"Don't worry..." "Take it easy..." "Ninni!" "Harri!" "Come quick!" "Harri!" " Oh my god..." "Breathe!" "The mother could give the girl's details at the desk. - l'll do it." "Face intact." "Bleeding in the back." "We'll need a CAT scan." "Ninni." "Look here, if you can." "We must call Eve." "You have to call her." "is there... ls there a listing for Eve Uusitalo in the Stockholm region?" "I don't have the address here..." "What are the neighboring towns?" "Try Västerås.And connect the call, if you find her." "Eve..." "Ninni had an accident." "Shame on you!" "Try me but not Ninni." "Especially not Ninni!" "Or it will be the last thing you do." "sisters APART" "Hi. I'm looking for Ninni Uusitalo." "Just a minute..." "An ER patient." "She's been discharged." " Discharged?" "Yes, she went home." "Right..." "is her address still Niemelänranta?" "We can't give out patient information." " But... I'm Eve Uusitalo." "I'm hermother." "The address is the same." " Thank you." "Let's go." "Ninni!" "We called Eve last night." "Hello." "How come you're up?" "I thought..." "I went there..." "Did they send herhome?" "Yes." "I brought you presents." "Can I give you a hug?" "Are you in pain?" " No." "The concrete scratched her back hair, but she's OK." "Can we go to the canteen?" "I didn't eat anything on the plane." "I must take Ninni home." " Of course." "Here, this is for you." "Just some magazines and chocolate." " Thanks." "Come on." "Let's go meet Ninni." "is that Taru?" "Yes." "Do you feel sick, Ninni?" " No." "You made it." " Of course." "It seemed so bad yesterday..." "Of course I came." " We didn't think..." "Sorry about the yard." "Cars make it even worse on a rainy summer." "We should've had it tiled." "Go in, I'll take her in." "I'll be right there." "Ninni, let's go inside." " Forget it." "I didn't come here for coffee." "I'm just glad Ninni is okay." "I'll take a look at the house." "It's a total mess." " But can I take a look?" "We're going to put some guestrooms in here." "The stud farm gets many visitors in the summer." "We can't do it right away, we have so much debt." "You and Taru?" "Yes." "What about it?" "What?" "I didn't hearyou." "There wasn't much to say." "Did you get the postcards?" "Now I know why Taru never called me." " Leave her alone." "Fuck, what a sightseeing!" "Any other surprises?" "You've set up a nice life foryourselfhere." "I won't listen to any comments about what happened here - while you've been away!" "You weren't here explaining to a 3-year-old where hermom is!" "I'm sorry. I didn't... I didn't come here to stirthings up." "Ninni is fine. I won't tear any old wounds open." "I'll leave on the evening flight." "Did you ground her?" " What do you mean?" "It wasn't her fault." "I scared her." "She shouldn't jump on you like that." "Hey, Eve is waiting foryou." "You should go to her." "She's never done anything to you?" " No." "I took care ofher when she was a foal." "Eve is in the yard, live." "Go." " Can't I stay here?" "Want me go with you?" "Well?" " Went for a drive." "Eve?" " Eve and Ninni." "Where did they go?" "Perfect!" "She just had a concussion!" "Where did they go?" "What did you expect?" "I'm going too." " Where?" "To the lean-to." "Are you going to take off, just like that?" "I called Salo." "He'll give me a ride." "It's a two-night shoot." "I can't afford to be choosy." "Or..?" "Yeah." "You're right." "This won't change anything." "Come on!" "This is great!" "No!" "This is wonderful!" "You're nuts." "This place hasn't changed at all." "Do you know them?" " Not really..." "Stop!" "I wanna talk to Ansku." "Okay." "I'll go with Ansku." " Okay... lt's confirmed." "We'll get F.T. Flyer here next month." "Isn't it great?" "No, nothing new." "Bye." "You always wanted a horse." " This is mine." "The others aren't." "Saddle horses?" " Trotters." "We train them and breed them." "I tried to get Ninni into riding, but it wasn't her thing." "But yours." "Remember the riding camp?" "And the window I climbed out of?" "There was a doortoo." " lt was guarded." "And it smelled like shit." "I had to get out." "The guys who brought you back didn't let you out of the car." "They did!" "As soon as you came to my rescue - screaming: "Let my sister go!"" "Stand back." "Ninni stayed downtown." " She's had a tough day." "She'll be fine." "But I'm here now!" "Yeah, but if you're needed in Sweden, you've gotta go." "Yeah." "Or... I could wait for her." "To say goodbye." "Yeah." "I should give her my new address." " Good, give it to her." "I'm glad you came." "Come again, anytime." ""l'm glad you came"?" "is that what you said?" "What did you have in mind for me?" " What?" "You know." "The state I was in ten years ago... lf someone tells her to go, she'll go." "Listen, Eve..." "I've done my best around here." "You said she'd be better off without me." "Remember?" "Yes." "And a lot more we don't yell about." "Shut up, dammit!" "Think!" "What was best for the child?" "Let's talk this through." "You have no right." "You wanted Harri." "Admit it!" "Everything was fixed up after you left." "Look at yourself." "We took huge loans and incredible risks!" "You always get what you want." "But Ninni and Harri are not yours and you know it." "I want back the ten years I'm entitled to." "taking ANAP" "Who took this?" " Let me see..." "Harri is giving you a bath." "Look at that hairy hand!" "Eve must've taken it." "Don't tearit!" "The photos will come off." "I wanna see what it says in the back." " Nothing." "It took hours to make this album." "Did you make this?" "Yes." "This is so cute..." "Remember this one?" "This was your special pose forthe camera." "Do you remember?" "." " No." "Right..." "Good night." "Sweet dreams." "Did I say good night?" "You did." "Did you eat anything?" " Some bread." "I have to go." "I missed school yesterday and there's the program team..." "The disco, next week." "We have to plan everything." "Let me see the scar... I wish I had a comb." " l have one." "Should we cut your hair a little?" "You know I'm growing it!" "There... that should do." " Good morning!" "I've gotta go." " l can take you." "You don't have to." "I'll go by bike." "I can't be here much longer." "Let me take you." "I need the carback by noon." " Done." "I love the roof!" "Did you paint it?" " Not really." "Harri called this the farmhand's room - but I don't think there's ever been a farmhand here." "Hi." "The carkeys..." "I'm really sorry, I forgot." "Hang on, my grocery bag is still in the car." "Did they ever find any mould here?" " What?" "In this house." "They said it can't be fixed - because a fungus destroys the floorboards and the walls." "Floorboards can be changed." " Was it true?" "No, this is a very good house." "Who's that?" "Hi, Pepe!" "He's nine." "My dog, but he likes Dad better." "An old dog." "Mom!" "Don't give him anything." "He's on a diet." "I forgot." " Ninni..." "Let's go fix your hair." " Okay." "Smile, baby!" "You look great." "Where did you learn this?" "At a seniors' home." "I blow-dry their hair and put on rollers." "You have more hair." "Yours is great." "Do you like old people?" "Since you fix theirhair." " l'm more in entertainment now." "I sing to them or make them sing." "But I also like looking after children and old people." "I thought you were smaller." "Taru said..." "Am I big?" "That's not what I meant." "Would you like to hear what we're planning for the disco?" "Sure." "Natu..." "Mom's little Natu." "You look nice!" " You hate it." "No, I don't." " Do I look terrible?" "Come closer, let's see." "Why don't you like it?" "Because Eve did it?" "Do you have to go along with all herideas?" "Ninni, is that really you?" "You make everything sound so difficult!" " Ninni!" "It's in her head." " What?" "Why Indigo is so rowdy." "is she in pain?" " No." "Did she calm down at all?" "Alittle." "No successful starts and you spent a fortune on her." "I don't get it." "You didn't see hermare." "She's taking up all your time." " Thanks for the support." "It won't be easy to make her behave." "You don't think I can do this." " l wouldn't." "You don't know the horse." "She's the best there is." "Her offspring will win all the races." "I'll name my stables after her." " What's it called now?" "It has no official name yet." "is Eve here?" "Yeah..." "Yes, but that's not a problem." "Do you need more help?" " No." "Eve?" "Would you come here a sec?" "She has a room ofher own." "Asleepover?" "Remember how great it was?" "To eat candy and stuff." "She's in 7th grade." "She has routines." "Alife, you mean." "Come on!" " But how long?" "One day, five days?" "We should work together so we can control..." "Calm down!" "We can talk to her." "She's testing us to see where grown-ups set the limits." "She wanted so badly for you to come." " Trying to scare me?" "No." "Are you trying to say you know what's best for her?" "." "I know her." "I gave birth to her, not you." "You know nothing about her." "You don't have any children." "Are you pregnant?" "Please don't come here again uninvited." "Thanks." "See you Friday." "Yes." "Riina." "She's nice." " Greedy!" "She almost ate my finger." "How was the shoot?" " lt was okay." "is everything OK?" "Yes." "Are you sure?" "Yes!" "Ninni's bed went for a sleepover." "Let's bring the old couch here." "Taru always helps me." " Where did she go?" "Indigo has to be fed last." " Right, the goddam horse... I should go there." " Oh no..." "What?" " Stupid wrinkle!" "And on the cover... lt's no big deal." "We can iron it out." "I can't show that in public." " Ninni..." "My little bird..." "What's wrong?" "Come on..." "Eve is our teachernow." " Oh..." "She just told the principal that she'll run a music workshop." "Sounds like Eve." "Have you asked her when she's gonna leave?" "Did Taru send you?" "How are you?" "I found this under the bed." "Ninni asked me to teach her." "I told heryou're much better." "Why didn't you teach her?" "She's had other things to do." "At least she's interested." "I found an old notebook with songs." "Listen to this one..." "We made a bet on when the ice would melt" "What do you think?" "Isn't it cool?" "Just before you came I was thinking - what I would've done if you had called me back then." "Where?" "You would've found me, if you had really tried." "Stockholm is not that big." "You made it pretty clear you didn't want to be found." "Did you want me back?" "Did you?" "Need help?" " l'm just resting." "Stay there and tell me what you wanted to say." "There are many who should know." "My parents." "And Ninni, of course." " Right." "It's far too soon to tell." "And difficult in this situation." " Situation?" "It shows!" "Shall we go?" "Ninni is in her room." "I can't, I let Indigo out." "Was it smart to buy that horse?" "She'll be good." " But now she's bad and you're pregnant." "We won't kill her." " Who said anything about killing?" "What then?" "Let me show you I can make this work." "Harri..." "Are you the one calling the shots here?" "Let's tell her then." "Tomorrow." "We always have fish." "Dad likes it." " Me too." "Have dinner with us." "No..." " Come on!" "Okay." "Eve will join us." "Hi." " Hi." "The fish is probably done..." "Ninni, would you get the potatoes?" "Sit down, I'll give you a plate." "What do you do when you find the moose?" " l take pictures." "Did you quit working for Kalevi?" " l sell photos." "And I do a bit of writing." " What about?" "Nature." " What kind?" "Some stories are really funny." " Some are." "Yesterday a bull rushed past the lean-to." "It had smelled the herd." "Luckily the guys were at the pond and were not hurt." " Guys?" "Students." " Do you live on it?" "Or does Taru run the household?" "I'd say we run it together." "Wne?" "I don't drink anymore." "Teaching's the clue." "Everyone wants to learn to take photos." "Do you want more bread?" " Here's the raw-pickled fish." "is it allowed during pregnancy?" "I'm not, I meant Taru." "Not like that... not now." "Sorry..." "If you're not." "If you are, it's the best that could happen to you." "Did you want some?" "You cut this like for a child." "I'm sorry." " Sit down and have some potatoes." "This is our family's business!" " Sorry I spoiled the family mood." "Ninni, it wasn't supposed to go like this." "We wanted to tell you when the time was right." " Don't!" "Don't yell at Taru." " You always side with her!" "He's always on Taru's side!" "Always, always, always!" "I'm going with my Mother." "Go!" "But hold on real tight or she'll leave you again!" "Bloody childish to arrange a scene in front of her." "Ninni will live in Stockholm if you wait long enough." "It's a bit hard to get hernow." " They'll be in a cab soon!" "Eve won't get Ninni." " lt's not up to her." "Ninni is thirteen." "She can decide." " Why would she leave her home?" "Eve left Ninni with me once." "She won't do it again." "Wee, wee, little bird..." "Are yourfeet cold?" "What are you thinking about?" "I'll make a salad." " Now?" "Yeah. I'm a bit hungry." "Tomatoes and cucumber..." "And cheese..." "Oh no!" "Nevermind, more flavor." "Put this in the sink, please." "Onions..." "Black pepper..." "Voilà!" "Greek salad." "My favorite." " Thanks." "Don't you like it?" " l get stomach-ache from raw onion." "Have some bread then." "This is what we are!" " Crazy!" "This is great!" " ls it?" "Shit!" "They're out." "Are you okay?" "Are you okay..." "These clothes are hideous!" " l know." "How could anyone wearthese?" "How did Eve fit into these?" "I don't know." "What's she really like?" " l don't know, normal." "Isn't this hat awful?" " Yes." "I'll get some juice." " Okay." "I'm getting more juice." " Sure." "is that your darling?" " Mine?" "Yes." "Come look at an apartment with me. - l'm busy." "is she the one who jumped on Ninni?" " What?" "lfit's my destiny to be kicked by a horse, fine." "You can try to avoid it." "Oh yes, mom wanted you to have the dresser and the china." "Did you decide where you wanna go?" " The graveyard." "Are you from here?" "I bet you know where l could get a car." "And a good one." "Cheap and reliable." "Wanna see the corpses or the car first?" "Come hearthe tapes I found!" "How have you been?" " Great." "I love the school band." "Sweet kids and they're pretty good." "I've tried to teach them stage skills." "They're fast learners." " l meant Sweden." "What about it?" "Plenty..." "Suits you." "Suits me." " Did you tell anyone you came here?" "is someone waiting for you?" "Who wouldn't wait forme, somewhere?" "Let's check out the apartment now." "What do you think?" "Dad's friend moved." "This is vacant for now." "Have you seen your dad?" " He lives near the school." "I know where he lives." "Well..." "Wanna go inside?" "I don't know..." " What?" "Look at this... - lt's walking distance to the school." "But I can't picture you here." "You just can't picture me living with Ninni." "We have options, you know." "Are you threatening to leave with Ninni?" "Go on then." "But she's a big girl with a lot of questions." "She'll want some answers and I won't be there to help you." "Why do you think I don't talk to her?" "Of course I do." "Tell Mats or Karim that you have a daughter here!" "When would you have come if we had not called you?" "Hi." "Can I come in?" "Ninni..." "We can go on like before." " l was the last one to know." "We wanted to tell you when the time was right." "It won't necessarily change anything." "Where's the band-aid?" " l don't need it anymore." "Good." "Listen... I could use some help racing the two stubborn ones." "Not now." "I'll get them ready." "Come later, if you change your mind." "If Indigo had a foal, could I have it?" "Indigo's foal?" "Yeah." "I can't promise you that in this financial situation." "So the answer is no." " Right." "This is not a lottery." "But if you want to ride, I can make room for an Icelandic." "What?" "Do you need help?" " No, we're just fine." "What?" "Say it." "She'll learn trust." " She was already hurt once!" "No..." "Mom!" "Eve?" "What if I took a horse of my own?" " Now?" "In the spring, when I turn 14." " l know how old you are." "That's not what I meant." " We might not be here in the summer." "Come here." "I feel that we've become really good friends." "Like soul mates." "We can be anywhere." "Do you have children in Sweden?" " No." "Do you have a husband there?" " No. I can do what I want." "But let's not talk about me." "It's boring." "Did you try on the shoes I found foryou?" " Why not?" "What do you do if you're always alone?" " l'm not." "I'm not alone. I have work and friends and..." "And sometimes you wanna be alone." "Yes." "Will you fix my hair for the disco tomorrow?" " Of course." "Can you still see the wound?" " No, it looks fine." "Ninni, I'm gonna meet some friends tonight. ls that OK?" "Why did you leave me?" "People do stuff they don't understand, no matter what." "I did wrong. lt was a mistake." "I should've taken you with me." "I'll go change." "Show me ketchup one more time and I'll puke." "You feel sick all the time." " No, just now." "It wasn't like that with Ninni." "Or was it?" "What do we have in common, Eve and I?" " What?" "You confused us." " l did not." "Do you miss her?" "Eve left." "You're the one who told her to come back." "Ninni!" "Did Eve leave?" "Why?" " lt's really late." "We should all be asleep." "Would you like to sleep here?" " l guess..." "Go ahead." "Good night." " Good night." "Thank you!" "Any requests?" ""15th Night."" "Taru!" "Come sing with me!" "You were so alike, so perfect." " Who?" "Mom. I was just a funny mascot to her." "You didn't come to her funeral." " She didn't need me there." "You have all the answers!" "You kept all the Mother's Day cards Ninni made." " Slow down." "Hope you'll never get tired with your child or be left alone." "I've done my best to help." " You took my child!" "Slow down!" "Stop!" "I just came to say you shouldn't leave the child alone." "I'm sorry..." "Fuck!" "What?" "What?" "I'm painting here where the light is good." "Maiju brought Riina." "She won." "We'll celebrate it tomorrow." "Let's make a deal with Maiju." "She could come and help you." "What if I can't..." "You're pregnant!" "It's what we wanted." "What did we want?" "This is just getting worse the more I try." "I can't do anything right." "What are you talking about?" " Eve..." "She left to protect Ninni from herself." "So she wouldn't hurt Ninni." " Protect her from what?" "I started visiting herwhen I saw how tired she was- and mom said she refused therapy." "You were away. I was afraid she would hurt herself." "She hit Ninni." "Did you see it?" "And you didn't tell me." "I'll kill her!" " Leave her alone." "Don't say a word." "She's really trying." "She even quit drinking." "Why are you defending her?" "." " Think about Ninni!" "You're just defending your sister." "She needed you back then." "You have no fucking right!" "But I knew I could trust you." " Perhaps you were wrong." "What?" "When would you have called her if I hadn't told you to?" "Yeah..." "Happy Mother's Day!" "Love, Ninni" "Knock, knock." "Can I come in?" "Was there a party and I wasn't invited?" "Do you have any beer?" "." "Not even a cigarette?" " No." "Look, I'm making a top for Ninni for the disco." "Isn't it cool?" "Do you rememberthis?" " Sorry." "It will be nice when it's done." "I found it in my boxes." "How can you not remember?" "." "We partied for a week- when Kimmo went to the army." "I was wearing this and my hair was up like this." "Sure, now I remember." "I was fixing Ninni's hair." "It's a lot thicker than mine." "Like yours." "You were the handsomest guy around when I fixed your hair." "Note: were." " This is okay." "No way. lt's too short and I could trim your beard." "You're just afraid to let me touch you." "What could I have done differently?" "When you left?" "What did I do wrong?" "You left me alone." "Then Taru came here..." "That's what happened." "Taru came here and..." "You talked about me." "She was nice and attentive- and she understood everything you said - even before you said anything." " Stop it!" "Why didn't you fetch me home?" "Why did you leave me out?" "Darling..." "Are you hurt?" "Yeah, I'm gonna wearthat." "See you there, bye." "Where are you going?" " To the school disco." "Was it Taru?" "Ansku." "I'll spend the night there." "If it's okay with Eve." "Why can't you be together?" "Eve and you." "It's just not possible." "That's life." "Why did Eve leave?" " Back then?" "Perhaps she wasn't well and didn't know what else to do." "It wasn't yourfault." "We've talked about it many times." "Did she say anything?" " No." "Maybe later." "Perhaps she doesn't remember." "It was such a long time ago." "Where's Taru?" "Did she take Indigo?" " l don't know." "You never even ask her!" " Don't talk to me like that!" "What do you mean?" " Nothing." "We have a surprise act." "Wthout Eve - our band's week would've been a disaster." "Eve, please!" "She's awesome." "I wish my mom was like that." "Ninni!" "Do you know where Ninni is?" "What's wrong?" " Did you have to sing just now?" "You didn't even hear how good I was." "Everyone else loved it." "Can't you see how much I'm doing for you?" " Like what?" "What do you mean?" "Ninni?" " Did I ask you to go on stage?" "Ninni... I've given up so much for you." "If only you knew." "What do you mean, for me?" "I don't understand." "Are you leaving?" " No." "Why do you ask?" "No." "Do you love me?" "Yes." "We could've danced, but no!" "Why do you have to be so serious?" "Ninni!" "Taru..." " l'm leaving." "I've thought about this." "I can't stay here." "This is your home." "My life is not what I thought it was. I don't know what it is." "You're not like that." " What am I like then?" "What am I like?" "Ask Maiju to help with the horses." "You'll be fine." "You're the only one who can handle Indigo." "Nobody has to deal with Indigo anymore." "Do I have to tell Ninni again that hermother left?" "Don't... I don't know what to tell her." "What about me?" "Goddammit, I won't let you go." "Ninni!" "I came to get Ninni." " l thought she was with you." "She's not answering her phone." "She was supposed to come to us." "Ansku is looking for Ninni." "She's not with Eve." "Where's Eve?" " She didn't come out of the bathroom." "What do you mean?" " Maybe Ninni is on her way back." "No, I know where she'd be." "Did you knock on the door?" "And she didn't open?" " No." "Taru!" "Shouldn't we go look for Ninni?" "Go home, Ansku." "What do you want?" "I'll never get the mud off!" "These were expensive shoes." "What?" " Nothing." "Did you think I was here slashing my wrists?" "Hello!" "What did Ninni say?" "I know why you asked me here just now." "Do you?" "Just now I know nothing." "You wanted to see you were right, driving me away." "I left you a letter." "I'm going now, bye." "Make a fresh start with your child." "That's what you want." "Taru, wait!" "You don't know what you're doing." "You never left yourfamily." "You don't know what it's like." "Don't tell me you have nobody." "You have no idea how much it hurts." "is it always about you?" "is that all there is?" "When you left, I was sure you'd be back the next day." "Orthe next. I was ready to give up Ninni every day." "Until I decided to keep her and care for her, fight forher." "And look how I failed." "Ninni hates me." "Can't you see that we all want to help you?" "Mom worried about you, but you always made her laugh." "You oryour dad." "Nobody else mattered!" "Didn't we always give you as much as we possibly could?" "Why did you ask me here?" "You'd rather see me dead." "I want out ofhere." " ls that what you want?" "It's what you want!" "You want to get rid of me!" "Stop it!" "I don't want to get rid of you." "I want to adopt Ninni." "Tell Ninni that I'll call her." "Did Eve leave?" "You sleep now." "We'll find her." "She won't disappear." " Think so?" "I know so." "What did mom say?" "Where did she take Indigo?" "Let's ask her tomorrow." "Yeah."
