1971 as a human ruin in Paris.

Sid Vicious, died 2/2/1979.

Heroin overdose.

elvis presley, died 16.8.1977.

Pills as popping fat.

Dani Bexar, dead... dead.

As dead to the devil as all satanic myths.

What have you done?

I threw away all the old junk.

You threw away our memories.

Dad, where are you going? Can I come with?

Can I come with?

Moment by moment...

Moment by moment. Events and coincidences.

Moment by moment.

Moment by moment.

We grow moment by moment.

You have to remember them in order to know yourself.

Dani. - Riku.

Where was The Who's blind wizard good? You know that.

I give the first letters.

P, i, n, b, b...

You don't concentrate. Before, you only knew this and that.

Pinball Wizard, oh my god! It was superior in pinball.

You're thinking of something else, but you may not know what.

Maybe something forgotten, that you can't remember?

Where does the human story begin?

What about the story of people's love, hate and speechlessness?

At first everything was fine. It was a little paradise.

Come on, Riku.

Just stand there. Speed ​​up! - Run at full speed.

Now show dad.

Even run against the wind.

Help, Dani. -Run!

Now let's run. Harder, harder.

Run, run.

It flies, it flies.

Great.

In the glow of these candles -

I am once again pleased to wish my family and son-in-law -

very merry Christmas!

Cheers!

The rest of us in the family are already getting too old -

and because one day my son-in-law will take over the management of our company -

to continue the traditions of the Gnejs family -

like his son after him -

I hereby wish to hand him this. -Thank you.

Shouldn't it be kept here in the House of Gnejs?

Let's put it on the screen.

Higher, a little more.

Higher, a little more.

As said, time flies.

Here I am your age.

This is a handsome logo. I guess I shouldn't have given up on that.

But a new era...

Look. Benita is always as sweet as ever.

My little ice princess.

Cigar? -Thank you.

Yes, I love Christmas.

After marrying your daughter, my life has been one Christmas.

Do you remember who had a twin brother whom he never knew?

By the King, Elvis Presley.

Father also liked Elvis.

Even though father was rushing into the career pipeline at such a speed, -

that he learned to keep quiet about things.

Already had to Lovely time -

and Suvi sweet

Beautiful everywhere -

decorate the flower

He already gave his blessing

The warmth of the sun again

It gave up nature's newness

It calls to life

I have heard a bee dancing on the edge of a cake of wax.

When it's full of nectar.

Water. -When it's full of water.

And pollen and a touch of sun. -And the monkey sniffs.

Clover.

And the clover smells.

Read now.

And the clover smells.

Read, my God.

And clover...

And the clover smells.

To the beehive, to their own, whirring wise, beautiful ones...

I will go now. -Come home at eight.

I have summer vacation. - For eight!

Let's get Riku.

Oh my god, how embarrassing. - I think you did well.

It's pointless, it's a pity.

How will I ever dare to come to school again? - Come on, Marina.

Where did Dani go? - Somewhere in the boys' Saab.

Riku...

I guess we should work together more.

What would we do?

You'll see when I get back.

Where are you going?

to Copenhagen.

We are starting to import electronics. Radios, record players, etc.

I'll make time for just the two of us when I get back.

Then we'll be together a lot more.

But it didn't happen that way.

Successful people can have everything. Except time.

Time becomes more and more scarce - and when time

becomes scarce, there will also be a shortage of joy.

And you relied on me more and more, Riku.

We are playing those mind games

together our psychological game.

Pushing the barriers, planting seeds

We cut down border fences, we sow seeds.

Chanting the Mantra Peace on Earth

Our chanting mantra Peace on earth.

We all been playing

those mind games forever

Blow the smoke away. You can't smell here.

Projecting our images in space and in

time We project our own image into space.

Some call it magic, the search for

the Grail It's called magic, As a grail.

Huh? - The grail.

Do you understand?

Love is the answer, and you

know that for sure Love, love.

What song, Riku?

John Lennon's Mind Games.

What is Detroit known for? -The Motown Sound.

How many guitars did Jim have during his career? -227.

Fantastic! You have taught the boy well. - How does it know everything?

You need to pull yourself together, Riku.

What about your testimony, Dani?

This is even better than Marina's.

First you apply to graduate school, -

then you aim for Hanken and join the army.

Then you should familiarize yourself with Gnejsi's ​​transactions.

Now let's go to sleep.

The boy is superior, he can do anything.

Thank you.

Feet down.

Five of them. You buy a new car.

Can you hear the pop? Maybe a rifle submachine gun.

Dad died in just one bullet. In the middle of the forehead.

Imagine what it's like to die alone in the cold and dark.

Hard times came for my mother.

There was little food, and I was sent to Sweden.

I still remember what did it feel like.

train, ship, seasickness and nausea.

Other children in the dark. We just stared at each other.

I didn't speak a word of Swedish, nor was Finnish spoken in the village.

I lived on a farm and tried to work hard to be liked -

but no matter how i tried the village boys beat me.

I came to Turpi until I learned their language. Then it got a little easier.

In the end I was quite popular.

What are you doing?

I won't let you ruin your future -

just because you don't know how to choose your company.

You will be under house arrest for the next four weeks.

Where are you going?

You're not going anywhere.

Bexar...

Did that customer come? I'll come right away.

Some call it magic, the search for the Grail

Why do you fight so much with dad?

How much does a room cost at King of the Road? -50 cents.

What is Sid Barrett doing in Cambridge?

Drinks tea and eats scones with his mother.

Who did Janis Joplin play with before she became famous?

Jorma Kaukonen.

Who is Zimmerman? -Bob Dylan.

What happened then?

Is the TV on? -Not yet.

It's just starting. -Hey, Robin.

Ceder, Sammy Ceder. -Bexar, Henrik Bexar.

I am your son's new classmate. I moved with my mother from Pori.

What will Sammy Ceder be when he grows up?

Rich, wealthy and prosperous. Maybe not in that order.

We have the same goals.

Do you have a TV here? - This is my TV.

Hannibal Heyes, here he comes.

Hannibal Heyes is tough.

Kid Curry is tougher. Or what, Sammy?

Kid Curry is miserable.

What is this?

A review of Slade's latest. -Are you playing a rock critic?

Isn't Robin coming? -That will come later.

Great mimes.

What is? - Come and see.

Stop. It costs five marks. -Huh?

It costs a fortune to watch. -Watching what?

Two mimmies swam to us. -Fiver?

I agree with the mimmies. FIM 5, please.

We are neighbors. -Does not help.

That's the whole week's allowance. -A contract is a contract.

Yes Yes...

No no...

Everyone is fine.

Yeah, let's talk.

Merry Christmas.

Look at me like that.

I once wanted to spend Christmas at home, - so that

I wouldn't always be a guest at other people's houses.

I'm not a stranger to Hallonviken. Neither do the children.

It is my mother and father's home.

Studio musicians in Memphis -

were ripe before the last gig of the day.

They had promised to play cheaply in some junkie's session.

They can hardly raise their eyes, - when a stranger

comes and says: Hi, my name is Otin Redding.

You were supposed to come hours ago.

I understand you promised to be on time today.

You got the hell wrong.

I understand.

When we celebrate Christmas at home, I thought you would understand coming.

So that Riku wouldn't have to apply. - Now everyone is at home.

Dinner is served. -Thank you. Is there Christmas beer?

First, apologize to your mother. -What?

That you're late.

lrti, fascist.

let's eat now so the feelings cool down.

When I was your age, I fought for a better

tomorrow - and not just for meaningless whims.

You're a revolutionary. Your music is just a business

- just like the stereos and tape recorders that I bring

into the country - and with which you play your records.

During the general strike, me and my friends crashed a luxury car...

I am against violence.

I opposed society's un- passages, not my own parents.

I was in solidarity with them.

Why would I be in solidarity with such a zero?

What have you accomplished?

You married your mother and your mother's family.

Are you going to wear a goat mask all Christmas? -I do not know yet.

It would make it easier if I didn't have to see you again today.

Dani.

Dani.

Dani.

The car came into a curve 120 km per hour.

It went off the road to the right -

flew around in a ditch and hit a rock.

Jakob Pettersson drove the car.

It was in his blood 0.

6 per thousand of alcohol.

He died immediately.

Died as well Larsko Kasell and Kim Malm.

You're welcome. I'm going to finish school and..

. Dani gold.

I do not want to fight. I..

. We all love you. Don't you understand that?

Do you have to make everything so difficult for us?

I don't want to fight either but i'm finishing school.

You'll get great grades without breaking the bank.

I don't believe in grades like you do. There are more important things in life.

Maybe Dani needs a gap year.

You wanted to study English abroad.

I guess you won't go that cheap. He just wants to laze around.

I thank you.

I brought magazines, if you want to read.

You live my life then father will be satisfied.

The following years were strange. The roundness disappeared from the world.

The world had been full of round things.

Round things disappeared one by one.

And I disappeared from your life.

You are composed. These papers will get you into Hanken.

County and state. We don't bump into each other here.

Dan Bexar is calling from Denmark.

Will you answer the call? -Yes.

The call is answered.

Is that you, mom? This is Dani.

Dani, dad here Where are

you? Do you need money?

Benita? -Go away.

Open up, Benita.

Open the door!

Where does this come from?

Off, off.

Take that painting to your mother.

Take the box with you.

Now you have space, just for yourself.

Katja Beckerman. -Sammy Ceder.

Hi, Sammy. I've heard a lot of good things about you.

Nicole Wallin. -Robin Åström.

Learn from Robin.

Mimmit is like a business. You have to know how to market

yourself - and convince the customer of the superiority of the product.

Needed in this town Studio 54. -This place stinks.

Dad could borrow some initial capital.

Riku, why didn't you pursue Hanken?

Some don't realize that there must be goals.

Riku is not hungry.

It is a spoiled born shareholder.

Or too stupid to get rich.

Wasn't I with that girl a while ago?

Easier to say who you haven't been with.

Shut up already!

Go to sleep.

Be quiet.

What is it?

I need a job. I thought I'd start here.

Don't you take a gap year after writing?

Since you broke up... I can not afford.

When your mother and I broke up, I thought I couldn't continue here.

I thought of Gnejs & Co as the company of your mother and her family -

but you partners disagreed -

as is your mother's family.

They value professional people, and so do I.

Apply for a job here when you decide to apply to Hanken.

I can help you find work elsewhere.

And a stranger enters the studio in Memphis...

Can you see it in front of you?

It says: Hi, my name is Otis Redding.

Wasn't that a good thing? -It was.

Do you have Joy Division Love Will Tear Us Apar?.

Love will... It isn't.

You could shave your beard a little better, Mr. Bexar.

This company has its traditions.

I'm in a bit of a hurry. I just brought you this.

Have you started a club?

Me and Robin. - Robin?

What's up with that? -Good. It has a hard skull.

It lasts for many bottles of wine. And as Robin

says - it can't afford to be at odds with a shareholder.

It was nice to meet again.

There's a customer. You are the seller here.

You might want to serve him.

I'm going to the bathroom.

Riku. -What?

I saw Dan. -What? Where?

There.

You have to protest against protest. It's all over.

The wax cabinet at the club follows age-old patterns of behavior.

They look so terrible and the music is horrible.

Because of Jimmy Dean and It's been a long time since Dylan.

I don't understand a word.

No one knows why anything is done. Jimmy Dean is a piece of junk.

What have you done to yourself? -Dylan has become a preacher.

Engelbert Humperdink or any Iskelmä is better.

Syrupiness is the only real protest.

Sammy and other trend pellets are mere conformists.

As conformists, they get furious if their ways are questioned.

When did you come home from your travels?

when did you come home -Home?

Yes, to Helsinki. -A little while ago.

Marina, I like those buttons.

They say you were in Köpis and Stockholm.

What are you doing there? -Did you know, that you have beautiful eyes?

Hi, I'm your sister.

Don't you have any coffee?

Let's share these.

I have a daughter. Melly lives in Stockholm.

So I'm an aunt. Where is the girl now?

Melly's mom and I have a deal.

Melly can come to Helsinki if I stop...

If you stop using... -Using what? Horsemen?

You stop using drugs.

Go now.

What the hell did you come to... You are like a faija and a mutt.

Know-it-all bourgeois pigs. You know nothing, -

because you haven't seen anything.

You fear that your world will collapse if you open your eyes.

Now you go. Go!

Dani?

Dani!

Soon it will be as if the past never existed.

There will be a shortage of time.

The lack of time ticks our bodies faster and faster.

As if someone pressed the gas to the bottom and did not lighten the shoe.

Sammy Ceder has quickly created a huge business network.

He has partners, but the reins are in his hands.

Money is said to corrupt the soul.

Bullshit. Not true.

Used properly, money cleanses the soul.

A healthy soul does not avoid money, but goes to it.

Do you take any responsibility for the companies you buy?

Good night.

I'm not saying that money brings happiness -

but money is the shortest way to happiness, or what?

Sammy.

Riku, great that you came.

I'd like a little something. - You organized a great party.

We'll come back to that later.

How has it been? -Good thanks.

You bought a villa in Hawaii. - It's a castle. And my own green.

Please come and visit.

Would a gentleman offer free booze to a thirsty lady?

I can't afford anything else. - Right? Don't you know me?

Niki?

Where have you been? -Don't you enjoy company?

Now let's drink. Something really strong.

10 tequila slammers with champagne.

You must have enjoyed yourself enough.

You heard the order. 10 tequila slammer with champagne.

Just a second.

Riku Bexar, do you really want to live this shitty life?

I like Niki.

You'd rather be useful.

Do you still have those shares in your father's company?

You have a reserved seat on the board of Cederco.

Your main area of ​​responsibility is the radio station we bought.

Couldn't this be improved a bit?

However, we have one requirement.

You have to buy a suit.

A new and stylish suit.

One more thing: You said you still

have the shares of the family business.

We want to buy them.

They are not for sale. - They are. What is your price?

Think about it. No hurry.

Where have you been? -Everywhere.

How does short hair feel?

My daughter needs to get a really good home when she comes to Helsinki.

The circularity ends.

I will be a gray, honest Hessian. -Where do you live?

I just flew out of the cabin, but i got a new one. -Where from?

Are there no apartments? -Not like that, which I can afford.

Do you have any shares left? - I sold them a while ago.

you can come now but he is busy.

I want the information immediately.

You could have called. - I was nearby.

This time of day?

I have been offered a new job.

I would have offered the coffees if I had known your result, but now...

Sorry, here are the latest stock quotes.

I don't know if I want that job. - Riku, what do you really want?

Take the offered job and manage on your own for once.

Lick asses. That's what our people

have to do - if we're going to get anywhere.

I met him. -Who?

I thought everything would be fine if I met him.

It was at Tittenhurst Manors. A beautiful mansion, like the Taj Mahal.

I slept in the park for four days.

I was completely frozen. A recording artist took pity on me and helped me.

John Lennon was leaning on the door frame and I

said, "I thought everything would be okay if I met you."

John furrowed his brows. "How come?"

It had short hair and four- rimmed glasses. I tried again,

“I knew right away that A Day in the Life was written for me."

I didn't remember how much rock stuff you know.

You got the dune Radio from Bright Lights.

I'm the boss of the station.

What is happening?

Who buys and why?

Who are they?

Who sells to them?

So you bought an apartment.

It's a wise investment.

Did you move to it? - I don't. I rented it to Dan.

This is also a really good investment.

The property has been well maintained for generations.

And this came as if on top of the deal.

Can't a building this old be awkward?

Oh, because it's a protected area? -At least it needs a big kick.

The facade may well be From the 19th century, but...

there must be space inside, don't you like it?

Don't you like it? -Yeah

Damn beautiful.

It's coming here Cederco Leisure Centre.

There will be a sauna and relaxation areas.

A small art gallery would fit in that grove.

Thanks for help.

We couldn't have taken over Gnejs & Co without your shares.

Your father has fallen off the sled.

But not you. Not you, Riku.

Isn't it wonderful to be bigger than his father? Come.

Henry!

I didn't think they...

I thought you were allowed to stay in charge.

They promised me.

Dad, I wanted to help Dan.

He has a daughter, who needs a home.

Is that someone from your company?

I don't have a company anymore.

I am a free man.

Sammy, this is so beautiful! - Is it about you?

Riku, the evening is young.

Riku, where are you going?

Sorry. Doesn't Niki Wallin live here?

No, he's moved.

Where?

I do not know.

Sorry.

Can I give you these?

Good night. -What happened to that?

Nothing. -Nothing?

I'm going to the doctor.

You're already at the doctor's.

Nobody moves, nothing is shown.

I know I stand with hundreds of people in the desert.

Everything is black.

Only the sky with its millions of brightly twinkling stars is above me.

And suddenly...

The entire pyramid of Cheops explodes into light.

Right at the foot of it, Jerry Garcia's gang starts playing.

The best gig in the world.

Take it easy, no worries.

Children can handle situations like this.

You know that.

Hello, Melly. How was your trip? -Very.

Is everything okay? You are so sweet.

Nice to see you.

Father. Look.

It's a little surprise for you.

Dani wants to meet you and introduce her daughter.

You haven't even seen Riku in ages.

Hello, Melly. -So cute.

Wait here, Melly.

Good luck, Dad.

Lots of kites.

This is my daughter Melly.

Come on, Raj. Have you seen that big butterfly-looking kite?

Dani, where are you going? - Melly has to go to the bathroom.

I'll take her. - No, I'll take it.

Dani, my father is disappointed in me. -No worries.

Hello... Yeah, everything is fine.

Anything. Invigorating, sedatives, whatever.

As long as something.

Yeah, I'll be there. Clear.

How the hell can you learn to live -

when you can't even take care of your loved one?

Doctors can save Melly's

legs, - but she'll never run again.

Riku, what does your brother have? It's playing on the radio.

Has something happened to that girl?

Betraying your child is unforgivable.

When it's a danger to the one you love.

Why does everything beautiful have to turn ugly?

Can someone explain it to me?

I know that life is all about opposites.

For example, my esteemed employers.

Would Cederco's stock market sharks chase the most expensive

cars - and the most beautiful women, if they didn't know what ugliness is?

Or what does piss taste like?

They never do. Because that's what it's all about.

I'd rather burn than drown in a pond,

- where others are "trampling fools"

- as Sammy Ceder and his gang see it.

However, Sammy Ceder is just...

Just scary little shit from Pori and nothing will change.

Satan.

Did you hear how the music swayed, geeks?

The drummer didn't play wrong, it was the rhythm of the heart.

The rhythm of the heart wavers, the heart does not beat like a machine.

The rhythm of the heart... What are you doing here?

I own this place.

Devil of Satan!

Let it go.

That you became such a piece of shit, Sammy.

What the fuck?

You're just a fucking fake. Everything revolved around you.

You took all the space, without everything.

The whole family focused on Dan.

You were somehow amazing to all of us, especially dad.

You're just a bubble.

Dani... Dani.

Hi, my name is Otis Redding.

Dani.

He looks so fragile.

We came as soon as we could. -Dad, wait!

What have you done?

I want to go to Uncle Dani's.

I want to go to Uncle Dani's. -Raj! No!

I want to go to Uncle Dani's.

What are you doing here?

You have a son at home to take care of.

Melly and Raj.

Press here.

Melly, this is for you from your father.

Your father wanted to give it to you.

Look over here.

Run, run.

Run, run.

It flies!
