(The cabin)

- Hi. - Hi.

Just calling to make a plan for next week.

Okay.

Did Mira enjoy seeing her grandparents in Italy?

Yes, she did.

The removal men needed a bigger truck.

They packed and finally left this morning.

We will catch a plane to Luxembourg this weekend.

Is her room ready?

Almost.

I'm in the middle of taking the old wallpaper off.

How come you're still working on it?

You should have paid someone to do it.

I want to do it myself.

It's a big deal formira to leave her friends behind

and move to Luxembourg.

And also, she's a bit scared to learn luxembourgish.

Can you help her?

Yeah. Of course, I will help her.

When will the room be ready?

Next week, most likely.

[Juliso, anything else?

What color does she want for her bedroom?

Ask her.

She's at a friend of hers, but call tomorrow afternoon.

Yes, okay.

Will you be ready to have Mira on Friday?

Yes.

Don't disappoint her again.

Yeah.

Everything's going to be fine.

What you see out here

on the right side

is straight over to the north pole.

And I want to remind you this is the end of the road.

We are going to guide you around here in longyearbyen.

And take you out in several different spots.

I hope you all really enjoy this special trip.

You can order something to drink on the trip...

It's your first time?

Definitely, yeah.

The first place we're going to travel...

I love it here.

Where are you from?

Uh, Luxembourg.

You know where that is?

A little bit, yeah.

But you don't hear much about Luxembourg.

- It's very small. - Here you go, sir.

Thank you.

Here you go, ma'am.

Mmm.

All right?

Yeah, cool.

- You're welcome. - Thank you.

The glazier is somewhere behind you there.

Somewhere behind you there.

The crew on board, they are from the Philippines.

They speak perfect English.

We love them, I love them, and we be good to them.

So, you pull the zipper up, like this,

and you can put your head in, like this...

So you can see.

Thank you for laughing.

Now, we will go out the fjord.

We will go south toward isfjorden.

I just love the smell of fresh babies.

It's like a new car, you know.

Just want to pick them up and just smell. Yeah.

And one of the,

well, one of the best things I like about babies

is actually just changing the diapers,

the dirty diapers. It's like brown gold.

To me, it kind of just... It smells like honey.

I just want to pick them up and...

Inhale the thing.

Yeah, I-I don't see my daughter that much, so...

- But, but I love her. - Well, yeah, of course.

But I hate to be that kind of guy who just...

Forces images, pictures, of their own kids on people.

I just have to show you my kids.

Let's see. Yeah, these are my two daughters.

In the garden, in the garden back home.

And this is the newest picture with my, uh, son as well.

Ah, yeah, okay. Now...

Woo-hoo!

Hey!

Hey, are you okay?

I'm fine.

Are you from Luxembourg?

Do you have a smoke?

No...

Let me help you up.

It's okay, thank you.

There's blood by your ear.

I don't care.

I am going to stay in an abandoned cabin

at the end of the fjord.

I want to regain my primal instincts.

To survive with absolutely nothing.

A guy told me

that there's a crack, somewhere on the mountain.

You enter that crack.

And as you come out...

Bam!

You're an animal.

I want to be a stag.

No... really, I mean it.

Those animals have great style.

With their giant antlers.

What animal would you want to be?

No idea... a fish, maybe.

Yes, a fish.

They don't question anything.

They don't give a shit whether they're here or not.

Or why they're here.

They are free.

What would you do with your freedom as a fish?

Just live.

My little fish life.

Where are you off to?

I need to piss.

Why don't you piss here?

A fish pisses where he wants, okay?

Okay.

Then again, we are no fish.

We are just two human beings...

900 km south of the north pole.

Do you have a name by the way?

Hey!

Hey!

Are you going that direction by any chance?

- To the end of the valley. - Why?

I'm looking for a friend. He stays there in a cabin.

In a cabin over there?

Are you sure?

Can you give me a ride?

No, I'm sorry.

Okay.

Good luck!

So, have you been here for a long time?

Four days.

Do you like it here?

Uh, yeah. Yeah, really.

Today, I met...

I met a tourist who asked me if, uh,

if this was Canada the other side of the fjord.

What did you tell him?

"Yeah, this is Canada."

And so, this cabin.

You sure it's down here at the end of this valley?

I hope so,

because it's all I know about this cabin.

Sorry. Sorry.

What's wrong with these birds?

They really got you, didn't they.

Yeah!

Am I bleeding?

No, I can't see anything.

You will survive, you know?

Did you know that they will attack me?

No! How could I?

And how did you like my little performance then?

It was okay.

When you go out there again, put a stick on your head.

- Why a stick? - It works.

So they don't attack your head.

I don't care. I'm not going out there anymore.

- No? - No.

You're not a very brave man.

You're not very into nature either?

No, I'm not.

Why are you up here if you're not into nature?

Why not?

Welcome here to downtown coles bay.

It's an old Soviet mining settlement.

This place, as you can see,

is probably nobody been here for a little while, at least.

Um... it's been abandoned since the middle of the 60s,

but it was a Soviet town.

Your boarding card and bag tag.

- Yeah. Thank you. Thanks. - Have a nice flight.

Hmm.

To do studies here in the artic and go...

Sorry, I'm late.

Yeah.

Um, so, yeah. As I said, we know very little about them

because of their minute size

and, um, because...

Hey!

Why are you still here?

I missed my flight.

So, who wants to have, uh, the head?

Fish.

I'll take the head.

Is he your new boyfriend?

A new "happy salmon"?

Happy salmon? What do you mean?

Is there a new happy salmon in your life?

There are no salmon in Luxembourg.

There must be a salmon river?

Yes, so what?

And who wants the tail?

I'll take the tail.

So, uh, Luc, you were from Luxembourg, right?

- Yeah. - Oh, yeah?

What do you do, over there?

I'm, uh, a cartographer.

So, basically, I make maps.

When you have covered the entire earth with maps,

are you done with your job?

Yeah, I think the world is mapped already, pretty much,

so, yeah, I guess you're right.

You escaped the office.

Kind of, yeah.

- Yeah. Cool. - Good idea.

I don't think it's good

when you do the same thing for too long.

True.

So what are you going to do here?

You plan on working here, or...

Don't know. Still have some holidays open.

And it's so quiet here. It's so nice and...

Yes, it is.

Yeah, you should just enjoy!

Maybe we can go kind of,

I don't know, skiing all together or something?

Okay. Are you ready?

Luc! Luc! Luc!

Holy shit, that's sick!

Dance!

Why are you here?

Because I like you.

It has nothing to do with me.

How could you know?

I can't. I'm asking you.

I'm happy I've met you.

Show my testicles to you..

Hey. Can you see me?

Yeah, I can.

You look really pretty.

Thanks. Where are you?

Well, i'm, uh, in Svalbard.

Where?

In Svalbard.

And, um...

I cannot have...

Mira at my place on Friday.

Why not?

'Cause I'm going to stay some more days here.

Okay.

So why didn't you tell me that you weren't in Luxembourg then?

You wanted her to come and live with you.

So, next week she's with me.

Yeah.

And what about the one after?

I don't know yet, maybe no.

You don't know yet?

Bloody hell, Luc!

You go and tell her yourself then.

Okay, I will.

- Mira? - No...

- Mira? - No. Not now!

Yes, now.

No, Julie.

Well, she doesn't want to talk to you anyway.

So... keep us informed.

My name is Luc.

Uh, yeah, French, uh, French name.

It's only a couple of months that I'm here

and I just need some things to do,

and I think that was a nice thing to,

to try to follow you guys...

In your, in your singing skills

and Norwegian skills.

But as a newcomer,

you need to sing a new song from your country.

A big fat cock and a hairy cunt...

Rode a buggy to a hunt...

When cocky Jack told his cunty Jill...

I'll give you one, be still...

His juice flowed down her leg... His juice flowed down her leg...

Flowed down her leg, her leg...

Uh, do you know what size you are?

One, 183.

Try this ones.

Like, large or...

What is your name, by the way?

- Uh, I'm Luc. - Luc?

- Yeah. - Alexei.

- Here, hey. - Yeah.

And, uh, I remind one thing,

I am the boss...

And then we have no problem.

Yeah, you are the boss.

That's cool.

Put it here, man.

- And this one. Oh, thank you. - Yeah.

Yeah, maybe... No, it's better over there.

Yeah. Just take it, man.

Look, I got bruises.

I've got... ...Blisters.

Oh, poor boy.

I was carrying like heavy stuff around all day.

Hmm.

From left to right, from right to left.

But it's simple. I like it.

I really do.

If you got nothing to lose, you've got nothing to lose.

Utter freedom!

Not a living soul as far as you can see.

Pure nature.

Good.

So, what is the main problem you're having?

Why did you have to come to us?

I have problems sleeping.

Oh.

You been here a long time?

A bit more than two months.

- On Svalbard? - Yeah.

Okay. Where did you come from?

- Luxembourg. - Oh, came from Luxembourg.

Okay. And what are you doing here?

Well, then you choose the target.

You know how to shoot before, no?

Have you been in the army?

I know you have a shit life, so you've never been in army.

Then you save all this shit...

Like this.

Woo!

Fuck!

That's it.

Yeah.

Not so hard.

Want some coffee?

Mmm. Yes, please.

Didn't say anything about the women.

You just said they're the best. Is that really...

Russian women. They're the best.

But you've always been with Russian women

or did you date girls from somewhere else?

I don't know, from...

I used to live with a European girl.

They don't cook. If they cook, it's shit.

In normal way in Russia,

if I want a steak for lunch, it's not my problem.

It's my problem to bring, to find the steak.

Everything's simple, from, like from the age, you know?

I bring the steak, she cooks.

If she wants a new car,

so it's not her problem, it's my problem.

Her problem is to take care of me and my family.

And my house.

Hello?

Hello.

Did your mum... Tell you why I'm here?

No.

Actually, I've found a job...

Here and I decided to stay

and work here.

I don't know when I will be back in Luxembourg again.

You don't say anything?

Well...

I just wanted you to know that...

I'm proud...

That you exist.

Can you understand that?

No.

Of course you cannot understand that.

Um, I made a drawing of you.

This is you in the north pole with the polar bear.

I have to go now, I'm going to my music class.

Bye...

Bye...

Bye... my little mouse.

One, two three, four.

- Ah! Yeah. - Repeat, that one. Come on.

Hey.

Hit me.

Not bad.

Wait!

Whoa! Whoa!

You're going to break my car.

What are you listening to?

Deaf dumb.

It's a band from Luxembourg.

I can't sleep.

Why not?

I had this strange dream.

I was a reindeer in a cave, and, um...

At the end of the cave appeared a bear.

And the bear sees me and starts running towards me.

And suddenly stops.

And it stared at me...

Turned around and just walked off.

Why did he change his mind?

I don't know.

You took this way?

Yeah, we went over the valley.

- Oh, nice. - Yeah.

I think we passed you or something like that.

Yeah! I think I saw you as well.

I forgot.

We have to do this every time we have a drink.

Okay.

Before we take a toast.

Become our thing. Kind of.

It's nice.

- Yeah. - Even when we are fighting.

Are you married?

Not yet, but he's terrified about that.

Are you?

- Do we have any choice. - No.

You see.

We plan to go on holiday

in Thailand in November. We want to get married.

Just family and close friends and...

On a beach.

You think I could be Russian?

Spasiva.

I think you would look good with this color.

Hmm.

You look quite nice as a woman.

Do you think i'm...

Masculine?

Yeah.

Do you guys want to have kids?

Yeah, uh, of course.

Why?

What the fuck? It's a stupid question.

You... why? Why do people want to have a kid?

It's life. It's a kid.

It's... I don't know.

It's cool to have a kid.

I want kids and leana wants kids.

Maybe next year, but, like...

It will continue my family, you know?

It's, well, continue of me.

And everything what I get, I will... left for them.

How are you?

My jacket looks good on you.

I made coffee. Do you want a cup?

You know what I figured out when I got here?

If you want to become the strongest person in the world

you have to be all by yourself.

Put the gun away, if you wish.

You seem tense.

Watch out... it's loaded.

Bam!

Hey.

Luc?

Luc?

Luc?

Luc?

Is that the guys from the choir?

Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's, that's them.

I would have loved to hear you sing, just once.

Yeah, well...

But I've... sung that one.

It's about hunting in the mountains

and about death lying deep down in caves.

No, it's not.

- It's a very dark song. - No, it's not about that.

It's about how beautiful the Norwegian nature is.

Okay.

I've been thinking about...

Things.

About me being here and...

My job and, uh...

And all the rest.

I have the impression I'm hibernating.

I-I-I... Just don't know what to do.

What I see is that...

You don't go to the end of things.

You, you say that you like to do a simple job,

but when I see you walking around

with your little hat and your gloves

and your building costume with your friends,

you're just pretending.

I don't believe you.

Like, you pretend being a part of the choir,

like you pretend that you love being with me.

I don't pretend.

Why do you think you know me that well?

I'm going to say hi so you can hear me sing.

Is that your cabin?

There's bears in the area, so I'll bring the rifle.

Where did you find it?

I'm going to meet you a bit further up.

You came first?

Yeah.

You want a piece?

What is it?

Smoked reindeer heart.

Yeah.

Mmm.

Really good.

You have some water?

It is still far?

No, it's just a couple of hours.

But we have to hurry because it's getting dark.

Isn't it better then just to go home?

No! No.

I'm, I'm good.

Do you know where we are?

What's that?

What?

Do you hear that?

Stay there.
