Offer! Roses Two bouquets 70 Kronor

No, no, no. The line starts behind me.

Oh, all right.

That would be 50 Kronor.

No. It should be 35.

This offer is only valid if you buy two bouquets.

Young lady, I just need one bouquet.

Half of 70 is still only 35.

One bouquet costs 50 Kronor. Two bouquets together cost 70 Kronor.

That doesn't make any sense.

This is absurd.

I'll write to Consumer Advocate.

Is the manager here?

No, she's at lunch.

Lunch?

Learning to count would be a better thing to do.

Two prices for the same thing?

It's sheer madness.

But just so you know...

It won't be two bouquets every time.

I miss you.

A MAN CALLED OVE

Incompetents!

Keep Gate Locked!

- The dog must stop peeing at our place. - Don't listen to the mean old man, Prince.

Anders! Did you see that? The old man tried to kill Prince.

- What did you do to the dog? - That's not a dog.

It looks like a winter boot with eyes.

- Pets are not allowed here. - Don't play the police.

Can't you say something to him, Anders? You are the Chairman of the Board.

- I just did exactly that. - No, I mean properly.

Good morning.

Everything good?

Aren't you chatty?

Ove!

Can we talk to you?

In the office.

A fucking promotion. Huh?

- Is everything good? - Yes.

How long have you been working here, Ove?

43 years.

- Shit. - Shit.

Did you take over your father's job?

Yes.

Yes. We have a suggestion for you.

You are only 59 years old.

You might want to do something else with your life.

Does 43 years at the same place suggest that?

Well... Eh...

- You want to fire me? - That isn't exactly how I'd express it.

But it's close. Ove.

- We want to offer you a program. - A government-run training course.

A step further.

Digital technology is taking over more and more.

Yes, but then I have a suggestion.

Isn't it easier if I just get up and leave?

- Good. - Well...

Then we agree.

Wait a moment, Ove. We have a farewell present.

A garden shovel.

You should forward your phone service to where you're going to be.

- There are no phones there. - You're joking?

Take it easy.

Come on.

Carefully. Hello! Hello!

Straight.

Straight!

Stop. Stop! Stop!

Oh, damn.

- Go. - What the fuck?

- Drive forward a little, Patrick! - What are you doing?

- A little more. - Huh?

- You're crazy. - It is forbidden to drive here.

Can't you read the signs in Swedish?

Are you blind? Are we passing by?

Nice to meet you. I'm Patrick.

You have the mind of Mickey Mouse, but if you're backing up...

Turn in the opposite direction and look in the mirrors.

(Speaking Farsi)

- What is she saying? - No idea. It is Persian.

Isn't it beautiful?

No.

No. Hello! No!

No, no! No!

Did I hit something?

- Get out now! - Yes, yes, yes.

Go stand somewhere where you aren't in the way.

- Remember that... - Thanks. I can drive a car.

- What now? - Back in as indicated on the camera.

Camera? What kind of shit cam...?

- Hi. - Hi there.

Mom!

Backup cameras?

You couldn't even rewind the cassette tape.

Petter!

Idiots.

Damn, I can not find my jacket.

Petter!

- Petter! - Yes.

Come here!

Petter!

- What do you want? - Hey!

PARKING STRICTLY PROHIBITED!

Scram!

You took my bike. Can I get it back?

- Is it not a woman's bike? - It's my girlfriend's.

And where does she live then?

In 142 over there.

Those communists who introduced waste separation?

Then she can collect it herself.

- But it's... - Hey, stop. Stop.

- No, he can not just take my bike. - He's really weird.

Hello, Ove.

Is everything okay?

Why does everyone ask that?

Why would everything not be good?

You're not at work.

It's not Sunday and you have never been sick.

Do you want anything? Or you like to talk about life?

Are you going to lunch?

Idiot!

Hey!

Disciples of Satan!

It is forbidden to drive a car here!

- Did you say something? - Yes.

It is forbidden to drive here.

Really?

But I have permission.

Of course, you have not gotten shit.

- Goodbye. Drive! - Get out of here!

Is there something wrong?

If you have visitors, tell them to park at the guest parking.

That's why we decided to have them.

They were from the municipality. They want to take Rune to a nursing home.

Our house is terribly cold. Could you come and check it?

No.

Give him another blanket.

Sorry I did not come yesterday as I was supposed to.

I just couldn't.

It's been a real circus at home.

New neighbors have been moved in the opposite house.

You'd be shocked at how people are nowadays.

They can no longer do anything right.

They can't back up with a trailer, or change a tire.

When you ask them the simplest thing, they ask you if you go to lunch.

Imagine that.

Soon we'll have a country where everyone is busy eating lunch.

You're lucky you don't have to be a part of that.

In addition, a white shirt showed up in the area.

Satan's Disciple completely.

There is no order when you are not at home.

If I hurry, maybe, we see each other today.

I miss you.

What the hell now!

Yes? What is the problem?

- We have rice and chicken. - Are you selling rice?

It's just a little food in gratitude for your help.

Persian food with saffron. Very good.

Parvaneh is very good in the kitchen. I am very good at...

The trailer is gone. I saw the note.

You're quite right, it's our fault.

- We thought you'd be hungry. - No. Not, really.

- So we throw this away then. - No, don't throw the food away.

We were told you have a ladder.

Of course, I have a ladder.

Everyone should have a ladder here. It says in the bylaws.

If you know them.

So, maybe we could... borrow it?

It feels safe when someone is always home.

- Here are the support legs. - Ah.

And the instruction manual.

So... Damn!

Do you have an 'insect' key?

- Hex keys. - Hex keys.

No, 'insect' key.

What do insects have to do with it? There are six sides, therefore Hex key.

Google it.

Ove?

Can you take a look at the heater now?

If I ask nicely?

Try to bleed the element.

Could you help?

Hello. My name is Parvaneh.

My husband, Patrick.

- Hi. - Hello.

Glad to meet our new neighbors.

- God, it's a great place here. - Yeah, great place.

- It is a paradise for children. - Yeah, yeah.

Oh, God.

Does anyone have a job to go to anymore?

Should we lift the element?

Bleed!

You don't lift the elements. You bleed them.

Rune could have asked me about the heating before he started the coup.

- Please, Ove, it was not a coup. - Coup! That's what it was!

Do you want the support legs or what?

Yes, yeah, yeah.

Ove was Chairman of the Board, then they elected my husband, Rune.

Parvaneh!

Look. They are really good...

Do not take them. They were Sonja's.

- The thing is that she was in... - Now, shut your mouth!

Silent!

That's enough!

Get out of here, all of you!

Go home!

Get out!

A paradise, right?

Ove?

Ove?

Can you come and look at something?

Yes. Do I have to?

Ove?

- The shelf turned out great. - Yeah?

How many books do you really have?

These here and the boxes in the kitchen, and those in the storeroom.

I build another shelf.

They say the brain works faster as it is dying.

As if the outside world is moving in slow motion.

I had time to think a lot.

Mostly about the elements, actually.

And about Mom.

She died at a young age.

Dad was not one of those who showed grief.

Thank you for coming.

I didn't, either.

It is what it is. It is what it is.

One thing is certain.

Whatever we do in this life, we will not live past it.

Come on, Ove. Let's go home.

Dad did not say much.

He worked around the house.

And cars.

I guess, because they did not talk much either.

Cars can give you freedom.

But if you treat them badly, they take it from you directly.

But that night he talked.

- Ove? - Yes.

I want you to know how everything is connected.

Things around us.

Huh?

- This is a Saab 92. - Yes.

- What are the spark plugs for? - For keeping the car run.

That's right.

This, Ove...

This, this is life!

There will never be any car better than Saab.

But most of the time, he said nothing at all.

After school, I went to Dad's workplace.

- Hey, hey, Dad! - Hey, Ove!

He said it was the safest way.

- Get off the track, Ove! - What?

Get off the track!

- Ove! - What are you saying?

Behind you!

It was probably the first time my father hugged me.

I don't know why, but for some strange reason, I thought of Mom.

You have to be more careful.

My dad would probably think of her too.

Then I had the opportunity to heed.

Well, Ove. You are okay now.

You now can let go of Dad.

Everyone said he was too nice.

How can one be too nice?

I got to know Dad's fine colleagues.

Stop.

Tom was one of them.

- Give it back. - No.

- I found it. - You're going to get a beating...

Sometimes one doesn't know if what one is doing is the right thing.

It's just a feeling one gets.

You fucking little brat.

Sometimes feelings can be associated in a strange way with direct pain.

What we found, we keep. That's how it's always been. Always.

Ove?

Ove?

You can do whatever you want with that wallet.

You were the one who found it.

- I found it on the train. - Thank you very much.

- Why don't you want to tell on Tom? - We don't talk about what others do.

- I thought about keeping that wallet. - Yes, I know.

But in the end, you decided to return it.

Yes.

Honesty is the best policy, Ove.

But sometimes... honesty needs a little help.

- Do you understand? - Yes, very well.

- Huh? - I understand.

Come on, let's go home.

What is it?

Finally came the day when I would experience the great freedom.

Hi, Dad.

Hello, Ove.

How did it go?

Yes, you can see... for yourself.

It was damn good.

Have you ever seen?

Guys?

Have you seen Ove's marks?

He's going to be our next foreman!

Huh?

Fives and fours. Fantastic.

What a...

Call the foreman!

Call the foreman, for fuck's sake!

Dad!

What the hell...?

What is this fucking garbage you're selling?

Universal rope, you said, huh? "Hold everything."

What did you use it for?

Ugh!

Idiot.

It is impossible to get a good rope anymore.

The new neighbors keep making a mess.

They eat rice with saffron.

What is wrong with meat and potatoes?

One doesn't need to pour fancy things in the food!

This must be the first time that you have to wait for me.

- Hey! What are you doing? - It scratched Prince.

Throw another stone and I'll sew a doormat with your mop!

It is a chihuahua.

And the cat certainly has both rabies and plague.

Oh, yes. Clearly, you do too.

But we do not throw stones at you.

You still think you can do whatever you want?

Slimy fucking old man.

- I'll tell Anders. - Go ahead, tell him.

If you can make someone who drives an Audi understand.

Four zeros on the grill and a fifth at the wheel.

If that dog pees in our area again, I'll electrify it.

Idiot!

Yeah, that applies to you too.

Scram!

This is private property.

On August 27, I lent you my garden hose.

Now I need it.

Are you now going to water in March?

You water yours, I water mine.

Can't you look at the heater, now that you're here?

Thank you. You're very kind.

I have food in the oven. You want some?

Thanks, I've already eaten.

Yeah. I'll get the hose.

Rune?

Rune?

Hey.

Just so you know.

People do whatever they want in the association.

Everything that you and I built will be ruined.

And the hell with it, I do not care.

I do not give a damn.

I'm thinking of leaving here. For good.

I'm going to join Sonja.

I thought you'd be happy to know that.

You can not do anything about it.

Just sit and watch as everything...

The food is almost ready.

Thanks for loaning it.

It was very kind of you.

- Don't you want some food? - No.

Jimmy will also eat.

Stuffed cabbage, Ove. Very good.

Rune certainly appreciates it.

He does not hear or understand anything.

Well, Rune understands much more than people think.

It's as if he knows exactly what goes on in our heads.

Yes, I must go now.

Let go of the hose.

Let go of the hose.

Hello, Ove!

We're trying to put up a window.

From outside? Good luck.

You're holding the ladder, right?

- You're supposed to hold the ladder. - Yeah, yeah.

- Where are you going? - Just...

THANK YOU. WAS GOOD. OVE.

You can rely on a Saab, at least.

The Director will see you now.

This was very tragic.

If we can help with anything, we will be glad do it.

Just let me know.

It was fine grades.

It's yours.

That's half month of my father's salary.

He always got a salary in advance.

- We can not take the money back. - Right is right.

Perhaps we can find another solution.

I knew how to do Dad's old job.

And I knew all of Dad's colleagues.

What are you going to do now that your dad is in heaven?

No, not that. Not that.

Not that.

There comes a time when you must decide who you want to be.

Now we're even for the wallet, you little piece of shit.

For me, the moment had come.

The watch is mine!

It's mine.

Are you Ove Lindahl?

Yes.

We've been looking for you.

Oh yeah?

We're going to take a look at your house.

There is a new zoning plan for the area.

The house is not suitable for future building plans.

No, Stig. Everything must be demolished.

Ove, you must be on your own until the demolition is finished.

It was the first time I encountered with them.

And it was not the last.

They never told me their names, just where they were from.

The men in the white shirts.

And they always got their way.

Ove? Coffee break.

Finally, it was finished.

And it was not so bad if I may say so myself.

But not for the men in white shirts.

Hello.

Some people say that fate is the result of our own foolishness.

You could say that what changed my fate...

was the result of my neighbors' stupidity.

Is anyone still inside the house?

- Is there someone in the house?! - Help!

Hello?

Hello!

Help!

- Get out! - Help!

Come on.

- Disconnect the hose! - I'm going in!

I tried to reason with the firefighters.

And there, he showed up again.

Turn off the water.

Shut off the water! It will be demolished anyway.

Stop extinguishing!

White shirt.

How long have we been going?

About an hour.

- Why? - Satan!

I could have woken you I knew you wanted to get off.

You looked so cute when you slept.

Did you oversleep?

No.

No, no problem.

Tickets, please.

Thank you very much.

I have no ticket.

Then you must buy a ticket.

I'm sorry, I have no money either.

I've got it.

Good?

I'll pay you back.

Don't need to.

I'm reading "The Master and Margarita".

- Do you know it? - No.

There's a cat... in the book also plank.

Have you read anything by Mikhail Bulgakov?

- No, I have not read anything of his. - Of him.

Yes.

I'm studying to be a teacher.

I'm getting off here.

Wait! You forgot this.

After that day, I got up every morning and took the 7:30 train.

But she had disappeared completely.

After three weeks, I was about to give up.

Hello.

Hello.

Do you usually take this train?

Yes.

I'm...

I'm in the army.

In...

the regiment..

Mmm-hhh.

Well,...

I thought, I should pay back the money.

Wouldn't it be nicer if you invite me to dinner?

Dinner? Sure.

Um...

I...

I don't really have a place where I can cook dinner.

I mean, at a restaurant.

Oh! Okay.

Mmm, mmm.

And you usually go to a restaurant?

Yeah.

Then we agree.

Absolutely.

Hey!

- Hey! - Hello.

- You're fifteen minutes late. - I am. Yeah.

So...

Do you know anything about cars?

- About cars? - Yes.

Perhaps it is a bit interesting to know how they run.

- It's not as simple as one thinks. - Uh-huh.

Think of a car, a Saab 93, perhaps.

It needs a power source, an engine. The Saab uses piston engines.

And piston drives a crankshaft.

The neat thing with Saab is the front-wheel drive.

So it doesn't need a propeller shaft.

- Dad was also into cars. - Hmm.

- You have hardly eaten anything. - No, I ate at home.

Mmm-Hhh.

Why did you eat at home?

So, uh,...

you could order what you wanted.

I have lied to you.

I'm not in the army.

I clean trains.

My house was burned down.

And now, I have to go.

Thank you. It was nice.

She asked what I was interested in.

I replied: "house", because it was the only thing that came to mind.

Then she told me about a training course.

Two years later, I was a trained engineer.

- Congratulations! - Thank you.

Oh, how nice!

- You like it? - Really nice.

Well...

Let's see what it says on your diploma.

- "Ove Lind..." - Will you marry me?

I thought that, uh...

maybe you would like to...

Speak calmly and clearly.

Will you marry me?

Yes.

- Huh? - Yes, I will!

- You do? - Yes.

Yes, yes!

What...?

Ouch! Ouch! What the hell? Goddammit! Shit!

- What are you doing here? - What are you doing?

You have to drive me to the hospital now.

For a little nosebleed?

Patrick was hurt, he fell off the ladder.

It could well have figured out with the ass.

Uh, drive yourself.

Hop on the Japanese sewing machine you came by the other day.

I do not have a driving license!

- How old are you? - 30...

30 years old, and no driver's license?!

Patrick was in an ambulance and may die. But I can take the bus? Thanks!

All right, I'll drive you.

Great. At last. Was that so hard?

- Where are you going now? - To get the children.

It smells disgusting!

Mom, you can not breathe.

- Roll down the windows, then. - No, not the windows.

Roll them up. Roll up the windows.

Stop it!

Can you go any faster?

Please, Ove. You won't get a ticket for parking in front of the hospital.

It will take only fifteen minutes.

He is under observation.

I'll go see him and we'll meet here later, ok?

Wait a minute. What about the children?

- They stay with you. - Huh?

You stay here with Ove, ok?

Hey!

- Book. - Yes, I see that.

- Book. - She wants you to read it.

"Mr. Brum has just begun to do what he does every Tuesday."

"When you grow up, you're going to be a train driver."

Guld-Ivar said.

- This book is not so much fun. - No, not for me either.

You need to tell the story and sound like a talking bear.

- There are no talking bears. - This one does.

"I've already been a train driver for a long time, said Mr. Brum."

Yeah. Exactly like that. Very good.

"Mr. Brum press a red button."

Roar!!!!

Roar!!!!

- "Hundreds of frantic honeybees..." - Hey, guys!

- Look, a clown! - The Clown Beppo is here!

Hey!

Do you want to see a magic trick?

I was reading a story to the children.

"He was reading a story to the children." But now I'm here.

Do you have five Kronor coin?

I need five Kronor for my trick.

Please, give five Kronor.

Thank you. Now the show begins!

Sepideh! Stop that now.

Where is Ove?

Can you tell me where you live?

- How could you just leave my children? - I did not leave the children.

These untalented,...

pretend policemen forced me out here.

We believe that your father is a security risk.

I just wanted my money back. Five Kronor!

Bim!

Beppo the Clown will leave you now.

Thanks.

- Hey, wait a minute! - Huh?

This is not the coin I gave you.

- Poor baby. - I want my 5 Kronor...

Hah!

Are you completely stupid?

Hey! What are you doing over there?

It's not my fault. She had long shoes.

It is not even funny.

Just impractical.

Damn! This is crazy!

Uh-huh.

What did I say?

I take it, it's my fault.

It's my car.

Goodbye, Ove.

- Goodbye, Ove! - Goodbye, Ove!

Intercity 3214 is arriving on the track 3.

Come and help, dammit!

Are you crazy?

Give me your hand.

Give me your hand now!

Come now, dammit! Are you stupid?

Dad!

What is the matter with you? Do you want to die or what?

You saved he.

Him?

"Saved him" is how you say it.

Idiot.

Ove!

Nasanin has made a drawing for you.

Wait there.

Wait there.

Here.

Nasanin has made a drawing for you.

The one in color is you. She always draws you in color.

- What will you do? - I have a good idea.

You teach me how to drive a car.

Patrick can not and you're much better.

- No, I do not have time. - I'll pay for the gasoline.

Is it not a good idea?

What is that?

My God, poor little thing!

There.

Ay ay ay.

Oh.

- Open the door. - It is not mine.

Now, open the door!

God, it's freezing in here. Grab a blanket.

- Why? - Quickly. Now!

Hey! What's going on?

Hey, man.

I was outside and I heard someone shouting.

I know a faster way. Wait.

They say fat people generate a ton of heat.

- I'll look for something to wipe with. - No, not in the kitchen!

What is this?

Wow, it is low.

It's for Sonja.

My wife.

Where is she now?

She's...

dead.

She was great in the kitchen.

I eat here all the time. Right, Ove?

I think the cat feels a little better now.

Who is going to take it?

I can not. My children are allergic to cats.

Oh, damn, I forgot. I'm allergic too.

Suicide is not as easy as one may think.

Now the cat moved in with me.

I have to get rid of it.

But I'll come back later. I promise, Sonja.

She looked like this from the start. Don't think I had anything to do with it.

See you soon.

I thought you liked children.

Of course, I like children.

But I just do not know if I would be a good father.

Ove, you'd be the best father our children could have.

I promise.

Hmm.

Hey!

Idiot!

Sorry, Ove! Did I hit you?

I'm practicing driving with Anders now.

Hey, hey, Ove.

And that presumptuous, when did he learn to drive?

You do not want to teach me.

You should probably have your seatbelt on.

Right.

Ah, let me just...

- Sorry. - Bye!

- Weee!!! - Ay, ay, ay.

Be careful.

- Be careful not to hit Dad's leg. - She pushed me.

I know.

What happened?

- I'll take her if you open the door. - Sit here.

Do you have anything green sign?

One must have it on the back.

The law requires when practicing driving.

I can not bear to see an idiot learns to drive from another idiot.

Cool!

Thank you!

- Hello, Ove. Everything good? - Learn to read the manuals.

Hey!

What a lovely weather for driving practice!

Here...

Some Persian pastries.

I bake about as good as I drive.

Sit.

Stop. The light is red.

I am so useless.

Now it's green.

You can drive now.

Do not forget the clutch...

- God, he stressed me out! - Careful... Oh, oh.

Start it again. Let go of the key.

Let go of the key.

Clutch up and gas down.

- That's what I'm doing! - Leave the clutch...

I can not do it!

No, you bastard!

You've never been a beginner, huh? Don't you see the sign?

- Take it easy, little old man. - "Little old man"!

I'm not a "little old man" to you, you fucking bastard!

I'm a "big old man"!

Honk once again and it will be the last thing you do.

Got it?! Got it?!

Now you listen to me good.

You gave birth to two children.

And you are about to pit out the third.

You came here from Iran, escaped the war and all the hell.

You learned a new language, acquired an education and a livelihood.

And you're married to a duffer.

You surely can fucking learn how to drive too.

It's not brain surgery we're talking about.

So, start the car now, then just drive.

Idiot.

Good.

No, no, no. I already got the cakes.

Okay.

No, no, no.

Over here.

This was Sonja's favorite bakery.

Every Saturday at one o'clock, we sat here.

Right at this table.

And ate Napoleon pastries?

- How do you know that? - It's Saturday, one o'clock.

What did you do after that?

At two o'clock, we went home.

Sonja usually read some books.

Rune and I usually washed cars.

Handwashed as it should be.

No machine damaging the paint.

Rune?

What?

You don't even talk to each other.

At that time, we did.

Actually, we were quite similar.

Stop!

- Stop, I said! - Hey!

- Rune. - Ove.

We work well together immediately.

I take a shortcut across the field.

- Don't do this again. - Tell your friends to disown this game.

We shared the same clear values.

At the association's first meeting, I was elected as Chairman of the Board.

And Rune as Vice Chairman.

A wise choice, we thought.

I think we were both surprised to have found a friend.

I'll see you later.

Until we finally discovered the small difference between us.

Do you have a Volvo?

Yeah.

What do you have?

Saab.

Uh-huh.

At first, we ignored the problem and socialize as usual.

We handled it very well.

It's a boy!

The years went by.

We also lost contact.

But then, without warning, the bastard threw me off the Board.

I was so angry, so I went and bought the Saab 9000...

CS.

Then Rune bought Volvo 960 Executive instead.

When their son had grown up...

and decided to move to the United States.

We did not see each other much after that.

I had just purchased a new Saab 9-5,

and I thought it was time to put all the old grudges behind us.

We had to start talking again.

I've been thinking a bit.

Isn't it time we put some old discord behind us?

Of course, we are friends.

And that was when it happened.

Do you want to see my new car?

BMW.

I turned around and went home.

Rune was given up once and for all.

Surely one can't drive a Volvo the whole life.

It was the ultimate betrayal.

You never had... any children?

It's two o'clock now.

Ove?

I also have to do the written test.

Can you help me?

Uh-huh.

It's part of the driver's test.

Oh, thank you. You'll be fine. You know them already.

Who?

My children.

- I don't know if this is such a good idea. - Me neither. Maybe, I should stay at home?

No, it's a great idea.

Children, we're leaving. Ove will look after you.

- Okay, okay. - You all behave.

Call if you need anything.

Bye.

I'm hungry, I'm hungry!

You're against animal testing, but not against testing on children.

Nasanin wants porridge before going to bed.

You have to wash the bottle yourself. Dad could not install the dishwasher.

He says he's going to throw the damn dishwasher out of the window.

Come, I'll show you my room.

What sort of things must be taken into account when building houses?

Uh... Water.

And the sewer.

Exactly. And infrastructure as well.

Yes.

- Have you built a house before? - Yes, but not stone houses.

He said, I was top of the class!

Uh...

Did you agree to this?

No!

Well...

Sepideh?

Hi Mom.

Time for bed.

She's sleeping.

What is this now?

What are you doing? Is that you again?

Did you see the the poster? It says: "Bicycle parking absolutely forbidden."

Didn't Sonja live here?

She was my teacher.

I could not read and write, but she did not believe I was stupid.

Then I learned everything. She was great.

Forgive me for disturbing you.

Hey!

- What to do with the bike? - Give it to my girlfriend.

Maybe, she likes it if I fix the wheel.

- I have to go to my other job. - Where's that?

I also work at a kebab place.

- I'm saving for a car. - What kind?

A Renault.

French?

You're going to buy a French car?

I met a former student of yours.

So I had to take care of something...

Before I came here. That's what I did.

Stop! Hey!

Good. Turn it off.

Now you can parallel park too.

- But, I just hit that car. - No, nothing happens.

It's a Volvo.

Wait here. I have to do something.

The bicycle is fixed now. So you can give it to your girlfriend.

- Did you fix it? - I just changed the tube.

- Are you going to eat kebabs? - No, why would I do that?

- What is he doing here? - Why do you have black eyes?

It's makeup.

I thought only girls did that.

I thinks he looks great.

Mmm-Hhh.

- He won't get any girl. - I don't want any girl.

- Are you gay? - Ove! That is not nice thing to say.

- He can say whatever he wants. - Are you one of those homosexual persons?

Yes. I am... homosexual person.

Okay then. What are you fussing about?

Do not say anything about it with Mirsad's father.

He does not know anything about it.

I do not run around saying what other people do.

You have a much worse problem.

What's that?

Buy a French car?

It may be good to know what makes the car run.

It's not as simple as you might think.

I have to go pee.

- We should go over the engine. - It's not possible. We'll do it later.

- Hi. You're Ove, right? - You've parked outside the lines.

Lena Samuelsson, local newspaper.

It is about the accident at the train station.

You saved a man's life there.

You are mistaken. It was not me.

I was there and I saw everything.

We have a series called: "The Invisible Heroes".

I think you would be a good fit.

I'm sure there must be many exciting things happened in your life.

- You want to talk about it? - No.

I have a letter from the man you saved.

You ought to read it. It's very touching.

- Wait... The letter is here. - I'm ready now.

- There won't be anything. - Why?

- Hello! - What was that?

- I hear nothing. Come on. - Can you open?

Well, so what? I did not locked the door.

Even an idiot can open it from inside.

Idiots.

Ove!

Wait.

Did you think she would disappear just because you close the garage?

God...

You're a fool!

Ove...

I just thought of something.

Stop bragging.

Seriously.

I can help clean your house a bit.

Put things in boxes and stuff.

That won't be necessary.

- A lot of Sonja's things are still out. - That won't be necessary, I said.

- Wouldn't it be nice to move on? - I told you to stop talking about it!

I have never met Sonja and she was definitely wonderful.

But you have made her into some kind of saint.

She probably would like to be just an ordinary Sonja.

A wonderful, but regular Sonja.

- Quiet, I said! - Don't yell at me.

The more idiots babble about her,...

the faster I lose the little memory of her voice that I have left.

There was no one before Sonja. And there will be nothing after.

I exist.

No, you bastard!!

Stop, for fuck's sake! Stop!

Wait a second.

If you stopped behaving like some Neanderthal,

then we would get along well.

- Stand aside. - Never. Go away, get lost.

If you have a problem with us driving here, go to complain to the municipality.

- Otherwise we can not help Rune. - I do not care about Rune.

It is forbidden to drive in here.

Not one meter.

What is it with you really, Ove?

I know what it is. You are querulant.

I did some research on you in the municipal archives...

and on the Internet.

And I know everything.

I have read your silly posts, your letters to the authorities.

I know everything about your wife and her accident.

And how you blame everyone for what happened to her.

But you know, the fact is, you did not do enough.

I will report this.

I am an employee of a private healthcare company.

We only do things that have already been decided.

You should be worried about your heart, Ove.

What do you know about my heart?

Huh?

- What do you know about my heart, huh?! - Drive.

Answer me! What do you know about my...?

Stop the car! Stop the car, now!

Stop the car! You fucking idiot.

Fucking white shirts!

What?!

This is the last warning!

Tomorrow, that winter boot will be a moccasin!

He is now really crazy.

Just forget it. Forget it, dammit.

No! You must fight!

Fucking white shirts.

Ove?

Ove, hello? Open the door!

Hello, Ove?

Are you okay?

Ove!

Come now. It's ready.

Yes.

Wait. Close your eyes first.

- Close your eyes. - Yeah.

Here.

Here.

- Ready? - Yes.

Ta-dah!

- What is this? - Come on.

Come on, let's dance.

No. No, no.

Yes. Yes. Come on. Come on.

I don't know how to dance.

In your heart, you know how to dance.

- Ove. - Hhh?

You're going to be a father to our children.

We are going to be parents!

I love you, Ove.

I love you too.

So we have to buy a Combi.

Yes, or a cradle.

Good idea. I'll build one.

Damn rascals! What are you doing?

Ehh...

Ehh...

- We came to ask you something. - What?!

Mirsad has been kicked out of his house. I thought that maybe he could stay here.

Here?

Do you think this is a fucking hotel?

Mirsad came out of the closet, today.

I told my dad that I'm gay.

And he hates gays.

And he hates homosexuals.

He would kill himself if one of his children was gay.

But yeah, yeah, whatever. Let's go.

Sonja always helped other people.

Yeah, come then.

Good morning.

I made some toasts, if that's okay.

And I made some coffee also.

I'm going to take my round.

Should you drink coffee first?

I made a little breakfast, cheese sandwich and stuff.

Before the round?

No, I have to go on my round.

Can I go with you?

It's a free country.

Oh? Okay.

Wait!

Hello.

Can I join you?

I'm starting to work out.

- Hello. Jimmy. - Hello. Mirsad.

Mmm-Hhh.

Your father got angry?

Yes.

He did not jump for joy.

All driving forbidden.

Keep gate locked!

- Have you heard about Rune? - No.

They're picking him up tomorrow.

- He's going to be in a nursing home. - That's bullshit.

It takes years before the investigation is complete.

I know those things.

Seriously.

The decision has been made. They're coming tomorrow.

Anita filed an appeal three years ago.

So now, they'll be separated.

Three years ago.

That's a lie.

Sonja would have known about it.

- No. - And me too.

Anita did not say anything to Sonja.

- She did not want you to know. - Why didn't she want us to know?

She did not want to ask for help.

She said, you had enough problems of your own.

She said that? Huh?

She said, she didn't want us to know because we had enough of our own problems?

- She said that? - Yes, so what?

Idiot!

That's what I've been.

Do not be mad at me, Sonja.

It's hard to admit to have been wrong.

Especially when one has been wrong for a long time.

I'm sorry.

But now, I must do the right thing.

I know that you worry when I get angry.

But this time, I think you'll agree with me.

Now it's a fucking war!

Give me all the papers and documents between you and the municipality...

Social security, county, church. I want everything about Rune.

Uh-huh.

To renew your service, press star...

Can I borrow your phone?

For the neighbors.

It doesn't fucking matter if they have already appealed.

Because there's a higher court.

Can you read? Are you illiterate?

Illiterate!

Hello?

Hello?!

How can you reason with people who do not listen?

- How to reason with someone screaming? - They're not listening.

Have a seat.

Turn that off.

It's the same people all the time.

The same people. As it has always been.

Their names are different, but they're the same.

The only place to put together a bunch of bastards.

The disciples of Satan.

Listen to yourself.

You told me to never give up, right?

So you sit there and feel sorry for yourself.

That's all crap, they are all idiots.

And so you just give up.

All because you think you can handle everything without any help.

But you know what, Ove?

No one can do it alone. No one.

Not even you.

You can go now.

You can go, I said.

I could not take you anymore.

It was her idea from the start.

That we would travel together, just she and I, before the baby came.

She was very determined that we would travel by bus.

Because it was more romantic, she said.

And I said nothing.

After all, it was more economical.

Down in Spain, Sonja suggested that one should do as the locals do.

I discovered that the Spaniards had much to learn...

when comparing to Swedish building standards.

We had good times.

In the evenings, we went out and ate.

We saved food from lunch buffet and we ate it for dinner outdoors.

Health!

One day, it was time to go home.

- Hola. - Hola.

- Hola. - No, thanks. No, no, no!

- What did he say? - He seems happy.

♪ We come, we come from Pepparkakeland... ♪

♪ on the road, on the road, we walk hand in hand. ♪

- Let them be, Ove. - What?

- They're having fun. - Really?

Yes.

On the bus Sonja wanted me to touch her tummy...

As the baby inside kicked hard.

Here, feel it.

Do you feel it?

He's kicking all the time.

I'm going to the toilet.

Sonja?

Sonja?

Sonja?

Help!

Sonja!

Help!

Help!

You can go in to see her now.

I sat with her for a week.

Not a soul dared to speak to me. And it was probably for the best.

Until one day...

The doctor said Sonja would never wake up.

Don't you fucking say that to me!

Huh?!

And so the inexplicable thing happened.

It was like the best and the worst happened at the same time.

Then I had to tell her about everything that had happened.

About a life that no longer existed.

In the midst of that pain, I felt a kind of inner strength.

At first, I turned that anger into something useful.

Sonja continued to study.

She had a year left on her teaching degree.

But when she finished, there was no job.

- I'm sorry, but you have good grades. - Thank you.

At the time, no school was handicap-accessible.

But one day,...

Sonja saw an ad in the newspaper.

Special class.

A class in which they grouped together all mixed letter combinations...

before combinations was even invented.

Your resume looks great, but we have no plan...

to hire a teacher with physical disabilities.

I then went into the great darkness.

I wanted to destroy everything.

Every bastard.

The damned bus company, the drunk bus driver.

Wine producer, a travel agency. Everything.

I wrote to the Spanish and Swedish governments,...

But to no avail.

The idea is to build a ramp begins at the entrance...

They did not even want to build a ramp, so that Sonja could enter the school.

I wrote to everyone, trying to get some kind of justice...

for something I didn't even know the answer myself.

In the end, it was Sonja...

She was the strongest of us all.

Ove.

Either we die or we live.

That night, I drove to school and built the ramp overnight.

The next day, Sonja was able to start working.

Welcome.

Homer wrote the 'Iliad' about the Trojan war.

But when the Iliad was written??

- David? - In 700...

- Before Christ. - Shit!

Let's say hello to Richard Stenebo and welcome him to our class.

- Hello, Richard! - Welcome.

I'm not lying.

In one year,...

those same students could easily cite 400 years old poetry at graduation.

So infinite in her ability.

As a god in her form...

And her actions.

An animal model.

But anyway, for me...

she was only dust.

Bravo!

She fought for what was good.

For the children she never had.

And so six months ago, she died of cancer.

And I promised to follow her.

Well, it's time. Is he ready?

Don't come in any farther.

Now you have had three years to prepare for this, nice and peacefully.

The decision has been made.

We're doing this for your sake, Anita.

What about love?

Separate them when they need each other most?

The problem is that, 24 hours a day, he has no idea where he is.

No, but I do.

Oh!

And who's going to take care of him?

- I will. - Oh.

With a little help...

- from... - A little help? From whom?

Hello. How's going?

- Lena, from the local newspaper. - Hello.

I have here...

the last three years' financial statements from the healthcare company Consensus.

- Which you are a shareholder. - Hmm.

And they show only marginal profit.

I also have bank statements from the bank in the Canary Islands.

They show the deposits in millions.

- Where did you get that? - Mmm, I don't have to tell you.

From Internet.

My editor would be glad to publish all this.

But the decision is mine, if you know what I mean.

He left right away.

It was better in our time.

Then, at least, people fought for their principles.

Ove!

Ove!

Ove! Call an ambulance!

Don't let the fucking ambulance drive in here.

Next to the window.

Hello, Parvaneh. You are listed as next of kin.

Yes, doc.

Your father suffers from a heart condition.

You might say, his heart is too big.

Sorry.

- Too big? - Yeah. But he will recover.

Ove!

You're fucking too sick to die.

Oh shit! I think it's time!

Shit!

It just gathered dust in the attic.

- But it has never been used. - It's very nice, Ove. Thank you.

- You may have to paint a little. - Here, hold the baby.

I need to talk to Patrick.

Hello to you...

You should lie here...

You are happy.

Yeah, you're getting something, too.

An iPad! Thank you, Grandpa!

I know that feeling.

It's like buying a new car.

This is life.

So...

It isn't shoveled in front of Ove's house.

- He's probably still sleeping. - But it's eight o'clock.

It's time for his round.

Ove!

Do not be worried that I did something stupid.

If you're reading this, the doctor's diagnosis has been realized.

She said my heart was too big.

But although it sounds good and fine, it is not a very good thing.

Sooner or later, one pays for it.

I wish that the funeral would be in a church as it should be.

I have no problem with my ashes scatter in the wind or any of the nonsense.

I want it done quietly, with only the closest...

who think that I've done right.

The cat eats tuna twice a day and does not shit in other people's houses.

Respect that.

And let no damn bastard drive inside the association.
