Hey, not in here.
Come here, dog

Come here.

You can live in here. It's your
new home. That's it. No,
down there.

Here's a blanket. Now we go to
sleep. Good night.

Hi, Marlene.

Yes, it's me. I'll be in a
little later today.

The guy downstairs had to be
rushed to the hospital...

so I'm bringing him some clothes.

Yeah,
I've got to walk his
dog, too

No, just ask Sheila to order
some wax
and ask about
that couch again.

Yes, okay. See you. Bye.

Quiet!

What have you
gotten yourself into now?

New underwear.
How do you like it?

In the middle of the night
I have to explain-

How to keep someone from
suffocating in his own vomit.

I'm sorry.

Who's this guy who goes taking
pills in your bed?

There's no guy in my bed.

And if there were, it'd have
nothing to do with you.

Can we talk a little?
Fire away.

What is it? Can't we go into
the living room?

People can talk in halls.

We've lived together 4 years
and now I have to stand
in the hall?

Or what?
No.

Really? I think you ought
to leave.

You! You're simply the most...
You know what you are? Huh?

That's my new dog.

Is this what you wanted? Was it?

I see...

Here you go.

Hi
Hi

Thanks for bringing my clothes
You're welcome.

Thanks for taking care of
Miss Daisy
Of course

May I have her back, now? Sure.
She's in the living room.

Hi, Miss Daisy. Hi.

Hi... hi

Have you taken any walks?
Yeah, yeah

What have you given her to eat?
All kinds of things. Pizza

Dogs have very delicate
stomachs. They should
only get dog food.

The Lady and the Tramp eat
spaghetti and meatballs.

But Miss Daisy's a real dog.
Oh, right

Thank you very much for taking
care of her. It
was nice of you.

It's no big deal.

I'd like to do something in return.
You would?

So, if I kill myself,
you'll take care of my dog?

No, I mean, like doing you a favor.
I'm the woman who has everything.

It's important for me. I want
to do you a favor.

But, what?
I don't know. Just
think about it.

Come...

I suddenly had another dizzy
spell. Ulrik.

Hi
Hi

Nice to see you again.
Same to you.

What do you think I've bought
to you? Aw, Mum...

It's just a silly little
thing. Sweet, little quail eggs.

You needn't buy me so many
things. I know you like
this spicy p�t�.

Isn't that right? Yes. Shall
I make some coffee?

Dad's at the marina, and I have
to go pick him up, Ulrik

Don't call me that!

I don't get involved in your
affairs. I gave birth
to a boy. That's all.

My letter's coming soon and
then I'm having
that operation.

For sure.
No

Yes, I am.
No.

You can't expect to have the
operation just like that.

Why not?
You're too nervous.

You're much too unstable, Ulrik
No.

Let's see...

No, not them... Here they are.

What's this, now? I got the
ones you like.

Here.
What's that?

I bought him a present.

It's not necessary.

Yes, it is. No, not at all. You
shouldn't bother.

But... You can give it to
someone else.

Maybe I wasn't invited
to Dad's birthday-

But you can fucking well
give him a present!

Speak properly, now
Yes, but just take it.

Yeah, yeah yeah!

Bye, honey
Bye

Oh, fuck...

Hi
Hi

I've been thinking about it.
Really? And so?

I actually have something.
I want you to do for me.

Veronica's flirtation with
death puts Charlotte
in a situation

Where she has to show her
potential as guardian
angel and dogsitter.

Later, while fetching clothes
and dog food in
Veronica's flat

she unwittingly tosses the
possibly crucial letter-

Into the pile of advertisements

And, just as Veronica is starting
to face life again-

Charlotte wants to be paid
back for her help.

But what is Charlotte's price?

And will they ever be even?

Sweet music

How do you want them?

Just curtains, you know

I just don't want that creep
staring straight
into my bedroom.

It could be something romantic,
where they hang in
soft layers

No, completely normal ones.
Normal?

Yes, normal curtains.
That just hang straight

1.47, okay?

And 1.63

You could sew them with some
ribbons along the side
that hang down.

No.
No...

Okay, how about a pattern?
No, no patterns and no
flowers, either

No. What color?
Color?

I like gray.
And black and white

I have some light blue material.
No. Just normal curtain color.

"Curtain color"?
White

Oh... Right
That'll be fine.

You're wearing my foundation.
It suits you.

Thanks.

You actually look quite lovely

So they should just be plain white?
Are you blushing?

Nope...

1.47 high and 1.63...
That's cute.

I'll make them for you.

It all went so fast.
I never got to tell you
about myself.

Well... I'm divorced.

I'm a free man. We have a fine
relationship. We're on
speaking terms.

She's found someone new, so...
That's terrific!

Here's my home number, too.

What's going on here
at the bottom?

There? That's a ruffle

Yes, that's what it looks like

Come on, it's okay if it's
a little romantic.
This is a bedroom.

Right. Okay. Super-nice curtain.
I can take the ruffle off.

No, no, no. Don't. Cheers.
Cheers.

Happy curtains.

Don't you drink at all?

No, not much. I get
drunk so easily. Me, too.

Well, I assume you'
II stay for dinner

No, I'd better go back.

My favorite TV soap
is about to start.

Then you can just
watch it here.
No...

I'll make some food in
the meantime.

It's not just a TV, it'
s a sports screen.

I think the remote's over there.

I'll just plug it in... There.

Your own private cinema.

You watch this all the time?

That one hates all of them
because
she can't have
the one she loves.

So the blonde's the bad one
and the dark one'
s the good one?

No, not really.

That one there is always
jealous and she lies
to all of them.

She lies to herself, too
I see.

You shouldn't bite your nails.

Must be an exciting secret, huh?

Well... I think
I'
II go fix us some food.

What's going on with
those men?

What do you mean?
Those men who visit you?

I do sewing for people.

I shorten pants and put in
zippers and things like that.

Zippers?
I only get a small pension

Clothes and shoes
and make-up are expensive.

Then sewing's a good idea.
You're really good at it.

Thanks

Shall we play a party game?
What kind of party game?

I tell you a secret about
myself and you tell me a
secret about yourself.

I see. What secret?
Don't say it now.

You can't know it ahead of
time. Come on, you start.

I start...

I've never had a sweetheart.

Uhh... Haven't you?

Now it's my turn...
No. Do we
have to play this game?

Just talk about normal things

Okay

Whoever has the biggest
breasts, wins

Hey, a curtain party.
A curtain party in my bedroom!

With ruffles, too

Run out of steam, honey bunch?

Yes. Things are turning...

Turning...?

Hey, bitch,
you want me to fuck you?

What...?
Sorry, I don't know what I was doing

I'm having an operation
What?

I'm just waiting
for a letter from the authorities

If they let me,
then I'll be a real woman.

You're going to have it cut off?

Yes. They remove the penis
and make an artificial clitoris

They use the skin from the
scrotum to make the inside
of the vagina

They also attach the urethra
beneath the vagina wall-

so you pee
like
a real woman, too

You know what?
I think you
ought to get out of here

Get off your ass and your
pee-pee and fuck off
to your own flat!

There's no reason
to speak like that

Was there some part of that
sentence you didn't
understand?

Goodbye, VERONICA and thanks
for an enchanted evening

You don't deserve
anyone, either!

Do you want to feel
Mother's belt?

No, tell me how to touch my
self, Mother

"Yes, that's good, Mother.
Yes, that's good, Mother.
"Come on.

"Good, Mother?"
Good, Mother."

You're supposed to say how I'
m supposed to play
with myself

And that you'll scrub me clean
Yes, I know. My mistake.

What the hell are you doing?
It can't be so fucking
complicated

Get your shit together
Come on... Come on!

Just hold on. Shouldn't I just
give you some French at
no extra charge?

Isn't that okay?

Yes
Then bring that
thing over there

Come here

Hello?

Hello...?

During an otherwise innocent
celebration of her new
curtains-

Charlotte is overwhelmed by
such chaotic feelings-

that she suddenly and harshly
throws Veronica out
of her flat

And Veronica's world falls
apart once again

Loneliness and self-hatred
rise to the surface-

and she has difficulty coping

But who will save Charlotte, who
will soon find herself in
a situation-

where she's really
out of her depth?

Heart beats

Nope, you're drunk.
I don't want this.

Why are you so afraid of love?

Are you afraid of being dumped?

I'm not finished. I'm coming
in, yeah? Well, you're not.

Wow! Feeling those hormones, huh?

What the hell's this all
about, Charlotte?

You don't even dare unpack
and make yourself a home.

You're ready
to run away
again, aren't you?

Interesting observation

Yeah, you can hear what I say
is true. You can feel it,
can't you?

What is it? Are you
afraid of feelings?

You?
Discussing your feelings?

Can't you just answer
when I ask you something?

You needn't be afraid of me...

...Okay?

You fly's open

Look what the fuck
you made me do!

What the hell's with you?!

Why are you
such a fucking, dirty whore, huh?

Why?!
Stop it!

Stop it now! Get out.

Come on, go!

Goodbye!

I just want her back,
for Christ's sake.

I just want her back

Charlotte, I just want you
back, baby. I want you back

Get out of here!

Fuck off

But I have to see...
Fuck off!

I'm sorry

I said, I'm sorry

Careful, now.

Just these stairs, okay?
No.

Yes, you have to.

Come on. Come on. Down here.

Then you can lie down.

I'm cold.

Careful...

I feel nauseous

You've probably had
a little concussion.

No sleeping tonight. I'll wake
you up a couple of
times, at least

Put this on.

I want to lie down

You've already said that. I'
m making your bed, okay?

It hurts.

A lot of things do, don't they?

Good morning

No, Charlotte,
just stay lying down

I have to go to work.
You just stay there, I said.

Just call and say you'
re sick. Here.

I've made us
some delicious breakfast.

Nice, warm tea and...
What'd I do with that...?

Look. There's sunny-side-up
quail eggs with parsley

Toasted rolls and different
kinds of p�t�.

Spiced p�t�
and salmon p�t� and French p�t�.

You sure know how to
fight, don't you?

We'll have to postpone it.
I'm busy today.

Be quiet. I'll take you out
later.
Let me have a
look at that foot.

Must be someone who wants
his zipper fixed, don't
you think?

He really wants it fixed.
You keep quiet

Let's see if I can find it...

Ow, dammit!

That was that.
Damn it.

Why don't you wear a bra?

I don't have any breasts.
I take hormones but
they don't really help.

You could put cotton in it.
No, it feels silly

What about silicone?
I thought about that, too

They just don't feel natural,
no matter what they say.
I've felt some.

I can't remember
how breasts feel, at all

Have you ever felt any?

Maybe I could try feeling yours.

You're just sitting there
doing absolutely nothing

Yes, well,
mine are really fantastic

You mustn't watch television
if you have a concussion

Can't you dry the other foot
yourself I'll take wash
bowl out

Veronica...?

Yes?

Who are you?
My name's Charlotte

Where's Ulrik?

She's Probably out walking
the dog. I don't know, actually

I'm Ulrik's mother.
Yes... Won't you come in?

How do you know each other?
I live upstairs.

But... You sleep here?
Yes

I fell off my bicycle...

So she's
looking after me a bit.

Yeah, Yeah

This is for the dog. I don't like
that silly name he's given it.

No, it's pretty dumb.
Yes, it is, isn't it?

Would you like a glass of water?
Yes, yes, thanks

You have to promise me something
Yes?

Promise me
You'll look after him

He's very frail. You have to
treat him very gently.

Promise me

Promise me you'll look after him

Yes

of course
Thank you

I have to go now

Good morning.
Hi

Has my mother been here?
Yes

Why... Why are you
looking at me like that?

No special reason

Would you mind looking at
this foot. It still hurts.

I don't know
what's wrong with it.

I see. It probably needs to
soak in soap water again.

There's still probably
still a splinter

I'll make some tea, okay?

Are you leaving?

I can't just lie here
doing nothing at all

Now, maybe?

Now...? Now what?

Charlotte calls in sick after
her violent showdown
with Kristian

so she's
looking after me a bit.

But their intimacy
soon awakens other longings

But what about the letter
that's still lying forgotten
in Veronica's hall?

And have we really seen
the last of Kristian?

And isn't it
just hopeless to imagine-

That love
will conquer all?

Two souls

it's... it's tape

it doesn't matter

you... you better...

you better go back to your flat

yes, you must go back to your flat. No

yes. I don't to play
anymore. You have to go!

We can't... we can'
t play anymore. That's it

where are my clothes

hi, it's me

won't you come over?

Just come over, okay?

'
I m sorry

that's almost too much

I'm sorry, Charlotte. I'
m sorry, goddammit

I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'
m sorry, I'm sorry

can't you just forgive
me, Charlotte?

If you dance for me

you know I can't dance

if you dance for me, we'
II forget about that beating

Charlotte... come on, Kristian,
dance for me!

It's your only chance. I mean it

Charlotte, isn't this...
come on... dance

more, Kristian. Come on

come now, Charlotte...

you're dancing

I think I'll leave again

what is it you want?
Damned if I know

what would you like?

I'm ashamed. I've never
hit anymore

say what it is you'
d like... and you'll get it

what is it you want
absolutely most of all?

I... I want you

what'd you say? I can'
t hear you. I want you

louder. I want you!

Are you leaving? Yes.
I guess I have to go to work

I'm moving home again

yes. I think we should give
it another chance

okay...

you feel the same way,
too, don't you?

Or what? Yes

yes

so? What?

Nothing

I don't know what I'm doing
in this shitty neighborhood, anyway

hi... may I come in?

What do you want?

I can't be with anyone, can I?

Not with the body I have

and this is the only one I've got

and it's completely wrong.
Completely, totally wrong

but now I've met you and
would like to be with you

but I can't be with you

I don't... I don't
know what I'm capable of

it doesn't matter

it was just... some foolishness
on a sofa, wasn't it?

I can't be in love with you

you run around with a wig

and are having it cut off, and
everything

Kristian, come here a moment

isn't there something you
want to say to Veronica?

Yes...

yes, I... I'd like
to say I'm sorry

and I'd also like to say

that I respect what you did.
That you stopped me

that was well done

I'm not getting
involved in this

well, what shall we say?

We're not saying anything

what are you talking about now?

I can't, Kristian

watch out, miss daisy

I have good news

what kind of face is that?

Are you sad?

I have something that will
make you happy

I told dad I'm going to take
a class in Thai food

then I can come and really be
here every Tuesday afternoon

tell dad that you're coming
to visit me

I'll call you Veronica

if that's what you want.
I'll just come another day

no, mum, tell dad that you
come to see me

and tell him I'm your and
his child

no matter what I do or what he
thinks of it

but you know how he is. I don'
t want those

you're going to have to tell
him, otherwise you can'
t come here anymore

mother... I've been given
permission to have the
operation

I love you.

You know I can't come back,
maybe we've never
met before

love is... promise, darling

that's a promise about
protecting and forgiving

you know you save me, Robert

I'm just confused with this guy

no, it's true

you save me with your love

nothing is big than our love

well...

well, what?

I just want to say I'm sorry.
It doesn't matter now

I've been given permission
by the authorities

I'm having the operation

yes, you are

I was thinking about your nails

what do you mean? Because
you bite them

real women don't bite their nails

no

I still owe you a secret, too

yes

we only heard yours. I have
one I want to tell you

what's this secret, then?
