Original subtitles

There was an orphanage, just outside the city.

The children lived happily there. They had plenty to eat.

The adults took good care of them.

Every year the care workers went with them to a summer holiday camp.

But not this year. The care workers said:

"Nobody will go to the holiday camp with you this summer

because we aren't being paid."

So you'll have to stay home this year.

Shit!

Stupid morons!

How can they do this to us?

We want to go somewhere!

But where could we go?

I know where! I was sailing with my father once,

and we found a deserted island.

We can go there. - How would we get there?

First we take the train, then we find a boat.

We can borrow some tents from the Youth Club,

it's closed in the summer anyway.

Yeah, that's a great idea!

We don't take any girls.

Just the boys.

And who will cook for us, if we don't take the girls?

I'll only go if I can bring my teddy bear.

No, you can't bring toys. There's no place for that stuff in the boat.

But I need him!

We only take what we need.

Everyone will know what we're up to, if we have suitcases and sleeping bags.

They'll realize what we're planning.

We need to bring pots and pans.

How long will we be gone?

Well, at least a week.

So, we need meals for 14 people,

for one week.

Where do we get the money?

We could always ask the grownups, but it's better to just steal it.

Not so loud, someone will hear us!

Bring that.

And this too.

And onions.

LEAVE US ALONE

Life's so simple in the summer

We're the children of the sun

The city is gray and dull

We go to the boats, and live on the beach

Winter is over now

We're leaving the city

We're as free as the wind

Life's so simple in the summer

We're the children of the sun

The city is gray and dull

We go to the boats, and live on the beach

When the sun shines, life's easy and fun

We're going on a journey, the adventure of our lives

We travel together

and decide where to live!

So please leave us alone, leave us alone, leave us alone!

Life's so simple in the summer

We're the children of the sun

Winter is over now

We're leaving the city

We're going on a journey, the adventure of our lives

We travel together

Please leave us alone,

Leave us alone,

Leave us alone!

I'm tired already.

Can we stop here?

No, I want to keep going.

You can have a drink of water. - Yes, I'm thirsty.

Oh you clumsy fool!

If you go that way from our side of the island, you'll see nothing but water.

Knock it off.

Stop it! - Why?

Cut it out! - No.

Stop! Now you're going to get it.

Do you give up?

- Do you give up? - No ...

- Do you give up? - Yes!

What are you doing there?

Digging a pit.

What do you need a pit for?

It'll come in handy for something ...

Let me try. - Okay.

But it's my pit.

Give me back my shovel!

You'll feel this way later, when your emotions get stronger.

You'll think about boys more often.

No, I don't think so.

- Should we take off our blouses? - Okay.

Listen to this: "He pulled her tightly against him."

"The way she felt was indescribable. All she could say to him was,

"'I love you!' And then his hands embraced her tenderly ..."

"And she felt a happiness she had never experienced before."

That's so romantic!

... and still no news about the 15 children

who disappeared from the orphanage.

An eyewitness may have sighted them traveling to Sweden together.

A number of items disappeared from the orphanage,

Including a grill. Which suggests that

they're planning an extended trip.

This may have come about as a result of their caretakers going on strike

leaving the children with no summer activities to occupy them ...

They're talking about us on the news. But how come they think

we're going to Sweden?

We're headed in the opposite direction.

Maybe Jens lied to us.

You think I'm lying to you? Call me a liar again, and I'll beat your ass!

Take it easy!

Has anyone seen the plastic bags with the bread, butter, and cheese,

that we bought in the supermarket?

I gave them to him.

- No you didn't. - Yes, I did.

- Say that again. - You had them.

It doesn't matter who lost them. What matters is, they're gone.

Somebody left them somewhere. Henrik is a moron!

If anyone wants cookies and soda, come here.

Do you sleep in your boots?

Someone here keeps farting, it stinks like hell.

Don't blow your smoke in my face!

Here, take a drag.

There's a draft here, it's making me feel sick.

It doesn't matter where you are, there's a draft everywhere.

It's also here, it's the same.

But you lie between me and him.

So you don't feel the draft. - I'm getting sick.

If you want to stay here, then lie down there.

Two men were masturbating, and one said: "You know this will make you go blind, right?"

And the other one answered: "No big deal. I'll stop when I need glasses."

You know why they build round houses for crazy people?

I have no idea.

So they don't pee in the corners.

Where's the boat?

The boat's gone.

There it is, way out to sea!

Didn't you tie the boat up yesterday?

It broke free. So far out there now ... this is bad!

- You have to swim out and get it. - All our supplies are out there.

No, Henrik, you can't!

You won't make it!

This is really bad. Shit, man! Why couldn't you tie it up properly?

Leave Henrik alone. Let's get the others.

You really are an asshole Henrik! Stupid son of a bitch!

Hey man, not so much. Everyone gets a share.

We only have enough food for four days.

It doesn't matter. This is not a problem. You can read about it in any children's book.

On uninhabited islands you can always find food. We can hunt birds and animals.

We can go fishing.

Maybe we'll catch a whale. That's a lot of food!

Better yet, a tiger or a lion.

- Sven? - What?

- Are you asleep? - No.

Do you want to get under my blanket?

Okay.

Let's take off our underpants.

Okay, we can do that.

I feel a little strange.

Hey, they're all still asleep.

Ready? One, two, three!

Hey, what the fuck?!

Who did this?

We have to wash this, even if we don't have any washing powder.

I seriously like Martin.

Who do you like?

Jens.

No, he's so rude.

I don't think he's rude. - Why?

He's putting on an act. - What for?

So the other guys don't think he's a weakling. I'd like to get to know him better.

I think he's a nice guy.

What are you doing? Making soup?

- Yes, nettle soup. - Nettle soup?

Oh, that's great.

Then we'll go fishing.

The soup is very nutritious and the little kids have nervous stomachs.

They have stomach aches, so we have to give them something gentle,

At night they cried and called out for their parents. They're homesick.

It's not my fault. I don't care

if they have stomach aches, and feel homesick.

Can we go down to the beach and scream:

"Hey, we want off this island! Can someone please pick us up?"

Of course not.

I don't think we're going to catch anything here.

We have to go further out to catch fish.

You're right. We're too close to shore.

Did you catch anything? - No.

It's so dark here. I'm scared.

- The sun will be out again tomorrow. - I'm scared.

Try to get some sleep.

Come here. Everything will be fine again in the morning.

It's still alive.

This is a good catch.

You cut, while I hold it. You need to cut off the head.

Okay. Hold it tight.

Ha, very tasty. Can I have the plate?

Let me clean it first.

Take it.

I really don't like this food.

We eat whatever we have.

There's no restaurants here.

I miss the food we get at home.

Hey, I don't like this crap either.

But it's food. Without it, you don't survive.

I think it tastes disgusting.

Has anyone seen Sven?

No. Maybe he took the train.

Have you seen Sven? I think he went over there.

Guys, why you don't you help us build a hut.

Now you don't get a cookie.

Okay, let's try again.

I'll be back. I gotta take a dump.

What are you doing over there?

You're kidding! Can't you tell?

Our camp is dirty.

You must understand that this won't work. It stinks everywhere.

We have to stay civilized, no matter what.

We have to pick a place to use as a toilet.

Otherwise if we live here for a while, we'll drown in our own shit.

We must decide who will light fires, who will cook food ...

... and who will wash the dishes. Everyone should have a job and be responsible for it.

Let's decide who will cook.

Tina and I do that every day. It would be nice if you'd cook now.

Hey, you there! This is important! Listen to what we're talking about.

We must find a way to get home.

When Marianne and I were on the beach, we saw a ship.

We waved to them, but they didn't notice us.

You're blocking the sun.

A cold shower!

Get out of here, you moron!

It's Sven.

Help me!

I think it's too late. He's very cold.

We have to warm him up!

- Do that thing so he wakes up! - I don't know how!

We were on the beach and saw Sven lying there.

We dragged him out of the water ...

... and tried to resuscitate him.

We tried, but his heart wasn't beating and he wasn't breathing anymore.

He's dead.

And what happens to us after we die, and we're buried?

Then you come before God.

But if you're still lying in the grave,

then how can you be with God at the same time?

The man in the grave is with God, and God will take care of him.

But I don't understand how he gets up to heaven.

Only the soul goes to heaven, the body stays in the ground.

Maybe you need to burn it, like my grandmother

when she died.

I don't want to be burned when I die.

My mother said that she didn't want to be burned when she died.

And I don't either.

We can bury him in the pit I dug.

Have you heard the story about the man who was buried alive?

He woke up - with two meters of dirt above him.

What happened to you? Why are you sitting here alone?

Come with us, Don't sit here by yourself.

Go to hell, I don't want to see you!

I don't want to walk any more.

If you don't want to keep going, then go back with the others.

We'll have our own camp, and we won't have to babysit

toddlers and little girls.

I wouldn't give up now on that delicious steak.

Have you seen a ham or rulk somewhere?

Or wild boar?

Yeah, it's funny. Bit I saw a whole flock of fat pheasants down in the forest.

Hey, will you please shut up?

Shut up, I'm listening to the radio!

Don't touch me.

Go to hell, okay?

Come on, cook dinner. I'm going for a walk.

Look what I found.

Wow, that's great! Can I have it?

No, you're crazy!

I haven't eaten a fruit fudge for a hundred years. Will you sell it to me for a krone?

I'll give you five kroner. - No.

Ten.

Oh please ...

Twenty.

Twenty five.

I'll give you 40 kroner ...

- 50 kroner! - Okay.

I get one lick first. - Okay.

Martin, why did you come to the orphanage? What happened to you?

My mother got sick.

I have no close relatives who could take custody.

Father left us years ago.

You're not sad that you have only your mother?

No, everything was fine, she said we're okay just the two of us.

That she won't give me up to anyone.

My mother's very cheerful and kind.

I'll introduce you to her.

Well, when we get back.

I like you a lot.

You're very beautiful.

Come here ...

What happened to you?

I don't want to die!

The logs are heavy.

You could take them closer.

While they're working, we need to come up with a name for our raft.

It doesn't look very sturdy. Don't forget to wear your seat belt!

Don't worry. We're sure you can easily make it back.

Good luck with that funny looking raft!

Yes, if you tied the logs tighter ...

... you could have bought us some cigarettes on the other side.

You could even rent a real boat!

Hey! How are you?

OK I guess.

Does your leg still hurt? - Yeah it hurts.

- Look what I have. Oh, they're beautiful!

These are sea urchins. They're quite large.

This is also a sea urchin.

Fantastic ...

Have you ever gone to a political meeting?

No. And you?

I was in the park when they had a demonstration on May Day.

And I was at a meeting with people from the northern commune.

They created a commune in the North, where they had everything in common.

Is it better than living in separate houses?

They thought it was better. They lived together and shared everything.

And if someone doesn't want to live together?

They didn't have that problem in the community.

Of course, you have the right to leave the commune, if you want to live alone.

I was at a meeting of the City Council. Representatives of public organizations

told the burgomaster and deputies how the commune can improve life in the city.

The Commune is a good idea.

It can work for us.

It would be great if we started to live amicably in one commune.

And there would be general rules and order for everyone.

Now we just fight and hurt each other.

That makes us enemies, and can lead to war.

I want peace very much, so that we're all together. Everyone sharing.

They helped each other, respected each other.

And in the community everyone is responsible for some kind of work.

Actually, I would like to live in a communist society.

With communism people are attentive to each other.

They have joint responsibility for everything.

There's love and cohesion, and fairness to each person.

No one has much money, but there's no poor and hungry.

You think we can do that?

With bows and arrows like these we can bag a couple of pheasants.

We need to become warriors.

Your bow won't work, warrior.

Look how cool it turned out!

I don't think your arrow will reach the pheasant.

We'll hunt animals and birds and cook them.

Remember the movie "A Man Called Horse"?

He was pierced by eagle's claws, with ropes tied to them ...

Then they threw the ropes over the branches of a tree and hoisted him up.

We can do what the Indians did according to their ancient custom.

Cut ourselves and mix our blood together. We become blood brothers.

Come on, cut first, I'm after you.

Now we're real Indians.

- We did it! - We got him!

What do you want? Why are you in our territory?

What are you doing?

You wanna kill me?

Hold him tight!

Don't let him squirm!

Do you think we'll just let you go back to your own people?

Idiots!

Don't you dare call us idiots!

Stop it! You've lost your minds!

You invaded our territory.

Should I put out his eyes?

I want to go home.

I really want to go home. I feel awful! This place is nothing like I expected!

And my leg hurts ...

I want to go home, where there's normal food.

Everyone cares only about themselves, and nobody thinks about others.

Where's Henrik?

I didn't see him.

This is bad.

He was supposed to return. It's already dark, but he's not here.

Maybe he fell and broke his leg ... Or he ...

... maybe he went to that camp.

No, he would never do that.

That's bullshit.

Maybe something happened to him.

We have to go look!

No, it's too dark now, we'll never find him.

What if he falls asleep? He can suffocate in a noose.

If someone wants to go down there and untie him - please.

I'll go look.

Henrik, don't sleep ...

Henrik. Henrik!

He's ...

What are you trying to say?

He's ...

- What? - Yes.

How did it happen? We made a free loop.

He could easily untie himself.

He's very pale. Pale and cold.

If he hanged himself, then we're not to blame.

Should we tell the others about this?

No. Don't.

Henrik!

Henrik!

I can't light a fire.

We don't have water. Go, get some.

Kenneth, it's your turn. You've been asleep all day. Now fetch the water.

You must go down and get some water.

If you don't want to go get water,

then go to the other camp, let them give you a drink.

They're all coming here!

Martin!

It's so easy to live in the summer

We are the children of the sun

The city becomes gray and dull

We go to the boats, we go to the beach

Winter is over

We are leaving the city

Now we are free, like the wind

We are the children of the sun

The city becomes gray and dull

We go to the boats, we go to the beach

We are going on a journey, we are waiting for adventure ...

We are together.

We will decide where to live!

Please leave us alone, leave us alone, leave us alone!
