Are you nervous?

You can't fool your mum, Tomasz!

It just feels a bit weird to become a dad.

Little me.

I understand that.

You're not much more than a child yourself.

That's not what I meant.

Do this if you get nervous.

I do it sometimes when I'm going to give a lecture.

-Like this? -No. Circles, circles.

Circles, Tomasz.

How hard can it be?

Everyone expecting a child feels scared.

If others manage, I will manage too.

Right?

I shouldn't be talking to you.

What did I say now?

Just a piece of advice:

Stay away during the actual birth.

A human being coming out of another is both wonderful and inconceivable.

But it's not for you.

Of course I'll be present.

You will vomit, and ruin the atmosphere.

You can't take those things.

You're being unfair.

I just tell it like it is.

Remember when Iwo cut his hand?

To the bone! The blood just kept flowing.

Do as you wish.

But maybe it's not that great for the kid so see you first of all.

You're not being very kind now, Mum.

If you're here to hassle me, you can just leave again.

Don't sulk now.

It's only a dream.

Only a dream?

But it's still you.

May I lie between you?

Oh, my God, Mum. Go away!

-Then where should I lie? -Wherever the hell you want!

What a language, Tomasz!

Did you learn that from Boris?

I'll talk to his mum.

Good night.

You disappoint me, Tomasz.

You always disappoint me.

And now you disappointed me again.

I'm not a Christian anymore.

-You dumped God? -Yes.

Isn't it a bit unfair…

…to take it out on God, that stuff with the priest?

The wanking priest doesn't exist in a vacuum, you know.

The wanking priest and God are both parts of the same problem.

Suzy, I'm sure God will take this in stride.

So no God?

No heaven?

-No. -No life after death?

No, I don't think so.

What about Mum?

I don't know. If that's the way it is,

I have to accept it.

Yes. Good.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye!

We have arrived at what everyone has been anticipating.

This has been a very special group, with lots of very strong candidates.

It was hard to select one person.

But we've been considering this, and we have decided that…

Ivar is the one who will return now.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Ivar is best! Ivar is best!

-I'm going home first! -Yes, okay…

Ivar, sit down!

-Sit down. -Yes!

Congratulations, Ivar. I'm happy for you.

Hello! What happened here now?

-I won! -I got that!

What was going on here? Can anyone please explain?

No one knows the answer?

Well, then I suggest…

…we have a look at this together.

-Ivar is best! -Could you sit down, please?

Ivar, sit down!

Congratulations, Ivar. I'm happy for you.

What's your opinion on your own behavior, Ivar?

I was just overjoyed.

And empathic towards the others?

Yes. Joy, and that's a good thing, right?

-You gloated! -I thought the trial was over.

The trial is never over!

Empathy cannot be turned on or off!

I told you this on the first day!

On the first day!

-Does this mean I can't go home? -As a matter of fact, yes.

Bloody hell!

What about the rest of you?

Did you show Ivar you were happy for him?

-Hilde? -I could have done better.

-Thank you. -But is this allowed?

-Sorry? -You tricked us.

Everything is allowed.

To me, this is all wrong.

Only one person here, my friend,

reacted in a way which shows…

…that she got something out of the time we've spent together.

Karianne, you congratulated Ivar,

and you were pretty friendly.

Could you tell us what you thought?

I guess I didn't think much.

Did you hear that? "I guess I didn't think much."

And that's, actually,

what empathy is all about.

What?!

Karianne,

are you ready…

…to return?

-Me? -Yes, you.

-You're not fooling us this time? -No.

No, Karianne.

-You're absolutely sure? -Yes.

That's really sad for Ivar.

That's the way it has to be.

I've become so fond of all of you by now…

Imagine me winning over all these wonderful people!

It really makes me feel humble.

It's almost like I don't want to go home.

-Do I go to the garden city? -Have you started anticipating?

Just take it easy. This is going to be just fine.

Won't you all wish her good luck?

-Good luck… -Good luck…

Louder, so she will believe you.

Good luck!

Hi there.

Hi.

Your boat?

Yes.

You don't use it much.

No.

A lot of work with a boat like that.

Yes, there's always something to be done.

Little things.

You wouldn't like to sell it?

No…

No, I don't think so.

I see.

Going out there?

I thought I would.

It's nice out there now.

Oh, well…

-Have a nice trip. -Thank you.

You! Hey!

Needs a lot of repair work.

You've kind of neglected this, right?

I lost my enthusiasm, somehow.

There was so much to do.

How much do you want for it?

I'm really not sure…

How much could it be worth?

This turned out a bit too impulsive.

And anyway, I don't know if I can afford it.

And my wife…

…will definitely not appreciate it.

Then you'd better keep it a secret.

Yes, maybe.

Nice bike.

29-incher with Bontrager wheels and saddle.

XTR equipment all over.

Terrific machine, this one.

Would you like to swap?

-Where are you going? -To Santiago de Compostela.

-That pilgrim spot? -Yes.

With some mates?

No, on my own.

Why?

The priest recommended it.

The priest? Are you seeing a priest?

-You know I am. -No.

I can't really follow you here.

Isn't it a very long way to walk there?

If you put one foot in front of the other…

…a sufficient number of times, then you'll get there in the end.

When you talk that way, I realize…

…I've let you hang around the wrong people a bit too long.

I've been slightly too liberal,

and I blame myself for it.

I need that trip.

I thought you were on top of things.

-But there's still something. -Well, that's life, you know.

-Why don't you come with me? -I'd like to,

but I can't.

-It's my first day in a new job. -That's today?

Will you wear a cape, a stick and the whole package?

This is 2015.

Here's the money.

Thank you.

The bedroom as well.

-In the same color? -Yes. All white.

Okay.

All white…

Hamsun, Ibsen, Hamsun, Ibsen.

Don't they have anything else in this country?

Listen.

They're only for decoration. They're never read.

I'm looking forward to reading for Korak.

-Have you got kids? -Two. A boy and a girl.

-In Poland? -Yes.

Don't you miss them?

All the time.

This one is actually quite good.

"It was during the time I wandered about,

and starved in Kristiania."

Kristiania is Oslo.

"This singular city,

from which no man departs,

without carrying away the traces of his sojourn there."

Hi, Anneli.

What?

But…

Should I…?

Anneli, just…

I'll be right there!

Let's see…

You're so often in a bad way, Dad.

Yes, I guess I'm pretty clumsy.

What did you need the ladder for?

To climb up to the ass of a giraffe.

Very funny.

Nothing to do around here.

You won, my boy.

-Was Trond disappointed? -Maybe a little bit.

I can imagine.

He doesn't like losing.

It's going to look nice on your shelf.

Is this place that boring?

See if you can find some more crutches,

and you can compete.

Hi.

-Hi there! -Out for a stroll?

Yes. Going to work.

At NRK.

-My first day. -I'm sure it will be fine.

I should think so…

-That TV series? -Yes.

-Murderer Unknown. -Exciting.

Looking forward to it?

I've got a good feeling.

It will be nice to have colleagues again.

Kind of lonely to be a director?

Sometimes, maybe.

And then it's time to get out.

-Where are you going? -To the hospital. Vidkun is ill.

-Anything serious? -No.

I don't feel like talking about it.

Anything embarrassing?

No, nothing like that.

It's just boring to talk about illness.

Tell him I hope he gets better soon.

I will.

I'd better get going.

-You're a nice guy, Jørgen. -Thank you.

-I've thought of you after that night. -You have?

It was a nice evening.

You and I,

we could have been one of those artistic couples.

Yeah, maybe you're right!

-So tell me, if your husband dies. -Jørgen!

Good luck with your work.

It will be a success, I can feel it.

What matters is to make something which is important so someone.

I feel the same way.

If it matters to one single person,

-it's worth it. -Exactly.

Tomasz!

-What happened to you? -I got so scared.

-What? -I panicked.

-This is not good. It's pathetic. -I know.

We'll talk about it later.

Mum messed up for me.

Assume responsibility, go in,

in and give her a story that she can live with.

-You want me to lie? -Of course!

You fell off your bike.

You pedaled as fast as you could, and was hit by a car.

You hit your head hard, and got here late.

What are you doing?!

You need a mark, so she'll believe you.

That really hurt!

-And a bit of… -Stop it!

Stay! Don't…

Just stay!

-Hi. -Hi.

Hi…

Look at him…

Anneli, I…

I was…

Terrified.

-Forgive me! -It's okay.

No!

-I would also have run off. -You would?!

This is insane.

That the kid just pops out like that.

You…

You've got something there.

Right. Dad slapped me.

-Slapped you? Why? -Well, it…

Never mind.

-You must never hit your kid. -No, never!

Never, Anneli.

-There, there. -Hush now.

-Hush now. -There, there…

Little Korak!

Think we'll have to find a new name.

Why?

It's a little girl.

What?

It's a girl?

No!

-It's a girl? -Yes.

But…

-A girl? -Yes!

-You were wrong?! -Yes!

Listen, we could call her Elsebeth, after your mum.

No, we'll find something better.

Jesus!

A girl?!

I'm the father of a girl!

It's a girl!

Trouble?

The chain comes off all the time.

Nice bike.

How much do you want for it?

I brought a book.

Let's move a little closer to each other.

Not so far apart.

This last year has been a strange one,

right?

A lot of things happened.

I think we have learned a lot.

Yes…

-Could you read something, Mum? -Yes.

Mum is going to read.

Hi.

Hi.

Would you consider buying this?

No, we've got our drawers full of that stuff.

How about trading it for something?

Depends on what.

Maybe a record?

A record sounds good.

I'll grab this one.

Have you got a key card?

It's shut down.

-What is? -The department is shut down.

Is Drama shut down?

When did that happen?

Just before the weekend. Don't you watch the news?

I was supposed…

-…to start working here. -Then someone should have called you.

It was shut down? Just out of the blue?

Well, it's been in the cards for a while.

-It has? -Yes.

If you need pens or pads or whatever, just grab it.

Or else it will be thrown away.

Hi, this is Dad.

I don't know where you are,

but couldn't you just drop that pilgrimage?

That NRK stuff didn't come about anyway.

Which is maybe just as well.

I'm not a TV man.

So now I've got time.

I guess I could join you…

…for the trip, if you'd like me to.

I don't really feel like it,

and I wish you wouldn't want to either.

There must be better things we could do.

Go tenting,

fishing, and so on.

Maybe you could think about it?

At least, I think it would be great…

…if you could come back.

It's not easy for me to express my feelings.

But, I think…

I think you are a very nice person, whom I would love…

…to spend more time with.

So, would you please return my call,

so I'll know where you are, at least?

Talk to you later.

Hello?

If I've got the time?

Actually, I do.

Yes…

Go ahead.

Yes, I'm a man. You guessed right.

48 years old.

Married. No, newly separated!

Three.

One son, and two daughters from an earlier relationship.

But I have no contact with them any longer.

I'm an artist.

-Less paint will make it more even. -All right.

-I'm just mentioning it. -It's all right!

Don't be grumpy now.

She's not totally free from it.

-What do you mean? -She is also a little clairvoyant.

-I don't think so. -She is.

-How can you see that? -I just see it.

Now, for instance.

Look, she sees something!

No, those are just beautiful baby eyes.

You'd better go.

-You're not very nice. -Don't make such a fuss.

-That's just the way we are. -This girl is not clairvoyant.

-If you say so. -And if she is,

I'll give her so much love that it passes.

You should have done so too.

I think the atmosphere turned unpleasant here.

It's so hysterical.

When I was a kid,

you were supposed to fall and hurt yourself, and so on.

That was part of the upbringing.

The grooves should be on the inside.

No Look, it says here.

No, it says that the clamp should have the grooves on that side!

I can see what it says. I understand Norwegian.

But this Norwegian is slightly complicated.

You're kind of an all-thumbs type.

Come again?

I didn't mean it that way.

I can do this on my own.

I need to be alone for a while.

Do you want me to leave?

Maybe that's best.

-For ever? -Don't be so dramatic!

I just need some time on my own.

That's okay.

Do you love your dad a little bit?

Of course. Yes, a little bit.

Look at this.

This looks cozy.

I just need to tell you something.

You're…

…a beautiful family!

Absolutely beautiful.

Thank you.

But now it's time for blood pressure.

Your blood pressure is perfect.

I saw you in the newspaper, Line.

-Record and everything. -Oh, right.

-How do you manage? -Well, we're keeping ourselves busy.

-And it never gets to be too much? -Yes, of course.

Not everyone can keep up this pace.

But we should be honest and acknowledge our luck.

We are a resourceful family.

Yes, or you wouldn't have managed.

I guess you're right.

We would have had to arrange things differently.

Simply reduce our activities.

Yes…

-Hi! -Hi!

No pilgrimage?

No, I dropped it.

I tried to call you.

I had put it in silent mode. I didn't want to disturb.

-Where have you been? -I stopped by the school.

Hey, that's great.

Did it turn out well?

Yes, it was fine.

You've been there until now?

No, I joined Steinar and Marius in a game of football.

Okay.

Did you win?

We just played for fun.

Did you eat? There are leftovers in the fridge.

I'll have a shower first.

What are you watching?

One of those documentaries.

There are actually any good programs.

I'll start watching more TV.

Did you hear my message?

No.

It's not that important now.

School was not that bad.

I might go there tomorrow as well.

Okay.

Have your shower now, and we'll talk afterwards.

-Hello.-Hi!

-How are you doing?-Good.

-Did she fall asleep?-Yes, finally.

Great.

Listen, I miss you guys!

We'll be home soon.

Do you know what your husband did?

-I have secured the whole apartment.-That's great.

Drawers and shelves and doors.

The toilet is secured and everything!

I don't want to be fearful.

She should be able to run and jump and still be safe.

Climb everywhere, look out the window,

and enjoy the view!

Hold on. She just woke up.

Of course I'll wait.

Tomasz, I have to hang up, she's so agitated.

Hello?

Tomasz?

What is it?

No…

I guess I'm all right.

Glad to hear that.

Sentimental today, Hugo?

Yes.

Nice music.

Yes.

Here you are.

No!

I don't want any visitors now. We're having such a good time.

Right?

More?

-Shouldn't we answer the doorbell? -Why?

Everyone I care about is here already.

The media seem to have ownership of sexuality.

They tell us what's normal.

How often and how.

If we don't do it as often as they want,

they make us think that the relationship is dead.

It's all over.

It creates a lot of damage. I observe this every day.

In reality, there is as much variation as there are couples.

Some do it often, some hardly ever.

Some want to try everything, others are more traditional,

and happy that way.

Everyone has problems, in their own way.

Those who come here, dare to confront their problems face to face.

So it's positive?

-In a way? -Definitely.

Just like I told you.

Remember?

We wouldn't have been here…

…if we didn't want the relationship to function.

As long as we want something, it's not quite dead.

That sums it up nicely.

It's been a good initial conversation.

Let's take it from here.

It feels good to get the process started.

The people in the house at the corner…

…are moving out. What are they called?

Please be quiet, I'm trying to read.
