"We can tell you that you have been accepted to Polytechnic Laerskeanstalt. "

Dear God, Father in Heaven.

You must always be there my son Peter Andreas-

- Now when he leaves his childhood home.

Never let him forget about the seriousness of life and the duty to you, you almighty.

Don't let him be tempted of the big city's decay.

And he must never ask for the taxes as mold and rust can consume.

As it is your will, everything will which are bred and born in the dark

- once revealed and get their judgment.

Amen.

I've been through the years saved some money -

- as you were supposed to have the day when you left us.

But now that you have chosen to go your own ways ...

... you won't get them.

But you still have a gift.

This watch I got from my father when I was leaving from home.

You get that in the hope that it to soften your hardened heart

- Open your backward mind.

So that once you turn away from the path of the vanity

- to open your misguided heart against us and the Lord in heaven.

Pity to see a priest I have known for severity become so sentimental.

- You can't reject ... - What can I not reject?

Father's self-righteous piety? Is that the gift of grace I can't reject?

Say sorry for what you said.

- Say sorry for what you said! - Never ever.

Slam.

- Slam. - Beware, Peter Andreas.

- Why doesn't dad strike? - Beware.

Be careful not to stop like that The Lord declared his curse.

When now my father's track is on my future can i tell-

- that I always have in this home felt alien and domestic.

- Peaceless be the one who defies the Lord! - Amen!

Peter! Peter Andreas!

Here ... here is a little to the trip. And remember, my child ...

If you need help so is your older brother in Copenhagen.

Thank you, Mom.

ROOMS FOR RENT

So it looks like that. The rent must be paid the first.

When talking about Darcy's law exists it a crucial context

- in proportionality between water flow in soil

- and the difference in level between two points.

What is this context? Yes.

It is an exponential context between the area and the water supply.

A proportional context. The larger the area, the more water flow.

What are you doing, Mr Sidenius?

I work out a duct system through Jutland connecting the two seas.

It shortens shipping and connects the new cities.

Are you crazy? In the middle of teaching?

How often have I asked you to abstain from your experiments?

There will be branches to marshes that can drain

-just applying Darcy's law.

Listen, sir. When you are as young as ni-

- you should not have any other privilege than the one who wants to learn.

Understood?

Yes.

I wanted to hear if you possibly had some work.

- Just for tonight. - Yeah. Thousand thanks.

- The soup is ready. - Yes thank you.

Ouch!

I'm reading to an engineer. I needed to make some money -

- but unfortunately They just needed me this evening.

You always go around and picking up things?

No, it's for something which I will build.

What did you do before then, if I may ask?

You are curious, huh?

- I was a model. - Really?

- For fashion magazines? - Stop, toker.

I was a model at the art academy.

So ... so there ... naked?

Obviously naked.

- Even for men? - Of course for men.

So you are really crazy. There was nothing but men.

It was fun. Sometimes I teased them-

- and then painted the lips and my eyelashes.

Really?

So if you imagine Venice

- who became one of the world's largest trading cities -

- because you used the water and created an advanced channel system.

So my calculations go on to make Esbjerg a lagoon city.

If you are thinking of small gondolas which deletes through Esbjerg's streets

- with the travelers and their goods and duty free of course.

So, toker. No more engineering stories.

See how he smiles at you.

- Older men are drawn to you. - Can you be quiet now, Nanny?

But he is not the worst partner.

And think of your age, Jakobe. You can't die like a nun.

Besides, he is wealthy. He doesn't take you for the money.

Keep quiet now, Nanny, and right away.

I always enjoyed coming home summer and socializing with the family.

When it got cold I couldn't fast enough to come back to Switzerland.

Allow me to ask, Miss Salomon. How long were you at the girls' school?

Five years exactly. I got girlfriends from all over the world.

Jakobe speaks six different languages ​​and has a degree in literature and history.

Yes.

Mr Ivan, I have been told that you should seek out new talents.

- It is very commendable. - The future lies in the youth.

Our company is on the lookout for investment opportunities.

Why should we be clamped with everyone uninhabited geniuses you go home with?

Mr Solomon, I wonder in all humility-

- if we can switch a few words between four eyes?

Of course, Mr. Eybert. Come, then we go in beside.

I am obliged to tell you the real cause of my visit.

It has ... Yes, how should I put it now?

It has with my heart's condition to do.

Would it be hard to ask for a glass of water or a little more coffee?

Agnes, you are kind and pouring out a little more coffee for Mr. Eybert?

- Yeah. - Thanks.

Where were we now ...? Well, my heart's condition.

Right. Giving Miss Jakobe my dedication.

Mr Eybert, my wife and I have so clearly marked where it goes.

And you are of good Jewish birth and also a friend of the family.

Let me speak out, Eybert.

You have well done your considerations the big age difference between you?

Tell me, don't you moved around enough in the cup?

Right.

I guess you've done your thoughts about my daughter's position in life.

And the testamentary dispositions as I have done about her.

The pecuniary conditions has in no way been decisive.

It's about my heart's ...

You know very well how much I value you

-so basically you have my permission.

But it is ultimately Jakobe himself who determines their future.

I have a small thing I think can interest you. A little book.

No, a Bible. It's from that priest who once confirmed me.

A very significant man, Pastor Sidenius.

- You haven't stolen it? - He has written to me here himself.

"Bend forever to obedience of the strict law of the church. "

- 15 öre. - 15 cents?

I had now thought ... It is well worth it ...

- Watch out. - Yeah?

- Who is that elegant gentleman there? - It's Ivan Salomon.

- Don't you know the Salomon family? - No.

- Can i get the bill? - So glad, Mr Solomon.

Excuse me, sir. Allows you that I take a moment of your time?

My name is Peter Andreas Sidenius. I'm reading to an engineer.

I have heard that you are on the lookout for people with good ideas, geniuses.

I have made a few inventions that I want to introduce to you.

- Do you mind if I put myself down? - No, please.

It is a whole new way to recover energy.

Instead of using expensive coal, utilize the energy of the wind and waves.

Combined with a channel and lock systems revolutionize ...

So, Mr. Salomon.

We are talking about something epoch-making.

It does our country to a modern industrial nation.

I've heard you are the right man to involve in such a project.

- Do you often come here? - No I...

Then we can talk about it another time.

You can excuse me. Unfortunately, I am on my way to a meeting.

You don't think it's true, Lisbeth. But he sat there in the middle of us.

His elegant clothes, his whole ...

He is coming from one of the country's richest families.

- This can be my life's chance. - Sch, Mr. Engineer. Come on.

By the way, Lisbeth, you think that you can borrow me some money?

How can I know if I ever get them back?

You can trust me. You know that.

I have to be able to go back to that café-

- If he should show up again. It is extremely important.

Have you thought about it that if we two hit us together ...

... and found a small place, so would everything be much easier?

Yes, but that's a good idea.

- Do you think you can lend me the money? - Yes, you can get my drinking money.

Lovely. Thanks.

- Merry Christmas. - Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

That's what I could bring home. Guests ate up almost all red cabbage

- But there are lots of pork steaks.

And all the potatoes you can eat. Here you are.

Think, our first Christmas together.

Thanks.

If you think of your family Then I can understand it.

No, no, on the contrary. No, it's that Ivan Salomon.

Sometimes I wish I was rich.

- You are not and never will. - No, but about.

Then I would give all the money for your project.

No, I had completely forgotten that.

- Bowl. - Cheers!

For us two.

Was that all?

Sir Sidenius. There you were, Mr Sidenius.

Come on, beat down.

I've heard me for you at the Polytechnic Laereanstalt. His.

- Are you hungry? - No I have.

- A game of caviar and champagne. - Sure, Mr. Salomon.

Well, Sir. Sit down.

Sit down. Let me hear about your project.

Yes.

... one that you as society needs.

One who rises above the petty and prove that the unique is possible.

I calculate the amounts of water in relation to the land areas.

How to connect the rivers with the lakes via canal routes

- and creates a drainage system to the marshland

and at the same time water ...

Stop, sir. You will come home and have dinner with us.

My father must hear your ingenious ideas. Are we gonna tell you?

- Ivan. - Peter Andreas.

One such project must be presented for senior engineer Bjerregrav.

If he approves it then it will be returned for the Ministry's official consent.

A world commander lives in you, huh?

A real...

A real Lycko-Per.

Forgive me for being late. I was full up with securing the family's future.

- You are drunk. - Can I introduce my sister Nanny?

This is Mr. Sidenius. He is reading to engineer, but is already a genius.

I must say that. A genius. How does it feel to be a genius?

Yes...

Should you just stand there and believe?

Be careful not to freeze and become a lamppost.

Yes, but I live there.

I invited Mr. Siderius for dinner with us on Sunday.

Then we see again, Mr. genius.

Remember to turn your feet around if you are going the other way.

Don't forget to go to the senior engineer! It is absolutely crucial!

Good day. I have a project like that I want to give senior engineer Bjerregrav.

The senior engineer is in a meeting. But if you give me the drawings-

- so I make sure you are contacted as soon as he has looked at them.

Perhaps I had imagined myself that I...

- Yeah. - Thanks.

- He's looking at that pile there? - Yes he does.

Thanks.

So.

And if you only allow that I catch your cuff.

So there. And the same on the other side.

You have probably also wondered the nature of my clothes.

But I come straight from a longer stay in Panama

- where I was responsible for the construction of a large duct system.

Exciting and not completely harmless. There is one for you. Here you are.

Yes. Thanks.

It's not possible.

You know what? I must have misplaced my wallet in the hotel.

I'm sorry. Shouldn't I sound mine driver come here with the money?

He can be here within an hour. Goodbye.

You cannot leave the store without paying first.

You suspect me for wanting to fool you?

Do you know who you are talking to here?

Good day. My name is Peter Andreas Sidenius. I'm invited here.

You are welcome.

- Should I take you hat? - Yeah.

Then this is the way.

You can put yourself here.

Director of Delft. I'm an uncle here in the house.

- My name is Sidenius. - Yes, the young engineer.

My nephew told you about you. "Lucky-Per" he calls you.

The nickname is not so flattering, for what is it that you say?

Happiness is the idiot's guardian.

- Do you mind if I put myself down? - No.

She's pretty close, my niece. Not true, Mr. Sidenius?

I find Miss Salomon beautiful.

Even very beautiful.

She also doesn't belong at home Among the usual, I dare say.

But I assure you. She is attracting also a lot of young men to the house.

What beauty does not do!

In addition, my brother-in-law is Philip Salomon not completely mediocre.

For money, Mr Sidenius, are magnetic.

The small round metal pieces attract the deepest human emotions

- and for the heart's noble movements in today's light. Am I not right?

No, now we go in and greet the family.

Thanks.

There you are. I can entrust you that you are waiting with excitement.

Father? This is Mr. Sidenius, that I have told you about.

- Yes, but welcome. - And this is my mother.

- Welcome. - Thanks.

I have to say you live incredibly beautiful here, Mr. Salomon.

And what a delicious wine.

And the ladies ... Beautiful ladies you are surrounded by.

Cheers, Mr. Salomon.

And thank you for having get into your salons.

This is my oldest sister Jakobe.

- Good day. - Good day.

You may be able to tell a little about it where the project. Father is very curious.

My starting point is that in step with that modern society develops

- then access to energy absolutely crucial.

The key to the supply problem is also the key to the future.

We must make ourselves independent of the expensive coal that ends

- and instead take advantage of the huge ones energies that already exist in nature.

Continue, please.

Take for example the endless rows of waves

- who empties his roaring power along our coasts every day.

Why not use that power so it can serve humanity?

My plan goes on to collect the energy of the waves

- and connect it to giant turbines and broadcast power throughout the country.

The same applies to the wind turbines.

All unused restless wind that just sways across the country.

It can be collected and made for the benefit of the whole society.

Mr Solomon may be imagine the entire city

- with houses and long streets and yard yard and factories.

All illuminated by electric light as we have harvested from the wind and the sea.

And that was also something a new international port city.

- If you imagine ... - Yes, thank you, it's brilliant.

And quite expensive, I can imagine.

How had Mr Sidenius imagined that this project would be realized?

The drawings are for assessment at senior engineer Bjerregrav-

- as dad knows. So now we keep our fingers crossed.

Thanks for tonight.

It is exciting to hear about, but he seems to be a fan.

Maybe he is immature, but it is is nothing wrong with his intelligence.

I was especially impressed of his prophecies about

- that the person on the energy also sits on power and money.

But he is one at all which we want something to do?

Doesn't he seem a bit unpleasant?

What is it called? A wild brain.

He seemed directly uncivilized. Did you see how much he drank?

Upbringing seemed neglected. All bad manners.

- He grew up under poor conditions. - Son of a priest.

It is sad to see how poverty can defraud a person.

He wasn't even good looking, as you described him as.

I think that he is exceptionally good looking.

I think he is absolutely extraordinary.

- Lovely? - Yeah.

So, sir. Then the chief engineer can receive you.

- Is it Mr Ingenier's engineer? - Yeah.

Good God. But you are a young man.

We can always talk about the matter.

Taking into account your wave turbines I find some unreasonable things.

But there are other solutions what relates to wind power that is sensible.

But how did you come up with the idea to do this insane project?

It is a project I have put all my time in the last year.

But actually it's something like me have thought of since I was a child.

Are your detailed plans? I'll look at them.

It was something with your duct system who should i ask you explain a little.

- Speak loudly and clearly. - Yeah.

My project is to build a port and fjord regulation system in Jutland.

Waterways that can make Denmark to a modern industrial country.

My idea is to move shipping from Copenhagen.

A free port here can never become the center of world trade

- because the city's location makes it difficult to access for ships.

Instead, one would build a new port on the west coast

- who could compete with Hamburg and Bremen.

As Mr. Chief Engineer might see, a kind of Northern Venice.

Yes, yes, you are in a happy age. Speaking of that, young man ...

Posture. Straighten the back.

We'll see you in a week.

- Can I leave now? - Excuse me?

What a jubelidiot! The husband of authoritarian enemy.

"The attitude, young man. Straighten your back. "I can prove it.

Clear your nails, pray your table prayer, do not whistle, eat properly.

I am going to be spicy. But he asked me to come back in a week.

It's a half victory. It must be celebrated.

Champagne. And of course caviar.

- Yeah. - We join the family.

Is there anything wrong? It is one of the best restaurants in town.

Yes of course.

That's my sister Jacob's fiance. He is called Eybert.

Especially since the girls' mother died.

Manufacturer and parliamentary candidate. I don't understand what she sees in him.

All watches stop when he enters the room.

But he is a widower and his child speaks to her need for protection.

In return, I understand him.

She is the oldest of my sister and that of the girls who inherit the most.

It felt important for me ...

- Mr Eybert. - Good day. Peter Andreas.

Jakobe.

Miss Salomon, fun to be seen again.

There you can talk about bureaucracy and incompetence.

That's why I started my business

- which is now one of the country's largest

-in the production of waste materials.

We are ready to order.

- Gentlemen, ladies. - We had really thought ...

What do you say to others? Caviar and champagne?

What does the menu say today?

To begin with, trout room with quail eggs on ice.

Then feathered with asparagus

- followed by celery cheese and finally a fruit dessert.

We take the whole registry. Or?

- Do you want to serve the champagne now? - So glad.

Per was at senior engineer Bjerregrav today.

He was most recently approved for the project. Scary busy man.

Father knows him. What did he say? "Speak clearly, straighten your back."

You do it better.

- You are better. - You gotta excuse me.

The tension remains in the body. Last door on right hand.

- Hello. - Great company, huh?

I almost didn't recognize you.

What nice ladies. And the young man must be Ivan.

Yes exactly. Can we pretend that we do not know each other?

- Am I not fine enough? - You, yes. This is important to me.

It is important for my career. So if his family gets to know ...

Yes, this with us.

If you can pretend that you never have seen me before. Do you understand?

In principle, my project goes on to harness nature's own powers.

Without committing robbery on them. Both for the wind and wave machines.

But also the duct system, which comes to be able to connect the parts of the country.

Sir Sidenius, allow me to ask you a question.

- Well, sir, manufacturer. - Of pure and cut curiosity.

You hold on with it an engineering education, huh?

Yes.

How can it be? that a young man like ni-

- who are said to come from a clan which goes back many generations

- choose to go the technological path?

- Maybe you dislike my profession? - It just seems contradictory.

- The science of faith, do you mean? - Right.

Does it have to be so contradictory? When you think of-

- the importance of engineering already had for humanity.

How it has been able to shorten the distances between people using the railroad.

And the telegraph.

Not to mention if one day develops machines that can fly.

Think about how it can equalize the difference between

- And that way become the last step

- against our old dream of brotherly understanding of all the world's peoples.

Is it not something of an overstatement?

I am convinced that it is free mobility breaks down prejudice

- and creates a reborn fair society

- where the individual can live as one freed and independent man.

Yes...

I have never thought of my profession in such a grand fashion

- as you express here.

Do you want more water, Miss Salomon?

Yes please.

Ivan, it must be something for you.

Dr. Engelbrecht has just defended his idea.

For that. Get to know the doctor. I collect them.

Allow me, Miss Salomon.

I wish we had received chance to talk earlier.

You must not misunderstand me, but you is enriching to hear your wise words.

Overall, it is enriching for me to come to this house.

Although I cannot claim to be I do not know a certain form of ...

...inferiority.

I'm a little foreign to the open and free ways in which the family lives.

Or just that ... that way as you are interested

- what's happening in the world. What can make you wiser.

It's so different against the home I came from.

The day started and ended the day by turning from the world.

With prayer and a hymn song.

Can you imagine

- that just being beautiful and well dressed as you are-

- Was it considered something dishonest to God?

When I think of my childhood home that's how it is...

Then it is always associated with shame.

And discomfort.

I value your sincerity, Mr Sidenius.

Yes.

- You are behind with the rent. - The money is on its way.

- A gentleman is waiting for you in the room. - Did he present himself?

He didn't look very nice. Now remember it with the rent.

- Eberhardt? - You're sorry.

But your janitor said that you would soon come home.

- I've been home for a visit. - Yeah.

Father has suddenly become poor. Actually pretty sick.

The doctor suggests that all likelihood is about crayfish.

I thought you should be informed. I speak on behalf of all your siblings.

We figured you out when you got there knowledge of father's situation

- maybe you would feel

- or more accurately feel needs to seek an approach.

What do you mean?

Without interfering with yours affairs, you get ...

You should be serious about not get involved in my affairs.

Yes. I see that it is useless to talk to you.

- As you wish. - It's one thing you need to know.

Even if you probably find it difficult to understand it you must know

- that there is no one as father thinks more than you.

He talks about you every day. They have gave up trying to influence you.

Instead, they now hope for life one day should change your mind

- so you can realize what you owe them.

And repent and reconcile you.

Debt and repentance and sin. Thanks, I can do the whole repertoire.

Tearful to use father's disease to lure me into the dark again.

You want me to submit to me.

You cannot tolerate that I should do well outside your world.

But I do.

So greet the man called my father that I owe him nothing!

He got my childhood! It's enough!

What are you looking at?

You thought you were right, huh?

I can't find that your project has some value.

It's too immature. You are too too young to implement it.

You don't even have one completed his degree.

Your name is Sidenius. You belong maybe the famous priesthood?

What does that have to do with it?

Can the over-engineer inform me about-

-What is the reason for your changed opinion?

Sorry if I gave you false hope.

But I'm sure I will my rejection does you a favor.

The whole project with wave turbines and wind turbines and everything like that

- is simply too naive, for juvenile.

The only opportunity I can see for maybe to be considered is-

- If I personally involves me in it.

Unfortunately, this is the possibility completely excluded.

Well, yes. Then this is the case here for my affair ended.

Thanks for the visit. That is all.

As an old military can you perhaps inform me about-

- how subservient I must be before you acknowledge my project?

Are you crazy? Get into the skull that you got my final rejection.

Now I ask you to leave here.

- You will regret this. - Are you threatening me?

If I had understood which one humped old fool you are-

- I would never have exposed myself for this violation. Goodbye!

Where have you been? What are you eating?

- Sewage water? - The waiter?

Go to Uncle Delft and get a loan.

It's kind of you, Ivan, but it does the same now.

- What are you talking about? - Bjerregrav rejected my project.

You should have heard how he mocked all that I have devoted to life.

You're too young, Per. Your ideas are for radical. You're going abroad.

Father is in contact with an engineering company in Austria which has canal projects.

Professor Pfefferkorn. They like to work with them.

Now hear this. You have to get out of here. You have to leave Denmark.

Away from the middle measure. Away from Bjerregrav. Out in the world, Per.

Get inspiration, get some air wings, see your project fly.

Chin up. Show them who you are. Show them that you are Lycko-Per.

- You promised to visit us in the country. - I can't bear it.

Stop now. That's exactly what you need.

The whole family is there. It will be fun.

Both my sisters are there. Both.

Indeed! It's Mr Sidenius.

- Miss Nanny. - Stop now.

- Miss Jakobe. - Mr. Siderius.

May you greet the young genius welcome to the summer country?

Don't hope the train was too late.

Before the others come, we must Get a little practical case over.

Way you way.

Thank you, Ivan.

As you can see, the transfer takes place the first one every month.

And you are asked to post all expenses.

Of course.

It is important to me that you

- That of course see it as a loan

- against security in the expected the benefit of my invention.

It's been noted.

Is it possible to ask an indiscreet question? I have made the observation

- Mr Sidenius is changing traces of Solomon's daughters.

That it is now my oldest niece Jakobe as Mr Sidenius courteses.

It would be completely unrealistic to make any hopes-

- with a woman with so many benefits.

You pecuniary, do you mean?

- Excuse me? No, of course not. - No no no.

If you just want to acknowledge receipt of the money there.

- Mother? - Yeah?

Can't we accelerate mine and Eybert's engagement?

Well then, if that's what you want. We has always respected Eybert a lot.

In addition, he is of good Jewish birth And Dad knows about his circumstances.

You're sure you love him?

Mr Eybert makes me safe. And so he is so good to talk to.

And I'm worried about his daughters. They need a woman around them.

One could possibly imagine that your friend would join

- to give engineer Bjerregrav an apology?

You, yes, you. We can also pray the tsar of Russia to abdicate.

It cannot be the case such a narrow-minded technocrat

- to decide the future of such a visionary project.

- I agree. - Oh my God.

Seen from an investment perspective and a social point of view-

- I am very impressed of the Young Siderius ideas.

If you can use the natural forces as we have seen as our enemies ...

But my god, Bjerregrav is and remains the bottleneck.

He is the official Denmark technical expert.

Highest and only instance for that order the project for approval.

About Bjerregrav gives rejection ...

If you contacted Bjerregrav, would he look different on it?

Now we take the little calm.

Let Per come to Austria a little. Down to Professor Pfefferkorn.

Let's hear his assessment of Per and the sustainability of the entire project.

It wasn't very polite in the middle of a ...

- You haven't even seen my way. - Haven't I? I regret that.

Say it plainly. Have you lost interest in me?

Is that because you find me childish and silly?

Why should I find is childish and silly?

- I have many others freer. - I am sure of that.

Men from far better standing than yours.

Men with far more realistic plans.

So say it clean. Have you lost interest in me?

Nanny?

Yes that is good! There you go.

What do you want me to do? Why can you Don't just let me be left alone?

I have not thought of anything but you.

Do you not have enough sense to understand that you should stay away from me?

No. You have opened something in me as no one else has done before.

I have to know what you feel about me.

You are beautiful.

You are intelligent. You are rich. And I ... I'm nothing.

I think you overestimate your feelings for me.

But I don't have to explain more. My engagement is already determined.

Where are the kids now?

They stay at home and play cards.

Where's the Nanny? She knows that we are going out and going.

If she is sour, she may be angry.

- Yes please. - Thanks.

Are you moving further in? Well, I'll do it.

Yes, come on.

Yes. Thank you.

I think of the kid Swedish student from Lund-

- Who beat what that he could catch a red deer.

After an hour of hunting he fell. His heart had burst.

Do you really believe in that story? I didn't even think of it as young.

- History sounds very credible. - So you believe in it, Mr Sidenius?

A man with respect for himself can do what he wants to do.

No matter what it costs.

But they are graceful and tasty the deer have four long gallop legs.

It's not just about speed. It is about will and perseverance.

So you think that will defeat the laws of nature?

Sad if you have lost faith on the power of will, manufacturer.

What do you mean by that?

Do not get back the belief in the will power if you see evidence of that?

If so, I'll be happy to do so who does this and now.

Mr. Sidenius! I ask you, put yourself in the cart again.

It's just healthy to stretch a bit on the legs.

Think of what it would do for Denmark-

- for a parliamentarian got back the belief in the power of will.

I can't allow that you are running next door.

Then I have to run in advance.

Do you see, manufacturers? I kept my word.

Tell me, was that a bet?

I just got a little dizzy and I had didn't have to run so fast.

Miss Jakobe? Your flowers.

Your flowers.

You love me. Is not it true?

You want to be mine. Is not it true?

You want to be mine. Is not it true? You love me.

Is not it true? You love me. You want to be mine. Is not it true?

You want to be mine.

Is not it true?

Yes.

Yes.

When the pond stands clear-

- we can avoid flooding further down the valley.

And with the power plant we can supply the whole area with electricity.

It opens up completely new opportunities for everyone who lives in this part of the country.

Good day, my dear friend.

Hope you are doing well in Austria-

- and that Professor Pfefferkorn take care of you.

The time was so short before traveling.

But even though the days flew away so love demanded its right.

Every moment together remember me as the happiest in my life.

My dear Per. Now it's too long ago I heard from you.

Just one small greeting would make me so happy.

But you clearly have a lot to do I can imagine.

I was expecting letters from you all day yesterday.

Was in a bad mood, went to bed at ten

- and hated you with all my heart at eleven o'clock.

My sweetest friend. Can not you let the engineering rest a little

- Jump on a train and come home

- And give me a kiss? Just one little kiss.

It would feel so nice.

By the way, have you thought about that never said you love me?

I just wanted to hear how it sounds-

- when my girlfriend says that he loves me.

But you can practice until we are seen.

Then we can say that in mutual confession.

What about Jakobe? Did you see her at the table?

That poor man. She's jealous because she was not first.

She's furious because she can't dance bridal whale with her Per today.

Tell me, dear sister, was that why as it should go so fast?

- What do you mean? - That you wanted to be the first.

That you have never forgiven that you were ratified.

- That you simply carry grudges. - You are drunk!

Now concentrate on the dance. You step on my bridal shoes.

- All well, my child? - Yes, thank you, Mom.

- Do you miss him? - Yes, of course I miss him.

Especially tonight.

It's something with him.

- What? - Yes, I don't know ...

It's something in that hidden rootless in his being

- which we do not understand.

And we don't even have met his family.

Do you know if they are at all know your connection?

Per said he before departure met his brother on the street

- And then he said that we had engaged.

Don't get upset, we're not right to put us in, but are you sure?

- Sure what? - That you and Per fit well together.

About the whole connection is not unnatural?

About your statuses here in life After all, is too different?

If his Christian background is in contrast to our Jewish faith?

And so his whole implacable hatred against his family. Don't you ...

I've made a choice, Mother. I love him.

Yes. Yes, yes, we just wanted to be Make sure you were completely convinced.

Good day. Where do I find inspection secretary Sidenius?

- A staircase, the fourth door to the right. - Thanks so much.

- You can see it on them. - Yeah, a real Jewish boy.

Yes, come in.

Good day. My name is Jakobe Salomon.

I know your brother have told you about me.

The reason I visit you is trying to agree.

I know your brother Per, my future betrothed

- has long felt strange for their family.

Is what you have wanted this conversation about my brother?

Yes.

So my brother may not know that you visit me?

- No. - I understand.

Unfortunately, it's just too true that my brother ever since he was a child

- has divorced from his home.

That he systematically has hardened itself.

Yes, felt a sad joy by defying every consideration.

Even to those he owes gratitude and honor.

Not even now that our father is lying he wants to open his heart.

His breakout attempts are stretching even to the baptismal name.

- I hear you call him Per. - Yeah.

I will not hide my opinion.

I'm starting from here that you are seeking an open statement.

Namely that too his engagement with you

- is a premeditated uprising against the home.

Peter Andreas came from a Christian home.

He knows from his parents that Christianity determines everything-

-and that they do not recognize happily

- when it does not have its foundation in Christian piety.

Would it have any significance for you-

- I can tell you so that it cannot be misunderstood

- that his parents do not approve this his connection with you.

I came here hoping to initiate reconciliation.

It was, I understand now, very naive of me.

But I still regret not that I came.

Excuse. Has it come to me?

No, unfortunately, Mr Sidenius. Not today either.

Thanks.

A coward, dear wife.

Yes, this is where he lives.

Sir Sidenius. Telegrams have come to you.

Thanks.

Is that something serious?

It's from my brother.

My father died tonight.

I am really sorry, Mr Sidenius.

You can go home right away.

No thanks.

As you like. If I can do something for you ...

- A lady wants to talk to you. - It must be a misunderstanding.

A foreigner. She has certainly brought the train.

By train?

Good evening.

How...?

- Were you scared? - Come in.

Then you missed me anyway.

Now I'm with you.

Oh, Per, my friend. A thousand times my friend.

Why didn't you write? I could have arranged a cart.

I was just so insecure if I were to travel.

But then I felt that I must visit you.

I couldn't say anything to mother and father.

Then I came to say I was going visit my friend Rebekah in Breslau.

- But now you stay here? - In two there, yes.

You must be starving. Do you want something to eat?

Uncle Delft said he had read your father's death ad in the newspaper.

I'm so sorry, Per. Was it difficult for you?

No. It was a liberation not to feel anything.

A kind of acquittal.

Imagine if you had come reconciled with your father.

If you made the deal with him. Maybe everything had been different then.

You and I should be open against each other.

- We should have familiarity with everything. - Yeah.

But I have something to confess, Per. Now you can't get angry with me.

But I was up in your room in Copenhagen before I left.

I missed you so. I had to to have something around me.

And then I wrote a letter to you, but I never sent it.

I've brought it along.

"Dear Per."

"My good friend. I can cry out joy of shame I now feel. "

"Over concerns and doubts that I have had for you. "

"Only now do I understand what you are for a human being. "

"What you are made of, what have made you who you are. "

"Your greatness is your contradiction."

"It has grown under pressure from pettiness and superstition. "

"It excuses your infirmity" -

- "but also explains your huge strength. "

"Your disrespect, your self-directed force. "

"Now I finally understand the importance of social justice. "

"Through my slow understanding by you and your background "-

- "I have gained clarity about it dark and reluctant feeling- "

"of affinity with the hungry, the poor, for light and air "-

- "and those for dignity fighting people. "

"The people of the future."

Thanks.

This is life, Jakobe. A life of freedom.

I cannot understand that you have just went here to meet me.

I like to travel around the world for three laps to be with you for a minute.

Maybe we should say that now.

Yes. Say what?

I ...

- I love you. - I love you.

Get out of here. I had not seen it at all.

What does that matter up here? Come on, we're moving.

No, we are sitting with his back on him. Look at the beautiful view instead.

- Do you hear it? - What?

Don't you hear that? The church bells.

We can't be left somewhere. It's like it's stalking me.

Look at the pale man there. How he demonstrates his audacity.

See his humble humility and how he exposes his patience.

- I hate it! - Stop now.

When has anyone dared spit his disgust in your face?

Stop. Stop now. Per, what does it take for you?

Stop now.

Stop.

Per, stop now. Stop. Look at me.

Stop. Stop now.

- Yes, but ... - Look at me. Stop.

Sometimes I feel as the rocket

- who crawled out of their cave to be with the people.

And then it discovered that the light was too sharp.

It didn't tolerate the sun's rays, so it crawled back down into the cave.

Back to the dark.

Sleeping. It has been an overwhelming day for both of us.

- Are you happy to be with us? - Indescribably happy.

Here I have learned more than at all my time at Polytechnic Laereanstalt.

That's good to hear.

I have studied your project.

There are some details as one can discuss.

For example, machine clothing and retaining walls.

And the draft fjord regulation with parallel works.

Yes, of course, Mr. Professor.

But overall, Mr Sidenius ...

... I'm very impressed.

You have a living understanding of the forces of nature-

-and how to use them.

Thank you, Professor. If you knew what that means to me ...

I hope that Denmark understands to value your colossal talent.

Thanks.

Thanks. Thanks so much.

Dear, dear friends and honored guests.

It is a very special and about the day for me and my wife

- when we have the great joy to be able to eclipse the engagement

- between our oldest daughter, Jakobe and Per Sidenius.

Obviously I want to say a few words to the newly engaged

- who has given her today first official yes to each other.

I think I start with you, Per, my future son-in-law.

You're probably the most stubborn person that I have ever met.

For better or worse.

But mostly for good.

When I think about how stubborn and persistently you have been stuck

- that Jakobe for everything in the world would be yours

- and how unwavering you have fought for your national project.

You were on a study trip in Austria at Professor Pfefferkorn-

- and he has blue-stamped Pers's thoughts and ideas such as being brilliant.

What do you say now?

I want to tell you in connection with that that we have gathered a consortium-

- of money-rich stakeholders for to be able to carry out your project.

It looks as if the project

- based on a financing point of view is feasible.

Lucky-Per. I think that the future lies for your feet.

- Good afternoon. Or good evening. - The nasty man was here again.

He left a letter to you.

- I can only bid on water. - No thanks.

But I don't understand ... How long has Mother been in Copenhagen?

When your father died I would leave the vicarage.

I had nowhere else to take the road-

- And so I wanted to be near Eberhardt.

What nicely dressed you are.

And you have also received world manners.

I understand your brother that you have found a rich family

- Who pays for your living.

Eberhardt and I agreed to spare your father before he died -

- for the grief to get knowledge about your Jewish rich man's daughter.

"Lycko-Per" is called you.

What are the ways?

What did Mother talk to me about?

You didn't come at your father's funeral.

But you should know that he entered into the last hoped-

- that you would find back to the paths of humility.

He wanted me after his death would give you this.

That's why I asked Eberhardt to find you.

The watch meant a lot for your father.

And I'll tell you

- why he entered the last insisted that you have it.

When your father was young and would go to Latin school

- demanded his father to get the key to his suitcase

- so he could see what he took with him.

It was your father very offended and he traveled without saying goodbye.

When he arrived in the evening to school he opened his suitcase

- and found the clock as you hold your hand.

Then he understood that it was a gift.

That it would be a surprise.

Your father cried violently and in repentance he went through the night

- all the way back and fell over his father's neck and asked for forgiveness.

It was that night when he humiliated himself

- as he found his way home to the light and peace-

and God the Father in heaven.

Never forget what your father said.

"Peaceless be it who defies the Lord. "

Now I think that I should ask for the water.

There is a small kitchen out there.

- And you are absolutely sure? - Yes, no doubt. You are pregnant.

- Are you ready soon? - Yes, two minutes.

Here. Loving greeting from Jakobe with a wish for a good meeting.

I have been waiting for this since I was a kid, Ivan.

- How many of your father's friends come? - Seven, eight.

- What the hell is that thing for? - The ride came with it yesterday.

I made it in Austria. Is it alike?

On the dot.

People walk around without knowing that Soon Denmark's history will be written.

That is the basis of the new one the national authority which is laid here.

- It is big. - Quarter to ten! Come on, hurry up now!

So if Denmark should hang together

- If the province is to become a part of the modern society-

- then we have to deal with the idea about the blessings of the pork and butter-

- and instead do the farming community to a part of the whole nation.

Therefore, as I said initially, my channel project

- combined with wind and wave power of crucial importance.

I promise you, gentlemen. Your investments are not lost.

On the contrary. When Denmark becomes self-sufficient with energy

- then the money goes in.

So thank you for taking your time

- to listen to the plans for Denmark's new national power plant.

Consortium here that consists of private investors independent of each other

- has made some calculations and we have arrived

- that it looks like the project even financially feasible.

Of course, provided by the authorities.

Mr Sidenius has been in contact with the top representative of society

- and the meeting ended by personal causes quite unfortunate.

We have been in contact after that with

- and when he comes in right away through the door there

- Then we ask Mr Sidenius to give him-

- the unreserved excuse as he expects.

Do you want to, Isaac?

Here you are.

Gentlemen...

You mean seriously that I should give an apology?

But for what?

For what? You know I can't Accept any form of pardon.

I have prepared my project without any form of interference.

Nor can I allow it in the future.

I suppose you understand that without the chief engineer Bjerregravs promise

-so can the project not be implemented?

It's the senior engineer who has insulted me.

He has mocked my work.

Then he is, too who should give me an apology?

Should I perceive it so that you refuse to give that excuse?

Yes. It carries me deeply in the face having to give an excuse

- to an old, power-mad tyrant. A visionless protocol ranger.

I'm sorry.

And that's your final decision?

Absolutely.

Yes, but then, gentlemen, so we are ready for today.

The consortium must be considered as being dissolved.

I suppose that none of the men

- have no complaints in connection with the outcome of the meeting.

imagine having to give an excuse

- to such a madman irreconcilable man.

- Who was that irreconcilable? - Now you start.

If it had saved your project, had the excuse meant so much?

Yes, in my world. I must say that your attitude surprises me.

If you want the goal you have to mediate.

It confirms to me the rotten clutch

-between the money world and those in power.

And it's something like you apparently joining you.

What do you mean?

If I will follow the rule of life as you make yourself spokesman for-

- I'm afraid we two have talked for the last time.

What are you saying?

You have innate characteristics for to value the character traits.

That last thing I didn't hear.

I can only state that the outcome The meeting was a major disappointment.

I can't possibly be fucked of a tyrant in such an important job.

Let me appeal to you, Per-

- that you will be in the role in the future as you play here my family

- Performs with the required elegance and with decency.

Do I express myself clearly enough, Per?

Yes.

Jakobe?

- Have you heard? - Heard what?

Come on, Per. Come and sit here next to me.

Is your mother named Kristine Margrethe?

Yes. Why are you asking that?

She's dead, Per.

- What are you talking about? - I saw an ad in the morning paper.

I bounced so clearly to over name. A priestess in town.

"Our dear mother Kristine Margrethe Sidenius "-

- "Included today in the eternal peace." Signed by her child.

- Did you know your mother was dying? - I knew she was a mess.

But not that she was so sick.

Think about the life she has lived.

With so many children and with one awkward man who you have told.

All poverty. And yet she never complained.

I remember you once said that she said:

"Don't worry about me."

"Have pity on my husband and my children. "

What is gone is gone.

Let's talk about something else. Let's talk about you.

Shouldn't we go out and travel, Per?

Snan.

To England. Just you and me.

On a kind of engagement trip.

Then we can live and breathe in our love

- and in peace and quiet plan our wedding.

And I have a great news like me longing to tell you.

Join the summer house, Per. The guest room is waiting for you.

Mother and father appreciate if we tell you about your mother's death.

We owe it to them. Now that we are almost related.

I'm not guilty of them something more than money.

That was not what I was talking about. They never mentioned that money.

I've been thinking about it.

I want to be debt free and make me independent.

Not of you, of course, but by your family's means.

The money doesn't have to be some problem for you.

I don't want to be in debt to your family more.

Good day. I'm looking for expedition secretary Sidenius.

- A staircase, the fourth door to the right. - Thanks.

Yes, come in.

- I read that mother is dead. - Yeah.

- I thought you were abroad. - How did she die?

Signe was with her mother in the morning to comb her hair.

Mom then asks a little impatiently Signe to hurry.

Then the mother closed her eyes and fell asleep quietly.

She wrote a farewell letter to all siblings.

There is one for you too.

With a small sealed package.

She will of course be buried alongside father at home in Jutland.

Mother's body sailed by boat from here tomorrow afternoon.

First, we hold a small solemnity in the home with the family around the coffin.

It would clearly hurt us if we miss you there and then.

I think for various reasons is best that I stay away.

My fiancee would probably appreciate it To be with-

- but she probably wouldn't fit in or be welcome.

No, you're right.

Peter Andreas?

Due to professional obligations can I did not follow Mother on the last trip.

Can you get over it? your own conflicting emotions

- and show mother the last respect by following the coffin over the sea?

I think you know my answer.

To my son Peter Andreas in our Lord's blessed name.

This I write to you-

- for one last time before my eyes closed

-Try to speak to your heart.

You are not walking in the ways of God, but I sincerely hope-

- that you should show in your life humility and disinterested love-

- Against your fellow human beings.

- Can I get pen and paper? - Man.

You have come from earth.

To earth you shall become.

And from the earth you shall rise again.

What a surprise.

I needed some air after mine mother's funeral. Little breathing space.

Then I found no more beautiful place than here in the neighboring sock.

How long do you stay here?

Just a couple there. The duties call, as you say.

- I just came to thank the pastor. - It's nothing to thank for.

Your mother was known to be one unassuming and dutiful person.

- That's how you remember her. - I didn't know your parents.

I encountered them a few times. After all, we were neighbors.

Pastor Sidenius and my opinion if the church's task was very different.

But I respect him in the grave. He was a zealous worker.

How is it to be back in the neighborhood then?

It is with mixed feelings. I almost fled that time.

But to look at nature makes an impression. It is mildly overwhelming.

There is a lot of life lessons to get in nature.

We read in the newspaper about your engagement in Copenhagen.

Siderius is not a common name.

Your future father-in-law will be an extremely rich and profiled man.

Nine toxins are a fortune.

Not so stupid to avoid the duty of supply, huh?

The money has never been decisive.

As a finished engineer, I earn more even enough to support a family.

Tell me ... A wedding like that, of pure professional curiosity ...

Pure church, a Jewish woman and a priest's son ...

No, John, now you go too far. Ask out our guest there ...!

Don't you want to taste a little homemade? It is Inger who has been diligent.

You should not hold back. You don't have to be shy.

- Take what you need. - Yes, but then ...

Thanks.

Jakobe, you have some idea about it when Per comes home from Jutland?

He sent a short telegram and then he was gone.

- You don't know when we meet him? - When the funeral is over, I guess.

I have some legal things like I want to be in place before the wedding.

- Of course, Dad. - It is good.

I enjoy to be away from the big city.

Life can be quite complicated, can I tell you, and exhausting.

But here, on the other hand ... Have you by the way ever been to Copenhagen?

No never. But I would like to see a big city.

And see such nice people as you know.

- Should I keep the gloves? - Thanks.

Your fiancee is certainly not just very rich, but also very beautiful.

- Excuse me. I scared you. - Are you back?

I had some practical things.

And then I discovered that your gloves were in my pocket.

- That's right. - Thanks. I was looking for them everywhere.

- Do you want to go for a swing? - Well ...

... locks should give enough water depth

- to sea-going vessels should go all the way ...

- I'm pulling you out. - No not at all.

- You suddenly seem so serious. - Do I?

Hope it's not because of is a fiancee and you miss her.

No not at all. The... It's more to be back here.

Away from it all. It gives me some kind of nostalgia. A kind of happiness.

- Are you not happy in Copenhagen? - Yeah.

That's more of it which I sought.

I have really strived, I can trust you.

It has gone and become my accident.

Yes, but ... I have to make sure to come back.

Sleepless?

Good morning, the pastor. Yes, unfortunately.

- Is it the body or the soul? - It's the soul.

- Foreclosed, trapped? - Both parts, I'm afraid.

Come on, Sir. We go a turn. Tell.

Most of all I probably feel confined.

I can not sleep. I have so many thoughts.

I'm confused. I'm tense.

Am I on the path of trial? Is it the punishment that comes now?

My life penalty.

Is it God's judgment over life I live?

Is that why I can't find peace?

Or is it homesick?

Or do Father's curse me so rootless?

Mr Sidenius, do not destroy yourself with destructive thoughts.

You are your enemy and prison guards. Step out of your prison.

- Do not be afraid. God is with you. - Please bless me.

Sorry that I have betrayed mother and father.

And I have let Ivan down and I have betrayed Jakobe.

I don't want to hurt people any more.

- Get up, Mr Sidenius. - I deserve the punishment.

Claimlessness is the price of heaven to give the soul peace.

You have taken the first step the path of acknowledgment and humility.

Stay a little here when I have gone. Cry if you feel it is needed.

Now I leave you.

Mr. Sidenius, are you?

Father and mother are out visiting, but I will be waiting for them soon.

Do you want a cup of coffee for so long?

No...

But you are engaged.

Don't you understand?

Say you want to be mine.

What a pleasure it is to have you back. You have no idea how I missed it.

I tried to get mother and father to go home early from the summer house.

I wanted to be in town when you arrived. But Dad loves to get away from town.

- Can't you go out tonight? - Yes please.

In there, my wedding dress is sewn.

Yes, you can't know more. It becomes very simple and elegant.

I've picked up the tickets to England. Here.

First we take the train to Esbjerg and then the boat to Harwich.

And that's just you and me on our engagement trip, Per.

I can not wait. Don't you?

Are you not too excited to hear the big news I'm going to tell?

You seem so serious.

It's your mother's funeral that you think of?

Yes of course. Men, Jakobe ... It's something we need to talk about.

If it is the wedding, insist father that you hear from you soon.

He wants to see you and the lawyer to go through the legal.

Thanks.

No, it's more serious than that.

Listen...

You are the most perfect man that I have ever met.

You have meant so much to me. No one has meant as much as you.

But now we are facing a big choice.

The biggest decision. And then is it that I recently ...

Lately I have been thinking about ...

... if we really belong to each other.

And if we ever have belonged to each other.

If not everything from the beginning has been an idea from my side.

- From your side? - Yeah.

If it hasn't been a big one mistakes because I insisted so.

Then it's me here lately have thought to ...

... that we are probably too different.

And that we ... might never be happy together.

- Eventually. - And you don't think so?

I doubt.

Yes. That's why it's probably the best

-We'll finish this.

Also before anyone bigger harm is done.

So you look up the engagement?

I'm sorry, Jakobe. I am really sorry.

How ... how can you talk about ...

How can you talk about our relationship as something-

- that only existed because you wanted it?

Like I never loved you?

Don't understand at all that I almost went under

-of love and longing for you?

Maybe you don't know what that means to love another person.

Maybe because you just know the negative side of the passion.

Self-centeredness and conceit.

Yes, but there you see yourself. We are too different.

Not true?

Why can't you say plainly as it is?

I'll ask you in the last to be honest.

Have you met another?

You say it yourself. That we are too different.

You should tell the truth, Per.

Then I would have had respect for you You just now could be honest with me.

So recognize now that you are in love with another.

Wondering what they are talking about. She doesn't look happy.

Well, it is the silversian draw.

That your innermost, shrunken feelings must be so solemn.

God preserved.

They just hide your own vanity.

Your immaturity.

I understand your anger, Jakobe.

I really understand it and I'm sorry-

- that it must stop like this. That's me.

Now I at least escape to carry your barbaric surname.

You may be able to notify your father that I obviously intend to pay-

- back every penny and penny of the loan he has given me.

With interest on interest so clear.

Anna? Returns these letters to Mr. Sidenius address?

Yes please, Miss Salomon.

Make sure this ad taken in Berlingske Tidende?

"Philip Salomon and his wife announces that their daughter Jakobes "...

... "Engagement with Engineer P.A. The siderius is repealed. "

- Is that a joke? - No Unfortunately not.

- Why haven't I heard anything? - We were never so excited ...

But his project then? And our investment then?

He has signed an agreement with clear terms for repayment.

As security for the loan-

- I want to offer the patents for my wind and wave machines.

I prefer to see, if possible, that the loan is paid out as soon as it goes.

I will not comment on the value of your machines

- But it affects the situation that it has become known to me-

- that your engagement with Miss Salomon has been lifted.

As a superior business principle we never let ourselves in anything

- where there is not what we call banking security.

So unfortunately I am not wealthy to accommodate your request.

Mother?

Yes, my girl?

Do you remember that I wanted to visit my friend Rebekah in Breslau again?

- Yeah? - I want to take it seriously now.

But I don't have the money for the trip. Can't ask Father for some help?

- When do you want to travel? - As soon as possible.

Maybe already tomorrow.

Therefore, you have been so difficult to arrive late.

Have I? Then I apologize.

Does anyone know about it? Neither your sister nor Ivan?

The only one who knows it is Rebekah.

- She is in contact with a good doctor. - You shouldn't worry about father with it.

I get money for the trip and the cost of the procedure.

Then you see to rest properly afterwards.

Asking someone we say you needed travel after the break with Per.

How are you thinking about it? to implement the project now?

Without Salomon? Without the stock exchange, the men of the banking world and industry?

And Bjerregrav then? You are from the mind, man.

- How about a small loan then? - What would it be used for?

I am in debt to Salomon and have an impending wedding in Jutland.

I'm not gonna have anything with some loan to do.

I couldn't understand you is no longer Solomon's son-in-law.

How can an ambitious man like you forgo such great opportunities?

I still can't understand it.

Jakobe?

Jakobe?

First I want to give you the excuse-

- which I did not give you then, Mr. Chief Engineer. Sorry.

The thing is that I am in financial difficulties.

And now I appeal to the senior engineer's understanding.

So you may be able to take it again up my project to consideration.

Feel free to under your guidance for that present it to rich stakeholders

- who might be able to give me a small advance.

I'm afraid it's too late, Mr Sidenius. Thanks for the visit.

You may remember me from when I am was poor. As times change!

The thing is, I'm going to get married with a rich baroness from Jutland.

Then I have to leave town and can equal happy to get rid of all things.

If you know ... The costumes are of finest Italian wool.

I give them three crowns.

The bust can be included. It is made of...

It is impossible to sell. And the books are in German.

No one wants to buy German books.

- The drawings here are clearly included. - I can't sell used paper.

No. And the way to God is the path of trial.

- I don't know what you're doing. - Do you realize who you are talking to?

I'll tell you.

A son of God, a genius!

And what is bred and born in the dark should be revealed and get their judgment.

Keep your wretched mammon, but beware

- so he doesn't shed their curse over you!

Isn't the young engineer Siderius?

It was a long time ago. Is there anything I can do for you?

Maybe you could ask Jakobe to get down the street.

She's out of town.

For a long time, I'm afraid.

But how in the world do you look, man?

Do you remember our first call?

Happiness is the idiot's guardian and the tour is the father of sorrow. Well ...

Pride goes before a fall.

Go to mother.

Lise?

- It looks good. - Hagbart?

So there. No.

Stand properly. Straighten you. Straighten you.

Fine. The nails, you.

Yes. Second hand.

- Good. And then you straighten your back. - Yes, Dad.

With the arms.

Let us as the apostles wish each other-

- that the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, The love of God our Father

- and the Holy Spirit community is and remain with us all. Amen.

- Good day, Jakobe. - Eyben.

- It was a long time ago. - Yes indeed.

- You've been away. - Yes, we have opened offices in Germany.

So the girls speak fluent German. They greet.

Good to hear. You will be greeted back so well.

You apologize if I press on.

But you should know that I have added all the disappointments behind me.

Time heals all wounds, as they say. I have forgiven everything.

If you don't get upset then I want to Now ask when everything is different -

- if you want, when it suits you so clearly and before traveling

- that we went to patisserie together?

Or went out for dinner, You and I.

Dear Eybert.

You have always been so good, caring and considerate to me.

Can't we try again, Jakobe?

You had probably also become the tenderest man I could get.

But we should never be happy together. Because I don't love you.

It was a damn tricky thing.

First, Per ... How's it going with your future project?

I now put the last hand at one project on a new port in Esbjerg-

- who will be the center, a hub for European shipping

-with dolls and yards and packing houses.

How are you thinking? that it would be realized?

Now the authorities are impossible to persuade ...

I understand. And otherwise then?

When you're not on with your vision of the future.

I help here at home. Otherwise I deepen myself in my thoughts.

Now it is in this way, Per-

- that a small home that is with you Three children cost money. Not true?

Bills that must be paid which is not paid.

I say so because I didn't can afford to continue to support you.

I came to find a solution. You obviously have financial problems.

I abstain any kind of interference from your side.

I'll ask to be spared from that tone.

I came here to find a solution on your duty to support.

Listen, Per. I encountered the young landlord Briick yesterday.

He had heard about your engineering expertise.

He is rocky and must do something about the deregulation in his estate

- so I suggested that he should contact.

- Welcome, sir. - Thanks.

My wife Inger. But you know each other.

Well, late childhood.

- Welcome, Inger. - Thanks. Great to be back here.

- Shall we go? - Gladly. If you want to take this.

A simple drainage system is perhaps too small a task

- for an engineer of your format, Mr Sidenius?

No, I really like to help locally.

- Do you see opportunities, Mr Sidenius? - Yes, yes, absolutely.

With a couple of changes can you lower the groundwater

- so the big meadows can become arable land.

It requires heavy pumps. But they can be driven by wind turbines.

Medium wind turbines. One per pump station is enough.

I had completely forgotten that the meadow here goes right down to the lake.

Had you had anything against it that one day I bring the kids here?

No. Of course.

They can swim and fish as much as they want.

The rowing boat is for that.

Good day.

Have you been here all day?

Are you cold?

What nice braids you have. Have you braided yourself?

Here you are. Enjoy your meal.

- Can I help you? - Yes, you can give the children bread.

- That's right. - Enjoy your meal.

Here you are.

Here you are.

- Excuse me, but who are you? - I just came by.

- My name is Jakobe Salomon. - Do you know where you are?

- No, actually not. - This is KFUK.

Then you may understand why we do not can allow people with your faith here.

With my faith?

KFUK is a Christian association. Frikyrklig.

I understand that. Regrets.

These control the wind direction so it turns toward the wind.

When the wind is blowing then the wings spin like that.

And it then creates electricity Who can create power, right?

Can you understand that? Right there, right? No!

Hagbart, now you've destroyed it! Look! See you for what you do!

Stop being so clumsy! And then you say sorry to father.

So you say sorry to father!

Hagbart, say sorry to dad now.

Hagbart! Then you come back and say sorry to father now!

- Do they sleep little? - Yes, Ingeborg and Lise as logs.

Hagbart complains about a little stomach pain.

He sleeps well soon.

Can't you stop to talk so hard to him?

He is a sensitive little boy.

Yes.

He's a little, wise boy who lacks his father.

- Are you coming to bed? - No, I read the paper clearly.

- Goodnight My friend. - Good night.

I know I disappointed you by not getting men and children.

But instead I should as our tradition invites

- help the weak who are in need.

Therefore, I have decided to start a poor school here in Copenhagen.

I know it costs me the whole thing fortune that is intended for me.

When I have no heir

- I can't think of anything more meaningful way to use it.

- Miss Salomon? Then we are ready. - Then you can come here to me.

And the little ones at the front.

We'll do a little bit of that. Then we move as a small train.

Then we are ready. Look at the handsome gentleman.

Look into the box when down at the front. Do you see it? Stand completely still.

One potato, two potatoes, three potatoes. It was great!

Children never meet their parents, because they work all day.

When the existing schools mostly of all reminiscent of criminal institutions

- or when the children do something stupid and brutally treated by the police

- who sends them to the poor house.

Or when the priest could give them a good word on the road-

-just talking about doomsday and hell-

- how can these children be able to develop compassion

-and becoming decent people?

The school must be brought back to its school origin as an alternative school.

As an asylum, a sanctuary.

I have seen a bad upbringing can defraud a person.

The most important thing was to create a place who could break the social heritage.

Come on in, Hagbart.

Mom said I would say good night.

Yes. Come in.

I've done this for me cracked the other windmill.

Thank you, my boy.

You're not afraid of father, huh?

We two will probably get along well.

Should I Go?

Why?

You seem as if you'd rather be left alone.

I understand you are having a hard time, but can't you talk to dad?

Maybe he can help you with that to seek comfort from God.

How much I looked for him so i just found myself.

For the one who has found himself God is superfluous.

What's the matter with you, Per?

There are people drawn against the accident.

Like only in hopelessness and loneliness can experience liberation.

What are you saying, Per?

Sometimes I think it would be best for you if I wasn't here.

You have to promise me not to sink with me, Inger.

Per...

- We have the birthday child there. - You look nice.

- Have that honor, Hagbart. - A package from me.

- Then you bow and thank you. - Thanks.

Good day.

- Congratulations, Hagbart. - Congratulations. - Then you bow and say thank you.

- Thanks for the invitation. - It was fun that you could come.

Come on in, everyone.

- There is no bottom in that boy. - The weather is fine.

It's a nice birthday party.

- Now comes the apple cake! - Please and congratulations, Hagbart.

- It looks tasty. - Can you take it yourself?

Maybe Brijck can help you.

I've been in the boat in the lake. Do you want to get over, Hagbart?

It sounds nice, huh? Dad, should you have some coffee?

- Send down the plates, so ... - Is it good?

- I also want some. - Cheers, my boy, and congratulations.

And a thousand thanks, everyone. Thanks for the presents.

The birthday child must have been nice as nice as the weather is.

He has. He has been exemplary.

Inger, I have to go for a moment.

I forgot to tell the lock people that they should ...

Does it have to be done right now?

- Can't wait a bit? - I'm quickly back.

Is that enough now?

PARISH PRIEST J P SIDENIUS

The Jewish rich man's daughter Jakobe Salomon opens poor school.

S-O becomes "so".

S-Ö becomes "sow".

Miss Salomon? I have a letter to you personally.

Thank you.

- Then you came anyway. - How long ago it is.

So this is how you live. Here in the middle of the wilderness.

I have ... felt ...

...foreign and rootless my whole life.

But out there ...

I finally got there myself, fully aware.

In my godless loneliness.

Without it, Jakobe, I had been a half-finished man.

I had been a sidenius all days.

So now I feel liberated.

I've followed your life. I heard that you were sick, but not serious.

It's crayfish. The doctor doesn't given me so long to live.

I've put on coffee. Do you want coffee?

But tell us a little about Copenhagen.

We've talked a lot about you, Per.

In spite of all the noise that time-

- Father and Ivan agree that you did the right thing.

I'm sure

- that the world one day realizes the greatness and the necessity of your great work.

It was also one of the things as I wanted to ask, Jakobe.

About my project, about my model could be standing at your school?

- As inspiration for the children. - Yes of course.

Of course it should stand there.

The real reason why I wrote and asked you to come where ...

I wanted to give you this.

My will, where I have done your school to universal heritage.

You can see this. It is SEK 12600.

No big sum, but that's it which I have been able to save.

And so I wanted to hear about ...

...if you think that you can receive the gift.

Why should I not be able to receive it?

Although we two were very different ...

... I'm not sure I will Ever completely understood your nature.

So I'm even more grateful for the gift.

Did I hurt you much?

I hadn't wanted to do that Something different in my life, Per.

On the contrary, I feel it as one great luck that I got to know you.

Both through that joy and sorrow that you caused

- Got my life right.

The school that I have built up

- is not just as much your work as it is mine.

It has somehow become our common child.

Thanks.
