"Declaration of Christmas Peace is an essential part of Finnish Christmas." "The first Declaration of Christmas Peace was issued in 1320... it's really stupid and childish of you to hide in the kitchen... when I want to talk to you." "Hiding in the kitchen won't help." "If you have something to tell me, you'd better tell it right now." "You're mad, paranoid mad." "There is no such thing as paranoid mad." "It's paranoiac." "And no, I'm not." "You invited your Russian friends over?" "Yes, yes." "Yes, yes, yes." "It didn't occur to you that this is a Finnish Christmas?" "This is not some Russian Father Frost disco, damn it!" "In Finland, we celebrate Christmas with family." "I have no family here!" "Whose baby is it then?" "Tell me whose it is." "You're not going to say anything." "You just stare at me." "I could tell by looking into your eyes." "I could tell already back then." "You're just poisoning yourself." "And me." "Fine." "We'll drink vodka then." "At least put the ham on the table." " It's in the fridge." "It has to be sewed warm." "Fuck!" "It's frozen, damn it!" "The ham has to be roasted the night before." "It's the Finnish way!" "It'll take at least five hours before it's done." "Were you going to serve ham with some whipped cream for dessert?" "Put the ham in the oven; it won't roast by itself in the sink." "Please, put the ham in the oven." "Thank you." "No use protesting." "This was your fault." "If I give you a task, you have to perform it." "That's how we do it in Finland." "Now close the door and switch the oven on." "Don't slam it!" "Did you hurt yourself?" "It's the water thing!" "Get up, okay." "Sit down." "Yeah, it's the baby's water." "We have to go right away." "I'll get your coat." "Put your coat on." "Shit!" "Let's go." "The ham will be okay." "Hello." "Hi, it's Dad." "Hi, } Daddy." "I just got back from Paris." "Where can we meet?" "I'm in the hospital." "Are you okay?" " I'm fine, but Mom isn't." "What is it again?" " Come here if you want to know." "We have to go to Grandpa's grave and visit Grandma in the nursing home." "You've never done anything for me, so I don't care if you come or not." "Which hospital are you at?" " At the woman's clinic." "I'm right next door." "I'll be there in a minute." "Damn it." "Shit, this is the North Pole." "Hold it back." "Press your chin to your chest." " Good." "Push!" "It's coming." "Darling, please tell me." "I can't go on living if you don't tell me." "One more push." " Push once more." "It's coming." "Was it Erkki?" "Tell me if it was him." "Tell me." "Was it Erkki?" " Yes!" "Get out!" "I could tell it right away." "I could see it in your eyes." "At least tell me if it's a boy or a girl" "It's a girl." "Out!" " I could tell right away." "Hi." "Tero." "What's the situation?" "Mom is dead." "You killed her." "Juha, hurry." "There is a fight." " I'll kill you." "Slop!" "You'll have to live with it now!" "You'll pay for it." "Are you alright?" " Yes, I'm fine." "Everything's okay." "Are you sure?" " Yes." "Is..." "Riitta Parviainen somewhere here?" "I'm Rauno Vajanne." "Follow me." "Hello." "It's Santa Claus." " Okay, I 'll open it." "Okay, justus, go and see who it is." "Who is it?" " Good evening!" "Please, come in." "Merry Christmas." "It does, indeed, look very Christmassy here." "Look at this big box, Justus." "I think it's for your mother." " No, it's not." "So I shouldn't give it to her?" " No, because it's not for her." "But it says M..." "No, it says j, U, , T. You're right." "It's for Justus." "Santa's eyes are bad, and Santa is tired." "Santa has a long night ahead of him." "Come and give Santa a hug before you start opening the presents." "Merry Christmas, justus." "Santa gives you a big hug." "Merry Christmas, dear child." " Santa must be in a hurry." "No, I'm not in that big of a hurry." "Why don't we open this one." "It must be for you." "I'm sure Santa has a lot of children to visit tonight." "Well, yes..." "Justus, Merry Christmas." "Okay, time for Santa to go." " Already?" "Mom will see Santa off." "Erkki, you can't do something like this." "I can't take it any more." "I'm sorry." "I just had to see him." "Take good care of him." "Tell him that I loved him." "That I always loved him." "Promise?" "Of course." "I'm sorry about all this." " So am I." "Well, that's how our life went." "Yeah, that's right." "Dear justus..." "I decided to write to you because my illness has been getting worse." "I am afraid I will not see you again." "Even though I have not been the father!" "had hoped to he..." "I want you to know that you have been my everything." "I hope you will understand my decision, whatever it will be." "Hi." "Hi." "I just had the baby." "Imagine becoming a father at this age." "Let's go and have a drink." " Congratulations." "It's kind of a bad moment." "I was in the middle of something important." "Common, don't be such a bore." "You are born only once." "But you die a bit more often." "We'll die, that's for sure." "I wanted to have a drink with you." "Okay." "See you there." "Bye." "Rauno, damn it." "What are you doing here?" " Hi!" "I slipped and had my knee checked." "But everything is okay." "Good." "What's up with you?" " I just had a baby." "Today, on Christmas Eve?" " Yes." "At this age." "Congratulations!" "That's incredible." "Life is full of surprises." "Can I buy you a drink somewhere?" "Thanks, but I am not sure if I have time." "I have to meet someone." "Actually, I'm going to see Erkki." "Oh." "I would get to see him too" "So you don't have any Christmas plans then?" "I'll give my Christmas gift to Tero tomorrow." "I'm free to do anything today." "What the heck." "We're both Christmas widows. -if it's okay with you." "Of course." "I'm just a bit puzzled to see you here." "This is incredible." " Let's go then, if you have time." "I have to drive my car home first." "We'll grab a bite, too..." "Enter into the joy." " Quite a mansion." "This is nice." "This is okay, nothing special." " Nice and cozy." "Feel free to look around." "You must be hungry." " It smells really good." "There is gravy on the floor." " What?" "Yes, it's gravy, indeed." "It's my wife's water." "What?" " I'll clean it up later." "We'll close at six tonight." "Will there be anything else?" "One more, please." "Hi." "Hi!" "And congratulations!" "I can't believe this." " I brought my girlfriend with me." "It's great to see you." "It's been a long time." "Great to see you." "We haven't met since your bachelor party." "Let's not talk about it." "Can I get you something?" "We're closing." "We'll all have vodka." "I'll have a beer as well." " I'd like French red wine." "So, which one is it?" " A girl Jesus." "And everything is okay?" "Yes." "How much does she weigh?" " The same as the ham." "I don't know her weight." "Like all babies, she's small and wrinkly." "Does she look like her father or mother?" "Like her mother, I hope." "How is your wife?" " She is fine." "I'm sure." "Her life revolves around the baby now." "It's been some time we last met." " It's been almost a year." "Let's toast to a new life!" "Congratulations, Matti!" " Thanks." "What could be more beautiful than having a baby on Christmas Eve?" "And it's incredible we met." "We ran into each other at the hospital." "So you have been living abroad." " Yes." "What brings you here?" " I have family obligations." "So you just arrived?" " Yes, I arrived today." "You have to see people at Christmas." "So, how is your son?" " He's doing alright." "He's been working as an electrician in films." "And now he is a stagehand at the National Theater." "But he hasn't quite found his place yet." "He's smart, though." "He's the little boy who hit me in the balls with a badminton racket." "Yes, in a doubles match." "So, are you single?" " No." "I have a French girlfriend." "I'm a bit of a traveling man." "One day I'm here and the next I'm there." "I have to decide whether I'll stay there or if I'm going to come back." "Why?" "I understood that you have a good career there." "I've got a lot of interesting work there, but I miss Finland." "You managed to get out of here, so stay there." "Yes, this is no..." "Sorry, I have to take this." "It's a work call." "We have to go to another bar." " Drink up, and we'll go." "Are there any bars open tonight?" " We'll find a place." "What is it with his son?" "I don't know." "I thought Rauno was gay." "Well.." "He is." "You never know." "But that is what I have understood." "Not that it matters." "I wonder if this French girlfriend is just a cover-up." "Well..." "But he's a great guy anyway." " That's right." "It's incredible that we're here together on a night like this." "We're in the same spot as 30 years ago." "We have the same freedom." "I don't know about you, but I can do anything I want tonight." "It's beautiful how the age of a person..." "Look, he's still got the same enthusiasm." "No, but I mean..." "We are going to hear philosophizing and praise all night." "I haven't had a chance to speak Finnish in a long time." "Now you do." "All the different ages are in us." " Tell me about it." "They're present in us all the time." "It's fascinating." "It's true." "You carry them with you your whole life." "Guess where I bumped into you the last time?" "I have no idea." "You won't believe this." "I was in a book shop in Paris." "Your photo book was there." "It'd been translated into French." "Really?" "Didn't you know?" "Of course I did, but it was amazing you found it." "I though it would end up on a shelf at the Finnish embassy." "For some reason, they translated the title as L'lntimite." "In their plainness and expressiveness... your photos are exceptional." "Who was the actress you worked with in the film that was shown here?" "The one where the woman's son starts to threaten your character." "She had dark hair." "A beautiful woman." "Natalie." "She's a fantastic actress, but the film itself was nothing special." "It was an art house film." " They played it here in the spring." "But the woman..." "I wanted to ask you something after reading your book." "The relationship you have with the people you photograph..." "I had no relationships, especially not with the girl on the cover." "I wish I had." "I even asked her if we could." "You have photographed so much suffering and misery, and war..." "That's the point." "When your work has been based on the shock effect... you want to show things in their nakedness." "They're nude photographs?" "No, the people's eyes are naked in them." "So they're portraits?" "They portray people in their daily lives." "I've made one series of nude photographs." "I'll show them to you." "I hope the nude photos are not of you." "No, they're not." "The photos are of dead and dying people." "Bruised people." "But that's Matti's everyday life." " Sort of." "I would like to spend one day in your shoes." "You're working on a project that has to do with the police?" "No." "I'm just interested in how people in different professions see the world." "Why do you bother yourself with that?" "Evil is contagious, you know." "Why touch all that?" "I'm interested in different perspectives." "My perspective is illusory." "I work with fiction." "That's what I mean." "I work with fiction as well." "But you see the reality as well." "You photograph the suffering." "That's what I mean." "Is it worth it to touch all evil in the world?" "Even though we are taught that we shouldn't look at everything..." "I think we should choose what we want to see." "Why should we deliberately poison our souls and minds?" "You're right." "I've had enough of all that." "I can't stand the smell of dead bodies any more." "So you're saying that you're tired of your work." "What pills are you taking?" "Remember that I'm a cop." "If you have stimulants, please share with us." "We'll empty our pockets for you." " Pop anything you want." "That makes this Christmas perfect." " Merry Christmas, Mr. Santa!" "He seemed a bit lost." "Where are we going to find a bar that's open?" "And soon, I hope." "Matti, you know the bars." "Don't worry, young men." "We'll have hypothermia." "And with some more snow, they'll never find us." ""Three mummies found in a park." "You never whined about cold before" "Let's go and sing something." " Let's run!" "Boys, let's run!" "You can't be serious." " Absolutely!" "The lights are on." "This is a karaoke joint." "Are you sure you want to go in?" "We're closed." "Sorry, but we're closed." "Please, we've been walking all night." "You'll have to come back after Christmas." "Please, wait." "I became a father today." "We'll drink a lot." "Alright then." "Make sure you drink your money's worth." "Merry Christmas!" "You can sit wherever you like." " Thanks." "There are not too many people here." " We can sit anywhere we like." "One, two, one, two..." "I would like to eat something." " We'll get something." "You can also sing karaoke." "You can choose your own song." "I'll show you." "You can sing while you drink." "You know this one?" "Te-pe-tee, te-pe-te-pe te-pe-tee Spring is in full swing" "Te-pe-tee, te-pe-te-pe te-pe-tee I heard a little bird singing" "Erkki, come!" "We are two birds in the same tree When we sing together" "Everyone will hear the call of love" "Te-pe-tee, te-pe-te-pe te-pe-tee I built a nest" "Te-pe-tee, te-pe-te-pe te-pe-tee I want to share it with my dearest" "This is a flamethrower." "It was worth waiting for." "We haven't toasted to the new father yet, so here we go." "To the new father and to fatherhood." " To all beautiful and lovely women." "All women are so beautiful I could fuck them." "It's so surprising to hear you say that." "Our Don Giovanni." "I've always been into falling in love." "So you fall in love and..." "At the same time, I long for solitude." "When I'm abroad, staying at a hotel..." "I enjoy my freedom and independence immensely." "There is no one who will tell me what to do." "Then [see a person who smiles at me... and looks like she might like me." "And I see us living a happy life together... sharing moments and all that." "At night, I have these fantasies about caring for someone." "I'll find a woman shivering with cold." "We're on an island" "The woman has been sailing and has suffered a shipwreck." "I'll carry her in and heat the sauna for her." "I'll take her clothes off." "It's erotic and protective at the same time." "The women must be in seventh heaven." "But I've never found a woman on an island." "So what seems to be love is really just a ?" "eeting moment of passion." "It is an erotic fantasy... as it always ends in love-making." " You mean fucking." "But there is tenderness and giving pleasure." "Do you give pleasure to the woman or yourself'!" "To the woman." "It's part of male eroticism." "Like Alberoni says, a man is by the..." "Sorry to interrupt, but do you see a connection... between the way you act with women and your morals?" "You said earlier that one should have morals." "Or do you just act on your instinct?" " I act on my instinct." "So you're an animal" "Yes." "What is the world crying out for?" "Animal!" "It cries out for something more." " We should free the animal in us." "I wish I had understood earlier... that instead of focusing on yourself... you could delve into the other person." "I have never taken responsibility for anything." "I always left when I should have made a decision." "Do you feel a longing for something you have lost?" "I don't know." "I have always enjoyed long ?" "ights." "I often become emotional" "I feel like crying about my life and the people I have lost." "I want to cry about the happiness I have had in my life." "It's a happy "Y" "What are you crying about?" "Do you miss your children?" "I have tried to learn to be selfish." "I have tried to tell myself... that my children are not an extension of my life." "They have their own lives." "I don't want them to be defined by me." "Of course I offer them security." "But I've been away from home a lot." "I have been reckless, and I have felt guilty about it." "Especially after my divorce, I worried about them." "How would they do when I wasn't there... to provide them with security." "But I've tried to learn selfishness." " Why do you want to be selfish?" "Would you do it for your children or because it makes your work easier?" "I believe that if I can fulfill myself... and become myself, so to speak..." "I will be a better person with other people and my children." "You say you will be a better person if you become whole and yourself." "How will it help your children... if you're whole on the other side of the world?" "Sorry for being provocative." "It's as if you are talking about my life." "My situation is different." "I haven't had children before today." "It has been the biggest tragedy of my life." "That is why my first marriage ended the way it did." "I'm happy that it ended because it was really difficult in the end." "Are you crying?" "it's just that it's like you're talking about my life." "It's just that..." "I'm so fucking..." "I talk about humanity and about being a better person" "I talk about how, as an actor, I should be a better person." "And the only thing I have done in my life... is leave my family." "Then you have to face your nothingness." "The con?" "ict is sometimes so..." " What is the big issue then?" "I have abandoned my closest people." "I have escaped, escaped and escaped..." "Do you feel a need to do something about it?" "I don't know if I can." "How do you undo the past thirty years?" "Do you keep in touch with your ex-wife, the mother of your son?" "I see her at Christmas." "I see her at Christmas." "I think you just touched a sore spot there." "He was like that when I met him in the hospital." "What is it?" " I don't know." "He hasn't told me." "We should be able to talk about things like these." "Just between us..." " Did I say something wrong again?" "You must have touched a sore spot." "You showed the animal in you." "Shit, shit, shit." "These things are not easy." "And if you think about Rauno..." "He's coming." " I mean, you and your women..." "Gypsies, wine and women!" "Like Dmitri in The Brothers Karamazov." "Common, let's sing something." "I need some signs of life, you know." " Patron!" "Loneliness around me Sometimes takes human form" "I know what!" "want I know how little I am capable of" "Loneliness in my heart Condenses into bitter drops" "That is the cause And consequence of loneliness" "I'm stuck on you I will always be" "Say 'leave and I will go" "Soon you will see I didn't go anywhere" "I wish I knew you better Then I might learn to know myself" "Even though I never left you I will come again" "I wish I knew you better Then I might learn to know myself" "Even though I never left you I will come again" "I don't envy those Who were born to live a double life" "Sometimes I feel One life is hard enough" "I wish I knew you better Through our frozen fatherland" "Even though I never left you I will come again" "Good job, Rauno!" "Give it your all!" "That was a great performance." "Good job!" "Perfect!" "Excellent." " Sit down, will you." "Who's the next one on stage?" " We have to cool off." "Just get on stage." "I've got a song for you." "We agreed everybody would sing." " In a minute." "We'll finish the cigars first." "I need another drink." " Another round, please." "First sing, then drink." " My throat feels coarse." "Somebody called you." " I see." "It was Cherie." "Your darling called." "Did you answer?" " Yes." "Excuse me, I have to call..." " Don't go anywhere." "Sit down." "Seemed like a nice person." "We said that you were on stage." "You didn't answer the phone?" " Yes, I did." "And?" " I said you were singing." "Your Cherie is..." " I have to call..." "So this Cherie is a man." "Who called me?" " Cherie." "This is my agent's number." " No one has an agent named Cherie." "What is his name?" "jean-Pierre?" " No..." "Why hide something like this from your old friends?" "Hide what?" "Stop joking." "Your boyfriend called." " I don't have a boyfriend." "Who was it then?" " My agent." "Why does it say Cherie on that?" "I won't let you wriggle out of this." "We'll talk about it once and for all." "We're going to drink some more." " I made it a triple." "The size of the glass seems right to me." "Thank you." "A toast to Cherie!" " To Cherie." "You think I'm gay?" " We don't think anything." "So I'm gay because I'm an actor and live in France?" "There is nothing wrong with being gay these days." "Why are you hiding something like that?" "Being gay must be so much easier." " Could be." "Probably." " Who knows." "It looks like it's Erkki's turn." "That's right." " The stage is yours." "You didn't get offended, did you?" " It was tasteless." "It was completely harmless." " Yeah, right." "Are you ready?" "Let's go." "I can say 'thank you' In ten languages" "I can wish a happy new year" "But I can't catch The early morning shining star" "Hi." "It's Dad." "I'm at the Swengi karaoke club." "Please come here, so we can talk." "Love died in the stream of life Save me if you can" "Save me Save me" "I could walk Till the end of the world" "I could come back and take a breath" "But after you are gone There is nothing left for me" "I don't understand the magic of life Save me if you have time" "Save me Save me" "Save me" "That was a great performance, Erkki." "Very soulful." "You just told more about yourself... than you have during the whole night." "That's right." "You cover yourself so much." "With you two, there is a good reason for it." "Why couldn't we have more moments like that?" "Why do we have to be so goddamn..." "I told you that the joke was tasteless." "Fucking tasteless." "Riitta just died." "And Tero beat me up at the hospital." "And you, who I consider my friends..." "Riitta is dead?" "Should we follow him?" "You have a problem?" " I hope not." "Everything is fine." " Good." "Did you know?" " No." "I didn't know." "I could tell he wasn't himself when I met him." "Rauno the Ruin." "That's how I used to call him." "I was joking." "It was just a nickname." "In reality Rauno was in ruins when we met." "Rauno the Ruin." "I was working as an on-call mental health counselor." "It was a depressing job." "After work, at 5 a.m., I used to have coffee at a night cafe." "They don't have places like that any more." "It was a place where night and day met." "That's where we met." "Rauno was still in the party mood after a long night." "I recognized Rauno from television and films." "I thought I was his last desperate attempt." "He walked me home and said he would come for coffee the next day." "At the same time and place." "I was sure we would never see again." "The next morning Rauno sat there." "Sober." "I have to admit he made an impression." "In a month, we were living together." "A year later, Tero was born." "Then everything was over." "I think he fell in love with me... because he saw in me a chance to change." "But when Tero was born, he didn't have the strength to change any more." "For a few of years, he tried to hang onto the relationship." "Then he left." "The divorce was actually a relief for me... but Tero is a walking fatherlessness." "It hurts more than death." "It's normal to react that way in a situation like this." "Saying that the joke was tasteless was an excuse to tell us something." "Maybe it was good that he..." "Okay, I'll leave." " No, you won't." "I'm sorry about that." "I'm really sorry about that." "We'll all feel bad if you leave now." "I will go to my lonely hotel room and be sad." "Sit down and stop talking bullshit." "We don't want you to be alone thinking about things like these." "I'm really sorry." "It's your big day and Christmas." "So much has happened in one day." " You could have told us right away." "That is exactly what I mean." "If one could always tell..." "what is on one's mind." "How did she die?" "She committed suicide." "Took some pills." "You are not responsible for it." " Yes, I am." "Riitta always had such a clear mind." "I don't understand how a person like her can do something like that." "Tero blames me for it, and Riitta left a note where she blames me" "How do you undo a thing like this?" " Give it some time." "When did it happen?" " Today." "Give yourself a couple of days before thinking about it." "I have to leave for Paris tomorrow." "I don't have time to think about it." "I'll just try to breathe a little bit." "But you know what, guys?" "Now we'll start this evening all over again." "We'll have drinks first." " I'll sit here, and then you come." "Let's take a couple of steps back." "I wish I could rewind my life." "To avoid this happening again, let's speak the truth from now on." "No..." "We'll speak nothing but the truth from now on." "Straight, honest talk." " That's a great idea." "Things tend to build up." "You won't get a new round of drinks before Matti has sung." "Hurry up." "Here I go." "Sing something cheerful." " Hurry up." "A happy song, please." "This is Matti's choice." "This is not that happy, but it's from our youth." "Are you ready?" " Yeah, let's go." "One, two, three." "Your empty bed next to me Reminds me of you" "You are gone" "And I will not have you Next to me again" "You went into another bed" "And started everything All over again" "Even though you knew it would hurt" "And destroy all we had" "I don't know where to go I don't know how to go on living" "The day is windy" "The ice just won't melt" "But one day I will be on my feet again" "If I could just try again And hold my head up high" "This one was for the beautiful woman who just walked in." "Thank you." " Good job, Matti." "Great performance, Matti." "You got audience." "Would you like to sit with us?" "Come and sit with us." " We'll get you a drink." "Do you speak Finnish?" "Please come and join us." " What?" "Come and sit with us. -if you like." "We'd love to have you at our table." "Would you like something to drink?" "A glass of water?" "No..." "Red wine." "I'll get it." "Are you waiting for someone?" " Or..." "You got married?" "I hope this is okay." "Here you are." "Thanks." "Or..." "Merry Christmas!" " It's nice that you came." "Yes..." "How nice..." "Christmas." "This is unbelievable." "Where did you come from?" "Who are you?" "What are you doing here?" "Why are you here?" "Well.." " Maybe you asked too many questions." "How?" " Yes." "I mean, how did you get here?" "I walked." "I mean..." " It's a beautiful thing you came." "Do you live around here?" "Yes." " Does your family know you are here?" "I mean, does somebody wonder where you are?" "Excuse me." " May I sit with you?" "He is just unbelievable." " Is everything alright?" "May I take a photo of you?" "I'm a photographer." "Is it okay if I take a picture?" "They're laughing." " They're laughing at me." "He is a professional photographer." "They think they're funny." "You have been photographed before, haven't you?" "Please put your hand on the table." "Yes, that's beautiful." "Thank you." "Please look that way." "Can I ask you one thing?" "Smile, please." "Why don't you smile?" "If you want, I'll delete these pictures." "Well." "Thanks." "What an idiot." "That fucking whore monger!" "Damn it!" "What a charming woman!" " She looks really disturbed." "You think with your cock, or what?" " Common." "She could be a Russian whore." "She is crazy, that's for sure." "Not all Russian women are whores." "You should know." "What do you mean by that?" " Nothing." "What did you mean by that?" " I didn't mean anything." "When you said she was a Russian whore..." "Were you talking about my wife?" " No." "I didn't mean anything." "Don't blame it on me." "You said it yourself." "You know this isn't that easy for me." "Common." "Calm down." "Why did you bring it up?" "What's your motive?" "That's unfair." "I don't understand you." "I think your behavior is outrageous." "Why can't I photograph this woman if I find her beautiful?" "Common." "Everyone can see what you are after." "Why are you so upset?" " I don't understand you." "It's just innocent fun." "I wouldn't exploit a woman like that." "How do you know where it will lead to?" "How do you know what she wants?"
