It was a good tree.

It flows well here.

Oh, that was good! This is a good tree!

OK, I'm ready now.

- Mom, I found a little poo! -Oh?

This is my place! Here there are lots of big...

Give the tree a treat, then, Falk! Should the tree get a treat?

-Okay, then. -Oh...

Stop there, stop. Don't go. Just have to film him a bit.

It's so nice.

Mother of four.

Photographer.

And very fond of nature.

I am someone who tries to understand how everything is connected.

Through words and images.

I live on a farm outside Kongsberg with my husband Nik and my children.

One that is mine from before, and three that are ours.

Ronja.

Freya.

Falcon and Wolf.

Plus a bunch of animals.

As long as the seasons permit, we grow our own food.

We spend as much time as we can in nature.

And our three youngest children will be homeschooled.

The decision not to take part in the rat race means less luxury, -

- but it's so liberating.

We control our own lives.

We want to be independent. Free and filled with love.

Do you think we damage them when we pick them?

I don't know.

-How many do you have there? -86, I think.

86? Then you beat me, I'm only 72.

I will give half to my mother and put half on the table.

I miss the smell.

I have a sweater to smell, but it's not that fresh.

She smells good. And nice and safe.

What I was most afraid of was that dad would never be happy again.

I understand that it is very hard for him.

So that's why I have to take care of him.

Shall we collect pine cones and make a cone heart?

I'll add a couple more here.

I will try my best, because I know Maria would have wanted that.

Trying to combine homeschooling with growing our own food -

- and harm the planet as little as possible.

Teaching children to respect the planet, love it and love nature.

- I want to lift up that bark. - No, Falk, it's the home of the insects.

And they are food for woodpeckers.

But it is much more difficult alone.

Happy birthday, mom. Love you with all my heart.

You are the best mom in the world.

Love you from the moon down a hundred thousand, times a thousand times more.

Kisses from Freya. Love you.

Love you, mom.

Congratulations on the day. From Falk.

- I'm so happy for you, dad. - I'm happy for you too.

Now the sun disappears.

- The sun is going down, Falk! -Hurry up!

-Do you want to see the sun go down? -Yes!

-Mom, look! -Yes!

It was bedtime and we were lying in the dark, curled up next to each other.

Then I sang her a little song and she closed her eyes.

And just when I thought she was asleep, she said, "Does the octopus have a tail?"

"What is the sun?"

"Where do the clouds go?"

"What do frogs eat?"

I answered as best I could, and then she fell asleep.

Beautiful, my little girl.

I wish I could join you in dreamland.

- Happy for you. - Happy for you too.

What I'm wondering is...

Maybe there is another me who says the same thing at the same time?

There are good chances of that.

If the universe is infinite, then…

What planet could we have lived on, if we could not live on earth anymore?

I don't know, they haven't found any. But it is still early.

We have billions of years to find a new planet, -

- if we don't destroy this one before then.

- I'm scared, dad. -Don't be afraid.

-Daddy, I love you so much. - I'm happy for you too.

Night!

-Prison. -Prison?

Yes, you are guilty of being a child, Freja.

-But haven't you been a child? - I was in "prison" for twelve years.

- There's the water! -Listen here!

Don't fall into the water this time.

- It will be a good adventure then. -Do you hear me, Wolf?

- Watch out! - Watch out!

The other hand.

- The job is done, Wolf. - My turn!

-Who's ready for food? - I'm ready!

- This is life. - That's it, buddy.

Why do we live differently and not go to school like other children?

Well...

Mom and I made a choice many years ago when you were little.

- Shall I put some wood on the fire? - Of course.

Before Falk was born, we decided that we wanted more time with you, -

- not just mornings, evenings and weekends.

Do not send yourselves to kindergarten or school.

So we made that choice and adapted our lives to it.

So we can have days like this, where we work together out in nature.

Don't you think mom would have loved this?

- Yeah. -A day like this.

This is a very blunt axe, Wolf.

Let's read the last thing you wrote. Read from here.

-At first they just ate...? - Algae.

Of course I'm unsure. Am I driving and ruining the children's lives here?

Am I doing something horrible, something that both I and they will blame me for?

The panic is there from time to time.

Maria and I always talked about it when we were in doubt. Is this correct?

We were alone in this, it was just Maria and me.

- Nick. -What?

Where are we now? Where are we going and what have we done?

I don't know where we are, we're sitting in line.

-But where...? - Lofoten.

Yes, and what happened in Lofoten?

We got engaged.

When I met my husband, I knew right away that I had met -

- someone who was free and confident enough in himself to join me on a different path.

Independent and strong enough to stand for his choices.

Strong enough not to care what others think.

So we bought the farm, which required an enormous amount of work.

We restored the house, cleared the forest, bought animals.

And soon after, the farm was filled with life again.

There comes the poo.

But when you choose a life that is so dependent on yourself,-

- is quite vulnerable.

Before, we survived mainly on what Maria earned as a photographer.

Men ...

I have to sell the farm.

I don't earn enough to pay off the loan alone.

It will be strange to travel from all the memories here.

Congratulations on the day!

Congratulations on the day!

Congratulations, dear Freja!

Congratulations on the day!

Good job, Wolf.

Ten years old.

Who is this from?

From me.

Daddy, I love you.

- Do you know what it says? - Freya.

-"Freja" in Norse runic script. - Freya Payne.

- It means joy? - That's right.

-Dad, thank you very much. - Be nice, glad you liked it.

The best birthday in the world.

Dad looks very…

-Looking happy? - You too.

The only people missing now are Ronja and mum.

I miss Ronja.

I think we should see each other a little more often.

"Dear Ronja. Congratulations a hundred million times over. Now you are twelve years old."

"You're cool and smart and funny and we love you."

"Whispers and hugs from mom, Freja, Falk and Wolf."

I miss my siblings.

It was my mother who held us together.

She was sort of the center point.

Then we were all around and clinging to her.

After my mother died, I moved in with my father.

It didn't feel natural to me to live on the farm without her.

And ... I felt very alone.

Even though I had a dad.

I haven't talked to my siblings about my mom since she died.

It hurt so bad I couldn't process it at all.

I really want to talk to them.

They are the only ones who actually understand how I feel.

But... I don't know what to say.

Hey.

- The feet! -"Goodbye, feet"!

It's you in the stomach. And it's mommy's feet.

As you get bigger, she can't see her feet.

It will be sad to leave all these nice places.

- What will be the worst for you, Falk? - I've lived here all my life, dad.

What's gonna happen, dad?

I'm going to go cut onions.

- But what will happen? Do we have to move? - Yes, we have to move.

How?

We are going to sell the farm, Freja.

It is very sad that we will not be staying here anymore.

And then we have lived here with my mother almost my whole life.

But she just stays with us, she.

-Are you doing well? -Yes.

Are you doing well?

Mhm.

I love this place.

-Can we keep it if it's dead? - It isn't.

-Yes, if it's not a dead beetle... -Look...

-"Ew! I don't like coffee breath!" - Tick it.

You are right, it is alive!

It sure tickled! "Tick me!"

Hello, hello. My name is Nik.

- Eivind. Are you the one who lives here? -Yes.

- Here it was quiet, peaceful and nice. -Yes.

It was time to move out of town, we realized.

-Too many people. -Yes, right?

Hello. My name is Nik. I'm the one who has to sell.

The neighbor said you lost your wife.

It was sad to hear that it was a bad situation.

This farm has it all.

Yes, it has.

But no cuddly whales.

I can't wait until the screening is over.

I don't want to move.

I just hope whoever buys the place really loves it. And...

Feel at home and...

-Using the vegetable gardens. -And pays well.

Well, that's important too, Freja.

Seriously, Falk. End.

Oh, Freya! I got broken glass!

You can't.

- No, no! -Dad?

The boys jump on my bed while I try to sort my clothes.

They are so damn annoying.

-Guys, stop it. -What is it?

-Freja tries to pack her clothes. -And it's not their bed.

- Do you think we'll have room for this, dad? -Yes.

A picture of your chair.

Ronja wore this to mum and dad's wedding.

How do you usually pack such a ...?

Along with the other things?

I miss having other girls around me.

I hope that Ronja will come and visit us.

You have missed your siblings very much.

And.

We have already talked about whether you and Freja could have talked more about mum.

Because it is very difficult?

Yes, but it's like... I'm the one who has to take the initiative.

- And I can't bear that. -No.

I'm so afraid of saying the wrong thing.

Because I can't be the adult person in that situation.

Because I... It's way too much for me.

Yes, I understand.

But I think that you are not the adult in that particular situation.

You are a mother's daughter, just like Freja.

And.

OCTOBER 22: UNKNOWN LANDSCAPE.

JULY 10: MY GIRLS.

When Freja was born, I was of course happy to have a little sister.

The first thing I did when she got home was hide under the barn.

Because now no one wanted me.

I found it very difficult to share my mother.

- What has happened lately? - Don't know.

Has something special happened in your family?

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

- A baby has arrived. -Has a baby just arrived?

I became very jealous.

I wasn't Nik's daughter, I was his mother.

I was just there and took up space.

Maybe I wasn't as good at those things as Freja was.

She was just naturally the perfect child for them.

It must have been difficult for Freja, she has been so fond of me.

And then I pushed her away.

Hey!

Do you climb the tree?

- Hello, Ronja! -Hello!

-Hey, Freya! -Hello!

- Do you pick currants? -Yes.

So cozy!

- You can help if you want. -Yes.

- Have you thought anything more about school, then? -No.

-You don't want to start school? - No, absolutely not.

Homeschooling is much better.

And ...

It will probably be very nice to live at Bø, then.

It was the stupid bank's fault that we had to leave.

And.

They said we couldn't be here anymore, because they thought -

- that dad couldn't pay for it alone.

And he can't do that.

It only costs 600,000 on Bø.

-600,000? -Yes.

Only 6000.

- Is it only 6000? -In the month, yes.

-Oh, OK. - Not 600,000.

Yes, that would have been a bit much.

Shall we start at the top and work our way down?

Ronja, can you stand something like...

-Are you gluten intolerant? -Yes.

-Milk? -No.

You can come and eat pizza with us, if you want?

Maybe it? We'll see what happens.

-You haven't forgotten the taste of "Daddyosa"? -No.

Wolf! We're leaving now, mate.

We'll be back for vegetables and stuff, -

- but this is goodbye, folks.

- Is that the little house? - Yes, the small one on the right.

- Our house. - I can see it.

- We are grateful for the food. -And for the visit.

We are happy to have Ronja visiting. And that we have each other.

And we send love, out through each other, to the entire universe.

And to mom. Hey, concentrate.

-Yes. Amen. -Amen.

Am I allowed to watch?

From a distance. From here.

Now it's happening!

OK, that was really scary.

Poor thing, now he's bleeding to death.

-Oh, it kicks! - Yes, it's the nerves. He is dead.

-He's kicking! -He was dead as soon as it narrowed.

Slightly thicker skin than on the small lambs.

This is food for a year!

It is food for a long time for many.

We kill a lot of animals, don't we? We will kill many bulls.

Next year, yes. But we don't kill more than we have to.

But when we've eaten the bull, it's not alive, is it?

No, it hasn't been alive for a while now.

Shall we get a wheelbarrow?

Wolf, I think we need the big one. Can you pull away?

-Wolf! - Shall we take the big one? It's a big bull.

- Now it's coming! -Oi! Look there!

It explodes! Come on, back!

Then I don't want to watch.

It stinks. I'm leaving now, before I get sick.

We thank you for this bull.

His name was Ferdinand and he was good.

We give thanks for his meat.

-What is it? -His tail.

Don't do it!

The first thing we have to do is clear away the drain boxes.

Pushing them across the table is not cleaning, Wolf.

- Yes, it is. -No.

Can you read what you wrote yesterday?

-Kom igjen. -"Ku-rev" ...

-"Kurv". -"Kurv".

I am worried about some things.

For example, whether I can teach them Norwegian.

So we can have capital "A".

And we can have a small "a".

But we have to have an income, so I have to work.

And there is no one to look after the children while I work.

It would be easier in England. My brother has a farm and a company.

I could have worked there and homeschooled the children.

But I made a promise to Maria that I would try to stay.

It's family here, it's Ronja.

Hello, this is Nik Payne calling.

I am calling because I need a nursery place.

I was wondering if there are any vacancies at your place?

Hello? Hello, Marit.

After all, we want to have the children at school.

We hope that we could get an offer where the children go to school for three days -

- and two days at home.

We would like to have the children at school as much as possible.

So I think we should get a three-day offer.

Can't you think about it, Nik? As I said, we would like to have the children with us.

And.

The headmaster says that we can only come if we want to.

All the time. "We are completely open to you." But I don't want to go to school.

It would have been nice to make new friends, but it's no fun being new.

And then you have to raise your hand, which I'm not used to doing.

I feel like a failure when I can't do everything for them.

But... It's just not possible.

Once upon a time there was a mother and a father.

Falcon! Falcon? Can you...

She should actually have started school two weeks ago.

But instead she is with us and learning at her own pace.

And guided by his own curiosity.

It is expected today that in childhood we will become -

- cultured and civilized and -

- and socialized people, which is of course great.

But it comes at the expense of the spontaneous and playful in us.

That is one of the reasons why I do not want my children to be brought up in institutions.

You can be yourself, but only if you adapt and follow the rules.

-Do you feel ready for tomorrow, Freja? -No.

-Why not? - I don't want to.

No, well. Why not?

I just don't want to. I'm just going to walk around the school yard.

That's the only thing I'm going to do.

Dad, what do you want most? Take me to school and leave me, -

- or have me here? - I would have you here, Falk.

If you didn't have to work, I wouldn't have to go, right?

-No. - So stop working, dad.

Then we had to live in England. And that would have been fine by me.

Come on, buddy!

Keep going, Falk. Forward.

- All the way into the living room. - Look at Wolf's hair, Falk!

We have to ask if you are allowed to carry a knife.

I have my doubts.

My experience is that the kindergarten does not like the children to have knives.

I can keep it in my bag.

Then it becomes a hidden weapon, Wolf.

I have to comb your hair again, Wolf. Where is the hairbrush?

Grit your teeth together. Would you like something to nibble on? Bit on this one.

-What are you laughing at? What? - That I haven't thought of this before.

OK, it's getting tame.

If mom was here, I would have asked -

- how she fit in on the first day of school.

- It's so foggy. - Yes, maybe we should just get lost.

-Let's do it, Dad! -"Sorry, we couldn't find the school this morning."

Yes, do it, Dad!

I can call and say, "We tried our best, but..."

"We got lost and ended up in the forest. Luckily we had a packed lunch with us."

-Daddy, can I join? -Yes.

Yes, they are waiting for us.

Good morning! Good morning.

-Hey, you guys! -Hey, are you Wolf?

So nice to see you!

Shall we go in? There are many other children there too.

How is it going? How are you?

We are doing well. I think the children are doing very well.

-And with me. - Yes, it must be going well with dad too.

So good!

We are a small school, so these will be the supervising teachers.

-Are you satisfied? - Yes, yes.

At least it seems that Freja thought it was okay to come today.

Then she got maths books. And she got the iPad home.

- Has she got it? -Yes.

We have downloaded the NRK Super app.

We have shown her some series that are for girls.

Some social stuff that we looked at today.

I think she thought it was fine.

I don't know if you have seen much of NRK Super before?

No, we don't watch a lot of TV.

Well, I said she should be allowed to.

It's her homework so she has to?

The one series called "The Class",-

- addresses a great many social dilemmas.

-To help solve them? -Yes. So it's so nice.

So I think it was good to show her it, -

- and Showbie, which we use as a platform.

She has all the subjects there.

I made new friends, I made new friends!

-How did it go? - It went well.

- Did you get things? -Yes!

-Grandpa? -And?

- It was fun. -Abrupt. There you see.

How was it on a scale of 1 to 10?

This morning you said you thought it would be a 3.

Hm ...

- Mine was 14! -9.

9? That's pretty good.

- Mine was 14! - It's better than 7, which I was hoping for.

All the apps were there when I got it, except for one.

I had to download NRK Super.

Anne Gina wanted me to do it.

Yes, she mentioned that she is trying to get you to watch TV.

There are all these here, and then there is NRK Super. And then these.

You can choose...

-Put that thing away! - She's just going to show us! Show some of...

Just a little, show how you do it.

-Turn it off. -Dad, look. It's a fun game.

We are grateful for the food and for the day we have had.

-Amen. -Amen! Me first!

I have been very absent.

-Gone away? - Yes, I've been away for a while.

There aren't that many people you've talked to, have you?

I'm really just talking to you about things like that.

There aren't that many people in my life that I feel I can talk to about it.

What I think would have hurt me the most is the close contact.

Never being able to give a hug again to someone you love so much.

-Yes. - It must be incredibly painful.

It's actually one of the worst. It's like... Yeah.

One second you have that person. The only one you've known all your life.

And in the next second it's just nothing.

I want to show her the person I am now.

I want her to see everything.

She is not actually coming back again.

Really like that.

Is there anything in particular you want to talk about?

Maybe it's a little difficult to make friends at school.

-At least to go and play with someone. -Why is it difficult?

I don't know. I am shy.

The first step is always the hardest.

Once you've taken the first step, you're good to go.

-And ... -Hey!

Take off your shoes, dad.

Well...

"Are you doing well at school, out at recess?" I answered "A little".

Is there anything that makes it not "Yes"?

Maybe it's because it's a little hard to make friends.

Yes, I get it.

I have seen that sometimes it is difficult and sometimes it is easier.

We actually talked about it now instead.

That you have to take the first step, you have to start.

Then it will go well.

And eventually it's easier when you sit together.

And.

Then you can work in pairs in the classroom,

- and maybe be two and two out too.

It's a bit boring.

There is no one who understands me completely.

It goes up and down. Some good periods and some bad.

I can't help feeling that it would have been easier for me in England.

I so want to meet my family, not be alone.

-What do we say? -Team Payne!

I grew up in this bedroom, overlooking those fields there.

-Do you like the idea of ​​buying some land? -Both and, I think.

But it would have been a dream to have our own little farm.

And ...

- I want to go home, dad. - I know that.

I've said it before, but I'll say it again: I grew up in Norway.

I grew up here, so for me this is home.

There is nothing left for me in Norway now.

I feel like a stranger there, I can't be myself. Do you see it?

And then it's boring that here in England we can't camp, fish or hunt.

Well... No, not so much.

Freja will probably be happy to come home.

Yes, she misses the cats and all that.

I am considering coming back here for good.

But everything is a bit... There is a lot to think about.

I know it's still early days, but is anything happening on the ladies front over there?

In the.

-No, I can't imagine... -What?

I can't imagine that happening.

Well, you wouldn't have been hurt by it.

I just can't imagine it.

You have the right to time for yourself.

I mean... Life goes on.

- Oh, hey! -Hey!

-Oi, your hair has grown so long. - Yes, it's a long way.

-As it was before, really. - Falk has actually had a haircut.

Oh, it's been a long time since Falk has had short hair!

I am really looking forward to coming back to Norway.

Oh, I can't wait for you to come home too.

How long have you been gone now?

Maybe four months?

Do you know when you are coming home?

No, we don't know quite yet.

- Have at it, Ronja! - Have at it, Freya. Love you a lot.

- Love you a lot, a lot, a lot! - We talk. Have it!

Have it!

I have always been afraid of them moving to England.

Actually, I think it has been a thought in everyone's mind that they will move.

I think if I tell them I want them to stay, -

- it becomes very difficult for them to know what to think.

So I think it's much easier to just leave them alone.

No one says it, but I feel it very much.

That people are like: "Now it's been a long time, now you have to manage."

"Get over yourself."

I feel very stuck here.

- Are you filming now? - Yes, just say it.

Should I say it now?

Now my mother and grandmother and I have landed in Alta, on our way to Kautokeino.

And!

It hit me like a bolt of lightning: I have to go there.

I have to be in the place where I was born.

I have felt drawn towards Northern Norway and Sami culture all my life.

Being there gave me some answers as to why I have felt this way.

It felt like the beginning of a relationship with an incredibly powerful area.

A bit like I'm closing a ring deep inside myself.

It gives me more freedom and room to be myself.

Get away from this town here.

I have no room ... At least I feel that I have no room to grieve.

Here there is only a hole.

I have to do my own thing. Other surroundings, new things, other people.

Look there, dad! Simba! Simba!

Look at him! He is so big now!

-Was this in the mailbox? -Yes.

Put it here with the rest.

I water dried plants. At the last minute.

- It's nice to be home again. - I don't remember this one being so big.

It has probably grown a bit.

- I am so happy that I am almost sad. -How is it going?

I cry tears of joy.

- This was a carrot, wasn't it? -Never mind.

- All these grow here, right? -Yes. But sometimes they get cut off.

- We have to drag these out. -You can leave them if you want.

It doesn't matter.

It's nice to come back here and back to this.

Gardening, working with the animals...

I like myself here, but where will I build a future?

I have to find out now, before it's too late.

It actually makes the decision even more difficult.

It's good to be home again.

And.

I feel that Freja thinks it is her fault that I have not been so present.

So I'm trying to say it's not her, it's me.

Right now it's a bit difficult, I feel like I'm pulling away from everyone.

But at the same time, I know it's good for me.

And ... I'm looking forward to it.

Hello! Hello!

Happy birthday, Wolf!

Congratulations on the day! Congratulations on the day!

Congratulations, dear Wolf!

Hooray!

- That's good. - It was quite good, actually.

I'm dreading you leaving, Ronja.

-Where are you going to move? - To Bodø.

What are you going to be? Nurse?

Yes, or I want to be a midwife eventually, but that's a long time away.

Now I'm going to the Health Service.

Have it! Falcon?

I love you a lot.

- Have at it, Nik. - Have at it, Ronja.

- Good luck. -Thanks.

- I'm going to miss you so much! - I'm going to miss you too.

But I'm coming home. And we talk.

To Freya. By the time you read this letter, I have already left.

I want you to know that I am not moving because I want to get away from you.

I'm moving because I need to get away from this place.

I know I haven't always been the best sister, and I'm very sorry for that.

When my mother died, everything became very difficult for me.

I found it difficult to be with you, -

- because everything just reminded me of the life we ​​had.

It was never that I didn't love you.

I have always done that and always will.

You are my only sister and will always have a special place in my heart.

We haven't talked much about mum, and I know that's very much my fault.

I understand if you are upset or upset with me for how I have handled this.

But I think it's very difficult to talk about it.

It may be too late to say now, -

- but if you ever need to talk about it, I'm here.

You can always call me or send me a letter.

Look after the boys for me, they are lucky to have you.

But I'm also lucky to have such a lovely little sister like you.

I love you more than you understand. Hugs from Ronja.

It was a very nice letter.

I was sad.

It's hard to talk about mom, because it makes me sick.

I don't like to show that I cry.

I feel kind of weak.

-Are you doing well? -Yes.

It's just that I miss my mom.

I cried today too.

I don't know why I'm crying, I don't usually cry.

But it's good to cry.

I received a nice letter from Ronja.

- Did you? -Yes.

Why are you only at school three days, and not the others?

Vel... Hi!

Because dad wants us to homeschool.

Can you sleep long, even if you homeschool?

Yes, until about eight or nine.

I'm not very good at sleeping for long.

It sounds kind of delicious. But at the same time it's really fun to be with friends.

You are so lucky to have hens and chickens and such.

Yes. Quite.

I talked a little with dad. We are thinking of buying chickens.

But then there is a bit too much control, -

- because we have to build a chicken coop and stuff like that.

- We can certainly help you. - Oh, that would have been really nice.

- Then we could be together too. -Yes.

We could do something we both like.

-Bake, maybe, sometimes? -Oh, yes!

- We both like that, for sure. -Yes!

Dad, I want to go to school for the rest of the week.

-Really? -Yes.

-OK, why that? - We are going on a trip on Friday.

-Yes! - I thought you could go on Friday.

I want to go on Thursday too, then we will get to know our sponsor children.

And bro.

-And on Wednesday I just want to go. -What?

Tomorrow too. I want to go for the rest of the week, if that goes well?

We were supposed to go camping, Freja.

I don't want to. I want to go to school.

To Ronja. You are the best sister anyone could wish for.

I'm certainly not mad at you, and if there's anything, I always talk to dad.

It's not your fault we haven't talked about mom.

I am very happy for you. I also miss her very much.

We have had piglets. There are seven pieces.

They are very cute.

We have picked up lots of vegetables from the garden and put them in the cellar.

I hope you enjoy your new school. Have you made any new friends?

Ingrid is my best friend. We come up with lots of fun together.

Love you from the moon and back again.

Hope you come home for Christmas. Big hug from Freja.

Is it okay to walk forward alone when they say your name, Wolf?

-No. -What? No?

I think you can do it.

Everyone should do it.

You walk under the arch and stand with your classmates.

Do you have it?

Hey, hey, everybody!

- It's exciting! -Yes.

Oh, now I know I'm excited! The whole body tingles.

I have been so looking forward to this day.

Welcome to Efteløt School!

It's your school now. From now on you will be here with us.

And we are looking forward to that.

Wolf River Water Payne!

Then there is Levi…

Have a nice day, Wolf.

Maria should have been involved in this.

-Hey, dad! -Hey, Nick! How is it going?

-Not so bad. -Hey!

Falk is hiding.

-Wolf, do you still like yourself at school? -Yes.

-Is it fun? -Yes.

Do you have many friends there?

-I have three friends. Or four. -Oi!

-And I have two! -Joy me!

Remember we talked about moving to England?

You talked about it, yes.

Yes. Well, it will have to be put on hold for a while.

We have settled down here, now that the children are at school.

It would be a big change for them, they have their lives here.

I look forward to the future.

Our home is where we are together.

I have slowly but surely come to the conclusion that everyone wants to stay.

-Stop, Wolf! -Stop running, "Forrest"!

Stop running!

Things have changed, but basically we are doing the same thing.

I don't feel like I'm letting Maria down.

It feels like the mustache is falling off.

That was a great moustache, Wolf. Can you talk to it?

- I can. -Yes.

Because it's stuck in your snot?

Hands.

Love.

How is it still stuck? It is suspicious.

You should go with it all the time, Wolf.

-Yes! -And monobrows.

-Can you put it on so I can take a picture? - Then you have to be quick.

Smile, Wolf.

You look like a 40 year old man.

Which is dragged through the forest.

Shall we go?

-Yes. - We have been here a long time.

-Come on, Dad! We have to go! - I'm coming!

I love you, Maria.

I thought we were going to be sorry all our lives, -

- but that was certainly not what we were supposed to do.

Mother is always in the air around us and inside us.

- Mom? Can you lift me up? -Wait a minute, then.

This winter has been all about digging deep -

- and be in the dark.

Know my limitations, but also push past them.

Roll around in my own mud until I've had enough -

- that all I could do was howl and dance.

It has been about forgetting all the difficult -

- and simply choose love.

-And! -And.

-Away? -Away?

Let's not talk about winter now.

Let's go out instead. Out to the sound of trickling water.

And birds singing in ecstasy.

For grass underfoot and butterflies.

And the first spring flower.

Let's stay in the sun until it goes down.
