All language subtitles for Hypnosen 2023 SWEDiSH 1080p.HYBRiD.WEB-DL.DD5.1.H264-RARE

THE HYPNOSIS

I was eleven years old
when I got my first period.

Unlike for other girls,
there was a lot of blood.

What I didn't know at the time
was that I have a disorder.

A blood disorder
that keeps my blood from coagulating.

I actually won't stop bleeding.

Just a slight cut on my arm
and the blood will flow endlessly.

The thing is...
This is where it gets interesting.

My first reaction to this
was to feel shame.

I was ashamed of
what was happening to my body

- and definitely didn't want to tell.
- "Definitely."

- I definitely didn't want to tell anyone.
- OK. Yeah.

Luckily, I took the courage
and finally told my mother.

Otherwise,
things could have gone really bad.

In a parallel story, maybe in another time
or just in another country,

I could have died.

In many parts of the world, everything
about women's health is still taboo.

- 66 seconds.
- You nailed it. Amazing.

- That's really good.
- Absolutely.

I think we can get it under a minute.
Perhaps a little tighter.

- But good enough?
- God, yes. You nailed it.

It's honest, real and personal.

But it's kind of like...
It's a little heavy?

Perhaps lighter,
because it's a positive message?

No, no, no. It's a serious topic,
so her tone is perfect.

- Great. And you'll take it from there?
- Yes.

Wow.

Do you like it?

It's beautiful. I'll wear this.

For those who don't know Shake Up,
tell us what it is.

It's a three-day workshop
with a pitch coach.

Which ends with a big pitch competition.

And your start-up was chosen.
How do you feel?

- We're so proud to even be invited.
- So many other skilled app developers.

Getting to meet them and learn from them.
We're really looking forward to it.

Yeah. How will EpiOne stand out?

- Epione.
- Sorry.

How will Epione stand out
from all these...

We're focused on being global,
and not just for the West.

The app makes the biggest difference
in countries with the least resources.

You collect a lot of data from the app.
Do you save any of it?

- We're working on a solution for that.
- Working on it?

- We've basically found a solution.
- It's already fixed.

Can I snap a photo?
You look great together.

Smile a bit more, please.
Great. Thank you.

- We want to use the data for research.
- Exactly.

- We will never sell the information.
- Exactly.

- You're both on the same page?
- Yes, absolutely.

What kind of dog are you even?
You have to decide that beforehand.

Like this.

- It's a chihuahua.
- I'm a big dog.

- Like a stray dog?
- I'm a stray dog. From Portugal.

Hello, doggy.

- Do I smell of cigarettes?
- A little bit.

Shit. I'm sorry.

I was thinking
I'd go see a hypnotherapist.

- To quit smoking?
- Yeah.

- Isn't that mumbo-jumbo?
- No.

It's really common.
Lots of people do that.

I think it's just about willpower.

I've scheduled an appointment.

- OK. Exciting.
- Yeah.

What...

I think the pitch should include
locking some features behind a paywall.

We can mention the possibility
of that happening in the future.

- We said we wouldn't.
- But you need more funding.

Absolutely. Of course.

You shouldn't do something you don't want
but we can't stop here.

We have to step on it.

- We can say it's a possibility.
- Yeah.

But maybe we don't have to do it.
It's enough to just say it, right?

- Absolutely.
- Right.

It feels like
part of an unhealthy behavior.

- Being stressed and not feeling well.
- Do you feel stressed?

No. Do I seem stressed?

Maybe sometimes, I feel...

...like I'm not involved.

I mean... I am involved,
but I can't make decisions anymore.

Or rather, I make decisions
that I think others want me to make.

I feel like
I'm doing everything to fit in.

- Maybe the smoking isn't your problem.
- No.

I feel like you're holding back.
We all have that voice inside of us.

A voice that can hold us back
if we let it become too powerful.

Sometimes,
we have to turn that voice down.

I think we should try
something a bit radical.

Oh.

Do you remember the first time you felt
that you didn't want to stand out?

Something from my childhood?

Yeah.

Please, lie down.

Just listen to my voice.
You can be completely relaxed.

There is nothing but my voice.

- Is it OK if I touch you?
- Yeah.

Your arm is heavy.

Your eyelids are so heavy.

We're going on a magical
and mystical journey.

The journey goes deep down.

Your arm is heavy.

Your eyelids are heavy.

Your eyes... close.

You're deep down now.

There's a door down there.

You open the door...

...and there you see little Vera.

Take little Vera's hand.

Sit with her
and make her feel completely safe.

Say whatever you have to say
to make her feel everything is OK.

I'll be counting down from ten to one.

Ten.

Nine.

Eight. Seven. Six.

Five. Four. Three.

Two. One...

Hello.

Hello.

Mom, who is he?

- I'm just waiting for my girlfriend.
- OK.

So you don't think
I hang around playgrounds and...

- Why would I think that?
- Huh?

- Why should I think that?
- No, you shouldn't think...

Really nice of your mom
to lend us her car.

- What?
- Nothing.

- Feel prepared for Shake Up?
- We're confident.

No thanks. I don't like the bubbles.

- We feel confident.
- Good. Julian knows his stuff.

Please, help yourself to the nuts.

- Are they tasty?
- Yes.

OK. Then I'll have to try them.

The Wi-Fi is acting up.

- Want me to have a look?
- Please. The router is in the corner.

- See it?
- Yeah.

Must be great to have a handyman.

I've fixed lots of things
in the apartment. Come over and see.

Oh, OK. I just mean
you've never been that tech-savvy.

- Maybe you just never noticed?
- Some people just aren't good at it.

I'm as savvy as the next person.

I'm actually not great at this stuff.

It wasn't me. I just...

- I'll go get the car keys.
- Thank you so much.

By the way,
should we say hi to Julian from you?

- Since you worked together?
- Do whatever you want.

It's great that you stood up
to your mother.

Let's see what she listens to.
"Irish pub fair."

Interesting.

- Wow.
- Wow.

Imagine my mom dancing to this.

Like in Titanic when they're dancing
with "the common people".

- Show me your moves!
- No.

Come on!

- Do you say, "common people"?
- I don't know.

I don't think so.

Come on!

- Shake Up!
- Shake Up!

- Shake Up!
- Shake Up!

- Hello. Welcome
- Hi. Thanks.

- We're here for Shake Up.
- OK.

- Your name was?
- Epione.

Epione... Great.

Vera.

Thank you.

Would you like to start?

- With the pitch?
- Yeah.

That's why we're here, right?

- To work on your pitches.
- Yes, of course.

I can start.
We can start. We're together.

- The stage is yours.
- OK.

I'll take this off. It's hot.

- We'll do it here?
- Yeah.

You start.

I'll start by telling you an anecdote
about when I got my first period.

- English.
- What?

In English...

Well... Never mind.
I was 11 years old. I was very young.

And the thing is that I'm a hemophiliac.

I have a blood disorder
which causes my blood to not clot.

It just keeps flowing and flowing.

I'm standing there, 11 years old,

and it's just gushing like a river
out of me and into the bowl.

I'm covering the seat and the floor
in blood and I'm panicking.

I run to my mother like:

"I don't know what's happening!
It just keeps bleeding!"

And she, gripped by panic because she's
not great in these situations,

and more worried about getting blood
on her expensive designer carpet.

She finally helps me.

I was lucky that she did, because
it could have ended really badly.

We think, that in a country
where women's health is more taboo,

I probably wouldn't have ran for help.
I could have died.

It's your turn.

My name is André
and our company's name is Epione.

Epione is an app
that focuses on women's health.

It's not just made for us in the north,
but for the whole world.

It can monitor both your fertility
and your pregnancy.

And it ensures the safety of women
all around the globe.

We'll be showing slides now.

Which shows our expansion plan
step by step.

- Where are the slides?
- They're on my computer.

But not here?

- No, but we'll project them on the...
- OK.

As you can see,
we started the launch in Scandinavia...

Forget the slides.

Keep going without them
since you don't have them.

Umm...

We started the launch in Scandinavia.

But we quickly realized that people
around the world need this app.

OK. Sorry, but stop.

- What are you called?
- Epione.

- Epione?
- Epione. A Greek...

- Goddess of health.
- Yeah.

I think it's important
that you all understand why you're here.

We are here to act.

It's a circus. You're in the ring.
You're on stage. Telling a story.

So, on Thursday, when you're pitching
to a jury and a room full of investors,

it's really important that you know
what the hell you're doing.

What you're saying, and why.

You don't have to look so anxious,
because that's why I'm here. To help you.

I will help you,
so that you stand here on Thursday

like the superstars
you all deserve to be.

Should we do the rest?

That was a nice intro, Vera.
It was personal and specific.

Perhaps a little fluttery,
but still authentic.

It was straight from the heart.

But what came after that... Just no.
That doesn't work.

Do you have any idea why?

- Like this. It's too artificial.
- Yeah.

And you give off nervous energy.
You have to use that.

Don't fight it. What are you doing?

- I'm just...
- And what are you doing now?

Like an amusement park
of nervous gestures.

Weren't we supposed to act?

- Sorry?
- You said we were here to act.

- Isn't artificial good then?
- He means it's too much...

Good catch, Vera.

I like your interjection,
that you're candid.

You say what's on your mind immediately.
That's the right mindset.

This nervous energy doesn't have to be
a bad thing. Just work with it.

Could you give him some space?

Right. Assume a pose
you're comfortable in.

Does he look comfortable?

If any of you want to know more
about sustainable irrigation,

how it works, why it works,
don't hesitate to come chat with me.

Thank you.

Thank you. Well done.

There are a few things to work on,
but you catch my interest.

- Good.
- That's what's important.

Does anyone have any comments?

Yes, André?

I thought that maybe
it felt a bit too polished.

- That Karin's pitch was too polished?
- Yeah.

Does anyone else agree?

No.

OK. Alright.

- Thank you, Karin.
- Thank you.

Let's see... We have time
for one more before lunch. Sara?

We should try to get
some alone time with Julian tomorrow.

Want to talk
about what happened at the pitch?

Maybe not now...

Can you stop?

Want me to invite Julian?
You wanna have a gang bang with him?

- No. Just... what's going on?
- What?

- What? I thought we did good.
- I think he thought it was incoherent.

- And why did you do it in Swedish?
- I don't know. Because he liked it?

I feel you're not taking this seriously.
The days here are important.

What is it?
You think it's important too, right?

This isn't like you.

Can we just talk about it?
Can we just make a game plan and...

- Where are you going?
- Do whatever you want.

That's the thing. I want to see a koala,
I want to see a kangaroo.

I want that part of Australia. I want...

When closer to the solution,
there are more Legos,

and there are only
Legos in the solution.

- Very nerdy.
- Attention to detail. Or nerdy.

I really like this one.

The nerdiness
or attention to detail is great.

Great.

- Bye.
- Thank you.

- Crazy inspiring workshop. I love it.
- Thank you.

It would be great
to pick your brain some more.

Is it crazy if I asked you
to have a drink with me?

We get so little time
during the workshop,

so the more I can get the better.

- Will Vera join us?
- She has a meeting.

- So she can't join us, but...
- Sure.

- It's on me.
- I was thinking about the...

Right...

I know you were good
from your reputation, but...

- Think I'm too harsh?
- No, not at all.

I appreciate it. It just means
that you take me seriously.

Everything you do is great.

Speaking of which, I read that new book
you recommended on Twitter.

- The one by Fukuyama.
- His latest?

Yes. It was amazing.

Tons of interesting thoughts and...

- Yes, he has a lot to say.
- Indeed.

- Hi.
- Hello.

We ended up here.

- What were you saying about Fukuyama?
- Huh?

- You said something about Fukuyama.
- It was just...

It was stuff you've thought before,
but he puts it into words.

You've read it too, Vera.
Fukuyama's latest.

No. I never got through it.
It was so damn boring.

You also said it was boring.

- No.
- You did.

You're thinking of a different book.

- No.
- Yes.

- No.
- Yes.

I mean, it was slow in the beginning,

but the more you read,
the more it pulled you in.

It really demanded
that you really read it,

not just skim through it.

It's a very short book.

It goes from being slow
to super exciting really quickly.

But you never finished it.

What? You're thinking
of a different book.

- I think...
- André.

It's OK to find it boring.

Of course.

- I think it was boring too.
- I don't think so.

Excuse me.
You didn't order this, did you?

No, I just took a glass of milk.
You weren't there.

- OK. I have to charge you for it.
- Sure. We'll pay later.

- I can pay now instead.
- No, don't worry.

- Just don't take things from the bar.
- Of course.

Thank you.

I forgot I have a meeting.
I have to get going.

- See you tomorrow.
- Sure. See you.

I look forward to tomorrow.
It'll be very exciting.

- Tomorrow will kick ass.
- Sweet.

What are you doing?

- What?
- What the hell are you...

- What?
- What do you mean "what"?

Why'd you say I found the book boring?

In front of the guy
who recommended it?

- He didn't write it.
- No, but still.

- And why take milk?
- I'm not allowed to drink milk?

That you steal.
Reach over the counter and steal milk.

I didn't steal anything.
I'll pay for it.

- I think he thought it was funny.
- I don't think he did.

You've focused on big grocery stores,
not regular people.

- They throw away tons of food, right?
- We're always ready to expand, so...

We'll have to take a look
at that in the future.

- Exactly. Good. Well done.
- Thank you.

Great answer. A round of applause.

Interest isn't something we get,
it's something we deserve.

A big part of that
is how we answer questions.

Not like this, but like this.

Remember that at tonight's mixer
with the selected investors.

To me, this is as important
as the formal pitch tomorrow.

That doesn't mean you can't have fun.
It's supposed to be fun.

Have a drink or two, go out there and...

Remember when I wanted a chihuahua?
You thought they were super ugly.

Yeah.

Imagine having one. A little one. Look.

So cute. Hello little one.

Oh! Hello!
He's so happy.

- We should go downstairs.
- What'd you say? So cute.

I also think this is awkward.
The whole setup. It's not cool.

But since we're here,
we should try to participate.

We should go down
and mingle with people.

Yes.

- We should go all-in since we're here.
- Yes.

We have an opportunity to...

Yes.

Absolutely.

- How did the hypnosis go? How was it?
- It was hypnotherapy.

It was just mumbo jumbo.
Forget about it.

- Want something from the bar?
- I can have another one of those.

- Right. I don't know what it's...
- Hi.

- Hello.
- Are you having dinner?

We're just
having a bite before the mixer.

Oh, how nice.

I was just passing by.

- Have room for one more?
- We...

- We don't have any more chairs, but...
- OK.

Yeah, sorry. The energy drinks.

They X-rayed people. You don't wanna see
what happens to your intestines.

- Kind of like, what do you call it?
- Yeah. No energy drinks for me.

I have a stomach condition.
"Stomach wound" in Swedish.

- Ulcer?
- Ulcer. Maybe that's it.

It's awful. Some days,
it's like someone stuck a knife in me.

And I can't get up. So it affects
my work and stuff like that.

In a weird way, I feel it's made me more
effective because I learned to organize.

I think I have a higher capacity
than before actually.

Which is weird.
Challenges can really make you stronger.

- Wow.
- How does it work with treatment?

It's all about having a strict regimen
and being good to yourself.

Like sleeping,
the right diet, exercise...

Right diet
means all vegetables.

It's fine. It's good
for the environment.

Wow.

It's really impressive what you've
done with the company. Really.

I'm really proud of it. It's my baby.

- I also get these headaches...
- Sorry?

I get... the headaches...

Is it like a migraine?

No, it like starts behind the ears
and it kind of expands. It feels...

It's a horrible feeling
when you can't... work.

- Chronic? Do you have it all the time?
- It can happen at any time.

That's the...

But how often do you get them?

Maybe once a month.

Oh, it's just
once a month. That's good!

Not that often.

No, but you
never know when it'll come.

It can happen now. I go to bed
thinking: "Is it gonna happen?"

I think everyone gets those.
It's a regular headache.

It's somewhere between
a normal headache and a migraine.

- I think we can spare the details.
- I actually have the same.

I actually have the same thing.
It's not migraines and it's so annoying.

I know.

- I feel I've tried everything.
- Me too. Horrible.

- So, are you here to pitch as well?
- Yes, we're in the same group.

- We're gonna...
- They're both in the "flock".

- Nice to meet you.
- Very nice to meet you.

- I'm André.
- Claudia.

I'm Karin.
I don't think we were introduced.

Yeah, OK. Hi, Karin.

People may call us naive, but we
believe we can change the world.

Our main thing
is that our app is so data-light

that you can use it on any phone
all around the world.

Because all around the world,
people don't have

- the latest iPhone.
- So for everyday person?

- Not just for the rich.
- For the common people.

Exactly. For the common people.

This is Vera. Our co-founder.

- Hello. I'm Vera.
- Hi, I'm Claudia. Nice to meet you.

- I love your look.
- Thank you.

- What are you drinking there?
- This is the perfect combination.

It's milk and booze.

- Like a White Russian?
- Yeah. Want to try it?

OK.

- It's pretty good.
- It's good?

- Not my cup of tea.
- Me neither.

- Have you seen my dog?
- No. Have you got a dog?

Yes but it's always running away
because it's a puppy.

- I haven't seen one.
- I need to keep an eye on it.

It's right there.

Come on. You can't lie under the couch.

Now I see it.

- What kind of dog is it?
- It's a chihuahua.

- Boy or girl?
- That's a good question.

I don't know actually.

This is embarrassing.
I don't know if it's a boy or girl.

- We should find out.
- We need to find out.

Can you see what it is if I hold it?

It's not scary. It's not dangerous.

- Oh, it's definitely a boy.
- Really?

- Yeah.
- OK, perfect.

Now we know. That's nice.

Oh, God. Sorry. He needs to pee.

- OK.
- You want to follow me with the dog?

- I don't know. I just...
- Come on.

- Wait! Stay!
- We're kind of in the middle of...

It'll be fun.
We can just walk around the block.

You don't have to walk the dog.

- I love your girlfriend.
- Yeah, me too.

- Come on. Watch out for the dog.
- I'll be...

I think it's awesome that you're
a front man for a feminist company.

Right. Or what do you mean?

I just think it's a bit special
because you're a guy.

That's really interesting.

This is an issue for everyone that
has to be fixed, just like the climate.

Absolutely. That's not what I meant.

Well, perhaps I think the climate
is a little more important.

- Well, both are big issues.
- Yeah.

- Maybe it's a bad comparison.
- That makes it a bit "potayto-potahto".

- But one of the issues is a bit bigger.
- You're entitled to that opinion.

- You have to agree.
- Do I?

What does gender equality matter,
if we don't have a planet?

But if it's like this on the planet,
then we may as well all be dead.

Right?

I don't mean it like that.
The climate is super important.

I've really wanted to get a tattoo
but I have awful ideas.

One time, I wanted a tattoo
of chicken nuggets on my arm.

It's a terrible idea,
but I really wanted to do it.

To me, tattoos are about
committing myself.

Did you get to know
the people working here?

- Yeah. Why do you ask?
- No, just...

Exactly. You're always changing.

- André has a tattoo.
- Really?

- On his arm.
- Can we see it?

- No, it's...
- Come on, show us!

- Show us! Show us!
- Alright.

- Let's see.
- Exciting.

- It's nothing dirty.
- Right.

- I got it a long time a ago.
- OK.

- Wow!
- Nice!

"Refuse to sink."
Spent a lot of time at sea?

My parents have a boat,
so I've spent a lot of time on it.

Your parents live on a boat.
They have a houseboat.

- Oh, they live on a boat? Cool.
- They're clowns.

Wow. Having parents
who are clowns is rare.

It sure is.

They're not clowns per se.

My dad studied in Paris.
It was more of an acting school.

It's more like physical theatre.

- Like, they're not clowns.
- Ah, of course.

- Not with a red nose.
- They say that they're clowns.

It's different being a clown in France.

In France, they see clowns
more intellectually.

You see? If you really believe in it,
it becomes reality.

But you have to believe in it.
That's what I was talking about earlier.

How important it is to allow ourselves
to be childish, use our imagination...

- I can take him.
- I think he's fine with me.

No, I think he wants to be with me.

OK. I'm not a dognapper.

The maternal instincts are kicking in.

- A side effect of imagination.
- Like a metaphor for an idea.

- You have to nurture it.
- Exactly. That's what this is about.

Not judging your impulses, not...

- Hi.
- Hi.

- Wanna try this?
- Are you trying to drug me?

- I wish I could. No.
- OK.

- Is that dry?
- No, definitely not dry.

I asked three times for dry wine.
This is the worst I've had.

- Want me to talk to her?
- I think I told her alright. It's fine.

No! Move it! Get out of the way!

- You stepped on my dog.
- Oh, I forgot about the dog.

You stepped on my dog.

- I'm sorry.
- You fucking stepped on my dog!

- It's a puppy!
- OK, I get it. It's not funny.

You need to watch out.
Are you a sadist or what?

- You need to watch your step
- That's enough.

Seriously. First you touch his dick,
then you step on people's dogs.

What is your problem?

- OK, I'm so sorry I...
- Seriously! Don't touch my dog.

Don't touch me like that!

OK? It's not funny.
There is no fucking dog!

No, it's a joke.

There is no dog.
Obviously, there's no dog.

- It's a joke.
- I was just messing with you.

- Did I scare you?
- I got scared.

I scared you a little.
Did you pee your pants?

No, I'm sorry. That's also a joke.
Get off me.

- Claudia... Would you like to...
- I'd love to. Thank you.

She is absolutely mad.

What's going on?

Can we please just go to bed?
The pitch is early. Lotta will be there.

We have to go to bed, right?
Right? Don't you agree?

- No, no, no!
- Stop it!

This isn't like you.
What's going on?

I don't wanna tell the anecdote.

I don't want to tell it
like we wrote it.

- That's not how it happened.
- Everything's built on it.

- It's not.
- Yes, it is. It's the hook.

- I don't want to lie.
- We're not changing it.

I don't want to.

I don't even have a blood disorder.
Why would I say that I am?

We can't change it.
It's out of the question.

I'm thirsty.

OK.

I'll bring you some water
and then we'll go to bed?

DO NOT DISTURB!

- Take care.
- See you.

- Hello!
- Hi.

- Where's Vera?
- She's not feeling well.

She's not feeling well?

She can't be sick today.
She has to be here.

- She can't.
- Yes, she can.

She has to be here,
give her painkillers or something.

You can't do this alone, André.
It won't work out. It...

It's her blood disorder.

- Now?
- Yes.

- I don't know what else to do.
- I understand.

What do you think we should do instead?

So, what's next for us? We already have
a strong foundation in a team

that is driven,
and we love it because...

- Where's Vera?
- She's sick. Lotta will cover for her.

You can't change plans
on such short notice.

We can postpone it. How sick is she?

- It's her blood disorder.
- So, you're filling in instead?

- Yeah, maybe it's not great...
- Let's postpone it?

She can at least stand, right?

No, she's really not feeling well.
The timing sucks.

But I think I should just do it alone.

Thank you, Water Cause.
We're gonna move on to another pitch.

Here to present Epione, are co-founders
Vera Josefsson and André Sandbu.

I'm not supposed to be alone on stage.

Vera, my girlfriend and co-founder,
is supposed to be here with me, but...

She's feeling very ill and can't attend.

I'm very sorry about that.

But it's ironic

because our company
is about female health.

And her problem
is very much a female health problem.

She has a blood disorder.

In fact, in a different country
at a different time...

...if she didn't know how to ask for help
when she was little, she could have died.

In many parts of the world,
female health is still taboo.

My name is André,
and our company's name...

...is Epione.

Vera, are you OK?

Epione is an app
that focuses on female health.

Just a second. I'm really sorry.

- I tried to wake you.
- What?

- I had to start.
- What...

You wouldn't wake up,
so I had to start.

What do you mean
"didn't wake up"?

You were impossible to wake.
You were too drunk.

You have an audience, OK?

- Feeling better?
- Do I feel better? Yes.

Whatever this is will have to wait.
You were late. That's what matters.

Let him do it and you can talk later.

I'm in the middle of it
so I'll just finish it myself.

OK.

Vera, we'll talk later.

- It's just the way it is.
- Sorry.

It's focused not just on people
in the north, but in the whole world.

But let's see
what makes Epione stand out.

Thank you, André and Epione.

Next up to present her company, Doris,
is Karin Munthe.

So... Water...
We drink it. We need it.

But also,
we actually don't have enough of it.

That's why I'm here to present...

You've reached Vera's voicemail.
I can't take your call right now.

I'm sorry.

- Hello.
- Hi. What was that?

Sorry, it's under control. Sorry.

I can't take your call right now.
Leave a message...

- I'll look you up later.
- For sure.

- Nice seeing you.
- Same, bye.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- Where have you been?
- Sorry.

- Has anyone shown interest?
- Yes. We have a Frenchman.

But he wants to meet with you both
and hear about your company.

OK. When?

Now! He's leaving for France
in a few hours. Time is short.

- He has to meet both of us?
- Of course.

OK...

Can she handle it?

- Yes.
- OK, great.

- I just have to check if...
- Sure, great.

Yep...

You've reached
Kungsholmen's Hypnotherapy.

We can't take your call right now.
Our business hours are Mon-Fri, 8 to 5.

- She's been hypnotized?
- That's my theory.

- How do you think that sounds?
- How does it sound?

- Not very plausible.
- She's completely changed.

- In what way?
- It's hard to explain.

How do you want me to explain that
to the French investor I got for you?

"She's been hypnotized."?

Of course we won't say that
she's been hypnotized, but we can...

Just find her
and tell her to snap out of it.

I've called her 60 times.
She won't answer.

Oh my God...

We'll find another girl.

What...

We'll find a girl to pretend to be Vera
when we meet him.

So that he sees you have a nice
relationship and work well together.

That she's nice and all that stuff.

Maybe he's seen Vera...

Perhaps, but he's French
and met lots of people.

Young girls probably
all look the same to him.

You'll have to trust me.

OK.

I'm Vera. André and I have been
together for 6 years.

- We founded Epione two years ago.
- And why are you passionate about this?

It's about making a difference
for women all over the world.

And that's why you want
the company to grow quickly.

Great. Perfect.

Will we talk about our relationship?

- Hobbies and stuff?
- No, we don't have to bring that up.

- OK.
- I gotta take this. Excuse me.

- Hello?
- This is Kungsholmen's Hypnotherapy.

- You called us.
- Hi!

Yeah...

In a moment of weakness, she told you
that she wanted to be like this.

Right? And because she told you that,
that makes it OK?

This is really something
you should be discussing with her.

I can't get a hold of her,
that's why I need your help.

She's not hypnotized.

That's not how hypnosis works.

She's not
walking around hypnotized.

Hypnosis is just
a tool to alter patterns.

She's fully conscious
about everything she's doing.

It's completely normal to compensate
for how you've lived before.

- Do you understand?
- Yeah.

- Hello! Nice to see you.
- Nice to see you again.

- A pleasure.
- Nice to meet you.

- This is Vera.
- Nice to meet you.

- Please, sit.
- Yeah, sure.

- We're happy you wanted to talk to us.
- My pleasure.

- Something to drink?
- That would be nice. Thank you.

- Let's find a waitress.
- I'm sorry, but I don't have much time.

- We know.
- We're happy you could make it.

No, honestly, it's fine.

I recall that you couldn't attend
the pitch because you were sick.

- How are you feeling?
- Oh, I'm...

It was actually
a bit of a misunderstanding.

- I wasn't feeling well.
- It wasn't serious.

- It was just...
- Just food poisoning.

OK. I don't need
to hear all the details.

- Did you want to order anything?
- Yes. An iced tea, please.

Iced tea... What flavor do you want?

- What do you recommend?
- I prefer lemon. It's a classic.

- I'll go for lemon.
- Perfect.

- I'll have sparkling water, please.
- Sparkling water.

- Citrus or plain?
- Plain.

- Do you want anything?
- No thanks.

- Thank you.
- Great. I'll bring it out shortly.

Sorry. As I just said,

I wanted to meet you. I don't have
much time. We'll try to be efficient.

Sorry about that.

I really appreciate your pitch.
It was very good and interesting.

- Thank you.
- As I said to Lotta,

the market is huge and I would be
very happy to work with you guys.

And to make something of your project.
Something I need to, actually.

I'm happy that it's you
who want to talk to us.

Because I think it can be...

- Glove in hand... No...
- A win-win.

- Win-win.
- Yes. It's a win-win situation.

Back to your pitch.
It was very interesting.

I just wanted to ask
a few questions if that's OK?

Of course. We love questions
What do you want to know?

- I think together we can...
- Sorry, have we met before?

- I recognize you.
- Oh, no. I'm Vera.

- Your name's Vera?
- Yes.

- My name is also Vera.
- Oh? That's crazy.

- Crazy. Vera and Vera. How about that?
- Yeah...

Sorry, can we have our drinks?
He has a plane to catch.

I'll bring them right out.

Anyway, you seem
to be very nice people.

What's it like
working with your partner?

- It's good.
- You must spend a lot of time together?

- André?
- Yeah, I...

Yes, we...

We spend a lot of time together.
We like each other's company.

I don't think my wife and I
could do that. Working and...

- It's impressive.
- I think it's...

That's what it's about.
Finding someone you're...

That you're just happy being together.
That's what it's all about, I think.

- I truly love her.
- OK.

You don't have to get
all that emotion on me.

But you can feel his love.
It's impressive.

Thank you so much.

- You have my contacts. I'll get yours?
- Yes.

- So we keep in touch. Bye.
- Thank you.

Thank you for your time. Thank you.

- Was that Vera?
- She's just having a little psychosis.

- That one is ours, right?
- Yes.

- Let's go get changed?
- Yes.

I just wanted
to take this moment to thank you.

All of you. It's been amazing.

I've been moved and inspired.
I've had fun and I...

I'll miss all of you,
but I think we'll meet again.

With those words,
I hand it over to you.

Thank you.

It's been very hard
to choose just one pitch.

But after much discussion, the winner
really made us believe in an idea

that can work not just here in the Nordic
countries, but all over the world.

The winner
of this year's Shake Up award is:

Karin Munthe and her company Doris.

- Hi.
- How are you?

I'm good.

- Where's Vera?
- She's still not feeling well, so...

I understand.

Just so you know, Vera's mother
and I have decided

that you'll get a spot at
Common Ventures, in spite of this.

You'll get access to our network
and you'll have an office in Stockholm.

Yeah? Just one thing.

No dogs allowed.

Great. Cheers.

- What a couple of days! I'm exhausted.
- Yeah, I'm...

How do you guys feel?

Thoughts, reflections?

What have you experienced?
I want to hear all of it.

It's hard to take in.
It's like a sensory overload.

It all happened so quickly,
and now it's over.

Feels like it'll take a month
to process it.

I think it's great that we're all...
The atmosphere's been great

because we're so different. So we
don't compete, but inspire each other.

It's like when you were
at summer camp as a kid.

You dread going there
because you don't know anyone.

Hey! What's up?

I'm hooking up
the sound for the party.

There's something nice about that,
even as an adult.

Getting away
from comparing yourself to others.

- Be inspired instead.
- Exactly.

I think we have that atmosphere.

It doesn't feel like a competition.
I'm happy someone won.

Excuse me. I just have to...

I just have to plug in this cable.
If you could just scoot over.

There we go.

It's a lot to take in.

I'll just test the stereo.

- Stereo?
- Are we going to play music?

What now?

I have to reach this.
Could you scoot over?

Oops. We'll have to fix that.

- Was it the fuse?
- Christ...

- What the...?
- Oh, God...

- What happened?
- She connected a cable or something.

- Jesus!
- OK.

Really weird.

Hi.

I spoke with your hypnotherapist.

She said that...

...that you're not really hypnotized.

I don't get what you're doing.
I mean, what's going on?

If you could tell me...
what you're going through, I could...

Did you give me sleeping pills?

Did you?

Yes.

Guys. We're taking a group photo.

I'm sorry.

Huddle up, guys. And smile.

Right.

You too.
Are you all here now?

- Yes, we're all here.
- Great.

No, wait. It's not OK. Vera.

I'm sorry, but I don't want you
in the photo.

What?

It feels wrong
that you're in the photo.

What?

After your behavior tonight,
after your attitude, after...

- What are you even wearing?
- An apron.

OK.

- First day at work?
- Yeah.

Listen. Don't mock me.

This photo means something to me. OK?

What we've shared here.
What I've tried to build with you.

- I don't feel you were a part of that.
- What?

So, I don't want you in the photo.

- Stay in the photo.
- What?

Stay in the photo.

- Let's just take the photo.
- Wait. No.

Let's just sort this out.

Please. No one thinks you're funny.
Whatever it is you think you're doing.

- What am I doing?
- Don't play dumb.

- What am I doing?
- Nothing. Just take the photo.

- She can speak for herself.
- I'm just saying...

You're just saying?
Can you please just shut up?

Let Vera... If you have
something to say to me, say it.

- It's incredibly disrespectful.
- OK.

I'm trying to create something where we
can accomplish things, build something...

- I think we all...
- Wait and let me finish! Please!

- Relax.
- And you can shut the fuck up.

You're pissing all over it.

I don't know what you're doing,
but it's not funny.

- Does anyone find it funny? Am I wrong?
- No.

- So everyone wants us to leave?
- Yes. Or I don't know.

Seriously, what are you doing?

- It's not even funny.
- Just leave so we won't have to fight.

Forget this. Fuck this.

- Oh well. It happens.
- Yeah.

- Let's take the photo now?
- Yes.

- Are you all ready?
- Yes.

- I said, are you ready?!
- Yes!

You goddamn fuckups.

Do you think she's spoken with Julian?

Hello. You're here already? OK.

I'm having lunch
with some colleagues...

Oh, sorry.

No, come in.

- We don't want to...
- Don't be silly. Come.

- I heard you just attended Shake Up.
- Yeah.

Must have been great
to be there and do your thing.

- Eva says you're great.
- I don't know about that.

- So, what's your plan now?
- There are so many alternatives.

Yeah, exactly.

We'll have to see what happens.

Want some more wine?
Or maybe you'd prefer milk?

No, I'll have some wine.

What is it that you do?

- It's an app.
- Yeah?

Exactly. It's about women's health
in developing countries.

Wow. That's awesome.

- Amazing. That's great.
- It really is.

Yeah, so you mustn't waste
this opportunity, right?

It's important. Something
you can be proud of, you know?

Opportunity
doesn't knock twice.

It's better to own
that you're doing good work.

- People respect that.
- Absolutely.

That's how the world works...

Mind if I use your bathroom?

- Cheers, and thank you for coming.
- Cheers

- That was wonderful.
- Delicious. And this wine, Eva.

I didn't make the wine.

- That would be something.
- It sure would.

What... Hello?

André?

No! Quiet!

God... Eva?

No, that's enough! Cut it out!

- No...
- What is this?

- No...
- What the hell...

- This is insane.
- Oh my God.

Is he OK? Is he on something?

God, that's insane.
I think he needs some air.

Bad doggy!

Come here! Outside. There we go.
Stay. Bad doggy!

No! Sit. No!

Come, let's go. Come on.

Seriously, he must be ill.

Right...?

I'll count down from ten to one.

When I get to one, you'll
open your eyes and be only yourself.

Vera.

Ten. Nine.

Eight. Seven.

Six. Five.

Four. Three.

Two. One.
