EXPENSES CHILDREN

Total expenses from 0 to 17 years: Girl: 955,770. Boy: 969,050

Why did you get up?

Tomasz, we cannot be parents.

Yes, we can.

I have no income whatsoever now that I'm unclairvoyant.

Anneli…

Okay…

You could get into something else.

It's the only thing I know how to do.

-I earn a bit of money. -Not enough.

We don't even have enough for the loan on the apartment. 13,200 a month.

Yes, and that's quite a lot.

Do you know the price of a good pram?

-Not really. -Try to guess.

Maybe 14,000.

Of course not 14,000.

Then 7,000.

It doesn't matter!

We can buy it second hand. The point is…

…there's a lot of expenses before birth.

And then there'll be 18 years…

18 years of food, clothes, leisure activities, presents…

But we could take one day at a time.

You don't take this seriously enough.

-You are just as much a father now. -It's still slightly abstract.

It's just as much your job to be worried.

Other people have parents who can help out.

We've got no one.

My mum has no money.

Couldn't you try to find your father?

No…

No! We don't even know if he's got any money.

We don't know if he doesn't. We know nothing.

Could you…?

-Could you just try to find him? -No!

I don't feel like it.

If it's not the teacher or the bus driver, Mum must have…

With one of the pupils. They were like 15 years old!

They're not 15 any longer.

-I know. -Show me that photo.

Okay.

Here.

I don't look like any of them.

You look like several of them.

I don't think so.

Maybe him.

I know who this guy is.

Hugo.

He lives in a big house, and I'm sure he's loaded.

-We don't look alike. -But you're not that different either.

Why don't you try talking to him?

Come on. I'm sure he knows positively who your father is.

15 year old boys will boast about it if they have slept with someone.

But…

-I don't know where you'd like to sit. -I'll sit somewhere in the middle.

-Number 7. My lucky number. -Of course.

Yes, it is. Exactly.

-When was its first opening night? -In the early '90s.

But this is a completely different film, my production…

My responsibility.

Cut and edited my way.

I had some disagreements with the producer.

-Who was the producer? -Birger.

I see.

-You worked together? -Several times, a long time ago.

I bought back the rights, so now I'm in full control.

-That's good. -Fully responsible.

Then we just have to start.

Let's do it.

Start the film!

Okay…

That's enough.

Kristian, when is he…?

We'll meet him at 2 o'clock.

We have to watch the rest of the film.

-There are some major changes later. -I saw this film when it was launched.

-Where did it open? -At Klingenberg Cinema.

In my opinion,

the reading of the film is now completely different.

And I have changed nearly the entire music score.

-It was terrible at times. -It reminds me of a Swedish film.

-There's something Swedish about it. -Yes…

You have to see the whole film before you make a decision.

No, we don't need to.

I think we should show it.

At Klingenberg. Maybe also in some other, more intimate,

good theaters. So, we'll get this together.

Eva, you're busy with…

Thank you.

Could you fill out this?

Where am I?

Bring it when your name is called out.

I don't believe I'm supposed to be here.

Yes, but you will proceed.

Proceed?

-Hello. -Would you fill out this form, please?

Name in full: Year of death:

Hi.

-Hi. -May I help you?

My name is Tomasz Novak. I'm from Kraków.

I don't have anything special that needs to be done.

Everything's done.

Sorry, but it's not about a job.

I have a photo here.

Is it correct that this is you?

-I'll be… Yes, it is. -Yes?

This is Kraków. On a school trip to Auschwitz.

My goodness.

That's a long time ago.

I got this photo from my mother.

She was a guide at Auschwitz.

She's standing right there.

I remember her.

Nine months after your class left,

I was born.

And she told me my father is in this picture.

I'm not your father.

No. Yes. No…

But maybe you know who it might be?

It could have been…

Several of them, I think.

What…?

Not like that.

But she was quite…

A happy…

A happy girl. Very sociable.

-And we were a gang which… -A gang?!

-Yes, but… -Okay.

Thanks.

Did you find out anything?

It's not much fun to walk around and ask people…

…if they've slept with your mum!

-You cannot give up now. -I don't need a daddy!

-We need a daddy. -It's going to be all right!

Hi.

This is Hugo Vindenes.

Hello!

Yes, it was.

Yes, I'm doing quite okay.

Yes, thank you.

Just have to take one day at a time.

I wondered if you would like to come around for a modest dinner.

Together with some of the guys. Vidkun,

Hans-Petter and…

Exactly.

The good old Auschwitz gang.

Isn't it?

I thought that could be nice.

That's great.

-Where am I going now? -We'll see.

A place where people like you end up.

-People who resemble me? -Yes.

-Are they very much like me? -Yes.

If I had known…

That I would be broken off so early,

I would probably have lived differently.

So, that evaluation…

…is not based on a whole life.

There are sides of me which I have never used.

That's a bit hard for us to evaluate.

It was just bad luck,

-with the car. -Is it really true that it costs…

…more than 1.6 million?

With all the extra equipment, yes.

I've got kids. This means safety.

-SUVs are not safer. -There are beams in the doors.

And airbags being inflated everywhere.

-I went for the full package. -The center of gravity is too high.

-Really? -Yes.

False and expensive safety.

But in a crash it's an advantage if you've got the biggest car.

Not for the other car.

I could have…

…taken that into account if I'd had more time to think about it.

Or not think about it.

I regret buying the car.

But I have paid my taxes.

I've stayed in shape.

Isn't that worth something?

If I could live all over again,

I would have done a lot of things differently.

I would have loved Hugo more.

He's really a nice man.

And my kids.

Suzy…

Gjardar…

I would have loved them more!

It can't be that bad?

Hi. May I help you?

May I have the ID card of the woman over there?

-Better now? -Not really.

We considered your case.

We are offering an opportunity to people…

…who wasted their lives to a particularly high degree.

They get a last chance to show what they're good for,

and in the best case…

They'll be returned.

-Returned? -Yes, in the best case.

We'll give you a card. Keep it with you at all times.

And a timetable.

If you follow the course, and distinguish yourself…

-Yes…? -Then you might be returned.

But the odds are pretty bad. And I mean really bad.

-You understand? -Thanks a lot.

Hi.

Hi.

This is for you.

-What is it? -Serafin's clarinet.

-Why should I have that? -If you miss him,

you've got the clarinet.

I don't miss his clarinet.

-I miss him. -I miss him too.

He was a very good person.

-What do you want? -To give you a clarinet.

I applied for the caretaker job.

But I didn't get it. Why?

They hired a Paki instead of me. A Paki!

I was very qualified.

-Why do you want to be a janitor? -I want the house!

Just buy an apartment.

I don't have that kind of money.

Anyway, this area is overrated.

I would like to live in an overrated area.

Make friends.

Find a good woman…

But they gave the job to the Paki.

Not a nice white man like me.

The Pakistanis came here in the '70s.

-You came here much later. -But we are Europeans.

We are like brothers.

Or cousins, at least.

But the Pakis don't belong here.

You don't even speak the language.

I have some problems with that.

There has to be…

…more ways to be integrated.

-Try to love nature. -Why would I?

Norwegians walk around in nature.

-Do you love nature? -No.

But I don't have to. Because my ancestors did.

That makes no sense.

We keep it clean down this way, a bit of info down here, and then…

Vårsug.

"Vår."

Not "sug?"

That was the producer's idea. I never liked it.

He thought it would sell.

-It didn't work so well? -No.

"Vår…"

The spring season, or vår, something one owns jointly?

Both.

I like it.

It's nice to have you back.

It's good to be back.

Jens Christian?

Are you ill?

No, I'm just resting.

-For sure? -Yes.

-Tell me if there's anything I can do. -You could have taken your shoes off.

Of course.

It's so dirty in here that I thought it wasn't so important.

It's noisy.

Okay.

I understand.

Your business is going well?

-It's just childish. -It wasn't meant to be anything else?

-But it's very childish. -It's not even nicely made.

Now you're talking bullshit.

It's fabulous.

I'll be quiet.

Yell if you need me.

I'm still your father, in spite of everything.

Okay.

-Could anyone answer the doorbell? -I'll do it.

-Smells great. -Thanks.

Long time. I've been trying to find out how long, but…

Hi, Trond.

-Look at that. Hello, man! -Hi.

-Nice to see you. -You too.

You've grown into a man.

-Hi, Hugo. My condolences. -Thanks.

What would you like to drink?

Water, please. I love water.

Right…

-There you go. -Thanks.

Please serve yourselves.

Welcome.

It's been a long time, right?

Quite a few years.

It was nice of you to come at such short notice.

-Just dig in, guys. -Right.

Thanks.

So…

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

They say you just have to give it time…

…when it comes to these things.

Yes… It's a bit hot still.

Large shells.

It was an insane…

You remember the guide in Auschwitz?

-Elizabeth? -Elizabeth.

She is the reason why we are the Auschwitz gang.

Like they say in Denmark:

Those who shag together, stay together.

-We didn't shag her simultaneously. -But still.

We don't exactly stick together either.

But we're still the Auschwitz gang, right?

Yes…

As a matter of fact,

I didn't sleep with her.

Everyone slept with her.

No.

You said you did.

You were all boasting, and didn't want to feel left out.

I see.

This Polish guy…

…came knocking at my door.

He said,

his mother was a guide in Auschwitz in '85.

-You mean our guide? Elizabeth? -Yes.

And…

And he said she'd told him that…

His father was…

Is…

Is someone from our bus.

Okay…

Did he look like any of us?

At least not strikingly.

But we agree that the father sits at this table?

Maybe it would be wise to have a test?

-A DNA test? -Yes.

We don't need to relate…

…exactly how many his mother slept with.

Only who is the father.

You would also like to know, right?

Fair enough.

You do have a kind of responsibility.

What do you mean by "you?"

Well, I did take her home…

That one night.

And she was very sweet. But sex was never an issue.

I got a hug.

-And that was good enough. -Trying to escape responsibility?

I'll let myself be tested.

-But I lied. -Why?

I lied a lot in my teenage years.

There are worse things to lie about.

Maybe you two…

…can take the test?

We don't have to. We can refuse.

Don't you want to know if you've got a son?

-I guess so. -You have to take responsibility.

Yes…

I can take the test.

-But will he pay? -It's on me.

-I meant, in principle. -A child is a gift in any case.

-This is no child. -A grown-up child.

That's a nice thing.

You don't have any.

-I have stepchildren. -It's not quite the same.

No, no…

-Who knows? -So, we just have to…

To go through with the test, Hans-Petter…

-Just have one. -Thank you.

We don't need the test. I didn't sleep with her.

I was just bragging.

What did you just say?

-I was only bragging. -Hello!

Are you trying to run away from your responsibility now?

You're the one who claimed she was so damn horny.

I wasn't trustworthy. It was wishful thinking.

You fingered her on the kitchen top, and you did it…

…doggy style in the toilet.

Just a bluff, unfortunately.

I don't believe that for a minute.

-Usually you don't… -It's like this:

I could not have sex with anyone before I got older.

I had major complexes concerning my body.

-I didn't dare to be naked. -What the hell?

Why was that?

My chest was so hollow. I looked so feeble.

I can't recall this. We all saw you in the shower.

I thought there was something strange about me.

So I couldn't be naked around anyone before I was…

All grown up, so to speak.

And what about now?

Now I can.

Now I'm totally happy about my body, and I love to be naked.

Almost a bit too much.

Right…

Yes.

I guess that saved us from taking the test.

Where's the loo?

Out in the corridor.

Okay…

-May I have a little more? -Of course.

Some of the good stuff at the bottom.

Could you cool it a bit?

It's supposed to be for everyone.

There's a lot left. A whole lot.

Hugo?

Hans-Petter…

-Just serve yourself. -Thank you.

Trond…

He seemed like a really decent boy.

It's not a bad thing to have a craftsman in your close family.

I'm sure it's not me.

It has to be you.

No.

I believed you.

The day after, I made a pass at her.

But I was rejected. So I tried to feel her up.

You were the one who said she was so damn hot.

Trond.

You can't pull out just because everyone else does.

Like I said,

I tried to feel her up, and then she…

…knocked me right down.

And continued to kick me while I was on the ground.

So, you were beat up by Elizabeth?

You claimed some Germans did it.

Yes, I did!

-You understand why, right? -You and Kiran went to the police.

It wasn't my idea.

He said we had to report it, when he saw me.

So, nobody here slept with her?

Bloody hell!

The Polish guy was absolutely sure it was someone from our bus.

Any one of us.

After all, she was a slut.

Didn't we just find out…

…she was not a slut?

You're right.

Bjørni told us he had slept with her.

Bjørn was a pitiful fellow.

He just wanted to become a member of the Auschwitz gang.

But…

Did we all speak the truth here?

-Did we? -Yes.

Then it's got to be Bjørn.

Bloody hell!

Help!

Help!

He didn't dye it. He used one of those powerful toners.

Don't you think it looks very natural?

Yes. But it would be better…

…for someone with a more healthy complexion.

What do you mean by that?

You are rather pale.

-I'm not that pale. -Yes, very pale.

There's nothing wrong with your complexion.

And your hair color is great. But put together, it looks silly.

-I don't think you're being very nice. -You asked. There's your answer.

Anyway, I'm pretty pale myself.

Okay.

Well, everyone.

What do we think about this?

This must be acceptable.

You think so?

It must be possible to tell a friend…

…that she has done something incredibly silly.

Could we imagine any other ways of giving advice?

She wasn't extremely good at receiving advice.

That also counts, doesn't it?

In addition, she admitted she was pretty pale too.

She met her halfway.

-Yes, Ivar? -Will we get this on our exams?

But, Ivar, we have talked about this many times.

There are no exams.

-I forgot it again. -This must be the last time.

Okay.

Are there any tools which could make the situation less…

Less offensive?

Could you repeat that?

You could say something nice.

And then something less nice afterwards, so she won't feel sad.

A very good strategy.

Thank you.

So: "Say something nice…

…first."

But it was for her own good.

Could we imagine you telling her…

…that her hair color was nice,

-but that it used to be nicer? -Maybe a little late,

since she has already dyed her hair.

Maybe your friend's taste is different from yours?

Maybe we could call her anonymously,

and tell her the new hair color is ugly.

Just a suggestion.

It's kind of hard to see the advantage of this.

Nobody knows who you are when you are anonymous.

Well, yeah…

-What about you, Kari-Lise? -Would you like to share…

…some of your thoughts with us?

-Karianne. -Karianne. Sorry.

I don't really know.

No?

I would like to think about it.

So, you have no suggestions?

Well, yes…

But I would like to think about it first.

Yes.

That's very nice.

Very nice initiative, Karianne.

You said "think."

"Think…

…before…

…you talk."

-Thank you. -Thank you, too.

Let's see the footage one more time.

My goodness!

Anneli, look at this.

It's incredible what people throw into containers.

There was a sofa in there…

But I brought…

Look how nice!

Hi.

Hi.

Bjørn Ødegårdstuen.

Tomasz Novak.

I'm sorry, I have to…

Tomasz.

This is your father.

Hi.

Hi.

Hi.

You do look alike.

Yes. Maybe a little.

-What happened? -Oh…

Nothing.

This was kind of abrupt.

Maybe…?

-Maybe we should go for a walk? -Yes, that would be nice.
