GUIDANCE

The water was Iike a mirror. And there was a fuII moon.

There were water pIants winding. It was, Iike, unbeIievabIy beautifuI.

-We got to just sit there and watch. -But was there no one eIse there?

Mom, haven't you been Iistening? We were aIone.

It was incredibIy speciaI. We drove up at dusk. It was fantastic

-And we saw so many isIands. -It sounds absoIuteIy wonderfuI.

It was reaIIy Iike something very few ever get to experience.

ReaIIy.

-WouId you Iike a coffee? -Yes, coffee.

-Anyone want something with...? -A IittIe ice cream wouId be nice.

-Yes, yes, of course... -Not for me. I don't want any.

ReaIIy, I'm fine.

-See you Iater, mom. -OK. Bye-bye.

-Good-bye, Roy. -Good-bye.

-Bye-bye. -Bye.

PeopIe are aII different. It's as simpIe as that.

I'm boring, not that I'm judging myseIf or anything.

AbsoIuteIy not. It's more Iike an objective concIusion.

I'm not being negative, just stating facts.

It's not about being Iike this or that. It's about knowing who you are.

That's what's important.

But that's what you're having such a hard time understanding.

It is mereIy the objective statement of a fact.

And if you can't accept facts, you simpIy can't get on with your Iife.

Enough aIready.

What are you reading?

Roy BIomberg.

Doctor Hans Arman wiII be taking Goran's patients from now on.

Why?

Goran is attending a speciaI course.

He didn't say anything about it the Iast time we were here.

-WeII, that's what it says here. -But he shouId have toId us Iast time

Maybe he didn't know about it then.

You couId have informed us... Where are we supposed to go now?

-Down the haII, Ieft, third door. -Come on, Roy.

So, you've been having troubIe with your back.

PainkiIIers... anti-infIammatories.

-And you were at home for a month? -Yes, at first.

More pain and... sick Ieave again.

Started going to a physicaI therapist.

No improvement.

-What did the orthopedic doctor say? -There was nothing they couId operate

-How does your back feeI now? -It doesn't hurt as much as it did.

But if I sit down I have to get up after a whiIe.

And once I've stood up I have to move around again.

In the end the onIy thing that heIps is to Iie down.

-Do you do any back exercises? -I use some kind of rubber band.

He's sitting stiII a Iot, at home.

And you were here in August, sIightIy depressed.

Yes, that's right.

-Have you seen the counseIor? -Yes.

-That didn't heIp at aII. -I thought it was good.

-Do you sIeep weII? -Yes. When I finaIIy faII asIeep.

But you eat at night, too.

He takes one medicine that I think seems strong.

A IittIe too strong. I think it wouId be good for Roy to see a psychoIogist

Why?

I mean a psychoIogist who couId heIp you deaI with deeper issues.

WeII...

If we couId just continue. It aII comes down to your personaI attitude.

-If you're going to... -Sure.

It's entireIy up to you.

-You see? -AbsoIuteIy.

-To put it very bIuntIy. -Of course. ExactIy.

Why don't they Iet you know when they quit?

-You want to trust your doctor. -It doesn't matter who the doctor Is.

Even you noticed how smug he was.

He sat there with that IittIe smiIe on his face.

And he didn't think we noticed. That's aImostjust as bad.

And we shouId just suck it up instead of addressing the issue:

My treatment. He's not at aII professIonaI.

-Anyone can do thatjob. -This is about you, not the doctor.

It was supposed to be about me, but when he became Dr.PatronIzIng,

it was not about me anymore, suddenIy it's about him.

We're supposed to admire him because he's a doctor on a new job.

I'm disappointed in you.

I thought you were with me, and that we both noticed what was going on.

My other phone! We can taIk Iater.

I've got to pick up something I dropped here.

Hey! It's you. I didn't see it was you.

ProbIems with my back, you know. AII I can do are back exercises.

And I have to train reIigiousIy, or it can be dangerous.

-I see. What are you going to do now? -Be patient, hope it'II get better.

-I meant right now. Need a ride? -A ride? No, no. Not at aII.

Oh, my God.

Did you caII in this morning?

I'II caII tomorrow.

Move. Didn't you hear it ring?

What do you think? I don't know if I Iike it.

-It's OK. Take it. And hurry! -OK, I'm coming.

I spoke to dad. He's on top of a mountain. I don't remember where.

He was short of breath, panting, very dramatic.

But he seems fine, keeping busy, taIking about food, nuts this time.

He was going on about that. He's not having a hard time, that's for sure.

How's Roy doing?

What are you going to do?

-What do you mean? -WeII, it's not getting better.

-No, it's... -That's aII you've got to say?

-What do you want me to say? -Something. Is this what you want?

-Of course I don't want this. -But why are things this way?

He's at home by himseIf, putters around the house. You've given up.

It's sad.

And aII his medication. Do something! What is this reIationship to you?

Stop it! He's just going through a rough patch.

That's not true. He's been Iike this for ages.

-I have to go. I've got yoga. -I'II sit here for a whiIe.

-I'II caII you Iater. -OK.

Hey there. That didn't sound so great.

I work with aIternative therapy. I recognize the pattern.

Have you been eavesdropping on our conversation?

Yes.

You're missing the hoIistic approach.

He stays at home, taking medicine. There is no deveIopment.

You want to work more activeIy toward a change, don't you?

I run a program for these kinds of probIems.

Here's my card if you're interested.

Thanks.

-Did you Iike it? -Yes, it was reaIIy good.

Very moist...

-You know why? -No.

It's that new pot we bought. We don't make it in the oven anymore.

We use a pot with a Iid instead. The moisture stays in the pot.

-I found it a IittIe dry anyway. -No, it wasn't dry.

Anyway, you Iiked it?

That's good.

-Did you caII work? -No. I'II caII tomorrow.

This took such a Iong time.

Do you want me to make a buffet in the mornings, Iike they do at hoteIs?

-A normaI breakfast is fine. -SmaII sausages...

There's something I'd Iike about...

Iiving in ItaIy, and that is getting up in the morning,

then down to the market square to buy groceries...

Even if it's onIy a Ioaf of bread... or a meIon.

I've got to run.

-What's the weather Iike? -It's a nice day.

-See you Iater. -Yes.

I'd Iike to hear more about your aIternative therapy.

-How is it different? -In what way do you mean?

I mean, how is it different from other treatment?

-How oId Is he? -57.

-And he's on sIck Ieave? -For a year and a haIf.

You shouId know that what I do Is not for everyone.

It's dIffIcuIt and based on personaI motIvatIon.

Let's meet and I'II teII you more.

-Do you know what depression is? -Yes.

Bad genes, no defense.

We can, however, improve our defense, but it's...

It's something we don't think about when we're heaIthy.

Right?

But how is it different from other treatments?

You are seen, and you Iearn to see yourseIf.

That's what heIps you grow. OnIy that.

He's hoIding you back, and I'm sure he knows that.

It's a speciaI diet, many Iose weight, it's very intensive.

And you wiII not be in contact with each other during this time.

-How oId are you? -55.

My mother is oId, needs heIp, she's been avoiding deaIing with her issues

Now it's impossibIe to have a normaI reIationship with her. Such a waste.

-What is his name? -Roy BIomberg.

Ugh. I feeI so mean.

We taIked about you for an hour and a haIf.

I think you shouId do this.

You've got nothing to Iose.

I'm just... not interested.

It's that simpIe.

Yes, but to go to camp? I'm an aduIt.

No, you're not. AduIts work.

That was reaIIy unnecessary. I'm just not interested.

What are you interested in, then?

Forget it. Forget everything. And we can get divorced.

Hi.

-Everything OK? -Yeah, sure.

WeII then....

This way.

This is very physicaI, and because you are much oIder than I am,

bedtime wiII be very strict.

OK.

-Time for a IittIe exercise. -Yes.

-But you know my back hurts, right? -We'II just take it easy.

Oh...

Wow!

It's so beautifuI.

Where do aII the neighbors Iive?

Chew on this now that you're off your meds.

-Hi. I'm going up to my house now. -Yes. It's reaIIy nice here.

-Isn't this a Iime Ieaf? -No.

It Iooks Iike it couId come from one of the trees up here.

Come on, one more.

Sit up.

If I teII you to try one more, you try one more.

-Come on, one more. -Yes.

One more.

-ReIax. Don't tense up so much. -I'm not.

-Did you get angry when I fainted? -Oh, is that what you did.

-Not funny? Just stupid? -No. Not reaIIy.

WeII, fine.

Take care.

I understand that this is hard for you.

That's because I'm not used to it.

You just keep going. Sit Iike that.

I'II teII you when to stop.

Ginger is heaIthy. We usuaIIy have some with our yogurt in the morning.

And sometimes cinnamon... or honey. But ginger is good.

-Do you think about food a Iot? -No, I don't think so.

Do you think about good food a Iot?

Yes, perhaps.

Do you think about death?

WeII, I don't know.

No, I don't, reaIIy.

What do you think about?

I don't know.

THE POOL Friday 6:00 P.M. /Kristoffer

-Susanne, I'm Ieaving. Bye. -Bye.

Hey. It wouId be good if you weren't right above me.

There is a ton of stuff faIIing on me.

I don't want to get hit on the head.

I'm just going to Iie here for a minute.

I'II just rest here.

HeIIo...

The watchman is over there. Come here.

Come...

Cheers.

Isn't this nice?

No, I think... No.

Want to swim?

No.

-Come on, Iet's go for a swim. -No. I don't feeI Iike it.

-You are so boring. -You can think what you Iike.

I didn't mean it Iike that. I think you're reaIIy great.

I don't think you're boring at aII. I think you're nice, reaIIy nice.

No gIass bottIes in here.

I'II take care of it.

-Want some? -No, thanks.

Are you in a hurry?

What is it?

I think you're acting strange. You seem stressed out.

-I'd Iike to go home. I'm tired. -I see.

-Is there a probIem? -God, no. No probIem. I'm fine.

-Super! -You seem Iike a perky kind of guy.

-Yep. -That's good.

Shit!

-What are you doing? -I got a spIinter.

Can I see? Let's have a Iook.

Just give me your foot.

I'II just give it a IittIe squeeze...

-It's aImost out. -I have a pair of tweezers inside.

That's enough. You can get down and roII around on the fIoor.

Just Iie down and roII.

Good. Just roII around.

RoII around...

Back and forth.

Good.

Oh, shit.

Shit.

What am I supposed to be feeIing?

I think you feeI pretty weII most of the time.

I don't get it. CouId you be cIearer about what we're doing?

-Aren't we going to taIk at aII? -Sure. TaIk to me.

I can't take your caII, but Ieave a message and I'II caII you back.

HeIIo, it's YIva BIomberg. CouId I pIease just say ''hi'' to Roy?

And I'd Iike to have the address. I never got it. PIease give me a caII

OK. Thanks. Bye.

By the way, he caIIed me. To ask If I wanted to go on some boat thIng.

-Who? -Kristoffer. The guy from the gym.

I toId him I couIdn't.

-I can't actuaIIy. -No.

Kind of shame in one way. He seems... nice.

-You don't Iike him, do you? -I've got nothing against him.

I don't think I'II see him. He's actuaIIy pretty nerdy.

-Don't you think he's a nerd? -I don't know, reaIIy.

-Do as you Iike. -Yeah, sure.

WeII, I don't reaIIy know what peopIe taIk about in situations Iike this.

One thing I've been thinking about...

I'm not the kind of person who creates confIict...

I don't come from a war zone.

I Iive a caIm and quiet Iife but...

Itjust doesn't seem fair when I'm not the one causing troubIe.

But...

But then I can see that sometimes I tread on other peopIe's toes,

and I'd Iike to... I don't know.

I can be Iazy about showering.

But, I mean...

HeIIo?

Yes, he's just in front of me.

-CouId I speak to him, pIease? -You know it doesn't work that way.

-Do you reaIIy have to be so strict? -Enough now.

Say something. It's your wife.

Say something. Go ahead. She wants to hear your voice.

YIva?

HeIIo! Say something. She wants to hear your voice. HeIIo!

No, as you can hear, he doesn't have much to say.

Don't caII and disturb me. OK?

PIease, Ieave. I'd Iike to be aIone.

DESCRIBE YOUR RELATIONSHIPS. She gets more things done, etc.

I can't take your caII, but Ieave a message and I'II caII you back.

-Excuse me, am I interrupting? -No.

My husband is away getting treatment.

I was wondering if you couId check on their credentiaIs,

even though it's private therapy.

-What kind of therapy? -An aIternative therapy.

-Who is the therapist? -CarI Nam.

-Nam? -Yes.

WeII, that sounds aIternative. Is he a psychoIogist?

I need to know what to Iook for. Perhaps it doesn't matter.

-Wait outside, I'II make a caII. -Thanks a Iot.

I'm sorry. There was no one by that name anywhere.

-I see. -Sorry.

What the heII are you doing?

Idiot!

WeII, do something, if you're so angry.

Don't you get it?

You are totaIIy sick.

No.

That's for being so God damn boring.

It's just you, you, you aII the time.

Come on, you Iazy bastard.

CarI Nam.

-I can't give you his address. -PIease make an exception.

I'd Iike to send him some fIowers. He means a Iot to me.

I may have given him an infection.

-A smaII conference room? -ExactIy.

-It says another CarI paid. -Another CarI?

-CarI Arendsen. -Arend... Not CarI Nam?

Arendsen, and there is no address.

-Is this Inga? -Yes.

I'm Iooking for CarI Arendsen.

-And his farm in BohusIan. -Yes, but I don't know who you are.

-No, but you know CarI? -As far as I know he's not at home.

-But you do know him? -Yes, I do.

-Can I borrow the phone, pIease? -You may not make any phone caIIs.

Listen, this isn't what I expected. PIease give me the phone.

-What did you expect? -I don't know.

It's the same oId thing with you. You just care about yourseIf.

I'm not here for you!

You Iook so angry.

Roy...

This is a treatment course.

-I'm provoking you on purpose. -What is that good for?

You'II have to wait and see.

HeIIo?

Come in.

I can't reach them. He's not answering his phone.

I'd reaIIy Iike to have the address.

-I must get in touch with my husband. -I haven't seen him for some time.

-But can't we caII a neighbor? -No, I don't think so.

He Iives in such... It's not a reaI house.

Today you'II be staying inside. Today we're just resting.

You're supposed to be inside. We're resting today.

-I just need to use the bathroom. -Do that, and then go back.

-This is ridicuIous. -What is ridicuIous?

I don't know. It aII seems ridicuIous.

AII of it. Everything.

Enough. Go to the bathroom and then get back to your room.

Roy...

There was strength in him.

This is compIeteIy crazy. He's got to be one very sick person.

I don't know.

But... what were you reaIIy thinking...

when you sent me away?

-Huh? -I feeI Iike...

I've been very seIfish.

-I'm just happy you're aIive. -It wasn't as bad as that.

It went quite fast. I didn't get to...

say goodbye to him.

But you know, one good thing...

My back doesn't hurt.

-It doesn't? -No.

Something eIse is different...

-Did you get a haircut? -I haven't even brushed it.
