"It starts on the flight home with their clinking duty-free bottles." "I have nothing against Swedes, one at a time." "Just not en masse." "The conformity, the homogeneity..." "Our fucking IKEA dream of red cottages and scrubbed pine floors  and then we land in a huge hangover." "Hell, what do I know?" "Maybe it's because it's so safe and nice, you end up puking on those floors." "Do you mind if it's a little hot?" "No." "It's great to see you again, Lisa." " You have a nice place." " I like it here." " What was that for?" " I don't know I like you." "You're nice." "Down in Berlin I've been thinking about my life." " Like "Why didn't I go out with Lisa?"" " Because we're friends." " It's nice." " Yes, but we can change that." "Kiss me, goddammit." "No." "No, it's too quick!" "Is it OK if I jerk off?" "I ask you, Fabian Larsson  will you take Ellen to be your wife, to love her in times of need and plenty?" "I will." "Before God and this congregation, I ask you, Ellen Dahl  will you take Fabian to be your husband, to love him in times of need and plenty?" "I will." "May I have the rings please." "God, you are the Creator and Lord of all things." "Bless Ellen and Fabian in their marriage..." "A cheer for the newlyweds!" "One more kiss!" "One more kiss!" "Think it's time to show up now?" "Hurry up, Björn!" "Thanks, all of you!" " Have you known Fabian long?" " Yes, 25 years." " We went out together." " Was it you who broke his heart?" "Cheers!" "Hello!" " It took forever to get here." " Come on, I want to introduce you." " Are we in a hurry?" " What...?" "Pardon me." "Excuse me." "Can you turn it down?" "Just give me two seconds, I know there's been a lot of speeches and that no one wants to hear another one!" "Anyway, Ellen and I have something to tell you." "Most of you, perhaps even all  have at some point asked us how we met." " So I had a little talk with Johan..." " That's right." "...and Carina." "To cut a long story short..." "Too late!" "Go ahead, carry on." "I got some advice." "And went on the Internet." "Ellen and I met over the Internet!" "Cheers, ladies and gentlemen!" " Lisa, have you seen Carina?" " Yes, she's looking for you." " Where?" "Is she all right?" " She's over there with Björn." "Why can't everyone be like you?" "Remember midsummer on Öland?" "Wasn't it a blast?" "Yeah, it was great." "Is it so important?" "I mean, you have kids, does it feel like..." "Sorry." "Perhaps I shouldn't mention it." "Shall we head home?" "See you in August... you'd better be here so that I have someone to talk to." "...so if anything happens during my holiday  don't call." "My mobile's off." "And don't you dare call home  it drives Madeleine crazy." "Don't worry." "We'll call if there's time." "Yes..." "Well then." "This is Jonna, she'll be me for six weeks, okay?" "Vera, I'll get you those excerpts from the Perstorp trial." "It'll make a great story... if you can find the guy with the booze." "But don't believe everything he says." "...and..." "Madeleine's taking the kids to the country tonight so I'll call you." " Have a nice time." " Bye." "Sorry you had to wait." "It's great that you got off early today." " I didn't know you were the type..." " What types are there?" "I know nothing." "That's the thing with Internet dating." "You decide." "You do it all from home." " No, then I'll never get around to it." " Describe yourself:" "Attractive, smart sensuous... youthful nurse dying to have children?" ""Nurse" is enough." "You know..." "There was something you said when Johan and I first met." " You said I wasn't his type." " I was probably justjealous." "I can't even remember saying that." "It must have been 20 years ago." "At the party you and Fabian had;" "you were drunk and I was sober  because I was pregnant." "For some reason I can't forget it." "I've never told anyone, not even Johan." " It's just..." " But I was wrong, right?" " Hi, Fia." " Where are you going?" " I'm meeting someone." " Is it a guy?" " Why?" " God, you are curious." "Because it's fun." "Mum has been my inspiration." "So, I still live with her." "Every morning she pulls the blinds up." ""Up, up and create!" she says." "My mum died when I was three." "Then it was a foster home..." " Just so you know, I've done time." " Why?" "Well, I've got nothing to hide." "It's on the Internet..." "Bank robbery." "You're hot, you look a bit like my ex." "Do you think I look a bit like Brad Pitt?" "I was pregnant twice, at 20 and again five years later." "It was just too soon." "Why is abortion legal?" "!" "Who gives you the right to take a life?" " I've always been afraid of fanatics." " Fanatic?" "No, not me." "...but I understand them." "Push me, and I could easily bomb parliament." "Hi" " Henrik." "Sorry, I got stuck in a meeting." "You look nothing like your picture." "Anyway, I'm Lisa." "Oh my God." "It's you, isn't it?" "Erik?" "Sorry!" "Today is just one of those days." "The bill, please." "Hi Lisa!" "Summer, sunshine and your profile on the Web." "Sure - family, kids, Volvo, red houses and porridge for breakfast." "Coffee with sugar, or do you prefer tea?" "Do you drive or shall we buy a tandem?" "Have you read The Serious Game?" "What about the love of your life?" "What in the world are you doing on the Internet?" "Caspar." "Hi Caspar!" "The love of my life felt compelled to jerk off the last time I saw him." "I read but forgot The Serious Game." "Someone swims at the beginning, right?" "I learnt to swim very late." "And I'm still afraid of water." "My father died in a drowning accident  when I was 12." "I probably fear love as well." "Simple Freudian analysis, if that leads anywhere." "Thanks for your honesty." "No deep traumas in my life, itjust took me ages to mature." "Life's been too exciting to slow down." "I'm on the road, writing to you from London." "Let's keep in touch by e-mail until I get back to Stockholm." "Caspar." "God, it's beautiful here!" "Hi!" "You've really grown." "Where are the others?" " Hello!" " Hi!" "How lovely." "Hello!" "Welcome." "Hi, Johan." "Wonderful!" "...but I was sceptical in the beginning too." "Why pay some therapist when you've got friends?" "But Carina made me go when Destiny got ill because anorexia  concerns the whole family." "And I still go to see her." "I love my therapist." "She is fantastic." "Oh, God." "It depends, doesn't it?" "I went to therapy after splitting up with Rakel's dad." "Waste of time!" " I think it sounds wonderful." " Well, you're very open these days." " I think she's brave." " But is it normal?" " Why does one need to be "normal"?" " What are we talking about?" " Aren't we talking about Internet dating?" " I thought we were." "Isn't it unpleasant?" "People revealing themselves like that." "Why?" "You stay anonymous as long as you like." "And at least you share interests." "If you go to a bar and end up in bed, you know nothing about each other." " But there are other ways, right?" " Yeah, like meeting someone at work." "Meat's done." " Kids, time to eat!" " So do you like any of them?" " God, I don't know." "One guy writes wonderfully but I haven't met him yet." " So you're continuing?" " Yes." "It's embarrassing, but I left my wallet at home." "If you could pay, I'll transfer money to your account tomorrow." "No problem." " Where do you live?" " What do you mean?" "I'm trying to get an impression of you, what neighbourhood, you know..." " Okay, Vasastan." "Is that all right?" " Classy." "Do you own it?" "Yes." "Where do you live?" "Have you tried the lamb kebabs?" "They're delicious." "Plumbing renewed?" " Excuse me?" " In the flat." " Yes, last year." " Balcony?" "Terrace." "Top floor." "Bathroom." "No bathtub  but a lovely shower." "Tiled, Italian mosaic." " Huge living room, parquet." " I think it sounds wonderful." "Oh well." "Here we are" " Lisa, 38 and Leo, 39." "You are one hell of a writer: "my emotional roots need nourishment":" " Did you mean the lamb kebabs?" " I thought it was clever wording." " Of course." "I've lost my appetite." " Lisa, wait." "Wait." "My love life wasn't all bad." "That's not what I mean it's my first love that haunts me." " That's common, isn't it." "I want a man who is my friend, my lover, my critic..." "With Madeleine I made up my mind." "That searching adventure different women..." "It all came to an end when I met Madeleine." "I remember how good it felt how wonderful it was to settle down with Madeleine." "So what am I doing here?" "My being here is insane." "Completely." "I don't want to take my jacket off!" "Moonlighter!" "Not even a receipt!" "I can look however I fucking like!" "Fucking bouncer!" " Thanks for a great reception." " You're welcome." " No honeymoon, I take it?" " Later" " Ellen's too busy right now." " Where's Lisa?" " She had other plans." "Hi." "What a beautiful flat." "Can I keep my shoes on?" "Hell yeah." "Do you want some more?" " Mona!" "Bring the bottle, will you?" "Hello..." "What do we have here?" "Mona" " Lisa." "Mona Lisa!" "The music, where did it go?" "Where did it go?" " Mona is..." "It's hard to explain." " Well, tell her!" "Mona is my best friend." "We look for ways to..." "We often relax with..." "Don't worry, she's a lawyer." " You have an appointment?" "I'll leave." " No." "I'm sorry." "I'm just surprised." "You have an idea how things should be." "Never mind." "It's so quiet." "What would you like?" "I'll turn something on..." "Cheers, Lisa." "Mona and I, we often..." "Hi Lisa!" "I woke up slightly confused." "Who am I?" "And where?" "We flew back from Los Angeles yesterday." "Time is out ofjoint." " And I am desperate to get some sleep." "It's raining here in Paris." "I'll go back to bed and dream of you." "You smell so good." "Hi Caspar!" "What a summer." "Since I started dating, I live in a strange and uncontrollable world." "Why do I continue?" "Is it because there is someone like you  to talk to or is it because the emptiness is filled by these meetings?" "It's notjust your existence I'm beginning to doubt." " When's mum coming home?" " Around seven." " Is she with David?" " Yes." "He smells bad." "His wife buys him cheap perfume when she travels." "I'm Kalle." "Why did you leave?" "I've ordered champagne." "I've been on too many dates." "Too many dates?" "Are you a whore?" "Sorry, just kidding!" " Goodbye." " Hi!" "Leave me alone." "This feels wrong." "It's none of your business why." " You're pretty when you're angry." " Leave me alone." "Go to hell!" "You haven't seen my sailboat." "Open the door, dammit!" "Please, you've got to help me." "Pretend I don't exist!" "Hi." "Have you seen my wife?" "Dark-haired, pretty attractive..." "No, sorry." "Are you sure?" " Sorry about the mess." " I'm just returning the key." "Are you checking out?" "No." "There's still someone in the room." "I brought the key by mistake." "What is wrong with you women?" "Can't you just be OK?" " Is that what you are?" " Yes." "I'm actually pretty OK." " What about Carina?" " She's fine, I suppose..." "But you know..." "Four kids, she's got no time for herself." "That takes its toll, but I suppose she's fine." "Dear Lisa, Time to go on strike." "I'm not going anywhere until we've met." "My plan was to spend my vacation on a sheep farm in Australia  working on an idea for a novel  but I couldn't concentrate with your image and your words on my mind." "Do you have the time and courage to meet?" "If so, I will postpone the trip." "How about a normal dinner with friends of mine?" "I'm not up for more surprises, if you'll forgive me." " He works in TV." "The news." " Really, do I know him?" " Caspar?" "What's his surname?" " Maybe he made the name up." " Mum, these are ugly." " Don't you want to try them on?" " How are those?" " Too long." " Did you make up a name as well?" " No, I just write "Lisa"." "Here, try these." " I'm sorry this is taking forever." "I think you should meet this Caspar, and then quit dating." "Just don't be too kind." "It doesn't pay off." "You know that, right!" " I'm going to bed now." " Sleep tight, darling." "Good night." "Bye." "Dinner's nearly ruined." "Have you tried to call Caspar?" "I forgot that people don't exchange telephone numbers." "Bravo!" "Food!" "Hello." "Somehow I had imagined someone completely different." "It's so pathetic when one's husband betrays you with a younger woman  one avoids confrontation until it takes on grotesque proportions..." "I am not afraid of conflict even if there is no solution." "You choose to live with a man, why him" " I don't know." "You have to pick someone." "You focus on the children." "When it's not about them anymore, it's not about anything." "I'm not even interested in my marriage to David." "Itjust exists like an institution." "But I refuse to be that bitch standing in the way of your relationship." " Just a moment." " No, I need to finish now." "Vera, I think this is for you." " I am sorry." "Madeleine..." "Hello." "Shall I start from the beginning?" "No." "I heard what you said." " And the husband trembles with fear." " No, that's not your style." "No." "I won't terrorize you any more." "I'll call you." "Did you sleep well?" "No." "Goddamn men." "What is Caspar's problem?" "What's he afraid of?" "Why didn't he show up?" " Come with me to visit mum tomorrow." " No thanks." "I'm sending Rakel to her dad's." "I don't want her to see me like this." " You can'tjust wait for him to call!" " Do you think that's what I'm doing?" "!" "Mind if I check my e-mails?" " Have you been on many of these?" " Dates - yes." "How about you?" "Anyway, I was near the bar  it was 2 pm and I wanted to order something to eat  and he suggested a dish that was cheese rolled in veal and bacon." "Sorry I can't take your call..." " Hi." " Weren't you coming here?" " It got a little late." " Are you still with..." "How is he?" "I can't talk now." "David hasn't called." "I don't know what to do." " I'll call you tomorrow." " Be careful." "Don't do anything stupid." "You're going to your mum's tomorrow?" "When does your train leave?" " Why?" "You want to come?" " No." "I have to work." "Plus someone's coming to drill in my flat and I'm helping a friend move." "And I promised to feed my sister's cat." " I was afraid you'd miss your train." " You are nuts!" " Hi mum." " Hi!" " This is Jacob." " Hello." "I didn't see you." "It's amazing." "I'm so proud of it, but this garden is growing over my head." " It must be a lot of work." "I think this is a cucumber, not a melon." "I think you are lying." "I am so sorry." "She makes me feel like I'm 12." "This was quite a surprise visit." "Clearly, my understanding of Lisa  does not match her own self-analysis." "I sense it and I can see it." "Perhaps you sense it too." "But I'm not sure since you are a stranger." "I've only known you for an hour or two." "I do wish  that you'll give my daughter  the tenderness and understanding that I've failed to give her  but it's up to you to solve that together." "We are separate individuals  even if we were very close when you were growing up." "I think we were close." "But you don't." "Well, it's difficult." "I don't actually know how long you've known each other." "Actually, exactly 25 hours." "Well." "You have blood on your lip." "My bag!" "See you tomorrow morning." " His name is Jacob Courselle." " Courselle..." "What does he do?" " He's an architect." " Tell me more." " I am completely in love." " Wow, are you?" "I think so." "Hello, this is Lisa." "Where are you?" "I thought you were..." "I knew you were coming." "Where are you?" "It's almost noon now." "Call me, call me and tell me what's happened." "Bye." "Hello Jacob, now I've tried to reach you 15 times." "Has anything happened?" "Please call back and say something." "I don't know what to say anymore." " Perhaps he lost your number." " He has it in his mobile." "Perhaps he lost his mobile." "He said it was the most beautiful journey he'd ever made." "Jacob Courselle..." "And he's an architect." "If he is dead..." "I'll never know." " He's not dead." " How do you know?" "I don't know if this is where to call, but my friend lost her boyfriend  and she's afraid he's had an accident." "Did anything happen last night?" "You don't know anything." "It's just one unidentified body." "He arrived this morning." "He jumped from the Västerbron bridge." "Is it him?" "Thank you." "I'll go shopping." "We do need to eat something." "I don't know what I'm doing." "Will you call me if you leave?" "Promise?" "Hello?" "Lisa?" "What happened to my computer?" "Are you out of your mind?" "Jacob Courselle is fine." "If you want to talk to him, he is in his office." "But don't get your hopes up." "You're not his only Internet date." " What do you mean?" " I stumbled into an intimate situation between him and... another woman." "He's a bastard, Lisa!" "A cowardly little bastard who likes to play games." " David called." " You're joking." " No." " What did he say?" "Not much." "Talk about people who like to play games..." " What are you saying?" " His wife is at the opera." "That's all." "Vera, you can't call him now." "If not for your own sake, for Rakel's." "I can do whatever the hell I want." "Rakel's not even home!" "You judge me, you think I'm weak and a coward  and that I'm a bad mother." "But you can't see how fucking desperate and twisted you are." "Watch out or you'll end up in a mental hospital like your mum!" " She's not in a mental hospital!" " No, not at the moment." "Goodbye, Vera." "Fuck you too!" "Don't call me next time you panic!" "And you'll pay for the computer!" "Hello" " Nordlander." "I'm listening to our song." "David, I need to see you." "I can't do this." " Where are you?" " In the car by your house." "I'll be right there." "I missed you so much." "Hello." "You rang, didn't you?" "Come in." "Thanks for getting me an appointment so quickly." "My mother will be here soon." "Would you like something?" "A glass of water, please." "You must be Lisa Ask." "Oh, it's you." "Small world." "Come in." "Thanks." " Would you like anything else?" " No thank you." " Have a seat." " Is she your daughter?" " Yes, that's Charlotta our eldest daughter, then there's Anton, and Sofia  who just turned fourteen." " I thought you lived out in the..." " This is just my practice." "I..." "I have a friend who thought that I should..." "I know" " Johan." "Charlotta told me, but I can't discuss him." " That's not why I came." " Lisa..." "I can't take you as a patient." "I'm sure you understand that." "But let's just chat for a moment so Charlotta doesn't suspect anything." " Do you have children?" " No." "I would never have stayed with David if it weren't for the children." " Are you and Vera close?" " Yes." " Why is she doing this?" " You'll have to ask her about that." "Forgive me." "Of course I should talk to her instead." "I'm so sorry." "Is there anything that I can do for you?" "I'm so tired..." "The harder I try, the worse it gets spiralling further and further downwards." "I'd like the number of a Caspar Fredriksson." "Try Caspar David Fredriksson." "No, I don't have an address." "Thanks anyway." "They've talked about this low pressure front for days now." "The bastards at national weather." "I could make much better forecasts." "It's supposed to come from the east, like the becquerels from Chernobyl." "Most low pressure systems come from the west." "Not this one." " Excuse me." " Yes?" " Do you have any aspirin?" " I'll check in the kitchen." "In fact, the weather is the external force that affects us the most." "There is a book about the subject." "Incredible." " Sorry, they didn't have any." " Give her a Jägermeister." "I didn't know you were a meteorologist." "I'm not." "It's just fascinating." "Thunderstorms are both scary and exciting." "I was struck by lightning once." "It was petrifying. "Bang" it went." "Come on." "...weatherfreak." "Com, skyreport." "Com and weathermaster those are American sites." "Tornadoes and tsunamis, that's where it happens." " I can do it." " Oh, go away." " Wait..." " No!" "Didn't you hear her?" "Go away." "What are you doing here?" "!" " Did you have a nice evening?" " It's none of your fucking business." "You're drunk." "Do you really want to take him home?" "Make him leave, you can ring each other tomorrow." "Darling, I can take care of myself." "For Christ's sake, Lisa." "You have no right to tell me what to do." "What do you want?" "Do you want a hand job?" "Go away." " Ears blocked?" "Go away!" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" " Calm down." " Calm down?" "You fucking egghead." " Shut up!" "Stop it, both of you." "Hand me her purse." "Thanks." "Lie down." "I love you, Lisa." "I could have said it years ago, but I didn't." "Something always got in the way." "You had a boyfriend." "I had a girlfriend." "I..." "I guess I just wasn't ready for us." "I thought it would happen eventually." "But it didn't." "But I love you, dammit." "I really do." "And I want to apologize for last time." "I was so horny." "And I panicked a bit as well..." "Lisa..." "What happened to that plastic bag?" "Can you get a nurse?" " Hi." " Hi, Fia." " You look strange." "Are you sick?" " I banged my head yesterday." " Did you cry then?" " No." "I'm glad that you called me." "I asked David  in the beginning of your relationship, if he had met another woman." "He smiled and said, "the day I do, I will let you know."" ""I promise." Those were his exact words." "It's not his love for you or the fact that you slept together  that hurts the most it's that betrayal." "He looked me straight in the eye, and lied." "I'm sorry." "Come on in." "This wasn't good, was it?" "How did you two meet?" "At the grocery store." "It's true." "Waiting in a queue the day before Midsummer's Eve." "And you have three beautiful kids." "You see, this isn't easy for me either." "I've always dreamt of a life with David." "But I came here today because I want an end to it." "I want to stop dreaming of things I can't have." "I'm going to quit my job." "Because I can't see you without loving you." "You have your life and I have mine." "It was stupid of us to mix them up." "I hope you can forgive him." "Hi Caspar!" "Why aren't you here?" "Gustav died today." "He was my patient, severely brain damaged in a car accident." "Gustav couldn't speak but I made myself believe that he understood." "His mother called me this morning." "It was so nice of you to come." "There haven't been many girls around Gustav in the past few years." "Isn't it silly?" "I've been hoping for a miracle  so you two would end up together." "I mean a sensible girl like you - it would have been perfect for Gustav." "38 years." "A short life for my boy." "Please don't feel pressured to come to the funeral I am just so happy you came over." "I have the feeling that it was thanks to you  that he could live on, and then when you were gone so long  he didn't have the strength any more." " May I use your toilet?" " It's the second door to the left." "I've missed you so much!" "Was the trip OK?" "Dear Lisa  nothing is as it seems." "I haven't been myself lately." "I want to explain." "Maybe it's not about learning to love, but about learning to forgive." "Meet me at 9 tonight at Restaurant 20. "C"" "After three weeks of silence, you choose today to write." "I thought you were in Australia." "Now I don't know what to think." "But of course, my invisible friend." " How is Lisa?" " Fine, I think." " Did you two fight?" " Itjust became too much." "Sometimes old friends drift apart." " Can't you call her?" " Not right now." "What are you doing here?" "Your date - he's not coming." "Caspar's not coming because he doesn't exist." "I know you think it's bizarre." "It is bizarre." " You wrote instead of Caspar." " Lisa, there is no Caspar." "No, I understand that." "He should have left a long time ago... to go to Australia." "But he postponed his trip for me, for us to get to know each other." "It was stupid of me." "Sorry." "Are you angry with me about something?" "Is it about Johan?" "I'm sorry." "I don't know if it was a mistake to call you." "Maybe I shouldn't have told you this." "It was so unpleasant." "She was like a stranger." "I don't get it." "I don't know what the hell to think." "Hi, it's daddy." "Is mum home yet?" "No, no." "Was just wondering." "Have her call me if she turns up  or if she calls, have her call my mobile." "Yes, I'll be home soon." "Try the mobile again." " Do you think..." " Answer for Christ's sake!" " Do you think she's been dating?" " What?" "!" "You are talking about my wife!" " I know, but..." " What do you know?" "!" "I can't talk about this." "I just can't." "What is going on?" "!" "Stop." "Stop." "Hello." "Johan..." "What?" "Carina has committed suicide." " Johan's wife has committed suicide." " What...?" " Do you want to come in?" " I have to go to Johan." " Can I drive you?" " I'll take a taxi." "Are you sure?" "Call me later." "Johan?" "Nineteen." "Nineteen fucking idiots." "I don't understand." "Those idiots she picked up on the Internet and screwed at some hotel." "Then she came home and fried pancakes." "Until I found out." "What happened?" "She didn't say a word." "Not even "sorry"." "Should we have fucked more often?" "Would that have helped?" "I hate that damn computer." " One week, then they'll pick him up." " So you're going back to Berlin." "I'm taking the afternoon train tomorrow." "Please tell Lisa that I really meant what I said." " So you're not going to the funeral?" " No, say something for me." "Hi, what a pretty dress you've got." "Now you are crying." " Who was that?" " My friend Fia." "If I had kept Fabian's baby it would have been her age now." "Things are what they are." " What did Björn say when you met?" " A lot of bullshit." " He said that he loved me." " Why throw away everything of value?" " Lf he says he loves you, then he does." " It was just words." " Shit!" " What's wrong?" "I left the iron on." "I'll drop you off here, then I'll come back." "Björn said to say hello." "He wanted to come but had to go back to Berlin." "Okay." "Subtitling:" "Languageland"
