I assume you're going to tell me why I'm here.

Now you're my sister Onerva.

She's leaving today.

On a home visit. She goes once a month.

Thanks.

Which one of you has been blabbing?

My family's probably wondering where I am.

Thank you.

You sent me here.

I'm not crazy!

Onerva...

Father, mother and... - Two brothers.

Kari and Akseli.

Kari...

They're completely ordinary.

Country people.

Father, mother and... - Two brothers.

Kari and Akseli. I'm the middle child.

What's your father like?

Fair. Down to earth.

And that is important for you? Fairness. How people are treated.

Yes. Is that some sort of a problem?

Has it caused problems? To you, Tuomas, your father or your mother?

Do you interact a lot with your mother?

Normally. We talk on the phone.

Tell me some memory about your mother.

I can't think of anything right now.

I'm stopping here.

Why are you here all by yourself?

What if they're right?

What if I'm really sick?

If you're sick, I'm sick.

We're in this together.

I told you they'll label you.

What label did you get? Schizo? Paranoid?

Humanoid? - I don't know.

I remember things and events.

But others apparently remember those things differently.

And they tell me I'm hearing and seeing things that don't exist.

Look at me.

Look at me.

You're not alone.

Remember that.

So what's your label? - Mine?

Ritva Kalima is a psychopath and a pathological liar.

There's no trusting this loudmouth.

Okay.

Thanks.

What now?

You will have a visitor.

Who?

You'll see tomorrow. Maybe you want to take a bath.

Do you like this? The colour may be too light for you.

How do you feel about seeing your husband?

I don't know.

Shit. Do you feel shit? - Yes, I do.

Don't offer yourself to him then!

Wear the hospital uniform, so he sees the truth!

That doesn't help Onerva one bit.

You want to look in control instead of...

Crazy! Do you want to look crazy -

like a disturbed psycho who comes home...

What do you want to say to him? - To Tuomas?

Do you want to stab him? Of course you do!

I can get you a bread knife from the kitchen and...

"Tuomas!"

How annoying!

I just want to ask him. - What?

Does he really think I'm crazy?

Crazy.

Crazy.

Crazy.

Serafina.

You're back.

"But the gaudy gay sea is the most dangerous to look upon..."

I realised I still needed to come back.

I'm happy you're here.

So how was it?

Where? - At home.

I sometimes have nightmares, too.

When I was little, my sister would climb into my bed -

if either of us had a nightmare.

Onerva...

Come on.

Come on.

Come on...

Come on.

Good. Come on, come on.

Just a little bit to go.

You're almost here.

Come with me. - What?

Ritva! What are you up to?

Keep watch!

What are you doing?

Give me a hand! - Why?

We're getting the fuck out of here.

These jars are shipped in crates to the mainland. We're going too.

Okay.

You need to ask the captain when these are going.

You ask him.

If I go with this on, they'll sling me into isolation!

You don't want to leave?

I do but don't get me mixed up in anything.

Poikelus!

Poikelus!

Your guest is here!

Alright, and here she is.

My dear girl!

I thought...

In terms of your treatment, this is best.

Please talk freely, don't let me disturb you.

Your father and I have been so worried about you!

Aha.

They asked me to bring these.

Do you have enough food and buttermilk?

Yes, I do.

In case the floors are cold.

Thank you.

We've been so proud of our Onerva!

She'll be the first university graduate in the family.

So were you pleased when Onerva left home to study?

Yes!

Oh my word!

That's all anyone in the village talks about!

And then Tuomas, her husband.

He got an important post right after graduating.

How does it feel to hear this?

How's dad?

He's very worried about you, of course.

He has all sorts of aches and pains, too.

So Onerva, why don't you just come home?

We would love to have our dear daughter at home with us.

She'd get plenty of rest there if she needs it.

Well, of course, but this is a long-term process...

Excuse me.

One moment, please.

Bringing shame on us again!

I knew that Helsinki and the university is a road to nowhere!

Nothing good comes of trying to rise above your station!

And here's the proof! Pull yourself together and come home!

You're a grown-up, so start acting like one.

You bring this on your poor old mother! Akseli has to do everything.

Mum, I told you... - Don't you mum me, damn it!

So where were we?

We were just... - Apparently I bring shame on my mum.

I'm so crazy. - My daughter's not crazy.

Oh yes I am. This doctor here says I'm really sick.

Let's all just breathe in and out... - And what were you thinking?

How do you think dragging my wacko mum here is supposed to help me?

Are you totally stupid?

Look Mum, I'm crazy.

Your little Onerva is completely cuckoo!

Cuckoo cuckoo, damn it!

Ritva!

Ritva.

How was it? - What do I have to do?

Do what? - Let's get the hell out of here.

Great.

Come.

Howdy there!

Would you like some, Captain? - Like what?

Some juice to start with.

Thank you.

I meant to ask you about something.

You take the jam jar deliveries to the mainland.

And?

When are the next crates going out? - What's that to you?

I was told to pack them. So that I know when they need to be ready.

Get out of here.

Shall I tell Lundsten about your business?

Be my guest.

Ask if he'll have the same order as last week.

I've punched a man's lights out before. My husband.

You're even more annoying than him.

The crates will go out tomorrow morning.

Thanks.

Well? - On the morning ferry.

Good.

Oh no, they're gone!

No, no, no!

You told them!

No I didn't.

Serafina!

Everything's ruined!

Serafina! Don't!

Erkki!

Calm down.

You took them.

It's empty. Everything's gone.

Do you remember when you said that we're soul sisters?

I do.

I would never take your drawings.

I wouldn't betray you. - I believe you.

Can I ask you something?

When you were visiting home, -

I think I saw you in the door of that old bunker.

Were you there? I don't understand...

I just wanted my sister. - I know.

But can you remember where you were?

They wouldn't let me go to her.

She came for me, but they didn't let me go.

Alma's coming now.

Poikelus, collect your things. You're changing rooms.

No I'm not!

I will not.

Either you change rooms nice and easy or go to the pacification room.

Your presence is too upsetting for Serafina's peace of mind.

My presence? Are you serious?

You took Serafina's drawings. How dare you?

Alma, dear. Keep an eye on Serafina.

No need, the angels watch over her!

Promise me you'll keep an eye on her.

From heaven above to earth I come, -

to bear good news to every home.

Glad tidings of great joy I bring. - There's your bed, Alma.

Whereof I now will say and sing...

Welcome. - Thanks.

So the guy will come in the morning...

What guy?

That guy! - The kid you're banging?

He's definitely not a kid! He's almost 18.

It's a shame you won't get a chance to try him out.

What a shame.

Tomorrow then. - Yes, tomorrow.

But first one thing.

All the confiscated stuff is in Alaska's cabinet.

So if I try to steal her keys... - No.

Let's not jeopardise tomorrow.

I can't leave Serafina in that shape.

She'll forget her drawings. - No she won't.

Well...

Then you'll have to glaze Alaska's pie.

Do what?

Vacuum her lower shelf.

Are you serious? - Go and lick Alaska's pussy.

You go tomorrow, I'll think of something else.

Do I have to do everything, damn it?

Hi.

May I come in? - You may.

Would you like a biscuit?

I most definitely want a biscuit.

Stop right there.

Serafina? - No.

Alma, move.

Serafina. Look what I have here.

You got them back.

Thank you.

Alright.

Supper.

Thank you.

Lovely.

Lights out at nine.

You're not on any medication?

Do you already have a diagnosis? - I don't have a diagnosis.

Not yet. - Maybe I won't have one.

Everyone here gets a diagnosis. - What's yours then?

Huge personal problems. - That's not a diagnosis.

They can't keep anyone here for a reason like that!

You have so much pent-up anger. - Oh really?

Sorry.

It's not your fault. There's been all

kinds of stuff, which is why I'm edgy.

It's okay. I understand.

Do you want to do a test to see whether your marriage is equal?

Zero means it's not at all, four means it's 100% equal.

And your ideal partner... Is being reserved a good quality or not?

Heikki doesn't eat breakfast.

Alma likes this.

Yes, but you can keep your mouth closed.

Alma's eating porridge.

Alma's eating porridge quietly.

I'll handle the crates, you keep watch.

Okay.

Ready? - Not yet.

Hi! What are you up to?

Came to pick up jam jars. - What's your name?

Tuure.

I owe some cigarettes to this nutcase, you wouldn't have any?

Not on me. - Could you go get them?

I'll pay you twice as much. I need them now.

What's your name? - Onerva.

Onerva?

If I go get the cigarettes now, I'll need the payment now as well.

How about it?

Okay, that's enough.

Show me your tits. - What?

If you want cigarettes, show me your tits.

What if I show you something more tonight?

Go get those cigarettes. - Okay.

I'll be back soon. - Yeah.

Ritva, we need to hurry up.

Why? - I'll explain later. They're leaving soon.

See you on the mainland.

One, two, three.

One, two, three.

Onerva...

Onerva!

Onerva!

Take it easy. - What?

Thank you.

And you're welcome. - Thank you.

Ritva kindly let us in on your plan.

A neat little set-up.

Don't worry, I understand.

Escaping is a basic human response to a distressing predicament.

I just wanted to help.

I'm really worried about you, Onerva. - It was Ritva's plan.

No it wasn't and the doctor knows it.

Would you like to hit me again?

Okay, you can leave now, Ritva.

This really wasn't my... - Miss Poikelus, remember this.

On this island, every action has a consequence.

A reward...

Or punishment.

Come on. Stop it now.

Let go of me.

Listen. Let go of me!

Let me go.

I won't go...

You can't do this!

Let me out of here!

Let me out of here!

Onerva! Come down!

What happened?

Were you up in the hayloft? Did you take Kari up there?

What happened?

The cow butted Kari with its horns.

The cow butted him?

The cow?

Alright.

Mum.

Mum.

This is a gift for you, Onerva.

So, Tuure, has that ice hockey coach still been calling you?

No.

He wanted you to go to practice more often.

So you could make the first team.

I guess so. - Right.

Not every player gets such calls from their coach.

Maybe you ought to seize the opportunity?

You could stay with your cousins.

It's a short distance to the ice rink.

Wouldn't it be nice to live in the city?

Can't you see he's not interested?

What do you think?

I don't think so.

Good morning.

Serafina is tending to the apple orchard, all by herself now.

Could you just explain to me...

Why did you try to escape? Tell me the truth.

If I'm sick, what's my diagnosis?

Don't get hung up on designations... - What do I have?

Well...

Come with me.

What's this place?

The chronic ward.

They're incurable.

Who are you waving to, Amalia? - Mummy.

Amalia, sit down here.

May I read your palm?

Let's take this off.

Careful... There.

The long heart line says -

there is much happiness and love in your future.

Kuikka!

Delusional mania.

Amalia's diagnosis.

Let's go, Kuikka.

And yours too.

You may go, Onerva.

We have to bear in mind two things -

now that we're starting this process on somewhat different premises.

First of all, you're safe.

And we'll do this together.

Okay.

We'll talk, contemplate on what might be the cause of your state.

We'll try out different mental image exercises and maybe hypnosis.

We'll apply various modern forms of treatment.

Let's try to avoid the chronic ward to the furthest extent possible.

And if the treatment starts out promisingly, -

we will make a home visit very soon.

To Helsinki? - To Helsinki.

To meet your husband, with permission and all.

Sounds good.

So...

Tell me some memory relating to your mother.

Can you think of anything?

Yes.

Me and my little brother were up in the hayloft playing, -

although mother had told us not to...

So we were playing and...

Good night.

You know, today I answered all of Lundsten's questions -

and was really interested and cooperative.

I was just pretending, all the time.

I know what I'm doing.

Onerva...

Kari.
