Original subtitles

-A toast to love! -Cheers to love!

And handsome men.

-Cheers, Hanne. -Cheers.

Cheers, Mom.

Oh, how nice.

What a lovely day.

-Where are you going? -To the restroom.

-If that's okay? -Yes, no worries.

Darius?

-I'm sorry. -Huh?

-I didn't know Lysander would be here. -That's fine.

It's my mom.

She's impulsive, but she usually has some social intelligence. I don't get it.

-It's fine. -If these are her social antennae�

They must be all soggy and sagging, and covering her eyes.

It really is fine. No problem.

-I love you. -I love you too.

Since when do you drink soda?

Your hair looks nice.

Thanks.

It's different, but it looks really good. It becomes you.

Why are you here?

Your mom invited us, and we accepted the invitation.

Okay. Why?

You'll have to ask her.

You know what I mean. You could have declined.

My mom really wanted to come.

I thought� If I knew it would make you so uncomfortable, I wouldn't have come.

No, I just think it's a bit weird.

I can leave.

That would be even more weird.

Then I'll just have to stay.

I just don't get why you want to be here, with my fianc� and his family.

Congratulations. I mean it.

-It's just wonderful. Congrats. -Thanks.

And it's a bit weird.

Are you happy?

With him?

Yes.

Are you?

Yes.

Are you sure?

You haven't changed.

So, are you seeing anyone?

No, nobody in particular.

No?

-Why? -I was just wondering, you know.

Sure. Thanks for your concern, Dad.

I'm doing fine.

This herring is fantastic.

-I can't stop eating. -I agree.

Right? And the wine!

-Cheers. -Cheers.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

Sara picked it.

Sara has good taste, both in wine and in men.

-Oh yes. -Yeah.

A toast to men!

-A toast to life! -Yes, cheers!

-Have some water. -Don't you want more praise?

Hey, Hanne, I had a thought. Let us know if we can help with the wedding.

-Call if you need help. -Sure.

I'm serious. You have to call, because he's afraid to ask for help.

I am not. It's just that we don't need help.

-Such a good boy. "I can do it myself!" -Right.

Did we tell you about the venue at that Christmas party?

No.

I have no idea if they do weddings, but�

-Do they do weddings, Tabur? -Who?

-That Christmas party place. -Mom, I think we've decided on a venue.

Oh, right.

But it's good to have a backup plan.

Exactly. A backup. It's not that hard.

Sure, Mom.

My father was a judge.

-Wait, not a judge, what was it? -A notary public.

Notary public. Then the rules changed, and he can't officiate weddings anymore.

Now you need to be a mayor or�

-Chief magistrate. -Huh?

-Chief magistrate. -Right, did I say mayor?

Now only chief magistrates and public officials can do it.

Yes, and delegates. Public officials and delegates can be ordained.

-Lysander can officiate weddings. -Really?

-Yes. -You can?

-Have you done weddings? -Yeah, plenty.

-I officiated a wedding last week. -Wow.

-Do you enjoy doing it? -Absolutely.

I think it's beautiful.

-We need to toast the soon-to-be married. -Absolutely. To you and me.

-Right. Cheers! -Cheers.

-Cheers, Hanne. -Cheers.

Cheers, darling.

-Wanna split a cab to the central station? -No, go ahead.

FOUR WEEKS EARLIER

Don't you have an airport train to catch?

It's fine. They leave every ten minutes.

Have fun. I'll be off very soon.

I'm off now, if you want to come say goodbye.

-What are your plans? -I've told you ten times, dear.

A movie, and then maybe a glass of wine.

-You look nice. -Thanks. Have you seen my phone?

-No. -Could you call it?

Yeah.

Who are you meeting?

Nora and Astrid.

-Don't miss your flight. -I've got two hours. I'll make it.

-So I'll see you� -Tomorrow night.

Good luck!

Have fun.

Thanks.

-Hi. -Hi.

-Hey, you. -Hey.

Hanne, I assume?

Yes. Lukas?

Yes, that's me.

I ordered for you.

A gin and tonic.

Thanks. That's brave.

I can get you something else, if you'd like.

No, this works well.

I've booked a room.

You said on the phone you were afraid of being seen, so�

Should we�

-Now? -Yeah.

We could get to know each other.

So you're on Tinder

to get to know people?

Maybe.

Okay.

You're that type.

What type?

The type who takes one step at a time.

Are you in a hurry?

No, not at all.

Are you looking for someone?

No.

Do you have a partner?

Do you?

No, I'm single.

If you're afraid to be seen or something,

we do have a room.

We could always

just go up there.

Yeah, maybe.

-Yeah? -Yeah.

Nice. Come on.

Do you do this often?

What is often?

You're avoiding the question.

How about you?

-No, in fact I don't. -Okay.

I get some player vibes from you.

I wouldn't say that.

-No? -No.

What's on your mind?

-Oh, nothing. -Nothing?

No, I was thinking about Mom and Dad's secret.

-Huh? -What if they've won the lottery?

Maybe they'll give us a million each.

They don't play the lottery.

I know that, Hanne.

If you could only ever eat one thing, what would it be?

I don't know.

No, it's just� Thanks. I read a listicle online.

I see.

"Doing small talk at a party? Start with these questions."

Right.

The food one was among them, so� Yeah.

What would you choose, and so on.

-I see. -Yes.

-It didn't turn out great. -No, it didn't.

I will complain via email.

-Are you going to complain? -No, I'm not going to do that.

I�

I don't do that. I'm not one to complain.

Me neither.

-Not much, no. -No.

That makes two of us.

Maybe at a restaurant. I might do it.

If I don't get what I ordered.

When you order something, and then you get�

Let's say you've ordered three dishes, but you only get two.

-Would you pass me the mustard herring? -Yes.

Could you pass the salt?

Dad?

Dad.

Could you pass the salt?

Yeah.

Do you want some?

No, thanks.

-You're a lovely young woman. -Thanks.

I'm sorry.

May I tell you that I think this is difficult?

That I can't relax when I don't know when you're going to drop the bomb?

-I wanted to wait until we were all here. -Yes. We are, and have been for a while.

Okay.

-I'll do it, then. -Thank you.

Dear friends and family.

It's lovely to see you all here together.

Johannes and I wanted to invite you here today,

because who knows when the next time will be.

God, this is difficult. Johannes, I want to thank you.

I want to thank you for what we've done together,

for the house and everything we've built.

Together.

We did it well.

The kids�

They're grown up now.

It feels like only yesterday� I can see you here on the lawn,

learning to walk.

And now you're engaged, Hanne.

Oh, excuse me.

Johannes has an energy that makes you feel safe.

I've enjoyed that feeling for 30 years.

This might come as a bit of a surprise to you all, but�

The thing is that Johannes and I have�

-Jannike? -Are you okay, Mom?

Are you all right?

-Mom? -God, what's�

-Do you need� -Mom?

Jannike?

Come here.

-Hit her back. -Try the back.

I couldn't breathe.

-Oh my God. -Sit down.

Oh, God help me.

That was a close one.

-More water? -Did you get it all out?

Yes, I think so.

-Have some water. -I've eaten a lot of herring.

Yeah. Are you okay?

-Drink some water, Mom. -Sing something.

-Sing? -The danger has passed. Sing something.

-Let's just continue. -Are you in? Okay, we'll�

What the hell. Let's sing a drinking song.

-Here we go. -Oh, God help me.

Let's loosen up and be free, fallera

You decide how this will be, fallera

Let songs be sung and everyone feel young

Let's all decide to be happy, fallera

Good!

-Hi. -Hi.

-Is everything okay? -Yeah.

I just got scared. I couldn't breathe.

-I have to tell you something. -What?

-No, I'll do it later. -Tell me.

-Down there as well. -Everyone has to help.

All right. Come on, now.

Everyone in position? We'll lift it on three. It's heavy, okay?

-One, two, three! -Mind your backs.

Come on!

-Yeah! -Yes!

All right!

-We did it. -Well done.

-Beautiful. -Yeah.

-Now it's time for party games. -Yes!

-What's up, pal? -Huh?

It's time to loosen up a bit. Come on, now.

-Okay, are you ready? -Yes.

-Everyone's in? -Yeah!

-This is a classic at Midsummer. -Yes, all ready?

Johannes, are you in?

-Here we go! -Yes!

The little frogs, the little frogs

Are funny to observe

The little frogs, the little frogs

Are funny to observe

No ears, no ears, no tails do they possess

No ears, no ears, no tails do they possess

Croak, croak, croaky

Croak, croak, croaky

Where we sit and where we stand�

We can all play�

Now it's time for one of my favorites. Let's do "The sleeping bear".

-Johannes, you can be the bear. -No.

-What? Of course you can. -I said no.

-I'll do it. -No, what the hell? Come on, Johannes.

Can you not hear me? No.

Right.

-I can be the bear. -Yes!

-Yeah! Good! -You'll be great.

That's what we'll do.

-Yup. -Here we go.

The bear is asleep, the bear is asleep

In its cozy den

No one will get hurt

As long as we're alert

Then again, then again We're never completely safe

-Are you okay? -Yes.

FOUR WEEKS EARLIER

FROM LUCAS: SEE YOU AT SIX O'CLOCK AT THE HOTEL.

-Wanna split a cab to the central station? -No, go ahead.

Don't you have an airport train to catch?

It's fine. They leave every ten minutes. Have fun. I'll be off very soon.

I'm off now.

Right. Enjoy.

Aren't you going to say goodbye?

What are your plans?

I've told you ten times, dear. A movie, and then a glass of wine.

-You look nice. -Thanks. Have you seen my phone?

-No. -Could you call it?

Yeah.

Who are you meeting?

Nora and Astrid.

-When is your flight? -In two hours. I'll make it.

-So I'll see you� -Tomorrow night.

Good luck!

TO HANNE: I SAW YOU, I KNOW WHAT YOU DID, HOW THE HELL COULD

TO HANNE: I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING�

-What� -Hi.

-Hi, Darius. -Darius?

But�

Did something happen?

-Can I spend the night? -Yes, of course.

-Does Hanne know you're here? -She thinks I'm in Copenhagen.

-Did you have a fight? -Can we talk tomorrow?

Sure. I also have to head to bed.

I need some sleep before work in the morning.

-Yeah. -Yeah.

Good night.

Good night.

Good night.

Something to eat? Tea?

Yes, tea would be nice.

I love her so much.

It hurts so fucking bad.

I should have called her and said that it's not okay.

She can't act like this.

Another man?

Don't know what to do.

Have you talked to her?

No, I didn't know until today.

I don't get it. I thought we were doing well.

What is "well"?

I'm just happy with her. With everything. We breathe as one.

That's beautiful.

Sure, but it's not beautiful right now.

Do you want to fight for it?

It was never my plan to fight.

The plan was to be together and trust each other fully.

Loyalty and mutual respect.

How do you define respect?

We learn that early on, Dad. It's a moral compass.

-A moral compass? -Yes, a moral compass.

Are you morally superior to her

because she is unfaithful

and you are not?

No, I'm not superior to her.

But an active choice that she knows will hurt me,

that's crossing the line.

Reducing morals to clear boundaries is easier than living by them.

The boundaries really are pretty clear.

Obvious.

Obvious?

I'm sorry, Dad.

I don't have your strength.

I know what you have gone through.

I don't get how you can forgive after all that.

Being able to forgive,

when something's unforgivable, and then to move on�

It's not always easy to tell right from wrong.

Yes, she has hurt you.

But she lied, she chose not to tell you.

She did lie.

For fear of losing you?

She should have thought of that earlier.

Yes, that may be.

If this came as such a shock to you,

could it actually be a cry for help from Hanne?

Who knows?

-Hey. -Hey.

-Are you okay? -Yes.

-I haven't laughed like this in ages. -So you're happy?

-Very much so. -Good.

Nothing is dearer to me than you.

You and me�

We�

Us.
